[00:04] <lda17h> dammit installe
[00:04] <dascapital__> does anyone know any way i can get my ubuntu OS to connect to the internet in any way at all??
[00:05] <lda17h> y u create extended partition?
[00:05] <lda17h> now i need to redo it :D
[00:05] <lolcat> dascapital__: Because Ubuntu was made to connect to the internet in any way.
[00:05] <KM0201> dascapital__: well... have you tried hooking it up to your router via a network cable?
[00:05] <dascapital__> yes
[00:05] <dascapital__> KM0201 i was the noob guy last time with the same problem
[00:05] <dascapital__> you might not remember
[00:06] <dascapital__> but my nickname was noob last time
[00:06] <dascapital__> i just never solved it
[00:06] <magicianlord> what is in the new kernel upgrade to 10.04? the .8 one
[00:06] <KM0201> dascapital__: thats right, you got kicked cuz you were anoyng.
[00:06] <KM0201> dascapital__: does the machine have a wireless device?.. or only wired
[00:06] <joeoshawa> it is a very difficult problem it seems
[00:06] <sacarlson> dascapital__: what kernel are you using?  to see try uname -a   and pastebinit to us
[00:06] <dascapital__> it should have a wireless device
[00:07] <KM0201> sacarlson: he can't do that, no internet at all on ubuntu
[00:07] <lolcat> KM0201: He claimed his problem was it could, not that it couldn't
[00:07] <joeoshawa> for some reason its not seeing his network card
[00:07] <sacarlson> dascapital__: oh right past it here it's just one line just then number part
[00:07] <KM0201> lolcat: well if he's connected to the internet, then he really doesn't have a problem
[00:07] <dascapital__> Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28
[00:07] <lolcat> KM0201: I tried telling him that
[00:07] <dascapital__> need the rest?
[00:07] <KM0201> dascapital__: are you on the internet now?
[00:08] <dascapital__> not on my laptop
[00:08] <KM0201> dascapital__: ok... i was confused...
[00:08] <KM0201> dascapital__: run "lspci | grep Ethernet" w/o quotes, and see if it turns back a wireless device
[00:08] <joeoshawa> a command line irc chat client should be included in ubuntu just incase x11 messes up on people
[00:09] <sacarlson> dascapital__: no that fine,  I would try another version of ubuntu maybe older or the 11.04 version
[00:09] <KM0201> sacarlson: thats already an old kernel, why wouldh e want to go older?.
[00:09] <m2mg> dascapital_: open a terminal and type lspci to see if you have a wired or wireless card in your computer
[00:10] <dascapital__> yes
[00:10] <KM0201> dascapital__: does it show your wireless device? if so, what is it
[00:10] <dascapital__> Atheros Communications AR81451 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet
[00:10] <sacarlson> KM0201: dascapital__ ;  true newer might be better and I see history in 2.6.32-22-generic as bad already so I guess  newer,
[00:10] <dascapital__> no wireless device shows up
[00:11] <mungesh> can someone help me out with privoxy?.....can get it to install and run on default ip:port, but after changing to lan netmask and different port, privoxy cannot bind to ip (permission denied)
[00:11] <dascapital__> so should i delete this OS from windows and install another one??
[00:11] <KM0201> dascapital__: the atheros device you posted, i'm pretty sure thats your ethernet jack.
[00:11] <KM0201> dascapital__: try lspci | grep Wireless
[00:11] <dascapital__> KMO0201_: ok so how do i connect via ethernet
[00:12] <m_fulder> erUSUL, I solved my problem .. somehow the files where still hidden on my desktop :S really weird
[00:12] <dascapital__> just returns nothing
[00:12] <iconmefisto> dascapital__: lshw -c network  will show you all network devices, wired and wireless
[00:12] <KM0201> ok
[00:12] <sacarlson> dascapital__: I also noteed that the modprobe you aready did was not the same I suggested just one letter different at the end
[00:12] <joeoshawa> this is dascapitals ifconfig http://pastebin.com/h5sQ6tf1]
[00:13] <joeoshawa> http://pastebin.com/h5sQ6tf1
[00:13] <dascapital__> should it be network controller???
[00:13] <m2mg> dascapital_: hold on lets try one thing type in the terminal ifdown eth0 then type ifup eth0 the first command will shutdown the net card and the second command should bring it back up
[00:13] <jodie_> Purchased a BlueRay RW CD drive and put it in my Ubuntu Box.. Record DVD's fine but BlueRay disks seem to be problem.. Any advice?
[00:13] <KM0201> dascapital__: you could try network controller.. bprobably won't change anything though   "lspci | grep Network"
[00:13] <dascapital__> sacarlson_: oh sorry i never heard you that it was one letter off lol
[00:14] <popey> jodie_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[00:14] <dascapital__> Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4357
[00:15] <sacarlson> dascapital__: wow bad set broadcom has a history of not working out of the box
[00:15] <KM0201> dascapital__: that broadcom, is very likely your wireless devicr
[00:15] <dascapital__> sacarlson_: so should i get a new wireless device? how much will that cost
[00:16] <KM0201> dascapital__: just stop for a second...
[00:16] <dascapital__> KM0201_: ok....
[00:16] <KM0201> dascapital__: do you see anything in system/admin/hardware drivers
[00:16] <dascapital__> KM0201_: nope
[00:16] <joeoshawa> i think his connection is working
[00:16] <sacarlson> dascapital__: I see people getting your ethernet working with a compile at this site http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476231
[00:16] <joeoshawa> by his ifconfig
[00:16] <joeoshawa> i think its probably a router problem
[00:16] <sacarlson> dascapital__: so since they have had it working at this time I would think a newer kernel should work
[00:17] <KM0201> dascapital__: were you the one that could go to some websites, but couldn't go to others?
[00:17] <dascapital__> sacarlson_: so i just type that into terminal and my wifi will show up?
[00:17] <dascapital__> KM0201_: no i cant get onto the internet at all
[00:17] <KM0201> ok
[00:18] <binaryhat> i want to connect to my virtualized o/s on my server using virt-viewer w/o ssh. how do i do it?
[00:18] <sacarlson> dascapital__: I don't know I was just hoping something would pop up
[00:18] <binaryhat> virt-viewer -c qemu://<IP_ADDRESS>:50001/system win_ult7 does not work
[00:18] <joeoshawa> RX packets:131182 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
[00:18] <KM0201> dascapital__: honestly, i would try another ditro.
[00:18] <joeoshawa> he is sending and recieving packets
[00:18] <magicianlord> does anyone kno how to bookmark radio that's playing in vlc 1.06, a station?
[00:18] <joeoshawa> none droped or lost
[00:19] <dascapital__> KM0201_: like a newer model of ubuntu? i heard ubuntu was for beginners so i installed that, whats another easy distro??
[00:19] <joeoshawa> its probably a router setting
[00:19] <joeoshawa> what router you using
[00:19] <jodie_> popey. Thanks.. Not watching movies on the BlueRay.. I need to store large amount of files. I'm only interested in getting the files to disk.
[00:19] <KM0201> dascapital__: do you have access to log in to yoru router?
[00:19] <popey> jodie_: ah, sorry
[00:19] <KM0201> joeoshawa: i still don't think its a router issue
[00:19] <dascapital__> KM0201_: i dont know.. lol
[00:19] <sacarlson> KM0201:  dascapital__: that's not a bad idea and if you really want ubuntu after you find a working desto just use there working kernel to boot ubuntu
[00:19] <xyz> http://distrowatch.com/
[00:20] <dascapital__> sacarlson_: whats not a bad idea?
[00:20] <sacarlson> dascapital__: try another destro to find a working kernel
[00:20] <dascapital__> sacarlson_: any recommendations??
[00:20] <joeoshawa> dascapital__: is there a label on your router
[00:21] <KM0201> dascapital__: do this... go here, and download this ISO  http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Live/i686/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso  burn it to a disk, and boot it in "Live Mode".. and see if you can get an internet connection
[00:21] <pacific> .
[00:22] <sacarlson> dascapital__:  does ethernet work from the live cd boot you installed from?
[00:22] <Sqeazer> Hey guys, i have a bash question...
[00:22] <dascapital__> dascapital_: i installed it from windows to dualboot without using a cd
[00:22] <joeoshawa> shoot
[00:22] <Descriptioned> can i play mw2 under wine?? or counter strike?
[00:22] <Sqeazer> How can you read a file and output it to a variable...
[00:22] <mr_shed> hello
[00:22] <KM0201> dascapital__: oh crap... STOP.. before you do anything with Fedora, make sure you remove ubuntu from Wubi.
[00:22] <Sqeazer> i cant do it.... no matter what i do
[00:22] <sacarlson> dascapital__: oh this is wubi
[00:23] <aeon-ltd> Descriptioned: i think CS is definitely supported, MW2 - not so sure; check the site lists
[00:23]  * KM0201 wishes wubi had never been released
[00:23] <dascapital__> KM0201_: i was going to uninstall/remove linux anyways, but why? and whats Wubi?
[00:23] <joeoshawa> lol that was a question earlier
[00:23] <Descriptioned> aeon-ltd: where i can check that could u give me link?
[00:23] <joeoshawa> dl ubuntu 10.10
[00:23] <joeoshawa> live cd
[00:23] <joeoshawa> burn it on lowest setting
[00:24] <sacarlson> dascapital__: wubi is the method of install from windows I assume that's not where your problem comes from
[00:24] <joeoshawa> after checking md5
[00:24] <Sqeazer> anyone? How to get file content to a variable in bash?
[00:24] <KM0201> dascapital__: wubi is what you used to install ubuntu inside Windows.
[00:24] <mr_shed> I'm looking to install an Open Source CMS, specifically Drupal, but before I do I wanted to be clear on whether or not it would affect my existing LAMP setup (as it obviously will be serving as a local webserver)?
[00:24] <dascapital__> alright...
[00:25] <KM0201> dascapital__: first things first, uninstall wubi... please make sure you do that.. cuz if you try to install ubuntu on top of wubi, you're in for a mess
[00:25] <jodie_> Sqeazer__: SOMETHIING=`cat <filename>`
[00:25] <Sqeazer> jodie_: does not work
[00:25] <Sqeazer> SOMETHING would then be cat file.txt
[00:25] <mr_shed> also, are there any good channels to go seak info on Django, Ruby on Rails, PHP Frameworks etc... I'm a complete stranger to Frameworks and CMSes, but I know my way around php/mysql
[00:25] <xyz> mr_sheds try http://www.turnkeylinux.org/
[00:25] <m2mg> Descriptioned: http://appdb.winehq.org/index.php  http://www.cedega.com//
[00:25] <jhansonxi> Sqeazer, what type of variable?  Bash array?
[00:26] <Pici> mr_shed: Theres #django
[00:26] <Sqeazer> na, just a normal veriable.
[00:26] <Sqeazer> that would hold a string...
[00:26] <dascapital__> KM0201_: so i uninstall ubuntu and wubi? or just ubuntu?
[00:26] <Descriptioned> m2mg: it need to install any extra wine plugi ?
[00:26] <Sqeazer> like VAR="Hello"
[00:26] <biiter> hi. im installing ubuntu right now.. and it is stuck in 'wiping swap space for security'.. progress bar didn;t move in a while.. is this step necessary? can i hardreboot?
[00:26] <KM0201> dascapital__: can i PM you?.. you're gonna make a mess, i can just tell
[00:26] <sacarlson> KM0201: dascapital__ or could wubi that be the problem? In my ralink I had problems when I booted windows and then rebooted to run ubuntu my wifi adapter wouldn't work since the nv rom in the device was loaded from windows,  if I unpluged the device or powered off my system it would work if ubuntu was first to boot
[00:27] <dascapital__> ok
[00:27] <Sqeazer> bitter: it takes some time, just leave it run
[00:27] <KM0201> dascapital__: now are you listening?
[00:27] <jhansonxi> Sqeazer, the backticked command that jodie posted should work.  Alternative form is variable=$(cat filename)
[00:27] <mr_shed> xyz, thanks for the link but, I see a back-up service at that page...?
[00:27] <Vooloo> since installing new kernels my network card stops working randomly for 5-10 seconds, what can I do?
[00:27] <jodie_> Sqeazer__: from prompt do date > junk.txt; JUNK=`cat junk.txt`; export JUNK; set |grep JUNK
[00:27] <mr_shed> Pici, thanks I'll go join there in a mo.
[00:28] <m2mg> Descriptioned: wine is free cedega is not  wine will tell u if it work with your version just search for the name of the game and i thin mw2 is in there
[00:28] <sacarlson> dascapital__: it might be a waist of time but you might try burn a cd of ubuntu and see if it works or try boot from a usb flash disk
[00:28] <biiter> Sqeazer: ok
[00:28] <Pici> Sqeazer: You may want to ask in #bash if we're confusing you here :)
[00:29] <Sqeazer> Nah, i'm folowing you :) Just a sec
[00:29] <le0-> im trying to ssh into my ubuntu server.. and it says connection timed out.. i foward the ports on my router.. but it still seems like my wan ip doesnt have that port open.. i can connect locally
[00:29] <m2mg> Descriptioned: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10600
[00:29] <piercedwater> Does anyone know why when I convert a video in VLC it always outputs a 1MB file that cant be played? I have set all my settings for the video and audio before converting.
[00:30] <NET||abuse> hey guys, i'm running gnome on netbook remix 10.10, tomboy alt+F12 doesn't seem to work,
[00:30] <Sqeazer> weeeeak -.- i was using quotes -.-
[00:30] <NET||abuse> shortcut access to my notes,, i NEEED it!!!
[00:30] <NET||abuse> :P
[00:30] <Sqeazer> 'cat filename' instead of `cat filename`
[00:30] <Sqeazer> k, thanks guys :)
[00:31] <jhansonxi> Sqeazer, that's why I prefer the other form of $()
[00:31] <root___> i have installed proftpd on ubuntu server.  But no mater i do with the configuration i can get anyone to connect
[00:31] <biiter> it's 20 minutes in 23%.. disk is doing nothing... i think it's broken
[00:31] <duke___> hi :) problem here ssh -N -D cindy@cindy-VirtualBox
[00:32] <root___> i have even tried connecting locally
[00:32] <duke___> Bad dynamic forwarding specification 'cindy@cindy-VirtualBox'
[00:32] <duke___> whats up  root?
[00:32] <induz> is there any way Lucid offers a way to restore a state of the system like on Xp restaore point
[00:32] <root___> need help with proftpd
[00:32] <duke___> mh you can pratimage induz
[00:33] <induz> pratimage??
[00:33] <root___> or what ftp package do you all recommend?
[00:33] <duke___> google it
[00:33] <lolcat> root___: filezilla
[00:33] <duke___> whats your prob root?
[00:34] <induz> dule, I had some desktop settings and Panels, some how they all went haywire and i can not figure out how to go back to defaults
[00:34] <sacarlson> root___: did you try ssh?
[00:34] <lolcat> !duke | google
[00:34] <magicianlord> where does ubuntu save temp file that are opened in firefox?
[00:34] <magicianlord> files
[00:34] <root___> i have googled i have came up with proftpd
[00:34] <root___> but i can't get anyone to connect
[00:34] <duke___> google was at induz sry
[00:34] <jhansonxi> root___, check the settings in /etc/default/proftpd and /etc/inetd.conf.  Also check the log in /var/log/daemon.log
[00:34] <duke___> mh i think ftp you use the modzilla plugin what you wanna do?
[00:35] <jhansonxi> root___, also try connecting locally "ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>"
[00:35] <root___> jhansonxi: I have receated /etc/default/proftpd.conf and ran proftpd -td5 without issues.
[00:35] <sacarlson> root___:  did you try sudo apt-get install ssh  to see if you can at least ssh in and posibly use that for file transfer?
[00:36] <root___> jhansonxi: localhost does not work
[00:36] <root___> sacarlson: im on ssh to the box now
[00:36] <root___> it me look at /var/log/daemon.log
[00:36] <sacarlson> root___:  is that not an option then to move files?
[00:37] <root___> sacarlson: oh no, i need to setup ftp in a DMZ.
[00:38] <root___> first time trying to use proftpd
[00:38] <sacarlson> root___: I've played a bit with proftp the config is complicated
[00:38] <jhansonxi> root___, normally proftpd is started on-demand by inetd.
[00:39] <root___> jhansonxi: and it is. that way for me
[00:40] <root___> here is somthing in daemon.log
[00:40] <root___> in.ftpd[3524]: error: cannot execute /usr/sbin/in.ftpd: No such file or directory
[00:41] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[00:41] <Tetracomm> How do I hide all desktop icons in ubuntu?
[00:41] <sacarlson> root___: I think part of the complexity was it also uses apparmor so that may need to be configured also
[00:41] <jhansonxi> root___, in my system /etc/inetd.conf:  ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd
[00:42] <Renski> wow, ksm is pretty awesome
[00:42] <magicianlord> when is vlc 1.0.6 going to be upgraded to 1.1.6 in ubuntu 10.04
[00:43] <Renski> currently saving me 143 mb
[00:43] <root___> sacarlson: you lost me.
[00:43] <duke___> ssh -N -D cindy@cindy-VirtualBox   is syntax wrong?
[00:43] <Pici> magicianlord: It likely wont, unless theres a reason for it to be backported.
[00:43] <root___> jhansonxi: i have to edit my inetd.conf
[00:43] <sacarlson> root___:  check sudo apparmor_status  see if your proftp is in the list
[00:44] <root___> sacarlson: oh thanks i willtry
[00:44] <duke___> it says this will start a socks proxy i have just installed ss and run on server
[00:44] <duke___> no futher configs i did
[00:44] <magicianlord> Pici: it would be good for it to be upgraded to a current version
[00:45] <CoinOp> Newbie here, would appreciate anyones help on a wireless issue should you have the opportunity. http://paste.ubuntu.com/558785/
[00:45] <duke___> i can ping host and hostname known
[00:45] <root___> sacarlson: apparmor_status doesn't show proftpd at all
[00:45] <root___> sacarlson: what should i do?  Or what did i do wrong?
[00:46] <sacarlson> root___: cool then don't have to worry about that
[00:46] <Pici> magicianlord: Well unfortunately that isn't always a good enough reason. :/  You may want to take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports if you'd like to try to push it along yourself.
[00:46] <root___> sacarlson: oh that is good it not being listed?
[00:46] <duke___> :/ mhhhhhhhhhhhh
[00:47] <le0-> does fios block port 22?
[00:47] <jhansonxi> root___, ftp is not in my apparmor_status either but it still works.
[00:47] <dascapital> hey KM0201
[00:47] <sacarlson> root___: well yes it adds more security that would have to be configured,  if it's not setup then nothing to configure
[00:47] <KM0201> dascapital: yes?
[00:47] <dascapital> KM0201_: my power went out lol
[00:48] <joeoshawa> kvirc automatically downloads avitars?
[00:48] <joeoshawa> dunno if i like that
[00:48]  * Loongjiang is away
[00:48] <root___> jhansonxi: how does your ftp line read for inetd.conf
[00:49] <joeoshawa> i don't like my downloading anything without permission
[00:49] <jhansonxi> Exactly as I posted above
[00:49] <sacarlson> root___: I'm on the side of low security so I say that's a good thing
[00:49] <joeoshawa> my computer that is
[00:49] <root___> jhansonxi: you know how to page up in irssi
[00:50] <root___> i have forgotten
[00:50] <root___> :)
[00:50] <jhansonxi> root___, did you install a different FTP server earlier and then replace it with ProFTP?
[00:50] <joeoshawa> what is the best irc client
[00:50] <jhansonxi> root___, inetd.conf:  ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd
[00:50] <root___> jhansonxi: i might have
[00:51] <induz> can evolution offers to have 2 different accounts and different folders
[00:51] <jhansonxi> root___, if you removed but did not "purge" it (different commands) then the setting from the previous one may have been left behind.
[00:51] <joeoshawa> i know its opinion blah blah blah i am asking for opinion what irc client is the best
[00:51] <truthslave> xchat
[00:51] <agentgasmask> Hi. I'm getting a "could not initiatte dbus" error from update-manager. Can someone point me to a fix?
[00:51] <root___> jhansonxi: hmmmmm,   thanks i think you got it
[00:51] <root___> i did do that
[00:51] <dascapital2> KM0201_: uhh, dont know how to pm lol
[00:52] <joeoshawa> xchat you consider better then kvirc then
[00:52] <joeoshawa> i want to remove this one i dont' like random files dling
[00:52] <jhansonxi> root___, based on the log message it looks like inetd is trying to start a different executable.
[00:52] <root___> :)
[00:53] <duke___> ssh -o ProxyCommand="<Pfad>/connect-proxy -H <host P>:p %h %p" -p 443 <user>@<host S>
[00:53] <joeoshawa> and being able to autoauthenticate would be good
[00:53] <CoinOp> Newbie here, would appreciate anyones help on a wireless issue should you have the opportunity. http://paste.ubuntu.com/558785/
[00:53] <joeoshawa> instead of typing the nickserv command
[00:53] <duke___> i can use this but i want for all destinations not to define just one
[00:53] <Sorinan> It's already possible to have a whole system encryption just from the installer?
[00:54] <joeoshawa> that could be a problem tho
[00:54] <dascapital2> KM0201_: yea wubi or whatever it is is definitley off
[00:54] <joeoshawa> if your system ever locks up and you can't find the key
[00:54] <coraxx> n e one with some insides on WMA v8 codec in video files ?
[00:54] <dascapital2> KM0201_: HEY!!
[00:54] <joeoshawa> live cd is useless
[00:55] <truthslave> anyone having problems with dual installs...aka remoe user desktop
[00:55] <root___> jhansonxi: I have replace that line, now how do i get the change to take affect.
[00:55] <m_fulder> is it possible to erase files from a .zip compressed folder using terminal?
[00:55] <root___> how do i restart inetd?
[00:55] <joeoshawa> remote user destop and dual installs are  two different things i think
[00:56] <joeoshawa> remote user destop would be like thin client i believe
[00:56] <truthslave> anyone having problems with dual installs...aka remoe user desktop
[00:56] <KM0201> dascapital2: answer your PM
[00:56] <gpc> truthslave: please explain what the problem is
[00:57] <jhansonxi> root___, I think it takes effect immediately.  Just try to connect locally with an ftp client to <IP_ADDRESS> and if it fails then check the logs again (tail /var/log/daemon.log or /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log)
[00:58] <truthslave> seems i had hosts running as false devices ..includig sata.. and hdmi
[00:58] <Loshki> m_fulder: check out the zip command. It has a 'delete' option (warning: keep a backup copy of the original in case you mess it up...)
[00:58] <root___> jhansonxi: I did just that, daemon.log still show the old executeable
[00:58] <coraxx> WMA v8 codec ....anyone ?
[00:59] <Chelsea> Does anyone here have experience with the stackexchange system from askubuntu?
[00:59] <root___> jhansonxi: but i have changed in the inetd.conf
[00:59] <gpc> Chelsea: #ubuntu-stack
[00:59] <gpc> or is it #ubuntu-x
[00:59] <root___> google tell me that there is /etc/init.d/inetd, but i dont have it
[01:00] <Loshki> coraxx: see if there's something useful here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-901909.html
[01:00] <m_fulder> Loshki, thanks
[01:00] <m_fulder> will check it out
[01:00] <jhansonxi> root___, inetd doesn't have an init script or Upstart job so all I can suggest is to try a reboot.
[01:00] <coraxx> Loshki: thanx...I'll check :-)
[01:01] <Chelsea> hmmm... both ;)
[01:02] <root___> jhansonxi: that has to be a way, no?
[01:02] <sacarlson> root___: I just installed proftp-basic  and was able to ftp localhost  and login to my present user account,  I selected inetd install option at install
[01:02] <jhansonxi> root___, I'm out of ideas but I think the error in the logs is the key.  You could try running it as a daemon instead then start it with "/etc/init.d/proftpd start"
[01:02] <root___> sacarlson: ya, jhansonxi hit it on the head.  I had installed another ftp packge with out purge and now im left with this mess
[01:03] <root___> jhansonxi: i think you fix my problem, Thank you
[01:03] <root___> but i need to know how start inetd with out reboot
[01:03] <Niglop> i restarted my computer and now all the folders/files on my flash stick are locked?
[01:04] <coraxx> Loshki: unfortunately no new info in the link :--( ...I've done all I know how ...with medibuntu ... the installation of the restricted-extras ...still can't hear WMA v8 in Video files.
[01:04] <joeoshawa> want to know what people think this is my desktop i got the login screen the same with a black and red theme for the login box [url=http://www.imagehosting.com/][img]http://piczasso.com/i/ha4ki.png[/img][/url]
[01:04] <sacarlson> root___: ya not sure how to fix that,  I think the problem would be in the inetd config then if you just delete all the lines after a purge of proftp and reinstall maybe that will fix it
[01:04] <bazhang> joeoshawa, not the place to show off desktops
[01:04] <bazhang> joeoshawa, try #ubuntu-offtopic

[01:07] <Niglop> coraxx›
[01:07] <Niglop> i restarted my computer and now all the folders/files on my flash stick are locked?
[01:07] <jhansonxi> root___, you may have to ifdown/ifup or restart networking
[01:07] <joeoshawa> a usb stick is not very usefull if you cannot access it from other computers
[01:08] <coraxx> Niglop: was the flash drive yanked out during the reboot ?
[01:08] <Niglop> nop why
[01:09] <GaryD> Niglop: can you access the files as root?
[01:09] <coraxx> Niglop: just diagnosing ... sometimes its a filesystem problem ...sometimes its a mounting problem ...in your case is proberly a mounting problem.
[01:09] <Niglop> GaryD› yes
[01:09] <agentgasmask> Hi, I'm getting an error in update-manager saying: could not initiate dbus. It works if I run an X session as root and run it. Running it with sudo doesn't work.
[01:09] <CoinOp> Need help with a wireless problem, did all the ticket information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://paste.ubuntu.com/558785/
[01:09] <joeoshawa> is there a permission setting for flash drives
[01:09] <coraxx> Niglop: first take out the flash drive ...make sure you are logged on your ubuntu
[01:09] <jhansonxi> root___, you could change proftpd to daemon mode with "dpkg-reconfigure proftpd-basic".  Reinstall and then purge the other ftp package and then change ProFTP back to inetd.
[01:10] <rez410> im running ubuntu-server 10.10 with a wireless adapter. My power just went out and now my box wont connect to the network. Everything is the same in /etc/networking/interfaces file, and i tried /etc/init.d/networking restart and it still did not connect. All of my other wireless devices have automatically connected back to the network router without a problem. Any ideas?
[01:10] <Niglop> coraxx› i am logged in
[01:10] <coraxx> Niglop: ok then ...take the flash-drive out ...count to 5...an re-insert it.
[01:10] <Niglop> alright
[01:11] <Niglop> wow it worked coraxx  lol
[01:11] <Ikbaltte> hallo
[01:11] <Niglop> what was wrong with it?
[01:11] <coraxx> Niglop: yes...thought so
[01:11] <joeoshawa> rez410: just a quick one unplug the cable from the linux box wait long enough for the server to see its not connected and reconnect it
[01:11] <GaryD> lol
[01:11] <Niglop> thanks
[01:11] <root___> jhansonxi: i think i found it, it was openbsd-inetd
[01:11] <noobuntoo> A newbie question; how do I get the fire anim, I have compiz but no fire anim. thnx
[01:12] <joeoshawa> if that doesn't work to a network restart on the linux box
[01:12] <coraxx> Niglop: (when you flash-drive is in your computer while booting ...and therefore not yet logged in ...the automount daemon mount as the root user....not as the user you usually log in as...therefore the files appears as read-only, as you don't have the same rights as root)
[01:12] <Sorinan> the alternate CD provides also live environment or it's just the installer?
[01:13] <xangua> noobuntoo: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager ; configure plugins with that
[01:13] <xangua> Sorinan: no
[01:13] <noobuntoo> ok thnx
[01:13] <Sorinan> xangua, thanks
[01:13] <mateusz> Hi, I have a question. I have to set JAVA_HOME, I just installed openjdk-6-jre but can't find it, where is java home?
[01:14] <Aginor> mateusz: where the root directory of your jre/jdk installation
[01:14] <Aginor> mateusz: I can't verify it, but have a look in /usr/java
[01:14] <pzn> I need to use 3 pci-express video cards to have 6 intependent monitors. can someone recommend me a card model with "stable"(not buggy) drivers for ubuntu?
[01:14] <Aginor> mateusz: it should be something obvious in /usr
[01:15] <joeoshawa> pzn: go with nvidia
[01:15] <Aginor> pzn: we use nvidia card for our display wall at the university here
[01:15] <Aginor> pzn: although we only have two cards per machine
[01:15] <Aginor> pzn: (driving four monitors over dvi)
[01:16] <mateusz> Aginor, thanks
[01:16] <joeoshawa> i am using a geforce 8400 gs and muti monitors works great
[01:16] <joeoshawa> proprietary drivers
[01:16] <joeoshawa> easy setup
[01:16] <joeoshawa> and configures xorg.conf for you
[01:17] <joeoshawa> just make a backup of the existing one
[01:17] <joeoshawa> any nvidia model should have great linux support i believe
[01:18] <Aginor> mateusz: did you meet success?

[01:27] <vectory> hi, could grepping /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/trace_pipe go wrong?
[01:27] <Vooloo> since installing new kernels my network card stops working randomly for 5-10 seconds, what can I do?
[01:27] <KM0201> itaylor57: i haven't really dealt w/ them... did you order one of their ubuntu systems?
[01:27] <biiter> hmm. there is a bug in bununtu usb stick installator..
[01:28] <pzn> Aginor, gtx465 or 8800gt? I have some cheap 7200GS, will they fit?
[01:28] <biiter> after succesfull installation the usb stick is broken and i can't boot it again
[01:28] <joeoshawa> that is better
[01:29] <joeoshawa> wow the white background
[01:29] <biiter> i gues.. somewhere in the installation the writing is done on usb stick instead of hdd
[01:29] <itaylor57> KM0201:  They have a utility to capture logs in a tar file and responded back within 15 minutes
[01:29] <Aginor> pzn: I don't know :) in our case it was more a question of what was available at the time which didn't require us to have differnt software on one of the machines and could also drive dvi-only
[01:30] <KM0201> itaylor57: well, pretty cool
[01:30] <vectory> why would find without rootpriviliges try to -exec a file i dont own?
[01:30] <pzn> Aginor, anyway... if I get a model from nvidia (not a state-of-art model), chances of the driver working correctly will be big?
[01:31] <itaylor57> KM0201: mind if I pm you I don't want to be ot here

[01:33] <vectory> good question pzn, wanna know too
[01:33] <Aginor> pzn: as in, position in the desktop provided by X? it's handled by the window manager so find a suitable window manager
[01:33] <carl0s-> I removed most of /etc/ldap, which broke slapd (open-ldap). Now I cannot do anything with apt-get, because I tried to purge slapd, but the prerm script is failing, which meant I can't do anything with packages. How can I fix this ?
[01:34] <joeoshawa> pzn open it in the window you wish it to be in
[01:34] <Aginor> pzn: depending on your setup you can have an X server per monitor, one spanning several monitors or a combination
[01:34] <carl0s-> Every time I try to do anything with apt-get, it tries to sort of slapd which fails at: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[01:34] <pzn> joeoshawa, my system won't have users... that will be an auto-login and auto start of 6 totem players in full-screen, one in each monitor. how?
[01:34] <Zwei> I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu, 10.10, after an update, it boots straight into terminal mode (sorry, not been using linux for long, not sure what's the proper terminology for this). How do I fix this?
[01:35] <Jordan_U> pzn: You can find the proper value for $DISPLAY by running "echo $DISPLAY" in a terminal in the X session in question.
[01:35] <pzn> Jordan_U, nice! I'll try it
[01:35] <Aginor> Jordan_U: that'll only make a difference if he's running multiple X-servers though
[01:35] <amosk> Zwei, init 5
[01:36] <Fuco> what PDF viewer would you recommend?
[01:36] <Zwei> amosk: init 5?
[01:36] <joeoshawa> ahh that is a different story so to be clear one machine 6 seats 6 desktops
[01:36] <Fuco> I used to use Foxit on windows, but linux only has v1.1 which is quite ancient
[01:36] <joeoshawa> virtual machine?
[01:36] <pzn> Jordan_U, in my notebook (LCD + external monitor), display is :0.0 in both
[01:36] <rww> Fuco: the one that comes with Ubuntu is fine :\
[01:36] <Jordan_U> Aginor: True. I may have misunderstood the question.
[01:36] <pzn> Jordan_U, I opened gnome-terminal in both screens and echo $DISPLAY
[01:36] <joeoshawa> i would just have all separate desktops open one instance for each
[01:36] <Fuco> rww: no, not relly :P
[01:36] <biiter> hi.. any fix how to force ubuntu to install MBR to the correct hdd ???
[01:37] <rww> Fuco: Works for me. If you're not going to give any actual specifications, that's the best you're going to get :P
[01:37] <Zwei> amosk: what do you mean by "init 5"?
[01:37] <Aginor> pzn: kde's window manager can do it, but there should be several other window managers that support it as well. Google around ;)
[01:37] <joeoshawa> not really my territory to tell you the truth
[01:37] <joeoshawa> complicated
[01:38] <vectory> xinerama for dual monitors
[01:38] <vectory> ?
[01:38] <pzn> is there any C programming API where I could send commands like this x=findwindow(...); movewindow(x,screennumber,xcoord,ycoord); maximizewindow(x) ?
[01:38] <Fuco> rww: well I want something like foxit obviously ;D
[01:38] <CoinOp> Any help with wireless would be awesome. http://paste.ubuntu.com/558785/

[01:38] <ereotav> i just installed 10.10 on my comp..i have two hdds..i put it on sda (c:\) but my sdb (d:\) seems "split" in half.. any ideas
[01:39] <joeoshawa> vectory depends on what you want
[01:39] <Aginor> pzn: you would in effect be writing your own window manager if you do it on that level though
[01:39] <Aginor> pzn: http://incise.org/tinywm.html
[01:39] <Zwei> Can someone tell me what does amosk means by "init 5"?
[01:39] <joeoshawa> i have separate desktops cause one screen is a 20 inch lg the other is a 47 inch sony projection
[01:39] <bazhang> !runlevels
[01:39] <bazhang> Zwei, ^
[01:39] <joeoshawa> so spanning both is unusable
[01:40] <joeoshawa> but for two identical monitors xinerama may be for you but compiz is then out of the question some say
[01:41] <joeoshawa> or you could go twinview
[01:41] <joeoshawa> if its one card
[01:41] <Zwei> bazhang: I don't understand that. What does it mean by runlevels?
[01:41] <Zwei> Sorry, I've not used to linux.
[01:41] <Aginor> anyway, teatime for me
[01:41] <pzn> Aginor, really nice URL! I don't intent to write a window manager. just intend to write a program that will exec 6xmplayer and put each of them in the right window maximized. anyway, tyniwm sources will help a lot!
[01:42] <Noeltorious> so im having an odd issue, i type in dvorak and my fiance types in qwerty, if she starts chromium with qwerty set and tries to set up a card on walmart.com it will only type in dvorak. any thoughts?
[01:43] <Zwei> I think I'm going to re-install Ubuntu then...
[01:43] <joeoshawa> noeltorious you need the keyboard icon on the top taskbar
[01:43] <joeoshawa> to switch between
[01:43] <Noeltorious> joeoshawa: its up there, thats how she switches (i just use alt-shift
[01:44] <joeoshawa> oh so everything switches but firefox
[01:44] <joeoshawa> sorry chromium
[01:44] <joeoshawa> hrmm
[01:44] <itaylor57> Zwei: runlevel on unix show the state of the system see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Ubuntu
[01:45] <rumpe1> Noeltorious, does it work in different browsers?
[01:45] <Noeltorious> joeoshawa: chromium switches fine and she can go to sites and search and stuff in qwerty but when she tries to design a card on walmarts site (flash?) its locked on dvorak regardless of system setting
[01:45] <itaylor57> Zwei: show/sets
[01:45] <Noeltorious> rumpe1: hmm i'll try
[01:46] <biiter> what release name is ubuntu 10.10 ?
[01:46] <rww> biiter: the development codename for Ubuntu 10.10 was maverick.
[01:46] <maco> biiter: maverick meerkat

[01:49] <aeon-ltd> !anyone | snypzz
[01:49] <Noeltorious> rumpe1: ah ha, on the same flash object in firefox it not only detects her qwerty but i can switch between the two layouts w/o issue. so must be something with chromium?
[01:49] <joeoshawa> using separate displays the mouse moves between windows do not
[01:49] <snypzz> I need help that's why I'm here...
[01:50] <bazhang> snypzz, provide some details then
[01:50] <joeoshawa> i have used all manner of muti head displays
[01:50] <CoinOp> edwardteach: it doesnt detect a network, either option. I don't know if its a driver issue or what, so I listed every possible terminal list i could in case someone could tell me.
[01:50] <vectory> Noeltorious: theres a panel widget to change keyboard layout which gets saved on a per app basis
[01:50] <kolo> elo
[01:50] <Noeltorious> rumpe1: i'll use ff, thanks, forget i had it (i usually uninstall that) wonder how i can go about reporting this as a bug
[01:51] <rumpe1> Noeltorious, maybe its stored for some reason in a cookie... really don't know... perhaps you can move the chromium-settings (.chromium?) and try the same with a default-config...
[01:51] <snypzz> ok just installed 2 USB Graphics adapters Displaylink DL165 chipset
[01:51] <Noeltorious> vectory: im aware ive been using this for a long time, thanks though

[01:55] <torsion> Tried pulling video files off a DVD (to mp4 files) with Handbrake software and default settings, but the result was grainy. Any ideas?
[01:55] <torsion> Sorry I'm a video n00b
[01:55] <bazhang> torsion, try ogmrip instead
[01:55] <bazhang> torsion, many nice presets to do exactly what you wish
[01:56] <Noeltorious> itaylor57: my flash is <IP_ADDRESS> i use chromium stable lol i think the real issue is my pc though
[01:56] <Descriptioned> anyone can help me about wop world of padman ? i downloaded the unified .zip file it says linux/ windows but i see .exe isntaller into it
[01:56] <mrBear> Ok I have a big problem. I dual boot to windows and ubuntu (I have two separate ubuntu installations). I was in windows and deleted a volume/partition or something. (I was trying to get rid of one of the Ubuntu installations). Now I can't boot (grub error) and I can't boot ubuntu from usb (error: can not mount /dev/loop0 ...)
[01:57] <edwardteach> CoinOp, sorry no scans  my bad !
[01:57] <joeoshawa> torsion did you try dvd rip i am a bit of a noob at it myself
[01:57] <joeoshawa> i can author and such just haven't pulled them off dvd's really
[01:58] <itaylor57> Noeltorious: I use chromium stable and I use the standard flash that came with the resitricte drivers
[01:58] <torsion> joeoshawa only s/w I tried so far was handbrake. Will try ogmrip now or dvdrip now; so I rip the video to mp4 files, then dvdauthor/style to make new iso?
[01:59] <ZykoticK9> Descriptioned, just an FYI, but WoP is on PlayDeb http://www.playdeb.net/
[01:59] <joeoshawa> yeah well i go and make new menus and such but you'll have to read the online tutorials its a bit much to go into here
[01:59] <Noeltorious> itaylor57: still no full screen is sucky i need my hulu fix lol
[01:59] <joeoshawa> but yes
[01:59] <sacarlson> mrBear: does that usb flash device boot on another system ok?
[01:59] <joeoshawa> but you rip them into whatever file you wish to use
[02:00] <Descriptioned> ZykoticK9: i need install playdeb or?
[02:00] <bazhang> torsion, with ogmrip you can simply copy, rip to various formats, the list is quite long.  I'd suggest you go with --install-recommends if you choose to install it
[02:00] <mrBear> scarlson it has before
[02:00] <joeoshawa> another format may give you a much better image
[02:00] <itaylor57> Noeltorious: utube is available via html5
[02:00] <sacarlson> mrBear: has it ever booted on this system?
[02:00] <mrBear> yes
[02:01] <ZykoticK9> Descriptioned, ya, you need to add it as some weird quasi-repo -- see the "Click here to learn how to install games from PlayDeb" at the top of pages to learn how.
[02:01] <Descriptioned> ZykoticK9: i downloaded the win/linux ver from here http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news
[02:01] <kai__> /j #omg!ubuntu!
[02:01] <Taste> so.... last night i was prompted with an updat, so i updated, but after i updated, my sound no longer works.... anyone know whats with that?
[02:01] <Descriptioned> but it's zip file and dont have game.sh or game.run just .exe files.
[02:01] <ZykoticK9> Descriptioned, sorry I don't play WoP - i had once, i install from PlayDeb a long time ago.
[02:01] <sacarlson> mrBear: well is there any other options to boot like cdrom?  do you have one?  can you burn one?
[02:01] <Descriptioned> i did installed ti though install.sh
[02:01] <Descriptioned> :P
[02:01] <major_> ive got several "yes" process running hogging 100% cpu ... I kill them but they keep spawning from time to time. Is there a way to know where are they coming from? (parent pid is init :S)
[02:01] <Descriptioned> before..
[02:02] <joeoshawa> if youtube fullscreen is a problem bring up the video pause it and when the red line gets all the way to then end browse file system and go to /tmp take the flash file and copy it to desktop
[02:02] <mrBear> sacarlson good idea i'll give that a try right now
[02:02] <joeoshawa> then you have it forever rename it and move it whereever you wish
[02:02] <microm> wine is giving me wine 'cannot find L"D:\\Installer.exe"' and I can't find a solution on google...
[02:02] <torsion> joeoshawa, can you recommend a better format?
[02:04] <ubu_ply> Can anyone tell me why my laptop doesn't use the speakers when I tell it to use "Analog Output"?
[02:04] <maco> ubu_ply: headphones are plugged in?
[02:04] <Zwei> itaylor57: thank you.
[02:04] <maco> ubu_ply: or you found a driver bug
[02:05] <ubu_ply> If they are, then it uses the headphones, when the headphones are not plugged it, it doesn't automatically switch to speakers
[02:05] <ubu_ply> *plugged in
[02:05] <itaylor57> Zwei: np good hunting
[02:06] <xiackok> hey i have fresh installed ubuntu 10.10
[02:06] <joeoshawa> looks as though mp4
[02:06] <joeoshawa> mpeg4
[02:06] <Zwei> itaylor57: what do you mean by show/sets ?
[02:07] <xiackok> i have an packard bell lm98 notebook when i connect to internet via ethernet cable there isnt any problem
[02:07] <xiackok> but when i try connect via wireless, the speed is very slow

[02:08] <Vooloo> since installing new kernels my network card stops working randomly for 5-10 seconds, what can I do?
[02:08] <joeoshawa> ubu_ply: i have the same problem i ended up buying speakers with a headphone jack to do the same thing my headset port doesn't work at all in linux
[02:09] <ubu_ply> No, but my laptop has built-in speakers, and Maverick doesn't use them when I unplug my headphones
[02:09] <joeoshawa> linux sound is a disaster unfortunately but it is being worked on
[02:09] <itaylor57> ubu_ply: you have to set speakers vs headphones via the audio preferences
[02:10] <mrBear> sacarlson it didn't work either from cd
[02:11] <puting_> 안녕하세요
[02:11] <ubu_ply> For output in the sound prefs I have two options "Analog Speakers" and "Analog Output" Analog Speakers uses the speakers, but Analog Output uses the headphones, it should automatically switch from headphones to speakers when there's nohting plugged into the headphone jack
[02:11] <puting_> hi
[02:11] <Taste> Well i dont even know why i ask anymore.... been asking all day but last night i downlaoded an update i was prompted to download, and after i did that my sound doesnt work anymore....
[02:11] <ubu_ply> But it doesn't
[02:11] <bazhang> !ko | puting_
[02:11] <itaylor57> ubu_ply: not it is not automatic
[02:11] <joeoshawa> ubu_ply: not to rtfm but unfortunately this is the best answer i got for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[02:12] <Zwei> itaylor57: I just read that Ubuntu doesn't use runlevel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1381905

[02:12] <xangua> !!doesntwork | Taste
[02:12] <Zwei> How will runlevel work?
[02:12] <Zwei> should I restart, then just type runlevel?
[02:12] <joeoshawa> actually there is an autodetect feature but like i said linux sound is a mess
[02:12] <itaylor57> Zwei: yes it does
[02:13] <Zwei> itaylor57: thanks, I'll restart now. I'm currently running off the live CD.
[02:13] <joeoshawa> init 6 =runlevel 6 restart your computer from command line
[02:15] <itaylor57> ubu_ply: you have to manually change the audio prefs if you remove your headphones to send sound to your speakers

[02:16] <torsion> bazhang no I just did sudo apt-get install. n00b. How do I do it your way?
[02:16] <ubu_ply> itaylor57, turns out, if you select speakers, it'll route to headphones it they're plugged in
[02:16] <itaylor57> ubu_ply: could be a bug
[02:16] <bazhang> torsion, sudo apt-get install packagename --install-recommends

[02:20] <bazhang> torsion, an issue with the css it seems (libdvdread)
[02:21] <maco> Descriptioned: it was removed from the menu in 10.10 you can get there through software center's settings
[02:21] <ZykoticK9> Descriptioned, i'm on 10.04LTS so I can't tell you exactly where Software Sources is in U.S.C. but I know it's in there somewhere
[02:21] <torsion> bazhang, I did apt-get install libdvdread4 and it's there
[02:21] <bazhang> torsion, and libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org ?
[02:21] <Descriptioned> maco:  how?
[02:21] <ZykoticK9> torsion, after install libdvdread4 did you run the required script?
[02:22] <chovynz> how do I run programs on startup?
[02:22] <bazhang> chovynz, put them in startup applications
[02:22] <chovynz> in command line sorry for nto saying first off.
[02:22] <maco> Descriptioned: wherever you configure updates in there
[02:22] <ZykoticK9> chovynz, for programs to start at login System / Perferences / Startup Applications
[02:22] <chovynz> *not
[02:23] <maco> chovynz: system -> prefrences -> session
[02:23] <Descriptioned> they sucks on 10.10 version hope will change that..
[02:23] <torsion> zykotick9, required script?  What's that?  (n00b alert!)
[02:23] <maco> ZykoticK9: it got renamed?
[02:23] <ZykoticK9> maco, sorry - my bad.

[02:23] <chovynz> bazhang, ZykoticK9, maco : How do I do teh same for command line startup?
[02:23] <torsion> Tried ogmrip with "just copy" setting, made big .mkv file; looks better, but still a bit grainy?

[02:26] <JuJuBee> Any suggestions on what to do about these messages after upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10? http://pastie.org/1501142
[02:26] <ZykoticK9> maco, oh was that a question?  In 10.04 i have System / Preferences / Startup Applications -- not sure if it's different in 10.10 (don't remember)
[02:26] <Descriptioned> ZykoticK9: it is..
[02:26] <maco> ZykoticK9: it used to be Sessions and then there was a "Startup" tab
[02:26] <jrib> smallfoot-: ..., fish, tcsh, probably even more.  I like zsh...
[02:26] <maco> ZykoticK9: but i havent used gnome since 8.04
[02:26] <gpc> ZykoticK9: same in 10.10
[02:26] <sacarlson> chovynz: there are many whys my method is us crontab -e   with a line @reboot  /home/user/yourprogramtorun

[02:27] <ZykoticK9> maco, ya - you'r a big KDE use i know ;)
[02:27] <ZykoticK9> s/use/user
[02:27] <chovynz> sacarlson: Ah... I want the programsto run before user login.
[02:27] <maco> ZykoticK9:  it got de-uglied!
[02:27] <sacarlson> chovynz: that's what this does
[02:27] <ZykoticK9> maco, "de-uglied" great word :)
[02:28] <chovynz> sacarlson: So when it says /home/<user> a <user> doesn't actually have to log in first?
[02:28] <sacarlson> chovynz: as noted by the @reboot  it will run the program when the sytem boots
[02:29] <chovynz> sacarlson: Am I putting a variable (<user>) where there is none?
[02:29] <sacarlson> chovynz: no it doesn't but it does have to exist
[02:29] <jrib> chovynz: maybe if you have encrypted homes...
[02:29] <chovynz> sacarlson: oh ok. thanks. You too jrib.

[02:37] <ZenGuy> If I use ubuntu 64bit, does that mean all the software avialable in the repos are also 64bit?
[02:37] <jrib> ZenGuy: mostly, yes
[02:38] <bazhang> jetsaredim, normally alt f2 metacity --replace will do
[02:38] <sacarlson> chovynz: yup, if you need to do sudo stuf then you might want to login or sudo -s to modify the root account crontab
[02:38] <ZenGuy> jrib: mostly? so it's a mix of 32bit and 64bit in the repos then?
[02:39] <jrib> ZenGuy: no, there are a handful of things that are 32bit (I can think of flash and the ia32-* stuff I guess is too)
[02:39] <chovynz> sacarlson: I'm modifying something on my server. Is this the better way to do it?
[02:39] <gpc> ZenAdm1n: the few apps that aren't 64bit will use ia32libs to make them work
[02:39] <chovynz> sacarlson: I guess I should just try it :)
[02:39] <ZenGuy> jrib: besides accessing more ram, what are the end user benifits to using 64 bit?
[02:39] <ZykoticK9> jrib, ZenAdm1n flash is the only example I can think of that is 32bit on 64bit systems (from default repo)
[02:39] <gpm> hi all. chrome won't stop asking if i would like to make it the default browser. i've said yes in gnome-default-application-properties and with update-alternatives...any clues as to how to make chrome know it's the system default?
[02:40] <ZenGuy> I was going to wait another year and a half before I decided to switch to 64bit completely
[02:40] <DrGrov> What is this thing with Ubuntu 10.04 and Plymouth? I am trying to get a new theme but I am extremely lost on how to install it
[02:40] <jrib> ZenGuy: there's a speed increase for "certain things", check out the wikipedia article, it's likely to be less vague than me :)
[02:40] <sacarlson> chovynz: well what every your server user runs under the one that runs the program to modify any files in it must be at least in the group of the servers user
[02:40] <jrib> ZenGuy: I've been using 64bit for years, no problems
[02:40] <ZenGuy> jrib: ok
[02:41] <chovynz> sacarlson: I got lost on server user :) I'm going to try what you said and see what happens.
[02:41] <ZykoticK9> DrGrov, what theme?  The Ubuntu Earth Sunrise comes as a DEB and is pretty awesome http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/earth-sunrise-is-gorgeous-plymouth.html

[02:41] <xangua> hunterkasy: that would be #ubuntuforums
[02:42] <ZykoticK9> DrGrov, just double click the deb or install it from command line

[02:44] <ZykoticK9> DrGrov, see http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html
[02:44] <DrGrov> rww: Ok. So I need to continue with OpenOffice until Ubuntu gets into 11.04
[02:44] <Quantum_Ion> DrGrov, Yeah I wil lstick with 10.04 until 12.04 LTS
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> DrGrov, i use the LibreOffice PPA right now on 10.04
[02:45] <owner> Can someone please help? I have an issue with a newly installed laptop: It seems that the X server is completely messed up. I have an ATI Radeon 1200 graphics card
[02:45] <DrGrov> ZykoticK9: Nah, that is too painful to change the plymouth theme
[02:45] <jastiv> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:45] <sacarlson> jastiv: how did you do that?  did you modify /etc/apt/source.list  or something?
[02:45] <owner> Do I need to install some proprietary driver?
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> DrGrov, then just leave it then???
[02:46] <jastiv> I don't know how I did it
[02:46] <owner> I can only log in in recovery mode
[02:46] <DrGrov> ZykoticK9: Yes, I will leave it
[02:46] <jastiv> I do know I tried to install imlib
[02:46] <chovynz> does command line search search for <input> or does it do something else?
[02:46] <Igoru> how can i remove a PAN between my notebook and my desktop that was added to network-manager when i paired both computers?
[02:46] <jastiv> from source
[02:46] <DrGrov> I do not have the time to fix around if it starts to get wrong
[02:46] <owner> Anybody has an idea what is going on?
[02:46] <DrGrov> Have too much study related stuff going on so I do need the computer up to date :)
[02:46] <owner> The keyboard also makes a tak tak tak sound with every key stroke
[02:47] <owner> it is extremely annoying
[02:47] <DrGrov> Anything I could use as more eyecandy for GNOME on Ubuntu 10.04?
[02:47] <chovynz> How can I find a program that I'm trying to run, via the command line? e.g. mediatombe, would I type search mediatomb?
[02:47] <DrGrov> I have compiz working as I want but is there something else to work with?
[02:47] <pzn> which app can I use to play a flash(swf) file from command line?
[02:47] <jastiv> now everytime I try to install a package I get this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:47] <ZykoticK9> chovynz, "apt-cache search foo"
[02:47] <owner> Can someone please help?
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> DrGrov:  you could toss in some conky scripts/displays for more cruft to look at. :)
[02:47] <jastiv> but it doesnt' correct the problem
[02:47] <bazhang> which mediatomb chovynz
[02:47] <jrib> jastiv: try what it says and pastebin the result (and what you ran)
[02:47] <chovynz> ZykoticK9: doesn't that search teh web?
[02:48] <bazhang> chovynz, that searchs the package list
[02:48] <ZykoticK9> chovynz, oh sorry i thought you meant "search to install something" my bad
[02:48] <sacarlson> jastiv: so did you try follow the instructions sudo dpkg --configure -a?
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> owner:  clarify the issue on one single line. also sate the video card you are using. Your issue is a bit hard to follow when you spread it out.
[02:48] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: Hello. Perhaps yes, Conky though was giving me a hard time last I used it on my old hardware. Did not go as planned so it ended with me removing conky :D
[02:48] <ZykoticK9> chovynz, "which foo" to find a path for an executable
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> DrGrov:  you can spend weeks playing with conky configs.
[02:48] <owner> Dr_Willis: How do I find what graphics card I have?
[02:49] <chovynz> bazhang: yeah, that's what I thought. how do I search on my computer for the location of the program? So, ZykoticK9 I would say in terminal "which mediatomb" ?
[02:49] <bazhang> owner, lspci in terminal
[02:49] <ZykoticK9> owner, "lspci | grep -i vga"
[02:49] <bazhang> chovynz, yes
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> owner:  lspci for starters.  check stickers on the pc perhaps.
[02:49] <chovynz> weird. Why "which"? that doesnt make any sense that I know of yet.
[02:49] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: Yes, that was my issue actually... I have a disorder that I need to use eyecandy. Customizing my mobile phone, desktop wallpapers at least 3-4 per day etc etc.
[02:49] <vectory_> chovynz: whereis
[02:49] <Kuwanger> I'm having an odd problem with fonts.  Specifically, I have a font that seems to work fine when passed to xterm through .icemw's toolbar/menu but fails to work if I try to pass it through either icewm's runbar or a terminal.
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> DrGrov:  i suggest getting over it... :)
[02:50] <ZykoticK9> chovynz, if you have more then one binary with the same name - it will point you to the one that will actually be running
[02:50] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: But I would love something easy to get so I can perhaps finally settle down with the customizations.
[02:50] <jastiv> http://paste.ubuntu.com/558818/
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> DrGrov:  theres a web artical or 2 out i saw last week on '5 great conky setups'
[02:50] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: Trust me on that, I have tried but the dark side is pulling me back in LOL
[02:50] <vectory_> chovynz: the prog u look for might need to be in the searchpath tho
[02:50] <chovynz> ZykoticK9: Ahhhh, that makes sense. Thanks vectory_
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> DrGrov:  i think i bookmarked it on my delicious.com/dr_willis page.
[02:50] <owner> I know now what graphics card I have: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]
[02:51] <vectory_> ur fucked
[02:51] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: I am checking now
[02:51] <vectory_> ati drivers for linux are bad
[02:51] <owner> Why is my X server so messed up?
[02:51] <bazhang> vectory_, watch the language
[02:51] <DrGrov> Now I gotta ask
[02:51] <owner> vectory: et decent ATI drivers then?
[02:52] <DrGrov> Ah bazhang, the sheriff remarking the language. I almost though that would slide since my swearing never slided through LOL
[02:52] <vectory_> soz, dunno but people keep tellin me that
[02:52] <owner> How do I find decent ATI drivers? Anybody has had similar issues?
[02:52] <vectory_> so, i just quoted ;)
[02:52] <chovynz> oh blast. I activated mediatomb by accident. I'm guessing that /usr/bin/mediatomb would be what I need to "run" in crontab? sacarlson
[02:52] <bazhang> owner, alt f2 jockey-gtk
[02:52] <sacarlson> owner: I would think at worst case you could run in vga mode some how
[02:52] <owner> I just found out that the "tak tak" sound is from the keyboard being in insert mode
[02:52] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: The problem I have is that it is a bit difficult for me to know if my CPU will give out the information.
[02:53] <owner> The strange thing is that the resolution seems absolutely normal in recovery mode
[02:53] <coz_> owner,   ah yes... a nice  relief when that is figured out :)
[02:53] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: I am not sure, temperature definitely not. It is a HP xw9300 Workstation.
[02:53] <b0ot> Currently I'm dual booting ubuntu 10.10 (recently upgraded from 9.10) and now I'm out of space... how do I resize my partitions to make my windows one smaller and my ubuntu one bigger SAFELY
[02:53] <owner> but I can't log in in normal mode
[02:53] <jastiv> I broke dpkg!!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/558818/
[02:54] <owner> I just updated everything, hoping to have the problem disappear. It didn't work
[02:54] <sacarlson> chovynz: yes you would add a crontab line with: @reboot /usr/bin/mediatomb  but what is mediatomb?  is it an x application?
[02:55] <yeats> jastiv: do 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[02:55] <owner> Anyone knows how I can install decent ATI driverS?
[02:55] <jastiv> I tried that, it gave me another error.
[02:55] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: I love that you linked to those Conky scripts :)
[02:55] <chovynz> sacarlson: not a x app. It's a web media server app for my private server
[02:55] <yeats> jastiv: in your paste, you're leaving off 'sudo'
[02:55] <jastiv> Cannot find /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>-libre-fshoppe1
[02:55] <coz_> owner,     For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver.
[02:55] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: The problem is still there. I am not sure I can use any of those since I really do not know how to customize them more to my liking
[02:56] <tony_ubuntu> Does anyone know how I can save my current setup including fonts as a theme?
[02:56] <owner> the default driver on my system seems to be working properly in recovery mode, but fails to run properly in normal mode
[02:56] <yeats> jastiv: oh I see now - you did at the end
[02:56] <jastiv> I did sudo, its still the same :(
[02:56] <owner> coz_ : My graphics card is ATI Radeon 1200 series
[02:56] <sacarlson> chovynz: if it opens listen ports in low numbers like bellow 1024 I think it would require sudo to run
[02:56] <owner> do you think that driver would work for me too?
[02:57] <yeats> jastiv: now do 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[02:57] <DrGrov> Dr_Willis: Anything else you can suggest for eyecandy? :)
[02:57] <coz_> owner,   then I am not sure... you may want to go to the #radeon   channel
[02:57] <chovynz> sacarlson: opens port 49152. does that by default. I'll I need to do is run it in the background (i think, that's what I'm testing anyway...)
[02:57] <biiter> how do i create bootable usb installer from hd-media/boot.img.gz ?
[02:57] <owner> No help there. First place I went to
[02:58] <owner> They suggested I come here
[02:58] <jastiv> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:58] <gunndawg> hey I am trying to modify nslookup's functionality by adding "Enter a URL" in front of it so its not just a blank cursor waiting for input
[02:58] <jastiv> I did it and got this same thing
[02:58] <gunndawg> I put echo "please enter URL" >> nslookup; but that does not work
[02:58] <sacarlson> chovynz: then I don't think sudo is needed it should run under your normal user that has internet access
[02:59] <chovynz> sacarlson: Now, I have a question RE: crontab. Why is it trying to save the crontab file to /tmp/crontab.jLcQyb/crontab? (I'm logged in remotely)
[02:59] <ZykoticK9> gunndawg, your echo command says to append that output to a file called nslookup - doubt that's what you want.
[02:59] <k-milogars> help
[02:59] <k-milogars> Ubuntu I do not read the cd / dvd
[02:59] <sacarlson> chovynz: I think it first tests the file syntax then if it's ok it puts the crontab into action
[02:59] <gunndawg> Zykotick9 doh! guess I need to learn shell syntax better, lol
[03:00] <gunndawg> zykotick9, any way to do what I am trying to do then ?
[03:00] <rumpe1> gunndawg, use "read"
[03:00] <chovynz> sacarlson: will that crontab exists after I reboot? Guess it's a good time to try it :)
[03:00] <gunndawg> rumpel, example please
[03:00] <ZykoticK9> gunndawg, perhaps "echo "Please enter a URL" && nslookup" would work (untested)
[03:00] <owner> Anybody can help with a messed up xorg for an AMD with ATI x1200 graphics card?
[03:01] <sacarlson> chovynz: if you used crontab -e to edit it and it checks ok at save then yet it is saved,  will it run is another story
[03:01] <coz_> owner,   did you try the #radeon  channel :)
[03:01] <yeats> jastiv: what is "libre-fshoppe1"? do you know?  and what was apt/dpkg doing when it was interrupted?
[03:01] <owner> coz_ : yes, they recommended I come here
[03:02] <coz_> owner,  oh  :)
[03:02] <gunndawg> rumpel, any suggestion ?
[03:02] <xyz_> woot.
[03:02] <sacarlson> chovynz: you sure the problem didn't already auto start at boot?  you should have checked /etc/init.d to see if any media*  existed already
[03:02] <jastiv> I think I broke it then did not realise it was broke till I tried to install something else
[03:03] <jastiv> So I'm not sure what did it exactly
[03:03] <ZykoticK9> gunndawg, i just tried it, i believe it's what you're looking for: echo "Please enter a URL" && nslookup
[03:03] <sacarlson> chovynz: sorry not problem program
[03:03] <rumpe1> gunndawg, http://linux.die.net/man/1/read
[03:03] <BrzlnB0y> connect irc.quakenet.com
[03:03] <chovynz> sacarlson: Yesterday I got mediatomb running manually. Today I acciendtly shut off the server and media tomb was not active. So I figure that it would be best to make it run auto, incase teh server ever needs to reboot
[03:03] <gunndawg> zykotick9 but it puts the users input on a 2nd line,
[03:03] <biiter> wtf.. module loop not found...
[03:04] <yeats> jastiv: you can probably do 'tail /var/log/dpkg.log' to see what the last few packages were
[03:04] <sacarlson> chovynz: ok
[03:04] <owner> I guess ubuntu is not ready for some laptops
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> gunndawg, ya, i think you'd need to re-write nslookup if you wanted something different.  Best of luck man.
[03:04] <owner> So much for "switch to Linux, it's better than Windows"
[03:04] <gunndawg> Zykotick9 I dont think you fully understand what I am after, but thanks for the help!
[03:04] <chovynz> haha. it didn't run
[03:05] <ZykoticK9> owner, "switch to linux, it's better... so long as you don't have ATI" more like it ;)
[03:05] <sacarlson> chovynz: bummer
[03:06] <sacarlson> chovynz: and you can run it with the same command line you put in crontab?
[03:06] <chovynz> Mmm. I'm out of time. I'll have to come back to this at a later stage. Thanks for your help sacarlson ZykoticK9 bazhang
[03:07] <ZykoticK9> sacarlson, just want to point out that just because a script/command runs successfully from command line does NOT guarantee it will run successfully from crontab - BUT if it doesn't run from command line it won't run from crontab :)
[03:09] <sacarlson> chovynz: it could be it tries to do something to soon at boot or something totaly different,  might need to make a script that adds a sleep 30  or some time for system to be stable,  yes true ZykoticK9
[03:10] <christo_m> xubuntu keeps reloading things i had open before
[03:10] <christo_m> how can i stop saving state
[03:11] <ZykoticK9> christo_m, IF you don't get an answer here, you might want to ask in the #xubuntu channel.  Good luck - i don't use xubuntu myself.
[03:12] <christo_m> ZykoticK9: thanks bro
[03:12] <mbvpixies78> When I type in my FQDN for my Ubuntu server, I get "It works!" but when I append "/index.html" I get the actual index page I set up.  What am I missing here?
[03:12] <jethrot> how can i set up my monitor on the thinkpad with a newly installed version of ubuntu, it's an x301
[03:13] <christo_m> jethrot: you mean dual, or switch
[03:13] <christo_m> Fn + F7 will do it
[03:13] <danub> does ubuntu not have metasploit in its repos?
[03:13] <jastiv> http://paste.ubuntu.com/558830/
[03:13] <DrGrov> Is emulator ROM's free these days for most of the consoles?
[03:13] <jethrot> laptop
[03:14] <jethrot> it only does 800x6000
[03:14] <christo_m> DrGrov: technically yes
[03:14] <jethrot> er 600
[03:14] <drakeman> hey guys, ubuntu 10.10 is better than previous version?
[03:14] <christo_m> but you're supposed to have a hardcopy of the game
[03:14] <ZykoticK9> danub, "apt-cache search metasploit" returns w3af and a w3af-console -- i have no idea what any of these 3 things are.  good luck.
[03:14] <drakeman> y want to try it but would be good some reference
[03:14] <sacarlson> mbvpixies78: my guess is it's the cache in your browser try close and reopen it or maybe just reload
[03:14] <DrGrov> christo_m: Anything you could suggest? What would be a good platform to play on?
[03:14] <DrGrov> christo_m: I have played all the genesis games already before
[03:14] <Descriptioned> its any program or how i can put my own ubuntu Button?
[03:15] <Guest44407> drakeman: it looks better
[03:15] <DrGrov> christo_m: I was really hoping to get NeoGeo working
[03:15] <sacarlson> mbvpixies78: or do you run a proxy?
[03:15] <Guest44407> i like the splash screen ^_^
[03:15] <danub> ZykoticK9: yeah those are for testing web applications. they aren't used for testing system strength
[03:15] <ZykoticK9> drakeman, that's a very subjective question - i did run 10.10 (better/newer Nvidia driver) but returned to 10.04
[03:15] <DaGeek247> DrGrov what are you lookin for?
[03:15] <mbvpixies78> sacarlson:  <shift> relead worked!  thanks..  swore it didn't last time
[03:15] <dascapital> KM0201: someone get KM0201 for me
[03:15] <philip_> Hey I have a problem I cannot get GTKpod working with my IPod touch 4G IOS 4.2.1 8GB model./
[03:15] <KM0201> dascapital: lol..
[03:16] <christo_m> DrGrov: im not sure, i dont know about the emulator scene on linux
[03:16] <drakeman> ZykoticK9 you think 10.04 its better than the new version?
[03:16] <DrGrov> DaGeek247: I am looking for a working NeoGeo emulator and some ROM's I am sure I can find. Mostly to get the NeoGeo emulator working properly. I would love some Super Sidekicks 2, 3 and 4 again
[03:16] <philip_> I have all my LIbImobile stuff upgraded Ubuntu Mounts my IPod but, I can't sync to it.
[03:16] <mbvpixies78> sacarlson:  I'd like to set up a proxy--  for that would I just have the router forward from the proxy to the server?
[03:16] <DaGeek247> *#poopadoop
[03:16] <philip_> Also, I'm on Ubuntu 10.10
[03:16] <DrGrov> christo_m: Ok, no worries. Thanks though for helping :)
[03:16] <ZykoticK9> drakeman, it's personal preference more then anything.
[03:17] <DaGeek247> wrong channel, oops
[03:17] <Descriptioned> its any program or how i can put my own ubuntu Button icon...?
[03:17] <ZykoticK9> drakeman, for me it's the LTS that I really like.
[03:17] <noonian> drakeman, 10.10 fixed a few annoying issues for me, but introduced a gew new ones also
[03:17] <emo> ave downloaded this log in theme from Gnome wit a .tar extension how do i install it it
[03:17] <noonian> and i always like getting the new version
[03:17] <philip_> Anybody?
[03:17] <drakeman> ZykoticK9 the nex lts would be 11.04?
[03:17] <sacarlson> mbvpixies78:  I'm not sure what do you need the proxy for?  in this case I asked since the proxy will provide you the same page if it's not expired yet
[03:17] <ZykoticK9> drakeman, no - 12.04 i think
[03:17] <drakeman> noobuntu any notable bug ¡?
[03:17] <DrGrov> DaGeek247: You got any suggestions for the NeoGeo emulator stuff?
[03:17] <drakeman> ZykoticK9 thanks
[03:18]  * philip_ sighs.
[03:18] <emo> ave downloaded this log in theme from Gnome wit a .tar extension how do i install it it
[03:18] <drakeman> ZykoticK9 actually im using rhel and centos, or fedora, would be good an dpkg distro _:D
[03:18] <emo> any one
[03:18] <DaGeek247> DrGrov no, i thought you were looking for gamesc to play, sorry.
[03:18] <sacarlson> mbvpixies78: the meta in the html file will tell the proxy or browser that the file is expired and will reload it
[03:18] <DrGrov> DaGeek247: What kind of games did you mean?
[03:18] <mbvpixies78> sacarlson:  I'm just brushing up on my networking on my own (in school for security and programming) and trying to find projects and other things to learn from
[03:18] <ZykoticK9> emo, GDM themes from old versions will NOT work with the new GDM - you have very few options for current GDM themes.
[03:19] <mbvpixies78> sacarlson:  ok, good to know thanks
[03:19] <DrGrov> Not anyone here is using a NeoGeo emulator on Ubuntu? Please do tell me in case you are using such. I would love to get my hands on the old cool NeoGeo again.
[03:19] <emo> whea can i get the new themes that will work?//
[03:19] <philip_> Anybody has anything that will help?

[03:24] <DrGrov> I hope I could get Uplink working on Ubuntu 10.04 but I have had problems there as well.
[03:24] <gunndawg> DrGrov you mean Uplink the game ?
[03:24] <DaGeek247> you dont. (that i know of.) i looked into it myself.
[03:24] <ZykoticK9> emo, short answer is "you can't".  Ubuntu Tweak lets you use a couple, Mint's for example.
[03:24] <danub> DrGrov: he should be able to go to he site and download the packages and then once they are on his desktop just open the themes window and drag and drop though still right?
[03:24] <dereckk> hello
[03:25] <joeoshawa> http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/wolf/ not sure if you saw this but
[03:25] <yeats> !themes | emo
[03:25] <DaGeek247> danub, yes but he cant.

[03:25] <DaGeek247> !patience
[03:25] <dereckk> can someoone help me with a tunneling command syntax
[03:25] <gunndawg> DrGrov, fun game
[03:26] <DrGrov> gunndawg: It sure is but I do not get it working with Ubuntu 10.04 which is painful... :(
[03:26] <danub> ok, off to get metasploit to install
[03:26] <DaGeek247> so a couple cool games == uplink,
[03:26] <joeoshawa> emo: you can get login themes and use them just haven't personally
[03:26] <gunndawg> Try 10.10
[03:26] <DaGeek247> ?
[03:26] <christo_m> uplink is sick
[03:26] <christo_m> hacking
[03:26] <DrGrov> Nah
[03:26] <DrGrov> christo_m: You like Uplink?
[03:27] <DaGeek247> Hacking?
[03:27] <joeoshawa> what is with the whole you can't thing
[03:27] <reeds> Hey guys, I was wondering how to see some kind of "log" of my Ubuntu boot process?  I'd like to know what parts of the boot take what amount of time, and look for things to trim that I don't use.  Any advice would be appreciated, thx.
[03:27] <joeoshawa> you can do anything in linux thats the point
[03:27] <christo_m> DrGrov: ya i used to play it
[03:27] <DaGeek247> joeohawa in 10.04 the themes ae messed up.
[03:27] <joeoshawa> changing the login screen is easy if you know how
[03:27] <DrGrov> joeoshawa: Uplink the game is dependent on some old libs that can not be installed properly on Ubuntu 10.04
[03:27] <pseudonymous> DaGeek247, he's referring to uplink, an old game where you play a hacker. Entirely fictitious, though quite fun
[03:27] <emo> thankx
[03:28] <Igoru> how can i remove a PAN between my notebook and my desktop that was added to network-manager when i paired both computers?
[03:28] <joeoshawa> ahh sorry dude
[03:28] <joeoshawa> that last one was to the you can't theme the login dude
[03:28] <DaGeek247> cool.
[03:28] <joeoshawa> yes you can
[03:28] <joeoshawa> mine is
[03:28] <gunndawg> !themes
[03:28] <DrGrov> Damn
[03:28] <ghost_> hi
[03:29] <DrGrov> I want a petition to get Uplink The Game working for Ubuntu 11.04 or some soon to be released Ubuntu

[03:29] <yeats> reeds: start with /var/log/messages
[03:29] <reeds> ok, thanks yeats
[03:29] <DrGrov> Dr.House is calling... Gotta go and watch
[03:30] <madprof> what's the best screen capture program?
[03:30] <dereckk> yeats:  can you help me with ssh tunneling syntax  please
[03:30] <gunndawg> when is the next ubuntu release, as far as I am concerned 10.10 is pretty new isnt it ?
[03:30] <philip_> madprof: GTKRecordmydesktop
[03:30] <DrGrov> madprof: GTKrecordmydesktop
[03:30] <xangua> gunndawg: 11.04
[03:30] <yeats> dereckk: what are you trying to do (I may not know)
[03:30] <ZykoticK9> gunndawg, April 2011
[03:30] <philip_> Derp
[03:30] <DaGeek247> gunndawg 11.04 is coming real soon.
[03:30] <madprof> thx
[03:30] <philip_> Features of 11.04?
[03:30] <ZykoticK9> gunndawg, version numbers are the date, and a new version comes out every 6 months
[03:31] <DrGrov> Is it about safe to update to 10.10 already from 10.04? Can I update within 10.04 -> 10.10?
[03:31] <gunndawg> ah ok
[03:31] <DaGeek247> plilip_ its new.
[03:31] <dereckk> yeats:  i want to open a port on my wifi connection so that other can connect to my server thought ssh
[03:31] <dereckk> i have a external server to use as a tunnel/sock/proxy
[03:31] <yeats> !11.04 | philip_ gunndawg
[03:31] <christo_m> dereckk: forward the port on your router
[03:31] <jethrot> how do I set up an Intel Mobile 4 chipset on ubuntu for display?  it will only let me do 800x600
[03:31] <christo_m> dereckk: <IP_ADDRESS> usually
[03:31] <DaGeek247> DrGrov , you canupgrade to 10.10 in 10.04. i did, andit ruined my os.
[03:32] <christo_m> or you can check the ip of your gateway by typing ifconfig in console
[03:32] <yeats> dereckk: that's actually beyond me, sorry ;-)
[03:32] <dereckk> christo_m: yes but with one goes first in the ssh syntax
[03:32] <philip_> I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a7 yr old desktop :)
[03:33] <DrGrov> DaGeek247: It ruined your OS? What did you actually do?
[03:34] <DrGrov> Well, time to run out before I miss the appointment with Dr. House
[03:34] <dereckk> christo_m: like it's ssh -D port:routerIP:port to open   user@tunnelserver  ?
[03:34] <DrGrov> Can't afford to miss it
[03:34] <danub> where do i go to change the ctrl+shift+c to do a copy? i want to change that to just ctrl+c
[03:34] <christo_m> dereckk: woah..
[03:34] <Zelozelos> what was that command to see a list of dependencies for a program?
[03:35] <joeoshawa> danub: it is ctrl c to copy
[03:35] <danub> dereckk: reverse ssh tunnel?
[03:35] <coz_> danub,    ctrl+shift+c  generally is copy from a terminal window  not from the main system
[03:35] <danub> coz_: joeoshawa is there a way to make it that way in the terminal also?
[03:35] <DaGeek247> i installed 10.10 from  10.04, and 10.10 failed me. (would not boot) and since i upgraded my current os i had to reformat and install 10.04 again, and lose what little data i had.
[03:35] <dereckk> danub:  yes  to open a port on my wifi connection that has all ports closed normally
[03:35] <danub> lol im a dumbass, ignore me ;)
[03:35] <semitones> gmail: slow for all, or just me
[03:36] <sexcopter> hi, any chance someone can help me convert this streaming .mov file into an offline version? My attempts at using mplayer with -dumpstream don't go very far :( (link: http://hstreaming.zdf.de/3sat/veryhigh/110126_wa_das_tier_in_dir_ard.mov)
[03:36] <joeoshawa> danub: there probably is i just never had a reason to that is probably that way to avoid a conflict
[03:37] <DaGeek247> 10.0 has had various problems, and in general is not the best ubuntu os.
[03:37] <coz_> sexcopter,   that appears to be a text file... it will not download an actual video
[03:37] <dereckk> christo_m:  i mixup the ssh command,  which port and ip goes first ?  the server tunnel one or my wifi router's  ip ?
[03:37] <joeoshawa> there is no 10.0 you mean 10.10?
[03:37] <DaGeek247> yea
[03:38] <sexcopter> coz_, I believe it has an rtsp address inside, so starts a stream going
[03:38] <joeoshawa> yeah i have had problems as well i have just been able to fix them or they got fixed in an update
[03:38] <coz_> sexcopter,  ah ok I didnt check it out
[03:38] <Pemalites> could anyone help me figure what drive my ipod is when it's connected?
[03:38] <sexcopter> (and i tried using the rtsp link as well with mplayer)
[03:39] <joeoshawa> but 10.10 also fixed some problems for some people
[03:39] <joeoshawa> put 10.04 on a dell 2400
[03:39] <joeoshawa> it will bork
[03:39] <DaGeek247> i never relly got to mess with 10.10
[03:39] <Pemalites> I'm trying to rename it using mtools...
[03:39] <philip_> I have Ubuntu on a AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8GHZ 1GB ram 160GB hard-drive nvidia geforce FX 5200256mb agp8x
[03:39] <philip_> 10.10
[03:40] <DaGeek247> his has turned offtopic. :p
[03:41] <DaGeek247> so that is were we should go.
[03:42] <danub> Pemalites: when you pug it in, it should put an icon on your desktop yes?
[03:42] <cryptodira> say folks, what would cause vlc or totem to occasionally NOT play part of an audio track on a dvd...for instance, i can hear music and background noises (rain, wind) but NO vocals... yet the dvd plays fine in another system... thoughts??
[03:42] <joeoshawa> amd athlon 2.7 ghz dual core 4gb ddr2 ram 1tb hdd nvidia 8400 gs 512mb ddr2
[03:43] <danub> cryptodira: maybe you are missing some codecs? :: shrugs :: dont quote me though because audio isn't my bag
[03:43] <joeoshawa> i know the vid card sucks
[03:43] <Pemalites> yes
[03:43] <joeoshawa> incidentally its fanless
[03:44] <danub> Pemalites: now that it has an icon on your desktop, go to system->administration->disk utility
[03:44] <danub> it will list it under there with any relavent info you will need
[03:44] <joeoshawa> if i can work out a new one with say 512 ddr4  thats a little newer i will give it to my mother
[03:44] <Pemalites> ahhh
[03:45] <danub> figure it out Pemalites ?
[03:46] <DaGeek247> i got my gcard for five $ and its got 256mb ram
[03:46] <joeoshawa> sorry gddr5
[03:46] <Pemalites> not quite, the instructions for this mtool thing required that I add in a line to the mtools.conf
[03:46] <Pemalites> something written like drive: d file= /dev/sdb3/
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> cryptodira, sounds like you have some sort of surround sound (5.1) setup and are getting the back channels only - see if there is some option for 2 channel somewhere.  Sorry I don't user VLC or Totem so can't guide you.
[03:47] <Snakkah> Hi. My wireless connection is working fine, but my wired connection is not. "eth0" isn't even listed when I type ifconfig into the Terminal. Why did this happen and how do I get it to detect wired connections again?
[03:47] <cryptodira> danub, i do not think so... as other dvd's play just fine all the way through....it is certainly perplexing... where there are multiple audio tracks, i can hear the french ... spanish... just fine.... on these dvd's in question, i can hear the audio track with commentary, but not without.
[03:47] <DaGeek247> ZykoticK9 what do you use?
[03:47] <cryptodira> ZykoticK9, good thought, i will check that out.
[03:47] <ZykoticK9> DaGeek247, mplayer-nogui NOT for everyone ;)
[03:47] <danub> cryptodira: does it play fine in a dvd player?
[03:48] <danub> Pemalites: so locate the fine in question, open it, add that line and save the file?
[03:48] <cryptodira> danub, yes, in a dvd player and on a mac g5....
[03:48] <danub> hmm, that is odd
[03:49] <slestak> hey guys.  got a 10.10 ubuntu machine having a problem with gdm
[03:49] <danub> try a different dvd application and see if that one does it too
[03:49] <slestak> was working fine for several weeks
[03:49] <danub> slestak: ask your question
[03:49] <cryptodira> ZykoticK9,  looking at sound preferences, i have internal audio analog surround 4.0
[03:50] <Pemalites> the /dev/sdb3/ information was in the disk utility however i'm not sure which partition to add it under in the mtools.conf or what letter the drive is. the ipod wouldn't be it's own partition would it?
[03:50] <danub> if someone knows the answer they will pipe in and help out
[03:50] <slestak> I am looking at it now, and the right side of the screen is black, except for a cursor centered
[03:50] <ZykoticK9> cryptodira, so try turning surround off
[03:50] <slestak> danub: trying to phrase it correctly
[03:50] <slestak> the left side looks perfect.
[03:50] <slestak> after logging in, the whole lcd is used and no problem can be noted
[03:51] <danub> so just when its booting its messed up?
[03:51] <slestak> another strange thing is the keyboard takes explicit hard slow presses to type in the username, password, and Enter to login
[03:51] <Balmung> Wanting to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 ..... shrinked the partition on windows 7 (was a HP laptop so it had like 4 partitions) Ubuntu was being a pain still... then gpart decided to crash every time i ran it.... and now my windows 7 got corrupted ... is there a easy picture tutorial thats UPDATED ._.
[03:51] <cryptodira> ZykoticK9,  i thought of that.... but do not see where to do that... in sound prefs i only have surround 4 and a radeon output for hdmi
[03:51] <slestak> again, after in gnome, the keyboard works with typical amount of pressure needed to register a keypress
[03:52] <Gerwin> I noticed the LCD tv I'm currently using as a screen shows some distorted/dead rows of pixels at the bottom when running Ubuntu, I'm over 100% sure those weren't there when I ran WinXP, any idea where does might've came from?
[03:52] <Snakkah> Hi. My wireless connection is working fine, but my wired connection is not. "eth0" isn't even listed when I type ifconfig into the Terminal. Why did this happen and how do I get it to detect wired connections again?
[03:52] <slestak> danub: not really on boot, seems to just be gdm
[03:52] <danub> Pemalites: i dont have an ipod to connect so im just gonna rough it here, but in the disk utility, in the bottom section under volumes, how many are there for that ipod?
[03:53] <DaGeek247> Snakkah make a new eth0 connection.
[03:53] <danub> slestak: but when you log in it is fine? just the splash screen is messed up?
[03:53] <ZykoticK9> cryptodira, are there any sound options in vlc or totem that allow you to select 2 channel?
[03:53] <slestak> danub: thinking about modifying the upstart rule to make gdm not start to get to a console?
[03:53] <slestak> after logging in, there is nothing wrong at all
[03:54] <slestak> this is a dell mini9 with intel video chipset
[03:54] <Balmung> anyone know a guide to my problem above?
[03:54] <slestak> i have been using this machine for prob 1.5 to 2 years (since they came out)
[03:54] <slestak> with ubuntu
[03:54] <DaGeek247> Balmung how important is wi dows to you?
[03:54] <danub> slestak: gdm doesn't have to start to get a console, you can just hit ctrl+f1. not sure why it would just all of a sudden mess up the splash screen and then apply the correct settings after loading
[03:54] <Pemalites> mmm under  host adaptor theres the hard disk and cd drive :/ and then under peripheral devices theres just the ipod
[03:55] <Pemalites> i think that was the correct thing to say?
[03:55] <Balmung> I need it , I am currently booted on a live ubuntu cd backing up my files.
[03:55] <Balmung> because windows will not run
[03:55] <cryptodira> ZykoticK9,  not in totem... vlc shows me the other audio channels... (other languages, commentary) but nothing else.
[03:55] <slestak> danub: i know.  i have been around linux for years, and this is a strange one.  checking logs and dont see anything really pertinenent
[03:55] <Pemalites> unless you meanth space.... in the ipod which is listed as 30gb
[03:55] <Pemalites> meant*
[03:56] <DaGeek247> Balmung k. whats problm with windows?
[03:56] <slestak> this is my daughers machine now, and she did fill up the ssd not long ago.  I have since cleared space, but i wonder id sth got corrupted
[03:56] <Pemalites> thank you for trying to help
[03:56] <ZykoticK9> cryptodira, sorry i don't have any other suggestions, good luck man.
[03:56] <Snakkah> DaGeek247, did that. The Network Manager just won't detect wired connections at all.
[03:56] <Snakkah> I'm on a laptop by the way.
[03:56] <danub> slestak: its possible. maybe there was a gdm update that got cutoff because the disk was full?
[03:56] <cryptodira> ZykoticK9, np, was a long shot... these intemittent situations are sometimes tricky... Thanks.
[03:56] <philip_> Snakkah does it matter? Wireless is working fine isn't it?
[03:57] <danub> Pemalites: on the left, you have your storage devices, click on the ipod, then the right side will populate with data
[03:57] <cryptodira> danub, thanks for your suggestions.
[03:57] <Balmung> DaGeek247 well I think i corrupted it honestly so I am getting my flies off and sending a nuke to it.  After which I WILL install windows 7 and Ubuntu of which I want to be prompted which i want to use when I start up my laptop
[03:57] <DaGeek247> Snakkah what do you mean wont detect?
[03:57] <slestak> anohter note is when i boot to a live usb, it does not show the problem, so it is def the package on that install
[03:57] <Balmung> files*
[03:57] <danub> slestak: you can try to do the dpkg --reconfigure thing and see if that fixes it?
[03:57] <slestak> i dont think the install would let me do a --purge on gdm, it would prob nork everything
[03:58] <slestak> let me try to log in, its being a little tempermental
[03:58] <Balmung> DaGeek247 My problem is .. all the "tutorials" are like way confusing or non updated (which most arent and makes them confusing)
[03:58] <philip_> Snakkah does it matter if wireless is working?
[03:58] <DaGeek247> Balmung by default, if you install windows then ubuntu, you will be given a choice which one to boot.
[03:58] <danub> Pemalites: once it populates with data, you will see volumes in the right section, about halfway down. clicking on different sections will tell you the volume
[03:59] <aprilhare> hello. can you tell me what package is responsible for the display of the ubuntu logo on startup?
[03:59] <danub> Pemalites: so if there are 2 partitions and your drive is /dev/sdc, you will have sdc1 and sdc2
[03:59] <DaGeek247> Balmung if you just want to explore ubuntu, try using vmare or soething.
[03:59] <ZykoticK9> aprilhare, Plymouth
[03:59] <danub> Pemalites: see which has the music on it, and go with that partition
[03:59] <Balmung> DaGeek247 well thats good to know but my problem is The hp laptop i have apparently used all the "primary partitions" it could so I had to delete one of them (which was named HP tools , which was useless) and  it still wouldn't let me install ubuntu ... so Yeah.. I need a hp windows 7 tutorial
[03:59] <Balmung> Need it for a class so i have to have it
[03:59] <aprilhare> ZykoticK9, ty i'll try reinstalling that. it's not working and looks messy and tacky
[03:59] <slestak> danub: im having difficulty even loggin now.
[04:00] <Pemalites> okay I'm going to try adding it in using that logic
[04:00] <ZykoticK9> aprilhare, if you're using a proprietary nvidia/ati driver - that's "normal" lol
[04:00] <danub> slestak: change to a different screen (f2 maybe), log in that way
[04:00] <joeoshawa> omg updates ubuntu i have had three this week
[04:00] <slestak> good thought
[04:00] <aprilhare> ZykoticK9, hmmmm ic. i need nvidia driver
[04:01] <ZykoticK9> aprilhare, here is a non-trivial script that can "fix" it http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html
[04:02] <aprilhare> ty
[04:02] <joeoshawa> aprilhare you can use an open source driver but some features don't work like 3d etc
[04:02] <DaGeek247> Balmung o when windows data is backed up, you are just gonna refomat everythingand ut windows back on?
[04:02] <DaGeek247> *put
[04:02] <mbvpixies78> I have 2 computers freezing after "DMI update...  GRUB"  Anyone know what I can do?  They won't start from CD or flash drive
[04:03] <slestak> danub: im lock out of this thing now.  i need to get to the grub menu
[04:03] <Chr|s> hey guys I use Thunderbird mostly for email, how do I remove evolution and use Thunderbird in the indicator applet instead? Ive done it before, but can't remember
[04:03] <danub> slestak: you cant log in on any of the f* screens?
[04:03] <philip_> sudo apt-get purge thunderbird
[04:03] <richthegeek> hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers
[04:03] <slestak> nope
[04:04] <richthegeek> anyone got an idea why?
[04:04] <danub> got any spare terminals open?
[04:04] <mikaeldelmar> #chile
[04:04] <Balmung> DaGeek247 yeah because its currently corrupted so might as well you know? , Know of any like EASY to follow guides.  I am  a computer major and such but I have only ever used Windows and never bothered trying to experiment with other OS nor messing with the setup/boot stuff
[04:04] <slestak> no, its been rebooted,
[04:05] <slestak> since its my daughters machine, i don think i have ssh server running either
[04:05] <devkorcvince> why is compiz always a bug on hp machines? it will freeze from time to time
[04:05] <danub> Balmung: windows 7 is different then xp, it uses a completely different boot loader. i ran into issues trying to install linux over it. you might need to just pop in your win 7 disk, restore the boot sector and then you should be able to access windows
[04:06] <richthegeek> hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers - any idea why (and yes I'm spamming this)
[04:06] <danub> slestak: how are you connected to the machine right now? remotely or pyshically?
[04:06] <danub> are you in gdm?
[04:06] <slestak> physically,
[04:06] <DaGeek247> Balmung, partitining is not hard at all. just put gparted live onto cd, boot gparted, reformat ALL patitions to one blank one, then change the fs to ntfs. install windows, and come back here.
[04:06] <KSHawkEye> Hey, I have a few errors on Ubuntu Server. They read:
[04:06] <KSHawkEye> [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 132
[04:06] <KSHawkEye> This error only shows on bootup and before the login?
[04:06] <slestak> im on a spare laptop
[04:07] <devkorcvince> mt greate solution remove compiz use metacity it wont hurt my productivity and install awesome wm minal is the key to the fastest dev
[04:07] <slestak> i wonder if pam is what may be screwed
[04:07] <danub> ohhh, your using a different one to talk here
[04:07] <Balmung> danub well >.> if i really really wanted to I could just pop in my windows xp os and try using it that way but My computer was setup for windows 7 and i need to learn how to use 7 well for IT problems
[04:07] <slestak> danub: yes
[04:07] <danub> gotcha
[04:07] <nexes> DaGeek247: You can actually just apt-get install gparted onto the Ubuntu live CD if you have network. It's convenient if you already have that disc handy. :)
[04:07] <danub> Balmung: yeah, pop in the win 7 disk, restore boot sector, it will allow you to get back into windows
[04:08] <slestak> yep, im on a ... ewww.   win7 machine troubleshooting ubuntu.  sth is very wrong w this picture
[04:08] <danub> Balmung: you can deal with the rest later when you learn your way around
[04:08] <Snakkah> Can someone explain to me why suspend/hibernate disabled my ability to connect to wired networks? That seems to be what happened according to what I've read elsewhere.
[04:08] <Balmung> DaGeek247  so put gparted on a cd like you would put ubuntu on a live cd?
[04:08] <danub> lol slestak
[04:08] <DaGeek247> Balmung yes
[04:08] <danub> so you cant access her laptop at all? or you have atleast 1 terminal you can use there?
[04:08] <slestak> i thought Esc during boot would bring up the grub menu
[04:08] <slestak> but that is not workign either
[04:09] <slestak> if i could get into busybox maybe i could fix sth
[04:09] <DaGeek247> you need the 100+mb dowloaded iso of gparted
[04:09] <rww> slestak: shift, not esc
[04:09] <slestak> i have no terminal there
[04:09] <slestak> let me try that
[04:09] <Balmung> DaGeek247 OK ill look up on doing that.     Danub: Hp was kind of a douche and didnt include a cd with my computer so i will have to make one i think xD.
[04:09] <philip_> How come my download speed under ubuntu is faster than my DOwnload speed in Windows?
[04:09] <danub> you may have to drop into single user
[04:09] <danub> then it wont load gdm or anything like that, you just get the console
[04:10] <slestak> i changed the gdm setup to not present list of users, and the "hard press" keybard issue in gdm messes up loggin in
[04:10] <mbvpixies78> now one of the two just started booting from a CD...  but the other computer is still frozen in "GRUB"  is there any reason to just let it sit like that a while?
[04:10] <nexes> philip_: Download speed with what? Just downloads through your web browser?
[04:10] <slestak> sec, rebooting mini
[04:10] <richthegeek> hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers - any idea why (and yes I'm spamming this)
[04:10] <philip_> Yeah.
[04:10] <philip_> Firefox on Ubuntu is 5x faster than Firefox on Windows
[04:10] <danub> slestak: ok, you do that, im getting coffee
[04:10] <nexes> philip_: Likely just a coincidence.
[04:10] <DaGeek247> google chrome is farster than both.
[04:11] <Snakkah> Can someone explain to me why suspend/hibernate disabled my ability to connect to wired networks? That seems to be what happened according to what I've read elsewhere.
[04:11] <philip_> Chrome sucks.
[04:11] <Snakkah> philip_, agreed.
[04:11] <mal10c> i love chrome!
[04:11] <JoseeAntonioR> hi!
[04:11] <nexes> DaGeek247: He's talking about bandwidth, not actual speed of the browser itself. :)
[04:11] <slestak> meh, chrome
[04:11] <DaGeek247> its perfect for me.
[04:11] <mbvpixies78> If you want privacy, don't use google or chrome
[04:11] <philip_> If chrome didn't suck then why would firefox be included as the main Browser?
[04:11] <philip_> lol.
[04:11] <JoseeAntonioR> i have a problem, my empathy contact list is empty
[04:11] <Pemalites> and does anyone have any suggestions for a music manager compatible with ipod other than amorak?
[04:11] <nexes> philip_: Actually, it's moreso because Firefox integrates better into the desktop environment.
[04:11] <slestak> i have so many sites that dont work with chrome
[04:12] <Descriptioned> why i cant open iexplorer.exe with wine???  Still no Ubuntu. :(
[04:12] <Descriptioned> in past it was running now not..
[04:12] <DaGeek247> yes
[04:12] <nexes> DaGeek247: It's Chromium in Linux, which is free software.
[04:12] <ZykoticK9> philip_, chromium is now the default in UNE - wouldn't be surprised if soon it's that for desktop as well.
[04:13] <philip_> I just use FF that came with the OS.
[04:13] <DaGeek247> no, chrome is different from chromium.
[04:13] <philip_> No since installing another OS.
[04:13] <philip_> Browser**
[04:13] <danub> ok back
[04:13] <nexes> DaGeek247: Is there actually a straight Chrome for Linux?
[04:13] <richthegeek> hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers - any idea why (and yes I'm spamming this)
[04:13] <philip_> I hit 224kb/s in updating on Ubuntu linux.
[04:13] <DaGeek247> nexs yes
[04:13] <Chr|s> :( Nope
[04:13] <ZykoticK9> nexes, yes - get it from google
[04:13] <danub> oh pema left
[04:13] <danub> ok
[04:14] <Skaag> Hey, CLI messages (from apt-get for example) are in Russian - any quick way to make them all English again?
[04:14] <philip_> On 1.6DSL
[04:14] <philip_> 1.5**
[04:14] <nexes> ZykoticK9: Any real difference? Chromium seems to work well enough.
[04:14] <ZykoticK9> nexes, use Chromium it's open source.  Chrome available from http://www.google.com/chrome/
[04:14] <DaGeek247> yes, chrome is googles version.
[04:14] <Sharpclaw> Waht is Wine??
[04:14] <Sharpclaw> what not waht. LOL!
[04:15] <slestak> danub: hey, got an idea
[04:15] <Skaag> Sharpclaw: program to run windows applications under emulation
[04:15] <philip_> Wine makes it so that it's sortof possible to open Windows programs in Linux.
[04:15] <DaGeek247> Sharclaw it runs windows exes
[04:15] <nexes> ZykoticK9: I have Chromium installed, although it's not my main browser. I just wasn't aware that Chrome itself was available.
[04:15] <slestak> i have the bysigi themes installed
[04:15] <richthegeek> Skaag: WINE = WINE Is Not an Emulator
[04:15] <slestak> that may be screwing things up
[04:15] <Skaag> Richie_: right, so when it creates all those windows folders, and wraps some linux API's with Windows API's, that is not emulation? :-)
[04:15] <Skaag> I don't care how they call it...
[04:15] <danub> slestak: that is possible
[04:16] <nexes> Skaag: It's a Win32 API for Unix. :)
[04:16] <Skaag> yah
[04:16] <richthegeek> Skaag: it's not emulation. Emulation is a specific method of "faking" a system
[04:16] <philip_> How is it possible that Ubuntu 10.10 is faster on my computer than Windows XP?
[04:16] <Pemalites> i keep getting disconnected, my ipod manager question is the last one for tonight
[04:16] <DaGeek247> i have like 4 differnt browsers
[04:16] <Skaag> richthegeek: it fakes windows for those apps
[04:16] <richthegeek> Skaag: read "specific method"
[04:16] <Skaag> richthegeek: it even asks you, which windows version you want to fake for the apps
[04:16] <richthegeek> Skaag: a method which WINE does not use because of it's inherent problems
[04:16] <danub> philip_: because windows xp is a 7 (8) year old operating system that isn't optimized for new architecture?
[04:16] <DaGeek247> philip_  its better?
[04:16] <bikcmp> hi all, I'm looking for the location of "cp"
[04:17] <bikcmp> yes, I'm sure I need it.
[04:17] <philip_> Danub my Computer came out about the time WindowsXP Home was being included.
[04:17] <drakeman> bikcmp mmmm location?
[04:17] <bikcmp> as in /usr/bin/cd
[04:17] <Skaag> the way I understand it, they mean not-emulation because there is no byte-code emulation happening. the code is executed as-is by the CPU.
[04:17] <drakeman> bikcmp maybe whereis cp
[04:17] <gpc> bikcmp: /bin/cp
[04:17] <drakeman> bikcmp that sould show you the path
[04:17] <bonjoyee> bikcmp: which cp
[04:17] <bikcmp> err, did I say cp?
[04:17] <bikcmp> I meant cd, I'm sorry.
[04:17] <JoseeAntonioR> anyone reading me? i need help with empathy
[04:18] <drakeman> bikcmp whereis cd
[04:18] <bikcmp> drakeman: nope :(
[04:18] <rww> bikcmp: cd is generally a builtin function of your shell
[04:18] <drakeman> JoseeAntonioR si te leimos
[04:18] <DaGeek247> cd is a command
[04:18] <bikcmp> ah
[04:18] <bikcmp> built into bash?
[04:18] <rww> bikcmp: yes
[04:18] <gunndawg> whats a good IDE to program in with linux ? i am so used to windows programming
[04:18] <JoseeAntonioR> necesito que me ayuden con empathy
[04:18] <bikcmp> ah!
[04:18] <bikcmp> rww: thanks!
[04:18] <danub> ok, in which case, its been 8 years... things have been done to encrease efficentcy
[04:18] <danub> :)
[04:18] <danub> JoseeAntonioR: i read you, but i dont use empathy
[04:18] <nexes> gunndwag: What language?
[04:18] <drakeman> gunndawg netbeans?
[04:18] <bikcmp> i would of been looking for hours
[04:18] <bazhang> !ide > gunndawg
[04:18] <bikcmp> thanks!
[04:18] <gunndawg> thx
[04:18] <JoseeAntonioR> drakeman: mi lista de contactos de empathy esta vacia, a que se puede deber esto?
[04:19] <bazhang> JoseeAntonioR, english please
[04:19] <Skaag> anyway, how do I change the language of system messages in ubuntu?
[04:19] <Skaag> mainly, the CLI
[04:19] <danub> Skaag: you cant change the language under the system settings?
[04:19] <danub> that should change the language for everything
[04:20] <JoseeAntonioR> bazhang: I talked in spanish because someone answered me in spanish. I need help with Empathy, the main window, where contacts are shown, is empty. Why?
[04:20] <Skaag> danub: I have no access to X/Gnome, I'm logged in via SSH
[04:20] <danub> JoseeAntonioR: are you logged in?
[04:20] <richthegeek> hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers - any idea why (and yes I'm spamming this)
[04:20] <slestak> danub: i was able to get in.  when i was pressing shift to get into grub menu, it seemed to start gdm on the whole lcd, but the theme was missing.  it was undecorated gtk and an error about the battery applet
[04:20] <aprilhare> thanks for the plymouth script link, worked a treat :) now, issue two: is the login screen supposed to appear 'chocolatey' in meerkat? if not, how do I change to how it's 'meant' to appear in meerkat?
[04:20] <joeoshawa> is there any way to turn the scroll wheel sensitivity down in ubuntu
[04:20] <drakeman> JoseeAntonioR i talked to you in spanish because you have a latin name :D
[04:20] <codewiz> hi, i am trying to install a broadcom wlan driver which tells me that the kernel module "wl" is missing, what can i do about that?
[04:20] <slestak> i used synaptic to ninstall the bisigi-themes and I am rebooting now
[04:21] <JoseeAntonioR> drakeman: Yes, I'm from Latin America :D I speak Spanish and English, so there's no problem.
[04:21] <danub> Skaag: ahh.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf might help
[04:21] <JoseeAntonioR> danub: Logged in? What do you mean?
[04:22] <Skaag> thanks danub
[04:22] <danub> JoseeAntonioR: isn't empathy a buddy list or something like msn/yahoo/etc?
[04:22] <danub> Skaag: no problem
[04:23] <JoseeAntonioR> danub: Yes, I'm logged in Empathy. I can open conversations, read and answer normally. But my contacts aren't shown in the main window.
[04:23] <mbvpixies78> you have to use a remote computer as a proxy server to increase privacy, correct?  i.e., a proxy server on a local network is still just the same local network to the internet?
[04:23] <danub> JoseeAntonioR: if no one is online, i dont think it shows anyone
[04:24] <danub> JoseeAntonioR: is the "show offline" checked under the "view"?
[04:24] <mbvpixies78> does a proxy server also increase security in any way?
[04:24] <danub> mbvpixies78: for who?
[04:24] <JoseeAntonioR> danub: Yes. But I have many contacts online.
[04:24] <Cy8080> #techbytes
[04:24] <danub> JoseeAntonioR: i got nothing then. I use pidgin
[04:25] <JoseeAntonioR> danub: Oh, ok. Anyway, thanks.
[04:25] <mbvpixies78> danub:  I'm talking about my local network and securing it further from the internet while still being connected to the internet
[04:25] <philip_> Derp.
[04:25] <danub> mbvpixies78: i use one of my linux servers with squid and have my kids network connect thru it so i can block certain content, but other then that, not really
[04:26] <bonjoyee> JoseeAntonioR: any specific protocol?
[04:26] <danub> mbvpixies78: just set firewall rules. if you have a home network though, you probably have a router and if its a newer one (like in the last, 4 years) it has NAT
[04:26] <wandersick> mbvpixies78: some companies implement proxy to be the only way to access the internet, i.e. the client cannot access internet thru other means.
[04:26] <CoinOp> So can someone recommend a bug free wireless pci for a desktop running 10.10? Kind of sick of the issues with mine.
[04:27] <JoseeAntonioR> bonjoyee: If you refer to MSN, Yahoo, GMail, etc., yes. In MSN.
[04:27] <danub> mbvpixies78: so unless you have a certain system that is acting as the dmz, you shouldn't have to worry. the connections into your lan have to be initiated from inside your network
[04:27] <mbvpixies78> danub:  is NAT a form of proxy?
[04:27] <bonjoyee> JoseeAntonioR: i mean..do you have this issue with only a specific protocol? like MSN, Google Talk etc?
[04:28] <philip_> USe pidgin.
[04:28] <philip_> It's better for Linux
[04:28] <danub> mbvpixies78: NAT = Network Address Translation. basically, all trafic comes into the router and it decides where to send the info. generally, only traffic that is let in is traffic that originated from inside your network
[04:28] <mbvpixies78> wandersick:  I'm using AT&T...  I changed their modem to pass PPoE to my router
[04:29] <JoseeAntonioR> bonjoyee: I only use MSN. I don't have a way to check if this is ocurring with another protocol, as I only have a MSN Messenger account.
[04:29] <compengprof> anyone familiar with kvm and virsh?
[04:29] <mbvpixies78> danub:  I guess you don't really know how secure you are until you wait and see
[04:29] <philip_> Then you can install AMSN then.
[04:29] <DaGeek247> were was the list of games again? i lost it.
[04:29] <danub> mbvpixies78: unless you have a certain machine set as the dmz (de-militarized zone) which then that machine gets forwarded all non-inbound originating network traffic (if i scan your IP with NMAP, and you have a dmz system, i will get to that system)
[04:30] <slestak> danub: dpkg-reconfigure gdm doesnt appear to do anything
[04:30] <compengprof> hello?
[04:30] <philip_> Sudo it.
[04:30] <danub> mbvpixies78: if you dont have a dmz setup, all i can scan is your router which wont provide much in the way of accessing your network
[04:30] <mbvpixies78> danub:  what is the purpose of a dmz?  Isn't any web server a dmz?
[04:30] <philip_> Hey i_is_broke
[04:30] <slestak> a dmx is a "location" on your lan where a webserver may sit
[04:30] <danub> mbvpixies78: typically yes, web-servers are in a DMZ, but normal workstations aren't
[04:31] <DaGeek247> games list?
[04:31] <danub> mbvpixies78: there are exceptions, if load-balancers are attached, if you have a cisco router with advanced routing configurations, etc. but your on a home network so those things dont apply
[04:32] <danub> slestak: maybe you have a bad splash screen theme?
[04:32] <mbvpixies78> danub:  that's where I'm fuzzy--  I have a web server but am not sure what all I need to check to make sure it is secure as possible
[04:32] <slestak> could be
[04:32] <slestak> where is the spash screen theme configured?  Not in Login Settings, or in Settings
[04:32] <mbvpixies78> danub:  for a dmz, does it all boil down to permissions and secure passwords?
[04:32] <slestak> I mean Appearance
[04:33] <JoseeAntonioR> anyone who uses empathy?
[04:33] <RedWraith> slestak:
[04:33] <danub> mbvpixies78: then you should run an audit against it, theres a few applications out there for that
[04:33] <gunndawg> cant wait to really be able to modify and change the apperance of everything
[04:33] <RedWraith> you can configure it with ubuntu tweak
[04:34] <slestak> ty
[04:34] <danub> slestak: lol i actually cant help you with that one. i access it via kde ;)
[04:34] <DaGeek247> !games  DaGeek247
[04:34] <RedWraith> slestak: ubuntu tweak isn't available in the repository, you'll have to google it and download the .deb
[04:34] <mbvpixies78> danub:  ok, looking into auditing tools, thx
[04:35] <compengprof> hello?
[04:35] <danub> mbvpixies78: no, not quite. i mean strong pass is good
[04:35] <coz_> compengprof,   we see you :)
[04:35] <compengprof> Anyone with any experience with kvm and virsh?
[04:36] <danub> mbvpixies78: you can also set certain firewall rules, dont allow icmp (stop certain forms of DDOS), etc... but your webserver will only be as secure as the operating system and the applications running on it
[04:36] <gunndawg> I have ubuntu 10.10 on this laptop. thinking about putting the 64bit version on my desktop
[04:36] <slestak> danub: +1 applications
[04:36] <markoso> my flash games and youtube are running slow any suggestion
[04:37] <slestak> the apps you install are the ones to be cautious about.
[04:37] <new> i can not get sysinfo to open any suggestions
[04:37] <slestak> and the ones you dink with and dont use and leave half configured can be a vector
[04:37] <danub> i have seen asp web apps that i could compromise the entire server because of the way it intereacted with the database and the database having the ability to run system commands
[04:37] <RedWraith> markoso: what are your processor specs? Flash does not play nice with older processors.
[04:38] <mbvpixies78> any opinions on what's better among firewalls--  guarddog, firestarter, etc ?
[04:38] <markoso> it worked fine when i had win 7
[04:38] <danub> mbvpixies78: w3af in the repos can be used to test your web applications
[04:39] <gunndawg> does Ubuntu 10.10 not come with a default firewall ?
[04:39] <lithpr> hi!  created a usb install using the Startup Disk Creator w/ 4 gigs of storage.  When i booted the drive, i get the "try or install" screen.  How do i use the drive as a persistent install?
[04:39] <danub> mbvpixies78: nessus is a really good auditor, get the old version which is still free though. the newest one is closed source
[04:39] <joeoshawa> i was just looking at imwheel to adjust wheel sensitivity is that possible in 10.10?
[04:39] <RedWraith> markoso: flash has gpu acceleration on windows and is more efficient.
[04:39] <joeoshawa> and how would i go about it
[04:39] <markoso> is there a ctrl shift escape how do i kill apps and processes
[04:39] <danub> mbvpixies78: nmap will give you a quick rundown on possible ways to get in, tell you open ports and what info it can get.
[04:40] <gunndawg> is the 64bit version of 10.10 worth using ? I opted for the 32bit version because it was reccomended
[04:40] <markoso> 32
[04:40] <mbvpixies78> danub:  awesome, downloading, thx
[04:40] <lithpr> i usually use 64bit, i have had very few problems.
[04:41] <gunndawg> hmm I dunno if i should be using 32 or 64, lol
[04:41] <gunndawg> now im in a predicament
[04:41] <RedWraith> markoso: graphically you can do it with the system monitor.
[04:41] <danub> mbvpixies78: lol once you use nessus to see what exploits and things are broke, you *could* go as far as getting metasploit installed and actually cracking your system to help you understand what actually happened and how parts fit together, if you were so inclined
[04:41] <markoso> ty red
[04:41] <lithpr> gunndawg,  the real issue is: do you want to address more than 3.2 gigs of ram.
