[16:38] <brian__> I have a dual monitor setup, HDMI going to a TV and VGA going to a monitor. On startup I get the message "x server does not support the size requested," and on the TV, which is my main monitor, the edges of the screen are cut off. I need to change the resolution but I can't figure out how to do so effectively.

[16:38] <wael> hi

[16:39] <i0nic> x_dimitri: laptop died and when I started it back up all my settings are gone, transparency from terminal, top and bottom panels have a classic look.  it just looks like old style ubuntu.
[16:39] <mgedmin> rs0832, thanks, I'll take a look
[16:39] <mgedmin> the first link I've seen already; it's not helpful

[16:41] <i0nic> is it possible to revert my ubuntu display to look as it was when I first installed it?

[16:42] <sam_sam> hi i have ubuntu 9.04 installed and now i am now installing 10.04 if i use the same swap partiotion for new installation , will the old ubuntu installation be able to boot properly ?
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> wael:  read the docs at the backtrack4 homepage? its not ubuntu. so not supported here.
[16:43] <vishal> acn anyone tell me how to change boot time background
[16:43] <vishal> ??
[16:43] <erUSUL> sam_sam: sure; but why keep two different installs?
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> sam_sam:  if you use hibernate/suspend that can be an issue. if not - 2+ distros can share the same swap partition
[16:43] <BrianTheLion> ALSA/PulseAudio? Anybody?
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> vishal:  that would be 'plymouth' and there are some alternative plymouth themes out there.
[16:44] <rs0832> BrianTheLion: if you need help, please ask.. someone will help you if they are able to :)
[16:44] <BrianTheLion> Cheers!
[16:45] <realubot> Why do ubuntu.com recommend Ubuntu Server 54-bit and not 32-bit?
[16:45] <BrianTheLion> I just upgraded to 11.04 and I am STILL having issues with my microphone
[16:45] <realubot> *64-bit and not 32-bit
[16:45] <wael> 3asba
[16:45] <tomcom12345> testing the system
[16:45] <patrick_> hi people!
[16:45] <BrianTheLion> the problem has been described in a number of different forum posts, but I haven't seen a solution yet
[16:45] <wael> hi patrik
[16:45] <BrianTheLion> so it's kinda interesting
[16:45] <cntb> installed ubuntu 10.04 netbook to stay dualboot and cleaned files in windowsNow will reinstall windows in its partition but it will mess withbootwhat to do after windows install ok to have ubuntu grub boot back
[16:46] <wael> hi
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> BrianTheLion:  11.04 support in #ubuntu+1
[16:46] <sam_sam> ok thanks , what issues will be  with hibernate.. i use it. if i resume hibernated version without using the other, i think it will not be an issue, am i right ?
[16:46] <BrianTheLion> cool! I'll go there.
[16:46] <realubot> At ubuntu.com download section Ubuntu recommends 64 bit Ubuntu. Why don't they recommend 64 bit?
[16:46] <macsmister> can you restrict a user to only be able to apply updates to his computer but not install or remove software?
[16:46] <rs0832> realubot: ??
[16:47] <rs0832> realubot: 64 bit has higher limits for memory and limits in general
[16:47] <patrick_> can anybody help me to edit my chatroom bot to work inside room?
[16:47] <patrick_> anybody?
[16:47] <patrick_> anyone?
[16:47] <mgedmin> okay, I booted ubuntu from that root.disk using some black grub magic (after booting grub from usb)
[16:47] <realubot> rs0832: I'm trying to download Ubuntu Server from the download page and they recommend 64 bit but why not 32 bit?
[16:47] <lnx4ver> nice
[16:47] <benalia> ss
[16:47] <rs0832> realubot: because servers have high loads
[16:48] <sam-_-> !ask | patrick_
[16:48] <rs0832> realubot: 64 bit supports higher limits
[16:48] <realubot> rs0832: Mhm, but what if I use a ordinary computer as server and the computer has got a 32 bit memory.
[16:48] <sam_sam> because 64 bit ubuntu utilizes the 64 bit hardware and 32 bit doesnt utilize , it assumes 32 bit hardware
[16:48] <patrick_> ok! thanks for the info. im just a new user
[16:48] <rs0832> realubot: but it is just a suggestion... you should use what best suits your computer
[16:49] <sagarchalise> anyone here knows how to get touchpad working with dell vostro 3400
[16:49] <maco> realubot: because most server hardware for the last few years has been 64bit. obviously if you dont have 64bit hardware, use 32
[16:49] <rs0832> realubot: if you have a 32 bit computer, you can use only 32 bit software
[16:49] <sam_sam> what issues will be  with hibernate.. i use it. if i resume hibernated version without using the other, i think it will not be an issue, am i right ?
[16:49] <sagarchalise> i can't get the scrolling work
[16:49] <realubot> rs0832: Yeah, but it wouldn't be nice using a 64 bit version at a 32 bit computer, right?
[16:49] <sam-_-> realubot most hardware supports 64bit these days if you have a 32-bit sys you will have to download the 32-bit version
[16:49] <realubot> rs0832: Ok, thanks.
[16:49] <rs0832> realubot: 64 bit software doesnt work on 32 bit processor:)
[16:50] <realubot> sam-_-: It's a rather old computer having a P4.
[16:50] <rs0832> realubot: you're welcome
[16:50] <sam_sam> 32 bit ubuntu will work on both 32-bit & 64 bit hardware but 64 bit ubuntu will work only on 64 bit hardware.
[16:50] <sam-_-> realubot, download 32-bit then you don't have a choice
[16:50] <nirazio> I've reinstalled Nautilus from the maverick repositories after removing nautilus-elementary and the breadcrumb hacks, but I have no longer access to the "preferences" menu and the default toolbar. How do I reset Nautilus to the default configuration?
[16:50] <patrick_> i would like to edit a command for bot to work inside nimbuzz chatroom, can anybody help me to to it?
[16:50] <maco> realubot: if you tried to run a 64bit OS on a 32bit machine, it wouldnt boot
[16:51] <Pici> patrick_: Surely your bot framework has its own channel.
[16:51] <sam_sam> for p4 use 32 bit
[16:51] <realubot> sam-_-: Yes. I think I will have to. Thanks for helping me.
[16:51] <sam-_-> nirazio, try removing the config files
[16:52] <nirazio> sam-_-: how??
[16:52] <Guest30278> hello
[16:52] <sagarchalise> can anyone recommend me if i should install 64bit or 32bit on i3 powered hardware?
[16:53] <sam-_-> i think they are in ~/.config/ somewhere
[16:53] <patrick_> pici: where will i go to edit it? i already installed phyton but i dont know how. my nimbot is already working inside nimbuzz chatroom but it lacks of commands.
[16:53] <rs0832> sagarchalise: i think it should be 64 bit
[16:53] <Pici> patrick_: What type of bot?
[16:53] <erUSUL> sagarchalise: 64 bit
[16:53] <sam-_-> sagarchalise, doesn't matter
[16:53] <macsmister> any way to restrict user to only be able to apply updates? no add/remove programs rights, just OS updates.
[16:54] <patrick_> pici: its a nimbot i downloaded from nimbuzz

[16:54] <rs0832> itaylor57: 256 bit?
[16:54] <erUSUL> macsmister: you could tweak sudoers ( handle with care read docs first ) to let him/her run only update-manager
[16:54] <Pici> patrick_: This doesn't hape anthying to do with Ubuntu, you need to find somewhere that supports exactly what you're using.
[16:54] <itaylor57> rs0832: just seeing if anyone is noticing LOL
[16:55] <sam-_-> jrc, did you google already?

[16:57] <wael> waht is this so?
[16:57] <wael> what is for?
[16:57] <Pici> wael: I just told you.
[16:57] <sam_sam> i have installed many programming and other packages with my 9.04 version, around  5 GB total size, now i am installing 10.04 LTS is there a way that i can use those without downloading them all ?, upgrades are fine
[16:57] <wael> i'm new  here
[16:57] <C_Okie> Does gparted support taking unalloted logical partiton of an extended drive and breaking it off of the extended partition to turn into say a primary partition
[16:57] <OerH> wael wrong channel
[16:57] <bloom> rs0832: how do i add that
[16:57] <jrc> sam-_-: That' alright, I'll just keep trying stuff :)
[16:57] <wael> i don't know any thing
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> sam_sam:  any upgrades would be basically redownloading them anyway
[16:57] <wael> ok soryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[16:58] <wael> :'(
[16:58] <FloodBot3> wael: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:58] <rs0832> bloom: what irc client are you using?
[16:58] <sam_sam> lol floodbot
[16:58]  * Dr_Willis bets they have some real interesting conversations in tthe backtrack channel.
[16:58] <bloom> xchat
[16:58] <wael> ok
[16:58] <agentgasmask> bloom: do you mean start you own irc server?
[16:58] <bloom> xChat (ubuntu)
[16:58] <bloom> no
[16:58] <bloom> i mean i want to speac in that server
[16:58] <rs0832> bloom: xchat menu>new>server tab...
[16:59] <bloom> an then?
[16:59] <rs0832> bloom: then in the chat input (where you type messages) type /server irc.anonops-irc.org
[16:59] <C_Okie> Anyone know if it is possible to break off a logical drive from the ext partition and make primary?
[17:00] <sam-_-> jrc, maybe lsusb will provide more info
[17:00] <C_Okie> Given it is unalloted
[17:00] <bloom> ok thx
[17:00] <rs0832> bloom: :)
[17:00] <industry__> what do you mean, break off a logical drive?
[17:00] <mgedmin> should there be a c:\wubildr.cfg?  or is it sufficient to have c:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.cfg?
[17:01] <sam_sam> Dr_Willis:ok what things i can retain ? i m basically  not upgrading , i m installing on a different partition
[17:01] <C_Okie> I have extended block with a unalloted at the end and gparted has the primary type greyed out when I go to create new partition
[17:01] <mgedmin> and where could I get an up-to-date version of wubildr in any case?
[17:01] <agentgasmask> Does anyone know the proper syntax for specifying Alt-~ (aka: alt grave) in openbox's rc.xml? I have <keybind key="A-~">
[17:01] <bloom> quit
[17:01] <industry__> probably because you've already got 4 primary partitions
[17:02] <jrc> sam-_-: Unfortunately nothing, a webcam and wifi
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> sam_sam:  reinstalling the same version of ubuntu?  you can keep whatever packages are in your apt cache..  but those get auto cleaned out after so much time
[17:02] <C_Okie> industry__:  I mean taking the unalloted part of the extended partition and making  it unalloted available for a any type like primary
[17:02] <sam_sam> i m installing 10.04 and i have working 9.04
[17:02] <C_Okie> industry__:  :) good guess oh heh
[17:03] <amonkey> i'm runing ubuntu 10.10, and I can't get apache to execute ruby files. i can run them from the command line but apache just spits out the source. i installed libapache2-mod-ruby and ruby, but i'm not sure what to put in my virtual host directive to make .rb files run
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> sam_sam:  so you basically are doing a new install. everything in 9.04 has been upgraded. and thus would beed to be redownloaded
[17:03] <rs0832> mgedmin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> sam_sam:  theres not muich in 9.04 you could 'use' to save download time.
[17:03] <industry__> not sure what you mean still, so you just want to make the free space under the extended partition just..free space?
[17:04] <wilhart> my linein is not working, no sound
[17:04] <C_Okie> Gparted always compains and gives me errors and tells me to do chkdsk twice and reboot twice for ntfs partitions even if i am shrinking fomr like 90 gigs on the extnded to say 70. Is this more of a warning
[17:04] <sam_sam>  Dr_Willis:i have been upgrading packages (except the main OS :D) regularly
[17:04] <C_Okie> industy, yup but I think i will have to mount to it
[17:04] <sam_sam>  Dr_Willis:i just dont want to download nearly 4 GB again :-$
[17:04] <industry__> so what you want to do is make a new partition in that space
[17:04] <jrc> sam-_-: I have a Windows driver CD, I'll just check that to see if it can reveal anything
[17:05] <C_Okie> yeah but I forgot about the 4 partition limit
[17:05] <industry__> but to do that you are resizng an ntfs?
[17:05] <mgedmin> rs0832, yeah, I've seen that page ... "reinstalling wubi" tells you that "oh and by the way this wipes root.disk"
[17:05] <sam-_-> jrc, lol. yeah. well then you can also look through the logs on linux and maybe dig around in /sys/
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> sam_sam:  dosent matter.. everything has been upgraded to newer versions basically.
[17:06] <rs0832> mgedmin : o.o
[17:06] <bum_bam> hello im trying to set up mail server and i have installed postfix postfix-mysql but i dont have /etc/mailname can someone help me tnx :)
[17:06] <sam_sam> so downloads are necessary / :-$
[17:06] <sam_sam> ?
[17:06] <Weedo> how do you get rid of the top panel?
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> C_Okie:  i always scan the windows drives. then defrag them.   do the resize.. then have them scan again
[17:06] <C_Okie> no, I shhhrunk the extended to create unalloted logical and wanted to somehow merge that with the priamary other than mounting but I have 4 partitions
[17:06] <bum_bam> os ubuntu 10.10
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> Weedo:  right click, remove panel. You have to keep 1 panel.
[17:07] <industry__> is there also any particular reason you want it as a primary partition?
[17:07] <Weedo> im sure you can get rid of it
[17:07] <Weedo> i read it somewhere
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> Weedo:  I can right click a d'delete panel' to remove the top one.. and keep the bottom
[17:07] <C_Okie> Dr_Willis:  you scan the windows partition before you resize or move stuff too?
[17:08] <industry__> well, if you want to take off space from one partition and add it to another, they must be adjacent partitions on the disk. as far as I know you can't have non-contiguous partitions.
[17:08] <Renegade_o^> I lessthanthree Ubuntu.
[17:08] <wilhart> i'm getting Waiting for sound system to respond from System->Pref->Sound!
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> C_Okie:  Most of the time - i let windows resize its own partitions. it can do it faster then gparted i find.
[17:08] <C_Okie> oh
[17:08] <jrc> sam-_-: Yup, tried the logs and /sys already - but might have missed something
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> C_Okie:  if i do let ubuntu do it. I scan defrag, resize, scan again.
[17:08] <sam_sam>  C_Okie:don't touch windows partitions , my experience tells microsoft cries everytime
[17:09] <C_Okie> oh
[17:09] <C_Okie> but it's gparted bitching sam_sam
[17:09] <industry__> and in general remember that windows partitions aren't fans of being resized because windows throws files all over the place
[17:09] <brian__> can any kind person help me get sound through HDMI?
[17:10] <sam_sam> well u don't need a primary partition for ubuntu ..
[17:10] <industry__> but in the case of a Vista/7 install then using the windows partition shrinker is probably the best solution over gparted.
[17:10] <C_Okie> so if I get in trouble, put the linux and windows stuff adjacent in case resizeng/shriking was needed
[17:11] <industry__> needing to resize partitions should not be happening often
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> brian__:  depends on the chipset. and i think some nvidia chipsets dont have support for that yet under linux.
[17:11] <C_Okie> See i have some windows stuf ass a primary and the windows data the ubuntu data, swap and unalloted in a extended ;?
[17:11] <sam_sam> industry__:  i don't believe windows has better :O
[17:11] <brian__> oh, how can I tell which chipset i have?
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> brian__:  lspci perhaps.
[17:11] <C_Okie> thats a poor layout al toether that's casued me trouble
[17:12] <C_Okie> I didnt know what to make extended and what just a primary :)
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> C_Okie:  you could have all of linux stuff on extended partitions if youw anted.
[17:12] <C_Okie> and data and
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> C_Okie:  typical layout here --> (Primary Windows)(Primary /) (primary /home) (primary swap)
[17:13] <industry__> bear in mind that neither windows nor ubuntu care whether they're primary or extended
[17:13] <C_Okie> sorry key was stuck ...
[17:13] <wilhart> how do i fix my linein in soundblaster
[17:13] <wilhart> should i install alsa ?
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> C_Okie:  i have noticed that many windows7 setups are allready using 4 primaries  by default. that can be a pain.
[17:13] <Weedo> i got rid of the last panel
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> wilhart:  alsa is insstalled by default.
[17:13] <Weedo> im just using a dock now!!
[17:13] <brian__> Dr_Willis: it says "Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller"
[17:13] <wilhart> Dr_Willis, hmm wonder where i can see what soundcard i'm using
[17:14] <wilhart> speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav works fine
[17:14] <wilhart> mut not linein-mic
[17:14] <C_Okie> heck If I backup stuff on my external I dont need to worry about using windows data partitons I can do llike you said Dr_Willis  without extended
[17:14] <industry__> personally I'd say having multiple windows partitions is totally useless
[17:15] <Weedo> i use one windows partition for documents, and the other for the os
[17:15] <sam-_-> industry__, true
[17:15] <Weedo> so i can restore the os if necessary
[17:15] <industry__> it's not like their's more than one windows flavor to use for data sharing like you have with linux distros
[17:15] <C_Okie> Weedo: external hd
[17:15] <Weedo> nah
[17:15] <sam-_-> Weedo, you can do that with one partition too
[17:16] <Weedo> oh well
[17:16] <Weedo> ive done it already
[17:16] <Weedo> incidently, how do you move shared docs to another partition
[17:16] <industry__> or /home partitions for holding on to data between upgrades. windows updates are so rare.
[17:16] <sam_sam>  industry__: are u sure windows doesnt need primary .. i have used till vista and all needed primary partitions and also the (0,0,0) 1st sector or they don't get installed
[17:16] <dhiaeldeen> I like opensource
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> multiple windows partitions is totally usefull.. i dont have defrag my main c: as much.. and its easier to back it up. and keep my videos and stuff on d:
[17:16] <dhiaeldeen> i'm using blender, http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=200606 <<< and made this character with blender, what do you think?
[17:17] <wilhart> please meh help me
[17:17] <industry__> well, not entirely sure. but i do know linux doesn't care less
[17:17] <sam_sam> NG_: are u Dr.Nagarjuna  from india ?
[17:17] <Weedo> awesome
[17:17] <agentgasmask> test
[17:17] <stealthc> hmmm any thoughts from anyone how I can get an hscale slider to save it's new value into settings.json?  There is nothing to handle the signal from this object :(

[17:17] <Weedo> has anyone got a toshiba tecra 9000?
[17:17] <sam_sam> industry__:i know that linux dowsnt need primary thats why the differentiation
[17:18] <nko3007> hello
[17:18] <Weedo> goodbye
[17:18] <industry__> well then the answer is clearly to put linux on the extendeds, if necessary.
[17:18] <sam-_-> i don't why you say goodbye i say hello
[17:19] <C_Okie> I think bum_bam had a question about setting up mail servers if anyone knows about it
[17:19] <nko3007> lol
[17:19] <sam_sam> yeah but the issue is we always have to install win first :-$
[17:20] <industry__> if you don't windows will trash your other os's and bootloader. not a big issue.
[17:20] <shadey_> i don't see the point installing Windows on the same disk as Linux
[17:20] <Weedo> how do you set up a laptop as a monitor over a network?
[17:21] <industry__> shadey_: for dual booting. when you need a windows-only program.
[17:21] <sam_sam> and Hi, free coffee to all :)
[17:21] <AbhiJit> Weedo, you want to monitor netwrk usage?
[17:21] <sam-_-> Weedo, elaborate
[17:21] <C_Okie> i wish irc clients always had ways to ignore the mode setting and people coming in status :)
[17:21] <Weedo> i want to use a laptop as a second monitor for a desktop, over the network
[17:21] <AbhiJit> C_Okie, you can
[17:22] <industry__> C_Okie: most do, i think.
[17:22] <AbhiJit> !dualhead | Weedo
[17:22] <shadey_> unless it's a laptop, it's just easier to use 2 disks instead
[17:22] <C_Okie> Oh
[17:22] <Weedo> thanks
[17:22] <industry__> C_Okie: depends on your client.
[17:22] <sam_sam> industry__::O what is a big issue in r opinion? nuclear peace ?
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> C_Okie:  i would say that most all of them have such features. its only the 'im' progrms that do irc 'on the side' that are often lacking features
[17:23] <zetter> it there any way one can have multiple wallpapers without the buggy "wallpaper" option in compiz and without the rotating cube being enabled?
[17:23] <Weedo> has anyone ever used Xdmx
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> zetter:  you could use a window manager that supportes it - metacity dosent. but others do.
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> !info xdmx
[17:23] <C_Okie> lapion:  why do you think there are signifigance in storing the ubuntu stuff in extended in lieu of primary besides unlimited partions ?

[17:24] <GuyCanada> hey people so i downloaded a power PC version of ubuntu planning to install on an old imac, not sure what version one of the old CRT guys tho. anyway i have no idea how to boot from a different source under mac. can anyone help me? ive just burned the PPC image onto a disk
[17:24] <industry__> C_Okie: to leave the primary partitions for windows to use
[17:24] <zetter> Dr_Willis: for example?
[17:25] <C_Okie> let me guess, windows is picky about that too :)
[17:25] <hiexpo> ? Dr_Willis is /usr/local/src/ just a build dir   are the files no longer needed once package is installed is that what make clean does is delete those files ?
[17:25] <sam_sam> C_Okie:windows is like a baby, will cry even if ther are no issues
[17:25] <C_Okie> so they mess up your boot loader, hates geting changed size of partitions

[18:03] <majdekalel_> Hello guys
[18:04] <majdekalel_> long time i did not say hello !
[18:04] <nirazio> I'm using SVN from Eclipse and it has a feature that allows you to save the SVN user and password. It think it uses something called gnome-keyring to do so. The problem is that now I need to use another user to access the SVN repository, but I'm unable to change the previous set user. How can I change/remove that previous user?
[18:04] <majdekalel_> hi guys i have question
[18:04] <erezson> Dr_williis>  >>  when I listen to music it stops and continue once a sec...
[18:04] <cg_cnu> abijith: thanks for the link .
[18:04] <cg_cnu> they are looking great.
[18:04] <erezson> DR_Willis >> it wasn't like that from the beginning
[18:04] <majdekalel_> ok i have problem with PHP
[18:05] <AbhiJit> cg_cnu, 1st read the manual. then try to get help from help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com then try ubuntuforum / askubuntu.com then try varios other website/blog and then ask here
[18:05] <majdekalel_> when i write a code and there is a mistake i did not got any error

[18:05] <itaylor57> bryhoyt: its taking me forever, I have changed from firefox to chromium soI lost all my bookmarks
[18:05] <dfrank> hi all. i trying to install nvidia drivers. for it i want to install envyng. i typing: "sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-gtk", but it tells me about dependencies: "envyng-core: depends on python (<2.6) but 2.6.6-2ubuntu2 will be installed". How can i fix it?
[18:05] <cg_cnu> abijith: ok.....thanks for your advice.  Did you know you can import firefox bookmarks into chrome (and I presume chromium?)
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> dfrank:  envy is not a good idea.
[18:06] <jacko_bello> hi someone have this truetype font "poozer regular"? I can't reach out
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> dfrank:  why not just use the ones in the repos?
[18:06] <bryhoyt> itaylor57: I did the same thing when I switched to chrome a while back. Bookmark import from fx worked really awesome for me, at the time.

 hey that was a nice advice. But as an artist i find it difficult to deal with these programming stuff. But i took the gaint leap of using ubuntu instead of xp. and shifting all my applications to the opensource softwares.
[18:07] <dfrank> Dr_Willis: tell me please, what repo should i include in sources.list and what package name?
[18:07] <jshsu> anyone else getting spammed by pianoGogo ? and from a bunch of nicks with piano?
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> dfrank:  for my 4 nvidia machines. i just use4 the  nvidia drivers in the normal repos. run jockey-gtk and isntall them works for most every box i have.
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> dfrank:  it may depedn on your exact chipset.
[18:08] <ilovefairuz> salil:  /usr/share/xsessions/

[18:10] <Nertil> Your CPU appears to be lacking expected security protections.
[18:10] <Nertil> what wrong with my ubuntu
[18:11] <cg_cnu> abijith: I tried all of them and finally settled with ubuntu. Really ubuntu studio is not that good. It cantains all the softwares which i don't need. Its mostly concnetrated on audio softwares. Instead i Initially thought of using the ubuntu minimall install. But it requred more probramming knowledge. so I left it and settled with ubuntu.
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> Nertil:  what program is saying this and whats your cpu?
[18:11] <Nertil> its the motd when i login to ubuntu server
[18:11] <ewook> Nertil: you CPU is simply lacking instructionsets for a perticular security-thingy
[18:11] <Nertil> yes ewook
[18:11] <ewook> Nertil: nothings says it's anything wrong with ubuntu for that reason
[18:11] <Nertil> it says something i need to enable in the bios
[18:11] <AbhiJit> hmm

[18:12] <Nertil> This CPU is family 15, model 4, and has NX capabilities but is unable to
[18:12] <Nertil> use these protective features because the BIOS is configured to disable
[18:12] <Nertil> the capability.  Please enable this in your BIOS.

[18:13] <IdleOne> Nertil: this is a hosted server install?
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> Nertil:  or the system is confused becuse of the virtuilizaton
[18:14] <IdleOne> Nertil: contact the server admin and give them the error so they can look into it.
[18:14] <bryhoyt> anyone else? I'd like to be able to upgrade exim4 to version >= 4.70 on ubuntu 9.10 (the other day it was 8.10, but we're one step further now!), to avoid this vulnerability in exim4.69: http://www.exim.org/lurker/message/20101207.215955.bb32d4f2.en.html -- How can I do so?
[18:14] <IdleOne> nothing you can do.
 that was a huge link. I was bookmarking it. I will read it later. Thanks for the info.....
[18:14] <AbhiJit> ok
[18:14] <Nertil> its stupid because everytime line goes down i need to restart my psybnc to conect
[18:14] <Nertil> can that be this problem?
[18:14] <erUSUL> bryhoyt: wait until ubuntu fixes the bug and updates the package
[18:14] <itaylor57> bryhoyt: youve probably seent this but this isthe official doc page https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/exim4.html
[18:15] <IdleOne> Nertil: psybnc has nothing to do with that error
[18:15] <nirazio> It seems that Unity cannot run in tools like Virtualbox.What are the technical reasons for this?

[18:15] <Nertil> its my ubuntu
[18:15] <erUSUL> bryhoyt: probably it has been already patched ( or maybe the bug does not affect the 9.10 version of exim )
[18:15] <FloodBot4> Nertil: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:15] <IdleOne> Nertil: do you have access to edit the BIOS settings?
[18:16] <ilovefairuz> !enter | Nertil
[18:16] <Nertil> well i dont have anyother monitor

[18:16] <frxstrem> how do I uninstall (with apt-get) a LAMP installation that was installed with tasksel?

[18:17] <Nertil> yes i have
[18:17] <Leurgy> hi
[18:17] <bryhoyt> erUSUL: that'd be nice. But I can't afford to risk it without knowing for sure. Any idea how/where to check for sure that a particular vulnerability's been fixed in a particular version of ubuntu?
[18:17] <erUSUL> bryhoyt: checking
[18:17] <IdleOne> Nertil: unplug the monitor you are using now and use it on the server, reboot, enter bios and change the approriate settings.
[18:17] <Nertil> that was easy
[18:17] <Nertil> :)

[18:35] <ActionParsnip> redcoil: you can use apps from other de ens. you'll just drag in a tonne of deps

[18:42] <Asad2005> I am planning to switch from 32bit to 64bit because i bought an SSD. If i copy my home folder to the 64bit installation would it work?
[18:42] <faustisch> what the hell is wrong with mysql-server it's only 60KB!!!
[18:42] <LogicallyDashing> I'm trying to do file transfer with sftp. sshd and sftp are set up. Everything works fine with files under 1MB. But at 1MB the connection just drops. What do?
[18:42] <faustisch> ?
[18:42] <erUSUL> Asad2005: your home is data. data is the same in 32 and 64 bits systems
[18:43] <unique> if im assigned a block of /48 ipv6 how many ips do i actually get?
[18:43] <AbhiJit> Asad2005, anything other than program data will work
[18:43] <erUSUL> faustisch: is a meta-package
[18:43] <ilovefairuz> faustisch: it's a virtual package that will grab the latest "stable" version of mysql
[18:43] <faustisch> erUSUL, I tried dpkg purge and apt-get purge, but upon install, it won't ask for root password; what's wrong?
[18:43] <erUSUL> faustisch: probably is an empty package that only depends in mysql-server-5.whatever
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> LogicallyDashing:  wired or wireless network?
[18:43] <erUSUL> !metpackage
[18:44] <erUSUL> !metapackage
[18:44] <Asad2005> AbhiJit: My main concern is email evolution messages and settings
[18:44] <faustisch> I know what a meta-package is, thank you
[18:44] <LogicallyDashing> Asad2005: When computer systems are described with "bits" it's referring to the word length. That means the CPU can handle bigger numbers at a single time. If the numbers are smaller than usual it'll still work, that's why 32bit apps can run on 64 bit hardware.
[18:44] <LogicallyDashing> Dr_Willis: wired
[18:44] <erUSUL> !root | faustisch
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> LogicallyDashing:  you have tried scp? or some other tools to copy the data?
[18:44] <faustisch> erUSUL, the root password for mysql, not unix-wide
[18:44] <Guest82283> ilovefairuz: here's my lspci -v: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544989/
[18:44] <AbhiJit> Asad2005, you can do that.
[18:45] <faustisch> erUSUL, root user in mysql
[18:45] <erUSUL> faustisch: i see; dunno.
[18:45] <faustisch> erUSUL, I purged mysql-server
[18:46] <Asad2005> The other question is regarding memory limit. Which one better stay 32bit and use PAE kernel or go 64bit
[18:46] <salil> ilovefairuz: I made the a ".desktop" there.. But it is not showing up at the login..
[18:46] <erUSUL> Asad2005: 64 bits
[18:46] <salil> Do i need to add it somewhere else too ilovefairuz?
[18:46] <LogicallyDashing> Dr_Willis: yeah, it looks like scp works just fine
[18:46] <nothingspecial> faustisch: Is this what you mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset

[18:47] <Goliath> i am connecting my hdmi to my tv
[18:47] <nirazio> How do I mount an USB powered external NTFS drive? I've installed both Mount Manager and NTFS Configuration Tool. This drive is encrypted having used Windows Bit Locker. I know the password.
[18:47] <LogicallyDashing> Dr_Willis: can you recommend a graphical client for scp?
[18:47] <Goliath> how can i use hdmi out as audio tv (the tv) ?

[18:47] <aertyu> Hi
[18:47] <salil> !hi | aertyu
[18:47] <erUSUL> nirazio: do not think linux supports bitlocker
[18:47] <erUSUL> nirazio: usb disk should mount automatically when you plug them
[18:47] <lynatik> anybody know program like PL/SQL Developer for ubuntu
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> LogicallyDashing:   never really needed one. Im not sure what nautilus uses for its ssh server connection. or try that sshfs tool then you mount the repote place. and access ias if it was a local dir
[18:48] <LogicallyDashing> Dr_Willis: thanks!
[18:48] <aertyu> hi salil
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> nirazio:  its possible bitlocker isent supported in linux. i cant recall anyone else ever mentionign trying it..
[18:48] <AbhiJit> lynatik, you want a database with plsql support?
[18:48] <salil> hi aertyu
[18:49] <Jemt> Hi. Can I have Ubuntu require a password when USB sticks are mounted ?
[18:49] <erUSUL> lynatik: install postgresql ?
[18:49] <ilovefairuz> salil: are you sure the file syntax is correct ?
[18:49] <Asad2005> The SSD I bought is only 60 GB and i have two options 1-partition as 20 GB root and 40GB /home 2-install all on one partition. Which one better and how about swap partition or swap file
[18:49] <lynatik> no, i use oracle. I worked with PL/SQL Developer on Windows
[18:49] <AbhiJit> gn
[18:50] <lynatik> I need the same nice program for writing PL/Sql code
[18:50] <veilig_abt> is there a way to recursively compare two directories (A & B) and find the # of files A is missing compared to B?  the two should be identical
[18:50] <Guest82283> "sudo aplay -l" doesn't show my soundcard. "sudo lspci -v" gives this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544989/ what do i do next?
[18:50] <nirazio> How can I install a real time kernel?Is there a repository I can use to install linux-rt for Ubuntu 10.10? This package used to be available from the default repositories but isn't in the 10.10 repositories...
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> Asad2005:  you could put a swap partition on a seperate hd if you wanted.  Depends on your ram. You might never touch your swap.
[18:50] <salil> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544993/
[18:50] <nothingspecial> Jemt: Somewhere in gconf you can turn the automount off
[18:51] <hylian> how do i remove unity from my netbook? i positively hate it.
[18:51] <frxstrem> how can I remove an application whose dependencies are not met?
[18:51] <salil> frxstrem: How did it get installed in the first place?
[18:51] <Jemt> nothingspecial: I can still mount it without a password
[18:52] <Jemt> I want to restrict access to external drives
[18:52] <Jemt> ... but allow my self to use USB sticks
[18:52] <frxstrem> salil: well, I installed LAMP and then phpmyadmin, and then I tried to uninstall both but something went wrong along the way and phpmyadmin didn't get uninstall properly
[18:52] <frxstrem> uninstalled*
[18:52] <hylian> will i damage anything if i just sudo apt-get remove unity and reboot?
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> hylian:  proberly not. you do have other desktop/window maangers installed?
[18:53] <nothingspecial> Jemt: Yes using the mount command
[18:53] <salil> frxstrem: Check the properties of phpmyadmin in synaptic.. There  will be an "Installed files" tab.. Individually remove all files listed in that (or verify if they have been deleted)
[18:53] <salil> Only way i can think of
[18:53] <zamba> what app do i use to create dvds in linux/ubuntu?
[18:53] <Jemt> nothingspecial: No, by simply using Nautilus - auto mount has nothing to do with restricting access
[18:53] <hylian> Dr_Willis, i ssumed that regular old gnome was underneath and that unity just sat on top of it, am i wrong?
[18:53] <frxstrem> salil: I don't have a graphical user interface to use, thus I cannot use Synaptic
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> zamba:  clarify the task.. you mean make 'data' dvd' or convert video to dvd-disks playable in dvd players?
[18:54] <zamba> Dr_Willis: the latter
[18:54] <cognitiaclaeves> I changed the resolution of the splash screen and now I can't get it to boot without invoking a text recovery screen.  ( I've uninstalled xserver-xorg, gdm, and every damned thing that I can think of to get it to boot straight into text mode. )
[18:54] <Carbon357>  does anyone think it would be possible to use a linux usb bootable distro to boot and load virtual box plus windows xp then use antivirus programs to scan that computers hard drive. ?
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> hylian:  install ubuntu-desktop - that will pull in  the full gnome desktop. and you can select gnome at the login screens
[18:54] <zamba> Dr_Willis: also creating menus
[18:54] <salil> frxstrem: Try googling on getting the list of installed files.. you should find something
[18:54] <cognitiaclaeves> I'm trying to get my system back to a "known good" so that I can reinstall the GUI.
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> zamba:  its more of a 'converting;' not burning. :) many tools can convert a video to 'dvd iso format'  i use 'devede' all the time.
[18:55] <salil> ilovefairuz: ?
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> zamba:  or perjhaps k9copy
[18:55] <cognitiaclaeves> ... but can't get it to boot past the recovery menu, which isn't helpful.
[18:55] <hylian> Dr_Willis, as usual you have been of great help, thank you!
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves:  you do realize theres a 'text' option you can give to grub tjhat will boot to the text based console, disabling plymouth and gdm?
[18:55] <hylian> ok, i am gonna apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then remove unity. thank
[18:56] <zamba> Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll give it a spin :)
[18:56] <cognitiaclaeves> Dr_willis: not sure.  I tried replacing 'splash' with 'text' in the kernel options, I still get a text recovery menu.
[18:56] <nothingspecial> Jemt: A specific drive, or any drive?
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves:   the 'text' mode is not the same as a recovery mode..
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves:  i dont get a recovery menu. i just get the login: console :)
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> # To disable Plymouth and have a TEXT boot screens  Change -> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[18:57] <Jemt> nothingspecial: Any storage device if possible. But USB devices will do to begin with. I can just remove the user from the cd-rom group
[18:57] <FloodBot4> Dr_Willis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> blank = it would start GDM.. if you use 'text' gdm is also disabled.
[18:58] <nothingspecial> Jemt: Yes
[18:58] <cognitiaclaeves> Dr_Willis: "quiet text" still gives me a recovery menu.  I think something else is going on, but I can't tell what.. the damned recovery menu clears the prompts that I would otherwise see.
[18:58] <Jemt> nothingspecial: But I still don't know how to have Ubuntu request a password when mounting USB devices
[18:59] <vonz> Could someone here help me? I'm having a major problem with my laptop. I have a hard disk of 160Gb. It was splitted to C: (Vista) and X: (Xubuntu) partitions. With KDE Partiotion Manager I formatted the whole C: and put it to Y: and Z:. Now my computer doesn't have this Multiboot-Menu anymore and it just gives me an error: "Non-System disk or disk errror, replace and strike any key to continue". I can access to my Xubuntu with the installation CD: I
[18:59] <vonz> put the CD in -> I choose Boot from the local disk -> Everything works perfectly. How can I modify this Multiboot Screen or even delete it completely?
[18:59] <nothingspecial> Ah, system wide, all users? Nor do I off hand
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves:  i have grub configred to not even show the grub recovery menu items. so  i cant really suggest anything else.
[19:00] <wish^> Im having a problem with my display driver in ubuntu, when i drag my mouse to the right out of my screen it scrolls/pans.. Almost like im using duel screen when im not, if anyone has any idea how to fix this i would greatly appreciate any help you may be able to offer
[19:00] <Dr_Willis> vonz:  sonds like you dont have grub installed. This is a pure Ubuntu system now?
[19:00] <Carbon357> Wish:  sounds like your resolution is set higher then your monitor is capable of displaying
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> wish^:  it pans around showing a larger part of the screen that was hidden you mean?
[19:01] <vonz> Yes it is. I am not sure about grub. I am second-day-linux-user :)
[19:01] <MrPicard> Greetings!, ive got a minor problem, it seems i cannot locate a mysql package in ubuntu any ideas why?
[19:01] <cognitiaclaeves> Dr_Willis: The problem is that I'm not choosing the recovery menu item... this happens when booting with the usual choice after replace "quiet splash" with "quiet text" .
[19:01] <Jemt> nothingspecial: Nope, just for one account

[19:01] <MrPicard> Also, love the new anti-flood system :D
[19:01] <cognitiaclaeves> Anyone use finch?
[19:01] <pupuserc1803c> hi
[19:01] <cognitiaclaeves> How do I get that box bigger?
[19:02] <nothingspecial> Jemt: Something to do with HAL I guess??
[19:02] <rocket16> MrPicard: Me too. :D
[19:02] <Jemt> nothingspecial: I think it would be fine to implement it in the Window Manager. I've disabled shell access. So perhaps somewhere in Gnome
[19:03] <MrPicard> Is it ok to ask questions about ec2 in here? it seems like #ubuntu-server is rather dead right now.
[19:03] <vonz> ubottu: Well you're right.. I have some stuff to keep but i can put them to other partitions
[19:03] <cognitiaclaeves> Dr_Willis: That looked like some kind of config file setting... which files was that?
[19:03] <nirazio> In Trash I can organize files by last modified date, and others,but I want to see last deleted files. Is there a way?
[19:03] <cognitiaclaeves> *file
[19:03] <rigved> !brain | vonz
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves: settings are in /etc/default/grub
[19:04] <cognitiaclaeves> Dr_Willis: That's a directory, right?  What's the file name?
[19:04] <vonz> oops, that last one was to Dr_Willis :D
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves: settings are in /etc/default/grub  is a file....
[19:04] <sin_tax> Anyone running 10.10 under VBox?  I have 10.04 running fine, curious if there are any issues with 10.10
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves:  tjheres also /etc/grub.d/* stuff
[19:04] <rigved> MrPicard: not really but ask and if someone knows they will answer, but no promises
[19:04] <cognitiaclaeves> Dr_Willis: Ok.  Thanks.  I'll give that a shot.
[19:05] <MrPicard> Ok, thanks Rigved, ok ive been using the offical ubuntu 10.10 AMI provided by Concanical and ive had minor problems such as the full locking of being unable to deploy ftp to additonal users without them using a .pem key (which my ftp client cannot handle) any ideas what i can do?
[19:06] <intick> .
[19:06] <sammy> so command-not-found checks to see if you're in the 'admin' group, to tell you you can use sudo to install a package, rather than saying you should ask your administrator. yet, there is no admin group on my box, and the only group listed in the sudoers file to run any command with sudo is the 'sudo' group. am I missing something, or should I go file a bug?
[19:07] <vonz> Dr_Willis: How can I copy my stuff to a safe partition? :)
[19:07] <rigved> MrPicard: which ftp client are you using?
[19:07] <MrPicard> rigved filezilla :-)
[19:07] <sammy> (there is no admin nor wheel group, actually. only staff.) maybe if you make someone 'an administrator' with the default gnome user admin GUI, it creates the admin group and puts them in it?
[19:08] <wish^> Carbon357: Well, there is only horizontal scrolling nothing vertical, and the screen looks completely normal
[19:08] <wish^> Carbon357: and when i scroll right, its just a black screen
[19:08] <wish^> Carbon357: i can even show half of that and half of the original screen
[19:08] <vonz> Dr_Willis, I have X:, Y: and Z: partitions. X: is for Xubuntu. I can see the Y: and Z: from KDE Partition Manager, but not from anywhere else...
[19:09] <rigved> MrPicard: ok. and are you running a ftp daemon on the server?
[19:09] <wish^> Carbon357: resolution is set to auto in Nvidia X server configuration
[19:09] <nothingspecial> Jemt: Try in system > administration > users and groups. Go to advanced settings and unchek the option

[19:12] <MrKeuner> on this macbook the boot screen image(purple ubuntu with coloring dots) is not as nice as the boot image on my lenovo x200. is it because of the video card? where can I change it?
[19:13] <rlp10> my soundcard isn't detected by "sudo aplay -l" although i can see it under "sudo lspci -v" what should i do?
[19:13] <wish^> Carbon357:  when i manually try and set the resolution, i have to restart my computer because the screen goes black.. any ideas?
[19:13] <rigved> MrPicard: did you follow this guide to set it up? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[19:14] <wish^> Is there anyone familiar with Nvidia X server configuration?
[19:14] <MrPicard> rigved: Yup but it uses a certain key system for ssh which it only allows.
[19:15] <unique> if im assigned a block of /48 ipv6 how many ips do i actually get?
[19:15] <rigved> MrPicard: ok so this key is what your users need in the form of a .pem file?
[19:15] <MrPicard> rigved correct (sadly) i just want to use it like i do on the rackspace cloud where i can just set it up in 2 clicks.
[19:16] <Redcoil> If even Xubuntu is too slow on my rather old Mac, what other light-weight PPC linuxes are there?
[19:16] <rigved> MrPicard: on rackspace you use a web server managemetn panel?
[19:16] <rigved> *management
[19:17] <cognitiaclaeves> Hello?
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> Redcoil:  not many these days
[19:18] <hplc> what the fastest way to generate 15 rows of 15 alfanumerical chars each and redirect output to a txt file?
[19:18] <Redcoil> Dr_Willis: Yes, I guessed so. It'd probably much speedier if I were running it on my internal HD instead of an external one, but I'm not quite giving up OS X :P
[19:18] <rigved> MrPicard: well, when your users try to log into your system, the server should automatically send the cert file (.pem) to the users. this does not happen?
[19:18] <cognitiaclaeves> Dr_Willis: The recovery menu still popped up.  You've never heard a text-based recovery menu just forcing itself to display?
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> Redcoil:  all i use my PPC imac for is an OS-X based 'ssh teminal'
[19:19] <spinningcompass> hplc: It involves a cat. ;)
[19:19] <MrPicard> rigved: Yup they just provide a root password to login, as on AWS this isnt the case, my server rejects all connections.
[19:19] <hplc> well not just 1 such "cube" , 1 can be done manually, but say 20 such cubes
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> cognitiaclaeves:  nope. there might be some kernel option its using, check the configs/grub.cfg i guess. or some lock/file to tell it to go to recovery mode
[19:20] <hplc> spinningcompass: well can the cat command generate random data in such a way?
[19:20] <rigved> MrPicard: oh do you use sftp or ftps?
[19:20] <spinningcompass> hplc: Mine does.
[19:20] <hplc> spinningcompass: feel free to tell how
[19:20] <spinningcompass> hplc: Well, I leave my laptop open. My cat walks across the keyboard.
[19:21] <Redcoil> Dr_Willis: Might you know how Arch Linux would fare?
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> Redcoil:  i imagine it would take forever to get isntalled.. :)
[19:21] <MrPicard> rigved: ftps
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> Redcoil:  check the disrtowatch homepage. ther emay be some other ppc linux;s out. but they are getting  a bit rare.
[19:21] <Redcoil> Okay
[19:22] <lotec> anyone know how to authenicate to an https address threw terminal?
[19:22] <MrPicard> rigved: also when i su - user it requests a password however AMIs dont get root passwords just the .pem file.
[19:22] <rigved> MrPicard: have you added the nonlogin shell?
[19:22] <hplc> spinningcompass: BAH!!!! veeeery funny, seriously, generation of truly random cubes even possible in Linux?
[19:22] <MrPicard> rigved: Nope, tell me more :)
[19:22] <rigved> MrPicard: nologin shell
[19:22]  * Dr_Willis wonders how a 'truely random cube' is different from a 'some what random cube'
[19:22] <rigved> MrPicard: it's given in the link which i talked about - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[19:22] <spinningcompass> hplc: Check out Python and numpy.
[19:23] <rigved> MrPicard: scroll down to securing ftp
[19:23] <boywonder> hi can anyone please tell me if ipv6 is on as standard for 10.04?

[19:28] <lotec> nothingspecial, ill try that forgot aobut elinks
[19:28] <Goliath> he
[19:28] <Goliath> how can i do this (mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3 file.wav) in smplayer?
[19:28] <balloooza> wish^: What nvidia card do you have (lspci if you dont know)
[19:29] <wish^> balloooza: i have a Geforce G105M 512
[19:29] <valros> Why is it that whenever a usb drive is inserted my external hdd will not mount on startup, saying serios errors ocurred?
[19:29] <mohamed> hii pepole
[19:30] <balloooza> wish^: take a look at http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us to make sure you have the right version of the driver
[19:31] <Aufwind> How do I check under ubuntu if my notebook has a 32 bit or a 64 bit processor?
[19:31] <balloooza> wish^: It looks like you should be using the latest version (some older cards support only certain drivers)
[19:31] <balloooza> Aufwind: What does the sticker say
[19:32] <balloooza> Aufwind: the processor sticker that is
[19:32] <Aufwind> balloooza: T2400?
[19:32] <Aufwind> balloooza: You mean that?
[19:32] <valros> Aufwind: look at the output of sudo lshw?
[19:33] <balloooza> Aufwind: No 64 bit
[19:34] <Aufwind> balloooza: valros Thank you!
[19:34] <balloooza> Aufwind: but usualy you can assume a processor is 64 these days, except for small laptops, and low power laptops
[19:34] <erUSUL> Aufwind: grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo
[19:34] <erUSUL> Aufwind: if you see output with lm colored in red you have 6 bits
[19:34] <lotec> nothingspecial, well that started, but needs java, does elinks support java?
[19:34] <Goliath> HEY
[19:34] <Goliath> * (Linux) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with alsa (needs the application "aplay").
[19:34] <wish^> balloooza: Im using a driver that is listed as compatible for my card and Linux 64bit, but it isnt the latest.. But when i installed i used the sudo apt-get nvidia-current command
[19:34] <Goliath> SMPlayer v0.6.4
[19:35] <Goliath> how do i do that?
[19:35] <valros> I have an entry in fstab to automatically mount an internal hdd, it works fine unless a usb drive is pluggin in at startup, why?
[19:35] <balloooza> wish^: That is fine, can you get into recovery mode on the ubuntu box?
[19:35] <wish^> im on the ubuntu box now

[19:46] <ubuntu> help with 10.10
[19:46] <ubuntu> anyone
[19:46] <balloooza> wish^: So at this point I do not know how much help I can be, I have never heard of this problem, most likely you will need to do some reinstalling, and make sure you erase config files
[19:47] <dotblank> !ask
[19:47] <wish^> balloooza: i appreciate you trying anyway, i guess ill uninstall the nvidia drivers and try and reinstall the newest version from scratch
[19:47] <dotblank> ubuntu
[19:48] <dangerFlakes> how do I edit the x config as root
[19:48] <dotblank> dangerFlakes, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:48] <Kein> sudo nano xorg.conf
[19:49] <whooby> Penguinista: I've had some clients that had problem installing it on a 32gb usb disk
[19:49] <knightwise> hey everyone
[19:49] <dangerFlakes> haha, thanks
[19:49] <dotblank> You know ubuntu provides usb images...
[19:49] <dangerFlakes> im horrible at this
[19:49] <Kein> Hey, any ida why bash ignores use_colors flag? here: http://rn0.ru/show/1341/
[19:50] <Kein> color are enabled in xterm
[19:50] <darawan> hi
[19:50] <Penguinista> so, that means, I cannot install it on my usb? whooby?
[19:50] <balloooza> dangerFlakes: X config is moved now, it is now in a .d directory, But I still think you can add things to the xorg.conf, just not change things that existed
[19:51] <toshiba_> hi
[19:51] <darawan> slaw
[19:51] <balloooza>  Penguinista Did you verify the download
[19:51] <balloooza> toshiba_: hi
[19:51] <toshiba_> im new to this and to linux
[19:51] <dotblank> Kein, hmm could you explin the problem more?
[19:51] <whooby> Penguinista: well i'm not sure, I've got a Kingston 16gb and it works great hoever I had a kingston 32gb in the past which I had no luck at all with :(
[19:51] <Kein> dotblank » I changed the default PS1
[19:51] <Kein> as you can see form the paste
[19:51] <balloooza> Penguinista: Did you try to partition the drive, and only use a small part of it
[19:52] <Kein> but problem is: thosechanges must be applied obly if colors are enabled
[19:52] <dangerFlakes> so when it says to edit the xconfig file and restart the x server, what am I editing, and does that just mean restart
[19:52] <Penguinista> balloooza: I did write it to a DVD and installed on my hard disk.
[19:52] <Kein> and they are.  ;P
[19:53] <dotblank> then reload the terminal
[19:53] <erUSUL> nirazio: build-essential and kernel headers
[19:53] <Penguinista> whooby: Yes.
[19:53] <Kein> Idid
[19:53] <dotblank> Whats your bash.rc?
[19:53] <Kein> the changes works if I addthem to the second PS1 form the else block
[19:53] <balloooza> Penguinista: That is why it is fat32 (or that is why it should be called that at least, it could be because it uses 32 bit something)
[19:53] <nirazio> erUSUL: how to install those packages??
[19:54] <erUSUL> !software | nirazio
[19:54] <whooby> Penguinista: that's the one i had som issues with
[19:54] <faction918> Any ideas why I would not be able to check the executiable bit on files on an external drive? Something in the FSTAB?
[19:54] <erUSUL> nirazio:  « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential »
[19:55] <dotblank> faction918, The drive my be mounted as noexec or not have the security descripters

[19:56] <Penguinista> Oh my god. I did a foolish thing then, I have no iso image of bt4 anymore. I taught, I could easily install ubuntu on this USB and use it, so did I formated it.
[19:56] <Kein> dotblank » check line 52
[19:56] <Kein> dotblank » it's supposed to check if colors are enabled and then use special PS1 syntax
[19:56] <faction918> dotblank: add exec to the fstab line?
[19:56] <Penguinista> :'(
[19:57] <matthiaskrgr> my monitor image was just turning strange, it was entirely filled with white and grey stripes going vertically and I had to force the PC down holding the power button donw
[19:57] <nirazio> I tried to watch a dvd on ubuntu 10.10 but with no success. I went to medibuntu to check that I have all the required repositaries. Everything was up to date. So what's wrong?

[19:58] <dotblank> faction918, what is the FStype?

[19:58] <matthiaskrgr> laptop
[19:58] <Penguinista> Anyways, I will download BT4 R2 and install it. Thanks for all your help whooby and balloooza :]
[19:58] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: duh, just got that
[19:58] <dhiaeldeen> i'm using blender, http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=200606 <<< and made this character with blender, what do you think?
[19:58] <whooby> Penguinista: np m8 :)
[19:58] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: sorry, I need to read better
[19:59] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: is it only happening when things move?
[19:59] <matthiaskrgr> balloooza: when I start the pc (booting) short before the login screen is shown, there also is a *interesting* colorswitching but after a few secs everything is fine
[19:59] <dotblank> faction918, well I don't play around with ntfs much but I guess you could technically aufs union mount the ntfs drive with a folder on ext3/4 then set the ntfs one ro
[19:59] <matthiaskrgr> balloooza: I don't know how to reproduce itm it appeared to raise from nothing
[19:59] <dangerFlakes> anyone? enabled nvidia drivers, but not in use, how do I use them?
[19:59] <dotblank> the changes to the device will get copied over to the other union and you should be able to execute that
[20:00] <matthiaskrgr> balloooza: could it be a internal hardware defect?
[20:00] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: How often will it happen
[20:00] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: and yes, that is possible but not likely
[20:00] <lotec> yea i am unable to find any packages to build in java support for elinks libmozjs-dev spidermonkey-bin both look llike they are unavalable
[20:00] <matthiaskrgr> I think it happened two or four times since I updated to 10.10
[20:00] <dangerFlakes> ill give you an internet high five if you can help me out
[20:00] <matthiaskrgr> before I didn't notice it
[20:01] <matthiaskrgr> the color temporary color shifting at startup is/was quite reproducible I think
[20:01] <dangerFlakes> is there another channel I can try?
[20:01] <dotblank> Kein, have you tried putting yes in quotes
[20:01] <matthiaskrgr> next time I'll try to connect a external monitor when it happens and see if it is affected, too
[20:02] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: so whtat is the problem then, I am a little confused now, is it just like something that happens and requires you to reboot
[20:02] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: it was an external monitor?
[20:02] <matthiaskrgr> no, the built in one of my thinkpad t60
[20:02] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: hmm, so when does this happen besides login
[20:03] <matthiaskrgr> the entire screen goes strange and I have no idea what to do against it but  shutting i down
[20:03] <matthiaskrgr> 21:02 < balloooza> matthiaskrgr: hmm, so when does this happen besides login
[20:03] <matthiaskrgr> that's the problem , I have no idea :)
[20:03] <matthiaskrgr> I joined here *hoping* (yesm that's evil ;) )21:02 < balloooza> matthiaskrgr: hmm, so when does this happen besides login
[20:03] <matthiaskrgr> that other people had the same problem
[20:03] <matthiaskrgr> and probably also had solutions
[20:04] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: actualy I just helped someone with an Nvidia problem, but their screen blacked out when they went to the side
[20:04] <matthiaskrgr> went to the side?
[20:04] <LucaS05> bye all
[20:04] <dangerFlakes> I have an nvidia problem :)
[20:04] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: I was not able to come up with a solution, but it was related to nvidia drivers
[20:04] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: Yes like move your mouse to the side of the screen
[20:04] <dotblank> nvidia makes me rage...
[20:05] <dotblank> but thats OT
[20:05]  * balloooza aggrees
[20:05] <Jemt> nothingspecial: Hello again. I found a solution to my problem. You can have Ubuntu ask for authorization when mounting devices, by changes the configuration in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy. Simply find the mount options and change the "allow_active" property from "yes" to "auth_admin" or "auth_admin_keep". Though you might want to know :)
[20:05] <matthiaskrgr> since I have a ati radeon x1300, it is very unlikely that I'm affected by nvidia drivers I think :)
[20:05] <bencahill_> hey, would it be possible to transfer a hdd command-line install to a LiveUSB install, by any chance?
[20:06] <dotblank> bencahill_, yea you should but the boot loader will be messed up
[20:06] <balloooza> matthiaskrgr: Did you look on google to see if anyone else has your peoblem
[20:06] <biopyte> i'm successfully using a huawei e1552 mobile broadband usb stick with a 10.04 box. but the stick doesnt work with a 10.10 install. the basic problem, i believe, is the stick is not properly recognized by 10.10 (no desktop icon popping up, after the stick was plugged in, no entry in /media). however, the stick is recognized by lsusb. any idea how to make that stick visible to the system?
[20:06] <dangerFlakes> so i got the restricted nvidia drivers enabled, but it says they are not being used. and I cant get into the settings. says something about editing xconfig and restarting x server.
[20:06] <wish^> how do i check in terminal which driver x i using?
[20:06] <dangerFlakes> how do I remedy this?
[20:06] <dotblank> wish^, glxinfo I think
[20:06] <Aihetleos> how to open .so files
[20:06] <i_is_broke> dangerFlakes, reboot
[20:07] <dangerFlakes> I have, but will again
[20:07] <dangerFlakes> doing it now
[20:07] <balloooza> We need to go and kill nvidia, or make #ubuntu-nvida
[20:07] <matthiaskrgr> hmm, most items seem to be related to monitor "turning off" which is defenitely not the case in my case
[20:07] <bencahill_> dotblank, would it matter if I used this? (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-boot-cd-for-ubuntu-810/)
[20:07] <i_is_broke> balloooza, i agree, it plays hell on my 240
[20:07] <bencahill_> dotblank, the computer doesn't have native USB booting support
[20:07] <Aihetleos>  how to open .so files???
[20:07] <Mjiig> http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp does that applet work for anyone? for me it stops on a black screen...
[20:08] <balloooza> Aihetleos: in short, you dont
[20:08] <wish^> dangerFlakes: did you run the command to use the nvidia config ?
[20:08] <dotblank> bencahill_, oh well you would need to use a cd to get a bootloader then chainload onto the usb
[20:08] <dangerFlakes> probably not
[20:08] <UnholyTerror> wish, egrep "EE|WW" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:08] <dotblank> or have the kernel on the cd and initramfs
[20:08] <bencahill_> dotblank, correct, would it work?
[20:08] <dangerFlakes> i dont know what that is
[20:08] <dotblank> and pass the root to be the squashfs on the usb stick
[20:09] <wish^> sudo nvidia-xconfig
 i download flash player from the official site and it downloaded as fp.so
[20:09] <dotblank> wish^, glxinfo | grep renderer
[20:09] <Aufwind> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a lenovo T60 Notepad. Everything worked fine and I booted for the first time.
[20:09] <bencahill_> dotblank, or if I could get the hdd install to stop reading from the hdd every fifteen seconds, that would work also
[20:09] <dotblank> wish^, Taht should give you the graphics card if known
[20:09] <Aufwind> But I cannot get connected to my wireless lan.
[20:09] <zamba> video editor for linux?
[20:09] <zamba> kino?
[20:09] <balloooza> Aihetleos: In that case, you put it in your browsers directory
[20:09] <matthiaskrgr> balloooza: http://pastebin.com/wK4tmt9D dunno whether it helps
[20:09] <bencahill_> dotblank, ...because I'm creating a digital picture frame, and want it to be silent :)
[20:09] <zamba> editing the odd home video
[20:09] <Aufwind> Is there a way to check if the wireless card is installed?
[20:09] <balloooza> Aihetleos: What browser you using
[20:09] <zamba> (no, not home made porn)
[20:10] <Aihetleos> balloooza> opera
[20:10] <dotblank> bencahill_, well you could load all the files into a tmpfs
[20:10] <bencahill_> Aufwind, try sudo lshw -C network
[20:10] <balloooza> Aihetleos: What version
[20:10] <wish^> dotblank: ERROR: Couldnt find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[20:10] <balloooza> Aihetleos: Or I should say 11 is out
 v11
[20:10] <bencahill_> dotblank, tmpfs = ram? only has 128mb ram :(
[20:11] <wish^> dotblank: does that mean ive successfully uninstalled the drivers :D?
[20:11] <dotblank> wish^, looks like you don't have a driver that works or you don't have x running
[20:11] <balloooza> Aihetleos: do you have flashplayer installed through apt-get
[20:11] <murielgodoi>  Hi, my touchpad is stopping to work after some minutes. How can I check logs to fill a bug?
[20:11] <Aufwind> bencahill_: It is disabled. How do I enable it?
[20:11] <bencahill_> Aufwind, command line or desktop install?
[20:12] <Aufwind> bencahill_: desktop install. :-)
[20:12] <hylian> in the future if anyone else asks, do not uninstall unity. just logout, and before login, choose ubuntu desktop version from the log in choices for desktop manager, thank goodness for my usb drive.
[20:12] <dotblank> bencahill_, is this using any embeded linux distro or you using ubuntu on some wierd device?
[20:12] <dangerFlakes> whoo, thanks wish^ and i_is_broke, im more of an idiot than i thought
[20:12] <Aufwind> bencahill_: But you can tell me the command line command too if you like, thanks!
[20:12] <dotblank> bencahill_, the disk io (to me) on a system with that little ram would use swap and cause excesive disk IO
[20:13] <cg_cnu> can some one guide me how to install sun java in ubuntu 10.10
[20:13] <bencahill_> dotblank, just ubuntu 10.10 on an old laptop (800mhz-ish,128mb ram, so on)
[20:13] <dotblank> bencahill_, if you want a minimal install for a dedicated perpuse I would go with a non-ubuntu solution
[20:13] <bencahill_> dotblank, command-line install
[20:13] <hylian> ok all thanx for the help!
[20:13] <dotblank> bencahill_, ubuntu minimal command line install
[20:13] <dotblank> ?
[20:13] <erUSUL> !java | cg_cnu
[20:14] <bencahill_> dotblank, yes I know, it's just that ubuntu is so easy, and it runs fine on this laptop (with command-line), it's just that I don't want the hdd spinning
[20:14] <dotblank> bencahill_, ubuntu minimal uses about 20mb of ram
[20:14] <bencahill_> Aufwind, what's the card?
[20:14] <dotblank> bencahill_, what are you using for display.. X or the framebuffer?
[20:14] <bencahill_> dotblank, framebuffer, using fbi, works like a charm!
[20:14] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: you can have both openjdk and sunjdk at onetime
[20:15] <dotblank> bencahill_, ubuntu by default uses the unused ram for disk caching
[20:15] <bencahill_> dotblank, disk caching?
[20:15] <Aufwind> bencahill_: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection from Intel Corporation (I hope I looked in the right place. :))
[20:16] <coventry> I am getting a boot failure similar to the one shown in this pastebin entry: <http://pastie.org/pastes/836271>.  Root fs mounts OK from a live CD, but boot stops for a few seconds on "waiting for resume device", then reports failure to mount root fs to /root (not /) because of an invalid argument.  Then I'm dropped into the initramfs shell.  It's confusing, because it's a desktop machine: no suspended session to resume.  Any
[20:16] <coventry> suggestions?
[20:16] <bencahill_> Aufwind, thx, just a minute :)
[20:16] <dotblank> bencahill_, are you trying to completely nix hdd read/writes?
[20:16] <coventry> (Karmic, BTW.)
 I want to install alchemy. A painting soft. It requires sun java runtime environment. so what will be the best option to go for.
[20:16] <Aufwind> bencahill_: Thank _you_! :)
[20:16] <bencahill_> Aufwind, :)
[20:16] <Mjiig> coventry: are you using unetbootin by any chance?
[20:16] <bencahill_> Aufwind, what v of ubuntu?
[20:17] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: you will just need the sun jre then if you arent compiling etc
[20:17] <dotblank> bencahill_, you could use the hd for the bootloader then use the flash drive for the root
[20:17] <Aufwind> bencahill_: 10.10   32 bit
[20:17] <cg_cnu> yes....I am not compiling anything. I am going to use the software.
[20:17] <bencahill_> dotblank, yes nixing hdd read/writes would do it :)
[20:17] <dotblank> bencahill_, I would recommend using /bott on the hdd
[20:17] <bencahill_> dotblank, that would also work fin
[20:17] <bencahill_> s/fin/fine/
[20:17] <everton> mshughes you see me
[20:18] <dotblank> */boot
[20:18] <blahsphemer> how do  I install the ethernet drivers on ubuntu 9.10
[20:18] <aertyu> hello
[20:18] <bencahill_> dotblank, yeah, hdd is fine, as long as it can spin down without being disturbed :)
[20:18] <KM0201> blahsphemer: most of the time,t heyare recognized out fo the box
[20:18] <Jungle> Hey
[20:18] <nothingspecial> Jemt: ty :)
[20:18] <aertyu> i m root of my system i can't do copy
[20:18] <dotblank> blahsphemer, you should'nt have to
[20:18] <aertyu> is that normal ?
 In that case which will be the best to use  and how to get it.
[20:18] <Jemt> nothingspecial: My pleasure :)
[20:18] <bencahill_> rww, hey!
[20:18] <bencahill_> Aufwind, thx
[20:18] <rww> hi
[20:19] <bencahill_> :)
[20:19] <KM0201> aertyu: how exactly are you root?
[20:19] <everton> mshughes yep yep
[20:19] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: looking now
[20:19] <dotblank> rww, still frequents this channel... wow
[20:19] <bencahill_> Aufwind, Is there anything in System > Administration > Additional Drivers ?
[20:19] <aertyu> cp: omitting directory `ouetr / '
[20:19] <Aufwind> bencahill_: I'll have a look...
[20:19] <aertyu> yes i m root when i do copy i got this error : cp: omitting directory `globalimpexing / '
[20:20] <share> hello
[20:20] <Aufwind> bencahill_: No it is empty!
[20:20] <blahsphemer> KM0201: dotblank well I tried to 'ifconfig -a' to find out my MAC address, and it does not show me my MAC address.
[20:20] <share> How can I run Vino on boot?
[20:20] <Mjiig> http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp does that applet work for anyone? for me it stops on a black screen...
[20:20] <bencahill_> Aufwind, hmm, and it says disabled?
[20:20] <aertyu> is that normal ?
[20:20] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: you can use aptitude to download and install (under Univers repo)
[20:20] <blahsphemer> KM0201: dotblank Then someone told me that the ethernet drivers might not be installed
[20:20] <KM0201> blahsphemer: is it wireless or wired?
[20:20] <blahsphemer> wired
[20:20] <cjdevlin> share: what version of ubuntu?
[20:20] <blahsphemer> I haven't connected the ethernet cable though
[20:20] <dotblank> blacksh33p, can you pastebin your output of ifconfig -a?
[20:20] <dotblank> !pastebin
[20:20] <KM0201> blahsphemer: it may not be recognized... but unlike windows, you uusally can't go to a manufacturers site, and download/install drivers
[20:20] <share> cjdevlin: 10.04
  hey.. I am a noob in linux. Can you give a detailed explanation.
[20:21] <share> cjdevlin: i know i can use vino-preferences but it loads the gui
[20:21] <Aufwind> bencahill_: *-network DISABLED are right above description: Wireless interface
[20:21] <bencahill_> dotblank, how would i do something like that (boot on hdd, rest on usb)?
[20:21] <blahsphemer> KM0201: dotblank : k
[20:21] <cjdevlin> share: System >> Preferences >> Startup
[20:21] <KM0201> why do you keep saying dotblank?
[20:21] <share> cjdevlin: yeah..
[20:21] <biopyte> how can i find out if i'm running i386 or amd64?
[20:22] <bencahill_> Aufwind, right, had a similar thing just recently, but it was on a command-line install, shouldn't affect desktop :s
[20:22] <aertyu> cp: omitting directory `ouetr / '
[20:22] <KM0201> biopyte: uname -a should tel you
[20:22] <aertyu> is that normal ?
[20:22] <dotblank> bencahill_, I'm not 100% that ubuntu will consider it a drive in the installer.. but just partition your install and use the flash drive for root
[20:22] <Aufwind> bencahill_: I can use command line too. If there is a way to solve it. :-) I need the wireless lan. :D
[20:22] <cjdevlin> aertyu: what command are you using?
[20:23] <aertyu> cp
[20:23] <biopyte> KM0121, ok  i686 corresponds to i386, i guess
[20:23] <aertyu> for copy
[20:23] <KM0201> biopyte: thats correct
[20:23] <biopyte> thx
[20:23] <PeterFabinski> hi
[20:23] <everton> mike have you configured it yet
[20:24] <cjdevlin> aertyu: to copy directories add -R
[20:24] <cjdevlin> aertyu: for more info type: man cp
[20:24] <share> cjdevlin: isnt there other way to enable vino on boot?
[20:24] <aertyu> thanks working now
[20:24] <aertyu> on man page there  are lots of word , i can't understand
[20:25] <aertyu> what mean recursive ?
[20:25] <bencahill_> Aufwind, is there a wireless icon on the top?
[20:25] <aertyu> verbose etc ....
[20:25] <bencahill_> dotblank, would there be any way to transfer an existing installation?
[20:25] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: do you work from command line or gui?
[20:25] <bencahill_> dotblank, ...if not, that's fine, there wasn't too much I did :)
 gui.
[20:26] <dotblank> bencahill_, I think you would copy over the root.. modify fstab change the uuids in grub
[20:26] <cjdevlin> share: you can google around for editing init.d
[20:26] <cg_cnu> I am comfortable with that.
[20:26] <dotblank> bencahill_, there might be more
[20:26] <joshy> !sbackup
[20:26] <cjdevlin> aertyu: [recursive] means that it will copy everything beneath it.
[20:27] <lemon> hi
[20:27] <aertyu> beneath ?
[20:27] <lemon> i have problem whit grub2 i get the message: invalid number magi
[20:27] <dotblank> bencahill_, add a /boot to fstab on its own partition
[20:27] <bencahill_> dotblank, I guess I could leave the existing partitions intact, just in case it doesn't work
[20:28] <cjdevlin> !grub | lemon
[20:28] <dotblank> bencahill_, probably have to resize the disk to fit it.. or you can leave as is and use your old root for /boot
[20:28] <PeterFabinski> how can i give users admin priveleges
[20:28] <dewy> hey having real trouble with my ubuntu, it sometimes just goes black, the computer stays on and the CAPS and scroll leds are still on. Amny ideas?
[20:28] <cjdevlin> PeterFabinski: cli or gui?
[20:29] <dotblank> PeterFabinski, you can add them to the sudoers file
[20:29] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: first you need to add the Universe repository so you can download the jre, are you on 10.10?
[20:29] <joshy> !backup
[20:29] <Theyain1> Hey, I'vbe been trying to compile Anjal using the source code from the repos and even though I have the dev libs Its asking for, the autogen.sh script is telling me that it still needs libnbtk.  Anyone care to help?
[20:29] <PeterFabinski> cjdevlin: cli
[20:29] <Theyain1> I have every nbtk lib under the sun installed and its still telling me that pkg can't find it
[20:30] <faction918> dotblank: adding the exec to fstab fixed the exec problem, thanks!
 Yes.....I am on 10.10
[20:30] <cjdevlin> Theyain1: sudo apt-get install libnbtk-dev
[20:30] <Theyain1> thats already installed cjdevlin
[20:30] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: this link will show you how to put the prefered software list to  your System -> Administration menu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding Repositories in Ubuntu
[20:31] <PeterFabinski> starwars in konsole! telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
[20:32] <coventry> Mjiig: Not consciously.  How can I check?

[20:34] <B45h_V|> hello everyone
[20:35] <B45h_V|> I'm insalling 10.10 on an SSD and was wondering if it would be save to use BTRFS. I know it's not 'save', but will it crash when I'm just using it as / partition. Not going to store important data on it. /home will be formated with EXT4
[20:35] <Egonis> I'm trying to create a USB bootable drive for 10.10 UNR, but the app I was instructed to use requires .IMG files, whereas the netbook image is an ISO... what's an easy way to create this from windows?
[20:35] <cjdevlin> PeterFabinski:  sudo adduser <username> admin
[20:35] <Aufwind> bencahill_: Yes there is one. Sorry I was afk...
[20:35] <PeterFabinski> how do i give admin priveleges to a user
[20:36] <balloooza> Egonis: Did you read the directions at the ubuntu netbook website, it tells you all about it
[20:36] <Aufwind> bencahill_: It says: Wireless Network (disconnected) and Wireless Networks (wireless is disabled)
[20:36] <Egonis> balloooza: Yes, however after following said instructions, the netbook hangs on bootup, which makes me think the image was written incorrectly.
[20:36] <cjdevlin> Theyain1: do: ldd <packagename>
[20:37] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre from terminal
[20:37] <cjdevlin> (02:35:44 PM) cjdevlin: PeterFabinski:  sudo adduser <username> admin
[20:37] <bencahill_> dammit! dotblank is gone!
[20:37] <B45h_V|> I'm insalling 10.10 on an SSD and was wondering if it would be save to use BTRFS. I know it's not 'save', but will it crash when I'm just using it as / partition. Not going to store important data on it. /home will be formated with EXT4
[20:37] <balloooza> Egonis: did you 1) use the image writer to make the usb 2) verify the download (this is not explained on the page)
[20:38] <balloooza> bencahill_: what dodblank helping you?
[20:38] <eugene_bondarenk> Hi! Has the "new version" notification moved somewhere? I am on Ubuntu 10.04 and I was expecting to see 10.04->10.10 button at the top of update manager but it doesn't seem to be there :\
[20:38] <Egonis> balloooza: Yes, I used the image writer as per the Ubuntu page, however the usb-creator on the image itself does absolutely nothing. No, I didn't verify the download.
[20:38] <prakriti> Whats a good cheap bluetooth adapter for ubuntu?
[20:38] <bencahill_> balloooza, yes, with transferring an hdd install to a usb, on a computer that can't boot to usb
[20:38] <rww> eugene_bondarenk: LTS versions of Ubuntu only notify for new LTS versions by default. See the upgrade instructions for info on upgrading 10.04 to 10.10
[20:38] <balloooza> eugene_bondarenk: 10.04 is LTS
[20:38] <rww> !upgrade | eugene_bondarenk
[20:39] <eugene_bondarenk> oh ok, thanks!
[20:39] <Theyain1> cjdevlin: Can you privately message me?  this chat is going by to fast and I can't sit here all the time to try and catch it
[20:39] <bencahill_> balloooza, ...making a /boot partition on the hdd, and transferring / to the usb, and referencing it as so in fstab
[20:39] <bencahill_> Aufwind, man, i really don't know...
[20:39] <balloooza> bencahill_: so you want to boot the machine from a usb drive, and use the current instalation
[20:39] <Aufwind> bencahill_: Thanks anyway =)
[20:40] <bencahill_> balloooza, yes :)
[20:40] <bencahill_> balloooza, if it's possible :)
[20:40] <balloooza> How big is the USB, and how big is the install
[20:41] <bencahill_> balloooza, 2GB, 1.something, respectively
[20:41] <bencahill_> balloooza, let me confirm on the install, in 50 seconds...
[20:41] <balloooza> bencahill_: Will not work, unluess it is a command line install
[20:41] <bencahill_> balloooza, it is
[20:41] <bencahill_> balloooza, booting...
[20:41] <balloooza> bencahill_: you need 3.7 GB for only ubuntu, and more for files and other things
[20:42] <cg_cnu> I will check....On my way.....
[20:43] <bencahill_> balloooza, 1018MB install
[20:43] <balloooza> bencahill_: and if you were looking to speed up boot up, the usb will slow it down, I have a machine that runs of of compact flash, and though you would think it would be fast, all it is is quiet, and slow, but it is not meant to be fast, just a server that cetches an audio stream
[20:43] <balloooza> bencahill_: woa, so you are just using command line then
[20:43] <bencahill_> balloooza, right, it is quietness I want
[20:43] <bencahill_> balloooza, yes :)
[20:43] <balloooza> bencahill_: well in that case you are proboly doing the same thing as me almost
[20:44] <bencahill_> balloooza, I'm building a digital picture frame from and old laptop, and want it to be quiet
[20:44] <bencahill_> balloooza, ?
[20:44] <bencahill_> balloooza, what are you doing? :)
 I did it.....but its getting the error message. http://pastebin.com/ZXbJ5tuE
[20:44] <balloooza> bencahill_: I have an old laptop that I am using to connect to a music stream so I have music all over my house
[20:45] <bencahill_> balloooza, ah, cool :)
[20:45] <bencahill_> balloooza, didn't need gnome or x as I'm using fbi to display the pics (framebuffer)
[20:45] <bencahill_> balloooza, :)
[20:45] <SergeyIT> [v-8]_jupiter, re
[20:45] <cha0s2358> is it possible to expand a partition? i have dual booting operating systems and need to expand my widows partition without reinstalling
[20:45] <bencahill_> balloooza, if there was a way I could stop all the read/write operations to the hdd, that would be fine also, as I can set it to spin down
[20:45] <balloooza> bencahill_: THere is a nice cd that I found that can copy whole disks, with no technicalitys, I will find it one moment
[20:45] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: ok let me check
[20:46] <ao> i upgraded to 9.04 and lost my sound card. anyone help?
[20:46] <balloooza> bencahill_: I think the usb is a much better option, hold on one moment
[20:46] <bencahill_> balloooza, ok :)
[20:46] <bencahill_> balloooza, I'll just have to get another usb stick for personal use :)

[20:52] <bencahill_> Guest98338, :)
[20:52] <hal> herghost: yes, I realise that, but it's not clear what is allowed and what is not.  if we take JDK for instance, would you say that I cannot install it on a vm and make it available for public consumption?
[20:52] <bencahill_> Guest98338, what model?
[20:52] <balloooza> bencahill_: Ok, I will give you a link to this disk that I have compresses, the reason I ask for your speed is because if it was fast, the 3X larger download outweighs the time it takes to un-lzma it
[20:52] <itaylor57> cg_cnu: no problem i like problems
[20:52] <Guest98338> bencahill_, 9k
[20:52] <cg_cnu> itaylor57,  ha ha......
[20:52] <hal> herghost: I really can't go through the hundreds of packages one by one to determine whether or not I am allowed to dothis. Even then, it's not clear
[20:53] <balloooza> bencahill_: also, I have tested the larger download, but not the smaller one, I know that the file I zipped up is good, just not if the zip itself is any good.
[20:53] <bencahill_> balloooza, fastest computer here for cpu is athlon x2 64 2.6 dual-core, with 2gb ddr2

[20:53] <bencahill_> balloooza, just give me the larger one, how big is it?

[20:54] <ao> when your in terminal (package configuration) how do u select the driver and push enter?
[20:54] <bencahill_> balloooza, is it safer using that than just copying inside ubuntu?
