[00:00] <edbian> Broseph: you already did?  run this: sudo modprobe b43
[00:00] <gsfai> ill make an easier question
[00:01] <Broseph> edbian: I tried that before, should I restart networking now?
[00:01] <BanEvading> DCC SEND start keylogger 0 0 0
[00:01] <gsfai> how can i find out which file arecord reads from?
[00:01] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information.
[00:01] <edbian> Broseph: You could also restart networking.  sudo service networking restart
[00:01] <pfifo> k-lined lol
[00:01] <edbian> Broseph: Or the whole machine.
[00:01] <edbian> Broseph: You seem to have a good handle on what you're doing!  :)
[00:02] <Broseph> trying the reboot, I hope it magically works now
[00:02] <Broseph> brb in 5, thanks for the help though - hope to find you around when I get back
[00:02] <edbian> Broseph: inserting the module (b43), restarting network, and restarting the entire machine should all have the same affect.
[00:03] <edbian> Broseph: see you soon
[00:03] <Wicked> hello all. how do i get evolution to download all my mail form gmail?>
[00:04] <cobra-the-joker> Hey there every one ... Is the LTS for servers only or i can use it on my laptop ?
[00:04] <xangua>  Wicked go to gmail and enable pop or imap, the one that you like more
[00:04] <edbian> cobra-the-joker: You can use the LTS on anything you want.
[00:04] <xangua> cobra-the-joker: ubuntu is for desktops and servers
[00:04] <cobra-the-joker> Good
[00:04] <cobra-the-joker> LTS then
[00:04] <Xubuntunoob> i want to install qpspmanager but i dont know how to build from source
[00:05] <Wicked> xangua, ive done that...evolution can connect to gmail..and it downloaded some of my mail...but not all of it...i want evolution to download everything in my "All mail" section of gmail
[00:05] <bob__> also need to make sure, when assigning a router port to also remember to use noshut command and save config to start or it will revert to startup config when you reboot it
[00:05] <Xubuntunoob> is there any .deb  for powerpc ubuntu??
[00:05] <xangua> Wicked: do you use imap¿
[00:05] <Wicked> xangua, i have been using pop
[00:05] <Wicked> but i am looking into changing it to imap
[00:06] <Xubuntunoob> can someone help pls
[00:06] <Logan_> !please | Xubuntunoob
[00:06] <rcmaehl> LOLWUT!? FF1 in wine being faster than FF4.  Is this ubuntu's fault?
[00:06] <xangua> imap is better for what you want, keeps your webmail and desktop mail sync Wicked
[00:06] <xangua> !ot | rcmaehl
[00:06] <Wicked> hmm ok
[00:07] <Xubuntunoob> !repeat
[00:07] <Xubuntunoob> i did
[00:08] <virusuy> hi all
[00:08] <Xubuntunoob> searched google like 3 times
[00:08] <Xubuntunoob> and the forums
[00:09] <pfifo> Xubuntunoob, yes of course there are .deb files for Ubuntu power pc.
[00:09] <Xubuntunoob> pfifa   is there any .deb files for qpspmanager?
[00:10] <Wicked> hmm....its still not download all my mail
[00:10] <Broseph> back
[00:10] <pfifo> Xubuntunoob, I dont know, but if you look in the repo's and don't see it, and then look on the projects site, and still do not see any, then there is a good chance that there are not.
[00:11] <Broseph> edbian: no dice, I should mention that I've setup wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces and I've got it setup in wpa_supplicant as well, should I undo those changes?
[00:11] <edbian> Broseph: I need the output of dmesg again.
[00:11] <Xubuntunoob> pfifa wheres the projects site??
[00:11] <edbian> Broseph: and, while you're at it.  pastebin /etc/network/interfaces in their as well
[00:13] <Belial`> has anyone had any luck getting switchable graphics for nvidia working yet?
[00:13] <Belial`> using an acer with a geforce gt 420m.
[00:13] <pfifo> Xubuntunoob, youll have to ask google that
[00:13] <Logan_> !google | pfifo
[00:13] <culb> Results for | pfifo on Google:
[00:13] <culb> --
[00:13] <Logan_> culb: please turn that script off
[00:13] <Broseph> edbian: dmesg - http://pastebin.com/23CdaLMr, interfaces - http://pastebin.com/k8D9fWeZ, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf - http://pastebin.com/ixqyQRua
[00:14] <pfifo> thankyou Logan_
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: http://ernolf.blogdns.net/tiki-view_blog_post.php?blogId=3&postId=4
[00:15] <edbian> Broseph: The dmesg output is still saying that the firmware is missing.  Can you run this: sudo apt-get purge b43-fwcutter  and this sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter and pastebin everything it says?  The interfaces file will probably mess with things but I'm not worried about that so we'll leave it for now.
[00:15] <philipp_> RewriteRule style.css style.php
[00:15] <philipp_> does not work -.-
[00:15] <Broseph> edbian: network is wpa2-personal with AES encryption PSK, but I imagine it doesn't really matter if those settings are correct as long as I can't even do an iwlist scan
[00:15] <edbian> Broseph: Make sure the Ubuntu machine is online especially for the second command.
[00:15] <Broseph> edbian: 1 second
[00:15] <gsfai> Why is my system always configured somehow else that the usual systems, so nobody can help me?
[00:16] <edbian> Broseph: yes. that is exactly right.  iwlist scan should work
[00:17] <Mahjongg> hello, at some point I have locked the php version that I have on my system. I do not need that lock anymore and I have unlocked them and upgraded to the latest. Now When I do apt-get dist-upgrade apt wants to downgrade those packages... What am I missing ehre?
[00:18] <Broseph> edbian: http://pastebin.com/tPAtP7HC
[00:18] <edbian> Broseph: What does it do after 'setting up b43-fwcutter ...'  ?
[00:19] <Broseph> that was it, just returned be back to shell basically
[00:19] <philipp_> heeeeeeeello? someone know what i am doing wrong?
[00:19] <philipp_> RewriteRule style.css style.php
[00:19] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, i assume that works on more than just vaios?
[00:19] <philipp_> i did it in the httpd.conf
[00:19] <philipp_> RewriteRule style.css style.php
[00:19] <edbian> Broseph: I'm reading here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware  what card is yours again.  (check using sudo lspci)
[00:20] <philipp_> but it does not work
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: not sure, I don't buy dual video chip nonesense, give it a go
[00:20] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, that nonesense is pretty much the future of laptops.
[00:20] <philipp_> anyone?
[00:20] <Belial`> that's the problem with not having support for linux.
[00:20] <philipp_> come on!
[00:21] <Logan_> !please | philipp_
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: if GPUs can clock up and down like regular CPUs, its a much sleeker solution
[00:21] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, they can. but onboard solutions still use less power than a dedicated gpu with power management.
[00:21] <Broseph> edbian : 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
[00:21] <Broseph> 02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: its as smart as having 2 CPUs in the system, 1 fast and 1 slow....
[00:21] <Broseph> bcm4318
[00:22] <edbian> Broseph: This is a bcm4318.
[00:22] <edbian> yeah
[00:22] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, that's actually a terrible analogy.
[00:22] <edbian> Broseph: Fully supported.
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: why, they are both processing units, one is justfor graphics
[00:22] <edbian> Broseph: Let's see if you can manually place the firmware in /lib/firmware/b43
[00:22] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, so you're saying nvidia, intel, amd, and ati
[00:22] <Belial`> (which is amd)
[00:23] <philipp_> Logan_ well you guys know the answer... you just dont tell me...
[00:23] <Belial`> are wasting their time?
[00:23] <Belial`> because their dedicated solutions are just as good downclocked
[00:23] <Broseph> edbian: alright, do you have the link to the firmware on hand?
[00:23] <edbian> Broseph: I'm trying to find it
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: no, they should make their units clock up and down just like CPUs do, saves users having to manually change their video chip manually, the system can detect the speed needed (just like cool n quiet) and use more or less power automatically
[00:24] <j5> hi, i have trouble with firefox 4 and flash-- theres lots of weird flickering and white blocks and bad mouse interactiveness, any ideas?
[00:24] <Belial`> ActionParsnip,  they do. it's called power management. something the opensource drivers don't have.
[00:24] <Bilz> hello. trying to work my mic on my acer 5738 laptop. i got it to work now but its really noisy ( i can hear my recordings... ) any ideas? trying to play around with alsakmixer but not really sure what i need to play around with in it
[00:24] <Belial`> but even with power management it still uses more juice than onboard.
[00:25] <Broseph> Step 2.On a computer with Internet access, download the required firmware files from http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o and http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.bz2
[00:25] <Broseph> from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[00:25] <indrajeet> how to download ubuntu tweak?
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: then they should invest more into power management so it uses less
[00:25] <indrajeet>  how to download ubuntu tweak?
[00:25] <xangua> indrajeet: go to ubuntu tweak web and read the instructions
[00:25] <Xubuntunoob> i was wondering how to download ubuntu tweak too
[00:26] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, you have no clue what you're talking about.
[00:26] <oasisTopher> Hi, I have 10.04 Desktop 64bit.  I installed apcupsd and installed it at the following page, but it still says "error contacting..""..Connection refused : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/apcupsd
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: the switching thing is a cheap workaround
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> indrajeet: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[00:26] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, clock speeds aren't everything. they'd have to literally cripple the hardware to do that.
[00:26] <edbian> Broseph: Did you see the blue screen asking about firmware?
[00:26] <ingi> I have a proplem w/ pksc 11 not login in ff4!!! plz help
[00:26] <edbian> Broseph: Try installing: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx
[00:26] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, maybe you need to read up a little more.
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: its a cheap workaround, but if companies will support it then it's fine
[00:27] <Broseph> edbian - no, no blue sreen
[00:28] <Broseph> no bcm43xx package found
[00:28] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, cpu makers are giving their cpus integrated graphics, graphic makers are making dedicated cpus and writing drivers to switch to the onboard gpus to save battery life. that's a cheap workaround opposed to crippling the dedicated hardware and nullifying the entire point of dedicated hardware?
[00:28] <Belial`> i'm sorry, dedicated gpus*
[00:29] <ingi> An error occurred during a connection to umsoknir.audkenni.is.
[00:29] <ingi> PKCS#11 token was inserted or removed while operation was in progress.
[00:29] <ingi> (Error code: ssl_error_token_insertion_removal) can sobody help plz?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: what if you want something in between, do we need 3 GPUs?
[00:29] <aruns> hi someoen here was helping me with my sound configuration and recommeded i install some generic drivers. but now x won't start and it throws me straight to the console login.
[00:29] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, that makes no sense...
[00:30] <Belial`> there is no in between.
[00:30] <aruns> dmesg doesnt have anything, but trying to run startx, says nvidia module not found.
[00:30] <edbian> Broseph: There is a bug in the b43-fwcutter package.  I'm reading.
[00:30] <Belial`> it works 100% perfect on windows and osx
[00:30] <Broseph> edbian: oh noes! link?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: and what if you need more, do we turn on and use all 3?
[00:30] <philipp_> where do i create the /.htaccess file?
[00:30] <daanish> can someone help me remember how 'what is the best...' worked here?
[00:30] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, that's what sli is for.
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: thats because of the support, Linux doesn't get the same love
[00:30] <Belial`> or crossfire
[00:30] <Wicked> can anyone help me make it so that evolution downloads everything from my gmail account including my "all mail" folder on gmail?
[00:31] <edbian> Broseph: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx  go waaay down to install b43- No INternet Access
[00:31] <Wicked> i cannot figure out how
[00:31] <daanish> what is the best
[00:31] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, i know. it sucks. because i'd rather use linux. but unfortunately, my laptop is being wasted right now. it's a shame.
[00:31] <xangua> Wicked: use imap, already told you
[00:31] <Wicked> xangua, i now am.
[00:31] <Belial`> nvidia doesn't want to support it on linux and x.org developers don't want to make it work either.
[00:31] <Wicked> xangua, and its *still* not
[00:31] <edbian> Broseph: And, can you show me what is in /lib/firmware/b43/   ?
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: moan to the manufacturers, they may get enoughh voices and support it
[00:32] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, moaning to them means nothing when x.org won't implement it.
[00:32] <Broseph> yes
[00:32] <ThatGuyOverThere> Is there any way that I can change my mouse gestures?
[00:32] <Wicked> xangua, when i hit send/receive in evolutin it pops up and says "scanning folders in<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:32] <ThatGuyOverThere> Tapping with two fingers on my mousepad used to middle-click and three fingers used to be right click. Now they're switched.
[00:32] <Wicked> but it is not downloading all my messages
[00:33] <Broseph> edbia: does not exist..
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: well if you won't make moves to improve the issue, you can't complain
[00:33] <xangua> it will take a while, depending of the amount of data you have Wicked
[00:33] <kernalzero> I'm building an atom webserver for my home...great right... I'm new to server operating systems.  would you suggest I install ubuntu desktop then virtualize an install of ubuntu server? or just throw ubuntu server on the new server box and go?
[00:33] <Rodolfo> bad experience with U10.04. Still experiencing HICS
[00:33] <edbian> Broseph: I figured.  Follow the direction for b43 - no internet access   (how annoying is this?!)
[00:34] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, there's nothing i can do. x.org won't don't it. period. neither will nvidia. there's petitions, emails, etc. it's not happening.
[00:34] <oasisTopher> anyone configure apcupsd?
[00:34] <Belial`> not any time soon.
[00:34] <Broseph> edbian: will do and report back :)
[00:34] <Wicked> xangua, since i setup imap(before i ate dinner..so at least 20 mins) it has not downloaded a single new message
[00:34] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, so again, you don't make sense.
[00:34] <edbian> Broseph: You can skip step 1
[00:34] <xangua> ThatGuyOverThere: i use easyestrock for mousegestures
[00:34] <Kaie`> ActionParsnip, you speak garbage.
[00:35] <ThatGuyOverThere> xangua: Thanks. I'll give it a try.
[00:35] <philipp_> where the hell do i have to write my /.htaccess to enable mod_rewrite?
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: if you sit in a corner and moan that stuff doesn't work or stuff isn't how you like it and make zero change then its pretty poor. If you get up and make changes and try and make things better then things may change, they may not
[00:36] <Bilz> hello. trying to work my mic on my acer 5738 laptop. i got it to work now but its really noisy ( i can hear my recordings... ) any ideas? trying to play around with alsakmixer but not really sure what i need to play around with in it
[00:36] <Belial`> ActionParsnip, make what changes? i think you have no clue what you're talking about. i've emailed nvidia, i've signed petitions, i've tried hacks. nothing.
[00:36] <Belial`> so what do you mean?
[00:36] <ingi> (Error code: ssl_error_token_insertion_removal) can sobody help plz?
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Belial`: that sort of thing, yes
[00:36] <Belial`> ....ok, i'm done talking to you
[00:36] <Belial`> christ
[00:36] <bfbruno> tem algum brasileiro ai?

[00:40] <oasisTopher> OK, I found it using lsusb.  is there an option on the command line?  for instance on older versious you could cat /proc.... and it would tell you something like Driver=hid or Driver=none
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> visual1ce: you need to reassociate opening folders with nautilus
[00:40] <oasisTopher> I mean an option of lsusb that will tell the driver commanding the device

[00:55] <blue112> g'night ubunteros
[00:56] <philipp_> you guys are useless... i try to find somewhere else help -.-
[00:57] <xangua> truepurple: and are you sure  you have administrator provileges¿
[00:57] <laanan> can anyone help me get my acer aspire one to work with ubuntu netbook: specifically, wifi? It doesn't seem to recognize it. I am dualbooting with win7
[00:57] <V33X> why do Linux drivers need the Linux kernel source to install on Linux
[00:57] <induz> ActionParsnip, -thesaurus-en-us is installed
[00:58] <induz> but can i setup to right click?
[00:58] <truepurple> xangua: I installed it, why would it install without anyone being given administrator privileges?
[00:59] <edbian> Broseph: hurray!
[00:59] <edbian> Glad I could help
[00:59] <truepurple> xangua: If I don't have administrator priviledges, no one does.
[00:59] <V33X> why do Linux drivers need the Linux kernel source to install on Linux?
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> induz: that's all I can suggest dude sorry
[01:00] <Broseph> edbia: thanks so much, if you want the askubuntu rep: http://askubuntu.com/questions/32289/activating-wireless-drivers-in-cli
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> V33X: so you can compile the driver, it needs to know how to talk to the kernel. it will also be only compiled for that kernel
[01:00] <Broseph> edbian: otherwise I'll answer it lol
[01:00] <induz> hello
[01:00] <xangua> V33X: because the drivers are on the kernel
[01:00] <V33X> OK, thanks :)
[01:01] <nerdy_kid> for some reason my ambiance menus are white instead of dark gray.

[01:12] <induz> how can i use extension on OOffice... i dont see it on tool?
[01:13] <vatzec> Hey :-) I'm using the newest stable version of Ubuntu and I'm using the ambiance theme (the one with the window buttons on the left by default), however what annoys me is that there is no window icon displayed in this theme. Is there any way I can fix it while still using this theme? It's very cool.
[01:14] <vatzec> "New Wave" (another bundled theme) does display icons by default
[01:14] <ThomasB2k> vatzec
[01:14] <vatzec> Yep?
[01:14] <NeT_DeMoN> Hi, is there anyone who can assist me in a chroot install of ubuntu?
[01:14] <ThomasB2k> Vatzec, a program called Ubuntu Tweak allows you to add the icon back and do a lot of other cool stuff as well
[01:14] <vatzec> Oh. Do you know what exactly it does to put the icon back in?
[01:15] <vatzec> I'd rather do that manually :-)
[01:15] <jofdko> hi, i'm trying to set up my printer and I get this: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'. What/s up?
[01:16] <pfifo> NeT_DeMoN, what exactly is the trouble?
[01:16] <fermulator> Anyone in here familiar with mdadm?   I'm getting a really slow RAID6 fresh build (new array creation) -- only 13MB/s  -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10608656#post10608656
[01:17] <RealOpty> anyone have some suggestions for HDMI audio with nvidia card?
[01:17] <NeT_DeMoN> pfifo: I just need an updated walkthrough for an idiot, I tried the article but it got me no where.
[01:17] <anoob> can i watch a flash stream with vlc? (http://www.redetv.com.br/aovivo)
[01:17] <induz> how can i install WirWib extension for OO it says Java impletmentaion error
[01:18] <pfifo> NeT_DeMoN, Im not sure if debootstrap is appropriate for an idiot, is there any reason your not doing a normal install?
[01:18] <NeT_DeMoN> pfifo: I don't have any cds or usb flash drives.
[01:18] <philipp_> it just does not work
[01:19] <philipp_> i followed 5 toturials how to enable mod_rewrite in perl
[01:19] <vatzec> I was hoping it's one of the things I can do in gconf-editor
[01:19] <philipp_> did what all tuts wanted
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> induz: do you have java installed?
[01:21] <induz> i guess so
[01:21] <pfifo> NeT_DeMoN, well, i learned how to chroot install by doing the LiveCD customization guide, but before I even started I knew all the ins and outs of building a working linux system. I am not sure if there is a up to date guide, but if you understand the process and know what the commands your running actually do, a walkthrough shouldnt be needed
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> induz: check, then in tools -> options make sure java is selected there
[01:22] <Ig0r> hi boys:) anyone to help me pls? i want to scan my local network for "mac address"
[01:22] <joentjuh> Hi, can anyone help me with a wireless+hibernation issue? - When I disable wireless in NetworkManager, it's always reanabled after hibernation (I want it to keep the state from before, or disabled).
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> Ig0r: nmap can do that
[01:23] <joentjuh> Ig0r: sudo nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>-254 (match IP to your network)
[01:23] <Ig0r> tnx all :)
[01:23] <paperclip11> hello, is it possible to take ubuntu certified professional certification exam without having previous LPI's?
[01:23] <pfifo> NeT_DeMoN, gentoo is pretty much made to be installed via chroot, its processes are well documented and upto date whereas doing the same in ubuntu is a rare task and not many have a good reason to do it. perhaps you should look into gentoo
[01:24] <acidblue> just installed znc bouncer, but whois still shows my ip ??
[01:25] <meLon> How come I can refer to some of my ubuntu installations over the network as their hostname (http, ssh, etc) but sometimes I cannot?
[01:25] <induz> ActionParsnip, after tool--.Option---> where?
[01:26] <pfifo> acidblue, did you install znc on your local machine?
[01:26] <Ig0r> joentjuh: how to scan for mass ip xx.xxx.11.1 to xxx.xxx.xxx.22.254
[01:26] <Robert__> does anyone have diaspora invites ? I would like to get one but still waiting after some months..
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> induz: the java lie..... I thought that was clear....

[01:27] <Robert__> sorry, wrong window!
[01:27] <Snooter> I want to build a streamlined ubuntu to run from a pendrive. It needs to boot on various hardware and then run my perl backup script. No GUI/CUPS/etc required.  I'm building a ubuntu server onto a 32GB  pendrive now. Can anyone think of a better way?
[01:28] <Auriga> Hello, startup quesiton...? I have been playing with Arch of late, & there is a whole load of .xinitrc editing, where is the comparable file in Ubuntu?
[01:28] <pfifo> Snooter, your doing it right
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Snooter: could use minimal iso then remaster it, add what you need
[01:28] <gizmobay> Can someone tell me how to add a password to a pdf file? I can't see how in PDFedit.
[01:28] <acidblue> yes I installed on local machine
[01:29] <acidblue> pfifo yes
[01:29] <pfifo> acidblue, then freenode is going to see you local machine connecting via its IP address
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> gizmobay: pdftk may be able to password protect
[01:30] <shcherbak> gizmobay: Use rar with password.
[01:30] <acidblue> pfifo, DOH!
[01:30] <vatzec> ThomasB2k: Ubuntu Tweak is cool, but unfortunately, it doesn't allow me to add icons to window title bars in Ambiance :(
[01:30] <vatzec> Only move the buttons.
[01:31] <gizmobay> I don't think the person I'm sending the file could handle rar
[01:31] <acidblue> pfifo, so I have to install on seperate PC ?
[01:31] <Ig0r> joentjuh: sorry i want to say xx.10.1 to xx.15.224
[01:32] <pfifo> acidblue, you need to rent a VPS/dedicated server with a static IP address, purchase a domain name, and ask your (dedi's) ISP to set reverse DNS lookups to match your forward DNS for thee domain name... then install znc on that server
[01:32] <BabyGirl> is there a imagebin plugin for nautilus also,i have pastebin :)
[01:32] <pfifo> or just rent a BNC from someone who already did this
[01:33] <acidblue> pfifo, thanks,  I suppose I could use a shell acount instaed/
[01:33] <xangua> BabyGirl: there are lots of scripts on gnome-look.org
[01:33] <truepurple> How do you change resolution in ubuntu?

[01:37] <meLon> nbtscan is showing all of my computers with samba installed.  I am able to access all but one of them through their HOSTNAME.  I am trying to figure out why this one is not able to be refered to by it's hostname.  Any suggestions?
[01:37] <truepurple> how can I install flash on ubuntu?
[01:38] <xangua> truepurple: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[01:39] <Snooter> meLon: Is it on the same network segment or routed?
[01:39] <truepurple> Do I need a internet connection for this to work?
[01:40] <meLon> Yes.  Snooter it's really simple setup.  I can ping COMPUTER1 and COMPUTER2 but COMPUTER3 will not respond.  (I can ping ANYTHING by ip, I'm taalking about hostnames).  It is unaware of a computer with the hostname COMPUTER3
[01:40] <meLon> I am not sure what packages I need installed Snooter, or if I need a windows computer as a server or what :P

[01:41] <Yomatias> hello
[01:41] <pfifo> hi
[01:41] <ariel_> I have a small issue, after updating my drivers on ubuntu to the nvideo drivers, after the reboot looks good works fine, but my power icon at the top left is gone, any way to get this back?
[01:41] <Snooter> meLon: My thought was it was using broadcasts to resolve the names to IP addresses and a router was blocking the traffic for COMPUTER3.
[01:41] <fermulator>  meLon: in order to ping windows hostnames, you need winbind.   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1496488
[01:42] <fermulator> meLon: of course, as per that link, it can slow down DNS resolution
[01:42] <pfifo> ariel_, right click the panel, and add to panel, the shutdown applet
[01:43] <Kamenu> i'm having problems with missing screen resolutions, can someone please help me with this dilemna?
[01:43] <meLon> fermulator, Snooter .  All computers have winbind installed
[01:43] <fermulator> meLon: what's in /etc/nsswitch.conf though?  You need "wins" in there
[01:43] <ariel_> pfifo: that works, t/y but it's not quite the same as before.
[01:44] <meLon> fermulator, that would only need to be on the CLIENT/ping'er correct?  I haven't made any modifications to that file on any pc and I can still ping them
[01:44] <StepNjump> Hi guys, does any one know of a good proxy server I could be running off my Ubuntu desktop?
[01:44] <fermulator> meLon: indeed, only on client.  The defaults DO NOT include "wins", so you have to add it if you want to be able ping/resolve Windows hostnames.
[01:44] <fidyduce> so i did the most recent update and now all of my stuff seems to be running laggy is there something with the most recent update?
[01:45] <pfifo> StepNjump, define 'good' squid is the fullest featured, but configuration will take you days to understand
[01:45] <meLon> Well, I can resolve some of them already fermulator.  There is a specific computer that isn't playing nicely.  I'll make that modification, though
[01:45] <spirals> StepNjump, consider Privoxy
[01:45] <fermulator> meLon: this is a standard home network right? (workgroup, home networking), not active directory
[01:47] <StepNjump> Ok thanks pfifo and spirals, I am trying to allow my friends to have access to some US based websites. They live in a different country and would like to listen to some good music. Is it feasible with those?
[01:47] <pfifo> StepNjump, squid will do that
[01:47] <spirals> StepNjump, yeah that's a heavy duty application that Squid would be more applicable to
[01:48] <StepNjump> oh ok great thanks guys. I appreciate it
[01:48] <spirals> StepNjump, just make sure you secure the heck out of it or the entire world will be browsing US youtube on it.
[01:49] <[thor]> Hello there, i am using ubuntu 10.10, and i would like to create a custom launcher in my games menu. I wish to launch a file called 'brogue' which is, according to ' file brogue ' is: brogue: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped.  Now, when i create a new launcher, and point it to the brogue file, nothing happens. When i wish to r
[01:49] <[thor]> un it from a command line, i need to type ' ./brogue ' while i am in the proper folder. tl;dr::: How do i create a launcher in the Applications -> Games menu that launches ./brogue ?
[01:49] <meLon> fermulator, not 100% sure what you mean.  I just installed samba on the machines.  I can access some of them by hostname.  I cannot access one by the hostname
[01:49] <pfifo> StepNjump, if everyone involved is running linux, ssh's -D option will be quick and efficient
[01:49] <StepNjump> spirals, yes I figured! Is it hard to secure it well for someone who is not familiar with those? Should I put up a firewall?
[01:49] <meLon> fermulator, I just have a bunch of ubuntu machines and one windows machine (that is my brother's)
[01:49] <StepNjump> Yes I was planning to run ssh
[01:50] <fermulator> meLon: as I re-read that post I sent you, I recall now that winbind is /not/ the answer (even if it might work).  Apparently any system with samba installed, should properly handle netBIOS name resolution now
[01:50] <spirals> StepNjump, as long as you don't allow anonymous/open connections, that's the key
[01:50] <fermulator> meLon: capscrew has some good details in that thread
[01:50] <StepNjump> awsome ok!
[01:51] <spirals> StepNjump, otherwise you'll end up on those big lists of 'free proxies', and some guy will come into this channel and complain that he can't attack another server via ssh with your proxy, or something ;)
[01:51] <induz> has anyone used WritersTools for OOffice??
[01:52] <induz> its installed but i dont know how to use it
[01:52] <meLon> fermulator, Dude, I'm sorry for not doing what you said earlier.  The problem was that wins was not listed under nsswitch.conf.  That makes *NO SENSE* because it would resolve some of them, but not ONE.  Oh well.  It works now :\
[01:53] <StepNjump> spirals lol
[01:53] <jwash> hi, i can connect to my local network, I'[m using RDP right now, but I can't connect to any internet sites, any ideas?  Ubuntu is only seeing 2, a right channel and a left channel for the front mic jack.  All jacks work fine under winoze, but in jack they don't. any ideas?
[01:56] <eamon> izinucs: I want to compile it though.
[01:56] <techhelper1> pfifo: make sense ?
[01:57] <izinucs> eamon: you're not getting it.. you could compile the kernel.. then every package individually if you want.. it's a lot of work and time.. why do it?
[01:57] <eamon> izinucs: to make it faster
[01:57] <eamon> ubuntu is too slow for me
[01:57] <techhelper1> eamon: there really isn't a speed difference
[01:57] <rcconf> hi
[01:58] <techhelper1> then look up gentoo eamon
[01:58] <fermulator> meLon: glad you got it to work :-)  I hope you don't experience "slowness" in web browsing DNS resolution, if you do, we'll have to revisit the the information in that thread
[01:58] <eamon> gentoo is fast when I caompile it myself
[01:58] <eamon> but I like ubuntu
[01:58] <izinucs> eamon: won't be by much.. if you really want to do something like that then there are other distros based in compilation of *everything*
[01:58] <rcconf> How do I change the default icon in gnome-terminal window?
[01:58] <meLon> I don't seem to be having any problems
[01:58] <pfifo> eamon, ubuntu isnt slow, its gnome, try xubuntu or something with less bling
[01:58] <techhelper1> i only see milliseconds shaved off by hand compiling
[01:58] <meLon> I use googdns fermulator :D
[01:58] <meLon> mmmmmm
[01:59] <Kamenu> i'm having problems with missing screen resolutions on Karmic Koala, can someone help me with this problem?
[01:59] <izinucs> meLon: you can also try opendns or dyndns.. but opendns claims to be even faster than google
[01:59] <izinucs> Kamenu: nvidia?
[01:59] <eamon> Kamenu: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:59] <meLon> I dont trust anybody other than google izinucs
[02:00] <techhelper1> opendns is faster then google
[02:00] <izinucs> meLon: too bad
[02:00] <meLon> esp with those types of records
[02:00] <Kamenu> using an Intel graphics card
[02:00] <eamon> Kamenu: add the res you want to that file and it'll work Kamenu
[02:00] <techhelper1> and opendns has more features then the avg site
[02:00] <pfifo> trust and google dont belong in the same sentance
[02:00] <zer0s> lol
[02:00] <izinucs> Kamenu: xrandr handles resolution.. if the resolution you need isn't currently present you can add it.. I'll have ubottu send you a link
[02:00] <Antichrist> hello
[02:00] <izinucs> !resolution > Kamenu
[02:01] <zer0s> pfifo, you could say that about just any corporation
[02:01] <eamon> !resolution
[02:01] <rcconf> how do I add a custom icon to gnome-terminal's TITLE bar?
[02:01] <aeon-ltd> techhelper1: some isps are faster though, esp. in differ countries but in the US this is almost 99% true
[02:01] <rcconf> need to know
[02:01] <pfifo> zer0s, I trust Verisign
[02:01] <izinucs> rcconf: is there one there already that you want to replace?
[02:02] <rcconf> izinucs: no title bar shows the default
[02:02] <izinucs> rcconf: but there is an icon there for the program that you want to use a custom icon for right?
[02:02] <eamon> Kamenu: that should say <<  sudo /etc/init.d/xdm restart >>  don't know what's wrong with ubottu
[02:02] <Jonii3> I have 3 inputs on my computer but only 1 is showing up under linux. all three work fine under windoze.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong?
[02:02] <rcconf> yes izinucs of course
[02:02] <rcconf> izinucs: but custom
[02:02] <eamon> Jonii3: what are the inputs....
[02:03] <m1ndvirus> What's a good SVN client?
[02:03] <rcconf> izinucs: a .png icon
[02:03] <techhelper1> ?dm stands for gem, kdm, xdm eamon
[02:03] <techhelper1> gdm*
[02:03] <pfifo> Jonii3, Do all 3 show up in alsa?
[02:03] <theholder> i just use bash svn
[02:03] <Kamenu> thankyou eamon
[02:03] <theholder> lol
[02:03] <izinucs> rcconf: ok.. point at the icon and right mouse click.... choose properties.. then click the icon in the new box and point the reference to whatever you want to use.
[02:03] <Jonii3> all 1/8 inch , one mic on front, one mic on the back, and one "line in" on the back
[02:03] <Jonii3> pfifo, how do I check?
[02:03] <m1ndvirus> theholder: I like nautilus integration.
[02:03] <dsnyders> rcconf, you could search for icons on your system.  Rename current icon to icon.old and copy your desired icon in place.
[02:04] <rcconf> izinucs: that's for the shortcut.. i want to change title bar icon
[02:04] <Jonii3> if i go to sound preferences/hardware it only shows one device
[02:04] <pfifo> Jonii3, run 'amixer' on the command line and check/pastebin its output
[02:04] <rcconf> dsnyders: hm but I just want it for a Profile in terminal
[02:04] <eamon> you can't pastebin alsamixer.....
[02:04] <izinucs> rcconf: ah.. now I get it.. sorry I don't know
[02:04] <rcconf> izinucs: :)
[02:04] <pfifo> eamon, 'amixer' not 'alsamixer'
[02:04] <eamon> Jonii3: run alsamixer
[02:05] <dsnyders> rcconf, Although I don't really understand what you're after.  None of my windows have icons in the title bar.  What theme are you using.
[02:05] <rcconf> it's alsamixer in terminal
[02:05] <izinucs> *going from my desktop w/ 2 23" screen to a laptop is almost painfull
[02:05] <rcconf> dsnyders: default.. Ambiance
[02:05] <pfifo> amixer is a simpler non interactive version of alsamixer
[02:05] <rcconf> ill take a printscreen to show you.
[02:05] <Jonii3> amixer output: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/586305/
[02:05] <pikus> co za asy
[02:06] <eamon> Jonii3: open alsamixer and you can do it with a gui
[02:06] <Jonii3> eamon: I did... but i'm confused
[02:06] <izinucs> Jonii3: what are you trying to do.. use the front mic? rear line in?
[02:06] <Jonii3> I would like to be able to use all 3 at once with ardour/jack
[02:07] <eamon> Jonii3: press the right arrow key to see if your line in is switched on
[02:07] <izinucs> Jonii3: ah.. this is a *jack* question.. sorry don't know
[02:07] <Jonii3> izinucs: but the input isn't showing up in ubuntu period
[02:08] <Jonii3> izinucs: it will be a jack question once ubuntu lets me use the input
[02:08] <izinucs> Jonii3: jack replaces pulseaudio if I remember correctly.. if it doesn't then pavucontrol might give you more options
[02:08] <m1ndvirus> What's a good SVN client?
[02:08] <eamon> Jonii3: does it appear in alsamixer if you press the right arrow key to see all the inputs
[02:08] <smw> m1ndvirus, I like ksvn
[02:08] <izinucs> Jonii3: I tried jack once and was totally confused on how to set it up..
[02:09] <pfifo> Jonii3, the kernel module seems to have it setup so you can only use the front or the rear at anyone time.
[02:09] <m1ndvirus> smw: Anything for GTK/GNOME?
[02:09] <Jonii3> in alsamixer i have Master, Speaker, PCM, empty space (shows up as Line Jack mode in upper left) and Mic jack mode with no volume
[02:09] <induz> hello guys download Writerstool for lookup function on OOffice...just insatleed it
[02:09] <induz> its a bit tricky to install as not much manuals
[02:09] <Jonii3> pfifo:  are you serious? well back to windows then i suppose
[02:09] <smw> m1ndvirus, no idea. I normally use the cli to tell you the truth
[02:09] <induz> bye for bnow
[02:09] <induz> hope it helps
[02:10] <eamon> Jonii3: yeah try turning on your line in and mic
[02:10] <Jonii3> eamon:  how would i go about doing that?
[02:11] <eamon> press the m key to unmute and the up key to increase volume. it's just like windows
[02:11] <smw> m1ndvirus, I found this on google: http://www.doknowevil.net/2009/04/28/nautilussvn-finally-an-svn-gui-for-linux-that-doesnt-totally-suck/
[02:11] <rcconf> is there a way to customize the icon of gnome terminal?
[02:11] <Jonii3> eamon: i pressed m and up and down swaps between line in and mic in
[02:11] <Jonii3> the mic jack mode does the same thing
[02:12] <Jonii3> ????
[02:12] <rcconf> http://i55.tinypic.com/2qv3y49.png
[02:12] <Jonii3> i was on playback hang on
[02:12] <rcconf> I want to customize that icon http://i55.tinypic.com/2qv3y49.png
[02:13] <izinucs> Jonii3: typically even on windows if you have front mic and rear mic plugged in you can only use one.. and with both plugged in it's the front
[02:13] <eamon> Jonii3: type << man alsamixer >> in terminal
[02:13] <Jonii3> eamon: I know have input source and input source 1 and i can swap between Front mic, mic, and line in
[02:13] <Jonii3> ok
[02:13] <spirals> m1ndvirus, yeah NautilusSVN is the equivalent to TortoiseSVN
[02:13] <pfifo> rcconf, custom launcher and your own icon should get you what you want
[02:13] <spirals> m1ndvirus, or RabbitVCS as they're calling it now
[02:14] <spirals> http://code.google.com/p/nautilussvn/
[02:14] <Jonii3> izinucs: I know, I was hoping to get away from that limitation -.-
[02:14] <dsnyders> rcconf, I only see maximize, minimize, close, and the window menu button.  No icons.
[02:14] <rcconf> pfifo: i already have the custom icon in shortcut/launcher..
[02:15] <[thor]> Hello there, i am using ubuntu 10.10, and i would like to create a custom launcher in my games menu. I wish to launch a file called 'brogue' which is, according to ' file brogue ' --> brogue: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped.  Now, when i create a new launcher, and point it to the brogue file, nothing happens. When i wish to r
[02:15] <[thor]> un it from a command line, i need to type ' ./brogue ' while i am in the proper folder. tl;dr::: How do i create a launcher in the Applications -> Games menu that launches ./brogue from the folder ~/Demos/brogue1.3/ ?
[02:15] <rcconf> pfifo: i want to change the icon in the window bar
[02:15] <izinucs> Jonii3: that might be a motherboard limitation.. if the sound is on the motherboard.. now if you had a separate pci audio card that allowed that then.... :)
[02:15] <Jonii3> izinucs: so in other words I need more money.... ugh
[02:16] <spirals> [thor] Select "Application in terminal" in the Launcher Properties > Type menu.
[02:16] <[thor]> spirals doesn't work either
[02:16] <spirals> [thor], then put the full path to brogue in the Command field
[02:17] <izinucs> Jonii3: I just tossed 5 older audio cards.. check craigslist, ebay etc.. you're bound to come up with something for a couple of bucks.. if you're in the US that is....
[02:17] <Jasonn> Anyone know of a phproxy alternative?
[02:17] <rcconf> Jasonn: again? :P
[02:17] <pfifo> rcconf, ohh, im not sure if thats possible. if no one here can answer the try asking in #gnome irc.gnome.org
[02:17] <rcconf> pfifo: k ill try
[02:17] <Jasonn> rcconf: Nah, last time i wanted to know how to use Squid :)
[02:17] <rcconf> oh
[02:18] <spirals> [thor], if the app is fragile enough to require being in its directory when launched, you need to make a launcher script that handles that (cd ~/Demos/brogue1.3/ && ./brogue) and use the Launcher to run that script
[02:18] <Jasonn> rcconf: I have tried glype, cgiproxy, and another one (forgot the name) But is there a program that could work for this
[02:18] <Jasonn> ??
[02:18] <rcconf> Jasonn: I dont know how to help you on that sorry
[02:18] <Jasonn> rcconf: Thanks anyways :)

[02:22] <eamon> brightspark: you may want to google your wireless card model number and see if there are any kown problems with the ubuntu drivers
[02:23] <[thor]> spirals: thanks for the idea.. it's working fine now :D
[02:23] <brightspark> eamon: Thanks. Is there a command to print the model number?
[02:23] <[thor]> i don't get why i couldn't run it directly though..
[02:23] <eamon> lspci | grep eth
[02:23] <eamon> could do it idno
[02:24] <ThatGuyOverThere> Anybody? Need help editing /etc/rc.local

[02:25] <pfifo> ThatGuyOverThere, chmod 0755, it needs to be executable

[02:26] <bmk> I have a question regarding grub, I have two hard drives installed, one I had previously installed KUBUNTU on, and then today I installed the new hard drive and installed ubuntu 10.10 on it.  I want to reformat the other hard drive to just use as storage space, but I am not sure if the grub menu is on that hard drive, or on the new hard drive and I dont want to reformat the old hard drive and screw something up
[02:27] <eamon> bmk: grub is in your MBR
[02:27] <dsnyders> bmk, first things first.  Do you have a livecd
[02:27] <pfifo> bmk, disconnect the old drive and see what happens
[02:27] <bmk> I have the livecd, yes.  I think I should try that though, disconnecting the old drive and see what happens... that makes sense
[02:28] <Goliath> hey does ubuntu/kubuntu 10.10 livedvd contain grub1 (i want to use grub-install command)?
[02:28] <eamon> no just reformat it. It's in the master boot record which wont be formatted
[02:28] <eamon> bmk: no if you disconnect you won't be able to access the MBR
[02:28] <eamon> just reformat it
[02:28] <dsnyders> bmk, you may need to check in your bios as to which drive the machine boots from.
[02:28] <Polarina> Are there any logs on connection attempts made to me by the Remote Desktop tool?
[02:29] <bmk> I will still have the hard drive connected with Ubuntu 10.10 installed, just not the old hard drive with kubuntu on it
[02:29] <ThatGuyOverThere> eamon: So what do I need to do to etc/rc.local?
[02:29] <eamon> just reformat it dude, grub is on the MBR and that won't be formatted
[02:29] <Opiniee> Could someone please help learn how to update/upgrade his/her Clamav virus engine? It's apparently outdated, but there doesn't seem to be documentation for updating it.
[02:29] <Opiniee> *me
[02:30] <pfifo> ThatGuyOverThere, add the commands you want to be executed to the script, ensure the script is executable, and reboot
[02:30] <Goliath>  hey does ubuntu/kubuntu 10.10 livedvd contain grub1 (i want to use grub-install command)?
[02:30] <eamon> ThatGuyOverThere: make sure you're adding them to the right place in the file
[02:30] <pfifo> Goliath, no
[02:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> eamon: I don't know where the right place is.
[02:31] <ThatGuyOverThere> eamon: Right now all that's in there is a bunch of commented-out lines with an explanation of rc.local in them and a line that says "exit 0"

[02:32] <hiexpo> eamon, been there done that and they don't
[02:32] <pfifo> mu, possibly try running 'sudo apt-get update'
[02:32] <spirals> [thor], great!
[02:33] <mu> pfifo: That was the command I used to spawn those errors
[02:33] <spirals> [thor], did you end up having to do the launcher script?
[02:33] <spirals> or just the full path in launcher
[02:34] <pfifo> ThatGuyOverThere, if these commands dont return right awaym youll need to add a '&' at the end to make them go into the background, and 'exit 0' makes the script end, so if the commands are after that, their not getting run.
[02:34] <rww> mu: You're getting those errors because Intrepid/8.10 reached end of life status in April 2010 and thus its repositories have been removed from the mirror system. See the message ubottu's about to give you.
[02:34] <rww> !eol | mu
[02:35] <coz_> end of like,,, i still have the ubuntu 3.05 disk here :)

[02:35] <coz_> rather 4.05
[02:35] <coz_> let me try that again ,, end of life,,, i still have the 4.05  here :)
[02:35] <rww> mu: I've done distribution upgrades on a remote VPS, but it might be a good idea to check with your provider for their recommendation.
[02:35] <mu> Yeah, I'm doing that now. Thanks.
[02:36] <rww> coz_: perhaps you mean 4.10 or 5.04?
[02:36] <coz_> rww,  ah yes  I do indeed...

[02:37] <Opiniee> Does anyone know how to update Clamav's virus engine?

[02:37] <FransWillem> Hi, I just installed MythBuntu on a system with a Radeon 9800 Pro, and now just after the splash screen the screen goes and stays black. SSH works, but I can't seem to get it to show anything. During the installation I was given the choice between open source and AMD drivers where I picked the AMd drivers.
[02:37] <FransWillem> Would anyone be able to help me troubleshoot this from the command line ?
[02:38] <rcconf> Opiniee: wait ..
[02:38] <smw> FransWillem, is mythbuntu still under development?
[02:38] <Opiniee> rcconf: ok
[02:38] <edbian> FransWillem: heck yes.  Are you booted into the system right now?
[02:38] <coz_> Opiniee,   also under  Advanced in the gui of clamav  there is a tick box to update definitions on start up
[02:38] <Opiniee> coz_: thanks
[02:38] <FransWillem> edbian: Yes, and I am able to log in through SSH
[02:38] <FransWillem> smw: It had a download link for 10.10, so I suppose it is
[02:38] <rcconf> Opiniee: open a terminal and type this to add PPA: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa
[02:39] <Opiniee> coz_: but it doesn't update the virus engine, does it?
[02:39] <edbian> FransWillem: What happens does it say if you type this: sudo lsmod | grep fglrx    ?
[02:39] <Opiniee> rrconf: ok
[02:39] <coz_> Opiniee,  yes it should
[02:39] <msponge> I installed Ubuntu on a Lenovo laptop that dual boots windows and has a system recovery partition. I need to access to system recovery partition but i'm not sure how to do it with grub (F11 no longer works at boot up). I can root the drive, but can't find the kernel for boot to work. Can someone help?
[02:39] <coz_> Opiniee,  do you have clamtk I think it is installed,,,the front end?
[02:39] <FransWillem> edbian: Nothing. fglrx wasn't even installed at first, but dmesg seems to indicate it's loading a 'radeon' driver instead :/
[02:39] <rcconf> Opiniee: that PPA is to update the antivirus not the GUI... if you wantto update GUI go to clamatk website download and upgrade manually using the .deb file
[02:39] <rcconf> :)
[02:40] <pfifo> msponge, you need to use chainloader, probbally
[02:40] <edbian> FransWillem: radeon is the opensource driver.  fglrx is the "AMD" proprietary driver.  Can you pastebin dmesg for me?
[02:40] <Opiniee> coz_: yes, I have clamtk, and it should get definitions when started. The virus engine seems to be outdated still
[02:40] <coz_> Opiniee,  o0 mm let me check here again hold on
[02:40] <Opiniee> rrconf: no, I do want the virus engine, so I believe you are on the right track
[02:41] <coz_> Opiniee,  what is the version ofthe antivirus engine there?

[02:43] <coz_> Opiniee,  no just the gui

[02:43] <rcconf> really easy

[02:45] <edbian> FransWillem: Ah yes.  I forgot about the ssh issue.  Hang on
[02:45] <pfifo> msponge, I have no idea then, those proprietary systems are so proprietary. You can try asking in #grub. but honestly, I would pirate a windows CD and install the way I expect things to work.
[02:45] <Opiniee> rcconf: but clamtk does show the clamav's virus engine, does it not? that's what it uses?
[02:45] <rcconf> Opiniee: clamtk is just the GUI for clamav :)

[02:47] <rcconf> then*
[02:48] <edbian> FransWillem: sudo apt-get install radeon

[02:48] <truepurple> I was given a command to use before, but it didn't work
[02:48] <edbian> FransWillem: tell me what it says.  Already newest version, installing, blah blah
[02:48] <Opiniee> coz_: I think it should then show you, whether the virus engine is up-to-date or not
[02:48] <pfifo> b1lly, vsftpd has many config options, not as much as apache, seems like you just need to read the man vsftpd.conf page
[02:48] <coz_> Opiniee,  yes it is ticked ,, let me try t his ppa hold on
[02:48] <FransWillem> edbian: E: Unable to locate package radeon
[02:48] <Opiniee> coz_: ok
[02:48] <edbian> FransWillem: dmesg says it loads the radeon module.  the xorg log shows it failing to load fglrx
[02:48] <rcconf> the PPA will solve the problem.
[02:49] <edbian> FransWillem: oh, hang on
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> Opiniee: or just run:  sudo freshclam

[02:49] <Opiniee> ActionParsnip: that fetches the virus definitions, not the virus engine, right?
[02:49] <edbian> FransWillem: how did you know the name of it?  I'm googling it right now
[02:49] <FransWillem> edbian: apt-cache search radeon
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> Opiniee: it does both
[02:49] <FransWillem> edbian: Already latest version, though
[02:49] <edbian> FransWillem: smooth operator
[02:50] <edbian> FransWillem: sudo apt-get purge fglrx  (or whatever xserver-xorg-nonsense it might be)
[02:50] <Opiniee> ActionParsnip: it gives an error message
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> Opiniee: what's the error?
[02:51] <coz_> Opiniee,  what I can tell you about clamav, from my experience from the past..dont run it on a windows  partition/disk,, unless you are sure of what it wants to remove,, it can render windows unbootable :)

[02:52] <Opiniee> ActionParsnip, sorry wait
[02:52] <FransWillem> edbian: Removed, but sudo stop gdm; sudo start gdm didn't do anything useful. Now doing a full shutdown -r now. Funny thing is that the screen just turned on for the shutdown animation :/
[02:52] <coz_> ah oh error with that ppa...dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system

[02:53] <edbian> FransWillem: I'm not sure if it works over ssh.
[02:53] <rcconf> coz_: lol
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> Opiniee: same here,weird
[02:53] <pfifo> edbian, yeah it will
[02:53] <FransWillem> edbian: either way, full restart didn't work either, still the same problem, screen turns off after the splash/boot animation :/
[02:53] <edbian> FransWillem: restarting is your best bet anyway.  video card drivers are no easily removed / replaced without a reboot
[02:53] <edbian> pfifo: Really?  cool
[02:54] <edbian> FransWillem: Can I see the /var/log/Xorg.0.log again?
[02:54] <Opiniee> ActionParsnip: I did neglect to mention that clamscan is runnning.. Could that be the cause?
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> FransWillem: run nautilus and it may work, or you can simply execute the app you want to run
[02:54] <edbian> FransWillem: and dmesg while you're at it
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> Opiniee: aaaaah sounds likely
[02:54] <edbian> ActionParsnip: The monitor is blank on boot up.  He's ssh'd in to do work.
[02:54] <pfifo> edbian, it will restart the service, of course unless you can see the monitor, theres no wayy to tell what its showing over ssh (unless you use cli todo a screencap or something)
[02:54] <Opiniee> ActionParsnip: I'll try again after it's finished..
[02:54] <Goliath> hey i have ubuntu 10.10 livecd, can i use it for the grub-install command so i can install grub1 to my system?
[02:54] <FransWillem> edbian: dmesg http://pastebin.com/igsiHHv6
[02:55] <edbian> pfifo: ah-ha
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> edbian: surely the nomodeset option is good to use if its a black screen at boot
[02:55] <FransWillem> edbian: Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/znXs9G4t
[02:55] <snoopy> Hello All
[02:55] <pfifo> hello
[02:55] <Opiniee> Thanks for helping ActionParsnip, coz_ and rrconf!
[02:56] <FransWillem> ActionParsnip: just gets me "Error: no display specified"
[02:56] <ruffleS> Does anyone here use OpenDNS ? I need help with it
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> Opiniee: np man
[02:56] <edbian> FransWillem: same exact error in Xorg.0.log.  Try settings nomodeset kernel option
[02:56] <snoopy> not any more
[02:56] <FransWillem> edbian: Yup, just lost me there. How ?
[02:57] <Opiniee> Thanks for helping rcconf! Said that already, but misspelled your name.. ;-)
[02:57] <snoopy> What is wrong with OpenDNS ?
[02:57] <pfifo> snoopy, there not too keen on hellos
[02:57] <edbian> FransWillem: You see a grub menu when you boot?
[02:57] <snoopy> pfifo:  why not?
[02:57] <FransWillem> Nope, I think it's set to not wait and just boot
[02:57] <pfifo> !hello | snoopy
[02:57] <pfifo> !hi
[02:58] <edbian> FransWillem: press shift fanatically while it boots after post but before Ubuntu stuff.  You should get to the grub menu
[02:58] <ruffleS> snoopy, i have a question about it.. do i have to register in order to be able to use its dns servers?
[02:58] <pfifo> could of swore there was a bot command... anyway cause its considered spam if everyone just starts helloing to the world
[02:58] <Goliath> how can i install grub1 from terminal?
[02:58] <Broseph> so I installed ubuntu-desktop on a server, what's the best way to remove it without a trace? I did sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop but it seems like there's a lot of stuff leftover still ..given that about 60 kb were freed
[02:58] <MarchHair> My Thunderbird generating a bus error on every run. (Ubuntu 10.10) suggestions? (sorry for repost---been a few minutes)
[02:58] <FransWillem> edbian: Where should I add the nomodeset bit ? after the initrd line ?
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: i believe the package is called grub-legacy
[02:59] <FransWillem> edbian: Or after the linux /boot/.... quit splash line ?
[02:59] <edbian> FransWillem:  on the 'linux'
[02:59] <edbian> FransWillem: on the 'linux' line at the end
[02:59] <Goliath> ActionParsnip does grub-install command is included in the livecd?
[02:59] <edbian> FransWillem: yes that line, also remove quiet and splash.  Maybe we'll see some errors during boot time
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> Broseph: sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[02:59] <pfifo> Goliath, yes
[02:59] <Goliath> k thanks
[02:59] <edbian> FransWillem: i must complement you that you are a pleasure to work with.
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: I'll say yes, but I am not sure
[03:00] <FransWillem> edbian: Thanks, same to you ;)
[03:00] <Goliath> ActionParsnip and it installs grub1 if i have it or grub2 if i have that? or always grub1?
[03:00] <quiescens> i don't think its so much "don't say hello" as, don't neccesarily expect a reply and to just ask your question if that's what you're here for
[03:00] <FransWillem> edbian: Was too late to remove the quiet/splash bit, but it does respond to ctrl+alt+f1 now, lemme try starting gdm from the command line
[03:00] <edbian> FransWillem: excellent.  Seems like we just fixed it
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: not done it personally bt I'd do it in a live cd environment
[03:01] <FransWillem> edbian: Well, not really, ctrl+alt+f7 (which used to give the GUI) only shows a blinking _ :(
[03:01] <truepurple> With smuxi, it asks for a "hostname", what is it looking for?
[03:01] <Broseph> ActionParsnip: Thanks, looks like I freed another 13 mb. Is that all or would there be additional packages to take out?
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: i'd remove grub2,boot to livecd then install grub
[03:01] <r3m> Hi, I have a cdrom disk in my cdrom and mounted. I tried to sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=game.iso but it doenst found /dev/cdrom.. where is it
[03:01] <r3m> its a cdrom drive only
[03:01] <FransWillem> edbian: and sudo gdm just spits out that it reached a maximum number of X errors
[03:02] <edbian> FransWillem: So the machine boots to what if you don't press ctrl + alt + F1  ?
[03:02] <FransWillem> edbian: Just boots to the blinking _
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> Broseph: if you uninstall libgnome*    it should rip the rest out
[03:02] <FransWillem> edbian: But at least the screen stays on this time :/
[03:02] <Seven_Six_Two> r3m, you might not have that link. try     ls -l /dev | grep sr
[03:02] <edbian> FransWillem: but you can switch to tty1.  What do you get from lsmod | grep radeon
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> r3m: try /dev/sr0
[03:02] <edbian> FransWillem: that is, sudo lsmod | grep radeon
[03:03] <r3m> thanks
[03:03] <Broseph> ActionParnsip: 61 packages being lopped off, nice :)
[03:03] <meLon> I have to mount points /mnt/drivea/ & /mnt/driveb/.  They both contain similar content.  Is there any way that I can create a link of some sort that will combine the two.  Kind of like a raid, but much more simplified.  I do *not* need the link to be writeable, just readable.
[03:03] <meLon> two*
[03:03] <r3m> it works thanks Secluded1 and ActionParsnip
[03:03] <FransWillem> edbian: sudo lsmod | grep radeon => http://pastebin.com/3hc59Sj3
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> Broseph: then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove   and it should kill the rest
[03:03] <pbear> when I run the screen command, then use ps aux to find it, why is there a screen and a SCREEN as the username of the process's owner? why are there two and what's the difference?
[03:03] <truepurple> With smuxi, it asks for a "hostname", what is it looking for?
[03:04] <r3m> thanks Seven_Six_Two and ActionParsnip
[03:04] <Lancelot> !ff4
[03:04] <Seven_Six_Two> r3m, no
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> r3m: np bro
[03:04] <edbian> FransWillem: great, the radeon driver is running then.  What about sudo lsmod | grep fglrx  (just to be sure).  No need to pastebin.  Just tell me if it displays something or not.
[03:04] <Seven_Six_Two> r3m, sorry. np
[03:04] <haveacigaro> hey guys
[03:04] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, what's smuxi
[03:04] <FransWillem> edbian: Nothing, which is probably good :
[03:04] <Broseph> ActionParsnip: Awesome, thanks!
[03:04] <edbian> FransWillem: That's very good.
[03:04] <truepurple> a IRC client
[03:05] <edbian> FransWillem: What if you sudo gdm on tty1 again?
[03:05] <haveacigaro> i know this isnt an ubuntu question, but im guessing you are more knowlegeable than the the people in #apple
[03:05] <FransWillem> edbian: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager; Could not acquire name; bailing out
[03:05] <truepurple> Seven_Six_Two: smuxi is a IRC client for ubuntu/linux
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> haveacigaro: this is ubuntu support only
[03:06] <edbian> FransWillem: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log again?
[03:06] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, when does it ask for that? when you try to connect?  try   irc.freenode.net
[03:06] <FransWillem> edbian: If I try sudo stop gdm first, it tells me it reached a maximum of X display failures
[03:06] <meLon> Lancelot, by 'unofficial' do you mean that the repo is owned by neither Ubuntu NOR Mozilla?
[03:06] <FransWillem> edbian: Xorg.0.log indicates it's trying to load fglrx again
[03:06] <FransWillem> edbian: Gimme a min to pastebin it
[03:06] <edbian> FransWillem: ok.  That's vague so not very helpful :/   The details are welcome though!
[03:06] <edbian> FransWillem: strange
[03:06] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, or  irc.freenode.net/8001
[03:06] <edbian> join #radeon with me
[03:06] <Lancelot> meLon, I'm not actually sure to be honest. I didn't write that. I think by unofficial it meant not owned by canonical
[03:07] <haveacigaro> :( well, i cant mount a partition, which cannot be fixed in first aid. I was wondering if this sounds like a MBR type issue (i realise that it boots using efi)
[03:07] <truepurple> Seven_Six_Two: That is a separate catagory under network
[03:07] <meLon> Cool.  I thought it was an official Mozilla repo.  If not, I need to remove it.  lol
[03:07] <haveacigaro> if you could just point me in the right direction...
[03:07] <edbian> FransWillem: btw, I think that the 'radeon' references in dmesg are referring to the card name not the module
[03:07] <Lancelot> meLon, I said it didn't belong to canonical
[03:07] <Frozt> Greetings to all
[03:07] <Lancelot> meLon, I'm sure it is a mozilla repo, look at the URL
[03:07] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, it might be asking for your hostname then. If you don't use them, just put a fake hostname
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> meLon: there is the daily ppa, the stable ppa will more than likely be the oneincorporated into the official repo
[03:07] <meLon> That's what I was trying to clarify Lancelot.  Sorry
[03:07] <FransWillem> edbian: Xorg.0.log at http://pastebin.com/3wfs5UCs if you still need it
[03:08] <edbian> FransWillem: reading
[03:08] <Sean93> I just installed ubuntu in a virtual machine. I then used bastille. now i get permission denied when i try to login as the only user account. how do i login as root a the console if i never set a root password?
[03:08] <FransWillem> edbian: dmesg | grep radeon has become a lot less btw :/
[03:08] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, or put whatever you  have for your machine listed in      /etc/hosts
[03:08]  * rcconf loves Ubuntu
[03:08] <rww> Lancelot, meLon: That PPA is maintained by Ubuntu's Mozilla packaging team, which is not part of Canonical or Mozilla. PPAs in general are not officially supported.
[03:08] <truepurple> Seven_Six_Two: What are host names?
[03:08] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, sorry, that's    /etc/hostname
[03:08] <meLon> ty rww
[03:08] <edbian> FransWillem: I see.  join #radeon
[03:08] <rcconf> rww: it's a PPA from a trusted source enough said
[03:09] <rww> rcconf: I personally would trust them, yes.
[03:09] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, they are like domain names. you can name all of the machines on your network so that you don't have to remember the ip addresses
[03:09] <Frozt> So, a simple question. I'd like to dual boot along side Win7 on my laptop. I'm not sure which version to get, the desktop or the netbook. Any suggestions?
[03:10] <rww> Frozt: either is fine. They're just different user interfaces; they have the same underlying system.
[03:10] <rcconf> Frozt: laptop ofc
[03:10] <Frozt> ofc?
[03:10] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, I run a webserver (mydomainname.com) and my desktop's hostname is mydesktop.mydomainname.com, my laptop is  mylaptop.mydomainname.com
[03:10] <rcconf> of course
[03:10] <rcconf> sorry
[03:10] <trey> ofc = of course, frozt
[03:10] <rww> Frozt: if you don't have a particular preference either way, I'd go with Desktop.
[03:11] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, you can name the machines by putting an entry for each other machine in /etc/hosts
[03:11] <Frozt> the reason I ask is because I thought I read something about the netbook having touch response, but my laptop doesn't support touch
[03:11] <Sean93> how do i login as root at the console if i didnt set a root password?
[03:11] <trey> truepurple, you should probably read a basic intro to TCP/IP, DNS, and/or Linux book if you are asking that
[03:11] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, just make sure you use the names that each machine has for itself in /etc/hostname
[03:11] <rww> Frozt: Netbook edition works fine with normal input devices (keyboard, mouse, trackpad, whatever)
[03:11] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, :)  what trey said!
[03:11] <rww> Sean93: you don't. Use sudo instead.
[03:11] <rww> !sudo
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: just run:  sudo -i
[03:12] <Lancelot> rww, can you help me get ff4 running in karmic?
[03:12] <Logan_> !ff4 | Lancelot
[03:12] <Sean93> rww i can't login on the user account
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: when you are done, type:   exit
[03:12] <Lancelot> Logan_, I've seen that. I'm having issues
[03:12] <rww> Lancelot: probably not. The only thing I know about it is that there's a PPA for it; I don't use it myself.
[03:12] <rww> !password | Sean93
[03:13] <Sean93> rww, i havnt forgot my password, bastille seems to have locked me out, i get permission denied
[03:13] <rww> Sean93: although if you mucked things up to the point that it won't let you log in with a valid password, booting into rescue mode (hold down shift at boot and select the relevant option) and getting to a root console from there is probably your best bet.
[03:13] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, I recommend buying "Linux Administrators Handbook"(It's a pink cover), and/or "Linux in a Nutshell"
[03:14] <Frozt> thanks rww and rcconf
[03:15] <ovy> hi, where from can i download a live cd with a working ubuntu 11.04?
[03:15] <rcconf> Frozt: np
[03:15] <rcconf> ovy: from ubuntu.com i think
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> ovy: ask in #ubuntu+1
[03:15] <wauf> Hi, can someone point me out to a guide where I can learn how to put Ubuntu, windows 7 and windowsXP  on a flash drive to use as an installer?
[03:15] <rww> ovy: please don't crosspost to multiple channels. #ubuntu+1 is the right place for that question, wait patiently there.
[03:15] <ovy> ActionParsnip, i asked there but noone anwered
[03:15] <Logan_> "wait patiently there."
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> ovy: natty is offtopic here
[03:15] <rcconf> ovy: try ##linux
[03:16] <JuNiOx> hello guys, I tried installing php5-ffmpeg but the ffmpeg.so file is created under "/usr/lib/php5/20090626/" while the others extension are under "/usr/lib/php5/20060613" so it doesnt work.  How can I have it created accordingly?
[03:16] <truepurple> Seven_Six_Two: What IRC client for ubuntu would you recommend?
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> !irc
[03:17] <Seven_Six_Two> truepurple, purists will scream irssi, but I use xchat
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: pidgin here
[03:17] <truepurple> Do all three use that red highlighting when people say your name?
[03:18] <trey> Since you're in gui, definitely woul dsuggest xchat truepurple
[03:18] <rww> truepurple: xchat does. irssi highlights the nickname part of the message in yellow by default (though I have it set to highlight with a red background personally), pidgin does something that I forget.
[03:19] <trey> I don't know fo a client that doesn't notify you in some way when your name is mentioned
[03:19] <truepurple> irssi does this whether your name is there or not?
[03:19] <trey> or have a PM
[03:19] <truepurple> smuxi doesn't seem to
[03:19] <rcconf> irssi is CLI xchat GUI. make ur choice
[03:19] <PsyForce> trey: empathy doesn't :(
[03:19] <PsyForce> haha
[03:20] <trey> haha, nice. Learn something new every day :P
[03:20] <truepurple> What is CLI?
[03:20] <trey> command lijne interface
[03:21] <rcconf> truepurple: terminal stuff ;)
[03:21] <trey> seriously... pick up Linux for Dummies, it will answer your questions better, and more passive than we could
[03:21] <PsyForce> quick(?) question: how secure would an ubuntu machine be if stolen?
[03:22] <PsyForce> I'm guessing pretty secure, but just curious as my laptop was just stolen
[03:22] <tucemiux> PsyForce, is your home directory encrypted?
[03:22] <PsyForce> no
[03:22] <trey> Sorry to say, not very psyforce, if someone had half a brain
[03:22] <rww> PsyForce: Just like any other OS, if you don't use encryption, then an attacker with physical access can read the whole hard disk.
[03:22] <truepurple> Noone knows anything about smuxi?
[03:22] <pfifo> PsyForce, they can access all files as root now
[03:22] <tucemiux> PsyForce,  youre screwed but I doubt the thief would take the time to recover any from your laptop
[03:23] <PsyForce> yeah, especially since I'm in China...I think just finding that it doesn't have windows on it will be daunting
[03:23] <trey> This is true, generally laptop thieves aren't the brightest.
[03:23] <Seven_Six_Two> PsyForce, did you encrypt partitions when you installed?
[03:24] <PsyForce> though maybe I should encrypt my home directory on the new machine...?
[03:24] <trey> lol, yes psyforce
[03:24] <PsyForce> no, just standard install
[03:24] <PsyForce> does encryption have any effect on performance?
[03:24] <MarchHair> Hey folks, I really need some help debugging a Thunderbird crash (bus error).
[03:24] <pfifo> I steal laptops and Im very linux savy
[03:24] <rww> PsyForce: yes, it increases CPU usage
[03:24] <Guest80327> I cannot extend my desktop to a second monitor. I was using 10.4, then upgraded to 10.10, but the problem didn't go away. I'm on a ibm thinkpad t42 laptop and my graphics card :VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] ...what do I do? I can mirror the image just fine, but when i uncheck that option, the image on the minotor implies that the graphics card crashed, then i have to do ctr-alt-back
[03:24] <Guest80327> space. im a newbie.
[03:24] <tucemiux> PsyForce, nowadays I typically encrypt my home directory and have another data that will hold files that dont have sensitive data like passwords or my hilton videos
[03:25] <tucemiux> PsyForce, i meant to say i have another **partition*** that holds files...
[03:26] <PsyForce> hmm, so what are options if I've already done a standard install on the new machine?
[03:26] <Opiniee> rww: does it increase CPU usage very dramatically?
[03:26] <PsyForce> can I still encrypt? would that help?
[03:26] <trey> Psyforce, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome
[03:26] <tucemiux> PsyForce, you can still encrypt but the easiest thing would be to just reinstall unless you have a lot of data on it
[03:27] <Opiniee> How difficult is it to recover a encrypted file system? If you have backups that is
[03:27] <rww> Opiniee: depends on how much reading and writing you're doing. Probably not for normal users.
[03:27] <kriume> how can i change my username in ubuntu 10.10???
[03:27] <Opiniee> rww: it's possible to get rid of the encryption, if it does, isn't it?
[03:27] <rww> Opiniee: probably, but I've never done it
[03:27] <Opiniee> rww: ok
[03:28] <kriume> how can i change my username in ubuntu 10.10???
[03:28] <snake_> is there a matrix screensaver that doesn't do fancy flips and turns (and zooms and pans, and other sorts of random nonsense)
[03:28] <PsyForce> trey: btw, just noticed empathy does have notifications if my name is typed cap-sensitively
[03:29] <Guest80327> is there any way i can extend my desktop to a second monitor on 10.10?
[03:30] <trey> PsyForce, self own
[03:30] <Opiniee> Guest80327: it is, if you have a port for an extra monitor as I have two monitors right now, but someone else will surely come up with better instructions that I would
[03:30] <snake_> Guest80327, System > prenferences > monitor should be what you're looking for.
[03:30] <PsyForce> hehe, I guess no one has bothered to get the caps right before
[03:30] <kriume> how can i change my username in ubuntu 10.10???
[03:30] <Seven_Six_Two> How long should I let a pot roast sit for after cooking? I use 10.10
[03:31] <Sean93> why would i not be able to login as a user after using bastille?
[03:31] <MarchHair> Hey folks, I really need some help debugging a Thunderbird crash (bus error).
[03:31] <trey> kriume, please use the ubuntu documentation. God put it there for a reason.
[03:32] <Frozt> speaking of the documentation, and I hate to come back with more questions, but I'd rather be safe than sorry
[03:32] <Guest80327> MSG <snake> <yeah, the only problem is though, when i use that interface, my gwindow crashes :/ don't know how to get around the problem>
[03:32] <Seven_Six_Two> kriume, kriume create a new user with a new home, and move your files. make sure you don't change the owners inadvertently
[03:32] <b1lly> how do i search for a folder or file
[03:32] <b1lly> in ubuntu cmd line
[03:33] <Frozt> I noticed there was a specific install for hp machines. Seeing as my laptop is made by hp, again, I worry that a standard install might mess something up
[03:34] <Guest80327> MSG <Guest80327> <bla>
[03:34] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, i use slocate.  you first do sudo updatedb   then use locate     update makes a database for fast searches. (it doesn't look over your whole disk every time)
[03:34] <rww> Guest80327: perhaps you're looking for /msg
[03:34] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, I don't know if it's installed by default.
[03:35] <trey> Frozt, anytime something breaks it's a learning experience. You can always try a standard install and see what happens
[03:36] <Frozt> trey, I've been learning alot in regards to the android system lately, however, my ventures with nix has always been pleasant. But I've always done my homework and asked around before leaping
[03:36] <b1lly> im trying to copy directorys, sudo cp /home/billy/Aptana\ Studio\ 3\ Workspace/westechsolutions/web/gelberg/ /var/www/homeskoold
[03:36] <b1lly> is that wrong?
[03:36] <JuNiOx>  I tried installing php5-ffmpeg but the ffmpeg.so file is created under "/usr/lib/php5/20090626/" while the others extension are under "/usr/lib/php5/20060613" so it doesnt work.  How can I have it created accordingly?
[03:36] <b1lly> im trying to move the gelberg folder into the homeskoold folder
[03:36] <earthling_> !ff4
[03:36] <b1lly> JuNiOx: whats the diff between isntalling ffmpeg and php5-ffmpeg
[03:37] <trey> Frozt the good thing about a fresh install is, you can always just wipe it.  IMO you learn a lot more by doing, but that's just my preference
[03:37] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, if there are subdirectories off web/gelberg  you'll need the switch for recursive.   man cp
[03:37] <JuNiOx> php5-ffmpeg will create the ffmpeg.so so that php can comunicate with ffmpeg
[03:38] <b1lly> JuNiOx: i installed just ffmpeg and it can communicate
[03:38] <Sean93> what option in Bastille could cause permission denied when trying to log in as the only user on the machine
[03:38] <Sean93> ??
[03:38] <odst0016> does anyone know off the top of their head exactly how big the gnome 3 shell for ubuntu 10.10 is
[03:38] <JuNiOx> b1lly: interesting, so when "configuring" it you set any particular parameter to have the module created either?
[03:39] <HelloWorld321> !eclipse
[03:39] <Seven_Six_Two> Sean93, http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99478
[03:40] <b1lly> Seven_Six_Two: I need recursive
[03:40] <PsyForce> thanks all!
[03:40] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, if the source directory doesn't have children.
[03:40] <b1lly> it does
[03:41] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, sorry, I meant you do need the switch for recursive if your source has children
[03:42] <b1lly> im confused
[03:42] <b1lly> do i do sudo cp -r fromdir todir ?
[03:43] <arielsanflo> someone help me I need a c-language channel in Spanish
[03:43] <Opiniee> How would one encrypt an already installed ubuntu system? Can that be done with the install CD without destroying the already existing operating system?
[03:44] <leapy0yo> can any of you guess why I can mount an network drive even though it is not listed in the remote host's samba?
[03:44] <trey> Wasn't that question just asked like 10 minutes ago?
[03:44] <Aginor> leapy0yo, it's not advertised but still accessible
[03:44] <Pseudoremora> Hi, I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10; for some reason, when I boot my computer, I always have to run /etc/init.d/networking restart to get my eth0 connection working, it doesn't work automatically... any ideas?
[03:45] <arielsanflo> someone help me I need a c-language channel in Spanish
[03:45] <tensorpudding> !ot | arielsanflo
[03:45] <leapy0yo> aginor, what?
[03:45] <Aginor> leapy0yo, that's my guess
[03:46] <b1lly> im having trouble
[03:46] <Blazix> So I have /home mounted as a separate partition, but now I can't create any more because I have exceeded the limit. What would I need to do to unmount the "/home" partition, and use the current partition for my /home directories?
[03:46] <Aginor> !ask | b1lly
[03:46] <b1lly> sry got sidetracked
[03:46] <ayecee> Blazix: what does it mean, exceeded the limit?
[03:47] <ayecee> have you run out of space on the /home /partition?
[03:47] <Aginor> leapy0yo, there's a difference between a share being browsable/advertised and accessible
[03:47] <Sean93> Seven_Six_Two, thanks, that got it working
[03:47] <pfifo> Blazix, comment the approprate line in /etc/fstab and reboot
[03:47] <b1lly> i have a webdir in /var/www/homeskoold          and it loads index.php properly... now when i downloaded my files from my old ftp server, and cp them to the homeskoold folder
[03:47] <b1lly> im having trouble viewing them on the web
[03:47] <Blazix> I can only have 5 partitions.
[03:47] <ayecee> b1lly: what happens when you try?
[03:47] <Seven_Six_Two> Sean93, no problem
[03:47] <b1lly> blank page
[03:47] <b1lly> and when i use my gui to look ath the files int he dir
[03:47] <b1lly> they all have like "x" on the top right of the icons
[03:47] <Aginor> b1lly, have you looked at the access and error logs of the webserver?
[03:47] <Seven_Six_Two> Blazix, not if you make extended partitions. you can only have 4 primary
[03:48] <b1lly> i havnt but i think thats what the trouble is
[03:48] <Seven_Six_Two> and selecting extended uses up a primary, I think
[03:48] <leapy0yo> aginor, in the gui config window it does not list the drive and the smbd.conf file does not list the drive... for i deleted and disabled that... but i can still mount it, why? is it because it is shared through windows enabling it?
[03:48] <Blazix> Yes, and I did a mistake of creating everything primary. :/
[03:48] <b1lly> Aginor: how do i fix the access
[03:49] <b1lly> better yet, how do i view those logs
[03:49] <leapy0yo> aginor, i am going to try enabling it through windows of another drive
[03:49] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, sudo chown -R newusername.newusername /home/newusername
[03:49] <b1lly> huh
[03:49] <Blazix> pfifo, on /etc/fstab. Do I comment out UUID=b25ca6b2-eddf-446a-81fc-cbec534e25d6 /home           ext4    ?
[03:49] <Aginor> b1lly, if it is the file permissions, right click on the files and select permissions. You want the owner, group and everyone to be able to read the files
[03:50] <pfifo> Blazix, that looks correct
[03:50] <Aginor> b1lly, the logs are likely to be in /var/log/apache2
[03:50] <Seven_Six_Two> Aginor, I think a new user was created, and all files copied as root
[03:50] <Aginor> b1lly, assuming you do use apache2
[03:50] <Aginor> Seven_Six_Two, that would make sense
[03:50] <pfifo> Blazix, make sure to cp -a /etc/skel to /home/blazix on the root partition
[03:50] <b1lly> you want me to look at the acces.log or the error.log
[03:50] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, sorry, I'm confused...Aginor
[03:51] <Blazix> Gotcha. Thanks
[03:51] <Aginor> b1lly, the error log will show you the errors, look at that and see what errors you have gotten
[03:51] <Blazix> I will give that a try.
[03:51] <Aginor> Seven_Six_Two, that the files are not world readable and owned by root
[03:51] <Pseudoremora> Hi, I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10; for some reason, when I boot my computer, I always have to run /etc/init.d/networking restart to get my eth0 connection working, it doesn't work automatically... any ideas?
[03:51] <alfredoero> hi
[03:51] <b1lly> also Aginor: it says when i right click the folder and goto permissions that i am not the owern so i cannot change these permissions
[03:52] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, Aginor these are files for www?
[03:52] <b1lly> group is set to access files and so is others
[03:52] <b1lly> yeah
[03:53] <b1lly> how do i set permissions to read and write for them
[03:53] <Aginor> Seven_Six_Two, presumably, bot for apache to interpret them they don't need to be owned by www, do they?
[03:53] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, cd /var/www && sudo chown -R www-data.www-data ./*
[03:53] <Seven_Six_Two> Aginor, www-data is the owner for apache2
[03:54] <b1lly> Seven_Six_Two: i am not folloiwng
[03:54] <Aginor> Seven_Six_Two, yes, but apache doesn't need to own the files to read them, just have read access
[03:54] <BabyGirl> does anyone know where the screensavers are stored on ubuntu.10.4
[03:54] <b1lly> Seven_Six_Two: i just want to change the permissions for my var/www/homeskoold/gelberg folder to read write permissions
[03:54] <wjlafrance> Hello! I'm trying to VNC into an ubuntu server. Which apt-get packages should I isntall?
[03:54] <b1lly> for all the recursive inc
[03:54] <tonsofpcs> wjlafrance: depends what you're expecting.
[03:55] <b1lly> or readonly
[03:55] <Seven_Six_Two> Aginor, it depends on what the files are, if you just want world readable, sudo chmod 774
[03:56] <HeIsRisen> Can somebody explain to me why cairo dock open gl opens on boot for one login on my 10.10 box, but not on the other?
[03:56] <Seven_Six_Two> b1lly, well it depends on who the owner is. your server is in group, or you want world readable. 774 will do world readable
[03:56] <b1lly> ya so do
[03:56] <b1lly> sudo chmod -R dir 744
[03:56] <wjlafrance> tonsofpcs: a gnome desktop, similar to ubuntu-client
[03:56] <tonsofpcs> .... are you expecting to connect to the local session or have your own?
[03:56] <Seven_Six_Two> if you're in the www dir:    sudo chmod -R w+r ./dir-to-change
[03:56] <Aginor> Seven_Six_Two, I know that, but b1lly don't, let's try to help him to change the owner and permissions of the files in to something appropriate.
[03:57] <Seven_Six_Two> Aginor, I agree...
[03:57] <Seven_Six_Two> Aginor, I'd like to eat dinner though, so hands free for a few...
[03:57] <b1lly> billy@billy-ubuntu:/var/www$ sudo chmod -R w+r ./homeskoold/gelberg/
[03:57] <b1lly> chmod: invalid mode: `w+r'
[03:58] <leapy0yo> hi
[03:58] <ayecee> b1lly: probably o+r
[03:58] <leapy0yo> is there a way to see what drives are shared on my host, that others can network mount?
[03:59] <b1lly> how do i delete a folder and all files iwthin
[03:59] <Seven_Six_Two> ayecee, thanks
[03:59] <ayecee> leapy0yo: using what protocol?
[03:59] <b1lly> cuz it somehow just lost like 8 files
[03:59] <rcconf> b1lly: rm -rf folder
[03:59] <pfifo> If I use my time machine to obtain a copy of ubuntu 12.04 can I get support for it here or do i have to goto #ubuntu+3
[03:59] <rcconf> b1lly: dont do that if you are newbie
[03:59] <rcconf> use Nautilus
[03:59] <ayecee> pfifo: the latter
[03:59] <b1lly> rcconf:  dont do what
[04:00] <Teligard> Hi all
[04:00] <rcconf>  <b1lly> how do i delete a folder and all files iwthin
[04:00] <rcconf> thats what the command does.
[04:00] <leapy0yo> ayecee , samba
[04:00] <Teligard> any ideas why the following entry in my fstab isn't working:
[04:00] <Teligard> ' //mybook2/Public/XBMC_layout /mnt/mediaserver1 cifs rw,user=relder,credentials=/etc/samba/.credentials,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777  0 0
[04:01] <b1lly> for some reaosn when i
[04:01] <ayecee> leapy0yo: I think you could do something like smbclient -L localhost, but i'm not entirely sure.
[04:01] <Teligard> I've tried both smbfs and cifs
[04:01] <b1lly> sudo chmod -R 774 ./homeskoold/gelberg half the files dissapear
[04:01] <ayecee> Teligard: what happens when you try?
[04:01] <rcconf> b1lly: ?
[04:02] <b1lly> like right now
[04:02] <Teligard> I get the following i the dmsg: [16353.273928] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
[04:02] <Jupp> I somehow managed to damage my partition table on a secondary drive I use for storage. The second drive is /dev/sdb and it used to be only one partion sdb1. the drive started to fail and after "fixing it", automount fails. I can only mount the drive by "mount /dev/sdb" instead of "mount /dev/sdb1". I don't know how I manage to do that but help fixing it is appreciated.
[04:02] <b1lly> all my files and folders in var/www/homeskoold/gelberg have no permissions
[04:02] <b1lly> and im trying to make them readable
[04:02] <Teligard> And the shell returns: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //mybook2/Public/XBMC_layout,
[04:02] <Teligard>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[04:02] <Teligard>        (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
[04:02] <Teligard>        need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
[04:02] <Teligard>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[04:02] <FloodBot1> Teligard: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:02] <Teligard>        dmesg | tail  or so
[04:03] <ayecee> Jupp: what did you do that broke it?
[04:03] <ayecee> Jupp: that is, what did you do while "fixing" it?
[04:03] <Jupp> ayecee, don't know I mainly ran testdisk about a million times and I think I used it to create a parition
[04:04] <Teligard> http://paste.ubuntu.com/586326/
[04:04] <ayecee> Jupp: is there any data on the drive that you want to keep?
[04:04] <Teligard> Sorry about the preceived flooding
[04:05] <Jupp> ayecee, yes. lots of it. I would transfer it to another drive and reformat, but it's too much data
[04:05] <b1lly> mh /var/www/homeskoold/gelberg folder has no read or write permissions set, how do i set them...becuz of this i am not able to access it via the web
[04:05] <Jupp> I would like to keep as much as possible
[04:05] <ayecee> Jupp: then continue to mount it as /dev/sdb. The available fixes would require a backup.
[04:06] <b1lly> anyone?
[04:06] <ayecee> b1lly: anyone what?
[04:06] <pfifo> Jupp, gparted has a utility to fix you partition table, it will examine your disk and make a guess at how it was setup before. You should be able to recover using it.
[04:07] <b1lly> the file permissions of my var/www/homeskoold/gelberg folder
[04:07] <ayecee> b1lly: what about them?
[04:07] <b1lly> are not set, so i cant access the files in that folder via my web url
[04:07] <b1lly> im trying to set them to "read"
[04:07] <ayecee> chmod o=r /var/www/homeskoold/geldberg
[04:07] <BabyGirl> when they talk about splash screen in gmonelook.org is that the boot screen ?
[04:07] <izinucs> b1lly: do a "ls -la" and paste one of the resulting lines
[04:07] <ayecee> err.. o+r
[04:08] <spirals> BabyGirl, generally that refers to the screen before the login screen
[04:08] <b1lly> ayecee if i wanted to make them all o+r for the files and folders in it
[04:08] <b1lly> do i need to do sudo chmod -R o+r /var/www/homeskoold/gelberg
[04:08] <ayecee> yes
[04:08] <Teligard> Ok, let me try this from a different angle
[04:08] <BabyGirl> thanks,spirals
[04:08] <spirals> yw
[04:08] <ayecee> b1lly: could you put a whole sentence in a line? that way we don't have to wait for you to finish the sentence.
[04:08] <izinucs> b1lly: most likely the files are not owned by www-data or your isp is blocking port 80
[04:09] <b1lly> thx
[04:09] <Teligard> how to I automount a network share  using (I presume its the only, or best option) fstab
[04:09] <b1lly> izinucs: my files are owned by root?
[04:09] <b1lly> is this bad
[04:09] <izinucs> b1lly: yep.. not what you want.. sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/*
[04:10] <ayecee> b1lly: it depends on the permissions. show the permissions on one of the files with ls -la, as suggested.
[04:10] <b1lly> izinucs: whats the reason for this
[04:10] <pfifo> Teligard, exactly the way your doing it already
[04:10] <izinucs> b1lly: www-data is the standard owner of apache's files in /var/www ..
[04:11] <b1lly> ayecee: http://pastebin.com/2bwLJfKy
[04:11] <izinucs> b1lly: you as "manipulator" of the files should be in the www-data group
[04:11] <b1lly> im very new to linux so
[04:11] <b1lly> im trying to follow but im a little lost
[04:12] <ayecee> b1lly: the gelberg folder is readable. which file are you trying to access?
[04:12] <b1lly> its readable now, after i did the chmod that you told me
[04:12] <b1lly> it works good now
[04:12] <ayecee> ok!
[04:13] <b1lly> but how come i have to chown
[04:13] <b1lly> like izinucs is saying
[04:13] <izinucs> b1lly: protected files all have a specific owner.. your stuff is owned by you.. system files are owned by root.. web served files are owned by www-data.. after that you also deal with permissions on those files.. read only, read+write, read_write+execute for three levels.. owner, group and everyone.
[04:13] <izinucs> b1lly: chown=change owner
[04:13] <leapy0yo> I don't understand why samba is sharing a hard drive that is not in /etc/samba/smb.conf ... anyone think of a reason?
[04:14] <ayecee> b1lly: because you copied the files as root
[04:14] <b1lly> izinucs: when i setup ftp accounts, do i just set folder ownership to the same as the ftp username
[04:14] <ayecee> leapy0yo: magic leprechauns have staged a daring assault on your computer while you're sleeping.
[04:14] <mister_m> what is the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu
[04:15] <wjlafrance> Can I install the full chain of ubuntu-desktop software on top of ubuntu-server, but disable GDM from starting on boot?
[04:15] <pfifo> leapy0yo, can you pastebin you config and what directory is it sharing
[04:15] <izinucs> b1lly: ftp setup is a little more tricky.. depend on if you want each user confined to their own /home folder or make it universal.. I'm not good at setting up ftp.
[04:15] <ayecee> mister_m: ubuntu provides the gnome UI by default, while xubuntu shows the xfce UI by default.
[04:15] <mister_m> ayecee: ok, cool thank you
[04:15] <bastidrazor> wjlafrance: yes.
[04:15] <gerardo_> spanish ?
[04:15] <ayecee> gerardo_: no
[04:16] <wjlafrance> bastidrazor: how?
[04:16] <b1lly> izinucs: now that i set the ownership to www-data
[04:16] <wjlafrance> gerardo_: #ubuntu-es I think
[04:16] <b1lly> is this just a security measure?
[04:16] <gerardo_> thanks
[04:16] <ayecee> b1lly: something like that, yes.
[04:17] <izinucs> b1lly: yes and no.. yes because security for apache is handled by apache if the files are owned by the apache user group.. www-data..
[04:17] <bastidrazor> wjlafrance: install ubuntu-desktop then edit the file /etc/default/grub .. change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"  then sudo update-grub.
[04:18] <izinucs> b1lly: no because if the files in /var/www are not owned by www-data then apache has no rights to present the files to "the world"..
[04:18] <wjlafrance> b1lly: a 774 bitmask (i think you mentioned earlier) gives world noread nowrite execute, so you can't see/read the files but you can execute them. I personally use 775, so you can read/execute but no write
[04:18] <gerardo_> bye ...
[04:18] <cylob> are there debian packages available for firefox 4?
[04:18] <b1lly> izinucs: when i did www-data:www-data         , is that like a username:password? or is that admin:group
[04:18] <bastidrazor> !ff4 | cylob
[04:18] <pfifo> cylob, mozilla should have them available
[04:18] <wjlafrance> bastidrazor: thanks :)
[04:18] <cylob> thanks!
[04:18] <bastidrazor> wjlafrance: you're welcome
[04:18] <rww> cylob: if you mean Ubuntu, see ubottu's factoid. Ask #debian if you mean Debian ;P
[04:19] <izinucs> b1lly: that's a user:group
[04:19] <cylob> i mean ubuntu
[04:19] <mrdeb> so debian is already outdated?
[04:19] <mrdeb> no firefox 4
[04:19] <wjlafrance> b1lly: username:username sets the owner and group of a file. For example when I host my friend's website on my box, I set the ownership to luke:www-data
[04:20] <rww> mrdeb: You say outdated, Debian users say stable.
[04:20] <rww> mrdeb: Ubuntu is the same way but with a shorter release cycle so one doesn't notice as much.
[04:20] <pfifo> outdated isnt a lightswitch, its a dimmer
[04:21] <cylob> can i install gnome 3 shell on my ubuntu 10.10 install?
[04:21] <cylob> i wanna try it out
[04:22] <pfifo> cylob, yeah
[04:22] <rww> cylob: there's a gnome-shell package on maverick, but it's rather out of date. you'd probably be better off playing with a LiveCD of a distro that actually uses GNOME 3.
[04:22] <b1lly> wjlafrance: so why do www-data:www-data
[04:22] <cylob> which distro uses gnome 3 by default?
[04:22] <b1lly> shouldnt i put billy:www-data
[04:22] <truepurple> how do I add flash to ububtu 10.10 64 bit?
[04:23] <rww> cylob: the upcoming Fedora release will; GNOME 3's website has http://www.gnome3.org/tryit.html also
[04:23] <cylob> cool thanks
[04:23] <kerrie> does anyone know how to get jmp running on Ubuntu 10.10?
[04:23] <cylob> im a bit concerned, btw, about ubuntu's decision to drop gnome 3
[04:23] <cylob> not that ive used it yet
[04:23] <BabyGirl> spirals:) can i put my ubuntu 9.4 and get the splash from that distro,,i love it better thatn 10.4 it looks more profeccional for me at work
[04:24] <wjlafrance> b1lly: ideally only the webserver and the superuser can touch the web data. If you're the only one who's going to touch the web data, such as on a home server, I can't think of a reason not to do that. It's a security risk though, but I don't think it matters on a home server
[04:24] <edbian> cylob: Might now sound like it but I think an alternative to X (wayland) sounds great.  Stir up some friendly competition and make everything better for everybody
[04:24] <izinucs> b1lly: you could do that too.. as long as the second name is www-data
[04:24] <cylob> edbian: so the next ubuntu will use wayland?
[04:24] <b1lly> wjlafrance: why is it a security risk
[04:24] <cylob> what?
[04:25] <edbian> cylob: It will be an option down the road I believe.  I'm not sure about the next version or not
[04:25] <rww> Wayland has nothing to do with Ubuntu's decisions about GNOME 3, and Wayland won't be used in Ubuntu for a long time yet.
[04:25] <edbian> cylob: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wayland
[04:25] <kerrie> does anyone know how to get jmp running on Ubuntu 10.10? This is desperate, as I have an assignment due in two days and can't walk to uni because I've injured my foot. The uni service desk refuses to help
[04:25] <cylob> if i dont like unity i guess ill swithc to fedora
[04:25] <rww> but, this is all more on-topic for #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-offtopic than here, since #ubuntu is for already-released Ubuntu versions :\
[04:25] <edbian> rww: Thanks
[04:26] <wjlafrance> b1lly: because, if i remember correctly www-data doesn't have a password so it can't be bruteforced. You have a password, you can be bruteforced. The question is, who will try to bruteforce you?
[04:26] <pfifo> cylob, I plan to move to fedora as well
[04:26] <cylob> people talk crap about gnome 3 but i have faith cause its gnome
[04:27] <rww> !ot
[04:27] <cylob> my bad rww
[04:29] <kerrie> does anyone know how to get jmp running on Ubuntu 10.10? This is desperate, as I have an assignment due in two days and can't walk to uni because I've injured my foot. The uni service desk refuses to help
[04:29] <hellupline_> hello ubuntu users, I am having trouble with TOTEM, yesterday it was perfect, but today, its playing videos too fast,
[04:29] <tonsofpcs> your uni even knows what Ubuntu is? wow.
[04:30] <kerrie> tonsofpcs: hardly
[04:30] <tonsofpcs> i also have n o clue what jmp is so can't really help
[04:31] <izinucs> hellupline_: there are other choices that work better .. try vlc
[04:31] <wjlafrance> tonsofpcs: my college uses ubuntu for all the programming classes
[04:32] <pfifo> kerrie, desperate right? Nothing a couple hundred dollars cant fix... http://www.ubuntu.com/business/services/overview
[04:32] <edbian> wjlafrance: That is amazing
[04:32] <Darkenvy> I cant seem to share any SMB folders except one. whats different between these folders?
[04:33] <ayecee> kerrie: what happens when you try?
[04:33] <Darkenvy> OSX tells me "cannot find" blah blah
[04:33] <hellupline_> izinucs, well.... i like totem,
[04:33] <kerrie> ayecee: it says "License invalid" when
[04:33] <spirals> BabyGirl, you might be able to find it on gnome-look.
[04:33] <kerrie> ayecee: I use the linux license off the uni website
[04:34] <ayecee> kerrie: has jmp worked for you in the past on your machine, or is this the first time you've tried?
[04:34] <BabyGirl> spirals:) im looking,i dont see it
[04:34] <kerrie> ayecee: It has worked on windows, but doesn't work through wine or virtualbox
[04:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> bette
[04:36] <Peddy> how can I install ubuntu on a new machine so that the entire disk is encrypted?
[04:36] <Darkenvy> I am unable to change permissions of a mounted drive folder even as root
[04:37] <ayecee> kerrie: do you get the same error in both wine and virtualbox?
[04:37] <pfifo> Peddy, select that option during install
[04:37] <Darkenvy> when in ubuntu properties, anything I change instantly snaps back to the old
[04:37] <Peddy> pfifo, are you certain that whole-disk encryption is an option at install?
[04:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Peddy: it should be in the install
[04:37] <pfifo> Peddy, yes
[04:37] <b1lly> wat dir are the web server logs again?
[04:38] <truepurple> How do I install flash on ubuntu?
[04:38] <kerrie> ayecee: no, they don't work in wine and virtualbox for different reasons. I am trying to get the native linux jmp working
[04:38] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: 32 or 64?
[04:38] <pfifo> Peddy, well it encrypts the partitons that ubuntu uses, your windows wont be encrypted of course
[04:38] <Peddy> okay, thanks pfifo. That's for the regular desktop install CD too, right, not just alternative install cd?
[04:38] <Peddy> pfifo, I don't have windows on here (;
[04:38] <ayecee> kerrie: when running the native version you get the "license invalid" message? Is there any further text to the error?
[04:39] <pfifo> Peddy, then is ubuntu is using the 'full disk' then it will be full disk encryptoion ;)
[04:39] <spirals> BabyGirl, search in Software Center for "plymouth-theme", you will see some other choices like "solar" "glow" "spinfinity" maybe one of them is more to your liking
[04:39] <karex> Help me, firefox' font rendering goes bad, but it was nice like another application..
[04:39] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly  64bit 10.10
[04:39] <kerrie> ayecee: It is the native linux version that I get the "license invalid" err. There is no further info
[04:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: if your using a 32 bit then it should be in the repos.  I know jordan from This Week in Linux just did a youtube video about adobe's new flash for linux 32 if your interested
[04:39] <Peddy> pfifo, OK, thanks again. My reason for asking is that, in past installs, it only encrypted the home directory. But this is good news
[04:39] <spirals> BabyGirl, if you want to go all out customizing that kind of thing try this control panel app "GDM2 Setup" http://maketecheasier.com/gdm2-setup-reclaim-control-of-your-login-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/20
[04:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: i run 64 and it was a bit tricky
[04:40] <ayecee> kerrie: i'm sorry, short of contacting the publishers of jmp, i have no suggestions.
[04:40] <Darkenvy> The permissions of [my drive] could not be determined :|
[04:40] <Darkenvy> wtf?!
[04:40] <kerrie> ayecee: thanks for your help
[04:40] <cylob> i read that the performance difference between 32 and 64 bit is negligible, but that 64 bit will end up using alot more hard drive space
[04:40] <cylob> am i way off on that?
[04:40] <pfifo> Peddy, thats on the user setup screen, the full disk encryption is in the partitioning section of the install
[04:40] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: It is 64 bit, I was told to run a particular command, I ran it, it seemed to install, but it didn't work
[04:41] <edbian> cylob: I do not think it takes up any more harddrive space.  64 bit allows you to use more than 3.2 Gb of ram.  (there is a technicality)
[04:41] <ayecee> cylob: it will use more, but it will also be negligible with current disk sizes.
[04:41] <BabyGirl> spirals:) thank u so much for ur help,GOD bless u for helping the needed people
[04:41] <cylob> so if you have under 3.2gb ram, there wouldnt be a reason to use 64 bit?
[04:41] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: I also found a file online specific to my OS, But I had trouble with that too
[04:42] <edbian> cylob: Not really.  Besides that it's the future
[04:42] <cylob> cool thanks for the info
[04:43] <spirals> BabyGirl, you're welcome, also bookmark http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html if you are running official ATI or Nvidia 3d drivers you are probably affected by a graphical glitch at the start of bootup. separate from the splash screen stuff. but relevant to professional appearance.
[04:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: download the 32 adobe flash from their site in a .deb then if you had downloaded to your ~/Downloads folder, then open a terminal and type:    dpkg --force-architecture --install ~/Downloads/"package name"
[04:43] <leapy0yo> i do ls -l , and I do not see anything that suggests nor says that a directory is a symbolic link
[04:43] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: you might have to run the command as a admin using "sudo"
[04:44] <BabyGirl> spirals:) thanks
[04:44] <spirals> BabyGirl, but if you're not running the official ('restricted') drivers then you don't need that script because it's not glitched. good luck.
[04:44] <parapara> hello
[04:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: let me know when your finish
[04:44] <Dartaris> Hey, can someone help we with an installation issue?
[04:44] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: there is a second part
[04:44] <leapy0yo> in one of my directories it has "~"  , but it is a subdirectory of ~, so i don't understand how it got there nor how to remove it
[04:45] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: How about this - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/ this is made for 64bit ubuntu
[04:45] <leapy0yo> oh i get it now... it is ./
[04:45] <leapy0yo> thanks
[04:45] <parapara> can I just ask a question, or is there a polite way to wait in line? :-)
[04:45] <ayecee> Dartaris: only if you describe it
[04:45] <edbian> parapara: Just ask the question.  No line :)
[04:45] <truepurple> just ask parapara
[04:45] <Darkenvy> am I able to chmod 744/chmod 777 a NTFS?
[04:45] <ayecee> parapara: you are encouraged to ask your question and wait for a response.
[04:45] <parapara> thanks guys
[04:45] <Dartaris> I installed Ubuntu via Wibi and restarted but all I got were coloured blocks.
[04:45] <BabyGirl> spirals:) im not running any graphics,,i dont have graphic card,,is a Acer Apire 5315  :)
[04:45] <edbian> parapara: Don't thank us yet! :D
[04:45] <Dartaris> Anyone know why that might be?
[04:46] <Darkenvy> I am UNABLE to samba share this folder because my permissions are wrong on this NTFS drive
[04:46] <ayecee> parapara: bearing in mind that if no one knows, no one might answer :)
[04:46] <parapara> I'm having kind of weird issue -> when I try to open synaptic, it asks for a password, and when I enter my password it says the password is invalid
[04:46] <parapara> however, I can open synaptic from the terminal with sudo synaptic
[04:46] <spirals> BabyGirl, k that last one doesn't affect you then. you should be good with the theme packages and the login customizer app
[04:46] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: I haven't used it...I didn't hear good stuff about that package.  Anyone else think http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/ is good?
[04:46] <Peddy> parapara, could you try "gksu synaptic" in terminal?
[04:46] <folorn> im looking for someone who's done a install of quake4  linux- the question is why do i get a texture error and it semi locks up- when i try to ./ aka run the program
[04:46] <edbian> parapara: What about this: gksudo synaptic
[04:47] <b1lly> how do i view the folder access thru cmd line
[04:47] <ayecee> folorn: could you provide the specific error as well?
[04:47] <b1lly> oh wiat nm
[04:47] <b1lly> wait i forget
[04:47] <Us3r_Unfriendly> parapara: what happens when you do what folorn said to do?
[04:47] <BabyGirl> spirals:)  thanks
[04:47] <parapara> gksu gives me the same incorrect password error; gksudo synaptic works
[04:47] <folorn> yep it says texture error when i try to load it
[04:47] <Peddy> parapara, I disconnected there - say again please?
[04:47] <parapara> gksu gives me the same incorrect password error; gksudo synaptic works
[04:48] <ayecee> folorn: is that the full error? It says "texture error", and nothing else when you load quake4?
[04:48] <parapara> also, no idea if this is related - I don't remember my linux command line - but su doesn't work
[04:48] <parapara> while sudo des
[04:48] <edbian> Aren't they all the same app ?
[04:48] <parapara> does*
[04:48] <folorn> lemme try again but i might have to reboot again
[04:48] <folorn> 1sec
[04:48] <b1lly> does this mean we have full access to this dir drwxr-xr-x 4 www-data www-data 4096 2011-03-27 23:45 users
[04:48] <parapara> I get su: Authentication Failure
[04:48] <pfifo> su != sudo
[04:48] <spirals> parapara: sudo su -
[04:48] <Peddy> parapara, an easy solution would be this: right-click on "system", press edit, navigate to System>Administration, click on synaptic, properties, and then change gksu to gksudo
[04:48] <parapara> spirals: that works
[04:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Peddy: might be some glitch...have you tried changing your passwd?
[04:49] <Peddy> Us3r_Unfriendly, wrong person
[04:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> sorry
[04:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> :P
[04:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> parapara: might be some glitch...have you tried changing your passwd?
[04:49] <Peddy> parapara, to clarify, right-click on menu bar>edit menus
[04:49] <Peddy> no problem (;
[04:49] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: You didn't hear good things about it, you mean you heard bad things about it?
[04:49] <parapara> shouldn't su be working though?
[04:50] <pfifo> su will never work in ubuntu
[04:50] <Peddy> I think gksudo is actually a symlink to gksu, so I have no idea
[04:50] <folorn> here's the full error
[04:50] <rww> parapara: no, because su asks for the root password, and the root account is disabled by default
[04:50] <Teligard> pfifoL sudo passwd
[04:50] <parapara> ahhhhhhhhh
[04:50] <parapara> got it
[04:50] <Peddy> parapara, try "su username"
[04:50] <rww> Peddy: it is, but depending on which you use and what's set in gksu-properties, it'll function like su or like sudo.
[04:51] <spirals> Peddy: "su - username" is better so that you get their environment
[04:51] <parapara> Peddy: what should that do?
[04:51] <pfifo> Teligard, enabling the root account is bot unsupported and not recommended
[04:51] <parapara> Peddy: it just brought me back to the same shell prompt
[04:51] <spirals> parapara, what are you actually trying to do?
[04:51] <Peddy> parapara, that was just to show you the proper use of "su"
[04:51] <Darkenvy> oh man I have messed some shit up before on the root account ><
[04:51] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: that's what i have heard.  glitchiness, not very nice to work with.  but again, that's what i have heard...i don't actually have experience with that package.  I just installed the 32 bit version then I used emacs to write a file in my /etc/ directory to make it smooth
[04:52] <Darkenvy> I didnt do that agai haha
[04:52] <parapara> Peddy: oh I got you
[04:52] <parapara> spirals: just to open synaptic
[04:52] <spirals> parapara, gksudo synaptic
[04:52] <parapara> spirals: one sec; I tried the fix
[04:52] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: And that worked?
[04:52] <Peddy> parapara, for a quick and dirty fix,  you could try the "editing menus" thing I said earlier
[04:52] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: no problems :P
[04:52] <parapara> Peddy: I just did it, and it works!
[04:52] <parapara> Peddy: thank you
[04:53] <parapara> I've been messing around with KDE and Gnome and desktop settings and all that
[04:53] <parapara> so I suspect I caused the problem somehow
[04:53] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: Please link me to it so I can be sure to have the right one
[04:53] <Peddy> parapara, that's great.  Remember, it's only a temporary fix, and similar problems may happen with other programs
[04:53] <parapara> Peddy: got you
[04:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: I am in love with Linux distros.  Some more than others.  But I feel every company gear their software to windows.  I sometimes feel Linux would be king if it were more complete.
[04:54] <spirals> parapara: it's often helpful to create a new user when testing a new desktop environment
[04:54] <parapara> spirals: yeah, I know that now
[04:54] <parapara> spirals: you should have seen the extent to which I broke everything lol
[04:54] <folorn> acceye here's the link with the input with the error
[04:54] <folorn> http://www.vpaste.net/9kmpK
[04:54] <folorn> anyone know how to kill a process that wont close after a error?
[04:54] <spirals> parapara: sounds like the time i decided to try every desktop I could find, all on the same user
[04:55] <Teligard> sudo kill <pid>
[04:55] <folorn> pid?
[04:55] <ayecee> folorn: the error is "texture compression unavailable", apparently.
[04:55] <Teligard> process id
[04:55] <parapara> spirals: on Gnome I actually got rid of all the panels and was using a mac-like dock
[04:55] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: So the link with the flash download you are recommending if you would please.
[04:55] <parapara> spirals: but then I got rid of the dock by mistake
[04:55] <Teligard> I usually do ps aux | grep <app>
[04:55] <ayecee> folorn: what kind of video card do you have? Is this in a virtual machine?
[04:55] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[04:55] <folorn> okay pid = the current process ?
[04:55] <parapara> thanks again Peddy and spirals for your help
[04:55] <parapara> bye guys!
[04:56] <spirals> parapara: a good dock like Docky won't give that problem
[04:56] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: I downloaded the .deb which all of them on there are 32 bit
[04:56] <Teligard> the process Id associated with task you want to kill
[04:56] <Peddy> folorn, have you tried the "force quit" tool on the panel?
[04:56] <Teligard> ie. ps aux | grep xbmc
[04:56] <Teligard> will return the processes with xbmc in the name.
[04:57] <Teligard> then you type sudo kill 12345
[04:57] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: You don't recommend the latter "apt" one, or you just don't know?
[04:57] <Teligard> assuming 12345 is the process ID associated
[04:57] <leapy0yo> is there a way to move files even whereas it says cannot remove destination... when the destination is the same.. i try -f to overwrite but it does not work for whole directories, i think
[04:58] <Teligard> mv -r directory
[04:58] <Teligard> -r = recursive
[04:58] <lucid_j> Is there any open source city building game for linux like caesar of pharaoh?
[04:58] <pfifo> why not just killall xbmc
[04:58] <lucid_j> 0ad is nice but still in alpha..
[04:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: I know the way I have it works, that's all I'm saying.  If someone else has a easier way of doing it, please share.  My was is downloading the 32 bit, forcing the install with dpkg, and then creating a file in /etc/ to make it run smoother
[04:58] <ayecee> lucid_j: no, but I think there's one similar to simcity.
[04:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> *my way
[04:59] <Teligard> I'm alway concerned that something else will get killed as well
[04:59] <lucid_j> ayecee: which one?
[04:59] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: But there are multiple 32bits to choose from
[04:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: I downloaded the .deb
[04:59] <folorn> i tried everything peddy
[05:00] <ayecee> lucid_j: micropolis, maybe?
[05:00] <folorn> when i go to run the program it locks up, not sure on the video card it should work fine. how you see the name of the vid card ?
[05:00] <truepurple> Us3r_Unfriendly: No experience or knowledge of the APT one? Why did you choose deb?
[05:00] <ayecee> folorn: glxinfo, maybe
[05:00] <leapy0yo> is there a way to move files even whereas it says cannot remove destination... when the destination is the same.. i try -f to overwrite but it does not work for whole directories, i think
[05:00] <Peddy> folorn, to see your video card, try "lspci | grep -i vga"
[05:01] <folorn> i need this quake4 process killed but dont know the exact syntax
[05:02] <ayecee> folorn: which process?
[05:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> truepurple: if it was a apt, then it's a repo which you add to your software center...that's way when there's a update with flash, ubuntu will download it automatically through software update.  which in this case might be bad, seeing that you had to "ghetto rig" it to work.  The update might screw that up.  but I would say just do what your comfortable with.  apt is a way of doing it, so is the square, and my way
[05:02] <folorn> quake4
[05:02] <folorn> its stuck at the panel
[05:03] <ayecee> folorn: so you don't have a terminal available?
