[00:00] <Lint> but obscure illegible command lines are
[00:00] <j0hndoe> My laptop spec is 1.8 Ghz / 384 Mb RAM / 764 Mb SWAP, on certain occasion my CPU would reach 100% even though I have 1 to 3 open programs with around 200 Mb of RAM used. I think, maybe it has to be with swap, so I'm thinking of reducing it to 128 Mb, Can I just do that thru Gparted, wont it mess up my system?
[00:00] <Lint> still who can help me troubleshoot boot issue?
[00:00] <j0hndoe> what is your problem Lint
[00:00] <antnash> sraue, tried it......     for i in `find . -name Only*`; do mv $1 `echo $1 | sed -e "s,Only Fools ,,"`; done
[00:00] <Lint> it hangs somewhere in init
[00:01] <antnash> No luck
[00:01] <antnash> said I'm using mv wrong
[00:01] <urlin2u> j0hndoe, reducing the swap size will not change that change the swappiness.
[00:01] <Lint> antnash, filenames have spaces?
[00:01] <antnash> yup
[00:01] <h00k> antnash: I'd recommend #bash for that
[00:01] <antnash> doh
[00:01] <sraue> replace $1 with $i
[00:01] <j0hndoe> urlin2u, so its safe to reduce the size of swap, is that what you're saying?
[00:02] <antnash> yup, saw that right before you said it
[00:02] <qin> antnash: No find, nasted loop:  for i in {1..8}; do for y in {1..12}; do  echo season$i episode$y; done; done;
[00:03] <clemenstimpler> j0hndoe, reducing the size of swap does not minimise the frequency of swapping
[00:03] <urlin2u> j0hndoe, it will not fix the problem, you v=can reduce it you see what I'm saying, this will though to some extent.  http://dammuozz.selfip.com/?p=308
[00:04] <j0hndoe> clemenstimpler, but i read somewhere the more size of swap is the more work cpu does making it lag.. is that true?
[00:04] <urlin2u> j0hndoe, cpu use, and ram use and the swap area are conneted to some extent but high cpu is just that.
[00:05] <urlin2u> swap is for when the ram gets to a certain use j0hndoe
[00:05] <j0hndoe> urlin2u, im trying to edit swap it wont let me delete or shrink or something
[00:05] <clemenstimpler> j0hndoe, general advice: try to diagnose your problem before you copy solutions from the web
[00:06] <urlin2u> j0hndoe, right click then shut off, that will do you no good though.
[00:06] <Lint> I'm not exactly find reinstalling OS each two weeks funny or productive
[00:06] <j0hndoe> urlin2u, no good as in, will it mess up my system?
[00:07] <urlin2u> j0hndoe, it wont fix the problem you describe.
[00:07] <j0hndoe> Link, you got problem with bootloader yes?
[00:07] <Lint> nope, with init
[00:08] <wildbat> johndoe, you will have a slower system or even hangs if you don't have enough memory ( RAM+ SWAP), shrinking do you no good at all ~
[00:08] <j0hndoe> oh i see
[00:09] <\bMike\b> ubottu: css
[00:10] <wildbat> !swap |  j0hndoe for details:
[00:11] <Lint> is it support channel? why only trolls are here?
[00:11] <Corey> Lint: Ask a question, we'll do our best. :0)(
[00:12] <clemenstimpler> in other words: you get what you pay for ;)
[00:12] <urlin2u> Lint, and quit looking in the mirror. ;-)

[00:15] <clemenstimpler> lint, have you done a memtest recently? maybe it's a hardware problem
[00:16] <Lint> of course its not hardware problem, it worked yesterday ?
[00:16] <clemenstimpler> oh sorry
[00:16] <h00k> Lint: Hardware can go bad, it's not too far off-base
[00:17] <Lyca> hi
[00:17] <clemenstimpler> i've been bitten by that myself, that's why i ask, when a problem seems to be difficult to track
[00:17] <Lint> well I have to reinstall now loosing all my software
[00:17] <clemenstimpler> wait lint
[00:18] <p00d73> Lint, you can you aptoncd to back your software up
[00:19] <Lyca> I have an older desktop and it apparantly runs Ubuntu quite poorly, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a lighter distro that I can easily set up a torrent client on?
[00:19] <th0r> Lyca: xubuntu
[00:19] <h00k> !xubuntu | Lyca
[00:19] <p00d73> Lyca: Linux Mint LXDE
[00:19] <Lint> Lyca, dsl is the only linux that work on anything older than 2004
[00:19] <clemenstimpler> lint: dpkg --get-selections | grep "\binstall" | awk '{print $1}' > /tmp/dpkg.log gives you a list of isntalled packages
[00:19] <Lyca> The thing is it has to support a bit torrent client
[00:20] <clemenstimpler> sudo xargs -n1 apt-get --reinstall install -y < /tmp/dpkg.log
[00:20] <p00d73> Lint totally not true
[00:20] <Dr_Willis|2> Lyca:  about ANY distro can do that.
[00:20] <th0r> Lyca: try either xubuntu or lubuntu, the hardware should be sufficient for those
[00:20] <clemenstimpler> helps you to recover your installed packets
[00:20] <clemenstimpler> -packets + packages
[00:20] <Dr_Willis|2> Lyca:  you dont even need a gui for a bittorrent client.
[00:20] <Lyca> ok, i'll look into that. thank you all for your answers
[00:20] <Lint> I cannot backup anything until I boot
[00:21] <p00d73> Lint, I have a '95 machine running LM DE
[00:21] <p00d73> totally fine
[00:21] <Lint> lm?
[00:21] <h00k> Lint: please stop with the false statements.
[00:21] <clemenstimpler> is there a way to recover a list of installed packages from a boot via live-cd?
[00:21] <th0r> Lint: my mentor used to say you fix linux, you don't reinstall linux. But your attitude is turning off the very people you need to help you out
[00:21] <bazhang> p00d73, linux mint is offtopic here please dont recommend it
[00:22] <p00d73> bazhang, lubuntu is offtopic too in the ubuntu channel?
[00:22] <clemenstimpler> Lint: do you get any specific error messages?
[00:22] <clemenstimpler> i. e. where exactly do you hang?
[00:22] <bazhang> p00d73, no
[00:22] <Dr_Willis|2> p00d73:  Lubuntu is an offical variant. (well almost totally official now)
[00:23] <p00d73> okay, let's say that lubuntu is on topic
[00:23] <Lint> last message was 'checking battery state... OK'
[00:23] <p00d73> why would recommending an other distro for other usage be offtopic?
[00:23] <p00d73> it's about solving problems right?
[00:23] <bazhang> p00d73, this is ubuntu support only,  not debain, mint bt etc
[00:23] <h00k> p00d73: because this is the Ubuntu support channel, not 'distro recommending channel.'
[00:24] <Onlyodin> What on earth is Lubuntu?
[00:24] <bazhang> p00d73, thats ##linux
[00:24] <Dr_Willis|2> its about providing official ubuntu (and official variant support)
[00:24] <gry> !lubuntu | Onlyodin
[00:24] <bazhang> Onlyodin, lxde and openbox
[00:24] <Onlyodin> ahh
[00:24] <Dr_Willis|2> Onlyodin:  Ubuntu with the LXDE desktop.  - its good for low end machines
[00:24] <Dr_Willis|2> Onlyodin:  using it now on most of my machines
[00:24] <jeremy420> i just installed kubuntu and updated it but cannot get flash to work says its installed but doesnt work ?

[00:25] <Lint> it could be nice if not pcmanfm, which is worse than win95 explorer

[00:25] <p00d73> he asks for a recommendation
[00:25] <p00d73> I give my honest opinion
[00:26] <jeremy420> i just installed kubuntu and updated it but cannot get flash to work says its installed but doesnt work ?
[00:26] <clemenstimpler> how did you install it jeremy420?
[00:26] <clemenstimpler> flash that is jeremy420
[00:26] <Dr_Willis> p00d73:  but then you feel the need to insult us when we state our opinion and how the channel guidelines are..
[00:27] <jeremy420> i downloaded the kubuntu extras pkg
[00:27] <jeremy420> restricted extras
[00:27] <Dr_Willis> jeremy420:  what browser are you trying flash in?
[00:27] <jeremy420> firefox
[00:27] <Lint> now I would appreciate someone to stop useless replics about linux philosophy and attitude and actually helped me to troubleshoot

[00:28] <EyePulp> howdy - I have a failing upstart conf - is there a log location I can go to see why it's failing?
[00:28] <clemenstimpler> Lint, i've asked you some minutes ago, and you didn't reply
[00:28] <Tru3fate> can anyone explain when i start up ubuntu it goes thru its self test and saids kvm fails. how can i  fix.
[00:28] <jo-erlend> Dr_Willis, I finally figured Synergy out. Turned out I had just misunderstood something. This is great! Thanks for the tip! I've wanted this for ages :)
[00:28] <Dr_Willis> clemenstimpler:  too late. :)
[00:29] <Dr_Willis> jo-erlend:  yep. the config is simple. but picky. at least yoi dident spend 4 hrs like i did trying to run synergyc via ssh...
[00:29] <Dr_Willis> jo-erlend:  the x forwarding really messed things up for me. :) pointer was going to the left side.. then reappearing on the right side.. on teh same pc. :)
[00:29] <clemenstimpler> Dr_Willis, I'm very glad I don't do this for a living ;)
[00:29] <jo-erlend> Dr_Willis, haha
[00:29] <p00d73> Dr_Willis, if an op could come over and tell me I'm violating the rules by recommending another distro, I'll apologize to you
[00:30] <Lyca> is transmission the only BT client you can get for xubuntu?
[00:30] <jo-erlend> Dr_Willis, does this work without X?
[00:30] <IdleOne> p00d73: you are violating the rules
[00:30] <urlin2u> lol
[00:30] <IdleOne> now please get back on topic
[00:30] <IdleOne> thank you.
[00:30] <th0r> Lyca: qbittorent, deluge, and a few others
[00:30] <mld> Hey everyone, working with a mini-pci-express card.. console only.. getting "No Carrier" is that purely a carrier issue, or could it be the device driver also... 3g CDMA card
[00:30] <Dr_Willis> Lyca:  thers  dozen of bittorrent clients out there.
[00:30] <p00d73> IdleOne, I'm your mother
[00:30] <th0r> lyca I run xfce and use qbitorrent
[00:31] <Lyca> i know there is, but im very new to the linux scene. im still trying to figure it out
[00:31] <clemenstimpler> Lyca, you find them by opening synaptic and entering 'torrent' in the search box
[00:31] <clemenstimpler> then you google the single programs and form an opinion
[00:31] <Dr_Willis> Lyca:  theres even uTorrent ported to linux (web interface only, 32bit only)
[00:31] <Lyca> im considering either xubuntu or lubuntu, but im wondering if there would be a disadvantage if i got lubuntu as compared to xubuntu
[00:31] <Dr_Willis> Lyca:  i tend to use qbittorrent. the exact ubuntu variant wont matter much.
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> Lyca:  if you have a low end system. try lubuntu first
[00:32] <th0r> Lyca: you will find lxde lighter than xfce, but you will find xfce more configurable and maybe a little more powerful
[00:32] <EyePulp> when I run "sudo service foo start" where can I look to see why it fails?
[00:32] <Lyca> hmm
[00:32] <clemenstimpler> Lyca, some programs are tied to particular environments: if you install ktorrent on a lubuntu install, it will draw in many dependent packages
[00:32] <Lyca> this is the computer im running it on, if you guys wouldnt mind checking out the specs
[00:32] <Lyca> http://www.recycledgoods.com/products/Sony-PCV-RX670-Vaio-PCV-7742-P4-1.8-GHz-512-MB-80-GB-DVD-RW-CD-R.html
[00:33] <aaas> jo-erlend: the problem with synergy is that you cant move windows between monitors hopefully you don't find it annoying like i did
[00:33] <jo-erlend> aaas, that would be cool. But that's not something I need.
[00:33] <th0r> Lyca: I used to do system performance analysis for work. I think you will find xfce and lxde pretty close as far as utilization of system resources. A more important decision will probably be which software you choose to use with it
[00:34] <urlin2u> Lyca, you might try both on a thumb drive.
[00:34] <linux_is_my_hero> i have a wireless network with 3 ubuntu machines one windows machine. how do i set up wireless print server & sharing across the network?
[00:34] <atdprhs> Hey, what is the best application should I use to clean up disk space?
[00:34] <urlin2u> atdprhs, bleachbit
[00:35] <aaas> jo-erlend: well it may not be that important to you but once you get used to being able to shove things around you won't want to go back...well thats what it was for me
[00:35] <atdprhs> Thank you urlin2u
[00:35] <clemenstimpler> atdprhs, i use ncdu - it's ncurses based so it runs in the terminal

[00:40] <FerretWithASpork> How do I set commands to run on startup?
[00:40] <Dr_Willis> FerretWithASpork:  depends on the commands..
[00:40] <remington> I love your name Ferret, lol
[00:41] <atdprhs> I noticed just now that it gives me authentication error
[00:41] <urlin2u> FerretWithASpork, these is stsrtup applications, what do you want running then?
[00:41] <FerretWithASpork> Dr_Willis: Want to have my NTFS partition mount on startup
[00:41] <urlin2u> there
[00:41] <atdprhs> I am using user that is Admin, I suppose, but I'm not using root
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> FerretWithASpork:  make a proper fstab entry for it.
[00:41] <atdprhs> should I run it from root?
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g | FerretWithASpork
[00:41] <urlin2u> atdprhs, no admin asked for password right?
[00:41] <FerretWithASpork> Dr_Willis: Thanks
[00:42] <atdprhs> no
[00:42] <atdprhs> it didn't ask for password
[00:42] <atdprhs> should I run it from terminal with sudo command?
[00:42] <urlin2u> atdprhs, you are using the regular the admin syas bleachbit root.
[00:42] <urlin2u> says
[00:44] <remington> My onboard sound is capable of 8 channel audio, but ubuntu wont give me options for anything above stereo duplex. (I'm on 11.04 x64)
[00:45] <urlin2u> atdprhs, you could but blaechbit has a regular and root access in the menu. I have had to run it in the terminal to get it set the first time.
[00:45] <urlin2u> atdprhs, gksudo though
[00:46] <chroot> ls
[00:47] <Dr_Willis|2> ls - command not found.
[00:47] <atdprhs> I don't see "bleachbit root"
[00:47] <atdprhs> hold on, the os keeps freezing once in a while
[00:47] <urlin2u> atdprhs, run it int he terminal gksudo bleachbit   should show there after that.
[00:47] <atdprhs> done
[00:48] <atdprhs> please send me the full command urlin2u?
[00:48] <IdleOne> full command:  gksudo bleachbit
[00:48] <Dr_Willis|2> gksudo bleachbit    is the full command. :)
[00:48] <dougaitken> anyone used ecryptfs before?
[00:48] <urlin2u> atdprhs, gksudo bleachbit
[00:48] <atdprhs> I did that but it gave me an error :S
[00:48] <Dr_Willis|2> and the error was?

[00:50] <LePato> Hi. I've just run Natty Narwhal from CD and I had to restart the session. Now it asks for a username/password. Any help appreciated
[00:51] <urlin2u> atdprhs, try it again that happens.
[00:51] <atdprhs> I typed sudo bleachbit and it worked
[00:51] <urlin2u> cool
[00:51] <atdprhs> I did
[00:51] <atdprhs> I'll post another paste
[00:52] <h00k> LePato: I think the username is 'ubuntu' with no password.
[00:52] <urlin2u> atdprhs, gksudo and sudo are the same gk for graphcs is all.
[00:52] <h00k> LePato: Alternatively, reboot.
[00:52] <atdprhs> I only typed sudo and it worked
[00:53] <LePato> Thanks h00k!!! I tried that, but with 'ubuntu' as password.
[00:53] <atdprhs> here is what gksudo gave me again after I tried again:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/673457/
[00:53] <h00k> LePato: ;)
[00:53] <urlin2u> atdprhs, bleachbit always fails the first sudo or gksudo you ran sudo the second time.
[00:54] <atdprhs> I ran sudo the third time

[00:56] <Danny> I' ve been using Ubuntu for about two years and is fantastic
[00:57] <atdprhs> well, sudo does the job, right?
[00:57] <atdprhs> urlin2u, yup I know ;)

[00:58] <PDunny> whats a cool game for ubuntu?
[00:58] <h00k> !games | PDunny
[00:59] <urlin2u> bleacbit isn't a true graphics app, basically I guess. atdprhs
[00:59] <dougaitken> hey, anyone used ecryptfs before?
[00:59] <jeremy420> Alien arena has some nice graphics
[00:59] <h00k> dougaitken: what's your actual question regarding ecryptfs?
[00:59] <djjonex> how do i setup a file sharing server in ubuntu for my home network ?
[00:59] <FerretWithASpork> Dr_Willis: I got them to mount on boot with fstab entries but is there any way to get rid of their icons on the desktop?
[01:00] <atdprhs> I didn't grow up on Linux, I grew up on Windows, so I'm not really experienced with linux except for 1-2 years but not in a row, but I'm back because I love it! And this is my 2nd time using Bleachbit and this is the first time running it into an admin mode
[01:01] <urlin2u> FerretWithASpork, gconf-editor
[01:01] <Dr_Willis> FerretWithASpork:  gnome settings.. somewhere.
[01:01] <Jokn> djjonex: File sharing as in media sharing or mapped network drives?
[01:01] <Dr_Willis> djjonex:  install samba if you want to access/share files to windows boxs
[01:01] <atdprhs> so I don't know if it's a true graphics app, but maybe...
[01:01] <dougaitken> so i was / am running 10.10 and I have 3 accounts, main, a random test account & a guest account. Anyway, I was wanting to wipe my android phone via ADB. And I ran rm -rf *
[01:01] <atdprhs> 1 minute remaining
[01:02] <urlin2u> atdprhs, still cleanng?
[01:02] <h00k> dougaitken: who were you logged in as?
[01:02] <dougaitken> I thought i ran it in the ADB shell but I ran it in my home dir. I Ctrl+C, stopped the command & nothing happened so thought i was fine
[01:02] <atdprhs> yea
[01:02] <dougaitken> my main user account
[01:02] <urlin2u> atdprhs, you cleaning the whole disc I se.;-)
[01:02] <urlin2u> see
[01:02] <dougaitken> but I shutdown my system, tried to log in next day & it flings me errors
[01:02] <h00k> dougaitken: do you have backups?
[01:03] <dougaitken> my Dropbox but no music / video / other files backup
[01:03] <atdprhs> my file system is now officially 0 bytes :D but I know it will rise up suddenly like it did the last time when I ran it in none root mode
[01:03] <urlin2u> atdprhs, are you running as root generally?
[01:03] <dougaitken> my main issue is that Im using my test account, but I've tried to run ecryptfs off a thumb drive but for some reasons cant get my original home dir to copy to external drive properly
[01:04] <atdprhs> no
[01:04] <urlin2u> cool
[01:04] <atdprhs> usually my username, but when it asks for root authentication, I give it, sometimes, I have to if I'm gonna play with the file system

[01:05] <dougaitken> aye its already been set up & i ran the ecryptfs command. ,it says it unlocked but its not letting me copy it. its possibly to do with my ext drive but wanted to make sure I was doing it right.
[01:05] <djjonex> how I join another channel?
[01:05] <henry-> I'm trying to access my samsung phone's files
[01:05] <atdprhs> I actually installed Ubuntu on Flash Drive, it's much better than installing it onto a computer hard drive, it will run slower yes, but it gives you portability in return
[01:05] <henry->  /join #channel djjonex
[01:05] <h00k> djjonex: /join #channelname
[01:06] <djjonex> thanks guys
[01:06] <dougaitken> I followed along to this: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.dustinkirkland.com%2F2011%2F04%2Fintroducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html&rct=j&q=ubuntu%20ecryptfs%20how%20to%20dustin&ei=e05UTs2zHpHdsgaMs7Af&usg=AFQjCNFXOEMmmdsBSuc8LCand3aBQMaiJQ&sig2=jttoMSqbvV29rAw5izME8A&cad=rja
[01:06] <dougaitken> damnhttp://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html
[01:06] <henry-> is there a way to forcefully mount (I know, heh) an usb device?
[01:06] <henry-> http://pastebin.com/Pg2igUD1
[01:06] <henry-> I'm trying to access the files on my samsung gt-s5600 phone
[01:07] <dougaitken> but for some reason I cant mount the drive
[01:07] <henry-> when I attach it, I see a window pop up and then immediately close
[01:07] <phrostbite> what is the firefox extension that allows scripts to run?
[01:07] <atdprhs> haha, when i refresh my /, it doesn't show the free space anymore, it got tired of showing 0 bytes hehe :D
[01:08] <urlin2u> phrostbite, do you mean the blocker noscript
[01:08] <phrostbite> urlin2u, I forget what it is. I remember I had it and then installed a script so that on facebook it stopped the slideshow and showed the pictures inline
[01:09] <th0r> henry-: unplug the device, open a terminal and 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. Then plug in the device and see if it is recognized (/dev/sdb, /dev/hdb, etc). If so, you should be able to mount it using the mount command
[01:09] <front243> phrostbite, could be greasemonkey
[01:09] <dougaitken> h00k, i'll have a read through that page, thanks.
[01:09] <phrostbite> front243, Yeah thats it :)
[01:09] <urlin2u> phrostbite, greasemonkey
[01:10] <henry-> th0r, it shows up in lsusb
[01:10] <atdprhs> I think it froze on 0 Minutes remaining
[01:12] <atdprhs> urlin2u, does it usually froze?
[01:12] <urlin2u> atdprhs, it can seem like it, maybe so, never seen it happen.
[01:12] <henry-> this is what I get in tail: http://pastebin.com/FQBz7P6w
[01:12] <th0r> henry-: that is your pastebin, right? it doesn't show what device it is, and you need that to mount it
[01:12] <henry-> th0r,
[01:12] <mld> anyone know why wvdialer says "no carrier" (cdma mini-pci-express card) is there a way to debug that?
[01:12] <atdprhs> urlin2u, is it because of the 0 bytes that my disk space became?
[01:13] <th0r> henry-: /dev/sdb. Type 'mount' in the terminal and see if /dev/sdb is mounted somewhere. If not you should be able to mount it
[01:13] <urlin2u> atdprhs, I only know how to push the button and wait.
[01:13] <atdprhs> urlin2u, is it possible to give "/" more free space from "home", I'm not technically using it yet
[01:13] <atdprhs> hahahahaha
[01:13] <urlin2u> atdprhs, I never wipe the whole free space, it might have froze
[01:14] <urlin2u> atdprhs, you have a seperate home?
[01:14] <henry-> "mount sdb" "mount sdb1" won't work
[01:14] <henry-> "can't find"!
[01:14] <urlin2u> henry-, /dev/sdxX
[01:15] <atdprhs> it was 387 MB, when I started the bleach bit to start cleaning, it killed the free space completely
[01:16] <th0r> henry-: try mount /dev/sdb, but I think you will have to create a  mount point (a simple folder) and then use a full mount command.
[01:17] <henry-> what's the syntax for the full mount command?
[01:17] <atdprhs> yeah
[01:17] <atdprhs> urlin2u, I do have a seperate home
[01:17] <th0r> henry-: assuming the simple command doesn't work. Create a folder in your home (mkdir /home/username/tempmnt). Then issue this command 'mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /home/username/tempmnt....put your username in both commands
[01:18] <Gus> I need some help guys!
[01:18] <henry-> don't we all Gus ;D
[01:18] <Gus> How can I get my HDD back to NTFS on Ubuntu?
[01:18] <hydrozen> Hi. I have an EC2 small instance running Lucid, and it's reporting high average loads but the cpu seems idle most of the time… is it possible that it's reporting false data?
[01:18] <WHAT_UP> I don't know where to ask this, but what would be the correct way to make my /home partition change from primary to logical?
[01:18] <urlin2u> atdprhs, you would I think change the partitions in gparted, seems like a waste though, unless it is really messed up.
[01:18] <th0r> henry-: and you might need /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb
[01:19] <henry-> henry@main:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /home/samsungmount
[01:19] <henry-> mount: mount point /home/samsungmount does not exist
[01:19] <hydrozen> the machine feels pretty responsive too… doesnt feel slow
[01:19] <geth022> I am having a hard time connecting to my wireless internet through my Ubuntu OS. Am i on the right channel for this?
[01:19] <Gus>  How can I get my HDD back to NTFS on Ubuntu? It is FAT32 right now!
[01:19] <th0r> henry-: you need to create the mountpoint.....if your username is 'henry' then mkdir /home/henry/tempmnt
[01:20] <urlin2u> Gus, you want the info on it now/
[01:20] <Gus> Yes
[01:20] <urlin2u> Gus, you will need to pull it off to change.
[01:20] <henry-> it exists th0r
[01:20] <Gus> I need to make the HDD NTFS
[01:20] <Gus> ?
[01:20] <th0r> henry-: then you should be able to use it in the mount command
[01:21] <Gus> I don't have Windows on the PC just Ubuntu
[01:21] <Gus> So I want to know how to make it NTFS
[01:21] <geth022> I know i have the correct setup for the actual internet modem thing, it works fine for this computer right here, but it is not registering it in ubuntu B///
[01:21] <henry-> now it claims that neither sdb or sdb1 exist
[01:21] <henry-> :S
[01:21] <henry-> could it be the phone's programming?
[01:21] <frankbro> Is there a site where I can find reviews on how well a GPU is supported with the proprietary drivers?
[01:21] <Gus> HELP D;
[01:21] <th0r> Gus: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-reformat-an-external-hard-drive-to-ntfs-format-in-ubuntu-hardy/2008/09/29
[01:22] <henry-> you'll need to repartition the drive Gus
[01:22] <Gus> Ok
[01:22] <mecablaze> I am trying to get a cron job to work. I have it running under root (sudo crontab -e). The command is a python script. It runs fine when I run it through the terminal, but it errors out when it runs through the cron job (via /var/log/syslog)
[01:22] <Gus> This will work on a internal correct?
[01:22] <henry-> oh, an external drive
[01:22] <henry-> if you change the filesystem type it will erase all data! Gus
[01:22] <henry-> so back up your data
[01:23] <th0r> henry-: it appears from the pastebin that it is recognized as /dev/sdb, so that command should work. But I have never worked with a phone...so there may be something else involved
[01:23] <Gus> Ok, so how do I make my internal HDD NTFS?
[01:23] <urlin2u> Gus, using that ink will wipe the info in formatting a ntfs
[01:23] <urlin2u> link
[01:23] <Gus> Even Internal?
[01:24] <atdprhs> urlin2u, won't I need to change the configuration of the home folder to be located on the /
[01:24] <urlin2u> Gus, yes you have to remove the data to be saved then make a NTFS then reoad it
[01:24] <urlin2u> reload
[01:24] <henry-> I have a hunch that it's coded in the phones software to only allow their software to access the phone th0r
[01:24] <Gus> How? That shows external
[01:25] <urlin2u> atdprhs, not really an area of expertse for me I have only one partition per install.
[01:25] <henry-> you're on ubuntu Gus?
[01:25] <henry-> there's a partition manager
[01:25] <calwig> Dr_Willis: you there?
[01:25] <th0r> henry-: that may be. I have never tried to interface a cell to a computer.
[01:25] <Gus> Where?
[01:25] <calwig> xrdodrx: You there
[01:25] <calwig> Sorry Im gonna paste this
[01:25] <calwig> Section "InputDevice" Identifier	"Synaptics Touchpad" Driver		"synaptics" Option		"SendCoreEvents"	"true" Option		"Device"	"/dev/psaux" Option		"Protocol"	"auto-dev" Option		"HorizEdgeScroll"	"1"
[01:25] <pietro10> Is this the channel for Ubuntu Software Center? If so, my setup is stuck on 5 removes and asking me to confirm removal of a sixth that has cross-dpeendencies that I meed to remove too. What should I do -- kill it?
[01:26] <phrostbite> Is there a way in firefox to open multiple tabs when the application is opened?
[01:26] <urlin2u> Gus, in windows I think you can convert look on the web
[01:26] <pietro10> specifically the modal dialog box will not respond to button presses
[01:26] <calwig> HorizEdgeScroll was set to 0 instead of being set to 1 for some reason. So I just set it to 1 and it worked. Scroll mouse working.
[01:26] <Gus> The computer doesn't have Windows
[01:26] <Gus> Only Ubuntu
[01:26] <henry-> get gnome partition editor from software center Gus
[01:26] <Gus> Ok
[01:26] <Gus> Be right back
[01:27] <frankbro> Is there a site where I can find reviews on how well a GPU is supported with the proprietary drivers?
[01:27] <henry-> back up your data Gus
[01:27] <urlin2u> Gus, okay then your question is answered, to be honest you wold back it up anyway
[01:27] <atdprhs> free space is now 1 GB
[01:27] <atdprhs> i'll restart my computer
[01:27] <hidensoft> hi
[01:27] <Gus> Ok
[01:27] <hidensoft> i configure vpn connection but i can see that , how i can connect to vpn ?
[01:28] <urlin2u> hello ubuntu help, we do miracles.
[01:28] <pietro10> hidensoft: I don't understand. What do you mean
[01:30] <PuffTheMagic> .
[01:31] <hidensoft> pietro10: how i can establish a VPN connection ? i make it , but i don't know how i can do this
[01:32] <pietro10> hidensoft: hm. So you created a VPN connection but you don't know how to connect to it?
[01:32] <hidensoft> vpn connection menu in network manager applet just have 2 submenu , configure vpn and disconnect vpn
[01:33] <pietro10> hidensoft: choose Configure VPN
[01:33] <hidensoft> pietro10:  ok
[01:33] <hidensoft> i see my vpn connection
[01:33] <pietro10> ...huh.
[01:33] <pietro10> so it's configured properly, but not showing up in the menu? that's odd
[01:34] <pietro10> sadly I don't know how to fix it; does anyone else here know?
[01:34] <hidensoft> yes
[01:34] <hidensoft> this is bug ?
[01:34] <hidensoft> holy shit
[01:35] <prezident> does anybody know how to change gnome3 boot screen ?
[01:36] <gry> !gnome3 | prezident
[01:36] <gry> prezident: There also is irc://irc.gnome.org if you want more details on some of tht
[01:37] <prezident> gry, thanx
[01:37] <hidensoft> prezident: i see some application do this , but i don't know names , search in google you find it ;)
[01:37] <gry> prezident:  #gnome on here as well if you can't or don't want to connect
[01:37] <th0r> henry-: I gather you are trying to interface a samsung phone?
[01:37] <pietro10> So I still don't know. Ubuntu Software Center is not responding to events; only playing the sound effect and showing the animations. It's stuck on a dialogue asking me to remove a cross-dependency to a package I am trying to remove. 5 other removes are in progress. What should I do?
[01:38] <prezident> hidensoft, gry thanx
[01:38] <henry-> samsung gt-s5600 th0r
[01:38] <henry-> I just want to access the videos and photos on it's microSD
[01:40] <archimede> salve a tutti
[01:40] <urlin2u> pietro10, maybe if your more vague we can help you. ;-)
[01:40] <th0r> henry-: I haven't found a reference to that particular model, but I have found several sites concerning interfacing linux to a samsung. This one looks promising....but is compile from source...http://www.bitpim.org
[01:41] <pietro10> urlin2u: huh? I don't understand what's vague about it
[01:41] <bure4st037> hello, I have a problem with aptoncd
[01:41] <bure4st037> can anyone help me?
[01:42] <gry> bure4st037: If you ask the full question please.
[01:42] <bure4st037> I made a backup on a .iso some months ago, want to make a restore now
[01:42] <bure4st037> but can't burn the .iso
[01:42] <Gus_> Hey
[01:42] <Gus_> Me again
[01:43] <bure4st037> if I open aptoncd and press restore
[01:43] <bure4st037> it says it can't find cd's
[01:43] <gry> bure4st037: On one line pretty please
[01:43] <urlin2u> pietro10, not a name of a single package
[01:43] <gry> bure4st037: What's te full error message, do you have a write-capable drive available
[01:43] <pietro10> the package I'm trying to remove I think is called heroes; it also wants me to remove heroes-sdl; and i dunno the names of the other 5 packages only that they're all games
[01:44] <bure4st037> first it says "No cd", then "E: Unable to stat the mount point /media/cdrom/ - stat (2: No such file or directory)
[01:44] <bure4st037> E: Unable to stat the mount point /media/cdrom/ - stat (2: No such file or directory)
[01:44] <bure4st037> E: Failed to mount the cdrom.
[01:44] <bure4st037> "
[01:44] <gogeta> bure4st037: :(
[01:45] <urlin2u> pietro10, the software center can be problematic, you want to run each process then the next.
[01:45] <th0r> henry-: this guy got his working....http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,73657.0.html
[01:45] <Lint> pietro10, synaptic is times better
[01:45] <Gus_> http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/3632/selection033.png How do I format my HDD
[01:46] <gogeta> Lint: wait to you see the new html5 one
[01:46] <pietro10> thanks, but how do I get out of the situation I am in now?
[01:46] <gogeta> Gus_: just delete and make a new partation
[01:46] <maahes> without a PWM module, how can I force acpi to run my fan at 100%? There is fan control going on for some reason, but fancontrol told me I had no PWM modules
[01:46] <urlin2u> Gus,  backup what's there deleta and mae antfs
[01:46] <Gus_> How?
[01:46] <Gus_> How do I delete?
[01:47] <gogeta> Gus_: RIGHT CLICK DELETE
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> bure4st037:  make sure there is a /media/cdrom directory?
[01:47] <gogeta> Gus_: lol dam capslock
[01:47] <hydrozen> is it possible that Lucid doesnt report correct average load on EC2? I'm getting average load between 2-4 while the cpu seems to be idle. Doesnt make sense… and the machine feels responsive.
[01:47] <Gus_> Won't let me select it
[01:47] <bure4st037> Dr_Willis, I made one and mounted the .iso in it
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> bure4st037:  but for burning an iso file.. im not sure why you need to do that.
[01:47] <urlin2u> Gus, right click the swap then swap off then right click it and delete then sda1 delete then sda 2delete
[01:47] <gogeta> Gus_: you would need to do it on the live cd
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> bure4st037:  oh. you are trying to  fake it out. :)
[01:47] <bure4st037> still didn't work, and burning is not an option
[01:48] <Gus_> On the live CD?
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> could be its trying to remount it or somthing bure4st037  ive never used aptoncd
[01:48] <urlin2u> Gus, yes on a live cd of course
[01:48] <gogeta> Gus_: yea you cant reformat a drive in use
[01:48] <Gus_> How do I do that?
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> gogeta:  well :) you can.. but its not nice.. heh...
[01:48] <urlin2u> Gus, are you just trying to install windows?
[01:49] <Gus_> Yes, but my HDD needs to be NTFS and it isn't right now
[01:49] <gogeta> Gus_: windows can do it
[01:49] <Gus_> I don't have windows on it right now
[01:49] <urlin2u> Gus, windows will make the NTFS for you.
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> Gus_:  windows installer disk can do it. or perhaps try the gparted live cd. that way nothing is in use.
[01:49] <Gus_> No
[01:49] <Gus_> Windows installer won;t
[01:49] <Gus_> It fails
[01:50] <Gus_> It says it can't do it
[01:50] <Dr_Willis> so the core of the issue is windows installer failing.. :) and you are trying to work around it.
[01:50] <Gus_> And restarts my PC
[01:50] <gogeta> Gus_: in the installer when it shows the partations slect delete on all of them
[01:50] <urlin2u> Gus, I doubt that but use a live ubuntucd or gparted cd
[01:50] <pietro10> k how about this
[01:50] <Gus_> It doesn't get that far
[01:50] <pietro10> if I force quit Ubuntu Software Center in this situation, will Iscrew up my pakcage database?
[01:50] <Gus_> It says loading installer folders and then says failed
[01:50] <gogeta> Gus_: i think for 7 you have to slect advanced when it ask where to install
[01:50] <xrdodrx> calwig, you there?
[01:51] <urlin2u> Gus_, if it does not get that far I doun=bt it will instal, kinda important part.
[01:51] <bure4st037> pietro10, if it's running and you close APT, it will fuck up your system
[01:51] <Gus_> I know
[01:51] <Gus_> That's why I need it to be NTS
[01:51] <Gus_> That is why I am here
[01:51] <xrdodrx> !language | bure4st037
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> Gus_:  so to make a ntfs. you could use gparted (or other live cds) or ask in #windows about doing it via a windows disk of some kind.
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> Gus_:  or gparted + the ntfsprogs on ubuntu. if the disk/partitions are not in use.
[01:52] <Gus_> How do I get them not in use?
[01:52] <Gus_> Sorry
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> gparted requires ntfsprogs installed to allow messing with ntfs.
[01:52] <henry-> well hot damn th0r
[01:52] <Gus_> I'm not good with Ubuntu
[01:52] <henry-> it's working
[01:52] <henry-> thanks man
[01:52] <gogeta> Gus_: in windows when it ask what hdd to install on slect advanced it will bring up partations delete all of them then  on the empty tell windows to install there
[01:52] <henry-> you gain 30 wizard points
[01:52] <Gus_> Ok
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> Gus_:  unmount them.. which will be hard to do if you are trying to mess with your / partition.. which is why i mention the live cd's
[01:52] <Gus_> Be back later
[01:52] <th0r> henry-: in all fairness they should go to google <smile>
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> Google is a level 10000000 wizzard.
[01:53] <gogeta> Dr_Willis: what happond to over 9000
[01:53] <gogeta> !!!!
[01:53] <th0r> henry-: you can blacklist that module so it doesn't give you problems after reboot
[01:54] <henry-> I've been trying to google the problem for quite some time now th0r :P
[01:54] <henry-> I just removed the thing
[01:54] <henry-> should be enough, right?
[01:54] <Lint> are there some gui tools for unattended installation?
[01:54] <th0r> henry-: an advantage of knowing nothing....I got real good at the searches
[01:55] <th0r> henry-: that module will reload at reboot....put the module name in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and it won't load again
[01:55] <henry-> aight
[01:56] <henry-> you mean blacklist.conf, right?
[01:57] <th0r> henry-: I think so. I haven't used it in a while...would need to go back to google <smile>
[01:57] <th0r> henry-: yeah...just looked...it is blacklist.conf
[01:58] <henry-> alrighty then!
[02:03] <WarOp> I'm installing packages onto another machine using packages previous downloaded already, and on the other machine after i installed about half its saying "Package is missing final newline"
[02:03] <WarOp> I googled it and it said to try changing /var/lib/dpkg/info to /var/lib/dpkg/info.old
[02:03] <WarOp> just curious what exactly does that do
[02:04] <WarOp> it works but now on some of the packages then it looks like its trying to update some but its not sure whats been installed already
[02:06] <urlin2u> WarOp, any of those from a repo not added, or another source, not in the repo's
[02:07] <WarOp> ya mediaubuntu
[02:07] <wolter> is anybody getting a triple inbox in the messaging menu (from evolution) ?
[02:08] <WarOp> to where its working, but its saying that updating package o this package doesnt seem to be installed
[02:08] <urlin2u> WarOp, is a key missing indicated?
[02:08] <WarOp> dpkg: warning: files list file for package `homebank-data' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
[02:08] <hp00pr> anyone use red5? says network connection rejected when I try to use the demos.. dunno whats wrong.
[02:09] <prezident> does anybody know how to change the splash screen in gnome3 ?
[02:09] <WarOp> so it appears that I installed packages then later on received an update for the packages and now it wont allow me to update due to changing the /var/lib/dpkg/info > /var/lib/dpkg/info.old
[02:10] <IdleOne> WarOp: change it back
[02:10] <WarOp> but if if change it back then it'll give the error "Package Missing final newline"
[02:10] <WarOp> what does that mean
[02:10] <mjreed> where is network manager for 11.04 server?  apt-get says there's no release candidate; I don't see it on the cd...
[02:10] <mjreed> s/release/install/
[02:11] <th0r> WarOp: take a look in the file and see if you can find a package missing a newline at the end of the line
[02:11] <WarOp> trying to install Identical system onto other similiar system
[02:12] <mjreed> I'm trying to set up a server on wifi, and not having much luck.  ath9k card is detected by lspci and lshw but shows DISABLED and doesn't appear in /proc/net/wireless at all.
[02:13] <KM0201> mjreed: a server on wifi?.. thats interesting..
[02:13] <hp00pr> lol
[02:13] <mjreed> yeah, yeah.  i don't have the cat5 run yet.
[02:13] <KM0201> "hey guys, i got a mustang... don't wanna drive it though, who wants to help me push it around town!"
[02:13] <linux_is_my_hero> how do i share a printer over my network so ubuntu and windows can see it?
[02:14] <KM0201> !cups | linux_is_my_hero
[02:14] <mjreed> it's just a home network.
[02:14] <hp00pr> !red5
[02:14] <KM0201> mjreed: doesn't really matter to be truthful.
[02:14] <mjreed> If I were setting up a real server, it'd be a VM in someone's data center. :)
[02:14] <KM0201> still doesn't make sense
[02:15] <mjreed> OK.    I would still like to be able to set the box up without waiting for the wire runs.
[02:16] <th0r> mjreed: I have set up servers on wifi....why not? don't let the clowns mislead you
[02:16] <greg> ok, so I installed the new kernel and now my networking doesn't work unless I use the old kernel.  Do I need to install my realtek drivers while running the new kernel and how do I do that?
[02:16] <WarOP> Computer Rebooted so what does it mean when it says "Package is missing Final newline
[02:17] <mjreed> Thanks, thund3r god.  I appreciate the support.  Any tips on where to look next?  Most of the stuff I found online either requires software that I can't find, or only works if the card shows up in /proc...
[02:17] <mjreed> the old ath_pci driver is not showing up; the ath9k driver is there in lsmod..
[02:17] <th0r> mjreed:  might the server have a hardware switch that is being misread?
[02:17] <WarOP> Googled & found to change /var/lib/dpkg/info > /var/lib/dpkg/info.old
[02:17] <WarOP> which it worked to install the package that was saying Missing final newline
[02:18] <mjreed> nah, it's not a laptop and the wifi is an add-on card with no switch,
[02:18] <Jordan_U> mjreed: You should be able to configure it with /etc/network/interfaces and ifup/ifdown, or use nm-cli if you really want network-manager. But it no showing up in /proc/net/wireless is concerning. I'm pretty sure network-manager won't help fix that.
[02:18] <WarOP> but what trying to install updated packages and it's like it doesnt see the existing packages already installed
[02:18] <mjreed> yeah, i'm trying to get from lshw and lspci to /proc.  I don't know what the missing piece of the puzzle is there.
[02:18] <Jordan_U> mjreed: Can you pastebin the output of "lsmod | grep ath"?
[02:20] <linux_is_my_hero> yeah, i m still really confused by samba, etc....
[02:22] <linux_is_my_hero> how do i find my shared printer on another ubuntu machine?
[02:22] <mjreed> Jordan_U: sure. http://pastebin.com/SfjqgZhE
[02:23] <Sp0tter> whats the easiest way to install amd stream sdk?
[02:23] <Sp0tter> is it in a repo?
[02:23] <mjreed> ignore the wrong pastebin title..
[02:24] <urlin2u> Sp0tter, this http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[02:25] <Sp0tter> amd, not android
[02:25] <neil> in the top command what does the %wa mean? it seems high to me
[02:26] <Sp0tter> opencl for gpu programming
[02:28] <linux_is_my_hero> i can't find my shared printer.
[02:29] <e_t_> linux_is_my_hero: You have two Ubuntu computers, and you want to print from one to the other?
[02:29] <linux_is_my_hero> e_t_: yes. the long-term goal is to  also print from windows to the ubuntu, but im focused on ubuntu to ubuntu FIRST.
[02:29] <dialtone> found the bug with the free space problem, it was definitely that some files where left open
[02:29] <dialtone> somehow they wouldn't appear on 'lsof' but only in 'lsof /'
[02:30] <pmp6nl> Hello, in 10.04 when I go to places and try to open documents etc. I get the following error: No application is registered as handling this file -- any ideas?  Thanks
[02:31] <e_t_> linux_is_my_hero: OK. You don't have to use Samba at all for that (You will for Windows). Open a web browser to http://localhost:631 and click on the Administration tab.
[02:32] <Guest79933> I see a few people on the forums reporting that no buttons respond in the users and groups app and nobody has ever responded.  I'm having the same issue on a clean install of Natty.  Can anybody help?
[02:32] <neil> in the top command what does the %wa mean? it seems high to me
[02:33] <Onlyodin> neil, %wa is wait time
[02:33] <Onlyodin> typically the system is waiting for I/O operations I believe
[02:35] <neil> Onlyodin, ok thanks
[02:35] <shinsuke> hi. my ices2 process breaks up after my first ogg file ended. please help. thanks.
[02:36] <Gredeu> i havea  video capture device that hasn't worked since lucid.  i've upgraded to oncelot 3.0.3 kernel and am wondering if the previously missing /dev/ mount points are back -- i know nothing about video capture
[02:37] <IdleOne> !11.10
[02:38] <Lyca> im trying to update ubuntu, all the updates are downloaded but for 30 minutes all its said was "waiting"
[02:38] <Lyca> anyone know whats wrong?
[02:38] <Jasonn> Lyca: Its lazy and waits for too long!
[02:39] <Jasonn> Lyca: But seriousely, it could have froze
[02:39] <Lyca> its not froze
[02:39] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | Lyca
[02:39] <IdleOne> Lyca: it's waiting for header files, some mirrors are slow. you may want to try switching your repos to something closer to you.
[02:39] <Lyca> oh sorry this is for xubuntu i forgot
[02:40] <Lyca> but no ones talking on the xubuntu chat, so i thought id ask here
[02:40] <Superdave321> My ssh server is not responding from outside my network. I have control from inside, but the process times out from outside. any ideas? my ultimate goal is an ssh tunnel for all web traffic.
[02:40] <IdleOne> Lyca: a screenshot might be useful as Jordan_U suggested
[02:40] <Lyca> ok
[02:41] <Superdave321> My ssh server is not responding from outside my network. I have control from inside, but the process times out from outside. any ideas? my ultimate goal is an ssh tunnel for all web traffic.
[02:42] <Jasonn> Superdave321: The port isnt forwarded
[02:42] <jon_high9000> does anybody have problems with overactive scripts when running firefox (any version)?
[02:42] <methark> nope
[02:42] <Superdave321> Jasonn: I've put one in my router, but it still has the same problem.
[02:43] <mjreed> weird.  I can iwconfig, iwlist scanning...
[02:43] <Jasonn> Superdave321: Is it forwarded properly?
[02:43] <Superdave321> Jasonn: maybe not. Got some tips?
[02:43] <mjreed> huh.  added the config to /etc/network/interfaces and rebooted and it worked.
[02:44] <mjreed> Thanks for the assist, Jordan_U and th0r.
[02:44] <Jasonn> Superdave321: lol, other than read the manual, not really. Every router is different... Make sure you are forwarding it, and not triggering it, and make sure you are forwarding the right port to the right server.
[02:44] <methark> close
[02:44] <Jordan_U> mjreed: You're welcome.
[02:45] <Superdave321> Jasonn: ok, Thanks. Is there anything in the server I could check? i've set it up on a non-standard port...
[02:46] <Jasonn> Superdave321: Do you know what port that is? and make sure you are forwarding that port, and set your client to connect to that port
[02:48] <Lavagolemking> Is there a way I can undo a dpkg --clear-selections?
[02:48] <Lavagolemking> I was pasting commands and accidentally pasted the wrong one. Now all my packages are marked for removal.
[02:49] <Lavagolemking> They aren't removed yet, but I'd like to not have them removed at the next update.
[02:49] <Lavagolemking> Anybody?
[02:50] <Superdave321> Jasonn: Yes, I have the port number. I'm trying to connect through terminal on the client side and then use a SOCKS proxy.
[02:51] <Jasonn> Superdave321: And you are sure that you have the right port?
[02:51] <linux_is_my_hero> my cups client sends a print job to my cups server and nothing happens.
[02:51] <Superdave321> Jasonn:  Positive.
[02:52] <Jasonn> Superdave321: Then I dont see you having any problem :)
[02:52] <PDunny> anhone know how to cinnect to a upnp server on ubuntu?
[02:53] <Superdave321> Jasonn: ...That's what I thought  :/ Thanks for the help!
[02:54] <milamber> !upnp | PDunny

[03:01] <linux_is_my_hero> lavagolemking: what's the issue?
[03:01] <MrBojangels> okay
[03:01] <Lavagolemking> linux_is_my_hero: I mis-pasted a command, and ran dpkg --clear-selections .
[03:01] <linux_is_my_hero> lavagolemking: oh, lord....
[03:02] <MrBojangels> BatBlaster, then what?
[03:02] <Lavagolemking> linux_is_my_hero: Now everything is marked for removal in dpkg, although apparently not removed yet.
[03:02] <BatBlaster> well that checks what processes you have open
[03:02] <Gredeu> is there a video whiteboard where i can draw and record things as if it were a chalkboard, and save to video ?
[03:02] <BatBlaster> Maybe you can then use that to figure out whats wrong
[03:03] <MrBojangels> i see nothing wrong
[03:03] <BatBlaster> I donno0 then, ask someone else
[03:03] <MrBojangels> what the linux equiv to alt tab?
[03:03] <Lavagolemking> linux_is_my_hero: Any ideas?
[03:03] <ubuntu_> you dont see to much MrBojangels
[03:03] <MrBojangels> er
[03:04] <MrBojangels> alt tab isnt working
[03:04] <ParkerR> MrBojangels, alt tab is the equivelent to alt tab
[03:04] <BatBlaster> Alt-tab is used to do that here too?  is gnome-panel up
[03:04] <linux_is_my_hero> lavagolemking: be patient, im looking for a better chat room. this one doesn't seem much help either, i can't seem to solve my printer issue so this will benefit us both :-)
[03:04] <MrBojangels> how do i restart gnome?
[03:04] <ParkerR> sudo reboot
[03:04] <BatBlaster> have anything you might loose
[03:04] <MrBojangels> er

[03:05] <Gredeu> i see a wiimote whiteboard but i don't have a wiimote.  anything i can use with mouse and record motion ?
[03:05] <ParkerR> BatBlaster, I know but a reboot is usually the best bet
[03:05] <ParkerR> Gredeu, ??
[03:05] <alazare619> Test
[03:05] <Lint> are there some gui tools for unattended installation?
[03:05] <MrBojangels> well
[03:05] <ParkerR> Gredeu, mouse and record motion?
[03:05] <MrBojangels> i alt-f4ed twice
[03:05] <Gredeu> ParkerR, yes
[03:05] <MrBojangels> it logged me out
[03:05] <MrBojangels> logged back in

[03:06] <ParkerR> Gredeu, I guess I dont get your question
[03:06] <oooaaaooo> hi guys i have 11.04 installed on my samsung nc110 netbook and the display dimming function keys doesnt seem to affect the actual brighness of the screen. WHat should i do>
[03:06] <Gredeu> i'll see if i can get a wiimote
[03:06] <ubuntu_> you dont guess, that for beginning
[03:06] <BatBlaster> I have an sd card mou7nted as media/DAVIDSD2_     How would I use dd to make a disk image
[03:06] <ParkerR> oooaaaooo, try System > Preference > Power management

[03:07] <ParkerR> Itll have a brightness slider
[03:07] <ryzorg> 2 for price of 1
[03:07] <Gredeu> like this only with mouse
[03:07] <ParkerR> Gredeu, I know that
[03:07] <Lavagolemking> linux_is_my_hero: It looks like the output of dpkg --get-selections only lists currently installed packages (about to be removed).
[03:07] <ParkerR> So use a mouse on whiteboard?
[03:07] <Gredeu> ParkerR, yes ir
[03:07] <Gredeu> sir
[03:07] <ParkerR> Gredeu, No
[03:07] <Gredeu> bummer
[03:07] <oooaaaooo> ParkerR: im on unity ... how do i get to system preference on unity?
[03:07] <alazare619> #debian is stupid quiet
[03:08] <ParkerR> Oh
[03:08] <Lavagolemking> linux_is_my_hero: Would it work if I output the contents into a file, replaced every instance of "deinstall" with "install", and import it again?
[03:08] <ParkerR> press super then type power management
[03:08] <ParkerR> super = windows key
[03:08] <alazare619> what does it mean x isnt in the sudoers file?
[03:08] <linux_is_my_hero> lavagolemking: i havent done much work with dpkg, so im looking it up myself
[03:08] <ubuntu_> thats your problem alazare619
[03:08] <Lavagolemking> linux_is_my_hero: Thanks.
[03:09] <ParkerR> alazare619, ignore that. He gives weird responses sometimes
[03:09] <ubuntu_> weird may be your mother )
[03:10] <alazare619> no one is responding in deb channel so why does x isnt in sudo file mean never encountered it before
[03:10] <alazare619> i can su drop to root but not sudo
[03:10] <ParkerR> alazare619, is your username x?
[03:10] <alazare619> no my username is alazare619
[03:11] <BatBlaster> i think the x server has a user
[03:11] <Superdave321> SSH server refuses connection from outside my personal network. Any thoughts?
[03:11] <ubuntu_> sure no its a name like anyother
[03:11] <ParkerR> Superdave321, forwarded port on router?
[03:11] <alazare619> replace x with ne user logged into my system
[03:11] <ParkerR> Oh I thought ubuntu_ was ubottu
[03:11] <ParkerR> Derp
[03:11] <alazare619> ie me alazare619
[03:11] <ParkerR> Too late
[03:11] <Superdave321> ParkerR: Yep.
[03:12] <ParkerR> Superdave321, using external IP address and port 22?
[03:12] <alazare619> im working on that distro but got stuck parker
[03:12] <methark> Guys...quick question: what is the name of that app that changes the ubuntu login bg etc?
[03:12] <Thelmaria> Superdave321: When you say it refuses connection, the ssh server logs say you've connected but it doesn't log you in, or it just times out trying to connect?
[03:12] <ParkerR> alazare619, oh
[03:12] <alazare619> rather confused im thinking i messed up a config file
[03:12] <ParkerR> you should say exactly what it says
[03:12] <ParkerR> I get you now
[03:13] <alazare619> but idk where to look for a sudoers file grep isnt helping either
[03:13] <BatBlaster> how does dd work
[03:13] <ParkerR> Wait
[03:13] <ParkerR> alazare619, ok open root terminal.
[03:13] <alazare619> ok
[03:13] <Superdave321> ParkerR: using external DynDns and remote ip addresses and non-standard port#.
[03:13] <ParkerR> Accessories > root terminal
[03:14] <Flannel> alazare619: Is this in Debian? or Ubuntu?
[03:14] <ParkerR> Oh I had him confused
[03:14] <methark> Ubuntu
[03:14] <ParkerR> alazare619, sudo visudo
[03:14] <alazare619> deb but no one in deb is responding
[03:14] <alazare619> and it should work hence the question
[03:14] <san_> Hi,  a week I cannot connect to the ssh server I used to be able to connect before I moved to another app, always getting the error  port 22: No route to host, which is strange since my collegues can connect from outside...Any thought or possible test to pinpoint the problemÉ thanks
[03:14] <alazare619> kk ill try that parker thanks for the idea
[03:15] <ParkerR> Well theres more
[03:15] <Flannel> alazare619: Alright.  Well, it means you aren't able to currently use sudo.  Could be a variety of reasons.  You'll need to ask in #debian (try #debian on oftc, thats the primary channel).  If it were Ubuntu, I'd say you likely removed yourself from the admin group, but that's not how debian does things.
[03:15] <ParkerR> Flannel, no I had this confused with debian its my fault for the confusion
[03:15] <Superdave321> Thelmaria: When I try to connect, it actually prints "ssh: connect to host {address} port {port #}: connection refused."
[03:15] <alazare619> im working on it through my phone over 3g atm vnced into my work horse controlling the vbox lol
[03:16] <Flannel> ParkerR: No worries.
[03:16] <alazare619> all over 3g love android phones
[03:16] <methark> |°/
[03:16] <ParkerR> Flannel, but yeah Ubuntu should make the user able to use sudo from the get go
[03:16] <Thelmaria> Superdave321: Check /var/log/auth.log - that'll tell you if the ssh server recieves the request (ie, port forwarding is working).
[03:16] <ParkerR> Hmm
[03:17] <alazare619> only worry i didnt base it off ubuntu was cause there is no equal on ubuntu to liquorix kernel
[03:17] <Flannel> ParkerR: Well, he could have removed himself from the admin group accidentally.
[03:17] <alazare619> reasson*
[03:17] <ParkerR> Flannel, tis true
[03:17] <ParkerR> I cant think right now
[03:18] <ParkerR>  Good ight everyone
[03:18] <ParkerR> *night
[03:18] <gry> Good night ParkerR
[03:18] <Superdave321> Thelmaria: is there a way to do that via ssh? I only have access to that right now.
[03:18] <ParkerR> Thanks gry
[03:19] <Thelmaria> Superdave321: Do you have access to the server ?
[03:19] <ubuntu_> dear dave im boring about you
[03:20] <Superdave321> Thelmaria: .....yes... i have it in a location where it's easiest to leave it headless, but I can go get it and hook it up to a moniter..
[03:20] <linux_is_my_hero> lavagolemking: i'm going to bed, but try asking people in the following rooms: #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu-devel, #ubuntu-power-users, #ubuntu-quality, #ubuntuforums
[03:21] <Lavagolemking> linux_is_my_hero: Thanks. Still looking around...
[03:21] <rimswald> hello can anyone give me information on how to setup KGpg for encryption?
[03:22] <rimswald> or more specifically, why KGpg will not open even though it is installed
[03:24] <Pici> Lavagolemking: #ubuntu-devel is not a support channel.
[03:24] <gogeta> lol
[03:24] <gry> oo?
[03:24] <Lavagolemking> Pici: I'm not in #ubuntu-devel.
[03:24] <gogeta> well it is sorta
[03:24] <Book_> the bootup sequence on my machine is halted with the message "Soft lockup detected on CPU#1" & then when I try to alter the bootup statements in grub the message "alloc magic is broken at ...."
[03:24] <gogeta> diffrent type of support
[03:24] <Pici> Lavagolemking: Just following linux_is_my_hero's advice :)
[03:25] <Lavagolemking> Pici: Thanks.
[03:25] <Book_> appears.  Is this evidence of data corruption or hardware failure?
[03:25] <Lavagolemking> Pici: I'm going to try replacing "deinstall" with "install" then dpkg --set-selections < /tmp/dpkg_list and see if that fixes anything.
[03:26] <Jordan_U> Book_: I would run memtest to check for bad RAM.
[03:26] <Pici> Lavagolemking: good luck :)
[03:26] <Lint> installer promised it will restore previously installed applications, but was not able to. Is everything in ubuntu disfunctional like that?
[03:26] <Lavagolemking> Sure hope "install" is the right keyword...
[03:27] <Book_> Jordan_U: I did run memtest & it completed several runs w/o errors
[03:27] <Jordan_U> Book_: Have you checked the drive's SMART data?
[03:28] <E3D3> Do I have to give up certain software when I switch from Gnome/KDE to LXDE ? Can I use the same software ?
[03:28] <Jordan_U> E3D3: You can use the same software.
[03:28] <E3D3> Thanks Jordan_U
[03:28] <Jordan_U> E3D3: You're welcome.
[03:28] <Book_> Jordan_U: the HDD passed the quick test but I did not do an extensive test of the HDD for fear of losing data
[03:30] <Jordan_U> Book_: Is this a fresh install?
[03:30] <dzeremis1> Hi everybody. I have what I think might be a simple question. I have a Gateway laptop that is five years old. It has an internal wifi card. Some time ago, I had a newer PC that did not have wifi at all and bought a CISCO Linksys AE1000 card. It works via USB and is much better wireless technology. I think I've installed the thing. My computer definitely sees it with lsusb. But I'm wondering how to put it in use. It would be a lot better th
[03:30] <dzeremis1> an the internal wireless card.
[03:31] <Book_> Jordan_U: No, this is not.. I've tried booting up w/ a liveCD and the bootup process is halted as well
[03:31] <dzeremis1> Could you please help me figure this out? I think it's a simple question of a command I don't know how to do.
[03:32] <Jordan_U> Book_: Have you been able to boot from the same LiveCD on this machine in the past?
[03:32] <jinu> how to identify which image mounted to specified loopback
[03:33] <Jordan_U> jinu: losetup -a
[03:33] <hatch> (10.04) my volume control goes from 0 to 100% in about 10% of the volume slider - any ideas?
[03:33] <Book_> Jordan_U: Yes, I have been able to bootup a liveCD in the past.
[03:33] <dzeremis1> I don't mean to interrupt anything, of course. I'd just like help. It's not an epic question, thankfully.
[03:33] <Jordan_U> Book_: This particular LiveCD?
[03:33] <Jordan_U> !ask | dzeremis1
[03:33] <dzeremis1> I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 en simple.
[03:34] <Book_> Jordan_U: 11.04 on a flash drive
[03:34] <dzeremis1> ubottu: Hokey doke.
[03:35] <dzeremis1> Jordan_U: What does that mean?
[03:35] <Pici> dzeremis1: Its a trigger to tell ubottu to say something
[03:35] <Pici> !bot
[03:35] <dzeremis1> Pici: Thanks for telling me.
[03:36] <Pici> dzeremis1: np :)
[03:36] <dzeremis1> :-)
[03:36] <Book_> Jordan_U: in the past I've been able to bootup w/ 11.04 on a flash drive
[03:36] <oooaaaooo> what does an unauthenticated linux header file mean when running apt-get upgrade?
[03:36] <dzeremis1> In a nutshell: in Ubuntu 11.04, I'm using one wireless device. I think I have a new one installed correctly. What would I do to enable it?
[03:38] <hatch> how do I access other drives in the terminal?
[03:39] <ParkerR> hatch, cd /media
[03:39] <ParkerR> ls
[03:39] <ParkerR> to see what is there then cd to what you want
[03:40] <hatch> ParkerR: ahh perfect
[03:40] <hatch> so is it 'mounted' to those folders then?
[03:40] <ParkerR> Yep
[03:41] <support_> hello
[03:41] <hatch> thanks
[03:42] <karmst77> I'm debating on whether or not to switch my primary workstation to Ubuntu
[03:42] <karmst77> however, I'm having a hard time finding replacements for certain applications before I do so
[03:43] <karmst77> what does everyone use for web development and graphics manipulation?
[03:43] <illDecree> karmst77: GIMP
[03:43] <karmst77> Is there an Adobe Master Suite replacement?
[03:44] <illDecree> karmst77: AFAIK GIMP is it
[03:44] <hatch> karmst77: right now I switch back to win7 to use my Adobe CS, but thats because I paid way to much for it to just switch to gimp :)
[03:44] <hatch> but I do all the coding in ubuntu
[03:44] <Flannel> karmst77: Master Suite is an assemblage of various programs, there isn't a bundled set of programs like that, no.  But there are individual ones.  Inkscape for vector graphics, GIMP (or others) for raster graphics, etc, etc.
[03:45] <Superdave321> illDecree: would wine work for karmist77?
[03:45] <illDecree> Superdave321: dunno. never tried it. i do very little image manip ...
[03:45] <illDecree> Superdave321: i'd definitely try it though
[03:46] <ParkerR> karsten, I use Photoshop. Runs nicely in wine
[03:46] <illDecree> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14514&iTestingId=33545
[03:47] <ParkerR> Photoshop CS5 runs flawlessly
[03:47] <ParkerR> http://i.imgur.com/fvRWF.jpg
[03:48] <hatch> ParkerR: did you just do a typical install?
[03:48] <danctrl> PRIVMSG
[03:48] <karmst77> including all the plugins?
[03:48] <ParkerR> karsten, I believe so although I dont do any major major editing
[03:48] <ParkerR> hatch, yeah
[03:49] <hatch> thats crazy I didn't even think of trying it :D
[03:49] <danctrl> Can
[03:49] <karmst77> does virtualization work well in Ubuntu?
[03:49] <ParkerR> Well this isnt running in virtualbox or a vm
[03:49] <ParkerR> Its running in linux
[03:49] <hatch> I have noticed some odd layout issues with firefox 6 and ubuntu vs ff6 in win7 though
[03:50] <ParkerR> karsten, but yes it does
[03:50] <ParkerR> hatch, relevant http://i.imgur.com/C0g1D.jpg
[03:50] <karmst77> I mean can other OSes run well without issues using ubuntu as the host and vmware workstation with multiple VMs as the guest?
[03:50] <ParkerR> Yeah they run just fine
[03:51] <ParkerR> Ive tried XP and Vista in vmware player
[03:51] <karmst77> does ubuntu have a HCL somewhere?
[03:51] <hatch> thats not under a vm either?
[03:51] <ParkerR> hatch, nope wine
[03:51] <karmst77> or a utility to make sure your hardware is compatible?
[03:51] <hatch> very cool
[03:51] <ParkerR> karmst77, usually if you have a good graphics chip and decent RAM you should be fine
[03:52] <slink> i'm running natty (11.04) and i am wondering how to change a program's icon (when alt+tabbing) to a custom one (specifically for a custom firefox install). right now it shows a generic icon (black background, and a deny icon)
[03:52] <kyan> Hello! How can I force a downgrade of a package that I have as a deb file?
[03:52] <kyan> I can't use force version in synaptic because it is not from a repository.
[03:52] <wildbat> !hcl | karmst77
[03:52] <slink> kyan: tryu looking at the dpkg command
[03:53] <karmst77> well I have a Core i7 extreme, with 48Gb of RAM and dual Radeon HD 6700s
[03:53] <hatch> lol
[03:53] <Onlyodin> Interesting configuration.
[03:53] <Superdave321> holy freak, dude.
[03:54] <karmst77> ah yes that's what I was looking for
[03:54] <hatch> how much web development are you doing at once? haha
[03:54] <karmst77> I own an IT company
[03:54] <karmst77> so quite a bit
[03:54] <karmst77> plus remote support
[03:54] <karmst77> etc...
[03:54] <karmst77> It's over-kill I know
[03:54] <hatch> what mobo?
[03:54] <kyan> slink: Cool! That worked. Thanks!
[03:54] <karmst77> I also have 4 Dell 30inch monitors on it
[03:54] <Onlyodin> ya think?
[03:54] <ParkerR> karsten, yeah thats plenty for a vm XD
[03:54] <karmst77> lol
[03:54] <slink> kyan: good to hear
[03:54] <Superdave321> and getting facebook at light speed is just a perk... right?
[03:55] <karmst77> I hate facebook
[03:55] <karmst77> waste of time
[03:55] <hatch> so what mobo are you using to house that much ram?
[03:56] <Superdave321> lol... Just saying that if I had a machine like that, I'd have to take it home and get all the play out of me before I would be able to focus on any work whatsoever :P
[03:56] <karmst77> SuperMicro sever board
[03:56] <karmst77> server*
[03:56] <hatch> I didn't think any of their server boards allowed 2 gpu's
[03:58] <karmst77> SuperMicro MBD-X8DTL-iF-O
[03:59] <srikanth> hai every one
[03:59] <Lint> are there some gui tools for unattended installation?
[04:00] <Superdave321> Lint: there's probably some on the server version.
[04:00] <karmst77> Actually Hatch it will do 3 GPUs
[04:00] <srikanth> is there any tool like IDM in windows to download
[04:00] <karmst77> and also another 4 PCI-e devices
[04:00] <karmst77> and another processor
[04:00] <karmst77> lol
[04:01] <ohzie> Hey everybody
[04:01] <srikanth> hai @ohzie
[04:01] <Sp0tter> when i do chown -R myname *    why does it not work
[04:01] <PDunny> Will gin work on LXDE?
[04:01] <Sp0tter> it works in every other linux/unix i have seen
[04:01] <karmst77> sudo chown
[04:02] <Sp0tter> i'm doing it as root
[04:02] <karmst77> you still need to elevate
[04:02] <ParkerR> karsten, hes as root user
[04:02] <ParkerR> He doesnt
[04:02] <Sp0tter> on effect
[04:02] <ohzie> My wifi keeps, uh, stopping when I'm at home. I'm not sure how to diagnose this problem, whether it's the access point or my laptops wifi. Dmesg isn't really telling me anything.
[04:02] <Sp0tter> sudo has no effefct
[04:02] <ohzie> karmst77: Root is root.
[04:02] <Sp0tter> drwxr-xr-x  2 root    root      4096 2011-08-23 21:57 .vim
[04:02] <ParkerR> Sp0tter, what are you trying to do
[04:02] <ohzie> "How many things can root do?"
[04:02] <ohzie> All the things
[04:02] <karmst77> I'm betting he's not actually root
[04:02] <srikanth> is ubuntu is safer then windows
[04:03] <Sp0tter> ParkerR: change file ownership of a home folder i restored
[04:03] <PDunny> sri - yes
[04:03] <jiohdi> Sp0tter: try it with nautilus as root or thunar
[04:03] <Sp0tter> karmst77: i am actually root..
[04:03] <ohzie> srikanth: Debatable, but with most users yes.
[04:03] <PDunny> less virii
[04:03] <Sp0tter> root@tigress:/home/shannon#
[04:03] <ohzie> srikanth: That said, a well maintained windows server is more secure than a badly maintained linux server.
[04:03] <karmst77> then you would use chmod
[04:03] <Sp0tter> jiohdi: why should i have to.... i want to know why chown doesnt work heh
[04:03] <anonnewbie> Hey, can anyone point me to a suitable irc for Rescue Remix help?
[04:03] <jiohdi> Sp0tter: dont know, just offering an alternative
[04:03] <karmst77> unless you are the owner of the origial directory
[04:03] <Lint> sp0tter what's an error then?
[04:04] <Sp0tter> Lint: the error is that the file still belongs to root
[04:04] <Sp0tter> after  chown -R shannon *
[04:04] <karmst77> so chmod the folder
[04:04] <srikanth> how can we download youtube videos
[04:04] <Tadcrazio> hey guys, Im putting music together for a small wedding this weekend for a family member and I was thinking instead of having a list of music i have or what i will play, I want to display it on a monitor on the other side of the table, Hows that sound?
[04:04] <ohzie> srikanth: there are firefox plugins for that
[04:04] <karmst77> what's the ACLs on the folder set to?
[04:05] <Sp0tter> karmst77: that does not matter
[04:05] <Sp0tter> chown is chown, i've been chowning for a long time heh
[04:05] <karmst77> but you did a restore right?
[04:05] <srikanth> i need the procedure how to download videos frm youtube
[04:05] <Book_> Is the message "soft-lockup detected on CPU#1" an indication of data corruption or hardware failure?
[04:05] <ParkerR> Sp0tter, chown -R username ~/*
[04:05] <ParkerR> Oh wait
[04:05] <ParkerR> Thatd do root home XD
[04:06] <ParkerR> Sp0tter, chown -R username /home/username/*
[04:06] <karmst77> he did that
[04:06] <Sp0tter> that worked
[04:06] <ParkerR> Try it witht he full path
[04:06] <Sp0tter> why did i have to use fill paths?
[04:06] <ParkerR> :D
[04:06] <ParkerR> Dunno
[04:06] <karmst77> because you are root
[04:06] <ParkerR> But if in doubt use full path
[04:06] <anonnewbie> anyone know a rescue remix irc channel?
[04:06] <Lint> why ALL my software GONE after reinstall? I chose an option to RESTORE it
[04:07] <karmst77> did you back it up first?
[04:07] <karmst77> hmm
[04:07] <karmst77> this HCL only shows complete systems
[04:07] <karmst77> not components
[04:07] <Lint> installer did
[04:07] <Superdave321> srikanth: go to tools->add-ons and search for something along the lines of download youtube. pick your one, and it should have instructions on how the rest works. it's different for each add-on.
[04:07] <karmst77> do they make a ubuntu HCL that shows raid cards, etc...
[04:08] <Sp0tter> hehe karmst77 "he probably isn't really root" .. priceless
[04:08] <karmst77> most new users aren't Spotter
[04:09] <Sp0tter> oh, i am a long time Arch user, just new to ubuntu..
[04:09] <karmst77> you went from arch to ubuntu?
[04:09] <ParkerR> sudo make -me=sandwich
[04:09] <karmst77> I would think you'd go the other way
[04:09] <Sp0tter> only for my a single computer because i needed a 2.6 kernel and 11.6 catalyrg
[04:09] <Sp0tter> catalyst
[04:09] <karmst77> ah
[04:10] <Sp0tter> 11.8 has a bug that breaks something i need, and i already have 3.0.1 on arch kernel
[04:10] <Superdave321> ParkerR: totally using that.\
[04:10] <ParkerR> XD
[04:10] <Sp0tter> wifes computer :)
[04:10] <karmst77> well I'm trying to debate here, ubuntu x64, centos 6 x64, or Solaris Open?
[04:10] <Superdave321> lawl
[04:10] <Sp0tter> i use solaris for my fileserver
[04:11] <Superdave321> ParkerR: XKCD, right?
[04:11] <karmst77> which one would be best as a Win7 x64 replacement with a focus on Graphics, Web Development?
[04:11] <ParkerR> I have a file server, minecraft server, openssh server, ace of psades server, and few other misc things running on my laptop
[04:11] <ParkerR> Superdave321, naah just thought of that wording
[04:11] <srikanth> how to download picasa
[04:11] <ParkerR> *spades
[04:11] <karmst77> or should I just VM my win7 and run it in vmware?
[04:12] <ohzie> karmst77: It depends on what applications you use
[04:12] <zenrox> id vm win7
[04:12] <srikanth> how to connect wit picasa web albums through ubuntu
[04:12] <ohzie> karmst77: VMing win7 would probably be the blockiest but most efficient solution, unless you're willing to learn new things.
[04:12] <KM0201> srikanth: did you install picasa?
[04:12] <bc81> hello.  i preformed some hard drive tests using GSmartControl, and i'm not sure what to make of the results.  according to this log file, is my hard drive failing? > http://pastebin.com/6jkwXQJe
[04:12] <karmst77> I'm willing to learn
[04:13] <karmst77> I have enough IT titles behind my signature that I'm very OS universal
[04:13] <ParkerR> bc81, looks good afaik
[04:13] <srikanth> i dont find picasa in my applications@kmo201
[04:13] <Superdave321> That determined to get away from windows7?
[04:13] <KM0201> bc81: well "overall health assessment: passed" i'm guessing thats good
[04:13] <ohzie> karmst77: It doesn't matter how os neutral you are in some cases. There are just something that photoshop can do that the gimp cannot do.
[04:13] <KM0201> srikanth: http://picasa.google.com/linux/thanks-deb.html
[04:14] <ohzie> karmst77: However, in the cases where you need photoshop, I'd suggest a VM
[04:14] <bc81> ParkerR & KM0201: ok thanks, so it's ok to ignore the 2 errors that were reported?
[04:14] <ohzie> karmst77: VirtualBox and VMware are both so nice nowadays.
[04:14] <karmst77> eh... Win 7 annoys me with how much overhead it has
[04:14] <ParkerR> Yeah most rpeort samll erors. COuld be false positives
[04:14] <ParkerR> *report small
[04:14] <KM0201> bc81: i didn't see any errors, but my guess is, if they were ritical, the drive would not have passed
[04:14] <karmst77> and vmware workstation locks up alot on it
[04:15] <bc81> ParkerR & KM0201: thanks guys, that's good to hear
[04:15] <ParkerR> karmst77, aww
[04:15] <KM0201> bc81: neither of those errors look serious to me.. like i said, if it was serious, the drive wouldn't have passed
[04:15] <bc81> ok
[04:15] <ParkerR> I like vmware player altough it doesnt like the Ubunt kernel
[04:15] <ParkerR> *Ubuntu
[04:16] <ParkerR> Keep failing on loading the modules when I start it up
[04:16] <ParkerR> *Keeps
[04:16] <KM0201> ParkerR: i hate vmware player.. much prefer vbox
[04:16] <karmst77> eh I'm a VCAP so all vmware is really cheap for me
[04:16] <karmst77> hmmm
[04:17] <ParkerR> KM0201, vmware player has much better USB support than vbox imo
[04:17] <karmst77> ubuntu might not like my raid card
[04:17] <Lint> how can I find a package list installer created?
[04:19] <ParkerR> Virtualbox even with the new USB package has always not liked USB for me
[04:19] <karmst77> ok be back in a few... Let's see how this installation goes...
[04:19] <ParkerR> Good luck
[04:19] <Superdave321> Dito
[04:21] <scandalist>  /join irc.haxnet.org
[04:22] <hatch> how would I get a list of the java packages installed so that I can uninstall them and install a different package?
[04:23] <hatch> dpkg --get-selections | grep java
[04:23] <hatch> oops :)
[04:23] <ParkerR> \o/ vmware launch successfully this time

[04:40] <gry> stevecam: Your original question is vague. Did you try to do that (sounds like something a bit unfamilair, but not quite impossible)?
[04:40] <gry> !wireless | Sianide
[04:41] <gry> Sianide: If you have some troubleshooting info and can't see what to do by reading the guide, just ask in here.
[04:41] <stevecam> gry, i can play something using aplay and i can tell it to play 5.1 audio directly through my digital line, but pulseaudio ust plays the audio as stereo

[05:11] <ArseneRe1> Does anyone know what handles setting a sudo's environment?
[05:14] <Sianide> Can someone help me with my wifi problem? I cant install windows 7 so im kinda stuck with ubuntu =/ Ubuntu sorta loses functionality for me without internet...
[05:15] <th0r> Sianide: a lot of words with no information
[05:15] <Sianide> I've given info no ones given me any information back though
[05:18] <sagaci> Sianide, what' the exact line you get with lsusb
[05:19] <ParkerR> sagaci, its not a USB device he said
[05:19] <Sianide> mhm its built in.. Cant find anything on it though
[05:20] <sagaci> ah ok
[05:20] <Sianide> When i do sudo ifconfig wlan0 up it gives me resourse temp unavailable
[05:20] <PythonPup> Is there some way to make notification message leave the screen in less than the hour or two it seems like they stay now?
[05:25] <urlin2u> Python1320, there is a ppa not a lot of exacting info, most it seems just get used to it.
[05:26] <Python1320> ok :p
[05:37] <Pirsch> Hello, can anyone tell me how to start Envy in 11.04?
[05:38] <Pirsch> Hello, can anyone tell me how to start Envy in 11.04?
[05:38] <acrousey> Haven't been on here for a while. Wondering if anybody would know how I could put Ubuntu onto a USB from my Mac. Don't want to install it on here. Want to put it on my father's computer.
[05:39] <Pirsch> acrousey: couldn't you just simply boot up from a live cd and then run 'make startup disk'?
[05:40] <Pirsch> I've done this but never on a Mac
[05:40] <acrousey> @Pirsch, I don't have any live cd's around. And no cd's to burn unfortunately
[05:41] <Pirsch> acrousey: ah, I see. The only other thing I can think of is using a virtual drive (maybe)
[05:42] <urlin2u> acrousey, whats on the dads computer now?
[05:42] <zone> hi
[05:42] <Guest64326> i need some help ?
[05:42] <acrousey> @urlin2u, Hell... I mean Vista
[05:42] <JokesOnYou77> acrousey: please take a look at this page and do a search for "Mac" sould be the first thing that comes up. Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for you.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[05:43] <urlin2u> acrousey, use vista a unetbootin, much easier.
[05:43] <urlin2u> anand
[05:43] <JokesOnYou77> Agreed
[05:43] <JokesOnYou77> MUch easier
[05:43] <Pirsch> Hello, can anyone tell me how to start Envy in 11.04?
[05:44] <th0r> Pirsch: have you tried typing 'envy' in terminal?
[05:44] <urlin2u> Pirsch, what is envy?
[05:44] <Pirsch> I need to solve a graphics problem fast. I have my office convinced to switch to ubuntu
[05:44] <Pirsch> Yes, I've tried all the commands, nothing happens
[05:44] <acrousey> @urlin2u and JokesOnYou77, would i be able to completely wipe the machine and install only ubuntu on it that way?
[05:44] <Pirsch> Envy is a program that identifies graphics and installs drivers
[05:45] <Guest64326> i want share folder in ubuntu and windows user can past file or foler but delete or overwrite how to do that?
[05:45] <urlin2u> acrousey, the install will wipe it, windows and ubuntu are just easier to load thumbs on..
[05:45] <scottj> are there good alternative mplayer terminal ui's, perhaps one with a progress bar?
[05:46] <JokesOnYou77> acrousey: Yes.  You would use ImgBurn, or Unibootin to make a love CD or USB and then install Ubuntu to the PC and in the installation process you can reformat the drive
[05:46] <th0r> Pirsch: you couldn't have tried very hard....http://linuxers.org/howto/how-install-nvidiaati-graphic-cards-drivers-ubuntu-using-envy-ng
[05:46] <urlin2u> Guest64326, generarly a shred ntfs partition is used, if on the same computer
[05:46] <PythonPup> Guest64326, Ask that again, please.  What do you want the Windows users to be able to do?
[05:46] <uabn93> hey, i noticed the wifi applet doesnt appear if i switch from one user to another. anyone know why?
[05:46] <urlin2u> shared*
[05:47] <Guest64326> they can copy or past a file or folder but not delete or overwrite
[05:47] <urlin2u> uabn93, open the edit and click availbe to all users
[05:47] <Pirsch> thor: I have been trying, still am, but these things are not working,.... yet
[05:47] <Guest64326> adv thank you python
[05:47] <acrousey> urlin2u, I see that now. I might have to put both on his computer with a thumb though. Vista doesn't want to acknowledge his internet connection
[05:48] <Pirsch> thor: to add to my difficulties, I reside in China. ;)
[05:48] <Guest64326> any idea ?
[05:48] <urlin2u> acrousey, down load the ISO transfer it with the unetbootin download , and load the thumb, use the thumb to transfer .
[05:49] <th0r> Pirsch: that link tells you how to start and use envy in ubuntu
[05:49] <Pirsch> Thanks Thor. I'm still waiting for it to open. I think a proxy site just might open it
[05:50] <Guest64326>  i want share folder in ubuntu and windows user can past file or foler in that but not to delete or overwrite the same how to do that?
[05:51] <uabn93> urlin2u: checked and its already enabled for all. the wifi applet never shows up on a different account
[05:51] <Guest64326> if any one interested please guide me
[05:51] <urlin2u> uabn93, what's the desktops?
[05:52] <urlin2u> uabn93, and are both gettibg wifi?
[05:52] <urlin2u> getting
[05:53] <uabn93> urlin2u: the first account i log into is classic, and i tried switching between unity and classic on the second. only the first gets wifi. the second is missing an applet
[05:53] <PythonPup> Guest64326, I am looking.  It is an unusual request, but I am looking for an answer.
[05:53] <urlin2u> uabn93, unity is missing the applet?
[05:54] <Guest64326> but in centos its already configure phython !!
[05:54] <uabn93> urlin2u: yep
[05:54] <urlin2u> uabn93, any others missing, and have you tweaked compiz?
[05:54] <Guest64326> I am new to linux I want make sync to both pc
[05:55] <uabn93> urlin2u: im pretty sure it worked before. I'll check that out. no, verything else works fine
[05:56] <drawmeat> i remeber being able to create compressed folders in ubuntu before, what's changed
[05:56] <PythonPup> Guest64326, This purports to setup just like you want http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2001-October/030781.html
[05:57] <drawmeat> Q: How do you create compressed folders on ubuntu?
[05:57] <Guest64326> Python thank you !! i will try
[05:57] <gry> drawmeat: use archive manager
[05:58] <PythonPup> tar and bzip2 are used to create compressed sets of files.  Nautilus treats them like directories.
[05:58] <urlin2u> drawmeat, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression  maybe?
[05:59] <Guest64326> r u there Python ?
[05:59] <PythonPup> Guest64326, Are you talking to me?
[05:59] <urlin2u> drawmeat, also a right click-compress
[06:00] <Guest64326> in this case once who create file or folder he is able to delete but for me only root should have permission
[06:00] <Guest64326> r u getting
[06:00] <drawmeat> urlin2u, worked great thank you
[06:01] <ohzie> Guest64326: what
[06:01] <PythonPup> Guest64326, In the example, the special user can delete files or directories, but not the normal users.  Root or anyone with sudo access could also delete files.
[06:02] <jen_> who here uses firefox?
[06:02] <gry> jen_: Plenty of people.
[06:02] <Guest64326> ok i try now and get back !
[06:02] <jen_> ok how can I switch from tabs using the keyboard only?
[06:03] <jen_> I like to just use the keyboard for stuff
[06:03] <xangua> control+tab
[06:03] <gry> jen_: CTRL + PageUP/PageDOWN
[06:03] <iceroot_> jen_: ctrl + shift + ta
[06:03] <iceroot_> jen_: ctrl + shift + tab
[06:03] <jen_> oh ok
[06:03] <gry> Plenty people, I promised! :-)
[06:04] <linuxrealm> up arrow rght arrow/left
[06:04] <jen_> thats sweet thanks :D
[06:04] <jen_> oh!
[06:04] <linuxrealm> ctrl-tab
[06:04] <jen_> i have another question
[06:04] <jen_> lemme think of how to desrcibe it though..
[06:05] <stealz> Help! Closing youtube tabs freezes my ubuntu! Keyboard not working, cant restart X, nothing
[06:06] <jen_> are you on 666's account?
[06:06] <PythonPup> stealz, The power button does not even work?
[06:06] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | stealz
[06:06] <stealz> Thanks Jordan_U, but I am looking for a fix
[06:07] <FreezingCold> What does Ubuntu compile in its kerne;?
[06:07] <stealz> I cannot watch youtube videos because everytime I close a tab with a vid in it my pc freezes
[06:07] <FreezingCold> everything>?
[06:07] <wildbat> I am still wondering how to do Magic sysrq in a Vbox.
[06:07] <mukti> What browser?
[06:07] <stealz> PythonPup, the power button works, and so does Jordan_U 's suggestion
[06:07] <stealz> firefox
[06:07] <PythonPup> stealz, the fix would be to uninstall flash.  Use html5 for youtube.  I have never seen a problem like you describe.  I have never installed flash.
[06:07] <mukti> have you tried any other browsers?
[06:08] <jen_> ok so on my old ubuntu before I had to re-install my mouse would automatically (without clicking) just go to type in someone when I would scroll over it. I really love that feature but I dont know how I got it. Anyone know how to fix this?
[06:08] <stealz> PythonPup, I use html5 but I have to login for it to work. If I leave a window open and restart firefox my system freezes
[06:08] <stealz> PythonPup, and I use flash for other sites, too
[06:09] <stealz> mukti, not really, but I dont really want to tbh, I run dualboot and its perfectly synced between my 2 os
[06:09] <PythonPup> You don't have to login to use html5.  You just have to visit the right page and press the button that says you want to join the trial.
[06:10] <stealz> PythonPup, I did that
[06:10] <stealz> PythonPup, but it will only use the html5 player when I am logged in
[06:10] <mukti> stealz, I was just wondering if the problem was with the browser, or if it was something else.
[06:10] <PythonPup> I use it and I have never logged into youtube.
[06:10] <stealz> PythonPup, I never get a crash when I am logged in, but everytime the page loads and I am not logged in
[06:11] <linuxrealm> jen_: ?
[06:11] <PythonPup> i DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM.
[06:11] <stealz> PythonPup, maybe its because I dont store my cookies
[06:11] <stealz> mukti, good point, I will try another browser
[06:11] <stealz> what would you recommend with 10.04?
[06:11] <stealz> Chrome?
[06:12] <mukti> sure, it shouldn't really matter
[06:12] <PythonPup> I do have to enable them for youtube.  That is annoying, because I normally disable cookies, too.  But, if you are a Flash user, you are fooling yourself if you think disabling cookies helps much.  Flash is way too friendly to people who want to do nasty things to your computer.
[06:13] <stealz> yeah I've read so
[06:13] <scottj> anyone recognize this console twitter client? http://dotshare.it/public/images/uploads/91.png
[06:13] <stealz> Running Noscript, and might wanna use something to get rid of flash cookies
[06:13] <bullgard4_>  Why do I need a Gnats Bug-Reporting System as I can use Apport?
[06:14] <mukti> stealz, have you tried another browser yet?
[06:15] <stealz> mukti, no just looking for one
[06:15] <mukti> oh
[06:15] <stealz> dont have any other installed
[06:15] <bullgard4_> FreezingCold: "[08:07]	<FreezingCold>	What does Ubuntu compile in its kerne;?" <-- What do you want to know?
[06:16] <mukti> stealz, just do chrome or opera
[06:16] <stealz> mukti, just downloading chromium
[06:19] <jen_> ok
[06:19] <jen_> I got disconnected for a sec
[06:19] <jen_> anyone know how to set the mouse to scrollover?
[06:19] <linuxrealm> wb
[06:19] <jen_> thanks
[06:20] <stealz> I just realized something weird. I didnt have html5 enabled, but logging in still fixed the crashes
[06:20] <glisstech> Ok...so I cannot figure out how to give the second user account on my system access to a USB external drive that is on NTFS
[06:22] <linuxrealm> scrollover what?
[06:22] <wildbat> glisstech: remount it with umask=000
[06:23] <stealz> ok, so chromium doesnt crash my system
[06:23] <stealz> so its more of a firefox issues
[06:23] <PythonPup> Is that second user a member of the plugdev group, glisstech
[06:24] <jen_> ok for my mouse if I scrollover with my mouse it automatically lets me type
[06:24] <glisstech> pythonPup: Yes the user is a member of the plugdev group
[06:25] <ItBlends> there is so much broken stuff in ubuntu these days.
[06:26] <jen_> umm
[06:26] <ItBlends> if you go slightly outside the standard packages
[06:26] <PythonPup> glisstech, I thought that would be it.  Have you looked at the pmount program?
[06:26] <ItBlends> I tried to install and use xdm last week. completely shot.
[06:27] <ItBlends> xpdf crashes on any pdf
[06:27] <glisstech> PythonPup: cant say that I have...really just switched to Ubuntu about 3 months ago
[06:27] <linuxrealm> type where?
[06:28] <linuxrealm> in a browser? in a chat client? where? on the desktop?
[06:28] <Pirsch> I really need help with a graphics problem. Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize my graphics card
[06:29] <Pirsch> It's an integrated
[06:29] <ItBlends> it keeps making radical changes with their core packages, with all kinds of unintended consequences everywhere else
[06:29] <ItBlends> i'm guessing
[06:30] <linuxrealm> Pirsch: right click your desktop, change desktop background > visual effects, do you have 3 or 4 options?
[06:30] <incogweedo> hi guys
[06:31] <bullgard4_>  Why do I need a Gnats Bug-Reporting System as I can use Apport?
[06:31] <incogweedo> oh wait brb
[06:31] <linuxrealm> then goto system > admin > additional drivers, see whats listed/enabled
[06:31] <Pirsch> linuxrealm: themes, backgrounds, fonts,... only
[06:31] <jen_> anyone know how to fix my simple problem?
[06:31] <linuxrealm> no visual effects?
[06:31] <jen_> editing the mouse so whenever I scroll over something I dont have to click to type
[06:32] <linuxrealm> open a terminal, type:   less /etc/lsb-release
[06:32] <jen_> a wee lazy I am but its usefull sometimes
[06:32] <linuxrealm> jen_: something like what? where?
[06:32] <PythonPup> glisstech, Have you checked the User Priviledges for the second user to see that access external storage devices automatically is turned on?
[06:32] <jen_> I used to be able to just scrollover with my mouse to be able to type and not have to click
[06:32] <Pirsch> linuxrealm: no visual effects
[06:32] <glisstech> PythonPup: Nope...where do I check that?
[06:33] <jen_> its useful if I have to use the terminal and have mulitple windows up
[06:33] <linuxrealm> Pirsch:  then goto system > admin > additional drivers, see whats listed/enabled
[06:33] <jen_> nothing serious but id just like to know how to get that back
[06:33] <incogweedo_> hey guys quick question: is there an API for the power manager (for vala) ?
[06:33] <PythonPup> glisstech, System/Administration/Users and Groups.  Are you running Gnome or Unity?
[06:33] <glisstech> PythonPup: found it...and yes it is checked
[06:34] <Pirsch> linuxrealm: I tried that yesterday, last night, and this morning. No drivers available
[06:34] <linuxrealm> jen_: check mouse properties in Control Panel
[06:34] <glisstech> PythonPup: Gnome...just not really all that impressed by unity
[06:34] <Duesentrieb> hi all. i have a problem with the unity desktop. basically, it fails to load on login. my problem is pretty much exactly the one described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34622/faulty-unity-session/58323
[06:34] <Pirsch> linuxrealm: if I had 10.04 iso, I'd just go back to that.
[06:34] <Duesentrieb> any idea how to reset unity so i can use it again?
[06:34] <linuxrealm> Pirsch: lspci and look for what card you have
[06:34] <Duesentrieb> gnome session works fine
[06:35] <PythonPup> glisstech, Unity is much better if you get rid of the global menus.  I still use Gnome on most systems, though.
[06:35] <AlecTaylor> hi
[06:36] <AlecTaylor> My Ubuntu Server install isn't getting an IP Address from DHCP. What can I do?
[06:36] <linuxrealm> Pirsch: lspci and look for what card you have
[06:36] <Pirsch> linuxrealm: it's integrated and unfortunately not listed
[06:38] <linuxrealm> Pirsch: goto ubuntu help and type: integrated graphic card, see what pops up
[06:38] <glisstech> PythonPup:I am sure its fine when you get used to it...having just switched from Windows, I am not that familiar with the admin tools, and that makes it just a bit difficult to find them in unity
[06:38] <urlin2u> Pirsch, what do you see when you run  lspci | grep VGA
[06:38] <Pirsch> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[06:39] <Pirsch> urlin2u: sysinfo says the same
[06:39] <PythonPup> glisstech, Good luck.  As you learn it, I think you will grow to like it more and more.  But, there is some learning involved, no doubt.
[06:40] <glisstech> PythonPup:I am a Windows sysadmin, so I am picking most things up pretty quick. Some stuff that is very straightforward in Windows, is more complex in Ubuntu. Like Mounting a USB drive
[06:42] <PythonPup> glisstech, It is fairly simple to manually mount the usb drive.  You might want to know how to do that as a backup.
[06:42] <Guest64326> hi Python
[06:42] <Pirsch> urlin2u: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[06:42] <zagibu> mounting an usb drive is pretty easy, you just plug it in
[06:43] <PythonPup> zagibu, Usually that works.  Not always.
[06:43] <zagibu> well, what do you do if it doesn't work on windows?
[06:43] <Guest64326> I have done everthing but not it is asking password i use guest account as nobody
[06:43] <glisstech> zagibu: under my user, that is true...problem I am having, is that under a second account on the same system...I can't seem to figure out how to allow access to the drive
[06:44] <zagibu> glisstech: compare group settings...
[06:44] <zagibu> also, how did you create this second user?
[06:45] <Guest64326> no its not working for me !!
[06:46] <glisstech> zagibu:second user is in the same groups as my user, created as an administrator using System/Administration/Users and Groups
[06:46] <zagibu> using newest ubuntu?
[06:46] <Morgz> can anyone tell me, if /dev is basically pre-loaded with ALL supported devices, what's the easy way to list only the ones in use?
[06:47] <polifasio> Morgz: lspci
[06:47] <polifasio> lshw
[06:47] <Morgz> ha - cheers
[06:47] <polifasio> lsd
[06:47] <polifasio> lspisspopd
[06:47] <glisstech> zagibu: 11.04 Natty logging into Ubuntu Classic desktop
[06:48] <zagibu> gonna try to recreate your problems
[06:48] <linuxrealm> glisstech: two files pretty much control what users can/cannot do, they are /etc/passwd and /etc/group pretty straight forward compared to the world of windows admin. if you simply edit these files particulary group, you issues will majically go away. however, some claim using a cmd to do things for you, will not teach you morea bout how much access you really have with linux when manually doing things. you will learn loads.
[06:49] <crking> i wanna know the difference between wmii and dwm. which one is more advanced and which one is better and has more features?
[06:49] <zagibu> well yeah, but i'd stick with the GUI tools at first...the cmd opens up a whole new world of stuff to learn
[06:49] <dr-willis> be sure to backup the origunals of those files.. ;)
[06:50] <linuxrealm> unix/linux is very well documented, and Howtos are all over help.ubuntu.com. you will be amazed at how simple to complex tasks are step by step. you will have no problems. its all about keyword searching though, so for your issue, it would be, user mount usb drive, something like that
[06:50] <glisstech> linuxrealm:yea, I get that. I have installed and broken and fixed and broken and reinstalled, then updated which broke stuff and had to reinstall again
[06:50] <glisstech> I have already learned alot, and tend to use the cli more than the gui even in windows for most tasks
[06:51] <dr-willis> which minimal window manager is less minimal you mean crking
[06:51] <linuxrealm> glisstech: just a tip, dont always upgrade, turn that off! only upgrade after say 6 months, when all the bugs are fixed by people who can report them pproperlly.
[06:51] <linuxrealm> glisstech: referring to the kernel
[06:51] <anth0ny> What are some popular menu replacements for Ubuntu?  I used to have one that I liked but I can't remember the name, it had a search built into it (I want to say the name was something like Calibiri, but obviously not the font.  Also, it wasn't Beagle).  Any ideas?
[06:52] <crking> dr-willis, put it this way. in land of tilling WMs. which on has more features. in plain language; which one is better ? (wmii or dwm)
[06:52] <somsip> crking: don't forget awsome
[06:53] <ItBlends> anth0ny, menu replacements? like a launcher? gnome-do?
[06:53] <glisstech> linuxrealm:good advice...I do believe I will stick to an LTS release for my work box, and use VirtualBox to play with other distros and new releases of Ubuntu
[06:53] <anth0ny> ItBlends, you know what?  I think I found it, it was Cardapio
[06:53] <linuxrealm> glisstech: there are lots of programs you may find interesting that are not maintained or support by ubuntu update, therefore, errata is important to read when upgrading anything, what was fixed, what is still broken or is not mentioned. its pretty serious do upgrades. however, as you progress, you will see what you can and should not upgrade.
[06:54] <dr-willis> its all relatve. just have to try them and read their docs and swe what you like crking . they all annoy me too much. so i use jwm.
[06:54] <linuxrealm> there a 1400 plus users here, if you stick around surely someone in here will assist, however, you may also want to hit up the #linux room. more helpful at times
[06:55] <crking> dr-willis, hi sir. if you like that taste better i recommend you use fvwm
[06:56] <glisstech> linuxrealm: thanks for the tip, I have found that this community is mostly helpful, though like anywhere I do see some bad apples every so often. But most generally far more willing to help than the typical Windows admin
[06:56] <dr-willis> used most all that exist crking . it all demends on my needs at the time.
[06:57] <linuxrealm> glisstech: agreed
[06:57] <linuxrealm> good luck
[06:57] <linuxrealm> yal come back now and see us, yehear
[06:57]  * crking wmii vs dwm??? any ideaS
[07:01] <JoeR1> I have a question, Gnome 2 still supported custom login themes correct?
[07:02] <JoeR1> No one is available?
[07:04] <ataouli> haha
[07:04] <JoeR1> haha what?
[07:05] <m1h0> hi does anyone know how to enable usb support in qemu
[07:05] <BarBlitz> yes
[07:06] <JoeR1> ah, there are folks around - Does Gnome 2 support custom login themes?
[07:06] <BarBlitz> mostly chown
[07:07] <BarBlitz> mostly chown -R username /prob/bus/usb
[07:07] <linuxrealm> m1h0: i noticed in virtualbox for example, the ose version had issues but the program from the site allowed,,, maybe this is the same in qemu
[07:07] <linuxrealm> did you load qemu from software center? or tar gz?
[07:07] <m1h0> i use virt-manager
[07:07] <m1h0> from software center
[07:08] <linuxrealm> ok, so from ubuntu. maybe im right , dunno yet, havent tried qemu yet
[07:08] <BarBlitz> also turn off the device: stop bluetooth, and let qemu grab device directly
[07:08] <IdleOne> m1h0: http://firmit.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/qemu-with-usb-support/
[07:11] <linuxrealm> this is an issue, the maintainers not setting these things prior to putting in software center.
[07:12] <JoeR1> So no one knows about gnome's custom login compatibility?
[07:12] <PythonPup> Is there some way to make notification message leave the screen in less than the hour or two it seems like they stay now?
[07:13] <hatch> I just installed openjdk-6-jdk but when I do dpkg --get-selections | grep java it doesn't show up in the list..am I doing the search wrong?
[07:13] <hatch> java-common is in there though
[07:13] <eshlox> hi, someone try install drivers from nvidia website? i have nvidia gt525m (optimus) in laptop and with default installed drivers glxinfo shows Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig etc. Its good idea to install this drivers from nvidia?
[07:13] <gry2> hatch: dpkg --get-selections | grep jdk
[07:13] <urlin2u> PythonPup, if you look on the web you will find references to a ppa, otherwise on the stock system no.
[07:14] <linuxrealm> hatch: where did you get it? software center?
[07:14] <hatch> gry2: oh there we go :) can I delete java-common with this jdk installed?
[07:14] <hatch> apt-get
[07:14] <hatch> 10.04
[07:14] <BarBlitz> try | less -c
[07:14] <BarBlitz> also, grep -i java
[07:14] <gry2> hatch: Try to do so, you will be told if it's otherwise.
[07:15] <PythonPup> urlin2u, OK.  I will look for it.  I guess it adds a config option.  I saw you mention ppa earlier, but I did not understand.  Thanks.
[07:15] <linuxrealm> hatch: just a tip about java, i would install it from: http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en and just it manually
[07:15] <linuxrealm> and rid ubuntu of all java
[07:15] <linuxrealm> just a tip
[07:15] <BarBlitz> make sure your pcmcia stuff is on, and X11 has properly probed stuff
[07:15] <urlin2u> PythonPup, cool not ecrybody knows the refrence
[07:15] <hatch> linuxrealm: yeah better version?
[07:15] <BarBlitz> check /var/log/Xorg.log something
[07:15] <gry2> linuxrealm: It _does_ depend on what app it's being used for. Some apps need a certain version and will die out on other versions.
[07:15] <hatch> I need java for Netbeans :)
[07:16] <linuxrealm> it just works better, im not a java programmer, however, i have noticed when it comes to java and linux, that link has worked best for me for the  most uses
[07:16] <linuxrealm> gry2 agreed
[07:16] <gry2> Netbeans might die out if it asks apt and finds that java isn't available from there, but it depends.
[07:17] <nigelb> Hi, how do I see which swap file is being used?
[07:17] <nigelb> Like I know there's a swap file, but not where it is.
[07:17] <hatch> yeah I just removed java-common and it took everything else with it, trying to install the openjdk again
[07:17] <urlin2u> PythonPup, here is what I found, https://encrypted.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=+way+to+make+notification+message+leave+the+screen+ubuntu&btnG=Search
[07:17] <linuxrealm> http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en
[07:18] <hatch> blarg what junk, its still super laggy
[07:18] <linuxrealm> follow all the steps too
[07:18] <linuxrealm> little tricky
[07:18] <mis> hi
[07:18] <Guest3679> hi
[07:19] <gry2> Hi.
[07:19] <zagibu> glisstech: I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 created user1, then logged in and created user2 using gnome classic admin tools, logged out as user1, logged in as user2, plugged in USB stick and it worked just fine
[07:19] <PythonPup> urlin2u, Thanks.  I will try it after I bring my Natty machine back up.
[07:19] <Guest3679> I am not able to share the folder can you help me
[07:20] <BarBlitz> cat /proc/swaps
[07:20] <hatch> linuxrealm: ok I'll try a few more avenues before I call it quits :)
[07:20] <zagibu> glisstech: you probably broke something
[07:20] <MACscr> ok, so i have Ubuntu 10.4 LTS running as a xen guest. For some reason during the bootup, it says unknown partition table. Im a bit confused though as there shouldnt be a partition table. Any ideas why that might be?
[07:20] <Guest3679> python I my share folder is asking password ? i did asper that url
[07:21] <Guest3679> is there any one who can guide me set samab on ubuntu I am new to this
[07:21] <PythonPup> MACscr.  Sure, there should be a partition table.  The virtual machine sees a disk and partitions just like a real machine.  At least, in VirtualBox they do.  I expect XEN is the same.
[07:22] <PythonPup> Guest3679
[07:22] <Guest3679> yes
[07:22] <Guest3679> me !!
[07:22] <MACscr> Python: my point is that there are no partitions. The OS is one disk and the swap is another
[07:22] <Guest3679> can i explain what i have done?
[07:22] <PythonPup> Guest3679, I can help you with some basic samba setup.  You just want to share a directory, right?
[07:23] <Guest3679> see I have install ubuntu in 80gb wiht /boot and / , swap then i add 250gb hdd with ntfs partion on that
[07:23] <FreezingCold> What does gnome compile in the kernel of the LiveCD?
[07:23] <VillainVivi> Is there a guide out there for setting up Ubuntu as a calendar/email sever? I want to use it as a way my family can share calendar events, mostly, but local email would be great too
[07:23] <FreezingCold> *What does Ubuntu
[07:23] <Guest3679> later i install samba4
[07:24] <Guest3679> r u there! python?
[07:24] <rectec794613> where would i go for utouch-related support?
[07:24] <FreezingCold> What does Ubuntu compile in the kernel of the LiveCD?
[07:24] <Guest3679> i created folder in /opt name test wiht chmod 6777
[07:25] <PythonPup> Guest3679, 1st, if you refer to me, use my proper handle, or I am likely to miss the message.  Second, uninstall samba4 and install samba.  Third, please tell me you don't plan to do a lot of reads and writes under Ubuntu to an NTFS disk.
[07:25] <drona> arm cortex a8 Timer 0 SP804  any sample C code ?
[07:25] <Guest3679> ok
[07:26] <rectec794613> busy day?
[07:26] <PythonPup> Guest3679, samba4 is really more for experimenting with.  It is not production ready.
[07:26] <JokesOnYou77> PythonPup: I use a shared NTFS data partition and plan to do many writes to it.  Should I not?
[07:26] <Guest3679> pythonPup shall i uninstall samba4 ?
[07:27] <Guest3679> PythonPup !!and this is new thing do u mean to say ntfs don't support for samba
[07:27] <PythonPup> I would not trust Linux with a NTFS disk for more than trivial writes.  It is great for reading.  NTFS is not documented well.
[07:27] <cah_nd3so> ah
[07:28] <PythonPup> Guest3679, samba and ntfs are separate issues.  Anything the system can read and write reliably, samba can share.  NTFS under Linux is just not a good idea
[07:28] <rectec794613> PythonPup: Do you know anything about uTouch or know what channel I can go to to get support?
[07:29] <Guest3679> PythonPup !!ok let me know which file system is sutiable for samaba
[07:29] <PythonPup> I have never heard of uTouch, rectec794613
[07:29] <JokesOnYou77> PythonPup: I have been having some issues because I didn't understand how to set the mounting parameters when I installed.  I'm going to repartition and set up RAID 1 in a week or 2 but I was planning on sticking with NTFS for the shared partition as I still use Windows about 60% of the time
[07:29] <linuxrealm> im confused, are you writing to ntfs or ntfs to linux?
[07:30] <JokesOnYou77> If you have a better suggestion I'd be open to it
[07:30] <linuxrealm> ext3/4? what?
[07:30] <linuxrealm> reiser?
[07:30] <rectec794613> PythonPup: It's a multitouch trackpad gesture recognition tool for Ubuntu. Well I'll ask around as I see you have a lot of work to do :)
[07:30] <PythonPup> Guest3679, Any normal Linux filesystem.  I usually talk over with people how they plan to use their system before we pick a filesystem.  I suppose if I had to pick one, I'd go with XFS.  Certainly not ext3 or 4.
[07:31] <PythonPup> rectec794613, That sounds like it could be a handy device.  Good luck.
[07:31] <rectec794613> Persistence... Ok so anybody hear know how I can get uTouch up and running?
[07:32] <linuxrealm> rectec794613: up and running under ubuntu?
[07:32] <rectec794613> linuxrealm: yes
[07:32] <linuxrealm> stick around, someone will help out
[07:32] <linuxrealm> may take a while
[07:32] <rectec794613> k
[07:33] <rectec794613> There's not a special channel for this type of stuff?
[07:33] <JokesOnYou77> rectec794613: I don't know, but I've heard of it, and if you do get it figured out I would be extremely grateful if you could post a quick guide on the Ubuntu forums for those who come after you :)
[07:33] <PythonPup> JokesOnYou77, NTFS filesystems can be read fine in Linux.  I use Ubuntu to recover data off of them with no problem.  A little writing is even ok.  But a lot of writing tends to lead to corrupted NTFS volumes in my experience.  I would never set one up that way.
[07:33] <Guest3679> PythonPuP I am getting this error while createing filesystem
[07:34] <Guest3679> Error creating file system: Cannot run mkfs: cannot spawn 'mkfs.xfs -L "data" /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process "mkfs.xfs" (No such file or directory)
[07:34] <rectec794613> JokesOnYou77: Sure we'll see. I've noticed the shear lack of guides and/or interest on ubuntu multitouch. Would be glad to help out people.
[07:34] <linuxrealm> i think PythonPup meant on other linux distros not ubuntu, currently ubuntu defaults to ext4. if your mounting a diff fs, then thats a diff thing
[07:35] <PythonPup> Guest3679, Only root can make a filesystem, generally.  You need to do that as sudo.  And, be very careful to specify the right partition.
[07:35] <rectec794613> It is in fact a multitouch trackpad. Windows came preinstalled on my machine with Sintellic's utility
[07:35] <Guest3679> yes I have login in with root only
[07:35] <PythonPup> linuxrealm, I don't ever use ext4.  I know it has some uses, but I don't trust it.
[07:35] <rectec794613> Damn I hate the trackpad, though lol
[07:36] <Guest3679> PythonPup yes I have login in with root only
[07:36] <linuxrealm> rectec794613: hard to add hardware when not on the box, me only, lol.
[07:37] <linuxrealm> PythonPup:  im not that advanced to be picking about a fs lol
[07:37] <JokesOnYou77> PythonPup: Do you have a good suggestion for a file system to use for my shared data partition?    But I continue to use Windows so that I can use SolidWorks, Mathematica, Matlab, WinEdt, and Netfilx.  If I can get it working, my new setup...
[07:37] <JokesOnYou77> ...will use ViruaBox to run each OS as a vmdk in the other OS
[07:38] <PythonPup> Guest3679, so the command you should issue is something like   mkfs -t xfs /dev/sdb1
[07:38] <rectec794613> linuxrealm: I think the hardware is fine, I ran evtest on event7, and found out that that was the trackpad
[07:38] <linuxrealm> JokesOnYou77: solidworks, thats pretty advanced cad stuff there
[07:38] <PythonPup> JokesOnYou77, What type of data will you be storing?  Will there be a lot of files in any 1 directory?  How large a files?
[07:38] <JokesOnYou77> rectec794613: My desire is to get either a magic trackpad to work or, preferably, get my android phone to function as a magic trackpad :)
[07:39] <rawfodog> Whats a good program for ubuntu to find and clean duplicate files ? I have a bunch of pdfs and pictures that are the same but have different file names.
[07:39] <linuxrealm> sighs, i dont have a trackpad or android to play with....
[07:39] <Guest3679> PythonPup Is on /dev/sdb but still error
[07:39] <rectec794613> JokesOnYou77: What exactly is a magic trackpad? I've heard about it but I don't know what it is.
[07:40] <linuxrealm> PythonPup: i use xfs on bsd. mounting no problem. but linux, i havent tried or had the need to yet, let alone know the differences lol
[07:40] <linuxrealm> i figure the maintainers chose the fs for a reason per distro
[07:40] <PythonPup> linuxrealm, Most people won't see a problem with ext3 or 4.  I understand that.  I have seen major problems with either.  I also consider both to be unfinished hacks.  But, I think the filesystem discussion may be deemed off topic here.
[07:41] <rectec794613> Can't even figure out how to start utouch
[07:41] <rectec794613> Running "utouch" doesn't work...
[07:41] <JokesOnYou77> PythonPup: I will be storing all filetypes, with no particular preference: documents, large raw spreadsheets, 100s of pdfs, then pictures, and mybe 50GB of music, then videos, and about 25 GB of iso files.  I will have many large (3 GB+) continuous files.
[07:41] <rectec794613> I assume you have to configure something, maybe get a service started. But what?
[07:42] <PythonPup> Guest3679, please do a fdisk -l /dev/sdb    and post the results to a pastebin.
[07:42] <JokesOnYou77> rectec794613: It's a lttle piece of Apple goodness: http://www.apple.com/magictrackpad/
[07:43] <rectec794613> JokesOnYou77: oh yeah, I saw people using that on some youtube videos
[07:43] <cpe22> hello
[07:43] <cpe22> from the hell
[07:43] <_vaibhav_> I have my hp laserjet 1020 printer, and its driver(.ko) file, i just want to make it work as when i connect my printer it should automatically load my driver module, can you please suggest me how i can acheive this?
[07:43] <rectec794613> JokesOnYou77: Would be stupid to use a trackpad on a desk if not for OS X being so gesture-centric
[07:44] <cpe22> use windows
[07:44] <PythonPup> JokesOnYou77, I'd probably go xfs in your case.  ext3 is definitely out.  reaiser3 might be OK, although I need to check one thing before I'd go with that.
[07:44] <Guest3679> PythonPup ! r u there?
[07:44] <rectec794613> cpe22: I use doors, thank you very much
[07:44] <PythonPup> Guest3679, No, I am here.
[07:44] <fuzzybunny69y1> hey guys does anyone know if it is possible to recursively replace all the _'s in filename with a space using bash?
[07:45] <Guest3679> PythonPup!!I am getting same error
[07:45] <JokesOnYou77> rectec794613: I use a projector and XBMC and other media center apps and I'd really love a getture-type trackpad to control them.  Next step is really just to use a Wii-mote, but I'd really prefer to use my phone for everything :P
[07:45] <PythonPup> Guest3679, please do a fdisk -l /dev/sdb    and post the results to a pastebin.
[07:46] <Lint> fuzzybunny69y1, why recursively?
[07:46] <PythonPup> The newest kernels have support for the kinect.  Why even hold a remote.  Use gestures.
[07:46] <linuxrealm> rectec794613: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch
[07:46] <linuxrealm> middle of page
[07:46] <JokesOnYou77> fuzzybunny69y1: It is possible, tho I don't actually know how.  But there is a good reason there are _s and not spaces, It's so that they can be read as a single file name, very important to some applications
[07:46] <fuzzybunny69y1> Lint: I have all these files in folders that have _'s that I want to replace with spaces
[07:47] <Guest3679> PythonPup how to do that pastbin ?
[07:47] <BarBlitz> yes, for f in *.ext;do f2="echo $f | sed \"s/_/ /g\"";mv -i "$f" "$f2";done
[07:47] <zagibu> crap
[07:47] <Guest3679> PythonPup !!I mean how to use Pastbin
[07:47] <fuzzybunny69y1> I am trying to compare the files and it won't for if they have different names
[07:47] <rectec794613> linuxrealm: already there... ok I'll look closely. Lemme get my Compiz brand magnifying glass
[07:47] <linuxrealm> sudo apt-get install pastebinit

[07:49] <linuxrealm> whereis dhcpd.conf
[07:49] <rectec794613> linuxrealm: So uTouch doesn't support the ol' Sintellic's?

[07:49] <linuxrealm> i have not clue rectec794613 just did a quick google to get you started
[07:49] <Lint> uname tells me I'm on 3.0.0-7, is it normal?
[07:49] <PythonPup> JokesOnYou77, reiser3 is a nice filesystem, that has a couple of downsides.  It is very good with large numbers of files.  I don't remember what the maximum filesize it can handle is.
[07:49] <Dogears> Thanks
[07:50] <BarBlitz> I'm on Slackware
[07:50] <fuzzybunny69y1> BarBlitz: was that command for me to run

[07:50] <fuzzybunny69y1> that one
[07:50] <BarBlitz> myn is in /etc
[07:51] <PythonPup> Guest3679, So, what error do you get when doing the mkfs command I gave you?
[07:51] <rectec794613> linuxrealm: Wouldn't be surprised if they aren't. Would be nice if they did, because that would mean every single MSI laptop/netbook user would be able to use multitouch on ubuntu
[07:51] <BarBlitz> erm /usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/fs/reiserfs.txt I guess
[07:51] <JokesOnYou77> PythonPup: Ahh, that is important, like FAT, that's part of why I went with NTFS the first time around.  Is there any chance of ext4?
[07:51] <BarBlitz> yes
[07:51] <BarBlitz> change .ext to .mp3 or whatever

[07:53] <linuxrealm> rectec794613: give it a month, i will come online to linux, and since ubuntu is linux, well, you will be able to use it. just give it sometime, if it isnt already available. search deeper into google is my only suggestion, and multitouch maybe a keyword... its all about keywords lol
[07:53] <IdleOne> Python1320: oneiric is not the latest version, yet.

[07:53] <IdleOne> PythonPup: ^^
