[16:00] <natrixnatrix89> After I installed mythtv ubuntu always asks for password when I try to shutdown. Because it thinks other users are logged in so it wont let me shut down. How can I find what user could it be and delete that user?
[16:00] <matteo1990_> Hi all i have , according to lsusb, an Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode). It can't see my mobile phone and my wii controller... How can i fix it?
[16:00] <natrixnatrix89> How can i list users logged in?
[16:00] <skabasje> I cant install it. it says: Not available in the current data
[16:00] <DasEi> natrixnatrix89: who
[16:00] <genii> natrixnatrix89: or just "w"
[16:00] <giant> DasEi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/387073/
[16:01] <brokepunk> can anyone help me with a grep question
[16:01] <natrixnatrix89> DasEi: hmm. theres only me there
[16:01] <researcher1> whats the best way to clean uninstall and remove duplicate files/application ?

[16:01] <rifter> matteo1990_, the security on bluetooth devices requires that you give permission on the device for it to be seen and connected to

[16:01] <rmozden> So no one has any idea about ipset?
[16:01] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: what was the question?
[16:02] <skabasje> i dont get it. it's there, but I can't install it.
[16:02] <DasEi> natrixnatrix89: should there be others ?
 So I have about 95k lines worth of CIDR block addresses to add into my firewall which is iptables.  I dont want to do it that way because it will take forever to process the script.  I'd like to use ipset to do this and simplify the problem but is there a way to use it without recompiling the kernel??

[16:02] <rmozden> rifter, thx
[16:02] <chili555> brokepunk: ask the ? pls
[16:02] <rifter> rmozden, and I unfortunately have no clue ;)
[16:02] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: err... ok i'm out:D
[16:02] <Giant81> DasEi: I see line 807
[16:03] <holister> I'm trying to get autofs-nfs homedirs working, and they do, except one thing: the user's directories are created as the nobody user, which makes CrossOver refuse to run... the only thing i can find is 2 posts to mailing lists of people that are having the same problem and no responses...
[16:03] <remoteCTRL1> skabasje: what?
[16:03] <skabasje> All applications say the same
[16:03] <Kimo> i have a problem in my Xorg.conf
[16:03] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, I'm trying to avoid needing a kernel compile but it seems that I'm sol for that if I want to use ipset
[16:03] <remoteCTRL1> skabasje: paste your error message and explain what you are trying to acchieve
[16:03] <Kimo> i want a original xorg.conf for nvidia 5200
[16:03] <jiffe> how do I go about resizing an ext3 filesystem?  I have a vmware disk with no partitioning that I have an ext3 filesystem on, I resized the disk in vmware but when I run resize2fs it doesn't see a change
[16:03] <brokepunk> i was trying to use the " dpkg -l | grep virtualbox | pasteinit -" I  at the request of a person helping me work on a issue i am having with virtualbox...I do not have pasteinit and need to find a way to get the data he needs to a text doc
[16:04] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: sry buddy but this really exeeds my expertise...
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: you need to add the install cd as a repo in software sources
[16:04] <DasEi> natrixnatrix89: users and groups > to be set there, and whoami tells which user is currently your account
[16:04] <PyjamaSpank> I've got 2 hard drives. How can I change the order they show up in Nautilus under places? Something to do with fstab?
[16:04] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe: use gparted
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: id really get a wired connection though, makeslife so much easier
[16:04] <brokepunk> chili555: i was trying to use the " dpkg -l | grep virtualbox | pasteinit -" I  at the request of a person helping me work on a issue i am having with virtualbox...I do not have pasteinit and need to find a way to get the data he needs to a text doc
[16:04] <skabasje> I look them up in the software center, double click on em so i get the description, and it just says not available in the current data, license: open source, Price: free, Canocial provides critical updates for openoffice.org office suite *or any other app i look at* But no install button
[16:04] <llutz> brokepunk: dpkg -l | grep virtualbox  >file.foo
[16:04] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, This is what I get for trying to block the script kiddies
[16:04] <skabasje> I am on a wired connection
[16:04] <brokepunk> llutz: thank you, I will try that
[16:05] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: pardon?
[16:05] <feedmecereal> Hi folks. I'm trying to get a sound driver installed as described on http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/BrokenSoundDrivers but I get an error message when I try to install the package libasound2-dev. Can anyone help me with this?
[16:05] <chili555> brokepunk: dpkg -l | grep virtualbox > virtual.txt maybe??
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: cool. then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[16:05] <natrixnatrix89> DasEi: do you mean I should change the group I belong to or what?
[16:05] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, the need for ipset is so that my iptables script doesnt have 200k lines in it from all the country blocks and take 2 days to finish
[16:05] <skabasje> yeah, and ubuntu is designed to be easy
[16:06] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, script kiddies = wanna be hackers
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: its a lot easy, try install gentoo then tell me how easy ubuntu is
[16:06] <jiffe> parted doesn't see the change either
[16:06] <DasEi> giant: try a reboot, as I don't know the exact model and then re-do dmeg to see if upstart find a better driver now, sudo reboot
[16:06] <skabasje> gentoo? whats gentoo?
[16:06] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: yeah i know what those are but i never had the urge to protect myself against those with 200k lines of code...?
[16:06] <Stargaze> skabasje: check distrowatch.com
[16:06] <brokepunk> chili555: that did it... I tried the same, but added a second pipe...
[16:07] <brokepunk> clili555: thank you.
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: a very tecnical version of linux which starts you from a live text based environment which you slowly build by compiling source
[16:07] <skabasje> yes
[16:07] <Giant81> DasEi: true, we'll see what happens.  It's just been annoying.  I'm on a Dell 1745 laptop if that helps
[16:07] <skabasje> try installing windows, and see how hard ubuntu is
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: my first gentoo install took about a week and a half to get a desktop
[16:07] <chili555> brokepunk: glad its working
[16:07] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, I was blocking entire countries using CIDR addresses.  When I get rid of the rest of the world except from where I have friends/family/necessary needs of communication, it comes out to over 100k lines of CIDR addresses
[16:08] <remoteCTRL1> ActionParsnip: :DD with or without selinux?
[16:08] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, So by the time I translate that into drop commands for my firewall, is over 200k lines in my iptables script
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: on my main pc it took me 2 hours to get sound and increase page file in vista, it all works immediately out of te box in linux
[16:08] <skabasje> not with me now does it :P
[16:08] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: why the heck would you do that? linux is save man
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL1: just bootloader, kernel, xorg and fluxbox
[16:08] <skabasje> and am talking about windows 7.
[16:09] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: yeah when I run parted it won't let me resize larger than the original size
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: exactly so what is easy for one isnt easy for another
[16:09] <DasEi> natrixnatrix89: check if your regular user is in the admin group
[16:09] <skabasje> cuz tbh, no normal person would go running around entering commands to get his os wroking anymore
[16:09] <remoteCTRL1> ActionParsnip: well i knew its complicated but i wasnt aware that its freaknerdy...
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: generally, ubuntu is asier than other linuxes
[16:09] <Sattvic> Does anyone know if I can burn a 900MB ISO file with a Cd-Writer on a DVD?
[16:09] <natrixnatrix89> DasEi: yes. it is.
[16:09] <skabasje> no u cant
[16:09] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, it's safer then windows but considering I'm a info security analyst, I know *nix has it's downfalls too.  Why would I want to allow unnecessary traffic a means to even attempt to get in?
[16:09] <adarsha> @Sattvic: does the cd hold 900 mb?
[16:10] <skabasje> no
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL1: was my first one, i can throw one up in a day or so now
[16:10] <skabasje> he said dvd
[16:10] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe: got a lvm volume there? if so you need to extend the volume group before extending the volume
[16:10] <Giant81> DasEi: we're getting there. I now see the device under the sound preferences
[16:10] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: no, I just did an mkfs.ext3 on /dev/sdb directly
[16:10] <genii> Sattvic: CD and DVD use different kinds of lasers, so you can't use a CD writer to burn a DVD
[16:10] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: ever considered whitelisting instead of blacklisting?
[16:10] <adarsha> @Sattvic: Oh! u r burning to a dvd? u'll need a dvd writer na?
[16:10] <Sattvic> @adarsha: No, the CDs only go up to 800MB, but the DVDs go much higher - do I need a DVD burner for this?
[16:10] <adarsha> @Sattvic: yeah.
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> natrixnatrix89: if the iso is a dvd iso then yes, i recommend you use a usb stick (assuminig the destination system can boot usb)
[16:10] <remoteCTRL1> ActionParsnip: youre my hero, man:) with or without selinux? :D
[16:11] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, You have my attention on that - got something I can read to do it?
[16:11] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe: which is not so good you should create partitions there first, even if you plan on using the whole disk with it
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL1: not sure, guessing not, i just got lan and boot then installed fluxbox and let it bake overnight
[16:11] <seicherlbob> hi there! can someone tell me, how Pulse, Phonon, Alsa and Xine work together? I got troubles with the sound setup here and would like to know, how these things work together, before i start configuring everything.
[16:11] <Sattvic> @adarsha: even if it is an ISO image and not a DVD?
[16:12] <Guest88809> I a looking for a script that downloads deb packets including their dependencies, but doesn't install the packets.
[16:12] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: ok I'll give that a shot
[16:12] <adarsha> @Sattvic: iso images are just image files that can hold anything (either cd or dvd )
[16:12] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: err nothing specific now, but either you block it all and allow specific things to get through or you allow it all and block specific things which is what you are doing if i am not mistaken
[16:12] <skabasje> sudo apt-get upgrade;  what exactly does this do? It takes a lot of time.
[16:13] <remoteCTRL1> ActionParsnip: hehe 12h of compiling?
[16:13] <adarsha> @Sattvic: u can burn a cd iso image to a dvd, but u need the appropriate hardware for that. Cd writers can't burn dvds
[16:13] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe: good luck!
[16:13] <woody_> i have a question, i just got a gateway netbook and loaded it with xubuntu. i cant find drivers for the intel bluetooth or sd card reader. anyone know of a solution?
[16:13] <Sattvic> @adarsha:  Hmm - so can I transfer the iso file to my thumbdrive and give to my friend to burn an image for me?
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL1: 650Mhz cpu + 256Mb ram on PATA HDD, 12h + the rest
[16:13] <vverheijen> I a looking for a script that downloads deb packets including their dependencies, but doesn't install the packets.
[16:13] <Red_HamsterX> skabasje, it updates all of the software on your system.
[16:13] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, I'd use the hosts.deny files but there is a limitation there too on the ammount of lines that can be used at once
[16:13] <leander_craig> woody
[16:13] <remoteCTRL1> ActionParsnip: aw my gawd
[16:13] <gabriel> oi
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> vverheijen: apt-get can be told to only download
[16:13] <ujjain> So, that did not work :(
[16:13] <skabasje> that's quite a lot damn
[16:13] <gabriel> alqum br?
[16:14] <MrPockets> How oftern do you guys update Ubuntu?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL1: yep, was overnight then i had work so i didnt care
[16:14] <DasEi> natrixnatrix89: or your problem is the other way round, that myth starts a process as root in bootup, that stops the regular user from terminating it
[16:14] <leander_craig> onboard bluetooth or is it a dongle/
[16:14] <adarsha> @Sattvic: yeah.
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> MrPockets: nearly every 2 or 3 hours as I am on lucid
[16:14] <MrPockets> do you find it breaks things?
[16:14] <MrPockets> the updates?
[16:14] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: look dude IF iuse iüptables i install firestarter and use that one as an ordinary standard firewall with gui n stuff, block it all and then open up for specific things, that gives me like 30 lines in the iptables config;)
[16:14] <woody_> my bluetooth is onboard, as is the card reader
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> MrPockets: no never
[16:15] <remoteCTRL1> ActionParsnip: did it just for the fun of it or are you actually working with it?
[16:15] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, This isnt for my desktop, it's for my server
[16:15] <Giant81> DasEi: , I'm sure you get this quite often, but THANK YOU, a couple clicks through the preferences and I've got sound
[16:15] <Sattvic> @adarsha: thanks for the info
[16:15] <DasEi> !yay | giant
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL1: its a headless samba/torrent/file/backup server
[16:16]  * Dan_E is happy for Giant81 been there!
[16:16] <Giant81> DasEi: I went through the same preferences before I started messing with it, and they wouldn't work, the new drivers are probably what did it
[16:16] <motaka2> how to update list of installed packages
[16:16] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: well in that case skip the gui, yet still block it all and then open up what you need to have opened... blacklisting 200k lines of ipadresses apeears quite exagerated to me
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL1: although its making some nasty noises lately so might get a fitpc to replace
[16:16] <brokepunk> ActionParsnip: you are doing backups to the same place you have your torrents?
[16:16] <adarsha> @Sattvic: sure! :)
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> brokepunk: no, to a firewire hdd
[16:17] <brokepunk> ActionParsnip: ok... bad business, that
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> brokepunk: why?
[16:17]  * Giant81 thinks !yay does not convey his happyness.  There should be a !w00t
[16:17] <skabasje> uhm
[16:17] <Giant81> !w00t Giant81
[16:17] <DasEi> Giant81: yes, with that vid it'll be more fun in lucid for you, as the graphics are up quite far, a matter of time when sound (which is better chipset) will do, also
[16:17] <skabasje> the updates asks me something :P
[16:17] <remoteCTRL1> ActionParsnip: i see... i really like those network storage arrays with samba... but dont ask me for specifics now i just accidentally found an articel the other day that i am for sure not ever gonna find again:D
[16:17] <charzero> If I want to have an xfs formatted device as /var but xfs is in a module, is it sufficient to have / (and /lib) mounted before /var (fs_passno=2 for /var) or do I have to set something else up?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> brokepunk: stuff is stored locally, backup runs every night to the firewire
[16:17] <skabasje> what's a grub?
[16:17] <brokepunk> ActionParsnip: if all you have is nameless data in your backups, I guess not bad at all..
[16:17] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: does the same thing on /dev/sdb1
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: its the bootloader
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> brokepunk: its worked for a good while
[16:18] <skabasje> ah, it says there is a new version or something, and that the current one has been locally modified, what do I do?
[16:18] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe: seriously? you got one partition on your sdb device now, right? and youre trying to INCREASE that one?
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[16:18] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, My firewall is custom since it does some rate limiting, connection tweaks and then firewall rules. When I get some botnet trying to get to samba shares/firewalled ports, it junks up my connection.  Since I get them from multiple countries, the best solution to be proactive was to block all except where I do work at or have communications with.  ipset would be the ideal way to set that up as I would only need 4 li
[16:18] <rmozden> nes in my iptables script to use that 'group' and also be able to adjust it on the fly as need be.
[16:18] <skabasje> install the package maintainer's version, keep the local version currently installed
[16:19] <rmrfslash> So why is TinyCore 10 MB and Ubuntu Mini is 133 MB
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: if its a new install use the maintainers
[16:19] <skabasje> k
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> rmrfslash: puppy is 80mb
[16:19] <rmrfslash> DSL is 50 MB
[16:19] <charzero> How do I get it to load kernel modules before setting up other filesystems?
[16:19] <rmrfslash> ok so Ubuntu Mini is 133
[16:20] <rmrfslash> how could it be that large
[16:20] <DasEi> natrixnatrix89: I found a similar issue to yours, but I'm little nervous, it suggests removing some part of pulseaudio, but I'm not in the deep of myth (too much overhead for my uses), but -own your own risk, we can try this
[16:20] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: i dont get you buddy you can just block it all, and then whitelist the ips that you are working on
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> rmrfslash: theres ulite too, not sure the size there
[16:20] <delimax> hello all. i installed karmic x64 yesterday and i'm very impressed so far at how easy it is to use. it's great!
[16:21] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: without having to block it on a per ip basis that is completely weird, dude;)
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> rmrfslash: depends whats in it, you will most likely find its kernel modules and drivers
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> delimax: glad you like it
[16:21] <skabasje> is there like, a short key to open the terminal?
[16:21] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, Not really.  You ever worked in IT security?  It's done like that all the time
[16:21] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: that is correct, created 1 partition with fdisk and mkfs'ed to ext3, expanded it from 8gb to 12gb in vmware and parted is still showing max of 8587MB even after reboot
[16:21] <rmrfslash> Then I guess it's a mystery how TimyCore got so tiny
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: i use guake and use F12 to drop down/hide the terminal
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: if you are using kde then use yakuake
[16:22] <ervasd> http://www.e-castig.com/index.php?r=pszR
[16:22] <skabasje> o.o
[16:22] <skabasje> yakuake? are you making up words now? :P
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> !info yakuake | skabasje
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: so, no I'm not making up words
[16:23] <skabasje> yes! now I know exactly what it does :P
[16:23] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: i adminster two university institutes and i use ipcop as a firewall and i do it the way that i described, IBLOCK EVERYTHING! and then i open up specifc ports for either ALL or for specific ips and thats it
[16:23] <ervasd> http://www.e-castig.com/index.php?r=pszR
[16:23] <ervasd> http://www.e-castig.com/index.php?r=pszR
[16:23] <FloodBot2> ervasd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:23] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: alright, I was choosing /dev/sdb1 when running parted, when running it against /dev/sdb and choosing partition 1 I am now getting that there is an incompatible feature enabled on it
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> skabasje: so you can use guake instead of terminal and a hotkey will hide / show the terminal
[16:24] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe: there you go! do the partitioning in gparted and then youll be fine, just delete and recreate it
[16:24] <skabasje> thanks!
[16:25] <charzero> How do I get the moduels in /etc/modules to be loaded before filesystems in /etc/fstab with an fs_passno of 2?
[16:25] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, I'll look into it
[16:25] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: that sounds destructuve
[16:25] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: destructive rather
[16:25] <skabasje> sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[16:25] <skabasje> I did this one. Now what do I do :$?
[16:25] <stdisease> jiffe, try a resize2fs again on it, back up your stuff
[16:25] <Hebram> rmozden:  The way that remoteCTRL1 explains is the way to do it.  Otherwise you will be configuring firewall rules until the end of time.  Deny all then allow what you need.
[16:26] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: you gotta consider one thing: dynamic ips its completely useless attempting to block script kiddies by ip if they got a new one in 8 hours;)
[16:26] <remoteCTRL1> Hebram: thanks dude:)
[16:26] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, That why you block via a CIDR
[16:26] <jiffe> stdisease: resize2fs still says 'The filesystem is already 2096474 blocks long.  Nothing to do!'
[16:26] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe: sure is, same as mk3fs
[16:26] <ujjain> does it matter if I not unmount a partitoin? because it errors.
[16:27] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: come again?
[16:27] <DasEi> ujjain: more whole story ?
[16:27] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: yeah, I'm not trying to recreate it, I was hoping to be able to just resize it
[16:27] <abhi_nav> !details | ujjain
[16:27] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe: if you mk3fsed it previously your data are gone anyways;)
[16:28] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, I've never blocked by individual ip address, always by CIDR address so I catch their entire network.  ie:  <IP_ADDRESS>/8 addressing
[16:28] <jiffe> remoteCTRL1: I'm doing this on a test machine before I do it elsewhere
[16:28] <stdisease> abhi_nav, DasEi : heh whoever it is they quit, people!
[16:28] <abhi_nav> I see
[16:28] <abhi_nav> I didnt notice that
[16:28] <remoteCTRL1> jiffe wise thing to do:)
[16:29] <abhi_nav> stdisease:   :) :) :)
[16:29] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: look you consider yourself an it security specialist, i dont want to appear condescending but learn your basics, man
[16:30] <stdisease> blech this candy tastes rather surgical
[16:30] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: we got a saying in my country: to carry the church arround the cross and that is what youre doing
[16:31] <Snicksie> i got a question about ubuntu-one, the online storage. I got a launchpad account, have an online storage, but it looks like there's something wrong. i can't really connect or so, are there some things i'm missing? (standard 9.10 configuration, upgraded from a clean 9.04 ubuntu)
[16:31] <bitsmart> hi folks, I am wondering if fuseblk is only used to mount a drive when the user is non-root? that is my first question...
[16:31] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, I never called myself a specalist, just stated my job title.  An anylast isnt a specalist.  As for the whitelist bit, I'm reading as we chat so no need for belittling me nor will I feed into it's behavior
[16:32] <Hebram> rmozden:  You can do it anyway you want.    You can either be reactive 24/7 and do it your way, or just allow what you *need*.  The latter requires administration only once in a while.
[16:32] <Pici> Snicksie: Ubuntu One support is in #ubuntuone
[16:32] <Snicksie> okay, thanks Pici ;)
[16:33] <stdisease> bitsmart, fuseblk is used to mount a file a system whose support is written using the FUSE framework
[16:33] <remoteCTRL1> rmozden: sorry if i offended you but you really need to understand that in your line of business!:)
[16:33] <remoteCTRL1> ok nice evening everybody
[16:33] <rmozden> Hebram, took me 5 min to generate the rules via my parse script
[16:33] <stdisease> bitsmart, root or non-root
[16:34] <jhammel> i'm trying to get full resolution (widescreen) working in fluxbox;  it works in gnome, so the system is capable, and works if i run gnome-session in fluxbox and change with the gnome-display-properties app
[16:34] <jhammel> anyone know where i should look?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> jhammel: use xorg.conf dude
[16:34] <andreas__> How can i record my mic and my speaker in recordmydesktop..?
[16:34] <stdisease> jhammel, try command 'xrandr'
[16:34] <Pelusa> kien ere
[16:34] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, My line of business is an auditor.  Why I didnt get that title with it I dont know.  My main focus is PCI-DSS
[16:35] <jhammel> stdisease: thanks, looking into it
[16:35] <Hebram> rmozden:  And how much extra load are you putting on your firewall processing all those extra rules?
[16:35] <jhammel> ActionParsnip: well, funny thing
[16:35] <Pelusa> in spanish please
[16:35] <jhammel> ActionParsnip: i can't find an xorg.conf on my system
[16:35] <stdisease> !es | Pelusa
[16:35] <bitsmart> stdisease: ok, thanks. my next question is if I want my ntfs HDD mounted through fstab, can I use the syntax generated by Xwindows to mount it? in other words, it successfully mounts when I double-click it, and appears like so in mtab:  /dev/sda1 /media/Media_ fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0       so can I then add that to fstab and have it work?
[16:36] <stdisease> bitsmart, use filesystem type 'ntfs-3g' and options 'defaults'
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> jhammel: karmic doesn't ship with one but if one exists it will be obeyed
[16:36] <dogge10> hey, is it possible to mount a usb pen drive as a non-root user with write permissions on that user under 9.10?
[16:36] <rmozden> Hebram, Amazingly enough, it doesnt load on the mahine much but takes forever to process.  Considering I have a twin dual-core HE rackmount in my house, only saw 30% of one proc being used to process it
[16:36] <bitsmart> stdisease, like this?   /dev/sda1                     /media/Media    ntfs  defaults                  0  0
[16:36] <bitsmart> err
[16:36] <jhammel> ActionParsnip: ahh, good to know;  it seems strange that it wouldn't be there
[16:36] <bitsmart> stdisease, like this?   /dev/sda1                     /media/Media    ntfs-3g  defaults                  0  0
[16:36] <stdisease> bitsmart, ntfs-3g not 'ntfs'
[16:37] <andreas__> How can i record my mic and my speaker in recordmydesktop..?
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> jhammel: oh ive madeplenty of noise about this dude, very annoying for those folks who actually needit
[16:37] <pjmtlg> Hi all. Any chance one of you guys use espn player on ubuntu ?
[16:37] <jhammel> ActionParsnip: and those that expect to find it; thanks
[16:37] <stdisease> bitsmart, yes, but best to leave /media for dynamically mounted media, use something under /mnt instead . but those are just conveniences of course that line is valid
[16:37] <Rolo> Hiya.  After installing an update the other day to my Karmic 64 system I can now only log in to Gnome  in Failsafe mode.  I don't know what to do next.  Nobody's really made any suggestion on the forum, can anyone help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8904814#post8904814 Thanks loads for any assitance!
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> Rolo: do you get a log on screen?
[16:38] <dogge10> hey, is it possible to mount a usb pen drive as a non-root user with write permissions on that user under 9.10?
[16:38] <bitsmart> stdisease, ok thanks. now how can I get that drive to be unmounted at shutdown or reboot? do I have to add a line into the halt and reboot scripts?
[16:39] <rmozden> remoteCTRL1, Whitelisting is going to be a problem too since that in itself is about 30k lines of allows
[16:39] <Rolo> ActionParsip> Yes, I get the login screen, then I enter my username and password and the screen goes blank for a moment then the login screen just comes back.  I don't see an error and can't find any in logs, but not sure which logs I should be looking in.  Thanks for your help :>
[16:39] <Rolo> Can log in via SSH and FreeNX.  Tried installing KDE to see what that did but that fails in the same way as loggin in to Gnome.
[16:39] <papapep> Rolo: try to run "startx" as regular user, and see what error messages it shows
[16:40] <Rolo> papapep: I logged in via tty and tried to run startx this morning and it said it wouldnt run as it was already running.  I removed the tmp file and it said the same thing, I can't remember if that was with sudo or not.
[16:40] <Rolo> I'm remote at the mo
[16:40] <stdisease> bitsmart, it'll be mounted and unmounted automatically just as for the other file systems on your fstab
[16:40] <savage_arrow> hello
[16:41] <papapep> Rolo: then you should wait to be local
[16:41] <Rolo> papapep: if I run startx via ssh it says X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[16:41] <Rolo> xinit:  Server error.
[16:41] <Rolo> Is that expected?
[16:41] <papapep> Rolo: yes
[16:41] <bitsmart> stdisease, ok. I was concerned because twice now the drive seems to have gotten errors and needed to be checked by chkdsk in Windows, and I wondered if maybe it was not being unmounted
[16:42] <Rolo> Okay, I can come back later when I'm local if need be.  In the meantime, is there any log I can check for some sort of error?  It's hard to search for help with no error message.
[16:42] <jiffe> cool, got it to work, recreating the partition with fdisk isn't as destructive as I thought
[16:42] <digitig> Ok, what does this error mean, and what do I do about it? (Received when running system update): "W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://repository.cairo-dock.org karmic Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2"
[16:42] <skabasje> I installed the NDIS wrapper, but the bottom of the tutorial says it's been corrected with the new ubuntu, but it doesnt work. my wifi doesnt work.
[16:43] <jcrawford> hey guys any thoughts as to why my apache would be looking for an .htaccess in my ~/ directory?  I setup a vhost that is giving a 403 Forbidden due to this error. [Tue Mar 02 11:20:21 2010] [crit] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] (13)Permission denied: /home/jocrawfo/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
[16:43] <jcrawford> i used the Ubuntu apache packages
[16:45] <teage> does anyone know where ubuntu 9.10 keeps the wireless drivers at?
[16:46] <papapep> Rolo: usually in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:46] <dimuls> teage, there is no drivers in linux
[16:47] <stdisease> jcrawford, like it said, is that file ~/.htaccess readable to the apache server ? What are the permissions on that file? and what user:group is apache running as?
[16:47] <dimuls> teage, its called module for kernel
[16:47] <rifter> ok, so I am trying to figure out how to make my removable media (like usb drives) mount to consistent, sensible places.  However,the old way of doing this, with hal and rules, is apparently deprecated in 9.10, and all the gui methods of changing this are gone as well
[16:47] <teage> dimuls: then why did i have to install it. ? i had to install the driver.
[16:47] <teage> dimuls: ic
[16:47] <stdisease> teage, driver *is* usually just a module
[16:48] <SilverFox> what would cause connecting to my webserver to be slow (once connected, everything is quick)?  Connecting via IP is slow as well.   Should I be looking at UFW or Apache?
[16:48] <rifter> the only post I have found that even tries to pretend to talk about 9.10 suggests using fstab, but the problem with that is anything you put there the system is going to try to mount at boot. fstab is notthe right place for removable media imho
[16:48] <skabasje> vim: command not found
[16:48] <ni1s> teage, /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/net/wireless probably
[16:48] <dimuls> i don't know what you did.. but there is no drivers in linux
[16:48] <stdisease> SilverFox, or DNS...
[16:48] <ni1s> dimuls, ofcourse there is
[16:48] <rifter> besides that, fstab requires the mountpoint to exist.  whatever gnome is doingto mount things in /media does not require that
[16:48] <SilverFox> stdisease: connecting via IP is slow as well.
[16:49] <SilverFox> or maybe php...
[16:49] <rifter> I realize that using UUIDs is going to be part of my solution, I jsut need to figure out where to put them
[16:50] <rifter> we got rid of hal... what is in itsplace?
[16:50] <dimuls> ni1s, where?
[16:50] <ni1s> rifter, a custom HAL fdi file should probably do the trick
[16:50] <stdisease> rifter, we did? It's still there in 10.4 alpha
[16:50] <ni1s> dimuls, where what?
[16:50] <rifter> nils, hal files apparently no longer work in 9.10
[16:51] <dimuls> ni1s, sory, nothing
[16:51] <f3n1x> How to run a program async. via console in DEBIAN?
[16:51] <rifter> stdisease, well then what I am reading is wrong in the wikidocs, howtos, and forums.. it all says hal is deprecated in 9.10 and that the rules no longer work
[16:51] <stdisease> rifter, ass for trying to automatically mount at boot you can append 'noauto' to options
[16:51] <Pici> f3n1x: ask in #debian
[16:51] <skabasje> seriously, how do I add a line to a file, If I can't safe it?
[16:51] <Jimi_Neutral> Does anyone know why when i boot into clonezilla with a client to be cloned i get an error saying cannot continue because the path does not exist even though it does? It is a slave drive, permissions are set so it can be written to and everything is good as far as I can see
[16:51] <stdisease> rifter, *as , oops
[16:51] <Kwpolska> cya
[16:51] <rifter> stdisease, in fstab you mean ..put noauto?
[16:52] <stdisease> rifter, correct, fstab
[16:52] <Kimo> hello
[16:52] <Kimo> hi
[16:52] <papapep> f3n1x: anacron?
[16:52] <ni1s> rifter, HAL runs on my 9.10
[16:52] <Kimo> How to remove all graphique seting frm ubuntu
[16:52] <spartano> \server irc.en3rgie.net
[16:52] <Kimo> to become like the first instalation
[16:52] <rifter> stdisease, if I do it that way, will the drive still automatically mount when I attach it?
[16:53] <Amnesia> sorry i am new to ubuntu and stated just today so i was wondering if any1 could tell me how to log in through super user account in ubuntu..... i hav eversion 8.10
[16:53] <Pici> !sudo | Amnesia
[16:53] <spartano> \server irc.darksin.net
[16:53] <jcrawford> stdisease, the question is WHY it is looking in my home directory for an .htaccess at all
[16:53] <Kimo> SomeOne can help me plz
[16:53] <rifter> nils, ok.. so you have custom hal rules?  because if those still work, I think it might be a better solution than fstab
[16:53] <dogge10> hey, is it possible to mount a usb pen drive as a non-root user with write permissions on that user under 9.10?
[16:54] <dimuls> Kimo, maybe remove old user and add new one
[16:54] <yarri> !gksu
[16:54] <stdisease> rifter, if HAL is running I think it'll mount it according to fstab rules, but I can't be sure. Otherwise just mount from command line, put option 'user' to avoid sudo
[16:54] <Kimo> how i can do that
[16:54] <Pici> !who
[16:54] <Stargaze> Kimo: http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2009/05/14/ubuntu-9-04-cleanup-with-computer-janitor/
[16:54] <skabasje> please help :P I'm getting tired of trying...
[16:54] <albech> is there no zlib-dev package available?
[16:55] <ni1s> albech, zlib1g-dev
[16:55] <Kimo> non non i have some trouble in X.org and graphique card i want to restore my pc like the first use
[16:55] <rifter> stdisease, well, I want the drives to still automount when they get attached,like they do now.  I just want to change the mountpoint to something more sensible than the uuid, which is what they mount as now
[16:55] <ni1s> skabasje, whats the problem?
[16:55] <albech> ni1s, ahh thanks
[16:55] <ni1s> albech, you're welcome
[16:55] <skabasje> I cant get the wireless driver to work. I tried this 4 times alread, and I really want to use ubuntu
[16:56] <ni1s> skabasje, what's card do you have?
[16:56] <Kimo>  i have some trouble in X.org and graphique card i want to restore my pc like the first use
[16:56] <stdisease> rifter, on my debian sid for example, they mount as '/media/disk' /media/disk-1 etc.. there must be a config file you could configure somewhere, anyway that doesn't matter much when you only use GUI apps, you just click on the volume's icon
[16:56] <skabasje> broadcom BCM94311MCG
[16:57] <Stargaze> skabasje: internal or external?
[16:57] <dimuls> skabasje, notebook? netbook?
[16:57] <dogge10> is it possible to mount a usb pen drive as a non-root user with write permissions on that user under 9.10?
[16:57] <skabasje> notebook, in my laptop, not a usb device
[16:57] <Kimo> ho to restore Ubuntu like after format
[16:57] <drizzt_> (1) how can I install Ubuntu into the separate folder?
[16:57] <amnesia> how does one log into the super user account in ubuntu 8.10
[16:58] <Hede}_> can you make "perform" (as i mirc) in gnome Qchat?
[16:58] <Stargaze> amnesia: use 'sudo'
[16:58] <drizzt_> amnesia, by using suid binaries
[16:58] <dimuls> skabasje, model?
[16:58] <ni1s> Kimo, try moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup and see if it restores it
[16:58] <Pici> amnesia: Did you look at the website that ubottu told you earlier about sudo?
[16:58] <skabasje> uhm
[16:58] <skabasje> acer extensa 5220
[16:58] <Kimo> non all x.org in my pc have the same prob
[16:58] <rifter> stdisease, yes, well, mine are mounting as things like /media/b8af5814-48aa-4a6a-9b65-360740c79477 which isn't very easy to discern (it's from the uid) and besides I do use command line as well.  the mount command can put them in different places, but I want the automounter to do it. there are instructions on how, butthey require creating these rules fro the hal
[16:59] <dimuls> skabasje, try to google "acer extensa 5220 linux wifi"
[16:59] <Pici> drizzt_: Can you elaborate your question?  What folder are you talking about?
[16:59] <amnesia> @pici tell me the name of the site again...... i logged out and tried su and [password]
[16:59] <rifter> stdisease, it use dto be that in ubuntu you oculd configure this form the gui, but as of 9.10 you no longer can
[16:59] <dimuls> skabasje, or "acer extensa 5220 ubuntu wifi"
[16:59] <ni1s> Kimo, what's the error you are getting?
[16:59] <Pici> amnesia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:59] <drizzt_> Pici, some arbitraty folder under /
[16:59] <amnesia> thx
[16:59] <stdisease> rifter, no idea sorry, never used 9.10
[16:59] <drizzt_> drizzt_, with dualboot
[16:59] <jcrawford> so anyone that can help with the ubuntu install of apache or should i ask in #apache?
[17:00] <rifter> stdisease, and gnome-mount isn't there anymore.. that was an easy hal rule generator as well as the way gmoe was mounting things, if I am reaidng right
[17:00] <Kimo> i have this message
[17:00] <Kimo> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:  Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[17:00] <skabasje> I already told u, I tried this 4 times, I tried google as well
[17:00] <jcrawford> not sure why the error log is saying it cannot read an .htaccess file in my user directory.  I am not even sure why it is looking in my user directory ~/.htaccess
[17:00] <Stargaze> jcrawford: in Synaptic, go to Edit > Mark packages by task
[17:01] <dimuls> jcrawford, try to google lamp
[17:01] <rifter> stdisease, here is one of many places where they tell how to write udev rules http://www.debianhelp.org/node/9937
[17:01] <papapep> jcrawford: I suppose you should review carefully your vhost settings
[17:01] <Pici> drizzt_: you need to install Ubuntu on a partition by itself.  If you want you can mount that partition within your other OS so that it shows up like its in another path though.
[17:01] <Kimo> how i can rmove pricipal user and switching to another
[17:01] <Pici> !google > dimuls
[17:01] <jcrawford> my vhost is correct, i have checked several times
[17:01] <jcrawford> dimuls, i would rather not use a lamp stack, just need apache working
[17:02] <jcrawford> Stargaze, what should I look for there?
[17:02] <drizzt_> Pici, you mean virtual disk?
[17:02] <stdisease> rifter, do you get anything when you run 'pidof hald' for example?
[17:02] <papapep> jcrawford: well as it doesn't work, it can't be that correct
[17:02] <papapep> there's something you're missing
[17:02] <Pici> drizzt_: No. I'm just talking about mounting a partition on a mountpoint,.
[17:02] <jcrawford> papapep, it is correct my co-worker has the same config set on his machine and it works
[17:02] <gui_> do I need to sign with my own key to crypt a message with public foreign key (gpg) ?
[17:02] <drizzt_> Pici, I cannot create a separate partition :(
[17:02] <gui_> I have no key and want to send a crypted message
[17:03] <jcrawford> but for some reason my install is seeking out an .htaccess in /home/jocrawfo/ which is nothing I setup
[17:03] <Kimo> someone can help me
[17:03] <gui_> I don't have my private key there !
[17:03] <Kimo> i want to talk in privat
[17:03] <abhi_nav> Yes sure
[17:03] <abhi_nav> private? why?
[17:03] <jcrawford> and I do not need MySQL installed just Apache
[17:03] <jcrawford> so marking by task is not what I need
[17:03] <jcrawford> :)
[17:04] <rifter> stdisease, yes there is a hald running, but I read that the way the rules work is changed in 9.10 in several places, including here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1301557
[17:04] <skabasje> google doesnt help me that well right now
[17:04] <dimuls> Kimo, System->Users and Groups
[17:04] <volve> hello all, I'm having trouble googling for this topic so hoped folks here might know. I have some large disk images that I want to compress, and I'd like to find a way to distribute the compression across multiple systems on my lan. Are there any tools to do this at all?
[17:05] <Pici> jcrawford: Why is apache looking at your home directory, did you setup a vhost to look there? If so, then www-data needs to be able to read the directory, even if you don't have an .htaccess file there.
[17:05] <papapep> Kimo: i you talk in private nobody else gets that experience
[17:06] <jcrawford> Pici, no i did not set my vhost to be there, my vhost is /home/jocrawfo/workspace/ovife/
[17:06] <dimuls> skabasje, http://www.linlap.com/wiki/acer+extensa+5220
[17:06] <papapep> s/i/if
[17:06] <jcrawford> I tried putting an htaccess file there, setting it readable and set the group to www-data but it still complains.  that's why I am frustrated i don't know WHY it is even looking in that directory
[17:06] <dimuls> skabasje, first finded, look at the bottom
[17:06] <KB1JWQ> Is there a Ubuntu equivalent for "yum provides?"
[17:06] <Pici> jcrawford: Hm.. Then it shouldn't really care.  I think that #httpd might be able to help you more (thats the Apache support channel)
[17:06] <Pici> KB1JWQ: What does 'yum provides' do?
[17:07] <jcrawford> Pici, thanks i was not sure if they would support the ubuntu install as it is not typical :)
[17:07] <ubuntu> hello
[17:07] <ubuntu> :D
[17:07] <skabasje> This site won't be updated anymore. Please check the b43 driver page at linuxwireless.org for up-to-date information.
[17:07] <KB1JWQ> Pici: You feed it the name of a file, it checks the package repositories and returns a match for packages that provide that file.
[17:07] <Traveler2> hello
[17:08] <abhi_nav> which is the french ubuntu support channel?
[17:08] <stdisease> KB1JWQ,
[17:08] <abhi_nav> Kimo needs it
[17:08] <DasEi> KB1JWQ: apt-cache depends / apt-cache show
[17:08] <Pici> KB1JWQ: You can use apt-file to acheive that. Its a separate package though, and is not installed by default.  After installing make sure that you run   sudo apt-file update   first.  Or, if the package is already installed, you can use dpkg -S filename
[17:08] <rifter> stdisease, nils ok I think I may have answered my own question.. but I'm going to figure it out. Like I was saying before, the old place tyto write these rules, /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi is deprecated now
[17:08] <papapep> abhi_nav: ubuntu-fr?
[17:08] <Kimo> yeah
[17:08] <KB1JWQ> ate package though, and is not installed by default.  After  installing make sure that you run   sudo apt-file update   first.  Or, if the package is already installed, you can  use dpkg -S filename
[17:08] <skabasje> seriously
[17:08] <skabasje> do you expect me to understand this? :(
[17:08] <rifter> stdisease, nils however it looks like maybe udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d hsould work in 9.10
[17:09] <abhi_nav> papapep: ok he is now gone there. thnx
[17:09] <worren> hola
[17:09] <worren> hi
[17:09] <papapep> abhi_nav: ;)
[17:09] <abhi_nav> !hi | worren
[17:09] <abhi_nav> papapep: :)
[17:09] <rifter> stdisease, nils I am about to find out :PP
[17:09] <worren> español?
[17:10] <KB1JWQ> Pici, DasEi: Thanks!  I'll check into it.
[17:10] <papapep> worren: español en ubuntu-es

[17:11] <rmozden> !ipset
[17:11] <arand_> luciid3: you can simply add the repo, install and if it seems to work, just diasble it and ignore further updates...
[17:11] <Guest71294> Hey, I just downloaded the windows installer, and tried to install ubuntu, and it finished 100% whenever I booted into it, but now every time I try to boot it it takes me to a dos like screen
[17:12] <DasEi> luciid3: either you use the stable ones or add an repo  for daily builds, have it with your common updates included
[17:12] <skabasje> "Okay so you have a wireless card that shows up in ubuntu but doesnt connect to any wireless network?"
[17:12] <skabasje> how do i know if it shows up?
[17:12] <skabasje> :P
[17:12] <luciid3> so there are stable CHROMIUM binaries?
[17:12] <luciid3> i only see these snapshots
[17:12] <d3c0n> guest is there a marque just blinking? and how long does it stay there
[17:13] <Guest71294> it just stays like that, and it talks about like tabbing for a list of commands
[17:13] <Guest71294> blinking cursor
[17:13] <arand_> Guest71294: It's the grub screen?
[17:13] <DasEi> luciid3: still in development, gues you're right there
[17:13] <Guest71294> yeah!
[17:13] <Guest71294> grub
[17:13] <stdisease> Guest71294, right you need to replace a buggy file, let me get you a link
[17:14] <dimuls> skabasje, try this http://linuxers.org/howto/how-install-drivers-bcm43xx-chipset-based-wireless-cards-ubuntu
[17:14] <abhi_nav> Does so many frequesnt installation of (any) os reduces hdd life?
[17:15] <papapep> abhi_nav: as any other hd usage. They have an estimated lifetime. The more you make it work, the more you shorten it :)
[17:15] <NewWorld> abhi_nav:  I think any read/write operations reduce it's life.
[17:15] <dimuls> skabasje, use your brain=)
[17:15] <misiek200m> hello ;)
[17:15] <abhi_nav> papapep: & NewWorld: ok. thnx
[17:15] <xfact> abhi_nav: I believe so, every time during new installation it updates the bad sectors, which may reduce your HDD space a little and life more
[17:15] <d3c0n> guest your grub screen doesnt have options on it like ubuntu build blah blah
[17:15] <abhi_nav> xfact: hmm thnx
[17:16] <xfact> abhi_nav: No problem :)
[17:16] <abhi_nav> xfact: :)
[17:16] <hanaita> hola
[17:16] <Guest71294> Ummm it has command options but I don't know how to do any of them besides like reboot

[17:17] <d3c0n> guest to load ubuntu u will need to select ubuntu on the top not the fail safe one, to load windows it should be on the bottom of the grub screen, use the arrows and enter to seleect which kernel you want to load
[17:17] <hanaita> jajajajajajajajaja callate
[17:18] <Guest71294> I don't think my grub screen gave me any boot options

[17:20] <maroy> hi, I have a question regarding the reconfiguration of a mainline kernel packages, that apt is always trying to do
[17:20] <d3c0n> guest could be a kernel panic, are you installing on a mb bios raid?
[17:20] <Lachance> skabasje, What's up?
[17:21] <hanaita> bla bla bla bla
[17:21] <maroy> basically at the end of every apt-get install or similar action, I get the following:
[17:21] <dimuls> skabasje, relax, it's easy... but take some time
[17:21] <maroy> http://pastebin.com/dzfFzHwU
[17:21] <Lachance> !ask | maroy
[17:21] <hanaita> hablar en español
[17:22] <sixofour> so i downloaded the rt-kernal via apt-get, but when i restart linux defaults to the generic kernal... how do i switch to the rt kernal??
[17:22] <Guest71294> Alright I am going to try to boot again
[17:22] <stdisease> sixofour, can't you select which kernel to boot in the GRUB menu?
[17:22] <hanaita> Cristina donde estas
[17:22] <maroy> how do I make eithe apt go through with the configuration of the package (it fails at creating an initrd), or just ignore the whole thing. creating the initrd manually works fine. see the outpt again here: http://pastebin.com/dzfFzHwU
[17:22] <sixofour> there is no grubn menu
[17:22] <sixofour> grub
[17:22] <dimuls> skabasje, try "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter"
[17:22] <sixofour> pressin g esc does nothing also
[17:23] <Stargaze> skabasje: in Synaptic, search for 'wireless'
[17:23] <skabasje> works.
[17:23] <stdisease> sixofour, what does /etc/default/grub look like?
[17:23] <dimuls> skabasje, i just entered in synaptics search "bcm43xx"
[17:23] <sixofour> um
[17:23]  * xfact is confused with Empathy IRC commands
[17:24] <Stargaze> your wireless works now skabasje ?
[17:24] <arand_> sixofour: hold down shift when booting to get to grub menu.
[17:24] <sixofour> stdisease: its empty
[17:24] <jingya> hello
[17:25] <skabasje> dimuls, your line works, it asks me something, the bcm43xx driver needs extracted firmare which can not be shipped to be working. this firmware can be automatically fetched and extracted as a part of installing this package. fetch and extract firmware? <yes> / <no>
[17:25] <Lachance> !hi | jingya
[17:25] <dimuls> skabasje, yeah
[17:25] <skabasje> I should pick yes?
[17:26] <stdisease> skabasje, what do you think.. of course :)
[17:26] <corni> hi how do yi get the ubuntu version on the cli?
[17:26] <corni> *I?
[17:26] <stdisease> corni, lsb_release -a
[17:26] <ajnewbold> When running from the live CD, I saw the "restricted drivers available" message and it detected wifi and video hardware/drivers.  But after installation, it's not doing that, and the hardware manager thing says that no proprietary drivers are available.  any idea what I can try?
[17:27] <corni> stdisease: thanks!
[17:27] <Lachance> corni, cat /etc/issue works too. =D
[17:27] <Lxndr> Hello! I installed ubuntu successfully from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-wubi. Unfortunately, it set up a dual-boot situation, which defaults to windows. What's the best way to make this default to ubuntu (and/or remove windows)?
[17:28] <Lachance> Lxndr, Do you wish to remove Windows?
[17:28] <sixofour> stdisease: etc/default/grub is empty
[17:28] <rbellamy> What's the best channel for c++ dev on ubuntu?
[17:28] <stdisease> sixofour, do you even have grub installed? what OS loader are you using? how did you install your linux system?
[17:28] <kamil> Witam ;)
[17:28] <sixofour> it uses grub
[17:28] <Myrtti> Lxndr: with that method of installation, you can't really remove it
[17:28] <stdisease> rbellamy, just join #c++ for dev on any OS
[17:29] <rbellamy> stdisease, outstanding... thanks
[17:29] <Jeruvy> Lxndr: since wubi is a windows installer, you'd not do well to remove windows.  Editing grub for boot sequence can be done however.  If you don't want windows you should do a normal install, not with wubi.
[17:29] <Lachance> !dev | rbellamy
[17:29] <Nijverheid> sixofour: it may be in /etc/boot/grub
[17:29] <sixofour> the only time it loads to grub is when the laptop is turned off inproperly
[17:29] <Stargaze> corni: type lsb_release -a
[17:29] <rbellamy> Lachance, thanks
[17:30] <sixofour> Nijverheid: empty also
[17:30] <sixofour> i did nano etc/boot/grub
[17:30] <stdisease> sixofour, can you try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' ... ?
[17:30] <sixofour> and nano etc/default/grub
[17:30] <Lachance> Lxndr, If you're interested in completely removing Windows you'll need to download and burn an Ubuntu .iso. If you're uncomfortable with this I can either provide guides or walk you through the process.
[17:30] <Nijverheid> sixofour: whoops, my bad... try just /boot/grub
[17:31] <yorick> help...I'm running karmic...and I was fiddling with the login screen themes
[17:31] <Stargaze> Nijverheid: vl of nl?
[17:31] <yorick> but now my login background changed
[17:31] <sixofour> nothing
[17:31] <yorick> and the accessability icon on the login screen is present when I'm logged in
[17:31] <Nijverheid> Stargaze: nl, een beetje vl :)
[17:31] <hikenboot> if i am compiling a kernel from kernel.org that i have patched how do i get it to make the kernel headers from the source?
[17:31] <Lxndr> Lachance, Myrtti, Jeruvy: Are you saying I don't actually have a true version of Ubuntu? I only used wubi because I have no access to any kind of CD burner.
[17:32] <Stargaze> oki , ik antw :)
[17:32] <stdisease> hikenboot, try make headers_install
[17:32] <Lachance> Lxndr, no, of course not! Wubi Ubuntu is Ubuntu. =D But Wubi works as a Windows executable installer. In other words, you need Windows to run it.
[17:32] <Nijverheid> sixofour: o_O uhhh... then I'm sorry, I haven't a clue :/
[17:32] <sixofour> stdisease: i did what you said its at a blue dos-y looking screen
[17:32] <Jeruvy> Lxndr: wubi installs in a virtual disk inside your windows environment.
[17:32] <sixofour> now what?
[17:32] <Nijverheid> Stargaze: heel goed :)
[17:32] <rmozden> Is there any way to make ipset a module for a default kernel?
[17:32] <hikenboot> stdisease, thanks
[17:32] <stdisease> hikenboot, see 'make help' for more info, too
[17:32] <LocutusOfBorg> Hi everyone
[17:32] <LocutusOfBorg> I need an admin
[17:33] <Lxndr> Lachance, Jeruvy, etc: I wonder if that's why I've been having WINE problems.
[17:33] <Stargaze> rmozden: try modprobe
[17:33] <nibbler> !details | LocutusOfBorg
[17:33] <Lachance> Lxndr, Do you have a flash drive? You can put a Live environment on your flash drive and do it that way too.
[17:33] <yorick> all I did was gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties
[17:33] <stdisease> sixofour, yes the blue--dos'y.. follow the instructions there and see if you get a menu next time you reboot
[17:33] <Lachance> Lxndr, I always have issues with Wine. >_>
[17:33] <LocutusOfBorg> nibbler: I think I have found a security bug on ubuntu
[17:33] <sixofour> i don't know what to do, it ask if the linux command is right..there is nothing there ..
[17:33] <Lxndr> Lachance: I'm having issues with WINE that I've never had on my laptop (which also is an ubuntu computer).
[17:34] <LocutusOfBorg> I need to talk with an admin before opening a bug
[17:34] <W_McL> Lxndr, if you don't have a CD burner and want to install Ubuntui, you can try to use an USB flash drive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[17:34] <yorick> any ideas?
[17:34] <nibbler> LocutusOfBorg, just... post here.....
[17:34] <Stargaze> Lxndr: join #winehq
[17:34] <Myrtti> Lxndr: wubi should be considered as a demo version, a bit like game demos, it isn't for full blown use because the way it installs on your system has its own set of caveats
[17:34] <Lachance> LocutusOfBorg, you'd do a lot better to provide as many details on a single line so we can all do our best to help.
[17:34] <Oasa> how to extract a lzma file?
[17:34] <stdisease> sixofour, I've no idea. either your setup is somehow messed up or I'm failing to get the situation
[17:34] <sixofour> let me reboot now
[17:34] <stdisease> Oasa, is it a .tar.lzma ?
[17:34] <Lxndr> Also: I have no flash drive(s).
[17:35] <Oasa> yes sdtdisease
[17:35] <Oasa> .tar.lzma
[17:35] <stdisease> Oasa, try just 'tar xf <file.tar.lzma' first
[17:35] <Lxndr> do the ubuntu people still send out free CDs?
[17:35] <Lachance> Lxndr, =O Well you could order a CD. You only need one.
[17:35] <erUSUL> Lxndr: not to individuals afaik
[17:35] <Oasa> tar: This does not look like a tar archive
[17:35] <Oasa> tar: Skipping to next header
[17:35] <Oasa> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[17:35] <llutz> Oasa: tar --lzma -xf foo.tar.lzma
[17:36] <erUSUL> Lxndr: to loco teams or if you are ging to do a install party and thngs like that
[17:36] <yorick> hmm let my try logging in again
[17:36] <andrea_> ciao
[17:36] <Lachance> Lxndr, the price is right tho - it's only like 5 bucks USD.
[17:36] <spark_> hellow ever one  :) , I am glad to see the new compatibility on ubuntu , but i got a little problem , my sound card and cg stop the drivers unexpectly when they are pushed too hard , and at start I have to set on compiz cause I lose any window borders .. is there a way to make it automatickly start ?
[17:36] <LocutusOfBorg> ok, could you try to do this: reboot your system, try to login with the kernel recovery mode and chose the root shell: you will gain root privileges without prompting for a password
[17:36] <andrea_> ho un problema
[17:36] <Lachance> Just enough to cover the cost of the cd
[17:36] <Oasa> llutz  : unrecognized format
[17:36] <maroy> does anyone have tips to make mkinitramfs-kpkg not fail, after each call to apt-get install?
[17:36] <nibbler> LocutusOfBorg, thats ok
[17:36] <Oasa> llutz : --lzma
[17:36] <Myrtti> !it | andrea_
[17:36] <Oasa> llutz : what to do ? Unrecognized format --lzma
[17:36] <Oasa> !lzma
[17:37]  * Guest_62633  lol @ hellow ever one
[17:37] <nibbler> LocutusOfBorg, physical access to a machine always open possibilities for root-access - only partial pervention is encrypted disk. its like this in any os
[17:37] <stdisease> Oasa, 'lzcat <file> | tar xf -'
[17:37] <LocutusOfBorg> nibbler: it's ok? somebody could have root access on my machine?
[17:37] <llutz> Oasa: "tar --version"  >=1.20?
[17:37] <pkhtut> Hi, Can I ask about python Tkinter although I know this is Ubuntu irc?
[17:37] <Oasa> stdisease: Shoud i type the whole thing in ' ' ?
[17:37] <LocutusOfBorg> no nibbler if you try the windows recovery system it will ask you for the password
[17:38] <Oasa> llutz : I am using Hardy Heron. How do i check version ?
[17:38] <nibbler> LocutusOfBorg, how would you prevent him from taking out your harddrive and plug it to his laptop and manipulate it?
[17:38] <llutz> Oasa: "tar --version"
[17:38] <stdisease> Oasa, right, also check tar version like llutz said and whether lzma/xz-utils is installed on your system
[17:38] <Oasa> its 1.19
[17:38] <llutz> Oasa: --lzma needs >=1.20
[17:38] <Lachance> LocutusOfBorg, what kind of environment do you work in in which this is an issue?
[17:38] <Oasa> llutz : how do i update ?
[17:38] <llutz> Oasa: try [18:37:22] <stdisease> Oasa, 'lzcat <file> | tar xf -'
[17:39] <nibbler> LocutusOfBorg, but you can prevent this, by protecting your grub conf from edits and remove the recovery. but still: physical access=full control
[17:39] <Losha> LocutusOfBorg: this is widely regarded as a feature...
[17:39] <LocutusOfBorg> nibbler: of course the chroot way is always possible, but on a laptop is still not simple
[17:39] <Oasa> something is coming
[17:39] <Oasa> its not stopping
[17:39] <wasutton3> does anyone know of a working usb fm transmitter for karmic?
[17:39] <Oasa> i typed lzcat filename ... n its outputting something... very fastly.
[17:39] <stdisease> Oasa, it should take some time to extract, you can also use 'xvf' instead of just 'xf' to see some sort of progress
[17:40] <LocutusOfBorg> for example i can ask a laptop friend and change the user password in less than a minute
[17:40] <nibbler> LocutusOfBorg, always simple. no matter if laptop or what....
[17:40] <tarelerulz> anyone notice Flash player on Ubuntu 9.10 running the cpu up to around 70% and higher.  I did have it up to 100 on one of my cpu
[17:40] <Oasa> i did not write tar -xf ..
[17:40] <stdisease> Oasa, no not just lzcat part, the whole thing between ' '
[17:40] <Oasa> okkay stdisease
[17:40] <Oasa> Just curious what is lzcat ?
[17:40] <nibbler> LocutusOfBorg, read about grub configuration how to protect it, if you care. but use harddisk encryption if you are serious about security
[17:40] <LocutusOfBorg> Losha: how can I ask for this feature?
[17:40] <maroy> so no mkinitrd-kpkg experts here :(
[17:41] <stdisease> Oasa, decompressed whatever is compressed with lzma and sends it either to terminal or to the next program in the pipe this case 'tar -xf -'
[17:41] <LocutusOfBorg> nibbler: of course, I can, but by default the ubuntu way is less secure than the windows way
[17:41] <stdisease> Oasa, the garbage you saw is what the uncompressed .tar file looks like
[17:41] <Oasa> hmm i understood
[17:42] <Oasa> okay.. stdisease.. that works.. thanks.. btw how do i update tar ?
[17:42] <Kilmarac> ok, need help with a problem ive never encountered before.  Ubuntu boots into a graphical environment, but I olnly have a single unmovable terminal window in the upper left.  I can run programs from the command line, but everyone is layed into the upper left corner and is not movable or resizable.
[17:42] <W_McL> tarelerulz, unfortunately flash is a CPU eating monster :(
[17:42] <stdisease> Oasa, depends either use an update CD or using apt-get or aptitude or whatever package manager you usually use
[17:42] <nibbler> LocutusOfBorg, well, if you rely on noone opening your pc for your security concerns, then yes.
[17:42] <|604|> ok stdisease now x won't boot
[17:42] <Losha> LocutusOfBorg: there used to be a site where you could submit suggestions http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ Dunno if it's still active....
[17:42] <Oasa> please explain further stdisease.
[17:43] <|604|> stdisease i am sixofour onmy other pc
[17:43] <stdisease> !update | Oasa
[17:43] <shumy> hi all
[17:43] <Oasa> thank you stdisease and llutz.. Thanks a lot ..
[17:43] <stdisease> |604|, what gfx driver are you using for X, if it is proprietary amd or nvidia you need to reinstall
[17:43] <stdisease> Oasa, y/ welcome
[17:43] <ranveer> hi
[17:43] <|604|> stdisease i witched to the rt kernal, and mypc speaker made 3 loud beeps, when it gets to login screen i log in and it said x failed to write to /tmp; x may close with an error...and fails toload
[17:43] <|604|> tried with several kernals

[17:44] <stdisease> ranveer, this isn't social channel, thx :)
[17:44] <ranveer> ok
[17:44] <|604|> stdisease everything on my laptop is nvidia
[17:45] <Kilmarac> any ideas for my boot up problem?
[17:45] <stdisease> Kilmarac, right, you will need to select which session type you want from gdm/kdm menu
[17:46] <stdisease> Kilmarac, right now it seems to be of type 'xterm', select gnome or kde or whatever you have installed
[17:47] <minus007> I downloaded the source for libpng and when I run make... it says
[17:47] <minus007>  /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libz.a(crc32.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

[17:47] <minus007> Any solutions?
[17:48] <Kilmarac> stdisease  looksl like i need to install kdm.  I dont know what happened, I shut down fine last night then today I boot into this. LOL
[17:48] <|604|> stdisease did you see what i wrfote?
[17:48] <|604|> wrote
[17:49] <|604|> Kilmarac linux has a way of altering itself even when its turned off
[17:49] <stdisease> minus007, huh why is it even looking under /usr/local in the first place, install package zlib1g-dev and retry configure and compile
[17:50] <Kilmarac> |604|  ROFL!
[17:50] <|604|> i just booted into rt kernal, and now KDE/X is currupted..lol
[17:50] <stdisease> Kilmarac, |604| lol. heh, well what flavor of ubuntu do you have installed? Did you use to have kdm before?
[17:50] <|604|> stdisease i have kubuntu karmic
[17:51] <OerHeks> is ubuntu's F1 key safe to use ?
[17:51] <Kilmarac> actually ubuntu default should be gdm,  but it looks like  gdm is saying failed to acquire org.gnome.displaymanager: connection :1.39 is not allowed to over the service due to security policies in the confiruation file.
[17:51] <Kilmarac> tried in sudo and it failed to acquire and bailed
[17:51] <LocutusOfBorg> Sorry just back
[17:51] <stdisease> |604|, oh sorry that was meant for Kilmarac. For nvidia install linux-rt kernel headers and reinstall nvidia drivers and try again..
[17:52] <Jacquerie> Hey there! A quick question.  Or is it just a waste of mine and everybody else bandwidth?
[17:52] <|604|> stdisease also, i cannot switch to the grub screen anymore, it goes right to kde
[17:52] <Ricoshady> I have a bunch of windows shares, and those servers went down today, but when they came back up, the shares weren't remounted by samaba, how can I make sure if shares go down, they come back up when the share is availible again?
[17:52] <|604|> stdisease how do you install on a machine with no terminal?
[17:52] <cdw32> hello all, i recently bought a new router for my house and fro some reason my computer connects to the internet, but the status icon for wireless shows that i have no signal strenght at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[17:52] <Stargaze> F1 is help, OerHeks
[17:52] <OerHeks> Jacquerie, it is oke to be a seeder / mirror
[17:52] <marcel_> Hello, i tried to change my wlan0 mac with macchanger. I had written sudo macchanger -m [mac] wlan0     in the terminal, bit it said that i dont have the permissions
[17:53] <Kilmarac> marcel us the command with sudo
[17:53] <OerHeks> Stargaze, just worried about the F1 virus
[17:53] <mtx_init> why does nano open when I do visudo?
[17:53] <Stargaze> F1 virus???
[17:53] <Kilmarac> oh wait, you did..  sorry.  LOL missed it
[17:53] <livy> Just got ubuntu. Love it. Do I need an antivirus?
[17:53] <VCoolio> mtx_init: because nano is set to be your $EDITOR ?
[17:53] <|604|> stdisease i did ctrl alt f1, now i am in terminal, how do i do what you just told me to do?
[17:53] <Stargaze> Kilmarac: try apt-get install gdm
[17:53] <NewWorld> mtx_init:  What is theh output of 'echo $EDITOR'?
[17:54] <OerHeks> Stargaze > http://security.nl/artikel/32591/1/Microsoft%3A_Druk_niet_op_F1.html
[17:54] <Stargaze> microsoft!!!!
[17:54] <LocutusOfBorg> livy: are you joking?
[17:54] <skabasje> good question, does ubuntu need a virus scanner
[17:54] <OerHeks> owww sorry :S
[17:54] <goldins> hi, I've set up the UFW to do nat masquerading ( I have *nat, :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0], and -A POSTROUTING -s <IP_ADDRESS>/16 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE) in before.rules, but it doesn't seem to be working, and further the *nat line doesn't appear in iptables -L
[17:54] <Jacquerie> Oerheks:  It's just that I barely passed 2:1 ratio and this seems sucky to me.
[17:54] <livy> No im not locotus
[17:54] <goldins> how do I get it to forward?
[17:54] <Kilmarac> stdisease "already newest version
[17:54] <livy> total newbie to linux here
[17:54] <Pici> !antivirus | livy skabasje
[17:54] <NewWorld> livy:  No antivirus needed.
[17:54] <|604|> livy linux rarly has viruses for it, maybe if your machien is a server and your hosting files..but other than that...idk
[17:54] <mtx_init> VCoolio: its blank
[17:54] <VCoolio> skabasje: not unless you want to prevent to pass on viruses by forwarding mail from windows to windows for example
[17:54] <marcel_> Kilmarac, i had used sudo
[17:55] <LocutusOfBorg> !antivirus
[17:55] <mtx_init> VCoolio: doesnt visudo imply vi, it does evrywhere else
[17:55] <livy> wow. so need for antivirus?
[17:55] <livy> cool
[17:55] <Stargaze> livy: linux can transfer virusses, but not be infected
[17:55] <Kilmarac> marcel_   ya, i noticed that after you typed it
[17:55] <|604|> nope livy
[17:55] <NewWorld> mtx_init:  What is theh output of 'echo $EDITOR'?
[17:55] <stdisease> |604|, umm installing headers and nvidia? umm you really shouldn't be messing with non-standard kernels if you don't know how to do that
[17:55] <mtx_init> NewWorld: Blank
[17:55] <livy> awesome.
[17:55] <skabasje> thanks
[17:55] <OerHeks> Jacquerie, at release lucid lynx, rour ratio will be higher
[17:55] <LocutusOfBorg> !antivirus | LocutusOfBorg
[17:55] <marcel_> Kilmarac, what is wrong now?
[17:55] <|604|> stdisease well switching to rt was [as this channel told me ] sudo apt-get install linux-rt ,reboot, everything works
[17:55] <VCoolio> mtx_init: it does imply that, and maybe nano is by default EDITOR in ubuntu, not sure; you can set it in .bashrc or /etc/profile
[17:55] <|604|> everything didn't work
[17:55] <stdisease> mtx_init, then override EDITOR and/or VISUAL environment variables with whatever editor you want, log off and back then see if that still happens
[17:56] <|604|> no one ever said anything about nvidia and ehaders...
[17:56] <Pici> VCoolio: Indeed, it is the default $EDITOR.
[17:56] <Kilmarac> marcel_ did you use sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop  first/
[17:56] <Kilmarac> ?
[17:56] <mtx_init> OK THANKS GUYS
[17:56] <marcel_> no
[17:56] <livy> the only thing i need to do now is figure out how to run Office 2007, I hear that it's possible
[17:56] <Kilmarac> you have to stop the network before you can use macchanger
[17:56] <stdisease> |604|, you did not ask :p
[17:56] <|604|> sudo apt-get install wine
[17:56] <|604|> stdisease i did last ngith
[17:56] <marcel_> ok, thanks
[17:56] <Jacquerie> OerHeks: thank you. I'll continue seed Ubuntu (and a few other distros)
[17:57] <Stargaze> livy: try open office
[17:57] <Jacquerie> Bye!
[17:57] <livy> got it
[17:57] <|604|> livy sudo apt-get install wine
[17:57] <livy> but it's not as good
[17:57] <llutz> !appdb > livy
[17:57] <stdisease> livy, try crossover then
[17:57] <Kilmarac> stdisease  --   gdm is already installed, when run in sudo it failes to acquire org.gnome.displaymanager  and then bails
[17:57] <Kangarooo> what was name of site from witch is possible to install programms to ubuntu? someking like apt-get online tools
[17:57] <mannytu> Vbox too...
[17:57] <stdisease> livy, or install windows to a virtual machine
[17:58] <|604|> so stdisease is there an easy way of doing what you asked?
[17:58] <Ose> what's the linux equivalent of windows' "program files" folder?
[17:58] <livy> does wine emulate windows software, like, fast enough to run smoothly?
[17:58] <millionaire> /usr/bin
[17:58] <|604|> livy yes
[17:58] <stdisease> |604|, easy is different things for different ppl but I'd say not
[17:58] <Stargaze> Ose: /usr/bin
[17:58] <Kilmarac> livy sometimes, depends on the program you want to run
[17:58] <stdisease> livy, yes, and it doesn't technically 'emulate' anything
[17:58] <Pici> files | Ose
[17:58] <Pici> !files | Ose
[17:58] <Ose> thanks
[17:58] <|604|> livy wine is pretty good, you might have trouble running the latest fps game..but thats about it
[17:58] <minus007> Ose: y do you need it.. just asking so that we can help you
[17:59] <Kilmarac> although its not really an emulated
[17:59] <ubuntu> hello
[17:59] <goldins> !ufw | goldins
[17:59] <schlaftier> Ose: The Linux file hierarchy is quite different from Windows, so I would not say there really is an equivalent
[17:59] <ubuntu> how to get back GRUB after installing M$?
[17:59] <Ose> well I found what I was looking for :)
[17:59] <ubuntu> i'm on Ubu LIve CD
[17:59] <Stargaze> !ufw | Stargaze
[17:59] <minus007> Ose: schlaftier is correct
[17:59] <Pici> !msgthebot
[17:59] <stdisease> livy, see #winehq and http://winehq.org
[17:59] <|604|> stdisease so..what do i do?..i can't get back into X
[17:59] <minus007> Ose: Good! :)
[17:59] <livy> cheers guys
[17:59] <thio> ciao regazzi
[18:00] <stdisease> |604|, go back to your old kernel and back to X
[18:00] <|604|> stdisease i can't
[18:00] <stdisease> |604|, why not
[18:00] <|604|> stdisease x fails to load on every kernal
[18:00] <|604|> it says it cannot write to /tmp; and crashes
[18:00] <stdisease> |604|, probably because you booting into RT kernel messed up your gfx driver. or... hmm
[18:00] <|604|> that is the problem in the first place
[18:01] <llutz> |604|: check  "df -h /tmp" "ls -ld /tmp"
[18:01] <cwillu_at_work> how do you make aptitude install the recommends from an already installed package?
[18:01] <|604|> i need rt kernal for audio production
[18:01] <minus007> @Ose: df
[18:01] <cwillu_at_work> (people who reflexively respond with -r will be /ignore'd mercilessly)
[18:01] <llutz> cwillu_at_work: aptitude -r reinstall package
[18:01] <stdisease> |604|, also if you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf remove it or back it up to temporary location and try 'service gdm restart'
[18:01] <cwillu_at_work> llutz, bzzzt, try again
[18:01] <roszak> Hello all.  I just installed karmic and cannot get it to recognize the external monitor I have hooked up to my vga port on my hp dv7 laptop.  Any ideas on how I can get it to recognize the monitor?  Other computers recognize the dell monitor, so I know the device functions.
[18:01] <livy> Wine is great...I'm gonna see if it can manage the original Unreal Tournament
[18:01] <cdw32> I am also only connecting at 54 MB/s is there any way to increase this
[18:02] <Kilmarac> stdisease no luck on gdm running..
[18:02] <|604|> stdisease i am on kde
[18:02] <stdisease> |604|, right 'service kdm restart' then
[18:02] <|604|> if i jsut delete xorg.conf what happens?
[18:03] <Fill23> how to delete/uninstall all packegs that user installed?
[18:03] <stdisease> |604|, you have to write/generate another one again if you delete it, and Xorg will autodetect what hardware you have without instructions from that file
[18:03] <llutz> Fill23: user cannot install anything outside $HOME
[18:04] <|604|> does xorg.conf contain my user settings? [like, for example,wall paper, icon placement etc]?
[18:04] <LocutusOfBorg> thanks everybody
[18:04] <cwillu_at_work> |604|, no
[18:04] <|604|> onetime i rebooted and my suer settings were wiped
[18:04] <Fill23> llutz: xorg files not in home for exmpl.
[18:04] <|604|> user
[18:04] <cwillu_at_work> |604|, unrelated to xorg.conf
[18:04] <|604|> ok
[18:04] <minus007> When we run apt-get install XXXX it downloads and installs several files... is there a way to know which files have been downloaded and at which locations (path) have they been placed?
[18:04] <llutz> Fill23: what?
[18:04] <stdisease> |604|, don't trust anyone's word, looks inside it and find o.ut..
[18:04] <dimuls> |604|, lol
[18:04] <|604|> o.ut?
[18:05] <vegarn> out
[18:05] <Fill23> llutz: u said user can't install anything outside the /home, right?
[18:05] <llutz> Fill23: right
[18:05] <blakkheim> minus007: dpkg -S packagename
[18:05] <cwillu_at_work> minus007, dpkg-query --help
[18:05] <stdisease> |604|, 'out' but my laptop keyboard messed up
[18:05] <cwillu_at_work> blakkheim, that's the opposite of what he asked
[18:05] <MatBoy> oops, I did a remove --purge for a too new kernel... and now my menu.lst is gone
[18:05] <hl_99> hey guys, how can i get full write access to a drive in nautilus?
[18:05] <nibbler> Fill23, well, he could install in /tmp and the like, but as a user i'd not rely on that :p
[18:05] <Fill23> llutz: i've installed xorg, and i see xorg files in /etc/X11 wich is not in my /home directory
[18:05] <cwillu_at_work> blakkheim, that searches for owners of a file, he wants files owned by a package (-L)
[18:06] <Kimo> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[18:06] <llutz> Fill23: if your user has write-access to more than $home and /tmp you messed up your permissions
[18:06] <Kimo> how to resolve that
[18:06] <llutz> Fill23: those were installed by root (using sudo as user maybe)
[18:06] <minus007> Thanks cwillu_at_work and blakkheim
[18:06] <dimuls> hl_99, in terminal "chown <username> <path to dir> -R"

[18:06] <dimuls> hl_99, sorry,  "sudo chown <username> <path to dir> -R"
[18:06] <stdisease> |604|, no, 'service kdm restart'
[18:06] <Fill23> i messed up whole xorg>desktop system, and i want to clean system from anything i installed, configured
[18:06] <|604|> i did sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:06] <|604|> ah ok
[18:07] <|604|> it said rejected send message
[18:07] <nibbler> Fill23, just create another user see if this one works fine. if so, its just the configs in your home
[18:07] <|604|> and a bunch of other stuff
[18:07] <hl_99> dimuls,  thx it worked
[18:07] <Kimo> i Have this message in my Nvidia Setting
[18:07] <Kimo> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[18:07] <MatBoy> does ubuntu not has a menu.lst anymore ?
[18:07] <dimuls> hl_99, and "sudo chmod +w <path to dit>"
[18:07] <corni> how do i display all installed packages with apt-* tools on the cli?
[18:07] <stdisease> MatBoy, not anymore, it has a grub.cfg since updated to grub 2
[18:07] <llutz> MatBoy: grub2 has no menu.lst
[18:07] <MatBoy> ah ok
[18:07] <dimuls> hl_99, oops, "sudo chmod +w <path to dit> -R"
[18:08] <Fill23> nibbler: ok i try
[18:08] <|604|> oops, i needed to put sudo
[18:08] <MatBoy> I didn't look in it too much that often anymore... since when is it changed to grub2 in ubuntu
[18:08] <|604|> YAY x loaded
[18:08] <|604|> how do i see what kernal i am using?...wait, x didn't load the hd :/
[18:08] <Stargaze> |604|: type umount -r
[18:09] <michael__> What's the most stable Ubuntu release available at the moment? I need something with excellent support for an ATI graphics card. At the moment I have Karmic x64 which has given me a million and one problems.
[18:09] <|604|> ok its loading
[18:09] <dimuls> hl_99, or you may try sudo nautilus, but be carefull
[18:09] <stdisease> michael__, my laptop came with 9.04 and ATI working fine
[18:09] <papapep-afk> michael__: you can't get "excellent" support for an ati card in gnu/linux...
[18:09] <migue> ola
[18:09] <hl_99> dimuls do you know how i can make the drive appear in the places bar of nautilus?

[18:10] <minus007> cwillu_at_work, so if I want to install a package on a machine where there is no Internet connection... I can copy the files listed by dpkg-query -L at their respective location. Am I correct?
[18:10] <michael__> papapep-afk, what do you suggest then?
[18:10] <dimuls> hl_99, drag it
[18:10] <brjann> corni: aptitude --display-format '%p' search ~i
[18:10] <cwillu_at_work> minus007, no
[18:10] <michael__> stdisease, 9.04 is working well with your ATI card then? 32-bit OS?
[18:10] <corni> brjann: thanks :)
[18:10] <|604|> kde is stuck on 85% loading
[18:10] <Kimo> Help Pllzzz
[18:10] <cwillu_at_work> minus007, download the deb files needed and install them
[18:10] <Kimo> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[18:10] <papapep-afk> michael__: nothing, that's a fact. It's the present reality.
[18:11] <brjann> corni: no problem :)
[18:11] <hl_99> dimuls, its not really working i tried that already
[18:11] <michael__> papapep-afk, I should do more research when purchasing cards.
[18:11] <RazorC> Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to recover files for free in Ubuntu?
[18:11] <stdisease> michael__, 32-bit yes. If you don't want to bother with proprietary ATI driver, you can use the open source driver, works mighty fine
[18:11] <papapep-afk> michael__: probably :)
[18:11] <Kimo> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[18:11] <hl_99> dimuls, but its okay where it is now, thats fine

[18:11] <michael__> stdisease, Compiz working well?
[18:12] <minus007> cwillu_at_work, k.. Thanks a lot! But wouldn't the manual method work? I know its lengthy but would it work?
[18:12] <papapep-afk> michael__: some ati cards are working decently, other are a real headache
[18:12] <stdisease> michael__, not using compiz but good framerates with opengl stuff
[18:12] <michael__> papapep-afk, I now have a semi-expensive card that's useless.
[18:12] <|604|> stdisease will you be around awhile? i need to make breakfast
[18:12] <dimuls> hl_99, above the places, there is a list of your own places
[18:12] <stdisease> michael__, the proper is the drivers really, not the hardware, imho
[18:12] <michael__> stdisease, I need something that's going to be able to run all of the Compiz effects.
[18:12] <papapep-afk> michael__: you can wait to see if new and improved drivers get published
[18:12] <stdisease> *the problem
[18:12] <cwillu_at_work> minus007, no, it would break in unpredictable ways
[18:12] <michael__> papapep-afk, can you guesstimate how long that might take?
[18:13] <minus007> cwillu_at_work,  Oh.. ok
[18:13] <dimuls> hl_99, oh sorry below
[18:13] <Kimo> i need some help plz
[18:13] <cwillu_at_work> minus007, deb files can include pre-post install/uninstall scripts that modify existing files as well
[18:13] <papapep-afk> michael__: XD no idea
[18:13] <stdisease> michael__, you're outta luck, but an NVIDIAaaa
[18:13] <papapep-afk> michael__: i guess nobody has
[18:13] <cwillu_at_work> minus007, to say nothing of files that are generated on install for the machine in question
[18:13] <michael__> papapep-afk, I'm screwed then I suppose, at least for the moment.
[18:13] <soreau> I am trying to ssh into a live session, but when I try to, it asks for a password and I do not know the password to ssh into ubuntu@ubuntu live session. I tried blank pw, 'ubuntu' but it wont let me ssh into this Intrepid 8.10 live session
[18:13] <papapep-afk> michael__: yep
[18:13] <ghufran> hi .. is it somehow possible to increase the filesystem ? without having to reinstall everything?
[18:13] <papapep-afk> sorry about that
[18:13] <Jordan_U> I'm trying to send email via my gmail account with evolution. When I hit Send/Receive I get the error "Could not connect to smtp.gmail.com: No route to host"
[18:13] <|604|> stdisease mount of system failed,, a maintenance shell will now be started,, control-d will terminate this shell and re-try...
[18:14] <michael__> stdisease, an NVidia is an Xpense that I can't afford.
[18:14] <cwillu_at_work> minus007, you could muddle through and get it limping along, but if you did that I'd have to revoke your operating licence
[18:14] <Kimo> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[18:14] <reanimation> guy's can you tell me how to setup squid server
[18:14] <stdisease> Jordan_U, is your network configured and running, can you browse internet and ping smtp.gmail.com from the terminal?
[18:14] <papapep-afk> michael__: there are plenty of different categories of Nvidia cards
[18:14] <papapep-afk> not only high level ones
[18:14] <Jordan_U> stdisease, Yes to all.
[18:14] <reanimation> help to configure squid server on ubuntu
[18:14] <michael__> papapep-afk, I understand but I have paid like £50 (around $80) for an ATI card.
[18:15] <dimuls> reanimation, there is full example config: /etc/squid/squid.conf
[18:15] <dimuls> reanimation, read it
[18:15] <papapep-afk> michael__: and it doesn't work at all??
[18:15] <switch10_> If there is anyone interested, it is now possible to sync an IPhone/IPod touch natively with Rhythmbox.  Here is a YouTube video I just uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVm3OOZEZfw
[18:15] <|604|> michael__ i am sure someone in the universe has the latest ubuntu with an ati card and sues compiz
[18:15] <reanimation> ya i know i already configured squid on redhat
[18:15] <|604|> uses
[18:15] <minus007> cwillu_at_work, "I'd have to revoke your operating licence" Did not get this... How is this related to licensing?
[18:15] <brjann> soreau: you need to set the ubuntu user's password from inside the livecd session before you can ssh into use. use   sudo passwd ubuntu   to set the password
[18:15] <cwillu_at_work> |604|, fglrx is crap under compiz in my experience;  the open driver works well for some cards though
[18:16] <reanimation> rsquid is not working prop[erly
[18:16] <soreau> brjann: Ok thanks
[18:16] <cwillu_at_work> brjann, uh, "passwd", not "sudo passwd ubuntu" :p
[18:16] <|604|> stdisease mount of system failed,, a maintenance shell will now be started,, control-d will terminate this shell and re-try...
[18:16] <Lxndr> odd quirk of my system: When windows was on it, sound would come through the speakers. As soon as I installed ubuntu, it refused to use the speakers, and instead will only communicate with my headphones, if they happen to be jacked in. Anyone have any ideas how to make it talk to the speakers again?
[18:16] <cwillu_at_work> brjann, you can change your own password :p
[18:16] <stdisease> |604|, not so, latest ubunto does not work with ati, incompatible with X.org 1.7.5
[18:16] <|604|> oh
[18:16] <michael__> papapep-afk, it's a pain in the facking ass man. At the moment I am using ATI's drivers, and jack all works. Compiz sure doesn't, damn I can't even drag the windows around the desktop without experiencing the worst frame rate ever.
[18:16] <brjann> cwillu_at_work: only if you know its current password, which you don't :)
[18:16] <michael__> |604|, perhaps yeah.

[18:17] <Trinity33> hi everyone i have question about gnome terminal  how to keep it open after executing script? from desktop launcher. when i type in terminal name of this application then it open when i make launcher with path to this app then terminal open and it closes after 0.5sec i could put in the script at the end read or sleep and it will stay open after exec. but matter is that when i use launcher and the termin opens then
[18:17] <Trinity33>   want to put new commands in it and thats not possible so i would like to know if there is some way to keep it open after executing script from launcher>? ubuntu 9.10
[18:17] <papapep-afk> michael__: which is the card model?
 evening
[18:17] <michael__> papapep-afk, yeah it's a pain.
[18:17] <|604|> stdisease i did "sudo apt-get install linux-rt"...when i rebooted this morning, i picked rt kernal as you said..then everything went esplody on me

[18:17] <brjann> soreau: shouldn't have to, no
[18:17] <cyberbluntz> lets settle on afternoon
[18:18] <soreau> brjann: Restart the ssh server perhaps?
[18:18] <ATLANT3AN> hey guys
[18:18] <cyberbluntz> hi
[18:18] <serverduck> Hello, I have a problem with my time. I can't set it up. When I click set time, it asks me for password but then it brings me back to general/locations/weather. Why?
[18:18] <brjann> soreau: shouldn't have to do that, either :) but hey, couldn't hurt
[18:18] <papapep> michael__: and the ubuntu and kernel version?
[18:18] <SandGorgon> take a look at this brainstorm for increasing battery life - http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23819/
[18:18] <shane2peru> ok, when I try to hotsync my palm with ubuntu via bluetooth, it works great, however sometimes, it doesn't the only thing I have learned to do is restart the computer fixes it, any ideas besides restarting on troubleshooting this issue?
[18:18] <soreau> brjann: Ah I think I see the problem
[18:18] <Kimo> nobody want to help me
[18:19] <stdisease> Kimo, perhaps nobody could
[18:19] <soreau> brjann: Yea, I got it now. Had to do ssh ubuntu@ipaddy
[18:19] <soreau> thnx
[18:19] <Kimo> i have this problem how to resolve it http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39799066/Screenshot-NVIDIA%20X%20Server%20Settings.png
[18:19] <brjann> soreau: no problem :)
[18:19] <michael__> papapep, Karmic 9.10 (is it) ? I don't understand what you mean by kernel version, sorry. I'm kinda new.
[18:19] <serverduck> Kimo, wait I'm shure someone will help you.
[18:19] <Kimo> Ok i wait you thanks
[18:19] <papapep> michael__: type "uname -a" at a prompt shell, without the quotes
[18:19] <dimuls> reanimation, rsquid??
[18:20] <stdisease> michael__, version of the 'core' of the system, kinda, called the kernel. use 'uname -a' to see information about it
[18:20] <papapep> michael__: and you should see something similar to 2.6.31-19-generic
[18:20] <michael__> papapep, 2.6.31-19-generic
[18:20] <papapep> michael__: :)
[18:20] <papapep> michael__: then you're fully updated
[18:21] <vegarn> I'm playing around with openvpn tunneling and routing. I do not have any firewall or iptables rules. Is it necessary to explicitly put iptables rules for allowing(ACCEPT) forwarding between interfaces when I haven't done anything to policies or rules?
[18:21] <|604|> wow stdisease even grub won't load, my laptop is stuck on the HP screen
[18:21] <|604|> HP Invent
[18:21] <michael__> stdisease, why wouldn't there be a standard kernel version for each distribution? Why would one Karmic have a different kernel version from another Karmic installation? Karmic is Karmic right? Wrong?
[18:21] <vegarn> I did the "echo 1" to ip_forwarding file in proc.. that should suffice?
[18:21] <michael__> papapep, I guess that's a good thing.
[18:21] <papapep> michael__: there are continuous packages improvements and bug fixing, kernel included
[18:22] <drizzt_> why stupid gnome and GTk common dialogs save files with UTF-9 names, instead of $LANG codepage?
[18:22] <stdisease> |604|, Karmic is Karmic but the kernel versions could change because bugs and fixes are added all the time
[18:22] <Trinity33>   want to put new commands in it and thats not possible so i would like to know if there is some way to keep it open after executing script from launcher>? ubuntu 9.10
[18:22] <stdisease> michael__, ^ I mean
[18:22] <papapep> michael__: yes, usually, to be fully updated is the best option
[18:22] <|604|> stdisease i managed to get into grub and select the default kernal, my pc made a loud beep agaian
[18:22] <drizzt_> michael__, each 1-2 weeks new kernel is issued to cover security vulnerabilities
[18:22] <|604|> doing a disk check
[18:22] <justinas> histo, can anybody tell me, why i am not able to change any settings in compiz CCSM? When i launch it from terminal "sudo ccsm" - i can change, bet settings doesn't apply when launching simply CCSM (Without sudo). All check-boxes are gray and i'm not able to change them
[18:22] <stdisease> |604|, let it finish the check
[18:23] <|604|> ok brb
[18:23] <papapep> michael__: have to go now, hope you fix your issue soon ;)
[18:23] <soreau> justinas: Do not run any user app as root. Ever.

[18:23] <justinas> soreau, the same for gksudo
[18:24] <justinas> what is wrong?
[18:24] <toni__> !list
[18:24] <soreau> jussio1: gksu, gksudo, kdesu, sudo and running as root are all the same thing. Do not do it under any circumstance for any user application. This includes all of compiz components, emerald, ccsm, fusion-icon.
[18:25] <soreau> justinas: ^^
[18:25] <cyberbluntz> eh?
[18:25] <justinas> why, soreau ?
[18:25] <soreau> justinas: Also, this is an indication that you have compiz running as root which is also not good. You could have possibly damaged your permissions in your users home folder now
[18:26] <soreau> justinas: Because it can screw up your permissions and cause all kinds of strange problems
[18:26] <ubyserver> Hello Everyone
[18:26] <justinas> how can i solve this problem?
[18:26] <schlaftier> I thought gksudo et al.  instead of plain sudo would prevent screwing up your permissions
[18:27] <vegarn> gksudo is just graphical sudo
[18:27] <Kimo> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[18:27] <stdisease> schlaftier, not that I know of, they're just fancy interfaces for root access
[18:27] <Stargaze> justinas: by rebooting your pc and using sudo for maintenance only
[18:27] <soreau> justinas: First, assuming you are running as your normal user, go into sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects and set to None then back to whatever it was. this should restart compiz as user
[18:28] <schlaftier> vegarn, stdisease: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[18:28] <soreau> justinas: Then, open ccsm as user with sys>prefs>compiz config settings manager
[18:28] <LinuxJunkie> Looking form some help on a dual boot windows 7 and 9.10. Grub2 is skipped completely and the forums are not being much help.  Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
[18:29] <soreau> LinuxJunkie: Which OS did you install last?
[18:29] <cyberbluntz> what the tor gui name?
[18:29] <|604|> stdisease it went to the same thing
[18:29] <|604|> stdisease mount of system failed,, a maintenance shell will now be started,, control-d will terminate this shell and re-try...
[18:29] <LinuxJunkie> Ubuntu was installed last
[18:29] <|604|> its now sitting at a terminal doing nothing
[18:30] <cyberbluntz> How can I check if vidalia is auto starting on boot or set it too//?
[18:30] <stdisease> LinuxJunkie, are you presented with a GRUB menu when you boot up? And how was your linux installed, through Wubi or regular CD install
[18:30] <cyberbluntz> I have the "show this window on startup" ticked
[18:31] <justinas> soreau, doesn't work - in visual settings i set NONE, after that - custom. Then launched CCSM and all chekboxes are grey...
[18:31] <stdisease> |604|, right, well enter root pass and try to fix things, I really can't do much for you over IRC
[18:31] <ubyserver> For windows I used Putty.
[18:31] <|604|> i don't know how to "fix things" lol
[18:31] <ubyserver> How do I connect to an shell?
[18:31] <cyberbluntz> i have putty on ubuntu too
[18:32] <LinuxJunkie> soreau: Cd install, chose use largest continuous space, No grub menu at all.
[18:32] <llutz> ubyserver: ssh user@host
[18:32] <ubyserver> ssh user@host wtf
[18:32] <ubyserver> I only know about connecting to ip addresses
[18:32] <stdisease> ubyserver, 'host' could be an IP
[18:32] <ubyserver> but what about user@?
[18:33] <llutz> ubyserver: read "man ssh"
[18:33] <stdisease> ubyserver, 'user' is your user name on the host you're trying to connect to...
[18:33] <PingFloyd> LinuxJunkie: does it go into windows 7?
[18:33] <LinuxJunkie> Yes it boots to 7 no prob
[18:33] <stdisease> ubyserver, example : ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[18:33] <Kangarooo> there was a webpage for installing ubuntu programms with one click
[18:33] <Kangarooo> does anyone knows name of that?
[18:33] <ubyserver> gotcha thanx stdisease
[18:34] <|604|> perhaps i should make a forum thread?
[18:34] <cyberbluntz> yah, I'm not eeing anywhere to auto launch vidalia on startup
[18:34] <|604|> !ubuntu
[18:34] <Czakol> hi
[18:34] <PingFloyd> LinuxJunkie: assuming you installed grub to your /boot partition.  Easiest fix is to install latest version of easybcd and create a boot entry for your ubuntu
[18:34] <Stargaze> Kangarooo: appnr.com
[18:34] <brjann> Kangarooo: in karmic, the Ubuntu Software Center found in the Applications menu can do that
[18:35] <LinuxJunkie> Ok, will be doing that next then. thanks for the help
[18:35] <Czakol> Hi, i made ubuntu 9.10 update
[18:35] <brjann> Kangarooo: (assuming that you want software from the ubuntu repositories)
[18:35] <PingFloyd> LinuxJunkie: the advantage of doing it that way, is if you ever need to reinstall windows, you don't have to find a linux livecd and update grub
[18:35] <Czakol> and now my wirless card doesn't work
[18:35] <alexandr> всем привет
[18:35] <Czakol> what couldbe a problem?
[18:35] <dimuls> alexandr, q=)
[18:35] <brjann> !ru | alexandr
[18:35] <Stargaze> Czakol: is it internal or external?
[18:36] <Czakol> internal
[18:36] <justinas> soreau, doesn't work - in visual settings i set NONE, after that - custom. Then launched CCSM and all chekboxes are grey...
[18:36] <Kangarooo> thx Stargaze. thats the one. brjann Ubuntu Software center slows pc. im now installing on very old pc.
[18:36] <cyberbluntz> What config file control the applications that start up boot in the ubuntu OS?
[18:36] <brjann> Kangarooo: gotcha
[18:36] <Czakol> Stargaze: internal
[18:37] <vegarn> I need to make "echo '1' > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" run at every boot... Is it best to put this in /etc/rc.local or somewhere else?
[18:37] <stdisease> vegarn, use sysctl -w var=value instead, and you can putit it in rc.local yes
[18:38] <Czakol> could somebody help me
[18:39] <llutz> vegarn: exit /etc/sysctl.conf "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1"
[18:39] <llutz> edit*
[18:39] <Quickard> anyway to install ubuntu directly off of hard disk, I get about halfway through install and an error occurs. something to do with my cd-rom drive
[18:39] <vegarn> thanks
[18:39] <Kangarooo> Quickard: try checking cd for errors
[18:39] <C-S-B> hey guys, I need the r5u87x-loader to get my webcam to work. I've added uvc into /etc/modules but it doesnt get my cam working everytime on boot. anyway to do this?
[18:40] <Quickard> is there a tool in ubuntu for that?
[18:40] <vegarn> llutz: great tip! thanks
[18:40] <Kangarooo> Quickard: when live cd put in pc then first menu will have that option
[18:40] <llutz> vegarn: recommended way to do it
[18:41] <Trinity33> hi everyone i have question about gnome terminal  how to keep it open after executing script? from desktop launcher. when i type in terminal name of this application then it open when i make launcher with path to this app then terminal open and it closes after 0.5sec i could put in the script at the end read or sleep and it will stay open after exec. but matter is that when i use launcher and the termin opens then
[18:41] <Trinity33>   want to put new commands in it and thats not possible so i would like to know if there is some way to keep it open after executing script from launcher>? ubuntu 9.10
[18:42] <Quickard> k, so reboot machine, boot off cd and use ubuntu to check for error's. if I find an error on the cd should I try and burn another copy?
[18:43] <llutz> Trinity33: use xterm or other term, since gnome-terminal afaik has no "-hold" option, to keep it opened
[18:43] <Kangarooo> Quickard: no put live cd start computer. live cd will show options like try live cd and install and third option is check cd for errors
[18:44] <Quickard> I dont have live cd
[18:44] <stdisease> Get yours today!
[18:45] <Kangarooo> Quickard: then how u tryd to install ubuntu? i didnt then understand something. i understand that u trying to install ubuntu with live cd
[18:45] <drizzt_> can anyone tell me why Gnome create files with names in UTF-8?
[18:45] <bitsmart> hey folks, mpd is running and I can't get it to stop. sudo service mpd stop prints * Stopping Music Player Daemon mpd [ OK ] but I can run that command over and over and get the same results. what's going on?
[18:45] <Quickard> yes, I have a bootable ubuntu disk that I burned.
[18:46] <stdisease> drizzt_, supports more alphabets that way?
[18:46] <Myrtti> drizzt_: it's the default charset of the whole system
[18:47] <stdisease> bitsmart, 'sudo pkill -9 mpd'
[18:47] <drizzt_> Myrtti, nautilus is run with normal codepage
[18:48] <Kangarooo> Quickard: from ubuntu.com yes? then it is a live cd also. put it. restart let bios read cd and take option check for errors. if error will be found then chdsk
[18:48] <Kangarooo> Quickard: !chdsk
[18:48] <Kangarooo> !chdsk
[18:48] <john2> my name if john
 gnome term does have hold option cos u need just put in script u created at the end "read" or "sleep 5" i tried xterm and what i want to do is not just to hold on the term i want to exec script see the app open in the terminal and still have the option to put it the same terminal new commands can xterm do that? not just hold but make possible that when hold i be able after window open put new command
[18:48] <drizzt_> system language is set to ANSI codepage, not UTF_8
[18:49] <victor__> sfsff
[18:49] <trism> Trinity33: I usually use the --init-file option of bash to do that
[18:50] <Kangarooo> Quickard: !checksum
[18:50] <bitsmart> stdisease, ok, now running sudo service --status-all shows "[ ? ]  mpd", does that mean it is stopped?
[18:50] <stdisease> idk does the term codepage even apply in a linux environment?
[18:50] <Kangarooo> eh. Quickard https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[18:50] <drizzt_> stdisease, no, linux uses libastral for mapping characters, no codepages for sure
[18:51] <llutz> Trinity33: sleep/read is a ugly hack. but sorry, i never tried what you want, so i cannot say
[18:52] <stdisease> bitsmart, no idea but you can see if the daemon's process is still running 'pgrep mpd' or 'ps aux | grep mpd'
[18:52] <serverduck> How do you enable NTP on an ubuntu 9.10 machine to update it's clock with the internet servers??
 what u mean by --init-file? use in launcher. "gnome-terminal --init-patch to the application"?
[18:53] <bitsmart> stdisease, ps aux | grep mpd  returns "drew      3858  0.0  0.0   3040   808 pts/0    S+   13:52   0:00 grep --color=auto mpd", which means that my command is the only found instance of mpd, right?
[18:54] <stdisease> bitsmart, which means it isn't running anymore, mpd
[18:55] <trism> Trinity33: you can use the terminal to execute bash --init-file=/path/to/script; --init-file uses a bash script instead of ~/.bashrc as the initial script, so it executes it and then starts bash. You may want to source ~/.bashrc at the start of the script

[19:08] <tylerg> Is there any easy guide to setting up printer sharing from a mac osx to a ubuntu printer
[19:08] <Stargaze> DasEi: try usb-modeswitch
[19:09] <DasEi> Stargaze: it's about john 2 m stargate bt878 usb-tv-receiver
[19:09] <john2> what does modeswitch do
[19:10] <drizzt_> can anyone tell me why Gnome create files with names in UTF-8 despite system locale is ANSI?
[19:10] <DasEi> john2: lsmod                 << any driver loaded for it ?
[19:10] <adolfo> #ubuntu-classroom
[19:10] <Stargaze> john2: try and install usb-modeswitch
[19:10] <john2> did with card no and tuner recomended no go
[19:11] <rmozden> ok, where are the two I was chatting with eariler
[19:12] <ubyserver> Can anyone recommend an image software for ubuntu so that I can ghost my installation?
[19:12] <`mOOse`> ubyserver clonezilla
[19:12] <goldins> ubyserver: clonezilla?
[19:12] <goldins> ghost?
[19:12] <goldins> dd ?
[19:12] <`mOOse`> clonezilla is freeware
[19:12] <ubyserver> I want to backup as this is my main machine
[19:13] <goldins> I use rsync for backups
[19:13] <goldins> -HPavzx
[19:13] <`mOOse`> it's a cloning sw, not a traditional backup sw
[19:13] <ubyserver> if I type in the wrong command and mess things up badly.
[19:13] <ubyserver> I just want to pop in and restore
[19:13] <`mOOse`> ubyserver?
[19:13] <ubyserver> so clonezilla?
[19:13] <Stargaze> ubyserver: try 'Quickstart', that's a tool for Linux
[19:14] <`mOOse`> clonezilla
[19:14] <rmozden> Ok, here's my issue and lets see who can help.  Either via whitelist or blacklist iptables is gonna take forever to churn out the rules.  My allow list would have 6 countries in it and still be quite large as compared to the blacklist that would be 100k lines of CIDR addresses.  Do I have to recompile the kernel for ipset?
[19:14] <ubyserver> thanx `mOOse`
[19:14] <DasEi> john2: http://howtoubuntu.org/?p=20, if that will not help, there is a repo (francois...can't remember)that builds all that drivers, I'm currently working so can't change to that machine
[19:14] <goldins> so I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/firewall.html under "IP Masquerading" and my nat isn't working. Further, the nat table isn't showing up in iptables -L
[19:14] <Stargaze> ubyserver: search google for 'quickstart swiss army knife'
[19:15] <goldins> is there another way to setup nat?
 look i have 100 applications which work in terminal so i cant remember path to every of them. what i want to do is to make launchers so i can see and start any i want to. for example when i type in terminal cd /..../..../...../name of the app it will start in terminal ready for new command so can i use some command in launcher etc to open that app and the terminal will be ready for new command?
[19:15] <DasEi> john2: try that, I can look over in ~ 45 mins
[19:16] <NewUs3R> how i install flux box in karmic and remove gnome?
[19:16] <goldins> don't remove gnome
[19:16] <goldins> you'll regret it
[19:16] <Stargaze> NewUs3R: use Synaptic Package Manager
[19:16] <Trinity33> another question if u ahev 100 applications is there a way in 9.10 to create sort of menu and chose which one u want to start after clicking on it?
[19:16] <NewUs3R> Ok
[19:16] <NewUs3R> Thanks Everyone..
[19:17] <blakkheim> NewUs3R: sudo aptitude install fluxbox
[19:17] <Stargaze> NewUs3R: type sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[19:18] <DasEi> Trinity33: list them in a script ?
[19:18] <kai_> Im usinf lernid but I cant see the slides and there's no chat to ask quetions
[19:19] <grandrew> hi all! I have a strange problem: the kernel reports 2600M of memory available on boot, but 'free' shows only 1366M is total :-\ how can that be?

[19:22] <g0sp> hello - why is it that the ubuntu live CD has everything it needs to make the wireless card work, but when you actually install from said live CD you have to connect to the internet before you can make your wireless card work?  Doesn't that seem....stupid and obtrusive?
[19:22] <Stargaze> mario-prkos: use 'display' in control center
[19:23] <mario-prkos> Stargaze: how do I get tot hat?
[19:23] <Red_HamsterX> SealedWithAKiss, compizconfig-settings-manager #I think you need to install that, though I don't recall for sure.

[19:25] <mario-prkos> Stargaze: thanx Ill try that
[19:25] <Stargaze> Roasted: check the user's permissions
[19:25] <Red_HamsterX> g0sp, though I wish I could give you a link, there are places where misconfigurations like that should be reported for developers to address in future releases. If you can spare a few moments, try searching for such a place on the Ubuntu site.

[19:29] <d0uglas> hi folks.. having a problem with wordpress which from a lot of googling is pointing toward apache as being the culprit. Wordpress cannot resolve any hosts when trying to make its own outgoing connections. The rest of the server seems otherwise fine. Any help would be appreciated...
[19:29] <serverduck> Why can't I listen to a .pls file in amarok?

[19:30] <RazorC> hi
[19:30] <hiexpo> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade?
[19:30] <RazorC> can someone suggest me a free recovery program for ubuntu 9.04?
[19:30] <acicula> FrEaKmAn_: whats the output of free -m (pastebin)
[19:30] <FrEaKmAn_> acicula, even stranger is that "free" is showing thah Im using 1.3gb out of 3gb
[19:31] <acicula> JoeSomeBuddy: does the xorg.conf file even exist
[19:31] <Serraphyn> How can I make sure the new nvidia driver I just installed is running and not hte 185 driver that ubuntu installed?
[19:31] <acicula> FrEaKmAn_: thats normal, ubuntu will use whatever memory is available for caching of stuff
[19:31] <d0uglas> shleda: .htaccess in the wp directory?
[19:31] <JoeSomeBuddy> acicula, beats me, how do i check that?
[19:31] <k0d3g3ar> ne1 have a recommendation for a good USB DVD Writer for my laptop that works with Ubuntu?
[19:31] <FrEaKmAn_> acicula, http://pastie.org/850381
[19:31] <shleda> d0uglas: yes
[19:31] <acicula> JoeSomeBuddy: what do you need nvidia-settings for?
[19:32] <FrEaKmAn_> acicula, ok. But I still dont know why its shoing 3gb instead of 4
[19:32] <acicula> FrEaKmAn_: what does uname -a say?
[19:32] <JoeSomeBuddy> acicula, someone told me that woudl save = wrong
[19:32] <FrEaKmAn_> acicula, Linux TheBadMachine 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[19:32] <pancakez> anybody know where I can find any information on resizing a partition that's being used by mdadm for a raid-0 without destroying any data on the raid?
[19:32] <d0uglas> shleda: not much in that other than mod_rewrite stuff .. a long time ago this used to work fine, wordpress, and then i messed with mod rewrite, perhaps that's the culprit?
[19:32] <acicula> JoeSomeBuddy: because the config file doesnt exist i suppose
[19:32] <acicula> !nvidia | JoeSomeBuddy
[19:33] <Tamnakz> Is there any fix to egt aim to work with Pidgin?
[19:34] <bcurtiswx_> where can I find what's in the build queue for the i386 builders in launchpad.net/builders
[19:34] <xangua> Tamnakz: have you read the page or asked in #pidgin¿¿
[19:34] <shleda> d0uglas: better verify the logs, if you are on linux go to /var/logs/httpd/ and look for error and access logs
[19:34] <acicula> FrEaKmAn_: hmm interesting, but dont know why it wouldnt see more then 3Gb
[19:34] <serverduck> Does someone know if Amarok has suport for files like"listen.pls" I can't listen to them.
[19:35] <Tamnakz> no
[19:35] <acicula> FrEaKmAn_: it should be able to, when you boot it says 3GB in the bios? what graphic card do you have?
[19:35] <RazorC> Hello there, can somebody help me with my problem?
[19:35] <wunjo> I would use Rythembox is I was you duck
[19:35] <wunjo>  does it all
[19:35] <Tamnakz> xangua: how do I get to #pidgin?
[19:35] <FrEaKmAn_> acicula, it says 4gb. I have ati radeon 2600xt

[19:36] <digitig> I'm trying to mount what I think is an ext3 formatted drive, connected via a SATA to USB adaptor. But I have no idea where to look for it! I've tried looking in /var/log/messages, but don't see a connection message. When I try it in MS Windows it autodetects the devide no problems (but can't read the disk, of course). How do I find the drive and mount it under Ubuntu?
[19:36] <shleda> rythombox looks like a lighweight player, though i didnt like it
[19:36] <DasEi> grandrew: do you use shared memory for graphics or a ramdisk ?
[19:36] <Tamnakz> xangua: says I cannot join? :(
[19:36] <SealedWithAKiss> sudo apt-get install hotsmtp isn't working, E: Package hotsmtp has no installation candidate

[19:36] <DasEi> !register | Tamnakz
[19:36] <JoeSomeBuddy> acicula, the file does exist
[19:36] <JoeSomeBuddy> acicula, the file does exist so why no saving?
[19:37] <wunjo> or just wine Winamp
[19:37] <acicula> FrEaKmAn_: JoeSomeBuddy then you need the permissions to modify it, superuser
[19:37] <wunjo> very simple solution
[19:37] <wunjo> or use VLC
[19:37] <acicula> FrEaKmAn_: whats the output of:  file /lib/libc-2.10.1.so
[19:37] <Kimo> how to resolve this prob Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:
[19:37] <Kimo> Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[19:37] <SealedWithAKiss>  -- Any idea why?
[19:37] <JoeSomeBuddy> acicula, i ran nvidia settings as root, didnt help at all
[19:38] <SealedWithAKiss> sudo apt-get install hotsmtp isn't working, E: Package hotsmtp has no installation candidate
[19:38] <acicula> RazorC: please ask your questions in #ubuntu and not via pm

[19:38] <Red_HamsterX> SealedWithAKiss, that package does not appear to be supported anymore.
[19:38] <Kimo> i want to see what is this prob Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.
[19:38] <dangerman> i have a problem with startupmanager after installing ubuntu
[19:38] <SealedWithAKiss> Red_HamsterX, what do I do to get it? I'm following a tutorial on configuring evolution to work with Hotmail. The tutorial requires me to install that package.
[19:39] <RazorC> !ask I have installed testdisk.deb but now I'm unable to locate it since it doesn't appear in the Applications menu
[19:39] <DasEi> Kimo: you have a poulated /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:39] <acicula> FrEaKmAn_: hmm odd, by all accounts it should see all the memory. dunno
[19:39] <DasEi> ?
[19:39] <Kimo> How i can resolve this prob
[19:39] <mario-prkos> Stargaze: just FYI and thanx for your help: I connected to my comp from laptop and used remote x export display to get gnome-control-center and deinstalled the driver, after that I rebooted and I got gui! I'm not reinstalling the driver and hope it will pick up all the new monitor settings :)
[19:39] <Kimo> i send to you my Xorg.conf configuration
[19:39] <wunjo> Kimo that is a goo question
[19:39] <dangerman> grub defaults to windows after using startupmanager
[19:39] <acicula> RazorC: use dpkg-query to find out what testdisk.deb installed?
[19:39] <wunjo> good rather
[19:39] <RazorC> how do I do that?
[19:39] <raj> GUYS does anyone get RANDOM firefox shutdowns when going to the itunes store???? ITS weird everything else works and stable except itunes store.. is this a joke from apple?
[19:40] <Kimo> Ok wait plzzz
[19:40] <DasEi> RazorC: don't use !, triggers the ro-bot ;; you start it from trml
[19:40] <wunjo> I have seen that happen many times
[19:40] <grandrew> DasEi, I guess not.. gfx memory shows 124 MB. How can I figure out if there is a ramdisk?
[19:40] <FrEaKmAn_> acicula, anyway... thanks
[19:40] <Red_HamsterX> SealedWithAKiss, you could try manually installing it from Intrepid (http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/hotsmtp), but that may not be a good idea. It may have been abandoned for a reason other than "too much work to maintain for the amount of use it's expected to provide"
[19:40] <RazorC> oh ok
[19:40] <trism> SealedWithAKiss: you apparenlty don't need it for evolution anymore http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/setting-up-evolution-mail-gmail-and-hotmail
[19:40] <DasEi> grandrew: htop says ?
[19:40] <wunjo> Lets see if I can find a Page that will help you
[19:40] <Roasted> Guys - if I add a printer, does it get added in some sort of hidden .whatever file in my home directory??
[19:40] <wunjo> ok Kimo
[19:40] <Red_HamsterX> SealedWithAKiss, go with what trism said. That's probably why it was dropped.

[19:44] <guntbert> !enter | oliver_ , wunjo
[19:45] <Tamnakz> instructions are in pidgin.im?
[19:45] <grandrew> DasEi, the most intersting part is that dmesg says: [    0.000000] Memory: 2665604k/2813312k available. So it seems that kernel does really find it but does not make it available for userspace
[19:45] <oliver_> !enter
[19:45] <Kimo> but i cant change or save nothing in Nvidia setting
[19:45] <blackbear> the one in sane seems to just make a mess...
[19:46] <goldins> why isn't my nat working?
[19:46] <Roasted> Guys - if I add a printer, does it get added in some sort of hidden .whatever file in my home directory??
[19:46] <DasEi> grandrew: and the amounts in meminfo ? maybe paste it
[19:46] <JoeSomeBuddy> anyone know why i cant use my nvidia driver? can someone with experience on nvidia help me out?
[19:46] <Nijverheid> does anyone know if there's a plugin in pidgin to display what music you're listening to?
[19:46] <SealedWithAKiss> trism, thanks a lot it worked!
[19:46] <oliver_> Joe, what kind of driver do you got and what happens ?
[19:47] <oliver_> grafic card*
[19:47] <ni1s> Roasted, no, what is it you're looking for?
[19:47] <spartan07> If I wanted to connect my win7 pc @ work to my ubuntu pc @ home would I need samba or is there something like an ssh server for windows?
[19:47] <trism> SealedWithAKiss: excellent!
[19:47] <Giant81> Anyone ever joined Ubuntu to a windows domain?
[19:47] <llutz> spartan07: http://www.freesshd.com/
[19:48] <Roasted> nils - I'm setting up a default profile for Ubuntu so any user that logs in gets the same settings. I need the users to get the same printer as well.
[19:48] <DasEi> Giant81: sure
[19:48] <JoeSomeBuddy> oliver_, i cant answer you unless you tell me how to find out the model
[19:48] <ni1s> spartan07, or just a plain ftp server? if your empoyer hasnt blocked ports
