[17:04] <Dr_Willis> TheOriginalDude_:   run a file manager as the root user. (but thats not really a good idea)
[17:04] <Theoretician> TheOriginalDude_: why no terminal?
[17:04] <LePousson> thanks again everybody ... have a nice evening !!
[17:04] <BlessJah> patrykr: do you have external IP?
[17:04] <ruan> TheOriginalDude_: be sure to not mess anything up
[17:04] <patrykr> yes
[17:05] <pratheep> so ext.. file system has auto for that: ruan
[17:05] <redent> ubottu: what if you install and remove alot? defragging not needed?
[17:05] <pratheep> thk. for answer
[17:05] <patrykr> I can telnet, but cant ping the server
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> pratheep:  Not 'auto' its designed by default where its never an issue..
 I like to see visualy what the heck i'm doing
[17:05] <ruan> pratheep: it doesn't auto defrag, but it prevents the need for defragging
[17:05] <ruan> pratheep: ntfs isn't designed like ext
[17:05] <Theoretician> TheOriginalDude_: ah, that makes sense. It would be easier to do with the terminal though
[17:06] <pratheep> So Good on ubuntu because i'm new to use ubuntu but when i first test i love it so much..
[17:07] <benzaldehyde> pratheep: that is cool
 thanks
[17:07] <JGJones> Does the SIP on Empathy does video?
[17:07] <JGJones> and what codecs?
[17:07] <pratheep> who tell me xp better .... i'm not belive...
[17:07] <pratheep> because ntsf> defrag..  ext. > not defrag
[17:08] <benzaldehyde> pratheep: under the hood we all bleed 0's and 1's
[17:08]  * Dr_Willis uses trinary
[17:08] <ruan> lol
[17:09] <pratheep> thk : benzaldehyde : but in my head had 0,0,0,0,0 No anything More.. LOL  ;->
[17:09] <Shogoot> Maybe a long shot asking here,but...  Is there any way to make a nice document out of forum posts? like i have this thread that is very intrestingand looong and it burns my eyes reading on a screen all day, would be wonderfull to get it on papaer.  Any suggestions?
[17:09] <sipior> Shogoot: have a look at Instapaper.
[17:09] <ruan> Dr_Willis: 2011200 2101000 2010102 2012202
[17:09] <Shogoot> sipior, i will
[17:10] <Theoretician> Shogoot: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=325
[17:10] <naomi_> What program do I use Krfb with? Terminal server client?
[17:10] <Theoretician> Shogoot: Its the forum archive, it has threads that are anranged nicely
[17:11] <joeoshawa> where can i get help with dvdstyler i am using ubuntu 10.10 and i keep getting a header error
[17:11] <benzaldehyde> Shogoot: I make little books, booklet printing
[17:11] <joeoshawa> seems to be related to subtitles
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> ruan:  -1 0 and +1 :P
[17:11] <benzaldehyde> Shogoot: if you do too many, you can't get a staple through all the paper
[17:12] <Shogoot> benzaldehyde, what you mean?
[17:12] <benzaldehyde> Shogoot: well there are different ways to approach eye strain
[17:12] <benzaldehyde> Shogoot: you could convert the html to pdf and use a sony reader or kindle
[17:13] <benzaldehyde> Shogoot: the backlighting is like that of a newspaper, less intense compared to LCD
[17:14] <naomi_> Krfb says I can use any vnc client to run it.. I have no idea what that is or what would be a good one to use?
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> naomi_:  what OS are you using to connect?
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> naomi_:  thers dozens of vnc clients out there.
[17:15] <Shogoot> benzaldehyde, i see what you mean, but how to get a clean html of a forum?
[17:15] <maco> naomi_: i use krdc
[17:16] <naomi_> I'm on ubuntu and my friend is on windows. I just want him to be able to access my desktop, like teamviewer kinda. but i have no idea what i need to install or what he needs to have as well.
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> naomi_:  teamviewer exists for linux.
[17:16] <naomi_> it does?
[17:16] <benzaldehyde> Shogoot: print to pdf my man
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> naomi_:  err... yes... check its homepage
[17:17] <Shogoot> benzaldehyde, im going to se if the forum has that opetion :)
[17:17] <naomi_> and will it matter that he's on windows and im on linux?
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> naomi_:  no.. check its homepage.. :)
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> theres even a version for android now i see..
[17:18] <benzaldehyde> Shogoot: print to PDF is a device emulation thing
[17:18] <kz3> from where can i get a c++ compiler for codeblocks?
[17:19] <naomi_> Kay just did. I need to get the linux_x64.deb I have no idea what im doing with downloading stuff.. can i do it in terminal?
[17:19] <naomi_> like say sudo apt-get install teamviewer?
[17:19] <maco> naomi_: click the download link on the website, i would think...
[17:19] <maco> naomi_: and then double click the .deb
[17:20] <naomi_> yeah but  can i not do it in terminal?
[17:20] <Odaym> im trying to follow the instructions in this link, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673833
[17:20] <Odaym> in hopes of having a battery that will last longer than 4 minutes
[17:20] <maco> naomi_: if you wanted to you could... youd right click the download link, copy link location, then "wget <paste the url here>"
[17:20] <benzaldehyde> naomi_: a .deb file you could also use wget http...yadayada.deb
[17:20] <Odaym> but /boot/grub/menu.lst produces an empty file here
[17:20] <Odaym> where is the menu.lst on Meerkat?
[17:21] <vish> naomi_: if you want to install from terminal then use $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[17:21] <maco> Odaym: probably not there at all
[17:21] <jrib> !grub2 | Odaym
[17:21] <maco> Odaym: unless this is a system thats been upgraded a bunch, it'll be running grub 2, which means it uses /etc/default/grub followed by the "sudo update-grub" command
[17:23] <benzaldehyde> speaking of GRUB where can i find kboot, i want to edit it so that it doesn't ask me what to do and just boots into Ubuntu
[17:23] <naomi_> My windows is 64 bit.. does that mean the linux i'm using is 64 bit too? I have them partitioned.
[17:24] <vish> naomi_: not necessarily, what did you do while installing Ubuntu? 32/64bit?
[17:24] <benzaldehyde> naomi: that is good, unix has time bug that affects 32bit processors more than 64
[17:24] <Pici> benzaldehyde: and what bug is that?
[17:25] <benzaldehyde> 2032?
[17:25] <Darkstar_> any version of ubuntu that works decently on a dell vostro 3700?
[17:25] <atpa8a> hmm
[17:25] <atpa8a> my box won't reboot and hangin on "* Will now restart"
[17:26] <naomi_> Umm I installed it off a cd. Wubi I think? I can't remember really it was months ago.
[17:26] <sipior> benzaldehyde: 2038.
[17:26] <Pici> benzaldehyde: I don't think the y2k38 issue is really worth mentioning
[17:26] <Theoretician> atpa8a: Maybe try a force shut down w/ the power button
[17:26] <systemf1> 中文的如何进入？
[17:26] <sipior> benzaldehyde: if you're running a 32-bit linux in 2038, i guess you have other problems as well.
[17:26] <vish> naomi_: what is the output of $ uname -a
[17:26] <vish> ?
[17:26] <atpa8a> Theoretician: that'll work but it "systematically" doesn't reboot altho not all the time
[17:27] <damian> I think in 2038 you'll be running a 128bit OS :)
[17:27] <vish> !cn | systemf1
[17:27] <naomi_> vish: Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[17:27] <naomi_> so 64 bit?
[17:27] <Theoretician> atpa8a: I ran into that issue when I didn't unmount drives before rebooting
[17:27] <damian> naomi_ yes
[17:27] <systemf1> ubottu, 谢谢
[17:27] <Pici> naomi_: Yes
[17:27] <vish> naomi_: yup, you installed the 64bit version
[17:27] <naomi_> sweet.
[17:27] <Theoretician> atpa8a: were your drives unmounted?
[17:28] <Theoretician> atpa8a: Also maybe update GRUB?
[17:28] <benzaldehyde> sipior: i would expect 32bit to be as prevlant now is it will be then
[17:29] <sipior> benzaldehyde: uh huh.
[17:29] <mehwork> anyone know why when i clean my google chrome cache and restart the browser, stuff is STILL cached?
[17:29] <jabberwocky> Hi
[17:29] <tjiggi_fo> !lt | systemf1
[17:29] <atpa8a> Theoretician: not manually but there're messages 'Stopping early/remaining crypto disks...'
[17:30] <jorn> heyho, i need some advice on this one: i have 4 * 2 TB HDs which i want to bundle together into a volume which is 8 TB and crypted with LUKS. shall i bundle before crypting or crypt before bundling? (my concern is practicability, speed and recoverability (so what happens if one of the drives fails)). Any thoughts on this one?
[17:30] <benzaldehyde> sipior: i have an amiga commodore64
[17:30] <bob__> is this the weekly meeting starred on the fridge?
[17:30] <sipior> benzaldehyde: wow, really interesting.
[17:30] <Theoretician> atpa8a: Is your hard drive encrypted?
[17:30] <Spezi> so, i read reinstalling ubuntu preserving your /home directory on a separate partition works fine. shouldn't be an issue to switch from kubuntu to ubuntu by reinstalling while preserving /home right?
[17:31] <induz> hello, at startup this time i got a message' your disply is running on low graphic ' why is this
[17:31] <atpa8a> Theoretician: no, lvm over md
[17:31] <Spezi> (maybe i'll move the .-settings-directorys somewhere else to minimize problems?)
[17:31] <induz> how can i fix dispaly setting as i dont have any video card
[17:31] <Pici> Spezi: You don't even need to reinstall if you want to check out Kubuntu. Just install its package: kubuntu-desktop
[17:31] <nehi> i'm giving up installing firefox 4, i tried so called ppa, but the icon was not that it ws usd to b. and the tar.bz2; i cldnt compile it
[17:31] <damian> Spezi:  just apt-get the ubuntu-desktop package
[17:32] <Theoretician> atpa8a: I'm guessing that your drives are not unmounting. Instead of reboot, try shutdown and restart manually
[17:32] <Spezi> Pici: i read about that, but there are some other issues i'd like to solve by doing a clean reinstall
[17:32] <Pici> Spezi: or ubuntu-desktop, if I read that wrong.
[17:32] <Pici> Spezi: Then your install be an issue with a separate /home/ parition
[17:32] <atpa8a> hmm
[17:32] <atpa8a> ok
[17:32] <atpa8a> thanks
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> Spezi:  you can just install both. on the same install and pickl what to use at the login screen. thats what i always do.
[17:33] <Theoretician> Is there an implementation of fluxbox for ubuntu?
[17:33] <atpa8a> Theoretician: if you know?.. could insserv be at fault? i messed with it and it "screwed up" rcN.d symlinks
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> Spezi:  if you are shareing home between differnt ubuntu disrots/installs. be sure to add the users in the same order. or else you might get into some issues.
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> Theoretician:  its in teh repos.
[17:34] <Theoretician> atpa8a: Not a clue. That doesn't sound promising though...
[17:34] <nehi> can anyone help me installing fx4, an easy way that noob can understand?
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Theoretician:  dozen of window maangers out there for ubuntu.
[17:34] <atpa8a> altho Theoretically, the order was preserved
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> nehi:  whats fx4?
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> !info fx4
[17:34] <Theoretician> Dr_Willis: ok, thats sad
[17:34] <nehi> firefox
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Theoretician:  whats sad? that it exists?
[17:34] <Theoretician> Dr_Willis: no that it doesn't
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> nehi:  theres ppa's
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Theoretician:  its right there in the repos.. im not sure what you are talking about.
[17:35] <nehi> i'm giving up installing firefox 4, i tried so called ppa, but the icon was not that it ws usd to b. and the tar.bz2; i cldnt compile it
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> !info fluxbox
[17:35] <Spezi> Dr_Willis: i'm not planning to share it, i just want to replace kubuntu with ubuntu and keep that old /home partition in use. also i only have one user set up
[17:35] <sipior> !ff4 > nehi
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> Spezi: be faster to just install the kubuntu-desktop package.
[17:35] <Theoretician> Dr_Willis: oh, sorry, i misread, I thought you said it was in the ropes. heh. Thanks!
[17:35] <nehi> Dr_Willis: i'm giving up installing firefox 4, i tried so called ppa, but the icon was not that it ws usd to b. and the tar.bz2; i cldnt compile it
[17:35] <Theoretician> atpa8a: try finding a complete untouched version and comparing the two
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> nehi:  i installed it from ppa just the other day - worked fine.
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> nehi:  a PPA would not give out a tar.gz.. it would use a .deb
[17:36] <Theoretician> Dr_Willis: can I just $ sudo apt-get install fluxbox ?
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> http://www.linuxnov.com/install-mozilla-firefox-4-on-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-ppa/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Linuxnov+%28LinuxNov%29
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> Theoretician:  yes. its in the repos.. same as you would install anyother app.
[17:36] <Theoretician> Dr_Willis: thanks
[17:37] <nehi> Dr_Willis: i see. thats wt i tried bt i didnt like it, im gonna wait till the stable one comes out
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Hmm this was the stable repo i used.  that may not been the same url as i used.
[17:37] <Spezi> Dr_Willis: yeah, i could do that, but i was planning to do a clean reinstall for some time now (been updating since 8.04 and carrying around quite a load of useless packages etc), and i thought i'd just combine that with switching to ubuntu
[17:37] <nehi> sipior: thanks a lot
[17:37] <okuth0r> is anyone here?
[17:37] <ruan> okuth0r: yes
[17:38] <Theoretician> Dr_Willis: how do I switch between them?
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> Theoretician:  at the login screen theres a menu once you enter your users name
[17:38] <sipior> nehi: you can always just grab the tarball from the firefox web site, if the ppa doesn't cut it for you.
[17:38] <Theoretician> ok
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> Im on 11.04 right now. so im not even sure  what FF4 im using. :)
[17:39] <nehi> sipior: but i couldn't compile it
[17:39] <nehi> sipior: but i couldn't compile it
[17:39] <nehi> sipior: im a noob
[17:39] <sipior> nehi: what's to compile? they distribute a binary tarball.
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> nehi:  they have precompiled binary tar.gzs
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu natty main  is what i seem to be using.
[17:39] <nehi> sipior: im a noo
[17:40] <nehi> sipior: so you say that i can install it like a deb? just as i install Chrome?
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> nehi:   debs exist for FF4 yes.
[17:40] <naomi_> The teamviewer thing won't work. I can control his desktop but when he switches and tries to get on my desktop it goes black for him. Any idea why?
[17:40] <sipior> nehi: no, but you can unpack the tarball, and run the binary inside.
[17:41] <aukkan> hello
[17:41] <aukkan> i m chile
[17:41] <nehi> sipior: ok thanks
[17:41] <aukkan> i m chiliean jajja no chile

[17:44] <Pici> benzaldehyde: Please don't do that.
[17:44] <nehi> Dr_Willis: the link that you sent me to; i dont know wt 2 do with it
[17:44] <okuth0r> is there someone here who can help with a install?
[17:44] <benzaldehyde> Pici: he was already gone
[17:45] <kz3> In Code::Blocks as soon as I run the program it says "Permission Denied" in the output window, what to do?
[17:45] <benzaldehyde> okuth0r: whatcha installing today brudda
[17:46] <ruan> kz3: run it as sudo
[17:46] <kz3> how?
[17:46] <ruan> kz3: what is this program?
[17:47] <Pici> Theres no reason to run an IDE using sudo.
[17:47] <kz3> its just a small program, printing "hello world"
[17:47] <ruan> ah.
[17:47] <ruan> sounds like its not coded right
[17:47] <kz3> #include <iostream.h>
[17:47] <kz3> int main(void)
[17:47] <kz3> {
[17:47] <kz3>     cout << "Hello World";
[17:47] <kz3>     return 0;
[17:47] <FloodBot3> kz3: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:47] <kz3> }
[17:47] <sipior> oh no, you didn't.
[17:47] <ruan> lol
[17:47] <iostream> what.
[17:48] <Pici> kz3: Please use a pastebin as FloodBot3 suggested.
[17:48] <sipior> iostream: thanks for the chuckle :-)
[17:48] <iostream> o:
[17:48] <kz3> #include <iostream.h> int main(void){   cout << "Hello World";   return 0;}
[17:48] <iostream> you're welcome
[17:48] <kz3> now i think its okay
[17:48] <kz3> is it coded right?
[17:48] <nehi> Dr_Willis: the link that you sent me to; i dont know wt 2 do with it
[17:48] <ruan> kz3: try it and see
[17:49] <ruan> a hello world program can't crash your pc or format the drive
[17:49] <kz3> I tried it but in the output window it says "Permission Denied"
[17:49] <benzaldehyde> ruan: you see ruan kz3 is running pastebin out of business
[17:50] <themysteriousx> kz3: is the executable... executable?
 no
[17:50] <ruan> kz3: yeah, is it executable?
[17:50] <themysteriousx> and/or is the filesystem it is mounted on marked noexec?
[17:50] <nehi> i see an icon in the upper pannel called itself desktop search. i havn't installed it, is that ok?
[17:50] <kz3> themysteriousx no
[17:50] <ruan> kz3: make it executable
[17:51] <ruan> kz3: chmod +x yourfile
[17:51] <kz3> how to make it executable?
[17:51] <LordOllie> kz3: you have to compile it
[17:51] <kz3> okay
[17:51] <kz3> let me try
[17:51] <nehi> i see an icon in the upper pannel called itself desktop search. i havn't installed it, is that ok? is it a legit?
[17:52] <aeon-ltd> nehi: define 'legit'?

[18:05] <benzaldehyde> nehi: there's two icons next to your dropbox
[18:05] <MaterMorbi> so... can someone help me?
[18:05] <ayecee> whiteside: what happens when you try?
[18:05] <aeon-ltd> nehi: yeah, never seen it before. the old ubuntu search bar use to be a text box and icon, i'd just right click on it get any info and then google around
[18:06] <nehi> benzaldehyde: sorry, the one with circles
[18:06] <whiteside> nothing..it just wont connect
[18:06] <whiteside> but i see every network
[18:06] <nehi> aeon-ltd: i'd do it
[18:06] <nehi> ok
[18:06] <MaterMorbi> everytime my notebook screen turns off and i turn it on again there's is a loose of colors, how can i solve this?
[18:06] <allto> patrykr: hmm, what it says?
[18:07] <benzaldehyde> nehi: i don't understand why you want me to see that
[18:07] <ayecee> MaterMorbi: that sounds like a difficult problem to solve.
[18:07] <patrykr> maybe iptables-save?
[18:07] <ayecee> whiteside: what kind of wireless key?
[18:07] <nehi> benzaldehyde: it says that its a desktop search thingy
[18:07] <allto> patrykr: iptables-save > /etc/iptables.save
[18:07] <whiteside> linksys LLC-dualband
[18:07] <nehi> benzaldehyde: i wanted to be sure if thats not a malware
[18:07] <benzaldehyde> fidyduce: MBR is a pain, dual boot is a pain, if you do it i would suggest installing windows last
[18:08] <ayecee> whiteside: what is the usb id? you can see this using lsusb
[18:08] <MaterMorbi> i know that this happened to another guy too... here's the unanswered topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705924
[18:08] <whiteside> i have all linux-firmware install
[18:08] <allto> patrykr: iptables-save > /etc/iptables.save; after that you can restore saved settings with iptables-restore
[18:08] <ayecee> whiteside: it is in the form of xxxx:xxxx
[18:08] <MaterMorbi> i've got also the same configuration
[18:08] <patrykr> in etc dir I have only: iptables.up.rules
[18:08] <whiteside> yes...i see only linksys
[18:08] <whiteside> wait
[18:09] <benzaldehyde> nehi: it looks like a molecular model
[18:09] <fidyduce> benzaldehyde: thanks but i was not attempting to dual boot, total solo boot for ubuntu on a newer SSD HDD, however the error occurred when when i switched back to my old hdd that had nothing done to it... it is like the mother board had the MBR or in this case the grub on it...

[18:10] <ZieLonKa> Hi guys! Ive got a little question: How large should my swap partition be? I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop beside my Win7 installation. The HDD I want to use for Ubuntu is 250G large and I want to use the whole disk for it.
[18:10] <allto> patrykr: after that you 'll see your saved rules
[18:10] <benzaldehyde> fidyduce: you don't have to install grub there though
[18:11] <tjkent> ZieLonKa: doesn't need to be much bigger than 512mb but can be as big as you want
[18:11] <sipior> ZieLonKa: will you be suspending this system, and how much ram do you have currently?
[18:11] <patrykr> ok, but after reboor I'll need to restore it? Or it be saved now?
[18:11] <benzaldehyde> fidyduce: a gparted adventure might be in order
[18:11] <tjkent> hey I am thinking that ureadahead is not working can anyone help me?
[18:11] <allto> patrykr: you can restore saved settings with iptables-restore
[18:12] <ZieLonKa> tjkent: Ive got 8GB ram, and if it does make sense, i will use a 8GB swap, but if its not, i obviously dont want to make it that big
[18:12] <ruan> sipior: you mean hibernate?
[18:12] <evol> Hello there I'm running the latest ubuntu release and i install firefox 4 through the rep after i added it. However when i click the firefox link through the applications the firefox 3.6 comes up instead so im guessing its because of the  symbolic link which i tried to change but didn't work. Can someone help me do it? When i type firefox-4.0 its launched properly
[18:13] <sipior> ruan: suspend is what i meant.
[18:13] <oCean> !ufw | patrykr
[18:13] <tjkent> ZieLonKa: 8gb is wayyyy overkill

[18:13] <allto> patrykr: write "allto:" at the beginning of your message, that will highlight your message for me
[18:13] <tjkent> mine is set right now at 1gb
[18:13] <fidyduce> benzaldehyde: man i am sorry to have bothered you turns out the person i was helping is an idiot and wiping the two hdd's i was working with...
[18:13] <patrykr> ok
[18:13] <ZieLonKa> tjkent: thats what ive thought and joined here to ask the professionals ;)
[18:13] <evol> kichimi, try xchat and bitchx
[18:13] <patrykr> allto: ok
[18:13] <ayecee> whiteside: bad news. I see people with problems similar to yours, but no particular resolutions. I'd suggest installing the backports wireless package, maybe a newer version of the driver will help. Instructions to follow:
[18:13] <nehi> aeon-ltd: "An applet to hold all of the system indicators"
[18:14] <fidyduce> benzaldehyde: thanks for your help homie disregard my moronic questions...
[18:14] <benzaldehyde> fidyduce: it's never a bother
[18:14] <tjkent> you really don't need that much though
[18:14] <evol> Kicchiri, try xchat and bitchx
[18:14] <Kicchiri> evol: bitchx hasn't been updated for a while, is that unnecessary or is there a branch?
[18:14] <ruan> !bitchx
[18:14] <tjkent> and honestly hibernate has been known to have some problems anyway your best bet is to just use suspend
[18:14] <tjkent> hey I am thinking that ureadahead is not working can anyone help me?
[18:14] <aeon-ltd> nehi: then yeah.. legit i guess, but really though how would you know any software is legit?
[18:14] <fidyduce> benzaldehyde: there is a saying i like "there are no stupid questions, but there sure a lot of inquisitive idiots."
[18:14] <evol> ruan, can you help me? :)
[18:14] <patrykr> allto: thx for help
[18:14] <ZieLonKa> tjkent: so with 8gig ram how much am i supposed to spend for the swap part?
[18:15] <ayecee> whiteside: could you paste the output of uname -a ?

[18:15] <tjkent> I would go with 1gb
[18:15] <ZieLonKa> none?

[18:16] <nehi> aeon-ltd: it suddenly appeard and i think if its going to be there always i'd remove it
[18:16] <Kicchiri> Baybe that's non-geekish, but I'd prefer a client with a GUI, usually proves more efficient for me
[18:17] <fidyduce> benzaldehyde: :)
[18:17] <ruan> evol: then drag it to panel

[18:19] <nehi> aeon-ltd: thanks
[18:19] <whiteside> ayecee,
[18:19] <ayecee> whiteside: in any case, do an "apt-get search linux-backports-modules-wireless", find the package name that matches your kernel, and install that.
[18:19] <BajK> hey, how do I run a script that I just entered to the console? for example, I enter php to the console then an input prompt for php code appears, but how do I run it then? pressing enter just results in new lines, ctrl-C or Z cancels..
[18:19] <okuth0r> Need help, installing on old working windows system, has SLI, menu comes up but install or run causes reset/reboot and monitor goes blank like no video
[18:20] <whiteside> ok
[18:20] <ayecee> whiteside: that may or may not fix the problem, but at least it's worth a try.

[18:22] <ayecee> undercontrol: there's no easy way to change that. Either the process would have to be setuid root (which is bad), or have cap_net_admin or something like that.
[18:22] <patrykr> allto: yes
[18:22] <whiteside> ayecee,  haaaaa
[18:22] <whiteside> lol   thx ill try that

[18:24] <ruan> undercontrol: what is this reason? does it give an error?
[18:24] <okuth0r> can i still put the alternative to USB?

[18:25] <JamesMR> Hi, I've been having some problems with hardware accelleration (I assume) When my install was fresheverything ran smoothly with compositing turned on, however after restarting it was all painfully slow. Is this a common problem? and is there anything that can be done about it? - I've got compositing turned off at the moment running 10.10
[18:25] <alemilan> I newmode and  addmode correctly but when I try to apply the resolution I get an error saying something about not being able to apply the resolution to CRTC 119.. whatever that means
[18:25] <ruan> galamar: i'm not completely sure about that but you can make a bash script to do wget on 1-3000
[18:26] <sipior> galamar: close! try {1..3000}
[18:26] <sipior> galamar: for fancier intervals, consider installing "jot"
[18:27] <whiteside> ayecee, they were not install.....thx....il see if it work and ill be right back
[18:27] <Slyboots_> Hi; Anyone know hwo you get wget to "save" files with the correct filename.  If I download a file from say http://fake.com/download?12345 , wget saves it as download?12345 instead of its "actual" anem, say Filename.zip
[18:27] <naomi_> shaun's penis i lik
[18:27] <galamar> that appears to have worked thanks sipior
[18:27] <Slyboots_> Its pretty annoying to have to constantly rename files..
[18:28] <aeon-ltd> Slyboots_: man wget , there may be some way to define the name
[18:29] <Slyboots_> Yea I read the man page.. if its there Im not seeing it

[18:30] <professor_> como é que voce  vai ai no seu terminal
[18:30] <ayecee> undercontrol: okay, what would you like me to do about that?
[18:30] <undercontrol> do u know where is the file where i can change that ?
[18:30] <TBotNik> undercontrol: Do you have the repository for it?
[18:30] <ayecee> undercontrol: it would be part of the kernel source.
[18:31] <terry> Slyboots_: I've not seen such a problem.   You example shows filenames download?12345 & download?12345  I do not see the difference.
[18:31] <ayecee> undercontrol: so, changing that would require compiling and installing a new kernel. That's why I say there's no easy way to change that.
[18:31] <TBotNik> undercontrol: Ditto ayecee
[18:31] <terry> Slyboots_: wget by default does not change file name.
[18:32] <TBotNik> undercontrol: Did you update your packages?
[18:32] <undercontrol> TBotNik: yes

[18:35] <ayecee> TBotNik: it would be hard to say without seeing the error message he gets when he tries to install

[18:40] <maco> !resolution | pnorman
[18:41] <terry> WeThePeople: But  you should be able to use the GUI method.  What type of drive is it?

[18:47] <Squarism> hi, im a newbie of sorts running linux on the desktop, and more specifically on a dell laptop. My impression after 8 months of use is that ubuntu/linux works so so as a desktop operating system. On the hardware side, support is lacking / or crippled for graphics and controller devices. When it comes to graphics it does seem to have very basic multimonitor/ dock-undock support. You that have been in the game for a while - have things
[18:47] <Squarism> been moving forward the last 4 years or is ths something you should get used to?
[18:48] <naomi_> What torrent client should I use for films and stuff, Ktorrent?
[18:48] <ruan> !torrent
[18:48] <aeon-ltd> Squarism: things have been moving since nvidia and amd/ati released open source drivers
[18:48] <Squarism> ...and as linux is a best of breads mix of alot of 3rd party componenets.. its all quite inconsistent
[18:48] <llutz> aeon-ltd: where is nvidias open-source driver?
[18:48] <aeon-ltd> Squarism: but thats because its written by guys as hobbies, almost no one is paid/funded to produce drivers for a free OS
[18:49] <aryan2> ruan: I am connecting this with a cable to my machine's USB port .
[18:49] <aeon-ltd> llutz: my bad, ok nvidia's developed proprietry driver and amd/ati's open source dirver
[18:49] <aryan2> I believe there might be some connector for linux as well as in windows case we use nokia PC suit for this purpose
[18:49] <Squarism> aeon-ltd, i guess so.. just wonder if there is some initiative to make linux more coherent.. how apps / utils work together.... like DDE for windows
[18:50] <terry> Squarism: This is OT but it's been moving foward at very fast pace.  Great strides have and are being made on all fronts.

[18:55] <terry> WeThePeople: mount   #First let's make sure it's not already mounted somewhere.  See it there in the output of mount?
[18:55] <uno> buenas tardes a tod@s
[18:55] <naomi_> Oh so Isohunt would work?

[18:57] <streblo> anyone use ack?
[18:57] <Vinconzo> Anyone here with an (AMD) Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13/14?

[18:57] <terry> WeThePeople: mount | pastebinit  #And send resulting URL
[18:57] <professor_> eu fui  mais ou menos
[18:58] <rambo> poderia ser melhor não acha
[18:58] <professor_> sim
[18:58] <Vinconzo> I've been googling since 11PM now (it's now 5:58 GMT+1)
[18:58] <oliver3> Anyone know where I put complaints in for the Ubuntu One Music Store? It took 3 DAYS, for Rhythmbox to transfer my music from my Ubuntu One account to my PC. I downloaded them manually through the Ubuntu One web interface before that, and half of them were incomplete! 3 DAYS to transfer from 7Digital to Ubuntu One...
[18:58] <zvacet> !es | rambo
[18:58] <rambo> por que não foi!!!!
[18:59] <terry> Vinconzo: lspci | pastebinit  #And send resulting URL
[18:59] <WeThePeople> terry, all i heard was the HDD click, and the 118 F.S. has disappeared from the Places dropdown menu
[18:59] <professor_> eu não sei
[18:59] <terry> WeThePeople: Was it already mounted?
[19:00] <Vinconzo> terry: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/587459/
[19:00] <WeThePeople> terry, when i click on the 118 F.S. an 'error' came up ' not authorized'
[19:00] <terry> WeThePeople: mount | pastebinit  #And send resulting URL
[19:00] <Vinconzo> I know it's probably the broadcom
[19:00] <tjiggi_fo> rambo, #ubuntu-br
[19:00] <Vinconzo> i've tried several downloaded broadcom drivers
[19:01] <Vinconzo> but none of them work
[19:01] <ruan> !broadcom
[19:01] <delinquentme> so i have a page with 2 forms on it:   1) create new account and 2) login to existing account  ... there is a submit button corresponding to each. How do i ensure that when the user clicks one and submits it, that only that form is being processed.. and not the other
[19:01] <terry> !broadcom | Vinconzo
[19:02] <terry> Vinconzo: I would suggest a different wireless card.
[19:02] <terry> Vinconzo: Buy another one and sell yours to a MS Windows user.  (Via ebay.)
[19:02] <WeThePeople> terry, http://pastebin.com/yauvWVT8
[19:03] <terry> WeThePeople: ls /mnt

[19:10] <Zulo> i try with grep, but i get line, i want only 3 or 4 words always in the same position
[19:10] <llutz> Zulo: use awk

[19:11] <Zulo> llutz: ill read the help for awk, thanks
[19:13] <ruan> WeThePeople: umount
[19:13] <Zulo> llutz: with that program i can read txt file in a determined position?
[19:14] <Zulo> for ex: ln 43, col 345
[19:14] <dajhorn> SodtCoder: Look at the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and find the "set root=(hd0,1)" line, or something that looks like it.
[19:14] <panike> acalbaza: 'git log --oneline --diff-filter=AM --until=<latest date> --since=<earliest date> --all' might work, off the top of my head.  Completely untested
[19:14] <panike> sorry wrong channel
[19:14] <meteor> hi all
[19:15] <l_r> have you ever tried to build and  run a whole ubuntu os in ram?
[19:16] <ruan> l_r: why do that? ram resets on restart
[19:16] <l_r> ruan, i rarely restart my pc
[19:16] <jiltdil> ranjan:u der?
[19:16] <WeThePeople> terry, ok so i typed 'sudo umount /dev/sdb2/ /mnt' and now the 118GB F.S. shows in the Places dropdown menu. is it mnted right now?
[19:16] <meteor> i tried setting up multiseat on ubuntu 10.10, although i could not do that with a dual Head graphic card but during the process the sound disappeared.. What do i need to do to fix the Audio please
[19:16] <ruan> l_r: yes, but for kernel updates?
[19:17] <l_r> ruan, my kernel is stable, no need to update
[19:17] <dajhorn> Zulo: Most of the sensible-editors recognize the +[num] parameter.    eg:   vim +43
[19:17] <terry> WeThePeople: Yes
[19:17] <ruan> l_r: ok, but kernels improve stability
[19:18] <_marix> anyone happen to know if there should be any problem typing special chars (alt+xxxx) over a rdp connection using rdesktop and the default window manager of 10.10
[19:19] <meteor> i used these http://pastebin.com/sdLKy06Y commands during multiseat setup , how can i undo these commands?
[19:19] <xaflax> hi all
[19:19] <Kicchiri> Newbie here, unable to use non-wireless network device... how do I turn it on? It says "wired network: disconnected" o.o
[19:19] <Jerkman> hi, what is the best channel for VPN advice?
[19:19] <axisys> is there a gui version of vncviewer client? would be nice if I could add it in the application -> internet or someother menu... currently I open a terminal and call xtightvncviewer
[19:19] <bitch_> aha
[19:19] <jiltdil> axisys:NX perhabs
[19:20] <axisys> jiltdil: so I need to install nx server on the infront of vnc server as well ?
[19:20] <thevishy> if I do sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop ( my idea being just install it from start ...)  would the packages have to be downloaded again from the internet ?
[19:20] <WeThePeople> terry, for some reason when i click on the 118GB F.S. i get a error ' not authorized'
[19:20] <terry> WeThePeople: ls /mnt | pastebinit
[19:20] <jiltdil> axisys; yes go to download page of it and download for linux
[19:21] <dajhorn> metoikos:  Change "hold" to "install".
[19:21] <terry> WeThePeople: ls /mnt | pastebinit  #And send resulting URL
[19:21] <WeThePeople> terry, and i can access the F.S. on my other Linux part.
[19:21] <dajhorn> meteor:  Change "hold" to "install".  (Sorry metoikos)
[19:21] <eddie> hi
[19:21] <jiltdil> axisys: http://www.nomachine.com/  this is the web
[19:21] <WeThePeople> terry, is that the whole command you want me to use?
[19:21] <WeThePeople> terry. ls /mnt
[19:21] <metoikos> np
[19:22] <thevishy> hello all
[19:22] <thevishy> if I do sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop ( my idea being just install it from start ...)  would the packages have to be downloaded again from the internet ?
[19:22] <sre-su> I'm in recovery mode now using irssi. Whenever I try to login to a user account normally, I see the mouse icon changing to X and then it attempts to login to desktop but returns back. I tried switching to tty and did <startx> and found the error - http://pastebin.com/r3nSQ3f4. I did <sudo restart kdm> but it turns back to same behaviour. Later I removed .Xauthority as suggested in error after killing Xorg process, but it will regerating back that I've to
[19:22] <axisys> jiltdil: wait.. i just found out applications -> internet -> terminal server client .. let me give that a try
[19:22] <ruan> thevishy: if they haven't been downloaded before, then yes
[19:23] <ruan> thevishy: if they have been downloaded and removed, not doing an apt-get clean, then no
[19:23] <yofel> thevishy:  'ubuntu-desktop' is just a meta package which installs other packages, removing it won't remove anything else. And for the packages, unless they are in /var/cache/apt/archives they will have to be downloaded
[19:23] <thevishy> I have downloaded them ofcourse ruan \
[19:23] <terry> WeThePeople: Yes.  Let us also see what mount says:  mount | pastebinit  #And send resulting URL.
[19:23] <Kicchiri> Can anyone help a newcomer with the LAN connection? I have a DHCP, I can use a fallback wireless network to get drivers, what should I do to get wired network running?
[19:24] <thevishy> So removing ubuntu-desktop removes all the packages in that no ?
[19:24] <_marix> thevishy: ls -al /var/cache/apt/archives/ if they arent there, and mathes latest versions, then redownload will occur
[19:24] <yofel> thevishy: no, removing ubuntu-desktop removes only ubuntu-desktop, nothing more
[19:24] <WeThePeople> terry, ls /mnt does not do anything
[19:24] <thevishy> whooops !
[19:24] <terry> WeThePeople: mount | pastebinit
[19:24] <thevishy> so meta package does hellp instalting nott he reverese
[19:24] <dajhorn> Kicchiri: What is the manufacturer and model of the computer?  What kind of ethernet interface does it have?
[19:24] <terry> WeThePeople: mount | pastebinit   #And send resulting URL
[19:25] <yofel> thevishy: yes (well, sometimes it does, but not that meta package)
[19:25] <Dr_Willis> hmmm
[19:25] <monkeyD> hey guys, I have a geroce fx 5200 and I cativated the driver that ubuntu offered me, the desktopeffects workes but my flashvideos are slow and at the background of docky is black
[19:26] <Kicchiri> dajhorn: Asus R1E Tablet PC... how do I figure out things about the ethernet interface?
[19:26] <terry> monkeyD: Install a different flash plugin
[19:26] <dajhorn> kichimi: Start by running `ifconfig eth0` at a terminal prompt.
[19:26] <monkeyD> terry: for example ?
[19:26] <monkeyD> terry: do you know why my docky has a black plane at the background ?
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> theres some trick to get firefox to use the chrome flash plugin. but that may not really help much
[19:27] <terry> monkeyD: adobe-flashplugin
[19:27] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, i am having trouble mounting my external HDD, its running off of the usb on my computer. It shows the F.S. in the Places drop down menu. but when i click on it to open it i get a error  'not authorized'
[19:27] <dajhorn> Kicchiri: Start by running `ifconfig eth0` at a terminal prompt.
[19:27] <softcoder> is this the right place to get help for a messed up grub in ubuntu 01.10 ?
[19:27] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  mount it by hand as the root user using 'sudo mount EXTRAOPTIONS'
[19:27] <softcoder> 10.10
[19:27] <Kicchiri> dajhorn: just did, sorry I'm a bit slow still. there's some data there
[19:28] <terry> monkeyD: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[19:28] <Bartzy> It's safe to delete /var/cache/apt ?
[19:28] <Kicchiri> I'm typing from a windows PC, what do you need to know?
[19:28] <monkeyD> adobe flash for firefox is installed terry
[19:28] <llutz> Bartzy: use "sudo apt-get clean" to delete that
[19:28] <Pici> Bartzy: You should use `sudo apt-get clean` to properly clean that path
[19:28] <dajhorn> Kicchiri: Did it find the ethernet interface?  If yes, then try `sudo dhclient eth0`.
[19:28] <Bartzy> thanks
[19:28] <terry> monkeyD: Install the latest version:  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[19:28] <Kicchiri> dajhorn: Yes. trying.
[19:29] <monkeyD> I have the <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:29] <WeThePeople> Dr_Willis, how would i create a mount point. i would like to mount it to my desktop
[19:29] <dajhorn> Kicchiri: The ethernet cable must be plugged in for that command to succeed.
[19:29] <monkeyD> if I watch a youtube video and right click at the video I can see that
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Monkeyd: check you do not have gnash or swfdec installed
[19:29] <terry> Dr_Willis: He already tried.  See:
[19:29] <softcoder> anyone.. grub?
[19:29] <Kicchiri> dajhorn: it is, but the switch doesn't see anything... tried three cables and four ports on two switches so far
[19:30] <terry> Dr_Willis: See;  http://pastebin.com/yauvWVT8
[19:30] <yofel> !ask | softcoder
[19:30] <softcoder> ok.. two drives
[19:30] <monkeyD> terry: could you help me to fix my geforce 5200 card ?
[19:30] <terry> WeThePeople: mount | pastebinit   #And send resulting URL
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> softcoder: sure, cheese toasty please :-)
[19:30] <softcoder> #1 IDE has 1 part.. win xp
[19:30] <dajhorn> Kicchiri: Try a different cable.  You should get a blinky on the switch port even if Ubuntu doesn't recognize the ethernet interface.
[19:30] <softcoder> #2 sata.. runs ubuntu (2 partitions)
[19:30] <terry> monkeyD: Did you install Nvidia driver?
[19:30] <WeThePeople> terry, there are no results
[19:30] <softcoder> when grub menu comes.. i pick UButnu and get a grub error in console
[19:31] <Jerkman> so, VPN help anyone...
[19:31] <terry> WeThePeople: Send resulting URL
[19:31] <softcoder> cannot find device uuid = and it shows the uuid of the sata drive where linux is installed
[19:31] <Pici> !anyone | Jerkman
[19:31] <monkeyD> terry: I can tell you which nvidia software I have
[19:31] <Kicchiri> dajhorn: I doubt the third cable is also broken...  I'll test that under windows *reboots*
[19:31] <terry> WeThePeople:  mount | pastebinit   #And send resulting URL
[19:31] <softcoder> if i unplug the IDE drice.. then grub load ubuntu
[19:31] <softcoder> I have already tried a zillion things related to fixing grub and none worked
[19:31] <Jerkman> i did ask the question ages ago Pici
[19:32] <softcoder> how can i fix my boot loader?
[19:32] <vooze> Hi guys.. in my webserver when i create a new folder and then go to "www.domain.tld/folder" users cant see the files, they just get error 403 (forbidden) is there a good way or (.htacess file) that will allow them to see the whole folder and the files in it???
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Softcoder: can you boot to root recovery mode? Is this a wubi install?
[19:32] <ruan> softcoder: have you tried swapping boot order of hard drives in bios?
[19:32] <Pici> Jerkman: I just see "what is the best channel for VPN advice?"?
[19:32] <Pici> Jerkman: If not #ubuntu, then perhaps ##networking
[19:32] <softcoder> recover gives same error and drops to shell
[19:32] <softcoder> ruan, yes i tried
[19:32] <__yhvh__> hey, is there no way to let the motd be longer than 80 columns?
[19:32] <Jerkman> perfect :) thanks Pici i tried #networking and no one was there ... silly me
[19:32] <terry> softcoder: You would have to tell us more about your hardware and software for us to advise you in any meaningful way.
[19:33] <softcoder> then it says invalid boot disk if i swap boot order
[19:33] <softcoder> ok... if i pastebin dfisk will that help?
[19:33] <softcoder> fdisk
[19:33] <monkeyD> terry: nvida-common, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, xserver-xorg-video-nv, jocky-common, jocky-gtk
[19:33] <softcoder> sudo fdisk -l.. will this suffice?
[19:33] <Guest98493> hi
[19:33] <Kicchiri> dajhorn: nope, under windows, the switch goes green. Appears to be a linux/driver problem.
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Softcoder: i suggest you boot to livecd and mess with grub there. You will be able to chroot and run commands on the installed OS
[19:34] <softcoder> ActionParsnip, already tried that
[19:34] <softcoder> not sure what else to do to get a proper grub config
[19:34] <softcoder> i followed at least 4 different versions of fix my grub after windows trashes it
[19:34] <Guest98493> I'm in need for an expert recomendation or advice
[19:35] <Guest98493> I would like to setup a web server at hom
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Guest98493: ask away
[19:35] <Guest98493> I don't know anything about unix or linux
[19:35] <dajhorn> Kicchiri: Pastebin the ifconfig and the dmesg:    ifconfig -a | pastebinit    and dmesg | pastebinit
[19:35] <Guest98493> I'm willing to learn to get started
[19:35] <Guest98493> I just wish to be able to set it up and forget about it
[19:35] <Guest98493> :D
[19:35] <Pici> !enter
[19:36] <Guest98493> what os is the "best" for server use?
[19:36] <Kicchiri> dajhorn: can I return a little later? I don't want to kill the windows checkdisk that was triggered by the ubuntu installation, not the thing is stuck with HDD activity and no reboot button -_-
[19:36] <ayecee> Guest98493: ubuntu
[19:37] <terry> monkeyD: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:37] <dajhorn> Kicchiri: You can do it at any time.   Also search for "Asus R1E" at Launchpad.  There are some bugs complaining about the ACPI in this computer.
[19:37] <BluesKaj> !server | Guest98493
[19:38] <thevishy> where are the x confs stored
[19:38] <Guest98493> Thanks guy.. I'll join the ubuntuserver chanel

[19:41] <monkeyD> terry: I have no xorg.conf in etc/X11
[19:41] <shirt> hello irc world =D
[19:41] <AndChat|> Guest98493: do you want to host a website on the server, or do you want to use it like a router?
[19:41] <soreau> daggberg: Show the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'
[19:41] <WeThePeople> pici, please see my comment above
[19:42] <soreau> monkeyD: You don't need one unless you're using a proprietary driver. What are you trying to do?
[19:42] <dajhorn> Kicchiri:  // Yeah,  I'd like you to reboot the Windows in your Linux.  :)
[19:42] <terry> monkeyD: Then you are not using the nvidia driver.  BUT, that should not mean that you wouldn't be able to play flash vidoes.  Are you trying to play flash videos via firefox?
[19:42] <meteor> Kicchiri, it was something about package lock.
[19:42] <__yhvh__> so does anyone know how to get the motd to be longer than 80 cols?
[19:43] <AndChat|> Terry: you can play flash using the open driver
[19:43] <dajhorn> __yhvh__: Is your text editor wrapping lines?
[19:43] <monkeyD> terry: yes
[19:43] <monkeyD> terry: but how can I fix that ?
[19:43] <monkeyD> terry: how can I use the nvidia driver ?
[19:44] <w_>  ,mm.mn.nm.knm.nm.
[19:44] <freeburn> when the ubuntu central repo will upgrade firefox?
[19:44] <daggberg> soreau: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series
[19:44] <__yhvh__> dajhorn: nope this is a script running figlet -t (sets width to terminal width) but width is 80 cols by default when logging in by ssh
[19:44] <ruan> freeburn: im not sure, but it might be in natty
[19:45] <dajhorn> freeburn: Firefox 4.0 is in Natty.  If you want it for Maverick, then check for a backport or use a PPA.
[19:45] <soreau> daggberg: Have you tried looking in sys>prefs>monitors while it's plugged in?
[19:45] <freeburn> is it possible to not to go for unity desktop when upgrading to natty
[19:45] <daggberg> ye I have
[19:45] <AndChat|> __yhvh__: looked in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[19:46] <ci> hla
[19:46] <freeburn> not a great fan of ppas
[19:46] <soreau> daggberg: Can you pastebin the output of 'xrandr -q' to paste.ubuntu.com ?
[19:46] <daggberg> sure
[19:46] <soreau> ! 11.04 | freeburn
[19:46] <shirt> Can someone help me, I loaded ubuntu 10.10 iso using unetbootin with a fat32 flashdrive, rebooted system and now its stuck at the ubuntu loading logo, any ideas?
[19:46] <Guest46400> hey all
[19:46] <terry> monkeyD: You need to fix the flashplayer plugin.    locate libflashplayer.so
[19:47] <dajhorn> __yhvh__:  You probably need to send a WINCH signal to the terminal before calling figlet.
[19:47] <monkeyD> terry: could we first fix the driver problem please
[19:47] <AndChat|> Shirt: did you MD5 test the ISO you used?
[19:47] <Kubbur> each time i start up ubunto i get new "x" desktop is localhost:x+1
[19:47] <syrinx_> monkeyD: system>administration>additional drivers
[19:47] <daggberg> soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/587488/
[19:48] <shirt> no but its the one from the website
[19:48] <dajhorn> __yhvh__: A `reset` might do it.
[19:48] <soreau> daggberg: Does it help if you switch to 1920x1080?
[19:48] <AndChat|> Shirt: doesn't matter at all. The data can easily be mangled in transmission
[19:48] <soreau> daggberg: xrandr --output HDMI --mode 1920x1080
[19:48] <terry> monkeyD: What is the problem with the driver?
[19:49] <freeburn> if i want to avoid unity desktop what should i do during upgrade?
[19:49] <shirt> so md5 test, if it doesnt test out redownload?
[19:49] <monkeyD> soreau: this driver is in use, its active
[19:49] <terry> monkeyD: Does the display look ok?
[19:49] <Pici> freeburn: Nothing.
[19:49] <AndChat|> Shirt: you have no way of knowing if the ISO is complete or consistent
[19:49] <soreau> monkeyD: I don't really care about flash since it's proprietary and it sucks
[19:49] <soreau> monkeyD: Download the video manually and play it in your local player
[19:49] <monkeyD> but also nvida-common, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, xserver-xorg-video-nv, jocky-common, jocky-gtk is installed
[19:50] <AndChat|> Shirt: yes a redownload will be needed if the image is bad
[19:50] <soreau> monkeyD: Doesn't make flash suck any less
[19:50] <shirt> thank tou andchat | I will give it a try
[19:50] <AndChat|> !md5 | shirt
[19:50] <daggberg> soreau: nope then it go outside the screen
[19:50] <monkeyD> soreau: at the background of my docky there is a black background
[19:51] <soreau> daggberg: Well I'm not sure what to tell you other than file a bug, complain in #intel-gfx or update your driver stack by installing xorg-edgers repo
[19:51] <monkeyD> terry: desktop looks ok, but the black plane behind docky sucks
[19:51] <terry> monkeyD: What is a docky ?
[19:51] <soreau> monkeyD: That's because you need a compositing manager running such as compiz
[19:51] <soreau> monkeyD: But it sounds like you do not have the nvidia driver correctly installed
[19:52] <terry> soreau: He does NOT have the nvidia driver installed.
[19:52] <monkeyD> compiz is installed, the desktopeffects works
[19:52] <soreau> monkeyD: Then you shouldn't have a black background behind your dock
[19:52] <monkeyD> terry: where do you know that and how can I do that
[19:52] <soreau> monkeyD: What is the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'?
[19:52] <BoraBorat> Waddup mi peeps
[19:53] <syrinx_> BoraBorat: que pasta broman
[19:53] <terry> soreau: You need a space:  lspci |grep -i vga
[19:53] <soreau> terry: No, you do not.
[19:54] <monkeyD> soreau: vga compatible controller: nvidia corporation nv34 geforce fx 5200 rev a1
[19:54] <kz3> whenever I run a program in Netbeans it says Permission Denied, what to do?
[19:54] <soreau> monkeyD: Have you installed the driver in sys>admin>additional drivers?
[19:54] <terry> soreau: Yea you do.  Try it and see
[19:54] <soreau> terry: I'm not going to argue with you. Look at his output, it worked
[19:54] <tyhtytyr> Hey
[19:54] <monkeyD> soreau: well its activ
[19:54] <soreau> terry: lspci|grep VGA
[19:54] <soreau> terry: Works fine.
[19:54] <tyhtytyr> I need to use the right thumbstick of my xbox 360 controller to control the mouse.
[19:55] <tyhtytyr> How can I do that?
[19:55] <terry> soreau: Well, doesn't work on mine....
[19:55] <soreau> monkeyD: That doesn't mean much. What is the output of 'lsmod|grep nvidia'?
[19:55] <soreau> terry: Then you're doing it wrong
[19:55] <soreau> terry: lspci|grep VGA
[19:55] <terry> soreau: Ok, never mind.
[19:55] <terry> soreau: He has the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200
[19:56] <soreau> termleech: So I saw, thanks
[19:56] <monkeyD> terry: lsmod|grep nvidia  has no output
[19:56] <soreau> monkeyD: You have not installed the driver correctly. Uninstall or deactivate it, then reboot and try reinstalling it again
[19:56] <freeburn> terry: how did he installed nvidia driver?
[19:56] <monkeyD> sould I uninstall also the ones in synaptic ?
[19:57] <freeburn> linux works well with ati cards these days...
[19:57] <JTallis> I'm trying to install Ubuntu from a LiveUSB. I have 100GB unallocated but when it comes up with the "Allocate drive space" it doesn't show anything?
[19:57] <JTallis> I cannot even find any of my drives on hteh ard drive.
[19:57] <terry> monkeyD: lspci |grep -i nvidia
[19:57] <freeburn> i have heard ati released their specifications and apis
[19:58] <terry> freeburn: We do not know.
[19:58] <freeburn> which nvidia has not
[19:58] <kz3> whenever I run a program in Netbeans it says Permission Denied, what to do?
[19:58] <monkeyD> soreau: I will also delet the ones in the synaptic manager
[19:58] <syrinx_> kz3: run it as sudo?
[19:59] <freeburn> kz3: how did you installed netbeans? i guess the ant scripts has permission issues
[19:59] <monkeyD> terry: vga compatible controller: nvidia corporation nv34 geforce fx 5200 rev a1
[19:59] <soreau> monkeyD: Don't remove the modalis packages as you need them to show up in additional drivers
[20:00] <freeburn> monkeyD: have you installed the driver provided in the nvidia site?
[20:00] <soreau> monkeyD: After you correctly install the driver, it will prompt you to reboot, and you should have an xorg.conf
[20:00] <soreau> I have to run, bbl
[20:00] <freeburn> then you are in for a lot of trouble dude
[20:00] <monkeyD> freeburn: no
[20:01] <monkeyD> freeburn: which one sould I install ?
[20:01] <JTallis> It's not finding my hard drive, how can I fix it? :(
[20:01] <freeburn> monkeyD: the one comes with ubuntu...by selecting "install additional drivers" works better
[20:02] <freeburn> it does not break X during a kernel update
[20:02] <monkeyD> freeburn: I uninstalled everything from nvidia in the synaptic manager
[20:02] <monkeyD> I will reboot now
[20:03] <monkeyD> system>administration>additional drivers  this option is not there anymore
[20:03] <RealOpty> in 10.04 my wifi drivers worked, now in 10.10 they dont :( wtf
[20:07] <Polah> When I do cat /proc/cpuinfo, it lists address sizes as 48; would this mean that it support 2^48 memory addresses as 2^64?
[20:07] <monkeyD> terry, soreau : after I deleted all the drivers in the synaptic manager and I reboot I dont have the black plane anymore :)
[20:09] <WeThePeople> pici, how do i create a mnt point?
[20:09] <Polah> WeThePeople: What are you trying to mount? A second drive?
[20:10] <WeThePeople> Polah, a second external HDD
[20:10] <Polah> WeThePeople: Use mkdir to create a directory in /media/ or /mnt/
[20:12] <Polah> WeThePeople: Then you just specify that as the mount point
[20:13] <zohas> hello
[20:13] <Polah> Hello
[20:13] <inj3ct0r> hi
[20:14] <inj3ct0r> i have a problem with my ubuntu 10.4
[20:14] <inj3ct0r> when i install and boot to it
[20:14] <JTallis> Unfortunately, the people here don't want to help anyone -.-
[20:14] <JTallis> They just ignore you like rude little kids.
[20:14] <inj3ct0r> ubuntu came up then say system should reboot or something like this
[20:15] <alsuna> !patience | JTallis
[20:15] <oCean> JTallis: you do understand it's all volunteers here?
[20:15] <mister_m> why would changing the window border cause me to crash to the login screen? it does it every time I try to log in
[20:15] <Polah> inj3ct0r: What message does it come up with. An actual quote would be nice.
[20:16] <JTallis> Well looks like Ubuntu isn't for me. Rude community, shit OS... overall, just crappy.
[20:16] <Pici> WeThePeople: I'm busy at the moment, pelase ask the channel.
[20:17] <freeburn> JTallis: whats wrong dude?
[20:17] <WeThePeople> polah, i cant create a folder in mnt
[20:17] <keyUp> I have apache 2.2 and ubuntu 10.10 I just installed the apache how should I set www directory right so it will have permisions to write files, my goal is for some of the websites visitors need to upload pictures and some files or to edit files (make coments or use forums make chnges to the website content ect)
[20:17] <Polah> WeThePeople: You need to use sudo
[20:17] <smw> freeburn, he left
[20:17] <pcteknikern> What is the best software to make backups when using Ubuntu 10.04? Duplicity?
[20:18] <oCean> !backup | pcteknikern
[20:18] <Polah> KeyUp: chmod 766 should do it.
[20:19] <keyUp> that is secure?
[20:19] <keyUp> chmod 766 on whole usr/www folder?
[20:19] <Polah> KeyUp: Or 776. KeyUp: That allows Read/Write/Execute for owner, Read/write/execute for group and read/write for public
[20:19] <keyUp> im sry var/www
[20:19] <Polah> KeyUp: Yes. The first one only give read/write to group as well
[20:19] <llutz> 6 on folders is nonsense, 7 or 5
[20:20] <keyUp> hm what group :S
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Polah: write access for public?
[20:20] <rcmaehl> !ff4
[20:20] <keyUp> should I set first apache user as owner of the ww folder?
[20:20] <keyUp> should I set first apache user as owner of the var/www folder?
[20:20] <Polah> ActionParsnip: He said he wanted them to be able to upload.
[20:21] <freeburn> keyUp:yes thats the first thing
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> Polah: ahh i see :-)
[20:21] <Riiick> alguem br aii ??
[20:21] <keyUp> on some websites i need visitors to uplaod pics edit the website content (making comnets uplaoding files ect voting..)
[20:21] <Riiick> alguemm ??
[20:21] <keyUp> ahm
[20:21] <keyUp> ok
[20:21] <Pici> !br | Riiick
[20:22] <roeland> so, i went and recursavely changed permissions on the "/etc" folder to 775
[20:22] <keyUp> guys is this safe? to make apache user owner of the whole /var/www folder then make chmod 766 to the folder?
[20:22] <roeland> now i cant connect via ssh putty anymore
[20:22] <roeland> anyone have any idea why?
[20:22] <smw> roeland, why would you do that?
[20:22] <Polah> KeyUp: Someone said to use 776 which I guess would make more sense. You'll could just apply 766 to the folder you want their uploads to go in, rather than your entire web directory.
[20:22] <smw> roeland, it could be that sshd freaked out that its key was public...
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> roeland: sshd stopped?
[20:23] <WeThePeople> polah, woo hoo, thankyou
[20:23] <roeland> im not sure
[20:23] <Pici> roeland: Again, why did you do that?
[20:23] <llutz> 766 makes no sense at all Polah
[20:23] <roeland> i can get in on it locally
[20:23] <roeland> well when im at the machine
[20:23] <roeland> but i get the error "network error: software caused connection abort"
[20:23] <freeburn> i used to 777 everywhere:)
[20:23] <roeland> when i try to putty
[20:23] <smw> roeland, do sudo restart sshd on the server
[20:23] <Pici> !enter | roeland
[20:24] <keyUp> guys pls help :)
[20:24] <roeland> i will try this now smw.
[20:24] <TvL> roeland, I think there's a likely chance that you've broken a lot more than only sshd
[20:24] <keyUp> one say 766 other 766 no sense :))
[20:24] <smw> roeland, I agree with TvL
[20:24] <smw> roeland, I suggest a reinstall...
[20:24] <Pici> roeland: This likely will require a reinstall of Ubuntu to fix.
[20:24] <Polah> KeyUp: Llutz, sorry I meant 776 that second time as well. Apply 776 to the folder you want them to upload to.
[20:25] <llutz> keyUp: directories should be 7. 5 or 1 but not 6, 4
[20:25] <TvL> roeland, I'd recommend a reinstallation as well
[20:25] <keyUp> so pls anyone can tell me I want this: I have few websites almost all of them use uploading of photos from visitors and visitors must be able to vote and make coments (change content of the website) so what should I do with owner and permisions to enable this pls
[20:25] <Riiick> Ouvir
[20:25] <Riiick> Tradução do português para inglês
[20:25] <Riiick> someone speaks in Portuguese?
[20:25] <Pici> !br | roeland
[20:25] <Polah> Llutz: Why couldn't they be 4? If you only wanted read access on them?
[20:25] <Pici> roeland: sorry, mistab
[20:25] <Riiick> someone speaks in Portuguese?
[20:25] <Pici> Riiick: #ubuntu-br
[20:25] <TvL> roeland, you will most likely get other problems either immediately, or in the future during upgrades
[20:25] <roeland> yah, wheni do anything sudo
[20:25] <Riiick> alguem br aii ??
[20:25] <Pici> roeland: To be honest I'm surprised that you're not having more problems.
[20:25] <smw> !br | Riiick
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> !pt
[20:26] <keyUp> llutz how you mean 5 or 1 but not 6 , 4 i dont understand anything i am afraid :S i am new to liux
[20:26] <freeburn> keyup:chown apache
[20:26] <roeland> oh.. wow ok, is there an easy way to reinstall?
[20:26] <TvL> Pici, he has, he's just focused on sshd now... he's also having problems with sudo now obviously
[20:26] <Riiick> oks ;DD
[20:26] <freeburn> that will change the owner of the folder
[20:26] <keyUp> :S
[20:26] <roeland> i dont wanna redo all my apache mysql.. local network shares.. etc
[20:26] <keyUp> ok
[20:26] <keyUp> then?
[20:26] <TvL> Pici, if you can't log on... you cant see issues :P
[20:26] <Pici> TvL: :)
[20:26] <erUSUL> keyUp: a directory needs executable bit set to be usefull or none will be able to cd to it
[20:26] <smw> roeland, well, did you backup etc before doing that?
[20:26] <keyUp> should I and how to give permision to apache to write in the folder?
[20:26] <llutz> Polah: set a dir with files in it to 444 and try a "cat dir/file"
[20:26] <tangeers_> bbak
[20:26] <roeland> sudo mentions something about having sudoers needing to be 044
[20:27] <smw> roeland, if not, you should backup your current configs and reinstall.
[20:27] <Pakbaz> hi
[20:27] <Pakbaz> What is the most common page layout for making pdf files? (For example A4,A3,Letter...)
[20:27] <maco> roeland: because /etc/sudoers is under /etc and so needs to be chmod'd back to a safe permission
[20:27] <maco> roeland: and ssh wont work because ssh configs need to be protected as well
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> keyUp: i suggest you look into unix file permissions a little to understand the nu
[20:27] <erUSUL> keyUp: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions
[20:27] <Jonnn___> Does anyone know why my desktop is split into 2 sides where the left side is crashed?
[20:27] <roeland> what if i did 044 to all of etc? could that solve my problem?
[20:27] <keyUp> ok
[20:27] <Riiick> smw, voce sabe instalar o jdownloader ??
[20:27] <Pici> roeland: No.
[20:27] <genii-around> Pakbaz: A4, in portrait
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> keyUp: numbers people are suggesting to you
[20:28] <keyUp> I will read but I wanted suggestion so my websites ndn server stay secure from hacking
[20:28] <Pakbaz> genii-around:thanks
[20:28] <roeland> ic. btw, im pretty much completley new to linux.. etc, its on a local test box for doing web development
[20:28] <Polah> KeyUp: Octal permissions use a format of OGP (Owner, Group, Public), the values you specify are either 4 for read, 2 for write and 1 for execute permissions. You add these together to give more than one of these permissions. Hence 776 will allow read/write/execute for the owner and group and read/write for public.
[20:28] <smw> roeland, not that easy. Everything needs different permissions
[20:28] <maco> roeland: no
[20:28] <TvL> roeland: save your entire /etc... always handy to keep around after a reinstall to check your configuration files. Also make a mysqldump of your databases... You might even choose to backup /var/lib/mysql (with its permissions!!!!!) and put it back afterwards.... Think about everything
[20:28] <Jonnn___> Can someone help my with half of my desktop being messed up?
[20:28] <keyUp> so if i set whole www directory to apache owner and if i give apache write permissions in www directory is this secure for my server and websites?
[20:29] <freeburn> keyUp: its secure
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> Jonnn___: details please
[20:29] <roeland> damn alright. didnt realize giving 775 to all of etc would mess things up like this, apache and mysql still running fine btw
[20:29] <llutz> keyUp: no, giving full write-access to the web-server isn't a good idea
[20:29] <roeland> my network shares through samba are still working also
[20:29] <keyUp> ok
[20:29] <roeland> its a local machine, no outside access
[20:29] <keyUp> so 776 will do?
[20:29] <keyUp> llutz,  so what  to do?
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> roeland: try manipulating the services
[20:29] <Jonnn___> The left half of my desktop is doing that thing where when you drag a window over it it will show a trail
[20:29] <Jonnn___> But the right half works fine
[20:29] <llutz> !permission | keyUp
[20:30] <sirgad> Hey. I'm trying to modify the files in the LiveCD for 10.10 x64 through UCK.  I need to know where to add values to do certain things from the Terminal.  Anyone able to help, or push me to somewhere i can find it? :)
[20:30] <keyUp> llutz, you suggest to give write permision only in directories needed?
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> Jonnn___: what video chip?
[20:30] <llutz> keyUp: keep permissions as limited as possible, yes
[20:30] <Jonnn___> built in intel one
[20:30] <Jonnn___> It just started, it was fine before
[20:31] <keyUp> ok thanks all
[20:31] <Jonnn___> Oh, and this started when I uninstalled a macbuntu theme
[20:31] <smw> roeland, why did you change permissions to all of /etc?
[20:31] <llutz> keyUp: and on directories, use 755/775 but not 766/776. read "man chmod" why
[20:31] <Polah> KeyUp: Yes. Apply it recursively to your entire web directory or just the folder you want people to upload into
[20:31] <BabyGirl> does anyone experience a pop up from Opera telling you something about enabeling cache i preferences,,i mean by that UserJS Sorage Quota,,what would be that configuration ?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Jonnn___: what is the outp of: lsb_release -d
[20:31] <roeland> ActionParnersip: what do you mean by manipulating the services?
[20:31] <Loshki> roeland: well, you've learned 2 important lessons: 1) backup your system if you don't want to risk having to reinstall from scratch and 2) don't mess with permissions in /etc if you don't know what you're doing...
[20:32] <roeland> loshki: that is true!
[20:32] <Jonnn___> Ubuntu 10.10
[20:32] <Polah> What's the d on file permissions for?
[20:32] <Pici> Polah: directory
[20:32] <llutz> Polah: its not permissions, its a dir
[20:33] <llutz> Polah: 1st character
[20:33] <roeland> loshki: the reason i did 775 and then 777 to /etc folder was to allow me to adjust etc files from my windows machine through the share i set up via samba
[20:33] <Polah> LLutz: Yeah, i.e. it's drwx. Obvious now that it would stand for directory
[20:33] <Vinconzo> hi
[20:33] <freeburn> roeland: whats wrong with putty?
[20:33] <naomi_> I have Ubuntu 10.04, installed it with Wubi I think it's called. How long can I use this for? Like is it better to install and partition it properly?
[20:34] <TvL> roeland, use winscp and logon as root?
[20:34] <smw> roeland, that is considered a bad idea period
[20:34] <roeland> freeburn: convenience
[20:34] <freeburn> naomi: yes you should it in a separate partition to get the real experience
[20:34] <TvL> yeah roeland, I have to agree with smw... you should not do that
[20:35] <roeland> TvL: yah , im in agreeance now!! problem is i made a noobie mistake
[20:35] <Polah> naomi_: Using wubi is fine, but if you format your Windows partition then you will lose your Ubuntu install as well. The same applies that you will not be able to access it if your Windows bootloader fails for whatever reason.
[20:35] <freeburn> roeland:for usnig notepad?
[20:35] <roeland> notepad++
[20:35] <roeland> duh
[20:35] <Loshki> roeland: fwiw, I agree with the others. Reinstall! Failing that, restore permissions to /etc/ssh/* and /etc/sudoers, and expect other "surprises"
[20:35] <keyUp> llutz, polah thanks ill read chmod man
[20:35] <roeland> loshki: i am going to, ive learned alot already in the process of setting it all up
[20:35] <freeburn> roeland:come to the dark side...unleash ViM
[20:35] <freeburn> :)
[20:35] <TvL> roeland, been there done that ;-)
[20:35] <smw> roeland, well, you learned two things from this. First, backup (with permissions) /etc. Second don't go changing permissions of systems files... ever
[20:36] <roeland> freeburn: ive considered it, but i would have to learn ViM ;)
[20:36] <smw> roeland, nano is easy to use.
[20:36] <smw> roeland, or if you are on an ubuntu desktop, you can edit with a graphical editor over ssh
[20:36] <Polah> I have a file in my system root named vmlinuz, would this be a remnant of my attempting to install GRUB? I don't recall seeing at before.
[20:36] <roeland> the good news is this linux box is only for internal web development. so me messing this up isnt nearly the end of hte world
[20:37] <Vinconzo> so i've tried several broadcom drivers, (STA and b43) and neither of them work
[20:37] <Pici> roeland: I've been using linux for about 10 years now and I don't know how to use vim.  nano works fine.
[20:37] <llutz> Polah: its usually a symlink to the latest kernel in /boot
[20:37] <freeburn> roeland: you know i got a job when i was in college only because i knew vim:)
[20:37] <roeland> im runnin windows 7 on my work machine, editing files through netbeans. since i mapped the www root on my windws 7 machine
[20:37] <TvL> Polah, it's probably a symlink and it should be there
[20:37] <Vinconzo> It doesn't say that there's anything wrong with it, and using ndiswrapper shows that it is recognized and the hardware is there
[20:37] <smw> roeland, I have been using it for a decade also and I only know how to use the same features nano has in vim ;-).
[20:38] <Riiick> Can someone help me?
[20:38] <roeland> so, nano is "like" vim?
[20:38] <naomi_> I want to have both Windows and Ubuntu. And the first time I tried partitioning them i didn't know what i was doing so I used Wubi instead. HOw do I go about partitioning them properly, deleting this ubunti I have now etc? I don't want to lsoe everything I have on this.
[20:38] <Vinconzo> but it does not show up anywhere else (eg. iwconfig or NetworkManager)
[20:38] <Polah> roeland: It's like it in that both at command-line based editors.
[20:38] <TvL> Riiick, with what?
[20:38] <smw> roeland, it is another text editor. It is an easy one.
[20:38] <BabyGirl> does anyone experience a pop up from Opera telling you something about enabeling cache i preferences,,i mean by that UserJS Sorage Quota,,what would be that configuration ?
[20:40] <Tetsuo55> does anyone know hot to fix this error
[20:40] <Tetsuo55> bash: line 230: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dell-software-temp-bootstrap.list: Permission denied
[20:40] <Tetsuo55> i get it when running:  wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash
[20:40] <TvL> Tetsuo55, I guest it installs software, you might want to put sudo in front?
[20:41] <sirgad> hey. Anyone can advise how to modify settings on a LiveCD to add certain default settings?  Using UCK but the info I need relates to how to use the Terminal to make gconf changes.  I also need to know which settings to change to effect my desired changes.
[20:41] <smw> roeland, I suggest you dual boot ubuntu on your workstation. It is much easier to remotely administer linux servers with linux.
[20:41] <freeburn> Testsuo55:run it as root
[20:41] <TvL> Tetsuo55, be sure it is legit!!!!
[20:41] <Tetsuo55> TvL: even with sudo the error is the same
[20:41] <Riiick> Someone get me a doubt in time to install the jdownloader?
[20:41] <llutz> testi: sudo -i    and run it then
[20:42] <freeburn> roeland:its true that vim and emacs are weird compared to other text editors...
[20:42] <TvL> well
[20:42] <llutz> Tetsuo55: ^
[20:42] <freeburn> but they are damn powerful
[20:42] <smw> Riiick, your sentences do not make sense.
[20:42] <TvL> Tetsuo55, you must give root rights to the bash program
[20:42] <freeburn> and worth the effort to learn it
[20:42] <TvL> Tetsuo55, not the wget
[20:42] <Riiick> wath ?
[20:42] <Riiick> why ??
[20:42] <TvL> Tetsuo55, become root like some people already mentioned: sudo -i
[20:42] <TvL> Tetsuo55, then your command again
[20:43] <Jordan_U> llutz: freeburn: sudo is not the solution to any error mentioning permissions. You should not suggest running a command as root unless you specifically know that it is intended to be run that way.
[20:43] <Polah> TvL: He doesn't need to sudo -i unless he'll be running multiple commands. Just prepending sudo would do
[20:43] <llutz> Jordan_U: in this case it is.
[20:43] <Tetsuo55> ok that helps
[20:43] <TvL> Polah, I see, but he's using a pipe
[20:43] <Tetsuo55> still some errors but those are fixable thanks
[20:43] <alsuna> naomi_: in short: backup your system; make space on you hdd; download the ubuntu cd; boot from the cd; install ubuntu to the free space
[20:43] <Riiick> why not make sense? to doubt with time to move the terminal u
[20:44] <TvL> Polah, I don't think the command after the pipe will have root rights...
[20:44] <Tetsuo55> or not
[20:44] <freeburn> Jordan_U: it seems like adding a repo in repo.d....so sudo should be the solution...
[20:44] <Tetsuo55> can i make it more verbose somehow?
[20:44] <Riiick> why not make sense? to doubt with time to move the terminal u
[20:44] <llutz> Polah: that sudo would ba valid for "wget" but not the " bash"
[20:45] <Jordan_U> llutz: Indeed, sorry about that.
[20:45] <Polah> TvL: He doesn't need to sudo -i unless he'll be running multiple commands. Just prepending sudo would do
[20:45] <Polah> Oops, llutz, TVL: I assumed it applied to the entire line and only needed to be respecified for a new line or &&
[20:46] <llutz> Polah: that sudo would be valid for "wget" only but not the " bash"
[20:46] <TvL> Polah, llutz nope... :D
[20:46] <Tetsuo55> nevermind
[20:46] <||arifaX> I have to restore the default permission for a /home/user folder. what is it in 10.04 server?
[20:46] <TvL> Polah, llutz wrong assumption :P
[20:46] <llutz> TvL: ?
[20:46] <awsoonn> hi all, I would like to use audio over HDMI on 10.10, the output device shows up in the sound menu but 'test' doesn't work. any advice?
[20:46] <Tetsuo55> the tool eventually falsy claims no updates are available
[20:46] <Tetsuo55> damn
[20:46] <TvL> llutz, sorry... should have included you
[20:46] <TvL> llutz, shouldn't .... damn...
[20:47] <Polah> ||arifaX, hold on and I shall look
[20:47] <||arifaX> Polah: thanks
[20:47] <jlh2206> You can always send the password of a sudoer to the sudo command in a one-liner:  echo password | sudo -S command
[20:47] <TvL> llutz, you mentioned the same to polah
[20:47] <Polah> ||arifaX, I have drwxr-xr-x, which I believe is 755.
[20:48] <||arifaX> Polah: thanks saved my day
[20:48] <barack_osama-> Polah yeah it is 755
[20:48] <vivek200912> In my network notification area, it is showing b17 as wireless network, I am trying to connect to it, but i cant, what is that?
[20:48] <TvL> ||arifaX, polah: my homedir is 'chmod 700', but it is encrypted using ecrypts... so it's a mountpoint
[20:48] <T_N_T> hello, I need help with Skype on 10.10 , the problem I am having is that the sound doesn't always work when I am in chat and I can't figure out why it won't work sometimes, this is on 10.10 64 bit on an HP pavillion DV7 188dx
[20:49] <smw> ||arifaX, don't forget to make sure the owner and group is correct.
[20:49] <TvL> I think you should be able to make your homedir chmod 700... since it's yours? I don't know if this assumption is correct
[20:49] <llutz> why should a home-dir be 755? no other user should have right to enter/read user-dirs
[20:49] <Polah> TvL, ||arifaX : 700 would make it inaccessible to anyone apart from the owner
[20:49] <||arifaX> smw: yeah it is. just made a lot of changes for finding an error (which was an apparmor cups-pdf thing) but now all is fine thanks to Polah - thanks all

[20:50] <TvL> Polah, ||arifaX exactly what I would like!!!!
[20:50] <monkeyD> also so ne art gerätemanger wie in windows ppq
[20:50] <TvL> nobody should be snooping in my homedir!!!! ;)
[20:50] <llutz> !de
[20:50] <TvL> who knows what I've  stored there
[20:50] <stathis> does anyone have problems with the Skype log in now?
[20:51] <Polah> TvL: Certainly good if you don't want anyone finding your stuff. I don't store anything in my home directory anyway, so it'd be a waste for me to do that (apart from settings which go there)
[20:51] <TvL> Polah, why don't you store anything in your homedir?
[20:51] <smw> stathis, I am logged into skype fine now
[20:52] <TvL> Polah, that's it purpose right! Always handy to know: if I backup my homedir, I've got all my stuff :-)
[20:52] <Polah> TvL: I have a secondary hard drive for all my data stuff; downloads, schoolwork, music and so on.
[20:52] <smw> stathis, when I have problems, I like to run killall skype; sleep 2; killall -9 skype and then run skype again.
[20:52] <coz_> hey all
[20:52] <Polah> Hello, Coz_
[20:53] <smw> stathis, problems logging in or talking to people.
[20:53] <stathis> smw, I used force quit because It frozw and now I cannot log in.
[20:53] <TvL> Polah, I see! I must admit I have a secondary filesystem as well, mounted on /data, owned by tvl:tvl and chmod 700 :P
[20:53] <coz_> Polah,  hey guy
[20:53] <stathis> smw, it says server connect failed
[20:53] <smw> stathis, open a terminal and type killall -9 skype
[20:53] <pushpop> Is there any application out there besides dropbox where I can create a public link to any file on my computer that can be downloaded from the internet?
[20:53] <smw> stathis, restarting should also work.
[20:54] <smw> pushpop, dropbox is the best.
[20:54] <Polah> TvL: I could set myself as just the owner of that drive, I suppose, as no one else actually has to access this computer.
[20:54] <lastent> Hi, is there any project or something about chinese chars recognition as an input?
[20:54] <pushpop> yea, nothing else out there though?
[20:54] <smw> pushpop, you could host it on your local computer, but that is rarely practical
[20:54] <stathis> smw, I tried everything. I also reinstalled the program
[20:54] <smw> pushpop, you have a few other options, but none of them are easy.
[20:55] <alsuna> stathis: i've been having the same problem for the last hour...
[20:55] <smw> pushpop, nor do they work as well. What is the problem with dropbox?
[20:55] <TvL> Polah, that's a good practice if you ask me... sooner or later you will give someone an ftp account, and all stuff will be visible...
[20:55] <pushpop> Large files
[20:55] <pushpop> no enough space
[20:55] <pushpop> not*
[20:55] <stathis> alsuna, should we guess it is a skype inc. issue?
[20:56] <smw> pushpop, why do you want this?
[20:56] <smw> pushpop, you could manually use rsync to sync with a remote server you control...
[20:56] <pushpop> often find my self needs to send large files
[20:56] <undercontrol> Is there a kernel option that would allow any user (not just root) to bind processes to ports < 1024?
[20:56] <pushpop> yes an ftp could do it
[20:56] <pushpop> id rather have it downloaded by a direct url
[20:56] <Polah> TvL: I don't need FTP to my personal computer. Although I've set up FTP on a VPS I own and taken the precaution of making the account they use unable to use sudo and the FTP is locked into their home directory.
[20:57] <dajhorn> undercontrol:  Look at the authbind package.  There is more than one way to do this.
[20:57] <smw> pushpop, I use sftp to transfer files from home
[20:57] <alsuna> stathis: probably; i won't jump into action about it just now and hope it's a skype problem they'll resolve soon
[20:58] <sirgad> Hey, Ok, i'm in gconf-editor in UCK modifying a LiveCD of Ub10.04x64.   Which values do I edit to disable the startup items?  Any able to help with this? :)
[20:58] <smw> pushpop, maybe rsync to an http server?
[20:58] <pushpop> maybe
[20:58] <pushpop> yea that sounds like an option
[20:58] <TvL> Polah, that's good, also good to set the shell: /bin/false. Only thing I wanted to say was: requirements change. You can't predict the future... If you make it as tight as possible from the beginning, you will most likely run into less problems in the future :-)
[20:58] <dajhorn> undercontrol: Don't send personal messages in this channel.  Ask the question here.
[20:58] <Polah> TvL: What's would setting it to /bin/false do?
[20:58] <smw> pushpop, I just am not sure what you are doing. I just sftp like I said. sftp works over ssh so no new software is needed on the server, just the client
[20:59] <TvL> Polah, you're ftp user cannot logon using ssh
[20:59] <pushpop> ok thank you
[20:59] <Polah> TvL: Oh, thought it might be that. I need them to be able to though to restart certain things if the server is rebooted for whatever reason and I'm not available. Is there an option to lock their shell into their home directory as well?
[20:59] <TvL> Polah, because it will not get a shell. I've even put the 'AllowUsers tvl' on my private server
[20:59] <stathis> alsuna, I hope so.. they cannnot leave linux community without skype
[21:00] <undercontrol> dajhorn: can u say one way to do this ?
[21:00] <dajhorn> undercontrol: Go install the package, and then come back and ask questions about what you don't understand.
[21:00] <llutz> Polah: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian
[21:01] <Polah> llutz: Thank you very much. I'll have a look over that.
[21:01] <KramB> Could anyone help me with the Mac4Linux package?
[21:01] <smw> Polah, not sure if this is what you are looking for http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/
[21:01] <TvL> Polah, AllowUsers is from ssh.... I have no experience of chrooting users to their homedir using ssh, but a quick google showed that there are a lot of posts/howto's about it
[21:01] <stathis> alsuna, smw thank you both! lets hope the problem will be resolved soon! :)
[21:02] <KramB> Can someone help me with installing a new AWN Theme?

[21:08] <fsdfdfd> hello
[21:08] <FunnyLookinHat> Is there a way to get my icons to line up on the right side of the desktop instead of the left when I do auto-align by name ?
[21:08] <fsdfdfd> have a question
[21:09] <WeThePeople> how do i delete a directory?
[21:09] <terry> WeThePeople: rmdir
[21:09] <eggbertx_laptop> or rm -r dirname
[21:09] <fsdfdfd> hello
[21:09] <fsdfdfd> have a question
[21:09] <smw> WeThePeople, rmdir. If it is full (use with care!) rm -rv
[21:09] <Polah> !ask fsdfdfd
[21:09] <Polah> !ask | fsdfdfd
[21:09] <fsdfdfd> okay but
[21:09] <fsdfdfd> first:
[21:10] <smw> !enter | fsdfdfd
[21:10] <fsdfdfd> is the samsung f3 500 gb or WD ears green 5400 upms better
[21:10] <terry> WeThePeople: Did  you get your mount issue solved?
[21:10] <Polah> !ot | fsdfdfd
[21:10] <alsuna> smw: what is the difference between rmdir and rm -r ?
[21:10] <smw> alsuna, rmdir does not work on directories with files in them
[21:10] <WeThePeople> terry, yes
[21:10] <sirgad> Anyone help with modifying gconf settings? :) Pretty please :)
[21:10] <smw> alsuna, rm -r is dangerous!
[21:10] <Polah> !repeat | sirgad
[21:11] <maco> alsuna: rmdir only works on empty dirs
[21:11] <terry> alsuna: rmdir will only delete an empty directory  rm -rf will delete one that has files  and  directories.
[21:11] <sirgad> ah, apologies, new to irc.  will be more patient.
[21:11] <smw> alsuna, also, don't forget to add v (rm -rv) so that you can see the files being deleted.
[21:11] <erUSUL> rm -r is enough.- -f forces removal or read only items
[21:12] <eggbertx_laptop> I realize that this isn't a ubuntu issue, and that this is a gnome thing (I had the same issue in Fedora) but I'm on a laptop, and I want to have it default to middle click when I tap two fingers, and right click when I tap three, but it defaults to the opposite. I know I can do "synclient TapButton2=2 TapButton3=3" to set it to that, but if I close the lid, it goes back to default. Is there any way I can set that to the de
[21:12] <eggbertx_laptop> fault?
[21:12] <eggbertx_laptop> and #gnome is practically comatose
[21:13] <alsuna> smw is it just dangerous because you don't get to see and confirm what you are deleted?
[21:13] <smw> alsuna, it is dangerous because it is very easy to delete stuff you did not intend to delete.
[21:13] <smw> alsuna, I use -v so I can see if I did something wrong.
[21:13] <maco> alsuna: if you want to see and confirm, add -i... then itll ask for each file "are you sure?"
[21:14] <smw> alsuna, but by the time you see it, you can only reduce the damage.
[21:14] <Polah> eggbertx_laptop, it default when you close the laptop (suspend?) or turn it off completely?
[21:14] <sirgad> Ah, maybe this is a better question: anyone know what string to search for in gconf-editor to pull up values that toggle startup items?
[21:14] <eggbertx_laptop> Polah: I have it set so when I close the lid, it does nothing
[21:15] <magicalteeth> im running kubuntu right now and id like to add all the goodies from ubuntustudio,can anyone tell me what pqackages id need?

[21:21] <kz3> Whenever I run a program in NetBeans it says "Permission Denied" What to do?
[21:21] <monkeyD> I have an geforce fx 5200 and I activated the driver that ubuntu offered me but my desktop effects dont work and my flash videos are laggy
[21:22] <monkeyD> please help me guys
[21:22] <naomi_> I don't know how to upgrade or how it works. Like do you lose everything on your current version? Pictures or things like that.
[21:22] <maco> naomi_: no, upgrade just updates what's outside of /home
[21:22] <Gatetech> i just had to install a 2nd linux friendly card.
[21:22] <maco> naomi_: and if you were to reinstall, you could choose in the manual partitioning options to not format /, in which case everything in /home would be saved
[21:22] <Polah> naomi_: No, it just upgrades the system itself. You shouldn't lose everything. Update Manager should tell you if there's a newer version available and give you an option to upgrade if you run it. If not you can do sudo do-release-upgrade to do it from command line

[21:23] <yaaar> I have a 32-bit 10.04.02 LTS server that's locking up on me regularly. I get a whole bunch of stack traces in the logs like these: http://pastebin.com/Vt1NnTGf ...always seems to be rsync, which makes me think it's related to a backup operation (to a local BackupPC server) ...any idea what might be wrong?
[21:24] <eggbertx_laptop> Polah, maco: Thanks for the help, it worked :)
[21:24] <maison> slt
[21:24] <naomi_> Alright so how do I do it in terminal? "sudo do-release-upgrade" ?
[21:25] <eggbertx_laptop> I just had to add the synclient options to the hal fdi settings
[21:25] <Polah> naomi_: Yes, or open up Update Manager and it should tell you about a new release and give you an option to upgrade
[21:25] <naomi_> Okay thanks.
[21:26] <naomi_> It says my system is up to date.

[21:27] <naomi_> Checking for a new ubuntu release
[21:27] <naomi_> No new release found
[21:27] <naomi_> :s
[21:27] <Polah> naomi_: do lsb_release -d
[21:27] <naomi_> Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
[21:28] <magicalteeth> suggfestions for graphical RPGś please. Im almost done beating freedroid and would like a new/better challenge.
[21:29] <johannix> I'm having speed issues on my Ubuntu box. I've noticed similar speeds with speedtest.net, but pages are loading up A LOT slower on my linux box. Any thoughts?
[21:31] <Polah> naomi_: That's strange. I'm not too sure why it won't pick up 10.10
[21:31] <naomi_> Is it because I'm using the Wubi thing?
[21:32] <terry> johannix: pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf
[21:32] <maco> naomi_: go to the software sources preferences
[21:32] <naomi_> Where's that? >.>
[21:32] <maco> naomi_: its because 10.04 is an LTS release -- by default it only shows other LTS releases (the next of which will be 12.04)
[21:32] <naomi_> Long term support?
[21:32] <maco> naomi_: system -> administration -> software sources i think
[21:32] <maco> naomi_: yes
[21:33] <johannix> terry: http://pastebin.com/bZ9QQkSp
[21:33] <naomi_> BUt then how does anyone upgrade if it only shows other LTS releases? &I'm in software sources.
[21:33] <magicalteeth> list game
[21:33] <maco> naomi_: by changing that setting
[21:34] <maco> naomi_: for non-LTS releases, itll show all available releases
[21:34] <johannix> terry: that's the linux box. my macbook only has <IP_ADDRESS> listed
[21:34] <maco> naomi_: for LTS, it defaults to only showing other LTSes, but that can be changed in the window you're looking at
[21:34] <terry> johannix: Is <IP_ADDRESS>  your router's IP?  And does it in fact have a caching nameserver running?
[21:34] <johannix> terry: no clue...
[21:35] <naomi_> show new distribution releases > its on LTS only. change to Normal releases?
[21:35] <maco> naomi_: yep
[21:35] <terry> johannix: trade <IP_ADDRESS>  for <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:35] <terry> johannix: And test again.
[21:35] <johannix> ok
[21:35] <johannix> do I have to restart something?
[21:35] <naomi_> Okie thanks.

[21:38] <Polah> !ask | Nonamehero2
[21:38] <terry> johannix: What does route -n say?
[21:39] <johannix> terry: I'm trying to pastebin it, but it's taking a while...
[21:39] <terry> johannix: Is the linux box connected to a wireless router?
[21:39] <cache_surplus> make that .24-.27
[21:39] <johannix> terry: no. it's wired.
[21:40] <johannix> terry: http://pastebin.com/JPUgwJ1x
[21:41] <nikola> good work
[21:41] <terry> johannix: Replace <IP_ADDRESS> with <IP_ADDRESS> in your /etc/resolv.conf file I guess.  Is the mac connected to the same router?
[21:41] <naomi_> maco: http://i.imgur.com/D2bQ5.png is this right, like i'm able to upgrade this even though i only have linux on the Wubi thing?
[21:41] <maco> naomi_: yeah its fine
[21:42] <johannix> terry: the Mac is connected via wireless, but I also tried putting it on the same wire the linux box is on and had the same results
[21:42] <playbrain> where can i get e107 scanner?
[21:42] <terry> johannix: Explain your LAN to us.  What exactly are you connected to?  What kind of router?  What kind of Internet Connection device... etc.
[21:42] <johannix> terry: I'm not sure what type of router it is because I'm in a shared office
[21:43] <mr_orange_> I am running the lastest version of ubuntu netbook edition and on occasion an error message occurs telling me that my battery is critical and the laptop is going to shutdown and then my laptop shuts down. Is there a fix to this or not?
[21:43] <johannix> terry: wow. I just tried putting the first two numbers the route -n spit out and I think that worked
[21:44] <terry> o
[21:44] <johannix> terry: it's super quick now
[21:44] <johannix> terry: thanks so much!!
[21:44] <terry> np
[21:44] <johannix> terry: can you give me a like a simple explanation what it was doing?
[21:45] <nikola> @orange: Why did you not try to connect your pc to the sector?
[21:45] <nikola> maybe he don't have any battery
[21:45] <johannix> really interesting stuff...
[21:45] <nikola> no?
[21:45] <terry> johannix: Just a dns problem
[21:45] <mr_orange_> nikola: but my battery is still full
[21:45] <johannix> terry: k. I'm reading the docs on the resolv.conf
[21:46] <naomi_> How long around does the whole download/installing process take? And will I be offline while installing?
[21:46] <leftyce> I am new to Linux. Recently I installed xubuntu 10.10 on to an older desktop PC. The monitor is an older 4x3 configuration. all the video is too narrow. I suspect I need to change my Monitor setting to 1024 X768 or 800 x 600 but I cannot find any place to do that. Cann anyone help me?
[21:47] <mr_orange_> I am running the lastest version of ubuntu netbook edition and on occasion an error message occurs telling me that my battery is critical and the laptop is going to shutdown and then my laptop shuts down even though my battery still has charge. Is there a fix to this or not?
[21:47] <brightspark> I can't get pdf files to open in Firefox using evince.  Can someone please assist me with this?
[21:47] <terry> johannix: It depends on if the nameserver on the <IP_ADDRESS> is working or not and which one is best to use.  If the first one listed in the resolv.conf is not working, it will be slow.
[21:48] <erUSUL> leftyce: in normal ubuntu is in system>Preferences>monitor... dunno about xubuntu. ask in #xubuntu ?
[21:49] <terry> leftyce: xrandr   #And see what you have now.

[21:50] <switch10_> mr_orange_: I have the same issue on my dell netbook.  I had to shut off the setting in gconf editor.
[21:50] <mr_orange_> switch10_ how do i do that
[21:51] <switch10_> open gconf editor and poke around.  I cant remember exactly where it is.
[21:52] <mr_orange_> how do I open gconf editor
[21:52] <brightspark> type gconf-editor in the terminal window
[21:52] <brightspark> which you open by pressing ctrl-alt-T
[21:54] <brightspark> then open apps>gnome-power-manager in the left pane
[21:54] <switch10_> mr_orange_: its under apps>gnome-powermanager>actions
[21:54] <mr_orange_> ya i found it
[21:54] <D4V3R> can I ask a quick question please?
[21:54] <ralgozino> hello people! one question.. does Ubuntu show icons in popup menus or is my application problem??
[21:55] <ralgozino> Ubuntu Maverick 10.10

[21:55] <Nonamehero2> I installed Ubuntu 10.10 b4 bit and when my computer tries to boot up i get this message "error: no such device:(bunch of letters and numbers)". Can someone help me fix my computer so i can boot into Ubuntu?
[21:55] <mr_orange_> switch10_ what do I change it to to stop the problem
[21:56] <maco> Nonamehero2: i'd boot from a live cd and run "blkid" to get the uuid for the partitions on your system, then compare them to what's in /etc/fstab and make sure they match
[21:56] <switch10_> under crititcal battery type "nothing"
[21:56] <D4V3R> I had ubuntu installed on a machine, it ran in to problems so i cloned it to another hd and put it in another totally different machine and it seems to have booted up fine, is this normal for ubuntu or have I been lucky or can I expect problems
[21:56] <D4V3R> thanks people
[21:56] <maco> Nonamehero2: its looking for a certain uuid and not finding it which either means its wrong (could happen if you modify the partition table) or that your disk has failed and that partition has gone kablooey
[21:57] <mr_orange_> switch10_ thank you
[21:57] <Nonamehero2> Will it work from a linux mint 10 live cd?
[21:57] <terry> D4V3R: Pretty much normal, if you don't have problems now, you shouldn't have problems in future
[21:57] <maco> Nonamehero2: sure
[21:58] <switch10_>  D4V3R I do it all the time.  I used to test computer componenets and I had about 4 hdd's between 10 or so systems.
[21:58] <D4V3R> ah excellent, I only did it as a test, but nice to know I should be safe and can bin the old unit
[21:59] <terry> D4V3R: It's because most all drivers or modules now-days are loaded on demand
[21:59] <terry> D4V3R: ... as it boots
[21:59] <D4V3R> just for info, its for my Nagios and its nice to know I can keep an updated clone and throw it in another machine
[21:59] <D4V3R> thanks for your help
[22:04] <Nonamehero2> how do i run blkid?
[22:04] <g15> can i copy a ubuntu paration with swap and etc and boot it off from other hard drive?
[22:04] <g15> is that possible?
[22:04] <domevlo> So I got this new laptop, and I (naturally) installed ubuntu 10.10 on it.  The only problem is that my /usr/share/i18n/ directory is completely empty, and nothing can find my UTF-8 character map file, so things keep throwing errors around.
[22:05] <domevlo> I was wondering, is there a package I can install that will provide charmap files?
[22:05] <mickster04> g15: probabyl but why? it would probably be just as sensible to normal install then copy user data across
[22:05] <th0r> g15: while it is possible, it isn't as easy as you make it sound
[22:06] <g15> is there a conf of settings i can copy over
[22:06] <jorn> hey, if I have a MAC address of a server in my current LAN segment, how can i get its ip?
[22:06] <g15> so i dont need to reinstall and resetting'
[22:07] <mickster04> jorn: you could probably do an nmap ping scan, it usually shows mac address of the ip?
[22:08] <fox> quit
[22:08] <fox> exit
[22:08] <hornyman> hello
[22:08] <iceroot> jorn: maybe with "arp" or "arping"
[22:08] <hornyman> im horny

[22:08] <iceroot> hornyman: stop it
[22:09] <vish> !guidelines > hornyman
[22:09] <Nonamehero2> how do i run blkid?
[22:09] <domevlo> on my system /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED doesn't seem to exist
[22:10] <domevlo> how can I get it?
[22:10] <g15> is there anyway i can set everything to default and start out fresh' ubuntu'
[22:10] <g15> without reformating'
[22:10] <hornyman> how do i check private messages
[22:10] <hornyman> oh
[22:11] <jorn> iceroot, mickster04: no, i'm searching for the inverse way... i already know the target's mac address just not its ip (as it might change due to dhcp and cause i carry both PCs to work and back)
[22:11] <mickster04> jorn: well yeah but do a scan and then check which ip also has the nmac u recognise
[22:11] <erUSUL> domevlo: belongs to the package locales
[22:11] <erUSUL> !find /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
[22:12] <erUSUL> !info locales > domevlo
[22:12] <Polah> How can I set up Evolution to start up on login and check for mail every 10 minutes; I have it set to check mail every ten minutes but it only does it while I have Evolution open
[22:14] <domevlo> erUSUL: oh, my system claimed that was installed, but I just reinstalled it and now everything works!
[22:14] <domevlo> erUSUL, thanks!

[22:20] <jtoy_> Magnusson_TB: i thin k its 10.10
[22:21] <Polah> jtoy_: Are you choosing "Install Ubuntu" from the menu that comes up when you hold shift when booting for a LiveCD/USB?
[22:21] <jtoy_> yeah, its 10.10
[22:21] <jtoy_> Polah: yes
[22:21] <union131> yo how do i make a channel
[22:21] <Polah> union131: Just do /join #channelname, it'll make one automatically.
[22:21] <red2kic> union131: /j #union131
[22:21] <jtoy_> something seems to be wrong with the hardwware or software, i've done the install so many times before
[22:22] <Polah> jtoy_: Just select "Install Ubuntu 10.10" on the desktop"?
[22:22] <Nonamehero2> The UUID for fstab matches the uuid on blkid and i still cant boot.
[22:23] <Polah> Nonamehero2: What message is it giving you when you try to boot? Can't find bootable media or something to that effect?
[22:23] <jtoy_> there must be something wrong with the version i have, is there a way i can tell ubuntu to install from the command line?
[22:23] <Nonamehero2> error: no such device:(bunch of letters and numbers)
[22:23] <Magnusson_TB> jtoy_> is this regular ubuntu or kubuntu?
[22:23] <jtoy_> Magnusson_TB: regular ubuntu
[22:24] <Polah> Nonamehero2: When you try and boot from it? Is GRUB installed correctly?
[22:24] <Nonamehero2> i dont know. it goes from my bios boot screen straight to that error
[22:24] <Magnusson_TB> jtoy_> i installed kubuntu and just ran Start Kubuntu, then it ran everything normally as if it were running from the live cd, then asked if i wanted to test Kubuntu or Install. no such option for you i'm guessing?

[22:25] <naomi_> .. wrong person. D;
[22:26] <Polah> Nonamehero2: Try reinstalling GRUB on the drive you want to boot from. Boot from a LiveCD/USB, mount the drive you want to boot from. Then do "grub-install --root-directory=/media/<drive>/boot /dev/<drive>
[22:27] <Polah> Nonamehero2, change --root-directory to point to /boot on the drive you want to boot from (or you boot partition if you have it separate) and specify the drive you want it to go on afterwards
[22:27] <Nonamehero2> ok
