[00:06] <Guinness2702> rarar3: that ? for me?
[00:07] <Muska> hi, having an issue with ubuntu hanging at init-bottom on boot.  how can I troubleshoot what is causing it to hang?
[00:07] <Muska> boots ok in single user with init=/bin/bash however I currently have it chrooted from a knoppix boot
[00:07] <Guinness2702> Muska - you looked at the logs?  always a good place to start
[00:07] <Muska> I looked at messages and dmesg, will scour some other logs to see if there is anything else useful
[00:08] <Muska> Guinness2702, more trying to see what starts around the time init-bottom is executed so I can try to execute things one by one in a chroot environment or in single user to see what hangs and what doesn't
[00:10] <marabi2> Hello
[00:11] <grubbyone> I have a desktop with 5 sata drives in a softraid, and 1 sata ssd which I'm installing ubuntu desktop 64 on, it only boots when I unplug the softraid drives, when all the drives are plugged in, it drops to busybox/initramfs
[00:13] <Nullifi3d> grubbyone: software controlled raid is usually handled by the os
[00:13] <Nullifi3d> meaning if you boot into a different os, no raid
[00:13] <ericus> Do you guys like my netbook look? Gnome/Openbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4375930/scrot.png
[00:13] <grubbyone> Nullifi3d: I can access the raid from different installations
[00:14] <grubbyone> Nullifi3d: as long as it's ubuntu
[00:14] <ai6pg> I have a laptop running 11.10 - now when I try to run an X app from a byobu window I get "Error: Can't open display:"
[00:14] <grubbyone> I just can't boot
[00:14] <Nullifi3d> do you not have a hw raid controller?
[00:15] <osmosis> does aptitude support colorized output?
[00:15] <grubbyone> Nullifi3d: not one to speak of, just an X58 motherboard
[00:15] <SlyUk> ericus, probably for #ubuntu-offtopic but while we are at it i prefer my openbox ;) http://i.imgur.com/CXuNh.png
[00:16] <Nullifi3d> grubbyone: manufacturer?
[00:16] <grubbyone> evga
[00:16] <tman> i prefer awesome window manager
[00:16] <tman> personal preference
[00:17] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[00:17] <Tetracomm> Do any of you know how to turn off a USB port at the command prompt in Ubuntu? Or any of the other ports? I just want a way to use the computer to switch things on and off.
[00:21] <krazed> 10.04 LTS still uses the gnome enviroment right?
[00:21] <marabi2> hey tetracom sup
[00:22] <Nullifi3d> krazed: yes
[00:22] <krazed> Thanks Nullifi3d, appreciate it. Looks like I'm gonna be 'down'grading... also LFM to start an anti-unity movement! :-)
[00:23] <Nullifi3d> 4srs
[00:23] <zykotick9> krazed: 10.04 uses Gnome2 yes
[00:24] <krazed> Thanks zykotick9, I just can't get into Unity. I don't know why, I just hate it.
[00:24] <gridbag> any suggestions for a winamp-like audio player.  xmms seems to be not updated. vlc is kind of kunky.
[00:24] <krazed> gridbag, amarok?
[00:25] <zykotick9> gridbag: audacity
[00:25] <Nullifi3d> i like rythmbox
[00:25] <_TCPDown> i like aqualung
[00:25] <_TCPDown> is better :D
[00:25] <Nullifi3d> sorry, Rhythmbox
[00:25] <forever1> gridbag: clementine player!!!
[00:25] <_TCPDown> Nullifi3d, noob :/
[00:25] <krazed> Anyone here using an iPhone in sync with their ubuntu box?
[00:25] <Nullifi3d> yup :P
[00:25] <zykotick9> moc FTW :p
[00:26] <forever1> krazed: use clementine its linux's itunes
[00:26] <krazed> forever1, thanks I'll definitely check it out.
[00:27] <krazed> Anyone know if 11.10 comes with an ISO burning software by default?
[00:27] <krazed> Just kidding, found it.
[00:28] <zykotick9> krazed: i'm pretty sure brasero burn ISOs
[00:28] <dtmbmw325i> brasero is stock but i prefer k3b
[00:28] <mduffy> brasero does burn iso's
[00:29] <krazed> brasero is actually pretty nice
[00:29] <krazed> nice and simple, I like it
[00:29] <forever1> krazed: try brasero disk burner "not default"
[00:29] <dtmbmw325i> I sometimes have issues with burning discs failing
[00:29] <acerimmer> dtmbmw325i: happens to all of us...
[00:29] <pp7_> can u even burn a dvd (using VOB files etc.) with Brasero?
[00:30] <forever1> dtmbmw325i: whats the version?
[00:30] <kjcole> keyboard-layout-indicator missing.  I have three keyboards defined.
[00:30] <cheapie> Is there a way to determine how loud a playing sound is?
[00:30] <krazed> Is it weird that I like watching ubuntu videos on youtube?
 3.2.0
[00:31] <acerimmer> krazed: to us?  no.  To others? ...
[00:31] <forever1> dtmbmw325i: same as mine, but no problems
[00:32] <krazed> acerimmer, touche. Hmm, my burn is halfway done.. someone help me think of an awesome hostname for my reinstall of 10.04!
[00:32] <dtmbmw325i> krazed: bobsagot
[00:32] <vsync> it's saget
[00:33] <acerimmer> krazed: emperor - type of penguin
[00:33] <krazed> I'm OCD about  this kind've stuff, I need it to actually mean something.
[00:33] <dtmbmw325i> forever maybe it is the media... who knows
[00:33] <vsync> krazed well bobsaget does mean something.
[00:33] <cheapie> krazed: (location)-box, maybe?
[00:34] <forever1> doe's anyone know a good php editor, had to give up dreamweaver?
[00:34] <grubbyone> after a fresh install I get hung on Verifying DMI Pool Data..............
[00:34] <marabi2> hey sup
[00:34] <forever1> marabi2:hey
[00:34] <vsync> forever1 go with eclipse
[00:34] <krazed> Ah, looks like 10.04 is finished burning. Off to 'down'grade I go, see ya'll in a bit.
[00:34] <marabi2> how are you forever1
[00:34] <forever1> vsync: what about bluefish?
[00:35] <grubbyone> windows installs and boots fine
[00:35] <marabi2> hope you fine?
[00:35] <blizzow> Is there a way to boot my machine faster without giving it a static IP address?  I have ubuntu installed on a crucial m4 SSD, and yet I still walk away to get coffee when I boot up because I see the infernal "waiting 60 more seconds for network to boot" sign.
[00:35] <forever1> marabi2: well, and u?, whats the time there by you?
[00:35] <vsync> dno. unless you need an ide, the differences are barely noticeable... though myself i wouldn't need an ide for php
[00:36] <scwizard> I'm installing ubuntu on a desktop I have, and the installation seems to be frozen at "configuring target system"
[00:36] <scwizard> how long should I cross my fingers for?
[00:36] <marabi2> oh the time is 12:35 here and there?
[00:36] <cheapie> marabi2: ...can you tell us what the problem is? It would help a little with the troubleshooting.
[00:36] <forever1> vsync:  just install wammp, going to try set that up later for the local server
[00:36] <marabi2> which kind of problem?
[00:37] <vsync> huh?
[00:37] <forever1> marabi2:02:37 in the morning
[00:37] <cheapie> marabi2: As in, what's wrong with your computer?
[00:37] <marabi2> waaw we are in night
[00:38] <vsync> i miss knight rider
[00:38] <vsync> the new one is crap
[00:38] <scwizard> oh if you press the arrow there's a little console output and a skip button
[00:38] <scwizard> this still doesn't bode well though...
[00:38] <forever1> vsync: do you know xammp?
[00:38] <marabi2> nothing strong with my computer. is there any problem?
[00:39] <cheapie> marabi2: Oh, you're here to help?
[00:39] <vsync> forever1 checked it out just now, well, is that meant to be a sandbox of sorts? But i dunno, never had problems setting a server up so that isn't much for me I think
[00:39] <forever1> I got to say, I'm have less trouble with linux that windows
[00:39] <marabi2> yes if i could do so
[00:40] <cheapie> marabi2: OK.
[00:40] <marabi2> alright cheapie
[00:40] <forever1> vsync: see i had it to easy with easyPHP on windows
[00:40]  * cheapie decides to mod keyboard and goes off in search of sheetmetal cutters
[00:41] <vsync> well you could just install apache, php, db(s) and other stuff you need on the server
[00:41] <vsync> you wouldn't need 'xampp'
[00:41] <marabi2> forever1 are you there?
[00:42] <forever1> marabi2:  I am here
[00:42] <scwizard> nothing is unsing any cpu and the last thing that ran was "plugininstall.py"
[00:42] <scwizard> sooo... what do I do?
[00:42] <scwizard> I just want to install linux u_u
[00:42] <forever1> vsync: True, have you tried the gauke drop down console yet?
[00:42] <marabi2> that"s great forever
[00:43] <TedNJ42> I need some help please.  Every day my computer is going crazy.  My hard drive turns into a read-only hard drive and when I re-start my box, it tells me that the partition / is showing errors and then it says that the partition /tmp can not be found.  I have to Force it to check it and repair it but the next day, it happens again.  I have already replaced 2 hard drives and I still have the same
[00:43] <TedNJ42> problem.  Is there a bug in my system?  And, Does anyone know how I can fix that?
[00:43] <fishscene> Hello everyone. I am unable to log into Xfire via Empathy and I was wondering if anyone knew how to resolve it.
[00:43] <kjcole> (Rehi. Got cut off.)  Once again: Anyone know how to get the keyboard layout indicator to show? (Unity / Oneiric)
[00:43] <forever1> marabi2: are you on the #ubuntu chat only or other chat channels?
[00:44] <acerimmer> TedNJ42: MULTIPLE had failures?  I strongly suspect you've got hardware issues - failing HD card perhaps?  Short in the system?
[00:44] <kjcole> On a fresh install, it worked fine, but on an upgraded system, it's not showing, but key-combo Shift+CapsLock switches to a different layout.
[00:45] <marabi2> no am not only chatting on ubuntu
[00:45] <forever1> marabi2: same :)
[00:45] <TedNJ42> Acerimmer:  But, after I force a repair, it starts just fine.
[00:46] <jimmiekosmo> not exactly. I am trying to install an older version of ubuntu (10.10) so i downloaded the file and wrote the .iso to a cd. i booted into the cd and all that happens is that i boot into my current version of ubuntu (11.10)
[00:46] <marabi2> ok can you tell which side you are using again..
[00:46] <kjcole> Endless searches all say "It's easy. Just add more than one keyboard." However, no joy there.
[00:46] <acerimmer> TedNJ42: software repair shows OK but the issue comes back, right?  suspect hardware...
[00:46] <TedNJ42> Time to change the box.  Thanks acerimmer
[00:47] <jimmiekosmo> hello?
[00:47] <acerimmer> TedNJ42: swap driver cards = cheap fix
[00:47] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: greetings
[00:47] <fishscene> Has anyone been able to log on to Xfire in Empathy?
[00:47] <jimmiekosmo> hi, I am trying to install an older version of ubuntu (10.10) so i downloaded the file and wrote the .iso to a cd. i booted into the cd and all that happens is that i boot into my current version of ubuntu (11.10)
[00:48] <stoneguy> a
[00:48] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: and 11.10 is installed to your HDD?  change your bios to boot CDROM first not HDD
[00:48] <Jordan_U> jimmiekosmo: 1: Why are you trying to install an older version of Ubuntu 2: Are you sure that your BIOS booted from the CD?
[00:48] <donnybe> I am looking for genitally mutilated males for an investigative report.
[00:48] <donnybe> There is a significant possibility of nationwide publicity.
[00:48] <marabi2> hello
[00:49] <marabi2> hello
[00:49] <jimmiekosmo> thats what i did, i went to the boot options and selected my CDROM and it still happened
[00:49] <marcos> anyone here install cedet on emacs enviroment?
[00:49] <marabi2> hello
[00:49] <acerimmer> marabi2: greetings.  questions?
[00:50] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: bios changes have to be saved or they go back to default.
[00:50] <jimmiekosmo> oh, how do i do that?
[00:50] <marabi2> ok ask any question and i will answer if i can
[00:50] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: depends on your system. after changes, look for "save these changes"?
[00:51] <jimmiekosmo> it didnt say that anywhere, when i select the CDROM all it does is boot into my current OS
[00:52] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: make/model of computer
[00:52] <forever1> jimmiekosmo: sounds like the disk is'nt bootable
[00:52] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: change bios to cdrom boot only and see.  if no boot, bad cdrom
[00:53] <jimmiekosmo> its a dell inspiron 7010, and yes it is because i have booted into a disk in the past
[00:53] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: the cdrom you want to boot may be faulty.
[00:53] <marabi2> hey
[00:54] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: disable the boot from hdd option, set boot cdrom only.
[00:54] <jimmiekosmo> it isnt, it works fine with everything else
[00:54] <forever1>  jimmiekosmo: does the disk spin on startup?
[00:54] <jimmiekosmo> yes
[00:55] <forever1> jimmiekosmo: then either the bios is'nt setup to boot the cdrom or the drive is faulty
[00:56] <fishscene> Double-check that you downloaded the correct ISO
[00:56] <alteregod> help
[00:56] <forever1>  jimmiekosmo:  can you test another boot cd like another linux version
[00:56] <jimmiekosmo> OMG YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS YOU SAID THAT FIFTEEN TIMES ND I SAID THATS NOT THE CASE!
[00:56] <fishscene> !help > altergod
[00:56] <acerimmer> !shout
[00:56] <alteregod> i had a major problem, i had a apt-get update and then i jhad a broken pipe over ssh!
[00:57] <Oer>  jimmiekosmo next to the bios setting, do you see F8 boot options during boot ? or F10 maybe ..
[00:57] <alteregod>  a broken pipe, where is it broken?
[00:57] <jimmiekosmo> yes, f12
[00:57] <Oer> jimmiekosmo, oke, use that option too, select cd-dvd
[00:57] <forever1> jimmiekosmo:  we are trying to help via elimination
[00:58] <jimmiekosmo> i did before!
[00:58] <acerimmer> jimmiekosmo: very difficult to fix any problem when one is upset.  now might be a good time to take a break...

[01:04] <grubbyone> boot info script says grub is installed to sda, how do I install it to sdf?
[01:04] <fishscene> nobitanobi: What happens when you go to system settings > printing > add > printer > network printer > find network printer > (type in IP address)?
[01:05] <bazhang> mrmikehicks, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 please
[01:05] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Can you boot from a GNU/Linux LiveCD?
[01:05] <grubbyone> I'm in a livecd now
[01:05] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Ok. What partition is Ubuntu installed to (the root filesystem)?
[01:06] <grubbyone> sdf1
[01:06] <nobitanobi> fishcenne if I follow system - administration - printing I get "Printing service not available., Start the service on this computer or connect to another server"
[01:07] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: OK. Run "sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/ && sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/ && sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/ && sudo mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/ && sudo mount /dev/pts/ /mnt/dev/pts/ && sudo chroot /mnt/"
[01:07] <kazagistar> I wanted to do a minimal install of ubuntu, but when I tried to connect to a network, the install would freeze on a blank purple screen after connecting to dhcp
[01:07] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: After running that, your prompt should have changed to end with a '#' rather than a '$'. Tell me when your done.
[01:07] <grubbyone> jesus, hold on
[01:08] <grubbyone> gonna log in on the machine so I can copy
[01:08] <fishscene> Does anyone remember the name of the package that allows an admin to customize the look and feel of the desktop environment for new users who log in?
[01:08] <Graenis> If anyone's familiar with the sound interface on this os i'd appreciate some help in a pm.
[01:08] <bazhang> Graenis, ask here please
[01:08] <grubbyone_> can you say that again?
[01:09] <Graenis> Oh, okay.
[01:09] <grubbyone_> I got it, hold on
[01:09] <Culiforge> Any wisdom for a geforce 8400gs that's caused my 10.04 to stop booting?
[01:10] <nobitanobi> How do I find a printer by IP please?
[01:10] <grubbyone_> "/dev/pts is not a block device"
[01:10] <nobitanobi> when going to system-adminsitration-printing I get a message like Printing service not available., Start the service on this computer or connect to another server and I'm not even able to add a new printing
[01:10] <Graenis> Well, i'm not very familiar with the sound so i tried to configure my sound settings attempting to get my headset working, i even got "pavucontrol" because the internet suggested i do and starting off trying to get my headset working, i no longer have sound from my speakers.
[01:10] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: OK. Run "sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/ && sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/ && sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/ && sudo mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/ && sudo mount --bind /dev/pts/ /mnt/dev/pts/ && sudo chroot /mnt/"
[01:10] <zykotick9> Culiforge: have you tried nomodeset?  see "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for details
[01:11] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: (I fixed the bug in that command that I had earlier).
[01:11] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Just a second.
[01:11] <grubbyone_> according to mtab, /dev/sdf1 is already mounted on /mnt
[01:12] <kazagistar> since ubuntu minimal install disc is not working, is there some way to install full ubuntu and then strip gnome?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Since you've already done most of the mounting, we need to just continue where we left off with the error. Just run "sudo mount --bind /dev/pts/ /mnt/dev/pts/ && sudo chroot /mnt/"
[01:12] <bazhang> kazagistar, leaving just what?
[01:12] <acerimmer> kazagistar: stripping gnome would break all dependent packages
[01:12] <Graenis> It's actually quite embarassing,
[01:12] <grubbyone_> done
[01:12] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: OK. Your prompt has changed?
[01:13] <grubbyone_> yeah, at /
[01:13] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Good. Now run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc".
[01:13] <kazagistar> bazhang: well, optimally, just a minimal install where I could just have X and awesome running, and some other lightweight apps
[01:13] <grubbyone_> command line is empty
[01:13] <Culiforge> zykotick9: haven't done that, checking it out now, thanks
[01:13] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: It will ask you some questions, I'll tell you how to answer.
[01:13] <Veleno> hi, is there any way I can set my intel 3945abg wireless card to master mode? thank you a lot
[01:14] <Graenis> So, could anyone lend me a hand? i mean. when you're not busy
[01:14] <grubbyone_> would all these problems go away if I just swapped the sata ports of sda and sdf?
[01:14] <bazhang> !puregnome
[01:15] <grubbyone_> and then did a reinstall
[01:15] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: If you set your BIOS to boot from sda, then Ubuntu would boot properly. Re-installing Ubuntu is overkill, and we're almost done changing where grub's boot sector is installed.
[01:15] <grubbyone_> ok, it's asking for a linux command line
[01:15] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: For the first two questions (asking about linux cmdline) just press Enter to continue leaving them at their default (one will be empty by default, that's fine).
[01:16] <kazagistar> basically, I just want a "pureawesome" instead of gnome or kde or xfce
[01:17] <zykotick9> kazagistar: "pureawesome" that's funny.  I recently discovered awesome, and gotta say - I'm lovin' it.
[01:17] <bazhang> kazagistar, you could !purekde it and then just add awesome or what ever else you wanted
[01:17] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Are you at the question about install devices now?
[01:17] <bazhang> !purekde | kazagistar
[01:17] <grubbyone> rebooting with new settings
[01:17] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Wait.
[01:17] <grubbyone> beautiful
[01:17] <grubbyone> it works
[01:17] <bazhang> kazagistar, obviously skipping the step of installing kubuntu-desktop
[01:18] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: Did you see the question about install devices? Did you change that setting?
[01:18] <Tetracomm> Do any of you know how to turn off a USB port at the command prompt in Ubuntu? Or any of the other ports? I just want a way to use the computer to switch things on and off.
[01:18] <LED1> off topic buc can i make xchat proxy/
[01:18] <grubbyone> yeah, just removed sda and added sdf
[01:18] <bazhang> LED1, try #xchat
[01:18] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: OK, that should work then.
[01:18] <grubbyone> it's a problem, every time I install, it always puts grub on the wrong drive
[01:18] <Graenis> Well guess i'll go look fer another chat! eheh.
[01:18] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know a very simple way to (via command line) turn a port on or off in Ubuntu? I want to turn off the power coming from it.
[01:18] <Jordan_U> grubbyone: (as long as your BIOS is set to boot from sdf). Feel free to reboot.
[01:18] <bazhang> Tetracomm, why would you want or need to do that
[01:19] <kazagistar> it is still super frustrating that my favorite distro is the only one that just randomly crashes when I try to do a minimal install on my netbook
[01:20] <bazhang> kazagistar, you get the link I posted?
[01:20] <kazagistar> I ended up using debian for a while before growing too frustrated with it, because at least it installed
[01:20] <_godhelpme> how do i make it so when I put a file in a folder that it uses the parent permissions
[01:20] <LED1> kazagistar:  Why?
[01:21] <fishscene> Does anyone remember the package that allows a system administrator to customize the desktop environment for new users who log on?
[01:21] <Culiforge> zykotick9: ok, giving it a go.. I'll be back when there's smoke coming out of my ears..
[01:21] <mouls|> Hi
[01:21] <fishscene> For example, I can change the desktop background, create launchers, etc... and when a brand new user logs in, everything is set up for them.
[01:22] <zykotick9> _godhelpme: gnu/linux is not microsoft, permissions are different.  New files/folders are determined by umask.
[01:22] <Tetracomm> bazhang: To turn an electric circuit on or off.
[01:22] <kazagistar> LED1: I struggled for many hours trying to get my sound to work, get various firmware working, etc, and did not succeed
[01:22] <LED1> I hated unity at first but it grows on you doesnt it
[01:22] <artichoku> howdie howdie! how's it hangin'?
[01:22] <_godhelpme> !umask
[01:22] <bazhang> artichoku, ubuntu support issue?
[01:22] <artichoku> LED1: you should turn on the activities thing, it's like a completely different OS
[01:23] <bazhang> Tetracomm, yes, but whatever for
[01:23] <LED1> kaz youll figure it out eventually but, i can understand the frustration.
[01:23] <bazhang> artichoku, what activities thing
[01:23] <zykotick9> _godhelpme: there is "man umask" if you want some details.
[01:23] <artichoku> i don't know exactly, i was messing with compiz settings and everything disappeared
[01:24] <artichoku> then i had one single bar at the top with an activities button
[01:24] <Ravior> someone knows how can you decrypt a GPG message
[01:24] <artichoku> and it's really badass
[01:24] <Ravior> for that launchpad link
[01:24] <bazhang> artichoku, completely blank desktop? no icons, nothing to click on etc?
[01:24] <artichoku> nope, just the top bar and an activities button
[01:24] <artichoku> and when you click on it, it shows open windows, and you can click on applications and it shows all your programs
[01:24] <bazhang> artichoku, this is using unity-3d?
[01:24] <artichoku> yuppers
[01:25] <artichoku> i have no idea how it appeared
[01:25] <artichoku> like i said i was messing with compiz
[01:25] <terios> hi
[01:25] <terios> hi
[01:25] <artichoku> i can log into my ubuntu partition and tell you the setting i have if you want
[01:25] <terios>  girl here
[01:25] <artichoku> but i love it
[01:25] <andy2587> Facing Intel Graphics issue on Latitude E6410, Ubuntu 11.10 - booting into black screen, workaround with grub parameter nomodeset is fine but throws me back to Vesa. Read so many threads and possible solutions, but nothing helps...please can anyone help ?
[01:25] <bazhang> terios, wrong network
[01:25] <terios> girl chat with me pls
[01:26] <bazhang> terios, no, stop asking
[01:26] <pangolin> terios: this is an Ubuntu support channel, not a dating service
[01:26] <terios> where ?
[01:26] <fishscene> terios: This is a support channel for Ubuntu. Please read the guidelines for this channel.
[01:26] <artichoku> terios is a 13 year old boy
[01:26] <bazhang> terios, NOT this network
[01:26] <pangolin> artichoku: no need for silly comments
[01:26] <terios> thanks
[01:26] <vbb> spaghetti!
[01:26] <artichoku> bazhang: i'm gonna reboot to ubuntu and tell you the settings
[01:26] <artichoku> brb
[01:26] <artichoku> pizza!
[01:27] <terios> thanks   very   much
[01:27] <terios> bye
[01:27] <terios> bye
[01:27] <_godhelpme> zykotick9: if I went umask 770 would that set the dir to use that mask
[01:28] <LED1> i think bunt is going in the right direction with unity although i hated it at first
[01:29] <vbb> hey you guys i need technical help here
[01:30] <MarcoAcheron> Which do you guys prefer: Tor or Cocoon?
[01:30] <vbb> i dont see foonetic.net on the irc list in gnome irc
[01:30] <vbb> how do i add it?
[01:30] <appleguru> how can I setup a PPTP vpn server on ubuntu that passes broadcast traffic both ways?
[01:30] <bazhang> vbb, what irc client
[01:31] <LED1> all bunt distros work rigt if you have the right hardware thats all im saying, sometimes you just need an upgrade.
[01:31] <vbb> im using xchat-GNOME
[01:31] <bazhang> LED1, ok. please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks
[01:31] <zykotick9> _godhelpme: umask applies to all created files/folders.  It's a subtraction from full permission so a umask of 770 would be no permission for user/group and full permission for Other (probably NOT what you want)
[01:32] <Culiforge> zykotick9: no joy with the boot param
[01:32] <LED1> i' just listening and throwing out random coments when i get bord i'm trying to learn and contribute here
[01:32] <Tellmarch> uh, i wanted to backup my home directory with scp -R, and it copied and copied and copied... going through links and copying the same data again and again -_-
[01:33] <zykotick9> Culiforge: sorry, i don't have any other suggestions.  (did you say "after upgrade" this started?)
[01:33] <Tellmarch> what's a good way to backup the whole home (with . folders) and only once ?
[01:33] <artichoku> ok back
[01:33] <bazhang> LED1, this is not the channel for that. please dont
[01:33] <vbb> nvm im reading the readme
[01:33] <artichoku> uploading some SS for you now bazhang
[01:33] <LED1> so whats the topic?
[01:33] <bazhang> Tellmarch, clone? like clonezilla?
[01:34] <Culiforge> zykotick9: no, installed geforce pcie card then reboot then dead system.. :(
[01:34] <artichoku> bazhang: http://imageshack.us/g/37/screenshotat20120202202.png/
[01:34] <bazhang> LED1, UBUNTU support. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic Please
[01:34] <Tellmarch> bazhang, i just want a command line to copy the whole home folder through ssh
[01:34] <artichoku> given, i added awn
[01:35] <bazhang> Tellmarch, rsync?
[01:35] <Tellmarch> well, will it do the same thing as scp?
[01:35] <Tellmarch> i copied about 50 GB of data to backup my 5GB home folder -_-
[01:35] <Tellmarch> before noticing it was copying in loops
[01:36] <zykotick9> Tellmarch: scp -r ?
[01:36] <Tellmarch> yes
[01:36] <Tellmarch> that's what i did
[01:36] <Bsims> Tellmarch: rsync is mostly the same thing, but if you are gonna do it more than once rsync is the way to go
[01:36] <Tellmarch> but my problem is that scp -r didn't work well at all
[01:37] <Tellmarch> copying 10 times the same data
[01:37] <Tellmarch> well, i'll look into rsync, thanks
[01:38] <artichoku> bazhang: did you look?
[01:39] <Culiforge> zykotick9: wait wait.. I didn't follow directions.. bbiab with report
[01:39] <bazhang> artichoku, yes, the bar on th e right is set to hide?
[01:40] <appleguru> brb
[01:40] <artichoku> it's not there at all
[01:40] <artichoku> it doesn't pop up if i move my mouse up there
[01:40] <artichoku> it's just gone
[01:40] <artichoku> but i really like whatever it was i did
[01:41] <bazhang> artichoku, what did you do? install awn then it went like that?
[01:41] <artichoku> i installed awn afterwards
[01:41] <artichoku> i was just in compiz trying to set up my destop cube
[01:41] <bazhang> artichoku, same issues with unity-2d-panel installed?
[01:41] <artichoku> it asked me to enable some things and disable others
[01:41] <artichoku> and it just came out like this
[01:41] <MarcoAcheron> Hey guys trying to decide which is better for private browsing: Cocoon or Tor?
[01:42] <artichoku> like i said, i really like it
[01:42] <artichoku> i just don't know how exactly i did it
[01:42] <bazhang> MarcoAcheron, try ##security perhaps
[01:42] <bazhang> artichoku, sounds like ccsm and some conflicting settings
[01:42] <artichoku> yuppers
[01:42] <artichoku> i just wish i knew what i did so i could make the laptop look like that
[01:43] <Bsims> artichoku: copy comiz.conf if it exists to the other machine?
[01:43] <artichoku> ooo good idea
[01:44] <MarcoAcheron> Thanks baz
[01:44] <Bsims> I mean its got a settings/config somewhere in your home dir
[01:44] <artichoku> alright everyone, movie time with the wife
[01:44] <artichoku> i'll see you all later
[01:51] <bite> How do I change the boot order on a partitioned drive?
[01:52] <bite> windows boots first.
[01:52] <bite> And I need to invert the order.
[01:52] <histo> !grub2 | bite
[01:52] <bazhang> bite, in the grub menu?
[01:52] <histo> bite: you dont' have to invert the order just change the default boot option
[01:52] <bite> I can't get the grub menu. It boots straight to windows.
[01:52] <histo> bite: so grub doesn't show up at all?
[01:53] <bite> histo: It does not.
[01:53] <histo> bite: did you install windows after linux?
[01:53] <bite> histo: I did not.
[01:53] <histo> bite: has it ever booted to linux?
[01:54] <bite> histo: never. It's a fresh linux install
[01:54] <jgn> exit
[01:55] <histo> bite: you need to boot the install cd again and reinstall grub boot loader
[01:55] <bite> histo: strictly grub
[01:55] <bite> ?
[01:55] <yva> hi there, I'm trying to use ubuntu 11.10 backup but my external HD is fat32, isn't that a problem?
[01:55] <histo> bite: yes grub2
[01:55] <histo> bite: follow the first link that ubottu showed
[01:56] <bite> histo: will it install over the windows-written mbr?
[01:56] <histo> bite: well you have to install over the windows mbr to have a selection
[01:56] <bite> additionally, why would it not overwrite it the first time i installed it?
[01:56] <histo> bite: unless you are using wubi
[01:56] <bite> histo: I'm not.
[01:56] <histo> bite: if you didn't tell it to overwrite the mbr it won't do it.
[01:57] <histo> bite: that is when you were installing
[01:57] <user_> hi folks
[01:57] <yva> is there an admin here?
[01:57] <histo> yva: there is a ubuntu-ops channel
[01:57] <user_> does anyone know who to get silc on ubuntu 11.10?
[01:58] <Culiforge> zykotick9: bah, still no joy
[01:58] <user_> pidgin removed silc
[01:58] <user_> sux
[01:58] <randomDude> I'm using ubuntu 11.10, when i open inkscape and then use the text tool, i see four million billion trillion zillion (etc, etc for dramatic desparation empahsis), <random numbers>- subset of XYZ fontname. What are these "subsets" ? How do i remove these useless things?
[02:00] <kazagistar> when
[02:01] <usr> hello, is there software to develop android apps for ubuntu/
[02:02] <histo> usr: you can get the android sdk in linux
[02:02] <histo> usr: i've seen people use eclipse also
[02:03] <usr> histo, I am new so I want to learn how to develop android apps... Can I get the sdk from the software center?
[02:03] <somsip> usr: you can also use Netbeans. No sdk from Adnroid dev site
[02:03] <histo> usr: there are youtube videos on how to setup eclipse with the android sdk
[02:03] <bite> histo: i'm getting a weird readout from
[02:03] <histo> usr: google used to have a website you could develop apps through as well. but I think it closed at the end of 2011 and MIT is taking it over
[02:04] <bite> "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label", and gparted it reporting to me a very strange configuration
[02:04] <histo> bite: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[02:04] <somsip> usr: bad punctuation on my last reply. No you don't get SDK from software center, you get it from Android dev site
[02:04] <bite> histo: /sda6 and /sda5 are subcategorized under /sda4. I haven't a clue why
[02:04] <bite> histo: i think an imagebin would be a bit better
[02:04] <MK13> histo: shame... Appinventor was nice for testing
[02:05] <histo> usr: appinventor was the name of it. That was the easiest way.  Not sure if MIT has it live again
[02:05] <histo> bite: well 5 and 6 would be extended partitions
[02:06] <gadak> gcc: error: elf_i386: No such file or directory///////////////////NE1 Solution?
[02:06] <bite> histo: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=6578
[02:06] <bite> histo: is there a maximum to the amount of partititions permitted on a disk?
[02:06] <histo> bite: yeah that's fine. You have an extended container with two partitions in it
[02:07] <bite> histo: how can i force it to boot into linux first, then?
[02:07] <flowerpot> I notice that sshd has options like PasswordAuthentication in ssh_config that I can set to allow or deny password-based authentication.  However, I thought PAM could do this too?  I can't seem to find out how to tell sshd to use PAM...does sshd use it by default?
[02:07] <histo> bite: yeah 4 primary partitions
[02:08] <histo> bite: that's why you have to use extended areas to have more than 4
[02:08] <bite> histo: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=6579
[02:08] <aaronh5> can anyone help me with some bash
[02:08] <bite> histo: should i remove some partitions then to make ubuntu boot first?
[02:09] <bite> histo: i can probably merge data with the c:\ drive
[02:09] <histo> bite: no it has nothing to do with the way your disk is partitioned. It's just that windows is on the MBR and has no idea that ubuntu exists
[02:09] <bite> histo: what will force ubuntu toi boot first then?
[02:10] <histo> bite: If you install grub2 to the MBR of the drive
[02:10] <bite> histo: i can do that following that link then
[02:10] <histo> bite: grub will create a boot menu for you. You can select windows or ubuntu to boot first
[02:10] <histo> bite: yes
[02:10] <histo> !grub2 | bite
[02:11] <bite> histo: yeah. Very well then. I'll try it via terminal then.
[02:11] <histo> bite: specifically the restooregrub link
[02:11] <bite> histo: one issue, since they're extended, i can't follow that tutorial via command line
[02:11] <bite> histo: how do i install Boot-Repair then?
[02:12] <bite> histo: nevermind, it's an iso
[02:13] <bite> histo: nevermind, it's on a diffrerent repository
[02:13] <bite> histo: thanks for your help.
[02:15] <histo> bite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[02:15] <crash82> Hello, my terminator screen doesn' t show bash command line, can't understand why any ideas? Using gnome desktop
[02:15] <histo> bite: look at the that link
[02:16] <bite> histo: I've got it.
[02:17] <almoxarife> crash82: start terminator from the basic terminal, any errors shown?
[02:17] <histo> bite: you should be using grub2 if you have anything later than ubuntu 9.10
[02:18] <crash82> almoxarife, none
[02:19] <crash82> almoxarife, going to try to install terminator 0.96 (latest version) to see if the same happens
[02:19] <possible1994> My memory card reader worked perfectly for the first week with an SD card, and now it does not. I do not recall any system configuration changes that would affect this.
[02:19] <battle_warrior> Hii, i have a server box thats connected wirelessly to  my home network, when i tried to connect to it it says "connection refused" can i get help conecting to it
[02:20] <almoxarife> crash82: uninstall/purge terminator after removing the local conf folder, then re-install it
[02:20] <possible1994> What cli string should I use to display all USB peripherals detected?
[02:20] <flowerpot> I see lines beginning with @include in my pam.conf -- I understand include, but what's with the @?
[02:20] <franc> test
[02:21] <zykotick9> possible1994: lsusb
[02:21] <felipe_Brz> I run ubuntu 11.04. Can I make my apt-get install command point to the repositories of the newer Ubuntu versions so I can get newer software?
[02:21] <somsip> !test | franc
[02:21] <flowerpot> felipe_, you could, but i don't think you'd want to.  there would be compatibility problems, i believe
[02:22] <crash82> almoxarife, going to try
[02:22] <almoxarife> felipe_Brz: you will cause a distribution upgrade that may not work
[02:23] <felipe_Brz> flowerpot: hmm...so if I want to say, download a newer version of php than what's available in my repo, then I have to add a 3rd party PPA?
[02:24] <battle_warrior> i cannot connect to my server box via the local host due to "connection refused" is there anyway to go around it?
[02:24] <almoxarife> felipe_Brz: yes, or compile it, the ppa choice is the key, anyone can create a ppa
[02:24] <flowerpot> felipe_Brz, I mean you could try adding a repo for a version of ubuntu that isn't the one you have, but it seems like it'd be path to confusion and badness
[02:25] <crash82> almoxarife, did it... but did not work after leaving terminator this appears "<Window object at 0x27baa00 (terminatorlib+window+Window at 0x2842050)> is not in registered window list"
[02:27] <danes> I am trying to install eclipse from software center but it tells me to check my internet connection. I got this:  http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/openjdk-6-jdk_6b23~pre11-0ubuntu1.11.10_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[02:27] <StepNjump> hi guys, I am looking for a way to find apps that are written for CLI (or terminal).. For example, I am currently looking for a CRM app (Customer Relationship Manager) in which I could add my clients... I found some already but none of them are made for CLI, they are to be run in X... any ideas? Or am I too old style dynausaur?
[02:27] <danes> anyone know how can I fix it?
[02:27] <almoxarife> crash82: no idea what that is about
[02:28] <Roge152> Currently getting between 50-69KBPS from ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[02:28] <Roge152> Thats insanely slow.
[02:29] <Roge152> Given my connection is 75mbps
[02:29] <almoxarife> crash82: does terminator work?
[02:29] <mukaibot> StepNjump: You're an old dinosaur :)
[02:29] <mukaibot> StepNjump: How about a web based CRM system? There are lots of those, and most thin clients can surely run a web browser
[02:29] <qmanjr5> Is there a GUI option for Samba?
[02:29] <Roge152> I tried going into the software center to change repos, but it crash's everytime before it even loads.
[02:30] <almoxarife> Roge152: you dont need to use that server, choose another, if all of them are at the same low rate then blame your connection
[02:30] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: Yes
[02:30] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: for configuration or browsing?
[02:30] <trapecistak> Why does wget don't show the progress bar when run inside a bash script?
[02:30] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: configuration
[02:30] <Roge152> I doubt its my connection almoxarife, Im getting blazing speeds in windows
[02:30] <Roge152> Is there a list somewhere of repos almoxarife ?
[02:30] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: web based: SWAT, GUI based: gadmin
[02:31] <urlin2u> Roge152, the repo change is also in software sources, not sure if you need synaptic installed to access, probably not.
[02:31] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: do I just install those via apt-get?
[02:31] <battle_warrior> im trying to conect to my local host via putty .... but whenever i try it keeps saying connection refused the server box is ubuntu... im trying to connect to it via windows can i plz get some help
[02:31] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: apt-get install gadmin-samba
[02:31] <Roge152> Yeah, but the GUI tool keeps crashing urlin2u, so im looking for a list of the repo urls's so I can go in and change them manually.
[02:31] <almoxarife> Roge152: there is, part of the install app, 'sources' perhaps?
[02:31] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: I think it's easier to configure via the command line if you just want to share a folder.
[02:32] <urlin2u> Roge152, have you gried softare sorces from the search?
[02:32] <urlin2u> tried*
[02:32] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: well I tried. :P I got lost
[02:32] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: what seems to trip many people up is they forget the need to run smbpasswd
[02:32] <urlin2u> software sources Roge152
[02:32] <Roge152> well, there is the software centre, but it keeps crashing.
[02:32] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: what specifically is the issue you're having with your samba configuration?
[02:32] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: If I messaged you, could you help me set it up? I'm not sure what a few of these options should be
[02:32] <postrye> anybody want to help me make up my mind?   I am in the market for a laptop... should I buy a new dell, a system76, or find a used one.  All I need is a machine that can do some light web development and browsing.
[02:33] <urlin2u> Roge152, there is also one I name type it into the dash sarch.
[02:33] <urlin2u> search
[02:33] <battle_warrior> sorry for leaving somethng closed my irc, could i get help to my question i had earlier
[02:33] <crash82> almoxarife, it opens the windows just doesn't show the prompt
[02:33] <Roge152> I don't seem to have it urlin2u
[02:33] <bazhang> postrye, thats out of scope for this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware please
[02:33] <postrye> right on, thank you
[02:34] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: The main one is the host name I should be using.
[02:34] <qmanjr5> and whether or not I should change the "allowed hosts and networks" "handles connection on" etc
[02:34] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: is this for a home environment?
[02:34] <qmanjr5> yes
[02:35] <urlin2u> Roge152, I had synaptic crashing in oneric I found a fix for it what is your release your running?
[02:35] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: in that case I wouldn't really bother about restricting via networks and hosts, because you probably only have a single subnet
[02:35] <qmanjr5> Right.
[02:35] <Roge152> 11.10 (non updated yet)
[02:35] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: you need to useradd each account you want, and then give them an smbpasswd
[02:35] <urlin2u> Roge152, hold on
[02:36] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: man useradd and man smbpasswd :)
[02:36] <qmanjr5> Huh
[02:36] <Roge152> k
[02:36] <qmanjr5> Kay
[02:36] <qmanjr5> Can't i just login via the user I'm using on my Ubuntu box?
[02:36] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: how many machines do you have? how many user accounts?
[02:36] <battle_warrior> im realy not trying to be annoying, but it seems people are totally ignoring my question and yet answering others,  Once again i ask can someone help me find a solution for me to connect to my server box via local host, whenever i try to connect to it using putty it says connection refused... its ubuntu 10.4 im trying to connect to it via windows 7
[02:36] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: yes, you can do that too
[02:36] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: I have 2 other Windows boxes.
[02:36] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: make sure you smbpasswd your user account then
[02:36] <qmanjr5> Alright
[02:37] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: Can you see the shares from your Windows machines?
[02:37] <qmanjr5> No, not yet.
[02:37] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: assuming you want go access files on your Ubuntu machine from Windows right?
[02:37] <StepNjump> Is there a listing somewhere on the internet for most of all applications that run under CLI (or terminal) somewhere? I don't like the apps running under X much
[02:37] <qmanjr5> Yes, that's what I want to do.
[02:38] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: ok cool. Good news is it's pretty straight forward.
[02:38] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: step 1 - edit smb.conf so that it has your shares
[02:38] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: step 2 - set up your user/s with smbpasswd
[02:38] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: I'm using gadmin. =3
[02:39] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: you'll still need each user to have a valid smbpasswd
[02:39] <qmanjr5> I just finished what I'm sharing
[02:39] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: not sure if gadmin helps you with that
[02:39] <qmanjr5> Can't I set that in gadmin too?
[02:39] <qmanjr5> I think it does
[02:39] <mukaibot> yeah, give it a shot
[02:39] <jhon> hi salut
[02:39] <qmanjr5> Alright, that part is done.
[02:39] <qmanjr5> What now?
[02:40] <jhon> french
[02:40] <jhon> no french in room
[02:40] <mukaibot> can you see the shares from your Windows machine? And get access denied / logon box?
[02:40] <qmanjr5> Hold on, I'll go check. They're in a different room. :P
[02:40] <qmanjr5> Where would they be under, "Network"?
[02:40] <mukaibot> try rdesktop
[02:40] <qmanjr5> Hmm?
[02:40] <mukaibot> that will give you RDP access to your Windows machines
[02:41] <qmanjr5> Oh
[02:41] <jhon> bon je quitte
[02:41] <mukaibot> unless they run homeless editions
[02:41] <bazhang> jhon, #ubuntu-fr
[02:41] <ouyes> what do you think about ubuntu 11.10
[02:41] <bazhang> ouyes, its the latest release
[02:41] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: what options do I use for rdesktop?
[02:41] <qmanjr5> I've never used it before.
[02:41] <mukaibot> ah, never mind then
[02:42] <mukaibot> figure it out for next time :)
[02:42] <jhon> thanks bazhang
[02:42] <qmanjr5> :P Alright
[02:42] <ouyes> bazhang, I know man, I mean do you like it
[02:42] <qmanjr5> I'll be right back then, gunna check the Windows machine
[02:42] <mukaibot> it will be faster to go to the other room :)
[02:42] <kazagistar> oy, how do I know if ubuntu installation has frozen? it has been "configuring target system" at the same spot in the progress bar for half an hour or so now
[02:42] <bazhang> ouyes, sure; did you have a support question? chat is for #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:42] <mukaibot> kazagistar: do you have a shell?
[02:43] <kazagistar> mukaibot: ctrl+alt+f1 and I am there
[02:43] <flowerpot> I just ran sudo service sshd and got sshd: unrecognized service.  But sshd is running!  How do I perform operations like start/stop with upstart if not via service?
[02:43] <bazhang> kazagistar, installing the full ubuntu-desktop suite? something else
[02:43] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: It says I don't have access.
[02:43] <qmanjr5> But the Ubuntu box is listed.
[02:44] <kazagistar> bazhang: newest 64 bit unity ubuntu, through the basic graphical installer
[02:44] <StepNjump> what is a good free crm here on ubuntu
[02:44] <bazhang> kazagistar, I'd give it a bit more time
[02:44] <bazhang> StepNjump, free crm? such as?
[02:45] <kazagistar> bazhang: when I tried to use the minimal installer earlier it froze while trying to establish a network connection, so I decided to try this way instead
[02:45] <bazhang> kazagistar, the live cd? the alternate cd?
[02:45] <qmanjr5> mukaibot?
[02:46] <kazagistar> bazhang: livecd, dd'ed to an external
[02:46] <bazhang> StepNjump, care to give an example?
[02:47] <ouyes> bazhang, that is a support question, thing is I do not know if 11.10 is better than my 10.04, and what features does 11.10 have
[02:47] <bazhang> !notes | ouyes
[02:47] <bazhang> ouyes, better is subjective, please dont poll here
[02:47] <bazhang> !poll > ouyes
[02:47] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: yeah, now on the Ubuntu box, smbpasswd for your user
[02:48] <qmanjr5> I wasn't given a login box though
[02:48] <qmanjr5> Just a not allowed.
[02:48] <mukaibot> kazagistar: does "top" show you anything useful? That the process is still running?
[02:48] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: you'll need to allow Listing
[02:48] <mukaibot> err
[02:48] <qmanjr5> Now, this would be so much easier if I knew what that meant
[02:48] <mukaibot> browsing
[02:49] <qmanjr5> That too.
[02:49] <mukaibot> so in /etc/samba/smb.conf you need to add Browsable = yes
[02:49] <mukaibot> not sure how you do that in the gadmin tool
[02:49] <qmanjr5> It ahs a Tab for it :D
[02:49] <kazagistar> mukaibot: the process is ubiquity, right?
[02:50] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: There are a bunch of shares, right. And most of them have Browseable=yes
[02:51] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: go to the one you want, and set browsable = yes
[02:52] <qmanjr5> They already are.
[02:52] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: ok good
[02:52] <mukaibot> kazagistar: that does sound correct
[02:52] <qmanjr5> so why is it still not showing on my Windows machines?
[02:53] <mukaibot> is it showing up on your machines, or giving you access denied?
[02:53] <qmanjr5> Access denied
[02:53] <qmanjr5> but no login form
[02:54] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: try restarting smbd (just to make sure gadmin applied the changes)
[02:54] <mukaibot> qmanjr5: can you post your smb.conf somewhere?
[02:54] <qmanjr5> SUre. If you tell me how to restart smbd
[02:55] <mukaibot> sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart
[02:56] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: Reset. Shall I go check it?
[02:56] <mukaibot> sure
[02:57] <kazagistar> dunno, at this point, I have been at the same place on the progress bar for much much longer then it usually takes to install the whole OS... should I just try again or something?
[02:58] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: same thing.
[02:58] <qmanjr5> Rather
[02:58] <qmanjr5> It said that it couldn't find the path
[02:58] <qmanjr5> or something to that affect
[02:58] <mukaibot> try entering the IP address of your Ubuntu box then. Sounds like you don't have DNS working..
[02:58] <rallias> is there any sort of guide on how to write a simple DE with the likes of openbox?
[02:58] <mukaibot> rallias: you're kidding right?
[02:59] <rallias> mukaibot: absolutely not, I want a computer like the one in Person of Interest
[02:59] <mukaibot> rallias: don't go saying that in #openbox!
[02:59] <mukaibot> rallias: can you program in C++?
[02:59] <rallias> Yeah
[02:59] <mukaibot> kazagistar: try having a look at /var/log/syslog.1
[02:59] <mukaibot> kazagistar: try having a look at /var/log/syslog
[03:00] <mukaibot> rallias: I haven't seen Person of Interest, but maybe you can theme OpenBox?
[03:00] <rallias> mukaibot is there a guide on how to do that?
[03:00] <mukaibot> rallias: otherwise, have a look at the OpenBox code (it *is* open source you know ;)
[03:00] <rallias> the problem with looking at the code is my programming is write only
[03:00] <mukaibot> rallias: I don't know, but Google probably does
[03:01] <kaushal> Hi
[03:01] <kaushal> is there a way to split nautilus into two vertical panes
[03:01] <kaushal> just to copy from one window to another window
[03:02] <Toph2> kaushal,,, F3
[03:03] <kaushal> Toph2: and another 3 pane ?
[03:03] <kaushal> is that possible ?
[03:03] <Toph2> kaushal,,, i'm not sure about that
[03:03] <kaushal> Toph2: thanks
[03:03] <Toph2> np
[03:05] <kazagistar> mukaibot: only thing that looks interesting is an ubiquity message "/usr/bin/casper-reconfigure: package 'gnome-panel-data' is not installed" occured, and then nothing until some messages about changing framebuffers to the terminal an hour later (nowish)
[03:05] <qmanjr5> mukaibot: Whenever I enter my computer's IP, it brings me to my website. I have an apache server set up as well. Would that affect it?
[03:07] <frybye> hi - how do I setup indicator-weather properly - to autostart with the pc etc..?
[03:08] <qmanjr5> mukaibot? (sorry for being so impatient, someone is waiting fo rthie computer :P)
[03:09] <brad87> there are too many NIGGERS in here
[03:09] <qmanjr5> Whoa.
[03:09] <brad87> dont i get banned for saying that?
[03:09] <qmanjr5> Apparently not, though you should.
[03:09] <brad87> i know, right
[03:10] <bobb> SO OFFENSIVE
[03:10] <nils_> maybe you were using it as a term of endearment?
[03:10] <brad87> im not even racist
[03:10] <bobb> duh
[03:10] <kazagistar> !offtopic
[03:10] <brad87> i just want to be banned
[03:10] <frybye> anybody got some info on setting up the indicator-weather?
[03:11] <brad87> yes, go into your indicator-weather control panel, and hit the set-up tab
[03:11] <appleguru> how can I set up a PPTP VPN server on ubuntu that passes broadcast traffic both ways?
[03:12] <brad87> goto the PPTP VPN control panel, and click the checkbox that says "send both ways"
[03:12] <frybye> brad87: my problem ist to get the indicator-weather thing to auto-start with the pc -
[03:13] <brad87> thr this command: indicator-weather --startwithpc
[03:13] <bite> sudo apt-get unstinstall or sudo apt-get remove?
[03:13] <brad87> both
[03:13] <osmosis> whats the cmd to reconfigure a package?
[03:13] <brad87> dpkg --reconfigure
[03:14] <bite> brad87: which does what when?
[03:14] <brad87> they both do the same
[03:14] <auk> Why does it seem as though after a while of using Ubuntu, all my icons and graphics seems to "Degrade"?
[03:14] <frybye> brad87: thanks - one happy Nigg*
[03:15] <auk> Well, I'm actually on Linuxmint,      BUT in the past of using Ubuntu, this happens.
[03:15] <brad87> because ubuntu has an expiry date, it slowly sours, just like milk and yogurt
[03:15] <bite> brad87: they're absolutely identical?
[03:15] <auk> !language | Frybye
[03:15] <brad87> yep, same as apples and oranges
[03:15] <nivyaj> what's a mail program similar to outlook for ubuntu?
[03:15] <bite> brad87: how would i remove packages assoicated, the dependencies?
[03:16] <brad87> format and clean-install
[03:16] <auk> I've never really cared all too much about this since I was using an old machine and decided to stop using gnome all together.
[03:16] <mukaibot> nivyaj: why would you want anything like Outlook?!?!!?!?
[03:16] <xangua> nivyaj: thunderbird is the default mail client now
[03:16] <zykotick9> nivyaj: thunderbird from mozilla, or evolution for gnome
[03:16] <nivyaj> mukaibot:  I LOVE OUTLOOK
[03:16] <mukaibot> nivyaj: Evolution is more like Outlook
[03:16] <auk> Now that I'm using an all exciting new computer. THIS MATTERS to me now.        I'm so sad my icons downgrades. :S
[03:16] <brad87> if you want outlook, pirate xp and use outlook
[03:16] <nivyaj> Ok, thanks guys
[03:17] <mukaibot> nivyaj: good luck!
[03:17] <brad87> keep your linux partition in a fridge when not in use, this will keep it looking better, longer
[03:18] <pangolin> brad87: Clearly you are trying to elicit some sort of reaction from the ops.  I bet it's that same frybye fool I don't like.
[03:19] <wenxiang> d
[03:19] <wenxiang>
[03:19] <wenxiang>
[03:19] <wenxiang>
[03:19] <wenxiang>
[03:19] <FloodBot1> wenxiang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:20] <auk> nivyaj: Wait, what email service you're using? Hotmail would make you pay to login to use an email client. (I never tested with Outlook, but I can only assume).
[03:20] <mukaibot> auk: Hotmail is free
[03:20] <mukaibot> auk: you can use ActiveSync with it :D
[03:20] <bobb> Hello everyone, I'm having trouble installing a .iso file onto a usb flashdrive. I'm using the livecd's included software: Make Startup Disk. Right now, it will install Ubuntu 11.10i386, so I want to change it to Fedora. So I downloaded a Fedora livecd .iso, pressed the "Other..." button, selected a Fedora .iso, and confirm. But, it still is going to install Ubuntu, and not not Fedora. What do I do?
[03:20] <mukaibot> auk: just like Gmail
[03:20] <auk> Thunderbird for Email is really nice. Check it out in Ubuntu's Software manager.            OR run this command: sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[03:21] <auk> mukaibot: I know to use hotmail is free. But it's not free to use inside thunderbird.
[03:21] <bobb> Not to sound like a traitor
[03:21] <mukaibot> auk: sure it is
[03:21] <auk> Well, then thunderbird is something you're lookiing for then. If you can do that for free.
[03:21] <xangua> bobb: that tool is only for ubuntu, use unetbootin instead
[03:22] <selite> I have an unrelated problem, however any help is appreciated. My sony vaio charger makes a strange noise and it won't charge my laptop. Is it dead?
[03:22] <xangua> auk: hotmail supports free pop since two years ago
[03:22] <Yourname`> Hello. Does anyone have knowledge of AWstats and Webmin on Ubuntu? I get this error: The logfile analysis command /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl was not found on your system. Maybe AWStats is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect - after installing awstats by webmin.
[03:23] <bobb> xangu: I'll try it out
[03:23] <auk> xangua: Ewww, I hate pop.            imap > pop...
[03:23] <mukaibot> selite: yeah, sounds like it is dead
[03:23] <zykotick9> !webmin | Yourname`
[03:23] <selite> mukaibot: Thank you.
[03:23] <auk> Pfft, free POP is M$'s excuse to free up some diskspace on their mail server in some way.
[03:24] <Yourname`> zykotick9: Thanks
[03:24] <auk> I'm sure of it.
[03:24] <auk> Or at least think that's it.
[03:24] <mukaibot> selite: Don't try to repair it! They are dangerous!
[03:24] <fellayaboy> Whats the difference between vpn and ssh
[03:24] <selite> mukaibot: No, I just wanted to make sure.  It doesn't run on real hardware, it's all in the cloud, dude.
[03:24] <mukaibot> selite: ok good!
[03:24] <xangua> auk: they keep copy of your emal if you set it on the preferences
[03:24] <fellayaboy> I use ssh alot but never used vpn
[03:25] <whoever> Yourname`: what are the permissons on that log file maybe those arn wrong
[03:25] <auk> xangua: Hmm, I've neevr seen such an option before, I'll look into that. Thanks.
[03:25] <bite> How do i install java on linux?
[03:25] <xangua> that option is by default also auk
[03:25] <bite> ubuntu, to be specific.
[03:25] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: VPN connects you to a network (ie, you get an IP on that network), ssh is just a one-to-one connection between two devices. Both are encrypted
[03:25] <Yourname`> whoever: What log file?
[03:25] <auk> bite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java             <---- There you go.
[03:25] <bite> thanks auk
[03:26] <bite> but do i need the jdk or jre?
[03:26] <xangua> bite: you can install openjdk from repositories, i don¿t know if java is still on ubuntu repos; you can also download it from java.com and install it manually
[03:26] <auk> bite: JRE.  Java runtime.                  JDK = Java Development Kit.
[03:26] <fellayaboy> Ooh so with vpn i get an ip address from that network so wgen i browse the internet im using that public.ip address...the remotes..?
[03:26] <bite> auk: JRE it is then.
[03:26] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: it depends how your routing is set up
[03:27] <fellayaboy> Hmm
[03:27] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: typically no
[03:27] <auk> xangua: You suggested JDK because it would come with both?
[03:27] <fellayaboy> Hmm
[03:27] <auk> Most dev stuff seems to come with both anyway.
[03:27] <fellayaboy> Still so confused
[03:27] <nils_> fellayaboy: that depends on how you set it up. I have a vpn with a remote location so I can access that private network, still use my regular ISP to go online but I could also use a gateway on that network
[03:27] <whoever> Yourname`: /var/log/
[03:27] <xangua> auk: i suggested OpenJDK
[03:27] <Yourname`> whoever: What does the log file have to do with awstats?
[03:27] <bite> auk: JDK is strictly for development, yes?
[03:27] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: if your goal is to change your IP address for websites, a proxy is probably a better choice
[03:27] <Yourname`> whoever: Because when I installed it via webmin, I don't see awstats.pl installed at all :S
[03:28] <fellayaboy> I see
[03:28] <auk> fellayaboy: VNC is just some fancy cool remote desktop thingy (An alternative since RDP for window-ish systems sucks).
[03:28] <auk> bite: And for people interested in creating java programs.
[03:28] <mukaibot> auk: I don't think we're talking about VNC
[03:29] <auk> OH VPN.
[03:29] <whoever> Yourname`: well i ausmed it was all there try to install the mod manually, honestly I haven't used webmin in years
[03:29] <auk> Ah, gotcha.
[03:29] <mukaibot> auk: :)
[03:29] <bite> auk: very well then, thanks.
[03:29] <fellayaboy> So with a vpn.its like connecting to the shared folders
[03:29] <mukaibot> not quite
[03:29] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: there are several types of VPNs
[03:29] <whoever> Yourname`: maybe you need to just install the modual again
[03:29] <Yourname`> whoever: Thanks. I installed it via webmin first, then did an apt-get and that's when I saw awstats.pl, but even when I put the path to awstats.pl in the webmin module config, it still doesn't show..
[03:29] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: but they all do the same thing; connect you to a network
[03:29] <fellayaboy> Its like ita physically connected to tje network where i can access the resources such as shared folders
[03:29] <auk> Doesn't VPN feature already exists in Ubuntu, to just set it up along with your normal wifi/wired internet configurations (GUI) or you're trying to like SSH VNC it?
[03:30] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: yes
[03:30] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: shared folders, printers, internal websites...etc
[03:30] <fellayaboy> Ohhhhhh
[03:30] <fellayaboy> I want total privacy while on the net....
[03:30] <mukaibot> fellayaboy: that's not possible :)
[03:30] <fellayaboy> I heard von ca
[03:31] <mukaibot> von ca?
[03:31] <needhelp23323> hello everyone , im having problem installing openssh-server on ubuntu netbook edition
[03:31] <whoever> Yourname`: is awstats depmecated, those mods don't allways work, when i used webmin few of the mods worked as described
[03:31] <nils_> fellayaboy: maybe you are looking for something like TOR?
[03:31] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: what's the issue?
[03:31] <fellayaboy> Sorry i heard can protect u..its better than tor i heard
[03:31] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827194/
[03:31] <Yourname`> whoever: Ah ok, I'm trying to find something like awstats for webmin. Do you recommend anything that works?
[03:31] <fellayaboy> Sites like the piratebay use a vpn i heard and if u browse to share files i should use a vpn i heard
[03:32] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: what have you done? LOL
[03:32] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: nothing
[03:32] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: lol...
[03:32] <auk> fellayaboy: VPN basiclly is this:                Point to point connection.        It will feel as though you're part of a network from another side of the world (REMOTE).       And you can share files between computers  as if you're reaally on the other side of the world.         Many people use VPN as a proxy server.
[03:32] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: can you paste /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:32] <whoever> Yourname`: personaly i think webmin is just another layer of crap when the modual can be implemented to almost any server
[03:32] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827207/
[03:32] <mukaibot> auk: VPN and Proxy are not the same
[03:33] <holstein> needhelp23323: what version is that? are the repos still up?.. i think the 10.10 ones are down..
[03:33] <pangolin> mukaibot: run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade , then try to install openssh again
[03:33] <whoever> Yourname`: does it hAve to be webmin
[03:33] <nils_> fellayaboy: well you could have a vpn into a network with some obscure foreign provider that doesn't give your details away, there are services for that. However that's beyond the scope of this channel.
[03:33] <needhelp23323> holstein: its 10.04
[03:33] <auk> mukaibot: Pretty much is in the way people uses it.     (As it achieves the same effect as if you wanted proxy).
[03:33] <Yourname`> whoever: Not really lol
[03:33] <fellayaboy> What channel can i go to to discuss that
[03:33] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: do what pangolin suggests
[03:34] <Yourname`> whoever: I have one default virtual host where all my domains point to as a parking page, wanna be able to see how many unique hits each domain name gets, etc.

[03:36] <needhelp23323> pangolin: doesnt work
[03:36] <bobb> xangu: Thank you, unetbootin worked great
[03:37] <holstein> needhelp23323: whats the exact error and way its not working?
[03:37] <Yourname`> whoever: Taking a look now, hold up (thanks btw)
[03:37] <needhelp23323> holstein: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827194/
[03:37] <whoever> Yourname`: the other thing  I came across is logiholic
[03:37] <holstein> needhelp23323: did you check that link i pasted? you can try fixing in synaptic as well
[03:37] <whoever> Yourname`: yw
[03:37] <acerimmer> ProGimp: deviant art?
[03:38] <auk> Haiiii ProGimp.
[03:38] <flowerpot> Is there an easy way to completely purge an installed program after you've installed it from source without using a package manager?
[03:38] <needhelp23323> holstein: what thats does
[03:38] <whoever> Yourname`: whats server are you runnin' apache, lightty?
[03:39] <auk> flowerpot: Source uninstall with 'make uninstall'.
[03:39] <ProGimp> Yeah I have search in Deviantart but I coudn't find one that are been using Ubuntu
[03:39] <flowerpot> auk, would you run that from the same directory where you run /.configure and make etc?
[03:39] <needhelp23323> holstein: sorry kinda new to linux , idk what it tells me to do
[03:39] <auk> flowerpot: Exactly.
[03:39] <holstein> needhelp23323: check it out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How_to_fix_broken_packages ... its in the menu "fix broken packages". it literaly cant hurt
[03:39] <flowerpot> auk, didn't know about that!  thanks.
[03:39] <auk> flowerpot: You're welcome :3
[03:40] <Yourname`> whoever: apache2. Oh, also, this awstats doesn't detect new domains coming in to it, does it? Because when I register domains, I point ns to it and they all go to default /var/www and that's when I want awstats to see that requests for newdomain.com are coming in and it needs to start putting it all together. Anything like that?
[03:40] <pangolin> holstein: i think the problem is that openssh-server is looking for an older version of a openssh-client than is available in the repo, looks like a bug report is needed.
[03:41] <holstein> maybe.. its working for my lucis servers though
[03:41] <holstein> lucid*
[03:41] <mukaibot> pangolin: holstein; reckon uninstalling openssh-client; apt-get install openssh-server would fix it?
[03:41] <acerimmer> ProGimp: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16 & http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=334 & http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335
[03:41] <pangolin> mukaibot: worth a shot
[03:41] <holstein> mukaibot: i was thinking that would be a good idea too
[03:41] <holstein> needhelp23323: ^^
[03:41] <macer1> hello :3 I have problems with hard drive at my dedicated server. smart => http://paste.ubuntu.com/827240/ - is it dead :/ ?
[03:41] <needhelp23323> holstein: wheres synpatic
[03:42] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: try this: sudo apt-get remove openssh-client ; sudo apt-get install open-sshserver
[03:42] <holstein> needhelp23323: its in the menu, but try ^^
[03:42] <mukaibot> shit,sorry, typo in that last bit
[03:42] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: try this: sudo apt-get remove openssh-client ; sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:42] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: k ill try
[03:42] <macer1> there are input/output errors everywhere
[03:43] <mukaibot> macer1: back up your data QUICKLY!
[03:43] <macer1> damn it :D
[03:43] <macer1> I rebooted to recovery and backuped
[03:43] <macer1> to external ftp
[03:43] <macer1> first running fsck
[03:43] <whoever> Yourname`: don't know i haven't used it in a while, i am currently  not useing any analizer, i just found another analazer http://www.jawstats.com/demo
[03:44] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: hahaha it WORKS !
[03:44] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: Yeah! Points to me!
[03:44] <Yourname`> whoever: Great, thanks!
[03:44] <flowerpot> auk, what if I'm installing a ruby program from source? e.g. rubygems.  it seems to be installed via a ruby script...
[03:44] <macer1> what now :D
[03:44] <pangolin> mukaibot: nice job. needhelp23323 glad you got it working.
[03:44] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: 100 points
[03:44] <mukaibot> lol - it's a team effort
[03:44] <mukaibot> glad you got it working
[03:44] <mukaibot> macer1: replace the disk
[03:44] <macer1> ymmm
[03:44] <needhelp23323> hm, so i dont really need the client :P ?
[03:44] <macer1> it is OVH job to do it :D
[03:45] <mukaibot> SMART is pretty useless. Once it detects an error, the drive is just about dead.
[03:45] <auk> flowerpot: Then you may have to refer to their:         ruby    (installer softwarename)     --help           or something similar that would give you an uninstall option.
[03:45] <ProGimp> hey anyone have tried installing Adobe Premiere in Ubuntu? I love to know before will install it
[03:45] <flowerpot> auk, i see.
[03:45] <auk> Or installer command  --help
[03:45] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: you do need the client, removing it allowed apt-get to install the correct version, along with the server
[03:45] <bazhang> ProGimp, check the appdb
[03:45] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: somehow the installer got confused.
[03:45] <bazhang> !appdb | ProGimp
[03:46] <bazhang> ProGimp, then /join #winehq
[03:46] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: this is the tutorial i need to setup the server ? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/setup-openssh-server-on-ubuntu-linux/
[03:46] <macer1> well the errors started when
[03:46] <macer1> I was deleting 1tb of old backups :3
[03:46] <whoever> Yourname`: what about phpadmin , is there some loging implimination in there that willl give the staes your Looking for
[03:47] <Yourname`> whoever: A few years ago, I remember using awstats with it lol
[03:47] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: you're probably good to go now
[03:47] <mukaibot> if you could apt-get install it, it should be running for you
[03:48] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: to test this, type: telnet localhost 22 - if you get a blank screen, it's working
[03:48] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: yeah.. as i said im new to linux how do i connect my ssh server from my other computer
[03:48] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: you'll need to configure your router / firewall if you want to access your computer externally
[03:48] <whoever> Yourname`: ya its just weird that what should woulk doesn't. is there a confg io in /etc or  one of the apache configs
[03:48] <mukaibot> is your other computer on the same network?
[03:48] <mukaibot> and what OS does it run?
[03:48] <pooky> if I log into my machine remotely
[03:49] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: it downloaded putty client to it
[03:49] <pooky> how can I enable a vpn connection configured in network manager?
[03:49] <macer1> Bug #550559
[03:49] <macer1> affects me *click*
[03:49] <whoever> Yourname`: checkout, this atleast talkS about the config http://maestric.com/doc/ubuntu/awstats
[03:50] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: ok, so you enter your Ubuntu IP address into Putty (unless you have DNS)
[03:50] <Yourname`> whoever: Ohh??? one sec!!
[03:50] <Yourname`> niceee
[03:50] <macer1> looks like a software problem...
[03:50] <whoever> Yourname`: what is it man ..
[03:50] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: it doesnt seems to work
[03:51] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: theres a firewall on ubuntu ?
[03:51] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: can you ping your Ubuntu computer?
[03:51] <osmosis> needhelp23323, all you have to do to setup an shh server is   sudo aptitude install openssh-server
[03:51] <mukaibot> osmosis: We've just done that :)
[03:51] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: i tried to ping it says request timed out
[03:51] <defrancisco2> hello
[03:52] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: ok, so this is the issue you'll need to resolve first
[03:52] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: are you pinging via IP address?
[03:52] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: yup
[03:52] <mukaibot> hmm, I didn't think there was a firewall on by default :|
[03:53] <xangua> mukaibot: it is not On by defaul
[03:53] <mukaibot> can you ping your Windows computer from Ubuntu?
[03:53] <macer1> any help with this?
[03:53] <DinoMuffin> ubuntu shouldn't brr blocking ICMP on a default install
[03:53] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: im connected to the internet from the ubuntu from the android wireless hotspot
[03:53] <mukaibot> needhelp23323: did you switch the firewall on?
[03:53] <DinoMuffin> be*
[03:53] <DinoMuffin> it's probably a network issue
[03:53] <mukaibot> xangua: Yeah, that's for confirming that
[03:53] <Yourname`> whoever: I think I'm gonna go with jawstats :)
[03:53] <mukaibot> xangua: * thank you for confirming that :)
[03:53] <whoever> Yourname`: less fuss no muss?
[03:53] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: can u message me with my nick at the first because im getting confused :P
[03:54] <Yourname`> whoever: Haha, it's awstats + web 2.0 = who can say no? :)
[03:54] <needhelp23323> mukaibot: idk how to switch the firewall on because im new to ubuntu
[03:55] <ubu_noob> Help I run "uname -m" in the terminal and i get i686 is this a 32bit or 64bit ubuntu os?
[03:55] <bakis> what's the binary for system settings?
[03:55] <pangolin> ubu_noob: 32bit
[03:55] <whoever> Yourname`: well thats a good reason  haha, awstats hasn't gotten there yet. and Ie never will
[03:55] <DinoMuffin> needhelp23323: what is your network topology? Specifically, where is your server connected in relation to your computer?
[03:55] <ubu_noob> pangolin: are 32bit ubuntu systems more stable than 64bit systems?
[03:56] <macer1> ubu_noob: no
[03:57] <DinoMuffin> wow, I'm getting some major lag on this server all the sudden
[03:57] <macer1> ubu_noob: if your hardware can run 64-bit os, it is always better to use 64-bit :P
[03:57] <auk> ubu_noob: Note, that does not tell you the TRUE architecture of your HARDWARE. Only the SOFTWARE (The kind of architecture of the Ubuntu/Linux system you are currently using).
[03:57] <bakis> by that i mean i'm trying to open system settings with dmenu... where can i find it?
[03:58] <macer1> another problem here
[03:58] <macer1> a lot of spam in logs
[03:58] <macer1> WTF is this?: ntop[3464]:   **WARNING** packet truncated (20338->8232)
[03:58] <macer1> a 100's of messages like that in /var/log/syslog
[03:58] <ubu_noob> Dang, Cause i have a 64bit windows 7 on my laptop and when i needed to install (dual boot) ubuntu i heard that the 32bit was more stable so thats the one i installed but i was hoping i messed up and installed the 64bit ubuntu which i kinda want know. but i dont want to have to reinstall everything
[04:00] <auk> macer1: That means that packet is not 100%.          You only got SOME OF IT.          TRUNCATED means you've reached some KIND of LIMIT,    and then it slices off anymore that would've exceeded such limit.
[04:00] <macer1> hmm
[04:00] <macer1> but why
[04:01] <auk> Example:        I can only make an 8 character password.     I used:     dreamcaster for a password.       BUT dreamcas      <------ Becomers the password.               TER     is TRUNCATED.
[04:01] <auk> So that's why it's a WARNING.
[04:01] <macer1> hmm
[04:02] <macer1> o.O
[04:02] <macer1> but why in server logs ;p
[04:03]  * macer1 going sleep
[04:03] <macer1> 05:03 am here...
[04:03] <macer1> :P
[04:05] <bakis> does anyone use i3 that can tell me how to access ubuntu's system settings?
[04:06] <jiffe1> does the lpi-199 exam even exist anymore ?
[04:06]  * macer1 is now AFK
[04:08] <goddard> do i need ipp?
[04:09] <Yourname`> whoever: Offbeat question, you know how it says root@w422-server:~# as my shell prompt. How can I change that hostname everywhere?
[04:10] <whoever> Yourname`: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html
[04:12] <zykotick9> !hostname | Yourname`
[04:12] <whoever> Yourname`: so it is done in .bashrc so i gave you a link to hopefully explaine it
[04:13] <Yourname`> Thanks zykotick9 and whoever
[04:15] <whoever> Yourname`: now if you just want to change your hostname  look at /etc/hostname
[04:16] <zykotick9> whoever: as ubottu mentions, it's REALLY important if you edit /etc/hostname to edit /etc/hosts at the same time!  sudo breaks if they don't match.
[04:18] <Yourname`> zykotick9: I first edited /etc/hosts and then modified /etc/hostname
[04:19] <zykotick9> Yourname`: i see the factoid gives an order, i've never had an issue with the order... so long as you got both ;)
[04:19] <motherbrain> I am looking into biometric stuff and am curious what is the proof that no 2 finger prints are the same or how did they know that finger prints are unique / 1 out of 64 billion people unique

[04:23] <urlin2u> hits*
[04:25] <motherbrain> well , I didn't know how they came up with the 64 billion number... maybe they are basing it on the fact The genetic code in DNA gives general orders on the way skin should form in a developing fetus,

[05:01] <kaen> so, dia (and handful of other programs) are displaying serious rendering glitches. specifically, dia doesn't show the diagram display area at all.
[05:02] <kaen> I figured it was a library error, so I set LD_DEBUG=libs and this is the output: http://pastebin.com/Nc0AkN67
[05:02] <kaen> of LD_DEBUG=libs dia 2>&1 | grep error
[05:03] <kaen> any idea what libs I should rebuild/reinstall or what other actions might solve these errors?
[05:03] <kaen> oh, and 11.10 x86_64
[05:06] <hex20dec> Hey everyone, I need some help. I by accident executed chmod -R 777 on my phpmyadmin folder and now I can't access it. How do I restore it to it's normal permissions?
[05:06] <Mixxit> after i install ubuntu text only what can i drop the ram to?
[05:06] <Mixxit> 64?
[05:07] <holstein> hex20dec: i would probably try to chown as root... sudo -s then work on it
[05:07] <holstein> Mixxit: i would leave as much as possible... depends on what you are doing if 64 or 128 will work for you
[05:08] <jwh1981> Mixxit: The lowest Ive been able to *run* Ubuntu/Debian at is 40MB
[05:08] <Mixxit> ok
[05:08] <Mixxit> i just want it for a very simple cronjob
[05:08] <webnet> hex20dec, ??? 777 should give ANYONE permission to do anything to it...
[05:09] <jwh1981> Mixxit: Id imagine 64 is perfectly fine, just make sure you give it 256MB+ of swap to be safe
[05:09] <Mixxit> okies
[05:09] <Mixxit> thanks!
[05:09] <hex20dec> Tell me about it.
[05:09] <hex20dec> And that is why I need to restore it.
[05:09] <hex20dec> So, how would I go about restoring it?
[05:10] <jwh1981> Mixxit: Welcome.
[05:10] <J7> I need help with my microphone. it works, but it's extremely quiet and I have the levels turned all the way up
[05:10] <hex20dec> "Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!"
[05:10] <hex20dec> This is the message my phpmyadmin is outputting.
[05:11] <webnet> ok so do sudo chmod 755
[05:11] <webnet> hex20dec,
[05:11] <webnet> that was for you
[05:12] <hex20dec> Yeah, thanks. But I'm just curious, is there a way to restore permissions to it's ealier point?
[05:12] <hex20dec> Because all of the files just changed to 777
[05:12] <Vexiant> J7, sudo pulseaudio --kill
[05:12] <Vexiant> rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound*
[05:12] <Vexiant> sudo rm /etc/asound.conf
[05:12] <hex20dec> Because of the recursive
[05:12] <Vexiant> in terminal
[05:12] <Vexiant> signout and then sign back in
[05:12] <webnet> did you use -R hex20dec ?
[05:12] <Vexiant> type: alsamixer         into terminal
[05:12] <hex20dec> Yes.
[05:12] <webnet> ok
[05:12] <hex20dec> webnet
[05:13] <webnet> so then chmod -R 755
[05:13] <webnet> those are default permissions right?
[05:13] <webnet> iirc
[05:13] <hex20dec> I sure do hope so.
[05:14] <hex20dec> And thanks.
[05:14] <webnet> hex20dec, yep see if it works dont thank me yet :P
[05:14] <hex20dec> Lol.
[05:14] <hex20dec> Yeah.
[05:14] <hex20dec> I'll let you know in a sec.
[05:14] <webnet> cool
[05:15] <hex20dec> Yup, you were correct.
[05:15] <J7> Vexiant, I typed the wrong password for sudo and now it won't let me do anything, how do I redo it?
[05:15] <hex20dec> 755 is the default.
[05:16] <Vexiant> Close terminal and reopen it
[05:16] <J7> I tried that
[05:16] <Vexiant> Can you output the error?
[05:17] <Vexiant> pastebin it or something if you can, J7
[05:17] <J7> Vexiant, E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/***** not ours.
[05:17] <J7> E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon: Permission denied
[05:18] <Vexiant> Log out and come back
[05:18] <J7> ok brb
[05:18] <Vexiant> Ok
[05:20] <Vexiant> Now don't type the wrong password this time, J7 :P
[05:21] <J7> yea yea
[05:21] <J7> still saying the same thing
[05:22] <CactusWiZaRd> damn it
[05:22] <J7> I'm sure I typed it in correctly
[05:22] <CactusWiZaRd> Ubuntu has changed A LOT
[05:22] <Vexiant> If your password isn't working, that's not my problem. Anyhow, you can figure that out later
[05:22] <Vexiant> so
[05:22] <Vexiant> just type alsamixer
[05:22] <Vexiant> into terminal
[05:22] <FloodBot1> Vexiant: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:22] <Vexiant> It shouldn't require sudo
[05:22] <J7> done, Vexiant
[05:23] <Vexiant> Did it work?
[05:23] <J7> yes
[05:23] <Vexiant> Alright, good luck with the password issue. I have no idea about passwords
[05:23] <J7> ok thanks
[05:24] <hex20dec> Vexiant let's roll.
[05:25] <Vexiant> Lets
[05:26] <mukaibot> Does any one have thoughts on OpenLDAP vs other LDAP servers?
[05:26] <djQuery> trying to install on my wifes gigabyt ga-ma790x-ud4p and the network card doesnt seem to be detected
[05:27] <djQuery> I know it used to work when booted off the CD but not anymore.
[05:27] <djQuery> says that the cable is disconnected
[05:27] <mukaibot> djQuery: do you have any 'eth' devices in "ifconfig -a"
[05:27] <lwq1996> ok guys i got a little puzzle, when i try to play songs on youtube with ubuntu its worse than trying to play them on windows 95
[05:28] <CactusWiZaRd> lwq1996: have u checked the sound card settings?
[05:28] <mukaibot> djQuery: do you have any 'eth' devices in "ifconfig -a"
[05:28] <djQuery> sorry
[05:28] <djQuery> mukaibot: sorry going between machines 2nd
[05:28] <lwq1996> not really, i read online that it might be plugins but i installed flash a while back
[05:29] <Syron> if the video actually loads then the plugin is detected, so that's probably not it as long as the plugin is fairly recent
[05:30] <CactusWiZaRd> lwq1996: I had the same issue with... Don't recall the version now, was like v.6 or something like that, and back then it was because of the soundcard
[05:30] <lwq1996> it works its just really choppy and glitchy
[05:30] <djQuery> mukaibot: yes I have a carth listed there
[05:30] <lwq1996> im running v 10 i think
[05:30] <mukaibot> djQuery: try replacing the cable then
[05:30] <mukaibot> djQuery: the network card is detected
[05:31] <mukaibot> I gtg, good luck!
[05:31] <CactusWiZaRd> lwq1996: i recommend checking the soundcard, and if there's nothing, just try to find the correct drivers
[05:32] <lwq1996> ive had it installed on this computer before a while back and didnt have any problem could it be that its a wubi install
[05:32] <CactusWiZaRd> lwq1996: naah, don't think so
[05:32] <CactusWiZaRd> but it's possible
[05:32] <lwq1996> how do i get to the soundcard from desktop
[05:32] <holstein> if the sound issues are isolated to youtube, i might explore flash/graphics drivers
[05:33] <CactusWiZaRd> hm, I think I'll change from mobile to wlan, brb ->
[05:33] <lwq1996> its not really traditional flash its using its like gnash or something like that
[05:34] <om4rezz> om4rezz:
[05:34] <om4rezz> om4rezz:
[05:34] <MestreLion> !thanks
[05:34] <holstein> lwq1996: that would be another great place to start... isolate the audio device and drivers by playing audio successfully in some other way, then move on to flash i say
[05:35] <lwq1996> ok will try, i may be back with more questions since im still a newb
[05:36] <omar> hello guys
[05:37] <omar> hellloooo
[05:37] <Syron> I don't want to put down gnash.. especially since I'm not familiar with it, but you can try adding the official flash plugin to %HOME/.mozilla/plugins to see if that speeds things up, assuming you're running firefox
[05:38] <Syron> just as an experiment.. if you're currently not using it
[05:38] <mohsinhijazee> if a package is available (say redmine) its better to do via apt-get or do a custom install? Pros and cons?
[05:39] <Syron> it is better, if it's available. It is proprietary, so I wasn't sure.
[05:39] <webnet> mohsinhijazee,  apt-get has pros in the fact that it is GUARUNTEED to be stable
[05:40] <mohsinhijazee> webnet: and what about the schema/data that would be already there in case of upgrades? Works smooth?
[05:40] <webnet> but, if you are looking for bleedeng edge features do a custom from a deb or build it
[05:40] <mohsinhijazee> webnet: I guess that would be handled by Rails migrations.
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[05:40] <motherbrain> if I wanted to start creating another programming language (i.e a compiler or interpreter) where should I start what programs/tools should I use and books should I read?
[05:40] <webnet> lotuspsychje, its nighttime where i am! :D
[05:41] <bigtom21485> anyone had issues with google music?
[05:41] <lotuspsychje> webnet: good evening for u :p
[05:41] <webnet> motherbrain, i contemplated the same, but decided against it because of the work involved....
[05:41] <djQuery> installing on a gigabyte ga-ma790x-ud4p and it says that the network cable is diconnected. I have checked the connections and they are all good but no lights on the nic
[05:41] <webnet> lotuspsychje, :D thanx!
[05:41] <goddard> motherbrain: any reason why you wanna do that?
[05:42] <bigtom21485> djQuery: ubuntu might now have drivers for your nix right out of the box
[05:42] <bigtom21485> djquery: *might not
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> motherbrain: you need a visual basic lookalike for ubuntu my guess?
[05:42] <djQuery> bigtom21485: it worked last wek from the same live cd
[05:42] <bigtom21485> djquery: have you tried reseating the card in your box?
[05:43] <djQuery> bigtom21485: it is builtin
[05:43] <motherbrain> ya, well I have read thru the dragon book on compiler design... was curious how one would go about creating a new langauage what tools / programs did people use to create the compilers for c/c++ or other major languages?
[05:43] <ejv> don't you think that's outside the scope of Ubuntu support, just a tad bit motherbrain? :)
[05:43] <bigtom21485> djquery: does your ubuntu know that the nic is there?
[05:44] <djQuery>  according to this is should work right away https://friendly.ubuntu.com/11.10/Gigabyte%20Technology%20Co.,%20Ltd./GA-MA790X-UD4P/A:BRvp:GsM:BEG:CUb:B9J/
[05:44] <djQuery> ejv: ifcongig - a lists it
[05:44] <ejv> pardon me?
[05:44] <Mixxit> hmm just finished installing text only but its just black when it boots
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> ejv: maybe he's looking for ubuntu packages
[05:45] <bigtom21485> djquery: i don't know. sorry :-(
[05:45] <bigtom21485> djquery: have you tried google music yet?
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> ejv: arent there packages to invent/programming?
[05:45] <ubu_noob> HELP! does anyone know if the computer bios are different or language specific? for example a computer with windows starter (spanish), or a windows 7 are the bios going to be the same?
[05:46] <soapee01_> djQuery if it's a the same livecd that worked last week, it's probably a h/w issue (since there's no way the s/w changed).
[05:46] <ejv> build-essential meta package comes to mind, perhaps start with that
[05:46] <goddard> how can i setup my printer deamon to services to only start when the printer is plugged in?
[05:46] <soapee01_> well, excluding bit rot and scratches. verify the cd
[05:47] <djQuery> yes it is, just booted out of XP where same card was working fine
[05:48] <djQuery> soapee01_: ^^^^
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> !info build-essential | Motherbrain
[05:49] <goddard> motherbrain: most the time that kind of stuff is taught in college but i am sure you could get all the info you need from straight web tutorials
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[05:50] <soapee01_> djQuery: <soapee01_> well, excluding bit rot and scratches. verify the cd
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> ejv: tnx for the name mate
[05:50] <djQuery> is there a method to determine what driver it is using?
[05:50] <CactusWiZaRd> hmm...
[05:50] <djQuery> installed now nolonger using the cd
[05:51] <osmosis> how do I fix  ureadahead-other  error on boot?
[05:51] <soapee01_> djQuery trying to think of an easier way than lsmod
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> djQuery; lspci and look for network
[05:52] <goddard> cds are old school
[05:52] <CactusWiZaRd> how can i disable touchpad, when i'm using usb-mouse?
[05:52] <soapee01_> djQuery that would be the easiest way, find the module (via google), and run `lsmod |grep -i moduleGoogleReturned`
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> lol
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> goddard: too bad many old boxes can't boot from usb yet :p
[05:53] <goddard> lotuspsychje: what :D hah
[05:53] <soapee01_> djQuery and see if it's there. if not modprobe it, and then you may be in for some /etc/udev/rules.d stuff (or /etc/modprobe)
[05:54] <urlin2u> CactusWiZaRd, on my netbook it is just fn-f7 key propmt, have you looked in the manual for information that make this a simple task, or on the web?
[05:54] <mcurran> Anybody else have mplayer freeze up if playing audio from say uTube and then swiching back to a file .mp3 in nautilus?
[05:54] <lotuspsychje> CactusWizard: maybe you can modify stuff in BIOS usb mouse to BIOS instead of Os
[05:56] <bigtom21485> soapee01_: why would google music not see my 3600 mp3's? it only sees 263 and only syncs 5.
[05:56] <urlin2u> CactusWiZaRd, this fn-f7 on my acer d250 works in windows and linux pretty cool really. :D
[05:57] <soapee01_> bigtom21485 why would you ask me directly? I don't use google music?
[05:57] <CactusWiZaRd> urlin2u: well, maybe it works with my acer t4830 too, then
[05:57] <bigtom21485> its really aggrivating no one seems to know.
[05:58] <damo22> anyone know how to force mdadm to add a previously failed disk to an array to recover the data?
[05:58] <damo22> http://pastebin.com/Q98Zrmui
[05:58] <urlin2u> CactusWiZaRd, that would be awesome eh, giver a try sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
[05:58] <CactusWiZaRd> urlin2u: thanks, it worked :D forgot that command
[05:58]  * soapee01_ sighes #ubuntu needs a bot with ~take-a-number like #freeswitch....
[05:58] <lotuspsychje> can a user recommend packages to ubuntu's official repos?
[05:58] <urlin2u> CactusWiZaRd, cool I like simple answers for my simple mind. :D
[05:59] <yitz_> Alright. I'm using grub 1.98-1ubuntu13. I installed Ubuntu onto a system, grabbed a disk image and deployed the image to a handful of boxes. On some, everything (well, GRUB-wise) worked fine. On other boxes, though, boot fails at GRUB. I'll ...
[05:59] <yitz_> ... either get no output of a half-screen of GRUB repeated over and over. Ubuntu LiveCD->Rescue->Reinstall GRUB on the disk fixes it... but /boot and the MBR don't change between the original image and the GRUB-reinstall version. What's changing? ...
[05:59] <yitz_> ... How do I get GRUB to drop in?
[05:59] <FloodBot1> yitz_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:00] <damo22> if i have a raid5 array made up of 5 disks, and only 3 are active, can i still recover the data?
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> !info extundelete | damo22
[06:00] <CactusWiZaRd> urlin2u: me too, it's been 3 years since I used Ubuntu last time, so... a bit lost
[06:00] <urlin2u> !grub > yitz_
[06:01] <lotuspsychje> !extundelete | damo22
[06:01] <rickrudedude> i have a laptop with the broadcom 4313 wireless chipset.  i want to boot into and install ubuntu, but once i do i will be without an internet connection.  can anybody tell me where to get the needed package so that i can put it on a cd key to install?
[06:01] <lotuspsychje> oops
[06:01] <zykotick9> !broadcom | rickrudedude
[06:02] <damo22> where can i get support on raid arrays?
[06:02] <urlin2u> yitz_, you may need to chroot in to the OS and run reload commands check that grub wiki about this.
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> rickrudedude: you could try to add cd to software centre and find the driver from there
[06:02] <buhman> http://sprunge.us/YfWY ; how do I tell apt-get that I want to not-remove lzma but do a dist-upgrade anyway?
[06:03] <yitz_> urlin2u: The curious thing is a LiveCD resuce boot with the installer fixxes things but I can't figure out what it changes
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> !raid | damo22
[06:03] <urlin2u> yitz_, chroot from a live ubuntu cd.
[06:04] <yitz_> urlin2u: Yes. I did that. It makes the machine bootable. But it doesn't help me out much; I'd like to make things work without having to boot a live cd after dumping in the image.
[06:04] <rickrudedude> hmm, is there a way to bake in the drivers into a bootable live usb drive?
[06:05] <rickrudedude> this a driver for the broadcom 4313
[06:05] <urlin2u> yitz_, a clone with clonezilla will work with the same partition probably, clonezilla saves the mbr, just sort of guessing through the limited info here.
[06:06] <wiggmpk> I have a pretty specific question, Is it possible to partition and install ubuntu on a software raid (striped raid) and install Windows 7 on 1 of the software partitions (I know this is about Windows, but it's hard to google something so specific and I need somewhere to start looking)
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> rickrudedude: maybe aptoncd could do it
[06:07] <yitz_> urlin2u: I've been pulling the MBR out and restoring it seperately from the parition tables. I compared the MBR of the image and the MBR after I rerun the grub installer from the live cd and the two are the same
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> !raid | wiggmpk
[06:08] <urlin2u> yitz_, hmm I have some exsperience here but mainly with just reload the mbr, with grub, lilo, or the ms bootloaders, and just clonezilla on single hd's so you probably know more then I do
[06:08] <wiggmpk> lotuspsychje: perhaps you didnt read the entire question, I already know how to setup a software raid with Linux, I need to know if you it's even possible for a Windows 7 installation to be installed on a linux software raid
[06:09] <urlin2u> yitz_, probably lol I'm sure of it. :D
[06:09] <deel> Hi please see my issue I shared here http://askubuntu.com/questions/101018/how-to-set-keyboard-for-phonetic-hindi-typing-oneiric-for-wx-keyboard-on-qwerty
[06:09] <yitz_> urlin2u: Heh. Could be. Thanks for trying, though :)
[06:09] <damo22> wiggmpk: do you know how to use mdadm, i need help with recovering a raid5
[06:09] <urlin2u> yitz_, no problem.
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> wiggmpk: it all depends how one partition my guess?
[06:10] <wiggmpk> damo22: my experience is limited to personal only. I am no expert at it, and have never had to recover information for a linux drive (only Windows)
[06:11] <wiggmpk> lotuspsychje: is it possible to have the Windows 7 installation recognize an mdadm partition? I mean I already know it cant out of the box, there has to be something loaded to recognize it, I just dont know how to google that lol
[06:12] <noyb> hello.  using ubuntu 11.10... still trying to mount cdrom... slowly figuring it out... now when i try to mount using gmount i get "pixmap error."  time to go back to pencil and paper  :-)  any ideas?
[06:12] <wiggmpk> lotuspsychje: I know you can install a striped mdadm fakeraid and partition a space for a Win7 install on a single disk in the array, but I want to stripe the Win7 install as well
[06:13] <wiggmpk> noyb: your cdrom doesnt mount automatically when you insert the disc?
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> wiggmpk: not sure about that one sorry mate, would virtualization help you with win7?
[06:14] <noyb> wiggmpk... it spins... but nada... then i use gmount & still nada...
[06:14] <wiggmpk> lotuspsychje: no, I have a specific need for a native win7 install (already have a VM and more of a proof of concept and education)
[06:14] <wiggmpk> noyb: do you have a cdrom that you absolutely know works? not damage?
[06:15] <noyb> several, wiggmpk
[06:15] <noyb> none work
[06:15] <b0s> hey guys, my computer just froze for a second, and now a process called md0_raid6 is taking up 27% cpu usage
[06:15] <b0s> is my computer exploding?
[06:15] <b0s> i feel like my raid array just broke down
[06:15] <coolstar-pc> b0s: Try rebooting?
[06:16] <wiggmpk> noyb: in terminal, what does this say "ls /dev/cd*
[06:16] <noyb> wiggmpk... will give it a try... brb
[06:16] <tyro> hello. i'm new to ubuntu. whats the best way to get started? whats a good theme to choose?
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> lol its raid rampage here
[06:17] <b0s> coolstar-pc: mdadm --detail is telling me a rebuild is 74% complete. i don't know why it's rebuilding :(
[06:17] <b0s> it says its resyncing
[06:17] <wiggmpk> b0s: probably because something or some sector if your array was damaged
[06:17] <b0s> wiggmpk: that's frightening.
[06:17] <b0s> do you know how i can figure out what went wrong?
[06:17] <wiggmpk> b0s: it would be more frightening if it wasnt rebuilding
[06:18] <b0s> heh
[06:18] <b0s> i suppose
[06:18] <wiggmpk> b0s: check the logs mate
[06:18] <noyb> wiggmpk... it says... "ls: cannot access /dev/cd: No such file or directory"
[06:18] <b0s> wiggmpk: which logs? syslog? is there a separate log for raid devices?
[06:18] <wiggmpk> noyb: note the * after it, "ls /dev/cd* "
[06:19] <noyb> wiggmpk... sorry... old eyes... brb
[06:19] <wiggmpk> b0s: what style of raid are you using?
[06:19] <b0s> raid 6, linux software raid
[06:19] <b0s> five 500mb partitions on five separate drives
[06:19] <b0s> 1.5tb available space
[06:20] <b0s> wiggmpk: http://pastebin.com/qUTEzZgn
[06:20] <wiggmpk> b0s: 500mb x 5 is 2.5gb mate not 1.5tb
[06:21] <b0s> wiggmpk: 1.5tb useable space, it's raid 6
[06:21] <noyb> wiggmpk... it says " /dev/cdrom  /dev/cdrw"
[06:21] <freshnick> wheres mukaibot
[06:22] <wiggmpk> noyb: hmm, I think this should try and mount it "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt"
[06:23] <noyb> wiggmpk... will try... brb
[06:23] <wiggmpk> b0s: as for you, I never really looked in the logs for raid failures, so I really dont know lol, but I am sure if somethings going on, it would be in there somewhere
[06:24] <b0s> yeah
[06:24] <wiggmpk> b0s truly sorry I couldnt be more help =/
[06:24] <b0s> that's fine thanks :)
[06:24] <b0s> the only thing i found in syslog is three lines saying "rebuild event detected on md device /dev/md/0"
[06:25] <noyb> wiggmpk... it says... mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[06:25] <noyb> mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /mnt busy
[06:25] <noyb> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sr0 is already mounted on /mnt
[06:25] <b0s> i'm googling and it may be completely normal, there's a cron job which does a raid array check every month or something
[06:25] <b0s> maybe i just never noticed it before
[06:25] <wiggmpk> noyb: well then do "cd /mnt" and then "ls" to see whats there
[06:26] <Mixxit> im in rescue mode can anyone help fix my grub
[06:26] <Mixxit> i have lots of problems
[06:26] <wiggmpk> Mixxit: depends if its hard lol
[06:27] <Mixxit> seems to be!
[06:27] <saji89> I have been trying to set up a name based virtual host in pache on ubuntu 11.10, to a folder /var/www/test. But it keeps on pointing to /var/www only. How can I solve it?
[06:27] <b0s> welp, computer hasn't caught fire yet, gonna assume all is well
[06:27] <urlin2u> Mixxit, rescue mode what exactly do you mean can you get to the desktop, or is that a metaphore?
[06:27] <b0s> thanks folks
[06:27] <Mixxit> the rescue mode on the alternate cd
[06:28] <Mixxit> i have a shell in front of me
[06:28] <Mixxit> the disk is /dev/sda
[06:28] <Mixxit> but shell  is the cd rescue shell
[06:28] <urlin2u> Mixxit, never used it you can fx gru pretty easily from the terminal on the dektop, have you run the bootscript perchance?
[06:28] <urlin2u> grub*
[06:28] <CactusWiZaRd> anyone know how to connect to gtalk with bitlbee?
[06:28] <wiggmpk> saji89: I am sure it would be a config setting for apache, change the root directory (probably in the conf file)
[06:28] <Mixxit> i tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:28] <murlidhar> hello all . how can i temporarily disable automounting of external media devices ?
[06:28] <wiggmpk> !enter Mixxit
[06:29] <wiggmpk> pff Mixxit try and keep it to 1 line to avoid spammage
[06:29] <saji89> wiggmpk: DId all that to no use.
[06:29] <wiggmpk> saji89: have your restarted apache?
[06:29] <saji89> wiggmpk: ya.
[06:29] <urlin2u> Mixxit, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[06:30] <Mixxit> i don't have mdadm in this rescue shell
[06:31] <urlin2u> Mixxit, if you can chroot from that command line you should be set if the mbr your aiming at is on the correct drive if you have more then one and the bios is reading it first.
[06:31] <noyb> wiggmpk... as follows... cd /mnt  does nothing... ls says "reading directory .: input/output error"
[06:31] <wiggmpk> saji89: have you tried restarting your computer?
[06:32] <Mixxit> says mount -B is an invalid option
[06:32] <wiggmpk> noyb: then there is probably a driver issue with your cdrom drive (at least it indicates that) or a program with the actual drive (physically)
[06:32] <ejv> b0s: pastebin your dmesg
[06:32] <saji89> wiggmpk: yes.. that too.
[06:32] <ejv> b0s: that will highlight your raid errors
[06:32] <urlin2u> Mixxit, I change OS often I just use supergrub, if IO forget to set the mbr correctly and reload from the desktop.  http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[06:33] <saji89> wiggmpk: My virtualhost configuration file looks like this.
[06:33] <Mixxit> this is just a plain install
[06:33] <saji89> wiggmpk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827328/
[06:33] <Mixxit> it left me with a black screen on bootup
[06:33] <Mixxit> so i can't get in to it to do anything
[06:33] <Mixxit> worst of all the rescue mode freezes when retrieving packages
[06:33] <urlin2u> Mixxit, hah have you tried nomodeset it may be a graphics driver needed.
[06:33] <Mixxit> so i have to drop to emergency shell to do anything
[06:34] <wiggmpk> saji89: do you have the default config file too?

[06:34] <b0s> ejv: http://pastebin.com/06j50TJk
[06:34] <saji89> wiggmpk: Ya its there.
[06:34] <noyb> ok... thx... uhh... one of your questions way back was do I have a cd that I know works... well... when I installed 11.10 it started automatically & worked just fine... i can reinstall it... no problem... only with cds or dvds that don't start automatically is there a problem...
[06:34] <Mixxit> it doesn't even let me type anything
[06:34] <urlin2u> Mixxit, but X is used a desktop or headless, just trying to understand you.
[06:34] <Mixxit> there is nothing when the system boots, no grub no option to type anything
[06:34] <Mixxit> it's just black
[06:34] <murlidhar> hello all . how can i temporarily disable automounting of external media devices ?
[06:35] <frybye> Hi - what command do I need to run a programme that continues to run after closing the terminal window?
[06:35] <Mixxit> install went fine
[06:35] <b0s> ejv: huge number of ata1 errors, is one of my drives failing? i haven't gotten any SMART errors, and mdadm seems to think it's fine
[06:35] <urlin2u> Mixxit, you need to tap shift to get the grub menu with single installs
[06:35] <zykotick9> frybye: screen is one option, aka gnuscreen
[06:35] <wiggmpk> noyb: did you install from scratch (alternate cd) or through a livecd?
[06:35] <b0s> i don't mind if a drive fails, i actually have a spare 500gb drive sitting here on my desk i can just swap it in
[06:36] <Mixxit> tap shift at power on?
[06:36] <urlin2u> Mixxit, you have a desktop you use right?
[06:36] <urlin2u> Mixxit, yes
[06:36] <zykotick9> Mixxit: hold shift is probably easier
[06:36] <Mixxit> just shows a black screen
[06:36] <CactusWiZaRd> god damn it
[06:36] <noyb> wiggmpk... i downloaded 11.10 from ubuntu... burned it to disk... and gleefully slaughtered windows vista... install was flawless.
[06:36] <frybye> I am running unity with 11.10 and want to be able to start indicator-weather so it continues when closing terminal - what would be the command in that case..?
[06:37] <urlin2u> zykotick9, I always tap like a nervous user, fast. :D
[06:37] <Mixxit> with shift i mean, it shows a black screen still
[06:37] <frybye> sorry that was for zykotick9
[06:37] <theadmin> frybye: indicator-weather &disown
[06:37] <wiggmpk> saji89: what is in "/etc/apache2/sites-available/" ?
[06:37] <dark|angel> hey there
[06:37] <frybye> oh good thanks theadmin
[06:37] <dark|angel> is there any way to configure Ubuntu to auto generate SSH keys on boot?
[06:37] <urlin2u> Mixxit, you change any grub perimeters?
[06:37] <dark|angel> if it doesn't find any in /etc/ssh ?
[06:37] <Mixxit> no stock nextnextnext
[06:37] <wiggmpk> noyb: lol right, but was it through a LiveCD (where you had a fully functioning Ubuntu loaded) or through the older text menu driven installer?
[06:38] <saji89> wiggmpk: artis.local  default  default-ssl  test.local
[06:38] <frybye> theadmin: nice one - just the job... thanks
[06:38] <noyb> live cd
[06:38] <theadmin> frybye: Heh. Works with everything basically so
[06:38] <zykotick9> dark|angel: ssh keys should typically change (how can you verify it's the correct box, if it changes every boot?)
[06:38] <frybye> theadmin: great - things are so simle -when you know how- heheh
[06:38] <noyb> sorry wiggmpk... live cd
[06:39] <frybye> e e e simple
[06:39] <wiggmpk> noyb: hmm, then I might seek a second opinion for troubleshooting, because the drive shouldnt have an issue wiht drivers if you used the livecd
[06:39] <dark|angel> zykotick9 I'm trying to make a couple of Xen templates. I said in case it doesn't find any SSH keys in /etc/ssh - for xen templates there shouldn't be any
[06:39] <wiggmpk> saji89: and do you have something in /var/www/test/ like a landing page, index.hmt?
[06:39] <zykotick9> dark|angel: sorry.  i get ya.  hadn't contemplated the reason.  good luck.
[06:40] <noyb> wiggmpk... maybe i'm overthinking this... when a cd or dvd mounts... shouldn't a window pop up with the program in it?
[06:40] <noyb> wiggmpk... in other words, shouldn't something obvious happen?
[06:40] <wiggmpk> noyb: it should, or  a box to ask you what you want to do. but if it gives you an input/output error that's not good
[06:41] <wiggmpk> noyb: is there a disc or cd image on your desktop?
[06:41] <dark|angel> zykotick9 RedHat based distros have a sshd script that autogenerate keys if they don't find any. It wouldn't be an issue, but if the keys are missing, the user can't login over SSH
[06:41] <noyb> wiggmpk... damn... time to go back to my good old trash 80  :)
[06:41] <Ben64> noyb: pastebin "ls -l /dev/s*"
[06:41] <zykotick9> dark|angel: i've seen ubuntu generate those keys either during install, or on first run.  I don't know the answer though.
[06:42] <kblin> hi folks
[06:42] <dark|angel> zykotick9 Xen and other Virtual Machines are different do
[06:42] <kblin> I've just upgraded a 10.10 install to 11.10, and now X11 won't start up
[06:42] <noyb> wiggmpk... do you mean does disk or cd image appear on desktop?
[06:43] <kblin> it seems like it's still trying to load the "nvidia" module, while I seem to have nouveau
[06:43] <noyb> Ben64... will try... brb
[06:43] <wiggmpk> saji89: did you enable the site? "sudo a2ensite <your site name>" then restart apache "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
[06:43] <kblin> but this still happens after I blew away /etx/X11/xorg.conf
[06:43] <theadmin> kblin: blacklist nvidia
[06:43] <kblin> theadmin:
[06:43] <wiggmpk> noyb: yeah, like something that would indicate a disc in the drive on your desktop (icon)
[06:43] <kblin> theadmin: I don't have a module
[06:44] <saji89> wiggmpk: Yes.
[06:44] <theadmin> kblin: I know, just blacklist it so it stops trying
[06:44] <Mixxit> fixed
[06:44] <kblin> theadmin: in modules.conf.d?
[06:44] <Mixxit> somehow managed to get past the retrieving net-usb failure
[06:44] <Mixxit> maybe a network issue i guess
[06:45] <theadmin> dafuq is that, kblin? No, /etc/modprobe.d/anything_you_want_to_call_it.conf, add a line saying "blacklist nvidia"
[06:45] <wiggmpk> saji89: im afraid I'm all out of suggestions
[06:45] <noyb> Ben64... yikes!  lots of "authentic frontier gibberish"  (Blazing Saddles)  :-)
[06:46] <saji89> wiggmpk: Oops.
[06:46] <smokeycastle> wait so all those words before the .conf suffix dont actually matter other than as human readability?
[06:46] <theadmin> smokeycastle: With modprobe? Nope
[06:46] <smokeycastle> :O
[06:47] <smokeycastle> is that the same with init scripts?
[06:47] <smokeycastle> hmm wait stupid question lol
[06:47] <noyb> Ben64... it coughed up lots of permissions stuff... do you want me to paste it or ?
[06:48] <theadmin> smokeycastle: Well it is and it isn't, lol, I mean, you can call an initscript anything but you have to use the same name when running it then
[06:48] <wiggmpk> noyb: probably repeat the command with "sudo" in front
[06:48] <noyb> ok...
[06:48] <Ben64> it shouldn't say anything about permissions
[06:49] <kralle> sorry is there no  more choice for netbook remix in wuby ?
[06:49] <theadmin> kralle: Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Remix are now the same thing cause we're using the netbook interface (Unity) by default
[06:49] <wiggmpk> noyb: oh wait, it should show you permissions (sorry brain fart)
[06:50] <kralle> oh ok thanks theadmin
[06:50] <kralle> :)
[06:50] <wiggmpk> Ben64: i think he's talking about 'rw- - -+1 <user/group> stuff
[06:50] <kblin> theadmin: doesn't change a thing, though
[06:50] <noyb> wiggmpk... thx... repeated it with sudo... it just disappeared... and yes... it was all permissions info
[06:50] <theadmin> kblin: Well after adding that you're supposed to reboot iirc.
[06:50] <Ben64> noyb: what did the errors say
[06:50] <kblin> same "failed to load module 'nvidia'" from startx
[06:50] <kblin> theadmin: I got that much
[06:50] <theadmin> kblin: Ah, startx
[06:51] <noyb> Ben64... you mean the permissions?
[06:51] <Ben64> noyb: yes
[06:51] <theadmin> kblin: Ok just a sec, I'll write up an xorg.conf that's supposed to work :/
[06:51] <saji89> wiggmpk: Anyways thanks for your time.
[06:51] <wiggmpk> saji89: np
[06:51] <kblin> well, X11 isn't coming up. startx seems like a sane way to figure out why the heck that's happening
[06:51] <noyb> Ben64... i'll paste it...
[06:51] <kblin> and X11 looking for an nvidia driver that doesn't exist seems like a good reason
[06:52] <kblin> the question is where the heck that's coming from
[06:52] <wiggmpk> kblin: did you install the nvidia drivers at any time?
[06:52] <theadmin> kblin: There you go: https://pzt.me/9jrt
[06:52] <kblin> wiggmpk: sure, back on the old 10.10 install I had them
[06:53] <wiggmpk> kblin: did you upgrade and it broke?
[06:53] <noyb> Ben64... hold on to your hat... lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root        3 2012-02-03 00:23 /dev/scd0 -> sr0

[06:53] <Ben64> does not mean paste 3000 lines in here
[06:54] <pconwell> what is the cdrom typically listed as under /dev ?
[06:54] <theadmin> pconwell: sr0
[06:54] <theadmin> pconwell: Or sr1, sr2... You get the point xD
[06:54] <buhman> why can't I install coreutils ? http://sprunge.us/XSFF
[06:54] <tnm> hellow! i would like to set permission for two user in a folder var/www/joomla. What command do i put in terminal?
[06:55] <pconwell> theadmin: thanks
[06:55] <theadmin> tnm: You need to create a group and add those two users to it, OR use setfacl (if you have an ACL-enabled filesystem)
[06:55] <kblin> wiggmpk: yes
[06:55]  * taterhead slaps FloodBot1 around a bit with a large trout
[06:55] <tnm> theadmin: is there any GUI program for setting groups and users?
[06:56] <pconwell> theadmin: have you used dd_rescue before?
[06:56] <noyb> didn't mean to flood...  "don't use enter as punctuation??"
[06:56]  * taterhead slaps FloodBot2 around a bit with a large trout
[06:56] <wiggmpk> kblin: did you install the nvidia drivers via jockey (the additional drivers GUI) or did you download them from nvidia and install?
[06:56]  * taterhead slaps FloodBot3 around a bit with a large trout
[06:56] <kblin> theadmin: ok, now it complains about noveau not being found, and actually starts into some sort of shell if I fix the obvious typo
[06:56]  * twitter2 slaps nottaterhead with a large trout
[06:56] <theadmin> tnm: Meh I'm not into guis... sudo addgroup joomla && for i in user1 user2 ; do sudo usermod -aG joomla $i ; done

[06:59] <kblin> what happened to the good old days where you could do an apt-get dist-upgrade and things would just keep working? :)
[06:59]  * stumbleupon motorboats Heather
[06:59] <wiggmpk> kblin: well prior to the 'interruption' someone pasted a generic xorg.conf that should get you back to the basic, which was here https://pzt.me/9jrt
[06:59] <theadmin> kblin: Shell? i.e. xterm?
[06:59] <twitter2_> so much fagging

[06:59] <noyb> Who was it that used to say, "my brain hurts?"  Well, I know how he feels.
[07:00] <kblin> theadmin: I see no wondow decorations, no idea
[07:00] <kblin> theadmin: I didn't check $TERM
[07:00] <wiggmpk> kblin: if you have a working GUI you can just install the drivers through the GUI again
[07:00] <theadmin> kblin: You're not supposed to see any if you use plain startx though, just start your display manager (kdm, lxdm, gdm, lightdm etc) and go from there
[07:01] <noyb> wiggmpk & Ben64, thx for the help... it is appreciated.
[07:01] <kblin> theadmin: well, it seems like I have no window manager anymore, that seems to have disappeared during the update
[07:01] <kblin> theadmin: upgrade, rather
[07:01] <wiggmpk> noyb: np bud, wish I could have helped more (been saying that a lot tonight)
[07:01] <kblin> but yes, X11 is fixed
[07:01] <theadmin> kblin: ew boy... I suggest you reinstall :/ Upgrades break Ubuntus
[07:02] <wiggmpk> kblin: +1 to what theadmin said
[07:02]  * kblin sighs
[07:02] <noyb> wiggmpk... the fault, if any, is mine.
[07:02] <tnm> theadmin: i found a command sudo useradd -G www-data kubanc where www-data is group and kubanc is a user...
[07:02] <kblin> what's the point in using a debian-based distro when you can't dist-upgrade? :)
[07:02] <Flannel> tnm, theadmin: No.  You don't want to do that.
[07:02] <Flannel> kblin: Upgrades work fine for many users.
[07:02] <theadmin> Flannel: I have to point out (s)he uses useradd, not usermod. That's safe.
[07:03] <theadmin> ...I think
[07:03] <Flannel> tnm, theadmin: use `adduser username group` instead
[07:03] <theadmin> That works too
[07:03] <tnm> Flannel: well i already did and it didn't work :D
[07:03] <theadmin> I'm used to "usermod -aG" myself but that's just me
[07:03] <Flannel> tnm: The problem with the command you gave above is -G without -a will replace secondary groups and not append.
[07:03] <kblin> Flannel: I was responding to 08:01 < theadmin> kblin: ew boy... I suggest you reinstall :/ Upgrades break Ubuntus
[07:03] <Flannel> tnm: it does work (you need sudo)
[07:04] <tnm> i did sudo, but i still cannot copy files to a folder which has permission for group www-data
[07:04] <Flannel> kblin: That's his experience, there's a large group of people that upgrades work just fine on.  I haven't reinstalled my machine since 6.06, for example.  There's a variety of things that will affect your chances of success during an upgrade.
[07:04] <kblin> theadmin: anyway, once I install a desktop environment, it seems fine
[07:04] <Flannel> tnm: Does that folder give www-data group write permissions?
[07:05] <kblin> Flannel: well, what bit me is that for the first time in years, I need to put in an xorg.conf again to make X11 start up
[07:05] <kblin> and that kde broke during the upgrade to 11.10
[07:05] <theadmin> Flannel: Well I never had a successful Ubuntu upgrade myself though I do guess it's just me. Also, "his" doesn't apply to me, but whatever.
[07:05] <kblin> but both have since been fixed
[07:06] <saschxd> hello good morning @ll
[07:06] <noyb> bbl after trying some other stuff that probably won't work  ;-)  again, thx, wiggmpk & Ben64!
[07:06] <wiggmpk> noyb: np buddy =P
[07:06] <Ben64> noyb: i'm still waiting for that pastebin
[07:06] <dark|angel> how do I add a script to startup?
[07:06] <kblin> theadmin: in any case, thanks for poining me in the right direction
[07:06] <tnm> Flannel: you rock... and you were right. the command sudo chmod 7-R 77 "folderName" solved the problem :D
[07:07] <tnm> sorry chmod -R 777
[07:07] <noyb> Ben64... i thought i sent my reply which was "pastebin?"
[07:07] <Flannel> tnm: 777 is generally the wrong way to chmod things.
[07:07] <theadmin> tnm: ..you *never* want 777
[07:07] <Ben64> !pastebin | noyb
[07:07] <wiggmpk> !pastebin | noyb
[07:07] <theadmin> tnm: You usually want 644 or 664
[07:07] <Flannel> tnm: You just gave everyone execute permissions for all the files.
[07:07] <tnm> I agree...
[07:07] <Flannel> or g+w, which is what you really wanted.
[07:09] <tnm> Flannel: g+w doesn't give me permission for group
[07:09] <noyb> Ben64... we may have to hold off on the pastebin... i'm writing with one hand, typing with the other, & my feet are trying to keep my pedal powered pc going... :-)
[07:10] <Flannel> tnm: g+w will give group write permissions, if that doesn't give you write permissions, you're not the owner/group.
[07:10] <Ben64> noyb: O_o use a plug or something
[07:12] <Flannel> tnm: After adding yourself to the www-data group (I assume the file has been set to have a group of www-data?), did you log in/restart/whatever you want to call it your terminal?
[07:12] <tnm> Flannel: g+q command gives me drw-rw-r-- 16 www-data www-data permissions. I cannot copy files. The command: id kubanc gave me this: uid=1001(kubanc) gid=1001(kubanc) groups=1001(kubanc),33(www-data)
[07:12] <tnm> Flannel: no, i didn't restart
[07:13] <Flannel> tnm: not restart, just log out/back in (from the terminal, so if this is gnome-terminal, close/re-open is fine)
[07:13] <Flannel> tnm: rw-rw-r-- is correct.
[07:13] <Flannel> tnm: Is that a directory or a file?
[07:13] <Flannel> oh wait, I answered my own question.
[07:13] <quiescens> i'd guess directory
[07:13] <tnm> directory :D
[07:14] <quiescens> in which case execute is really probably needed
[07:14] <Flannel> tnm: Directories need +x as well, to cd into them.  I.... guess I don't know if you need +x to write to them.
[07:14] <noyb> Ben64... you mean electricity?  Heard of it... never had much use for it.  The hamster in my little wheel supplies all the power I need.  ;-)
[07:14] <Flannel> tnm: (this is why setting everything to a particular numeric value is problematic at best)
[07:14] <Ben64> noyb: do you want your cd drive to work?
[07:15] <saschxd> now that dmraid shows me asr_, asr_2 and asr_5 .... which one/two would be the right to mount ?
[07:15] <noyb> Ben64... yes, of course... but at this point it's winning the war.
[07:15] <tnm> Flannel: i still cannot copy files, should i restart the system?
[07:15] <Flannel> tnm: No.  Did you chmod that directory a+x?
[07:16] <Ben64> noyb: I asked you 34 minutes ago for a pastebin and you still haven't provided that. It really isn't that complicated to mount a cd drive, but if you never respond, it will never happen
[07:17] <noyb> Ben64... I'm not ignoring you... I'm really not... I'm just trying to write down everything suggested... follow protocol... not look like too big a jerk... and still wind up with a working cd drive...
