[00:00] <usr13> ZykoticK9: but it will still work, I'm pretty sure.
[00:00] <ZykoticK9> bananstol, this doesn't seem promising http://www.leenooks.com/Agere_mini_pci_0508
[00:00] <nerdshell> i was trying to restart my network daemon, and when I run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, i get this output :
[00:00] <nerdshell> * Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
[00:00] <nerdshell> * Reconfiguring network interfaces...                                                              SIOCDELRT: No such process
[00:00] <nerdshell> Any help please
[00:00] <FloodBot1> nerdshell: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:00] <ZykoticK9> nerdshell, PLEASE stop pasting that!
[00:01] <usr13> nerdshell: route -n
[00:01] <bananstol> ZykoticK9: yes, seems my best best is ndiswrapper
[00:01] <nerdshell> ZykoticK9: I'm really sorry, but when I use shift+enter, instead of just jumping a line, it sends another message, I user the Ubuntu past bin, an it still doesn't work. Really sorry.
[00:02] <bananstol> thanks ZykoticK9
[00:02] <ZykoticK9> bananstol, best of luck.
[00:04] <usr13> nerdshell: grep  <IP_ADDRESS> /etc/hosts
[00:05] <nerdshell> usr13: what is the utility of that ?
[00:05] <nerdshell> just gives me the aliases for my local host
[00:05] <h4lfl1ng> haha that nerdshell has the same problem as me, but I already posted it on ubuntu-server lol
[00:05] <Rain> I hate to ask, but I'm looking for some help with sound drivers.
[00:06] <nerdshell> h4lfl1ng: could you give me a link to the topic please ? I would be happy to read it
[00:06] <Rain> My soundcard from rocketfish has no sound drivers from the manufacturer, and I don't know if there's a way to get sound support at all.
[00:06] <h4lfl1ng> nerdshell: nobodies replies yet...
[00:06] <usr13> nerdshell: What exactly are you trying to do?
[00:07] <mrdeb> Rain: what is the soundchip
[00:07] <nerdshell> usr13: assign a static ip address to my server, I configured /etc/network/interfaces and I need to restart the networking daemon that's all
[00:07] <nerdshell> h4lfl1ng: what is your problem exactly?
[00:07] <jdvv95> Hello
[00:08] <Rain> mrdeb: It's a Rocketfish 7.1 PCI sound card, I looked on ALSA (I think that's the name for the Big Sound Driver pack for Linux), and Couldn't find it being supported.
[00:08] <usr13> nerdshell: Is it not running now?  ifconfig
[00:08] <jdvv95> Hol
[00:08] <jdvv95> hola
[00:08] <jdvv95> Spanish
[00:08] <Rain> Damnit, I don't even remember the name of the sound driver thing... It was on a topic on Ubuntu's forums.
[00:08] <jdvv95> español
[00:08] <mrdeb> Rain: i think that's soundblaster
[00:08] <Evanescence> how to set default shell ? for example: I want to change default bash into Zsh
[00:08] <Rain> Ohh, it was.
[00:08] <nerdshell> usr13: of course it is, I won't be on irc now if not.
[00:09] <h4lfl1ng> nerdshell: My problem is that I need to stop/start the daemon instead of restarting it so that I don't corrupt the config files for Networking daemon and dhcp daemon.
[00:09] <Rain> mrdeb: After googling, I can't find anyone that could give me the equivalent to try to install.
[00:09] <Rain> mrdeb: Would anyone of them just work?
[00:09] <usr13> nerdshell: So did you edit /etc/network/interfaces ?
[00:09] <nerdshell> h4lfl1ng: don't you know if other people has got the issue ?
[00:09] <foxy628> hello
[00:09] <mrdeb> Rain: it should just work with linux
[00:09] <usr13> nerdshell: Or you can just use the network-manager.  Right?
[00:10] <mrdeb> Rain: if it doesnt, is alsamixer muted or something
[00:10] <nerdshell> usr13: yes, I added the iface static and other stuff
[00:10] <h4lfl1ng> nerdshell: But, since start doesn't work, it always gives me stop/waiting when I run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking start" or "sudo start networking"..
[00:10] <nerdshell> usr13: don't like GUI
[00:10] <Rain> mrdeb: I don't have alsa installed, at least I don't think. This is a fresh install of Ubuntu
[00:10] <usr13> nerdshell: That's fine.  So were you successful at giving your PC a static IP?
[00:10] <nerdshell> h4lfl1ng: actually I switched on/off my router and that's it
[00:10] <h4lfl1ng> nerdshell: I'm running Ubuntu server 10.04
[00:10] <mrdeb> Rain: ubuntu installs alsa by default
[00:11] <mrdeb> Rain: are you sure it's not muted or some setting
[00:11] <nerdshell> usr13: yeah it's done now, just wondering about the weird message when i try to restark the networking daemon
[00:11] <Rain> mrdeb: I looked through the Sound Preferences, and have made sure nothing was muted, but I still have no sound.
[00:12] <usr13> nerdshell: Oh.. ok.  Well, your supposed to use service
[00:12] <mrdeb> Rain: what does alsamixer say
[00:12] <tofufish> are there any iptable gurus in here?
[00:13] <wildgoose> !anyone
[00:13] <tonsofpcs> a/win 55
[00:13] <Rain> mrdeb: How would I check that? I'm a noob to Linux, so is the menu for that in the GUI or do I have to open up the terminal?
[00:13] <homiziado> !poll
[00:13] <Pio> i cant seem to change the hostname of an ubuntu server installation on a VPS: http://pio.longstair.com/misc/hostname_change.txt
[00:13] <mrdeb> Rain: open terminal and type alsamixer
[00:14] <tofufish> Im trying to forward connections from externalip:port to anotherip:port, any ideas?
[00:14] <Rain> mrdeb: Everything is turned on.
[00:14] <Rain> mrdeb: Nothing is muted
[00:14] <usr13> nerdshell: I think we're supposed to  use
[00:14] <usr13> invoke-rc.d network restart
[00:15] <nerdshell> usr13: why that ?
[00:15] <mrdeb> Rain: what does it show for hte sound chip
[00:16] <wildgoose> tofufish, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=93420
[00:16] <Rain> mrdeb: I don't see what you're talking about, what are you asking me to do? Again, sorry for being a noob.
[00:17] <neXyon> hi, does anyone know if there's an stylus/pen driven linux based tablet/e-book reader device out there somewhere? something I'm able to take notes with when I'm attending uni courses :D
[00:17] <tofufish> wildgoose: thank you!
[00:17] <usr13> nerdshell: I don't know really.  /etc/init.d/networking restart seems to work.
[00:17] <Roric> Try plugging your speakers into a different audio out, also, Does your video card have an audio device built in?
[00:17] <wildgoose> tofufish, Hope it helps
[00:17] <Rain> Roric, you're talking to me?
[00:17] <mrdeb> Rain: when the alsamixer app comes up with bars, it shows near the top the name of hte sound card. that might give you a clue about what is wrong
[00:17] <nerdshell> how to start ssh server please ?
[00:18] <h4lfl1ng> usr13: why does "sudo invoke-rc.d networking start" hang? is that normal?
[00:18] <Roniga> neXyon: if it's for note taking, I'd reccomend good old fashioned pen and paper
[00:18] <Roric> Yea
[00:18] <Rain> Ohh, the card is "CAO106"
[00:18] <Rain> No, it's a soundcard by rocketfish.
[00:18] <tofufish> wildgoose: will that change the 'source' ip address to the connecting ip?
[00:18] <Rain> I have onboard sound that has worked in the past
[00:18] <Roric> oohh
[00:18] <Roniga> !highlight
[00:18] <wildgoose> neXyon, Check out the thinkpad tablets
[00:18] <h4lfl1ng> usr13: ok it went through, but I get the same message "networking stop/waiting"
[00:18] <Rain> But I don't want to switch between onboard and the PCI slot in the bios everytime I go from Ubuntu to windows.
[00:18] <neXyon> Roniga: you underestimate the advantages of it being digital
[00:18] <mrdeb> Rain: i know its rocketfish, but the soundchip is probably xfi or something by soundblaster
[00:19] <Rain> No, the Chip is literally just "CA0106"
[00:19] <Rain> That's what it says
[00:19] <Rain> You could TV me if you want
[00:19] <nerdshell> how to start ssh server please
[00:19] <MrOpposite> hi
[00:19] <neXyon> wildgoose: atm I have a thinkpad x201t, disadvantage: battery runtime
[00:19] <Rain> Or I'll upload a screenshot.
[00:19] <ZykoticK9> nerdshell, "sudo service ssh start"
[00:19] <Roniga> neXyon: possibly, but that's not an argument to have in here, it's offtopic, so #ubuntu-offtopic is more suited
[00:20] <Thraspic> Looking for a simple, lightweight battery monitor for the system tray, the important part is that it uses icons that are easily customized.  Suggestions happily welcome.
[00:20] <mrdeb> Rain: it is a soundblaster audigy se (cao106)
[00:21] <MrOpposite> I have an ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5650 card in my laptop
[00:21] <Rain> So, that's selected.
[00:21] <MrOpposite> Is there any way to get dualscreen with the catalyst drivers?
[00:21] <mrdeb> which ubuntu are you using
[00:21] <MrOpposite> 11.04
[00:21] <Rain> mrdeb: It's still not working, what could I do to try to get it to work
[00:22] <mrdeb> Rain: is the sound icon muted and are you on which ubuntu
[00:22] <usr13> nerdshell: apt-get install openssh-server
[00:22] <Rain> Sound Icon is not muted, and when you say which ubuntu, do you mean my desktop environment? Gnome classic.
[00:23] <MrOpposite> Rain, he probably means which version
[00:23] <mrdeb> Rain: so you are on 11.04 ok
[00:23] <ZykoticK9> mrdeb, "gnome classic" means 11.04 ;)  MrOpposite
[00:23] <bazhang> awn-applet-battery-applet Thraspic but thats for awn
[00:23] <Rain> Yes, I am.
[00:23] <mrdeb> Rain: is your cable plugged into the right hole on eh  sound card
[00:24] <Rain> mrdeb: Yes, as I said before, It works on windows, as I have just booted back in ubuntu to try to fix this.
[00:24] <mrdeb> hmm
[00:24] <Corey> !sound | Rain
[00:24] <Rain> mrdeb: I think that the card isn't being recognized correctly somehow, I'm on the ALSA wiki trying to find something else.
[00:25] <Thraspic> bazhang, thanks, will look into it
[00:25] <mrdeb> Rain: hmm ok. yeah
[00:25] <mrdeb> Rain: have you tried booting with another linux distro
[00:26] <Rain> It didn't work on 10.10 either, but not a different distro.
[00:26] <mrdeb> but integrated works on 11.04
[00:26] <usr13> Rain: Does it work while running the liveCD?
[00:26] <usr13> mrdeb: Does it work while running the liveCD?
[00:27] <MrOpposite> Hmm, Rain doest the aplay command work, using the alsa sound system instead of pulseaudio?
[00:27] <usr13> mrdeb: Are you sure volume levels are turned up?
[00:27] <mrdeb> usr13: it's ot me
[00:27] <Rain> I didn't check if it worked or not.
[00:27] <Rain> aplay command?
[00:27] <MrOpposite> Uhm
[00:27] <MrOpposite> wrong problem
[00:28] <usr13> mrdeb: Sorry
[00:28] <Rain> Again, total noob with linux here.
[00:28] <Rain> Volume is turned up
[00:28] <usr13> Rain: Are volume levels turned up?
[00:28] <Rain> Yes.
[00:28] <MrOpposite> oh wait
[00:28] <MrOpposite> yes
[00:28] <mrdeb> Rain: its ok, we will try to find an answer
[00:28] <MrOpposite> aplay is using the alsa sound system, and ubuntu is natively running pulseaudio
[00:28] <Rain> Well, I feel like I'm in the wrong channel, and that my problem is kinda inherent with ALSA detecting my soundcard incorrectly.
[00:29] <usr13> Rain: /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp  #and listen for noise, try plugging into another port. Ctrl-c to stop
[00:29] <usr13> and see if you get errors
[00:29] <Rain> I hear nothing
[00:30] <kjjk> hi neone help
[00:30] <Rain> Still nothing, and I know that my speakers are plugged into the right port, as my audio on this soundcard works fine on windows.
[00:30] <nerdshell> usr13: it's actually weird that ssh-server is not genuinely integrated with ubuntu ;;;
[00:31] <bazhang> kjjk, ask a question
[00:31] <kjjk> have installed chkrootkit and rootkithunter and unhide but they dont show on installed applications list
[00:31] <bazhang> kjjk, they run from the terminal
[00:31] <ZykoticK9> Rain, same sound card (two people same issue) on 11.04 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1784155
[00:31] <usr13> Rain: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp  #and listen for noise, try plugging into another port. Ctrl-c to stop
[00:31] <kjjk> although on web says intalled. what terminal and how to access pls have unity just installed from mag
[00:32] <usr13> Rain: Sorry, typo.
[00:32] <usr13> hear anything?
[00:32] <bazhang> kjjk, gnome-terminal
[00:32] <Airris> so... if i 'sudo dpkg -r --ignore-depends'   something. it's going to just rip that package out, not touch the dependencies, and probably break all of them, right?
[00:32] <usr13> nerdshell: It is for security purposes
[00:32] <Rain> I looked on the forums before I came here, I knew other people had that problem
[00:32] <kjjk> so what do i do in simple terms.
[00:33] <bazhang> kjjk, run them from the terminal.
[00:33] <usr13> Rain: Did you get an error message?  Or...?
[00:33] <kjjk> how to access terminal
[00:33] <bazhang> !terminal > kjjk

[00:34] <Rain> I'm assuming I'm supposed to type /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[00:34] <bazhang> alex__, mint?
[00:34] <usr13> Rain: pastebinit /etc/group
[00:34] <alex__> ubutu
[00:34] <alex__> ubuntu*
[00:34] <usr13> Rain: No     cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[00:34] <bazhang> !wifi | alex__ have a read
[00:35] <Rain> http://pastebin.com/KH1hEWjH
[00:36] <Rain> I tried ctrl C to copy, lol
[00:36] <usr13> Rain: pastebinit /etc/group
[00:36] <Rain> The program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[00:36] <Rain> sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[00:36] <Rain> I'll assume I need to do that
[00:36] <usr13> Rain: yes
[00:37] <usr13> Rain: Or just:   grep audio /etc/group
[00:38] <ZykoticK9> usr13, Rain - it is MUCH easier to simply type "groups" in terminal to see what groups your user is in
[00:38] <usr13> Rain: And show us.
[00:38] <Rain> It's setting up ATM, should I do the pastebin or what?
[00:38] <ZykoticK9> Rain, FYI you will be showing everyone all the users on your system (potential security risk1)
[00:39] <Rain> I'm not too concerned about that.
[00:39] <usr13> Rain: Just see if your user name is in group audio
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> Rain, k - it's also not your issue (but that's another point all together)
[00:39] <Rain> allen@allen-desktop:~$ grep audio /etc/group
[00:39] <Rain> audio:x:29:pulse
[00:39] <usr13> Rain: But yes, it would be helpful if we could see.
[00:39] <usr13> Rain: Ok ther eis your problem
[00:40] <usr13> Rain: You simply need to add your user-name to group audio.  vim /etc/group  and put a comma after plulse and type in the user name.  Log out and back in again.
[00:40] <ZykoticK9> usr13, you might be correct (Rain my bad) - your user SHOULD be in the audio or Pulse group???
[00:41] <Airris> wait wait wait.
[00:41] <Airris> I just realized. lets setup a virtual box and try this out first :D A lot less painful if i break that
[00:41] <usr13> Just the audio group
[00:41] <mrdeb> usr13: dont tel lhim vim, it's hard
[00:41] <Rain> Wait, what usr13?
[00:42] <mrdeb> Rain: in terminal "sudo gpasswd -a <YOURNAME> audio"
[00:42] <Rain> sudo gpasswd -a Allen audio
[00:42] <Rain> errr
[00:42] <Rain> CRAP
[00:42] <Rain> Wrong window
[00:42] <FloodBot1> Rain: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:42] <rypervenche> lol
[00:42] <stoja> hi masters ! How i can set acpi values to get SATA at max performance ever ? I ve got laptop Asus n61jq :=) thaaanks
[00:42] <usr13> mrdeb: What is so hard about it?  vim /etc/group   down arrow to audio  hit i for insert, right arrow to end of line ,username  and Esc :wq   Done
[00:42] <mrdeb> usr13: why would he not be ni audio group
[00:43] <mrdeb> vim is vi isnt it
[00:43] <rypervenche> mrdeb: Nope. Vim is Vi Improved. Many distros have the command "vi" aliased to "vim" though.
[00:43] <Airris> so... if i 'sudo dpkg -r --ignore-depends'   something. it's going to just rip that package out, not touch the dependencies, and probably break all of them, right?
[00:43] <h4lfl1ng> Rain: now we know your real name!!! Muahahaha!!!
[00:43] <usr13> mrdeb: Probably because he created a new user and neglected to hit the up arrow when adduser suggested he be added to some additional groups.
[00:43] <mrdeb> well vi was impossibl for me ot use. i use nano
[00:43] <nuovodna> hi, i have a serious issue with battery consumption on natty current kernel. How can i install a Lucid kernel <2.6.33 ??
[00:44] <mrdeb> usr13: hmm. its default install
[00:44] <Rain> Yup, dox me, tell lulzsec or anonymous my real information.
[00:44] <bazhang> nuovodna, you dont
[00:44] <h4lfl1ng> mrdeb: vi is awesome :) still learning though :)
[00:44] <usr13> mrdeb: It is not impossible but it is your preference.
[00:44] <rypervenche> mrdeb: You should try out vim. It's very powerful. Just install "vim" then run "vimtutor" in a terminal to learn.
[00:44] <nuovodna> bazhang: mmm can i use a kernel downloaded from kernel mainline repo?
[00:44] <mrdeb> rypervenche: what does it do that nano doesnt
[00:44] <Rain> It's saying user 'Allen' does not exist
[00:45] <bazhang> nuovodna, that will likely break things more than fix them. and is unsupported
[00:45] <Rain> Hold on, I think I'm using the wrong username
[00:45] <Rain> I might have had this under the name rain
[00:45] <bazhang> mrdeb, lets take the vim/nano discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[00:45] <rypervenche> mrdeb: I think we'll have more luck if we ask everyone for examples^^
[00:45] <rypervenche> Everyone, what does vim provide that nano doesn't?
[00:45] <Rain> Excuse my rambling, I'm under some stress with my parents wanting things from me at the same time.
[00:45] <bazhang> rypervenche, #ubuntu-offtopic please
[00:45] <Rain> Trying to concentrate on this
[00:46] <mrdeb> Rain: did it work
[00:46] <nuovodna> bazhang: ok...i have to wait the 3.0 kernel to solve this unpleasant issue
[00:46] <rypervenche> bazhang: *nod nod*
[00:46] <Rain> It's saying user "Allen" does not exist, I need to go check my username real quick
[00:46] <Rain> BRB
[00:47] <Rain> Wait, I assume that you're asking for my username, right?
[00:47] <Rain> For the computer?
[00:47] <rypervenche> Rain: Your username is that name before the @ in the terminal
[00:47] <qin> Rain
[00:47] <Rain> Which is Allen, does capitalization matter?
[00:47] <qin> Yes
[00:48] <Rain> There's my problem then
[00:48] <luko> hello everyone
[00:48] <Rain> Says it's adding me to group audio
[00:48] <alex__> I have problem with my wifi Ubuntu 10.04 32-33. the terminal says that the wifi is disabled even when it is switched on
[00:48] <usr13> Rain: Yes, everyting is case sensitive in Linux
[00:48] <Rain> I didn't know that, thanks for telling me.
[00:48] <Rain> I thought that something was fishy...
[00:48] <Rain> What do I do now?
[00:48] <mrdeb> Rain: but check if you have sound once you log out and back in
[00:49] <Rain> Okay, BRB
[00:50] <L1nuxRules> sudo intresting questions
[00:50] <Rain> Still no sound.
[00:51] <mrdeb> yeah
[00:51] <bazhang> L1nuxRules, pardon?
[00:51] <alex__> anyone who can help? :)
[00:51] <mrdeb> is integrated audio disabled in the bios
[00:51] <mrdeb> ?
[00:51] <mrdeb> Rain: do you have a video card with audio over hdmi maybe
[00:52] <L1nuxRules> bazhang only kidding just I dont know anything about desktop stuff really mainly server and old skool stuff
[00:52] <Rain> No
[00:52] <Rain> Radeon HD 3850
[00:52] <Rain> AGP
[00:52] <Rain> I'm on an old motherboard, unfortunately.
[00:52] <mrdeb> 3850 comes in agp?
[00:53] <Roric> You might need to flash update motherboard's BIOS
[00:53] <Rain> Yes.
[00:53] <Rain> Flash update?
[00:53] <DexterF> hi
[00:53] <Rain> Why would the BIOS have anything to do with my problem?
[00:53] <Roric> Dunno, but it's fixed things like that before for me
[00:54] <DexterF> 10.10: all of a sudden kaffeine won't see the dvb-t stick anymore. dmesg sees it but the /dev entries are all unoccupied, no adapter registered
[00:54] <Roric> Mobo BIOS, and mobo drivers
[00:54] <L1nuxRules> Rain Onboard gfx?
[00:54] <mrdeb> Roric: it works in windows. it's not the flash
[00:54] <Rain> No
[00:54] <Rain> It's a graphics board
[00:54] <Rain> ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP
[00:54] <Rain> But, it has no sound built on
[00:54] <mrdeb> it is some conflic
[00:54] <Rain> to it.
[00:54] <Rain> It works in windows, yes.
[00:54] <mrdeb> it has sound over hdmi
[00:54] <JohnSS> Question: When I type ls to display the contents of a directory, is there a way to make it so that is displays the contents in two rows or more instead of one long row?
[00:55] <Rain> The Radeon HD3850 does?
[00:55] <L1nuxRules> Rain not sure waht your issue is as havent been logged on to read but unless its a boot issue very unlikely a bios update would fix anything unless its a hardware issue
[00:55] <mrdeb> L1nuxRules: it works in windows for him
[00:55] <Rain> L1nuxRules: I'm having sound card problems
[00:55] <mrdeb> it's note hb bios
[00:56] <L1nuxRules> Rain is the sound on board?
[00:56] <Cameron904> ive got 2 questions; 1. How do I go about changing my external IP because I have a static IP, and sometimes I would like have a different one. ; 2. How can I make it to where I can access my home network from school so that I may continue doing work, and facebook.
[00:56] <Rain> I've googled a bit, and other people complain that there are no linux drivers for the card I'm using, but I thought ALSA would fix that
[00:56] <Rain> No, Rocketfish 7.1 PCI soundcard.
[00:56] <dostoj> i have a problem with my mouse since 1 or maybe already 2 months: when starting up ubuntu, i have to unplug and replug the mouse before i can move it. otherwise its stuck in the middle of the screen and i cant move it.
[00:56] <Rain> Checked to make sure ALSA was not muted, nor was anything in the sound prefrences.
[00:57] <L1nuxRules> Rain nvm sorry read what you said again, a BIOS update wont fix that issue but sorry cant offer any other advice driver issue maybe, has it worked previously and what if any updates you done
[00:57] <FishFace> dostoj: I almost have the same problem with a MS wireless mouse after dual booting from Windows. Never found a solution as I fret there is none for this kind of mouse.
[00:58] <JohnSS> Question: When I type ls to display the contents of a directory, is there a way to make it so that is displays the contents in two rows or more instead of one long row?
[00:58] <Rain> The soundcard didn't work under 10.10, but I say again, it works on windows.
[00:58] <L1nuxRules> johnss ls -l
[00:58] <Dmole> anyone know why a DNS slave would say "ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0" only when the master is offline?
[00:58] <usr13> Cameron904: You will have to talk to your ISP about changing your external IP.
[00:58] <beli> JohnSS: man ls
[00:59] <usr13> Cameron904: But you don't necessarily have to change or deal with that IP in order to do what you want to do.
[00:59] <qin> =7
[01:00] <dostoj> FishFace: i also have dual boot with windows but ive had that for over 2 years already and i never ran into troubles. maybe its because of some update or something. i just know that i didnt edit any configuration manually. it suddenly occured
[01:00] <usr13> Cameron904: You may, however, need to make some provisions for it on your router.
[01:00] <bananstol> so when i do a "sudo apt-get install gnome-netowrk-admin" it tries to lok for the files on no.archive.ubuntu.com
[01:00] <bananstol> which it says it can't resolve
[01:01] <Rain> Okay, it looks like there isn't much of a fix for my soundcard trouble, so assuming I live with switching my sound to onboard in the BIOS every time I boot into linux, ALSA will detect the onboard right, the onboard has worked in the past on Ubuntu
[01:01] <bananstol> can i change it to en or whatever the standard is?
[01:01] <andyk> hey guys, im trying to install xubuntu-desktop but keep getting an error http://pastebin.com/uTZ8dBGK
[01:01] <bananstol> network*
[01:01] <beli> bananstol: does resolving work for other hosts?
[01:01] <bananstol> lol
[01:01] <andyk> could someone let me know what i have done wrong?
[01:02] <mrdeb> Rain: that's not a good solution to switch each time though
[01:02] <bananstol> beli: brain fart. i just unplugged the ethernet wire :p
[01:02] <L1nuxRules> banastol can you ping no.archive.ubuntu.com?
[01:02] <Rain> mrdeb: I'm not seeing anything better...
[01:02] <mrdeb> Rain: well then use onboard or find solution online
[01:02] <beli> bananstol: thats the best firewall btw ;)
[01:02] <jsec> Trying to set up a map between my domain and my VPS running 10.04. Anybody have any experience in the matter?
[01:02] <bananstol> so it would appear!
[01:03] <Dmole> bananstol: I can ping no.archive.ubuntu.com
[01:03] <nichos> hi all, im having problems with apt. it's saying it can't install a package, when it's already installed. I did dpkg-reconfigure, no luck. Please see: http://pastebin.com/NL0t08uZ
[01:03] <Rain> mrdeb: I looked online, and I think I'll switch to onboard, and possibly see if I can get the ALSA developers to look into my problem.
[01:03] <FishFace> dostoj: If I had a PS2 mouse I bet the problem would go away. My thinking is the MS mouse holds some kind of info in it. Once de-energized and plugged back in all is well. I just deal with it. Or have my wife do it :)
[01:03] <mrdeb> Rain: its possible the driver isnt there or a conflict with somteing imo
[01:03] <L1nuxRules> nichos dpkg -r package
[01:03] <bananstol> Dmole: yes, i just had a brain fart. it's under control now. thanks ;p
[01:03] <Rain> Alright, anyway, I gtg
[01:04] <Rain> Thanks for the help guys.
[01:04] <nichos> linuxrules, dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libusb-0.1-4:
[01:04] <mrdeb> Rain: you could also modprobe the driver, if ou finjd what it is
[01:04] <mrdeb> and check lsmod in terminal for soundblater driver
[01:05] <M4d3L> hi. how is the new ubuntu 11.04?
[01:05] <dostoj> FishFace: you ask your wife to unplug your mouse?
[01:05] <M4d3L> compare to lst?
[01:05] <FishFace> dostoj: Yeah. She is closer to the tower than me. LOL. Weird setup here
[01:06] <nichos> linuxrules, if i remove that package, it wants to remove essential packages so I'm scared to do that
[01:06] <dostoj> FishFace: haha! i bet your appartment is tiny :)
[01:06] <nichos> linuxrules, using apt-get remove
[01:07] <FishFace> dostoj: Yes it is
[01:08] <L1nuxRules> nichos ok sorry Im more familiar with rpm but use the equivelant of rpm -e package --no-deps
[01:08] <M4d3L> for new install I must go with 11.04 or 10.04 lts?
[01:09] <mrdeb> M4d3L: which do ou want
[01:09] <nichos> linuxrules, I'll give it a show, thanks anyway
[01:09] <M4d3L> I want stable os that's it
[01:09] <bazhang> M4d3L, then 11.04
[01:10] <dostoj> FishFace: i meant cosy ;) well anyway, the mouse issue is kinda funny. its not rly a problem but still kinda strange. on the web some ppl suggest its because of an update but i coudnt figure out which one nor a solution
[01:10] <wildgoose> M4d3L, LTS = Long Term Stable
[01:10] <M4d3L> and why 32 bit is recommanded compare to 64bit version?
[01:10] <L1nuxRules> m4d3l your using Linux thats all you need for stable :)
[01:10] <bazhang> M4d3L, badly written homepage
[01:11] <Xano> What command do I use to find a folder's owner?
[01:11] <bazhang> Xano, where is the folder located
[01:11] <L1nuxRules> xano ls -l /dir
[01:11] <komputes> does anyone know the gconf key to edit to stop displaying truncated long filenames in icon view?
[01:11] <M4d3L> ok so 64 bit is fine?
[01:12] <Xano> L1nuxRules: thank you!
[01:12] <FishFace> dostoj: I have to step out a bit. Good luck on the mouse :)
[01:12] <L1nuxRules> xano np
[01:12] <bazhang> M4d3L, of course it is
[01:12] <M4d3L> ty
[01:12] <dostoj> FishFace: bye
[01:14] <Hilikus> ki
[01:14] <bazhang> komputes, check the man gconftool-2
[01:15] <L1nuxRules> xano its user:group btw
[01:15] <Guest87923> Hello guys,  I am trying to install Ubuntu ....    I am having a few troubles  :S
[01:15] <Guest87923> can anybody help?
[01:15] <hiexpo> what probs ?
[01:15] <bazhang> Guest87923, ask your question all on one line
[01:15] <rubenjr> what problems?
[01:15] <binni> how can I run something as www-data using the command line?
[01:16] <komputes> bazhang: that shows how to use the tool, but does not show the exact keys, which is what I am looking for.
[01:16] <rubenjr> Guest87923 what problems?
[01:16] <Guest87923> I installed ubuntu 9.10, when installation was finished, then I couldn't make my dongle 3g from the '3' network  to work
[01:16] <Guest87923> :S
[01:16] <LekeFly> Anyone that could help me abit with ssh? how can i check if i need to run sudo as another user? right now im just getting wrong password
[01:17] <bazhang> Guest87923, get a supported version of ubuntu is your first step
[01:17] <hiexpo> komputes, what tool ?
[01:17] <debugnet> binni: su -c '{command}' www-data
[01:17] <L1nuxRules> lekefly im familiar with ssh and administration
[01:17] <komputes> hiexpo: gconftool-2
[01:18] <LekeFly> L1nuxRules: any ideas how i can check? is it possible to get a list of users?
[01:18] <Guest87923> bazhang?  supported version?
[01:18] <komputes> hiexpo: I'm looking for the gconf key to edit to stop displaying truncated long filenames in icon view? I want to see the full filename all the time
[01:18] <debugnet> binni: you will need to be root in order for that to work, if not you will need the password and that is probably disabled otherwise
[01:18] <bazhang> Guest87923, yes, that version is end of life
[01:18] <binni> debugnet: doesn't that require me to know the password for www-data? how do I get the www-data password anyway, never set it to anything.
[01:19] <debugnet> binni: you could also sudo su www-data
[01:19] <L1nuxRules> lekefly yes to get a list of users less /etcpasswd
[01:19] <L1nuxRules> sorry less /etc/passwd
[01:19] <hiexpo> komputes, hmm
[01:20] <LekeFly> L1nuxRules: wow.. alot there :p
[01:20] <qin> LekeFly: To use sudo user must be member of admin group, groups <username>
[01:20] <L1nuxRules> leefly alot are system users not human users
[01:22] <L1nuxRules> check your /var/log/btmp see if anyones been trying to hack you
[01:22] <LekeFly> L1nuxRules & qin is this something i should setup? eg making my user sudo? its on a webserver
[01:23] <L1nuxRules> leefly but always put ssh on another port than 22 and use keys rather than passes
[01:23] <L1nuxRules> lekefly not sure what you mean
[01:23] <qin> LekeFly: Did you created user, and is it Ubuntu?
[01:25] <qin> LekeFly: Paste output of: cat /etc/passwd | grep "bin/bash"
[01:26] <zaahir> hi ! some body to UK Birmingham ?
[01:26] <Xano> I have a directory that is set to 777, but I cannot chown to www-data. It gives me an access denied
[01:27] <bazhang> !uk | zaahir check here
[01:27] <qin> Xano: sudo chown ?
[01:27] <zaahir> oh thank you !!!
[01:27] <L1nuxRules> xano what command did you use to change permissions and whats the setup?
[01:27] <Xano> qin: I have no root access
[01:27] <Xano> L1nuxRules: shared debian hosting. "chown -R www-data files"
[01:27] <Xano> ("files" being a folder)
[01:27] <rewt> 777 just means everyone has read/write/execute permissions; that doesn't give perms to chown files
[01:28] <qin> Xano: Yeah, 777 is suicidal
[01:28] <LekeFly> qin: http://pastebin.com/PHEWbZ5V
[01:28] <Xano> qin: That's exactly why I want to change it
[01:29] <L1nuxRules> xano try "chown -R www-data files:www-data files"
[01:29] <qin> LekeFly: and paste here output of: whoami
[01:30] <The_Letter_M> Hello
[01:30] <LekeFly> qin: iphonuab
[01:30] <L1nuxRules> xano but as your on shared hosting you probably wont be able to change the owner as thats set for the ftp access
[01:30] <Dmole> nm got help in #centos answer was "3600 ; expire (1 hour)"
[01:30] <Airris> so... if i 'sudo dpkg -r --ignore-depends'   something. it's going to just rip that package out, not touch the dependencies, and probably break all of them, right?
[01:31] <Xano> L1nuxRules: 777 would be stupid, especially for shared hosting, right?
[01:31] <L1nuxRules> xano yes but your not changing that your changing owner not perms what does chmod 755 do?
[01:31] <The_Letter_M> anyone familiar with getting a Gamepad to work?
[01:32] <wildgoose> !anyone
[01:32] <rpk> if ubuntu doesn't allow major version upgrades (eg:. firefox 3 by default on 10.10), how does it plan to keep up if timeboxed updates become the norm for most programs?
[01:32] <The_Letter_M> lol
[01:32] <qin> Xano: For forders 705, files 704, drop first 7 when you done messing around.
[01:32] <L1nuxRules> xano ssh access on shared hosting is very restricted too
[01:32] <bazhang> rpk, backports and PPA
[01:32] <rpk> are bad solutions
[01:32] <schildi> hey, may anybody can help me. i'm using ubuntu natty (studio) and i want to get rid of these black and blue context menu, which does not change want to change, even if i change the gtk theme and all setting i know of ^^
[01:32] <Xano> L1nuxRules: chmod 755 breaks file uploads, because the website can't write to the uploads folder anymore
[01:33] <LekeFly> qin: So i need to be added to that group or can i just try to login as root?
[01:33] <qin> LekeFly: How did you make user? useradd or adduser
[01:33] <The_Letter_M> Alright, I connected my Gamepad to my system. It's working, but, it also moves the mouse. I'm told I have to remove a line from my Xconf to fix that. Does anyone know what file I edit or what line I have to change?
[01:33] <LekeFly> qin: im not the one that made it hehe
[01:34] <rpk> anyways, what currently performs better: ubuntu vm in vmware workstation or virtualbox?  Host is windows 7 x64
[01:34] <qin> LekeFly: Does your user have ~ ? ls /home/
[01:34] <L1nuxRules> xano well thats your sites scripts problem
[01:34] <Xano> L1nuxRules: Not really, since it's pretty logical it needs apache to be able to write to the directory for that to work
[01:35] <binni> apt-get install python-sqlite installes sqlite2 but I want sqlite3, what package is that?
[01:35] <binni> natty
[01:35] <LekeFly> qin: its a webserver
[01:35] <qin> Xano: Write what?
[01:35] <L1nuxRules> xano ive had sripts similiar but they needed it for manual updates so i just changed the perms back and forth if its auto you could set a cron I guess
[01:36] <qin> LekeFly: Paste output of: cat /etc/passwd | grep <yourusername>
[01:36] <klown> How do I change the permissions of a windows drive in ubuntu?
[01:36] <LekeFly> qin: iphonuab:x:827:823::/home/iphonuab:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell
[01:37] <L1nuxRules> klown dont think you can change ntfs permissions
[01:37] <Clerisy> my window handles have dissapeared?
[01:37] <qin> LekeFly: hehe, its cpanel user
[01:38] <LekeFly> qin: oh.. not exactly allowed to do sudo commands then i guess.. can i change it in cpanel or what?
[01:39] <L1nuxRules> lekefly you could add it to the sudoers file
[01:39] <binni> how do i get python sqlite3 on Ubuntu 11.04?
[01:39] <L1nuxRules> likefly whats it doing?
[01:39] <qin> LekeFly: No, that user is designed to operate via cpanel, not shell, make new user ;)
[01:40] <klown> L1nuxRules, then how can I set up virtual box to use the windows drive?
[01:40] <qin> LekeFly: Or use root
[01:40] <L1nuxRules> klown no idea sorry
[01:40] <LekeFly> qin: how would i make a new user? tryed using root but its a diffrent password :p
[01:40] <L1nuxRules> klown I dont use windows
[01:41] <qin> klown: Apparently there is method of cloing windows partition for vbox, /j #vbox
[01:41] <qin> LekeFly: Can you ssh as root?
[01:42] <LekeFly> qin: no password.. :/
[01:42] <L1nuxRules> lekefly the basic is useradd useradd user
[01:42] <klown> qin, thanks, I'm trying there, they are being pretty quiet, figured I'd ask here.
[01:42] <flaiks> hey how can i check what driver my ethernet card is using ?
[01:42] <Dobuntu> I'm a noob wondering how I might be able to find out what packages have been updated in the last x days?Anyone know if there is a way to do this?
[01:42] <Clerisy> my window handles have dissapeared? how can I get them back permanantly? last night dr_willis temporarily fixed it by telling me to do "metacity -- replace" but he had to go, and when I restarted, they were gone again?
[01:42] <davet> got a quick natty issue i need help on
[01:42] <L1nuxRules> do a man useradd for options like creeating home dir etc
[01:43] <davet> When I set up Natty as a fresh install, I encrypted the filesystem
[01:43] <qin> LekeFly: run: bash echo $SHELL
[01:43] <L1nuxRules> lekefly an its useradd user not useadd useradd user
[01:43] <LekeFly> qin: /bin/echo: /bin/echo: cannot execute binary file
[01:44] <davet> And now, when I reboot, it says the disk drive for /boot is not ready
[01:44] <qin> LekeFly: Well, contact hosting support, since it is not nice to attempt to hack own server.
[01:45] <davet> If I skip mounting it, I cant get the gui desktop
[01:45] <LekeFly> qin: Hehe alright ; ) thanks!
[01:45] <gridbag> why is the gnome-keyring-prompt keep popping up asking for my password?
[01:45] <davet> and I'm a newbie, so i dont know command line linux yet
[01:45] <L1nuxRules> davet that means it cant mount the /bot partition your hd might me fucked
[01:45] <UbuntuNoob> anyone got time to help w/ partitioning during installation? T_T
[01:45] <gridbag>    ... thats kind of suspicious, to say the least.
[01:45] <L1nuxRules> davet */boot not /bot
[01:46] <davet> @L1nuxRules: I know the thing is fine. It passes all sorts of tests.
[01:46] <Clerisy> anyone?
[01:46] <davet> I just can't geet the damn filesystem to boot properly
[01:46] <flaiks> how can i check which driver is powering my eth0 card ?
[01:46] <davet> Is there a way to decrypt the filesystem LVM?
[01:46] <L1nuxRules> davet probabbly corrupted or deleted the image grub is booting you got any errors?
[01:47] <davet> None. When I installed, I selected the encrypted filesystem LVM option
[01:47] <davet> And now, I'm regretting it
[01:47] <Clerisy> bazhang» you still awake? :P
[01:47] <qin> LekeFly: Try: useradd test
[01:47] <davet> balls..... >.>
[01:47] <diytto> How can I change my screen resolution
[01:48] <L1nuxRules> davet encryption has no affect on /boot
[01:48] <Clerisy> my window handles have dissapeared? how can I get them back permanantly? last night dr_willis temporarily fixed it by telling me to do "metacity -- replace" but he had to go, and when I restarted, they were gone again?
[01:48] <diytto> I set it to a bad resolution and the screen does not display
[01:48] <diytto> :/
[01:48] <L1nuxRules> davet unless its hanging on the decryption of /home have you tried interactive startup.....

[01:50] <davet> @L1nuxRules: When I boot, I get an Edubuntu screen (I have Ubuntu 11.04), asking me to type in my encryption passphrase. It completes successfully, and then hangs
[01:50] <L1nuxRules> davet its hanging on the decryption then I reckon
[01:50] <[THC]AcidRain> ok everyone, the hardpart....
[01:50] <davet> @L1nuxRules: No offense, but no shit :P
[01:50] <davet> @L1nuxRules: The question is, how the hell do I manually fix it via command line?
[01:51] <L1nuxRules> davet unfortunately dont think I can help you with it

[01:52] <rpk> also, is there a general guide to choosing between ubuntu server and desktop?
[01:52] <nikhil__> Hey Guys! I need help. I am using 11.04 and some thing went wrong and now nothing on my desktop except wallpaper. Right click working, Shortcuts working., what to do?
[01:53] <L1nuxRules> davet john the ripper
[01:53] <davet> ah
[01:53] <flaiks> i tried googling it, how can I check which driver my eth0 card is currently running on ?
[01:53] <qin> LekeFly: I guess thats all you can do, users on shared hosting are limited to simple tasks. One sec.
[01:53] <wildbat> flaiks:  lsmod i think ~
[01:53] <davet> @L1nuxRules: How could I go about getting it onto my system to help?
[01:53] <flaiks> wildbat, that just lists was mods are loaded, doesnt tell what hardware they're associated with
[01:53] <L1nuxRules> davet or do the following
[01:53] <L1nuxRules> sudo passwd root
[01:54] <L1nuxRules> enter password
[01:54] <L1nuxRules> then su -l
[01:54] <davet> I have root

[01:55] <L1nuxRules> davet your not polite or anything so fix it yourself
[01:55] <davet> I was informing you so that you wouldnt be wasting YOUR time
[01:56] <L1nuxRules> davet know you were rude and impatient
[01:56] <wildbat> flaiks: lshw then
[01:56] <L1nuxRules> no*
[01:56] <qin> L1nuxRules: You could try to not post that sort of command on public channel, /msg is good for personal stuff.
[01:56] <L1nuxRules> qin understood
[01:57] <Vino> Could someone help me get my network working under a vmware player virtual machine with a bridged network setup?
[01:57] <diytto> How can I change my screen resolution via terminal?
[01:57] <qin> LekeFly: I do not see anything in the list to be happy about, maybe exept nmap. Btw, what did you needed sudo for?

[02:00] <L1nuxRules> thank you davet, Ive had a hard day at work if I was moody
[02:00] <IdleOne> davet: it was given maliciously from what I can tell
[02:00] <Thraspic> Anyone know why this zenity command is producing this error message?  http://pastebin.com/Dc5ywZQ8
[02:00] <rpk> How do people usually choose between Ubuntu 11.04 server, and Ubuntu 11.04 desktop?
[02:01] <Vino> rpk, so it usually just works for you without any setup in the vm?
[02:01] <davet> @IdleOne that may be. I'm a n00b anyway. but damn. I have NO other options
[02:01] <diytto> ... Can anyone help me
[02:01] <L1nuxRules> idleone I did try to help him alot before it though
[02:01] <rpk> Vino: yeah, it has in the past
[02:01] <IdleOne> davet L1nuxRules if I was mistaken in the intent I apologize
[02:01] <qin> rpk: Lack of xserver
[02:01] <L1nuxRules> but yes it was wrong
[02:01] <hiexpo> diytto, whats your prob?
[02:01] <IdleOne> L1nuxRules: losing patience is no reason to give harmful commands
[02:01] <elvis2> hi, i have a dns question... the instructions (here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/dns-configuration.html) are using "example.com" as the fqdn (in the master) option. Later in the instructions they are using ns.example.com. which is right?
[02:01] <L1nuxRules> idleone i agree but that does make you loose control
[02:02] <davet> Considering I spent THREE DAYS getting 11.04 to work properly... I would consider you to be a cocksucker
[02:02] <diytto> hiexpo: I need a way to reset my screen resolution. I accidentally set it to a bad resolution and now the screen is a blur
[02:02] <davet> Thanks
[02:02] <IdleOne> L1nuxRules: instead back away politely. Please do not do that again.
[02:02] <hiexpo> hmm

[02:03] <IdleOne> ubottu: tell L1nuxRules about code of conduct
[02:03] <klown> IdleOne, can I pm you please?
[02:03] <IdleOne> ubottu: tell L1nuxRules about guidelines
[02:04] <IdleOne> klown: go ahead

[02:04] <L1nuxRules> idleone I was agreeing with you ?
[02:04] <diytto> qin: The monitor preference window in Preferences
[02:04] <Naraht> Hello?
[02:04] <qin> nikhil__: Is: Ctrl-Alt-t gives ternimal?
[02:05] <IdleOne> L1nuxRules: I saw. I just wanted you to have a read at our guidelines and rules. so that you don't misstep again :)
[02:05] <rpk> Ok, is there an easy way to strip out most of the stuff running in a desktop install?  Like if I wanted to start with almost nothing, and build in only what I need, is there any easy way to go about doing that?
[02:05] <L1nuxRules> ubottu: linux commands | idleone
[02:05] <qin> diytto: Did you try to boot into resque mode?
[02:05] <diytto> qin: Yes.

[02:06] <L1nuxRules> idleone what I said is if someones rude be polite but it was in an if statement
[02:06] <hiexpo> Naraht, what is your prob
[02:06] <[THC]AcidRain> is there not a GUI for configuring the postfix mail server? i have successfully setup the mailserver with its default values. but i cant seem to connect to the server. says connection refused
[02:06] <[THC]AcidRain> i am trying to connect with the evolution mail client
[02:07] <IdleOne> L1nuxRules: What I am saying is that if someone is rude to you bow out gracefully, don't be a tool and give them a command that will destroy their install.
[02:07] <L1nuxRules> idleone ah ok only just saw that :) I will read them
[02:07] <qin> diytto: There is option to reconfigure xserver (not in graphical login)
[02:07] <Naraht> I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 using Wubi on a system which is otherwise Windows 7
[02:07] <diytto> qin: I tried todo that, but nothing happened
[02:07] <qin> diytto: ok, are you in shell?
[02:07] <L1nuxRules> idleone fair dos Ive always thought from the ways Ive learened its a valuble lesson
[02:07] <IdleOne> L1nuxRules: FYI I would have normally banned you for that but I am having a good day and thinking that you are a good guy having a bad day. Giving you a chance to redeem yourself.

[02:09] <Naraht> hiexpo: my apologies, how do I PM back?
[02:09] <hiexpo> pm
[02:09] <rpk> qin: I'll extrapolate a bit here: I'm a software developer and currently only do Windows / .Net solutions.  I'd very much like for people to be able to run my programs on linux (through mono), but I don't really have much linux experience at all, thus ubuntu and desktop.  However, at home (I'm setting up a vm locally), i just have a laptop, so I'm restricted in terms of performance, which is why I want to strip out stuff I don't need.  I can'

[02:09] <L1nuxRules> idleone thanks
[02:10] <diytto> qin: I am in shell now from recovery mode
[02:11] <diytto> qin: I tried that command and it said stop: Unknown instance:
[02:12] <qin> rpk: Ideall would be !minimal iso of ubuntu, but that may not install well in vbox, well best bet is to edit /etc/default/grub and change boot paremetes, so no x, gdm or other stuff will start.
[02:12] <LAcan> guys, what is the easiest way to command line parse xml files?
[02:12] <L1nuxRules> dittto what you trying to fix?

[02:12] <Naraht> hiexpo, have you see my pm's? AYT?
[02:12] <qin> diytto: are you root?
[02:13] <diytto> qin: I do not have root set up
[02:13] <diytto> :s
[02:13] <diytto> Unless the opening shell in recovery is root?
[02:13] <rpk> qin: Don't I want x though?  I don't think I'd manage without a windowed desktop.  Anyways, I guess I'll just install desktop, and hope that it performs ok, and worry about taking stuff out /stopping services if that doesn't work out.
[02:13] <L1nuxRules> diytto use sudo its setup as root
[02:14] <qin> diytto: ok, run: ps aux | grep gdm
[02:14] <diytto> I see it
[02:14] <diytto> Should i kill it
[02:14] <josePhoenix> hello all
[02:14] <qin> rpk: You can start x anytime, and any window manager you want (as long it is insatlled)
[02:15] <josePhoenix> How can I disable a user account? passwd -l only sets an impossible password string, which I think would still allow login via ssh
[02:15] <elvis2> when setting up a dns, where do i find this: "Replace 1.168.192 with the first three octets"
[02:15] <L1nuxRules> diytto yes if it didnt let you restart it

[02:16] <hiexpo> why am i getting pm's >   hiexpo leaving ubuntu going back to pentoo
[02:16] <diytto> qin: stop: Unkown Instance:
[02:16] <Naraht> good night. Will come back to ask later...
[02:17] <qin> josePhoenix: http://www.ducea.com/2007/12/05/howto-disable-a-user-account-in-linux/
[02:17] <Vino> Could someone help me get my network working under a vmware player virtual machine with a bridged network setup?
[02:17] <L1nuxRules> diytto if you ever get a service that wont restart if it fails stopping always kill it
[02:17] <josePhoenix> qin: I saw that, but I think having key based auth and ssh could work around that.
[02:18] <qin> diytto: ok, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ???
[02:18] <qin> josePhoenix: there is option in that post to
[02:18] <qin> josePhoenix: .. sorry, remove key from user .ssh forder?
[02:18] <L1nuxRules> qin I think its something like gdm3 diytto paste the ls /etc/init.d
[02:18] <MrUnagi> with wicd, i keep getting wrong password errors when trying to connect when it isnt the wrong password
[02:19] <josePhoenix> qin: right, I was wondering if there was another command that could disable an account from use either through password login -or- ssh key auth
[02:19] <rpk> qin: My pc / win environment is x64, would I want a x64 or x86 ubuntu iso?
[02:19] <wildgoose> josePhoenix, You can edit your sshd_config
[02:19] <hiexpo> josePhoenix, use pastebin
[02:19] <diytto> qin: That gives me a warning, tells me to use service gdm stop
[02:19] <flametai1> Does anyone know if the HP Slate 500 can duel boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu?
[02:20] <josePhoenix> hiexpo: for?
[02:20] <diytto> L1nuxRules: No idea how to paste from a shell to pastie
[02:20] <diytto> :/
[02:20] <josePhoenix> wildgoose: to deny users selectively? So there is no one command that can disable an account?
[02:20] <hiexpo> josePhoenix, that flood
[02:20] <L1nuxRules> josephoenix you want to disable a user from ssh login?
[02:21] <josePhoenix> hiexpo: I'm sorry, I haven't pasted anything. Maybe they all arrived at once for you?
[02:21] <hiexpo> maybe
[02:21] <flametai1> Does anyone know?
[02:21] <qin> diytto: ok, try anyway: xinit -- :1 vt8 (you trying to rise xserver with term)
[02:21] <pksadiq> !pastebin | diytto
[02:21] <[THC]AcidRain> can someone private message me on helping me setup an email server?
[02:21] <wildbat> flametai1: it should ~ problem may be you don't have a keyboard when you in grub menu
[02:21] <[THC]AcidRain> i am wondering how i should setup the mx exchanger on godaddy.com
[02:22] <wildgoose> josePhoenix, I'm not following you, but, at the end of the config file you can specify AllowUsers or DenyUsers
[02:22] <diytto> pksadiq: Not helpful.
[02:22] <josePhoenix> L1nuxRules: I want to disable a user account from any kind of login. It looks like there's no one command that can do this for me, but there are a few different ways to do this
[02:22] <diytto> qin: That worked. I have a white terminal box now
[02:22] <flametai1> wildbat, What if I used a bluetooth keyboard considering HP Slate 500 supports bluetooth 3.0?
[02:22] <josePhoenix> wildgoose: well, the reason I ask is that I'm making a management tool and I want to be able to say "disable this user" and then not have them be able to log in by password or by key auth
[02:22] <qin> diytto: try to run gedit from there
[02:22] <diytto> qin: Also a cursor
[02:22] <wildgoose> josePhoenix, Delete the account
[02:23] <diytto> qin: That works
[02:23] <josePhoenix> Well, that'd do it
[02:23] <wildbat> flametai1: grub is bootloader it don't have support for bluetooth i think ~
[02:23] <josePhoenix> I was hoping that I could just disable it
[02:23] <qin> diytto: ok, close gedit and run: startx
[02:23] <diytto> qin: The resolution upon boot is just screwed up so that the monitor cant display it
[02:23] <Chotaz> I just did a clean install of Natty desktop x64 and my flash keeps crashing on youtube, anything I can do?
[02:23] <L1nuxRules> josephoenix anyway if you want to stop a user from being able to login edit the users entry in /etc/passwd and make sure the last entry on the line is /binfalse or nologin but not anything /bin/*
[02:24] <diytto> qin: It says i am not authorized
[02:24] <qin> diytto: Oh, you mean gdm and plymouth?
[02:24] <diytto> Umm
[02:24] <diytto> I don't know what those are
[02:24] <diytto> All i know is the resolution is set too large
[02:25] <diytto> :o
[02:25] <qin> diytto: anyway, exit from term, and: 1. sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[02:25] <diytto> qin: startx worked when i used sudo
[02:26] <qin> diytto: So you in gnome? root configuration vary from yours
[02:26] <diytto> Yes im in gnome :) logged in as root and it displays perfectly
[02:26] <diytto> So what do I do now?
[02:26] <qin> diytto: in gnome terminal: whoami
[02:27] <diytto> qin: root
[02:27] <qin> diytto: Never come to me to startx with sudo ;)
[02:27] <diytto> O.o
[02:27] <diytto> Sorry
[02:27] <diytto> :s
[02:28] <qin> diytto: Neat, new achivement
[02:28] <diytto> I don't want root though :s
[02:28] <diytto> Will my account work now
[02:28] <hiexpo> !root
[02:28] <qin> diytto: Alt-Ctrl-F1 and Ctrl-c
[02:28] <klown> I am attempting to create a image for virtual box to run a windows drive.  Can anyone assist me with this, the users in #virtualbox are very rude, and unhelpful
[02:29] <hexacode> what layer of the osi model does eigrp work on?
[02:29] <diytto> qin: Okay back at shell
[02:29] <L1nuxRules> but you can set root passwrord in ubuntu and login as root
[02:29] <qin> diytto: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[02:29] <hiexpo> !smiles
[02:30] <diytto> qin: No such file or directory
[02:30] <qin> diytto: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:31] <Cuchulainn> hi all...anyone here versed in how keyboards on a laptop/netbook work?
[02:31] <diytto> qin: Done
[02:31] <mahir256> yes, cuchulainn
[02:31] <Benkinooby> hi, i use urxvt. changing the background color in the .Xdefaults fiel won't chagne  anything... ides?
[02:31] <Benkinooby> ideas?
[02:31] <ibn__> hi everyone
[02:32] <L1nuxRules> diytto if your having display issues or gfx issues first thhing Id do is gfx driver reinstall especially if you have updated lately as there have been kernel updates
[02:32] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, ok...so i'm guessing that instead of working like a ps2 keyboard that works on an interrupt...
[02:32] <qin> diytto: sudo service gdm restart
[02:32] <diytto> L1nuxRules: That does not help me.
[02:32] <Cuchulainn> it work more like a network layer, where it sends until it receives ACK or not?
[02:33] <L1nuxRules> diytto it was only advice
[02:33] <diytto> qin: Unknown instance
[02:33] <diytto> L1nuxRules: Okay.
[02:33] <ibn__> wow
[02:33] <qin> diytto: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm
[02:33] <ibn__> we just have buNCH of geeks in the channel
[02:33] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, it work more like a network layer, where it sends until it receives ACK or not?
[02:33] <ibn__> wow
[02:34] <mahir256> yes, cuchulainn; although i am certain that they work with interrupts too
[02:34] <L1nuxRules> diytto have you checked the xorg logs or any other system logs for errors?
[02:34] <mahir256> ibn__: don't flame. if _you're_ not a geek, why are you here?
[02:34] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, so it just depends on the manufacturer?
[02:35] <qin> L1nuxRules: What seems to be cool idea. My bet gdm (for now)
[02:35] <mahir256> yes, i believe so. some keyboards behave strangely depending on what os they're run in
[02:35] <diytto> qin: Done
[02:36] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, ok...so here's the issue i'm having, maybe you can point me in the right direction
[02:36] <L1nuxRules> qin does the box boot into cli or single user?
[02:36] <andyk> hey guys, im trying to install xubuntu-desktop but keep getting an error http://pastebin.com/uTZ8dBGK
[02:36] <andyk> could someone let me know what i have done wrong?
[02:36] <qin> diytto: can you: sudo service gdm <TAB><TAB>
[02:37] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, when logging in, i have a 1/2 sec lag or so on the keyboard (have to press and hold)...which is annoying with a masked psswd...
[02:37] <diytto> qin: Hold on
[02:37] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, but once i log in...it's fine and responsive....
[02:37] <diytto> I did startx and now cant kill it
[02:37] <diytto> :/
[02:37] <Roniga> andyk: try to do "apt-get update" and then do it again
[02:38] <qin> L1nuxRules: His? I suspect cli
[02:38] <pksadiq> andyk: also check your proxy settings
[02:38] <L1nuxRules> diytto what command did you use to kill try kill -9
[02:38] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, this happened once before when i was running the beta, but when i reinstalled the full release it was fine...until 3-4 updates, and it reverted
[02:38] <diytto> I cant type any commands
[02:38] <diytto> :s
[02:38] <diytto> I tried ctrl-c
[02:38] <josePhoenix> Hmm... if another admin set a root password, and I want to go back to the ubuntu sudo-root setup, how would I do that?
[02:38] <arash> Hi all, I have old Dell laptop (Inspiron 8600) with Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200, is there a way to make suspend to ram work?
[02:38] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, maybe you have an idea as to where to start troubleshooting?
[02:38] <klown> what would the correct way be to give a user read/write to a drive?
[02:38] <andyk> cheers - ill do an update (but if that doesnt work ill have to come back about how to check the proxy settings)
[02:39] <andyk> (still learning)
[02:39] <mahir256> andyk: your connection to the server timed out (probably)
[02:39] <diytto> qin: Let me reboot
[02:39] <L1nuxRules> diyotto I thik you should check some logs
[02:39] <qin> diytto: ok, but..
[02:39] <mahir256> cuchulainn: what hardware are you using? that makes a difference
[02:39] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, aka what is different about the loading up until login, that might change after?
[02:39] <diytto> qin: I am rebootin into shell again
[02:39] <qin> diytto: Try to press shift for grud, e to edit, and remove splash
[02:39] <L1nuxRules> diytto this isnt windows it doesent need rebooting
[02:39] <Cuchulainn> msi u-100 wind netbook
[02:40] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, iz.rr.com) has left #ubuntu
[02:40] <qin> *grub
 msi u-100 wind netbook
[02:40] <diytto> L1nuxRules: I am not used to using windows... Only place i ever use it is at school
[02:40] <Cuchulainn> mahir256,  msi u-100 wind netbook
[02:40] <Clerisy> How can I get the 'places' button in xfce?
[02:40] <diytto> qin: On reboot or in shell?
[02:41] <L1nuxRules> diyotto so youve never used computers then?
[02:41] <diytto> L1nuxRules: I use a Mac?
[02:41] <pooky> can anyone think of why my indicator-appmenu doesn't "connect" to applications?
[02:41] <Hilikus> ee
[02:41] <diytto> I despise windows :/
[02:41] <L1nuxRules> diyotto never used one myself but never get how you unix based os have no clue bout Linux
[02:41] <diytto> qin: I am in the recovery boot menu
[02:42] <diytto> L1nuxRules: It's not the same
[02:42] <diytto> I use Terminal all the time
[02:42] <mahir256> cuchulainn: i believe that either the login uses a different driver for the keyboard, or there are plenty of processes running in the bkgd during the login
[02:43] <Clerisy> th.. thanks
[02:43] <L1nuxRules> diytto is that not because its all GUI i MAC
[02:43] <L1nuxRules> *in
[02:43] <mahir256> cuchulainn: or the drivers are different for each place (login, desktop)
[02:43] <qin> diytto: No, you should go with normal boot.
[02:43] <diytto> L1nuxRules: Its still not evenly remotely similar
[02:44] <diytto> L1nuxRules: OSX is more simar to BSD
[02:44] <kiichiro> is there a way to find a graphics card upgrade through linux? like I just want to verify that there is no better driver
[02:44] <L1nuxRules> diytto oh will be my next learning curve I think
[02:45] <diytto> qin: Do i hold shift and e on boot?
[02:45] <diytto> What exactly should I do
[02:45] <L1nuxRules> diytto Ive had a little play with fre bsd
[02:45] <tjiggi_fo> Clerisy, it's called Thunar and (I think) you get it clicking the bottom left corner or right clicking the desktop
[02:45] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, that certainly makes sense...although if i require third party driver during install, it is hidden and i am unaware...any idea where to go see what i'm using during session as opposed to what i'm using at login...
[02:45] <L1nuxRules> think Ill start with arch
[02:46] <qin> diytto: shift, so you get grub menu, and e to edit boot options in grub
[02:46] <Clerisy> tjiggi_fo» .. thunar is the file manager
[02:46] <Clerisy> tjiggi_fo» I want the name of the package that the "places button" uses
[02:46] <tjiggi_fo> Clerisy, yes
[02:46] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, then maybe i can figure out how to force the login to match?
[02:46] <L1nuxRules> quin he already said he cant get into single user
[02:47] <diytto> L1nuxRules: It is only similar in the kernel it uses. I believe now it uses a Darwin kernel anyway
[02:47] <qin> diytto: Idea is to let gdm, with no "splash"
[02:47] <diytto> qin: Here is what the screen looks like http://d.diytto.com/mFq6
[02:47] <diytto> On normal boot
[02:47] <L1nuxRules> diytto ah ok
[02:47] <tjiggi_fo> Clerisy, sorry, didn't know there was a places in xfce - try asking in #xubuntu maybe
[02:48] <diytto> qin: Okay i pressed e
[02:48] <L1nuxRules> diytoo what happens when you try single user?
[02:48] <kiichiro> how do I check what kind of graphics card I have installed through linux? like the device manager in windows
[02:48] <qin> diytto: find "splash" in kernel line and remove it
[02:48] <diytto> L1nuxRules: No idea how to achieve that in Ubuntu
[02:49] <L1nuxRules> diytoo or have you tried booting runlevel 3?
[02:49] <diytto> qin: Done
[02:49] <qin> diytto: boot
[02:49] <diytto> L1nuxRules: No idea whatthat is
[02:49] <diytto> qin: Booting
[02:49] <L1nuxRules> diytto neither am I sorry adding init=/bin/sh doesent work with anything not RH
[02:50] <diytto> qin: Same screen
[02:50] <L1nuxRules> although some Debian stuff doesent work with ubuntu
[02:50] <diytto> qin: What is the splash?
[02:50] <qin> diytto: Atl-Ctrl-F1 and sudo service gdm stop
[02:51] <kiichiro> I have a question about the Ctrl+Alt+F1
[02:51] <diytto> qin: Worked!
[02:51] <qin> diytto: That horrible purple think before login.
[02:51] <L1nuxRules> diytto wheres your box hanging at boot?
[02:51] <qin> kiichiro: Ask
[02:52] <diytto> qin: Does that even do anything?
[02:52] <diytto> L1nuxRules: Nowhere: the resolution is just set wrong
[02:52] <qin> L1nuxRules: He could start whole gnome via sudo satrtx from term
[02:53] <L1nuxRules> I dont do guis
[02:53] <qin> diytto: Thinking
[02:53] <kiichiro> do I put something special for username/password, or do I just put my regular login credentials,  like when the computer starts up do I put in that information or some other information
[02:53] <diytto> qin: So now it will just be a black screen?
[02:53] <astrozombie> when i boot ubuntu 11.04 i see the purple splash screen just sitting there for a while, i have to hit enter or something to get it moving along
[02:54] <qin> diytto: just out of luck: sudo service gdm start
[02:54] <qin> kiichiro: Your username, and your password
[02:54] <diytto> qin: The screen is messed up like usual
[02:54] <tjiggi_fo> kiichiro, you enter the username and password which you filled in when you installed ubuntu
[02:54] <pksadiq> diytto: are you having ubuntu itself, or kubuntu or something like that?
[02:55] <diytto> Like the photo i sent you
[02:55] <diytto> pksadiq: Ubuntu
[02:55] <kiichiro> intersting, tried it and says incorrect
[02:55] <tjiggi_fo> kiichiro, at boot, or at login or on a live CD?
[02:55] <L1nuxRules> yep your logins are noob user > with root access even though we forbid root lol
[02:56] <pksadiq> diytto: still you can't get sudo service gdm start?
[02:56] <kiichiro> like I can sign in okay
[02:56] <qin> diytto: stop gdm, I need moment. you can try to startx
[02:56] <kiichiro> but when I do the ctrl alt F1 it says incorrect
[02:56] <diytto> pksadiq: It starts, my screen resolution is just set wrong an i have no idea how tochange it
[02:57] <pksadiq> diytto: system>preferences>monitors?
[02:57] <qin> kiichiro: try to type your password in username "field" to see if its typed corectly
[02:57] <Hilikus> has anyone had luck running boxee in ubuntu 11.04? i get a fatal error in the logs FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to init rendering system
[02:57] <mahir256> cuchulainn: sorry for the late reply. i looked for drivers, but i couldn't find any that would possibly fit your situation.
[02:57] <tjiggi_fo> kiichiro, just hit ctrl-alt-F7
[02:58] <diytto> qin: I get a black screen with startx
[02:58] <diytto> pksadiq: How can i do that without being able to see the screen
[02:59] <diytto> pksadiq: The screen looks like this http://d.diytto.com/mFq6
[02:59] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, nw...appreciate the effort...having no luck here either...is there somewhere i can see what driver is being used at login, as opposed to within session/
[02:59] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, /
[02:59] <L1nuxRules> diyto can you get into single user or a cli login i.e level 3 if you dont answer this time then fek offf lol
[02:59] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, seems to be a problem pretty specific to me...
[03:00] <tjiggi_fo> !language | L1nuxRules
[03:00] <diytto> L1nuxRules: How
[03:01] <mahir256> hmmm...i don't think i can help you with _that_; i have not needed to see processes running before session, so i don't actually know how to see them
[03:02] <qin> diytto: change "console" to "anyboby" in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
[03:02] <pksadiq> diytto: well, I think in tty you need to type sudo Xorg -configure
[03:02] <L1nuxRules> diytto well dont know the way in ubuntu but the equivalent of adding init=/bin/sh when grub starts  press e to edit but thats the second liune on red hat based boxes but it dont work on ubuintu#
[03:02] <mahir256> anyone else here can help cuchulainn with his problem?
[03:03]  * mahir256 needs to leave urgently
[03:03] <Cuchulainn> mahir256, nw...i appreciate the attempt...too inexperienced to know myself...
[03:04] <L1nuxRules> whats the problem?
[03:05] <diytto> qin: Done
[03:05] <[THC]AcidRain> can anyone really just help me setup the postfix mail server? it keeps saying the mail is queued, and it wont send
[03:05] <qin> diytto: once again: xinit -- :1 vt8
[03:05] <qin> diytto: and with No sudo: startx
[03:05] <diytto> qin: Done
[03:05] <Hilikus> i don't have a xorg.conf file. is there any way to create one for my setup?
[03:05] <L1nuxRules> acid rain service postfix status what does that say
[03:06] <pksadiq> Hilikus: which ubuntu are you using?
[03:06] <diytto> qin: Server is already actuve for display 0
[03:06] <Hilikus> pksadiq: 11.04
[03:06] <qin> diytto: Right, sudo service gdm stop
[03:06] <Cuchulainn> anyone can give me advice on upgrading...usually, i have an aliased command (new) that reads: "sudo apt-get update,sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y,sudo apt-get autoremove -y,sudo apt-get clean"...
[03:06] <puff> My pixel ratio appears odd on my new laptop (thinkpad t520).  How do I check that?
[03:06] <pksadiq> Hilikus: in 11.04 xorg.conf file have been renamed to xorg.conf.d , I think
[03:07] <diytto> qin: Now try again?
[03:07] <qin> diytto: yes.
[03:07] <diytto> qin: Black screen
[03:07] <Cuchulainn> the question is, should i use upgrade as opposed to dist-upgrade?...and why does the auto "-y" switch on the dist-upgrade sometime leave packages not upgraded?
[03:08] <puff> Oddly, I don't seem to have a Preferences/Display option, where is screen resolution controlled? (t520, ubuntu 10.4 LTS
[03:08] <puff> ).
[03:08] <L1nuxRules> [THC]AcidRain> try service postfgix status and let us know the output
[03:08] <pksadiq> diytto: well,check thi : in tty you need to type sudo service gdm stop        and     sudo Xorg -configure
[03:08] <pksadiq> puff: preferences>monitors
[03:08] <haz3lnut> WTF! This blows!
[03:08] <puff> Preferences/Monitors gives me a dialog for monitors, but I can't change anything.
[03:08] <Cuchulainn> or any other suggestions for making that line of script better?
[03:08] <qin> diytto: Not good, time to see logs, Xorg.1.log , messages , syslog
[03:08] <haz3lnut> Just got my invite to google music
[03:08] <puff> And "Detect Monitors" doesn't seem to do anything.
[03:08] <haz3lnut> no Linux upload!
[03:08] <haz3lnut> ?
[03:09] <[THC]AcidRain> L1nuxRules: says postfix is running
[03:09] <pksadiq> puff: do you use nvidia?
[03:09] <ploidl387> haz3lnut: Yes, Google are quite happy to use Linux to power their entire company, but have no commitment to supporting it with their products
[03:09] <diytto> qin: Where are these?
[03:09] <L1nuxRules> [THC]AcidRain> ok can you telnet to port 25 on localhost?
[03:09] <haz3lnut> I am EXTREMELY Disapointed!
[03:09] <qin> diytto: You could compare Xorg.0.log too. /var/log
[03:09] <puff> pksadiq: It's the one that has nvidia, but I haven't done anything special, other than installing 10.4 LTS.
[03:09] <[THC]AcidRain> L1nuxRules: yes i can
[03:10] <haz3lnut> THIS CAN'T STAND!
[03:10] <ploidl387> puff: If you've installed the restricted drivers you have to use the NVidia Control panel instead
[03:10] <qin> diytto: What does (from tty1): sudo startx -- :1
[03:10] <haz3lnut> We need to mobilize
[03:10] <pksadiq> puff: if you have installed nvidia drivers (not done by default) you can use the package nvidia-settings
[03:10] <L1nuxRules> [THC]AcidRain> tail /var/log/maillog whats that saying?
[03:10] <qin> haz3lnut: Can I have invite?
[03:10] <ploidl387> haz3lnut: They're a company designed to make money, they're going to support the most common options i.e. not Linux
[03:11] <[THC]AcidRain> L1nuxRules: file does not exist
[03:11] <diytto> qin: How do i get to tty1
[03:11] <puff> ploidl387: I did Administration/Hardware Drivers, but it said it couldn't find any proprietary drivers.
[03:11] <qin> diytto: Alt-Ctrl-F1
[03:11] <L1nuxRules> [THC]AcidRain> hmm try cd /var and then touch test
[03:12] <diytto> qin: Black screen
[03:12] <pksadiq> puff: in terminal type lshw -C video           does it show nVidia?
[03:12] <haz3lnut> qin, I'll see if they offer that
[03:13] <haz3lnut> ploidl387, making money has nothing to do with it.  A simple javascript would allow to upload files.
[03:13] <pksadiq> !ot | haz3lnut
[03:13] <diytto> haz3lnut: There are no invites
[03:13] <[THC]AcidRain> L1nuxRules: it wont let me send a mail. it will just say its queued
[03:13] <diytto> I asked my friend
[03:14] <puff> pksadiq: Yeah, it shows nvidia.
[03:14] <haz3lnut> Who is ubottu?
[03:14] <diytto> qin: How could i get my logs to here?
[03:14] <haz3lnut> This is an ubuntu support question
[03:14] <Clerisy> when I "chmod +x" my .sh file, it doesnt change
[03:14] <[THC]AcidRain> L1nuxRules: like im totally lost man. i dont know what went wrong or where
[03:14] <puff> pksadiq: http://pastebin.com/Rm0RitxZ
[03:15] <L1nuxRules> [THC]AcidRain> is the /var partition full, have you restarted potfix and are you getting spammed or hosting someone whos spamming?
[03:15] <diytto> qin: After startx i did alt ctrl F1 and it repeats No protocol specified over and over again
[03:15] <[THC]AcidRain> grrr im back
[03:15] <haz3lnut> If I get kicked, it's no wonder ubuntu/linux will NEVER be respected.
[03:16] <[THC]AcidRain> and the irc just said that my hostnames dont match. so now im thinking i really messed up soemwhere :/
[03:16] <IdleOne> haz3lnut: What is your Ubuntu support question?
[03:16] <qin> diytto: do you have sshsever on both your machines?
[03:16] <haz3lnut> IdleOne, Why can't I upload to google music from my computer?
[03:16] <IdleOne> ask google
[03:17] <pksadiq> puff: so you can install nvidia-current package to activate it, but if you *have*time to play with your computer,
[03:17] <qin> diytto: One more, what driver (graphics) are you using?
[03:17] <puff> pksadiq: Yesssss...?
[03:17] <haz3lnut> IdleOne, If I'm the only one who asks, they will ignore me.  We need a movement. A massive volume of requests.  Which can only be started in this channel.
[03:18] <arch_nme> how to I compile a program that I downloaded?
[03:18] <bluesky> hgh
[03:18] <diytto> qin: If ubuntu comes with ssh i should have it
[03:18] <IdleOne> haz3lnut: this channel is not for starting revolutions. Please take it elsewhere
[03:18] <pksadiq> puff: you might need *alot* of time to configure it, its buggy
[03:18] <diytto> And i am back to command prompt
[03:18] <diytto> qin: I don't know what graphics card
[03:18] <puff> pksadiq: Ah, okay, sounds like I might be better off leaving it alone until either a) I have time to fiddle with it or b) the bugs get shaken out.
[03:18] <qin> diytto: does not, sudo apt-get insatll openssh-server (on both)
[03:18] <haz3lnut> IdleOne, Not a revolution, an evolution, but please point me to the correct channel with as many linux users as this one.
[03:19] <diytto> qin: It is a laptop
[03:19] <puff> now if I could just figure out why the battery dies after 2-3 hours instead of 8-9 hours...
[03:19] <IdleOne> haz3lnut: Please stop with the off topic discussion
[03:19] <pksadiq> puff: might be a hardware problem
[03:20] <diytto> qin: Is there a way to use wifi with shell?
[03:20] <haz3lnut> IdleOne, ok kick me and prove my point.
[03:20] <L1nuxRules> arch_nme as long as you have all the dependencies ./configure && make && make instal ...
[03:20] <Chotaz> Is it possible to apply permissions(755) for all the folders(/BASE/a and /BASE/b) inside a specific directory(BASE) and another permission(664) to all the files included at that same directory(/BASE) and subdirectories(/BASE/a and /BASE/b)?
[03:20] <IdleOne> haz3lnut: what point would that be? that you are here to troll?
[03:20] <L1nuxRules> arch_nme but check the README first
[03:20] <jvm_> hi. two old 10.04 ubuntu installations with same software accessing the usb port: on one eveything just works, on the other, usb access works only as root flawlessly. any hint what might be different/how to fix it?
[03:21] <arch_nme> linuxrules, yeah, I read that online but I don't understand what that means really, I just run those commends from within the dir or how do I direct them at what I want to compile?
[03:21] <qin> diytto: lspci | grep Display for graphis card
[03:21] <L1nuxRules> arch_nme and spell install correctly :)
[03:21] <[THC]AcidRain> L1nuxRules: can you help me?
[03:21] <haz3lnut> IdleOne, I'm here to generate support for email campaign on google to support linux.
[03:21] <arch_nme> linuxrules, I can not speel
[03:21] <IdleOne> haz3lnut: like I said this is not the place to do it.
[03:21] <L1nuxRules> depends what with
[03:21] <wildgoose> !ops
[03:21] <diytto> qin: Nothing shows
[03:21] <IdleOne> !ot > haz3lnut
[03:21] <[THC]AcidRain> L1nuxRules: pretty much a complete walkthrough on where im messing up with postfix
[03:22] <IdleOne> wildgoose: yes?
[03:22] <qin> diytto: Wifi, Do you have any usb drive under the hand? lspci?
[03:22] <[THC]AcidRain> im not sure if setting it up as a full mail server is what is best. im thinking just a relay.
[03:22] <wildbat> Chotaz: there is -R option for chmod ~ checj man page
[03:22] <[THC]AcidRain> i just want to be able to send and recieve mail from my box. but im using godaddy.com for domain forwarding
[03:22] <diytto> qin: The graphics card is an ATI  Radeon RV250
[03:22] <Chotaz> wildbat, if I use -R won't it aplly the same permission to both files and folder inside that directory?
[03:23] <wildgoose> IdleOne, Didn't mean to sound the alarm, I just thought it would give me a list from ubottu.
[03:23] <diytto> qin: I do have a usb drive handy
 I need troubleshooting time with postfix tbh
[03:23] <IdleOne> wildgoose: no worries
[03:23] <[THC]AcidRain> you know what. nvm. cancel that. im going to see if i can find sometype of book about it at books a million
[03:23] <IdleOne> wildgoose: /msg chanserv access #channel-name list
[03:23] <[THC]AcidRain> i think my issue is bigger than what anyone can really help me unless they were here with em
[03:23] <[THC]AcidRain> me*
[03:24] <pksadiq> Chotaz: I think some thing like this :   find -type d | while read x ; do chmod 755 "$x" ; done
[03:24] <wildgoose> IdleOne, Thankyou
[03:24] <qin> diytto: Usb is ok, plug it, sudo mkdir /media/logcarrier && sudo fdisk -l
[03:24] <L1nuxRules> check /var/log/maillog and the archived ones also check /var/log/messages that will log all the smtp and po/imap traffic
[03:24] <diytto> qin: Hold on
[03:24] <[THC]AcidRain> first, can you tell me how to change my hostname from "mail" back to
[03:24] <[THC]AcidRain> "acid-desktop"
[03:25] <L1nuxRules> hostname whatiwantit
[03:25] <diytto> qin: Done
[03:25] <qin> diytto: fglrxinfo (to see driver)
[03:26] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[03:26] <qin> diytto: Is your usb listed and /dev/sdb1 ?
[03:26] <diytto> qin: Command not found
[03:26] <[THC]AcidRain> see. now im mad. that didnt work before... and it just worked fine now :/
[03:26] <qin> diytto: ok
[03:26] <diytto> qin: I have no idea where its mounted
[03:27] <L1nuxRules> diytto fdisk -l
[03:27] <puff> pksadiq: Thanks for your advice.
[03:27] <qin> diytto: It is not mounted yet, give me line from sudo fdisk -l for NOT /dev/sda
[03:28] <diytto> qin: /dev/sdb
[03:28] <diytto> qin: I can move and plug it in to ethernet

[03:30] <qin> diytto: And sudo cp /var/log/* /media/log<TAB>

[03:48] <santhosh> can i know about cloud server
[03:48] <maahes> I need help: I need to chroot back into my live usb, but /etc/passwd shows no: root,livesessionuser, or my user.
[03:49] <santhosh> i need to know about ubuntu cloud
[03:49] <maahes> !cloud
[03:49] <maahes> there's a channel for it too, I was hoping that would spit that out
[03:49] <santhosh> what
[03:50] <santhosh> is it for server
[03:50] <maahes> yersh.
[03:50] <santhosh> server s are command line oriented or gui

[04:04] <maahes> there's really no best messenger, if you're going to install a gui, use whatever you want. If you're going to use cli use irssi or weechat
[04:04] <chemicalvamp> my touchpad needs to be tweaked.. the vertical scroll zone begins too far left, its about 2 times wider that it should be and google is failing me.. anybody know what i need to do?

[04:06] <wuchtl> !pastebinit
[04:06] <Clerisy> Can anybody spot what's wrong with my startup script, because It's not starting up. http://pastebin.com/Wg4NpLur   It's called startup.sh , I placed it in /usr/bin/ and added it to session startup
[04:07] <wuchtl> is there something like pastebinit for images too? ... until now just fond a script.. it works but i was wondering if ther is something "official"
[04:07] <wuchtl> fond= found
[04:07] <wuchtl> wuchtl: tesssst
[04:07] <maahes> santhosh: yes you can do file transfer.
[04:08] <Clerisy> wuchtl» imgur.com,
[04:09] <ward_> Iszak, try a diffrent video card
[04:09] <Iszak> ...
[04:09] <Iszak> oh yes, I'm going to open my laptop and perform surgury and modify the graphics card.
[04:09] <Iszak> modify/change
[04:10] <santhosh> :maahes how
[04:10] <wuchtl> Clerisy: thing you didn't get me right. pastebinit is a simple command that automatically uploads the text file i choose. i wass wondering if ther is an equivalent for images...
[04:10] <santhosh> using
[04:10] <maahes> santhosh for that I direct you to google or #irssi or #weechat
[04:10] <Clerisy> wuchtl» there is a script you can download on imgur.com
[04:10] <santhosh> k
[04:10] <santhosh> f9
[04:11] <arch_nme> can anyone tell me about how to use the compiling commands
[04:11] <arch_nme> such as make
[04:11] <wuchtl> Clerisy: i allready have a script that works... just wanted to know if there is an "official" packages for that... but thanks your cor concern and interest. sorry that i didn't make my question clear...
[04:15] <maahes> I have a severely damaged system I am unable to log into, I am trying to repair it, if anyone can help me, or direct me to a chan in which I am more likely to get this kind of support, I would greatly appreciate it
[04:15] <nardev> hello how can i list only files with permission 614?
[04:16] <rypervenche> nardev: You can use "find" to do the trick. I'm not sure the exact command though.
[04:17] <rypervenche> nardev: find / -perm 614
[04:17] <nardev> thnx rypervenche
[04:17] <nardev> thanmk you very much
[04:17] <rypervenche> nardev: If you only want files and not folders add "-type f"
[04:19] <wuchtl> nardev: what you can also do is to do a 'ls -al' and then grep for the correct '-rw-----' or what ever 614 is... the find systax was never a fried fro me :P
[04:19] <wuchtl> friend
[04:19] <nardev> wuchtl, thank you very much
[04:20] <wuchtl> nardev: ok, for find you have to use '-perm 614'
[04:21] <rulolxd> can any1 tell where "preferences" is located @ gnome shell?
[04:22] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I have an error when running the update manger after I updated to 11.04 .... W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/partner/source/Sources  404  No
[04:22] <U-b-u-n-t-u> any idea why?
[04:23] <ward_> how do i spoof my mac addy in natty narwhal?
[04:24] <eiriksvin> does anyone know how I could build a 3D animated desktop background utilizing a blender project of mine?
[04:24] <eiriksvin> I'm checking #blender for more info, but any help is good help
[04:24] <ward_> eiriksvin, sir/maam if u find the answer to that pls let me know! awesome question!
[04:25] <prasanth_pius> hi
[04:25] <Roric> Hello.
[04:26] <eiriksvin> I have some wicked ideas that I would love to be able to implement on Ubuntu, like finding a way to have the classic workspace switcher to show the label of any maximized program
[04:27] <eiriksvin> in a tooltip
[04:28] <puntu> can anyone help me with
[04:28] <puntu> changing from server cui to gui
[04:28] <puntu> :maahes
[04:28] <puntu> :maahes r u there
[04:28] <jefelex> puntu - you have to install the whole gnome pakeage to be able to do that
[04:29] <jefelex> you can install it on a server platform
[04:29] <eiriksvin> thats why I wished that they would have kept the classic veiw, just improved on it as another release, we have so many great ideas... as an open source community, the core idea should always remain
[04:29] <wildbat> puntu: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:30] <puntu> :wildbat its not working showing some errors
[04:31] <Nobgul-BNC> puntu: I suggest. sudo apt-get install gnome-core
[04:31] <Nobgul-BNC> That will give you the bare minimum for vncing into the server.
[04:31] <puntu> wheather it will work
[04:31] <eiriksvin> I remember dinking around on the same basic style of Linux GUI when I was a kid, I'm 29 now... look at windows, they kept alot of the basic windows principle gui since 95, Linux should have remained the same, with just expanding in a better direction...
[04:32] <puntu> gnome-core is server edition
[04:32] <Nobgul-BNC> puntu: If your getting errors paste them into pastebin and let us see
[04:32] <jefelex> apt will take care of dependencies - what errors are being displayed?
[04:33] <eiriksvin> Why did they change the search style, the original search style is the fastest search style of all in Ubuntu... (locate +i) should have been given a pretty gui and boom, superspeed pretty search thats clean
[04:33] <jefelex> I was using red hat version 7 with gnome way back in the 90's!
[04:34] <SAM_theman> how do i convert multiple files to .pdf via terminal ?
[04:34] <jefelex> gotta go
[04:35] <Nobgul-BNC> SAM_theman, all the same type of files or diff ones?
[04:35] <SAM_theman> all the same type
[04:35] <Nobgul-BNC> what extnesion?
[04:35] <SAM_theman> these files I want to convert end in .doc
[04:35] <Nobgul-BNC> html doc?
[04:35] <rulolxd> does any1 know where preferences are located at gnome shell?
[04:35] <Nobgul-BNC> ok
[04:35] <Nobgul-BNC> thats eacy
[04:35] <FloodBot1> Nobgul-BNC: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:35] <Oath> I'm trying to buy something from the Ubuntu Store, and I need to know what £ 16.00 in USD is; I googled it and it returned $25.90 (ish) just wanted to clarify from someone who might have better knowledge.
[04:35] <SAM_theman> I tried convert *.doc but says something about wrong image ...
[04:36] <SAM_theman> "convert *.doc xyz.pdf "
[04:36] <arch_nme> Oath, they ahve currency converters in google
[04:36] <Nobgul-BNC> Yea there is something I installed to do it but now i can't remember the name give me a few i am sure i will rmember
[04:37] <Oath> that's why I said I checked with google but I just wanted to make sure with someone else
[04:37] <arch_nme> Oath, isn't someone else going to just google it also?
[04:37] <Oath> Google says that they can't guarentee that the conversion is 100% correct, and maybe someone who lives in the UK might already know the conversion, or perhaps someone in the US who has already gone through something similar.
[04:38] <arch_nme> Oath, I don't think most people have current exchange rates commited to memory, I mean they change all the time
[04:38] <arch_nme> Oath, they change everyday
[04:38] <Nobgul-BNC> SAM_theman, c heck out unoconv i think that was the program
[04:38] <Oath> They change every moment I'm well aware. Never mind I'm not getting anywhere.
[04:38] <arch_nme> Oath, seriously looking it up is much much more reliaab;e than asking someone
[04:39] <fluffman> I can't get sound to play from my terminal or tty
[04:39] <eiriksvin> Linux will always be my primary OS, if i get a computer with any Win OS on it, it will be on the smallest little bit of a partition that I can manage... I am really thinking about trying virtual machine, because then I can just massacre the win junk I don't like... I dunno, I nuked win7 only 3 days after I got Ubuntu (10.10 at the time)
[04:39] <fluffman> used vlc, mplayer, bplay, aplay, cplay, and more
[04:39] <arch_nme> I'm missing something called libcurl I need to compile something
[04:39] <arch_nme> how would I get that
[04:39] <Nobgul-BNC> fluffman, is puleaudio running?
[04:39] <puntu> :nobgul-BNC  the errors such as failed to fetch
[04:40] <th0r> arch_nme: if you are trying to compile, you need the -dev package for that lib
[04:40] <fluffman> Nobgul-BNC: yes, and alsamixer works to adjust the sound from youtube, etc
[04:40] <Nobgul-BNC> sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
[04:41] <eiriksvin> th0r: hail, are you Asatruar?
[04:41] <Nobgul-BNC> arch_nme ^^
[04:41] <arch_nme> th0r, where do I get these dev packages, I just need libcurl or that's what it said when I ran ./configure
[04:42] <th0r> arch_nme: should be in the repos
[04:42] <arch_nme> do I search in the software center?
[04:42] <arch_nme> th0r, what do you mean repos?
[04:42] <th0r> arch_nme: synaptic, or apt-get
[04:43] <szal> arch_nme: where you install programs from, they don't come out of thin air ;)
[04:43] <arch_nme> so just type like "apt-get libcurl"
[04:43] <szal> arch_nme: no, you don't, you're missing an argument
[04:43] <th0r> arch_nme: no, I just said you need the dev package
[04:43] <eiriksvin> arch_nme: Nobgul-BNC said to put that into a terminal> sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
[04:43] <arch_nme> szal, I generally use the software center, I'm trying to install something now that is not in there though
[04:43] <th0r> arch_nme: if you are having this hard a time understanding repo, do yourself a favour and don't try compiling software
[04:44] <szal> v   libcurl-dev                                                   -
[04:44] <arch_nme> th0r, that's not helpful, if I just sit here and never try anything how would I ever learn anything
[04:44] <szal> if it's not there for you, then your system is b0rked, because it should..  by default
[04:44] <tensorpudding> arch_nme: what is it
[04:45] <coz_> arch_nme,  actually the lead developer for  compiz , just a few years ago, didnt know how to compile an application,, so keep truckin :)
[04:45] <eiriksvin> arch_nme: your doing fine, do you know how to open a terminal?
[04:45] <th0r> arch_nme: correct, but I wouldn't want you trying brain surgery after completing high school biology
[04:45] <arch_nme> th0r, no lives are on the line here
[04:45] <extraclassic> arch_nme: you can search packages with "aptitude search <search-string>" then install with "apt-get install <package>"
[04:46] <arch_nme> eiriksvin, yes I'm in the term about to try that command of yours
[04:46] <SAM_theman> It works but, can it convert all those .doc(s) into a single .pdf
[04:46] <tensorpudding> huh, libcurl-dev doesn't appear in the software center
[04:47] <arch_nme> eiriksvin, how did you find that it the full thing was libcurl4-openssl-dev???
[04:47] <Nobgul-BNC> ͸libcurl4-openssl-dev should
[04:47] <eiriksvin> arch_nme: then your doing good, don't worry about what you don't know... I only had Ubuntu for 3 days before I nuked Win7, I am fine
[04:47] <Nobgul-BNC> arch_nme, I found it out because I have needed to install it a few times.
[04:47] <arch_nme> Nobgul-BNC, is there a way to look that stuff up if you didn't know, is that what extraclassic is reffering to?
[04:48] <arch_nme> just out of curousity
[04:48] <tensorpudding> ah, virtual package
[04:48] <SAM_theman> Nobgul-BNC: bump
[04:48] <tensorpudding> why virtual packages don't appear in the software center, i'm not sure
[04:48] <antioch> anyone good with boost?
[04:48] <tensorpudding> boost would be ##c++
[04:48] <tensorpudding> this isn't a programming channel
[04:48] <antioch> yea i cant get on that chanel
[04:48] <vitor-br> my LibreOffice prints a vertical bar on the line that has a note, someone is going through this? or is it just me?
[04:49] <Nobgul-BNC> arch_nme, Yea you can just google the error. Most times you will find the solution
[04:49] <antioch> ok
[04:49] <eiriksvin> arch_nme: I would suggest learning where to search online for info... I always search like this in google: Ubuntu how to blah blah blah
[04:49] <Nobgul-BNC> SAM_theman, You would need to create a script. something like... For each in pairs do blah or something
[04:49] <arch_nme> eiriksvin, I've heard of google yes I just thought maybe there was a way from within the os to search for that kind of thing
[04:50] <extraclassic> arch_nme: that command will search your repositories for your string and tell you exact package names you'd need to use to install....so doing "aptitude search gnome" would return hundreds of packages
[04:50] <Nobgul-BNC> SAM_theman, you may want to check #bash for that though.
[04:50] <arch_nme> extraclassic, ahh, cool
[04:51] <SAM_theman> lol
[04:52] <SAM_theman> scripting days
[04:52] <eiriksvin> arch_nme: oh, well informational searches in Google will become your best friend when dealing with Ubuntu... I keep the open www.google.com as my homepage, it makes thing fast, or you could also use the searchbar in Firefox, it is just as good
[04:52] <Nobgul-BNC> Yea =/
[04:52] <vitor-br> my LibreOffice prints a vertical bar on the line that has a note, someone is going through this? or is it just me?
[04:56] <eiriksvin> the more you research a certain subject, the better off you will be... trust me, I had a heck of a time even using Ubuntu at all when I first started because I couldn't get my USB wifi adapter to work, even using out-dated blogs... then after about 4 hours of research, learning all I needed to know, I found a way to run my adapter native... and then I dropped win7 like a bad habit... and then played angry rhino in a tea shop
[04:56] <SAM_theman> Nobgul-BNC: nah I rather write a c++ application for that :-D
[04:56] <HackThePlanet> I need some new programming projects
[04:56] <HackThePlanet> in C/C++
[04:56] <SAM_theman> HackThePlanet: team based or lone wolf?
[04:57] <HackThePlanet> team-based would be nice, since most of the stuff I did in college was solo
[04:57] <eiriksvin> SAM_theman: python is fun, and fast... it can be used for everything
[04:57] <SAM_theman> C is not my cup of joe but c++
[04:57] <grumete> hi, do you know what to do to play .mkv files properly?
[04:57] <SAM_theman> grumete: vlc?
[04:57] <HackThePlanet> VLC player?
[04:58] <grumete> tried vlc already... nothing
[04:58] <coz_> grumete,  you have all of the codecs installed ...yes?
[04:58] <SAM_theman> codecs?
[04:58] <arch_nme> vlc doesn't have codecs
[04:58] <grumete> I'm not sure coz_
[04:58] <arch_nme> they are built in the program
[04:58] <grumete> what codecs should I check out?
[04:59] <coz_> grumete,  ok first   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:59] <coz_> grumete,  also is this 32 or 64 bit
[04:59] <arch_nme> try gnome player
[04:59] <SAM_theman> grumete: do this... open terminal and place the file into your terminal beginning with vlc
[04:59] <eiriksvin> can't .mkv files be played right with banshee
[05:00] <SAM_theman> example "vlc pronofiles.mkv"
[05:00] <eiriksvin> I think I made some and they worked
[05:00] <grumete> mmh it says: E: Unable to clocate package ubuntu-restricted
[05:00] <grumete> ok lemmi try that too.
[05:00] <coz_> grumete,   open synaptic package manager,,,  search for ubuntu restricted
[05:01] <grumete> aight
[05:01] <SAM_theman> Dude run the file through the terminal to see what's the problem and post that output to a pastebin
[05:01] <eiriksvin> heh, oh yeah get the ubuntu-restricted and it will play it, thats why it says E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted
[05:01] <grumete> SAM_theman did it, it was the same :(
[05:01] <coz_> grumete, when synaptic opens  go to  Settings  /  Repositories... second tab  and make sure anything there is enabled by ticking the box
[05:02] <grumete> SAM_theman: cannot open codec (Cook audio)
[05:02] <coz_> grumete,  then close that dialog and hit the  Reload  button in synaptic,,, then search for ubuntu restricted extras
[05:02] <jtreminio> Does anyone know how to hide a window's titlebar in XFCE? I'm not sure if compiz is active in XFCE, but pasting in the same text string into compiz-settings that hides an applications' titlebar does not seem to be working.
[05:02] <SAM_theman> oh okay
[05:02] <grumete> and more messages
[05:02] <SAM_theman> HackThePlanet: ill get back to u l8
[05:02] <grumete> coz_ doing what you said
[05:03] <HackThePlanet> SAM_theman: okay
[05:04] <SAM_theman> grumete:  sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd
[05:04] <grumete> ok
[05:04] <SAM_theman> grumete:  sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-esd
[05:04] <coz_> grumete,  tell me when you have done that but do not close synaptic yet
[05:04] <grumete> coz_ done
[05:04] <grumete> I checked everything
[05:05] <coz_> grumete,  ok  hit the search button and type   ubuntu restricted
[05:05] <grumete> SAM_theman:E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:05] <coz_> grumete,  when the search fi nishes  tick the Ubuntu -restricted-extras package for instllation
[05:06] <bazhang> grumete, either close other instances of apt or use sudo
[05:06] <SAM_theman> lol
[05:06] <SAM_theman> close em
[05:06] <SAM_theman> more than one apt/synaptic opened
[05:06] <grumete> bazhang you're right
[05:06] <grumete> yes
[05:06] <coz_> grumete,   but we still want synaptic opened dude
[05:06] <SAM_theman> HackThePlanet: been working on arrays all week
[05:07] <grumete> yep
[05:07] <SAM_theman> grumete: check "top" to make sure no apt's are running
[05:07] <grumete> almost finishing with the restricted package, and then I'll return to the vlc command :)
[05:07] <coz_> grumete,   did you install th e restricted extras or tick it for installation?
[05:07] <grumete> working on that coz_ :)
[05:07] <SAM_theman> followed by "kill [PID]"
[05:07] <coz_> grumete,  well no   when that installs hit search again and  type in     vlc
[05:08] <grumete> ok
[05:08] <coz_> grumete,   scroll down and tick all packages that vlc in the name
[05:08] <SAM_theman> coz_: not legacy ticks though
[05:08] <Nobgul-BNC> Also there is some html server vlc apps there i reckon.
[05:08] <coz_> SAM_theman,  well there are about 13  vlc packages includiing vlc itself
[05:09] <coz_> grumete,   when those have installed let me know
[05:09] <grumete> ok
[05:09] <coz_> grumete,   is this ubuntu 11.04.. and is it 32 of 64 bit
[05:09] <luisman> hi everybody
[05:09] <HackThePlanet> SAM_theman: arrays? sounds boring
[05:09] <grumete> I think it's 32 it's core i5
[05:10] <SAM_theman> coz_: oops
[05:10] <alira> Hello
[05:10] <coz_> grumete,   in terminal type     arch
[05:10] <luisman> I was wondering if anyone here know how to configure a module? I have two soundcards using the same module, but I want to use only one
[05:10] <grumete> coz_ : i686
[05:11] <coz_> grumete,  ok  then go here   http://packages.medibuntu.org/natty/w32codecs.html  , scoll down and download the w32codecs
[05:11] <alira> im sorry i have a problem with installing ubuntu11.04 inside ms windows i downloaded it with out wubi what should i do if i wanted to install it inside win xp?
[05:11] <coz_> grumete,  when that finished downloading  you can double click it to install
[05:11] <alira> no
[05:11] <benedict> alira: you will need the wubi version if you want to try it within windows
[05:11] <luisman> I was wondering if anyone here know how to configure a module? I have two soundcards using the same module, but I want to use only one
[05:12] <coz_> grumete,  also copy this command into termina.    sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh    although not a codec it will allow  dvd's to be played if you decide to do that later
[05:12] <alira> yeah! problem that i have is that i did not download it with wubi
[05:12] <benedict> luisman: woha, hold oyur horses... if no one is answering means, noone knows... pleas wait some more time than one minute to repost our question...
[05:12] <coz_> grumete,   after that you should be good to go.. however, if it still doesnt play you can probably convert it to .avi using ffmpeg
[05:13] <alira> and i do not know how to install it now
[05:13] <tang> 怎么进入中文？
[05:13] <Nobgul-BNC> !jp | tang
[05:13] <bazhang> !cn | tang
[05:13] <tang> THANKS
[05:13] <adurodea>  alira you can use vmware or virtualbox
[05:13] <benedict> alira: you can also install ubuntu from outside windows...  that's the common way
[05:13] <bazhang> tang /join #ubuntu-cn
[05:14] <luisman> benedict: thanks
[05:14] <adurodea> luisman: just set the one yo uwant as default and don't use the other one.
[05:14] <arch_nme> okay, this may seem a dumb question but it seems like I successfully compiled and installed this program but uhh, where it is?
[05:14] <jake_> hmmm
[05:14] <kazimiya> Hai
[05:15] <grumete> coz_ I'm doing what you said, thank you a lot :)
[05:15] <coz_> grumete,   if , again, that file doesn play let me k now  ,, I can tell you how to try to convert it to avi
[05:15] <adurodea> arch_nme: depends on the program most let you set where when doing ./configure using --prefix otherwise use find and look for it
[05:15] <alira> you know i know how to install it outside of win xp but what happend if i wanted to unistall it? another problem is that i donot want to lose my xp
[05:15] <grumete> SAM_theman, thank you a lot for your help.
[05:16] <arch_nme> adurodea, I didn't set anything I just typed ./configure
[05:16] <alira> vmware is nice , thats not slow?
[05:16] <arch_nme> adurodea, it could be anywhere on my hdd though?
[05:16] <luisman> adurodea: alsamixer does not recognize both, but lspci does
[05:16] <Nobgul-BNC> arch_nme, You can try the whereis command from a temrinal ie: whereis firefox
[05:17] <Chipzzz> arch_nme: pretty much everything winds up either in /opt or /usr/something
[05:17] <adurodea> alira: virtualbox/vmware you set how much of your resources it gets
[05:18] <Chipzzz> (usually /usr/share or /usr/local)
[05:18] <extraclassic> arch_nme: it's probably in /usr/local....when you compile stuff you can do "./configure --prefix=<directory>" and it'll put it wherever you want
[05:19] <SAM_theman> grumete: np
[05:19] <SAM_theman> grumete: did it work?
[05:19] <grumete> working on it buddie :)
[05:19] <extraclassic> arch_nme: also you can do "configure --help" and it will list custom compile options. The reason compiling would be preferred over a binary would be to customize your options for the software
[05:20] <SAM_theman> doesn't linux have screensharing ?
[05:21] <Nobgul-BNC> vncserver
[05:21] <coz_> SAM_theman,  you mean remote desktop?
[05:21] <Nobgul-BNC> There is a built in remote desktop but you need to accept the incomming connection.
[05:21] <SAM_theman> coz_: yeah
[05:21] <SAM_theman> but a application thats user friendly
[05:23] <extraclassic> SAM_theman: if you want to connect to a computer, you'd have to install a VNC server and run it...vino is a main one. Then there's a client called tsclient that's pretty good.
[05:23] <Chipzzz> SAM_theman: you can do a remote x session over ssh with nx
[05:23] <SAM_theman> https://join.me/419-617-064
[05:23] <SAM_theman> thats live my friends .. .feel free to follow me
[05:24] <wuchtlz> Chipzzz: nx? usually ssh with the '-X' option is enough...
[05:24] <hangthedj> http://www.nomachine.com/  It uses ssh, its much faster than vnc.
[05:24] <Nobgul-BNC> lol
[05:24] <Nobgul-BNC> Thats crazy sam
[05:25] <wuchtlz> SAM_theman: hahaha, that's cool... but a bit risky...
[05:25] <HackThePlanet> we might see his pron
[05:25] <Chipzzz> wuchtlz: ssh -X lets you open apps on the remote desktop but nx gives you a whole remote desktop
[05:26] <grumete> coz_ didn't work :( maybe it needs a restar in order to work?
[05:26] <Chipzzz> SAM_theman: I like join.me a lot! thanks for that
[05:26] <wuchtlz> Chipzzz: ah, kk thx
[05:26] <coz_> grumete,  not normally it doesnt,, but it cant hurt
[05:27] <grumete> ok I'm doing it.
[05:27] <coz_> grumete,  if that doesn work   we can try to convert to avi
[05:27] <grumete> thank you a LOT really coz_ you are so patient.
[05:31] <Iszak>  what do people use to sync their laptop to their desktop seaminglessly?
[05:31] <Chipzzz> SAM_theman: maybe if you get join.me to make a linux client I'll send u money
[05:32] <grumete> coz_ nothing :(
[05:32] <coz_> grumete,  ok
[05:32] <grumete> but it's alright man.
[05:32] <grumete> thank you very much.
[05:33] <Chipzzz> Iszak: sounds like a project for rsync
[05:33] <coz_> grumete,  ok open a terminal
[05:33] <coz_> grumete,  I assume this is a video ....yes?
[05:33] <Iszak> Chipzzz, certainly does but I don't really want to have to setup a cron to sync it, or have to manually execute it.
[05:33] <Iszak> what I'm aiming for is it to recognize I've modified/created/deletes a file and sync it
[05:34] <grumete> aight coz_
[05:34] <coz_> grumete,  ok  ready?
[05:34] <grumete> ready :)
[05:34] <coz_> grumete,   in that terminal    cd to the location of the file you are talking about
[05:35] <SAM_theman> lol
[05:35] <grumete> done coz_
[05:35] <SAM_theman> Lots of haters out there
[05:35] <hangthedj> Iszak, NFS mount on your laptop?
[05:35] <coz_> grumete  ok now   make sure ffmpeg is installed    sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[05:35] <hangthedj> although you'd need to open your desktop to the world.. :/
[05:36] <grumete> installing
[05:36] <grumete> done coz_
[05:36] <Iszak> hangthedj, I thought about that, but that would mean I'd need my desktop to always be on, and either need to sync the files manually or with a cron again
[05:37] <coz_> grumete,  ok  now    the command is     ffmpeg -i  name of file.mk4    nameof file.avi
[05:37] <Iszak> I'm wanting cloud storage which syncs with my desktop and laptop
[05:37] <grumete> converting to .avi :)
[05:38] <coz_> grumete,  excellent
[05:38] <Iszak> i love ffmpeg so simple but powerful
[05:38] <vandemar> Iszak: dropbox
[05:38] <coz_> grumete,  of course this may not work,, the file itself may not be perfect
[05:38] <Iszak> vandemar, yeah that was the final solution I thought of.
[05:39] <coz_> grumete,  out of curosity,, did you download this video?
[05:39] <dijonyummy> how do i mount an internal drive rw?  i try like this but doesnt work ... /dev/sda1	/mnt/2tb_drive	ntfs-3g	rw,dmask=002	0	0 , its read only, i cant delete stuff
[05:39] <grumete> yes man
[05:39] <grumete> it's .mkv file ...
[05:39] <coz_> grumete,  is it something I can download as well to test here?  lin k would be cool
[05:39] <grumete> Game of thrones :b
[05:40] <HackThePlanet> would anyone happen to need a novice C/C++/Java developer for any of their projects?
[05:40] <coz_> grumete,  and this is a video  not a game ...yes?
[05:40] <bazhang> !ot | HackThePlanet
[05:40] <grumete> nope
[05:40] <grumete> can I pm you coz_?
[05:40] <coz_> grumete,  sure
[05:40] <drhe1skt>  /dev/sda1 /mnt/2tb_drive ntfs-3g default 0 0
[05:40] <drhe1skt> try that
[05:41] <ferra> hey
[05:41] <f4rr3ll> hey
[05:42] <Chipzzz> kijonyummy: i think the param is "-w", not "rw"
[05:42] <ferra> do you know why my kernel is candela?
[05:42] <Chipzzz> sorry... dijonyummy
[05:42] <ferra> hell....
[05:42] <ferra> I like waffles...
[05:43] <bazhang> ferra, stay on topic please
[05:43] <ferra> ok
[05:43] <ferra> i compile my kernel and is not a generic
[05:43] <dijonyummy> oh thats in the fstab file so i dont think a - would be there
[05:43] <ferra> is candela
[05:43] <bazhang> ferra, why would you compile your kernel
[05:44] <ferra> why not?
[05:44] <ferra> but is <IP_ADDRESS>-candela
[05:45] <bazhang> ferra, its not supported on ubuntu
[05:45] <ferra> what does it means candela instread of generic?
[05:45] <celthunder> ferra: where did yo uget the kernel from? and yo uset the name when you set the rest of the compiler options
[05:46] <ferra> i get it from Kernel.org
[05:46] <bazhang> ferra, well its not supported.
[05:46] <ferra> nop i dont set the name the compiler do it
[05:47] <ferra> the kernel is not supported?
[05:47] <celthunder> hmm default name usually is -generic or something then but idk if you didn't set it don't complain when it's not what you want
[05:47] <bazhang> ferra, 3rd party stuff is not, no
[05:47] <ferra> ok thanks
[05:50] <adurodea> I was trying out unity (usually used to dwm) i probably won't stick with it anyway but where do windows minimize to?
[05:51] <coz_> adurodea,  it should minimize to the launcher
[05:51] <adurodea> not there
[05:51] <coz_> hmm
[05:51] <adurodea> and yes it's still open.
[05:52] <coz_> adurodea,  is the icon for it in the launcher?
[05:52] <adurodea> (i can tell it's still open cause it's tmux in a small window and if i make it bigger and it were closed the first time it'd resize)
[05:52] <adurodea> yes
[05:52] <coz_> adurodea,  ok left click the icon in the laucnher
[05:52] <adurodea> that just opens a new one
[05:52] <dijonyummy> anyone know how to mount an internal ntfs drive?  i use in fstab... /dev/sda1       /mnt/2tb_drive  ntfs-3g defaults        0       0  but its not writeable and i cant delete. the ubuntu manual had something like this but it doesnt work for me
[05:52] <coz_> adurodea,   hmm I thought middle click launched a new instance
[05:53] <adurodea> dijonyummy: don't use ntfs-3g....ntfs support is now built into the kernel (or should be)
[05:54] <dijonyummy> so what should i use instead of ntfs-3g
[05:54] <adurodea> and either way the fs type isn't -3g i'm pretty sure
[05:54] <adurodea> try just ntfs
[05:54] <kitty_> hello everyone
[05:57] <bluebaron[4]> sup
[05:57] <bluebaron[4]> dijonyummy, adurodea yah ... wtf
[05:58] <dijonyummy> ok nautilus sucks, even after i umount, then close a nautilus windows, then re-mount, it still doesnt pick up changes and cannot write/delete. but i can delete via terminal now after modding fstab and remounting
[05:58] <bluebaron[4]> enclaved
[05:58] <bluebaron[4]> is not here
[05:58] <bazhang> bluebaron[4], ubuntu support question?
[05:59] <bluebaron[4]> oh what the hell ... this isn't #r.trees
[06:00] <dijonyummy> ok let me guess. there was a diff between mounting ntfs vs ntfs-3g. but not anymore, same just aliases now
[06:02] <adurodea> coz_: ok now i don't even get a launch bar on the left side...definitly not impressive first display for a wm.
[06:02] <wildbat> dijonyummy, you mounted as default ~ so you can write to the FS with root only
[06:03] <SAM_theman> guampa: sup!
[06:03] <SAM_theman> guampa: any luck on vlc?
[06:03] <coz_> adurodea,  mm,,,  either restart x,,, or  in terminal   unity --reset & disown   or   in terminal    compiz --replace & disown
[06:03] <guampa> vlc ... vlc ..
[06:04] <guampa> are you sure you got the right person?
[06:04] <kitty_> hi coz_,
[06:05] <grappr> no
[06:05] <grappr> i won't take your abuse
[06:05] <bazhang> grappr, wrong channel
[06:05] <coz_> kitty_,   hey

[06:06] <praveen_> help me in Quickly --- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1784687
[06:06] <bazhang> praveen_, with what. give us a synopsis of the issue
[06:06] <andrewS> wow... so here i was thinking dns servers were just a gigantic hosts file with two columns sitting on a hard drive... only to find this book on dns alone is 674 pages.
[06:06] <andrewS> WHY IS THE INTERNET COMPLICATED?
[06:06] <guampa> ...
[06:07] <andrewS> i demand answers, ubuntians
[06:07] <bazhang> andrewS, lose the caps. also not related to ubuntu
[06:07] <codinGenesis> how to open music files from terminal ??
[06:07] <praveen_> bazhang, i have given link where i have posted my problem..
[06:07] <tensorpudding> !ot | andrewS
[06:07] <bazhang> codinGenesis, mplayer file.mp3
[06:07] <andrewS> comedy is always appropriate to any channel
[06:07] <codinGenesis> infact how to open various other files and documnets  in terminal
[06:07] <grappr> i'm using linux mint, it's far better than ubuntu
[06:07] <grappr> i remember when i used to use ubuntu
[06:07] <grappr> before i discovered linux mint
[06:07] <codinGenesis> bazhang: :)
[06:07] <tensorpudding> !mint | grappr
[06:08] <dijonyummy> wildbat: ok i see thanks for clarification
[06:09] <magn3ts> If were going to get a SSD for my system but am going to keep my data on a separate spinning drive or a NAS... how big of a SSD would you guys recommend
[06:10] <IdleOne> magn3ts: the largest you can afford. ##hardware if you want more info on what brand is good
[06:10] <tensorpudding> big enough for what you want to put on it, and no bigger
[06:10] <codinGenesis> bazhang,   i unable to play , i wrote mplayer my_music_file.mp3
[06:10] <IdleOne> codinGenesis: aplay filename.mp3
[06:11] <IdleOne> codinGenesis: aplay accepts multiple files names see: man aplay
[06:11] <adurodea> uhm 10-15GB dpeending on what apps you plan on adding afterwords
[06:11] <tensorpudding> they don't usually sell many really small SSD's
[06:12] <codinGenesis> IdleOne: :)
[06:12] <dijonyummy> i noticed something weird with audio. in windows, if i plug in headset to output jack, audio goes to headset only. but in ubuntu now, it still goes to both headset AND the speaker. whoa, how to fix this?
[06:12] <dijonyummy> i dont want it to go to speaker if plug in the headset
[06:13] <magn3ts> IdleOne, I'll drop in, I kinda have my mind set on the X-25 right now based on failure rate stats.

[06:24] <pksadiq> !ccsm | phong_
[06:26] <bazhang> praveen_, not had any experience with quickly, perhaps #ubuntu-packaging can help
[06:26] <praveen_> thanks for your time...
[06:27] <Gracenotes> hi. I'm having a problem getting totem/gstreamer video working on 64-bit natty, in particular MPEG-4-encoded streams (audio works). The video area is blank :x
[06:27] <coz_> Gracenotes,  do you have all of the codecs installed?
[06:28] <coz_> Gracenotes,   sudo apt-get install  ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:28] <Gracenotes> yeah
[06:28] <Gracenotes> that's an option on livecd install now, right?
[06:28] <Gracenotes> checked the box for that.
[06:28] <coz_> Gracenotes,  maybe  I dont use the live cd
[06:28] <Gracenotes> hmm never mind, I must have installed a subset. let me see, thanks :)
[06:31] <Gracenotes> ah, no such luck
[06:31] <Gracenotes> even after it installed the bad and ugly codec plugins
[06:31] <coz_> Gracenotes,  did you try either   banshee  or vlc?
[06:31] <doomfinger> when you set up a socks proxy through networking does it count for everything, or just the apps that support socks, or just firefox?
[06:32] <pksadiq> Gracenotes: the media may be damaged, try vlc
[06:32] <coz_> Gracenotes,  if you try vlc  I suggest opening synaptic package manager ..hit Search  type in vlc and install all of the vlc  packages
[06:32] <adurodea> Gracenotes: if you're using totem you might need gecko-mediaplayer (it lets the video play in firefox/chromium i think)
[06:32] <coz_> Gracenotes,  or sudo apt-get install  vlc*    <, I think that will work
[06:33] <Gracenotes> nope, media is okay, and won't play any video at all
[06:33] <Gracenotes> I have a feeling it's not a codec problem
[06:33] <Gracenotes> just the audio stream is going through
[06:33] <adurodea> what plugin are you using to play the video in the browser?
[06:34] <Gracenotes> totem is nice because it partially indexes partially downloaded files
[06:34] <Jon____> hey can anyone tell me where to go for help with ubuntu server internet setup?
[06:34] <Gracenotes> it's not in the browser, they're AVIs I downloaded which contain MPEG-4-encoded video and MPEG 1 audio
[06:34] <adurodea> Jon____: /etc/networking/interfaces
[06:34] <bazhang> Jon____, #ubuntu-server or here
[06:34] <adurodea> or /etc/network/interfaces
[06:34] <adurodea> something like that
[06:35] <Jon____> haha im on a university network
[06:35] <bazhang> adurodea, I think he means the channel
[06:35] <Jon____> and i think its messing with the connection
[06:35] <bazhang> Gracenotes, use handbrake to convert
[06:35] <adurodea> bazhang: oh oops sorry.
[06:35] <punty> hi
[06:35] <punty> wats up going on
[06:36] <Gracenotes> vlc and banshee are similarly blank. mplayer works, but it doesn't allow seeking in partially downloaded files, making it much worse than totem for me.
[06:36] <bazhang> punty, ubuntu support
[06:36] <punty> yes
[06:36] <Gracenotes> it may be a video card problem
[06:36] <Gracenotes> the files are just fine
[06:37] <Gracenotes> I haven't had this problem before and I'm guessing it's due to some 64bit hiccup somewhere
[06:37] <Jon____> so anyone know about common dhcp errors?
[06:37] <Gracenotes> since I've previously only used 32bit ubuntu and installed it in lots of different places :/
[06:38] <coz_> Jon____,  if no one here knows , you can also try the ##linux channel
[06:38] <pksadiq> !players | Gracenotes I think xine is good :
[06:38] <Jon____> kk thanks
[06:38] <tensorpudding> juk's still around?
[06:38] <santhosh_keesara> hi punty
[06:39] <adurodea> Jon____: what's the dhcp error and are you using dhclient or dhcpcd?
[06:39] <Jon____> haha over my head
[06:39] <Gracenotes> mm, I'll install it and see if it works okay
[06:39] <Jon____> im on the norhtwestern network
[06:39] <Jon____> used auto config
[06:39] <Jon____> tried to ping googe... didnt work
[06:39] <Gracenotes> otherwise I'll look at common dependencies between totem, vlc, and xine and see if I can blame anything
[06:41] <santhosh_keesara> hi ppppppppuuuuunnn
[06:41] <adurodea> Jon____: go to a terminal and type ifconfig eth0 down;ifconfig eth0 up;dhclient eth0 does it give any errors?
[06:41] <Gracenotes> :| still no video
[06:41] <Gracenotes> wat
[06:41] <Jon____> not any visible ones
[06:41] <Jon____> i have an ip
[06:41] <Krishnandu> Hi, can you please suggest something like Hyper Terminal in windows??
[06:41] <adurodea> Jon____: can you ping your gateway
[06:42] <adurodea> Jon____: in channel please sir.
[06:42] <Jon____> hah sorry
[06:42] <Jon____> how do u ping the gateway
[06:43] <pksadiq> Krishnandu: what does hyper terminal do in windows?
[06:43] <adurodea> Jon____: type route it'll tell you what your gateway is
[06:43] <Krishnandu> pksadiq, Well, accept TCP connection on a port and if any data is sent it's get showed
[06:43] <Krishnandu> somewhat like telnet...
[06:43] <Jon____> just shows a star
[06:43] <Gracenotes> it's odd to not have video working out of the box. lemme check if any apt upgrades will help...?
[06:43] <Jon____> for my ip
[06:43] <adurodea> pksadiq: it's a ppp / telnet client
[06:44] <pksadiq> adurodea: ok
[06:44] <pksadiq> Krishnandu: telnet itself is available
[06:44] <Krishnandu> pksadiq, minicom would have been fine, but alas it only accepts serial port
[06:44] <adurodea> Krishnandu: netstat would work
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> Gracenotes: if its nvidia based you may need to blacklist the nouveau driver
[06:44] <Krishnandu> pksadiq, no I dont want telnet
[06:45] <Gracenotes> it definitely is nvidia
[06:45] <pksadiq> Krishnandu: or I think you need tcpdump   just shows all the packet in and out
[06:45] <Krishnandu> adurodea, pksadiq Lemme define what I'm trying to do...I've a device, and I'm sending some data to the IP of my linux pc, now I want to see what data is coming
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> Gracenotes: add the bootoption: nouveau.blacklist=1
[06:46] <Krishnandu> pksadiq, Ya I tried tcpdump, that's right, it shows the packet info, but I want the data too...
[06:46] <adurodea> Krishnandu: wireshark?
[06:46] <Jon____> member:adurodea: there is a defualt and one for my ip. cant ping either
[06:46] <pksadiq> Krishnandu: tcpdump -vvv              does, I think
[06:46] <qin> Krishnandu: ngrep, or wireshark
[06:46] <Krishnandu> adurodea, Say from the device I send "Hi", that program should display that message "Hi" from the device IP
[06:46] <adurodea> Jon____: route add default gw <yourgatewayip>
[06:46] <Krishnandu> qin, Thanks, lemme try...
[06:47] <adurodea> Krishnandu: yes wireshark would say hi assuming you sent the data in plain text
[06:47] <Gracenotes> ActionParsnip: okay, lemme see how that goes, thanks
[06:47] <Krishnandu> adurodea, yeah, plain text
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> Gracenotes: np man. When you get the proprietary driver in you will be ok
[06:47] <Jon____> adurodea: is it supposed to be mostly letters?
[06:48] <Jon____> adurodea: also SIOCADDRT operation not permitted
[06:48] <Gracenotes> bootoptions.. reminds me of fun times with xorg.conf
[06:48] <adurodea> Jon____: no do yo uhave a default route gateway? can you ping that one? should be an ip
[06:48] <thrillERboy> Hi, I want to reduce font size in CLI only mode, ie. ctrl+alt+f2 mode, how to do it?
[06:48] <adurodea> Jon____: sudo and do it
[06:49] <santhosh_keesara> where r u masn
[06:49] <Jon____> adurodea: yea i have a default, but it displays letters under the gateway and a * for my ip
[06:49] <santhosh_keesara> im in ubuntu where r u?
[06:50] <adurodea> Jon____: ok nslookup <lettersforgateway> to get the ip and/or try pinging it with the letters
[06:51] <bazhang> !ot | santhosh_keesara
[06:51] <thrillERboy> How do I run the previous command I typed with sudo? Like reallly lazy way.
[06:51] <Gracenotes> hm, haven't done this with grub2 yet. *reads*
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> thrillERboy: use up cursor, press Home then type sudo
[06:52] <pksadiq> thrillERboy: the very previous can be done by CTRL+R  sudo            and it will show
[06:52] <qin> Why /tmp would be able to fiil
[06:52] <Jon____> adurodea: pinged the default... no response
[06:53] <qin> Why /tmp would be able to fill (7.5 Gb) within 4 month, only skype/browser/movies use?
[06:53] <thrillERboy> Thanks, I was hoping for a way, where I don't have to type sudo :D
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> Gracenotes: hold shift at boot, press E to (e)dit the kernel. Delete quiet splash and add blacklist.nouveau=1 in its place. Enter to continue
[06:54] <din> thrillERboy: !?sudo?
[06:54] <thrillERboy> thats 3 more letters than I like to type :D
[06:54] <Gracenotes> ah. not so different from before... guess doing it while logged in is more trouble than it's worth
[06:55] <Mandrew> hello
[06:55] <BeetrootDog> Does anyone here use "Connect to server..." from gnome to access servers via SSH (sftp)?
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> Qin: flash stuff. Temp files. Logs. /tmp is on tmpfs so a reboot will kick it down as well as load your newest kernel
[06:56] <thrillERboy> thanks din that brings back last sudo command I typed.. :) But, my scenario is like I type "airmon-ng wlan0" Terminal say: Run it as root. I want to run "sudo airmon-ng wlan0", Since, I do this so often, I thought there might be some shortcut to run the previous command with super user privilages.
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> BeetrootDog: used to in my Gnome days
[06:57] <Mandrew> anyone that know what the universall bar in unity is called and how i install it in classic ubuntu or in xubuntu?
[06:57] <din> thrillERboy: to run last command as sudo run: sudo !!
[06:57] <bazhang> Mandrew, the left side dock?
[06:57] <qin> ActionParsnip: Just manually rm all /tmp, wonder why it did not "clean" itself.
[06:57] <Mandrew> on the top of the screen
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> Mandrew: use unity2D
[06:57] <bazhang> Mandrew, you cannot
[06:57] <bullgard4_> Natty obtains the boot message: "* Starting automatic crash report generation [fail]". How can I correct this to: " Starting automatic crash report generation [OK]"?
[06:58] <din> thrillERboy: or if you already ran it as sudo just: !!
[06:58] <Mandrew> bazhang its not possible to install in classic ubuntu?
