[17:58]  * arvind_khadri blushes
[17:58] <Jan|> so when I install ubuntu I get to this black screen that says "(initramfs)", how do I install ubuntu in graphical mode ?
[17:58] <nocive> [tv]: I would suggest creating a new user and see if that behaviour persists. It must be some kind of messed up configuration file in the user home dir..
[17:58] <nixnoob> x3: works fine for me
[17:58] <jay4> I would like to know what script runs on resume from hibernation
[17:58] <x3> nix noob you have intel or amd platform
[17:58] <arvind_khadri> Jan|, use a livecd to install :)
[17:59] <joe_> does linux have a program like dvd shrink???
[17:59] <[tv]> nocive: ill probably just end up completely reinstalling the OS sometime soon, i reinstall about every month or so just to keep it new-ish, if you know what i mean

[17:59] <x3> DO a search on synaptic its there
[18:00] <joe_> u sure x3?

[18:12] <koops>  hi people... Im into a doubt... I have an intel centrino duo and my question is what type of system should i dowlonad, 32bits or 64bits, couldsomeone explain to me whats all that about?
[18:12] <nocive> 32bits
[18:12] <b0GGdy> koops: 32
[18:12] <squarebracket> if #include<linux/config.h> is saying it can't find config.h, what might the problem be?
[18:12] <arvind_khadri> squarebracket, what exactly are you doing...why do you want a driver?
[18:12] <koops> why?
[18:12] <soundray> stmartin: no, but I'd look in System-Preferences-Keyboard if I had this problem
[18:13] <squarebracket> arvind_khadri: i'm trying to compile an intel 536ep driver so i can use my linux box as an answering machine
[18:13] <DRebellion> squarebracket, perhaps you need to install linux-headers?
[18:13] <stmartin> I looked, and seems like if I change something, it turns back again
[18:13] <b0GGdy> now, anyone has any idea why do I have no sound after the computer wakes up from hibernate?
[18:13] <DRebellion> !info linux-headers | squarebracket
[18:13] <arvind_khadri> squarebracket, you need build-essential
[18:13] <DRebellion> =/
[18:13]  * squarebracket has linux-headers, build-essential
[18:13] <squarebracket> OH
[18:13] <squarebracket> what?
[18:13] <soundray> koops: get amd64 if you want the last drop of performance. Get i386 (32bit) if you want a slightly easier life
[18:13] <b0GGdy> koops: your CPU is built on 32-bit
[18:13] <socketbind> hi, i'm having serious problems when i download from the ppas. apt starts to download, the speed starts to fall then it is totally 'clogged'.

[18:14] <b0GGdy> soundray: what do you mean?
[18:14] <squarebracket> :)
[18:14] <DRebellion> squarebracket, that's odd, because it *does* exist
[18:14] <soundray> stmartin: please use my nick if you're talking to me. Give more detail about your problem.
 so anyone have an idea why My printer Epson R300 cannot read a 2GB card in ubuntu please anyone help me out here
[18:14] <soundray> b0GGdy: centrino duo = 64bit platform

[18:15] <mahesh> tell me how to install debian package tat i have
[18:15] <arvind_khadri> !apt
[18:15] <arvind_khadri> !apt | mahesh
[18:15] <soundray> mahesh: don't install debian packages, it's a recipe for disaster
[18:16] <lorglas> hello, please look at www.globe-location.com
[18:16] <arvind_khadri> soundray, he might have meant a .deb :P
[18:16] <x3> mahesh be carefull what you install
[18:16] <mahesh> soundray: see friends i need to install skype but i cant get it via the apt-get
[18:16] <squarebracket> arg, still not finding linux/config.h
[18:16] <soundray> mahesh: you can
[18:16] <x3> not every deb package is that bad
[18:16] <stmartin> soundray: I press Alt+Shift and my LED of Scroll Lock lights up. I tried in System --> Preferences --> Keyboard ---> Layout ---> Layout Options, I decheck ScrollLock LED shows alternative layout. Also I decheck Alt+Shift change layout, and when I click Close, the options are the same as before.
[18:16] <soundray> !medibuntu | mahesh
[18:17] <regeya> indeed; although ubuntu uses .debs and is debian derived it is not all that compatible these days
[18:17] <Pici> lorglas: Please don't do that.
[18:17] <arvind_khadri> squarebracket, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[18:17] <lorglas> ok
[18:17] <b0GGdy> soundray: as far as I know, only Centrino 2 Dou is on 64
[18:17] <x3> in fact xchat 2.8.6 is ok so is quite a few others
[18:17] <squarebracket> arvind_khadri: ya, i did (i thought i had it installed but i didn't). it didn't fix it.
[18:17] <mahesh> soundray: so its like the repos
[18:17] <arvind_khadri> regeya, O.o
[18:17] <x3> [b]so anyone have an idea why My printer Epson R300 cannot read a 2GB card in ubuntu please anyone help me out here[/b]
[18:18] <arvind_khadri> squarebracket, just hang on ...
[18:18] <x3> anyone have a epason R300 that can help??
[18:18] <soundray> mahesh: medibuntu is a 3rd party repository. You can install skype from there with apt-get or synaptic like you would any other program
[18:18] <mahesh> i could'nt find it
[18:19] <boringcl2222> where on EARTH is firefox install path located when i apt install it? its not in /usr/lib/mozilla

[18:19] <squarebracket> !medibuntu
[18:19] <doktoreas> where shoul I set proxy for using with apt-get
[18:19] <doktoreas> ?
[18:20] <soundray> b0GGdy: I'm sorry, you're right, there was an Intel dual-core that didn't have 64bit support. But I doubt that it's what he has -- it wasn't sold that often
[18:20] <mahesh> soundray: ok so how to install skype then
[18:20] <arvind_khadri> squarebracket, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[18:20] <soundray> mahesh: enable the medibuntu repository and 'sudo apt-get install skype'
[18:20] <squarebracket> arvind_khadri: i have the linux headers
[18:20] <koops> mahesh, ill pass u the rep wait a sec
[18:21] <soundray> koops: he's had it twice already
[18:21] <arvind_khadri> squarebracket, that should have config.h then
[18:21] <b0GGdy> soundray: i have a problem with my sound. because it's part of your nickname, maybe you can help me
[18:21] <SidStudios> Can anyone tell me what is the package name for the "images" module in Python in Ubuntu?
[18:21] <squarebracket> arvind_khadri: my point exactly :(
[18:21] <koops> soundray, so? whats the problem
[18:21] <mahesh> koops:: ok
[18:21] <soundray> koops: can you tell us exactly what CPU you have, to clarify what I was discussing with b0GGdy
[18:22] <squarebracket> arvind_khadri: it has no problem finding the other linux/x.h files, just config
[18:22] <socketbind> SidStudios: i think you mean python-imaging
[18:22] <soundray> koops: feel free to have a go at convincing mahesh, coz I can't seem to
[18:22] <stmartin> soundray: any solution for my prob.?  Can u reproduce it on ur PC?
[18:22] <soundray> stmartin: no, sorry
[18:22] <arvind_khadri> squarebracket, meanwhile ask #ubuntu-motu... they will know for sure :)
[18:22] <SidStudios> socketbind: Will that resolve python not being able to find the module "images"?
[18:22] <stmartin> soundray: ok, thanks anyway
[18:22] <koops> mahesh, deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free  you have to do gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst add that line then sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install skype
[18:23] <soundray> b0GGdy: my nickname goes back to a time when I did medical ultrasound research. What's your sound problem, anyway?
[18:23] <squarebracket> arvind_khadri, channel is empty?
[18:23] <socketbind> SidStudios: nope it will not

[18:23] <b0GGdy> soundray: every time my computer wakes up from hibernating, I have no sound
[18:24] <soundray> b0GGdy: it's not an eeepc by any chance?

[18:27] <Servarium> :\
[18:27] <arvind_khadri> Servarium, its a support channel
[18:27] <soundray> Servarium: this channel is not for surveys
[18:27] <Servarium> i think we can make that 0 here too
[18:28] <Servarium> well indirectly its connected to giving support
[18:28] <koops> mahesh, if u add the repo into sources.lst its easier and will have updates when they are available
[18:28] <RequinB4> Servarium - go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:28] <Servarium> then you know the odds
[18:28] <arvind_khadri> squarebracket, scary reply :D

[18:28] <Be0wulf62381> any one know what would stop NX from connecting when ssl tunnel is enabled, but let it work fine when tunnel mode is disabled?
[18:29] <soundray> b0GGdy: if you edit MODULES="" in /etc/default/acpi-support to read MODULES="snd" it will unload the driver before hibernate/suspend and reload it on resume
[18:29] <koops> mahesh, mmm i have it and its working
[18:29] <Sario27> can someone that is free msg me to help me
[18:29] <beneDaemon> help you with what?

[18:30] <koops> mahesh, i always have problems with medibuntu repos some times you can read it and sometimes cant, i dont know why
[18:30] <x3> not #mediabuntu
[18:31] <mahesh> koops:: ok
[18:31] <soundray> x3: don't jump into a conversation unless you grasp the context
[18:31] <doktoreas> is it possible that my network admin has blocked flash streaming?
[18:31] <Gillpy_> Hallo
[18:31] <b0GGdy> soundray: shouldn't be MODULES_WHITELIST?
[18:31] <x3> soundray dont be so hostile kthx
[18:31] <soundray> b0GGdy: no
[18:31] <RequinB4> will a portable VM + a image ISO persistantly save user changes across multiple host OS's?
[18:32] <soundray> x3: sorry, didn't mean to come across as hostile
[18:32] <b0GGdy> soundray: when I try to save, I get this:
[18:32] <b0GGdy> You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again
[18:32] <x3> soundray thats the second time today you jumped down my throat
[18:32] <soundray> b0GGdy: open it with 'gksudo gedit /etc/default/acpi-support'
[18:33] <soundray> x3: no, I haven't talked to you before
[18:33] <Be0wulf62381> only if you are storeing the virtual hdd some where. otherwise it will just boot the unchanged iso again
[18:33] <x3> indeed you have sir but lets not split hairs
[18:33] <x3> [b]so anyone have an idea why My printer Epson R300 cannot read a 2GB card in ubuntu please anyone help me out here[/b]
[18:33] <b0GGdy> soundray: let me try a hibernate
[18:33] <soundray> x3: mind if I pm you?
[18:33] <soundray> b0GGdy: hold on
[18:34] <RequinB4> Be0wulf62381: So basically just makes sure the virtual hdd is in the portable device?  Sweet.
[18:34] <x3> soundray go right ahead
[18:34] <soundray> b0GGdy: you have to 'sudo invoke-rc.d acpi-support restart' to invoke the new setting
[18:34] <Be0wulf62381> ya that sould work
[18:34] <Ahadiel> x3, That sounds like an issue with your printer rather than Ubuntu. (Assuming you pu the card INTO the printer?)
[18:34] <rdz> hi all. what is the standard ubuntu way to format a disk?
[18:35] <RequinB4> !gparted | rdz
[18:35] <slicky> ./ubuntuformat.sh
[18:35] <Be0wulf62381> what VM technology are you using?
[18:35] <rdz> RequinB4, thanks. i knew gparted, but it is not installed by default. does that mean, there is no partitioning/formatting tool preinstalled?
[18:36] <smaila> RequinB4  fdisk :P
[18:36] <Be0wulf62381> fdisk /dev/(the drive)
[18:36] <Gillpy_> rdz: cfdisk for ncursors interface
[18:36] <RequinB4> Be0wulf62381: At this point it's just an idea, actually,  i want to basically create an ubuntu external thumb drive that will operate inside the host OS (as opposed to having to have BIOS access to boot from the drive)
[18:37] <Jan|> ok so I can't get to graphic install even in safe graphic mode
[18:37] <scrutr> hello, im running Hardy in a virtual machine (VM Player)
[18:37] <b0GGdy> soundray: I'll try that, too
[18:37] <ndumac> join #security
[18:37] <scrutr> I've shared some files on my host OS (windows) and would like to access them over the network
[18:37] <ndumac> whoops
[18:37] <scrutr> but i dont know what to do next
[18:38] <Gillpy_> rdz: but those tools only alter partition table, they dont format
[18:38] <ndumac> begin unhelpful comment
[18:38] <ndumac> scrutr: delete windows partition next step
[18:38] <Be0wulf62381> like wubi but using the thumb drive insted of hdd? or some thing more like vmware?

[18:39] <scrutr> ill be switching to hardy as soon as i figure out how to do the stuff right
[18:39] <Flannel> ndumac: Please don't.  Kidding is dangerous in a support IRC channel.
[18:39] <scrutr> thats why im running a virtual machine
[18:39] <RequinB4> RequinB4: Yep, it's a lot prettier :).  I actually recommend the Gparted liveCD, a dead horse could work on that
[18:39] <ndumac> Jan|: have you run the live CD ?
[18:39] <RequinB4> rdz: see above :P
[18:39] <ndumac> Flannel: i'm sorry
[18:40] <Jan|> ndumac, yes the ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[18:40] <Jan|> .. is what I burned
[18:40] <ndumac> Jan|: and it doesn't work?
[18:41] <Jan|> nope
[18:41] <x3> Jan MAD machine
[18:41] <ndumac> what doesn't work
[18:41] <x3> sorry amd
[18:41] <ndumac> it doesn't boot to Live ?
[18:41] <b0GGdy> soundray: still no sound
[18:41] <scrutr> what is a .pl file, anyone?
[18:41] <Jan|> yeah I don't see the desktop at all
[18:41] <Be0wulf62381> I have NX server installed and if i dissable encrypted tunnel mode it works fine, but if I leave tunnel mode on (Default) it just waits to connect to an X session on <IP_ADDRESS>. any one know how i might get this working?
[18:42] <nocive> scrutr: perl script file
[18:42] <soundray> b0GGdy: have you been through the troubleshooting factoids?
[18:42] <x3> Jan is it a AMD processor base d machine or is it a intekl
[18:42] <soundray> !sound > b0GGdy
[18:42] <Jan|> x3, AMD
[18:42] <scrutr> how do i run it under ubuntu?
[18:42] <b0GGdy> !sound
[18:42] <nocive> scrutr: perl filename.pl
[18:42] <Ahadiel> scrutr, Generally perl blah.pl
[18:42] <scrutr> oh
[18:42] <soundray> Jan|: have you tried the Safe Graphics boot menu entry?
[18:42] <scrutr> cool
[18:42] <nocive> scrutr: or make it executable with chmod +x and simply run ./filename.pl
[18:42] <Jan|> soundray, yes it doesn't work either
[18:43] <soundray> Jan|: what about the alternate CD?
[18:43] <Jan|> soundray I dont want to install in text mode
[18:43] <ahorner> Does anybody know if/how I can set up a wireless access point somehow with a usb dongle in ubuntu?
[18:44] <soundray> Jan|: why not? It's essentially the same
[18:44] <b0GGdy> soundray: ALSA is selected
[18:45] <Jan|> soundray but how could I get it to show a desktop then ?
[18:45] <bagga> hi
[18:45] <scrutr> what directory on hardy contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
[18:45] <Jan|> after the install
[18:46] <soundray> Jan|: once it's installed, it'll either boot to a desktop or let you choose a driver for your setup
[18:46] <Sario27> in appearance settings> visual effects when i try to click on normal it gives me a "Desktop Effects could not be enabled" any suggestions
[18:47] <Jan|> soundray ok
[18:47] <Jan|> so whats the command ive got to type to install with the alternate version?
[18:47] <legend2440> scrutr: /etc
[18:47] <nocive> ahorner: i don't think u can do that with any normal dongle. see this guide http://martybugs.net/wireless/router.cgi
[18:48] <soundray> Jan|: you just boot it, make a selection from the boot menu and follow the wizard
[18:48] <scrutr> how about this one: "what is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?"
[18:48] <ahorner> nocive: well i had this thing before, it was a dongle i bought at walmart that had the chipset apparently to be an access point but I don't know how to get it working in linux.
[18:49] <bodhi2016> Guys can you please tell me how to view man pages.I a new user of linux
[18:49] <Sario27> any1?
[18:49] <Pici> bodhi2016: In a terminal, type man command
[18:49] <Pici> bodhi2016: where command is the name of a command
[18:49] <nocive> ahorner: check the chipset of the dongle and see if it is supported under linux
[18:49] <Pici> !man | bodhi2016
[18:50] <raven79> how can i substitute gedit with another editor? for example kate? (i can't from System->Preferences->Favourite Applications)
[18:50] <ahorner> nocive: the problem is I cant find that dongle at the moment but I have a netgear wifi usb adapter and i want to see if i can get it working with that. someone on forums suggested firestarter
[18:50] <SidStudios> Can someone tell me how in Ubuntu I would get the command "lsl" to show the output of "ls -o" ? I know it has something to do with aliases but I cannot figure out which file to edit and how
[18:51] <nocive> ahorner: that's a firewall, it can act as a router yes
[18:51] <legend2440> scrutr: /usr/src
[18:51] <nocive> ahorner: i would suggest shorewall, but it has no GUI, it's based on configuration text files
[18:51] <Gillpy_> SidStudios: alias lsl='ls -o'
[18:51] <SidStudios> Gillpy_: Where would I put that?
[18:51] <raven79> SidStudios: put into your .bashrc alias lsl='ls -o'
[18:52] <SidStudios> Ok
[18:52] <raven79> as Gillpy_ told :)
[18:53] <raven79> where i can chenge system favourite applications like editors?
[18:53] <scrutr> ok
[18:53] <scrutr> what is the command for copy?
[18:54] <scrutr> (terminal?)
[18:54] <raven79> scrutr: cp
[18:54] <ejer> cp scrutr
[18:54] <scrutr> ok thanks
[18:54] <Gillpy_> raven79: /etc/alternatives I think
[18:54] <raven79> Gillpy_: thanks
[18:55] <nocive> raven79: sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[18:55] <raven79> nocive: thanks
[18:55] <MolePrince> Hello.  I have installed the radeonhd driver package for xserver-xorg, and the X log shows it loading but lsmod does not show it loaded nor does glxinfo show accelleration enabled.
[18:55] <nocive> raven79: np, i just googled for that. u should try the same next time :P
[18:56] <raven79> no nocive
[18:56] <raven79> as first i googled like you
[18:56] <raven79> secondly it does not change gedit but textual editor
[18:57] <nocive> raven79: try right-clicking on a text file in Nautilus and choose "Properties" and changing the default preferred program there
[18:57] <raven79> nocive: ah ok
[18:57] <scrutr> gah this is annoying
[18:58] <Buzzons> why does it take so long for ubuntu to boot? it gets to grub -- passes grub , sits there for about 15 mins with a flashing cursor before giving me a login screen
[18:58] <scrutr> has anyone had any level of success installing vmware tools on ubuntu?
[18:58] <Buzzons> on a p4 2.4ghz /1gb ram box.. surely it shouldn't take that long
[18:58] <Sario27> is there anything i need to do in order to get the rotation cube working?
[18:59] <Sario27> anyone?

[19:03] <SidStudios> Why does Linux qualify as *NIX when the last three letters aren't N, I, and X?
[19:03] <Khisanth> Lunix :P
[19:03] <ahorner> SidStudios: Unix
[19:03] <raven79> UNIX family
[19:03] <sjakelot> got a problem with audio, i can watch video with sound with vlc, but when i press pauze and i go to youtube, i get video, but no audio
[19:04] <meep-meep> !sound | sjakelot
[19:04] <SidStudios> ahorner: I know but if you used lets say regex to match *NIX, Linux wouldn't come up :p
[19:04] <ahorner> :-p
[19:05] <SidStudios> Unix sounds like some sort of robot though, but anyways, I'm going offtopic
[19:05] <nocive> linus + unix = linux
[19:05] <nocive> XD
[19:05] <squarebracket> SidStudios: phonetically?
[19:05] <Khisanth> *NIX is an invalid regex anyway so that doesn't matter
[19:05] <squarebracket> haha
[19:05] <SidStudios> squarebracket: Yeah, it reminds me of gears
[19:06] <SidStudios> Khisanth: Meh, I don't know regex :-p
[19:06] <ahorner> what is terminal comand to make a folder

[19:06] <legend2440> Buzzons: install startupmanager in synaptic if its not already then open system>admin>startup manager and click box for  Show text on boot. you should be able to see where its hanging
[19:07] <Sario27> is there a graphics requirement for compiz fusion
[19:07] <ahorner> now what is terminal to delete a directory?
[19:07] <Khisanth> SidStudios: .?(uni|inu)x$ is too cumbersome to say
[19:07] <meep-meep> ahorner: rmdir
[19:07] <ahorner> thanks
[19:07] <ahorner> lol
[19:08] <meep-meep> ahorner: unless it has stuff in it >>>   rm -r
[19:08] <ahorner> meep-meep: you might know whats wrong here.
[19:08] <Sario27> hello?
[19:08] <hateball> ahorner: or rmdir
[19:08] <raven79> ahorner: you should look at all commands into coreutils...it should be usefull...
[19:08] <ahorner> ehh.
[19:09] <meep-meep> meep
[19:09] <squarebracket> .?[a-zA-Z]*n[i|u]x$ maybe?

[19:10] <MolePrince> Hello.  I have installed the radeonhd driver package for xserver-xorg, and the X log shows it loading but lsmod does not show it loaded nor does glxinfo show accelleration enabled.  Ideas please?
[19:10] <sjakelot> i just can get audio from one source, not multiple, what should i do?
[19:10] <SidStudios> Sario27: What do you need?
[19:10] <raven79> Sario27: just ask ;)
[19:10] <SeveredCross> MolePrince: radeonhd is not a kernel module, so it won't show up in lsmod.
[19:10] <sjakelot> alsamixer is turned on
[19:10] <SeveredCross> RadeonHD also doesn't have acceleration yet.
[19:10] <Sario27> is there a graphics requirement for compiz fusion
[19:10] <SeveredCross> It's being worked on, but it doesn't work yet.
[19:10] <raven79> Sario27: accelerated graphic card
[19:10] <sjakelot> how do i get the 3d globe with compiz?
[19:11] <SeveredCross> MolePrince: If you want acceleration, there is a way to get it, but it requires using external repositories with git HEAD versions of lots of xorg components and git HEAD DRM modules for the kernel.
[19:11] <Sario27> i cant get the cube to work
[19:11] <SeveredCross> It's not for the faint of heart/uninitiated.
[19:11] <raven79> Sario27: check if your graphic card is supported
[19:11] <Sario27> so is it possible my graphics card is capable of it
[19:11] <Sario27> how do u check?
[19:11] <meep-meep> ahorner: what is problem ?
[19:12] <ahorner> meep-meep: i may hive figured it out.
[19:12] <raven79> do you have a recent card of ati or nvidia?

[19:17] <andare> i would like to install dvd shrink but i don't know how to cuz this is what i did get for the downloaded file dvdshrink-2.6.1-10mdk.tar.gz
[19:17] <soundray> th0r: it is wrong to swear in this channel, though
[19:17] <th0r> soundray, not all of that was pointing out background
[19:17] <andare> can anyone help me out?
[19:17] <th0r> and there was no swearing there
[19:17] <MolePrince> shishirmk: Try typing which <programname>
[19:17] <Navy1> Hey there
[19:17] <genii> shishirmk: The binaries usually to /bin or /usr/bin or /sbin or /usr/sbin the configuration files usually to /etc/appname.conf
[19:18] <meep-meep> andare: it looks like you have source tarball there
[19:18] <andyshedd> i'm getting the error "internal data stream error"
[19:18] <Navy1> why is linux inserting a route automatically?
[19:18] <soundray> th0r: fecal language is unwanted and unwarranted here
[19:18] <Navy1> I habe a default route
[19:18] <andare> i guess so
[19:18] <x3> andare in ubuntu either use wine and install dvdd shrink or use DVD95 available in synaptic
[19:18] <Navy1> and i just want to have this one
[19:18] <Navy1> no other
[19:18] <meep-meep> andare: so you will have to compile
[19:18] <andare> i have this dvdshrink-2.6.1-10mdk.tar.gz
[19:18] <genii> shishirmk: But this varies wildly according to what apps and so on. There is no Applications folder for instance as in the Windows metaphor
[19:18] <Navy1> Anyone an idea how to handle routes in Linux?
[19:18] <Bonster> try k9copy
[19:18] <shishirmk> thank you guys
[19:18] <meep-meep> andare: tar xzvf dvdshrinkblahblahblah

[19:27] <th0r> Dingsbums, you might try 'while true.....'
[19:27] <genii> bonez45: Also minimum specs met? 256Mb ram, etc etc
[19:27] <steel_lady_> how do I do that gehenna?
[19:27] <bonez45> genii: will the ubuntu disk allow me to set those specific boot parameters?
[19:27] <irihi> bah..
[19:28] <irihi> il try something..
[19:28] <Dingsbums> th0r: thank you very much. that works
[19:28] <bonez45> genii: ok, how do I check my RAM?
[19:28] <soundray> dieselz: in the simplest case, it's a matter of adding two lines: 'auto eth0' and 'iface eth0 inet dhcp'
[19:28] <andare> can anyone help me out?
[19:28] <genii> bonez45: Yes. Something like f5 or f6 at cd menu then add whatever appropriate kernel options at end of line (before the --- )
[19:28] <meep-meep> cellofellow: as root, of course
[19:28] <RequinB4> !anyone
[19:28] <lordchavez> hey dudes... got some problems with my with window decoration in compiz! all the decoration is lost when activating compiz need some help found nothing about how to fix
[19:28] <genii> bonez45: You don't know how much ram your box has ? ;)
[19:29] <dieselz> soundray: i added those lines, then ran a restart - no ip
[19:29] <gehenna> steel_lady: go to synaptic package manager
[19:29] <Sario27> so do i have do all this in that how to  in order to get the 3d cube working?
[19:29] <dieselz> soundray: and editted it to eth1, no change
[19:29] <bonez45> genii: well, I havent' looked or check that box in a while... I meant, can I check it with /proc/mem or something?
[19:29] <nocive> lordchavez: install fusion-icon, that allows u to switch between window decorators
[19:29] <Sario27> wols
[19:29] <SakuraKinomoto> i just need to disable the autiomatic starting of graphic interface in ubuntubut i need to keep the interface and launch it from console, how can i do it?
[19:29] <soundray> dieselz: any eth-related errors in dmesg output?
[19:29] <Sario27> wols_
[19:30] <lordchavez> nocive: u got the thing that i already got no decoration?
[19:30] <RequinB4> SakuraKinomoto: boot in recovery mode (second boot option in grub)
[19:30] <SakuraKinomoto> we just uninstall gdm, but i think this is not the correct way to do it
[19:30] <soundray> SakuraKinomoto: prevent X from starting at boot with 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove'
[19:30] <youtux> how can i disable my hard disk ? i'm not using it and i don't want to turn the temperature up
[19:30] <dieselz> soundray: none
[19:30] <SakuraKinomoto> yes soundray this is what i need
[19:31] <SakuraKinomoto> let me understand the command
[19:31] <bonez45> genii: looks like I have 500 mb RAM in that machine..
[19:31] <soundray> SakuraKinomoto: you'll find background information in 'man update-rc.d'
[19:31] <SakuraKinomoto> thanks :)
[19:31] <nocive> lordchavez: try running from a terminal # gtk-window-decorator --replace &
[19:31] <koops> does anyone know how to transcode videos to .smv format?
[19:31] <legend2440> youtux: unplug the power from it inside the case
[19:31] <genii> bonez45: OK. So enough to run the livecd. Likely then some idiosyncratic kernel option then
[19:32] <juan--d-_-b> screw you!!!
[19:32] <youtux> i think there must be a method
[19:32] <SakuraKinomoto> soundray: and... how can i start graphic mode from console? startx or gdm?
[19:32] <th0r> koops, don't know about .smv, but mencoder is probably where I would start
[19:32] <bonez45> geni.. ok..
[19:32] <soundray> dieselz: is there anything special about your network card?
[19:32] <koops> thanks th0r
[19:32] <dieselz> soundray: well its parallels on a mac osX system
[19:32] <Bonster> smv?
[19:32] <lordchavez> nocive: nothin habbend let me install the icon thing
[19:32] <Bonster> or wmv?
[19:33] <soundray> SakuraKinomoto: either 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start' or 'startx' (the latter starts a session only for the user who's logged in)
[19:33] <genii> bonez45: eg:  look at the kernel line which currently loads your etch and make note of the options used. Use the same options off the ubuntu livecd kernel load line
[19:33] <Silvaaar> Hello all. I'm having trouble getting PHP5 to use MySQL. I'm using Ubuntu. Did an apt-get install php5-mysql but still no help. Any thoughts?
[19:33] <dieselz> soundray: is there a way to know what command is run when you click "wired connection" on the icon in the menubar?
[19:33] <jeeves__> does anyone know how I would have locked out my shell access on port 22?
[19:34] <soundray> dieselz: normally that's just like doing a 'sudo ifup ethX'
[19:34] <genii> Silvaaar: php5-mysql might be useful
[19:34] <SakuraKinomoto> thanks soundray
[19:34] <amenado> jeeves__-> you want to prevent a specific user from using ssh to login?
[19:34] <dieselz> soundray: bingo - worked
[19:34] <dieselz> so how do i make that happen on startup?
[19:34] <soundray> dieselz: normally that's what 'auto eth0' is for
[19:34] <genii> Silvaaar: Are you using it from command line php or php in a web page?
[19:35] <ompaul> jeeves__, did you start a firewall?
[19:35] <dieselz> soundray: i'll try restarting and see if that worked
[19:35] <jeeves__> amenado, naaa, I was playing with LDAP a few days ago, and when I sent to log into the server, I'm getting "conenction refused".  then when I log in with Webmin, I'm being told that the SSH server isn't installed
[19:35] <youtux> how can i disable my hard disk ? i'm not using it and i don't want to turn the temperature up
[19:35] <soundray> dieselz: it may be a timing issue -- OS X is NATing for you, isn't it?
[19:35] <Lunar_Lamp> !kde
[19:35] <Lunar_Lamp> !kde4
[19:35] <amenado> jeeves__-> so if not installed, install the ssh
[19:35] <dieselz> soundray: kind of a network n00b - i am using host-only networking
[19:36] <jeeves__> amenado, hummm, how can I do that through Webmin (my only access interface)
[19:36] <amenado> youtux-> you can remove it ie do not attache to your controller
[19:36] <pencoleta> hello
[19:36] <soundray> dieselz: I see. Still, it'll be a timing issue. Try adding '(sleep 10 ; ifup eth0' to /etc/rc.local
[19:36] <jeeves__> amenado, and when I try to access the mod, it's telling me I don't have auth
[19:36] <amenado> jeeves__-> you can not, you have to have terminal logged-in before you can install packages
[19:37] <soundray> dieselz: sorry, I meant try adding '(sleep 10 ; ifup eth0) &' to /etc/rc.local
[19:37] <ompaul> jeeves__, do you know the keyboard? ;-) you better go to it and type, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[19:37] <jeeves__> amenado, no, the server is on the East Coast.  I'm in Vancouver
[19:37] <youtux> amenado: isn't there any software method? Vista can disable them... I don't want to say Vista is better than Linux, obviously
[19:37] <ompaul> jeeves__, then you need someone on the east coast to do it for you, welcome to breaking things remotely 101
[19:37] <amenado> jeeves__-> you have to ask someone in the east coast to do it for you then, you can not remotely add packages without  loggin in
[19:38] <jeeves__> amenado, arrgghhh, this is going to require a LOT of coffee
[19:38] <antoine_> yes indeed
[19:38] <meep-meep> !coffee
[19:38] <amenado> youtux-> if it is not mounted it can not be used, but it is still powered because you have it attached to a power and controller
[19:38] <Bogus8> I'm quite confused... I've done this several times before... two issues... my ssh keys aren't being accepted from one box but they are from another and I have the pub keys in authorized_keys
[19:39] <jeeves__> amenado, no one over there knows what to do, and they're scared to touch it.  is there ANY other way of doing it?
[19:39] <dimka> help please
[19:39] <Bogus8> secondly sudo sometimes ask for password and sometimes doesn't even though I have gilligan        ALL= NOPASSWD:  ALL
[19:39] <soundray> ubottu, no, coffee =~ s/filtering/filtering hot/
[19:39] <dieselz> soundray: rebooting with changes now
[19:39] <dimka> help please
[19:39] <amenado> jeeves__-> get them on the horn and you can describe to them step by step what you have to do
[19:39] <hateball> !ask | dimka
[19:39] <jeeves__> amenado, humm, I'll poke some more on this end.  thanks.
[19:39] <hkittysmoothie> Is there any way I can encrypt a 320 GB volume with Truecrypt WITHOUT wiggling my mouse around for 2 1/2 hours?
[19:40] <amenado> jeeves__-> you have to make the plans man..planning is the key for rolling out stuff
[19:40] <th0r> hkittysmoothie, you don't have to wiggle the mouse around at all....but the longer you do the more random the keys that are generated
[19:40] <dimka> Is the windows mustdie?
[19:40] <Cheese> I have a problem.  modprobe won't let me load fglrx.ko
[19:40] <jeeves__> amenado, that's why I have Webmin installed
[19:40] <MolePrince> hkittysmoothie: Write a script to poll /dev/random and use that to wiggle your mouse around for you ;)
[19:41] <meep-meep> hkittysmoothie: you could make /dev/random a symlink to /dev/urandom
[19:41] <lordchavez> need help with my window decoration in anyway
[19:41] <Cheese> sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko
[19:41] <Cheese> insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': -1 Operation not permitted
[19:41] <amenado> jeeves__-> but you forgot to plan on reading the Webmin requirements before fielding :)
[19:41] <dieselz> soundray: works perfect - thanks so much
[19:41] <Cheese> that's what I get
[19:41] <spiel_mit_feuer> has anyone here had experience with ffmpeg or mencoder? or perhaps movie-to-dvd
[19:41] <eth01> just a quicky, anybody got this samsung tocco here btw?
[19:41] <jeeves__> amenado, the conbo of Webmin and SSH was my "idoit proof" system.  and I just proved that there are smarter idiots out there.
[19:42] <amenado> jeeves__-> everyone one forgets..just do what you must do
[19:42] <Cheese> here is the thread

[19:42] <jeeves__> amenado, I have a feeling it's because I uninstalled the LDAP server
[19:42] <Cheese> any help is appreciated
[19:42] <soundray> dieselz: cheers to dirty hacks :)
[19:42] <hkittysmoothie> th0r, it will not let me format if I have not completed the amount of wiggling that it requires
[19:42] <Bogus8> I'm quite confused... I've done this several times before... my ssh keys aren't being accepted from one box but they are from another and I have the pub keys in authorized_keys
[19:43] <jazzmann2> hi can anyone help me find uk street database ofr webapp,I know postcodes are license .That is why I am trying to find road database
[19:43] <dieselz> soundray: not trying to impress anyone, just want it to work ;)
[19:43] <geirha> jeeves__: what other protocols can you connect with?
[19:43] <amenado> jeeves__-> thing is  how did you even were able to uninstall the LDAP? without logging on to the system?
[19:43] <jeeves__> amenado, it was removed with Webmin
[19:43] <th0r> hkittysmoothie, I use truecrypt, and it doesn't do that for me. Once the random numbers are generated the formatting takes place without further user input
[19:44] <jeeves__> geirha, I can log in with webmin, FTP, HTTP, etc, but just not with SSH, and when I try the sudo command through the webmin interface, it's giving me a premissions error
[19:44] <hkittysmoothie> th0r, sorry, I got confused, I seemed to me that you'd still have to wiggle the mouse after clicking format, but now I see you don't
[19:44] <amenado> jeeves__-> am not familiar enuff with Webmin, how does it authenticate to the system as root or sudo so it can delete packages?
[19:44] <Pici> !webmbin | jeeves__
[19:44] <Pici> !webmin | jeeves__
[19:44] <th0r> hkittysmoothie, it will take a long time to format though....might actually run overnight depending on the machine
[19:44] <geirha> jeeves__: are you able to login to ftp as root?
[19:44] <hkittysmoothie> th0r, ok, thanks
[19:44] <jeeves__> geirha, no, the Root account was disabled

[19:45] <Lukemob> ello, how comes, when I boot a system, it asks me to Enter a runlevel? I never got anything like that
[19:46] <legend2440> Cheese:  sudo depmod     then    sudo modprobe fglrx  ??
[19:46] <Flare183> Lukemob:  Type in runlevel 2
[19:46] <amenado> Lukemob-> an ubuntu system?
[19:46] <Lukemob> yes
[19:46] <Lukemob> I still get the same
[19:46] <Lukemob> Flare183, I can input everything from 1 to 6
[19:47] <Flare183> Lukemob:  Well try 2
[19:47] <amenado> Lukemob-> and what happens when you type in 2 to 5 ?
[19:47] <Lukemob> Flare183, it doesn't work
[19:47] <shishirmk> i have connected my phone to ubuntu how to know what is its device file name

[19:47] <Flare183> Its supposed to
[19:47] <shishirmk> i have connected using USB data cable
[19:47] <Lukemob> amenado, to be honest, its a distro of Debian... but in their channel they noone know
[19:47] <Lukemob> and I get
[19:48] <Lukemob> tinity: No inittab file found

[19:48] <amenado> Lukemob-> seems like the /etc directory has been deleted
[19:48] <ompaul> Lukemob, you have a broken install - goto start do not trouble init
[19:48] <Lukemob> hm, Pici, it's exactly the same, so, be cool mate
[19:48] <Pici> Lukemob: No, its not.
[19:48] <Lukemob> well, I reinstalled like 4 times now
[19:48] <alsadi> Pici, regarding go-oo again
[19:48] <amenado> Lukemob-> id follow ompaul's advise, you have a broken install
[19:49] <lordchavez> some 1 who is experienced in compiz and emerald,.. need help
[19:49] <ompaul> Lukemob, this is is a ubuntu support channel
[19:49] <lordchavez> plz qry me
[19:49] <alsadi> try grep go-oo /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org-base-core/copyright Upstream authors: The OpenOffice.org and go-oo.org
[19:49] <Lukemob> amenado, you mean, broken install CD, or broken installation of the system mate
[19:49] <Odd-rationale> lordchavez: you can also try #compiz
[19:49] <Flare183> It would seem so, and I agree that it is a broken install
[19:49] <ompaul> !compiz | lordchavez
[19:49] <Lukemob> ok ok
[19:49] <Lukemob> Thank you
[19:49] <alsadi> see it says it's go-oo.org, so ubuntu's openoffice.org is based on go-oo
[19:49] <Lukemob> I know the solution now
[19:49] <Lukemob> thanks
[19:49] <shishirmk> how to find device name of the file i just connected to ubuntu??
[19:49] <alsadi> I'm I correct
[19:50] <amenado> Lukemob-> borkein installation, you are most likely missing /etc/ directory  which includes the init
[19:50] <alsadi> *am I ?
[19:50] <Lukemob> yes, amenado, right...
[19:50] <Ziroday> Hi, anyone know how to get flash working in kazehakase
[19:50] <Lukemob> the problem is, the server is getting remotely isntalled, it's a bit hard to check if it's correct :)
[19:50] <Lukemob> but thanks
[19:50] <tsrk> Does the nautilus search feature search within files or just their names?
[19:51] <amenado> Lukemob-> thats why you need to do a dry run before doing things remotely, so you'd know how to recover if things fails
[19:51] <Lukemob> amenado, I did backup.. I only care to get it working
[19:52] <amenado> Lukemob-> backup an unfinished install? that will not help you
[19:52] <ompaul> Lukemob, get new disk to person installing and please leave this channel it is not a ubuntu problem ;-)
[19:52] <haxplorer> I'm using ubuntu hardy on a HP Compaq nc6400. My mic doesn't work now. I had selected alsa as the mixer in sound preferences explicitly for amarok and other audio players to work. I'm just wondering if that might be a reason, and how I could fix things
[19:53] <Condoulo> whats the specific package name for xfce
[19:53] <Navy1> Does anyone know how i can ping my ubunut-server with its hostname from clients?
[19:53] <Lukemob> amenado, I mean, backed up the files needed... now there are people to get it working
[19:53] <Navy1> i can connect via ip, but not with hostname
[19:53] <Lukemob> I have not too much work with it :)
[19:53] <lordchavez> omg
[19:53] <anolis> have to add it to the hosts list i think Navy1, or setup a dns server on your internal network

[19:54] <Ziroday> Guest90587: in #ubuntu+1 please
[19:54] <bastid_raZor> Guest90587; #ubuntu+1 for ibex 8.10
[19:54] <amenado> Lukemob-> as people had advised you, this is not a debian support channel it is ubuntu, so you may have to try out the install locally and then do same steps remotely to get the feel
[19:54] <th0r> Condoulo, I think it is xfce4
[19:54] <Lukemob> amenado, I already know the solution mate.. said it while ago, but thanks a lot
[19:55] <amenado> Lukemob-> however, i can tell you, debootstrap is common to both debian and ubuntu installs
[19:55] <cellofellow> I figured out the et-sdl-sound thing. On line 40 of the file change "alsa" to "pulse".

[19:59] <maybeway36> rytis: continue a wget download thar is parially downloaded with "wget -c"
[19:59] <soundray> steel_lady: unless you solve your space problem first, upgrading will only worsen your troubles
[19:59] <steel_lady>  Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[19:59] <maybeway36> lusule: try running them in the terminal. that might help
[20:00] <rytis> thank you
[20:00] <Jupp3> And at least one instruction said that it might work automatically by just plugging it in
[20:00] <lusule> maybeway36, been there, done that, got the t-shirt, doesn't work :(
[20:00] <maybeway36> :(
[20:00] <alsadi> ?
[20:00] <lusule> maybeway36, a lot of people have tried a lot of things, i'm getting desperate.  It works if i switch to a new user, sometimes it works when i reboot, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes after it works i reboot and it comes back again
[20:00] <meep-meep> !doesn't work
[20:00] <intangible> van.f
[20:00] <steel_lady> for a looot of them is just saying: not found
[20:01] <lusule> meep-meep, for examples, see the conversation i was having above...
[20:01] <maybeway36> lusule: this sounds crazy, but try installing icewm and see if it happens when logged in to icewm
[20:01] <lusule> maybeway36, what's icewm?
[20:01] <maybeway36> a window manager
[20:01] <Condoulo> icewm is a window manager
[20:01] <maybeway36> it's in the repos
[20:01] <Jupp3> lots of stuff is
[20:01] <steel_lady> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[20:01] <maybeway36> sudo apt-get install icewm, then log out and choose icewm in sessions
[20:01] <lusule> maybeway36, i can't access the repos atm ><
[20:02] <maybeway36> hm
[20:02] <lusule> maybeway36, aaaah command line instructions still work :)

[20:03] <Bogus8> gotcha

[20:03] <Condoulo> maybeway36, maybe I shouldn't have suggested Samba. :P I mean how would I install a UI on top of Ubuntu server?
[20:03] <ndumac> is there another place to set environment variables, other then .bashrc, for the desktop environment ?
[20:03] <Bogus8> I've set it up on a few debian boxes but mirroring that isn't working here
[20:03] <Jupp3> stop not asking password sometimes?
[20:03] <soundray> ndumac: $HOME/.gnomerc
[20:03] <Bogus8> Jupp3: yeah, I just want to be able to sudo without passwords for anything for my user
[20:03] <ndumac> soundray: great thanks i'll try that
[20:04] <kdubois> what is the name of the stock install compiz package? is it just compiz?
[20:04] <ndumac> soundray: i shouldn't expect it to already exist shoudl i ?
[20:04] <legend2440> lusule: open /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts  make sure they match. that can effect opening admin programs. worth a look anyway
[20:04] <soundray> ndumac: no
[20:04] <steel_lady> please what can I do? something is very wrong with my repositories. how can I install pidgin since kopete stopped working?
[20:04] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; after you start a shell you could do sudo bash .. that would have the current terminal running as root. dangerous but do'able
[20:05] <Jupp3> Bogus8: Also sudo su works
[20:05] <soundray> steel_lady: you said earlier that you had a disk space shortage. Sort that out first
[20:05] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: well, in my other installs I always set up visudo to not ask via "<username>        ALL= NOPASSWD:  ALL"
[20:05] <soundray> !rootshell | bastid_raZor, Jupp3, Bogus8
[20:05] <legend2440> lusule: open /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts  make sure they match. that can effect opening admin programs. worth a look anyway
[20:05] <ndumac> soundray: boo, that didn't work!
[20:05] <lusule> legend2440, ah thank you
[20:06] <soundray> ndumac: did you restart gnome?
[20:06] <Bogus8> hehe
[20:06] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; in my opinion that is boneheaded idea. i prefer to use sudo for all root needed things. i never do sudo bash or sudo su
[20:06] <lusule> whoever it was suggested i try icewm, apart from being completely bizarre, it seems to work
[20:06] <ndumac> soundray: no i just ran source on the file
[20:06] <ndumac> soundray: i'll do that now tho :p
[20:06] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: well, that is what I'm trying to achieve actually... I want to be able to sudo without the need for the password.. not just sudo into a root shell.. but anytime I sudo
[20:06] <soundray> ndumac: that won't make gnome rereade it
[20:07] <raul> oi
[20:07] <soundray> *reread
[20:07] <ndumac> soundray: rebooting
[20:07] <meep-meep> ndumac: no reboot
[20:07] <Bogus8> I think you guys are missing what I'm asking... I know how to sudo su -... but what I'm after is the ability to not have sudo ask for passwords anytime I invoke the sudo command
[20:08] <soundray> meep-meep: just let him/her
[20:08] <Flannel> Bogus8: Why do you want to do that?
[20:08] <Bogus8> I do this all day long on several of my etchy boxes
[20:08] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; i under that. it severely defeats the purpose of having a user account.
[20:08] <ndumac> meep-meep: won't that have the same effect as restarting gdm ?
[20:08] <Bogus8> Flannel: I'm the only one on these boxes and it's easier than having to type in a password ;)
[20:08] <soundray> ndumac: it'll take a bit longer and some people consider it un-Linux-y
[20:08] <Chousuke> People really don't care about security :(
[20:08] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: well, I don't want to ALWAYS sudo, i just don't want the password prompt when I do
[20:08] <Bogus8> so in that case it doesn't
[20:08] <ndumac> soundray: hah, well already rebooted
[20:09] <soundray> ndumac: that was quick
[20:09] <Flannel> Bogus8: You'll find you will use sudo less as time goes on.  Just live with it for the next week or so.
[20:09] <soundray> ndumac: has it worked?
[20:09] <ndumac> soundray: it's just a D620
[20:09] <ndumac> soundray: trying
[20:09] <nocive> Bogus8: edit /etc/sudoers
[20:09] <ndumac> soundray: doesn't appear to have
[20:09] <Bogus8> Flannel: well, that would be ok... but that still doesn't explain why sudo is working differently in ubuntu than it has in debian
[20:09] <ArielMT> Bogus8: man sudoers and look at the timestamp_timeout option
[20:09] <soundray> ndumac: not sure if it has to be chmod +x'd
[20:09] <ndumac> soundray: wait a second
[20:09] <Bogus8> nocive: I have... I have <username>        ALL= NOPASSWD:  ALL   in it
[20:09] <ndumac> soundray: device wasn't found, forgot to run another script first
[20:10] <Chousuke> Bogus8: sudo works differently in ubuntu?
[20:10] <Bogus8> ArielMT: it's not a matter of the time stamp.... I want to set it up to never ask... not just not time out
[20:10] <Bogus8> Chousuke: apparently it does... which is why I am trying to sort it out
[20:10] <nocive> Bogus8: and still it asks you for password?
[20:10] <Bogus8> nocive: yeah
[20:10] <Chousuke> how does it work differently?
[20:11] <SakuraKinomoto> thanks soundray
[20:11] <Bogus8> Chousuke: I have identical visudo files (sudoers) and one box ask me for passwords and the other doesn't
[20:11] <SakuraKinomoto> guys, i need help in another question
[20:11] <soundray> Bogus8: did you use 'sudo visudo' to edit sudoers?
[20:11] <Chousuke> I don't agree with your decision to use nopasswd; at least *never* recommend others to do it.
[20:11] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; 1 sec.. i'll give you what you're needing.
[20:11] <Bogus8> soundray: yes sir
[20:11] <dbrewer_rjr> i just set up my second server on a vmware host, and the nameserver will not resolve. I cannot apt-get anything
[20:11] <SakuraKinomoto> can i change the console "resolution"? i don't want to use it with just 25 lines and 80 columns... i have a big sreen...
[20:11] <Bogus8> Chousuke: I can respect that... but it's my personal box and I want to run it like that... though I heed your warning
[20:11] <ross> is it possible to install google earth in ubuntu?
[20:12] <ross> if so, how can i go about doing so?
[20:12] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; add username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/sudo
[20:12] <ndumac> soundray: it did not work
[20:12] <SakuraKinomoto> ross check google webpage, they have the instructions if this is possible
[20:12] <soundray> SakuraKinomoto: you need to set a vga= boot option, e.g. vga=0x317 for 1024x768
[20:12] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; start another terminal and you're done.
[20:12] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: I will try that out... but why isn't the same line from my debian box working on this box?
[20:12] <ross> sakurakinomoto: thanks
[20:13] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; ubuntu is not debian
[20:13] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: but sudo is sudo :p
[20:13] <soundray> ndumac: is your .gnomerc executable? Not sure if it has to be, but it's worth trying, given that it has failed so far
[20:13] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; ubuntu obviously has some tweaks that make it act differently than debian
[20:13] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: if it is different I can accept that... but that is all I was asking is is it different and if so then  how do I fix it... you seem to have answered that... thanks
[20:13] <[globa|fin]> Hello. I am currently running an Ubuntu 8.04 server w/LAMP. The machine its on has a Pentium Xeon dual-processor motherboard. It also has two network ports, which were both plugged in. I unplugged one because I only want it to use that one. Now my network and apache is down - how can I make Ubuntu re-seek my new connection? Thanks!
[20:14] <SakuraKinomoto> bastid_raZor: are you telling how to avoid password for sudo in console?
[20:14] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; that will work :) enjoy never typing a password with sudo :)
[20:14] <ndumac> soundray: should i restart gnome ?
[20:14] <legend2440> !googleearth | ross
[20:14] <SakuraKinomoto> bastid_raZor: wheredo i have to add this line?
[20:14] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: thank you for assisting me against your better judgement ;)
[20:14] <bastid_raZor> SakuraKinomoto; do sudo visudo then add that line to the bottom of the file
[20:14] <soundray> ndumac: there's no way around it if you want to test
[20:14] <zvacet> ross : add http://www.medibuntu.org/ to your source list
[20:14] <SakuraKinomoto> bastid_raZor: THANKS A LOT!!!
[20:15] <dbrewer_rjr> help! my server says:Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[20:15] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: don't guess there is a way to make visudo work like debian (IE: it edits it in nano essentially)
[20:15] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; heh, see what you've started.. tomorrow 10 people will be asking why sudo is acting all nuts ;)
[20:15]  * Bogus8 doesn't get along with vi
[20:15] <steel_lady_> I lost the connection again. my sepositories.. some suggestions?
[20:15] <zvacet> dbrewer_rjr : change it to main and try again
[20:15] <soundray> ndumac: did you use 'export' for the variable settings?
[20:15] <Hypnus9> Hi room. I have ubuntu on my laptop and ubuntu server on my desktop. how do I access my desktop from my laptop?
[20:15] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: RAWR!! chaos! ;)
[20:16] <soundray> steel_lady: sort out your disk space issue first
[20:16] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; heh, i prefer vim but i think you can change which $EDITOR your prefer in your bash.profile
[20:16] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: and that will change which one visudo evokes?
[20:16] <ndumac> soundray: export VARNAME=blah, so yes
[20:17] <ndumac> soundray: restart didn't change it
[20:17] <H__> Hypnus9 you want to access files, or login to run programs ?
[20:17] <dbrewer_rjr> zvacet: change what to main?
[20:17] <Jeren> Greetings! I'm running Ubuntu Server and am wondering how to enable auto-login. I know how to in a desktop environment, but this is the first time I'm working strictly via command-line.
[20:17] <SakuraKinomoto> soundray: the vga line... if to be placed where?
[20:17] <lordchavez> got a problem with my Geforce 7600gt cant activate my opengl without having black screen
[20:17] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; i'm not sure, it may though. you can always try and find out.
[20:17] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: cool, will be a good thing to know if it works! ;)
[20:17] <Hypnus9> Access files
[20:17] <zvacet> us.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com in your source list
[20:18] <steel_lady_> soundray, I can not buy a new computer
[20:18] <zvacet> dbrewer_rjr : after that sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:20] <BrandonS> Oh god that earthquake was awful!!!
[20:20] <BrandonS> Oh sorry wrong channel
[20:20] <SakuraKinomoto> soundray: the line you told me to change the console dimensions, where can i place it?
[20:20] <zvacet> steel_lady_ : you can get some free space with sudo apt-get clean  sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get autoremove
[20:20] <TiredWolf> BrandonS: you're excused, if your tabs were messed up by the quake
[20:20] <steel_lady_> zvacet, it didn't work enough a year ago
[20:20] <dbrewer_rjr> zvacet: it does not like security.ubuntu.com either. same thing?
[20:21] <Jeren> Greetings! I'm running Ubuntu Server and am wondering how to enable auto-login. I know how to in a desktop environment, but this is the first time I'm working strictly via command-line.
[20:21] <steel_lady_> zvacet, I did everything I could, removing programs and all my personal staff
[20:21] <TiredWolf> server... auto-login... aaaargh
[20:21] <bastid_raZor> Jeren; are you referring to ssh login?
[20:21] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: not to keep pressing the issue but shouldn't that same visudo line work if instead of /usr/bin/sudo you just had ALL ?
[20:21] <dbrewer_rjr> zvacet: no dice. did ubuntu change something?
[20:21] <zvacet> steel_lady_ : I connected later what is original problem
[20:22] <Jeren> bastid: I'm referring to when I boot up the box.
[20:22] <Imaginal> I'm using ExFalso to rename some files, but I get this error on every file. http://pastebin.ca/1086391 It creates the new file with proper name, but just doesn't delete the original. What is going on?
[20:22] <sonink> I've tried mounting an NTFS partition with cluster size of 8KB and 16KB using ntfs-3g and it mounts but the 'mount' command shows it still detected a blocksize of 4KB.  Will it be correctly reading and writing with the proper cluster size?
[20:22] <abhi_> hi guys. i want to compile a custom linux kernel. I have used make menuconfig. but i am confused about various options given. from where i can get details about the options.
[20:22] <steel_lady_> my problem now is: I live alone in another country and I communicate every day with my mother by ICQ. now it lost the connection saying that the version is too old. what can I do, it doesn't permit update
[20:23] <steel_lady_> zvacet be quick, I am loosing connection every few minutes
[20:23] <geirha> Jeren: install rungetty and read "man rungetty"
[20:23] <zvacet> dbrewer_rjr : I don´t think so,but I can be wrong
[20:23] <Deckard_Cain> Hey Guys, Does anyone know which libraries are required to enable rainbow colors in IRC?  I can't seem to get it to work.
[20:23] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; you're telling it specifically which command to allow nopasswd to. i've never used ALL i've always told it which command i don't want to be asked a password with.. in my case aptitude. i have a script for updating.
[20:23] <Deckard_Cain> I know that if you type /disco in IRC, it's supposed to enable rainbow color mode, but its not working for me for some reason
[20:23] <RemsSs> hi everybody
[20:23] <Jeren> geirha: Thank you. I'll take a look at rungetty now.
[20:23] <zvacet> steel_lady_ : which version
[20:23] <Snares_ubuntu> hi guys I have an HD3870, Ubuntu 8.04.1 64-bit and am trying to figure out how to install the ati drivers. I am not sure if I should use the restricted drivers option in ubuntu as this has causes problems for my videocard in the past. Does anyone know of a method to correctly install the drivers?
[20:24] <steel_lady_> zvacet feisty of ubuntu
[20:24] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: right, just in other lines they use "ALL" like for root and stuff... and I've done it before.. .just never on ubuntu
[20:24] <dbrewer_rjr> zvacet:Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'
[20:24] <Snares_ubuntu> I just installed it 2 minutes ago and it is fully updated
[20:24] <RemsSs> i am using live usb and i am now to integrated adobe flash player. Is it finished or not ?
[20:24] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: ALL meaning all commands obviously
[20:25] <ndumac> Snares_ubuntu: how long ago did you try this ?
[20:25] <pla1> hello, can you help me too with a ruby related question? when i execute a gem like rails, it say the programm does not exist..
[20:25] <Snares_ubuntu> well I was using the 8.04 alpha version
[20:25] <Snares_ubuntu> accidentally :P
[20:25] <MachinTrucChose> hi
[20:25] <zvacet> steel_lady_ : feisty is still suported I don´t understand that type of warning
[20:25] <Snares_ubuntu> and I installed the restricted driver
[20:25] <MachinTrucChose> is there a way I can make Ubuntu index filenames (and only filenames, not file content) so I can search for files better/faster?
[20:25] <legend2440> Snares_ubuntu: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide
[20:26] <RemsSs>  i am using live usb and i am now to integrated adobe flash player. Is it finished or not ?
[20:26] <bonespur> guys...im facing a out of frequency error in my monitor...any ideas how to fix it??
[20:26] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; you may be correct on that assumption. since i have never attempted it that way i can't fully say yes or no.
[20:26] <steel_lady_> zvacet, I am sure that something is just wrong with my repositories, something happened months ago and it just stopped working. I miss something there
[20:26] <bonespur> cannot even see the screen after boot
[20:26] <zvacet> dbrewer_rjr : can you browse the net
[20:26] <Snares_ubuntu> and when I rebooted and tried to login it completely messed up and the computer rebooted. I have read that having the memory remap feature on will mess things up, so I turned that off. Is it safe to just install from the default ubuntu restricted drivers?
[20:26] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: roger... thanks for you assistance... it's hard to tell if it's working right away with the timestamp thing ;)
[20:27] <steel_lady_> zvacet, tell me how to install pidgin?
[20:27] <Snares_ubuntu> ah ty legend2440
[20:27] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; open a more than one terminal. i normally have 4 or so running at once
[20:27] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: oh, I got several open here ;)  so each new terminal (log in) is a new timestamp?
[20:27] <zvacet> steel_lady_ :http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_add_extra_repositories  try this source list
[20:27] <dbrewer_rjr> zvacet: it is a server out on a server farm running vmware. the other server on the box has no probs doing apt-get update. this one on the same box just gives me resolve errors
[20:28] <Bogus8> Oh, now on to topic two of the oddities...
[20:28] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; yes, each terminal is completely seperate than the other
[20:28] <Bogus8> I have ssh setup with the correct keys but it doesn't let me in from all boxes just my putty
[20:28] <dbrewer_rjr> zvacet:it is not the network card, cause i am securecrt to the server
[20:28] <Snares_ubuntu> bogus: do you have port 22 forwarded
[20:29] <Snares_ubuntu> Bogus8: do you have port 22 forwarded*
[20:29] <Bogus8> Snares_ubuntu: I'm local
[20:29] <Snares_ubuntu> Bogus8: there could still be some sort of firwall issue there though
[20:29] <Snares_ubuntu> firewall*
[20:29] <Gigi> Hi!  How can I migrate all my passwords to firefox to opera?
[20:29] <Snares_ubuntu> ]from firefox to opera I'm betting ;)
[20:29] <Bogus8> Snares_ubuntu: shouldn't be... i don't have one installed and I'm connecting to 192...  I was able to do it using passwords
[20:29] <Gigi> from firefox to opera
[20:30] <tonohono> !kasumi
[20:30] <tonohono> Balls.
[20:30] <Snares_ubuntu> Bogus8: you're saying you're trying to ssh without a password???
[20:30] <zvacet> steel_lady_ :http://www.debuntu.org/pidgin-2.1.1-.deb-released-for-ubuntu-feisty   maybe this
[20:30] <Bogus8> Snares_ubuntu: using rsa keys :p
[20:30] <Snares_ubuntu> ah
[20:31] <AzizLight> is there a way to change the chmod of a folder and all its subfolders/files using the terminal please?
[20:31] <SakuraKinomoto> i was editing sudoers using visudo, but the program closed unexpectedly and i can't use visudo again... it's locked, how can i unlock?
[20:31] <soundray> AzizLight: use the -r option
[20:31] <zvacet> dbrewer_rjr : I can not help you sorry  :'(
[20:31] <Snares> AzizLight: chmod a+*** -R I believe
[20:31] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; see.. already problems ;) make sure all the boxes have the keys
[20:31] <Snares> yeah@ soundray
[20:32] <Bogus8> Snares: yeah, I even scp'd my .pub keys to the new box from the old and appeneded them to the authkeys file
[20:32] <soundray> SakuraKinomoto: reboot to recovery mode and run visudo from there
[20:32] <AzizLight> I tried chmod 755 -r /path/to/my/folder and I got an error. I tried chmod -r 755 too and I also got an error
[20:32] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: :p I had this problem before :p
[20:32] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; i was referring to issues with visudo ^^
[20:32] <Bogus8> all my boxes have keys... I even tried both dsa and rsa keys and I even used -i to make sure it was using the right ones
[20:33] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: oh, I missed the question ;)
[20:33] <soundray> AzizLight: with chmod, it's -R
[20:33] <soundray> AzizLight: man chmod for more information
[20:33] <synusoid> I have a weird problem. My cd tray doesn't want to work(open or close, with or without a cd on). Sometimes it does, but for a little. I have installed Ubuntu and Vista on a brand new Toshiba laptop. Eject
[20:33] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: haha.. yeah, that's my fault :p
[20:33] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; there is a tutorial on how to set up the keys correctly.. you could double check against that to see if you've completed all the steps correctly. i use the same key for at least two servers i connect to.
[20:33] <bastid_raZor> Bogus8; heh
[20:34] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: well, it's not rocket science and I've done it a dozen times before (and multiple keys per box)
[20:34] <riaal> best way to run a script every 10 seconds?
[20:34] <bastid_raZor> riaal; cron
[20:34] <ManualOverDozer8> riaal: cron jobs ?
[20:34] <AzizLight> soundray: yeah I just rechecked the man and saw that it was -R not -r, thanks for the help
[20:34] <steel_lady_> ok I forgot how to add the APT line? which command to edit the file?
[20:34] <soundray> riaal: 'while true ; do sleep 10 ; run script ; done
[20:34] <riaal> that how I'm doing it atm, just checking... thanks
[20:35] <SakuraKinomoto> how can i edit sudoers but using nano, not vi, not vi!!!
[20:35] <Fishscene> Hello everyone
[20:35] <riaal> soundray: not sure I want it running, it uses a lot of threads
[20:35] <riaal> soundray: sorry, missed you point
[20:35] <Fishscene> I'm curious as to how to edit my fstab to auto-mount an internal hard drive to a specific directory. I followed a tutorial, but it doesn't seem to be working.
[20:35] <sonink> I've tried mounting an NTFS partition with cluster size of 8KB and 16KB using ntfs-3g and it mounts but the 'mount' command shows it still detected a blocksize of 4KB.  Will it be correctly reading and writing with the proper cluster size?
[20:35] <soundray> SakuraKinomoto: 'EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano visudo'
[20:36] <riaal> soundray: that a good idea, thanks
[20:36] <synusoid> Eject doesn't work either. Doesn't work on Vista either. Vista says something else is accessing the drive. What could that be?
[20:36] <SakuraKinomoto> soundray: is it an environment variable?
[20:36] <soundray> SakuraKinomoto: yes
[20:37] <Gigi> I need to know two thing.  1st How can I export my firefox passwords.  2nd How can I download youtube videos
[20:37] <Gigi> thanks!
[20:37] <viqas_> youre welcome
[20:37] <Fishscene> Does anyone know how to edit fstab?
[20:37] <soundray> !fstab > Fishscene
[20:37] <viqas_> Fishscene: sudo nano /etc/fstab
[20:38] <Gigi> Fishscene sudo nautilus until you reach the file
[20:38] <soundray> !gksu | Gigi
[20:38] <Fishscene> Soundray, coincidentaly, that's the exact tutorial I used
[20:38] <Gigi> makes sense soundray
[20:39] <Fishscene> I can manually mount the drive drive just fine. It's the fstab configuration that's got me
[20:39] <Bogus8> bastid_raZor: I looked at the keys in nano (my old faithful editor) and it looks fine... I even moved "known host" just to eliminate that and still "Permission denied (publickey)."
[20:39] <soundray> Fishscene: that should have put you in a position to ask more specifically
[20:40] <Fishscene> What's the link to binbucket so I don't spam stuff in here?
[20:40] <sonink> Fishscene: what does the line you're using in your Fstab look like right now?
[20:40] <soundray> !pastebin > Fishscene
[20:40] <synusoid> how do I see what is using my cd drive? It doesn't open 90% of the time, often not even at boot. Thanks
[20:40] <matt___> hi - i'm trying to install lamp on 8.04 - there was a single apt-get install command for it in 7.10 but i've forgotten i! can anyone remind me?
[20:41] <Gigi> I need to know two thing.  1st How can I export my firefox passwords.  2nd How can I download youtube videos.  Thanks guys!
[20:41] <soundray> synusoid: there's something wrong with your drive itself -- I don't think this is an Ubuntu problem
[20:41] <ManualOverDozer8> synusoid does it open correctly with the eject button on the cdrom itself ?
[20:41] <Fishscene> http://paste.ubuntu.com/31838/
[20:42] <sugi> hey
[20:42] <soundray> Gigi: 1) please ask one question at the time. 2) Firefox passwords can't be exported, except manually one-by-one, 3) Use the download link on the page
[20:42] <krazy-h> I'm learning linux commands
[20:42] <krazy-h> :D
[20:42] <kushalsejwal> Greeting everybody, I used Brasero to burn a DVD, at the end of burning it asked again to load the DVD for  data integrity(no DVD god corrupted its not working now :() what does Data integrity means??
[20:42] <SakuraKinomoto> thanks soundray
[20:43] <robf> whats a good flowcharting app?
[20:43] <synusoid> ManualOverDozer8: soundray: no, the button and the command eject both won't work. Vista says something is using my cd drive. The problem is sometimes it works, so it's hard to point out what the problem could be
[20:43] <soundray> Fishscene: you can only have one set of options -- delete the lonely 'auto'.
[20:43] <ManualOverDozer8> kushalsejwal ensures that the burn was successful and all the data is good. it verifys that the burn went good
[20:43] <Gigi> soundray and how about from the folder .mozilla / firefox?  I managed to export firefox2firefox when I upgraded to the last ubuntu (it was time for a clean install after three years of upgrades and updates)
[20:44] <synusoid> it seems to work fine if I use the live cd for Ubuntu
[20:44] <Gigi> do they share filetypes?
[20:44] <kushalsejwal> ManualOverDozer8: Okay, but is it necessary??
[20:44] <synusoid> but I don't know, it could be a coincidence, lol
[20:44] <ManualOverDozer8> synusoidis there a cd in the drive you wish to remove ? there is a small pin-hole near the eject button, push a small pin in there to manually eject the drive
[20:44] <bastid_raZor> Gigi; copy the .mozilla directory.. it will the majority of all things the same. i had to redo all my saved passwords though
[20:44] <soundray> Fishscene: not sure if the double quotes are sufficient to escape the space. If it still doesn't work, try a backslash before the space, or avoid the space in the directory name altogether
[20:44] <lunartear> any advanced sshers around? I'm trying to figure out if i can have sshd forward a port when it starts with host auth
[20:45] <ManualOverDozer8> synusoid only use that if the drive wont eject at all. i cant tell you why the OS wont eject it. it should, but it can be a number of reasons why it dont
[20:45] <legend2440> robf: there is package called   kivio  in synaptic
[20:46] <synusoid> ManualOverDozer8: nothing inside. The problem arises with or without a cd inside. And I don't want to open it with a pin every time, especially considering it a brand new laptop...
[20:46] <Penol> I have trouble with oidentd, it dont work. this is what the message in syslog is
[20:46] <Penol> Jul 29 21:45:39 ubuntu oidentd[13237]: Connection from mediatraffic2.fi.quakenet.org (<IP_ADDRESS>):0
[20:46] <Penol> Jul 29 21:45:39 ubuntu oidentd[13237]: [mediatraffic2.fi.quakenet.org] 53896 , 6667 : ERROR : NO-USER
[20:46] <soundray> Gigi: the new firefox may have imported the old settings. That doesn't mean that you can do the same with opera
[20:46] <ManualOverDozer8> synusoid if it is under warranty you should see who you got it from to have it replaced (at no charge)
[20:46] <Gigi> soundray yeah, I guess so
[20:47] <bman___> Hi, Can anyone help me with a sound issue. I just installed Kubuntu and I had sound, then I installed codecs for mp3 playback, now I have no sound.
[20:47] <raven79> bye all
[20:47] <ManualOverDozer8> synusoid if  you bought one and the cd tray never ejects, that is hardly worth any money at all
[20:47] <bastid_raZor> bman___; kde 3.5 or kde 4.*?
[20:48] <bman___> bastid_raZor: Not sure, whatever is on the disc
[20:48] <ManualOverDozer8> synusoid it doesnt sound to be an Ubuntu issue, as Vista does the same thing. its more like hardware in which this isnt the right channel for that
[20:48] <soundray> synusoid: in any case, what you have is not an Ubuntu issue. Try ##hardware perhaps
[20:48] <synusoid> how could I see what processes are accessing the drive?
[20:48] <bman___> bastid_raZor: 3.5.90
[20:48] <bastid_raZor> bman___; join #kubuntu for kde3.5
[20:48] <hachi> anyone know how to specify to casper where to find its filesystem image? I'm pouring over the initramfs source but I can't find the answer
[20:48] <ManualOverDozer8> there is an o"open file" command, but, i forget what it is
[20:49] <soundray> synusoid: lsof or fuser. But neither will solve your problem
[20:51] <hachi> anyone know where I can find people who have a clue about casper's startup routines inside the initramfs on the install systems? there's no documentation of startup options that I can find, and the source is a bit convoluted
[20:52] <Jeren> Greetings again. Now that I have my Ubuntu Server box up with LAMP, I'm attempting to upload files to /var/www via SFTP. However, I apparently don't have permission to do so. What would be a good way to resolve this?
[20:53] <steel_lady_> zvacet, are you still here?
[20:53] <kenkku> Jeren: add yourself to the group that owns it
[20:53] <kenkku> Jeren: it might be www-data or something
[20:53] <Jeren> kenkku: If I'm reading my screen right, /var/www is owned by root.
[20:54] <steel_lady_> please I need help to instal pidgin!
[20:54] <geirha> Jeren: what about the group ownership? ls -ld /var/www
[20:54] <kenkku> Jeren: let's check, execute this in a terminal: ls -l /var/ |grep www
[20:54] <kenkku> apparently geirha had a better one :p
[20:55] <anirudh0> steel_lady_, ?..whats the problem
[20:55] <zvacet> steel_lady_ : I just try to find deb file for feisty that is all
[20:55] <Fishscene> ok I got rid of the lonely auto, still not quite working: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31844/
[20:55] <Jeren> geirha: Group ownership is also root
[20:56] <soundray> Fishscene: did you get what I said about the space?
[20:56] <ManualOverDozer8> steel_lady_ use Synaptic Package Manager and search pidgin
[20:56] <Jeren> kenkku: I did your way, too, just to make you feel helpful :) Same result, obviously...
[20:56] <kenkku> hehe
[20:56] <Fishscene> soundray, yes, but I wonder why it mounts alright when using the mount command.
[20:56] <zvacet> steel_lady_ : try search forums nothing else cross my mind right now
[20:56] <Fishscene> Or is there another way to signify space?
[20:56] <ajbrun> hi, i'm trying to update from 7.10 to 8.04 - it's been doing the upgrade for about 13 hours now, and for the past 3 hours, it's said "about 4 minutes remaining"
[20:57] <ajbrun> has anyone got any advice please?
[20:57] <eth01> how can people still use dialup? :)
[20:57] <soundray> Fishscene: it's different then, because the shell deals with the filename in that case, and knows to keep everything between the quotes together
[20:57] <geirha> Jeren: are you the only one who will need write access?
[20:57] <ajbrun> is it safe to quit/cancel it? It said now at the beginning
[20:57] <eth01> hah. i'm being sarcastic. ignore me.
[20:57] <anirudh0> ajbrun, yes
[20:57] <Fishscene> ah. Would you know of a way of retaining the space besides changing the directory name? That's a lot of work on my end to do so >.>
[20:57] <ajbrun> ok then - i'll try again tomorrow in that case
[20:57] <anirudh0> ajbrun, downloaded files are in /var/cache/apt/
[20:58] <anirudh0> ajbrun, upgrade will resume from where it left
[20:58] <ajbrun> no - i think it's downloaded everything
[20:58] <anirudh0> ajbrun, even better
[20:58] <ajbrun> but it's got stuck on the update
[20:58] <Jeren> geirha: Yes. Only one user account, and it'll be used just to update scripts and pages.
[20:58] <legend2440> soundray: doesn't Fishscene need to specify  partition type?   ext3 or ntfs?
[20:58] <soundray> ajbrun: there is a known problem when upgrading locales -- do you want me to dig out the bug report?
[20:58] <phaktor> can you have the upgrade use a local mirror instead of mirror.ubuntu.com?
[20:58] <ajbrun> configuring locales
[20:58] <anirudh0> ajbrun, just run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" from term
[20:58] <zvacet> eth01 : bexause they don´t have other options
[20:58] <geirha> Jeren: The following will give you ownership to /var/www and everything underneath it: sudo chown -R $USER /var/www
[20:58] <ajbrun> ah
[20:58] <anirudh0> ajbrun, ah..see soundray's post
[20:58] <Fishscene> legend, that's what the lonely auto was for I thought. But I got rid of it anyway. >.>
[20:58] <bastid_raZor> ajbrun; i got that same error two days ago and my upgrade failed. i had to do a fresh install
[20:58] <rapha> Hi all!
[20:58] <ajbrun> on the forums i assume anirudh0
[20:59] <ajbrun> i'll take a look
[20:59] <geirha> Jeren: then you should have full access to add and remove files in your webroot
[20:59] <soundray> Fishscene: sorry, I was wrong on that then. Thanks legend2440
[20:59] <rapha> I just updated Ubuntu and now Atheros WLAN does not work anymore ... what should I do?
[20:59] <Fishscene> lol, NP :) I'll add it back in
[20:59] <jjholt> i was running lm_sensors and according to that my + and - 12V rails are only outputting 6V is that a problem?
[20:59] <anirudh0> kde 4.1 has been released
[20:59] <soundray> Fishscene: don't you want to specify it, instead of putting auto?
[20:59] <HangukMiguk_> My external hard drive has magically changed from writeable to read-only without me changing fstab. Help!
[20:59] <anirudh0> just in case you did'nt see slashdot recently ;)
[20:59] <soundray> !cookie | legend2440
[20:59] <Jeren> geirha: Each time I attempt to do so with Filezilla, I get nothing but a permission error.
[21:00] <SeveredCross> Just in case you..cared?
[21:00] <SeveredCross> ^__^
[21:00] <Fishscene> soundray, I've tried it specified and auto, I can try specifying it again if you wish
[21:00] <legend2440> !beer | soundray
[21:00] <bastid_raZor> soundray; i would like that bug info on the locales.. it caused me a great headache.
[21:00] <anirudh0> lol
[21:00] <tverwaes> anybody who can hint me how to fix efi after removing osx and enlarging my ubuntu partition on a macbook pro where I want a single boot? I can't seem to figure out how to get it bootable again... refit has dissapeared after removing osx
[21:00] <soundray> Fishscene: are you rebooting each time to test?
[21:00] <Fishscene> soundray, yes
[21:00] <steel_lady__> anirudh0, zvacet, are you here? I lost connection again
[21:01] <zvacet> steel_lady__ : still here
[21:01] <anirudh0> steel_lady_, yes...have you  tried apt-get install pidgin?
[21:01] <soundray> Fishscene: you don't have to. Just 'sudo mount -a' will read your fstab and mount anything in it that isn't mounted already
[21:01] <Fishscene> oh!
[21:01] <ajbrun> sorry soundray - could you please dig out that bug report if you could?
[21:01] <Gilnim> Hey guys I have a problem with samba / SAM:  "Error: Invalid credentials"
[21:01] <HangukMiguk_> My external hard drive has magically changed from writeable to read-only without me changing fstab. Help!
[21:01] <geirha> Jeren: even after you've given yourself ownership with the chmod command?
[21:01] <Jeren> geirha: I haven't attempted that... <.< Good reminder.
[21:01] <anirudh0> HangukMiguk_, how long has it been since you ran fsck?
[21:02] <steel_lady__> anirudh0 of course I did
[21:02] <soundray> ajbrun: bug #249340
[21:02] <geirha> HangukMiguk_: ntfs?
[21:02] <ajbrun> ty
[21:02] <anirudh0> steel_lady_, and....?
[21:02] <HangukMiguk_> geirha: vfat
[21:02] <Fishscene> after running sudo mount -a, it says line 12 is bad. *investigating*
[21:02] <zvacet> anirudh0 : there is no pidgin deb for feisty in repos
[21:02] <geirha> HangukMiguk_: were any other users logged on when it was connected?
[21:02] <soundray> bastid_raZor: ^^ ubottu
[21:03] <HangukMiguk_> i'm the sole user
[21:03] <anirudh0> HangukMiguk_, run dosfsck ..then try a umount and then a manual mount
[21:03] <topinio> salut
[21:03] <anirudh0> zvacet, why are you stuck o fiesty?
[21:03] <anirudh0> *on
[21:03] <soundray> Fishscene: that'll be the space issue
[21:03] <steel_lady__> http://pastebin.com/m1a2366e6   anirudh0
[21:03] <zvacet> anirudh0 : not me steel_lady__ does
[21:03] <geirha> HangukMiguk_: what does "ls -ld /media/mountpoint" say? (with the proper mountpoint of course)
[21:04] <anirudh0> zvacet, sorry :)
[21:04] <Fishscene> soundray, pardon my stubborness :P So there's no way to have a space in there?
[21:04] <newbe1> programs items in task bar don't go all the way to the left   just mid way   help
[21:04] <bastid_raZor> soundray; thanks

[21:04] <mattywarr> hi - i want to connect to my ubuntu pc from my work computer, which runs xp. I want to use Windows RDP to connect to Ubunto Vino. Vino is installed by default, is any config required to make it auto launch/run?
[21:04] <Aaaaaarrgghh> I've just installed ubuntu
[21:04] <steel_lady__> anirudh0 I have a laptop with no space even after doing cleanup and removing all my personal files and de installing most of my programs
[21:05] <Th3_1n3> anyone know how to spoof their ip adress
[21:05] <Aaaaaarrgghh> I took admin rights away from the main account and set a password for root
[21:05] <HangukMiguk_> all it does is tell me there's differences between boot sector and it's backup.
[21:05] <geirha> HangukMiguk_: I think anirudh0's suggestion is a good idea btw. unmount and run fsck.vfat or dosfsck on the partition. This may be caused by filesystem error
[21:05] <newbe1> programs items in task bar don't go all the way to the left   just mid way   help
[21:05] <Aaaaaarrgghh> and not it won't let me change anything
[21:05] <Fishscene> hey guys, brb, gotta run for an hour or so
[21:05] <HangukMiguk_> then:  File system has 2441533 clusters but only space for 2441470 FAT entries
[21:05] <Aaaaaarrgghh> It gives me an authentication error
[21:05] <ManualOverDozer8> aaaaaaarg: why did you take away admin priv ?
[21:05] <soundray> steel_lady__: backup and do a fresh installation, preferably on a larger hard disk
[21:05] <zvacet> steel_lady__ synaptic>edit tab>fix broken packages
[21:06] <geirha> HangukMiguk_: oh, that kindof make it sound like there's too many files on it ...
[21:06] <Aaaaaarrgghh> and I can't login as root either, to give the other account its privaledges back, because root login from the login screen is disables
[21:06] <HangukMiguk_> shouldn't be
[21:06] <inspyre> hi
[21:06] <Aaaaaarrgghh> Help!
[21:06] <mneptok> Aaaaaarrgghh: use recovery mode. that's what it's for.
[21:07] <Aaaaaarrgghh> How do I use recovery mode
[21:07] <inspyre> anyone using fluxbox update firefox without menu entry?
[21:07] <HangukMiguk_> how in the world can there be "too many files on a hard drive?"
[21:07] <cchance> Anyone know if that when i install a program under wine and the prog ask to restart, is it required?
[21:07] <ManualOverDozer8> Aaaaaarrgghh recovery mode was suggested the other day. evidently there is a way to do it from there
[21:07] <newbe1> programs items in task bar don't go all the way to the left   just mid way   help
[21:07] <mneptok> Aaaaaarrgghh: seeing that you know enough to set a root password, you should know this, too :P
[21:07] <soundray> Aaaaaarrgghh: select recovery mode from the grub menu
[21:07] <genii> I'm really really tempted to let pp who enable root then lock themselves out of it squirm
[21:07] <bastid_raZor> cchance; no, wine has the ability to reboot.. ican't remember the command right off though
[21:07] <newbe1> programs items in task bar at bottom don't go all the way to the left   just mid way   help
[21:07] <mneptok> Aaaaaarrgghh: (meaning, don't do stuff like remove users from admin and set a root password unless you know what you're doing)
[21:08] <ArielMT> cchance: bastid_raZor: wineboot is the command name
[21:08] <lusule> hi there, i'm having problems with my user account - a lot of programs are not starting anymore.  Someone has suggested i append noapic and nolapic to my grub menu and reinstall... is this likely to help, what does it do?
[21:08] <Th3_1n3> Ip spoofing how is it done
[21:08] <cchance> Thanks
[21:08] <HangukMiguk_> ok, once again, how can there be too many files on a hard drive?
[21:08] <zvacet> Aaaaaarrgghh : you will see it at grub select it and after login type adduser username admin   username = yourusername
[21:08] <mneptok> lusule: that will not help
[21:08] <bastid_raZor> ArielMT; thanks,
[21:08] <lusule> mneptok, what does it do?
[21:08] <Jeren> geirha (and kenkku): After chown, everything is working fine with file uploads. Thank you both for your help!
[21:08] <soundray> Th3_1n3: is what you're planning to do in any way legitimate?
[21:08] <mneptok> lusule: the kernel parameter is "acpi=off" and not "noacpi"
[21:09] <mneptok> lusule: it disables ACPI
[21:09] <Th3_1n3> yea its legitimate
[21:09] <lusule> mneptop - they didn't suggest noapci, they suggested noapic and nolapic
[21:09] <soundray> Th3_1n3: can you elaborate?
[21:09] <Aaaaaarrgghh> Can't see it... does xubuntu not use grub?
[21:09] <synusoid> I guess you were right. Even if something is accessing the cd here, it would have nothing to do with Vista. And fuser says nothing is accessing /dev/hda... hmm
[21:09] <ManualOverDozer8> !info acpi > lusule
[21:09] <lusule> mneptok, they mentioned acpi=off as another option i could try but probably shouldn't
[21:09] <HangukMiguk_> ok, for the third time, how can there be "too many files" on a hard drive?
[21:10] <soundray> synusoid: one easy thing to check is whether your drive is set to be a master drive
[21:10] <Th3_1n3> i would like to hide my ip
[21:10] <newbe1> programs items in task bar at bottom don't go all the way to the left   just mid way   help
[21:10] <Th3_1n3> I would like to be anonymouse
[21:10] <soundray> synusoid: oh, hold on, I forgot you're on a brand new laptop
[21:10] <geirha> HangukMiguk_: there's a limit to how many files a filesystem can addresss
[21:10] <soundray> !tor > Th3_1n3

[21:11] <Th3_1n3> how do i view your private message

[21:11] <blubw> Hi all, is KDE 4.1 already avaible in Kubuntu?

[21:12] <Th3_1n3> nm
[21:12] <Th3_1n3> lol
[21:12] <HangukMiguk_> geirha: and why doesn't this lock me out of the hard drive on a windows box?
[21:12] <lusule> ManualOverDozer8, i didn't get the link, and anyway i can't read them because i can't open firefox :(
[21:12] <geirha> HangukMiguk_: I don't know if that is the case. I don't have that much knowledge about fat filesystems, I'm making guesses
[21:12] <soundray> HangukMiguk_: you're clearly miffed. Give your mood some time to settle down, then come back and ask again.
[21:13] <bastid_raZor> blubw; join #kubuntu-kde4 they'll be more help
[21:13] <soundray> HangukMiguk_: just a little hint: when you move a file, you have to create the destination before you remove the target. Make sense?
[21:13] <ManualOverDozer8> lusule basically using things called proxies. most good ones you have to pay for, but some are free, and even then they dont truly hide all information to those who know what to look for

[21:16] <Abed> hey guys i have 2 Operating Systems on 2 Different Machines and I would like to make a network between them the xp's  workgroup is Zaben so any ideas?
[21:16] <filthpig> SeveredCross, okay, thanks. This has been a problem in ubuntu (dunno about other distros) for some time, any idea why it isn't being permanently fixed?
[21:17] <SeveredCross> Abed: sudo apt-get install samba
[21:17] <SeveredCross> filthpig: It's Flash's problem, not Ubuntu's.
[21:17] <milnet> I just started experiencing a weird problem. On my laptop ubuntu boots up fine and gnome seems to load okay. But after a couple minutes of using it my keyboard just totally stops working. Also when I hit the caps lock key the caps lock indicator doesn't light up. Ideas anyone?
[21:17] <Cheese> fglrx: module license 'Proprietary (copyright yada yada)

[21:17] <soundray> Cheese: so it's already loaded

[21:18] <McShane> !pulseaudio | filthpig
[21:18] <SherlawkDragon> hey, anyone know any good WMs that work on Ubuntu?
[21:18] <nikosapi|work> milnet: does it lock up or is it just the keyboard that stops working?
[21:18] <SherlawkDragon> (like XFCE)
[21:18] <filthpig> SeveredCross, yes, but would it be piece of cake to simply include the libflashsupport in a flash metapackage when people download flash?
[21:18] <soundray> SherlawkDragon: ratpoison
[21:18] <lusule> mneptok what's an fsck?  it's not a partition that's the problem, it's literally this user.  another user, with their home in the same partition, is fine
[21:18] <jm2k> where could a i get ALL ubuntu packages in official repository via ISO or tarball?
[21:18] <geirha> HangukMiguk_: according to google, there's a maximum number of files in each directory, I can't find anything of a total ... but anyway, having windows to a scandisk or chkdisk on the drive might fix things
[21:18] <milnet> it locks up but I can still move the mouse.
[21:18] <nikosapi|work> SeveredCross: fluxbox is pretty good
[21:18] <SherlawkDragon> soundray> RatPoison? O..o
[21:19] <explorer0>
[21:19] <soundray> !info ratpoison | SherlawkDragon
[21:19] <Cheese> SeveredCross - channel pastebin?
[21:19] <SeveredCross> !info xmonad | SherlawkDragon
[21:19] <nikosapi|work> milnet: are you able to check your dmesg?
[21:19] <bastid_raZor> SherlawkDragon; i use VMWare.. many people also swear by VirtualBox
[21:19] <SeveredCross> Cheese: No idea if there is one, you can just use pastebin.org
[21:19] <Cheese> oh ok
[21:19] <SherlawkDragon> hmm
[21:19] <soundray> SeveredCross: hey, that's twice the size of ratpoison ;)
[21:19] <SeveredCross> bastid_raZor: He asked about window managers, not virtualization.
[21:19] <newbe1> SeveredCross   found the grabber by the item  Thanks so much
[21:19] <SeveredCross> soundray: Twice the functionality too. :-P
[21:19] <bastid_raZor> Seveas; oh, i misread then.
[21:19] <SeveredCross> (Probably anyway, never used ratpoision)
[21:19] <Lynx_> Why would I get "PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted" when trying to forward X11? It worked a while ago, and I don't think I changed anything...
[21:20] <milnet> check dmesg after rebooting?
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> so, XMONAD, VMware, and VirtualBox...
[21:20] <SeveredCross> Lynx_: I had that a number of times, and the way I fixed it was by removing .Xauthority from $HOME
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> ok, I'll look at those...
[21:20] <SeveredCross> SherlawkDragon: No, Vmware and VirtualBox are virtualization.
[21:20] <SeveredCross> Not window managers.
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> oh, ok
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> heh
[21:20] <bastid_raZor> SherlawkDragon; no, i misread your statement.
[21:20] <Guest44094> may I flame a bit?)
[21:20] <SeveredCross> Look at Xmonad, ratpoison, awesome, ion3, fluxbox, openbox, etc.
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> yeah, ok
[21:20] <SeveredCross> Guest44094: No?
[21:20] <nikosapi|work> milnet: I suppose, but you could use a terminal with and on-screen keyboard
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> so just XMONAD, then
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> heh
