[00:00] <adabo> I can't get php to work on Ubuntu Server. I've already tried these steps(after fresh install of server): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/installing-php5-and-apache-on-ubuntu/
[00:00] <Diamondcite> fognrain: Which OS is going to be your guest?
[00:00] <adabo> html works, but not php
[00:01] <fognrain> a variety, XP, Vista and Ubuntu
[00:01] <mkhanyisi> adabo, sudo apt-get install php5 php5-mysql
[00:02] <adabo> mkhanyisi: ok
[00:02] <Diamondcite> fognrain: So something like samba should work for you.
[00:02] <Diamondcite> mkhanyisi: Does ubuntu auto cofigure apache's configuration to activate PHP?
[00:03] <mkhanyisi> Diamondcite, i think so
[00:03] <UnholyTerror> yes
[00:03] <determinology> question where is the tmp foldier on ubuntu linux? Keep in mind this pc is dual boot as wll..When i goto places file system tmp its not there
[00:03] <adabo> "php5 is alread the newest version" "php5-mysql is already the newest version"
[00:03] <mkhanyisi> Diamondcite, i think the gymnastics of editting apache files are on the low
[00:03] <Diamondcite> determinology: Try /tmp /var/tmp ~/tmp
[00:04] <adabo> When I type php code into index.html, the page is blank
[00:04] <adabo> <?php phpinfo(); ?>
[00:04] <Nach0z> hello... um, how do i copy a directory when the "sudo cp" command says "ommiting directory <directory i want to copy>" ?
[00:04] <Diamondcite> adabo: Shouldn't php files end in .php ?
[00:04] <jrib> !lamp | adabo
[00:04] <jrib> adabo: read the instructions there and follow the troubleshooting steps
[00:04] <fognrain> Diamondcite thanks
[00:04] <Diamondcite> Nach0z: cp -r from_dir to_dir
[00:04] <Nach0z> kthx
[00:05] <adabo> jrib: Good idea. Thanks
[00:05] <adabo> Diamondcite: You can run php in html
[00:05] <jrib> adabo: php won't get interpreted in files ending in .html by default if that's what you are doing (I believe)
[00:05] <mkhanyisi> adabo, to rename index.html to adabo.php
[00:05] <UnholyTerror> adabo, you have to tell apache what file extensions you want to process as php
[00:05] <mkhanyisi> adabo then: http://localhost/adabo.php
[00:06] <adabo> jrib, mkhanyisi, UnholyTerror: Ok.
[00:06] <adabo> Didn't think of that
[00:06] <Nach0z> part
[00:07] <mkhanyisi> adabo, but you are right, you can embed php in .html files
[00:07] <UnholyTerror> adobe, /etc/apache2
[00:07] <mkhanyisi> UnholyTerror, its adabo , not acrobat
[00:07] <adabo> mkhanyisi: Though I'm sure it is a setting in the config. I totally overlooked that.
[00:08] <adabo> Thank's for the heads up guys.
[00:09] <adam___> hi
[00:10] <UnholyTerror> oops!
[00:10] <adabo> mkhanyisi: You were right. I renamed it to adabo.php and added it to the address bar and it loaded fine: http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/1978/ss20101028011018.png
[00:10] <she_dyed> you been in secret talks UnholyTerror !
[00:10] <adabo> Still should load from html though :(
[00:11] <jrib> adabo: why do you want to use php in files ending in html out of curiousity?
[00:11] <UnholyTerror> adabo, AddHandler directive in /etc/apache2
[00:11] <adabo> I have no idea. I suspect because I am following directions from another user.
[00:12] <jrib> adabo: I would just leave it be and use .php for php to be honest
[00:12] <adabo> UnholyTerror: Ok. I'll look into that.
[00:12] <f_mulder> Im using samba on my ubuntu desktop so I can share files between windows and ubuntu...but now I have some rar files in an folder ... and when I try to unzip them with winrar in windows I get the error message :"access denied"..why is that :O? (I still can open them up with winrar and drag/drop or extract)
[00:12] <f_mulder> in that folder*
[00:12] <UnholyTerror> adabo, AddHandler directive in /etc/apache2/mods_enabled
[00:12] <Diamondcite> f_mulder: so windows CAN read from that file?
[00:12] <adabo> jrib: Ok. I suppose you are right. I'm new to this as you can tell
[00:13] <adabo> UnholyTerror: Now yo ulost me
[00:14] <ilyekkakai> Help! This morning my wireless card didn't come on and it won't get detected. How do i fix it?
[00:15] <ilyekkakai> It was working last night just fine
[00:15] <UnholyTerror> adabo, AddHandler directive in /etc/apache2/mods_enabled/php5_conf
[00:15] <ilyekkakai> but this morning it decided to pack up and die.
[00:16] <UnholyTerror> my config on this laptop is different than my server.
[00:16] <UnholyTerror> sorry
[00:16] <adabo> UnholyTerror: Ok. I'm with you so far. I think
[00:16] <Diamondcite> ilyekkakai: So you don't see a way to enable it from network manager?(right click)
[00:16] <pelmen> guys, how do i disable udev on startup ?
[00:17] <BobSapp> hi there what application is best to rip music from my cd collection to mp3?
[00:17] <BobSapp> or maybe flac
[00:17] <UnholyTerror> default looks like it sends .phtml through PHP.
[00:17] <Diamondcite> BobSapp: k3b is pretty good for a GUI to rip with.
[00:17] <BobSapp> I used to use grip
[00:17] <ilyekkakai> Diamondcite, it doesn't even show up any more. It is as though it is turned off - but the wireless switch on the laptop is on
[00:17] <BobSapp> i suppose k3b wont hurt since i have kde libs anyway
[00:18] <Praxi> how do I tell what my apache user is?
[00:18] <UnholyTerror> Sethandler
[00:18] <Diamondcite> ilyekkakai: I don't suppose a complete shutdown and startup works either?
[00:18] <BobSapp> thanks Diamondcite
[00:18] <ilyekkakai> Diamondcite, I tried restarting, shutting down, taking out the battery...
[00:18] <Diamondcite> BobSapp: I'm too used to KDE apps, so I'm sorry if it's a burden to intsll that much x.x
[00:18] <UnholyTerror> adabo, <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$">	SetHandler application/x-httpd-php    </FilesMatch>
[00:19] <BobSapp> Diamondcite: nah its cool i have some other kde apps anyway
[00:19] <Diamondcite> ilyekkakai: I can't be of too much help at the moment.. if it doesn't show up on lspci or lsusb I have no idea at the moment.
[00:19] <Praxi> if I'm trying to chown a directory for apache, how do I know what user to chown to?
[00:19] <Diamondcite> Time to dinner!
[00:20] <mbroeker> Praxi, ubuntu and debian let the apache2 service run as www-data
[00:20] <Praxi> awesome thanks mbroeker
[00:20] <mbroeker> Praxi, but never ever chown the webroot, eg /var/www to www-data:www-data
[00:20] <adabo> UnholyTerror: Yes I have the same line of code as that
[00:20] <ilyekkakai> Diamondcite, it doesn't show up if I ls  PCI or USB
[00:20] <UnholyTerror> adabo, you can alter that line to say <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)|html$">   I think.
[00:21] <mbroeker> Praxi, people from the internet do NOT need writeaccess to your files or your setup is wrong :)
[00:21] <adabo> UnholyTerror: Oh I see. Well if breaks, we'll find out :D
[00:21] <Praxi> Does this look correct ? sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /apps
[00:22] <UnholyTerror> it's a pattern match... but will send everything .php .php3 .phtml .html through PHP whether there is PHP code in it or not.
[00:22] <Praxi> I'm getting a permissions problem, but only to a sub directory, I copied that sub directory from my user directory, I assume it took its permissions with it
[00:22] <mbroeker> Praxi, give write-access to files only when it is necessary. eg, an sqllite database file must be writable, other things not
[00:23] <Praxi> my website can't even read the directory
[00:23] <ilyekkakai> Help my wireless card in laptop decided to die this morning.The wireless switch on the laptop is on...  It refuses to show up in lspci and it was working fine last night. can anyone help get it working again?
[00:23] <UnholyTerror> Praxi, nope
[00:23] <Praxi> I did a chmod -R 755 on the directory, the problem didn't change
[00:24] <geitenneuker> who is the boss?
[00:24] <Praxi> so when I copied it, it inherited the parent permissions of its new location?  Is that right UnholyTerror ?  Thanks!
[00:24] <mbroeker> you need a Alias /apps /apps/ <Directory /apps/> ... </Directory> entry in /etc/apache2/conf.d/apps.conf
[00:24] <UnholyTerror> must be user-group that server is running as or at least be able to be read by 'others'
[00:24] <Praxi> still doesn't fix the problem, but helps me out hehe
[00:24] <mbroeker> Praxi, ^^^
[00:24] <UnholyTerror> it should have kept the original permissions
[00:25] <UnholyTerror> what are the perms?
[00:25] <Praxi> Sorry total linux newbie, can I check that with chmod?
[00:25] <UnholyTerror> ls -l /path/to/file
[00:26] <Praxi>  They are drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2010-10-27 09:43 Snorby
[00:26] <Praxi> oh wait thats to a sub folder
[00:26] <pelmen> guys, what could be the problem. If i have my IR receiver in the box, ubuntu waits good 3 minutes before startung gdm. If I remove it, it starts perfectly fine ?
[00:27] <pelmen> ^USB ir receiver
[00:27] <Praxi> its trying to find a network over IR? :)  no clue hehe
[00:28] <pelmen> damn... ok, then different question . :) how do i disable udev on boot (i think it has problems)
[00:29] <Praxi> mbroeker: looking at your suggestion, is that also how I shorten the name?  currently where I buried the app /var/www/apps/Snorby/public is going to make a really annoying URL, will your suggestion allow me to make it easier?
[00:29] <UnholyTerror> Praxi, chown user:group /path/to/file
[00:29] <alp82> did anybody try to use a sidewinder joystick with force feedback?
[00:30] <alp82> i just realized that i have one in my closet for several years without touching it
[00:31] <poincare101> where is the grub menu.lst file on ubuntu?
[00:31] <UnholyTerror> \/boot
[00:32] <dksoba2010> I've installed ubuntu 10.10 w/USB drive on my Dell T3500 workstation at school. I had to enable "noacpi" option for the usb install to work. Now when trying to boot from the hard drive ubuntu drops into a shell (Busy Box v1.15.3). Said "Gave up waiting for root device". I'm assuming I need to do something with the "noacpi" option somewhere but I'm not sure where to go or how to search for this.
[00:32] <UnholyTerror>  /boot
[00:33] <UnholyTerror> grub
[00:33] <poincare101> /boot/grub?
[00:33] <Oblat> What does this error mean when I run a sh? Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FrontStruct.
[00:35] <f_mulder> Diamondcite, yes it can reed the .zip/.rar file ... I can open it with winrar and extract .. but if I just right click on it and then choose "Extract here" then I don't have the permissions :(
[00:35] <tim> is  there an autoCAD program for linux?
[00:36] <valium> hi all just popped in to get suggestions on live/hot disk imaging tools for a ubuntu server.  Any suggestions
[00:36] <Diamondcite> f_mulder: Sounds like it's a read only share.. did you make it writeable in samba?
[00:36] <scoker> #ola
[00:36] <furi> i'd like to be able to use the G buttons along with the M buttons, and the applets, for the logitech G510. how can i do this?
[00:36] <scoker> hello my friendlys
[00:37] <UnholyTerror> poincare101, no menu.lst in latest ubuntus
[00:37] <UnholyTerror> which one are you using?
[00:38] <poincare101> UnholyTerror: what is the equivalent, I am using 10.10
[00:38] <valium> tim : http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html
[00:38] <UnholyTerror> it will be simpler for me to tell you to google grub2 tutorial
[00:38] <tim> is that something you known of, or did you just google it?
[00:39] <UnholyTerror> poincare101, what did you want to do?
[00:39] <poincare101> UnholyTerror: Let me tell you what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to get Windows on top of my list so that I don't have to hit the down key several times when I have to boot windows
[00:39] <major0211> hey all
[00:39] <UnholyTerror> easy
[00:40] <poincare101> UnholyTerror: how?
[00:40] <UnholyTerror> poincare101, go into /etc/grub.d folder
[00:40] <major0211> may i ask a question bout ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix ?
[00:40] <King_Troopa> anyone know if its possible to make downloads go to RAM until completed, to allow the HDD to spin down ?
[00:41] <dlyneswork> King_Troopa, Just create a ram drive, and set that as your download directory
[00:41] <dlyneswork> King_Troopa, then move it somewhere else after the download, manually
[00:42] <dlyneswork> King_Troopa, or, make sure your /tmp directory is mounted on a ram drive and wait until firefox has fully downloaded it before telling it where to save the file
[00:42] <UnholyTerror> poincare101, ???
[00:42] <f_mulder> Diamondcite, yes it's writeable
[00:42] <goltoof> major0211, don't ask to ask, just ask
[00:43] <f_mulder> ah Diamondcite I think I know what the problem is... while adding new folders to my share folder ... they don't become writeabel
[00:43] <King_Troopa> dlyneswork so how do i create a ram drive? is there a package in the Software Center relating to that?
[00:43] <f_mulder> Diamondcite, can't I manage that somehow so they will automaticly be writeabel as wellP?
[00:44] <dlyneswork> King_Troopa, http://www.google.ca/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=how+do+i+create+a+ram+drive+in+linux%3F&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=d5e9603c0c44c0de
[00:44] <plouffe> What's the name of the flash plugin in FF now?
[00:44] <King_Troopa> lol thanks
[00:44] <destroyer> yo
[00:44] <dlyneswork> King_Troopa, first hit should help you
[00:45] <Diamondcite> f_mulder: It might have something to do with the umask, but I never had to do such a thing
[00:45] <UnholyTerror> poincare101, ???
[00:47] <f_mulder> hm okey Diamondcite ...I'll try to set chmod -R as well
[00:48] <blackshirt> umask ??
[00:48] <blackshirt> f_mulder ???
[00:48] <King_Troopa> dlyneswork the first hit assumes that red hat is being used. does that change anything..?
[00:48] <f_mulder> blackshirt, I don
[00:48] <f_mulder> 't know what umask is
[00:48] <dlyneswork> King_Troopa, not really...it's all pretty much linux
[00:48] <f_mulder> :P
[00:48] <Guest50375> hallo o.o
[00:49] <major0211> correct, goltoof ...a friend and i both installed the 10.10 onto our netbooks, but his graphic drivers screwed up since he plugged in a second display ... well ... the thing is that he actually has a different gui, he has contextmenus and a better structured start menu ....
[00:49] <major0211> Guest ... hier mir Englisch ^^
[00:49] <major0211> nur
[00:49] <blackshirt> umask is for set file mode
[00:49] <Guest50375> i installed ubuntu studio.. and i was wondering.. since the interface sucked, if i can update the regular ubuntu into it
[00:49] <Guest50375> ok, lol. i know english
[00:49] <jags_> howdy, anyone know how to get the latest version of empathy in 10.04, on my 10.10 desktop I can link contacts together if they are redundant, this option is not available in empathy on 10.04
[00:50] <major0211> xD
[00:50] <blackshirt> Guest: yes
[00:50] <john38> Hey i got a question
[00:50] <jags_> do I need to use the developer ppa?
[00:50] <Guest50375> blackshirt, how?
[00:50] <ka1ser> is there a way to make a sleep of less than 1 second in a bash script???
[00:50] <she_dyed> ka1ser: smallest is second
[00:50] <john38> Why does my computer say ......Deactivating procesess....etc..
[00:50] <john38> when i shut down
[00:50] <ka1ser> she_dyed: =(
[00:51] <Guest50375> scheiße.. i tried putting in the normal ubuntu disk and updating it
[00:51] <blackshirt> Guest: basic system on ubuntu is same..
[00:52] <john38> Why does my computer say ......Deactivating procesess....etc..
[00:52] <john38> when i shut down
[00:52] <Guest50375> i know, but no themes, no my documents or anything... and most of the original ubuntu 10.10 programs aren'T installed.
[00:53] <she_dyed> because its shutting down, its like fyi only john38
[00:53] <Loshki> ka1ser: the gnu version of sleep apparently allows floating point. Try sleep --help and see if yours does too...
[00:54] <john38> she_dyed, yeah but on my regular computer it just shuts off without any of those messages
[00:54] <Guest50375> i want to have a regular copy of ubuntu.. with ubuntu studio in it.... i tried loading ubuntu then updating to ubuntu studio. it only installed core programs.. my mic doesnt work.. and i have to manually add stuff.. and most of the midi stuff doesnt work.. but it works on ubuntu studio...
[00:54] <john38> she_dyed, does it have to do with under powered systems?
[00:54] <compaq> anyone know of any good flash/swf channels here?
[00:54] <she_dyed> john38: idk, maybe the splash settings differ?
[00:54] <gccostabr> anyone using nVidia 160M and having issues with the window borders + compiz?
[00:55] <Guest50375> if i put the regular ubuntu repos and stuff with the ubuntu studio, would it update to regular? or just add more stuff to the repos without really doing anything?
[00:55] <blackshirt> just remove ubuntustudio-desktop, and install your favourite DM
[00:55] <|GaiJin|> I have an old Medion RAM2010 laptop, with ubuntu 10.04 newly installed on it. BUt I am having problems activating the wlan hardware (Fn+f2) Is there a way one might go around this=
[00:55] <Guest50375> ok
[00:55] <|GaiJin|> ?
[00:56] <blackshirt> @Guest: you can mix repository from ubuntu studio or regular gnome ubuntu
[00:56] <test1234> type ifconfig
[00:57] <test1234> does it see the device
[00:57] <jags_> whats the best terminal based irc app?
[00:57] <she_dyed> weechat jags_ hands down
[00:57] <jags_> she_dyed, cool i'll get
[00:57] <JoeMaverickSett> jags_: http://irssi.org ;)
[00:58] <she_dyed> |GaiJin|: on other laptops the Fn works only at BIOS time
[00:58] <|GaiJin|> I know it worked before, had it on a older version, but had to install windows that time to get it activated, and set bios to remember last state.
[00:58] <Guest50375> blackshirt: ok, so when i add the repos from the original maverick release, it SHOULD update like the regular one?
[00:58] <|GaiJin|> I will try... thanks she_dyed
[00:58] <she_dyed> gl man
[00:58] <jags_> I'll try them both
[00:59] <blackshirt> Guest: yes,
[00:59] <she_dyed> ok jags_ see how they did it in the old days with irssi =)
[00:59] <Guest50375> awesome. i'll try it. thank you so much! i really enjoy all the features of the regular one..
[00:59] <Guest50375> ubuntu studio has almost none of them
[01:00] <pc500> I have a box which I was doing a release upgade via SSH and lost connection.  Is it possible to resume the upgrade process still running in th ebackground?  I can still SSH into it.  Or should I just reboot and see what happens?  What's the best recovery method?
[01:00] <Guest50375> like rhythembox... and other stuff and themes... and evne the "my documents" folder :C
[01:00] <|GaiJin|> no luck:(...
[01:00] <f_mulder> hm I  have my umask set to 022 in a folder ... but when I create a new folder in that folder I don't get the write-premissions ... why is that??
[01:01] <UnholyTerror> it isn't css
[01:01] <valium> pc500 - i would try and resume the upgrade via ssh first.  As a general rule its stated that you shouldnt do major upgrades via ssh but this isnt always possible
[01:01] <Loshki> Guest50375: make a full backup before you start. Although it's supposed to all work together fine in theory, in practice it might be a huge mess...
[01:01] <dlbike76> Hello.  I'm considering upgrading from Lucid to Maverick using dist upgrade, but is there a way to revert if I encounter problems?
[01:01] <pc500> valium - I tried but apt-get has a lock file still present
[01:01] <Praxi> Ghost?
[01:01] <pc500> valium - I can remove it, but I do see the upgrade process running still in ps aux
[01:02] <pc500> (I know it's probably stuck on a plese set something screen)
[01:02] <Guest50375> Loshki: ok thank you
[01:02] <valium> pc500 - is it a zombie process
[01:02] <Guest50375> Loshki: i hope this works.. lol. i do have everything backed up on an external so, here it goes
[01:03] <marcuy> is it ok to install ubuntu 32bits on a 64 bits computer with 2GB RAM? or another question.. is it worth to install a 64 bits version on a PC with 2 GB RAM?
[01:03] <valium> pc500 - you can try and kill the process and then restart it from the beginning
[01:03] <Sanky> What's the quick way to move the toolbar icons (x v ^) to the right?  I know it has something to do with editing the registry.  I would google but I cannot word it well.
[01:03] <UnholyTerror> yes, no
[01:03] <valium> pc500 - do you have physical access to the machine
[01:04] <UnholyTerror> Sanky ???
[01:04] <pc500> valium - says no upgrade avialable
[01:04] <pc500> valium - No, but I do have VNC access to an IP kvm.
[01:04] <Sanky> UnholyTerror, this is more a gnome question - the toolbar icons like close, hide, expand :|
[01:04] <valium> pc500 - ok.  Is the server mission critical?
[01:04] <pc500> not really
[01:05] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> pc500: next time start the upgrade at least inside a screen so you can attach later if needed
[01:05] <RoughNeck> I am in Scurry TX, does anyone know of any one close to me that can come give me some help?
[01:05] <UnholyTerror> You want a toolbar on the side - drag it over there.
[01:05] <pc500> Cmdr_W_T_Riker - good idea :)
[01:05] <Sanky> UnholyTerror, I'm talking about the window.. ones.  ugh.  the one (currently) to the left of the window icon and title
[01:05] <UnholyTerror> closer than the internet?
[01:05] <valium> pc500 - yeah i agree with Cmdr
[01:06] <RoughNeck> Yes in person
[01:06] <valium> pc500 - try a reboot and see what comes out the other end
[01:06] <pc500> valium - But at this point I can reboot it I guess and try again, but it migh tbe fubarred
[01:06] <pc500> ok
[01:06] <RoughNeck> I am having issues and need some who can see what I am seeing
[01:06] <UnholyTerror> oh... I don't think you can do that.
[01:06] <Sanky> UnholyTerror, there was a way, because I did it before
[01:06] <valium> RoughNeck - what system do you have?
[01:06] <RoughNeck> Ubuntu 10.10
[01:07] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> ro
[01:07] <valium> RoughNeck - server or desktop
[01:07] <RoughNeck> desktop
[01:07] <UnholyTerror> oh, i understand now... yes you can... in gconf editor
[01:07] <[thor]> Sanky: window manager?
[01:07] <valium> you ccan install teamviewer and I can take a look if you like
[01:07] <UnholyTerror> but I don't know what it was.
[01:07] <Sanky> [02:07:18] <[thor]> Sanky: window manager? gnome
[01:07] <pc500> I love teamviewer
[01:07] <Sanky> uh derp
[01:08] <valium> pc500 - yeah i use it to support about 300 machines.  It rocks
[01:08] <pc500> I wish someone made a good open source tool that does the same thing
[01:08] <Sanky> But never mind that, I found it;  thanks
[01:08] <RoughNeck> Well there is a problem with that everything I need to do my system shuts off half way through
[01:08] <RoughNeck> so in person would be a lot easier
[01:08] <pc500> valium - It's really good for either having a machine always "phone home" -- or remote 1-of support
[01:08] <RoughNeck> I have a bad motherboard
[01:08] <mankash> my system freezes sometimes and then I haev to restart it
[01:08] <pc500> valium - Or maybe if they had a "host your own" solution I'd lik eit more
[01:08] <valium> RoughNeck - yeah sounds like motherboard, power supply or ram
[01:09] <schoppenhauer> hello. does the ubuntu alternate cd have support for lvm and encryption (like debian has)?
[01:09] <valium> pc500 - yeah that would be cooler
[01:09] <RoughNeck> no mother board, have already gotten that far on my own
[01:09] <rww> schoppenhauer: yes
[01:09] <Jordan_U> schoppenhauer: Yes.
[01:09] <spinningcompass> What might cause a laptop to require the shift key to be held down for Linux to function? (at boot-time, when upgrading packages,..)
[01:09] <valium> RoughNeck - boot your machine with a liive CD and see if you get the same error.  The run a memtest
[01:09] <RoughNeck> yes it does
[01:09] <Bilz> hello. trying to mount a .bin file in ubuntu. some research says use bchunk. However they all seem to talk abotu a .cue file and I don't have a .cue file. Is it possible to do it without a .cue file?
[01:09] <UnholyTerror> spinningcompass, ???
[01:10] <valium> spinningcompass - you might have a disk that is not mounting correctly
[01:10] <Bilz> sorry i should have sdaid convert
[01:10] <Bilz> to a .iso
[01:10] <UnholyTerror> Bilz, yes
[01:10] <spinningcompass> UnholyTerror: Bear in mind I've been using Linux for 13 years & I've never seen this. :( It boots and runs *if* the shift key is held down. It's not the OS. I *think* it's a hardware glitch. The laptop performs OK but, every so often, it freezes up until you tap the Shift key.
[01:10] <valium> righto, back to my question.  Anyone know of a live imaging solution for linux?
[01:10] <schoppenhauer> rww, Jordan_U thanks
[01:11] <ToStItOs> I have Lucid Lynx what could be some reasons why my usb flash drive will no longer accept files from my music folder using  'drag and drop"?
[01:11] <valium> spinningcompass - are you using grub2.  and is it only at boottime?
[01:11] <[thor]> Bilz: Brasero should burn .bin files just fine
[01:11] <UnholyTerror> weird! probably not an option to replace the keyboard, huh?
[01:11] <gusswak> is there a web interface solution to manage and multiple background processes running by multiple web sessions ?
[01:11] <spinningcompass> valium: No, it's at runtime also, but I know where you're going with that. :)
[01:11] <spinningcompass> UnholyTerror: That's a good idea. In the meantime, I've used chewing gum & scotch tape to hold the Shift key down.
[01:12] <UnholyTerror> webmin
[01:12] <scott_ino> valium, what are your needs for imaging
[01:12] <spinningcompass> UnholyTerror: It's alright because I use it as a server (don't laugh, it's a Toshiba NB2305 running as a server)
[01:12] <RedNifre> how to close gwibber? I'm still getting those "you are authorized by facebook" pop ups all the time and I have given up on solving this problem. >:(
[01:12] <pc500> valium - it told me some shit was curropted -- then I ran dpkg -a -something as it said and it seems ot be continuing where it left off
[01:12] <Bilz> [thor], i dont want to burn, i just want to convert to .iso so i can mount it
[01:12] <UnholyTerror> I wouldn't laugh... use what you got!
[01:12] <RoughNeck> Anyone know how to find Ubuntu groups in Dallas area?
[01:12] <h00k> !language | pc500
[01:12] <UnholyTerror> I use my desktop as a server.
[01:12] <spinningcompass> UnholyTerror: Amen. It was <$300 for a server. It's a bargain. All it needed was some chewing gum :)
[01:12] <valium> scott_ino - i need to create daily images of mission critical servers that are running mysql, apache and samba
[01:13] <UnholyTerror> Bilz, what have you tried?
[01:13] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> valium: ever consideted rsnapshot?
[01:13] <rww> RoughNeck: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TexasTeam and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DallasTeam
[01:13] <[thor]> Bilz: i use Furious ISO Mount for my .bin/iso/nrg mounting needs
[01:13] <Guest10739> so i removed myself from the sudoers file
[01:13] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> bah i hate this ipod keyboard
[01:13] <Bilz> UnholyTerror, I installed bchunk, and now I run bchunk image.bin image.iso, no luck, bchunk image.bin image.cue image.iso (even tho .cue doesnt exist) an dno luck
[01:13] <gdoteof_home> I know i can boot to single user mode
[01:13] <RoughNeck> ok will look now trhank you
[01:14] <valium> Cmdr_W_T_Riker - yeah i currently use a script that functions like rsnapshot but it wont grab mysql databases on the fly
[01:14] <UnholyTerror> have you tried simply renaming the file to .iso?
[01:14] <gdoteof_home> but, I think there is a part of having to mount the drive
[01:14] <[thor]> Bilz: https://launchpad.net/furiusisomount/
[01:14] <gdoteof_home> that i can't find a step by step guide on.  and i only hvae this machine here
[01:14] <valium> Cmdr_W_T_Riker - i currently perform a dump of the mysql databse then run rsnapshot
[01:15] <gdoteof_home> good news is I have a bowl full of pizza bites
[01:15] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> valium: ok, and dumping your DBs right before your rsync script is not goog enough?
[01:15] <scott_ino> valium, yeah doing that stuff on the fly is tricky... no really sure the best way t go about that as most of the stuff I know needs an unmounted partition
[01:15] <Praxi> mbroeker: you still here?
[01:15] <valium> scott_ino - yeah clonezilla and partimage will do it if unmounted.  Acronis has a product but its pretty pricey
[01:15] <UnholyTerror> Bilz, have you tried simply renaming the file to .iso?
[01:15] <ToStItOs> I need some assistance with my usb flash drive I am using Lucid Lynx
[01:16] <Bilz> UnholyTerror, i have not
[01:16] <scott_ino> valium, might have to go that route, is company paying for it ;)
[01:16] <dclake> join #omg!ubuntu!
[01:17] <UnholyTerror> try that, then simply mount /folder isofile.iso
[01:17] <valium> scott_ino - yeah some companies are larger than others though, and I have some charities too that I service.
[01:17] <Praxi> sorry still working on my apache problem, got stuck fixing the bosses mac.  Anyways, mbroeker suggested "you need a Alias /apps /apps/ <Directory /apps/> ... </Directory> entry in /etc/apache2/conf.d/apps.conf" was hoping to get a little help with what hes wanting me to do here

[01:18] <UnholyTerror> Praxi, did you try my fix?
[01:18] <valium> scott_ino - btfs will allow hot imaging but its still in beta i think
[01:18] <Praxi> chmod?
[01:18] <Praxi> my directory had the same permissions (755) as the directories that were working
[01:18] <Bilz> UnholyTerror, didnt work
[01:18] <Jordan_U> valium: One option is using LVM then snapshotting and imaging the snapshot.
[01:18] <Bilz> [thor], going to try ur idea
[01:19] <Praxi> unless I missed your suggestion UnholyTerror , scrolling back through now
[01:19] <Licuadora> When the instructions for compiling a program says: mkdir build, cd build, Does that means it is going to be a new folder outside /usr/share/ where all the programs usually are?
[01:19] <valium> Jordan_U - thats a good idea
[01:19] <UnholyTerror> what did you try, Bilz? errors?
[01:19] <Licuadora> Or do I have to type the path of /usr/shar/build?
[01:19] <valium> Jordan_U - to be honest i have stuggled with LVM a little
[01:20] <ToStItOs> I have Lucid Lynx what could be some reasons why my flash drive won't let me transfer files from my music folder to my flash drive?
[01:20] <valium> Jordan_U - i should really sit down and spend some time with it.
[01:20] <Mythmon> does anyone have a eeepc 1015PEM ?
[01:20] <Jordan_U> ToStItOs: What filesystem?
[01:20] <ToStItOs> Catfish
[01:20] <Licuadora> Better yet, how do I upgrade a program if it is not in the repository?
[01:21] <UnholyTerror> Bilz, what did you try, ? errors?
[01:21] <marcuy> I've lost the psk of my wireless connection and I can't access the router to see it, but I have it stored in my ubuntu 10.04, as it appears with wildcards, is it possible to decode in any way?
[01:21] <valium> thanks everyone!  much appreciated!  speak with you all again soon!
[01:21] <Licuadora> I mean, the program is in the repository, but there is a new version, and I want it!
[01:21] <ToStItOs> Jordan_U, Catfish
[01:21] <h00k> !botsnack | for valium
[01:22] <mbroeker> Praxi, you don't need the alias if /var/www/apps/*** exists
[01:22] <Bilz> renaming to .iso and mounting, unsuccessful i think.
[01:22] <Bilz> UnholyTerror,
[01:22] <Bilz> could be a dud file i guess
[01:22] <Praxi> it does, trying to figure out what I screwed up hehe
[01:22] <Praxi> the alias would be nice though to shorten up the URL though
[01:22] <ToStItOs> Jordan_U, Thunar file manager
[01:23] <St0n3-C0l> Lucuadora : Try updating your repos and see if the newer version is available or not, if still not - you may want to go and check out Ubuntu PPAs or other third-party sites which makes latest apps for ubuntu
[01:23] <Mythmon> does anyone know if ubuntu 10.10 is using the new broadcom open source drivers? Are they in the mainline kernel?
[01:23] <gdoteof_home> ok.  So if I removed myself from the sudoers file, and my boot doesn't stop at grub, am I simply SOL?
[01:24] <Jordan_U> Mythmon: No and no.
[01:24] <she_dyed> tiy neab gdoteof_home there is no countdown at grub even a few seconds
[01:24] <ToStItOs> Need assistance with my usb flash drive I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
[01:24] <Praxi> mbroeker and UnholyTerror heres the actual error in my apache error.log "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/apps/Snorby/public/"
[01:24] <zealiod> I am trying to ping a device behind a bridge I have defined on the network - why can't i do this?
[01:24] <gdoteof_home> she_dyed: no it doesn't even show
[01:24] <zealiod> I receive ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
[01:24] <Mythmon> gdoteof_home: you could use a live disk/usb and go in a change the sudoers file by hand, assuming you dont have it encrypted.
[01:25] <Jordan_U> gdoteof_home: Hold shift during boot.
[01:25] <gdoteof_home> i don't.  that makes sense.  i don't have one though but can get one tomorrow
[01:25] <gdoteof_home> Jordan_U: thanks, trying
[01:25] <UnholyTerror> Bilz, error?
[01:26] <Nach0z> hey ihow  can I tell ubuntu to list what's listening on what ports from Terminal?
[01:26] <Mythmon> i have a problem where my wireless will disconnect from any network (known working) after about a minute. it worked a few days ago.
[01:27] <UnholyTerror> Praxi, so your just going to that directory in the browser and that's the error?
[01:27] <Praxi> ya
[01:27] <Mythmon> i am using a broadcom BCM4313
[01:28] <Praxi> trying to pastiey my apache2.conf file, assume I dorked something up in there
[01:28] <wjdenny> having issues with webcam being nothing but bright green.. has anyone found a solution besides setting LD_PRELOAD (that didnt work for me)
[01:28] <ToStItOs> My flash drive will not let me drag and drop files from music folder any solutions on solving this? I have Lucid lynx
[01:28] <UnholyTerror> permissions probably.
[01:29] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Nach0z: netstat -ntlp
[01:29] <Ryaga> Hi guys, is there a way to lower a single application's volume?
[01:29] <UnholyTerror> Praxi, do you have an index.html (.php) file in there?
[01:29] <Jordan_U> ToStItOs: In thunar, open the the USB drive and right click within the directory, then select "properties". At the bottom right there is an area labeled "Filesystem type:", what does it say is the filesystem type? Or, pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" in a terminal.
[01:30] <f_mulder> someone in here using rtorrent? I would need some help with a on_finished function...?
[01:30] <Jordan_U> Ryaga: Yes, in System > Preferences > Sound.
[01:30] <EeveeTrainer> hey how do you run a process in the background? im using warty warhog
[01:30] <cecilia> hello. iv installed ubuntu netbook on my philco that came with mandriva
[01:30] <Viper550> EeveeTrainer, why are you using warty
[01:30] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> EeveeTrainer: screen, nohup or job control in bash
[01:31] <cecilia> its very nice, but i couldnt find how to set the touchpado to work scrolling
[01:31] <Praxi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/521098/  checking if I do
[01:31] <cecilia> it would be awesome if i could use double finger
[01:31] <Ryaga> There should be a 'link' to that in the sound dock thingy really.
[01:31] <UnholyTerror> Praxi, ok, hold...
[01:31] <Praxi> Sorry, I just don't know enough about this :(
[01:31] <Flooby27> I'd like to fuck the Glade bitch
[01:32] <Jordan_U> EeveeTrainer: Warty warthog has not been supported for years and is completely insecure. Install a supported version of Ubuntu, and don't connect the current Warty machine to the internet.

[01:33] <Licuadora> When the instructions for compiling a program says: mkdir build, cd build, Does that means it is going to be a new folder outside /usr/share/ where all the programs usually are?
[01:33] <EeveeTrainer> is jaunty jackalope supported?
[01:33] <Diamondcite> Licuadora: It just looks like it's saying to make a dir called "build" and change into it.. just for compiling.
[01:33] <Licuadora> Should I set the path like this:  mkdir/usr/share/build?
[01:33] <administracao_> boa noite!
[01:34] <UnholyTerror> Praxi, and I know nothing about rails... but sounds like apache is trying to serve up a directory index and is not able to because of a config error or permissions.
[01:34] <Diamondcite> Licuadora: Where the program will be in the end after installation is different.
[01:34] <r00tsh3ll> 唉
[01:34] <Jordan_U> Licuadora: No.
[01:34] <EeveeTrainer> !cn | r00tsh3ll
[01:34] <r00tsh3ll> 恩
[01:34] <Praxi> ya, I assume its not a problem with Rails, because Rails throws its own error
[01:34] <r00tsh3ll> yes
[01:34] <Licuadora> Diamondicite: Ok, so the program will be shown in Aplications<soundvideo<
[01:34] <Jordan_U> r00tsh3ll: What are you trying to install?
[01:35] <Praxi> gotta be something I dorked up in those directives
[01:35] <Praxi> I copied someone elses from a tutorial
[01:35] <Jordan_U> Licuadora: Probably not, since you're installing from source (which is not recommended).
[01:35] <Diamondcite> Licuadora: Not what I meant.. I'm assuming you are trying to compile a program which will eventually involve the words "make" and "make install"
[01:35] <Licuadora> Jordan_U: So where can I find the program after being installed?
[01:36] <Licuadora> Diamondcite, YES
[01:36] <Diamondcite> Licuadora: Those programs will install else where in the system depending on what that program is.. usualy /usr/bin or /usr/loca/bin

[01:55] <h00k> EeveeTrainer: that may help you install Ubuntu
[01:55] <yxz97> and in the web page of adobe in firefox I get an erro which says ... apt is not associated protocol !!!
[01:55] <yxz97> wtf!
[01:55] <Praxi> Diamondcite: was a joke on this slashdot story http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/10/24/1754216/Chatbot-Suzette-Wins-20th-Annual-Loebner-Prize-Fools-One-Judge
[01:56] <cdubya> is there a script available that can traverse a folder structure, locate and convert any movie files to another format?
[01:57] <EeveeTrainer> is ubuntu a linux ?
[01:57] <hunab> lol
[01:57] <hunab> think before you ask..
[01:57] <TeruFSX> EeveeTrainer yes
[01:57] <MTec007> JoeMaverickSett: that link is not working, just looking for a fix
[01:57] <cecilia> hello
[01:57] <cecilia> hello. iv installed ubuntu netbook on my philco that came with mandriva
[01:57] <Daniel1> x|
[01:57] <h00k> ubottu: ubuntu | EeveeTrainer
[01:58] <ylmfosu> morning
[01:58] <EeveeTrainer> wait is ubuntu a linux or a unix
[01:58] <cecilia> its very nice, but i couldnt find how to set the touchpad to work scrolling
[01:58] <JoeMaverickSett> EeveeTrainer: please read this; http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu
[01:58] <cecilia> it would be awesome if i could use double finger
[01:58] <Diamondcite> Unix doesn't have THIS many versions
[01:58] <hunab> linux is a familymember of unix
[01:58] <hunab> and is prefferable..
[01:59] <Praxi> just by the fact you can type unix it seems like you should know :)
[01:59] <JoeMaverickSett> MTec007: from the look of the post, there won't be any fix for now. the developer is trying to negotiate the API calls between FB and gwibber. that's all i understand.
[02:00] <she_dyed> cecilia any other distros you've tried?
[02:00] <hunab> try pentoo
[02:00] <yxz97> wtf
[02:00] <cecilia> many
[02:00] <servidor> tu-br/j #ubunu
[02:00] <h00k> Please discuss other distros elsewhere, this channel is for Ubuntu support questions
[02:00] <easy_enemy_> hello
[02:01] <she_dyed> cecilia: any of them did the scroll you mentioned?
[02:01] <cecilia> yes. the philosofy never ends
[02:01] <MTec007> JoeMaverickSett: thats funny. did they even test it before adding it to ubuntu
[02:01] <cecilia> yes she_dyed my hp notebook with ubuntu 10.04 does that
[02:01] <cecilia> cant remember wich app my son installed
[02:01] <easy_enemy_> my windows xp wont boot on my pc anymore what should I do?
[02:01] <freygrimrod> install *nix of course ;-P
[02:01] <hunab> you can visit distrowatch website but thy dont list all
[02:02] <JoeMaverickSett> MTec007: as i'm not the developer, i could not tell you. :)
[02:02] <MTec007> JoeMaverickSett: i know, it was just a statement
[02:02] <h00k> easy_enemy_: is it a Windows related problem?
[02:03] <h00k> easy_enemy_: or a Grub related problem?
[02:03] <she_dyed> cecilia: ah it is possible that /etc/X11/xorg.conf had the settings just right in 10.04
[02:04] <Praxi> anyone familiar with ntop?
[02:04]  * freygrimrod serves up some cheese to go with the following whine* Am I the only one who has found Ubuntu to be complete worthless crap ever since they went ext4 never gotten it to function right under a 64bit environment figured I'd tryyyyy 10.10.... alas... I may give up forever
[02:04] <Praxi> getting an error "Please enable make sure that the ntop html/ directory is properly installed" on it now =/
[02:04] <hunab> praxi.. your funny
[02:04] <r00tsh3ll> I want to know a set of custom-made ubuntu can penetrate the network test platform
[02:04] <hunab> try htop ?
[02:04] <Praxi> I try hunab
[02:05] <Praxi> is that a newer version of ntop? should I go start googling it?
[02:05] <she_dyed> cecilia: maybe not an app but correct settings for a touchapd
[02:05] <hunab> i will never recommend google anymore
[02:05] <Praxi> lol how come hunab?
[02:06] <hunab> to nosy
[02:06] <Praxi> hmmm htop is a process viewer, thats not what I need :)
[02:06] <freygrimrod> agreed but have yet to find great alternatives
[02:06] <freygrimrod> icerocket for blogs/twitter is good but other than that
[02:06] <hunab> try watch netstat -tnlanp
[02:06] <cristopher> help
[02:07] <easy_enemy> i just decided to remove ubuntu... i dont know what to do
[02:07] <Praxi> thats something I can use to monitor traffic and then dump it on a webpage for management to look at?
[02:07] <hunab> started with altavista 15 years ago, their nice
[02:08] <yxz97> I have a problem with apt-get
[02:08] <Praxi> easy_enemy: so you had a dual boot, removed linux, and now xp won't boot? if so boot of a windows disc, goto console and do a fdisk /mbr
[02:08] <yxz97> cannot find the last version of flash player
[02:08] <yxz97> any idea how to clean this?
[02:08] <Diamondcite> Praxi: iftop is live stats... not dumpable.. what type of traffic? Inside going out in bytes? Or where everyone is going?
[02:08] <mankash> how to fix wifi driver fro my card
[02:09] <Praxi> where and how much, got MRTG running, it gives me a good look at overall useage, but now when its busy, I need to be able to see why its busy
[02:09] <easy_enemy> the real question is even thou i press f12 to boot a specific device or del for setup its not working it goes directly to grub so how should i boot my windows xp back?
[02:09] <compaq> I can play dvd
[02:10] <mankash> my system gets hung if I try to copy big file through heavy traffic through that wifi card
[02:10] <Praxi> easy_enemy: fdisk /mbr
[02:10] <compaq> sorry, I mean I can't play dvd, and I did the libdvdread4 instructions to run the sh script, and then rebooted, but still when I play dvd, it says cant read resource
[02:10] <Praxi> assuming you want to lose grub, and just use the windows default
[02:10] <easy_enemy> yes
[02:10] <EeveeTrainer> hi what is the difference between pico and nano
[02:11] <easy_enemy> i want to install my windows xp back to my pc
[02:11] <IdleOne> !fixmbr | easy_enemy
[02:11] <IdleOne> hmm sorry wrong factoid
[02:11] <Praxi> haha thanks IdleOne was just heading there :)
[02:11] <hunab> easier is to first install windows and then your linux distro
[02:11] <compaq> easy_enemy, its easy, you pop in the cd, and then enter this command: fixmbr
[02:11] <IdleOne> easy_enemy: you can ask in ##windows about restoring the windows boot loader
[02:12] <Praxi> I just answered that! :)
[02:13] <compaq> don't worry, easy_enemy will be back eventually, they all will, lol, it took me a couple tries before I switched to Linux and totally gave up on windows
[02:13] <hunab> only the gaming part... :
[02:13] <Praxi> I can't, too much I can't do in linux as well as you can in the windows part =/
[02:13] <andai> Me and a friend have been using the same account for a while, but we'd like to split it into two. Can I just copy the hidden directories of the programs i use into my new homefolder?
[02:13] <compaq> anyone can help me get dvd working?  it says cant read resource, and I installed libdvdread4 and ran the sh
[02:13] <easy_enemy> w8 so i insert windows xp go to terminal and enter fixmbr?
[02:14] <compaq> !dvd
[02:14] <Praxi> tried it at work, it was a pita, couldn't manage all my windows servers, open office wasn't compatible enough, yada yada
[02:14] <compaq> easy_enemy, yeah, start it, select fix system or something, and then prompt eventually comes, there just enter fixmbr
[02:15] <Praxi> easy_enemy: fdisk /mbr is the windows way of rebuilding its bootloader, IdleOne  linked you how to fix grub itself
[02:15] <BlueSherpa> if I'm behind a firewall that blocks port 22 (ssh) on a remote server, is there a way to use port forwarding to create a work around?
[02:16] <hunab> A good alternative is to make a Gparted usb stick..
[02:16] <Diamondcite> Praxi: Sounds like a typical 'excuse' I would like to hear further details of your issues ^_^
[02:16] <IdleOne> easy_enemy: what you need to do is type /join ##windows and ask them how to fix the Windows boot loader.
[02:16] <hunab> there is a Gparted distro which will fit nicely on an usb stick
[02:16] <Praxi> ok, show me a good way to manage 200+ windows servers on ubuntu :)
[02:17] <Praxi> windows world I can use visionap or royal TS and manage all my servers from one window.
[02:17] <compaq> Praxi, go to windows channel
[02:17] <Praxi> lol what for
[02:18] <Praxi> he just asked why I can't use a linux distro as my main at work, I told him why :)
[02:18] <compaq> ok, rant away, I am not moderator, its not busy anyway, but I am trying to get Linux help here
[02:18] <IdleOne> no ranting please and stay on topic
[02:19] <Diamondcite> Praxi: I do use Linux as my main distro as work.. Only things that MUST use windows are done in a VM(such as activeX or windows specific vpns..)
[02:20] <Praxi> I tried vmware and the sun product (its name escapes me atm), they have issues if you RDP through them.
[02:20] <compaq> My Linux box won't play dvd, I've been running Ubuntu for couple years and never noticed, cause I usually play dvd's on my debian desktop, but just now I tried to play on my ubuntu laptop, and it says cant read resource, and I followed the instructions to install restricted-extras, but it still doesn't work
[02:20] <Diamondcite> Praxi: May I PM?
[02:20] <Praxi> tried VLC Player maybe compaq ?
[02:21] <Praxi> ya of course diamond
[02:21] <compaq> Praxi, yep
[02:21] <Praxi> for the fun of it have you tried a different physical dvd drive?
[02:21] <Praxi> oh wait this was a laptop wasn't it, hard to get extras
[02:21] <TeruFSX> compaq https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[02:21] <compaq> Praxi, nevermind you, but the drive is working
[02:22] <compaq> TeruFSX, I did that stuff, and still
[02:22] <hunab> is it a burned dvd?
[02:23] <compaq> hunab, no, its original
[02:23] <hunab> ok
[02:26] <TeruFSX> hmm I'll try to play a DVD soon; see what happens
[02:28] <Praxi> compaq: I have a lot of experience with wierd laser issues on drives.  If you think you did all the software parts correctly, that COULD leave a minor issue with the drive.  I've had plenty of drives that would read a data CD, audio CD, or data DVD, but not a movie.  Doesn't mean its your issue, but its an amazingly easy step to try on a PC :)
[02:28] <Diamondcite> Praxi: Maybe he is just missing something like dvd decryption?
[02:28] <snakesqzns> anyone else running compiz with ATI have really bad vsync issues when moving wobbly windows around?
[02:29] <Praxi> could be, but he sounded pretty confident that he did everything right, from VLC player and the Tutorials people linked for him
[02:29] <compaq> Praxi, nevermind you, like I said before
[02:29] <compaq> Praxi, nevermind you, like I said before
[02:29] <UnholyTerror> Praxi, http://www.nagios.org/
[02:29] <Praxi> ya got nagios too, like that one :)
[02:29] <andril> hello all
[02:29] <Praxi> little harder to configure though, and doesn't seem to do as much for the actual useage
[02:30] <andril> anyone still using 10.04?
[02:30] <Jinxed--> I'm trying to figure out how to use socat to connect my terminal to a serial port so that I could type input the serial port (as if you were connected with putty) and then get the response
[02:30] <cdubya> andril, sure
[02:30] <Jinxed--> I was starting with someting like this: socat READLINE,history=$HOME/.cmd_history /dev/ttyS0,raw,echo=0,crnl
[02:30] <andril> cdubya, good me too :)
[02:31] <birdy29> One ? Can you upgrade while being on VNC ? Said I cannot do it over port 22?
[02:32] <Plutonian17> does someone know a simple way to browse windows shares from Unity?
[02:32] <Diamondcite> birdy29: upgrade which?
[02:32] <Diamondcite> birdy29: Upgrades packages or whole distros?
[02:33] <birdy29> whole thing.
[02:33] <Diamondcite> birdy29: You really can't get physical access to the machine?
[02:33] <birdy29> Nope.
[02:33] <birdy29> VM in chicago.
[02:34] <Praxi> can't get into the host birdy29 ?
[02:34] <Diamondcite> birdy29: Ouch..  Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FrontStruct.
[02:34] <Diamondcite> Praxi: Seems the box in question is in an inaccessible location by physical means.
[02:35] <UnholyTerror> Oblat, what program?
[02:35] <Sean93> i get this error after trying to configure ushare "Errors were encountered while processing: ushare" and "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[02:35] <Praxi> ya, if he can't upgrade the guest, maybe he can access the host, and control it locally
[02:36] <compaq> Sean93, looks like you have synaptic open or something similar
[02:36] <Diamondcite> Praxi: It might be a co-located server more than a VM?
[02:36] <h00k> !language | poincare101
[02:36] <IdleOne> !language | poincare101
[02:36] <Sean93> compaq: i dont
[02:36] <UnholyTerror> poincare101, ???
[02:36] <Haptic> I need to install software on my computer to run my printer. How can I install this software (its from a disk) on Ubuntu?
[02:36] <Oblat> UnholyTerror, it's a sh script
[02:36] <Praxi> ya could be Diamondcite
[02:36] <compaq> Sean93, oh, nevermind then, maybe you have mixed up distro versions
[02:36] <Diamondcite> Haptic: The CD has linux drivers?
[02:37] <UnholyTerror> looks like some variables are not set to what they should be.
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> Haptic:  You are surs the disk actually has lnux software? that would be odd..
[02:37] <Sean93> im on 10.10
[02:37] <xangua> !printer
[02:37] <xangua> Haptic: notmally you just conect a printer and use it inmediatly; check if it's supported
[02:37] <Diamondcite> Haptic: Have you tried to see if Ubuntu already supports the printer? Also what might that printer be?
[02:37] <DarkMasterHalo>
[02:37] <Haptic> Its a Kodak wireless printer
[02:37] <Oblat> UnholyTerror, the script works on another computer so it can't be the script
[02:37] <Sean93> how do i backup a file using terminal?
[02:37] <UnholyTerror> if only it worked that way...
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> Sean93:  cp foo foo.backup
[02:39] <Birdy29x> Okay, I am back now. I was the one talking about upgrading the distro over SSH
[02:39] <Birdy29x> Mind you, it's a VPS, with DMEhosting, if you've ever heard of them.
[02:39] <UnholyTerror> poincare101, did you get your grub thing sorted?
[02:39] <Diamondcite> Haptic: Incomplete information.. Linux support could not be verrified. please provide the full model name.
[02:40] <Diamondcite> Dr_Willis: Won't "cp -a foo foo.backup" be better since it seems timestamps and users?
[02:40] <Haptic> Kodak ESP Office 6150
[02:40] <birdy29> Anyone know?
[02:40] <lvella> a patch was just submitted in the git master of radeon Xorg driver, and I need it
[02:41] <Diamondcite> birdy29: I never tried that.. so I cannot answer you..
[02:41] <lvella> what is the best way of doing so without screwing my system?
[02:41] <Oblat> UnholyTerror, so what is the issue and how do I fix it?
[02:41] <birdy29> Well, I saw there is step by step for command line upgrade. However, it will upgrade that way but some things do not get configured.
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> Diamondcite:  ive rarely needed that
[02:42] <jcastro> Hi, I am answering questions about unity: http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1418582606/cutting-through-the-noise-about-unity
[02:43] <black> birdy29: whats the problem ??
[02:43] <naiteon> hey guys, I removed ALL the operating systems from my laptop but grub is somehow still on my laptop and now I cant install any OS, nor the LiveCD runs!!
[02:43] <jcastro> if people come in asking about unity please point them there and we will help answer questions
[02:43] <compaq> Actually, I used to play dvd's, I think it is from doing the system updates which constantly pop up, that my dvd playing is broken
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> naiteon:  you can use 'dd' to zero the HD and remove grub. (you will need to repartition the HD) but Grub should not be preventing OS's from installing.. and definatly NOT prevent the cd's from booting.
[02:44] <kodemage> I have a question about the
[02:44] <kodemage> oops
[02:44] <kodemage> Let me start over. I have a question about the UI on my ubuntu 10.10 installation with UNR installed, should I ask my question here?
[02:44] <naiteon> Dr_Willis: Well i change boot order, and it just ignores any bootable cd, and says : unknown filesystem grub rescue>
[02:45] <black> yes, nothing wrong kodeimage
[02:45] <naiteon> ok I will try to type dd
[02:45] <UnholyTerror> http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/?showfeed=tracker
[02:45] <UnholyTerror> it's a start
[02:45] <naiteon> Dr_Willis: dd unknown command
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> naiteon:  sounds luike the cd's you are booting from are bad. or other issue.
[02:46] <naiteon> nope, just used them.
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> naiteon:  dd is a bash command - you may be at the grub shell.
[02:46] <kodemage> I want to change the bar at the top, remove the username and the mail icon, I don't use evolution and there's only ever one user automatically logged on. I can't right click the panel, or more exactly when I do nothing happens. How do I customize the top bar in the UI?
[02:46] <Diamondcite> Haptic: You might need to install the c2esp driver to get this printer working at all   http://cupsdriverkodak.sourceforge.net/
[02:46] <naiteon> Dr_Willis: i have no operating system, and grub rescue is on and not letting me to do anything!
[02:46] <birdy29> Yes -- GOOD question, how can you get rid of those links in the bar?
[02:47] <cdubya> how can I loop through a directory in bash checking for particular file types and then take any matches and convert them with ffmpeg?
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> naiteon:  if you are booting from the CD. Grub wouldent matter.
[02:47] <kodemage> thanks, under previous iterations you could right click the panel and click remove from panel
[02:47] <birdy29> Yeah, it's not working that way now.
[02:47] <birdy29> :(
[02:47] <birdy29> I can't figure it out either.
[02:48] <kodemage> I can't find a configuration tool in the applications, google all references previous iterations
[02:48] <Haptic> how exactly do I install the driver?
[02:48] <naiteon> Dr_Willis: it never happened to me before, it simply ignores the live cd, windows 7 installation cd. Weird
[02:48] <trism> kodemage: the mail icon is indicator-messages, so you can uninstall that to remove the icon (otherwise you would lose your volume applet if you remove it from the panel), the user name applet is indicator-applet-session, which you should be able to right-click and remove (I don't know why you can't)
[02:49] <naiteon> what can i do from this grub rescue> to be able to launch my cds? my bios is set properly too
[02:49] <kodemage> where do I remove these from? sudo apt-get remove [...]?
[02:49] <Diamondcite> Haptic: I would answer.. but I'm too sleepy.. please ask the question, "How do I install the c2esp driver from source?"
[02:49] <Diamondcite> Zzz
[02:49] <trism> kodemage: although that will remove the suspend/log out/shutdown applet, but they will be moved to the System menu
[02:49] <ilyekkakai> I want to move my boot partition and grub to a new partition on a different disk. How do I do this?
[02:49] <trism> kodemage: yes, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages;
[02:49] <Plutonian17> jcastro : I will ask you in the link.
[02:50] <Benkinooby> i am watching a video on youtube and analyze the traffic with wireshark. i always thought movies and stuff will be streamed with udp, but i always get tcp packages
[02:50] <Haptic> How do I install the c2esp driver from source?
[02:50] <UnholyTerror> naiteon, you need to know what the drive designation of the cd player first.
[02:50] <Wavesonics> was the webcam-server package remove from the official repos?
[02:50] <Benkinooby> i am watching a video on youtube and analyze the traffic with wireshark. i always thought movies and stuff will be streamed with udp, but i always get tcp packages. why is that?
[02:50] <tim_> I am trying to set up ushare to stream music to my xbox. should I set the USHARE_IFACE perameter to the wireless device. That is my assumption
[02:50] <birdy29> @ trism doing that remove for those bars, would you need to restart?
[02:50] <kodemage> now, will this remove all the indicators? for wifi, bluetooth, dropbox, volume, evolution, time, etc. ?
[02:50] <naiteon> UnholyTerror: yeah but how? i can only use ls from that grub rescue, and it shows me 5 partitions including the (hd0)
[02:51] <UnholyTerror> naiteon, what does BIOS say it is?
[02:51] <trism> birdy29: you might not need to, at most you'd need to log out then back in
[02:51] <birdy29> okay.
[02:51] <kodemage> I want to leave a couple indicators, BT, Wifi, etc...
[02:51] <trism> kodemage: no, indicator-messages is only the mail icon, that has evolution/gwibber/pidgin/liferea, etc
[02:51] <kodemage> kk, brb trying
[02:52] <naiteon> UnholyTerror: Let me check that out, not sure if it says anything about it you mean the driver name or what?
[02:52] <UnholyTerror> instead of HD0...
[02:52] <birdy29> trism: that worked. thank you! =D
[02:53] <xangua> kodemage: or you could just remove indicator from the panel and add the notification area
[02:53] <phoenixsampras> help
[02:53] <UnholyTerror> naiteon,
[02:53] <kodemage> xan how do I do that?
[02:53] <UnholyTerror> naiteon,
[02:53] <kodemage> that is my original question
[02:53] <xangua> right clic> remove
[02:53] <kodemage> nope
[02:53] <UnholyTerror> naiteon, hold up
[02:53] <kodemage> does nothing
[02:53] <naiteon> UnholyTerror:  oh
[02:53] <phoenixsampras> how can I use my 3g modem huawei with ubuntu?
[02:53] <naiteon> UnholyTerror: man thank you so much
[02:53] <naiteon> UnholyTerror: I saw what I was doing wrong!
[02:53] <naiteon> :D
[02:53]  * naiteon is ashamed
[02:53] <kodemage> might be a UNR thing, but I think it's a 10.10 thing
[02:54] <birdy29> What would cause this error.
[02:54] <UnholyTerror> naiteon, you have the grub prompt up on the machine in question?
[02:54] <birdy29> Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and
[02:54] <birdy29> include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
[02:54] <birdy29> E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[02:54] <birdy29> It went onto upgrade, then gave me this error message:

[02:54] <naiteon> UnholyTerror: yes but now it is working thank you for your patience and attention, it was my bios... it somehow changed the boot order again...
[02:54] <kodemage> xangua: reading
[02:54] <BuenGenio> apparently "webmin" has been obsoleted in Ubuntu
[02:55] <birdy29> This error happens upon upgrading 10.4 to 10.10
[02:55] <birdy29> E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[02:55] <BuenGenio> are there any other tools that replace it ?
[02:55] <naiteon> i feel like those lames now haha
[02:55] <phoenixsampras> how to setup nvidia drivers?
[02:55] <UnholyTerror> yes, but to give you some info... grub is very powerful.
[02:55] <Therstrium> is there an apt-get equivalent of the a "yum provides" command?
[02:55] <Wavesonics> argggggg webcam-server package was removed for 10.10?!
[02:56] <naiteon> UnholyTerror: Really? I see lots of nice enhancement in this grub2 :) I was just scared it would not let me have my laptop again working properly!
[02:56] <BuenGenio> Therstrium, apt-file search <pattern>
[02:56] <Therstrium> BuenGenio: thanks!
[02:56] <BuenGenio> Therstrium, but you might have to 'apt-get install apt-file' first
[02:57] <UnholyTerror> sure it will
[02:57] <kodemage> ok, the apt-get remove commands worked well enough, I'll read about unlocking the notification area later, thanks all
[02:57] <UnholyTerror> how many OS's you have there?
[02:57] <BuenGenio> phoenixsampras, there is a graphical tool for installing Hardware Drivers in System->Administration I believe
[02:57] <kodemage> no, wait, the user indicator is still there and I removed indicator-applet-session
[02:58] <ironsight> I have an asus g60vx laptop, and my slash button puts out <. It is a USA laptop, set to USA keymap. The only layout I could find that made it correct was a UK layout, but more of the shift+1/2/3/4/etc keys were wrong. Anyone had this issue?
[02:58] <ironsight> (backslash button that is)
[02:58] <ironsight> (one above enter)
[02:58] <Wavesonics> can i grab the 10.04 repos so I can get a package?
[02:58] <BuenGenio> so no Webmin alternatives?
[02:58] <ironsight_> did anyone get my last 3 things I said in here (about a minute ago)
[02:59] <UnholyTerror> so redo the keyboard
[02:59] <Sir_Leto> Does anyone have any idea why deluge barely seeds?
[03:00] <IronSight> UnholyTerror, checking out all the buttons, nothing is a backslash
[03:00] <UnholyTerror> so redo the keyboard
[03:00] <Sir_Leto> *nevermind
[03:00] <snakesqzns> AH it's doing it again!  My system just gets really sluggish for no apparent reason.  CPU usage is at 2% but it's acting like it's at 100%.  Even typing is impacted.  Like if I hold down 'X', rather than smoothly typing a series of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, it types in bursts (XXXXXX, pause, XXXXXXXXX, pause, XXXXXX)
[03:00] <IronSight> UnholyTerror, ... can you be more specific?
[03:00] <snakesqzns> disks don't appear active, gigs of free memory,
[03:01] <Wavesonics> is there some package BESIDES webcam-server in 10.10? Or did they just remove that for fun
[03:01] <UnholyTerror> System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layout tab
[03:01] <IronSight> UnholyTerror, that's the thing, no USA layout gives me that key
[03:02] <UnholyTerror> what about INT
[03:02] <IronSight> I've tested all the english sets
[03:02] <IronSight> same deal
[03:02] <UnholyTerror> hmmm.
[03:02] <feen> Hi. I was looking for screensavers and I downloaded some .tar.gz files. But as I drag and drop them to the screensavers list, it says they weren't properly recognized as wallpapers. Is there any other model for screensavers? If so, where can I find some?
[03:02] <IronSight> lemme try again, maybe I missed some international

[03:08] <birdy29> Has anyone upgrade 10.04 LTS to 10.0 -- While having an account on a VPS?
[03:09] <Diamondcite> cabble: which parts of it?
[03:09] <cabble> ?
[03:09] <kodemage> what kind of trouble?
[03:09] <DragonKeeper> Diamondcite normally when its a terminal being overlapped
[03:09] <Diamondcite> Which hardware are you trying to activate?
[03:09] <UnholyTerror> I show an ASUS/ASUS laptop entry here.
[03:09] <birdy29> Were you talking to me?
[03:09] <IronSight> UnholyTerror, yep, tried it
[03:10] <IronSight> under keyboard model
[03:10] <IronSight> same thing happens
[03:10] <UnholyTerror> generic?
[03:10] <IronSight> tried it aswell
[03:10] <UnholyTerror> tried generics?
[03:10] <Diamondcite> DragonKeeper: I can minimize and un-minimize terminals fine...
[03:10] <kodemage> found it, indicator-me
[03:10] <cabble> i am trying activate a graphic driver
[03:11] <IronSight> going through some generics right now

[03:11] <charlesno> ubuntu no longer recognizes my mp3 player (MSC mode), anyone know why?
[03:11] <ilyekkakai> I have 2 hard disks in this laptop. Ubuntu and all my files are installed on the 2nd drive. Vista is installed on the 1st drive which is also the boot drive. I want to remove Vista and reformat the 1st drive as ext4 and make the 2nd drive the boot drive. I used gparted to remove all the partitions on the 1st drive and created a new partition ext4 on it. Now how do I get the 2nd drive to be the boot drive?
[03:12] <DragonKeeper> Dimondcite  a open window needs to be pulled down so its covered by the taskbar     then try click to unminimize a different app thats within the windows ( if u understand that)
[03:12] <kodemage> ilyekkakai: use gparted to flag it as bootable
[03:12] <kodemage> ilyekkakai: then adjust your bios
[03:13] <Diamondcite> DragonKeeper: No issues.. mind you... I can't move the title bar INTO the bottom part.
[03:13] <kodemage> ilyekkakai: ok, you may need to install grub too... god I'm probably not supposed to be here talking...
[03:13] <DragonKeeper> Dimondcite  maybe its just me then :S
[03:14] <ColinM> Hello, world.
[03:14] <IronSight> UnholyTerror, looks like this will solve my issues: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/405784-g51-linux-backslash-pipe-key-remapping.html
[03:14] <Diamondcite> DragonKeeper: Think right clicking can save you?

[03:14] <IronSight> UnholyTerror, thanks for the help
[03:14] <charlesno> Anyone have any clue as to why a USB device isn't being detected
[03:15] <Diamondcite> charlesno: ALL USB or just some?
[03:15] <charlesno> Just 1
[03:15] <charlesno> An mp3 player,MSC/USB mode
[03:15] <Diamondcite> charlesno: Would you can to be more specific? Do you know if it's supposed to work in Linux?
[03:15] <UnholyTerror> cool
[03:15] <akashmanohar> I'm trying sudo chmod on a directory and it's giving me a "operations not permitted" error
[03:15] <Ruudjah> Hi all, just switched to linux from windows, trying to install OneNote using Wine, could not execute .exe installer on mounted 2nd HDD, as solution edited /etc/fstab (noexec --> exec). This worked. But: HDD2 still is not letting me execute the .exe. Do I need to restart something in order to make it work
[03:16] <charlesno> Diamondcite: I'm on 9.10, It has worked for 6 months just fine. But today it hasn't been working. I plug it in and nothing is detected.
[03:16] <Ruudjah> ie after editing /etc/fstab, do i need to restart a service (daemon?)
[03:16] <DragonKeeper> Dimondcite  nah its like it crashes the taskbar it covers
[03:16] <rammyIRC> i want to install Android SDK
[03:17] <zipp0> hello everyone
[03:17] <rammyIRC> its failing when i install Eclipse Plugin ADT
[03:17] <zipp0> when i replied an email, i see a blue icon in font of email which replied
[03:17] <zipp0> but some email not have that blue icon
[03:18] <zipp0> could anyone tell me why? and how can i fix? plz
[03:18] <Diamondcite> charlesno: Things have changed... but I really can't seem to answer you question at the moment.. does it work on another box?
[03:18] <t3hp00ky> Anyone know if there is  a web-based virtualization project?
[03:18] <t3hp00ky> like PHP based
[03:18] <Ruudjah> there is a webbased virt project
[03:18]  * zipp0 is using thunderbird
[03:18] <Ruudjah> I think the frontend uses a html5 VNC client
[03:18] <cabble> i am trying activate a graphic driver
[03:18] <t3hp00ky> hum
[03:18] <charlesno> Diamondcite: I don't have another computer to test it on. But the device itself is functional. Also, yesterday I plugged it in and after an hour Ubuntu decided to recognize it.
[03:19] <Draqul> cabble: You know the card type?
[03:19] <t3hp00ky> I was wondering because I'd like to load a web-based linux but I cannot find any source on web-based virtualization
[03:19] <Ruudjah> cant remember the name
[03:19] <t3hp00ky> bleh
[03:19] <Ruudjah> iirc
[03:20] <Ruudjah> its a cloud based service
[03:20] <Diamondcite> charlesno: Maybe the USB port is acting up?
[03:20] <Ruudjah> make account, create box, then view/login using a browser
[03:20] <cabble> ati/amd
[03:21] <Draqul> cabble: lspci | grep -i video
[03:21] <t3hp00ky> Is it open sourced ?
[03:21] <charlesno> Diamondcite: I've tried different ports. They are not the problem. But I think I may have had some kernel updates yesterday. I wonder if that is a possibility
[03:21] <t3hp00ky> and is code avalible?
[03:21] <cabble> i do not understand
[03:21] <Ruudjah> http://guacamole.sourceforge.net/ this, but it connects to a cloud vm
[03:21] <cabble> use in tern=minal
[03:21] <Draqul> cabble: run that in a terminal and paste the output here
[03:21] <cabble> *terminal
[03:21] <ilyekkakai> ok, that worked... now new question... on my 2nd drive I had a 50Gb partition NTFS which Vista was using, now it is just unallocated space... how do I add it to the ext4 partition already on that drive?
[03:21] <Ruudjah> dunno
[03:22] <Ruudjah> cant remember the nam
[03:22] <Ruudjah> but if u google clever for fewminutrs you should be able to find it
[03:22] <t3hp00ky> Yes thanks for the link
[03:22] <Ruudjah> need to reboot
[03:22] <t3hp00ky> helped me out
[03:22] <Ruudjah> ok, gl

[03:36] <ahaney3> should the mount command take a long time to complete?
[03:36] <ironsight> silly laptop maker for making a non-standard key on the keyboard :/
[03:36] <Draqul> ahaney3: no
[03:36] <ahaney3> any ideas what would cause it to hang?

[03:37] <ahaney3> Draqul, lol "sudo eject /dev/spite" ?
[03:37] <Draqul> ahaney3: No, I do not know what the issue is there. If you didn't have perms it would just kick back an error - so...
[03:37] <Loshki> ahaney3: usually it's pretty quick, unless the drive has to spin up or it's a networked drive. Does the partition fsck ok?
[03:37] <ahaney3> I'll try it
[03:38] <tim_> does file sharing/streaming between ubuntu/windows looking better these days?
[03:38] <furi> i'd like to be able to use the G buttons along with the M buttons, and the applets, for the logitech G510. how can i do this?
[03:39] <ahaney3> no, it doesn't and fsck suggests I try e2fsck
[03:39] <ahaney3> which then also complains
[03:39] <ahaney3> is the drive hosed?
[03:39] <rooks> tim_ i think nowadays you can write on windows partitioins, and on windows there aree programs to make linux ext3 partitions look like a drive to windows
[03:40] <ironsight> check the S.M.A.R.T. status?
[03:40] <tim_> rooks what happened to good olle samba?
[03:40] <Loshki> ahaney3: maybe, or it might just be the partition got corrupted. I agree with ironsight. Check the SMART data next...
[03:41] <ahaney3> so, go ahead and make fun, how?
[03:42] <furi> can someone please help me with this problem?
[03:42] <garyholt> furi: what problem?
[03:42] <Loshki> ahaney3: sudo gsmartcontrol if you have it. sudo smartctl /dev/sdb if you don't. Then look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.
[03:42] <furi> garyholt: i've been talking about it all day long
[03:42] <garyholt> furi: I just came in
[03:42] <furi> garyholt: oh
[03:43] <furi> garyholt: well, nevertheless, i'd like to know if i can bring the logitech G510 to its fullest use; on windows, you can put applets on the screen, and the bindable keys on it are bindable, and you can use the mode keys. on linux, the screen just always says G510, and the function keys are F1 - F12 and the last 6 are 1 - 6 on the numberline, and the mode keys are unusable.
[03:44] <stiza> anyone know of a good way (from ubuntu) to get multiple livecd iso's on a usb from linux?

[03:44] <garyholt> furi: ok ..hold on a sec
[03:44] <furi> ironsight: i'm sorry? what do you mean?
[03:44] <ironsight> hold on, lemme pull it up
[03:45] <ironsight> system>prefferences>keyboard shortcuts
[03:45] <jshriver> Anyone here use Amazon EC2?
[03:45] <ahaney3> smartctl is in the repo?
[03:46] <jshriver> I just created an instance but not sure how to delete it. Nifty to create an Ubuntu VM there :)
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> furi, looks like this forum post about the g510 got as much input as your IRC question http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1571482  sorry man I have no ideas, good luck.
[03:47] <garyholt> furi: it seems that it has pretty bad support for ubuntu :S
[03:47] <Sean93> when trying to fix my ushare install i get this error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/521142/
[03:47] <garyholt> furi: is ubuntu your main OS?
[03:47] <furi> garyholt: yes
[03:48] <furi> garyholt: in fact, i have no other partitions
[03:48] <furi> garyholt: tested it on my mom's vista computer
[03:48] <furi> garyholt: and the stuff it could do was AWESOME
[03:48] <ZykoticK9> Sean93, i'd try running "sudo apt-get -f install" to see if it can fix what's currently broken
[03:49] <garyholt> furi: did it contain any drivers for linux?
[03:49] <ZykoticK9> garyholt, no linux drivers - windows/mac only
[03:49] <garyholt> furi: if not ... have you tried to run the software via wine?
[03:49] <Sean93> ZykoticK9: i get the same errors
[03:49] <furi> garyholt: no, only windows and linux, just like the N52te, which i traded in for this for that EXACT reason
[03:50] <furi> garyholt: yes, i tried wine, even on N52, it doesn't change anything
[03:50] <ZykoticK9> Sean93, i'm not really surprised (it was doing the same thing basically) -- sorry i gots nothin'.  Good luck man.
[03:50] <Sean93> ZykoticK9: thanks for trying
[03:50] <garyholt> furi: did you change wine settings from xp to windows 7 ?
[03:51] <furi> garyholt: actually, no... not until after i did it; before i switched to 7 i think i had it on vista
[03:51] <furi> garyholt: should i have it on xp?
[03:51] <garyholt> furi: well originally it's xp but u can trie to change it to windows 7
[03:51] <ZykoticK9> furi, garyholt i doubt using wine for hardware (even a keyboard) is going to work.
[03:51] <garyholt> ZykoticK9: I got my old logitech to work that way
[03:52] <sweetpi> furi: run xev and see if the keys even trigger an event, if not youll need a driver that likely doesnt exist. as for the lcd, if it is generic you might be able to fiddle with it. the "applets" are not going to work without a native port or maybe wine(doubt it)
[03:52] <ahaney3> sorry I'm looking for smartctl in the repo and I don't see it
[03:52] <ironsight> ahaney3, some bios can check the SMART status
[03:52] <ZykoticK9> garyholt, well then, i guess it's worth a shot ;)  sorry guys, best of luck.
[03:52] <ahaney3> it's a remote machine
[03:52] <ironsight> oh
[03:52] <ahaney3> can I do it via ssh?
[03:53] <furi> sweetpi: do you mean the G keys or the M keys or just regular keys?
[03:53] <Digital_838> !Info Kernel
[03:53] <furi> sweetpi: or should i try them all?
[03:53] <ironsight> I check my smart status in windows :/
[03:53] <Digital_838> ubottu kernel
[03:53] <Digital_838> Anyone know when the 2.6.36 kernel will hit the updates for Maverick?
[03:54] <ahaney3> ironsight, :(
[03:54] <psusi> Digital_838, it won't
[03:54] <furi> sweetpi: tried pressing the M keys and they didn't work
[03:54] <sweetpi> furi: just try them all and maybe copy the output(if any)
[03:54] <Digital_838> psusi:  Why not?
[03:54] <ironsight> Digital_838, could always compile it yourself if you are impatient :)
[03:54] <furi> sweetpi: the regular keys get output; if i press 1 and hit G13 they get the EXACT same output
[03:54] <Digital_838> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-rc8-maverick/
[03:55] <Digital_838> What are those for?
[03:55] <psusi> Digital_838, because -updates is for service releases to fix critical bugs
[03:55] <furi> G13 is intended a bindable key but apparently isn't
[03:55] <spuddogg> I'm trying to be able to forward X to my windows pc at work.  I keep getting Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10:0
[03:55] <psusi> Digital_838, testing
[03:55] <spuddogg> anyone have an idea?
[03:55] <Digital_838> psusi:  But even with testing they won't move it into the updates?
[03:55] <ZykoticK9> Digital_838, Ubuntu uses a time-based release scheme - thus no rolling updates of software, you need to wait for a new version to get updated versions of included software (with security/bug exceptions)
[03:55] <Digital_838> psusi:  I mean after done testing.
[03:55] <ironsight> furi, perhaps the correct driver for that keyboard has not been coded :(
[03:56] <stiltzkin> alright guys I really need your help here. I've got a kernel problem where ksoftirqd uses 100% of my system resources. From Googling it looks like it's a longstanding issue with no real solution other than to try a different kernel or different network hardware. This is a laptop, so I can't exactly change the network hardware. I'm running 10.10, 2.6.35-22-generic with all the latest updates applied. If anyone has any exper
[03:56] <stiltzkin> ience with this I'd really appreciate some help. This is very frustrating.
[03:56] <furi> ironsight: my life in a nutshell
[03:56] <Digital_838> Well that really stinks  because the 2.6.35 kernel is laggy and sluggish for a lot of folks.
[03:56] <sweetpi> furi: youll need a custom program to do that if they dont have drivers for linux
[03:56] <Digital_838> I wish for the 2.6.35 kernel to go away.
[03:57] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, just fyi, I've had this problem with previous kernels as well. Only never on every single boot
[03:57] <Digital_838> There's a huge thread in the forums of people having issues with this 2.6.35 kernels and the 2.6.36 kernel makes all those issues disappear.
[03:57] <spuddogg> I'm trying to be able to forward X to my windows pc at work.  I keep getting Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10:0   I'm connecting via SSH with the X forwarding enabled in putty.  any ideas?
[03:57] <ironsight> furi, there's a couple of gaming peripherals that do not work (a couple gaming mice made for WoW)
[03:57] <ahaney3> smartctl is in the smartmontools package, fyi
[03:57] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, I have Windows booted on the machine right now. _windows_. That should tell you how frustrated I am.
[03:57] <furi> ironsight: but it's not a mouse
[03:58] <furi> ironsight: it's a gaming keyboard
[03:58] <ironsight> it's in the same family of drivers though
[03:58] <Digital_838> stiltzin you should try the 2.6.36 kernel.
[03:58] <furi> ironsight: i guess
[03:58] <Digital_838> Really its loads better
[03:58] <ironsight> human interface drivers
[03:58] <Digital_838> You load 3 debs and Maverick gets wings!
[03:58] <Digital_838> http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=40185&f=42
[03:58] <sweetpi> furi: it could be done, but a dev would need access to the keyboard.. lookingg at the price, I doubt thats gonna happen
[03:58] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, how do I get the new kernel downloaded and installed when an unkillable process is using 100% of my cpu though
[03:58] <psusi> Digital_838, no... stable releases only get bug fixes, not new versions just because they are there...
[03:59] <furi> sweetpi: that's simply because it's me with the problem; i'm sure if it was someone else, it'd be a lot better simply because it isn't me and my bad luck
[03:59] <Digital_838> stiltzin:  It happens that fast on every boot?
[03:59] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, my fan is cranking at max even before GNOME loads, so I can tell it's immediate
[03:59] <Digital_838> stiltzkin:  mine was more intermittent.  Except using Wine where it was 100% trashed.
[04:00] <Digital_838> stiltzkin:  Is that a driver issue?
[04:00] <furi> sweetpi: problems have been stacking up and nobody has helped me with any of them
[04:00] <thomas|Stapl> Anyone have Any clue as to how to get 10.4 basic ubuntu to install,? during the processs errors varrie,  iv tryed No ACPI on/off and remove "quite" aswell as "nosplash" with these options Iv nearly got it installed but get "hung" on checking battery (and its a desktop)
[04:00] <ironsight> stiltzkin, amd?
[04:00] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, a driver issue how? I think it's a softirqd bug. As in the software doesn't know how to properly use the hardware. I guess...?
[04:00] <Digital_838> 10.10 was the worse Ubuntu release for me in years.
[04:00] <stiltzkin> ironsight, yeah, amd64
[04:01] <Digital_838> And I've got hardware that's 2-3 years old.  Should be just at the sweet spot.
[04:01] <SingAlong> Digital_838: its bad if you are using it on a netbook. else its all fine
[04:01] <ironsight> I had overheating issues on my older amd64 dual cores on a few distros
[04:01] <ironsight> intel has great drivers though for cpu scaling that keeps it cool in linux
[04:01] <Digital_838> SingAlong:  there's a large thread in the forums filled with folks having problems with the Kernel alone.
[04:01] <sweetpi> furi: your asking for something that doesnt exist, nobody will be able to help with that unless they are a developer and also have that keyboard
[04:01] <Digital_838> Then Gwibber, which they promoted as part of this release, is borked for tons of people.
[04:02] <stiltzkin> ironsight, yep this is a dual core. I don't have any other heat issues, everything is normally very quiet and cool. This however really starts to cook things. Which I do not like. This is an expensive laptop
[04:02] <spuddogg> I'm trying to be able to forward X to my windows pc at work.  I keep getting Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10:0   I'm connecting via SSH with the X forwarding enabled in putty.  any ideas?
[04:02] <Digital_838> How can you have a social networking release when the facebook aggregator you're promoting doesn't even work?
[04:02] <furi> sweetpi: but my other problems aren't about HID stuff, and even then, nobody could help
[04:02] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, yeah I agree...neither of those things worked for me initially, and I guess come to think of it they still don't
[04:02] <Digital_838> or more accurately, takes absolute trickery to install.
[04:03] <sweetpi> furi: like what? maybe try rephrasing the question
[04:03] <furi> sweetpi: music-applet
[04:03] <Digital_838> I know it's a bit OT but I really think Shuttleworth should reconsider the every 6 month release cycle.
[04:03] <furi> sweetpi: well, the other issue is HID
[04:03] <furi> sweetpi: bamboo tablet
[04:03] <SingAlong> I tried to edit my fstab and screwed up (after all there's a first time for everything). http://pastie.org/private/8qjj5t7wbjobglhkwjlzq
[04:03] <ironsight> Digital_838, agreed
[04:03] <stiltzkin> so is there any way to prevent this from happening? I was shocked to see that there's basically no way to stop the process from respawning
[04:03] <Digital_838> And how did they sell him on a font over more stable pulse audio?
[04:04] <thomas|Stapl> If no one has any idea to my issue, could i be pointed in the direction of the most stable revison
[04:04] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, don't even get me started on pulse. Took me 3 hours to get Skype working because of Pulse
[04:04] <ironsight> pulse is a headache
[04:04] <Digital_838> stiltzkin:  Lol- you've got plenty of company.
[04:04] <ironsight> pulse kills my linux gaming
[04:04] <Digital_838> ironsight: ditto
[04:05] <SingAlong> Digital_838: oh. ya I had fan problems on my toshiba satellite M505 S4975 laptop. bought a new one yesterday. it used to overheat up to 65c and thewifi went down quickly. it worked fine on windows tho
[04:05] <SingAlong> anyone on this? http://pastie.org/private/8qjj5t7wbjobglhkwjlzq
[04:05] <Digital_838> Funny thing when I researched some of the PulseAudio issues, turns out the PA lead dev is ticked off at Ubuntu because he says they're packaging it wrong and he keeps getting the blame for it not working.
[04:05] <ironsight> Digital_838, I dunno about that, I read it too, it was a bit far fetched
[04:05] <stiltzkin> ALSA, with proper configuration and _up to date_ settings, is all that's really needed. But I digress. I'm more interested in unbricking my laptop right now. It's completely useless with this problem
[04:05] <SingAlong> Digital_838: the fan _just didnt work_ on the toshiba. but ubuntu 10.10 is awesome here on my new HP Probook 4420s. Just that I screwed up my fstab :P
[04:06] <Digital_838> stiltzkin can you do like a very minimal (no gui) install just to see what's going on?
[04:06] <Digital_838> stiltzkin:  Like have it not start X right away?
[04:06] <SingAlong> in the fstab should i set umask to 777 or anything else?
[04:06] <ironsight> Digital_838, you mean alt install?
[04:06] <pulpillo> niil
[04:06] <sweetpi> furi: If nobody responds to your question, it doesnt mean they are ignoring you. either they dont know the answer or it doesnt interest them. there is also ##linux for more generic linux topics
[04:07] <pkn> when i try to boot from ubuntu 10.10 cd on my new build, it says no live file system found...i do have the usb - cd drive connected as well as a ocz ssd sata. What am i missing?
[04:07] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, oh I can get to terminal and everything. I've got Fluxbox installed as well, and that loads fine. It's just much slower than usual since everything can only use one core
[04:07] <Digital_838> ironsight:  Yeah i guess.  I'm still a n00b at this but there has to be something like that where you can jsut get the base installed.
[04:07] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, would dmesg help? I can pastebin it
[04:07] <furi> sweetpi: sorry for being so blunt and rude, i'm just fed up
[04:08] <furi> sweetpi: to the point of where i'm having second thoughts on installing ubuntu in the first place
[04:08] <ironsight> furi, it can be aggrivating, we all understand that.
[04:08] <Digital_838> stiltzkin:  I'm a noob.  The only thing I know about Ubuntu is what I Googled from others.  But I can tell you that recommendation for the new Kernel hit a homerun for me.  If you can get your system to just load three packages, that's all you have to do.
[04:09] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, alright maybe I'll try to get them to install. Thanks for the tip...I just wish I knew how to really fix this
[04:09] <Digital_838> And I love Linux... but the next person who says Microsoft Windows is evil is welcome to come over here and get my PulseAudio working in under 3 hours.
[04:10] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, well _now_ I know how to do it in under 3 hours ;)
[04:10] <AegNuddel> On another computer, I noticed that Ubuntu Studio had more fonts.  I don't want to have to install Ubuntu studio to get fonts on this computer, but would like to know if there is a package of fonts (either the ones or similar to the ones) in Ubuntu studio.
[04:10] <Digital_838> sudo apt-get pulseaudio purge

[04:10] <ironsight> !danger
[04:10] <Digital_838> stiltzkin:  lol
[04:11] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, oh...oops, guess that sets of an alarm here
[04:11] <sweetpi> thomas|Stapl: stop that
[04:11] <Digital_838> rofl
[04:11] <ahaney3> aw, now that's not very nice
[04:11] <Digital_838> Ubottu is sure funny at times
[04:12] <AegNuddel> unless you know you want to wipe your system...
[04:12] <furi> sudo rm -rf sure sounds like a fun command, really fun...yeah...
[04:12] <stiltzkin> there are more interesting ways to do that. like piping urandom to your entire disk with dd
[04:13] <furi> sounds like a simulation of suicide
[04:13] <AegNuddel> well
[04:13] <john38> i cant see my windows when i reduce they disappear??
[04:13] <AegNuddel> On another computer, I noticed that Ubuntu Studio had more fonts.  I don't want to have to install Ubuntu studio to get fonts on this computer, but would like to know if there is a package of fonts (either the ones or similar to the ones) in Ubuntu studio.
[04:13] <AegNuddel> is my real question
[04:14] <john38> i cant see my windows when i reduce they disappear??
[04:14] <stiltzkin> AegNuddel, I honestly have no idea, but I bet if you google the names of a few of the fonts you want installed (I'm presuming they're free fonts) you can probably find some kind of package
[04:14] <ya> what does the docky helper do? i turn some of them on, but nothing happened...
[04:14] <AegNuddel> don't really know em by name yet
[04:15] <stiltzkin> AegNuddel, oh, also you can check to see if Ubuntu Studio has its own repositories (it probably does) and then search them for fonts packages
[04:15] <john38> Anybody know if its possible to flash BIOS on ubuntu???
[04:16] <stiltzkin> john38, like, you mean from within ubuntu?
[04:16] <john38> stiltzkin, i mean whatever within or out
[04:16] <ironsight> there, all done setting up the nvidia, looks good :D http://i54.tinypic.com/28i97jb.png
[04:17] <Jygga> you dont oot into any operating system to meddle with your bios if you are sane
[04:17] <Jygga> boot*
[04:17] <stiltzkin> john38, well certainly there are ways of flashing your bios. I think normally you don't do that in a running OS though
[04:17] <stiltzkin> yeah what Jygga said
[04:17] <john38> stiltzkin, well then does ubuntu have boot into Dos or something
[04:18] <Jygga> john38 you just need a usbb stick
[04:18] <ironsight> john38, you should check out making a bootable dos cd for flashing
[04:18] <ironsight> like freedos
[04:18] <stiltzkin> john38, no...ubuntu has its own commandline, not DOS. Why do you need to reflash your bios anyway? Lost password?
[04:19] <john38> stiltzkin, i just want to update bios
[04:19] <jsninja> john38, it is possible to flash the bios of dell machines
[04:19] <Jygga> go to the website of your mainboard manufacturer and read up on what they want you to do
[04:19] <jsninja> john38, the dell flash API has been implemented in open source tools. So you can flash from your desktop like in windows.
[04:20] <AegNuddel> there we go
[04:20] <john38> jsninja, this is not a Dell machine its custom P4 3.2ghz Asus mobo system
[04:20] <jsninja> john38, for other manufactures you'll need to boot into DOS from a usb key, cd, floppy... FreeDOS usually works
[04:21] <ironsight> unetbootin can make a freedos usb stick
[04:21] <joyoco> hello
[04:21] <ironsight> hi
[04:21] <joyoco> how to use it
[04:22] <john38> What would cause slow scrolling on a website
[04:22] <john38> or search engine
[04:22] <john38> ram, video card?
[04:22] <spndi> Hello my Ubuntu conked off after working pretty well for some days. I have installed it it on Vista. Now it gives an error message Try (hd0,0 NT5S) No Wuibldr Try ((hd0,1 NT5S)  and then brings up another screen which says "Minimal bash like editing is supported for the first word. Tab list is possible command complete. I wonder if anybody can help me ?
[04:22] <Sean93> john38: is it jittery? like it repainting the page
[04:23] <john38> Sean93, no if I scroll down its slow and when i type something on search auto complete is slow
[04:24] <blackshirt> hello
[04:24] <Sean93> john38: then I'm not sure
[04:24] <ironsight> john38, perhaps alot of flash bogging down the page?
[04:24] <AegNuddel> What does the name of the distro do in the commands?  when it says like "lucid main"
[04:25] <stiltzkin> AegNuddel, just specifies which repository to get the packages from
[04:25] <Scunizi_> AegNuddel: that refers to the repositories that hold packages/programs.  "Main" is the primary repository that is supported and tested by Ubuntu
[04:26] <Sean93> anyone installed Aoin on linux?
[04:26] <john38> Sean93, now that you asked when i boot into ubuntu before the ubuntu splash or after im not sure the screen is different color its all weird then desktop loads
[04:26] <AegNuddel> I accidentally put the wrong distro name as I pasted it from an older source
[04:27] <AegNuddel> Will it matter?
[04:27] <_MAD_Diplomat> oR Beach Club
[04:27] <Scunizi_> AegNuddel: you should only use packages from the repos that are designed for a specific release.
[04:27] <_MAD_Diplomat> wrong channel
[04:27] <roknir> AegNuddel: did you actually apt-get update and apt-get upgrade before fixing it though?  if not, i doubt it matters.
[04:27] <AegNuddel> oh man
[04:28] <Sean93> john38: that's over my head. I'm still new to linux, I just help with problems I have solved personally :P
[04:28] <joyoco> 有中国的么
[04:28] <AegNuddel> I hadn't done that and it's just fonts really
[04:28] <john38> Anybody know what can cause weird colors on screen before boot???
[04:28] <JoeMaverickSett> !cn | joyoco
[04:28] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, successfully applied the 2.6.36 .debs, rebooting with crossed fingers...
[04:28] <AegNuddel> I found the studio fonts thing but it was designed for feisty and I have lucid here
[04:29] <Scunizi_> AegNuddel: for fonts you can find many on the net.. put them in your /home/.fonts directory.. fontmatrix is a good font management program for turning fonts on and off.
[04:29] <Digital_838> stiltzkin:  I'm cheering for ya!
[04:29] <AegNuddel> Scunizi, I know that much
[04:30] <Random832> so i've noticed in the past few days a bunch of people coming in here speaking chinese
[04:30] <Random832> did the default irc channel on the chinese localization of ubuntu not get set up?
[04:30] <EeveeTrainer> hi, how can i edit an sql table  ?
[04:31] <sweetpi> john38: loose cable, bad ram or bad video card.. could be a number of things
[04:31] <roknir> john38: could be misconfigured drivers, problems with the plymouth screen, etc.
[04:32] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, well...so far it looks good! no process usage. Thanks a ton for the tip. Unfortunately I won't really know whether or not this is fixed until it starts doing it again. I've been between 5 or 6 kernels before and sometimes it's an infrequent problem that can be solved with one reboot, and then other times (like now) it happens every time. This definitely looks like it helped though!
[04:32] <john38> sweetpi, after unpluggin VGA cable it does not show up anymore but im hesitant
[04:32] <name_> i am now in ubuntu live. in terminal i am root on my main system. error that i get when i try to load is Plymouth main process (329) terminated with status 1. when i try to run apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade i get this error: Failed to symbolic-link /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic to initrd.img: File exists

[04:33] <name_> all started to happen today after update. i mean, yesterday.

[04:34] <ironsight> don't worry about weird colors on the screen if you installed drivers for your ati
[04:34] <ironsight> john38, ^
[04:35] <john38> what do you think is the culprit
[04:35] <name_> i fixed my partition table with testdisk, edited fstab while in live cd so that only loads swap and / , recheck my winxp partition with chkdsk. i am running out of options here
[04:35] <ironsight> video drivers, but it's no biggy
[04:35] <stiltzkin> Digital_838, ironsight: thanks very much for the help, gentlemen. looks like I'm at least up and running again, for now :)
[04:35] <john38> is getting a nvidia card instead fix it?
[04:35] <ironsight> unless you use the free but inferior drivers you will have funky colors
[04:35] <sweetpi> john38: you unplugged that cable, and it went away.. so I say loose cable
[04:36] <ironsight> john38, nvidia has the same issue
[04:36] <Digital_838> stiltzkin:   Glad its better!
[04:36] <ironsight> ironsight, just ignore it or shut off the splash screen
[04:36] <ironsight> john38,
[04:36] <ironsight> I suggest ignoring it myself
[04:37] <john38> ironsight, one more thing when load search engine its slow as i scroll, "a search engine!"
[04:37] <john38> ironsight, but other sites are normal
[04:38] <ironsight> john38, I use google chrome
[04:38] <ironsight> ironsight, but for you, with a gig of ram... try seamonkey
[04:38] <ironsight> john38,
[04:38]  * ironsight facepalms for being up for 24 hours
[04:38] <john38> ironsight, i got a P4 3.2ghz and 1GB of ram shouldnt that be enough
[04:39] <ironsight> try chrome or opera, you might see an improvement
[04:39] <john38> ironsight, or should 2GB be enough
[04:39] <ironsight> chrome uses webkit I think
[04:39] <ironsight> which is quite fast
[04:39]  * Sean93 congratulates ironsight
[04:39] <Sean93> :P
[04:40] <john38> ironsight, i dont have problems with firefox
[04:40] <xxiao> anyone can gobby to gobby.ubuntu.com?
[04:40] <ironsight> Sean93, ?
[04:40] <Sean93> on being up for 24 hours lol
[04:40] <ironsight> my day off :P
[04:41] <Sean93> a day well spent lol
[04:41] <ironsight> I wasn't in here all day :P

[04:44] <oddtod> Hello all. Is there a way to change the scroll speed in Ubuntu with gnome shell?
[04:44] <javatexan> hey guys, I am trying to make a virtual machine out of a running ubuntu box, then reinstall the box as a virtual machine box and put the ubuntu vm back on it.... anyone had success doing this?  The ubuntu machine does have some databases running on it so I am not sure if a tar of / will work.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
[04:44] <alanlan69> hello?
[04:44] <alanlan69> anybody with some assembly language knowledge?
[04:44] <Digital_838> javatexan:  You just made me dizzy
[04:45] <Scunizi_> javatexan: vmware has a tool to make a vm out of a running install.. you can load a vmware vm image into vbox.
[04:45] <alanlan69> anybody know how is the time of day represented in linux?
[04:45] <javatexan> okay, it will actually be a ubuntu virtual machine server....I don't remember what they called it.  THanks
[04:45] <name_> grub is installed, repaired, i see my ubuntu and winxp partition. i can go in winxp with no problem, on Ubuntu when i try to load is Plymouth main process (329) terminated with status 1. i am googling andtrying stuff for couple of hours now. anyone with similar problem today? i am now in livecd
[04:45] <Jygga> try ddate alanlan69 ;)
[04:46] <furi> how do you disconnect from ONLY a channel on irssi?
[04:46] <oddtod> javatexan: what vm software are you using?
[04:46] <javatexan> Digital_838: I know what you mean
[04:46] <alanlan69> i am sorry for my ignorance, but i am not very familiar with linux, i am just a recent fan.
[04:46] <Scunizi_> furi: /window part
[04:46] <javatexan> oddtod: just the one in ubuntu server
[04:46] <alanlan69> and i happen to be in an assembly language class this semester
[04:46] <furi> Scunizi_: didn't work
[04:46] <oddtod> javatexan: xen? Virtual box? Vmware?
[04:46] <Scunizi_> furi: is it the only channel you're in?
[04:46] <alanlan69> and i have a homework question saying: how is the time of day represented in linux?
[04:47] <Scunizi_> furi: try /window close
[04:47] <furi> Scunizi_: no, i'm in 3 channels right now
[04:47] <Jygga>  that question is a little vague alanlan69
[04:47] <alanlan69> i know!!!
[04:47] <alanlan69> this prof is crazy!
[04:47] <name_> if prof is hot then its ok
[04:47] <alanlan69> but a friend told me it has to do with precision or something, as in milliseconds,etc
[04:47] <oddtod> alanlan69: i'm assuming there is a leading question
[04:48] <ironsight> so... he wants you to write a program for linux in assembly that messes with linux date and time?
[04:48] <oddtod> alanlan69: "with a clock" is the correct answer
[04:48] <javatexan> oddtod: it looks like KVM is the default for the ubuntu server
[04:48] <alanlan69> well, that is the question and then is asks the same about windows, java, mac, etc
[04:48] <Jygga> oh maye he would like you to read up on time representation as epoch time ?
[04:48] <alanlan69> jajaja,
[04:48] <Jygga> there you go then
[04:49] <alanlan69> uhmm,
[04:49] <bradg> Where should I ask a question regarding Ettercap?
[04:49] <oddtod> javatexan: and you're looking to take a physical server and virtualize it right?
[04:49] <alanlan69> he said it has to do with precision, as in milliseconds, or nanoseconds, etc
[04:49] <javatexan> oddtod: yes
[04:49] <ironsight> alanlan69, like... make a timer in assembly?
[04:50] <alanlan69> yes!
[04:50] <alanlan69> he siad something about an enhanced capture timer datasheet
[04:50] <alanlan69> but i have no idea what that is or where to find it, this class is hard, and i am just a beginner
[04:50] <ironsight> he told you to do this without showing you the basics of how to do it?
[04:51] <alanlan69> yes, he is ten year, he doesn't care
[04:51] <alanlan69> ten year = prof in college who cant get fired no matter what
[04:52] <ZykoticK9> alanlan69, the word you are looking for is "tenure"
[04:52] <letas> does anyone know if I have openvpn and apache running on the same ubuntu server, if I can
[04:52] <alanlan69> tenure, correct,
[04:52] <letas> see apache's website through the openvpn server private IP?
[04:52] <oddtod> javatexan: http://alexharrington.co.uk/2009/09/23/linux-p2v/ there you go sir. Following those will get you P2V using KVM
[04:52] <alanlan69> i am ESL
[04:52] <oddtod> javatexan: good luck
[04:52] <javatexan> thanks oddtod
[04:52] <ironsight> I have never coded a timer, let alone in assembly
[04:52] <ironsight> I like a little bit of a higher language than assembly
[04:53] <oddtod> ten year HAHAAH
[04:53] <ironsight> I mean, linux was coded in c
[04:53] <alanlan69> :)
[04:53] <hiexpo> ? when 9.10 support ends does that mean ho more repo updates or just helping end
[04:53] <javatexan> alanlan69: should be easy in assembly to get a precise timer, assembly is fast
[04:53] <ironsight> and c is easy compared to assembly
[04:53] <ZykoticK9> hiexpo, no more security updates is the real issue
[04:54] <hiexpo> ZykoticK9, yes
[04:54] <ironsight> alanlan69, google for "assembly timer example"
[04:54] <alanlan69> but i dont understand the question, how is time of day represented in each of the folllowing systems:  Windows, Mac, Linux, GPS, Java.
[04:54] <javatexan> alanlan69: you might as well type in the actual question, its a little hard to read your mind.  LOL
[04:55] <alanlan69> jaja, sorry,
[04:55] <name_> grub is installed, repaired, i see my ubuntu and winxp partition. i can go in winxp with no problem, on Ubuntu when i try to load is Plymouth main process (329) terminated with status 1. i am googling andtrying stuff for couple of hours now. anyone with similar problem today? i am now in livecd.
[04:55] <ZykoticK9> alanlan69, your homework assignment is NOT ubuntu related, and thus off-topic for this channel.  perhaps ##linux might help?  best of luck.
[04:55] <name_> ZykoticK9, tnx, i was aobut to say same
[04:55] <cutout> when I type tasksel on 10.04 it says command not found, how can I install it?
[04:56] <javatexan> LOL, the  youth
[04:56] <alanlan69> i know i know, sorry to bother, i just thought one of you geniuses might be able to help me.
[04:56] <UbuntuLily> Ever since I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.4 I keep getting prompted for an update for Krita but it will not allow me to select it and Krita doesn't open either
[04:56] <ironsight> cutout, sudo apt-get install tasksel
[04:56] <UbuntuLily> Any ideas?
[04:57] <voidmage> gthumb question: where is the find duplicates button?
[04:57] <oddtod> name_ it seems like your menu file prlly got hosed up. i don't remember where that file is i thought it was in /boot/grub/menu*.lst
[04:57] <con-man> !ubottu | botabuse
[04:57] <oddtod> but i can't seem to find mine
[04:58] <ironsight> UbuntuLily, some things can break on updates in ubuntu, I suggest next time you build from scratch to put /home on a separate partition than / then you can install from scratch on the update without losing your stuff in /home
[04:58] <UbuntuLily> I am setup that way already
[04:58] <ironsight> ahh ok
[04:59] <UbuntuLily> I just thought the update was safe
[04:59] <ironsight> hardly anymore :(
[04:59] <UbuntuLily> Neat
[04:59] <ironsight> it's like rolling the dice
[05:00] <ironsight> wait, update or dist-upgrade?
[05:00] <doc|home> hey, I'm using anacron (I think) and have set up a user cron using crontab -e. It doesn't seem to be getting run. Anyone got any suggestions why? No .allow or .deny files are used :/
[05:01] <voidmage> anyone know?
[05:01] <oddtod> name_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 that is what you're looking for. There should be an area on there discussing the differences between grub 1 and grub 2
[05:01] <name_> oddtod, ubuntu 10.10 uses grub2. quote:"#
[05:01] <name_> Grub Legacy uses boot/grub/menu.lst.
[05:01] <name_> #
[05:01] <name_> Grub 2 uses uses boot/grub/grub.cfg. " i reinstalled grub several times. i now think it could be kernel issue , but i have only latest one on grub, and dont know how to install older ones
[05:01] <FloodBot1> name_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:02] <CkhiKuzad> An ISO image that i downloaded tonight, (Spent 2 hours downloading) downloaded as an iso and an iso.1
[05:02] <CkhiKuzad> how do i merge them?
[05:02] <name_> i thought it was in a same line..
[05:03] <jeroth1> Is ubuntu one password reset broken? Ive had it send me a confirmation code 3 times over 4 days. I use gmail and have checked my junk folder.
[05:03] <oddtod> name_ yeah if you don't care about the install just blow it away and reinstall. A fresh install shouldn't matter
[05:03] <jgautier> lets say i have a command that i can run on the terminal "npm" how can i figure out what npm points to?
[05:03] <jiohdi> CkhiKuzad: if they are mergable, the first thing I would do is rename iso to iso.0 then cat them togethr
[05:04] <jiohdi> CkhiKuzad: cat iso.* > new.iso
[05:04] <jeroth1> Is Ubuntu one password reset broken? Ive had it send me a confirmation code 3 times over 4 days. I use gmail and have checked my junk folder.
[05:04] <name_> oddtod, there is nothing too important on my ubuntu partition, yet i would like to see what programs i have installed so that i can reinstall ones i liked, i didnt memorized them, and also i might check my download folder, but i can do that from livecd i am in now
[05:04] <UbuntuLily> Ironsite - whats the difference?
[05:04] <CkhiKuzad> jiohdi, alright. so i would do 'cat bt2.iso.0 bt2.iso.1 > backtrack.iso'
[05:04] <jeroth1> jgautier: are you saying where the program is located? You can run the command "whereis yourcommand"
[05:05] <jgautier> ok
[05:05] <jiohdi> CkhiKuzad: if they are mergable that should do it
[05:05] <name_> oddtod, thing is, i wanna know how to fix this stuff , it is a good for learning
[05:05] <CkhiKuzad> alright, thank you jiohdi
[05:05] <ironsight> UbuntuLily, major upgrades or software changes in the repo
[05:05] <she_dyed>   /bye
[05:05] <ironsight> sometimes it isn't sane about how it handles the updates
[05:05] <UbuntuLily> Sorry for my stupidity... I dont understand
[05:05] <jeroth1> Anyone know if Ubuntu one password reset is broken?
[05:06] <gonzo_> Alright, everyone, I apologize beforehand for my lack of knowledge.  2 days in to ubuntu with no previous linux experience.  i cant get the backlit keyboard on my asus towork?
[05:06] <ironsight> jeroth1, you could email ubuntu one team maybe?
[05:06] <oddtod> name_ if its not a fresh install meaning you had a machine that was working it broke and then you wiped the disk and reinstalled. then most likely grub broke you then reinstalled grub(fixed grub) now need to adjust the settings of the boot file to fix this.
[05:06] <ZykoticK9> UbuntuLily, the biggest difference between "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" is the dist-upgrade will install NEW packages, while the "upgrade" will not
[05:06] <jeroth1> thanks ironsight i thought i would just ask the community :)
[05:06] <ironsight> :)
[05:07] <UbuntuLily> Gotcha. I am just using the GUI "Update Manager"
[05:07] <doc|home> anyone?
[05:07] <ZykoticK9> UbuntuLily, Update Manger = dist-upgrade from cli
[05:08] <ZykoticK9> jeroth1, you might want to try asking in the #ubuntuone channel ;)  they might know.
[05:08] <oddtod> name_ do a paste bin of your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[05:08] <CkhiKuzad> jiohdi, thank you very much. the cat appeared to work. now the only challenge is to get it to burn.
[05:08] <jeroth1> ZykoticK9:ha! Yeah, that might help har har har *headsmack*
[05:08] <jiohdi> CkhiKuzad: (^_^)
[05:08] <name_> oddtod, it is an old install "installed day when 10.10 came out". grub2 i reinstalled several times, and i fixed any problem partition table might have, or winxp ntfs partition errors. i also removed from fstab all ntfs partitions i had there for autoload
[05:09] <name_> automount*
[05:09] <UbuntuLily> Also dont know if its related but my battery indicator hasn't worked right since either
[05:09] <spndi> Hello my Ubuntu conked off after working pretty well for some days. I have installed it it on Vista. Now it gives an error message Try (hd0,0 NT5S) No Wuibldr Try ((hd0,1 NT5S) and then brings up another screen which says "Minimal bash like editing is supported for the first word. Tab list is possible command complete. I wonder if anybody can help me ?
[05:10] <CkhiKuzad> jiohdi, Your expertise of Linux far surpasses mine, the burning is working, and hopefully my back track CD will soon join my Ubuntu, Frenzy, and Slax LiveCDs.
[05:10] <ChinaForge> Hello,I upgrade my Ubuntu to 10.10,but i can't copy file to windows share folders,report invalid parameters. why?
[05:10] <jiohdi> CkhiKuzad: I am still a newbie, but had my share of learning in the last year
[05:10] <name_> i always go over updates list (not that i understand it really) to see if something i regulary use is getting updated, but today i didnt so i dont know if kernel was updated.
[05:10] <name_> can someone with latest updates on 10.10 tell me what their version of kernel is
[05:11] <ZykoticK9> name_, 2.6.35-22-generic if it helps...
[05:11] <gonzo_> Alright, everyone, I apologize beforehand for my lack of knowledge.  2 days in to ubuntu with no previous linux experience.  i cant get the backlit keyboard on my asus towork?
[05:11] <CkhiKuzad> jiohdi, I've been using Linux since i was 13, yet i am, unfortunately still a newbie compared to almost everyone else.
[05:11] <spndi> Any idea people ??
[05:12] <jiohdi> CkhiKuzad: I went through about 14 re-installs my first year... learning curve :)
[05:13] <spinningcompass> CkhiKuzad: You sound like a martial artist to me. :) We never stop learning. Either you quit or you learn more.  :)
[05:13] <ZykoticK9> spndi, i'm sorry to say this, but Wubi issues don't typically get many answers - more experienced users avoid it, and thus can't really help with Wubi-specific issues.  Hopefully someone can help, best of luck.
[05:14] <CkhiKuzad> jiohdi, I now have a backtrack 3 LiveCD \o/. And spinningcompass, I took martial arts classes until my family's income dropped below poverty level, and we couldn't afford the classes. anyway that's enough of my being off-topic.
[05:15] <jiohdi> spndi: wubi worked for me on initial install, but after an update, the boot failed
[05:15] <rubydiamond> hi guys.. how to use ssh tunnel .. to use transmission for downloading torrents..
[05:15] <rubydiamond> from my office
[05:15] <rubydiamond> is it possible ?
[05:15] <rubydiamond> I have a VPS
[05:15] <jiohdi> CkhiKuzad: very good :)
[05:15] <spinningcompass> CkhiKuzad: I think martial arts fits very well into the spirit of ubuntu. ;)
[05:16] <phroggie> I'm getting [Errno 5] Input/output error when it starts to copy files during installation. Installing netbook remix on an eeepc, side by side with Win7.
[05:16] <phroggie> i've tried a CD, two USB drives, and a SDcard
[05:17] <phroggie> and I'm pretty sure it's not the hard drive, becuase win7 works fine, and ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition works fine...
[05:17] <os2mac> So I have a questiona about Unity. everytime I try to run it under a virtual box guest I get errors for no driver. any ideas?
[05:17] <name_>  linux-image-generic-pae depends on linux-image-2.6.35-23-generic-pae ,however:
[05:17] <name_>   Package linux-image-2.6.35-23-generic-pae is not configured yet.
[05:17] <name_>  how to do that within live cd
[05:17] <ZykoticK9> phroggie, from a livecd/usb environment if you run the terminal command "dmesg" is it also filled with I/O errors?  (would suggest a bad/failing HD)
[05:17] <terr_> Does anyone know if Ubuntu can run on an Iphone or a blackberry?
[05:17] <name_> didnt want that. damn xchat!!
[05:17] <krishnandu> phroggie, Check your RAM with memtest86+. Probably the curprit is RAM.
[05:17] <terr_> Also I'm looking for an IRC channel for OpenOffice
[05:17] <CkhiKuzad> spinningcompass, it fits more into linux in general. as the jargon file says: "To follow the path, look to the master(s), follow the master(s), walk with the master(s), see through the master(s), become the master."
[05:18] <phroggie> I'll try dmesg and a memtest and report back. Thanks guys
[05:18] <CkhiKuzad> Like Kung-fu.
[05:18] <ZykoticK9> !openoffice | terr_
[05:18] <oddtod> name_ yes xchat's fault you don't know how to use it or pastebin
[05:18] <krishnandu> phroggie, Well...the burning media you are using may also be the root of problem, But I'm ignoring it now coz you tried usb too.
[05:18] <rubydiamond> hi guys.. how to use ssh tunnel .. to use transmission for downloading torrents using software like 'transmission' on ubuntu ?
[05:18] <rubydiamond> anybody tried it ?
[05:18] <jiohdi> CkhiKuzad: to format the path, look to the dearly gparted
[05:18]  * name_ slaps oddtod
[05:19]  * CkhiKuzad facepalms about the epic pun
[05:19] <CkhiKuzad> Anyway, i'm going to test this LiveCD, thanks for your help jiohdi, nice talking to you spinningcompass
[05:19] <name_> i would paste it as one line if i knew why it paste it in 3
[05:19] <v1nsai> hey all where could I put a script that runs on startup and return from suspend with root priveleges?
[05:19] <jiohdi> :)
[05:19] <terr_> ubottu: thanx - found it.
[05:19] <phroggie> lots of errors with dmesg
[05:19] <spinningcompass> and you :)
[05:19] <phroggie> but no IO errors
[05:20] <ZykoticK9> phroggie, i'd try md5 testing your ISO image you are using to burn then...
[05:20] <krishnandu> phroggie, boot using the live cd and choose memtest86+
[05:20] <phroggie> i'm running memtest now
[05:21] <ZykoticK9> phroggie, memtest takes HOURS, just so you know - probably best to leave running overnight.
[05:21] <phroggie> OH lol
[05:21] <Patric3> How can I disabled Ctrl+Alt+F1 going to a text terminal ?
[05:21] <blakkheim> Patric3: why would you do that
[05:21] <krishnandu> phroggie, so...did you burned the CD in 8x or higher speed??
[05:22] <fazzil> hi all
[05:22] <phroggie> i burned it fast, but I'm getting the exact same error with two different USB sticks AND an sdcard
[05:22] <terr_> Does Ubuntyu support a voice to text option?
[05:22] <Patric3> blakkheim: When I am connected to a Windows RDP Server and using VMWare VI Client, I'm currently unable to send a Ctrl+Alt+F# to a *nix guest
[05:22] <phroggie> sdcard is lightning fast compared to the rest, so I've been using that
[05:22] <krishnandu> Patric3, Why would you..?? That's Unix feature. Multiuser, Multitasking
[05:22] <Patric3> as above
[05:23] <jeroth1> Patric3: I believe you change your xorg.conf and set the option. "Option "DontVTSwitch" "true" "
[05:23] <Patric3> i.e. my local box switches
[05:23] <Patric3> I want all other text terms to switch if possible except for F1
[05:23] <terr_> Patric3: write a small app which will send this to the client
[05:23] <Patric3> lol
[05:23] <Patric3> How ?
[05:24] <terr_> GUN C
[05:24] <krishnandu> phroggie, You should not burn CD/DVD(specifically OS ISO's) above 8x. So chances are media is faulty. But I guess in your case it's RAM as you mentioned you've tried USB too
[05:24] <terr_> GNU C pardon
[05:24] <Patric3> Virtual terminals used to be controlled in /etc/inittab but since the move to upstart I'm not sure how to mod this behaviour
[05:24] <name_> Patric3, did you tried using CTRL+SUPER+ALT+F1 in vmware
[05:24] <Patric3> ah
[05:24] <Patric3> :-)
[05:24] <Patric3> I will try that
[05:25] <terr_> If you go to www.gnu.com and check the docs for Glibc they have complete docs on how to open a port and write a bit of glue code
[05:25] <Patric3> (although that key combination is verging on Mac key combinations ;-)
