[11:01] <chriscohen> hi - recently converted from windows where i used tortoiseSVN... i was wondering if anyone could recommend a reasonable GUI-based SVN client for ubuntu 9.04?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> !svn
[11:01] <rski> chriscohen: tortoisesvn
[11:01] <rski> or is it only for windows still?
[11:01] <indus> Sicilia2: did u try with another cd?
[11:02] <Sicilia2> indus: how is bad and i can burn it in windows ? also i try 20 cd
[11:02] <Sicilia2> indus: new cd
[11:02] <indus> Sicilia2: ok just a question i like to ask
[11:02] <_chetan_> !who
[11:02] <Enissay> hi guys, till yesterday i can access my XinXP and Ubuntu from and to eachother, yesterday WinXP crashed then restarted twice, and now i cannot see it on the network, however i still can access my ubuntu from it, what's wrong please?
[11:02] <chriscohen> rski: windows only
[11:02] <Sicilia2> indus: ok
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> chriscohen: esvn
[11:02] <indus> Sicilia2: brasero what speeds are you using to burn? also, whats the file size
[11:03] <comicinker> chriscohen: rapidsvn, svn script collection for nautilus, maybe dolphin has something for svn already. konqueror had amazing svn support
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> !info esvn
[11:03] <Sicilia2> indus: i try all speed and i try auto :\
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> !info rapidsvn

[11:03] <erikk71> hi all
[11:03] <indus> ActionParsnip:gui for subversion <shrug>
[11:03] <ZoeyMarie> @ indus ok, so I enabled capture, and I still can't figure it out. next thoughts
[11:03] <indus> ZoeyMarie: no further thoughts :)
[11:04] <ZoeyMarie> arrrgh! haha this is gonna give me grey hairs.
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> indus: not something i use
[11:04] <erikk71> what program can i use to tell me what type memory is in my computer
[11:04] <indus> ZoeyMarie: have to keep playing with this, try putting the mic in line in socket
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> indus: some folks like gui
[11:04] <brijith> hai
[11:04] <ZoeyMarie> it's usb.
[11:04] <mechdave> erikk71, cat /proc/meminfo
[11:04] <indus> ActionParsnip: maybe,but havent heard ppl use it for subversion yet
[11:04] <indus> erikk71: the bios does tell you that
[11:05] <indus> ZoeyMarie: usb mic?
[11:05] <erikk71> no
[11:05] <ZoeyMarie> it's the webcam that we figured out was working for pictures... it has a mic in it.
[11:05] <indus> ZoeyMarie: aah i dont think that works in ubuntu, but get a second opinion
[11:05] <levene> I am upgrading from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, and am being asked if I want to "Remove obselete packages", 102 of them. These include useful-looking things like cups-pdf. Should I remove them?
[11:05] <indus> ZoeyMarie: i too had a webcam with mic but didnt work
[11:06] <indus> levene: yes remove
[11:06] <erikk71> nope
[11:06] <ZoeyMarie> grr... okay... I suppose I need to get my mixer back out, then... (except it's 200 miles away)
[11:06] <indus> erikk71: what info are you looking for?
[11:06] <levene> indus: so will cups-pdf continue to work once the upgrade is complete?
[11:06] <ZoeyMarie> I'll figure it out. thanks though. :)
[11:06] <erikk71> it wont tell if its ddr 2100 or 2700
[11:06] <indus> levene: it will install new version of cups
[11:06] <levene> indus: ah, good.
[11:06] <indus> levene: have backup? of important stuff?
[11:06] <ZoeyMarie> where would I get a second opinion, by the way?
[11:07] <indus> ZoeyMarie: here :) or put up in the forums
[11:07] <levene> indus: some of it :)
[11:07] <ZoeyMarie> okay
[11:07] <pshr_> how to clear the history of commands in commandline
[11:07] <pshr_> history gives the recently executed commands
[11:07] <levene> pshr_: history -c or something
[11:07] <levene> pshr_: help history
[11:07] <mechdave> pshr_, remove .bash_history in your home directory
[11:07] <indus> levene: hmm hopefully it should be fine,the upgrade process is pretty solid now
[11:08] <pshr_> help history is big one
[11:08] <pshr_> lets me see mechdave
[11:08] <indus> levene: good luck
[11:08] <Rods_Tiger> I'm setting up an ubuntu machine - is it best to use cifs:// with samba to share directories on it to my MacBook, or is there an advantage in using  afp:// with netatalk?
[11:08] <levene> indus: thanks
[11:08] <levene> pshr_: history -c; history -w should do it
[11:08] <mechdave> pshr_, history -c will clear your history
[11:09] <indus> ZoeyMarie: it seems it will work
[11:09] <levene> pshr_: (provided you don't have any other bash instances running which will write their history on exit)
[11:09] <indus> ZoeyMarie: is your webcam working btw?
[11:09] <pshr_> levene, thanks
[11:09] <pshr_> got it
[11:09] <indus> ZoeyMarie: you didnt tell me

[11:10] <chriscohen> ActionParsnip comicinker: thanks for the help

[11:13] <Pirate_Hunter> anyone care to help me?
[11:13] <CQ_> hello, I need to upgrade a hardy server to intrepid from teh console... apt-get dist-upgrade does't do it, it just upgrades the kernel to a newer version... what do I need to run?
[11:13] <mquin> pshr_: yes
[11:14] <CQ_> or just change the apt sources.list to point everything to intrepid?
[11:14] <pshr_> i get a no password hashes loaded error mquin
[11:14] <ZoeyMarie> indus. that looks like it'll work, how do I open that file? (since they're hidden?) and how do I make my messages bold, so that it knows that I'm talking to you. haha
[11:14] <sarthor> Hi, is there any application or free software to recieve/Dial/Record my Landline call on my 56K modem using ubuntu jaunty, Help,
[11:15] <mquin> pshr_: are there actually any password hashes in the file?
[11:15] <sarthor> Hi indus hope you are fine my friend.
[11:15] <marekw2143> hi, how can I allocate to one process specified amount of ram?
[11:15] <pshr_> does /etc/shadow contain hashes
[11:16] <pshr_> it does right
[11:16] <pshr_> do i need to unshadow or some thing like that before i proceed ?
[11:16] <ZoeyMarie> and the client file is not there... :(
[11:17] <mquin> pshr_: I don't think so - all shadow means is that the password hashes are stored in /etc/shadow rahter than /etc/passwd
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> !dialup | sarthor
[11:17] <ZoeyMarie> indus: the client file isn't there.
[11:17]  * Poker[4w4y] iS Aw4y , Catch me, if u Can: Gone away for now
[11:17] <mquin> pshr_: 'No password hashes loaded' means john didn't find any, which either meas there aren't any in the file or there is somethin wrong with it
[11:17] <DJones> !away | Poker[4w4y]
[11:18] <ZoeyMarie> !who
[11:18] <pshr_> mquin, the PM is the hash value for my user name and passwd
[11:18] <pshr_> you got that ?
[11:18] <sarthor> ActionParsnip, no, i dont need dialup, i have DSL for internet, but i dont have Landline Telephone set
[11:18] <pshr_> it definitely is the hash
[11:19] <ZoeyMarie> did indus leave?
[11:19] <z-tau> can someone tell me why my /proc/kcore is 256 terabytes?  I sure don't have that much memory
[11:20] <ikonia> matt2154: that sounds a very unusual problem and interesting issue
[11:21] <matt2154> ikonia: I don't even want to think about how much time I've sunk into this issue.  Now I'm pegging my hopes on NFS4 being the problem...
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: its probaly measured in bits so giving you 256Mb
[11:21] <z-tau> the size of the file according to ls -l is<PHONE_NUMBER>21696 bytes
[11:21] <ikonia> matt2154: if you have time I'd be interested in dropping you a pm to discuss this as it certainly sounds interesting
[11:22] <ZoeyMarie> can anyone help me with these directions that I'm getting from the forums? I need to edit a hidden file, but I can't find it.
[11:22] <mquin> pshr_: yeah, my copy of jtr doesn't like that either. I'm not sure what the encyrption type is - MD5 hashes start with $1$, your has $6$, which implies it's something else
[11:22] <matt2154> ikonia: Sure PM me and I'll give you my email
[11:22] <ikonia> matt2154: that would be cool, I'd like to know how you arrived at this situation
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: http://pastebin.com/d33bf5412
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: i have 2gb ram there

[11:23] <danver> hello

[11:24] <danver> can anyone help me with apache ?
[11:24] <z-tau> ActionParsnip: i thought /proc/kcore is supposed to reflect the amount of memory installed?

[11:24] <cheater99> hi guys :)
[11:24] <pshr_> hmm mquin
[11:25] <neil_d> I have something odd going on with mdadm etc.  I caused a resync to start yesterday. then /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action = recover :) now after turning the computer back on the resync restarted :) but the file sync_action = idle :(   what is going on here?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: not sure. try sudo lshw | less
[11:25] <cheater99> how can i reconfigure my keyboard? i have a laptop with two 'fn' keys. the one on the left annoys me because i keep on mistaking it for ctrl... is there any way to make it work like left ctrl?
[11:25] <erUSUL> cheater99: System>Preferences>Keyboard
[11:26] <zaas> i have an private SSH key in /root/.ssh and want to connect using windows now, where do i store the public key using putty for example...? (Ubuntu server 9.04)
[11:26] <mquin> pshr_: apparently $6$ is sha-512, which JTR doesn't support. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1148135.html suggests another tool called hash-cracker
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: sudo lshw -C memory
[11:26] <cheater99> erUSUL, but i don't know how to go on from there. i don't see anything that would let me remap the fn key

[11:27] <ZoeyMarie> can anyone help me get my mic to work? I need to disable something in pulseaudio

[11:27] <erUSUL> cheater99: Second tab distributions click on the button distribution options
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: no, just telling you how you can get the system to tell you
[11:28] <erUSUL> cheater99: if that is not enough...
[11:28] <cheater99> i'm in 'keyboard preferences', the second tab is 'layouts'
[11:28] <erUSUL> !keys | cheater99
[11:28] <cheater99> is that what you've meant erUSUL ?
[11:28] <erUSUL> cheater99: yes; mine is in spanish XD
[11:28] <erUSUL> cheater99: maybe the keytouch package can help
[11:29] <cheater99> erUSUL, i'm not trying to change my keyboard layout. the layout is fine. i just want to remap one key. it's not a keyboard shortcut either.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: i sugest you install patebinit, its small and very useful
[11:29] <z-tau> ActionParsnip: All i'm actually trying to do is dump all my system memory to a file.. I tried dd if=/dev/core of=/media/blah/core.img (/dev/core is a symlink to /proc/kcore) but it just kept on saving past when i expected it to stop
[11:29] <erUSUL> cheater99: yes but in layout options you can change individual keys like bloqmayus windows key etc
[11:29] <z-tau> ActionParsnip: the 256 TB size of kcore explains that lol, i just want to be sure i saved all memory to the image file
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: i think its /dev/mem  not sure
[11:30] <ZoeyMarie> wow... it's like no one even sees my typing... maybe I'm a ghost
[11:30] <cheater99> ersul: yes, but it only has options for some of the keys, and doesn't for the 'fn' key
[11:30] <z-tau> ActionParsnip: i can't access /dev/mem, doesn't work
[11:31] <z-tau> i see your typing zoeymarie :p
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> z-tau: may help: http://linux.die.net/man/4/mem
[11:31] <ZoeyMarie> yay!

[12:12] <Muelli> deepz: Well, what do you actually want to do? NotworkManager should do most of the things...
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> revenge: if you type: virt  in a terminal then press tab, does it appear?
[12:12]  * Sicilia2 Every BoDy sTand uP , Im bAck
[12:12] <Muelli> revenge: fire up a terminal (alt+f2 and gnome-terminal) and do a apt-cache policy virtualbox
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> revenge: also check under system tools
[12:13] <revenge> command not found
[12:13] <indus> aiai: alcor?

[12:14] <indus> aiai: can you enter the pen drive?
[12:14] <luist> hey... i applied an icon theme and some of the icons didnt change in avant-window-navigator (even after i restarted) just in the menu and such... how can i make it work in AWN too?
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> revenge: add the repo to your sources file and import the key, you can then install vbox 3.0 from tere
[12:15] <revenge> i did that
[12:15] <revenge> but it seems i have something already installed that is conflicting
[12:15] <aiai> indus: if i make open,the system give me "unable to mount location"
[12:15] <indus> aiai: hmm
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> revenge: ok try: sudo apt-get --purge remove virtualbox-ose; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

[12:16] <deepz> ActionParsnip: it shows stopping ntp server... and doesnot comes out of it
[12:17] <indus> Sicilia2: sorry to see you still have the problem, did you try pasting in the forums?
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> deepz: is your ntp server dfined by name or an ip address?
[12:17] <deepz> by name
[12:17] <revenge> ActionParsnip: ok now i guess i can just install it
[12:17] <deepz> ActionParsnip: by name
[12:17] <Sicilia2> indus: never mind :) ,, no i did`t try
[12:17] <aiai> indus: what do you meaning for output of the mount? if i make "open"  i have "no media in the drive"
[12:17] <jatt> work printer with ubuntu?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> deepz: and do you have DNS servers defined in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[12:18] <jatt> is there a way to detect a network printer with ubuntu?

[12:18] <revenge> ActionParsnip: it says virtualbox-3.0 is already the newest version.
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> revenge: ok then: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install virtualbox-3.0
[12:18] <deepz> yes it is defined in /etc/resolv.conf
[12:19] <deepz> ActionParsnip:yes it is defined in /etc/resolv.conf
[12:20] <revenge> ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help! its installing now
[12:20] <aiai> indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/273400/
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> deepz: weird, if the ntp server cannot be hit then that could be affecting it. If you have good dns' in that file it should be fine. Try disabling ntp just to test
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> revenge: np man
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> revenge: that sort of stuff is the big weakness in package systems
[12:23] <revenge> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/273405/
[12:23] <revenge> ActionParsnip: its still not showing up in applications/accessories
[12:24] <revenge> ActionParsnip: oh NM its in system tools!
[12:24] <aiai> indus: i'm searching some alcor tools...
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> revenge: thats fine
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> revenge: now type virtu and press tab
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> revenge: it willcomplete the command for you and you can run the app

Need somewhere to start, Any ideas anyone?
[12:26] <revenge> ActionParsnip: Nice and it even saved my OS on it
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> revenge: that is in ~/.virtualbox
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> revenge: and is external to any installing / removing of apps
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> andreas__: maybe the new WM needs configuring seperately

[12:32] <Dr_Willis> punk_rocker_gul:  i recall ther ebeing some typing 'test' type tools in the repositories. check the package manager would be where i would start.

[12:34] <ActionParsnip> no word of thanks either
[12:35] <andreas__> ActionParsnip : Actually, this might just be a driver issue, looking into it now
[12:36] <MrNessuno> we!
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> andreas__: make sure you ave the 185 driver installed
[12:36] <edwin1> hi guys...i need drivers for my wireless NIC
[12:37] <edwin1> im new to ubuntu but i previously used 8.04   9.04 doesnt work well with my wireless NIC
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> edwin1: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep product
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> edwin1: you couldve made your life easier and consulter the web for devcies that work out of the box
[12:39] <edwin1> the command returns nothing
[12:40] <andreas__> ActionParsnip : My repositories list 180 as higest ver..
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> andreas__: what is the output of: lsb_release -c
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> edwin1: sudo lshw -C network
[12:43] <Vegar> is exim4 required on a desktop computer or can it safely be removed?
[12:43] <karimas> anyone know how i can give remote assistance bypassing router or firewall?? (ex. teamviewer...)
[12:43] <levene> I have just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. On reboot, the bubble about restricted drivers came up, and I chose to activate NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver version 173, as recommended. However, when I click activate, a dialog box about downloading progress flashes up briefly showing 0%, then a dialog box with an "no entry" icon and no text appears. How can I see what's going wrong?
[12:43] <andreas__> jaunty
[12:43] <andreas__> ActionParsnip : jaunty
[12:44] <levene> I have to access the internet through a proxy, so this could be the problem. But I don't know how to fix it.
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> levene: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> andreas__: strange, there is an alpha driver 190 which may help
[12:44] <jharkins> uit
[12:45] <metacube> Xspringies rulez
[12:45] <andreas__> ActionParsnip : Actually I belive it's a driver prob. Pretty sure I can take care of it. Thnx for the advice Action
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> np bro
[12:45] <levene> ActionParsnip: ok, am apt-get upgrading
[12:46] <levene> ActionParsnip: oddly, it doesn't work from the gui i get when I click the red important updates arrow - it's as if the system has forgotten my proxy settings
[12:46] <levene> ActionParsnip: except for the command line, that is
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> levene: its doing the same thing for you :)
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> levene: maybe you have a faulty jockey-gtk
[12:47] <levene> ActionParsnip: i know. but it's annoying when things don't just work :(
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> levene: welcome to linux, sometimes its glorious, sometimes its pain
[12:47] <levene> ActionParsnip: hm, there are lots of nvidia-glx-[0-9]* - any reason not to choose -180 instead of -173?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> levene: if jockey recommends it i'd go with it, older cards need lower numbers, spanking new cards need the newer drivers
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> levene: some wont even like the ones on the repos and need the drivers from www.nvidia.com
[12:50] <levene> ActionParsnip: ok. i am now convinced that gnome apps (except for firefox, where's it's set manually) aren't respecting the proxy settings
[12:50] <levene> ActionParsnip: but they do look good from system->prefs->network proxy
[12:50] <levene> and they worked before the upgrade :(
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> levene: you can set the proxy system wide with: export http_proxy="http://proxy.server.com:port
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> "
[12:51] <NerveClasp> Hi! Sorry to interrupt, but I have a question I hope you can help to solve: I have internet connection through eth0 and I share traffic with my roommate by wlan0 wireless connection. the q is: how to manage internet traffic, which I give to my roommate? I managed to lessen it only for 1 Mb/s
[12:51] <levene> ActionParsnip: well i have something similar in .bashrc
[12:51] <indus> levene: did the upgrade go well?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> levene: obviously change the address ut you get the idea
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> levene: good enough
[12:52] <levene> indus: well, it went :) a few teething problems
[12:52] <levene> ActionParsnip: doesn't help with the gui apt-get thing or jockey
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> NerveClasp:  what else do you want to do to it?  You could always enforce some proxy  I guess..
[12:52] <DJones> levene: I saw somebody with a similar problem the other day, they had to change their global proxy settings via System, Preferences, Network Proxy
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> levene: hmm, id assume it would use that but i could be wrong
[12:52] <mitch_P> hallo @ll !! kennt sich jemand von euch mit Rhythmbox aus ?

[13:11] <Dr_Willis> Vtec:  koala has everything updated.. and some chagnes in many key areas.
[13:11] <Pici> Vtec: Karmic is not yet released and is still Alpha software at this time.

[13:12] <Dr_Willis> Vtec:  untill it breaks..  like it did yesterday for a large # of people
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> Vtec: its the next release, not necessarily better
[13:12] <Vtec> oh lord lol

[13:20] <adalal> !paste
[13:20] <indus> yes please

[13:21] <sulakshana> nothing happens with fdisk -l ... just goes to the next line
[13:21] <indus> sulakshana: sudo fdisk -l
[13:21] <adalal> sulakshana: sudo fdisk -l
[13:22] <BWARG> i need help setting up my computer as a simple server

[13:24] <len> hi is possible to create a default mask to a share and another mask in a sub dir when file is created using samba?
[13:24] <Pici> perlsyntax : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[13:24] <adalal> sulakshana: there?
[13:24] <adalal> indus: yes
[13:24] <BWARG> the update from alpha 5 to 6 wasnt much

[13:25] <sulakshana> adalal: http://pastebin.com/m24f6b938
[13:25] <Ahtenus> If i want to run a ruby script I've installed through gem should I run it in the regular terminal or is there some special ruby terminal i should use?
[13:25] <Ahtenus> Because if i use the regular terminal it just says command not found..
[13:25] <BWARG> ive installed cherokee and mounted a seperate partition as /server
[13:25] <BWARG> do i do a change mode on the mounted partition?
[13:26] <adalal> sulakshana: looks fine to me, seems like your grub menu is messed up
[13:26] <kliklik> What is the file that I can edit and enter the various remote systems I connect to so I dont have to type long username/hosts in the console?
[13:26] <sulakshana> adalal: did you get it?
[13:26] <adalal> kliklik: the best way is to use opendns :)
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> BWARG: /etc/fstab probably
[13:27] <sulakshana> adalal: i need to remove ubuntu from the 11 gb partition and put it on the 200 gb partition
[13:27] <adalal> sulakshana: yeah i got it, but the fdisk looks fine
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> kliklik: or add them in /etc/hosts
[13:27] <adalal> sulakshana: okay, right now you have 5 partitions...
[13:27] <adalal> sulakshana: what partitions do you want? and how big do you want each of them to be?
[13:28] <sulakshana> adalal: firstly i wanna be able to run windows .. atleast have the option to in grub ... im gonna get my ass kicked big time if i dont get that to work dude
[13:28] <kliklik> adalal, ActionParsnip, I don't mean dns, I already have that one figured, I remember that you can use a simple INI like file in the home directory where you can specify alias, hostname, user, pass for various ftp/ssh sites, as a shortcut.
[13:29] <indus> adalal: i guess she can reinstall manually with live cd, its best way to reinstall grub too
[13:29] <indus> sulakshana: do one thing boot up a live cd
[13:29] <Pici> kliklik: I think you can do this from ~/ssh/.config  see man ssh_config for the syntax
[13:29] <indus> adalal: first just reinstall grub i suggest so windows appears in menu
[13:29] <BWARG> *googling furiously*
[13:29] <sulakshana> indus: and..
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> kliklik: you can use /root/.credentials if the thing is a mount action
[13:30] <adalal> indus, sulakshana, you can just try reinstalling grup
[13:30] <adalal> grub*
[13:30] <sulakshana> ok brb
[13:30] <indus> sulakshana: i want the output of cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[13:30] <indus> aah impatient ones :)
[13:30] <adalal> ah
[13:30] <adalal> yes
[13:30] <remoteCTRL1> hi guys!
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> kliklik: you can run: gksudo gedit /root/<some filename>

[13:31] <ActionParsnip> kliklik: and add: username=your_smb_username
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> kliklik: password=your_smb_password
[13:31] <remoteCTRL1> something is "bothering" my hdd in an every second intervall, can somebody help me find out what that could be?
[13:31] <BWARG> what security measures do i take to secure my root partition against intrusion once i set up the /server mount as a the the one publicly available?
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> kliklik: you can then use that in the connection as credentials
[13:31] <adalal> remoteCTRL1: what do you mean by bothering yo?
[13:31] <adalal> you*
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> kliklik: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=280473

[13:32] <psinetic> :( someone help pls :(
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> !ask | psinetic
[13:32] <adalal> remoteCTRL1: depending on how loud it is, it's probably just reading it, or it seems like a hardware problem
[13:32] <kliklik> ActionParsnip, sorry, no :) I'm trying to find it in the backups, I'm sure I've used it before.. it looks like: [alias]\nhost: example.com\nuser:bla  ...
[13:32] <indus> remoteCTRL1: install smartmontools from synaptic and run it
[13:32] <remoteCTRL1> adalal: neither nor i originally suspected updatedb, beagle or nfs of doing this but it doesnt
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> kliklik: oh well, sorry
[13:33] <kliklik> no problem
[13:33] <BWARG> brb google is my buddy

[13:33] <adalal> psinetic: yes...
[13:33] <adalal> !ask | psinetic
[13:33] <psinetic> i just got ubuntu (have no idea how to use it). it didn't support my drivers (Nvidia) and one of my friends who isn't on right now told me to get the package from the site, i don't know what type of card i have is, so i just grabbed one (STUPID!!!!), and i went through an hour just to figure out how to install it, back and forth, omg it was annoying, and finally got it....but it's the wrong driver and i'm lost and frustrated :(
[13:34] <len> hi is possible to create a default mask to a share and another mask in a sub dir when file is created using samba?
[13:34] <indus> remoteCTRL1: once you install it, run it from terminal smartctl -i /dev/whatever
[13:34] <mgv1> hi, how can i copy an dvd?
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> psinetic:  gee.. for my nvidia cards on ubuntu. I just run that hardware-manager tool.. and click click.. done..
[13:34] <adalal> psinetic: if it's just an nvidia card, it should be under system > administration > hardware drivers
[13:34] <mgv1> can anyone tell me how do i backup the thunderbird addresses history and whether evulution is better than thundirbird? question number two: often my computer don't find the right wireless connection - why is that?
[13:34] <psinetic> but how do i get it to go back to normal?
[13:34] <BWARG> evolution is better than anything out there
[13:34] <psinetic> the screen is all screwed up
[13:35] <BWARG> its everything in one
[13:35] <ovin08> ok, so i checked the md5 against the iso i downloaded and everything is fine, yet when i do the Check CD option on the install, it says there is a problem with "1 files"
[13:35] <remoteCTRL1> indus, hmm gotta read the manpages for that to see what it actually does, gimme a few...
[13:35] <adalal> psinetic: what exactly have you install so far?
[13:35] <adalal> psinetic: you can also try xfix
[13:35] <psinetic> on the OS?
[13:35] <BWARG> and its integrated into the OS
[13:35] <adalal> psinetic: yes
[13:35] <CmdPrmtMd> mgv1 those two are just differnt amimals to me. I like thunderbird
[13:35] <psinetic> just random apps, nothing serious
[13:35] <indus> remoteCTRL1: itsg  a HDD monitorin tool
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: bad burn, new cd and burn as SLOWLY as you can
[13:35] <adalal> psinetic: and no other drivers as such?
[13:36] <ovin08> i have burned it 2 times at 4x :D
[13:36] <psinetic> just this one
[13:36] <psinetic> the nvidia driver
[13:36] <CmdPrmtMd> evolution is great if you need it all
[13:36] <adalal> psinetic: where did you download it from?
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: wow, erm bad batch of CDs
[13:36] <psinetic> nvidia.com
[13:36] <indus> ovin08: try ignoring it and going ahead with the install :)
[13:36] <ovin08> memorex....
[13:36] <adalal> psinetic: was it a deb file?
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: try gksudo jockey-gtk
[13:36] <psinetic> .run file
[13:36] <indus> ovin08: or bad cd's sure
[13:36] <ovin08> i get an error that lets me do retry, that gets past 2 errors, but then i get an I/O error and it just boots from the cd...
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> adalal: its a packed precompiled program or library
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> adalal: its what things are packaged into in debian based systems
[13:37] <adalal> ActionParsnip: what are you trying to say?
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> adalal: debs have dependancies which need to install to, apt-et manages this for you
[13:38] <psinetic> aghhhh!!! i can't even see the "ok" button cuz the screen res is so small
[13:38] <indus> any ops here?
[13:38] <ikonia> indus: why ?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> adalal: you asked what a deb was, ive now told you
[13:38] <adalal> psinetic: well, you can just try sudo apt-get remove <package name>
[13:38] <denny> indus: #ubuntu-ops is where they lurk.  Why do you need one?
[13:38] <indus> nothing, just checking
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: you can hold alt and grab a window from anywhere
[13:38] <adalal> ActionParsnip: I didn't ask what a deb file was, lol, i asked if what the dude downloaded was a deb file
[13:38] <mgv1> anyone know of an easy way to clone an dvd?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> adalal: "adalal: psinetic: was it a deb file?"   you really did
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> oops
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> my bad
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> i suck today
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> need coffee
[13:39] <FloodBot2> ActionParsnip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:39] <psinetic> oh awesome!!! no, it was NOT a .deb file, it was a .run file
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> adalal:  sorry dude
[13:39] <adalal> ActionParsnip: I didn't ask what is a deb file, i asked if what he/she downloaded was a deb file lol..
[13:40] <ovin08> anyone get an I/O error during install?
[13:40] <bazhang> mgv1, k9copy
[13:40] <adalal> psinetic: i believe you can still remove it with apt-get
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: do you have a different brand of CD?
[13:40] <ovin08> i used an HP one at first, same issue
[13:40] <psinetic> there are two drivers available, one is alreadyin use, so i'm going to see if switching at least resets it then remove hte other one
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: or if you have a usb stick, you can install from that (much faster)
[13:40] <adalal> psinetic: sounds good :)
[13:41] <ovin08> yeah, i would prefer that, but the comp isnt too new so i dont think i can book from usb
[13:41] <remoteCTRL1> indus: hmmm... says the disk doesnt support smart
[13:41] <ovin08> or even network
[13:41] <remoteCTRL1> indus: i have to add that it is an scsi disk...
[13:41] <psinetic> what's the command to restart the comp?
[13:41] <adalal> psinetic: sudo reboot
[13:41] <psinetic> hehe, o
[13:41] <psinetic> ok**
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: or: sudo shutdown -r now
[13:41] <indus> remoteCTRL1: hmm wierd, i thought all disks today support smart
[13:41] <adalal> .
[13:42] <indus> remoteCTRL1: what disk is it
[13:42] <psinetic> i should like write these down or something
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: check the bios, it may support it
[13:42] <adalal> psinetic: no... you learn as you go
[13:42] <remoteCTRL1> indus: you mean what brand and model?
[13:42] <psinetic> oh ok
[13:42] <indus> ya
[13:42] <adalal> psinetic: and if anything, you have the internet at your hand..
[13:42] <adalal> :P
[13:42] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to install pear on ubuntu?
[13:42] <psinetic> true
[13:43] <psinetic> well that's odd....
[13:43] <adalal> ?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> !info pear
[13:43] <bazhang> Kingsy101, as in pearpc?
[13:43] <len> How can I enforce a file created by a user to be created in group X
[13:43] <psinetic> the login sceen is perfect res
[13:43] <len> How can I enforce a file created by a user to be created in group X?
[13:43] <psinetic> but the desktop is like small
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy101: pear?
[13:43] <psinetic> like it was before, so it's reset
[13:43] <adalal> psinetic: well, have you restarted x?
[13:43] <ovin08> ActionParsnip: thanks, ill check that out later tonight, but do youhave any other suggestions just in case it doesnt :/
[13:43] <psinetic> i rebooted the comp
[13:43] <indus> how do i make ubottu pm me with !info <package>
[13:43] <adalal> psinetic: if it's perfect, it's good
[13:43] <adalal> :P
[13:43] <Kingsy101> yea so I can run commands like ./pear mage-setup .
[13:43] <ikonia> indus: I don't think you can
[13:43] <Myrtti> indus: you don't
[13:43] <bazhang> indus /msg ubottu info package
[13:43] <adalal> psinetic: probably using open source drives nless you enabled the closed source nvidia one
[13:43] <psinetic> wel that was the login screen, now it's back to just being small again
[13:44] <Myrtti> indus: "aptitude show package"
[13:44] <indus> hmm
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: burn the image on a different cd drive or systemmaybe
[13:44] <ovin08> ok, thanks
[13:44] <indus> Myrtti: no no i meant ubottu the bot
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> psinetic:  the users can run nvidia-settings and set their own res.
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy101: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PhpPear
[13:44] <indus> ok i got it now thanks all 3
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy101: that?
[13:44] <Kingsy101> I think so yea
[13:45] <indus> ikonia: bazhang command works
[13:45] <Myrtti> indus: no I meant that you don't. Please don't strain the bot with something you can either find out on your pc with aptitude, or using packages.ubuntu.com searhc
[13:45] <ovin08> also, would the Desktop ubuntu be just as good as the Server version if i wanted to set up a weblogic server to make some JEE apps?
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy101: cool, dont use ./pear if you install it or it will look for pear in the pwd, which it isnt its in $PATH somewhere
[13:45] <psinetic> ooooooooomg ok. this is nice, it works now :)
[13:45] <indus> Myrtti: ? strain a bot?
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: sure
[13:45] <adalal> :)
[13:45] <indus> omg
[13:45] <ovin08> great, thanks again
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: you'll just be using resources to run the desktop
[13:46] <ovin08> does the Server version have a GUI, im not the best at command line yet, but im trying
[13:46] <bazhang> ovin08, no but you can install one
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> ovin08: no the server has no gui, if you want a gui, intall desktop
[13:46] <ovin08> thanks for the info
[13:47] <psinetic> ok, now i need a few more things that i just can't find on google, or i'm haveing trouble with. first: msn, i need a good alternate for msn, i got amsn, but it won't login (even thought he pass and user is correct). Next I need to setup virtualbox and get windows xp in that so i can run my gaphics software, then i want to setup a firewall.
[13:47] <DJones> !pidgin | psinetic
[13:47] <psinetic> pidgin doesn't support webcam
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> !vbox | psinetic
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> psinetic:  and why do you need a firewall? :)
 thanks there is one extention in thunderbird which is nice, every time the user agent is different
[13:48] <psinetic> because i hack and am a computer technician with the government :D
[13:48] <indus> i have to go now
[13:48] <indus> join laters
[13:48] <psinetic> later indus
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> !firewall | psinetic
 where do i find k9copy?
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> !info k9copy
[13:49] <bazhang> mgv1, sudo apt-get install k9copy (from the repos)
[13:49] <DJones> psinetic: I'm not sure whether there's anything else in jaunty that does support a webcam for msn
 ok i've found it in the add and remove under all programs
[13:50] <psinetic> jaunty?
 what sudo and apt means?
[13:50] <bazhang> psinetic, 9.04
[13:50] <psinetic> oh oik
[13:50] <psinetic> ok**
[13:50] <bazhang> mgv1, that is for the command line install (from terminal)
[13:50] <rodders> anyone have experience with geany?  I need to setup an IDE for c++ in ubuntu and am not familiar with linux setups for g++
[13:50] <psinetic> mgv1, su=superuser do=do
[13:50] <tuxick> lo
[13:51] <nikos> Ubuntu is my mail OS now. who needs anything else :D
[13:51] <psinetic> :P
 like suduku - and what is apt?
[13:51] <foxray> oh man karmic koala on my netbook flys, fixes all the bugs that were in 9.04 like the avi video stuttering, and wireless now connects in 2 seconds
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> rodders:  geany is a nice little editor.     Not sure if it counts as a full IDE or not.. I never use it for that.
[13:51] <rodders> Dr_Willis; rec me another IDE, anjuta opens like an editor too
[13:52] <psinetic> i dunno
[13:52] <psinetic> lol
[13:52] <psinetic> application transfer?
[13:52] <psinetic> lol
[13:52] <foxray> still some issues with udevd though, and cups
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> rodders:  i dont use any of them so i cant.
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> rodders:  geany is a much lighter program then other 'ide's' i imagine its not got as many fancy features.
[13:52] <nikos> what would you say is the best prog.. to rip CDs. I use sound juicer, and works fine.
[13:53] <rodders> Dr_willis: need only the full Build commands (e.g. make), can compile simple programs
[13:53] <psinetic> >_> again with the sound being extremely low. i fixed this before but apparently it didn't stick.
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> nikos:  most all of them are front ends to the same few command line tools.. so its just a matter of taste.

[13:54] <Kingsy101> for ./pear
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> Kingsy101:  ./pear would look in the current directory for pear.. try just 'pear'
[13:54]  * andr386 Hello, How would you monitor files to know who changed it (who or what) and when ? I started playing with lsof and inotify but it doesn't give me enough informations, what do you use ?
[13:54] <diz_Child> test
[13:54] <Kingsy101> ah right I see.. thanks
[13:55] <diz_Child> is there any dns proxy?

[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Kingsy101:  if you installed a system wide packaage that put a 'pear' command in the $PATH then  you proberly mean to run that one.. Not one on  whatever current direcory you are in.

[13:57] <BernieAndErt> so I had 'x.html' under revision, then I deleted it with `rm` ... then I created a new 'x.html'.. which I then did `svn add x.html` on ... which i then did `svn ci` on ... which now it's giving me an error "svn: File already exists: filesystem "
[13:58] <BernieAndErt> anyone know how to take care of this?
[13:58] <MellowDude> i will try reinstalling flashplayer
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. that was such a typical MS Windows answer/idea by MEllowDude. :)
[13:58] <rdm> sorry
[13:58] <jrib> BernieAndErt: if you wanted to make svn forget about x.html, you probably want to use svn rm or similar
[13:59] <rdm> i' m looking for this server
[13:59] <rdm>  irc.tuttiliberi.net
[13:59] <rdm> but it said is
[13:59] <jrib> BernieAndErt: if you want svn to just treat the new file as a new version of the old one, then don't "add"
[13:59] <rdm> write wronge
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> rdm so yse /server SERVERname        perhaps?
[13:59] <Blizzerand_> In linux reinstalling softwares doesn't solve the problem but recreating/rewritting the configuration files may help
[13:59] <rdm> i don' t know
[14:00] <rdm> i find it in google
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> rdm most all irc clients support     /server enter.whatever.servername.net      to connect to a specific server
[14:00] <rdm> ok
[14:00] <rdm> now i try
[14:01] <Promille> Hey. Has anyone here tried Logitech G35 Headset with ubntu
[14:01] <Promille> ubuntu*
[14:01] <rdm> i use xchat
[14:02] <BernieAndErt> jrib: yea but I already did tht
[14:02] <rdm> and all server has only the name
[14:02] <BernieAndErt> now I'm not sure how to commit these
[14:02] <jrib> BernieAndErt: erm, already did *what*?
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> rdm:  xchat supports that.. and has  server stuff in the menus you can select/set  and some very well done Help Docs.
[14:02] <BernieAndErt> I already did 'svn add' to the new files
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> rdm:  so open a new server tab.. and use that /server whatever command
[14:02] <rdm> ok
[14:02] <jrib> BernieAndErt: so revert
[14:02] <BernieAndErt> tried
[14:02] <BernieAndErt> didn't work either
[14:02] <BernieAndErt> `svn revert file` correct ?
[14:02] <IdleOne> How do I force the removal of a package?
[14:02] <jrib> BernieAndErt: yeah
[14:02] <BernieAndErt> yea it didn't work
[14:03] <jrib> BernieAndErt: then try to rm it
[14:03] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229181 Promille
[14:03] <BernieAndErt> remove my current file?
[14:03] <jrib> BernieAndErt: use svn rm...
[14:03] <BernieAndErt> I tried that too
[14:03] <jrib> BernieAndErt: try the svn channel then
[14:03] <erUSUL> IdleOne: dpkg -r --force-all ? but keep in mind that it could be dangerous
[14:03] <BernieAndErt> tried that too
[14:03] <BernieAndErt> Google like crazy
[14:03] <BernieAndErt> hence I ended up here
[14:03] <jrib> BernieAndErt: svn has an irc channel
[14:04] <BernieAndErt> yea I know they don't speak
[14:04] <bazhang> !enter
[14:04] <jrib> BernieAndErt: be patient, it's not as active as here
[14:05] <jrib> BernieAndErt: another option is to just do a new checkout and start over
[14:05] <juro> hi, I have installed Firefox 3.5.x (Shiretoko), can I just uninstall Firefox now?
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> juro:  i would just leave it alone.
[14:05] <IdleOne> erUSUL: it is a third party .deb I downloaded for my scanner. I deleted the .deb from desktop when running sudo apt-get remove package I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/273473/
[14:06] <erUSUL> IdleOne: try the --force-all option then
[14:06] <juro> Dr_Willis, I have made Shireteko the standard browser but some programs don't "understand" that. Also, the updated wants to keep on updating Firefox 3.0.x
[14:07] <IdleOne> erUSUL: sudo dpkg -r --force-all package??
[14:07] <erUSUL> IdleOne: yes
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> juro:  ive neer noticed anything wanting to update FF3.0.x - i just leave them both on.. and launch 3.5 from the desktop icon when i want it.
[14:07] <IdleOne> erUSUL: same error
[14:08] <juro> Dr_Willis, ok, thank you.
[14:08] <jatt> is there a way to recognize a network printer with ubuntu?
[14:08] <ThJ> I need assistance with the most annoying and confusing thing ever: Got a MacBook Air with Jaunty on it, and a BCM4328 WLAN interface, and it keeps dropping out when I'm at work, and only at work, and my machine's the only one doing it. No disconnect, just intervals of 100% traffic blockage. Help?
[14:08] <erUSUL> IdleOne: :|
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> jatt:  i just use the printer config tools.. and  it sees my network printers
[14:09] <IdleOne> erUSUL: maybe if I download and install it again then remove?
[14:09] <erUSUL> IdleOne: could work... or just create the dfloders it complain about
[14:09] <andr386> Is there a way to monitor what happens to a specific file ? (time, user, process name, event (read,write, ....))
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> !info fam
[14:10] <ThJ> Oh, and the syslog is flooded with messages like: Sep 18 15:09:28 thor-macbook NetworkManager: <debug> [1253279368.004190] periodic_update(): Roamed from BSSID 00:13:49:98:63:EB (ennsenter) to (none) ((none))
[14:10] <ThJ> And then back to: Sep 18 15:09:28 thor-macbook NetworkManager: <debug> [1253279368.004190] periodic_update(): Roamed from BSSID 00:13:49:98:63:EB (ennsenter) to (none) ((none))
[14:11] <ThJ> But the GUI never indicates I'm disconnected, and TCP sockets resume normally after the intermittent break.
[14:11] <nic1> wt is the command to check what inbuilt mic my machine has?
[14:11] <psinetic> anyone know how to get amsn to work on ubuntu? Everytime I try to login it tells me i have the wrong user and pass, but i know it's the right one, i verified it on windows.
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> psinetic:  MSN may of changed protocalls and  older unoffical clients may not work  - (its happened in the past)
[14:12] <neekers> ok, i'm trying to install ubuntu in virtualbox and i hit start intallation <enter> and nothing happens, it just sits there....
[14:12] <psinetic> so how do i fix it?
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> psinetic:  find a newer updated version of whatever app ayou are trying.. is one way..  check the apps homepage/forums  for info  there may be some other work arounds
[14:13] <psinetic> it's hte most upto date, i cna't find anything on google for it
[14:13] <Rotund> psinetic, Have you tried Pidgin or Empathy?  They tend to keep up to date.  aMSN hasn't updated since Christmas.
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> I dont use it.. so no other ideas psinetic  I hate MSN/Yahoo./whatever..
[14:13] <psinetic> i need something that can use a cam
[14:14] <Rotund> actually, last august
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Newer Pidgin stuff i think has cam support
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> but that may need Pidgin from the PPA repos..
[14:14] <nh2> what is the proper way to disable NetworkManager?
[14:14] <psinetic> can anyone verify?
[14:14] <nh2> verify what?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> check the forums - theres always 1000+ threads on IM clients breaking/fixs/updates..  it seems
[14:15] <nic1> wt is the command to check what inbuilt mic my machine has?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> nic1:  you mean Microphone?
[14:15] <Rotund> nh2, install WICD or go into network-settings and set the device to not be... managed I think it's called
[14:16] <Kitr88> lol
[14:16] <Kitr88> lol
[14:16] <feilong> what do you say
[14:16] <Pici> Kitr88: Do you have a question?
[14:16] <bazhang> feilong, this is Ubuntu support
[14:17] <nh2> Rotund: I want all that NetworkManager process not to start since we set static IP addresses in /etc/network/interface
[14:18] <Rotund> Is there an automatic tool to remove an app from the /etc/rcX.d files?
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> !static
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Rotund:  several of them can manage Services  and those files
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> !info bum
[14:18] <Seveas> Rotund, update-rc.d -f [appname_here] remove
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> I never can rember that update-rc.d :)
[14:19] <Rotund> There ya go.
[14:19] <Rotund> bum is like services in windows
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> bum can do some other things also i recall..  but i rarely use it.
[14:19] <Seveas> in windows it is ass :P
[14:19] <Rotund> Seveas, thanks, I knew there was one, but I always did that under Gentoo
[14:19] <erUSUL> for the sake of completness there is rconf with curses interface ;P
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> and proberly a dozen other sysv tools :)
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> bum is awesome, you can get rid of that stupid remote logon thing
[14:20] <Seveas> erUSUL, you're missing a c there (rcconf, not rconf I though)
[14:20] <erUSUL> Seveas: ty
[14:20] <Rotund> ActionParsnip, remote logon thing?  SSH?
[14:20] <mgv1> my wireless is often not detecting the right network - what can i do?
[14:20] <Seveas> mgv1, pray to the gods of wireless internet
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Rotund: no its some gui rubbish based on vnc
[14:20] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, vino?
[14:21] <Rotund> vino
[14:21] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, system -> preferences -> remote desktop --- You can remove it there :)
[14:21] <len> How can I enforce a file created by a user to be created in group X?
 i will do something similar :)
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Seveas: i remove it from my packages
[14:21] <Seveas> len, make group X the primary group of that user.
[14:22] <Seveas> ActionParsnip, that works as well :)
 we can open a channal for computer praying
[14:22] <len> Seveas: how do I do that?
[14:22] <Seveas> len, man usermod
[14:22] <nic1> yes Microphone
[14:22] <erUSUL> len: you can set the sgid on the parent directory so all files created within are assignet to the group. or make the main group of the user the one you want
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> mgv1: you can join a non-existant channel and it will be spawned
[14:23] <len> Seveas: Ty, gonna check manual to see how to use it.
[14:23] <Seveas> len, usermod -g groupname username
[14:23] <nic1> wt is the command to check what inbuilt Microphone my machine has?
[14:23] <neekers> anubody have any ideas about my ubuntu not wanting to start the installation in virtualbox?
[14:23] <Seveas> nic1, firefox (go to the manufacturers website)
[14:23] <len> erUSUL: Ty you too... i think that sig will be more usefull for my needs
[14:24] <Seveas> nic1, or open up the machine :)
[14:24] <IdleOne> erUSUL: when trying to create those directories I get: mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/BHminiFB': No such file or directory
[14:24] <nic1> what? my machine is open
[14:24] <creator> hello
[14:24] <erUSUL> IdleOne: use "mkdir -p path "
[14:24] <feilong> have any one do the andriod ? I have some question
[14:24] <Seveas> feilong, try #android
[14:24] <len> erUSUL: just a question. sgid == sg on terminal?
[14:25] <nic1> wt is the command to check what inbuilt Microphone my machine has?
[14:25] <IdleOne> erUSUL: thank you
[14:25] <erUSUL> len: is (iirc) chmod g+s directory
[14:25] <Seveas> nic1, there is none. Audio channels don't transmit device information.
[14:26] <erUSUL> IdleOne: no problem
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> nic1: its just a mic, if your soundcard is configured right the mic should work
[14:26] <nic1> how can i make my Microphone up then?
 anyone can joint #computer_praying and ask for help
[14:26] <mgv1> :)
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> nic1: make sure its not muted and crank the volume of it
[14:26] <nic1> how can i check which sound card i have?
[14:26] <nic1> it's not muted
[14:26] <Twittery> Check this out - don't name it troll though ( its my temp. site dedicated to linux  -under construction)  http://linux.ucoz.com/

[14:28] <ActionParsnip> nic1: play some music, try sound recorder to record
[14:29] <nic1> music plays fine
[14:29] <Seveas> nic1, system -> preferences -> sound
[14:29] <nic1> but sound recording doesn't work
[14:29] <Seveas> check the 'input' tab
[14:29] <jorge_> estou com problemas no ubuntu alguem pode me ajudar
[14:29] <DJones> !br | jorge_
[14:30] <nic1> guys problem is with sound capture
[14:30] <nic1> how can i correct that?
[14:30] <cagonto> online boxing game http://www.kobox.org/kobox-fande-Nourine.html
[14:31] <jorge_> como eu uso o ubunto-br
[14:31] <IdleOne> jorge_: /join #ubuntu-br
[14:31] <bazhang> jorge_, /join #ubuntu-br
[14:31] <mgv1> why there is no sound when i play dvds?
[14:31] <Seveas> mgv1, because the MPAA has taken over your computer
[14:32] <psinetic> why is it that when i try to set my appearance settings visual effects to "extra" it errors out saying my desktop can't support it?
[14:32] <jorge_> como eu uso o ubuntu-br
[14:32] <IdleOne> jorge_: /join #ubuntu-br
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: have you installed and configured video drivers?
[14:32] <bazhang> jorge_, /join #ubuntu-br
[14:32] <nimrod_> hi
[14:32] <len> Seveas or erUSUL do you know if using samba is possible to change a create mask in a sub dir of a share?
[14:32] <psinetic> i have absolutely no idea how to even begin to do that
[14:32] <nimrod_> how do i uninstall grub?
[14:32] <Seveas> len, only on the entire share, not on a subdir of it afaik
 ok
[14:32] <erUSUL> len: no; sorry
[14:33] <jorge_> hi
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> nic1: all i can suggest is try all the sound options you can in mixer.
[14:33] <len> ok thx
[14:33] <Seveas> mgv1, check alasmixer in a terminal, check the volume settings of the app you're playing the dvd with and check system -> preferences -> sound
[14:33] <Seveas> pulseaudio made sound again more complicated on linux. Woop-de-doo...
[14:34] <amigrave> is it possible to use xmodmap in order to bind a two keys shortcut to a keycode ? Eg; I'd like to have WinKey + PageDown to have the same effect as XF86AudioNext
[14:34] <psinetic> so....any idea?
[14:34] <nimrod_> *edit* how do i uninstall grub bootloader from the terminal?
[14:34] <Seveas> amigrave, system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts
[14:35] <Seveas> nimrod_, you can't uninstall a bootloader. You can merely overwrite it with another one
[14:35] <blackxored> where I can find some guidance about textile/markdown, I've been using rst since a lot of time, but I need to switch for some reasons
[14:35] <nimrod_> Seveas, ok.
[14:35] <Twittery> Can anyone direct me to a page where the are about hundreds of Linux distributions
[14:36] <Seveas> Twittery, distrowatch
[14:36] <jrib> blackxored: the official project pages usually have documentation
[14:36] <jorge_> hi
[14:36] <ebag> Anyone else experience strange interrupt issues after apt-get dist-upgrade last night?  My coworkers screen, num-lock light, and hard disk light are all going in "strobe mode" after a reboot.
[14:36] <ebag> Ubuntu Karmic
[14:36] <blackxored> jrib, I couldn't find anything good about textile
[14:36] <Pici> ebag : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[14:36] <jrib> !karmic | ebag
[14:36] <ebag> thanks (;
[14:36] <e370> Does fsx work on ubuntu
[14:37] <jrib> blackxored: I have no experience with textile, just markdown and rst
[14:37] <blackxored> jrib, I think rst rocks, but textile/markdown are more transparent for a ruby env
[14:37] <nivirla> Does anyone know where the config files for software-properties-gtk are on the default install of ubuntu 9.04? I can't change any properties for automatic update (I've tried rebooting and running it both as regular user, with sudo privileges and with sudo su), but it stays the same with "check for updates: Daily" and all other options not checked, but with a round dot in it instead. Image of it can be seen here: http://bayimg.com/EADJKAAcP
[14:38] <jeansch> amigrave: yes, i think. Uses 'xmodmap -pk' to print the list, 'xev' to found the keycode, and 'xmodmap -e "keycode the-code-you-found = XFAudioWhatever"'
[14:38] <jrib> blackxored: the markdown site definitely has docs
[14:38] <Twittery> Seveas : Any others
[14:38] <Seveas> Twittery, google
[14:38] <blackxored> jrib, yes I have those, I was wondering if something similar exists for textile, since I think provides me more control over the output
[14:39] <IdleOne> Twittery: do you have any ubuntu specific questions?
[14:40] <nic1> how can i use pastebin.com
[14:40] <jrib> blackxored: try the references on its wikipedia page
[14:41] <IdleOne> nic1: it is pretty self explanatory. paste info, enter name, click send, copy url, post here with a question and wait for answer
[14:41] <ikonia> nic1: open it in a url, put text in it and give us the url it generates
[14:41] <Pici> blackxored: Or ask in #ruby / #rubylang
[14:42] <nic1> what is the make and model number of your laptop, desktop, or motherboard? how can i check these?
[14:43] <IdleOne> !info hardinfo | nic1
[14:43] <ikonia> nic1: normally on the box or the website you got it from, or your manual

[14:50] <ActionParsnip> jeyci: its Ubuntu, not Abantu
[14:50] <trunker> oh my
[14:51] <e370> at last some simple answers
[14:51] <trunker> such language
[14:51] <Kuwaity> ?
[14:51] <ice_cream> hi, i have about the firefox package -- i appear to have both firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5 installed, and they appear distinct... in a recent update, 3.0 was upgraded (and my /usr/bin/firefox link stopped pointing to -3.5) --> is it safe to just remove firefox-3.0 ?
[14:51] <levene> my weather applet won't update. how can i debug that?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> e370: the game is made by MS so will use their latest stuff, wine is a best attempt so will not run all games
[14:51] <erUSUL> !ff35 | ice_cream
[14:52] <e370> windows version is set to Xp
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> e370: some games run better in linux than in windows. Doom3 is a good example here
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> e370: try win7 or vista
[14:52] <lng> hi! why `date<PHONE_NUMBER>09` doesn't set the time?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> e370: have you checked the appdb for comatibility?
[14:52] <e370> i dont know what that is
[14:52] <ice_cream> erUSUL, what's your point?
[14:53] <e370> im a noobie lol
[14:53] <DJones> !appdb > e370
[14:53] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org  <---- e370
[14:53] <erUSUL> ice_cream: that in jaunty ff35 does not replace ff3 is a separate program that identifies itself as different to. so this (and my /usr/bin/firefox link stopped  pointing to -3.5)
[14:53] <stafe> server irc.freenode.net
[14:53] <Seveas> stafe, you're there :)
[14:54] <erUSUL> ice_cream: does not make sense. installing ff35 ddoes not change that simlink
[14:54] <bazhang> stafe, you're on it
[14:54] <len> erUSUL: is there anyway to create a default mask after a file creation? like 775 or 755. Just like sgid
[14:54] <Vtec> Does anyone know why my network manager shows such a low reception to my router? I see other routers in my neighborhood with more reception than mine lol..
[14:54] <levene> len: umask?
[14:54] <Pici> len: Did you prefix the command with sudo?
[14:54] <ice_cream> it's possible that i manually made firefox point to firefox-3.5 in the past
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> e370: so you sit and say linux sucks for  games when all you have tried is the default settings and havent consulted the appdb for compatibility, thats really rich
[14:54] <erUSUL> ice_cream: and if you did the link manually is normal that the upgrade broke it
[14:54] <e370> lol
[14:54] <len> Pici:  not always
[14:54] <e370> :D
[14:54] <ice_cream> erUSUL, ok, so they're distinct packages and it's ok to remove 3.0 then
[14:54] <tobi> hi @ll
[14:54] <Pici> len: sorry, too many people with nearly the same nick.
[14:54] <IdleOne> ice_cream: yes
[14:55] <e370> vtec: mine says disconnected for wired lan
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> e370: badmouting something with no facts is deplorable to the highest order
[14:55] <e370> so that sucks even more
[14:55] <Pici> lng: Did you prefix the command with sudo?
[14:55] <ice_cream> erUSUL, k, thx
[14:55] <erUSUL> ice_cream: yes. it will remove ubuntu-desktop too i guess
[14:55]  * ice_cream nods at IdleOne
[14:55] <ice_cream> lol
[14:55] <ice_cream> sec..
[14:55] <erUSUL> ice_cream: just remember to install ubuntu-desktop before doing the dist upgrade
[14:55] <IdleOne> ice_cream: if ubuntu-desktop gets removed re-install it to avoid problems upgrading later
[14:55] <ice_cream> i dont have that package (ubuntu-desktop)  installed =))
[14:55] <Vtec> lol but how does my own router have less reception than some dude in my neighborhood mine shows 21% and my neighbors shows 43%
[14:55] <erUSUL> ice_cream: if you do of course
[14:56] <Vtec> Does anyone know why my network manager shows such a low reception to my router? I see other routers in my neighborhood with more reception than mine lol..
[14:56] <e370> interfereance?
[14:56] <ice_cream> nah i do upgrades diff way (server way)
[14:56] <mgv1> do you have an ideas how to solve f-spot crash after any exporting?
[14:56] <Seveas> Vtec, crappy router, interference, channel collission ...
[14:56] <erUSUL> len: set umask ?
[14:56] <ice_cream> erUSUL,  through sudo do-relase-upgrade i think
[14:56] <ice_cream> release*
[14:56] <len> levene: idk, Im just new to linux trying to find out how to do things...
[14:56] <Vtec> Seveas any idea how I can raise the percentage?
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> e370: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=278
[14:56]  * ice_cream tips his hat
[14:56] <len> levene: umask do that What I asked?
[14:56] <Seveas> depends on the router. Choose a different channel, see if you can boost the signal...
[14:57] <erUSUL> ice_cream: it is the same you need the ubuntu meta-packages installed to avoid problems
[14:57] <Vtec> channel?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> e370: doesnt run
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> e370: you could see if it runs in cedega or crossover office ut they are not cost free
[14:57] <tobi> hey everybody... i need some help to get my fingerprintscanner working! I've got the travelmate 8371 with an LighTuning FPrint reader and i want to get the right drivers... Any Tips to get it working ??
[14:58] <e370> see crappy, going back to windows xp
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> e370: for one game, yes
[14:58] <Vtec> Seveas, my wireless channel is set to Auto (my options are Auto and 1-2)
[14:58] <Vtec> any suggestions?
[14:58] <e370> not paying £30 for a game that doesnt work
[14:58] <len> erUSUL: I said to set mask what I meant after a file is created by an user it have a default mask, like 775 755...
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> e370: look at doom3, and world of warcraft
[14:58] <mbeierl1> Anyone know what lastlog is and what process controls it?  I've got an 8gb / partition, yet /var/log/lastlog claims to be 572GB in size?!?
[14:58] <stone1343> can anyone tell me specifically how to install a package without its pre-reqs. I tried for hours last night
[14:58] <IdleOne> e370: complain to Microsoft for not supporting linux
[14:58] <Pici> e370: The best place for Wine support is #winehq, we cannot support it as well as they can.
[14:58] <erUSUL> len: yes that is controlled by the umask value
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> e370: try playing some old games in XP, it wont work ut will work inlinux nicely
[14:59] <chrisw2> Vtec: Agreed - channels overlap, so pick one that's not close to the channels used by other routers in the area. Also consider that wireless phones, microwave ovens, wireless doorbells etc tend to work on the same band (2.4GHz), and materials such as metals and granite affect signal strength as well.
[14:59] <nicle> does anybody know when the 9.10 will  be released?
[14:59] <IdleOne> !karmic | nicle
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> !karmic | nicle
[14:59] <Vtec> Ahhh I see
[14:59] <thiebaude> !9.10
[14:59] <chrisw2> Vtec: Many routers are set to channels 6 or 11 as default
[14:59] <erUSUL> nicle: 200 *9* october *10*
[14:59] <Vtec> Mine is set to 1
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> e370: crappy windows eh?
[15:00] <Vtec> So basically just mess with the channels til I find one with the best reception?
[15:00] <lng> Pici: i'm root
[15:00] <e370> yes windows
[15:00] <e370> i will install linux over windows
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> e370: your choice
[15:01] <Vtec> windows sucks lol i'm a windows user my whole life and i decided to try ubuntu and i will choose linux over windows anyday now
[15:01] <chrisw2> Vtec: See http://www.wifiyacht.net/wifi-adjacent-myth.html
[15:01] <Vtec> tyvm chris i appreciate it
[15:01] <e370> linux sucks for driver support and games
[15:01] <chrisw2> No problem
[15:01] <e370> windows doesnt
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Vtec: try different distros, there is a whole world more to Linux than ubuntu
[15:01] <IdleOne> This is not a bash Windows channel.
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> e370: all my hardware works perfectly
[15:01]  * thiebaude troll
[15:01] <bazhang> e370, did you have a ubuntu support question?
[15:02] <Pici> e370: This is not a complaint channel.
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> e370: and I play penumbra loads
[15:02] <Chousuke> e370: I'm pretty sure Linux has support for far more devices than windows, but that's not a discussion for this channel :)
[15:02] <IdleOne> e370: we get your point of view. now if you need any more ubuntu help please ask
[15:02] <thiebaude> !offtopic
[15:02] <mgv1> how can i open xchat with all the last channels?
[15:02] <e370> i asked for help yesterday and was ignored
[15:02] <Vtec> i know action but i am fairly new and i don't want to wipe my hd and stuff, i spent days trying to get the driver for my usb adapter
[15:02] <bazhang> mgv1, make them part of your preferred joins
[15:02] <ice_cream> erUSUL, k, did a bit of package searching --> i think ubuntu-minimal is my meta package, as you put it
[15:02] <mgv1> and how can i make xchat under proxy for security? any simple way?
[15:02] <dab_> need someone elite with fluxbox's help /q!
[15:02] <IdleOne> mgv1: set your favorite channels in the Network list
[15:02] <Vtec> what is the best linux distro for like gaming/torrenting?
[15:02] <Chousuke> e370: it sometimes happens. be patient (and ask again)
[15:03] <ice_cream> pretty sure i did an upgrade in the past w/o having ubuntu-desktop  installed
[15:03] <IdleOne> e370: doubtful. maybe nobody knew the answer
[15:03] <bazhang> Vtec, ask in ##linux
[15:03] <ice_cream> after all, i purposely made an environment out of a very minimal install
[15:03] <e370> ok well my webcam doesnt work, it shows a green screen whenever i use it on amsn or skype
[15:03] <erUSUL> ice_cream: there are various... if you have firefox is a desktop machine so you need ubuntu-desktop minimal standar etc...
 how?
[15:04] <bazhang> e370, which cam, what have you done to fix, what errors have you gotten
[15:04] <Chousuke> e370: hm. unfortunately I don't know anything about setting up webcams on ubuntu :(
[15:04] <ard1an> Hi can i get a cd from ubuntu in Kosovo ?
[15:04] <ice_cream> erUSUL, yes, i have standard installed too, but not desktop
[15:04] <Slacktard> Does anyone mayhaps know where the files for storing the sound settings are?
[15:04] <Pici> !shipit | ard1an
[15:04] <doni> jojo
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> e370: can you use pastebin to provide the otput of: lsusb
[15:04] <doni> hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[15:04] <e370> no errors its just green, and its a labtec webcam pro
[15:04] <Slacktard> The GUI is insufficient for my purposes.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> e370: it doesnt matter what you think it is, its what linux sees that counts
[15:05] <erUSUL> e370: tried with any other app like cheese ?
[15:05] <Pici> doni: Do you have a question?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> e370: whats printed on the device means nothing
[15:05] <Dazz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/273510/
[15:05] <bazhang> mgv1, network list under Xchat menu edit ubuntu servers
[15:05] <Chousuke> e370: you might want to try starting amsn/skype from the terminal and see if anything is printed there when you try to use the webcam
[15:05] <Dazz> any one plz help in solving the installation og glibc
[15:05] <myeggo> hello, why when i type "setenv" i get command not found in a normal terminal?
[15:05] <myeggo> is setenv a special command?
[15:06] <bazhang> Dazz, that is installed already
[15:06] <Andy80> hi all
[15:06] <Chousuke> Dazz: wait, what.
[15:06] <e370> never mind, its all very technical and confusing
[15:06] <Chousuke> Dazz: why are you trying to install glibc from source?
[15:06] <e370> im going to install winxp, bye
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> e370: hardly
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> bye
[15:06] <bazhang> bye
[15:06] <nh2> e370: I recomment installing the program "Cheese" which also shows what your webcam sees. This way you can find out if it's a webcam or skype/amsn problem
[15:06] <Dazz> bazhang:  actually am installing it for my own distro
[15:06] <bazhang> Dazz, ubuntu?
[15:06] <Andy80> I've this webcam: Acer HD Crystal Eye webcam (064e:a117), I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and this is the complete output of lsusb -v: http://pastebin.com/m7e9e94d7 I've this problem: the webcam is recognized by the system... I can view myself in Cheese, Skype ecc... BUT, when, for example, I start recording on Cheese, or streaming to Skype, the video goes very slow.... something like 1-2 frames every 5-6 seconds :( how can i fix it?
[15:07] <Slacktard> Apparently not. How unfortunate.
[15:07] <stone1343> can anyone tell me how to "force" install a package without pre-reqs?
 and then after that?
[15:07] <Dazz> yeah
[15:07] <e370> hope that ubuntu netbook works properly on my dell mini 9
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> e370: if you dont understand it, its too hard right :D
[15:07] <Chousuke> Dazz: are you trying to replace the system one, or for something else?
[15:07] <Pici> ActionParsnip: No need to insult our users.
[15:07] <IdleOne> e370: I think you will like the mini9
[15:07] <Dazz> i also have problem in replacing with system one
[15:07] <bazhang> mgv1, click edit, then enter #channelnames,#channelname,#etc
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> e370: all you have to do is run a 1 word command and ive the output then we can advise
[15:08] <e370> does the webcam work on the mini 9 with unbuntu netbook
[15:08] <erUSUL> myeggo: i think setenv is a spcial command of c-shells
[15:08] <Chousuke> Dazz: because if you replace the system glibc, chances are you will have to recompile *everything*
[15:08] <stone1343> i want to install GRAMPS without pulling in Python 2.5 since 2.6 is already installed
[15:08] <Chousuke> Dazz: so, hm, I'm not sure why you're doing this but it doesn't sound like a good idea.
[15:08] <nh2> Andy80: you could boot an Ubuntu 9.10 live CD and see if your webcam works there. If it does, you could use one of the newer or backported packages to make it work unter 9.04, too.
[15:08] <Dazz> yes... while i dive "make " command it shows that error
[15:08] <Pici> stone1343: Theres no problem with having multiple versions of python installed.
 i dont understand - i dont have that option
[15:09] <bazhang> mgv1, is this xchat? or xchat-gnome
[15:09] <senderap> how do i stop 8.04 from auto detecting ntfs partitions.  i don't want them in the file browser or desktop.
[15:09] <stone1343> pici, i know, but I've created a bug that the packaging shouldn't require 2.5
[15:09] <Chousuke> Dazz: for what purpose are you trying to build it yourself? because that's not something you should have to do, ever.
[15:10] <Pici> stone1343: Are you sure it doesnt?
[15:10] <Andy80> nh2: I've tried to install latest driver from sources and it's the same...
[15:10] <Seveas> senderap, remove them from /etc/fstab
[15:10] <Dazz> for college project
[15:10] <stone1343> gramps currently requires 2.5, but it works with 2.5 or 2.6, I want to test it
[15:10] <senderap> they aren't listed in fstab.  first place i looked.
[15:10] <Chousuke> Dazz: anyway, I don't think this error is anything ubuntu specific. you should perhaps post to the glibc mailing list :/
[15:11] <stone1343> pici, does that make sense?
[15:11] <nh2> Andy80: I'm not sure how the webcam architecture works, but for some webcams a newer kernel + newer driver might help
[15:11] <Chousuke> Dazz: just.. did you run ./configure before make? :)
[15:11] <Dazz> Chousuke:  yes
[15:11] <nivirla> senderap: open "gconf-editor" go the properties of nautilus and uncheck "media_automount"
[15:11] <Dazz> at that stage no error
 i didnt knew there were two of them
[15:11] <bazhang> mgv1, yes
[15:12] <Andy80> nh2: I'll try to put a Karmic image on a USB and boot from there... because I've no empty CD at the moment...
[15:12] <stone1343> pici I installed all the pre-reqs except python2.5, now I just need to figure out how to force the GRAMPS install
 its xchat in the about
[15:12] <Red15> looking for anyone experienced with installing ubuntu 8.04 on an HP BL460c G6 blade server
[15:12] <nh2> Andy80: USB is nice, too; for me, its often much faster than a CD
[15:12] <Dazz> Chousuke: anyways thanks
[15:12] <Chousuke> Dazz: maybe you have an incompatible version of mawk or something
[15:12] <Chousuke> Dazz: but I'm just guessing :/
[15:12] <stone1343> pici then I can confirm to the Debian packaging person that it works fine
[15:13] <Pici> stone1343: It does, You could download the package and use dpkg --no-force-depends to install
[15:13] <Dazz> Chousuke:  all the packages are the latest version.... up to date
[15:13] <bazhang> mgv1, look at top menus: xchat, view, server,settings, window, help;  under Xchat:network list ubuntu servers click  edit
[15:13] <senderap> that gconf thing will work but is there a way to be selective on what mounts and what doesn't?
[15:13] <Chousuke> Dazz: Oh well. I'm afraid you're on your own :)
[15:13] <FrEaKmAn_> anybody using sshfs here?
[15:13] <grawity> FrEaKmAn_: Yes.
[15:14] <stone1343> pici yes I tried that for hours last night, maybe that's the crux of my problem, how do I download the package?
[15:14] <josephstalin> Why hello thar
[15:14] <FrEaKmAn_> grawity, after following this article - http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-using-sshfs/
[15:14] <FrEaKmAn_> I got it to work, but I can only access files in terminal
[15:14] <Dazz> Chousuke: :D thanks for help
[15:14] <josephstalin> How the eff do I run .run files? Whenever I try to open it, it opens in my text editor. :|
[15:15] <FrEaKmAn_> grawity, when I try to browse folder, it says - the file is of unknown type
[15:15] <grawity> josephstalin: From the terminal.
[15:15] <josephstalin> Grawity, could you explain exactly?
[15:15] <Pici> stone1343: apt-get -d packagename  (I'm not sure if this downloads to the current directory or into /var/cache/apt/archives/ though)

[15:19] <nivirla> I've updated my question with some more info: Does anyone know where the config files for software-properties-gtk are on the default install of ubuntu 9.04? I can't change any properties for automatic update (I've tried rebooting and running it both as regular user, with sudo privileges and with sudo su), but it stays the same with "check for updates: Daily" and all other options not checked, but with a round dot in it instead. Image of it can be
[15:19] <nivirla> No errors are found in log files and I've tried running "sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-properties-gtk" without any improvement.
 i could now find it

[15:22] <josephstalin> Okay, I've expanded on my question. I have a file called tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run in my /home/josephstalin directory. How do I run it? If in the terminal, what exactly do I type?
[15:22] <bazhang> mgv1, please explain then
[15:23] <bazhang> josephstalin, that is in the repos
 instead of typing i want a shortcut to type email address
[15:23] <IdleOne> josephstalin: sudo apt-get install tremulous
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> josephstalin: cd ~;chmod +x ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run; ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run
[15:23] <josephstalin> Oh, thanks everyone!

[15:24] <bazhang> mgv1, there is likely one for Ubuntu as well
[15:24] <pont> somebody sitting on a Hp compaq 6735s here?

[15:25] <NomiSunrider> hi there
[15:26] <sutv> I want set ? = find <name> How can I do ?
[15:27] <sutv> I did it but with some Error : such as : bash not commanded
[15:27] <sutv> error with "?"
[15:27] <Pici> sutv: ? is a wildcard, you can't use that for an alias.
[15:27] <sutv> So i can done my job :(

[15:28] <chriscohen> hi all - trying to rename ALL _svn folders in ALL subfolders below a certain folder, and i've tried find . -name "_svn" -exec mv {} .svn \;
[15:28] <chriscohen> anyone have any idea?
[15:28] <sutv> Oh! I know
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> subflux: ok now run: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[15:28] <sutv> but: I want to use "?"  instead use "find <st>"
[15:29] <subflux> ActionParsnip, the output is there for dpkg --configure -a
[15:29] <lenovoubuntu> hi anyone can help me, i install ubuntu 9.0.4, i have 2 type of network, 1 is for internet connection (wireless modem), 1 is for local network (wlan), if i enable and connect internet connection then i conect to wlan, i can not receive data packet from internet connection, what i must do about that? thx
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> subflux: yuo could force install the debs in /var/cache/apt/archives
[15:30] <psycho_oreos> lenovoubuntu, you can't enable both at the same time, they both have different gateways
[15:30] <Pici> sutv: Best to ask in #bash then, I don't think you can do that though.
[15:30] <subflux> okay ActionParsnip - how do I go about that one?
[15:30] <sutv> @lenovoubuntu : You should use one of them
[15:30] <sutv> really! btw, thx
[15:31] <GeminiDomino> Is anyone aware if there is support for either a) using a loopback volume for a particular user's home directory or, failing that, making /home on same that works automatically?
[15:32] <Vtec> Hello I have really slow reception to my router under my homepage for configuration I see an option that says Turbo Mode: Enable/Disable it's disabled I've never touched it before, would enabling it increase my signal strength?
[15:32] <subflux> ActionParsnip: would it be a case of running  sudo dpkg --force-depends --install *.deb
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> subflux: cd /var/cache/apt/archives; sudo dpkg --force-all -i *.deb
[15:33] <subflux> hah
[15:33] <subflux> thanks ActionParsnip

[15:34] <NomiSunrider> hi. i'm looking for people who want to test my website.
[15:34] <Pici> sutv: The shell programming channel is #bash, /join #bash     to get there
[15:34] <shneedlwoods> o.O
[15:34] <Pici> NomiSunrider: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the best place to ask
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> subflux: run: sudo apt-get -f install afterwards
[15:34] <subflux> ActionParsnip: /var/cache/apt/archives is empyt, bar "lock" and "partial" - no .deb s
[15:34] <sutv> Ok! I will try
[15:34] <NomiSunrider> thanks
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> subflux: try in partial
[15:36] <subflux> ActionParsnip: also empty
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> subflux: hmm

[15:38] <subflux> ActionParsnip: "/var/cache/apt$ find | grep .deb" has nothing to report..
[15:39] <GeminiDomino> PcN: If you're using firefox, then presumably under $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/{PROFILE}/cookies.txt where $HOME is your home directory and profile is the random string firefox gives you
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> subflux: you need apt-get to pull down debs for you
[15:40] <sahil1> Ya..i think so...i am trying out that ubuntu link
[15:40] <sahil1> Thanks bazhang
[15:41] <tuxxie> I think my harddrive maybe crapping out on my mysql server. is there a way I can test the hardrive on a production server?
[15:41] <subflux> ActionParsnip: I'm really not sure what's going on here at all... what do I need to tell apt-get to do?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> subflux: you need apt-get to download the debs, you cna then force instal thm to supress dependancy errors etc and geta square system
[15:42] <sahil1> hey bazhang:::::
[15:42] <subflux> sorry, ActionParsnip, what I mean is, how do I tell it to do that? Thanks for your patience...
[15:43] <subflux> ActionParsnip: and what debs are the ones that I'll need..?
[15:43] <bazhang> sahil1, hi
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> subflux: sudo apt-get -d <something>
[15:43] <sahil1> hey bazhang
[15:43] <MK13> is there a way to make a program run in a program show in the console and log it's output/input to a file at the same time?
[15:43] <sahil1> the step which that site has shown
[15:43] <bazhang> sahil1, yes, ask a question
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> subflux: you need the debs of all the packages in your output
[15:44] <subflux> nice one ActionParsnip, I'll give that a go. Many thanks.

[15:45] <OllieR> Is there a limit on how many processes you can run?
[15:45] <OllieR> been using cronolog to rotate my log files, each log spawns a new process. They use next to no mem (as in nothing) but wondering whether linux has an inbuilt limit..
[15:46] <Redhotmily> thx bazhang! :)
[15:46] <sahil1> I wanna ask arn't those step are similar to reinstalling the ubuntu and then going into the manual installation , mouting /, /boot and /swap partision again. But not to format them.
[15:47] <sahil1> Will that work?? instead of writing code in the terminal.
[15:47] <bazhang> sahil1, I thought you just wanted to restore grub; you now wish to reinstall?
[15:47] <sahil1> i jst want to restore grub
[15:47] <sahil1> But that llink have done , similar
[15:47] <sahil1> thing
[15:47] <sahil1> there , it mount the /,/boot/ ...etc again
[15:48] <sahil1> but  using terminal.
[15:48] <jagadish> #bashcheck
[15:48] <jagadish> #!bin/bash
[15:48] <jagadish>  echo "this is bash sript" > file
[15:49] <zzzzzZZZZzzz> afk
[15:49] <bazhang> sahil1, not really understanding you
[15:49] <jagadish> this is my script which iam scheduling using at command
[15:49] <jagadish> but that command seems to give waring saying that script will be executed using /bin/sh but i want it to exectute in bash shell
[15:51] <subflux> ActionParsnip: not a .deb to be found after doing the apt-get -d install *
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> subflux: idont think it will use *, you should specify a package
[15:52] <subflux> ActionParsnip: sorry, replace the asterisk with each of the package names in that output...
[15:52] <sahil1> can't i restore the grub by mounting /,/boot and /swap,...by going into ubuntu manual installation instead of typing command in terminal. I'll not let click on format dircotory option.That ubuntu post has done much and more similar thing. But through terminal.By doing so, would i get my grub back....or will i end up with a new installation of ubuntu?????????????????????
[15:52] <stone1343> pici: thanks, the dpkg -i gramps thing seems to have worked except the post install script failed. would that be because of the missing pre-req. GRAMPS starts up, I haven't tried any real functionality yet

[15:54] <sahil1> so, bazhang....cant i retrive my grub back by going into manual installtion instead of typing some crap in the terminal?????????

[15:56] <lucarg> hello! i have a dumb question probably... how do i make awn start up only in gnome session and not in kde?
[15:56] <bazhang> sahil1, not sure what you mean by 'crap from the terminal' that guide is the best way to go (as opposed to what you are suggesting)

[15:57] <Disconnect> any way to disable CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM? need to either get /dev/mem working or drive to the datacenter to make bios changes :( i'd rather not go there. its 2.5 hours away w/o traffic on the other side of DC
[15:57] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub sahil1
[15:58] <Ekushey> Disconnect what is CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM?
[15:58] <mouseclone> I locked my keyboard input in Gnome with a shortcut key, and I am unable to get it unlocked.  I'm using a CLI irc client right now.  So if you could help me it would be great
[15:58] <lucarg> no idea about this???
[15:59] <Disconnect> Ekushey: basically it mangles how /dev/mem works, and so you get "[  309.318177] Program syscfg tried to access /dev/mem between f9000->109000." instead of access :(
[15:59] <Disconnect> (in this case, syscfg is a dell redhat util that can change bios settings. works fine with a little library mangling. and /dev/mem of course.)

[16:01] <DareDevil0> yes

[16:02] <DareDevil0> _ruben, exactly
[16:02] <Disconnect> _ruben ++. if you're root and its wired, you -should- see every packet the machine does.
[16:02] <_ruben> Disconnect: yes, but the machine wont see all lan traffic
[16:02] <Disconnect> _ruben: depends on the switch. some can be told to go promisc.
[16:03] <DareDevil0> _ruben, i know that using a dnsspoof or some kind of tool like that i can received all the packages but i don't remember
