[07:10] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: the newer versions use newer ALSA versions, should be ok
[07:10] <babu__> my emapthy crashes whenever i try to add a new account in irc..pls help
[07:11] <chalcedony> fuga, and other places
[07:11] <bronaugh> mostly there afaik.
[07:11] <noisewaterphd> babu__: empathy sucks
[07:11] <noisewaterphd> babu__: sudo apt-get install xchat
[07:11] <morth> you guys may be asked this alot but, just curious why do YOU use ubuntu?
[07:11] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip I have run sudo alsamixer, and upped volume. No results.
[07:11] <noisewaterphd> babu__: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[07:11] <kroq-gar78> @morth:its fast
[07:12] <noisewaterphd> babu__: sudo apt-get remove --purge empathy
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> morth: I chat and web browse, ubuntu does that, why pay for an OS?
[07:12] <bronaugh> morth: I run Debian or Ubuntu depending on what I want to do. Ubuntu is a great OS in a can -- you pretty much spray it at computer, and it works.
[07:12] <kroq-gar78> morth:a LOT faster...
[07:12] <bronaugh> morth: I like Debian more where I want something robust.
[07:12] <chalcedony> babu__, pidgin is the best of them from what i've seen - but for irc xchat
[07:12] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip: Should I boot to the new partition to do some diag there?
[07:12] <bronaugh> that'll hold up and I can upgrade for year after year.
[07:12] <bronaugh> Ubuntu... fails, there.
[07:12] <babu__> sudo apt-get remove --purge empathy ---> what's that mean?
[07:12] <bronaugh> having to step through each version to upgrade is a joke.
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> bronaugh: its not a rolling release distro
[07:12] <kroq-gar78> babu__: remove empathy
[07:12] <morth> hm makes sense
[07:13] <noisewaterphd> morth: im a developer, everywhere I've ever worked used some flavor of nix
[07:13] <Heinz_L_Maennche> morth, because it is just what i want...and far better than windows
[07:13] <babu__> i'm using empathy for chat...
[07:13] <bronaugh> anyhow, the machine I'm typing on is Ubuntu; so are the two laptops here.
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: burn the MD5 tested natty ISO as slowly as possible and you can boot and install from that, you will need to format the current partitions so that you can install Natty to the free space#
[07:13] <bronaugh> machines I install for people to use at work are invariably ubuntu.
[07:13] <noisewaterphd> morth: I've had to use windows a few times, and it is incredibly frustrating how bad it really is
[07:13] <bronaugh> servers are invariably debian.
[07:14] <wildgoose> !ot | bronaugh
[07:14] <babu__> i wish to continue to use empathy for chat
[07:14] <morth> im more of a Windows user but i want to get more into using linux, i actually prefer ubuntu over win7 already and im a n00b at it i mean i get aggravated when i don't understand something but its quite enjoyable.
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> babu__: what is the output of:  lsb_release -d    Thanks
[07:14] <kroq-gar78> morth: that's what happened to me a little more than one year ago :)
[07:14] <kroq-gar78> babu__: why can't you?
[07:14] <noisewaterphd> bronaugh: I see just as many, if not more, CentOS servers as Debian
[07:14] <morth> any tips i should learn now so i don't have to trial and error like you guys did when you guys were learning linux?
[07:14] <babu__> ubuntu 10.10
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> morth: you'll learn with time
[07:15] <Heinz_L_Maennche> morth, always look for good tutorials and screencasts...they help a lot when u r new to linux/ubuntu
[07:15] <wildgoose> ot | noisewaterphd
[07:15] <kroq-gar78> babu__: so? what's the problem with ubuntu 10.10?
[07:15] <noisewaterphd> bronaugh: but I would agree it is almost always one of the 2
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> babu__: and apt-cache policy empathy   what version is installed?
[07:15] <bronaugh> noisewaterphd: #ubuntu-offtopic?
[07:15] <susundberg> morth: i would recommend read to a book about linux
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> !manual | morth
[07:16] <morth> i should prob start with (dual screen) a firefox on 1 screen and only use the terminal to learn the commands rather than using the UI.
[07:16] <noisewaterphd> i didnt bring it up, i was commenting on a conversation that stemmed from someone asking why to use ubuntu
[07:16] <babu__> empathy:   Installed: 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1   Candidate: 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1   Version table:  *** 2.32.1-0ubuntu1.1 0         500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main i386 Packages         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status      2.32.0-0ubuntu2 0         500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages
[07:16] <noisewaterphd> and he got a lot of good opinions i think
[07:16] <wildgoose> noisewaterphd, Still offtopic.
[07:16] <tanath> after upgrading to 11.04 my wifi no longer works...
[07:16] <morth> that'll get me some practice forcing me to learn the commands to just use it.
[07:16] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the responses...So don't know if I've been clear. I have ubuntu 11.04 alread installed on the other partition, and sound is not working. Are you recommending re-downloading the natty ISO, md5 checking the burned iso, and re-installing?
[07:16] <noisewaterphd> yep, but i was singled out
[07:17] <tanath> i get 'bad password' even though it hasn't changed. all i've done was upgrade to 11.04
[07:17] <Heinz_L_Maennche> morth, yeah...actually you will prefer the shell over everything else after some time on linux^^
[07:17] <bronaugh> noisewaterphd: to me debian's better because of the breadth of packages available in the repositories without frigging around.
[07:17] <Heinz_L_Maennche> and you will start getting aggressive when forced to use windows^^
[07:17] <noisewaterphd> tanath: it may have to do with your keys
[07:17] <tanath> noisewaterphd, only thing that changed was distro upgrade
[07:17] <morth> unfortuantly i play World of Warcraft and im serious on arenas that would prob draw me back to play my Win7 lol
[07:17] <noisewaterphd> tanath: delete the connection and then set it up again
[07:17] <tanath> mmk
[07:17] <morth> other than that im trying to make linux my primary OS
[07:18] <morth> though... i do have WoW working on linux right now haha
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> firstIRCtest: ahh i see, then boot to natty and run the same command there
[07:18] <firstIRCtest> Okay, thanks.
[07:18] <morth> you know what, F--- IT im gunna be a fulltime linux user lol
[07:18] <noisewaterphd> bronaugh: I agree totally, I'm a Deb guy too, I was just pointing out what I see day to day
[07:19] <morth> its so much faster, smoother and no viruses.
[07:19] <bronaugh> noisewaterphd: no disagreement here.
[07:19] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip: I'll be back in a while.
[07:19] <tanath> noisewaterphd, still not working :-/
[07:19] <bronaugh> anyhow, aside from Ubuntu 8.04 being "unsupported" -- anyone else run across this problem?
[07:19] <noisewaterphd> morth: the great thing about Linux is that you can really take control of your machine
[07:19] <bronaugh> where logging in results in keyboard no longer working?
[07:20] <babu__> i hope someone help
[07:20] <tanath> noisewaterphd, spoke too soon... seems to have finally connected
[07:20] <noisewaterphd> tanath: great!
[07:20] <morth> noisewaterphd i agree, i feel win7 is holding me back.
[07:20] <noisewaterphd> babu__: I did help you, I even gave you the exact commands to paste
[07:21] <morth> i also believe win7 has way to many things running in the background i find linux problem free so far.
[07:21] <Jordan_U> bronaugh: "unsupported" means just that.
[07:22] <bronaugh> Jordan_U: right because I'm sure this -never- happens on modern Ubuntu *snort*
[07:22] <morth> are outside links allowed here? (youtube)
[07:23] <noisewaterphd> morth: there is a really great book that I always recommend to new *nix folks called Unix Power Tools. That book is a great start to learning the power of your new OS of choice
[07:23] <morth> its topic related.
[07:23] <noisewaterphd> morth: ya if its on topic
[07:23] <morth> noisewaterphd sweet, ill write that down.
[07:23] <Jordan_U> bronaugh: 8.04 is not supported on the Desktop. This is not going to change. Please don't ask for support for an unsupported release.
[07:24] <morth> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz6TVlo2xyw
[07:24] <bronaugh> Jordan_U: can I verbally abuse you? please?
[07:24] <morth> is that a boot screen? if so.. i want that lol
[07:24] <Jordan_U> !guidelines | bronaugh
[07:26] <morth> did anyone check that link out?
[07:26] <morth> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz6TVlo2xyw
[07:26] <morth> is that a boot screen?
[07:27] <morth> i wouldn't mind that if it is
[07:31] <morth> noisewaterphd are you here?
[07:31] <noisewaterphd> i put an ssd in my macbook pro running ubuntu and boot time is almost non existant
[07:31] <westz> !ping
[07:31] <caminomaster> hi, i'm trying to install ntfs-config for an old feisty installation
[07:31] <Jordan_U> morth: No, as far as I know that's just an animation made for the ad.
[07:31] <caminomaster> i've added old-releases.ubuntu.com to my src.lst, but i can't find that pack
[07:31] <noisewaterphd> morth: ya I watched it, I've never seen that boot screen, but you can totally customize the boot screen to do whatever you want
[07:31] <westz> alright, so i'm wondering if anyone else can install tor? i try installing vidalia and it cant find the tor executable (it's not in the default /usr/bin i checked)
[07:32] <Jordan_U> morth: It might be possible to make a plymouth theme similar to that but it would likely be a lot of work.
[07:32] <morth> noisewaterphd im looking up Unix Power Tools, and there are 3 editions does it matter which?
[07:32] <noisewaterphd> westz: I had no trouble installing vidalia
[07:32] <noisewaterphd> morth: i'd go for the latest
[07:32] <morth> jordan_U true enough, would be nice to have though heh
[07:33] <morth> noisewaterphd cool thanks
[07:33] <westz> noisewaterphd, what release? (of ubuntu)
[07:33] <noisewaterphd> westz: in the bin folder of vidalia there is a startup script that launches a preconfiged firefox along with tor and vidalia
[07:33] <noisewaterphd> westz: 10.10
[07:34] <morth> as for torrents.. which would you recommend?
[07:34] <morth> program wise
[07:35] <widewake> Hello, ive recently downloaded BeneathASteelSky , Its old DOS game, how would i go about removing music? I though i could do it, went digging through files and folders but cant find anything. ?
[07:35] <AlephHaz> rtorrent if you like your CLIs
[07:35] <noisewaterphd> westz: App directory, not bin, sorry
[07:35] <morth> !CLi
[07:35] <westz> but i cant find the actual tor executable
[07:36] <westz> or is that in the vidalia app directory to? (that'd be retarded)
[07:36] <noisewaterphd> westz: so just download, extract, put it wherever you want it, and launch the vidalia script from the comand line
[07:36] <morth> actually thats what i was looking for - but for an IRC
[07:36] <morth> any CLi IRCs?
[07:36] <noisewaterphd> westz: the tor executable is in the same directory, so launch from in that dir
[07:36] <AlephHaz> irssi, morth :)
[07:37] <noisewaterphd> westz, or put that dir on your path
[07:37] <morth> AlephHaz ty
[07:37] <westz> setting the path in vidalia is no problem, it's just really weird that it didnt do all this automatically
[07:38] <morth> do you think there is such thing as too much CLi progrmas?
[07:38] <widewake> Hello, ive recently downloaded BeneathASteelSky , Its old DOS game, how would i go about removing backround music? I though i could do it, went digging through files and folders but cant find anything.
[07:38] <firstIRCtest> ActionParsnip: You still here?
[07:38] <AlephHaz> there's no such thing as too many, morth :P
[07:40] <firstIRCtest> Okay, well, I am trying to troubleshoot sound problems on 11.04. I ran a diag script that ActionParsnip sent. I think he's gone. Anyone want to help?
[07:41] <pksadiq> !irssi
[07:41] <firstIRCtest> Anyone takers?
[07:42] <susundberg> firstIRCtest: did you check with alsamixer that your channels are not muted?
[07:42] <susundberg> (or pavucontrol will do afaik as well)
[07:42] <Zimsky> How do I find out what service is running on a specific port?
[07:43] <firstIRCtest> susaunderberg: yes, I ran alsamixer and adjusted the volume. That has been the problem for me before, but it's not doing it this time.
[07:43] <widewake> trying to remove backround music from a dos game , need help ^^
[07:43] <susundberg> Zimsky: lsof
[07:43] <uragand2> hi
[07:43] <widewake> hi
[07:43] <uragand2> i am waked up already
[07:43] <fuga> Zimsky: netstat
[07:43] <widewake> heh, thats good
[07:44] <pksadiq> firstIRCtest: if you had sound before, try to do the same after a soft restart :)
[07:45] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq: I have an ubuntu 8.04 partition on this very same machine that has sound. This 11.04 partition has no sound. I'm not sure what the difference could be.
[07:45] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq: I just restarted.
[07:45] <susundberg> firstIRCtest: lots of things has changed, starting from kernel and stopping to pulseaudio
[07:45] <susundberg> did you have sound at some point with this 11.04 =
[07:46] <firstIRCtest> I have never had sound on 11.04
[07:46] <pksadiq> !sound
[07:47] <sharat87> Trying to compile imapfilter, when I run `make` in the git repo, I get the error "lua.h not found". I did a "locate lua.h" and saw that it is present at "/usr/include/lua5.1/lua.h". Any ideas on what I might be missing?
[07:47] <firstIRCtest> susunderberg, pksadiq: The output from the script is at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=eead788180f10793b83a851722c94f7ab9a34baf
[07:47] <fuga> firstIRCtest: clean /tmp then check ps -aux and kill evrything not needed then check lsmod etc
[07:47] <pksadiq> !find lua.h
[07:47] <westz> anyone who has vidalia working properly tell me the path for their tor executable?
[07:47] <susundberg> firstIRCtest: that link that pksadiq pasted is good, check that. Also, if you have several outputs you might want to try 'pavucontrol' program to specify what to use
[07:48] <teknova> does anyone know much about dual screening?
[07:48] <noisewaterphd> westz: hang on, I'll pastebin some instructions for you
[07:48] <jbu> Hi all, I realize I can modify fstab, but I remember ubuntu having a GUI utility to manage mount points and even a dialog that would ask if I wanted a partition mounted every startup - anyone know where I can find this?
[07:48] <susundberg> firstIRCtest: i am not too keen to check the script output as if the card worked on 10.04 it should by all means work also on 11.04 if this is not regression, that i do not belive it is.
[07:48] <sharat87> pksadiq: I have both liblua5.1-0-dev and liblua5.1-0 installed (am running maverick)
[07:49] <pksadiq> firstIRCtest: tried running /usr/bin/esd  ?
[07:49] <jbu> <- using 10.10
[07:49] <firstIRCtest> susunderburg: Okay.
[07:49] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq: let me try.
[07:49] <Jordan_U> sharat87: Why are you compiling imapfilter from source?
[07:49] <westz> noisewaterphd, i know how it works, something's got an error somewhere. if your tor is in /usr/bin then something borked when i installed vidalia, if its not, i just need the tor executable
[07:50] <westz> *i just need to redirect vidalia
[07:51] <sharat87> Jordan_U: to use it? wait, is there a package?
[07:51] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq: what is /usr/bin/esd, and how is it run?
[07:51] <babu> every time when i boot ubuntu, it says "Error loading Drive /.Press I to ignore".... But after booting, it mounts all drives..
[07:51] <noisewaterphd> westz: tor and vidalia executables are in the same directory together in the extracted folder from the archive you downloaded. there is nothing in usr/bin. I am pastebin you directions on how to set up your path
[07:51] <babu> i dunno the problem
[07:51] <babu> help!
[07:51] <Jordan_U> sharat87: Yes. Named "imapfilter".
[07:51] <noisewaterphd> westz, but if you dont want it, ive got other stuff to do
[07:51] <fuga> firstIRCtest: that is it kill it
[07:51] <westz> archive i downloaded from? i didnt download it myself, i used the USC
[07:52] <sharat87> Jordan_U: yes found, it sorry. Its at 2.2.2, latest is at 2.2.3. it has a change I'd like to have... so I have to compile it :)
[07:52] <Jordan_U> !prevu | sharat87
[07:52] <babu> what shld i do for this pblm
[07:52] <noisewaterphd> westz, well that is wrong
[07:53] <westz> i'll check out what you pastebin, but i dont think we're on the same page
[07:53] <noisewaterphd> westz, are you running 64bit or 32?
[07:53] <westz> 32
[07:53] <noisewaterphd> westz: download it here: https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/linux/tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-1.1.11-dev-en-US.tar.gz and extract it to wherever you want it
[07:54] <westz> i thought i left compiling from source when i left Arch.... oh well......
[07:55] <Jordan_U> !tor | westz
[07:55] <noisewaterphd> westz, you arent compiling anything
[07:55] <firstIRCtest> ubottu: Checking links...
[07:55] <noisewaterphd> westz just extract the archive
[07:55] <westz> Jordan_U, dude, i know what tor is
[07:56] <Jordan_U> westz: If you read the entire factoid it has a link with repositories containing tor packages.

[08:05] <firstIRCtest> pksadiq, susundberg, ubottu, I checked the links ubottu sent, and I'm finding something about IRQ channels. I did a diff on the output of /cat/proc/asound/cards and the IRQ channels are different. Does this mean anything?
[08:06] <teknova> mostly i need help getting ubnut to reconize them
[08:06] <pratz> noisewaterphd: permission denied
[08:06] <dr_Willis> rtorrent is in the repos morth
[08:06] <noisewaterphd> pratz: is this after multiple attempts at entering your password?
[08:06] <noisewaterphd> pratz: cause that means it's the wrong password
[08:07] <waldo__> hum, i only need some tips for troubleshooting why my connection stopped working all of sudden. Someone?
[08:07] <trevorj> Please, please tell me: WHY in the world does the ubuntu pastebin require me to login to download the contents (that I can already plainly see in front of me) as text?
[08:07] <trevorj> This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
[08:08] <pratz> noisewaterphd: thanks dude
[08:08] <noisewaterphd> trevorj: because they sell your personal data to china
[08:08] <susundberg> trevorj: dont know, use other pastebin?
[08:09] <westz> why must mcdonalds use b-band routersband routers are much cheaper now :(? g and n
[08:09] <trevorj> susundberg: I do, I'm just wondering what thought was involved in such a decision
[08:09] <waldo__> hum, is anybody seeing what I type or am i also having a problem with irc client on mac?
[08:09] <o2oo> thanks
[08:10] <susundberg> trevorj: yeah me too.. i decided to change my pastes to elswehere ..
[08:10] <waldo__> can you read this?
[08:11] <susundberg> waldo__: no
[08:11] <trevorj> susundberg: lol, good enough then. ty.
[08:11] <pratz> hey guys any good app to share screen between windows and linux ??
[08:11] <waldo__> haha, thanks. I thought it wasnt working
[08:11] <trevorj> pratz: oss?
[08:12] <knoppies> pratz, vnc? (or even RDP?) What do you mean by share screen?
[08:12] <trevorj> pratz: I haven't tried it but it looks really cool and is OSS, but I can't remember the name.. I think it's winswitch?
[08:12] <noisewaterphd> pratz: vnc
[08:13] <trevorj> pratz: http://winswitch.org/index.html
[08:13] <waldo__> so, if someone could help me with a strange problem in internet connection i would be grateful
[08:13] <morth> noisewaterphd i just downloaded rTorrent .tar.gz and extracted it to my desktop how do i install it :s
[08:13] <cpgo> has anyone successfully setup a dual boot with windows and a shared mysql data folder. I had mysql installed on windows already with tables made. Now in ubuntu I changed the datadir to the windows mount, I log into phpmyadmin and I see no databases listed
[08:14] <noisewaterphd> morth: I don't know
[08:14] <trevorj> pratz: it's like VNC (uses VNC on the backend) but for starting, sharing, displaying, and moving applications from one computer's desktop to another from windows/linux/mac
[08:14] <morth> noisewaterphd okay, thanks anyways
[08:14] <noisewaterphd> morth: i recommend: sudo apt-get install tramsmission
[08:15] <firstIRCtest> Anybody on the question about IRQ? What does this mean, and is it significant if the channel is different on this partition?
[08:15] <noisewaterphd> morth: better client, easier install
[08:15] <morth> transmission bittorrent client?
[08:15] <noisewaterphd> morth: transmission, sorry i spelled it wrong up there
[08:16] <susundberg> cpgo: are you sure installed windows and linux mysql servers are compatible?
[08:16] <noisewaterphd> morth: or, transmission is also just in the Ubuntu Software Center under Internet>File Sharing
[08:16] <susundberg> it might be that they work on very different basis because of efficiency issues or similar ..
[08:16] <noisewaterphd> morth: yes its a bittorrent client
[08:17] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: permissions, permissions, permissions
[08:19] <kelvinella> how to install backend for empathy?
[08:19] <kelvinella> i install empathy on my netbook which is running ubuntu8.04, but i can not connect because it said i need to install backend.  How to do that?
[08:19] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, I set to owner and group to mysql
[08:19] <knoppies> what does "apt-get check" do? If I add *.deb to /var/cache/apt/archives/ will "apt-get check" make apt aware that it doesnt have to download them?
[08:20] <trevorj> cpgo: the binary format is the same across OSes?
[08:20] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, also added the new dir to apparmor, restarting everything
[08:20] <cpgo> trevorj, that I don't know
[08:20] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: what filesystem is the datadir on
[08:20] <widewake> trying to turn off music to a DOS game, need help please, i tried locating it couldn't find any sound files.
[08:20] <trevorj> cpgo: I guess it would depend on the engine
[08:20] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, ntfs
[08:20] <cowboy_dan> this distro blows
[08:21] <xbob> lol
[08:21] <pratz> hey guys but VNC free edition does not provide the feature to share on windows 7
[08:21] <trevorj> ^ intelligent
[08:21] <trevorj> pratz: did you see the link I sent you
[08:21] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: cause that is where the issue lies. there is some problem with mysql on linux reading from ntfs
[08:21] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: dont remember the specifics
[08:22] <susundberg> cpgo, noisewaterphd wel googling gave me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3524203/linux-mysql-how-to-use-a-mysql-databases-on-a-mounted-ntfs-as-mysql-database-in
[08:22] <cowboy_dan> will ubuntu ever release an Arch based spin instead of the lame debian based ones?
[08:22] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, ok I just copied the datadir to my desktop (in Ubuntu)
[08:22] <cpgo> same issue
[08:22] <noisewaterphd> what is the error
[08:22] <pratz> trevorj: hold a sec i am installing it
[08:22] <cpgo> phpmyadmin shows no tables
[08:23] <Jordan_U> !ot | cowboy_dan
[08:23] <cowboy_dan> you could make an ext3 in the ntfs?
[08:23] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: your datadir should be portable, but trying to read it from the ntfs system is a road I wouldnt travel
[08:24] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: if you look in the datadir are they there?
[08:24] <cowboy_dan> cpgo: you can make a ext3/4 in the ntfs to store the data
[08:24] <stefan_> Hi, my pc does not boot from a SD Card, I have brought a Remastersys ISO on in with the startmedium creator. He boots from Harddrive instead. My PC can boot from SD and 30 minutes ago, it did.  What can I do to find out, what the problem is?
[08:24] <kelvinella> anyone know how to make empathy work?
[08:24] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, yea my tables are in the datadir
[08:24] <kelvinella> in ubuntu8.04
[08:24] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: permissions then
[08:24] <cpgo> the datadir is now on a ext4 filesystem
[08:25] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: get a verbose startup log and pastebin it
[08:25] <cpgo> ok let me go through it all again
[08:25] <balaji_> when login as "ubuntu classic",title bar for windows is not coming. what may be the problem?
[08:25] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: also, you should take this to #mysql, I'll meet you over there
[08:25] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, ok
[08:26] <Starminn> balaji_: Do you have Compiz setting in effect, and/or Emerald themes?
[08:26] <cowboy_dan> how to install TWM?
[08:26] <noisewaterphd> balaji_: that question needs to be rephrased, it does not make sense
[08:26] <knoppies> balaji_, you need to have a WM (I assume its your WM) running. I use emerald (with compiz) on 10.10, not sure what to use on 11.04
[08:26] <cowboy_dan> Jordan_U: how to install TWM?
[08:26] <knoppies> noisewaterphd, I think the question was fine. Do you understand what a title bar is?
[08:26] <kelvinella> hello, anyone knows how to install a backend for each protocol for empathy?
[08:27] <noisewaterphd> no man, I have no idea
[08:27] <noisewaterphd> would it be a bar where titles are?
[08:27] <knoppies> kelvinella, if you "apt-get empathy" doesnt it resolve dependencies?
[08:27] <knoppies> noisewaterphd, yes, and the 3 buttons minimize, maximize, and close.
[08:27] <cowboy_dan> HOW TO INSTALL TWM?!!!
[08:28] <balaji_> starmin: i installed faenza theme, when using "ubuntu classic(no effects)" menu bar displays correctly
[08:28] <balaji_> noisewaterphd:sorry its menu bar
[08:28] <noisewaterphd> title bar for windows are not coming? coming from where? title bars for what windows? all windows?
[08:28] <Starminn> balaji_: Oh, you mean the one with "File, Edit, Tools," etc?
[08:28] <Jordan_U> cowboy_dan: Please don't use all caps.
[08:28] <balaji_> starminn:yeah
[08:28] <noisewaterphd> aha, see now we make sense
[08:28] <knoppies> cowboy_dan, relax, You could do yourself a favour by googling it, if twm is a package, then you could try "apt-get install twm" but idk what twm is.
[08:28] <cowboy_dan> Jordan_U: please help
[08:28] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, how would I get a verbose startup?
[08:29] <cowboy_dan> knoppies: tittled window manager
[08:29] <Jordan_U> cowboy_dan: I don't use TWM.
[08:29] <knoppies> balaji_, then my help with compiz/emerald would probably be of no use to you.
[08:29] <noisewaterphd> cowboy_dan: http://tinyurl.com/3vl9q9u
[08:29] <cowboy_dan> Jordan_U: what? is something wrong with it?
[08:29] <balaji_> noisewaterphd:sorry for my wrong phrase.
[08:30] <Jordan_U> cowboy_dan: Not that I know of. I just haven't had any interest in it myself.
[08:30] <sgo11> hello, how to change encoding in gedit? I failed to find this option. thanks. I used to using kate/kwrite, encoding change is very easy in kate/kwrite.
[08:30] <balaji_> knoppies:no problem
[08:31] <noisewaterphd> balaji_: no worries man. I was going after whoever it was passively insulting me by pretending the question was crystal clear. You are perfectly good man, and the question is now clear
[08:31] <cowboy_dan> noisewaterphd: you very kind
[08:31] <noisewaterphd> and funny
[08:32] <thrillERboy> Hi, I've setup conky on startup, but it appears on top of all windows, its quite annoying, how do I fix it? Thanks :)
[08:32] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: change you conkyrc
[08:32] <thrillERboy> cowboy_dan, what exactly should I change? I'm new to this stuff
[08:33] <cowboy_dan> cat ~/.conkyrc | grep window
[08:33] <cpgo> noisewaterphd, hey its 1 in the morning here, gonna call it a day. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
[08:33] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: should see own window type somewhere
[08:33] <cowboy_dan> change it to desktop, or overridde, or something that it isn't right now
[08:34] <noisewaterphd> cpgo: good luck, good night, were in the same time zone, MST?
[08:34] <balaji_> noisewaterphd:fine
[08:35] <thrillERboy> I don't see .conkyrc in user directory, I only have .conky directory under user directory
[08:35] <Jacek1988> hey guys. Every time I try to boot my ubuntu I get "failed to get i915 symbols". I've googled for the last hours and I found a few solutions but they all assume I can boot ubuntu, unfortunately I cant ...
[08:35] <noisewaterphd> Jacek1988: do you have multiple window managers installed
[08:35] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: pastebin it for me mate
[08:36] <noisewaterphd> like kubuntu and gnome and windowmaker?
[08:36] <cowboy_dan> .conky lets take a look at it
[08:36] <Jordan_U> Jacek1988: What version of Ubuntu? Have  you tried booting into recovery mode? (hold shift during boot to get the grub menu with recovery mode option).
[08:36] <Jacek1988> the newest one
[08:37] <Jacek1988> 11.X
[08:37] <Jacek1988> ok, I will try with shift
[08:37] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: bro....pastebin whatever your conky config file is
[08:37] <cowboy_dan> it should be conkyrc
[08:37] <thrillERboy> cowboy_dan, I've found own_window desktop in my config file and set it to desktop, Now My icons on desktop are gone :D should I do something with "own_window_type override" Now?
[08:38] <cowboy_dan> yeah try that
[08:38] <thrillERboy> what options does own_window_type take?
[08:38] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: i use openbox so i don't have to worry about eating desktop icons
[08:38]  * thrillERboy googles openbox
[08:39] <Jacek1988> @noise. I haven't installed any windowmaker myself, but maybe that was installed by default ?\
[08:39] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: own_window_type
[08:39] <cowboy_dan>     if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock, panel or override (default: normal). Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. Panel windows reserve space along a desktop edge, just like panels and taskbars, preventing maximized windows from overlapping them. The edg
[08:39] <cowboy_dan> e is chosen based on the alignment option. Override windows are not under the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.

[08:41] <somestrangerinan> hello guys!
[08:42] <somestrangerinan> is anyone here that can help me with servers and clusters?
[08:42] <cowboy_dan> somestrangerinan: whats you issue
[08:42] <sgo11> hi, how to change encoding in gedit? is that possible? I can not find the option. thanks.
[08:42] <somestrangerinan> thanks cowboy_dan for replying so quickly
[08:42] <cowboy_dan> sgo11: what do you mean encoding?
[08:43] <somestrangerinan> cowboy_dan: I have 3 servers running ubuntu and i would like to make them into render farms, what are some good options I can pick from that will support 3d rendering
[08:43] <sgo11> cowboy_dan, utf-8, utf-16 etc...
[08:43] <thrillERboy> cowboy_dan, Here my theme config http://pastebin.com/Erup0r4J

[08:44] <topriddy> hello
[08:45] <somestrangerinan> cowboy_dan: sure
[08:45] <pratz> hey guys i just need to share machine between two machines, i want to show my friend something on my screen, but should not be able to manupilate (take control)  my screen
[08:45] <Jacek1988> @Jordan_U Is there any way to change boot options in GRUB and start only the linux shell instead of X ?
[08:45] <cowboy_dan> sgo11: you probably don't need to do that?
[08:45] <Jordan_U> Jacek1988: That is what recovery mode does.
[08:45] <cowboy_dan> pratz: ask google
[08:45] <topriddy> my colleague at work messed up his windows partition boot sector after installing ubuntu 11. I cant remember the way to boot windows manually from grub. anybody help me pls?
[08:45] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: give me a second
[08:45] <somestrangerinan> cowboy_dan: we have 3 of theses
[08:46] <thrillERboy> np :)
[08:46] <Jordan_U> !google | cowboy_dan
[08:46] <pratz> cowboy_dan: if every thing is google then what the hell are we doing here ??
[08:46] <somestrangerinan> cowboy_dan: same specs
[08:46] <sgo11> cowboy_dan, I have many files with different encodings. if I don't do that, I can not open them. gedit will open everything in utf-8 only. in kate/kwrite, it's very easy, just tools-->encoding--> choose one. in gedit, I can not find such option. thanks.
[08:46] <Jordan_U> !language | pratz
[08:47] <ejv> Jordan_U is having far too much fun with ubottu
[08:47] <topriddy> i know it has something to do with grub and initrd
[08:47] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: try this http://pastebin.com/index/Erup0r4J
[08:47] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: save the old conky config as conky.old
[08:48] <ejv> pratz: i'd try researching VNC

[08:48] <AFD> is it possible to remove avg on a mounted windows hdd using ubuntu?
[08:49] <Jordan_U> topriddy: If the Windows PBR is broken the only way to boot Windows from grub is by fixing the Windows PBR (*There is an undocumented work around as well if you really need it but fixing it properly is a better option).
[08:49] <knoppies> AFD, you mean other than just deleting the files?
[08:49] <ejv> whats avg...
[08:49] <AFD> yeah - I think there's more to it than that
[08:49] <knoppies> ejv, its a windows based antivirus.
[08:49] <ejv> eww
[08:49] <cowboy_dan> sgo11: than install kate
[08:49] <soon> Would someone try to reproduce a bug for me? I open LibreOffice Base, create a table and a form and when editing the form, I'm not able to select Controlelements as a visible toolbar
[08:50] <ejv> antivirus? we dont need no stinkin antivirus!
[08:50] <cowboy_dan> somestrangerinan: do you want this to be a linux based set up still?
[08:50] <knoppies> ejv, he was trying to 'remove' it
[08:50] <Jordan_U> topriddy: For restoring the Windows PBR: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector
[08:50] <cowboy_dan> pratz: what are you trying to do again?
[08:50] <knoppies> AFD, could you not boot up the partition and then uninstall it using the traditional means?
[08:50] <ejv> it was a joke, s/antivirus/badges/g
[08:50] <somestrangerinan> yes cow
[08:50] <AFD> ejv: I'm a linux user (ElementaryOS) but the doofus I'm trying to help isn't (yet)
[08:50] <balooo> hi, does anyone know of a good light rss reader for ubuntu, that can be partially transparent and just float on top of your other applications with out getting in the way?   yarssr is the least intrusive rss reader i've been able to find so far.
[08:50] <somestrangerinan> yes cowboy_dan
[08:50] <sgo11> cowboy_dan, thanks for the suggestion. actually, I just did. the bad thing is to install kate, actually i install kde. it's too much for me just because I want to use a better editor......
[08:51] <AFD> knoppies: avg is the reason I can't boot that hdd
[08:51] <knoppies> AFD, what is elementaryOS like? It looked like it had lots of potential.
[08:51] <cowboy_dan> somestrangerinan: you'll have better luck with this in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org --> not as noisy
[08:51] <somestrangerinan> thanks cowboy_dan
[08:51] <AFD> knoppies: it's stopping (even when trying in "safe mode") on a file that looks like it's avg
[08:52] <AFD> knoppies: eOS is great :) give it a whirl on liveUSB sometime... and look out for the new release Luna
[08:52] <cowboy_dan> pratz: http://digg.com/news/story/Remote_Desktop_for_Linux
[08:52] <soon> Anyone care to try and reproduce my bug? ...it'll take a minute or so..
[08:53] <furibondox> hi...
[08:53] <knoppies> AFD, interesting, didnt know it could prevent you from booting. Try move (as in cut) the files from their installed location, and keep them somewhere else. Then see if it will boot. Normally un-installing makes a few changes to the registry, I am not sure if there are any linux registry editors, but you could try search for AVG (and other related keywords) in that registry.
[08:53] <cowboy_dan> somestrangerinan: #pimpmymint might be even better
[08:53] <Starminn> soon: If you walk me through how I'd be mroe than happy to do so. I have created a table and a form, but what about controlelemnts? I know nothing about Base.
[08:53] <CajunTechie> Hey everyone. Anyone know of a way to sync Chromium bookmarks with Ubuntu One?

[08:54] <somestrangerinan> lol
[08:54] <Jacek1988> @Jordan_U: thanks anyway for  help. It seems that without access to recovery mode I cannot even run the console so the only way is to reinstall the system ... next time I will have to use GIT to my ruby projects

[08:57] <Hansimat> I am looking for an unattended Ubuntu installation. I found preseed and FAI. FAI sounds more interesting, especially preseed does not seem to support reusing of partitions. On the other hand the preseed method is easy to setup.  Does FAI work well with Ubuntu?
[08:57] <cowboy_dan> CajunTechie: yeah few and far between, saw someone on #! forums from covington and laughed my but off

[08:59] <furibondox> anyone knows how to extract the license from a deb package?
[08:59] <ejv> morth: do you have openssl installed?
[08:59] <thrillERboy> cowboy_dan, That worked perfectly, wondering what you changed, I didn't want you to bug you asking that, So, I tried diff conkyrc_lunatico conkyrc_lunatico.old. The output is not what I expected. How can I view diff between two files in terminal, Kinda like diff in Git. Thanks
[08:59] <stefan_> knoppies, well, should  I give it a try on DVD? I have  a dozen here
[08:59] <thrillERboy> didn't want to bug you*
[08:59] <morth> ejv im new to ubuntu, so im assuming i don't
[08:59] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: all i did was change the window type to override and deleted the line for own_window_hints
[08:59] <ejv> morth: sudo apt-get install openssl
[09:00] <knoppies> furibondox, no, but I assume that there might be something in dpkg (you could also try apt-cache). I recommend you man them both and see if there is something that will give you 'more info'

[09:00] <FloodBot1> morth: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:00] <knoppies> furibondox, alternatively, you could try open it up using an archive viewer (I am not sure what a .deb package really is)
[09:00] <furibondox> tnx knoppies, I try with apt-cache
[09:00] <goodjoy1003> Hi all
[09:00] <Starminn> soon: That option does nothing
[09:00] <furibondox> ok
[09:00] <ejv> morth: show some respect to the channel, don't flood for christ's sake lol
[09:00] <knoppies> morth, PLEASE, learn how to use a pastebin.
[09:00] <morth> ejv seems i already have that installed
[09:00] <cowboy_dan> thrillERboy: no problem if you ever need help find MrCleanWithHair (thats the me when I'm not trolling in #ubuntu)
[09:01] <soon> Starminn .. thats what I'm finding .. weird.
[09:01] <soon> Not just my installation then - thanks!
[09:01] <knoppies> stefan_, you mean ubuntu, yes, go for it. Before you do, Is the ISO on your SD card just a .iso file, or has it been unpacked onto the root of the partition?
[09:01] <ejv> morth: if you are compiling and it's complaining about openssl, then it wants developer libraries, $ sudo apt-get install openssl-devel
[09:02] <morth> E: Unable to locate package openssl-devel
[09:02] <cowboy_dan> fagbuntu
[09:03] <knoppies> morth, ejv has a point. I have recently learnt that you should install the -dev of the package. try openssl-dev (or use apt-cache search openssl)
[09:03] <pksadiq> !find openssl-dev
[09:03] <ejv> it might be called openssl-dev not openssl-devel, i really have no idea, i don't use ubuntu
[09:04] <thrillERboy> Hi, How Do I view Diff between two text files in Terminal?
[09:04] <morth> knoppies & ejv E: Unable to locate package openssl-dev
[09:04] <ejv> just learn to troubleshoot
[09:04] <knoppies> morth try  libglobus-openssl-dev
[09:04] <jfcaron> Whenever I run apt-get, I get an error message: "WARNING: /usr/share/pyshared/papyon-0.4.6.egg-info is linked but does not belong to any package."  I tried apt-get --reinstalling python-papyon, with no luck.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of this error message?
[09:04] <ejv> i think he has a repo problem
[09:04] <ejv> what repo's do you have enabled morth
[09:04] <knoppies> jfcaron, you could try purge and then install it again, but tbh, I have no idea.
[09:04] <ejv> if you can't answer that, fire up synaptic, and located openssl dev that way ;)
[09:05] <morth> knoppies that worked
[09:05] <ejv> s/located/locate/
[09:05] <knoppies> morth, come back if it does not solve your ./configure problem.
[09:05] <ejv> oh so knoppies gets all the credit huh? fine! :p
[09:05] <knoppies> ejv, you didnt highlight his name. THANK YOU.
[09:06] <knoppies> and thank you pksadiq for finding the package.
[09:06] <ejv> highlighting is overrated :p
[09:06] <pksadiq> jfcaron: try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[09:07] <ejv> im willing to bet rtorrent is packaged into a nice pretty .deb somewhere... which begs the question... why on earth is he bothering to compile it...
[09:07] <pksadiq> !find rtorrent
[09:07] <jfcaron> knoppies: After apt-get purging python-papyon, I still got the error afterwards, and the file mentioned still exists (along with some dpkg scripts).  Do you think I can just rm the leftover files?
[09:07] <pksadiq> !info rtorrent
[09:08] <morth> knoppies & ejv http://paste.ubuntu.com/634101/
[09:08] <knoppies> jfcaron, I recomend you move them, so that you can move them back in case something goes wrong.
[09:08] <jfcaron> pksadiq: Running that command seemed to do nothing, there was no output.
[09:08] <morth> ejv you get credit too :p
[09:08] <pksadiq> jfcaron: k, also try sudo apt-get install -f
[09:08] <ejv> morth: ok install that
[09:09] <knoppies> morth, now you need to find the -dev of sigc++
[09:09] <darkenergy> how can I print my server name on cli?
[09:09] <ejv> morth: if it says "$DEPENDENCY not found' locate it and install it
[09:09] <knoppies> darkenergy, hostname
[09:09] <pksadiq> !find sigc++
[09:09] <dr_Willis> what we compuling?
[09:10] <ejv> rtorrent apparently
[09:10] <knoppies> dr_Willis, you mean morth? rtorrent I think.
[09:10] <pksadiq> morth: try asking ubottu for the packages, mostly its better to get the compiled thing you need
[09:10] <stefan_> knoppies, I made a Startmedium with the Startmediumcreater. That should "transform" the CD Card to a bootable Medium. Well, it should :D
[09:10] <knoppies> morth, unless you HAVE to compile it, it might be easier to do apt-get install rtorrent
[09:10] <pksadiq> !info rtorrent > morth
[09:10] <dr_Willis> its in the repos.. or use the build-deps option to pull in all needed devs
[09:10] <ejv> that would be too easy
[09:11] <ejv> :)
[09:11] <knoppies> dr_Willis, what build-deps option?
[09:11] <dr_Willis> apt-get build-deos rtorrent
[09:11] <dr_Willis> oopd typo
[09:11] <dr_Willis> apt is fun
[09:11] <knoppies> dr_Willis, thank you. I learnt something today.
[09:11] <balaji_> when using "ubuntu classic",menu bar is not displaying.. what may be the problem? if it was the problem in my system,how can i reinstall gnome
[09:12] <dr_Willis> the fact iys in the repos makes life easier
[09:12] <knoppies> dr_Willis, I have been trying to create a local repo of some files I downloaded from a server and then copied to my machine. Little luck. apt is very fun.
[09:12] <morth> okay, sorry what?
[09:12] <sgo11> hi, for photo browser, I used to gthumb. I am wondering if there is any better one now? thanks.
[09:13] <dr_Willis> rtorrent ppa ptobrly exisys also
[09:13] <knoppies> morth do you HAVE to compile rtorrent from scratch? If yes, then try apt-get build-deps rtorrent
[09:13] <morth> lmao, im new to ubuntu i installed it this morning, and the "guide" from the net says to do ./configure and such but fails lol
[09:14] <jfcaron> knoppies, pksadiq: After doing some unremembered combination of commands (including moving the offending file to a temporary location), the error message is now gone.
[09:14] <knoppies> how do I ping an ip range (to find all machines online (or at least all IPs online). sudo nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>-254 doesnt seem to do anything.
[09:14] <knoppies> jfcaron, glad we could help. I hope we haven't broken anything else on your machine.
[09:14] <jfcaron> I think the egg-info file was leftover from an old version (4.6) while the current version is 4.8, so reinstalling did nothing, because it just reinstalled the new version. =p
[09:14] <morth> knoppies stupid question but how do i KNOW if i HAVE to compile it or not?
[09:15] <lonix> morth: then you dont
[09:16] <morth> what do i do then?.. :s
[09:16] <lonix> morth: you need to compile from source if you are useing a non default build, i.e. inserting anything into rtorrent
[09:16] <knoppies> morth, if you dont know, then you probably dont have to. Reasons for compiling (over just installing a pre-compiled binary) would be things like: newer version, or a plugin, or some functionality that they did not include in the compiled binary. I think you should try apt-get install rtorrent
[09:16] <dr_Willis> why havent you just used the version in the repos.
[09:16] <lonix> morth: sudo apt-get install rtorrent
[09:16] <lonix> knoppies: you forgot sudo :P
[09:16] <jfcaron> morth: The only times I've ever had to compile something were when there was no package available in the repositories.
[09:16] <knoppies> lonix, thanks.
[09:16] <dr_Willis> its not like a new version has a lot of new features
[09:17] <lonix> moslty the precompiled bin will work just fine...
[09:17] <morth> lols... rtorrent is already the newest version.
[09:17] <morth> does that mean its already installed? :s
[09:18] <lonix> yes
[09:18] <dr_Willis> morth:  so run it..
[09:18] <dr_Willis> read its docs first
[09:18] <dr_Willis> you do relize rtorrent is a cli app
[09:19] <lonix> i dont know rtorrent in particular, but i presume the docs will help you create a config file for later use ?
[09:19] <dr_Willis> rtorrent is not very beginner frienfly. why are you even wantint it?
[09:20] <morth> dr_willis yes i do realize rtorrent is a CLi app, even though my skills are beginner im hoping its going to improve my overall skills with ubuntu etc.
[09:20] <lonix> is this a ubuntu server or desktop ?
[09:20] <morth> desktop
[09:20] <bumknees> #stumpwm
[09:20] <dr_Willis> torrent some bash guides.. heh..
[09:20] <lonix> hehe
[09:20] <Starminn> dr_Willis: By the way, my Banshee issue lately with the errors? It was solved using what's on the bottom of this page (for future reference if other people experience the same)
[09:20] <pksadiq> dr_Willis: YOU are having *alot* of experience, but still along many typos :-O
[09:21] <morth> actually my first torrent was going to be Unix Power Tools
[09:21] <dr_Willis> pksadiq:  im on my android phone
[09:21] <dr_Willis> still not found a good bt keybord for it
[09:22] <morth> dr_willis how do i run it?
[09:22] <lonix> Im still waiting for Ubuntu 11.04 Phone Edition
[09:22] <dr_Willis> or even an affordable one
[09:22] <lonix> "the Ultimate replacment for android"
[09:22] <dr_Willis> morth:  man rtorrent
[09:22] <morth> nevermind figured it out lol "rtorrent run"
[09:23] <dr_Willis> with rtorrent you Will read the docs. or give up using it. heh..
[09:24] <dr_Willis> its homepage hss guides also

[09:27] <lonix> how can i use " in sed ?
[09:28] <Jordan_U> lonix: sed 's/"/that was a quote/g'
[09:28] <darshan> hello
[09:28] <dr_Willis>  /" \"
[09:28] <dr_Willis> i get them backeards
[09:29] <lonix>  sed 's/$/\"/'
[09:29] <lonix> should work ?
[09:29] <darshan> i was wondering where Empathy puts the conversation logs in the last ubuntu
[09:30] <Jordan_U> lonix: Yes, though the '\' is redundant.
[09:30] <lonix> Jordan_U: do you have a few mins to check out a simple script, im having troubble with ?
[09:31] <Jordan_U> lonix: I need to leave in about 2 minutes but post a link to a pastebin of the script and someone else will likely be able to help.
[09:31] <epzil0n> darshan: what do you mean by in the last ubuntu?
[09:31] <fajri> see http://goo.gl/TAyvJ
[09:32] <vivekimsit> any one here working on openerp?
[09:32] <fajri> Pastes to http://goo.gl/ixcN9
[09:32] <lonix> Jordan_U: kk
[09:32] <darshan> e mean 11.04
[09:32] <lonix> http://pastebin.com/n9PL73vR
[09:32] <epzil0n> darshan: can't you see that in settings?
[09:32] <OssNassr> Hello!!:)
[09:32] <lonix> This script seems to work perfectly untill it encounters folders with " " space in its name
[09:32] <jussi> vivekimsit: working on? or using?
[09:32] <jussi> vivekimsit: what is your real question? :)
[09:33] <OssNassr> I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop
[09:33] <vivekimsit> hm..actually i want technical assistance
[09:33] <vivekimsit> in coding part..
[09:33] <lonix> OssNassr: what seems to be the problem ?
[09:33] <darshan> epzil0n, no, i did not find it
[09:33] <jussi> vivekimsit: do they not have a channel?
[09:33] <OssNassr> which is ASUS X61SL with Intel Core 2duo p8400 processor
[09:33] <kiichiro> hey
[09:33] <ejv> !enter | OssNassr
[09:33] <OssNassr> but i can't make it run after the  installation is complete
[09:34] <vivekimsit> they have but i can hardly 9 people
[09:34] <epzil0n> darshan: ok, should be there.. i'm not in ubuntu now so can't check but i can log into ubuntu and have a look
[09:34] <kiichiro> is there a way to view the processes that are running
[09:35] <jussi> vivekimsit: its probably wrong place to ask here, this is really for ubuntu support.
[09:35] <Jordan_U> lonix: 1: It should be "#!/bin/bash" not "!/bin/sh". 2: Use find's -exec feature to completely replace the for loop.
[09:35] <darshan> kiichiro, ps ax
[09:35] <epzil0n> kiichiro: type top in a terminal
[09:35] <vivekimsit> hmm..i know
[09:35] <Jordan_U> lonix: You can get more help in ##bash as well. Good luck.
[09:35] <lonix> OssNassr: what do you mean it wont work ? can you be any more spesific
[09:35] <lonix> Jordan_U: cheers ;)
[09:35] <OssNassr> inorder to make the live CD starts or to run the installtion I had to use the advanced option acpi=off but I can't tell the system after being installed to work
[09:35] <kiichiro> is there a way to stop a process than?
[09:36] <epzil0n> kiichiro: yes by it's PID you see it with top
[09:36] <kiichiro> like is it stop #####
[09:36] <OssNassr> inorder to make the live CD starts or to run the installtion I had to use the advanced option acpi=off but I can't tell the system after being installed to work
[09:36] <kiichiro> or is it kill
[09:36] <epzil0n> kiichiro: then type: kill 1234
[09:36] <kiichiro> mkay thank you very much
[09:37] <lonix> acpi=off was set in the boot loader for the live cd ?
[09:38] <darshan> any idea?
[09:38] <epzil0n> darshan: looking..
[09:38] <lonix> OssNassr: In that case, tyr booting Ubuntu with the same option, in the bootloader for the local driver where you have ubuntu installed
[09:38] <brez> Hi, I installed 'eggrop' via apt-get... where would this of installed, so I can locate the .conf? thanks.
[09:39] <darshan> epzil0n, thanks
[09:39] <OssNassr> How?
[09:40] <lonix> OssNassr: Same way you did for livecd, or am i missing something here ?
[09:40] <epzil0n> darshan: can't see it in settings, only that you can enable/disable the logging
[09:40] <morth> woot using rtorrent like a pro ;)
[09:40] <lonix> morth: good...
[09:41] <glaksmono_> how do you change folder's permission to: drwxrwxr-x  33 nobody     nobody  1122 Jun 27 17:20 templates_c ???
[09:41] <darshan> epzil0n, foud it! /home/darshan/.local/share/TpLogger/logs/
[09:41] <glaksmono_> it's chown?
[09:41] <epzil0n> darshan: hehe, i was just digging in the home dir.. great =)
[09:41] <lonix> glaksmono_: chown = change owner chgrp = change grou chmod = change mod
[09:42] <OssNassr> In live CD I clicked the arrow keys and a menu appeared there I found the other option choice (key F6) and I used it ,I tried with the system after it got installed by pressing 'e' inorder to modify the booting options but It didn't work
[09:42] <lonix> glaksmono_: chown can cange group as well i.e.: chown user:group file/folder
[09:42] <darshan> what a awful format! xml...
[09:43] <epzil0n> darshan: yeah i'm looking at it ;)
[09:43] <lonix> glaksmono_: chmod root:admin templates_c
[09:43] <jtannenbaum> okay, so in my /etc/hosts file I have a bunch of lines <IP_ADDRESS> [domain name]. Now, the domain name of the topmost line of that type is reflected in my POST data when I visit websites it seems
[09:44] <jtannenbaum> POST['SERVER_NAME']
[09:44] <jtannenbaum> according to django at least
[09:44] <jtannenbaum> this makes my POST["TZ"] as Chicago for some reason
[09:44] <lonix> OssNassr: what happend when you presed e
[09:45] <darshan> ok, i also need a decent dictionary utility (not a spellcheck) there was a good one some version ago
[09:45] <LegGnom> Есть кто на русском бачит?
[09:45] <epzil0n> darshan: elementary uses purple
[09:45] <knoppies> I have installed ubuntu server (the LTS version, Im not sure if its 10.04) on an old machine. the hostname of the machine is safn. I cannot seem to do safn.local (but typing in the IP works). Does anybody know how to fix this (I have apache installed, if that makes a difference)
[09:46] <lonix> knoppies: how does you /etc/hosts look like
[09:46] <knoppies> lonix, let me check.
[09:46] <epzil0n> darshan: but they will move to Lingo.. anyways elementary os builds upon ubuntu so they probably work
[09:47] <lonix> knoppies: check /etc/hostname while your at it
[09:47] <knoppies> lonix, I almost pasted it in here, let me pastbin it.
[09:47] <OssNassr> after the installation was compeleted I restarted the laptop as instructed the when it came to boot it didn't  and I wated for ours ,so I used the power button to shutdown the laptop and then started it again then it gave me a menu with for option : normal startup ,recovery mode,and two options about memory testing so I selected the first option and pressed 'e' to edit the boot parameters and inserted acpi=off then I pressed 'F10' b
[09:48] <OssNassr> hours
[09:48] <OssNassr> four
[09:48] <morth> anyone know if its possible to convert your cookies/history/saved passwords from Windows Firefox to Ubuntu?
[09:48] <Starminn> morth: Just use Firefox Sync..
[09:49] <knoppies> lonix, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/634126/
[09:49] <lonix> OssNassr: What next ?
[09:49] <morth> starminn is that just Firefox inmport/export?
[09:49] <ypk> hi, my pc is restarting after loading the initrd / ramdisk file, any clue how to fix that?
[09:50] <OssNassr> nothing just black screen with flashing white pointer and it didn't go or change
[09:50] <lonix> knoppies: you are trying to mage safn.local refer to self right ?
[09:50] <Starminn> morth: Mozilla gives you all your bookmarks, history, and probably saved passwords (though probably not cookies) from your other account, yeah. From there of course you can export to Chrom/ium or whatever you like
[09:50] <knoppies> lonix, I dont know what you mean by mage, I want to be able to type in safn.local on a machine on the LAN and get that machine (I can do it for my two laptops)
[09:51] <lonix> knoppies: make*
[09:51] <amit> hii
[09:51] <amit> I accidently deleted my movie files
[09:51] <knoppies> lonix, that way I can ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or type in safn.local into a browser and get the apache web server (at port 80 by default)
[09:51] <amit> can I recover them anyway
[09:51] <amit> it happened just now
[09:51] <FloodBot1> amit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:51] <knoppies> lonix, yes. let me see what the /etc/hosts file looks like on my laptop, maybe changing <IP_ADDRESS> to safn might help.
[09:52] <darshan> epzil0n, ?
[09:52] <lonix> knoppies: no
[09:52] <epzil0n> darshan: software center got a bunch of them, just search dictionary.. donno which one is good tho, i use purple in elementary os ;)
[09:52] <knoppies> lonix, my laptop has this at the top of the /etc/hosts file: <IP_ADDRESS>	klap	# Added by NetworkManager
[09:52] <knoppies> lonix, klap being the hostname. It also has these: <IP_ADDRESS>	localhost.localdomain	localhost
[09:53] <epzil0n> darshan: didn't find it software center, purple that is
[09:53] <lonix> knoppies: so lets se you have 2 hosts, klap and safn right ? and you want to type safn.local from klap ?
[09:53] <amit> can I recover them anyway
[09:53] <knoppies> epzil0n, you might be looking for libpurple?
[09:53] <knoppies> lonix, yes.
[09:54] <knoppies> lonix, I can type in klap.local on safn.
[09:54] <lonix> knoppies: on safn edit /etc/hosts and add this line
[09:55] <lonix> knoppies: ip.of.safn safn.local
[09:55] <epzil0n> knoppies: no, purple is a dictionary in elementary os.. but if you check their site it says Lingo
[09:55] <zeroedout> amit depends on your filesystem
[09:55] <OssNassr> lonix: are you there?
[09:55] <zeroedout> amit: what filesystem were those movies on? ext4? ntfs? fat32?
[09:56] <lonix> knoppies: arrgh to much noise here...
[09:56] <epzil0n> knoppies: so i'm guessing that they will move to Lingo with future release
[09:56] <lonix> OssNassr: sorry, yes...
[09:56] <epzil0n> knoppies: http://elementaryos.org/discover
[09:56] <lonix> OssNassr: Try useing the recovery feature
[09:56] <knoppies> lonix, if the IP is set by DHCP, is there a way to make sure that the IP stays with my DHCP lease?
[09:56] <OssNassr> lonix: it didn't start either
[09:57] <knoppies> lonix, or would I be forced to set a reserved IP in the DHCP server (or whatever they call them, kinda like a static IP)
[09:57] <MagePsycho> how to search the .svn files and delete them?
[09:58] <zeroedout> amit: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery I like foremost my self, but photorec is supposed to be good as well
[09:58] <amit> zeroedout: they were on ext4
[09:58] <epzil0n> darshan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/install-purple-dictionary-elementary-project-ubuntu-ppa/
[09:58] <zeroedout> amit: foremost is probably your best bet then
[09:59] <knoppies> MagePsycho, I know many people create scripts using find | grep .svn and then have that stored into a variable that they do rm on, Im not so good at bash scripting though.
[09:59] <zeroedout> amit: just don't write anything else to the drive until you have recovered your files
[09:59] <lonix> knoppies: and OssNassr i have to go im really sorry, but repost your questions, i promise someone will help you out.
[09:59] <MagePsycho> hey knoppies can yougive me the exact command for the purpose please
[09:59] <zeroedout> amit: like, stop using the harddrive now and plug into another machine for recovery if possible
[09:59] <amit> zeroedout: how can I use foremost? I have it
[09:59] <knoppies> lonix, thank you. You have been such a help.
[09:59] <epzil0n> darshan: the PPA is for Maverick but it should work in Natty
[09:59] <morth> starminn will firefox sync work if from windows to ubuntu?
[09:59] <darshan> epzil0n, thank you
[10:00] <Starminn> morth: worked for me
[10:00] <epzil0n> darshan: np ;)
[10:00] <morth> starminn do i have to go on my windows atall or can i do this all by ubuntu
[10:00] <zeroedout> amit: I don't have time right now to hold your hand through it. you'll have to read the guide and the man pages, they are very detailed and instructive. also check out google for more step by step type guides
[10:00] <knoppies> MagePsycho, I meant to imply that I do not know the exact command. You could try something like: rm -R path/to/directory *.svn
[10:01] <Starminn> morth: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync
[10:01] <knoppies> MagePsycho, WAIT.
[10:01] <amit> zeroedout: ok
[10:01] <amit> thank you
[10:01] <knoppies> MagePsycho, dont do that, I made a mistake.
[10:01] <MagePsycho> thanks
[10:01] <MagePsycho> oh
[10:01] <abstrusenick> why doesnlt /bin/sh -l execute .profile file?
[10:02] <abstrusenick> why doesn;t /bin/sh -l execute .profile file?
[10:02] <knoppies> MagePsycho, cd into the parent directory of your .svn files and then try: rm -r *.svn
[10:02] <morth> starminn ty
[10:03] <MagePsycho> ok knoppies
[10:03] <MagePsycho> rm -r or rm -rf ?
[10:03] <knoppies> MagePsycho, do you know how to use manpages?
[10:05] <knoppies> MagePsycho, if you want it to just delete them and not bother about asking you, then do -rf, but if you want it to prompt you (or warn you that the file does not exist) then do -ir CAREFUL with -rf, you might end up deleting files you never meant to.
[10:05] <knoppies> MagePsycho, you could also do -rfv and it will tell you everything that it does.
[10:05] <MagePsycho> thanks knoppies
[10:06] <knoppies> MagePsycho, pleasure. Do you know how to use man pages? try: man rm
[10:06] <morth> Starminn will this be able to work if my other OS is not on?
[10:06] <MagePsycho> nope
[10:06] <MagePsycho> man = manual?
[10:07] <Starminn> morth: Your settings/history/bookmarks are stored on a server over at Mozilla.
[10:07] <morth> starminn OHH okay, makes perfect sense thanks
[10:07] <Starminn> morth: So if you do something on Ubuntu, then next time you sign on with Windows it will carry over. Do something on Windows, and it will reflect on Ubuntu (and any mobile devices oyu have it on)
[10:08] <morth> starminn cool brb to sync on windows

[10:13] <ahmtfth> hey
[10:13] <ahmtfth> can i ask somethin?
[10:14] <totem> !ask | ahmtfth
[10:15] <epzil0n> tarvid: bookmark it
[10:15] <darshan> wrote a dirty ruby script to convert empathy xml log to htm
[10:16] <jtannenbaum> anyone know why the timezone of the POST data in my browsers America/Chicago when it's supposed to be New York?
[10:16] <epzil0n> tarvid: then you can change the name of the bookmark
[10:16] <gry> jtannenbaum: Can you check your IP whois? Get the IP at www.whatismyip.com and it would likely display what country it's in. Sometimes you can find yourself using a proxy in another area.
[10:19] <epzil0n> darshan: nice =)
[10:20] <weefee> how can I stop gnome but stay connected to wifi?
[10:20] <yunosh> hi, is anybody else getting 404s for changelogs from natty-proposed?
[10:21] <epzil0n> weefee: huh, don't understand what you mean?
[10:21] <weefee> ok I'm trying to install nvidia drivers
[10:21] <weefee> and it tells me I can't be running X
[10:21] <epzil0n> weefee: mm
[10:22] <weefee> when I kill X, it drops to a black screen with no console
[10:22] <weefee> I could do it remotely, but apparently it kills the connection to wifi when gnome dies
[10:23] <epzil0n> weefee: ok, but why do you need wifi when you are installing graphic drivers?
[10:23] <keithb> weefee: does ctrl-alt-F1 give you a login screen?
[10:23] <weefee> so I can run the command
[10:23] <weefee> I'll try
[10:24] <Starminn> epzil0n: To download the drivers or update them, perhaps? *shrug*
[10:24] <nad> hi, when doing 'bzr launchpad-login <myUsername>' from the terminal I get the following error regarding proxy auth:'bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: curl connection error (Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT)'. New to ubuntu dev, using natty. Added my ssh key to launchpad successfully. Any ideas? http_proxy env variable is set
[10:24] <weefee> ok that worked but the driver installation failed
[10:25] <epzil0n> Starminn: :D
[10:25] <keithb> weefee: try rebooting into single user mode, nvidia won't let you install if the nvidia module is loaded
[10:26] <weefee> gtx295 work on ubuntu?
[10:26] <weefee> single user mode how?
[10:26] <nad> i am able to authenticate in my browser etc, so proxy credentials and setup are correct
[10:27] <keithb> weefee: at the boot screen you should get a second line which is your current krnel but in maintenance mode
[10:27] <weefee> I have recovery mode
[10:27] <weefee> ok
[10:27] <keithb> weefee: that's it
[10:28] <keithb> weefee: you will boot as root so be careful
[10:28] <MagePsycho> can anyone tell me how to delete all tables within a db
[10:28] <weefee> no worries
[10:28] <MagePsycho> fyi, my db has 400 tables
[10:28] <shane_> MagePsycho: DROP (table); CREATE TABLE (table);
[10:28] <Starminn> MagePsycho: Maybe DROP * ?
[10:28] <nad> MagePsycho: drop database
[10:28] <weefee> I'm ignorant but not unbearably so
[10:29] <MagePsycho> i am unable to create database so.. drop database wont work
[10:29] <MagePsycho> only i need to drop tables
[10:29] <shane_> MagePsycho: Sorry, like this:   DROP TABLE (table); CREATE TABLE (table);
[10:29] <MagePsycho> how to drop all the tables
[10:29] <MagePsycho> like using wildcard :) DROP * TABLES
[10:29] <shane_> MagePsycho: Then like this:   DROP DATABASE (table); CREATE DATABASE (table);
[10:30] <nad> MagePsycho: you will have to grant access to the user you are using on the schema you are using, maybe with your root user. This is how it would work in mysql
[10:30] <MagePsycho> since user is associated with that table
[10:30] <nad> hi, when doing 'bzr launchpad-login <myUsername>' from the terminal I get the following error regarding proxy auth:'bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: curl connection error (Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT)'. New to ubuntu dev, using natty. Added my ssh key to launchpad successfully. Any ideas? http_proxy env variable is set
[10:30] <Starminn> MagePsycho: Only way wild card would make sense is DROP TABLE * I think but I don't know if that would work.
[10:31] <Starminn> Been awhile and my DB stuffz is rusty.
[10:31] <weefee> bleh, failed
[10:31] <weefee> said to get out of runlevel 1 and telinit 3
[10:31] <weefee> did that and script still failed
[10:32] <shane_> Starminn: I tried that, which didnt work.
[10:32] <shane_> MagePsycho: Just drop then recreate the database
[10:33] <nad> MagePsycho, Shane: sounds like a privileges issue. You cannot drop/create if you dont have the correct privileges
[10:34] <bob77> I have two identical ssh sessions opened. one is very slow (in the sense of char echo) and one is normal. how can this happen?
[10:34] <shane_> MagePsycho: Sorry I missed the issue with priveliges. What method are you using to run your SQL?
[10:40] <speakman> how do I remotely re-mount an SD-card just being manually umount'ed?
[10:41] <lonix> mount -a ?
[10:41] <speakman> lonix: doesn't it require it being mentioned in /etc/fstab?
[10:41] <jpds> speakman: Yes.
[10:41] <lonix> that is if it is in fstab
[10:41] <speakman> I want it to be mounted as the user
[10:42] <speakman> as if you just put the card back in the machine
[10:42] <speakman> ubuntu will auto-mount it
[10:42] <speakman> with the current user's ownership
[10:42] <jpds> speakman: Reopen it from the File Manager.
[10:42] <jpds> Oh, remotely.
[10:43] <speakman> ssh :p
[10:43] <jpds> speakman: ssh -X and run nautilus.
[10:43] <dodino> guys, exist a simple method to have an USB stick with Ubuntu bootable in a macbook? i tried more ways but the result it's always the same "no bootable device found" (with rEFIt of course) ...
[10:43] <shane_> dodino: Are you booting as USB-HDD?
[10:44] <speakman> jpds: it's not visible in natulius when umounted once
[10:44] <dodino> tell me that someone has done it because I find many howto online which unfortunately do not work
[10:44] <dodino> shane_: it's an USB stick, a corsair voyager gt 16GB
[10:45] <shane_> dodino: When you boot, do you select USB-HDD as your boot option? It should be something along the lines of USB-HDD to boot operating systems from a USB
[10:45] <speakman> any ideas?
[10:45] <speakman> isn't ubuntu using pmount or something?
[10:45] <jpds> speakman: No.
[10:45] <speakman> or can I re-trigger the "pluggin in the SD-card" event?
[10:46] <dodino> shane_: with rEFIt i can see my USB stick but when I try to boot it, the result it's "no bootable device"...
[10:46] <shahuaka> Hello!
[10:46] <jpds> speakman: Run palimpsest and see if it's been powered off.
[10:47] <GreenNerd> I've been up all night with WGET.  Can someone please tell me how to go to a website that has a search engine, input my parameters, and then pass them through WGET?  I have to download a file, and can't seem to get it to work if I request too much data, but the problem is... I need that data to download as an excel spreadsheet or an access database.  Either way, the site is http://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/general_user/search  .  I can d
[10:47] <GreenNerd> ownload the spreadsheet when I use the default parameters, but if I add any new ones, I get an error 500.  I have no idea what to do.  I truly need this info,and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help.  I will do my best to refrain from spamming this, but I truly need this file in the next two hours...  :'(
[10:47] <FloodBot1> GreenNerd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:47] <dodino> shane_: i think it's a problem relative the partition table and/or partition's filesystem..
[10:48] <MagePsycho> hi guys..
[10:48] <shane_> dodino: I can not be sure. I do not use macs. If it was not that then I can not help you any further sorry
[10:48] <speakman> jpds: trying "Mount Volume" which gives me "Not Authorized"
[10:48] <shane_> MagePsycho: Any luck?
[10:48] <MagePsycho> rm -rf *.svn only works for current directory
[10:48] <GreenNerd> The problem happens when I click "Export to Access".  The whole freakin site is .asp and .js!  I can't get anything to function in a conventional manner.  Can someone learn me to hack?
[10:48] <MagePsycho> i want it to look and delete from all dirs
[10:49] <MagePsycho> i used phpmyadmin for the shane_
[10:49] <shane_> MagePsycho: Ok :)
[10:50] <speakman> and by the way -- it looks like my systray is lost. At least it doesn't show my Skype icon any longer
[10:50] <weefee> GreenNerd: don't have access to a windows machine to get the file?
[10:50] <speakman> ...which makes me unable to open Skype when all windows are closed
[10:51] <GreenNerd> The file I want is public on a .gov server.
[10:51] <kubanc> anyone familiar with this error: gimpshop: maintainer-address-missing giuliastro
[10:51] <shane_> MagePsycho: What is the output of rm?
[10:51] <GreenNerd> weefee, the file is on a .gov server.  The data I am pulling is all public, but the .js and .asp is mucking everything up, bad.
[10:51] <weefee> can't you just get it from a windows machine?
[10:52] <shane_> speakman: Just add notification area back to your panel :)
[10:52] <GreenNerd> It won't even DL.  I get an 500 error.
[10:52] <GreenNerd> 500 Internal
[10:52] <GreenNerd> It is bizzare
[10:52] <MagePsycho> there was no any output
[10:52] <weefee> what are your search parameters?

[10:53] <MagePsycho> how to search and delete recursively from all fodlers
[10:53] <shane_> rm -f -r *.svn
[10:53] <shane_> MagePsycho: Try that
[10:53] <susundberg> you need to use find
[10:54] <susundberg> find . -iname "*.svn" | xargs rm -rf
[10:54] <susundberg> to get recursive find and remove of .svn named directories, if thats what you want
[10:55] <veek> -type d
[10:55] <GreenNerd> weefee, if you go to http://vip.vetbiz.gov/general_user/search/ then click on CUSTOMIZED SEARCH, it makes a larger form.  Down at the bottom, you can shift+click the "Step 3 - Specify Fields(s) to Display:" box.  I want all of the options selected.  The data works, because I can see a preview screen once I click "search", but I just can't download the appropriately formatted files.  This is complicated.  Thx for being paitent.  :)

[10:59] <DroidAgent> Hi, I'd like to create a bootable USB install for Ubuntu server... http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download has instructions for Win, Mac and Ubuntu but not for Linux distros other than Ubuntu... do I need to convert the .iso to .img on Linux and if yes, how?
[11:00] <weefee> GreenNerd: I don't think you'll be able to make that work, looks like a big problem on your end, I think your best bet is to parse the html somehow
[11:00] <weefee> on their end*
[11:00] <GreenNerd> weefee, I've tried lots of stuff.  What do you specifically suggest?
[11:00] <shane_> MagePsycho: Try rm -fr *.svn - I dont know if it will do anything but you can try :) It can either work or not
[11:01] <weefee> that's beyond my scope, but I bet there are some ubernerds that could whip up a script that will whip that data into shape right quick
[11:02] <speakman> shane_: notification area?
[11:02] <speakman> found it, but no differencs
[11:02] <shane_> speakman: To recover your skype icons and all :)
[11:03] <pRoV7x>  DroidAgent: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/, this might help you.
[11:03] <speakman> shane_: nothing different - all blank :(
[11:03] <MagePsycho> find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \;
[11:03] <MagePsycho> will this work: find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \;
[11:03] <shane_> speakman: Do you have skype up?
[11:03] <speakman> shane_: yes
[11:03] <shane_> MagePsycho: Possibly
[11:05] <MagePsycho> find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \; works like a charm
[11:06] <morth> i came across something nifty, if you're a irssi user you might wanna check this out http://pcatr.im/E0
[11:08] <shane_> speakman: Do you have anything else that should have icons? For example network manager?

[11:13] <iljo> anything like that out there?
[11:14] <phux> iljo, check orca
[11:14] <iljo> thanks phux, will check it out
[11:15] <phux> think its default in ubuntu11.04
[11:15] <glontu> hi
[11:15] <Nephro> Hi! Anyone had this trouble: when I start up skype, the pc starts working very slowly, everything is tearing, lagging etc... This continues for about a minute, then everything is back to normal
[11:15] <Hyperi> Hi, I'm wondering why default installation of Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS isn't doing logrotate even as cron.daily/logrotate aswell all the configurations are in place
[11:15] <glontu> anyone know how to disable the network manager thing ?
[11:16] <shane_> glontu: The default network manager? To end the process run pkill nm-applet however this will kill your connection as well.
[11:16] <Hyperi> logrotate -v says "does not need rotating" yet the files are 4Gigs+ and way older. I've already tried to remove /var/lib/logrotate/status file, but the response is the same :/
[11:16] <glontu> shane_, i am trying to set up a router from my box and i think network manager keeps interfereing
[11:16] <sabgenton> whats a good ext reader for windows
[11:17] <iljo> sorry phux, i think you misunderstood me...
[11:17] <sabgenton> ext2explore sucks it's not reading sparse files
[11:17] <shane_> glontu: I removed network manager ages ago for wicd and have had no problems since
[11:18] <sabgenton> copys only a couple of k then gives up
[11:18] <glontu> shane_, how do i remove it ?
[11:18] <shane_> sabgenton: This is ubuntu IRC not windows. I suggesn you google *.ext
[11:18] <iljo> i need software, that would simulate Ctrl + Alt + Left when i click my "go back" button on mouse, and Ctrl + Alt + Right, when i click my "go forward" button on mouse
[11:18] <e-DIO-t> apt-get purge network-manager && apt-get install wicd ?
[11:18] <shane_> glontu: Download WICD and install it then purge network-manager
[11:19] <shane_> e-DIO-t: You cant just install wicd, it required daemons and the interface
[11:19] <sabgenton> shane_: well wubi is suported which is  a ext image on windows
[11:19] <pRoV7x>  glontu: Software Center, write the name of the software, click on it, then you see remove bottun, after removinngou better restart your pc
[11:20] <e-DIO-t> shane_: tought they'd come as dependencies
[11:20] <shane_> glontu: apt-get install wicd; apt-get install wicd-daemon;apt-get install python-wicd;apt-get purge network-manager
[11:20] <shane_> e-DIO-t: Good point :)
[11:20] <shane_> But just to be safe
[11:21] <e-DIO-t> shane_: ^_^
[11:21] <shane_> However, I only have wicd-daemon and python-wicd installed and it works perfectly.
[11:21] <glontu> ok so moving on ... does anyone have any ideea why i keep getting errors when trying to do this:  ip route add table 100 default via $E1_GW
[11:21] <shane_> glontu: Just get wicd-daemon and python-wicd and you should be set to purge network-manager
[11:22] <glontu> i get the stupid no suck process message from RTNETLINK
[11:22] <shane_> glontu: Paste your errors

[11:26] <glontu> they should really do something about the stupit RTNETLINK messages which don't say anything really
[11:26] <pRoV7x>  What is this Xorg
[11:26] <shane_> pRiV7x: It is your GUI (in a nutshell)
[11:26] <dyd> i'm trying to use foremost to recover some files that have been deleted for mistake, i don't know how to use the HD. The command is $ foremost /dev/device -T how do i know what's the device?
[11:26] <pRoV7x>  !Xorg
[11:27] <shane_> glontu: First of all I would start of by removing network-manager all together rather than disabling it.
[11:28] <pRoV7x>  !GUI
[11:28] <glontu> shane_, and should i install the one you recomended ?
[11:29] <shane_> pRoV7x: A GUI is everything on your screen that you can see. Your windows, the mouse, everything. The other alternative to a GUI is CUI, which is command line interface (Text).
[11:29] <babu> in windows normally we would type //ipaddress to see the shared items..
[11:29] <babu> how to do the same in ubutnu
[11:29] <arucreid> hello
[11:29] <babu> how to do the same in Ubuntu
[11:29] <arucreid> i`ve a question
[11:29] <shane_> glontu: Well there is WICD or editing the OS's networking files.
[11:29] <tonyyarusso> babu: Places > Network
[11:29] <pRoV7x>  shane_: i see, god man this Xorg uses a lot of CPU sometimes
[11:29] <arucreid> does anybody know, how to check in which domain/workgroup is my PC?
[11:30] <shane_> From a ease of use pov I would suggest WICD. From a stability point of view, edit the OS's files. However I have not had a problem with WICD.
[11:30] <JdGordon> does anyone know how to find out which dhcp leases were given out by ubuntu when you use the network managers "share this connection" option?
[11:30] <tonyyarusso> little: Applications > Sound and Video > Cheese Webcam Booth
[11:30] <shane_> pRoV7x: Yes that is to be expected. It has a massive job :)
[11:30] <babu> in Network it shows the user name.. i dunno it..
[11:30] <babu> i ki know only ip addr
[11:30] <babu> i know only ip addr
[11:30] <antihero> I get an annoying buzzing in my speakers whenever I use my mouse, also sometimes when I scroll on a webpage.
[11:31] <tonyyarusso> dyd: 'mount' will tell you your current device to mountpoint associations.
[11:31] <antihero> None of the topics I've found through google on the forums have solved it / are recent.
[11:31] <arucreid> ??
[11:31] <antihero> I'm using a M-Audio Delta 2496 that otherwise works great.
[11:31] <tonyyarusso> arucreid: It should be in your Samba config file.
[11:32] <arucreid> the config of samba file is really enought to know which workgroup is it?
[11:32] <babu> do u get my qn?
[11:32] <arucreid> i mean i`ve 2 computers linux and windows
[11:32] <pRoV7x>  shane_: is WICD a software that manges Networks?
[11:33] <tonyyarusso> arucreid: well, that's where you would define it.
[11:33] <phux> iljo: what do yoou mean by misunderstood?[D
[11:33] <arucreid> i want to know that workgroup has importance to configuring it?
[11:33] <pRoV7x>  shane_: how about SWscanner
[11:34] <shane_> pRoV7x: WICD is like network-manager, It allows you to connect to networks (provided you have the password).
[11:34] <iljo> i don't think orca does what i need done
[11:34] <jwtiyar> the firefox will damage or stop when going from tab to other tab for a while

[11:34] <iljo> when i start orca, all it does is start reading things on my screen
[11:34] <shane_> pRoV7x: Yes and no. From what I saw, SWscanner only manages wireless networks.
[11:35] <shane_> And it depensd on something else.
[11:35] <tonyyarusso> babu: You can also use Places > Connect to Server and use "Windows Share" as the type.
[11:35] <babu> there is lot of options..
[11:36] <arucreid> ok so I guess, it depends of what I type in smb.conf, and the name of workgroup must be the same
[11:36] <arucreid> ?
[11:36] <pRoV7x>  shane_: i see, just wonder how come Swscanner's file is 60 Mb, i was about to get it but changed my mind, lol
[11:36] <jwtiyar> any solution?
[11:36] <arucreid> the same in windows machine
[11:36] <phux> iljo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility
[11:37] <phux> iljo: oh sorry
[11:37] <phux> youre right
[11:37] <tonyyarusso> arucreid: yes
[11:39] <phux> iljo: if you are on ubuntu 11.04 you have to press ALt + F2 type onboard and press enter
[11:39] <pRoV7x>  yeah what i wanted to ask, now whenever i run update manger i t sya no new updes, though im using Ubuntu 10.10, is that natural or not
[11:39] <phux> i dont know if its installed in previous versions
[11:40] <OerHeks> pRoV7x, depends on your preferences, does ubuntu download + install security updates in background ?
[11:40] <Kurdistan> hey guys. do any body know how I know if I can use "pcie_aspm=force"?
[11:41] <pRoV7x>  OerHeks: ho do i know that
[11:41] <pRoV7x>  how
[11:41] <OerHeks> goto update manager and check preferences ?
[11:42] <pRoV7x>  OerHeks: from the settings in the update manger
[11:43] <pRoV7x>  !python
[11:44] <pRoV7x>  OerHeks: alright
[11:45] <gry> !perl
[11:45] <gry> :o
[11:46] <pRoV7x>  =S
[11:47]  * gry asls for Perl help here.
[11:47] <screwednoob> Q - Would gparted on ubuntu liveCD  see a prev ubuntu installation on ext4 partition as unallocated space ?
[11:48] <tonyyarusso> no
[11:48] <screwednoob> thats what i thought. would an mbr screwup make it disappear like that ?
[11:51] <tonyyarusso> yes
[11:53] <screwednoob> cheers.
[11:54] <mejo> hey
[11:54] <gry> Hello.
[11:54] <Axan> Hi
[11:54] <gry> Hi. :-)
[11:54] <mejo> how do I mark a bug as found in another ubuntu release? I'm talking about bug #419143 and would like to mark it as found in Ubuntu Natty.
[11:54] <Axan> Does anyone know about video edition software "Kino" ? I got a simple question to ask about
[11:55] <shane_> ok see ya all later :)
[11:55] <gry> mejo try #ubuntu-bugs if I'm not mistaken
[11:55] <mejo> I already changed status from Invalid back to Confirmed, but I don't find the option to mark it as found in Natty.
[11:55] <mejo> gry: thanks
[11:55] <gry> you're welcome
[11:56] <gry> Axan: please ask away.
[11:57] <Axan> ^^, I wonder how to delete an applied effect (and get back the original video portion) (with KINO video edition software)
[11:58] <ethnoadm_> hello?
[11:58] <ethnoadm_> need ubuntu help?
[11:58] <ethnoadm_> HALP!

[12:00] <strk> evince: symbol lookup error: evince: undefined symbol: ev_get_locale_dir # got this on upgrading evince to 2.30.3-0ubuntu1.2
[12:00] <ethnoadm_> i am having trouble installing avira antivir on ubuntu 11.10
[12:00] <ethnoadm_> how do i install dozuko when i can't find a .deb
[12:02] <ethnoadm_> Altenatively any good recommendations for antivir programms in ubuntu?
[12:02] <ethnoadm_> Primarily to scan ext hds in safe environment
[12:02] <DJones> ethnoadm_: You said installing on 11.10, did you mean 11.10 which isn't released until October & is just for testing, or 11.04 which is the current version
[12:03] <gry> ethnoadm_: many places suggest "m-a a-i dazuko"
[12:03] <ethnoadm_> how do i implement m-a a-i dazuko?
[12:03] <BlackDalek> Does anyone know how to stream a webcam over network using VLC in ubuntu?
[12:03] <gry> !antivirus | ethnoadm_, gry wants you to know - this lists useful suggestions as well:
[12:04] <gry> ethnoadm_: run 'm-a a-i dazuko' in Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
[12:04] <ethnoadm_> i aim to clean virus infected drives with a "safe" ubuntu version. ps i just installed the new ubuntu and frankly everything looks different. got its from ubutnu.com
[12:05] <gry> Welcome. :)
[12:05] <BlackDalek> does anyone know how to stream webcam in VLC?
[12:05] <Somelauw> Hi, I am still using ubuntu 10.10
[12:06] <gry> ethnoadm_: Just read lines prefxed with your nickname and check the links and suggestions.
[12:06] <Somelauw> When starting update-manager, it says: Not all updates could be installed.
[12:06] <Somelauw> Is there some way I can figure out what the problem is?
[12:06] <ethnoadm_> gry_ yes
[12:07] <gry> :)
[12:08] <DJones> Somelauw: With you using 11.10, you're probably better asking in #ubuntu+1 which is the channel for the development version, there may be a specific issue affecting things at the moment
[12:08] <B|2> hey guys,
[12:08] <ethnoadm_> thanks.
[12:08] <B|2> how do i stop ubuntuone from my startup?
[12:10] <jiohdi> preferences startup applications
[12:10] <jiohdi> uncheck it
[12:10] <tjiggi_fo> Somelauw, run: sudo apt-get update then try updating again
[12:10] <Somelauw> DJones: I use 10.10
[12:11] <DJones> Somelauw: Sorry, I misread 10.10 as 11.10
[12:11] <rootkill> hi
[12:12] <xro> Hi, what is the best location to put website source code? (some people said me that /var/www isn't a good choice)
[12:13] <gry> xro: That's Apache's default web files location, yes.
[12:15] <xro> gry, but some people said that is not a good place to store source code (web python code) because apache could show it to users...
[12:15] <Somelauw> DJones: I tried, but I am still having the same problem.
[12:15] <tsimpson> xro: it doesn't matter where, it's completely arbitrary
[12:15] <gry> xro, it's the default location - if you find permissions wrong, just ask in here and people would help you to set it up.
[12:15] <tsimpson> xro: apache only needs to be able to read the files, other that that it can be anywhere
[12:16] <gry> xro, permissions do /not/ depend on files location in this case.
[12:16] <xro> ok... thanls for your advices!
[12:16] <xro> thanks*
[12:16] <gry> :-)
[12:16] <pajero> :D
[12:17] <Somelauw> DJones: Also, it says there are updates for linux-generic, but I am not able to select those.
[12:17] <tonyyarusso> xro: It depends entirely on how you configure your web server.  No location is "good" or "bad" by reasons of apache showing it to users.  /var/www is however correct under the FHS.
[12:17] <Somelauw> I think my system is completely messed up.
[12:17] <ejv> I prefer /home/$USER/public_html/
[12:17]  * ejv shrugs
[12:18] <tonyyarusso> ejv: If it's user-specific that makes sense as well.
[12:18] <gry> ejv, depends on whether you intend to have a site for all users, or just for one, I suppose.
[12:19] <tonyyarusso> /home/$USER/public_html/ is better than /var/www/$USER/, but /home/nobody/public_html as your only site is a bit silly.
[12:19] <ejv> i tend to find it more natural to navigate to my home dir, than /var/www, seems awkward to me :D
[12:19] <szal> Somelauw: try 'sudo apt-get upgrade' on the terminal instead
[12:19] <gry> Though we can vhost it to any location, e.g. hve global site domin point to one user's files - that'll work as well!
[12:19] <Somelauw> Also it says that firefox can't be updated, but that is probably because I have a firefox ppa added.
[12:19] <Somelauw> Do I need to make a backup first?
[12:19] <ejv> also my home tends to reside on an encrypted disk, whereas the contents of /var do not :)
[12:19] <gry> Somelauw: run what szal said in Terminal, we'd see the error text.
[12:20] <Somelauw> Before aptitude upgrade?
[12:20] <gry> Update first, then upgrade.
[12:20] <szal> Somelauw: if you use aptitude, then use that & scrap apt-get
[12:20] <morth> hello
[12:20] <gry> So it would be: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:20] <rhin0> xro you have got python working through a web server?  just wondering how -- I even with lighttpd still have to use php to interface with python
[12:21] <jacks_> #ubuntu
[12:21] <gry> jacks_: Welcome.
[12:21] <iljo> hello again, can anyone recommend a good virtualization software for ubuntu 10.10, such as Daemon Tools or PowerISO or MagicISO
[12:21] <xro> rhin8, i use wsgi to interface python and apache
[12:21] <Somelauw> sudo aptitude upgrade works
[12:21] <rhin0> ok thanks xro
[12:21] <B-r00t> iljo: mount xD
[12:22] <szal> iljo: what's that got to do w/ virtualization?
[12:22] <Somelauw> Is it a problem with the update-manager gui.
[12:22] <gry> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-virtualization-software.html iljo
[12:22] <Somelauw> I will never trust ubuntu gui's again.
[12:22] <gry> Somelauw: interesting
[12:22] <Somelauw> Or maybe I will see the same error again later :-(
[12:22] <ejv> those apps in windows land create a "virtual" disk, pardon his terminology ;)
[12:23] <iljo> yeah, sorry about that
[12:23] <gry> iljo: Brasero disk burner, if you want to copy disks and similar
[12:23] <gry> (make disk images too)
[12:23] <knoppies> gry, daemon tools is for mounting .iso to a virtual DVD drive.
[12:23] <iljo> i have a cd image on my hard drive, and i want to run it as if it were in a cd-rom drive
[12:24] <ejv> i prefer k3b, haven't tried brasero yet
[12:24] <knoppies> iljo, I know that you can mount using a loop or something, should I try google it for you?
[12:24] <gry> sure
[12:24] <iljo> i can google myself, thanks, just wanted to know if anyone has a software like that at hand
[12:25] <knoppies> iljo, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html
[12:25] <szal> iljo: what for?
[12:25] <ejv> iljo: if you want the full documentation, fire up a terminal and type `man mount`
[12:25] <gry> ...
[12:25] <jacks_> hello
[12:26] <jacks_> i recently using ubuntu
[12:26] <jacks_> may i know recomended software
[12:26] <jacks_> for ubuntu natty
[12:26] <szal> !enter | jacks_
[12:27] <vlt> Hello. What do I need to do to make evolution re-read the file I saved my email signature in?
[12:28] <knoppies> jacks_, do you have anything in particular you are looking for? I recommend VLC, qmmp (for playing music) compiz config settings manager (if you are into tweeking your UI (not sure if it is in natty))
[12:28] <gry> gmountiso seems to do the thing, iljo
[12:28] <jacks_> oh ok thanks
[12:28] <ooxi> hi i'm using the most recent apache2 package from ubuntu (hardy). Are all known vulnerabilities patched (changelog on httpd.apache.org shows many vulnerabilites affecting 2.2.8)
[12:29] <knoppies> ooxi, I think you should try see what version you are running, you can either try use apt (not sure how) or ls /var/cache/apt/archives | grep apache2 (or even try synaptic, that should be able to tell you)
[12:30] <szal> knoppies, ooxi: apt-cache show pkgname
[12:30] <pRoV7x>  what's the best system cleaner for Ubuntu
[12:30] <gry> ooxi: a delay before a version appears in linux repositories is not umcommon
[12:30] <szal> pRoV7x: define 'system cleaner'
[12:30] <gry> pRoV7x: define 'system cleaner'
[12:30] <gry> oops
[12:30] <tham> How can i install a screenlet that's not in the repos?
[12:31] <knoppies> pRoV7x, you see that, you get it in stereo.
[12:31] <szal> heheh
[12:31] <pRoV7x>  szal, gry: i need the OS to be faster a bit
[12:31] <knoppies> tham, Im not sure about screenlets, but I know with software you can either download a .deb (or some other package) or compile it yourself.
[12:31] <szal> pRoV7x: buy a faster machine
[12:31] <gry> https://launchpad.net/~screenlets-dev/+archive/ppa tham
[12:31] <ooxi> knoppies, szal, gry i'm running 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.19
[12:32] <pRoV7x>  szal, gry: any other options
[12:32] <jwtiyar> the firefox will damage or stop when going from tab to other tab for a while
[12:32] <knoppies> ooxi, ok good, now try find out what security vulnerabilities that version of apache2 has. (I dont know them, Im sorry)
[12:32] <tham> knoppies, gry, The thing is, I got a source of a screenlet and changed it (the python file) a bit. I want to install this changed version now. Any idea?
[12:32] <pRoV7x>  ok how can i configure BleachBit the best way
[12:32] <gry> tham: then you have to compile yourself
[12:33] <ooxi> knoppies, according to the changelog on httpd.apache.org quite many
[12:33] <tham> gry, um.. how do I compile it? Using python?
[12:33] <gry> tham: Does it have a setup.py file in main project directory?
[12:33] <knoppies> tham, if its a python file then the chances are that it is a script and so doesnt need to be compiled. You need to find where the original is installed, and then swap out the python files. (I hope this helps, its rather vague)
[12:34] <Somelauw> Okay, I managed to install the kernel updates.
[12:34] <Somelauw> Firefox is still bitching, probably because I added a custom ppa.
[12:34] <gry> Somelauw: Sounds awesome.
[12:34] <gry> Somelauw: I would delete the ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list and re-add it.
[12:34] <tham> knoppies, Thanks, I may be able to do it that way. Thanks again
[12:35] <tham> gry, Nope, but knoppies gave me an idea. Thanks both of you
[12:35] <gry> tham: Great.
[12:35] <dr_Willis> better to use /etc/apt/siurces.list.d/files
[12:36] <tonyyarusso> pRoV7x: You don't need a "system cleaner".  Such things are more likely to be scams than real software anyway.  Just learn how to manage your system.
[12:37] <dr_Willis> bleachbit rarely finds much here to clean
[12:37] <kamidi> does anyone know if problems with ATI/FGLRX and Gnome3 have been resolved in Catalyst 11.6 drivers?
[12:37] <Somelauw> gry: Can I just delete the files there directly? One of the files ends on .list and the other one ends on .list.save and there content is exactly the same?
[12:37] <pRoV7x>  tonyyarusso: thank u
[12:37] <dr_Willis> a few cache files. thats about it
[12:37] <mario__> giorno
[12:38] <Somelauw> s/there/their/
[12:38] <pRoV7x>  is there any thing that works as a restore point for Ubuntu
[12:38] <tonyyarusso> ooxi: Yes, apache2 will get security updates in hardy until spring of 2013.
[12:38] <knoppies> Somelauw, I would not delete the .list file, but the .list.save sounds like somebody backed it up previously, that should be safe (in terms of the system not falling apart) to delete.
[12:39] <dr_Willis> pRoV7x:  not really. theres ways to do it. but its rarely needed
[12:39] <knoppies> Does somebody know if "apt-get check" will inform apt that I have added .deb files to the /var/cache/apt/archives folder. So that it doesn't try to download them.
[12:39] <pRoV7x>  dr_Willis: i see
[12:39] <Hansimat> I am looking for an unattended Ubuntu installation. I found preseed and FAI. FAI sounds more interesting, especially preseed does not seem to support reusing of partitions. On the other hand the preseed method is easy to setup.  Does FAI work well with Ubuntu?
[12:40] <dr_Willis> knoppies:  ive added them thete befor i dont recall them getting redownloaded
[12:40] <pRoV7x>  dr_Willis: what's the best one
[12:40] <Somelauw> Thanks helping me gry and szal
[12:40] <Somelauw> knoppies: so how to remove a repository?
[12:41] <knoppies> Somelauw, remove? Im a little lost.
[12:41] <dr_Willis> bummer my irc client crashed.
[12:41] <Somelauw> knoppies: how to remove a ppa I don't need anymore?
[12:41] <knoppies> thanks dr_Willis maybe I should just try that. As things stand now I managed to create a local repository with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=147420
[12:42] <Somelauw> Where is this documented?
[12:42] <szal> easiest way: comment or delete the respective line(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list or sources.list.d/whereverItIsInThere
[12:42] <knoppies> dr_Willis, It took me 3hours to realize I had a spelling error in my sources.list file.
[12:42] <pRoV7x>  wb dr_Willis
[12:42] <dr_Willis> Somelauw:  theres a ppapurge command
[12:42] <knoppies> Somelauw, Im not sure about ppa, I normally just comment out the repo from /etc/apt/sources.list (as szal stated above)
[12:42] <dr_Willis> knoppies:  normally the error msg is a clue. B-)
[12:43]  * szal wouldn't count on such fancy commands having been around in Hardy already, most of the fancy stuff was introduced in Jaunty and Karmic
[12:43] <dr_Willis> Somelauw:  move the file to some other dir  is one way
[12:43] <Somelauw> okay, thanks dr_Willis, knoppies and szal
[12:44] <knoppies> dr_Willis, I thought the error message was telling me that it could not find the relevant file in my repo (because I had to generate a Packages.gz file, it was complaining about that, not the file path), I also started wondering if it was a permissions issue.

[12:44] <Molfar> hi guys. help me to build e-texteditor on ubuntu 11.04 please
[12:44] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[12:44] <MHA_> how to upgrade gnome 3 in lucid?
[12:44] <rhin01> ping
[12:45] <dr_Willis> more text editirs are needed? heh.
[12:45] <BluesKaj> mornin' szal , dr_Willis
[12:45] <Somelauw> I assume # is the comment character still here.
[12:45] <dr_Willis> !gnome3
[12:45] <szal> MHA_: iow, no dice for Lucid
[12:45] <dr_Willis> find ppas for other releasrs if they exist
[12:46] <dr_Willis> i bet they would break even worse.
[12:46] <MHA_> i'm remastering backtrack 5, and i want to upgrade gnome 3, is it possible
[12:46] <MHA_> *?
[12:46] <dr_Willis> !bt
[12:47] <szal> !backtrack | MHA_
[12:47] <dr_Willis> we dont do bscktrack here.
[12:47] <szal> bscktrack..  lol
[12:47] <MHA_> oh, ok, thank's all
[12:47] <dr_Willis> i bet its possible
[12:48] <Molfar> could you help me to build e-texteditor at ubuntu 11.04 pls?
[12:48] <glontu> i have set up an ubuntu router with 2 wans
[12:48] <dr_Willis> Molfar:  how far have you progresssed in doing that?
[12:48] <glontu> so i have a multiplath route in there. Question is ... how do i make my router not use the dead link anymore
[12:48] <Somelauw> Does anybody by the way know the difference between firefox and firefox-gnome?
[12:49] <glontu> when one of the links goes down ?
[12:49] <szal> Molfar: afaics, e-texteditor is a Windows program
[12:49] <glontu> if i do ip route flush cache then it finds the live link again but is there a way that wont require me to do this manually ?
[12:49] <Molfar> dr_Willis: I have already cloned sources from github https://github.com/etexteditor/e . I hope it is oficial repository
[12:50] <dr_Willis> !git
[12:50] <dr_Willis> last i used git. i just copy pasted a few comands from the programs docs.
[12:51] <dr_Willis> once i had the dev stuff installrd that is.
[12:51] <dr_Willis> my git fu is low.
[12:51] <gry> Just cloning should be neough to download the program. To install it, however, you would be likely expected to read the 'README' or 'INSTALL' file.
[12:52] <Molfar> I see readme file there. No commands to install are there.
[12:53] <epzil0n> Molfar: what are you trying to install?
[12:53] <gry> Molfar: section = Building e = in the readme, please. :-)
[12:53] <Molfar> epzil0n: e-texteditor from sources
[12:53] <epzil0n> Molfar: ok
[12:54] <Molfar> gry: thanks
[12:54] <gry> Guest85845: Salut
[12:54] <szal> Molfar: also see line 5 in the readme.txt ^^

[13:03] <_johnny> gry: thanks
[13:03] <_johnny> didn't know where to ask :)
[13:03] <gry> :)
[13:03] <Skeeter-> wats a good chunk size for mdadm?
[13:04] <gry> Molfar: Try `sudo aptitude install python2.5` perhaps?
[13:05] <Molfar> gry: it says No candidate version found for python2.5
[13:05] <gry> Molfar: Although I'd find that dependency odd, you might try to `sudo aptitude update` and the install bakefile one more time - I'd not really expect it to run on outdated Python.
[13:05] <^Mike> When I change the mouse pointer in Appearances, the mouse pointer doesn't change. Is this a known issue? Should I be doing something else to change the pointer?
[13:05] <frostschutz> Skeeter-: depends on your use case. run your own benchmarks and find out. personally, I just use the default chunk size...
[13:06] <Skeeter-> frostschutz, k thanks
[13:06] <gry> ^Mike: Does it change for another user on the system? Try creating a new user and checking there.
[13:07] <zombieSLAYER> is it possible to run chrome or chromium standalone from a usb stick?
[13:07] <^Mike> gry: No, it doesn't work for other users either.

[13:08] <gry> !bugs | ^Mike, gry thinks you should file a bug, including your full hardware details
[13:08] <Ntemis> is there any remedy on this?
[13:09] <^Mike> gry: What package?
[13:09] <gry> zombieSLAYER: What do you mean?
[13:10] <gry> ^Mike: Hrm. I don't know what package it's about. Maybe select something general, as people find what it's a problm with, they'll edit the bug information.
[13:10] <gry> ^Mike: may be worth asking at ubuntuforums.org about it first - including your hardware details

[13:21] <admgy22> hi guys.  newbie here... how would I go about removing someone else from sudoers and removing their ssh key?  (the previous admin)
[13:21] <admgy22> what else shoudl I be doing when I take over a server from someone else?  (I'm just a coder, really, not a sys admin...)
[13:21] <ducch> fork() fails with err 11, and i pastebin'ed my ulimit -a and free output (both look reasonable)...
[13:22] <dr_Willis> bbl
[13:23] <^Mike> How can I tell what package provides an executable?
[13:23] <gry> admgy22: System > Administration -> Usera & Groups
[13:24] <Pici> ^Mike: dpkg -S /path/to/exec
[13:24] <Pici> ^Mike: If you don't have it installed, you can either use apt-file, or http://packages.ubuntu.com
[13:24] <^Mike> Pici: thanks
[13:25] <Pici> admgy22: Check if their user is in the admin group, and if so, remove them from that group.
[13:25] <knoppies> Pici, admgy22, would you not have to remove their username from the sudoers config file too?
[13:26] <gry> knoppies: There is GUI for this.
[13:26] <Pici> gry: Most servers don't have guis.
[13:26] <gry> Pici: Hm. I don't know if admgy22 is a server or desktop user.
[13:27] <knoppies> gry, he kind of implied server by saying that he took over a server from another admin.
[13:29] <gry> My apologies if I was turning them in wrong direction, then.
[13:32] <shockrates> hey
[13:32] <shockrates> PLEASE HELP
[13:32] <Pici> shockrates: Hey. You need to ask a question frist.
[13:32] <Pici> *first
[13:32] <admgy22> I'm a server user guys - sorry I was scrolled up, didn't see the responses
[13:33] <sipior> Pici: must be the Shockratic method
[13:33] <jrib> sipior: hahaha
[13:33] <Pici> sipior: *groan*
[13:33] <D-Dalus> Good morning, someone could explain to me, what kind of things may produce that in a DSL conection there is only acces to google, youtube, and other especific pages?
[13:33] <jrib> D-Dalus: is it OS-independent?
[13:34] <Kartagis> hi. I've done a wget -m and it saved to a directory. however, when I look at the source and click on a link, dirname is omitted. how come?
[13:34] <admgy22> can you guys help me on this step by step.  I'm not really an admin.  So, in #freenode, someone suggested I look at the sudoers config file.  Where is this locatd on ubuntu?
[13:34] <jrib> Kartagis: can you give a specific example of what you expected and what you found?
[13:34] <knoppies> D-Dalus, either filtering by IP/domain name, or DNS filtering, DNS filtering is easy to get around, IP/domain is a bit harder, but not impossible.
[13:34] <jrib> admgy22: read « man sudoers ».  To edit, use « sudo visudo ».    Can you pastebin the contents of your /etc/sudoers?
[13:35] <D-Dalus> nothing of that
[13:35] <D-Dalus> knoppies, it's my home conection
[13:35] <admgy22> jrib: okay... to do that, I shoudl do "sudo visudo", right?
[13:35] <jrib> admgy22: if you want.
[13:35] <knoppies> D-Dalus, then probably a DNS issue, what happens if you try something like youtube? or even some low traffic site?
[13:36] <moystard> Hello everyone, I have a question :) I actually use my laptop on a dock, and switch really often between single and dual monitors configuration. It is not well managed by the nvidia driver natively as I have to manually change the configuration through nvidia settings which is quite painful. Is there out there an utility that could automate the process?
[13:36] <jrib> !bugs | shockrates, to file a bug:
[13:36] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, youtube and the result of the google searches works, but you can't acces to the results of the searches
[13:37] <knoppies> D-Dalus, give me the domain name of a site that you cannot access.
[13:38] <shockrates> jrib: its not a bug
[13:38] <shockrates> jrib: the idiots just uploaded their sources on servers that fail everytime
[13:38] <dch_ub> any ideas about fork()  returning err 11?
[13:38] <Kartagis> jrib: I went on to localhost/fass and saw the site. then I looked at the source and saw /sites/fass/whatever.css. I clicked on that line and I got the message http://localhost/sites/fass/whatever.css not found. however it should have been localhost/fass/sites/fass/whatever.css
[13:38] <shockrates> i had this problem when installing wien in any distro
[13:38] <jrib> shockrates: how is it not a bug.  You claim that the package relies on servers that do not respond.  It's a bug, i.e. an issue that needs to be fixed.  Also please stop calling people names, that's not necessary nor helpful
[13:39] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, www.hackforums.net
[13:39] <jrib> moystard: I may have something for you but my memory is failing.  One second...
[13:39] <jwtiyar> thats my problem ,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyy9p6tUvjo , ubuntu 11.04
[13:39] <moystard> jrib, thank you.
[13:39] <knoppies> D-Dalus, try put this in your browser: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[13:40] <bazhang> jwtiyar, please provide a synopsis here
[13:40] <admgy22> codepad.org/PSsJ00F5
[13:40] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, It doesn't work
[13:40] <knoppies> D-Dalus, then I dont think it is a DNS issue. Could your ISP be filtering that site?
[13:41] <admgy22> is this an unusual sudoers setup?
[13:42] <BluesKaj> D-Dalus, what kind of network are you working from ?
[13:42] <jrib> admgy22: it's usually the "admin" group in ubuntu afaik.  Maybe there's some alternative setup that makes it "sudo" by default.  Anyway, the way /etc/sudoers is now, anyone in the "sudo" group can sudo.  So if you want to remove sudo access for USER, just remove USER from the "sudo" group (use the « deluser USER sudo » command
[13:43] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, no i don think so.
[13:43] <admgy22> oh okay
[13:43] <jrib> moystard: I know there exists a 3rd party tool to allow control from the command line and you could probably write a udev rule for it.  Still trying to remember its name and google-fu is not strong atm
[13:44] <admgy22> this makes sense, as I know that the way it was added was with "adduser"
[13:44] <Kartagis> jrib: so, any solution for me?
[13:44] <jrib> moystard: found it! http://willem.engen.nl/projects/disper/  Kept thinking "whisper"
[13:44] <Kartagis> solutions*
[13:44] <knoppies> D-Dalus, I am not sure what to try next.
[13:44] <admgy22> there was also something about /etc/passwd, about /etc/group, about useradd -G sudo, usermod -a -G sudo,
[13:44] <D-Dalus> Blueskaj, well the problem is that i conncet to internet through a router (ZXV10 W300) and i wanted direct acceso to the net, so i configured it in "Bridge Mode" and created a DSL conection in Ubuntu, and it doesn't give me full acces and i don understand why
[13:45] <admgy22> so I wonder what the steps are to reverse those...
[13:45] <moystard> jrib, cheers, I will definitely have a look at that :)
[13:45] <jrib> admgy22: « deluser USER sudo » will remove USER from sudo.  The commands you listed, add a user to the sudo group
[13:45] <jrib> Kartagis: don't know
[13:46] <jrib> Kartagis: you might see if httrack does a better job, I suppose
[13:46] <knoppies> D-Dalus, if you can create an SSH tunnel, then try use that, alternative try use a proxy site, or even give the tor network a try. That might solve your issue. Otherwise I am not sure how to fix your router problem.
[13:47] <knoppies> admgy22, is it not a good idea to format/re-install the server, seeing as you are assuming that the previous admin did not leave any backdoors for himself open.
[13:47] <Zesturian> I'm a bit confused, why is there no curl.so in this: http://pastesite.com/24491
[13:48] <jrib> Zesturian: me too :D
[13:49] <jrib> Zesturian: what ubuntu version?  On 11.04 apt-file lists /usr/lib/php5/20090626/curl.so
[13:49] <knoppies> Is there a way to get apt (or something similar) to list all the available packages similar to the way ls does files? (I have a small local repository, we are not talking about thousands of packages).
[13:50] <Odisha1> hello
[13:50] <Zesturian> jrib, maverick
[13:50] <jrib> knoppies: aptitude search '.'    maybe?
[13:50] <D-Dalus> Knoppies, thanks for the ideas. but what really bothers me is that i don't understand why it it doesn't work. It should! It's not a DNS issue.
[13:50] <glenn> can some one help me with thunderbird and languages
[13:51] <jrib> knoppies: or apt-cache search '.'   too :D
[13:51] <Abhijit> is there any way to import radio name and address stored in xml format to rhythmbox?
[13:52] <cyberbob> is the number of packages in a debian repo equal to the number of packges in ubuntu repo ?
[13:52] <tsimpson> Zesturian: /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/curl.so should be in the maverick version too
[13:52] <Tyrnis> plop all
[13:53] <Zesturian> tsimpson, strange, I'll try an apt-get update
[13:53] <szal> cyberbob: there tends to be even more pkg'd software for *buntu than for Debian..  though that's hardly a support question & belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:53] <BluesKaj> D-Dalus,  were the original router settings ,not connecting with NM, most routers use ppoe and bridgedLLC for dsl ..I'm curious what the defaults on the router were previous to the changes you made

[14:01] <bazhang> glenn, ask your real question
[14:01] <azv4> sudo -i

[14:03] <BluesKaj> D-Dalus, my question is why ? if it's an ethernet conn , it should just work from the start...modding the router isn't a good idea , the problem can be usually solved more easily in the NM or network interfaces and resolv.conf files
[14:03] <DMKitsch> azv4 how do i change the permissions on it?
[14:03] <Etherael> Anyone know what's up with flash not working in 11.04 in firefox or chrome both?
