[19:07] <safeWay> what is this  201  netstat -tunap | grep 80
[19:07] <Bipul`> i can not able to see online videos specially divx movies
[19:07] <alnewkirk-away> Yoinx, im setting up a pptp server on my ubuntu server and trying to connect to it from my window machine
[19:07] <mena> jiltdil, okay can you wait me after restart to ask you some question?
[19:07] <Naphidia> hey guys... whats a good opensource blogging package for a single user that i can install with apt-get ?
[19:07] <drag0nz> hey guys, if i have 5 files ending with file.ext01 file.ext02 and so on, would it work if i use "scp file.ext* user@host:./" ?
[19:07] <llutz> drag0nz: yes
[19:08] <Naphidia> ?
[19:08] <jiltdil> mena: ok but don't forget to complete poweroff your system and pulling all your connection
[19:08] <alnewkirk-away> Yoinx, no im using pptp server on my ubuntu server and trying to connect to it using windows vpn client
[19:08] <drag0nz> llutz, so it will send all 5 files like that? cool thanks
[19:08] <Naphidia> can anyone recommend a opensource blog type software
[19:08] <Naphidia> ?>
[19:09] <Yoinx> That's at least more information... asking a question with a broad specification would be like coming in here and just saying "My http isn't working"
[19:09] <Yoinx> But, anyway. Did you follow a guide to setup the server?
[19:09] <alnewkirk-away> Naphidia, wordpress, movabletype
[19:09] <Naphidia> can i install that with apt-get
[19:09] <Naphidia> ?
[19:09] <alnewkirk-away> Naphidia, not sure, probably
[19:10] <Yoinx> Naph, doubt it. they're web software... you'd install the webserver/frameworks and then put them into it.
[19:10] <brightspark> Does anyone know why I get this message running apt-get: "dpkg: warning: files list file for package `foxitreader' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed."
[19:10] <alnewkirk-away> Yoinx, i have it installed and configured correctly but the setup is not right, I can connect and authenticate but I can't resolve domain names or ips once connected
[19:11] <jiltdil> llutz:lpr - pdf foo.txt doenot create pdf
[19:11] <Yoinx> yeah Al, I was asking because just looking at a few guides for it so far (they were for 10.04 though) you have to uncomment the lines to allow ipv4. If you just installed the server and didn't uncomment the lines, that might be causing you problems
[19:11] <alnewkirk-away> Yoinx, ... which per googling seems to be a common problem with no straight-forward solution
[19:11] <Yoinx> ...Thats why I was wondering if you had used a guide to set it up
[19:12] <alnewkirk-away> I had used a guide and uncommented those lines
[19:12] <alnewkirk-away> still .... no dice :\
[19:12] <Yoinx> I don't really have much experience with it. But, at least you've given enough information if someone else does
[19:13] <physically_fit> how do I move the window of my clock settings: the top of that window is much higher than the top of my screen and I cant't see the button to set the clock. I restarted my pc and still can't move it.
[19:13] <mena> jiltdil, i come back again
[19:13] <mena> jiltdil, can we continue now?
[19:13] <Naphidia> yeah im running this webserver i got for free
[19:13] <Yoinx> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-pptp-vpn-server-with-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html < thats the guide I was looking at though. Looks liek there were a few gotchas
[19:13] <alnewkirk-away> Yoinx, thanks anyway
[19:13] <Naphidia> http://www.newfiemedia.ca/sysinfo
[19:13] <Naphidia> i wana put my blog on there
[19:13] <alnewkirk-away> Yoinx, thats the one i used to do the initial setup
[19:14] <joeb_> sudo aptitiude kubuntu-kde4-desktop <-- is this the best way to install kde ?
[19:14] <physically_fit> help me. how do I move the window of my clock settings: the top of that window is much higher than the top of my screen and I cant't see the button to set the clock. I restarted my pc and still can't move it. i right clicken on the task bar and the option "move" is greyed out.
[19:15] <oCean> Naphidia: how is that related to #ubuntu?
[19:15] <ruan> physically_fit: right click it and uncheck "lock to panel"
[19:15] <Naphidia> i want to install opensource package... of ffs this isnt debian
[19:15] <ruan> physically_fit: then move
[19:15] <mena> jiltdil?
[19:15] <Yoinx> looks like most people do it in reverse too alnewkirk-away
[19:15] <oCean> Naphidia: it says 'debian squeeze'
[19:16] <Naphidia> yea
[19:16] <Naphidia> i thought it was ubuntu
[19:16] <Naphidia> i was just given this thing
[19:16] <oCean> Naphidia: it's offtopic
[19:16] <physically_fit> ruan, but that moves the clock on my taskbar, i want to move the window that opens when i click on the clock to see its settings
[19:16] <stianhj> physically_fit, can you see the bottom of it?
[19:16] <Naphidia> perhaps... it dont matter anyways... i only asked for opinion on opensource blogging software for ubuntu
[19:16] <Naphidia> :)
[19:17] <physically_fit> stianhj, yes, i see a worldmap
[19:17] <mena> hey, i need help plz?
[19:17] <oCean> Naphidia: this channel is for support. Better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:17] <Naphidia> which still fits under the topic if i were to install it on a ubuntu server
[19:17] <stianhj> physically_fit, if you can reach it, you can ALT-LeftClick and drag it
[19:17] <[TK]D-Fender> Naphidia: that would be "blogging scripts", because there is generally no binary for any of this.
[19:17] <oCean> Naphidia: no, this is not the channel for opinions
[19:17] <unlock> hey guys
[19:17] <[TK]D-Fender> Naphidia: this really isn't an OS issue
[19:17] <stianhj> physically_fit, wait, the dropdown thing when you click the gnome-panel clock has moved? i can't even move mine
[19:17] <physically_fit> stianhj, it doesn't move, nither right or left click.
[19:17] <Naphidia> neither is vpn :P and your talking about

[19:18] <llutz> jiltdil: install cups-pdf    "lpr -P pdf foo.txt"   if your pdf-printer is named "pdf"
[19:18] <stianhj> physically_fit, right click on the clock, remove from panel, and add it again
[19:18] <llutz> jiltdil: resulting pdf in ~/PDF
[19:18] <[TK]D-Fender> Naphidia: VPN can be as at least that is a program which also has kernel dependencies, etc
[19:18] <jiltdil> llutz: didn't get u

[19:29] <khrm> Well I think to prevent that use a firewall called ufw using it gui frontend. Enabled it and disabled incoming connection to application desktop viewer
[19:29] <llutz> khrm: mena no, to prevent that, switch those desktop-sharing things OFF
[19:29] <jccorrea> hi people
[19:30] <mena> Fender, plz explain what do you mean, i am beginner with ubuntu not professional
[19:30] <brightspark> mean: click on System, Preferences, Remote Desktop and make sure it is not set to let other access your computer
[19:30] <mena> fender, i need learn from you
[19:30] <donnib> any ideas ?
[19:30] <[TK]D-Fender> mena: Look on your menu bar.  "SYSTEM" <-
[19:30] <jccorrea> anyone know a app to view the ink level?
[19:30] <khrm> iilutz how do you suggest to do that? I think blocking all incoming connection to desktop sharing will solve it.
[19:31] <mena> Fender, okay?
[19:31] <llutz> khrm: 1st step always is to stop unwanted services
[19:31] <oCean> ^ so true
[19:31] <llutz> khrm: hiding them by using iptables shouldn't be the preffered solution
[19:32] <mena> Fender, what's the next step after System->?
[19:32] <brightspark> mena: click on System, Preferences, Remote Desktop and make sure it is not set to let other access your computer
[19:33] <mena> brightsprk, ok i see that uncheck to can other remotly my com
[19:33] <llutz> khrm: i don't know how that desktop-sharing works (i never used it) but it should have an option to disable it (if it isn't heavily broken)
[19:33] <mena> but i need see whos connect to my con afew hours
[19:33] <mena> ?
[19:34] <mena> brightspark, i need to see by log file viewer whos connct to my com afew hourse
[19:34] <mena> ?
[19:34] <khrm> llutz I too haven't used it only ssh. Ubuntu shouldn't have it by default.

[19:37] <trism> mena: vino doesn't log connections (there is a bug for adding that feature), although there may be something in ~/.cache/notify-osd.log since it usually sends a notification when someone connects
[19:37] <cheche> offsense: possibly the port is closed
[19:37] <Guest98090> Hey, my cronjob isn't working.  I did crontab -e, it brought me to a page with a single comment
[19:37] <offsense> cheche: how do we open the port
[19:37] <Guest98090> I added this comment:  * * * * *  /bin/echo "kangaroo" >> /home/sean/kangaroo
[19:37] <Guest98090> It does not update the file
[19:37] <mena> trism, okay can you explain steps to help me
[19:37] <Guest98090> what gives?
[19:38] <cheche> offsense: ? what are you trying to do?
[19:38] <donnib> what does mount error(13) Permission denied mean besides Permission denied, can i get mount to log verbose ?
[19:39] <cannonball> donnib: there's probably a more verbose or explicit message in the logs of the nfs server.
[19:39] <offsense> cheche: i try to install cacti on my box, but it cant install new site, i suspect it might be a problem with my snmp
[19:39] <donnib> cannonball: how do i get to that ?
[19:39] <mena> trism, i see the mouse around as someone take with my mouse
[19:39] <Gledders> Hi everyone
[19:39] <trism> mena: type: gedit ~/.cache/notify-osd.log and look for a message that looks like "Someone has connected to this computer", I believe it gives the name of the system or possibly the ip, though it has been a while since I used vino
[19:39] <Guest98090> Did you guys see my message?
[19:39] <cheche> offsense: is ubuntu running on the machine that you trying to monitor?
[19:40] <trism> mena: is the person still connected? the notification area icon tells you who is connected if you click on it (may need to enable that in System/Preferences/Remote Desktop)
[19:40] <offsense> its a router that i try to monitor
[19:41] <mena> trism. no one connct noe because i shutdown  my com from afew min
[19:41] <cheche> offsense: say that you want to monitor <IP_ADDRESS>. "telnet <IP_ADDRESS> 161" see if that replies
[19:41] <brightspark> mena: it looks like that information isn't logged.  you could try typing "last" in the terminal.  Are there any names you don't recognise on that list?
[19:42] <mena> Trism, ago i chcked this option that can any one to connect remotly to my com but after this accident i unchecked

[19:44] <Arachon> Erm... my network-manager.conf seems to have disappeared...
[19:45] <cheche> offsense: to ge snmp working you need that port open on the router

[19:53] <makmanalp> hello, i'm trying to get the 3m microtouch touchscreen to work and i hit the bug described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-mutouch/+bug/533502 . The end states that the bug is fixed in 11.04, does that mean that there is no way to use it in, say, 10.10?
[19:54] <joeabbey> llutz: I _think_ the beagle board is using uboot
[19:54] <brightspark> mena: If that is all he did, I don't think there will be enough information to find him.
[19:54] <jethrot> Pici how do I get my editor into an ubuntu distro??
[19:54] <joeabbey> llutz: Do you know if text will work similarly for that bootloarder?
[19:54] <hylian> makmanalp, let me take a look and see.
[19:54] <makmanalp> hylian: thank you
[19:54] <llutz> joeabbey: i don't know
[19:54] <brightspark> th0r: does that file show remote desktop logins?
[19:55] <joeabbey> llutz: thanks any way :)
[19:55] <th0r> brightspark: that should show all login attempts. I used to use it to block IP blocks using iptables
[19:55] <th0r> brightspark: then I found that using non-standard ports pretty much eliminates hack attempts.....no need to block IPs
[19:55] <mena> brightspark, what did you mean?

[19:56] <Andorin> Isn't there a command line tool that opens a window showing whether your webcam is working?
[19:56] <th0r> brightspark: course....haven't played much with such things in years...ubuntu might have eliminated that so it wouldn't confuse new users <smile>
[19:57] <hylian> makmanalp, it looks like fixing your problem in 10.10's version of xserver would create another problem. I think they are working on this, but then again perhaps they aren't because it will be available in 11.04. i would think they will get around to, eventually....
[19:57] <xhabeli> hi
[19:57] <xhabeli> hi _eclark
[19:57] <ferkku> hi everyone
[19:57] <jethrot> Pici what is a PPA
[19:58] <brightspark> th0r: thanks a bunch.  mena  claims he had someone else remote desktop into his computer.  He wants to find out who it was.
[19:58] <Ranjan> hello every body can any body can help me in finding uuid of my hard disk I can see two different values for this one is by executing "sudo blkid" and other is by reinstalling  uswsusp please help me figure out the correct value for uuid for my swap partision
[19:59] <Pici> jethrot: A personal package archive.  It lets users install software that isn't in the repos easily.  See https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA for more info.
[19:59] <hylian> does anyone have a better answer to makmanalp's question?
[19:59] <th0r> brightspark: well, if it was a remote access the IP should be in that log. Course, it is always possible to go through a proxy and hide your actual ip
[20:00] <W4RH4WK> anyone got idea with my syslinux problem, where syslinux doesn't create a isolinux.bin file but requires it when booting
[20:00] <yuzodo> jethrot, see my PM
[20:00] <hylian> why would playing a video, in flv format, in totem or mplayer lock up the whole machine?
[20:00] <MileHiDave> hylian: cuz you were watching pron and that is naughty? j/k
[20:00] <hylian> MileHiDave, pron?
[20:01] <MileHiDave> hylian: aka porn
[20:01] <mena> brightspark : Are you her?
[20:01] <hylian> MileHiDave, i was watching pod's youth of the nation, but it did the same thing on another flv video
[20:01] <leftiness> I expect this will solve my fglrx/catalyst problems,  but I'm uncertain how to use it: (http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=33460).
[20:02] <MileHiDave> hylian: do all flv lock you up?
[20:02] <hylian> MileHiDave, all video's do. an avi did it too.
[20:02] <brightspark> mena: I'm here.  As per th0r, you may be able to find the IP address of the intruder by opening the terminal and typing more /var/log/messages
[20:02] <aboutaboy> need help deciphering why my pptp-server connection fails ... syslog dump (minified) here http://paste.ubuntu.com/580267/
[20:03] <hylian> i gotta reboot, see y'all later :)
[20:03] <MileHiDave> later
[20:03] <BluesKaj> hylian,  try vlc, totem and mplayer have probs lately
[20:04] <mena> brightspark, i wrot it and i can't understand the resolute
[20:04] <MileHiDave> greetings.. I have 2 sata hd's with ubuntu and xp, ubuntu hd is first in bios boot order.. any links/tips to get a dual boot going?
[20:05] <W43372> How do i purge all the data for desktop drapes? somehow the wrong folder of pictures got added into it and now I've got a bajillion little icons getting turned into my wallpaper
[20:05] <jethrot> Pici: how do I get something listed on USC?
[20:05] <leftiness> MileHiDave: It's for Arch, but I've always found their documentation helpful: (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Windows_and_Arch_Dual_Boot)
[20:05] <th0r> mena: you don't have to understand it all.....just look for login attempts. They should show the IP from which it came, the username, and the date time
[20:06] <W43372> How do i purge all the data for desktop drapes? somehow the wrong folder of pictures got added into it and now I've got a bajillion little icons getting turned into my wallpaper
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> MileHiDave: boot to ubuntu and run: sudo apt-get -y install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub
[20:07] <dagon666> W43372: look for hidden directory in your homedir, something like .drapes
[20:07] <MileHiDave> ActionParsnip: thanks! doing that now
[20:07] <mena> th0r: i see more and more line which line specific i see?
[20:08] <W43372> dagon666: Werd, dude. Thanks.
[20:08] <Alex__> Who can help me with evolution?
[20:09] <MileHiDave> ActionParsnip: rebooting.. brb
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> MileHiDave: personally i'd have installed both OSs to the same drive then made an NTFS partition occupying all of the second drive for both OSs to use for user data
[20:09] <jccorrea> anyone test escputil and its work ?
[20:10] <mattbd> mena: Are yo trying to examine a log file of some kind? If so, using grep to filter out what you need should be very helpful
[20:10] <jccorrea> i'm trying to retrive ink level for a epson but for whine...doesn'r work
[20:10] <leftiness> Is someone able to explain how to implement this solution? (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24667#c24)
[20:10] <dotlegend> how can i give access to my secondary drive over the network to everyone?
[20:10] <cptmorgan> running 8.04 and i need to replicate an installed system. I've always done this with rsync. Everything boots up correctly on a fresh drive with identical partition table and filesystems but when booting the first time it complains about /var/run and /var/lock (varrun,varlock) and cannot start networking because of this. A reboot fixes this problem. Is there a reason this happens or a way to restore these filesystems so this doesn't happen
[20:11] <mena> mattbd: can you show me steps to do this plz?
[20:11] <dotlegend> currently it gives an error not accessible when connecting over the lan
[20:11] <dotlegend> network access is denied
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> dotlegend: you can use samba or more securely, sshfs
[20:11] <mattbd> mena:OK, what log file are you wanting to look at and what do you want to get from it?
[20:11] <llutz> cptmorgan: you shouldn't backup pid-/lockfiles
[20:11] <themis> hi how can i join french ubuntu server with gnome X chat
[20:11] <hilarie> Halp... ubuntu feel's that my HPDV7 Wireless indicator light needs to flash upon network activity(in windows it is orange or green for on off of the wifi, here in ubuntu it's solid orange, with blue flashes for network activity
[20:11] <aladoinsano> Does (X)ubuntu have ntive support for 802.11n? Im running Xubuntu 10.10 and im pretty sure it connect with 802.11g since the speed is a lot slower than in Windows
[20:12] <iceroot> themis: /join #ubuntu-fr
[20:12] <iceroot> aladoinsano: yes it has
[20:12] <dotlegend> actionparsnip: i setup samba, and made it visible and writable and for everyone still says access is denied
[20:12] <genii-around> themis: Or, if you are in Quebec, /join #ubuntu-qc
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> !fr | themis
[20:12] <iceroot> aladoinsano: its depening on your wifi-driver
[20:12] <dagon666> Im having problems with my printer shared via samba. After I restart my machine people no longer can print to it via samba, when I restart samba everything goes back to normal, how to fix this ? Before restarting samba I see such messages http://pastie.org/1671577 in the samba log for the failed printing attempts
[20:12] <cptmorgan> llutz: im backing up a system thats in a livecd and not running. the system was powered off... shouldnt those file be gone?
[20:12] <mena> mathbd : i wrot this command "more /var/log/messages" to find whos connect to my com
[20:13] <llutz> cptmorgan: oops, yes they should
[20:13] <aladoinsano> iceroot: ok, is there anyway i can check if it connects with the N standard?
[20:13] <iceroot> aladoinsano: iwconfig should show you
[20:13] <cptmorgan> llutz: i boot into a livecd and mount the filesystem and back them up with rsync appropriately. I then on the new system create the partition table and filesystems and rsync the data back over and install grub.
[20:13] <mattbd> mena: First of all, I would use less rather than more, it's a better version of the same thing
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> dotlegend: run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER  and you can authenticate as your user
[20:13] <iceroot> mena: just use "w" to see who is connected
[20:14] <mattbd> mena: However, you really want to filter out what you want first before you look at it
[20:14] <mattbd> mena: I would use something like cat /var/log/messages | grep phrasetofind | less
[20:14] <rojikku> Question..I installed compiz fusion and enabled the rain effect...And it worked fine..Nooot sure what I did but now when I try it the screen gets sorta blurry and there are no rain drops 0.o
[20:14] <cptmorgan> llutz: interesting enough i dont see varun or varlock mounted...
[20:14] <mena> mathd : then which command can i type in terminal plz?
[20:14] <aladoinsano> iceroot: yes it says "IEEE 802.11abg" thats what i suspected. ok i will try to see if i can find a driver for my card
[20:14] <cptmorgan> llutz: on the system ive backed up i do
[20:15] <W43372> dagon666: I has no .drapes in my homefolder
[20:15] <mattbd> mena: What you need to do is get the contents of the file via vat, pipe it into grep to search for what you want, then pipe the result into less
[20:16] <dagon666> W43372: find -name *drapes*. I see the configuration in .gnome2/drapes.xml
[20:16] <mattbd> mena: So, something like cat /var/log/messages | grep phrase_you_are_looking_for | less should do what you want
[20:16] <MileHiDave> ActionParsnip: woo hoo.. thanks man.. worked like a champ
[20:16] <mena> matbd : i am sad to say i can't uberstant you mean. plz explain
[20:17] <MileHiDave> ActionParsnip: now if you know of a way to use vbox to run my windows hd while booted to ubuntu, lots O booze would be showered on ya hehehe
[20:17] <W43372> dagon666: You know, I assumed it would have been stashed in that folder. I need to learn to check one more place before i bug people :P
[20:17] <mattbd> mena: You need to find a word that occurs in the file that is relevant to what you want, and use grep to search for that
[20:19] <judgen> llutz: Nope a dd did not fix the issue...
[20:19] <mena> matbd : yes i do it and this liks shows this "http://paste.ubuntu.com/580275/"
[20:19] <judgen> llutz: Maybe the disks are all about to die or something. But it seems odd, as they are new and from different manufacturers.
[20:20] <mena> matbd : i need to find who connect to my com today remotly
[20:20] <stillunknown1> hi. where ubuntu`s apt-get save downloaded packages?
[20:20] <mattbd> mena: OK, I think you're probably looking in the wrong log in the first place
[20:20] <rojikku> stillunknown1: In your home folder, I THINK...not sure. Google has it if nobody here does...
[20:20] <lotuspsychje> any1 know a good package for autofill webforms?
[20:21] <mena> matbd: ooh can you help me to solve it?
[20:21] <iceroot> mena: as i told you just press "w" on the terminal, then you see how is connected at the moment, use "last" to see how was connected
[20:21] <iceroot> who
[20:21] <BluesKaj> stillunknown1,  downloaded and installed or just downloaded?
[20:21] <stillunknown1> rojikku: fail
[20:21] <stillunknown1> BluesKaj: just
[20:21] <cosmo> I tried bookmarks in nautilus and it tries to add the whole drive, I have video, audio and documents stored in folders on other drives in categories and sub-categories in win 7 I could just add them to library folders in explorer without having to copy them to the main drive this made accessing them convenient and I was hoping to do the same in ubuntu but not sure how (would like to have links to them in the home folder where it already has cat
[20:21] <cosmo> egories like documents, music, video, etc.) any ideas or suggestions?
[20:22] <GOMI> how much processes is normal for ubuntu to have ?
[20:22] <mattbd> mena: I know where it is in Arch, but it's not there in Ubuntu. Let me have a brief look on Google...
[20:22] <ionut> anyone knows a good web scrapper ?
[20:22] <mattbd> ionut:How about the LWP module in Perl?

[20:25] <llutz> judgen: checked cables?
[20:25] <frxstrem> how can I restore the Applications menu back to the default?
[20:25] <judgen> llutz: yup several different ones.
[20:26] <mattbd> ionut:Not that I know of, but LWP::Simple is VERY easy - just enter something like what I've put at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/580281/

[20:26] <judgen> llutz: but i have one more that is still in it's plastic so i will try that cable too.
[20:26] <panfist> i have been using 10.04 lts as a dev workstation for a while but i just got some new hardware and i'm not sure what version to install. 10.04 has been working for me, but 10.10 is nice, BUT i really really don't like natty narwhal so far
[20:27] <panfist> basically i was wondering if when natty narwhal finally comes if it will be possible to use a more familiar desktop enviornment
[20:27] <W43372> how do i put the trash bin back on the bottom panel if I wasn't paying attention and removed it?
[20:27] <mattbd> mena:Is that the output from the who command?
[20:27] <emilos> alright, can someone help a noob restart nautilus then?
[20:28] <tsimpson> mattbd: from 'w', not 'who'
[20:28] <mena> mattbd : i wrot "w" in termainal and the resolute is USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
[20:28] <mena> .

[20:29] <Hedgehog456> The Workspace Switcher isn't working anymore.
[20:29] <mattbd> mena:OK, looks like no-one but you is logged in at present
[20:30] <mena> mattbd : i ask about 4 hours age
[20:30] <mena> mattbd : not present
[20:30] <tsimpson> mena: see the output of "last"
[20:30] <mattbd> mena: Was that by SSH?
[20:31] <mena> mattbd : see "http://paste.ubuntu.com/580284/"

[20:31] <joshmclvl1> W43372: my first guess would be try using gconf-editor to add it back in, but that's using a chainsaw to cut toast ^_^; open gconf-editor, then go to apps/nautilus/desktop and click on make trash icon visible.
[20:31] <stillunknown1> mena: gtfo
[20:32] <mena> stilunknown1: what're you mean plz?
[20:32] <mattbd> mena: That's from your /var/log/messages?
[20:32] <aladoinsano> How do i fin
[20:32] <mena> matbd: command plz?
[20:33] <aladoinsano> How do i find the model/make of my wireless nic in ubuntu?
[20:33] <mattbd> mena: What I mean is, is what you've pasted the contents of the file called /var/log/messages
[20:33] <W43372> joshmclvl1 how do?
[20:33] <aladoinsano> Or the name of the driver for it
[20:33] <tsimpson> mena: than no one bug you has logged in since the 5th
[20:34] <tsimpson> mattbd: it's the output of "last"
[20:34] <joshmclvl1> W43372: press alt + F2, type in gconf-editor , and then follow the previous instructions (they're 'folders' you need to expand). gconf is comparable (but nowhere near as bad as) the windows registry.
[20:34] <ohzie> Is there a linux utility that may allow me to open up an ntrestore file from windows server 2003?
[20:35] <joshmclvl1> W43372: the folders were app/nautilus/desktop , and then check the box for 'show trash can' or the like.

[20:35] <papna__> Is there an easy way to get chmod to make group/other permissions match you? i.e., 644 - > 666, 770 -> 777
[20:35] <papna__> Oops, sorry.
[20:35] <mattbd> mena: Are you running an SSH server on your computer? Is that how someone else connected to your computer?
[20:36] <mena> mattbd : exlain to me plz
[20:36] <hylian> hey guys, i ssh'ed to a unix machine via ctrl-f3-alt and then ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>anywayz, that stopped functioning for some reason, how do i kill an app in a terminal setting via console like that?
[20:36] <mena> mattbd :explain
[20:36] <fenix_> server rus.net.org
[20:37] <mattbd> mena: You said that someone else logged into your computer?
[20:37] <fenix_> rusnet.org.ru
[20:37] <W43372> joshmclvl1 how long does it take to show back up
[20:37] <tsimpson> mena: unless you installed some software to allow others to access your system over the network/internet, then the only way people can login by sitting at the computer
[20:37] <genii-around> fenix_:  /server wherever
[20:37] <mena> mathbd : ya i see him iam sure
[20:37] <stillunknown1> mena: get the f.. off from here. you're typing bullshit. you need a doctor
[20:37] <joshmclvl1> W43372: If it's not there it might have moved somewhere unseeable on the desktop; try right clicking and realigning/sorting icons
[20:38] <mattbd> mena: If someone else logged in remotely, SSH or Telnet are the most likely ways for someone to do that
[20:38] <tsimpson> !guidelines | stillunknown1
[20:38] <mena> stillunknow1 :thanks for your opinion
[20:39] <mattbd> mena: But to do so, the computer would need to be running an SSH or Telnet server, and the port would need to be open so it could connect
[20:40] <mattbd> mena: You can tell if the SSH daemon is running with the command ps aux | grep sshd - it should then say if an ssh server is running
[20:40] <MileHiDave> ActionParsnip: now if you know of a way to use vbox to run my windows hd while booted to ubuntu, lots O booze would be showered on ya hehehe

[20:42] <rupert_millard> Hi. First time ever on IRC! On my new laptop, I am getting an intermittent kernel panic within about a minute of powering up. I installed "linux-crashdump" so I can give the developers a proper bug report, but although it seems to dump a load of data on the panic, I can't find it anywhere when I boot up. So I've got two problems - what (is/am I doing) wrong with linux-crashdump, and how do I give the best bug report to the devs?
[20:43] <mattbd> mena:I would also run ps aux | grep telnetd to check if the telnet daemon is installed
[20:43] <mena> mattbd : that's mean no one connect to my com never
[20:43] <mattbd> mena:That means no-one can connect via SSH
[20:43] <ZenMasta> I need help with a cron job. I was copying this script to backup mysql and one of the lines is "ROTATE = 8" so I guess it only keeps 8 backups. When I run the script I get this error ./mysqlbackup.sh: 10: ROTATE: not found
[20:43] <mena> mena      3387  0.0  0.0   7628   928 pts/0    S+   22:43   0:00 grep --color=auto telnetd
[20:44] <emilos> can someone please tell my why my external drive will not mount :(
[20:44] <mena> mattbd : mena      3387  0.0  0.0   7628   928 pts/0    S+   22:43   0:00 grep --color=auto telnetd
[20:44] <llutz> ZenMasta: no spaces ROTATE=8
[20:44] <emilos> it mounted perfectly once then disappeared
[20:44] <mattbd> mena: OK, so telnetd isn't running either
[20:44] <EnginA> auditd is running, I'm adding rules with autditctl, and they are being listed with 'auditctl -l', but actions are not logged. any idea ?
[20:44] <tsimpson> mena: from the information you have given, no one, other than your account, has logged in to your system
[20:44] <mattbd> mena: That means that to log in someone would have to be physically at your computer
[20:45] <emilos> and nothing i try works, ubuntu says its already mounted but i cant see it ; only in disk utility
[20:45] <mattbd> mena: If neither Telnet nor SSH are running, that's the only way someone is likely to gain access
[20:45] <mena> mattbd : such as ?
[20:45] <ubuntu__> Hey, everyone! I'm trying to set up a dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 BUT .. I can not create a new partition since it would be the 5th primary one. What can I do ?
[20:45] <llutz> mattbd: nope, there are vnc, rdp, desktop-sharing
[20:46] <trism> tsimpson,mattbd: mena's problem was with VNC (Gnome Remote Desktop specifically), but since vino doesn't log connections yet, probably out of luck (although I still think ~/.cache/notify-osd.log may have something)
[20:46] <ZenMasta> ubuntu__ install inside of windows using wubi or use virtual box
[20:46] <mena> trism : command plz?
[20:46] <mattbd> trism: Oops, forgot VNC
[20:47] <tsimpson> mena: did you install a VNC server?
[20:47] <Jeruvy> ubuntu__: make the fifth partition extended.
[20:47] <meLon> I have multiple pc's on a LAN.  They all have their own hostnames.  Is there a way to reference these machines by their hostnames?  I think I've done it before.  Is it NetBios? O_o
[20:47] <ubuntu__> Jeruvy: how ? When I click New, it throws an error and doesn't allow to continue ..
[20:47] <mena> tsimson : which VNC this?
[20:47] <trism> mena: gedit ~/.cache/notify-osd.log and look for lines that have the subject "Someone is controlling your desktop" or something like that...may not be logged but it was when I used it
[20:47] <llutz> mena: /etc/hosts or better use a dns-server
[20:47] <Jeruvy> ubuntu__: you need to remove the 4th primary partition, then create the extended..then recreate the primary
[20:48] <tsimpson> mena something to share your desktop over the network or internet
[20:48] <mattbd> mena:VNC is similar to Windows Remote Desktop, but is cross-platform
[20:48] <mena> i don't know but i have teamviewer
[20:48] <ubuntu__> Jeruvy: oh, my .. well, that's somehow clear but the thing is .. I don't have a backup drive for my main Windows partition ( I don't want to mess with Recovery and Tools ).
[20:49] <Jeruvy> ubuntu__: that may be a show stopper.
[20:49] <mena> mattbd : how can i know if my com has VNC ther or no?
[20:49] <rvn> i popped in a usb flash drive with live ubuntu 10.10 (from the installer iso) to install onto my main box, and it doesn't recognize my network card - i've got a p43-es3g by gigabyte.. typically i find ubuntu has the drivers for all common wired and wireless interfaces, but i also have a wmp54g linksys pci card and it doesn't even see that!
[20:49] <rvn> any idea?
[20:49] <rvn> (i stated motherboard because it's an onboard netcard)
[20:50] <magicianlord> Good day, sirs.
[20:50] <ubuntu__> Jeruvy: ok, thank you - I'll see what I can do.
[20:50] <ubuntu__> exit
[20:50] <Jinxed--> Does anyone know why something would run find in shell but segfaults when it is run with crontab or rc.local?
[20:50] <rvn> Jinxed--: it hates you
[20:51] <mena> mattbd : i have teamviewer here in my com but how can i know if my com has VNC or not?
[20:51] <guntbert> rvn: don't make stupid comments
[20:51] <mattbd> mena: What I just read suggests that teamviewer isn't a VNC client, but is something similar
[20:51] <Jinxed--> rvn, seems the most likely explanation at this point... i have been working on this for about 8 hours
[20:51] <guntbert> Jinxed--: might be a question of search paths or environment settings
[20:51] <rvn> Jinxed--: what kind of "something" is it anywho
[20:51] <rvn> Jinxed--:  a script, a program..?
[20:51] <mattbd> mena:Also, Wikipedia suggests that it's not very secure
[20:51] <mena> mattbd : www.teamviewer.com
[20:51] <rvn> i popped in a usb flash drive with live ubuntu 10.10 (from the installer iso) to install onto my main box, and it doesn't recognize my network card - i've got a p43-es3g by gigabyte.. typically i find ubuntu has the drivers for all common wired and wireless interfaces, but i also have a wmp54g linksys pci card and it doesn't even see that!
[20:52] <rvn> any idea?
[20:52] <rvn> (repeating question due to apparent netsplit while i asked first)
[20:52] <Jinxed--> guntbert, I thought so too especially since it would segfault when I ran it with env -
[20:52] <mena> mattbad : okay
[20:52] <birrbert> good evening. I would like to do some port forwarding on my Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Server. I'd like to forward port 6112 to 6119 to computer with LAN IP <IP_ADDRESS>. how can I do that?
[20:52] <Jinxed--> guntbert, rvn but I manually set the $PATH and $TERM in my script now and it still segfaults
[20:53] <th0r> birrbert: iptables
[20:53] <mena> mattbd : now how can i know is ther VNC in computer or not?
[20:53] <mattbd> mena: TBH, I doubt very many people will have used that because there are so many free alternatives in the Ubuntu repositories
[20:53] <birrbert> th0r, OK, but could you please give me an example?
[20:53] <rvn> clearly nobody has the vaguest clue how to help me
[20:53] <Jeruvy> birrbert: http://portforward.com/
[20:53] <magicianlord> rvn: clearly
[20:53] <rvn> i guess i'll just wipe my windows install and hope ubuntu doesn't fuck me over
[20:53] <rvn> -_-
[20:53] <kaiowas> hello
[20:54] <Jinxed--> rvn it is a script that calls a program
[20:54] <mattbd> mena: VNC is one way to connect to someone's desktop remotely, this Teamviewer appears to be an application that does the same thing
[20:54] <birrbert> Jeruvy, that site is only for router, isn't it?
[20:54] <emilos> how do i reset the fstab file?
[20:55] <birrbert> th0r, I tried this:
[20:55] <birrbert> iptables -A FORWARD -s 0/0 -i eth0 -d <IP_ADDRESS> -o br0 -p TCP --sport 48154 --dport 48154 -j ACCEPT
[20:55] <Ddorda> !clone
[20:55] <ShaunR> is there a group install option for apt? simular to yum's?  I would like to install the x window system with gnone.
[20:55] <birrbert> for my torrent download. but it's not working
[20:55] <mattbd> mena: However, the Ubuntu repositories already have a number of other apps that do the same thing
[20:55] <queso> Does aptitude honor the order of the packages you specify?  e.g., sudo aptitude install package1 package2
[20:55] <Jeruvy> birrbert: as far as I know.
[20:56] <mattbd> ShaunR:There are metapackages that will pull in a load of other dependencies, is that the kind of thing you're after?
[20:56] <Zelozelos> whats the ubuntu coders room #?
[20:56] <ShaunR> Mattdb: dont know, with centos/yum i can simple do `yum groupinstall "Gnome Desktop Enviorment"`
[20:56] <birrbert> so I tried to setup port forward for torrent dl, but I also tried for port 6112-6119. could anybody please tell me what am I doing wrong?
[20:56] <mena> mattbd: is there another way to find if someone coonect desktop remotly to my computer
[20:56] <ShaunR> and it will install all the packages needed for it
[20:57] <rcmaehl> HAPPY PI DAY #ubuntu :D now is there anyway to make my computer run espeak "Happy PI Day" every march 14?
[20:57] <kaiowas> i just installed ubuntu for the first time... so im just wondering, is it the ubuntu website i check out for tips or are there any other good webpage?
[20:57] <lahwran> scp [user@host:directory/] . -r << gives me "-r: No such file or directory" - it says it understands -r, but it won't work ..
[20:57] <Jinxed--> Zelozelos, maybe you want #ubuntu-kernel
[20:57] <mattbd> ShaunR: Yes, it's just a matter of finding the appropriate metapackage. For instance, kubuntu-desktop to install the Kubuntu desktop
[20:58] <ShaunR> so i do what, apt-get install kubuntu-destop?
[20:58] <mattbd> mena: If you're using Teamviewer, that seems the mo
[20:58] <mattbd> mena: If you're using Teamviewer, that seems the most likely place to start
[20:58] <Zelozelos> Jinxed--, dts im looking for help with gwinwrap n getting it to play video again. it seems the prob is with the -wid option
[20:58] <panfist> wc
[20:58] <mena> mattbd : may be i will not use it again
[20:59] <mattbd> mena: I'm not familiar with it so I can only suggest looking closely at the application to find out if it logs connections
[20:59] <Jinxed--> Zelozelos, I'm no help to you there
[20:59] <mattbd> ShaunR: Basically, yes, just need to use sudo as well
[20:59] <mena> matbad  i have another problem with log file viewer that has error "The file is not a regular file or is not a text file."
[20:59] <adsfasdfa> how can i fill up a drive really quickly, dd is too slow
[21:00] <mattbd> mena: What command did you run to generate that error?
[21:01] <mena> mattbd : System-> administration> log file Viewer
[21:01] <mattbd> mena: And what log file was it?
[21:01] <hylian> how do i set ubuntu to boot verbose instead of graphical, i want to see those messages....?
[21:02] <mena> mattbd : what?
[21:02] <guntbert> hylian: add     noquiet nosplash        to the boot line
[21:02] <larious> anyone in the room, I have ssh that I operate with putty and I believe that I can operate the graphical environment, I need to learn more about vnc, can someone tell me if I disconnect my server will it be continue working when I am offline ( Something Like RDP)
[21:02] <lojack> Hello all.  Can anyone offer any hints for preventing swap partition from being automatically mounted at boot???  Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
[21:03] <lucubrate> --help-all
[21:03] <ZenMasta> I need help with a cron job. I was copying this script to backup mysql and one of the lines is "ROTATE = 8" When I run the script I get this error ./mysqlbackup.sh: 10: ROTATE: not found
[21:03] <mattbd> mena: What log file were you using the log file viewer to look at? They're listed on the left
[21:03] <llutz> lojack: remove it from /etc/fstab. but why would one want tthat?
[21:03] <chipnt> hi everyone. Im not root. how can i see in ssh (putty) what the domain name assigned to my ssh user using apache.
[21:03] <hylian> guntbert, i can do that! thanks!
[21:03] <llutz> ZenMasta: no spaces ROTATE=8
[21:03] <lojack> Adding noswap as boot parameter to grub doesn't work.
[21:03] <larious> anyone in the room, I have ssh that I operate with putty and I believe that I can operate the graphical environment, I need to learn more about vnc, can someone tell me if I disconnect my server will it be continue working when I am offline ( Something Like RDP)

[21:04] <ZenMasta> llutz thanks! :)
[21:04] <mena> matbd : all of them have the same error
[21:04] <mattbd> chipnt: I think hostname -f should do it - works on my Debian home server with an FQDN
[21:04] <lojack> llutz: I'm building a liveCD so fstab us being built on the fly -- so to speak.
[21:04] <larious> anyone in the room, I have ssh that I operate with putty and I believe that I can operate the graphical environment, I need to learn more about vnc, can someone tell me if I disconnect my server will it be continue working when I am offline ( Something Like RDP)
[21:04] <th0r> larious: I was going to answer, but 30 seconds isn't enough time
[21:04] <chipnt> MattB: it show me the username inolam-web wich is the root name install
[21:04] <chipnt> it doesnt
[21:05] <chipnt> :)
[21:05] <larious> th0r: just need a hint
[21:05] <Jinxed-> Why would a script work fine when run in terminal but segfault when run with rc.local or crontab?
[21:05] <mattbd> mena: That suggests to me that there's something wrong with the application, not the log files
[21:05] <larious> th0r: a hint can help me
[21:05] <hylian> exit

[21:05] <Jinxed-> and more importantly how to i get a script to run with root at startup
[21:05] <joshmclvl1> larious: a hint would be 'gnu screen' ;)
[21:05] <guntbert> larious: stop repeating!
[21:05] <RubenAlonzo> Greetings everyone, does anyone know when the next version of ubuntu is out please? i really dislike the unity dock tab that is always present in 10.10
[21:05] <RubenAlonzo> the one on the left
[21:06] <larious> joshmc1vl1: So tell me can it work like RDP ?
[21:06] <shlm> hello
[21:06] <shlm> there
[21:06] <mattbd> chipnt: OK, can you view /etc/hosts at all?
[21:06] <shlm> how to identify :   => There are 2 zombie processes.
[21:06] <larious> anyone in the room, I have ssh that I operate with putty and I believe that I can operate the graphical environment, I need to learn more about vnc, can someone tell me if I disconnect my server will it be continue working when I am offline ( Something Like RDP)
[21:07] <root__> slm
[21:07] <guntbert> shlm: don't worry about zombie processes, they don't use any ressources
[21:07] <shlm> how to identify :  supposedly of ubuntu :   => There are 2 zombie processes.
[21:07] <llutz> !repeat| larious
[21:07] <andruHA1123> i anyone know how i can check this: "•	Make a list of all the services and daemons that are started up when your system has booted."
[21:07] <shlm> i have to worry about
[21:07] <joshmclvl1> larious: I haven't really used rdp =s but it's a fake-terminal program you can use to start a program and 'detach' it and then close your connection, then when you reconnect you can 'reattach' it to get back to your session
[21:07] <RubenAlonzo> brb
[21:07] <joshmclvl1> larious: 'it' being 'screen'
[21:08] <larious> you are right
[21:08] <larious> and that is ok thanks Good night
[21:08] <joshmclvl1> larious: ok! take care!
[21:09] <shlm> of course i have to worry about it , i need to correct the solution on how to remove that supposedly of ubuntu zombie processes, not want any bypass solution
[21:09] <mena> matbd : Are you here?
[21:09] <mattbd> mena:Yes
[21:09] <guntbert> shlm: they are no problem at all
[21:09] <shlm> what's that ? why it that error ? what's going wrong on my system ?
[21:09] <mena> mattbd : are you see my problem?
[21:09] <andruHA1123> how do i list all the services and daemons that are started up when the system has booted?
[21:10] <Jasonn> andruHA1123: top
[21:10] <llutz> shlm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process
[21:10] <shlm> of course it should an error, why my other sytem don't have that error ? & why  i got that error on my system ?
[21:10] <Yoinx> shlm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zombie_process
[21:10] <genii-around> andruHA1123: initctl list          also
[21:11] <andruHA1123> genii-around, ty, thats what i was looking for
[21:11] <mattbd> mena:Yes, and I would suggest that it's more likely to be a problem with the log file viewer app itself than the log files. Try viewing them using less from the command line instead
[21:11] <mena> matbd : how?
[21:13] <mattbd> mena: Just enter less followed by the full path to the log file in question, such as less /var/log/apache2/error.log to view the error log for Apache, for instance
[21:13] <mattbd> mena: So the messages file you were looking at earlier would be less /var/log/messages
[21:13] <Yushatak> i installed ubuntu 10.10 x64, and my wired and wireless network cards both don't work - the wired shows up in the network devices applet and ifconfig, the wireless just is missing, and i had to plug in a usb NIC just to get on here
[21:13] <andruHA1123> genii-around, do you know how would I figure out what kernel loads at startup?
[21:14] <magicianlord> Yushatak: what is your card?
[21:14] <Yushatak> my wired card is a RTL8111, wireless is a RaLink RT2400 (Linksys PCI WMP54G)
[21:14] <mena> mattbd :http://paste.ubuntu.com/580304/
[21:14] <njbair> is there an nvidia driver that will allow me to use compiz other than the proprietary driver?
[21:14] <genii-around> andruHA1123: Possibly in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules   and /etc/modules
[21:15] <joshmclvl1> andruHA1123: check the logs at /var/log/dmesg with your favorite text editor mehbeh?
[21:15] <Yushatak> if i do lspci they both show up
[21:15] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: And what is the first link you get when you google "rlt8111 linux" ?
[21:15] <joshmclvl1> adruHA1123: it has the most current at the top
[21:15] <genii-around> andruHA1123: When they are compiled into kernel though, not sure
[21:15] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: dunno, i was more specific in my searches for "rtl8111 ubuntu" and i got jack shit that was useful -_-
[21:15] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: i'll try that i suppose, see what shows up
[21:15] <andruHA1123> genii-around, k, thanks, i will try that
[21:16] <genii-around> andruHA1123: result of dmesg usually has all the ones it tries as well
[21:16] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: Cause first link I got was "rlt8111 ubuntu drivers download"
[21:16] <h00k> !language | Yushatak
[21:16] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: not me, i got some forum post
[21:17] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: Well the links were bogus anyways.
[21:18] <mena> mattbad : are you see my attack?
[21:18] <andruHA1123> how about this, how would I go about adding a script to start up list that would run at level 4? I'm trying to do this all in terminal (just trying to learn linux a bit)
[21:18] <tsimpson> mena: there is no attack there
[21:18] <guntbert> !runlevel | andruHA1123
[21:19] <Yushatak> i've never seen ubuntu fail to work with a wired network card before, this is so disappointing :(
[21:19] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: http://www.realtek.com.tw/DOWNLOADS/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false looks promising
[21:20] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: i shall try that, but it always feels dirty to have to gather up and install drivers on a *nix machine...
[21:20] <andruHA1123> guntbert, how do i do so that it runs on boot up? via terminal?
[21:20] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: Is it just 8111 or is there a letter after it?
[21:20] <mena> mattbd :http://paste.ubuntu.com/580304/
[21:21] <tortoise7> i am vying for the idiot of the year award.....just spent 2+ hours d/l 10.04.2 with the 10.10 try disk.... torrent finished.... only seed file can be found..... what happened to the full iso?
[21:21] <Yushatak> lspci reports 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)
[21:21] <KucukMubasir> hi, what was the command for querying my hardware specifications? it was along the line of lpac or lpca or lcpa, any ideas?
[21:21] <Yushatak> KucukMubasir: lspci
[21:21] <llutz> mena: why do you paste apache-logs, when having trouble with /var/log/btmp? why didn't you read the forums-thread i linked you earlier?
[21:21] <KucukMubasir> thanks Yushatak
[21:22] <tsimpson> mena: there is no attack there
[21:22] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: Agreed, however atleast Realtek does provide linux drivers.
[21:22] <anfegame> Hi guys, i got a problem i am trying to make my usb mic play live through my speakers, so far no luck, can anyone help me?
[21:22] <Yushatak> these drivers are open source.. why aren't they included? O.o
[21:22] <mena> mattbd no there "http://paste.ubuntu.com/580304/"
[21:22] <mena> ?
[21:22] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: Then again, since the first driver was released in 2007 I am amazed that it's not in stock kernel.
[21:23] <guntbert> andruHA1123: you can add your script to /etc/rc.local
[21:23] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: well ubuntu does seem to have drivers for the card
[21:23] <tsimpson> mena: there is *nothing* there that shows an attack
[21:23] <Yushatak> it just doesn't do anything
[21:23] <mena> okay
[21:23] <mena> hoe can i show to you?
[21:23] <mena> how?
[21:23] <Yushatak> im running updates, after that's done i'll reboot and hope that it magically works
[21:23] <Yushatak> if not then i'll try these
[21:23] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: does lsmod show anything that appears relevant?
[21:23] <Yushatak> dunno
[21:23] <Yushatak> lemme see
[21:24] <anfegame> Hi guys, i got a problem i am trying to make my usb mic play live through my speakers, so far no luck, can anyone help me?
[21:24] <mena> matbad : i read it but i can't uderstand it!!!!
[21:24] <Yushatak> my wireless card that won't show up in the network applet or ifconfig has drivers loaded -_-
[21:24]  * Yushatak keeps looking
[21:24] <guntbert> mena: thats completely normal, freenode checks your host for an open http-proxy
[21:25] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: cat /var/log/dmesg|grep eth
[21:26] <llutz> dmesg|grep eth        useless cat
[21:26] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: says the link is down
[21:26] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: it initialized the card, then it said the link is down, then it said it's not ready
[21:26] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: what does /etc/network/interfaces say?
[21:26] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: i read something about windows not shutting these cards down right
[21:26] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: Did you power the computer off or did you just do a soft reboot?
[21:26] <Yushatak> BlueEagle: it omits any reference to eth0
[21:26] <Yushatak> soft reboot
[21:27] <mena> guntberl : plz what're you mean?
[21:27] <anfegame> Hi guys, i got a problem i am trying to make my usb mic play live through my speakers, so far no luck, can anyone help me?
[21:27] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: You may want to add eth0 to the interfaces then I guess.
[21:27] <samuelvasy> Does anybody know, that is there any way to replace Vino with some better VNC-server (faster)? It's still necessary to have ability to use it with Empathy "Share desktop" feature
[21:27] <tortoise7> why does 10.10 hang at the flashing cursor on a FRESH install ?????  10.10 amd/64
[21:27] <guntbert> !tab | mena
[21:27] <BlueEagle> Yushatak: unless something else is handling the network interfaces that is.
[21:28] <guntbert> mena: I was referring to the pastebin you showed us
[21:28] <blkdg> hi, anyone able to increse the size of gsoko, the sokoban clone?
[21:28] <mena> ok
[21:28] <mena> http://paste.ubuntu.com/580309/
[21:29] <mena> oh i must leave now and continue on another time?
[21:29] <mena> ok
[21:29] <Jeruvy> samuelvasy: x11vnc is powerful but more complex to setup.  good documentation for it.
[21:30] <samuelvasy> Jeruvy: Yes, but can it be integrated with Empathy?
[21:30] <guntbert> mena: there is nothing to continue - believe me
[21:31] <mena> guntbert : okay...what i do now?
[21:31] <anfegame> Hi guys, i got a problem i am trying to make my usb mic play live through my speakers, so far no luck, can anyone help me?
[21:31] <Jeruvy> samuelvasy: couldn't say.  What would you need to integrate?
[21:31] <guntbert> mena: nothing - no need to do anything - the log is perfectly normal
[21:32] <mena> guntbert: then why this error appear ?
[21:32] <mena> it is still now
[21:32] <llutz> mena: it seems you cannot find out who connected to your machine. check the setup, stop all services not needed to make sure it won't happen again
[21:32] <llutz> mena: why do you paste apache-logs, when having trouble with /var/log/btmp? why didn't you read the forums-thread i linked you earlier?
[21:32] <tortoise7> why does a fresh install of 10.10 amd64 hang at the cursor on boot....??
[21:33] <mena> okay , can i leave no to sleep i need it now?
[21:33] <mena> okay
[21:33] <samuelvasy> Jeruvy: Basically, it's easy way to get remote support feature which can bypass firewalls.
[21:33]  * llutz smells a troll and leaves
[21:33] <guntbert> mena: this is no error, you are running a web server and the freenode proxy checker checks if you are running an open web proxy too, which is obviously not the case - so relax - no reason to worry
[21:33] <anfegame> Hi guys, i got a problem i am trying to make my usb mic play live through my speakers, so far no luck, can anyone help me?

[21:35] <samuelvasy> Jeruvy: It works with Vino, but its very slow and there ain't possibility to use compression etc (or I havent found)
[21:37] <Jeruvy> samuelvasy:  Interesting.  I've never used Empathy.
[21:37] <tortoise7> i would really like to have all these other problems that folks get solutions to, unfortunately, i am unable to get past the hanging cursor on bootup....solution to that, Please
[21:37] <Obituary37> hi
[21:38] <PastorEd> Hello, everyone!
[21:39] <PastorEd> I am trying to get a bash script to work with the Thunar file manager. Specifically, I'm trying to send a file via FTP when I right click on it.
[21:39] <shlm> hello there
[21:40] <shlm> is it easy to change kernel ?
[21:40] <PastorEd> I know how do add "custom commands" in Thunar, but for some reason, the script will only run correctly in a terminal... I cannot get it to run from the file-manager. Any thoughts?
[21:40] <seme> hi guys... can anyone give me a hand.. for some reason ubuntu won't boot and just drops me into busybox... looks like my xfs partition has been unmounted wrong and the fs needs to be fsck'd but I can't figure out how to do it since I don't have any xfs fsck utils
[21:40] <PastorEd> seme: have you tried rebooting, and selecting the "failsafe" option?
[21:40] <seme> yeah
[21:41] <seme> same thing
[21:41] <PastorEd> seme: hmm. Do you have a LiveCD handy? You could boot using that, and then fsck the unmounted drive.
[21:41] <seme> aah
[21:41] <seme> good idea
[21:41] <seme> thanks let me try that
[21:42] <PastorEd> seme: no problem. Just make sure that the partition you want to fsck is not mounted, and you should be able to check it, no problem, using the LiveCD.
[21:42] <tortoise7> what is the trick to getting the recovery option to work?  10.10  amd64
[21:43] <PastorEd> tortoise7: hmm... what do you mean 'recovery option'?
[21:43] <blkdg> is there a sokoban game in the app store that isn't formatted for tiny screens?
[21:44] <DJones> tortoise7: During boot up, you can press the left shift key to get to the grub menu and from that, there is the recovery/root access option
[21:44] <PastorEd> blkdg: do you mean for Ubuntu? Try xsok, available in Synaptic.
[21:44] <tortoise7> Pastored, at grub i am offered 2 choices.... the kernel and recovery.... either of them hang at a blinking cursor.... no further booting into a fresh install
[21:45] <tortoise7> PastorEd, the grub comes up automatically for me..
[21:45] <blkdg> thanks PastorEd . the one that shows up in the app store is tiny.
[21:45] <blkdg> thanks again
[21:46] <PastorEd> tortoise7: hmm, I don't think I can help, other than to suggest booting with a LiveCD, and seeing if you can check your grub2 install that way...
[21:46] <PastorEd> I know how do add "custom commands" in Thunar, but for some reason, the script will only run correctly in a terminal... I cannot get it to run from the file-manager. Any thoughts?
[21:46] <PastorEd> whoops... let me try again:
[21:46] <tortoise7> well, that is the thing..... the live cd will not boot either....it hangs as well.... i have been unabe\ ,/n9\
[21:47] <PastorEd> I'm trying to run a bash script from a file-manager, but it only wants to run from a terminal. Any thoughts?
[21:47] <rohdef> how do I change the .local part of my host/domain name (in the console)
[21:48] <PastorEd> rohdef: you mean like user@laptop?
[21:49] <rohdef> PastorEd, if you run hostname -A you'll see the full name, which would usually be laptop.local in your example
[21:49] <PastorEd> gotta go...
[21:49] <rohdef> lol
[21:51] <valros> How would I simulate a keytype with a terminal command?
[21:52] <ohzie> Anyone know of a linux tool that can be used to extract the contents of a windows bkf file?
[21:53] <trism> valros: install xdotool and use: xdotool key key_combination; like xdotool key F2; xdotool key ctrl+j
[21:53] <valros> k

[22:07] <Kevin1a> I just downloaded the latest Natty Narwhal to test it out before it's released.  I used the alternative torrent download, and I want to keep seeding it even after I upgrade.  I'm upgrading with the CD rather than just using the terminal for a few reasons.  What folder did transmission put the torrent for natty in?  I just hit "open with" in Firefox download prompt
[22:07] <The_Wanderer_> hi guys, i have a iso image that is of the "file" type "data". can someone point me how to extract it?
[22:08] <skullboy> Alex : i know but whats the part after the hyphen
[22:08] <trism> Kevin1a: in Transmission, Edit/Preferences and look at Save to Location:
[22:08] <mr_orange_> anyone here use Xilinx on an Ubuntu and no how to install it?

[22:09] <FloodBot2> dimt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:10] <The_Wanderer_> larious, no i need to mount it so can can play the game on wine, but mount doesnt work since the iso file type is data and mount command doesnt recognise file type
[22:10] <trism> Kevin1a: oh, do you mean the actual .torrent file? I'm not sure, misunderstood
[22:10] <guf_> alex, software centre is open, but i cant find ubuntu restricted extras
[22:11] <Kevin1a> yes, the actual .torrent file
[22:11] <trism> Kevin1a: looks like those are saved to ~/.config/transmission/torrents/
[22:11] <mr_orange_> anyone here use Xilinx on Ubuntu and know how to install it? I have downloaded it and untar the file but after that i don't know what to do next.
[22:12] <The_Wanderer_> larious, i tried the dd command, but it doesnt take a directory as a parameter for "of=" and when i give a file (of=ld.iso) it just copies the whole d**n file without extracting it
[22:12] <Kevin1a> OK, thanks.  When I've upgraded now I can just put the iso for natty back in my downloads folder and keep seeding it.
[22:12] <skullboy> Alex : i know but whats the part after the hyphen
[22:13] <guf_> hi, can anyone here help me out with flash problems? I'm very much a beginner, i'm afraid to admit.
[22:13] <The_Wanderer_> guf_, whats the problem
[22:14] <mjs> hi all...having problems joining a windows domain and active directory...
[22:14] <guf_> well, flash content does not show. I don't know if youtube is flash also, because those movies i can see.
[22:15] <guf_> wanderer: well, flash content does not show. I don't know if youtube is flash also, because those movies i can see
[22:15] <mjs> got a pretty straightforward guide that does not use centrify express or likewise-open, from noremose1, but when i modify my /etc/resolv.conf file, and then reconnect, network manager has overwritten the file...
[22:15] <Yoinx> youtube is flash, last I knew... Maybe the player for the site isn't working for you guf
[22:16] <kbrosnan> Kevin1a: /tmp for the .torrent file
[22:16] <linxeh> youtube can do HTML5 too
[22:16] <guf_> Yoinx: well, strange thing is that all youtube works, but most other flash content does not. any ideas about that?
[22:16] <The_Wanderer_> hi guys, i have a iso image that is of the "file" type "data". can someone point me how to extract it?
[22:17] <Yoinx> no idea guf_ try flashid in firefox, and see if that helps any
[22:17] <The_Wanderer_> guf_, what other sites dont seem to work?
[22:17] <guf_> fYoinx: flashid is software? i'll search it....
[22:17] <mr_orange_> anyone here use Xilinx on Ubuntu and know how to install it? I have downloaded it and untarred the file and after that i try to run xsetup but it tells me that the command is not found.
[22:17] <skullboy> Alex : i know but whats the part after the hyphen
[22:18] <Yoinx> it's an addon for firefox. I could've sworn firefox came with it when I installed 10.10
[22:18] <skullboy> Alex : i know but whats the part after the hyphen
[22:18] <Guest33361> aaaaaaa
[22:18] <Kevin1a> kbrosnan, trism already found it ~/.config/transmission/torrents  Thanks for the help guys, my problem is solved.  Now I can play with natty but I won't feel bad because I didn't seed to 1.0 :D
[22:18] <skullboy> someone explain this line mode "1024x768-76"
[22:18] <Guest33361> thanx
[22:19] <Yoinx> skull, it's a bit random out of context... but I would assume the 76 is refresh rate
[22:20] <guf_> wanderer: well, it's all moviestuff. but most important it is an aplication from my company. it is very new and not online yet, but it works for all other browser/OS combinations.
[22:21] <The_Wanderer_> hi guys, i have a iso image that is of the "file" type "data". can someone point me how to extract it?

[22:23] <mr_orange_> hi guys, I am trying to install Xilinx on my Ubuntu 10.10 laptop and after I download the file and untar it I try to run the xsetup file but it tells me 'command not found' am I doing something wrong or is there a command i need to run before running xsetup?
[22:24] <xangua> mr_orange_: read the readme file¿¿ :S
[22:25] <Yoinx> try ./xsetup /
[22:25] <The_Wanderer_> milamber, i know how to moutn iso images, when i try to mount the iso i have i get the following error "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,"
[22:25] <Yoinx> and make sure it's executable
[22:25] <mr_orange_> xangua, i cant find a readme
[22:25] <makulkar_> how to GDB to a process started by the process I'm debugging?
[22:25] <milamber> The_Wanderer_: what iso is it?
[22:25] <Yoinx> wanderer, is it a .bin/.cue image?
[22:26] <cesurasean> Is there an application in apt-get that I can install on 10.10 which enables me to edit grub2's config?
[22:26] <Yoinx> depends what you want to edit.
[22:26] <tonu> cesurasean: text editor does ?
[22:26] <The_Wanderer_> milamber, diablo 2 expansion pack. i was able to install the rest of the game from other iso, but i am having trouble mounting the expansion as mount doesnt recognize the isofs type
[22:27] <Yoinx> System > Administration > StartUp-Manager lets you change basic options
[22:27] <The_Wanderer_> Yoinx, no its a .iso file, "file lod.iso" gives output as "data"
[22:28] <zvacet> cesurasean : alt+f2 and type gksudo nautilus
[22:29] <Yoinx> maybe it's damaged?
[22:29] <The_Wanderer_> larious, i tried the dd command, but it doesnt take a directory as a parameter for "of=" and when i give a file (of=ld.iso) it just copies the whole d**n file without extracting it
[22:29] <cesurasean> is there another way to edit grub2?
[22:29] <cesurasean> can i install grubed from apt-get?
[22:30] <Yoinx> ces, just run synaptic, and look around for things with "grub" as the search.
[22:30] <iflema> cesurasean: to remove safe mode andmemtest entries use   /etc/default/grub   to change order use user the files in   /etc/grub.d/    like 40_custom  (after ubuntu entries) and even create a similar fuile to 40_custom but numbered lower e.g. 06_custom (before ubuntu entires) and possibly knock out os_prober
[22:30] <zvacet> cesurasean : I think it is not recommended to edit that file what are you trying to do
[22:31] <cosmo> I tried bookmarks in nautilus and it tries to add the whole drive, I have video, audio and documents stored in folders on other drives in categories and sub-categories in win 7 I could just add them to library folders in explorer without having to copy them to the main drive this made accessing them convenient and I was hoping to do the same in ubuntu but not sure how (would like to have links to them in the home folder where it already has cat
[22:31] <cosmo> egories like documents, music, video, etc.) any ideas or suggestions?
[22:31] <trism> makulkar_: if you have the pid you can attach to the process with: gdb --pid pid;
[22:31] <iflema> cesurasean: or unisntall grub2 and install grub and pin the version
[22:31] <makulkar_> trism, I do not.. because it will be laucnhed by the process i'm debugging
[22:32] <makulkar_> trism, as soon as the second process launches, it crashes :( so need to check where
[22:33] <grom> heya
[22:33] <grom> is there a special channel for newb questions?
[22:33] <Yoinx> Yeah grom, it's #ubuntu :p
[22:34] <grom> :)
[22:34] <trism> makulkar_: I don't know, might try ##c or #gdb
[22:34] <grom> i dont know how to run chrome from terminal...
[22:34] <makulkar_> trism, Ok no problem. thanks
[22:34] <xangua> type chrome¿
[22:34] <grom> chrome and what is that char?
[22:35] <grom> ¿
[22:35] <overclucker> grom: chrome<tab><tab>
[22:35] <deetz_> oh
[22:35] <grom> i dont get anything if double press tab
[22:36] <Yoinx> me either grom, dont feel bad
[22:36] <Sokini_> Hey! Am i connceted?
[22:36] <grom> looks like it sokini :)
[22:36] <Sokini_> *connected
[22:36] <overclucker> grom: hmm, tab twice usually tells you commands that start with chrome
[22:37] <trism> grom: if you installed it from the repos: chromium-browser; otherwise it think it is called: google-chrome;
[22:37] <Sokini_> Greit! So my driver works!
[22:37] <grom> yeah, thats what i thought, but obviously command for running it is something else then name of the app
[22:37] <seme> when I try to mount my xfs partition it says mount: Structure needs cleaning... fsck doesn't work on xfs partitions apparently
[22:37] <Yoinx> its google-chrome
[22:37] <Yoinx> not just chrome
[22:37] <seme> any idea how to clean the structure :)
[22:37] <grom> it is.. thanx :)
[22:37] <Yoinx> you can find it in /usr/bin
[22:37] <Sokini_> I'm on an Archos 101 IT
[22:38] <grom> another thing i wanted to ask is, if i want to run an app and stil lwant to continue using terminal in the background i need to use application&
[22:38] <hiexpo> hmm
[22:38] <grom> if i forgot the &, how can i free the terminal from it?
[22:38] <overclucker> grom: ctrl-z, then type bg
[22:38] <Sokini_> And i just managed to make wifi work from ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition
[22:39] <grom> i see, thanks
[22:39] <grom> what could be the use of still having terminal occupied with it?
[22:40] <Yoinx> debugging
[22:40] <Stryker> where is the trash located
[22:40] <Sokini_> I'm using Andchat,which is an android irc client,built from sources... because ubuntu UI is not really adapted to a 10" tablet..
[22:40] <overclucker> grom: access to stdout, stderr, and stdin
[22:41] <grom> didnt think of that :)
[22:41] <grom> see, i just left the windows ship
[22:41] <robin273>  i need help with installing stuff, i get this when i try to sudo apt-get install anything: http://mibpaste.com/Nm2bW1

[22:42] <Sokini_> Night!
[22:42] <Yoinx> Keep in mind, windows is built on/for a graphical UI. Linux has one, but could be used pretty much the same without it. (this is why the program hook terminal.)

[22:50] <Edlyness> Hello, everyone. I need some help getting my file manager to correctly run a bash script. Any takers?
[22:51] <Yoinx> robin, try launching synaptic... it should prompt you about broken packages (I think) see if it can fix that
[22:51] <Yoinx> edly, set it to exectuable?
[22:51] <robin273> Yoinx, also, if it matters, i'm on an Asus K52 series laptop, which took a bit of meddling to get some things to work
[22:51] <Yoinx> nah robin, doesnt really matter... the error your're getting is a build fail for a sound driver.
[22:52] <Edlyness> Yoinx: it's already set as executable. In fact, the script works perfectly in a terminal... but it won't run when selected from a file manager.
[22:52] <Yoinx> which just means that apt-get keeps trying to build it because it failed in the past
[22:52] <Yoinx> weird edly
[22:52] <monkeyD> hey guys, I want to change the longin name and my home foldername and the command is:
[22:52] <monkeyD> sudo usermod -l <new_username> -d </home/new_username> -m <old_username>
[22:52] <monkeyD> my question is where does linux know which userlogin I want to change because -m is optional
[22:53] <Edlyness> Hmm... is there a more advanced Ubuntu help channel?
[22:54] <Yoinx> edly, for something like that?  Probably #bash ? (just off the top of my head)
[22:54] <monkeyD> hey guys, anyone who can help ?
[22:55] <Edlyness> Question (reposted): I have a bash script which works in a terminal, but does NOT work when accessed from Thunar file manager. Can anyone help with this?
[22:55] <Yoinx> I'm surprised it wouldnt prompt you that it's executable... with options (nautilus does)
[22:55] <robin273> Yoinx, synaptic did not prompt me about anything. Also, it was a while ago, so I don't remember some details, but i vaguely remember meddling with alsa something to get some things related to sound to work.
[22:55] <zvacet> monkeyD : I can only guess but maybe from <old_username>
[22:55] <Edlyness> yoinx: ah... a very good idea! I will check to see if that channel can help.
[22:55] <[deXter]> Hi all, I've set up the sudoers file according to the examples with NOPASSWD but still when I try to run the program it prompts for a password. Can someone help? thanks.
[22:55] <Yoinx> yeah robnin, im not sure.
[22:56] <Yoinx> edly, they wont be able to help im sure.
[22:56] <Yoinx> http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/faq
[22:56] <Yoinx> thunar doesnt run scripts.
[22:56] <Edlyness> Yoinx: it's definitely executable. It's a bash script that needs a variable supplied from the file manager... when I type it in manually in a terminal, it works great. But I can't seem to pass the variable from the file manager to the script.
[22:57] <Ampelbein> monkeyD: the LOGIN is a required argument, see 'man usermod'.
[22:57] <monkeyD> zvacet: did is the same that I thought but -m is optional
[22:58] <Yoinx> unless im reading that FAQ wrong edly

[22:58] <Ampelbein> monkeyD: yes, '-m' is optional. but you have to supply a LOGIN. '-m' just tells usermod to move homedirs.
[22:59] <Edlyness> LittleRed: which version of Linux are you running? I might be able to help with that...
[22:59] <JJMalina> can anyone help troubleshoot a file permissions issue?
[22:59] <awesomenickname_> hi
[23:00] <Edlyness> Yoinx: I think you've found it... !
[23:00] <LittleRed> Edlyness: Ubuntu 10.10
[23:00] <JJMalina> anytime a user uploads via sftp, the permission is read only for group members, cant figure out how to change this to be rw
[23:01] <zvacet> [deXter] : read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1132821&highlight=sudoers+file ans see if it helps
[23:01] <[deXter]> zvacet: Thanks, checking it out now.
[23:02] <Ampelbein> JJMalina: check that the umask is set correctly
[23:02] <Edlyness> LittleRed: Okay, you are trying to get your multimedia keys to work, right?
[23:03] <[deXter]> zvacet: Thanks but it didn't help a bit.
[23:03] <FloridaGuy> how do i boot ubuntu 10.10 to init 3 .....cant find inittab
[23:03] <JJMalina> which file should I be checking in?
[23:03] <LittleRed> Edlyness: it's an actual media bar like a touch pad... I tried the key set up already...
[23:03] <Vegas_HP> hey guys I have 2 harderives in the computer i installed xubuntu 10.10 on how do i format the other drive in order to use it
[23:04] <Edlyness> LittleRed: have you tried xev, to detect if it's being seen correctly?
[23:04] <Ampelbein> [deXter]: can you pastebin the sudoers file?
[23:04] <JJMalina> Ampelbein: where is umask supposed to be set?
[23:04] <[deXter]> Ampelbein: It's just a single like that I added, OK if I paste it in here?
[23:04] <[deXter]> *line
[23:04] <Ampelbein> JJMalina: usually where your sftp-server is started
[23:04] <Ampelbein> [deXter]: would be better to see context around the line
[23:05] <LittleRed> no, haven't tried that yet... can you please give me the command so I can try it
[23:05] <DystaN> how can I take the initial sound of ubuntu login ?
[23:05] <Edlyness> LittleRed: xev
[23:05] <FloridaGuy> how do i boot ubuntu 10.10 to init 3 .....cant find inittab ???
[23:06] <[deXter]> Ampelbein: http://pastie.org/1672260
[23:06] <Edlyness> LittleRed: specifically, you'll want to run 'xev' from a terminal, so you can see if your media bar is sending any commands.
[23:06] <Ampelbein> FloridaGuy: ubuntu doesn't use runlevel 3.
[23:06] <FloridaGuy> Ampelbein, how do i boot into cli
[23:06] <LittleRed> Edlyness: pages of info
[23:07] <Ampelbein> [deXter]: my guess would be that your permissions get overridden, it's 'last hit counts', so the '%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL' overwrites your NOPASSWD bit.
[23:07] <Edlyness> LittleRed: yep, it generates a LOT of data...!
[23:08] <Ampelbein> FloridaGuy: hold shift at system start, choose recovery.
[23:08] <[deXter]> Ampelbein: Ah, will try it out just a sec.
[23:08] <FloridaGuy> ok
[23:08] <needlez> hi how can i create a file that can be modified by a script that is ran by my user but so that only root can modify it?? but all other can see it ?? i know its chmod but not sure what parameter
[23:08] <chibihogoshino> whats the option to foreword a x app with ssh ?
[23:08] <Edlyness> LittleRed: you're going to look for the "keycode" info... that tells you which button has been pressed.
[23:09] <ekoore> hi to all
[23:09] <ekoore> is possible disable the gpe11 in the kernel?
[23:09] <[deXter]> Ampelbein: No go, it's still prompting for password.
[23:09] <mrbrdo> hello.. i seem to have had a disk failure... now when i reboot, grub enters "minimal" mode.. what does this mean about the disk? grub is still on the disk, right? so it's not totally broken?
[23:09] <ekoore> is possible disable the gpe11 in the kernel?
[23:09] <Edlyness> LittleRed: did you see this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys
[23:09] <LittleRed> Edlyness: only thing similar is a keymap notify entry
[23:10] <Edlyness> LittleRed: it has info on how to assign multimedia functions to various keys. Give that a try.
[23:10] <Ampelbein> [deXter]: did you put the NOPASSWD stuff at the end of the file?
[23:10] <awesomenickname_> anyone using Apple wireless keyboard here? I've run into problems after update
[23:10] <LittleRed> Edlyness: so I use that 'code' in the keyboard mapping utility?
[23:10] <grom> ll
[23:10] <[deXter]> Ampelbein: Oh, hold on.
[23:10] <grom> oops, wrong window :)
[23:11] <awesomenickname_> I used to bind it via `hidd --connect`, but for some strange reason now it doesnt work in gnome
[23:11] <Gooch> Ok so I have a sleight problem.  Last night while doing some work I plugged in my hp dv4 in to my tv via hdmi.  I wanted to listen to some music so I pulled up my sound preferences and switched it to my hdmi device.  Now that I'm not plugged in I cant get sound back.  Ive tried all the available devices too. and I have googled but its very wordy to search.
[23:11] <awesomenickname_> I can use it in virtual terminal, but when I log into gnome with the same user - it just dies
[23:11] <[deXter]> Ampelbein: Sweet it works.. the behaviour is a bit weird, I thought it'd work like ACLs.. anyways, thanks for your help!
[23:12] <Edlyness> LittleRed: I think so. Give it a try.
[23:12] <Ampelbein> [deXter]: the man page mentions that in the first paragraph ;-)
[23:13] <zvacet> FloridaGuy: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?&p=1483050&postcount=3
[23:14] <njbair> how can I tell what video driver is currently in use?
[23:14] <Belial`> njbair, let me guess...you're using switchable graphics?
[23:15] <LittleRed> Edlyness: I'm lost again...
[23:15] <njbair> no I just uninstalled the proprietary nvidia driver and I don't know what ubuntu chose instead
[23:15] <zvacet> njbair: lspci |grep VGA
[23:15] <LittleRed> Edlyness: I can't find where to put it...
[23:15] <Stryker> !njbair: lspci |grep VGA
[23:15] <njbair> zvacet: that's the device, I want the driver
[23:16] <ohzie> Hey everyone. What's the best way to set group permissions on a directory if you want one group to have write, one group not to have write, and 'everyone else' be unable to read at all? chmod 750 does it for user/group/everyone else, but I'm trying to permission for two groups. Not sure how to accomplish this. =P
[23:16] <zvacet> njbair : sorry
[23:16] <Belial`> mine shows the intel gpu and the nvidia gpu. unfortunately i can't get the nvidia gpu to run because x.org and nvidia won't support optimus on linux.
[23:17] <awesomenickname_> damn, ubuntu sucks such a huge user-friendly cock!
[23:17] <Gooch> On top of my sound problem. I was wondering since many of you seem to have a strong knowledge of linux I was wondering if you had any recommended sites/books/etc. of course theres always google. but any personal favorites?
[23:17] <Ampelbein> !ops | awesomenickname_
[23:17] <ohzie> awesomenickname_: so don't use it
[23:17] <IdleOne> !language | awesomenickname_
[23:17] <Belial`> !makeloveto | awesomenickname_
[23:18] <awesomenickname_> I've been using it for several years
[23:18] <ohzie> awesomenickname_: there are so many alternatives you can use that don't involve trying to troll the ubuntu channel. =(
[23:18] <chamunks> Does anyone have experience with Crossfire on amd sapphire HD6850's
[23:18] <awesomenickname_> and every time, every release something somewhere goes wrong in such a bad way. Something that worked before.
[23:18] <chamunks> I'm currently having issues with getting my second monitor setup and running.
[23:19] <awesomenickname_> guess I should really roll somewhere else :-(
[23:19] <zvacet> Gooch : you can start with http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html
[23:19] <ohzie> awesomenickname_: I'm still using 9.04 on most of my machine. You don't upgrade to the new windows on release day, why would you upgrade to the new anything else? :P
[23:19] <cchildress> hi everyone :)
[23:19] <ohzie> awesomenickname_: don't upgrade until you chill in the channel and see what problems people are having first, imo
[23:20] <Belial`> 9.04 isn't even being supported anymore, is it?
[23:20] <ohzie> Belial`: No, but it doesn't break either
[23:20] <ohzie> Belial`: Why would I need support
[23:20] <zvacet> Belial` : not it is not
[23:20] <Gooch> sweet action! thanks!
[23:20] <cchildress> i have a friend's laptop (which of course needs fixing). it has a broadcom 4306 wireless card which works fine...if i can get the drivers working.  he tried to install the legacy b43 firmware pack, and now i can't get it to go away
[23:20] <cchildress> to install the standard b43-fwcutter
[23:21] <cchildress> i have purged all the packages, but every time i go to "additional drivers" it shows the legacy broadcom drivers
[23:21] <cchildress> any idea how to get that to completely go away? i'm sure it's just a config somewhere?
[23:21] <zvacet> ohzie : for security packages for example
[23:21] <mrbrdo> hello.. i seem to have had a disk failure... now when i reboot, grub enters "minimal" mode.. what does this mean about the disk? grub is still on the disk, right? so it's not totally broken?
[23:21] <chamunks> I'm basically having trouble with my xorg.conf I cant seem to manage to figure out how to figure out information about how ubuntu sees my video cards to put any data into xorg.conf..
[23:21] <cchildress> mrbrdo: there are hdd testing tools...i'd suggest trying one. also, what happens when you try to boot from a livecd?
[23:21] <cg2916> after i updated to 11.04 alpha 3, when i choose the latest linux and it says error: file not found, then boots into maveric
[23:21] <ohzie> zvacet: the only open thing is ssh, I use the apachefiends lammp release for everything else. App armor works fine.
[23:22] <cchildress> mrbrdo: can you read your hdd from a livecd?
[23:22] <mrbrdo> cchildress will try, thanks
[23:22] <Gooch> Under sound preferences, hardware tab I have switched it to all of them minus the hdmi obviously thats not what I need.  I'm trying to get my Laptop speakers running again.
[23:22] <An0ne> Im using UFW easy-to-use not complicated
[23:22] <ohzie> zvacet: I'm not saying I'm scared to upgrade, I'm just saying that I don't upgrade systems until I have a great reason to.
[23:22] <Gooch> I'm sure Its something simple and im being mentally retarded.
[23:23] <Ampelbein> cchildress: check with 'dkms status' and remove them if necessary
[23:23] <cchildress> Gooch: unfortunately, pebkac is all too common
[23:23] <ohzie> zvacet: and I think I'm an extreme example. I was only stating for the benefit of the guy who was talking about how new releases always break things.
[23:23] <Gooch> pebkac?
[23:23] <cg2916> did anybody get me?
[23:23] <cchildress> Ampelbein: i see nothing when i issue that command, even as su
[23:23] <ohzie> Gooch: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair
[23:23] <cchildress> ohzie: lol thanks
[23:23] <zvacet> ohzie:  I believe you know what are you doing but security updates are not without reason
[23:24] <Belial`> has anyone in here actually got a core processor and a geforce gt 420m to work with the nvidia driver yet?
[23:24] <ohzie> zvacet: No, they're very very important for most people
[23:24] <ohzie> zvacet: and I would never use a prouction server without security updates
[23:24] <An0ne> whats the difference between the Cusom User in Ubuntu and the Administrator in terms of privileges?
[23:24] <ohzie> production*
[23:24] <An0ne> whats the difference between the Custom User in Ubuntu and the Administrator in terms of privileges?
[23:24] <Gooch> ha ha ha, yeah probably so.  But I'm intrigued by linux and want to learn everything I can.
[23:24] <yuzodo> hi there, i had some random disconnecting issues a while back but fixed it partially, however it's come back and networkmanager as well as connman failed to resolve it so im using wicd now, but that only works for ethernet, and i really need wifi
[23:24] <zvacet> ohzie:  and I agree you don´t have to upgrade on release day it is good to wait for some time
[23:24] <cg2916> after i updated to 11.04 alpha 3, when i choose the latest linux and it says error: file not found, then boots into maveric
[23:25] <ohzie> An0ne: One can do almost anything and one can do less
[23:25] <cchildress> Ampelbein: any other ideas about how to find what's staying behind?
[23:25] <chamunks> Anyone, I know its a pain helping with xorg.conf issues.
[23:25] <Ampelbein> cchildress: hmm, 'jockey-text -l'?
[23:25] <An0ne> ohzie: but they both have toor access?
[23:25] <An0ne> ohzie: but they both have root access?
[23:26] <cchildress> Ampelbein: lol what does that do?
[23:26] <ohzie> An0ne: well the adminisrator is root
[23:26] <ohzie> An0ne: so it would have root access
[23:26] <cchildress> ahhhhh
[23:26] <zvacet> An0ne : just admin
[23:26] <Ampelbein> cchildress: it lists available drivers for your system
[23:26] <ohzie> An0ne: the normal user has to gksu or sudo to root access
[23:26] <cchildress> Ampelbein: see the b43legacy firmware
[23:26] <cg2916> can anyone help me?
[23:26] <An0ne> Well yes but the custom user can also use root, so whats the difference?
[23:26] <cchildress> Ampelbein: it shows up as proprietary, disabled, not in use
[23:27] <An0ne> SO you should never set yourself as administrator? for security purposes?
[23:27] <ohzie> An0ne: if you're using a normal user and you get hit by a browser exploit(example) then that exploit can run code at your level
[23:27] <ohzie> An0ne: but not at the root level
[23:27] <Ampelbein> cchildress: ok. how did you install/remove the legacy drivers?
[23:27] <chamunks> Even an ubottu link for xorg configuration and dual video card / monitor setups.
[23:27] <ohzie> An0ne: unless you're sudo/gksudoing your browser(which you wouldn't
[23:27] <cchildress> Ampelbein: through synaptic. did a "complete removal"
[23:27] <ohzie> )
[23:27] <zvacet> An0ne : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[23:27] <An0ne> That bwoser exploit for example wont take effect if i wouldve used the Custom User?
[23:28] <Ampelbein> cchildress: that should get them out for reals though
[23:28] <cchildress> An0ne: no, it might still affect...but with limited privileges
[23:28] <bushbaby> cg2916: So you updated to Alpha 3 from a maverick install?
[23:28] <ohzie> An0ne: no it would run but it wouldn't have access to your whole system
[23:28] <cg2916> bushbaby: yup
[23:28] <ohzie> An0ne: what are you actually asking us
[23:28] <cchildress> Ampelbein: lol i know that's why i'm confused
[23:28] <ohzie> An0ne: Do you want to just not have to put in your password all the time?
[23:28] <bushbaby> cg2916: So what happens at boot?
[23:28] <An0ne> Weither i should use the administrator or custom
[23:29] <ohzie> An0ne: use the regular user and sudo things when you have to
[23:29] <ohzie> An0ne: It's just the way to go
[23:29] <cg2916> bushbaby: i select the 2.38 from the grub menu, it says "Error: File not found", then boots to Maveric
[23:29] <skullboy> someone explain this line "geometry 1024 768 1024 768 16"
[23:29] <ohzie> An0ne: As you learn more about linux, more of this will make sense to you
[23:29] <cg2916> bushbaby: Same when I choose 2.35
[23:29] <cchildress> Ampelbein: would there be any merit to re-installing and then re-purging the offending package?
[23:29] <zvacet> An0ne : custom (without admin privileges) for every day use
[23:29] <bushbaby> cg2916: You have maverick on another partition i presume?
[23:29] <ohzie> skullboy: 1024 pixels horizontally, 768 vertically, and 16 bit color.
[23:29] <cg2916> bushbaby: separate from windows
[23:30] <ohzie> skullboy: not sure why it has the pixels listed twice
[23:30] <An0ne> I can imagine that people set theirself as administrator for easyness but that doesnt mean its a smart thing to-do :P
[23:30] <Ampelbein> cchildress: don't think so. what does 'dpkg -l | grep b43' say?
[23:30] <cchildress> Ampelbein: nothing...
[23:31] <bushbaby> cg2916: Might just be a dud install, have you tried reinstalling?
[23:31] <zvacet> An0ne : I think it is common to have two accounts  :)
[23:31] <cg2916> bushbaby: dang it, it'll take 2 hours, but i'll try
[23:31] <skullboy> ohzie: im trying to forge a fbset report
[23:31] <cchildress> Ampelbein: what i want to know, is what was left behind
[23:31] <bushbaby> cg2916: You can try and copy the 2.35 binaries across but it's probably a safer bet to try reinstalling first
[23:32] <ohzie> skullboy: why
[23:32] <cchildress> Ampelbein: if it's just a file in /lib/firmware, i should be able to remove it
[23:32] <cg2916> ok
[23:32] <cchildress> same with a config file
[23:32] <skullboy> ohzie: because i need it for qingy but fb0 ist a valid device on my system
[23:32] <Ampelbein> cchildress: what is shown in jockey-gtk? only the STA or also the b43?
[23:33] <cchildress> Ampelbein: that's the problem..only the STA...the b43 doesn't show up even when installed
[23:33] <cchildress> very odd :/
[23:33] <cg2916> bushbaby: hmm, i do update-manager -d, and it shows software updates
[23:33] <chamunks> Anyone got any information on setting up ATI / AMD video cards Catalyst driver and Xorg.conf?
[23:34] <cchildress> chamunks: should be fairly automatic. what card do you have, and which version of ubuntu are you running?
[23:34] <ohzie> skullboy: Are you having this problem: http://bugs.gentoo.org/38863 ?
[23:34] <bushbaby> cg2916: is this in natty or maverick?
[23:35] <Ampelbein> cchildress: just to be sure:  ndiswrapper-utils isn't installed and ndiswrapper module is not loaded? same with the ssb and b43/44 module
[23:35] <chamunks> cchildress: Heh its never straight forward with newer hardware. I'm rockin two AMD Sapphire HD6850's and I want to get my dual monitors working again or at least the darn catalyst driver.
[23:35] <cg2916> bushbaby: maveric
[23:35] <cchildress> chamunks: you're right; that's far from straightforward lol
[23:35] <skullboy> ohzie: no and by the way i run ubuntu 10.10 not gentoo
[23:35] <cchildress> chamunks: afraid i've never attempted what you are in linux, sorry but i don't think i'd be helpful
[23:36] <chamunks> cchildress: I figured since sapphire doesent supply a driver that I could maybe cheap out and go with the amd driver for the HD6850.
[23:36] <ohzie> skullboy: Packages have similar problems cross-distro
[23:36] <skullboy> ohzie: good point
[23:36] <bushbaby> cg2916: the distribution update to natty you mean?
[23:36] <ohzie> skullboy: and gentoo boys are fantastically intense about their documentation.
[23:36] <chamunks> cchildress: I
[23:36] <cchildress> Ampelbein: no, it looks like i'm free of ndis-anything
[23:36] <cg2916> bushbaby: uhhh, i don't think so
[23:37] <bushbaby> cg2916: or just software updates, in which case, is there a kernel update in there?
[23:37] <cchildress> chamunks: i always go with standard amd drivers
[23:37] <skullboy> ohzie: thanks for the tip ill keep that in mind
[23:37] <cchildress> chamunks: fwiw
[23:37] <ohzie> skullboy: no problem
[23:37] <Ampelbein> cchildress: then I'm afraid I don't know any further.
[23:37] <cchildress> Ampelbein: well, thank you very much for your help, anyway
[23:37] <cg2916> bushbaby: i didn't see it, and it's not making me restart (it's done)
[23:37] <awesomenickname_> nailed the problem
[23:37] <awesomenickname_> gnome-settings-daemon screwed my keyboard once again
[23:37] <chamunks> cchildress: I'm thinking that my biggest issue is xorg.conf  If I can figure out how to build a barebones xorg.conf that will recognize my video card's and their identifiers that would be best.
[23:37] <cchildress> Ampelbein: ah HAH. i think i may have found it...hold on...
[23:38] <bushbaby> cg2916: unlikely to have been a kernel update then. can you mount the natty partition?
[23:38] <cchildress> chamunks: lol gentoo much?
[23:38] <skullboy> ohzie: the problem is there is no dev for fb0
[23:38] <chamunks> cchildress: I dont really need spoonfeeding but any suggestions or possible research might help.
[23:38] <cg2916> bushbaby: idk, i don't even think it installed right (where would I find it?)
[23:38] <cchildress> Ampelbein: i think the 'bcmwl-kernel-source' package hasn't been completely removed...and that's for STA
[23:38] <chamunks> cchildress: Actually have never touched gentoo past an early version like 10 years ago when I first tried using linux.
[23:39] <cchildress> chamunks: i really hate to say it but besides snarky humor i probably won't be much help
[23:39] <cchildress> sorry :(
[23:39] <Ampelbein> cchildress: hmm, if it's installed as dependency it should be removed by synaptic/aptitude when purging.
[23:39] <chamunks> cchildress: its alright I was hopeful :P
[23:39] <cchildress> i've never used dual video cards in linux
[23:39] <bushbaby> cg2916: what's the output of 'uname -r' in a terminal?
[23:39] <ohzie> skullboy: HMM.
[23:39] <chamunks> cchildress: I have no idea how to address a video card at all lol.  But I know that xorg.conf wants me to do so.
[23:39] <randomuser> can someone help me build a simple kickstart to source an NFS installation tree?
[23:40] <ohzie> skullboy: sec
[23:40] <cchildress> chamunks: it's just a section in xorg.conf...it's been 3-4 years since i hand-configed an xorg.conf myself
[23:40] <cg2916> bushbaby: 2.6.38-6-generic
[23:41] <bushbaby> cg2916: well you're currently using the natty kernel. are you sure you're in maverick right now?
[23:41] <chamunks> cchildress: hmm its all good I should probably sleep on this problem and be content with the fact that my computer is working lol... :S grumble grumble.
[23:41] <chamunks> cchildress: well thanks for your time and attention either way.
[23:41] <cg2916> it says maverick in about ubuntu, any other way i can check?
[23:41] <ohzie> skullboy: did you install the dependancies listed on the qingy website and build from source?
[23:41] <mgmuscari> i've got an apache2 server running on an amazon ec2 instance, and i've followed the steps given here for setting up HTTPS: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html. lsof -i tells me that apache2 is listening on 443, and i have no rules set in iptables, however remote clients can't connect. more troubleshooting ideas?
[23:42] <bushbaby> cg2916: what's the output of 'cat /etc/issue'?

[23:51] <Scunizi> sometime in the last 4 days my usb headset speaker volume has diminished to a point where it's difficult to hear anything but the mic is working fine.  Headset works find on another ubuntu machine. Pavucontrol says volume is all the way up and the sound indication line is bouncing at the high volume end.. Any help fixing this appriciated.
[23:52] <cg2916> bushbaby: you there?
[23:52] <Yoinx> cg2916, you could go through here. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/e-could-not-get-lock-var-lib-dpkg-lock-open-11-resource-temporarily-unavailable-360554/#post4254103
[23:52] <bushbaby> cg2916: hmmm ok. well seeing as natty boots ok but grub is showing duff kernels run 'sudo update-grub' to see what it finds
[23:52] <Yoinx> if bushbaby doesnt come back
[23:52] <Yoinx> nvm
[23:52] <FloodBot2> Yoinx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:53] <bushbaby> cg2916: Yeah sorry, was tying madly at my command line (I'm on natty too) to try and work out some solutions
[23:53] <aeon-ltd> Scunizi: if settings are the same for both machines, and the ports are fine - iit seems more likely theres a wiring problem in the headset
[23:54] <prix83> how can disattivate touchpad drivers and install new ones ??
[23:54] <cg2916> anybody?
[23:54] <Scunizi> aeon-ltd: that's just it.. no issues with the wiring.. checked on 1 additional ubuntu box, 1 kubuntu box and windows.. headset is good (that was my first thought-wiring).. the only difference on my desktop that has the issue is it has both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed for switching on login depending on my mood that day..
[23:55] <bushbaby> cg2916: I've made two responses thus far...?
[23:55] <Yoinx> Scunizi, try another set of headphones on the quiet computer. Maybe the port's bad
[23:55] <slug0> how do i get to the perl room?
[23:56] <Scunizi> Yoinx: perhaps.. but I don't have another set of usb headset/mic
[23:56] <cg2916> hello?
[23:56] <Yoinx> oh, it's usb?
[23:56] <Scunizi> Yoinx: yes
[23:56] <Yoinx> sorry, I missed that part... do you have the right drivers for it on that box?
[23:57] <Scunizi> Yoinx: it's been working fine since Xmas.. just in the last 4 days it got "quiet" on the speaker side.. mic works fine
[23:57] <slug0> topic
[23:57] <cg2916> i need help
[23:57] <bushbaby> cg2916: You seem to be having connection problems if you can't see anyone? Try resetting your client.

[23:58] <frustro>  strange vbox/ubuntu/freebsd/floppy question.  I need to custom build freebsd for freenas because my sas controller is not supported.  freebsd install requires a floppy. the card vendor only supplies files.  Anyone know of a way on ubuntu to create an floppy img with those files so i can mount it in my vm?
