[00:00] <ichbinder> Polah: worked now... weird. Thanks for helping.
[00:00] <terry> ^^ will ignore everything from that particular IP.  You can do that for a range as wel.
[00:00] <Polah> ichbinder: No problem
[00:00] <[THC]AcidRain> superoneclick doesnt support droid x2
[00:00] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  check it again. i used it on older versions.
[00:00] <dr_willis> they may have an older version archived
[00:00] <[THC]AcidRain> well im actually running a flavor of droid x on a droid x2 device,
[00:01] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  time to ask in #android i imagine.
[00:01] <terry> sneakyimp: You dhould go to the security expert you trust for instruction.
[00:01] <[THC]AcidRain> oh snap. z4root is working...
[00:01] <sneakyimp> terry: thx for rule.  as for said expert, he's very busy (and in wildly different time zone).  i'm under a painful deadline.
[00:01] <[THC]AcidRain> or at least it appears.
[00:02] <dr_willis> z4root never worked for me [THC]AcidRain
[00:02] <sneakyimp> terry:  latin proverb: if there is no wind, row
[00:03] <terry> sneakyimp: If it were me, I'd let sshd's config handle what IPs it listens for.
[00:03] <[THC]AcidRain> ,
[00:04] <dr_willis> does sshd support hosts.allow and hosts.deny? or is that so old.. its totally outdated :)
[00:04] <Toyame> hello
[00:04] <sneakyimp> terry: might it happen that one could exploit sshd in that case?   also, is it not more efficient for your machine to have iptables drop the packet before handing it to higher levels of software?
[00:05] <Toyame> hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[00:06] <Loshki> sneakyimp: I agree with terry. Using sshd on a non-standard port, and allowing ssh logins via key only is a better way to go...
[00:07] <zykotick9> dr_willis, ssh would need to be called from xinetd to work - it's probably a stand alone server - so short answer is NO
[00:09] <dr_willis> zykotick9:  just rembering the old-skool days :)
[00:09] <TheCyph3r> I've got a question about coming up with a terminal command
[00:09] <dr_willis> zykotick9:  back when you often had to recompile the kernel to get a cd burner working..
[00:10] <zykotick9> dr_willis, ahh, brings me back to a simpler... err more difficult, time ;)
[00:10] <TheCyph3r> If I have a folder with, say, 100 files (specifically pictures), and they all have typical names cameras give (xxx-###, etc)...how can I rename all of them sequentially
[00:11] <zykotick9> dr_willis, i always hated xinitd BTW, but that hosts allow would be pretty handy.
[00:11] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r:  theck out the renameutils command line tools perhaps. :) is one way
[00:11] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r:  ive cheated and used wine to run 'bulk rename utilty' also on linux (and i use it all the time on windows)
[00:11] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: is that a download?
[00:12] <sneakyimp> Does anyone here have a good plan for excluding the vast majority of remote IPs for SSH access while permitting some reasonable subnet -- WITHOUT locking oneself out of the machine.  For example, what happens when your ISP gets bought by Comcast?  Or your ISP switches to IP v6?
[00:12] <dr_willis> !info renameutils
[00:12] <sneakyimp> Loshki: thanks for your input.
[00:12] <uni4dfx> Has anyone been able to connect their Windows Mobile 6.5 device to Ubuntu?
[00:12] <dr_willis> i use 'qmv' in the renameutils package all the time
[00:14] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: okay so I have the package, I imagine that it's a command line program that I use through the terminal?
[00:15] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r: for example qmv. puts all the filenames in a list in a text editor you set.. edit them how you want, save,exit.. it renames them all.. i do a thing similer to.....
[00:15] <dr_willis> qmv -f do -e geany
[00:15] <dr_willis> qmv -f do -e geany *
[00:16] <dr_willis> -f do = just show the name to rename to... not both befor/after, -e = use the editor...
[00:16] <dr_willis> then you can do whatever edits you want.. but in your simple case. you may want to track down a more focused tool
[00:16] <TheCyph3r> Right, well my thinking was this
[00:17] <joki> Anyone here have experience with conky?
[00:17] <TheCyph3r> There may be 200-300 pictures with names preassigned by camera...the pictures are of book pages, and i'd like to rename them by page #
[00:17] <dr_willis> im so used to useng 'bulk rename utilty' on windows.. i always install it via wine.. it can add 001 to 999 to the front of a bunch of files in just a few clicks
[00:17] <dr_willis> joki:  lots of conky docs and examples out there.. and the conky homepage...
[00:17] <dr_willis> joki: state the issue and see who can help.
[00:18] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r:  so is the page# part of the existing filename?
[00:18] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r:  or are they in order?
[00:18] <Loshki> sneakyimp: that's why I think ssh/non-standard port/keyed entry only is the way to go. You can set up and run/test the server using your existing ssh connection, and then enable it when you're sure it works. And it
[00:18] <wookienz> ubuntu legends. after ,my latest kernel updated pushed out by ubuntu my machine no longer boots to desktop. I get "operaitng in low graphics mode" with no way to fix it.
[00:19] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: They ARE in order, but the existing filename is some randomly assigned name on each...ex: SHF-104, SHF-105, SHF-106, etc.
[00:19] <Loshki> sneakyimp: isn't sensitive to the particular ip addresses in use by client or server...
[00:19] <dr_willis> so you want to change all 'SHF' to "Our_Florida_Pics_" or similer?
[00:20] <TheCyph3r> just like "Pg 201" "Pg 202" "Pg 203" etc. ad nauseum
[00:20] <dr_willis> SO you want to change 'SHF-' to be 'Pg '
[00:20] <dr_willis> but keep the #'s the same.
[00:20] <TheCyph3r> yes, and the numbers in the filename need to be changed as well
[00:21] <dr_willis> heh.. changed how. :)  that frst part would be easy to do via qmv,
[00:21] <TheCyph3r> Nope, the numbers too....It takes FAR too long doing it by hand
[00:21] <dr_willis> you want it to start at 001 and end at whatever? or what exactly
[00:21] <TheCyph3r> let me see
[00:22] <dr_willis> Geany has 'vertical block' cut/paste features that would make that rather easy also. :) if i can rember how to make bash print 001 to 999....
[00:22] <TBotNik> All, Been fighting a networking problem for weeks.  Opened thread on Ubuntu Forums at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11072877#post11072877 and have 3 other machines I just have to get on my network and inet, because they all are supposed to be sharing a database.  I sure can use some help.
[00:23] <sam555> hello all!
[00:23] <sam555> what software program does anyone recommend for checking the hard drive on my Ubuntu computer?
[00:23] <TBotNik> All, Looks like the HOWTO that atomicben put out there would work, if I had the "Auto eth0" they are talking about, which I had before the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04
[00:23] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: Oh wow, brain fart....I'm using my laptop now, but was inserting the SD card into my PC and wondering why the hell the card wouldnt mount!
[00:23] <sam555> Does anyone know whether this is any good http://www.howtoforge.com/checking-hard-disk-sanity-with-smartmontools-debian-ubuntu
[00:24] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r:  :) or ssh'd to some fileserver.. and wondering why its not got the stuff instgalled.. heh...
[00:24] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: im a newbie... "ssh"?
[00:24] <almoxarife> TBotNik: you have a machine of four on a net, you want it to serve up dhcp to the rest, yes?
[00:24] <dr_willis> !ssh | TheCyph3r
[00:25] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r:  somthing you will want learn about. if you have more then 1 ubuntu box.
[00:25] <TBotNik> almoxarife: Yup!
[00:25] <sneakyimp> loshki:  the machine is already alive on the internet.  the issue now is locking it down.  it's a compute instance at amazon EC2 so I can't ever go plug-in a keyboard to fix the problem.  non-standard port is possible but a port scan would yield the open port quite easily.
[00:25] <almoxarife> TBotNik: the simple setup would be dnsmasq
[00:25] <dr_willis> !info dnsmasq
[00:26] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: I see....Well im quite aware that i know a percentage of a percentage about Ubuntu, or even linux for that matter >.<
[00:26] <TBotNik> almoxarife: But why do I not have the "Auto eth0"?
[00:26] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r:  i can 'ssh' from my android phone to my Ubuntu box.. and irc/update/upgrade/transfer files...  make it play 'Mooooo.wav' to annoy the wife....
[00:26] <almoxarife> TBotNik: auto eth0? because you didn't set it to auto?
[00:26] <joki> I need help setting up conky with a lua script anyone willing to help?
[00:27] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: Ohh, so it's like remote access?
[00:27] <TBotNik> almoxarife: Do I need to send my dhcp config to pb, for you to look at?
[00:27] <Foxx> Would any of you know why my wireless would say "device not managed"? I already changed etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf  file to Managed=True
[00:27] <dr_willis> TheCyph3r:  thats one blade of the SSH swiss army-kife-tool.. :)
[00:27] <almoxarife> TBotNik: no, don't want to look at it, you want to serve up dhcp, ok, I suggest 'dnsmasq'
[00:28] <cheako> Hello, I'm trying to build an app with g++ that includes <string> and ends up with this error: " error: '::fwide' has not been declared" and a tone of others.
[00:28] <TBotNik> almoxarife: Not sure, was working on dhcpd, but my machine has dhcp3-server instead and think maybe something got screwed in the config file
[00:28] <TBotNik> almoxarife: K looking at that right now.
[00:28] <cheako> What includes must preq these?
[00:28] <dr_willis> bbl
[00:28] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: I see....okay, so the 129 files are names as such: IMGP0176.jpg, all the way to IMGP0303.jpg
[00:28] <almoxarife> TBotNik: maybe, first you need to decide what to use, then you can figure out the bugs
[00:29] <TheCyph3r> dr_willis: And the first filename I want to change to "Pg 279" and ascend to "Pg 406"
[00:30] <TBotNik> almoxarife: While I'm in "Synaptic" should I uninstall the DHCPD or DHCP3?
[00:30] <almoxarife> TBotNik: I am guessing there is a reason why the router can't serve dhcp
[00:31] <skutr34> Hey, I did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 and tried to boot and it got stuck on a purple screen.....
[00:31] <TBotNik> almoxarife: dnsmasq-base was already installed but not dnsmasq
[00:31] <TBotNik> installing now
[00:31] <skutr34> 64 bit dual boot with Windows 7
[00:31] <almoxarife> TBotNik: yeap, you need it
[00:32] <TBotNik> almoxarife: Got my laptop connected to hub, so will know when it is live.
[00:33] <almoxarife> TBotNik: the config file is pretty straight forward, dnsmasq will offer up dhcp, you decide what the net ip range is, the other machines need to look at the machine with dnsmasq for dhcp
[00:33] <skutr34> Hey, I did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 and tried to boot and it got stuck on a purple screen. Can anyone help with this please?
[00:34] <Loshki> sneakyimp: In practice, port scanning tcp sockets is quite time consuming as the space is so big. I've found that running ssh on a non-standard port has pretty much stopped all ssh probe attempts. And allowing keyed-access-only pretty much prevents any password guessing. You'll probably want it even if you use the other stuff. See Tips for Securing Your EC2 Instance  http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1233, in particular the "Ditch Those Passwords: Use ss

[00:36] <pappa_bear> how do i quit firefox in terminal
[00:36] <dr_willis> killall firefox
[00:37] <dr_willis> may do it
[00:37] <skutr34> Hey, I did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 and tried to boot and it got stuck on a purple screen. Can anyone help with this please?
[00:37] <dr_willis> skutr34:  what video chipset? try the nomodeset option yet?
[00:37] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | skutr34
[00:37] <TBotNik> almoxarife: K installed
[00:37] <pappa_bear> irefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
[00:38] <pappa_bear> killall didnt work
[00:38] <dr_willis> ps ax | grep firefox, make note of the 'pid'  then 'kill pid'  or 'kill -9 pid'
[00:38]  * pappa_bear is frustrated
[00:38] <skutr34> dr_willis: i will try this
[00:38] <dr_willis> or carefully try 'xkill' and click in the ofending firefox window
[00:39] <TrentonAdams> dr_willis: I found my sluggish problem
[00:39] <dr_willis> carefull with xkill;. :) it can kill the X session if you click wrongly
[00:39] <TBotNik> All, Sorry did not drag right so closed.
[00:39] <pappa_bear> i can't find the firefox window
[00:39] <dr_willis> TrentonAdams:  slugs in the pc? :)
[00:39] <TBotNik> almoxarife: What next
[00:39] <pappa_bear> tha's why i'm havin' to do it in terminal but i'm a n()()b
[00:40] <Brosephus> already asked this in #apache but my OS is ubuntu: I've got this config in sites-available, site in enabled, main domain works fine but the two subdomains do not: http://pastebin.com/Sd5B38U2, DNS is configured but the subdomains are unreachable
[00:40] <TrentonAdams> dr_willis: lol.  No, remember, the slow keyboard input, bad graphics, etc, after screen saver.  Logout/login fixed it sort of deal
[00:40] <joki> I need help setting up conky with a lua script anyone willing to help?
[00:40] <TrentonAdams> dr_willis: You mentioned seeing that sometimes too
[00:40] <genewitch> my grub.cfg is wrong, when it tries to boot of UUID it fails but if i set it to /dev/sda1 it boots. Any way to fix the UUID thing or should i just stick with the /dev/sda1
[00:40] <dr_willis> pappa_bear:  then try this route --> ps ax | grep firefox, make note of the 'pid'  then 'kill pid'  or 'kill -9 pid'
[00:40] <dr_willis> TrentonAdams:  dont think it was me...
[00:40] <pappa_bear> pappa_bear@theDen:~$ ps as | grep firefox
[00:40] <pappa_bear>  1000 17794<PHONE_NUMBER>000000<PHONE_NUMBER>000000<PHONE_NUMBER>000000<PHONE_NUMBER>000000 S+   pts/0      0:00 grep --color=auto firefox
[00:40] <pappa_bear> now what?
[00:40] <dr_willis> one of those first #'s is the PID.
[00:41] <pappa_bear> probably the 17794
[00:41] <dr_willis> i just cant rember which. :)
[00:41] <dr_willis> 1000 may be the user uid. :)
[00:41] <pappa_bear> or that 3rd 0
[00:41] <zykotick9> genewitch, run "blkid" to find the proper UUID, or switch to Labels
[00:41] <dr_willis> actually none of them are.. thats the process for your grep command.. :)
[00:41] <zykotick9> genewitch, using /dev/sda# should be avoided if possible
[00:41] <Polah> pappa_bear: dr_willis: Second one is PID. The column is titled "PID" too (:
[00:41] <TBotNik> almoxarife: You have a HOWTO link on setting this up?
[00:42] <almoxarife> TBotNik: dnsmasq configure dhcp http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/setup.html
[00:42] <pappa_bear> okay but what do i do with the pid?
[00:42] <genewitch> zykotick9: the blkid reports the same UUID as the one in grub.cfg
[00:42] <dr_willis> try ps ax | grep fire       could be the command name is not 'firefox' - i got no X. so cant check
[00:42] <dr_willis> pappa_bear:  'kill THEPIDNUMBER'
[00:42] <almoxarife> TBotNik: yeap, from the author even
[00:42] <pappa_bear> k
[00:42] <zykotick9> Does anyone happen to know how long the timeout is sudo, before it requires the password again?
[00:42] <genewitch> zykotick9: mind you i have no idea why it fails, something about root device took too long to respond and it drops to initramfs
[00:43] <Polah> pappa_bear: are you trying to kill an instance of firefox?
[00:43] <pappa_bear> yes
[00:43] <dr_willis> zykotick9:  i was thinking 15 min..  i do know its setable
[00:43] <pappa_bear> Polah, sry
[00:43] <almoxarife> dr_willis: where I can set sudo time?
[00:43] <pappa_bear> Polah, yeah, i can't find the window,
[00:43] <BiggFREE> Usually it is 10 minutes
[00:43] <zykotick9> dr_willis, I found a webupd8 article about setting, but can't figure out a way to test
[00:43] <Polah> pappa_bear: ps -A | grep firefox should do it. The first number that shows is the PID. Then you can use kill -9 <PID>
[00:43] <dr_willis> almoxarife:  no idea. :) i do know its setable s omewhere.
[00:44] <Polah> pappa_bear; Should give you an output like this 9862 ?        00:00:13 firefox-bin with firefox in red
[00:44] <almoxarife> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/how-to-change-sudo-password-time-out-in.html
[00:44] <dr_willis> zykotick9:  sudo apt-get update... enter password...   then try it again in a few min....
[00:44] <zykotick9> Set sudo timeout http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/how-to-change-sudo-password-time-out-in.html
[00:44] <almoxarife> :)
[00:44] <zykotick9> dr_willis, but if i rerun a sudo command won't that reset it?
[00:44] <skutr34> dr_willis: my video card: ATI Raedon HD 3200, ATI display adapter (0x9612)
[00:44] <dr_willis> it sets it for 15 min after the first initial sudo (or 10 min) i think
[00:45] <dr_willis> skutr34:  write that down on a sticker on the pc. :)
[00:45] <omnimoon> evening all
[00:45] <zykotick9> dr_willis, cool, i can just test to figure it out then
[00:45] <dr_willis> zykotick9:  perhaps 'watch sudo ls -l'    :) and let it run till it fails?
[00:45] <TBotNik> almoxarife: /etc/resolve.conf hasboth :  nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> and
[00:45] <TBotNik> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>.  is this good?
[00:45] <dr_willis> I dont know that watch can work that way.. but it just came to mind.
[00:46] <zykotick9> dr_willis, cool thanks!
[00:46] <skutr34> dr_willis: do you by chance know if that chipset needs the nomodeset parameters?
[00:46] <TrentonAdams> dr_willis: Anyhow, I blogged about it just now.  http://blog.adamsbros.org/2011/07/21/ubuntu-sluggish-or-slow/
[00:46] <dr_willis> skutr34:  no idea. I avoid ati as much as possible. try it and see.
[00:47] <skutr34> dr_willis: haha, why do you avoid ATI?
[00:47] <jswensen> Just installed 10.04 (no 11.04 because I can only get RTAI to build for 10.04).  I can't get gdm to start without "fenagling".  Xorg/gdm seems to start, but it just sits there and the cursor blinks on a black background.  If I mash on CTRL-ALT-F1 long enough the screen goes blank (I think it actually dropped to a terminal because I can blind login and cat something to a file and it is actually there), then use ALT-F8 to get back to graphical display.  Up
[00:47] <jswensen> returning GDM is actually showing up.
[00:47] <almoxarife> TBotNik: no, resolve.conf will reset itself, the change is done elsewhere
[00:47] <dr_willis> skutr34:  i normally need nomodeset untll i can get the addational-drivers installed for my nvidia cards
[00:47] <dr_willis> skutr34:  they are very poor in their linux support.
[00:47] <jswensen> In constrast, if I start the system without GDM running and just run startx, Xorg starts up fine.  Any suggestions?
[00:47] <skutr34> dr_willis: ok
[00:47] <dr_willis> skutr34:  i rank them > 'nvidia, intel ...... way down.. ATI..   and NEVER BUY --> sis.'
[00:47] <TBotNik> K, where?
[00:48] <dr_willis> does matrox even exist any more? they would be above sis. :)
[00:48] <skutr34> dr_willis: i will try the nomodeset params, then install my additional drivers
[00:48] <skutr34> thanks for the help :)
[00:48] <TBotNik> almoxarife: Do I need to create the shell script they suggest and run it?
[00:48] <TrentonAdams> Yeah, those sissy sis cards.
[00:48] <TrentonAdams> :P
[00:48] <dr_willis> skutr34:  ive notived if you install with the nomodeset option. It can get added to the /etc/default/grub file - even after its not neded.
[00:48] <skutr34> dr_willis: really? that's interesting
[00:49] <ntr0py> dr_willis, may i ask what gfx card u currently have in use?
[00:49] <almoxarife> TBotNik: no shell scripts, wait one
[00:49] <skutr34> dr_willis: notived?
[00:49] <dr_willis> I am on an Nvidia Geforce 6150SE (built into the MB) on this box. I took out my 8800gtsxxx  that was in here.. because i couldent stand the noise. :)
[00:49] <TBotNik> almoxarife: K, just remember I have dhcp3-server instead of dhcpd.
[00:50] <dr_willis> Laptop has a Nvidia 360M  (i think), only ati machine i got is a 'slim' cheap pc i got at xmas on black friday for $200 :)(
[00:50] <user234> if i'm getting a write protect error on a usb drive that does not have a write protect slider, does that mean it's toast?
[00:51] <dr_willis> user234:  ive seen usb flash go bad that way..
[00:51] <dr_willis> user234:  ive seen brand new ones say a similer error.. even under windows. :) took that one back to the store.
[00:51] <user234> dr_willis: thx
[00:52] <Hermiene> I'm getting the blank screen w/cursor thingy when trying to install, and I've tried the "i195.modeset=0" solution, to no avail. Am I missing something...?
[00:52] <dr_willis> Store Manager was looking ALL over that usb flash for a write-protect switch.. ive never seen a USB flash with one.
[00:52] <TBotNik> almoxarife: You looking for HOWTO?
[00:52] <dr_willis> night all...
[00:52] <q0_0p> how do i install ubuntu kernel
[00:52] <ntr0py> dr_willis, night
[00:53] <almoxarife> TBotNik: dnsmasq is a dhcp server, but you also have another as you mentioned, you need to decide which is the one you want to use, I don't see how both can be used
[00:53] <wookienz> when i log into gdm i dont have the classic gnome option, only "user defined session or "recovery console" where has it gone?
[00:53] <wookienz> classic gnome tha is.
[00:54] <YankDownUnder> Hermiene, What about VGA=771 ?
[00:54] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p what do you mean by that upgrade the kernel?
[00:54] <TBotNik> almoxarife: K will uninstall, but have to leave client.  Right?
[00:54] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, yes
[00:54] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, for some reason ubuntu is telling me I dont have a kernel when i boot
[00:54] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, I've chrooted into the system and have access to apt-get
[00:55] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p Im more familiar with yum than apt but sudo apt-get upgrade kernel should do it
[00:55] <Hermiene> YankDownUnder: I'm on a stationary box. I thought that was just for laptops...?
[00:55] <almoxarife> TBotNik: the client was already there, yes?
[00:55] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, what should I apt-get in specific
[00:55] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p /usr/bin
[00:56] <YankDownUnder> Hermiene, Give it a go regardless....you can also put in: acpi=off noapic
[00:56] <almoxarife> TBotNik: so why not use the dhcp-server you installed?
[00:56] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, what about /usr/bin ?
[00:56] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p sorry missread apt-get upgrade kernel
[00:56] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p thought you asked for the path to apt
[00:56] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, what is package called
[00:57] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, if i remember something like linux-image
[00:57] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, or linux headers
[00:57] <Hermiene> YankDownUnder: This is my first time installing Linux... Do I leave the double hyphens "--" alone, or do I delete them?
[00:58] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p linux-image will work with sudo apt-get install
[00:58] <YankDownUnder> Hermiene, Just a quick question - why are you using the "i195" option in the first place?
[00:58] <user234> is there a place where i can download modules for a particular kernel?
[00:58] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p I use sudo apt-get upgrade kernel just to install headers etc
[00:59] <Hermiene> YankDownUnder: I followed this: http://journalxtra.com/2010/07/ubuntu-fixing-the-blank-screen-on-installation-bug/
[00:59] <sker> Q
[00:59] <YankDownUnder> Hermiene, Right oh...just checking mate.
[00:59] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, what about this apt-get install linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic
[00:59] <herny> they should combine Software Center and Synaptic into one thingamabob
[00:59] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p yes thats the kernel
[01:00] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, do I need to install headers?
[01:00] <andantino> and call it Synaptic Thingamabob?
[01:00] <Hermiene> YankDownUnder: Giving it a go...
[01:00] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p the headers and other stuff isnt needed unless you want to compile your own kernel
[01:00] <YankDownUnder> Hermiene, you can also try adding "xforcevesa" as well...
[01:00] <L1nuxRules> q0_0p also might be needed to compile from source
[01:00] <q0_0p> L1nuxRules, okay makes sense
[01:01] <almoxarife> synaptic works for me, its not sexy but it gets it done
[01:01] <suicidal> hey guys
[01:01] <suicidal> how do i join a channel?
[01:01] <herny>  /join #channel
[01:01] <zykotick9> This isn't a support question so technically it's OT but, I gotta share it.  KVM virtualization can easily boot separate physical partitions - so you can be in Ubuntu, and open a VM of your physical windows on another partition (or another GNU/Linux install).  Really cool in my opinion!  I discovered it as a warning on Ubuntu's KVM page.
[01:01] <goodtime> #channel
[01:01] <andantino> "/join #channelname"
[01:01] <suicidal> guys
[01:02] <ntr0py> How is it possible that a video in VLC looks like it has lover fps on vdpau than regular playback?
[01:02] <suicidal> how do i join a channel?
[01:02] <andantino> slash
[01:02] <andantino> #
[01:02] <andantino> join
[01:02] <dualbootah> hi everyone
[01:02] <Polah> suicidal: /join #channel
[01:02] <sker> hi
[01:02] <andantino> ooops
[01:02] <dualbootah> i just installed ubuntu
[01:02] <andantino> i mean
[01:02] <dualbootah> but i cant get the World of wracraft installer file to open
[01:02] <dualbootah> can someone help me
[01:02] <dualbootah> it says the exe is hidden
[01:02] <dualbootah> and i cant freaking fix it
[01:03] <almoxarife> dualbootah: exe? like windows?
[01:03] <dualbootah> yes
[01:03] <dualbootah> im trying to run it with wine
[01:03] <dualbootah> but now its all screwed up
[01:03] <goodtime> type  /join #channel suicidal
[01:04] <dualbootah> now its completely meesed up
[01:04] <andantino> like if you want to join a room called skallywag you would type "/join #scallywag"
[01:04] <almoxarife> dualbootah: did winehq say that game ran in wine?
[01:04] <dualbootah>  No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.
[01:04] <dualbootah> yes its the most popular ame able to be ran in wine with no problems
[01:04] <zykotick9> almoxarife, WOW does run in wine yes
[01:05] <L1nuxRules> dualbootah the only use of windows is for gaming so use it forget wine or whatever because your emulating so your hardware is being used for more than is needed although windows will use more base resources
[01:05] <dualbootah> im only ubunut
[01:05] <dualbootah> id like to run it in ubuntu...
[01:05] <thephased> I'm having a tough time removing alsa-base from lucid. apt-get doesn't seem to work because that's not how i installed it initally.
[01:05] <chaddy> ask in #winehq, maybe, dualbootah
[01:06] <thephased> i really just want to upgrade alsa to 1.0.24 using a ppa
[01:06] <zykotick9> dualbootah, have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[01:06] <L1nuxRules> dualbootah Im hardcore Linux and hate windows but I still use it because its the only advantage windows has over Linux which is down to dev and hardware vendors
[01:06] <genewitch> is installing the ATI drivers from the restricted hardware panel the recommended way of doing it?
[01:06] <genewitch> or should i get the drivers from ATI
[01:06] <almoxarife> dualbootah: google more
[01:06] <rww> genewitch: You should use Restricted Hardware. The ATI drivers aren't supported by us.
[01:06] <dualbootah> i have
[01:06] <dualbootah> ive tried every solution
[01:06] <dualbootah> nothing works
[01:06] <dualbootah> im supposed to unhide the exe
[01:07] <genewitch> rww: k
[01:07] <dualbootah> but it doesnt owrk
[01:07] <FloodBot1> dualbootah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:07] <zykotick9> dualbootah, ask in #winehq then
[01:07] <ichbinder_> hello. I need to install sun-java6-jdk and a few weeks ago that still was found in synaptic and installed, when canonical partners was added as repository. Now I installed same ubuntu 11.04 on a different machine today and it can't find sun-java6-jdk anymore, even though canonical partners etc. is the same...?
[01:07] <dualbootah> Note that on some WoW DVD's the installer executable is hidden and you need to re-mount the disc with the 'unhide' option. To do this type in a terminal:    sudo umount /dev/cdrom   sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/
[01:07] <blade1> i need help about kdm theme
[01:07] <dualbootah> i tried those commands
[01:07] <Hermiene> YankDownUnder: The "vga=771" thing didn't work. What was the other thing? (I didn't jot it down.)
[01:07] <almoxarife> dualbootah: giving up? that's no fun, get some soda and some pizza, start from scratch
[01:07] <zykotick9> ichbinder, did you "sudo apt-get update" after adding partner?  it should be there.
[01:08] <StaticShock> is there an appropriate channel for discussing FUSE?
[01:08] <Polah> ichbinder_: Double check the partners repo is enabled and make sure you updated your package list
[01:08] <YankDownUnder> Hermiene, "xforcevesa"
[01:08] <andantino> dualbootah: juice and salad is probably a healthier option though
[01:08] <andantino> just sayin
[01:09] <Hermiene> YankDownUnder: Ah, thanks. Will try that.
[01:10] <blade1> i need help about kdm!!!
[01:11] <KM0201> blade: might have more luck in #kubuntuu
[01:11] <blade1> but i have ubuntu
[01:11] <blade1> :D
[01:11] <Docnix> hello everybody
[01:11] <KM0201> blade: so why on earth are you using kdm?
[01:12] <sker> hi
[01:12] <blade1> i will other theme
[01:12] <Docnix> is there anybody expert with PiTiVi?
[01:12] <ichbinder_> Polah: oh man... I shouldn't setup a new system last minute when I need it 9 hours later for a demo... and then forget to reload package list... -.-
[01:12] <ichbinder_> Polah: thanks! :)
[01:12] <L1nuxRules> km0201 hes probably installed a kde aimed app i.e yakuake
[01:13] <KM0201> L1nuxRules: that usually doesn't install kdm
[01:13] <Docnix> I'd need to export a movie in another standard format than the owner format
[01:13] <L1nuxRules> km0201 ahh ok
[01:13] <sneakyimp> loshki: yes of course keyed access via ssh already set up.  no root login, no password, key only.   in fact, only one AllowUsers right now.
[01:14] <blade1> :(
[01:14] <Avalessa> I know this is a stupid question but is there a specific topic here? :\
[01:15] <L1nuxRules> sneakimp one more thing now switch the ssh port ... just for the decryption exploits
[01:15] <Polah> Avalessa: Nope.
[01:16] <Avalessa> WOuld anyone be able to help me figure out why ubuntu seems to suddenly be rejecting my xbox?
[01:16] <Polah> Avalessa: In what way do you mean?
[01:17] <L1nuxRules> +1 ubuntu
[01:17] <JRWR> Ubuntu 10.04 (Linode) - Postfix/Dovecot Issue - Unable to receive emails - When ever i send a email to my mail server, the logs show that the email was received and no errors where found, when i go to check the account, no emails are in the inbox at all - main.cf http://pastebin.com/ARjhCSFC / master.cf http://pastebin.com/KHLRZt4A / dovecot.conf http://pastebin.com/hfKgB6VW
[01:17] <YankDownUnder> JRWR, Um...wouldn't that question work better in #dovecot ?
[01:17] <kora-chan> hi, i'm using natty on my thinkpad x220 tablet (i7, intel 3000HD). i have a small problem: i can use my external monitor just fine when i use my vga output, but when i connect it to the display port i only get a black screen with a mouse pointer on my notebook and the display itself says no signal. any idea how to troubleshoot?
[01:18] <Avalessa> OUt of nowhere I suddenly lost the ability to go on xbox live. I use a wired connection through my ubuntu 11.04 laptop and it worked fine 3 weeks ago (I was idle for 3 weeks) and suddenly my xbox doesn't even connect to my network. I called xbox support and they told me to contact the ubuntu community so here I am.
[01:18] <kora-chan> Avalessa: youre using your ubuntu machine to route the xbox to the net?
[01:19] <Avalessa> Yes
[01:19] <L1nuxRules> jrwr tail -f /var/log/mailog while your sending a mail to the server then pastebin that
[01:20] <kora-chan> Avalessa:  Do you use a switch to connect the xbox and the pc? if yes, are you running a dhcp server on your ubuntu box? you could start by looking if the xbox got an ip and if yes if you can ping it
[01:20] <JRWR> l1nuxman: http://pastebin.com/ALqcw0Xb
[01:20] <L1nuxRules> jrwr but really you should be asking in #ubuntu-server
[01:20] <L1nuxRules> jrwr will take a look
[01:21] <kora-chan> Avalessa: may seem like a straight forward solution,... if the xbox doesnt find any network i'd also try checking the network cables,.. maybe somethings broken there
[01:21] <robskii> Anyone know their way around joomla?  Nothing hasworked.
[01:22] <almoxarife> Avalessa: why not connect the xbox to the router?
[01:23] <Avalessa> I'm 2 stories above the router
[01:23] <terry> Avalessa: Tel us what you have hooked to what.
[01:23] <JRWR> l1nuxman: its a virtual mailbox setup, should be going into the jrwr account
[01:23] <almoxarife> Avalessa: ah
[01:23] <Avalessa> My xbox is hooked up to my laptop which is connected to our wifi network
[01:24] <YankDownUnder> JRWR, Have you considered checking in the #dovecot channel? Or #postfix for that matter? Oh, and have you setup a "procmailrc" yet?
[01:24] <pappa_bear> Polah, that worked thanks
[01:24] <L1nuxRules> jrwr theres no errors in the mailing being recieved so its the local delivery thats an issue are all the mail services started? Is the mail queue high?
[01:24] <terry> !ics | Avalessa
[01:25] <Avalessa> I'm already doing that
[01:25] <JRWR> l1nuxman: i found the lost emails, they where in /home/jrwr/maildir
[01:26] <terry> Avalessa: Do you have eth0 set to static IP address?
[01:26] <terry> Avalessa: First off, is eth0  the network interface that is connected to the xbox?
[01:26] <terry> or is it eth1?
[01:26] <daniel__> hello would anyone know how to activate a wireless driver that stoped working after i updated from 10.10 to 11.04 my card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN and my computer is a vostro 1000
[01:26] <Avalessa> eth0 is the connection
[01:26] <terry> to the xbox?
[01:26] <Avalessa> Yes
[01:27] <pappa_bear>  pappa_bear@theDen:~$ kill -9 16200
[01:27] <pappa_bear> bash: kill: (16200) - No such process
[01:28] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Have you tried to find out if the right device driver for the wireless is working and activated? (run "sudo jockey-gtk")
[01:29] <pappa_bear> Polah, btw, it's the second number
[01:29] <L1nuxRules> jrwr thats your inbox what are you using to retrieve the mail?
[01:29] <Polah> pappa_bear: Second number for the way dr_willis told you to do it. It was the first number for the way I told you to.
[01:30] <L1nuxRules> jrwr actually might not be whats the contents of that dir?
[01:31] <almoxarife> Avalessa: you have a wireless connection to the router?
[01:31] <Avalessa> My laptop does, yes
[01:31] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, all that did was open additional drivers ive tried that and i marked the bcmwl-kernel-source for reisntalation like the website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx told me to and nothing has worked what else do u think i should try ?
[01:31] <almoxarife> Avalessa: does xbox?
[01:32] <Avalessa> No,
[01:32] <Zaehlas> I have a question, running ubuntu 10.04, server, LTS, fresh install.  WHY would my udev do THIS: http://paste.ubuntu.com/649600/
[01:32] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and comment out the bcm43xx driver, reboot.
[01:32] <pappa_bear> Polah, first number = User ID
[01:33] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, how do i do that
[01:33] <Polah> pappa_bear: Not for my method. ps as shows UID and then PID. ps -a like I said shows PID  and then TTY. No UID
[01:34] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Um, sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf => comment in front of bcm43xx, save the file, restart the machine
[01:35] <L1nuxRules> Zaehlas maybe something to do with the build system
[01:36] <Zaehlas> well, this is crazy, was same build I used before, needed new hard drives, so fresh installed, but it looks luike every time it's booting, it swaps my two network interfaces..  which causes some serious problems, as you can guess.
[01:36] <L1nuxRules> Zaehlas they have probablly changed something with the PXE deployment
[01:37] <Zaehlas> meh.  any idea on how to UNDO whatever they changed.  this is crazy.  who has udev specifically rename network interfaces on a whim?
[01:37] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, sry im a realy big noob here what do u mean comment in front of bcm43xx
[01:38] <L1nuxRules> Zaehlas not familiar with udev or whim
[01:38] <Zaehlas> YankDownUnder Comment is like the number sign, usually, hold down shift, hit 3, that symbol means "comment the whole line"
[01:38] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Put a "#" in front of it like all the other comments in the file.
[01:39] <Zaehlas> *sigh*  Maybe I'll reboot another dozen tinmes, and try to figure out what's it doing.
[01:39] <Zaehlas> Thanks anyway
[01:40] <ocmsRzr> hi, I'm trying to get my mic input played through the speakers and I don't have a clue how. I tried enabling the loopback module in pulseaudio but it didn't work
[01:40] <ocmsRzr> any ideas?
[01:40] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, .# replaced by b43 and ssb.
[01:40] <daniel__> blacklist (so here)>bcm43xx
[01:41] <comfortsuites> how do i reset the desktop,top tool bar, bottom toolbar to default settings?
[01:41] <histo> !resetpanels | comfortsuites
[01:42] <comfortsuites> bash: !resetpanels: event not found ??
[01:42] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Yeah mate. Das it
[01:42] <comfortsuites> didn't work
[01:43] <comfortsuites> someone has changed the panel settings and minimized apps are like very very small
[01:43] <SAaCMB> Ok i got windows installed, i have to update the drivers to be able to use sound and the internet. Heres my question, how do i fix the MBR so that i get Ubuntu as an operating system choice at startup? The installation of windows7 has made it so it only gives me the choice of windows.
[01:43] <Avalessa> CAn anyone else help me with my xbox problem?
[01:44] <histo> !grub2 | Obeyance
[01:44] <Polah> SAaCM: Boot from a LiveCD/USB and reinstall GRUB
[01:44] <itaylor57> comfortsuites, you run the command given by ubottu not the resetpanels command
[01:44] <yellowgto> Anyone have any idea how to unmute mic (So you can hear it) on Ubuntu 11.04?
[01:44] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, ok should i earase the blacklist before it and also how do i save it
[01:44] <histo> yellowgto: in the sound preferences
[01:45] <yellowgto> I've unmuted that already
[01:45] <yellowgto> Under the input tab
[01:45] <yellowgto> Doesn't work
[01:45] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Mate, I never said to erase the blacklist - only to comment out the bcm43xx module and save the file and reboot the machine.
[01:46] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, ok i didnt jsut making sure but how do i save the file
[01:46] <Obeyance> Ok, i have Ubuntu 9.10 LIVECD. The last grub version i had after upgrading and patching fully to 11.04 i had Grub 1.99. What is the safest method of getting back to that? Would doing the liveCD route be safe?
[01:46] <histo> yellowgto: you want to here playback from the mic?
[01:46] <yellowgto> Yes
[01:46] <histo> yellowgto: you'd have to unmute the output tab as well
[01:46] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, "CTRL+X" saves the file
[01:46] <yellowgto> I don't have an Unmute tab in output histo
[01:47] <daniel__> ok im rebooting thanks hopefully it works
[01:47] <yellowgto> Just left or right slider
[01:47] <histo> yellowgto: you should have an output volume for the mic on the playback tab
[01:47] <histo> yellowgto: if not you can use alsamixer in a terminal and
[01:47] <yellowgto> Playback tab in Sound prefs?
[01:48] <histo> yellowgto: idk i'm not in ubuntu atm but I know it's there
[01:48] <yellowgto> I have an output tab
[01:48] <yellowgto> histo I thought ubuntu uses pulse audio
[01:48] <yellowgto> Not alsamixer?
[01:48] <yellowgto> I might be wrong
[01:48] <histo> yellowgto: alsamixer is a volume control
[01:49] <yellowgto> because I have Alsa Mixer
[01:49] <histo> yellowgto: unless something changed recently you should be able to adjust volumes with it
[01:50] <yellowgto> It must be the headset
[01:50] <yellowgto> Doesn't jive right with Ubuntu
[01:50] <yellowgto> Logitech G930
[01:50] <yellowgto> I have everything unmuted in ALSA mixer
[01:51] <histo> yellowgto: i see what you are saying now with the new sound settings
[01:51] <histo> yellowgto: let me check something
[01:51] <yellowgto> I downloaded ALSA mixer
[01:51] <yellowgto> From Synaptic
[01:53] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, still no luck
[01:53] <stercor_> What's the average capacity of nodes on VG2?
[01:54] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Now that you've done that, run "sudo jockey-gtk" again - see what shows up mate.
[01:55] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py:44: Warning: g_object_set_qdata: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
[01:55] <daniel__>   return info.invoke(*args)
[01:56] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Are you typing this in a term: sudo jockey-gtk ??
[01:58] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, yeh it opens up additional drivers and shoots that out in additional drivers it says the broadcom STA wireless driver is working but on my computer the wifi led isnt lit and as far as the networking tool it wont detect it and it worked fine in 10.10
[01:59] <ocmsRzr> does anyone know how to play mic input through the speakers in 11.04
[01:59] <YankDownUnder> daniel__, Close all that crap up, and open up the Package Manager, search on "backports" => install the backports, reboot, see what goes on after that.
[01:59] <daniel__> ok
[02:00] <comfortsuites> don't you need a patch cable to do a NIC2NIC connection?
[02:00] <TheCyph3r> If I have two Ubuntu boxes on the same wireless network, can I transfer data b/w them w/o using an external HDD or the like?
[02:01] <lenovo> lenovo ideapad y430
[02:01] <dli> TheCyph3r, sure, use ssh should be handy, unless the network blocks it
[02:01] <YankDownUnder> comfortsuites, IN most instances, the onboard NIC's are automatically configured - so they'll know if it's a crossover connection or not - and fix it automagically...however, it's always  nice to  have a crossover cable handy.
[02:02] <TheCyph3r> dli: And how do I do that? I'm VERY slowly learning the whole Linux/Ubuntu thing
[02:02] <comfortsuites> so it is possible to have a IP assigned to a NIC on the other end of a standard ethernet cable in ubuntu?
[02:03] <dli> comfortsuites, auto-crossover is included in all Gigabit NIC, so, unless you have two computers both with 100Mbps NICs
[02:03] <bryhoyt> Hi, I have made a few custom mods to my ubuntu system and suddenly dhclient (dhcp utility, I presume) no longer works. It first complains "error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6" and on further inspection with strace, it turns out that it doesn't have the permissions to access the libc.so.6 library (when it tries to open it in the first few lines of strace). However, I am very definitely running it as root. What's my problem?
[02:03] <dli> TheCyph3r, on both computers, install sshfs
[02:03] <comfortsuites> laptop is wifi, another laptop is wired into the wifi laptop. how do i bridge the connections so laptop 2 can get an IP ?
[02:04] <daniel__> YankDownUnder, ok wicth one there seems to be many different ones linux-backports-modules-net-(then random numbers follows by generic and some are then follow by -pare or they are followed by nattey then generic
[02:04] <Obeyance> When i type ( Sudo Grub ) It says Command not found.
[02:04] <dli> comfortsuites, if you only do it once, just connect ethernet cable, manually set IPs for both, and enable NAT(ipmasq) on the one with wifi
[02:04] <Obeyance> !grub
[02:05] <Obeyance> Should i get grub2 or stick with KK grub 1.*?
[02:05] <Obeyance> Im new to linux so i dont know the difference.
[02:06] <dli> Obeyance, then, choose grub2
[02:06] <TheCyph3r> dli: Is sshfs run through the terminal? I dont see it in the Applications section
[02:06] <comfortsuites> dli: the laptop with wifi is being assigned it's own IP from a router via DHCP. i want to get the wired laptop and IP from the router. allow a passthrough
[02:06] <dli> TheCyph3r, if you want GUI, gnome file manager (nautilus) can do ssh
[02:07] <Disguised> can someone explain the purpose of .xinitrc? does gdm go looking for that file, or does it just look at the file in the xsessions directory
[02:07] <dli> TheCyph3r, open nautilus, go to File->Connect to Server, and supply IP of the other computer, and choose ssh protocol
[02:08] <dli> Disguised, no, gdm doesn't read .xinitrc
[02:08] <dli> Disguised, if you run the command startx, .xinitrc is sourced
[02:09] <TheCyph3r> dli: Which computer should be server? The one supplying or receiving?
[02:09] <comfortsuites> dli: where do i go to enable NAT?
[02:09] <Disguised> well, im using dwm, and i want to customize the status bar, which reads from stdin i believe
[02:09] <Disguised> so should i create a script, then call that from my xsesion file instead of dwm directly?
[02:09] <dli> TheCyph3r, either way would work, since it's a two-way transfer
[02:10] <dli> comfortsuites, you can try programs like shorewall, or use some simple bash scripts
[02:13] <TheCyph3r> dli: okay, so I don't need to supply any passwords or anything?
[02:14] <dli> TheCyph3r, you will be asked about passwd, unless you get public keys
[02:15] <TheCyph3r> dli: strange...it's saying "Could not display "sftp://xxx.xxx.x.xx/"  Acess was denied."
[02:15] <TheCyph3r> dli: The x's are in lieu of the ip
[02:15] <dli> TheCyph3r, can you ssh to it in terminal?
[02:16] <dli> TheCyph3r, also, on the server side (remote), make sure ssh port is up, test it there: ssh localhost
[02:16] <TheCyph3r> dli: Don't know how :(    I'm a total newbie to this
[02:16] <dli> TheCyph3r, if it works, try from the other computer: ssh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[02:17] <TheCyph3r> dli: "ssh: connect to host localhost port22: Connection refused"
[02:18] <dli> TheCyph3r, you need to install the program, sudo apt-get install ssh
[02:18] <TheCyph3r> dli: okay, I got sshfs on both from Software Center, didnt know i needed ssh as well :-/
[02:18] <dli> TheCyph3r, if it's already installed, try to start it, sudo service ssh start
[02:19] <lunarblaze> i need to format a drive but i dunno how. terminal command please?
[02:19] <dli> lunarblaze, mkfs.ext4 /dev/foo
[02:19] <tbotnik> almox
[02:20] <lunarblaze> and then the location right?
[02:20] <TheCyph3r> dli: Okay, I just installed ssh on both boxes
[02:20] <tbotnik> almoxarife: Hey...you were helping my friend tbotnik with connectivity...but he can't connect so, I'm trying to help him out
[02:21] <Obeyance> Ok i have been following the directions and i have made my way to using the [ Sudo grub-install ] command but i am unsure which /dev/sda to specify.
[02:21] <TheCyph3r> dli: do I need to go through the "ssh localhost" setup on both boxes?
[02:22] <tbotnik> all: Hey....can anyone help me (and my friend) connect wirelessly with Ubuntu?
[02:22] <Obeyance> When i typed [ mount | tail -1 ] it echoed " /dev/sda3 on /media/209380432jf3209 "
[02:22] <TheCyph3r> you can try using Empathy...its an IM service
[02:22] <lunarblaze> ok, i used this command: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/mini    and got this mkfs.ext4: invalid blocks count
[02:22] <tbotnik> all: He has no connectivity...and I'm his "eyes and ears" here
[02:22] <comfortsuites> Obeyance: trying to install grub?
[02:23] <tbotnik> all: any help would be appreciated greatly....
[02:23] <lunarblaze> tbotnik: you have network manager running right? what version ubuntu?
[02:23] <goodtime> any
[02:24] <tbotnik> lunarblaze...would you mind chatting privately....this might take some doing....
[02:24] <comfortsuites> !grub
[02:24] <lunarblaze> ok, i used this command: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/mini    and got this mkfs.ext4: invalid blocks count
[02:24] <tbotnik> 10.04 version of Ubuntu...the network manager is apparently corrupted....
[02:25] <spencer__> release 10.04- trying to get my wireless working. eth0 ok. equipment type is cisco-linksys e1000. The problem is that I can't secure the line. the default works ok.
[02:25] <[THC]AcidRain> just to be sure. superoneclick works on ubuntu right?
[02:25] <CLF1> Can anyone tell me why I can't change my USB HD permissions It keeps reverting to "forbidden" and can't seem to see it on network
[02:26] <TheCyph3r> dli: Okay I have it figured out....one question though, is there any way to turn off the ssh hosting on the box?
[02:26] <lfender> so im still new to ubuntu but were could i find some cool desktop stuff or widgets like stuff
[02:27] <Monotoko> lfender, you probably want to look into compiz
[02:27] <lunarblaze> lfender, have you tried the software center? :p
[02:27] <Logan_> !screenlets | lfender
[02:27] <Monotoko> TheCyph3r, to turn off ssh server just run: /etc/init.d/ssh stop
[02:28] <lfender> thanks
[02:28] <lunarblaze> yep
[02:30] <spencer__> release 10.04- trying to get my wireless working. eth0 ok. equipment type is cisco-linksys e1000. The problem is that I can't secure the line. the default works ok. how to secure the link?
[02:30] <blottoman> I was connected to my work VPN the other day and working.  Left my computer for a bit and when I returned it was locked up.  I rebooted and now I'm unable to connect to the VPN.  The syslog isn't very descriptive.  The only thing I really see in the "VPN Plugin Failed"
[02:31] <blottoman> Anyone have any suggestions?
[02:31] <zachlr> When I first installed Ubuntu, I remember being asked "Don't ask for a password, Ask for a password at logon, or Ask for a password to decrypt my home directory"  Is it too late to enable home directory encryption after Ubuntu is installed and I've been using it?  Where can I find more information about this?
[02:32] <TheCyph3r> Monotoko: Very good, thanks!
[02:32] <CLF1> Can someone please help me with a problem seeing my USB hard drive on network.  permissions keep reverting back to "forbidden"
[02:32] <Monotoko> TheCyph3r, no problem...if you don't need to the server you can uninstall it using sudo apt-get remove openssh
[02:33] <andantino> a little off topic but are there support rooms for computer brands
[02:33] <Monotoko> TheCyph3r, otherwise it will come back on reboot...you can use this to stop it completly though: update-rc.d ssh remove
[02:33] <TheCyph3r> monotoko: Well the isntall i used was "sudo apt-get install ssh"  , so would it be "sudo apt-get remove ssh" ?
[02:34] <comfortsuites> I just did 'sudo update-grub' and I'm not dual-booting, will i see the grub menu now when i boot? and if so how do i reverse what i just did
[02:35] <Monotoko> TheCyph3r, perhaps...I can't quite remember at the moment
[02:35] <alazare619> im having a problem im on xubuntu but i dont have the shared folders icon can someone help me?
[02:36] <alazare619> im trying to setup a few smb shares nothing over the top or complex like virtual directorys (gadmin-samba)
[02:36] <TheCyph3r> monotoko: well, I can try a few things. And if nothing works, I can always come back in here and bug people with my newbie questions :P
[02:36] <Monotoko> TheCyph3r, it's all part of the learning process :)

[02:39] <TheCyph3r> monotoko: I wish there was an "end all be all" book that I could read and just know as much as possible :/
[02:39] <alazare619> comfortsuites,  hold down shift
[02:39] <alazare619> comfortsuites, to see grub
[02:39] <comfortsuites> what?
[02:39] <comfortsuites> im not trying to see grub and im not dual booting
[02:40] <comfortsuites> I just did 'sudo update-grub' and I'm not dual-booting, will i see the grub menu now when i boot? and if so how do i reverse what i just did
[02:40] <alazare619> comfortsuites,  update grub.cfg time to 0 and it wont show then
[02:43] <alazare619>  for some reason i dont have the shared folders icon under start menu > system > shared folders im trying to setup a few smb shares nothing over the top or complex like virtual directorys (gadmin-samba)

[02:44] <TheCyph3r> Noobish question, but is Nautilus essentially the counterpart to Windows Explorer?
[02:45] <lunarblaze> basicly yes :p
[02:45] <TheCyph3r> Ahh, okay...lol still learning!
[02:45] <lunarblaze> heres a cool trick
[02:46] <lunarblaze> in a console, type gksudo nautilus for unrestricted file access

[02:48] <lunarblaze> still cant get this mini card to format -.-
[02:48] <spencer__> to answer my own question. use your   for cisco-linksys e1000 browser to make the setup.
[02:48] <TheCyph3r> lunarblaze: what does that do?
[02:48] <lunarblaze> you know how some files cant be messed with cause of permissions?
[02:48] <lunarblaze> this lets you get around that
[02:49] <lunarblaze> opens a window, and the window can modify anything
[02:49] <TheCyph3r> ahh
[02:49] <spencer__> to answer my own question. use your   browser to make the setup for cisco-linksys e1000 .

[02:54] <TheCyph3r> qin: Thanks! I'll check all that out

[02:55] <Shaba1> specifically is it possible to get the multiple channles that one is on into seperate windows rather then tabs at the bottom?
[02:55] <Shaba1> Yeah I tried the qin
[02:55] <qin> Internetpc: sudo apt-get install samba
[02:55] <TheCyph3r> "detach" ?
[02:56] <lunarblaze> qin: it returned this The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
[02:56] <lunarblaze> filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
[02:56] <lunarblaze> filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
[02:56] <lunarblaze> is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
[02:56] <lunarblaze>     e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
[02:56] <FloodBot1> lunarblaze: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:58] <Lal-Ohlal> hi
[02:58] <Lal-Ohlal> how do I delete a hidden folder in Ubuntu?
[02:59] <lunarblaze> ctrl+h to see it
[02:59] <Lal-Ohlal> thanks mate
 : First unhide a hidden folder by Ctrt+H and delete it normally..
[02:59] <Lal-Ohlal> cheers
[02:59] <kevvooo> grub recover>      anyone??
[02:59] <lunarblaze> Lal-Ohlal: if it has permissions locked use gksudo nautilus in a command line
[03:00] <tauntaun> I'm having trouble getting modifier keys (ALT, CTRL, etc.) to behave consistently across clients, and also to behave in the specific ways I want them to.  (E.g., sometimes ALT is the Escape key).  Does one address this only with xmodmap, or are there also other layers of X (or of the OS) that should be tweaked/set?
[03:00] <nit-wit> kevvooo, what's up
[03:00] <Lal-Ohlal> how do i look
[03:01] <kevvooo> i deleted ubuntu the other day incorrectly i think, now when i boot up i get a "no such partition" then "grub recover>"

[03:02] <kevvooo> well, originally windows 7, now im just running off of the live cd
[03:02] <Lal-Ohlal> gracias
[03:02] <Lal-Ohlal> bonita
[03:02] <qin> Internetpc: sudo apt-get install -d samba , will download .deb and you can find them in apt cache.
[03:02] <Lal-Ohlal> senorita

[03:03] <kevvooo> well.. yes.. i deleted the partition that ubuntu was on and left the main partition with win7
[03:03] <chronos00> @qin @internetpc would you need to download dependencies as well?
[03:03] <Internetpc> qin : where can I find it ?? pl tell me the path..
[03:03] <kevvooo> it was fine until i rebooted
[03:03] <JoAnneThrax> Hey all.  Did someone say something to me between, say, 5:30CST and 6:45CST on here?  I got a highlight that someone said my name, but it scrolled off my log.
[03:03] <nit-wit> kevvooo, well grub is of no use with a OS, but we can get W7 up and running.
[03:03] <nit-wit> kevvooo, sorry without a OS
[03:03] <JoAnneThrax> That would be, like 4.5 hours ago.
[03:04] <nit-wit> kevvooo, grub needs a linux OS to run basically.
[03:04] <kevvooo> ok...
[03:04] <dante123> hi all, wondering if it is wise or not to have swap file on internal sd drive (will swap file wear it out prematurely)
[03:04] <dante123> this is on a dell mini 9
[03:05] <TheCyph3r> is there any way to TURN OFF ssh? or do I just uninstall?
[03:05] <dante123> with tiny hard drive
 : Ok
[03:05] <nit-wit> kevvooo, if you have a windows disc we can restore W7, or install lilo a bootloader that will boot W7.
[03:05] <dante123> drive which is really sd card
[03:05] <qin> Internetpc: What about: find / -type f -name "*.deb"
[03:05] <kevvooo> yeah thats the issue, i never had a w7 disc
[03:05] <qin> Internetpc: add proper -atime and you are home
[03:06] <qin> Internetpc: With sudo...

[03:06] <slide> I have an remote headless ubuntu server that I would like to backup. Essentially I want to transfer the entire harddrive to my local computer as an image of some sort. How can I do this with the machine running?
[03:06] <dante123> any problems installing to internal sd drive and NOT having a swap file (I heard swap will wear the sd drive out)  is that true?
[03:06] <Obeyance> Ok im almost done with a CHroot to reinstall grub. Im stuck on unmounting things. It says that /dev and /mnt "Device is busy."
[03:07] <qin> Shaba1: You mean split window?
[03:07] <Shaba1> yes
[03:07] <Internetpc> qin : I am unable to get it
[03:07] <Obeyance> should i just restart anyway?
[03:07] <JoAnneThrax> FiremanEd: Thanks!
[03:07] <Shaba1> qin hold on i just spilled
[03:07] <Obeyance> because after umount commands is sudo reboot.
[03:07] <dante123> any problems installing to internal sd drive and NOT having a swap file (I heard swap will wear the sd drive out)  is that true?
[03:08] <upgrdman> anyone know of a netbook with a touchscreen other than the dell duo? must be a netbook ... needs to be lightweight with 7+ hours of battery life (which the dell doesnt meet)
[03:08] <Obeyance> Or is it imperitive that i unmount EVERYTHING first?

[03:09] <TheCyph3r> monotoko: strange, I'm trying the   /etc/init.d/ssh stop   command, but it didnt work
[03:09] <Shaba1> you can press it and all the channel windows that you have open will neatly arrange themselves within the main mirc window
[03:09] <dante123> ActionParsnip any problems installing to internal sd drive and NOT having a swap file (I heard swap will wear the sd drive out)  is that true?
[03:09] <Shaba1> that is what I am talking about
[03:09] <Obeyance> Im so close to fixing it... i just dont know about this issue.
[03:09] <TheCyph3r> monotoko: I tried adding sudo to it, and it returned something strange
[03:10] <JoAnneThrax> Oh...it was just spam with a bunch of people's names attached.  How annoying.
[03:11] <Internetpc> qin : wait..
[03:11] <Obeyance> =(

[03:12] <qin> Obeyance: Repeat reall quertion? lsof to see open files, maybe this why it is busy.
[03:13] <qin> My typping sounds like: coffee.
[03:13] <Obeyance> I have completed 13 of 16 steps in a CHroot to reinstall grub. What im having an issue is when i try to umount /dev and /mnt it says that they are busy... But the only thing i have running is the terminal.
[03:13] <Obeyance> These are the last steps before restarting and fixed.
[03:14] <qin> Obeyance: /dev what?
[03:14] <Obeyance> sudo umount /mnt
[03:14] <Obeyance> for i in /sys /proc /dev/pts /dev; do sudo umount /mnt$i; done
[03:14] <Obeyance> gives me the /dev is busy.

[03:15] <Logan_> !away >derp|gone
[03:16] <mouse> to be clear would i be correct in saying that gpartition cannot do FAT16 and therefore i have to partition to a 4mb partition? i'm lost?
[03:16] <mouse> it's late
[03:16] <Obeyance> so would it be save to just reboot or do i need to wait for those to not be busy and unmount them?
[03:16] <Obeyance> Or... something.
[03:17] <Logan_> rww: ?

[03:20] <Shaba1> any ideas
[03:20] <Shaba1> ??
[03:20] <Obeyance> i had a huge list echo back but i dont know what it did.
[03:20] <onez> what is USB audio interface work in ubuntu? help me please
[03:20] <qin> Obeyance: Care to highlight?
[03:21] <Obeyance> Its just a bunch of stuff, want me to pastebin?
[03:21] <qin> Obeyance: me?
[03:21] <Obeyance> Im new to linux so i dont know much about this, i was just wanting to know if i needed to unmount those drives or w/e before i rebooted to see if grub is fixed =\
[03:22] <Obeyance> Yes qin, =).
[03:24] <qin> Obeyance: If you unmount you will be 100% sure that things are sasy. But reboot _propably_ will "fix" it anyway.
[03:24] <Obeyance> k cause its only /dev and /mnt that wont umount.
[03:25] <pawtracksrbxl> I keep geting this error when I try to install something from the app store. It keeps saying  Sorry, the  program "aptd" closed unexpectedly.
[03:25] <qin> Obeyance: What is still in: mount
[03:25] <Obeyance> Im gonna try to just reboot then. If it fails i guess i can always try try again.
[03:26] <Obeyance> The only thing mounted that i see is the 187GB filesystem which is sda3
[03:26] <qin> pawtracksrbxl: In terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgarde; sudo apt-get install -f
[03:26] <Obeyance> it wont unmount, says its busy.
[03:26] <Obeyance> So im guessing that is the reason that /dev and /mnt wont unmount.
[03:26] <Obeyance> And say theya re busy.
[03:26] <pawtracksrbxl> qin: Thanks
[03:26] <Obeyance> Might be a LIVECD bug...
[03:27] <Justin-home> anybody interested in answering an openvpn config question, running ubuntu server 64 in PM?
[03:28] <Obeyance> Im rebooting anyway. If its all fubared then i will just reinstall the whole lot i guess.
[03:28] <Obeyance> No data on the drive other then the OS and user settings.
[03:28] <qin> Obeyance: Finger croseed
[03:29] <Obeyance> Grub is operational... and light purple =\
[03:29] <Obeyance> lol
[03:29] <pawtracksrbxl> The new ubuntu interface is hard to use
[03:29] <pawtracksrbxl> :/
[03:30] <Obeyance> yeah i didnt like it either.

[03:34] <qin> stephenthemartyr: Exactly.
[03:34] <c0d> ops, mals, pensei que já estava no #ubuntu-br
[03:35] <tianrific> hey , I just install ubuntu to my laptop , and there are two OS on my computer now -- ubuntu and win7. after I installed ubuntu, my computer's wireless receiver stopped working. does anyone know how to shoot this trouble ?
[03:35] <stephenthemartyr> i have ubuntu studio and earlier some kinda graphics x crash happened and now jack had like 100 x-runs in 5 minutes and very high cpu even tho it was fine last night,not sure if this is a good place to ask or not
[03:36] <[THC]AcidRain> tianrific: ive AWLAYS had problems out of ubuntu handling my wifi card
[03:36] <mystiqueba> tianrific: which version do you have installed?
[03:37] <tianrific> I have 10.04 installed
[03:37] <iDRINKbLEACH> tianrific I have same problem, i am eager to read any posted soutions
[03:37] <dbruns> I'm having trouble using Wine with Ubuntu 11.04.. I've got a Radeon 5870 video card and I'm using the driver that ubuntu recommended.   WHen I try to install SC2 (which is supposed to work very well in wine), I see the windows, but no buttons or animations.    Could this be a driver issue?   Would an Nvidia 9500GT (my other video card) work better with Ubuntu?
[03:38] <tianrific> the wierd thing is when I have only win7, wifi works fine
[03:38] <dbruns> How is the video Driver in Ubuntu 11.04 configured? I'd like to try the one I downloaded from ATI's site
[03:38] <tianrific> but after I have ubuntu. wifi does not work on either os
[03:38] <computer_> hi! I'm using 11.04. In the last month i keep being ask to enter a password before i am connected to the local network at home even though the laptop is set to automatically login on start-up anyone know why his started and how to fix?
[03:38] <mystiqueba> I am no expert but I had the same problem and it almost drove me nuts
[03:39] <nit-wit> stephenthemartyr, I would think you're okay here there is also a #ubuntustudio   channel
[03:39] <dbruns> tianrific, are you certain you didn't bump the switch on the side of your laptop to turn wireless on/off?
[03:39] <iDRINKbLEACH> tianrific same here I have winxp and ubuntu 11,04
[03:39] <mystiqueba> what I did was to upgrade to 11.04 and then it worked
[03:39] <tianrific> I am sure I have the switch on
[03:39] <stephenthemartyr> what do you mean ok?
[03:39] <TheCyph3r> is there any way to verify my freenode pw BEFORE getting in here? :P
[03:39] <TooTall> this is a popular chat room
[03:39] <dbruns> TheCyph3r, what IRC client are you using?
[03:39] <qin> tianrific: rfkill list
[03:40] <TheCyph3r> dbruns: XChat
[03:40] <tianrific> seems like the problem I have here is a very common one
[03:40] <nit-wit> stephenthemartyr, I'm not a admin I assume that your problem is appropriate for this channel

[03:43] <ubuntudude> nit-wit: TY
[03:43] <nit-wit> *terminal
[03:44] <nit-wit> ubuntudude, then sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:44] <tianrific> mystiqueba: what kind of update do I have to do ?
[03:44] <csdserver> tianrific - did you have to tell your router to clone an address in order to communicate with your modem?  you might have to do the same via your edit
[03:44] <dbruns> what is the firefox addon that lets me trick sites like adobe.com to think I'm on windows so they let me download windows software
[03:44] <tianrific> mystique: do I have to do it on both linux and windows ?
[03:44] <TheCyph3r> dbruns: perfect, that worked
[03:44] <mystiqueba> no
[03:45] <rww> dbruns: User Agent Switcher?
[03:45] <dbruns> Yes thanks!!
[03:45] <mystiqueba> with mine, I just upgraded the ubuntu to 11.04
[03:45] <computer_> anyone:hi! I'm using 11.04. In the last month i keep being ask to enter a password before i am connected to the local network at home even though the laptop is set to automatically login on start-up anyone know why his started and how to fix?
[03:45] <user> How can I see what type of usb my disks are plugged into?
[03:45] <mystiqueba> I have no idea why wifi didn't work on the previous version
[03:45] <Carlos> sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
[03:45] <Carlos> sudo do-release-upgrade
[03:46] <stephenthemartyr> any help would be oh so much appreciated,although i realize its busy here
[03:46] <tianrific> csdserver: my wifi card doesn't pick up any signals at all . the light is not even on
[03:46] <dbruns> rww, wanted to download photoshop and try it with wine, but it refused to let me since i'm not on windows :(..
[03:46] <csdserver> tianrific - and it works under you win7 boot?
[03:46] <dbruns> tianrific, if the light isn't on.. try switching the wireless switch on the laptop.
[03:47] <tianrific> csdserver: it works on win7 before I install ubuntu
[03:47] <qin> tianrific: Did you try: rfkill list; lspci; ifconfig?
[03:47] <redgone> hey guys, where is the audio device file? /dev/dsp isnt on my system
[03:47] <nit-wit> computer_, right click the network manager icon the edit click on the wireless, and click connect automatically
[03:47] <dli> redeyyez, /dev/snd/*
[03:47] <dli> redgone, /dev/snd/
[03:47] <redgone> thanks
[03:47] <tianrific> dbruns: I turned the switch on , but the light is still off
[03:48] <dbruns> tianrific, what model/brand laptop is it
[03:48] <tianrific> qin: I didn't try those commands . I don't have those commands on win7
[03:48] <qin> tianrific: /join ##windows
[03:48] <TheCyph3r> dli: I've got an SSH question for you now
[03:48] <csdserver> It might be something conflicting in your MBR that causes it to not initialize your device too.
[03:48] <tianrific> dbruns: it is lenovo
[03:48] <dbruns> tianrific, what model
[03:49] <csdserver> or switches something on when it should stay off...
[03:50] <dbruns> tianrific, have you tried plugging it in so you can get an internet connection and download the proper drivers??
[03:50] <tianrific> dbruns: it is zhaoyang E43L
[03:50] <dbruns> tianrific, yeah the wireless drivers won't be included for that one.. so you'll need to connect via ethernet to get them
[03:51] <tianrific> dbruns, but did wifi card stop working on win7 too ?
[03:51] <TheCyph3r> I've got an SSH question when someone has a chance
[03:51] <stephenthemartyr> is there another channel where i might be able to get help?
[03:51] <qin> !ask > TheCyph3r
[03:52] <dli> TheCyph3r, yes, always ask the channel, and do not ask to ask
[03:52] <csdserver> tianrific - which OS are you letting manage your boot, grub or win?
[03:53] <TheCyph3r> I removed SSH to shut it off, then found a script that can shut it off w/o removal. Reinstalled, now I can't run "ssh localhost"
[03:53] <tianrific> csdserver, I used grub
[03:53] <dli> TheCyph3r, sudo service ssh start
[03:54] <dbruns> tianrific, you may have to play around in your BIOS settings  and see if there is some sort of toggle switch for it
[03:54] <qin> TheCyph3r: Have you not remove it? You mean "uninstall"?
[03:54] <chome> is there a channel to discuss lmms?
[03:54] <TheCyph3r> dli: Thanks! That did the job
[03:55] <tianrific> dbruns, toggle switch for my boot setting ?
[03:55] <TheCyph3r> qin: I did an uninstall with  sudo apt-get remove ssh
[03:56] <qin> TheCyph3r: No biggie.
[03:56] <csdserver> tianrific - i'm going to suggest hooking up to a hard link to get updates/drivers etc if you haven't already.  if you have done that then inspect your bootlog and see if it's failing on detection or if it's even logged at all.
[03:57] <TheCyph3r> qin: I've been trying to get that fixed for a half hour now >.<
[03:57] <chome> is there a channel to discuss lmms?
[03:57] <qin> !alis
[03:57] <chome> im getting good, need some tips
[03:57] <csdserver> tianrific - did you let ubuntu manage your partition or did you do it yourself?
[03:58] <tianrific> csdserver, I let ubuntu managed my partition
[03:58] <stephenthemartyr> anyone familiar with a graphics x crash?
[03:58] <tianrific> csdserver, is that bad ?
[03:59] <csdserver> tianrific, usually not
[03:59] <stephenthemartyr> or know why it would cause jack to have x-runs?
[04:01] <matoy> why is there a game account?
[04:01] <matoy> in ubuntu server
[04:03] <ryty1> hiya

[04:04] <ryty1> I was able to get the driver installed during my last attempt, but I opened gparted and everything froze up
[04:04] <stephenthemartyr> how do i switch channels?

sorry to be so dumb but where do i put that?
[04:07] <naptastic> I'm compiling a custom kernel (which I've done many times before) and am getting a new error: dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-image-3.0.0-rc7-rt0 not in control info

[04:08] <stephenthemartyr> ok

[04:08] <luckysmack> my main desktop is ubuntu natty. which will be the main workstation. Another ubuntu desktop in my living room, and a windows laptop. what would be the best way to setup filesharing between the 3 over the network? i have 2 x 2TB external drives on my main workstation i would like to be able to share with my livingroom computer to play movies off the drive. similarly with the laptop
[04:08] <naptastic> I've googled and it seems to have to do with a change in kpkg, config-auto-append, --append-to-version, and the kernel config option for appending version information.
[04:08] <nit-wit> stephenthemartyr, no problem.
[04:08] <luckysmack> ive seen multiple articles on how to do it but im not sure of the best way to set it up
[04:08] <naptastic> Since that's a lot of variables to independently check, I wonder if anyone here has solved it already?
[04:10] <stephenthemartyr> is this ubuntu studio channel?
[04:10] <share> !studio
[04:10] <share> stephenthemartyr: #ubuntustudio
[04:11] <ubuntudude> is their ubuntu studio wubi?
[04:11] <nit-wit> stephenthemartyr, it would be /join "#ubuntustudio"   without the quotes

[04:17] <blade> how is the new ubuntu 11 4 with dual vid cards on unity?
[04:18] <blade> from what i have read on unity i am a little gun shy to go to the 11 4
[04:18] <nit-wit> harrumph, for your pleasure.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN99jshaQbY
[04:20] <harrumph> nit-wit: :)
[04:21] <blade> no thoughts on unity?
[04:22] <louzer> When I ran Ubuntu 11.04 CD installer, I cannot see the GUI if I choose to install/use live CD.
[04:22] <IsmAvatar> blade: my thoughts are it should have been kept in incubation for another 2 years :-p
[04:22] <louzer> Can anyone help?
[04:22] <blade> lol
[04:22] <blade> so i should not make the jump to 11 4
[04:22] <blade> what graphics card do you run louzer
[04:23] <IsmAvatar> blade: If you value Gnome 2, you'd be wise to stick with 10
[04:23] <louzer> nvidia.. something every high end
[04:23] <blade> onboard?
[04:23] <louzer> blade: wait
[04:23] <TheCyph3r> nit-wit: I was going to post that!
[04:23] <IsmAvatar> louzer: does it have an actual card, or is it just a chipset that came with the mobo
[04:24] <nit-wit> louzer, boot the cd ho;d down the shift at the gui if you get one hit f6 then nomodeset then bot
[04:24] <louzer> hi all, i have an actual card GeForce GT 330
[04:24] <louzer> nit-wit: what does that do
[04:24] <nit-wit> louzer, it is a lowgraphics mode
[04:25] <louzer> nit-wit: thanks
[04:25] <louzer> blade: thanks for asking
[04:25] <louzer> IsmAvatar: thanks for asking
[04:25] <blade> np
[04:25] <nit-wit> louzer, you will need the nomodeset command on the reboot from the install but in the kernel line, to get you in to install your driver for the card
[04:26] <IsmAvatar> Looking for a little help with Flash applications. They tend to show black regions, like the refreshing is all wrong or something.  Thanks.
[04:27] <nit-wit> IsmAvatar, I think it is flash aid
[04:28] <nit-wit> space in the words
[04:28] <blade> yes nit-wit
[04:28] <IdleOne> !language | louzer
[04:28] <blade> just do a search in the add on's for firefox
[04:29] <IsmAvatar> blade: pretty sure I'm running 32 bit everything. Should have done 64 bit probably, since this is a beast of a computer, so I'm probably just holding it back >_>
[04:30] <blade> what cpu you run ismavatar
[04:31] <IsmAvatar> oh, it is 64 bit firefox, according to flash-aid
[04:32] <IsmAvatar> blade: you'll have to help me find that info. It's not like I can just type "cpu" in unity and expect to get an answer anymore :-p
[04:32] <blade> are the red messages private?
[04:32] <rww> blade: no, they're in-channel messages that start with your nick.
[04:33] <DamnSoGooD> could somebody teach me how to install ubuntu 10.04 into a sub stick/pendrive?
[04:33] <blade> ahh
[04:33] <blade> ok thank you
[04:33] <DamnSoGooD> usb*
[04:33] <IsmAvatar> DamnSoGooD: from what OS?
[04:33] <blade> ismavatar type lscpu in terminal
[04:33] <IsmAvatar> lscpu, figures they'd name it something simple like that. First thing I tried was lspci
[04:34] <blade> damnsogood use unetbootin
[04:34] <DamnSoGooD> IsmAvatar, ubuntu 10.04 because my SSD is very unpredictable now, maybe it's wore down already
[04:34] <TheCyph3r> Are there any advantages of using Nautilus over Thunar?
[04:35] <IsmAvatar> DamnSoGooD: there are instructions on the Download page: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[04:35] <blade> damnsogood what brand of thumb drive do you have
[04:35] <louzer> nit-wit: that doesnt help
[04:35] <DamnSoGooD> kingston II
[04:35] <blade> file format?
[04:35] <louzer> nit-wit: nomodset causes the same problem. the installer tries blinks trying to start GUI
[04:35] <louzer> nit-wit: and fails
[04:36] <blade> damnsogood use unetbootin
[04:36] <IsmAvatar> blade: yeah, it says it's x86_64 architecture Intel
[04:36] <DamnSoGooD> anything
[04:36] <nit-wit> louzer, not sure beyond that but this is the channel to find out.
[04:36] <blade> ismavatar how much ram do you run on there?
[04:36] <louzer> nit-wit: thanks
[04:36] <DamnSoGooD> it's for a live usb not a substitute for a \harddrive
[04:37] <gogeta> IsmAvatar: that normaly mean 64 bit
[04:37] <IsmAvatar> blade: found it. 5.6 GiB memory, 2x Pentium Dual Core CPU @ 2.5 GHz ea.
[04:37] <blade> damnsogood yes unetbootin will make your flash drive act just like an install CD
[04:37] <DamnSoGooD> i'm not asking for making a live USb, what i'm asking is how to install ubuntu into usb drive
[04:38] <gogeta> IsmAvatar: dule core is 64bit unless its p3d
[04:38] <IsmAvatar> DamnSoGooD: oh, sorry. Disregard me then.
[04:38] <gogeta> p4d
[04:38] <Guest79909> IsmAvatar: wow, your devices so stronge.
[04:38] <louzer> hi all, does anyone know why would ubuntu 11.04 installer have trouble starting up its GUI when I have an nvidia GeForce GT 330. I tried nomodeset and that did not help either
[04:38] <blade> ismavatar yea i would be willing to bet your running x64 ib on all of it
[04:39] <TheCyph3r> Are there any advantages of using Nautilus over Thunar?
[04:39] <blade> damnsogood you can also use unetbootin to install it on the pen drive and it will act like a small SSD
[04:39] <gogeta> louzer: did you just answer your own question
[04:39] <louzer> gogeta: how
[04:39] <gogeta> louzer: you said will it have issues then said its not working
[04:40] <IsmAvatar> blade: I used a 32 bit ubuntu install CD, iirc
[04:40] <blade> gogeta he has been in and out of here working on this same problem for some time now
[04:40] <DamnSoGooD> blade, but it is still just a live usb taking long to boot, what i want is a permanent install into a USB stick
[04:40] <louzer> gogeta: yes i did reboot to try to install and now im back
[04:40] <gogeta> louzer: your best chance would install it text mode then install the nivida drivers by hand
[04:41] <blade> ismavatar are you in 11 4?
[04:41] <IsmAvatar> blade: yes
[04:41] <louzer> gogeta: hw to install in text mode
[04:41] <gogeta> louzer: if nevu is bugging out
[04:41] <IsmAvatar> unfortunately
[04:41] <gogeta> louzer: alt install cd
[04:41] <blade> damnsogood that is the only way to install on a pen drive that i know of
[04:41] <louzer> gogeta: at boot prompt?
[04:42] <gogeta> louzer: its a diffrent iso with a cli installer
[04:42] <louzer> gogeta: oh got it
[04:42] <blade> ismavatar i am not sure but i think that even if you had the 32 bit it may have upgraded on a update to x64 i think it was 11 4 that i was reading about that was doing that
[04:42] <rww> There is no way to go from 32-bit to 64-bit without reinstalling, so no.
[04:43] <blade> ok
[04:43] <tofa> Hi
[04:43] <bluebird> yep, that's truth.
[04:43] <DamnSoGooD> ok, if that's so, alternatively how can i restore my SSD back to its almost factory condition?
[04:43] <blade> ismavatar then you must have used a x64 install
[04:44] <blade> define "factory condition"
[04:44] <DamnSoGooD> to its original state
[04:44] <blade> original state as in file format?
[04:45] <DamnSoGooD> yes, and there are still files that I cannot delete
[04:45] <blade> what os
[04:45] <blade> Nix or M$
[04:46] <DamnSoGooD> just file systems that still appears in testdisk
[04:46] <IsmAvatar> blade/nit-wit: beautiful. Flash-aid fixed it. Thanks a bunch.
[04:46] <nit-wit> IsmAvatar, cool.
[04:46] <TheCyph3r> Are there any advantages of using Nautilus over Thunar?
[04:46] <blade> damnsogood i understand what you want to do with the drive but what os will you be in when you do the format?
[04:46] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: umm format
[04:47] <DamnSoGooD> ubuntu 10.04
[04:47] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: are you asking how to totaly dod the drive?
[04:47] <xangua> TheCyph3r: advantages of what¿
[04:47] <tofa> My windows partition has disappeared from grub. Can anyone help?
[04:47] <DamnSoGooD> yes
[04:47] <TheCyph3r> xangua: any sort of advantages
[04:47] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: use the dban live cd
[04:47] <xangua> .....
[04:47] <DamnSoGooD> it just failed
[04:48] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: dban did?
[04:48] <blade> damnsogood system admin disk utility
[04:48] <blade> you can format to any file format you want from there
[04:48] <nit-wit> tofa, any activities beforehand, updates in windows or ubuntu...etc
[04:48] <xangua> TheCyph3r: nautilus us a submarine, thunar a hammer, you can destroy submarines with hammerd
[04:48] <xangua> advantage ;)
[04:49] <nit-wit> tofa, have you run sudo update-grub in a terminal?
[04:49] <DamnSoGooD> it seems to be locked
[04:49] <blade> thecyph3r when in doubt install both and try them out.... they are both free
[04:49] <tofa> No I don't think so.
[04:49] <vivekimsit> Which is the best video downloader for ubuntu..?
[04:49] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: dban will kill any data on the drive
[04:49] <xangua> !best | vivekimsit TheCyph3r
[04:49] <nit-wit> tofa, try the suso update-grub command first
[04:50] <nit-wit> *sudo
[04:50] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: just rember it destorys all data
[04:50] <tofa> After it happened I ran sudo fdisk -l in terminal and there is now s star under the boot column for windows.
[04:50] <DamnSoGooD> one time, my SSD with unallocated space does not shows its free and unused space in gparted
[04:50] <tomek_> anyone can recommend visual HTML editor?
[04:51] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: http://www.dban.org/
[04:51] <DamnSoGooD> then the other time, my SSD won't show up in the boot order
[04:51] <blade> damnsogood in disk utility unmount the drive and delete partition then format.... it will be clean as the day it was made
[04:51] <nit-wit> tofa, the star is the boot flag
[04:52] <DamnSoGooD> what would you say about hdparm?
[04:52] <tofa> Nit-wit, I've run sudo update-grub
[04:52] <DamnSoGooD> and testdisk?
[04:52] <bluebird> tomek_: emacs
[04:52] <DamnSoGooD> and dban ? they cannot wipe out my SSD
[04:53] <DamnSoGooD> and my SSD is still a snail
[04:53] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: shure can just use a single pasa to not have a ton of rights
[04:53] <nit-wit> tofa,  crun this script and pastebin the generated text file.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[04:53] <nit-wit> 8run
[04:53] <nit-wit> well
[04:53] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: or boot a ubuntu live cd sudo gparted delete all partation make new ones
[04:53] <nit-wit> * run geez
[04:54] <DamnSoGooD> god! what do you thing about dban? what is a monster bomb? gparted or dban?
[04:55] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: dban is a dod disk gparted will just reformat it
[04:55] <DamnSoGooD> do you know a SSD?
[04:56] <gogeta> DamnSoGooD: yep have a netbook with one they tend not to be as bad as hdd when it comes to being able to recover data
[04:56] <blade> damnsogood what size of flash drive (ssd) are you using
[04:56] <DamnSoGooD> its a 8g internal ata SSD
[04:56] <blade> gogeta what's that take of the netbook about 20 pounds lol
[04:57] <gogeta> blade: eepc 900a its a very light netbook
[04:57] <tomek_> who uses virtualBOX?
[04:57] <DamnSoGooD> join #vbox tomek
[04:57] <blade> it should not be slow then i ran ubuntu 9.10 from my 8gig flash drive for almost a year when it first came out
[04:58] <gogeta> blade: did say it was
[04:58] <gogeta> blade: didnt
[04:58] <blade> tomek i have used it
[04:59] <gogeta> blade: the drive itsself is slow but i use btrfs with the whoe fs compressed and its fast
[04:59] <blade> gogeta a SSD in a netbook would be much lighter than a HDD or would that not be true?
[04:59] <genewitch> my computer makes really weird noises when i run ubuntu; from inside the case. Like when i hover over an image on a website or open a program
[05:00] <gogeta> blade: very light abought as heavy as a internel wifi card heh not even a pound
[05:00] <gogeta> blade: i think the wole laptop is 2 pounds
[05:01] <blade> gogeta i have not used a laptop in about 6 years no so light then lol
[05:01] <nit-wit> genewitch, sounds possessed you got any holy water.;)
[05:01] <solomonic> hey i have a question..
[05:01] <gogeta> blade: and zlib compressed ubuntu install is like 1gb on a 4gb ssd thats very nice
[05:01] <solomonic> i'm trying to unlock my account
[05:01] <Phr3d13> genewitch, sounds like hard drive issues, back up your documents/data and get a new hard drive
[05:01] <solomonic> i accidently clicked the lock button on the bottom of the " my account "
[05:01] <genewitch> Phr3d13: no it's not the drive, i know what that sound is, it's not it.
[05:02] <solomonic> any suggestions? i've tried my pw i used to log into my computer, didn't work
[05:02] <genewitch> it sounds like the power conditioner circuit
[05:02] <nit-wit> solomonic, you don't know your password
[05:02] <genewitch> something in that area
[05:02] <anon84687676798> genewitch: the fan?
[05:02] <solomonic> i do, but i already had it so iw ouldn't have to use it to login
[05:02] <genewitch> anon84687676798: no, no fans, but it does sound close to something hitting a fan blade gently
[05:02] <solomonic> and I clicked the lock button on the bottom by accident.
[05:02] <gogeta> solomonic: you can boot into single user reovery mode and set a new pass
[05:02] <idlemind324> does anyone have any tips for installing 10.04 lts to a usb drive and booting from that usb drive?
[05:03] <genewitch> idlemind324: unetbootin... it even has the ability to give persistent storage
[05:03] <solomonic> lemme try gogeta
[05:03] <gogeta> idlemind324: as a install mediea or as a os
[05:03] <idlemind324> genewitch: does it work on ubuntu server
[05:04] <DBordello> If I wanted to install TO a usb drive just like it was a regular HD, can I put the installation media on USB drive A and then just launch the installation and select USB drive B as the target?
[05:04] <bluebird> idlemind324: i installed on a mobile hard driver.
[05:04] <idlemind324> gogeta: i want to use the usb drive (thumb drive) in place of a traditional hard disk
[05:04] <DBordello> idlemind324, that sounds familiar
[05:04] <genewitch> DBordello: er, unetbootin will allow you to save files and use the livecd environment permanently.
[05:04] <nit-wit> DBordello, yes just make sure grub is pointed at the usb you're installing to , that is in the custom setup
[05:04] <genewitch> DBordello: you don't want a regular system on a thumb drive
[05:04] <DamnSoGooD> sorry, but none here knows :D i've already asked the,
[05:04] <gogeta> idlemind324: just slect the usb drive as the install media then as well as tell it to put grub on the usb drive
[05:05] <blade> idlemind you can use unetbootin to do that i ran an os like that for over a year
[05:05] <Guest57503> hmm quick question
[05:05] <DBordello> genewitch, why not?
[05:05] <Guest57503> i cant watch any videos on my ubuntu
[05:05] <genewitch> DBordello: swap will kill the drive itself
[05:05] <genewitch> Guest57503: any videos or web videos
[05:05] <nit-wit> fud
[05:05] <gogeta> idlemind324: yea unetbootin can also setup a prestent install alot easer
[05:05] <Guest57503> like dvd video
[05:05] <idlemind324> thanks. i've seen lots of notes on running the desktop os as a live cd on your thumb drive but nothing i was able to find said i could install the server os to it
[05:05] <genewitch> Guest57503: you need ugly gstreamer, hold on
[05:05] <bluebird> Guest57503: u have to install media lib.
[05:05] <Phr3d13> !dvd
[05:05] <DBordello> What happens on a live system when it needs to swap?
[05:06] <Guest57503> ohhh okay
[05:06] <Guest57503> im new
[05:06] <Guest57503> to linux
[05:06] <idlemind324> so far i've ran through the install but when i install grub to my usb drive (/dev/sda for me) i don't get an error it just hangs after i select boot from usb
[05:06] <tofa> Nit-wit, Sorry about the delay the internet went down here. Where should I pastebin the textfile?
[05:06] <genewitch> Guest57503: in software center do gst-plugins-ugly
[05:06] <nit-wit> DBordello, that is not true anymore thumbs last longer
[05:06] <DBordello> genewitch, so you think going with a live system with persistent storage is better?
[05:06] <genewitch> DBordello: assuredly
[05:06] <gogeta> idlemind324: just slect prestent on the options hehe
[05:06] <nit-wit> tofa, http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[05:06] <idlemind324> where do i  get that app gogeta?
[05:07] <ParkerR> Hey
[05:07] <gogeta> idlemind324: its for windows and linux
[05:07] <gogeta> idlemind324: in the repos for linux
[05:07] <Arcademan> Is there any other channel besides #ubuntu like #ubuntu-devel?
[05:07] <genewitch> idlemind324:
[05:07] <gogeta> idlemind324: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[05:07] <Guest57503> no media lib came up..
[05:07] <genewitch> idlemind324: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[05:07] <genewitch> idlemind324: that one?
[05:08] <tofa> nit-wit, here's the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/649692/
[05:08] <nit-wit> thanks holdon tofa
[05:08] <genewitch> Guest57503: search for ugly it's called "GStreamer extra plugins"
[05:08] <Guest57503> oh i see it
[05:08] <bluebird> sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
[05:08] <gogeta> idlemind324: where it says space to reserve for multi reboots
[05:09] <Guest57503> thank you
[05:09] <gogeta> idlemind324: set that up and usb mobile distro
[05:09] <genewitch> rebooting to windows, talk to you folks tomorrow
[05:09] <DBordello> So I guess the decision is whether I want a regular installtion or "live" system on my USB key.  Pros/Cons?
[05:09] <genewitch> DBordello: the livecd is guaranteed to boot more than once
[05:10] <genewitch> DBordello: with no fuss and no grub config
[05:10] <gogeta> DBordello: grub tends to have a hart attack when you change pcs usb drive or not'
[05:10] <DBordello> gogeta, it will remain on the same machine.  Headless/diskless machine
[05:10] <gogeta> DBordello: then you can do nativ no issue
[05:10] <DBordello> genewitch, what does the live system do when it needs to swap out?
[05:10] <genewitch> DBordello: crash, but why would it need to swap
[05:11] <jen_> hello all
[05:11] <DBordello> genewitch, low on ram?
[05:11] <Guest97451> is there any RAM reader software for ubuntu?
[05:11] <genewitch> DBordello: you might be better off with a compact flash card, is this a laptop?
[05:11] <blade> lmao @ genwitch
[05:11] <DBordello> genewitch, no, desktop.
[05:11] <gogeta> genewitch: not true ubuntu has a toram option if you got enough ram
[05:11] <idlemind324> ok so i got that app installed
[05:11] <genewitch> DBordello: for under $5 you can get a kit to make CF into normal IDE
[05:11] <nit-wit> tofa, I think you may not be aware of the scroll feature in the grub menu, it shows in the bootscipt in the os-prober. Have you scrolled all the way to the bottom?
[05:11] <idlemind324> it's going through the paces atm
[05:11] <gogeta> genewitch: so you can load the entire os in ram
[05:11] <genewitch> gogeta: right but that's not swap
[05:12] <DBordello> i am a little worried about the amount of ram as well
[05:12] <idlemind324> we shall see if it works. i'm interested in doing this to some kind of compact flash if possible down the line. i kind of like how you can buy a dell server with a cf chip them and load the cf up with esxi
[05:12] <genewitch> DBordello: use additional thumb drives as swap
[05:12] <tofa> Yes, I think I have. All the partitions have been accessible before....
[05:12] <genewitch> DBordello: mkswap /dev/sd<thumbdriveletter
[05:12] <DBordello> genewitch, why would a CF be better?  Besides being able to be IDE
[05:12] <gogeta> DBordello: well if you go nativ you need to install on that system or grub will choke and die
[05:12] <DBordello> genewitch, okay.  Any reason I can't have that all on the same device?
[05:13] <genewitch> DBordello: faster, for a start. and it is an IDE drive, so linux loves it more than a USB drive.
[05:13] <tofa> Nit-wit, I can try booting into windows again and see if works.
[05:13] <DBordello> gogeta, that is what I was planning
[05:13] <gogeta> DBordello: using a usb drive is fine eyther way just slect it
[05:13] <DBordello> Do the live systems with persistent storage allow package installation, configurations, etc.
[05:13] <genewitch> DBordello: you can have it all on the same device but thumb drives aren't that fast to begin with. i dunno, give it a shot, but DD your device from another machine when you're done setting it up
[05:13] <gogeta> DBordello: i recomond btrfs with the ssd option on
[05:13] <nit-wit> tofa, you have 7 kernel sets, it should be there. You have run the update-grub XP would not be there if it was not in the grub menu
[05:14] <genewitch> DBordello: yes they allow apt-get (i run backtrack on persistent usb)
[05:14] <tofa> Nit-wit,  Yes, I think I have. All the partitions have been accessible before....
[05:14] <DBordello> gogeta, didn't even think about that.  Any reason why?
[05:14] <gogeta> DBordello: sd drives tend to need the same ruleset less writing to the drive longer life span
[05:14] <tofa> Nit-wit, I'll give it a go then. Thanks for your help.
[05:14] <genewitch> gogeta: and swap is lots of writing
[05:14] <DBordello> genewitch.  How does that work?  / isn't saved on reboot, right?
[05:14] <genewitch> gogeta: whcih is why i recommend another thumb drive :-)
[05:14] <gogeta> DBordello: no swap
[05:14] <genewitch> DBordello: yeah, it's persistent
[05:15] <nit-wit> tofa, to be honest the "I think I have is not enough for me" run the update-grub command and look closely XP will be there I suspect, scroll to the bottom of the terminal
[05:15] <gogeta> DBordello: i genrelly dont have any issue running ubuntu without swap on a 4gb ssd
[05:15] <genewitch> gogeta: 4gb?
[05:15] <genewitch> gogeta: server?
[05:15] <gogeta> genewitch: netbook with btrfs ssd and compressed
[05:15] <genewitch> i have half a mind to drop ubuntu on an older laptop on a 4gb CF (i have xp on it right now)
[05:15] <DBordello> no swap sounds dangerous to me
[05:15] <genewitch> btrfs?
[05:15] <gogeta> genewitch: whole os installed size 700mb hehe
[05:15] <genewitch> DBordello: the machine i am talking to you fromhas no swap
[05:16] <genewitch> DBordello: and 640mb of ram
[05:16] <DBordello> hmmm
[05:16] <DBordello> i can beat that
[05:16] <DBordello> barely
[05:16] <gogeta> genewitch: you have to trick the installer but it works
[05:16] <genewitch> DBordello: it means i have to restart a service every day, but other than that, it's cheap.
[05:16] <tofa> Nitwit, Yes it is there.
[05:16] <DBordello> hmmm
[05:17] <gogeta> DBordello: well 640mb on a server shouldent be a issue relly
[05:17] <nit-wit> tofa, so your set, you might clean out some of those kernels
[05:17] <genewitch> DBordello: wait, the irsii box is gentoo, no swap. it never crashes anything. the ubuntu box i am ssh'd into is the one that has a service silently die every day
[05:17] <DBordello> So, if the usb key remains with the same PC, I am hearing that there is no reason not to do a full install, and give er a little swap
[05:17] <blade> dbordello just pick up a small flash drive for swap
[05:17] <DBordello> I have a 8gb USB 3.0 drive that I am going to be using. I feel like that should be sufficient
[05:17] <genewitch> DBordello: if you do a single thumb drive, make sure you have a straight dd backup
[05:17] <genewitch> DBordello: just to save the trouble
[05:17] <DBordello> genewitch, good call
[05:18] <gogeta> DBordello: swaping on a sd drive just make it noit last as long
[05:18] <blade> dbordello it should be fine that is what i ran 9 10 for almost a year on was a 8 gig flash
[05:18] <genewitch> DBordello: and good luck. if it works for you i might try and make a server image that way
[05:18] <tofa> Nit-wit, I've always been slightly annoyed by the number of options grub gives me to boot into when I start up. How do I clean them out?
[05:18] <genewitch> blade: keen
[05:18] <rkj90266> can anyone tell me where to find a good linux program that will aggregate podcasts and sync them with a 5th gen ipod? Rhythmbox aggregates but can't sync, gtkpod is not being maintained, banshee crashes my ipod
[05:18] <Ali2000> hello all. I have 7300 gs nvidia graphic card ,, i have problem with it. the system do not recognize it , ii have test it on ubuntu 10.04 10.10 and natty , if i change to nvidia 8400 it will be solved?
[05:18] <gogeta> DBordello: as  long as you dont mind replacing the drive every few months have at it
[05:19] <Guest97451> is there any RAM reader software for ubuntu?
[05:19] <nit-wit> tofa, I use the easy method there is a app called ubuntu tweak that will do it easily. its not in the repos do you want a link
[05:19] <DBordello> gogeta, i see.  I'll give it a shot without swap
[05:19] <tofa> Nit-wit, That would be brilliant.
[05:19] <DBordello> and see how it feels
[05:19] <genewitch> rkj90266: i'm seeing stuff like "install itunes under wine"
[05:19] <genewitch> rkj90266: and a few ryhtmbox fixes
[05:19] <genewitch> rkj90266: did you get a ryhtmbox database error of any sort?
[05:20] <gogeta> DBordello: or get a relly cheap 1gb drive what are they these days 5$ and use it for swap
[05:20] <blade> nit-wit i have seen that but have never used it. do you like the results
[05:20] <genewitch> gogeta: aka readyboost
[05:20] <genewitch> DBordello: 4GB $8 :-D
[05:20] <DBordello> genewitch, true.
[05:20] <nit-wit> blade, yeah it is the easy gui way, I'm lazy
[05:20] <genewitch> i used a $5 thumb drive as swap when i was parsing wikipedia xmls
[05:21] <DBordello> I guess with a live system, it is setup to not be thrashing on the drive.  Would the "liveness" of it start to annoy me if I am installing stuff, etc?
[05:21] <blade> nit-wit sounds like what i need then cuz so am i lol
[05:21] <HackNewton> hay friends
[05:21] <gogeta> DBordello: couse even if you blow up swap the os will keep running and toss a new one in
[05:21] <rkj90266> genewitch yes, i get a whole series of "error: resource not found" messages when I try to sync
[05:21] <HackNewton> well i am big trouble here
[05:21] <HackNewton> i changed my CompizConfig settings and i lost my complete unity desktop
[05:22] <HackNewton> i cannot access anything at all
[05:22] <rkj90266> genewitch i would prefer to have a native linux program instead of itunes, and from what i have read it sounds like itunes is buggy
[05:22] <blade> hacknewton what is wrong with loosing unity lol
[05:22] <HackNewton> does anyone know how to undo those effects ?
[05:22] <genewitch> rkj90266: i am looking sir
[05:22] <HackNewton> blade, i cant access anything
[05:23] <gogeta> DBordello: but you said a server so your probly  not going to even need swap being your probly not going to be using tons of memery
[05:23] <genewitch> rkj90266: it seems like you're having an odd issue, perhaps submit a bug to rhythmbox maintainers?
[05:23] <blade> hacknewton log out and log back in before you put your password in at the lower rightish of the screen you can log in with different options
[05:23] <DBordello> gogeta, correct
[05:23] <genewitch> rkj90266: i'm getting 6 results on google for your exact issue
[05:23] <genewitch> and none have a solution
[05:23] <nit-wit> tofa, here is a web link just run the three commands it will pput it in your update sources list. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tweak-0-5-8-released-with-ubuntu-11-04-support.html
[05:23] <tofa> Nit-wit, Thanks for your help.
[05:24] <nit-wit> tofa, no problem.;)
[05:24] <ObrienDave> Ali2000: I would try a smaller number first.
[05:24] <HackNewton> blade, dude i am using desktop without effect option and i want my old normal desktop back
[05:24] <jay__> videoos still arnt playing..
[05:24] <jay__> videos*
[05:24] <gogeta> jay__: cough vlc
[05:24] <jay__> >.<
[05:24] <blade> hacknewton have you tried to log into your ubuntu unity desktop
[05:25] <Logan_> gogeta: feel better
[05:25] <HackNewton> blade, yes
[05:25] <gogeta> Logan_: yes i always love my video whont play question
[05:25] <blade> hacknewton you could also open your package manager and purge compiz
[05:25] <HackNewton> blade, it only shows my DVD drive icon its all
[05:25] <rkj90266> genewitch that's discouraging, surprising really that this is as hard as it is
[05:25] <Ali2000> any one here know how to run vlc as root ?
[05:25] <genewitch> PS i think it should be more apparent that you need to run an apt-get dist-upgrade if it says "packages held back"
[05:26] <gogeta> Ali2000: madness
[05:26] <Logan_> sudo vlc
[05:26] <Logan_> or gksudo vlc, I suppose
[05:26] <genewitch> rkj90266: i know your feelings, trust me. But the only way to fix it sometimes is to submit a bug to the maintainers so they can get it patched.
[05:26] <Ali2000> it show this : VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.
[05:26] <Ali2000> If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports
[05:26] <Ali2000> you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and
[05:26] <Ali2000> cannot be run by non-trusted users first).
[05:26] <FloodBot1> Ali2000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:26] <genewitch> gogeta: maybe he wants to vlc /dev/sda1
[05:27] <gogeta> genewitch: he should be able to acess read only even on that
[05:27] <genewitch> Ali2000: you trying to run it as a server?
[05:27] <gogeta> genewitch: enough for vlc to work
[05:27] <rkj90266> genewitch maybe i will try itunes and wine then
[05:27] <Ali2000> no
[05:27] <genewitch> Ali2000: then you don't need root
[05:27] <blade> nit-wit in 11 4 compiz and unity are not good friends is that right?
[05:27] <genewitch> rkj90266: good luck, sorry i couldn't help more. check back during united states daytime when someone who has one can help :-)
[05:28] <maalac> blade: yes ..it has lot of problem based on my experience
[05:28] <Ali2000> I am using root account in my ubuntu desktop
[05:28] <nit-wit> blade, it's a bit contankerous, but I use it.
[05:28] <gogeta> Ali2000: there is no root in ubuntu
[05:28] <gogeta> Ali2000: sudo only
[05:28] <HackNewton> blade, anyway you know how to access compize manager trough terminal
[05:28] <genewitch> Ali2000: ohhhhh.... useradd notroot & passwd notroot & su notroot
[05:28] <Ali2000> ok thanks :x
[05:28] <nit-wit> blade, I have the fusion icon in docky to fix it generally.
[05:29] <genewitch> gogeta: lies! i am logged in as root!
[05:29] <gogeta> genewitch: lol
[05:29] <blade> maalac nit-wit i am not running 11 4 and do not know much about terminal commands hacknewton has some problems
[05:29] <genewitch> ok i have to relog. bye.
[05:29] <gogeta> genewitch: you added it didnt you
[05:29] <genewitch> sudo shutdown -r now
[05:29] <nit-wit> HackNewton, ccsm
[05:29] <gogeta> genewitch: i just use halt
[05:29] <HackNewton> nit-wit, thanks
[05:30] <nit-wit> HackNewton, thats what we are here for no problem.;)
[05:30] <blade> i can see my first trip here will not be my last
[05:31] <Azerbaijao> what utility I can be use to intercept system calls called by a process ?
[05:31] <gogeta> blade: is that a thret
[05:31] <blade> gogeta lol it may be
[05:31] <maalac> nit-wit: try this one fusion-icon --no-start
[05:31] <blade> gogeta my first time ever in IRC
[05:32] <gogeta> blade: lol if you run linux you spend alot of time on it
[05:32] <maalac> gogeta: yes, i agree. it's like when you start a game and you won't stop until you get to the next mission
[05:33] <carlly> hey
[05:33] <nit-wit> maalac, I set up a launcher in home then dragged it to docky, I forget otherwise how I set it up. If Unity had a legit panel it would be there with options
[05:33] <blade> i used linux back in 9 10 now i'm getting back into it
[05:33] <gogeta> maalac: more like a mmo where it end even if you got all the endgame loot your helping the noobs

[05:39] <bazhang> carlly, ubuntu support question?
[05:39]  * YankDownUnder drinks beer
[05:39] <maalac> ActionParsnip: i didn't know that. thanks
[05:39] <YankDownUnder> WOW! It works? (sniggers)
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> maalac: e.g.   /me is on the bus to work
[05:40] <carlly> bazhang,what?
[05:40] <bazhang> carlly, this is ubuntu support. did you have a support question
[05:40] <YankDownUnder> Well, that answered that question.
[05:41] <mrk1> i was playing with samba and accidentally deleted some files and now i have lost the option to share files when i right click
[05:41] <napster> Is there any way to send a row request to a webserver without using a browser at all?
[05:41] <mrk1> can anyone please help
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> mrk1: reinstall the samba package. May help.
[05:42] <TheCyph3r> sudo apt-get remove samba
[05:42] <TheCyph3r> sudo apt-get install samba
[05:42] <bluebird> some one can recommand some funny games in linux?
[05:42] <TheCyph3r> is that right?
[05:42] <bazhang> !games > bluebird
[05:42] <YankDownUnder> TheCyph3r, Um...that's a bit drastic...
[05:42] <mrk1> the cyph3r i did that to no avail
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> TheCyph3r: easier is: sudo apt-get --reinstall install samba       both ways work
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> mrk1, You can install a Samba configuration too through the Package Manager and that will help you get yourself back on track without deleting/removing Samba.
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> Mrk1: do you have the same release on another system?
[05:44] <mrk1> actionparsnip no i dont
[05:44] <HackNewton> hi
[05:44] <HackNewton> i got restored it :)
[05:44] <HackNewton> thanks
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> Mrk1: do you know which file(s) you removed?
[05:45] <tomek_> Anyobody uses Gambas?
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> Mrk1: i don't use nautilus to share personnally. I've always used smb.conf
[05:46] <mrk1> actionparsnip it was in the var folder i was trying to follow some advice from online
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> mrk1: if you post the link it may help
[05:47] <tomek_> what is good tool for samba configuring ?
[05:48] <mrk1> actionparsnip i rebooted my computer and cant find it anymore. im sorry i know i am sounding like an idiot
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> tomek_: nano is what i use. Eswat and nautilus are ones I can think of quickly
[05:48] <Asterisk_> is there an equivalent to the irc ghost command, but for ssh?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> mrk1: you aren't, you're just learning :-)
[05:49] <obeyance> Can someone refer me to a windows support room?
[05:49] <zykotick9> If anyone happens to still be around from me asking hours ago, the default timeout for the sudo command is 15 minutes (you can confirm with "man sudoers" and search for timestamp_timeout).  The timer does however reset any time sudo is used so attempting to "test" can be difficult, even the following courtesy #bash failed //  watch -tn1 'echo $(sudo date +"%H:%M:%S")' // however "sudo ls && sleep 16m && sudo ls" reasks for the sudo password.
[05:49] <Sia> How can I see a list of APs?
[05:49] <mrk1> actionparsnip
[05:49] <obeyance> Ive been working on getting my lan drivers installed and no mater what i do it wont work.
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> obeyance: ##windows
[05:49] <mrk1> just found the link
[05:49] <obeyance> This is in windows*
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> Sia: sudo iwlist scan
[05:50] <mrk1> actionparsnip /var/lib/dpkg/info
[05:50] <Juozas> obeyance, ##windows probably
[05:50] <Sia> tnx
[05:52] <josephpagoda> hello everyone!  Does anyone know how I can make an ext4 mount point always have a specific uid?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> mrk1: yikes.  Marco Braida posts fixes for the packages. Its a list of about 9 commands
[05:53] <mrk1> actionparsnip alright thanks a lot! ill try to fix it
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> Mrk1: search for: marco braida mv cp status apt-get clean old       usually makes it appear. Its in a launchpad question, scroll down a few, you'll see it
[05:55] <lolto> anyone try to use dwm and have it not respond to cmds
[05:56] <YankDownUnder> dwn?
[05:57] <mrk1> hello everyone, my /etc/samba folder got deleted accidentally.. any fixes?
[05:57] <lolto> sorry, dwm
[05:57] <lolto> then window manager?
[05:57] <uw_> hi there!  question about netbootin
[05:57] <uw_> if anybody has experince in that?
[05:58] <aum> how to install openoffice.org in ubuntu 11.04, i have install the deb files but its giving dpkg error
[05:58] <YankDownUnder> mrk1, Well, as ActionParsnip had said, you can just do a re-installation of Samba and that should be that...except for the fact that you'll have to re-configure your shares mate...
[05:58] <uw_> whats the error aum
[05:58] <bazhang> uw_, please ask
[05:58] <Sia> ok, now how can I connect to one of APs found by iwlist?
[05:58] <YankDownUnder> lolto, There was a "dwm" way back when - was kinda like "Presentation Manager" for X - like OS/2 - is that what you mean?
[05:58] <Lasers> aum: LibreOffice. Is same.
[05:58] <aum> ration$ sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org3.3-debian-menus_3.3-9556_all.deb
[05:58] <aum> (Reading database ... 163112 files and directories currently installed.)

[05:59] <aum> /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache
[05:59] <YankDownUnder> Nice flood.... (gads)
[05:59] <mrk1> yankdownunder that is the problem i did reinstall but it is not helping because the shares are disabled for some reason
[05:59] <Lasers> wols: Okay. You caught me. It's not same. :(
[05:59] <lolto> YankDownUnder:  i mean the tiling window manager, it shows up as a session option, but all commands to it seem to fasil
[05:59] <bazhang> uw_, you mean unetbootin presumably
[05:59] <lolto> **fai
[05:59] <YankDownUnder> mrk1, Um...if the shares are disabled, did you not re-create them?
[05:59] <josephpagoda> anyone have any ideas on how i could mount my ext4 drive to always make files be 766?
[05:59] <uw_> bazhang, i can get the kernel/ramdisk to load on a machine, but when running the install i do not have internet access
[05:59] <josephpagoda> instead of 755?
[06:00] <pratz> hey guys my friend has windows machine and he wants to connect to my ubuntu box with vnc , but he is unable to connect , (we are on the same network)
[06:00] <Sia> I am confuzed in terms SSID, BSSID and ESSID
[06:00] <mrk1> yankdownunder that is the problem i am having, i am trying to but the option to do so is gone when i right click on the file
[06:00] <uw_> bazhang, i dont really want to set up a mirror.  it seems silly that i should have to because a fully installable system is available via cdrom
[06:00] <bazhang> !wifi > Sia please have a read
[06:01] <aum> http://paste.ubuntu.com/649711/
[06:01] <YankDownUnder>   mrk1 Um...now ya lost me..."Right click the file" -> I don't get it...???
[06:02] <mrk1> yankdownunder i used to be able to share my files/folders by right clicking and saying share folder, that option is gone entirely
[06:02] <bazhang> uw_, I may have misunderstood, sorry, did you mean 'netboot' as opposed to using unetbootin to install iso to usb stick?
[06:02] <DBordello> I am impressed with the usb LIVE installation.  It appears to be a real install :)  I installed a package, messed with /etc, and rebooted.  It all stayed.
[06:02] <YankDownUnder> mrk1, Right - so you've done a re-install of Samba - have you, perchance, rebooted?
[06:02] <uw_> bazhang, i have the whole cd on the netboot server...how can i get it too look at that (preferably via NFS not HTTP or FTP)
[06:03] <mrk1> yankdownunder yes i have and still nothing..im stumped
[06:03] <uw_> bazhang, i mean over the network, i dont have a usb key
[06:03] <mrk1> yankdownunder i also have killalled nautilys
[06:04] <YankDownUnder> mrk1, Look, in your Package Manager, there is an admin utiliity for Samba - ya might want to install it, and try this all over again...the other option is to completely remove samba from this machine, reboot, re-install samba, then try again...
[06:04] <bazhang> uw_, okay you said 'netbootin' I presumed wrongly you referred to 'unetbootin'
[06:05] <uw_> bazhang, it is requsting a mirror (something like us.archive.ubuntu.com)  i would like it too look locally, via the same NFS share that it used to grab other files from.
[06:05] <mrk1> yankdownunder alright, ill try that, thanks
[06:05] <uw_> bazhang, yes sorry about that.  i met "netbootin'" as a slang for "netbooting", the verb for using netboot
[06:07] <uw_> bazhang, i could set up a http or ftp server on this...but its kinda unessary just so the client can pull in files.  the NFS is set up and working properlly, why cant it just keep using that for everything on the CD as normal?
[06:07] <bazhang> uw_, I dont know much about the pxe netboot issue, sorry for the misunderstanding on my part
[06:08] <uw_> bazhang, ok understood.  thank you for your offering of help though
[06:09] <DBordello> anyway to make the live installation less "live".  Ie, automatically loginging in the consoles.
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> DBordello: you can use remastersys to change the image as you desire
[06:11] <rabbit1> how to migrate from ubuntu to windows ?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> Rabbit: migrate what?
[06:12] <rabbit1> ActionParsnip: need to install windows, my system is on ubuntu... how to format and install windows ?
[06:12] <DBordello> ActionParsnip, i don't need to create a new iso.  Once it is isntall on a usb drive i want it to act a little less "live"
[06:12] <DBordello> it works great with persistent partitions
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> Rabbit: the windows install cd can delete the ubuntu partitions and install itself as you desire
[06:13] <IdleOne> rabbit1: help with installing Windows in ##windows
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> DBordello: can you define "less live" please
[06:14] <DBordello> ActionParsnip, sure.  Doesn't automatically login all of the consoles.  Remove the default ubuntu user.
[06:15] <Kartagis> I can't bring ubuntu back from sleep, where can I turn that off? power options?
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> DBordello: if you use unetbootin the you are simply transferring the live cd to usb. Updates wi not stick. If you create a persistent install you can add all manner of changes and startup scripts and after a reboot they will not be lost
[06:18] <DBordello> ActionParsnip, I used unetbootin with a persistent storage.  It is actually reall impressive.  It behaves like a full install
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> DBordello: if you run system updates then reboot you will have to older versions of the apps
[06:20] <DBordello> ActionParsnip, oh reall :/  I did notice if i installed a package using apt-get, it showed up upon reboot.
[06:20] <DBordello> which I thought was nice
[06:20] <DBordello> ActionParsnip, i am attempting to run a system from USB.  I am trying to decide if it is best to run it as a live environment, or install to the usb key
[06:20] <KM0201> i'm not sure most USB's would have room for a bunch of updates toa persistent install
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> DBordello: the squashfs file doesn't get updated :-(
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> !persistent
[06:21] <bazhang> !usb
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> !persistant
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> Ayyyy
[06:22] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, its !usb
[06:22] <DBordello> Hmmm
[06:22] <DBordello> interesting
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: i see. The second link looks good to me
[06:23] <DBordello> Hmmm, live/full. I woulnd't mind a full fledged installation.
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: thanks for the tip :)
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> DBordello: you can. Ubuntu and windows7 can resize ntfs to make free space to put ubuntu in
[06:25] <beachbuddah> hey folks, just installed 11.04 on an asus 900eeepc and would like to pin the system monitor to the tray - any ideas how?
[06:25] <IdleOne> !persistant > ActionParsnip
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: i can't spell, not this early anyway haha
[06:26] <bazhang> beachbuddah, right click keep on tray?
[06:27] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: it has the correct spelling also
[06:27] <beachbuddah> bazhang, I've only discovered one way to see the various installed apps - when I look at it that way the right click is disabled
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: dead handy
[06:27] <DBordello> ActionParsnip, that isn't the issue.  This is for a headless/diskless machine
[06:28] <skrmm> Hello. I have simple bash script which just records audio from mic in and sends it via ftp - in loop, audio files are 2 Mb each. So, I need to run this script after booting. Any ideas?
