[19:30] <erUSUL> abstrakt: use an apache log viewer. logwatch
[19:31] <aeon-ltd> dgtl: you can't create ext partitions in windows, it shows up as unallocated space
[19:31] <juk> Kittymew: Bug?
[19:31] <aeon-ltd> losje: how long until this happens?
[19:31] <wac_> unperson: try using the software center and installing the free community flash plug in
[19:31] <losje> depends, sometimes nog for a couple of hours, sometimes even during install
[19:31] <alazyworkaholic> Virtualization question: I've been using VirtualBox, but it doesn't support audio input, only output. Does KVM support audio-in & does it have any of VirtualBox's nice features like Nested Paging & direct access to the video hardware?
[19:32] <Kittymew> juk, I cannot create a network without security unless I first set security to wpa2, type in about 20 characters, then switch it back.
[19:32] <Kittymew> That sounds like a bug to me.
[19:32] <losje> @aeon-ltd win7 runs smooth btw
[19:32] <aeon-ltd> losje: clean disks for the isos?
[19:32] <abstrakt> erUSUL: ok I did an apt-get install logwatch
[19:32] <abstrakt> erUSUL: but which logwatch doesn't return anything? what's the binary for that? where are the docs?
[19:32] <juk> Kittymew: it's just for handyness you can generate 128 as well
[19:33] <dgtl> my problem is, that the ubuntu installer & gparted doesnt show up the correct partition table - there are 2 partitions missing, that exist in win7 and are accessible there
[19:33] <unperson> wac_, The thing is that I want the actual Adobe plugin, and clearly something with the ubuntu package is fubar.
[19:33] <losje> aeon-ltd what do you mean?
[19:33] <dchotas> Can anyone suggest me a good UI-basedBt client for ubuntu 10.04?
[19:33] <juk> dchotas: Transmission
[19:33] <unperson> wac_, I can probably download directly from adobe and install, but I'd much prefer to know what's going on with the official package.
[19:33] <aeon-ltd> losje: physically clean, it could have stopped the cd drive from reading prperly
[19:33] <erUSUL> !bt | dchotas
[19:33] <wac_> dchotas: transmission
[19:34] <erUSUL> dchotas: i use deluge
[19:34] <unperson> wac_, What's weird is that a quick search didn't turn up any recent references to such a phenomenon.
[19:34] <bryceh> JFo, mind triaging 649141 when you get a moment?
[19:34] <losje> aeon-ltd I get it, but it does not need the disk anymore (im using the installation to talk with you right now)
[19:35] <Krishnandu> how can I list partition table through terminal..?? fdisk -l is not working
[19:35] <wac_> try again
[19:35] <wac_> sudo apt-get remove flash
[19:35] <Zykotic-K9> Krishnandu, "sudo fdisk -l"
[19:35] <wac_> sudo apt-get auto clean
[19:35] <sinman> glebihan: how can i see the startup log, maybe something there can tell me why X not starting on bootup why i get the command line on startup
[19:35] <wac_> sudo apt-get autoclean
[19:35] <erUSUL> Krishnandu: sudo parted /dev/sdx print
[19:35] <wac_> sudo apt-get autoremove
[19:35] <Krishnandu> Zykotic-K9, Thanx buddy..!!
[19:35] <juk> !torrent | dchotas
[19:35] <wac_> then reinstall
[19:35] <intrader> ActionParsnip, rthunter only found 'Warnings' in chkconfig and prerequisites (both unexplained).
[19:35] <aeon-ltd> losje: does any problems arise in windows similar to this, because right now i'd reccommended a memtest
[19:36] <dgtl> is there a parameter or sth. i have to pass, if win7 created a dynamic partition table on my disk_
[19:36] <losje> aeon-ltd: Thats the thing, win7 runs without any flaws
[19:36] <losje> aeon-ltd: except the usual windows crap :P
[19:36] <erUSUL> abstrakt: http://www.debianadmin.com/realtime-apache-monitoring-with-apachetop.html
[19:36] <abstrakt> erUSUL: thanks
[19:36] <yitz_> I'm trying to set up a preseeded installer. eg http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/example-preseed.txt  But for the partitioning part, I want to drop back into the interactive interface. How would I go about doing that?
[19:37] <Krishnandu> erUSUL, Thanx buddy..!!
[19:37] <erUSUL> Krishnandu: no problem
[19:37] <aeon-ltd> losje: do the freezes end? or does it bsically kill the machine?
[19:37] <sinman> can someone tell me how i can view the startup logs
[19:37] <losje> aeon-ltd: kills the machine completely
[19:37] <juk> sinman: less /var/log/boot ?
[19:38] <intrader> ActionParsnip, rthunter with the log on, gives more information on warnings
[19:38] <Krishnandu> erUSUL, :)
[19:38] <juk> sinman: less /var/log/boot.log
[19:38] <aeon-ltd> losje: does the hdd drive grind or any weird noises arise?
[19:39] <kantxx> hey all.. anyone know of a good internal messanger/awareness system w/ ldap support thats open source?
[19:39] <losje> aeon-ltd: nope, HDD is brand new as well. Also I replaced the Wifi card already because of this (no result)
[19:39] <juk> I discovered this in my boot log: init: ureadahead-other main process (757) terminated with status
[19:39] <juk> what that my be?
[19:40] <ChogyDan1> juk: is it like status 4?  it means you have your install on several partitions
[19:40] <erUSUL> kantxx: internal messenger? a jabber server?
[19:41] <kantxx> erUSUL: can it manage contact lists(buddy lists).. its needed for more of a "whos on" type system
[19:41] <erUSUL> kantxx: jabber is what gtalk uses so draw your conclussions.
[19:41] <losje> aeon-ltd: I get this message in my /var/log/messages: 19.017133] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.
[19:41] <juk> ChogyDan1: yes, 3, and on extended
[19:42] <juk> ChogyDan1: 3 more on extended partition
[19:42] <Kittymew> Hmm. Trying to install WICD, when it installs it says "Starting network connection manager wicd [fail]" and is unavailable.
[19:42] <iluminator101> hi i get this error when i just booted up default gnome power manager setting is not correct???
[19:42] <aeon-ltd> losje: hmm maybe but highly likely a sound card causes the whole machine to freeze completely
[19:42] <aeon-ltd> losje: *unlikely
[19:42] <unperson> Ah, my problem is exactly as described by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/616670, although I don't know if this is a new iteration of the problem.
[19:43] <Dizzo> hey
[19:43] <Dizzo> How do I exit TTY??
[19:43] <aeon-ltd> losje: is a there a specific time this happens? like 2hours post startup?
[19:43] <ChogyDan1> juk: there is a ureadahead process for each partition started, but if that partition doesn't have any files needed for boot, it just exits with a msg like that
[19:43] <losje> aeon-ltd: is there something I can do to check?
[19:43] <losje> aeon-ltd: No, it looks like it is random
[19:43] <slow-motion> hi
[19:44] <wac_> unperson: haha
[19:44] <aeon-ltd> losje: speculation, but there must be a software trigger somewhere
[19:44] <s01ja> Greetings
[19:44] <s01ja> some time ago i read some ubuntu-forum rules that sanctioned inline code posting, as it could contain 'sudo ./evil'. should i report such a post?
[19:44] <wac_> unperson: did you reproduce it with apt-get autoremove
[19:44] <erUSUL> kantxx: http://xmpp.org/xmpp-software/servers/
[19:44] <aeon-ltd> losje: this may be a waste of time, but lets say you booted up and left it, just to test if it would freeze
[19:44] <nothingspecial> s01ja: De3pends what it says
[19:44] <losje> aeon-ltd: My soundcard: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia
[19:45] <losje> aeon-ltd: Will try the "always on" tonight!
[19:45] <s01ja> wget http://kanotix.com/files/fix/mplayer-vaapi-latest.txt && sudo bash ./mplayer-vaapi-latest.txt
[19:46] <aeon-ltd> losje: there are probably better tests, like maybe stress tests but i'm not sure they exist for linux, someone else here may know
[19:46] <Kittymew> Nope, none of that crap works at all, I'm not going to waste any more time on it.
[19:47] <wac_> anyone know the command to change the resolution of the shell you are using?
[19:48] <dchotas> so I'm the only user on this ubuntu machine
[19:48] <abstrakt> wac_: resolution? that doesn't make sense...
[19:48] <s01ja> something tells me it was not a good idea to post the code here. please do not execute!
[19:48] <dchotas> yet the terminal tells me i dont own a folder, how can I get around this'
[19:48] <Daniel1> What was that?
[19:48] <wac_> size of the screen
[19:48] <abstrakt> wac_: click and drag the bottom right corner of your terminal window?
[19:48] <wac_> no man I am not in xserver
[19:48] <wac_> I am only in a shell
[19:48] <dchotas> I'm the only user in this ubuntu box yet the terminal tells me i dont own a folder, how can I get around this?
[19:49] <wac_> hit ctrl+alt+f1
[19:49] <aeon-ltd> wac_: tty?
[19:49] <wac_> yes tty
[19:49] <wac_> thnx
[19:49] <aeon-ltd> wac_: cause its a grub boot loader option vga=xxxnumber
[19:49] <wac_> theres no way to do it once you are in the shell?
[19:50] <Daniel1> what does mean, that badge on some users in this chat?
[19:50] <unperson> wac_, I don't think you can do it on the fly.
[19:50] <Loshki> s01ja: it doesn't look evil per se, but I wish they'd separated out the parts which need root from the parts which don't....
[19:50] <dchotas> despite being (root), my terminal tells me i dont have the ownership of a folder, ho can I change this?
[19:50] <aeon-ltd> wac_: look/google for how to change framebuffer resolution while in tty
[19:50] <wac_> thanks all will look into it
[19:50] <Kyoku> anyone know how to fix this? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/501707
[19:51] <gverig> Running ubuntu 10.10, in tomboy notes, the panel plugin- note titles are invisible (I see note icons and can opten them but can't see the text title). Worked fine on Friday. Any thoughts?
[19:51] <eTiger13> how do i tell which version of openssh-server i have installed?
[19:51] <Pici> gverig : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion.
[19:51] <losje> aeon-ltd: Thanks so far for the help
[19:51] <gverig> Pici: thanks
[19:51] <Pici> eTiger13: apt-cache policy openssh-server
[19:52] <unperson> wac_, Regarding the flash thing, oddly if I try their code to reproduce it something else happens.  It then appears to install without errors, though flash doesn't actually work.
[19:52] <losje> Anyone knows what the message means in my syslog:  hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.
[19:52] <ppq> zulax, i use dd for such things
[19:52] <nothingspecial> s01ja: The code itself adds some repositories and downloads and runs some scripts. I haven`t looked at all the scripts but the original one does not seem maliscious at first glance. Don`t run it if you don`t fancy it.
[19:52] <aeon-ltd> losje: sorry i couldn't solve it
[19:52] <Loshki> eTiger13: sshd -h will print the version
[19:52] <unperson> wac_, What's even MORE bizarre about that is that flashplugin-nonfree is a transitional package, and I thought all it really goes is install flashplugin-installer, which is what I'd been doing.
[19:53] <losje> aeon-ltd: no worries really thanks for the try
[19:53] <dchotas> despite being (root), my terminal tells me i dont have the ownership of a folder, how can I change this?
[19:53] <wac_> unperson: you tried the apt-update they told you to I am assuming?
[19:53] <s01ja> found nothing on ubuntu.com to report this. sure this is legitimate, can someone with a ubuntu formum account contact the author and send him the guideline so she fixes the issue? without punishment!
[19:53] <wac_> unperson: did you enable the restricted repo in sources
[19:53] <wac_> ?
[19:54] <VCoolio> dchotas: to change owner:group do: chown username:groupname folder   groupname can be the same as user; for recursive ownership do chown -R
[19:54] <aeon-ltd> dchotas: chmod +w maybe?
[19:54] <jrib> dchotas: what exactly are you trying to do?  How exactly are you trying to do it?  And what exactly does the terminal tell you?  (use a pastebin)
[19:54] <fuller> How can I call hcitool in a C program
[19:55] <jrib> fuller: try ##c
[19:56] <unperson> wac_, I did update.  But in any case I've updated apt far more recently than those bug posts.  restricted repo must be enabled otherwise it wouldn't find the package at all, right?
[19:58] <s01ja> nothingspecial:  Well its page 140 in a thread - but google knew about it. Maybe it is a bigger issue to protect simple minded users from malcious code from the forums.
[19:58] <ppq> zulax, use this: gunzip -c /mnt/temp/image.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sda1 bs=10M
[19:58] <nothingspecial> s01ja: I don`t think if is forbidden to post the code. It is a warning to watch out for code that contains it. Anyone who knows what they are doing can look at it and decide for themselves
[19:58] <ShredMaster> What will happen if there are many Leechers and Seeders in Bittorent?
[19:58] <zulax> ppq, should it be sda or sda1 ?
[19:58] <noobie987> hello! anybody knows how i can read out ubuntus current kernel config to use in an own compilation? cat /proc/config is not inbuilt in ubuntus kernel.
[19:59] <ppq> zulax, depending on your image. is it a partition or a whole disk?
[19:59] <zulax> ppq on /dev/ i see both sda and sda1
[19:59] <zulax> then i guess the partition should be sda1
[20:00] <ppq> zulax, btw, you should exactly know what you're doing
[20:00] <ppq> zulax, how did you create the image?
[20:00] <zulax> hmm...
[20:01] <s01ja> so no reporting - thats good guidelines for a free society. just was concerned. no damage done
[20:01] <zulax> that makes sense
[20:01] <ppq> zulax, are you running a live system?
[20:01] <zulax> nop
[20:02] <Kuprin> Hey guys, more weirdness (I was apparently on as Kittymew earlier) - decided to fix the problem in hardware, have a fresh DI-604 router here, but for some reason ubuntu cannot connect to the wired network when it's plugged into the router.
[20:02] <ppq> zulax, is ubuntu installed on the disk /dev/sda?
[20:02] <zulax> ppq, so it should be sda, i asked the guy who created the image
[20:02] <nothingspecial> s01ja: You can report if you like, but it looks innocent to me ....at first glance and without going through the code of everything else it downloads
[20:03] <zulax> ppq, i guess i need to format the drive first? or does dd do it as it goes
[20:03] <wac_> unperson: yea I guess so
[20:03] <nothingspecial> s01ja: But I wouldn`t waste the admins time
[20:03] <ppq> zulax, no, dd does byte-exact copying. the partition table is uncluded in your image.
[20:03] <dchotas> jrib terminal tells me this, "You do no own ./wine/ so the script won't run."
[20:03] <unperson> wac_, I think I got to the bottom of the issue.
[20:03] <ppq> zulax, do you run ubuntu which is installed on sda?
[20:04] <unperson> wac_, The mirror I was using seems to be out of date.
[20:04] <jrib> dchotas: I need you to answer all three questions I asked so that I can help you
[20:04] <Pici> zulax: Where is this img file located? On sda/sda1?
[20:04] <unperson> wac_, When I set it to use the main US mirror everything works out.
[20:04] <jrib> !pastebin | dchotas
[20:04] <ppq> zulax, in this case you have to boot another system which doesn't live on sda
[20:04] <zulax> Pici, its mounted on /mnt/temp/img.gz
[20:04] <Pici> zulax: Okay, just making sure :)
[20:04] <zulax> ty
[20:04] <unperson> How can I find out when I given mirror was last updated?
[20:04] <wac_> unperson: you changed the mirriors around? or do you not live in the US
[20:04] <zulax> ppq Pici thank you, hope its working, and glad to learn dd !
[20:05] <ppq> zulax, np, but are you running an ubuntu whoch is installed on sda?
[20:05] <unperson> wac_, I changed mirrors to one that I get much faster speeds to.
[20:05] <unperson> wac_, But it appears that mirror is out of date.
[20:05] <wac_> good idea!
[20:05] <zulax> i booted of g4l disk
[20:05] <zulax> off
[20:06] <zulax> and thru live cd
[20:06] <ppq> ok, a live system, alright
[20:06] <ppq> good luck :)
[20:07] <Kyle__> Is getdeb.net reputable enough to download and install packages from?
[20:08] <Kuprin> hahahaha nevermind, turns out it was a bad cable >_>
[20:08] <unperson> wac_, Trying to figure out how I determine whent he mirror was last updated.  I guess I can probably look at the mod time for the packages file.
[20:08] <jrib> Kyle__: stick to official repositories whenever possible.  With things like getdeb and PPAs you are trusting the author directly
[20:08] <Israphel> Hi, i have a question about file permissions
[20:09] <jrib> Israphel: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[20:09] <Israphel> it's about this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/646862?comments=all
[20:09] <Israphel> it's about ia32-libs on maverick
[20:09] <Israphel> the first workaround was removing the read permission to a file
[20:09] <jrib> Israphel: #ubuntu+1 for questions about maverick
[20:10] <Israphel> great
[20:10] <jrib> Israphel: but try to not use enter so much
[20:10] <Israphel> I better run from here now
[20:10] <dajhorn> Israphel: This bug was fixed today.  Just upgrade and try again.  Maverick questions go to #ubuntu+1
[20:10]  * Kyle__ nods
[20:11] <Kyle__> Is there a place to just dowload a .deb of xVideoServiceTheif?
[20:11] <root____1> just installed console-tools and it rendered my box unbootable, with ugly colorful line on top of screen
[20:13] <Randolph> hi all

[20:14] <root____1> suggestion how to get back my shiny desktop
[20:14] <losje> Guys, anybody knows what this message in my syslog means? : hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.

[20:17] <Pooky5859> hi
[20:17] <losje> Pooky5859 Hi!
[20:17] <JavaAtom> Howdy folks.
[20:18] <Pooky5859> i have problem with ubuntu to use USB modem - Huawei USB Modem E1750
[20:18] <Pooky5859> has windows drivers and i dont have idea how make it work on ubuntu
[20:19] <Pooky5859> i try many tutorials bat i still dont get connect
[20:19] <losje> ooh good luck man...
[20:19] <guntbert> !enter | Pooky5859
[20:19] <JavaAtom> Under an upgraded Server 10.04 amd64 install, I have a multi-hard-drive LVM volume and it lost a hard drive due to SMART failure. I removed the offending drive, but now the LVM will not load. Where should I look for troubleshooting steps?
[20:20] <dajhorn> JavaAtom: Did you have a raid configuration in MD, or a raid configuration in LVM?
[20:21] <JavaAtom> dajhorn: I went with (what I thought was) a JBOD-type configuration -- just lumping them all together. Software raid, if anything.
[20:21] <dajhorn> JavaAtom: Your entire VG is probably hosed.
[20:21] <JavaAtom> dajhorn: meaning?
[20:21] <dajhorn> JavaAtom: Restore from backup.
[20:22] <JavaAtom> dajhorn: Erm. You mean restore configurations from backup? Or the real *data* backup?
[20:22] <guntbert> JavaAtom: LVM has nothing to do with RAID - it needs all disks
[20:22] <JavaAtom> well damn
[20:22] <jbrouhard> in my experience, LVM is only good if you have daily good backups
[20:22] <JavaAtom> guntbert: If I were to replace the dead drive with an uninitialized disk and add it to the VG, would that resurrect the mirror?
[20:22] <jbrouhard> otherwise you risk losing the whole array when one drive fails :(
[20:22] <mbeierl> JavaAtom: if you used straight striping-style "lump them all together" then the loss of one disk means the loss of them all
[20:22] <dajhorn> JavaAtom: Both.  If you weren't doing raid in the MD layer, then you were doing something like raid0 or raid1 in the LVM layer, and any breakage there is usually fatal.
[20:23] <JavaAtom> dajhorn: Gotcha.
[20:23] <antibody> bl
[20:23] <JavaAtom> What makes this funny is this is our backup server.
[20:23] <mbeierl> JavaAtom: you did not say it is a mirror.  therefore it cannot resurrect what does not exist :(
[20:23] <guntbert> JavaAtom: if it was "only" a SMART message you could try to put the disk back in, then move the data elsewhere...
[20:23] <JavaAtom> guntbert: Too many bad blocks -- the drive refused to be read from.
[20:23] <jbrouhard> guntbert, that's not a bad idea...
[20:23] <guntbert> JavaAtom: LVM is no mirror either
[20:23] <jbrouhard> i'd put the drive back in
[20:23] <jbrouhard> see if you can'
[20:24] <jbrouhard> can't copy/paste the data to another location
[20:24] <JavaAtom> jbrouhard: Thankfully, there was no data on that drive. -- But if the LVM is hosed, I can just reinitialize it.
[20:24] <jbrouhard> out of curiousity, guntbert, can a LVM array be read from.. say.. live CD ?
[20:24] <dajhorn> JavaAtom: If you have lots of time, then try to recover the back disk with one of the ddrescue utilities.
[20:25] <dajhorn> jbrouhard: The alternative Live CD has LVM, and you can install lvm with an Internet connection to the desktop Live CD.
[20:25] <guntbert> jbrouhard: yes, you only have to load the appropriate module
[20:25] <jbrouhard> Well i mean.. READING the local LVM to try to recover.
[20:25] <jbrouhard> ah.
[20:25] <JavaAtom> I suppose I should ask whether or not having an LVM-ed server is a good idea for a backup.
[20:25] <jbrouhard> that's an option to recover
[20:25] <jbrouhard> Probably not ;)
[20:25] <hardisk> hi, I have a very simple problem with ubuntu
[20:25] <jbrouhard> not if you're prone to HDD failures
[20:25] <JavaAtom> jbrouhard: Damn. That's what this server is...
[20:25] <hardisk> I lost the name of a packet I really need to use
[20:25] <hardisk> This is a program who type keys for you
[20:26] <JavaAtom> jbrouhard: We're not "prone to HDD failures," we just had one die.
[20:26] <hardisk> "xautotools"...
[20:26] <_RMoD> Hey, I have a quick question for your guys
[20:26] <hardisk> something like that
[20:26] <hardisk> And the commands where like : xautotools key 1 , to spam key 1
[20:26] <_RMoD> I go to boot up 10.04.1 and my video isn't working
[20:26] <guntbert> !enter | hardisk
[20:26] <jbrouhard> JavaAtom, what kind of hDD?  SATA , SCSI or IDE ?
[20:26] <hardisk> Sorry, do you have an answer?
[20:26] <_RMoD> oops, I'll wait
[20:26] <JavaAtom> jbrouhard: These are plain SATA drives. 7200 RPM OTS drives.
[20:26] <JavaAtom> Err --- OTS = Off The Shelf.
[20:26] <jbrouhard> JavaAtom, i'd go out of my way to buy a SATA RAID controller in that case
[20:27] <JavaAtom> damn.
[20:27] <JavaAtom> okay
[20:27] <jbrouhard> save you some trouble long-term
[20:27] <jbrouhard> hardware RAID is, usually, easier to recover than software RAID
[20:27] <jbrouhard> ANyone in here care to correct that if i'm horribly wrong ?
[20:27] <hardisk> I forgot the name of a package I need, it's like a robot that press keys for you, the name was something like "xautokey" "xautotools" and the syntax was like "xautotools key 1" to make it press the 1 key, any idea?
[20:27] <VCoolio> _RMoD: no video, as in, .avi not playing, or as in command line prompt?
[20:27] <_RMoD> I agree
[20:27] <fraterm> jbrouhard: I think that's an apt assertion.
[20:28] <JavaAtom> jbrouhard: crap.
[20:28] <rolandpish> Hi, what is the "aptitude" equivalent for the command apt-get autoremove?
[20:28] <_RMoD> VCoolio:  I go to boot, it shows the screen where you can press ESC to get to boot options, then it goes completely blank
[20:28] <dajhorn> jbrouhard: If you buy a proprietary RAID controller, and it dies, then you'll need to have the same hardware for recovery.  Hugely annoying in a small shop.
[20:28] <glebihan> hardisk: there's an "autokey" package which looks like something like that
[20:28] <_RMoD> I need to use the safe video mode, but it's not in the F4 list for some reason
[20:28] <jbrouhard> dajhorn, quite true
[20:29] <fraterm> Firmware controllers may be dumbish, but they will slavishly rebuild their configuration and are less prone to human error that can muck up a software raid setup.
[20:29]  * dajhorn shamefully uses ZFS
[20:29] <hardisk> glebihan,good tough, but it's not this one,the package I seek is in CLI
[20:29] <fraterm> BUT with a well administered SW raid, you can get good reliability.
[20:29] <_RMoD> The ISO was not corrupt, the MD5 hash was perfectly fine, but for some reason it doesn't look like I have all the boot options.
[20:29] <fraterm> more flexibly than HW raid.
[20:30] <VCoolio> _RMoD: does this sound like accurate? http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[20:30] <snarkster_> i have a rather large ext partition that is giving me trouble. when i boot the system it wants to repair it but fails. can someone give me the right parameters for fsck
[20:30] <hardisk> I forgot the name of a package I need, it's like a robot that press keys for you, the name was something like "xautokey" "xautotools" and the syntax was like "xautotools key 1" to make it press the 1 key, any idea?
[20:31] <glebihan> hardisk: xautomation ?
[20:31] <_RMoD> Where's a pen when I need it...that sounds right
[20:31] <glaucous> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 x64 (used Kubuntu before), and there seems to be some items missing in the top panel (sound mixer, network etc). I tried removing ~/gnome2/panel2, but still the same problem.
[20:31] <hardisk> lets see
[20:31] <dajhorn> snarkster_: Make a backup.  If fsck is asking you questions about the repair, then the fix could make the problem worse.
[20:31] <_RMoD> I'll go try it and be back if it doesn't work
[20:31] <aSt3raL> hey
[20:31] <antibody> hi I installed nvidia-bl-dkms and it's working, however i'm having problems of compat with the scripts..so I have low brightness and flickering :S where should I start to poke?
[20:31] <snarkster_> yah thats the main problem it is my backup drive on my server.
[20:31] <flyguy> anyone want to have netsex?
[20:32] <aSt3raL> im trying to install ubuntu server 10.4.1
[20:32] <DJones> !ops | flyguy
[20:32] <flyguy> err wrong channel
[20:32] <aSt3raL> and after the install the screen goes blank
[20:32] <dajhorn> snarkster_: From a terminal prompt through a Live CD:   fsck -f -v -C  /dev/MyDisk
[20:32] <_RMoD> Well, wait a moment, VCoolio, if I have a different chipset than those, would I need to modify my xorg.conf to use the correct driver for my video card?
[20:32] <hardisk> glebihan, not this one
[20:32] <hardisk> I forgot the name of a package I need, it's like a robot that press keys for you, the name was something like "xautokey" "xautotools" and the syntax was like "xautotools key 1" to make it press the 1 key, any idea?
[20:33] <VCoolio> _RMoD: if the livecd worked for you you should be ok with at least the low graphics mode
[20:33] <_RMoD> I don't know if the livecd worked or not, all I ever saw was a blank screen
[20:33] <hardisk> I forgot the name of a package I need, it's like a robot that press keys for you, the name was something like "xautokey" "xautotools" and the syntax was like "xautotools key 1" to make it press the 1 key, any idea? (Not autokey)
[20:34] <_RMoD> I want to install it, you see, but I'm having these problems and want to make sure I can fix it before I install
[20:34] <hardisk> I forgot the name of a package I need, it's like a robot that press keys for you, the name was something like "xautokey" "xautotools" and the syntax was like "xautotools key 1" to make it press the 1 key, any idea? (Not autokey and xautomation)
[20:35] <dajhorn> hardisk: apt-get install expect xautomation
[20:35] <PeaceMaker> Is it possible to tell the system not to upgrade kernel? I prepared a customized kernel with added drivers and I don't want the auto updates ruin it.
[20:35] <snarkster_> thank you
[20:35] <dajhorn> hardisk: Or maybe expect-lite
[20:35] <coz_> PeaceMaker,  you might be able to go into synaptic package manager and "lock"  the kernel from there
[20:36] <eTiger13> im trying to setup chroot jail for a group but whenever i try to connect using sftp i get a "connection reset by peer" error. what could I be doing wrong? im following these directions: http://shapeshed.com/journal/chroot_sftp_users_on_ubuntu_intrepid/
[20:36] <qoo1> Whenever I install kernel updates, I get a message from Debconf saying 'What would you like to do about menu.lst?'. If I make it replace it with the new version, it looses the boot option for my Windows partition. What should I do? Thanks.
[20:36] <PeaceMaker> ok, I am trying it now.
[20:36] <coz_> PeaceMaker,  rather "lock" the kernel package from there
[20:36] <_RMoD> Anyway, VCoolio, thank you for help, I'll hope that works correctly
[20:36] <VCoolio> PeaceMaker: kernels are installed alongside, they don't replace, so just make sure you keep the custom kernel default in grub
[20:36] <uLinux> hi
[20:36] <VCoolio> _RMoD: I'm looking for your issue in livecd, it's a frequent complaint with lucid
[20:37] <uLinux> Can I disable avahi-daemon?
[20:37] <PeaceMaker> Yeah, I know. But grub 2 seems always list the latest kernel as default.
[20:37] <PeaceMaker> I used to manually edit menu.lst in grub1.
[20:38] <Jordan_U> qoo1: There were a lot of configuration ussues with grub legacy because of the way its configuration system worked. Could you try upgrading to grub2?
[20:38] <qoo1> Jordan_U: Is upgrading easy? Or at least, would you be able to tell me how?
[20:40] <churl> I installed xubuntu and now windows get s blue screen for half a second then reboots.  Ideas?
[20:40] <max2> hey all i'm having an issue with raid45 - i keep getting : "raid45" is not in the kernel - how can i fix this so my raid5 works? thanks
[20:40] <Jordan_U> qoo1: Yes. First, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[20:41] <_RMoD> It did not work
[20:41] <qoo1> Jordan_U: 10.04
[20:41] <velle_frak> .
[20:41] <_RMoD> I saw all the drivers and stuff loading, then it went to a black screen again even with the xforcevesa boot option
[20:41] <xbonesx> what is the vga code for 1920x1200, this is what the vbeinfo outputs, 0x17d , but i need the vga=(***) for it
[20:42] <_RMoD> Could it be that my screen resolution is 1280x800 or something?
[20:42] <max2> hey all i'm having an issue with raid45 - i keep getting : "raid45" is not in the kernel - how can i fix this so my raid5 works? thanks - im running ubuntu server 10 amd64
[20:43] <ppq> xbonesx, 0x17d is 381 in decimal
[20:43] <xbonesx> ppq: ok ill try that
[20:44] <_RMoD> This is really annoying me that I can't even USE ubuntu, ANY help at all?
[20:45] <_RMoD> Hello? :(
[20:46] <Jordan_U> qoo1: Have a LiveCD on hand in case something goes wrong, then run "sudo apt-get install grub-pc".
[20:46] <agruman> is it possible to have a (binary) file in bzr that there is only one version of (ex update will delete old one completely)?
[20:46] <Pici> agruman: #bzr would be the best place to ask this.
[20:47] <agruman> Pici, yeah i suppose :), thanks for the hint
[20:48] <bobstro> _RMoD:  this is a livecd? normally, one of the safe modes should work. do you have unusual video?
[20:49] <_RMoD> bobstro:  If you're referring to the Video Safe Mode in the F4 menu, then it doesn't exist for me.  My video isn't extremely unusual, it's a widescreen 1280x800 display on an Intel HD Graphics (which is supposedly supported).
[20:49] <PeaceMaker> VCoolio,  I can lock any installed kernel images from upgrading. But I am afraid, new ones will be added when I do "apt-get upgrade"
[20:49] <max2> hey all i'm having an issue with raid45 - i keep getting : "raid45" is not in the kernel - how can i fix this so my raid5 works? thanks - im running ubuntu server 10 amd64
[20:50] <VCoolio> then lock the kernel package (something like linux-headers and such); you can do in synaptic
[20:50] <qoo1> Jordan_U: How do I 'click' the <Ok> button in the grub-pc configuration console? (in terminal)
[20:51] <guntbert> qoo1: usually you use the <tab> key to move the focus
[20:51] <Jordan_U> qoo1: Use tab to select it (if it's not already selected) then press space bar.
[20:51] <VCoolio> PeaceMaker: or do sudo -i, then: echo packagename hold | dpkg –set-selections
[20:51] <Jordan_U> qoo1: When asked what device to install grub to, make sure to select your hard drive ( like /dev/sda ) and *not* a partition ( like /dev/sda1 ).
[20:52] <_RMoD> Frustration with my ineptness is rising...
[20:52] <VCoolio> PeaceMaker: dpkg --set-selections that is, double --
[20:52] <tsukiyomi> Hi guys is there anyone here that could help me with wireshark??
[20:52] <qoo1> Jordan_U: Um, it never asked me that?
[20:52] <qoo1> Jordan_U: It says its done, and is chainloading from grub.
[20:52] <Lollipop56> tsukiyomi, check my pm
[20:53] <Jordan_U> qoo1: It only asks you that when you commit to using grub2 permanently. Right now you're still chainloading grub2 from grub legacy.
[20:53] <bobstro> _RMoD:  sorry, i can't think of anything to suggest. is there another video out it's grabbing perhaps?
[20:53] <churl> I installed xubuntu and now windows won't boot.  blue screen for half a second then reboots.  Ideas?
[20:54] <PeaceMaker> Got it, Thanks, VCoolio.
[20:54] <Jordan_U> qoo1: Try rebooting to confirm that grub2 works, then run "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy" to completely switch to grub2.
[20:54] <qoo1> Jordan_U: Ok, thanks. I'll test it out now. If it works, I can then commit to using it permanently, right?
[20:54] <captaincork> blue
[20:54] <qoo1> Jordan_U: Sure.
[20:55] <abountu> what is the file to edit to add new packages sources?
[20:55] <captaincork> watzups yalls
[20:55] <guntbert> !ot | captaincork
[20:55] <abountu> or what is the best way to add new packages source
[20:56] <captaincork> watxup
[20:56] <guntbert> captaincork: stop that please
[20:56] <captaincork> way daes not me debian pakcage work?
[20:56] <max2> hey all i'm having an issue with raid45 - i keep getting : "raid45" is not in the kernel - how can i fix this so my raid5 works? thanks - im running ubuntu server 10 amd64
[20:57] <guntbert> captaincork: this is the ubuntu support channel - not for debian - for ubuntu only
[20:57] <captaincork> hay FloodBot1: SFTU!!!!!!
[20:57] <tiz-> just getting started with ubuntu, in freebsd there's the /etc/make.conf file to set global compiling settings, for ex: without_x11=true and it will compile all packages without x11... is there anything like this for ubuntu?
[20:57] <captaincork> but i try make debain package on ubutnut
[20:58] <Flare183> captaincork: Please quit it, or you will be asked to leave.
[20:58] <Infra_HDC> max2, some like initrd ?
 ? what
[20:58] <captaincork> why daesont debain package for htop not work?
 i need help getting my kernel to work with raid5 on my intel board
[20:59] <Pici> captaincork: Are you running Ubuntu or Debian?
[20:59] <captaincork> ubtnut
[20:59] <captaincork> ubutnut**
[20:59] <Flare183> Ubuntu*
[20:59] <Flare183> :/
[20:59] <Pici> captaincork: Whats wrong with the version of htop in the repositories?
[20:59] <captaincork> i try the ubutnut htop package and daesont work
[21:00] <Flare183> captaincork: works perfectly on here
[21:00] <Pici> captaincork: How doesn't it work?
[21:00] <captaincork> it daesnt launch
[21:00] <xbonesx> ppq: how do you know that 0x17d was 381 in decimal?
[21:00] <Flare183> captaincork: its a CLI app
[21:00] <captaincork> i even go in /usr/bin/htop
[21:00] <captaincork> and she doesnt work
[21:00] <captaincork> no debug
[21:00] <captaincork> nothing
[21:00] <xbonesx> ppq: if you could i need the dec for 0x14a
[21:00] <max2> hey all i'm having an issue with raid45 - i keep getting : "raid45" is not in the kernel - how can i fix this so my raid5 works? thanks - im installing ubuntu server 10 amd64
[21:01] <JavaAtom> Continuing with the dumb questions: would putting a software raid-5 be a bad idea?
[21:01] <Flare183> captaincork: open a terminal and type in htop
[21:01] <captaincork> type ./htop in /usr/bin
[21:01] <Pici> max2: you may want to try asking in #ubuntu-server if you aren't getting an answer here.
[21:01] <captaincork> i did
[21:01] <ppq> xbonesx, 0x14a is 330
[21:01] <Pici> captaincork: And? Do you get an error?
[21:01] <ppq> xbonesx, just calculate it
[21:02] <captaincork> i open terminal type htop not work. i open terminal and cd /usr/bin/ and type ./htop and not work
[21:02] <Pici> captaincork: Do you get an error?
[21:02] <xbonesx> ppq: with what, i dont know how to calculate
[21:02] <abountu> or what is the best way to add new packages source?
[21:02] <ppq> xbonesx, 1*16²+4*16¹+a*16^0 for 0x14a
[21:02] <captaincork> no, it just returns teh blannk line
[21:02] <ppq> xbonesx, a is 10, b is 11 and so on
[21:03] <max2> Pici: thanks
[21:03] <captaincork> so i want debain or bsd package htop caus i here its better
[21:03] <captaincork> but they dont work
[21:03] <Flare183> captaincork: I've got a better idea
[21:03] <xbonesx> ppq: TY
[21:03] <Flare183> !screenshot | captaincork
[21:03] <Flare183> Please screenshot it
[21:03] <jbrouhard> hmm.. desktop is all screwed up.. how do i get Ubuntu to reconfigure x?  i've tried nvidia-xconfig but that doesn't seem to work// is it xorg-xconfig ?
[21:03] <ppq> xbonesx, when you have hex longer then 0x00 then just continue with 16^3, 16^4 etc, from left to right
[21:03] <bihuhn> exit
[21:03] <xbonesx> ok
[21:04] <bsod1> how can I use two monitors wtih ubuntu 10.04? one different desktop for each monitor?
[21:04] <captaincork> i dont need to. ok you go in on terminal and "cd /usr/bin/" and type "./htop" and it doesn nothing
[21:04] <captaincork> it is like typing lsd in a dir with no contnets
[21:05] <dajhorn> max2: modprobe raid456 and/or modprobe dm-raid45 (depending on what you need)
[21:05] <captaincork> daes  anyone have htop
[21:05] <dajhorn> max2: The required raid module can be named differently between different kernel versions too.
[21:05] <jrib> captaincork: htop is in the repositories, use apt to install it
[21:05] <kazagistar> I want to remove the entire ubuntu desktop environment and everything with it, and revert to a ubuntu-minimal install... how can I do this?
[21:06] <captaincork> kazagistar use arch
[21:06] <captaincork> ?
[21:06] <captaincork> my frein uses it
[21:06] <Flare183> kazagistar: Install Ubuntu Minmail
[21:06] <dajhorn> kazagistar: apt-get autoremove --purge ubuntu-desktop  (and then manually prune after that)
[21:06] <kazagistar> captaincork: too much of a pain, I tried, and I like my premade debs
[21:07] <captaincork> arch haes premeade packages
[21:07] <jrib> captaincork: this channel is for ubuntu support...
[21:07] <captaincork> all need to do is go into /et/mirros or something and choose your mirros
[21:07] <jrib> !purekde | kazagistar
[21:07] <dchotas> So if a motherboard is compatible with DDr3 Memory, does it mean it is also compatible with DDr2?
[21:07] <kazagistar> Flare183: I have to have wireless to be able to install minimal, and I can't get it working off the minimal cd
[21:08] <dajhorn> dchotas: No.
[21:08] <dchotas> dajhorn thanks.
[21:08] <dajhorn> dchotas: Welcome.
[21:08] <Dewayne> howdy, I am having hard times trying to get gnome-shell working. can anyone help?
[21:08] <kazagistar> dajhorn: I will give that a try, thanks
[21:09] <jrib> Dewayne: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[21:09] <dchotas> dajhorn, i was looking at this mobo to buy, and saw it was cmpatible with DDR3 1600--800 and my current memory is DDR2-800, hence the question.
[21:09] <dajhorn> dchotas: Don't try to mix DDR2 and DDR3 parts.
[21:10] <dchotas> dajhorn, im not going to buy any RAM, thats why i needed to know if it was compatible, otherwise id just change my ram.
[21:10] <aeporwi> is it possible to install a 32bit OS on a 64bit machine?
[21:11] <dchotas> aeorwi yes
[21:11] <dchotas> aeporwi yes
[21:11] <aeporwi> ty
[21:11] <kazagistar> jrib, dajhorn: problem, I dont have "ubuntu-desktop", because I have netbook remix installed
[21:11] <dajhorn> dchotas: Look at this image (different physical specification): http://gamingpcguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ddr3-vs-ddr2-ram.jpg
[21:11] <SpinachHead> is there any official info on the best way to install 64 bit flash square?
[21:12] <jrib> SpinachHead: put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[21:13] <blackmkfour> can you in place upgrade from x32 to x64?
[21:13] <glebihan> blackmkfour: no
[21:13] <blackmkfour> weak.
[21:13] <blackmkfour> thanks
[21:13] <ManDay> I freshly installed ubuntu 10.04, installed skype (displaying video worked)  and then ran all possible update (displaying video in skype stopped working) - may this be caused by ... what?
[21:14] <ManDay> may it be that there is an inconsitency in the updates between 10.4 and 10.10 which cause that`
[21:14] <dajhorn> ManDay: Skype was broken in Maverick today, but is now fixed.  10.10 questions should go to #ubuntu+1
[21:15] <ManDay> dajhorn: im on 10.04 as i said
[21:15] <Dewayne> can anyone help with gnome-shell on 10.04 ubuntu?
[21:15] <ManDay> i dont even know whether im affected by anything 10.10
[21:15] <jrib> Dewayne: suppose someone said "yes", say what you would say next to them (on a single line)
[21:15] <dajhorn> ManDay: Why are you mentioning 10.10?
[21:15] <Dewayne> great
[21:16] <ManDay> dajhorn: i am not sure whether it has an influence on the updates for 10.04 dajhorn
[21:16] <dajhorn> ManDay: Nothing in 10.10 will be installed unless you ask for it, or acknowledge the upgrade.
[21:17] <ManDay> dajhorn: i just thought maybe an update for 10.04 was made by someone developing on 10.10 or so...
[21:17] <ManDay> i dont know what is possible
[21:17] <fcuk112> can i just say the elegant gnome theme is absolutely awesome
[21:17] <Lollipop56> yes you can xD
[21:17] <ManDay> i just thought there might be such an inconsitncey which caused skype to stop displayign video after normal updates
[21:17] <intrader> ManDay, with all updates my Skype is Ok. Reinstall skype
[21:17] <ManDay> intrader: i did two times
[21:17] <ManDay> cheese and the others display video all fine
[21:18] <fcuk112> ManDay, does cheese work?
[21:18] <ManDay> its just skype which doesnt work
[21:18] <fcuk112> ManDay, ah ok.
[21:18] <ManDay> i get a distinct error tho
[21:18] <ManDay> that is X Error: 138 Bad Alloc or so
[21:18] <ManDay> (wrong attributes)
[21:18] <Dewayne> I'm already suspecting no quick fix which is why I ended with... great!
[21:18] <ManDay> one second ill get that errof for you
[21:18] <intrader> ManDay, sorry to hear that. I have no advice.
[21:18] <jrib> Dewayne: no one knows what your actual issue is...
[21:18] <fcuk112> ManDay, upgrade to 10.10 :)
[21:19] <mike8901> What terminal do you guys recommend that supports searching and select all? (gnome-terminal doesn't)
[21:19] <mike8901> preferably not a KDE based one, since I don't want to blow 300mb of disk space on KDE libs
[21:19] <ManDay> The error I get is:
[21:19] <Dewayne> there was 3 solutions that I have tried and none worked. 1st one I believe had to do with firefox and to downgrade
[21:19] <m_fulder> hello
[21:19] <jrib> Dewayne: you're being too vague.
[21:20] <VCoolio> mike8901: urxvt  but you'll need a script to search output (or run screen or byobu inside any terminal
[21:20] <ManDay>  >> X Error, request 132, minor 18, error 8 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) <<<--- doesnt this look like the updates brought along an inconsitency?!?!
[21:20] <mike8901> VCoolio: I want something simple(no additional scripts).
[21:20] <m_fulder> I've installed ssh to my ubuntu comp .. and then I successfully connect to my comp using putt .. I enter the command : "x11vnc -ncache 10 -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0" ... and then try to connect through VNC (localhost:1) but fail to connect why is that?
[21:21] <Dewayne> didn't know how to go about doing that and step 2 was only availabe if a certain repository was up and runnin, it wasn't, so was left with havin' to wait til avail
[21:21] <CarkeyJay> lol
[21:21] <VCoolio> mike8901: it's not that difficult; but try byobu then, it's sort of a screen manager for commandline, or tmux
[21:21] <jrib> Dewayne: everytime you reply I know less and less.  Stop.  Take two minutes to collect your thoughts and write a detailed description of your issue on one line while linking to a pastebin with relevant logs/errors/whatever
[21:22] <mike8901> VCoolio: I don't think you understand what I want. I'm looking for something like Terminal.app in Mac OS X, where search, select all, etc. is baked into the GUI -- I'm _NOT_ looking for emulation of these features inside of the shell.
[21:22] <Dewayne> it is that one file jxodisomethingorother.so that is giving the problem and as far as movin' to 10.10... dont like the idea of no separation of / or /home
[21:23] <jrib> Dewayne: are you a bot or something?
[21:23] <wac__>
[21:23] <intrader> Dewayne, what do you mean no separation of / and /home.
[21:23] <kinki> hi
[21:24] <compaq> Dewayne, you can set your partitions manually
[21:24] <WhiteDawn> intrader, i think he means seperate mountpoints
[21:24] <Dewayne> if I read right, trying to unify or unite so looks like 1 drive system? rather that / or /home for new users...
[21:24] <compaq> Actually guys, I was trying to do an install on one computer, and Ubuntu kept failing so I installed debian instead
[21:24]  * dajhorn wonders whether Dewayne will pass the turing test
[21:25] <Dewayne> great
[21:25] <Dewayne> jus messin'
[21:25] <glebihan> to sum it up, Dewayne, you have a problem with something and you guess it's coming from some file...
[21:25] <jrib> Dewayne: don't do that please...
[21:25] <Lollipop56> how can I make show desktop in compiz work like in metacity?
[21:25] <Dewayne> wait one
[21:25] <WhiteDawn> Dewayne, doesnt ubuntu install everything into / by default?
[21:26] <bobstro> Dewayne:  you can certainly break your partitioning up however you like during install
[21:26] <tomeo> does Ubuntu come pre-equipped with vnc-client-software?
[21:26] <soreau> Lollipop56: What is different about it?
[21:26] <Dewayne> good question, I never tried.
[21:26] <bobstro> WhiteDawn:  you have an option to set it up manually however you'd like
[21:26] <WhiteDawn> tomeo,  I dont belive so, you can install it easly through the repos though
[21:26] <tommy__> http://pastesite.com/18972 How can I mount this encrypted partition, that the ubuntu alternative install disc formatted?
[21:26] <tomeo> WhiteDawn: not if Im not admin :)
[21:26] <Lollipop56> soreau, metacity's Show Desktop works like it does in Windoze, Compiz's doesn't, but I'm forced to use Compiz
[21:27] <tomeo> WhiteDawn: we use Ubuntu at school, cant install programs
[21:27] <kapcom01> hello, is it possible to boot from an lvm logical volume? i run grub-install /dev/VG/LV but i get an error...
[21:27] <soreau> Lollipop56: You said that already. I'm asking in what way is it different?
[21:27] <jrib> tomeo: see if vinagre is installed
[21:27] <Lollipop56> soreau, I can't explain, I dunno the terminology for it
[21:27] <tomeo> jrib: is that the client?
[21:28] <ganeshran> Hi I installed Apache just now but the var/www folder is not writable
[21:28] <jrib> !info vinagre | tomeo
[21:28] <VCoolio> mike8901: Eterm at least has a search function in the menus
[21:28] <jrib> !permissions | ganeshran
[21:28] <soreau> Lollipop56: How do you expect anyone to help you then?
[21:28] <glebihan> Lollipop56: in that case, there are lots of options for this with compiz, use "ccsm" till you find what you need
[21:28] <Lollipop56> ugh nvm
[21:28] <m_fulder> noone knows what the problem is? :(
[21:28] <Lollipop56> glebihan, I did, can't find it
[21:28] <jrib> !helpme | m_fulder
[21:29] <mkanyicy> ganeshran, you can change the ownership to you or add yourself to the www-data group and make sure that /var/www is group-writable
[21:29] <matrixOracle> is there a program that allows me to create rota's and store / print them?
[21:29] <soreau> Lollipop56: In ccsm, make sure Show Desktop is enabled. This plugin handles the animation of windows when show desktop happens
[21:29] <Lollipop56> ok I'll check again
[21:29] <ganeshran> Hi all I am not able to modify permissions. It says I am not the owner :(
[21:29] <embrik> I'm trying to help a friend of mine rescuing data from a corrupted hd - have had gddrescue running for three days. And it has made an img-file on 32 gb - do you think I should try something else?
[21:29] <ganeshran> mkanyicy: can you point me to a link where this is shown. thanks
[21:29] <Lollipop56> soreau, I can't find that
[21:30] <soreau> Lollipop56: In the upper left of ccsm, there is a Filter box. Type 'show desktop' there
[21:30] <mkanyicy> ganeshran, i dont have a link
[21:30] <Lollipop56> I did
[21:30] <mkanyicy> ganeshran, that should work
[21:30] <Lollipop56> doesn't match any items
[21:30] <ganeshran> mkanyicy: is there a command or a GUI optionto do it
[21:30] <soreau> Lollipop56: Do you have compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package installed?
[21:31] <Lollipop56> oo prob not
[21:31] <Lollipop56> Ill install that
[21:31] <embrik> is there an easier way to rescue data from a hd? Can I use clonezilla? Is there a way to tell clonezilla to just skip bac sectors?
[21:31] <soreau> Lollipop56: After installing it, you will need to restart both compiz and ccsm
[21:31] <Lollipop56> does that mean I ahve to log out and back in?
[21:32] <mkanyicy> ganeshran, 'sudo chown username:www-data /var/www'
[21:32] <mkanyicy> ganeshran, and note I did not use -R option
[21:32] <rahulkmr> Anyone on ATI Radeon on 10.4? How do I know if the video memory is used? fglrx was causing troubles and now it's running without xorg.conf. lspci -vv shows the memory as disabled for my card
[21:32] <dajhorn> embrik: Do a 'mount -o ro /dev/BadDisk /mnt' and use the tar option '--ignore-failed-read'.  Tar won't retry the failed reads, and you'll get a tarball with holes.
[21:32] <dajhorn> embrik: Alternatively,  use ddrescue from the command line and set the retry count to zero or one.
[21:32] <mkanyicy> ganeshran, my /var/www has these properties: drwxr-x---  6 mkanyicy www-data 4.0K 2010-09-13 20:24 www
[21:33] <embrik> dajhorn, thanks
[21:33] <glebihan> Lollipop56: no just type "compiz --replace" after opening the execute dialog (Alt+F2)
[21:33] <Exxon> hi
[21:33] <dajhorn> embrik: Welcome.
[21:33] <mkanyicy> hi Exxon
[21:33] <Lollipop56> glebihan and soreau, good news, I didn't restart Compiz, and CCSM shows me Show Desktop now
[21:34] <mike8901> VCoolio: I did sudo apt-get install eterm, but `eterm` doesn't work. Ideas?
[21:34] <soreau> Lollipop56: compiz != ccsm. You should run compiz --replace like glebihan said
[21:34] <Lollipop56> ok
[21:34] <Lollipop56> sorry
[21:34] <intrader> ActionParsnip, should I try ubuntu 10.10?
[21:34] <jrib> !away > masen-away
[21:34] <jimmy51_> is this feasible: have existing WinPE working on a partition. want to replace windows bootloader with lilo. can i do this?
[21:34] <DrPoO> how can i see how much ram a particular process is consuming?
[21:34] <m_fulder> !repeat
[21:34] <erUSUL> DrPoO: ps
[21:35] <VCoolio> mike8901: try Eterm, with capital E
[21:35] <erUSUL> DrPoO: or top/htop
[21:35] <intrader> DrPoO, perhaps `top` will help you - or `htop`.
[21:35] <mike8901> VCoolio: that works(but damn is that stupid, going against convention)
[21:36] <Jordan_U> kazaik: The install device should be something like /dev/sda (your /boot/ can be on LVM, but since it's not a real device a bootloader cannot be installed there).
[21:36] <mike8901> VCoolio: There's still no select all(or even copy!) commands.
[21:36] <Lollipop56> soreau, I didn't even have to enable it and it works now
[21:36] <soreau> Lollipop56: great
[21:37] <m_fulder> I've installed ssh to my ubuntu comp .. and then I successfully connect to my comp using putt .. I enter the command : "x11vnc -ncache 10 -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0" ... and then try to connect through VNC (localhost:1) but fail to connect why is that?
[21:37] <mike8901> bah, screw it. I'm just SSHing in with Terminal.app
[21:37] <DrPoO> is there a package that can update sources.lst to the nearest mirror?
[21:37] <Lollipop56> thx for helping soreau
[21:37] <VCoolio> mike8901: you can left click for begin, scroll, right click at end to select stuff, middle mouse will paste
[21:37] <Lollipop56> and glebihan
[21:37] <intrader> ActionParsnip, sorry to ask again, I am downloading 10.10 beta, should I try ubuntu 10.10 beta?
[21:37] <erUSUL> DrPoO: System>Admin>software sources
[21:37] <DrPoO> erUSUL, but from the command line?
[21:37] <embrik> dajhorn, can't find any options for retry count in gddrescue
[21:37] <mike8901> VCoolio: This all seems really hackish and not user friendly. Is there really no user-friendly terminal app for Linux?
[21:37] <Daniel> why?
[21:37] <timposey> I am trying to fix a problem with xsane.. for some reason it will not scan error message says Failed to start scanner:  Error during device I/O  can anyone tell me where to start on this...
[21:37] <erUSUL> DrPoO: no; i do not know of any
[21:38] <VCoolio> mike8901: a lot, but you /need/ it all in the menus, I don't know about that
[21:38] <jrib> mike8901: gnome-terminal is pretty user-friendly.  But it's a terminal, what do you really need?
[21:38] <embrik> dajhorn, or, well, could you please help with the tar-line - I'd rather try that
[21:38] <mike8901> jrib: Select all, and search. Those are really basic features.
[21:38] <intrader> Due to keylogger, I am forced to reinstall, I am downloading 10.10 beta, should I try ubuntu 10.10 beta?
[21:39] <erUSUL> mike8901: i find all many of them; user-friendly. suporting search on what is in a terminal is a very weird requirement. what is the use for that feature?
[21:39] <Clemens> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a windows machine. After a few seconds I get a black screen with a notification that the mount of the filesystem failed (or something like that). Anyone know what that could be ?
[21:39] <dajhorn> embrik: Mount the bad disk read-only on /mnt, and then run something like `tar --verbose --create --file MyBackup.tar --ignore-failed-reads /mnt`
[21:39] <mike8901> erUSUL: Looking through build logs without having to pipe them to a file and grep through them.
[21:39] <ganeshran> mkanyicy: The command sudo chown <myusername> . worked
[21:39] <ganeshran> I executed it from var/www
[21:40] <ganeshran> Now am able to create new folders and files and am showing as the owner of the folder
[21:40] <maedox> mike8901: try grep -r 'string' dir-name ;)
[21:40] <erUSUL> mike8901: pipe to grep directly or to a pager
[21:40] <dajhorn> embrik: The MyBackup.tar file will be large, so you'll probably want to put it on a second good disk.
[21:40] <jrib> mike8901: gnome-terminal has select all
[21:40] <e01> hello, did somebody knows if totem in new ubuntu 10.10 will support subtitle options like moving in black border?
[21:40] <erUSUL> mike8901: or pipe to grep then to the pager
[21:40] <mkanyicy> ganeshran, that sounds great!
[21:40] <intrader> dajhorn, try installing from CD, not from windows. It will detect windows and allow you to dual boot.
[21:40] <mike8901> madeox: That is a pain. I just want to do ctrl+S and type in what I'm looking for!
[21:40] <dajhorn> intrader: Not me.
[21:40] <embrik> dajhorn, so if I am on the second, healthy disk when i write this, the MyBackup file well be on that hd?
[21:40] <ganeshran> thanks mkanyicy and others. will come once i face next hurdle :)
[21:41] <Daniel> That tactic consists on simulate a brush guards with your own arms
[21:41] <dajhorn> embrik: Yes, if you booted from that disk.
[21:41] <intrader> dajhorn, sorry
[21:41] <mkanyicy> ganeshran, no prob
[21:41] <maedox> mike8901: ctrl-s? I don't think a linux terminal is for you then. Learn to use the shell and you will see that it is more powerful than anything with a key combo.
[21:41] <amtd> can a world of warcraft + ubuntu 10.04 user please help me
[21:41] <nothingspecial> mike8901: I`ve missed what you are trying to do but if you view a log with less, you can press /   then enter your search term - n for next occurance - p for previous
[21:42] <mike8901> nothingspecial: My workflow is like this: type make, then press ctrl+s to go back and search for failed files.
[21:42] <embrik> dajhorn,
[21:42] <mike8901> Terminal.app does this just fine
[21:42] <x0rs> Why would anyone NOT use linux? I mean Apple keeps all their future releases super secret and hidden from the public. Ubuntu releases all the information for their future developments as soon as they have them, and there are free applications that do everything!
[21:42] <mike8901> I don't want to pipe. I don't want funky temrinal commands. I just want my damn ctrl+s to work!
[21:42] <maedox> ctrl-s means save file!
[21:43] <maedox> lol, sorry, but you were screaming :D
[21:43] <mike8901> sorry, ctrl+f
[21:43] <erUSUL> maedox: in bash is search forward in history ;P
[21:43] <mkanyicy> how to re-view the previous file with vim when you have already typed :n for the next one?
[21:43] <VCoolio> mike8901: if you need to do it the apple way, stay with apple; if you want to do it better, learn the shell way
[21:43] <maedox> erUSUL: true :D
[21:43] <erUSUL> mkanyicy: #vim
[21:43] <dajhorn> mike8901: In Ubuntu,  that command is CTRL+SHIFT+F.   Linux is not Mac OS X, and you'll never get a 1-to-1 replacement for it.
[21:43] <embrik> dajhorn, No I didn't boot from that disk, then I have to give the whole path in fromt of MyaBackup.tar, like /media/newvolume/MyBackup.tar?
[21:43] <jrib> mike8901: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78963 follow that I guess.  Though really you should just pipe to less or something
[21:43] <dajhorn> embrik: Yes, do it that way.
[21:43] <mkanyicy> erUSUL, ok
[21:43] <amtd> i need help with wine1.2
[21:45] <SpinachHead> Hmm, somehow using Ubuntu Tweak for square worked for Hulu, versus just placing it in the /plugins/ folder, must be Tweak configuring it
[21:47] <nothingspecial> mike8901: turn terminal logging on then search that file, just press arrow up key
[21:47] <nothingspecial> mike8901: to get last command
[21:48] <mike8901> I just ended up SSHing into my Ubuntu machine from Terminal.app. It's the workflow I'm used to.
[21:48] <wpecker> Hi, can someone tell me how to make pulseaudio server listen on localhost only?
[21:49] <wpecker> and not <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:49] <jrib> mike8901: well urxvt can search in the scrollback fine as I just discovered
[21:51] <nothingspecial> mike8901: Cool, but like i said, terminal logging, the script command will put all output in a file. make  -  less file.txt Just keep pressing the up arrows
[21:51] <tommy__> Where can I get new kernels for old ubuntu installs?
[21:51] <mike8901> nothingspecial: My main gripe with that is then I have to maintain a separate file. I don't want to have to explicitly deal with that.
[21:52] <nothingspecial> mike8901: ok, just trying to help :)
[21:52] <mike8901> thanks.
[21:52] <nothingspecial> mike8901: no problem
[21:53] <erUSUL> mike8901: http://software.jessies.org/terminator/
[21:53] <ppq> tommy__, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[21:54] <embrik2> dajhorn, I wrote this: sudo tar --verbose --create --file /media/NewVolume/backup.tar --ignore-failed--reads /mnt
[21:54] <embrik2> and got this message: tar: unrecognized option `--ignore-failed--reads
[21:56] <tensorpudding> probably should be --ignore-failed-reads
[21:56] <embrik2> found it - not reads but read
[21:56] <hdgc> hi, I have problems with cheese
[21:56] <hdgc> libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Dispositivo ó recurso ocupado
[21:57] <embrik2> tensorpudding, yes, it was one - too much as well
[21:58] <norland> I get NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN when trying to see my shares for samba4 using smbclient in Ubuntu 10.04 desktop.  Any Ideas?
[21:58] <hdgc> I have ubuntu 10.10 64 bits
[21:58] <erUSUL> mike8901: is slow as hell ....
[21:59] <Seppoz> hello, there was a sandbox edition of ubuntu, anybody remeber its name?
[21:59] <kthomas_vh> do I have to be sent to unregged *EVERY* time my client joins before my identification has been completed?
[21:59] <embrik2> dajhorn, I guess it isn't possible to point out which folders to tar?
[21:59] <tleeonly> anybody know how to print out cards from american greetings site using ubuntu 10.04
[21:59] <jrib> kthomas_vh: tell your client not to try joining before it identifies
[21:59] <kthomas_vh> heh
[22:03] <wpecker> can someone tell me how to make pulseaudio server listen on localhost only and not <IP_ADDRESS>?
[22:04] <mccrase90> what do you have to have to run flash on ubuntu?
[22:04] <KindOne> mccrase90: open terminal, type " sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree "
[22:05] <Zarred> For a secondary Hard Drive in Ubuntu is it better to format it ext3 or ext4?
[22:05] <KindOne> mccrase90: that should install flash on ubuntu, its been awhile since i have done it
[22:05] <naptastic> Help! I intended to uninstall and reinstall grub-pc package in attempt to fix my bootloader. Remove went fine, but now it won't install again! "grub-pc: Depends: grub-common (= 1.98-1ubuntu5) but 1.98-1ubuntu7 is to be installed"
[22:05] <mccrase90> KindOne: thanks, i'll try it out and see what happens
[22:05] <lorenzocabrini> Zarred: I wonder if you would even notice the difference in most cases.
[22:05] <jrib> naptastic: run "sudo apt-get update" first
[22:06] <Gogi> hiiiall
[22:06] <Gogi> can anyone help me
[22:06] <mccrase90> i'll have to finish my upgrade first, if it doesn't work however i'll be back thanks kindone
[22:06] <OerHeks> !ask
[22:07] <naptastic> jrib, Okay, I did that and am still getting the same error.
[22:07] <Gogi> Can anyone help me?
[22:07] <CarkeyJay> I cant figure out my desktop.  random things appear on it, and it won't let me delete them.  I just don't get it :\
[22:07] <jrib> naptastic: pastebin: apt-cache policy grub-common grup-pc   as well as your /etc/apt/sources.list*
[22:07] <Zarred> lorenzocabrini: ok thanks.
[22:07] <tleeonly> I am trying to print an american greetings card in ubuntu it doesnt print why
[22:08] <VCoolio> CarkeyJay: define 'random things'
[22:08] <_ruben> Gogi: how is anyone (however that might be) going to be able to help you without stating the problem?!
[22:09] <naptastic> jrib, brb
[22:09] <CarkeyJay> vcoolio: well just now an icon called factory image appeared there.  i think its a partition.
[22:09] <Gogi> @rubenI am trying to connect through desktop viewer to my win based pc.but it is not getting connect
[22:10] <VCoolio> CarkeyJay: open gconf-editor, go to apps > nautilus > desktop and disable showing media or something like that, there are options there
[22:10] <Gogi> ruben: I am trying to connect through desktop viewer to my win based pc.but it is not getting connect.what to do?
[22:10] <ten10> so does  ubuntu support me compiling my own video drivers? some tool in #fedora was a spaz and said I couldnt as fedora is a distro
[22:10] <VCoolio> CarkeyJay: maybe it's also in nautilus (the file manager), edit > preferences, not sure
[22:10] <embrik> dajhorn, ok, thanks it's running - I'll give it a night and a day - then we'll see
[22:10] <tleeonly> never mind
[22:10] <_ruben> Gogi: 3 common causes: you're using the wrong program (i dont know desktop viewer's abilities), or the windows machine doesnt have remote desktop enabled, or the windows machine has its firewall turned on
[22:11] <CarkeyJay> vcoolio: thank you very much
[22:11] <VCoolio> CarkeyJay: no problem
[22:11] <jrib> ten10: it's recommended you use the repositories as that's the whole point of using a distro.  You can do whatever you want of course (and can probably do whatever you want on fedora too).  But you should read ubottu's documentation and strongly consider just using what the distro provides
[22:11] <naptastic> jrib, http://fpaste.org/sSdt/
[22:11] <jrib> !nvidia > ten10
[22:12] <naptastic> jrib, I see that the other version is available. How do I tell apt-get to install that one"?
[22:12] <Gogi> _ruben:but i made windows to connect to remote computers.then also it is showing error as:connection was closed.
[22:12] <jrib> naptastic: you don't have the lucid-updates repository enabled.  You probably should (and then this problem will go away)
[22:12] <ten10> well, ubuntu answer was a bit more frindly than #fedora
[22:13] <ten10> friendly too
[22:13] <ten10> my specific thing is with intel i915 video drivers
[22:13] <naptastic> jrib, omg! I didn't realize that was off. Thank you!!!
[22:13] <hdgc> libv4l2: error setting pixformat, when  I use cheese...\
[22:14] <jrib> ten10: there's probably not much point in compiling those unless you're being affected by some specific bug you know has been fixed very recently
[22:14] <hdgc> Can anyone help me?
[22:14] <jrib> naptastic: no problem
[22:15] <ten10> jrib hmm not sure.. i have dual display.. and I wanted to get my panels to display n the 2nd display
[22:15] <ten10> this is on fc13 tho
[22:15] <Gogi> how to enable my wifi hardware?
[22:15] <ten10> guessing this is more of a limitation of gnome
[22:16] <jrib> ten10: you should ask the #fedora channel how to setup dual displays with the intel driver they provide probably.  I don't know anything about it myself; I've only used dual displays with nvidia
[22:16] <embrik2> dajhorn, I get input/Output error - should I call it a day and toss the hd away?
[22:16] <bobstro> ten10:  is it your primary display?
[22:16] <ten10> yeah unfortunately the company i work for doesnt have laptops with nvidia display in it
[22:17] <Gogi> can anyone help me?
[22:17] <Gogi> how to enable my wifi hardware?
[22:17] <ten10> bobstro my laptop display is to the left, my lcd is tot her right.. each work fine, just want panels to be on the lcd and laptop
[22:17] <bobstro> ten10:  same on both?
[22:17] <wpecker> can someone tell me how to make pulseaudio server listen on localhost only and not <IP_ADDRESS>?
[22:17] <cowbud> I am trying to setup preseed unattended install and when I first boot off of the ubuntu net install it asks me for a mirror and a http proxy. What can I append to my kernel line to get rid of this? Everything else is automatically selected.
[22:17] <bobstro> ten10:  you can have one span, iirc.
[22:18] <ten10> bobstro no, not mirrored
[22:18] <wpecker> <<<<<< can someone tell me how to make pulseaudio server listen on localhost only and not <IP_ADDRESS>? >>>>>>
[22:18] <jrib> wpecker: please don't do that
[22:18] <wpecker> ok sorry
[22:18] <Gogi> can anyone tell me how to enable my wifi hardware?
[22:18] <jrib> !wifi > Gogi
[22:18] <tommy__> How can I read ext4 partitions on Ubuntu hardy?
[22:19] <ten10> my video displays are different resolutuions (which is what I want).. just wish I could move primary panel to my lcd
[22:19] <bobstro> ten10:  you can't just move it around? or create a new one?
[22:20] <bobstro> ten10:  i'm able to drag mine between to differently sized displays.
[22:20] <ten10> bobstro no, which is why i'm having a overall crappy time in stupid fedora right about now
[22:20] <ten10> which window manager are you using?
[22:20] <bobstro> ten10:  gnome
[22:20] <bobstro> ten10:  with the compiz toys
[22:20] <CarkeyJay> awesome i found all these system tools that were hidden
[22:21] <ten10> yeah same, compwiz enabled
[22:21] <bobstro> ten10:  you can't just drag it around?
[22:21] <ten10> nope, they are stuck :)
[22:21] <jrib> ten10: xrandr wiki claims you can alt-drag
[22:22] <bobstro> ten10:  is 'expand' option set?
[22:22] <ten10> ahhh alt did it, tho a bit weird abotu it
[22:22] <ten10> it doesn't show it "shadowed" or greyed when moving
[22:22] <hdgc> libv4l2: error setting pixformat, when  I use cheese...any idea??
[22:23] <ten10> so when I dragged it into lcd monitor it just plops down when i released
[22:23] <ten10> normally i would expect to see an outline of the dragging bar for placement, weird
[22:23] <xbonesx> I know that usplash was replaced with plymouth, but can you remove plymouth and install usplash???
[22:24] <ShogunOfHarlem1> Any VPN and/or Upstart gurus for 10.04 in here? =)
[22:24] <bobstro> ten10:  mine just moves
[22:24] <ppq> xbonesx, it's possible to remove plymouth, but it's recommended not to to that. it's a little risky
[22:25] <ppq> xbonesx, but i dont think its possible to install usplash
[22:25] <ten10> bobstro: who knows.. i'm not even sure which gnome release is on here
[22:25] <ten10> might be a subtle difference
[22:26] <xbonesx> ppq: well im going to resort to refomatting and then trying this "http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml" before i install anykind of "startupmanager" or "gnomesplashmanager".
[22:27] <xbonesx> ppq: i think that was the problem why this link isnt working
[22:27] <mattish> daft question, ive added my ssh public key to both root and a unpriv user on a box, now i can ssh in as root with my priv key but as the user it still asks for a password
[22:28] <mattish> what am i overlooking ?
[22:28] <ShogunOfHarlem1> Anyone got a clue why with an Openvpn style vpn, I have to run "sudo ufw disable" every 10 minutes or so or I wind up getting sendmsg failed from ping over the VPN?
[22:28] <jrib> mattish: probably a permissions issue or you didn't actually add the right key.  Check server logs and run the client with -vvv
[22:28] <RooblyRoo> Hello, I've got an old nVidia card (TNT) which seems to require the 71.*.* version of the proprietary graphics driver.  But the oldest version in the Lucid repository is 96.*.*.  Does anyone know if the 71 version is somewhere, and/or if it's supported in the latest version of Ubuntu?
[22:28] <ten10> i ran gnome-control-center and do not see any reference for panel layout either.. rather disconcerning
[22:29] <mattish> the authorized_keys file is 600, owned by the user, ill try with verbose
[22:30] <bobstro> mattgyver, jrib: don't authorized_keys permissions need to be 0600?
[22:30] <bobstro> mattish:  wups - - you beat me to it.
[22:30] <plitter> how can i upgrade the kernel and if it doesnt work go back to the old one? I've read on launchpad that one of my issues with my sony vaio might be cured with kernel 2.6.34
[22:31] <ikonia> plitter: login to ubuntu and update manager will offer the new kernel as an update package
[22:31] <ikonia> plitter: the old kernel will be kept on the system, you just use grub to select which one to boot
[22:32] <mattish> Im not sure what im looking at now :(
[22:32] <hdgc> plitter: apt-cache search linux-image, choose and install the package
[22:32] <ppq> plitter, for 2.6.34 ou need this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/
[22:33] <plitter> ppq: k, which one do i choose?
[22:33] <plitter> ppq: i have 64 bit system
[22:33] <ppq> Plinker_, linux-image, amd64 version
[22:33] <ppq> * plitter
[22:33] <ppq> sorry, Plinker_
[22:34] <plitter> ppq: headers too?
[22:34] <ppq> if you need to compile kernel modules or nvidia binary driver - yes
[22:35] <plitter> ppq: i have nvidia but i havent installed the proprietary drivers yet
[22:35] <ikonia> plitter: keep in mind if you install a kernel from a PPA your system will be unsupported
[22:35] <mattish> i dont see the line server accepts key .. maybe i just did put it in the authorized_keys file wrong
[22:35] <ShogunOfHarlem1> Anyone familiar with upstart? my upstart job doesn't seem to be run by the system, but if I "sudo start myjob" then it will run succesfully
[22:35] <ppq> plitter, if you plan to install the binary driver, you should install the headers, too
[22:36] <plitter> ikonia: will it catch up or am i forever unsupported?
[22:36] <ikonia> plitter: forever
[22:36] <ikonia> plitter: PPA's are totally unsupported by anyone other than their vendor
[22:37] <Mrokii> Hello. Can anybody recommend a good webDAV-client (preferably GUI-, not Terminal-driven)? I need something to upload some files to the gmx-mediacenter.
[22:37] <erUSUL> Mrokii: Places>Connect to Server does not work ?
[22:38] <kakebuke> hi all
[22:38] <plitter> ikonia: is there a way of doing it so that i dont become unsupported`
[22:38] <plitter> ?
[22:38] <kakebuke> i have a little problem, and i don't know if here is the place to ask
[22:38] <ikonia> plitter: no
[22:38] <Mrokii> erUSUL:  What do you mean? I tried to upload some images via their regular web-interface, but FF times out (I think it takes too long to upload the file(s).
[22:38] <plitter> ikonia: and if i were unsupported what would that mean? would it just be that my kernel wouldnt update with ubuntu?
[22:38] <ppq> well, removing the linux-image and headers packages and booting the ubuntu-kernel turns your ubuntu into an original ubuntu again. these kernel come from ubuntu kernel team, they don't contain any ubuntu-specific changes, they are called 'mainline'-kernel
[22:38] <VCoolio> kakebuke: if it's about ubuntu this is the place, ask and wait for reply
[22:39] <kakebuke> i have an ubuntu installation wich i have to use at school and at home, and at school suddenly it can't load Xwindows
[22:39] <ppq> but it's right that your system becomes unsupported once you install it
[22:39] <Gogi> my finger print sensor is not working on ubuntu.what to do?
[22:39] <ikonia> plitter: it means updates may not happen / be offered due to your kernel being out os sync, and it means asking for help with your OS will be not supported
[22:39] <kakebuke> is there any way to reconfigure de Xorg via terminal??
[22:39] <erUSUL> Mrokii: i ask if you tried the built in suport for webdav in nautilus ( the file manager)
[22:39] <Jordan_U> plitter: If you install a 2.6.34 kernel then after 10.10 is released, if you upgrade to 10.10 it's kernel is 2.6.35 and so will be used. At that point you will be using a supported kernel again.
[22:39] <Mrokii> erUSUL:  I didn't even know that Nautils has that, heh.
[22:40] <erUSUL> Mrokii: then go to Places>connect to server and try it
[22:40] <ppq> plitter, right, you wont get any kernel updates when you use the mainline one
[22:40] <Mrokii> erUSUL:  Thank you, I will.
[22:40] <jeremy04> hey. My sys admin updated to 10.04. I need to also upgrade to ruby 1.9.2 from 1.8.7, but im worried that will kill all my gems installed 1.8.7.. is this true?
[22:40] <ppq> plitter, at least when you remove the ubuntu kernel. you dont have to do this.
[22:41] <plitter> Jordan_U: ikonia: ppq: so if i just install a kernel from "scratch" then when i update it will go back to being supported?
[22:41] <ikonia> plitter: no
[22:41] <ikonia> plitter: it will never be suported
[22:41] <Jordan_U> ikonia: When 10.10 is released, if he upgrades to it he will then be using a supported kernel again.
[22:42] <plitter> ikonia: aah, if i upgrade to 10.10 it will be supported
[22:42] <kakebuke> i don't want to spam, but does somebody know how to reconfigure xwindows from terminal?
[22:42] <Jordan_U> plitter: But 10.10 itself isn't supported yet :)
[22:42] <ikonia> Jordan_U: no, as it will still be the PPA kernel, not the stable one
[22:42] <ikonia> plitter: it will not be supported
[22:43] <Jordan_U> ikonia: The kernel "ppa" isn't a real PPA. You just install individual packages.
[22:43] <ikonia> it is a PPA
[22:43] <ikonia> it has packages with dependenceis
[22:44] <Jordan_U> ikonia: But as far as I understand, it does not present itself as a package repository. i.e. you can't add it to your sources.list and get updates automatically.
[22:44] <hdgc> kakebuke:  maybe you can do it: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:44] <kakebuke> hdgc: yeah, i've tried, but it says that it's already installed and does nothing
[22:45] <ChogyDan> kakebuke: what are you trying to do?
[22:45] <ikonia> Jordan_U: it will change teh dependcy requirements of his current system, which can and will effect the upgrade path and stability
[22:45] <kakebuke> and problem is that i cant uninstall and reinstall it, becouse internet isn't working
[22:45] <dmr> hey
[22:46] <Jordan_U> ikonia: True.
[22:46] <kakebuke> chogudan: i have a hard disk with ubuntu 10.04 installed and i use it at home with and old amd 3500+ with an ATI vga and a compuiter at school with an nvidia integrated graphics card
[22:46] <kakebuke> problem is that at home it works, but suddenly, at school, xorg fails to load
[22:46] <ZykoticK9> kakebuke, to reconfigure xorg see my steps at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[22:47] <Gogi> my finger print scanner is not working on ubuntu.what to do?
[22:47] <kakebuke> soes 10.04 still uses xorg.conf file?
[22:47] <ZykoticK9> kakebuke, it will if you generate one
[22:47] <kakebuke> coz i've read that its no longer used or something like that
[22:47] <plitter> Jordan_U: ikonia: ppq: i think i am going to upgrade the kernel, then just upgrade to 10.10 when it comes
[22:47] <plitter> its not far
[22:47] <dmr> i have a lil prblem i just instaled ubuntu 10.04    and i can't  acces my data on the ather hdd where i have installed mandriva it says to me   "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "dmr"
[22:47] <ChogyDan> kakebuke: you probably want to follow ZykoticK9's directions, and just swap xorg.confs as needed
[22:47] <kakebuke> i will take a look at it
[22:48] <kakebuke> thank you so much guys! i hope it works!
[22:48] <ChogyDan> plitter: i've installed various kernels and was fine.  Just leave a last known working one.
[22:48] <kakebuke> its my first time at irc since... 10 years ago? i had little hope in finding a solution here, so THANKS!
[22:48] <Jordan_U> plitter: Can you just wait 13 days (i.e. don't install a newer kernel manually at all)?
[22:49] <mads-> Hi. I am trying to run a program and it says "error while loading shared libraries: libglfw.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", Where does ubuntu normally look for this libglfw.so file, so I can make a symlink. Thanks
[22:49] <Jigal> hello my package manager says: the package information was updated 143 days ago and this while i did a few updates today and last week
[22:49] <uvacav> anyone else have any issues with wireless running very slow (downloading updates at 10kb/sec) on 10.10 beta rls
[22:49] <sinman> got couple quetions, firstg question is why everytime i start my irc i been getting the #ubuntu-unregged first when i am registered
[22:49] <plitter> Jordan_U: but thats 13 days of waiting:P
[22:49] <Jordan_U> uvacav: #ubuntu+1 for 10.10
[22:49] <ChesterX> is there an alternative to macbuntu for ubuntu netbook?
[22:49] <Mrokii> erUSUL:  I tried using the "connect to server"-menuentry, but Nautilus tells me that it can not resolve the hostname. (which, according to gmx is "https://mediacenter.gmx.net").
[22:49] <uvacav> Jordan_U: thanks
[22:50] <Jordan_U> uvacav: You're welcome.
[22:50] <ZykoticK9> sinman, for me - it depends on where i'm connecting from.  at home, i don't get the unregged channel, but from school i do???
[22:50] <sweetpi> sinman: maybe your client is joining #ubuntu before you authenticate
[22:50] <dmr> i have a little problem i just instaled ubuntu 10.04    and i can't  acces my data on the ather hdd where i have installed mandriva it says to me   "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "dmr"
[22:51] <erUSUL> Mrokii: :/ i get the same error; dunno what is wrong
[22:51] <sinman> how would i fix it so i can authenticate first then goto #ubuntu
[22:51] <ZykoticK9> dmr, are you using encryption, or LVM on the mandriva box?
[22:51] <ChogyDan> !identify | sinman
[22:51] <sinman> to avoid the #ubuntu-unregged
[22:51] <sinman> k
[22:52] <ChogyDan> sinman: I think just plug it into your client as your password  (there is an option in pidgin)
[22:52] <dmr> ZykoticK9, don't know really :(
[22:52] <Mrokii> erUSUL:  Okay, thanks anyway, I will see if I can find something suitable in the repos.
[22:52] <sinman> i use smuxi
[22:52] <erUSUL> Mrokii: good luck
[22:52] <ZykoticK9> dmr, either "could" be an issue.  have you tried manually mounting from terminal (get any errors/output)?
[22:53] <sinman> oh wow i forgot what my second question was now. lol
[22:53] <dmr> ZykoticK9,  i have not tried manually cause i do not know how
[22:54] <ZykoticK9> dmr, do you know what device/partition eg SDA1 you want to mount?
[22:55] <Mrokii> erUSUL:  Thanks, Though "DAVExplorer" (from the repos) doesn't seem to connect either. :/ Possibly a gmx-problem.
[22:55] <hdgc> libv4l2: error setting pixformat, this happens when  I use cheese...any idea??
[22:55] <ananse_ntontan> hey all, I just wanted to ask really quick if there was any benefit right now in jumping in the 10.10 beta?
[22:55] <kneaux> can someone help me straighten out an issue with a couple of scripts i've set up to connect a slave machine to a remote server automatically at startup, then reconnect when disconnected?
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> !maverick | ananse_ntontan
[22:56] <ZykoticK9> ananse_ntontan, 10.10 discussion in #ubuntu+1
[22:56] <dmr> ZykoticK9,  no man couse i do not payed atention when the install toked place, i was thinkin that's gonna be easy to acces the data :(
[22:56] <ananse_ntontan> thanks guys
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> kneaux: if they are bash based you'd be better asking in #bash as well
[22:57] <kneaux> k, will do
[22:57] <detrix42> What does it mean when memory is "unganged'  I see this reported in my bios.  I asked this question in ##hardware, but still no response.  thought I would get a faster answer her. sorry for being abit off topic.
[22:57] <hdgc> libv4l2: error setting pixformat..., this happens when  I use cheese...anyone can help me???
[22:57] <ZykoticK9> dmr, how "easy" it is depends on how Mandriva does it's partitioning, and if you encrypted any folders (neither of which I know), best of luck man.
[22:57] <quidnunc> What is the default MTA in ubuntu?
[22:57] <Braber01> question how do I regester?
[22:57] <hdgc> libv4l2: error setting pixformat..., this happens when  I use cheese...can anyone help me???
[22:57] <bobstro> detrix42:  unmatched memory pair i think. i just added ram, and now i get that too.
[22:57] <ZykoticK9> !register > Braber01
[22:58] <quidnunc> !mta
[22:58] <Braber01> !register > Braber01
[22:58] <erUSUL> quidnunc: postfix
[22:58] <bobstro> detrix42:  did you add a pair of memory sticks recently?
[22:58] <jeremy04> hey any ruby uers on know if upgrading to 1.9.2 will force me to reinstall all my gems???
[22:58] <detrix42> bobstro: I just bought the pair, they should be matched
[22:58] <bobstro> detrix42:  cheap stuff?
[22:58] <Name141> Is it possible to remove windows partitions with some tool?  my CD-RW went out and I can't run install it seems , so I can repartition the drive.
[22:58] <Name141> Maybe gpart?
[22:58] <detrix42> bobstro: they are the only two stick
[22:59] <sinman> i remeber the other question what other desktop are there beside gnome and kde, I would like to add another one or 2 along with my gnome
[22:59] <Braber01> !MailServer
[22:59] <bobstro> detrix42:  you have to be careful that they actuall specify they are paired. i can't think of the actual term now.
[22:59] <ZykoticK9> Braber01, if you want to see a factoid privately (ie doesn't show up in the channel), you can use "/msg ubottu !facotid"
[22:59] <erUSUL> Name141: use the partition editor
[22:59] <erUSUL> !gparted | Name141
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> Name141: boot to liveUSB and you can resize / repartition as you wish
[22:59] <bobstro> detrix42:  they'll work fine, but you can get better performance (and pay more) for matched.
[22:59] <dubsided> What is the current version of ubuntu's nickname? Ie intrepid
[22:59] <ZykoticK9> dubsided, lucid
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> !lucid | dubsided
[22:59] <detrix42> bobstro: great. I will look into that then.
[22:59] <Name141> ActionParsnip: It's a pre2000 machine
[22:59] <dubsided> thank you
[22:59] <Name141> ActionParsnip: I don't think I could
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> Name141: check in bios
[23:00] <quidnunc> dubsided: maverick is due to be released in the next few weeks
[23:00] <Name141> erUSUL: So I need gparted?
[23:00] <dubsided> excelent, I look forward to it. I am downloading lucid as we speak.
[23:00] <Name141> ActionParsnip: OK.
[23:00] <dgtl> hi again. still having problems with ubuntu installer not properly detecting my partitions for installation
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> Name141: you can always borrow a PATA drive to attach but don't screw it in etc, just to get installed
[23:00] <Name141> ActionParsnip: actually, it will say "USB device" ?
[23:00] <detrix42> bobstro: do you consider Kingston to be cheap????
[23:00] <erUSUL> Name141: well it has gui; you can use fdisk or whatever other tool you like
[23:01] <Jordan_U> dgtl: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "sudo fdisk -l"?
[23:01] <Name141> ActionParsnip: in BIOS that is ?
[23:01] <dgtl> gparted and the install just found one big drive with 250gb, the disc utility detects it correctly
[23:01] <ZykoticK9> dubsided, fyi the new ubuntu version comes out in 13 days (but isn't an LTS like lucid is)

[23:04] <sinman> question on partitions.. the partiton for / how big can i make it for a 1TB hdd, i think I might got it way to big
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> Name141: then you'll have to borrow an optical drive, power off the system and attatch it, you can balance it on some books for the duration of the install.
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> sinman: 10Gb is plenty
[23:05] <quidnunc> What do I need to do to receive system mail?
[23:05] <erUSUL> sinman: 10-15 GiB may suffice depending on the machine usage
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> sinman: make swap the same amount as your ram for 2Gb ram and more, or 2x ram if you have less, then use the rest for /home
[23:05] <Jordan_U> Name141: You can setup grub2 to load Ubuntu from an iso file, setting it up so that Ubuntu copies the entire iso into RAM at boot so that everything can be unmounted
[23:05] <ShogunOfHarlem1> Hi Guys, Is there a known issue with 10.04 and having to do "sudo ufw disable" to be able to maintain a valid ping over the vpn connection?
[23:05] <sinman> ActionParsnip: thanxs, i do got way to big currently it's 155Gb
[23:06] <jimms> guys i get this : root
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> sinman: yikes, dude my used has never been over 3Gb with any linux
[23:06] <Jordan_U> jimms: Then you are at a root shell. You shouldn't be.
[23:06] <sinman> ActionParsnip: i have 2GB ram
[23:06] <aeon-ltd> ShogunOfHarlem1: you may need to make exceptions for the vpn service in ufw
[23:06] <scummos> hey! is there kde 4.5.x packages available for ubuntu 10.10?
[23:06] <sinman> ActionParsnip: it's a learning expiernce for me
[23:06] <jimms> Jordan_U: how can i sort this please ?
[23:06] <Name141> I don't seem to be able to resize the current (in use) partition in gparted
[23:06] <erUSUL> scummos: #ubuntu+1
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> sinman: then make swap be 2Gb, / be 10Gb and home be the remaining 978Gb
[23:07] <jimms> Jordan_U: what is a solution to this please
[23:07] <aeon-ltd> ShogunOfHarlem1: but i've never heard of firewalls "cripple" connections, i've only heard either connection or no connection
[23:07] <scummos> erUSUL: erm, what?
[23:07] <Jordan_U> jimms: If you run "exit" does the terminal close or does the prompt just change?
[23:07] <erUSUL> Name141: you can not edit mounted partitions. use a livecd
[23:07] <erUSUL> scummos: 10.10 issues go to that channel
[23:07] <jimms> Jordan_U: it will close the terminal
[23:07] <scummos> mkay
[23:07] <Name141> erUSUL: [04:57:45:PM] <Name141> Is it possible to remove windows partitions with some tool?  my CD-RW went out
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> sinman: you can even break up the /home so you have a partition for each type of media, like pics, vids etc. One big /home is no bad thing though. the ext4 specification allows it
[23:07] <ShogunOfHarlem1> Yea, Thanks aeon. I put in the exceptions necessary. without the firewall disabled I get "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted"
[23:07] <sinman> ActionParsnip: k that does sound good. but i'll make home smaller in case i want to dual boot in the future with a differnt distro
[23:08] <Jordan_U> jimms: Have you logged in as root?
[23:08] <jimms> Jordan_U: yes
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> sinman: sounds cool, partition planning is good :)
[23:08] <jimms> Jordan_U: i would like to add a user but i don't know how to
[23:08] <ShogunOfHarlem1> Disabled it works fine for about 10 minutes, then after certain amount of idle time, I'll have to run "sudo ufw disable" again. =)
[23:08] <aeon-ltd> jimms: hence you automatically run things as root
[23:08] <sinman> ActionParsnip: i had always used the ext4 for home, is it good to use ext4 for / or should i use ext3 for it
[23:08] <Braber01> irssi question, how do i switch windows
[23:08] <erUSUL> Name141: well what partition is this ? can you umount it?
[23:08] <jimms> aeon-ltd: yes but i would like to add a user so i can sort it out
[23:08] <Poul|Raider> Hey, anyone here know where i can find the source code of IntInf for sml, would like to see how its implementet
[23:09] <mads-> Hi. I am trying to run a program and it says "error while loading shared libraries: libglfw.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", Where does ubuntu normally look for this libglfw.so file, so I can make a symlink. Thanks
[23:09] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, sinman personally i install a bunch of games that reside under / and i use WAY more then 20GB with the games installed.
[23:09] <erUSUL> mads-: /usr/lib/ ?
[23:09] <Marine_> i have been searching around to a solution for an error message that i have been receiving in regards to usb: unable to enumurate USB device
[23:09] <hdgc> I need help please,
[23:09] <Braber01> in irssi how do I switch windows, I happend to have nine of them open and have no clue how to switch between them :(
[23:10] <aeon-ltd> jimms: type "man useradd" in terminal
[23:10] <hdgc> libv4l2: error setting pixformat..., this happens when  I use cheese...can anyone help me???
[23:10] <mads-> erUSUL, OK - I'll try
[23:10] <mads-> Thanks
[23:10] <aeon-ltd> Braber01: ctrl-p/n
[23:10] <sinman> ZykoticK9: that why i ask about the size of / because I do play games, like to get WoW or Runes of Magic to work under linux
[23:10] <aeon-ltd> !wine | sinman
[23:10] <dgtl> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/eAxg0NWk
[23:10] <jimms> aeon-ltd: could you please make it simple for me: can you please tell me how to add username sys so i can just run them services please
[23:11] <erUSUL> sinman: wine stores all files in you home
[23:11] <Mrokii> erUSUL:  I found the problem (with Nautilus). Which was *my* problem. I didn't realize that I had to remove the "https://"-part when pasting the URL into the connection-window. Stupid me.
[23:11] <aeon-ltd> jimms: firstly, why are you root anyway?
[23:11] <sinman> aeon-ltd: yes I know about wine to use to get windows game to play in linux
[23:11] <erUSUL> Mrokii: well i made the same mistake
[23:11] <sinman> k
[23:11] <jimms> aeon-ltd: i don't have a clue man, i just pay for this, that's all
[23:12] <ubuntu_mad> I was wondering how can i speed up my bug fix on launch pad
[23:12] <Mrokii> erUSUL:  Another thing learned, heh.
[23:12] <sinman> what about games that is ported to linux, are they installed in the / or home
[23:12] <erUSUL> true
[23:12] <ZykoticK9> sinman, Wow is wine so that will be in your home directory (partition in your case), but the size of / really depends on what you are installing and where it's all going.  you can subdivide the partitions as much as you want, separate /usr /opt etc etc, but personally i kinda like having one partition per drive (for the most part, i dual boot some systems) - it's all personal preferences/experience/needs that dictate these thing ;)  good luck m
[23:12] <ZykoticK9> an.
[23:12] <erUSUL> sinman: depends on the installer i guess. if you install with debs from repos they go to /
[23:12] <aeon-ltd> jimms: useradd -D username
[23:13] <Jordan_U> Name141: You can setup grub2 to load Ubuntu from an iso file, setting it up so that Ubuntu copies the entire iso into RAM at boot so that everything can be unmounted (allowing you to repartition).
[23:13] <aeon-ltd> jimms: that just creates the user (and a home dir i think)
[23:13] <Jordan_U> dgtl: Ask in #parted.
[23:13] <aeon-ltd> ubuntu_mad: is it urgent?
[23:13] <sinman> k I'll just keep everything the way it is for now
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_mad: add more (relevant) details
[23:13] <aeon-ltd> ubuntu_mad: i mean it depends heavily on what it is
[23:13] <dominicdinada> how to initialize the git://git.videolan.org/x264.git repository
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> sinman: depends, some games install to /opt, some to $HOME
[23:14] <ubuntu_mad> aeon-ltd: its only a graphics driver issue
[23:14] <sinman> ActionParsnip: k
[23:14] <danthepianoman> anyone here familiar with nagios?
[23:14] <ChogyDan> dominicdinada: git clone?   but you are probably going to need to know git better than that
[23:14] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: get a clone to your pc? « git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git »
[23:14] <sinman> what are other desktop enviroment are there besides gnome and kde
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> sinman: if you like FPS, grab the penumbra demos (scary) or urbanterror (counterstrike like game)
[23:14] <ubuntu_mad> ActionParsnip: ive added what i think i can
[23:14] <aeon-ltd> ubuntu_mad: minor? or like complete X failure?
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> sinman: lxde, e17
[23:15] <dominicdinada> failed initializing repository  because it is not added :/
[23:15] <erUSUL> sinman: xfce; lxde
[23:15] <danthepianoman> If you know how to use Nagios on Ubuntu, please give me a message I need serious help
[23:15] <sinman> ActionParsnip: i use to be in fps in the past, but these days it's mostly mmo's and mmorpg's

[23:18] <Ellis> how do i get there? i am new to ubuntu and when i load my irc it comes stright there

[23:19] <Ellis> i apologize if ive offended anyone just new here
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> Ellis: its irc, not ubuntu specific. the command is: /join #ubuntu-offtopic

[23:24] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: works fine here
[23:24] <dominicdinada> Flare183: ok what does that imply that it is a bad request ?
[23:25] <dominicdinada> ok then my second question is how i would add the repo :/ :(
[23:25] <ubuntu_mad> ChogyDan: no worries,that command gave no such file

[23:27] <Shaul> ppq: here?
[23:27] <Rods_Tiger> I?ve just installed a dual boot for someone but they refuse to use it because of the way that grub looks, it confuses them
[23:27] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: 11.4build1
[23:28] <ubuntu_mad> Rods_Tiger: lol
[23:28] <ppq> Shaul, yep
[23:28] <ChogyDan> ubuntu_mad: I really don't know.  I would check to make sure linux-headers-generic is installed...

[23:29] <ppq> ok
[23:29] <ChogyDan> ubuntu_mad: have you tried booting an earlier kernel?
[23:29] <Shaul> I have a configure error :/
[23:30] <ubuntu_mad> ChogyDan: how i do that?
[23:30] <Braber01> telnet/ssh/putty/etc. question I've tried to connect to my desktop today from a windows machine with telnet(and don't give me that use ssh/putty crap I know to use that) and I couldn't connect to my computer could it be something with my router or something with the school?
[23:30] <qoo1> I've upgraded to grub2, and have just run upgrade-from-grub-legacy. On the config screen it is listing 'GRUB install devices', which are /dev/sda, /dev/sda5, and /dev/mmcblk0, and wants me to check one or more. What should I do?
[23:30] <ChogyDan> ubuntu_mad: hold shift at boot, then select the kernel
[23:30] <Flare183> Braber01: yup, it is you have to port forward port 22 for ssh
[23:31] <TiK> Braber01: you have to forward a port (22) on your router to your linux PC
[23:31] <ubuntu_mad> ChogyDan: ok ill try that,if its ok what should i do then?
[23:31] <ChogyDan> qoo1: /dev/sda if grub is the first thing you get at boot
[23:31] <erUSUL> he is using telnet so it has to redirect telnet port. i will call the 80's maybe they know what port it is
[23:31] <qoo1> ChogyDan: Thanks. I'll do that.
[23:31] <Braber01> what do you mean by forward a port?
[23:31] <TiK> 80 is http://
[23:31] <TiK> oh
[23:32] <TiK> the80s
[23:32] <TiK> ha
[23:32] <TiK> Braber01: well its blocked by yor router
[23:32] <Flare183> erUSUL: Its port 23 for telnet
[23:32] <ChogyDan> ubuntu_mad: you may also want the command : sudo /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start `uname -r`
[23:32] <TiK> Braber01: you have to "open" it
[23:32] <turtle_> erUSUL, you can borrow my crank prank time phone if you want
[23:33] <Braber01> okay I'm not quite shure how to do that ..
[23:33] <ubuntu_mad> ChogyDan: do that now?
[23:33] <Flare183> Braber01: find your router's manual
[23:33] <Braber01> too much reading :(

[23:36] <edbian> jimms, sudo chmod   ;)
[23:36] <edbian> jimms, You might wanna sudo chown  it too

[23:37] <edbian> jimms, Are you not a sudoer on your own system?  Is this Ubuntu?
[23:37] <jimms> now i added system by doing useradd system
[23:38] <jimms> i am everything but one program will not let me run it as root
[23:38] <edbian> jimms, You have to add him to the sudoers file or add him to the admin group (and restart x)
[23:38] <ubuntu_mad> ChogyDan:?
[23:38] <jimms> i added system as user now it's saying that
[23:39] <aeon-ltd> jimms: ok log in as root again (sorry about the long process)
[23:40] <jimms> aeon-ltd: no problem, appreciate your help
[23:41] <aeon-ltd> jimms: when you are in root run 'visudo'

[23:42] <Shaul> ppq: what is that command?
[23:42] <ppq> Shaul, do you mean checkinstall?
[23:43] <Shaul> yes
[23:43] <aeon-ltd> jimms: if your in sudoers, add at the bottom (your username)   ALL=(ALL) ALL (without the brackets)
[23:43] <Shaul> ppq: what package do I need?
[23:43] <aeon-ltd> jimms: but with the brackets around (AL)
[23:43] <Shaul> doesn't seem to be there
[23:43] <aeon-ltd> *(ALL)
[23:44] <ppq> Shaul, checkinstall is the name of the package, i think it's in universe
[23:44] <ppq> and of course build-essential
[23:44] <jeeves_Moss> I know Ubuntu's ruby package is messed, but I can't remember the work around for this error.  anyone?  http://pastebin.ca/1949976

[23:44] <Shaul> ppq: thanks, I got that one from before
[23:45] <edbian> turtle_, That is very odd...
[23:45] <edbian> turtle_, It says "put your password in"  ?
[23:45] <edbian> turtle_, Can you screenshot it?
[23:45] <turtle_> argh i just got rid of it
[23:45] <jimms> aeon-ltd: Warning: unable to open log file services.log: Permission denied
[23:45] <edbian> turtle_, how?
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> turtle_: run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade    use http://pastie.org   to give the output

[23:46] <edbian> ActionParsnip, What will that accomplish?  He'll still possibly have some rough software runni8ng
[23:46] <aeon-ltd> jimms: what? did you run visudo?
[23:46] <edbian> turtle_, Crazy!  Have you been installing / running mystery software?
[23:47] <jeeves_Moss> I know Ubuntu's ruby package is messed, but I can't remember the work around for this error.  anyone?  http://pastebin.ca/1949976
[23:47] <jimms> no aeon-ltd: i gave permission to user system to go to the root folder
[23:47] <aeon-ltd> jimms: with visudo?
[23:47] <turtle_> only stuff from the standard ubuntu repo
[23:47] <Jordan_U> turtle_: That means that a system service crashed.
[23:47] <indrora> Anyone able to figure out my problem?
[23:47] <indrora> Nobody?
[23:47] <kthomas_vh> !nobody
[23:48] <Jordan_U> turtle_: To debug the problem, and send a bug report, you need root priveleges.
[23:48] <indrora> I've been beating my head against this ever since I moved from Debian-stable
[23:48] <edbian> turtle_, It did seem fishy to me too...
[23:48] <jimms> aeon-ltd: no i have vnc access to my box as well
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> edbian: just sees if the packages are square
[23:49] <aeon-ltd> jimms: i don't mean to be arroggant and assume i am correct, but please if you didn't intend to follow help please continue without it
[23:49] <turtle_> lol, Jordan_U saves the day again
[23:49] <Spaztic_One> I just updated kernel and a couple random other things and now X (I think) is acting up. I don't have my window controls or workspaces currently. What is wrong and how can I resolve it? I've already tried simply rebooting but to no avail.

[23:52] <Wally__> Hello
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> Spaztic_One: can you run a terminal?
[23:53] <Spaztic_One> Also, I can't move windows as they are starting up with the top portion off screen and they aren't listed in the dock/panel
[23:53] <edbian> Spaztic_One, Turn on the desktop effects ;)
[23:54] <Wally__> Anyone got time for a ??
[23:54] <edbian> Spaztic_One, the desktop effects tell metacity to draw the window border, and it creates virtual desktops on to of gnome
[23:54] <edbian> Wally__, I do
[23:54] <Spaztic_One> Would if I could, but its covered by the windows that I can't move
[23:54] <Wally__> edbian, Are you familiar with kdenlive?
[23:55] <edbian> Wally__, no :(
[23:55] <Spaztic_One> so, uh, I guess I'll close the chat and log back on in a minute

[23:55] <edbian> Spaztic_One, do you have a terminal?  compiz --replace
[23:55] <cristian_> hllo
[23:55] <cristian_> hello
[23:56] <GriFF3n> test
[23:56] <Spaztic_One> Hmm, can I do this by switching to tty1-6?
[23:56] <alex87> is there a better way to sync two large video collections than unison? it needs to be bidirectional, and they are both ntfs
[23:56] <vinc1> edbian: it's working --> tcpdump -s 2048 -w test.pcap -i wlan0 tcp port 80, do the transaction with the browser, then go back and CTRL+C on tcpdump, and then do "strings test.pcap" -- shows cookies, GET/POST requests, responses, the works. Thanks!
[23:56] <ZykoticK9> Spaztic_One, i don't think "compiz --replace" will work from a tty (i could be wrong)
[23:56] <edbian> Spaztic_One, Clever though.  There might be a way.  I don't know how to tell compiz what X server to effect though.  There is no X server on tty6
[23:57] <erUSUL> alex87: rsync?
[23:57] <cristian_> does anyone know a firewall solution in ubuntu? something like smoothwall?
[23:57] <GriFF3n> yea, thats what i was goin go to suggest
[23:57] <edbian> vinc1, I didn't even do anything!  Good job :)
