[16:09] <abuayyoub> h00k, it's a terminal based nzb/usenet program like hellanzb
[16:09] <jakuplutzen> hellwolf06: ok nice.
[16:09] <kahen> jrib: do you have bash-completion installed and enabled?
[16:09] <hellwolf06> steffan, i am fed up with russian community help: swears
[16:09] <steffan> I see
[16:09] <kahen> you have to manually edit your bash configuration to enable it. just installing it isn't enough
[16:10] <jrib> kahen: how do I enable it?
[16:10] <hellwolf06> jakuplutzen, anyway,thx
[16:10] <hellwolf06> HEY GUY, If i customise my liveusb and whight it on livecd, it will work?
[16:11] <steffan> Is it possible to login to an account if it is locked using Ubuntu 10.04LTS?
[16:11] <kahen> jrib: for all users or just yourself?
[16:11] <jrib> steffan: try?
[16:11] <jrib> kahen: just myself
[16:11] <jrib> kahen: or better yet, whatever you did
[16:11] <steffan> jrib: Is it _suppost_ to work?
[16:11] <corax> anyone ? plz
[16:11] <jrib> steffan: I don't know
[16:11] <jakuplutzen> hellwolf06: no prob
[16:12] <Njh> does anyone know how to test to see if a file exists in a script
[16:12] <jrib> Njh: #bash knows
[16:12] <Rajko> hello
[16:12] <irv> can anyone help me figure out a startup issue? thanks. my kern.log from a successful boot is pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/446135/ the part where I wrote "this is where it usually stops" is where it usually stops while booting. once in a while it boots successfully which is how i got access to the log file. it does the same when trying to boot either kernel -21 or -22
[16:12] <Rajko> i want mysqld and apache2 to start on boot
[16:12] <Rajko> but they don't want to
[16:12] <Njh> jrib: thanks
[16:12] <acicula> steffan, you cant login or?
[16:12] <Rajko> even though they have rc.d entries
[16:12] <jrib> Rajko: install them, they do that by default
[16:12] <hellwolf06> * #ubuntu-ru :Cannot send to channel
[16:12] <Rajko> they arent.
[16:12] <jrib> Rajko: how did you install them?
[16:12] <hellwolf06> How can i fix it?
[16:12] <jrib> !who | Rajko
[16:12] <Rajko> aptitude
[16:12] <hellwolf06> 6
[16:12] <hellwolf06> 6
[16:12] <kahen> jrib: http://pastebin.com/UKxaQvWL -- add that to $HOME/.bashrc and then open up a new xterm/gnome-terminal tab/whatever
[16:12] <FloodBot2> hellwolf06: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:12] <hellwolf06> 66
[16:13] <jrib> Rajko: what happens when you try to start them afterwards (and how do you try)?
[16:13] <hellwolf06> 66
[16:13] <Rajko> they work fine after i start or restart them manually
[16:13] <regeya> oy vey.
[16:13] <Pici> hellwolf06: Please stop that.
[16:13] <acicula> hellwolf06, stop flooding the channel, probably why you got muted on -ru ?
[16:13] <Rajko> jrib, using /etc/init.d/mysqld restart and /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[16:13] <nicofs> Can I change the names of the basic ubuntu menu entries ("Applications","Places","System")?
[16:13] <h00k> hellwolf06: you might want to take a look at the Guidelines and review them
[16:13] <jrib> Rajko: and what's the result?
[16:13] <hellwolf06> No,i mean Bay bay
[16:14] <Rajko> jrib, they start fine
[16:14] <h00k> ubottu: tell hellwolf06 about guidelines
[16:14] <regeya> ∞
[16:14] <regeya> cripes, sorry
[16:14] <jrib> Rajko: how are you determining they don't start?
[16:14] <darkham> hi this http://pastebin.com/36FyJ0xA is the list of packages installed by apt-get build-dep mplayer on ubuntu lucid, but i've Error: X11 support required for GUI compilation.
[16:14] <darkham> what i need
[16:14] <Rajko> jrib, they aren't running after the system reboots
[16:14] <jrib> Rajko: how are you determining they aren't running?
[16:14] <Rajko> ps aux
[16:14] <Rajko> also it's not responding to mysql or http ports obviously
[16:15] <jrib> kahen: still works
[16:15] <hellwolf06> hook, 66-By by Good buy
[16:15] <corax> Rajko: what is the "binding" ip-adress for both services ?
[16:15] <martian> I just did a release upgrade on my server installation, and my 'primary' drive, which has always been "sda" is now "sdc". What would cause this, and how can I revert it?
[16:15] <jrib> kahen: wait, sorry.  I forgot to use bash :)  You're correct, it doesn't complete
[16:15] <Rajko> they bind to a specific ip
[16:15] <steffan> acicula: Root was enabled when I got this server (for some reason, is it enabled on the server version by default?). I created a group %admins with sudoers access, but added myself to %admin by mistake and then disabled root. So I don't have root access at the moment
[16:16] <jrib> Rajko: did you check the logs?  Presumably they attempt to start but fail for some reason, correct?
[16:16] <Rajko> well, mysql binds to <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:16] <Rajko> as it is by default
[16:17] <jrib> Rajko: please address people you are responding to, otherwise it get's confusing
[16:17] <Slart> martian: hmm.. no other changes? do you know what /dev/sda is now? perhaps a cd drive or something took the first two places?
[16:17] <jrib> gets...
[16:17] <corax> Rajko: your issue might be related to a "delay" in the service "networking" ...which means that the mysqld and apache2d does not yet have an adress to bind to, during boot.
[16:17] <kahen> jrib: well... time to dig through the source then... man /etc/bash_completion is ugly :(
[16:17] <acicula> steffan, err are you using ubuntu? you have to boot into single user mode or use a livecd to get back to root
[16:17] <Rajko> this might be the case
[16:17] <Rajko> because apache2 started fine on boot before i changed it's bind ip to be explicit
[16:18] <Slart> !who | Rajko
[16:18] <Rajko> but mysql should always work fine as it's binding to <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:18] <Rajko> Slart, you are generating half the channel's noise by doing the !who thing
[16:19] <Slart> Rajko: not really.. but even if I did it doesn't make your situation better
[16:19] <corax> Rajko: the local ip (<IP_ADDRESS>) should work ... (but not if interfaces or the network service is started _after_ the mysqld and apached services)
[16:20] <Rajko> corax, can i set up dependencies or something
[16:21] <corax> Rajko: I would start looking at the network issue first (as I have no problem, with either service after a regular install) ... first question...is one of the binding adresses on a wireless interface ?
[16:22] <Twiztid> wos: ur the best! my dad reports all is up and running! any guess as to why it failed?
[16:23] <nicofs> Can I change the names of the basic ubuntu menu entries ("Applications","Places","System")?
[16:24] <Rajko> corax, this is my /etc/network/interfaces http://codepad.org/SvQmHVoE
[16:24] <Twiztid> wols: ur the best! my dad reports all is up and running! any guess as to why it failed to mount the filesystme?
[16:24] <corax> Rajko: (before messin' around with "dependencies" or "boot sequence orders", its better to find the course, as the issue might become more difficult to track, after adding more sources of errors)
[16:25] <Slart> nicofs: I don't think there is an option through the regular settings.. but there might be something you can hack somewhere.. don't they change name if you change the language settings of the system?
[16:25] <wols> Twiztid: maybe he cut power before it was shut down. basically a file system corruption the journal couldn't deal with
[16:25] <Rajko> corax, and this is my ifconfig http://codepad.org/xN6I1rad
[16:25] <nicofs> Slart, that's what I think...
[16:25] <TSCDan> I'm attempting to create an Ubuntu network sniffer box for both troubleshooting and traffic monitoring purposes (bandwidth, etc). What's the best way to configure the NIC to ensure that it does not transmit anything - just listens? Ubuntu Server 10.04
[16:25] <martian> Slart: The only other change is that two external drives I have attached, are commented out in my fstab (so I could do some maint. after restart)
[16:26] <Rajko> corax, also, all my other services (like sshd, courier, postfix) also bind to the same ip as apache2 and mysql
[16:26] <Twiztid> wols: gotcha, k ill tell him to try to do full shutdowns... thx again!!!
[16:26] <martian> Slart: but, the drives are still attached and running. One of the external drives which WAS sdc is now sda
[16:26] <Slart> martian: hmm.. external usb drives? perhaps those are sda and sdb now?
[16:26] <Rajko> corax, and yet they dont fail to start
[16:26] <edbian> Rajko, Pardon me for eve's dropping but your config files are very interesting.  Did you great those alias names yourself?  What is venet0  ??
[16:26] <martian> Slart: eSATA, but yeah
[16:26] <Rajko> edbian, this is a VPS, they are autogenerated by the manager
[16:26] <Slart> nicofs: let me google around a bit.. see if I can find something
[16:27] <corax> Rajko: I took a look at your "interfaces"-file ... which has <IP_ADDRESS> set to a non-loop device ... I'm not sure that valid.
[16:27] <Slart> martian: you could perhaps change the order of the drives in your bios settings.. but it's entirely possible that you're stuck with what you've got now.. any specific reason you need to use the sdX names?
[16:27] <edbian> Rajko, How is a virtual private server different than a Virtual Machine in general?  I've never seen any computer with venet autogenerated?  What is a venet?
[16:27] <Rajko> virtual ethernet
[16:28] <corax> Rajko: (sshd run on all interfaces, the rest mostly bind to domain-names)
[16:28] <martian> Slart: No reason; just fear that... somehow it would mess things up I guess :)
[16:28] <edbian> Rajko, Thanks
[16:28] <Keithamus> Anyone here speak french?
[16:28] <edbian> Rajko, I get it now.
[16:28] <Pici> !fr | Keithamus
[16:28] <Keithamus> Lol Pici, I'm not french - let me elaborate: I just need a little hand translating a phrase into french, just wondered if anyone spoke it
[16:28] <Slart> martian: well.. as long as you use uuids in your fstab it should be ok.. I think grub will handle it gracefully as well.. but that's about the only software I would worry about
[16:29] <Rajko> corax, all of mine listen only on specific interfaces, this is netstat -l http://codepad.org/me2G2WLo , they either listen on localhost or one of my global ips
[16:29] <Pici> Keithamus: Try #ubuntu-offtopic, or ##french then
[16:29] <Keithamus> yeah thanks Pici
[16:29] <martian> Slart: would you happen to know what I may wish to look up to learn how to mount the external drives by UUID as well? it seems like a cleaner way of doing the job.
[16:30] <oscar408> my users for a few boxes are using public keys for ssh auth and I am playing with nx
[16:30] <corax> Rajko: yes...thought so :-)
[16:30] <oscar408> anyone have a good reference for getting their existing keys mapped to the nxclient app?
[16:30] <Slart> martian: if you look at your fstab file it should use uuids already.. it's basically just replacing /dev/sda with UUID="lots and lots of numbers"
[16:31] <oscar408> the only keys are for the server nx account
[16:31] <corax> Rajko: (I would start by removing the <IP_ADDRESS> from the "interfaces"-file ...and test from there)
[16:31] <Slart> martian: here's what my fstab looks like http://pastebin.com/aF5kzr1g
[16:31] <corax> does anyone know how to get IMAP4 to work in Evolution ... so messages with attachments or embedded images can be retrieved ?
[16:31] <oscar408> and the doc / google hits discuss the properties for changing ssh pub keys for the nx server
[16:31] <martian> Slart: Yeah, the main drive (the raid array) is already mounted via uuid, but I though it may be good to also mount the eSATA drives by uuid so as to avoid any future confusion like this
[16:32] <Galerien> errr... guys, I have a file with a number on the beginning of each line, from 2 to 960... anyone knows a way to delete them?
[16:32] <guest2> my firefox quits frequently with segmentation error.....i have tried re installation....
[16:32] <Slart> martian: just try adding them to your fstab.. then they will use those settings automatically.. I think esata supports mounting by uuid
[16:32] <erUSUL> Galerien: and after that number? a space allways ?
[16:32] <martian> Slart: great. Thanks a bunch!
[16:32] <darkham> hi this http://pastebin.com/36FyJ0xA is the list of packages installed by apt-get build-dep mplayer on ubuntu lucid, but i've Error: X11 support required for GUI compilation.

[16:33] <MikeH> How can I reset a packages config files back to default?
[16:33] <Galerien> erUSUL: an "enter" letter I guess
[16:33] <Rajko> corax, can't do this, autogenerated
[16:33] <Galerien> erUSUL: and then a space
[16:34] <Rajko> corax, it worked fine on this on debian lenny
[16:34] <andrek> hi
[16:34] <erUSUL> Galerien: enter ? so each number is in its own line?

[16:34] <dominicdinada> how to make xampp autostart with the system ?
[16:34] <Rajko> it's valid.
[16:34] <Galerien> erUSUL: see my private message
[16:34] <edbian> MikeH, What package?  It depends.  Settings that pertain just to you or system-wide (and therefore user-wide) settings?
[16:35] <Slart> nicofs: this is the only good stuff I've found so far.. seems it might not be so easy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=840738&page=2

[16:35] <guest2> hey can someone help me with my firefox
[16:35] <corax> Rajko: It just sounds invalid to me...to separate interfaces sharing the same IP-adress on the same system ...but hey...I'm open to new stuff ;-)
[16:35] <andrek> i'm trying to install combat arms. i've installed ies4linux but now i don't know how to export wineprefix to the locatione of ies4linux/ie6. can you help me?

[16:36] <ZenMasta> I tried to isntall some packages but got an error about not locating the files or generate a list f packages http://pastie.org/995051
[16:37] <edbian> MikeH, Hello?
[16:37] <Galerien> ZenMasta: sudo apt-get install -f
[16:37] <Galerien> (don't know but may work)
[16:37] <MikeH> edbian, Sorry, removing the package and reinstalling seemed to solve my problem
[16:37] <edbian> MikeH, That's fine.   If they are files in a directory, what are the file lengths? Sizes?
[16:39] <AaronMT> Hello where can I download 7.04?
[16:40] <edbian> cpuTorture, Not from the CD.  But you can install 9.10 on your system using that CD and then upgrade that install.
[16:40] <Galerien> greezmunkey: that's line numbers yes.... I don't know how to remove them and I don't have the source anymore... just that file
[16:40] <edbian> cpuTorture, But I recommend you just burn the 10.04 CD because when you upgrade the 9.10 install it downloads the whole damn 10.04 anyway.
[16:40] <edbian> AaronMT, That's from 2007.  Don't you want the latest version?  10.04 ?
[16:40] <cpuTorture> edbian, thanks :) I already have 9.10 on this machine, but don't want to kill it off, I could do a network upgrade, but then the next time I want to install I still have to download a gig of data
[16:41] <AaronMT> No I need 7.04
[16:41] <greezmunkey> Galerien: that paste, was that a directory listing?
[16:41] <AaronMT> Regression testing
[16:41] <Pici> AaronMT: 7.04 is no longer supported.
[16:41] <darkham> hi this http://pastebin.com/36FyJ0xA is the list of packages installed by apt-get build-dep mplayer on ubuntu lucid, but i've Error: X11 support required for GUI compilation.
[16:41] <Galerien> greezmunkey: no, some php code
[16:41] <darkham> what i need?
[16:41] <AaronMT> I'm aware of that, I'm doing regression testing
[16:41] <erUSUL> Galerien: grep -v '^[0-9]' file > file.new
[16:41] <jakuplutzen> AaronMT: it's probably easiest to find a torrent.
[16:41] <AaronMT> Wait just found this http://gonrad.com/201006/qupfpapa.jpg
[16:42] <AaronMT> woops http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/
[16:42] <edbian> AaronMT, It's not supported any longer so the package manager won't work.  http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/
[16:42] <Galerien> erUSUL: great, I didn't know how to do it but I think I understand the command !
[16:42] <erUSUL> Galerien: if some other usefull line begins with a number thwen it will be deleted too
[16:42] <edbian> AaronMT, I just googled it...
[16:42] <greezmunkey> Galerien: if you don't have the source, then you are probably going to have to manually remove the numbers unless you are really good with sed and awk scripting..
[16:42] <MikeH> edbian, actually, seems I was wrong - I don't think it did work
[16:42] <MikeH> packages is snmpd for the record
[16:42] <Galerien> erUSUL: Yes i got that thanks, but I don't think that any php line can begin with a number...
[16:43] <mbeierl> How do I stop the Indicator Applet from stealing the Meta-M shortcut?  I want to assign it to compiz, but indicator keeps taking over the event!
[16:43] <erUSUL> Galerien: grep -E '^[0-9]+$' file > file.new
[16:43] <MikeH> either that or snmpd under 10.4 doesn't do anything :/
[16:43] <Adys> My laptop doesn't boot since i installed new kernel, neither using the old kernel not recovery mode. It hangs after /scripts/init-bottom... done. I just ran fsck from a live cd, still no luck. Any idea?
[16:43] <erUSUL> Galerien: that will work better
[16:43] <edbian> MikeH, To remove the config files for it (that are located in /etc) you need to purge the package.  sudo apt-get purge snmpd      (not sure of the package name).  Then install it, sudo apt-get install <whateverItIS>
[16:43] <dominicdinada> how to make xampp autostart with the system ?

[16:43] <corax> does anyone know how to get IMAP4 to work in Evolution ... so messages with attachments or embedded images can be retrieved ?
[16:44] <Galerien> erUSUL: ok, thanks :D
[16:44] <cpuTorture> edbian, can I pull all the packages from the 10.04 install cd into the package managers cache dir and it won't download them all again?
[16:44] <bhawna> hi, m a noob, my /etc/fstab has this entry but I can not create a folder in the mounted drive -> /dev/sda1                                  /media/sda1  vfat  defaults,users,exec         0  0
[16:44] <edbian> dominicdinada, Do you want it to start after you log in or when the system boots?
[16:44] <edbian> cpuTorture, IDK, never tried it.
[16:45] <edbian> bhawna, Do you have a /media/sda1 folder?
[16:45] <SpeelExenium> Allo gents.
[16:45] <edbian> dominicdinada, (after you log in is much easier)
[16:45] <bhawna> yes
[16:45] <greezmunkey> corax: like to connect to exchange web?
[16:45] <dominicdinada> edbain when the system boots... I know there is how way to make a link to start it when im logged in
[16:45] <Galerien> erUSUL: it's has exactly the same result, thanks :D
[16:45] <corax> greezmunkey: no...just regular IMAP  (not MAPI :-)  )
[16:46] <Hotsp0t> Hey guys! :) - Is this the place where i can fire off a question or two?
[16:46] <bhawna> edbian: I have winxp/ubuntu on same system, I want to store my data on /media/sda1 which is in fact a c drive of my windows partition
[16:46] <edbian> dominicdinada, First step, create a bash script that runs the program for you.  All it is is a text file that has #!/bin/sh   on the first lane (#!/bin/bash to be bash specific)  and your various commands on the lines that follow.  Create that file and mark it executable and run it to make sure it works
[16:46] <erUSUL> Hotsp0t: sure
[16:46] <edbian> bhawna, Ok, in linux do you have a folder in /media called sda1 ??  in other words a /media/sda1 ?
[16:47] <dominicdinada> edbian: ok I will google examples or someone who has already done this
[16:47] <edbian> s/lane/line
[16:47] <SpeelExenium> So here I am trying to format a file system on one of my raid drives to ext4, but, unfortunately, every time I use sudo mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/isw_dacddfbefe_Speels1 ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/isw_dacddfbefe_Speels1 mke2fs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) Could not stat /dev/isw_dacddfbefe_Speels1 --- No such file or directory
[16:47] <edbian> dominicdinada, Sure, you can also pastebin the script once you have it written and I can double check.  Once you have the script I'll teach you how to make it run at start-up.  What app is this btw ??
[16:47] <SpeelExenium> I get that error. :(
[16:47] <bhawna> edbian: yes, as I told you, /media/sda1 folder exists and my cdrive is mounted here (in sda1 folder)
[16:47] <Hotsp0t> erUSUL: cool :D
[16:48] <dominicdinada> edbain apachefriends lampp package
[16:48] <edbian> bhawna, But you can't edit anything on the drive, is that right?
[16:48] <SpeelExenium> Halp? ;_;
[16:48] <edbian> dominicdinada, What?
[16:48] <iratik> Where can I find an intro to administering a 10.04 server .. I have been running an 8.04 server for 3 years .. and 6.04 before that ..    This new version seems to have some new tricks .. many of which i'm not familiar with .. Is there a wiki page about everything i need to be aware of .. e.g. what is upstart .. why does start <service> not work.. but "service <service> start" work? and so on..
[16:48] <Ubuntor> Alright. Online and with the new UNR 10.04 installed.
[16:49] <Ubuntor> Thanks guys for your tips.
[16:49] <wildbat> any tips for gnome application automation like mouse mouse/click similation like autoit in window?
[16:49] <dominicdinada> edbian: Apachefriends Xampp/lampp package its apache.mysql,php
[16:49] <bhawna> edbian: yes, even though I think I have set right permission, /etc/fstab shows this -> /dev/sda1                                  /media/sda1  vfat  defaults,users,exec         0  0
[16:49] <SpeelExenium> :3?
[16:49] <edbian> dominicdinada, Is that what you're trying to run at start-up?  Apache already starts up automatically
[16:49] <dominicdinada> edbian: in order to start the package i shell out and sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
[16:50] <blue_anna> how can I add a background to the text under the desktop icons? like on the live CD, or just normally when one is selected?
[16:50] <bhawna> dominicdinada: you can sudo apt-get install apache php5* mysql* to setup a lamp server
[16:50] <dominicdinada> edbian: not this packeage you need to manually start it each time..
[16:50] <edbian> bhawna, Here is the trick.  Unmount the drive (umount /dev/sda1 should do it) and check the file permissions on the folder /media/sda1.  Make sure you can read/write to that folder.  Do you know how to read linux file permissions?
[16:50] <dominicdinada> bhawna: i just got rid of that crappy package for Dev purposes
[16:50] <bhawna> edbian: let me check it
[16:50] <edbian> dominicdinada, Ok, whatever.  Write the script and I'll check it.
[16:50] <Hotsp0t> I'm trying to install the Netbook Edition on my friend's Asus eee Pc 900. The problem is that it doesn't boot from usb, only SD, which I don't have. I have a MacBook running OS X 10.6.3 and a ethernet cable.
[16:50] <edbian> bhawna, It has to be unmounted.
[16:51] <bhawna> I unmounted it and here is the ls output -> drwxr-xr-x  9 bhawna bhawna 16384 1970-01-01 05:30 sda1
[16:51]  * SpeelExenium sighs, "This channel is too busy. :/"
[16:51] <bhawna> no sorry edbian sda1 is owned by root
[16:52] <edbian> bhawna, It says in ls that it's owned by you?
[16:52] <blue_anna> I want an effect like this http://img96.imageshack.us/i/unabordaalacarpeta.jpg/
[16:52] <SpeelExenium> I'll catch you folks later.
[16:52] <SpeelExenium> ;3
[16:52] <MikeH> Anyone here monitor their local machines network interfaces with SNMP?
[16:52] <bhawna> edbian: no, the folder is owned by root :( I checked after unmouting
[16:53] <edbian> bhawna, Show me the permissions after unmounting then
[16:53] <bhawna> edbian: here is the ls output -> drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 2009-12-23 20:22 sda1
[16:53] <Hotsp0t> I can see that the eee PC can boot RPL and PXE... Can i setup a PXE/RPL server on leopard, mount the Ubuntu image, and boot it on the eee Pc over network?
[16:54] <edbian> bhawna, Make it so you own it! :)  sudo chown bhawna:root sda1
[16:54] <Hotsp0t> i see that this is turning into a OS X question now :S
[16:54] <edbian> bhawna, :P
[16:54] <edbian> Hotsp0t, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[16:54] <edbian> Hotsp0t, There are A LOT of ways to install Ubuntu
[16:54] <dominicdinada> edbian: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-linux.html#fsl read topic #3
[16:55] <Hotsp0t> edbian: great, i'll look into it :D
[16:55] <bhawna> well, I have another laptop where the filesystem is ntfs but all folders under /media is owned by root and non root users can read and write into /media folders
[16:55] <bhawna> edbian: ^
[16:56] <edbian> bhawna, windows xp NTFS does not support file permissions so when linux mounts it it just cascades the root folder's permissions throughout.  If you own the folder you mount it in you will own the entire tree underneath.  Make sense?
[16:56] <abstrakt> is "-alternate" the only version of ubuntustudio that exists? or is there a non "-alternate" ISO?
[16:56] <bhawna> edbian: it does, I use ntfs-3g on other machine
[16:56] <edbian> bhawna, If it's vista / windows 7, those do support permissions and you have to be the right user.  However that's easy enough, just become root.
[16:57] <edbian> bhawna, It does what?  What is it?
[16:57] <macanud0> #oracle
[16:58] <bhawna> edbian: I understand what you are saying, here is the scenario, I have two laptops, both dual boot, xp+ubuntu, one is ntfs and another is vfat, the problem is that the vfat one is not allowing me(no root user) to write/exec in mounted drives
[16:59] <dominicdinada> edbian: which one should i use rc.5 ?
[16:59] <dominicdinada> rc5.d
[16:59] <edbian> bhawna, Low level it actually goes by user id number.  Perhaps vfat has a "root" account (I'm not entirely sure) and perhaps the UID is different than the stock linux "0"  All you really have to do is match the UID number with some user to write to that drive.  Make sense?
[16:59] <NeedGSHelp> someone here who can help me with ghostscript and converting pdf files to tiff?
[17:00] <edbian> dominicdinada, rc2.d is the standard.  Check your runlevel with "sudo runlevel"
[17:00] <ZenMasta> I tried to isntall some packages but got an error about not locating the files or generate a list f packages http://pastie.org/995051
[17:00] <edbian> dominicdinada, 0 is halt, 6 is reboot, 1 is single user mode, 2 - 5 are multi-user but most system use 2 and 3 - 5 go unused
[17:00] <dominicdinada> edbian: yes it is 2 did you check that link i sent ?
[17:00] <edbian> dominicdinada, (debian and ubuntu both use 2)
[17:00] <erUSUL> !runlevels
[17:00] <edbian> dominicdinada, I saw it.
[17:01] <dominicdinada> edbian: guess i dont get to grab out my old bash books :D
[17:01] <blue_anna> how can I add a background to the text under the desktop icons? like on the live CD, or just normally when one is selected?
[17:01] <edbian> dominicdinada, Your script is not very involved :(
[17:02] <ManDay> My WIFI Stick is not supported by Ubuntu and is very slow (awfully slow) at transmitting data - why?
[17:02] <bhawna> edbian: thanks, I just chmoded the /media/* to 777, I will reboot and check
[17:02] <acicula> ManDay, not supported as in you are using the ndiswrapper driver?
[17:02] <dominicdinada> edbian: but it is saying either /etc/init.d/rc2.d or  /etc/rc2.d   gah which one should i use with lucid
[17:02] <ManDay> acicula, how do I find out? (sry, forgot)
[17:03] <edbian> ManDay, Because the people that made your USB stick only care about providing a stick that works with windows.  Some nicer people said, hey I like this stick but I want to use it in linux so they started to write a driver for it but it isn't the best because they didn't invent the stick.
[17:03] <acicula> ManDay, you said its not supported?
[17:03] <edbian> bhawna, ha ha,  a little overkill but that should do it.
[17:03] <acicula> but it still works?
[17:03] <acicula> ManDay, if you dont know then ndiswrapper is not loaded i think
[17:03] <dominicdinada> ManDay:  what brand/model is it
[17:03] <acicula> since you'd have to explicitly configure ubuntu to load it
[17:03] <rig0rmortis> Hello, I am having some issues using apt behind an ISP proxy. In short, when downloading updates (or new packages) using apt, the downloads sometimes go very slowly, and often timeout. Many of the downloads that do come down fail with a "Hash sum mismatch" error. Does anyone have any ideas about how I might work around this?
[17:03] <dominicdinada> !wifi | manday
[17:03] <ManDay> edbian, the people "that made my USB stick" made a piece of hardware - the only thing you can "blame" them for if you want is not having coded a driver for linux and provided it to canonical
[17:03] <edbian> dominicdinada, No idea.  It's the new upstart, makes things confusing.  Both of them? :P You could also use: "sudo update-rc.d"
[17:04] <edbian> ManDay, That's exactly what I blame them for.   I wanted to set this machine up to use mysql and a few other things on it, but wasn't sure if I'd run into the same issue installing ubuntu server.   How do I reinstall dpkg?
[17:05] <ManDay> awfully slow with everything
[17:05] <acicula> distance to access point?
[17:06] <ManDay> 5 meters
[17:06] <edbian> ManDay, again, the stick wasn't designed for linux.  Complaining it is slow is like taking your ferrari off-road and asking why you can't reach 200 mph
[17:06] <bhawna> edbian: I am back, it seems that I need to do something else
[17:06] <cpuTorture> edbian, I found that you can upgrade from the alternative cd without network access :) thanks.
[17:06] <den__> exit
[17:06] <edbian> bhawna, Be more specific
[17:06] <acicula> you could check the speed the dongle trains in at by typing ifconfig in a console
[17:06] <edbian> cpuTorture, Excellent!  :D
[17:06] <ManDay> edbian, is linux to a WIFI stick what offroad is to a sportscar?
[17:06] <ManDay> ...
[17:06] <acicula> err that should be iwconfig, Ma
[17:06] <holmser> I remember reading somewhere that webmin was depreciated for ubuntu.  What is the recommended replacement?
[17:06] <acicula> err that should be iwconfig, ManDay
[17:06] <edbian> ManDay, Apparently with yours
[17:06] <bhawna> the chmod didnt help
[17:06] <lele_> ?
[17:06] <ManDay> edbian, pretty crap comparison if you ask me
[17:07] <lele_> 好阿
[17:07] <dominicdinada> ManDay: Actually the same drivers i have for one of my other wifi card it appears to use
[17:07] <ManDay> the wifi stick CAN do well with the right driver
[17:07] <lele_> 合理咯
[17:07] <ManDay> ubuntu just doesnt have the right driver
[17:07] <lele_> hello
[17:07] <edbian> bhawna, What are the permissions of the file now
[17:07] <lele_> ？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？/
[17:07] <wols> ManDay: which is the right driver?
[17:07] <edbian> ManDay, Good point! :)  Maybe we should team up and write it?
[17:07] <lele_> ？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？/
[17:07] <lele_> ？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？

[17:07] <dianmanyu> 大家好，hello every one
[17:07] <LedHed> anyone know of a dock that can be locked to users cant modify it?
[17:07] <acicula> ManDay, im not convinved it is the driver just yet, though its possible
[17:08] <wise_crypt> !anyone
[17:08] <ManDay> acicula, what info do you need to tell? i paste iwconfig , one s
[17:08] <wols> LedHed: make the configfile owned by root and worl readable only
[17:08] <acicula> how are you testing if you download an ubuntu iso what speed does firefox report
[17:08] <ManDay> http://codepad.org/53eJlbHo
[17:08] <LedHed> wols, I'll try that
[17:08] <wols> ManDay: what hardware do you have? what chip?
[17:08] <Maletor> How can I enable composite with two monitors. I'm using Macbook and Apple Cinema Display.
[17:09] <ManDay> acicula, believe me its not the server nor the inet connection
[17:09] <sunny> is it possible to select what packages one wants to install via the alternate installer?
[17:09] <ManDay> wols, RT2571WF
[17:09] <wols> ManDay: pci id?
[17:09] <infid> how do you restart samba in ubuntu?
[17:09] <acicula> ManDay, how did you eliminate those
[17:09] <holmser> does ebox ring any bells?
[17:09] <wols> infid: service samba restart ?
[17:09] <acicula> ManDay, the paste looks fine, it trains in at 54Mbit
[17:09] <ManDay> acicula, other computer do just fine.
[17:09] <edbian> infid, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[17:10] <edbian> wols, oh, I think you're right.  service samba restart
[17:10] <ManDay> wols, i cant find it in lspci
[17:10] <wols> ManDay: usb device?
[17:10] <ManDay> yes wols
[17:10] <geneller> hi guys, i'm newbie here, i'm trying to setup my home theater to my pc, but i can make it works, somebody help me please
[17:10] <oscar408> is anyone using nx where the users are authenticating with preexisting keys ~/.ssh/authorized_keys?
[17:10] <wols> ManDay: but as acicula said: looks fine
[17:11] <ManDay> well, i really dont care what it looks like :P
[17:11] <dominicdinada> geneller: Medibuntu ?
[17:11] <oscar408> I have a farm of machines where users are using ssh w/ their own keys
[17:11] <ManDay> what can i do?
[17:11] <oscar408> and want to add nx… but have some troubles mapping user keys on the nxclient
[17:11] <oscar408> works fine via standard ssh
[17:11] <Hotsp0t> Hey guys Ubuntor pm'ed me with a possible solution, after playing around with it, he was right and it worked! - But now he rebooted to be shure of his solution and I have to leave for band practice.. If you hear him complain about a noob leaving while he tried to help, plese let him it know it worked and send him my thanks! :D
[17:12] <infid> edbian: there is no /etc/init.d/samba
[17:12] <geneller> i just installed 10.04 version
[17:12] <oscar408> auth.log doesn't have anything as the nx client doesn't seem to support it
[17:12] <edbian> infid, service samba start
[17:12] <infid> wols: what about service smbd restart?
[17:12] <oscar408> I can see nx in auth.log so it get's that far
[17:12] <wols> infid: could be
[17:12] <ociredeF> hello
[17:12] <dominicdinada> indid that restarts it lol
[17:12] <dominicdinada> in lucid
[17:12] <ociredeF> I am trying to do some text editing
[17:12] <infid> i have lucid
[17:12] <oscar408> I tried asking on #nx w/o any response
[17:13] <dominicdinada> ociredeF: nano ? gedit ?
[17:13] <oscar408> read the docs / FAQ
[17:13] <acicula> ManDay, then im out of ideas, maybe you can tweak some settings on the driver itself regarding the link layer or force a lower connection speed then 54Mbit
[17:13] <Tricia> Ubuntu keeps wanting to upgrade my kernel to .32, when I upgraded to .34 from the kernel PPA.
[17:13] <ociredeF> I need to find a string in some html files and replace it for a couple of strings
[17:13] <Tricia> any way to make it stop trying to upgrade that?
[17:13] <ociredeF> dominicdinada: it wasn't that easy
[17:13] <ManDay> acicula, maybe you can help me you said something about a layerwrapper previously
[17:13] <wols> ManDay: error messages in dmesg?
[17:13] <wols> !hold
[17:13] <ociredeF>  need to find a string in some html files and replace it for a couple of strings   ... is there a way around it?
[17:13] <ManDay> wols some related to the device but mainly on boot and setting state on hibernation
[17:13] <acicula> ManDay, ndiswrapper allows to use _some_ windows drivers in the linux kernel
[17:13] <ManDay> nothing else i d see
[17:13] <acicula> ManDay, its best avoided at all cost really
[17:13] <wols> Tricia: you can set stuff on "hold"
[17:13] <Tricia> what is gnu.io :<
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> ociredeF:  ive seen 'sed' and 'perl' example code that does that the other day when googling some sed docs.
[17:14] <Tricia> er, sorry.
[17:14] <Tricia> wols: how?
[17:14] <ociredeF> something like grep -i <?php include("http://misitioweb.html"); ?> | ed whatever
[17:14] <ManDay> acicula, how do i find out which driver it currently uses?
[17:14] <geneller> dominicdinada: lucid is a ubuntu version?
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> ociredeF:  use sed/awk  and or perl for such tasks.
[17:14] <dominicdinada> ociredeF: "i want to edit some text" for text files you can use nano or gedit. if they are conf or system files. use sudo nano "pathtofile/filename"
[17:14] <acicula> ManDay, the kernel only has one driver for RT2571WF, but wouldnt know how its called
[17:14] <ociredeF> Dr_Willis I am not much of a coder
[17:15] <ManDay> acicula, i didnt expect you to know. how do i find out on my own?
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> ociredeF:  guess you learn/look for examples. or use a text editor.
[17:15] <dominicdinada> geneller: lucid is 10.04 the newest version and in Lucid to restart samba it is smbd restart
[17:15] <infid> ociredeF: i'd be careful with lines like that especially because php has echo statements and you could end up echo something and redirecting it with >
[17:15] <wols> Tricia: http://www.cyberciti.biz/ref/apt-dpkg-ref.html
[17:15] <Tricia> wols: thanks
[17:15] <wols> ociredeF: sed and awk
[17:15] <ociredeF> infid: ok so I should  \ every >
[17:15] <acicula> ManDay, lsmod | grep fw, does that give you a module?
[17:15] <Ubuntor> Where did Hotspot go? I hope it worked for him!
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> ociredeF:  i definatly recall seeing specific examples of sed/awk/perl that worked with html files as i was googling around last week
[17:16] <ManDay> thanks ill try acicula
[17:16] <Ubuntor> my solution even.
[17:16] <wols> Ubuntor: he says thanks. it did work. scroll up
[17:16] <ManDay> acicula, no, but ill keep looking through lsmod
[17:16] <Ubuntor> wols: i rebooted so can't scroll up.
[17:16] <Ubuntor> Thanks
[17:16] <ManDay> acicula, rt2x00usb              11260  2 rt73usb,rt2500usb
[17:16] <ManDay> rt2x00lib              32133  3 rt73usb,rt2500usb,rt2x00usb
[17:16] <acicula> ManDay, rt2500usb or rt73usb ?
[17:17] <ManDay> rt2500usb              19643  0
[17:17] <acicula> yeah those
[17:17] <ManDay> hm, so if the kernel has mods loaded for that chipset why does it not work? are the drivers not good en ough?
[17:17] <acicula> looks like that particular wireless chip is supported and has been for awhile by the kernel
[17:18] <geneller> dominicdinada: what can i do with samba ?
[17:18] <simontol> Hi is there any way I could recover/undelete files on a ext4 filesystem?
[17:18] <irv> when trying to boot 10.04 NBR on an acer aspire-one, start-ups freeze at the following point: http://paste.ubuntu.com/446135/ this happens approximately 9 in 10 boots with the 10th being successful. if anyone has any insight into why it may be halting at this point most of the time, or further diagnostics I can try (I have already ran a hardware test/memtest and SMART check) and it does this regardless of which kernel I am booting -21 or -22
[17:19] <wols> geneller: file sharing with windows
[17:19] <acicula> ManDay, dunno really, the chip's had a module in the kernel for years, and ralink typically works well, so no clue as to why you are experiencing problems with your particular stick
[17:19] <geneller> hi wols, mmm. what i'm trying is to setup my home theater
[17:20] <wols> irv: with different kernel, I meant different kernel versios. 2.6.30 or 2.6.34 etc
[17:20] <wols> acicula: ralink works anything but :)
[17:20] <irv> wols: oops, any idea on how to install an older version? or is there a specific older version you would recommend me trying?
[17:21] <acicula> wols, really? must've had a decent chip then, i thought they actively developed wireless drivers?
[17:21] <acicula> oh well :/
[17:21] <geneller> my mother board reuses plug connectors, microphone can be used to as a sound output
[17:21] <wols> irv: try a newer one frommaverick. also older ones of course. the<'re downloadable from packages.ubuntu.com. install with dpkg
[17:21] <dominicdinada> geneller: ummm share folders with windows users lol
[17:22] <kaioken> I am using huwaei c2900i phone .I am not able to access internet using it .Is this some bug or do I need some driver for it?
[17:22] <wols> irv: this is totally unsupported but it doesn't hurt to try. you can uninstall the kernels afterward
[17:22] <acicula> kaioken, plugging it in via usb or bluetooth?
[17:22] <cdubya> if video on ubuntu desktop 10.04 flaked out, should I expect the same thing from an install of ubuntu server? I know I read some issues with Intel video and I wasn't sure if this was directly related, but if installing server would resolve the issue, I can do that.
[17:22] <kaioken> acicula:via usb
[17:23] <wols> cdubya: won' help
[17:23] <acicula> and doesnt show in nm-applet?
[17:23] <iceroot> cdubya: the server is the same as the desktop withut gui and with a pae kernel
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> cdubya:  the 'server' uses text mode.  so if you dont need a desktop gui..
[17:23] <dominicdinada> geneller: are you trying to share with windows users ?
[17:24] <kaioken> acicula:http://pastebin.com/8DYfgmbW
[17:24] <cdubya> I don't have to have a gui, I just don't want the system wacking out because for whatever reason the video isn't playing nice.....
[17:24] <geneller> dominicdinada:  i'm trying to setup my home theater that sound 6 satellites
[17:24] <kaioken> this is the result of messages
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> cdubya:  with the server and text/console only - theres shouldent be an issue with video. since its just using the consoles.
[17:24] <dominicdinada> geneller: i have not done this but wouldnt you want to use Medibuntu ? it is geared towards what you are trying to do
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> cdubya:  or just dont start up X on the desktop install you got
[17:25] <acicula> kaioken, seems it at least detects there's a modem connected
[17:25] <geneller> dominicdinada: my mother board reuses plug connectors, microphone can be used to as a sound output too,
[17:25] <geneller> thats my problem
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> geneller:  i was thinkiign that 'jackd' helped configure  those multi-function plugs
[17:26] <cdubya> Dr_Willis, that's what I thought, but wasn't sure. If I can install server that will be ok as long as the system's integrity isn't messed up by video issues. I'd like to be able to use ubuntu, but I'm hung in the way of availability of machines and this one is one I can use, so if it won't work I'll have to look elsewhere.
[17:26] <wise_crypt> kaioken: install wvdial first
[17:26] <dominicdinada> geneller: if it does such things in the MB bios dont you have options to configure it
[17:26] <wise_crypt> kaioken: sudo apt-get wvdial
[17:26] <Machtin> any way to get mplayerplug-in into the repos?
[17:26] <kaioken> wise_crypt:It is installed
[17:26] <jfalvarez> hello, it's there some guide to create deb packages for java applications?
[17:27] <geneller> in windows i did it installing drivers, so i got config options
[17:27] <wise_crypt> kaioken: sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
[17:27] <pardavila_> hi, i've just read /var/log/daemon.log and I found that I cannot connect to the wifi since I have the next problem: "wpa_supplicant Association request to the driver failed", does anybody know how to solve this?
[17:27] <dominicdinada> geneller: and there are no linux drivers on your mb cd ?
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> cdubya:  you could run a server without a monitor if you wanted. just ssh in
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> cdubya:  and its some specific intel video chipsets that have some issues. theres proberly a huge forum thread or 100 on the topic.
[17:28] <dbarnett> Hey, After an update I'm having video problems (freezing when I connect external monitor) Downgrading the kernel didn't help, I'm trying to find documentation on where to find older versions of the intel-video drivers. Anyone have a link or advice?
[17:28] <dbarnett> cdubya: Looks like I may be here for the same thing

[17:29] <geneller> dominicdinada: no, but ubuntu already recognized mb
[17:29] <cdubya> Dr_Willis, yeah, I thought of that...had it setup before and then found out the hard way trying to use tasksel remove and it hammered up the system pretty good.....thus the reinstall.
[17:29] <Akiraa> Isn't there a menu from where I can manually select from a list of printers? i.e. "add new printer" like in Windows
[17:30] <wise_crypt> kaioken: and then gksudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf change to your phone setting
[17:30] <apo_lap> hi. what does: "Use this GPS device for Geolocation services" do?
[17:30] <cdubya> dbarnett, good luck.....I'm going to try ubuntu server and see how it goes....
[17:30] <Slart> Akiraa: system, administration, printers?
[17:30] <apo_lap> does not work with gpsd without configuring rfcomm.  (gpsbleutooth mouse)
[17:30] <Slart> Akiraa: sorry.. system, administration, printING
[17:30] <dbarnett> cdubya: I had good luck with 9.10 until I updated
[17:31] <Maletor> How can I enable composite with my dual monitor - Apple Cinema display - I'm using a MacBook with 10.4 and latest Nvidia Drivers. Everything works save for composite (and compiz).
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> Maletor:  ive had compiz work for me on my 2 monitor setup using nvidia and twinview.
[17:31] <Maletor> Also, I tried Section "Extensions" -> Options Composite Enable EndSection
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> Maletor:  you did install the nvidia drivers?
[17:31] <Art1> can someone help me,i have problems trying to conect to paralel port in vmware in Ubuntu host,i am trying to conect to my printer with paralel port but i got this mesage  http://paste.ubuntu.com/446195/ .can someone help me
[17:32] <kaioken> wise_crypt:http://pastebin.com/FWE7cHYH
[17:32] <Maletor> Dr_Willis: yes - i'm not using twinview - i need it to extend my desktop
[17:32] <rig0rmortis> I am having some issues using apt behind an ISP proxy. In short, when downloading updates (or new packages) using apt, the downloads sometimes go very slowly, and often timeout. Many of the downloads that do come down fail with a "Hash sum mismatch" error. Does anyone have any ideas about how I might work around this?
[17:32] <kaioken> wise_crypt:whate next?
[17:32] <frxstrem> is it possible to upgrade the iPhone OS on an iPhone-like device inside Ubuntu, or will I need Windows/OS X for that?
[17:32] <wise_crypt> kaioken: Phone = [your phone dial in number]
[17:32] <ManDay> thanks alot acicula
[17:33] <ManDay> maybe ill just get a new stick :)
[17:33] <ManDay> (one which is officially supported)
[17:33] <Slart> frxstrem: don't you need itunes to do that? you might get away with using a vm
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> Maletor:  i use twinview to have a single very wide desktop......  thats 'extended' by my definition
[17:33] <Izinucs> How do I determine what video driver is currently being used on my nvidia card?
[17:33] <Akiraa> Slart: http://img266.imageshack.us/f/36894682.jpg/  -- I was looking at the "Printing" menu, but there is no option to "add a new printer" from a pre-existing list
[17:33] <frxstrem> Slart: no, I can't (I've tried it; didn't work)
[17:33] <cdubya> dbarnett, yeah, I should have left well enough alone....:-)
[17:33] <wise_crypt> kaioken: and then gksudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf change to your phone setting
[17:33] <Maletor> Dr_Willis: So then what is this Xinerama option I have checked?
[17:33] <apo_lap> hi. what does: "Use this GPS device for Geolocation services" do?
[17:33] <apo_lap> does not work with gpsd without configuring rfcomm.  (gpsbleutooth mouse)
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Maletor:  twinview is ximerama+more features
[17:34] <frxstrem> also, if I would have to install Windows, is there a way to avoid having to repair GRUB after installing it?
[17:34] <Maletor> Dr_Willis: hot damn
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Maletor:  i never need to use xinerams. i alsayw use twinview
[17:34] <Maletor> Dr_Willis: here's to hoping this doesn't break everything as i'm at work
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Maletor:  enable twinview. save the xorg.conf, restart x, (or reboot)
[17:34] <Maletor> Dr_Willis: thanks
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> Maletor:  worse case.. remove the xorg.conf it made.. or backup the one ya got now.
[17:35] <Slart> Akiraa: hmm.. is the printer connected to the computer?
[17:35] <Art1> can someone help me,i have problems trying to conect to paralel port in vmware in Ubuntu host,i am trying to conect to my printer with paralel port but i got this mesage  http://paste.ubuntu.com/446195/ .can someone help me how to fix this
[17:35] <geneller> Dr_willis: what is jackd ?
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> !info jackd
[17:35] <blue_anna> how can I add a background to the text under the desktop icons? like on the live CD, or just normally when one is selected? http://img96.imageshack.us/i/unabordaalacarpeta.jpg/
[17:35] <wise_crypt> kaioken: you have to change Phone = [your phone dialin number] username = [the user name given by your phone provider] password = [the password] then save it after than run sudo wvdial &
[17:35] <kaioken> wise_crypt:I edited wvdial.conf with the required information.Now How to connect?
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> geneller:  its some fancy tool to controll audio stuff. Ive never needed it. but others use it
[17:36] <Maletor> Dr_Willis: Show I enable make primary display?
[17:36] <Akiraa> Slart: I was wondering if there is a preexisting list so I can go buy a printer which I will know 100% that is supported. Need something around 16ppm laser
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> Maletor:  i make the display i want GDM to show up on the primary
[17:36] <wise_crypt> kaioken: run sudo wvdial &
[17:36] <Slart> Akiraa: ohh.. now why didn't you ask that from the start =)  check linuxprinting.org, they have long lists with manufacturers and what works and what doesn't
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> Akiraa:  i got a nice little brother laser printer for $100 over the weekend sales. :)
[17:36] <geneller> mm, u know how can i use it ?
[17:36] <UnoDos> hello
[17:37] <Akiraa> Is it completely hopeless to buy GDI printers for linux printing?
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Akiraa:  not sure how fast it is however. :)
[17:37] <UnoDos> exit
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Akiraa:  it pays to research your printers.
[17:37] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: I've had great luck with my brother MFC 7440n
[17:37] <sohail> howcome ubuntu.com recommends 32-bit
[17:37] <Slart> Akiraa: and just a bit of a warning.. just because there exists a driver for it doesn't mean it works 100%
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Akiraa:  and set a budget. :)
[17:37] <sohail> for desktop
[17:37] <Slart> sohail: no idea.. I don't understand it either
[17:38] <Slart> sohail: I've been using 64bit for a couple of years.. no problems
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> sohail:  because the page that says that is a bit out of date, and  overly paranoid.
[17:38] <irv> does anyone know how i can install the 2.6.34 kernel from maverick using dpkg in ubuntu 10.04
[17:38] <Akiraa> Slart: I guess I could bring along an ubuntu netbook for on-site compatibility tests
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> sohail:  and many 'new' users dont even understand what 32 vs 64bit is.
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> sohail:  so they say - when in doubt- go 32bit
[17:38] <Slart> Dr_Willis: out of date? it's on the main download page on ubuntu.com ..
[17:38] <Izinucs> How do I determine what video driver is currently being used on my nvidia card?
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> Slart:  yes.. and theres bug reports about that badly worded statement on the page.
[17:39] <sohail> Dr_Willis: it's probably a when in doubt thing
[17:39] <kaioken> wise_crypt:http://pastebin.com/pFx4fUd2        this is the result of sudo wvdial
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> Slart:  no one has bothered to change it yet.  and i see it asked about in here about 2+ times a week
[17:39] <Maletor> you are a god Dr_Willis
[17:39] <Slart> Dr_Willis: ah.. I see..thanks
[17:39] <Maletor> ^^ lol
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> I cent even think of any current 'big' issues with 64bit linux these days.
[17:39] <Maletor> adobe
[17:40] <Slart> Izinucs: /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. at the beginning
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> ages ago, java was an issue.. and some drivers.. but not much these days
[17:40] <wise_crypt> kaioken: you have to change Phone = [your phone dialin number] username = [the user name given by your phone provider] password = [the password] then save it after than run sudo wvdial &
[17:40] <wols> Izinucs: Xorg.0.log
[17:40] <Slart> adobe is a problem on any architecture .. regardless of operating system.. *shakes fist*
[17:40] <wols> Izinucs: and glxinfo
[17:40] <wise_crypt> kaioken: check your phone provider for thet

[17:41] <kaioken> wise_crypt:Thanx ..Now connected :).My mistake(Didnot remove comments) ;)
[17:41] <Izinucs> Slart: wols thanks.. I'll look
[17:41] <wise_crypt> kaioken: no problem
[17:42] <jrib> simontol: use blkid to retrieve your uuids
[17:42] <Slart> simontol: isn't blkid an alternative?
[17:42] <FullFlannelJacke> Can anyone tell me what it means when you try and start an application and you get an error saying "/home/username/%F cannot be found"?
[17:42] <jrib> FullFlannelJacke: what are you trying to start?
[17:42] <FullFlannelJacke> open office word
[17:42] <simontol> Slart, jrib : thanks didn't know about blkid
[17:43] <smik> How can I monitor my Uploads and Downloads volume. ?
[17:43] <Slart> simontol: you're welcome
[17:43] <smik> I want to know how much I uploaded and downloaded each day
[17:43] <iceroot> smik: vnstat
[17:43] <jrib> FullFlannelJacke: how are you trying to start it?
[17:44] <smik> iceroot: vnstat good. installign
[17:44] <omry|work> just installed 10.04 (first Ubuntu installation). I can't find the sun java jdk package. is it in some extra repository or something I need to add to the sources.list?
[17:44] <FullFlannelJacke> jrib: From a launcher on AWN.. And, yeah, thats the problem.  When i try to start it from regular menu it works.
[17:44] <Slart> !java | omry|work
[17:45] <jrib> FullFlannelJacke: how did you create the launcher?
[17:45] <jeward_> I'd like to make a live USB install of 10.04, but be able to enable the b43 network device driver.  Does anyone know how to replace the kernel on a Live install?
[17:45] <omry|work> ubuntu`, thanks. how do I enable the partners repo?
[17:46] <irv> !partners
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  you can make a persistant save file on teh usb install and just 'install' the drivers
[17:46] <FullFlannelJacke> jrib: just copied the .desktop file to a directory and pointed my AWN stack to there.
[17:46] <Slart> !partner
[17:46] <irv> !partner
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  i just did that for a nvidia+b43/sta based laptop
[17:46] <irv> yeah that one
[17:46] <jrib> FullFlannelJacke: pastebin said file
[17:46] <abuayyoub> h00k, it's a terminal based nzb/usenet program like hellanzb
[17:46] <abuayyoub> Anyone here fimular with a program called NZBGET?
[17:46] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: I've made the persistent install, but when I install the b43 drivers, it fails because the kernel is on a read only filesystem?
[17:47] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: You must know a secret I've missed. :)
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  somthing is weird then. I just now installed the nvidia drivers and other drivers on this setip.  How did you make the install?
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  hasbe you installed any other packages? did you apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade?
[17:47] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: Lucid Startup Disk Creator.
[17:48] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: Is that the way you made yours?
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. let me try again. I just made this flash drive. got nvidia isntalled.. lets try the sta driver now..
[17:48] <smik> iceroot: I installed it, says `not enough data available'. Does it require some time to setup?
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  yep. just made one about 10 min ago
[17:48] <acicula> ManDay, supporting supported hardware is always good :)
[17:48] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: I'll remake mine too.
[17:48] <og01> any way i can restore all of /etc/apache2 to its defaults?
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  you recall the package name for the b43? or have you tried the STA driver?
[17:49] <iceroot> smik: vnstat --help
[17:49] <ManDay> acicula, lol, isnt that a logical fallacy?
[17:49] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: I don't remember exactly, but I can tell you in a few minutes.  Will you be here a while?
[17:49] <ManDay> acicula, what about supporting yet supported hardware :P
[17:49] <iceroot> smik: dont have it installed so yo have to look for  yourself, first you need to create a database using eth0 (or what you want to check) then you can always run vnstat to see the traffic by day, week, month or live
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  just a few more min. its bed time
[17:50] <magn3ts> Is it possible to have an encrypted home partition in software RAID5?
[17:50] <smik> iceroot: I want to monitor ppp0 so created DB for that. Now I says that it doesn't have enough data.
[17:50] <cdubya> Dr_Willis, what's the easiest way to setup ssh with decent enough privs to be able to edit content for pages I want to publish on this machine for our local network, etc...
[17:50] <smik> iceroot: now it's wroking
[17:50] <emhs> Howdy, folks.  Samba's fighting me somethin' fierce in this new version.  Anyone have a tip as to how to get it to behave?  I'm trying to share an external backup drive on my network.
[17:50] <iceroot> smik: great
[17:50] <smik> iceroot: thanks
[17:50] <acicula> ManDay, yet supported is supported, unsupported is not, but yeah its a chicken egg problem
[17:51] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: I had not done aptitude update, do you think that's key?
[17:51] <og01> is there a apt-get re-install or anything?
[17:51] <iceroot> smik: i am using something like that  vnstat -w | mail -s "weekly traffic"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:51] <acicula> og01, apt-get install --reinstall
[17:51] <irv> wols: trying kernel linux-image-2.6.34-1-686_2.6.34-1~experimental.2_i386.deb
[17:52] <og01> acicula: thanks
[17:52] <smik> iceroot: I need to monitor daily traffic. Anyway, it seems that vnstat require sometime to update it's database
[17:52] <iceroot> smik: not really
[17:52] <iceroot> smik: its very fast here
[17:52] <og01> acicula: hmm it didnt re-create /etc/apache2
[17:52] <iceroot> smik: use vnstat -d to get daily traffic
[17:53] <og01> acicula: when i reinstalled apache2
[17:53] <smik> iceroot: yes, I checked by runing vnstat. It showed 160KB. I did a refresh on Facebook. Then did vnstat again
[17:53] <acicula> og01, you''ll have to purge the settings first
[17:53] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: My understanding of a live USB install was that the kernel was immutable.
[17:53] <acicula> og01, apt-get remove --purge
[17:53] <smik> iceroot: it still says 160KB
[17:53] <timmillwood> Everyone waiting to see what Mr Jobs has to say? ;)
[17:53] <iceroot> smik: because your browser is caching
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  ive updated kernels befor  for them. I THINK.. but now im not sure..
[17:54] <ubnuntu_giant> Hello, I'm trying to start gnome-terminal.  The command I have to start the terminal is "screen -x."  Therefore, the terminal does not start and I have no other profiles in gnome-terminal.  Anyone have a solution?  thanks.
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  ive been toying with 'normal' installs to flash drives..  so im not sure any more
[17:54] <acicula> timmillwood, err not really, is there some apple event? best discussed in -offtopic ?
[17:54] <smik> iceroot: Oh c'mon, it sure would have transfered at least a KB
[17:54] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: Well, if you have a USB live install with b43, then you've done it!
[17:54] <timmillwood> acicula: ;)
[17:54] <iceroot> smik: why? if everything is cached
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  i am trying now.. but this is an older 9.10 flash setup. tryint the sta driver, will try b43 also
[17:55] <irv> anyone know how to install an older kenel than 2.6.32 on the netbook version
[17:55] <smik> iceroot: let me do Ctrl+Shift+R
[17:55] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: I appreciate it!
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  i was able to install the nvidia drivers.. so im not sure why the b43 would be any different
[17:55] <smik> iceroot: yes you are correct
[17:55] <jrib> og01: apache2 is not the correct package.  « dpkg -S /etc/apache2/apache2.conf » for example will reveal the truth to you
[17:55]  * jeward_ crosses his fingers.
[17:55] <iceroot> smik: of course i am correct
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  except my save file just ran out of space.. :) doh!
[17:55] <jeward_> :)
[17:55] <iceroot> smik: :)
[17:55] <ubnuntu_giant> Ah, gconf-editor, you're my friend. :)
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  this (ubuntu variant) i got going - dosent seem to be smart about uising the save file.
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> jeward_:  so i cant really test it.
[17:56] <og01> jrib: thanks
[17:56] <jeward_> Dr_Willis: Darn.  I'll try mine again.
[17:57] <ManDay> acicula, *not
[17:57] <koshie> How I can know with the KDE battery monitor the time left please ?

[18:01] <Oer> evening, profxavier
[18:02] <abuayyoub> Anyone here familiar with a program called NZBGET?
[18:02] <laelkrol> Nope, i never heard about it
[18:02] <lindenle1> Where do I put the dns servers for my static ip so that they are there once I get back to work?
[18:03] <laelkrol> Yesterday i'v started to use Linux
[18:03] <profxavier> laelkrol welcome to the world of learning :D
[18:03] <laelkrol> thanks
[18:03] <koshie> anyone know for battery monitor of KDE ?
[18:04] <profxavier> koshie, using apropos will search packages (via command line
[18:04] <Izinucs> Slart: trying to fix my upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04.  I had the binary nvidia driver loaded during the upgrade and have been able to reinstall it once but need to do it again after uninstalling the ubuntu nvidia bits that conflict.. but issuing a sudo service gdm stop from TTY2 says "stop: Unknown instance:" yet the installer won't run because it thinks X is still running.. any help?
[18:04] <koshie> profxavier, Thank
[18:04] <profxavier> koshie no problem
[18:05] <laelkrol> How to get new line with konsole?
[18:05] <Slart> Izinucs: hmm.. "sudo service gdm stop" works on my 10.04 machine... you could try  "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" as an alternative
[18:05] <koshie> new line ?
[18:05] <koshie> laelkrol, a clear terminal ?
[18:05] <Slart> laelkrol: \ then press enter?
[18:05] <iceroot> laelkrol: ctrl + l
[18:05] <laelkrol> when im pressing enter it finish line
[18:05] <koshie> add & at the end of your command ?
[18:05] <iceroot> laelkrol: ah sorry, new line and not clear screen
[18:05] <koshie> Like xchat & ?
[18:06] <koshie> And you can use the terminal.
[18:06] <laelkrol> thanks
[18:06] <laelkrol> work
[18:06] <laelkrol> Slart
[18:06] <koshie> No prob'.
[18:06] <laelkrol> :D
[18:06] <koshie> laelkrol, it's a very interesting option
[18:06] <koshie> ;)
[18:06] <laelkrol> And it works with cpp?
[18:06] <shaw1337> Hi all
[18:06] <profxavier> vmware tools for ubuntu, are they available ?
[18:06] <laelkrol> hi you
[18:06] <Izinucs> Slart: nope.. maybe I'll start gdm again and restop.. right now when going to ctrl+alt+F7  it shows thinks stuck on "battery state" but this is a desktop
[18:06] <Slart> laelkrol: I have no idea..
[18:06] <shaw1337> :P
[18:06] <profxavier> im running ubuntu in my VMware, on a Windows system...
[18:07] <shaw1337> K
[18:07] <Armagetron> the tools of course
[18:07] <shaw1337> yup u can install the drivers for VM ware
[18:07] <laelkrol> I haven't ubuntu ;p
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> I just find virtualbox easier to use these days
[18:07] <shaw1337> yup virtual box iz too better opt
[18:07] <Armagetron> it's better to i think
[18:07] <infid> i'm using ubuntu to connect to my other ubuntu computer's shared printer to print something and it keeps asking for my password to print the page, and i keep entering it and it doesnt say it's right or wrong, it just keeps prompting me for it again and again forever. any idea why?
[18:08] <Armagetron> i use vmware player for win98 under win7
[18:08] <laelkrol> i downloaded and im using BackTrack4
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> infid:  do you ahve identical named users and identical passwords on both machines?
[18:08] <Izinucs> Slart: now it won't start.. just a screen flash and that's it.. reports "gdm start/running, process 2592" ... weird
may be u kept a network password
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> infid:  you can set up shared printers to allow anyone to print - so no password is needed
[18:09] <infid> Dr_Willis: how?
[18:09] <infid> Dr_Willis: yes i do have identical named users/passwords on both
[18:09] <Slart> Izinucs: did you manage to install the video driver? you could check the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if something interesting was logged
[18:09] <Izinucs> Slart: I'll do that.
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> infid:  check the cups web interface. It should be in there somewhere
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> infid:  http://localhost:631
[18:10] <infid> Dr_Willis: are they not allowed to have the same user/password?
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> infid:  i always have the same ones.. i also recall never neeing to enter a password..  but its been months since i last had a setup like that
[18:11] <Izinucs> Slart: says it couldn't find the module "nvidia" .. argggggg.
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> new printer = wireless :) so its allready networked
[18:11] <Slart> Izinucs: but the nvidia binary driver install worked, right?
[18:12] <feckser> HowTo make a virtual package?
[18:12] <zicho> what is phy0?
[18:13] <salil> How bad is the overhead of running compiz in negative mode?
[18:13] <Izinucs> Slart: yea.. I was having errors installing the latest trying to fix the upgrade then resorted to installing the same version driver which loaded or rather installed fine from the looks of it.. but I didn't test it.. I went directly to the new driver and installed that which removed the older driver.. then I was left here.. I think I need to reboot and try reinstalling one or the other again.
[18:13] <Slart> Izinucs: yes.. try it again.. see if it helps.. nvidias installer has never given me any problems that a reboot and retry didn't solve
[18:14] <Izinucs> Slart: me too.. since 6.06 :(
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> salil:  unegative? you  mean with the colors in inverse? I wouldent think the overhead would be much at all.
[18:14] <Izinucs> Slart: brb..
[18:14] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> will someone tell me how to make an empty file ab 3gb in "length" from twerm?
[18:14] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> term*
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> vic20gmr_[lucid]:  use dd and the proper bs and count options
[18:15] <salil> Dr_Willis: Is that a GPU instruction? Or does compiz have to scan the buffer inverting R, G, B values to do it?
[18:15] <infid> Dr_Willis: i dont see any option to make it so they dont have to enter their password. maybe you jsut did the 'remember password' thing
[18:15] <laelkrol> How long r u using Linux?
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=XXXXXX count=XXXXX (i think)
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> infid:  i recall there being a server setting for 'guest access'
[18:15] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> please? ive looked, and so far nothing
[18:15] <erUSUL> vic20gmr_[lucid]: dd if=/dev/null of=file bs=1M count=3000
[18:16] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i remeber seeing howto sometime ago [ab 3yrs] i just cant remebr and knowing wud allow me to get on with wut im doing
[18:16] <kaioken> Can I send mail using `mail` command  to remote hosts like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[18:16] <Kebap23> hi, i was trying to access one of these webradio streams http://www.eldoradio.de/webradio/ but neither my rythmbox nor videoplayer could handle the links. can you?
[18:16] <squidly> Dr_Willis: yep
[18:16] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> erUSUL: ty
[18:16] <accipter> So I have a very strange issue. I was sending a subversion commit to my ubuntu box last week when it dropped the network connection and saved no logs during that time.  How do I figure out what happened? This has happened in the past when I was sending lots of data over samba.
[18:16] <squidly> vic20gmr_[lucid]: man dd
[18:16]  * Chriisti Hello ppl
[18:17] <kaioken> How do I do it .If yes?
[18:17] <tavis> where does x get the fontpath in lucid now that xorg.conf is gone?
[18:17] <rig0rmortis> My network card (eth0) is not coming up automatically when I boot my computer. If I run dhclient eth0 as root the interface comes up and works properly. How I do get the interface to come up automatically?
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> tavis:  the fontpath hasent been needed in xorg.conf in ages. :) Normally a font server is used. (i recall)
[18:18] <infid> Dr_Willis: i just dont see that, there is option for choosing which users to allow or deny though, but even when i tell it to allow my 'infid' user it still prompts me for a password then says 'holding for authentication' for a few seconds then re-prompts me for a password
[18:18] <tavis> Dr_Willis: xfs is not installed by default... is there a different font server in use?
[18:19] <erUSUL> rig0rmortis: with network manager? or usin /etc/network/interfaces ?
[18:19] <squidly> rig0rmortis: are you using network manager?
[18:20] <infid> Dr_Willis: it tells me 'printer state: idle - NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote spool Test page'
[18:21] <sad> hi
[18:21] <unimatrix9> hi there
[18:21] <unimatrix9> could i show the output of dmesg into notify-send ? how to do this
[18:22] <rig0rmortis> erUSUL: No network manager, this is ubuntu server.
[18:22] <sad> So Im trying to get emerald to work without it reverting when I log out
[18:22] <rosco_> Someone knows a web browser that let me zoom images as well as text ? I'm on a 30'' screen and I need a good zoom function. Firefox doesn't do anti-aliasing for example.
[18:23] <erUSUL> rig0rmortis: do you edited /etc/network/interfaces to configure your card ? two lines are enough 1) auto eth0 2) iface eth0 inet dhcp
[18:23] <erUSUL> rig0rmortis: add them to the end of file
[18:24] <squidly> if there is nothing else in regrauding eth0 in interfaces
[18:24] <zicho> what is phy0?
[18:25] <erUSUL> zicho: the phy(sical) chip of your wifi probably ;)
[18:25] <erUSUL> !emerald | sad
[18:25] <panfist> is it possible to disable network configuration with the graphical tool and go back to termina/config files
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> infid:  this is a windows or linxu box shareing a printer to a windows or linux box?
[18:26] <erUSUL> panfist: ifaces present in /etc/network/interfaces are ifnored by network manager
[18:26] <erUSUL> ignored*
[18:26] <zicho> erUSUL, okay, because sometimes it just freaks out and takes a lot of cpu... is there anyway to kill it or something?
[18:26] <panfist> i see
[18:26] <infid> Dr_Willis: i fixed it, the device url was wrong, it was pointing to print$ when it should have been DESKJET_4200
[18:26] <erUSUL> zicho: zicho consumes cpu ? is a process ?
[18:28] <zicho> erUSUL yes
[18:28] <simple_x> hi. I would like to know how to run nautilus in root
[18:28] <ikonia> simple_x: gksudo natuilus
[18:28] <simple_x> thanks ikonia
[18:29] <tavis> How do i add directories to the FontPath on lucid?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[18:30] <sad> How do I configure Emerald to run after I reboot.
[18:30] <ikonia> !emerald | sad
[18:30] <erUSUL> zicho: well you can try to kill it the normal way... but really dunno about of a process of that name ...
[18:30] <ikonia> sad: also look at the startup applications menu
[18:31] <kdasdasf> hi i have a problem with a programm which constantly reads from disk (according to iotop and the disk sound). how can i find out which files are read by the program/
[18:31] <sad> fair enough
[18:31] <ikonia> kdasdasf: truss it,
[18:31] <_L30_> hey i get a error - your system doesnt seem to setup to build kernel modules when installing virtualbox guest additions
[18:31] <_L30_> how do i solve it
[18:31] <erUSUL> zicho: ok; found it ... is a kernel threath so probably you wont be able to kill it ...
[18:32] <erUSUL> zicho: looks like a bug in the wifi driver; maybe installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic helps
[18:32] <kdasdasf> ikonia, what do you mean by ,,truss it'', i'm not a nativ english speaker
[18:32] <kdasdasf> trash it?
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> _l30_: is the guest ubuntu based?
[18:32] <ikonia> kdasdasf: the command is truss, however unless you know what you're doing it won't make much sense
[18:32] <_L30_> guest is ubuntu itself
[18:32] <ikonia> kdasdasf: why do you want to know the files is accessing ?
[18:32] <ikonia> kdasdasf: what is the application ?
[18:33] <h0ar3> http://bit.ly/bQ5gaW
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> _l30_: you may need to install dkms
[18:33] <guntbert> _L30_: in the guest install dkms first -- virtual box support is to be found in #vbox
[18:33] <kdasdasf> ikonia, it's firefox, i already moved the .mozilla profile to a ramdisk but it's still accessing files and i don't know which
[18:33] <kdasdasf> and i want to make it stop
[18:33] <_L30_> yea dkms forgot it :P
[18:33] <ikonia> kdasdasf: errr, it's not going to, it will be accessing system libraries on your machine to run
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> _l30_ : d'oh
[18:33] <ikonia> kdasdasf: it may also be using swap
[18:33] <_L30_> thanks for reminding
[18:33] <martianlobster> What is the latest working version of netbook remix?  10.4 or 9.04 ?
[18:34] <kdasdasf> ikonia, but not wich constantly 300kib/sec
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Np bro
[18:34] <kdasdasf> ikonia, and i have 2 gib of free ram
[18:34] <kdasdasf> so no need for accessing the swap
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Kdasdasf: you could use lsof to see what's going on
[18:34] <ikonia> kdasdasf: it still will swap out disk cache to load a program (not just firefox)
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Kfdasfasf: set vm.swappiness to 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf too. Always helps :)
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Kdasdasf: ^
[18:35] <kdasdasf> ActionParsnip, it has like 262 files open :-D
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Kdasdasf: then grep or pipe to less. Makes things more useful
[18:36] <kdasdasf> ah
[18:36] <kdasdasf> fontcache
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Kdasdasf: bingo. Useful huh ;)
[18:37] <kdasdasf> yey cool
[18:37] <zicho> erUSUL thanks
[18:37] <erUSUL> zicho: no problem
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Kdasdasf: setting the vm.swappiness lower will make the system use swap less. I believe the default is 60 or somesuch
[18:38] <rig0rmortis> erUSUL: Adding those lines to /etc/networking/interfaces solved my problem. Thank you.
[18:38] <erUSUL> rig0rmortis: no problem
[18:38] <trism> unimatrix9: kind of late but something like: tail -f /var/log/messages | while read LINE; do notify-send "Kernel Message" "$LINE"; done; might work, although it may flood you with messages, might want a sleep in there
[18:38] <kdasdasf> ActionParsnip, thanks i'll try
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> martianlobster: there is a lucid netbook edition. Its call UNE now. Runs fine.
[18:39] <martianlobster> ActionParsnip: thanks
[18:39] <hummer256> Hey folks, I'm trying to get into Ubuntu (v10.04) and I've gotten a number of things done, however I can't seem to get my sound to work, can anyone help me?
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> Kdasfasf: search for guides. Id help but this g1 sucks at web unless I jump to 3g but my battery will go real fast
[18:39] <erUSUL> hummer256: laptop ?
[18:40] <hummer256> PC, it's an Asus p4p800-e motherboard
[18:40] <kokozedman> hey people, i'm unable to install Ubuntu 10.04 x64 on my laptop because i get a garbled graphics
[18:40] <livingdaylight> puedes ayudarme?
[18:40] <hummer256> I'm dual booting with Windows XP, everything works fine on Windows
[18:40] <livingdaylight> i can't cofigure my bluetooth
[18:40] <kokozedman> mine also is an Asus laptop: model X5DIN based on the K50IN motherboard
[18:41] <livingdaylight> someone is know bluetooth?
[18:41] <ianto> kokonoula: Have you tried to use the Alternate disc?
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Hummer256: use http://pastebin.com ,to give the output of: sudo lshw -C sound ,thanks
[18:41] <kokozedman> i have tried the vga=771 but it didn't work
[18:41] <ianto> kokozedman: Sorry that was meant for you ^
[18:41] <saruji> hi guys quick question, how can i specify in remote viewer for a specific port to use?
[18:41] <kokozedman> ianto: what alternate disc?
[18:42] <sandking> hello
[18:42] <FliesLikeABrick> saruji does adding a :portnumber onto the end work?
[18:42] <ianto> kokozedman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation using the Alternate CD

[18:42] <wereHamster> I installed ubuntu and chose to install grub into the mbr. Is there a way to change that now? I have another boot loader in the mbr and don't want ubuntu to touch it
[18:42] <vladimirs> how can I find which wireless card driver I'm using and add it to the startup drivers?
[18:42] <kokozedman> what makes me scratch my head is that previous ubuntu were fine... graphics appear; but this new one has artifacts that can't be recognized
[18:42] <kokozedman> ok
[18:43] <hummer256> Actionparsnip I put the sudo command in the terminal, says it's AC'97 Audio Controller
[18:43] <shomon> In which apt package can I find gdm-config?
[18:43] <sandking> i'm trying to install rockbox on my iriver h120 which i've formatted but it doesn't boot up properly, so i'm installing rockbox again on it. problem is - palimpsest sees it but when i select the device by bus it says mountpoint is not writeable
[18:43] <FliesLikeABrick> wereHamster ubuntu shouldn't touch the MBR again post-install unless you tell it to
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Kokozedman: did you md5 test the iso you burned? Have you verified the cd is ok once first booted to?
[18:43] <sandking> anyone know what should i do? the device is formatted for usb
[18:43]  * profxavier really needs to understand sshd/ssh better
[18:43] <wereHamster> FliesLikeABrick: not even when updating the kernel?
[18:43] <wereHamster> or grub?
[18:43] <FliesLikeABrick> correct wereHamster
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> Hummer256: use the pastebin please. You can give the exact output rather than an interpretation
[18:44] <kokozedman> ActionParsnip yes, i always do that... i actually did download both the Ubuntu and Kubuntu... both have the same problem
[18:44] <FliesLikeABrick> if grub needs to be updated in such a way that it rewrites the MBR, it will prompt you and you can say no
[18:44] <wereHamster> well, I've had it trash my mbr before, so I don't trust it anymore
[18:44] <sandking> i used lsusb to check device bus number but maybe i should point it other way?
[18:44] <wereHamster> .. without prompt that is
[18:44] <FliesLikeABrick> wereHamster and when a kernel is updated/installed it only edits the grub config files
[18:44] <FliesLikeABrick> wereHamster well maybe it's time to trust it and see if you have problems again

[18:47] <malchias> ActionParsnip: wordpress doesn't send mail, so whatever hook that php/perl/etc uses by default... the actual agent isn't important as long as it's safe (exim4, postfix, sendmail - which should I use?)
[18:47] <ianto> !partition > hoens1
[18:47] <kokozedman> ActionParsnip thanks... that might be a good solution, because i'm also having a similar gfx

[18:53] <Vax_> do anyone knows how to set up the Flash so it could be recognized by most of the websites?
[18:53] <malchias> greezmunkey: that's really a cool solution for other things, but I am hosting a few websites on one server and need their scripts to be able to send email.  What is a good solution for this?   They don't process email (no incoming mail), only send it for notifications, password recovery and the like
[18:54] <jozefk> Vax_, what kind of flash you are setting up?
[18:54] <abhi_> hi
[18:55] <uLinux> anybody with HDA sound problems
[18:55] <jozefk> hello abhi_
[18:55] <Slart> uLinux: tons...
[18:55] <jozefk> :))
[18:55] <abhi_> recently i have installed ubuntu on my laptop... already my system has mandriva another disk.. not ubuntu is listing the mandriva in the grub main but it is failing to boot the mandriva.
[18:55] <sad> Im trying to install themes and alternate login screen in 10.04, but from what Im reading this version is somewhat different than previous version
[18:55] <Slart> uLinux: it is, after all, a very common sound chip
, adobe flash. usually it works fine (like youtube.com) but sometimes it just doesn't. The most popluar place could be gmail
[18:56] <uLinux> Slart, I mean... sometimes when Im watching a video and pause it I hear a weird sound
[18:56] <jozefk> Vax_, OK you are talking about flash plug-in for browser. which browser?
[18:56] <erUSUL> !intelhda | uLinux
, any. same thing in ff, chrome
[18:56] <greezmunkey> malchias: If you are hosting websites, then you should nkow about sendmail - use that.
[18:57] <uLinux> ty
[18:57] <Slart> uLinux: it could be so many things.. everything from hardware interference to some driver bug.. I've never heard of that specific problem before
[18:57] <Mwen____> if i want to connect as root at distance to my computer, how can i do that?
[18:57] <Slart> Mwen____: ssh?
[18:57] <jozefk> Vax_, for me flash works  fine on all websites. I use chromium. and 10.04 32bit
[18:57] <Slart> Mwen____: or vnc.. or freenx
[18:58] <erUSUL> Mwen____: better connect as normal user then sudo
[18:58] <erUSUL> Mwen____: ubuntu does not have root anyway...
[18:58] <Mwen____> slart: ok. i put as login "root" and i don't now what password type?
[18:58] <jiffe> any idea why the quota disk usage reporting would be wildly off?  quota and repquota both reported a disk usage over 50000 whereas it was closer to 1000, I ran a quotacheck on the filesystem and that fixed it but I'm not sure why it was off to begin with

[19:00] <BluesKaj> hummer256: which soundcard?
[19:00] <erUSUL> alkemann: /usr/share/doc/ probably
[19:00] <jozefk> dartt, somebody already post the gpg key link...
[19:00] <h00k> !gpgerr | darthc
[19:00] <erUSUL> alkemann: dpkg -L packagename
[19:00] <h00k> dartt: ^
[19:00] <dartt> whr i need it plz plox plix
[19:01] <h00k> dartt: please also use proper English, it isn't everone's native language and can make understanding quite difficult
, no, neither it works in opera :(
[19:01] <dartt> ok
[19:01] <erUSUL> dartt: do « sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade » paste any error you get
[19:01] <bobo123> ok noone have any idea why I can't copy the file then. I guess NTFS is a bad filesystem. bad karma. :-/

[19:01] <theadmin> Have a problem here. Have a python script and want to make it executable, so first line has to be "#!/usr/bin/env python", but it contains non-ASCII characters so first line has to be "# coding=utf-8"... now how to achieve that it both works and is executable?
[19:01] <jozefk> abhi_, might be you need to fix the grub
[19:01] <_lemsx1_> I'm having problems with preseed and LVM+RAID setup. anybody can help?
[19:02] <magn3ts> Is it possible to have an encrypted home partition in software RAID5?
[19:02] <abhi_> one sec jozefk .. my ubuntu got hanged...
[19:02] <jozefk> Vax_, youtube is not working for you in any browser?
[19:02] <erUSUL> theadmin: where does that # coding=utf-8 requirement come from ?
[19:02] <abhi_> let me reboot it..
[19:02] <cousteau> theadmin: just guessing, but maybe you can place the "# coding=utf-8" on the second line
[19:02] <abhi_> what a crap 10.4
[19:02] <BluesKaj> hummer256:  run. lspci | grep audio
[19:02] <jozefk> :))
[19:02] <theadmin> cousteau: Hm... worked... o_o
[19:02] <jozefk> for me 10.04 works fine
[19:03] <_lemsx1_> magn3ts: sure. the special device is taking like a regular disk. so you can encrypt your /home as mounted from /dev/md0, for instance
[19:03] <Slart> theadmin: make a script that launches your program with python, make the script executable? I'm not sure how to solve the "both have to be first"-problem
, youtube works but it is only because it doesn't check if adobe flash is installed.
[19:03] <theadmin> cousteau: Heh. It didn't work as third line though lol
[19:03] <hummer256> BluesKaj: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
[19:03] <cousteau> theadmin: well, maybe Python skips the #!
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[19:04] <theadmin> cousteau: May be, who knows what it is, it worked anyway :D
[19:04] <jozefk> Vax_, might be you need to install then something for flash to work properly .
[19:04] <_AID_> yep
[19:04] <_AID_> yep
[19:04] <theadmin> _AID_: What does that reffer to and why repeat it twice?
[19:04] <alkemann> what kind of file is a .gz?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Vax_: make sure you only have ONE flash plugin installed. No gnash and no swf player as well or it will conflict
[19:04] <dartt> erUSUL: i m not getting any error
[19:04] <bobo123> play some yoyo ActionParsnip? :-)
[19:04] <cousteau> there was also a #*# thing or something like that that I don't know what it did
[19:04] <theadmin> alkemann: gzip-compressed file
[19:05] <cousteau> alkemann: a GZip-compressed file
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Alkemann: its a compressed archive
[19:05]  * _AID_ hates yoyo's
[19:05] <_AID_> use 7-zip
[19:05] <alkemann> i double clicked and it shows me a slideshow
[19:05]  * bobo123 want a yoyo with linux
[19:05] <erUSUL> cousteau: theadmin the kernel strips the first line. You shuld read about how shebang ( #! ) works :)
[19:05] <theadmin> _AID_: ...7-zip? For a gzip archive? Default would work
[19:05] <jozefk> lol slideshow
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Alkemann: tar -zxvf file ,will extract it, or use right click menu in nautilis
[19:05] <cousteau> ActionParsnip: not really an archive, it only contains a single file
[19:05] <dartt> plz post the link for key for getting updates via update manager

[19:10] <Alloeishus> I had ubuntu installed then I installed Win7. Everything went fine while I partitioned the HDD, installed windows but then Ubuntu didnt load grub so I booted liveCD and now I have (somehow) 3 copies of ubuntu showing in grub and windows 7. can I just delete and resize my partitions (the ones with the extra ubuntus)? Will it keep grub showing original Ubuntu and Win7?
[19:10] <h00k> _AID_: please stick to the support topic or head to #ubuntu-offtopic. You're aware of the guidelines
[19:11] <_AID_> oh you mean the link thing"

[19:11] <_AID_> i closed the tab though i need a new one plz

[19:11] <erUSUL> samosa: /join #vbox
[19:11] <samosa> erUSUL I DID
[19:11] <abhi_> jozefk, ok
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Alloeishus: review your grub config. If the kernel versions are different in the boot menu then this is normal and you can remove unnecessary kernels to say 120mb poer kernel
[19:12] <samosa> NO ONE ANSWERED
[19:12] <_AID_> g2g
[19:12] <Mwen____> and if i want to connect to a server whom does not secure?
[19:12] <samosa> bai
[19:12] <erUSUL> dartt: we have to guess that gpg error; or are you going to paste it ?
[19:12] <erUSUL> !pastwe
[19:12] <erUSUL> !paste
[19:12] <h00k> samosa: Please don't use all caps in here.
[19:12] <BluesKaj> hummer256:  yes , System > Preferences > Sound
[19:12] <erUSUL> !patience | samosa
[19:12] <Alloeishus> ActionParsnip, I dont like messing with my grub config. Can you fix it for me? :)
[19:12] <greezmunkey> samosa: you may get responses if you actually ask a question...
[19:12] <samosa> oh
[19:13] <BluesKaj> bbiab ...check check our paper mailbox
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Erusul: can I pm you dude., real uick trivial question foe you
[19:13] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: of course
[19:13] <hummer256> BluesKaj: I have no Pulseaudio option
[19:13] <dartt> erUSUL: see...i got a gpg error...then i clicked on restore defaults in update manager....then it vanished....but since then i m not getting updates.....
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Alloeishus: you wont , you'l be simply removing old kernels to tidy the place up. I'm guessing this is what you mean
[19:13] <samosa> greezmunkey: i did ask an actual question
[19:13] <krasher> anyone can help me? i change my graphical preferences using the nvidia settings manager but every time i reboot my ubuntu 10.4 rig, my resolutions drops to 640x480 when i logon...

[19:14] <dartt> erUSUL: i dun recall exact error....its not showing anymore.....
[19:14] <Alloeishus> ActionParsnip, yes except I will be removing new kernels. Let me try to find the file once again then I will be back to ask more pathetic newb questions (Im trying to learn I assure you).
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> Krasher: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings ,setup the display then click "save to x config file". Should be fine after that
[19:15] <jozefk> h00k, stopped :) maybe next time I'll pastebin the links
[19:15] <ociredeF> I need to find all the files inside a path which contain the following line  <?php include("http://marketing-eficaz.net/AS-SA/adsense3.html"); ?>            how do I archieve this?
[19:15] <abhi_> jozefk, let me check if can resolve this boot issue ...
[19:16] <Alloeishus> ActionParsnip, my grub config file says do not edit and it also got a lot larger.. this sucks
[19:16] <greezmunkey> samosa: vbox with vista host n ubuntu guest os experiance anyone...That really isn't a support worth question.
, no. nothing but adobe flash is installed
[19:16] <abhi_> jozefk, there was a nice tutorial somewhere in ubuntu forums, where they have mentioned this issue.. but now i am not able to find it.
[19:16] <greezmunkey> s/worth/worthy
[19:16] <Mwen____> an answer?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Alloeishus: you don't edit grub.cfg you use the config files. You will find if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 ,that you see the kernels offered in grub
[19:17] <jozefk> abhi_, I don't have that link either
[19:17] <abhi_> jozefk, np.. just telling u ...
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Alloeishus: you can remove the old kernels but NOT the current kernel and the entries will be removed for you
[19:18] <stenchmaster> samosa: I'm running vbox on xp hosts and running vbox on ubuntu hosts the guests are FreeBSD and Ubuntu, what's your ?
[19:18] <Alloeishus> ActionParsnip, oh I was deleting all the text within the grub.cfg file :| see I shouldnt be allowed to do this
[19:19] <abhi_> guys my ubuntu is hanging quite often .. this issue was not there on earlier versions of ubuntu... does any one faced the same issue.
[19:19] <hummer256> BluesKaj: I have installed PulseAudio Applet, it says everything is maxed, and the Volume meter reads that sound is being played, but nothing is coming out of the speakers
[19:19] <abstrakt> !studio
[19:19] <zorbix> Is mybashburn any good? Brasero is just too buggy to be practical.
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Alloeishus: the file is generated. You can remake it with: sudo update-grub
[19:19] <abstrakt> what are the things that ubuntustudio leaves out?
[19:19] <abstrakt> where do i find that list?
[19:19] <h00k> abhi_: that is a very broad question
[19:20] <Alloeishus> ActionParsnip, I didnt save my alterations to the grub.cfg file. Ok when I run dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 it shows two images but no option to delete and I dont know which one im using as they are exactly the same wording. Now what?
[19:20] <zorbix> abhi: What applications were you using when the system froze?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Abstrackt: you can look on: http://packages.ubuntu.com and look at what the metapackage provides
[19:21] <abhi_> h00k: just 10 min ago .. my ubuntu got hanged.. I can't minimize or open any application.. i have reboot using : ctrl+alt+F1...
[19:21] <dartt> which one is updated version rhythm-box 0.12.8-0ubuntu5 or rhythm-box 0.12.8-0ubuntu6?
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Alloeishus: if you run: uname -a ,you can see the current kernel. You can then use software centre to remove the OTHER. This will tidy grub up for you
[19:21] <sean_> abhi_, what did you do
[19:21] <jon_high9000> what is the screen when the computer is starting to boot up. it has a black background and the white ubuntu symbol in the center?
[19:22] <ubuntu> siemanko jest tu jakisPL???
[19:22] <abhi_> sean: nothing i m just chatting on xchat and this happened..
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> Jon_high9000: plymouth
[19:22] <Alloeishus> ActionParsnip, oh thats easy :) thanks!
[19:22] <hummer256> BluesKaj: I fixed it by setting it to Audio 5.0 surround, thank you for your help!
[19:22] <BluesKaj> hummer256:  I would remove pulseaudio, since it's a redundant layer just reprocessing
[19:22] <jon_high9000> it is on karmic koala 9.10
[19:22] <abhi_> and i mark this happen around 5-6 times after the installation.
[19:22] <hummer256> BluesKaj: Will do, thank you again!
[19:22] <BluesKaj> hummer256:  glad to hear it
[19:23] <Notch-1> hi, i think the update to lucid messed up with some configuration file, network related (nm-applet gives me a little configuration error) can somebody help me?
[19:23] <sean_> abhi_, how old is your computer
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Alloeishus: tread carefully but you will be fine. Ubuntu keeps the old kernels incase the new one doesn't work and you can select the older one
[19:24] <jozefk> BluesKaj, pulseaudio is distributing stereo sound to 5+1 speakers for me and that's nice feature
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Notch-1: what's the error?
[19:24] <sean_> ActionParsnip, how do you delete old kernels
[19:24] <BluesKaj> hummer256, maybe pulsaudio works for your setup, but most onboard soundcxards don't benefit much from it
[19:24] <abhi_> sean: mine is new laptop..
[19:24] <abhi_> core 2duo, 4gb.. ati graphics..
[19:25] <jozefk> yeah onboard is ok without pulse..
[19:25] <Alloeishus> ActionParsnip, I want to remove the kernel headers, correct?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Sean_: run: uname -a ,shows the current kernel. You can then run; dpkg l | grep linux-image-2 ,to see the installed kernels. Remove what you don't need but do NOT remove the current kernel
[19:25] <Notch-1> ActionParsnip: " couldn't retrieve system settings properties: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files."
[19:25] <abhi_> sean_, can graphics card may cause the issue.
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Alloeishus: you can run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ,to remove those too. They are now no use to you
[19:26] <abhi_> sean_, i am not able to install the correct driver for my GPH card
 it is on karmic koala 9.10.
[19:26] <sean_> sean_, maybe that is it
[19:26] <jozefk> :))
[19:27] <dartt> can smone tell me when anyone got new lucid updates last time?
[19:27] <sean_> abhi_, can you reinstall the driver
[19:27] <Leftmost> How can I restrict an apt-get upgrade to security packages?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Jon_high9000: karmic. I think karmic uses it. It may be usplash
[19:27] <jozefk> dartt, few days ago. there was some kernel update
[19:27] <wise_crypt> !kms
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Leftmost: open software sources in system -> admin and uncheck the updates you don't want
[19:28] <abhi_> sean_, once i used the "hardware drivers" tool to install the drivers and my graphics went down... so i was bit reclusive to use that tool .
[19:28] <Leftmost> ActionParsnip, it's on a headless box.
[19:28] <dartt> ok
[19:28] <abhi_> sean_, is there any other automated process.
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Leftmost: then run: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the stuff you don't need
[19:28] <Leftmost> I can edit sources.list, but I'd much prefer to just restrict the updates this once.
[19:28] <yoritomo> i have very often program instability then programs are greyed looks like no real reasons they eat all the cpu, like firefox, twinkle and some other which should not cause real problems
[19:29] <yoritomo> i am on lucid with amd64 3200+ and 1,5Gb ram
[19:29] <BluesKaj> jozefk, pulseaudio works best with pci sndcards , altho the newer pcs' with onboard surround seem to benefit more then older pc onboards
 thank you.
[19:29] <subone> Does anyone know anything about Bluetooth? I have my Motorokr Stereo bluetooth headphones connected to my computer, but for some reason sound preferences says that i can only output as Mono.
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Leftmost: you could create an extra sources.list to copy inas well as backup the original. If you only want the security ones you can copy the security based sources file into the driving seat
[19:29] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip,  what's the best way to disable NM ?
[19:30]  * profxavier offers sjm a thumbs up!
[19:30] <ubutom> abhi_, it's normal that the screen goes black for a second, when you install the driver the display manager is restarted
[19:30] <jozefk> BluesKaj, I have 5.1 PCI soundcard and pulse works fine for me. I tried to have the same effect with ALSA only but without success
[19:30] <yoritomo> even gnome system monitor takes already 30% of the memory !
[19:30] <yoritomo> of the cpu
[19:30] <subone> oh nvm
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Blueskaj: I always uninstall it. Not sure dude. You may be able to kill the process but it may be respawned.
[19:30] <subone> had to switch profile
[19:30] <BluesKaj> jozefk, right , thanks for the info.
[19:30] <cousteau> yoritomo: try to make the programs use less resources
[19:30] <mwen____> how can i have more than one console when i connect to my computer at distance?
[19:30] <sean_> abhi_, maybe try the tool again
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Yoritomo: top ,will show you the top offenders
[19:31] <cousteau> e.g. Firefox: install adblock plus and flashblock
[19:31] <abhi_> ubutom, that's right, bit in my case it went down and did not came back..
[19:31] <stenchmaster> yoritomo: did you try to run top, vmstat etc.. to identifiy your biggest hogs?
[19:31] <abhi_> sean_, ok..
[19:31] <jozefk> mwen____, from linux to linux?
[19:31] <yoritomo> cousteau, using cpu limit ?
[19:31] <cousteau> or gnome-system-monitor: slow down refresh rate
[19:31] <abhi_> sean_, let's see if this time it works or not..
[19:31] <yoritomo> i don't know top, how to use it ?
[19:31] <sjm> mwen____: through ssh?
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Cousteau: could not install them too to make it lighter, or use kazenchase or swiftfox
[19:31] <mwen____> from windows to ubuntu
[19:31] <sean_> abhi_, ok
[19:31] <stenchmaster> yoritomo: just type top on the command line
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Yoritomo: it's a terminal command
[19:32] <mwen____> with putty
[19:32] <jozefk> mwen____, run another putty and that's it
[19:32] <sjm> mwen____: open various putty windows?
[19:32] <cousteau> ActionParsnip: what do you mean?
[19:32] <mwen____> ok
[19:32] <Pici> !screen | mwen____
[19:32] <abhi_> guys are the bug tracking for 10.04 is closed or what .. i m not able to submit new bugs ...
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> mwen___: you can have 6 by default. I. Believe
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Cousteau: using no addons makes firefox lighter
[19:32] <stenchmaster> yoritomo: or vmstat will give you good on the overal sys state, try this on the command line(no quotes): vmstat -2
[19:33] <mwen____> do i have to login normaly to be root?
[19:33] <Pici> abhi_: You should be able to log bugs still.
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Mwen___: you are never root. Use sudo
[19:33] <jozefk> login normaly and don't be root

[19:34] <prodigel> hi all. Anyone generated a csr file? I'm doing this for the first time and I get this 'CSR signature invalid/ unable to decode csr data. Key size may be too large' errors. If someone has a hint about it please help :D
[19:34] <cousteau> at least when you browse pages with annoying resource-eating ads and the like
[19:34] <ronjeremy69> !info unrar-free
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Cousteau: using a lighter. Browser is good too. Firefox is sloooooow
[19:34] <ubutom> mwen____, define normaly
[19:34] <jozefk> mwen____, yes and then use sudo when you want to run or do something as root
[19:34] <mwen____> ok.
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Peace out kids. Time to make the money
[19:35] <profxavier> when I ssh into my Ubuntu machine, I see the following: "116 packages can be updated.
[19:35] <profxavier> 10 updates are security updates.", when I run sudo aptitude update, I get an error and then I am asked to run apt-get update, which I do
[19:35] <sjm> mwen____: must?  this is linux, you can do what you like, but it's better to login normally.
[19:35] <profxavier> no packages get updated....
[19:35] <Pici> profxavier: What error are you getting?
[19:35] <abuayyoub> hi, is there anyone here who knows anything about a program called NZBget?
[19:35] <Pici> !anyone | abuayyoub
[19:35] <cousteau> profxavier: the error message would be helpful
[19:35] <mwen____> sjm: there's an other way?
[19:36] <ubutom> profxavier, i believe it's upgrade you want to do
[19:36] <wise_crypt> profxavier: sudo apt-get update
[19:36] <jozefk> mwen____, no other way
[19:36] <sjm> profxavier: it might be key errors?
[19:36] <frxstrem> I recently installed Windows XP, and then booted up with my LiveCD and fixed GRUB, but now GRUB won't work and it doesn't display any options? how can I make it able to choose between Ubuntu and Windows?
[19:36] <mwen____> can i get sound when someone answer me? i use irssi.
[19:37] <h00k> abuayyoub: in a quick search, I found http://nzbget.sourceforge.net/Command_line_reference
[19:37] <ubutom> profxavier, update command only updates the package index
[19:37] <iceroot> mwen____: irssi.org  look at the notify-plugin
[19:37] <sjm> mwen____: check on giving root a password or getting key authentication to work.

[19:37] <malchias> how does "screen" work exactly?   I have it installed, but do not understand how to login via ssh, disconnect, go to another computer and take over teh ssh session
[19:37] <mwen____> sjm: how?
[19:37] <cpbtklogic> Argh...  anyone skilled with ufw?
[19:37] <abuayyoub> h00k, yea i seen this site.
[19:37] <cpbtklogic> I want to allow access to a range of ports (tcp) to a subnet.
[19:38] <h00k> malchias: This might help: http://jmcpherson.org/screen.html
[19:38] <abuayyoub> i read all threw it dosen't answer my problem if it did I wouldn't be here.
[19:38] <h00k> malchias: I've used it to grab the basics
[19:38] <Oer> profxavier, getdeb is down, for some days now
[19:38] <profxavier> Pici, after looking at sources.list, I see I have commented out the line pertaining to that
[19:38] <frxstrem> how can I add Windows as an option to the GRUB bootloader?
[19:38] <profxavier> ill try sudo apt-get update now, and post any error
[19:38] <ubuntumom> No clue what I'm doing, but this is what happened:  I installed updates.  I restarted the computer and now I am getting an error that says "target filesystem doesn't have sbin init"
[19:38] <malchias> Thank you - reading it
[19:38] <iceroot> malchias: you run screen on a terminal, if you close the terminal, screen is still running with that you have done inside the screen session, that is a big advantge from screen, another killer-feuatre is the "tabbed browsing" with differten screen,session
[19:38] <cpbtklogic> sudo ufw allow from <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[19:38] <cpbtklogic> works
[19:39] <Pici> profxavier: Sounds good
[19:39] <iceroot> malchias: its like tabbed browsing iin firefox
[19:39] <jozefk> frxstrem, maybe like this http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/
[19:39] <Matson> what could have created these two files?  /lib/modules/2.6.28-18-server/volatile/.mounted /lib/init/rw/.ramfs ?
[19:39] <h00k> abuayyoub: and nzbget doesn't appear to be in the repositories, so your best bet is to get help from their documentation/support
[19:39] <cpbtklogic> sudo ufw allow from <IP_ADDRESS>/24 to tcp port 8000:8100
[19:39] <ubutom> profxavier, if you want to upgrade the packages use sudo apt get upgrade
[19:39] <cpbtklogic> Bad destination.
[19:39] <sjm> mwen____: I haven't done it, but you could log in normally and switch to root.
[19:39] <frxstrem> jozefk: isn't that for Vista (I use XP)?
[19:39] <profxavier> # is for comments, in sources.list, correct ?
[19:39] <cpbtklogic> Hmmm...  I is confuzled.
[19:39] <iceroot> profxavier: yes
[19:39] <Pici> profxavier: correct.
[19:39] <jozefk> frxstrem, still it could be helpful :)
[19:39] <abuayyoub> h00k the problem is there is all this info but nothing telling you how to actually use the program
[19:39] <mwen____> thanks! all
[19:39] <Matson> Chkrootkit finds these two files and flags them as suspicious.
[19:40] <frxstrem> jozefk: well, I'll have a look at it
[19:40] <abuayyoub> nowhere does it tell you, this is how you start the program, this is how you load an NZB etc/
[19:40] <malchias> I use secure crt from windows boxes to manage the debian servers, but sometimes I get a network time out and it disconnects my ssh session (but it's still running).    Looking for a way to relog and reacquire that same session
[19:40] <profxavier> guess I must have that site referenced twice in sources.list or something?
[19:40] <caleb_> I have a mac external HD that has a backup file on it.  I can read the backup files by accessing them through gksudo nautilus and browsing to the folder.  It errors saying I do not have permissions when I move them to my /home.  I cannot seem to sudo chown the folders, says its read only.  Any suggestions?
[19:40] <profxavier> weird, I do not
[19:40] <yoritomo> Xorg take 36% of the cpu already and when i launch virtualbox it takes already 56%  then still almost nothing for ubuntu
[19:41] <h00k> abuayyoub: it's a command line program, that shows you all of the switches and explains them
[19:41] <ikonia> caleb_: you need write permissions to "move" a file from a device, you need read to copy it from a device
[19:41] <yoritomo> why Xorg eats so much ?
[19:41] <iceroot> malchias: and the third killer feature from screen is that you can share a terminal with others,  so people can connect to your screen-session and see what you are doing for are able to work on the screen session, so screen is the most usefull tool around in the open-source world

[19:41] <ubuntu_> HI! I am on ubuntu live cd, the root file system appears to be some sort of ram disk
[19:41] <profxavier> shouldnt running apt-get update and aptitude update not read that line then? as its comments ?
[19:41] <iceroot> yoritomo: sounds like compiz
[19:41] <ubuntu_> is there any way i can increase it's size?

[19:41] <niko-nojo> Hi room - anyone here got oracle sql developer installed on ubuntu lucid lynx. I'm getting this error when running. A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: I think its java path related
[19:41] <Emil> installed newest ubuntu on vmware (not using unity). keyboard layout doesnt work for norwegian. seems like its still set for usa. this worked on ubuntu 9 though. anybody else had a problem with this?
[19:41] <profxavier> why would I be getting an error from that getdeb site ?
[19:42] <iceroot> ubuntu_: buying more ram
[19:42] <Pici> profxavier: apt-get also checks for files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[19:42] <ubuntumom> Any assistance would be appreciated.  I installed updates.  I restarted the computer and now I am getting an error that says "target filesystem doesn't have sbin init"
[19:42] <cousteau> ubuntu_: hmm... adding more ram to your PC?
[19:42] <ubuntu_> iceroot: does it then use as much ram as it thinks is sane on it's own?
[19:42] <malchias> iceroot: that sounds like what I need.
[19:42] <caleb_> ikonia: how do I create those permissions? it says I do not have permissions to read it when I paste it to my /home folder from gksudo nautilus
[19:42] <profxavier> Pici, ok, I see that d in there
[19:43]  * ubuntu_ thought it must be capped because when he tried to apt-get update from all the sources it started running out of space
[19:43] <profxavier> so just ignore the errors, from this point forward?
[19:43] <yoritomo> ActionParsnip> <stenchmaster> how comes Xorg takes so much cpu is it something wrong ?
[19:43] <cousteau> ubuntu_: it uses all the RAM on your PC
[19:43] <ubuntu_> and i have 1.5 gig of ra,
[19:43] <cousteau> (or almost)
[19:43] <ubuntu_> cousteau: fair play
[19:43] <iceroot> malchias: also have a look at google for a good .screenrc to have a nice tab-view
[19:43] <Emil> anybody? :/ help me
[19:43]  * ubuntu_ changes to xfce or something :)
[19:43] <ikonia> caleb_: copy and paste - not cut and paste
[19:43] <PrototypeX29A> With Thunderbird i tried to turn off automatic fetching of emails from my IMap account, the obvious choice unchecking the "[ ] Check messages every 10 minutes" did not have any effect. Any Ideas?
[19:43] <caleb_> ikonia: that was from copy and paste
[19:43] <Pupeno> Can I install ubuntu from a usb memory?
[19:43] <ubuntu_> thanks for your advice guys
[19:44] <cousteau> ubuntu_: if you begin downloading and installing packages/updates you'll quickly run out of memory
[19:44] <iceroot> !usb | Pupeno
[19:44] <sjm> PrototypeX29A, did you restart thunderbird?
[19:44] <ikonia> caleb_: then you either don't have read permissions on the device, or no write permissions on the write device
[19:44] <PrototypeX29A> sjm: yes
[19:44] <Slart> PrototypeX29A: there is another switch for checking mail when thunderbird starts.. that's not the one doing it?
[19:44] <markf> PrototypeX29A: It's probably using IMAP Idle.  the server can send you messages when it gets anything new
[19:44] <ubuntu_> cousteau: i could install xfce and remove gnome to get a few more nice things though?
[19:44] <ubuntu_> like vim
[19:44] <Pici> profxavier: Thats not what I said.  Look at the conf files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ , maybe one of them contains the line that is causing your error.
[19:44]  * ubuntu_ misses vim
[19:44] <ubuntu_> and isn't there and apt-cache somewhere?
[19:44] <cousteau> ubuntu_: isn't vim installed by default? or at least the vi-compatible one
[19:44] <PrototypeX29A> Slart: that one is supposed to do it one time only, isn't it?
[19:44] <iceroot> ubuntu_: what about using a real installation?
[19:45] <profxavier> Pici, that is a d, and in it, there is getdeb.list (a file
[19:45] <ubuntu_> iceroot: :)
[19:45] <cousteau> ubuntu_: well, you could try cleaning the apt cache
[19:45] <iceroot> cousteau: only the bad vi is installed, not the powerfull vim
[19:45] <caleb_> ikonia: ok, how do I create those permissions? the original user account that created/mod'ed the files is gone. the macosx that contained it was reinstalled, replacing the original account and it no longer exists
[19:45] <rig0rmortis> I am having some issues using apt behind an ISP proxy. In short, when downloading updates (or new packages) using apt, the downloads sometimes go very slowly, and often timeout. Many of the downloads that do come down fail with a "Hash sum mismatch" error. Does anyone have any ideas about how I might work around this?
[19:45] <profxavier> which contains: "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps"
[19:45] <PrototypeX29A> markf: where can i turn that off?
[19:45] <Pici> profxavier: Then you can either delete it or wait until getdeb.net is back up.
[19:45] <cousteau> ubuntu_: sudo apt-get clean, I think
[19:45] <Slart> PrototypeX29A: as far as I know, yes..  I would check what markf said as well.. the IDLE thing might be what's doing it
[19:45] <profxavier> Pici, ok, thanks
[19:45] <ikonia> caleb_: I'd look at the target device permissions first, what is the target device ?
[19:46] <malchias> iceroot: works perfectly, thank you
[19:46] <PrototypeX29A> Slart: where can i turn that off?
[19:46] <cousteau> rig0rmortis: I've had hash sum mismatches when trying to install from a bad wifi
[19:46] <Pupeno> Any idea how to make an installable usb memory stick on macosx?
[19:46] <caleb_> ikonia: any device I can put it on. this is more of restoring files after a system reinstall.  I could place it in my /home for now, but it will eventually go back to her macosx
[19:46] <Slart> PrototypeX29A: it's in the account settings.. advanced tab
[19:46] <rig0rmortis> cousteau: I'm on ethernet. This problem occurs across many of our servers at work.
[19:46] <nascentmind> hi. when i chroot i get /home/user not present. why is that?
[19:47] <cousteau> Pupeno: well, mac os is posix based, so maybe using dd
[19:47] <markf> PrototypeX29A:  I'm not sure myself, I use evolution where it's optional.  By design though it shouldn't use imap idle if you have it check a certain time period (it would be redundant for imap idle to enable as well).  You could try setting it to a very high check time?  Other than that I'm not sure
[19:47] <Whammo> can anybody tell me how to add acpi=off to my boot line?
[19:47] <ikonia> caleb_: then look at the write permissons on the device you want to write to
[19:47] <PrototypeX29A> markf: the evolution guys kind of recommended thunderbird to me
[19:48] <caleb_> ikonia: its my /home folder.  it has the standard user permissions
[19:48] <ikonia> caleb_: so check if you can write to where you want to write to
[19:48] <sjm> whammo: one time or each boot?
[19:48] <frxstrem> why doesn't the GRUB bootloader show up when I boot my computer?
[19:48] <PrototypeX29A> Slart: thanks, i will try that
[19:48] <h00k> frxstrem: you can have it by pressing leftshift
[19:49] <Whammo> sjm: both would be useful knowledge, but ultimately every time
[19:49] <h00k> frxstrem: by default, it's quiet
[19:49] <cousteau> do macs have USBs? didn't know
[19:49] <frxstrem> h00k: okay, I'll try that ... (thank's for the tip, by the way :))
[19:49] <caleb_> ikonia: I can write to it, but not copy the files from the external to it.  its basically saying that the user "me" cannot read the files that root is transfering from (external)
[19:49] <h00k> frxstrem: :)
[19:49] <sjm> whammo: to try it once edit the grub boot line adding that at the end of the kernel line.
[19:50] <caleb_> ikonia: I can copy them to my /home/root folder
[19:50] <ikonia> caleb_: what ???? you
[19:50] <sjm> whammo: every time: I'd say edit grub's menu.lst file, but that's grub 1.5 and not grub2.
[19:50] <ikonia> caleb_: ok - so what's the problem, they have copied off the external drive, problem solved
[19:50] <sjm> whammo, someone else can maybe help with grub2 settings.
[19:50] <caleb_> ikonia: I cant read them as "me" only as "root"
[19:50] <alabd> Good day all ,can we have ubuntu cloud with server edition only ?
[19:51] <Libertine> no
[19:51] <ikonia> caleb_: so change the permissions on them
[19:51] <ikonia> alabd: depends what you mean by "have the cloud"
[19:51] <bhawna> hi, my /etc/fstab loads the d drive but I can not write into the drive , any help?
[19:51] <Whammo> sjm: ok, so hold shift when starting, hit e to edit grub command and add to second to last line?
[19:51] <erUSUL> !grub2 | sjm
[19:51] <sjm> whammo, not sure which line it is, but the one that has the kernel line.
[19:52] <cousteau> bhawna: paste your /etc/fstab on paste.ubuntu.com and highlight which one is the d drive
[19:52] <sjm> !grub2 | whammo
[19:52] <henriquelm> How can I start the LDAP and Samba services?
[19:52] <ikonia> henriquelm: run the init scripts in /etc/init.d
[19:52] <alabd> ikonia:  cpuld computing
[19:53] <ikonia> alabd: I know what it is
[19:53] <yoritomo> ActionParsnip may my system overload comes from the fact it has a swap of 2GB for 1,5Gb ram ?
[19:53] <abhi_> sean_, are u there?
[19:53] <Whammo> sjm:ok thanks i think i get it. grub2 is not that new, but I'm a perma-noob
[19:53] <bhawna> cousteau: here it is -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/446254/
[19:53] <PrototypeX29A> btw. what was the reason for evolution becoming the standard mail program of ubuntu, the whole looks project like poor software engineering to me
[19:53] <alabd> so what ? ikonia ?
[19:54] <sjm> whammo, grub2 is new to me.  I haven't really used it.  still on 1.5
[19:54] <henriquelm> ikonia, "/etc/init.d/slapd start" I get this: "No configuration directory was found for slapd at /etc/ldap/slapd.d/"
[19:54] <Slart> PrototypeX29A: it's been that way for a while.. not sure if it's a gnome thing or an ubuntu thing
[19:54] <ikonia> henriquelm: so create one
[19:54] <bhawna> cousteau: /media/sda5 is d drive
[19:54] <alabd> mean only we can setup a cloud computing on server edition or not ?
[19:54] <Slart> PrototypeX29A: it might have been because evolution has some microsoft exchange capabilities as well
[19:55] <PrototypeX29A> Slart: what is an "ubuntu thing"?
[19:55] <cousteau> bhawna: I have a FAT32 drive and the options line is "utf8,umask=000,fmask=111,gid=46,shortname=mixed"
[19:55] <henriquelm> ikonia, how? I don't have a clue what a configuration directory is.
[19:55] <ikonia> henriquelm: it's just a directory that contains the configuration files
[19:55] <cousteau> dunno which of them are included in the current one
[19:55] <Slart> PrototypeX29A: an ubuntu thing is something the ubuntu people have decided on.. a gnome thing is something the gnome people have decided
