[22:01] <zertyui`> incase if u what to reboot that web server how do u do ?
[22:01] <Halitech> zertyui`, depends on if you have the rights to do that
[22:01] <jedi06> onetinsoldier wait up a sec?
[22:01] <XFCEntral> zertyui`: you can connect to your ubuntu server and run commands using SSH
[22:01] <onetinsoldier> jedi06: do you really want this dir into a destination dir? or just the files form the first dir into the destination dir?
[22:01] <mavsman> zertyui` thanks big dog
[22:02] <onetinsoldier> from*
[22:02] <zertyui`> i want to use as i use my home linux pc
[22:02] <jedi06> ontinsoldier the whole dir is fine
[22:02] <Halitech> XFCEntral, depends on if SSH is enabled on the server
[22:02] <dewente> tiyowan, where is it /
[22:02] <XFCEntral> Halitech: i would ;)
[22:02] <onetinsoldier> jedi06: ok, the what i showed you should be fine...  use cp -Rv to see ouput during the command if you want
[22:03] <Halitech> XFCEntral, if it was my server at home I would as well but most hosting companies disable SSH
[22:03] <ChrisBookwoodEee> what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? I get the error "*** is not a block device"
[22:03] <tiyowan> dewente: tldp.org
[22:03] <Tr0gd0r2> what command can I type from ssh to find out my drive size?
[22:03] <mn> I used cp -r /mnt/disk /mnt/disk1 and edited GRUB's menu.lst, mtab, and fstab to make the new partition (/mnt/disk1 device is /dev/sda3) kind of work.  I can GUI log in (i used chown -R username:root / to enable this) but it logs me in as username@localhost, so I can't use anything administrative.  When I try to sudo whatever it says it must be setuid.  What can I do to correct this?
[22:03] <zertyui`> sorry
[22:03] <RabidWeezle> is it possible to upgrade from gutsy to intrepid?
[22:03] <RabidWeezle> or do I need to jump to hardy first?
[22:03] <Halitech> zertyui`, then you need to download and install the server edition and make sure you enable SSH
[22:03] <Flannel> ishan: RabidWeezle you'll have to upgrade to Hardy first, yeah
[22:03] <XFCEntral> Halitech: he wants to use it like his linux box at home, apparently. in this case im sure it isnt headless, so System > Reboot or the equivalent should do fine...
[22:03] <RabidWeezle> ty
[22:04] <zertyui`> is there any provider who give that facility N
[22:04] <gorgapor> why is there no installation candidate for python3-profiler?
[22:04] <dewente> tiyowan, i am in there... now what link ?
[22:04] <hischild> mn, the chown command screwed it all up for you. There's no way to fix this, as you've broken pretty much all the permissions on the files.
[22:04] <zertyui`> ?
[22:04] <zertyui`> install ubuntu on web server ?
[22:04] <ChrisBookwoodEee> what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? I get the error "*** is not a block device"
[22:04] <Halitech> XFCEntral, yeah, makes it hard to know what they want when they don't ask a single question that has all the info and makes sense
[22:04] <KenBW22> does anyone know a way i can get Hardy's theme on Intrepid?
[22:04] <ishan_> Halitech, sorry i lost connection..anything that you could do??
[22:05] <XFCEntral> Halitech: right, so far im a bit confused..
[22:05] <mn> hischild: before i did this, I couldn't log in at all!  it said nothing could write to $HOME.  Do I need to format the drive and re-cp everything?
[22:05] <tiyowan> dewente: The entire site, mate. You need to do a lot of reading, and get experience. Can't become a system administrator in a day. :)
[22:05] <XFCEntral> zertyui`: would you like to install Ubuntu on a web server you already use?
[22:05] <mn> s/drive/partition
[22:05] <mn> s/partition/drive*
[22:05] <hischild> mn, that for starters. You should copy with the maintain file permissions.
[22:05] <zelda> hey whats the red power button called in ubuntu?
[22:05] <ChrisBookwoodEee> what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? ave tried with "defaults" but I get the error "*** is not a block device"
[22:06] <Halitech> ishan_, <Flannel> ishan: It'd be better to just make another user alias for all of your users (since there are 'users' on your machine that aren't actually users, you probably won't want them being able to disconnect you)
[22:06] <dewente> tiyowan, i know that. therefore, linux jobs are well paid
[22:06] <hischild> mn, use cp --preserve
[22:06] <Halitech> XFCEntral, you aren't alone there
[22:06] <zertyui`> no i simply want to use a web server which is running 24 hours
[22:06] <odder> the question has been surely asked in here, but: does anybody have any idea how to fix the broken flashplugin-nonfree package?
[22:06] <zertyui`> where i want to install ubuntu on it
[22:06] <zertyui`> is it possible
[22:06] <zertyui`> ?
[22:06] <tiyowan> !flash > odder
[22:06] <MatBoy> mhh, I have serious issues with LVM, wierd, root fails... seems to be a bug again :S
[22:07] <Flannel> zertyui`: You mean a server someone else owns?
[22:07] <zertyui`> if yes is it possible to use that web server as we can use a home pc
[22:07] <ishan_> ok.
[22:07] <zertyui`> installling software
[22:07] <mn> hischild: ok, I will try that.  I have to reboot onto a liveCD because I am on the partition I want to copy, but I will be back after this is done.
[22:07] <ishan_> but still i am not able to solve my problem..
[22:07] <Flannel> zertyui`: Yes.  However if someone else owns it, you likely won't be able to do that.
[22:07] <zertyui`> reboot the pc etc
[22:07] <onetinsoldier> odder: what version and architecture of ubuntu are you running?
[22:07] <Halitech> zertyui`, google search for LAMP + Ubuntu
[22:07] <ChrisBookwoodEee> what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? have tried with "defaults" but I get the error "*** is not a block device"
[22:07] <ishan_> is there anybody who has some experience editing the sudoers file
[22:07] <jack--> hi. http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/i386/libsqlite0-dev/download doesn't work - all mirrors give me a 404. what should i do now?
[22:08] <zelda> anyone know?
[22:08] <tiyowan> jack--: Feisty is EOL.
[22:08] <allsystemsarego> !lamp | zertyui`
[22:08] <odder> onetinsoldier: I'm using Intrepid, amd64; flashplugin has broken todaay after a suggested update
[22:08] <XFCEntral> zelda: what the red button is called? you mean the name of the image file?
[22:08] <jack--> tiyowan: i know. still using it anyway. old computer.
[22:08] <zelda> I mean the red button in the top right you click to shutdown the computer or log off?
[22:08] <Flannel> ishan_: Yes?  Yes, you don't mind having an alias in sudoers listing people you want to use pon/poff?
[22:08] <MatBoy> mhh, weird, 8.10 is a pain it looks to me, I'm going to install 8.04 again
[22:08] <MatBoy> see what it brings
[22:08] <hausmeister> hello
[22:09] <zertyui`> thx Halitech
[22:09] <ito> hi. I have a quick question. where can I find the log that is created when i try to hibernate my computer
[22:09] <Halitech> zelda, the log off button?
[22:09] <tiyowan> zelda: You need to point your sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com I think. Google for info.
[22:09] <Org-Mode> MatBoy: you make it sound as if thats a bad thing
[22:09] <onetinsoldier> odder: i can get that fixed... first and most important thing though, is tomake sure you do not have any kind or version of flash hanging around on your system
[22:09] <tiyowan> zelda: Oops. Sorry.
[22:09] <XFCEntral> zelda: yes, i see. what do you mean by 'its name?'
[22:09] <archan89> Merry Christmas everyone. Anyone that could help me getting a Dlink DWA-140 usb dongle working on 8.04?
[22:09] <zelda> yeah
[22:09] <jack--> tiyowan: is there not a single mirror anymore that could have feisty debs?
[22:09] <zelda> i removed that from the panel, and I want it back
[22:09] <tiyowan> jack--: You need to point your sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com I think. Google for info.
[22:10] <Seveas> jack--, old-archive.ubuntu.com
[22:10] <Flannel> jack--: feisty is EOL and you really should upgrade.  You can use old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu in order to get up-to-date for the upgrade to gutsy
[22:10] <jack--> ok, thx. :)
[22:10] <MatBoy> Org-Mode: yes it seems so, I thought it didn't had any issues, but it has on LVM for sure
[22:10] <Jeruvy> Halitech: ok ifconfig is giving me a valid IP shows " inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS> Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>"  That mask looks funny to me.
[22:10] <odder> onetinsoldier: hm. okay, it think I've found the answer. As the broken package version is <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu1~intrepid1
[22:10] <onetinsoldier> odder: let me know if you need help uninstalling any type of flash you might have on there
[22:11] <odder> ... I think installing a previus version would fix the problem?
[22:11] <Halitech> Jeruvy, hmmmm, yeah usually it would be <IP_ADDRESS> ... although your bcast looks odd as well to me
[22:11] <Jeruvy> Halitech: thats ok.  the bcast is correct
[22:11] <zelda> How do I add that button back to the panel.
[22:11] <zelda> ?
[22:11] <Halitech> Jeruvy, ok, if you say so :)
[22:12] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: That mask is odd.
[22:12] <Halitech> zelda, right click the panel and add button then go through the list to find the log off button
[22:12] <chazco> Hi... does anyone know the correct way to make changes in nvidia-settings remain after reboot? I have a projector connected via AV (but not always) and would like to keep it configured...
[22:12] <Jason_WT> what is te command to run something from the terminal
[22:12] <Jason_WT> ?
[22:13] <onetinsoldier> odder: what is the output of...  dpkg -l '*flash*' | awk '/^ii/ {print $2}' ...?
[22:13] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Mask ought to be <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:13] <BCM43> Jason_WT: just do the name of the aplicaion
[22:13] <Halitech> Jason_WT, what do you want to run?
[22:13] <javier> ksynaptics is not longer in kubuntu 8.10... is there a replacement for it?
[22:13] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: ya I figured that, but I'm not sure how to change it
[22:13] <thomas_> INFO : I sell design for your website for 100 to 200€
[22:13] <Slart> Jason_WT: ehh.. just the command itself.. if you want to run gedit you run.. gedit.. or am I misunderstanding something
[22:13] <thomas_> or 300$
[22:14] <Slart> thomas_: wrong place.. very wrong place
[22:14] <Jason_WT> it is a .run file
[22:14] <thomas_> wrong place ? why ?
[22:14] <thomas_> you don't like web site ?
[22:14] <zelda> Thanks
[22:14] <BCM43> Jason_WT: naveigate to the folder and do ./filename
[22:14] <Slart> thomas_: this is a support channel for ubuntu
[22:14] <XFCEntral> thomas_: not a place to advertise
[22:14] <thomas_> i know, its forbidden why i do ?
[22:14] <Slart> thomas_: so either you ask or answer questions about ubuntu support
[22:14] <thomas_> ah ok, sorry
[22:14] <Halitech> Jason_WT, you need to make it exacutable then depending on what it is, sudo sh nameoffile.run or maybe not with sudo
[22:14] <Luomeng> Really nooby question here, but how come ubuntu won't let me set up a wired internet?
[22:15] <Luomeng> i pluged in the ethernet cable
[22:15] <Jeruvy> Halitech: tiyowan: my installed ubuntu for instance shows "inet addr: <IP_ADDRESS> Bcast: <IP_ADDRESS> Mask: <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:15] <archan89> Anyone that had any idea on how to make a Dlink DWA140 functional?
[22:15] <Luomeng> and it wont connect
[22:15] <BCM43> Luomeng: do you get errors?
[22:15] <Luomeng> no
[22:15] <Luomeng> it just says that it won't connect
[22:15] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Now that subnet mark is definitely wrong.
[22:15] <BCM43> Luomeng: does it try to connect?
[22:15] <tiyowan> er, mask.
[22:15] <Luomeng> yes
[22:15] <BCM43> Luomeng: and what happens?
[22:15] <Jason_WT> BCM43: thanks, i typed \ instead of /
[22:15] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: thats the auto-configure :)
[22:16] <Luomeng> and it tries to get an ip address for like 2 minutes
[22:16] <BCM43> Jason_WT: lol
[22:16] <Halitech> Jeruvy, its not wireless is it?
[22:16] <hischild> tiyowan, why is that mask wrong?
[22:16] <Luomeng> and then it just kinda says it can't connect
[22:16] <Jeruvy> Halitech: no pure copper :)
[22:16] <Jason_WT> is there also a way to run if as sudo from the gile manager think, like mycomp, like run as root
[22:16] <onetinsoldier> odder: hello?
[22:16] <Halitech> Jeruvy, ok, blows that idea
[22:16] <BCM43> Luomeng: have you tried another cable?
[22:16] <Luomeng> um no
[22:16] <Luomeng> only 1
[22:16] <tiyowan> Hmm.
[22:17] <Luomeng> do you think it could be the cable's fault?
[22:17] <archan89> Jason_WT, "gksudo nautilus" that should open the file manager in su mode
[22:17] <BCM43> Luomeng: it might be that. Other than that, it could be whatever you are plugging it into, or it could be ubuntu.
[22:17] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: whats funny is that it works.
[22:17] <nibsa1242> anyone know if there is a way to copy the config for pulse from a working installation to an instillation that isn't working?
[22:17] <Luomeng> okay
[22:17] <Flannel> Jason_WT: be extremely careful with that, and close it as soon as your done.  What are you trying to do that you need super user in a GUI?
[22:17] <Luomeng> what happens if its ubuntu
[22:17] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Could you provide some details on your network please? How many machines? LAN?
[22:17] <BCM43> Luomeng: is another computer connected to it?
[22:18] <Luomeng> yes
[22:18] <BCM43> the internet that is
[22:18] <Luomeng> and it works fine
[22:18] <BCM43> ok
[22:18] <BCM43> try swithcing the cables
[22:18] <Org-Mode> !enter
[22:18] <Luomeng> okay
[22:18] <Luomeng> ill brb
[22:18] <perhamlinux> hi guys.
[22:18] <perhamlinux> I need an advice.
[22:18] <Luomeng> cause ubuntu is on this computer too haah
[22:18] <nibsa1242> Pulse/ audio will run just fine from the live cd or from a fresh Ibex install... but if I let the system update, I get no sound.
[22:18] <BCM43> Org-Mode: I know, sorry.
[22:19] <Jason_WT> Flannel: i am just not used to prompts, and am more gui
[22:19] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: the network has 3 subnets, 1.x 2.x and 3.x  Router configured for /20 and bcast is ok at 5.255, numerous machines many os's etc.  The problem affects livecd's only.
[22:19] <ito> can anyone tell me where i can find the hibernate log in ubuntu
[22:19] <Flannel> Jason_WT: right, but what sort of administrative activities are you doing?
[22:19] <perhamlinux> I wanna buy a usb wireless modem. what brand / chip you suggest that works best and straightforward with linux?
[22:19] <BCM43> Jason_WT: use gksudo
[22:19] <hischild> Jeruvy, from what i'm reading so far from your problem, your DHCP server almost seems to hand out wrong data to one of your subnets.
[22:20] <BCM43> perhamlinux: DON'T get a broadcom
[22:20] <archan89> Anyone in here got any experiences with RAlink 2870 chipsets?
[22:20] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion: hello and merry christmas!
[22:20] <Jason_WT> i was installing the vbox additions and they need to be ran as root
[22:20] <perhamlinux> BCM43: anything else works fine?
[22:20] <BCM43> Jason_WT: use gksudo
[22:20] <Jeruvy> hischild: I would have assumed that also, except it does get a valid IP
[22:20] <BCM43> perhamlinux: no, but stay away from that one. Unless you want to spend days getting it to work.
[22:20] <darkfuzion> onetinsoldier halppy holiday and Merry Christmas to you
[22:20] <hischild> Jeruvy, i'm not saying it hands out a wrong IP. Type route and check if the default GW is correct.
[22:21] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion: thanks :-)
[22:21] <Jeruvy> hischild: I added the route manually, otherwise it is non-existant
[22:21] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Hmm...my instinct would be to check the router config.
[22:21] <odder> onetinsoldier: sorry, something odd happened with my ubuntu (i'm sshing into here through an other computer)
[22:21] <hischild> Jeruvy, please, could you check if it is correct?
[22:21] <onetinsoldier> odder: ok
[22:21] <perhamlinux> BCM43: thanks. what brand works out of the box?
[22:21] <odder> onetinsoldier: the output is (null) -- nothing
[22:21] <Jeruvy> hischild: will do
[22:21] <archan89> Anyone that had any idea on how to make a Dlink DWA140 functional?
[22:22] <onetinsoldier> odder: ok, how about   dpkg -l '*flash*' | awk '/^iF/ {print $2}'  ...?   ..and dangit, i'm being called away for a minute.
[22:22] <hischild> Jeruvy, From my point of view, it seems logical to check every step of the way. route is one of these.
[22:23] <bluntz> fixed myself -grab display was not broken- it was stolen by motion I think,after killing it TV capture works again!!!!wooooooohooooooo!!!!!
[22:23] <odder> onetinsoldier: still nothing, i've got no flashplugin installed in here, removed it a couple of minutes ago
[22:23] <tiyowan> hischild: Mask for 192.168.1.x, 2.x, 3.x, ought to be <IP_ADDRESS> right?
[22:23] <Jeruvy> hischild: I'm in agreement there.  Ok, router config looks ok.  dhcp client DNS is pointing to the gateway
[22:23] <odder> onetinsoldier: looks like the intrepid package is broken, as it was working till I've updated it
[22:23] <XFCEntral> archan89: ive found the driver i think you will need for your Dlink DWA-140, finding more out
[22:23] <hischild> tiyowan, yes
[22:24] <haffi> hi
[22:24] <archan89> Oh, thanks XFCEntral.
[22:24] <KenBW22> is there a way to export a theme?
[22:24] <ito> can anyone tell me where i can find the hibernate log in intrepid ibex?
[22:24] <hischild> Jeruvy, route is a client command, giving you a default gateway and other info. Not the router, that would have been a step bit ahead.
[22:24] <bluntz> HOHOHO merry Xmas to ME!!!!!!
[22:24] <hischild> Jeruvy, if i sum your problem up, you can't reach internet on the liveCD, correct?
[22:25] <BCM43> perhamlinux: d-link dwl-g12  seems good
[22:25] <imaginativeone> how do I adjust the audio?
[22:25] <BCM43> imaginativeone: what about the audio?
[22:25] <perhamlinux> BCM43: thanks pal. merry christmas
[22:26] <BCM43> perhamlinux: marry christmas to you too.
[22:26] <imaginativeone> is there a way to adjust the sound on my system?
[22:26] <Luomeng> BCM43
[22:26] <onetinsoldier> odder: ok.. i'm back
[22:26] <Luomeng> im back haha
[22:26] <darkfuzion> ahhhh Merry Christmas to all and all a good buntu holiday lol
[22:26] <BCM43> Luomeng: hi again
[22:26] <mib_z8lrq4> hi is it possible for gparted to edit an external hdd?
[22:26] <Luomeng> and i tried a new cable and it still didn't work
[22:26] <MilesCom> imaginativeone: prefernces sound
[22:26] <hischild> Jeruvy, do you know how to perform a traceroute?
[22:26] <Luomeng> it says trying to get a network address
[22:26] <BCM43> Luomeng: ok, the it is most likely ubuntu
[22:26] <darkfuzion> !chriastmas
[22:26] <imaginativeone> thanks
[22:26] <Luomeng> okay
[22:26] <darkfuzion> !christmas
[22:26] <Luomeng> so how can I fix it?
[22:26] <bluntz> imagine doubleclik speaker
[22:27] <onetinsoldier> odder: ok, lets try to find the flash if there is any. but i am wondering. you say a package is broken?
[22:27] <hischild> !ot | darkfuzion
[22:27] <darkfuzion> DUUUUH STUPID
[22:27] <onetinsoldier> odder: what happens with  apt-get -f install   ?
[22:27] <hischild> darkfuzion, please don't do that here.
[22:27] <darkfuzion> hischild beat off
[22:27] <BCM43> Luomeng: run lspci and put the result in pastebin
[22:27] <Luomeng> okay
[22:28] <KenBW22> is there a way to export a theme?
[22:28] <Luomeng> but im on xp right now
[22:28] <Flannel> darkfuzion: Please keep this channel on topic, thanks.
[22:28] <Luomeng> cause im trying to dual boot my NC10
[22:28] <darkfuzion> it was on topic
[22:28] <Luomeng> so how do i paste it
[22:28] <odder> onetinsoldier: definitely. I've installed it about two weeks ago and flash broke; I was so lucky to have an older version in /var/cache/apt/ and installed it; however, today I don't have it anymore and flash no longer works
[22:28] <brujo> !games
[22:28] <darkfuzion> go f yourself
[22:28] <BCM43> Luomeng: not much I can tell you but go back
[22:28] <onetinsoldier> odder: what happens with  apt-get -f install   ?
[22:28] <kolby> I need help setting one of my soundcards to default.
[22:28] <BCM43> darkfuzion: please stop
[22:28] <hischild> darkfuzion, it was not on topic. This is a support channel. Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[22:28] <kolby> I have two soundcards and I want one of them to be efault
[22:28] <darkfuzion> wishing you a merry christmas
[22:28] <MilesCom> odder: type man aptitude
[22:28] <darkfuzion> so fuck yourself
[22:29] <XFCEntral> ???
[22:29] <bluntz> one tin think it forces version
[22:29] <odder> MilesCom: thanks for a great help
[22:29] <coeus82> lol, hit and run
[22:29] <Luomeng> okay
[22:29] <mortuis99> is there a way to access manage multiple machines from a single machine?
[22:29] <odder> MilesCom: that would definitely help me
[22:29] <hischild> Flannel, thank you.
[22:29] <Luomeng> i guess ill post it on uBuntu forums for help
[22:29] <brujo> kolby, maybe in system-> preferences ->sound
[22:29] <Luomeng> thanks anyways
[22:29] <brujo> you can chose the Card
[22:29] <kolby> brujo, I'll look there
[22:29] <archan89> XFCEntral, the driver you found, was it the RA2870 drivers?
[22:30] <brujo> kolby, tellme if was useful
[22:30] <XFCEntral> archan89: yes, i came across that myself
[22:30] <onetinsoldier> bluntz: it should help me determine if he actually has a packages who's install is 'broken'
[22:30] <bluntz> ahh
[22:30] <archan89> Well, it does detect it now, the network manager just won't consider it as a network card..
[22:30] <bluntz> slik
[22:30] <kolby> brujo, my problem still exists
[22:31] <brujo> kolby, what problem?
[22:31] <kolby> brujo, I think that should have worked though...
[22:31] <odder> onetinsoldier: ok, flash works
[22:31] <odder> onetinsoldier: just a question: what does the -f do?
[22:31] <kolby> brujo, defferent applications use different soundcards
[22:31] <onetinsoldier> odder: you sure? ok   -f  ...means 'fix'
[22:31] <x-ip> am i here ?
[22:31] <MilesCom> odder: it displays the file format
[22:31] <x-ip> seems i'm ^.^''
[22:32] <hischild> x-ip, yes you are.
[22:32] <kolby> I want all my applications to use just one of my soundcards.
[22:32] <odder> MilesCom: go to the hell
[22:32] <BCM43> x-ip: yes you are
[22:32] <brujo> kolby, why don't unload modules of one of them?
[22:32] <onetinsoldier> MilesCom: with apt-get? no.. -f means 'fix'
[22:32] <hischild> !attitude | odder
[22:32] <NicEXE> I changed a setting on compiz and I can no longer login using GNOME session (it crashes right after the desktop icons are displayed) is there any way to disable compiz on Gnome (probably) using Gnome failsafe (terminal)?
[22:32] <odder> MilesCom: forgot the ubuntu code of conduct?
[22:32] <kolby> brujo, that's not a permanent change right?
[22:32] <odder> hischild: heh, cool :/
[22:32] <fwaokda> XFCEntral, sorry for the wait someone was at the door... here is a screen shot the panel/bar is on the left. http://www.jeremyperson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/kevinrosedesktop.jpg
[22:33] <brujo> kolby, you can uninstall one card or remove modules from starting

[22:33] <XFCEntral> archan89: looks like this is the rt2870 thread -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766850
[22:33] <kolby> brujo, I'll try that.
[22:33] <ito> can anyone tell me where i can find the hibernate log in intrepid ibex?
[22:33]  * kolby uses lsmod
[22:33] <archan89> thanks, I'll check it out XFCEntral, brb :)
[22:33] <fwaokda> XFCEntral, is it just the mac osx dock aligned to the left of the screen? and if so will awn do that to the left of the screen?
[22:34] <alchemist22> i am adding the line 'ishan ALL
[22:34] <NicEXE> I changed a setting on compiz and I can no longer login using GNOME session (it crashes right after the desktop icons are displayed) is there any way to disable compiz on Gnome (probably) using Gnome failsafe (terminal)?
[22:34] <earthmeLon> I've got my server mounted through ssh/sftp and for a while I was able to download small files to it easily from Firefox.  Now, Firefox seems to crash whenever I save a file there.  I wasn't having this problem a while ago.  Any suggestions?
[22:34] <Alex-Hopper> WOW
[22:34] <odder> onetinsoldier: thanks for your help. I am bit puzzled about this, as I tried many other ways to fix the flash. Any ideas why the update of the flash broke it?
[22:34] <bluntz>  -f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place
[22:34] <bluntz>  This APT has Super Cow Powers
[22:35] <darkfuzion> some people i swear are arrogant
[22:35] <Flannel> darkfuzion: please take it elsewhere
[22:35] <alchemist22> i am adding the line 'ishan ALL:NOPASSWD ./reset_connection' where ishan is the user to my sudoers file and it doesnt work..any suggestions
[22:35] <odder> bluntz: hm. okay :-)
[22:35] <Flannel> alchemist22: You're the one with the poff/pon thing?
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> odder: no, not certain. but as far as i know, to get flash working properly in 64-bit userspace, you have to download the flash beta from adobe and manually  install it
[22:36] <bluntz> hehe always thought it was force...learnin alot just hangin here
[22:36] <XFCEntral> fwaoda: yes, you seem absolutely right. just a different allignment. AWN should be able to do the same
[22:36] <alchemist22> Flannel, yeah..sorry my internet has been giving me some problems..so i keep on disconnecting...sorry..
[22:36] <tiyowan> !flash64 > odder
[22:36] <Guest68914> hi
[22:36] <Flannel> alchemist22: No problem. Be sure to edit your sudoers with visudo (`sudo visudo`) and then the following lines will work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92440/
[22:36] <XFCEntral> archan89: no problem, let me know if that helps
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> odder: if it's working for then great. perhaps you have some kind of 32-bit wrapper installed or something
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> for you*
[22:36] <Flannel> alchemist22: Where user1, user2, user3 are the users you want to give access to, etc.
[22:37] <darkfuzion> flannel really cant you really get a life and just let someone say happy holidays
[22:37] <odder> tiyowan: I know how to install flash; I'm only thinking why the update broke the package in question
[22:37] <alchemist22> Flannel, ok thanx..ill give it a try..
[22:37] <MilesCom> darkfusion stop talking
[22:37] <Flannel> darkfuzion: If you have an issue with the administration of this channel, please take it to #ubuntu-ops
[22:37] <IdleOne> what is the path to java?
[22:37] <Flannel> IdleOne: type 'which java'
[22:37] <tiyowan> odder: My bad, mate. :)
[22:37] <darkfuzion> i dont have any issue it doesnt say anywhere that you cant be nice
[22:38] <odder> onetinsoldier: yeah, I've got ndiswrapper installed, nothing special, just the system-proposed way
[22:38] <onetinsoldier> odder: the installer script might have a bug or something
[22:38] <x-ip> i was i guess :S
[22:38] <odder> tiyowan: ok, no problem :-)
[22:38] <IdleOne> Flannel: trying to run a .sh and it is asking for the path to java. the script has /bin/java set as default
[22:38] <odder> onetinsoldier: maybe I'll fill a bug report, then? :-)
[22:38] <onetinsoldier> odder: or maybe you found a new bug
[22:38] <MilesCom> darkfuzion you're not being nice this issue is over, if you don't have something relevant to say don't say anything
[22:38] <Flannel> IdleOne: 'which java' will give you the path.  I don't know if itd be that, or /usr/bin/java, but which will let you know
[22:39] <nickrud> darkfuzion, you can discuss channel policy regarding profanity in #ubuntu-ops if you like
[22:39] <onetinsoldier> odder: the installer scripts are known as 'preinst' scripts
[22:39] <IdleOne> Flannel: lol I realised that after I explained. thanks
[22:39] <odder> onetinsoldier: ok, i'll look the launchpad over; maybe anyone else got the same problem. Anyway, thanks for the help :-)

[22:42] <alchemist22> Flannel, is there something conflicting here..
[22:42] <Rey> Hi all!!
[22:42] <Rey> anyone from Brazil?
[22:42] <Flannel> !br | Rey
[22:42] <Flannel> alchemist22: Please pastebin your sudoers, and I'll take a look
[22:43] <Rey> I dont need help yet!
[22:43] <alchemist22> Flannel, sure..although is pretty default
[22:43] <bluntz> anyone know why a shell script will work when ran in place but fail in cron?
[22:43] <cdavis> dovecot isn't starting at boot, what do I have to do to change that?
[22:43] <cdavis> Seems like a dpkg-reconfigure or something liek that?
[22:44] <XFCEntral> bluntz: permissions issue perhaps? also check that script is placed where cron can execute it. two things i can think of
[22:44] <Rey> Why the linux comand "shutdown" dont turn the machine off like the same comand in windows do?
[22:44] <alchemist22> Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/92443/
[22:45] <MilesCom> rey: dos is not unix
[22:45] <Halitech> Rey, you need to give it a time
[22:45] <cdavis> Rey, because windows isn't linux?
[22:45] <darkfuzion> linux and windows have different commands
[22:45] <Rey> i know
[22:45] <cdavis> Rey, shutdown -h
[22:45] <bluntz> mv to crons path,good id
[22:45] <NicEXE> GNOME does not start... How can I disable compiz using Gnome terminal? (metacity --replace does not work for me... is only a temporary setting that goes to default right after I logout)
[22:45] <Rey> i know that comand
[22:46] <cdavis> Rey, what is your question then
[22:46] <hischild> Rey, shutdown -h <time>
[22:46] <Flannel> alchemist22: put the user alias thing up where it says user alias.  And try making PPPOE all capitalized.    However the sudoers man page is extremely extensive (with examples), you maybe able to find what you're looking for there.
[22:46] <nickrud> cdavis, did you set it up? /usr/share/doc/dovecot* (one of those doc dirs) has a couple things you need to setup
[22:46] <bluntz> Im thinkin absolute paths in script prolly need set too
[22:46] <XFCEntral> bluntz: that could help
[22:46] <bluntz> lemmee c
[22:46] <Rey> this comand in linux just shutdown the system but the machine still runing
[22:46] <cdavis> nickrud, yes it runs fine but after a reboot I had to /etc/init.d/dovecot start
[22:46] <Flannel> alchemist22: Ah yeah, it may be the PPPoE thing, I think names need to be all capitalized
[22:46] <onetinsoldier> cdavis: i don't know much about dovecot, but is the script in /etc/init.d there?   ls /etc/init.d/dovecot
[22:47] <onetinsoldier> cdavis: ok. i see you got it
[22:47] <MilesCom> rey, you mean it's supended or hibernating
[22:47] <nickrud> cdavis, check /etc/rc2.d/* , see if dovecot is listed.
[22:47] <alchemist22> Flannel, ok...thanx for all the help...
[22:47] <Rey> in window otherwise the machine is really turned of
[22:47] <Jeaton> do most phones use fat32?
[22:47] <alchemist22> Flannel, lets hope it works...
[22:47] <Halitech> Rey, maybe it doesn't know to actually power off because of acpi or some other setting
[22:47] <Rey> suspend
[22:48] <nickrud> cdavis, stepping away for a few minutes, be back
[22:48] <cdavis> nickrud, yes it is there, that means it failed to start for some reason, I will check my logs. thanks
[22:48] <MilesCom> rey, can your system shutdown when you use the interface?
[22:49] <kolby>  I want to remove I module I'm using right now.  What file do I edit to make sure it's not loaded when I reboot?
[22:49] <alchemist22> Flannel, u were right...it worked...all i needed to do was to capitalize PPPOE..
[22:49] <onetinsoldier> cdavis: the 'update-rc.d' command might help you out. look at the man page for it
[22:49] <hischild> kolby, you add it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[22:49] <blaster> hi all
[22:49] <kolby> hischild, thanks
[22:49] <onetinsoldier> !welcome | blaster
[22:49] <tstaerk> hi, what do I do instead of chkconfig in ubuntu ?
[22:49] <blaster> anyone usig the acer aspire one?
[22:50] <NicEXE> GNOME does not start... How can I disable compiz using Gnome terminal? (metacity --replace does not work for me... is only a temporary setting that goes to default right after I logout)
[22:50] <Rey> maybe in next kernel the shutdown comand work like waited
[22:50] <MilesCom> blaster, the aspire one has a good config manual on the ubuntu wiki, if something isn't working
[22:51] <onetinsoldier> tstaerk: ubuntu does have chkconfig. you just need to install the chkconfig package
[22:52] <onetinsoldier> tstaerk: also see the 'update-rc.d' command
[22:52] <Reformer81> Does anyone know if it is possible to "Copy [a] track to collection" in Amarok 2? This was simple in Amarok 1, but seems missing in 2.0.

[22:52] <Rey> anyone from Brasil here?
[22:53] <mib_z8lrq4> how do i grant myself read and write permissions to an external drive?
[22:53] <un_dave> could someone tell me if it's possible to get my ubuntu laptop to sleep for a few hours, and then if i dont use it, it will auto hibernate? at the moment, it wont hibernate unltil the battery is critical.
[22:53] <testestes> mib_z8lrq4 : what kind of external drive you have
[22:54] <testestes> the format
[22:54] <NicEXE> is there any configuration file for compiz?
[22:54] <nibsa1242> Pulse/ audio will run just fine from the live cd or from a fresh Ibex install... but if I let the system update, I get no sound. Is there a way to copy the config to the live session to my existing install?
[22:54] <mib_z8lrq4> testestes: the partition is unalloacated
[22:55] <x-ip> Oh hai samferry!
[22:55]  * x-ip Waves at samferry
[22:55] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: Try going to System -> Admin -> Sounds and changing to ALSA?
[22:55] <testestes> so you have to format it first, i think
[22:55] <x-ip> Oh hai BoomShaka!
[22:55]  * x-ip Waves at BoomShaka
[22:55] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: System -> Pref. -> Sound, sorry.

[22:56]  * tiyowan thanks nickrud.
[22:56] <nibsa1242> tiyowan: I've done that. I suspect its a kernel issue, but I don't know for sure... Other people with the same 'card' (its a laptop) don't have the issue, but other people with Gateways and the same 'card' do have the issue.

[22:57] <nickrud> unop, no
[22:57] <zleap> did you put ./ before the file name when running
[22:58] <zleap> or what error are you getting exactly
[22:58] <dnyy> I .deb for linux mint will work just as fine for ubuntu, right?
[22:58] <BoomShaka> nope, let me try that
[22:58] <napnap> 1287 users ? no, this chan is never empty ... <:
[22:58] <unop> dnyy, there's no guarantee of that
[22:58] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: There's a really good thread on the forums related to pulseaudio...hang on.
[22:58] <nickrud> dnyy, possibly, possibly not.
[22:58] <BoomShaka> zleap, thanks seems to be running now
[22:58] <mib_z8lrq4> dnyy: linux mint is amazing
[22:58] <zleap> np
[22:58] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: hey, what format is your drive, and how are you trying to mount it ?
[22:58] <dnyy> unop: hrm, well the linux mint forums is the only place i can find an urban terror deb.  I'm not sure if it's made strictly for mint or not. :/
[22:58] <unop> dnyy, the packages on mint could be named differently - and satisifying them on ubuntu could prove difficult
[22:59] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: hey! the drive is unallocated formatt and I just plugged it into the computer and let it do the mounting
[22:59] <gverig> for gnome environment, what's the most standard (if there is such a thing) way to work with openGL/keyboard/etc? glut/sdl/other?
[22:59] <dnyy> unop: ah, well back to searching then. thanks. :p
[22:59] <jack--> stupid question: for upgrading from feisty to gutsy, is it sufficient to dl the gutsy-i386 iso? does that have an "upgrade" option?
[22:59] <unop> dnyy, you could always try manually installing the package to see if it works - that won't cause you damage
[22:59] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: so it's an unformatted drive?
[22:59] <ardchoille> dnyy: what are you searching for?
[22:59] <dnyy> ardchoille: The new Urban Terror, 4.1
[22:59] <zleap> yay i still got about 1 gb of my usage allowance left

[23:00]  * MatBoy hugs himself
[23:00] <MatBoy> !topic
[23:00] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: i think you'll find that if it's got any content, it must have a format. what OS did you use it on previously?
[23:00] <DasEi> !ot
[23:00] <ardchoille> When I run the Report A Problem app, it results in a message: "This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed". Is this a known issue? Is this supposed to be a gui app?
[23:00] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I used it as a backup drive for my mac
[23:01] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: i can take a screen for you if you want
[23:01] <MatBoy> DasEi: ?
[23:01] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ok, well it's likely its in osx format, or fat32 or something like that
[23:01] <DasEi> MatBoy:didn#t you search that trigger ?
[23:01] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: maybe but gparted just says unallocated
[23:02] <nibsa1242> tiyowan: thanks, I've followed one of those threads, but it didn't work. Maybe this is another one...
[23:02] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: if you type 'mount' at the command line, you should see the drive, and the format it is mounted as
[23:02] <MatBoy> DasEi: nope, I wanted to see the topic...
[23:02] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: can you access your files on there in read only mode?
[23:03] <mib_z8lrq4> http://mibbit.com/pb/BTHPnw un_dave the drive is read only, I can only view the files on the drive
[23:03] <mib_z8lrq4> also that paste is the result from the mount command un_dave
[23:03] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[23:04] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ok, that helps. you can see the last line of that? it tells youu that 'disk' is mounted as hfsplus. that's probably your drive. hfsplus is an osx format.
[23:05] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: alrighty, but what can i do with this?
[23:05] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: now, i'm not sure if your read only issue is a mount issue, or permissions. if you use your root account, can you copy anything onto the drive?
[23:06] <nibsa1242> tiyowan:  yeah that is the guide I found; I followed it and it still doesn't work
[23:06] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: well, I was wondering if I could create a new partition on the drive to store my data in while keeping the old data safe, is this possible?
[23:07] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: or is creating a new partition not even nessesary?
[23:07] <mib_z8lrq4> also, un_dave, if I run sudo or something in the term, i will be granted root access?
[23:07] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: you mite want to try something like 'su cp myfile.something /media/disk' with out the quotes.
[23:07] <nibbler> i need a webcam with full ubuntu/linux/skype support. any recommendations?
[23:07] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885437 <- Try this?
[23:07] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: you will, but only for that command
[23:07] <nickrud> !webcam
[23:08] <nickrud> nibbler, ^^
[23:08] <nibbler> great thanks nickrud
[23:08] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: replace myfile.something with a file you have in your current folder.
[23:09] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: well i was planning on transfering my music there and playing it with rythymbox, so as the command you gave might be able to help move the files, rythymbox won't have access to play them?
[23:09] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: if you can write to the hfs partition, creating a new partition is unnessisary. if you have to make a new partition, you'll prob need to resize the current one.
[23:09] <nibsa1242> tiyowan: ok, trying that I'll let you know how it goes
[23:09] <crow_> a friend of mine has ubuntu installed, but she can't get wireless internet on it. it says some drivers are missing. She can't get the drivers using Synaptic Package Manager cause wireless is the only way she can connect to internet. Can she download the drivers from another computer and transfer them to her ubuntu one and install them locally, and how? Thanks.

[23:12] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: no. i was just hoping to get you to test if you could write to the drive with your root account.
[23:12] <mib_z8lrq4> http://mibbit.com/pb/Ui3fu3 un_dave
[23:13] <alekhine36> i am fed up with this webcam issue.
[23:14] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ok, i think i see the issue. see the references to 99, and root in there? that means your current user probably doesnt have permissions to write to any of that.
[23:14] <quentusrex_> Hello, I have ubuntu hardy. I have my projector hooked up through hdmi. Every 5 seconds the screen with twitch. How do I get more info on the problem? It doens't happen all the time, just starts randomly when I wake up the box.
[23:14] <mib_z8lrq4> so what's the prognosis un_dave
[23:15] <e-head> Hey, I just plugged a USB drive into my system. Is something magical supposed to happen?
[23:15] <un_dave> two things to try. please run this command. 'sudo nautilus'
[23:15] <Leon> I've got an issue with LinuxMint, wich is based on Ubuntu. Today I installed LinuxMint over Ubuntu and although sleep always worked fine in Intrepid, it does not work in LinuxMint. On resume, the screen stays blank and nothing happens. Any ideas why that could be happening?
[23:15] <CoJaBo-Dell> quentusrex_: Is it just the projector screen that does it, and does it happen in the BIOS screen?
[23:15] <tiyowan> !mint > Leon
[23:16] <nickrud> Leon, I'm sure mint has a support system - this isn't it
[23:16] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: that should open you a copy of nautilus with root access. please be carefull in there, because you have full access to your files, and system files, and can break things!
[23:16] <mib_z8lrq4> Leon: i think you need to check your power settings
[23:16] <tiyowan> nickrud: Subtle. :)
[23:16] <onetinsoldier> e-head: not really. you'll probably need to mount the usb stick, as root, with the mount command first
[23:16] <alekhine36> media/video0 not present
[23:16] <alekhine36> but it was working yesterday
[23:16] <mib_z8lrq4> sorry un_dave didn't see what you said until now
[23:16] <Leon> There isn't much on in #linuxmint, so I thought I'd ask here...
[23:17] <dtolj> anybody know of a program/script that can do URL encoding?
[23:17] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: once nautilus has started, navigate to /media/disk, and see if you can create files, or copy files to the folder
[23:17] <eternaljoy> hello ladies
[23:17] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I am in the drive, and I get the option to open it as root, do I accept?
[23:18] <crow_> anyone please?
[23:18] <crow_> a friend of mine has ubuntu installed, but she can't get wireless internet on it. it says some drivers are missing. She can't get the drivers using Synaptic Package Manager cause wireless is the only way she can connect to internet. Can she download the drivers from another computer and transfer them to her ubuntu one and install them locally, and how? Thanks.
[23:18] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: you're using nautilus to view the folder /media/disk ?
[23:18] <mib_z8lrq4> correct un_dave
[23:18] <CoJaBo-Dell> crow_: Is it possiple to temporaritly connect by wired?
[23:18] <crow_> CoJaBo-Dell, no :(
[23:18] <tiyowan> crow_: Use a wire...oh.
[23:18] <crow_> if it was we would have solved that.
[23:18] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: yes, you should be able to view it as root
[23:19] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: can you see the files on there?
[23:19] <victor1> someone please help, i need help with my screen resolution
[23:19] <crow_> so can they be installed locally?
[23:19] <e-head> onetinsoldier: there isn't any sort of automount daemon in ubuntu?
[23:19] <Jeruvy> well this is hilarious.  switched the subnet mask to <IP_ADDRESS>, now I've got a fine Bcast address, a fine Mask address, but the IP is totally bogus
[23:19] <e-head> Or is it something I set up first.
[23:19] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: What IP arer you getting?
[23:19] <mn> back.  who was it that was helping me with cp partition1 partition2?
[23:19] <Jeruvy> <IP_ADDRESS>

[23:20] <eeboy> I am trying to access a remote machine via VNC but it's sitting at the GDE login prompt. Can I "log in" via the command line if I have a secure shell connection with that same box?
[23:20] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: i can view the files, but when I rigt click to create a new folder, "Create new folder" is grayed out, but there is an option that says to "open as root"
[23:20] <brohken> hey guys
[23:20] <onetinsoldier> e-head: yes. i believe it would auto-mount if the usb stick is added to your /etc/fstab file
[23:20] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: and all this is happening in natalius as a root
[23:20] <e-head> ahh. right.
[23:20] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Hmm....try setting a static ip?
[23:20] <e-head> how do I figure out what the device name is?
[23:20] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: that's odd. i dont have an option like that! and you should already be root!
[23:20] <e-head> would something pop up in one of the log files? Kernel log maybe.
[23:21] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: i am root, this is odd :(
[23:21] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: hehe where the heck is it getting this IP from :)
[23:21] <onetinsoldier> e-head: that means you  would need to manually edit the /etc/fstab file
[23:21] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ok. skip that. close nautilus.
[23:21] <victor1>  i just installed ubuntu, and my screen resolution is stuck at 640x480
[23:21] <quentusrex_> Hello, I have ubuntu hardy. I have my projector hooked up through hdmi. Every 5 seconds the screen with twitch. How do I get more info on the problem? It doens't happen all the time, just starts randomly when I wake up the box.
[23:21] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: try this 'sudo mkdir /media/disk/MyFolder'
[23:21] <victor1> can anyone please help
[23:21] <quentusrex_> How do I restart X from the command line?
[23:21] <adam7> quentusrex_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[23:21] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: !!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:21] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: I wrote earlier on...my instinct points to your router config, but it's a bit difficult to diagnose this problem from over here. :)
[23:21] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ? what
[23:21] <onetinsoldier> quentusrex_: or invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[23:22] <quentusrex_> adam7, onetinsoldier, will that restart my other applications or just X?
[23:22] <brohken> is there a script i can run to disable bluetooth on startup? on my laptop it just starts automatically. i can easily disable it by Fn+F5
[23:22] <brohken> and i dont want to disable it altogether either
[23:22] <adam7> quentusrex_: it will restart all GUI apps
[23:22] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: well for giggles I changed the router subnet mask to <IP_ADDRESS>, that was the only change
[23:22] <alekhine36> ls: cannot access /dev/video: No such file or directory
[23:22] <brohken> thats what im doing now
[23:22] <adam7> quentusrex_: you can't restart X without restarting everything that is running in X
[23:22] <quentusrex_> adam7, what about transcoding applications?
[23:22] <Slart> brohken: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop might do it
[23:22] <onetinsoldier> quentusrex_: everything
[23:22] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I right clicked, hit properties, went to the premissions tab and i can change the premissions from root to "jordan" which is me
[23:22] <adam7> quentusrex_: if it's running in X, it will restart
[23:22] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 <- To set static ip/gateway/mask. Backup your /etc/network/interfaces first, though.
[23:22] <adam7> quentusrex_: next time use screen to run your transcoding stuff
[23:22] <e-head> onetinsoldier: you have any idea what the device name would be?
[23:23] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: what makes no sense is why does this problem occur ONLY with LIVECD's?
[23:23] <e-head> for the purposes of mounting.
[23:23] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4:  that's great! that should give you access without being root
[23:23] <Slart> brohken: that will require a password though.. you could change that in the sudoers file if you really want to
[23:23] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: thats against our policy, the router handles all IP's. the livecd's cannot have static IP's
[23:23] <onetinsoldier> e-head: try and see if you can find it with the following command...  fdisk -l
[23:23] <Slart> brohken: or find something that is run as root already.. perhaps one of the rc.d scripts
[23:23] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: The installed Ubuntu versions work fine?
[23:24] <mib_z8lrq4> wait, I selected my name un_dave and it says the device is a read only file system....
[23:24] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: fine no issues
[23:24] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Clean installs without updates? Or with updates?
[23:25] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: well most of the machines have been running a while
[23:25] <nolimitsoya> any experiences with nordic telenor 3g broadband? im contemplating ubuntu for a friends machine, and would like to know beforehand if its doable
[23:25] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Maybe the LiveCD is fubar'ed on your particular NIC. You using same-brand NICs on all the boxes? Or mix of different vendors?
[23:25] <MatBoy> I already had the idea, but it's true that the 8.04 installer is faster than the 8.10 one
[23:26] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: laptops, desktops, servers, I've tried almost every box at my disposal, no luck.
[23:26] <mon^rch> so what happens when I recieve a death threat from somebody on this server?
[23:26] <CoJaBo-Dell> o_O
[23:26] <adam7> mon^rch: find a freenode staffer
[23:26] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Hmm. Maybe the LiveCDs fubar'ed with your particular router. Highly unlikely though. :)
[23:26] <onetinsoldier> mon^rch: i would try the #freenode channel
[23:27] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: well it's not out of the ballpark since we do have a twin-wan router
[23:27] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: sorry. lost connection there for a bit. did you get it working?
[23:28] <mib_8oomfc> mkdir -p is giving "No such file or directory"; but this only happens for mkdir a/b where a doesn't exist. Why would it happen with -p?
[23:28] <eternaljoy> un_dave, hello
[23:28] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I wish
[23:28] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Interesting problem though. Normally people's connects work fine off the LiveCD, then fubar. :) But it's the reverse in your case. I'd google for your brand of router; then maybe file a bug report.
[23:28] <smokeymirror> hey guys
[23:28] <un_dave> hello eternaljoy
[23:29] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: well, I found that the partition on the drive is read only, so no matter the premissions, the drive won't let me do anything, so I need to create a new parititon
[23:29] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: ya I'm thinking the same thing, it's certainly not specific to ubuntu tho.  I've tested now with 3 other livecd distros and the same problem
[23:29] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I booted up gparted with root and I am trying to figure out how to resize and create a new partition
[23:29] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: damn. ok. just let me do some quick research on the hfs thing.
[23:29] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: you are awesome btw
[23:29] <alekhine36> i dont understand how /dev/video is suddenly missing. my webcam was working till yesterday evening. could this be because of some new installation?
[23:29] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Oh? Well, if you can reproduce the bug on different distros then perhaps it's a kernel issue.

[23:32] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: thank you so much, I will read these
[23:32] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: you shouldnt have to create a new parttition, because ubuntu can write to hfs partitions fine. it just looks like it's having some issue mounting the drive. it could be dirty, which means it needs a filesystem check command.
[23:32] <mib_z8lrq4> happy holidays un_dave

[23:33] <FrozenFire> Would this be the appropriate channel for Wubi installer support?
[23:34] <Slart> FrozenFire: I don't know of a better place
[23:34] <KenBW22> is the BBC content in Intrepid's Totem the same as iPlayer?
[23:34] <eternaljoy> hello Fart,, oops. I mean Slart
[23:34] <Slart> eternaljoy: I'm laughing on the inside.. I promise..
[23:35] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: hello there, and merry christmas! so, how's Intrepid working out for you?
[23:35] <andresmh> how do I format my usb drive?
[23:35] <andresmh> usb pen drive
[23:35] <FrozenFire> In that case, would anyone know how to manually select the installation mirror during the Wubi install? My local mirror is _horribly_ slow (~15KB/s) as opposed to other major mirrors offering 300-500KB/s
[23:35] <nickrud> !wubi | FrozenFire, yep, although there's an ubuntu forum that is probably going to work better. Not many wubi users here. http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 often has good help, but delayed
[23:35] <eternaljoy> Slart, :-)
[23:35] <KenBW22> is the BBC content in Intrepid's Totem the same as iPlayer?
[23:35] <XFCEntral> KenBW22: its pretty extensive and runs a variety of genres. i stop at saying yes to your question, as I havent used BBCs iPlayer, but give the Totem plugin a try
[23:36] <MatBoy> damn, the 8.04 installer is much faster than the 8.10 :S weird !
[23:36] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier, i followed your steps and it installed and worked.. however, due to old laptop, it was really slow since upgrading to 8.10... so i installed 8.04 from fresh and now laptop runs quick again!  sorry to have wasted your time, you were really helpful and patient
[23:36] <KenBW22> XFCEntral: as far as i can tell, they're all just audio, not video streams
[23:36] <fwaokda> where do i go to set my default media player for video files?
[23:36] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Can't google anything up. Interesting problem though. *nix + twin wan support.
[23:37] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, sure is
[23:37] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: roger that. you're welcome. np about my time
[23:37] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, 8.10 was too slow for me, so I installed 8.04 again
[23:37] <fde> fwaokda: within the browser or via System > Preferences > Preferred Applications?
[23:37] <fwaokda> thanks fde
[23:37] <fde> fwaokda: Actually, it doesn't give video player in there... it used to
[23:38] <fwaokda> i did the multimedia option hopefully that helps... just wanted ubuntu to open vlc instead of totem thats all
[23:38] <fwaokda> hopefully what i did works
[23:38] <fde> Doesn't even list it in Nautilus, Edit > Preferences > Media for me... ugh, so idk
[23:38] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: well thanks for your input, I'll keep plugging away at it.
[23:38] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier, cheers big ears :-)
[23:39] <fde> fwaokda: it should

[23:41] <mib_8oomfc> checkinstall seems to be the problem.
[23:41] <mib_8oomfc> That is, the mkdir -p makes it barf, somehow.
[23:41] <atlef> ocRob: not his one
[23:42] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: I'm on the same road as you are, 8.10 is kinda buggy too
[23:42] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, yeah
[23:42] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: how come ?
[23:42] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, dont know
[23:42] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: kernel/audio and USB
[23:42] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, they try to release too quick
[23:43] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: I was afraid about it indeed
[23:43] <MatBoy> 8.04 was very good and still is
[23:43] <Halitech> eternaljoy, MatBoy Ubuntu is trying to make things too easy by putting more and more things into the kernel so it ends up being slower and a little buggy
[23:44] <mib_z8lrq4> how can I unmount a volume via command line?
[23:44] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: I hope they don't go the Debian way because of that
[23:44] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: indeed, installed 8.04 and fast and smooth boot @

[23:44] <Halitech> mib_z8lrq4, umount /dev/sdXX
[23:44] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, they dont have long to build and realse new releases.. rush job,,, many bugs

[23:44] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, trying tio make 8.10 to fancy at the expense of stability
[23:45] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: true, and 8.04 doesn't have any HDA issues :)

[23:45] <MatBoy> Halitech: debian was 2 years ago releasing packages for the distro too fast... MD, kernel all buggy... I moved to Ubuntu because Ubuntu saw their problems and wanted stability
[23:45] <mib_z8lrq4> but I really need some help
[23:45] <Ademan> erm, I know there are a fair number of daemons that duplicate so that one watches over the other, however, i have two instances of smbd and winbindd and that doesn't seem necessary, am I supposed to have two instances of each?
[23:45] <mib_z8lrq4> if anyone can help me please

[23:46] <mib_z8lrq4> I can't right to a hts+ drive for some reason, even as root
[23:46] <Ademan> mib_z8lrq4: i'm pretty sure no one besides apple knows how to write to hfs+
[23:47] <Halitech> MatBoy, ok, was about the time I started using Ubuntu but I moved to Debian about 4 months ago as I find it more stable then ubuntu was it runs faster and cooler then ubuntu did on the same hardware
[23:47] <mib_z8lrq4> well Ademan do you know how to resize a partition in gparted?
[23:47] <mib_z8lrq4> nvm Ademan
[23:48] <Diiphantom> how can i play .xvo files?
[23:48] <Jeruvy> MatBoy: I think they slowed down ;)

[23:49] <adam7> garnol: remove it?
[23:49] <Ademan> garnol: system->preferences->appearance go to "visual effects" select "None"
[23:49] <MatBoy> Jeruvy: yes, for servers it's OK, but you can't compare a WS to a server
[23:49] <MatBoy> Halitech: ^^
[23:49] <Luomeng> does anyone know how to enable backport respitory?
[23:49] <Jeruvy> MatBoy: you're very correct :)

[23:50] <MatBoy> it just works
[23:50] <atlef> garnol: metacity --replace
[23:50] <eternaljoy> yep
[23:50] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: have you tried an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 ? I have seen issues with people and the latest kernel and LVM
[23:50] <Ademan> Luomeng: you can do it through synaptic if you go to settings->repositories
[23:51] <Luomeng> okay
[23:51] <Luomeng> tyvm
[23:51] <Ademan> no problem
[23:51] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, yes did upgrade, but laptop went really slow... had to reinstall 8.04
[23:51] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: man, I saw the same, even booting is slow
[23:51] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, now its running fast again with 8.04
[23:51] <mib_z8lrq4> can someone please help me copy files to a hts+ external hdd? any ideas Ademan
[23:51] <garnol> How can i tell my firefox that i want the whole website to be loaded when it displays it?

[23:52] <eternaljoy> garnol, what?
[23:52] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, :-)
[23:52]  * MatBoy hugs eternaljoy
[23:52] <Halitech> MatBoy, I guess I look at what I can get debian to run on compared to Ubuntu and it seems to me Debian is better for what I need it on
[23:52] <garnol> I want my firefox to load everything before it shows me the page
[23:52] <MatBoy> Halitech: debian is easier for servers than ubuntu...
[23:52] <MatBoy> I agree
[23:52] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, hugs are good lol

[23:57] <fiber> hello... i'm having an odd problem... when i try changing gnome settings (namely resolution), and it asks me to authenticate it always fails... login/sudo/gksudo work perfectly so i'm not really sure what the problem is (or what package it is using to try to authenticate!)... does anyone have any solutions/recommendations?
[23:57] <Ademan> adam7: no
[23:57] <goph> !whoami

[23:58] <cehr> I want to upgrade this old computer from gutsy, but it's only a 10gb harddrive.  would it be better to use the built-in upgrader, or just backup my home folder and reinstall to hardy/intrepid?  are there any advantages one has over the other?
[23:58] <adam7> Ademan: I have about 6 firefox processes with the same memory usage and different pids and I think they are different threads for the same process
[23:59] <Ademan> MiniF: no resources around?
[23:59] <eternaljoy> goph, did tell Fart to have a good one? :)
[23:59] <KenBW22> Ademan: i tried that, i think it caused some problems, unless im wring
