[00:01] <stepnjump> Does anyone know if there is a way to mount a remote optical drive on my desktop? I have a small acer netbook and of course, it doesn't have a built in CD reader on it....
[00:01] <escott> stepnjump, dd it to a disk image on another system, and then mount that image in a loopback
[00:02] <Mars11_> Anyone?
[00:02] <Miller> l me the channel for backtrack
[00:02] <stepnjump> escott: oh wow.. that seems to be complex!
[00:02] <escott> !backtrack | Miller
[00:02] <matin> hey toddnine
[00:03] <matin> even when i used sftp
[00:03] <stepnjump> ok I understand dd it escott but then after that?
[00:03] <matin> still permission denied
[00:03] <Miller> irc.freenode.net
[00:03] <stepnjump> escott: it's a commercial CD so it has protections on it. I tried to shrink it to an iso but it failed
[00:03] <escott> stepnjump, not really. dd if=/dev/dvd of $HOME/dvd.img
[00:03] <escott> stepnjump, then copy that over and mount -o loop dvd.img /mountpoint
[00:04] <escott> Mars11_, what was the question?
[00:04] <stepnjump> ok escott so it will shrink it to dvd.img?
[00:04] <stepnjump> oh gosh... you are a wizz escott ok I will try!
[00:04] <escott> stepnjump, what do you mean shrink it? dvd.img would be a bit-for-bit copy of the dvd
[00:05] <stepnjump> Oh that's awsome escott! I will try what you say. I will get back here in a few minutes to let you know how it turns out
[00:05] <Mars11_> Okay, so I have this flash drive that shows up as two disks. I know it's not two partitions because one is sdc and the other is sdd. It's also not a U3 drive.
[00:05] <stepnjump> thank you escott
[00:06] <Steak> hey, I'm trying to install memtest86 to a USB key, and it says "use the base device the device is assigned to"  I put a USB stick in, that says "OCZ Diesel", which is obviously not the base device, how can I determine the base?
[00:06] <Miller> not in the list of xchat something like irc.freenode.net
[00:06] <DJAnonimo> hi, anyone knows why samba asks me for credentials on a open share ? before reinstalling ubuntu anything was fine
[00:06] <frogonwheels> Mars11_: that happens a  bit - there's usually some kind of 'loader' on one of them - read-only
[00:06] <Miller> im looking for the backtrack irc
[00:06] <DJAnonimo> i would like to mount a share with fstab
[00:06] <Mars11_> It's not a U3. But one drive is read-only.
[00:06] <Steak> sorry for reposting my question, just didn't see any responses before
[00:07] <why> DJAnonimo: it had your creditials saved
[00:07] <frogonwheels> Mars11_: usually a windows exe of course :)
[00:07] <escott> Steak, a lot of ways /proc/partitions, or look at the output of mount
[00:07] <Mars11_> frogonwheels: No, it's a PDF.
[00:07] <escott> Mars11_, it could be in the firmware for the device
[00:07] <Miller> any one knowof the backtrack irc channel and how i can connect to it
[00:07] <Mars11_> Is there any way to change it?
[00:08] <escott> !backtrack > Miller
[00:08] <escott> Mars11_, if it isn't a U3 the only way to change it would be to go in there with a knife
[00:08] <Mars11_> :\
[00:09] <Mars11_> Oh...
[00:09] <DJAnonimo> why... nope the share is open and can be viewed without credentials on other PCs. no password needed
[00:09] <frogonwheels> Mars11_: nfi - I guess there might be a custom way of doing it - but it's probably not with the drivers
[00:09] <DJAnonimo> the other side is winXP
[00:09] <frogonwheels> Mars11_: more likely it's fixed.
[00:09] <matin> so is anyone good with ftp?
[00:09] <matin> or could help me with some permission problems?
[00:10] <why> matin: what permissions?
[00:10] <frogonwheels> matin: bad question.   state your problem
[00:11] <Steak> thanks escott, I found partitions, how do I use it?
[00:11] <escott> Steak, you found the device /dev/sdX# that matches your usb device?
[00:12] <Mars11_> escott: So is there any way?
[00:12] <Steak> escott: I found the partitions file, wondering what to do with it
[00:12] <Steak> gedit?
[00:13] <escott> Mars11_, if its in hardware not really
[00:13] <Mars11_> escott: Could there be a way to do it with software?
[00:13] <matin> alright, so when i tried to upload my files to my server
[00:13] <matin> I was originally getting 550 error
[00:14] <escott> Steak, no just read it. you are trying to figure out what matches the usb device. alternately if the usb is mounted you can run `mount` and figure out what device is mounted on the mount point (where you would go to put files on the usb)
[00:14] <matin> then someone told me to use sftp
[00:14] <matin> so i did, and now I'm getting 553 error
[00:14] <matin> actually
[00:14] <matin> now I'm getting "permission denied
[00:14] <matin> Error:	rm /home/fouad/public_html/js/init.js: permission denied
[00:15] <stepnjump> sudo dd if=/media/'1st CD' of $HOME/dvd.img escott, are you sure it's 'of'? I get the error code dd: unrecognized operand `of'
[00:15] <escott> Mars11_, a USB device can be whatever it wants, and tell the os whatever it wants, and it doesnt have to listen to anything the os tells it. so no guarantee you can do anything in software
[00:15] <MadMike> can't login with gdm or lightdm (i just get thown back to the greeter), but works with xdm... any ideas?
[00:15] <escott> stepnjump, of=$HOME/dvd.img  and you need to dd the raw device /dev not the mountpoint/media
[00:15] <MadMike> using ubuntu 11.10
[00:15] <stepnjump> oh ok escott. I'll try again
[00:16] <Peyam> Hi
[00:16] <stepnjump> ok escott, so I mount it in /dev?
[00:16] <escott> Steak, the gui may be easier for you. its called disk utility
[00:16] <Peyam> I tried to  set the monitor up with a Hdmi cable. from my stationary computer to the Tv
[00:16] <Peyam> I cant see anything. I tried to install the drives. and it cant find anuthing in  additional drive
[00:17] <Steak> escott: I got it... was trying to figure out how to read the file
[00:17] <escott> stepnjump, no. so /dev/dvd *is* the raw contents of the dvd. if you sudo head /dev/dvd you will see the beginning lines of the dvds raw structure. that is what you want to copy with dd
[00:17] <Steak> ok I found what I was looking for, it was /dev/sdb, thanks for the help
[00:17] <matin> so any ideas? why and frogonwheels
[00:17] <Mars11_> :\ Okay, thanks for your help. escott and frogonwheels.
[00:17] <graingert> escott: don't use dd for copying optical disks
[00:18] <stepnjump> ok escott but in /etc, dvd is nowhere to be found. Is it ok though to go straight with that command?
[00:18] <Miller618> can someone plz help me.... i made a file in root  /root/dhcpd.conf but when i run sudo dhcpd3 -d -f -cf /root/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpd/dhcpd.pid at0 i get .../root/dchpd.con permision denied y is this i have even chmod 777 the file no luck
[00:18] <tsvenson> Hi guys. New to Ubuntu and have a weird problem. I installed it on a Dell D620 notebook and every time it turn of the screen, it also turn down the brightness setting. Meaning I have to manually restore it every time. I have turned off the Dim setting in the Screen settings, but to no help. Any ideas?
[00:18] <chronossc> there is a way to let wifi auto-reconnect without ask me for password in ubuntu and xubuntu?
[00:18] <escott> graingert, ok? i wasnt aware that was a potential problem
[00:18] <graingert> escott: it depends what you are copying
[00:19] <escott> graingert, i think stepnjump just wants an image file (this isnt like a dvd he wants to rip) although he hasnt been too specific
[00:19] <graingert> braserio should do that
[00:19] <graingert> brasero
[00:20] <graingert> and there are other toold
[00:20] <Miller618> can someone plz help me.... i made a file in root  /root/dhcpd.conf but when i run sudo dhcpd3 -d -f -cf /root/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpd/dhcpd.pid at0 i get .../root/dchpd.con permision denied y is this i have even chmod 777 the file no luck
[00:20] <stepnjump> escott, as long as I will be able to take this image and open it on my netbook, that's what I want to do cuz my netbook doesn't have an optical drive
[00:20] <Miller618> Can't open /root/dhcpd.conf: Permission denied
[00:20] <Miller618> y is this
[00:21] <graingert> stepnjump: what is on the DVD?
[00:21] <stepnjump> A software graingert
[00:21] <qmanjr5> Does Banshee support adding apps to an iPod?
[00:21] <stepnjump> A software I just bought graingert
[00:21] <graingert> stepnjump: I see, use brasero
[00:21] <Mars11_> qmanjr5: No.
[00:21] <stepnjump> graingert: will that make me an .iso?
[00:21] <graingert> stepnjump: I wasn't accusing you of anything
[00:21] <Peyam> can anyone help me install graphic drives?
[00:22] <graingert> stepnjump: most likely
[00:22] <qmanjr5> Mars11_, how should I add them?
[00:22] <iceroot> !ati | Peyam
[00:22] <Mars11_> jmanjr5: On your iPod.
[00:22] <stepnjump> No no.. lol just wanted to specify. It's a software that corrects the text in french. My gf likes it so much, she wants it on her netbook too
[00:22] <stepnjump> and with the dd command graingert, it won't work?
[00:22] <buttons> is there a way to figure out what processor a computer is on via command line, and the number of cores?
[00:23] <escott> stepnjump, is this software going to be able to run in ubuntu?
[00:23] <Miller618> can someone plz help me.... i made a file in root  /root/dhcpd.conf but when i run sudo dhcpd3 -d -f -cf /root/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpd/dhcpd.pid at0 i get .../root/dchpd.con permision denied y is this i have even chmod 777 the file no luck
[00:23] <graingert> stepnjump: it _might_ work
[00:23] <iceroot> buttons: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[00:23] <Peyam> I have a integrated Graphic card with my CPU. Intel Core i5
[00:23] <Miller618> Can't open /root/dhcpd.conf: Permission denied
[00:23] <iceroot> buttons: every entry is one core
[00:23] <Miller618> y is this
[00:23] <graingert> escott: he probably wants to use linux to copy a disk to use on his netbook that uses windows
[00:23] <escott> Miller618, who owns the file?
[00:24] <stepnjump> escott and graingert, it's a software that installs in Windows, Mac and Linux from the manufacturer
[00:24] <Miller618> i have chmod 777 the file even running root no luck
[00:24] <escott> Miller618, but who owns it.
[00:24] <iceroot> Miller618: .../root/dchpd.con   its called /root/dhcp.conf  check for a typo
[00:24] <Mars11_> escott: Sorry about bringing this up again, but is there anything I could do to at least make one of the drives writeable?
[00:25] <iceroot> Miller618: and never ever!!! use 777
[00:25] <stepnjump> If there was a software I could map my remote computer's CD ROM drive graingert, it would be best but I don't know of any. I just found one that claims it does just that but in Windows...http://www.paragon-software.com/business/net-burner/
[00:25] <escott> Miller618, some applications get particular and will refuse to open even with broad permissions like that (usually they have a different error message, but you never know)
[00:25] <Miller618> corry my typo
[00:25] <DJAnonimo> hi. anyone can help me with installing KDE on ubuntu 11.10....
[00:25] <matin> can anyone help me with an ftp permissions problem?
[00:25] <DJAnonimo> well i cant find it in Ubuntu software centre...
[00:25] <KFP> Is it normal for Unity to hang for a few seconds every now and then?
[00:25] <graingert> stepnjump: no, just use a USB dvd drive
[00:25] <escott> matin, you need to be much much more specific about what is happening
[00:26] <iceroot> KFP: what do you think?
[00:26] <Miller618> this is my error............sudo dhcpd3 -d -f -cf /root/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpd/dhcpd.pid at0

[00:50] <Kimble> My Mac points all HTTP/HTTPS to a privoxy server on my LAN.  This worked fine until I set up a caching DNS, and pointed my router to it, now privoxy can't resolve.  Turning off the proxy settings on the mac causes it to resolve thru the caching dns server just fine. Any ideas how to get it working with privoxy?
[00:51] <jtokarchuk> Kimble, macos or ubuntu? I assume ubuntu if you are here o.o
[00:51] <Jim449991> hello
[00:51] <Kimble> Sorry, yes, the server running bind9 and privoxy is ub 11.10.
[00:51] <Jim449991> if i did an update and remove packages and the same time but it failed and i forced reboot
[00:52] <Jim449991> is there a command line that i have to type to check if something is broken ?
[00:52] <Kimble> Basically i can get the mac to send through privoxy, or use the caching dns, but not both together.
[00:53] <jtokarchuk> what's your privoxy set to DNS with? (I have never used the program, but am a network admin)
[00:53] <``PeeR> MonkeyDust, one I got the program, what do I do ?

[00:54] <Kimble> I've no idea. When i set it up, I didn't have to modify any DNS settings - it just worked.  I've tried searching Privoxy's documentation, but can't find anything about assigning a DNS address in Privoxy.

I also cannot move window to next cube face with shift-alt-ctl arrow anymore.  It looks like it is moving, but then when the flash occurs, the window disappears back to the original face.

[01:00] <SkipMFreek> does anyone have any experience with Wubi ?
[01:00] <mbeierl> ``PeeR: it has more to do with the video card than the chip itself.  the desktop cube relies on video hardware acceleration, so that's where the real issue is.
[01:01] <mbeierl> ``PeeR: i /think/ you can buy a reasonable nVidia based card that should go into a P4 mobo (PCI), and the price that I'd be able to quote from Canada would run about $60 CAD.
[01:01] <zykotick9> SkipMFreek, well for one thing, Wubi does not use a partition, it uses a file inside windows.

[01:14] <cafejunkie> pp7: so edit the .css files of your current theme to change the colors
[01:14] <pp7> cafejunkie: but isnt there a specific way to set just the panel color?  I use elementary theme

[01:33] <mbeierl> ``PeeR: the other possibility is that it actually is a bug, in which case, you could try reporting it on launchpad.    Can you give a quick try of adding the English (US) layout and see if it allows the keypad to work as expected?  If so, I'd say it's a bug that should be reported.  Btw, Ottawa here...

[02:01] <RocketLauncher> i have an i3 370M and changing the brightness doesn't do anything. does loonix not support it or what?
[02:01] <zykotick9> sharpK, i've seen it use a lot more...  eye candy takes CPU.
[02:02] <RocketLauncher> the brightness of my screen that is.. either the viewing angle sucks or the brightness is too high
[02:02]  * zykotick9 hopes loonix is a distro he's never heard of
[02:02] <RocketLauncher> Linux
[02:02] <sharpK> zykotick9, yeah, it was just the most consuming thing and unity has been super slow on me lately. Ever since I started using dual monitors in TwinView. When the system boots up, things are pretty smooth, but after an hour or two my mouse is moving at like 10 FPS, and everything is just really bogged down
[02:03] <zykotick9> sharpK, sorry i don't have any suggestions, i dropped compiz usage a year or so ago (and I've never used Unity).  Good luck.
[02:06] <lacrymology> I don't have the menu bar, what do I need to start?
[02:06] <RocketLauncher> are the developers listening to criticism about unity? i really hope it improves a bit because the only problem i have with it is the dock

[02:08] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: i would too
[02:09] <eudes> oi
[02:09] <Kainfire> \
[02:10] <zykotick9> RocketLauncher, an i3 is a CPU and your asking about a video question - these two things aren't really related.  What specific laptop/netbook is this?  For my EEEpc to get brightness working correctly i do have to add the kernel option acpi_osi=Linux to that is VERY hardware specific.
[02:11] <xrandr> is there a way to skip the splash screen on ubuntu's start up? It causes issues when i boot. I have to boot into recovery mode, remove my xorg.conf file, then restore it.

[02:12] <zykotick9> xrandr, try removing "quiet splash" from grub, then update-grub, then reboot 'should' disable plymouth
[02:12] <zykotick9> xrandr, but i don't see how plymouth and xorg.conf are related
[02:12] <xrandr> zykotick9: can you tell me where to do that?
[02:12] <zykotick9> xrandr, /etc/default/grub
[02:14] <xrandr> so for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" just remove the ""
[02:14] <xrandr> ?
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> xrandr: no, keep the quotes
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> xrandr: just add the bootoptin in the quotes, save the new file, close gedit and run:  sudo update-grub
[02:15] <xrandr> ok, gonna try a reboot. Thank you
[02:15] <SwedeMike> or edit the line within grub at boottime
[02:15] <SwedeMike> bah
[02:15] <zykotick9> xrandr, did you run the "sudo update-grub"?
[02:15] <zykotick9> missed him?
[02:15] <SwedeMike> does update-grub really change all the existing boot lines?
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> yes
[02:15] <zykotick9> doh
[02:17] <sn0wl1nux> hi guys , i try to install the sn0wl1nux version of ubuntu but when the installation starts to create users i get error which says to set up the archives /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman .. can somebody helps ?
[02:17] <sn0wl1nux> please
[02:17] <dr_willis> sn0lwlinux versiohn?
[02:17] <sn0wl1nux> yes
[02:17] <WanderingEnder> Does #Ubuntu support other distros based on Ubuntu?
[02:18] <dr_willis> yes what? ....
[02:18] <dr_willis> You made your own remaster?
[02:18] <sn0wl1nux> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4MvhmNa91k
[02:18] <WanderingEnder> It sounds, sn0wl1nux, like you need to hit up that distro's support channel.
[02:18] <sn0wl1nux> no i downloaded it
[02:18] <dr_willis> sn0wl1nux:  we cant support every ubuntu variant/spinoff out there.  but i would suggest checking the md5sums of any isos you download.
[02:19] <sn0wl1nux> i dont have md5sums
[02:19] <WanderingEnder> dr_willis: The official site for sn0wl1nux is down, and it looks to be a small project. I'm guessing there's no md5's.
[02:19] <WanderingEnder> sn0wl1nux: You may want to go back to a well maintained distribution based on Ubuntu.
[02:19] <dr_willis> sn0wl1nux:  sounds like a good reason to not use sn0wl1nux  to me... :)
[02:20] <sn0wl1nux> =(
[02:20] <sn0wl1nux> but can i make it somehow ?
[02:20] <dr_willis> bottom line is we cant support unofficial variants. and ive never seen that error message befor. sounds like a bad iso/burn.
[02:20] <dr_willis> or some weird remastering bug/issue.
[02:20] <sn0wl1nux> i burned it to a flash
[02:20] <tsvenson> Is there no way I can use apt-get to quickly give me a list of for example the installed php5 packages?
[02:21] <WanderingEnder> sn0wl1nux: We don't know what sn0wl1nux, and you can't tell if what you downloaded was corrupted or not because you don't have MD5s.
[02:21] <SwedeMike> tsvenson: you use "dpkg" for that
[02:21] <WanderingEnder> sn0wl1nux: the download may of went bad and corrupted your ISO, the iso you DL'ed may never have worked, etc.
[02:22] <dr_willis> http://sourceforge.net/projects/sn0wl1nux/files/11/  seems to have md5sum files.....
[02:22] <zykotick9> tsvenson, "dpkg -l | grep php5" should work
[02:23] <tsvenson> SwedeMike: Ahh, thanks.
[02:23] <dr_willis> and thats the end of our support for  sn0wl1nux  :)
[02:24] <DJAnonimo> please HELP, i cant run KDE. well there is just a black desktop and mouse curosr
[02:25] <UNR3S0LV3D> whats the program i need to make my own vhost ?
[02:25] <UNR3S0LV3D> like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:25] <sn0wl1nux> dr_willis, but what i have to do with the md5 ? :S
[02:28] <UNR3S0LV3D> what program do i need to make my own vhost for EG like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:29] <xrandr> ok, that worked. I needed to disable nouveau
[02:29] <lauratika> how can i ckeck proxy setting in ubuntu 11.10
[02:29] <geoffmcc> UNR3S0LV3D: do you mean a vhost for apache?
[02:29] <UNR3S0LV3D> vhost
[02:30] <WanderingEnder>                           UNR3S0LV3D what is EG
[02:30] <UNR3S0LV3D><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:31] <WanderingEnder> No, UNR3S0LV3D.
[02:31] <zykotick9> sn0wl1nux, next time pick a distribution that doesn't contain l33t speak
[02:31] <sn0wl1nux> dr_willis, so can you help me ?
[02:31] <WanderingEnder> UNR3S0LV3D: what is EG?
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> DJAnonimo: what if you try as a fresh user?
[02:31] <UNR3S0LV3D> ?
[02:31] <sn0wl1nux> zykotick9, do you know what i do with the md5 ?
[02:31] <UNR3S0LV3D> Eg=example
[02:32] <WanderingEnder> UNR3S0LV3D: then what are you after? be specific. What program?
[02:32] <zykotick9> sn0wl1nux, an MD5 is useless, unless you have an origional to compare your generated one to.  It's to check if an image was downloaded correctly.
[02:32] <UNR3S0LV3D> that wat im asking
[02:32] <UNR3S0LV3D> i dont no the name
[02:33] <UNR3S0LV3D> its were u can have a vhost
[02:33] <sn0wl1nux> zykotick9, so i cant install sn0wl1nux ?
[02:33] <zykotick9> sn0wl1nux, sorry, i don't personally care.  good luck.
[02:34] <WanderingEnder> UNR3S0LV3D: You're not being specific, nor indicating a virtual host of what service or program, so I don't think anyone can help you.
[02:34] <sn0wl1nux> zykotick9, :D ok
[02:34] <maum> where is bashrc on ubuntu 11.10?
[02:34] <WanderingEnder> sn0wl1nux: Check your ISO against the MD5. That's what its there for. if you are unfamiliar with how, check google on that phrase.
[02:34] <UNR3S0LV3D> private server
[02:35] <Vermind> Hi, I switched to the dark Adwaita theme and added a gtk-color-scheme line to gtk-2.0/gtkrc as per the instructions in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=928975 . However, my GNOME 2 windows (like Pidgin and Firefox) have a white titlebar (regular adwaita style), while GNOME 3 windows are fine. The funny thing is that if I switch to regular, unmodified Adwaita, then restart gnome shell (Alt-F2 r) and then switch to the dark version, G
[02:35] <geoffmcc> UNR3S0LV3D: are you refering to seting up an apache vhost?
[02:35] <zykotick9> Wanderin1Ender, do you know if the sn0wl1nux distro even supplies MD5sums?
[02:35] <UNR3S0LV3D> yea im asking what programs are needed to make my own vhost like @wateva.wateva
[02:35] <maum> where is bashrc on ubuntu 11.10?
[02:36] <zykotick9> maum, ~/.bashrc
[02:36] <WanderingEnder> UNR3S0LV3D: Again, you aren't providing enough information. Sorry, no further replies.
[02:36] <UNR3S0LV3D> hm
[02:36] <fisix> so... what'r some other channels you guys use?
[02:36] <invisiblek> is everyone getting an internal error on gnome-look?
[02:36] <WanderingEnder> zykotick9: dr_willis gave him a link to the sorceforce project which had MD5s since its hosted on sourceforge.
[02:36] <jtokarchuk> fisix: This channel is for Ubuntu support, go to #ubuntu-offtopic to chat.
[02:36] <zykotick9> !polls | fisix
[02:37] <maum> zykotick9, I see
[02:37] <zykotick9> Wanderin1Ender, ok, just checking.
[02:37] <KingPin> anyone here using mariadb?
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> maum: same as in all Linuxes using bash
[02:38] <UNR3S0LV3D> what program is needed to host a Vhost
[02:38] <KingPin> UNR3S0LV3D,  virtual host as in website?
[02:38] <UNR3S0LV3D> as a mirc
[02:38] <KingPin> apache, nginx, lighttpd to name a few
[02:38] <KingPin> o that
[02:38] <UNR3S0LV3D> for MIRC
[02:38] <UNR3S0LV3D> ys
[02:38] <KingPin> well thats upto freenode if they allow setting vhosts.
[02:38] <Tubuktu> hey
[02:39] <UNR3S0LV3D> for other servers
[02:39] <UNR3S0LV3D> not this one
[02:39] <KingPin> upto the ircd.
[02:39] <Tubuktu> do change the hostname of my computer i have to restart?
[02:39] <UNR3S0LV3D> yea
[02:39] <WanderingEnder> ... This is not mIRC support..
[02:39] <UNR3S0LV3D> but wat do i need
[02:39] <jtokarchuk> #mirc
[02:39] <zykotick9> UNR3S0LV3D, not an ubuntu question is it
[02:39] <KingPin> ask in their #help
[02:39] <UNR3S0LV3D> i no the ircd allow
[02:39] <UNR3S0LV3D> its not an ubuntu question ?
[02:39] <UNR3S0LV3D> llol
[02:40] <WanderingEnder> UNR3S0LV3D: No, its not, mIRC is a Windows program. Good day.
[02:40] <UNR3S0LV3D> well
[02:40] <UNR3S0LV3D> itssi
[02:40] <UNR3S0LV3D> irssi
[02:40] <UNR3S0LV3D> i use irssi
[02:40] <UNR3S0LV3D> i ment IRC
[02:40] <FloodBot1> UNR3S0LV3D: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:40] <Tubuktu>  to change the hostname of my pc i have to restart?
[02:40] <happygol1cky> KingPin: i've seen freenode give out vhosts to some
[02:41] <Vermind> Tubuktu: depends on where you need to see the hostname change, but usually yes
[02:41] <zykotick9> !cloak
[02:41] <geoffmcc> UNR3S0LV3D: ask in #freenode
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: you will need to change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname   there is a command to change it on the fly but I'm unsure how it will work with network hardware, you may need to restarty networking too
[02:41] <Tubuktu> ActionParsnip, what is the command to change them on the fly?
[02:41] <Tubuktu> and do i have to reboot
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: I'd suggest a reboot, covers all bases
[02:42] <zykotick9> Tubuktu, be sure to edit BOTH files - did you see "/msg ubottu hostname"
[02:42] <Tubuktu> yes
[02:42] <Tubuktu> !hostname
[02:42] <Tubuktu> i can use hostname tukuktunew
[02:43] <Tubuktu> nice
[02:43] <Tubuktu> doesnt say if it needs reboot
[02:43] <zykotick9> Tubuktu, the "hostname foo" is temporary
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: you can run:  sudo hostname newname
[02:43] <jtokarchuk> Tubuktu,  as ActionParsnip said, you should to cover all of your bases.
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: http://www.ducea.com/2006/08/07/how-to-change-the-hostname-of-a-linux-system/
[02:43] <Tubuktu> how can i make a bash script autorun on boot?
[02:44] <somsip> Tubuktu: depends what it's doing, but usually add it to /etc/rc.local
[02:44] <Vermind> Tubuktu: really at boot as root, or when you log in with your user?
[02:44] <Telamon> Anyone know why my sound would suddenly stop working with the 3.0.0 kernel?  3.0.3 won't work with my graphics card, so I can't use that.  soundcard works fine on 2.6 kernels, volume isn't muted, detects fine, just no sound...
[02:44] <Tubuktu> Vermind, before networking starts
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: does it need to run as root?
[02:45] <Tubuktu> yes it needs sudo
[02:45] <asw3> someone here know to deal with tar.gz?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: the you can add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line and it will run at boot as root
[02:45] <Telamon> asw3: tar zxf filename
[02:45] <somsip> asw3: tar zxf {file} ?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> asw3: its a compressed archive, it could contain anything
[02:46] <asw3> i downloaded this : language-pack-he-base_9.10+20091022.tar.gz
[02:46] <Tubuktu> ActionParsnip, if i run sudo hostname NEWHOST on boot using that startup script, will it work/
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> asw3: if you install unp, you can use unp to extract anything#
[02:46] <Tubuktu> ?
[02:46] <asw3> extract it but i dont know how to install it
[02:46] <joe_> I have a big of an issue. One of my cats walked all  the keyboard while it was plugged in to my media pc. Now, when XBMC runs in fullscreen i still have the top bar which shows the sound/network/mail/etc icons
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: why bother, you have the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts to set hostname
[02:46] <asw3> where can i find instruction how to?
[02:46] <asw3> tar xvzf language-pack-he-base_9.10+20091022.tar.gz
[02:47] <asw3> but after it i dont know what to do
[02:47] <geoffmcc> asw3: usually there is a readme or install file when you extract
[02:47] <Tubuktu> ActionParsnip, i want for the system to create automatically a random hostname in each boot.
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: to what end, it won't achieve very much
[02:47] <Tubuktu> ActionParsnip, i can use the hostname command and seed some file with a list of hostnames
[02:47] <asw3> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/pool/main/l/language-pack-he-base/language-pack-he-base_9.10+20091022.tar.gz
[02:47] <Vermind> asw3: Why don't you just do sudo apt-get install langauge-pack-he-base ?
[02:48] <totesmuhgoats> is anyone having problems with the splash screen on boot? when i boot 11.10 i get a purple screen, but I never see the bootloader, then i may or may not briefly get the ubuntu logo right before the login manager appears
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> Tubuktu: I guess, or you can use ssh to remotely run a command on the remote system
[02:48] <asw3> Vermind, it broken
[02:48] <totesmuhgoats> I don't care about all that fancy stuff, i'd like to just disable it, but trying this didn't work
[02:48] <totesmuhgoats> http://askubuntu.com/questions/5065/how-can-i-disable-the-purple-splash-screen-at-boot
[02:48] <Vermind> asw3: so you downloaded another version? There should be a deb of it as well.
[02:48] <asw3> W: Failed to fetch http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/language-pack-he/language-pack-he_9.10+20091022_all.deb
[02:48] <asw3>   404  Not Found
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> asw3: try:  sudo apt-get update    first
[02:49] <Tubuktu> ActionParsnip, do you know how could i do something like that in bash? Assume i already have a hostname.txt which is a list of 100 valid hostnames. How can i use this together with the hostname command to randomly (or even in order) choose a hostname out of that list? (i then can run this script automatically at boot)
[02:49] <asw3> i am using with ubuntu 9.10
[02:49] <asw3> it should be a problem?
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> asw3: wait, what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[02:49] <jtokarchuk> Tubuktu: Python sounds like the answer
[02:49] <asw3> type "lsb_release -sc"?
[02:49] <asw3> karmic
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> asw3: karmic is no longer support here or anywhere else, it is EOL
[02:50] <jtokarchuk> Tubuktu, and out of curiousity, why with the random hostnames?
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> asw3: karmic is offtopic here
[02:50] <asw3> so i will not able to install these pack?
[02:50] <asw3> its old pack
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> asw3: not using the repos as they are disabled
[02:51] <asw3> what is mean "repos"?
[02:51] <Tubuktu> jtokarchuk, it would go well with macchanger or each boot to have a random mac + random hostname = complete anonymity
[02:51] <ActionParsnip> !repo
[02:51] <asw3> i cant build the tar.gz by my self?
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> asw3: karmic isn't supported here. I suggest you upgrade to Lucid
[02:52] <WanderingEnder> asw3: Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to 10.04?
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> asw3: you can do it by yourself but we cannot help you here
[02:52] <Tubuktu> jtokarchuk, could i use perl for that or python is the best bet?
[02:52] <asw3> i heard about problem with unity
[02:52] <WanderingEnder> asw3: 10.04 LTS does not have Unity.
[02:53] <asw3> Wanderin1Ender, i am afraid to broke my system
[02:53] <jtokarchuk> Tubuktu, you can use whatever you want, you would read each line of text (one hostname per line) into an array, and pick a random array[x] number
[02:53] <WanderingEnder> asw3: Then we cannot help you, I'm sorry, as ActionParsnip said. Good luck!
[02:53] <joe_> How can i make the top status bar go away when trying to make an app launch fullscreen?
[02:53] <asw3> LTS=it mean that i will be able to install it once and get support for ever?
[02:54] <asw3> or its also end after some years?
[02:54] <joe_> regardless of the app i run, it's always windowed and the status bar is always visible
[02:54] <Tubuktu> jtokarchuk, how can it be random? should i use a pseudorandom number generator?
[02:54] <ariane5> my dvd not boot system installer what can i do ?
[02:55] <joe_> ariane5, try a usb stick
[02:55] <jtokarchuk> in pseducode : y = random 1-100; hostname = array[y], after you have read the hostnames into your array
[02:55] <joe_> or quite possibly the alternate  (text based) installer
[02:55] <jtokarchuk> Tubuktu, ^^
[02:55] <stepnjump> escott, thank you... it worked great with dd ! Thank you a million
[02:55] <asw3> Wanderin1Ender,ubuntu have dist like it?
[02:55] <ariane5> aha
[02:56] <WanderingEnder> asw3: I'm sorry, what was your question? Do I have 10.04?
[02:56] <Tubuktu> jtokarchuk, k nice. so i guess random is a function of python which uses /dev/random ? or its on RNG
[02:56] <asw3> if i will install 10.04 the support is forever?
[02:56] <asw3> or also ending?
[02:56] <WanderingEnder> asw3: No, its always rolling.
[02:56] <WanderingEnder> !LTS | asw3
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> asw3: LTS is supported for 3 years, so Lucid will be supported til April next year. Your release is old. Personally I'd clean install Oneiric and restore your user data from backup
[02:57] <Tubuktu> i g2g THANKS ALL
[02:57] <WanderingEnder> ActionParsnip: If he hates Unity, he could stay on 10.04, but I just did an upgrade path from 10.04 to 11.10 on a netbook because, well. everything is ancient. :)
[02:57] <jtokarchuk> Tubuktu, it uses a RNG
[02:57] <asw3> thank you for helping
[02:58] <Tubuktu> jtokarchuk, PRNG
[02:58] <Tubuktu> pseudo
[02:58]  * korben is gone. Gone since Wed Dec  7 00:59:00 2011
[02:58] <asw3> also i  want to ask if you know about system that have long support then 3 years?
[02:58] <jtokarchuk> Tubuktu,  yes, but as I said you can use whatever language fits you. Why is anonymity so important?
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> WanderingEnder: we don't know if s/he does or not
[02:58] <asw3> its not really relevant to this chan
[02:59] <WanderingEnder> asw3: What did you hear was a problem with Unity?
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> asw3: 5 years is on server but that has no GUI
[02:59] <seroquel> is anyone using desura?
[02:59] <asw3> some people didnt like it
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> !info desura
[02:59] <asw3> not something additional
[02:59] <asw3> Wanderin1Ender, are you using with unity?
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> seroquel: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/desura%E2%80%99s-gem/   looks sweet
[03:00] <WanderingEnder> asw3: Yes, I have used Unity. You have to get used to it, its different.
[03:00] <rypervenche> seroquel: I have it, but rarely use it.
[03:00] <WanderingEnder> That's all.
[03:00] <asw3> maybe just to try it
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> asw3: if you dislike unity, install xfce4 and use xfce desktop and it will look and feel like gnome2
[03:01] <seroquel> yea it looks real sweet. i just don't know how to install it
[03:01] <joe_> what about gnome-shell
[03:01] <asw3> o.k only self try will solve this forever
[03:01] <asw3> i just heard bad comment about it
[03:02] <rypervenche> seroquel: Unzip the tarball then run it.
[03:03] <asw3> can i update without clean install?
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> asw3: its like marmite, you either love it, hate it or grow to like it
[03:03] <asw3> or from 9.10 to 10.04 its not recommend?
[03:03] <WanderingEnder> asw3: It took me 6 hours to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10, are you sure you want to do that?
[03:04] <asw3> 6hours?
[03:04] <asw3> wow
[03:04] <asw3> it depend the internet speed?
[03:04] <WanderingEnder> asw3: Its easier just to backup your personal files and install 11.10 from scratch.
[03:04] <WanderingEnder> asw3: Only slightly. Each update is about 1100 packages.
[03:04] <OerHeks> internet speed, machine specs ..
[03:05] <WanderingEnder> So, for me, about 30 minutes to DL, then 1.5 to 2 hours to install/uninstall/update packages. Each install.
[03:05] <asw3> so you recommend  me to back my home folder and install from scratch?
[03:05] <asw3> back up*
[03:05] <asw3> 6 hour is a lot of time
[03:06] <jtokarchuk> asw3, that was the windmill he was tilting at, yes.
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> asw3: I do, and you should have a backup anyways
[03:07] <asw3> a lot of thanks to every helper here

[03:27] <joe_> i tried the -fs option
[03:27] <joe_> it didnt work
[03:27] <FloodBot1> joe_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:27] <joe_> i didnt know about the
[03:27] <joe_>  \ key ;)
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> joe_: I don't even use xbmc, why is it I can find the solution??
[03:27] <joe_> My apologize for the excessive enters :)
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> joe_: but I used the same internet you do, but I found the solution in about 4 seconds...
[03:28] <deadsoul> hello
[03:29] <joe_> Maybe your google skillz are a little more evolved than mine are. I tried searching which is how i came up with the -fs option (which didn't work)
[03:29] <ozzloy> i installed 10.04.3 server 64 bit on virtualbox. in the vm, ifconfig shows no eth0.  how do i get networking to work?
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> joe_: all I search for was: xbmc run fullscreen
[03:30] <ozzloy> i've installed 10.04.3 desktop and networking worked fine
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> ozzloy: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[03:30] <deadsoul> Hello,.. how can I edit the music properties of the files in the remote daap server.. using banshee ?
[03:31] <ozzloy> ActionParsnip, no.  eth0 doesn't even show up at all.  this not just a dns issue
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> deadsoul: you can use http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/id3tool.1.html
[03:31] <din> ozzloy: edit the virtual machine settings and make sure the ethernet card is connected.
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> ozzloy: in /etc/network/interfaces   do you have:  auto eth0
[03:31] <ozzloy> din, it is
[03:31] <ozzloy> ActionParsnip, i do
[03:32] <ozzloy> or did a few minutes ago
[03:32]  * ozzloy makes sure
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> ozzloy: try restarting the networking service
[03:32] <deadsoul> ActionParsnip: Thanks,.. I'll check now
[03:32] <ozzloy> yep, auto eth0\niface eth0 inet dhcp
[03:32] <ozzloy> q
[03:32] <ozzloy> er..
[03:32] <c_smith_> hey, I'm having trouble with guvcview, and I've opened it in Terminal to see what's going on under the hood, and the output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/762415/ the segmentation fault is when it crashes is when I click the button to capture video.
[03:33] <c_smith_> Cheese just gives me weird colors where they aren't supposed to be.
[03:33] <deadsoul> ActionParsnip: the thing is that, I can see, play my music from DAAP server,.. but I can't change its properties.. how can I do that ?
[03:33] <din> ozzloy: it sounds like the card is disconnected or the module for it is not loaded. if you look through dmesg output do you see anything about it?
[03:34] <ozzloy> sudo service networking restart<Enter>restart: Unknown instance:
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> deadsoul: you can use the cli command, or use x forwarding and run easytag
[03:34] <din> ozzloy: are there any other interfaces showing up?
[03:34] <ozzloy> din, just lo
[03:34] <ozzloy> i'll check dmesg
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> ozzloy: try stopping the service then start it, also try:  sudo ifup eth0
[03:35] <ozzloy> i tried changing from the default card to the one that says "MT Server"
[03:35] <deadsoul> ActionParsnip: you mean I can't do it via banshee
[03:35] <din> ActionParsnip: ifup eth0 will do nothing if the card is not detected by the kernel.
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> deadsoul: no idea, I don't use banshee
[03:36] <din> ozzloy: if you can't find anything in dmesg output, i'd try removing the card from the VM and adding another.
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> din: then run:  dmesg | less      and see what the kernel sees and does at boot
[03:36] <danny> i need some help on disabling the guest account on ubutnu 11.10
[03:36] <deadsoul> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[03:36] <van7hu> hi all
[03:36] <van7hu> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Calculator
[03:37] <danny> can anyone help me on
[03:37] <van7hu> the calculator was lost from my computer (10.04), how could I get it back?
[03:37] <danny> disabling the guest account
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> danny: why did you hit enter after the word 'on'? make no sense
[03:38] <danny> ActionParsnip: to make it easier for me
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> danny: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62564/how-do-i-disable-the-guest-session
[03:39]  * why gives FourDollars another dollar
[03:39] <danny> thank you
[03:39]  * c_smith_ is closing this tab and going to znc server now he has found the details
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> danny: it scrolls the channel, please keep to one line if you can, it also makes questions not fragment so people don't have to reconnect your bits
[03:39] <c_smith> ok, back
[03:40] <c_smith> does anyone have an solution to my guvcview problem?
[03:40] <danny> ok ill keep that in mind for future references
[03:41] <c_smith> I've narrowed it down to missing codecs, specifically the H264 and lavc ones.
[03:41] <ozzloy> din
[03:41] <c_smith> tried compiling the x264, but it didn't help
[03:42] <ozzloy> sorry, din i can see stuff in dmesg, but i don't know how to copy paste it
[03:42] <jbu> hi all, does anyone know if there's an ubuntu system script I can use to get my wireless started?
[03:42] <jbu> or any script, really
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> danny: thanks
[03:43] <din> ozzloy: pm
[03:43] <ozzloy> din, also i've tried 2 different cards
[03:43] <ozzloy> o ok
[03:44] <danny> what is xterm
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> danny: its similar to gnome-terminal
[03:45] <danny> it looks like it
[03:45] <michaeljwjr> Hello everyone. Is there an up to date guide that explains how to mount my windows partition so it mounts, and then mounts on boot.
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> michaeljwjr: you will need to add it in /etc/fstab
[03:46] <michaeljwjr> yes I am a noob so I need a guide to follow with commands and such.
[03:46] <OerHeks> jups fstab
[03:46] <kayghar> danny: it's a generic (for x11) terminal emulator, while gnome-terminal is (guess what) gnome specific.
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> michaeljwjr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:48] <danny> are there any bots on this chat
[03:48] <dr_willis> !bot
[03:48] <michaeljwjr> actionparsnip: thanks
[03:49] <rockets> Will the 32-bit edition of Ubuntu recognize 4gb of ram, or will it only use 3.5, like Windows XP does?
[03:50] <dr_willis> rockets:  in part thats a hardware ussue. id say it would act the same.
[03:50] <rockets> dr_willis, Yeah I know, but for example, Windows 7 generally shows all 4gb, in my experience, even on machines that have the 3.5 issue with XP
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> rockets: you can install pae kernel and you can access up to 64Gb RAM in 32bit
[03:50] <rockets> ActionParsnip, alright, but do I need PAE for 4gb?
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> rockets: under 32bit, yes
[03:51] <rockets> My understanding is that using PAE involves a performance hit, at least on Windows
[03:51] <dr_willis> 64bit may also not show all of the 4 gb.
[03:51] <rockets> dr_willis, that's . . . not true.
[03:51] <rockets> dr_willis, there is no hardware issue with my machine limiting it to 3.5gb if thats what you mean
[03:51] <pokpong> If I want everyone on my LAN to be able to acces my web server typing sever.net does I have to setup DNS bind9 or it's overkill ?
[03:51] <dr_willis> rockets:  from my research it is
[03:51] <rockets> dr_willis, yeah if your machine only supports 3.5. That is not the case with mine.
[03:52] <dr_willis> been like 2 years since i last looked unto ut
[03:52] <dr_willis> some hardware vudeo cards and so forth can reserve part of the 4 gb range
[03:52] <Folklore> has anyone done qemu+ubuntu arm on x86 pc before
[03:52] <Folklore> seen docs for debian but not ubuntu
[03:53] <danny> learning to program any tips
[03:53] <dr_willis> if your cpu can do 64 bit. then i say use a 64 bit os
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> pokpong: you just need to setup a DNS account on dydns or no-ip to make your IP resolve from a name
[03:54] <Magi__zian_> https://magizian.dyndns.org:1443        password = freeaccess
[03:54] <dr_willis> pokpong:  you are refering to people on the same local lan or anywhere on the internet?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> Magi__zian_: not available
[03:55] <danny> what is a good linux game to play
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> danny: urban terror :)  If you like counterstrike
[03:55] <dr_willis> danny:  wesnoth
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> danny: or penumbra for a survivor horro game (not free in any way, but the demo is)
[03:56] <somsip> danny: none if you're learning to program...
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> danny: playdeb has a LOT of games, just install the deb from their site to import the ppa then install games galore :)
[03:56] <dr_willis> whats with the spam messages hans_reiser?  kill that script please
[03:56] <danny> somsip: i am starting tomorrow
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> hans_reiser: can you make your bot quit spamming me please, its quite annoying
[03:57] <somsip> danny: yeah, yeah, yeah :)
[03:57] <roothorick> sigh. Why is canonical STILL trying to force the unfinished nouveau down everyone's throats?
[03:57] <danny> ActionParsnip: I have urban terrori love it
[03:57] <mbeierl> anyone know how to enable focus-follows-mouse in oneric?  I lost that with the upgrade.
[03:57] <danny> somsip: i dont no what language to learn first
[03:57] <mycelium> Is urban terror oss?
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> danny: playdeb has a lot of games
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> mycelium: indeed
[03:57] <mbeierl> !pm > hans_reiser
[03:57] <roothorick> mycelium: the new version based on ioquake3 is IIRC
[03:58] <dr_willis> danny:  python is handy
[03:58] <somsip> danny: what is your goal? I hear good things about python
[03:58] <danny> dr_willis: I was thinking of learning java
[03:58] <Magi__zian_> http://pastebin.com/PkBqsT3J
[03:59] <danny> i have some knowledge of html
[03:59] <dr_willis> python is to handy to ignore.  but i kniw more rexx and perl thwn anything else
[03:59] <somsip> danny: then I might suggest PHP to get a founding in programming techniques. not very exciting though
[03:59] <danny> somsip: ok i will try it
[04:00] <pokpong> ActionParsnip, dr_willis : Only for users on local area network where the server is also
[04:00] <danny> what is this hans reise garbage
[04:00] <pokpong> lol
[04:00] <dr_willis> pokpong:  you ciuld set up a custome hosts file on each nachine then.
[04:00] <pokpong> hans garbage ;)
[04:00] <mbeierl> danny: I asked in #ubuntu-ops and no response there
[04:01] <danny> mbeierl: ok
[04:01] <pokpong> dr_willis: users come and go...its a web portal for vistors
[04:01] <danny> is there a way to block hans_reise
[04:01] <mbeierl> danny: I don't think ignores work for PM
[04:02] <somsip> danny - can you touch type?
[04:02] <mbeierl> !ops - hans_reiser
[04:02] <mbeierl> ops! - hans_reiser
[04:02] <danny> somsip: maybe if i knew what that is
[04:03] <somsip> danny: typing without having to look at the keyboard. If you're going to program, it's a good skill to learn from the start.
[04:03] <danny> somsip: lol yea i can do that
[04:03] <roothorick> I couldn't imagine hunt-and-peck programming @.@
[04:03] <Bsims> how do I rearrange tabs in xchat?
[04:04] <somsip> roothorick: bad habits built up over many years are rather difficult to fix...
[04:04] <mycelium> I program and I can't type without looking
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> danny: type:  /ignore hans_reiser
[04:05] <mbeierl> another question: I enabled compiz/desktop cube with unity integration and now I don't know how to get workspace switcher to show up.  Is there one for unity?
[04:05] <danny> ActionParsnip: thanks
[04:05] <dr_willis> theres some user mode to ignore msgs from nonregestered nicks also
[04:06] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: "/ignore" unknown command in Pidgin for some reason.  Are there really no ops around who can  deal with this?
[04:06] <dr_willis> mbeierl: best to forget the cube. it and unuty dont play nicely
[04:06] <danny> IGNORE
[04:07] <pokpong> dr_willis, so i guess i wont have the choice then to config bind9 as a primary master dns server, right?
[04:07] <dr_willis> andchat has no /ignore either.
[04:07] <mbeierl> dr_willis: but... but.. I'm a cube addict :(
[04:07] <dr_willis> pokpong:  ive no experience with that. bur i think so.
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: or you can right click the nick in the user list on the right
[04:09] <dr_willis> mbeierl:  cube gas gone the way of bellbottom pants.....
[04:09] <dr_willis> has..
[04:09] <mbeierl><EMAIL_ADDRESS>I'm ignoring you ...
[04:09] <pokpong> dr_willis, ok thanks
[04:09] <anomaliz> hello
[04:09] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: ignore doesn't appear to work for PMs... still getting message from him
[04:09] <anomaliz> aye who knows php?
[04:10] <quixotedon> i can't send email using thunderbird on gmail... :(
[04:10] <dr_willis> !php
[04:10] <mbeierl> dr_willis: but... I LIKE bell bottoms.  They fit over my boots
[04:10] <quixotedon> any solution?
[04:10] <_Neytiri_> where in the file tree are filesystems mounted form a sftp connection
[04:10] <danny> Hello ubottu
[04:10] <_Neytiri_> any op around here?
[04:10] <anomaliz> who knows symfony?
[04:10] <quixotedon> it says connection time out
[04:11] <dr_willis> _Neytiri_:  look in   .gvfs?
[04:11] <_Neytiri_> thanks dr_willis
[04:11] <danny> im just ignoring hans now
[04:11] <mbeierl> I'm left with one recourse.  Sorry folks, but I'm leaving until this can be sorted out.\
[04:11] <_Neytiri_> ya hes gotten quite annoying it would be nice if there was a op to kick him
[04:11] <mbeierl> !ops
[04:11] <mbeierl> ops
[04:12] <quixotedon> is hans_reiser a spammer???
[04:12] <DrkCodeman> did ubuntu change the default desktop enviroment away from that search thing
[04:12] <_Neytiri_> dont know how to classify him but its annoying
[04:12] <DrkCodeman> i hated it
[04:12] <dr_willis> quixotedon:  a stupid script
[04:12] <danny> ubottu
[04:12] <dr_willis> DrkCodeman:
[04:12] <quixotedon> i see
[04:13] <pokpong> I am working remote on a my ubuntu server and I'd like to wake its screen up remotly. since there is no user logged on localy how can I send the command? (sending to the tty shown localy gives me : Permission denied)
[04:13] <quixotedon> any solution to thunderbird problems??
[04:13] <dr_willis> DrkCodeman: unity is the default
[04:13] <danny> FloodBot1 should be able to ban spammers
[04:13] <DrkCodeman> dr_willis yeah what if a user doesn't like unity?
[04:13] <DrkCodeman> that search thing in my oppinion is a step back
[04:14] <dr_willis> DrkCodeman: use some ither desktop
[04:14] <_Neytiri_> test | /quit
[04:14] <DrkCodeman> fluxbox still around?
[04:14] <dr_willis> us
[04:14] <Bsims> DrkCodeman: yup
[04:14] <_Neytiri_> advrage coder knows how to block a common exploite
[04:15] <Bsims> DrkCodeman: and xfce is darn good
[04:15] <dr_willis> fluxbox is a window manager
[04:15] <danny> who uses xchat
[04:15] <_Neytiri_> i do danny
[04:15] <aeon-ltd> danny: a lot of people in here and in #xchat
[04:16] <danny> xchat for the win
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> pidgin and irssi ftw :)
[04:16] <michaeljwjr> I just wanna say, having just struggled with Linux Mint for the past week, Ubuntu is superior for me.
[04:16] <michaeljwjr> Everything just works so much nicer.
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> michaeljwjr: plus the community and support is a lot larger
[04:16] <DrkCodeman> isn't mint based on ubuntu
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: yes
[04:17] <DrkCodeman> as ubuntu is based on debian
[04:17] <danny> ActionParsnip: go to Ubuntu Software Center and get XChat
[04:17] <KFP> Hmm, how would I go about installing a specific version of a package? One that's slightly *older* than what the repos are offering?
[04:17] <Bsims> DrkCodeman: though they now are going straight to a modified debian IIRC
[04:17] <DEAD|VGA> Ubuntu is based on Debian because Redhat sucks, and Debian is KING
[04:17] <dr_willis> not quite identical relatiinship DrkCodeman
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> danny: tried it, didn't like it
[04:17] <danny> ActionParsnip: why not
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> danny: I've used pidgin (and before when it was gaim) for 11 years
[04:18] <dr_willis> bye all bbl
[04:18] <Besogon> Hi! Does someone know where to mount the hard drive?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> danny: i've probably tried them all, pidgin just seems to gel in looks and functionality here, so I use it
[04:19] <danny> ActionParsnip: well I guess if you are more comfortable with it and it works for you keep using it
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Besogon: you can mount it anywhere except in /proc
[04:19] <Bsims> ActionParsnip: heh I can run irssi dead drunk and have
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> danny: indeed ;). I only use irssi as I ssh home from work to pass time
[04:19] <KFP> Ops might want to kick "hans_reiser".
[04:19] <DrkCodeman> yes what KFP said
[04:19] <KFP> PM spam.
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> KFP: if you appeal in #ubuntu-ops   it may happen
[04:20] <danny> ActionParsnip: I was on here to get some help, now i am having fun and killing time
[04:20] <aeon-ltd> i assume it's a unintentional out of office reply though
[04:20] <Bsims> aeon-ltd: heh I keep praying for Ubuntu to get fist over TCP/IP support
[04:21] <pokpong> oh i found the way to do it...msg me anyone if interested
[04:21] <Besogon> ActionParsnip: yes. I know. But what is the correct place? "/media" is for removable devices. "/mnt" is for temporary mounted file system.... What else? Where should be mounted permanet file system?
[04:21] <danny> what did you find out
[04:21] <michaeljwjr> Does anyone know why Adobe Air stopped supporting Linux?
[04:21] <pp7> would it matter
[04:21] <pp7> ?
[04:21] <michaeljwjr> Yes I love tweetdeck.
[04:21] <DrkCodeman> [hans_reiser VERSION reply]: mIRC v7.1 Khaled Mardam-Bey
[04:21] <DrkCodeman> just a irc script
[04:21] <michaeljwjr> There is no Linux equivalent.
[04:22] <Besogon> ActionParsnip: I read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[04:23] <Besogon> permanet
[04:23] <Besogon> :)
[04:23] <danny>
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> Besogon: again, literally anywhere you want
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> Besogon: you can make a subfolder in /media and use that if you want
[04:24] <Bsims> Besogon: somewhere under /mnt is traditional
[04:24] <Besogon> OK
[04:24]  * Bsims never got used to /media instead of /mnt
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> Besogon: /mnt can be used to mount ANYTHING, you can run:  sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt    and it will work
[04:25] <danny> ActionParsnip: how do you know so much about Ubuntu
[04:25] <Besogon> ActionParsnip: Oh!! I didn't know thank you
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> Besogon: there is no "that folder is for that reason", whoever told you that is wrong
[04:25] <somsip> Besogon: though FHS does suggest a standard, it doesn't mean it cannot be deviated from
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> Besogon: gvfs is just configured to use folders in /media to, that's all
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> danny: 11 years not give it away?
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> danny: I've used a lot more distros than just ubuntu
[04:26] <Bsims> ActionParsnip: heh what was your first distro? Mine was SuSE 6. something I remember it had the experimental 2.4.0 kernel
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> Bsims: mandrake 7
[04:26] <DrkCodeman> is there a mirror for ubuntu so im not throttled on download speed?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: do you mean for updates?
[04:27] <danny> ActionParsnip: I really use like 4
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: look into apt-fast :)
[04:27] <DrkCodeman> no i mean for the latest iso for 64 bit
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: use torrents
[04:27] <DrkCodeman> torrents suck
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: really, ubuntu torrents successfully max my connection out
[04:27] <pp7> DrkCodeman: why?
[04:27] <DrkCodeman> using billions of sockets to download is retarded
[04:28] <pp7> DrkCodeman: its not billions of sockets
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: you can use axel to download the same file from 2 places at the same time
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: there aren't even a billion sockets to use
[04:28] <Arcademan> lol
[04:28] <DrkCodeman> of course there isn't lol just making a point
[04:28] <pp7> LOL
[04:28] <pp7> DrkCodeman: what point?
[04:29] <danny> you mad no point at all
[04:29] <DrkCodeman> it's inefficient to your os and nic and it will run slower on the download rather than getting it from something like nzb
[04:29] <pp7> point is torrents are faster (with many seeds which is the case when downloading ubuntu)
[04:29] <Jim449991> hail !
[04:30] <OerHeks> DrkCodeman, it is worth the waiting
[04:30] <pp7> DrkCodeman: i've downloaded an ubuntu ISO at 3MB/sec over bittorrent
[04:30] <pp7> DrkCodeman: much faster than from a single mirrow
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> DrkCodeman: try axel with 2 sources (of the same file), it will pull it down from both at the same time, apt-fast uses the same method for system updates and installs
[04:30] <pp7> mirror*
[04:30] <DrkCodeman> winsock is horrible im not on linux yet
[04:31] <Bsims> pp7: I dunno I is happy with the  http://mirror.anl.gov
[04:31] <danny> On windows torrents suck because it contains a lot of viruses and what not, but on ubuntu it is safe
[04:31] <Jim449991> hail !!! people of this channel !
[04:31]  * pp7 is shocked by the level of retardation tonight
[04:32] <Jim449991> pp7 where ?
[04:32] <Jim449991> fukishema ?
[04:32] <computer_> I never understood what winsock even was
[04:32] <Bsims> Jim449991: Ave...
[04:32] <danny> pp7: who did you do that
[04:32] <danny> how*
[04:32] <pp7> what?
[04:32] <somsip> danny: /me does something, but it's not really encourage on a support channel
[04:32] <pp7> "/me" ?
[04:32] <danny> o ok
[04:32] <Bsims> pp7: if you are constantly downloading the cd to update you are doing it wrong
[04:32] <danny> this is a support channel
[04:33] <pp7> Bsims: u lost me
[04:33] <KFP> Hmm, how would I go about installing a specific version of a package? One that's slightly *older* than what the software centre is offering?  Apt perhaps?
[04:33]  * danny slaps pp7
[04:33] <pp7> hahha
[04:33] <somsip> danny: yes. It does get offtopic around this time of day as I believe it's late in the west, but when it's busy, the ops don't tolerate chatter that makes it difficult to focus on support
[04:34] <tonyyarusso> Hey folks.
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> KFP: if you have a source for it you can specify the version number
[04:34] <batlock> eastern time zone usa here is 11:34
[04:34] <danny> o guess the makes sense
[04:34] <pp7> yes the level of retardation makes sense :P
[04:34] <pp7> j/k
[04:34] <_Neytiri_> !8g@quLA
[04:34] <somsip> danny: hence polite requests for inconsiderates to avoid useless comments
[04:35] <_Neytiri_> F*san2&2
[04:35] <danny> ok
[04:35] <_Neytiri_> damn code issues lol sorry
[04:35] <danny> wow
[04:35] <DrkCodeman> ty tonyyarusso
[04:35] <danny> he is finally gone
[04:37] <RocketLauncher> Changing my brightness does nothing. I have an i3 370m on a Gateway NV55C.. any ideas?
[04:37] <RocketLauncher> Intel 3000HD i think..
[04:38] <danny> #ubuntu
[04:39]  * danny  is bored to death x(
[04:40]  * pp7 tazes danny
[04:41]  * danny spazes out as 50,000 volts of electricity circulate through his body
[04:41] <somsip> danny: hence polite requests for inconsiderates to avoid useless comments
[04:41] <somsip> :)
[04:42] <danny> im trying to have some fun
[04:42] <somsip> danny: #ubuntu-offtopic maybe?
[04:43] <danny> no i like the people here and no one is in need of assistance so i thought maybe i should have some fun
[04:45] <danny> anyone want to play some urban terror
[04:46] <linuxuz3r> is that multiplayer
[04:46] <danny> linuxuz3r: yes it is
[04:48] <jaxxdrew> join/ ##C
[04:48] <danny> jaxxdrew: what is that for
[04:49] <danny> somesip: do you play urban terror
[04:50] <danny> somsip: do you play urban terror
[04:50] <aeon-ltd> Ok this is not the channel for that
[04:50] <aeon-ltd> danny: #ubuntu-offtopic is more suited
[04:50] <Jim449991> how can i see the command lines in a gnome 2 launcher?
[04:51] <Jim449991> i did it long time a go and it won't show right now because i want to copy it in another system
[04:51] <danny> aeon-ltd: just trying to make small will waiting for people who need assistance
[04:52] <danny> ment to say small talk
[04:56] <danny> why is it when some people write something it is in red
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> danny: Most likely it's because they're talking to you.
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> depends a bit on your client setup
[04:57] <lgc> Hi. Is there some tool that acts as grep within .odt or .doc files?
[04:58] <pers3us>  :)
[04:58] <tonyyarusso> !info odt2txt | lgc
[04:58] <tonyyarusso> lgc: Use that on the odt, then grep the output
[04:59] <lgc> tonyyarusso, thanks. Is there something like that for .docs?
[04:59] <tonyyarusso> lgc: Not sure
[05:00] <danny> grep
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> !wv | lgc
[05:00] <pers3us> Use microsoft office if you have on wine, it supports regex (not sure)
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> !info wv | lgc
[05:01] <manny> hello new to Ubuntu
[05:01] <danny> hey
[05:01] <lgc> tonyyarusso, there used to be something called tracker, which indexed the whole contents of a file system, but it took forever and somehow the indization would disappear.
[05:01] <Guest40194> ok
[05:02] <danny> night men and women off to bed its getting late
[05:02] <tonyyarusso> !info jodconverter | lgc
[05:02] <Guest40194> any tips anyone can give me to get better at using ubuntu?
[05:02] <Guest40194> been at it for about a week
[05:02] <pp7> Guest40194: how u like it?
[05:02] <Guest40194> all i have is questions the more i read and use it
[05:02] <Guest40194> i love it
[05:02] <tonyyarusso> lgc: So with that you might do jodconverter | odt2txt | grep
[05:02] <danny> the website was a big help for me
[05:03] <Guest40194> Ubuntu.com?
[05:03] <danny> yea under the community forums
[05:03] <Guest40194> ok
[05:04] <Guest40194> are you an experienced linux user?
[05:04] <lgc> tonyyarusso, thanks.
[05:04] <danny> Guest40194:http://www.ubuntu.com/community
[05:04] <danny> yes i am
[05:05] <Guest40194> how long have you been using ubuntu?
[05:05] <pp7> 4 years
[05:05] <danny> about 4-5 years
[05:05] <lauratika> very stuborn issue with proxy in 11.10 cant connect to internet on banshee, totem, ubuntu software centre, synaptic. not using proxy at all but running totem in terminal says can't access proxy server something is messing up the connection to internet... browser, skype and ubuntu one working no problem really need some help
[05:05] <Guest40194> wow
[05:06] <Guest40194> i cant wait until i have a month under my belt cant imagine a year
[05:06] <pp7> lauratika: been there
[05:06] <lauratika> really?!
[05:06] <lauratika> wow pp7 now feel lees frustrated, now just curious on what this is all about any idea?
[05:06] <pp7> lauratika: u sure u disabled it in the global network settings?
[05:06] <Guest39730> hai
[05:07] <lauratika> yes it is, via networks?
[05:07] <pp7> yea
[05:07] <lauratika> or should i go somewhere else?
[05:07] <pp7> what Ubuntu version?
[05:07] <lauratika> 11.10
[05:09] <pp7> hmm
[05:10] <pp7> lauratika: so u set proxy method to "none"?
[05:12] <lauratika> yes i did, then also apply system wide
[05:12] <pp7> lauratika: and still no luck?
[05:12] <lauratika> so far i kow banshee and totem if run as root will connect to internet
[05:12] <pp7> lauratika: if only i could remember how i fixed it
[05:12] <lauratika> that would be awsome
[05:13] <pp7> heh
[05:13] <Lafiir> When I replace Empathy with Pidgin, can I rename the Pidgin-entry in the messaging menu to 'Chat', along with its monochrome icon and more importantly its position in the menu (directly below the status-selector)?
[05:13] <lauratika> and now if a launch totem in terminal and trying to connect to internet says Cannot connect to proxy (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[05:13] <lauratika> this issue has been hanging wild crazy for days now
[05:14] <pp7> lauratika: what does: env | grep proxy    return?
[05:15] <lauratika> run with sudo?
[05:15] <pp7> no
[05:16] <lauratika> http_proxy=http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8123/
[05:16] <lauratika> https_proxy=https://<IP_ADDRESS>:8123/
[05:16] <pp7> ok...
[05:16] <lauratika> but i didnt set those ports only for vidalia and polipo
[05:17] <tonyyarusso> 8123 - isn't that Squid?
[05:17] <lauratika> but i uninstall both
[05:17] <tonyyarusso> Or polipo, yeah.
[05:17] <lauratika> yes but no more polipo
[05:17] <pp7> lauratika: but u set those ports previously?
[05:17] <lauratika> yeah to be set for opera and chrome
[05:17] <pp7> lauratika: so u just gotta find out where those environment variables are stored
[05:18] <pp7> lauratika: and remove it
[05:18] <chris_ace2> Hi, I was just given a copy off my friend of 8.10 how do I just put the CD in to upgrade?
[05:18] <lauratika> but polipo config file it's gone
[05:18] <lauratika> how can i know that?
[05:18] <pp7> lauratika: yea but doesnt look like it restored proxy settings :P
[05:18] <lauratika> cause that is creating the issue
[05:19] <pp7> lauratika: what does cat /etc/environment return?
[05:19] <lauratika> without sudo right?
[05:19] <pp7> yes
[05:19] <lauratika> PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[05:19] <lauratika> LANGUAGE="en_US:es_MX:en_AU:en"
[05:19] <lauratika> LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
[05:19] <lauratika> LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
[05:19] <lauratika> LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
[05:19] <FloodBot1> lauratika: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:20] <seroquel> i have a directory with a ton of differently named 7zip files. will this extract them all into the folder?
[05:20] <pp7> lauratika: hmm nothing proxy related?
[05:20] <lauratika> but the first output show some proxy rigth?
[05:20] <seroquel> for * in *.7z;do 7z e “$*”;done
[05:20] <pp7> lauratika: yea
[05:20] <lauratika> where can this proxy setting be stored?
[05:21] <lauratika> and also it's only on this account, cause running banshee as root connects no prblems at all
[05:21] <seroquel> is this correct syntax to unzip lots of 7zip files in the same directory at the same time? for * in *.7z;do 7z e “$*”;done
[05:22] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, what version are you on did you say?
[05:22] <magn3ts> how can I mute my audio via a command in the command line?
[05:22] <pp7> lauratika: try gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/use_proxy -t bool false (no sudo)
[05:22] <magn3ts> preferably one that can be non-interactive?
[05:22] <magn3ts> I need to give my roomie a way to mute my audio :P
[05:23] <chris_ace2> RichTUK: I am currently on the previous version to 8.10 on my other computer is it a simple, put CD in and upgrade?
[05:23] <lauratika> pp7: done but still not working
[05:23] <pp7> lauratika: hmmm
[05:23] <RichTUK> chris_ace2 what version are you on at the moment?
[05:24] <chris_ace2> RichTUK: how do i work that out?
[05:24] <lauratika> wow seems im stuck between a proxy and my pc...
[05:24] <chris_ace2> 6 something i think
[05:24] <pp7> lauratika: try sudo http_proxy= (enter)
[05:24] <pp7> lauratika: and try without sudo
[05:24] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, if you turn the computer upside down it should say, maybe, thats where mine is
[05:25] <pp7> lauratika: do same for https
[05:25] <lauratika> with sudo brings the help menu with out bring the terminal name again
[05:25] <chris_ace2> RichTUK: which one do i turn upside down?
[05:25] <pp7> ah
[05:26] <pp7> lauratika: try sudo export http_proxy= (enter)
[05:26] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, the computer you want to upgrade
[05:26] <lauratika> sorry, with sudo brings help menu and without it dont fix it
[05:26] <lauratika> i mean still blocked by the proxy
[05:26] <chris_ace2> RichTUK: will do that now the tower box or monitor screen?
[05:26] <pp7> lauratika: try with "export"
[05:27] <lauratika> only export?
[05:27] <pp7> no
[05:27] <lauratika> in terminal you mean?
[05:27] <pp7> what i said above
[05:27] <pp7> yes in terminal
[05:27] <seroquel> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop that has an ssd
[05:27] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, have you tried unpluging and reconnecting it to the power suply
[05:27] <seroquel> is there anything special i have to do? i am running ubuntu 11.10
[05:28] <lauratika> you want to see the output is big?
[05:28] <tonyyarusso> seroquel: You mean because of the SSD?  Nope.
[05:28] <chris_ace2> RichTUK: i will try that now
[05:28] <pp7> lauratika: no
[05:28] <acu> what ubuntu corresponds to debian squeeze ?
[05:28] <pp7> lauratika: error?
[05:28] <lauratika> export without quotes rigth
[05:29] <lauratika> no error more like the help menu
[05:29] <tonyyarusso> acu: There isn't a direct correspondence.
[05:29] <tonyyarusso> acu: However, 10.04 and Squeeze had similar freeze dates.
[05:29] <acu> well - indirect closest guess
[05:29] <chris_ace2> RichTUK: says NTLDR is missing
[05:29] <tonyyarusso> Squeeze was slightly later.
[05:29] <pp7> lauratika: yes
[05:29] <tonyyarusso> acu: So, some mix of 10.04 and 10.10 probably.
[05:29] <lauratika> well bring the help menu
[05:30] <pp7> hmm
[05:30] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, you might need to replace the Network Tearducr Lens Drive Recovery to use the cd
[05:30] <acu> tonyyarusso,  great - I have two laptops with Atheros wifi - one 5K one 9K and none of them works - well I can see them by iwconfig (wlan shows up) but it does not see the wifi network - I do not know what to do
[05:30] <chris_ace2> is that expensive RichTUK ?
[05:31] <Guest7196> hello
[05:31] <lauratika> so basically the proxy is set up some where rigth pp7?
[05:31] <pp7> yep
[05:31] <Guest7196> How do I join a ubuntu newbie server?
[05:32] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, it wast the last time it happend to me, there might be a workaround tho, you might be able to do an RPM upgrade like Fedora, do you have the internet
[05:32] <w30> Guest /j #ubuntu-beginners
[05:32] <pp7> lauratika: anything proxy related in: ~/.bash_profile   ?
[05:33] <chris_ace2> RichTUK: yes i have dsl internet how do i update?
[05:33] <w30> Guest7196,  /j #ubuntu-beginners
[05:33] <PaperSpeaker> When I first install ubuntu, what should I install?
[05:33] <PaperSpeaker> ok
[05:33] <PaperSpeaker> thanks
[05:34] <pp7> lauratika: actually: ~/.profile
[05:34] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, if you go to the cmd and type sudo atp-get rpm ubuntu 8.10-package-upgrade it might work
[05:35] <chris_ace2> gives me a error doesn't know cmd RichTUK
[05:35] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, hmmm strange
[05:35] <lauratika> pp7: i dont have .profile in my home folder
[05:35] <pp7> lauratika: strange
[05:35] <lauratika> find it
[05:35] <pp7> lauratika: check again
[05:35] <lauratika> its a file not a folder
[05:36] <pp7> lauratika: correct
[05:36] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, maybe you need to update your repos
[05:36] <chris_ace2> RichTUK how do i do that?
[05:37] <lauratika> pp7: nothing proxy related and now we noe the rascal is somewhere but not where damn!
[05:37] <pp7> lauratika: hmm
[05:38] <pp7> lauratika: have u rebooted since having this problem?
[05:38] <lauratika> yes many times and also after disabling the proxy in network menu and also after uninstalling vidalia and polipo
[05:39] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, pacman-Syy ubuntu8.10-core-pakage-update -S upgrade 8.10
[05:39] <lauratika> i have a guest account on this pc and has the same issue
[05:39] <chris_ace2> woo too thank you RichTUK its doing something!
[05:39] <ghoti> If I `ufw allow {yadda}`, I gather that ufw sets up my iptables directly, but does it store my change anywhere?  If I have custom allow rules, what's the recommended way to make them come back when I reboot?
[05:40] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, awesome, whats it saying in terminal
[05:40] <chris_ace2> RichTUK i typed it into google and found it
[05:41] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, dont be an idiot its a promt command
[05:42] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, maybe its a vga problem tho, i remember there was a common problem that vga took power away from the cd drives in 8.10
[05:42] <chris_ace2> RichTUK i have a ati card
[05:42] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, ah maybe its that, linux has huge ati issues, sometimes i think it works best with no gfx card attall
[05:43] <MahaVishnu> nvidia is the way to go for linux.
[05:44] <chris_ace2> ati is great has always worked and i am trying to upgrade to 8.10
[05:44] <dr_willis> ati has linux issues. :-)  not linuxs fault
[05:44] <dj_segfault> The problem is, every year or so that flip flops.  For a while ATI worked with Linux much more closely than NVidia,  but right now NVidia works better.
[05:45] <MahaVishnu> idk, i've always had problems with ati + linux so I just stopped buying them.
[05:45] <chris_ace2> should i upgrade to nvidia before upgrading to 8.10?
[05:45] <dr_willis> we will hav to see how ati and nvudia handle wayland when it gets here.
[05:45] <MahaVishnu> chris_ace2, no see if your card works.. why wouldn't you.
[05:45] <chris_ace2> it won't boot
[05:45] <dr_willis> !8.10
[05:45] <MahaVishnu> what do you mean it won't boot thats not telling me crap
[05:46] <chris_ace2> ntldr errors
[05:46] <chris_ace2> Whatever that is
[05:46] <Flyfox> you should get a gtx 590, much better than ati
[05:46] <mr0wl> hey
[05:46] <MahaVishnu> ntldr? isn't that windows related
[05:46] <mr0wl> does anyone know where gnome-mplayer stores it's screenshots?
[05:46] <chris_ace2> i need one of those flyfox?
[05:46] <truepurple> I see flash listed in synaptic, but how do I tell whether it is 64bit or not?
[05:47] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, if your on 64 it will show you 64bit packages won't it?
[05:47] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, I don't know, is that the case?
[05:47] <dr_willis> flash in synaptic is a flash installer tool.not flash itself
[05:47] <chris_ace2> MahaVishnu i think i have hard drive issues at the moment because i was looking at 8.10 64byte release
[05:47] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, yea pretty dang sure.
[05:48] <MahaVishnu> chris_ace2, are you dual booting? cause ntldr is for like xp or windows 7 or something
[05:48] <chris_ace2> MahaVishnu no it is only linux on it its on the other computer
[05:49] <MahaVishnu> huh?
[05:49] <chris_ace2> RichTUK told me packman -Syy
[05:49] <chris_ace2> which worked
[05:49] <chris_ace2> but now it says ntldr issues
[05:49] <truepurple> Is 11.1.102 the latest version of flash for ubuntu/linux?
[05:49] <pers3us> chris_ace2 packman? Have you installed arch or ubuntu?
[05:50] <MahaVishnu> chris_ace2, yea are you even on ubuntu !?
[05:50] <siianeukbunda> who from indonesia ?
[05:51] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, I have <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:51] <siianeukbunda> please
[05:51] <Guest43976> http://paynize.com/ref.php?page=act/ref&invcod=9872

[05:52] <MahaVishnu> what the heck is that.\
[05:52] <truepurple>  I tried to install flash listed in synaptic but it gave me a strange error about dependencies "flashplugin-nonfree: Depends: flashplugin-installer but it is not going to be installed"
[05:52] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, in a terminal ( close synaptic ) sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[05:52] <chris_ace2> cyrix
[05:53] <chris_ace2> its my old computer
[05:53] <MahaVishnu> idk what cyrix is is that unix/linux ?

[05:54] <chris_ace2> the other is the cyrix computer
[05:54] <dr_willis> cyrix is an old cpu i recall
[05:54] <MahaVishnu> cyrix makes processors right?
[05:54] <MahaVishnu> ahh!
[05:54] <MahaVishnu> wow. how old is that machine chris_ace2
[05:54] <chris_ace2> 4 years
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> 4 years aint so old
[05:55] <MahaVishnu> I thought they went out of business or something long ago.
[05:55] <dr_willis> old cruddy junk when there were new.
[05:55] <MahaVishnu> yea it's not.
[05:55] <pers3us> chris_ace2 really?
[05:55] <chris_ace2> it was a anniversary present from my wife
[05:55] <MahaVishnu> is this guy for real ?
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: nice nick btw :)
[05:55] <RichTUK> chris_ace2 maybe yu could update to a commodore 64 before you try updating an OS
[05:55] <MahaVishnu> thanks ;-P
[05:56] <pers3us> seriously is this guy for real?

[05:57] <truepurple> dr_willis, a week ago
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> chris_ace2: no its some core2duo thingy
[05:57] <chris_ace2> I can put two xeon processors in this
[05:58] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, will that install the plugin as well, or do I need to also install that synaptic listing?
[05:58] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, I believe it does it all for you.
[05:58] <dr_willis> truepurple:  try it now then try installing again
[05:58] <RichTUK> ActionParsnip, make and model of what, its chris_ace2 computer not mine, specs look nice tho, whats the cooling like chris
[05:58] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, have you done sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[05:58] <MahaVishnu> to get java etc.
[05:59] <chris_ace2> good thank you RichTUK
[05:59] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, I believe so
[05:59] <pers3us> I am out of here.. you are scary chris_ace2
[05:59] <Xeo_> ok <IP_ADDRESS> hoast is in my hosts file and host is in my hostname file but it still displays as (non)
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> RichTUK: I thought you'd seen the make and model of the system in question...
[05:59] <chris_ace2> sorry pers3us thank you for help
[06:00] <MahaVishnu> Xeo_, it goes like this in /etc/hosts <IP_ADDRESS>	localhost
[06:00] <MahaVishnu> <IP_ADDRESS>	Media
[06:00] <MahaVishnu> Xeo_, Media is my hostname
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> Cyrix MII 300Mhz. Power!!!!!!
[06:00] <Xeo_> i have that in tn there as well
[06:00] <truepurple> dr_willis, the flash is loading, but that flash install option is unchecked in synaptic, should I install it?
[06:00] <chris_ace2> ActionParsnip mine is 733mhz LOL
[06:00] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, How do I check for sure?
[06:01] <MahaVishnu> Xeo_, what does /etc/hostname say ?
[06:01] <Xeo_> how do i msg like that?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> chris_ace2: nice, wikipedia says that if someone used and AWE64 soundcard it could only use 32 of the channels
[06:01] <zeep2986> what option do i need to input to rmdir with files still in it
[06:01] <dr_willis> truepurple: what flash is loading
[06:02] <chris_ace2> ActionParsnip is that what is causing my error?
[06:02] <truepurple> dr_willis, a flash game
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> zeep2986: if you use:   rm -r folder     it will delete all files and folders and sub folders in the folder you name
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> chris_ace2: what is your error?
[06:02] <zeep2986> thank you
[06:02] <RichTUK> ntldr was the error i think he said
[06:02] <pers3us> some ntldr thing :P
[06:03] <dr_willis> truepurple: if its working.. leave stuff alone i guess
[06:03] <chris_ace2> yes thank you RichTUK & pers3us
[06:03] <Xeo_> nvm i got it after reboot
[06:03] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:03] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, have you tried to reboot
[06:03] <pers3us> can you write your error once again? and what are you doing right now.  chris_ace2
[06:03] <chris_ace2> RichTUK 8 times now :(
[06:03] <truepurple> dr_willis, well the original issue of graphics not updating properly still partially exists.
[06:04] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, so type that, even if I have it already?
[06:04] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, what file syslem are you using, also do you have a cd drive in that
[06:04] <chris_ace2> pers3us NTLDR is Missing, press any ket to restart
[06:04] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, yea and does it say like '56' for installed and '56' for candidate
[06:05] <pers3us> I am not sure but this happens when you have ntfs partition ..
[06:05] <MahaVishnu> chris_ace2, and have you NEVER had windows on that computer, cause ntldr is for windows!!!!!!!!
[06:05] <pers3us> marked as active
[06:05] <chris_ace2> i did once
[06:05] <pers3us> any partition with windows?
[06:05] <MahaVishnu> do you still have an ntfs partition ?
[06:05] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, it says 43
[06:06] <pers3us> i think he has one of the partition as windows..
[06:06] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, under installed ?
[06:06] <chris_ace2> I don't know how to check
[06:06] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, and candidate
[06:06] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, you got it then.
[06:06] <pers3us> ok you have the ubuntu cd with you right?
[06:06] <chris_ace2> yes pers3us
[06:07] <truepurple> perlstein, no, I used a net install from unetbootin
[06:07] <Xeo_> sorry where is the config for vncserver to set it to start a gnome screen not an x screen?
[06:07] <pers3us> ok put that in the drive and boot with it.. can you boot into ubuntu?
[06:07] <chris_ace2> pers3us yes it starts spins up then comes up with NTLDR
[06:07] <chris_ace2> error
[06:08] <pers3us> ok no no ..
[06:08] <Jim449991> how to force the network in the terminal to connect ?
[06:08] <MahaVishnu> chris_ace2, can you download a fresh ubuntu iso on a different pc and md5 check it before you burn it to disk and then install from that .... thats what I'd do.
[06:08] <pers3us> no re
[06:08] <pers3us> he is not able to boot into ubuntu
[06:09] <chris_ace2> I don't think its booting properly anymore.
[06:09] <MahaVishnu> yea he needs a new ubuntu .iso I think that disk is bad.
[06:09] <Veovis_Muaddib> Where can I go for UEFI help?
[06:09] <truepurple> dr_willis, MahaVishnu, is the install from this page -http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ the same as the install from that command?
[06:09] <Veovis_Muaddib> UEFI shell help
[06:09] <pers3us> are are you booting into cd or not? i mean is cd your first boot device?
[06:09] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, does your computer know to look for the cd on boot?
[06:09] <pers3us> chris_ace2
[06:10] <hellslinger> I can boot from USB stick on my UEFI system, but I cannot boot after installed, anyone know what to do
[06:10] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, yea pretty much
[06:10] <chris_ace2> I can hear the CD spin up then when it comes to the other part after checking the memory says NTLDR
[06:10] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, since it wants you to use apt for ubuntu anyway lol.
[06:10] <chris_ace2> So I guess not?
[06:10] <RichTUK> chris_ace2, you need to get into your bios
[06:10] <RichTUK> and tell it to boot from cd
[06:11] <pers3us> aarrgghh .. whatever you do your cd will spin.
[06:11] <chris_ace2> how?
[06:11] <dr_willis> truepurple: i only use the packages from the repos. i never directly download from adobe.
[06:11] <MahaVishnu> chris_ace2, esc. del f12 it will tell you on your screen on boot how to enter setup or bios.
[06:11] <truepurple> dr_willis, why is that?
[06:11] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, should I install the version listed in synaptic as well?
[06:11] <chris_ace2> Ok I will press them all together?
[06:11] <dr_willis> its easier.. for one rhing truepurple
[06:12] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, is your flash not working now?
[06:12] <pers3us> the moment your computer power turns on, see on the bottom of the screen, there would be some things listed like press this to go there .. read and tell us chris_ace2
[06:12] <truepurple> dr_willis,  MahaVishnu the option for setting is darkened out in flash, any idea why/how I can enable the option?
[06:12] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, right, it is not working right
[06:12] <CarlFK> chris_ace2: or try unplugging your keyboard - you may get an error saying "press X to enter setup" plug it back in, it whatever X is
[06:12] <chris_ace2> Ok, firmware update
[06:12] <MahaVishnu> idk flash sucks man.
[06:12] <pers3us> chris_ace2 don't press together
[06:12] <chris_ace2> Thats the CD?
[06:12] <lystra> Anyone here get iSCSI working with a bonded interface?
[06:12] <pers3us> nope
[06:12] <chris_ace2> brb going to try again
[06:12] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, and you have flashplugin-installer installed now ?
[06:12] <pers3us> there will be some options
[06:12] <pers3us> k
[06:12] <dr_willis> i basically turn off flash these days
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: using the repos is gppd as when a new version is updated on the repo, you will get the new flash, if you manually install you will need to manually update too
[06:13] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, yes, but not the non-free flash listing in synaptic
[06:13] <Transx3> I just got done installing Ubuntu 11.11 but when i try to boot it gets stick at verifying dmi pool data...
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: if you are using oneiric, enable the partner repo and install adobe-installer
[06:13] <Transx3> Any help?
[06:13] <chris_ace2> Ok boot off CD :)
[06:13] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, all I needed was flashplugin-downloader & flashplugin-installer
[06:13] <chris_ace2> Thank you pers3us!
[06:13] <truepurple> ActionParsnip,  it is 11.04
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> Transx3: turn off the system and pull the power from the tower, leave it off for 10 - 20 mins then re-attach and turn on
[06:14] <Transx3> Really?
[06:14] <Transx3> Lol
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> !info adobe-installer natty
[06:14] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, you don't have trouble with flash screens updating right sometimes or setting option darkened out?
[06:14] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, it's called flashplugin-installer afaik
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> Transx3: yes, your RAM is full of errors, if you power off, the errors will clear and you can boot
[06:14] <Transx3> Well, thank you.
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: yeah, or flashplugin-nonfree, either is fine
[06:15] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, got any idea why settings would be darkened out for my flash or how I might enable it?
[06:15] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, yes my settings are greyed out.
[06:15] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, I have never needed to look at that though until now..
[06:15] <pers3us> chris_ace2 . no prob
[06:15] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, I tried that, but it said it couldn't install, complained of dependancies
[06:15] <Transx3> Were you guys trying to get flash working on chromium or Firefox?
[06:16] <Transx3> I had to do that not too long ago on lubuntu
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: just install flashplugin-nonfree and you will get flash, if you have a 64bit OS then I suggest you use the sevenmachines PPA (assuming its up) and install the package there
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'      Thanks
[06:16] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, install it over the flash plugin installer that seems to come with its own?
[06:17] <MahaVishnu> ok im confused ActionParsnip the package is flashplugin-installer isn't it ? Iwhen I search for flashplugin-nonfree I find flashplugin-installer
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: i believe one is  a transitional
[06:17] <MahaVishnu> idk what that mean ;\
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> !info flashplugin-nonfree
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> !info flashplugin-nonfree natty
[06:18] <MahaVishnu> ic
[06:18] <MahaVishnu> cause the package is 32bit but it runs as 64bit ?
[06:19] <MahaVishnu> ii  flashplugin-downloader:i386            <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>                 Adobe Flash Player plugin downloader
[06:19] <MahaVishnu> and im on 64 bit too..
[06:19] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, that command gave me no output at all, just threw me to a invalid prompt (you know, the kind without a directory address that doesn't take commands)
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: on oneiric?
[06:19] <MahaVishnu> yea
[06:19] <pers3us> arre no .. package is 32 bit but uses a wrapper to run on 64bit.
[06:20] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, hit ctrl+c to return to a normal prompt.
[06:20] <pers3us> what is the isues?
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: uninstall both and enable the partner repo, you can then install adobe-installer and get 64bit flash
[06:20] <pers3us> MahaVishnu?
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: it's one long command
[06:20] <truepurple> pers3us, I can not get flash to work right
[06:20] <pers3us> ok
[06:20] <Veovis_Muaddib> Can anyone point me in the direction of UEFI shell help?  #efi and #uefi don't exist, no information that I need in Google, etc...
[06:20] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, I copy pasted it in one piece, and it did as I described
[06:21] <MahaVishnu> !partner repo
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: http://paste.ubuntu.com/762495/
[06:21] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, got a link for how to add partner repo ?
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: like that
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: you can uncommemnt the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list   or you can run the software sources app in dash
[06:22] <maum> where is synaptic on ubuntu 11.10?
[06:22] <MahaVishnu> yea I just figured that out thank you ;-)
[06:22] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, that doesn't help, but looking closer, I see I missed a ' at the end when I was copy/pasting
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> maum: in the repos
[06:22] <maum> ActionParsnip, I couldn't find it
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: you gotta be accurate dude
[06:22] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, I upgraded from 11.04 im guessing it didn't take my flash with it ?
[06:23] <maum> ActionParsnip, repos? where it is?
[06:23] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, You're not telling me anything I don't know, it is called a accident
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> !info synaptic | maum
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> maum: be sure you have universe repo enabled
[06:23] <maum> ActionParsnip,how can I do?
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: I know
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> maum: there is software  sources in dash
[06:24] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/762497/
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> maum: or you can uncomment the lines in sources.list
[06:24] <maum> ActionParsnip, should I install it from terminal using apt-get?
[06:25] <maum> ??
[06:26] <pers3us> maum why do you want synaptic?
[06:26] <maum> pers3us, not nessary to get synaptic on ubuntu 11.10?
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> maum: whichever way you prefer
[06:26] <pers3us> truepurple can you tell me what is the problem you facing? i saw your paste, what is the issue?
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: seems sevenmachines ppa is totally gone :(
[06:26] <maum> pers3us, because it installs appendencies..
[06:27] <pers3us> maum you don't need synaptic at all, if you work with command line or use software center
[06:27] <maum> pers3us, because it installs dependencies
[06:27] <pers3us> maum: software center does that too
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> maum: they all do, or the package system would break
[06:27] <maum> pers3us, really? on ubuntu 11.04 . it doesn't
[06:27] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, is this ok? I did what you said http://pastebin.com/P0CXFzSy
[06:27] <pers3us> maum who told you that? It does ..
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> maum: it does, if an app needs deps they are downloaded automatically
[06:28] <truepurple> pers3us, flash screens don't update right, scrolling up and down on the page fixes it, and settings option is grayed out, so messing with hardware acceleration like someone else suggested doesn't seem possible.
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: looks good, you can clean up with:  sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-downloader:i386
[06:28] <pers3us> truepurple basically, at the moment your flash is working, though not working correctly?
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: you could go for the manual install method with the .so, shame natty doesn't have the love :(
[06:29] <maum> pers3us, when I want to install ffmpeg, it has many dependencies but the package center didn't find the dependencies but synaptic did. so...
[06:29] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, does that have anything to do with nspluginwrapper? I uninstalled that upon instructions, I was told it was buggy
[06:29] <truepurple> pers3us, yes
[06:29] <maum> ActionParsnip, where can I find the menu  (System > Administration ) on ubuntu 11.10? I cannot find it.
[06:30] <maum> where can I find the menu  (System > Administration ) on ubuntu 11.10? I cannot find it.
[06:30] <pers3us> maum I think you didn't run a simple upate command after install. which downloads list of packages, whereas it gets downloaded in synaptic (not sure)  anyway, just run this command in the  sudo apt-get update
[06:30] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, thanks! maybe my flash won't freeze all the time now. wondering why I had 32bit flash though.
[06:30] <maum> pers3us, ok btw where can I find the menu  (System > Administration ) on ubuntu 11.10? I cannot find it.
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: its how it goes, unless you take the extra steps you'll get the 32bit
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> maum: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[06:31] <KFP> maum: See the "cog" in the upper right corner.
[06:31] <pers3us> truepurple idoubt nspluginwrapper is culprit here, i think Adobe released a version which supports 64bit
[06:31] <truepurple> pers3us, ActionParsnip worth noting is that earlier version seemed to work fine, this flash problem came out of nowhere, but how can I use a earlier version if this is the case?
[06:31] <MahaVishnu> ActionParsnip, oh wait wasn't thinking. So if you don't enable the parner repo you get 32bit flash every time?
[06:31] <MahaVishnu> never knew that.
[06:32] <truepurple> pers3us, Yes, I got the weblink, but I am told that flash plugin installer is the same
[06:32] <maum> KFP: I don't understand
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: yes
[06:32] <pers3us> okso you have latest 64 bit one installed or the old one with nspluginwrapper installd?
[06:32] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, what is sevenmachines ppa, and should I really care whether it is installed or not?
[06:32] <KFP> maum:  The icon next to your user name and the clock.
[06:33] <truepurple> pers3us, I just reinstalled it, so I take it that is the latest, I read off a number and someone else said that is the version they have too
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> maum: all the icons from those menus is in dash, you will have a filter on the right but a simple text search will show what you need
[06:33] <pers3us> hmm .. truepurple can you paste the output of this command dpkg --get-selections |grep flash\
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: its an old 3rd party ppa to get beta 64bit flash in Ubbuntu, it is now stable and in the partner repo now, so maintaining the PPA is redundant
[06:33] <pers3us> ignore the slash in the last
[06:33] <maum> there is one system setting menu but there is no System > Administration menu
[06:34] <MahaVishnu> finding out I had 32bit flash on 64bit really makes me wonder what else I don't know about ubuntu.
[06:34] <pers3us> truepurple this command dpkg --get-selections |grep flash
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> maum: what are you wanting?
[06:34] <maum> KFP, ActionParsnip : there is system setting menu but no administration menu.
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> maum: which icon?
[06:35] <truepurple> pers3us, flashplugin-installer	install  flashplugin-nonfree	install
[06:35] <maum> KFP, ActionParsnip : I want to find administration menu
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> maum: yes but to then do what?
[06:35] <pers3us> gimme a moment truepurple
[06:35] <maum> ActionParsnip, to change gdm theme
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> maum: search dash for:  login
[06:36] <truepurple> pers3us, also paste.ubuntu.com/762497/
[06:36] <maum> ActionParsnip, I don't know what it mean
[06:37] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, so you play flash games or use flash heavy websites? ever had trouble with flash screens updating properly?
[06:37] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, just do sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader. then edit /etc/apt/sources.list remove the # from before the 2 lines under partner repo. save the file. do a sudo apt-get update then do a sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin then in a terminal type flash-player-properties to edit the settings ?
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> maum: press your windows key, dash is now showing, use the keyboard to search in the search box and type:  login    then wait
[06:38] <MahaVishnu> that look good parsnip ?
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> MahaVishnu: i'd add --purge to the remove commands
[06:38] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, So what does all that do in the end?
[06:39] <maum> ActionParsnip, user account found by it
[06:39] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, give you 64bit flash and the ability to edit the settings ... what you wanted it to do!
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> maum: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-change-lightdm-login-screen.html
[06:39] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, I just did all that and my flash is working better now.
[06:40] <truepurple> ActionParsnip,  "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader." ?
[06:40] <Transx3> Hey action, th at
[06:40] <maum> ActionParsnip,  ok
[06:40] <Transx3> Hey action, that didn't help,  any other ideas?
[06:40] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, what bad behavior was it doing before that it isn't doing now?
[06:40] <pers3us> truepurple if MahaVishnu's method doesn't solve your problem, you try installing it manually. after downloading from adobe =
[06:40] <excelsio1> hello
[06:41] <excelsior> hello
[06:41] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, was just real slow before.
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> Transx3: what is your issue?
[06:41] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, also was no way ( that I know of ) to edit the settings.
[06:41] <truepurple> pers3us, I was told it that was the same thing as the install flash plugin installer thing
[06:42] <truepurple> pers3us, minus updates
[06:42] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, honestly dude. just do what I told you lol. I gave you every step!!
[06:42] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, MahaVishnu  "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader." ?
[06:42] <Transx3> I just got door installing ubuntu and when ever i try to boot it gets stick at a black screen with white letters. It says different ide channels and shows all my drives and at the bottom it says, "verifying dmi pool data".
[06:42] <Transx3> *done
[06:43] <Transx3> *stuck
[06:43] <Transx3> Lol, sorry.
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: you can specify multiple packages in remove:  sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:43] <MahaVishnu> oh thats good to know.
[06:44] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, instead of "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer && sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-downloader."?
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> Transx3: oh yes, all I can recommend is powering off for a long time and/or taking the BIOS battery out. You need to clear the old error logs
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: same difference
[06:45] <Transx3> Now i tried again, still same screen but below the verify part it says boot from cd:
[06:45] <Transx3> Well, i restored all factory bios setting...
[06:46] <ruslan_osmanov> hi. I want install an old version of gedit package with /usr/local prefix with some program prefix as well. How do I make it with dpkg?
[06:46] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, try taking out your battery for like 5 minutes bro.
[06:46] <MahaVishnu> it's good advice.
[06:46] <ruslan_osmanov> ... having a deb file
[06:47] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, MahaVishnu, it said "E: Unable to locate package flashplugin-install", ignore this and continue with the rest of the instructions?
[06:47] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, "installer"
[06:48] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree" ?
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: instead of instantly pasting errors here, read the screen and the flow of the chat and you would have seen the issue
[06:48] <MahaVishnu> ruslan_osmanov, whats the point of this ?
[06:48] <ruslan_osmanov> MahaVishnu, gedit 3 has a bug in snippets
[06:49] <Transx3> So unplugging it alone won't do the trick, you gotta take out the bios battery?
[06:49] <MahaVishnu> ruslan_osmanov, I could be wrong but doesn't changing a prefix of a program get done with a make file or something when building from source... someone help him lol.
[06:50] <truepurple> MahaVishnu, use "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree" as the command?
[06:50] <MahaVishnu> Transx3, taking out the battery clears the CMOS of old data
[06:51] <MahaVishnu> thats part of it...
[06:51] <truepurple> so does temporary jumper placement, clears out the cmos without the need to remove the battery
[06:51] <MahaVishnu> huh?
[06:51] <Transx3> i did that but it does the sane thing..
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> Transx3: i've had to do it a few times,  let all power drain out, leave it about half an hour then it should be ok
[06:52] <Transx3> Alright, i hope, thanks.
[06:52] <maum> ActionParsnip, I like to do this : http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/222/20-gdm-themes-for-ubuntu-you-probably-haven-t-seen-before ... below in the page it requires system > administration menu.
[06:53] <truepurple> MahaVishnu,  "edit /etc/apt/sources.list" how?
[06:53] <MahaVishnu> truepurple, gedit or nano
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> maum: that's from 2009 which is when Jaunty was around.
