[00:00] <ixiaqla> Hello. I am trying to increase the open file limit on my Ubuntu install by default. I have changed /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/pam.d/common-session ; /etc/pam.d/login BOTH have session require pam_limits.so written and uncommented. I have rebooted the server and still see 1024 when I do ulimit -n. Any ideas?
[00:02] <elijah> I can't right click on any files anymore, I also can't left click on the power button on top right, I can left click on files just not right click. Any ideas what is going on/how to fix? Would a restart be good?
[00:02] <elijah> Actually I can't click on any system menus at all
[00:03] <Zx432> Hi
[00:03] <voglster> wassup
[00:04] <Zx432> Is this the place to get help for ubuntu server?
[00:04] <Zx432> I am noob so...
[00:04] <starn> escott: disk utility says " SMART Status:  disk has a few bad sectors"  does that mean it's dying?
[00:04] <juila> have a question about ubuntu
[00:04] <zykotick9> Zx432: either here, or #ubuntu-server
[00:05] <elijah> I can't even click the button to restart, is the command shutdown -restart?
[00:05] <escott> starn, its not good, but the disk can usually remap a few bad sectors. in the end its a question of how paranoid you are about your data
[00:05] <velko> starn, yes. do a backup as fast as you can. it might work a lot longer but your data is not safe on it
[00:05] <starn> says "self-test failed"  4095 bad sectors"
[00:06] <escott> starn, thats a s-ton more than a few. that is a LOT of bad sectors
[00:06] <elijah> shutdown -r now?
[00:06] <juila> have an application running on the background that I would want to edit
[00:06] <starn> alright escott whats the easy way to clone ubuntu's partiton onto another hard drive and still be bootable?
[00:06] <Zx432> On my server I have a Local loopback. The server is plugged in my router, since I only want it for internal use it shouldn't be a problem.
[00:06] <juila> but cannot have on the lunc
[00:06] <Zx432> Or should it?
[00:07] <juila> can anyone help with that..?
[00:07] <escott> starn, you could do a lowlevel dd, but i would think that a !clone together with a home backup is better. you dont want to copy invalid data to the new disk
[00:07] <velko> juila, what is a lunc?
[00:08] <starn> hmm escott apparently the hard drive has "airflow Temperature" errors
[00:08] <juila> I meant luncher
[00:09] <escott> starn, clean the dust out, but you may have already baked the drive
[00:09] <starn> says the correct temp is 118f   (i am pretty sure that's to hot) escott  and this is a new computer... the disk is on.
[00:10] <starn> escott: i'm going to try to run a test if i disappear it's because my computer froze.
[00:10] <velko> juila, i still cannot understand what are you trying to accomplish. the application is already running. but you don't have a launcher for it. how this constitutes a problem to be helped with?
[00:11] <shmily> i want to make a script run on resume from a suspend. the script then promptly starts then stops how do i keep it running
[00:11] <shmily> please and thank you
[00:12] <juila> velko the application is running on the background cos it supposed to be reminding some times which it does, now want to edit the timing but when ever I select it it wont open from the luncher
[00:13] <shmily> anyone know where i could find someone who can help?
[00:13] <velko> juila, sorry. this still does not make any sense to me. ask the others. hopefully somebody will understand
[00:14] <wildBill_> grrrr
[00:14] <wildBill_> my x axis carriage is sticking
[00:14] <wildBill_> damn oillite bushings
[00:15] <shmily> hello?
[00:15] <pillboxing> hi guys can someone give me the syntax for mounting an smb share?
[00:15] <shmily> is anyone able to read this?
[00:15] <Zx432> yes
[00:15] <wildBill_> anyone got any suggestions other than take the rods off and turn them and grind them again
[00:15] <zykotick9> wildBill_: wrong channel?
[00:15] <pillboxing> buy a new one :D
[00:16] <wildBill_> lol!
[00:16] <juila> thanks velko
[00:16] <Zx432> Nobody home at # ubuntu-server....
[00:19] <domo1> hello.. i believe i have foun da bug with ssh on ubuntu
[00:19] <domo1> but I would like to ask if someone can confirm it or try to replicate it?
[00:19] <pillboxing> mount -t //<IP_ADDRESS>/Scripts /media/LS cifs guest
[00:19] <pillboxing> can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong there?
[00:20] <domo1> it seems sshd_config strictmodes is set to yes by default on the latest ubuntu server.. but if i have a .ssh/authorized_keys file with permissions set to 0775 and 0664 (dir and file respectivley), it allows a login!
[00:20] <Major_V_Blessed> So glad to be back
[00:20] <domo1> which I believe is incorrect
[00:20] <domo1> is this a known issue?
[00:20] <velko> pillboxing, are you allowed to use the ip address instead of the host name?
[00:20] <pillboxing> I can in dolphin
[00:20] <starn> odd the other disk in the machine is at 122f yet smart test say's it's perfectly healthy
[00:21] <escott> pillboxing, cifs should follow the type option
[00:21] <velko> pillboxing, mount does not look a lot like dolphin, does it?
[00:21] <shmily> i want to start using a security keylogger in case my laptop gets stolen. one problem i have is it kills when going to suspend. i made a script to start it again when i resume. now i have the problem of it starting then four milliseconds later killing how can i fix this?
[00:21] <zu_munir> :)
[00:21] <pillboxing> no, but I assume that dolphin doesn't convert the ip to a host name and then lookup
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> pillboxing: -t needs a type after it
[00:21] <skypce> hello people , can you helpme with this panel problem please?http://imagebin.org/203347
[00:22] <pillboxing> so I would do:
[00:22] <starn> how come every hard drive i have that has Linux Partiton has "failed in the past" for temperature and says "disk has a few bad sectors"  even if the hard drive is brand new?
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> skypce: what is the output of:  lsb_release -a
[00:23] <Major_V_Blessed> @pillboxing dolphin browser
[00:23] <Rurd2di> any idea if i can logout a unity session from console
[00:23] <Major_V_Blessed> ?
[00:23] <Rurd2di> and how to do so
[00:23] <zu_munir> HI all..
[00:23] <pillboxing> sudo mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/Scripts /media/LS guest?
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> Rurd2di: sure, run:    killall -u $USER
[00:23] <escott> Rurd2di, gnome-session-quit?
[00:24] <pillboxing> doen't work ><
[00:24] <Rurd2di> ubuntu 11
[00:24] <Rurd2di> tho
[00:24] <pillboxing> doesn't
[00:24] <shmily> can anyone read this? seriously am i doing this the wrong was or does noone know?
[00:24] <escott> pillboxing, escape the space in "LS guest"
[00:24] <pillboxing> naww, guest is the username I assumed
[00:24] <escott> shmily, its not something people in ubuntu do very often. try !backtrack
[00:25] <shmily> is it !back... or back....
[00:25] <pillboxing> fogler name I'm trying to mount ot to /media/LS

[00:32] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[00:32] <skypce> i was tested with another themes
[00:32] <skypce> and same
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> skypce: its to just test, think about it, we are  trying to isolate an issue
[00:32] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: natty
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: did you by any chance add the Gnome3 ppa ?
[00:33] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: Yep.
[00:33] <Rurd2di> ok i need to logout my gnome session from console

[00:33] <Rurd2di> lol
[00:33] <Rourick> ? please i wanna switch os, i have no cd's nor usb stick, is it possiable download iso and run from linux for boot-up? thanks
[00:34] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: Ok, how do I remove it?
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: I'd reinstall personally. You may find success with ppa-purge
[00:34] <Rurd2di> Rourick: nettboot
[00:35] <Rurd2di> best way then
[00:35] <Rourick> from software manager?
[00:35] <Rurd2di> nb
[00:35] <Rurd2di> *netboot
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Rourick: Grub2 can boot ISOs
[00:35] <Rourick> im new not sure grub
[00:35] <Rourick> :)
[00:36] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: hmmmkay... installing...
[00:36] <rfoust> newb question: chrome is taking up the full screen, and I can't get to the title bar.  how do i fix it? :)
[00:36] <h00k> rfoust: try f11
[00:36] <h00k> rfoust: or alt+click and drag
[00:36] <superdave321> rfoust: that or you may be running it in app mode...
[00:37] <rfoust> ah ha, the alt-click drag did it
[00:37] <superdave321> cool
[00:37] <rfoust> thanks!!
[00:37] <pillboxing>  //<IP_ADDRESS>/Scripts /media/LS cifs iocharset=utf8,uid=localusername,gid=users,guest,file_mode=0444,dir_mode=0555 0 0
[00:37] <pillboxing> that's what I have in my fstab
[00:37] <pillboxing> can anyone linkme to the proper syntax for mounting samba?
[00:38] <escott> pillboxing, gid=users looks wrong. you either want uid=1000,gid=1000 or you want users, but not both
[00:38] <pillboxing> ty
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> pillboxing: do you have any username/password stuff on the share?
[00:38] <escott> !samba | pillboxing this should list some examples
[00:38] <pillboxing> I did sudo mount -a, and then dmesg | tail
[00:39] <duvi> hello
[00:39] <pillboxing> dmesg tail said there was no user specified
[00:39] <pillboxing> no parsnip
[00:39] <domo1> just filed a security bug at ubuntu over the SSH issue I was having
[00:39] <domo1> hopefully I foun dsomething that will be fixed!
[00:39] <domo1> :)
[00:43] <superdave321> ActionParsnip: how would I use ppa-purge to accomplish my goal here?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> superdave321: sudo ppa-purge ppa:addressofppayouadded
[00:44] <superdave321> Thanks
[00:44] <Shojo> To make a process start at login, what file should i add to Startup?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: there is a startup items item in dash
[00:46] <Shojo> you mean boot in /?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: if its just an app which you can run in dash, you can simply symlink the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.conf/autostart folder
[00:47] <pillboxing> so there's no way of adding an entry to the fstab with guest permissions and set to all
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> pillboxing: i'm sure there is, just nobody knows rigt now....
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: what do you want to add?
[00:47] <Shojo> i don;t know symlinking. I want to know what type of file to add in the Startup processes GUI
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: the startup app GUI lets you define the command to run at startup and makes the desktop file for you :)
[00:50] <pillboxing> apparently smbfs is > cifs
[00:50] <Shojo> fail2ban, i know it's in /use/share/fail2ban but i don't know which file to use as startup only allows one file
[00:50] <skypce> guys what is the channel of gtk css?
[00:51] <Shojo> i mean which is the process initiating file
[00:52] <Zx432> how do I get a ethernet card to work?
[00:52] <Shojo> i didn't understand the "makes the dektop file  for you" part
[00:52] <Zx432> system recognises it
[00:52] <Zx432> but i have no connection
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: what do you want to add to startup?
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> Zx432: you'll find the OS will nearly ALWAYS recognise the hardware, doesn't mean it will work
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> Zx432: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[00:57] <Shojo> because it's a firewall process
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: doesn't that run as a process without need to add it to the startup manually?
[00:59] <Shojo> it doesn't appear to be. and it has no daemon
[01:00] <therealdod> https://nolikebutton.jottit.com/
[01:00] <therealdod> New campaign
[01:00] <pillboxing> finally got it mounted lol
[01:00] <therealdod> Any comments?
[01:00] <pillboxing> /<IP_ADDRESS>/Scripts  /media/LS cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[01:00] <therealdod> I dont know many people who use facebook
[01:00] <therealdod> but the idea is solid
[01:00] <pillboxing> that in fstab worked, nothing else ever did
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: if you run:  grep fail2 /usr/share/applications/*     do you get any output?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> therealdod: how is that related to ubuntu support?
[01:01] <mkultra> anyone home?
[01:02] <Shojo> ActionParsnip: no
[01:02] <mkultra> hello ubuntu
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> Shojo: gah, then the startup items app will add the command for you
[01:03] <skypce> guys how can i set a background-color:transparent in gtk 3?
[01:03] <mkultra> i cant wait till 12.04 comes out
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> mkultra: you can use it in Beta prerelease if you feel brave :)
[01:04] <^Satan^> quick question: It's possible to remove Unity entirely, right? And only have Gnome or KDE or whatever instead?
[01:04] <mkultra> i do have my pc setup to format rather well
[01:04] <ubuntu> k
[01:04] <mkultra> yeah satan
[01:04] <^Satan^> cool
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> ^Satan^: unity is a shell for Gnome, you already have gnome installed
[01:04] <mkultra> u can remove gnome entirely and install xfce or fluxbox if your brave
[01:04] <aaronh5> What does the command "export bash" do? I can't use any commands now that I did that
[01:05] <^Satan^> I want to keep gnome, but ditch unity
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> ^Satan^: will help: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/

[01:09] <wolfmitchell> Hello, on Ubuntu Server 11.10, I am getting 'sudo: must be setuid root' when I run a sudo apt-get install. Any help?
[01:09] <Wilson2bw> @ActionP > Im trying to use Pidgin with this news group on Freenode.net
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> ^Satan^: I'd say intel personally
[01:09] <orionsonofneptun> well my eyes need fixed son
[01:09] <Wilson2bw> and Im not getting anywhere
[01:09] <itsmee> h00k, no, that's not what happened, i tried to manually add the windows entry to the grub trough a programme called boot-fix and now it says that there is something missing, it's not the case which is exposed in the forum
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> Wilson2bw: which newsgroup?
[01:09] <^Satan^> at a minimum it'd have to be able to run double-headed, twin 1920x1080 displays
[01:10] <Wilson2bw> meaning, I can chat directly with people in the list , but not in the main window
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> ^Satan^: intel more than likely, intel give a lot to Linux
[01:10] <^Satan^> preferably at a refresh rate of 100 hz
[01:10] <wolfmitchell> Ok, thats for every sudo command.
[01:10] <Wilson2bw> Right now im chatting using some webbased chat
[01:10] <h00k> Wilson2bw: you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic. /join #ubuntu-offtopic

[01:10] <h00k> itsmee: that grub2 recover wiki page can assist you reinstall grub from a live disk
[01:11] <orionsonofneptun> any ideas what action to take
[01:11] <hiexpo> sudo su
[01:11] <bikcmp> does anyone know of any web based media player?

[01:12] <wolfmitchell> I'll just see if I can use Grub to change my pas
[01:12] <bikcmp> ActionParsnip: all i'm seeing is stuff to 'control' it.
[01:12] <pillboxing> I miss the old gnome, I would never have updated from ubuntu 9.04 if  I knew what I was in for
[01:13] <bikcmp> i don't want to control it, i want to watch it. :P
[01:13] <marco2000> hook, sorry my ignorance, I'm talking about the interface that comes with gnome 3 by default
[01:13] <wolfmitchell> s/pas/pass  s/my/the root
[01:13] <Pirsch> Hi all. I would like to build my own custom ubuntu. I want to remove things like Gwibber and Ubuntu Software Center. I've tried but end up with no GUI. Is there a way?
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> bikcmp: so you want to be ableto watch media in a web browser from your local PC
[01:13] <bikcmp> yeah.
[01:13] <bikcmp> from a server.
[01:13] <h00k> marco2000: okay, the one that comes on Ubuntu by default is the shell Unity, Gnome has a shell called gnome-shell
[01:13] <bikcmp> hm
[01:13] <bikcmp> actually
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> not sure, but i'm tired. Gotta jet
[01:13] <bikcmp> know what
[01:13] <bikcmp> ActionParsnip: maybe.
[01:13] <h00k> marco2000: both run on Gnome3, though.
[01:13] <h00k> !ati | marco2000 this may help
[01:14] <zykotick9> Pirsch: i'd suggest starting from mini and installing what you want
[01:14] <marco2000> hook, thanks
[01:14] <Fwenter> Has anyone gotten a Cisco AE1200 wireless USB card to work?
[01:14] <^Satan^> h00k, how does one go about removing the Unity shell entirely? So it's not sitting on my hard drive taking up space?
[01:14] <Fwenter> the chipset is a Broadcom BCM43235
[01:14] <willijs3> pillboxing Me too. I want studio and xfce, but this latest release isn't the best.
[01:14] <Pirsch> zykotick9, I tried this but couldn't get the LveCd to boot, even into a shell.
[01:14] <zykotick9> Pirsch: and avoid the metapackage ;)
[01:15] <h00k> ^Satan^: probably 'sudo apt-get remove unity'
[01:15] <zykotick9> Pirsch: livecd? where does that come in?  are you trying to do a custom livecd or install?  if it's livecd i have no idea!
[01:16] <Pirsch> zykotick9, I remember downloading and burning Ubuntu mini to a LiveCd. I expected it would install into the ram and then at least give me a console to work with. But it didn't work.
[01:17] <NeWGuy__> dit you try Alt-F1, or F2 or F3 . . .
[01:17] <Pirsch> zykotick9, I wouldn't be surprised if you told me I was going about it the wrong way. :)
[01:17] <Wilson2bw> Not sure I understand this; <ActionParsnip> Wilson2bw: main wind, select to message a user then type:  #ubuntu
[01:17] <itsmee> omg i don't get anything of the community page, they are using tools and commands that i don't know for the grub, and i can't figure out how to proceed and wha'ts the problem
[01:17] <pillboxing> /<IP_ADDRESS>/Scripts  /media/LS cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[01:17] <willijs3> Or does anyone know if I can upgrade to Studio from Xubuntu?
[01:18] <h00k> Wilson2bw: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:18] <pillboxing> I can't save files on that damn share
[01:18] <pillboxing> I just changed permissions, do I need to change that uid?
[01:18] <Pirsch> willijs3, I've upgraded ubuntu to studio before just through synaptic. I simply checked all packages with 'studio' in the name
[01:19] <zykotick9> Pirsch: mini isn't a livecd (it's a netinstall, basically the d-i install actually) - i'm not sure if it's a hybrid cd/usb or not?  prehaps someone else could confirm/deny?  if it isn't then perhaps unetbootin?
[01:19] <Wilson2bw> hook? where do I type that in Pidgin?
[01:19] <itsmee> any hand with the grub?
[01:19] <Pirsch> zykotick9, ok, as expected, I'm way off on this. Do you know of a site that could get me started/guide me?
[01:19] <h00k> Wilson2bw: in the chat window, where you type things to me
[01:19] <wolfmitchell> willijs3: Just get taskse, then use sudo tasksel, look for tone generation and video generation.
[01:20] <wolfmitchell> *tasksel
[01:20] <zykotick9> Pirsch: no suggestion come to mind? sorry...
[01:20] <Pirsch> zykotick9, ok, that's fine. Knowing I was doing it wrong is the first and most important step. Thanks.
[01:20] <tomi_> Hello all!
[01:21] <tomi_> I'm very-very new here^^
[01:21] <itsmee> any help with the grub problem please? :-(
[01:21] <pooltable> help set up an hp50 emu ??
[01:21] <willijs3> wolfmitchell that's an option.
[01:22] <zykotick9> Pirsch: the mini install has a REALLY cool tasksel (choose what to install) at the beginning i was impressed
[01:22] <wolfmitchell> They are seperate options. Select and install them.
[01:22] <zykotick9> Pirsch: the colour was terrible, but that's another issue ;)
[01:22] <pillboxing> guys, how can test why I  can't write to a mounted smb share?
[01:23] <willijs3> wolfmitchell is Xubuntu good for audio/ video production though
[01:23] <Pirsch> zykotick9, is this the right place to start? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[01:23] <wolfmitchell> Yeah.
[01:23] <wolfmitchell> Just get those.
[01:23] <gmclean> network-manager asks for my wireless password every time even though i've checked "enable for all users" and "activate on startup" or whatever those options are called. on 11.10
[01:23] <wolfmitchell> Getting those in tasksel even changes the bootsplash to the one Studio has.
[01:23] <willijs3> wolfmitchell ok thanks for the help.
[01:23] <wolfmitchell> Welcome.
[01:24] <wolfmitchell> *Your welcome
[01:24] <itsmee> guys i'm really strugling with grub2, any help?
[01:24] <bazhang> itsmee, check the grub2 wiki
[01:24] <zykotick9> Pirsch: yes.  Why doesn't that page mention USB?  do you have a cd?
[01:24] <bazhang> !grub2 | itsmee
[01:24] <iankp> Is there a way to enter text in X from the command line? I want to send the result of zbar, to make it act like a real scanner.
[01:25] <elijah> Hey guys, I accidentally installed Klipper before and then did a purge and autoremove after that but it only removed <1MB of the >160MB it installed. How can I uninstall the remaining KDE'ish packages? I have instructions here for removing most of the packages but for instance, I know qt4-docs were installed by manually inspection of the /var/cache/apt/archives folder and looking at all the *.debs downloaded in that time frame.
[01:25] <Pirsch> zykotick9, this isn't where I got the ISO image before. I'll start fresh.
[01:25] <itsmee> bazhang, i can't find help in there, i have an specific problem that is not listed on those pages :-(
[01:25] <Wilson2bw> h00k are you there?
[01:25] <elijah> *oops "here" means this --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome
[01:25] <bazhang> itsmee, then you need to ask a very clear and specific question
[01:26] <elijah> Is there a way to remove all packages that were installed during a specific time frame?
[01:26] <elijah> I have a list of all the debs I want to remove
[01:26] <Wilson2bw> anyone here using PIDGIN?
[01:27] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, whats the question
[01:27] <hiexpo> pidgen is kool
[01:27] <itsmee> bazhang: i tried to fix my grub trough an application listed on those pages, and i put something called the mbr on the windows partition, thinking that that would make the windows partition reappear on the grub. the thing is that now it says something like ''Mqar is missing'', and grub does not load
[01:27] <pillboxing> guys how can I get an error message for why I can't save a file on a mounted share
[01:27] <Fraz> hi
[01:27] <Fraz> what's a PPA?
[01:28] <zykotick9> !ppa | Fraz
[01:28] <itsmee> bazhang, i honestly don't know what i did
[01:28] <Wilson2bw> bazhang - trying to chat you
[01:28] <Fraz> cheers
[01:28] <hiexpo> !ppa
[01:28] <bazhang> itsmee, what application listed on those pages, pastebin the exact error messages and give us the url
[01:28] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:29] <hiexpo> hola bazhang
[01:29] <itsmee> bazhang: that's gonna be diffiicult, cause i can only run in a live cd, i don't have acces to the hd windows nor linux ubuntu partition. the app was boot-repair, it is listed on that page that you gave me, from there i picked it up
[01:30] <Wilson2bw> ya, trying to chat you personally
[01:30] <Wilson2bw> this group is to busy
[01:30] <Wilson2bw> Bazhang
[01:30] <Fraz> i want to move the unity bar to the bottom like in windows. any suggestions?
[01:30] <iceheart> Good news everyone! I got a jump drive. =D
[01:30] <[deXter]> You mean a flash drive?
[01:30] <iceheart> Same thing.
[01:30] <hiexpo> hey bazhang where's  your ole  buddy   idleone ?
[01:30] <[deXter]> For a sec I thought you were talking about a ZIP drive.
[01:30] <rap424> can anyone help with a sendmail problem?
[01:30] <iceheart> Been two days but finally got ubuntu reinstalling. ^^
[01:30] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, you wish support? then please ask a support question, here in the channel, not via PM
[01:31] <bazhang> hiexpo, stay on topic, Please
[01:31] <iceheart> I've always called it a jump drive, because it jumps files from one computer to another.
[01:31] <Fwenter> I call it a flash drive because it uses flash memory technology
[01:31] <iceheart> Well I suppose if you want to be technical about it.
[01:32] <itsmee> bazhang, any idea about the grub?
[01:32] <Wilson2bw> bazhang > im trying to use THIS channel in Pidgin . I am typing this with MozillaChat.
[01:32] <iceheart> But that's like calling a wheelie bar a tuber wheel contraption or something. lol
[01:32] <rap424> anyone have any idea why emails are being received even if sendmail's queue is empty?
[01:32] <iceheart> Just ain't as catchy
[01:33] <rap424> are not being received*
[01:33] <Fwenter> Except computer hardware is almost always referred to technically
[01:33] <bazhang> itsmee, your issue is not at all clear, please go step by step through the grub2 wiki, then when you hit a step you do not know, or get an error, then pastebin that error
[01:33] <Wilson2bw> @Bazhang > I hate using this webbased chat.. It s hard to keep track of conversations
[01:33] <iceheart> True.
[01:33] <Fwenter> CPUs aren't called GetStuffDone-ers
[01:33] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, then use something else.
[01:33] <iceheart> No but they are often shortened to processors
[01:34] <Fwenter> and Flash Memory Data Drives are often shortened to Flash Drives
[01:34] <Wilson2bw> Baz//. Im trying to use PIDGIN
[01:34] <iceheart> Oh fine, be boring lol
[01:34] <Wilson2bw> instead of this webchat
[01:34] <Fwenter> Will do
[01:34] <[deXter]> Wilson2bw, heh, I thought baz;// was a new protocol!
[01:35] <iceheart> oh good my installation is done ^^
[01:35] <iceheart> My laptop lives again!
[01:35] <pillboxing> so guys
[01:35] <Wilson2bw> ya, I hate using this web based chat, rather be using Pidgin
[01:35] <hiexpo> hiexpo, reverts back to aircrack-ng & pentoo       >    forget  ubuntu  > bazhang  is the boss
[01:35] <Wilson2bw> but it's not working
[01:35] <bazhang> Wilson2bw, then learn some of the pidgin commands? #pidgin is here on freenode, and they're website (along with docs) is at pidgin.im
[01:35] <pillboxing> touch /media/LS/ab.iss gives an access denied error
[01:35] <pillboxing> /<IP_ADDRESS>/Scripts  /media/LS cifs  guest,uid=toby,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[01:35] <Fwenter> Wilson2bw: In "account settings" add a new account, set it to IRC, and connect. Buddies > Join Chat > #ubuntu
[01:35] <pillboxing> that's the mount as it's defined, what do I need to change that uid to?
[01:36] <itsmee> bazhang, shouldn't the default password of the live cd be a blank space, because it ask me for one and i hit enter but it doesn't accept it
[01:36] <itsmee> ?
[01:36] <hiexpo> don't fuck with me bazhang
[01:39] <itsmee> what's the default password for the live cd?
[01:39] <bazhang> itsmee, there is none
[01:39] <Faryshta> itsmee, there is no password.
[01:39] <Faryshta> itsmee, where is it asking you for password?
[01:40] <itsmee> the why does it says, ubuntu is not on the sudoers file, this incident will be reported
[01:40] <itsmee> Faryshta, i am doing command line operations on the live cd to restore grub. i went to users, and added ''ubuntu'' to the sudo group
[01:40] <itsmee> but still doesn't wotk
[01:41] <gmclean> network-manager asks for my wireless password every time even though i've checked "enable for all users" and "activate on startup" or whatever those options are called. on 11.10
[01:42] <Faryshta> itsmee, I dont get you. The 'ubuntu' user have all the root permissions like installing software. You are not supposed to use 'sudo' AFAIK.
[01:42] <itsmee> Faryshta, the why does it say that on the command line?
[01:42] <itsmee> Faryshta, ubuntu is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[01:43] <hspcd> anybody got a minute?
[01:43] <Fraz> can someone help me out with this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher
[01:43] <Fraz> step 4, uh?
[01:44] <Faryshta> itsmee, which is the command you are using?
[01:45] <Faryshta> itsmee, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD#Setting_a_Password
[01:48] <itsmee> Faryshta, any command in  sudo, it won't work. my god, not even the password changer worked
[01:48] <gmclean> my god!
[01:49] <gmclean> maybe you're not a sudoer
[01:49] <moes> itsmee, Try gksu instead of dudo
[01:49] <itsmee> gmclean, i tried to manually add it, but it doesn't work
[01:49] <gmclean> you have to use visudo
[01:49] <gmclean> iirc
[01:50] <gmclean> haha, which you need root permissions for
[01:50] <rap424> anyone have any idea why sendmail wouldn't be sending email even though it is running?
[01:50] <gmclean> i guess if you don't have root it's going to be pretty hard to obtain...
[01:50] <itsmee> gmclean, to restore grub
[01:50] <gmclean> well you want to do that offa cd anyway
[01:51] <itsmee> gmclean, please somebody shot me cause i'm running out of ideas, the gksudo didn't work either
[01:51] <gmclean> whoa you were shot!? you should go to a hospital!
[01:51] <gmclean> i mean, i assume you're installing grub to the mbr
[01:51] <gmclean> if that's the case you want to boot off cd
[01:52] <gmclean> "try ubuntu" or whatever
[01:52] <gmclean> open a terminal, mount your / partition, chroot, reinstall grub, grub-install <device> and then update-grub, should be ok after that.
[01:52] <itsmee> gmclean, i have to completely reinstall the grub2, don't ask why, just screwed everytginf
[01:52] <gmclean> i think
[01:53] <gmclean> i didn't ask why, although i will say that beggars can't be choosers
[01:53] <gmclean> anyway good luck gtg
[01:53] <itsmee> gmclean, yes, but we come to the main axioma, how do i get sudo privileges?
[01:53] <itsmee> i'm philosophal
[01:53] <gmclean> if you boot off cd you shouldn't be able to run sudo and i think the password can be left blank
[01:53] <lazarus_> what would be coool is if they could incroperate update manager into software center
[01:53] <gmclean> if it even asks
[01:54] <gmclean> you can just sudo -i
[01:54] <gmclean> boom root shell
[01:54] <itsmee> gmclean, i leave it blank, it doesn't work
[01:54] <itsmee> gmclean, check out the output for the last command: ubuntu is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[01:54] <donsd> What is a crontab entry for every 15 minutes on the hour. I thought 00/15 would work but it does not. 00,15,30,45 probably works, but ...
[01:55] <donsd> Is there a command like 00/15 that works?
[01:55] <itaylor57> lazarus_, it has already been done, i.e. synaptic lol
[01:56] <enchilado> A wild Tux appears.
[01:56] <johnathanjinger> hey all
[01:56] <lazarus_> itaylor57: no i mean code software center to handle updates
[01:56] <omabena> hello I got an Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n  I'm having issues to make it work with ubuntu 11.10, there are know issues with this hardware?
[01:56] <itsmee> enchilado: have you eaten chile or something?

[01:57] <johnathanjinger> is there a way to make this alot faster
[01:57] <zykotick9> !broadcom | omabena
[01:57] <enchilado> itsmee: not today..
[01:57] <itsmee> enchilado, lol
[01:59] <spacebarbarian> how do I create a user that only can access svn+ssh, just make shell /bin/false ?
[01:59] <pillboxing> so guys, I have the smb share on windows set to allow the user guest and everyone to to write
[02:00] <pillboxing> I'm getting 755 as stats on stat /media/LS

[02:01] <[deXter]> Sorry, wrong number.
[02:01] <pillboxing> but touch /media/LS/ab.iss is reutrning permissions denied
[02:01] <anonymous6> lol
[02:01] <hopstafarian> hi all..
[02:01] <anonymous6> i have a problem
[02:01] <pillboxing> I can't figure out why, is cifs bugged?
[02:01] <anonymous6> anyone care to help?
[02:01] <bazhang> anonymous6, ask the channel
[02:01] <anonymous6> ok
[02:02] <[deXter]> anonymous6, No one can help you if you don't ask the question. :P
[02:02] <pillboxing> sigh
[02:02] <omabena> zykotick9, already did that didn't work
[02:02] <anonymous6> ok so like i have a problem with wine, everytime i click on the executable it won't bring up the wizard it just hangs and quits
[02:03] <hopstafarian> pillboxing, bugged how..?...
[02:03] <pillboxing> idk man, it's not writing any files
[02:03] <bazhang> anonymous6, for what game check the appdb
[02:03] <bazhang> !appdb | anonymous6
[02:03] <anonymous6> actually it is utorrent to a game
[02:03] <bazhang>  /join #winehq for specific apps anonymous6
[02:03] <anonymous6> ok
[02:04] <pillboxing> touch is returning permission denied, sudo touch is returning permission denied
[02:04] <omabena> zykotick9, it just keeps asking me for password, over an over
[02:05] <pillboxing> I gave guest full permissions on source box, and also everyone group full permissions, so I can only put it down to cifs being bugged
[02:05] <zykotick9> omabena: sorry, i don't have anything to add.  i don't have any broadcom hardware.  good luck.
[02:05] <omabena> zykotick9, ok thanks
[02:05] <Smashcat> Hi, anyone got a recommendation for a good gui app to connect to a samba server from Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[02:05] <omabena> I'm having problems connecting my Broadcam wireless card with ubuntu 11.10, any help please
[02:07] <pillboxing> how can I debug my issue? do I have to add something to the fstab? or how can I figure out of cifs is bugged or if my permissions are setup wrong on source box
[02:08] <johnathanjinger> anyone have any clue why my ftp server might be so slow
[02:09] <omabena> well I'm going back to fedora
[02:09] <omabena> laters
[02:09] <Smashcat> bb
[02:10] <johnanthan> sorry about that
[02:10] <hopstafarian> omabena, fedora is pretty solid, i have to say...
[02:11] <hopstafarian> omabena, run and like both...
[02:11] <johnanthan> so i've set up vsftp on my ubuntu server and anytime i try uploading a file to it, it seems to cap out at around 300kb/s any idea why this might be?
[02:11] <pillboxing> I'm thinking I might have to go a different distro too, unity is unusable for me, and kde can't use samba shares properly
[02:11] <Smashcat> First time I've used Linux on the desktop in years (been using it in servers for almost 20 years) - it's come a long way :-) Nice and quick on this laptop with a SSD, but have to  reinstall windows7 on it tomorrow ;-(
[02:12] <Flumpy> Hey guys, I have an interesting problem. I recently built a new computer with a 2TB HDD (partitioned 1TB for Win8, 1TB for Ubuntu) and a 32GB SSD for Windows' System Reserved and Ubuntu's /boot. Except my computer doesn't boot into Grub, it goes straight to the Win8 loader.
[02:12] <hopstafarian> Flumpy, did you check the bios?
[02:12] <roasted> Question - is there a way to set up Deja Dup so it backs up at a very specific time, instead of randomly once a day or once a week?
[02:12] <wiky> omabena, you may add "blacklist acer-wmi" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf,and restart your system
[02:13] <Flumpy> hopstafarian, yes, Grub is installed on /dev/sda which is the SSD
[02:13] <omabena> wiky, what that blacklist thing it's for?
[02:13] <Flumpy> and the SSD is first in the boot order
[02:14] <talalala> hey
[02:14] <talalala> what advantages does ubuntu have over windows xp?
[02:15] <Flumpy> If you're not interested in playing games, or doing work at home, everything.
[02:15] <wiky> omabena, i don't know clearly,but it solved my wireless problem.if it doesn't help,you can delete it
[02:15] <meomic> does anyone have stability problems that started to happen like week ago? - im using ubuntu 10.10 x86-64 - like screen is dimming so fast and no more response from pc - need to power off
[02:15] <johnanthan> talalala it's free for one, and no licensing costs, as well as open source
[02:15] <omabena> wiky, ok thanks I'll give it a shot
[02:15] <cn28h> I'd like to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10 (with 11.04 in between if required), but Update Manager doesn't show the option (I assume because these aren't LTS?). Can I still do the old "aptitude dist-upgrade" or is that no longer considered good?
[02:16] <johnanthan> talalala and can do pretty much everything windows can do if used as a server
[02:16] <jrib> !upgrade | cn28h
[02:16] <WilsonBradley> anyone using Pidgin/
[02:16] <Flumpy> cn28h, I believe you type "update-manager -d" or something similar in the terminal
[02:16] <WilsonBradley> ?
[02:16] <zykotick9> cn28h: you might want to wait for 12.04 to be release and take advantage of LTS->LTS upgrade, if update now...
[02:17] <R3db3ard> cn28h, yes you can still apt-get upgrade to 11.04 then again to 11.10
[02:17] <bazhang> WilsonBradley, whats the specific issue
[02:17] <R3db3ard> I still use 11.04
[02:17] <cn28h> hmm
[02:17] <WilsonBradley> im using Pidgin 2.10.1 (libpurple 2.10.1)
[02:18] <bazhang> WilsonBradley, any question in there?
[02:18] <WilsonBradley> and when I type in a channel the bottom text doesn't show
[02:19] <pillboxing> Hi guys, can anyone here please help me with an smb shaare issue?
[02:19] <cn28h> Flumpy, cool, with -d it's offering me the 12.04 beta which works for me :D
[02:19] <WilsonBradley> not able to see what I type
[02:19] <omabena> hopstafarian, well it's not use the switch my wireless cards it's not supported on fedora either
[02:19] <WilsonBradley> but
[02:19] <WilsonBradley> in a direct chat in Pidgin it works
[02:20] <R3db3ard> pillboxing, please ask your question.
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> hello?
[02:21] <dr_willis> jello!
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> Anyone Imn also haveing problems with Google
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> account
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> in pidgin
[02:22] <Flumpy> Does anyone have any ideas as to why Windows would boot instead of Grub (I installed Ubuntu after Windows)? Or should I just try something more drastic like uninstalling Windows?
[02:23] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  grub dident get put on  the same hd you are booting. it may have failed to load, windows av removed it..
[02:23] <dr_willis> or booting the wrong hd..
[02:23] <dr_willis> !qfixgrub
[02:23] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[02:23] <Flumpy> dr_willis, I'm pretty sure it's on the right hdd, but I'll double check though. Thanks.
[02:24] <skypce> hello guysw
[02:24] <dr_willis> you can also make grub install to a hd, and a spare usb flash. you could then boot the flash if needed
[02:24] <skypce> what is the rgba transparent background color?
[02:25] <donsd> What is a crontab entry for every 15 minutes on the hour. I thought 00/15 would work but it does not. 00,15,30,45 probably works, but ...
[02:25] <donsd> Is there a command like 00/15 that works?
[02:26] <hopstafarian> donsd, * 15 * *?
[02:26] <dr_willis> !cron
[02:27] <donsd> hopstafarian, wouldn
[02:27] <donsd> t that be 3:00pm?
[02:28] <dr_willis> i always just have to google cron examples.. ;) i rarely use cron
[02:28] <hopstafarian> donsd, yes...but asterisk for the rest, and 15 in the appropriate mins slot..
[02:29] <donsd> dr_willis, I've been googling, but most examples show */15, which I do not think would be 00 15 30 45.
[02:29] <hopstafarian> donsd, so 15 * * * */
[02:29] <hopstafarian> ?
[02:30] <dr_willis> try it and see i guess.. wonder if theres a cron simulator web site. )
[02:30] <donsd> hopstafarian, that would be 15 after the hour only, I think.
[02:30] <hopstafarian> donsd, or is it not every fifteen on the hour?
[02:30] <hopstafarian> donsd, sorry, i didn't unnestand the question then..
[02:31] <Flumpy> Does Grub generate log files that I could check from a live cd/usb to see if it's failing?
[02:31] <donsd> 00,15,30,45 * * * * xxx works.  I was just curious.
[02:31] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  not that ive ever noticed..
[02:31] <masen> */15 * * * * * should be every 15 mins
[02:32] <masen> i'm using that all over the place
[02:32] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  the grub installer can print out error messages if thats what you mean
[02:32] <donsd> masen, yes, but not exactly 00, 15, or is it?
[02:32] <Flumpy> dr_willis, no Grub installs fine to the correct hdd, Windows just boots instead for some reason.
[02:33] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  check bios for av/mbr  protection. also try putting grub o a spare small usb flash
[02:34] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  what device are you installing grub onto?
[02:35] <masen> donsd: interesting, i believe you are correct
[02:35] <masen> specifying all of the times as you have will be exact
[02:36] <pillboxing> so guys, can someone please help me debug an smb share permission issue?
[02:36] <zenith> hello, windows has dissappeared from my grub 2 loader and i have tried a hundrer and fifty kabillion things but they don't work, help please (also, i have followed the forum page, but still)
[02:36] <donsd> masen I'm sure there is a command for say every ten minutes at :12, 22 etc.
[02:36] <Flumpy> dr_willis: /dev/sda, which is a 32GB SSD first in the bios boot order. All of Ubuntu is on /dev/sdb2
[02:36] <cookie> zenith: you lost everyting. delete it and move on
[02:37] <dr_willis> Flumpy:  if linux is all on sdb. you could put grub on sdb and tall bios to boot that.  thats how i do it
[02:37] <masen> donsd: it seems like 0-59/15 * * * * * would work as all
[02:37] <dr_willis> cookie:  dont be rude
[02:37] <zenith> cookie, i haven't lost anything because i can see my windows partition still
[02:37] <zenith> from linux
[02:37] <Flumpy> dr_willis: oh... I'll try that, thanks
[02:37] <cookie> dr_willis: wut u talkin' bout willis
[02:37] <masen> for every 10 minutes offset by 2: 2-59/10 * * * *
[02:38] <bazhang> !guidelines > cookie
[02:38] <cookie> zenith: format your hd and recover the data, in that order
[02:38] <bazhang> cookie, thats enough
[02:38] <dr_willis> zenith:  you made a custome entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? thats one way
[02:38] <cookie> bazhnang: lo siento
[02:38] <bazhang> zenith, ignore what he is saying
[02:38] <zenith> cookie, i think you are the next thing that goes aftet sarcasm
[02:38] <zenith> bazhang, i know lol
[02:39] <zenith> dr_willis, yes, i think i did, let me show you what i used
[02:40] <zenith> dr_willis, http://www.ubuntu-es.org/node/145664?destination=node%2F145664
[02:40] <zenith> it is in spanish, but still
[02:40] <dr_willis> i often use a custom entry, then disable os-prober because i normally dont want to see the windows restore entries and so forth
[02:41] <zykotick9> dr_willis: only drawback to that method is kernel updates in gnu/linux ;)
[02:42] <dr_willis> zenith:  you seem to have no custome entry. and os-prober is not seeing aznything
[02:42] <zenith> dr_willis, i have no idea of what you told me, could you explain me a little more?
[02:43] <cookie> hey guys, i rm -f my root directory
[02:43] <cookie> wut do
[02:43] <dr_willis> the 40_custom file lets you make a specific enttty for whatever you want. find a example entry for windows. and put it in the 40_custom file.  rerun update-grub
[02:43] <donsd> masen I will experiment, using your suggestions.
[02:43] <cookie> anyone?
[02:44] <masen> cookie: try in a vm?
[02:44] <cookie> :(
[02:44] <cookie> try wut in a vm?
[02:44] <bazhang> cookie, enough nonsense
[02:44] <masen> rm -r /
[02:44] <cookie> i already did though, my comp is pooped. wut do?
[02:44] <dr_willis> please  dont feed the trolls.
[02:44] <cookie> bazhang: im being cereal
[02:44] <masen> dr_willis: how do you silence a user on irc?
[02:45] <danny> hello ubuntu is significantly slower internet then when im on my windows side what should i do ?
[02:45] <zenith> dr_willis, where exactly is the 40_ custom file?
[02:45] <dr_willis> zenith:  you made a custome entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? thats one way
[02:45] <cookie> danny: rm -f /
[02:45] <dr_willis> zenith:  its mentioned i the grub2 docs also
[02:45] <cookie> in your ubuntu terminal
[02:45] <dr_willis> !grub2
[02:45] <cookie> remember to use sudo
[02:45] <danny> cookie: what does that do ?
[02:45]  * hopstafarian begs of in lieu of dinner..
[02:45] <zenith> omg cookie get out
[02:46] <zenith> don't listen danny
[02:46] <bazhang> danny, ignore him, he's gone
[02:46] <zenith> don't do that
[02:46] <danny> i thought that looked like a very bad command
[02:46] <danny> but if anyone has any suggestions im hear to listen
[02:47] <dr_willis> danny:  i dont even recall the problem
[02:47] <masen> danny: slower how? do pages load slower, or is browsing a loaded page sluggish?
[02:48] <webnet> bazhang, ty he was beginning to annoy
[02:49] <roasted> Question - if I am pushing a backup to my file server, would that file server be looked at as actively running? I'm curious... if I set it so my file server will suspend within 1 hour of inactivity... is that mouse/keyboard activity or does that include network activity too?
[02:49] <danny> all internet activty is much slower like enough to know it has to be the os cause usually os realy doesnt have an effect on internet but on the same comupter in the same chair in my house when im on my windows side it runs fine but on ubuntu its very sluggish like sometimes tells me software center cant conect to internet and update manager wont conecnt and sometimes web pages wont load
[02:49] <masen> are you connecting via ethernet?
[02:49] <danny> nope wifi
[02:50] <Whiskey> Is it possible to grep a software and print oout the information
[02:50] <Flumpy> roasted: my best guess is to say no, network activity doesn't count
[02:51] <jey> hi, Ubuntu seems to throttle my CPU heavily instead of running the fans when my machine is under high load. I'm running 11.10 oneiric on a Thinkpad Edge laptop. I'm using the sensors command from lm-sensors to monitor my temperature & fan speed
[02:51] <bearly230> Hello all. I was hoping you all could point me to a good guide for setting up an internet gateway using ubuntu 11.10.
[02:51] <danny> Whiskey: how can i do that ?
[02:51] <roasted> Flumpy: bummer. I'm trying to find a way to get my file server to kick off after it doesn't sense any network activity for a while :(
[02:51] <masen> danny: which version of ubuntu
[02:51] <jey> the fans seem to run at a constant speed regardless of load, but the cpu gets throttled severely
[02:51] <danny> masen: 11.10
[02:51] <dr_willis> !ics
[02:51] <bearly230> Thanks
[02:52] <masen> roasted: if you have a router or some other box on the network, you could use a Wake on Lan approach to wake the file server
[02:52] <Flumpy> roasted: Like turn off? You could probably write a script to do that, but I wouldn't be the correct authority for that sort of magic.
[02:52] <roasted> masen: router doesn't support it
[02:52] <masen> danny: try something like sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
[02:52] <Ystah> Hi, I'm new in linux/ubuntu, i'm trying to install this software http://keymouse.berlios.de, and I'm getting error when type ./autogen.sh
[02:52] <roasted> Flumpy: well, it'd be nice if I could control it to say, if no network activity (via rsync or samba moving data to it) for 15 minutes, put in suspend mode, etc.
[02:52] <masen> danny: this will disable power management on the interface which may be causing issues
[02:52] <dr_willis> wake on lan never seems to wirk for me
[02:52] <Ystah> someone can help?
[02:53] <roasted> dr_willis: what wake on lan utilities have you used?
[02:53] <iris> Hello, I'm having trouble with my Broadcom driver, it wont load any pages :s Can anyone help me?
[02:53] <dr_willis> roasted: several over the years. havent tried lately.
[02:54] <roasted> dr_willis: like actual software packages to do it? or router-based utilities?
[02:54] <Flumpy> roasted: And then resume when there is activity? Interesting thought. You may be able to mimic supsension/hibernation by powering down the disks and reducing clock speed with a script, but otherwise I dunno.
[02:54] <dr_willis> can wireless do wake on lan?
[02:54] <pup-0854> Iris, sync
[02:54] <pup-0854> Io
[02:54] <masen> i'm under the impression that WOL is unsupported on wireless
[02:55] <roasted> Flumpy: not really to resume when there's activity... more like... wake on lan @ 545 pm, then sync data at 6 pm, then power off if theres no activity for 15 mins
[02:55] <danny> masen, http://paste.ubuntu.com/882703/
[02:55] <roasted> Flumpy: so say it syncs data for 10 mins, then 15 mins of inactivity 625 it should suspend
[02:55] <roasted> dr_willis: I'm willing to bet WOL doesn't work if the target system is wireless. If you're using a laptop to WOL another system that's wired, I'd bet it would work.
[02:55] <roasted> dr_willis: educated guess
[02:55] <danny> masen: says it already off if u went to the same sight i did i have already tried this and it had no effect
[02:56] <dr_willis> with the other power saveing features of pcs these days. i doubt if an idle box is drawing much power. nit wirth it to suspend
[02:56] <roasted> dr_willis: yeah, I thought about that too.
[02:56] <roasted> dr_willis: I'm trying to be green with it. this file server is for my parents... I'd hate to drop a box in their basement that runs 247365 if they don't truly need it
[02:57] <masen> danny: were you experiencing this issue with a previous version? or is this the first?
[02:57] <roasted> dr_willis: especially since its not a gaming rig sucking power... its a pentium dual core box, 300w 80+ psu, and a single 7200 rpm hdd... no pci cards, optical drives, etc.
[02:57] <donsd> masen, all your suggestions were correct: */4 every 4 min 00 04 08, etc. 3-57/4 every 4 min 03,07,11 etc.
[02:57] <dr_willis> roasted:  ssh to it and use it. :)
[02:57] <roasted> dr_willis: what would me sshing to it have to do with anything?
[02:57] <masen> donsd: cool!
[02:58] <danny> masen: hmm i kinda reinstall ubuntu alot ha been trying diff distros and stuff like that and when i used 10.10 it was fine but i never used 11.o4
[02:58] <dr_willis> always usefull to have a spare box somewhere :)
[02:58] <roasted> dr_willis: I should get a watt meter...
[02:58] <Flumpy> roasted: It seems you might be able to use cron to wake from suspend, and probably to put it back into suspend as well. I imagine this would suite your needs?
[02:58] <roasted> and test it idle...
[02:59] <roasted> Flumpy: sounds like it, though extensive reading suggests theres no way to wake a system from dead sleep or suspend, that BIOS needs to initiate that.
[02:59] <roasted> Flumpy: I set the bios to turn this computer on 2 mins from earlier and it worked. I set it to turn on at 530 tonight but it never came on.... drat.
[02:59] <dr_willis> roasted:  i imagine their microwave takes 10x the powar. ;)
[02:59] <Rourick> help please i need a program to burn iso to usb in linux?
[03:00] <roasted> dr_willis: I wouldn't doubt it. But hey, if I can save a few bucks in power, I'd like to. they already have 6 computers in the house.
[03:00] <Flumpy> roasted: A very brief google returns something about rtcwake, a built-in kernel utility for waking an sleeping.
[03:00] <roasted> Flumpy: ah, I lied. I did hear about rtcwake... I forgot that one.
[03:00] <dr_willis> Rourick:  pendrive linux site has several tools. depends on the details
[03:01] <Rourick> im looking all i see is .exe files
[03:01] <Scott_S> Rourick: http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/unetbootin/UNetbootin/568/unetbootin-linux-568
[03:01] <roasted> dr_willis: kill a watt at radioshack for 25 bucks... going to grab one tomorrow.
[03:01] <Scott_S> Rourick: Simple chmod +x the executable then ./unetbootin-linux-568
[03:01] <Rourick> ok thanks
[03:01] <roasted> dr_willis: I reckon the box will uses 75 watts at idle...
[03:02] <dr_willis> roasted: yep. i need one of those also
[03:02] <dr_willis> roasted:  i would guess less.. but it may depend on the age of the bix
[03:03] <WilsonBradley> Hi asll
[03:03] <WilsonBradley> Hi All
[03:03] <roasted> dr_willis: at work I had a different system, but still a pentium dual core system, idle at 75
[03:03] <WilsonBradley> How is everyone?
[03:03] <roasted> dr_willis: P4 idled at like 140, and intel atom nettop idled at 2
[03:03] <dr_willis> pents are old. :)
[03:03] <WilsonBradley> Im so happy with Ubunut
[03:04] <dr_willis> roasted:  wonder what a cherry.pi uses.. :) id bet.1.
[03:04] <roasted> dr_willis: raspberry? :P
[03:04] <Flumpy> roasted: I came across lesswatts.org if all you're interested in is saving power.
[03:04] <diraol> Hi firends, on ubuntu 11.04 the wireless connections info was stored on ~/.gconf/system/networking. Where are this info on ubuntu 12.04?
[03:05] <WilsonBradley> Hello?
[03:05] <dr_willis> cant get any . so may as well call it a goosberry pi
[03:06] <roasted> Flumpy: good find... but I'm not sure I can squeeze any more out of that setup.... after all there's no expansion cards, no optical drive, no built in wireless or bluetooth, and no monitor plugged in
[03:06] <roasted> Flumpy: its literally psu, proc, ram, hdd
[03:06] <Flumpy> roasted: Well I dunno, but good luck.
[03:08] <masen> roasted: how did rtcwake work for you?
[03:08] <escott> diraol, dconf
[03:08] <roasted> masen: didn't have the chance to try it. the box in question is at my parents turned off, and its 11 at night. Just doing some resaerch for it tomorrow. :)
[03:09] <diraol> escot, dconf? That woudl be something like "~/.dconf"?
[03:10] <diraol> I found it! ~/.config/dconf
[03:11] <diraol> But there isn't a system or network folder.
[03:14] <Tibas> wow
[03:14] <mneptok> diraol: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 issues
[03:15] <diraol> mneptok, thanks! =)
[03:17] <Draconicus> Hi all. I'm having trouble getting Compiz working in gnome-classic in 11.10. I have already removed the notifications requirement in gnome-classic.session.
[03:18] <Draconicus> I have seen Compiz work correctly in Unity with this same hardware/driver configuration - in fact I didn't even shut down. I'm sure Compiz should be working.
[03:27] <Draconicus> The channel is quiet tonight.
[03:28] <Zac_o_O> that sounds like a line from a movie! :)
[03:28] <abe> how to install the onboard intel vga driver DH61DL & DH61WW series on ubuntu 10.04?
[03:31] <Draconicus> Welp, I deleted ubuntu.session and I have no idea how to get it back. :)
[03:32] <danny> how do i change the channel my wifi is on for example my droid can be changed from channel 1-11
[03:32] <trism> Draconicus: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-session;
[03:32] <Draconicus> trism: ...gnome-session contains the unity session file?
[03:33] <trism> Draconicus: yes
[03:33] <Draconicus> Yaknow, I thought I'd come into this channel with the pretense of ignorance, since that tends to get an answer quicker. The truth is, I've been using Ubuntu since Breezy.
[03:34] <Draconicus> Now I have to say that I am troubled by how little my years of Ubuntu experience are helping me with the strange issues I am encountering here in 11.10.
[03:35] <danny> Draconicus: i have allways gotten help just sometimes people dont know the answear so if u ask at multiple times during the day when different people are on ur bound to find ur answear but if u been with ubuntu that long then u know how far it has come and how many bugs have been worked out glad u stuck with it :D
[03:36] <Draconicus> danny: For every bug solved, a new one is created.
[03:37] <Draconicus> I'd love to know what I can't start a barebones desktop session with nothing but a terminal, and still can't start Compiz without it hanging - not crashing... just hanging.
[03:37] <Draconicus> That... sentence got away from me a bit.
[03:38] <danny> Draconicus: sry ha but still glad u got stuck with it
[03:39] <Draconicus> Maybe I'll just push to the 12.04 beta. Oneiric is starting to look like another Feisty.
[03:39] <WilsonBradley> 12.04 works nice with Compiz
[03:40] <Draconicus> Oh goodie.
[03:40] <WilsonBradley> After install, had to update Compiz to weekly build, drivers, and  latest Unity
[03:40] <danny> Draconicus: i just reverted back to 11.10 but u go for it there are bugs though more so then 11.10
[03:41] <WilsonBradley> OK, im using Pidgin, seems to crash when I try to enable google account. Also IRC Channel window  Like this one, I can't read what I type. the bottom bar is to thin to read.
[03:41] <Draconicus> danny, do you know what it means when I rip out all of compiz's config files, completely remove all packages, purge unity for good measure, start a bare terminal session from lightdm and type "compiz --replace" only to watch it choke and hang - not crash but just sit there?
[03:41] <Draconicus> (I reinstalled the compiz packages after the purge, of course)
[03:42] <danny> Draconicus: ha i have used compiz many times there is a reason they are puting a warning on it now i just dont mess with it anymore unless i know for a fact it will work well or i try it first on my test computer
[03:43] <Draconicus> danny: It didn't need a warning before Unity.
[03:43] <Draconicus> Who remembers Beryl? I was there for Beryl. That was rock-solid stable.
[03:43] <WilsonBradley> I remember Beryl
[03:44] <Draconicus> Without Beryl, Emerald's icon seems less... meaningful.
[03:44] <WilsonBradley> seemed like Beryl=Compiz
[03:44] <Draconicus> If you can even get Emerald working.
[03:44] <iheartubuntu> hello! i have 11.10 on two computers. one computer i see a full menu (compose,check mail, etc) when i right click "thunderbird" in my app launcher, but another computer its a very short list. the first computer also shows me how many unread messages i have. how do i get the app luancher on 2nd computer to match 1st computer?
[03:44] <Draconicus> Beryl got a lot of texture effects working before rejoining the group. You can thank Beryl for wobbly windows.
[03:44] <WilsonBradley> Whats the best chat client?
[03:44] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: I have been using X-Chat for years. I lurves it.
[03:45] <iheartubuntu> WilsonBradley - many people will say xchat, but i like the built in IRC chat in Pidgin
[03:45] <WilsonBradley> I coudlnt get things working in xvhat
[03:45] <danny> Draconicus: yeh i agree completly i dont agree with unity i am starting to use gnome 3 but its brand new and that means they gotta restart quite alot of stuff maybe try getting back an old version of gnome i bet that might fix ur issues
[03:45] <WilsonBradley> xchat
[03:45] <Draconicus> Watch out for "X-Chat Gnome". That is completely different. It's like X-Chat for babies or something.
[03:45] <iheartubuntu> Empathy also can handle IRC
[03:45] <Draconicus> danny: I'm an Xfce fan, myself.
[03:45] <roasted> Anybody know if there's a way to Wake On LAN a system on the network at a specific time with something like gwakeuplan, etc?
[03:46] <WilsonBradley> I tried Xchat
[03:46] <WilsonBradley> something didn't work about it
[03:46] <danny> Draconicus: i agree compelty but gnome 3 has some realy interesting ui still bit buggy but as far as stabilty x is the way to go ive found out
[03:46] <WilsonBradley> now tried to start using Pidgin , but
[03:46] <WilsonBradley> problems
[03:47] <iheartubuntu> give Empathy a try as it does IRC too
[03:47] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: It's a bit more hands-on. If you set your favorite network to autojoin with some good channels and whatnot, and tell the network dialog to skip on startup, you're in good shape. I also recommend switching from tab to tree view.
[03:47] <Draconicus> iheartubuntu: Do you know how hard I have to work to get empathy out of the system? It's as bad as evolution for how deeply rooted it is.
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> anyone here know about the Unity app launcher?
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> yah i dont like empathy either
[03:48] <Draconicus> ...
[03:48] <Draconicus> Why are you recommending it?
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> thunderbird kicks butt
[03:48] <WilsonBradley> how do I switch to tree view?
[03:48] <bilegt> how to set default brightness setting at startup? found some solutions from internet, but they don't work.
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> the guy wants to do IRC
[03:48] <iheartubuntu> empathy isnt "bad"... its just not my fave
[03:48] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: It's in the view options. Channel Switcher
[03:49] <Draconicus> Especially good if you go to many places at once.
[03:49] <iheartubuntu> not happy about Tomboy though. I use it extensively
[03:49] <sacarlson> roasted: I assume another running system will be the one that wakes a 2nd system on lan?  so a script that runs in cron that sends wake mesg.
[03:49] <WilsonBradley> Are you talking about Pidgin?
[03:49] <Draconicus> What happened to Tomboy? I just use the old sticky notes plugin from gnome version forever-ago
[03:49] <inzi> hey
[03:49] <iheartubuntu> holy cow almost 1500 people in here. i remember when it was like 150
[03:49] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: No, X-Chat
[03:50] <satyanash> iheartubuntu, 2005 ?
[03:50] <Draconicus> iheartubuntu: Those were the days. You could actually carry on a useful conversation.
[03:50] <fragske> using xchat-gnome atm, does look a lot like xchat tbh
[03:50] <Draconicus> I think I got into Ubuntu around '06.
[03:50] <inzi> iheartubuntu, ubuntu has grown!
[03:50] <iheartubuntu> tomboy is being dropped from 12.04 and is no longer accessible from U1
[03:50] <roasted> sacarlson: yeah, basically. I'm trying to set things up on a schedule so the file server is only on when it needs to be on... aka... my computer fires up and I'm using it. I have it set to WOL the file server at 5:55 PM, then at 6:00 PM my system rsyncs to it, etc.
[03:50] <fragske> but it's been a while since ive been using irc :)
[03:50] <iheartubuntu> yeah 2006 for me!
[03:50] <inzi> which is the ubuntu chat channel
[03:50] <roasted> sacarlson: if I can mesh up a schedule of WOL as well as rsync (I can already handle rsync) that'd be great.
[03:51] <inzi> since this channel is only for help..i dont want to be kickd out
[03:51] <iheartubuntu> i havent been in this room for a while. mostly in california room
[03:51] <Draconicus> fragske: It's the weirds knockoff thing I've ever seen. It's as bad as gnome-screensaver for dumbing things down. "What do you mean they have settings?!" is a reaction I got from one customer when I described xscreensaver.
[03:51] <iheartubuntu> i have 11.10 on two computers. one computer i see a full menu (compose,check mail, etc) when i right click "thunderbird" in my app launcher, but another computer its a very short list. the first computer also shows me how many unread messages i have. how do i get the app luancher on 2nd computer to match 1st computer?
[03:51] <iheartubuntu> there is a unity room... anyone remember the name?
[03:52] <Draconicus> iheartubuntu: Crazy idea, but is one using unity2d?
[03:52] <WilsonBradley> I cant seem to get xchat to work
[03:52] <WilsonBradley> doesn't connect
[03:52] <iheartubuntu> thats interesting. i dont think so, but i should check.
[03:52] <inzi> Draconicus, are u on unity or gnome3?
[03:52] <inzi> i mean gnome shell
[03:52] <WilsonBradley> or not sure how to add this server for example
[03:52] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: What are you setting? You have to click "Edit" after you type the network name.
[03:52] <sacarlson> roasted: if you want a single script just add a sleep in your script and maybe some test to verify your wake system woke up
[03:53] <Draconicus> inzi: Xfce.
[03:53] <Draconicus> Man, I should have said IceWM or something just to be silly.
[03:53] <iheartubuntu> xubuntu or debian with xfce?
[03:53] <satyanash> iheartubuntu, I think the channel is #ubuntu-unity
[03:53] <roasted> sacarlson: well, I'm not even sure how I would schedule sending a wakeonlan packet to my file server, let alone scripting to verify it really woke up.
[03:53] <Draconicus> iheartubuntu: Why would a Debian user be in here?
[03:53] <iheartubuntu> ubuntu is based on debian, plus theres a lot more going on in ubuntu these days
[03:54] <WilsonBradley>  Connecting to irc.2600.net (<IP_ADDRESS>) port 6667...
[03:54] <WilsonBradley> * Connection failed. Error: Network is unreachable
[03:54] <Draconicus> I was using Xfce4-Panel+Nautilus+Compiz+AWN happily as my desktop environemnt in 10.10. Just upgraded the whole way to 11.10 and thankfully it didn't eat my apache stuff.
[03:54] <sacarlson> roasted: I don't think the script runs in the server it runs in your runing desktop that wakes it up
[03:55] <WilsonBradley> How do I turn off the annoying sound when a tab opens in Firefox?
[03:55] <WilsonBradley> I don;'t know how it started
[03:55] <Draconicus> I upgraded. Xfce ran. Compiz worked in it. Everything was great. I restarted and it never worked again.
[03:55] <Draconicus> Too good to be true. :(
[03:56] <roasted> sacarlson: right, I get that. At any rate I just figured it out. There's a terminal command for "wakeonlan", whcih is simply, wakeonlan 00:11:22:33:44:55 etc.. I can just cron that to run at a specific time, such as 5:58 like I said in the earlier example.
[03:56] <iheartubuntu> thanks for the chat name satyanash
[03:56] <sacarlson> roasted: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/etherwake.8.html  is what I found
[03:57] <Draconicus> Oh, here's a good one: Why on earth is caribou REQUIRED to use Gnome 3? How can that possibly be a dependency?
[03:57] <sacarlson> roasted: etherwake is what is run on the sender side
[03:58] <Draconicus> I went to type in Firefox in Xfce after playing with gnome-tweak-tool to smooth out some GTK3 settings and an on-screen keyboard called Antler popped up and wouldn't go away even after I killed every process I could find for it. I had to re-log-in to make it go away. D:
[03:58] <WilsonBradley> * Looking up irc.freenode.net
[03:58] <WilsonBradley> * Connecting to chat.freenode.net (<IP_ADDRESS>) port 6667...
[03:58] <WilsonBradley> then it times out
[03:58] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: It's irc.freenode.net
[03:59] <Draconicus> I think chat.freenode.net is their java-client URL, isn't it?
[04:00] <Draconicus> Yep. Installing a package called gnome-session creates the session file for Unity.
[04:00] <WilsonBradley> I dont know why it changes to chat.freenode.net
[04:00] <Draconicus> THIS RELEASE OF UBUNTU SURE IS POLISHED! :D
[04:01] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: You mean it's just doing that?
[04:01] <WilsonBradley> I closed and restarted
[04:01] <Draconicus> "* Looking up irc.freenode.net"
[04:01] <Draconicus> Go to the network manager, click on the freenode entry, click "edit" and make sure it says irc.freenode.net
[04:01] <Jay_Levitt> Fresh Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit install; why might I not be able to play a .wav file in Firefox or Chrome?
[04:02] <Draconicus> Don't worry about the /6667 junk. It does that by default anyway.
[04:02] <Jay_Levitt> (The file shows up in the browser with a player but doesn't actually play)
[04:02] <WilsonBradley> it'sya, I kept taking the 6667 out
[04:03] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: Have you tested your hard drive recently? If the config file for X-Chat is giving you issues, I'd worry about write errors on the disk.
[04:04] <WilsonBradley> Hu?
[04:04] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: You should check dmesg for I/O error reports just in case. It seems like the settings aren't sticking in X-Chat.
[04:04] <Draconicus> Don't connect all this time. Instead, make the changes, close the program, re-open and edit again to see if they stick
[04:05] <WilsonBradley> when I go back in they are still there
[04:05] <Draconicus> If all else fails, type /server irc.freenode.net into the chat box. That always works.
[04:06] <Draconicus> It's weird. I'm used to this channel being flooded with activity to the point where you can't hope to be noticed without repeating yourself every five minutes... Now it's so... dead. o_o
[04:06] <WilsonBradley>  Looking up irc.gamesnet.net
[04:06] <WilsonBradley> * Connecting to irc.gamesnet.net (<IP_ADDRESS>) port 6667...
[04:07] <Draconicus> ....what the... what
[04:07] <WilsonBradley> and then it times out
[04:07] <Draconicus> You typed "/server irc.freenode.net" into the chat box and hit enter?
[04:07] <Draconicus> Close the network dialog entirely. Forget that for now.
[04:07] <WilsonBradley> yes in xchat
[04:08] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: Okay, so in X-Chat you closed the Network Connection dialog and went to the bottom of the window, clicked on the text area, typed "/server irc.freenode.net" and it said it was connecting to gamesnet?
[04:08] <dax_> Draconicus, WilsonBradley: chat.freenode.net is correct. irc.freenode.net is a pointer to it. We have no Java client.
[04:09] <Draconicus> dax_: ...Oh. :o
[04:09] <dax_> (you're perhaps thinking of webchat.freenode.net, which is javascript)
[04:09] <Draconicus> dax_: What about "gamesnet"?
[04:09] <WilsonBradley> no I tried a few different ones
[04:09] <dax_> Draconicus, no idea
[04:10] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: Got any firewalls? That could do it I guess. I don't know at this point. Maybe your computer is possessed. Call an exorcist.
[04:10] <WilsonBradley> I tried* Looking up irc.freenode.net
[04:10] <WilsonBradley> * Connecting to chat.freenode.net (<IP_ADDRESS>) port 6667...
[04:10] <dax_> that bit is fine
[04:10] <WilsonBradley> and it times out
[04:10] <WilsonBradley> no firewalls
[04:10] <WilsonBradley> that I know of.
[04:10] <WilsonBradley> I even opend ports in my router
[04:11] <WilsonBradley> it works in Pidgin
[04:11] <Draconicus> WilsonBradley: Are you on wireless? Can you open a termianl and ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[04:11] <WilsonBradley> but not * Looking up irc.freenode.net

[04:11] <WilsonBradley> * Connection failed. Error: No route to host
[04:11] <Draconicus> I get that Pidgin works. That alone should say you're not having connectivity problems. I'm still putting my money on the possession theory.
[04:12] <WilsonBradley> possession?
[04:12] <dax_> <IP_ADDRESS> isn't a freenode server address.
[04:12] <Draconicus> dax_: We're lucky to have you here for this. I'll let you take over. I hope you like X-Chat.
[04:12] <dax_> anyways, try /join #freenode, they'll probably be able to figure it out
[04:13] <dax_> (or maybe something'll come to me, but this isn't really on-topic for #ubuntu, so...)
[04:13] <WilsonBradley> ok, will ask there.
[04:14] <WilsonBradley> What it runs down to, is im  looking for a good chat/irc client that WORKJS\
[04:14] <WilsonBradley> everything I tried has problems.
[04:14] <WilsonBradley> Xchat, Pidgin
[04:14] <din> WilsonBradley: maybe you have an /etc/hosts entry for irc.freenode.net ?
[04:14] <WilsonBradley> where is the host file in ubuntu?
[04:15] <WilsonBradley> ill check
[04:15] <din> or your router has a caching dns service
[04:15] <din> or your machine has it cached as that?
[04:15] <cornerse> dax_: cool story bro.
[04:16] <Draconicus> Yep.
[04:16] <soidexe> hey there! I have 10.04 server edition and I have an old tzdata package there (2010i-1). I did apt-get update and apt-get install tzdata but it says it has the newest version. How can I update it?
[04:17] <Draconicus> I was able to remove "unity-greeter" and keep lightdm installed, all without any red flags.  Probably lucid-updates.
[04:22] <sacarlson> soidexe:  zykotick9:  is correct it should change much anyway unless someone changes the date of daylight saveings at some point
[04:23] <zykotick9> dax_: that makes more sense, thanks.
[04:23] <sacarlson> shouldn't change
[04:23] <zykotick9> sacarlson: i remember several changes to tzdata last year (due to changes in the US i believe), don't remember seening any this year
[04:24] <soidexe> there were changes in Moscow, Russia
[04:24] <soidexe> I just downloaded a deb file. not sure it's a proper way though
[04:25] <zykotick9> soidexe: it's not.  you should be seeing Version 2012b-0ubuntu0.10.04 from repositories.
[04:26] <soidexe> zykotick9: yeah, it is. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/all/tzdata/
[04:26] <soidexe> one more question. what would be a proper to install python2.7 on 10.04?
[04:27] <soidexe> I'm a bit tired of ppa as they often go somewhere down
[04:29] <ponrajuganesh> is there an option so that one could be make the script execute at a particular time
[04:29] <soidexe> ponrajuganesh: like "parent control"?
[04:30] <dax_> !cron | ponrajuganesh
[04:30] <scientes> !router
[04:32] <urgodfather> does anyone know how to reinstall a factory *.wim image to a specific partition through ubuntu?
[04:32] <urgodfather> or is it even possible?
[04:34] <scientes> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[04:34] <scientes> can i use -A POSTROUTING -s <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -o !eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[04:34] <scientes> instead, notice the "!"
[04:34] <scientes> so it will forward to whatever the default gateway is?
[04:35] <scientes> or even not set the -o option
[04:36] <superdave321> Can someone point me to an article that can help me use chown from a live disk?
[04:37] <unsecur3d> any good tut on ubuntu server for samba file server config ?
[04:37] <urgodfather> anyone?
[04:39] <sacarlson> scientes: I don't fully understand your goal but my masq line looks like $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
[04:40] <scientes> sacarlson, i don't have a static $EXTIF
[04:40] <scientes> could be wifi, could be 3G,
[04:40] <aeon-ltd> unsecur3d: have you read through these https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba ?
[04:40] <scientes> i just want it to use the route table
[04:40] <scientes> but perhaps block the same interface stuff came in on
[04:40] <scientes> so that would be -o !$INTIF
[04:40] <sacarlson> scientes: I guess the script would run at each change then?   I'm not sure
[04:41] <scientes> sacarlson, no, the ip route table takes care of that
[04:41] <unsecur3d> didnt even know that site existed, about to check it out. also found a good one here: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-11.10-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend
[04:41] <scientes> sacarlson, when you dhcp a new connection, it resets the default gateway
[04:42] <sacarlson> scientes: this just points at the device not the ip address so I guess it would still work
[04:42] <scientes> yeah i dont really want a firewall
[04:42] <scientes> i just want masquerade
[04:43] <scientes> so ufw isn't really for me
[04:43] <scientes> what i really want is it to be easily off/on able
[04:43] <scientes> with dnsmasq
[04:45] <SnnCnnry> anyone out there  geocacher?  Any good way to geocache on linux.  I have a garmin 60csx.
[04:45] <scientes> so that i wont screw up when i connect to a ethernet network
[04:45] <scientes> i gues i can keep the masquerade rules and just turn off dnsmasq
[04:46] <scientes> how could i get a trigger with network manager on that?
[04:46] <BoomerBile> how do you add a service to a run level on the command line interface?
[04:46] <scientes> BoomerBile, update-rc.d
[04:47] <BoomerBile> is the default run level in ubuntu still default?
[04:47] <scientes> update-rc.d $SERVICE_NAME defaults
[04:47] <BoomerBile> i.e update-rc.d -n basename default
[04:47] <zosky> hi yall. i run a ubuntu 10.04 server and exim4 stoped working yesterday. i figured something got stuck, but mailq just gives "Illegal instruction" i tried dpgk reconfig and got 'Invalid new configfile... not installing"  ??? help plz
[04:47] <scientes> *default
[04:48] <scientes> yeah it works the same as debian
[04:48] <WilsonBradley> A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept.
[04:48] <scientes> zosky, use postfix :P
[04:48] <BoomerBile> thanks scientes... in gentoo we use rc-update add service default/boot/sysinit/runlevel
[04:48] <zosky> scientes: thats not a solution, thats a work-around
[04:49] <scientes> zosky, yeah, sorry for my personal opinion
[04:49] <WilsonBradley> кйх
[04:49] <scientes> check #exim
[04:49] <scientes> !ru
[04:49] <superdave321> how do I access my encrypted home folder from live cd?
[04:49] <zosky> scientes: thanks, i'll ask there & if i get nowhere i'll switch to postfix
[04:50] <pengw> Hi all
[04:50] <WilsonBradley>
[04:50] <pengw> is there anyone familiar with openMP or openCL?
[04:50] <abe_> fields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution
[04:50] <WilsonBradley> I give up on Pidign
[04:52] <abe_> ields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution
[04:52] <abe_> ields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution
[04:52] <abe_> fields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution
[04:52] <abe_> fields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution
[04:55] <sacarlson> scientes: I wonder if you could just add a script at /etc/network/interfaces  with a line up   /etc/network/scripts/runatdhcp ; I'm not sure what event happens when dhcp changes your ip; in fact your ip normaly stays the same over a sesion so this might work
[04:56] <scientes> sacarlson, your ip stays the same because both your computer and the dhcp server has a mapping, and it tries to reuse it
[04:56] <scientes> but im not using network/interfaces, i am using networkmanager
[04:56] <sacarlson> scientes: yes so only time it normaly changes is up and down that this will run your script to set your masq
[04:57] <scientes> well actually it would be up w/ dhcp -->turn off; down with dhcp, turn on
[04:57] <sacarlson> scientes: I thought networkmanager used interfaces also
[04:57] <scientes> with what it is turning on/off is the dhcp server
[04:58] <scientes> i can keep the masquerade
[04:58] <scientes> it wont screw up anything
[04:59] <Bruce_Wayne> hey guys, I have been using ubuntu since long.. But since when Unity showed up, I didn't upgrade my system. I'm currently on 10.10... And my Ubuntu 10.10's support is ending next month.. My question is, what happens after support ends.. Will my system stop working.. or it's just the repository support they're talking about..?
[05:00] <sacarlson> scientes: I run dhcp also but have my dhcpd always set my system with this mac to the same address
[05:01] <scientes> sacarlson, yeah it keeps a leases file, and also your computer will always ask for what it last had
[05:01] <sacarlson> Bruce_Wayne: at worst you just can't add new software or updates.
[05:01] <scientes> (and you can also set it static)
[05:01] <domo1> how do I see a version of a specific package?
[05:02] <zykotick9> Bruce_Wayne: no security support is a HUGE deal
[05:02] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, your computer will keep working
[05:02] <sacarlson> scientes: in my case it forces me to use this ip even if I ask for another for this mac address
[05:02] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, the new version are alot nicer
[05:02] <scientes> faster, more power-efficient
[05:02] <scientes> sacarlson, yeah it just sends you that one
[05:03] <sacarlson> scientes: but If I was to move to another net the dhcp would work normaly
[05:03] <Bruce_Wayne> sacarlson: Thanks.. Did you mean from online repository? Or I won't be able to unzip any gz2 files and install? ......
[05:03] <scientes> yeah thats how dhcp works, it can send you whatever it wants to
[05:03] <scientes> you could set it statically still
[05:04] <sacarlson> Bruce_Wayne: just the repository, you can still download from other locations and compile if you already had the compile packages installed
[05:04] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, you could still install .deb packages from other repositories, (like a new ubuntu version)
[05:04] <scientes> and you can even download all the old debs for quite some time
[05:04] <scientes> it just means that you don't get any security support
[05:04] <Bruce_Wayne> scientes: I know.. But I haven't got time to install these all packages I'm using from current OS.. Is there any way to back all installed packages up and restore them when I upgrade to 12.04?
[05:05] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, you mean packages that wern't from ubuntu?
[05:05] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, if they were from ubuntu, it will all upgrade seemlessly
[05:06] <scientes> otherwise the packages might break, as Ubuntu doesn't keep binary compatibility in alot of cases
[05:06] <Bruce_Wayne> scientes: No I mean, all the packages or apps I have currently installed, So that I don't have to reconfigure them.. for eg: Rhythmbox, my programming IDE: Eclipse, My dictionary: Artha, all..
[05:07] <sacarlson> Bruce_Wayne: you can create a list of the apps now installed and use that list to try on the new installed system, but some may no longer exist
[05:07] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, you wont have to reconfigure them, it will keep all your old settings
[05:07] <Bruce_Wayne> scientes: Yes, I'm currently on Ubuntu 10.10
[05:07] <lilVaratep> Where can I change the font for terminal when I use dwm in ubuntu 11.10?
[05:07] <scientes> Bruce_Wayne, you should already backup, but even if you install fresh, when you mount your home it will probably just work
[05:08] <scientes> for alot of software
[05:08] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: what terminal are you using?
[05:08] <sacarlson> scientes: Bruce_Wayne: and that would be from a fresh install,  not all upgrades go very smoothly so I start from fresh on a spare partition
[05:08] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, How do I find out?
[05:08] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: "echo $TERM" might work
[05:08] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, I'm just using the default terminal that came with ubuntu 11.10
[05:09] <lilVaratep> so... xterm
[05:09] <scientes> lilVaratep, no, its gnome-terminal
[05:09] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: safest would be to set in .Xdefault-$YOURHOSTNAME
[05:10] <scientes> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[05:10] <scientes> how do i set the firewall to not be a firewall?
[05:10] <lilVaratep> I don't have a .Xdefaults
[05:10] <scientes> i guess what i really need is a super-short NAT MASQUERADE script
[05:10] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: i'm not surprised...
[05:11] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, If I make a new .Xdefaults what needs to be in it?
[05:11] <Bruce_Wayne> sacarlson: scientes: Thanks for your replies & hints.. I'll search the internet for my further confusions. Cheers. :)
[05:11] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: first off, i didn't say .Xdefaults (that probably won't work), you need to call it .Xdefault-$YOURHOSTNAME (replace $YOURHOSTNAME with you actual hostname)
[05:13] <sacarlson> scientes: I think I have a minimal masq script,  I normaly run a much bigger on as I run an isp that filters out people who failed to pay
[05:13] <lilVaratep> so it would be .Xdefault-UbuntuDeBay  or would it be .Xdefault-$UbuntuDeBay
[05:13] <zykotick9> .Xdefault-UbuntuDeBay
[05:13] <scientes> sacarlson, paste it
[05:13] <scientes> i've done this before
[05:13] <scientes> but i cant find what i used before
[05:14] <scientes> it even have nice port forwarding
[05:14] <scientes> but i think i will run miniupnpd
[05:14] <scientes> i ran into this last time
[05:14] <scientes> everyone want to give you a firewall
[05:14] <scientes> and i dont want that
[05:15] <Madhatter_> Hi
[05:15] <lilVaratep> How do I make a file in terminal?
[05:15] <sacarlson> scientes:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/882817/
[05:15] <scientes> ooo, this one looks good
[05:15] <Madhatter_> How do I install java?
[05:15] <lilVaratep> make -f name doesn't seem to work
[05:16] <scientes> http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/howto/other-formats/html_single/Masquerading-Simple-HOWTO.html
[05:16] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: touch or use an editor nano, vim, etc.
[05:16] <rsvp> it seems that the GNU parallel program in moreutils is really outdated ... confirm ??
[05:16] <Madhatter_> [18:15] <Madhatter_> How do I install java?
[05:16] <zykotick9> !java | Madhatter_
[05:16] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Why did you write .Xdefault? I thought it was .Xdefaults?
[05:17] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: typo sorry, it's .Xdefaults-HOSTNAME
[05:17] <Madhatter_> I downloaded java but It wants an application to open it that I dont seem to have
[05:17] <scientes> $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -j ACCEPT
[05:17] <scientes> $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
[05:18] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, And what would I put in this file to make xterm's default font -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1
[05:18] <scientes> is $EXTIF the WAN, or LAN? sacarlson ?
[05:18] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: as an example my line is = xterm*font: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*
[05:18] <sacarlson> scientes: it's the external iterface the one that touches your ISP
[05:19] <scientes> ahh then that wont work for me
[05:19] <scientes> cause that changes in my case
[05:19] <scientes> it might be wifi, it might be 3g
[05:19] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: use xfontsel to play with the fonts to get the line (there is a copy (to clipboard) button i think)
[05:19] <sacarlson> scientes: if it changes just at a $1  to your script
[05:19] <sacarlson> add $1
[05:20] <scientes> sacarlson, so you have to dump everything gotcha
[05:20] <scientes> when you connect with the other interfaces
[05:20] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Yeah, I generated -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1 already
[05:20] <sacarlson> scientes: my system normaly has alot of filters set so this dumps all those before it runs
[05:20] <scientes> sacarlson, and how about turning it off, like when you dhcp on the LAN
[05:20] <scientes> (making it a WAN)
[05:21] <variant> hi, after a while my ubuntu virtual machines al have "ssh main process (562) terminated with status 255 or failsafe main process (556) killed by TERM signal
[05:21] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: so, just add " xterm*font:  -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1" and try opening a new xterm, if it doesn't work you may have to source the .Xdefault-hostname file and try again
[05:21] <variant> any idea why this is?
[05:21] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, What do you mean by source the file?
[05:21] <sacarlson> scientes: I would have to verify but I think sudo ifconfig etho down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up; might clear it
[05:21] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: "source .Xdefaults-HOSTNAME" then try xterm again
[05:22] <sacarlson> scientes: typeo ehto = eth0
[05:22] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, The font is now changed so thanks =]. How would I install a new font? I tried going into unity and double clicking .pcf files to install but i guess it didn't show up
[05:23] <scientes> sacarlson, "NetworkManager will only handle interfaces not declared in /etc/network/interfaces (see README file). "
[05:23] <scientes> see
[05:23] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: i know there are a couple console fonts available in the repo
[05:23] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: terminus is one
[05:23] <sacarlson> scientes: I guess that might be why I kill networkmanager then
[05:23] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, I was looking forward to installing profont ... as I am a programmer and that one appeals to me and is well suggested by other programmers
[05:25] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: sidenote - for a good xterminal emulator you might want to look into urxvt
[05:25] <scientes> sacarlson, well this is an end-user device, and NetworkManager really is the front-end i want to use, so ill have to figure it out
[05:25] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Yeah I've heard urxvt is good. I just sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode already, is that all I need? and whats different with urxvt?
[05:26] <sacarlson> scientes: I agree and networkmanager has improved,  even shared network is setable in networkmanger that sometimes works
[05:26] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: it's rendering and font support are better then xterms, less graphics issues with ncurses applications in my particular case
[05:27] <scientes> sacarlson, so can i set a static in interfaces, and let NM ALSO get a dhcp?
[05:27] <scientes> cause i know the kernel can do that
[05:27] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: alsamixer looked horrible in screen session for example - i even have transperance working with screen now :)
[05:27] <scientes> cause im not configuring a gateway, just a local route
[05:27] <sacarlson> scientes: sure as long as it's on a different interface
[05:27] <scientes> sacarlson, no, same interface
[05:27] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, I'm currently using DWM, so how would I get the urxvt to be transparent?
[05:27] <scientes> "If you want NetworkManager to handle interfaces that are enabled in /etc/network/interfaces: "
[05:28] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: what is DWM?
[05:28] <scientes> just differn't subnet
[05:28] <variant> is it just me or is there a fair bitof fake user account spam in bugs.launchpad.net?
[05:28] <variant> for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/522197
[05:28] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: the config is non-trivial, but i think "urxvt -tr" might work
[05:28] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Pretty much a tiling window manager
[05:28] <variant> deliberate missdirection from multiple users (who use the same kind of speech)
[05:28] <sacarlson> scientes: a virtual address?  I'm not sure seems if you add a virtual I'm not sure what happens to the other
[05:29] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: ahhh yes, i use awesome which is based off dwm if im not mistaken
[05:29] <scientes> sacarlson, no a real address, a static <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[05:29] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Is rxvt-unicode the only one i need?
[05:29] <scientes> *.1
[05:29] <scientes> and then let it have a dhcp + gateway TOO
[05:29] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: honestly with ubuntu i'm really not positive ;)
[05:30] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Which one do you use?
[05:30] <sacarlson> scientes: override the dhcp?  I don't think so ,  you will find networkmanger taking control at each licence expire
[05:30] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: doesn't matter
[05:30] <scientes> sacarlson, you dont get it, an interface can have more than one ip address and subnet assigned to it
[05:30] <sacarlson> scientes: oh you can set static in networkmanager if that's what you mean
[05:30] <jelyup> hello
[05:30] <scientes> you just set it in promiscuous mode sacarlson
[05:31] <sacarlson> scientes: yes more than one ip address is called virtual address
[05:31] <lilVaratep> brb gonna try re-compiling dwm
[05:31] <scientes> sacarlson, i had no idea, but both as first-class citizens
[05:31] <scientes> *are
[05:32] <sacarlson> scientes: yes but not under the control of networkmanger as far as I know,  you would have to kill networkmanager to run something like that
[05:33] <scientes> hmm, but then it will say "unmanaged" and look disconnected
[05:33] <sacarlson> scientes: ifconfig eth0.1 <IP_ADDRESS>; ifconfig eth0.2 <IP_ADDRESS>;
[05:33] <scientes> and i dont want that
[05:33] <scientes> sacarlson, ip addr add 192.168.0.foo; ip addr add
[05:33] <scientes> etc
[05:34] <scientes> WAY better
[05:34] <sacarlson> scientes: it might work even with network manager,  try it, it can't kill ya
[05:36] <Lirth> Is there a way to adjust scroll speed for ubuntu 11.10?
[05:36] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, How would I change the background for uxrvt?
[05:37] <variant> lilVaratep: "man uxrvt"
[05:37] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: it's not an option i use?  it is an option though - everything is ;)
[05:37] <variant> lilVaratep: seriously, it's quicker than asking here

[05:39] <zykotick9> lilVaratep: if you want to config the font add a line to your .Xdefaults-HOSTNAME for URxvt*font:
[05:40] <lilVaratep> zykotick9, Yeah, figured that out =D
[05:40] <derppp_> this sucks.
[05:40] <derppp_> OMFG
[05:40] <derppp_> i was logged in as root
[05:41] <Lirth> derppp_: Perhaps if you were patient and polite people would be more willing to help.
[05:41] <derppp_> sorry Op.
[05:41] <derppp_> would you help me?
[05:41] <sacarlson> derppp_: or even if we had a clue what your problem might be
[05:41] <derppp_> yeah.......
[05:41] <Lirth> derppp_: Not an op, just experiential advice. I don't know what you're talking about.
[05:41] <quiescens> sacarlson: that does sometimes help
[05:42] <derppp_> i was in a channel as root with a friend to use Teamviewer, and idk how to get in touch with him.
[05:42] <derppp_> i don't use linux often...
[05:42] <derppp_> he sent me a IM.
[05:42] <gubbel> hi there! i'm having problems compiling ultrastar-dx-svn and the developer told me, it's best if i try just to just ffmpeg headers up to 0.6xxx. I want to remove those I have currently installed. But what package should I install? I searched, but I only find libavc* packages. don't know which one is a 0.6xxx one. Can anybody tell me? (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ffmpeg&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all)
[05:43] <derppp_> i feel so out-of-place....
[05:43] <derppp_> any ideas?
[05:44] <derppp_> please..............
[05:45] <Lirth> derppp_: Try looking at the FAQ http://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/index.aspx
[05:45] <derppp_> thank you Lirth. muchhh appreciated.
[05:46] <sacarlson> derppp_: I guess the #Psykick channel they have ESP skills and can find where your team hangs out on the internet
[05:47] <Lirth> Does anybody know how to adjust the scroll speed (from a mouse) for Ubuntu 11.10? I haven't been able to find anything.
[05:47] <derppp_> alright, i'll ask them.
[05:48] <Lirth> sacarlson: I think it's spelled "psychic".
[05:48] <derppp_> yea....
[05:48] <derppp_> nobody's in ther lOL>
[05:48] <derppp_> ii thought you said that.. >.<
[05:49] <sacarlson> Lirth: dam I even had to look it up to get that close
[05:49] <derppp_> LOL! i appreciate it though.
[05:49] <Lirth> derppp_: If they're psychic then they just need you to post, even if nobody is there. They'll know.
[05:50] <derppp_> o_0'
[05:50] <derppp_> seriously.

[06:06] <scientes> sacarlson, "The ifconfig utility is being phased out and being replaced by the ip utility from the iproute package. The newer ip utility does not use the same concept of aliases or virtual interfaces and instead treats additional addresses as first class objects. The newer way to configure multiple addresses on one interface is to use the up and down mechanism to call ip at the correct times to add and remove these additional IP addresses. "

[06:32] <Jordan_U> gubbel: It certainly sounds like a bug to me.
[06:32] <gubbel> ok i will first try the newest kernel
[06:32] <gubbel> i just install it with dpkg -i right?
[06:33] <sacarlson> gubbel: or synaptic I guess with ppa added
[06:33] <Jordan_U> gubbel: Yes, but make sure that you download the header package as well and pass them both to dpkg at the same time (doing it at the same time isn't strictly needed, but it's good practice).
[06:34] <gubbel> okay thank you
[06:34] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: gubbel: This particular "ppa" is not really a PPA, it can't be used as a repository.

[07:06] <GameMX> Jordan_U - well, this is embarrassing for me.
[07:06] <bluefrog> install tftpd-hpa, put netboot files in /var/lib/tftpboot, teweak a little bit the dhcp server by inserting filename "pxelinux.";  in dhcpd.conf, resarts the services and you're ok
[07:06] <GameMX> Its all well and good
[07:07] <[Corp]> oh ok
[07:07] <[Corp]> so no need for apache and stuff?
[07:08] <bluefrog> dhcp server and tftp server is all you need
[07:08] <[Corp]> aiight
[07:08] <bluefrog> but it depends if you need a web service afterwards
[07:09] <bluefrog> meaning if you are hosting a repo mirror or hitting the internet ones
[07:09] <[Corp]> nah, just to distribute it using pxe at this time
[07:09] <[Corp]> and is it possible to make it all unattended so users dont need to choose language, keysettings, locations and so?
[07:10] <bluefrog> yes
[07:11] <[Corp]> but that has nothing to do with the pxe or tftp right? is some sort of settingsfile ?
[07:11] <bluefrog> http://pastebin.com/UxCG374a  was like a while ago. should be the same now
[07:11] <bluefrog> search ubuntu doc for preseeding files
[07:12] <[Corp]> thx m8
[07:12] <[Corp]> ill give it a go
[07:15] <sacarlson> [Corp]: I created this that runs on a 11.04 server that works for me.  note I couldn't get my 10.04 to work with pxe boot. http://paste.ubuntu.com/882880/
[07:15] <[Corp]> sacarlson, ok good, ill have a look
[07:22] <jtoy> how do I remove sources from apt source?
[07:22] <jtoy> I don't see the ones I added in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:22] <jtoy> but every time i do apt-get update it fails on the source I added
[07:23] <arand> jtoy: Look also in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[07:24] <jtoy> arand: that fixed it, thanks!

[07:31] <smt_> hi, i need some help with my hosts file, i have multiple domains on single ip and want to point to all of them, my current version is http://pastebin.com/bxKYA2FA but firefox seems to ignore all assignments for <IP_ADDRESS> except the first and the last one   any ideas?
[07:33] <smt_> ping shows with the internal ip for all entries, but firefox as well as thunderbird seem to ignore that

[07:37] <arno22> Hi there, I have an new, encrypted installation that I can't boot into (it doesn't start booting). I have another installation on the same computer (on a separate hard drive). How can I add the encrypted installation to the GRUB menu of the second hard drive?
[07:37] <Vonor> just installed 12.4 beta alternative in a vmbox  and right after the kernel is loaded i get an error: mountall: no connection to Plymouth
[07:37] <W43372> I plug my android phone into my computer and turn usb storage mode on and it doesn't show the contents of the sd card on my screen but the device shows up when I enter lsusb into the terminal. What do?
[07:37] <lotuspsychje> !precise | Vonor
[07:41] <W43372> Any ideas?
[07:45] <ubuntu> I'm trying to backup things from my HD
[07:46] <mylisto23> is anyone around?
[07:46] <W43372> It worked the last time I tried to connect a couple of weeks ago.
[07:47] <inzi> hey everybody
[07:47] <inzi> howz the stability on the new ubuntu 12.04?
[07:47] <sacarlson> smt_:  I think you need to look at apache2 configs for virtual hosts to point a different pages when a different dns name is used
[07:47] <inzi> is it worth an install on my lappy?
[07:47] <psycho_oreos> !12.04 | inzi
[07:47] <gevz> inzi
[07:47] <inzi> yeah gevz
[07:48] <gevz> good but not stable version
[07:48] <inzi> hmm yah
[07:48] <gevz> have some bugs
[07:48] <inzi> understood..
[07:48] <ehm> i usually wait at least 6 months after any os release.
[07:49] <inzi> anyone tried skype 5.8 on windows through VM, with Ubuntu as Main OS
[07:49] <smt_> sacarlson: the apache server and its vhosts are working fine, its not about the server machines hosts file, its about the other machines in the network, they should access the server without using the isp connection
[07:49] <gmclean> network-manager saves my wireless info in a profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections but doesn't automatically connect at boot and i have to re-enter my wireless password so that it can create another profile file every time. any clues?
[07:49] <W43372> I plug my android phone into my computer and turn usb storage mode on and it doesn't show the contents of the sd card on my screen but the device shows up when I enter lsusb into the terminal. What do?
[07:49] <gevz> remove NM and install wicd
[07:50] <gmclean> gevz: nm is that crappy in your opinion huh?
[07:50] <sacarlson> smt_: oh then you will have to setup bind9 on your local network to have local trafic pointed to local server address
[07:51] <sacarlson> smt_: or modify all the local clients hosts files
[07:51] <smt_> thats what i did sacarlson, but it doesnt accept all entries
[07:52] <gevz> gmclean: no, but it stop working sometime
[07:52] <sacarlson> smt_: you sure you have virtual host setup on apache2 http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412
[07:52] <mylisto23> so basically...my laptop (this laptop) isn't booting up to ubuntu so I'm using this laptop with a live cd to backup my HD.  When I try to access my home folder I get a notification that I don't have permission to view the contents of "antonio"
[07:52] <gmclean> gevz: that seems so weird though.  i even tried reinstalling...
[07:52] <mylisto23> Here is a picture of what I am getting http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l269/con_movies/Screenshot.png
[07:52] <gmclean> wtf man
[07:52] <gevz> wicd is more stable on this moment
[07:52] <smt_> that all works fine, all domains are accessable from external...
[07:53] <W43372> help?
[07:53] <mylisto23> What can I do to access the folder on my internal 500 gig hd?
[07:54] <sacarlson> smt_: then i'm not sure what else it could be, as long as you can ping each of those to get the same address it should work if that address has apache2 running vitualhosts
[07:54] <bluefrog> mylisto23, if you encrypted it, you need the key to decrypt
[07:54] <mylisto23> crud!
[07:55] <smt_> sacarlson: that works fine... only firefox seems to ignore the hosts file entries...
[07:55] <bluefrog> mylisto23, no key = bye bye data
[07:55] <mylisto23> I don't remember if I added a encryption to it
[07:55] <mylisto23> I might have
[07:55] <sacarlson> smt_: oh if that's the case it maybe the your still have that site cached on firefox
[07:56] <sacarlson> smt_: and maybe you didn't set a page refresh timeout
[07:56] <smt_> sacarlson: thunderbird ignores it too
[07:56] <sacarlson> cached?
[07:56] <smt_> hmm guess not
[07:57] <sacarlson> smt_: guess so with no other posibilites left
[07:57] <mylisto23> sacarlson: how can I enter an encryption key?
[07:57] <haux> Pressing the printscreen button doesn't do anything for me. How can this be fixed?
[07:57] <pedro> lft the die an dfini the deskpop
[07:59] <sacarlson> mylisto23:  maybe with seahorse
[07:59] <mylisto23> ?
[08:00] <pedro> hello
[08:00] <pedro> mens
[08:00] <sacarlson> mylisto23: http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/

[08:10] <W43372> I plug my android phone into my computer and turn usb storage mode on and it doesn't show the contents of the sd card on my screen but the device shows up when I enter lsusb into the terminal. What do?
[08:10] <dr_willis> w4
[08:10] <cookie1980> did you try to mount it by hand?
[08:11] <dr_willis> depending on the phone thers 2 metods of mounting them
[08:11] <dr_willis> the webupd8 blog dite had an artical on it. i bet askubuntu.com does also
[08:12] <cookie1980> try 'sudo mount' to see mounted filesystems, maybe just the desktop icon is not present
[08:14] <dr_willis> i recall the newer.versions of android.chsnged some things. but my older phone does work.
[08:15] <AdvoWork> I'm trying to connect to my freebsd machine via my ubuntu client, from the terminal I can do: ssh username@domainname  -p 8082 and log in, but then says this account is unavailable. I try this via Ubuntu > Connect to server, and it states Protocol Error. Any suggestions please?
[08:16] <AdvoWork> if i use the root username/pass Connect to server works fine, but obv permissions aren't good now
[08:17] <jmara> good morning, is there any compatibility list for raid controllers in lucid?
[08:19] <ubuntu> I have a hd I think might be encrypted...
[08:19] <dr_willis> !hcl
[08:20] <ubuntu> how do unencrypt a folder?
[08:21] <dr_willis> !encrypt
[08:22] <dr_willis> encryping folders or drives are different i think
[08:22] <cookie1980> AdvoWork: Whatt shell do you use for root and what shell for the user?
[08:28] <AdvoWork> cookie1980, just set their shell to Bash, I can now ssh in, but I still cant do connect to server via ssh?
[08:29] <dr_willis> ssh has -vv     option for verbose errors
[08:30] <dr_willis> sounds like security on the bsd mavjine
[08:31] <AdvoWork> dr_willis, even if I can now ssh in, yet not connect to server via ssh on port 22 or 8082 (8082 is the remote port i've setup to point to that server that normally works)
[08:32] <dr_willis> sounds like some denied user settings. unless we missunderstand you
[08:32] <cookie1980> can you try to connect via telnet to that port? if you get a connection refused or something similiar the server is not running
[08:33] <cookie1980> or the firewall is stopping you xD
[08:33] <KarmaComa> hello

[08:34] <KarmaComa> any help would be appreciated!
[08:35] <RaTTuS> umm
[08:35] <RaTTuS|BIG> umm
[08:35] <KarmaComa> hehe
[08:35] <KarmaComa> really sad i cannot use it since i updated to kubuntu 11.10
[08:36] <KarmaComa> it works perfect on 10.10
[08:36] <KarmaComa> it has something to do with the new version of the liberaries
[08:36] <KarmaComa> in kubuntu 11.10
[08:37] <KarmaComa> python-kde4 v. 4.5.1 python-qt4 v. 4.7.2 python-simplejson plasma-scriptengine-python v. 4.4.4
[08:38] <lookatmeyou> 大家好！
[08:38] <KarmaComa> these are the working version, but in kubuntu 11.10 its a newer versions
[08:39] <never2far> hello, is there anyway to save config of an fresh installed ubuntu so that next time i need to install it can be done using that file ...something like this: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2012/01/ubuntu-quick-installation-preseed-link.html
[08:39] <ubuntu> what never2far:?  I'm the worst person to ask
[08:40] <dr_willis> with a nick that will get highlited by mistake 1000x a day
[08:40] <AdvoWork> cookie1980, i can't connect via telnet, but I can ssh in as that user fine, under that port 8082. I just can't do it via the Connect to server method. It ranges from please verify your details to permission denied. Root works fine,  username and pass are correct :S

[08:50] <ubuntu> how can I unencrypt my home folder on a internal hd in this laptop (I'm using a livecd) when I know the login password to my account on there?
[08:51] <sacarlson> scientes: I don't know what iptables commit is but I would guess not
[08:54] <sacarlson> scientes: no it's not a ufw script

[08:55] <sacarlson> scientes: did you check this out http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-configure-linux-virtual-local-area-network-vlan.html
[09:05] <corpan> exit
[09:05] <scientes> sacarlson, but i dont want a vlan
[09:06] <scientes> sacarlson, see http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Multiple_IP_addresses_on_One_Interface
[09:06] <sacarlson> scientes: oh well it was your idea to have two ip on one nic so that's just one way of doing it
[09:06] <scientes> oh gotcha
[09:07] <scientes> BINGO
[09:08] <user_> hi all
[09:08] <scientes> if i lable the ip address as shows on that wiki page then network-manager doesn't flush it
[09:08] <sacarlson> scientes: ya I don't really know what the diff is between eth0:1  and eth0.1  one is vlan the other alias?
[09:08] <ktwo> hi, someone knows what is different with bluetooth in Kubuntu and Ubuntu? because i do not find an option to connect to PAN with Kubuntu (in Ubuntu there is though)
[09:08] <user_> i would guess the network manager in kubuntu would have it
[09:08] <scientes> sacarlson, the . means its a vlan, the : is just a label, and a legacy way that ifconfig dealt with ip addresses
[09:09] <scientes> as is documented in that wiki page
[09:09] <scientes> vlans have special stuff that i dont want
[09:09] <psypher246> hello all, does anyone know how to restart the systray if it has crashed completely?
[09:10] <gevz> logoff & login ;))  i guess
[09:11] <psypher246> gevz: besides that. I have to do this several times a day
[09:11] <scientes> nope guess not
[09:11] <psypher246> and restarting unity?
[09:12] <psypher246> just uunity or unity --replace or unity --reset
[09:16] <psypher246> ah awesome unity --replace fixed my systray, yay
[09:17] <smt_> sacarlson: i found out what the problem with my hosts file was.. i had to define the www.domain.com as alias to get it to work properly... it resolved the domain name to the ip but there it was redirected to www.domain.name wich wasnt resolved
[09:18] <sacarlson> smt_: oh your right, I've made that same mistake it's <IP_ADDRESS>  thisname  thatname  another name  ;   not more lines
[09:19] <sacarlson> smt_: but I use bind9 for that stuf now so all new added systems also get the address
[09:19] <smt_> it works with multiple lines.. i still have them... one for each domain showing    ip   domain.tld  www.domain.tld
[09:20] <smt_> well, however, thanks for your help ;)
[09:21] <sacarlson> smt_: oh well there's always 200 ways to do one thing as long as it works
[09:30] <havok_> anyone know how to view my PPA'
[09:30] <havok_> s which i've added
[09:31] <havok_> whenever you call apt-add-repository...where does it save them?
[09:32] <sacarlson> havok_: they have ppa-purge  so they must have a way to list them also
[09:33] <MikeH> Is there any tool I can use to print all input/output on a local server on port 80
[09:33] <dr_willis> one per file in the /etc/apt dir somewhere havok_
[09:33] <havok_> ah okay i'll look for other ppa- commands
[09:33] <MikeH> at a tcp level?
[09:33] <dr_willis> i cant recall exact path
[09:33] <llutz> MikeH: tcpdump
[09:36] <MikeH> llutz: I looked at tcpdump, but I cannot figure out how to just print the actual data?
[09:40] <Tm_T> havok_: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
