[00:00] <SuperPaco69> hello
[00:00] <SuperPaco69> how can I add a user with out a user??
[00:01] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: ???
[00:01] <goltoof> superbenjo:   you don't do it
[00:01] <Neldogz> Does anyone know how to change the vboxnet ip settings on virtual box?
[00:01] <MojoWork> when there's only one kernel, what key to you have to get to see the grub list so you can choose recovery / single user?
[00:01] <goltoof> SuperPaco69:  you don't do it
[00:01] <SuperPaco69> sorry shcherbak
[00:01] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, a user with out a passwrd
[00:01] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, a user and being in 3 different groups
[00:02] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: why, what do you want to do? just add user to groups
[00:02] <goltoof> Neldogz:  network settings
[00:02] <bezao> how can i update my ap-tget?
[00:02] <goltoof> bezao:  sudo apt-get update
[00:02] <trojan_spike> bezao, update?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> bezao: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[00:03] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak,   I have 3 grops and I have to add several users to each group but I do not have the password the password wil be generated by my boss
[00:03] <bezao> got error on update from web
[00:03] <Neldogz> goltoof: i want to enable a host host-only adapter but this adapter has a default IP of           inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>
[00:03] <goltoof> SuperPaco69:  just set a temporary password and change it later
[00:03] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, so they do not have pass for the moment... and my boss pass shcherbak will be without a pass
[00:03] <Neldogz> so i want to change this IP and network
[00:04] <SuperPaco69> goltoof, how can do this?? useraodd -G "group" -p @@@@ ... but without apass how can I do it goltoof ???
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> Neldogz: you can do it in network manager
[00:04] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: root can overrite password, habit is to make "generic" passwords as acronyms of username --> emanresu
[00:05] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, but my boss needs no pass... he wants like that
[00:05] <superbenjo> goltoof : so i can't do anything bout my graphic card problem ??? what a pity
[00:06] <MojoWork> no one knows? i've got a friends laptop that won't boot. trying to try single user
[00:06] <Neldogz> ActionParsnip: i dont see the virtual adapter listed in network manager
[00:06] <MojoWork> or otherwise get rid of the stoopid splash screen that hides the error
[00:06] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: that silly, make sure to disable users with no passwords
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: if you have an installed OS but no boot, boot to liveCD and reinstate grub2
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Neldogz: then you can use /etc/network/interfaces  if you wish
[00:07] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, ok
[00:07] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: it was installed long ago. i just want to know how to get the grub menu when there's only one kernel
[00:07] <waxel740> How does one actually register a name with freenode?
[00:07] <MojoWork> it's going straight to a boot splash
[00:07] <bastidrazor> !register
[00:07] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=250818
[00:07] <Lupditerra> Can anyone assist me with Unity?
[00:07] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: it hangs during the boot, after the kernel loads
[00:07] <replicasex> You can also go to #help I think to get your nick cloaked
[00:08] <Neldogz> actually, i found it. It was within the network settings within Virtual Box =)
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: if you run: uname -a    thats your current kernel, you can then run:  dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2    you can see the installed kernels, you can remove the unwanted kernels (but NEVER the running kernel) and they will be removed from the boot list
[00:08] <goltoof> superbenjo:  sorry last remark was to another super
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: can you use an older kernel?
[00:08] <goltoof> Neldogz:  told ya :)
[00:08] <MojoWork> waxel740: /msg nickserv help
[00:09] <superbenjo> ok, goltoof , can you help me with my graphic card ???
[00:09] <waxel740> I've tried registering before, but it wouldn't accept my email address regardless of it being a genuine address such as yahoo,hotmail, or gmail
[00:09] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: i don't get a grub menu to select one. what key do you have to hit to get one?
[00:09] <MojoWork> rather than have to boot straight into the default kernel?
[00:09] <MojoWork> that's what im looking for
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: hold shift
[00:09] <MojoWork> ah, thanks
[00:10] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: sorry wrong link --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412687
[00:10] <goltoof> superbenjo:  yea i can, i just don't know how :P
[00:11] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: worked like a charm, thanks, that was exactly what i was asking for ;)
[00:11] <superbenjo> rrr, what'd you mean, goltoof
[00:11] <goltoof> superbenjo:  what makes you so sure it's your gfx card driver?
[00:11] <MojoWork> i personally hate that crap
[00:11] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, do you have the sintax??
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: simple stuff dude
[00:11] <SuperPaco69> hoo this one has it thanks!!!
[00:11] <MojoWork> give me an actual boot menu for a few seconds, and no splash screen that hides everything
[00:11] <goltoof> superbenjo:  do you know what kind you have?
[00:11] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: simple sure, but not if you don't know it
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> MojoWork: well now you know too :)
[00:12] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: i never set mine up that way so i never needed it
[00:12]  * MojoWork trots off to try an older kernel
[00:12] <superbenjo> well, i played another game with similiar look on windows, and it's working properly , goltoof
[00:12] <MojoWork> ActionParsnip: thx again
[00:12] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: read last posted link, once done it before in ubuntu and will not do it again.
[00:12] <superbenjo> goltoof : what you mean with 'what kind ' ???
[00:13] <goltoof> superbenjo: lspci | grep -i vga   ... post the output
[00:14] <superbenjo> well, i need to reboot my notebook then, would you wait for a minute, gultoof
[00:15] <rww> waxel740: don't put <brackets> around the address.
[00:15] <Lupditerra> Who can help me with a Unity problem?
[00:16] <SuperPaco69> how can i erase a user only from one group??/
[00:16] <ko2> hello. If i write too many things in the terminal i cannot see them after a while because there is a limit of lines that are displayed in the terminal. How can i get those lines above that i cannot see?
[00:17] <shcherbak> SuperPaco69: man usermod
[00:17] <smw> ko2, gnome terminal or a virtual terminal like tty1?
[00:17] <SuperPaco69> ok
[00:18] <ko2> the gnome terminal (within the GUI)
[00:19] <Snookie1> is there a way to excecute another desktop enviroment on tty1? or even enable graphics usage?
[00:19] <superbenjo> goltoof : 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

[00:21] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, is there a command that will show all users and what group they belong to??
[00:21] <daniel> hi people... can someone help me?
[00:22] <ko2> ok thanks
[00:22] <sam-_-> !ask | daniel
[00:22] <Jordan_U> Snookie1: Why specifically tty1?
[00:22] <larry2342> !help | daniel
[00:22] <larry2342> !ping
[00:22] <dwarder> !traceroute
[00:23] <smw> ko2, you can set the number of lines to infinite in the gnome terminal config
[00:23] <Snookie1> oh, i mean any tty
[00:23] <ko2> smw: ok i've done
[00:23] <smw> !who | ko2
[00:23] <Snookie1> besides tty7
[00:23] <smw> ko2, sorry it took so long to respond. I did not see you said anything
[00:24] <SuperPaco69> shcherbak, is there a command that will show all users and what group they belong to is it showg??
[00:24] <ko2> smw: no problem
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Snookie1: click on the applet in the top right with the power icon and choose switch user (though that only works if you don't need to X servers running as the same user).
[00:24] <larry2342> SuperPaco69: cat /etc/groups ?
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Snookie1: If you do need another X server run as a particular user then use "startx" from a tty.
[00:24] <Snookie1> ah, ok, thanks
[00:25] <Snookie1> oh, sorry
[00:25] <helpmeat> hi mates, can you please help me to get this issue resolved (ubuntu 10.04)? http://pastebin.com/38aWTZZa
[00:25] <Snookie1> Jordan_U: ah, ok, thanks :D
[00:25] <bastidrazor> Snookie1: something to the effect of: startx --:1
[00:25] <Jordan_U> Snookie1: You're welcome.
[00:25] <SuperPaco69> larry2342, that files does not exiist on ubuntu 10.04
[00:25] <Snookie1> bastidrazor: ?
[00:26] <bastidrazor> Snookie1: to start another x session with your current user in a tty
[00:26] <Snookie1> bastidrazor: ah, ok, thanks
[00:26] <waxel740> was able to register this time, thanks
[00:26] <larry2342> SuperPaco69: oh, sry cat /etc/group v?
[00:27] <SuperPaco69> thanks larry
[00:27] <superbenjo> is there any specivic driver for intel graphic card ??? mine getting hot too fast
[00:27] <superbenjo> *specific
[00:28] <ko2> superbenjo: yes there are, but all intel graphics driver are open source as i know
[00:28] <larry2342> helpmeat: tried this ? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=373441&highlight=GPG
[00:29] <superbenjo> where i can get information about it, ko2 ??
[00:29] <SeanInSeattle> Why does making a debian pkg from a python project have to be so difficult?
[00:29] <ko2> superbenjo: www.intelllinuxgraphics.org
[00:29] <D3luSi0n4L> hey all  can someone help me with Adobe Flash Player 10
[00:29] <superbenjo> thx ko2
[00:30] <D3luSi0n4L> when i goto the software center and click "use this source" it starts but like doesnt finish?
[00:30] <superbenjo> ko2, i can't load the page
[00:30] <smw> SeanInSeattle, because the process was made a long time ago.
[00:30] <bezao> what 'ip address for lo' means?
[00:30] <ko2> superbenjo: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/
[00:30] <D3luSi0n4L> if i click in progress it shows like clearing cache or something and then just continues
[00:30] <Jordan_U> ko2: There is one exception, their poulsbo drivers are proprietary and an utter mess.
[00:30] <smw> SeanInSeattle, I like archlinux package creation :-)
[00:30] <superbenjo> ok, i get it ko2 :)
[00:31] <ko2> but i think there are only drivers you must compile from source
[00:31] <smw> SeanInSeattle, it is a little difficult, but it is certainly not as hard as an RPM
[00:31] <D3luSi0n4L> anyone?
[00:31] <ko2> superbenjo: which distro do you have?
[00:31] <superbenjo> ko2, i'll try to learn it first , i use ubuntu karmic koala
[00:31] <D3luSi0n4L> can someone help me download adobe flash player 10 please?
[00:31] <linxeh> smw: I've heard plenty of people claim that rpm is far easier than a deb, so I guess it is swings and roundabouts?
[00:32] <ko2> superbenjo: if you have Karmic Koala then you can use this link: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[00:32] <helpmeat> larry2342: that worked! actually i've just commented out the line that made troubles :-) ty b
[00:32] <ko2> superbenjo: But be aware, it is a PPA!
[00:32] <UnholyTerror> D3luSi0n4L, can't you just go to adobe and install it?
[00:32] <larry2342> !yay | helpmeat
[00:32] <maco> linxeh: rpm puts everything in one giant .spec file, and debs put everything in a bunch of little files in a directory. other than that...meh
[00:32] <superbenjo> ok, i'll taking my seat :p
[00:33] <smw> linear4_, interesting
[00:33] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, no
[00:33] <smw> linear4_, meh, I guess it is what you know. I have made RPM, DEB and Archlinux packages
[00:33] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, why not?
[00:33] <maco> linxeh: they both need the same sort of information...   what files are in the package? what does it depend on to build? how about to run? what version is it? what's it's name? how do you build it?
[00:33] <smw> linear4_, archlinux packages are so easy :-)
[00:33] <carandraug> !flash | UnholyTerror
[00:33] <superbenjo> i have another problem, my ubuntu won't reboot or shutdown,, can someone help
[00:34] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, what does that have to do with anything?
[00:34] <maco> smw: i think you're pinging the wrong person
[00:34] <sam-_-> !ask |superbenjo
[00:34] <smw> maco, yep, apparently
[00:34] <dwarder> where do i get files when i print to the pdf printer?
[00:35] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, it explains the reason why you can't downlaod it from their website
[00:35] <linxeh> maco: I appreciate how they work; I've never created either though so I'm just going on word of mouth (from someone that was a big debian fan, but has moved to centos as he reckons it makes his life easier - but that might be because of corporate nonsense demanding the use of RedHat more than anything). He definitely claims RPM is easier than .deb though :)
[00:35] <smw> linxeh, I meant to talk to you :-\
[00:35] <MagicJ> how can L prevent some of the users showing up as options on the sign on screen
[00:35] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, well, you can, it would simply be way more complicated to install
[00:35] <smallie9> hello
[00:35] <smw> dwarder, ~/PDF I think
[00:35] <smw> !hi | smallie9
[00:35] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, since when?
[00:36] <maco> linxeh: ive done both. im an ubuntu dev and have had two jobs where i made rpms. i prefer debs because i dont like navigating big files and i know the tricks to autogenerate stuff easily for debs but dont know those tricks for rpms
[00:36] <helpmeat> larry2342, ubottu: i've even made it better, i've modified /etc/apt/sources.list i've changed from http://at.archive.ubuntu.com to http://de.archive.ubuntu.com: http://pastebin.com/uE6gNHV8
[00:36] <dwarder> smw: yup, ty
[00:36] <helpmeat> i love this OS :-)
[00:36] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, whatever installation method you're thinking of, can't beat opening USC, write flash on the search box and click on the button install
[00:36] <smallie9> My pc came with different card readers so I Installed ubuntu about 3 days ago, on windows when i inserted the card it would get read instantly, but since I got ubuntu it won't recognize that it's even inserted
[00:36] <smallie9> Help pls? :s
[00:37] <maco> SeanInSeattle: for making a deb from a python project, here's an example:  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gally-dev/gally/packaging/files
[00:37] <liminal> morning all
[00:37] <smallie9> i'm using a microsd card atm
[00:37] <smw> helpmeat, you know ubotu is a bot, right?
[00:37] <smw> helpmeat, ubottu*
[00:37] <liminal> I have two monitors.. monitor 1 and monitor 2
[00:38] <dwarder> smw: it is like saying that santa doesn't exist :(
[00:38] <liminal> I want monitor 1 to be monitor 2
[00:38] <smallie9> does anyone know why me memory card reader isnt working?
[00:38] <liminal> I think its an xserver config thing
[00:38] <smallie9> do i need a separate driver for it?
[00:38] <dwarder> smw: just kidding ;)
[00:38] <smw> dwarder, speaking of which. I don't think any human can deliver toys to so many houses in one night.
[00:39] <smw> dwarder, I think he is an alien :-P
[00:39] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, you can install it straight from the website...
[00:39] <helpmeat> smw: lol NO :-)))
[00:39] <trojan_spike> smallie9, search the ubuntu forum,, u more than likely will need a driver
[00:39] <maco> SeanInSeattle: you can ignore the .bzr-builddeb thing in there. thats just something i use because i have the debian/ dir in a separate branch from the source code
[00:40] <smallie9> k thnx troj
[00:40] <larry2342> smw: time is relative to Santa
[00:40] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, do you have any support question?
[00:40] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, what?
[00:40] <maco> linxeh: might want to see that link too for how debs work
[00:40] <smw> larry2342, time is relative to all. But he must be an alien to move fast enough for time to be relative.
[00:41] <liminal> ive got a support question
[00:41] <linxeh> maco: ta
[00:41] <carandraug> UnholyTerror, this is an ubuntu suppport channel. I am asking if you have a question and you need support. I'm not going to arguee with about your favorite method to install adobe
[00:41] <smw> !ask | liminal
[00:41] <liminal> how do i renumber my monitors
[00:42] <liminal> I have a multi monitor setup
[00:42] <smw> liminal, why do you want to number them?
[00:42] <liminal> they are already numbered.. 1 & 2
[00:42] <helpmeat> anyone of you having a CINERGY DVB-T usbstick running WITH remote control?
[00:42] <smw> liminal, why do you want to renumber
[00:43] <maco> liminal: you mean you want to change which is primary?
[00:43] <UnholyTerror> carandraug, I don't have a question... I was offering a suggestion.
[00:43] <smw> !anyone | helpmeat
[00:44] <liminal> yes exactly
[00:44] <liminal> 1 to be 2 and 2 to be 1
[00:45] <maco> liminal: no idea how gui things work, but with xrandr if you use like:    xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of VGA2      then because VGA2 is being used as the point of reference for the others, it's considered primary
[00:45] <tq> liminal: have you tried System->Preferences->Monitors and drag the monitors around as needed (assuming you are using gnome)
[00:45] <maco> liminal: which means   VGA1 --right-of VGA2         and        VGA2 --left-of VGA1        are not exactly the same. they end up in the same order, but the primary varies
[00:45] <bezao> when i log in my ssh, it shows 'ip address for lo : <IP_ADDRESS>' but i'm localhost, i have a router (with dhcp) that give ips, but my ubuntu-server dont get my local ip (192.168.1.x)  any ideas?
[00:46] <maco> brontoeee: lo is the localhost loopback interface. it's always <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:47] <carandraug> bezao, run 'ifconfig' and you should see it
[00:47] <theacolyte> I'm having a devil of a time trying to switch primary monitors between this DVI monitor and my display port monitor in 10.10. I'm using the intel integrated stuff. Any suggestions? Google just has stuff for VGA it looks like
[00:47] <maco> theacolyte: heh i was just saying this one...
[00:47] <maco> theacolyte: with xrandr if you use like:    xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of VGA2      then because VGA2 is being used as the point of reference for the others, it's considered primary
[00:47] <maco> theacolyte: just type "xrandr" to see the names it's using for the displays and substitute those in
[00:48] <theacolyte> maco: Problem is that seems to be for just VGA
[00:48] <theacolyte> oh
[00:48]  * theacolyte checks
[00:48] <maco> theacolyte: no it's not
[00:48] <bezao> carandraug ifconfig only shows 1 ip, <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:48] <maco> bezao: ifconfig -a ?
[00:48] <theacolyte> maco: HDMI2 and DP3 for me
[00:48] <mmlj4> android users... from a linux geek's perspective... is the phone (or tablets now, I see) going to be what i want, or should I keep looking? # my ideal toy at this point would be a nokia n900
[00:48] <maco> theacolyte: on my comp it's   LVDS1 and VGA1
[00:49] <bezao> maco it shows eth2, but no ip, i cannot ping my router <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:49] <maco> bezao: sudo dhclient eth2
[00:49] <dfhsd> Assange wrote Strobe, the first free and open source port scanner. Nowdys it's included with netdiag. Debian.
[00:49] <maco> bezao: im guessing you dont have teh computer configed to actually request a dhcp lease automatically
[00:49] <carandraug> bezao, can you pastebin it please?
[00:49] <theacolyte> maco: so right-of basically says not primary?
[00:49] <Jordan_U> !ot | dfhsd
[00:49] <bezao> maco okay, i got a local ip, but <IP_ADDRESS> doesnt ping back
[00:50] <maco> theacolyte: whatever comes *after* the --right-of or teh --left-of is the primary
[00:50] <theacolyte> ahhhhhhh
[00:50] <fleshpike> hello everyone, is it possible to use ubuntu using only an usb pen?
[00:50] <theacolyte> have to restart X I'm assuming?
[00:50] <maco> theacolyte: no
[00:50] <carandraug> fleshpike, yes
[00:50] <maco> theacolyte: xrandr is for on the fly configuration
[00:50] <theacolyte> got it, time to test
[00:50] <bezao> maco when i restart my ubuntu, eth2 looses ip again
[00:51] <maco> bezao: are you using /etc/network/interfaces or network manager?
[00:51] <maco> bezao: network manager, i think, doesnt try to establish a connection til you login in the GUI
[00:51] <fleshpike> carandraug : is it fine to surf internet?
[00:51] <bezao> maco /etc/network/interfaces has only 'auto lo'
[00:51] <theacolyte> maco: That's weird... it cut off half my primary monitor and didn't switch anything hehe
[00:51] <theacolyte> I'll look up xrandr though
[00:51] <maco> theacolyte: mm waht command did you do exactly?
[00:51] <bezao> maco, i'm on ubuntu-server
[00:52] <bezao> i'm logged as root
[00:52] <bezao> on terminal
[00:52] <theacolyte> maco: xrandr --output HDMI2 --right-of DP3
[00:52] <maco> bezao: ok then you need to add a stanza for eth2 to the interfaces file
[00:52] <bezao> wtf is stanza? :D
[00:52] <carandraug> fleshpike, two ways to do it. 1 - you install the iso on the USB stick so every time you boot from the pen it's as if you're ojn the LiveCD 9asking fi you want to install and everything, or 2 - you burn the iso on a CD or another pen, and then run the installation on the USB stick you want to install (choose manual during the drive configuration step of installation)
[00:52] <carandraug> fleshpike, yes, it's fine
[00:52] <maco> bezao: paragraph
[00:53] <maco> bezao: or section... or chunk of text....whatever you want to call it
[00:53] <maco> bezao: with dhcp that's likely just one line i think...      auto dhcp eth2
[00:53] <bezao> auto eth2, iface eth2 inet, this?
[00:53] <maco> bezao: man 5 interfaces explains
[00:53] <bezao> okay
[00:54] <maco> mm oh yes the word iface has to be at the start...forgot that
[00:54] <fleshpike> carandraug : i have a creative zen player. do you know if it is possible to use it as "hard drive"?
[00:54] <theacolyte> ouch, can't figure out how to put it back
[00:54] <maco> bezao: example from mnpage:   iface eth1 inet dhcp
[00:54] <maco> theacolyte: xrandr --auto
[00:54] <bezao> like this maco http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html
[00:54] <pngl> Hi, would anyone know why DVD (lavc) doesn't show up in my encoding list in Avidemux?
[00:55] <theacolyte> maco: xrandr: cannot find crtc for output LVDS1
[00:55] <fleshpike> carandraug : i have a creative zen player. do you know if it is possible to use it as "hard drive". i tryed once to install from it but with no sucess?
[00:55] <carandraug> fleshpike, I had one of these. Never tried to do it but I'm guessing yes.
[00:55] <theacolyte> oh I see how to use it
[00:55] <theacolyte> one sec
[00:56] <carandraug> fleshpike, hmm... if you tried before then I don't know. Maybe it doesn't. Like I said, I never tried it myself
[00:56] <maco> bezao: yep
[00:58] <d1g1ta1> how do you give user "steve" and group "users" full permissions to directory /dir and all subdirectories?
[00:58] <avance0242> hello earthlings
[00:59] <bp0> I'm running ubuntu without netmanager, just using the regular debian /etc/network/interfaces for config.. just one wired connection... "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[00:59] <bezao> maco okay when i restart the server, when i login to ssh it shows lo <IP_ADDRESS>, and eth2 <IP_ADDRESS>, BUT i can ping router <IP_ADDRESS> or my other computer <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:59] <bp0> and it works fine if the network is available at start, but if it is connected later, it doesn't try dhcp
[00:59] <bp0> it has to be done manually
[00:59] <bp0> so, whats the deal with that
[00:59] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, make 'chown -R steve:users /dir' and then 'chmod -R 774 /dir'
[01:00] <maco> bp0: auto means only that itll try it when the networking service starts
[01:00] <maco> bp0: if you want something poll the interface constantly...thats what network manager does
[01:01] <bp0> well, not poll constantly, but dhcp when the the link is ready
[01:01] <bezao> maco saw what i wrote? :D
[01:01] <avance0242> But if you multiply the proxy servers with the quantam mechanical computers maybe just maybe will you discover the meaning of the universe!
[01:01] <maco> bezao: yes, and unless you made a typo i dont see the problem
[01:02] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, the last number of 774 represents the kind of access you want users that are not steve and not from the group 'users' to have to those files
[01:02] <carandraug> 4= read 2 = write 1 = execute (you can add the numbers to make different combinations of access. For example, read + write = 4 +2 = 6, read + execute = 4 + 1 = 5)
[01:02] <bezao> maco typo?
[01:02] <fleshpike> are pen drive and flash drive the same?
[01:02] <avance0242> the first number of the server client on the protocol does not coincide with the network proxy
[01:03] <maco> bezao: yes you said it gets an ip and you can ping the other things on the network
[01:03] <bezao> sorry
[01:03] <maco> bezao: did you mean to say can't?
[01:03] <bezao> i can *NOT*
[01:03] <avance0242> bump
[01:03] <theacolyte> maco: Looks like I managed to completely destroy it, how do I reset everything back? I can't use xrandr from terminal
[01:03] <smw> fleshpike, yes. as is thumb drive
[01:03] <bezao> maco sorry i didnt saw, i cant ping other is on network
[01:03] <dfhsd> NNTPCache and Surfraw, by Julian Assange too.
[01:03] <theacolyte> I can't get why this is so difficult after all these years
[01:03] <maco> bezao: is the route properly configured?    route -n
[01:04] <avance0331>  nbbkhj
[01:04] <avance0242> a thumb drive?
[01:04] <maco> theacolyte: log out or reboot and it should revert
[01:04] <theacolyte> It didn't
[01:04] <avance0331> no a pinky drive
[01:04] <theacolyte> I tried using the GUI monitor thing
[01:04] <avance0242> but if you reboot you can unboot
[01:04] <SalahGo> In few hours, will start the conference on Open Source in Tunisia, Mark Shuttleworth will ensure the keynote @ 8am GMT, Streaming will be ensured here: http://ustre.am/rrdQ
[01:04] <superbenjo> sigh, not working
[01:05] <theacolyte> maco: Here it is .config/monitors.xml
[01:05] <Fapton_Calcon> I'm not sure where to ask this question, but is there a way to disable the "delete from drive" option within Banshee?
[01:05] <MaK10> hey every1
[01:05] <smw> SalahGo, I will be sleeping then
[01:05] <Jordan_U> !ot | SalahGo
[01:06] <smw> Jordan_U, It is not that offtopic
[01:06] <shero> just installed dual boot linux-win7 need some pointers
[01:06] <SalahGo> smw, we'll leave a podcast
[01:06] <bezao> maco http://img826.imageshack.us/i/74130201.png/
[01:06] <Jordan_U> smw: It is not related to Ubuntu support.
[01:06] <SalahGo> Jordan_U, i know, but i wanted to make the more people possible know about it
[01:07] <SalahGo> Sorry for the slight off topic anyways Jordan_U :)
[01:07] <carandraug> fleshpike, they shouold be the same. But people usually don't know what they're talking about so they may use the terms wrong
[01:07] <MaK10> hey. i have a sony vaio with nvidia graphics card. i just activated and installed the driver. now all i get on boot up is a purple screen? whats happening? sorry but im heaps noob at linux
[01:07] <shero> guys i need some help with ubuntu---just dual booted it with win7
[01:07] <Fapton_Calcon> shero: What do you need help with?
[01:08] <shero> fapton_calcon: I have no idea how to use it
[01:08] <shero> fapton_calcon: I tride the gnome shell command but epic fail
[01:08] <fleshpike> i read this "Solid state drives that use Flash memory have a limited number of writes over the life of the drive" does usb pen drive have a limited number of writes to?
[01:09] <Fapton_Calcon> shero: You don't need gnome shell to use Ubuntu.
[01:09] <SalahGo> MaK10, if u have prompt command boot even after installing the driver, try this, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:09] <bezao> saw it maco ?
[01:09] <SalahGo> MaK10, then: startx
[01:09] <shero> fapton_calcon: ya i'm just giving you an example of me trying to customize
[01:09] <D3luSi0n4L> Hey all
[01:09] <sacarlson> fleshpike:  yes they do but a prity big number
[01:09] <MaK10> i have no text on screen
[01:09] <MaK10> nothing
[01:09] <maco> bezao: yeah... and of course the router is the gateway...hrmph... any chance you just have icmp being filtered on a firewall?
[01:10] <SalahGo> MaK10, try it on safemode then
[01:10] <D3luSi0n4L> anyone here good with ubuntu problem solving? I have a wide array of things id like to do but i dont wanna span the chat
[01:10] <SalahGo> MaK10, Sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:10] <SalahGo> MaK10, Startx
[01:10] <fleshpike> ok thanks everybody
[01:10] <bezao> maco no, i'm on the same network on win seven, the ubuntu server is runnin on a vbox
[01:11] <D3luSi0n4L> Anyone?
[01:11] <maco> bezao: oooh.... bridged or nat'd?
[01:11] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: just solve the most important problems first if posible,  then just fix what you can
[01:11] <bezao> maco bridge
[01:11] <maco> bezao: routing with VMs is...not fun
[01:11] <maco> bezao: check the windows firewall
[01:11] <D3luSi0n4L> sacarlson, I've tried and have yet to find any solutions
[01:12] <maco> bezao: see if its allowing things to reach the vm
[01:12] <SceUX> 是英伟达驱动导致X-Windows不能启动的？
[01:12] <SceUX> 配置文件没更新吧
[01:12] <D3luSi0n4L> I guess my first problems, rest are just things id like to tweak is my top bar, at the right side its all misaligned, theres no power button, my username is cut off and the Xchat icon is over another
[01:12] <smw> !cn | SceUX
[01:12] <KM0201> maco: routing w/ VM's isn't difficult, so long as you set Vbox to call for it's own IP from the router... then it's just like doing it w/ another computer
[01:12] <D3luSi0n4L> there all messed up? there a way to refresh them?
[01:12] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: then you just havn't tried hard enuf,  everything has a solution,  it's just software
[01:12] <MaK10> in recovery mode do u mean?
[01:12] <Fapton_Calcon> shero: http://joneslee85.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/howto-install-gnome-shell-on-ubuntu-maverick-10-10/
[01:13] <carandraug> fleshpike, nothing that you should worry about. There's some optimizations you can make to avoid it but I wouldn't worry about it. My laptop has thos solid state drives (flash) and it's OK after more than 1 year. My brother has the same, he uses it *heavily* and is been holding for almost 3 years now
[01:13] <SalahGo> MaK10, Yes
[01:13] <D3luSi0n4L> sacarlson, im sure there are fixes but im new and i honestly dont eve know what to call half of these things
[01:13] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: refresh?  = reinstall?
[01:13] <MaK10> Salahgo, il give it a go. thanks heaps
[01:13] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: well with motivation you will learn
[01:13] <SalahGo> MaK10, Good luck :)
[01:14] <D3luSi0n4L> nah it was fine the first two times i booted just this time i booted up and they were messed up
[01:14] <bezao> maco firewall is off and i can ping win to linux, or linux do win
[01:14] <D3luSi0n4L> it was actually more like 3 - 4 times
[01:15] <D3luSi0n4L> any ideas? I'd prefer not to have to go through a brand new install
[01:15] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: the secreet for me is if it's not broke don't fix it,  that mean don't upgrade unless you see benifits in doing so.  did you upgrade?
[01:15] <maco> bezao: windows's 192.168 ip address?
[01:15] <D3luSi0n4L> I did upgrade, and the bar was fine after upgrade, just this time when i booted when i got home it was messed up
[01:15] <D3luSi0n4L> i guess a reboot is worth a try?
[01:15] <bezao> maco win <IP_ADDRESS>, linux <IP_ADDRESS>, my modem/router <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:16] <maco> bezao: and you can ping the .2 but not the .1? O_
[01:16] <maco> *O_o
[01:16] <bcurtiswx> hey all, my bzr get freezes where a password GUi screen would normally come up.  anyone know how to figure out why the GUI screen won't show ?
[01:16] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: yes a reboot is always a good idea before changing anything
[01:16] <danieltdt> ops
[01:16] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: for panel you need to just logout/login
[01:16] <bezao> maco from win, i can ping .1 but not .4, from linux, i cant ping .1 and .2
[01:16] <D3luSi0n4L> hmm ok ill try that
[01:16] <D3luSi0n4L> before i do my other small thing i wanted to change was
[01:17] <D3luSi0n4L> when i boot it gives me a list of partitions to boot from? is there a way to make a simpler cleaner way of doing this?
[01:17] <maco> bezao: i dont think this is related to your ubuntu config. i think its something in vbox...
[01:17] <bezao> maco but the dhclient eth2, got the ip from dhcp, HOW? ;/
[01:17] <sacarlson> shcherbak: D3luSi0n4L: that's true so by bar you mean the control bar ok ic
[01:17] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: panel --replace is first to try, any way (second same with no applets on panel)
[01:17] <maco> bezao: im confused too
[01:17] <bezao> maco hehe :(
[01:17] <bezao> i'll try uninstall vbox, and isntall again
[01:18] <bezao> thanks for the help :)
[01:18] <D3luSi0n4L> right now theres like 2 ubuntu options like  (Linux 2.xxx.xxx-5 then linux 2.xxx.xxx-6 and windows 7 and mem test, etc
[01:18] <D3luSi0n4L> is there a more eye appleasing way of choosing linux or windows 7?
[01:18] <shero> anyone have any tips on how to get used to ubuntu?
[01:18] <bezao> thanks maco
[01:19] <jfer> #ubuntu-devel
[01:19] <wrb123> hello
[01:19] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: KDE for ultra-super eye-candy
[01:19] <wrb123> i installed Ubuntu 10.10 (previously using Windows 7) and am happy enough with it that i would like to keep it and use it as my only OS.  i have some questions though...
[01:19] <sacarlson> D3luSi0n4L: on of my final solutions if nothing else works is create a new user and try login to that.  this will crreate a new default templete for gnome envirnment.  if that works you can rename the user or copy the template files to you original user.
[01:19] <histo> shcherbak: what do you mean get used to?
[01:19] <D3luSi0n4L> ok thanks for the help sacarlson
[01:20] <shcherbak> histo: hem?
[01:20] <D3luSi0n4L> shcherbak, is there a site where i can see what it looks like and how to install it?
[01:20] <histo> shero: what do you mean get used to?
[01:20] <histo> shcherbak: sorry wrong person
[01:20] <wrb123> ...i also want to get into programming, learning PHP and Java, but i think maybe i should become familiar first with the Linux environment and Eclipse and such. does anyone have some recommendations on tutorials for perhaps compiling packages/programs in ubuntu and then some basics of using Eclipse with Java (not necessarily doing any programming but becoming familiar with the environment) - i have previous procedural/C type experience so
[01:20] <wrb123>  PHP is seeming pretty simple as i read tutorials for it
[01:21] <wrb123> i dont want to really jump into Java without knowing what im doing as far as setting up a project and such though
[01:21] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: Kubunutu google and KDE pictures, to install just type KDE in synaptic
[01:21] <D3luSi0n4L> wrb when you install eclipse it has walkthroughs for getting used to eclipse
[01:21] <d1g1ta1> users that are not steve nor from group users should have no access, except for root
[01:21] <shero> histo: well ive been using the windows OS and got used to it; its pretty easy. Ubuntu, I want to also get to know better but seems rather difficulty
[01:22] <shero> difficult*
[01:22] <carandraug> wrb123, I think the most recommended language to learn programming is python
[01:22] <shcherbak> !abs | wrb123
[01:22] <Chiquinho> Hi, here I have information about make my bluetooth adapters works?
[01:22] <d1g1ta1> carandraug: so does the 774 = no access for users <> steve or users>
[01:22] <shcherbak> wrb123: start with bash is easiest way
[01:22] <histo> shero: well what are you having problems with ?  Something that is difficult?
[01:22] <carandraug> wrb123, http://academicearth.org/courses/introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming
[01:23] <D3luSi0n4L> shcherbak, isnt kubuntu a whole new cilent? I just want something that lets me choose to boot into either Ubuntu 10.10 or Windows 7
[01:23] <shero> histo: the terminal for example, is it a dynamic command prompt?
[01:23] <Nazaryn> Laptop: 60GB Hard Disk; 16GB MMC/SD card.. is it possible to boot from SD card / use it for Ubuntu install?
[01:23] <aurilliance> I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites.
[01:23] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, 774 means (full access for the owner of the file, full access for the users on the group that owns the file, and read only access for everyone else)
[01:23] <Chiquinho> hi somebody knows about bluetooth adapter?
[01:24] <aurilliance> How would I go about fixing this?
[01:24] <histo> shero: what do you mean by dynamic?
[01:24] <ve2ety> http://www.coolpalace.ca
[01:24] <wrb123> thanks everyone, i appreciate the help and advice!
[01:24] <D3luSi0n4L> shcherbak, right now its a big square with all these options
[01:25] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, you set the user owner and group of the files with 'chown user:group' (hence I said to run 'chown -R steve:users /dir' (the -R makes it recursive to apply it to all files inside the directory
[01:25] <Chiquinho> hi someone knows bluetooth configuration
[01:25] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: you cannot boot?
[01:25] <shero> histo: it works as multiple purposes. im not sure. can you explain to me terminal?
[01:25] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, if you want users other than the owner user and owner group, use 770 (instead of 774)
[01:25] <D3luSi0n4L> no i think im saying it wrong]
[01:25] <histo> !terminal | shero
[01:26] <Nazaryn> So what do you guys think? Installing Ubuntu on an SD card a good/bad idea? Or should I just go the traditional route and use the hard disk on the laptop?
[01:26] <histo> shero: follow the above link usingtheterminal
[01:26] <D3luSi0n4L> my laptop is dualbooted with windows 7 & Linux
[01:26] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: and, is it a problem?
[01:26] <carandraug> Nazaryn, I don't think tehere should be any problem with installing on a SD card
[01:26] <histo> shero: I only use gui for web browsing so. I spend most my time in console. Though I've been using nix for 7 years.
[01:26] <Nazaryn> I'm not sure if my laptop can actually -boot from- an SD card
[01:27] <carandraug> Nazaryn, see on the BIOS if there's that option
[01:27] <D3luSi0n4L> when i power up my machine im given a dos windows to select which os to boot from but since updating ubuntu now theres 2 ubuntu options and theres like 2 memtests and 2 windows vista options and a windows 7, the 2 vista are system restore partitions put on by hp
[01:27] <histo> shero: another place that will be helpfull is osalt.com . That site will show you open source and linux alternatives to most common windows apps. Also i'll send you the link from ubottu on installing software
[01:27] <jrib> D3luSi0n4L: question?
[01:28] <histo> !software > shero
[01:28] <carandraug> Nazaryn, plug in the SD card and when turning the power on press whatever you have to access the BIOS and see if it shows up there
[01:28] <D3luSi0n4L> jrib, is there a way to hide all the options beside Ubuntu latest version and Windows 7
[01:28] <carandraug> Nazaryn, there's usually another key that lists you all the possible boot options (without going through the BIOS)
[01:29] <shero> ubottu: how do i see private messages
[01:29] <jrib> D3luSi0n4L: to remove old linux kernels, uninstall the corresponding linux-image-* packages (take care to leave your current one installed of course)
[01:29] <histo> shero: if you're using xchat they will be in a seperate tab
[01:29] <shero> histo: what are these !"..." > shero??
[01:29] <D3luSi0n4L> jrib, is there somewhere that can instruct me on how to? I'm new to linux
[01:29] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: not sure that fix lay on side of linux, but you can try reinstall brub...
[01:29] <dr__> Ah, thank God. This works.
[01:29] <ve2ety> http://www.coolpalace.ca
[01:30] <ve2ety> http://www.coolpalace.ca
[01:30] <FloodBot2> ve2ety: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:30] <jrib> D3luSi0n4L: just go into synaptic, search for linux-image, and remove all the ones with version numbers in them (except the latest installed one)
[01:30] <shcherbak> !brub2 | D3luSi0n4L
[01:30] <D3luSi0n4L> ok thanks!
[01:30] <histo> shero: that's me trigger the bot ubottu to send you messages. We use ubottu to answer common questions
[01:30] <shero> ubottu: found the message
[01:30] <D3luSi0n4L> whats brub?
[01:30] <shcherbak> !grub2 | D3luSi0n4L
[01:31] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: follow link .../RestoreGrub
[01:31] <Nazaryn> Okay guys, going the safe route, I'm going to install on main hard disk. 60 GB hard disk, how much should I allocate to swap and other?
[01:31] <shero> histo: are these all the sites I need?
[01:31] <carandraug> Nazaryn, do you want a seaparate home directory?
[01:31] <carandraug> Nazaryn, also, do you plan on using hibernate?
[01:32] <Nazaryn> Hibernate, unsure. Maybe.
[01:32] <ylmfos> HI
[01:32] <histo> shero: for now they are a good start.  I would just use the computer as normal. If you have questions just feel free to ask in here. Someone will answer.
[01:32] <D3luSi0n4L> no link?
[01:32] <smw> Nazaryn, I recommend 15GB for /; 2*ram for swap; and the rest /home
[01:32] <D3luSi0n4L> ehh its fine ill deal with it
[01:32] <Nazaryn> I wanted to have Ubuntu automatically partition the entire disk for me, except that I'm installing from USB stick, so it might accidentally throw the bootloader onto the stick
[01:32] <D3luSi0n4L> thanks for all the help
[01:32] <carandraug> Nazaryn, do you develop your own software? And do you usually compile stuff from source?
[01:32] <D3luSi0n4L> im gonna relog and see if the panel fixes itself
[01:32] <Nazaryn> No, I don't develop or compile from source.
[01:32] <smw> Nazaryn, it won't
[01:32] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[01:33] <smw> Nazaryn, auto should work fine
[01:33] <Nazaryn> Okay, I'll go back and throw auto on then
[01:33] <smw> Nazaryn, it just does not separate the /home which I don't like
[01:33] <KM0201> Nazaryn: installing from USB shouldn't effect where grub is installed... whne you go to the drive partition stage, if you choose "advanced" you'll see the target drive for grub.
[01:33] <kevin__> what's the difference between the ubuntu dvd iso and the regular live cd iso?
[01:33] <sacarlson> Nazaryn: swap they say should be as big as the ram you have on the system,  the rest for root unless you want to split off /home but you can always do that at some other time
[01:33] <shero> hiso: thanks
[01:33] <KM0201> kevin__: dvd has more stuff on it most likely...
[01:33] <Nazaryn> Yeah, I was doing it through advanced, and I chose the hard disk for bootloader; but then I need to make the rest of the partitions myself
[01:33] <histo> kevin__: language packs I believe?
[01:33] <smw> kevin__, the dvd has more stuff
[01:34] <smw> kevin__, ah right. It has all the language packs also
[01:34] <Jordan_U> smw: http://betterubuntu.org/post/1146321280/jorges-stompbox-no-need-to-complicate-your-life
[01:34] <KM0201> Nazaryn: well, my point is, by default, the target drive for GRUB, is the internal drive. thats what you want, right?
[01:34] <Nazaryn> Also: I can toss the SWAP partition onto the SD card, can't I?
[01:34] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: you "left" some vista on win7 partition, hence make sure to not let grub see it. Pretty much manual work.
[01:34] <Snookie1> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libusbmux0_1.0.0-rc1-1ubuntu3~k_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules', which is also in package usbmuxd 0
[01:34] <aurilliance> I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this?
[01:34] <Nazaryn> Yes, I want grub to load the hard disk and not the USB (install media)
[01:35] <D3luSi0n4L> shcherbak, im a complete noob so im gonna deal with it and not mess anything up
[01:35] <KM0201> Nazaryn: that would defeat the purpose.. it's not like your swap partition needs to be very big... 1.5-2.5gigs tops
[01:35] <d1g1ta1> carandraug, what would it be for full access for owner & group & root & no access for everyone else?
[01:35] <smw> Jordan_U, so you agree with me?
[01:35] <Nazaryn> Alright, swap in front of ext4 partition, or after?
[01:35] <KM0201> Nazaryn: if you use the "guided install".. it's gonna do all this for you.. or are you wanting to do some sort of advanced partitioning?
[01:35] <D3luSi0n4L> brb
[01:35] <smw> Nazaryn, I like to put it in the middle of / and /home
[01:35] <Jordan_U> smw: If you think that in most cases it's better *not* to use a separate /home, yes.
[01:35] <Nazaryn> I want to go through the guided install, I'm just worried about grub going to the proper place
[01:36] <sacarlson> Nazaryn: I'm not sure how active swap is and sd cards I guess you mean usb flash drive have limited write cycles and I would think are a bit slower to like 1/10 the speed of standard sata or ide
[01:36] <shcherbak> D3luSi0n4L: make sure to make backup of every file you edit --> stuff.conf to stuff.conf_ ...
[01:36] <smw> Jordan_U, than I don't agree with you. Did you read the link you gave me?
[01:36] <shcherbak> too late
[01:36] <carandraug> d1g1ta1, root always has fuull access, no matter what permissions you give to the file so it's still 770
[01:36] <KM0201> sacarlson: most newer pc's, probably will never access swap, unless your'e doing some serious number crunching.
[01:37] <shcherbak> KM0201: or hibernate
[01:37] <Jordan_U> smw: Ahh, I got that link from googling and expected it to be the post quoted rather than that post.
[01:37] <sacarlson> KM0201: my swap here with 2gb ram shows  15144k in use
[01:37] <smw> Jordan_U, I agree with the post, not the quote ;-)
[01:37] <KM0201> shcherbak: my pc hibernates just fine.. as does my laptop
[01:37] <KM0201> sacarlson: mine shows 0
[01:37] <smw> Jordan_U, having a separate /home helps me keep my data when I upgrade (by reinstalling)
[01:37] <ylmfos> nimenhao
[01:38] <smw> Jordan_U, I was also able to keep data after switching from archlinux back to ubuntu
[01:38] <shcherbak> KM0201: well, never did it with no swap so cannot tell.
[01:38] <Jordan_U> smw: If you read the quoted post, http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1093664654/no-need-to-complicate-your-life , you'll see that you don't need a separate /home to keep your /home during a re-install.
[01:38] <sacarlson> KM0201: my desktop has only 2 apps running,  but this system hasn't reboot in over a week
[01:38] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> I can no longer access my network printer ... I've googled until my eye's are crossed ... I give up, I need some human help
[01:38] <carandraug> KM0201, the sawp is used for hibernation. It copies everything that's on RAM to swap
[01:38] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> My PasteBin is @ http://pastebin.com/dHKDRA2d
[01:38] <smw> Jordan_U, I would argue with anyone who wanted a separate /usr or /var ;-).
[01:39] <sacarlson> KM0201: after boot mine shows zero also
[01:39] <KM0201> sacarlson: well, my PC has been on for a while.. so.
[01:39] <smw> Jordan_U, I am reading it now
[01:39] <geekbri> smw: having a seperate var is pretty useful if your logs overflow :)
[01:40] <xhs>   shei shi nan jing de
[01:40] <smw> geekbri, which may happen... on a server
[01:40] <shcherbak> geekbri: or if system decided to remount in read only...
[01:40] <smw> geekbri, I have explained to server admins that partitioning like a server is pretty useless
[01:41] <geekbri> im not lookin for a fight!
[01:41] <geekbri> ;)
[01:42] <psykatog> 10.04 - i think the external wireless switch (on another computer) is broken in the off position. is there a way to change this through terminal?
[01:42] <melvster> anyone know if there is a webdav editor in ubuntu (I want to edit a public webdav file)
[01:43] <plightbo_> I'm on Maverick and "apt-get install gnome" is failing with some error about a missing dep (swfmozilla)
[01:43] <melvster> ive tried open office and fusedav, cant get either working, amaya keeps crashing
[01:43] <shcherbak> smw: Alway /var /usr, and recently added /tmp to collection. With too much space for users it does not harm me and is often handy
[01:43] <plightbo_> "apt-get install gnome-desktop" looks like it'll work, but it's downloading too much (Evolution, etc)
[01:43] <smw> Jordan_U, great post... it still won't change my mind. (and yes, I "upgrade" with full installs. But I don't recommend that to others ;-)
[01:43] <plightbo_> what's the package that is just basic Gnome desktop?
[01:44] <Jordan_U> smw: Fair enough :)
[01:44] <tim_> any one have experience with windows problems or knows where i can chat with some one who knows?
[01:44] <D3luSi0n4L> ok the top panel fixed itself
[01:44] <Pici> tim_: ##windows
[01:44] <D3luSi0n4L> now my last question is
[01:44] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, you might want to try gnome-desktop-environment but i think that will bring evolution, etc. as well
[01:44] <aperson> hi, whenever I go to anything via the places menu, it opens it with vlc
[01:44] <D3luSi0n4L> i downloaded the Java SDK, and its a .bin how do i install it?
[01:44] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: would gnome-shell just pull in the basics?
[01:44] <plightbo_> D3luSi0n4L: sh foo.bin
[01:45] <D3luSi0n4L> ??
[01:45] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, gnome-shell is different - it's the upcoming interface for gnome3
[01:45] <plightbo_> D3luSi0n4L: the bin is an executable
[01:45] <D3luSi0n4L> plightbo_, excuse me im a complete noob
[01:45] <itaylor57> !java
[01:45] <plightbo_> D3luSi0n4L: so execute it :)
[01:45] <iszak> Anyone familiar with FXP on ubuntu?
[01:45] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: doh
[01:45] <Pici> D3luSi0n4L: The Java SDK is in the repositories.  In the sun-java6-jdk package
[01:45] <D3luSi0n4L> oh ok when i open it it says "This application needs to be opened with
[01:45] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: I just installed it - thought it was an xterm like thing :)
[01:45] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, you should probably install the package from the ubuntu repo
[01:46] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: hopefully it still pulled down just the basics -- seemed about 20% the size of the gnome-desktop packageset
[01:46] <D3luSi0n4L> oh ok how do i go about using that? can i get it in the software center?
[01:46] <D3luSi0n4L> or do i need to go through the repositories?
[01:46] <frostyfrog> Hello, does anyone know if it's possible to remove unity?
[01:46] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, there's very little to gnome-shell right now ;)  so it didn't add much
[01:46] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, the software center is the repos
[01:46] <shcherbak> frostyfrog: yes alongside with ubuntu-desktop
[01:47] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, I can give you a command to install the jdk, or you can go through the software center and do it yourself.
[01:47] <aurilliance> I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this?
[01:47] <frostyfrog> :( I was hoping I could remove just that and get the old gnome desktop back.
[01:47] <D3luSi0n4L> can i have the command please?
[01:47] <D3luSi0n4L> i cant find it in the software center
[01:47] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, doing it yourself means you won't need to ask next time ;-)
[01:47] <petarbt> any program for simulation electrion circuit ?
[01:47] <D3luSi0n4L> ok
[01:47] <D3luSi0n4L> lets do it that way =P
[01:47] <psykatog> 10.04 - i think the external wireless switch (on another computer) is broken in the off position. is there a way to change this through terminal?
[01:48] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk is the command, use that if you can't find it
[01:48] <shcherbak> frostyfrog: check for Ubuntu independent gnome, it could be replacement
[01:48] <D3luSi0n4L> ok how do i go about doing it myself?
[01:48] <petarbt> any program for simulation electrion circuit ?
[01:48] <frostyfrog> kk
[01:48] <smw> D3luSi0n4L, I will try it myself
[01:48] <ZykoticK9> D3luSi0n4L, you need to add the partner repository before you can install sun-java-*
[01:48] <D3luSi0n4L> ok
[01:48] <D3luSi0n4L> ??
[01:48] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: what do you mean doing it yourself?... you need to adda nother repository for java
[01:48] <[thor]> petarbt: do a search in the software center for "circuit"
[01:48] <Guest31491> hello im a noob with a game instaling problem any help whould be appricated
[01:49] <smw> ZykoticK9, cool
[01:49] <itaylor57> D3luSi0n4L: also sudo apt-get install sun-jre
[01:49] <shcherbak> psykatog: it is phisical connectin, bash do not do it yet
[01:49] <D3luSi0n4L> ok what are the repos?
[01:49] <shcherbak> psykatog: lspci
[01:49] <aperson> !repositories
[01:49] <ZykoticK9> !partner | D3luSi0n4L
[01:49] <itaylor57> D3luSi0n4L: also sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[01:49] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: thats the repositories, where ubuntu downloads/installs packages from.
[01:50] <psykatog> shcherbak: I ran lspci in bash...
[01:50] <KM0201> itaylor57: that won't work on a new install, he has to enable the partner repository
[01:50] <dnivra> petarbt, hope this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-322499.html.
[01:50] <petarbt> i use ktech lab but they don't have a releay

[01:52] <Guest31491> is there a better gaming os then ubuntu 10 ?
[01:52] <[thor]> Guest31491: right-click the program and select Properties, then go to the Permissions tab, and select "Allow executing file as program"
[01:52] <Skaperen> anyone know which package has a full implementation of the tar command?
[01:52] <ZykoticK9> Guest31491, better gaming os = windows
[01:52] <shcherbak> psykatog: look for WiFI or 802 or Network controller
[01:52] <Guest31491> lol i hate windows
[01:53] <Guest31491> i want to work on linux
[01:53] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: yeah, if the game is "virus scan"
[01:53] <Guest31491> is it possable for a bigener
[01:53] <ZykoticK9> Guest31491, then all linux distros should be very close to equal

[01:53] <dnivra> !info tar | Skaperen

[01:54] <Guest31491> so whats this secure bit crap and how do i turn it off
[01:54] <psykatog> shcherbak: it says that lo, eth0, & irda0 have 'no wireless extensions', and under eth1 there's a 'radio off'
[01:55] <histo> Guest31491: you could always download the install cd and try it out. You can live boot the cd and not install anything to your drive. If you like it then you can run the installer on the desktop
[01:55] <histo> Guest31491: what secure bit?

[01:55] <psykatog> shcherbak: it just says 'unavailable',  tried adding new-> scan but nothing shows up
[01:56] <Guest31491> the permissions of airborne could not be determened
[01:56] <histo> Guest31491: what are you trying to do?
[01:56] <Guest31491> install medal of honor airborne'

[01:56] <Skaperen> dnivra: the gnu version is not a full version ... I'm looking around for a full version
[01:56] <Guest31491> yes
[01:56] <Guest31491> in ubuntu
[01:57] <KM0201> ..
[01:57] <histo> Guest31491: you need wine to run windows games in linux.  Install the package playonlinux it will be a big help
[01:57] <D3luSi0n4L> hey in the command line
[01:57] <psykatog> shcherbak:  ERROR while getting interface flags : no such device
[01:57] <[thor]> Guest31491: you probably need wine (www.winehq.com) for that
[01:57] <KM0201> Guest31491: are you trying to put it in wine?...
[01:57] <histo> Guest31491: sudo apt-get install playonlinux
[01:57] <Guest31491> i got play on linux installed already
[01:57] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: In what way is GNU tar not "full"?
[01:57] <D3luSi0n4L> it opened up a blue window and says "Configuring sun-java-jdk6
[01:57] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: right
[01:57] <D3luSi0n4L> and theres a list of stuff and when i scroll down, how do i press ok?
[01:57] <Guest31491> and wine
[01:57] <histo> Guest31491: then you have it under applications > games > playonlinux
[01:57] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: i believe the right arrow key will do it
[01:57] <KM0201> mayb etab
[01:57] <shcherbak> psykatog: hardware then
[01:57] <KM0201> *tab
[01:58] <histo> Guest31491: and walk throught hat to install
[01:58] <D3luSi0n4L> got it , thanks!
[01:58] <Guest31491> if i go thru wine it says no dvd/cd drive found
[01:58] <[thor]> Guest31491: there should be a wizard in POL that will install MOH games
[01:58] <psykatog> shcherbak:  ?
[01:58] <Guest31491> there isint just modren warfare
[01:58] <histo> Guest31491: well using playonlinux is through wine. Most people find that easier.  If you wnat to do it just through wine you have to look at the appdb.winehq.org to get directions.
[01:59] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: the GNU version does not support sockets (it did in version 1.13 and earlier, but they removed that feature)
[01:59] <manhunter> there is an option to install inside windows from ubuntu cd , if i select install inside windows ,then how can i use ubuntu from windows or how can i run ubuntu from windows?
[01:59] <psykatog> shcherbak:  I'm pretty sure it IS a hardware problem.  I think the radio switch is set to 'off' and broken there.  I'm wondering if I can't reset that or ignore it via terminal commands
[01:59] <D3luSi0n4L> hmm
[01:59] <Guest31491> ive tryed the play on lunix it installed just fine but when i click run nothing happens
[01:59] <D3luSi0n4L> when i typed sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner
[01:59] <D3luSi0n4L> it did nothing but go to the next line and clear the dir i was in now its just
[01:59] <D3luSi0n4L> >
[02:00] <dnivra> manhunter, i guess you are referring to wubi. it works as if there is a separate partition-you won't need to boot windows to run ubuntu.
[02:00] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, the "install inside windows" is actually called Wubi, it's good to "test" if you like Ubuntu or not - but it's not as good as a "real" install!
[02:00] <psykatog> shcherbak: I also tried sudo lshw -C network...
[02:01] <shcherbak> psykatog: google type of laptop and wifi swich, if there is noted software solution it would be adaptable
[02:01] <psykatog> shcherbak:  the line "*-network 1 : disabled
[02:01] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: You can try bsdtar.
[02:01] <dnivra> manhunter, read a bit about wubi here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer) then you'll understand.
[02:01] <ZykoticK9> D3luSi0n4L, your command isn't complete - CTRL+C to exit the >
[02:01] <Guest31491> so anybody ?
[02:02] <shcherbak> psykatog: is it edge swith or button?
[02:02] <D3luSi0n4L> ok ty
[02:02] <psykatog> edge switch
[02:02] <D3luSi0n4L> do you know the complete command? i copied it from someone
[02:02] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: thanks ... I'll check into that one
[02:02] <histo> Guest31491: you either have to check appdb.winehq.org or ask the peeps in teh winehq channel
[02:02] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: any experience by chance with vnc and gnome-settings-daemon? gsd keeps crashing on us when we start up vnc
[02:02] <histo> Guest31491: /j #winehq
[02:02] <psykatog> shcherbak:  an edge switch
[02:02] <Guest31491> The file '/media/Airborne/AutoRun.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[02:02] <ZykoticK9> D3luSi0n4L, sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
[02:02] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: You're welcome.
[02:02] <D3luSi0n4L> ahhh ty
[02:02] <histo> Guest31491: there is also #playonlinux
[02:03] <shcherbak> psykatog: do you have guarantee (means can you open laptop without voiding something)?
[02:03] <Guest31491> oh ok i try that
[02:03] <manhunter> dnivra, ZykoticK9 yes, it's wubi , i want to use/run ubuntu from windows
[02:03] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, sorry no experience at all with that.  best of luck.
[02:03] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, personally i view that as a bad idea - but best of luck.
[02:03] <D3luSi0n4L> hmm
[02:03] <maco> shcherbak: generally thats the thing that gets voided when you open it :P
[02:03] <manhunter> dnivra, ZykoticK9 can i use/run ubuntu from windows using the option "Install inside windows" ?
[02:04] <manhunter> ZykoticK9, why bad idea ?
[02:04] <D3luSi0n4L> sudo apt-get sun-jre or w.e says unable to locate package sun-jre
[02:04] <dnivra> manhunter, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer)" read a bit about wubi.
[02:04] <KM0201> manhunter: there's some risks in running ubuntu w/ wubi..
[02:04] <dfhsd2> manhunetr: you can use qemu and any linux
[02:04] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, making ubuntu dependant on windows make no sense to me.
[02:04] <maco> shcherbak: unless it covers accidental damage or specifically allows playing inside (like zareason's open hardware warranty)
[02:04] <psykatog> shcherbak:  no warranty, got it through craigslist
[02:05] <psykatog> it's a toshiba satellite, 3-5 yrs old
[02:05] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, you might just and to consider installing Ubuntu into a VM on windows (or the other way around)
[02:05] <manhunter> KM0201, what risk
[02:06] <KM0201> manhunter: just do some googling, i don't like to say one way or the other, because i'm biased against wubi(personal experience).. but just thoroughly research it.
[02:06] <shcherbak> psykatog: make sure to know opening procedure, motherboard type, (many nice videos on subject out there)
[02:06] <dnivra> manhunter, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer)" says what's are the risks and more things about wubi.
[02:06] <ZykoticK9> manhunter, if you get a Wubi issue - it seems few of the experienced users in this channel can help - 'cause they don't use Wubi...
[02:06] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: so I'm getting an error "Unable to initialize Clutter" when starting gnome-session
[02:07] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: know anything about that? my research says it's related to gnome-shell :(
[02:07] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: nope, bsdtar can't do sockets, either
[02:07] <psykatog> shcherbak:  so what I'm hearing is there's nothing hat can be done purely through terminal?
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, Clutter is the current "engine" used for gnome-shell, i believe you need to have 3d acceleration for gnome-shell, what graphics card are you using - OR do you have 3d support?
[02:08] <D3luSi0n4L> hey
[02:08] <shcherbak> psykatog: i do not think so, if there is nothing under your type of laptop in google
[02:08] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: i'm on Amazon EC2
[02:08] <D3luSi0n4L> one last thing before i quit annoying everyone one lol
[02:08] <shcherbak> psykatog: one moment
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, dousbt you'll get gnome-shell working then!
[02:08] <smw> psykatog, what do you mean there is nothing that can be done through the terminal?
[02:08] <raven> Hey there whats up?
[02:09] <psykatog> smw: simply that there's nothing I can't do to activate the wifi radio through the terminal instead of opening it up
[02:09] <smw> psykatog, did you try rfkill?
[02:10] <psykatog> smw: no
[02:10] <Exbte> why does ubuntu publish its users email adresses?
[02:10] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: uninstallying gnome-shell and installing metacity worked
[02:10] <jrib> Exbte: hmm?
[02:10] <KM0201> Exbte: where'd you get that idea?
[02:10] <smw> psykatog, if rfkill can't do it, nothing can
[02:10] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: I think the problem is they all switched to using libarchive and libarchive itself is the problem
[02:10] <smw> psykatog, (nothing in software)
[02:11] <Exbte> I filed a bug report about a year back and now my email is publicly available in lists.ubuntu.com/archives
[02:11] <psykatog> smw: whats the rfkill identifier?
[02:11] <smw> psykatog, rfkill list
[02:11] <jrib> Exbte: yes, lists.ubuntu.com are archived
[02:11] <KM0201> Exbte: thats why you create a hotmail account... :)
[02:11] <D3luSi0n4L> so i downloaded a thing for my browser to show Java EE
[02:11] <smw> psykatog, it is the number from rfkill list.
[02:11] <D3luSi0n4L> its call  "java_ee_sdk-6u1-jdk-linux-x64.sh"
[02:11] <D3luSi0n4L> how do i open it?
[02:11] <Exbte> Then why do they publish both username AND email into a archive?
[02:12] <jrib> Exbte: they're public mailing lists
[02:12] <Exbte> Can I get my email removed somehow?
[02:12] <smw> Exbte, lists are forever
[02:12] <Exbte> Because I don't like spam
[02:12] <Exbte> I'm suprised that anyone that uses ubuntu likes spam
[02:13] <D3luSi0n4L> anyone know how to open that?
[02:13] <jrib> Exbte: you can ask I guess but at this point it's probably mirrored in several places...
[02:13]  * jrib does not get spam
[02:13] <KM0201> Exbte: you really should have thought about that before you posted the bug report... all info there is publicly available, and i think it even says so when you post the bug.
[02:13] <psykatog> smw: rfkill list oesn't return anything
[02:13] <D3luSi0n4L> jrib, do you know how to open a .sh?
[02:13] <jrib> D3luSi0n4L: open it why?
[02:13] <KM0201> lol
[02:13] <smw> psykatog, 2 possibilities. 1. hardware block 2. no drivers
[02:14] <D3luSi0n4L> i dunno i got it so i can view a site that requires JAVA EE support?
[02:14] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: I guess I'll have to use cpio for now, but cpio is such a pain
[02:14] <KM0201> D3luSi0n4L: most the time     sh /path/to/file
[02:14] <smw> Exbte, never use your main email address for mailing lists
[02:14] <D3luSi0n4L> java_ee_sdk-6u1-jdk-linux-x64.sh
[02:14] <jrib> !java | D3luSi0n4L
[02:14] <Exbte> I didn't realise launchpad was a mailing list
[02:14] <Liath> Lawlz
[02:14] <smw> Exbte, mailing lists are public, anyone can harvest it...
[02:14] <Liath> DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0
[02:14] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information.
[02:14] <jrib> oh so hilarious...
[02:14] <psykatog> I just did a fresh install and haven't accessed a network on this pc yet, is it likely that I don't have any current drivers?
[02:14] <D3luSi0n4L> hmm ok thanks
[02:15] <psykatog> smw: I just did a fresh install and haven't accessed a network on this pc yet, is it likely that I don't have any current drivers?
[02:15] <Exbte> Yes and now my email is being harvested because Ubuntu doesnt advertise that Launchpad will publish your email adress to bots
[02:15] <manhunter> i installed virtualbox on windows ,now how can i attache ubuntu to it?
[02:15] <smw> psykatog, is this wifi? If it is, the answer is yes
[02:15] <bubbalooo> manhunter, which virtual
[02:15] <shcherbak> psykatog: another thing, check keyboard shortcuts
[02:16] <plightbo_> ZykoticK9: what are some other common window managers used with Gnome? I kind of hate metacity's look
[02:16] <slashingt> anybody knows if it is possible to semantic check any text (not just orthographic control)
[02:16] <psykatog> smw: should I try to access a wired connection and update before anything else?
[02:16] <smw> psykatog, yes
[02:16] <Exbte> Is there anyone higher up I can contact about Ubuntu being scamsters?
[02:17] <manhunter> bubbalooo, virtualbox
[02:17] <bubbalooo> manhunter, which virtual setup
[02:17] <KM0201> Exbte: that's ridiculous.
[02:17] <Spirox> s
[02:17] <Spirox> s
[02:17] <Spirox> s
[02:17] <smw> psykatog, update the pkg list and then use System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers
[02:17] <FloodBot4> Spirox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:17] <FloodBot1> Spirox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:17] <ZykoticK9> plightbo_, with Gnome?  metacity is kinda the standard, with compiz a close second (also won't work without 3d support though).  You might want to check out alternatives like xfce or lxde.
[02:17] <jrib> Exbte: that just makes you sound trollish.  Anyway, file a bug against launchpad if you feel it's not clear enough when you set a contact e-mail that others will be able to see it and see what happens
[02:17] <psykatog> smw: alright, thanks.  I'll try to figure out where I can do that...
[02:18] <ssfdre38> where can i find xml2-config file
[02:18] <bubbalooo> manhunter, just build a virtual and the use the settings to add a ISO to be read at boot up
[02:18] <Exbte> Sign in to Launchpad
[02:18] <Exbte> If you proceed, the following information will be available to Launchpad:
[02:18] <Exbte> uh
[02:18] <Exbte> isnt that what I'm trying to prevent
[02:18] <psykatog> smw : actually, I know exactly where I can do that.  http://wiki.metrixcreatespace.com/  it's like 10 blocks away, I'm spoiled
[02:18] <psykatog> (on the landlord's wifi here)
[02:19] <KM0201> Exbte: thats my point, you obviously didnt read it when you signed up, so... you should have not used that info to begin with
[02:19] <KM0201> its not their fault, its yours
[02:19] <Exbte> KM0201: It said nothing of the sort when I signed up
[02:19] <jrib> Exbte: that's just openid telling you that
[02:19] <manhunter> bubbalooo, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox
[02:19] <smw> psykatog, I am spoiled, I have fast internet :-P
[02:19] <kevon> Can someone help me out with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543868/
[02:19] <KM0201> Exbte: well.... did it not dawn on you, when reading other bug reports, that everybodys info was visible?
[02:19] <Exbte> No?
[02:19] <kevon> for some odd reason its tell me there are more users then what i see logged on.
[02:20] <Exbte> Because their email isn't visible in launchpad
[02:20] <Exbte> It's only when it gets archived into a mailing list
[02:20] <Exbte> that it becomes visible
[02:20] <hanasaki> what program can be run to max out the cpu's and leave them running>?
[02:20] <smw> hanasaki, why would you do that?
[02:20] <jrib> Exbte: it is visible in launchpad if you set an e-mail.  I don't know if there's privacy options for the e-mails or not
[02:20] <bubbalooo> manhunter, yeah that is a graet link it shows you the settings and adding the ISO, ask any questions though I'm quite familiar with Vbox
[02:21] <hanasaki> smw:  test the temp under load and 2 to max out a vm of ubuntu.. seems to hang under high load
[02:21] <hanasaki> smw:  so?
[02:21] <jrib> Exbte: ah I have the "Hide my email addresses from other Launchpad users" in my user preferences.  Do you have that checked?
[02:21] <Exbte> yes
[02:21] <smw> hanasaki, gzip /dev/random to /dev/null?
[02:22] <Exbte> and I cant see others email adresses
[02:22] <bubbalooo> manhunter, try linuxmint 10 as well seems to run better in a virtual better the Ubuntu
[02:22] <Exbte> that's what led me to believe my email wouldnt be published
[02:22] <smw> hanasaki, that will work if there is only one core
[02:22] <jrib> Exbte: you can't see my e-mail: https://launchpad.net/~jrib ?
[02:22] <hanasaki> smw:  that will run forever?
[02:22] <hanasaki> smw:  2 cores
[02:22] <dkmc360> Hey all
[02:22] <Exbte> I can see your email adress jrib
[02:22] <Exbte> but I cant see
[02:22] <Exbte> https://launchpad.net/~anthonyhunt55
[02:22] <smw> hanasaki, yep, it will run forever, run 3 of them. That will max out 2 cores ;-)
[02:22] <dkmc360> Any android users aroung
[02:22] <manhunter> i selected ubuntu.iso from hard disk but got error
[02:23] <dkmc360> Around
[02:23] <jrib> Exbte: you should file a bug.  I think if you have that checked and your e-mail is getting displayed it's an issue
[02:23] <manhunter> failed to open cd/dvd image
[02:23] <cabbie_> im on ubuntu10.10. i want to be able to run commands outside of /usr/bin. how can i do that?
[02:23] <ZykoticK9> jrib, ya, i see your email too
[02:23] <KM0201> hmm.
[02:23] <jrib> Exbte: #launchpad is probably a better place to move this discussion
[02:24] <hanasaki> how bout a cpu benchmark?
[02:24] <KM0201> Exbte: it tells me to "log in to view your email info".. are you sure you didn't choose to hvae it visible?
[02:24] <slashingt> is it possible to semantic check any text (not just orthographic control) on ubuntu?
[02:24] <bubbalooo> manhunter, have you checked the ISO MD5sum https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[02:24] <hanasaki> smw:  "not a regularfile" lol
[02:24] <Exbte> sign in and it says No public address provided.
[02:24] <smw> hanasaki, yes | gzip > /dev/null
[02:24] <smw> hanasaki, that filled up one of my cores pretty good, not sure if you even need the gzip
[02:25] <ZykoticK9> Exbte, jrib is correct - this isn't an Ubuntu issue, it's a Launchpad issue.  #launchpad
[02:25] <smw> hanasaki, nm, just yes > /dev/null
[02:25] <smw> hanasaki, make a few to fill both cores
[02:26] <jrib> smw, hanasaki: note that there is a program called "cpuburn" in theh repositories
[02:26] <smw> jrib, how is it better than yes? lol
[02:26] <smw> jrib, I don't see it
[02:26] <BBrooks> having issues resolving dns, I have static ip in /etc/network/interfaces, and my dns servesr in /etc/resolv.conf
[02:26] <jrib> !info cpuburn
[02:26] <manhunter> bubbalooo, it's official ubuntu 10.10, i created iso using magic iso software
[02:26] <hanasaki> thanks
[02:27] <hanasaki> anyone using vbox 3.2.12?
[02:27] <bluebird> morning, guys
[02:27] <BBrooks> nm just started working..wth
[02:27] <jrib> smw: I don't know how or even if it is better
[02:27] <bubbalooo> manhunter, is this a custom ISO then?
[02:27] <manhunter> bubbalooo, no, i use magic iso software to create iso from cd
[02:28] <kevon> ;/
[02:28] <smw> jrib, it ha alot of warnings on it. lol
[02:29] <bubbalooo> manhunter, If you can just download the ISO the magic iso should work but you never know
[02:29] <hanasaki> is there anything for desktop sharing with multiple people that owrks over a firewall (https) and client/server on windows and linux and mac?
[02:29] <hanasaki> and FREE
[02:30] <BBrooks> dang, now it's not resolving dns any longer
[02:31] <Skaperen> stupid cpio can't handle large files
[02:31] <BBrooks> anyone know if there are issues with repositories today
[02:32] <KM0201> BBrooks: none here..w hat repo are you having an issue w/?
[02:32] <BBrooks> KM0201, not sure, i am pointed to us.archive.ubuntu.com
[02:32] <Goddard> is there a good timesheet tracker?
[02:33] <BBrooks> KM0201, not sure but my dns keeps bouncing on my ubuntu server box
[02:33] <KM0201> hmm
[02:34] <Skaperen> I guess I have to make my own archiving format ... cpio, tar, and zip all have limitations
[02:34] <BBrooks> how can I clean apt-get update?
[02:35] <tim__> I'm running a dual boot setup, with XP on one partition(10GB), ubuntu on the other partition (110GB). Is there a good program to create an image of the XP partition so I can restore it if necessary?
[02:36] <ZykoticK9> tim__, check out the clonezilla livecd
[02:36]  * KM0201 <3's clonezilla
[02:37] <BBrooks> does clonezilla work as good as ghost?
[02:37] <bitplane> Anyone running 11.04 and compiz? fancy testing something before I file a bug report?
[02:37] <BBrooks> i have a client interested in it
[02:37] <ZykoticK9> BBrooks, better, it's free ;)
[02:37] <KM0201> BBrooks: i've never used Ghost.. so i can only tell you, i've been quite happy w/ Clonezilla
[02:37] <BBrooks> nice
[02:37] <KM0201> and it only costs about .15 for a blank CD R
[02:37] <bitplane> erm 10.04
[02:37] <Ramino> hi
[02:38] <BBrooks> is it hard to configure?
[02:38] <KM0201> i'm not sure what the going rate on Ghost is.. but i bet it's more than that
[02:38] <bitplane> oh no, it is 11.04
[02:38] <Fezzler> No sound
[02:38] <Jeruvy> I had a bad experience with ghost 15 recently and went to acronis total image.
[02:38] <ZykoticK9> bitplane, #ubuntu+1
[02:38] <KM0201> BBrooks: not really, i found it really easy... there's smoe "quick walkthroughs" on the clonezilla website.
[02:38] <bitplane> thanks
[02:38] <BBrooks> nice thanks guys
[02:39] <rusivi> KM0201: One advantage of Ghost/Acronis over FOSS (aside from corporate support) is the HAL independent cloning.
[02:39] <RegressLess> My sound stopped working in ubuntu 9.04. Any ideas?
[02:39] <KM0201> rusivi: guess i've never ran intot hat issue.
[02:39] <Fezzler> Well, no sound, Lucid, on board VIA sound chips
[02:39] <yop129> when i double click on a samba share and it gets mounted, where does it get mounted to exactly, could not find it anywhere i looked
[02:39] <rusivi> KM0201 -> http://www.uiu4you.com
[02:39] <ZykoticK9> !9.04 | RegressLess
[02:39] <KM0201> RegressLess: i'm assuming youd on't want to hear "upgrade to a supported version of Ubuntu"...
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> KM0201, too late ;)
[02:40] <nicolaus> hey
[02:40] <nicolaus> guys
[02:40] <KM0201> ZykoticK9: lol, only cuz i didn't call ubottu for help..lol
[02:40] <nicolaus> i want to install something using terminal but its alot of programs how do i install alot of programs one time in terminal
[02:41] <Goddard> i need a timesheet tracker
[02:41] <ZykoticK9> nicolaus, "sudo apt-get install program1 program2 etc"
[02:41] <nicolaus> thanks
[02:41] <nicolaus> i tried that
[02:41] <nicolaus> i did
[02:41] <nicolaus> sudo apt-get install skype
[02:42] <RegressLess> Sorry, sound stopped working in Ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas?
[02:42] <nicolaus> it said skype not found
[02:42] <histo> nicolaus: what's the problem?
[02:42] <ZykoticK9> !partner | nicolaus
[02:42] <histo> nicolaus: oh well you need the partner repo
[02:42] <KM0201> nico1038: you can download the skype.deb from skype.com and just double click it to install it
[02:42] <histo> then you can install skype from there
[02:42] <nicolaus> i am using how to forge
[02:42] <Fezzler> Intrepid has been a bear with sound and video
[02:42] <histo> nicolaus: the howto could be outdated or wrong
[02:42] <nicolaus> i am trying to get all the programs for my perfect desktop
[02:43] <nicolaus> sudo apt-get install amarok opera skype empathy flashplugin amule amule-utils vuze banshee bluefish dvdrip filezilla transmission ttf-mscorefonts-installer openoffice.org gnucash gtkpod mplayer smplayer quanta kompozer mozilla-plugin-vlc xchat-gnome sound-juicer rhythmbox acroread non-free-codes ubuntu-restricted-extras libdvdcss2 xine-ui xine-plugin thunderbird evolution
[02:43] <nicolaus> thats how i had it
[02:43] <histo> Fezzler: intrepid is unsupported
[02:43] <Fezzler> 9.04 worked best - nothing but trouble with Intrepid
[02:43] <KM0201> nicolaus: you don't need to "forge"... just download the .deb from skype.com
[02:43] <v__> hi
[02:43] <nicolaus> i am trying to get all the apps for perfect desktop
[02:43] <ZykoticK9> nicolaus, that has at least one other problem - libdvdcss2 will fail unless you add medibuntu as well
[02:43] <Ramino> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[02:43] <Ramino> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[02:43] <Ramino> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[02:43] <nicolaus> ok thanks guys
[02:43] <histo> nicolaus: well then you have to enable medibuntu and partner repo
[02:43] <Fezzler> Oops.  Meant Lucid
[02:43] <RegressLess> Ubuntu 10.4 (misspoke earlier) sound stopped working. Please help troubleshoot.
[02:44] <nicolaus> but if i want to use terminal
[02:44] <Fezzler> Lucid
[02:44] <nicolaus> to install skype is this the right
[02:44] <RegressLess> 10.04
[02:44] <histo> Fezzler: what's the problem you are having
[02:44] <SuperPaco69> hello
[02:44] <nicolaus> to install skype is this the right
[02:44] <Fezzler> G, H, I all worked well
[02:44] <nicolaus> sudo apt-get install skype
[02:44] <KM0201> nicolaus: if it's not in a repository, no
[02:44] <ZykoticK9> nicolaus, you need to add the partner repo, then your command will work
[02:44] <histo> nicolaus: yes
[02:44] <histo> KM0201: yes it is
[02:44] <KM0201> nicolaus: only if its in the repository
[02:44] <shane4ubuntu> ok, the other day I tinkered very little with iptables, and abandoned that idea, and fired up ufw instead, I allowed ssh on the local LAN but I can't ssh from laptop to cpu??  do I need to flush iptables?  or does ufw take care of that for me?
[02:44] <histo> KM0201: it's int he partner repo
[02:44] <Goddard> i need a timesheet tracker
[02:44] <SuperPaco69> one eth interface is not recognize by my ubuntu how can I fix that??
[02:44] <KM0201> histo: ok.. i wasn't aware of that...
[02:44] <ska> On one system wget downloads the .deb, but on the other, it downloads HTML code.. Apt is broken becuase of this. Perhaps I should say, apt can't deal with this
[02:44] <Fezzler> histo>> A) no sound  B) jerky video (ala You Tube) no sound
[02:44] <nicolaus> give me an example with repo plz zykotick9
[02:45] <Fezzler> histo>> Other than that - Ubuntu rocks
[02:45] <histo> !partner > nicolaus
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> !partner > nicolaus
[02:45]  * KM0201 laughs
[02:45] <histo> Fezzler: are you running 64bit?
[02:45] <rusivi> Goddard: Does OOo Spreadsheet work for you?
[02:45] <bitplane> how do I check to see if a binary is 32 or 64 bit?
[02:45] <v__> got a problem - seeking assistance:  truecrypt 7.0 - ubuntu 10.10: when launching trucrypt it cannot find libfuse (libfuse is located in /lib and has simlinks to /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib) any ideas? ps. trucrypt installed from website via scrypt
[02:45] <epaphus> Does ubuntu come with any bittorent downloader?
[02:45] <SuperPaco69> one eth interface is not recognize by my ubuntu how can I fix that? is the eth1 on ubuntu server 10.0.4
[02:45] <histo> epaphus: yes
[02:45] <KM0201> epaphus: it comes with transmission..
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> bitplane, "file binary" might work
[02:46] <rusivi> !truecrypt | v__
[02:46] <bitplane> thanks ZykoticK9
[02:46] <RegressLess> Sound stopped in Ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas?
[02:46] <histo> Fezzler: you can try installing the latest flash also to fix the sound you should try the alsa dev ppa
[02:46] <epaphus> tnx
[02:46] <bitplane> epaphus: Transmission is a good one

[02:47] <KM0201> lol
[02:47] <djwattz> does anyone know how to remove the lock file in man dvd the program wont start

[02:48] <rigved> hi everyone. i get this error when i try to sign my e-mail using evolution on ubuntu 10.04 - http://paste.ubuntu.com/543880/ i searched and found this - http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-December/032196.html but i cannot locate my gpg.conf file. can anyone tell me what is the name of the gpg.conf file?
[02:48] <rusivi> Fezzler: I found that using the newest release of Ubuntu & flash/gnash is best way to go. As well, if you have discrete graphics may look better than integrated.
[02:48] <rinku_kokiri> !altcodes
[02:48] <rinku_kokiri> !altgr
[02:48] <RegressLess> Sound stopped in Ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas?
[02:48] <Maahes> djwattz: it should be in /var/lock/
[02:48] <nicolaus> it says no command repo found
[02:48] <Maahes> you just rm the file
[02:48] <Fezzler> histo>> thanks
[02:48] <djwattz> ill try it
[02:49] <KM0201> nicolaus: you realize in all the time you've been trying to do this, you could have already downloaded skype.from skype.com, and had it installed?
[02:49] <mitnick> hello
[02:49] <Maahes> RegressLess: try restarting the pulse audio server. I know google returns a good reply on how to do that.
[02:49]  * rinku_kokiri needs help typing alt codes
[02:49] <djwattz> theres nothing in /var/lock
[02:49] <rusivi> RegressLess: Yes, test your sound in Live CD for Maverick Meerkat, then comeback and let us know if it works or not.

[02:49] <SuperPaco69> does anny one has a sudgestion??
[02:49] <nicolaus> just need to install them all at once i did it a long time ago not sure how to do it again
[02:50] <Dabian> ZykoticK9: Thaks. :)
[02:50] <rupert> i changed my name. i will repeat my question hopefully smb can see it and maybe help with it. btw i think it is not much to do. maybe just know where truecrypt looks for this library, thx
[02:50] <djwattz> ya
[02:50] <rupert> got a problem - seeking assistance:  truecrypt 7.0 - ubuntu 10.10: when launching trucrypt it cannot find libfuse (libfuse is located in /lib and has simlinks to /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib) any ideas? ps. trucrypt installed from website via scrypt
[02:50] <Dabian> ZykoticK9: That channel seems rather dead though. :(
[02:50] <SuperPaco69> how can I get a eth0 driver interface??
[02:50] <SuperPaco69> hello
[02:50] <histo> Fezzler: for the sound fix try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules
[02:50] <djwattz> ohh snap its working now for some reason thank u tho
[02:50] <Maahes> djwattz: go to the root directory and do: find -name *filename*
[02:51] <Maahes> np :)
[02:51] <Dabian> ZykoticK9: Or maybe they just hope, that if they're real quiet, I'll go away. :))
[02:51] <ZykoticK9> Dabian, if you are comfortable in english feel free to ask here.
[02:51] <rigved> Dabian: you can ask here in english
[02:51] <rupert> pls, anyone?
[02:51] <Dabian> rupert: Yes?
[02:52] <rupert> im really afraid the cops come and i need to do this
[02:52] <nicolaus> zykotick9 can u private message me plz

[02:52] <djwattz> how do a delete an old kernal
[02:52] <Fezzler> rusivi>> got latest - something is off and
[02:52] <nicolaus> ok
[02:52] <Dabian> rupert: Do you have the exact error, you get?
[02:52] <nicolaus> let me ask then
[02:52] <rupert> Dabian - i dont mind if you can do it in private also, any way you prefer
[02:53] <rupert> yes, one sec
[02:53] <nicolaus> can u give me an example with the repo thing u talking about
[02:53] <histo> Fezzler: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html for flash
[02:53] <nicolaus> sorry for being a noob
[02:53] <ZykoticK9> djwattz, search for linux-image in USC, Synaptic, or cli
[02:53] <rupert> dabian:  truecrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:53] <tim__> I guess another approach to clonezilla would be to 'import' my XP install in to a virtualbox system running on Ubuntu. Is there an easy way to do this?
[02:53] <Dabian> rupert: But you have that file, its just a symlink?
[02:54] <rigved> djwattz: via Software center. make sure that you have booted into the new kernel before you delete the old kernel
[02:54] <rupert> i have it in /lib, and i created simlinks in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib
[02:54] <ZykoticK9> tim_, you might run into issues doing that, with Windows activation type stuff.  Best of luck.
[02:54] <KM0201> nicolaus: PM me, or answer mine, i'll tell you how to add the repo... you're making a mountain out of a mole-hill though
[02:54] <Dabian> rupert: What does dpkg -S libfuse.so.2 give you?

[02:55] <shane4ubuntu> ok, how can I fix my ssh?  somehow I can't ssh into this box
[02:55] <Dabian> rupert: Sounds like you have trouble with LDLIBRARY_PATH or something.
[02:55] <shane4ubuntu> !ssh

[02:55] <king> hi osgui communityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[02:55] <rupert> dabian: how do i check ld library path?
[02:56] <Dabian> rupert: Did you compile truecrypt yourself?
[02:56] <rusivi> tim__: Clone your native Windows XP install, then to run the Live CD in a virtual machine and clone the native install into the virtual machine, then virtually eject the Live CD and restart the VM.
[02:56] <rigved> djwattz: in the top panel.  The max screen resolution is 1280x800. Would it be safe to edit the Grub2 00_header file so that GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 instead of the default 640x480?
[02:57] <rusivi> tim__: Yes or whatever L-CD you setup for cloning ;)
[02:58] <djwattz> ok thanx
[02:58] <tim__> @rusivi: Awsome man, thanks for the help, I'll give that a shot.
[02:58] <Maahes> RegressLess: try using this package: sudo apt-get install paman
[02:59] <vodkus> hey, anyone know a good channel to get some help with basic c++?
[02:59] <djwattz> ya i know where the software center is
[02:59] <pksadiq> rigved: have you created a gpg key?
[02:59] <djwattz> but i am saying where in the application do i goto to selete it
[03:00] <vodkus> im just wondering what the & means in say "void addOne(int& x);"
[03:00] <rigved> pksadiq: yes i have. i am able to encrypt e-mails. just not able to sign them.
[03:00] <skaterguy> I have a problem with ubuntu and a wireless network i have a netgear wnr1000 wireless n router. but for some reason i cant see the wireless network
[03:00] <rigved> pksadiq: encrypt to myself, that is
[03:01] <pksadiq> rigved: try locate gpg.conf     to locate the file,
[03:01] <rusivi> skaterguy: Is your wireless n router draft n?
[03:01] <ZykoticK9> skaterguy, are you able to see other wireless networks?  some wireless cards in linux don't support all encryption types - if you disable encryption on the router can you connect?
[03:02] <KM0201> skaterguy: well, its probably not the router, my router works fine
[03:02] <skaterguy> its mixed b/g/n
[03:02] <rigved> pksadiq: i tried. couldn't find it. so i went searching manually. found it in .gnupg. i thing locate does not search in hidden folders.
[03:02] <rusivi> skaterguy: Right but is the n the draft n status?
[03:02] <Dabian> FloodBot*: You guys really live up to your names, lol.
[03:02] <skaterguy> yes
[03:02] <Dabian> rupert: I am reading on the truecrypt website.
[03:02] <skaterguy> i can see others
[03:03] <Dabian> rupert: Where does truecrypt install?
[03:03] <skaterguy> zykotic
[03:03] <rusivi> skaterguy: If it's draft and you have problems that's not a surprise.
[03:03] <ZykoticK9> !tab > skaterguy
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> skaterguy, if you can see other networks it's probably your wireless card in your computer that's giving you the issue.  best of luck man.
[03:04] <rigved> pksadiq: thanx for your help
[03:04] <tim__> Rats, I'm trying to install virtual box from the software center, and I keep getting an error about it requiring installation of untrusted packages. I'm running 10.04. Any ideas?

[03:07] <djwattz> thanx
[03:07] <skaterguy> Rusivi how can i find out what i have
[03:07] <rinku_kokiri> or uname -r
[03:07] <c0l2e> what d'you call that microsoft user syndrome??
[03:07] <ZykoticK9> djwattz, it's a good idea to keep 2 kernels, a known working and current
[03:08] <rinku_kokiri> how do you type in unicode?
[03:08] <rusivi> skaterguy: What is your model # of your Netgear router?
[03:08] <c0l2e> which making previous user of windows getting hard time to familiar to another OS
[03:08] <ZykoticK9> !repeat | rinku_kokiri
[03:08] <djwattz> how do i check what preveoius kernal i have
[03:08] <pksadiq> rinku_kokiri: where? if in gedit you can do CTRL + SHIFT + U and the unicode code
[03:08] <sacarlson> rinku_kokiri: what uses unicode?
[03:08] <rupert> dabian: i fixed it but now i get this: truecrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[03:08] <rinku_kokiri> i uses unicode
[03:08] <ZykoticK9> djwattz, "dpkg -l | grep linux-image"
[03:08] <sacarlson> rinku_kokiri: what application uses unicode?
[03:09] <rinku_kokiri> sacarlson, i uses unicode
[03:09] <ZykoticK9> rupert, are you trying to install 32bit truecrypt onto a 64bit OS?
[03:09] <sacarlson> rinku_kokiri: so I guess you must be good at talking to yourself
[03:09] <djwattz> didnt do anything
[03:10] <rinku_kokiri> sacarlson, didn't ask for a question or to be interrogated.. i asked how to type in unicode... and that method DOES NOT work in opera
[03:10] <ZykoticK9> djwattz, that's strange.  sorry i don't know then.
[03:10] <djwattz> its all good
[03:10] <rupert> zykotick: nope im 32 bit. i just read up the library is 64bit so thats weird
[03:10] <Dabian> rupert: How did you fix it?
[03:11] <rupert> dabian: i solved library requirements with ldd
[03:11] <ZykoticK9> !tab > rupert
[03:11] <RegressLess> Maahes: tried that and a reboot. still nothing
[03:11] <rinku_kokiri> so i can't triforce in ubuntu??
[03:11] <rinku_kokiri> fail
[03:11] <ZykoticK9> rupert, sorry man - i avoid all encryption issues, so best of luck.
[03:11] <djwattz> ok how do i know i remived the preveious kernal
[03:12] <pksadiq> rinku_kokiri: CTRL+SHIFT+U <code> works almost everywhere
[03:12] <Dabian> rupert: Interesting!
[03:12] <rupert> ZykoticK9, np... hackin away lol... brings back highschool memories on 486 dx2  :)
[03:12] <rojoheimer> hello guys

[03:17] <histo> arox: yeah i'd go unr rather than xubuntu
[03:17] <arox> I'm trying to clear the USB drive to put Ubuntu Netbook on it and it says "mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /
[03:17] <arox> mount failed." when I try to access it,
[03:17] <Dabian> arox: Are you sure sda1 is still your USB drive?
[03:17] <Dabian> arox: I doubt that.
[03:18] <mandriva_> hi
[03:18] <Dabian> arox: sdb1 might be your usb drive instead.
[03:18] <arox> I'm sorry I'm not very good at this linux stuff so I don't really know what sda1 is.
[03:18] <Echo_> I am trying to allow irc chat to connect under firestarter but i dont know which service to use can someone please help?
[03:18] <arox> Is that just the port that it's plugged into?
[03:18] <Dabian> arox: sda1 is SCSI disk a, partition one.
[03:19] <Dabian> arox: Due to historical issues, the naming of SCSI drives doesn't relate to LUN's.
[03:19] <Fezzler> histo>> still no sound
[03:19] <mandriva_> what's the problem?
[03:19] <Fezzler> histo>> installed the driver at link provided
[03:20] <arox> So, what should I do? I'm sorry I'm so  green to all of this.

[03:21] <Maahes> RegressLess: check your syslog and dmesg and look for errors relating to pulseaudio
[03:21] <laurus> When I plug in my external USB HD, it is mounting at /media/ga9eir-952d... It used to mount at /media/disk . Is there a way to make it do so again?
[03:21] <sacarlson> Echo_: I would asume firestarter will still allow you to connect out and allow in after connection astablished,  so pidgin should work
[03:21] <Dabian> arox: Btw, instead you might install ubuntu-netbook.
[03:21] <Dabian> rupert: Thats probably a bug then!
[03:22] <mandriva_> please help me "how to run turbo C++ in ubuntu 10.10"
[03:22] <bandeira> laurus, yes, there is.. you can edit your /etc/fstab

[03:23] <rupert> Dabian, nop actually the one i dlded is 32bit. sweet. finally lolz
[03:23] <laurus> bandeira, I see "errors=remount-ro 0       1" in that file on the drive's line... does that mean there is an issue?
[03:23] <sacarlson> mandriva_: you can probly port some of the libs used in turbo C++ but I guess not all would work in linux
[03:23] <Dabian> rupert: OK .. a word of advise .. keep a backup somewhere, before you crypt your stuff.
[03:24] <zfe> empathy is probably the most bugged software i have ever used
[03:24] <zfe> in my life
[03:24] <Dabian> rupert: People tend to loose their encrypted stuff, because they don't think it will happen to them.
[03:24] <pksadiq> laurus: go to system > Administration > disk utility > select the drive and change the label name, from the next time it will automatically mounted with label name in any ubuntu system
[03:24] <rupert> Dabian, thats good advice, but i am still waiting to get the big hdd delivered till then i cross my fingers
[03:25] <Dabian> rupert: Good luck. :)

[03:25] <laurus> pksadiq, does that utility use e2label?
[03:25] <pksadiq> mandriva_: why turbo c++, are you saying the c++ of the oldy schools?
[03:25] <bandeira> laurus, copy the whole line which contains the partition you'd like to mount.

[03:26] <pksadiq> laurus: I don't know whether disk utility does, but e2label , I thinks allows only to label linux partitions, especially ext*
[03:27] <sacarlson> Dabian: rupert: ya they say if you really want to delete something encrypt it and trash the keys,  even the fbi can't get it back
[03:27] <laurus> pksadiq, that's okay, this is an ext3 formatted drive
[03:27] <arox> yeah just a little confused
[03:27] <Fezzler> histo>> here?
[03:27] <pksadiq> mandriva_: c or c++?
[03:27] <pksadiq> laurus: ok, then carry on
[03:28] <laurus> pksadiq, by the way, how do I tell that this drive is sdb1?
[03:28] <gumby52> Hi,  is there any "security" one should do to Ubuntu out of the box... or is it reasonably secure?  I'm not worried about physical access.
[03:28] <laurus> I somehow remember that, but how do I confirm it?
[03:28] <bandeira> laurus, on a "option" field, write defaults
[03:28] <Fezzler> No sound in Lucid.  Just re-installed alsa drivers
[03:28] <izinucs> gumby52: what are you worried about then?
[03:28] <pksadiq> laurus: using e2label?
[03:28] <laurus> bandeira, sorry, what do you mean?
[03:28] <arox> Ok so I did that thing you told me to do, now what?
[03:28] <mandriva_> pksadiq: generally we have to use C

[03:29] <laurus> pksadiq, er, but device has to be something like /dev/sdb1 right?
[03:29] <smw> gumby52, just don't install from untrusted sources

[03:29] <mitnick> hello
[03:30] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: does the server have a gui or vm running?
[03:30] <gumby52> ok. thanks.  I guess I could do a netstat and check the ports.. but I haven't used ubuntu.  mostly use AIX, HPUX and Solaris
[03:30] <nit-wit> grendelson, are you trying to downgrade or make another install separate
[03:30] <pksadiq> laurus: yes
[03:30] <mitnick> recommend me a software for see my hardware pls
[03:30] <gumby52> decided to scrap microsoft on this new computer
[03:30] <laurus> pksadiq, so how do I know which one it is?
[03:30] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: or is it cli only?
[03:30] <grendelson> nit-wit, I suppose I'll do a clean install - seems the best way to get a fresh start - I have speartae home / var/ etc
[03:31] <grendelson> so won't lose any home dir stuff
[03:31] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, it has a gui, but i generally just access it via ssh
[03:31] <pksadiq> laurus: try the command df
[03:31] <grendelson> but I've been upgrading for a few major version and my login is all goofy - I have to purpoely run a script to go to compiz and back and  want to just get the "generic " desktop any user would get
[03:32] <rupert> ok Dabian ZykoticK9 sacarlson, i got it to work. thx for all the help. have a good one. peace
[03:32] <Echo_> figured it out"how to configure firestarter to allow irc chat to connect" not bad for a noob huh?LOL
[03:32] <gumby52> always good to figure out anything new.
[03:32] <nicolaus> lol
[03:32] <nit-wit> grendelson, it is consfusing when you say from 10.q0, but yeah if you have the room go for another install. You have a extended surrounding the whole thing or just the swap
[03:32] <nit-wit> 10.10
[03:32] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: well.. you have a couple of options.. setup ssh -X and then run gnome remotely or ssh and stick with apps that run directly on X
[03:32] <gumby52> lol I've been working on unix for years.  Now I need to learn how to use a gui.
[03:32] <arox> Dabian, I typed in the ls /dev/sd* prompt and it gave me a list of the /dev/sd things what do I do with those?
[03:32] <laurus> pksadiq, thanks!
[03:33] <nicolaus> i am kinda new to linux so i am trying to figure it all out
[03:33] <nit-wit> gumby52, ohh the realdarkside UNIX
[03:33] <grendelson> nit-wit, Yes I'm sorry _ 10.10 has been problematic so rather than try to "downgrade"I' was going to format all OS drives and reinstall...
[03:33] <Echo_> gumby unix is like the terminal huh?
[03:33] <Dabian> arox: one of them is your usb
[03:33] <Dabian> arox: But maybe you just want to apt-get install ubuntu-netbook?
[03:33] <gumby52> well strictly command line stuff for work
[03:33] <pksadiq> !info mingw32 | mandriva_
[03:33] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: that would be gnome without vnc .. just over ssh
[03:34] <arox> That might be easier. :] Can I do that from the ubuntu website?
[03:34] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, neither of those are what i want to do. i no not want to run a remote x, i just want to have the server be a vpn server for the client.
[03:34] <grendelson> nit-wit, But since I plan on keeping Home Dir I know that the goofed up desktop will remain so I need to first figure out what to Wipe to Clean up the desktop to "New"  ( as if I was a new logged in user)
[03:34] <nit-wit> grendelson, soounds like you know what to do I never seperate home I just do standard installs, so I can't be of help.
[03:34] <pksadiq> mandriva_: enough?
[03:34] <gumby52> I don't mind command line. i'm pretty comfortable there.  it's trying to figure out where things are in the gui that's interesting
[03:34] <Echo_> kool, ive been on windows all this time i dont think i will be going back!
[03:34] <eman2> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 and it won't recognize my hard drive (neither with Gparted). Forums were no help. Can anyone here help me?
[03:34] <Dabian> arox: Just type on command line:
[03:34] <smw> gumby52, I know the feeling
[03:35] <nit-wit> gumby52, shiny and one click at a time.;)
[03:35] <gumby52> I tired to get 2 "games" running through wine.  I got Civ V to work through wine with steam.... couldn't get DOD:source to work
[03:35] <Dabian> arox: apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
[03:35] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: ok.. ssh'ing into the server allows you to do what you want.. openvpn could be setup for essentially the same thing..
[03:35] <grendelson> Anyone able to point me to a link that will tell me what Files I need to check or clear or delete to get a Generic Desktop under Ubunto 10.04 or 10.10 ( Gnome)?
[03:35] <gumby52> it's all good.
[03:35] <Fezzler> How do I fix no-sound problem?
[03:35] <aurilliance> I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this?
[03:35]  * izinucs says humm
[03:35] <magn3ts> Is it likely that gnome-panel will remember the ordering of my applets? Or should I just forget that dream?
[03:36] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, ssh doesn't transparently file everything from the client through the server
[03:36] <Echo_> hey gumby what games you tring to install?
[03:36] <Dabian> magn3ts: You can right click and lock them.
[03:36] <Fezzler> I don't even see Sound in Preferences or Administrator menus.  Odd
[03:36] <arox> Could not open lock file, unable to lock the admin dir... are you root?
[03:36] <Dabian> magn3ts: It works for a while, usually.
[03:36] <mandriva_> pksadiq: can i search it in synaptic as "mingw32"
[03:36] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: how do you mean..
[03:36] <arox> Is what it spat out at me, with some extra stuff in between.
[03:36] <devslash> if i forgot the password for my encrypted ubuntu install, is there anything i can do to reset it
[03:36] <Dabian> arox: ahh .. sorry
[03:37] <Dabian> arox: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
[03:37] <pksadiq> mandriva_: of course, that too helps you to find more
[03:37] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, if i connect to a vpn on my laptop, all my network traffic gets forwarded to that destination through an encrypted tunnel
[03:37] <gumby52> Echo_ trying to run dod source through steam
[03:37] <mandriva_> pksadiq: thanks in advance, i will try this
[03:37] <gumby52> I can get steam running... and can get civ V to work
[03:37] <nit-wit> grendelson, try this site left column playing around  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index
[03:37] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: ok.. so if that is what you're looking for then openvpn is probably your answer..
[03:37] <gumby52> I tried to use various video options like -gl and others
[03:38] <Dabian> arox: It will take a little time, depending on the speed of your connection. >)
[03:38] <gumby52> never got it to start... it just kicks up and dies.
[03:38] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, is openvpn a hassle to set up?
[03:38] <devslash> if i forgot the password for my encrypted ubuntu install, is there anything i can do to reset it
[03:38] <gumby52> I have wine1.3.8 installed
[03:38] <pksadiq> mandriva_: thank if it works, else it's just wasted ;)
[03:39] <StrangeCharm> devslash, if it's actually encrypted then no. that's the whole point
[03:39] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: never done it myself.. on the client side network manager will handle it.. on the server side you have to do some setup.. just not sure how much.
[03:39] <aurilliance> Anyone here know why PING would have stopped working after my most recent update?
[03:39] <grendelson> nit-wit, Thanks
[03:39] <gumby52> and I put wintricks on also
[03:39] <StrangeCharm> izinucs, i guess i'll have some fun then
[03:39] <izinucs> StrangeCharm: just another project :)
[03:39] <pksadiq> !details | magn3ts
[03:39] <Dabian> aurilliance: Other than to annoy you, you mean?
[03:40] <nit-wit> grendelson, hopefully that is what will works.;)
[03:40] <devslash> StrangeCharm: nm i remembered it
[03:40] <nit-wit> work
[03:40] <gumby52> Echo_: you play any games through steam
[03:41] <pksadiq> .whois
[03:41] <magn3ts> Dabian, it lcoks them and then messes them up when I reboot, then they're locked so I have to go through the hassle of unlocking and re-moving
[03:42] <aurilliance> Dabian: exactly ;)
[03:42] <Dabian> aurilliance: What error do you get?
[03:42] <magn3ts> I'm actually thinking of starting a blog and recording their position at shutdown and at boot everytime I have to restart. Get a twitter account and post the screenshots.
[03:43] <ska> Apt is broken. Can't fix: http://pastebin.ca/2019939
[03:43] <aurilliance> Dabian: nothing, normally ping times out, however it just sits there not doing anything at all
[03:43] <aurilliance> It doesn't even print anything
[03:43] <Dabian> magn3ts: Flickr might be better for that.
[03:43] <Dabian> magn3ts: Which graphics card do you have?
[03:44] <aurilliance> Dabian: I'm starting to suspect a router issue, I can use wget without logging in to an ftp server, but when I do it it with a login on a secure ftp server it doesn't work...
[03:44] <nicolaus> hey when i oprn synaptic package i see this message
[03:44] <nicolaus> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:44] <nicolaus> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[03:44] <Echo_> does anyone use clam?
[03:44] <iszak> I give up with FXp.
[03:44] <nicolaus> hoe do i fix it
[03:44] <iszak> FXP
[03:44] <iszak> yes FXP is a hoe.
[03:44] <Dabian> aurilliance: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:44] <Echo_> lol iszak :)
[03:44] <Dabian> aurilliance: What does that give you?
[03:44] <sacarlson> ska: I think hardy might be at end of life
[03:44] <aurilliance> Dabian: it works fine
[03:44] <sarah1> Hi all
[03:44] <ska> Every file I try to wget, even images, gets interpreted as an HTML file.
[03:44] <aurilliance> same with localhost
[03:45] <izinucs> nicolaus: it means you have to run the command it gives you from terminal to hopefully fix the problem
[03:45] <magn3ts> Dabian, nvidia...
[03:45] <Echo_> clam or avast???
[03:45] <sarah1> i want to convert .html ebooks to .prc format so i can put them on my kindle
[03:45] <magn3ts> but I had the same issues on laptops with Intel graphics
[03:45] <sarah1> I used to do it with mobipocket creator on windows
[03:45] <nicolaus> thanks izinucx:
[03:45] <izinucs> sarah1: why not convert to pdf.. kindle should read that.
[03:45] <smw> sarah1, look into calibre
[03:45] <nicolaus> i didnt put the two --
[03:45] <sarah1> but linux dislikes mobipicket
[03:45] <gumby52> so I just got DOD source to start up about 3 mins ago :)  progress
[03:46] <sarah1> you can't change the font in .pdfs on kindles
[03:46] <ska> How do I get my ubuntu version?
[03:46] <sarah1> i like my letters big!
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> ska, lsb_release -a
[03:46] <nicolaus> i install ubuntu and it didnt install grub can someone help me get grub loader plz
[03:46] <Dabian> aurilliance: might be a problem with the nameserver or router then.
[03:47] <pksadiq> !info calibre | sarah1
[03:47] <izinucs> !grub2 | nicolaus
[03:47] <sacarlson> ska try look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[03:47] <Echo_> Does anyone use clam?How reliable is it?
[03:47] <aurilliance> Dabian: yeah. I'll check again later at home and see if the issue persists (on work wifi atm). Thanks for the help mate
[03:47] <Dabian> aurilliance: No problem, good luck. :)
[03:47] <nicolaus> i install ubuntu and now i cant get on my windows side
[03:47] <Dabian> aurilliance: What if you type "host google.com" btw?
[03:47] <Echo_> guess not lol
[03:48] <Dabian> Oh well. :D
[03:48] <Dabian> Seems he will get along.
[03:48] <sacarlson> nicolaus: can you bring up the grub menu at boot time?
[03:48] <nicolaus> nope
[03:48] <Dabian> sacarlson: If not at boot time, when? :D
[03:49] <nicolaus> just go straight to ubuntu
[03:49] <pshifter> it should come up automatically
[03:49] <pshifter> if you have multiple OS's
[03:49] <Dabian> sacarlson: (Sorry, just joking) :)
[03:49] <sacarlson> Dabian: that would be the only time I know,  so what is the method to bring up the menu at boot?
[03:49] <KM0201> nicolaus: are you sure you dual booted?.. and didn't erase windows
[03:49] <ska> sacarlson: I can't even update my cache now, so I can't upgrade
[03:49] <sacarlson> Dabian: no problem
[03:49] <nicolaus> i am sure i didnt erase it
[03:50] <pshifter> two HDDs or one that's partitioned?
[03:50] <nicolaus> 100% sure
[03:50] <Dabian> sacarlson: I think holding CTRL or shift or something like that, maybe pressing ESC.
[03:50] <pksadiq> nicolaus: I hope you are using grub2 , ok?
[03:50] <sacarlson> Ska did you read the methods stated in the link I showed you?
[03:50] <Dabian> sacarlson: I only booted the default kernel for years, I guess.
[03:50] <nicolaus> it should be grub2
[03:50] <pshifter> try: sudo update-grub
[03:50] <ska> I figured it out!
[03:50] <nicolaus> i am using ubuntu 10.10
[03:51] <Dabian> sacarlson: or I do it without thinking.
[03:51] <pshifter> will automatically scan all the boot records on any disk attached
[03:51] <ska> The firewall is filtering the incoming http stream!
[03:51] <pksadiq> nicolaus: follow pshifter
[03:51] <pshifter> when you do a fresh 10.10 install it might not have seen all the boot records
[03:51] <Dabian> sacarlson: If you can boot, you can also insert a timeout, in the config file, and run grubinstall again, or something like that.
[03:51] <ska> All of the http data is ruined by it.  Please advise!
[03:52] <nicolaus> oh didnt read pshifter
[03:52] <Dabian> sacarlson: My brother in law sometimes uses ms-windows, in order to play video-games.  He has a long delay, ten seconds or something.
[03:52] <nicolaus> trying now
[03:52] <sacarlson> Dabian: you should add nicolaus: to your comments it is he that needs to know
[03:52] <pksadiq> pshifter: it's not a human,to make such errors ;)
[03:52] <Dabian> sacarlson: Oh, ok.
[03:52] <ska> sacarlson: I know how to upgrade several different ways, but I need to fix the firewall filter that is doing this.
[03:52] <Dabian> nicolaus:  My brother in law sometimes uses ms-windows, in order to play video-games.  He has a long delay, ten seconds or something.
[03:52] <Dabian> !grubmenu
[03:53] <nicolaus> ok
[03:53] <nicolaus> seems like this work
[03:53] <nicolaus> thanks pshifter
[03:53] <Dabian> nicolaus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Permanently%20On%20An%20Existing%20Installation
[03:53] <nicolaus> brb restarting
[03:54] <sacarlson> Ska: ok so you don't really need an upgrade then you can fix a firewall in 8.04 with iptables
[03:54] <eman2> Ubuntu isn't recognizing my hard drive. Can someone help me or direct me to someone who can?
[03:54] <pksadiq> eman2: are you in ubuntu now?
[03:54] <eman2> pksadiq: yes
[03:54] <sacarlson> Ska: maybe pastebin sudo iptables -L to see if the firewall is really your problem
[03:55] <eman2> pksadiq: actually, a terminal in Gparted live CD
[03:55] <ryansmith> Samba doesn't seem to allow me to use my network printer unless I first restart the service. Anyone know what might be going on?
[03:55] <nicolaus_> nope thats didnt work
[03:55] <ryansmith> browsing the shared folders works fine without the need for a restart
[03:56] <pksadiq> eman2: what does ls /dev/sd* shows?
[03:56] <eman2> pksadiq: nothing shows up, that was the first thing I checked
[03:56] <Fezzler> No sound - Lucid
[03:56] <pksadiq> nicolaus_: while you tried update-grub did it say something about windows?
[03:56] <nicolaus_> nope
[03:57] <Dabian> nicolaus_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command%20Line%20and%20Rescue%20Mode
[03:57] <arox> Dabian, it's done.
[03:57] <sacarlson> nicolaus_: you should be able to if the windows partition is still visable  if you mount it from ubuntu,   you also see it in gparted
[03:57] <pksadiq> eman2: have you tested the same hard disk in any other OS or computer?
[03:57] <Dabian> arox: Nice. :)
[03:57] <eman2> pksadiq: yes, it works fine in Windows
[03:57] <Dabian> arox: You can create a new user, from the admin menu.
[03:58] <Dabian> arox: but you might wanna reboot first (or log out and log back in), to see if it works.
[03:58] <Dabian> arox: If not, create a new user, and log in as that new user, and see if its works.
[03:58] <arox> Okay
[03:58] <mitnick> hello
[03:59] <xnarayan44> so I'm looking for a good security tools distro
[03:59] <Fezzler> okay - I have Audacity playing back somehing
[03:59] <Pici> xnarayan44: So you're asking in a channel that is specific to one distro.  ##linux would be the best place to ask.
[03:59] <pksadiq> eman2: and so sudo fsck ?
[04:00] <sacarlson> xnarayan44: maybe backtrack
[04:00] <jrmcm> What is the differance between an alias and a function?
[04:00] <eman2> pksadiq: all it says is fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
[04:01] <eman2> pksadiq: do you think I need to change anything in the bios? if so, what would I be looking for?
[04:01] <ska> sacarlson: Thanks for helping. It turns out the firewall is another box upstream from me. Its doing deep filtering and causing havoc.
[04:01] <zer0rez> i need help pairing my apple wireless aliminum keyboard w/ my ubuntu machine
[04:02] <sacarlson> ska: very good
[04:02] <Pici> jrmcm: aliases can't take arguments and process them.
[04:02] <zer0rez> i can pair my logitech mouse and my magic trackpad fine, but the keyboard refused to pair
[04:02] <pksadiq> eman2: I don't thin so, If windows detects then ubuntu will be also doing the same
[04:02] <mitnick> guys what is the command when i have broken paquets on ubuntu?
[04:03] <elfranne> any idea why my mplayer starts to "lag" after 14-15min on video files ? works fines on vlc

[04:05] <arox> I don't think it worked..
[04:05] <arox> I think it's still xubuntu.
[04:05] <pksadiq> eman2: lshw is in ubuntu by default
[04:06] <pksadiq> !find lshw | eman2
[04:06] <sacarlson> SuperPaco69: not recognized like nothing in ifconfig?   what is seen with lspci?
[04:06] <eman2> pksadiq: i corrected myself when i said i was running ubuntu, it's actually a gparted live cd, based off debian
[04:06] <SuperPaco69> does any one knows how can I down load the hardware driver app in a server??
[04:06] <eman2> pksadiq: regardless, it appears the command isn't available
