[03:32] <meway> hello I get a message that says This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only dtected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu. I wanted to make sure that this is because the system is 32 bit system. I'm not sure if thats it idk.
[03:33] <acalbaza> is there a way to show mouse click emphasis for screen recordings?
[03:33] <deww> meway: get the 32 bit version
[03:33] <meway> deww doing that now ^_^
[03:34] <resno> how do i find the path of the executable?
[03:34] <meway> but its strange I could have sworn it was a 64 bit system. Could it be something in the bios?
[03:34] <taunt> Im tryin to get wow working on ubuntu and I got everything figured out but.... Im supposed to add some lines to xorg.conf in order for it not to crash on startup.. but ubuntu doesnt use xorg.conf anymore.
[03:34] <taunt> anyone have any ideas?
[03:34] <deww> meway: when it boots later, look at /proc/cpuinfo
[03:34] <resno> taunt: youd have been luck talking with #winehq
[03:34] <redv> it does, you just have to create it taunt
[03:35] <taunt> i did
[03:35] <taunt> didnt seem to do anything tho
[03:35] <taunt> :/
[03:35] <meway> deww its a tyan thunder 2500, 933mhz Pentium 3 8gb ram....
[03:35] <strange> hey guys when i plugin a headphone my built in speakers dont disable anyone have any ideas?
[03:35] <meway> dual core*
[03:35] <redv> just curious, are you using ubuntu desktop taunt?
[03:36] <taunt> yes
[03:36] <redv> and you know you can launch WoW with -opengl in the parameter
[03:36] <taunt> desktop 32
[03:36] <redv> and it'll launch in opengl mode which works in wine
[03:36] <taunt> ya I have it in the conf file
[03:36] <meway> strange where are you plugging in your speakers and where are you plugging in your headphones?
[03:36] <deww> meway: pentium 3 didn't have 64 bit support.
[03:36] <meway> deww, than why does it have enough slots for 8gb ram support?
[03:36] <strange> meway, the speakers are built-in
[03:36] <taunt> redv can I pm u really quick?
[03:37] <deww> meway: probably because it's a server board.
[03:37] <redv> taunt: I'm not a linux expert I just go off of common sense so I probably can't be that big of a help
[03:37] <redv> are you using wine?
[03:37] <meway> deww i'm trying to install the server version
[03:37] <taunt> yeh
[03:37] <redv> and what video driver are you using?
[03:37] <meway> deww, 32 bit server supports 8g ram?
[03:37] <kinks> it appears that when I run a program on a second x server, it can't access the sound card at all - how can I fix this?
[03:37] <deww> not sure about that, guess you'll find out
[03:38] <meway> I guess XD
[03:38] <kinks> specifically, I am running nexuiz on a separate display so that I can switch back and forth
[03:38] <kwtm> naiad: Did your question get answered?
[03:38] <meway> in 7 min
[03:38] <us3r> hey guys.. is there anyone who can tell me how to put down the fan sound in ubuntu ? Under Win7 my fan is very quiet but in Ubuntu 10.10 its very loud (running all the time) .. I dont know what to do..
[03:38] <naiad> kwtm, don't think so
[03:38] <deww> meway: i think you need a kernel that supports it, maybe that kernel does
[03:38] <meway> sooo whos used ubuntu server edition that can help me get started. I never have
[03:38] <kieppie> I have a 1TB HDD I've not used for a while (think I was pondering using it for backups), but when I plugged it in, fdisk reports there is no valid partition table. I think I've loaded data on there, so I want to check it before I blow it. Is there a way to best-guess & force a mount of the disk?
[03:39] <kwtm> naiad: If I understand correctly, you can set up more than one source for your repositories --just add the other repositories from home network and also the ("real") Internet repos, and it will fall back on the other if one is not found.
[03:39] <kwtm> naiad: However, I don't know how to tell it to "first try the home network ones, and only use the other ones if the home network ones are not available".
[03:39] <amlodipine> where can i find the official linux kernels stable for 10.10? i.e. the headers/images i'm trying to run 2.6.35-24 but it keeps giving me a blank screen / tried 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 but seems to be slow on my p3 512mb laptop
[03:40] <meway> kieppie, external?
[03:40] <naiad> kwtm, thanks :)
[03:40] <kwtm> naiad: I seem to recall there was some command for "test which repositories have the fastest response" but I can't remember if that was for synaptic, apt-get, or something else entirely that was not Ubuntu repositories.
[03:40] <kwtm> naiad: Are you really a mythical creature created from the foam splashing over the sea, and live in caves off the coast of Greece?
[03:41] <kwtm> naiad: Cuz I was wondering whether you get broadband in Poseidon's cave. :)
[03:41] <kieppie> meway: i think it was initially internal, but I now have it bolted into an external chassis. a HD caviar black 1TB, so I'm pretty confident the hardware should be sound
[03:41] <meway> kieppie, try restarting the system with it mounted?
[03:41] <bullgard4> us3r: Ubuntu has hardware specific solutions for your problem. Start by reading what "ACPI" means. Have a look at /proc/ acpi/fan
[03:42] <bullgard4> us3r: Ubuntu has hardware specific solutions for your problem. Start by reading what "ACPI" means. Have a look at /proc/acpi/fan
[03:42] <kieppie> meway: what good will that do? what are you hypothesising?
[03:42] <meway> maybe its not reading the port.
[03:42] <meway> kieppie, ^
[03:43] <meway> kieppie, I have had the issue its worked for me.
[03:43] <kieppie> what? the USB port? I've tried it with a different host too
[03:43] <kieppie> meway: ^^
[03:44] <meway> kieppie, its worth a shot to restart with it mounted :p
[03:44] <kieppie> ok. I'll try, thanks. reporting back in a sec...
[03:44] <plum> hey guys
[03:45] <plum> i tried to sync with a github repo yesterday but now i want to delete it
[03:45] <kwtm> Good grief!!  After 2 hours of GParted fiddling with my partition, now it reports: "Okay, simulation worked.  Now we're going to do it for real ... "  Laptop computers will be obsolete by the time GParted gets done with this laptop's hd.... :(
[03:45] <plum> how can i remove where it was installed?
[03:46] <meway> plum, #gitorious
[03:46] <plum> thank you :)]
[03:46] <wildintellect> anynone know if you can add both deb and deb-src from a ppa with apt-add?
[03:46] <us3r> bullgard4: thx for your answer. isnt there any program for ubuntu like speedfan for windows which can put down the fan speed when cpu isnt in use ?
[03:47] <wildintellect> us3r, there are some apps that let you control the fans
[03:48] <us3r> wildintellect: can u tell me some ?
[03:48] <us3r> or a good one :)
[03:48] <cecati24> sds
[03:49] <cecati24> prueba
[03:49] <wildintellect> us3r, I haven't used any on ubuntu but I see fancontrol in the rpos
[03:49] <kieppie> meway: host is rebooted, but still no partition
[03:50] <thiefy> kwtm,  needs six tacos. he has been helping people for the last 8 hours.

[03:53] <jshmoe24> @ anyone I need someone who has about 5-7 minutes to help me get may hal daemon working, for some reason it's not picking up my dv+- in my /cdrom or /media directories and I just need someone who would know how to restart hal daemon. I have already tried sudo /etc/init.d/hald restart and that doesn't work so im stuck ;( Any good enough?
[03:53] <stever> I need help
[03:53] <stever> I'm a rookie who is completely lost
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> i think i ran a bad command, can anyone give me a hand?
[03:54] <kieppie> stever: aren't we all?
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> i deleted the /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> file
[03:54] <stever> I was running the network manager applet
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> and now whenever i try to boot, it sets me to low graphics mode
[03:54] <stever> then I started messin with stuff and I cant find it again
[03:54] <tiocfaidharla> and i can't even get that, all i can do is login terminal
[03:54] <jshmoe24> what doe you need help with stever?
[03:54] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: that file shouldn't affect your graphics card...
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> i know, im confused to
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> but the second i rm -rf'd it
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> blacked out my screen
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> and set me to that
[03:55] <tiocfaidharla> im confused
[03:55] <stever> jshmoe
[03:56] <jshmoe24> tiofaidharlaif you fo the command -rm -rf'd it that means you just completely just erased your partition completly
[03:56] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: /var/lib/dpkg/lock just keeps one process at a time running dpkg - it should be able to be deleted without an issue - I would look for another cause
[03:56] <stever> how do I get the network manager applet back and on my panel again
[03:56] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: what would you reccommend doing? i'd kind of a novice in this respect
[03:57] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: what else did you change?  what were you doing that led you to delete the dpkg lock file?
[03:57] <Beiita> VPN problems :/
[03:57] <jshmoe24> Now you are going to have to reinstall ubuntu 10.10 or whatever linux you use by buring an image of your linux and the putting it onto a cd then rerun the installer
[03:57] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: i ran this
[03:57] <tiocfaidharla> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:57] <rk_> does anybody being able to have hdmi sound working?
[03:57] <Beiita> "No valid VPN secrets" wtf?
[03:58] <tiocfaidharla> and i closed it during the process, bc it wasn't working
[03:58] <stever> If I reinstall the newest ubuntu, what happens to my files? anything?
[03:58] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: ah...
[03:58] <tiocfaidharla> it earlier said something about not booting to a dependency based something?
[03:58] <jshmoe24> how can you still sudo update && sudo apt-get upgrade if you just rm rf'd? that doesn't make sense
[03:58] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: are you at the terminal?
[03:58] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: yep
[03:59] <tiocfaidharla> thanks so much for helping
[03:59] <jshmoe24> @tiocfariharla, read my last post
[03:59] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: okay - try 'sudo apt-get -f install' - that should attempt to fix any broken packages
[03:59] <yeats> jshmoe24: he just deleted the lockfile - nothing else
[04:00] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: ok, thanks a lot. when this is done, should i just turn off the computer and try to start it again?
[04:00] <stever> I don't think I'm saavy enough to be running this
[04:00] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: depends on how it goes... does it seem to be working?
[04:00] <paq7512> do you alll know how i can save my gpu fan settings nvidia-settings on startup???
[04:01] <doc|home> tiocfaidharla: you mispelt your nick
[04:01] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: i think so, it keeps spitting out text

[04:01] <tiocfaidharla> dochome: really?
[04:01] <doc|home> tiocfaidharla: no :)

[04:03] <tiocfaidharla> what should i try now?
[04:03] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: okay, that would indicate success...  try a reboot
[04:03] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: should i type something first, or just turn off the computer?
[04:03] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: 'sudo reboot' or 'sudo shutdown -r now'
[04:03] <jshmoe24> Can i get help with restarting hal daemon while running on ubuntu 10.10 x86 ? Anyone?
[04:03] <sacarlson> mayank_: that's weird, my old usb flash had switches on them to write protect but I haven't seen one with those in some time, a small switch on the side?
[04:04] <jshmoe24> is there a support forum for ubuntu
[04:04] <jshmoe24> ?
[04:04] <jshmoe24> *
[04:04] <tiocfaidharla> jshmoe24: ubuntuforums.org
[04:05] <jshmoe24> right but for irc
[04:05] <yeats> jshmoe24: this is it ;-)
[04:05] <majnoon> <--remembers when 10 MB was a huge hard drive
[04:05] <jshmoe24> ok  yeats
[04:05] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: i tried, and it said something like "welcome to grub" and it gave me a choice of a few, and i slected the first, it was something to the tune of  generic, and now im getting a blank black screen
[04:06] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: okay, reboot try selecting one of the other kernels from the GRUB menu
[04:06] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: it's possible the newer kernel broke something
[04:06] <majnoon> there USUALY is a "failsafe" option also
[04:06] <jshmoe24> @yeats,  how do i restart my hal daemon while using ubuntu meerkat x86 10.10?
[04:07] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: i booted to one of the recovery files, and it asked me for my root password, now it's just giving me a root command line
[04:07] <yeats> jshmoe24: sorry - I'm not familiar with HAL...  I would think it would be something like 'sudo service hal restart'
[04:08] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: try a non-recovery one
[04:09] <mayank_> hi can anyone help me my pendrive had been write protected i tried formatting it but nothing is happening
[04:09] <rusivi> !forums | jshmoe24
[04:09] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: now it's giving me something it's shown me before, just the ubuntu boot page (purple background, ubuntu, dots that are orange but turning white) but it just stays like that for upwards of ten minutes
[04:10] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: hmmm
[04:10] <illuminaris> Ubuntu 11.04 / WINE 1.2.1 - WOW is running at 1 FPS (ATI Radeon 9800 PRO) I've played it with this same card in the past with no problems when there was proprietary driver support using Envy. I started it up in OpenGL mode and it crashed at character load. I've been running it in Direct3D but it only has 1-2 FPS at lowest possible graphic settings. Please advise.
[04:11] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: when did you start having problems with your system?
[04:11] <sacarlson> mayank_: I guess you didn't find the micro switch on the side of your pendrive,  try provide us with the chip type with the command lsusb
[04:11] <mayank_> hi can anyone help me my pendrive had been write protected i tried formatting it but nothing is happening
[04:11] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: the second i ran the command that deleted the lock
[04:11] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: so maybe two hours ago
[04:12] <mayank_> i m newbie so plz tell me the procedure whats lsusb
[04:12] <sacarlson> mayank_: do you know how to open a terminal?
[04:12] <mayank_> yes i knw how to open terminal what after that?
[04:13] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: not sure what to suggest...
[04:13] <sacarlson> mayank_: then type lsusb
[04:13] <mayank_> ok i have done that wt now?
[04:13] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: hmmm, ok. is there anyway to make a bootable usb drive from a terminal?
[04:14] <sacarlson> mayank_:  do you see a line with your pendrive in it?
[04:14] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: I mean, you can look in your system logs (I'd start with /var/log/messages), but something got borked in the interrupted upgrade
[04:14] <mayank_> yes this one......Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0951:1607 Kingston Technology DataTraveler 100
[04:15] <sacarlson> mayank_:   ok let me check it out
[04:15] <mayank_> ok
[04:15] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: there is a way, but if you can use another computer to do so (even Windows with UNetBootin) that would be better
[04:15] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: nah, i've not got much that's important on it, really. is there away to do a system reinstall? the problem being the only other comp i've got access to is a mac with like 300 megs of space left
[04:16] <jasono> Hello.
[04:16] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: ah, I see...
[04:16] <jasono> Can someone please help me install Java SE 6 on Ubuntu?
[04:17] <KM0201> !java | jasono
[04:17] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: so can you boot in with low graphics mode?  the Startup Disk Creator program is very easy
[04:17] <jasono> ubottu Thank you.
[04:17] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: nah, i can't, unless they're a way to do it from terminal
[04:17] <KM0201> !thanks | jasono
[04:18] <usr_> hello, is it possible to see the behavior of a program when I run it from terminal???. Something similar as looking at the code created by a macro in any ms office application.

[04:18] <stever> I have a question
[04:19] <jshmoe24> @yeats, how do i restart my thxhal daemon while using ubuntu meerkat x86 10.10?
[04:19] <jasono> ubottu I know. THat's cool. Cool you were programmed to say that. What do you run on?
[04:19] <cablop> the latest kernel is driving me crazy, sometimes it hibernates, sometimes just not
[04:19] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB%20Installation%20Media - scroll down to "Creating bootable USB manually"
[04:19] <jasono> ubottu Hi
[04:19] <cablop> would i change the hibernate module or something?
[04:19] <stever> when I run on the Ubuntu side, I can find files saved on the windows portion, but not vice-versa
[04:20] <jshmoe24> thx guys having a problem hith hal daemon right now so cant see what im typing but thank you
[04:20] <yeats> jshmoe24: don't know - like I said before - sorry
[04:20] <stever> when I run on the Ubuntu side, I can find files saved on the Windows side, but not vice-versa
[04:20] <stever> someone help
[04:20] <yeats> !bot | jasono
[04:21] <cablop> i saw there's one hibernation method, dunno its name it's the default, it is also hibernate|wswup or sth like that and it is also tuxonice... any recommendation?
[04:21] <rusivi> usr_: If your looking to debug MS Office you should ask in #dev.openoffice.org as they are focused on just that
[04:21] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: thanks, there's one part i'm confused about: how do i download the actual files using just the command line?
[04:21] <rusivi> usr_: They try to replicate MS Office features in openoffice.org
[04:21] <stever> anyone know how to do that?
[04:22] <yeats> stever: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-read-ext3ext4-linux-partition-from-windows-7.html <-- see this
[04:22] <jasono> yeats I know but fascinating.
[04:22] <stever> thanks
[04:22] <usr_> rusivi, no, not precisely. I need to convert some documents but it is so extensive that I need to automate the process. I use an application that can be called from terminal. Just by opening a file and saving it with a different extension makes the conversion for me...
[04:22] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: you can do wget <URL of .iso file>
[04:23] <jshmoe24> so what channel do i go to for quick good answers on ubuntu commnds to restart hal daemon.
[04:23] <dabbill> i just installed 11.04, the normal desktop with the launcher on the left works fine, but the classic desktop wont allow me to change themes, the windows change but the menu bars dont change
[04:23] <jshmoe24> threre has to be a command line help ubuntu linux community around here somewhere
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> dabbill, ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:24] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: you can also use one of the text-based browsers - w3m, links, lynx
[04:24] <jshmoe24> ru talking 2me?
[04:24] <tiocfaidharla> yeats: ah, thank you!
[04:24] <usr_> is 11.04 a beta?
[04:24] <jshmoe24> @ZykoticK9
[04:24] <yeats> tiocfaidharla: sure
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> usr_, yes
[04:25] <mayank_> scarlson...?/
[04:25] <uBUXUBu> m
[04:26] <jshmoe24> @ ZykoticK9> was that channel suggested for too?
[04:26] <Blue1> ZykoticK9: does 11.04 have the unity interface, or is gnome still an option?
[04:26] <ZykoticK9> jshmoe24, #ubuntu+1 is the alpha/beta channel
[04:26] <ZykoticK9> Blue1, "classic" Gnome is still an option
[04:26] <Blue1> ZykoticK9: thanks I might d/l it and give it a shot.

[04:30] <jon8> is there away to automatically fetch updates to packages and write to a log file what was updated and when (FROM Command Line)
[04:30] <frankcox777> llenux-matter of preference-try both-keep one
[04:30] <jon8> I do not want to have to do apt-get update (and upgrade if available) every day
[04:30] <AbhiJit> leenux, gnome is more out of the box. kde can be highly configured as per user needs etc
[04:30] <rusivi> Blueleaf: I also have a Toshiba w/ an Atheros wifi works right out of the box on Karmic, Lucid, Maverick.
[04:30] <bullgard4> jon8: Yes.
[04:30] <dragonnutds> i just got ubuntu on my laptop, i was playing a game when my computer overheated, now i cant get a strange command line when i try to load ubuntu, can anybody help?
[04:30] <leenux> Blue1:  does running kaffeine, k3b and amarok, say, require a lot of kde dependencies in ubuntu?  am i better off running kubuntu if i like those apps?
[04:30] <Blue1> rusivi: I had issues with 10.04 let me see if I can find the post
[04:30] <AbhiJit> leenux, kde is more eye candy eye pleasent
[04:31] <jon8> bullgard4 care to elaborate? ;)
[04:31] <leenux> AbhiJit:  true... i like gnome but those three apps i mentioned, i like
[04:31] <AbhiJit> leenux, yes rurrning kde aps in gnome require all those kde libraries to be installed
[04:31] <leenux> i think there's some good alternatives but i like k3b
[04:31] <AbhiJit> leenux, but you can easily install and use them
[04:31] <bullgard4> jon8: You better elaborate.
[04:31]  * KM0201 <3's Gnomebaker
[04:31] <AbhiJit> leenux, i am using k3b, quantaplus etc in my gnome
[04:31] <Blue1> leenux: i run k3b under gnome with no issues.  but yes it hauls in a lot of kde in the process.  I use guayadeque instead of amarok but that is a pref. issue
[04:31] <jon8> bullgard4 huh? you're the one that said yes.
[04:31] <yeats> leenux: you can use those apps in GNOME, but they won't be as pretty ;-)
[04:32] <Blue1> yeats: well said.
[04:32] <dragonnutds> my ubuntu died.... can anybody help?
[04:32] <leenux> yeats:  oh :)
[04:32] <leenux> i don't know what to do then :)
[04:32] <Blue1> dragonnutds: maybe a little more specific info?
[04:32] <dragonnutds> i just got ubuntu on my laptop, i was playing a game when my computer overheated, now i cant get a strange command line when i try to load ubuntu, can anybody help?
[04:32] <bullgard4> jon8: I have fully answered to the question which you have put here in this channel.
[04:32] <jon8> bullgard4 you said yes, but you didnt say how it is done.
[04:32] <leenux> do you think there's any difference in resources usage?
[04:32] <bullgard4> jon8: This is correct.
[04:32] <leenux> or neglible?
[04:33] <yeats> leenux: it's easy to run both side-by-side (though you might need to clean up your app menus)
[04:33] <Blue1> dragonnutds: well the simple question is did you let it cool down, and secondly what is the message?
[04:33] <sacarlson> mayank_: try read http://www.ehow.com/how_4929061_format-hard-drive-ubuntu.html
[04:33] <jon8> bullgard4 can you explain how it is done?
[04:33] <stever> who has about five minutes to help me out with a network manager issue
[04:33] <rusivi> dragonnutsds: May want to governor your CPU via CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor. My pc would always overheat unless I used it :D
[04:33] <AbhiJit> leenux, yes
[04:33] <leenux> clean up the app menus?
[04:34] <leenux> i read that kde 4.5 looks really good but i dunno
[04:34] <AbhiJit> leenux, kde willbe good on more powerful pc with a good gpu
[04:34] <dragonnutds> yes, it says somthing about a simplified grub and hitting tab for commandes, it did cool down, but i cant go and check the message because i would have to restart my computer to try to load it
[04:34] <leenux> like what gpu?
[04:34] <AbhiJit> leenux, gnome is fine for normal pcs
[04:34] <bullgard4> jon8: The command 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' will do that.
[04:34] <stever> seriously, just five minutes
[04:34] <leenux> i have a nvidia geforce 7950 gt... is it good enough?
[04:34] <AbhiJit> leenux, graphical procesing uint.
[04:34] <leenux> i have an intel quad core so i think its' good enough
[04:34] <leenux> right?
[04:34] <rusivi> dragonnutssds: My internal fan speed is not controllable by gnome sensors applet but some are, definitely check it out and if possible, run the fan at 100% all the time.
[04:34] <AbhiJit> leenux, yah i think so.more info in #kde or #kubuntu
[04:35] <yeats> leenux: if you install kubuntu-desktop, it will bring in all the KDE apps and put them in your GNOME menus - it's a matter of preference, but I like to keep the KDE apps out of my GNOME menus - that's all I meant ;-)
[04:35] <stever> yeats:  can you give me a hand when you are done
[04:35] <jon8> bullgard4 sigh.. yes, i know this, thats what i'm doing currently. I am wondering (and i already asked) if there was something i could turn on, that will automatically do that every day or so and write to a file what it did or didnt do.
[04:35] <leenux> yeats: oh... yes, that makes sense
[04:35] <Blue1> yeats:
[04:35] <dragonnutds> oh, my problem is not that it is still overheating, my problem is i cant load ubuntu
[04:35] <AbhiJit> leenux, if possible first try htis on virtual box. install ubuntu and in htat instll kde and see how it looks and runs
[04:35] <yeats> stever: just ask your question in channel and someone will answer (if they know)
[04:35] <frankcox777> I set up linux mint 9 and then ubuntu 10.10 on a fellows acer laptop and when you try to watch videos in Hulu the audio plays strangely. Basically it plays the audio twice with a few seconds between. No problems anywhere else we have tried-any ideas?
[04:35] <Blueleaf> 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
[04:35] <KM0201> Blueleaf: thats almost all devices.
[04:36] <KM0201> what chipset
[04:36] <leenux> AbhiJit: okay
[04:36] <stever> I can't get the network manager to run
[04:36] <leenux> how much disk space do i need to do that?
[04:36] <thesheff17> would anyone suggest a quad port video card that works with ubuntu?
[04:36] <Blue1> dragonnutds: the easiest way to diagnose it would be to put in a live cd and see if it boots properly off of that - then we can go from there.
[04:36] <Blueleaf> hold on ill try to find chip set
[04:36] <AbhiJit> leenux, in virtual box 8gb is fine
[04:36] <KM0201> Blueleaf: answer my PM, i'll tryt o help you
[04:36] <dragonnutds> darn, then i have to use one of my dvds and burn one....
[04:36] <leenux> but, on virtualbox, it uses a 'virtual gpu' so i can't get true idea of gpu related performance, right?
[04:37] <AbhiJit> leenux, no idea.
[04:37] <leenux> Ahadiel:  so 30gb is enough?
[04:37] <Blue1> dragonnutds: ah well but idea I can think of -- and cd's are cheap enough
[04:37] <AbhiJit> :o
[04:37] <yeats> leenux: it would not be a good test of your GPU, no
[04:37] <goddard> I have been trying to setup an email server with some luck but an something that is out of most tutorials it seems is one vital aspect and that is how to setup the domain.  Can anyone enlighten me?
[04:37] <AbhiJit> leenux, 30gh? for virtual box? noooo 8 gb is enough
[04:37] <yeats> leenux: *but* it would let you see KDE up close ;-)
[04:37] <leenux> AbhiJit:  for the kubuntu or ubuntu partition
[04:38] <AbhiJit> leenux, both
[04:38] <leenux> and then dedicate 8gb to virtualbox?
[04:38] <bullgard4> jon8: If this little problem is causing you a sigh then you better see your psychologist for a treatment. --  The command will write to a file what it did. --  You should put the command in a cronjob in order that the command will be executed automatically.
[04:38] <leenux> kay
[04:38] <jon8> bullgard4 what file does it write to?
[04:38] <leenux> trying it in virtualbox is a good idea
[04:38] <dragonnutds> it seems to happen whenever a hard shutdown accures, i have a desktop that has ubuntu, and it did the same thing when it crashed durring a update, i figured it was because of the crashing during updating so i just reinstalled....
[04:39] <stever> how do i get network manager to work again?
[04:39] <leenux> i think virtualbox only lists ubuntu 10.10 for the os, can i use that one if i install kubuntu 10.10?
[04:39] <yeats> leenux: have you used virtualbox before?
[04:39] <leenux> the kubuntu channel is  quiet... is that a concern if i need to ask support questions?
[04:39] <jon8> bullgard4 n/m found it
[04:39] <AbhiJit> stever, what happen actually?
[04:39] <leenux> yeats: no, i haven't.....why?
[04:40] <AbhiJit> hi big_t
[04:40] <bullgard4> jon8: /var/log/dpkg.log
[04:40] <jon8> yeah
[04:40] <jon8> i found it thanks bud
[04:40] <jon8> i didnt know it logged what it did
[04:40] <jon8> i appriciate your time :)
[04:40] <bullgard4> jon8: Enjoy Ubuntu!
[04:40] <yeats> leenux: just wondering from your question...  virtualbox will allow you to install any OS you want - it just gives you a "fake" computer to run on - you're not tied to a version
[04:41] <stever> It was working fine, now even through the terminal I cant get it to come up
[04:41] <leenux> yeats: last time i looked at their homepage... you can select an os for your host
[04:41] <leenux> there's only ubuntu as a choice not kubuntu
[04:41] <yeats> leenux: virtualbox will run on any OS
[04:42] <yeats> leenux: oh - I understand now
[04:42] <yeats> leenux: yes - use Ubuntu
[04:42] <yeats> leenux: sorry :-)
[04:42] <leenux> then again, it's not really de specific
[04:43] <leenux> iirc
[04:43] <yeats> as far as apps go, Ubuntu = Kubuntu - it's the same OS underneath
[04:43] <leenux> i guess desktop environment doesn't matter with virtualbox?
[04:43] <yeats> leenux: right
[04:44] <leenux> hmmmmmmmm kay :
[04:44] <leenux> )
[04:44] <Blueleaf> i am back
[04:44] <sacarlson> leenux: the choices of operating system is only to setup a default profile with mem size and hard disks space,  the ubuntu will work for you other version in virtualbox
[04:44] <leenux> hey, yeats... i haven't used ubuntu for a while... last, i used was kubuntu 9.10
[04:45] <leenux> sacarlson: you've used it?
[04:45] <leenux> sacarlson:  i have 4gb of ram... is that enough?
[04:45] <mayank_> sacarlson nothing is happening
[04:45] <Bel_P> Is there a specific version of ubuntu for netbooks?
[04:45] <sacarlson> leenux: yes I have over 14 different things that run in it
[04:45] <leenux> sacarlson: how much ram should i dedicate?
[04:45] <leenux> do i need more ram?
[04:45] <AbhiJit> Bel_P, yes ubuntu netbook edition
[04:45] <ZykoticK9> Bel_P, yes UNE (Ubuntu Netbook Edition), personally I'd go with Desktop though
[04:46] <leenux> i have a quad core cpu but virtualbox is heavy on ram resources, right?
[04:46] <mayank_> the pen drive is getting opened in read only mode
[04:46] <sacarlson> mayank_: what number step in the procedure are you stuck on?
[04:46] <AbhiJit> Bel_P, http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook
[04:46] <koepi> good morning
[04:46] <frankcox777> Sorry to repost so soon but I have to leave soon, if anyone could help it would be appreciated.
[04:46] <frankcox777> I set up linux mint 9 and then ubuntu 10.10 on a fellows acer laptop and when you try to watch videos in Hulu the audio plays strangely. Basically it plays the audio twice with a few seconds between. No problems anywhere else we have tried-any ideas?
[04:46] <AbhiJit> leenux, how much ram you have?
[04:46] <leenux> AbhiJit:  4gb
[04:46] <leenux> i thought i said already ;)
[04:46] <AbhiJit> leenux, its enough for virtual box
[04:47] <sacarlson> leenux: on your hardware 4gb?  yes I run with 2gb hardware and the simulation I run about 512meg
[04:47] <leenux> sacarlson: oh, okay
[04:47] <leenux> sacarlson: the ubuntus use firefox, right?
[04:47] <mayank_> i opend the gparted then searched my device i tried formatting it bt still its nt happening
[04:48] <yeats> leenux: with 4 GB, you could push that up to 1GB for your guest without issues - probably even 2GB
[04:48] <sacarlson> leenux: I use firefox but there are options of other
[04:48] <leenux> i guess i have a specific support question about this... do you have to install 64-bit flash from adobe website or is it included in non-free repo?
[04:49] <leenux> yeats: right... but, i think i read it's hard to change the amount or at least, hard to raise it
[04:49] <leenux> increase it, rather... so if i set it to 512mb like sacarlson did, i think it's complicated to change to 1gb for e.g.?
[04:49] <yeats> leenux: nah - not hard, you can slide it up without a problem
[04:49] <yeats> leenux: I'd start with 1GB
[04:50] <leenux> sacarlson:  yes, i know, like chrome?  i am wondering about 64-bit flash, though, if you can use it or if you need to install outside of the repository
[04:50] <sacarlson> leenux:  I use the restricted package that includes flash and java and other codec needed for normal desktop pleasure https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[04:50] <leenux> sacarlson:  i know but does that include 64-bit flash or is it using 32-bit?
[04:51] <leenux> i am asking because i had a time with installing firefox in debian but they use iceweasel..anyway long story and i tried a firefox equivalent
[04:51] <mayank_> in this forum it is said to mark maximum partiton size bt m not getting any option here to set the maximum size
[04:51] <sacarlson> leenux: I had run 64 bit ubuntu in 2008 but I had problems with other things so I now run 32bit,  I don't recall how I setup flash back then
[04:51] <leenux> yes, 1gb is probably a good to start with, thanks for the tip
[04:51] <leenux> sacarlson: oh
[04:51] <leenux> sacarlson:  that's interesting... but, we should be able to run 64-bit nowadays, no? :)
[04:52] <quentusrex> Anyone know how someone can get started filling in and fixing the official documentation?
[04:52] <leenux> too bad no one else responded... no one likes my questions, maybe ;)   maybe i blab too much ?
[04:52] <AbhiJit> leenux, no problem for my 64 ubuntu these days
[04:52] <leenux> AbhiJit:  did you install 64-bit flash?
[04:52] <AbhiJit> quentusrex, please come in #ubuntu-docs
[04:52] <bullgard4> Synaptic Maverick: "Banshee is a media management and playback application for the GNOME desktop, allowing users to import audio from CDs, search their library, create playlists of selections of their library, sync music to/from iPods and other media devices, play and manage video files and burn selections to a CD." What is here meant by »their library«?
[04:53] <AbhiJit> no
[04:53] <AbhiJit> wait
[04:53] <c2tarun> AbhiJit: are you using 64 bit ubuntu or kubuntu? I am having no problem with ubuntu
[04:53] <sacarlson> leenux: I still see problems with 64bit,  the problems still out way the benifits for me,  as you have 4gb ram it might benifit you more
[04:53] <leenux> i know it's from restricted package repo... i remember that much... i am okay at google and i think for finding that or i'd ask here if necessary for hints
[04:53] <AbhiJit> c2tarun, 64 ubuntu
[04:53] <frankcox777> Thanks anyway
[04:53] <leenux> sacarlson: of course... yes, you are right... makes more sense to run 32-bit with only 2gb of ram...sorry...
[04:53] <AbhiJit> yeha
[04:54] <AbhiJit> quentusrex, hey come in #ubuntu-beginners-wiki
[04:54] <AbhiJit> quentusrex, ask there
[04:54] <sacarlson> leenux: I recall I had to run firefox in 32bit mode when I ran 64bit system with the added 32bit libs installed
[04:54] <bullgard4> !punctuation | AbhiJit
[04:55] <AbhiJit> bullgard4, i ddnt used many ? or !
[04:55] <sacarlson> leenux: I also never got my canon printer to work in 64bit and ended up running a 32 bit simulation in virtualbox just so I could print something
[04:55] <meway> clear
[04:56] <sacarlson> leenux: skype was another problem and the list went on.............
[04:56] <bullgard4> AbhiJit: You did press the Enter key too often.
[04:57] <AbhiJit> bullgard4, ok
[04:57] <tuxhack> guys.. anyone know indepth of mdadm ?
[04:57] <leenux> sacarlson: yes, i read about canon printers
[04:57] <leenux> didn't canon get new drivers for linux 64-bit, though?
[04:58] <leenux> sacarlson: yes, it makes sense then... definitely
[04:58] <tuxhack> i just had a crash on sda.. and the hosting ppl is replacing the faulty disk
[04:59] <sacarlson> leenux: by that time I already had my solutions so I"m not sure what has improved but I'm sure some things have goten better.
[04:59] <Bel_P> How would I insert hardware RAID drivers during the install?
[04:59] <jshmoe24>  how!@Anyone - I am an experiencecd linux users that needs just a second of help with commands having to do with repariing or restarting hal daemon while using a gnome terminal.
[04:59] <Bel_P> for a desktop x64 install
[04:59] <leenux> sacarlson: hopefully... i am going to try 10.10 soon... just haven't decided whether ubuntu or kubuntu but i have used kde usually ... i am more familiar with it
[04:59] <Northwoods> how can i find/look where my apache2 is installed ?
[04:59] <tuxhack> @Bel_P make sure your hardware RAID is not winraid
[05:00] <tuxhack> ie which uses software to simulate
[05:00] <sacarlson> leenux: I prefer gnome apps but that's just like you because I am more familure with them
[05:01] <tuxhack> i had one such thing on an IBM x335 eSeries.. which blew my brains..
[05:01] <bullgard4> jshmoe24: You better put a more specific question here in this channel, directing it to the audience at large.
[05:01] <jshmoe24> k
[05:01] <leenux> sacarlson: well, i am not sure if the gnome equivalents are as good, but, must-haves are k3b and i like amarok too when listening to music files
[05:01] <tuxhack> and finally came to know that the built in raid is not supported by linux.
[05:01] <ZykoticK9> jshmoe24, is "sudo hald --daemon=no" what you are looking for?  Isn't hal deprecated at this point?
[05:01] <leenux> also, kaffeine is pretty good...
[05:01] <leenux> but other than that, i am okay with gnome apps...
[05:02] <leenux> so, it's mostly 3 that are missing from gnome :)   i don't know how rhythmbox and brasero compare or if there's new choices
[05:02] <sacarlson> leenux: oh yes but I have those also k3b is a must have,
[05:02] <leenux> i'm not up to speed
[05:02] <sacarlson> leenux: you can mix and match different gnome and kde apps
[05:03] <leenux> i just thought that calling in all those other de libraries would bog things down but sounds like it's okay
[05:03] <jshmoe24> what does hal stand for and what does it mean. Would it cause my screen to mess up?
[05:03] <sacarlson> leenux: you just have both libs installed
[05:03] <ZykoticK9> jshmoe24, hal = hardware abstraction layer.  what are you actually trying to do?
[05:04] <leenux> sacarlson:  right... interesting... i haven't mixed before :).... not to much degree
[05:04] <mister_m> is bitchx still insecure?
[05:04] <KM0201> mister_m: even if its not, there's better irc clients
[05:04] <sacarlson> leenux: we now have 1 terabyte disk drives who cares if we blow up ubuntu into a 10 gig install
[05:04] <ZykoticK9> !bitchx | mister_m
[05:05] <leenux> sacarlson: true
[05:05] <mister_m> thanks
[05:05] <Blueleaf1> back again
[05:05] <dragonnutds> i am back, the boot disk loaded, and i got what the strange commandline says, the first sentince is "minimal BASH-like line editing is supported"
[05:05] <dragonnutds> anybody know what that means
[05:06] <william_> so im trying to recover a hard drive that was shut down mid OS install, now disk is not even recognized by the existing OS on the other disk. help?
[05:06] <jshmoe24> \\I am trying to get the commands that i need to restart hal daemon or hal on ubuntu 19-8-==\]'
[05:06] <xieter> hellow world
[05:06] <jshmoe24> I am trying to get the commands that i need to restart hal daemon or hal on ubuntu 10.`10 meerkat
[05:07] <dragonnutds> my computer overheated so it crashed, now when i try to load ubuntu instead of the menu i get this strange command line that starts with "minimal BASH-like line editing is supported," help?
[05:07] <ZykoticK9> jshmoe24, FYI hal was removed from 10.04LTS, i'm not sure of it's status in 10.10 at all.  Why are you trying to use hal?
[05:08] <william_> dragonnutds, sounds like the grub menu when it isnt able to find a parition
[05:08] <william_> er not partition, kernel
[05:08] <mechanate> I install zsh to try it out but i want to switch back to bash without uninstalling zsh.  How do I switch back
[05:08] <pluxhalp44> I set a folder to "share", but it doesn't show up in "network" on windows
[05:08] <dabbill> my icons and pannels wont change when clicking on other themes, even stock themes
[05:08] <mechanate> my shell in /etc/passwd is bash
[05:08] <dragonnutds> i didnt loose the kernal, did i?
[05:09] <ZykoticK9> mechanate, and if you log out/in do you get bash?
[05:09] <mechanate> ZykoticK9: nope
[05:09] <jshmoe24> well the apt-get keeps whining abought it everytime and also i labtop wont restart its like its in a infinite spin update procure or something.
[05:10] <william_> ive had an issue before where my MBR was jacked up, and so when i pulled into grub, it listed that particular line
[05:10] <william_> do you have any other kernel versions present?
[05:10] <ZykoticK9> mechanate, try "chsh" change shell in a terminal
[05:10] <dragonnutds> i dont think so, i am a newbie at ubuntu so i just got what the windows installer came with
[05:11] <pluxhalp44> I set a folder to "share", but it doesn't show up in "network" on windows
[05:11] <mechanate> ZykoticK9: chsh shows /bin/bash as active
[05:11] <william_> i remember the issue was fixed when reinstalling grub, it reset the MBR. This may or may not have anything to do with your issue, but maybe a start
[05:11] <ZykoticK9> mechanate, sorry i have no idea then.  good luck.
[05:12] <mechanate> ZykoticK9: thanks
[05:12] <william_> so im trying to recover a hard drive that was shut down mid OS install, now disk is not even recognized by the existing OS on the other disk. help?
[05:12] <bullgard4> Synaptic Maverick: "Banshee is a media management and playback application for the GNOME desktop, allowing users to import audio from CDs, search their library, create playlists of selections of their library, sync music to/from iPods and other media devices, play and manage video files and burn selections to a CD." Was ist hier gemeint mit »their library«?
[05:12] <dragonnutds> what is a grub and how do i reinstall it
[05:12] <MagusOTB> Does linux have an OSX style unarchiver that works on zip/rar/tgz? (i.e. all it does is extract the archive to a directory with the same name as the archive had)
[05:13] <william_> grub is a program that finds the kernel after boot. can you get to a root prompt from your screen?
[05:13] <IdleOne> bullgard4: library = music directory in this case
[05:14] <MagusOTB> a CLI equivalent would be even better. I have a bunch of different types of archives that I need to extract and it's irritating that unrar/tar/unzip all have different interfaces, and I hate shell scripting.
[05:14] <william_> if you can get to a root prompt and 'apt-get install grub',
[05:14] <dragonnutds> the only promt i get is grub>
[05:14] <dragonnutds> is that root?
[05:15] <AbhiJit> !fixgrub | dragonnutds
[05:15] <bullgard4> IdleOne: Thank you very much for explaining.
[05:15] <william_> nope, thats just grub. it means the grub is up and running but not finding a kernel
[05:15] <AbhiJit> !who | william_
[05:16] <william_> dragonnutds, nope, thats just grub. it means the grub is up and running but not finding a kernel
[05:17] <dragonnutds> william_, ok, how can i get to the root from there
[05:17] <Blueleaf_> l
[05:17] <william_> dragonnutds, when I had the issue, I entered a seperate kernel and reinstalled grub and it fixed it.
[05:17] <dragonnutds> ubottu, i dont think i lost the grub, i think the grub is the only thing i can get to
[05:18] <dragonnutds> william_, and i have no idea how to do that, i hate being a newbie.....
[05:19] <william_> dragonnutds, this may be the long way around, but you might try a smaller install of ubuntu on a separate partition, like 5 GB, then see if rebooting after install allows access to the previous kernels
[05:19] <dragonnutds> i never partisoned, i have a internal install inside windows
[05:19] <william_> dragonnutds, i know the feeling :)
[05:20] <william_> dragonnutds, you mean like a vm?
[05:20] <ZykoticK9> william_, wubi probably
[05:20] <AbhiJit> dragonnutds, http://www.linux-solved.com/post/SOLVED-Help-Wubi-stops-at-grub-prompt-28340.html
[05:20] <dragonnutds> yes, wubi
[05:20] <Stronze> is anyone's graphic blurring since a recent update?
[05:21] <Stronze> anyone?
[05:21] <Anom01y> Snapshot,
[05:22] <dragonnutds> abhijit, is there a short answer to the post, some of what they are talking about i have no idea what they are talking about?
[05:22] <william_> but doesnt wubi just allow dual install from inside a running windows?
[05:22] <AbhiJit> dragonnutds, no idea. you read it neatly
[05:22] <victorhugo289> hello
[05:22] <AbhiJit> william_, its inside windows. its not dual partitioon
[05:22] <RobertSaganek2> hey i'm having trouble getting my camera to work with ubuntu... can anyone help??
[05:23] <william_> AbhiJit, really? so it is just a virtual machine running as another app on the windows desktop
[05:23] <Blueleaf_> l
[05:23] <AbhiJit> william_, right
[05:23] <ZykoticK9> RobertSaganek2, if you mean a web cam - have you tried it in "cheese"?
[05:23] <plum> hey guys
[05:24] <RobertSaganek2> no its a digital camera
[05:24] <plum> is there any program to remove unnecessary stuff like CCleaner for windows?
[05:24] <AbhiJit> plum, try bleachbit
[05:24] <william_> AbhiJit, how is it compared to vmware or virtualbox?
[05:24] <Blue1> plum: yeah hang on a sec
[05:24] <plum> sweeeeet
[05:24] <plum> looking it up...
[05:25] <Blue1> plum: System/Administration/Computer Janitor does SOME of those functions
[05:25] <dragonnutds> abhijit, wait, so when i boot ubuntu, i boot windows
[05:25] <AbhiJit> william_, virtual machine is ap inside ubuntu in that ap another os is virtualized. wubi is method to run os inside windows as pretends to be just another ap to windows but its a os to user.
[05:25] <plum> i tried that recently Blue1 , that's cool. i didn't know it had that built in.
[05:25] <AbhiJit> dragonnutds, yes
[05:25] <plum> :)
[05:26] <dragonnutds> abhijit, that might explane why my ubuntu on my desktop (not the one im troble shooting right now) might also be having problems like the windows install
[05:26] <william_> AbhiJit, I guess I dont understand the distinction between the two, how is a vm not exactly what you just described?
[05:27] <Stronze> what website can i post temp pics yo show what my screen looks like?
[05:27] <tman--> what would be causing a compaq presario desktop computer to randomly restart. ive checked the ram its fine, also i cleaned the inside of the case cpu heatsink etc. any ideas
[05:27] <AbhiJit> !imagebin | Stronze
[05:27] <RobertSaganek2> hey i'm having trouble getting my camera to work with ubuntu... can anyone help??
[05:27] <AbhiJit> dragonnutds, may be not sure
[05:27] <AbhiJit> william_, :) may be i am unable to explain the difference. and there is not 'a lot' difference
[05:28] <Stronze> http://imagebin.org/132288
[05:28] <dragonnutds> ok, new question, is there a way to reinstall wubi without reinstalling ubuntu too?
[05:28] <Stronze> it happens randomly
[05:28] <AbhiJit> william_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364155
[05:29] <Stronze> been playing eternal lands for awhile today and this the second tme it has happen
[05:29] <dragonnutds> wait, should there be more stuff in c:/ubuntu than just a few files? or can windows just not see them....
[05:30] <Stronze> anyone solutions to y problem?
[05:30] <Stronze> im tired of rebooting
[05:31] <william_> AbhiJit, :) so in theory the same thing but different in execution. thanks for the info
[05:31] <AbhiJit> william_, yah

[05:33] <william_> will wubi allow for a second kernel install that is accessible by the grun in wubi?
[05:33] <izinucs> mayank_: did you check the little switch on the side of the pendrive?
[05:33] <william_> grun = grub

[05:56] <mayank_> unmounted
[05:57] <izinucs> Is there a preferred method of getting files downloaded from bazaar.launchpad.net??
[05:57] <sacarlson> mayank_: I guess you will have to get the utility from kingstone that does a low level format,  I don't think they have a linux version I've already looked
[05:58] <optik> anyone know how to fix it?
[05:58] <mayank_> utility from kingston
[05:58] <mayank_> ?>?
[05:58] <awk> optik: you never going to fix those permissions
[05:58] <mayank_> i hav only linux
[05:58] <awk> Try 'upgrade'
[05:59] <mayank_> can u tell me how to make ped drive bootable?
[05:59] <mayank_> too
[05:59] <optik> awk: so i basically need to reinstall ubuntu
[05:59] <mayank_> so there is no way of doing it on ubuntu?
[06:00] <awk> optik: there is so many different permission on files and directories and proc fs and dev, etc. you never going to fix it..
[06:00] <skilz> I want to stretch my desktop across 2 monitors, how can I do this? I am using Nvidia Geforce Galaxy 210 1gb...
[06:00] <Inf0del> morning
[06:00] <Inf0del> *tips hat*
[06:00] <goviel> plum: are you logged in, it seems like you are not
[06:00] <awk> optik: but you might be able to stick a disk in and say 'upgrade' and it fixes some.. However I doubt it will ever be 100% and you going to have a box that is damaged.. And
[06:01] <optik> i got it, im screwed and need to format and re install ubuntu from scratch, no worries
[06:01] <mayank_> @sacarlson no other way of doing it in ubuntu?
[06:02] <Inf0del> i love ubuntu's customizable keys
[06:02] <Inf0del> :D
[06:02] <izinucs> mayank_: unetbootin .. it's in the repos
[06:02] <Inf0del> dont ever lose that
[06:03] <mayank_> i tried doing it wid unetbootin bt it gets stuck at 53%
[06:03] <izinucs> mayank_: reformat the pd with fat16 or 32
[06:04] <mayank_> ohk
[06:04] <plum> goviel: i am not signed in yet when it does that... usually it would let me sign in from there i think?
[06:04] <izinucs> Is there a preferred method of getting files downloaded from bazaar.launchpad.net??  other than "right mouse click save as" file after file after directory etc.. ?
[06:04] <plum> it does not let me select to be Available
[06:04] <mayank_> bt i still cant format my pd hav u got any soltn izinucs

[06:05] <Inf0del> use the same monitors thought
[06:05] <skilz> Yes
[06:06] <goviel> plum: usually if your info is correct it should allow you to auto login. make sure it is, and then make sure the accounts you want to use are enabled.
[06:06] <izinucs> skilz: insstall nvidia-settings.. it will show up in system>Admin
[06:06] <skilz> already got it :)
[06:06] <Inf0del> in the monitors setting
[06:06] <Inf0del> :)
[06:06] <Inf0del> side by side monitors then combine
[06:06] <optik> and let me ask u guys this since im reinstalling ubuntu, should i choose desktop or server if i am planning to run apache and other servers
[06:07] <skilz> ?
[06:07] <skilz> It's on TwinView at the moment
[06:07] <izinucs> optik: if you want a gui, desktop.. if no then server .. it has a differnt kernel
[06:07] <skilz> I can select: Disabled, Seperate X screen or Twin View
[06:08] <izinucs> twin view
[06:09] <skilz> thats what its on
[06:09] <skilz> but it isnt stretching my wallaper and gnome bar ect
[06:09] <izinucs> there's more options available.. poke around
[06:09] <skilz> it has the same wallpaper on each screen
[06:09] <skilz> and gnome bar on main screen
[06:09] <skilz> on the 24"
[06:09] <skilz> the 17" has the icons
[06:10] <Inf0del> diff size resolutions will do that
[06:10] <Inf0del> rather use the same monitors
[06:10] <Inf0del> same resolutions rather
[06:10] <skilz> so set same res?
[06:10] <Inf0del> minght help

[06:15] <carson> Does anyone know how to get netflix to work on Ubuntu Linux?
[06:17] <goviel> carson: Sadly I don't think we will ever for the moment, netflix uses microsofts silver light, so the only alternative would be a virtual windows system
[06:17] <izinucs> carson: it won't
[06:17] <doc|home> carson: I recommend emailing them to express your interest.
[06:18] <skilz_> I'm guessing the screens have to be the same size and res
[06:18] <carson> goviel well then how is it mac compatible? why would they make it mac compatible and not linux compatible?
[06:19] <sacarlson> mayank_: only low level formater I could find is http://www.apacer.com/en/support/downloads/Repair_v<IP_ADDRESS>.zip  that I found at: http://www.fixya.com/support/t345484-format_write_protect_usb_drive and as I said it's only runs on windows
[06:19] <archeleus> to where does ubuntu x86_64 install openexr libraries to?
[06:20] <archeleus> not there in /usr/local/lib
[06:20] <mayank_> ohk i will try it
[06:20] <goviel> carson: silverlight works on the mac, there alternatives, but they have not been successful
[06:20] <mayank_> thanx
[06:20]  * kwtm rolls eyes to find that, after 5 hours, GParted has completed 0 of 3 tasks needed for resizing partitions on this laptop. :P
[06:20] <carson> goviel, well that sucks... well thanks anyway
[06:20] <carson> izinucs, doc|home thanks anyway
[06:22] <oliver_> Just wanted to thank you guys for always being such a great help.  Goodnight.
[06:22] <kwtm> carson: Write a note to Netflix anyway, just to put a blip on their radar screen that someone wanted to use Netflix on Linux.  If enough people do that, maybe they will keep Linux in mind the next time.
[06:22] <goviel> carson: netflix is implementing it on android but its going to be hardware based which is bs since android is linux on the bottom. :(
[06:22] <edhant> mau nanya2 donk tentang fast-track metasploite
[06:22] <edhant> tolong bantu donk
[06:22] <carson> kwtm i think i will
[06:23] <carson> goviel yah that really sucks... why not just make it linux? or switch over to  media player that is more cross platform compatible then a windows media application?
[06:24] <kwtm> goviel: Are you serious? Netflix will have an Android client but "it is hardware based"?  I wonder if it's because they want to Tivo-ize the client?  I mean, supposedly one should be able to run Android in a virtual machine...
[06:25] <Snakkah> Hello. I was wondering, when using the Desktop Cube function of Compiz, is there a way to get labels for your desktops to display as the cube is rotating?
[06:26] <skilz_> Snakkah, Try #compiz
[06:26] <goviel> carson: i konw really sucks, i guess they are afraid of the movie studios coming down on them because someone saved a movie file...
[06:27] <joe_> Tried to upgrade to 10.4, I got the "Gave up waiting for blah blah blah", I tired every trick in the bug report.
[06:28] <carson> goviel well you could do that anyways on windows or mac, theres tons of screen and audio recorders, it shouldnt be linux they fear, just people who know how to beat the system
[06:28] <carson> goviel wich windows has those people to
[06:29] <MuftiMan> Hey guys, anyone that might be able to help me out? I'm having issues accessing my windows shares using ubuntu.
[06:29] <izinucs> how do you restart "nautilus service" .... ?? sudo service nautilus restart doesn't work
[06:30] <SkiLZ> MuftiMan, What is the problem exactly? Have you mounted the partition?
[06:30] <MuftiMan> I've tried, I just get that error 13
[06:30] <MuftiMan> sec
[06:30] <MuftiMan> Pasting the info here if that's ok?
[06:30] <m1chael> im having trouble deciding whether i should buy a cheap asus netbook ($289.99+free s/h) with windows 7 starter OR an asus netbook ($399.99+free s/h) with windows 7 pro.. i would like to dual boot with ubuntu.. what would you guys do?
[06:31] <MuftiMan> mount error(13): Permission denied
[06:31] <MuftiMan> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[06:31] <MuftiMan> is the error I get
[06:31] <goviel> kwtm: yes, hardware based... stupid idea. its going to be an app like slingtv on the ipad.
[06:31] <Blueleaf> g
[06:31] <redv> h
[06:32] <soreau> M1: try #hardware
[06:32] <soreau> m1chael: ^^
[06:32] <SkiLZ> MuftiMan, NTFS or Fat32?
[06:32] <MuftiMan> SkiLZ,  I've tried the "solution" listed here :
[06:32] <MuftiMan> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/cifs-mount-error-13-%3D-permission-denied-cifs-sucks-463271/page2.html
[06:32] <MuftiMan> Errm the shares are ntfs
[06:32] <meway> Ok I have ubuntu server 10.10 lts or w/e is the newest version. Its not connected to the internet intentionally. It has its own network. How would I go about installing a webhost on it?
[06:33] <MuftiMan> they're on a windows 7 machine
[06:33] <SkiLZ> MuftiMan, is it a network share or partition in the same computer?
[06:33] <SkiLZ> ah
[06:33] <MuftiMan> it's a network shares SkiLZ
[06:33] <meway> I have an external hardrive I can use as a resource to get things from the internet
[06:33] <MuftiMan> I was following this guide too :
[06:33] <MuftiMan> http://www.thatsquality.com/articles/mounting-windows-smb-file-shares-using-cifs
[06:34] <MuftiMan> I changed the username as it suggested in that solution and then get "could not resolve address"
[06:34] <SkiLZ> MuftiMan, You should be able to permanetly mount souch a drive with an entry in /etc/fstab, like: //server_name/share_name /path_to/mount_point cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev,uid=client_username,gid=users 0 0
[06:35] <SkiLZ> You might have to change the server_name for the IP-adress
[06:35] <meway> maybe I should reword >_<
[06:35] <actionparsnip> Muftman: if the share is on Win7 and you use Live Messenger, there can be issues
[06:35] <MuftiMan> hmm kk, I'll give that a shot
[06:35] <MuftiMan> thanks actionparsnip , I don't use it but it IS installed
[06:35] <MuftiMan> should I uninstall?
[06:36] <MuftiMan> I should probably add that I'm a complete novice with ubuntu. I'm heavily windows based so this is all pretty new to me
[06:37] <Niglop> how can I change my static IP address in ubuntu?
[06:37] <meway> I have 2 routers 1 and 2, 1= internet, 2= private server network.   I want 2 to have one machine with ubuntu server on it and have a webhost on it without connecting to the internet. Is this possible and how? I also have an external hardrive I can use to get files from the internet.
[06:37] <lvtrii> Morning All
[06:37] <lvtrii> I just ran an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 on ubuntu server
[06:38] <lvtrii> And everything's working fine, except my apache virtualhosts
[06:38] <SkiLZ> Niglop, System >> Preferences >> Network Connections
[06:38] <lvtrii> All the sites are showing the default "It works!" pafge
[06:38] <lvtrii> *page
[06:38] <lvtrii> any pointers of where to look?
[06:38] <actionparsnip> Muftiman: i believe its a service. If you websearch for: ubuntu linux windows 7 shares is a pain , it should show (it's a long doc on why. I have it
[06:38] <actionparsnip> In favourites at work
[06:38] <SkiLZ> Niglop, Click on connection type then edit settings
[06:39] <glaceman> Good morning every1:D
[06:39] <Haunt_House> why can I start a python script from the comsole, but not with a starter? It tells me permission denied
[06:39] <ubuntu> Hello
[06:40] <MuftiMan> so actionparsnip , you reckon if I uninstall WLM on the w7 machine I should be able to access it?
[06:40] <actionparsnip> Mheap::ease up on the enter key dude. You can write fairly large amounts of text on one line as I am showing you now
[06:40] <soreau> Haunt_House: What command are you using?
[06:41] <Haunt_House> python /path/script.py
[06:41] <Haunt_House> in the console it works fine
[06:41] <MuftiMan> Fuckin wewt, I have to say SkiLZ , you are AWESOME
[06:41] <mheap> actionparsnip, alright. Any tips on where I should be looking?
[06:42] <soreau> Haunt_House: Could be an environment issue. Does it work if you put the command in a script with #!/bin/bash at the top?
[06:42] <soreau> ! language | MuftiMan
[06:42] <kwtm> Haunt_House: I'm not sure what "the starter" is (presumably some GNOME Ubuntu thing --I use Kubuntu KDE), but have you tried /usr/bin/python instead of just "python"?
[06:42] <Haunt_House> soreau, trying it
[06:42] <MuftiMan> eep sorry guys
[06:42] <SkiLZ> MuftiMan, :)
[06:42] <MuftiMan> just been bashing my head at this all week
[06:42] <MuftiMan> and you help out in 10 minutes
[06:42] <MuftiMan> was amazing, thanks so much
[06:42] <SkiLZ> That's why they call me skilz :p
[06:42] <actionparsnip> Muftiman: there's a part to disable but i guess it does the same thing. Win7 changed the authentication method for shares as far as I can tell, typical Microsoft really
[06:43] <Haunt_House> #!/bin/sh I use this, but that works, soreau
[06:43] <soreau> Haunt_House: cool
[06:43] <Haunt_House> kwtm, starter is a clickable icon
[06:43] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Well, you're really trying to run /usr/bin/python, not /bin/sh, right?
[06:43] <soreau> Haunt_House: yea kwtm is right
[06:43] <Haunt_House> kwtm, basically I try to change my desktop background at startup, but I'm working my way there
[06:44] <Haunt_House> kwtm, I included that lin in the actual script
[06:44] <actionparsnip> Mheap: is the web page data in the right place? Does the new version use the same folder?
[06:44] <Haunt_House> line
[06:44] <soreau> Haunt_House: using gconftool?
[06:44] <MuftiMan> Second, just trying to add other mounts
[06:45] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Are you sure a script at startup is the best way to do it?  Anyway, assuming that it is ... it sounds like "starter" is the menu system in (GNOME) Ubuntu?  Or do you have an actual desktop icon called "starter"?  If either one, I might be able to help; if "starter" is a non-menu desktop icon that came with Ubuntu already, I'd have to profess ignorance since I use KDE.
[06:45] <mheap> actionparsnip, yes. apache.conf contains "Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled", and all of the vhosts are in there as before
[06:46] <Haunt_House> soreau, I tried it via system menu. There's one called sessions and it allows you to run stuff at login
[06:46] <kwtm> Haunt_House: well, not the actual script, but what command are you trying to run from "starter"?  If your *script* starts with "#!/usr/bin/python", that doesn't matter since only bash or some other console will read that line.  Does "starter" read that line?
[06:46] <actionparsnip> Haut_house: there are guides on how to create a script to change the wallpaper.with relation to time. It will give the gconf command
[06:48] <kwtm> Haunt_House: As an example, if I install a new menu item (under my Kubuntu) then I'd have to say:  run the command '/usr/bin/python /path/to/myscript.py'.  It might not be enough to say: run the command '/path/to/myscript' or the command 'python /path/to/myscript'  (even if my script starts with "#!/usr/bin/python")
[06:48] <nickkontos> hello, i recently bought a usb game controller and trying to configure it I accidentally made it to act as a mouse :/ how can I undo this? it's very annoying...
[06:48] <soreau> Haunt_House: FWIW, there is an automatic fading wallpaper changer in compiz 0.9
[06:48] <nickkontos> ubuntu 10.10
[06:48] <Haunt_House> kwtm, I tried several approaches. right now I tried running it directly with 'python /path/script.py' and via a shellscript running script.py. both solutions work in the console, none work otherwise
[06:48] <actionparsnip> Haunt_house: http://joeamined.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/automatically-changing-wallpaper-relatively-to-daytime-in-ubuntu/
[06:49] <soreau> nickkontos: What did you do to make it behave this way?
[06:49] <mheap> actionparsnip, got it. I need to use NameVirtualHost in the newer versions of apache, I could get away without using it in previous versions
[06:49] <actionparsnip> Mheap: glad you got the gold
[06:50] <Haunt_House> System>Preferences>Sessions thats exactly the place where I tried the pythonscript to run
[06:50] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Hmm... sorry, sounds like your query is specific to GNOME Ubuntu so I won't be able to help you.
[06:51] <Haunt_House> kwtm, dunno, at least I got the button to say permission denied
[06:51] <nickkontos> soreau, I don't know :/ I just know that I did a lot of things trying to make it just work with no success.. until I rebooted! then it worked but it worked too much... some of the applications that I have installed during this was joy2key and jscalibrator
[06:52] <kwtm> Well, good luck, Haunt_House.
[06:52] <actionparsnip> Haut_house: you can add the script there and it will run once. You will need to mark it exectable and reference it absolutely
[06:52] <nickkontos> I just entered "joystick" on the search field of the software center and installed anything that I thought could help, soreau
[06:53] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Of course!  actionparsnip has a point --is your script executable?  By all?  That must be the cause of the "permission denied" message.
[06:53] <actionparsnip> !away > mister_m-away
[06:53] <Haunt_House> if it is, the button tells me it's not there, if it isn't it tells me permission denied
[06:54] <kwtm> Hey, I want a private message, too.
[06:54] <kwtm> !away > kwtm
[06:54] <actionparsnip> Kwtm: ;)
[06:54] <mister_m-away> you guys know you can remove that stuff from appearing
[06:55] <jpmonette> somebody know how to use mod_accesslog in lighttpd? I can't start my daemon
[06:55] <mister_m-away> so stay out of my business please
[06:55] <MuftiMan> Blah ok I celebrated a little early, SkiLZ , lol
[06:55] <MuftiMan> I can only add ONE share at the moment
[06:55] <kwtm> ? Not sure what that !away message is about.  Isn't it dependent on the client whether a user ends up announcing "Hey, I'm away!  Yes, away!  You hear me?"  Does the Ubuntu IRC channel want to recommend a particular IRC client that doesn't cause this problem?
[06:56] <MuftiMan> trying to add another, I get "Couldn't chdir to /mount/media/d: No such file or directory"
[06:56] <MuftiMan> Even though I made it with sudo mkdir -p /mount/media/d
[06:56] <mister_m-away> kwtm, something about a complex and napoleon
[06:57] <SkiLZ> hmmm
[06:57] <SkiLZ> gimmie a sec
[06:58] <MuftiMan> lol thanks SkiLZ , appreciate all the help you're givin btw
[06:58] <kwtm> Yea! GParted has completed 2 of 3 operations and will now only take a *short* eternity to actually expand the size of my main Ubuntu partition!  (Why won't Ubuntu fit into 4G any more?  Used to be I'd install Linux in 2G partitions and have plenty of space left over)
[06:59] <MuftiMan> Oh, I thought I was done :( seems I only did a "proof of concept" lol
[07:00] <tt>  What's the difference between Grub2 and Grub?
[07:00] <Zorlin> Grub2 is a pain in the ass
[07:00] <Zorlin> :P
[07:00] <Haunt_House> if I put this in the python script '#!/bin/python' do I have to use the python command to start it?
[07:00] <Zorlin> No, Grub2 is more modular and more advanced
[07:01] <Zorlin> and (AFAIK) has a lot of redesigned configuration (tt)
[07:01] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Not if you run it from the command line.  If it's some other program (e.g. "starter"), not so sure.
[07:02] <tt> Zorlin:How to know which version I install?
[07:02] <meway> Hello I installed ubuntu server on a machine without it being connected to the internet. After plugging it into the network how do I make it obtain an IP address and connect to the internet?
[07:02] <kwtm> Hey, let me try a factoid!
[07:02] <kwtm> !who | Zorlin
[07:02] <Zorlin> tt: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:02] <Zorlin> kwtm: I already knew that... =_=
[07:02] <Zorlin> kwtm: I was using it already
[07:02] <kwtm> Hey, it's worked!
[07:02] <tt> Zorlin:10.04and10.10
[07:03] <kwtm> Zorlin: Yeah, I know.  I was just trying out factoids. :)
[07:03] <Zorlin> :_:
[07:03] <kwtm> !dont-overuse-factoids | kwtm
[07:03] <Zorlin> tt: I would recommend using grub2
[07:03] <kwtm> Darn.
[07:03] <Zorlin> tt: as its generally considered the "supported" version of grub on the default system
[07:03] <kwtm> Zorlin: So Grub2 is a more modular, more advanced pain in the ass.
[07:03] <soreau> meway: ifconfig eth0 <ip> && dhclient eth0
[07:04] <Zorlin> kwtm: Yeah, pretty much. I don't particularly like it, but its also probably the way forward
[07:04] <kwtm> Zorlin: I'm still using Grub(1) because I used it before and I don't want to mess with it corrupting my triple boot.
[07:05] <Zorlin> kwtm: =]
[07:05] <tt> When I tap 'grub' in terminal,it says 'grub uninstall'.What's wrong?
[07:05] <Haunt_House> HAHA, I got it
[07:07] <Zorlin> so in truth tt: basically you can use either one
[07:07] <Zorlin> and tt: you need to run grub-setup I think
[07:08] <tt> Zorlin:Th you
[07:08] <bj0> Wom 4
[07:08] <Zorlin> =]
[07:09] <guiness> whats up room
[07:09] <tt> Zorlin:I find it's hard for to learn Grub
[07:09] <meway> soreau: santex error near "&&"
[07:09] <Zorlin> tt: generally users don't have to deal with grub
[07:10] <meway> near unexpected token "&&" *
[07:10] <Zorlin> why do you need to install it? did you uninstall it earlier or something?
[07:10] <soreau> meway: You need to replace <ip> with a real internal ip
[07:10] <meway> >_> what?
[07:10] <meway> soreau without the <> ?
[07:10] <soreau> meway: What nameserver is there in /etc/resolv.conf?
[07:11] <tt> zorlin:After installing win7,I have to learn Grub.
[07:11] <meway> soreau: can you be more specific of what the internal ip is? (routers IP) or what?
[07:11] <Zorlin> tt: Oh, to restore it?
[07:12] <Anom01y> anyone know why google earth doesnt work in Ubuntu for me ?
[07:12] <Zorlin> tt: As in installing Windows 7 got rid of it?
[07:12] <soreau> meway: Keep it in the channel please
[07:12] <Haunt_House> soreau, kwtm, changing all paths in the script to absolute seems to have helped (:
[07:12] <meway> soreau: k I'm going to look in that file one sec brb server is in another room >_<
[07:12] <soreau> Haunt_House: Its never a bad idea
[07:13] <tt> Zorlin:Yes,always!
[07:13] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Oh!! I see now; the "permission denied" was not for the script itself; the script was executing and the "permission denied" error was generated by the script, then!
[07:13] <TomCX> ...
[07:13] <TomCX> ..i have 'app' source code already downloaded+add modification, but want to do 'apt-get' for the dependency via internet...how to do that?
[07:13] <TomCX> .how?
[07:14] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Note for the future: your environment is not necessarily inherited when you run the script, so $PATH etc. may be different.  I see a lot of people run python scripts not with "#!/usr/bin/python" but with "#!/usr/bin/env python".  But that doesn't always work, either, so set your $PYTHONPATH and $PATH.
[07:14] <kwtm> Haunt_House: and $PWD, too.
[07:14] <Haunt_House> kwtm, starter works now and maybe it'll work at boot. Thank you both, kwtm  and soreau. If you want, I'll put you on the thanks list when my live action series starts
[07:15] <kwtm> Haunt_House: Live action?  Is that, like, Spongebob Squarepants using real actors instead of cartoon?
[07:15] <soreau> ! work | Zorlin
[07:16] <Haunt_House> kwtm, yes, but with actors instead of spongebob
[07:16] <Zorlin> soreau: ???
[07:16] <santhosh> hi guys some one help me
[07:16] <Zorlin> tt: I think you'd want grub2 in that case
[07:16] <EvilPhoenix> !ask | santhosh
[07:16] <soreau> Zorlin: You need to explain what about google earth isnt working
[07:16] <santhosh> i run a ping command on ubuntu 10.04 server
[07:16] <Zorlin> tt: if you're using a liveCD to fix grub
[07:16] <kwtm> TomCX: I think what you mean is: you modified an app that would otherwise be available as a package, so you want to install the dependencies for that package, but use your own customized version of that package itself, yes?
[07:16] <rick_2047> hello, for the past few weeks gtalk has stopped working on pidgin, I tried force old ssl option but it didn't work. Help?
[07:17] <soreau> Zorlin: Oh sorry, getting you confused with someone elses nick
[07:17] <santhosh> it constantly pings and is not at all stopping and id have to restart
[07:17] <Zorlin> soreau: Wrong user, I think :)
[07:17] <Zorlin> soreau: Yeah. No problem, haha
[07:17] <soreau> ! work | Anom01y
[07:17] <soreau> Zorlin :)
[07:17] <santhosh> is there a way to stop a command like ping from executing instead of having to restart the sytem each time
[07:17] <nVee> Hey guys. I have a "testing" server (latest desktop build) running a clean copy of a LAMP server
[07:17] <kwtm> TomCX: If yes, then I guess you could install the standard version of the package first (which installs all the dependencies) and then modify the package.
[07:17] <nVee> WE have multiple people working off files on this server. The default folder is var/www
[07:18] <soreau> santhosh: huh?
[07:18] <kwtm> Hey, Ubuntu doesn't work!
[07:18] <kwtm> !work | kwtm
[07:18] <nVee> can anyone perhaps help me (please guide me) on how can I change the /var/www permissions so that its 777 to EVERYONE?
[07:18] <tt> Zorlin:Thank u
[07:18] <nVee> I have created a usergroup
[07:18] <soreau> nVee: chmod
[07:18] <MuftiMan> SkiLZ,  you still about?
[07:18] <kwtm> Hey, how come ubottu sent me a private message instead!?
[07:18] <kwtm> ! work | kwtm
[07:18] <MuftiMan> Am trying to save the fstab file but I'm unsure how to do so?
[07:18] <meway> soreau: ok the nameserver in there is <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:18] <TomCX> ./configure
[07:18] <Zorlin> !testing > kwtm
[07:18] <nVee> soreau: That works but once someone creates a new file, then we have to everyday change the permissions
[07:18] <santhosh> i ran ping 192.... and the command is executing again and again
[07:19] <santhosh> how can i stop it without having to restart my system
[07:19] <soreau> meway: And that is the ip of your router, correct?
[07:19] <TomCX> who the bot here
[07:19] <sacarlson> santhosh:  you can just hit <ctl> c
[07:19] <nVee> it changes it on existing files, but once a new file is created then its read only to other users
[07:19] <Anom01y> soreau, sorry just trying to fix it for a friend in #infozone
[07:19] <TomCX> i need to ask the bot
[07:19] <Anom01y> he's running ubuntu + gnome
[07:19] <meway> soreau: <IP_ADDRESS> <is the ip of my router
[07:19] <santhosh> thanks
[07:19] <nVee> I need that folder to have 777 for all users in the usergroup, for existing and new files
[07:19] <soreau> meway: Can you ping the router ip from the server?
[07:19] <meway> soreau: idk
[07:19] <kwtm> Ubuntu doesn't work!  It sits on the couch all day wanting more money!  It goes on IRC all day long.
[07:19] <meway> brb
[07:20] <MuftiMan> anyone? =/ I've gotten to the point where it's almost done I think
[07:20] <kwtm> Oops, wait, that describes myself.  Never mind.
[07:20] <MuftiMan> but I need to save the fstab file before I close terminal - I just don't know how
[07:20] <soreau> meway: Try it and if you can, change the nameserver is resolv.conf to the ip of your router then try to ping google.com
[07:20] <MuftiMan> lol
[07:20] <santhosh> ok i just installed ubuntu 10.04 i set a static ip for my system in /etc/network/interfaces . still im not able to ping any of my other systems in the network
[07:20] <nVee> wow whats the point
[07:21] <soreau> Anom01y: What kind of graphics card is it?
[07:22] <meway> soreau: network is unreachable
[07:22] <aleiex> hi, I need to burn an .mdf file, but can't with brasero
[07:22] <aleiex> any software to do that?
[07:22] <santhosh> ok i just installed ubuntu 10.04 i set a static ip for my system in /etc/network/interfaces . still im not able to ping any of my other systems in the network
[07:22] <meway> soreau: you want me to change it anyway?
[07:23] <nVee> Geez I would PAY for support
[07:23] <nVee> but thats probably the thing with open source
[07:23] <nVee> and why windows would just always be better
[07:23] <glaceman> exit
[07:23] <nVee> because linux have overcomplicated the simplist of tasks
[07:23] <glaceman> oups !lol wrong window
[07:23] <glaceman> lol
[07:23] <Tm_T> nVee: please stick on ubuntu support
[07:23] <kwtm> Holy cow! GParted is DONE!  Okay, bye everyone! Time to reboot my Dellbuntu and be productive again!
[07:23] <Tm_T> nVee: this is no place for personal rants
[07:23] <nVee> Tm_T: you're kidding me
[07:23] <nVee> I asked a question
[07:23] <santhosh> ok i just installed ubuntu 10.04 i set a static ip for my system in /etc/network/interfaces . still im not able to ping any of my other systems in the network. what should i do guys
[07:24] <nVee> 4 times already
[07:24] <nVee> and no one can help
[07:24] <guiness> nvee what is your question
[07:24] <santhosh> guiness:ok i just installed ubuntu 10.04 i set a static ip for my system in /etc/network/interfaces . still im not able to ping any of my other systems in the network. what should i do guys
[07:24] <Tm_T> nVee: patience (and yes there's commercial support options too)
[07:24] <nVee> I need /var/www to give full access to a usergroup.
[07:24] <kwtm> nVee are you implying that Ubuntu is NOT the most perfectest, wonderfullest, bestest system in the whole wide world???  We won't have that on the #ubuntu channel!
[07:24] <nVee> thats the long of the short
[07:25] <guiness> santhosh what are your other systems set to
[07:25] <nVee> hahahahaha
[07:25] <santhosh> they are all running on the same subnet
[07:25] <guiness> stst or dyn
[07:25] <santhosh> st
[07:25] <soreau> meway: Ok, try this: Set the nameserver to the router ip, then run something like this:  http://pastebin.com/eq1Z8ZCy
[07:25] <nVee> 14 people work of /var/www for some testing sites. Everytime someone creates a new folder / file, we manually first have to go change the permissions so that theother users can also use it
[07:25] <underdone> My apologies for coming in and out,setting up Ubuntu for a friend, experience some issues with XChat
[07:26] <guiness> ok and what are you trying to do...ultimately again
 can anyone perhaps help me (please guide me) on how can I change the /var/www permissions so that its 777 to EVERYONE?
[07:27] <Tm_T> nVee: you prolly like to have ACL for that
[07:27] <klochner> anyone willing to discuss the finer points of ubuntu services? (/etc/init.d/ scripts)
[07:27] <Tm_T> !acl
[07:27] <soreau> meway: Then of course try to ping the router ip and google.com
[07:27] <barebone> Hello, how can I add Skype in startup?
[07:27] <zenmower> what is the name of the program that lets you set your desktop options
[07:27] <Myrtti> nvee 777 gives all rights to anyone, what you need to do is to use the sticky bit, user group and the second permission number
[07:27] <meway> soreau: the thing is the router is set to not respond to ping
[07:27] <zenmower> my power cycled and i am missing my taskbars
[07:27] <Anom01y> soreau, hey its an Nvidia 8800
[07:27] <bj0> barebone: System->Preferences->Startup Applications
[07:27] <meway> soreau: idk why cause I did not do this
[07:28] <tfilipczuk> tica
[07:28] <barebone> bj0, yes, I did. Now it wants to know the command.
[07:28] <soreau> Anom01y: And what is the problem with the program exactly?
[07:28] <barebone> bj0, and I don't know the command.
[07:28] <bj0> barebone: i think it's just 'skype'
[07:29] <barebone> bj0, I think not.
[07:30] <Anom01y> soreau, well it installs to /opt/google/earth
[07:30] <Anom01y> and the link on the desktop does nothing
[07:30] <nVee> Guys I apologise for coming off blunt
[07:30] <soreau> Anom01y: What about running it from CLI?
[07:30] <nVee> but you need to understand my frustration thus far
[07:30] <Bzek> Hello. How to disable keyboard layout switching with Alt+Shift?
[07:30] <nVee> doing a lot of "do this do that" but not reaping the benefits
[07:30] <nVee> I really have very little experience so I dont know
[07:30] <bj0> barebone: it works if i type 'skype' in a terminal
[07:31] <Anom01y> CLI? how do I do that ?
[07:31] <nVee> Does anyone know of a resource online (and please a simple step by step one) to just help me change either /var/www to full write whoever logs in
[07:31] <nVee> even if they dont log in, just access /var/www as a shared folder
[07:31] <barebone> bj0, okay.
[07:31] <nVee> so that they can just access the folder and do what they please
[07:31] <meway> soreau: brb I will go do that I had to wrte all that down
[07:32] <soreau> meway: No worries, but if you get stuck and Im not here, try #networking for reliable information
[07:32] <barebone> bj0, okay, thanks. I'll see if it works.
[07:35] <sacarlson> nVee: not sure this is what you want but you can learn how permitions are set and how they work heres a detailed site: http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml
[07:36] <manole> hola
[07:36] <Anom01y> soreau, what is CLI ?
[07:37] <soreau> Anom01y: command line interface
[07:37] <meway> soreau: ok I got errors like no such routing and no such device.
[07:37] <soreau> Anom01y: aka Terminal
[07:37] <soreau> meway: Does ifconfig show an eth0 iface?
[07:37] <goviel> nVee: http://www.apaddedcell.com/ssh-allowing-multiple-users-edit-files-and-directories-shared-folders
[07:37] <meway> soreau: brb XD
[07:37] <Anom01y> soreau, duh yeah thanks
[07:38] <jitit> hey,i am having trouble installing my network card's drivers correctly. can someone help me?
[07:39] <meway> soreau: the only thing it shows me is local
[07:40] <meway> soreau: is it possible that its not reading my onboard network card? If so how would I manually install it assuming its there just not active.. :|
[07:40] <meway> computer was set up offline
[07:40] <soreau> meway: Ah then the kernel module for your ethernet card likely isnt loaded or there is a problem with it. What is the card per lspci and does dmesg show any interesting messages about it?
[07:41] <MadRobot> Hi all
[07:42] <MadRobot> How do I fix a BADSIG problem in Maverick?
[07:42] <jitit> hi, does anyone know how to determine whther my USB network card works in "managed mode" ?
[07:42] <soreau> jitit: Since managed mode is the typical function, it should work
[07:43] <jitit> oh hehe, thanks
[07:43] <meway> soreau: well I can tell you what the board is. the lan is onboard. (I will do dmesg in a moment) Tyan thunder 2500, dualcore pentium3 933 processor, 8gb ram.
[07:43] <histo> jitit: managed mode should work. that's a normal connection to an AP
[07:43] <jitit> managed mode means its ability to detect networks?
[07:43] <meway> soreau: idk if that helps with what you were asking or not :|
[07:43] <soreau> meway: Yes but lspci gives you specific information about the pci hardware bus
[07:46] <meway> soreau: so what is it that you want me to do? dmesg gives me a very large list of things wich would be difficult to catch using just terminal. (this should also help. the drive was made on one machine and than stuck in the tyan thunder later on.)
[07:46] <meway> soreau: everything on the machine is new just out of the box
[07:47] <meway> soreau: the reason that the drive was stuck in later on is because the tyan had a tendancy to dislike disk drives and freeze
[07:48] <soreau> meway: Its possible the module isnt being loaded. You need to look at the output of lspci, identify your NIC there and google it to find the kernel module name, then load it with modprobe and see if you get an eth0 iface
[07:48] <meway> soreau: its safe to assume that its not activated or the wrong drivesr are installed
[07:49] <SkiLZ> I am using Google Chrome, when on facebook chat I get a message it makes a beep noise, it's really annoying, how can I disable this?
[07:49] <meway> soreau: ok so the command to do is lspci?
[07:49] <soreau> meway: yes
[07:50] <guiness> skilz switch to the fox
[07:51] <jitit> where is the /os/linux root in ubuntu?
[07:52] <soreau> jitit: /
[07:52] <jitit> root is the wrong word, isnt it?
[07:53] <guiness> what file are you looking for
[07:53] <meway> soreau: I'm looking for the ethernet controller right?
[07:53] <jitit> im not looking for a file. im trying to install my network card's drivers
[07:53] <soreau> meway: right
[07:53] <SkiLZ> guiness, Firefox has many known security issues. Not to mention it uses more resources and 'looks' so 90's....
[07:53] <soreau> jitit: what chipset is it?
[07:54] <guiness> are you on linux
[07:54] <guiness> ??
[07:54] <jitit> ralink rt2870
[07:54] <meway> soreau: Intel corporation 82557/8/9/01 Ethernet pro 100
[07:54] <meway> ev 08)
[07:54] <SkiLZ> Yes I am
[07:54] <guiness> you can use a theme, that will change the look
[07:54] <guiness> clam av for virus
[07:54] <guiness> what else u need lol
[07:54] <SkiLZ> I don't want to use a theme! I like Chromium!
[07:55] <guiness> i found the fox to be faster than chr
[07:55] <guiness> i know i was a fervent chromie
[07:55] <SkiLZ> Oh, speaking of clamav...
[07:55] <guiness> i liked fox better for linux
[07:55] <guiness> i dont use clam tho
[07:55] <SkiLZ> I used to use firefox
[07:55] <meway> soreau: googled I'm looking at the loopback topic :/
[07:55] <soreau> meway: Which version if ubuntu is it?
[07:55] <jitit> nm i figured it out thx
[07:55] <soreau> meway: of*
[07:55] <meway> soreau: the newest server editon lts
[07:56] <meway> at least I think lts
[07:56] <meway> 32 bit
[07:56] <guiness> i still do with my win instalation
[07:56] <soreau> meway: Do you see any output from this command?: lsmod|grep e100
[07:56] <jon8> is there an rss feed of sorts when there are updates to the maverick repositories??
[07:56] <ao> headphones don't work (sound still comes out laptop speakers) suggestions?
[07:56] <SkiLZ> ClamAV: The database directory must be writable for UID 1000 or GID 1000
[07:56] <guiness> ao ur talking abotu the headphone snese
[07:56] <guiness> ??
[07:57] <SkiLZ> when I installed it first, it could not create the directories for quarentine ect
[07:57] <ao> whats snese?
[07:57] <meway> soreau: sec
[07:57] <guiness> oops sense
[07:57] <guiness> when u plug in headphones in and it swaps sound...
[07:57] <guiness> like i said i dont use clam
[07:57] <ao> i guess... when i plug in any set the sounds doesnt revert over but instead plays out both
[07:57] <SkiLZ> guiness, what do you use?
[07:58] <jitit> the readme file for my driver reads "define the GCC and LD of the target machine, define the compiler flags CFLAGS"
[07:58] <jitit> what does this mean?
[07:58] <guiness> i still havent found a solution to that problem yet
[07:58] <guiness> i swap it manually
[07:58] <ao> how do u swap it?
[07:58] <ao> my laptop speaker sucks anyway
[07:58] <guiness> it is in the sound preferences
[07:58] <jankoprowski> Hi
[07:58] <histo> !who
[07:59] <guiness> skilz another program i found a while ago
[07:59] <jankoprowski> I'm looking some NCURSES tool to set proxy in Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
[07:59] <jitit> !ubottu test
[07:59] <guiness> prolly time to udate my program
[07:59] <SkiLZ> guiness, named?
[07:59] <guiness> dotn remember its automated
[08:00] <meway> soreau: yes I do
[08:00] <meway> soreau: would you like the specifics?
[08:00] <hi5> hi all
[08:00] <ao> sound preferences / sounds tab?
[08:00] <ao> or devices?
[08:01] <soreau> meway: hmm, you should probably have an eth0 interface then. Does dmesg say anything interesting?
[08:01] <guiness> ao go to the output tab
[08:01] <guiness> click on the speaker icon atop the screen
[08:01] <hi5> if with shutdown - r the pc goes reboot, but with shutdown from kde no way, what could be stopping it from work?
[08:01] <ao> i dont have that tab
[08:01] <meway> soreau: you would have to be more specific about that. It shows a tone of stuff :|
[08:01] <ao> sound playback dropdown menu?
[08:02] <jitit> 	define the GCC and LD of the target machine
[08:02] <jitit> 	define the compiler flags CFLAGS
[08:02] <jitit> anyone know what these mean?
[08:02] <soreau> meway: You would be looking for anything indicating a problem with the network setup and/or module
[08:02] <ao> i am using 9.04
[08:02] <meway> soreau: how do I pause the screen when its scrolling ?
[08:02] <meway> its a large list
[08:02] <Planck_> jitit: GCC would be a variable describing where to find the compiler, LD the linker, and CFLAGS the compiler options
[08:03] <guiness> click on the volume icon
[08:03] <guiness>  preferences
[08:03] <guiness>  output tab
[08:03] <guiness>  connector drop down menu
[08:03] <FloodBot4> guiness: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:03] <histo> jankoprowski: what about something like webmin?  do it through a web page?
[08:03] <histo> meway: somecomand | more
[08:03] <meway> histo: ??
[08:04] <histo> meway: to pause the output you put | more after the comand.  like lspci | grep more
[08:04] <SkiLZ> I am using Google Chrome, when on facebook chat I get a message it makes a beep noise, it's really annoying, how can I disable this? I think it may be a facebook thing
[08:04] <meway> histo: ah ok
[08:04] <meway> brb
[08:05] <ao> guiness under volume control i have HDA intel drivers
[08:05] <jankoprowski> How set proxy server on Ubuntu Server from command-line?
[08:06] <histo> jankoprowski: what proxy are you using?
[08:06] <histo> !proxy | jankoprowski
[08:06] <ao> wait found it
[08:07] <ao> is output another term for PCM?
[08:07] <SkiLZ> !cloak
[08:07] <jankoprowski> histo: I use some proxy-balancer (placed somewhere in my network) which work for http https and ftp
[08:07] <jankoprowski> Commonly I set http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy but I need apply this for whole system
[08:07] <histo> jankoprowski: well each proxy server would be configured differently. I'm not sure I really understand you questions.
[08:08] <jankoprowski> histo: The problem is I don't have X on server
[08:08] <histo> jankoprowski: yeah you don't need X
[08:08] <histo> jankoprowski: /etc  will contain all your config files
[08:08] <soreau> meway: Try Shift+PgUp to scroll
[08:08] <nVee> bash: /etc/pam.d/common-session: Permission denied - I get this when trying echo "session optional pam_umask.so umask=002" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
[08:09] <jankoprowski> histo: And I need eqivalent for System -> Preferences -> Proxy
[08:09] <jankoprowski> from GNOME environ
[08:09] <jankoprowski> histo: something like this but in shell
[08:09] <nVee> i also tried sudo echo "session optional pam_umask.so umask=002" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
[08:09] <soreau> meway: The other option is to rmmod e100 && modprobe e100 && dmesg|tail
[08:09] <jankoprowski> histo: Just GUI (NCURSES) to set system properly :)
[08:09] <soreau> meway: This reloads the module and puts the information at the end of the syslog
[08:10] <ao> guiness: please help
[08:10] <histo> jankoprowski: Have you installed a proxy server?
[08:10] <histo> brb reboot
[08:10] <soreau> meway: You can even load it with parameters (see modinfo e100) like this: modprobe e100 debug=16 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1
[08:11] <nVee> bash: /etc/pam.d/common-session: Permission denied - I get this when trying echo "session optional pam_umask.so umask=002" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
[08:11] <nVee> i also tried sudo echo "session optional pam_umask.so umask=002" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session
[08:12] <bj0> nVee: thats because the sudo only applies to the first command, not the '>>', you can do a 'sudo su' to become root in the terminal
[08:13] <maco> bj0: no need
[08:13] <gsouque_> dose any body know a way to prevent user from shunting down a freenx server under a nx session ?
[08:13] <maco> nVee: instead of >> use  "| tee -a"
[08:13] <maco> nVee: sorry... "| sudo tee -a"
[08:13] <maco> nVee: and then no need for sudo in front of the echo
[08:14] <nVee> i see
[08:14] <nVee> okay I think I have it working
[08:14] <nVee> i question tho
[08:14] <nVee> that changes deafault folder permission to 775 and files to 664 correct?
[08:15] <nVee> well for new files?
[08:15] <nVee> and folders
[08:15] <nVee> If I wanted to set it to 777 for both new files and new folders?
[08:15] <maco> nVee: the 775 sounds right, though i didnt know it behaved differently for folders versus files...
[08:15] <maco> nVee: 777 means umask is 000
[08:16] <nVee> awesome
[08:16] <nVee> maco, i more question
[08:16] <nVee> 1 more question
[08:16] <nVee> can I add "nobody" to a usergroup
[08:16] <nVee> that would mean that someone could access the shared folder
[08:16] <nVee> and also have the same previledges of the users within that usergroup?
[08:17] <meway> soreau: I figured out how to scroll. I found nothing strange btw
[08:17] <meway> soreau: you wanted me to try other things? or were you saying other options for scrolling?
[08:18] <MadRobot> Hi all, is gmake installed by default?
[08:18] <soreau> meway: Well you could reload the module with those options.. debug=16 should be the most verbose output in dmesg
[08:18] <maco> nVee: "nobody" isnt a user you tend to be wanting to give permissions to...
[08:18] <mari> MadRobot: dpkg -l | grep -i gcc
 check in synaptic
[08:19] <MadRobot> mari, vadimkiselev thanks
[08:19] <meway> soreau: as I said before I am a bit new so, I is confused ^_^
[08:19] <nVee> maco: Whats happening is that when I access the shared folder from e.g. a windows machine
[08:19] <nVee> i dont get the authentication tab
[08:19] <nVee> so technically most users log in without "authenticating"
[08:19] <nVee> I want users to be able to modify that shared folder irrelevant if they are logged in or not
[08:20] <MadRobot> vadimkiselev, it seems it doesn't even exist.
[08:20] <SkiLZ> guiness, Firefox makes that beep sound to on facebook chat
[08:20] <MadRobot> vadimkiselev, synaptic couldn't locate it..
[08:20] <nVee> i understand the security issues
[08:20] <SkiLZ> so it may something to do with facebook
[08:20] <nVee> but this really is just an internal box
[08:20] <nVee> security is 0% a risk for me
[08:20] <nVee> :)
[08:20] <MadRobot> Is make the same as gmake?
[08:21] <maco> nVee: guess you could try it then
[08:21] <mari> nVee: you share with samba ?
[08:21] <nVee> mari, i think so (judging from my idiot questions you can see im very new to linux)
[08:21] <nVee> but i recall installing samba
[08:21] <nVee> or something like that :)
[08:21] <OdmincheG> .ощшт №гигтег-кг
[08:22] <meway> soreau: is there a way I coud make it reconnect to the router
[08:22] <nVee> it was one of those "do this, then do this, then do this" things :)
[08:22] <meway> OdmincheG: english please
[08:22] <mari> security in samba is easy, mouse right in folder, Share, Then in the options you can put access
[08:23] <guiness> skilz hit ur mute button
[08:23] <mari> sorry for my english
[08:23] <guiness> ao go to the output tab uncer sound preferendces
[08:24] <hi5> if with shutdown - r the pc goes reboot, but with shutdown from kde no way, what could be stopping it from work?
[08:24] <soreau> meway: You cant do anything without the kernel module working correctly - you need an interface to use the card
[08:24] <jitit> hey, how do i check which drivers my wireless USB card is currently using?
[08:25] <meway> soreau: what if I put in another card?
[08:25] <meway> soreau: could that help?
[08:25] <soreau> meway: If you have one, definitely try it
[08:25] <meway> Okies

[08:46] <Gnea> RAM.
[08:46] <Chilaquiles> mhhhh, im not sure
[08:46] <histo> SkiLZ: there's a water plugin. you can even make it rain. I don't know about reflection though.

[08:53] <Ascavasaion> soreau: Oh... let me check... be back in a bit.
[08:53] <histo> anastasis: you didn't ask a question
[08:53] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: can you visit http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[08:53] <mac123> anyone help getting a wireless adapter working?  bout to bang my head against a wall
[08:53] <Gnea> !wifi | mac123
[08:53] <Chilaquiles> yes
[08:53] <histo> van7hu: there are plenty of games
[08:53] <histo> !games > van7hu
[08:53] <Chilaquiles> I'm there Gnea
[08:53] <soreau> anastasis: Add aliases in .bashrc
[08:54] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: okay, I'd like you to open a terminal and then paste the output of this command to that site please:  cat /etc/fstab
[08:54] <Chilaquiles> ok
[08:54] <SkiLZ> histo, That rain thing is really lame and annoying..
[08:54] <histo> anastasis: if you did sorry Ididn't see it. I jus so your message
[08:54] <anastasis> ubuntu 10.10...trying to simply edit equivalent of bash_profile...my understanding is .profile in home... trying to addd simple alias creation on log in but the command i create doesnt work. I tried putting the .profile in my bin and its in PATH still no.. IM pretty N00b btw
[08:54] <histo> SkiLZ: yeap.  I remember googling wallpaper reflection or water back in the day and found something that would do it.
[08:55] <mac123> thanks for the wifi link but that won't fix it
[08:55] <Gnea> anastasis: for bash, it's .bash_profile
[08:55] <Chilaquiles> Gnea, http://paste.ubuntu.com/553084/
[08:55] <histo> anastasis: yeah you would have a .profile and .bashrc in yoru ~.
[08:55] <mac123> I've been searching the forum for the past few hours trying to get this to work and almost have it but not 100% there yet
[08:55] <soreau> anastasis: Put the alias in .bashrc then run source $HOME/.bashrc to make it active for that terminal
[08:55] <histo> anastasis: or .bash_profile
[08:55] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: as I figured, yes, you are using wubi
[08:55] <anastasis> thanks..will do ..ill let u knwo
[08:55] <sxid00> Atleast may I know, is there a possibility to get the data available in a splited archive, when we have only one splited archive, for example, zip.001 all other splited files are missing...?
[08:56] <ugmg> any one with sql server 2000 experience
[08:56] <Chilaquiles> ok Gnea, is there a solution then?
[08:56] <bouter> so nobody with groovy exp?
[08:56] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: thankfully, this question has been answered before: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How do I increase my swap space?
[08:56] <SkiLZ> histo, please help me Im trying to install enna media centre and I'm getting these errors: http://pastebin.com/ydCJd3zA
[08:56] <Gnea> ugmg: how is that Ubuntu related?
[08:56] <bouter> I can' t seem to find an active groovy channel
[08:56] <ugmg> >	hi,i have a brother study in medicine school and he brought to me and *.mdf backup database for sql server with a program after installing the sqlserver on local system and with windows and server authentication but i couldn't add the *.mdf file ,any know how to do it
[08:56] <soreau> anastasis: Actually in ~/.bash_aliases
[08:56] <histo> SkiLZ: I don't have a gui right now to check your link. It will be a few minutes before i'm in gui.
[08:56] <anastasis> ok
[08:56] <ugmg> gnea:>	hi,i have a brother study in medicine school and he brought to me and *.mdf backup database for sql server with a program after installing the sqlserver on local system and with windows and server authentication but i couldn't add the *.mdf file ,any know how to do it
[08:56] <Gnea> mac123: okay, perhaps you could provide us with some details of your system, or make a forum post and then just point us to the url
[08:57] <soreau> anastasis: Either should work, just source the file
[08:57] <Gnea> ugmg: we don't do windows here, you'll need to ask that in #windows
[08:57] <HugoGF> How can I install Java on here...?
[08:57] <HugoGF> On Ubuntu
[08:57] <Chilaquiles> it will be safe even if I have 1GB of RAM Gnea?
[08:57] <SkiLZ> Ok well can anyone please help me Im trying to install enna media centre and I'm getting these errors: http://pastebin.com/ydCJd3zA
[08:57] <ugmg> ok
[08:58] <mac123> so my wireless adapter will not show any wireless networks or connect to any manually entered ones
[08:58] <soreau> ! java | HugoGF
[08:58] <mac123> neither is the green light lit up
[08:58] <kibibyte> i have directory called repo: drwxrws---  13 csv    developers 4096 2011-01-11 16:13 repo    , the problem is im logged as user who belongs to group developers but i have permisson denied when i want to enter to directory why ?
[08:58] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: yes, just make a 2GB swap file and then swapon -a, like it says
[08:58] <Chilaquiles> Gnea, is not gonna make my system go slower?
[08:58] <Gnea> mac123: does it show up in lsusb or lspci?
[08:58] <sharif> How to restart from terminal ?
[08:58] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: not at all
[08:58] <Chilaquiles> Gnea, or any other disadvanage?
[08:59] <mac123> lsusb shows it
[08:59] <Gnea> mac123: what is it, exactly?
[08:59] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: it shouldn't be a problem - in fact, I need to do it, so I'll do it right now
[08:59] <mac123> Belkin F7D1101
[08:59] <HugoGF> ubottu: Thanks
[08:59] <mac123> followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815
[08:59] <HugoGF> ubottu: Hahaa.
[08:59] <Chilaquiles> Gnea, so then why ubuntu doesn't set it to 2GB by defaut?
[09:00] <Madpilot> sharif, restart the computer? "sudo shutdown -r now" works
[09:00] <Grav>  soreau: i know i can choose x settings there, but when i save and start Ubuntu it resets
[09:00] <mac123> that allowed it to show that I have a usb adapter and bring up the option in the little task bar but will not connect or light up
[09:00] <Madpilot> sharif, "-r" is "restart"
[09:00] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: some consider it a feature, not a bug
[09:01] <soreau> Grav: Could be a permissions issue. Try running this as your normal user: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME
[09:01] <soreau> Grav: Then reload the applet and resave the settings
[09:01] <Chilaquiles> so then it seems like a very simple task as suspend needs a lot of resources
[09:02] <mac123> any ideas?
[09:02] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: yup, so just make a new swapfile like it says to and it should work fine from there
[09:03] <Chilaquiles> ok i will follow the steps
[09:03] <Madpilot> Chilaquiles, suspend is moving your *entire session* to memory. Not actually "simple"...
[09:03] <soreau> indeed
[09:03] <soreau> Madpilot: From memory to disk*
[09:04] <Chilaquiles> Madpilot, so then if I ony have 1 window open then it shouldn't be a problem to suspend
[09:04] <Gnea> mac123: have you located it in the list of adapters that are known to work?
[09:04] <Madpilot> soreau, right.  Good point.
[09:04] <Madpilot> Chilaquiles, that depends on your system setup and much else.
[09:04] <Chilaquiles> ok
[09:05] <Chilaquiles> so Madpilot, you also recommend me to increase my swap¿
[09:05] <Chilaquiles> ?
[09:05] <soreau> Chilaquiles: Its almost like taking a snapshot or save state of your system. Your swap should be about the size of your system ram or larger
[09:05] <soreau> ! swap
[09:05] <Gnea> Madpilot: I suggested it since his swap is only 256M and he's got 1G of ram
[09:06] <Madpilot> Chilaquiles, equal or double your RAM is the usual recommendation.
[09:06] <Chilaquiles> ok thx
[09:06] <Gnea> figured 2G ought to be good enough
[09:06] <mac123> anyone able to help with a wifi adapter?
[09:06] <Madpilot> should be
[09:06] <soreau> mac123: Not if you dont ask
[09:06] <Gnea> mac123: please answer my question
[09:07] <mac123> thought I did im sorry
[09:07] <mac123> can you repeat?
[09:07] <ChrisDruif> Gnea: You
[09:07] <Gnea> 03:04 < Gnea> mac123: have you located it in the list of adapters that are known to work?
[09:07] <ChrisDruif> re talking swap is it?
[09:07] <Madpilot> I'm a lousy example, I don't currently even have a swap partition set up. But I never suspend (desktop, not laptop) and have 2GB of RAM, so it's not important
[09:07] <Gnea> ChrisDruif: what about it?
[09:07] <mac123> off of the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported#Wireless USB Adapters list?
[09:08] <ChrisDruif> I've got a hibernation problem, i.e. it just doesn't work at all...
[09:08] <Gnea> mac123: yes.
[09:08] <Gnea> ChrisDruif: laptop?
[09:08] <mac123> it's not on there
[09:08] <Chilaquiles> the dd if=/dev/zero of=swap.disk bs=1024 count=2097152 is taking long
[09:08] <ChrisDruif> Gnea: It's faster to shutdown and reboot, and yes laptop...
[09:08] <Chilaquiles> i wonder if thats normal
[09:08] <ChrisDruif> swap is big enough...
[09:08] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: yes, go make a pizza or something
[09:08] <mac123> but on the forums there are people who have gotten it to work.  Have spent the last few hours following those guides and have made some advances, but not completely working
[09:08] <anastasis> cool thanks...i found the .bashrc....why dont i have these other files in home... i can create i guess...just different versions different things??
[09:09] <Chilaquiles> i just want to go to bed
[09:09] <Chilaquiles> lol
[09:09] <Gnea> lol
[09:09] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: I'm making one right now, it is taking a long time... I blame ntfs
[09:09] <anastasis> soreau:cool thanks...i found the .bashrc....why dont i have these other files in home... i can create i guess...just different versions different things??
[09:09] <Chilaquiles> I should have done it tomorrow
[09:09] <soreau> anastasis: What do you mean?
[09:09] <Gnea> Chilaquiles: shouldn't take more than a few more minutes
[09:10] <anastasis> i dont have bash_profile or bash_aliases
[09:10] <Gnea> anastasis: you can create them
[09:10] <anastasis> right
[09:10] <Chilaquiles> I think I did it
[09:10] <Chilaquiles> it says 2GB in the System monitor
[09:11] <Chilaquiles> in the swap
[09:11] <soreau> anastasis: Look in .bashrc file. It checks to see if an _aliases file exists and if so, uses it
[09:11] <mac123> it refuses to scan for networks or connect to a manually entered one
[09:11] <soreau> mac123: What chipset is it?
[09:12] <Chilaquiles> so, its bad idea to make it more than 2GB in my case?
[09:12] <mac123> Belkin f7d1101
[09:12] <soreau> Chilaquiles: It would be a waste
[09:12] <anastasis> ah very cool. I will explore the code there further...Thanks
[09:12] <Chilaquiles> ok
[09:12] <soreau> mac123: Per lspci, not the market name
[09:12] <Chilaquiles> I just notice it that my memory usage went up by a quarter
[09:12] <Gnea> mac123: it sounds like it should work just fine, perhaps you're not using the correct firmware?
[09:13] <soreau> mac123: But I think belkin uses atheros mainly. Just find the line in the output of lspci and show it here
[09:13] <mac123> lspci or lsusb?
[09:13] <Gnea> soreau: well he did paste a link that outlines exactly how to get it working
[09:13] <soreau> mac123: Is it a usb device?
[09:13] <soreau> Gnea: Who what?
[09:13] <Gnea> soreau: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522815  and he has a usb
[09:14] <mac123> yes it's usb

[09:14] <OrangePeel> Will a burned Data DVD burned on GNOMEBREAKER work on a Mac OS or Windows OS ?
[09:14] <Gnea> !repeat | OrangePeel
[09:14] <soreau> mac123: Does iwconfig show a wifi interface?
[09:14] <OrangePeel> didn't mean too
[09:14] <Gnea> OrangePeel: why wouldn't it?
[09:14] <OrangePeel> Just wondering
[09:14] <OrangePeel> It should right?
[09:15] <Gnea> OrangePeel: yes
[09:15] <ChrisDruif> OrangePeel: If you want to know for sure; just try it :)
[09:15] <mac123> in terminal it returns:
[09:15] <OrangePeel> ok
[09:15] <Gnea> mac123: also, are you on 10.04 or 10.10?
[09:15] <OrangePeel> thans
[09:15] <mac123> 10.10
[09:15] <Gnea> ah
[09:15] <mac123> it has a bunch of specs on wlan0 but none on lo or eth0
[09:15] <Gnea> those instructions seem to work fine for 10.04 according to other posters
[09:16] <Gnea> mac123: sounds like it found it then
[09:16] <OvermindDL1> Greetings, Ubuntu 10.10 is using a built-in ancient version of Samba (3.5.4) which is incompatible with the new Win7 computers on my work network, when I try to remove smbclient so I can manually update to 3.5.6+ it tries to remove ubuntu-desktop, which is a bit undesirable.  What is the proper way to get Samba updated to a point where it actually works with other computers in Ubuntu 10.10?
[09:16] <mac123> it shoes up in the wireless icon in the task bar now but refuses to scan or join on manual input
[09:16] <Gnea> mac123: but as you mentioned, it's not actually attaining any of the ap adapters
[09:16] <OvermindDL1> It seems apt still has the most updated version at 3.5.4 for some reason?
[09:16] <mac123> it IMMEDIATELY says wireless disconneted and the status light does not come up
[09:16] <soreau> mac123: Now try sudo iw wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[09:17] <Gnea> mac123: open a terminal and type the following:  tail -f /var/log/syslog
[09:17] <Gnea> mac123: then try to connect again
[09:17] <soreau> mac123: Sorry, grep ssid not essid
[09:17] <mac123> trying gnea's first 1 sec

[09:21] <mac123> ok where do i go from here?
[09:21] <oCean> !manual | wolfpack this is a nice start
[09:21] <Gnea> Enissay: or did you mean the backport?
[09:22] <OvermindDL1> Hmm, it seems Ubuntu 11.04 has Samba 3.5.6, how can I pull that back into 10.10?
[09:22] <soreau> mac123: You fix it of course ;)
[09:22] <Enissay> Gnea, the backport
[09:22] <Gnea> !backport | Enissay

[09:22] <soreau> OvermindDL1: Perhaps a ppa
[09:22] <Ascavasaion> I know that windows can play audio CDs without an audio cable by doing it through the HDD, Lowering HDD performance.  Does Linux do the same?  My HDD light flickers when playing music.  I know it might just be the IDE activity light, but how do I know the hard disk is not grinding away uneccessarily?

[09:26] <histo> SkiLZ: what was the link for the error you were getting?
[09:26] <Gnea> speakman: are you trying to forward only lan traffic or all traffic out of the tap0?
[09:26] <RobotCow> linux, i had it working in the past. It was setup to relay the mail to my isp's smtp server
[09:26] <oCean> !postfix | linux

[09:27] <RobotCow> OvermindDL1, why dont you try it and see. if it doesn't, revert to your previous samba
[09:27] <SkiLZ> yea I think I did
[09:27] <SkiLZ> ages ago
[09:27] <OvermindDL1> How can I remove the old smbclient without apt trying to remove ubuntu-desktop too?
[09:27] <linux> please someone with experience and who is willing to help me send me a pm
[09:28] <RobotCow> OvermindDL1, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage
[09:28] <Gnea> speakman: well you'll need to use tap0 or tun0 to create a br0 with your eth0 or eth1
[09:28] <RobotCow> OvermindDL1, you will not lose any software if that is removed
[09:28] <user__> hello? i have a question, please?
