[00:00] <Guest92847> (#GH::E510M1Tgewt) hello?
[00:00] <rww> Guest92847: Microsoft Comic Chat is irritating and not allowed in this channel. Change your client now, please.
[00:00] <fadax> i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ?
[00:00] <andornaut>  /quit
[00:01] <Guest92847> (#G010E810M1Tgewt) but this is the best irc client ever
[00:01] <Guest92847> (#G610E>10M1Tgewt) suggestions for a new one?
[00:01] <rww> Guest92847: xchat, irssi, mIRC, http://webchat.freenode.net/ ...
[00:02] <pw-toxic> logicalor, mysqldump tells me, that i have no access... however im wondering how mysql gets the login data
[00:02] <nillerz> bitchx
[00:02] <rww> !bitchx
[00:02] <dashx> Hi guys. Question. If I hvae 8 gb of memory is it safe to remove the swap partition?
[00:02] <rww> dashx: yes
[00:02] <dashx> rww: Anything special I have to do, or can I just remove it with gparted?
[00:02] <thunwind> I'm having trouble with lucid, I've got tor ppa installed and it's failing on apt-get update with BADSIG.  However, the key is valid and the repo can be manually validated.  I also checked apt-key has a valid key.  Any advice?
[00:02] <rww> dashx: disable it with swapoff first
[00:02] <dashx> rww: ty.
[00:03] <somethinginteres> I'm looking for away to highlight text in a PDF (like with a digital yellow highlighter). Any apps that can do this?
[00:03] <Guest92847> (#G=10E110M1Trww) try microsoft notepad
[00:03] <rww> Guest92847: /join #ubuntu-ops when you've found a better client.
[00:04] <logicalor> pw-toxic, you need to use mysqldump -u -p[yourpassword] [yourdatabase] > [yourfilename]
[00:04] <logicalor> er
[00:04] <pw-toxic> ah ok thx
[00:04] <logicalor> skip the -u
[00:04] <logicalor> or use -u [username]
[00:05] <chaitresh> hi, need help registering my irc nick
[00:05] <rww> chaitresh: /join #freenode for nick registration help
[00:05] <chaitresh> can someone help or point me to right room?
[00:05] <chaitresh> thanks!
[00:05] <musicpiff> which room can I discuss "torrent" clients for linux?
[00:06] <gmachine_24> ------> pointing to correct room
[00:06] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, what do you want to know
[00:06] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: for me its on the other side :D
[00:06] <Ben65> musicpiff: i use utorrent on ubuntu
[00:06] <gmachine_24> ;)
[00:06] <musicpiff> no its just that I dont wanna be off topic
[00:06] <Jasonn> musicpiff: I would use transmission,
[00:06] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, I use rtorrent. CLI. sleek and easy
[00:06] <musicpiff> thats why if there is a special room for this.. tell me
[00:06] <logicalor> utorrent / deluge
[00:07] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, we are telling you
[00:07] <logicalor> or rtorrent and a web gui
[00:07] <Ben65> oh yeah deluge is pretty cool
[00:07] <gmachine_24> you've had 3 suggestions
[00:07] <gmachine_24> maybe 4
[00:07] <gmachine_24> seriously rtorrent is the bomb
[00:07] <logicalor> transmission isn't very customisable
[00:07] <logicalor> rtorrent is awesome
[00:07] <Ben65> rtorrent was slow for me
[00:07] <Ben65> dunno if that's improved since i tried it last
[00:08] <musicpiff> Do the torrent clients have a built in encryption feature for downloading music?
[00:08] <gmachine_24> Ben65, I don't think that was the program.......... but I could be wrong
[00:08] <Ben65> utorrent does, i think deluge does, not sure about that though
[00:08] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, if you are asking how to break a copyright law, no one will help you
[00:08] <Ben65> whoops
[00:08] <gmachine_24> haha
[00:08] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: jumping to comclusions are we?
[00:08] <gmachine_24> mujsicpiff, I said "if"
[00:09] <musicpiff> I asked if there is an encryption feature :)
[00:09] <gmachine_24> er, musicpiff
[00:09] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, what do you want to encrypt? the download? it seems the source does that............................
[00:09] <Dash_> Halloo all!
[00:09] <Krycek> hi
[00:09] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, unless you go through a site that attempts to hide the transmission
[00:09] <Ben65> gmachine_24: i think he means the protocol and stuff, some mean ISPs tend to block all torrenting
[00:10] <musicpiff> ya
[00:10] <musicpiff> well I just wanna be safe
[00:10] <gmachine_24> Ben65, yeah. I have one of them. Sort of.
[00:10] <gmachine_24> wear a condom
[00:10] <gmachine_24> My ISP uses firewall software
[00:11] <gmachine_24> to redirect you from bittorrent sites that contain copyrighted material
[00:11] <musicpiff> how do they know its a torrent and not a regular file
[00:11] <Nisstyre> gmachine_24, ssh tunnels and VPNs are remarkable at getting around firewalls
[00:11] <gmachine_24> Nisstyre, yes, true.
[00:11] <musicpiff> Nisstyre: dont vpn's make you even more unsecure?
[00:11] <logicalor> seedbox + vpn = minimal problems
[00:12] <Nisstyre> musicpiff, uh no
[00:12] <Nisstyre> the opposite
[00:12] <Ben65> set up ssh on a server on port 80, and you can't get blocked (pretty much)
[00:12] <musicpiff> how?
[00:12] <gmachine_24> theproblem is, I don't trust seed boxes
[00:12] <Nisstyre> musicpiff, by encrypting all traffic by default
[00:12] <jiangbin> nimenhao
[00:12] <gmachine_24> actually I don't trust anyone
[00:12] <musicpiff> because your relying on the opposite server to not rat you out
[00:12] <Mahoro> please
[00:12] <Nisstyre> musicpiff, you're relying on your isp to not "rat you out"
[00:12] <musicpiff> ya but a vpn
[00:12] <logicalor> just remember gmachine_24, wearing a tin foil hat actually increases the ability of 'the man' to read your brainwaves
[00:12] <musicpiff> is connecting to another server through your isp
[00:13] <Ben65> musicpiff: maybe you should consider getting music legally?
[00:13] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use??
[00:13] <gmachine_24> logicalor, I stopped making tin foil hat jokes when dick cheney became vp ;)
[00:13] <musicpiff> im not talking about downloading anything
[00:13] <logicalor> ^_^
[00:13] <musicpiff> im just getting around how it works
[00:13] <musicpiff> I do downloading on windows
[00:13] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?
[00:14] <Nisstyre> also Ben65, 443 is the best port
[00:14] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?
[00:14] <Nisstyre> because it becomes indistinguishable from ssl traffic
[00:14] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, they catch you when the RIAA or MPAA signs up users to track the ISP addresses of the seeders/leechers
[00:14] <Jasonn> !ot | Pretty_much_everyone
[00:14] <Ben65> Nisstyre: interesting
[00:14] <Nisstyre> sorry for OT
[00:14] <Jasonn> lol
[00:14] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?
[00:14] <Jasonn> !guidelines
[00:14] <Mahoro> pleas
[00:14] <Mahoro> please
[00:15] <Ben65> Mahoro: repeating doesn't help - maybe try asking what you want in a manner people can understand easier?
[00:15] <gmachine_24> here's something to keep in mind: use a rotating set of routers and you will be getting a new IP address every few days. It will also keep your neighbors away and just in general drive people crazy
[00:15] <pw-toxic> logicalor, this was what i was looking for - thanks
[00:15] <Jasonn> Mahoro: you mean use terminal to see the running processes?
[00:15] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: sign up users?
[00:15] <logicalor> yw
[00:15] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: which users
[00:15] <Mahoro> yes
[00:15] <Mahoro> yes
[00:15] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: hahah,
[00:15] <Mahoro> yes
[00:15] <FloodBot3> Mahoro: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:15] <pw-toxic> logicalor, now i have to fight with crontabs... can you tell me where my crontab file is created after i have don "crontab -e"? i want to edit my crontab with gedit
[00:15] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, seeders and leechers
[00:16] <gmachine_24> i.e. people uploading and downloading...........
[00:16] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: so your saying they themselve's sign up seeders and leechers to track the isp of the seeders?
[00:16] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, yes
[00:16] <Jasonn> musicpiff: yes, but mostly only happens on public sites
[00:16] <gmachine_24> or really to track the seekers
[00:16] <greppy> pw-toxic: set your EDITOR and/or VISUAL environment variables and you can use gedit with crontab -e
[00:16] <Jasonn> i live in Canada, so not a problem for me
[00:17] <Dash_> Still cannot get ipw2200 to work after the last update.  A few pointers?
[00:17] <BlackDragonTechy> I'm having a problem with screen standby (monitor sleep) I was wondering if anyone could help. The screen saver in gnome currently turns on but the monitor itself never "falls asleep" it just keeps playing the screensaver. Any ideas would be great, thanks in advance.
[00:17] <Jasonn> they can see your IP addr, and then report you to the ISP
[00:17] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, we hate Canadians... cuz $1C = $1.03US
[00:17] <musicpiff> Jasonn: what if you go through a proxy
[00:17] <pw-toxic> greppy, why not use gedit /etc/...path_to_crontab_file ?
[00:17] <Mahoro> Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?
[00:17] <Mahoro> someone know?
[00:17] <greppy> pw-toxic: because you can't edit them as a normal user.
[00:17] <Mahoro> command
[00:17] <Jasonn> musicpiff: does the torrent go through the proxy, or just the access to the website
[00:17] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, proxies are not very safe
[00:18] <tyatpi_> Mahoro:  ps -ef maybe?
[00:18] <logicalor> pw-toxic i'm not sure - i have always used crontab
[00:18] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: actually, im not very fond of canadians,
[00:18] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: im from Peru, forced to come hgere
[00:18] <pw-toxic> greppy, im root ;) so i dont care about this
[00:18] <greppy> pw-toxic: also I think crontab actually does some basic syntax checking so you don't hose stuff up.
[00:18] <tyatpi_> greppy: it does
[00:18] <gmachine_24> Mahoro, stop asking the same question all the time
[00:18] <pw-toxic> greppy, ok then i think i will just work with nano
[00:18] <musicpiff> you cant download torrents through a proxy?
[00:18] <greppy> pw-toxic: then you can figure it out, the accepted way is to set your EDITOR and/or VISUAL env variables in your shell.
[00:18] <Mahoro> zorry
[00:18] <Mahoro> i am very new in this
[00:19] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, find someone from Anonymous and ask them
[00:19] <Mahoro> i configure LDAP
[00:19] <Mahoro> and
[00:19] <Jasonn> Mahoro: you mean the command to see the running processes?
[00:19] <musicpiff> whats anonomous
[00:19] <pw-toxic> greppy, no i wont do thise, because i want a minimum of configuration for my server
[00:19] <musicpiff> that a room'?"
[00:19] <logicalor> i think he's after services, not just all processes
[00:19] <Mahoro> noone know ldap araun my university an anywhere
[00:19] <Mahoro> araund
[00:19] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, google anonymous and hackers
[00:19] <Mahoro> yes
[00:19] <Krycek> XD
[00:19] <Mahoro> es fine
[00:20] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, I was just kidding
[00:20] <logicalor> Mahoro, maybe service --status-all?
[00:20] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, you've had that famous tea from Peru?
[00:20] <pw-toxic> greppy, when im right here.. can you maybe tell me how i could do backups of my system? For the scenario my system hard drive crashes, i want to restore my fileserver on a new hard drive
[00:20] <Jasonn> Mahoro: if you are not comfortable speaking in english, we have ubuntu chatrooms in most languages
[00:20] <musicpiff> oh ya, anther interesting questions I had
[00:20] <gmachine_24> top
[00:20] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: Yes, and i know, but i dont like canadians, they are mean
[00:20] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, how are they mean
[00:20] <Jasonn> Mahoro: and yes, you can just type: top
[00:21] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: have you been here?
[00:21] <musicpiff> Lets say your in a hotspot with like 50 other people using the network and you download music and just run
[00:21] <musicpiff> how do they know its you
[00:21] <musicpiff> if your on a laptop
[00:21] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, Canada? of course. my mom was from Canada and I have relatives there still
[00:21] <Jasonn> musicpiff: they could track your mac address, but they probably wouldnt go so far
[00:21] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, do you mean if you're on a laptop at Starbucks?
[00:21] <iceroot> musicpiff: ip-adress (which is set thourh dhcp which is using MAC)
[00:21] <musicpiff> gmachine_24: yes
[00:22] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, see, I knew it.
[00:22] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: i mean particularily from Toronto, people that live/drive in the city are extemely rude
[00:22] <musicpiff> iceroot: still how would they track you
[00:22] <musicpiff> if you never connect to the internet again
[00:22] <logicalor> if you are after a list of running / installed / not installed services you can also use service --status-all.  running services have a + before them, non-running services have a - before them, non-installed services have a ? before them
[00:22] <BlackDragonTechy> I'm from Ottawa, Canada.
[00:22] <gmachine_24> musicpiff, they will bust the door down, screaming "I want a Venti Americano" and dump some flash bangs around the cafe and the next thing you know you'll be in jail
[00:22] <iceroot> musicpiff: this is ubuntu support, so there is no reason ti discuss how you can use an open wlan to download mp3s
[00:22] <Jasonn> BlackDragonTechy: im from Toronto
[00:23] <fadax> i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ?
[00:23] <nit-wit> hows it going eh
[00:23] <david234> I am compiling a program from sources, how can I get from "make install" to a .deb ?
[00:23] <Mahoro> wich chatrooms is in spanish
[00:23] <Mahoro> and
[00:23] <Jasonn> gmachine_24: dont scare him, they wont go through all that trouble, and they wont het there before you leave.
[00:23] <Mahoro> ldap?
[00:24] <Jasonn> Mahoro: hablas espanolo?
[00:24] <gmachine_24> Jasonn, sssssssssssh

[00:25] <Jasonn> LOL sorry for spam
[00:25] <csree_> can someone point me to get help with network connection issues (specifically, my internet connection drops after a while)
[00:25] <gmachine_24> Ok, other than using the usual suspects - dimming the screen, spinning down hard drives, shutting off the screen after a couple minutes - is there some way to reduce to amount of power I use on my laptop running on its battery?
[00:25] <Mahoro> thank you
[00:25] <Mahoro> causita
[00:25] <Jasonn> !wifi | csree_
[00:26] <Jasonn> Mahoro: adios :)
[00:26] <csree_> thanks!
[00:26] <Mahoro> bye
[00:26] <Jasonn> chau
[00:26] <theperfecttaco> in 11.04 is there any way to customize the applications launcher on the sidebar?
[00:27] <iflema> !natty
[00:27] <blackswan> is there an ubuntu equivalent of "yum whatprovides"?
[00:27] <greppy> !backup | pw-toxic
[00:27] <Logan_> !equivalents | blackswan
[00:27] <fadax> i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ?
[00:27] <Flannel> blackswan: Does that tell you what package provided a file (already installed) or what package proves a file (not installed)?
[00:27] <pw-toxic> greppy, thx
[00:28] <Flannel> Logan_: Not quite the right tack there.
[00:28] <Logan_> Flannel: :P
[00:28] <Flannel> blackswan: That "proves" should be "provides"
[00:28] <csree_> !wifi
[00:29] <musicpiff> is sattelite connections faster than LAN?
[00:29] <lauren_> I have many questions regarding this os, making transistion from mac
[00:29] <Jasonn> musicpiff: no
[00:29] <musicpiff> slower?
[00:29] <blackswan> hmm. i don't remember, actually. i want to know what packages provide a particular virtual package.
[00:30] <Jasonn> Lauren_: such as what?
[00:31] <lauren_> I am in university and many of the students use this os, so I'm trying to get started.  for starters I use microsoft one note for a task list, is there something similar here, is there evernote or something like it.
[00:31] <lauren_> but i don't like the interface of evernote
[00:31] <Jasonn> Lauren_: I am sorry for being such a stickler, but when you talk to people, can you please include their nicks in the message
[00:32] <Jasonn> lauren_: what is one note?
[00:32] <greppy> Jasonn: an MS office product similar to evernote.
[00:32] <Jasonn> brb
[00:32] <lauren_> Jasonn, I am sry  microsoft one note is a program that keeps list of txt, pics, etc.  like a spiral but digital
[00:33] <DictatorZero> Hey, I was wondering if there was anyone one that can perhaps provide some advice/insite to a noob?
[00:33] <DrGrov> Evening
[00:33] <DrGrov> What is the issue with Java on the latest Firefox on Ubuntu 10.04?
[00:33] <pw-toxic> logicalor, everything works - thanks
[00:34] <DrGrov> It has really messed up my Java. Can not even get into my bank
[00:34] <lauren_> is this bettter
[00:34] <logicalor> no worries
[00:34] <Jasonn> lauren_: Im sure theres something like it, just dont know its name off the top of my head, though switching to ubuntu will be, undoutedly the best thing you will ever do
[00:34] <DictatorZero> I'm trying to set up ubuntu server for a web server and I need some advice on what software packages need to be installed
[00:35] <csree_> Is there a way to filter based on nick name so I can tell if someone responded to me? (using xchat)
[00:35] <LadyNiko1> greetings
[00:35] <Logan_> !server | DictatorZero
[00:35] <Logan_> !java | DrGrov
[00:35] <rww> DictatorZero: apache2 is the usual package for web serving
[00:35] <LadyNikon> Why is 32bit recommended over 64 bit?
[00:35] <Jasonn> LadyNikon: compatability
[00:35] <DrGrov> Logan_: I have Java installed already. Not ever been an issue until now with the latest Firefox 3.6.14.
[00:35] <rww> LadyNikon: because almost all consumer computers run 32bit, and only some run 64bit
[00:35] <Logan_> DrGrov: that's not the latest version of Firefox - it's 3.6.15
[00:36] <lauren_> jasonn:  How about using Rsync, is there directions online to help me learn
[00:36] <iflema> csree_: /lastlog <nick>
[00:36] <DrGrov> Logan_: Well something it managed to screw up good. Last night had no issues at all. It is at least my latest version that I can get for Ubuntu 10.04.
[00:36] <Jasonn> lauren_: Ubuntu, and the *buntu family are community run, so there will always be help online
[00:36] <skycrazy> any one help with metasploit?
[00:37] <musicpiff> if you switch to debian, is it a really bog chage?
[00:37] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: i would go to their channel for help
[00:37] <lauren_> Jasonn:  Can you direct me to a site?
[00:37] <skycrazy> can't find can you direct please
[00:37] <csree_> iflema: thanks, does that auto update in the future?
[00:37] <blackswan> Can't load '/home/hermit/work/stonesoup/i386/preprocessing/swig/SPICE.so' for module SPICE: libjava.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Operation not permitted at /home/hermit/localperl32/lib/5.12.3/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 200.
[00:37] <Jasonn> lauren_: http://everythinglinux.org/rsync/
[00:37] <DrGrov> Well, never mind about this
[00:38] <Flannel> blackswan: You can find stuff with `apt-cache search [virtual]`, the virtual packages can be found under the "Provides" field for the packages returned in the above.
[00:38] <DrGrov> Just switch browser might help
[00:38] <Jasonn> lauren_: almost all ubuntu docs can be found with a simple google search
[00:38] <Flannel> blackswan: It's not ideal, but I'm not sure what the format for the regexp search is.
[00:38] <blackswan> this is the error i get with my hand-compiled perl 5.12; the stock perl doesn't have this problem
[00:38] <crlcan81> \
[00:38] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: hold on lemme look
[00:38] <Djpenguin> I'm in the middle of writing a little script and I was wondering (OS specific) how I could open up a second shell (using xterm) but send it to the background so that my input would still be directed to the original window. The way I have it now is functional, but not optimal.
[00:38] <lauren_> Jasonn:  Have you ever installed Ubuntu on a macbook?
[00:38] <skycrazy> thankyou
[00:38] <blackswan> any ideas what I change to allow perl to load java even though it wants an executable stack?
[00:39] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: have you tried their user guide?
[00:39] <blackswan> flannel: tx
[00:39] <Jasonn> lauren_: i personally dislike macs, but am sure it will work
[00:39] <skycrazy> sure have my eyes are nearly bleeding
[00:39] <Jasonn> lauren_: I have seen someone install it on a mac, definitely
[00:39] <lauren_> Jasonn:  I like this os I think better than mac, the only thing disheartning is it is windows based rather than applications based so I can't hide a single app.  Is there a hide function?
[00:39] <skycrazy> problem with connecting to postgres database
[00:39] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: they have a wiki and a blog
[00:39] <Dash_> Jasonn: Possible to direct me to someone that might assist with a slightly broke system after a recent update?  I have done a pastebin already.  Juuuust need a few steps shown me. (Dang busy in here.)
[00:40] <iflema> csree_: your name should be highlited in text with an audio prompt, if not by default itll be inthe settings.... it should hilight your nick at least
[00:40] <skycrazy> post gres channel?
[00:40] <crlcan81> Anyone else here heard about the 'yes they are, no they aren't' over the Linux native Steam client possibility?
[00:40] <rww> crlcan81: that's offtopic here, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:40] <the_seraphim> hello. im having very low sound on my system. i touched the volume icon and chose preferences, setup my sound card to the type in the drop down and the volume cut by 80% i cant seem to find a set up that returns the old volume. i tried to check alsamixer but got command not found, its installed with alsa-utils so im lost
[00:40] <pw-toxic> !cloning
[00:40] <lauren_> Jasonn:  May I ask why you don't like mac?
[00:40] <skycrazy> been reading for days, last resort was to find some one in the know, get no response from forums
[00:40] <Jasonn> Dash_: Really dont know mate, a google search may help you find what you are looking for
[00:41] <the_seraphim> crlcan81: steam has been saying that for like 3 years... unlikely it will happen
[00:41] <the_seraphim> crlcan81: works fine under wine anyway
[00:41] <Djpenguin> Jasonn: There's also macbuntu
[00:41] <pw-toxic> greppy, is there a possibility to copy a partition?
[00:41] <iflema> csree_: oh, and no... it does not
[00:41] <Jasonn>  lauren_: Many reasons, eg, User interface, compatability, support, look
[00:41] <DrGrov> Logan_: How long do you think it will take until 3.6.15 is released for 10.04?
[00:41] <LadyNikon> skycrazy: http://www.metasploit.com/framework/support/
[00:41] <Jasonn> Djpenguin: yeah, but why install that when you can get the real thing?
[00:41] <lauren_> Jasonn:  Is there a hide feature in Ubuntu?  similar to mac
[00:41] <Dash_> Jasonn:  Been doing that all day, thanks.  :/  Will go back.
[00:41] <pw-toxic> greppy, i simply want to restore a small system partition of my system if the hard drive crashes, so i can restore everything with copying one partition
[00:42] <DrGrov> Logan_: Usually how long does it take from source into a Ubuntu package?
[00:42] <pw-toxic> greppy, the ubuntu help pages focusses on data backups
[00:42] <greppy> pw-toxic: you can use dd to copy a partition.
[00:42] <Jasonn> Dash_: Sorry i cant help you mate,
[00:42] <Dash_> Jasonn:  I appreciate it anyway.  Truly. ;)
[00:42] <Jasonn> lauren_: depends on the prog, but there is 4 different desktops you can choose from
[00:42] <pw-toxic> greppy, do you think it is a good idea to backup the system partition using dd?
[00:43] <Jasonn> Dash_: try downgrading with the alternate CD
[00:43] <Djpenguin> Jasonn:  You were looking to get off of mac, no? You'd install that because you have the functionality of linux with a pretty interface that would be more familiar to an ex-mac user
[00:43] <lauren_> Looking for Program similar to Microsoft One Note any ideas?
[00:44] <greppy> pw-toxic: you can.  I normally worry more about actual data to backup, since I can restore packages rather easily.
[00:44] <greppy> pw-toxic: I use rsync and rsnapshot to backup /etc for example.
[00:44] <Jasonn> Djpenguin: HAHA, why would i get a mac? I was actually suggesting ubuntu to an ex-mac user, but i really wouldnt mind the interface change as the mac interface is horrd anyways
[00:44] <pw-toxic> greppy, the problem is that there is so much configuration im doing..
[00:45] <csree_> iflema: no worries, I'm new to irc, and will either get used to this or find a client that will work best for me
[00:45] <Jasonn> lauren_: you can change between the desktops to see what you were looking at
[00:45] <Jasonn> BRB
[00:45] <pw-toxic> greppy, my system hard drive crashed and now i have to set up ubuntu from scratch.. dhcp   NAT   apache2 mysql  samba.. everythign
[00:45] <greppy> pw-toxic: almost all of which is stored in /etc
[00:45] <lauren_> Jasonn:  I will try to use that and see what works best for me
[00:45] <tenten> hello
[00:45] <pw-toxic> greppy, almost? what exactly do you mean with almost all ;)
[00:45] <logicalor> one of the guys at work was investigating unison for regular backups - looks interesting but i haven't played too much with it yet
[00:46] <tenten> so, how do i get from one thousand to zero?
[00:46] <tenten> i thought su is root
[00:46] <greppy> pw-toxic: user crontabs are in /var/spool
[00:46] <greppy> pw-toxic: for example
[00:46] <rww> !sudo | tenten
[00:46] <itaylor57> lauren http://basket.kde.org/
[00:46] <Jasonn> lauren_: you can also get a mac-looking doc for your ubuntu PC
[00:46] <adross> I have a dvd that is region encoded. I would like to make a copy, removing or changing the region encoding. is there a package that I could use for this?
[00:47] <tenten> thanks
[00:47] <lauren_> Jasonn:  How?
[00:47] <Jasonn> adross: why not just rip the DVD, and then just burn it on another with another encoding?
[00:47] <anass> Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it?
[00:47] <tenten> i looked at su and it was 1000 when it should be 0
[00:47] <pw-toxic> greppy, so thats bad just to restore a server... im still not sure what backup solution i should use
[00:47] <tenten> or did it return my normal priv
[00:47] <Jasonn> lauren_: there is a package you can install for that
[00:47] <lauren_> itaylor57:  I don't like the interface of evernote and ones I've tried in past, is this similar to onenote?
[00:48] <t-rask> I ran Brasero, it ran into a problem burning the CD I wanted to, so I shut the program down normally, but now when I try to re-open it, it won't open. From terminal it gives "Segmentation fault" as the error, any suggestions?
[00:48] <lauren_> Jasonn:  I know I keep asking a lot, but can you direct me to that as well
[00:48] <itaylor57> lauren open the link and take a look
[00:48] <Jasonn> t-rask: reinstall it
[00:48] <Jasonn> What is the mac-looking doc for ubuntu?
[00:48] <Jasonn> ^important
[00:49] <t-rask> Jasonn, that seems a little extreme if it was just working?
[00:49] <anass> Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it?
[00:49] <t-rask> I mean, it's no big deal, I'm doing that right now, but I would assume there's something more exact to try, heh.
[00:49] <Jasonn> t-rask just reinstall the program if a segment of it is missing, thats all i can think of
[00:49] <anass> Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it?
[00:50] <Jasonn> lauren_: i really dont know the name off the top of my head, but its really easy to install too, i can give you my email address if you need anything else after :)
[00:50] <lauren_> I am interested in learning how to use terminal more efficiently, and to create aliases for things such as compress and decompress, any Ideas were to start?
[00:50] <Black> !terminal
[00:50] <pw-toxic> greppy, just tell me if I annoy you.. im just reading through dd ... if i do dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sb1 ... can i now boot form /deb/sb1 if i plug it in as a primary drive?
[00:50] <t-rask> Jasonn, after a purge and an install, still getting "Segmentation fault"
[00:50] <Black> Hey guys
[00:50] <greppy> pw-toxic: probably
[00:50] <Jasonn> t-rask: did you also delete all of the prog files?
[00:50] <StuckMojo> hi, i've booted the maverick live cd to copy my root volumn onto my new SSD. problem is, both volumes are lvm2. i've installed lvm2 and they show up in lvdisplay, but not in /dev/mapper. any ideas?
[00:51] <BlackSaviour> I need help.
[00:51] <lauren_> Jasonn, kk
[00:51] <StuckMojo> what module i need to modprobe, or what?
[00:51] <pw-toxic> greppy, so I think i do it like this.. what do you think?
[00:51] <Jasonn> !ask | BlackSaviour
[00:51] <Jasonn> lauren_: check PM
[00:51] <pw-toxic> greppy, or can i just copy the result to a file and restore from that file?
[00:51] <greppy> pw-toxic: do it, give it a shot and see what happens. make sure and test it.
[00:51] <lauren_> Jasonn:  what does PM mean?
[00:51] <BlackSaviour> I went from Linux mint to Ubuntu, And when i did, i took a package list off mint, then when i got to ubuntu, i got its package list, i used a script to take out all the entires they had in common... kay?
[00:52] <pw-toxic> greppy, ok thx i'll try this one
[00:52] <anass> lauren_: it's Private Message
[00:52] <BlackSaviour> Then i went thrugh it manually, removed mintInstall etc
[00:52] <BlackSaviour> Things i didnt need
[00:52] <StuckMojo> they're showing up in lvdisplay, but when i try to mount one i get: mount: special device /dev/vg0/ubuntu64 does not exist
[00:52] <mickster04> BlackSaviour: one line please
[00:52] <BlackSaviour> Then i used a command to install everything on the list.
[00:52] <lauren_> anass:  how do I envoke a private message
[00:52] <StuckMojo> i've run pvscan, vgscan, and lvscan, and it sees them, so apparently i just need to make the device files?
[00:53] <BlackSaviour> Now when i boot ubuntu, grub and everythin else calls it "Linux Mint 10 Fluxbox" ... But IT IS UBUNTU 10.10...
[00:53] <Blue1> !touchpad
[00:53] <anass> lauren_: just double click on the user that you want to send a PM to him
[00:53] <BlackSaviour> I got this boot script off the Ubuntu forums, they couldnted help me at all, but ill paste bin what it told me.
[00:53] <BlackSaviour> !pastebin
[00:53] <mickster04> BlackSaviour: doesn't sound like a problem to me?
[00:54] <lauren_> Anass:  where do I double click at?
[00:54] <BlackSaviour> for someone like me who needs perfection, grub , and the boot script... and everything else... telling me im running somthing im not
[00:54] <BlackSaviour> is majorly ticking me of.
[00:54] <DaGeek247> lauren_ just type in '/msg nick text-to-say'
[00:55] <Pat> I'm having problems booting my ubuntu
[00:55] <t-rask> Jasonn, yes, apparently after I removed all config files with it, it seems to work. Huh. Thanks.
[00:55] <mickster04> BlackSaviour: maybe paste bining a list of the packages u isntalled might also be useful?
[00:55] <mickster04> !details | pat
[00:55] <Jasonn> t-rask: no problem :)
[00:55] <Pat> Is there anyway to show the error message?
[00:55] <BlackSaviour> Alright , ill paste that and the boot script
[00:55] <BlackSaviour> gimme a sec
[00:55] <BlackSaviour> and i may have uninstalled it when i tried to fix it.
[00:56] <Pat> When I'm booting I get an error message
[00:56] <mickster04> Pat: yeah, just type it here
[00:56] <Pat> Saying /devices/pci1000
[00:56] <Pat> something along those lines
[00:56] <fadax> i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ?
[00:56] <Pat> And it won't let it boot
[00:56] <StuckMojo> aha! just need to modprobe dm_mod
[00:56] <tenten> sudo shutdown -r 1
[00:56] <TajHQ> question... can anyone help me figure out how to keep my computer from booting me off of irc/muds/etc when theres zero activity (ie I'm idle an so is the channel)
[00:56] <rww> BlackSaviour: ... so you installed Linux Mint, then changed the package list to match Ubuntu's, and your contention is that this makes it Ubuntu and the grub etc. are wrong?
[00:56] <tenten> whoops
[00:57] <gmachine_24> ok.......... no help on cutting back on power usage while on battery power, other than the easy options on the GUI power preferences
[00:57] <lauren_> Has anyone used free services like DropBox for syncing filing systems and backing them up?
[00:57] <gmachine_24> lauren, just rsync
[00:57] <Jasonn> lauren_: yes, works fine, but if you have a bad connection, dont try it
[00:57] <tenten> so i should now get the 3d working?
[00:57] <gmachine_24> for me
[00:57] <lauren_> why is that?
[00:58] <rww> BlackSaviour: 1) go back in time to before the start of this silliness, 2) give yourself an Ubuntu CD, 3) install Ubuntu, 4) Congratulations, now you're actually running Ubuntu.
[00:58] <mickster04> tenten: depends what fgraphics cpabilities youhave
[00:58] <StuckMojo> hmm...dm_mod doesn't seem to be on the livecd?
[00:58] <gmachine_24> rww, my hero :) ;)
[00:58] <tenten> i installed tenten su commands
[00:58] <BlackSaviour> K, boot script
[00:58] <Pat> Guys
[00:58] <Pat> My ubuntu won't boot
[00:58] <BlackSaviour> And it is ubuntu, it just has all the extras and the name got changed.
[00:58] <BlackSaviour> http://paste.ubuntu.com/575783/
[00:58] <rww> BlackSaviour: No, it isn't.
[00:59] <Pat> I'm getting an error message along the lines of /devices/pci1000
[00:59] <anass> Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it?
[00:59] <mickster04> Pat: you're gonna have to give us the full error message, also explain what you did to break it and what you've done to try and fix it
[00:59] <mickster04> anass: apps> internet > remote desktop viewr?
[00:59] <tenten> i am amazed, it actually worked, some linux console hax and it did not kernel panic
[00:59] <BlackSaviour> http://paste.ubuntu.com/575784/ there
[01:00] <BlackSaviour> package list ^
[01:00] <tenten> i have tried every major release since ubuntu 7
[01:00] <Pat> How do I find the full error message?
[01:00] <tenten>  and tenten is the first that looks promising
[01:00] <StuckMojo> ah damn, all i needed to do was one more step after vgscan: vgchange -a y
[01:00] <StuckMojo> they weren't activated
[01:00] <anass> mickster04: it's not working because it's cannot see GDM
[01:00] <BlackSaviour> rww: Yea kinda is.... When you use a ubuntu iso... it kinda means its ubutu.
[01:00] <BlackSaviour> ubuntu*
[01:00] <Gamer19901> can someone please help me?
[01:00] <tenten> is there some package for vb 404 or is that cdonsole magic really necessary?
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> Thats the point of cusomisation. It looks/feels/acts like ubuntu ....  Just with x-chat and a good backup utility /new menu (thats really all i kept)
[01:01] <tenten> i could only find outdated console
[01:01] <Gamer19901> i want to ask for some help
[01:01] <rww> BlackSaviour: No, if you /install/ from an Ubuntu ISO, that makes it Ubuntu. I'm gathering from your convoluted process above that you started with Linux Mint and then jumped through hoops.
[01:01] <bazhang> Gamer19901, ask then
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> No i started with a ubuntu
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> And added the packages from minti that i wanted.
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> min
[01:01] <anass> mickster04: I was using it untill I needed to login, but I can't because it cannot see GDM!
[01:01] <gmachine_24> we can't read minds
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> But i musta installed a system package
[01:01] <BlackSaviour> That changed the name.
[01:01] <lauren_> how do I log into comp using putty
[01:02] <Gamer19901> is it normal for the flash plugin to make everything come up as red or yellow?
[01:02] <lauren_> what is a version of putty on mac
[01:02] <Gamer19901> or both in flickering
[01:02] <mickster04> BlackSaviour: seeing as you have a tonne of mint based packages there it's not surprising, what have you isntalled in mint that you need in ubuntu? and why not just download them from the repos like normal?
[01:02] <rww> BlackSaviour: Okays. Those packages are not supported here. Mixing repositories from different distributions is not a good idea. Go ask the Linux Mint people.
[01:02] <bazhang> Gamer19901, with compiz on or off
[01:02] <Gamer19901> on at max
[01:02] <rww> They're their packages, after all.
[01:02] <BlackSaviour> mickster04, Becuase it was faster :P
[01:02] <bazhang> Gamer19901, disable it and try
[01:02] <Gamer19901> hold on...
[01:02] <mickster04> anass: i am not sure if you can acces the log in screen remotely
[01:02] <BlackSaviour> rww: i didnt add any repos.
[01:02] <rww> BlackSaviour: s/repositories/packages/, then.
[01:02] <mickster04> anass: you have to og in when you connect so you never see the log in opage
[01:03] <tenten> how does fullscreen differ from seamless mode?
[01:03] <BlackSaviour> rww: those packages are all in the ubuntu repos which makes em ubuntu.
[01:03] <tenten> looks the same to me
[01:03] <mickster04> Pat: just boot up and write it down
[01:03] <rww> BlackSaviour: Ubuntu does not contain packages that would make your computer say "Linux Mint", so no.
[01:03] <BlackSaviour> rww: so your saying your not running ubuntu? x-chat isnt stock with it.
[01:03] <BlackSaviour> rww: nope, they dont. Thats why you download the deb files :P
[01:04] <rww> BlackSaviour: which are not supported here.
[01:04] <anass> mickster04: I remeber that there is an option in GDM sessions called "Remote session" but I can't find it in GDM Sessions List
[01:04] <BlackSaviour> rww: mhmm, your point? Just cus i did some editin dosent mean you guys can help me get it back.
[01:04] <tenten> and is there a way to make those part and connect messages go away in this empathy?
[01:04] <mickster04> anass: iunno, i dont use that, if i ever need to remote i just ssh in and use cli
[01:04] <BlackSaviour> rww: Knowlage you posses works on all distros, and if i go to the mint chat room, they will tell me what you said
[01:05] <pw-toxic> Can someone help me to configure my samba server so someone can connect to my public drives without having to submit a username and password in windows 7? i have spend about 1 hour now configuring my samba server
[01:05] <BlackSaviour> rww: SO. stop stalling and actually help a brother in need.
[01:05] <rww> BlackSaviour: My point is that your frankenstein configuration is not supported in this channel, and that you should stop asking for support here.
[01:05] <telive> hello everybody , does anyone can tell me the name of the sound driver in ubuntu?
[01:05] <fadax> i'm on a dual boot pc with windows  and ubuntu installed... is there a way to share my windows files easily? at the moment i have to mount the windows drive, and navigate to my windows user directory. is there a way to just place a shortcut to this directory on my ubuntu desktop?
[01:05] <madcatter> I just installed ubuntu on a M5405 Emachines...    wireless isn't working...  any ideas?     It seemed to install the new broadcom drivers
[01:05] <telive>  hello everybody , does anyone can tell me the name of the sound driver in ubuntu?
[01:05] <BlackSaviour> rww: if you can't sovle it, just say it.  And its not a weird config, its Ubuntu with like 3 extra things
[01:05] <mickster04> pw-toxic: try in #ubuntu-server
[01:06] <bazhang> !mintsupport | BlackSaviour
[01:06] <telive> madcatter, ndiswapper maybe a good choice
[01:06] <mickster04> fadax: you can make ashoret cut, but you will always have to mount it first
[01:06] <BlackSaviour> omfg
[01:06] <anass> mickster04: but I can't login by ssh, it said: Connection refused.
[01:06] <mickster04> anass: well yeah, thats not the same as what you are using
[01:06] <madcatter> telive...    I will have to look that up :)
[01:07] <madcatter> new to linux
[01:07] <Gamer19901> it did nothing
[01:07] <Gamer19901> still the same even when i turn it off
[01:07] <DaGeek247> fadax, try an automount script?
[01:07] <bazhang> Gamer19901, how did you disable it
[01:08] <Gamer19901> through the appearance menu
[01:08] <quipel> .
[01:08] <DaGeek247> fadax?
[01:08] <StuckMojo> hmmm...got dropped.
[01:08] <tenten> i must say i am amazed that how fast 1010 boots, it is as fast as vistas return from hibernation
[01:09] <tenten> in a virtualbox.!
[01:09] <StuckMojo> well, if anyone asks again, they just need to: pvscan, vgscan, vgchange -a y, lvscan, then mount
[01:09] <Esay_girl> http://www.palandokenrentacar.com/
[01:09] <Gamer19901> the flash plugin just crashed with no report
[01:09] <tenten> but why cannot i set the "magic" on in the effects menu, now that i have the emulated 3d drivers?
[01:10] <quipel> hi I'm wondering why the package ubuntu-restricted-extras installs freepats when it isn't a dependency
[01:10] <bazhang> Gamer19901, how was it installed, what arch are you on
[01:10] <Gamer19901> arch?
[01:10] <Gamer19901> i386
[01:10] <bazhang> Gamer19901, 32bit or 64bit
[01:10] <Gamer19901> x86_32 (IA32)
[01:11] <fadax> is there  a way to make ubuntu mount my windows partition automatically every time i boot?
[01:11] <Gamer19901> bazhang : i am running 32 bit
[01:11] <tenten> whoa, seamless mode means the dfesktop is a hole into my windows desktop?
[01:11] <tenten> christ this is hot
[01:12] <Gamer19901> i might just end up installing kubuntu
[01:12] <bastidrazor> fadax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[01:13] <fadax> thanks bastidrazor
[01:14] <bastidrazor> fadax: you're welcome

[01:19] <iCyrus> and I even tried playing them in movieplayer and they worked
[01:19] <deadkitten> anass: edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[01:20] <deadkitten> you might have to reboot/restart X
[01:21] <anass> deadkitten: thank you very much
[01:21] <mickster04> iCyrus: are they on a seperate hard drive? you may need to mout that hdd
[01:22] <iCyrus> mickster04: No, it's on the same HDD
[01:22] <iCyrus> ~/Music
[01:23] <mickster04> iCyrus: can you open the files individully fro nautilus?
[01:23] <iCyrus> mickster04: Yes.
[01:23] <mickster04> iCyrus: also if you mouse over you can usually see an error message
[01:24] <mickster04> iCyrus: thats in rhythmbox
[01:24] <iCyrus> mickster04: "Missing files"
[01:24] <iCyrus> mickster04: but the path is there, I can confirm that
[01:24] <iCyrus> and I can confirm that the file at that path is a working .mp3
[01:24] <mickster04> iCyrus: so you can double click the file and play it in rhythmbox but the media import doesnt work?
[01:25] <mickster04> iCyrus: and when i say mediaimport i mean update library
[01:25] <whitehat> If I have a problem with python would I post it here?
[01:25] <mickster04> whitehat: nope, there are python channels
[01:25] <iCyrus> mickster04: I can double click and play it in "Movie Player"
[01:25] <jgornick> hey guys, what's the best way to automatically start services in ubuntu?  i'm used to putting a script in /etc/init.d ...
[01:25] <whitehat> mickster04, ok thanks.
[01:25] <mickster04> iCyrus: right click and open with?
[01:26] <iCyrus> mickster04: Sec
[01:26] <mickster04> iCyrus: see what happens then :/
[01:27] <[deXter]> Hi all, I have purchased a DVD from BBC, it's protected by Macrovision ACP, so I'm unable to play it in Ubuntu
[01:27] <[deXter]> Any solutions? Thanks.
[01:27] <iCyrus> mickster04: Doesn't play when I open with RhythmBox
[01:27] <mickster04> iCyrus: error messages?
[01:27] <iCyrus> mickster04: Nope, it showed the file path at the bottom but then it just went away
[01:28] <mickster04> iCyrus: went away?
[01:28] <iCyrus> mickster04: The file path went away
[01:28] <iCyrus> mickster04: It wasn't showing anymore
[01:29] <anonboots> I am having trouble getting my VPN working. I followed all steps outlined by the provider in setting up my VPN, and I cant seem to get it running. Anyone able to help?
[01:30] <manosone> Can anyone who uses firefox 3, change his/her layout to something different than us and hit alt-left?
[01:30] <AStyx> http://speely.wordpress.com/2010/07/31/arch-linux-promising-disappointing/ Ubuntu rocks!
[01:30] <manosone> Please inform me if the back action through alt-left works
[01:30] <mickster04> iCyrus: tbh i haven't heard of this issue before as i use banshee
[01:30] <bazhang> AStyx, dont paste here please
[01:31] <manosone> anonboots, give us a link
[01:31] <iCyrus> mickster04: Is Banshee more resource-heavy than Rhythm Box?
[01:31] <bazhang> iCyrus, clear the existing database and relist
[01:31] <iCyrus> bazhang: Tried that, about 3 times
[01:31] <anonboots> Pasting: here is the VPN website, and the steps it lays out https://www.anonine.com/en/guides/linux_gui
[01:32] <bazhang> iCyrus, how did you do that
[01:32] <mickster04> iCyrus: uhm i really don't know. i can't see why
[01:32] <iCyrus> bazhang: Highlighted all (ctrl + a), then went to edit -> remove
[01:32] <iCyrus> Then after they were all gone and there was nothing showing, I went to file -> add folder or whatever the path to do that is
[01:32] <iCyrus> and added ~/Music
[01:33] <bazhang> iCyrus, what about completely purging it
[01:33] <iCyrus> and the songs get added, they show up in Rhythm Box, but they just delete when I play with the message "File Missing"
[01:33] <iCyrus> bazhang: What do you mean?
[01:33] <bazhang> iCyrus, rhythmbox
[01:33] <iCyrus> bazhang: Hm>?
[01:33] <manosone> anonboots, while i check your vpn issue do this.Change your layout to something different than us english and hit alt-left.Tell me if you went on the previous page
[01:33] <bazhang> iCyrus, purge it and reinstall
[01:34] <iCyrus> bazhang: Does that mean uninstall/reinstall?
[01:34] <anonboots> manosone: Yes, it did.
[01:34] <bazhang> iCyrus, go into synaptic package manager and do it from there
[01:35] <bazhang> iCyrus, trying another music player such as audacious (very light) or banshee as well.
[01:35] <manosone> anonboots: which layout did you used?Which version of Firefox?
[01:35] <iCyrus> bazhang: Would Audacious work with my PSP?
[01:36] <BlackDragonTechy> Is there a work around to get Apple DAAP streams to play in rhythmbox?
[01:36] <bazhang> iCyrus, doubtful, banshee would more likely (audacious is very bare bones)
[01:36] <anonboots> manosone: 3.6.14 English UK
[01:36] <anonboots> And what do you mean by layout? Keyboard layout?
[01:37] <iCyrus> bazhang: What do you prefer? Between Rhythmbox and Banshee?
[01:37] <manosone> anonboots: yes keyboard layout.Do this.Add a greek layout, switch to it, and try alt-back
[01:38] <bazhang> iCyrus, neither, I use audacious
[01:38] <AStyx> setxkbmap do the thing also
[01:38] <anonboots> Manosone: I used Afghanistan
[01:38] <anonboots> It worked.
[01:39] <manosone> anonboots:because i need username/password for your vpn and i assume you do not want to give it in public, please tell me what is the message you received
[01:39] <manosone> anonboots: thanks for the help in the firefox problem
[01:40] <iCyrus> bazhang: I don't see a 'purge' option in the Synaptic Package Manager
[01:40] <drake_> Is anyone on this channel?
[01:40] <rww> drake_: no
[01:40] <mickster04> iCyrus: completely remove
[01:41] <anonboots> manosone: Check PM
[01:41] <blackshirt> hello
[01:41] <mickster04> drake_: that is one of the worst questions to ask in this channel. just sak your quesstion, if anyone knows the answer they will speak? that will be the same regardless of how many people there are here.....
[01:41] <mickster04> drake_: nothing peronal mind
[01:41] <mickster04> blackshirt: greetings
[01:42] <mickster04> personal*
[01:42] <blackshirt> good morning
[01:42] <mickster04> blackshirt: problem
[01:42] <mickster04> ?
[01:43] <blackshirt> i having trouble samba4 on ubuntu..anyone can help ?
[01:43] <craigbass1976> Is firefox wonky lately for any of you?  I just got the update and haven't restarted yet, so hopefully it's better.  A lot lately though it hangs and gets dark.  Sometimes it comes uut of it, sometimes I have to kill it
[01:43] <drake_> I am trying to install LibreOffice from the internet and it set me up with a debian installer. However, the Software center, which opened the software center. However, it would not install it. There was also an rpm installer. Shouls I use that or should i just not do anything and use the pre-loaded software?
[01:43] <red2kic> blackshirt: Many people here use samba, imo. I'm not too sure about samba4.
[01:43] <mickster04> drake_: uhm was there an install button on the page that got opened in the software centre
[01:43] <drake_> sorry about the typo
[01:43] <mickster04> ?
[01:44] <mickster04> !details | blackshirt
[01:44] <mickster04> drake_: there normally is
[01:44] <blackshirt> hmm
[01:45] <drake_> yes, there was, but it pulled up an error message. let me type what it said
[01:45] <cma`> how do I list mounted volumes and their underlying /dev/ entry?
[01:45] <bazhang> cma`, sudo blkid
[01:46] <bastidrazor> cma`: type mount
[01:46] <drake_> Dependency is not satisfiable: libreoffice3-ure
[01:46] <bazhang> drake_, is there not a PPA for libre?
[01:46] <mickster04> drake_: uhm. not sure about that, an rpm will not work for you at all...
[01:46] <cma`> bazhang, bastidrazor thanks
[01:47] <drake_> let me browse through the archive to see real quick
[01:47] <bazhang> drake_, you could wait a month and get libre with natty
[01:47] <mickster04> drake_: it won't be in the default repos i think, you will have to browse their site, see if there is a ppa for libre
[01:47] <mickster04> drake_: that would definitly help
[01:48] <bazhang> drake_, check the ppa search site at launchpad
[01:49] <drake_> not as far as i can see
[01:49] <drake_> I can just wait for the next ubuntu release
[01:49] <mafia> tes
[01:50] <mafia> helo
[01:50] <mickster04> hi
[01:50] <drake_> Thanks for your help

[01:53] <jonstanford> After the last update to .29 Grub2 can't read initrd.img, though i can boot into the last good version by manually reading initrd.img.old.  How do I go about getting the (corrupt) update to reload?
[01:57] <A|i3N> Anyone in here familiar with the app "Spinner"
[01:57] <itaylor57> bazhang: thanks for the link on libreoffice ppa, I am using it now
[01:57] <bazhang> A|i3N, whats the question
[01:58] <A|i3N> well.. installed it from software center. Can't find it to run it.
[01:58] <bazhang> A|i3N, what about alt f2 spinner
[01:58] <NicholasRoge> Anyone mind giving me a hand?  I"m running a server, and using ubuntu server as the OS.  But for some reason, I can't access the sql server from outside localhost.  Anyone mind helping me figure out why?  (I've already made sure to forward port 3306)
[01:58] <mickster04> #uuntu-server
[01:58] <mickster04> #ubuntu-server
[01:59] <bazhang> NicholasRoge, ^
[01:59] <NicholasRoge> Okay, sorry.
[01:59] <einoensio> Hello. Is save to remove hidden files/folders from ~/home? I mean those files wich stays there after you have uninstalled programs.
[02:00] <mickster04> e=eitry sudo apt-get autoremove and autoclean
[02:00] <mickster04> see if that removes anythin einoensio
[02:00] <craigbass1976> Is there an X-Wing clone for ubuntu?
[02:00] <brandon420> whats a easy way to mount, .iso, .bin/.cue?
[02:00] <mickster04> brandon420: double click on it?
[02:01] <bazhang> brandon420, what sort of iso
[02:01] <A|i3N8> ok if you typed anything after I asked my question, i got discoed.
[02:01] <brandon420> mickster04, yeah, that doesnt work
[02:01] <prometheanfire> my wireless keeps on going up and down, here is my /etc/network/interfaces  http://dpaste.com/474031/
[02:01] <brandon420> bazhang, its a game.     .bin/.cue
[02:01] <prometheanfire> it cycles ever 2-3 seconds
[02:01] <bazhang> brandon420, windows game?
[02:01] <mickster04> A|i3N8: try alt+f2 then spinner
[02:02] <A|i3N8> so um, yea, please retype :) I installed that app so it'd keep pinging so my cellular connection won't keep dying.
[02:02] <prometheanfire> 04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[02:02] <brandon420> bazhang, ofc
[02:02] <einoensio> mickster04 : That wont remove them. There are forexample old wine files and old game configuration files
[02:02] <mickster04> oh well then probably wasfe? why not?
[02:02] <mickster04> einoensio: ^
[02:02] <A|i3N8> mickster04 - doesn't seem to do anything
[02:03] <craigbass1976> prometheanfire, is it your card, or the router?  I've had bad luck with a couple of dlinks, and this belkin I have now turds out if I send or receive too much data.  Also, I think our tenant's droid phone does something to it; if I shut her off things seem to go better
[02:03] <mickster04> A|i3N8: open a terminal and type spinner -a
[02:03] <prometheanfire> craigbass1976: I can test from my laptop
[02:03] <mickster04> A|i3N8: open a terminal and type spinner -h*]
[02:04] <mickster04> A|i3N8: so not -a but -h
[02:04] <A|i3N8> oh wow. ok that looks like not what I thought it was. lol. -a and -h did the same thing though.
[02:04] <prometheanfire> lol, need to open the firewall to test the transfer
[02:04] <mickster04> A|i3N8: very good
[02:05] <j_ayen_green> The sysrq key is enabled on my 10.4 system, but when I do alt-sysrq-letter all I get is a popup asking me if I want to save the screenshot
[02:05] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[02:05] <A|i3N8> ok is there a ... preferably graphical program that'll run in the tray.... that will simply ping a website or something ever 5 or 10 secondsand keep my internet connection going?
[02:05] <ExplodingPiglets> YIKES
[02:05] <mickster04> ExplodingPiglets: sounds about right
[02:05] <A|i3N8> wow haven't seen one of those in a while.
[02:06] <j_ayen_green> didn't know asking about sysrq would have that kind of result!
[02:06] <mickster04> A|i3N8: consider just opening up facebook, that should keep an open connection?
[02:06] <mickster04> j_ayen_green: like googling google :p
[02:06] <j_ayen_green> mickster04, hah, yeah :)
[02:06] <A|i3N8> Nope - if it's just sitting there and I'm chatting with someone, it'll keep dropping off. So far, IRC seems to be keeping it alive. Maybe I should just keep XChat open in a busy channel like this one lol
[02:07] <neorc> can i filer out the login & logout info in irc? it's kind of annoying.
[02:07] <mickster04> A|i3N8: uhm, ok, easiest way i guess but there is something more wrong with the connection imo
[02:08] <mickster04> neorc: /ignore #ubuntu joins quits leaves
[02:08] <A|i3N8> i'm connected through a MetroPCS cell phone, it seems to need constant activity or it keeps constantly d/c and r/c.. not a big deal when i'm just surfing, but screws other stuff up
[02:08] <jonstanford> Hi, can anyone give me advice on getting a corrupt update to load again?
[02:09] <deckard42_> anyone know how to make the gnome-panel confine to one monitor in a twinview setup, but also have it expand to the width of that monitor?
[02:09] <mickster04> jonstanford: give us mmore details
[02:09] <A|i3N8> So yea - that's what is wrong with the connection. It's a cell phone that's not really made for heavy tethered internet LOL
[02:09] <mickster04> A|i3N8: yeah ok
[02:09] <jonstanford> last regular update resulted in a /initrd.img that grub2 can't read
[02:10] <A|i3N8> Ubuntu is cool though, it picked it right up when i plugged the data cable in. Less configuration then windows needed, metroPCS was already in there even
[02:11] <mickster04> jonstanford: have you tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal?
[02:11] <neorc> help say
[02:11] <bazhang> neorc, with what
[02:11] <mickster04> neorc: did that work?
[02:11] <progre55> hey guys, anyone knows how to install the mozilla-plugin-gnash? I have installed it, but ff4 still wont play flash vids
[02:11] <jonstanford> no, only used terminal to reload grub
[02:11] <progre55> I mean, I've apt-get installed it
[02:12] <neorc> actually not, it says the joins arg is unknown
[02:12] <A|i3N8> One more question if I may. :) Got a couple small video files I'm trying to convert to MP4 to play on my playstation 3. 2 or 3 of 'em stop processing and just sit there maybe 1/3 of the way through, although they play ok in the current format. I'm using Arista Transcoder to do it. Any way to figure out why it won't finish processing them?
[02:12] <mickster04> jonstanford: well try that, then do sudo updae-grub2
[02:12] <bazhang> A|i3N8, try handbrake?
[02:12] <jonstanford> OK, Thanks!
[02:13] <bazhang> A|i3N8, are these ripped from dvd?
[02:14] <bazhang> A|i3N8, if so, you might choose to use ogmrip instead as it has loads of nice presets
[02:14] <brandon420> can someone tell me how to mount a .bin/.cue file?
[02:14] <mickster04> jonstanford: well try that, then do sudo update-grub2*
[02:14] <brandon420> ubutntu 10.10
[02:14] <prometheanfire> craigbass1976: nope, still 4.6 KBps vs the 2.8MBps of the laptop
[02:14] <bazhang> !iso

[02:14] <A|i3N8> Well. They were downloaded, so I don't know
[02:15] <mickster04> neorc: try that
[02:15] <A|i3N8> They're old bugs bunny cartoons
[02:15] <bazhang> A|i3N8, handbrake then
[02:15] <A|i3N8> ok I will try that one

[02:17] <bazhang> wizkid5059, ubuntu support issue?
[02:17]  * wizkid5059 has a question?
[02:17] <bazhang> wizkid5059, please stop with the /me and ask
[02:17] <prometheanfire> don't ask to ask
[02:18] <wizkid5059> I wish to install ubuntu on my laptop. Trouble is, it won't boot from a CD.
[02:18] <aeon-ltd> wizkid5059: does it support cd booting?
[02:18] <wizkid5059> Yes
[02:18] <bazhang> wizkid5059, md5 the iso yet?
[02:18] <wizkid5059> what
[02:18] <bazhang> !md5 | wizkid5059 have a read
[02:18] <prometheanfire> md5 the cd too
[02:19] <bazhang> disk integrity check actually
[02:19] <mickster04> prometheanfire: nope, that won't work :p
[02:19] <bazhang> wizkid5059, md5 iso, reburn at low speed do the disk integrity check
[02:19] <bazhang> wizkid5059, or use unetbootin and the like to make a usb installer stick
[02:20] <bazhang> !usb > wizkid5059
[02:20] <wizkid5059> Well, trouble is, I DID install it onto the laptop. I used another laptop, placed my hard drive in, installed, switched back, and got a message to update my BIOS.
[02:20] <wizkid5059> Sorry for a long response
[02:20] <bazhang> wizkid5059, thats not an ubuntu issue
[02:21] <killown> does ubuntu support bluetooth adapter? because this is not working with my bluetooth phone, but it works with windows very fine....
[02:21] <prometheanfire> mickster04: you can md5 a block device
[02:21] <prometheanfire> 2f711edc31571813c674fc4658d05f46  /dev/vg/opt
[02:21] <mickster04> !bluetooth
[02:21] <mickster04> killown: ^
[02:21] <wizkid5059> Wwl,, it goes to the GUI, shows my Gradient image, and refuses to go any further.
[02:21] <bazhang> prometheanfire, well the disk integrity check is what is recommended
[02:21] <killown> mickster04,  [  884.201421] hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout
[02:21] <wizkid5059> Well, it goes to the GUI, shows my Gradient image, and refuses to go any further.
[02:21] <prometheanfire> ya, that would be best
[02:21] <bazhang> wizkid5059, gradient image?
[02:22] <neorc> mickster04: neither, seems this command is to filter out someone's talking
[02:22] <wizkid5059> I use a gradient as a background.
[02:22] <bazhang> wizkid5059, try booting without splash then
[02:22] <mickster04> neorc: what do you mean? that sentence made no sense
[02:22] <wizkid5059> how
[02:22] <bazhang> !nox | wizkid5059
[02:23] <bazhang> neorc, its to hide joins and parts
[02:23] <bazhang> neorc, you using irssi?
[02:23] <neorc> bazhang: xchat
[02:23] <wizkid5059> It does not matter what backdrop I use. I tried 8.04 once and it just hung at the same place for 48 HOURS
[02:23] <killown> mickster04,  Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)
[02:24] <bazhang> neorc, right click channel and choose hide joins/parts
[02:24] <killown> doesn't work
[02:24] <mickster04> killown: i don't know how to fix it, i figured i could at least give u a starting poiint
[02:24] <bazhang> wizkid5059, need some error messages to proceed
[02:24] <neorc> ...so easy, and i did't find it
[02:25] <bazhang> neorc, got it now?
[02:25] <neorc> bazhang, thanks a bunch
[02:25] <wizkid5059> None. Just a blank desktop, backdrop only. No errors.
[02:25] <bazhang> neorc, welcome
[02:25] <bazhang> wizkid5059, what about starting in recovery mode
[02:25] <mickster04> wizkid5059: ctrl+alt+f5
[02:25] <wizkid5059> I then went to install Windows XP on the laptop. Now, it's a Bluescreen-Reboot chain.
[02:25] <A|i3N8> bazhang - ok found a how to guide for adding the repository and key and all that - which version do I want - GTK - GUI?
[02:25] <wizkid5059> It's crap anyway.
[02:26] <bazhang> A|i3N8, yep
[02:26] <A|i3N8> kool i'm proud of myself ;) lol
[02:26] <bazhang> wizkid5059, hold shift at boot to get there
[02:26] <neorc> bazhang, btw, if i wanna use a command, how to?
[02:26] <bazhang> neorc, what sort of command
[02:27] <wizkid5059> I mainly use this desktop (half life 1, civilizations 1, Steam) and my CR-48. (YouTube, Facebook, ETC.)
[02:27] <A|i3N8> now that's something I don't have to do in windows lol. But then again, it's easier to install things with ubuntu - one click if it's there :)
[02:27] <cromson> hi everybody
[02:27] <LadyNikon> hi cromson

[02:27] <rkantos> How can I invoke my GOBI UN2420 WWAN modem? It showed in connection manager once I had installed Ubuntu, but has now disappeared. Any help?
[02:27] <wizkid5059> I've given up. I think: Restore it and sell it as a bargain laptop OR have it microwaved.
[02:28] <bazhang> neorc, either right click channels you have on autojoin or check in preferences
[02:28] <A|i3N8> thank you bazhang, maybe this software will work better for me. Trying to put these on disc for the kids. Thank you also Mickster04 :)
[02:28] <bazhang> A|i3N8, welcome
[02:29] <wizkid5059> What do you think? Sell or MIcrowave?
[02:29] <wizkid5059> What do you think? Sell or Microwave?

[02:30] <mickster04> wizkid5059: i think you going away is a good enough resolution for me
[02:31] <banisterfiend> hey, if im running gnome, can i still use tools like kdiff3? when i go to install 'kdiff3' it's like 200 megs that sounds ridiuclous for a freaking merge tool, waht's the deal?
[02:32] <bazhang> !find diff
[02:33] <cromson> My ubuntu machine behaves rather strange.. It's set up as a NAS, running the latest ubuntu version, and it has samba installed. But since today my windows 7 machine refuses to resolve the "netbios name" nas. I have recently done "apt-get upgrade" and then moved the machine to another room. Before that it worked fine.. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[02:33] <AnnaOnMac> Hello any Mactel folks here?
[02:33] <AnnaOnMac> Need some urgent help.
[02:33] <bazhang> AnnaOnMac, related to ubuntu?
[02:34] <milind> i want to be able to start apache2 from a remote script...i tried ssh -t user@host 'sudo apache2ctl start' but its not working..can any one tell me the corrct way
[02:34] <AnnaOnMac> Its an ubuntu type Linux mint.
[02:35] <AnnaOnMac> Its booting.

[02:36] <sacarlson>  cromson maybe winbind problem, is it installed?
[02:36] <cromson> @sacarlson: never heard of winbind.. do you mean on the server or the client?
[02:36] <LadyNikon> doh
[02:37] <LadyNikon> dual monitors didnt auto detect :(
[02:37] <rww> Hi. I'm about to remove some bans involving URLs. I don't know what's at them, so I recommend you don't click them. kthx.
[02:37] <bazhang> LadyNikon, using xrandr ?
[02:37] <sacarlson> cromson: it would be on your ubuntu nas I would think
[02:37] <cromson> let me check
[02:37] <Leandro> helooo
[02:38] <LadyNikon> bazhang: this is a fresh install.  I havent looked into it yet.
[02:38] <LinuxGuy2009> I think I read somewhere that grub2 can autodetect filesystems or other linux installs. Does this mean that I can install ubuntu on my first hard drive and something like kubuntu on drive 2 and when I boot up, grub2 will automagically allow me to choose between the two?
[02:39] <sacarlson> cromson: maybe take a peak at this http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html
[02:39] <cromson> @sacarlson: nope, it's not installed
[02:40] <A|i3N8> bazhang - um.. got everything set up..... but start button is greyed out.. ? Do I need the metapackage too or something?
[02:40] <Leandro> estou no Kurumim, brasileiro, rsrsss
[02:40] <cromson> @sacarlson: and as far as I can tell I just did an apt-get upgrade
[02:40] <bazhang> A|i3N8, load a file first
[02:40] <cromson> is there maybe a new setting I haven't discovered yet?
[02:41] <Leandro> Kurumim, Linux, 100% Brazil
[02:41] <bazhang> Leandro, offtopic here
[02:41] <Leandro> ok
[02:41] <A|i3N8> Yea - already loaded, destination set...
[02:43] <A|i3N8> think I found the problem. "libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable."
[02:43] <sacarlson> cromson: well it can't hurt too much to try winbind, I'm not sure what was used to resolve in your previos edition so sudo apt-get install winbind could be one posible solution
[02:44] <bazhang> A|i3N8, libdvdcss from medibuntu.org then
[02:44] <ohsix> A|i3N8: run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[02:44] <bazhang> A|i3N8, err sorry libdvdcss2
[02:44] <Leandro> Ubuntuzão??
[02:45] <Leandro> Ubuntu Good??
[02:45] <bazhang> Leandro, yes
[02:45] <Logan_> !br | Leandro
[02:46] <Leandro> Ok, Ubuntu brazil
[02:46] <Leandro> eu sou ninja
[02:46] <Logan_> Leandro: Please stop.
[02:47] <prometheanfire> it looks like ubuntu is having my wireless card reauthenticate ever 2-3 seconds
[02:49] <Leandro> weight excuse
[02:49] <sacarlson> prometheanfire: is that with a wpa encryption network?  if so maybe try wicd or wpagui
[02:49] <Leandro> Logan, weight excuse
[02:49] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all.  Any idea how to transfer music from my ipod nano 3rd gen to ubuntu 10.10?
[02:49] <Logan_> Leandro: what?
[02:49] <bazhang> SeanInSeattle, using banshee?
[02:50] <Logan_> !ipod | SeanInSeattle
[02:50] <ReinH> Hi folks. Trying to write an init.d script. Stop is not working, could that be because the command that is bring run is different from $NAME?
[02:50] <sacarlson> prometheanfire: if posible choose wpasupplicant in whatever network manager you might use
[02:50] <SeanInSeattle> Logan_:  I'm not *adding*.... I'm trying to get my music _off_ my ipod.
[02:50] <ReinH> I'm using start-stop-daemon ... --name $NAME
[02:50] <prometheanfire> sacarlson: I do not have xorg
[02:51] <prometheanfire> sacarlson: http://dpaste.com/474031/
[02:51] <A|i3N8> bazhang - done - last entry in activity windows is libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access - so no errors, but still can't hit start lol
[02:51] <Jasonn> hello there
[02:51] <Jasonn> i messed up the sudoers file, and now i cant edit it again
[02:51] <Leandro> I apologize
[02:51] <ReinH> so I guess me question is: if I've written a wrapper for the start command in, say, /usr/local/bin/foobar, how do I change the process name as reported by /proc/pid/stat?
[02:51] <ReinH> *my
[02:51] <Jasonn> and i cant use the sudo command,so i dont have root access
[02:52] <rww> Jasonn: boot from a livecd and fix it, and use visudo next time.
[02:52] <SeanInSeattle> bazhang:  Sure.  How would I do it with banshee?
[02:52] <bazhang> A|i3N8, got all the codecs installed? x264 ubuntu-restricted-extras and the like?
[02:52] <Jasonn> rww: how do i fix it with a livecd?
[02:52] <Trfsrfr> Hey all, I have some Linux rookie questions regarding dual monitors and sound...
[02:52] <Leandro> Logan, you're an administrator of the chat?
[02:52] <bazhang> A|i3N8, what format to what format did you want to convert
[02:52] <rww> Jasonn: mount the / partition on your hard disk, open the terminal, sudo nano /media/whatever/etc/sudoers
[02:52] <Logan_> Leandro: no
[02:53] <AnnaMactel> Hi, I am on a mac. I installed from a singleboot from a ubuntu livecd and now my computer won't be anywhere but the livecd.
[02:53] <bazhang> Leandro, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[02:53] <bazhang> AnnaMactel, using mint?
[02:53] <rww> Leandro: no, but the people that are agree with him on this.
[02:53] <Leandro> You no administrator ?
[02:53] <ReinH> hmm, can I just reset ARGV[0]?
[02:53] <Leandro> ok, soee
[02:53] <bazhang> Leandro, ----> #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:53] <Jasonn> rww: isnt the / partition already mounted on my hard disk?
[02:54] <rww> Jasonn: If you boot from a LiveCD? dunno, depends on Ubuntu version I think.
[02:54] <AnnaMactel> It is mint, but they really haven't been able to help me on there irc. I thought there might be someone knowing about mac and ubuntu linuxes here.
[02:54] <rww> I haven't done it in a while.
[02:54] <Jasonn> rww: xubuntu 10.10
[02:54] <rww> AnnaMactel: We don't support Mint in here. At all.
[02:54] <bazhang> !mintsupport | AnnaMactel
[02:54] <bazhang> AnnaMactel, more the reason to never use Mint
[02:54] <rww> When choosing a distro, the amount of support you can get for it should be a factor.
[02:54] <A|i3N8> bazhang - MPG and AVI to MP4 ... as far as codecs, I'm not sure. Like I said, I'm new to this.
[02:55] <A|i3N8> I may not.
[02:55] <ReinH> or should I use exec -a ?
[02:55] <sacarlson> prometheanfire:  you should try wpa_supplicant in your interfaces file example here but might find better ones if you look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=419020
[02:55] <bazhang> A|i3N8, check the package manager for 264 and -restricted-extras then
[02:55] <A|i3N8> Ubuntu Restricted Extras are not installed according to the software center
[02:56] <bazhang> A|i3N8, pretty important, those
[02:56] <A|i3N8> x264 for Mpeg-4 is not installed, regular one is
[02:56] <Leandro> ok, I'm going to embrace all and good night
[02:56] <bazhang> A|i3N8, apt-cache search 264  or in synaptic as well
[02:56] <A|i3N8> The very one that handbrake is trying to use. LOL
[02:56] <Alex--> hello
[02:56] <Leandro> ok, I'm going to embrace all and good night
[02:57] <bazhang> Leandro, ok
[02:57] <Alex--> i'm running 11.04 alpha 3 from live usb, but the unity interface doesnt shows up, why is that??
[02:57] <bazhang> Alex--, #ubuntu+1 please
[02:57] <A|i3N8> When you say Synaptic - you mean the software center right? :)
[02:57] <Leandro> I just wanted an American kitty for me, just that! : P
[02:58] <bazhang> A|i3N8, that will do as well, synaptic package manager is something separate however
[02:58] <Leandro> And hot, and cute
[02:58] <bazhang> Leandro, please stop
[02:59] <rww> Leandro: I recommend that the next thing you say be on-topic for #ubuntu.
[02:59] <Leandro> good night
[02:59] <Jasonn> Is there any way that i can get root access without using sudo on terminal?
[02:59] <Leandro> Ok
[02:59] <Jasonn> Or on mousepad?
[02:59] <A|i3N8> oh ok. Dangit I learned DOS inside and out when i was 12, learned windows 3.1 - 7 inside and out. By god I'll learn Linux too! hehehe
[02:59] <Leandro> Yess, Bye bye
[03:00] <edbian> A|i3N8, It's gonna take more time.  There is a lot more to learn :)
[03:00] <edbian> Jasonn, not in Ubuntu.
[03:00] <A|i3N8> Oh I know. lol.
[03:00]  * LadyNikon watches the updates fly
[03:00] <A|i3N8> It'll take years i'm sure but I'm a quick learner when it comes to computer stuff
[03:01] <A|i3N8> so far I'm liking ubuntu.
[03:01] <bruenig> hmm
[03:01] <A|i3N8> faster and more stable, I'll take that over a memory hogging microsoft product any day.
[03:01] <KB1JWQ> !ot | A|i3N8
[03:01] <Jasonn> edbian: i messed up the sudoer file, and now i dont have root privelages to fix it, andy ideas?
[03:02] <edbian> Jasonn, Boot a live CD.  Use root on that live CD to edit the file.
[03:02] <rww> as I already said.
[03:02] <A|i3N8> lol. Guess I ticked the bot off. Thanks for the help everyone, this is rather large so I'ma do this restricted extras download later after I recharge the cell connection.
[03:02] <sacarlson> Jasonn: I guess you can boot into single user to get back to root access and then modify your /etc/sudoer file from that
[03:03] <ReinH> no luck... would anyone be so kind as to explain to me how I can change the process name of a process I'm starting using init.d? I'd like to be able to use start-stop-daemon --name
[03:03] <Jasonn> sacarlson: how do i get root access on LiveCD?
[03:03] <edbian> Jasonn, sudo, just like you do normally.  But the default user has no password
[03:04] <sacarlson> Jasonn: that's also an option you could use just enter a terminal in livecd sudo -s to become superuser
[03:04] <Jasonn> Thank you
[03:09] <sunboy2> Hi.  Can anyone suggest how to get vnc working?
[03:10] <alexanderbandukw> sunboy2: did you read the community documentation
[03:10] <sunboy2> I can log into a remote machine but I can't change anything (or I'm not seeing screen refreshes)
[03:10] <bazhang> !vnc
[03:10] <alexanderbandukw> sunboy2: thats a problem with compiz
[03:10] <alexanderbandukw> sunboy2: theres a fix posted in the forums somewhere
[03:10] <sunboy2> compiz? is that a client?
[03:11] <alexanderbandukw> sunboy2: no thats your window manager
[03:11] <sunboy2> I've been browsing the forums for the past couple of hours. No dice
[03:11] <sunboy2> I've tried both vinaigre and tightvnc
[03:11] <alexanderbandukw> one sec
[03:11] <sunboy2> I did read that vinaigre has a known issue about screen refreshing
[03:11] <sunboy2> And the person at the other end said he did see me opening windows
[03:12] <sunboy2> But when I right tightvnc, the cursor becomes a small dot and won't change anything
[03:12] <sunboy2> right-> run
[03:13] <[[thufir]]> when you install ant, is Tools.jar supposed to be available?  http://pastebin.com/wYp1d1tC

[03:15] <sunboy2> Alex: I did turn on nodamage from gconf-editor
[03:15] <sunboy2> was that for vinaigre?
[03:15] <sunboy2> didn't help
[03:15] <alexanderbandukw> i dont know i use x1vnc instead of vinagre
[03:16] <alexanderbandukw> because i couldnt get it working
[03:16] <alexanderbandukw> same issue
[03:16] <audi0> hell0
[03:16] <sunboy2> alex: whatever works
[03:16] <sunboy2> There's not a lot of discussion on alternative vnc clients for ubuntu
[03:16] <cyix> Is there a tool that allows me to change my Window Manager from this default thing to, say, blackbox/fluxbox, xfce, etc?
[03:17] <audi0> http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt    How do I found my HD audio model name?
[03:17] <audi0> tks
[03:17] <audi0> find*
[03:17] <edbian> cyix, gdm
[03:17] <cyix> ok, ty.
[03:17] <alexanderbandukw> umm the client shouldnt be your problem
[03:17] <alexanderbandukw> the server is i believe
[03:18] <edbian> cyix, It's the login screen.  It lets you choose which you wanna use when you log in
[03:18] <audi0> anyone?
[03:18] <cyix> ok.. looking.. I just don't recall seeing any choices there.
[03:18] <firsttimecaller> hello all, can anyone help out a semi noob with an ubuntu problem?
[03:18] <bazhang> audi0, from ubuntu?
[03:18] <audi0> yes bazhang
[03:18] <edbian> cyix, It's under the session menu I believe
[03:18] <bazhang> audi0, sudo lshw
[03:19] <sunboy2> Alex: where do I install x1vnc from?
[03:19] <cyix> kk, ty.
[03:19] <alexanderbandukw> sudo apt-get install x11vnc
[03:19] <cyix> firsttimecaller, just ask =)
[03:19] <sunboy2> Oh ok
[03:19] <BlackDragonTechy> x11vnc is also in the Ubuntu Software Centre
[03:19] <sunboy2> x11
[03:19] <BlackDragonTechy> You spelt it wrong
[03:19] <sunboy2> that makes a difference :)
[03:19] <BlackDragonTechy> The viewer and the server is there.
[03:20] <alexanderbandukw> yeah
[03:20] <firsttimecaller> yeah, i installed the ubuntu version of password safe from the sourceforge site. . . i was able to find it in applications > accessories. it ran fine, but now that i've rebooted, i can't find it. synamptic still shows it as installed. this is the 2nd time i've had this problem
[03:21] <audi0> bazhang: the "model name" here is the codec right http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt
[03:21] <ReinH> ok, let me ask this another way: if I have a file called, say ~/bin/carbon that contains https://gist.github.com/5522b16c58486c2af837, why would its process name not be "carbon" when I run it?

[03:25] <now0pen> i'm trying to install joy2key on ubuntu 10.04. i am following these instructions http://mcaf.ee/3ac61 but couldn't get past step two
[03:25] <firsttimecaller> do i need to be patient, or should i ask my question again?
[03:25] <now0pen> i get an error message http://mcaf.ee/43f8a
[03:25] <edbian> firsttimecaller, ask again
[03:25] <firsttimecaller>  i installed the ubuntu version of password safe from the sourceforge site. . . i was able to find it in applications > accessories. it ran fine, but now that i've rebooted, i can't find it. synamptic still shows it as installed. this is the 2nd time i've had this problem
[03:26] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, whats the package name, the ubuntu version is NOT on sourceforge
[03:26] <edbian> firsttimecaller, open a terminal.  What is the name of the package?
[03:26] <alexanderbandukw> i g2g gl
[03:26] <LadyNikon> !nvidia
[03:27] <LadyNikon> <3 ubottu
[03:27] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, whats the package name
[03:27] <anonboots> Im still having issues with my VPN setup. Anyone with experience in setting up a VPN in 10.10 able to help?
[03:28] <firsttimecaller> bashang: what's this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/Linux-BETA/0.3/passwordsafe-ubuntu-0.3.i686.deb/download
[03:28] <bazhang> !info mypasswordsafe | firsttimecaller
[03:28] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, use the repos version first and almost always
[03:29] <audi0> anonboots: with network-manager applet is easy
[03:29] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, 3rd party stuff will cause issues and are not supported here
[03:29] <anonboots> audi0: yes, it is. I have set all settings as per my provider, but I still cannot connect.
[03:29] <LorgonJortle> Ubuntu (System Monitor) is saying that I've 2.9GB RAM, but I've 4GB installed. Where could the missing gig be?
[03:29] <[TK]D-Fender> "may"
[03:29] <firsttimecaller> ok, so looks like i didn't install it right the first time, yes?
[03:29] <firsttimecaller> is that what you're saying?
[03:30] <audi0> anonboots: is it PPTP or OpenVPN?
[03:30] <edbian> LorgonJortle, Are you using 64-bit Ubuntu?
[03:30] <firsttimecaller> pls keep in mind i'm kind of a noob
[03:30] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go look inside the deb and see what command it drops in /bin or /usr/bin
[03:30] <anonboots> audi0: PPTP
[03:30] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, best to search in package manager or apt-cache search package or on irc /msg ubottu find package
[03:30] <anonboots> audi0: Let me double check just to be sure.
[03:30] <firsttimecaller> ok, so don't download and install stuff from the sourceforge site, yes?
[03:30] <audi0> anonboots: in advanced options select use point-to-point encryption
[03:30] <LorgonJortle> edbian, Nope. But I've 64 bit architecture.
[03:31] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, thats a very last resort, even after PPA
[03:31] <firsttimecaller> instead use the synaptic package manager?
[03:31] <bazhang> !ppa | firsttimecaller
[03:31] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, yep
[03:31] <edbian> LorgonJortle, You need 64 bit OS to take advantage of more than 3.2 Gb of RAM (not sure why you see 2.9) but either way you need 64 bit to get all 4 GB
[03:31] <firsttimecaller> you guys keep using all the acronyms and jargon words that i don't really follow
[03:31] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, or the terminal sudo apt-get install mypasswordsafe
[03:31] <anonboots> audi0: Im going to attempt to set up as OpenVPN. When I purchased, it was unclear, to be honest.
[03:31] <LorgonJortle> edbian, Ah.... Thanks for the clarification.
[03:32] <anonboots> audi0: if I have no luck, Ill ask again.
[03:32] <firsttimecaller> ok, so i should probably uninstall it now. how do i do that?
[03:32] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, synaptic package manager handles all that. best to use it first and almost always
[03:32] <audi0> anonboots: to use openvpn in nm applet you need install the plugin
[03:32] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: I jsut told you what to look for
[03:32] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go see if you can find the binary it should have installed
[03:32] <edbian> LorgonJortle, no problem.  It's because there are more than 2^32 addresses in 4Gb of ram, so you need 64 bit (2^64 possible addresses) to use them all.  There is some hack for the 32 bit kernel called pae or something.
[03:32] <edbian> !pae
[03:32] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, system administration synaptic package manager
[03:32] <audi0> anonboots: install the package network-manager-openvpn
[03:33] <audi0> anonboots: or you can install openvpn client package
[03:33] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, top panel under the system menu
[03:33] <feiyu> madwifi,ndiswrapper,which is better?
[03:33] <LorgonJortle> edbian, Yeah, I understand machine addressing. It just didn't occur to me when I saw it. Much appreciated.
[03:33] <edbian> LorgonJortle, no problem :)
[03:34] <steff12321> I asked earlier how to get sudo access when i messed up the sudoers file
[03:34] <edbian> steff12321, Did you figure out a solution?
[03:35] <steff12321> now i am in livecd, and when i say sudo gedit /etc/sudoers it just brings me to the temp sudo file
[03:35] <audi0> steff12321: sudo visudo
[03:35] <firsttimecaller> ok, so i want the mypassword safe found in synaptic, yes?
[03:35] <edbian> steff12321, It's accessing the file on the live CD.  You need to mount the partition on the harddrive first and edit the sudoers file on there.
[03:36] <steff12321> edbian: how do i do that?
[03:36] <edbian> firsttimecaller, Yes, always choose software that's in the repos first because it's safe and automatically updated
[03:36] <edbian> steff12321, CLI or GUI way?
[03:36] <firsttimecaller> right
[03:36] <firsttimecaller> and the mypassword safe is the program that's the ubuntu version of password safe, yes?
[03:36] <steff12321> edbian: preferably GUI
[03:37] <sacarlson> steff12321: you will need to mount the disk you normaly boot from and modify the /etc/sudoer file on that root disk
[03:37] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, likely yes
[03:37] <edbian> steff12321, Go to computer.  See click on the drives listed in there until you figure out which is your Ubuntu root partition.
[03:37] <edbian> steff12321, Then find the file in there.
[03:37] <steff12321> edbian: its a protected file, so i have to do it with a sudo command
[03:38] <edbian> steff12321, gksudo nautilus will give you a nautilus window as the root user.  You can use it to do all of this.
[03:38] <edbian> steff12321, Typically you do not want to use a root window but this is a case where it is useful for you
[03:38] <firsttimecaller> ok, i just installed mypassword safe from synaptic. any idea how i run it? i can't find the icon
[03:39] <edbian> firsttimecaller, mypassword in the terminal is a guess
[03:39] <steff12321> edbian: wait, so what do i do after the nautilus?
[03:39] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, what about alt f2 mypasswordsafe
[03:39] <edbian> firsttimecaller, time mypass and then jam on tab frantically and it'll auto-complete something useful
[03:39] <sacarlson> steff12321: after you have mounted it or know where it it mounted you can gksudo gedit  /path/to/your/etc/sudoer  and modify it as needed
[03:39] <audi0> bazhang: the bug is this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/607482
[03:39] <edbian> steff12321, what sacarlson said
[03:40] <audi0> headhphones disabled in alsamixer
[03:40] <steff12321> thank you
[03:40] <firsttimecaller> darn, and how do i get the terminal?
[03:40] <audi0> firsttimecaller: ctrl+alt+t
[03:41] <edbian> firsttimecaller, alt+f2  => gnome-terminal
[03:41] <audi0> or accessories terminal
[03:41] <audi0> or that
[03:41] <edbian> firsttimecaller, seriously not a hard thing to find
[03:42] <audi0> :>
[03:42] <firsttimecaller> hard is a relative thing and is almost always different for different people, but this discussion is probably out of the scope this channel
[03:42] <audi0> ye
[03:43] <bazhang> !manual | firsttimecaller this may help
[03:44] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, ubuntu wiki and help.ubuntu.com are useful as well
[03:44] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[03:44] <audi0> what is snd-hda-tools ?
[03:46] <LadyNikon> audi0: sounds like sound driver tools
[03:46] <firsttimecaller> ok, i found the terminal, but typing mypasswordsafe gets me a message that says that command isn't recognized
[03:46] <audi0> yes P
[03:46] <firsttimecaller> is there some kind of manual for passwordsafe that i can access?
[03:47] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, let me check
[03:48] <edbian> firsttimecaller, it might be my-password-safe  it might be mypassword-safe  it might be mps   you have to try more than one guess
[03:48] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go lok in the deb like I told you to
[03:48] <[TK]D-Fender> look*
[03:48] <firsttimecaller> k, i just found the mypasswordsafe manual, so i'll check that out
[03:49] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller
[03:49] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: If you've already ripped & reinstalled from USC then use Synaptic to look at the package and see what files it left you
[03:51] <Wiesshund> Anyone use grub2 v1.98-2xxxxxxxxxxxx ? im having somenon fatal issues with it
[03:51] <sougata_> Corleone, Any luck ?
[03:52] <psion> so, smbfs is being replaced by cifs, should I use likewise-open-server instead of samba?
[03:52] <firsttimecaller> ah drat, it doesn't appear this mypasswordsafe works at all. password safe is the preeminent password management program for windows and the mac, written by bruce scheier. i have all my passwords stored it in already, so i want to use it on ubuntu . . . is it *really* not possible to do this?
[03:53] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Show us the failure
[03:53] <firsttimecaller> just get a message saying the command isn't recognized
[03:53] <[TK]D-Fender> SHOW US
[03:53] <[TK]D-Fender> Should take 2 lines....
[03:54] <firsttimecaller> main@Dell-laptop:~$ mypassword-safe
[03:54] <firsttimecaller> mypassword-safe: command not found
[03:54] <firsttimecaller> '
[03:54] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: that isn't the command the instructions you were given had on it
[03:54] <firsttimecaller> same thing when i try mypassword-safe and other variations
[03:54] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, no space
[03:54] <[TK]D-Fender> [22:49]	<bazhang>	http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller
[03:54] <[TK]D-Fender> ^^^^
[03:55] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: You are guessing instead of looking
[03:55] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: read the doc he gave you
[03:55] <megana> Hi #ubuntu. Does anyone know how to remap media keys
[03:55] <psion> in gnome?
[03:55] <gaurav_help> how do i compress big exe file in small
[03:56] <psion> I'd assume just go into the keybindings configuration
[03:56] <megana> no, just plain X
[03:56] <firsttimecaller> main@Dell-laptop:~$ mypasswordsafe
[03:56] <firsttimecaller> mypasswordsafe: command not found
[03:56] <psion> megana: which WM?
[03:56] <megana> it's ubuntu server so I has no gnomes
[03:56] <psion> most WMs have a keybindings file
[03:56] <firsttimecaller> i don't see anything in the man page that says how to start itg
[03:56] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Now pay attention to the doc because it clearly has some CAPITALIZED LETTERS
[03:56] <megana> where is it psion?
[03:57] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: "Starting MyPasswordSafe is just like any other program, you just need to run it. If you copied the binary into your PATH, all you need to is type MyPasswordSafe. "
[03:57] <psion> megana: well it depends on which one.  for example fluxbox's is .fluxbox/keys
[03:57] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: "MyPasswordSafe"
[03:57] <megana> what's a WM again?
[03:57] <psion> window manger
[03:57] <megana> oh
[03:57] <megana> I have openbox
[03:57] <psion> ah, it's probably .openbox/keys then
[03:58] <psion> not positive though, openbox is a little different than fluxbox
[03:58] <sacarlson> firsttimecaller: in synaptic can you see if mypasswordsafe is installed?
[03:58] <psion> megana: look in .config/openbox/rc.xml
[03:58] <[TK]D-Fender> sacarlson: Lets wait and see after he runs the command the docs told him to
[03:58] <Wiesshund> Anyone use grub2 v1.98-2xxxxxxxxxxxx ? im having some non fatal issues with it
[03:59] <firsttimecaller> but man, now is someone supposed to know that?
[04:00] <psion> megana: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings
[04:01] <Code_Bleu> Can i remove Unity Shell from 11.04 and go back to Gnome Shell?  I really do not like Unity
[04:01] <psion> megana: I think there's an application to configure it, though I don't know the name of it
[04:01] <rww> Code_Bleu: ask in #ubuntu+1 for natty help
[04:01] <psion> Code_Bleu: from what I read, you can change your session to ubuntu classic or gnome classic
[04:01] <psion> something like that
[04:01] <Code_Bleu> psion: where and/or how?
[04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: the doc told you exactly what to type... you could have copy & pasted
[04:02] <megana> psion, I think it's xmodmap, but it seems to be a little over my head
[04:02] <sacarlson> Wiesshund: non fatal issues?  that's a new one
[04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Welcome to *NIX the lad where every character matters... or else
[04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> land*
[04:02] <psion> megana: nah don't bother with xmodmap, that's more difficult than it needs to be.  it kind of circumvents the built in keybindings that openbox has
[04:03] <psion> megana: it's good if you need to change the way mouse buttons behave or something, but anything else it's just a pain
[04:03] <megana> oh
[04:03] <firsttimecaller> D-Fender thanks for the welcome . . . but how the heck is someone supposed to know?
[04:03] <Wiesshund> sacarlson grub functions fine as far as booting, but the newest grub seems to pay no attention to the config files, such as 000_header, or 05_debain_theme etc
[04:03] <megana> well I used showkey to tell me the keycode for the key I want to map
[04:03] <megana> would you have done it like that psion?
[04:03] <firsttimecaller> D-Fender, where exactly did this man page tell me this? what are the words?
[04:04] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, by reading the links we suggested, which are numerous
[04:04] <psion> megana: I'd have used xev but they probably do the same exact thing
[04:04] <firsttimecaller> i don't see anything that says, to open this document, type MyPasswordSafe in the terminal
[04:05] <firsttimecaller> i followed the links, but just didn't see anything that seemed to tell me what i needed to know to open the program
[04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: [22:54]	<[TK]D-Fender>	[22:49] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller
[04:05] <psion> megana: then just modify the xml file with your own keybindings.  tbh I kind of like fluxbox's ~/.fluxbox/keys file more, it seems quicker to add little keybindings
[04:05] <bazhang> MyPasswordSafe   <----- firsttimecaller
[04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: and I even followed the link and pasted the very explicit instructions for you
[04:05] <firsttimecaller> d-fender, yes, i went to that link. where on that page does it show exactly what has to be typed in to open?
[04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> bazhang: Yeah, he got it now.
[04:06] <megana> psion, do you know how I can put xmodmap back to defaults. I think I screwed it up some how
[04:06] <firsttimecaller> i'm asking so the next time i go to a page like that i';ll know how to read it
[04:06] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, case matters
[04:06] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/ <- ah, I followed the link to the actual project page...
[04:06] <psion> megana: is it running right now? ps ax |grep xmodmap
[04:07] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: When you want answers... drill
[04:07] <megana> no
[04:07] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/#starting
[04:07] <firsttimecaller> i udnerstand case matters, but how is one to know the precise caps that are required?
[04:07] <megana> psion it's not running. I just notice a significant delay on the key I was messing with
[04:07] <psion> megana: not sure, I'm pretty sure changes don't persist through relogging though
[04:07] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, by following the links given many times here
[04:07] <megana> okay, I will just reboot the machine and hope for the best :)
[04:07] <psion> megana: http://mywereld247.blogspot.com/2011/02/key-bindings-in-openbox.html <-- that looks like a decent guide
[04:07] <firsttimecaller> i followed the link
[04:08] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: The doc shows it with case.  the man page does as well.    Linux is not built around the assumption of "GUI"
[04:11] <firsttimecaller> d-fender, i don't see anything anywhere on the page you linked to that says WHAT the command is
[04:12] <psion> megana: as an example, this is what my volume keys looks like in my ~/.fluxbox/keys file, yours will be different since it's xml, but it shows you the commands to manipulate volume and such
[04:12] <firsttimecaller> can you help me understand how to read those things?
[04:12] <psion> 123 :Exec amixer sset Master,0 1+
[04:12] <psion> 122 :Exec amixer sset Master,0 1-
[04:12] <psion> 121 :Exec amixer sset Master,0 toggle
[04:12] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: I told you I DIRLLED the HOMEPAGE link on that to the HOME PAGE
[04:12] <bazhang> http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/#starting   <----- firsttimecaller
[04:12] <[TK]D-Fender> DRILLED*
[04:12] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, see that link?
[04:12] <Ubuntu_JS> hi
[04:13] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: [22:49] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller <--- in here I followed the HOMEPAGE link and read the instructions of the product's main page.  In their words.
[04:13] <Ubuntu_JS> does anyone have any experience with setting up sftp chroot jail in in ubtunu?
[04:13] <sikilpaake> how can i "make" a makefile?
[04:13] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: does your sftp server support chrooting?
[04:13] <anonboots> lolflood
[04:13] <BlackDragonTechy> Is there any game for Ubuntu worth trying?
[04:13] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: yes
[04:13] <megana> psion, thanks a lot. It says my keysym is 0x0, I wonder if it really means that?
[04:13] <bazhang> !games > BlackDragonTechy
[04:14] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: should be easy in the config file then
[04:14] <psion> megana: guessing not :P I dunno though
[04:14] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: yesi had it working.. but then i changed the permissions for the folder which I was giving the user sftp access into
[04:14] <BlackDragonTechy> Thanks bazhang
[04:14] <bazhang> welcome BlackDragonTechy
[04:14] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: then it gave my errors when I tried to go back in
[04:15] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: so i was told to delete the null user.. and start over which I did but I am getting exit 1 error when i try to ftp back in
[04:15] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: well I'm guessing the sftp server is being run by a system user, like sftp.  depending on the case you could just consider chown -R sftp:sftP folder
[04:15] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: i am not sure if i should also delete the /dev/null folder and reinstall the user and recreate it
[04:15] <firsttimecaller> d-fender, yes, you have pointed repeatedly to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html == but you have yet to show me where on the page it says that to open the program you have to type MyPasswordSafe in the terminal
[04:15] <firsttimecaller> am i missing something?
[04:15] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: yeah you don't want to delete /dev/null :P
[04:16] <bazhang> http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/#starting   firsttimecaller
[04:16] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: it's kind of used by a lot of stuff

[04:16] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, its linked in the page we gave you. please read carefully.
[04:16] <psion> I appologize
[04:16] <firsttimecaller> but i'm still trying to figure out of there's some kind of short hand that you guys know about that i don't that tells you that

[04:17] <shmup> looking for a "FIXED" guide on this ubuntu login loop. happened after a reboot.

[04:17] <shmup> go to login. screen goes black for a second, back to login.
[04:17] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, lets move on please. you have been given that link half a dozen times at least now
[04:17] <firsttimecaller> d-fender, can you give me the quote from the page that's blatantly obvious, just so i can learn from all this

[04:18] <bazhang> [TK]D-Fender, he does not want to read, lets move on
[04:18] <psion> Ubuntu_JS: to be honest I haven't done it in years and at the time it was ftp not sftp of course using a different program.  I don't know the specifics of yours, sorry
[04:18] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: How many more times will it take?
[04:18] <firsttimecaller> ok, i'm going to take that as an admission that there's nothing on the other page, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html, that makes it clear to a noob how to open the program
[04:18] <bazhang> firsttimecaller, lets move on
[04:18] <Ubuntu_JS> psion: ok thanks
[04:18] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: LINK ON THAT PAGE
[04:19] <firsttimecaller> i totally understannd that the other page makes it clear but that first one isn't, unless there's some kind of short hand you guys aretn't telling me about
[04:19] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Yeah I know...
[04:20] <yaaang> help, i'm getting "No candidate version found for python-profiler" on "sudo apt-get install python-profiler". tried "sudo apt-cache update", no change. i've installed this package fine on other boxes before. any ideas?
[04:20] <bazhang> !topic
[04:20] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Not worth it
[04:20]  * [TK]D-Fender sighs
[04:20] <rww> [TK]D-Fender: When multiple people tell you to drop something, it's a pretty good sign that you should drop it.
[04:20] <rww> Anyway. Moving on.
[04:20] <Niglop> can I get logitech webcam drivers in ubuntu?
[04:21] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Actually they were telling him to move on, but the point applies all around anyway
[04:21] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: So np...
[04:21] <BlackDragonTechy> so if I plug in a game joypad, were is the options for it in ubuntu?
[04:21] <rww> [TK]D-Fender: /join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss this further.
[04:21] <yaaang> anybody else getting my issue?
[04:21] <megana> niglop, not normally no
[04:22] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: No need, its all good.... sorry for having elevated the tone with it all...
[04:22] <Niglop> megana» so i cant use logitech webcams with linux at all?
[04:22] <tantalus> yaang try using the software center to get python, the cmd didnt work with me either
[04:22] <psion> question: smbfs has been replaced by cifs, should I use a cifs server instead of samba?
[04:22] <megana> I have had varied success niglop
[04:22] <[TK]D-Fender> Niglop: Most you can.  I recall reading an artical a few months ago that one programmer managed to make a massive driver contribution that cover almost all of them
[04:23] <megana> niglop meaning that it will either work or it won't work
[04:23] <Jasonn> Can i reinstall sudo
[04:23] <Jasonn> JUST sudo?
[04:23] <Jasonn> i need help
[04:23] <Jasonn> i triedd to fix it with the livecd, but that bothered me
[04:23] <bazhang> Jasonn, reinstall sudo?
[04:24] <Jasonn> yes
[04:24] <Jasonn> JUST sudo
[04:24] <[TK]D-Fender> Jasonn: Whats wrong with the one you have?
[04:24]  * rww bites tongue
[04:24] <bazhang> Jasonn, you removed yourself?
[04:24] <sacarlson> Jasonn: did you manage to learn to open and edit the correct /etc/sudoer file?  if so do you know what is needed to be added to make it work for your user?
[04:25] <Jasonn> nope
[04:25] <bazhang> Jasonn, nope to whom
[04:25] <tantalus> ya got yurself into a pickel
[04:25] <Jasonn> to sacarlson
[04:25] <bazhang> Jasonn, then kindly prefix his nick in your responses
[04:25] <Jasonn> sorry
[04:25] <megana> so just type su
[04:26] <megana> and readd yourself?
[04:26] <Jasonn> su = same thing as sudo?
[04:26] <megana> no
[04:26] <sacarlson> Jasonn: so I assume the nope was for the first question.  did you manage to find a way to know what disk you normaly boot from and how to mount that partition?
[04:26] <megana> it just makes you login as root
[04:26] <Jasonn> megana: i messed up the sudoers file
[04:26] <megana> logging in as root is not the same as sudoing
[04:26] <tianshiz> hey guys, question on using crontab. I have the following line: 01 04 * * * /var/www/cron.php under crontab. But for some reason my server never runs the cron. I'm using apache server. Anything blatantly obvious about this problem?
[04:26] <psion> don't manually edit the /etc/sudoer file, use visudo
[04:26] <rww> megana: the root account is not enabled on Ubuntu by default, and enabling it is not supported in this channel. Therefore, su won't work here.
[04:26] <Jasonn> sacarlson: yeah, i got that, and i replaced the file with another one that i wrote up
[04:27] <Jasonn> sacarlson: it didnt work though
[04:27] <bazhang> psion, hes been told numerous times
[04:27] <sacarlson> Jasonn: ok pastebin that file so we might get an idea what error you may have made
[04:27] <megana> psion, this is awesome ;D
[04:27] <psion> bazhang: my apologies
[04:27] <megana> the boxee remote is perfect
[04:27] <bazhang> psion, just a fyi
[04:27] <psion> megana: which boxee remote do you use?
[04:27] <megana> the dlink one
[04:28] <Jasonn> sacarlson: It said that it had the wrong file ID or something
[04:28] <megana> it has the keyboard on the back that I will probably never use
[04:28] <bazhang> Jasonn, paste.ubuntu.com <---- exact error
[04:28] <psion> megana: nice, I use boxee too, in fact I'm watching it right now.  I really want a remote though, right now I just use my android phone
[04:28] <megana> and it smells like a new mother board
[04:28] <psion> megana: can you buy that seperately from the device?
[04:28] <megana> psion, I don't have a boxee just the remote :(
[04:28] <EmuAlert> This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but does anyone know how to adjust the bit settings in GIMP? I'm trying to save an 8-bit .png, but I can't find out how
[04:28] <sacarlson> Jasonn: at what point do you see this wrong file id failure?
[04:28] <Jasonn> bazhang: i closed the window by accident
[04:28] <bazhang> EmuAlert, tried #gimp ?
[04:29] <psion> megana: I don't have a boxee box, I just run it in linux on my HTPC
[04:29] <Jasonn> sacarlson: when i had already replaced the file, had to make a new one because it was read-only
[04:29] <EmuAlert> bazhang: I'll go check that out
[04:29] <sacarlson> Jasonn: we should also take a look at your fdisk -l  to verify you are modifing the correct file on the correct partition
[04:29] <megana> I programmed one :P
[04:29] <psion> megana: where can I find that remote seperate from the dlink boxee thing?
[04:30] <Jasonn> sacarlson: yeah, i had because i saved a file on this HDD (partition) and then
[04:30] <megana> I bought it at J&R
[04:30] <psion> megana: I salivated over pictures of that remote
[04:30] <megana> do you live in manhattan?
[04:30] <psion> nah, indiana
[04:30] <Jasonn> sacarlson: is su the same thing as sudo?
[04:30] <sacarlson> Jasonn: oh IC you must have the security set correctly on the sudoer file or it will not work
[04:30] <megana> I guess you will have to order it through the mail then
[04:30] <rileymat> Hello, is there anyway to disable the gnome-terminal automatically opening a new window on right click?
[04:30] <psion> Jasonn: no, sudo allows a program to be run as root without su'ing
[04:30] <Jasonn> Thank you
[04:30] <sacarlson> Jasonn: yes su is the same it uses the /etc/sudoer file also
[04:31] <Jasonn> Ok
[04:31] <megana> http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DSM-22-Boxee-Remote/dp/B00480OSVK
[04:31] <Jasonn> thank you sooooooooooo much
[04:31] <Jasonn> brb ill report with my problem :)
[04:31] <psion> megana: awesome, thanks
[04:32] <sacarlson> Jasonn: do you know how to set security  with chmod?  and chown?  you should modify the correct /etc/sudoer to the correct security level to operate
[04:32] <megana> psion, how do you put files into your htpc???
[04:33] <_genuser_> hey people
[04:33] <_genuser_> anybody around?
[04:33] <megana> no
[04:33] <psion> megana: it's networked
[04:34] <megana> so you just stick it in a file system?
[04:35] <psion> megana: yeah, I have a couple of external drives hooked up to a net top (eeebox b202) and I have boxee scan a few folders in them for media.  when I download stuff, I download them to those folders
[04:35] <brandon420> ill give someone a dollar to tell me how to mount a .bin/.cue files. mount them as a cd
[04:35] <psion> megana: well it's an application that can run in linux/windows/osx
[04:35] <psion> megana: boxee that is
[04:36] <megana> brandon420 mount it using iso-something as the file system type
[04:36] <sacarlson> brandon420: what format is your .bin file in?
[04:36] <niooins> hello, can someone tell me if ubuntu ppa's use the concept of secure apt like in debian or the packages are unsigned?
[04:36] <megana> and it has to use some kind of loop back option too
[04:36] <brandon420> megana, i tried that. didnt work to well.  sacarlson im not sure, its a game.
[04:36] <rww> niooins: The packages are signed. The GPG key is automatically added if you use add-apt-repository or (I think) Software Sources, and is listed on the PPA page on launchpad.
[04:37] <sacarlson> brandon420: are you sure it can be mounted?
[04:37] <megana> brandon420, so you told it to loop?
[04:37] <sougata_> yaaang, did you solve your problem
[04:37] <psion> brandon420: you can convert it to an iso with ccd2iso
[04:37] <brandon420> sacarlson, if i was on windows, i would be able to mount it with deamontools
[04:37] <brandon420> and i have the iso
[04:37] <yaaang> sougata_: no
[04:38] <brandon420> but when i mount the .iso, its mounted as a folder, not a cd
[04:38] <niooins> rww: thank you
[04:38] <Cryptic> should be able to play with vlc
[04:38] <megana> brandon, but you wouldn't because daemons tools is bad. :P
[04:39] <bazhang> Cryptic, thats video iso
[04:39] <sougata_> you have to add multivers to your soure.list
[04:39] <megana> brandon what do you mean mounted as a folder?
[04:39] <brandon420> megana, but ubuntu gives me the option to not care that its bad
[04:39] <brandon420> its mounted as a folder
[04:40] <brandon420>    /media/nfs
[04:40] <sougata_> yaaang, what are you running , I mean which ubuntu version
[04:40] <megana> everything is mounted as a folder o_O right??
[04:40] <sacarlson> brandon420: sounds like an iso file then,  what error do you get when you do losetup /dev/loop0 example.img ; mount /dev/loop0 /home/you/dir
[04:40] <psion> brandon420: http://maketecheasier.com/mount-iso-bin-and-cue-files-from-nautilus/2009/05/23
[04:40] <sacarlson> brandon420: those will require sudo
[04:41] <brandon420> imma try psions link
[04:41] <brandon420> give me about 5 mins
[04:41] <brandon420> shit man
[04:41] <brandon420> i just wanna play some old school nfs
[04:42] <bazhang> brandon420, no cursing
[04:43] <yaaang> sougata_: 10.04
[04:44] <bezao> how can i show where apt-get will install some packge?
[04:44] <sacarlson> bezao: you can look with synaptic in properties as where each file in the package is installed
[04:45] <bezao> sacarlson cant i say to apt-get instala apache in /bla/apache instead of the default path?
[04:45] <sacarlson> bezao: oh and this will only work after you have installed not before
[04:45] <Jasonn> OK
[04:45] <Jasonn> I think i might have done it
[04:46] <Jasonn> but i need to know how to save and esit via the "visudo" command
[04:46] <bezao> i did not understood sacarlson
[04:46] <Madpilot> bezao, for the most part, just let the system install stuff where it needs to go
[04:46] <Flannel> Jasonn: Is there a line of stuff on the bottom? (^X ^O, etc) or not?
[04:46] <sougata_> yaaang, apt-cache serach python-profiler shows nothing ?
[04:46] <Jasonn> Flannel: yes
[04:47] <bezao> Madpilot sure. but i have something special that i want to be on another path, can i?
[04:47] <bezao> cant* i
[04:47] <_genuser_> anybody having issues with youtube after latest system upgrade on netbuntu?
[04:47] <Flannel> Jasonn: Then ctrl-o to save, and ctrl-x to exit
[04:47] <_genuser_> 10.04.2
[04:47] <_jesse_> bezao: you could compile and install it yourself I suppose
[04:47] <mouse> Does anyone know any magicjack or other voip alternatives or tutorials on it?
[04:47] <Flannel> Jasonn: (that editor is nano)
[04:47] <GodfatherofEire> Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops?
[04:47] <_genuser_> mouse: for dialing in US?
[04:47] <Jasonn> -YES
[04:47] <mouse> _genuser_, Yessir.
[04:47]  * Jasonn hugs Flannel
[04:48] <Jasonn> THANK YOU
[04:48] <_genuser_> mouse: just use gmail. it's free from computer to any number in teh US for a year.
[04:48] <Jasonn> YOU HAVE SOLVED MY LIFE*s PROBLEMS !
[04:48] <Jasonn> :)
[04:48] <_genuser_> if you use google voice.
[04:48] <mouse> _genuser_, Cool.  How much after that first year?
[04:48] <_genuser_> like .02
[04:48] <mouse> 2 cents a call?
[04:49] <_genuser_> this is for this yr.
[04:49] <_genuser_> who cares about next year's charges.
[04:49] <_genuser_> it's not like google needs to charge you .02 to stay in business.
[04:50] <mouse> _genuser_, Do you need a landline phone?
[04:50] <sougata_> yaaang, you can directly install from here , but I guess there are dependencies http://mirror.soften.ktu.lt/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/p/python-profiler/
[04:50] <mouse> Or other hardware?
[04:50] <randomOfAmber> hello, if I wanted to secure a system that someone else had messed with (intentionally to make it not secure), would 'chmod -R 755 /usr/bin' be a good idea? should I do that elsewhere?
[04:51] <_genuser_> mouse: to call any number from within gmail, just installed the voice plugin from google. In your gmail, it should say on the side to call numbers install plugin.
[04:51] <GodfatherofEire> Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops? Like opening rhythmbox, gwibber, Firefox and nautilus all on separate desktops?
[04:51] <_genuser_> mouse: if it complains you need google voice number, just sign up. it's free. You need at least one number to sign up for google voice.
[04:51] <_genuser_> mouse: https://www.google.com/voice/rates
[04:51] <Madpilot> _genuser_, mouse - google voice is really offtopic for here - PM or #ubuntu-offtopic plz
[04:51] <morgan> stupid question - how do i change a default action for file?
[04:51] <sarah> hey
[04:52] <Jasonn> hey there sarah
[04:52] <Madpilot> morgan, you mean change the default app that opens a particular filetype?
[04:53] <yoaime> x
[04:53] <morgan> madpilot - yeh, somehow my places (most drives/locations) opens an application instead of the location
[04:54] <mouse> _genuser_, Thank you.
[04:54] <jxshxx> I've been reading about tethering methods.  They seem fairly complex for a beginner.  Can anyone suggest a set of simple instructions I may not have run across?
[04:54] <jiltdil> !root
[04:55] <xangua> morgan: create a folder>right clic>open with other>open folder
[04:55] <Jasonn> jiltdil: Please do not use commands to spam the channel, rather do it in a PM to ubottu
[04:56] <BaconAttack> hey everyone. is there anyone who could answer a quick crontab question for me?
[04:56] <Jasonn> !ask | beaconattack
[04:56] <rww> if you ask it, someone might :3
[04:56] <GodfatherofEire> Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops? Like opening rhythmbox, gwibber, Firefox and nautilus all on separate desktops? Running on a dummed down 10.10 server box (i.e. GUI etc)
[04:56] <Jasonn> !ask | BaconAttack
[04:56] <EricBlade> hi guys.  just installed ubuntu, first time i've used linux seriously in about 10 years.  my taskbar panel has a shit-ton of empty space on it, that i apparently can't use for anything except the trashcan icon.  how to solve?
[04:56] <Fluttershy> what's the "problem"?
[04:57] <Fluttershy> you can add a multitude of things to any panel
[04:57] <BlackDragonTechy> EricBlade : Right click it and "Add to panel"
[04:57] <BlackDragonTechy> There is tons of apps that go into the panel
[04:57] <mobile1> exit
[04:57] <EricBlade> yeah, but the problem is, it's empty space. i don't want empty space, i want the taskbar to take ita ll up
[04:57] <Jasonn> !wtf | EricBlade
[04:57] <Madpilot> morgan, very strange... never run into that issue before
[04:58] <BlackDragonTechy> I'm not really sure what you're asking. As your resolution increases there will be empty space in the bars.
[04:58] <EricBlade> ok, the taskbar should not be a fixed width
[04:59] <EricBlade> i added a second taskbar to the second monitor, and it's got a giant amount of empty space on the left and right of it, whereas on the main monitor it's only on the right
[04:59] <GodfatherofEire> Come on, anybody know how or if there's a way to do that? (see previous questions)
[04:59] <mark_> hi need help finding out what wireless network adapter i have
[04:59] <BaconAttack> I have a crontab question. As an introduction to using it, I was told to run 2 commands using cron. Do I have to put the commands into a script or can I just have it run the comman in terminal?
[04:59] <knoxy> hi all.. How the more recommended version of kernel to ubuntu as virtual machine (VMware ESXi) ? 2.6.x.x-server or 2.6.x.x-virtual ?
[04:59] <bazhang> mark_, usb or pci
[04:59] <Jasonn> !wifi | Mark_
[04:59] <Madpilot> morgan, one brute-force thing you can try is delete all of the gnome-panel prefs, which will reset the entire panel - and hopefully the screwed-up Places menu - to default configuration
[04:59] <edbian> mark_, lspci (pastebin it if it confuses you)
[05:00] <jiltdil> jasonn: spam the channel means m just want to understand about root sudo
[05:00] <jiltdil> jasonn:why u called like this?
[05:00] <Flannel> BaconAttack: command1 ; command2 if you want to run them both regardless (command2 after command1), command1 && command2 will run command2 if command1 completes successfully
[05:00] <Koong> Hello, can I ask for support here?
[05:00] <bazhang> Koong, please ask
[05:00] <Jasonn> jiltdil: sorry for that man, its just been a long day, my comp crashed today - twice ..
[05:01] <bazhang> jiltdil, /msg ubottu factoid
[05:01] <Madpilot> Koong, don't ask to ask, just ask!
[05:01] <shmup> ubuntu 10.10. gtx 460. stuck in login loop.
[05:01] <Koong> I'm using ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 on my hp netbook, i'm facing this problem of the panel and taskbar not working.
[05:01] <shmup> login. black screen. beats the drums. back to login screen.
[05:01] <Jasonn> jiltdil: plus, it was just a friendly-reminder
[05:02] <shmup> i can ctrl alt f1, login. stop the gdm service. startx, and i'm on.
[05:02] <jiltdil> jasonn: ok sorry
[05:02] <Koong> i had put the panel orientation at the bottom, and set it to auto hide.
[05:02] <Koong> now it's just stuck there.
[05:02] <shmup> there has got to be someone here that knows what i should do, or point me somewhere heh
[05:02] <BaconAttack> Flannel: maybe I phrased it wrong. What I meant was, if I want cron to execute, say, the "date" command in terminal.. would I need to put the date command into a script in order for cron to run it?
[05:02] <saebbi> when my laptop wakes up after suspend to RAM my touch pad doesn't work anymore. restarting X does not help. even reboot doesn't help. only if i shut it down, then restart it, the touchpad works again. what can i do against that?
[05:02] <Koong> IMy desktop environment is ubuntu desktop edition.
[05:02] <EricBlade> aha, had to delete both of the taskbars, and create two new ones, making sure that i clicked "Add To Panel" in the very first left hand pixel of each one
[05:03] <tmr0_> In 10.10 using fglrx video driver, kernel updated from 2.6.35-25 to -27, boots to terminal in -27, boots to gnome in -25, How to fix?  How to prevent at next kernel update?
[05:03] <Koong> the taskbars are not responding.
[05:03] <Koong> its a blank bar
[05:03] <Abhijit> hi
[05:04] <xangua> !panels | Koong
[05:04] <Flannel> BaconAttack: 'date' itself doesn't make much sense.  You want to incorporate it into another command I presume?
[05:04] <GodfatherofEire> Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops? Like opening rhythmbox, gwibber, Firefox and nautilus all on separate desktops? Running on a dummed down 10.10 server box (i.e. GUI etc)
[05:04] <Flannel> !devilspie | GodfatherofEire
[05:05] <Koong> ubottu how do i access the terminal? i cant click anything. and the bar at down there is flickering and its blank.
[05:05] <GodfatherofEire> Thanks Flannel
[05:05] <edbian> GodfatherofEire, I do not think there is a way to make them open on different desktops though :(
[05:05] <Abhijit> Koong, can you go to ctrl alt f1 ? you can come back from there by ctrl alt f7/8
[05:06] <saebbi> i would not mind disabling suspend to RAM completely as a workaround, if anyone knows how to do that
[05:06] <BaconAttack> Flannel: as an intro to cron, my professor just wants us to run some easy commands to get a basic understanding of it. the first command he wants us to run is "date" and it should be scheduled for every two minutes. I know the scheduling part. I'm just confused to how I actually get terminal commands to run via cron.
[05:06] <GodfatherofEire> edbian, well, ill look around
[05:07] <Koong> Abhijit i pressed ctrl alt f8 and now its a black screen with a blinking white line
[05:08] <Koong> what do i do next? sorry, im new to ubuntu.
[05:08] <Dustin> I'm having an installation issue.  Is anyone available to help?
[05:08] <Flannel> BaconAttack: Oh, you just throw them in the command portion of it.  I guess he expects you to check your mailspool to see its output?
[05:09] <cryptodira> hi folks, can anyone tell me if the failure of the backlit keyboard surviving beyond POST in 10.04 is resolved in 10.10  ... toshiba/amd64/10.04
[05:09] <Koong> Ok, i keyed in the !panels command to the terminal and now the panel is gone.
[05:09] <Koong> What should i do next?
[05:09] <Abhijit> Koong, i ddnt siad ctrl alt f8 that was for returning
[05:09] <_genuser_> so is anyone having issues with youtube after latest update?
[05:09] <_genuser_> on lucid netbuntu
[05:09] <Abhijit> Koong, first you need to press ctrl alt f1
[05:09] <Koong> i did that.
[05:09] <Starn> i have a CR-48 and i want to know how to increase the rate the curser moves. i tried mouse settings but that didn't work.
[05:09] <Koong> now im back to the desktop
[05:10] <Koong> the panel is gone now
[05:10] <BaconAttack> Flannel: He was suppose to give us a tutorial on how to use it but then decided last minute that we should figure it out. Here is part of the instructions. "In order to document the success of your task, take a screenshot of the terminal that shows the output of your cron job over at least 2 executions (4 minutes)."
[05:10] <DavidReza> Hi, I'm looking for a software that shows me the audio frequency graph of a video, so I can make loops in both audio and video. Any suggestions??
[05:10] <Abhijit> Koong, then now agian go to ctrl alt f1 from there login to your account and do that code for pan resetting. the code given by ubottu above
[05:10] <Dustin> I'm trying to set up Ubuntu on my second hard drive in my laptop (which I'm surrently using) but can't get past the login info screen before installation begins.  The Forward button is grayed out and unclickable.  Has anyone seen this problem before?  I've tried four times.
[05:10] <Flannel> !cron | BaconAttack
[05:10] <Flannel> BaconAttack: Take a look at those documents
[05:11] <BaconAttack> Flannel: second link is dead
[05:11] <Koong> gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel  < this?
[05:12] <Abhijit> Koong, yes
[05:12] <Koong> Ok
[05:12] <Koong> done that.
[05:12] <Abhijit> now come back by ctlr alt f7/8
[05:12] <Koong> ok
[05:12] <Koong> now im at the desktop
[05:13] <Koong> the panel is gone now.
[05:13] <Koong> So, how do i recover it back to normal?
[05:13] <Abhijit> O_o
[05:13] <Abhijit> Koong, log off and log in back?
[05:13] <Dustin> I'm trying to set up Ubuntu on my second hard drive in my laptop (which I'm surrently using) but can't get past the login info screen before installation begins.
