[03:39] <cdr> Is there a way in Ubuntu to get similiar functionality to the "Restore previous folders on startup" feature in Windows?
[03:39] <Gnea> !nvidia
[03:39] <yeik> ElderDryas: ahh ok, and yeah, i am bad with names... i can remember a computer and an issue like it was written down on my hand, but names really don't work for me.
[03:39] <alin`> a_p3rson[yellme]> it is, but not totally
[03:39] <virtus> I have an issue installing lamp =/
[03:40] <cdr> I hate losing all my open folders when I reboot.
[03:40] <yeik> cdr: i believe that is probably more of a feature in gnome, or your favorite x-manager. I know that xfce has an option to open your programs up when you reboot.
[03:40] <ElderDryas> yeik: your systems sound like me 15 years ago...now I'm down to one laptop and leave the multiple systems to my daughter
[03:40] <cdr> yeik: Yeah, gnome.
[03:40] <ElderDryas> but I'm getting ot :(
[03:40] <cdr> I can't find any way to do it in Gnome, though
[03:41] <yeik> ElderDryas: i use it more like a server, then i have two computers, one for my living room (laptop was taken over by my gf) and my desktop in the other room.
[03:41] <FrankBro> What would be the best remedy for a notification area removing/doubling icons between boots
[03:41] <ali__> Gnea : thank you
[03:41] <David664>  does anyone know if external video cards work good for games?
[03:41] <a_p3rson[yellme]> cdr: try hibernation?
[03:41] <alin`> knows anyone how to port a source code from windows to linux??/
[03:41] <a_p3rson[yellme]> David664: no, absolutly
[03:42] <Gnea> ali__: any luck yet?
[03:42] <cdr> a_p: not an option
[03:42] <cdr> thanks though
[03:42] <ali__> Km0201 : thank you too i'm trying now to install it in offline mode
[03:42] <yeik> cdr: what gnome version?
[03:42] <a_p3rson[yellme]> alin`: thats a vague question, if you are trying to run a windows program on linux, either look for a linux port or try a windows emulator.
[03:42] <ali__> Gnea : not yet but still trying thank you anyway
[03:42] <Gnea> ali__: awesome
[03:42] <KM0201> ali__: it's pretty easy... if you're on a live usb/cd... just follow the instructions to modprobe the driver, and it should work... i've had pretty good success w/ the STA and the 4313
[03:42] <David664> no, absolutly? is that yes or no? lol
[03:42] <cdr> yeik: whatever's current on 10.10, 2.32.0
[03:43] <alin`> a_p3rson[yellme]> i have source code make with visual studio, but i can't compile it in linux :(
[03:43] <ali__> Km0201 : you mean the USB which I installed the ubuntu netbook booted in?
[03:43] <yeik> cdr: im not that great with gnome, but i found this http://blogs.sun.com/mattman/entry/gnome_2_24_session_save1
[03:43] <a_p3rson[yellme]> alin`: hmm not sure if you can...
[03:44] <ali__> Km0201:  how can i do that? cuz i'm blur now seriously
[03:44] <surial> Where should I be looking for documentation on properly starting my own services?
[03:44] <surial> i.e. apps I write myself.
[03:44] <alin`> a_p3rson[yellme]> why not?
[03:44] <a_p3rson[yellme]> cdr: if you are using ubuntu, just select hibernate on the menu
[03:44] <KM0201> ali__: are you following the instructions for "no internet access/STA driver"?
[03:44] <a_p3rson[yellme]> alin`: visual studio i don't think will work on linux, but im not sure...
[03:44] <yeik> ali__: it actually sounds like you installed onto the hard drive from the usb, because netbooks don't have cd drives. do you require the usb to boot/is that how you boot?
[03:44] <grendal_prime> visual studio blow
[03:44] <grendal_prime> s
[03:45] <yeik> alin`: why do you want visual studios in linux?
[03:45] <ali__> Km0201 : I'm reading it now
[03:45] <cdr> a_p: this is a dual boot machine, I doubt hibernate works
[03:45] <grendal_prime> look at gambus
[03:45] <KM0201> ali__: are you on a live USB, or did you actually install ubuntu on this netbook
[03:45] <alin`> a_p3rson[yellme]> I know it is not working in linux VS, but why not work sa source code??
[03:45] <grendal_prime> visual
[03:46] <a_p3rson[yellme]> alin`: again, im not sure, im not a visual studio guy
[03:46] <alin`> yeik> I don't want VS in linux, I want only the source code
[03:46] <kylemm> Okay im done
[03:46] <yeik> alin`: most code in visual studio (any type) usually uses windows libraries, as that is what the target os usually is. i would contact the person that has the source code and ask them if they can help you
[03:47] <alin`> a_p3rson[yellme]> :)K I keep looking
[03:47] <kylemm> yeik: im done :D
[03:47] <yeik> kylemm: wb, how did that go?
[03:47] <kylemm> yeik: it is now 710MB persistant
[03:47] <yeik> kylemm: are you booted to that now?
[03:47] <kylemm> yeik: ya
[03:48] <alin`> yeik> in C++ are not the same libs??
[03:48] <yeik> kylemm: ok, so now you should be able to make any changes, add a file to the desktop, and reboot.
[03:48] <kylemm> where did that guy go lol
[03:48] <kylemm> yeik: thanks
[03:48] <yeik> alin`: No, there is a lot of different libs, some even implement things like boost, there are differences for things like time() threads() etc, as the underlying os is different.
[03:48] <ali__> Km0201: no i'm on my desktop ubuntu it has no problem the problem is in my netbook ubuntu
[03:49] <ali__> I am following the instructions now but I feel i'm confused
[03:49] <KM0201> ali__:  where are you confused?
[03:49] <alin`> yeik> :(
[03:49] <yeik> alin`: There is lots of source code that can be compiled in both linux and windows, but usually for any decent sized project it has to be configured
[03:49] <kylemm> Can somebody help me blacklist nouveau
[03:49] <ali__> I seem i cannot install it
[03:49] <alin`> the it is any program to convert from C++ in Java??
[03:49] <ali__> by offline mode
[03:49] <yeik> kylemm: you're welcome.
[03:50] <ElderDryas> kylemm: now you should NOT have to jump thru all the hoops of the past few days, adding the recommened NVIDIA driver should work
[03:50] <kylemm> ElderDryas: really?
[03:50] <alin`> yeik> I try a very small one...it is dosen't work to compile in linux
[03:50] <ElderDryas> yes...we did not realize that you were using the .iso :(
[03:50] <ElderDryas> kylemm: yes...we did not realize that you were using the .iso :(
[03:50]  * ElderDryas getting tired
[03:51] <kylemm> i was told i need to blacklist nouveau
[03:51] <yeik> alin': if it was set up for visual studio it might not. but if you have a small .c file that just is main(){prinft("hello world");} then it will compile no matter what.
[03:51]  * a_p3rson[yellme] realised this is there...
[03:51] <cdr> yeik: thanks, that at least got me the right keywords to search
[03:52] <yeik> alin`: you should contact maintainers of the code, and ask them for help, or go to a C++/C room and ask for help compiling the code.
[03:52] <safire_> what's ubuntu's wgetpaste alternative?
[03:52] <alin`> yeik> "Hello World" it is the simplest program
[03:52] <ElderDryas> kylemm: I don't think you have the nouveau driver install now...just try the NVIDIA driver
[03:52] <yeik> cdr: you're welcome. hopefully you can find it.
[03:52] <Vampist> Hey I was having a quick chat with one of my college profs. Hey suggested sudo -s instead of sudo su. Can anyone tell me the differences between the two?
[03:52] <gp5st2> i installed the mscore fontss package, but this air app can't seem to see webdings.  this is a headless box with a minimal X install. what can i do to see if it's installed? or how could install just webdings if i had the ttf?
[03:53] <yeik> alin': yes, but visual studio creates packages and adds includes automatically, to make things easier for developers. without knowing the source code i am more inclined to say it wont work
[03:53] <yeik> alin`: even if it all works in linux, you have to manually compile it, using gcc, and link each file and library that is needed.
[03:54] <Vampist> Does anyone know the difference between Sudo su and Sudo -s off hand?
[03:54] <alin`> yeik> I compare two source code, one of windows and one of linux, are the same, but still don't work
[03:55] <gp5st2> Vampist: sudo - tuns everything from stdin sudo su gives you a shell, if i recall
[03:55] <yeik> Vampist: sudo su actually does su as root, su changes the user thats logged in. i don't know what sudo -s does.
[03:56] <hanasaki> D-Link DGE-530T    which driver does this need and does it come with ubuntu?
[03:56] <Vampist> Sudo -s is basically as if you called sudo before every command after that until "exit". (logs you in as root)
[03:56] <yeik> alin`: do you have a link or can you paste something that i can look at to have an idea of what you are working with?
[03:56] <a_p3rson[yellme]> Vampist: sudo -s appears to have to do with the input of the password
[03:56] <vox> how in the hell do you successfully enter single-user-mode in 10.10? i'm trying to unmount / but the stupid recovery console is screwing it up
[03:56] <Vampist> I have always done sudo su. But he suggested sudo -s
[03:56] <gp5st2> Vampist: sorry, i missed the -s and just aread a -
[03:57] <yeik> Vampist: then i would say sudo -s would probably also time out and ask for a password later, but sudo su will always be as root, so if you leave or someone else tries to mess with it, then they will not be able to.
[03:57] <alin`> yeik> ok for an example a simplest program who make makefile from sln
[03:58] <alin`> yeik> http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cross-platform/sln2mak.aspx
[03:58] <yeik> alin`: sln is a solution file for visual studio, im not away of any tools to compile sln in linux
[03:58] <Vampist> yeik: That is interesting, didn't think of that aspect.
[03:58] <droidftw> can ubuntu play .mov files
[03:58] <alin`> yeik> sln is incorporate all the tree source
[03:58] <intok> Where can I get a PPC build of LXSplit?
[03:58] <gp5st2> droidftw: should be able to. if the default media player can't, try vlc
[03:58] <droidftw> ok
[03:58] <droidftw> gp5st2: thankyou
[03:59] <em> for some reason nautilus has lost its theming
[03:59] <em> all the folders are just white now
[03:59] <em> how do i get that back to normal
[03:59] <VxQe> em: tried restarting nautilus?
[03:59] <VxQe> just nautilus -q in terminal.
[03:59] <yeik> alin`: i know what sln is, it is called a "solution" file, it gives visual studio its structures, includes, files, etc, with that link you sent, it might be possible to convert the sln to a makefile. But i don't think the actual source code will compile.
[04:00] <jon_athon> http://imagebin.org/138022
[04:00] <jon_athon> why does my proc speed show 530 mhz?
[04:00] <em> VxQe: ahh thanks, that did it. I wonder why that would happen.
[04:00] <yeik> Vampist: Most things like that are for security reasons. it makes the most sense.
[04:00] <Gnea> Okay, making a wee bit of headway with my problem.... basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails. if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id" and then issue a "service
[04:00] <Gnea> did I just get cut off?
[04:00] <VxQe> em: It's happened to me before when I installed orta
[04:00] <alin`> yeik> uoff, sln have #include "stdafx"
[04:00] <VxQe> but it only happened once after I rebooted and never came back. :/
[04:00] <Vampist> yeik, yeah it makes sense. Thanks.
[04:00] <em> yeah i rebooted too
[04:01] <qebab> Gnea: you cut off at "service
[04:01] <em> but nautilus -q fixed it
[04:01] <Gnea> if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id"  and then issue a "service dbus start", it finds it and tries to start, but snowballs into a fully-locked kernel  panic. What should I try next?
[04:01] <uRock> Forgot to mention that I love my Ubuntu!
[04:01] <Gnea> qebab: that one?
[04:01] <qebab> Gnea: that should be the rest yeah. Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to solve your problem. :(
[04:01] <Gnea> qebab: alright :(
[04:01] <vox> how in the hell do you successfully enter single-user-mode in 10.10? i'm trying to unmount / but the stupid recovery console is screwing it up
[04:02] <Gnea> !language | vox
[04:02] <uRock> vox, sudo reboot
[04:02] <jon_athon> why does my proc speed show 530 mhz? http://imagebin.org/138022
[04:02] <kylemm> Okay i activated my driver and restarted computer, but it still says its not in use
[04:02] <Gnea> vox: second, bring up the menu at boottime by pressing the shift key just after post
[04:02] <yeik> alin`: stdafx is a windows thing, wont compile in linux without knowing what it is and changing it.
[04:03] <Gnea> jon_athon: power saving
[04:03] <jon_athon> Gnea, I'm plugged in
[04:03] <androidbruce> anyone have any advice on how to mount a NAS so that it mounts on boot in /etc/fstab?
[04:03] <uRock>  jon_athon it throttles
[04:03] <Gnea> jon_athon: the system is designed to throttle the cpu down when it's not being used for anything intensive
[04:03] <VxQe> Will still downclock cpu if it's not being used.
[04:03] <VxQe> Don't worry about it.
[04:03] <kylemm> Gnea: yeik: i got it to make it save. But it still says driver not in use....
[04:03] <bastidrazor> jon_athon: cpufrequtils will allow more flexibility in controling it.
[04:03] <alin`> yeik> ok, I would try to compile without that library
[04:03] <jon_athon> Gnea, so why does my fan still run all the time?
[04:03] <bastidrazor> jon_athon: cpufreq-info cpufreq-set are the two commands you may want..
[04:04] <uRock>  jon_athon check it again while ripping two DVDs at the same time while playing a game on Facebook
[04:04] <DpinkyandDbrain> ok so i have a graphics card that is not nvidia and one that is
[04:04] <VxQe> Fan is usually managed by the motherboard.
[04:04] <Gnea> jon_athon: bad ventilation? bad fan?
[04:04] <DpinkyandDbrain> but the one that is not nvidia gives better output
[04:04] <Jordan_U> vox: If you're trying to run fsck then then run "sudo shutdown -F -r now" to reboot and force an fsck.
[04:04] <jon_athon> uRock, it would have a heart attack
[04:04] <yeik> kylemm: i am not that great with drivers in linux, like nvidia drivers. Did it say activated before you rebooted?
[04:04] <jon_athon> uRock, it's 7 years old
[04:04] <kylemm> yeik: yes
[04:04] <jon_athon> Gnea, nah, it didn't do this with windows
[04:04] <kylemm> yeik: it said activated but not in use, and it still says that
[04:04] <DpinkyandDbrain> is there a way to just use one of the graphic cards for cuda and the other one for out put
[04:04] <vox> Jordan_U: neg, need to image / onto another disk
[04:04] <jon_athon> Gnea, it's actually blowing cold air outta the fan vent
[04:04] <Gnea> jon_athon: so check the fan speeds
[04:04] <uRock>  I was exaggerating a way to get it to show the full throttled CPU Hz
[04:05] <jon_athon> ?
[04:05] <vox> Gnea: done that
[04:05] <Gnea> jon_athon: install and setup lm-sensors
[04:05] <uRock> computertemp is another good package for monitoring temps in one of your panels
[04:05] <Gnea> vox: okay, then select the recovery mode
[04:05] <accel> what's a good linux compatible scanner? all the ones listed at http://usalug.com/phpBB3//viewtopic.php?t=8406 seem old-ish
[04:06] <Gnea> !sane | accel
[04:06] <vox> Gnea: done
[04:06] <jon_athon> Gnea, hmm, it's already in, I must have not been able to figure it out. I'll have to look at it again
[04:06] <Jordan_U> vox: That's easiest done with a LiveCD, but you can also remount / read only. It's going to be difficult to image without / mounted as I don't think dd exists in the standard initrd.
[04:06] <uRock>  accel anything HP
[04:06] <uRock>  My scanjet was plug n play
[04:06] <Gnea> jon_athon: okay, should be able to check using the sensors command
[04:07] <yeik> kylemm: Like i said, i am not sure. I haven't messed with changing to proprietary drives in a while.
[04:07] <jon_athon> temp1:       +45.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
[04:07] <vox> Jordan_U: i've done it before years ago. running a live cd on this system isnt overly easy at this point
[04:07] <vox> Gnea: i have a menu
[04:07] <Gnea> jon_athon: check RPM
[04:07] <kylemm> Gnea: now that things save should i do that rdblock nouveau?
[04:08] <Gnea> kylemm: yeah
[04:08] <kylemm> Gnea: can i get the terminal code
[04:08] <kylemm> Gnea: plox
[04:08] <jon_athon> Gnea, I don't see a commnd option for rpm
[04:08] <DpinkyandDbrain> hey can anyone answer some questions about graphic cards?
[04:08] <Gnea> jon_athon: no, it should say how many RPMs the fan is spinning
[04:08] <soreau> kylemm: Did you figure it out?
[04:09] <kylemm> soreau: well my stuff now saves
[04:09] <Gnea> !ask | DpinkyandDbrain
[04:09] <jon_athon> Gnea, nope
[04:09] <Gnea> jon_athon: weird
[04:09] <soreau> kylemm: That's good at least..
[04:09] <jon_athon> Gnea, yup
[04:09] <Gnea> vox: yeah, make the selection by hitting enter
[04:09] <vox> Gnea: done that, am in root shell
[04:10] <kylemm> soreau: some1 told me to blacklist nouveau a diff way in terminal
[04:10] <Gnea> vox: okay
[04:10] <DpinkyandDbrain> I have two graphic cards one is nvidia and one is not, the one that is not nvidia gives a better out put is it possible to just use the nvidia for cuda
[04:10] <DpinkyandDbrain> to basically use it as more computing power
[04:10] <Gnea> kylemm: you could also just remove it altogether
[04:10] <vox> Gnea: now how i mount / as read-only?
[04:10] <Gnea> DpinkyandDbrain: what's the other video card?
[04:11] <kylemm> Gnea: well id rather just blacklist it
[04:11] <Gnea> vox: sudo mount -n -o remount,ro /
[04:11] <vox> Gnea: mount: / is busy
[04:11] <Gnea> kylemm: that's fine, just:  sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf
[04:11] <clu3> hi, if i exec a command in bash shell script, how do i get its pid? Thanks
[04:11] <Gnea> vox: okay, reboot and go back to the menu
[04:12] <yeik> i use to love nano, now i hate it and love vim :P
[04:12] <kylemm> !blacklist
[04:12] <Gnea> vox: instead of going to the recovery console, 'e'dit the first item, go to the end of the kernel line, remove 'quiet splash' and input 'init=/bin/sh' and then press ctrl-x
[04:12] <soreau> kylemm: If you have things saving, that is similar to having ubuntu installed.
[04:12] <kylemm> soreau: ya its like installed on usb but its saving
[04:12] <zirconiumks> anybody knows how to revert to orginal touchpad drivers
[04:13] <DpinkyandDbrain> Gnea sorry i dont remember
[04:13] <Gnea> vox: it will boot up and suddenly everything will go blank - when it's blank, you have a shell prompt and / is read-only
[04:13] <soreau> kylemm: Good, now did you blacklist nouveau?
[04:13] <DpinkyandDbrain> its not in my possession yet
[04:13] <Gnea> DpinkyandDbrain: as long as it's not an ATI, it will work
[04:13] <zirconiumks> i tried installing the multitouch drivers on my hpdv6t but they are no good, so i need to revert back to the original ones, but i cant find how
[04:13] <vox> Gnea: win and awesome
[04:13] <Gnea> DpinkyandDbrain: if it's an ATI, the Nvidia will have a better output.
[04:13] <Dan__> Hell i have a good ? I am on the net using my laptop and i would like to hook up a eithernet cable from laptop to another pc! What i am tring to accomplish is to leach the internet from lap top to the other pc using eithernet cable
[04:14] <Gnea> vox: cheers
[04:14] <vox> Gnea: mount says / is mount rw
[04:14] <Dan__> is it possible?
[04:14] <kylemm> soreau: not yet i might not have to
[04:14] <kylemm> soreau: lemme restart comp and find out
[04:14] <Gnea> vox: heh, try to touch a non-existant file in /
[04:14] <Gnea> vox: you're reading stale data from when / was mounted rw
[04:14] <vox> Gnea: touche` :)
[04:15] <DpinkyandDbrain> there not the same card tho
[04:15] <DpinkyandDbrain> ones a gt 240
[04:15] <marekweb> hi, I just ran the startup disk creator on a usb drive, and it's been creating the persistence file for a longwhile now, it's stuck at 100% with only a cancel button, should I keep waiting?
[04:15] <yeik> soreau: kylemm got set up with a persistent live usb drive now.
[04:15] <DpinkyandDbrain> which is the nvidia and the other is much much higher
[04:15] <Blue1> !python
[04:15] <soreau> yeik: Ah ok, I don't know how that works
[04:15] <needlez>  can someone help me solve this problem with wpa_supplicant?? http://pastie.org/1565053
[04:16] <soreau> needlez: Run it with sudo
[04:16] <yeik> soreau: it is like a nromal live cd, but also creates a container that loads your user data on boot. its really neat, and there is an easy tool in windows to create one.
[04:16] <soreau> yeik: Awesome but can you tell it to become persistent through the live session itself?
[04:16] <yeik> so i am having issues with xorg, and now with upgrading packages, i am getting dpkg errors,
[04:16] <Gnea> Okay, making a wee bit of headway with my problem.... basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails.
[04:16] <needlez> soreau: thats point less im already root
[04:17] <yowshi> grrr usb-devices sees my blackberry but i cant figure out how to get it to mount
[04:17] <yeik> soreau: i am not sure, you probably could if you knew what you were doing, and the usb drive isn't just booting the .iso
[04:17] <soreau> needlez: Try it as your normal user with sudo
[04:17] <needlez> soreau: I have I get similar error, except I get permission denied for the device
[04:17] <yowshi> anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu?
[04:17] <Gnea> if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id"  and then issue a "service dbus start", it finds it and tries to start, but snowballs into a fully-locked kernel  panic. What should I try next? Panic info: http://i.imgur.com/oLmO6.jpg
[04:18] <soreau> yeik: I was meaning more of a 1 to 3 click solution for newbs ;)
[04:19] <yeik> soreau: yeah, in the usb drive itself no. but it would be a good thing to work on. Although this tool for windows is nice, it can put a portable copy of virtualbox on the usb drive and in most operating systems boot the usb in a virtual machine.
[04:19] <soreau> yeik: cool stuff
[04:20] <zirconiumks> can anyone point to working multitouch drivers to hp dv6t ?
[04:20] <yeik> I have a problem logging in, every time i try and login (the gui pops up and i can click login, change session type) it appears to crash the xorg system, i see the black screen with text from session that you see when you go to alt f7, i had the last LTS and i decided to upgrade to the newest update, ran the update to new release from update manager, and there were some times when it said failed
[04:20] <trollboy> so what's a good wireless dongle that works out of the box w/ ubuntu?
[04:20] <trollboy> I've got 2 here that suck :-/
[04:20] <yeik> and said i should run dpkg --configure -a and i did. but my main issue is that no matter what session i choose xorg seems to crash then restart itself when i try and login to the x-session
[04:20] <kisuke> any one able to help me with some x11 forwarding?
[04:21] <yeik> soreau: yeah, its almost as cool as my master usb drive. can do everything with it.
[04:21] <g_0_0> kisuke, what are you trying to do?
[04:21] <Gnea> yeik: have you tried:  sudo apt-get -f install  ?
[04:21] <needlez> soreau: this is what I get with running as regular user with sudo, http://pastie.org/1565229
[04:22] <kisuke> g_0_0: tring to run update-manager on a somewhat headless mavhine
[04:22] <Gnea> ChogyDan!
[04:22] <ChogyDan> Gnea: hi!
[04:22] <yeik> Gnea: sake dpkg errors, says dpkg: error processing binutils-mltiarch, dpkt-divert ... clashes with diversions of /usr/bin...
[04:22] <Gnea> ChogyDan: dude, I moved like, 1/8 of an inch lol
[04:22] <Gnea> yeik: ^.o
[04:22] <needlez> so anyone got any ideas??
[04:22] <ChogyDan> :(
[04:22] <Gnea> yeik: okay, do you get the same errors from sudo dpkg --configure -a ?
[04:23] <yeik> Gnea: i am not familiar with that one.
[04:23] <[Kai]Prototype> Anyone know if there is any repo with gtk3 in it?
[04:23] <Gnea> ChogyDan: I will repost.....
[04:23] <soreau> needlez: You need to make sure the card you're trying to connect with supports the specific encryption type you're using on the AP
[04:23] <ChogyDan> Gnea: well I remember you had kernel issues
[04:23] <Gnea> yeik: try it, see if it fixes anything
[04:23] <yeik> Gnea: i ran it, said it ran find, now it does nothing when i type that
[04:23] <Slayer> ansmission
[04:23] <kylemm> YO
[04:23] <Gnea> ChogyDan: well, I did get that latest ppa kernel installed, but having the same problem
[04:23] <Slayer> how to upload files through transmission
[04:23] <g_0_0> kisuke, type in terminal - ssh -X<EMAIL_ADDRESS>- then - type  - update-manager &
[04:24] <needlez> soreau: how would I check that?? and it connects fine normally, I just wanna use wpa_supplicant so I don't have to keep re entering the password
[04:24] <yeik> Gnea: i was running a distribution upgrade... knew i have should avoided doing it when i wasn't here to monitor it the whole time.
[04:24] <Gnea> yeik: ouch...
[04:24] <yeik> g_0_0: if you close the x session will that stop the updates and cause issues?
[04:24] <yeik> Gnea: yeah.
[04:24] <soreau> needlez: Ah, in that case you need to kill NetworkManager
[04:24] <Gnea> yeik: I'm really not sure :( guess I'd start backing stuff up and just install 10.10 from the get-go
[04:25] <JDuke128> hi
[04:25] <soreau> needlez: or service network-manager stop
[04:25] <g_0_0> yeik, not sure why he wants to do it but he doesn't need to close it
[04:25] <Gnea> ChogyDan: ok here we go...
[04:25] <Gnea> basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails.
[04:25] <kisuke> g_0_0: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/567204/
[04:25] <Gnea> if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id"  and then issue a "service dbus start", it finds it and tries to start, but snowballs into a fully-locked kernel  panic. What should I try next? Panic info: http://i.imgur.com/oLmO6.jpg
[04:25] <yeik> Gnea: could do that. except i would use xubuntu, and probably want to do a few things first. luckily this isn't the one with my web server.
[04:25] <g_0_0> kisuke, ah you're using putty
[04:26] <Gnea> yeik: heh, I was going to say, if it was a production server I don't think you'd be helping others out in the meantime lol
[04:26] <kisuke> g_0_0: i had x11 forwarding working the other day
[04:26] <yeik> Gnea: if it was a production server, i wouldn't have updated from lts to 10.10
[04:26] <yeik> or 10.04
[04:26] <Gnea> yeik: indeed
[04:27] <g_0_0> kisuke, you would be better just connecting with ssh
[04:27] <yeik> Gnea: i wonder if i can start a remote x session.
[04:27] <kisuke> g_0_0: how do you prepose i do that?
[04:27] <Gnea> yeik: not sure how that would help the situation.... could compound the problems
[04:27] <g_0_0> kisuke, then in the terminal - type - sudo apt-get update - then sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:27] <ChogyDan> Gnea: I really don't know.  I would try a clean 10.10, and then maybe go straight to natty and post a bug report.  You should get better help on launchpad
[04:28] <yeik> Gnea: i was thinking maybe if it works i know its not necessarily an issue with gnome-session?
[04:28] <g_0_0> kisuke, use putty enter hostname/ip address
[04:28] <kylemm> yeik: u know how to run ccsm?
[04:28] <needlez> soreau: tried same errors as before
[04:28] <g_0_0> kisuke, then when prompted enter username password
[04:28] <kisuke> g_0_0: my terminal machine is winblows, and yes i do know that my x11 forwarding is working, i was using it about 12 hours ago
[04:28] <yeik> kylemm: nope, why do you ask?
[04:28] <kylemm> yeik: just asking
[04:28] <kylemm> soreau: u know how to run ccsm?
[04:29] <g_0_0> kisuke, no need for x-forwarding
[04:29] <kisuke> g_0_0: and im sshed into it now, thats what the paste was from
[04:29] <alex__> can somebody help me with fixing  my boot loader?
[04:29] <kylemm> NBM
[04:29] <DailyWalk365> Holy Cow...I haven't used a chat program since the early 90's.  '94 I think it was.  Windows 3 days.
[04:29] <kylemm> NVM I GOT IT WORKING
[04:29] <yeik> kylemm: the compis config setting manager?
[04:29] <g_0_0> kisuke, if your in now type - sudo apt-get update
[04:29] <kisuke> g_0_0: there is for a dist-upgrade
[04:29] <Blue1> !sound
[04:29] <kisuke> g_0_0: did that right before i jumped on IRC
[04:29] <Gnea> ChogyDan: well I"m determined to do it with 10.04 for the meantime
[04:29] <alex__> i need help fixing my boot loader
[04:29] <yeik> kylemm: congrats!
[04:29] <Logan_WP> !caps | kylemm
[04:29] <g_0_0> then - sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:30] <Jordan_U> !details | alex__
[04:30] <kylemm> troll
[04:30] <needlez> soreau: tried but no joy, same errors as before
[04:30] <g_0_0> kisuke, sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:30] <Gnea> ChogyDan: if I can get the system to behave, then I will try burning 10.10 and give that a go soon
[04:30] <alex__> whenever i boot up, it shows the microsoft boot loader and then grub
[04:30] <alex__> is there any way to disable the microsoft boot loader?
[04:31] <yeik> Gnea: very interestingly the x session opened right up
[04:31] <Jordan_U> alex__: I assume you installed Ubuntu within Windows?
[04:31] <kisuke> g_0_0: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/567205/ so we dont keep on playing "try x" "alrady done it" heres my current session
[04:31] <Gnea> ChogyDan: and found this, it seems to explain things a bit: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/604854
[04:31] <Gnea> yeik: interesting
[04:31] <alex__> Jordan_U: yes
[04:31] <soreau> needlez: Not real sure then.. make sure no other instances of wpa_supplicant are running and kill avahi-daemon and dhclient if they're running too
[04:32] <kylemm> Gnea: yeik: soreau: got effects working! :D
[04:32] <uRock> !troll > kylemm
[04:32] <alex__> Jordan_U: if i reinstall ubuntu using livecd will the microsoft boot loader go away?
[04:32] <Jordan_U> alex__: This might not be the most convienient answer, but I recommend removing the Wubi install and installing Ubuntu normally, by booting from a LiveCD/USB.
[04:32] <g_0_0> kisuke you can do  - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade - where is this machine have you physical access to it? it's not the other end of the planet is it?
[04:32] <Gnea> kylemm: awesome
[04:32] <Gnea> uRock: dude, why did you do that?
[04:32] <alex__> Jordan_U: k thanks. that's all i needed :)
[04:32] <ElderDryas> kylemm: even after a reboot?
[04:32] <Jordan_U> alex__: You're welcome.
[04:32] <kisuke> right ext to me, its only imput atm is a media center remote.
[04:33] <Gnea> uRock: seriously, that's uncalled for.
[04:33] <wolf23> hi
[04:33] <kylemm> ElderDryas: i just had to reboot
[04:33] <yeik> Gnea: this is weird. i had vnc set up to turn on when i logged in, starting the remote x session enable vnc, and connected me to the same session i have on the box i ran the gnome-session with
[04:33] <wolf23> can anyone help me plz
[04:33] <kisuke> g_0_0: i wish the ubuntu upgrade page would tell you that...
[04:33] <Logan_WP> !ask | wolf23
[04:33] <rww> . !troll no longer exists, for reasons that are relevant right now.
[04:33] <g_0_0> kisuke, you can physically access this machine if something goes wrong ?
[04:33] <Gnea> !pm | uRock
[04:33] <ElderDryas> kylemm: congrats! ( Gnea & yeik too )
[04:33] <kisuke> g_0_0: yes
[04:34] <soreau> kylemm: I told you it's easy after you install it.. now install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra, compizconfig-settings-manager and simple-ccsm then set Custom in gnome-appearance-properties>Visual Effects
[04:34] <g_0_0> kisuke, ok fine
[04:34] <uRock> Gnea, don't fucking call me out if you don't want to talk about it
[04:34] <a_p3rson[yellme]> !language | uRock
[04:34] <kisuke> g_0_0: so just apt-get dist-upgrade?
[04:34] <g_0_0> kisuke, you've done updates yeah?
[04:34] <kisuke> g_0_0: yes
[04:34] <g_0_0> kisuke, if so yeah go ahead

[04:35] <g_0_0> kisuke, you're welcome
[04:35] <ElderDryas> kylemm's .iso problem
[04:35] <a_p3rson[yellme]> kisuke: to upgrade, in a terminal run      sudo update-manager -c
[04:35] <kf7nnz> Maverick Meerkat. I want to add a folder (scripts) in my home folder to the PATH environment variable. I can do it from a terminal but it is only active for that term. How do I make it "global" for GNOME and any new terms I open?
[04:35] <droidftw> ubottu are you a person?
[04:35] <uRock> Gnea, you missed what I was talking about, so don't bother replying about it
[04:35] <kylemm> There isnt many things
[04:35] <a_p3rson[yellme]> droidftw: well there's your answer
[04:35] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: add to your .bashrc
[04:36] <Gnea> !ops | uRock harrassing via uninvited PM
[04:36] <yeik> ElderDryas: ahh ok.
[04:36] <droidftw> i guess
[04:36] <gpc> uRock and Gnea Please both of you stop now.
[04:36] <kisuke> a_p3rson[yellme]: requires x11 forwarding im my case, and that broke sometime in the last 12 hours
[04:36] <droidftw> he seems intelligent
[04:36] <a_p3rson[yellme]> ahh i see
[04:36] <Gnea> uRock: welcome to /ignore
[04:36] <a_p3rson[yellme]> !ubottu | droidftw
[04:36] <yeik> ElderDryas: if you get a lot of people asking about live cd's it might be work keeping that link i gave kylemm handy.
[04:36] <yeik> err i mean live usb
[04:36] <a_p3rson[yellme]> droidftw: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi here
[04:36] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: I'll try that. BRB
[04:36] <droidftw> !ubottu
[04:36] <a_p3rson[yellme]> droidftw: thats how he works
[04:36] <rww> !gender
[04:37] <ElderDryas> yeik: missed it (and small buffer)...can you resend?
[04:37] <Logan_WP> !bot abuse | rww

[04:37] <yeik> ElderDryas: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
[04:37] <kylemm> There is only a few effects lol
[04:37] <rww> Logan_WP: and, more relevantly, that was a reply to someone saying "he" in reference to her ;)
[04:37] <maco> Logan_WP: and he wasnt botabusing, he was responding to someone calling ubottu a he :P
[04:38] <a_p3rson[yellme]> rww: ubottu doesn't seem all that female...
[04:38] <uRock> Logan_WP, are you a mod here?
[04:38] <maco> uRock: no, Logan_WP's not

[04:38] <uRock> thanks maco
[04:39] <kreppnar> hey all, i have a quick question.. everytime i plug in my USB drive, it automaticly gets mounted as read only? how can i fix this?
[04:39] <wolf23> Logan_WP,  i have a text file that shows the drivers for my pc friend
[04:39] <yeik> dpkg: error processing binutils-multiarch (--remove):
[04:39] <uRock> being that the other guy put me on ignore, I'll drop it
[04:39] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: there is no PATH setting in .bashrc currently. I'm assuming it is set somewhere else first?
[04:39] <yeik> Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[04:39] <yeik> reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[04:39] <yeik> any idea on how to attempt that?
[04:39] <needlez> soreau: still doesn't work, even with killing avahi-daemon, wpa_supplicant, & network-manager... says something about ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not permitted
[04:39] <a_p3rson[yellme]> kreppnar: is it in a format that ubuntu cant read?
[04:40] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: .profile there is a preset for ~/bin if ~/bin exists.
[04:40] <a_p3rson[yellme]> or is it set as encrypted from windows, like in U3?
[04:40] <kreppnar> it was originally formated with ubuntu, and then files were copied to it from ubuntu
[04:40] <kreppnar> so no
[04:40] <a_p3rson[yellme]> ok
[04:40] <droidftw> ubottu is amaing
[04:40] <a_p3rson[yellme]> you may not have permission, try in terminal         gksu nautilus
[04:40] <droidftw> its incredible what it does
[04:41] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: I see! So if I rename my "scripts" folder to "bin" then it will be in the PATH, correct?
[04:41] <a_p3rson[yellme]> kreppnar: if it turns out that the device doesn't give you permission, you can use    gksu nautilus    to go in as root and reset the permissions
[04:41] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: yes, you will need to source ~/.profile or start a new terminal session.
[04:41] <kreppnar> now if i right click on the drive in the file manager.. i dont have the option to format
[04:42] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: Will it also be in the PATH for the graphical environemnt?
[04:42] <a_p3rson[yellme]> kreppnar: in terminal:         gksu nautilus
[04:42] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: or, you can change that line in .profile to 'scripts' instead of 'bin'
[04:42] <kreppnar> yeah i did that
[04:42] <kreppnar> tried to remove the files
[04:42] <kreppnar> but no luck
[04:42] <kreppnar> and this is with more than one thumb drive
[04:42] <a_p3rson[yellme]> ooh more than one?
[04:42] <kreppnar> always mounting as read-only
[04:42] <a_p3rson[yellme]> now THATs a problem...
[04:42] <KGBWolf> i just installed ubuntu 10.04LTS Server am at the terminal prompt. Need to install a windows manager KDE preferably how can i get this done?
[04:43] <Gnea> ChogyDan: well, I've got a mostly working system now if I issue a dbus-daemon --system --fork  on its own
[04:43] <a_p3rson[yellme]> sounds like a problem with usb from ubuntu
[04:43] <ChogyDan> Gnea: what about /var/lib/dbus/machine-id?
[04:43] <Gnea> KGBWolf: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:43] <kreppnar> possibly i should try another usb port
[04:43] <Gnea> ChogyDan: by-passed it with that command
[04:44] <ChogyDan> Gnea: are you populating it?  I think it needs a value
[04:44] <a_p3rson> kreppnar: yes, and also make sure that the drives are readable from windows
[04:44] <Gnea> ChogyDan: no, if I do that the system will panic
[04:44] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: you mean a clickable icon?
[04:44] <Gnea> ChogyDan: it's a hack
[04:44] <ChogyDan> Gnea: and dbus-uuis --ensure makes it blank?
[04:44] <a_p3rson> kreppnar: otherwise, im out...
[04:44] <Gnea> ChogyDan: yes.
[04:44] <kreppnar> hmm let me start up virtual box and format it
[04:44] <kreppnar> yeah switched usb ports and still no luck
[04:44] <kreppnar> odd
[04:44] <kreppnar> thanks for the help though
[04:45] <Gnea> ChogyDan: I threw in some debugging statements before and after the command is run, it runs the first one, never makes it to the second
[04:45] <ChogyDan> Gnea: does a plain dbus-uuidgen say anything?
[04:45] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: I want to associate the script I've created with a keystroke. If it is in the PATH, then I don't have to give a fully qualified name, right?
[04:45] <Gnea> ChogyDan: yeah, it generates a random machine id
[04:46] <ChogyDan> Gnea: yeah, I guess that bug report is your problem then
[04:46] <yowshi> anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu?
[04:46] <kisuke> ok any one know how to fix this:  "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 data did not match"? im tring to get X11 forwarding to work
[04:47] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: just give it the full path. no real reason not to if you're setting a shortcut.
[04:47] <Gnea> ChogyDan: yup, flagged myself as having the same problem as well, haven't come up with anything to add to the conversation yet
[04:47] <Jordan_U> kisuke: Did you use ssh -X? Are you using screen or otherwise running programs from a different shell than the one started by logging in via ssh?
[04:48] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: gotcha. I edited .profile, then opened a new term but ~/bin is not in the PATH. Do I need to restart?
[04:48] <kisuke> Jordan_U: mostly im tring to firgure that problem is server or client-side
[04:48] <kisuke> Jordan_U: the rest will flow from there
[04:49] <Jordan_U> kisuke: For me to help you though I need to understand the exact situation. The reast will flow from there :)
[04:49] <Gnea> ChogyDan: well, I now have a gdm login screen with a working nvidia driver and sound's working
[04:49] <Omen_20> Does anyone know where I can find a real crack for Illustrator CS5? Everything I've found has been a runaround.
[04:49] <tensorpudding> !ot | Omen_20
[04:50] <tensorpudding> and software piracy is against channel rules
[04:50] <Gnea> wow, the visual effects on this system are *amazing*
[04:50] <ChogyDan> Gnea: I think you can edit the dbus.conf file to not run --ensure if you think that is the problem.  How exactly do you populate /var/lib/dbus/machine-id?
[04:50] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: no need to restart. what did you add/remove in .profile?
[04:50] <Gnea> I should make a small movie and upload it
[04:50] <Gnea> ChogyDan: dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
[04:51] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: Nothing. I just renamed my scripts folder to bin.
[04:51] <ChogyDan> Gnea: why don't you try putting that in your dbus.conf?
[04:51] <kisuke> Jordan_U: im using PuTTY and xming on windows, it was working about 12 hours ago, and my server is a mostly headless ubuntu 10.04.2 desktop install
[04:51] <droidftw> how do i build on ubuntu
[04:51] <KGBWolf> i just installed ubuntu 10.04LTS Server am at the terminal prompt. Need to install a windows manager KDE preferably how can i get this done?
[04:51] <Gnea> ChogyDan: that's apparently worked for others, but after I do that, somewhere along the way something causes the panic, I'm not sure what at this point and I really don't have the time to bother trying to fix it just now
[04:51] <Gnea> ChogyDan: because it will just cause an endless panic on each boot
[04:52] <droidftw> i <3 ubuntu
[04:52] <ChogyDan> i c
[04:52] <Jordan_U> kisuke: Are you using screen or otherwise running programs from a different shell than the one started by logging in via ssh?
[04:52] <kf7nnz> Let me start again. To group. I have a TrippLite USB KVM switch. The docs state that Scroll_Lock Scroll_Lock will switch terminals in Windows or Linux. It doesn't work under Ubuntu.
[04:53] <gusl> hello, I just restarted my computer, and there is a sound file playing, but I cannot figure out what it is or how to kill it
[04:53] <[THC]AcidRain> .
[04:53] <[THC]AcidRain> i need help hooking and audiobox upto ubuntu
[04:53] <gusl> ps doesn't show any processes
[04:53] <[THC]AcidRain> it wont let me record anything. and im pretty sure the drivers are right
[04:53] <Jordan_U> gusl: What does it sound like?
[04:54] <Sly-FoX> !seen idleone
[04:54] <nit-wit> gusl, run top in the terminal to see running processes.
[04:54] <gusl> it's a documentary on Jeopardy and AI
[04:54] <yeik> how do i kill an x session? ctrl+alt+backspace no longer does it.
[04:54] <bastidrazor> yeik: alt sysreq k
[04:55] <g_0_0> yeik, sudo pkill Xorg
[04:55] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: echo $PATH does not include ~/bin in the newly opened terminal session?
[04:55] <yeik> bastidrazor: is there a way to do it so it doesn't restart?
[04:55] <bastidrazor> yeik: in a terminal sudo service gdm stop
[04:55] <kf7nnz> basitdrazor: Negative.
[04:55] <Jordan_U> gusl: If you open System > Preferences > Sound, then go to the Applications tab, what applications are listed if any?
[04:55] <gusl> thanks, nit-wit! There are lots of processes but none of them look suspicious to me.
[04:56] <stat1k> anyone had problems with transmission not getting peers list from trackers?
[04:56] <gusl> ... maybe npviewer.bin
[04:56] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: :~$ echo $PATH
[04:56] <kf7nnz> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[04:56] <kisuke> Jordan_U: yes, i have XBMC running on its screen
[04:56] <[THC]AcidRain> no one can help?
[04:56] <Logan_WP> !please | [THC]AcidRain
[04:56] <yeik> hmm, ok, so i killed that, then ran startx. i get a gnome-session now.
[04:57] <kisuke> Jordan_U: and it doesnot make sence, i was doing this just fine last night under the same conditions, and now it does not work
[04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> lol
[04:57] <yeik> but still issues with dpkg and binutils-multiarch
[04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> sorry
[04:57] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: http://pastebin.com/JMDvumTB   your .profile is similiar to this?
[04:57] <maodun> I'm getting warnings about packages not being authenticated when I use aptitude - how can I investigate further?
[04:57] <Gnea> ChogyDan: *interesting!!!* so I commented out the exec dbus-uuidgen --ensure line so that it would go ahead and run the exec dbus-daemon --system --fork at the end, and it kernel paniced again - but it doesn't kernel panic once the whole system is up and running
[04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> stat1k: ive had that problem.
[04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> especially from thepiratebay
[04:57] <koepi> hello folks
[04:58] <gusl> killed it! Thanks nit-wit.
[04:58] <Logan_WP> stat1k: that question would be better suited for #transmission
[04:58] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: Virtually identical except for the last 3 lines.
[04:58] <ChogyDan> Gnea: you may want to try and post here, the upstream bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575881
[04:58] <stat1k> logan_WP; thanks
[04:58] <kreppnar> haha used usb-creator-gtk to fix my usb drive...work's now
[04:58] <Logan_WP> stat1k: np
[04:58] <[THC]AcidRain> man i just wanna record music. and i dont understand why this doesnt work. i have a laptop with ubuntu on it, same versions, and it works fine
[04:58] <koepi> I have a short question. is it better to install virtualbox via the source code for gaming or is the .deb enough for that purpose?
[04:59] <yeik> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/binutils-multiarch_<IP_ADDRESS>00908-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
[04:59] <[THC]AcidRain> of course i have to change the recording device. but when i change it on this box, doesnt matter what i change it to it doesnt work
[04:59] <KGBWolf> if i cant update apt-get because my network card isnt installed how can i install kubuntu-desktop?
[04:59] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: source ~/.profile   ..that should add your ~/bin .. then try echo $PATH
[05:00] <kisuke> Jordan_U: you get that?
[05:00] <Logan_WP> !kubuntu | KGBWolf
[05:00] <ner0x> Can someone please give me a list of nullmailers for ubuntu? Thank you.
[05:00] <kylemm> lol fail
[05:00] <Jordan_U> kisuke: Yes.
[05:01] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: oh wait.. the lines about path are commented?? they have # before them?
[05:01] <kylemm> i changed my wobble friction to like 0 and it went off my screen
[05:02] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: No comments before those lines. That added bin to the beginning of the PATH. Now how do I make it do it every time I open a term?
[05:02] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: it should do it automatically.
[05:03] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: OK I'll try exiting and starting a new term.
[05:03] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: No, it doesn't add it in a new term!
[05:03] <KGBWolf> when i do ifconfig i only see lo interface
[05:04] <Jordan_U> kisuke: Walk me through all the steps that you use to try to run a program with X forwarding, up untill you get that error.
[05:04] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: comment those lines in ~/.profile and add those exact lines to .bashrc .. then try a new terminal.
[05:04] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: the newly added lines uncommented, of course.
[05:05] <Roo79> I'm trying to get chat.frostwire.com to work with empathy but all it tells me is network error? I've tried with pidgin and it works, can anyone please help I've been at this for days now!
[05:06] <yowshi> anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu?
[05:08] <Roo79> 1470 people idle in a help room?
[05:08] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: That worked!
[05:09] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: oddly now that i look at my settings i have it that way.. commented in .profile and added to .bashrc
[05:09] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: Let me run this by you: The issue I was trying to solve is with my TrippLite USB KVM. The docs state that Scroll_Lock Scroll_Lock will switch under either Windows or Linux. It doesn't work under Ubuntu.
[05:10] <ShaNayNay> Roo79, Many people do not use Empathy
[05:10] <Abinidi> raises hand
[05:10] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: I determined that the issue is Gnome isn't sending back the command to toggle the Scroll_Lock LED. The script ruens on and off the LED and this works for switching.
[05:10] <maodun> oh
[05:10] <ShaNayNay> Pidgin ftw, I even use pidgin on WIndows
[05:11] <maodun> so I'm running 8.10, which is apparently end-of-life - how can I update to something newer?
[05:11] <ShaNayNay> clean install
[05:11] <Jordan_U> !eol | maodun
[05:11] <bastidrazor> kf7nnz: no idea how to solve that. i've seen the same issue 4 years ago
[05:11] <maodun> this is command-line-only, I have no gui access nor physical access to the machine
[05:11] <paq7512> is 10.4.2 coming out the 17th?
[05:11] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: This is the script. xset led 3; sleep 1; xset -led 3
[05:11] <virtus> DD
[05:11] <Roo79> if no one uses empathy what numbscull adds it to the default install
[05:12] <ShaNayNay> paq7512, it should be listed on the Natty release schedule
[05:12] <ShaNayNay> !natty
[05:12] <xangua> paq7512: lsb_release -a , if you are using lucid
[05:12] <ShaNayNay> hmm, they don't have the link for the schedule there
[05:12] <xangua> ShaNayNay: he said LUCID
[05:12] <kf7nnz> bastidrazor: I was afraid of that. I've searched the Ubuntu forums and found no real solution (just workarounds) going back to 2004!
[05:12] <Roo79> brb
[05:13] <ShaNayNay> xangua, I can read, all of the release schedules include the release version of LTS that are coming out
[05:13] <rww> !schedule-#ubuntu+1

[05:13] <ner0x> What exactly is courier-mta?
[05:14] <yeik> here is a paste of my dpkg errors: http://pastebin.com/xbFvjXbw
[05:14] <yeik> anybody have any thoughts?
[05:14] <ShaNayNay> ner0x, Open System> Administration> Synaptic and search for that package, it will tell you what it does
[05:14] <kylemm> these effects are cool
[05:14] <maodun> can I upgrade straight from 8.10 to 10.04?
[05:15] <owen1_> anyone got a script for irssi notifications that works with 10.10? mine is broken after upgrading.
[05:15] <bazhang> maodun, no
[05:15] <rww> maodun: no. You need to do 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04, as the link ubottu gave mentions.
[05:15] <ShaNayNay> yeik, what are you trying to do, eat my database?
[05:15] <xangua> maodun: easier fres install
[05:15] <maodun> rww, bazhang, ah, thanks - i just wanted to double-check
[05:15] <yeik> ShaNayNay: i am just trying to upgrade, apparently i had a package that was all messed up and caused major issues in a dist-upgrade.
[05:15] <ShaNayNay> maodun, I'd do a fresh install, to include a new home
[05:15] <ner0x> ShaNayNay: Did that, still sort of in the grey.
[05:16] <maodun> I don't have a good way to do a fresh install
[05:16] <kisuke> Jordan_U: sorry about the delay, i have a 7 month old whos wanting attention
[05:16] <maodun> this is a remote machine
[05:16] <maodun> deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse
[05:16] <ShaNayNay> eek!
[05:16] <overclucker> maodun: is this a rented box or something?
[05:16] <yeik> ShaNayNay: that was the output of dpkg when i open a .deb it tries to repair and says its an error, should be Reading database ..
[05:16] <yowshi> anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu?
[05:16] <maodun> should codename be my current codename or my desired codename?
[05:16] <rww> maodun: your current codename
[05:17] <markoso> i got a iphone 3gs and it wont mount?
[05:17] <maodun> this is a proxy server buried in a basement
[05:17] <kisuke> Jordan_U: NVM got it, it was a problem with my ~/.Xaquthority
[05:17] <ShaNayNay> go Irongrasps
[05:18] <kisuke> Jordan_U: thanks for the help though
[05:18] <Jordan_U> kisuke: You're welcome.
[05:19] <maodun> wait, it tells me i need update-manager, but i dont want it on a CLI-server
[05:19] <maodun> so should i grab it or not?
[05:19] <xymantec> just got a new server and installing ubuntu, I wanna make a cloud :)
[05:19] <markoso> why does ubuntu not support one of the most poplular phones ?
[05:19] <rww> maodun: there should be do-release-upgrade instructions in there somewhere
[05:20] <maodun> rww: i'm following the instructions, they're a bit ambiguous to me
[05:20] <maodun> # update-manager is something you don't want to install on cli servers
[05:20] <rww> maodun: oh, I see. Yeah, you just want update-manager-core, not update-manager
[05:20] <maodun> From version 6.06 and up you will need to install the update-manager and update-manager-core packages.
[05:20] <maodun> ahh
[05:20] <maodun> ok
[05:20] <maodun> so just the core
[05:20] <maodun> ok
[05:20] <FloodBot2> maodun: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:20] <rww> maodun: update-manager-core contains do-release-upgrade, which is the program you'll be using to go from one version to another.
[05:20] <markoso> wow it just worked
[05:21] <xymantec> can you windows environments on EC2?
[05:21] <rww> (the GUI folks use update-manager instead)
[05:21] <JoeMofknDot2> hey I'm installing the alternate install and I think it has hung @ 5% on select and install software its been there 30 mins
[05:21] <Jordan_U> !ot | xymantec
[05:21] <maodun> rww: ah, now i understand. thanks
[05:21] <xymantec> oh had no idea
[05:23] <Jantaro> hey people, my good friend PiemanXC wants some help regarding theme customization for gnome, perhaps someone could help him
[05:23] <Jordan_U> !ask | PiemanXC
[05:24] <PiemanXC> More specifically, I'd like to change specific colors of things like menus and change individual icons rather than icon sets
[05:24] <PiemanXC> It doesn't seem there are a lot of customization options in gnome
[05:24] <vish> PiemanXC: you can change those individually, but there is no GUI
[05:25] <PiemanXC> vish: How would I accomplish that, then?
[05:25] <vish> PiemanXC: you can edit the theme's gtkrc to edit the menu color, or replace the icons in the icon set. and you also need patience ;)
[05:26] <maodun> erg, i need to reboot this machine, but all i have is an ssh connection... anything i should check to be sure i'll be able to log in again upon reboot?
[05:26] <PiemanXC> Alright then.

[05:28] <Abinidi> will update manager wait for the stable release of the next upgrade (from Maverick) before it acts?
[05:28] <xangua> yes Abinidi
[05:28] <yowshi> anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu?
[05:28] <Abinidi> xangua: thank you
[05:28] <xangua> that if you don't force it to upgrade to the unstable version
[05:30] <maodun> let me ask this, do i really need to reboot after each upgrade, or can i just reboot after the last?
[05:30] <KGBWolf> how can i set ubuntu 10.04 LTS server to a certain date and not update date and time?
[05:30] <Abinidi> << no forcing for me.  I'm just getting Maverick tuned up the way I want it.  ;)
[05:30] <pksadiq> Any command line tool to repair bad sector of hard disk?
[05:30] <Akjj> Hello. I am having permission problems. I am a member of a group and the group owns the dir. The dir has "chmod 775" done to it. Why can't I do "echo "test" > test" in the dir?
[05:30] <ShaNayNay> Abinidi, you can set your Software Sources to never offer an upgrade
[05:32] <Abinidi> ShaNayNay: I don't think I need to do that.  But I sure didin't want update manager doing an update that was going to crash me for some reason or another.
[05:32] <ShaNayNay> lol, understood
[05:33] <Akjj> Anyone want to help me figure out my permission problems?
[05:34] <jim__> Hi I have a problem, my laptop has a button to turn off the touchpad, i did so, and when i turned it back on, it no longer works, i can log in as root, adn the mousepad works fine, or use an external usb mouse, but the touchpad no longer functions logged into my normal user account, any help would be appreciated
[05:34] <Abinidi> !DETAILS | Akjj
[05:34] <Akjj> Hello. I am having permission problems. I am a member of a group and the group owns the dir. The dir has "chmod 775" done to it. Why can't I do "echo "test" > test" in the dir?
[05:34] <sacarlson> Akjj: are you sure your chmod action was a success?  ls -l -d /path/of/dir/,  if it's ntfs file system it won't change
[05:35] <ShaNayNay> Akjj, with permission of 5, you can't write
[05:35] <Akjj> ls -al raid
[05:35] <Akjj> shows that the group does own it
[05:35] <Akjj> ShaNayNay: Since I am a member of the group the second 7 should give me rwx, right?
[05:35] <kyo> sth was wrong when adding new fonts to utuntu10.10,how to fix it,thx!
[05:36] <The_Pharoah> i want to change my login screen, already downloaded files from the website but i dont know how to change it
[05:36] <overclucker> 775 is is write for members of group as well
[05:36] <chipmink> how do i restore the printer menu item
[05:36] <sacarlson> Akjj: in most cases yes,  posible but not likely is apparmor settings
[05:36] <ShaNayNay> unless there is an error and his/her account isn't part of the group
[05:36] <Akjj> Right. And when I do a ls it shows that group. When I do groups username it shows the group
[05:36] <Akjj> I do not have apparmor
[05:37] <ShaNayNay> The_Pharoah, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-do-you-change-the-boot-splash-screen-image-for-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[05:37] <KGBWolf> how can i auto run a command on login?
[05:37] <sacarlson> Akjj: also what if the test file already existed with perms of ?  does the file already exist in the dir?
[05:37] <Akjj> KGBWolf: look into /etc/init.d I think
[05:37] <ShaNayNay> add it to startup applications
[05:37] <Akjj> sacarlson: It does not. I also ran chmod 775 raid -R
[05:38] <ShaNayNay> add it to startup applications KGBWolf
[05:38] <Akjj> So I own all subfolders / files
[05:38] <Jordan_U> KGBWolf: System > Preferences > Startup Applications.
[05:38] <sacarlson> Akjj: apparmor is installed as default in ubuntu so saying you don't have it is probly wrong
[05:38] <Akjj> * if not obvious raid is the directory.
[05:38] <KGBWolf> ShaNayNay how would i save the custom command for example date xxxxxxxxx
[05:38] <Akjj> Package name to remove?
[05:38] <Abinidi> ShaNayNay: will those instruction for changing plymouth work for Maverick also?
[05:39] <Akjj> I started with ubuntu server and installed from there. I really have almost nothing
[05:39] <yowshi> anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu?
[05:39] <ShaNayNay> Abinidi, yes, I have used it on 10.10
[05:39] <Akjj> We're talking I didn't even choose the lamp setup and added the amp part myself.
[05:39] <Abinidi> ShaNayNay: thanks!
[05:40] <sacarlson> Akjj: how is the directory mounted?  read only?   check mount
[05:40] <Akjj> sacarlson: It is not read only. The user that owns it can read and write
[05:40] <ShaNayNay> KGBWolf, use gedit to create a script with the command you want, then run chmod +x on the file then add it to statup applications
[05:40] <taran> How to resolve this ERROR http://paste.ubuntu.com/567214/
[05:40] <ShaNayNay> KGBWolf, you may have to fiddle with it
[05:41] <ShaNayNay> hard to explain without screenies
[05:41] <Akjj> taran: get some internet :) ... sudo dhclient might be a good start.
[05:41] <sacarlson> Akjj: well try 777
[05:41] <Akjj> sacarlson: But that is damn unsafe
[05:41] <chipmink> how do i restore the print menu item to the system administration menu?
[05:41] <Akjj> I'll do it for a sec just to see of course...
[05:41] <sacarlson> Akjj: just to test, you can always change it back
[05:42] <taran> Akjj: im a newbie but command line interface work only after asking for username and password. I have added username & password in apt.conf
[05:42] <Akjj> sacarlson: As expected, yes I then get r/w access. But that isn't a good solution to me
[05:42] <ShaNayNay> What number does one use to get the S for super?
[05:42] <ShaNayNay> in a chmod
[05:42] <ShaNayNay> or is it even possible to use the number
[05:42] <ShaNayNay> scheme
[05:43] <ShaNayNay> Akjj it depends on whether others use the system or not
[05:43] <Akjj> ShaNayNay: This is running ubuntu server. It is an NAS
[05:43] <Akjj> It is accessable to anyone on my rather large network if I screw up
[05:43] <sacarlson> Akjj: the in cli  what does whoami  say you are?
[05:44] <ShaNayNay> taran, you have no network connection
[05:44] <Akjj> sacarlson: it gives my username
[05:44] <Akjj> As expected
[05:44] <taran> ShaNayNay: But then how I can download using Synaptic?
[05:45] <ShaNayNay> taran, you can't without internet
[05:46] <Akjj> Actually, on second examination, I can edit already existing files but not create new. sacarlson, sorry for not adequatly testing that already
[05:46] <ShaNayNay> taran, what brand network card does it have?
[05:46] <KGBWolf> just installed kubuntu-desktop how can i make it auto start on boot?
[05:46] <taran> ShaNayNay: I can browse using Mozilla all the sites
[05:46] <nit-wit> KGBWolf, from login window
[05:46] <sacarlson> Akjj: Akjj and this is with 777?
[05:46] <ShaNayNay> nit-wit
[05:46] <Akjj> No, with 775
[05:46] <taran> ShaNayNay: Im in my institute which provided internet from a lease line through a proxy
[05:46] <Akjj> I already tested 777 and can create etc etc
[05:47] <nit-wit> ShaNayNay, yes
[05:47] <Akjj> But back to 775 because I can't run a 777 dir accessable via samba
[05:47] <chipmink> how do i restore the print menu item to the system administration menu?
[05:47] <ShaNayNay> nit-wit, I just felt like saying it
[05:47] <jim__> Anyone have a suggestion? Mouse will not move using touchpad under normal user, if I log in as root it works fine, it was always working until I turned off the touchpad via button over it briefly.
[05:47] <ShaNayNay> without harassing anyone
[05:48] <nit-wit> ShaNayNay, thats okay I practice it.:)

[05:53] <econ> yeah, from what i've seen it is what a DHCPv6 client would send to a DHCPv6 server. I'm not running a server though so I don't get why I"m seeing it
[05:53] <Akjj> Not to my knowledge g_0_0
[05:53] <ShaNayNay> what does +t do?
[05:53] <ShaNayNay> !+t
[05:53] <KGBWolf> at login screen when i authenticate the credential screen dissapears then comes back and im not logged into my desktop enviorment
[05:53] <g_0_0> akjj - sticky bit
[05:54] <dtrf4837> if i want to learn programming should i install desktop or server?
[05:54] <Akjj> g_0_0: So I should run that?
[05:54] <overclucker> dtrf4837: doesn't matter which
[05:54] <g_0_0> akjj, here this will explain it
[05:54] <Akjj> dtrf4837: Desktop has all the functionality server does. Go with whichever makes you comfortable. I use server because I prefer sshing in from my windows box
[05:54] <g_0_0> http://www.techcuriosity.com/resources/linux/advanced_file_permissions_in_linux.php
[05:55] <Akjj> g_0_0: Ah, thank you very much
[05:55] <Starminn> ShaNayNay: man chmod and it'll tell you
[05:56] <g_0_0> Akjj, this may be better - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit
[05:56] <hn> hi how to make a shellscript execute on boot up of a mchine
[05:56] <dtrf4837> thanks Akjj
[05:57] <sam9089> my cyberlink webcam of laptop is not working ,i already installed cheese...........what should i do..............
[05:58] <Starminn> !webcam | sam9089: Have you read through this? ---
[05:58] <xangua> sam9089: how about you use an updated and supported distro, not one that used kde3
[05:58] <ShaNayNay> Starminn, thanx
[05:58] <ShaNayNay> doesn't 910 use kde3?
[05:58] <sam9089> yeah..............its not satisfactory
[05:59] <ecinx3> is there a good programming tutorial, app?
[05:59] <ecinx3> interactive, or animation or etc..
[05:59] <Starminn> ShaNayNay: Sure thing. I, like you, often asked, "What's the $extension do?" and every response I got was to either "man it, infot it, whatis it, or apropos it" (usually one of the above)
[05:59] <sam9089> actually........my cam is working (clicking) but it is not showing the pics
[06:00] <Starminn> info* -- For quick answers, I suggest "whatis" but for the +t and such you're asking, man or info. Works every time ShaNayNay. :)
[06:00] <dohkogt> hi
[06:00] <dohkogt> o/
[06:00] <dohkogt> i have a question, any here to help?
[06:01] <sam9089> yup
[06:01] <ShaNayNay> I used to know what the S in permissions ment, but me forgot, something like super
[06:01] <dohkogt> sam9089: thanks XD
[06:01] <sacarlson> Akjj: so the sticky bit was set?
[06:01] <Akjj> Actually, no
[06:01] <Starminn> dohkogt: Plenty of people. Ask away, preferably all on one line so we can follow easily
[06:01] <Akjj> I've been playing around to make sure before I asked again
[06:01] <MACscr> how do i know if im using pulseaudio and its configured correctly? my microphone sucks in most apps,
[06:01] <sam9089> whats ur question
[06:02] <Akjj> But no, setting / unsetting / recursively and not in whatever combinations in the end doesn't actually change the issue
[06:02] <dohkogt> sam9089: i want to become Ubuntu Member, how I do this, you know?
[06:02] <sacarlson> Akjj: if it was I would think the dir would look like 1777 or s777
[06:02] <Akjj> sorry g_0_0, didn't quite work
[06:02] <Akjj> sacarlson: actually, the permissions show a t at the end
[06:02] <ShaNayNay> dohkogt, there is a nice big wiki on it
[06:02] <iszak> So I want to remove mysql-server but when I reinstall it, it's still using the same configuration, I've tried using --purge but it doesn't seem to work
[06:02] <Akjj> instead of drwxrwsr-x
[06:02] <ShaNayNay> !member
[06:02] <ShaNayNay> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^there
[06:03] <dohkogt> ShaNayNay: ubottu hey thanks for the link :)
[06:03] <ShaNayNay> no problem
[06:03] <sacarlson> Akjj: that's if you put it in rwx format, not sure what it becomes in number mode
[06:03] <ShaNayNay> I've been slowly working on my application
[06:03] <Akjj> oh, yeah, it is 1775
[06:03] <Akjj> Anyways. Any other ideas here?
[06:03] <ShaNayNay> Akjj, other than pulling the plug?
[06:04] <ShaNayNay> just kiddin
[06:04] <Akjj> ShaNayNay: We've already established this is a net accessable server.
[06:04] <Akjj> Not an option to even reboot
[06:04] <ShaNayNay> like I said, just kiddin
[06:04] <ShaNayNay> have you started a thread on UF?
[06:04] <sacarlson> Akjj: so is that what you see then 1775?  then the sticky bit is set?
[06:05] <ShaNayNay> there are a few nerds there that may be able to help
[06:05] <Akjj> sacarlson: The last few things I said to you were just information unrelated to my problem but related to sticky bits. No, the sticky bit is not set on mine. Yes I am pretty sure
[06:05] <AndrewX192> Anyone know why a bad sector would not be able to be re-mapped? (Is this possibly a disk issue in itself - eg firmware fail?)
[06:06] <Jordan_U> AndrewX192: Because there are no more extra good sectors left.
[06:06] <Jordan_U> AndrewX192: Consider the drive to be on its last legs, back up now.
[06:06] <ShaNayNay> time for a new HDD before all the data gets lost
[06:06] <AndrewX192> Jordan_U: there are plenty of good sectors though
[06:07] <Gnea> AndrewX192: you should still backup.
[06:07] <AndrewX192> I have 2X Segate ENTERPRISE grade drives on delivery right now, I'm just wondering what's up
[06:07] <Jordan_U> AndrewX192: Drives internally keep extra sectors which are not normally used, to be used when a sector dies for some reason.
[06:07] <dohkogt> thanks guys for the link, Greetings From Guatemala :)
[06:08] <dohkogt> bye
[06:08] <optimus> gnea: need some help my radeon card is messed up. I cant even add line radeon.modeset=1 in my grub file kicks out error unknow command and i dont think acceleration is enabled.
[06:08] <AndrewX192> Jordan_U: I'm seeing about 150 bad sectors on the disk in question via `badblocks`, but SMART only reports 6 sectors that are pending remapping.
[06:09] <Jordan_U> AndrewX192: You don't just reduce the capacity of the drive by one sector. Once the drive runs out of extra sectors you're out of luck.
[06:10] <optimus> there might even be more then one graphics driver installed all i need is radeon but i have intel glx and all sorts of other awesomeness mixed in my koolaid
[06:10] <AndrewX192> Jordan_U: how are "extra sectors" defined?
[06:10] <ghm33> hi how do i add more of those wallpapers that change automatically
[06:10] <Jordan_U> AndrewX192: Internally. Within the drive and not exposed directly when accessing the drive normally.
[06:11] <Gnea> optimus: how are you trying to add it to grub?
[06:11] <AndrewX192> Jordan_U: uhoh. I guess that's why, I guess I can partiion around the bad blocks
[06:12] <optimus> gnea: well under grub commands where it says 'quiet-splash' radeon.modeset=1 then i do sudo update-grub and i get error unknown command radeon.modeset=
[06:12] <Jordan_U> AndrewX192: You can, rather you use e2fsck -c, but once the drive is at this point you can expect data loss as more sectors go bad, and eventually the drive simply fails completely.
[06:13] <Gnea> optimus: so you're adding it to /etc/default/grub ?
[06:13] <optimus> basically nano to /etc/default/grub then
[06:13] <Gnea> okay
[06:13] <optimus> gnea: beat me too it
[06:13] <ShaNayNay> ghm33, that is a hard task but look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4992430&postcount=4
[06:14] <Jordan_U> optimus: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub?
[06:14] <mah454> why i can not download this file : http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wp-content/videos/ep001.ogv
[06:14] <AndrewX192> Jordan_U: I can just RMA the drive then when I get my new drives.
[06:14] <ghm33> thanks ShaNayNay i find it odd that there are already existing default wallpapers and we cant either make our own or find more to add
[06:14] <Gnea> optimus: try just:  modeset=1
[06:14] <optimus> jordan_u sure thing where would you like it pasted at
[06:14] <optimus> gnea: ill try
[06:14] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | optimus
[06:15] <xangua> save video as mah454
[06:15] <ShaNayNay> ghm33 the coding they use is a pain for us non coding guys
[06:15] <Gnea> mah454: working fine here, open a terminal and type:  wget http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wp-content/videos/ep001.ogv
[06:15] <Eliotim> hi guys not ubuntu specific, but im trying to generate an environment variable with the value of ' " ' (a double quote char) without using it, tried print \\42, it prints ' " " but actually returns '\42', any creative ideas?
[06:15] <optimus> gnea: that works
[06:15] <ghm33> ShaNayNay: oh ok thanks
[06:15] <Gnea> optimus: cheers
[06:16] <Gnea> optimus: apparently, different distributions handle it differently - if radeon.modeset= doesn't work, just drop radeon.
[06:16] <mah454> stay  here : HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
[06:17] <mah454> not continue ... !
[06:17] <Gnea> mah454: could be a bad route on your end
[06:17] <Gnea> mah454:  75% [[06:17] <optimus> gnea: willl this fix my desktop problem also? pretty much i have the menu bar at the bottom of the screen but its also at the top distorted when i click applications it pops the menu to the top of the screen and when i exit applications, it leaves behind a white window
[06:17] <Akjj> sacarlson: g_0_0: problem solved. I closed that ssh and did a fresh session. Appearently a user doesn't get added to a group instantly. All better now
[06:18] <Akjj> I should have thought to try that much earlier
[06:18] <Shagneagnea> ghm33 no problem, I had seen an app for doing that before, but have no clue where
[06:18] <Gnea> optimus: I can't say for sure, you'll have to determine that when it comes back up
[06:18] <optimus> okay give me a few to reboot :0
[06:20]  * Gnea eyes ShaNeyNay suspiciously
[06:21]  * ShaNeyNay guesses you didn't iggy me afterall
[06:22] <sam9089>  Shagneagnea@ i have a compaq laptop and its cam is not working even after installation of cheese
[06:23] <Eliotim> hi guys how can i set a variable with the output of a given command?
[06:23] <juk> sam9089: did you try to recompile module?
[06:23] <sam9089> which module
[06:24] <ShaNeyNay> sam9089, I'm not that great at getting webcams to work, outside of installing Cheese
[06:24] <MagicJ> how do I tell ubuntu not to make that annoying noise when I sign on?
[06:24] <sam9089> k........
[06:24] <juk> !easycam | sam9089
[06:24] <sam9089> easycam .........whats it
[06:25] <juk> sam9089: im not sure if it's still working, you might give it a shot https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam
[06:25] <ShaNeyNay> MagicJ go to System Preferences Startup Applications and find the gnome login sound listed there and disable it
[06:27] <MagicJ> ShaNeyNay: ty - knew it was easy just could not remember where
[06:28] <running_rabbit07> Awesome
[06:29] <^Phantom^> firefox needs to die
[06:29] <TheMusicGuy> Does anyone here have any experience running Ubuntu inside of VirtualBox from a WIndows 7 host? In particular, relating to problems with hardware-accelerated graphics?
[06:30] <juk> ^Phantom^: just pkill it
[06:30] <Akjj> TheMusicGuy: Yeah,. What are you trying to do?
[06:30] <ardchoille> I'm on Ubuntu 10.10, just accidentally pressed Super+A and it zoomed out to show all windows. Where can I find more commands like that?
[06:31] <running_rabbit07> TheMusicGuy, are you trying to run Unity?
[06:31] <juk> !nvidia | TheMusicGuy:
[06:31] <ardchoille> s/commands/kb shortcuts/
[06:31] <TheMusicGuy> juk, this has nothing to do with any of those cards
[06:31] <Tanvir> Hello, how can I edit .db file in Ubuntu?
[06:32] <Akjj> Tanvir: Many apps produce .db files. What produced it?
[06:32] <TheMusicGuy> Akjj, I'm trying to mix a dual-boot configuration with a virtualization configuration.
[06:32] <Tanvir> Akjj, I don't know. :S
[06:32] <juk> TheMusicGuy: hm
[06:32] <g_0_0> TheMusicGuy, have you installed the guest extensions?
[06:32] <Akjj> Do you know anything else about the file other than the extension?
[06:32] <TheMusicGuy> Akjj, I want Ubuntu to use the ATI drivers when its running on physical hardware but Vbox drivers when its in Vbox.
[06:33] <TheMusicGuy> g_0_0, yes
[06:33] <running_rabbit07> TheMusicGuy, are you trying to run Unity?
[06:33] <Tanvir> Akjj, no, can you tell me, how can I find out those?
[06:33] <TheMusicGuy> running_rabbit07, I don't know what that is
[06:33] <running_rabbit07> ok, just checking
[06:33] <Akjj> TheMusicGuy: You can't really do anything to stop it from using Vbox drivers in the vbos
[06:33] <Akjj> vbox
[06:33] <Taffy> ardchoille thx i tried that didn't know can press windows + a and get all windows thx
[06:33] <mneptok> TheMusicGuy: Vbox does not provide access to your hardware to a guest OS. instead, it presents a custom video interface for guest OSes. you cannot just install the driver for your video hardware in a VBox guest.
[06:33] <Akjj> Tanvir: Well, what's the use of a random file if you don't know where it came from or what's in it?
[06:33] <Akjj> I'm a little confused about that
[06:34] <ardchoille> Taffy: try also super+w, super+e
[06:34] <g_0_0> TheMusicGuy, and did you set hardware acceleration in VirtualBox itself for the ubuntu machine?
[06:34] <ardchoille> Taffy: I'd love to learn more but don't know where anymore are
[06:34] <Taffy> nice
[06:34] <Taffy> tried it thx alot
[06:34] <TheMusicGuy> g_0_0, yes
[06:34] <lk> compiz fusion
[06:34] <Tanvir> Akjj, I know what's in it. It's a bot's database.
[06:34] <TheMusicGuy> The problem is that it seems like the ATI drivers are conflicting with the Vbox drivers
[06:34] <Akjj> Ah, it might be mysql or similar
[06:35] <Taffy> ardchoille learn something new everyday :)
[06:35] <Tanvir> Akjj, probably.
[06:35] <Akjj> If you cat it or open it in a text editor does it make human readable sense? If so can you paste the first short chunk or something?
[06:35] <ardchoille> Taffy: indeed. these seem to be part of compiz
[06:35] <TheMusicGuy> the Vbox hardware accelleration only seems to work if the ATI drivers are not installed.
[06:35] <lk> ati is not open source
[06:35] <mneptok> Akjj: unlikely. more like Berkeley DB or somesuch.
[06:35] <juk> lk: non are
[06:36] <Akjj> mneptok: *shrug. My .db files are usually dumps of mysql dbs. Depends on circumstances somewhat.
[06:36] <Akjj> All the same, Tanvir, checking the first bit might show a human readable header with more info about the file
[06:36] <Tanvir> Akjj, it doesn't open with gedit.
[06:36] <SkyVodka> Akjj did you find the fix to your permissions issue yet?
[06:37] <Tanvir> Akjj, but I tried worked cat, it worked.. but nothing useful I think..
[06:37] <ardchoille> you can run a .db file through the strings command to possibly get the strings inside the .db:  strings file.db
[06:37] <Akjj> SkyVodka: Yes. I needed to do a new ssh session to actually become a member of the group. Log out log in >.<
[06:37] <SkyVodka> Dooh!
[06:37] <SkyVodka> glad it turned out to be easy
[06:37] <Tanvir> Akjj, The texts are all cluttered. :S
[06:37] <Akjj> Tanvir: Yeah, strings file.db . Good idea ardchoille
[06:37] <Akjj> * strings file.db | less
[06:38] <mneptok> Akjj: dumps, yes. active databases, no. MySQL does not use the .db file extension
[06:38] <Akjj> mneptok: Sure it does.  You name files in the way that makes sense to you
[06:38] <ardchoille> mneptok: ah, thank you for that
[06:39] <A_User> hi, following the instructions on ubuntu.org, i applied the grub-install on a pc, first i used /usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda1
[06:39] <Tanvir> Akjj, you want me type "* strings filename.db | less " ?
[06:39] <^Phantom^> Other than firefox crashing up the system when large images are opened within it, I absolutely love ubuntu.
[06:40] <TheMusicGuy> I figure I can put a script into rc.local that uses imvirt to detect whether the system is running in virtualbox or on physical hardware, then create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf that uses whichever drivers are needed to get hardware accelleration for the current system type (Physical or VirtualBox)
[06:40] <Akjj> Tanvir: No. Try typing "strings filename.db | less" (no star) and see if there's anything useful in the output.
[06:40] <A_User> but then i discovered that this was the wrong drive so i did  /usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda, this worked; BUT... now when i boot my pc the drive corresponding to sda1 i.e. c drive in windows is not available !!!!
[06:40] <A_User> how can i undo it
[06:40] <TheMusicGuy> Problem is I dont know how to make an xorg.conf that uses the vbox drivers, and they don't seem to work automatically when ATI drivers are installed
[06:40] <Tanvir> Akjj, yes, I got a list.
[06:40] <Akjj> A_User: You can boot into windows?
[06:40] <SkyVodka> ^Phantom^, are you short on RAM?
[06:40] <Akjj> If you can boot the C: drive should be there
[06:41] <Akjj> *can boot into windows
[06:41] <^Phantom^> SkyVodka, no
[06:41] <^Phantom^> I have 1.5GB
[06:41] <Akjj> Tanvir: Anything that might hint at the program that made it or such?
[06:41] <^Phantom^> 2GHz pc, too
[06:41] <Akjj> If you wanted to pastebin it I could look
[06:41] <ardchoille> ^Phantom^: have you tried chromium yet? I found it to be much faster and doesn't crash
[06:41] <lighta> ^Phantom^ why don't you try other navigator like chronium ?
[06:41] <^Phantom^> Is this FF crash bug common?
[06:41] <SkyVodka> I have had my RAM get loaded after loading too much porn without closing Firefox to clear the cache
[06:42] <Tanvir> Akjj, it's list of site that the bot will work on
[06:42] <lighta> flash vid ?
[06:42] <Akjj> ^Phantom^: I use lynx on my comp with 128MB of ram and 1 ghz proc. It's great. Never crashes
[06:42] <Tanvir> Akjj,  I need to edit that list
[06:42] <lighta> yeah I had it alot
[06:42] <^Phantom^> This'll happen even on a fresh boot
[06:42] <Taffy> ardchoille did u try windows + m neat
[06:42] <Akjj> Tanvir: If it isn't sensative you could upload the file and i could try looking at it
[06:42] <ardchoille> Taffy: ugh, it's like film negatives!
[06:42] <SkyVodka> ^Phantom^, that isn't kool then, does Chrome give you those issues
[06:43] <A_User> Akjj: NO
[06:43] <^Phantom^> I haven't tried Chrome
[06:43] <lighta> or opera
[06:43] <Akjj> A_User: Sorry, mind explaining the issue better. Will windows boot?
[06:43] <A_User> Akjj: when i try selecting windows in grub during restart, it again shows grub menu !!!
[06:43] <^Phantom^> I'll be okay.  I take note of what sites crash it.
[06:43] <Akjj> Ah
[06:43] <Akjj> Okay
[06:43] <Tanvir> Akjj, where to upload?
[06:43] <Taffy> ardchoille on this computer it makes what i see brighter can see better
[06:43] <SkyVodka> ^Phantom^, same here
[06:43] <Akjj> A_User: Is it xp or windows 7?
[06:44] <Akjj> Tanvir: I like mediafire. Wherever though
[06:44] <A_User> Akjj: yes
[06:44] <lighta> for flash player I often had crash with firefox
[06:44] <kisuke> any one know of a was to mass rename a set of files?
[06:44] <SkyVodka> People still use xp?
[06:44] <Akjj> A_User: Which one
[06:44] <A_User> Akjj: XP SP2
[06:44] <^Phantom^> The biggest pic I dare open in FF is 1280x1024
[06:44] <maco> kisuke: use the rename command
[06:44] <ardchoille> Taffy: might be monitor dependent then, makes all my windows invert colors
[06:44] <^Phantom^> any bigger and LOCKUP
[06:44] <Akjj> A_User: Okay. Do you have the windows install disk? You might have to run fixmbr from the recovery console
[06:44] <SkyVodka> yup
[06:44] <maco> kisuke: rename 's/.html/.php/' *.html
[06:44] <kisuke> maco: just rename fiel1 file2?
[06:44] <^Phantom^> you too, SkyVodka?
[06:44] <Akjj> A_User: I haven't worked with xp in a bit so my command might be slightly off
[06:44] <ardchoille> hi maco
[06:44] <SkyVodka> I haven't tried a pic that big in a while
[06:44] <A_User> Akjj: even on ubuntu, in places i don't see my c drive partition !!!
[06:45] <^Phantom^> But you get the same problem, SkyVodka ?
[06:45] <SkyVodka> freeporndumpster poops itself with files that big
[06:45] <maco> kisuke: that command would rename all the html files to be php files, for example
[06:45] <SkyVodka> nope
[06:45] <asdfqwer> is there a way to set the --geometry for gnome-terminal in your profile?
[06:45] <maco> SkyVodka: uh, could you please keep it family-friendly?
[06:45] <SkyVodka> yes sir
[06:45] <Akjj> A_User: I'm pretty sure that you just overwrote the windows boot information. And running "fixmbr" and "fixboot" from the xp recovery console should be a good idea.
[06:45] <kisuke> maco: i have the rename page up, gime a minute to wrap my mind atround it :P
[06:46] <A_User> Akjj: i agree, but why the drive is not being shown in ubuntu?
[06:46] <lighta> A_User, there no logical partition on ubuntu
[06:46] <Tanvir> Akjj, here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c53emccmk9c4gy9
[06:46] <Taffy> ardchoille think your right inverted everything in all my windows even web
[06:47] <A_User> Akjj: ok, but when i goto places, and select computer
[06:47] <Akjj> A_User: Are you sure it isn't? It won't show as C. If you mount sdaNUMBER do any of them have your data on it?
[06:47] <A_User> Akjj: I can see others, but not the one that is identified as C in windows
[06:47] <Akjj> Tanvir: It's an SQLite database
[06:47] <ardchoille> Taffy: I think all of these are compiz stuff. I remember seeing that inversion when I ran full compiz/fusion icon
[06:48] <Tanvir> Akjj, yes.
[06:48] <Akjj> Tanvir: Version 3 if that helps. That's the most recent version
[06:48] <A_User> Akjj: no such entry either
[06:48] <Akjj> Well, you can open that with the sqlite binary
[06:48] <Tanvir> Akjj, what should I install?
[06:48] <lk> linux can see the windows disks,but windows can`t see the linux disks
[06:48] <Akjj> http://www.sqlite.org/download.html
[06:48] <Akjj> A_User: Hmm... Are you comfy with the terminal? I'd manually mount your devices and check em
[06:49] <Akjj> It might just not be showing for some strange reason.
[06:49] <A_User> Akjj: ok
[06:49] <Akjj> I don't trust file managers anymore tbh
[06:49] <lighta> lk, you should install 3d programs for windows like ext2read
[06:49] <Tanvir> Akjj, is there a command to run from terminal?
[06:49] <lk> oh..i don`t know that,ths
[06:50] <Akjj> Tanvir: sudo apt-get install sqlite3
[06:50] <lighta> lk, well depend on your file system of course, but windows can only see ntfs and fat32, so any other need 3d tool
[06:50] <Akjj> Tanvir: This might be tricky if you don't know SQL syntax. For example "SELECT * FROM `data` WHERE `name`="bob";
[06:50] <mneptok> Akjj: the MySQL/MariaDB storage engine you use can most certainly care about file name extensions.
[06:51] <mneptok> (e.g. MyISAM)
[06:51] <paris> Hi folks! how to download youtube file in linux?
[06:51] <Akjj> paris: there are a dozen firefox extensions etc for that
[06:51] <juk> !youtube
[06:51] <Tanvir> Akjj, all I need to do is modify that list.
[06:51] <juk> paris: can't you watch in totem
[06:51] <Akjj> Tanvir: .. mmkay.
[06:52] <Tanvir> Akjj, I've installed SQLite, now, how to open?
[06:52] <paris> Akjj! I use google-chrome, so in this case what I should do?
[06:52] <Akjj> paris: As one example: http://www.downloadhelper.net/ I think owrs
[06:52] <Akjj> *works
[06:52] <Akjj> paris: There are http://tips.webdesign10.com/youtube-downloader-linux
[06:53] <Akjj> Tanvir: You can probably run sqlite file.db or similar
[06:53] <Akjj> and then you'll be taken to a prompt where you'll get to type all that fun SQL stuff
[06:53] <juk> paris: there is also websites like ^, irrelevant you on linux or windows
[06:54] <star3am> hallo all, can anyone help, what does this mean ?
[06:54] <star3am> The mapping for this reverse DNS entry is failing because the PTR record doesn't match the A record for that domain. We currently require the forward A record to match the PTR record for all reverse DNS entries.

[06:58] <Takagami> Thanks unottu!!
[06:58] <SkyVodka> he aid unottu
[06:58] <SkyVodka> said*
[06:58] <Tanvir> Akjj, it says "database is locked"
[06:59] <Takagami> oops...
[06:59] <Takagami> :-)
[06:59] <Akjj> Well, that's out of my range of experience. I haven't worked with sqlite in a few years
[06:59] <Akjj> Ever since I switched to mysql for EVERYTHING.
[06:59] <nuhair> hi guys i'ill use ubuntu for server and dekstop .. must i install version server first ??
[06:59] <Akjj> nuhair: No. YOu can install desktop
[06:59] <Akjj> And then later add everything you need via apt-get install
[07:00] <SkyVodka> install desktop first, then install the series you need afterwards
[07:00] <nuhair> jazakallahu khairan
[07:00] <Akjj> alternatively you can install server and then do apt-get install gnome-desktop or whatever it is
[07:00] <Tanvir> Akjj, i went to the directory then tried "sqlite filename.db"
[07:00] <Tanvir> Is that okay?
[07:00] <nuhair> ok , thanks
[07:00] <lk> ra single should cehange to rw single init=bin/bash, someone said
[07:01] <A_User> Akjj: Sorry, there was some problem with the network
[07:01] <Akjj> Tanvir: Looks fine to me
[07:01] <A_User> Akjj: I am back
[07:01] <Akjj> Any progress?
[07:01] <Takagami> Well ih ad a question about the motd.d update stuff... but i figured it out! hehehe
[07:01] <A_User> Akjj: you wanted to perform certain command line operations
[07:01] <Tanvir> Akjj, then it says:
[07:01] <Tanvir> SQLite version 2.8.17
[07:01] <Tanvir> Enter ".help" for instructions
[07:01] <Tanvir> sqlite>
[07:01] <FloodBot3> Tanvir: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:02] <Akjj> Tanvir: Yeah, I'm out of help I think. Read up on SQL syntax. Figure it out. Your question was the format and we figured that out. Beyond that is not really a ubuntu question any more
[07:02] <Akjj> A_User: The commands I suggested rely on you getting to the windows recovery console. That means you need to have a windows xp install / recovery disk
[07:02] <Akjj> Do you?
[07:02] <Tanvir> Akjj, okay, thanks a lot.
[07:03] <A_User> Akjj: i dont have any recovery disk
[07:03] <Akjj> :|
[07:03] <A_User> Akjj: does grub-install simply removes a partitiion
[07:04] <Akjj> No
[07:04] <A_User> Akjj: then why it isn't available
[07:04] <Akjj> It writes over the boot information (MBR or partition boot sector)
[07:04] <trollgod> does the command find work off a cache?
[07:04] <maco> trollgod: no. locate does.
[07:04] <A_User> Akjj: is there a way out, if i don't have a recovery disk for XP
[07:04] <trollgod> maco: thanks
[07:05] <Diverdude> Lets say i have installed  a program A on ubuntu using apt-get. The packet manager finds out there is an update to the program that takes up for example 54MB. Does the update then take 54MB more from the harddisk besides what program A already fills up on the harddisk or are some parts of the program removed first so that the 54MB is just replacing some parts of the old program or what actually happens?
[07:05] <Akjj> A_User: There are alternatives to it.
[07:05] <A_User> Akjj: can u please suggest, which are those
[07:06] <Akjj> A_User: I think super grub disk might have support for it?
[07:06] <A_User> Akjj: I did n't get u
[07:06] <juk> Diverdude: not necessarily, depends on package/update
[07:06] <Akjj> A_User: Sec, looking
[07:07] <Akjj> A_User: Yes, Super Grub Disk should help. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Howto_Boot_Windows_without_problems

[07:16] <Jordan_U> boxbeatsy: When you run what in the background?
[07:16] <A_User> Akjj: is there an undo process for grub-install??
[07:16] <jsn> there is some problem in playing video files .when i play them video doesn come but sound comes.this problem occurred suddenly,it was not there when i had installed ubuntu..can anybod help?
[07:16] <Jordan_U> A_User: Follow this guide to restore the Windows PBR: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector
[07:17] <boxbeatsy> Jordan_U: it's a python bottle server
[07:17] <boxbeatsy> Jordan_U: i'm trying to run it like: python server.py > server.log 2>&1 &, but everytime i run it in teh bckground it crashes after half an hour with absolutely no traceback int he log file
[07:17] <Jordan_U> boxbeatsy: How are you running it in the background?
[07:18] <boxbeatsy> on the other hand, whenever i run it in the foreground it stays running for days on end until i try again in the background
[07:18] <sacarlson> A_User: each grub-install will just undo the last
[07:18] <overclucker> boxbeatsy: try running it in screen
[07:19] <juk> boxbeatsy: ask in #python
[07:19] <boxbeatsy> i'm not familiar with screen.  how would that help?
[07:19] <Jordan_U> boxbeatsy: Are you running out of space on the filesystem containing the log file?
[07:19] <boxbeatsy> ive tried python :\
[07:19] <boxbeatsy> Jordan_U: o itneresting..how would i check that?
[07:20] <Jordan_U> boxbeatsy: "df -h" to view free space.

[07:20] <Jordan_U> boxbeatsy: What filesystem is the log file stored on?
[07:20] <boxbeatsy> i'm also confident that it's not anything to do with oom because it runs perfectly fine in foreground
[07:21] <Jordan_U> boxbeatsy: What filesystem type that is, extN, fat32, ntfs, etc.
[07:21] <kiwilatham> jsn: what player are you trying with?
[07:22] <kisuke> jsn: have you updated anything recently?
[07:22] <boxbeatsy> Jordan_U: when i use df i see "dev/sda1" <- ext3, devtmpfs<-devtmpfs, /dev/sda2<-ext3
[07:22] <boxbeatsy> and i think the log is going to /dev/sda1
[07:22] <kisuke> boxbeatsy: you need to use the -h flag
[07:23] <boxbeatsy> yea, i just used df -T
[07:23] <boxbeatsy> also in my trials, i've been running it in the foreground but still logging to the same place
[07:24] <jsn> i hav tried playing with all the players like gnome movie player, gnomeMplayer,vlc etc..but one thing is there when i changed the video output from default to x11 in gnomeMplayer then it is working fine.but i am unable to do this thing with other players
[07:24] <overclucker> boxbeatsy: gnu screen is a detatchable terminal multiplexer, you could try running your server in screen.
[07:24] <jsn> kisuke: i hav tried playing with all the players like gnome movie player, gnomeMplayer,vlc etc..but one thing is there when i changed the video output from default to x11 in gnomeMplayer then it is working fine.but i am unable to do this thing with other players
[07:24] <jsn> kisuke: just some of the chromium updates
[07:24] <boxbeatsy> overclucker: o i see
[07:25] <boxbeatsy> but are there fundamental reasons something like this could happen?
[07:25] <boxbeatsy> i'm just completely boggled and have no idea what could remotely cause this
[07:25] <kisuke> jsn: is this one file or several?
[07:25] <jsn> kisuke: several..all video files
[07:26] <kiwilatham> jsn: you can change the video output in vlc under tools->preferences->video->output dropdown.
[07:26] <boxbeatsy> it's like there's some process saying..."i want to kill some processes randomly...let's only look for background processes...and let's pick the same one very time"
[07:26] <jsn> kisuke : i have tried this thing in vlc but it was of no help
[07:27] <jaywalker> Howdy. Got a little issue with SSH on ubuntu server
[07:27] <khannz> Can someone tell me, where I can set up my system-wide proxy settings? I mean really system-wide so I never using "export http_proxy.." stuff again. and even sudo commands used it
[07:27] <kiwilatham> have you tried running mplayer from the commandline?  What kind of output do you get?
[07:28] <kiwilatham> khannz look in /etc/profile.d/
[07:28] <jaywalker> im trying to change the port it listens on to something else, and even tho I've changed the config file (and removed port 22) and restarted ssh, it still lets me connect on port 22

[07:29] <kiwilatham> jaywalker: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585598
[07:29] <sacarlson> jaywalker: you say removed port 22,  you do need to assign some port number, if so what file did you modify?
[07:30] <Prinler> Can someone help me get some ubuntu/windows 7 sharing setup?
[07:30] <kiwilatham> khanz: Sweet bro.
[07:30] <jaywalker> ah, i see. so is /etc/ssh/ssh_config just a default file that doesn't get read?
[07:31] <TheMusicGuy> I'm having trouble with permissions and file ownership on a CIFS filesystem. My mount line is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/338771/
[07:31] <jsn> kisuku: deleted my configuration file of vlc and again restored it now it is working fine..can u tell me what thing i did wrong earlier due to which this mess happend
[07:31] <kiwilatham> Prinler: A super quick fix (not longterm or full time is to install winscp (free) on windows.  It uses ssh port 22 to connect and do scp file copying over a gui.  Not as nice as samba but gets you there in the end.
[07:31] <sacarlson> jaywalker: that's the wrong file to edit,  you want to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[07:31] <boxbeatsy> any hypotheses? :\
[07:31] <TheMusicGuy> Everything on the share is owned by "root", but its supposed to be owned by "brad"
[07:31] <jaywalker> kk, got it
[07:32] <noGoodNicks> this is a support channel, right?
[07:32] <Prinler> well i installed samba but im no pro... Think you can run me threw some things?
[07:33] <kisuke> ok regresh my memory, does ubuntu desktop come with a sshd by default?
[07:33] <TheMusicGuy> kisuke: I don't think so
[07:33] <juk> kisuke: no
[07:33] <kisuke> TheMusicGuy: juk thanks
[07:33] <jsn> kisuke: do u know?
[07:34] <kiwilatham> Prinler: which way do you wish to sync?
[07:34] <noGoodNicks> for some reason my audio has decided to flake out on me. PulseAudio skips about randomly when the CPU load is high, which seems to happen when phy0 spikes. It has never done this before today...
[07:34] <kisuke> jsn: nope sorry
[07:34] <kiwilatham> dont all distros come with sshd by default?
[07:34] <noGoodNicks> is there a way to get pulseAudio to stop skipping, or alternatively stop phy0 from spiking as often as it does? :/
[07:34] <jsn> kisuke: okay no worries
[07:34] <Prinler> It doesnt matter... i attempted to mount a share.... now im trying samba.... I just installed and dunno if it needs config or something.
[07:35] <Prinler> It doesnt seem to work

[07:42] <kiwilatham> Prinler: then try: smbclient -L ip.addr.of.win7 -U%
[07:43] <kiwilatham> ok - you have to install smbclient

[07:51] <KatronixSerf> Hi all, I was curious how do you make Gnome look like it does in this picture? http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/firefox4ubuntu-large_005.jpg
[07:51] <kiwilatham> prinler: copy pasted this from : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=280473 "sudo smbmount //<IP_ADDRESS>/Music /home/dbott/music -o username=dbott,password=mysecretpassword,uid=1000,mask=000"
[07:52] <Chikokishi> Im trying to get my sound to work and my chipset is "ICH9" under "intel"   but i cant find it on the chipset list from Alas or whatever.  Am i screwed?
[07:52] <TheMusicGuy> Are mount.smbs and mount.cifs the same?
[07:52] <libaofeng> how to use *.bin
[07:53] <kiwilatham> KatronixServ: try http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-power-docks-for-your-linux-machine/
[07:53] <KatronixSerf> kiwilatham, thanks
[07:53] <libaofeng> who can tell me ?
[07:53] <pksadiq> libaofeng: if it's executable you can do ./<filename>
[07:54] <kiwilatham> I think mount.cifs replaces mount.smbfs
[07:54] <Diverdude> how do i execute a ash-script on startup?
[07:55] <kiwilatham> libaofeng: if ./<filename> does not work, try first chmod +x <filename> then ./<filename>
[07:55] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: so mount.cifs uses the same command structure as mount.smbfs and supports the same options, etc.?
[07:55] <gaelfx> so I just updated to 10.10 from 10.04 because when I used the liveUSB, my DVD actually worked, and now that I've finished and fully installed my DVD player is broken again, is there anything I can do to diagnose the problem, if not solve it?
[07:56] <kiwilatham> there are various methods of executing scripts on startup.  When would you like to execute the file? During boot, or when you log in.
[07:57] <kiwilatham> TheMusicGuy: I use mount.cifs with the -o switches to specify username and password at work to mount Windows2003 shares from inside redhat linux.  I am sure ubuntu is the same.
[07:57] <kiwilatham> man mount.cifs
[07:58] <MACEDON> hi
[07:58] <kiwilatham> I love man commands.  Ever tried a man date? or worse... A man mount?

[07:59] <ohzie> Hey guys. I have an issue with bind, and the #bind channel is kinda quiet this late, so I thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone had any ideas. =) When I start my bind server it errors out saying it can't open "rndc.key" "Permission denied" This is weird because the dhcpd user owns that file. I still get the error when I make it a+rwx. What could possibly cause a world-read/write/executable file to deny permission to a deamon to open it?
[07:59] <ohzie> Sorry, that's a large bit of text but it's a strange problem that baffling me.
[07:59] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: it seems that mount.smbfs is an alias for mount.cifs (same with man mount.smbfs)
[08:00] <kiwilatham> TheMusicGuy: yeah.  I guessed so.  On my system mount.smbfs does not exist. But then I use a different distro.
[08:00] <Prinler> Couldn't chdir to /home/steve/music: No such file or directory
[08:00] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: I was just wondering because I'm having some issues with file ownership and I thought it might be because I was using the wrong filesystem.
[08:00] <Prinler> kiwilatham, Couldn't chdir to /home/steve/music: No such file or directory
[08:00] <kiwilatham> Prinler: does /home/steve/music exist on your system?
[08:01] <Prinler> yes
[08:01] <Prinler> sudo smbmount \\steve-pc\mp3 /home/steve/Music -o username=steve, password=MYPASSWORD, uid=1000, mask=000
[08:01] <Prinler> is the username and password the username and pass from the windows machine?
[08:01] <kiwilatham> ok remove the space after the comma.  use forward slashes for //steve-pc/mp3
[08:01] <llutz_> Prinler: Music or music? it's case sensitive
[08:02] <Prinler> i tried both
[08:02] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: also there isn't a "cifs.conf" in any of the man pages, only "smb.conf". It seems...inconsistent.
[08:02] <kiwilatham> and yes - ensure case sensitivy is correct and that you have the username and password correct for the fileshare permissions on the windows machine.
[08:03] <brverg> i have a problem with my flash player
[08:03] <kiwilatham> right. samba still uses smb.conf.  The commands I suggested use cifs which is a filesystem type that mount will apply when mounting the share.  Once we confirm this works we can start looking at configuring samba.
[08:04] <brverg> my browser crashes when i have more than two tabs for youtube
[08:05] <brverg> my system is updated but still the adobe flash player crashes..pls help
[08:05] <kiwilatham> TheMusicGuy: file ownership and filesystem would be a new one for me.  Have you checked everything else?  IE: chown and chmod?  Does ubuntu have SELINUX or an equivalent that is getting in your way?
[08:05] <Prinler> mount.cifs: bad UNC (\steve-pcmp3)
[08:05] <Prinler> how do i undo the mount?
[08:05] <Prinler> so i can retry?
[08:05] <gaelfx> My DVD drive worked in the LiveUSB, but after install, whenever I insert a DVD (or any CD) the entire UI hangs for long periods, only responding to mouse movement but not mouse clicks, how can I fix this?
[08:06] <kiwilatham> sudo umount /mnt/steve/Music
[08:06] <brverg> am i in the wrong channel? nobody seems to help regarding flash players
[08:06] <ohzie> brverg: Can you restate your question? I'm sorry, I've been flitting in and out.
[08:06] <gaelfx> brverg: which player/browser are you using?
[08:06] <brverg> cpould you at least redirect me to the proper channel?
[08:06] <ohzie> Someone here may be able to help you
[08:06] <ohzie> the best practice is t re-ask your question every 20-30 minutes or so. :P
[08:07] <ohzie> to*
[08:07] <llutz_> !patience | brverg
 thank you

[08:07] <ohzie> err sorry
[08:07] <ohzie> !bind
[08:07] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: I can mount the filesystem without any problem, but everything is owned by root and it should be owned by another user. Attempting to chown/chgrp does nothing
[08:07] <ohzie> That's what I wanted
[08:07] <CalvinMcGee> hi there, fellow Ubuntuers. I installed Ubuntu on my netbook and having some probs with the battery indicator. It shows how many percent that's left, but It just says (calculating...) on how much time there is left.
 i use mozilla firefox with adobe flash player installed
[08:07] <ohzie> Oh, it doesn't know anything about bind. :(
[08:08] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: same with chmod
[08:08] <ohzie> CalvinMcGee: the best resource I've found with things that are laptop-specific(as this issue probably is) is linux-laptop.com
[08:08] <kiwilatham> TheMusicGuy: are you mounting a FAT32 or NTFS filesystem?
[08:08] <llutz_> TheMusicGuy: smbf/cifs is not a unix-fs, so you cannot use chmod/chown. you have to use mount-options
[08:08] <almoxarife> CalvinMcGee: that's the correct behavior, changes made to it
[08:09] <ohzie> CalvinMcGee: there are forums dedicated to makes/models of netbooks, and most problems I've had, someone else has bhad and posted about
[08:09] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: ntfs
[08:09] <ohzie> and some of them have solutions.
[08:09] <Prinler> kiwilatham, umount: /mnt/steve/Music: not found
[08:09] <gaelfx> brverg: well, I haven't done anything yet, but if you give me some more info, I might be able to
[08:09] <Prinler> nothing in the /mtn folder
[08:09] <ohzie> CalvinMcGee: although it's likely that almoxarife knows more about this than I do, as he certainly seems more confident than I feel about my "check this out and hope it helps" answer. lol. =P
[08:10] <CalvinMcGee> almoxarife: So, I cannot see how much time there is left?
 the flash palyer in my firefox crashes every time i open more than two tabs of youtube
[08:10] <TheMusicGuy> llutz: I understand that cifs/samba is supposed to be able to "translate" permissions between operating systems when it is configured properly
[08:10] <TheMusicGuy> llutz: er, not operating systems...you know what I mean.
[08:10] <almoxarife> CalvinMcGee: you can if you click on it, should open up to info
[08:11] <llutz_> TheMusicGuy: and thats done with mount-options or when using samba, in smb.conf.
 i regularly update the system but it still crashes
[08:11] <CalvinMcGee> almoxarife: It says "time to empty: o seconds"
[08:12] <llutz_> TheMusicGuy: check "man mount.cifs" for uid/gid
[08:12] <TheMusicGuy> llutz: no, that's not what I'm talking about...
[08:12] <brverg>  <gaelfx> but everything is fine if i don't do tab browsing for youtube.. i mean viewing one video at a time is no problem.. +
[08:13] <gaelfx> brverg: are you using adobe's player?
[08:13] <Prinler> *pulls hair out*
[08:13] <Prinler> blasted google
[08:13] <kiwilatham> ahaaa. I am not sure you are able to mount easily using mount-options when mounting an nfts drive.  I have just read: FILE AND DIRECTORY OWNERSHIP AND PERMISSIONS in man mount.cifs
[08:13] <almoxarife> CalvinMcGee: I get the same numbers, and mine is fully charged
[08:13] <gaelfx> brverg: also are you using 10.10 or 10.04 (Ubuntu)?
[08:14] <Prinler> boooo
[08:14] <llutz_> TheMusicGuy: "<TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: I can mount the filesystem without any problem, but everything is owned by root and it should be owned by another user. Attempting to chown/chgrp does nothing"    this is what _i_ am talking about
[08:14] <CalvinMcGee> almoxarife: well, mine is 37%
 yes i'm using adobe's palyer
[08:14] <TheMusicGuy> llutz: When mounting a share from a host that uses the "UNIX extensions," the client (Ubuntu in this case) should be able to determine the owner and permissions on a per-file basis...I thought.
 ubuntu 10.10
[08:15] <almoxarife> CalvinMcGee: the nifty batt indicator when you hover over the batt is gone, why?? no idea
[08:15] <LinSteveH> I need some help troubleshooting a NFS problem.  I have a NAS running NFS.  and I believe that it is running properly, because  I see it both on the server (exportfs looks right) and the client (showmount shows the same info).  I have a mountpoint on the client, with root as owner/group.   Am I overlooking something??
[08:16] <LinSteveH> ubuntu==10.10
[08:16] <kiwilatham> that depends on whether or not the client negotiates UNIX extensions. The MusicGuy, Is this a USB disk or somwthing.
[08:16] <CalvinMcGee> almoxarife: but on my other laptop, it works fine
[08:16] <Prinler> kiwilatham, lemme try a ftp server.... if that dont work? $&^%#^&#$ im gonna buy a fing thumb drive
[08:16] <Prinler> walk it over
[08:16] <almoxarife> CalvinMcGee: 10.4 ?
[08:16] <almoxarife> or 10.10?
[08:16] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: no...its a partition on the internal HD that is being accessed over the network.
[08:16] <bigbang> how to install bery on ubuntu 10.10
[08:16] <CalvinMcGee> almoxarife: 10.10 on both
[08:16] <almoxarife> CalvinMcGee: 10.4 worked fine on mine
[08:17] <kiwilatham> ok.  try mounting using mount.cifs and adding the uid=xxx,gid=xxx options
[08:17] <kiwilatham> these are the uid and gid from /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
[08:17] <CalvinMcGee> almoxarife: crap...
[08:17] <Thrawn> Hi, i need help with setting up an ad-hoc network between a windows 7 and an ubuntu machine
[08:18] <Prinler> kiwilatham, over my head. Like i said im just dipping toes into this. havent got that far to know 100% what your talking about
[08:18] <kiwilatham> Prinler: Thrawn: Save yourselves both a huge headach and just insstall WinSCP on your windows machine and browse to the Ubuntu machine.
[08:19] <Thrawn> cool i got that app alrdy
[08:19] <gaelfx> brverg: the version of Firefox you're using is the one provided or are you using a different version?
[08:19] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: according to the man pages, won't that force _everything_ in the share to have the same uid/gid? (That's not what I want)
[08:20] <zhu> who
 it's the one provided
[08:21] <almoxarife> CalvinMcGee: and then a ppa came to save the day, maybe, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/battery-status-ppa-finally-updated-with.html
[08:21] <Thrawn> kiwilatham: im complete networking noob :( got a link to a tutorial @ settings in WinSCP to get windows->ubuntu filesharing working?
[08:21] <kiwilatham> TheMusicGuy: Look, I dont really know.  It would appear that your client does not support Unix extentions.  If you dont specify the UID / GID then the file permissions will be those of the user that executed mount.  Is there a way to configure mount to be executed by a non root user?
[08:22] <bigbang> how to install beryl on ubuntu10.10
[08:22] <CalvinMcGee> almoxarife: Yay!
[08:22] <llutz_> kiwilatham: add it to fstab with "users" option
[08:22] <gaelfx> brverg: ok, one more question, 32 or 64-bit?
[08:23] <Prinler> kiwilatham, Installed winscp gonna take a quick look see if i can figure it out
[08:23] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: My server is WIndows 7 Pro. My client is Ubuntu. I don't know what Win 7 supports. I thought it supported the Unix extensions, maybe it doesn't.
[08:24] <brverg>  <gaelfx> 32bit
[08:24] <kiwilatham> Prinler: Excellent.  It's handy for a quick file transfer here and there.  Really good for ad-hoc stuff.
[08:25] <Prinler> Its open asking me for info... privatekeyfile?
[08:25] <Prinler> protocol?
[08:25] <kiwilatham> TheMusicGuy: Maybe you should just give it a go huh?  Try the fstab users option on the mount.  That should allow you to mount the thing as a normal user.  Alternatively try it with the commandline and see if it works.
[08:25] <llutz_> Prinler: winscp needs openssh-server running on ubuntu
[08:25] <Prinler> oh god
[08:25] <Starminn> !compiz | bigbang
[08:25] <kiwilatham> llutz_ thanks dude.   I gotta go. ITs been cool - thanks for letting me hang out here.  I might pop in later.

[08:27] <llutz_> Prinler: if you haven't set up keys just use username/password to authenticate in winscp
[08:27] <Thrawn> what do i type as host name in winSCP
[08:28] <llutz_> Thrawn: linux-machines name or ip
[08:28] <Thrawn> llutz_: where do i find that?
[08:28] <Thrawn> (in ubuntu)
[08:28] <llutz_> Thrawn: "hostname" "ifconfig"
[08:28] <TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: Listen. Setting the uid, gid, and users options does indeed do exactly what you say it should do. I already tried it. However, that isn't the issue here. I can't just mount everything in the share with the same uid/gid and file permissions; that doesn't work for what I'm ultimately trying to do. I need separate ownership and permission bits for each file.
[08:29] <Prinler> ok trusting
[08:29] <Prinler> YAY! I see stuffs!
[08:29] <Thrawn> how ?
[08:30] <Prinler> i love when it works
