[00:00] <Dr_Willis_> konam:  try   clicking on the 'trash' icon on the left hand side in nautilus?
[00:00] <marcusdavidus> nvm]
[00:00] <shigeo> samantha-, oh yes now i remember. (shame on me! i had this very issue a month ago at work...). there seems to be a bug in the current installer.
[00:00] <Dr_Willis_> konam:  i dont reccomend using nautilus as root.
[00:00] <marcusdavidus>  im  fucking idiiot
[00:00] <marcusdavidus> i find out olk
[00:00] <marcusdavidus> :P srry to much alko
[00:01] <marcusdavidus> ]cheers
[00:01] <samantha-> shigeo, fix?
[00:01] <elky> marcusdavidus, you're not very coherent, might i suggest you go sleep it off.
[00:01] <play4> exit
[00:01] <Dr_Willis_> konam:  or the url -> trash:///
[00:01] <blud> soreau: i did that rmmod ati_remote and mythtv still crashes when you exit it
[00:01] <blud> never did that before
[00:02] <blud> but i think i need to solve this other issue first to see if it clears it up... Problem is mythtv loads at start but also mythbuntu prompts me to enter a keyring password and then a wpa2 password
[00:02] <blud> like every time i boot
[00:02] <shigeo> samantha-, i stumbled upon this bug while trying to install to a system with a fakeRAID. it seems that the installer (at least the graphical ubiquity installer) installs grub to the /dev/sda per default. my last status of this bug is that you have basically two choices......
[00:02] <blud> how do i make it not do that? i just want to have it save my wireless password and never ask me again
[00:02] <Dr_Willis_> blud:  you can set the keyring to not ask for its unlock password.
[00:02] <konam> Dr_Willis_ i can't open that url, writing it on nautilus using 'location'
[00:03] <Dr_Willis_> system -> perferances -> passwords and enc.   right click on the login item,. and set a blank password. it will ask to 'use unsafe storage'
[00:03] <Dr_Willis_> konam:  and the trash icon on the left hand panel does what?
[00:03] <shigeo> samantha-, you can either wait for ubuntu 10.04.2 next month or so (assuming you want the LTS), or you can boot into your system with external help, then issue a "grup-install /dev/sdX" where sdX is your hard disk.
[00:04] <samantha-> shigeo, does lilo exhibit the same behavior? i'm certainly not married to grub.
[00:04] <Dr_Willis_> samantha-:  lilo is so old.. its proberly going to be very problematic these days
[00:04] <solo_> Please help me anyone!!! I get from wicd "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address". wicd sees the signal and scans the network but can not connect. The network is open. The first time the connection was successful but after 2 minutes gone. When working in opensuse with native drivers such samples do not. Everything is stable and long on the same network and on the same laptop.
[00:04] <blud> Dr_Willis_: where do i set keyring settings or find keyrings or whatever
[00:04] <samantha-> aand i'm installing 10.10
[00:04] <shigeo> samantha-, i would recommend using the "super grub disk" from http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ for booting your ubuntu, then issue "grub-install /dev/sdX"
[00:04] <Dr_Willis_>   blud   i just said ->    system -> perferances -> passwords and enc.   right click on the login item,. and set a blank password. it will ask to 'use unsafe storage'
[00:05] <Dr_Willis_> :)
[00:05] <blud> ah sorry didnt see, i was walking back and forth to the linux box
[00:05] <konam> Dr_Willis_ there's nothing there..
[00:05] <Dr_Willis_> blud:  that icon has moved in 10.10 - compared to 10.04 i think.
[00:05] <Dr_Willis_> konam:  it may be the stuff is just getting deleted then.. not moved to trash.
[00:06] <solo_> Problem with Broadcom 4312 in Ubuntu 10.10
[00:06] <shigeo> samantha-, i like your attitude. i prefer LiLo myself on my other systems (gentoo and earlier slackware), but the ubuntu way is grub. LiLo does not have these problems per se, but the problem is not lilo, it's the ubuntu installer.
[00:06] <blud> Dr_Willis_: I am using mythbuntu, doesnt seem to be there..
[00:06] <Gadu> I've got a cam stream up and running on my website via webcam-server but I want to add sound. How can I achieve this?
[00:06] <Gadu> preferably in a way that won't cause them to be completely out of sync
[00:07] <Dr_Willis_> blud:   the binary name for the tool is 'seahorse' i think.
[00:07] <konam> Dr_Willis_ but... well, thanks
[00:07] <samantha-> shigeo, i first got a copy of slackware 1.something via an ftp-to-email gateway ... i had like 22 floppies uuencoded and emailed to me over a FidoNet gateway. my sysop was ... pissed.
[00:07] <konam> othe day i will ask again i guess
[00:07] <konam> thanks
[00:08] <Dr_Willis_> night all
[00:08] <solo_> I think it's time to go to sleep and wifi not working
[00:08] <samantha-> i'm surprised this bug wasn't caught. this seems like a pretty simple show-stopper case.
[00:08] <soreau> solo_: Soon enough, broadcom will be releasing open drivers so their hardware will justwork
[00:09] <soreau> until then, it's proprietary driver nightmare
[00:09] <blud> seahorse isn't even installed.. shoudl i install it?
[00:09] <blud> im using xfce (mythbuntu)
[00:09] <soreau> solo_: But you never said what wasn't working about it. If you can see your AP, you should be able to connect
[00:09] <epaphus> Hello, how can i remove a package including config files? with apt get
[00:10] <Gadu> I've tried using VLC to stream but watching it only tries to download an endless binary file rather than watching it
[00:10] <shigeo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/339724
[00:11] <gjm> epaphus: 'sudo apt-get purge'
[00:11] <solo_>  soreau: I get from wicd "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address" but signal from network is good
[00:11] <rautamiekka> I need to verify many files' CRC, so tried to §crc32 file.rar | grep - file.txt§ but it searches for the dash in the txt instead of the output of 'crc32'. Also tried replacing the dash with "{}" without output from grep, and reading grep's manpage was useless unless I missed something.
[00:12] <soreau> solo_: Is dhcp enabled? Is MAC Address Filtering on the AP?
[00:12] <gjm> epaphus: and in future read man pages
[00:12] <samantha-> shigeo, i should perhaps retry with ext3? i'm not married to ext4 by any stretch. this is a crappy almost-netbook.
[00:12] <soreau> solo_: The other problem may be having NetworkManager, nm-applet and wicd all running at the same time
[00:12] <shigeo> samantha-, i know. it probably has a lot to do with moving to grub2 or such. try the solution with the super grub disk and issuing "grub-install"
[00:13] <soreau> solo_: Instead you could try killing all processes then connecting with 'iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid> && dhclient wlan0'
[00:13] <samantha-> shigeo, i booted from the usb stick to a root prompt. grub-install /dev/sdb didn't resolve it.
[00:13] <chaozuper> i know it's unrelated but happy new year ubuntu users!
[00:14] <samantha-> i'll probably be cleaning a bathtub at midnight.
[00:14] <mdpatrick> I'm running AMD64 on a quadcore processor... how can I tell if a process is using more than 1 core? (i.e. it's utilizing the processor correctly)
[00:14] <em> is it possible for the computer to suspend without dropping the wifi?
[00:14] <Saladin> !quadcore
[00:14] <smw> em, they are mutually exclusive
[00:15] <shigeo> samantha-, nah i don't think it's a filesystem issue. i also don't think you can grub-instal from a usb-stick. because the usb stick has another environment and other parameters, so it won't install grub correctly. you should really try grub-install from your system. isn't there an option "boot from first hard disk" on the usb stick?
[00:15] <iNdO> yo
[00:15] <smw> mdpatrick, you can use htop
[00:15] <em> smw: then it should be possible for the laptop lid to close without suspending.
[00:15] <smw> mdpatrick, it gives cpu usage by cpu.
[00:16] <smw> em, it is, that is a power setting
[00:16] <samantha-> shigeo, when the installer writes the mbr to the usb stick, that is the same as "boot from the first hard disk." root is /dev/sdb1, and /sda1 is unused.
[00:16] <em> smw: and on the HP Pavilion dv6t every time you close the lid it either suspends or goes blank and you never get the display back.
[00:16] <em> smw: not on the HP Pavilion dv6t
[00:16] <smw> em, that is an overheating problem I think
[00:16] <em> I dont think so.
[00:16] <smw> em, for some reason the gpu never restarts...
[00:16] <em> It's some sort of power management or kernel bug.
[00:17] <em> yes the gpu never restarts
[00:17] <smw> em, I have no idea why. It is probably a driver/kernel bug
[00:17] <smw> em, I have the same problem
[00:17] <rautamiekka> How to pipe the output of "crc32" to grep or something which searches for the presence of the output in the given text file ?
[00:17] <em> in power management you only have four choices for what happens when the lid is shut: blank the screen, suspend, hibernate, or shut down.   If you choose any but the first it will lose wifi, if you choose the first it loses the display forever until you turn it off and back on.
[00:17] <em> smw ^
[00:17] <solo_> soreau: try
[00:17] <bluezone> anyone have experience with install nvidia drivers? the installation fails, in the log it says: ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.
[00:18] <mdpatrick> smw: If a process goes above 25% does that imply it's using more than 1 core?
[00:18] <blud> ok so, I have this keyring that keeps asking for a password every time I boot the computer, I want to edit it somehow so it doesn't ask me for a password, so it just saves it forever.
[00:18] <smw> mdpatrick, no
[00:18] <Josh_> Blue... Redraft in recovery and then install nvii
[00:18] <usr13> bluezone: As it says, you need to turn off the Xserver to install in the way you are going about it.
[00:19] <Josh_> Restart in recovery rather
[00:19] <romana> happy new year everyone ! ;)
[00:19] <bluezone> hmm
[00:19] <samantha-> romana, another regeneration?
[00:19] <bluezone> what if i just end the process, i don't trust installing things in recovery
[00:19] <romana> samantha huh?
[00:19] <samantha-> romana, if you don't get it now you never will :)
[00:19] <Josh_> You could use a console login
[00:19] <romana> samantha i know, right! :D
[00:20] <nawk> Is there a kernel option should I could specify during the loading of the LiveUSD (or LiveCD) that allows me to set the size of the tmpfs?
[00:20] <nawk> for the '/'
[00:20] <usr13> bluezone: First you will need to move off of the GUI to a terminal.  Ctrl-Alt-F6
[00:20] <shigeo> samantha-, did you try the option "boot from first hard disk"? i'll check another idea meanwhile...
[00:20] <iNdO> happy new years ya'll
[00:21] <usr13> bluezone: And then kill the Xserver  sudo pkill gdm
[00:21] <IAcceptEverythin> What is the name of the Aircraft Systems Engineering App in the ubuntu library?
[00:21] <R0b0t1> Hello. I have a device (pen tablet) which has "custom" thingymajigs on it. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/312633/ Is some sample output, The top is the #1 special button, the lower is a mouse move to near the top of my screen. (xev doesn't get events from these buttons). How can I set these up?
[00:21] <konam> Dr_Willis_ ok, had to come back, the files were convoluted in some .trash folders on my home folder. i just recovered about 5gbs after shift-delete them
[00:21] <konam> thanks
[00:21] <bluezone> usr13,  out or curiosity what exactly is an xserver, if is not too much to ask
[00:21] <samantha-> shigeo, i'm using the mini iso. there is no boot to first hard disk option, only rescue.
[00:22] <bastidrazor> usr13: that is a horrible way to stop gdm.. use sudo sevice gdm stop .. instead
[00:22] <Musigreg> Hello!
[00:22] <Musigreg> Happy new year everyone!
[00:22] <yayoj1> Happy New Year!!
[00:23] <solo_> soreau: with 'iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid> && dhclient wlan0' I get new interface -- wlan0:avahi inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[00:23] <yayoj1> Ubuntu is great right?
[00:23] <Musigreg> I guess so
[00:23] <Musigreg> I installed it today
[00:23] <R0b0t1> No, it's absolutely terrible.
[00:23] <Musigreg> it's my first run
[00:23] <R0b0t1> I wouldn't suggest using it -- it's bad for your health.
[00:23] <solo_> So I have wlan0 and wlan0:avahi ???
[00:23] <shigeo> samantha-, can you go into rescue? i don't know that option. maybe you can try it and see if it gives you some happy time. by the way: can you choose _not_ to install grub anywhere so that your stick doesn't get fried?
[00:23] <yayoj1> wow..well guess its time to switch to mac.
[00:23] <R0b0t1> Causes cancer (only in California) and stuff like that.
[00:24] <samantha-> shigeo, i'm trying a rescue install now. and i have the option of installing without a bootloader (or lilo, which i also haven't tried).
[00:24] <R0b0t1> Oh no! Mac is even worse. It causes cancer AND retardation.
[00:24] <Musigreg> I need a little help from you, is someone available?
[00:24] <mdpatrick> What's the easiest way to see if a process is appropriately utilizing amd64 architecture or not??? Htop is neat, but I'm not sure it's telling me what i'm looking for.
[00:24] <yayoj1> ha....ohhh....cancer huh?
[00:24] <bastidrazor> R0b0t1: and we see you've already been infected.
[00:25] <GeekSquid> !ask | Musigreg
[00:25] <yayoj1> who me, never
[00:25] <Musigreg> Ok, thank you
[00:25] <karma_police> anyone ever use gadmin-samba?
[00:25] <yayoj1> samba, somebody like's windows
[00:26] <yayoj1> whats the question?
[00:26] <samantha-> ooh, rescue mode has a "reinstall grub" feature where you can redo the boot loader with your choice of parameters. we'll see.  ah, that worked.
[00:26] <smw> !anyone | karma_police
[00:26] <karma_police> i'm trying to network my files on ubuntu so that windoze users can access them
[00:26] <mrdirtft> hello ladies
[00:27] <smw> mrdirtft, hello miss ;-)
[00:27] <Musigreg> Well, I have a problem with a file who is supposed to be an iso copy from one of my dvds, but i can't mount it. It says it's not a iso format something.
[00:27] <frxstrem> how can I make Google Chrome work in guest sessions?
[00:27] <samantha-> shigeo, ty for the pointer :) is there an equivalent to debian's tasksel, post-install? to save time on my umpteenth installation, i only installed the base system, now i need to install the rest
[00:27] <r00t4rd3d> karma_police, samba
[00:27] <smw> Musigreg, how are you trying to mount it?
[00:27] <smw> frxstrem, it should work
[00:27] <yayoj1> musigreg: sounds like you copied the file wrong to the disk.
[00:28] <GeekSquid> samantha-: sudo apt-get install tasksel ... ubuntu came from debian, therefore it does
[00:28] <karma_police> i'm trying to set my network up and cannot get it working.. i'm a noob.. here is my smb.conf file: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/549184/
[00:28] <shigeo> samantha-, yes! so everything works now?
[00:28] <Musigreg> yayoj1, I try to mount it with right click and then "mount", and the thing is, I can mount it on a windows machine
[00:28] <samantha-> shigeo, apparently. it booted to prompt and tasksel appears to be thinking about what i've asked it to do.
[00:29] <blud> k i solved my keyring issue.. just had to go edit the wireless connection, add the password there, and check the box "available to all users"
[00:29] <Musigreg> I tried burning it, but it's a dual layer dvd and i don't have a dual layer burner
[00:29] <frxstrem> smw: I just get an error saying something like "Failed to move to new PID namespace: Operation not permitted" or something like that
[00:29] <samantha-> there it goes. downloading 22 of 892.
[00:30] <smw> frxstrem, run it in a terminal, then pastebin all useful info.
[00:30] <smw> frxstrem, let me try it
[00:30] <Valkyrie> OKAY.
[00:30] <Valkyrie> So now I'm HERE.
[00:30] <karma_police> the files and folders i'm trying to share are on a usb hdd
[00:30] <MrUnagi> how can a user be chrooted via ssh but not via sftp
[00:30] <frxstrem> smw: I ran it in terminal, and told you the error message
[00:30] <shigeo> samantha-, good. thank $deity we didn't have to use LiLo (somehow i don't think ubuntu likes LiLo).
[00:30] <Valkyrie> How do I edit the Applications menu in gnome by hand.
[00:30] <Valkyrie> I'm meaning the actual FILE. I'm sick of gnome not adding applications. No I don't run Ubuntu, I was brought here by #gnome.
[00:31] <samantha-> shigeo, i thought make zlilo was the best feature they ever added to the kernel ... saved me so much trouble ...
[00:31] <yayoj1> musicgreg: if it's an iso format copy of software you have to make sure the file is saved to the disk in that format or the copied image is useless.  look for an iso mount application in the software center
[00:31] <smw> frxstrem, yeah, I just tested it. I have no idea. I am going to look it up
[00:32] <shigeo> samantha-, just for your info: my next try would have been to use "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda --recheck". or maybe use the usb live environment and then chroot into your installation.
[00:32] <Tigger__> MERRY NEW YEAR
[00:32] <Musigreg> yayoj1, I tried every mount applications I found, and they told me the same thing.
[00:32] <frxstrem> smw: umm...could it possibly be because I use the dev version?
[00:33] <smw> frxstrem, nope, I am reading some technical info about it.
[00:34] <mdpatrick> How do I check to see if the partitions I setup during my install are appropriately mounted at the correct mount points?
[00:34] <smw> frxstrem, frxstrem it is not something that you can fix probably
[00:34] <Musigreg> yayoj1, is there a way for me to know which iso format is it? Cos all I've read was that it wasn't one particular format. But nothing tells me what it is...
[00:34] <samantha-> mdpatrick, sudo mount
[00:35] <smw> frxstrem, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31077
[00:35] <Valkyrie> How do I edit the Gnome Applications menu by hand?
[00:35] <yayoj1> musicgreg: when you right click the application, go to scripts and then mount iso.
[00:35] <yayoj1> musicgreg: try that
[00:36] <vlt_> Hello. A Xen question: What is the most elegant way to automatically run a Xen domU after dom0 has finished booting?
[00:36] <play4> happy  new  years  eve   people
[00:36] <smw> frxstrem, you can use --no-sandbox
[00:36] <yayoj1> musicgreg: or what samantha wrote for terminal command.
[00:37] <shigeo> mcpatrick, if you just want to look at partitions, 'mount' without sudo should be enough.
[00:37] <mdpatrick> shigeo, samantha-: That did it. Thanks :)
[00:37] <Musigreg> Hum...
[00:38] <yayoj1> musicgreg:no luck
[00:38] <shigeo> samantha-, you wouldn't accidentally know how i can create some cool xorg.conf with my ubuntu?
[00:38] <Musigreg> Could it be that the folder which the iso is in is named with a blank?
[00:38] <samantha-> shigeo, nope. imo X is evil. long live the cli. :)
[00:38] <GeekSquid> vlt_: xen questions in  #xen please
[00:39] <solo_> tell me what USB is an external modem is better to buy that would not test with WiFi in Ubuntu.
[00:39] <yayoj1> musicgreg: named with a blank?  what do you mean?
[00:39] <Musigreg> in the path name
[00:39] <stealthc> hmmm just wondering if anybody here an envision remote execution as being better facilitated than with a modified version of vbox?
[00:39] <Musigreg> yayoj1,  there's a space in the name of the folder
[00:39] <stealthc> can envision not an...lol
[00:39] <yayoj1> musicgreg: so it's something like this"dflg.blank"
[00:40] <Musigreg> yayoj1,  sorry i'm not english, I try hard ^
[00:40] <rautamiekka> How to pipe the output of "crc32" to grep or something which searches for the presence of the output in the given text file ?
[00:40] <stealthc> I was thinking vbox was a good choice because it can keep execution isolated to a virtual machine
[00:40] <stealthc> and is open source
[00:40] <Musigreg> yayoj1, no it more something like media/doc 2/iso.iso
[00:40]  * Shaun hates the person that has a script set up to steal my nick whenever I go offline

[00:40] <domjohnson> Hi
[00:40] <Silicium> hi tehre
[00:41] <GeekSquid> rautamiekka: cat /path/to/crc32 | grep searchword
[00:41] <Silicium> is it normal that encryptFS is so slow on read/file access?
[00:41] <Silicium> the seektimes are very crap
[00:41] <Musigreg> yayoj1, what do you call the space between two words?
[00:41] <Procik> ðóññêèå  åñòü?
[00:41] <rautamiekka> GeekSquid: "crc32" is a Perl script, mind you, which checks the file's CRC and displays it.
[00:41] <IAcceptEverythin> whoa. ubuntu is cool. howard stern is my idol now i guess. thanks for your help. ttyl
[00:42] <GeekSquid> rautamiekka: perl crc32 | grep search
[00:42] <boraklavun> happy new year
[00:42] <boraklavun>  I was late sorry about that
[00:43] <yayoj1> musicgreg: misc.
[00:43] <GeekSquid> boraklavun: you are early, i am in California
[00:43] <yayoj1> musicgreg: drag the file to the desktop, then try the right click to script then mount
[00:44] <alfred> what is the best way nto encrypt the laptop?
[00:44] <shigeo> alfred, use ubuntu alternate installer.
[00:44] <skullboy> alfred, did u try truecrypt
[00:45] <lwizardl> ok i'm starting to think this laptop just wasn't designed for linux to be used on it everything isn't working without lots of modding
[00:45] <alfred> shigeo, I will try truecrypt
[00:45] <stealthc> truecrypt with aes 256
[00:45] <lwizardl> in 10.10 how do I get my headphone jack to work when i plug them in
[00:45] <lwizardl> right now my audio only works from the internal speakers
[00:45] <Musigreg> yayoj1, copying
[00:46] <frxstrem> how can I find out what device file(s) represents audio in/out?
[00:46] <alfred> skullboy, is it the same as Easy Crypt ?
[00:46] <Musigreg> yayoj1, ok I mounted it, and a new icon appeared with the name of the iso
[00:46] <jimmyzasdf> can i turn off the feature which asks for my password whenever i change a system setting?
[00:46] <samantha-> i *lublublub* my SSDs.
[00:46] <Musigreg> yayoj1, and when i open it, there's no file inside
[00:47] <skullboy> alfred, no it is way more scure
[00:47] <alfred> skullboy, I will install it,
[00:47] <skullboy> alfred, secure**
[00:47] <alfred> skullboy,  I hope I do not mess things
[00:47] <rautamiekka> GeekSquid: It's run by simply saying "crc32". Syntax=§crc32 <file.ext>§. Tried §crc32 file.rar | grep sums.txt§, no output as if the sum wasn't in the file when it really is in there.

[00:47] <yayoj1> musicgreg: yea the file was copied wrong.  you gotta re-download the file from where ever you got it.
[00:48] <skullboy> alfred, just use a .deb if u dont wanna mess up
[00:48] <alfred> skullboy, will it ask for the passkey when I restart the computer or it will when I log in ?
[00:48] <Musigreg> yayoj1, well I got the from burning a dvd which i don't have anymore...
[00:48] <alfred> skullboy, as newbie I used the ubuntu software center

[00:56] <alfred> no
[00:56] <superkuh> I am using 8.04. When I drag windows with the mouse in Gnome a transparent grid is shown moving instead of the window. How do I enable full window drag/movement animation?
[00:56] <bastidrazor> hipitihop: /var/log/daemon.log shows when things you might find interesting and also /var/log/syslog

[01:03] <usr13> alfred: ./<file-name-here>

[01:03] <alfred> done
[01:03] <SPooN> so, #ubuntu, I was hoping someone could shed some light on what KDE is/means, and what gnome is/means compated to that. anyone want to contrib?
[01:04] <usr13> SPooN: They are window managers
[01:04] <pulgoki> Question, my girlfriend has a linksys wrt54g2 router.. she connects everything to it using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button... Can Ubuntu be made to connect to the router using by using the button as well?
[01:04] <SPooN> so if I"m using ubuntu, then I'm on gnome, which means kde applications will not work, correct? usr13
[01:04] <xim_> they handle putting the boarders around your programs so you can drag them around, and multitask between them, they usually work with each other these days
[01:05] <SPooN> heelo Adam__  and solifex
[01:05] <usr13> SPooN: You can run KDE apps, you just have to install some KDE libraries
[01:05] <Raydiation> do i absolutely need 4.6gb free discspace?
[01:05] <SPooN> usr13, ok then. thank you
[01:05] <GeekSquid> SPooN: K desktop environment is just a different look that uses a different toolkit ... and no, you can run kde apps in gnome and viseversa
[01:05] <Raydiation> i thought of installing it on a 4gb usb
[01:05] <xim_> i use gnome and ktorrent, and play tetris in kblocks
[01:05] <SPooN> what are you installing that needs 4.6gb Raydiation
[01:05] <Raydiation> SPooN: ubuntu ofc
[01:06] <coz_> Raydiation,   its going to be far slower running from usb than from a hard drive
[01:06] <yayoj1> sPoon:just enable kde in ccsm
[01:06] <Raydiation> coz_: i dont have a hd
[01:06] <SPooN> Raydiation, what coz_  said
[01:06] <coz_> Raydiation,  ah ok   nevermind then :)
[01:06] <Raydiation> im just gonna use it as inet pc
[01:06] <Guest43508> hi, I've just installed Xubuntu 10.10 and it only detects one of my two displays on GeForce 6200
[01:06] <coz_> Raydiation,  then by all means run it from  usb
[01:06] <usr13> SPooN: If you try to install a KDE application, (via the package manager), the dependencies will automatically be installed, so it's no problem
[01:06] <Raydiation> iirc it needs way less than 4gb
[01:07] <coz_> of course with usb3   this will change things
[01:07] <SPooN> ok thanks user13
[01:07] <alfred> thanks guys I installed now I will reboot and try it out, I hope I can login :)
[01:07] <SPooN> good luck alfred
[01:07] <usr13> alfred: Time to celebrate :)
[01:08] <Senix> so i've installed Ubuntu onto my laptop, I wanted the notebook remix (thats what i installed) but it installed the desktop edition for some reason...is there a way to change this setting without reinstalling?
[01:08] <alfred> already done 3 hours ago :D
[01:08] <Guest43508> Xubuntu comes with novueau driver yes?
[01:08] <usr13> Senix: I would stick with what you have.
[01:08] <xim_> ahh the joys of beginning using linux, "i spent 2 hours to get truecrypt installed, now i hope i can still log in" ;P
[01:08] <sagaci> Senix: what .iso image did you install from
[01:09] <Senix> sagaci, this image here http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[01:09] <usr13> Senix: Senix you can customize it to  your likeing (on your own) which is not much more than optomizing things for the small screen.
[01:10] <coz_> Guest43010,  it should
[01:10] <Senix> usr13, look i want to try the netbook edition on my NETBOOK
[01:10] <coz_> Guest43010,  that doesnt mean you will have 3d acceleration with it however
[01:10] <Saladin> i got told that desktop would be better for netbook unless u have touch screen
[01:10] <SPooN> !mint
[01:10] <usr13> Senix: Then re-install with remix
[01:11] <coz_> Senix,   you might fair better with  the upcoming natty  11.04...even though in alpha  it no longer uses mutter  but compiz instead
[01:11] <Rena-> well the wiki says it supports 3D and multihead on my card, but I only see one display in settings
[01:11] <sagaci> Saladin: and that would generally be correct
[01:11] <coz_> Senix,  although...as I mentioned, it is still alpha
[01:11] <SPooN> coz_, are there any pointers as to when natty will come out stable?
[01:11] <zebastianortis> http://freedomainradio.com/BOARD/forums/p/28810/221573.aspx#221573
[01:11] <Senix> coz_, thank you for the recommendation
[01:12] <coz_> SPooN,   yep  on   2011  april  thus  the numbers  11.04
[01:12] <coz_> :)
[01:12] <SPooN> if it comes out on my birthday I will... well.... yea. april 7th
[01:12] <coz_> Senix,  you can either download the alpha cd or the daily build which is slightly larger than a cd  I blieve
[01:12] <FishFace> xim_: Don't know if this helps, but my dual screen looks like this - http://www.picpaste.com/pics/1Selection_005-GjY5rHsd.1293844293.jpeg
[01:12] <sagaci> SPooN: doubt it, usually late april
[01:12] <coz_> SPooN,   yep by the end of april
[01:12] <Senix> coz_, may i get a URL for it?
[01:13] <SPooN> ubuntu.com
[01:13] <coz_> Senix,  sure which one the alpha cd or the daily?
[01:13] <sagaci> cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/
[01:13] <Senix> coz_, daily build would be nice
[01:13] <coz_> Senix,      http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/
[01:13] <SPooN> Senix, see what sagaci said
[01:13] <Senix> ty coz_
[01:13] <coz_> Senix,  it is a dvd however
[01:13] <Senix> coz_, i have dvds do not worry
[01:14] <SPooN> ubuntu netbook 10.10 is the same thing or not as Unity?
[01:14] <coz_> Senix,   download that iso ...checl the md5sums also listed on that page with your download and if possible  , please burn it at 1x
[01:14] <Saladin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683  <-- i asked b4 but would like to know if this works for most recent version ? 10.10?
[01:14] <sagaci> Senix: does your netbook have a dvd drive
[01:15] <Senix> sagaci, ever hear of booting from usb? its quite nice
[01:15] <bweb> hey, what's wrong if I enter 'ß' and I get no 'ß' on the server side (ssh access)?
[01:15] <coz_> sagaci,   good question
[01:15] <FalseLobster> Alright, so this is gonna sound crazy, but is there a way to install ubuntu from ubuntu ?
[01:15] <SPooN> Saladin, you might find that most of what is there is included in 10.10
[01:15] <sagaci> Senix: I know USB's quite well
[01:15] <coz_> Senix,   mm  I havent tried this from usb  but good luck with it... which video do have on that netbook?
[01:15] <Saladin> spoon just wondering as i used version 8.04 so out of loop
[01:15] <SPooN> Saladin, otherwise most of it should work, unless the software itself has disappeared
[01:15] <Senix> coz_, lemme check
[01:15] <sagaci> !unetbootin
[01:15] <SPooN> Saladin, yup.
[01:15] <coz_> Senix,  also .let me emphasize...this is alpha... expect  some bugs
[01:16] <xim_> FishFace, how do you get to that monitor preferences window?  I'm in the nvidia x server settings (in karmic)
[01:16] <Saladin> spoon should i try to put in those command lines and if i do will it hurt my install?
[01:16] <Senix> coz_, yes i expected bugs, I have been using Ubuntu since its 8.04 days
[01:16] <coz_> Senix,  and the best channel for natty  is  #ubuntu+1
[01:16] <SPooN> Saladin, have you installed 10.10 already?
[01:16] <sagaci> Senix: you might not get the unity interface anyway, depending on the video card
[01:16] <FalseLobster> I have a wubi install of ubuntu and I wanna do a full install on my usb drive.
[01:16] <Senix> coz_, my video would be "Intel Corporation 82801G"
[01:16] <FishFace> xim_: System, Preferences, Monitors
[01:16] <SPooN> my video card doesn't work with unity :(
[01:16] <xangua> !usb | FalseLobster
[01:16] <coz_> Senix,    that should work
[01:17] <Saladin> spoon not getting rdy as the machine i am on is getting it and also i am at work;)
[01:17] <coz_> SPooN,  which video card is it?
[01:17] <Senix> coz_, if only my wifi card was intel
[01:17] <SPooN> an ugly intel integrated one
[01:17] <coz_> SPooN,  although this should be talked about in #ubuntu+1  not here :)
[01:17] <xim_> fishface, they must not have that in karmic
[01:17] <Senix> coz_, its broadcom T~T
[01:17] <SPooN> coz_, didn't know that existed :P
[01:17] <coz_> Senix,   that one I dont know for sure....cant hurt to test out the live dvd though
[01:18] <FalseLobster> xangua: I've been at this for a while.  I have a very atypical set up I'm trying to create.  Trust me, I've done my research...
[01:18] <Rave1> FalseLobster, >>http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html
[01:18] <Senix> coz_, will try
[01:18] <SPooN> unless, of course, you don't have a dvd
[01:18] <coz_> SPooN,   #ubuntu+1  is the channel for  versions in the works
[01:18] <SPooN> haha thats a smart name
[01:18] <domjohnson> How do I set a symlink to be able to be accessed and executed by all users (i.e, in the 'other' section)?
[01:18] <FishFace> xim_: Yeah, I was on 10.04 and upped to 11.04 and this is how I have always seen it
[01:18] <xim_> ok thanks
[01:19] <FishFace> Yep...good luck on that.
[01:19] <SPooN> I wish my computer had more usb ports
[01:19] <SPooN> ./random
[01:20] <domjohnson> lol SPooN - I'm sure everyone does
[01:20] <SPooN> domjohnson, too true
[01:20] <SPooN> !unetbootin SPooN
[01:21] <SPooN> !unetbootin
[01:22] <SPooN> forgive the newbie question, but where is startup disk creator in the menus?
[01:22] <FalseLobster> GParted can create an NTFS partition, correct?
[01:22] <SPooN> yes FalseLobster
[01:23] <alfred> I am back, the ecrypt was not what I am looking for
[01:23] <FalseLobster> SPooN: System > Administration
[01:23] <FalseLobster> SPooN: if you need any help with setting up a live usb, I should a pro at this by the time I'm done with mine.
[01:23] <TyrantElf> Yeah guys, I need some help with a dual monitor setup
[01:24] <FalseLobster> I've certainly spend > 6 hours working on this.
[01:24] <alfred> I need encrytion from the moment I start my laptop.
[01:24] <SPooN> FalseLobster, I don't use live usb's I prefer to partition my harddrive, as its faster
[01:24] <alfred> where it ask me to input the passkey in order to continue the boot
[01:24] <nit-wit> alfred, truecrypt
[01:24] <SPooN> alfred, what are you doing O.o
[01:25] <alfred> SPooN, trying to install crypt to my HDD
[01:25] <alfred> nit-wit, I installed it
[01:25] <alfred> nit-wit, but why I do not get the screen when I start my computer to input the passkey ?
[01:25] <FalseLobster> SPooN: I just saw you lookin' at unetbootin stuff, so I figured I'd offer to help if you needed it... I agree with the speed, but I really don't know what else I'd do with such a massive flash drive.
[01:25] <SPooN> alfred, that was an attempted joke wondering what you were/are doing that requires encryption :P
[01:25] <SPooN> FalseLobster, true that, thanks for the offer :D
[01:26] <alfred> SPooN,  :D
[01:26] <alfred> SPooN, if you attend "Legal Aspect" class, you will run and encrypt your computer
[01:26] <SPooN> alfred, ok then haha
[01:26] <SPooN> should I use a cd or dvd .iso to make a USB startup?
[01:27] <alfred> SPooN, we had class about the cyber security law etc... and you have no idea what ever in your computer can take you few years in jail :D
[01:27] <alfred> even if you install some back track, that might take you to jail
[01:27] <alfred> SPooN, because it is considered as hacking or attack tool :D
[01:27] <SPooN> alfred, encryption can be cracked
[01:27] <alfred> that they didn t tell me :D
[01:28] <nit-wit> alfred, I haven't used it for whole OS just HD individually with data
[01:28] <SPooN> haha
[01:28] <Rena-> eh, I use disk encryption because there's little reason not to. :-p
[01:28] <alfred> :D
[01:28] <nit-wit> alfred, there is a manual I downloaded it.
[01:28] <rautamiekka> SPooN, alfred: "As long as human makes something, a human will breach it", said by my dad.
[01:28] <Raydiation> hm doesnt the fglrx driver offer h264 support?
[01:28] <SPooN> smart father
[01:28] <SPooN> rautamiekka,
[01:28] <alfred> rautamiekka, respect to your father, sure he is right
[01:29] <rautamiekka> SPooN, alfred: Yeah, figured he was correct in that.
[01:29] <alfred> rautamiekka, totta kai ;)
[01:30] <alfred> I do not know how I had the windows pop up when I restart my computer asking passkey to boot
[01:30] <alfred> now I can t get it back
[01:31] <asdas> mkdir is for making directory... how i can make file??? mkfile not work..
[01:31] <xim_> i put my new dual head vid card (nv gts 450) in my pcie slot (karmic) and blew away all my old nvidia drivers etc, then i added the ppa and installed nvidia-glx-256 and nvidia-settings.  when i first ran nvidia-settings it showed 2 screens in the layout, one on the right disabled, i enabled it to twinview and it just mirrored them, and then i switched to seperate x windows and rebooted and it still mirrors them. and now in the layout
[01:31] <xim_>  it doesnt show them both in the same layout it just switches between them in the layout from the drop down box
[01:31] <pulgoki> Question, my girlfriend has a linksys wrt54g2 router.. she connects everything to it using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button... Can Ubuntu be made to connect to the router automatically using by using the button as well?
[01:32] <Spaztic_One> I've got a game that I play that resets my resolution down to 800x600 when I exit. what is a command in term to let me resize my resolution without having to go to the monitor control?
[01:32] <xim_> i cant extend the desktop to the other one
[01:36] <rautamiekka> asdas: I believe you mean to make an empty text file. The "nano" is a text-mode text editor I use for anything done text-wise in text-mode. "nano FILENAME.EXTENSION" where 'FILENAME' is the file's name and 'EXTENSION' the extension of the file, like "py" for a Python script.
[01:37] <rewt> asdas, you can use touch to create a 0-byte file
[01:37] <rautamiekka> Ah, I've forgot about "touch"
[01:37] <asdas> rewt: how i can use that?
[01:37] <rewt> touch filename
[01:37] <imran_> hello everyone, I'm using Puppy linux which I know isn't Ubuntu but it's similar and no one on the puppy chat can help me - so please, at least try to help me?   I'm attempting to install a "Tenda W311U" adapter onto my Puppy linux, it's a USB WIFI b/g/n adapter....
[01:38] <asdas> rewt: how i can change a file name ?
[01:38] <SPooN> so, no harm/foul/offense intended, I'm just curious. But are all Ubuntu users Mint haters?
[01:38] <rewt> mv
[01:38] <imran_> the adapter won't accept any of the drivers im trying
[01:38] <rewt> SPooN, i like mints, but not too fond of mint chocolate
[01:38] <imran_> What to do next?
[01:38] <xangua> imran_: try a puppy channel please
[01:38] <geeknik> to whomever mentioned qbittorrent in here earlier today, thanks.. just started using it in place of utorrent.. =)
[01:38] <asdas> how i can change a file name ?
[01:38] <rewt> asdas: mv
[01:39] <rautamiekka> asdas: It would sound like you don't even know the basics of Linux.
[01:39] <asdas> mv file.txt filesss.txt ?
[01:39] <imran_> xangua: i did but people there said they knew nothing about networking... I was hoping since from what I hear and from what I've use puppy and ubuntu are somewhat similar, maybe you gyus could help...
[01:39] <rewt> yes, and with most commands you can use --help to see usage instructions
[01:39] <rewt> eg:  mv --help
[01:39] <asdas> rautamiekka: exactly i dont know anything thats why im asking help.
[01:39] <xangua> imran_: then try a networking channel¿
[01:40] <porkchop_> asdas: right click file in nautilus and rename
[01:40] <rewt> hah
[01:41] <asdas> the command??   "mv file.txt  renamed.txt" ???
[01:41] <rewt> mv --help
[01:41] <rewt> read that
[01:41] <asdas> im just asking
[01:41] <asdas> could u give answer on what i ask if you could i will appriciate it
[01:41] <asdas> dont give me --help etc etc
[01:41] <rewt> it answers your questions
[01:42] <asdas> [03:41:14] <asdas> the command??   "mv file.txt  renamed.txt" ???
[01:42] <asdas> a yes or not or a sample could help more..
[01:42] <rewt> yes, if you type "mv --help" it will answer that question
[01:42] <asdas> omfg
[01:42] <iNdO> anyonw know if its possible to play world of warcraft on ubuntu ?
[01:42] <asdas> could u answer or not
[01:42] <asdas> [03:41:14] <asdas> the command??   "mv file.txt  renamed.txt" ???
[01:43] <rewt> why are you so afraid of reading the help?
[01:43] <coz_> iNdO,  it is  but I havent done it
[01:43] <asdas> rewt: wtf?
[01:43] <asdas> answer.
[01:43] <p_res> Just do "man mv" for more in-depth info.
[01:43] <asdas> or dont speak.
[01:43] <xangua> !wine
[01:43] <xangua> iNdO with wine, check !appdb to see status
[01:43] <dnivra> iNdO, hope this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft.
[01:43] <porkchop_> asdas: mv oldname newname
[01:43] <Photocopy> is there anyway to reset my ip address?
[01:43] <rautamiekka> asdas: You're not asking, you're repeating. That's why in IRC we always say your username as the first thing in a reply to catch your attention.
[01:43] <Photocopy> anything like that
[01:43] <rewt> asdas, you gotta learn how to help yourself.  you can't rely on others for everything you'll do.
[01:43] <asdas> porkchop_: thanks a milion..
[01:43]  * rautamiekka is now going for sleep.
[01:44] <asdas> rewt: <censored> that was a answser
[01:44] <bweb> echo $LC_ALL -> no output, is that right?
[01:44] <asdas> no read that read this
[01:44] <asdas> read bible
[01:44] <asdas> noob
[01:44] <FloodBot1> asdas: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:44] <rewt> asdas, it's not a bible, it's only a few lines
[01:44] <dnivra> bweb, yeah; the output would be redirected.

[01:44] <rewt> o.O
[01:44] <bweb> dnivra: how can I get the info which locale is currently set?
[01:45] <asdas> Im asking on how to rename, im new in linux so that dont show me anything
[01:45] <rewt> you didn't even try it
[01:45] <asdas> it will be more easy if you just answer on what i asked and not giving third parties answers.
[01:45] <Photocopy> -.- Does anybody know if there's a way in my router or computer to reset my IP address? Additionally, is there a way I can tell if I have a dynamic IP?
[01:45] <ggreene> need to access ip address through iptables via vncviewer can't seem to get it to work
[01:45] <dnivra> bweb, if $LC_ALL is the variable, just try 'echo $LC_ALL'. I'm not sure about how to get that info. i'll check.
[01:45] <rewt> FIRST line says:  "Usage: mv [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST", and a couple lines later says "Rename SOURCE to DEST"
[01:46] <rewt> it's not a third party's answer
[01:46] <rewt> it's the answer from the actual command itself
[01:46] <rww> !ot | Photocopy
[01:46] <dnivra> bweb, i'm not quite sure what you're looking for but the answer might be here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables.
[01:47] <geeknik> rewt: and yet he calls you the noob. i needed a good laugh..
[01:47] <Photocopy> rww: if you know whether that's off topic or not, you know the answer
[01:47] <Fish-Face> Hi, I've recorded some video with Cheese, but it's too big. I would like to transcode it with ffmpeg, but there is an error whenever I try to do anything with ffmpeg to that file, or any video file that cheese produces
[01:47] <rewt> he did? i missed it :(
[01:47] <swazzy> hello

[01:47] <paq7512> what is a good cloud backup for 10.10?
[01:47] <geeknik> rewt: it's all good. i'm sure the next person will appreciate your help. =)
[01:48] <rewt> heh
[01:48] <mdpatrick> Or is there a nice curation of useful apps somewhere? tried going through the full list, but theres a lot of noise :)
[01:48] <rww> Photocopy: Your IP address is a function of your router and/or modem. It has nothing to do with Ubuntu.
[01:48] <Fish-Face> The error I get is "[ogg @ 0x98812c0]Could not find codec parameters (Video: theora, 320x240)" and then later, "swScaler: Unknown format is not supported as input pixel format", which I can't find anything for on Google

[01:48] <geeknik> paq7512: Ubuntu One is a good place to start.
[01:48] <rewt> "give a man a fish ..."
[01:48] <Fish-Face> Should ffmpeg be able to transcode the output of Cheese?
[01:48] <Photocopy> rww: no need to be patronizing. #ubuntu-offtopic is where I should ask, then?
[01:49] <ggreene> need help configuring iptables
[01:49] <AbstractBeliefs> good evening (and a happy new year) all. whats the best way of getting mac80211 (and later ath5k) onto jeos?
[01:49] <AnggaDj98> mdpatrick: try #ubuntu-bots, usually BestBot and ubottu is there to answer your questions and supports about applications
[01:49] <Photocopy> rww: additionally, it says in the topic for that channel that it is not a support channel. I've asked for help there but I'm expecting to be redirected back here.
[01:50] <swazzy> does any one know how to install themes

[01:51] <coz_> swazzy,   yes  or  open system/preferences/appearance  and click the "Install"  button and locate the tar.gz file you download
[01:51] <dnivra> bweb, great!
[01:51] <bweb> dnivra: thx!
[01:51] <dnivra> bweb, no problem :)

[01:52] <swazzy> ok thanks
[01:52] <bweb> Steve973: interesting, epxplain it, pls
[01:52] <porkchop_> @Steve973 haha I thought i was the only one
[01:52] <Steve973> bewb = boob = fun.

[01:52] <jkoch> Anyone know how to fix the video lag with intel intergrated graphics on 10.10?
[01:54] <porkchop_> jkoch not sure what lag youre talking about. I have integrated intel, but no lag that i notice
[01:55] <jkoch> porkchop_:  laptop or desktop
[01:55] <porkchop_> Jkock: lap

[01:57] <jkoch> porkchop_: what driver are you running
[01:57] <AbstractBeliefs> porkchop_ haha, doing an ubuntu install on a satellite *right now*
[01:58] <dnivra> mdpatrick, AnggaDj98 i think that package submits reports to ubuntu. is that what you're looking for?
 Is there a way to sort aptitude/apt-get packages by *popularity* and view the,?
[01:58] <porkchop_> Jkoch...the standard open source driver prepackaged with ubuntu
[01:59] <dnivra> !info popularity-contest | AnggaDj98 mdpatrick

[01:59] <dnivra> !info popularity-contest | mdpatrick
[01:59] <dnivra> AnggaDj98, mdpatrick not quite the same is it?
[01:59] <paq7512> how can you play wmv instead your browser?
[02:00] <AnggaDj98> paq7512: use vlc media player, wmv encoding is installed by default
[02:00] <abarahc> oh god
[02:01] <porkchop_> jkoch...where do i find that info
[02:01] <AbstractBeliefs> good evening all. whats the best way of getting mac80211 (and later ath5k) onto jeos?

[02:02] <kwtm> Hi! Need advice on how to fix wireless on my dad's Ubuntu laptop within the next hour. Right now, "ifconfig" doesn't list "wlan0". If I do "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up", it says SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[02:03] <dnivra> !brazil | abarahc
[02:03] <dnivra> AnggaDj98, no problem :).
[02:03] <kwtm> What should be my next step in locating the problem?  Am reading about 5 Ubuntu forums pages simultaneously. :P
[02:04] <xim_> i am trying to use my nvidia gts 450 to do dual monitors.  I am using nvidia-settings, and i can only get it to mirror the desktops instead of extending into the second space?
[02:05] <Linux_Galore> kwtm: do you actually have wifi turned on would be the first question, many laptops have an on/off button of keypad shortcut
[02:06] <administrator_> hehhe
[02:06] <administrator_> 啥子东西哦
[02:07] <kwtm> Linux_Galore, Good question.  Will check.  Forgot to check hardware...
[02:07]  * Linux_Galore spent 40 min diagnosing a wifi problem once only to find there was a switch to turn it on
[02:07] <xim_> Linux_Galore, was that on a laptop? i did that exact thing once.  an Hp
[02:07] <kwtm> Linux_Galore, but it works in Vista when dual-booted, so doubtful.  Currently am reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide/Devices to see if device is recognized (while trying to take care of 2yo toddler...)
[02:08] <r00t4rd3d> kwtm, we need to know the chipset of the wireless device. In a terminal type in lspci and look for some thing like Broadcom 43xx
[02:08] <drx> do Google phones run Linux
[02:08] <r00t4rd3d> it will be towards the end
[02:08] <drx> ?
[02:08] <Rena-> ehh... yes and no
[02:08] <Linux_Galore> kwtm: next step is  goto www.google.com/linux then search   linux ubuntu "wifi chipset"
[02:09] <r00t4rd3d> drx ye
[02:09] <Rena-> Android is based on Linux but it doesn't really resemble it at all.
[02:09] <Rena-> to be honest I don't know what they've done do it. it crashes randomly and has all sorts of other issues Linux normally does not.
[02:09] <Linux_Galore> kwtm: actually dont need the word linux in the search term
[02:09] <drx> what is the best case material to protect an Android phone:  plastic, silicon, rubber, carbon fiber or leather?
[02:10] <jkoch> porkchop_: thats what i'm using. i don't know why i'm having problems
[02:10] <r00t4rd3d> kwtm, follow what i told ya and i will help you without googling
[02:10] <dnivra> !ot | drx
[02:11] <r00t4rd3d> Linux_Galore, we are here to help not send people off to google with some random "wifi chipset" searches.
[02:11] <Linux_Galore> kwtm: sometimes  searching for your laptop model helps, I often find walk through howto's for set laptops with many hacks
[02:11] <dnivra> !google | Linux_Galore
[02:12] <Linux_Galore> dnivra: ubuntu documentation doesnt always define specific laptop models hacks
[02:13] <ggreene> help with iptables
[02:13] <r00t4rd3d> lspci in a terminal will tell me what he has faster then google
[02:13] <dnivra> Linux_Galore, true but neither does google search :). giving specific links and then asking them to search in google would definitely help since the other person may not know what to be looking for :).
[02:13] <r00t4rd3d> aka the chipset
[02:14] <Linux_Galore> dnivra: example the laptop I am on msi x320 little if any documentation on the official site, in fact I found a blog in google with a complete ubuntu install walk including driver build details
[02:14] <kwtm> Linux_Galore, thanks for advice. Currently it seems that the BCM4312 driver is not yet installed. When I try System > Administration > Hardware Drivers to install the Broadcom wireless STA driver, an error msg pops up: " SystemError: installArchives() failed"
[02:14] <coz_> I think its always a good idea to have the specs for you system  ..desktop or laptop  ...at hand when coming here as well..especially if new to the whole irc thingy
[02:14] <dnivra> !iptables | ggreene
[02:14] <r00t4rd3d> kwtm, follow this guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[02:14] <r00t4rd3d> if you have the BCM43xx wifi chipset
[02:15] <kwtm> r00t4rd3d, Thank you, will try.
[02:15] <dnivra> Linux_Galore, true but you know what you're looking for, other person need not :). just my opinion.
[02:15] <cdavis> Can someone help me with what I think is a grub problem? I install xbcm live (10.04) fine but it will not boot from the disk. No error just cursor then black screen
[02:15] <cdavis> sometimes I get scroll lock and caps lock flashing
[02:15] <r00t4rd3d> kwtm , i have all the packages and instructions for that wireless card if you would like them.
[02:16] <gucko> hello people

[02:16] <gucko> I'm just trying new features :D
[02:16] <rodyeo> U mean the programme of a external hardrive?
[02:17] <rodyeo> like that back up programme?
[02:17] <jkoch> just an external hardrive to store some files on?
[02:17] <r00t4rd3d> kwtm, PM
[02:17] <dnivra> jkoch, plug it in; should be detected automatically.
[02:17] <rodyeo> It should be able to connect once u plug it in
[02:17] <porkchop_> plug it in and mount it?
[02:17] <jkoch> i plugged it in and i don't see it anything
[02:17] <rodyeo> hmm
[02:18] <rodyeo> If u haven't touch anything to stop ur usb ports or anything
[02:18] <cdavis> my drive used to be part of a software raid, could that be causing problms?
[02:18] <rodyeo> u should be able to open it
[02:18] <sn0w> Hiwh

[02:47] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[02:47] <econ> ok thanks
[02:47] <r00t4rd3d> sudo nano /etc/apt/etc
[02:47] <r00t4rd3d> but you know there is an easier way to add repo's ?
[02:48] <CarlFK> r00t4rd3d: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ '$(lsb_release -cs)' free non-free'
[02:48] <blud> r00t4rd3d that thread seems to be talking about a lot more than I want to do... do I really need to set up netbios and WINS just to share a folder?
[02:48] <CarlFK> er, I guess econ should see that: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ '$(lsb_release -cs)' free non-free'
[02:49] <stealthc> you could use ftp.... you don't need netbios and wins
[02:49] <blud> well if i want to set it up so that a windows computer can see the share I do need to do this netbios wins stuff?
[02:49] <stealthc> setup an ftp server, problem solved, it's less hassle than setting up a share and mounting it.
[02:49] <stealthc> no windows computers can see ftp just fine right from the browser window
[02:50] <blud> stealthc: but ftp is not a good solution because i'm dealing with large files and it would use my internet connection right?
[02:50] <blud> or would i just connect to a local address...
[02:50] <stealthc> not necessarily, you can setup ftp on your local network and it wouldn't require using an internet connection
[02:51] <stealthc> your router likely has dns and other services on it that allow you to setup local stuff easy enough....
[02:52] <CT1> Happy new year to all!  Is there some simple to understand guide for the command line alternative to alt+tab? ("fg" came up in search) I'm playing with a server which I have physical access to but prefer to ssh into for practice, rather than install gnome.  Make sense?
[02:52] <stealthc> the typical setup as a router using NAT and you have local address space, so you can connect to ftp via direct connection to the server's ip address, no need to go off your network
[02:53] <stealthc> just define a static ip for the server using it's mac address, problem solved works fine with ftp.  it's also easy to integrate into software if need be, ftp is pretty easy to do using a variety of library modules out tere
[02:53] <stealthc> there meant
[02:53] <r00t4rd3d> i never use samba or ftp. I use ssh and winscp :D
[02:54] <trism> !screen | CT1
[02:54] <blud> i'd rather use samba, because then i dont have to install FTP clients on my various windows machines
[02:55] <stealthc> lol windows comes with an ftp client, it's called explorer
[02:55] <blud> mainly just because i dont want to use ftp for the sole reason that i 'couldnt figure out" how to do shared folders :p
[02:55] <blud> yeah but its a crappy ftp client
[02:55] <blud> at this point is a matter of principle, i need to figure out how to set up a network share
[02:56] <blud> r00t4rd3d is is a good idea to try to use this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605  post from like 2006
[02:56] <CT1> trism: Thankyou! Looks alot easier than 'jobs' 'fg' and such-like.  All the best for the new year!
[02:56] <epaphus> Hello. how can i find out the version of ubuntu i have?
[02:57] <r00t4rd3d> uname -a in a terminal
[02:57] <dnivra> epaphus, lsb_release -r in the terminal.
[02:57] <dnivra> epaphus, or system -> about ubuntu.
[02:58] <r00t4rd3d> blud,  if you look at the last page from November 2010 >Brilliant walkthrough - thanks!
[03:02] <dnivra> epaphus, okay maybe stick to "lsb_release -rd". I think System -> About Ubuntu says 11.04 in 10.10. It does in my machine anyway.
[03:03] <fishscene> How do I set my Empathy settings so that offline people DO NOT show up on my list of contacts?
[03:04] <n1ea> Hello is there anyone here who would allow me to attempt to chat with them so I could see if I have DCC Chat working in xchat?
[03:04] <Dola> hahah
[03:04] <rww> n1ea: sure
[03:05] <xangua> fishscene: buddies>show¿¿ or at least that is on pidgin
[03:05] <fishscene> Yea, Pidgin can hide it, but I can't seem to find the option on Empathy
[03:05] <rww> n1ea: it says it can't connect
[03:05] <fishscene> I really hate scrolling through 200 contacts to find the one buried 2/3rds of the way down the list
[03:06] <rww> n1ea: disclaimer: I haven't done DCC on this computer before; I believe it's set up properly, but I might be wrong.
[03:06] <calliscope> hi
[03:06] <rww> n1ea: failed again
[03:07] <n1ea> Yes I see.  Try chat to me please rww
[03:07] <rww> n1ea: sent
[03:08] <skypent> Having trouble playing a netflix DVD.  Does anyone know of a good remedy to the situation (I try opening it with the media player).
[03:08] <fishscene> Skypent: Have you tried using VLC?
[03:09] <Mr> I need help with  an ubuntu theme that does not work
[03:09] <Mr> somebody please
[03:09] <skypent> Fishscene:  Nope, is it included in a package, or should I dl it.
[03:09] <fishscene> Before we go download VLC from the Software store, have you tried another DVD?
[03:09] <IdleOne> skypent: always search in Software Center first or Synaptic Package Manager
[03:10] <Mr> Im using the JULinux Ubuntu distro and I want the win7 theme and when I run the scripts the START button ends up not working...
[03:10] <fishscene> Netflix DVD's don't do anything special, but they can get scratched and such.
[03:10] <skypent> This is the third DVD I've tried, (2nd netflix).  I just had forgotten about this issue.
[03:11] <KM0201> skypent: have you installed libdvdcss2?
[03:11] <n1ea> @rww - I tried connect chat with you but it doesn't accept.  Strange when I TAB for your name it doesn't go to it though.
[03:12] <fishscene> Yea, you might not have the DVD codec's installed. These have to be installed separately because of pesky licensing issues. Many of these codecs can be found by looking for "gstreamer" on the ubuntu software center.
[03:12] <r00t4rd3d> skypent, you need the restricted format stuff
[03:12] <r00t4rd3d> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[03:13] <skypent> Should I cancel the vlc dl from SPM?
[03:13] <fishscene> yea, go ahead and cancel and check out the link that r00t gave.
[03:13] <horseatingweeds> Why can I connect to a computer on my local network using its IP address (<IP_ADDRESS>) but not its host/machine name?
[03:13] <r00t4rd3d> if you dont want vlc and wish to us something else
[03:13] <rww> n1ea: I'm getting requests and accepting them, but it's failing.
[03:13] <horseatingweeds> Using ssh
[03:14] <fishscene> horseatingweeds: Using a computer name needs netbios enabled (which includes a proper directory server) or DNS entries on your local DNS server.
[03:14] <KM0201> skypent: no realy, cuz vlc is still the best media player.. but you still need to install some restricted stuff
[03:14] <rww> n1ea: doesn't work if I do passive dcc either, it seems. you might need to do so on your end.
[03:14] <dnivra> horseatingweeds, i guess there is no way to convert the host name to the IP address aka DNS isn't there.
[03:14] <n1ea> rww:  I understand.  I will apt-get purge xchat and ircw and see what happens.  I found a workaround for cwirc - start xchat with command aoss xchat.  Bye for now.
[03:15] <horseatingweeds> fishscene, dnivra, I'd have to add a line in the host file?
[03:15] <Dola> i need help with winamp and win98
[03:15] <skypent> Can the vlc automatically use the libdvd codecs?
[03:16] <fishscene> That would work... But if you don't have a static IP address or static DHCP entry, it might change and you'd have to manually update the host file again.
[03:16] <Dola> i've downloaded midi's and i want to convert them to the real songs
[03:16] <Dola> standing by for guidance.
[03:16] <fishscene> Dola: If it's not related to Ubuntu, there's not much we can do to help you here.
[03:16] <Dola> ok..sorry i'm drunk
[03:16] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[03:16] <KM0201> skypent: no, you need to install it.
[03:16] <KM0201> !dvd | skypent
[03:16] <gatos_> and a Wni user
[03:17] <r00t4rd3d> Dola,  im sure there is a app for ubuntu that would do that
[03:17] <xangua> !medibuntu
[03:17] <xangua> skypent: you can get libdvdcs2 from medibuntu repositories
[03:17] <fishscene> VLC might come with libdvdcss. I'm not sure though.
[03:17] <skypent> Yes, I dled the libdvdcs2.  Just wondering if my vlc can use it after or if I have to select the path to it.
[03:17] <KM0201> fishscene: not to my knowledge... regardless, it only takes 5sec to install... no real reason not to install it
[03:17] <KM0201> skypent: no, vlc should see it no problem.... as long as you installed it properly
[03:17] <fishscene> KM0201: User preference :) I love VLC personally. :d
[03:17] <blud> r00t4rd3d: ok the first thing that samba guide says is that your computer needs a static IP. So I tried to follow these instructions on setting a static IP: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=2305
[03:18] <blud> but i'm using wlan0 not eth0, because I'm using a wireless connection..
[03:18] <KM0201> fishscene: same here... just saying, he'll still need it even w/ VLC.. so he's gotta install it anyway
[03:18] <blud> now i can't ping the gateway and i have no internet :|
[03:18] <skypent> alright.
[03:18]  * fishscene learns something new
[03:19]  * Dola learns something new.
[03:19] <jimmyzasdf>  can i turn off the feature which asks for my password whenever i change a system setting?
[03:19]  * KM0201 learned something new earlier... a wireless device as eth1?  whoddathunkit
[03:19] <skypent> Thank you much people.  I get to watch Paprika now :D!
[03:19] <Dola> i'm starting my own channel.  #vistawallpapers!
[03:19] <KM0201> lol
[03:19] <dnivra> KM0201, i have eth2 but no eth0 or eth1 :)
[03:19] <Dola> alright gents...have a happy new years
[03:20] <r00t4rd3d> blud, i wouldnt worry about setting the static ip
[03:20] <xangua> skypent: the machine to watch dreams¿ great movie :D
[03:20] <fishscene> g2g. Hopefully empathy will include a way to NOT SHOW contacts who are offline. =\
[03:20] <fishscene> exit
[03:20] <KM0201> dnivra: that's not "entirely unusual" i guess... but i've never saw  a wireless device that wasn't wlan0 or wlan1
[03:20]  * KM0201 hates empathy...
[03:20] <dnivra> KM0201, yeah that is true. seen it three or four times here.
[03:20]  * dnivra has no empathy :)
[03:20] <skypent> xangua: Sweet.  I'm going into it blind, so it might trip me out.
[03:20] <KM0201> dnivra: never saw it till i was helping someone earlier
[03:21] <dnivra> KM0201, same here :)
[03:21] <KM0201> dnivra: lol, me either.. it was the first program i dumped after installing
[03:21] <r00t4rd3d> blud setting static ip's in your router is alot easier
[03:21] <dnivra> KM0201, it could have more than one meaning. yeah same here 'apt-get purge empathy&&apt-get install pidgin' :)
[03:21] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: i'v enever understood why people think the OS should assign a static IP...
[03:22] <r00t4rd3d> so it doesnt change
[03:22] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: i understand that, but set it up through your router..
[03:22] <r00t4rd3d> yeah thats how i do it
[03:22] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: the other way, seems like saying "I need to stop and get gas, so i'll wait till I run out then walk to the gas station"
[03:23] <blud> r00t4rd3d, i do have to worry about having a static ip, if it's not static then each time i want to use the shared folder i have to find out what the new IP of the computer is
[03:23] <KM0201> blud: assign it through your router
[03:23] <r00t4rd3d> true but get it working then we can work on the static ip
[03:23] <blud> first i have to go undo what i just did
[03:24] <r00t4rd3d> blud, do you have a router ? Hopefully a Linksys....
[03:25] <r00t4rd3d> more hope for a WRT version with ddwrt on it :D
[03:25]  * KM0201 has a Netgear router.. assigning IP's takes 5sec.. :)
[03:26] <r00t4rd3d> good cause i only know linksys if he has something different
[03:26] <blud> ok i fixed it so its back to normal,
[03:26] <blud> yeah i have a linksys router
[03:27] <blud> its connected to another linksys router that i use as a WAP
[03:27] <blud> but the main router is the gateway
[03:28] <ambrosius> happy new year everyone
[03:28] <Maucat> hello everybody
[03:29] <ambrosius> hi
[03:29] <KM0201> hi Maucat
[03:29] <lano> HI all can someone please help me, i cant seem to fin rpc.statd in /var/lib/nfs and due to this i belive i cant seem to map any nfs share
[03:30] <Maucat> KM0201, I come from china
[03:30] <blud> r00t4rd3d: so where do i do this, in the WAP router or the gateway router?
[03:30] <blud> :p
[03:31] <KM0201> blud: i'm not sure exactly where in a linksys router.. i'm sure it's quite easy..
[03:31] <r00t4rd3d> in the services tab on the main router
[03:31] <r00t4rd3d> what do you have like a wireless bridge setup ?
[03:32] <blud> yeah basically i guess. The main router does dhcp and the wap doesnt
[03:32] <lano> HI all can someone please help me, i cant seem to fin rpc.statd in /var/lib/nfs and due to this i belive i cant seem to map any nfs share
[03:33] <r00t4rd3d> In the main router settings under the serives tab , you enter the mac address of the device you want static ip. Enter the mac , the ip you want like <IP_ADDRESS> and enable. Reboot the computer.
[03:34] <IdleOne> !find rpc.statd
[03:34] <IdleOne> in nfs-common
[03:34] <KM0201> hmm
[03:34] <lano> cd /
[03:35] <IdleOne> Error: Permission Denied.
[03:35] <IdleOne> :)
[03:35] <horseatingweeds> If ssh is working, should scp work as well or does the server need something installed?
[03:35] <rww> horseatingweeds: by default, scp should work if ssh does
[03:36] <pksadiq> IdleOne: I thought you don't know to smile ;)
[03:36] <JRWR> Ive got a server that i need to do a full backup on over a limited internet connection, the server as a ton of identical files, what would be the best thing to make the backup with, im thinking Rsync
[03:36] <lano> ubottu,  so how do i get it to start i am constantly getting this messages mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
[03:36] <lano> mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
[03:36] <lano> mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
[03:36] <blud> r00t4rd3d I know what you mean but i cant find it in this router.. looking...
[03:36] <blud> its the RT31P2 btw
[03:37] <lano> IdleOne,  can u help me out
[03:37] <IdleOne> lano: sorry I don't know more but try installing nfs-common see if that helps
[03:37] <anon__> Is there any way to disable the root shell prompt in recovery mode?
[03:38] <anon__> Or at least make it require a password?
[03:38] <lano> i have installed that
[03:38] <lano> and it seems like its installed but it keeps complaining about statd
[03:38] <KM0201> anon__: i've commented it out of grub before, but then every time i'd boot, it would do a system check for some reason..
[03:38] <lano> and it does not seem to be running/ i cant find it
[03:39] <pksadiq> lano: in terminal try find / | grep rpc.statd
[03:40] <r00t4rd3d> blud , ive never used that model before but it should be pretty easy. Just look for a Services tab or Static Leases.
[03:40] <lano> pksadiq, i found it its located in sbin
[03:40] <blud> Static Routing?
[03:40] <pksadiq> lano: in terminal type rpc.statd
[03:41] <pksadiq> lano: and proceed to you older steps
[03:41] <horseatingweeds> rrw, Thanks. I was doing it wrong. ;-)
[03:41] <SC-M> how to change dns from CLI?
[03:41] <rww> horseatingweeds: no problem
[03:41] <lano> pksadiq,  eveytime i try mounting a nfs  mount point to my qnap server i get this message
[03:42] <lano> mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.X.X.X:/Work
[03:42] <pksadiq> lano: still the same error?
[03:42] <lano> yes
[03:42] <SC-M> how to change DNS from CLI
[03:42] <lano> i even tried
[03:42] <lano> rpc.statd -Fd and i can see its waiting for connection
[03:42] <cody_> Hey, how do I run .run files?
[03:42] <bluezonemobile> Cody
[03:42] <cody_> yes?
[03:43] <rww> SC-M: if you're not using network-manager, edit /etc/resolv.conf.
[03:43] <bluezonemobile> Sh name.run
[03:43] <cody_> kk
[03:43] <cody_> got it
[03:43] <cody_> in terminal, right?
[03:43] <bluezonemobile> If that doesn't work try ./name.run, yes
[03:43] <brent> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 10.10 64 bit, instaled my nvidia card. how do i get audio to work over hdmi?
[03:43] <KM0201> how would you do that anywhere but terminal?
[03:43] <bluezonemobile> Make sure your in the right directory
[03:43] <pksadiq> lano: try rpc.statd -n ipaddress
[03:44] <lano> ip address to my qnap san storage
[03:44] <n1ea> rww Do you know what I have to install to /msg or /chat with irssi?
[03:44] <pksadiq> lano: something like 198.....
[03:44] <bluezonemobile> Km0201 yeah, I hate thaat question
[03:44] <KM0201> n1ea: i don't think you have to install anything.. but could be wrong
[03:44] <pksadiq> lano: sorry 192....
[03:44] <lano> pksadiq,  nothing happens
[03:45] <n1ea> rww do you see my msg ?
[03:45] <blud> wow man, the web server on my router appears to have crashed lol
[03:45] <cody_> is there a program I'm supposed to have installed for .run files? it keeps opening in Gedit.
[03:45] <KM0201> bluezonemobile: i usually tell them to do it in gedit
[03:45] <rww> n1ea: I PMed you
[03:45] <cody_> and it's an installer.
[03:45] <bluezonemobile> cody no use ./ or sh
[03:45] <cody_> .....
[03:45] <cody_> kk
[03:45] <KM0201> cody_: ..lol
[03:46] <bluezonemobile> In the right direectory
[03:46] <apfekatze> Happy new year
[03:46] <bluezonemobile> U2
[03:46] <n1ea> rww: Nothing seen - maybe I have to install screen or something
[03:46] <pksadiq> lano: might be you need to set the port too rpc.statd -n ippaddress -p port      I don't know which port does it have to listen, sorry
[03:46] <blud> idk r00t4rd3d, neither of my linksys routers have a services tab or anything abotu static leases :| (my other one is a 400wrt or something
[03:46] <Zvrk> nlea, you need to connect to server first like irc.freenode.net
[03:46] <bluezonemobile> Sorry I can't type very fast I'm on my phone
[03:46] <KM0201> Zvrk: well, he's here.. so one can safely assume that he's likely connected to a server..
[03:47] <pksadiq> bluezonemobile: which client?
[03:47] <rww> n1ea: have you used irssi much? there should be a new activity window opened for DCC with =rww in it. Ctrl-n will switch to the next window; check and make sure it's not hidding somewhere.
[03:47] <brent> any nvidia experts???
[03:47] <cody_> nope, the two commands open it in Gedit, you should know that this is a Ubuntu derivitive called Ultimate Edition.
[03:47] <cody_> as in I should have told you.
[03:47] <lano> ugh thanks hitting a wall here
[03:47] <KM0201> cody_: then you probably need to seek help from the ultimate edition channel...
[03:47] <cody_> kk
[03:47] <cody_> not sure what channel that is, though.
[03:48] <KM0201> !ultimate | cody_
[03:48] <pksadiq> !nvidia | brent
[03:48] <KM0201> cody_: hmm. looks like you might be SOL, ultimate doesn't have an IRC channel.. might have to see if they hae a forum
[03:48] <cody_> hmmm, makes sense, then
[03:48] <cody_> well, guess i'll resort to the forums.
[03:49] <KM0201> do they have forums?
[03:49] <KM0201> whats the appeal of ultimate edition anyway?
[03:49] <cody_> at least the didn't leave us out of options.
[03:49] <brent> i have my card installed, just no audio
[03:49] <cody_> yes, they have forums
[03:49] <lano> pksadiq,  i am getting this errors in messages file nfsd: last server has exited, flushing export cache , svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 97)
[03:49] <bluezonemobile> Your still having problems with .run?
[03:49] <cody_> the appeal is it serves my needs better.
[03:49] <cody_> i'll go and ask there.
[03:49] <KM0201> cody_: obviously, you can't even install an sh file
[03:49] <cody_> wow
[03:50] <r00t4rd3d> blud im not sure cause I have never used that model before.
[03:50] <wyclif> cody_: there is also Lubuntu
[03:50] <zevlag> Personal Request: I'm in a contest for my house remodel and need more votes, all you have to do is click +Vote, 1 vote per IP, your help is greatly appreciated: http://www.rtacabinetstore.com/contest/2010/12/01/new-house-new-kitchen-in-progress/
[03:50] <bluezonemobile> Well either I failed or he did I don't know anymore,
[03:50] <KM0201> wyclif: somethng tells me if he's using ultimate, he doesn't want to use lubuntu
[03:51] <wyclif> KM0201: Haha! True. I only saw the ubottu info
[03:51] <bluezonemobile> Why doesn't everyone just simply use desktop or server or netbook lol
[03:51] <KM0201> bluezonemobile: cuz that would be way to friggin simple
[03:52] <bluezonemobile> Hah
[03:52] <rww> We need 10,000 derivatives to make life as confusing as possible.
[03:52] <pksadiq> lano: I just said in general, don't know much deeper, might be nfsstat help you, sorry
[03:52] <wyclif> bluezonemobile: well I find a lot of users on Lucid because it's desktop and server edition
[03:52] <KM0201> bluezonemobile: there's always someone out there, who's figured they can make ubuntu better, when in truth.. all they usually do is add a feww splashy wallpapers an dinstall a few extra packages
[03:53] <pksadiq> rww: add some more zeros, it values zero
[03:53] <KM0201> Guest7328: running IRC as root probably isn't the smartest thing in the world..
[03:53] <bluezonemobile> I tried learning everything about ubuntu and c in a week, I got far but I think it would require a lifetime
[03:53] <wyclif> KM0201: Not trying to advocate here, but at least Lubuntu, by means of LXDE, tries to make it small and fast, cutting down the footprint. Better for old hardware.
[03:53] <pksadiq> bluezonemobile: what is the command puts("");  for?
[03:54] <wyclif> KM0201: but I know what you mean.
[03:54] <bluezonemobile> Pksadiq its to print a character
[03:54] <bluezonemobile> Entirely useless
[03:54] <KM0201> bluezonemobile: yeah.. i laugh at the people who install 7am, 10am, they want to learn how to write software from soruce and program, by 12 theyv'e encountered some insurmountable problem, and by 3:00, they've reinstalled windows
[03:54] <bluezonemobile> Use printf
[03:54] <KM0201> wyclif: oh i totally agree.. if you actually  make an improvement(like lubuntu did)... i have no issue w/ that
[03:54] <pksadiq> bluezonemobile: not only character, but strings too
[03:55] <bluezonemobile> Yeah, but just use printf lol
[03:55] <KM0201> wyclif: but when soeone takes ubuntu, keeps gnome on it, removes a few packages, adds a few packages, and tossed a few fancy wallpapers on it, then spins it as "ultimate edition"... it makes you wonder
[03:55] <pksadiq> bluezonemobile: how did you learn c? I would to like to learn, but didn't find good easier resources
[03:56] <PhonicUK[Sleep]> hey all, I can't seem to use any power govenors except Performance and Powersave
[03:56] <bluezonemobile> Pksadiq I used "c" for dummies 2004 but I only learnt the basics with that took me about 3 days
[03:56] <wyclif> KM0201: I remember the early days of desktop Linux where you'd get a CD from somewhere (magazine?) and be disappointed to find it was just one of the major distros with a layer of crap UI and different wallpaper and eye candy goo
[03:56] <PhonicUK[Sleep]> anyone know which package provides the power govenors so I can reinstall them?
[03:56] <lano> fixed it
[03:56] <KM0201> wyclif: yup
[03:57] <KM0201> wyclif: and even better, all that eyecandy would be on a distro that was over a year old
[03:57] <pksadiq> bluezonemobile: but such books teaches as bad habits of programming, I need gcc based tutorials in Gnu Free documentation Licence
[03:58] <blud> well im going to ask linksys chat support...
[03:58] <blud> but they dont support the RT31P anymore so i doubt they will even tell me
[03:58] <pksadiq> lano: how?
[03:58] <bluezonemobile> Pksadiq eh its not too bad and it shows u how to use gcc
[03:58] <lano> can someone tell me how to mount a drive to be on my desktop, if i create a folder calle work on my dekstop and i mount the drive another drive appears on to my desktop
[03:58] <cygnus_> Hi, how can I allow an exceptio nto my ubuntu firewall so my lan machine can ssh in?
[03:58] <bluezonemobile> Dobnt really need a tut for gcc
[03:58] <wyclif> KM0201: To me it's all down to Debian/Ubuntu and RH/CentOS. I just don't see much point in perpetuating a ton of other projects at this point.
[03:58] <bluezonemobile> Just man gcc
[03:59] <lano> pksadiq, it was my stupid mistake
[03:59] <KM0201> wyclif: totally agree... although.. Fedora is my favorite RH distro
[03:59] <KM0201> but it's basically redhat as well.
[03:59] <pksadiq> lano: try sudo mount /dev/<drive> ~/Desktop/<folder to be mounted>
[03:59] <lano> i created a new nfs mount point but i didnt give it right permissions on my nas
[03:59] <pksadiq> lano: what error?
[03:59] <pksadiq> lano: I mean mistake
[03:59] <KM0201> wyclif: i think thats part of linux's problem, the OS itself is skitzophrenic and can't decide what packaging system it wants to use.
[04:00] <lano> pksadiq,  i have 8 bay qnap drive when u create nfs folders u actually need to specify the folder permisions and u if u would like to give nfs access to that folder
[04:00] <wyclif> KM0201: plus you have to wonder how much that duplication of effort is hurting Linux adoption. Having one or two really solid options (Ubuntu w/ .deb, RH w/ .rpm) would be best
[04:01] <pksadiq> lano: do you mean u to be you?
[04:01] <wyclif> KM0201: sorry, meant Fedora
[04:01] <KM0201> wyclif: i figured you did.
[04:02] <lano> pksadiq,  when you say /dev/<drive> ? is that ip address coz i am connection to my nas via IP
[04:02] <lano> pksadiq,  yes
[04:02] <pksadiq> !u
[04:02] <bluezonemobile> Ew I hate fedora lol
[04:02] <Guest39298> For some reason scrolling my mouse wheel doesn't do anything, but it does work for middle clicks.
[04:02] <KM0201> wyclif: but if you only have 2 distros(ie, ubuntu and fedora).. then you run into... Ubuntu.. because it is so newb friendly, is very bloated.. it's one reason i prefer debian
[04:03] <pssalman> hi all
[04:03] <pssalman> i have a Conexant AccessRunner ADSL WAN USB Adapter and i want to switch from windows to ubuntu! i have installed along side windows and i don't know how can i get my ADSL adapter to work under ubuntu? any help please?
[04:03] <tamaros> KM0201: you can have multiple distros that use a unified package management system
[04:03] <wyclif> KM0201: I prefer Debian too, but wasn't sure if I was allowed to say that here
[04:04] <KM0201> tamaros: i know that..  wyclif and i were having a different discussion.
[04:04] <R0b0t1> Hello, I have a Logitech 3d extreme joystick. I am using the joystick utilities in the Ubuntu repository... jscal, however, does nothing... It runs, but it doesn't actually _do_ anything.
[04:04] <tamaros> KM0201: Sorry, I'm just butting in because I was bored
[04:04] <rww> I prefer Debian too, but I also prefer that we keep distro preferences to #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[04:04] <KM0201> wyclif: i am grateful to ubuntu though, it got me off the Windows tit, but once i had the basics down, i switched.. but i still hang out here, cuz i know most newbs are gonna try ubuntu first.. and frankly, most the guys in #debian are jackasses
[04:05] <wyclif> rww: Duly noted.
[04:05] <pksadiq> lano: I think then you need to use scp to copy files, I don't know much , check man scp
[04:05] <KM0201> :)
[04:05] <bluezonemobile> Haha the tit
[04:05] <tomd> Hi, im tying to use fuse and have installed flickrfs and sshfs. when i grep lsmod for fuse, nothing is shown. I also have tried to manually load with sudo modprobe fuse. Using 10.10 with 2.6.32-27-generic 2.6.32-27-generic. Any brilliant insights?

[04:06] <pssalman> i have a Conexant AccessRunner ADSL WAN USB Adapter and i want to switch from windows to ubuntu! i have installed along side windows and i don't know how can i get my ADSL adapter to work under ubuntu? any help please?
[04:06] <KM0201> man it is a slow night, folks must be out drinking
[04:06] <null1> So...I think I may have bricked my PC. I powered down during an ubuntu install on a fully encrypted HD
[04:06] <SPooN> !mint
[04:07] <KM0201> null1: yeah.. i'd say thats probably gonna fit the definition of "bricked"
[04:07] <vu1kan> I wrote a bash script to check a specific directory for files and display a zenity notification if it finds any.  The directory is where I have automatically downloaded torrents stored, I'd like it to put an icon in the tray if there are files there so I know to start my torrent client.  The script works when I test it, but does not work if I let cron run it, could someone maybe help me debug?( http://pastebin.com/PyyiyeqJ )
[04:07] <null1> KM0201: Do you have any idea how I might troubleshoot it, before I just throw my HD in the e-waste? :(
[04:07] <KM0201> can an encrypted hard drive be formatted?
[04:07] <rww> yes
[04:07] <KM0201> then i think that would be the answer
[04:08] <CarlFK> null1: ide encryption?  I am thinking whatever it is you can just format it.  not like my phone that is bricked
[04:08] <industry__> vu1kan: cron scripts run in a "clean" environment, usually with few or no environmental variables set
[04:08] <SPooN> do CD-R's work for making startup disks from .iso files?
[04:08] <tamaros> SPooN: if it has the space for the iso and you burn it corrctly to be bootable
[04:08] <vu1kan> industry__:  the script has absolute file paths, if that helps
[04:09] <KM0201> SPooN: sure they do.
[04:09] <SPooN> tamaros, how do I burn it correctly? :P
[04:09] <null1> CarlFK: during the installation process of ubuntu 10.10, I clicked full disc partition with LVM encryption
[04:09] <vu1kan> */paths/path...it only calls the one directory
[04:09] <CarlFK> null1: no prob - reboot the cd and start over
[04:09] <SPooN> I was asking because startup disk creator doesn't recognize the one I have in
[04:09] <KM0201> SPooN: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
[04:09] <tamaros> SpooN: that depends on the program you use to burn.  Some figure it out on their own some you have to tick an option
[04:09] <SPooN> thank you KM0201
[04:09] <null1> CarlFK: I did that, and it wouldn't let me install GRUB
[04:09] <KM0201> SPooN: that first utility there.. ISO Recorder, is awesome.. i'd use it.
[04:09] <pssalman> any one please help
[04:09] <pssalman> i have a Conexant AccessRunner ADSL WAN USB Adapter and i want to switch from windows to ubuntu! i have installed along side windows and i don't know how can i get my ADSL adapter to work under ubuntu? any help please?
[04:10] <pksadiq> !burn | SPooN
[04:10] <SPooN> KM0201, isn't that a windows utility? I'm on Ubuntu
[04:10] <KM0201> SPooN: oh.. if you're using ubuntu... use Gnomebaker... install it from synaptic...
[04:10] <SPooN> ok
[04:10] <SPooN> thanks to all ;)
[04:11] <KM0201> SPooN: after you install gnomebaker.. i believe you open gnomebaker then go to tools/burn CD ISO(or DVD, whichever media you're using)...  navigate to the ISO, and thats that
[04:12] <null1> full explanation: I started an installation of Ubuntu on my entire HD, realized that I had clicked the wrong encryption method ( I wanted 256bit serpent but I just used the default) and after I realized I had chosen the wrong one, I powered off the comp after the base installation completed and then I tried to start over with my pen drive installer. When I tried again, I errored out with installing GRUB on the master boot record
[04:12] <CarlFK> null1: I am guessing your disk is confusing the installer.  the encryption is just different bytes, not .. um... you can just overwrite them with new bytes.  assuming the tool doesn't get concerned with the old bytes
[04:13] <CarlFK> null1: i have had problems using disks from raid arrays as stand alone disks.  I think just running fdisk to create a blank partition table was all I needed to do.
[04:14] <foolhardy> x won't start. How do I tell ubuntu to use "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)" driver via the cli?
[04:14] <null1> So should I just execute a shell command from the installer on my pen drive to use fdisk and make a blank partition table?
[04:15] <usr13> foolhardy: nvidia-settings or nvidia-xconfig
[04:15] <usr13> foolhardy: nvidia-xconfig
[04:15] <CarlFK> null1: yep.
[04:16] <pssalman> i have a Conexant AccessRunner ADSL WAN USB Adapter and i want to switch from windows to ubuntu! i have installed along side windows and i don't know how can i get my ADSL adapter to work under ubuntu? any help please?
[04:16] <KM0201> pssalman: is the wireless device plugged in now?
[04:17] <usr13> !adsl | pssalman
[04:17] <R0b0t1> Hello, ah, the Ubuntu manpages have an entry for jscal-store, yet I am unable to install it.
[04:17] <R0b0t1> What do?
[04:18] <pssalman> no wireless.... it is just a usb modem... but how can i know that ubuntu got its driver?
[04:19] <r00t4rd3d> pssalman, type lsusb in a terminal
[04:20] <r00t4rd3d> then copy and paste the chipset line here
[04:20] <pssalman> okay... i will reboot to go to ubuntu and check...
[04:20] <r00t4rd3d> im looking for the chipset
[04:21] <r00t4rd3d> it will be near the end of the lsusb output
[04:21] <ambrosius> didn't know there are usb adsl modems
[04:23] <p_res> ambrosius: They're crap compared to ethernet model, but yeah they're out there in the wild.
[04:24] <null1> Those who are wiser than me: I am going through the installer again, and I am wondering if the installer is capable of overwriting my encrypted HD without asking me for a password? I am in the "partitions formatting" stage and I am about to re-partition my HD into just 1 hard drive, and it isn't prompting me for the password I had used to encrypt it, etc...Does that mean it hasn't actually tried to access the hard drive yet, or
[04:24] <null1> into just 1 partition***="into just 1 hard drive"
[04:25] <industry__> null1: you don't need the password to re-partition an encrypted volume, assuming you're not interested in the data in it
[04:26] <technikfreak> happy new year
[04:26] <null1> industry__: Thank you :) :) That makes me think i didn't brick my system.
[04:26] <GeekSquid> null1: partitioning doesn't care if the drive is encrypted or not... it will just create a clean partition... Encrypted files mean they cannot be accessed without a key, but can be deleted by formatting
[04:27] <hacked_kernel> when i installed  Ubuntu I didn't choose the option to encrypt home partition, how can i enable this after the installation?
[04:27] <SPooN> yep another error trying to get Mint 10 to bootup. I give up. Sticking to Ubuntu singleboot afterall
[04:28] <blud> well linksys chat support was a lot of help  :|
[04:28] <KM0201> SPooN: what was the error?... if your PC is powerful enough, just set it up in vbox.
[04:28] <blud> lol.
[04:29] <blud> they said Yeah your router can do that but we only support that feature over the phone
[04:29] <SPooN> my pc isn't powerful enough :P
[04:29] <blud> and i look all over my router and i cant see that feature
[04:29] <TyrantElf> Why is everyone talking about encrypting things right now?
[04:29] <ohzie> rtdos: Sorry?
[04:30] <null1> TyrantElf: Because I fucked up while trying to install 10.10 by powering down during installation with a fully encrypted HD
[04:30] <KM0201> blud: did you really expect online tech support to be anything more than slightly useless?
[04:30] <pssalman> Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0572:cb00 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc. ADSL Modem
[04:30] <blud> KM0201 no not really :p
[04:30] <TyrantElf> ahh, that would be a very good reason why.....
[04:30] <KM0201> blud: well at least it wasn't a let down
[04:31] <blud> so apparently what i want to do is called DHCP reservation
[04:31] <rtdos> i'm sorry, ohzie? did i miss something?
[04:31] <blud> i just want to set it via my router so that my wireless laptop has a static internal IP

[04:32] <DarsVaeda> how do i get my user to be part of the video group?
[04:32] <pssalman> KM0201 what is that? and how can i make the connection
[04:33] <KM0201> pssalman: did you not even read the thread?.. it discusses yoru device, and how to make it work.. and basically.. i'm gonna go out on a limb you will get nowhere w/ it
[04:33] <KM0201> pssalman: what version of linux did you install?
[04:33] <Nexxus> I have a movie that is in .avi format that i would like to burn to a dvd disk but when i put the file onto the disc it is just the file and can be played by computers but not by a DVD playing device. How do i get the .avi to burn to the sick so that i can watch it on a DVD player?
[04:33] <pssalman> Ubuntu 10.10
[04:34] <KM0201> pssalman: well, read the thread, you're gonna have to do a lot of it to get that device going
[04:34] <pssalman> KM0201: thank you
[04:34] <sacarlson> Nexxus: try look at k3b
[04:35] <p_res> Nexxus: You need devede.
[04:36] <blud> KM0201: i did more research and found out that the only thing they linksys tech guy told me wasnt even true
[04:36] <Nexxus> p_res what does that do
[04:36] <p_res> For it to be able to be read on a commercial dvd player, it has to be re-encoded.
[04:36] <p_res> Devede package allows you to add the file to the dvd and it will recode and burn it for you.
[04:37] <KM0201> blud: lol.. [gomer] surprise, surprise, surprise [/gomer]
[04:37] <blud> yeah..  lol

[04:42] <SPooN> does mint use kde or gnome?
[04:42] <KM0201> SPooN: mint has gnome and kde releases(and an xfce one to i think).. but that's really a uestion for mint support
[04:42] <SPooN> is kde better or worse than gnome? or is it just purely objective?
[04:43] <KM0201> !best | SPooN

[04:44] <elky> their channel is tiny, their forums lacking :(

[04:45] <KM0201> elky: the mint support channel is pretty friendly, but you're right.. not very active... the times i've been in there though, the people were friendly and helpful.. just werent many of htem.

[04:45] <blud> ok so, I have this laptop with a wireless network card, and I want it to have a static IP,
[04:46] <blud> i have a main gateway router that doesn't have a DHCP Reservation feature
[04:46] <blud> and it's connected to another router that i'm using like a WAP that *does* have DHCP reservation
[04:46] <null1> I'm a little bit worried about this re-install I am doing over my encrypted HD, because last time I tried this the computer refused to install GRUB
[04:46] <blud> soo.. can I use that or do i need to set up a static ip on the client side in ubuntu?
[04:47] <sacarlson> blud: this looks like a good link that show you how: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/09/setup-permanent-static-ip-address-ubuntu-10-0410-10-maverick-meerkat/
[04:47] <TyrantElf> blud: try it and find out.  I'd say you could you it on the router that does have dhcp preservation
[04:47] <SPooN> how do you people find help posts so fast without a googlebot :O
[04:48] <blud> tyrantelf, although the DHCP server is disabled on the wap
[04:48] <blud> but yeah.. ok 2 good options to try
[04:49] <blud> yeah im 99.9% sure that i cant do it on the wap. doesnt make sense
[04:49] <blud> (unless i use it as my main router with dhcp, which i dont want to do for other reasons) so i'll try that client side thing
[04:49] <sacarlson> blud: TyrantElf: that a good option,  that's how I have my dhcpd setup to keep my users with the same ip by linking the mac address to an ip in dhcpd
[04:49] <SPooN> !bestbot
[04:49] <TyrantElf> blud:I'm not sure how that would go.

[04:56] <rww> (isn't installed by default, that is)
[04:56] <fzlamn> rww: it is good for me to install aptitude?
[04:56] <rww> fzlamn: if you want to
[04:57] <fzlamn> rww: what is the advantages?
[04:57] <aroman>  Hey... I just install maverick in virtualbox, and I'm getting this message during sudo apt-get update: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz Hash Sum mismatch
[04:57] <fzlamn> rww: for installing aptitude.
[04:58] <rww> fzlamn: compared to apt-get (which is the other popular command-line package manager), it's nice because of various dependency resolution differences and its ncurses frontend.
[04:59] <fzlamn> rww: how about update via terminal, it is good?
[05:00] <rww> fzlamn: sure. Try them, pick the one you like.
[05:00] <blud> thanks sacarlson, that was super easy. Before I was trying to follow some complicated guide with manually editing text files and it didn't even work....
[05:03] <fzlamn> rww: i allways update via terminal and there is some error : Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main Sources 404  Not Found. why?
[05:04] <rww> fzlamn: because you added a PPA that doesn't exist
[05:05] <zedkappa> HAPPY
[05:05] <zedkappa> NEW
[05:05] <zedkappa> YEAR
[05:05] <zedkappa> :D
[05:05] <FloodBot3> zedkappa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:05] <sangho> how can i get the default version of sources.list in Ubuntu 10.10?
[05:05] <Guest56687> happy new year:)
[05:06] <zedkappa> WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[05:06] <fzlamn> rww: how to remove the PPA?
[05:06] <rs0832> Guest56687, Happy New year to you too
[05:06] <rww> fzlamn: find the line for it in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* and delete it
[05:06] <rww> There's a GUI way through Software Sources too, but I don't know it.
[05:06] <fzlamn> rww: in the terminal?
[05:07] <rww> sure
[05:07] <fzlamn> rww: remove via terminal also?
[05:08] <rs0832> fzlamn, the gui way rww told you about is in the system menu>administration>software sources.. then the 'other software' tab
[05:10] <fzlamn> rs0832: software source? there is no software source here...
[05:11] <rs0832> fzlamn, in the system menu under administration?
[05:11] <breadcrumb> !oneko
[05:11] <rww> !-oneko
[05:11] <rww> should have known :(
[05:12] <rs0832> rww, unwanted entry?
[05:12] <fzlamn> rss0832: yes i look for it and no software source, in update manager did you mean?
[05:12] <rs0832> fzlamn, no on the gnome panel, the menus... in the system menu
[05:13] <rs0832> fzlamn, do you have synaptic package manager?
[05:13] <fzlamn> rs0832: yes
[05:14] <rs0832> fzlamn, open it, then in the 'settings' menu, select 'repositories'
[05:15] <fzlamn> rs0832: done
[05:15] <rs0832> fzlamn, ok.. click the second tab (other software) and uncheck the ppa if it is there
[05:16]  * bonjoyee Wishes a Happy & Prosperous New Year!!!
[05:16] <oDesk> hello all
[05:16] <fzlamn> rs0832: uncheck and remove?
[05:17] <rs0832> fzlamn, unchecking it will disable it and should be enough.. but you may remove it if you like
[05:17] <oDesk> i'm on 192.168.5.x and wanted to access other subnet which on 192.168.77.x how can i ?
[05:17] <brent> does anyone know how to get audio working over hdmi on nvidia 430 gt?
[05:18] <avis> happy new years ubuntuians
[05:19] <fzlamn> rs0832: which one is better? uncheck only or remove it?
[05:19] <KM0201> avis: likewise
[05:20] <rs0832> fzlamn, if you want to use the ppa in the future, unchecking it is better... when you want to use it you just have to recheck it rather than readd the ppa
[05:20] <me__w> i hav dwnloaded kubuntu how can i install in my ubuntu gnome???
[05:20] <xangua> me__w: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:21] <Ibis> HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!131313
[05:21] <fzlamn> rs0832: just uncheck is better i guest
[05:21] <nit-wit> me__w, you can just install the desktop if you want kubuntu
[05:21] <rs0832> fzlamn, yes :)
[05:21] <me__w> xangua: no i hav downloaded bt how to install
[05:21] <oDesk> anyone?
[05:21] <fzlamn> rs0832: thanks for the knowledge
[05:22] <fzlamn> rs0832: :)
[05:22] <sync3times> oDesk,   what is the topology?
[05:22] <nit-wit> me__w, you can't in other then a virtual, or in another partition if you downloaded the whole ISO
[05:22] <aroman>  Hey... I just install maverick in virtualbox, and I'm getting this message during sudo apt-get update: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz Hash Sum mismatch.  I can't update or install some software.. it's very much a problem. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! :)
[05:23] <sync3times> oDesk, are both subnets on the same wire or are they separated by a router?
[05:23] <me__w> nit-wit: ya i hav downloaded whole iso kbuntu hlw to install in ubuntu now?
[05:23] <oDesk> sync3times: same wire, separated by Vyatta server
[05:23] <sync3times> oDesk,   the vyatta server is multi-homed?
[05:24] <agentgasmask> what is the off topic channel?
[05:24] <nit-wit> me__w, you can't install it into Ubuntu. What is it your trying to do
[05:24] <oDesk> sync3times: yes if i'm on vyatta i can access both subnets
[05:24] <Flannel> agentgasmask: #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:24] <oneliner> i think that what he wants is the kde ui
[05:24] <agentgasmask> Flannel: Thanks
[05:24] <nit-wit> oneliner, I think the desktop right
[05:24] <sync3times> oDesk,  is the server your default route for either side?
[05:25] <me__w> k bt i want kubuntu in my lapi how to install in in dat
[05:25] <me__w> nit-wit: dn tell me how to install kubuntu in my lapi
[05:25] <oDesk> sync3times: no
[05:25] <nit-wit> me__w, you want the Kubuntu desktop or a seperate install of Kubuntu then Ubuntu
[05:26] <sync3times> oDesk,  so you need to setup a  network route.       something like:    route add -net  192.168.X.X/24    gw  vyatta
[05:27] <sync3times> oDesk,   Both sides need routes setup .    they packets need to know how to get there and how to get back.    Or you can setup the routes on your default routers
[05:27] <oDesk> sync3times: ok, i'll try that
[05:27] <sync3times> oDesk,  how many machines need to talk accross the router?
[05:27] <oDesk> sync3times: mine only
[05:28] <sync3times> oDesk,   bear in mind also,   there is the concept of  forwarding.     If the vyatta is not setup to forward packets accross the interfaces, then it will be a wall
[05:28] <oDesk> sync3times: Vyatta can talk to other subnets nicely
[05:28] <Steve973> for usb-connected external hard drives, is the "sync" option when mounting slower than async?
[05:28] <karma_police> i messed up my /etc/samba/smb.conf file and didn't back it up to begin with..
[05:28] <nit-wit> me__w, if you just want the desktop look in synaptic for kubuntu-desktop I afraid to give you a terminal command here we are not communicating.
[05:28] <AbhiJit> how to open .lit book?
[05:28] <sync3times> oDesk,    you said mine.    you did not say how many boxes on the other side need to talk back?
[05:29] <nit-wit> 8I'm

[05:29] <bluezonemobile> HappY NeW YeAr
[05:29] <gluxon> What would happen if you install ubuntu through the CD (Not wubi) and you deleted the partition ubuntu was on?
[05:29] <avis> happy new years Mr. Shuttleworth
[05:30] <oDesk> sync3times: i feel your first suggestion for adding route might work
[05:30] <KM0201> avis: i guess it depends on your idea of a "cool" desktop... I'm just happy that I don't hav to be afraid of every little link or website i go to.
[05:30] <oDesk> sync3times: i'll give it a try
[05:30] <sync3times> oDesk,   luck
[05:30] <gluxon> Would the computer stop booting past GRUB?
[05:30] <nit-wit> gluxon, yes
[05:30] <Prajwal> Happpieee new YEar!!!~!
[05:31] <nit-wit> gluxon, is this happening to you
[05:31] <rs0832> gluxon, you'd get a grub error 21 or something if i remember right
[05:31] <gluxon> Oh.
[05:31] <gluxon> That's what I thought.
[05:31] <gluxon> I deleted the Ubuntu partition, forgetting that GRUB was on it.
[05:31] <gluxon> Now I'm scared to reboot.
[05:31] <rs0832> gluxon, me too once :D
[05:31] <nit-wit> gluxon, easy fix though you just have to have the right bootloader in the MBR
[05:31] <AbhiJit> how to open .lit book?
[05:31] <gluxon> nit-wit: Yeah, I know :)

[05:42] <blud> I'm trying to follow this guide that r00t4rd3d linked me to, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605  How to set up samba, and I'm at the step where you launch samba but it says command not found
[05:43] <fractal_heart> hi, anyone have working usb pass-through working in virtualbox-4, after installing the extension pack?
[05:43] <null1> Anyone still around who remembers my encrypted HD gaff? -- I just reinstalled without encryption, it seemed to wipe out everything okay and the installation completed successfully, yet now upon restart it is just stuck with a black screen and one of these: "_" blinking
[05:44] <dnivra> blud, which step?
[05:44] <blud> 1.1
[05:44] <AbhiJit> how to open .lit book?
[05:44] <blud> where you type samba and its supposed to run samba
[05:44] <dnivra> blud, samba runs as a daemon.
[05:45] <dnivra> blud, are you in prerequisites?
[05:45] <breadcrumb> blud: that tutorial is very old.. but anyway, try using smbd as the name of the service
[05:45] <dnivra> blud, sorry got it. run 'sudo service smbd start'.
[05:45] <blud> ok
[05:45] <anon__> Is there a way to disable the root shell prompt in revovery mode?
[05:45] <rs0832> AbhiJit, .lit is a microsoft reader format... i am not sure there are any free alternatives to it
[05:46] <blud> it says its already running
[05:46] <dnivra> anon__, you could try removing the recovery entry from grub?
[05:46] <shadaloo> hi what is the command to resart x
[05:46] <blud> i was supposed to stop samba and then make my config file
[05:46] <dnivra> blud, you were supposed to stop it as per this tutorial. didn't you stop it?
[05:46] <anon__> That works, anything less......nuke-ish?
[05:46] <coz_> AbhiJit,   a bit old but look here   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=633429
[05:46] <blud> i stopped it per this tutorial but the tutorial is wrong
[05:46] <dnivra> shadaloo, try 'startx'
[05:46] <blud> ie: i apparently did not stop it
[05:47] <oneliner> does anyone know "mad tracker" or knows of an app that could be run like, say frootyloops for ubuntu?
[05:47] <shadaloo> dnirva, x is bugged im in tty1 right now
[05:47] <blud> cuz the command they said wasnt correct
[05:47] <dnivra> shadaloo, what happens when you shift to tty7?
[05:47] <coz_> AbhiJit,   here also   http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/koobe-Download-29163.html
[05:47] <blud> so do i just say sudo service smbd stop?
[05:47] <dnivra> !tab | shadaloo you got my nick wrong
[05:47] <breadcrumb> i used the SAMBA tutorial from the server guide to get my samba share up and running, it is more up to date too
[05:48] <tsrk> How can I add SSH and networking to runlevel 1?
[05:48] <coz_> AbhiJit,   and this    http://dukelupus.pri.ee/convertlit.php

[05:53] <dnivra> rs0832, google translate i bet?
[05:53] <swazzy> oh ok
[05:53] <rs0832> dnivra, yep :)
[05:54] <rs0832> dnivra, very handy tool
[05:54] <sacarlson> how can I setup an ssh tunnel that the client that logs into the tunnel only can us ssh to tunnel and nothing else?
[05:54] <r00t4rd3d> im so sick of reading about ubuntu "tablets" in all the linux news sites
[05:55] <dnivra> swazzy, i tried iTunes with wine but it doesn't work very well. what model of iPod do you own?
[05:55] <dnivra> swazzy, doesn't work at all actually :)
[05:55] <dnivra> rs0832, i know :). someone should update that factoid to put the text out in chinese; might be a better idea.
[05:55] <oneliner> r00t4rd3d: would you like to see a video instead? :P
[05:55] <microc0sm> i can longer move windows around  and also no min max and close in the corner any suggestions?
[05:56] <rs0832> dnivra, yes..
[05:56] <microc0sm> just looked up way to bring up config editor
[05:56] <GeekSquid> r00t4rd3d: I am waiting for the Honeycomb tablet from MOTO
[05:56] <microc0sm>  but not sure what to do now
[05:57] <al_nz1> with putty on local win machine can I scp a upload to remote?
[05:57] <sacarlson> what method of tunnel setup would be best to setup from the client that is on wifi to tunnel into a host that needs to remote desktop into the client?
[05:57] <GeekSquid> al_nz1: yes ... filezilla is easier
[05:58] <bluezone> i hate windows now lol, if only ubuntu could effectively play cnc3 :(
[05:58] <dnivra> rs0832, that chinese text is correct?
[05:58] <al_nz1> GeekSquid: might not have that option
[05:58] <rs0832> dnivra, the problem with it is the 'for help in chinese' is in english
[05:58] <al_nz1> syntx? scp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>C:\windows.fil ?
[05:59] <rww> rs0832: The Chinese text right next to it says approximately the same thing.
[05:59] <rww> allegedly, anyway. I don't speak it.
[06:00] <dnivra> rww, could you edit the text such that it is fully chinese? do you have rights to edit the factoids? would be good if it was completely in chinese.
[06:00] <rs0832> rww, :) yes.. what i meant was it is in english[for help in chinese] and in chinese[you can visit #ubuntu-cn or #ubuntu-hk]
[06:00] <rs0832> dnivra, you can .. http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Adding_a_factoid
[06:00] <Averna> Hi, I'm trying to download a game update to Ubuntu 9.10 . Was just trying to extract and change file permissions through the windows but I don't have access as root. can someone walk me through the terminal commands?
[06:01] <Scottzor> hey
[06:01] <blud> the samba guide breaks down almost immediately for me since i'm on mythbuntu and stuff just isn't there. So i'm trying to finish that other older guide
[06:01] <dnivra> rs0832, yeah i know :). just that if rww can do it, i needn't forward it and wait for review :)
[06:01] <rww> dnivra: I do, yes. I'd need to run any suggestions past an op that speaks Chinese, though, and the one that I know does isn't around.
[06:01] <oneliner> anyone ever made music on ubuntu?
[06:01] <rs0832> dnivra, ah :)
[06:02] <dnivra> rww, awww. bummer. guess i'll suggest the change.
[06:02] <rww> dnivra: It needs updating anyway to add that you use /join to join the channel. I've been waiting for him to be online to get that sorted too.
[06:02] <r00t4rd3d> bluezone, you can play cnc3 with PlayOnLinux
[06:02] <Scottzor> How would I go about making a file sharing server in my network on a ubuntu server
[06:02] <Scottzor> That windows/mac/linux users can all access with ease?
[06:02] <sacarlson> oneliner: you mean created music?  like with rosegarden? http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
[06:03] <dnivra> Scottzor, you could try samba. win/linux machines with samba installed will work. dunno about mac. another choice is ssh i guess.
[06:03] <Scottzor> How does samba work?
[06:03] <dnivra> rww, alright then-i'll let you sort it out :).
[06:04] <Averna> can someone help me install my eternal lands game update? I have ubuntu 9.10
[06:04] <oneliner> sacarlson: that looks promising, thanks
[06:04] <dnivra> !samba | Scottzor
[06:05] <Scottzor> How does samba allow people to connect?
[06:05] <Scottzor> Do they have there own user account etc?
[06:05] <Tussock> Hello, everyone. I have a MacBook Pro 13", and I want to dual boot it with Ubuntu 10.10, currently I have OS X installed. Any advice?
[06:05] <tsrk> How can I add SSH and networking to runlevel 1?
[06:06] <dnivra> Averna, i guess you need to become root to do it. run whatever command that needs you to become root as root by prefixing a 'sudo' in front of it.
[06:06] <dnivra> Scottzor, Depends-you can make it no password required to read too i think.
[06:06] <Averna> I don't use terminal much - have done it but can't remember exact code
[06:06] <Scottzor> On my server can I just 'sudo apt-get install samba'?
[06:07] <Tussock> Any advice on dual boots for Macs? Or should I check out the Mac OS X room?
[06:07] <dnivra> Scottzor, yeah. that should do it.
[06:08] <r00t4rd3d> then you have to set it up
[06:08] <r00t4rd3d> which isnt a walk in the park for newbs
[06:09] <dnivra> Tussock, hope this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro.
[06:09] <sacarlson> would  zebedee be a better solution to setup a client to host reverse tunnel for remote desktop than an ssh tunnel?  as far as security on the host
[06:09] <Tussock> dnivra, thanks.
[06:09] <Averna> someone once gave me a list of unix coomands but it was lost in my hardrive crash
[06:09] <dnivra> Tussock, no problem :)
[06:10] <Averna> can anyone point me to a concise list of commands?
[06:10] <blud> man?
[06:10] <blud> idk
[06:11] <usaguy987> If I install ubuntu server am I able to install it down to just a console? no GUI at all?
[06:11] <rww> usaguy987: Yes. It doesn't install a GUI by default, in fact.
[06:13] <Tussock> dnivra, just a question: I'm on the webpage https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation, and if you go down to the section under DUAL BOOT: MAC OSX AND UBUNTU, PARTITION, do I just partition straight or do I have to install "refit"?
[06:13] <Tussock> *do I have to install "refit" first?
[06:14] <dnivra> Tussock, I've not used a mac so i cannot help you out there :). maybe somebody else can.
[06:14] <Tussock> dnivra: :P Thanks anyway, I'll check out the Mac room :)
[06:14] <dnivra> Tussock, sure. sorry i can't help out much. no problem!
[06:16] <tzyys> hi
[06:16] <Tussock> Hello, tzyys, happy new year.
[06:16] <daedaluz> problems with video playback AND audio stuttering? search logs for "hpet", if any entries, add "hpet=disable" into boot parameters, it's a kernel bug. EOC.
[06:17] <usaguy987> that is awesome news!! the other question I have is if I install the server ubuntu will it have the full unix command set? I mean like nano, pine, etc... and not use this thing called a "busy box"?
[06:17] <tzyys> happy new year too u all
[06:17] <tsrk> usaguy987: It doesn't use busybox, but some utilities have to be installed with aptitude
