[00:00] <j3rg> Have u ever tried putting Arch Linux on it
[00:00] <j3rg> ?
[00:00] <greezmunkey> Loki: gimp?
[00:00] <Loki> yep
[00:00] <Loki> greezmunkey: yes
[00:00] <andril> nope not yet
[00:01] <j3rg> adril: oh ok
[00:01] <andril> j3rg: i did come across this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wii_Tutorial    - once
[00:01] <greezmunkey> Loki: First off, I'm no expert. Mainly I had some web work to do, and had no choice but to sit through it, bang my head on it, and so on. I spend a little time with it every few days or so, trying new things.
[00:03] <Gran_Ger> anyone?
[00:03] <xangua> !anyone | Gran_Ger
[00:03] <kaolbrec> Gran_Ger, nautilus?
[00:03] <bcj> Has anyone else had problems booting 10.4 beta1 on VirtualBox?
[00:03] <Loki> greezmunkey: ok I see, well then I will just have to try, trial and error^
[00:04] <Gran_Ger> yes kaolbrec
[00:04] <kaolbrec> Gran_Ger, gah. That's odd. Can you set the association to nautilus?
[00:04] <shazbotmcnasty> bcj for karmic help go to #ubuntu+1
[00:04] <Mark___> When I try to run os-prober I get an error ls; cannot access /var/lib/os-prober/mount/boot
[00:04] <bcj> \join #ubuntu+1
[00:04] <kaolbrec> Gran_Ger, and it still doesn't work.
[00:04] <shazbotmcnasty> doin it wrong bcj
[00:04] <bcj> Yes I know
[00:05] <Gran_Ger> the first thing is that I don't know how to associate it
[00:05] <greezmunkey> Loki, figure out how to set up an image first, size, colors, etc. Then go from there! All it takes is time.
[00:05] <shazbotmcnasty> what is the file type Gran_Ger?
[00:05] <Resistol> I can't get 9.10 livecd to boot... it gets to the "try it without changing your computer" menu, then when I hit enter, i just get a black screen with a blinking cursor... any ideas?
[00:05] <blendmaster1024> so i downloaded a font from the internet. then i made a directory ~/fonts_life and did 'sudo ln -s /... ' i know what i did wrong, thanks for making me type it
[00:05] <Mark___> When I try to run os-prober I get an error ls; cannot access /var/lib/os-prober/mount/boot
[00:05] <MFen> does anyone know a command-line way to print out "karmic" if i'm running ubuntu 9.10?
[00:05] <Gran_Ger> Is the option Home Folder into Places
[00:05] <Gran_Ger> from the gnome-panel
[00:05] <kaolbrec> shazbotmcnasty, it's a folder :S
[00:05] <shazbotmcnasty> oh
[00:05] <CharbeL> i tried pidgin, empathy and kopete and i still can't connect to yahoo can anyone help ???
[00:05] <shazbotmcnasty> i've seen this problem before
[00:05] <MFen> or "jaunty" for 9.04
[00:06] <MFen> in other words, a way to print the current release codename on the system where it's running
[00:06] <LinuxGuy2009> Resistol: If it dont boot id throw it away myself I had nothing but trouble with 9.10. Running 9.04 on desktop and 10.04 beta1 on netbook here.
[00:06] <Mark___> So no one knows what's cashing my issue
[00:06] <Resistol> LinuxGuy2009, it's not working with 9.04 cd either :-(
[00:06] <shazbotmcnasty> Mark___, did you sudo?
[00:07] <moon> wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz && tar xzf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz && cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins
[00:07] <moon> thats it
[00:07] <moon> what i look for
[00:07] <Mark___> Yes
[00:07] <Loki> greezmunkey: thanks for the help
[00:07] <Gran_Ger> well, How can then associate the nautilus to the folder at the gnome-panel
[00:07] <mcphail> MFen: cat /etc/lsb-release
[00:07] <Principitto> can i burn a dvd to watch in my tv whit brasero?
[00:07] <maX0> any good nautilus replacements?
[00:08] <MFen> mcphail: yeah, but i have to | grep | cut which kinda sucks
[00:08] <Resistol> My computer just froze mid partition shrink... the mouse still moves, but the clock says it's still 6 minutes ago... the HD activity light is flickering, shoudl I leave it alone for a few hours?  Or should I shut it off?
[00:08] <shazbotmcnasty> Gran_Ger, right click a folder and put a check mark in "open folder"
[00:08]  * mcphail shrugs
[00:08] <mkquist> Principitto: if its in dvd format,id imagine so
[00:09] <Principitto> what is the dvd format?
[00:09] <mcphail> MFen: if you can't be bothered to type it, create a bash alias to do it
[00:09] <mkquist> Principitto: what format is it in... and can you dvd player play avis?
[00:09] <MFen> mcphail: that's not the point, i have to document it as a one-liner other people can run
[00:10] <Gran_Ger> shazbotmcnasty, where?
[00:10] <Gran_Ger> I open nautilus
[00:10] <shazbotmcnasty> yes
[00:10] <shazbotmcnasty> right click a folder
[00:10] <shazbotmcnasty> go to properties or whatever
[00:10] <Principitto> i have a movie on MPEG-4
[00:10] <mkquist> Principitto: vob files
[00:11] <Principitto> O damn
[00:11] <Principitto> i have to change it first
[00:11] <mcphail> MFen: using grep and cut still equates to a one liner. If you are looking for a single command, there isn't one AFAIK
[00:11] <mkquist> Principitto: what kind of dvd player?   Try again with the 8.04 live cd instead?
[00:15] <Gran_Ger> shazbotmcnasty, Thanks!
[00:15] <shazbotmcnasty> it worked?
[00:15] <shazbotmcnasty> Cool :)
[00:15] <Resistol> Trek, right now I've got a really messed up Vista installed on the a135, and I'm trying to put Ubuntu on instead - but I couldn't get the livecd to boot - when I select "try without making changes' i just get a black screen with a blinking cursor
[00:15] <Gran_Ger> yes, I select the option Open with application
[00:15] <Resistol> Also, in Vista I tried doing a partition shrink, and it froze... so I don't know whether to leave it alone for a bit and pray, or reboot and pray
[00:15] <Gran_Ger> Now, How could happend this?
[00:16] <Trek> Resistol, you have to give the darn thing some time to load, the blinky cursor screen is normal for a little while.  ANd also, in Vista, you cant shrink the active partition :P
[00:16] <Gran_Ger> I mean, that the folder wasn't associated.
[00:16] <Trek> Resistol, the CD will let you mess with the partitions as you install it, so just give it time to load up the livecd
[00:16] <Resistol> i gave it like 20 min
[00:16] <Resistol> no hd / cd activity
[00:17] <sixofour> what is some good video software for linux? i have an mp3 i want to upload somewhere but it needs to be a video format
[00:17] <Trek> Resistol, perhaps you have a bad/incomplete CD?
[00:17] <Resistol> i'll try makin another
[00:17] <Trek> Resistol: use a different image file (redownload)
[00:18] <mkquist> how can a mp3 be a video without video?
[00:18] <Losha> Resistol: try 8.04 if you haven't already.  Consider using k3b instead...
[00:21] <caspix> hello
[00:22] <caspix> i need kinda help
[00:22] <inti> ya brasero is buggy but i was hoping not to  get those programs cuz i dont have much space
[00:22] <Losha> !ask | caspix
[00:22] <caspix> does anyone here uses psi messenger?
[00:22] <mkquist> inti: i second the k3b
[00:22] <Losha> inti: then consider burning from the command line?
[00:22] <inti> ya
[00:24] <Resistol> what kind of problems have people been having with 10.04
[00:24] <Pici> Resistol : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion.
[00:24] <caspix> the thing is, i saw on internet that psi can be used for few im's (msn, icq, jabber, irc, gtalk) but when i installed it, it seems it's only for jabber...now i dont understand that...i'd like to use it for all..anyone knows how to add those accounts? (ps. sorry for my bad english)
[00:25] <caspix> anyone
[00:25] <caspix> ?
[00:26] <dinobisk> How can I make ubuntu automatically turn of my screen, not just dim it?
[00:26] <Trek> caspix, perhaps you should check if they have a support forum/channel?
[00:26] <Pici> caspix: From what I can see on their website, they only support connecting to jabber.
[00:26] <xangua> caspix: try pidgin, empathy or kopete for multiple accounts IM
[00:27] <caspix> pidgin is not working how it should on msn to me
[00:27] <happyhobo> Pidgin is the best IMHO but ymmv
[00:28] <Trek> caspix, I use pidgin for everything, minus Facebook, and it works without a flaw.  I strongly recommend you try it
[00:28] <Losha> caspix: I've never used PSI, but the google says it's a jabber client, no mention of any other protocols...
[00:28] <sixofour> avidmux only edits v ideos, doeswn't make them
[00:28] <happyhobo>  My armpits itch
[00:28] <psycho_oreos> !ot | happyhobo
[00:28] <happyhobo> rofl I'm just fucking around
[00:29] <Trek> !language | happyhobo
[00:29] <snxs> ping ! psyco_oreos
[00:29] <snxs> :P
[00:30] <psycho_oreos> pong snxs :p
[00:30] <happyhobo> I'm in the wrong channel anyway.  I need to be in the +1 channel since I'm using Lucid
[00:30] <snxs> heh hows it going
[00:30] <happyhobo> No one was paying attention to me anyways until I got weird then cursed.
[00:31] <sqwertle> ##programming is pretty much dead so I'm going to ask here: I'm using "Beej's Guide to Network Programming" and trying to compile the first example on my machine. The code is at http://pastie.org/879129 and is fairly simple, but the output is not what I believe it should be, and is not the output given in the tutorial. I was wondering if anyone had an idea what was wrong with it?
[00:31] <psycho_oreos> snxs, alright I suppose, got issues here and there, you?
[00:31] <Trek> !ot |  sqwertle
[00:31] <happyhobo> I stuck the mint menu on here and I want to know how to get rid of the mint logo
[00:32] <Trek> psycho_oreos / snxs, please take private talk within each other to either PM or offtopic, thanks
[00:32] <happyhobo> I don't know why that's not the default menu for all gnome.  It
[00:32] <happyhobo> 's modern and it works well.
[00:32]  * psycho_oreos nods, apologises to Trek
[00:33] <snxs> roger that
[00:33] <greezmunkey> sqwertle: INET6_ADDRSTRLEN??
[00:34] <Trek> greezmunkey: answering sqwertle's question here is off-topic, I believe he is there right now
[00:35] <ROMNCiam> jk
[00:35] <Neezer> I just plugged in a usb drive into my headless server. I want to back up my music and movies to it before I make some changes to the server. I'm not sure how to do that via ssh.
[00:36] <yawk> can anyone try grab ikiwiki 3.14 and telling me if they're able to build anything with the package..
[00:36] <yawk> s/grab/grabbing
[00:37] <mcphail> Neezer: you will need to mount the drive first
[00:38] <Neezer> mcphail, how do I do that?
[00:38] <Trek> Neezer: mount <device partition path>
[00:38] <mcphail> Neezer: how is the drive formatted (FAT/NTFS/ext3 etc?)
[00:38] <dominickpastore> i've got this line in a script run by cron: "ssh -q -N -R *:17564:localhost:22<EMAIL_ADDRESS>&>> /home/user/log &" (with correct usernames, etc). the process seems to die immediately, and nothing goes to the log. does anyone know what's going on?
[00:39] <Neezer> mcphail, I don't know...I just picked it up from best buy to do this....
[00:39] <Neezer> Trek, I don't know the <device partition path>
[00:40] <mcphail> Neezer: that's fine. It should work ok. Plug the drive in, wait for a minute and then check "dmesg" to see what device letter has been allocated
[00:40] <bastid_raZor> Neezer: if it is a blank drive then you won't have any partitions to mount.. you'll need to use gparted to format the drive first.
[00:40] <mcphail> bastid_raZor: I have never bought a drive which wasn't already formatted
[00:41] <bastid_raZor> mcphail: weird.. every drive i've ever bought has been void of a format.
[00:41] <Neezer> mcphail, I ran dmesg, and i ended up with a bunch of outputs....I have no idea what I'm looking for.
[00:41] <sixofour> tried avidmux and lives, are there any other video programs i can try that are not garbage?
[00:42] <mcphail> Neezer: there will be something near the end of the list mentioning "/dev/sd??"
[00:42] <e_trev> Have you tried OpenShot?
[00:42] <sixofour> openshot? no
[00:42] <e_trev> My video editor of choice
[00:42] <e_trev> It's got a ppa
[00:42] <Neezer> mcphail, I am pretty sure it was sdc.
[00:43] <sixofour> i'm just trying to put a picture with an mp3 and make it an avi so i can upload to fb
[00:43] <e_trev> That should do it.
[00:43] <sixofour> it should take 5-6  clicks at most lol
[00:43] <mcphail> Neezer: check again to be sure. The lines before it should comment that a usb device has been inserted and is being scanned.
[00:43] <Neezer> It was a 1TB drive, and at the end it had about 10 or 15 lines with stuff about sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc]
[00:44] <sixofour> openshot isn't in apt-get where do i get it? i don't know how to compile stuff
[00:44] <Neezer> mcphail, that is correct. SCSI emulation for USB mass storage device
[00:44] <Neezer> mcphail, then registered new interface driver usb-storage.
[00:44] <mcphail> Neezer: type "ls /dev/sdc*"
[00:45] <Neezer> mcphail, I get /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1
[00:45] <preposteruss> when i have my headphones pluged into my laptop the sound still comes out of my speakers, any direction on how to fix this?
[00:45] <Losha> Neezer: are you forwarding X11 i.e. can you run gparted?
[00:45] <Trek> Neezer: /dev/sdc1 is the partition you should try mounting
[00:45] <Neezer> Losha, I believe I could
[00:45] <Neezer> Trek, I should just do mount /dev/sdc1?
[00:45] <mcphail> Neezer: good. It has a partition set up on it and will probably have been formatted
[00:46] <Losha> Neezer: gparted is a great program for formatting. If you can't run gparted, you can format via the cli...
[00:46] <Neezer> where will it mount the partition?
[00:46] <mcphail> Neezer: you need to pick a directory to mount it to
[00:46] <greezmunkey> preposteruss, the act of plugging in the headset should shut the speakers down. Sounds screwey to me.
[00:46] <Trek> Neezer: you could try it that, it will mount it wherever you tell it to.  unfortunately, my usefulness comes to an end, I use gparted to mount/unmount stuff :P
[00:46] <Neezer> if I mount it to my home folder, then will I have access to it as a user and not have to change permissions?
[00:47] <mcphail> Neezer: no
[00:47] <preposteruss> if i go into the sound preferences on the output tab and change the connector dropdown to headphones it mutes the speakers
[00:47] <mcphail> Neezer: if it is a shop-formatted 1TB drive it will have been formatted as NTFS
[00:47] <preposteruss> and the headphones work, but for some reason it's not doing it automatically when they're plugged in
[00:47] <preposteruss> it works in other operating systems, even the netbook remixes
[00:48] <y0rch> hi
[00:48] <y0rch> hola
[00:48] <Losha> Neezer: I suggest you format it as ext3 using gparted. Then you'll be able to mount it, ok?
[00:48] <Neezer> mcphail, so if I do mount /dev/sdc1/home/nathan/storage it will make a storage folder in /home/nathan where the space will be/
[00:49] <mcphail> Neezer: you need to make the directory first
[00:49] <Losha> Neezer: and watch your spaces: sudo    mount   /dev/sdc1   /home/nathan/storage
[00:49] <mcphail> Neezer: but you will probably run into permission issues at some point because NTFS is not a native linux filesystem
[00:50] <fulld7> hello, I just installed and had to reshuffle my IDE devices to boot -- now I am stuck at grub rescue>> and when I try some commands, I get stuck with "error: unknown filesystem"
[00:50] <Neezer> what is the command for gparted?
[00:51] <Neezer> I tried gparted, and it said command not found.
[00:51] <Trek> you have a gui right Neezer?
[00:51] <Neezer> not on the server.
[00:51] <Trek> Neezer: if you don't you cant use gparted
[00:51] <Neezer> i'm in ssh.
[00:51] <Losha> Neezer: install it first: sudo apt-get install gparted
[00:51] <Neezer> but i have x11 port forwarding
[00:52] <mcphail> Neezer: do you have data on the drive already?
[00:52] <hellyeah> &jo'n el've
[00:54] <Neezer> mcpahil, I don't have anything on it...it is brand new. I am in gparted. You mentioned ext3, is ext4 better?
[00:54] <mcphail> Neezer: i don't trust ext4 yet
[00:54] <Neezer> mcphail, enough said. ext3 it is.
[00:54] <mcphail> Neezer: will your drive be used only for linux?
[00:55] <Losha> Neezer: ext3 is best for your purposes...
[00:55] <BluntObject> mcphail: Why do you not trust ext4?
[00:55] <BluntObject> I would not use anything else under Linux on a >4 TB file system.
[00:55] <BluntObject> I have over 24TB under ext4
[00:56] <BluntObject> What file system would you use for that?
[00:56] <mcphail> BluntObject: i'm probably just a bit paranoid and conservative, especially after reading the intrepid release notes
[00:56] <PERL-533605> Evening all
[00:56] <Neezer> mcphial, my drive is going to be used to do daily syncs with my server as a second backup for it in case something goes wrong....it already has raid1 running, so I should be able to replace the array if I lose 1 drive. I am going to make some changes to the server tonight or tomorrow, and I wanted a separate backup as well.
 Have you ever created a 24TB file system using ext3?
[00:57] <mcphail> BluntObject: no. Neezer is creating a 1TB filesystem. We can debate the relative merits of other filesystems on ot
[00:57] <BluntObject> Perhaps you have rsync'd files off an ext3 or XFS file system when the source has hundreds of directories with thousands of file in each?
[00:57] <Losha> I might reconsider the choice for such a large system, but for casual use, I stand by ext3 as the filesystem of choice...
[00:57] <rall> I just installed ubuntu 9.10
[00:57] <rall>               on a semiold computer with X1950 Pro card. Detects everything
[00:57] <rall>               automaticly and gives me 20000 frames pr 5 secs. Both 2d and 3d
[00:58] <rall>               works beautifully! thanks :)
[00:58] <BluntObject> I have found ext4 faster and lots more reliable than ext3 for everything
[00:58] <rall> I got a small problem with my HD4850 card though, Im sure this is the 1Gb model, but driver detects 512Mb's only.  Is there a fix for that?  (windows vista driver also detects 512 only)
[00:59] <BluntObject> rall: You may have bad memoory on the card
[00:59] <goddard> whats the best laptop to buy with 250 bucks?
[00:59] <PERL-533605> Indeed - especially if Vista also detects as 512MB
[00:59] <ganjaman420> Hey I have to run ubuntu off a live CD and I often have to use my laptop in places without internet like on the train... In order to watch videos, listen to music and read stuff off my USB stick, I need to update the software sources and packages using an internet connection. Is there any way to get these updates as files that I can put on my USB stick so I can update my ubuntu offline?
[00:59] <rall> gooddard, depends on your needs I guess :)   gaming and graphics?
[00:59] <goddard> school
[00:59] <eTrev> You can usually find older Dell's on ebay with %100 ubuntu compability for that price
[01:00] <zenlunatic> ganjaman420: why not just update when you have internet
[01:00] <dominickpastore> i've got this line in a script run by cron: "ssh -q -N -R *:17564:localhost:22<EMAIL_ADDRESS>&>> /home/user/log &" (with correct usernames, etc). the process seems to die immediately, and nothing goes to the log. the script works when run manually. does anyone know what's going on?
[01:00] <ganjaman420> I do, but then when I reboot I'm back to square one...
[01:00] <underdev> goddard: the dell mini 10v netbook comes with ubuntu with that price
[01:00] <zenlunatic> ganjaman420: oh i see
[01:00] <ganjaman420> So if I turn my laptop off, get on the train, and turn it back on, there's no mp3 support or anything like that...
[01:00] <BluntObject> Has anyone here found the secret of getting 10.04 to run under VirtualBox with full graphics support?
[01:01] <zenlunatic> ganjaman420: why not just install?
[01:01] <ganjaman420> Hard drive lock and bios lock :\
[01:01] <bastid_raZor> goddard: i have an Acer Aspire 5515 that works with no issues from 9.04 on.. also in your price range.
[01:01] <underdev> BluntObject: i tried installing desktop, it was suggested i install using the alternative
[01:02] <zenlunatic> ganjaman420: seems like more trouble than its worth... you can buy a linux netbook for under $250 and do as you wish with it
[01:02] <underdev> BluntObject: installing right now, so far so good
[01:02] <fulld7> i just booted a live cd and want to follow directions -- how do I access this without a mouse?
[01:02] <Neezer> thanks mcphail, and everyone else...I am formatting it right now. Thanks a lot....I should be good to go once this is noe then right?
[01:02] <rall> I use a 1.6 Ghz, 512Ram when traveling, and that's fast enough. Runs compiz effects too sometimes for showing off :P
[01:02] <fulld7> can I get to the menus up top?
[01:02] <teio> [01:02:16]       fulld7 | i just booted a live cd and want to . 13WAAJQNV
[01:02] <teio>                           follow directions -- how do I       . 30BAAC5D9
[01:02] <ganjaman420> lol, I'm pretty broke...
[01:02] <Losha> ganjaman420: well you could, but it usually takes longer to download updates than to install them, so why not just update while connected to the net, and not worry about trying to do it via usb?
[01:03] <BluntObject> ganadist: Broke is never pretty
[01:03] <BluntObject> lol
[01:03] <underdev> ganjaman420: weed is expensive :)
[01:03] <zenlunatic> Losha: hes running livecd on the train
[01:03] <teio>                           access this without a mouse?
[01:03] <mcphail> Neezer: just run the mount command, yes
[01:03] <teio> oops
[01:03] <fulld7> teio ??
[01:03] <masu3701> what can i use to convert .flv into mp3?
[01:03] <mcphail> Neezer: and have a look at rsnapshot for your backups. It is a fantastic program
[01:03] <rall> BluntObject,  do you know if there is a easy way of testing videoram on card?
[01:04] <zenlunatic> IMO updating a livecd is asinine
[01:04] <rosco_y> Can anyone recommend software to help me keep focused on my goals?
[01:04] <teio> guys whats the best noob friendly CLI youtube-downloader
[01:04] <Losha> zenlunatic: he's gonna boot the livecd and update it every time he boots? That's sort of non-optimal...
[01:04] <ganjaman420> lol, not necessarily always the train :P that was an example xD
[01:04] <xuli> maus3701: ffmpeg
[01:04] <ganjaman420> only takes about 2 mins to update everythin to my needs
[01:04] <BluntObject> rall: Suggest you check the manufacturer's web site
[01:04] <zenlunatic> ganjaman420: no one does that so good luck figuring it out
[01:04] <masu3701> ?
[01:04] <Neezer> mcphail, thanks I'll check it out. I've also heard good things about rsync
[01:04] <underdev> rosco_y: i enjoy taskcoach... a little broken, but the best i've found
[01:04] <goddard> bastid_ra what is it?
[01:05] <teio> and also whats the command to clean the system ? unused packages ect
[01:05] <mcphail> Neezer: rsnapshot is a wrapper for rsync. Keeps everything simple
[01:05] <Linear_Key> how can i disable mouse in gnome-terminal? i want to select text / etc instead of the program running getting the signal
[01:05] <zenlunatic> ganjaman420: it probably can be done, but dont expect lots of hits
[01:05] <rosco_y> underdev: Thank you very much--I'm going to give it a try right now!
[01:05] <masu3701> what can i use to convert .flv into mp3?
[01:05] <Neezer> mcphail, what is a wrapper?
[01:05] <rall> ok ill do that, thanks BluntObject,  and god night to everybody
[01:05] <bastid_raZor> goddard: look it up on acers site. it is a 15" laptop.
[01:05] <mcphail> Neezer: a program which calls rsync with useful default options
[01:05] <underdev> rosco_y: it allows you to build trees of subtasks, very helpful to me
[01:06] <goddard> bastid_ra Oh I dont know what you said
[01:06] <goddard> bastid_ra what laptop was it?
[01:06] <bastid_raZor> goddard: acer aspire 5515
[01:06] <Neezer> mcphail, cool. I am reading about it right now. thanks a bunch.
[01:06] <Losha> Neezer: no shortage of backup solutions, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem
[01:07] <Matisse> and whats the problem if the flash plugin crashes very often?
[01:08] <Losha> masu3701: I convert them to avi's using handbrake. Not sure about mp3s though...
[01:08] <rosco_y> underdev: It sounds like something I can use, thank you!
[01:08] <smokealot> Matisse: flash was made to crash!
[01:09] <Neezer> how long does it take to format a 1TB USB drive?
[01:09] <Linear_Key> what? you have a 1TD usb drive?
[01:09] <knoppies> Neezer, not long if you use an ubuntu liveCD.
[01:09] <Neezer> TB
[01:09] <goddard> bastid_ra how much you want?
[01:09] <mcphail> Neezer: not too long
[01:10] <brandonban6> hey all... I have a music share on a second HDD, I'm trying to get ubuntu to create a symlink from the default music folder to my music share... i.e. ln -s /path/to/musicshare /home/user/Music only creates a symlink inside Music, where I want to turn Music into the symlink
[01:10] <Matisse> smokealot, i aint sure if that makes sense... :)
[01:10] <Losha> Neezer: it can take a while depending on the drive speed. 20 minutes or so...
[01:10] <w0rd> so if I do an include for a file with php and html to display contents, so I need to start the file with php tags in the very top?
[01:10] <Neezer> Losha, thanks...it is a pretty slow computer too. 1.7 GHZ P IV.
[01:10] <Digit0> hello
[01:10] <Neezer> OLD
[01:10] <Neezer> hello
[01:11] <Losha> Neezer: using gparted?
[01:11] <Neezer> Losha, yes
[01:11] <teio> anyone used ttv?
[01:11] <Digit0> Im trying to install ubuntu on a macbook
[01:11] <Digit0> but the sound is not working at all
[01:11] <Losha> Neezer: I can't remember if gparted gives you a progress bar or not...
[01:11] <Neezer> It just has a bar that oscillates back at forth.
[01:12] <Neezer> and a 0 of 1 operations complete.
[01:12] <brandonban6> n/m figured it out... rm Music, then create the sym link to Music :)
[01:12] <mcphail> Neezer: it'll get there. it is a big drive
[01:12] <Losha> Neezer: it will complain if something goes wrong. No news is good news...
[01:12] <Spadros> hey
[01:12] <IdleOne> what is the command to force eject the cd tray?
[01:12] <Spadros> I'm having some problems with my wireless adapter
[01:13] <BluntObject> IdleOne: eject dvd
[01:13] <Spadros> I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an iMac 5g
[01:13] <blendmaster1024> ;/join #debian
[01:13] <Neezer> Losha, thanks you too mcpahil. I always worry about these sorts of things
[01:13] <BluntObject> IdleOne: Or if that fails, try: eject cdrom
[01:13] <blendmaster1024> shoot sorry
[01:13] <asdff> I can no longer log into an xfce4 session, it automatically takes me back to the login screen. It was working yesterday and I don't recall doing anything to alter my system. I am in an openbox session atm. Anyone help :S?
[01:13] <asdff> Under Karmic*
[01:13] <IdleOne> BluntObject: neither is working
[01:14] <Spadros> can someone help me get my wireless adapter to work with Ubuntu 9.04 on an iMac 5g?
[01:14] <Losha> Neezer: formatting is one of the more anxiety-ridden operations. The risk of losing data is minimal if there are no other partitions on the disk though...
[01:14] <sick_time> hye all i am using linuxmint 8 everytime i mount a windows drive it asks me password previouly i had linuxmint 7 based on ubuntu 9.04 which remembers the password how to do that in linuxmint 8
[01:14] <Neezer> Losha, no other data on the disk...brand new
[01:14] <IdleOne> !mintsupport > sick_time
[01:14] <bazhang> sick_time, mint is not supported here
[01:14] <BluntObject> IdleOne: Use a sledgehammer instead. It does not cause the disk to be ejected but it does bring a great sense of power
[01:14] <IdleOne> lol
[01:14] <Losha> Neezer: yeah, that's why none of *us* were worried...
[01:15] <Spadros> Guys?
[01:15] <Spadros> should I go somewhere else?
[01:15] <asdff> I can no longer log into an xfce4 session, it automatically takes me back to the login screen. It was working yesterday and I don't recall doing anything to alter my system. I am in an openbox session atm. Anyone help, I am running Karmic.
[01:15] <IdleOne> !wifi | Spadros
[01:15] <Neezer> Losha, thanks...I kinda figured. I did a resize and a partition on a drive with data that I wanted on it, and it was stressful to say the least.
[01:15] <Spadros> thanks
[01:15] <kongove> hello all
[01:15] <Losha> Neezer: the answer to that is backups :-)
[01:16] <IdleOne> !hi | kongove
[01:16] <Neezer> Losha, hence the new drive :)
[01:16] <Losha> Neezer: excellent...
[01:17] <kongove> how about compile the lastest kernel(v2.6.32-rc8) on ubuntu9.10?
[01:17] <kongove> ubottu: is this stable enough ?
[01:17] <IdleOne> kongove: how about it?
[01:18] <IdleOne> give it a shot and see :)
[01:18] <asdff> I can no longer log into an xfce4 session, it automatically takes me back to the login screen. It was working yesterday and I don't recall doing anything to alter my system. I am in an openbox session atm. Anyone help, I am running Karmic.
[01:18] <IdleOne> BluntObject: man eject is useless :/
[01:18] <underdev> asdff: sorry, only have used gnome/kde
[01:19] <kongove> underdev: so did I
[01:19] <asdff> underdev: I don't think it is session specific. The same thing happens when I try to run a Gnome/Openbox session.
[01:20] <Melwasul> hello everyone.
[01:20] <kongove> hello Melwasul
[01:20] <Melwasul> Ive got an irc question..using xchat, but it does have to do with ubuntu, i think
[01:20] <goddard> bastid_ra how much you want?
[01:20] <asdff> Melwasul: just ask it man
[01:21] <underdev> asdff: so you can'
[01:21] <underdev> t login?
[01:21] <Melwasul> I'm looking for a completely customizable bot for a channel, and i cant find one.
[01:21] <bastid_raZor> goddard: i don't want to sell mine. i was suggesting a laptop for you to buy
[01:21] <goddard> oh I see
[01:21] <Melwasul> looking for one where i can make it "learn" a bunch of things, its for a game, going to have price checks and stuff on it
[01:21] <underdev> Melwasul: eggdrop?
[01:21] <Melwasul> eggdrop is giving me many a issue.. got it installed and everything, but wont run
[01:22] <wilsonj> how does one go about adding an entry into grub2?
[01:22] <wilsonj> I can't even get it to come up at boot
[01:22] <smokealot> Matisse: you said "and whats the problem if the flash plugin crashes very often?"
[01:22] <xfact> hello
[01:22] <Melwasul> hello there.
[01:23] <xfact> I have the default alsa driver for ubuntu
[01:23] <smokealot> the answer is there is no problem its made to "crash" it will "crash" you cant stop it from "crashing"
[01:23] <Matisse> smokealot, yes
[01:23] <Losha> smokealot: such an odd question. Anything that malfunctions 'very often' is a complete annoyance...
[01:23] <Neezer> YESSSSSSSSS All operations successfully completed! thanks mcphail, and Losha
[01:23] <xfact> But I am confused that Why Kde based apps not supporting that tho?
[01:23] <Losha> Neezer: very cool...
[01:23] <asdff> I have an annoying beep that happens in xterm when I backspace too much. By typing 'xset b 0 0 0; xset b off' I can turn this beep off, is there anyway to automate this? I tried blocking some module from loading ala a guide but it didn't work lol.
[01:23] <Neezer> Losha, quick question, how come there are 14.8 GB used on the drive?
[01:24] <underdev> btw everyone: although the 10.04 beta1 desktop iso didn't install under virtualbox, i have alt up and running now... miss the orange :)
[01:24] <Neezer> can that still be all the windows crap that the drive comes with?
[01:24] <smokealot> Losha: it is flash crashes often on windows and linux i dont know why everything needs it
[01:24] <caseys> hi
[01:24] <Losha> Neezer: welcome to the world of disk formats. The formatting itself entails overhead which takes up disk space. It's normal I'm afraid...
[01:24] <Melwasul> anyone know how to fix eggdrop? ive got it where it tries to load, but it doesnt want to load the config file..
[01:24] <mcphail> Neezer: space reserved for root, filesystem overhead etc
[01:25] <Melwasul> if anyones got any answers on, feel free to pm me.
[01:25] <mcphail> Neezer: you can reclaim the space reserved for root if you need it
[01:25] <gardar> !hello | caseys
[01:25] <underdev> Melwasul: there is an eggdrop channel
[01:25] <Melwasul> really? hm.. guess i can try buggin them
[01:25] <caseys> what is the command to delete a folder?
[01:26] <Melwasul> so there is. thanks!
[01:26] <mcphail> caseys: rmdir
[01:26] <Losha> asdff: add the xset to your .login or .bashrc so it runs every time you login
[01:26] <underdev> Melwasul: i am a tcl programmer, so we redirect to there a few times a day from the tcl channel :)
[01:26] <caseys> exaple?
[01:26] <asdff> Losha: cheers ima do that
[01:26] <gardar> caseys, rm -r
[01:26] <Melwasul> ah, i see lol.
[01:26] <Neezer> mcpahil, don't need it....is the command to change permission so I can write to it without sudo chmod 777 /home/nathan/Storage
[01:27] <Melwasul> well, its a bit dead in there, but ill keep tryin. ill stick around in case i need something else.
[01:27] <Neezer> caseys, be VERY careful with rm -r
[01:27] <Losha> smokealot: there are historical reasons for why flash took over the world...
[01:27] <Neezer> caseys, It will not ask if you are sure, and you can really screw things up
[01:27] <Trek> caseys, be VERY VERY careful with rm -r, because you can kill everything with it
[01:27] <casemods> Hello. Wondering the best way to go about using a USB drive to live run ubuntu
[01:27] <Spadros> Hey guys. So I went to the troubleshooting for wifi on the website, and basically I discovered that my network adapter is disabled. I'm on an iMac 5g. Any suggestions on what to do?
[01:27] <gardar> rm -rf is even more dangerous
[01:27] <mcphail> Neezer: if you want, or try "sudo chown nathan:nathan /home/nathan/Storage"
[01:28] <asdff> Losha: I am using xterm which loads .Xdefaults, do you know how to add commands to that? like would xset b 0 0 0 work, as the syntax is particular in that file
[01:28] <caseys> what about rmdir?
[01:28] <mcphail> Neezer: but mount the disk first
[01:28] <Trek> gardar: too true, but sudo rm -rf *.* is even more dangerous.   DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND!
[01:28] <Trek> !danger
[01:28] <gardar> :)
[01:28] <mcphail> caseys: rmdir will only delete an empty folder
[01:28] <chili555> Spadros, is it disabled because the switch or button is off?
[01:28] <caseys> thats what i need
[01:29] <Spadros> No. There is no on and off switch for the adapter on it.
[01:29] <Neezer> mcphail, I have mounted it, and am in the process of copying my Pictures, Movies, Videos, and .ssh folders over to the drive.
[01:29] <Losha> asdff: you can't add xset to the .Xdefaults file, it has to go in .bashrc or .login. Sorry...
[01:29] <Neezer> after my fresh install tonight, I'll be setting up a true backup system with something.
[01:30] <mcphail> Neezer: result. Enjoy.
[01:30] <paranoid_pedlar> anyone know of a easy tutorial for weechat?
[01:30] <asdff> Losha: hm does xterm accept data from .bashrc and .Xdefault?
[01:30] <chili555> Spadros, is a driver associated with it in lshw -C network?
[01:30] <caseys> i nned some help with email
[01:30] <psusi> saying *.* is more typing that needed, and excludes files that do not have a . in the name ;)
[01:30] <paranoid_pedlar> I'm having a tough time configuring it
[01:30] <fredfall> Do i need some kind of firewall when i run a web server on a Ubuntu-machine?
[01:31] <smokealot> Losha: do you have a link with those reasons?
[01:31] <Spadros> It says that the driverversion is 2.3, so I assume so. I
[01:31] <knoppies> fredfall, someone suggested I use smoothwall, but idk. Im no expert.
[01:31] <gardar> just use iptables fredfall
[01:31] <psusi> fredfall, for?
[01:31] <greezmunkey> fredfall: no
[01:31] <knoppies> gardar, do you have any suggestions with iptables?
[01:31] <mcphail> fredfall: firewall is "built in" as such
[01:31] <Neezer> mcphail Losha, thanks for the help you two. that's why ubuntu is pretty awesome!!! and now I know how to do this!!!
[01:31] <Spadros> I'm not sure if this is relevent, but when I plugged my modem into the iMac Ubuntu also couldn't connect to the internet.
[01:31] <caseys> i got Ssmtp and mailx installed and i have a program that should send me a alert but it doesn't and i need help getting it to
[01:31] <Losha> asdff: if you're running the default configuration, ~/.bashrc is a good place to put your xset commands...
[01:31] <fredfall> ok, thanks for all answars
[01:31] <Losha> smokealot: let me look...
[01:32] <gardar> knoppies, make your custom iptables... it's fun :)
[01:32] <v3n0x> hello?
[01:32] <gardar> !hello | v3n0x
[01:33] <asdff> Losha: I think it worked, opening a new instance didn't raise any errors from .bashrc
[01:33] <Spadros>  It says that the driverversion is 2.3, so I assume so.
[01:33] <asdff> Losha: so thanks*.
[01:33] <asdff> I have an annoying beep that happens in xterm when I backspace too much. By typing 'xset b 0 0 0; xset b off' I can turn this beep off, is there anyway to automate this? I tried blocking some module from loading ala a guide but it didn't work lol.
[01:33] <asdff> damnit ignore that ^
[01:33] <asdff> underdev: I don't think it is session specific. The same thing happens when I try to run a Gnome/Openbox session.
[01:33] <asdff> AH fail!
[01:33] <chili555> Spadros, what driver it it?
[01:34] <overshard> My brightness function keys do not work in Lucid Beta 1. They worked in Karmic, I see there is a very long bug report for it on launchpad already but not real solutions. Anyone know of a quick way to adjust brightness since the keys do not work?
[01:34] <Spadros> uh, it says driver=bridge driversersion=2.3. Does that help or am I looking at the wrong thing?
[01:34] <overshard> Also, the Brightness applet doesn't seem to work either.
[01:34] <gardar> overshard, what happens when you add the brightness applet to the panel?
[01:34] <gardar> oh
[01:35] <chili555> Spadros: a b43-something?
[01:35] <asdff> I can no longer log into an xfce4 session, it automatically takes me back to the login screen. It was working yesterday and I don't recall doing anything to alter my system. I am in an openbox session atm. Can anyone help, I am running Karmic.
[01:35] <caseys> i got Ssmtp and mailx installed and i have a program that should send me a alert but it doesn't and i need help getting it to
[01:35] <dominickpastore> i've got this line in a script run by cron: "ssh -q -N -R *:17564:localhost:22<EMAIL_ADDRESS>&>> /home/user/log &" (with correct usernames, etc). the process seems to die immediately, and nothing goes to the log. the script works when run manually. does anyone know what's going on?
[01:36] <Losha> smokealot: I can't find the article I wanted, but it gets discussed pretty frequently and even causes flamewars. See e.g. http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/2006/06/flash-video-everywhere-but-still-not-bigger-than-wmf/
[01:36] <Random832> overshard; ls /proc/acpi/video/*/*/brightness
[01:36] <Spadros> for the network controller, yeah
[01:37] <Losha> caseys: hi, so you got ssmtp configured finally?
[01:37] <Spadros> b43-pci-bridge
[01:37] <caseys> Losha: yes i tryed gmail and got it to work
[01:37] <dominickpastore> caseys: are you mailing it to an email address issued by your isp?
[01:38] <Losha> caseys: very good. What is the mailx line in your script that you use. Wanna pastebin that part of the script?
[01:38] <chili555> Spadros, Broadcoms need firmware to work . if you have an ethernet connection, you can probably get it going in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[01:38] <smokealot> Losha: thanks for the link
[01:38] <Spadros> it says that I have the drivers installed
[01:38] <jkd4> how do you change the color of your terminal screen?
[01:38] <MaT-dg> How to make IRC links (irc://irc.domain.com:port/channel) open with xchat?
[01:38] <caseys> Losha: its got some parts to it sould i do them script or in one pastabin?
[01:38] <Spadros> and activated
[01:38] <Losha> smokealot: sorry it's not a better article. Poke around in google...
[01:39] <overshard> Random832, ls: cannot access /proc/acpi/video/*/*/brightness: No such file or directory
[01:39] <mcphail> dominickpastore: is your script hanging waiting for a password? Why the & before the >>?
[01:39] <chili555> Spadros: what does   rfkill list say?
[01:39] <Random832> overshard, well that's all i've got
[01:39] <caseys> or bimg
[01:39] <jkd4> how do you change the color of your terminal screen?
[01:39] <kongove> MaT-dg: configure the Network list
[01:39] <Losha> caseys: let's start with just the lines surrounding the mailx command...
[01:39] <Spadros> how do I check rfkill?
[01:39] <StopSign> anyone got a wireless printer working in 9.10 64bit
[01:39] <paranoid_pedlar> can someone help me setup weechat?
[01:39] <caseys> Losha: let me look
[01:40] <chili555> Spadros: in a terminal: rfkill list
[01:40] <Neezer> I am transferring a LOT of stuff to an external drive, and it seems slow...I have 3 transfers going at once...one at 2.2 MB/s, one at 1.9 MB/s, and one at 2.5 MB/s. I thought it should be faster than that.
[01:40] <mcphail> Neezer: that's usb for you
[01:40] <gardar> sata and usb Neezer ?
[01:40] <Spadros> it says command not found
[01:41] <MaT-dg> kongove: the idea is to open them directly instead of manually adding the network and then joining the channel
[01:41] <amstan> hey guys, how do i execute something with the 32bit version of java(ia32-sun-java6-bin)
[01:41] <dominickpastore> mcphail: it shouldn't be. i set up public key auth in both directions. and the command works when i run it manually. the & is to redirect stderr as well as stdout
[01:41] <Gibby> Anyone using nxserver?
[01:41] <Neezer> gardar, I'm not sure what kind of drive it is...it is just an external 1TB drive...
[01:41] <lop> o/
[01:41] <Neezer> gardar, just USB, no sata connection or anything.
[01:42] <mcphail> dominickpastore: surely the command to redirect stderr is 2>&1 ?
[01:42] <chili555> Spadros: Network Manager will not enable wireless if wired is active. have you tried with ethernet detached?
[01:42] <Neezer> I thought USB 2.0 was like 12 MB/s
[01:42] <gardar> probably sata since it's 1tb
[01:42] <lop> .-.
[01:42] <Spadros> yeah, I have
[01:42] <Losha> Neezer: did you say you have an older motherboard. If it's usb 1.1, then it only does about 1.5 to 12 Mbpps...
[01:42] <Spadros> its not connecting even when I'm connected through ethernet
[01:43] <kosst> slow
[01:43] <caseys> Losha: what fi mean?
[01:43] <chili555> Spadros: when you click Network Manager, is Enable Wireless  checked off?
[01:43] <Neezer> Losha, it is older, but when I was in college maybe 2004, the original one fried, so I got a new one. It is usb 2.0.
[01:43] <dominickpastore> mcphail: i can try that if you think it'll work, but i verified that &>> works too just now. the benefit is that it redirects stdout too, avoiding the need for 2 redirects.
[01:43] <mcphail> Neezer: are you copying from the command line or from Nautilus?
[01:44] <casemods> anyone have a link for ubuntu torrent?
[01:44] <mcphail> dominickpastore: ok - the syntax is foreign to me
[01:44] <chili555> Spadros: maybe the modem is not able to get an IP address?
[01:44] <Gibby> i installed the client, node and server on 9.10 and client on xp, but xp will not connect to server, I get authenication for user nx failed
[01:44] <Losha> caseys: fi ?
[01:44] <Neezer> but the drive says 480Mbits/s, I guess divided by 8 that is 6 MB/s
[01:44] <nightsjammies> I've just gotten ahold of a gateway gp7-800 with 128meg ram. any suggestions as to different distros I should consider
[01:44] <Neezer> mcphail, Nautilus
[01:44] <Neezer> is using cp faster?
[01:44] <Losha> caseys: Do you mean if .... fi in a script?
[01:44] <tehbaut> is there a way to refresh Grub to show more boot options (like when I've plugged in a USB drive) ?
[01:44] <nightsjammies> 60 mb/s
[01:45] <bastid_raZor> casemods: look at http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[01:45] <caseys> Losha: yes
[01:45] <mcphail> Neezer: very often, yes.
[01:45] <h4ck3rk1ng> hello
[01:45] <h4ck3rk1ng> what is up?
[01:45] <dominickpastore> mcphail: i did notice it's syntax specific to bash. it doesn't work in the default dash. i did add a #!/bin/bash though, so that's not the problem either.
[01:45] <leagris> 2.2 + 2.5 + 1.0 it is like 6.6Mb, add track seek lattency overhead as you write several files at once, att that the drive does not write cache and probably write in synk as of default settings for external drive. This is not that bad after all Neezer
[01:45] <Spadros> where is Network Manager?
[01:45] <h4ck3rk1ng> i have a prolem i need help with
[01:45] <h4ck3rk1ng> can anyone help me?
[01:45] <Losha> caseys: fi is like a closing bracket for an if statement. if <test> then <body> fi
[01:45] <Neezer> mcphail, well, it should be done by morning, so I'll let it go.
[01:45] <Spadros> chili555: how would I fix that?
[01:45] <h4ck3rk1ng> cock
[01:45] <chili555> Spadros: an icon at the top right
[01:45] <nightsjammies> anyone help with the smaller linux distros for 128 megs of ram?
[01:46] <Neezer> leagris, thanks...I guess there is a lot of overhead that I just didn't think about.
[01:46] <h4ck3rk1ng> i can
[01:46] <h4ck3rk1ng> @nightsjammies i can
[01:46] <Spadros> it says that networking is enabled
[01:46] <h4ck3rk1ng> its called damn small linux
[01:46] <mcphail> Neezer: when you start using an rsync-based backup solution, only your first backup will be slow. Subsequent ones will take a few seconds
[01:46] <clickme> hi everyone, does anyone know what the equivalent of ping -a is in ubuntu
[01:46] <nightsjammies> I've just gotten ahold of a gateway gp7-800 with 128meg ram. any suggestions as to different distros I should consider
[01:46] <chili555> Spadros: it probably looks like two monitors with a red X
[01:46] <nightsjammies> okay. is it 'buntu or something else?
[01:46] <Losha> nightsjammies: what h4ck3rk1ng said...
[01:46] <xangua> nightsjammies: maybe lubuntu, is still beta
[01:46] <casemods> what are the differences in releases??? I mostly just use utorrent, VLC, thunderbird, firefox
[01:47] <nightsjammies> okay.
[01:47] <chili555> Spadros: do you see networks to select?
[01:47] <h4ck3rk1ng> UM IS ANY1 LESTENING?
[01:47] <Losha> nightsjammies: there's 'puppy linux' too...
[01:47] <h4ck3rk1ng> USE DMAN SMALL LINUX
[01:47] <Spadros> no
[01:47] <h4ck3rk1ng> AND PUPPY LINUX< WICH SUCKS
[01:47] <xangua> !caps | h4ck3rk1ng
[01:47] <nightsjammies> ...
[01:47] <h4ck3rk1ng> sorry
[01:47] <bazhang> h4ck3rk1ng, stop that
[01:47] <h4ck3rk1ng> i will
[01:47] <Losha> h4ck3rk1ng: stop shouting. And get used to being ignored. Happens all the time here...
[01:47] <clickme> i'm trying to get the IP of a host PC
[01:47] <leagris> Neezer external drive has Filesystème operate in sync mode as to preseve integrity in case it is unplugged too early. This disable caching by the operating system
[01:47] <h4ck3rk1ng> wow
[01:48] <mcphail> dominickpastore: where did you add #!/bin/bash?
[01:48] <h4ck3rk1ng> everyone:
[01:48] <bastid_raZor> clickme: ifconfig  will list things
[01:48] <Gibby> can anyone help with nxserver?
[01:48] <Neezer> thanks leagris
[01:48] <clickme> bastid_raZor: for a remote pc?
[01:48] <bastid_raZor> clickme: oh, no.. on your machine.
[01:48] <caseys> Losha: i can't find the mailx command but i think this is the email script http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/HsYY6M2t
[01:48] <juboba> hye
[01:49] <dominickpastore> caseys: i might be joining in the middle of something, so i don't know your whole situation, and i apoligize if this doesn't apply at all. many email servers block mail from dynamic ip's as an antispam measure.
[01:49] <Losha> Neezer: I agree with leagris. The published speeds are all marketing sophistry. Like car mileage ratings...
[01:49] <Neezer> Losha, I see...well, it'll get done, and that's what counts.
[01:49] <caseys> i have sent some email that have gone thorught
[01:49] <dominickpastore> mcphail: the #! were my first 2 characters
[01:50] <bastid_raZor> clickme: you said 'host pc' which indicated one you were on.
[01:50] <caseys> its the alert script is not working
[01:50] <compuman> is there a way to have a Partition automatically mount at boot?
[01:50] <chico> hola q pasa
[01:50] <mcphail> compuman: add it to /etc/fstab
[01:50] <juboba> does anyone know how to change firefox's spelling language?
[01:50] <bastid_raZor> !fstab | compuman yes.. follow the link here for a how-to
[01:50] <Neezer> compuman, yes. you have to add it to the fstab
[01:51] <clickme> bastid_raZor: sorry
[01:51] <xangua> chico: do you have any ubuntu related question¿
[01:51] <compuman> how
[01:51] <leagris> Losha, Neezer USB bus speed is shared among the controler tree. 2 USB ports share the same bandwidth. If you add hubs behind, any all the peripherials share bandwidth. And more badly, if by event one of the peripherial is not USB 2.0 complyent, the all buss downgrade to the lesser common speed among connected devices :/
[01:51] <Losha> caseys: yes, the mail command is on line 37. It looks ok. Check in /var/log/mail.log and see if there is a log of the script sending email...
[01:51] <clickme> bastid_raZor: i meant remote pcs IP
[01:51] <mcphail> dominickpastore: i really don't understand where you are putting the shebang. What is the relevant line in your crontab?
[01:51] <xangua> juboba: what language¿¿in Gnome: sis> admon> language support
[01:51] <Losha> leagris: Understood. Thanks for the explanation...
[01:51] <bastid_raZor> clickme:  does it have a domain name you could look up?
[01:51] <Gibby> can anyone help with nxserver?
[01:52] <clickme> bastid_raZor: yes
[01:52] <juboba> ??
[01:52] <juboba> xangua: I have my firefox in english
[01:52] <Losha> mcphail: the shebang? Is that an official term?
[01:52] <juboba> but I want the spelling checker to check in spanish
[01:52] <mcphail> Losha: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)
[01:52] <xangua> juboba: then install the spanish languaje
[01:52] <h4ck3rk1ng> masturbate
[01:53] <juboba> xangua: as an addon?
[01:53] <juboba> xangua: I did, but still
[01:53] <bastid_raZor> clickme: from cli i don't know.. but for graphical you could use network tools and do a lookup of the domain name
[01:53] <xangua> juboba: no, i've already told you in System> Admon> Language support
[01:53] <ShermanBoyd> I think the ubuntu-xen-server package is broken in Lucid
[01:53] <compuman> how
[01:53] <clickme> bastid_raZor: uhmmmm i do have the domain name
[01:54] <Losha> hebang_(Unix)
[01:54] <Losha> #ubuntu> oops, pardon my fat fingers...
[01:54] <bastid_raZor> clickme: doing a lookup on the domain name will give you the IP of it
[01:54] <bazhang> ShermanBoyd, #ubuntu+1 for lucid please
[01:54] <dominickpastore> mcphail: oh. let me try to clarify. the crontab runs a script with the command i mentioned earlier. the crontab line is "*/5 * * * * user /usr/local/bin/tunneler.sh"
[01:54] <juboba> xangua: where is that?
[01:54] <xangua> juboba: in your menu
[01:54] <juboba> :O
[01:54] <mcphail> dominickpastore: got you!
[01:55] <clickme> bastid_raZor: problem is it gives me an ip that is not on the pc
[01:55] <ShermanBoyd> bazhang: thank you
[01:55] <juboba> xangua: thanks!
[01:55] <caseys> Losha: i send serverole so i can't tell
[01:55] <Spadros> can someone help me get connected to the internet? I'm on a iMac 5g and I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I'm pretty sure that my problem is that my adapter is disabled. There is no on and off button for the adapter on my computer. Any ideas?
[01:55] <Losha> mcphail: thanks for the link...
[01:55] <bastid_raZor> clickme: what?  you know the ip of the remote box and it is not matching up?
[01:55] <xangua> juboba: you may wanna join #ubuntu-es if you want ubuntu support in spanish
[01:55] <mcphail> dominickpastore: and the script runs perfectly if you type "/usr/locl/bin/tunneler.sh" from the command line as that user?
[01:55] <xangua> !es | juboba

[01:56] <Zoffix> Hey, guys. Have anyone heard of an app that would count the number of clicks you make? I need to know my numbers for a presentation that I'm making. I've searched synaptic - nothing. I've tried googling but all I get are click counters for websites. Any light?
[01:56] <eTrev> Anyone as annoyed as I am at Empathy's IRC capabilites (or lack thereof)
[01:56] <clickme> bas
[01:56] <clickme> bastid_raZor: yes
[01:56] <caseys> Losha: i'l try again
[01:56] <bastid_raZor> clickme: the remote box behind a router?
[01:56] <clickme> bastid_raZor: yes
[01:56] <dominickpastore> mcphail: yeah. and the only thing that seems to not work when run by cron is that one liine. perhaps ssh in cron is a little more complex than otherwise?
[01:56] <juboba> xangua: I don't, just want to check spanish cause I'm learning
[01:57] <Szunti> Hi! I have intel GPU. To make my screen stop flickering i have to: xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native, how can i do it as soon as possible at boot? setting it in xorg.conf would be the best, but i found no way
[01:57] <mcphail> dominickpastore: have you tried running it from the user's crontab rather than root's crontab?
[01:58] <Spadros> can someone help me get connected to the internet? I'm on a iMac 5g and I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I'm pretty sure that my problem is that my adapter is disabled. There is no on and off button for the adapter on my computer. Any ideas?
[01:58] <bastid_raZor> clickme: then the domain name is sending you to the correct ip.. you'll need to portforward on the router to be able to ssh/http whatever ..
[01:58] <dominickpastore> mcphail: no. i'll try that and see what happens.
[01:58] <clickme> bastid_raZor: wow
[01:58] <clickme> bastid_raZor: that blows
[01:58] <mcphail> dominickpastore: i presume the public key is in the user's home directory rather than root's?
[01:59] <Zoffix> Spadros, is it wireless?
[01:59] <dominickpastore> mcphail: yes
[01:59] <Spadros> Zoffix: yeah, but when I plug the ethernet in it also doesn't connect.
[01:59] <Zoffix> Hmr, no clue...
[01:59] <bastid_raZor> clickme: routers have all incoming ports blocked by default.
[01:59] <Spadros> Anybody have any ideas what I should do at all?
[02:00] <clickme> bastid_raZor: i can do it on windows
[02:00] <bastid_raZor> clickme: what are you doing?
[02:00] <mcphail> dominickpastore: cron is a bit unpredicatble when it comes to environment variables. Try running from the user's crontab to see
[02:00] <Szunti> the first time i know i can use the xrand is gdm, can i use it even before that?
[02:01] <clickme> bastid_raZor: well i use to map to the pc using the network option in ubuntu  but now is not working so i was doing it with the ip
[02:01] <paranoid_pedlar> can someone help me with setting up weechat?
[02:02] <Losha> dominickpastore: ssh is normally interactive, Have you tried adding '-n' to the arguments?
[02:02] <caseys> Losha no it didn't send
[02:02] <kopecky> when ubuntu boots it keeps asking me to select the kernel or memory test. how do i get back to normal boot sequence? thanks
[02:02] <caseys> Losha: f
[02:02] <clickme> bastid_raZor: i changed the name of the admin on the remote pc, and i had ubuntu remember everything so i guess it still thinks the old info etc
[02:02] <dominickpastore> mcphail: ok. i tried that. i set it for every minute to test so i'll see what happens.
[02:03] <mcphail> dominickpastore: I think Losha has a good idea above
[02:04] <j3rg> wats up
[02:04] <kopecky> when ubuntu boots it keeps asking me to select the kernel or memory test. how do i get back to normal boot sequence? thanks
[02:04] <j3rg> anyone true Arch Linux before?
[02:04] <caseys> Losha: you there?
[02:05] <Losha> caseys: you need to find out if the mail command is being executed. Can you add a debug command like: echo "`date` Sending mail from $FROM to $TO" >> /tmp/debug.log at line 41 to the script so you can see if it's being executed and with what arguments?
[02:06] <Zoffix> kopecky, does that have a timer and a default option?
[02:06] <caseys> KLosha: i don't follow
[02:06] <kopecky> no timer or default
[02:07] <kopecky> i went in to change my root password and it's been doing this since.
[02:07] <dominickpastore> losha mcphail: ok i added a -n and tried it in the user crontab. neither seems to work
[02:07] <aurilliance> A bible program for ubuntu? I was gonna grab esword, but I realised it's win only and I'd rather not use wine where possible...
[02:07] <mcphail> dominickpastore: out of interest, is there anything in /var/log/auth.log on the target machine to say if the connection is being made?
[02:08] <airtonix> !find bible
[02:08] <sexcopter> hi, sound issues here. Running karmic server on a pc and controlling it through ssh on this laptop in same room. Outputs of things like aplay -l, lspci -v and so on are fine, mixer levels are fine in alsamixer. I don't get any errors, but nor do i get any sound. Any ideas?
[02:08] <kopecky> zoffix, sorry forgot to preface with your name. did you see my replies
[02:08] <Losha> dominickpastore: anything in the log?
[02:08] <bastid_raZor> aurilliance: bible-kjv is nice.
[02:09] <airtonix> sexcopter, use pplay instead
[02:09] <Zoffix> kopecky, yeah, I saw it. No idea what it is you're getting...
[02:09] <mcphail> dominickpastore: I'm wondering if you need to add "nohup" to the command...
[02:09] <airtonix> sexcopter, i mean paplay.
[02:09] <kopecky> ok. thanks
[02:10] <pauljw> aurilliance, isn't gnomesword in the repos?
[02:10] <Losha> caseys: well, either the mail command isn't executed, or it's being executed with the wrong arguments. The line echo "`date` Sending mail from $FROM to $TO" >> /tmp/debug.log will write a line of text to /tmp/debug.log each time it executes. That will tell us if the line is being reached, and what the arguments are...

[02:10] <pepper_haze> hello
[02:10] <pepper_haze> does anyone here know what a .dmg file is?
[02:10] <fr3nzy> Hello guys. I did an apt-get upgrade on my base (command-line only) ubuntu karmic system. After reboot it won't let me login, switching consoles does nothing. I need some help.
[02:10] <aurilliance> airtonix, thanks for that
[02:11] <airtonix> sexcopter, if you are trying to play sound on your laptop from apps running on your desktop i would suggest you look at using avahi and padevchooser
[02:11] <mcphail> pepper_haze: i think is is a MAC image file
[02:11] <ShawnR> so i updated from 9.10 to 10.04 aplha 3 and when i performed updates today, it said it could only do a partial update.  now, i have no desktop (i get wallpaper, but no task bar, Alt+F2 does not work, etc)
[02:11] <caseys> Losha: should i upgarde it too to the new ver?
[02:11] <Middleman> ubuntu 8.10 ; doesnt appear to be using my swap - just eating the ram and top doesnt show full utilization like saidar
[02:12] <greezmun1ey> pepper_haze: Macintosh OS X Disk Copy Disk Image File (Apple Inc.)
[02:12] <pepper_haze> thanks greezmunley
[02:12] <dominickpastore> Losha mcphail: there is a lot of "Mar 20 21:12:01 dcp-server sshd[16593]: Failed password for remoteuser from <IP_ADDRESS> port 41786 ssh2" but with differen ports
[02:12] <pepper_haze> I got the wrong file then
[02:12] <pepper_haze> how do you install shockwave player on firefox?
[02:12] <sexcopter> airtonix, thanks for your suggestion. paplay returns "Failed to open audio file". I want the sound to play on the server, not the laptop. the server has no monitor plugged in.
[02:13] <dominickpastore> mcphail: nohup? what do you mean by that?
[02:13] <sexcopter> airtonix, wait, i tried opening an mp3 with paplay, that was dumb. will try a wav!
[02:13] <airtonix> sexcopter, how did you use papplay ? i assume you pointed it at an audio file ?
[02:13] <Losha> dominickpastore: 'failed password for remoteuser'. That's a clue, no?
[02:13] <ShawnR> so i updated from 9.10 to 10.04 aplha 3 and when i performed updates today, it said it could only do a partial update.  now, i have no desktop (i get wallpaper, but no task bar, Alt+F2 does not work, etc), can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
[02:13] <caseys> Losha: should i upgarde it too to the new ver?
[02:14] <bastid_raZor> ShawnR: go to #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 issues
[02:14] <sexcopter> airtonix, yeah: paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[02:14] <Middleman> why doesnt ubuntu use swap and just eat ram
[02:14] <Middleman> what a pos
[02:14] <Middleman> i got 8gb ram
[02:14] <Losha> caseys: no, add the debug line and see if it gets executed...
[02:14] <dominickpastore> Losha: well, i would think, although i'm still not sure what's causing it since it works when i don't use cron
[02:14] <mcphail> dominickpastore: i was wondering whether your connection was being dumped as soon as the script ended. Backgrounding the commands with "&" doesn't make them persist if the calling shell closes, but adding "nohup" to the command keeps them alive.
[02:14] <sexcopter> airtonix, this time it gave me "Connection failure: Connection refused"
[02:14] <Zoffix> Middleman, so do I... swap is much slower than RAM, so it uses RAM first...
[02:14] <bastid_raZor> Middleman: how are you checking how much RAM is being used?
[02:14] <mcphail> dominickpastore: but it seems as if it is the authetication which is the problem here
[02:14] <Losha> dominickpastore: does it ask for a password when you run it by hand?
[02:14] <pepper_haze> Does anyone know how to install shockwave on ubuntu?
[02:14] <Middleman> free -m , top and saidar
[02:14] <nunya> Middleman: linjux will cache evrything is=t can
[02:15] <pepper_haze> I want to play shockwave games
[02:15] <nunya> arg
[02:15] <nunya> it can
[02:15] <dominickpastore> mcphail: ah. i bet you're onto something.
[02:15] <sexcopter> airtonix, there is a *chance* that it's disabled in the bios, but if that were the case, I wouldn't see it in commands like aplay -l and lspci, right?
[02:15] <Middleman> so this is normal? cause it worries me that all ram is used and i only got 1 vm @ 2gb
[02:15] <airtonix> sexcopter, are you allowing all traffic from your desktops ip to the laptop ?
[02:15] <pepper_haze> Is there a apt install for shockwave?
[02:15] <dominickpastore> Losha: no, it just works silently.
[02:15] <bastid_raZor> Middleman: in free -m ..cached RAM is not used RAM. the more you have cached the better
[02:15] <mcphail> dominickpastore: i don't htink so. Your auth.log suggests that authentication is failing in the first place
[02:15] <tom_> omg
[02:15] <ShawnR> i swear, i honestly don't know why i ever come in here looking for help
[02:16] <Middleman> so if i try to load another vm thats 2gb, it should be ok then and not choke
[02:16] <Losha> dominickpastore: so it's using public key access to login?
[02:16] <ShawnR> always get ignored
[02:16] <tom_> 不懂
[02:16] <dominickpastore> Losha: yes
[02:16] <airtonix> sexcopter, also you'll need to check that pulseaudio is setup and knows about the sound card on its machine (on the desktop)
[02:16] <greezmun1ey> Middleman: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[02:16] <bastid_raZor>  Middleman sorry.. cached RAM is considered used in free ..which gives a false reading.
[02:16] <ShawnR> good way to give ubuntu a good name and community support
[02:16] <Middleman> thanks greezmun1ey
[02:16] <sexcopter> airtonix, not sure what you mean by "allowing all traffic"... both machines reside on a home router, only connection between them (afaik) is through ssh
[02:16] <bastid_raZor> greezmun1ey: i was justing searching my bookmarks for that..
[02:17] <Middleman> yo thats guys, im freakin out a bit
[02:17] <airtonix> sexcopter, firewall. 1. on laptop open firestarter 2. create policy rule : allow all traffic from desktop ip address.
[02:17] <sexcopter> airtonix, i'll take a look at pulseaudio setup... i assume it can be done on the command line
[02:17] <Middleman> lol
[02:17] <pepper_haze> can someone please tell me how to get shockwave on linux?
[02:17] <Melwasul> whoever sent me to the eggdrop channel(forget who) thanks
[02:17] <airtonix> sexcopter, i mention the firewall rules because it maybe setup by default to send sound to the machine connecting to it. just a thought
[02:17] <Losha> dominickpastore: the environment is different when running from cron. I bet it's something to do with accessing the private key when running from cron. Try using -i to explicitly state the path to the users key...
[02:18] <dominickpastore> mcphail: that's true. i'm not sure what's causing the authentication failure though. i'll see what the log says when i run it manually.
[02:18] <airtonix> sexcopter, you might also want to confirm that its running (did you install ubuntu on the desktop with the desktop iso or the server iso ? )
[02:18] <sexcopter> airtonix, I don't have firestarter installed. but this isn't a network issue. only possibility i can think of is it's trying to channel the audio from the server to the laptop (something pulseaudio might do), which I don't want.
[02:18] <mcphail> dominickpastore: try adding "export HOME=/home/user" to the top of your script
[02:19] <pepper_haze> does anyone here know how to get shockwave on ubuntu?
[02:19] <Losha> mcphail: dominickpastore: can't hurt....

[02:20] <Zoffix> !es | saito_
[02:20] <airtonix> sexcopter, ok then i doubt you have pusleaduio installed then.
[02:21] <airtonix> sexcopter, its probably going to be the reason why you can't get sound to work without some hoop jumping
[02:21] <saito_> ubottu, gracias, es soporte, ahorita lo utilizo

[02:22] <caseys> what do i add
[02:22] <dominickpastore> Losha: mcphail: i'll try mcphails idea first, and in the meantime, where might i find the private key? it's not in .ssh

[02:23] <Losha> Add this on line 35 (which is currently blank): echo "`date` Sending mail from $FROM to $TO" >> /tmp/debug.log
[02:24] <clickme> bastid_raZor: thanx to you i was able to find it
[02:24] <mcphail> dominickpastore: should be in .ssh/id_rsa or whatever
[02:24] <Losha> dominickpastore: what files *are* in ~/.ssh ?
[02:24] <bastid_raZor> clickme: glad i could help.

[02:25] <Guest57986> hallooo
[02:25] <caseys> Losha: now do i test it aqgain?
[02:25] <mcphail> dominickpastore: another thought - have you remembered to put a newline at the end of the line in the crontab?
[02:25] <airtonix> sexcopter, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio
[02:25] <Losha> caseys: yes, test it, and then look in /tmp/debug.log

[02:26] <fulld7> a new CD install will not boot because of problem with GRUB and the search with UUID command inside. is there a way for me to solve this?
[02:27] <fulld7> in other news, my ubuntu install is only down to 3 hours this time and the end IS in sight
[02:28] <clickme> Anyone know how to clr samba from previous saved mapped connection
[02:28] <dominickpastore> Losha mcphail: known_hosts is all that's there. although i think i found the private key. and i'm not sure but the script *is* running, because i made xeyes run on my display in the script to be sure.
[02:28] <nunya> fulld7: what happens when it tries to boot?
[02:28] <Losha> dominickpastore: so *where* is the private key?
[02:29] <fulld7> nunya: I get the device not found problem

[02:29] <bastid_raZor> clickme: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComprehensiveSambaGuide   this may help.
[02:30] <nunya> fulld7: does it drop you to the initramfs prompt?
[02:30] <caseys> Losha: there isn't a debug log
[02:30] <Losha> caseys: then line 35 of the script was never executed, which is why you get no email....
[02:31] <caseys> Losha: you want to see the script that excese it
[02:31] <fulld7> no, specifically, I get: error: no such device: ((UUID....)) / Failed to boot ... / Press any key...; and then I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and hold ESC to edit the boot list

[02:31] <clickme> bastid_raZor: on it
[02:32] <dominickpastore> Losha: i have the private key on the jump drive i copied it from (i generated it on a different comp), and used ssh-add to set it up. so i'm not sure where ssh-add put it, but i do know it put it somewhere else.

[02:34] <fulld7> nunya: yes
[02:34] <dominickpastore> mcphail: alright. thanks for all the help. i appreciate it.
[02:34] <Losha> dominickpastore: ok, that explains it. ssh-add copies a private key into *memory* for use by the current process and its children. I believe the cron job will *not* have access to it. You will need to tell ssh which private key to use via the -i flag. ...My theory, by Anne Elk (Miss)...

[02:35] <airtonix> Pengyduckwin, well yes my problem is that i haven't done it yet... but i suppose from your vague cry for help you mean something else. although im am just taking your question literally.
[02:35] <dominickpastore> Losha: aaaah. that sounds like the problem. let me see if that fixes it.

[02:40] <rumpsy> I want to backup my whole system on a weekly basis, how to make ? :)
[02:40] <gardar> rumpsy, check timevault
[02:40] <gardar> or use rsync
[02:41] <airtonix> rumpsy, 1. every friday night insert usb drive 2. open usb drive folder 4. highlight files 5. drag files to usb folder.
[02:41] <davidcramer> Anyone?
[02:41] <caseys> Losha: it says can't open x-
[02:41] <rumpsy> gardar: i need steps to do that
[02:41] <davidcramer> How can I tell it "its ok to override this config file"?
[02:41] <Vailreth> i am currently using windows and i have created a new partion on my hard drive i would like to install ubuntu  do i need to format the partion ?
[02:41] <Pengyduckwin> Okay then, Airtonix. I am trying to record a video in Cheese and no microphone is working, and I am wondering if I am the only one with this problem in the chatroom. thank you very much for your glaring, yet unneeded criticisms
[02:41] <airtonix> Vailreth, ubuntu install will provide option during isntallation to do it for you
[02:41] <bastid_raZor> Vailreth: no. empty space is preferred
[02:41] <greezmunkey> Vailreth: That will be offered up on install

[02:43] <clickme> bastid_raZor: yeah the themes in cairo are gone
[02:43] <caseys> Losha: yea it says Syntax error
[02:43] <airtonix> Pengyduckwin, next thing to do is to run cheese from a terminal so that you hopefully get some output in the terminal while trying to record sound
[02:43] <caseys> Losha: you want the pasta bin of it?

[02:45] <davidcramer> i cant find anyway to repalce this collission
[02:45] <dominickpastore> Losha: unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem... i'm thoroughly confused. although, the fact that auth.log said nothing about failed public key authentication does seem to suggest it's having problems finding the key.
[02:45] <davidcramer> and now it has broken dependancies
[02:45] <Pengyduckwin> airtonix: that is the only line there
[02:45] <Vailreth> well i will try again to install thank you.

  I have to reboot the computer 4-5 more times before I have a successful boot.

[02:46] <clickme> Losha: wow hi losha
[02:46] <Logicwax> i know its not the computer hardware, as i trasnfered this installation to another hard disk, and to a brand new PC as well

[02:48] <Losha> caseys: the syntax error is on line 21 of /etc/pwrstatd-email.sh. Please paste /etc/pwrstatd-email.sh
[02:48] <Logicwax> somewhere that might show what happened when i see those freezes at the logo

[02:49]  * el_acosador_Drag is away: modo #beber
[02:49] <Losha> dominickpastore: glad it got solved...
[02:49] <[[Al]]> its only for ubuntu questions?
[02:49] <davidcramer> Can anyone please help me w/ solving a dependancy issue? I tried install a package which needs to overwrite /etc/mysql/my.cnf, and it fails, and i cant figure out how to resolve the dependancy now
[02:49] <caseys> Losha: here?
[02:49] <Pengyduckwin> airtonix, the default input says "custom" with options to choose ALSA, OSS, or PA. I'm guessing ALSA may be best?
[02:49] <digitalfiz> how can i change the login screen in karmic?
[02:49] <airtonix> Pengyduckwin, pusleaudio
[02:49] <Losha> caseys: to 'pasta' bin...
[02:49] <ragsagar> when I am trying to boot my gnu/linux installations in hd1 from grub ' Error Selected disk does not exist ' appears
[02:49] <gardar> !hello | [[Al]]
[02:49] <nunya> davidcramer: can you move the file before installing?
[02:49] <airtonix> Pengyduckwin, make sure you use the test button
[02:50] <davidcramer> nunya: the issue is it conflicts with another package
[02:50] <davidcramer> e.g. mysql-common places it there, i need both packages
[02:50] <[[Al]]> thank you very much ^_^
[02:50] <igoryonya> how do you restart a soundcard drivers without rebooting computer?
[02:51] <airtonix> igoryonya, assuming you are using 9.10 and gnome ?
[02:51] <nunya> davidcramer: ah ok. can you install each package seperatly?
[02:51] <underdev> ubuntu 10.04 is hideous btw
[02:51] <airtonix> igoryonya, http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1890/fix-ubuntus-broken-sound-server
[02:51] <igoryonya> airtonix: 8.10 and gnome
[02:51] <ragsagar> output of fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/SXrwu9iZ
[02:51] <Pengyduckwin> airtonix, the test button (and anything else) ends with the error "PulseAudio Sound Server: Failed to connect: Connection refused"
[02:52] <igoryonya> airtonix, maybe, there is some command line?
[02:52] <davidcramer> nunya: the problem is I end up w/ this: trying to overwrite `/etc/mysql/my.cnf', which is also in package mysql-common
[02:52] <airtonix> igoryonya, you need to say this in yoru intitial question thanks!
[02:52] <bastid_raZor> clickme: their site says to run cairo-dock -S themes.glx-dock.org    ..but it didn't seem to do much for me.. possibly it will add some themese for you.
[02:52] <paranoid_pedlar> is there a preference for gnome or gtk to be written with python?
[02:52] <clickme> bastid_raZor: wow thnx
[02:52] <Pengyduckwin> airtonix: OSS appears to be the only working option
[02:52] <bastid_raZor> clickme: yes, it added several themes for me.
[02:52] <casemods> has any body used wubi/.
[02:53] <underdev> casemods: yes
[02:53] <airtonix> Pengyduckwin, try that then. cheese is based on gstreamer.
[02:53] <casemods> does it erase the partition?
[02:53] <underdev> casemods: quite a few of us, i would imagine :)
[02:53] <clickme> bastid_raZor: how many themes
[02:53] <Losha> underdev: you're no oil-painting yourself...
[02:53] <nunya> davidcramer: I'm actually not sure how to fix that
[02:53] <paranoid_pedlar> it seems it's more rapid than ruby or mono. I understand the not using mono bit, but why not ruby?
[02:53] <underdev> casemods: no, it actually creates a file on your windows partition
[02:53] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, python-gtk
[02:54] <casemods> ok sweet
[02:54] <caseys> Losha: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Rs6igG1c
[02:54] <underdev> Losha: i know that's right
[02:54] <bastid_raZor> clickme: not sure exactly how many.. about 10 or so
[02:54] <casemods> what would you recommend i set the size to?
[02:54] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, apt-cache search python | grep gnome (or gtk)
[02:54] <underdev> substandard even by linux-geek standards :)
[02:54] <paranoid_pedlar> airstrike, is it better to learn python if you want to develop for gnome/gtk environments?
[02:54] <Pengyduckwin> airtonix: Thanks, that worked
[02:54] <davidcramer> cross your fingers for me -- i might have fixed it
[02:55] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, i would recomend you learn C++
[02:55] <underdev> casemods: i would use the torrent to download 9.10 desktop iso, and install from that
[02:55] <nunya> davidcramer: if it works tell me how you did it
[02:55] <underdev> casemods: it will be MUCH quicker
[02:55] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, although if you're just going to be making gui frontends then python is the desired method
[02:55] <paranoid_pedlar> airstrike, isn't that for professionals?
[02:55] <davidcramer> nunya: well to resolve dependancy issues i had to remove using aptitude (vs apt-get), and im uninstalling a ton of packages (mysql-common + deps) so I can install this
[02:55] <paranoid_pedlar> airstrike, you found me :P
[02:56] <Losha> caseys: ok, let's do the same thing. sh -x /etc/pwrstatd-email.sh
[02:56] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, what is a 'professional' ? thinking you dont meet the bar for that scenario is selling yoruself short.
[02:56] <paranoid_pedlar> err airtonix
[02:56] <nunya> davidcramer: ouch, hopefully nothing you need.
[02:56] <casemods> underdev: I had a cd and an updated burned cd but I can't find them anywhere
[02:56] <davidcramer> nunya: nothing I can't just reinstall
[02:56] <nunya> cool
[02:56] <caseys> Losha: ok
[02:57] <paranoid_pedlar> airtonix, well I do, do that. That's why I bought a ruby book. I figured it's easier to learn, and C++ is difficult
[02:57] <underdev> casemods: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt
[02:57] <underdev> you can grab the torrent file from that link
[02:57] <nunya> davidcramer: it's like opening a can of worms doing that sometimes, the list can keep growing.
[02:57] <davidcramer> :)
[02:57] <davidcramer> ya
[02:57] <underdev> (but, as you know, you will have to update a bunch of files afterwards)
[02:58] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, up to you but default ubuntu install has most python libraries... not sure about ruby
[02:58] <davidcramer> now lets see if mysqld will start
[02:58] <davidcramer> damn ><
[02:58] <caseys> Losha: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/RUG9Z8bT
[02:58] <CalmvsKhaos> On Ubuntu 9.10 some reason my fonts are really small when i use other window managers, its fine in gnome though, is there a way to set the fonts so all window managers use same size?
[02:58] <airtonix> CalmvsKhaos, no.
[02:58] <paranoid_pedlar> airtonix, I've believed that C++ need a college engineering diploma to be any good at it.. Is it just as readily learned as other languages?
[02:59] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, it will if you keep thinking like that.
[02:59] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: uh, no
[02:59] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: you would be hard pressed to find a "high-level" language more difficult than C++
[03:00] <davidcramer> any easy way to debug a failing init.d?
[03:00] <bastid_raZor> clickme: i reran the command and it has probably 15 or more themes
[03:00] <CalmvsKhaos> airstrike, darn, i can just set them for each window manager?
[03:00] <casemods> underdev: I only get 70-80kBs max so I doubt it will be any faster but I'lll  use the torrent anyway so it will resume in case my intarwebz goes down
[03:00] <paranoid_pedlar> airtonix, underdev , I have nothing but time on my hands. so it is difficult to learn? I just want to code the shiatsu in my head
[03:01] <airtonix> CalmvsKhaos, i assume you are talking about gnoem and kde ?
[03:01] <CalmvsKhaos> gnome is ok
[03:01] <clickme> bastid_raZor: wow thnx man
[03:01] <Losha> caseys: please stand by...
[03:01] <nunya> davidcramer: maybe sh -x /etc/init.d/mysqld start ?
[03:01] <CalmvsKhaos> airstrike, but lxde fonts too small
[03:01] <caseys> Losha: ok
[03:01] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, ignore all naysayers .. difficulty is a relative term.
[03:01] <airtonix> !ot
[03:01] <underdev> casemods: yeah, then you are limited by your bandwidth
[03:01] <davidcramer> phew ok all in all i think my stuffs working again :D
[03:02] <airtonix> CalmvsKhaos, i have no experience with lxde sorry.
[03:02] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: i mean, if you have the interest and ambition, you can learn C++
[03:02] <CalmvsKhaos> ok
[03:02] <caseys> !ot
[03:02] <davidcramer> Server version: 5.1.43-61.jaunty.16-log (Percona SQL Server (GPL), XtraDB 9.1, Revision 61)

[03:02] <nunya> underdev: you sure can
[03:03] <phil> my first time here
[03:03] <nunya> davidcramer: good!
[03:03] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: but C++ demands much more of a programmer than most modern languages
[03:03] <paranoid_pedlar> airtonix, that's what I was talking about with my friend. Im intimidated. Like when I first learned algebra.it's relative. so if I want to support ubuntu, C++ is the best?
[03:03] <airtonix> !hi | phil
[03:03] <bastid_raZor> clickme: http://www.glx-dock.org/   is their webpage.. some useful info there. also check their wiki. a link is on that page

[03:03] <gardar> !hello | helgikrs
[03:04] <extor> Is it possible to PXE install ubuntu server on a headless box where your initrd makes sure that a ssh,rdp or vnc daemon is started up right after the PXE boot? I don't have console or KVM access to this box
[03:04] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, to start with i would use python (its where im at), then if you want to make real programs... move to c++
[03:04] <helgikrs> gardar: o.O
[03:04] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: you have to, for instance, manage memory in C++
[03:04] <clickme> bastid_raZor: ok checking it out
[03:04] <paranoid_pedlar> underdev, that sounds like a good thing
[03:04] <airtonix> paranoid_pedlar, my only issue with python as a primary program provider for ubuntu is that most apps made with python that i;ve used are slow.
[03:04] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: also there are many other types of things you have to account for in C++ that are abstracted...
[03:04] <jamroom> anyone know of a piece of software that allows you to visualize based on microphone input?
[03:05] <casemods> !hi everyone
[03:05] <jamroom> a graphical representation of the mics hehe
[03:05] <airtonix> jamroom, you mean like goom ?
[03:05] <paranoid_pedlar> hi casemods
[03:05] <casemods> !hello | newbie
[03:05] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: okay, it sounds like you want to head for the metal, instead of efficient programming.  In which case, C++ is an excellent choice
[03:07] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: it took a C guy to make a great server infrastructure for javascript.  We scripting language guys depend on guys like you :)
[03:07] <sensae_> I've installed Banshee on 9.10, and my iPod is currently connected. Nautilus properly detects it, but it isn't showing up in Banshee.

[03:08] <airtonix> jamroom, try this in terminal : gst-launch pulsesrc ! audioconvert ! tee ! queue ! monoscope ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink
[03:08] <sensae_> Brenda_McLinux: ls ?
[03:08] <Brenda_McLinux> ah yes, thank you
[03:09] <paranoid_pedlar> underdev, hmm, I do like taking care of others... and it's been said that I have the patience of a saint. and I'm addicted to nicotine and am spamming the channel. Thanks for the advice guys/gals.
[03:09] <clickme> bastid_raZor: ohhhhhh..ok
[03:09] <jamroom> thanks :0
[03:09] <underdev> paranoid_pedlar: i value the fact that i can write an equivalent program serveral orders of magnitude faster than an equivalent C++ programmer.  C++ programmers value the fact that they can write a program that can RUN several orders of magnitudes faster than mine :)
[03:09] <CyberaX2195> underdev: so true :)
[03:10] <nunya> C++ is so messy looking
[03:10] <cdsboy> I'm trying to mount a hard drive but when i do i get "fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy", how to i fix this?
[03:10] <clickme> bastid_raZor: your the best bastid_raZor :p
[03:11] <nunya> cdsboy: you sure it's not already mounted?
[03:11] <bastid_raZor> clickme: i use cairo-dock too.. a huge fan
[03:11] <cdsboy> nunya: 100% sure
[03:11] <EastDallas> I created a bootable USB flash drive using 'USB Startup Disk Creator' and the 32 bit desktop iso.  I would like to use this as my portable OS.  Unfortunately, every time I attempt to install updates via 'Update Manager' the updates install, I am prompted to restart, but the flash drive will no longer boot.  I suspect it may have something to do with a grub update that is installed.  The grub update prompts me as to which device to install
[03:12] <void_pointer> nunya, thank you. You've provided the quote I'm going to start with at tomorrow's developer meeting; "C++ is so messy looking" :)

[03:12] <void_pointer> Neezer, even "/server some.irc.server"
[03:13] <Fandekasp> hi
[03:13] <void_pointer> I guess it worked
[03:13] <nunya> cdsboy: hhmm, see if something isnt trying to use it. maybe "lsof | grep device"
[03:13] <nunya> void_pointer: i started with perl, then learned C, now trying to get C++.
[03:13] <racerd> hey
[03:14] <racerd> i am having a sound issue
[03:14] <racerd> !sound
[03:14] <Fandekasp> If I want to echo only 1 line of a text, I should add "| head -n 1" .. But if I want to echo only 6 words, or 30 caracteres, how should I do ? thank you for your help !
[03:14] <cdsboy> nunya: lsof for both /dev/sde1 (the partition) and /dev/sde has nothing
[03:14] <racerd> my sound keeps stopping
[03:14] <xjds535> Where do we report a problem if the ALSA driver is causing the trouble, as in "it worked in older versions..."

[03:16] <cozziemoto> any solutions rather?
[03:17] <racerd> anyone?
[03:18] <airtonix> Fandekasp, ask in #bash
[03:18] <nunya> Fandekasp: maybe | awk '{print $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6}'
[03:18] <EastDallas> racerd: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

[03:21] <Sattvic> Does anyone know if LAMP comes with Python support out of the box?
[03:21] <urso> I wrong put password and Empathy opened empty. Please, how to solve? Thanks in advance.
[03:22] <Andre_Gondim> Brenda_McLinux, system --> preference -->keyboard
[03:22] <Andre_Gondim> Brenda_McLinux, I guess
[03:22] <xangua> urso: edit and put the right password
[03:22] <EastDallas> Brenda_McLinux: take a look at this http://maketecheasier.com/restore-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntu-jaunty/2009/05/17
[03:23] <dominickpastore> Brenda_McLinux: idk if it's the same in xubuntu, but logging out and back in does it in gnome ubuntu, i believe. someone correct me if i'm wrong.
[03:23] <kuros> Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 9.10 on a Dell Poweredge 2500. It has 6 SCSI HDs, but Ubuntu does not detect any disks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[03:23] <Brenda_McLinux> EastDallas, I will check it out. THank you.
[03:24] <Brenda_McLinux> dominickpastore, thanks, but I need the command. When your X locks up, sometimes you can't get it to log out because of graphical glitches. THanks though.
[03:24] <Brenda_McLinux> Andre_Gondim, I am there, but I have to make the key shortcut manually, and put in the exact command to kill and restart X. That's what I need to know is what the restart X command is. Would you know by chance?
[03:24] <urso> xangua but when I open empathy again he no ask for keyring again :S
[03:25] <dominickpastore> Brenda_McLinux: oh. the way you worded it, i thought you had figure out the command, and just not how to restart x. sorry. i can't help you there since i don't use xfce
[03:25] <Brenda_McLinux> EastDallas, That guide you sent is using an old dontzap command that isn't needed anymore in Ubuntu. Ubuntu has the ability to re-enable the command via the keyboard layout settings. What I need to know is the restart X command, the one I could type in a terminal.
[03:26] <Brenda_McLinux> Ok, let me word this really simple and get the only thing I need. What is the command to restart X. The one you would type in the terminal window?
[03:27] <MozillaGuerrilla> ive been havngtrbl with my ability 2 view available networks, its as if my system's wifi card isn't there
[03:28] <Andre_Gondim> Brenda_McLinux, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgCtrlAltBackspace
[03:29] <MaT-dg> Brenda_McLinux: do you know you can also use ALTGR-printscreen/SYSRQ-K to restart X?
[03:29] <Brenda_McLinux> MaT-dg, what is ALTGR?
[03:30] <MaT-dg> Brenda_McLinux: the right ALT key
[03:30] <IdleOne> Brenda_McLinux: alt+sysrq+k will restart X
[03:30] <teio> has anybody used ttv?
[03:30] <Brenda_McLinux> MaT-dg, ok I am trying that, If I DC you will know it worked. Thanks in advance.
[03:32] <IdleOne> MaT-dg: guess it worked :)
[03:32] <MozillaGuerrilla>  it was shwing the vbox connection but no 802.11broadcom, wen i looked in my devices in xp it didnt have my card listed and i had no wifi ability.nothing in the system tray, then it just appears.
[03:33] <MaT-dg> IdleOne: yep ^^. Say, does it also work with the normal ALT?
[03:33] <void_pointer> MozillaGuerrilla, do you know the name of your wireless adapter? Get a terminal up, and type "sudo iwconfig" to get it. Then type "sudo iwlist <your adapter> scan"
[03:33] <void_pointer> MozillaGuerrilla, so the second command might look like "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan"
[03:33] <IdleOne> MaT-dg: does for me
[03:34] <caseys> Losha: yes
[03:34] <MaT-dg> IdleOne: interresting :) Not going to try right now though :P
[03:34] <IdleOne> MaT-dg: me either
[03:34] <Losha> caseys: I have edited /etc/pwrstatd-email.sh so it runs on ubuntu.  Here is my edited version: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6ACdZXjj
[03:39] <rosco_y> Does anyone know when Lucid Lynx will be released?
[03:39] <IdleOne> !lucid
[03:39] <CalmvsKhaos> 4/29
[03:40] <jimbeam12> ubuntu 10.04 wow when??
[03:40] <CalmvsKhaos> late april
[03:40] <IdleOne> jimbeam12: continue reading :)
[03:40] <digitalfiz> think the bot just said when lol
[03:40] <jimbeam12> cool
[03:40] <digitalfiz> like right after the version number
[03:40] <jimbeam12> iam just getting used to this one
[03:40] <caseys> Losha: what lines have ben changed?
[03:40] <digitalfiz> that maybe someons birthday but im pretty sure its the release date
[03:41] <MozillaGuerrilla> how do i fnd out my adapters name for the sudo run command?
[03:41] <flansuse> When I read "April 29th 2010" I thought to myself "April of NEXT YEAR? Ridiculous!"
[03:41] <Sattvic> Kuros:  Are you trying to install just the server, or the Ubuntu OS too?
[03:41] <kuros> Sattvic: Ubuntu. I have it booting via pxe fine
[03:42] <EastDallas> jimbeam12: rosco_y: Ubuntu Version numbers indicate their release date in the format year.month.  So version 10.04 will be released in April 2010.
[03:42] <MozillaGuerrilla> void_pointer, how do i find out the name to use for the rest of the command?
[03:42] <kuros> Sattvic: I mainly wanted to know if I needed to install some special drivers for the SCSI HDs?
[03:42] <Sattvic> Kuros: so you have it working now?
[03:42] <jimbeam12> thx EastDallas
[03:42] <Losha> caseys: lines 21 thru 34. The syntax was incompatible with bash. Must be written for an old system...
[03:42] <EastDallas> I created a bootable USB flash drive using 'USB Startup Disk Creator' and the 32 bit desktop iso.  I would like to use this as my portable OS.  Unfortunately, every time I attempt to install updates via 'Update Manager' the updates install, I am prompted to restart, but the flash drive will no longer boot.  I suspect it may have something to do with a grub update that is installed.  The grub update prompts me as to which device to install
[03:43] <EastDallas> jimbeam12: np
[03:43] <kuros> Sattvic: Yes, it is installing now. Thank you though
[03:43] <jimbeam12> since i gotten used this forget windows...lol
[03:43] <Sattvic> I have been meaning to install Eucalyptus - are you a server admin?
[03:43] <void_pointer> MozillaGuerrilla, pastebin the result you get from "sudo iwconfig"
[03:44] <kuros> Sattvic: Yeah, but I have no experience with Eucalyptus. That's the clustering software, isn't it?
[03:45] <Sattvic> Elastic- storage
[03:45] <kuros> Ah...it is on my list to play with, when I have time
[03:45] <Sattvic> Installed Eucalyptus: but your username?
[03:46] <void_pointer> EastDallas, yeah, when you do the updates, don't include grub
[03:46] <void_pointer> EastDallas, that's what I do with mine, anyway
[03:46] <kuros> I'm sorry?
[03:46] <Sattvic> Installed Eucalyptus: it mirrors what Amazon's EC2 cloud infrastructure can do - basically dynamic allocation of virtually endless resources
[03:47] <void_pointer> MozillaGueirrill, welcome back big guy
[03:47] <satr> how can i close the system after logout
[03:47] <satr> what i can write to shutdown
[03:47] <void_pointer> satr, uh, you can type "sudo shutdown -h now"
[03:47] <Sattvic> Installed Eucalyptus: oh, just that your username was misleading that you did not have prior experience with Eucalyptus
[03:47] <EastDallas> void_pointer: Using the older version of grub doesn't cause any problems with any of the other updates?
[03:47] <void_pointer> EastDallas, not that I've found
[03:47] <satr> ok good night
[03:48] <void_pointer> EastDallas, if you can be bothered, you can adjust whatever changes the grub update makes. I can never be bothered
[03:48] <MozillaGueirrill> void_pointer, ths is me in the box now(ive gt 1 opn in XP & 1 opn in the box is tht geeked out or wat? okaynow how do i access the pastebin?
[03:48] <EastDallas> void_pointer: I thought that might be the answer, but It's good to hear it from someone else.

[03:49] <fulld7> I borked my httpd.conf // is there a good, general way to replace my config files installed by the apache package?
[03:49] <sudo-ninJa> i have a problem on my laptop, the internet connection has failed
[03:49] <sudo-ninJa> it was working the other day, but now its not.
[03:50] <caseys> Losha: i', going to try it
[03:50] <Sattvic> sudo-ninja: ethernet, usb, or wireless?
[03:50] <Losha> caseys: ok...
[03:50] <sudo-ninJa> i'm running Xubuntu on it... its wireless
[03:50] <Brenda_McLinux> Linux really screwed me this time. I changed the password via command line with the passwd command and now it will not accept the new or old password. How do I fix?
[03:51] <fulld7> Brenda_McLinux: try caps lock?
[03:51] <sudo-ninJa> it looks like all the applications to run a wireless connection are gone
[03:51] <void_pointer> Brenda_McLinux, well, technically, you really screwed linux
[03:51] <MozillaGueirrill> void_pointer, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mxzxG3wP
[03:51] <crackityjones74> any way to move the minimize/x-out buttons to the right side of windows in the new lucid beta?
[03:51] <ppaulhus> not really a linux question but, is it possible that im not able to get some resolutions via DVI that I am able to get via VGA?
[03:51] <Sattvic> sudo-ninja: can you connect with an Ethernet cable to see if it is your OS or your internet service - cable, DSL?
[03:51] <lyrae> skype detects my webcam, but not the mic integrated into it. any thoughts?
[03:51] <sudo-ninJa> Sattvic
[03:51] <lyrae> is there like a package of drivers i can install
[03:51] <sudo-ninJa> oops X_X
[03:51] <lyrae> because it used to detect =(
[03:51] <Brenda_McLinux> void_pointer, thanks. that really was helpful in helping me resolve the issue. Fulld7, I used only numbers for the password :S
[03:51] <sudo-ninJa> Sattvic: unfortunately no
[03:52] <void_pointer> Brenda_McLinux, you are truly welcome
[03:52] <sudo-ninJa> Sattvic: it seems like its missing the applications to connect...
[03:52] <lyrae> how do i know if im running 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu
[03:53] <void_pointer> MozillaGueirrill, no, paste the output from the "sudo iwconfig" command
[03:53] <Sattvic> sudo-ninja: hmm - I know that Linux has had issues with wireless - I try to stay away from it.
[03:53] <Sattvic> sudo-ninja: sorry I cannot help with wireless drivers
[03:53] <sudo-ninJa> Sattvic: yes, but it was working just fine yesterday, im thinking i uninstalled an important application
[03:53] <Brenda_McLinux> void_pointer, why are you here if you aren't helping people? Changing my password in Linux and it not working is not a user end error. The password must be typed in twice and therefor can not be a mistake. That is an OS problem. Not user end. >.>
[03:53] <sudo-ninJa> Sattvic: darn
[03:54] <void_pointer> Brenda_McLinux, but since you wanted to pursue it ... the password does not suddenly change. You have made a mistake in either entering or remembering the password
[03:54] <crackityjones74> lyrae go to system monitor under system >> administration >> system monitor and select the 'system' tab. it will say 'generic' for your kernel or x86_64 if you're using amd64.
[03:54] <sudo-ninJa> well how about this... what if i want to create a partition on the laptop?
[03:54] <void_pointer> Brenda_McLinux, stick around. I help a lot of people. I also note when people blame "linux" instead of themselves.
[03:54] <Sattvic> sudo-ninja:  maybe do a google search for your wireless device on Ubuntu
[03:54] <lyrae> crackityjones74, thanks
[03:55] <crackityjones74> no problem
[03:55] <Brenda_McLinux> void_pointer, let's suspend your altered reality and pretend I didn't make a mistake in entering the password or in "recalling" it. How would I fix the issue of not knowing what password the OS has?
[03:55] <MozillaGueirrill> void_pointer, mozillagueirrilla@mozillagueirrilla-laptop:~$ sudo iwconfig
[03:55] <MozillaGueirrill> lo        no wireless extensions.
[03:55] <MozillaGueirrill> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[03:55] <caseys> Losha: still no work
[03:55] <lyrae> crackityjones74, it doesnt say
[03:56] <void_pointer> MozillaGueirrill, don't paste in here, use the pastebin next time. Anyway, that tells us ubuntu isn't seeing your wireless adapter
[03:56] <lyrae> just says 2.6.31-20-generic
[03:56] <Losha> caseys: sh -x /etc/pwrstatd-email.sh and pastebin the output please...
[03:56] <IdleOne> Brenda_McLinux: please change your attitude, void_pointer was/is trying to help by pointing out that the password does not change randomly. so the error is the users, wether you like that answer or not
[03:56] <crackityjones74> what does it say for 'kernel' when you click on the 'system' tab?
[03:56] <MozillaGueirrill> im using a VirtualBox, is this to be expected?
[03:56] <crackityjones74> then you're using i386 i think, unless i'm wrong. anybody else know for sure?
[03:57] <lyrae> crackityjones74, just says 2.6.31-20-generic
[03:57] <void_pointer> MozillaGueirrill, the problem is I don't use VirtualBox, so it may be. Is there an option that includes recognizing devices?
[03:57] <Gnea> Brenda_McLinux: you would have to boot the system up in a way that would allow the root user to access the passwd command
[03:57] <crackityjones74> i think that means it's i386. if you were using an x86_64 kernel it would say so.
[03:58] <lyrae> crackityjones74, ah ty
[03:58] <lyrae> !microphone
[03:58] <lyrae> !audio
[03:58] <Brenda_McLinux> IdleOne, Sorry, just trying to get a problem fixed and the response I get is "it's your fault" because I made a comment about Linux that rubbed a Linux enthusiast the wrong way. I am a Linux nut myself but wouldn't take offense to someone claiming "Linux" messed something up. I will however watch my wording around sensitive individuals.
[03:58] <void_pointer> Brenda_McLinux, you may be able to go into single user mode and change your root password from there
[03:58] <bastid_raZor> lyrae: uname -a will tell you
[03:58] <Brenda_McLinux> Gnea, thank you for that, I will look into that method
[03:58] <bastid_raZor> lyrae: uname -m rather
[03:59] <Brenda_McLinux> void_pointer, how would I go into single user mode?
[03:59] <fulld7> I just deleted my /etc/apache ... how do I get back the default configuration?
[03:59] <lyrae> bastid_raZor, yep. thanks

[03:59] <IdleOne> Brenda_McLinux: we are all linux enthusiasts, I did not see void_pointer being "sensitive" as you so passively aggressively stated :)
[04:00] <Fandekasp> oops sorry bad channel X_X

[04:02] <Gnea> airtonix: clearly, he wants to know if there's a way to get a droid to sync with ubuntu
[04:03] <void_pointer> MozillaGueirrill, from a quick google it seems you have to bridge the wireless adapter from windows. Have you done this?
[04:03] <airtonix> Gnea, no . read it properly.
[04:03] <airtonix> TheMidnightCoder, join #maemo
[04:03] <TheMidnightCoder> airtonix, thanks

[04:05] <airtonix> Gnea, i'd aggree if the sentence went " what apps to use on ubuntu to sync with maemo clients" however the sentence went : "what apps to use on droid to sync with ubuntu"
[04:05] <MozillaGueirrill> is this info worth n e thng?
[04:05] <void_pointer> MozillaGueirrill, you are probably going to have to find someone more knowledgeable about VirtualBox. I only know the wireless side of the problem :)

[04:12] <Platypus-Man> hello peeps, I'm considering buying some Wester Digital Caviar Green 1,5 TB drives as they are the most bang for the buck atm, but those drives use "Advanced Format" technology... quote from WD's site: "WD Advanced Format drives are specifically optimized for Mac and the latest Windows operating systems such as Windows Vista and Windows 7 with a clean install. Advanced Format Technology is being adopted by WD and other drive manufacture
[04:12] <Dolp> I'm using open source office, whenever I try to enter "0.02753304" it ends up "0.3" how do i stop it from rounding up?
[04:12] <Platypus-Man> Your WD Advanced Format hard drive may require you to run the WD Align software utility after you install your operating system or partition and format the drive as a secondary drive. WD Align software aligns partitions on the Advanced Format drive to ensure it provides full performance for certain configurations. (Please see table for configuration details)"
[04:13] <whatnick> yay I am not a floodbot
[04:13] <whatnick> hello folks
[04:13] <Platypus-Man> long quote, sorry... now my question is, though they are _optimized_ for Mac and Windows, will they work on GNU/Linux?
[04:13] <whatnick> hello folks
[04:13] <whatnick> karmic installer put grub on my boot ..
[04:14] <whatnick> how do i get vista to boot back up ? I was trying to install to a usb disk
[04:14] <overmacht> Platypus-Man; yes
[04:14] <Trek> whatnick: you can't boot to vista through grub?
[04:14] <whatnick> Trek: nope the bootloader wants my external driver ..
[04:14] <whatnick> and some sort of disk enumeration issue i think
[04:14] <void_pointer> Platypus-Man, I'd say it will work, just that you can't run the WD software from linux without using WINE (or cedega, I guess)
[04:14] <whatnick> *drive
[04:15] <Platypus-Man> overmacht: thanks for the answer
[04:15] <bettsp> Is there any way via something in /proc or /sys that I can use to figure out what kind of RAM i need to buy for my desktop?
[04:15] <gustin> cat /proc/meminfo ?
[04:15] <whatnick> Trek: i drop into a grub recovery console
[04:15] <whatnick> is there a chainloader line I can use at that point ?
[04:15] <Trek> whatnick: not sure how to fix it, unfortunately
[04:15] <flansuse> Platypus-Man, supposedly they are not as good in practice as they are in theory.
[04:16] <whatnick> Trek: I will try my win recovery CD's
[04:16] <Ten-Eight> whatnick: you can use the win recovery console and type: /fixmbr
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> bettsp: sudo lshw | less    should show you the ram speeds etc
[04:16] <Ten-Eight> I believe that's right...if not, someone can correct me.
[04:16] <googeek> Does anyone know the CL for the Kickoff application launcher
[04:16] <whatnick> Ten-Eight: ya I am going to do that and then try this -> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-wubi
[04:17] <whatnick> instead of the installer cd
[04:17] <gustin> bettsp: you can look in to /proc/cpuinfo and use lspci to check your CPU and chipset which you should be able to figure out what memory
[04:17] <Ten-Eight> whatnick: sounds good. have fun!
[04:17] <whatnick> Hehe :)
[04:17] <RUXA> Hi all
[04:17] <Ten-Eight> :)
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> bettsp: the top part of lshw will give your motherboard make and model so you can consult the manufacturers site
[04:17] <smick2> is it easy to configure so you can send mail from your bash terminal?
[04:17] <whatnick> should have followed a usb install guide instead on jumping in ..
[04:18] <Platypus-Man> A related question since I'm already here, any of you happen to know how to partition drives with the xfs filesystem in Ubuntu 9.04? I can't find it in add/remove software, and apt-get install xfs seemed to install some fonts or whatnot, xfs is listed in gparted, but greyed out.
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> smick2: mutt does it beautifully :)
[04:18] <bettsp> ActionParsnip, gustin: Nice, thanks
[04:18] <Ezreal> If /dev/dsp is my sound driver, what is my screen's driver?
[04:18] <smick2> Ok, cool. I'm just hoping to set up notifications and maybe send an email from bash from time to time
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> Platypus-Man: i believe its already available if you use gparted
[04:18] <Platypus-Man> flansuse: do you have first-hand experience with a hdd with that tech?
[04:19] <tehbaut> how long would it take to compress a 7GB partition to bzip2?
[04:19] <RUXA> can any help me with setup internet on my system?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> smick2: i believe there is a method of scripting emails rather than a full client like mutt
[04:19] <flansuse> Platypus-Man, nope, sorry.
[04:20] <smick2> ActionParsnip: there is a way to script them, but I need to configure my little box to send emails.
[04:20] <lasthope106> How easy is it for malware to infect ubuntu?
[04:20] <Losha> caseys: sorry. I don't seem able to get it working. You might ask in #bash
[04:20] <whatnick> thanks for confirming my plans guys .. enjoy
[04:20] <onaogh> RUXA, yes
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> smick2: let me see
[04:20] <Ezreal> lasthope106: as easy as it is to type rm -rf *
[04:20] <RUXA> onaogh Ok thanks
[04:20] <flansuse> Platypus-Man, perhaps you can install the drive, boot into Windows, run the utility, and then boot into Linux to use the drive? Not entirely sure. I read that they can still be used normally under Linux, but of course you don't get the extra feature of Advanced Format.
[04:20] <gustin> lasthope106: it depends on what kind malware and how you have configured your Ubuntu computer
[04:20] <caseys> ok tanks anyway
[04:20] <onaogh> lasthope106, very rare
[04:21] <lasthope106> what is rm -rf*?
[04:21] <tooth1> hi, i've got problems including libs into c++ code. when i try to inc qt libs by #include <qt4/QtGui/QtGui> the compiler bugs me about not finding the sublibs, but they are definitely in /qt4/QtGui/ :(
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> smick2: http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/12/01/how-to-send-email-from-the-linux-command-line/
[04:21] <cooper> lasthope106, forces delete of every file in a direcotry
[04:21] <cooper> directory *
[04:21] <Trek> rm -rf * deletes everything in that directory, but be careful with it
[04:21] <Trek> !DANGER
[04:21] <Brenda_McLinux> Idol_One, I have a bad memory, who was it that was helping me earlier that I got mad at?
[04:21] <lasthope106> let's say a keylogger or a trojan.  If I go to an infected website would I be prompted that an application is trying to get root access?
[04:22] <jrib> lasthope106: if you stick to the repositories, you will be fine
[04:22] <caseys> Losha: see you laer
[04:22] <Ezreal> Guys
[04:22] <taladon> how can i found out the device name /dev/? for my sound card line in jack?
[04:22] <Brenda_McLinux> IdleOne, who was it earlier that was helping me that I got mad at?
[04:22] <tooth1> any idea for that ?
[04:22] <Ezreal> cat /dev/urandom > /dev/tty5, CTRL+ALT+f5
[04:22] <Ezreal> See forever
[04:22] <airtonix> lasthope106, yes you would be unless your were careless enought o be running your web browser as root.
[04:22] <IdleOne> Brenda_McLinux: void_pointer was helping out
[04:22] <jrib> Ezreal: can you stop with the silly commands please?
[04:22] <lasthope106> well, I'm more interested in the case when you download a trojan or a keylogger from a website
[04:23] <Brenda_McLinux> IdleOne, thanks
[04:23] <Ezreal> jrib: Why?
[04:23] <jrib> Ezreal: because this a support channel, not a silly commands channel
[04:23] <Brenda_McLinux> void_pointer, That worked and fixed my password issue. Sorry for getting testy about it earlier. Thanks for your help again.
[04:23] <lasthope106> has any of you ever been infected by a virus while using linux?
[04:23] <Ezreal> Where can I find a silly commands channel?
[04:23] <Neological3000> Hello any one thinkin about building theyr own linux from scratch? Newbies most wanted.
[04:23] <jrib> Ezreal: #silly-commands
[04:23] <flansuse> Platypus-Man, this mgiht help: http://community.wdc.com/t5/Desktop/Problem-with-WD-Advanced-Format-drive-in-LINUX-WD15EARS/m-p/7573#M369
[04:23] <Tomazim> I never thought I would find and irc network that seems to be entirely for coding o.O

[04:23] <Ezreal> No users.
[04:23] <Ezreal> Must not be interested.
[04:23] <IdleOne> Brenda_McLinux: sure thing :)
[04:24] <StopSign> kinda,but it was a craigslist girl
[04:24] <jrib> Ezreal: yes, that should be a clue for you

[04:24] <IdleOne> !polls
[04:24] <jrib> lasthope106: what's your question?    This is by far my worst fear.
[04:25] <Platypus-Man> ActionParsnip: only choices I have is ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, linux-swap and reiserfs, the rest are greyed out
[04:25] <onaogh> lasthope106, it wont happen in ubuntu
[04:25] <lasthope106> my question is how do I detect viruses and other malware in ubuntu?
[04:25] <iOmlette> !clamav | lasthope106
[04:25] <jrib> lasthope106: by not running code outside the repositories that you do not understand
[04:25] <RUXA> Can any one help with setup CDMA connection
[04:25] <onaogh> lasthope106, install antivirus
[04:26] <iOmlette> lasthope106: ClamAV is a good antivirus program for Linux.
[04:26] <jrib> lasthope106: clamav is for detecting windows viruses
[04:26] <iOmlette> lasthope106: Although Linux doesn't get many, if any, viruses.
[04:26] <RUXA> have any one experience with CDMA connection?
[04:26] <faron1> anybody ever heard of a plugin for firefox that  can maybe make some other media player like mplayer or totem {or anything else} take ove the function of flash player ?
[04:26] <lasthope106> so by just browing the web, when I'm not running as root is very safe, makes it pretty much impossible to get infected?
[04:26] <airtonix> !anyone > RUXA
[04:27] <jrib> lasthope106: yes...
[04:27] <tooth1> *PUSH*  hi, i've got problems including cpp-libs. when i try to inc qt4 by #include <qt4/QtGui/QtGui> the compiler bugs me about missing sublibs, but they are all right there... is there a path conflict ? #include <QtGui> didn't work for me
[04:27] <iOmlette> lasthope106: Pretty much.
[04:27] <airtonix> faron1, you might like to look into mozilla gnash.
[04:27] <onaogh> !anyone > onaogh
[04:27] <lasthope106> ok thanks everyone for your help.  I feel much safer now
[04:27] <iOmlette> lasthope106: I've run Linux for almost 3 years, and never gotten a birus.
[04:27] <StopSign> lasthope106, dont run as root lol
[04:27] <iOmlette> Er, virus.
[04:28] <faron1> airtonix.....{mozilla} gnash ? would that be something I'd find through add-ons ?
[04:28] <airtonix> !find gnash
[04:29] <airtonix> !find mozilla-plugin-gnash
[04:29] <airtonix> !info mozilla-plugin-gnash
[04:29] <faron1> I have indeed tried gnash b4 & it didn't work But,there's aplugin for mozilla ?
[04:29] <airtonix> faron1, although you might find that its just as bad as normal linux flash plugin.
[04:29] <tooth1> gosh, anyone ?
[04:30] <airtonix> !anyone > tooth1
[04:30] <jrib> !helpme | tooth1
[04:30] <RUXA> Does anyone help me with setup CDMA mobile phone and using internet?
[04:30] <faron1> just as bad huh airtonix ? hmmmm
[04:30] <onaogh> !helpme | onaogh
[04:30] <airtonix> faron1, flash is just fail in any form.
[04:31] <airtonix> !info ubufox
[04:31] <RUXA> Does anyone have experience with setup CDMA mobile phone and internet in ubuntu 9.10?
[04:31] <faron1> I installed greasemonkey & can use it to wacth youtube but I really don't understand how to write scripts ya know ?
[04:31] <airtonix> RUXA, doesnt look like anyone does.
[04:32] <iOmlette> RUXA, it might help to give someone a couple minutes to answer you.
[04:32] <jrib> tooth1: you probably want to include more details... Like for example: how did you install the qt4 libraries exactly?  What is the contents of the file you are trying to command?  What is the command and full output when you try to compile?
[04:32] <airtonix> faron1, have a look at userscripts.org. to make them you just need to know how to manipulate the html dom with javascript.... i find that jquery makes this easier
[04:32] <dominickpastore> RUXA: i have done this with my own phone, but my experience is that it can involve quite a bit of research, depending on your phone.
[04:32] <faron1> mplayer works SO much better than flash to play flash videos
[04:32] <airtonix> faron1, so does vlc.
[04:33] <faron1> jquery ?
[04:33] <faron1> hm
[04:33] <airtonix> faron1, http://jquery.com/
[04:33] <faron1> hmmmm thank you
[04:34] <dominickpastore> RUXA: some phones are supported by default if you plug it in and just look in the NetworkManager Applet's menu. others, like mine, take a little more work. i had to install an extra piece of software on my phone, for example.

[04:36] <taladon> Hi all. I'm trying to find the /dev/ name of my sound line in jack
[04:36] <jrib> tooth1: ok, but include all the info I asked about so that we can help you
[04:36] <RUXA> I'am will write my situation here
[04:36] <RUXA> I have installed ubuntu 9.10 and mobile phone Sky IM-6100
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> Ashok: use: sudo -i
[04:37] <albech> will a tunnel span over two wan connections to allow failsafe or will the tunnel only run over one of the wan connections?
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> albech: you can tunnel to a tunne; I guess
[04:37] <RUXA> system was see my phone automaticaly and starting welcome to setup internet
[04:38] <rdrake> Has anybody had an issue with sshd not starting up after rebooting after a kernel switch?
[04:38] <tooth1> jrib: i did libqt4-dev, libqt4-core, my cxx-file only #includes the qtgui lib (no main sub or anything)
[04:38] <Trek> !enter | RUXA
[04:38] <RUXA> after setup it was not start connection,
[04:39] <gustin> albech: it depends on how you set up networking
[04:39] <jrib> tooth1: please just give specific answers to the questions I asked, don't be vague
[04:39] <Ashok> ActionParsnip: tx
[04:39] <jrib> tooth1: you probably want to include more details... Like for example: how did you install the qt4 libraries exactly?  What is the contents of the file you are trying to compile?  What is the command and full output when you try to compile?
[04:40] <albech> gustin, but it is possible? i have a dual wan router configured, but was just wondering if a host behind the router creating a tunnel to another one outside the router would utilize both connections
[04:40] <Ashok> ActionParsnip: what is wire shark n what s d us e of it
[04:40] <bullgard> With me rsnapshot obtains an error: "rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred" similar to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server-bugs/2009-July/014523.html. What does "attrs" stand for?
[04:40] <jrib> bullgard: attributes
[04:40] <jrib> bullgard: I'm guessing permissions/ownership properties
[04:41] <tooth1> jrib: i did answer that - the command is g++ ./myfile.cxx -o /out
[04:41] <bullgard> jrib: Thank you.
[04:42] <itheos> hey why do i get this message when i install a package "These fonts were provided by Microsoft "in the interest of cross-platform compatibility".  This is no longer the case, but they are still available from third parties."
[04:42] <RUXA> I have installed ubuntu 9.10 and mobile phone Sky IM-6100. System was see my phone automaticaly and starting welcome to setup internet. After setup it was not start connection. I have second OS Windows XP, and now I use it on this.
[04:42] <gustin> albech: the host behind the router does not utilise anything, the router needs to do the work
[04:42] <itheos> and then some .exe package tries to download
[04:42] <jrib> tooth1: I don't understand why this is difficult, do I really need to ask you one question at a time?
[04:42] <dante123> hi all, installed ubuntu 10.04 and was working well....however just after an update....when starting the machine I get to the desktop but no gnome panels or nautilus.....cant do anything but reboot or drop to command line....any suggestions?
[04:43] <rdrake> I guess not...
[04:43] <abhinav> Ashok: wireshark is a packet capture tool, which shows you nicely what packets are being sent or received from your network interfaces
[04:43] <DasEi> !panels | dante123:
[04:43] <abhinav> dante123: this is a bug which just got fixed
[04:43] <jrib> !10.04 | dante123
[04:43] <DasEi> dante123: #ubuntu+1 for lucid
[04:44] <Ashok> abhinav: k how to use it
[04:44] <tooth1> jrib: i said which libs i had installed, i told you the content, the output and the compiler, so what ??
[04:44] <abhinav> dante123: if you have an ATI driver, there was a bug in the proprietary driver which got released yesterday, too
[04:44] <lasthope106> when I'm asked to put in the password in "update manager" to grant it root acess.  Does it give root access to the whole system or just to the application in this case "update manager"?
[04:45] <iOmlette> lasthope106: Just the application.
[04:45] <DasEi> lasthope106: just app
[04:45] <dominickpastore> RUXA: ok. well i probably won't be much help since you don't seem to be having the same problems with your phone as I had with mine. just curious though, do you have a tethering plan?
[04:45] <ShadowKnight> does anyone know if you could partition an external hard drive so that it could be read in a ps3?
[04:45] <Trek> lasthope106: it just means it want authorization to use the graphical sudo command
[04:45] <iOmlette> lasthope106: And usually, root access only lasts for 15 minutes (I think) for the application, as well.
[04:46] <DasEi> ShadowKnight: ntfs should work
[04:46] <RPG-Master> I've set up Samba on both my laptop and my desktop... but the laptop gets and error when I click on the networks folder.
[04:46] <Trek> lasthope106 / iOmlette: you can change the length of that too
[04:46] <ugliefrog> is there an advanced sound panel or something similar...having problems with alsa
[04:46] <tooth1> jrib: and yeah - i used the official repos
[04:46] <jrib> tooth1: ok, unfortunately I don't have time to pull teeth right now.  I suggest you follow a helloworld example from the documentation step by step and see what you are doing wrong.  http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/tutorial-t1.html
[04:46] <iOmlette> Trek: Really? I've never tried to.
[04:46] <jrib> tooth1: night
[04:46] <lasthope106> so this same process applies when in the terminal.  If I put sudo it just grants root access to that instance of the terminal?
[04:46] <meganerd> who was just asking about a dual wan config?  My NIC a few minutes ago was an alt (gustin)
[04:46] <ShadowKnight> DasEi: i tried it as is and its not working at all its not read by it
[04:46] <DasEi> ugliefrog: like (gnome-)alsamixergui ?
[04:46] <RPG-Master> "Failed to retrieve share list from server"
[04:46] <iOmlette> ugliefrog: Yes, but I can't recall the name. I'd search for "alsa" in the Synaptic package manager.
[04:46] <RPG-Master> What be up?
[04:47] <Alan502> Hello, i just thought someone here could help me with this: i was downloading a rar file, but paused the download and then moved that file.rar.part file somewhere else. Then, without noticing i had moved the file, i resumed the download and, apparently, kget kept downloading to the same folder the .part file was in.
[04:47] <Alan502> Is there a way i can merge two files?
