[13:32] <Serafeim> maximize and resizing windows when moving at the edge of the screen don't work. How can I activate this feature again?
[13:32] <jrib> protauk: what does it mean to sort by the mask?  You want to arrange files according to their file type?
[13:32] <protauk> jrib: no
[13:33] <theadmin> jrib: He gave an example, he wants to filter files to only match a certain "mask"
[13:33] <jrib> protauk: did you mean "filter" when you said "sort"?
[13:33] <protauk> may be, exuse my english
[13:34] <dddbmt> troydm, that

[13:34] <dddbmt> that's exactly what I'm trying to do! I'll try that out as soon as I get a break! ;)
[13:34] <dddbmt> Thanks again!
[13:34] <theadmin> Serafeim: You don't have to repeat.
[13:34] <troydm> dddbmt: ur welcome
[13:34] <Serafeim> theadmin: I'm really sorry for that.
[13:35] <jrib> protauk: to options that may do what you want... 1) edit -> select items matching   2) search button
[13:35] <urthmover> Would someone be willing to talk to me for a bit about bash scripting with ssh, expect and loop for connections to multiple servers running some commands and moving on to the next server
[13:35] <jrib> s/to/two
[13:36] <jrib> urthmover: ask an actual question though if you want scripting help, #bash may be a better channel
[13:36] <urthmover> jrib: jumped in there and it appears that I was the admin so I figured that it wasn't alegit channel
[13:36] <urthmover> s/alegt/a legit
[13:37] <urthmover> haha
[13:37] <protauk> jrib: thanx a lot, exatly what i was looking for
[13:37] <urthmover> I'll googly around for a bash channel it might be on efnet
[13:37] <protauk> thanx to all others
[13:37] <jrib> urthmover: umm, try again as #bash is pretty active channel on freenode
[13:38] <coz_> urthmover,  isnt it  #bash
[13:38] <jrib> protauk: no problem
[13:39] <mcl0vin> good morning folks

[13:40] <mcl0vin> i am trying to edit .profile using 'vi .profile' and that obviously is not working can someone help me plz
[13:40] <Pici> mcl0vin: Whats happening instead?
[13:40] <mcl0vin> Pici:  empty file
[13:41] <mcl0vin> as if i am creating a new one
[13:41] <Pici> mcl0vin: Are you sure that it exists?
[13:41] <mcl0vin> yes, its doing it for alll my dot files
[13:42] <mcl0vin> i need to edit my (dot) file , the configuration files
[13:42] <Pici> mcl0vin: I know what a dot file is.  The question was whether the file actually exists.  For example, I don't have a .profile.
[13:43] <GreenClo1d> hello everyone!
[13:43] <mcl0vin> ok show my how to edit any . file
[13:43] <coz_> mcl0vin,  they should open in gedit easily,, as does the .profile on this system under the home directory ,,,yes?
[13:44] <mcl0vin> GreenClo1d: howdy
[13:44] <sam_mule> How do i install python 2.7
[13:44] <mcl0vin> i wonder if i have to give it the whole path to the file Pici
[13:44] <theadmin> mcl0vin: In Nautilus, or other GTK file selectors, hit Ctrl+H to show .files
[13:44] <theadmin> mcl0vin: Is that what you want?
[13:45] <Pici> mcl0vin: If you're in the same directory as the file in question: vi .filename
[13:45] <mcl0vin> theadmin: no i want to know how to edit them vi .ssh i.e
[13:46] <theadmin> mcl0vin: Well, that'd work... if .ssh exists
[13:46] <theadmin> mcl0vin: I never heard of such a file however. You sure that's not a folder?
[13:46] <sam_mule> How do i install python 2.7....
[13:46] <theadmin> sam_mule: On Ubuntu it's unfortunately impossible
[13:46] <theadmin> sam_mule: Well, except from source of course
[13:47] <n53jf> Hello, I don`t know why the sound doesn`t work on ubuntu 11.04 ...can someone help me?
[13:47] <theadmin> sam_mule: However it'll break your things, maybe, we're not responsible for any damage caused.
[13:47] <sam_mule> theadmin: hwo easy is source to complie and install ?
[13:47] <mcl0vin> well am in / and i do "ls -a | grep '^\.'"
[13:47] <theadmin> sam_mule: Honestly? ./configure ; make ; sudo make install
[13:47] <mcl0vin> then i try to edit any of the (dot) and its empty
[13:47] <jrib> sam_mule: python is 2.7 on natty
[13:47] <Pici> theadmin: There shouldn't be any dot files in /
[13:48] <sam_mule> jrib: thats 11.04 yes...
[13:48] <coz_> yes
[13:48] <theadmin> Pici: /? Okay, that indeed is a very awkward place to search for them
[13:48] <jrib> sam_mule: yes, natty is 11.04
[13:48] <theadmin> Pici: I thought he's in ~
[13:48] <mcl0vin> theadmin: Pici  ^^
[13:48] <Pici> mcl0vin: What? You just said you are in /
[13:48] <alazare619> so i got a problem, post kernel update nvidia driver wont load anymore, whats the command i need to do cant remember off the top of my head
[13:48] <mcl0vin> well am in / and i do "ls -a | grep '^\.'"
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> alazare619: could boot to net root recovery and reinstall dkms
[13:49] <mcl0vin> well am in '/ 'and i do '"ls -a | grep '^\.'"'
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> mcl0vin: that will take a long time
[13:49] <Pici> ActionParsnip: No it won't.
[13:49] <quatitos> Is there any way to power down an unused discrete video card without using vga_switcheroo?
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> Pici: from / using grep, it takes a long time here. I've tried
[13:50] <mcl0vin> Pici: so i list the dot file , and when i try to edit , thats when i get the empty file
[13:50] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Not unless you plan to do a ls -R
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> ahhhhhh
[13:50] <mcl0vin> i guess i am not in the same dir
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> Pici: my bad, yeah should be fast :D
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: or grep -R ;)
[13:50] <Pici> mcl0vin: You need to navigate to your user's home directory.  I don't know why you're looking in /
[13:50] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Yeah or that
[13:51] <mcl0vin> Pici: blond moment man , am telling you

[13:53] <theadmin> Anyhow, I have to leave.

[13:56] <AnxiousNut> Can the CLI tool: split be used to split a file only once, the first chunk having the specified size and the remaining in another chunk?
[13:56] <bastidrazor> i'm going to call lorez's mom.. i like mothers
[13:56] <iridium> very educational
[13:56] <AcidRain> ubottu, plz stop flooding
[13:56] <AcidRain> :)
[13:57] <jrib> AnxiousNut: I suppose one stupid way to do it would be to split by that size then join the remaining parts back together
[13:57] <AcidRain> you really arent. i was never crediting you that far
[13:57] <csdserver> well.  that was interesting... who was that strange sad person?
[13:57] <coz_> AnxiousNut,   is this a text file?
[13:58] <AnxiousNut> coz_ No, I need something general
[13:58] <jrib> AnxiousNut: otherwise, use dd I guess
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> jrib: dd sounds pretty good
[13:58] <Punna> ActionParsnip: Sorry. i'm back now. What were you saying?
[13:59] <tavish> my keys stop working until for about 10 minutes, i cant figure out what's wrong. Its only a few keys that stop working, delte, left key, sometimes alt or control too
[13:59] <coz_> AnxiousNut,  I believe  awk  can split text files  ,, ah for other files ,, let me check
[13:59] <strange_> ActionParsnip, your suggestion didnt fix the jack sense issue
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Punna: no idea, just had food
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> strange_: gah
[14:00] <Punna> ActionParsnip: ACPI 30k interrupt
[14:01] <Punna> ActionParsnip: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56278/acpi-30k-interrupts-per-second/56290#56290
[14:02] <coz_> AnxiousNut,  not sure then  look here for some  info   http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-compress-and-split-files-in-ubuntu/2008/10/06
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> Punna: ahh yes, not sure then
[14:03] <AnxiousNut> coz_, thanks anyways, I found cut which seems exactly what I need.
[14:03] <coz_> AnxiousNut,  if you are going to compress the file you could  use  rar    rar a -v100m foo.rar  foo
[14:04] <coz_> AnxiousNut,  that would be ech part a max of 100mb
[14:04] <coz_> each
[14:04] <tavish> Ok, i noticed that leftalt+right is working, but leftalt+left is not. And right alt+left/right works. Delete still not working. Can anyone suggest a way to check what might be wrong?
[14:04] <coz_> AnxiousNut,  there is also   mkrar  for a ui
[14:05] <AnxiousNut> coz_ Thanks, dude. :)

[14:16] <jessicajames> I will be getting a new netbook tomorrow and plan on dual booting ubuntu with windows 7. I've used fedora for over a year now but want to give ubuntu a shot now. Which should I install first in order to effectively have the ability to dual boot?
[14:16] <coz_> GreenClo1d,    http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/dir2ogg.1.html
[14:17] <xangua> !dualboot
[14:17] <xangua> jessicajames: windows
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> jessicajames: install Win7 to a portion of the drive, if its preinstalled then Win7 can shrink it's own partitions then install to the free space
[14:17] <InfectedSoul> how would one save to /var?
[14:17] <GreenClo1d> i know i can do it using Sound Converter but i would like to see if there's a work-around it using the command line
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> GreenClo1d: the like coz gave is what you need
[14:18] <jessicajames> thanks xangua and ActionParsnip
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> coz_: nice one dude
[14:20] <coz_> GreenClo1d,  and that link should have  command line options available ,, I believe dir2ogg is command line anyway

[14:23] <ActionParsnip> MUDs are Multi-User Dungeons
[14:24] <iridium> sam_mule, are the grandfather of the MMORPGs, multiplayer text based games
[14:24] <coz_> sam_mule,   I believe the BSD  games in the repositories  may have  terminal based games

[14:38] <Balaji_TVR> Dear Ubuntu friends, I have some question related to Proxy settings. Could you pls. help answering...
[14:38] <Balaji_TVR> In the "network proxy", I have two locations.
[14:38] <Balaji_TVR> 1) Default (used for office with some proxy settings)
[14:38] <Balaji_TVR> 2) Home (Used for home network, i.e, direct internet connection)
[14:38] <Balaji_TVR> Here my question is, when I switch from "office" location to "default" location, still the environtment variables (like https_proxy) are set and not resetting at all. This is forcing me to restart my laptop to get updated the new environtment settings.
[14:38] <Balaji_TVR> a)So, how to get the environment variables updated without restarting?
[14:38] <Balaji_TVR> b)Is there any way to automatic proxy config for home/office network?
[14:38] <FloodBot1> Balaji_TVR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:38] <NetKing> what does +zq do ?
[14:40] <sam_mule> overkill server? how do i get that ?
[14:40] <designbybeck> In ubuntu 11.04 running unity and 3D Cube, I think turning on 3D Cube turned off the Window Max. and snapping to the sides of the screen. How can i turn that back on?
[14:40] <designbybeck> can I have the 3D cube and this other feature on at the same time?
[14:40] <dr_willis> designbybeck,  cube and unity fight...   if you dont set them up right..
[14:41] <escott> Balaji_TVR, the environment variables will only be changed by a logout/login. the network manager can only change the env for its session and any newly created sessions, but not for the existing session
[14:42] <dr_willis> designbybeck,  to reset compiz back to defaults ---> gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
[14:42] <Balaji_TVR> Thanks escott, Is there any way to set auto proxy settings between home and office network?
[14:42] <escott> Balaji_TVR, as for (b) what are you hoping to accomplish. is your main concern that when you switch connections you are now attempting to go through a proxy that doesn't exist
[14:42] <designbybeck> Hmmmm dr_willis ....i've got everything working pretty nice with each other... i'm just affraid to turn that back on
[14:42] <designbybeck> LOL
[14:43] <designbybeck> the Grid
[14:43] <dr_willis> designbybeck,  to reset unity --> unity --reset
[14:43] <dr_willis> designbybeck,  just forget that silly cube ever existed.. :)
[14:43] <hwilde> cube4life!
[14:43] <designbybeck> .....Actually! I turned on the GRID... nothing else broke... AND i still have the cube as well!
[14:43] <dr_willis> they really really need a 'reset settings'  gui/button...
[14:43] <designbybeck> I'm going to keep holding my breath!
[14:44] <Pici> dr_willis: Might be worth it to file a wishlist bug.
[14:44] <dr_willis> Pici,  i wont hold my breath. :)
[14:44] <hwilde> there is a way in the compiz settings manager to reset to defaults
[14:44] <dbolser> hi
[14:44] <dr_willis> but i will mention the 'unsupported by this channel tool' "Ubuntu-tweak" does have a reset-stuff-back-to-defaults feature.
[14:44] <designbybeck> of course when you are draggin to close to the edge for it to snap and maximize it tries to flip around to the other side.... but I can live with that!
[14:44] <dbolser> how do I change my touchpad settings?
[14:45] <escott> Balaji_TVR, i dont have much experience with proxies on my own machine, but one approach might be to install squid proxy on your local machine and force all your connections through it, you could then adjust squid to go through the corporate proxy or not depending upon the situation
[14:45] <designbybeck> Thanks for the help dr_willis
[14:45] <bernhard1> is it possible to set up LVM for all partitions except for /boot ??
[14:45] <escott> bernhard1, yes, but you probably want to use the alternate installer
[14:45] <dbolser> I found system -> settings -> mouse preferences, but it covers very little
[14:46] <bernhard1> is it possible to set up LVM for all partitions except for /boot ??
[14:46] <Balaji_TVR> Thanks escott, I will go through that. BTW I wonder why linux could not come out with nice auto proxy config like how MS Windows does!
[14:46] <tq|Memphis> ok i just upgraded my ubuntu version to 11

[14:47] <tq|Memphis> ty very much
[14:47] <dbolser> Pici: how do I do things like customize window decorations?
[14:48] <escott> Balaji_TVR, i suspect it has more to do with your use of environment variables. windows still requires a logout login for an environment change to take effect. is there some way for you to accomplish things without relying upon the env variables

[14:54] <edbian> dr_willis: I think it was him!
[14:54] <edbian> :P
[14:54] <dr_willis> edbian,  :) or his evil twin!
[14:54] <edbian> Darkmode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[14:54] <edbian> Darkmode: Look at the GUI method near the top :)
[14:55] <bernhard1> is it possible to set up LVM for all partitions except for /boot ??
[14:55] <escott> Balaji_TVR, it may be easier to just leave the proxy setting on, and then start update-manager from the command line by saying: unset http_proxy; unset https_proxy; update-manager
[14:55] <tq|Memphis> !GNOME
[14:57] <escott> bernhard1, yes. i think thats the third time you have asked that. but you probably need to use the alternate installer. please ask a more specific question
[14:59] <dr_willis> !lvm
[15:00] <Balaji_TVR> Escott, Thats great info, thank you. Only for these two application (Update manager / UbuntuOne) I bother about proxy settings). Hope this could solve my problem until Linux community manage to find better solution. BTW any idea on how to run UbuntuOne?
[15:00] <escott> Balaji_TVR, i don't use it myself. theoretically you could kill it and restart it from the command line, but I wonder about all the nautilus plugins
[15:02] <dbolser> does anyone else have this problem, using touchpad, double click and drag is very difficult, because you have to start dragging on the second click
[15:02] <Guest50448> is alexfish here?
[15:02] <dbolser> on my old box, you could double click and then drag later
[15:02] <[HzF]Rocker> Hey, how comes i can't change the stupid label of the usb stick i installed ubuntu on ? - The name doesn't quite fit the content >.<
[15:03] <GreenClo1d> have anyone tried using BruteScan, its a window app used to scan network details... does anyones here knows a linux alternative for this app? thanks~
[15:03] <dbolser> I'm not talking about drag loc, just the ability to drag more civily
[15:03] <dr_willis> [HzF]Rocker,  what filesystem is it?  you can change FS labels..
[15:03] <Guest50448> Need help on installing usb e-stick huawei on 10.04 AMD 64, kindly help
[15:03] <[HzF]Rocker> It's FAT32
[15:03] <znt^> hi, how do i make xset permanent? i've added "xset fp+ [fontdir] &" and "xset fp rehash" to .xinitrc and made it executable, but it won't work?
[15:04] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, its often a label in the usb stick partition, or a file in the usb that includes the name. repartition and relabel, or add the uuid to your fstab with a different name
[15:04] <Balaji_TVR> Escott, would this "unset http_proxy; unset https_proxy; update-manager" command unset temporarily or until next logout/login?
[15:04] <dr_willis> [HzF]Rocker,  gparted can relabvvel it. theres command line tools to do it also.
[15:04] <escott> Balaji_TVR, for that terminal session and any sessions spawned from it
[15:05] <znt^> ah, do i need to have "exec" in .xinitrc too?
[15:05] <Guest50448> I got external HDD, copied all files from Windows, but now, HDD is not mounting in ubuntu.... I didn't format the drive initial. is this the prob?
[15:05] <[HzF]Rocker> Can it relabel it if i run the linux on that stick?
[15:05] <dr_willis> znt^,  exec hands controll over to the thing being exec'd so id say no.
[15:05] <dr_willis> znt^,  you are using some unusual font directory?
[15:05] <znt^> dr_willis: so why won't the xset commands in .xinitrc get executed?
[15:06] <znt^> dr_willis: nah, /usr/share/fonts/proggy/
[15:06] <Balaji_TVR> escott, then its fine. Hope it should save me from logout/login every day eve from home. I will try today from home network. Thank you.
[15:06] <dr_willis> znt^,  .xinitrc only gets ran when you select the custome/xsession entry at the gdm login screen.. its not auto ran by every x session....
[15:06] <ubuntunewb> i need help usbmuxd
[15:06] <dr_willis> znt^,  you could just copy the fonts to your ~/.fonts dir
[15:06] <ubuntunewb> i cant do anything with my ipod except ssh
[15:07] <znt^> dr_willis: will its contents automatically get added to x's font dir?
[15:07] <ubuntunewb> i have no usbmux group and no usb group
[15:07] <dr_willis> znt^,  thats its purpose.. so yes
[15:07] <[HzF]Rocker> dr_willis: Can it relabel it if i run the linux on that stick?
[15:07] <znt^> *font path
[15:07] <ubuntunewb> i have been trying to fix it for 2-3 hours
[15:08] <ubuntunewb> if anyone could help that would be awesome
[15:08] <[HzF]Rocker> :o
[15:08] <znt^> dr_willis: okay, but i mean, do i need to do anything else than putting the pcf file in .fonts? the folder will automatically appear below 'Font Path:' upon executing 'xset -q' after a reboot?
[15:08] <dr_willis> !fonts
[15:08] <[HzF]Rocker> the new version looks much better than v10 :D
[15:08] <edbian> ubuntunewb: System -> Admin -> users and groups
[15:08] <ubuntunewb> i tried that
[15:08] <dr_willis> znt^,  i only use ttf.  try it and see...
[15:09] <dr_willis> znt^,  i never need to use any xset commands....
[15:09] <ubuntunewb> usb group and usbmux group dont excist
[15:09] <[HzF]Rocker> dr_willis: Can it relabel it if i run the linux on that stick?
[15:09] <dr_willis> znt^,  and .fonts would be for the user only. not system wide.
[15:09] <dr_willis> [HzF]Rocker,  try it and see..  the change may not take effect till you reboot.
[15:10] <znt^> dr_willis: okay, will do
[15:10] <ubuntunewb> so i can't change the permissions
[15:10] <ubuntunewb> because the groups dont exist
[15:11] <[HzF]Rocker> dr_wills, ok
[15:11] <ubuntunewb> i am on ubuntu 11.04 natty narwhal upgraded from maverick
[15:11] <ubuntunewb> original install was 10.04 lucid
[15:11] <ubuntunewb> upgraded lucid to maverick and maverick to natty
[15:11] <ubuntunewb> by update manager
[15:12] <Pici> !enter | ubuntunewb
[15:12] <ubuntunewb> oh sorry
[15:12] <ubuntunewb> i didnt know
[15:13] <[HzF]Rocker> Ehrm, Where did the settings/prefeneces and application menus go? - can i re-add them ?
[15:14] <Guest50448> I got external HDD, copied all files from Windows, but now, HDD is not mounting in ubuntu.... I didn't format the drive initial. is this the prob?
[15:14] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, in unity? they are gone. hit the windows key and start typing keywords like "keyboard" or "monitor" and you should get access to what you need
[15:15] <[HzF]Rocker> o
[15:15] <[HzF]Rocker> i see
[15:15] <escott> Guest50448, can you please plug in the device and !paste the following: (a) the output of "groups" (b) the contents of /etc/fstab (c) the output of "mount" (d) the contents of /proc/partitions
[15:15] <escott> !paste | Guest50448
[15:16] <Guest50448> escott: i use dual boot, now i am in windows as my e-stick not working in ubuntu..... :(
[15:17] <[HzF]Rocker> How odd, the device label was changed, but i didn't see it on the pc i did edit it on 0.o (I did plug it in several times)
[15:17] <escott> Guest50448, not sure what an e-stick is, but we can't tell you much without seeing things from the ubuntu side
[15:18] <Guest50448> escott: will be right back
[15:18] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, thats common you have to tell the kernel to rescan for partitions
[15:18] <aksyr> helloo
[15:18] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, partprobe
[15:18] <mrintegrity> does anyone use preseeding here?
[15:20] <dr_willis> [HzF]Rocker,  try it and see..  the change may not take effect till you reboot.   <--------------- Like i mentioned.. :) its still seeing the old info.
[15:21] <dr_willis> [HzF]Rocker,  i forgot about partprobe command.. its rarely used.
[15:21] <preetam> please tell me how to configure thunderbird for Ms exchange server in ubuntu 11.04
[15:21] <[HzF]Rocker> What the <censoured> ? - I thought reinstalling ubuntu would allow the pc to access the WIFI - but no the <censoured> Connect button is still greyed out, why ? :(
[15:21] <Ramses> I never saw thunderbird work
[15:22] <craigbass1976> I need a new printer.  I'm leaning toward laser that scans and faxes.  Anyone have particularly good luck with a specific model?  Brothers always work, but printing pdfs over the networks is always waaaaaay slow for some reason.
[15:22] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, have you verified drivers are installed and that you aren't blocked with rfkill
[15:22] <craigbass1976> Using the brother linux drivers anyway.
[15:22] <[HzF]Rocker> craigbass1976 - I got a Samsung ML1650 it's great if your interested in a black/white one
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> preetam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThunderbirdExchange
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: HP love linux
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> craigbass1976: check the HPLIP project ;)   avoid Kodak to the maxxx
[15:26] <[HzF]Rocker> escott: nothing is blocked except a bluetooth adapter (No need for me to use it at the moment)
[15:26] <craigbass1976> [HzF]Rocker, I'm leaning that way, mostly because I've yet to meet a home printer that prints photos well (I'm talking local photo shop quality -- not Wal-Mart developing), so there's no sense in getting one.
[15:26] <[HzF]Rocker> oh
[15:28] <[HzF]Rocker> What's wrong ? - i wanna use wifi :F
[15:29] <RA_drc_> hi, i'm plugging in an sd card reader into my ubuntu (11) machine, and the computer can see the slots of the reader, but it can't see the card itself....i tried plugging in the reader with a card into a windows machine, and it worked fine.  what's going on?
[15:30] <uro> hi, i am trying to set up a user that will be able to access the server by ssh and sftp but only to his own folder. i changed the sshd_config with ChrootDirectory and the sftp is working fine, however when trying to login with ssh it immediately exits with the error "/bin/sh: No such file or directory, Connection to <srver_name> closed" i suspect that this is simple because the /bin/sh is not accesable to the user, anyway to go around this issue?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> [HzF]Rocker: what is the driver module it uses?
[15:30] <escott> uro, that is impossible. if you chroot into their $HOME then they wouldn't have any programs they could run
[15:30] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip: uhH? - Sorry, i'm not that much of a linux guru ^^
[15:31] <xvilo> hai
[15:31] <funkster> Has anyone successfully used a touch screen monitor with ubuntu yet?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> [HzF]Rocker: run:  sudo lshw -C network      it will show the driver module
[15:31] <uro> escott: so how would you accomplish this task?
[15:31] <xvilo> funkster no (i dont have ubuntu) (and no touch screen)
[15:32] <escott> uro, you should be more specific about what exactly you want them to be able to do. you want them to have shell access, but you don't want them to have a shell... so you should try to come up with a list of things you want them to have
[15:33] <Guest10613> sad
[15:33] <uro> escott: you know what, what they need is sftp and no more than that
[15:33] <uro> i will leave it at that, thanks

[15:39] <skrite> i need some advice on buying hardware. we are setting up a mysql-cluster and need two to three machines at the least to kick it off. We looked at some servers and were quoted some $24000 for both machines. My question is.. is it more efficient to buy more less powerful machines or is bigger better?
[15:39] <nmvictor> I havent seen a reliable program in ubuntu to send AT commands to a Broadband modem, Is their any specia setup required to send AT commmands or are AT command sent to the modem as just any data to be interpreted by the modem? Anyone with a little bit more infor to help
[15:39] <wols_> skrite: ##hardware
[15:40] <RA_drc> hi, i'm plugging in an sd card reader into my ubuntu (11) machine, and the computer can see the slots of the reader, but it can't see the card itself....i tried plugging in the reader with a card into a windows machine, and it worked fine.  what's going on?
[15:40] <newb> what subtitle formats does Totem Movie Player take?
[15:40] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip: Tried it, but that connect button is still grey
[15:41] <dr_willis> nmvictor,  ive never even knew a 'broadband' modem used AT commands.. I just used  them with  my serial port modems years ago. I could send them via echo "ATDT" > /dev/ttys0    or similer commands back then.
[15:41] <[HzF]Rocker> RA_drc, the device might be disabled when you plug it into a linux pc
[15:41] <NeurotoXineee> wazaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[15:41] <escott> RA_drc, does the kernel see the partitions? cat /proc/partitions. also if you can provide more information about the card reader (model and driver) you can get that with lshw
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: when you plug in the device run:  lsb_release -a; dmesg | tail     whenyou then plug in the SD card run the same command, pastebin the whole thing please
[15:42] <NeurotoXineee> anyone there?
[15:42] <newb> what subtitle formats does Totem Movie Player take??
[15:42] <[HzF]Rocker> NeurotoXinee: I'm not :P

[15:50] <dbruns> I mean the partition the LVM lives on... not partitions within
[15:50] <escott> Guest42710, that all looks ok. what about your /proc/partitions

[15:56] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip: the wireless channel should be fine, encryption takes really long time to change, so i'd like not to. What's wcid ?
[15:57] <quatitos> escott, I'm brand new to linux, so I have no idea what a d3 power state is! ;) But I'll Google it now and see if I can sort it out. Thank you!

[16:09] <oCean> !guidelines > Ramses
[16:09] <Ramses> ok
[16:09] <rayvtirx> attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read abort y/n?
[16:09] <rumpe1> craigbass1976, ssh -version (?)
[16:10] <rayvtirx> sorry ignore error y/n
[16:10] <rumpe1> craigbass1976, erm... or even ssh -v ;)
[16:10] <Wavesonics> hey I'm looking for a wiki that has good support for code, syntax highlighting in the articles. I know Mediawiki has a plugin, but are there any others Wikis that are maybe lighter weight and support code in the articles?
[16:10] <escott> RA_drc, how badly is it hung?
[16:10] <craigbass1976> rumpe1, thanks.  I was being too verbose...
[16:11] <oCean> Wavesonics: maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic, since that's not an #ubuntu issue
[16:11] <rayvtirx> ill go y
[16:11] <Wavesonics> oCean, thanks
[16:12] <RA_drc> escott: it won't terminate when i type ctrl-c
[16:12] <jack_eire> Hi there. I recently resized my partitions to make more space fo my Windows C drive. I used up all the unused space with GParted and it worked fine. However, not when I turn on the computer I get "GRUB loading, please wait....  Error 15". Is it possible I have taken up the space Grub was using?
[16:13] <rightlegred> Hey, someone mind helping me with a grub error?
[16:13] <Ramses> you guys need to work on a cygwin like version of ubuntu
[16:13] <Ramses> I would love it
[16:13] <jack_eire> rightlegred: Error 15?
[16:13] <DangerOnTheRangr> Ramses: What do you mean, "Cygwin-like"?
[16:13] <AcidRain> ok #ubuntu. i have a webcam and 9.04 jaunty
[16:14] <AcidRain> how do i get this thing working?
[16:14] <rightlegred> jack_eire: it says no such device
[16:14] <Ramses> I want to do everything that is possible with ubuntu but on a xp machine
[16:14] <oCean> AcidRain: Jaunty is no longer supported
[16:14] <rightlegred> I tried removing my linux partition, when I did so I rebooted. The partition is gone
[16:14] <AcidRain> oCean, dont mean you cant help me?
[16:14] <rightlegred> But I keep getting the same error
[16:14] <oCean> Ramses: please keep to the support topic. Discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:14] <oCean> AcidRain: exactly
[16:14] <oCean> !upgrade | AcidRain
[16:14] <takpar> helooo
[16:15] <escott> RA_drc, but the computer is still responsive. it could be a bug in the driver for your device. have you tried searching for the device online?
[16:15] <takpar> dokhtare sen bala nist az shiraz
[16:15] <AcidRain> its very hard to upgrade when you run at least 20 servers
[16:15] <takpar> dokhtare sen bala nist az shiraz
[16:15] <RA_drc> Ramses: have you tried wubi?
[16:15] <takpar> dokhtare sen bala nist az shiraz
[16:15] <FloodBot1> takpar: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:15] <AcidRain> upgrading for me is suicide
[16:15] <escott> !grub | jack_eire i would just reinstall grub
[16:15] <Hachya> wait, u removed a linux partition and rebooted.....
[16:15] <Ramses> I will check it later
[16:15] <jack_eire> rightlegred: Is it because Grub is looking for the partition you erased
[16:15] <oCean> AcidRain: it would be even harder to support *all* ubuntu versions
[16:15] <Hachya> and now it's gone.....I don't get the quandary
[16:15] <rightlegred> jack_eire: how would I go about fixing that?
[16:15] <jack_eire> ubottu: Thanks for that
[16:16] <RA_drc> escott: not yet, i'll see if i can find updated drivers online
[16:16] <escott> rightlegred, grub relies on files in /boot if you removed those your grub will be non-functional
[16:16] <rightlegred> mhm, I probably did remove those
[16:16] <craigbass1976> I need a newer ssh on this lucid box (at least 5.8) and wondered if getting http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-server-udeb_5.8p1-7_i386.udeb  (with the corresponding ssh package) is going to cause much trouble.  We got scanned by someone official lately and have to update.
[16:16] <rightlegred> I'm assuming the fix would be to reinstall ubuntu?
[16:16] <AcidRain> so you are saying that ubuntu 9.04 didnt have webcam support?
[16:16] <dommer> wow
[16:16] <Hachya> rightlegred: u need to respecify the partition is fstab unless you formatted it
[16:16] <dommer> Iḿ allowed in here again :P
[16:16] <dommer> cool
[16:16] <jrib> craigbass1976: what's the reason for requiring the update?
[16:16] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip: I can't install it, anything else i can try?
[16:16] <oCean> AcidRain: no, of course it did. But we cannot provide support for that version any more
[16:17] <takpar> dokhtare sen bala nist az shiraz
[16:17] <rightlegred> Hachya: it wasn't formatted, I've been messing with the partition though
[16:17] <AcidRain> who is we? im just curious
[16:17] <xangua> craigbass1976: not good isea to mix repositories
[16:17] <Hachya> rightlegred:....
[16:17] <AcidRain> did you help create ubuntu?
[16:17] <rayvtirx> right thanks - i did a sudo fsck /dev/sda1 and it is booting now, should i have ignored the errors during this check or not?
[16:17] <oCean> AcidRain: this channel
[16:17] <craigbass1976> jrib, it's an "OpenSSH GLOB_LIMIT Denial Of Service Vulnerability" issue...
[16:17] <AcidRain> and by some sworn secrecy you cannot help people in need
[16:17] <rightlegred> Hachya: I'
[16:17] <AcidRain> oh. just this channel
[16:17] <rightlegred> Err, sorry bad keyboard
[16:17] <AcidRain> well tell the admins to create me a channel called #unfortunate-ones
[16:17] <jrib> craigbass1976: and you're sure it hasn't been patched?  Security patches usually get cherry picked
[16:17] <oCean> AcidRain: and there are no more updates provided. The product is end of live
[16:18] <rightlegred> Hachya: I rarely mess with this kind of stuff. I assumed it was OK to delete my partition
[16:18] <Hachya> rightlegred: that's fine....so you removed the partition from the table completely?
[16:18] <rightlegred> Yeah, completely
[16:18] <rightlegred> I removed it and expanded the drive it was from
[16:18] <escott> rightlegred, you need to install whatever bootloader is appropriate for the os you run. if you dont want ubuntu it might not be grub
[16:18] <Hachya> rightlegred: how did u remove it? using what tool/command
[16:18] <rightlegred> Hachya: Win7 disk manager
[16:19] <Hachya> rightlegred: !@#$@#$
[16:19] <rightlegred> mhm
[16:19] <Hachya> rightlegred: XD
[16:19] <escott> rayvtirx, there were errors in your fsck that you ignored?
[16:19] <rightlegred> I probably did something very stupid :P
[16:19] <urlin2u> rightlegred, what is remaining OS?
[16:19] <Hachya> righrlegred: THAT may not be fixable...sometimes if done withgparted it can be recovered.... I dunno about removing with win 7 disk mgr
[16:19] <rightlegred> Win7
[16:19] <Hachya> urlin2u: Win7
[16:19] <RA_drc> escott: i take that back - control-c will (eventually) break it properly
[16:20] <urlin2u> rightlegred, do you have a recovery or install disc?
[16:20] <escott> rightlegred, at least in the past the correct tool to reinstall windows bootloader was fixmbr. don't know if that is still the case
[16:20] <rightlegred> I have a usb with the live stuff on
[16:20] <urlin2u> rightlegred, a W7 thumb
[16:20] <rightlegred> I probably have a W7 thumb around
[16:20] <escott> RA_drc, its just getting stuck as the kernel tries to read the fs. if it is very large and the device very slow that could take some time
[16:21] <ne2k> escott: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
[16:21] <urlin2u> rightlegred, find it boot to the cli and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr
[16:21] <Hachya> urlin2u: how will that recover his linux partition?
[16:21] <[HzF]Rocker> Grr..
[16:22] <rightlegred> I don't want to recover it
[16:22] <Hachya> ahhh
[16:22] <Hachya> my fault, yeah fixmbr
[16:22] <rightlegred> I was trying to remove it completelyt
[16:22] <Hachya> the bl is still there
[16:22] <urlin2u> Hachya, I thought that was gone and they wany W7 to boot.
[16:22] <urlin2u> want
[16:22] <Hachya> so fixmbr, and is that doesn't work, then first do fixboot, then fixmbr
[16:22] <ne2k> rightlegred: presumably you wouldn't have removed the partition and resized your other over it if you had wanted to keep it
[16:22] <rightlegred> mhm, urlin2u where abouts could I find this software?
[16:22] <Hachya> with either thumb or Install Disc
[16:22] <ne2k> rightlegred: I think this is really a windows question
[16:22] <urlin2u> rightlegred, what software.
[16:23] <ne2k> rightlegred: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
[16:23] <Hachya> ne2k: why yes, yes it is XD
[16:23] <rightlegred> Probably, I dislike the windows support though, seems terribad
[16:23] <rightlegred> I'll move to google
[16:23] <rightlegred> Thanks guys
[16:23] <Hachya> rightlegred: you still have ur windows install disc?
[16:23] <urlin2u> rightlegred, I will see you at #windows
[16:23] <Hachya> XD
[16:24] <Hachya> it's just funny tho, asking in ubuntu channel "how do I remove ubuntu and keep windows" we'll tell you anything ti screw up the windows partition :D jk jk
[16:24] <rayvtirx> ok thanks guys - escott
[16:24] <rayvtirx>  bfn
[16:25] <krazykrivda> does 'gcc' need to be run on the specific machine to compile or can I compile on 1, and send to another
[16:26] <takpar> i need help
[16:26] <takpar> help me
[16:26] <jrib> takpar: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[16:26] <ne2k> Hachya: I would hope most people here would be of the opinion that if someone wants to use Windows, let them use Windows. it's about choice.  Apple is worse. Open source is about choice, and freedom.
[16:26] <takpar> commond register nick ?
[16:26] <jrib> !register | takpar
[16:27] <ObrienDave> greets all
[16:27] <ne2k> krazykrivda: if the architecture and libc (and any other shared libraries) are the same, then you shouldn't have any problems. if not, you will need a cross-compilation toolchain.
[16:27] <takpar> cmd identify
[16:27] <takpar> ?
[16:27] <ne2k> takpar: stop that
[16:27] <oCean> takpar: join #freenode for help on using the network
[16:27] <Hachya> ne2k: wait, Apple's worse? XD
[16:27] <krazykrivda> ne2k: i'm trying to use gcc to compile a file for my phone :-\
[16:27] <Hachya> ne2k: even though I use them, I understand that to be true
[16:28] <ne2k> Hachya: I don't blame them, they're trying to run a business
[16:28] <jrib> craigbass1976: I would check to see if the issue hasn't been patched.  If not, open a bug.  If you need an immediate fix, grab the source package for the openssh package in a later ubuntu and build that
[16:28] <takpar> !register | takpar
[16:28] <escott> krazykrivda, its called cross-compiling. you should find plenty of docs on how to do that
[16:29] <ne2k> krazykrivda: it is unlikely, although not impossible, that your "phone" has the same architecture as your desktop
[16:29] <krazykrivda> escott: ok thanks.. as always
[16:29] <ne2k> krazykrivda: from bitter experience, I can tell you that by far the easiest way is to compile natively, if that is possible.
[16:29] <ne2k> krazykrivda: i.e. compile on the phone itself.
[16:29] <krazykrivda> ne2k: i don't even have gcc on the phone.. ha
[16:30] <ne2k> krazykrivda: what is "the phone" anyway?
[16:30] <Hachya> ne2k: yeah, one will find that when you lock ppl out of certain things, things tend to perform better, ie, when MS gets rid of the registry......ie never
[16:30] <oCean> Hachya: use #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion please
[16:31] <ne2k> oCean: it's hardly busy
[16:31] <oCean> ne2k: that's not the point
[16:31] <Guest7529> escott:
[16:31] <krazykrivda> ne2k: android.. Droid 3
[16:31] <Guest7529> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/661221/
[16:31] <ne2k> oCean: did you follow the conversation that ended up at that point?
[16:31] <IAmNotThatGuy> ne2k, I believe you dont want to get banned from here
[16:31] <krazykrivda> ne2k: android.. Droid 3
[16:32] <oCean> ne2k: It ended offtopic, so the offtopic will only continue in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:32] <Guest7529> escott: sorry for the delay, was unable to login to irc.....
[16:32] <ne2k> krazykrivda: can you not get a build environment for it?
[16:32] <krazykrivda> I'm sure I can..
[16:33] <escott> Guest7529, unclear why it is not working. open a terminal and try the following: "sudo mkdir /media/EXTDRIVE; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/EXTDRIVE; ls /media/EXTDRIVE"
[16:33] <temongantengbgt> any one know tools about add and drop foreign key in mysql on ubuntu with gui?
[16:33] <rrajbe> Hello friends, I installed mysql to install a local wordpress. But i forgot the password. Here is what i am getting.. any help lpease.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/661226/
[16:33] <rrajbe> @IAmNotThatGuy hey dude....
[16:33] <ne2k> krazykrivda: I would search around for either "android 3 native build" or "android 3 cross compile" and see which you reckon is easier
[16:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> hey rrajbe. Lemme look for ya
[16:34] <ne2k> krazykrivda: if you can get the cross-compiler working it will obviously be faster for bigger projects
[16:34] <escott> krazykrivda, for android most of what you compile is java/davlik. you shouldn't need to be using gcc (unless you are writing low level stuff)
[16:34] <Ralph124c> temongantengbgt: MySQL workbench
[16:34] <Guest7529> escott: I am booting in and out, could you please guide me what will be the next step, if that doesn't work, also i got a snapshot of the error message. How can i send it to you ?
[16:34] <krazykrivda> escott: still working on root.. so yeah.. low level kernel exploits
[16:34] <ne2k> krazykrivda: what are you actually trying to run on it?
[16:35] <krazykrivda> ne2k: http://lwn.net/Articles/419141/ looking in adapting this
[16:35] <skh_on1> Hi guys, how do you get your "taskbar" on natty to look like this?
[16:35] <escott> Guest7529, [repeating in case you missed it] unclear why it is not working. open a terminal and try the following: "sudo mkdir /media/EXTDRIVE; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/EXTDRIVE; ls /media/EXTDRIVE"
[16:35] <chriswr> idk if anyone will be able to help me because i dont know whats causeing the problem but i used to get this black screen crash with white text all the way down the screen but recently its been happening more and more , anyone have any ideas?
[16:35] <escott> Guest47990, and you can paste a screenshot
[16:35] <skh_on1> http://ubuntu-art.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/133892-1.jpg
[16:35] <IAmNotThatGuy> rrajbe, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset that will help ya dude =]

[16:36] <ne2k> krazykrivda: has that been plugged?
[16:36] <[HzF]Rocker> I'm getting tired of not being able to get the WIFI working, what to do?
[16:36] <IAmNotThatGuy> rrajbe, also http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/mysql-set-change-reset-root-password/
[16:36] <[HzF]Rocker> I have tried installing Wicd/Wcid but i get an error saying it couldn't be located. And i have no .wifi file
[16:36] <[HzF]Rocker> "sudo iwlist scan | head -n 20" shows wlan0 and some other data, I have tried "sudo modprobe -r ath9k; sleep 3; sudo modprobe ath9k"
[16:37] <temongantengbgt> Ralph124c: hem?? any link ? I try to search on ubuntu software center... but nothink found
[16:37] <[HzF]Rocker> dmesg gives: "(NETEDV_UP): wlan0 is not ready <line break> cfg80211: Found new beacon on freq. 2472Mhz (Ch 13) on phy0"
[16:37] <[HzF]Rocker> But the Connect button is greyed out, what to do?
[16:37] <krazykrivda> ne2k: we have an older kernel than mentioned there
[16:37] <rrajbe> thanks IAmNotThatGuy.. that solved the issue
[16:38] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, can you connect to an unprotected network. it could be a problem with wpa_supplicatnt
[16:38] <IAmNotThatGuy> good luck rrajbe =]
[16:38] <Ralph124c> temongantengbgt: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.2.html
[16:38] <rrajbe> :)
[16:38] <ne2k> krazykrivda: does it have econet?
[16:39] <krazykrivda> ne2k: I highly doubt
[16:39] <ne2k> krazykrivda: well then it won't work, will it?
[16:39] <Guest7529> escott: http://imagebin.org/166957
[16:39] <einseenai> guys, to can i install ubuntu if i have 4 primary partitions already? i have 3 for windows, restoration, etc., and 1 for opensuse which is located on the extended one. do i install ubuntu to the same extended partition, right?
[16:39] <krazykrivda> ne2k: no it will not.. but I'm tryuing to compile and see how it works.. I'm not sure how to check if device does have econet
[16:40] <rww> einseenai: yes, install it extended
[16:40] <escott> Guest15721, please do what the error message tells you and chkdsk the drive in windows. if you don't have a working windows system please don't use ntfs
[16:40] <ne2k> krazykrivda: it's not the device that needs to have it, it's the kernel. the kernel econet module needs to be loaded
[16:40] <szal> einseenai: primary partitions are not located on extended partitions; the extended partition _is_ a primary partition and holds virtual partitions
[16:40] <krazykrivda> ne2k: yes.. but I"m not sure hwo to check the kernel for the econet module
[16:40] <Ralph124c> einseenai: extended partition is fine - but you need to set up it's own logical partition.
[16:40] <AlexDevilLX> is takpak her?
[16:41] <szal> indeed, logical, not virtual
[16:41] <Guest7529> escott: did you see the dialogue ?
[16:41] <ne2k> krazykrivda: I guess modprobe econet; lsmod |grep econet; and see if it's there
[16:41] <[HzF]Rocker> escott: Attempt to connect to my neighbors wifi (No encryption) resulted in same problem as on my own wifi
[16:41] <escott> Guest7529, keep sending to the wrong Guest nick please do what the message tells you and chkdsk your drive in windows. if you dont have windows don't use ntfs
[16:42] <Guest7529> escott: yeap, i did run check disk, but no result found. 2nd option, have no idea what to do....
[16:42] <craigbass1976> jrib, where do I find out whether or not it's been patched?
[16:42] <dr_willis> Guest Nicks May want to select a actual Nick... via --->   /nick PickANick
[16:42] <AcidRain> so my cam is detected
[16:42] <ne2k> krazykrivda: obviously to do a real attack the kernel would need to autoload it for you, because you can't modprobe unless you're root
[16:42] <jrib> craigbass1976: read changelog/source code
[16:42] <einseenai> Ralph124c, thanks, will it be ok, if i just resize opensuse's one and make free space, and then use as target partition, right?
[16:42] <AcidRain> as "usb camera" as its iProduct
[16:42] <krazykrivda> ne2k: I would most likely need SU to run that
[16:43] <ne2k> krazykrivda: yes you'd need to be root to do the modprobe for the test to see if the econet module is available
[16:43] <krazykrivda> ne2k: mhmm.. so again, idk how to check the kernel for econet
[16:43] <ne2k> krazykrivda: can you not become root, then?
[16:43] <AcidRain> but Cheese is not detecting it
[16:43] <oCean> AcidRain: you're ubuntu version is not supported. You have to upgrade first.
[16:44] <ne2k> right, I gotta go
[16:44] <AcidRain> is ocean a bot?
[16:44] <krazykrivda> ne2k: not on the phone.. it is locked by motorola.. ths .c script i showed u is to achieve root
[16:44] <chriswr> has anyone experienced black screen crashes on ubuntu 11.04?
[16:44] <rabbit2> escott: i am now know as rabbit2
[16:44] <rww> AcidRain: no
[16:44] <escott> Guest7529, the ntfs driver doesn't like something about your ntfs filesystem. not a lot you can do. you can try and manually mount things with ntfs-3g drivers. you could also try turning off features of the fs in windows (i think shadow copies are a problem)
[16:44] <ne2k> krazykrivda: I guess just try it, then
[16:44] <Ralph124c> einseenai: Yes, but backup OpenSuse data first. Repartitioning without backup works MOST of the time.
[16:45] <[HzF]Rocker> escott: Attempt to connect to my neighbors wifi (No encryption) resulted in same problem as on my own wifi
[16:45] <p3rsist> Hi guys. Will DRBD replication work great with Ubuntu server 10.04?
[16:45] <ne2k> krazykrivda: you might be better off looking at reflashing the whole phone with your own OS, if you want a jailbroken phone
[16:45] <rabbit2> escott: ok, thanks a lot will try doing it... thanks for your time
[16:45] <krazykrivda> ne2k: bootloader is locked, and img flashes check for some sigs
[16:45] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, usually the atheros is well supported. im not sure what the problem could be. something about the frequencies legally allowed in your country? maybe?
[16:47] <einseenai> Ralph124c, ok, thanks a lot -). and how about bootloader? installer will install it anyway, won't it override my current one? it would be catastrophy... :-D
[16:47] <escott> krazykrivda, so much for motorola's promises
[16:47] <[HzF]Rocker> escott: the channel should be fine, it works with a Win9x/FreeBSD pc, a media center and some other things that is usually very cranky about the channels
[16:47] <krazykrivda> escott: i think their promise is to release late 3rd quarter this year
[16:47] <krazykrivda> so not quite there
[16:48] <krazykrivda> ne2k: and the link.. it mentions it is intentionally limited in scope, but seems as though it could be adjusted to not rely on econet
[16:48] <Ralph124c> einseenai: Bootloader shouldn't be a problem. Grub is grub - more or less. I'm quadbooting Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse and Slackware. That hasn't been issue yet. Other than a looooong boot list.
[16:50] <einseenai> Ralph124c, :-D yup. thanks a lot.
[16:51] <einseenai> ok, thx everybody
[16:55] <[HzF]Rocker> escott: Any idea? :/
[16:55] <wrongturn> im using 11.10 and software center closed unexpectedly is there something wrong with software center?
[16:56] <oCean> wrongturn: support for 11.10 in #ubuntu+1
[16:56] <jrib> !11.10 | wrongturn
[16:57] <wrongturn> jrib: i went there they gave me a list or other irc chats to go to lol
[16:57]  * [HzF]Rocker pokes the FloodBots
[16:57] <jrib> wrongturn: who said what exactly?
[16:58] <wrongturn> jrib: used !irc
[16:58] <jrib> wrongturn: ask your question in #ubuntu+1
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> wrongturn: more than likely there is something wrong with it. It's alpha software
[17:00] <designbybeck> In Compiz Windows Decorations... I'm trying to have all windows decorated except MPlayer:
[17:00] <designbybeck> i have: any & !title=MPlayer
[17:00] <designbybeck> but that isn't working... any suggestions?
[17:00] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, not really. the things i know to check are that the driver is correct and loaded, that rfkill is off, and that nothing in /etc is preventing network manager from managing the device (if you put stuff in some network related files network manager will yield to manual control) you could try and connect manually to see if that last bit is the problem
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: have you tried reloading compiz
[17:01] <escott> designbybeck, you might need to adjust your pattern matching. use xwininfo to verify the window title
[17:01] <designbybeck> yeah it is refreshing AcidRain
[17:01] <designbybeck> ActionParsnip,
[17:01] <designbybeck> I have gotten this to work before but I think i'm typing the wrong "window matching"
[17:01] <designbybeck> i can get it to turn off ALL decoration on all windows
[17:02] <[HzF]Rocker> escott the driver should be ok, it's loaded rfkill is off and about /etc i dunno
[17:02] <designbybeck> I'm not sure how to use xwininfo escott
[17:02] <escott> designbybeck, type it in a terminal and click on the window you want info about
[17:03] <designbybeck> that is correct "MPlayer"
[17:03] <samthewildone> My dad has an intel graphics card and was wondering if the mesa-* was the driver for the card by default
[17:03] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, perhaps someone else can help you manually attempt to connect. all i know is iwconfig, but i dont know the wpa_supplicant part of things
[17:04] <escott> samthewildone, should be. for more modern sandybridge best wait until 11.10
[17:04] <[HzF]Rocker> escott, ok
[17:04] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip: I'm stuck :/ - I couldn't install Wcid/Wicd - How can i connect manually ?
[17:05] <[HzF]Rocker> to the wifi*
[17:05] <samthewildone> escott: well thank you my good kingsman!
[17:05] <samthewildone> What's the best linux for that intel card ?
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> [HzF]Rocker: could try iwconfig
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> samthewildone: there is no best linux for an intel vga chip
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> [HzF]Rocker: are you fully updated?
[17:08] <designbybeck> LOL well crap... i get get all or nothing....
[17:08] <RA_drc> hello, i am trying to mount an SD card.  when i type "sudo mount /dev/sde /mnt/sdhc" i get an error: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type".  however, when i try "sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/sde /mnt/sdhc" or variations thereof, i get the error: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat32'".  what am i doing worng?
[17:08] <RA_drc> *wrong
[17:08] <designbybeck> but not just the MPlayer to NOT have windows decoration
[17:08] <[HzF]Rocker> ActionParsnip, i made a fresh install of latest ubuntu, and the iwconfig says ESSID:linksys - which is my neighbors wifi
[17:08] <phoque> RA_drc, it's vfat
[17:09] <genii-around> RA_drc: I think you want a partition number there and not the main drive designation... like sde1 and not just sde
[17:09] <AcidRain> man wtf
[17:09] <AcidRain> ok lets say i wanted to upgrade my box
[17:09] <AcidRain> my main concert is how do i backup my sql databases
[17:09] <C1iFF> Hi guys! had a problem updating to ubutu Lucid 64 and narrowed it down to 'nouvaou' not upgrading properly. it sends out error http://paste.ubuntu.com/661254/ in Synaptic when i try manually
[17:09] <alphanobody> hello all, quick questoin,  when ever i watch videos on ubuntu eversince i upgraded to 11.04 my videos  have black blocks on them and the time bar is all blacked out
[17:09] <alphanobody> on every site
[17:09] <alphanobody> i updated flash
[17:09] <alphanobody> works fine on my windows box
[17:09] <alphanobody> anyideas?
[17:09] <FloodBot1> alphanobody: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:10] <alphanobody> also when its paused it seems to show the whole picture
[17:10] <escott> alphanobody, its likely an issue with compiz and your graphics driver
[17:10] <urlin2u> alphanobody, install the firefox add on flash aid
[17:11] <alphanobody> dont have compiz andi didi just get a new grahp card, ill try flashaid first ty
[17:12] <datruth> where would the openvpn configuration files go?
[17:12] <AcidRain> ok so if i just copy the squirrelmail directory from my var/www and its sql entries, it should work after upgrade, right?
[17:12] <RetroMetro> urlin2u: Hi. The other day You gave me a link on a big Wubi thread. I just wanted to thank You.
[17:13] <glebihan> alphanobody, did you try different web browsers and do you get the same behaviour ?
[17:13] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, no problem.
[17:13] <alphanobody> not sure, ive only used firefox so far and i hope to use only FF
[17:13] <thegladiator> .join #linux
[17:13] <haipv> join #linux
[17:14] <urlin2u> alphanobody, try flash aid it fixes mo.st problems
[17:15] <alphanobody> amazing it works. Ty urlin2u
[17:15] <krazykrivda> escott: ne2k i realized it won't work
[17:16] <urlin2u> alphanobody, no problem.:)
[17:17] <AcidRain> im having to backup over 5 gigs of server files and 1.3 gigs of sql data just to get a web cam to work
[17:18] <AcidRain> lol
[17:18] <dbolser> I installed synaptiks, and I see "Drag items by taping the touchpad and then immediately touching it again" ... this seems to mean, 'immediatly moving the cursor'
[17:18] <AcidRain> well if im not back in 2 hrs. you know that ocean screwed me
[17:18] <dbolser> I find this really annoying, I just want to double click the title bar and then have it 'grabbed'
[17:19] <dbolser> that's the way it used to work
[17:19] <dbolser> it gives me about 1 ms to perform this gesture and its very annoying for resizing windowns
[17:19] <dbolser> windows
[17:19] <micols> the new ubuntu is finally using a more sane terminal background, instead of white , but F1 still annoys me bigtime , only function key that seems to be binded
[17:19] <C1iFF> anyone have ideas on my faulty upgrade posted earlier?? nouveau's always was a pain in the rear since it was introduced way back when, but now it seems impossible to update... it might b a repo problem, but I have no way to know w/o someone's help...
[17:19] <dbolser> how do I get the old 'double click and drag' behaviour?
[17:19] <micols> I have my screen(1) windows on F1-F12 , so F1 starts gnome help window lol
[17:20] <micols> but F2-F12 toggles my screens , mutt , irssi etc
[17:20] <micols> except for that it is impressive, everything just works, even apt .. no dependency problems ever
[17:20] <dbolser> you carefully lign up the cursor with the window edge, double click, then when you see the hand, drag
[17:20] <micols> all  my debian systems break with dependency problems
[17:21] <dbolser> now you have to move like some lunatic, ligning up, clicking and gesturing, lineing up, clicking and gesturing
[17:21] <dbolser> it's a real pain
[17:21] <micols> just installed 15 debian packages I downloaded without any dependency problems, and they all depended on each other
[17:21] <Luxe> Interesting.
[17:22] <sergio_> holas
[17:22] <dbolser> none of the touchpad configuration tools I've tried seem to help
[17:22] <dbolser> I can either turn off tap-n-drag, or turn on drag-lock, but I don't want either
[17:22] <RA_drc> phoque: thanks
[17:22] <RA_drc> genii-around: thanks
[17:22] <dbolser> I want it to work properly like it did before
[17:23] <dbolser> if anyone can help, I'll click on them with joy
[17:23] <escott> dbolser, do you just want to increase the timeout
[17:27] <RA_drc> does ubuntu not have an "unmount" command?
[17:27] <ekseniks> Hi guys, how do i get this "taskbar" http://ubuntu-art.org/CONTENT/content-pre2/133892-2.jpg
[17:27] <rumpe1> RA_drc, "umount"
[17:28] <ekseniks> or even just the name
[17:28] <RA_drc> rumpe1: thanks
[17:29] <ging4> im trying to play a movie and i get an error that says cannot read from resource... what should i do
[17:29] <rumpe1> RA_drc, if you are looking for a command, "apropos <string>" is always a good source for informations
[17:29] <aeon-ltd> ekseniks: heh that could be any dock, unless someone with extensive experience with docks can chime in :)
[17:29] <dbolser> escott: what timeout?
[17:30] <dbolser> I haven't seen any settings that look promising
[17:30] <ekseniks> meh, i'm just looking for any alternative to the Unity thing
[17:30] <BluesKaj> kde ?
[17:30] <dbolser> ekseniks: ubuntu-classic, no effects
[17:30] <escott> dbolser, you might be able to manipulate things with synclient
[17:30] <dbolser> escott: yeah
[17:30] <Simon____> can someone help me with a very strange problem?
[17:30] <ekseniks> dbolser, i tried that but they won't be shipping that with the next ubuntu :(
[17:31] <dbolser> ekseniks: swines
[17:31] <RA_drc> rumpe1: thanks
[17:31] <dbolser> escott: MaxTapMove?
[17:32] <dbolser> set to 58 - is that ms?
[17:32] <dbolser> feels right ;-)
[17:33] <ben__> Hi I have bought the Fujitsu T901 and now I have a problem whit the touch screen, the pen works fine but when I use me finger the mouse jumps back to te left top corner. any body an idea to solve this?
[17:34] <Simon____> i have a problem, I'm using ubuntu live on a usb stick with a persistent file system. now i have a couple of executable files in a folder. but when i try to run them from terminal, it says 'no such file or directory', while i can find them otherwise just fine
[17:35] <hwilde> Simon____, type   ls    in the terminal,  do you see the files?
[17:35] <Simon____> yeah
[17:35] <slide> Is there a way to edit a launcher in the unity bar? I need to add a flag to launch chrome
[17:35] <Simon____> i'm in the right directory
[17:35] <hwilde> Simon____, and you are trying to run them with   ./somefile
[17:35] <escott> Simon____, how are you trying to execute them, and is the folder they are in part of a partition that is mounted with noexev
[17:36] <mgolisch> it would say permission denied if it was on a noexec filesystem
[17:36] <Simon____> well there is another file in there that i can execute without any problems
[17:36] <hwilde> execute permissions?
[17:37] <Simon____> ls -lh says i do
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> slide: you can edit /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop    (might be a different name. Edit the Exec=     line and it will apply
[17:37] <slide> thanks
[17:37] <hwilde> Simon____, try making them executable and see
[17:38] <Simon____> hwilde how do i do that?
[17:38] <Simon____> chmod +x or something?
[17:38] <mgolisch> yeah
[17:38] <Simon____> because i already did that
[17:38] <slide> ActionParsnip, do i need to restart or something for that to take effect?
[17:38] <hwilde> Simon____,   chmod a+x  filename
[17:38] <dbolser> TapAndDragGesture       = 1
[17:39] <dbolser> is that 1ms ;-)
[17:39] <Simon____> i did that and didnt help
[17:39] <mgolisch> are those binary files or executable scripts?
[17:39] <Simon____> binary files
[17:39] <mgolisch> maybe check what file type they are using file
[17:40] <hwilde> dbolser, it's 1 or 0   like true/false
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> slide: no, should be fine
[17:40] <Simon____> mgolisch how do i do that?
[17:40] <mgolisch> like compare the output of file filename for the one its working and one of those not working
[17:41] <slide> oh wait the launcher disappeared from my unity bar hrm heh
[17:41] <dbolser> hwilde: but it isn't working
[17:41] <hwilde> dbolser, it should just say   "true"
[17:41] <dbolser> nothing else says true
[17:41] <dbolser> synclient
[17:41] <Simon____> fastboot = file that doesnt work: fastboot: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, not stripped
[17:42] <Simon____> revolutionary does work = revolutionary: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped
[17:42] <hwilde> dbolser,        Option "TapAndDragGesture" "boolean"
[17:42] <hwilde> dbolser, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man4/synaptics.4.html
[17:42] <AlexDevilLX> how to make samba share files without login
[17:42] <mgolisch> Simon____: maybe run ldd on the file that doenst work
[17:42] <[HzF]Rocker> EH? WHYu can't i set the name of the stick i installed ubuntu on ? - it still shows as "Install Ubuntu" - even tho i DID set the label earlier and i did restart the pc
[17:42] <mgolisch> might be due to unresolved shared objects
[17:43] <dbolser> meh, its not good
[17:43] <dbolser> somhow I need more time to drag
[17:43] <Simon____> ldd fastboot 	not a dynamic executable
[17:43] <dbolser> when using that gesture
[17:43] <mgolisch> i think i had a similar problem where it would say file not found where actualy it failed to load some 32bit shared object the file was linked ageinst
[17:44] <hwilde> [HzF]Rocker, maybe try set the label and then eject the drive so it writes all the changes
[17:44] <mgolisch> Simon____: what ubuntu version are you on?
[17:44] <hwilde> dbolser,          Option         "TapAndDragGesture"     "true" # Switch on/off the tap-and-drag gesture. The gesture is enabled by default.
[17:44] <Simon____> ubuntu live
[17:44] <Simon____> 10.04
[17:44] <Simon____> latest i guess
[17:45] <mgolisch> Simon____: install ia32-libs
[17:45] <rumpe1> Simon____, 10.04 means "month 4 year (20)10"
[17:45] <Penguin> anyone get the radeon driver to work?
[17:45] <escott> [HzF]Rocker, see if there is a file in the root of the filesystem that sets the label. i think macs do it that way
[17:46] <dbolser> hwilde: if I turn it off, I get no 'tap and drag' what so ever
[17:46] <Simon____> ah
[17:46] <Simon____> my bad
[17:46] <Simon____> its 11.04
[17:46] <Simon____> downloaded it today
[17:46] <dbolser> what I want is this 'double tap on window bar, mouse becomes a hand, then drag'
[17:46] <hwilde> dbolser, right, that's what turning off a feature does :)
[17:46] <dbolser> currently I've got 'tap and move cursor very quicky'
[17:47] <MrDave> is there a way to fix this?  gnome --panel No command 'gnome' found, did you mean:
[17:47] <dbolser> hwilde: turning it off gives me no dragging at all
[17:47] <Penguin> @dbolser You need to hold after the double tap... just saying
[17:47] <MrDave> i cant get my panel back
[17:47] <[HzF]Rocker> hwilde: it doesn't matter, it just refuses the name change
[17:47] <hwilde> [HzF]Rocker, you gotta be sudo
[17:47] <Penguin> @dbolser You need to hold after the double tap... just saying
[17:47] <hwilde> MrDave, you can apt-get install gnome-panel --reinstall
[17:48] <zec0> hi i got locked out of my main machine apparently because a mounted fs got stuck. now I can use ssh to send single commands to it but I can't start a shell, probably because the shell starting routine touches the dead mount or something
[17:48] <[HzF]Rocker> what?
[17:48] <MrDave> ty
[17:48] <dbolser> hwilde: is there perhaps some other setting that I need?
[17:48] <hwilde> [HzF]Rocker, you gotta be sudo to change the label of a filesystem
[17:48] <hwilde> dbolser, here is a page with all the options :)  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man4/synaptics.4.html
[17:48] <zec0> can someone help? I'm in IRC on a mobile phone so it's a bit difficult to follow the chat
[17:49] <rumpe1> zec0, the ssh-connect itself starts a shell
[17:49] <[HzF]Rocker> hwilde: i don't get it and i used Acronis Disc Director 10 on a windows pc to set the label
[17:49] <hwilde> dbolser,  look at        Option "LockedDrags" "boolean"
[17:50] <dbolser> hwilde: I don't want locked dragin
[17:50] <dbolser> hwilde: I don't want locked draging
[17:50] <hwilde> it sounds like you do
[17:50] <dbolser> no
[17:50] <edenjose> I have a problem with TAB key, not complete de command on ubuntu 11.04
[17:50] <[HzF]Rocker> It changed in the program, but when i reconnected the stick, it reset its' name
[17:50] <edenjose> please help mi.
[17:50] <hwilde> dbolser, that is specifically what you described
[17:50] <dbolser> hwilde: I specifically said I didn't want it
[17:50] <dbolser> hwilde: imagine the current tap and drag gesture, OK
[17:50] <dbolser> what I want is a bigger timeout between the second tab, and the 'movement'
[17:51] <dbolser> I just want to 'double tap' then 'move' to drag
[17:51] <hwilde> dbolser yeah that is called LockedDrags
[17:51] <dbolser> currently its more like 'double tap move very quick'
[17:51] <dbolser> hwilde: don't be a jerk, I tried it, it's not what I want
[17:51] <dbolser> hwilde: lemmy try again
[17:51] <[HzF]Rocker> how to become sudo ? - i'm the only user, so the account shouldn't be limited 0.o
[17:52] <Pici> !sudo | [HzF]Rocker you should take a look at this
[17:52] <zec0> rumpe1 is there a way to start a shell that doesn't touch the dead mount and thus gets stuck? tried moving .bashrc, no good
[17:52] <Penguin> @edenjose try under edit --> profile preferences
[17:52] <dbolser> hwilde: nope
[17:52] <hwilde> dbolser,        Option "SingleTapTimeout" "integer"
[17:52] <Penguin> I think there's an option threre somewhere
[17:52] <dbolser> hwilde: ahh... thank you very much
[17:53] <rumpe1> zec0, if you can send single commands, why not umount -f badbadfilesystem
[17:53] <MrDave> hwilde,ck. i did your comand, no luck.
[17:53] <rumpe1> zec0, are you sure, it's caused by a filesystem-error?
[17:53] <[HzF]Rocker> ubottu: ow
[17:53] <dbolser> hwilde: may I kiss you on the mouth?
[17:54] <dbolser> thanks so much
[17:54] <Penguin> rumpe1 & zec0 why not try a live boot and edit the mount files?
[17:54] <hwilde> no but you can read the man page next time @ dbolser
[17:54] <dbolser> hwilde: agreed
[17:54] <zec0> rumpe1 I have no superuser via ssh login, would have to be in the shell for sudo
[17:54] <dbolser> I thought it would be a specific option
[17:54] <Penguin> dbolser: pwned by hwilde
[17:54] <dbolser> hehe
[17:55] <MrDave> hwilde, any other ideers?
[17:55] <rumpe1> zec0, ? ... why wouldn't it work?
[17:55] <Penguin> http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page @ zec0 use to gain superuser privilegs on any filesystem
[17:55] <hwilde> edenjose, http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/28/turn-on-bash-smart-completion/
[17:55] <zec0> rumpe1 pretty sure it's a fs error because I can ls / but not ls /mount/badfs
[17:56] <zec0> rumpe1 (gets stuck)
[17:56] <hwilde> MrDave, are you sure you're using gnome?
[17:56] <MrDave> yea, im logged into unity2d as of now, but i should still be able to lauch panel
[17:57] <hwilde> MrDave, I don't think you can have gnome-panel in unity2d.
[17:57] <noahbanks> Can I get hlp printing from a Linux comppputer to a network printer connected to a Mac?
[17:57] <MrDave> hwilde, ok, all logout an in. thnx
[17:57] <Penguin> hwilde: confirmed, unity2d and panel don't mix
[17:57] <zec0> Penguin I don't want to restart the system if possible
[17:58] <Jcook_5xData> Does anyone else have a problem with Unity where the menu bar is show when a app goes full screen?
[17:58] <rumpe1> zec0, try 'ssh user@host "sudo -u username umount -f /mount/badfs"   '
[17:59] <lotuspsychje> anyone got an ssd 6g running on ubuntu?
[17:59] <Penguin> @zec0 sec, i'll look into it

[18:04] <rumpe1> zec0, well.. theres another trick on the net: ssh -t -t -t $host sudo -S command <<EOF<enter your password here>EOF     (-t -t -t forces the allocation of a tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty )
[18:04] <hwilde> lotuspsychje, sure why not?
[18:04] <acidrain> how do i get a trash can on my desktop?
[18:05] <lotuspsychje> hwilde: do you have one running?
[18:05] <hwilde> acidrain, log out, and change window managers, then log back in
[18:05] <urlin2u> lotuspsychje, should.
[18:05] <bigtom21485> acidrain: lemme guess...unity.
[18:05] <Trusardi> anyone uses psx? any segmentation faults lately?
[18:05] <acidrain> idk
[18:05] <acidrain> im so scared though
[18:05] <[HzF]Rocker> hwilde: not that place
[18:05] <bigtom21485> acidrain: i switched back from 11.04 to 10.10
[18:05] <dr_willis> acidrain,  you may want to go read up on some guides about using unity.
[18:05] <Trusardi> acidrain: breathe
[18:05] <larkc> adgjlĺjgda
[18:05] <hwilde> lotuspsychje, I have run on 160G SSD... I don't see why not 6.    I have run on 2G flashcards as well
[18:05] <acidrain> oCean lead me down the path of destruction
[18:05] <rumpe1> zec0, referenced link: http://www.shermann.name/2011/02/sudo-over-ssh-magic.html
[18:05] <larkc> holas
[18:06] <Trusardi> any psx problem redeemer? ;P
[18:06] <george5> hello, any terminal command to record pulseaudio ? thanks
[18:06] <BluesKaj> bigtom21485, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:06] <a-dot-aout> Acidrain: editing nautilus from gconf should place trash can on your desktop
[18:07] <bigtom21485> blueskaj: outstanding, thank you. it's been awhile and i couldnt rememeber what i did before :-)
[18:07] <[HzF]Rocker> dr_wills: i used Universal-USB-Installer on a windows pc, and then installed ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso on the stick
[18:07] <lotuspsychje> hwilde: i was reading about ssd 6G new technology..just wondering if someone had tested it
[18:07] <acidrain> changing to ubuntu classic was the best advice ive ever been given in my life
[18:07] <dejwit> help
[18:07] <hwilde> acidrain, do you have a question?
[18:07] <Pici> !ask | dejwit
[18:08] <[HzF]Rocker> dr_willis: i used Universal-USB-Installer on a windows pc, and then installed ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso on the stick
[18:08] <CrustyBarnacle> Anyone had a new login just appear? ("fidonet" on  my system)
[18:08] <george5> i have tried    pacat --volume=32768 --format=s16ne --channels=2 --rate=44100 -r -d alsa output.pci-0000_00_07.0.analog-stereo.monitor > /home/user/Desktop/pulsetest.wav and the files don't play
[18:08] <dr_willis> sort of decent unity 'manual' --->  http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-effort-at-writing-help-for-unity.html
[18:09] <zaklucheni> hey, is there chance i can install jaunty off shipped live cd, on 50Mb RAM laptop, booting stops on APIC blabla, and Loading...
[18:09] <hwilde> CrustyBarnacle, fidonet is a classic virus name.
[18:09] <zaklucheni> teknikaly "hangs"
[18:09] <lotuspsychje> hwilde: did you bought your ssd slc or mlc?
[18:09] <Pici> CrustyBarnacle: Are you sure that you didn't install any packages recently that may have created it?
[18:09] <CrustyBarnacle> hwilde: :-(....So, a reinstall?
[18:10] <hwilde> CrustyBarnacle, you can try some utilities like    rkhunter
[18:10] <dr_willis> FidoNet is a worldwide computer network that is used for communication between bulletin board systems. It was most popular in the early to mid 1990s,
[18:10] <vikram> hiii guise  i wanna learn linux kernel can anyone suggest me a good book ...... ( practical based )
[18:10] <dr_willis> CrustyBarnacle,  sounds like you may have installed a bbs...
[18:10] <Pici> CrustyBarnacle: apt-cache search fidonet   brings up a number of packages, perhaps something you installed brought one of those in as a dependency.
[18:10] <chamunks> is there any way to get Rsync to speed up with its file list generation?
[18:10] <CrustyBarnacle> Thank you all!!!
[18:10] <dr_willis> I dont recall a fidonet 'virus' :) but i do recall using fidonet years ago
[18:11] <hwilde> vikram,  anything from the o'reilly  "in a nutshell"  series
[18:11] <zaklucheni> I now it's 11.04 now, but jaunty came to me through long way of passed on..
[18:11] <[HzF]Rocker> Help? - I still got no clue how to access the root of the usb stick
[18:11] <acidrain> what is the option in preferences to make all my windows wavy
[18:11] <acidrain> when i grab them
[18:11] <rumpe1> zaklucheni, don't think so. Use some smaller distributions. Much smaller.
[18:11] <Random832> how do i set it so that - in a virtualbox guest - ubuntu will pick up the correct time when the virtualbox host wakes up from hibernation?
[18:11] <hwilde> [HzF]Rocker, nobody understands what you are asking dude
[18:11] <Dynetrax> acidrain, check your compiz config settings for wobbly windows
[18:11] <vikram> im a newbi .... i haven't read any book yet
[18:12] <acidrain> whoah. slow down dude.
[18:12] <hwilde> lotuspsychje, I dunno if it was slc or mlc
[18:12] <zaklucheni> rumpe1, but XP is running slowly, pin ball playable, prince4d too!
[18:12] <dr_willis> [HzF]Rocker,  if you mean the vfat partition of the flash drive. you can mount it to whever you want. You would see the  iso file and some o ther files there..  'mount' may show it mounted someplace allready
[18:12] <acidrain> i just made a terrible "upgrade" choice. and i cant find anything
[18:12] <dr_willis> !ccsm | acidrain
[18:12] <thechef> How can I disable 3rd-mouse button emulation forever?
[18:12] <vikram> thanks hwild
[18:12] <[HzF]Rocker> Linux is installed on a FAT32 usb stick, and in the space that was left i put a file but since i can't reach the root of that device, i can't access the file
[18:12] <dr_willis> wavy windows.. makes you so much more productive acidrain ...
[18:13] <Dynetrax> acirdrain install a package called simple-ccsm
[18:13] <acidrain> dr_willis: i cant live without wavy windows
[18:13] <Dynetrax> you will be able to customize things without getting lost lol
[18:13] <dr_willis> acidrain,  be a manly man and full screen all the apps and alt-tab.....
[18:13] <acidrain> omg
[18:13] <vikram> can i see the each sector of my flash drive ?
[18:13] <acidrain> aptitude not found.
[18:14] <Pici> acidrain: aptitude isn't installed by default, use apt-get
[18:14] <dr_willis> acidrain,  so?
[18:14] <Dynetrax> apt-get acidrain
[18:15] <escott> vikram, if you are curios about the filesystem structure you can just cat the device to a file and inspect the file. you need root access to read the raw device
[18:16] <acidrain>  Depends: compizconfig-settings-manager (>= 0.8.2) but it is not going to be installed
[18:16] <acidrain> i just installed that... and it says its not installed...
[18:17] <vikram> @escott : sorry , i could not get you ..... will you plz give me command or reference .....
[18:17] <dr_willis> acidrain,  done a sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade   recently?
[18:18] <acidrain> dr_willis: man im sry. im just freakin out. i am forgetting my life as we know it
[18:18] <escott> vikram, sudo cat /dev/sdb > raw_disk_image.img
[18:18] <juninhomachado> Anyone have an invitation from Google to give me +?
[18:18] <Trusardi> google is evil ;)
[18:18] <juninhomachado> Anyone have an invitation from Google+ to give me?
[18:18] <Trusardi> try ddg.gg
[18:18] <Pici> !ot | juninhomachado
[18:18] <xangua> !ot | juninhomachado
[18:19] <a-dot-out> how can i tweek my application to go fullscreen
[18:19] <Trusardi> ddg.gg is the best search engine out there (ot sorry)
[18:19] <dr_willis> a-dot-out,  thats a little vague
[18:19] <acidrain> i cant tell if 11.04 is faster or not
[18:19] <giraffy> Plz help. I cannot format my second hard drive. The message I get is that the device is busy, however the drive was never mounted. How do I get the disk to show as not busy so I can format it.
[18:20] <Escherial> hey, kind of a long shot, but do you think it'd be feasible to somehow run my windows installation on the other partition inside of ubuntu?
[18:20] <dr_willis> giraffy,  what fs do you want to format it to? whats on it now?
[18:20] <Escherial> i'm thinking of using virtualbox to do it, perhaps, but i'm not sure where to start or if it's even feasible :\
[18:20] <giraffy> I want to format to xfs, there is no file system on it now.
[18:20] <[HzF]Rocker> I suspect my file is located in /root - but i can't gain root permissions - But i never set a password...
[18:20] <hwilde> Escherial, you can install a windows vm with virtualbox, but it's almost impossible to get it to use an existing partition
[18:21] <hwilde> [HzF]Rocker, are you asking where is the persistent storage an a live usb stick?
[18:21] <[HzF]Rocker> i think so
[18:21] <Escherial> hwilde: ah, good to know...i just found an article to the same effect, something about how the kernel and drivers configured at installation become specific to the hardware
[18:21]  * [HzF]Rocker kicks FloodBot2 in the crunch
[18:21] <dr_willis> giraffy,  you mean its not partitioned? you will need to partition it. then you can use sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/sdXX  as needed
[18:21] <Dynetrax> Escherial you could install virtualbox in ubuntu and create a virtual machine that boots from the windows partition
[18:22] <Escherial> Dynetrax: right, that's what i was thinking about doing, but sadly it's not cut and dry
[18:22] <hwilde> Escherial, i've setup many virtualboxes from scratch and it's simple.  i've tried for a few hours to get it to use an existing partition and never got it
[18:22] <Dulak> Escherial: you can use wine and run many apps from a live ntfs partition
[18:22] <zaklucheni> IO APIC resources could be not allocated; Loading please wait... that's a result inserting jaunty on 50Mb RAM
[18:23] <a-dot-out> #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:23] <Escherial> meh, my only concern is that i have a single-user license for my windows installation. i'm not sure how that applies to having virtual machines running on the same box.
[18:23] <Dulak> Escherial: I play wow and ddo both off my windows partition while I'm booted into linux.
[18:23]  * [HzF]Rocker bites FloodBot1
[18:23] <Pici> [HzF]Rocker: Can you stop that?
[18:24] <zykotick9> hwilde, Escherial KVM can boot physical partitions quite easily
[18:24] <Dynetrax> Dulak you're running ubuntu?
[18:24] <Escherial> Dulak: using wine, huh? :) yeah, i use wine for a few things (ragnarok online, for one), but it'd be nice to have access to my windows installation as though it were booted (i.e. with the window manager, etc. available), so i'll continue to look into vming it
[18:24] <[HzF]Rocker> What else should i take out my frustrations on? :P
[18:24] <kevin> I have my caps lock remapped to meta (via xmodmap) but something keeps 'switching it back' while I'm logged in after an unknown number of minutes, any ideas?
[18:24] <Escherial> zykotick9: KVM? like a keyboard-video-monitor switch? wouldn't i need two machines running for that?
[18:24] <Dulak> Dynetrax: yes, I run 10.04
[18:25] <zykotick9> Escherial, ;) Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM)
[18:25] <giraffy> dr_willis, OK, here's the deal. I've already formatted one partition on this 3T drive by putting it in an external drive box. The box can't recognize anything over 2T, so I partitioned it using my Gentoo laptop. I did this b/c I COULDn't get the Ubuntu to partition this thing with fdisk or gparted. In gparted, the message says the drive is busy. Tried umount although never mounted. Message: not mounted. What is Ubuntu doing that mak
[18:25] <giraffy> es this drive look busy?
[18:25] <Dynetrax> did you install 10.04 from alternate iso? or regular ubuntu desktop dulak
[18:25] <Dulak> Escherial: umm wine explorer.exe /path/to/windows/mount/point
[18:25] <Escherial> zykotick9: ah, heh, that makes a ton more sense :3
[18:25] <vikram> @escott .....  sudo cat /dev/sdb > raw_disk_image.img .... is still working , how much time it will take ?
[18:25] <zykotick9> Escherial, your CPU must support virtualization to use KVM
[18:25] <hwilde> vikram, no no use dd
[18:26] <[HzF]Rocker> hwilde: where is that "other storage" ?
[18:26] <tacit> vikram: If you send SIGUSR1 to dd you'll get a status printed.
[18:26] <Dulak> Dynetrax: just the normal iso, I am using the wine 1.3 ppa repo though for wine.
[18:26] <escott> giraffy, you should try using gdisk i your version of gparted is too old to handle gpt tables
[18:26] <Dynetrax> Dulak: How does wow run when you run it like that?
[18:27] <giraffy> That's the external box that cant recognize the 3T. dont want to spend $80 just to partition this thing and then put in the Ubuntu. btw, tried just formating w/ext3. Doent matter
[18:27] <hwilde> could someone please tell [HzF]Rocker where is the persistent storage located on a liveusb stick
[18:27] <Dulak> Dynetrax: not as well as natively booted to windows, but it's very playable.  I wouldn't raid under linux.
[18:27] <Escherial> zykotick9: hmm, i have a core i5 in this machine, so perhaps it's possible? :D
[18:27] <escott> vikram, depends on how big that disk is. you are copying the entire contents of that fs to a file, failed to mention that you probably want to umount that partition prior to running that command
[18:27] <zykotick9> Escherial, i haven't used Windows in close to 10 years so really don't know how they work/perform in KVM in that manner, but it worked pretty well with Linux Dual boot installs.
[18:27] <hwilde> vikram, you want to use the command "dd"
[18:27] <zaklucheni> now i see, SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0xXXXXX
[18:27] <giraffy> No, the gparted will do gpt tables, so I cd have used that.
[18:28] <safire_> is there anyway to make a symlink to a file that doesn't yet, but will later?
[18:28] <Escherial> zykotick9: no problem; thanks for the idea. seems promising :)
[18:28] <escott> safire_, yes. you should be able to force it (or you could touch the file, create the symlink then remove the symlink) it is known as a broken symlink
[18:28] <Dynetrax> Dulak: I want to install 11.04 but i really dont like unity and was thinking of just going for debian, would there be a way to install 11.04 without unity? like at all lol
[18:29] <hwilde> Dynetrax, just logout and change wm
[18:29] <lilcyber> Hey
[18:29] <xangua> !classic | Dynetrax
[18:29] <xangua> there are also xubuntu. lubuntu, kubuntu
[18:29] <vikram> how to use dd command .....its 4 gb pendrive /dev/sdb
[18:29] <vikram> i wanna see its boot sector
[18:29] <hwilde> !dd | vikram
[18:30] <Dynetrax> I mean is there any way at all to get Ubuntu 11.04 bare bones no stock packages and build it up like you can with debian?
[18:30] <zaklucheni> and, SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, bock and fragment cache block ...
[18:30] <hwilde> Dynetrax, what would be the point of this?
[18:30] <Pici> !minimal | Dynetrax
[18:30] <safire_> escott: can you explain this http://pastebin.com/Zb4QTytx
[18:30] <zykotick9> Escherial, a screenshot of 7 KVM dual boot "VMs" in action https://plus.google.com/115403891429547707849/posts/1VuHdVVzCn7
[18:30] <safire_> nevermind
[18:30] <safire_> retarded, didn't see the typo for weeks
[18:30] <safire_> ;p
[18:30] <Dynetrax> thanks pici
[18:31] <Anmol> how to get fork function definition?
[18:31] <safire_> I thought there was some clever trick I was missing
[18:31] <acidrain> there are hax upon this ssystem
[18:31] <acidrain> this is obvious
[18:31] <Dulak> Dynetrax: yes I have done that before, it's a pain in the butt, but doable. There is a ubuntu net install iso somewhere or other
[18:31] <Escherial> zykotick9: neat :D
[18:31] <giraffy> I didnt know about the gpt tables until I researched last week. Wd like to reformat the whole thing but I still have this pbm of ubuntu saying the drive is busy. Said the same thing about a 16g thumbdrive I wanted to format to ext3, but that I cd put in the Gentoo laptop and format. What is going on with the Ubuntu? Cant find a solution by googling at all.
[18:31] <vikram> what ! dd | vikram means ?
[18:31] <escott> vikram, dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sdb of=mbr_only.img to copy a single block of 512 bytes. see man dd
[18:31] <[HzF]Rocker> where is that persistant storage on a linux live cd ? (it's put on a usb stick, and the persistant storage dont show in Computer)
[18:32] <vikram> thanks
[18:32] <Dynetrax> Dulak, well I've install Arch linux many times so couldnt be any more tedious
[18:32] <Dynetrax> lol
[18:33] <Dulak> In comparison to just using the normal iso it's not fun, but in comparison to arch it's probably a walk in the park.
[18:33] <dr_willis> giraffy,  personally, id grab a gparted live cd, and use it to partiton the drive.. i use it for all my hd work like that.
[18:34] <escott> safire_, can you confirm that folder exists in /etc?
[18:35] <zaklucheni> Pici, thanks for link, i didn't know about alternate install there
[18:35] <Pici> zaklucheni: no problem
[18:35] <jeffield> what is a good git gui client to use..?
[18:35] <giraffy> dr_willis: OK, I'll try that, thanks. If anyone knows why this is a pbm, wd like to know solution. It's one of those things that make it hard to move to Ubuntu on all systems. Thanks again.
[18:36] <rawfodog> how do I open a terminal window from the folder I am looking at in Nautilus ?
[18:36] <stealz> can anyone tell me how to further customize the login window in ubuntu 10.04? I only found the option to enable the Appearance manager, but I want to make the Window Background transparent, so you can only see the login input field and username
[18:36] <improveupon> can anyone recommend either a visual traceroute program or a site you can go to and view the locations of nodes?
[18:36] <dr_willis> giraffy,  i cant even think of the any time ive repartioned a 3TB hd.. i have 2 of them. but they are NTFS-external USB.  so havent really needed to mess with it. yet.
[18:36] <zykotick9> rawfodog, install nautilus-open-terminal then it's an option in right click
[18:36] <xangua> rawfodog: there is a plugin for nautilus called open therminal here, or something like that
[18:36] <xangua> oh that is :D
[18:37] <safire_> escott: it doesn't, didn't see the typo
[18:37] <pwnty> Hey, I have win7 and ubuntu installed on my pc, how do I remove the windows completely and give all the space for ubuntu?
[18:37] <escott> giraffy, i would highly recommend at least looking at the partition tables with gdisk. i find that gparted doesn't tell me what is going on if there are multiple partition tables on the disk
[18:38] <vikram> how to open that .img file ???
[18:38] <oCean> stealz: transparant? Why not use your desktop background as background in login window?
[18:38] <giraffy> dr_willis: I might have thought it was just the 3T, but I had the same problem when reformatting the thumbdrive, the "busy" message.
[18:38] <chamunks> why does it seem that transferring data via ssh that there is a cap of 3mBps
[18:38] <escott> safire_, neither did i... but it was the only thing you didnt test
[18:38] <escott> vikram, a hex editor
[18:38] <giraffy> escott: I can try that.   Maybe you are a bot...
[18:40] <oCean> stealz: oh but it is possible to actually change the background
[18:40] <Dynetrax> Pici = Cleverbot? O_o
[18:40] <chamunks> Pici, well either way I love seeing someone get pwnt for being an ass.
[18:40] <edbian> ubottu, do you think Pici is a bot ?
[18:40] <Dynetrax> lol
[18:40] <escott> giraffy, fdisk doesn't know anything about gpt as far as i can tell. gdisk understands both and can deal with hybrid partition tables
[18:41] <dr_willis> #ubuntu+1
[18:41] <escott> giraffy, parted/gparted knows about both, but doesn't do a good job exposing the complexities of hybrids
[18:41] <chamunks> Any ideas as to why my ssh transfers are running so slowly over a gigabit lan?
[18:41] <stealz> ocean, how?
[18:41] <escott> giraffy, if you find it is a hybrid partition table check rodsbooks.com for some excellent documentation
[18:41] <Myrtti> chamunks: because encryption happens too
[18:42] <__Alex_> Is there a way to remove the ugly Thick Ubuntu bar from the Default install of Ubuntu?
[18:42] <chamunks> Myrtti, hmm but both computers are fairly high end machines.
[18:42] <oCean> stealz: 10.04 right?
[18:42] <bsdunix> chamunks: ftp is king for speed if you're doing lots of transfers, it might be worth setting up
[18:42] <seanmc98> hello, is there a way to click a certain icona nd it will go straight to you r desktop without having to minimize all open programs? like in windows, you click it and it shows desktop
[18:43] <chamunks> bsdunix, do you think that I could rsync over ftp?
[18:43] <stealz> oCean, to make myself clear: I have something like this: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SEbMh2ospl8/TX9sgmvgZ2I/AAAAAAAAAgg/U8zAp-n2isg/s1600/Ubuntu-login-screen.jpg and I want it to look more like this:  http://slim.berlios.de/themes/slim-lake.jpg
[18:43] <urlin2u> __Alex_, try the classic desktop, the left panel can only be reduced in width.
[18:43] <stealz> oCean, yes
[18:43] <Myrtti> chamunks: it still isn't instantaneous. if you're in a LAN and don't have to worry about file encryption, try some other method like ftp, samba or nfs
[18:43] <stealz> oCean, I already changed what would be the desktop wallpaper
[18:43] <bsdunix> chamunks: not sure how to implement that
[18:43] <Dynetrax> seanmc98 theres a way to do it with KDE but i dunno if you're using KDE
[18:44] <giraffy> escott: thanks, I'm downloading gparted iso right now, will check out rodsbook.com and then will probably try gdisk first to see if it can bypass this "busy" stuff. Thanks for the info.
[18:44] <stealz> oCean, I want the login window where you enter your info be transparent, except for the button where you select the user and the input box
[18:44] <chamunks> bsdunix, because as far as I know rsync is by far the best method of copying something with any sort of assurances that your data is intact.
[18:44] <oCean> stealz: aah, the actual loginbox
[18:44] <stealz> oCean, yes
[18:44] <chamunks> Myrtti, I'd like to use ftp but still would like the precision of rsync.
[18:45] <bsdunix> chamunks: you're correct there about rsync, i'd just use that
[18:45] <zykotick9> stealz, just so there is no confusion, that berlios screen cap is using a different DM called Slim, not GDM
[18:45] <oCean> stealz: ok, sorry, don't know about that. And haven't a 10.04 available to try
[18:45] <stealz> zykes-, I know
[18:45] <seanmc98> Dynetrax, im using basic 11.04 with unity
[18:45] <pratz> hey guys, want to connect to my friends computer through ssh, even he is using ubuntu, i use ssh friend_username@ip_address , is that correct ??
[18:45] <escott> chamunks, you can use rsync over rsync protocol (unencrypted)
[18:45] <Dynetrax> I wouldnt know how to do what you're asking ith unity. I dont use unity
[18:45] <stealz> I was just thinking it should be possible to just make the window background transparent, didnt want to install a different login manager for that
[18:45] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi all! I need help with something... Id rathe not reformat/reinstall my computer from scrats.... heres what I did:
[18:45] <pratz> ip_address is external
[18:45] <Pici> pratz: Yes, your friend will need to make sure that they are forwarding port 22 from their router to their computer though.
[18:46] <chamunks> bsdunix, escott seems to have mentioned something of interest thanks for your attention to my issue :)
[18:46] <stealz> oCean, thanks anyways
[18:46] <stealz> zykotick9,  I was just thinking it should be possible to just make the window background transparent, didnt want to install a different login manager for that
[18:46] <chamunks> escott, hi again. Thanks for pointing this out I will  look into it some.
[18:46] <escott> chamunks, you just need to enable an rsync server on one of the machines
[18:46] <bsdunix> chamunks: my experience with rsync was that i could have it copy over only diff between endpoints and resume broken transfer and verify. lovely stuff, indeed. try scp yet?
[18:46] <pratz> Pici: but when i try to connect , i get no route to host
[18:46] <NorthByNorthWest> I ran a "chown root -R /usr"
[18:46] <NorthByNorthWest> (Did I just hear the comlete linux community face slap itself....?)
[18:46] <NorthByNorthWest> Dont ask me why... I was young and careless...
[18:46] <NorthByNorthWest> Please... can I fix this without reinstalling everything???
[18:46] <FloodBot1> NorthByNorthWest: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:47] <seanmc98> Dynetrax, i want to try gnome but i know that you cant revert back to unity
[18:47] <Pici> pratz: Can you ping that address?
[18:47] <zykotick9> stealz, unfortunately GDM isn't very configurable these days, best of luck.  I certainly have no suggestions.
[18:47] <tomtiger11_> !hello
[18:47] <pratz> Pici: just hold on
[18:47] <chamunks> bsdunix, I just have some 500 gigs of very important data to be transferred from a harddrive that was in a bad computer.
[18:47] <pratz> Pici: no i can not ping the address
[18:47] <acidrain> .: 49: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars
[18:47] <acidrain> why?
[18:47] <chamunks> bsdunix, I really dont want to take any chances and I dont really care for the encryption overhead anyways.
[18:48] <acidrain> trying to restart
[18:48] <stealz> zykotick9, thanks. The Idea I had was to launch ccsm from the login screen, but that didnt work either. Gonna keep trying =)
[18:48] <giraffy> Still, I wonder if there's something different about how Ubuntu tries to mount stuff. Friends using slackware haven't had this problem. Isn't there a way to get Ubuntu to recognize that the disk isn't really busy, or is Ubuntu continuously trying to mount something that it can't mount?
[18:48] <Pici> pratz: That might be an issue, most of the time residential ISPs still allow pings to be sent. Perhaps you don't have the IP correct?
[18:48] <chamunks> escott, hmm I'm starting to think that I have no idea how to get started in using the rsync protocol
[18:48] <oCean> stealz: found this: https://answers.launchpad.net/gdm2setup/+question/101329  It seems not an easy task
[18:49] <escott> giraffy, once you unmount the partition nothing should mount it again until you hotplug the device
[18:49] <chamunks> escott, for the unencrypted transfer. do i need a daemon running on the target?
[18:49] <escott> chamunks, yes you would need to enable an rsync server
[18:50] <zykotick9> chamunks, rsync can use SSH for some things?  never used that method myself, but seen the option.
[18:50] <chamunks> escott, ok I may need to bug you again as I'm not really familiar with this sort of setup.
[18:50] <escott> chamunks, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync
[18:50] <giraffy> escott: This disk was never mounted. Just for luck, I gave the unmount command to /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2. Response: not mounted.
[18:50] <pratz> Pici: my friend visited whatsmyip.com and then gave me his ip address
[18:50] <pratz> Pici: then is that ip wrong ??
[18:50] <vikram> i got what i want ..... thanks guys
[18:50] <Pici> pratz: No, thats probably right.
[18:51] <giraffy> umount, obviously.
[18:51] <pratz> Pici: then what may be the issue ??
[18:51] <Dynetrax> pratz are you using the right port?
[18:51] <Pici> pratz: Are you getting the same 'no route to host' when you try to ping it?
[18:51] <escott> giraffy, you could try and lsof the files and see if anything  pops up
[18:52] <pratz> Pici: yes
[18:52] <bsdunix> chamunks: here is one of my history uses of rsync; #rsync -avrt --delete rsync://centos.mirrors.tds.net/CentOS/5/os/x86_64 \
[18:52] <chamunks> zykotick9, im targeting a ssh endpoint hence my issues but I think that escott has pointed out that if i learn how  to use the rsync daemon on my freenas box I can do this unencrypted.
[18:52] <pratz> Dynetrax: port 22 correct ??
[18:52] <zkam> quick question...  If I want to have a persistent, bootable Ubuntu disk on a 4GB drive, how much space will I need for the casper-rw file?
[18:52] <Pici> pratz: Can you ping anything else outside of your network on that computer?
[18:52] <Dynetrax> pratz is the computer you're trying to connect to behind a router?
[18:53] <vikram> if i got my friends ip address then what can i do ???
[18:53] <chamunks> bsdunix, that looks about right.
[18:54] <pratz> Dynetrax: no, we both are using WiBro connection
[18:54] <giraffy> escott: ok, thanks
[18:54] <pratz> Pici: yes i can ping google.com
[18:55] <chamunks> bsdunix, thank you for a good example now i just need to figure out how freenas handles rsync from the web gui.
[18:55] <Dynetrax> you're both on the same network then pratz?
[18:55] <pratz> Dynetrax: no ,we both are using same service providers service and the technology is wibro
[18:56] <pratz> Dynetrax: i am not that good at networking, but i know they are using wibro tech
[18:56] <zykotick9> chamunks, if you have a mount from your freenas box (samba/nfs) on your local machine, just use that mount for your rsync command...
[18:57] <zykotick9> chamunks, ie. your freenas box doensn't need any rsync support, just the file sharing it already uses
[18:58] <chamunks> zykotick9, hmm well i guess I could try that :P hmm ok well basically my understanding of it now is that rsync prefers unencrypted channels first.
[18:58] <chamunks> zykotick9, but it generally can aim for encrypted src/dest's
[18:59] <zykotick9> chamunks, i've never used rsync's "encrypted" options before, i've used rsync over ssh channels though.  I'm not sure what your asking exactly.  But rsync can be used to copy/move files around a local computer as well, i just consider it an advanced copy tool.
[18:59] <escott> chamunks, rsync is just a protocol for transmission of data, its rather agnostic regarding the channel. you tunnel it over ssh and you get overhead for ssh, you tunnel it over nfs/samba you get overhead there. the least overhead is to have to distinct rsync servers on the different machines
[19:00] <seanmc98> lol ubuntu in a virtual box oon ubuntu
[19:00] <Dynetrax> Would i have to have a spotify premium account to run the spotify linux client??
[19:00] <Myrtti> Dynetrax: yup
[19:00] <Dynetrax> lol i installed windows 2000 inside windows xp inside windows 7 once, just out of boredom
[19:00] <Myrtti> Dynetrax: windows client runs in wine fine, too, though
[19:01] <pratz> Dynetrax: Pici any idea guys ??
[19:01] <Dynetrax> Pratz i wouldnt know what to do with a wibro connection, never fiddled with that kinda networking
[19:01] <Dynetrax> i'd say try a different remote connection protocol?
[19:02] <pratz> Dynetrax: but i can ping all other ip
[19:02] <seanmc98> Dynetrax, thats like super inception
[19:02] <Dynetrax> lol
[19:02] <chamunks> zykotick9, my problem currently is that I'm usually experiencing painfully slow (3mBps) xfers over my gigabit lan
[19:02] <Pici> pratz: Does the ip that your friend gave you match what you see when you go to whatismyip.com or ipchicken.com ?
[19:02] <silverarrow> any mac-linux people here?
[19:03] <pratz> Pici: no my ip is different
[19:03] <silverarrow> is there a way to burn iso on a mac?
[19:03] <noneabove> hey guys, i messed something up with my ubuntu partition a bit ago and was wondering how i can COMPLETELY uninstall so that i can reinstall fresh, because it seems every time i reinstall using the uninstall-wubi.exe and then wubi.exe again, the same problem comes back
[19:03] <pratz> Pici: my friend has visited whatismyip.com and he sent me his ip address
[19:03] <chamunks> escott, exellent well I've found a decent tutorial on FreeNAS 's rsync server so now I just need to point the destination at my target module.
[19:03] <silverarrow> gparted, erase and formate
[19:04] <noneabove> silverarrow, was that to me ?
[19:04] <NS_tech> what does this mean?  :sprocket is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[19:04] <silverarrow> noneabove, sorry yes
[19:04] <bsdunix> chamunks: that's too slow for overhead of encryption to account. you have some major bottleneck elsewhere, provided your definition of fast machines is as i assume...
[19:04] <NS_tech> i am sprocket  and im trying to do s sudo apt get
[19:04] <Myrtti> NS_tech: it means you don't have permission to run sudo
[19:04] <NS_tech> i used to
[19:04] <noneabove> silverarrow, whhats this gparted thing? can you go a bit more step by step or give me a guide to follow ?
[19:04] <escott> NS_tech, sprocket is not in the admin group. only the admin group is allowed to sudo
[19:04] <NS_tech> ok
[19:04] <Pici> pratz: I'm not sure what to suggest then.
[19:05] <NS_tech> how do i get back in the admin group
[19:05] <pratz> Pici: but  that is the standard way , right ??
[19:05] <Pici> pratz: Yes, it is.  I suspect something else is going on, perhaps your provider has done something weird.
[19:06] <chamunks> bsdunix, well my main box is a 6core amd 3.7ghz and the freenas box is my old quad core 3ghz and its all pushed over gigabit lan my smb xfers can handle sometimes upto 50mBps
[19:06] <bsdunix> chamunks: army artilley labs made a small c code server/client throughput metrix gathering tool. maybe search for it. quite handy for identifying bottlenecks
[19:06] <NS_tech> how do i get back in the admin group?
[19:06] <noneabove> silverarrow ?
[19:06] <escott> NS_tech, add yourself to the admin account with a user who is a member. if this is your only user boot the livecd chroot in as root and add yourself there
[19:07] <silverarrow> noneabove, gparted is a partitioning tool, it is there in the live CDs on Ubuntu and Linux, but can be downloaded an burned for separate boot up cd too
[19:07] <pratz> Pici: no i try to ssh , i am getting destination host unreachable
[19:07] <zykotick9> NS_tech, if you type "groups" in a terminal, does it show admin?
[19:07] <chamunks> bsdunix, I really dont know where to begin looking for that tool :S
[19:07] <yosuke> hi guys
[19:07] <tomtiger11_> test
[19:07] <NS_tech> no i lost all my user groups i used to have
[19:07] <chamunks> bsdunix, http://www.google.ca/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=army+artilley+labs+bottleneck+identifying+tool#hl=en&sa=X&ei=1zNATt6JHM_FsQKhkoE2&ved=0CBkQvwUoAQ&q=army+artillery+labs+bottleneck+identifying+tool&spell=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=9eeecae9766a8360&biw=760&bih=825 is basically what I ended up with.
[19:07] <pratz> Pici: any idea i am getting distination host unreachable
[19:07] <Pici> pratz: Thats better than no route to host.  Are your use that your friend's ssh server is running and is running on port 22? And that they've forwarded the proper port?
[19:08] <noneabove> silverarrow, i can use that even if i used the "install on windows" thing ?
[19:08] <NS_tech> i must have accedentally removed them when ai added myself to the vboxsf group
[19:08] <tomtiger11_> !test
[19:08] <ubnotu2> tomtiger11_, are you testing something?
[19:08] <chamunks> bsdunix, sorry for the ugly link google is apparently bad for that.
[19:08] <silverarrow> noneabove, yes
[19:08] <silverarrow> noneabove, but you might have to fuzz a bit with grub
[19:08] <yosuke> how can i make my nautilus open with different tabs ?
[19:08] <escott> NS_tech, be careful when using usermod and always use the -a option. assuming this is your only user you need to chroot in
[19:08] <oCean> tomtiger11_: remove that bot
[19:08] <zykotick9> NS_tech, try logging into "recovery mode" from Grub - then re-add your user to proper groups.  Oh and learn to add users to groups properly ;)
[19:08] <noneabove> silverarow, and theres no other way with wubi? just want to make sure before i go out and find my usb or a cd haha
[19:09] <pratz> Pici: how to check if he has forwarded the proper port ??
[19:09] <Pici> pratz: You need to ask him.
[19:09] <NS_tech> thanks  ill try the recovery mode
[19:09] <pratz> Pici: i am afraid he is not that technical guy
[19:10] <silverarrow> noneabove, there might be, do you have a windows recovery cd? At least it can erase and reformate with ntfs file system
[19:10] <oCean> tomtiger11_: thanks
[19:10] <escott> NS_tech, you will also want to add yourself to plugdev cdrom sambashare  lpadmin (dialout adm) not sure what the last two do
[19:10] <pratz> Pici: how do i restart ssh server on my computer ??
[19:10] <NS_tech> ok,  how do i log in in recovery mode?
[19:10] <Pici> pratz: sudo service ssh restart
[19:10] <seanmc98> !test
[19:11] <Luca_Peck> .
[19:11] <zykotick9> NS_tech, do you see grub menu?  if not, hold shift while booting.
[19:11] <noneabove> silverarrow, well i mean ive been able to uninstall it using wubi but for some reason every time i reinstall the same problem comes back (it gets stuck in boot up once in awhile, then when i install the driver for my graphics card it says i can no longer use unity)
[19:11] <escott> NS_tech, reboot and select it from the grub menu. if your grub menu doesnt appear you have to press and hold some key not sure which
[19:11] <NS_tech> oh yeah
[19:11] <zykotick9> escott, shift for grub2
[19:12] <silverarrow> noneabove, hmm, I'm not shore why you get that
[19:12] <silverarrow> noneabove, though I have had similar happen to me
[19:12] <pratz> Pici: when i ping to my friends ip i get destination host unreachable , any ideas ??
[19:13] <Pici> pratz: Its possible that they're blocking ICMP packets.
[19:13] <stealz> oCean, just saw the link you posted me
[19:13] <NS_tech> i held the shift key and it said loadign grub   but no menu came up
[19:13] <escott> pratz, it may not be a global ip address. if it is 127.0.* then it is behind a nat and not a global ip
[19:13] <stealz> oCean, seems helpful, but as you said, not an easy task
[19:13] <stealz> oCean, thanks a lot
[19:13] <bsdunix> chamunks: ttcp is what i was referring to. sorry
[19:13] <noneabove> silverarrow, yea it was all fine until i tried to install more drivers from my graphics card the other day because i have a switchable graphics card so i wanted it using the good one, then all of a sudden it switched out of unity, and then when i reinstalled it gets stuck on a boot screen after i do the updates (like when you install and run first time theres updates it asks you to install)
[19:13] <pratz> escott: what does that exactly mean
[19:13] <NS_tech> got it
[19:14] <pratz> Pici: escott both mine and my friends ip address start from 113
[19:14] <Pici> pratz: Thats fine.
[19:15] <escott> pratz, network address translation, its a subnet that is not visible to the rest of the internet. 113 is a global ip though. you could try and traceroute to it
[19:16] <uRock> what is the name of the package for the dictionary, which is normally under the Office menu?
[19:17] <noneabove> silverarrow, gonna try ANOTHER install, one last time, see if it works...
[19:17] <bsdunix> uRock: aSpell?
[19:17] <G-host> Is linux realy beter, then Windows?
[19:17] <uRock> yes
[19:17] <phoque> G-host, no
[19:17] <phoque> goodbye
[19:17] <G-host> Why?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Urock:  apt-cache search office | grep -i dict    may show it
[19:17] <uRock> thanks bsdunix
[19:17] <Dulak> It depends on your definition of better.  It's different, and some people like it more than windows, but you'll never know if you don't try it.
[19:18] <auronandace> G-host: apples and oranges (also your off-topic)
[19:18] <Pici> ActionParsnip: (btw, package names are lowercase)
[19:18] <uRock> ActionParsnip, I recently dumped xubuntu by installing ubuntu-desktop and it didn't install the dictionary. WIll give your command a shot\
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> G-host: depends on requirements. One OS isn't universally better than another. Each has its own strengths
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Pici: cool, was covering the descriptions too ;-)
[19:19] <dr_willis> G-host,  plus we all know that the CPM was the Best OS ever out.. :)
[19:19] <G-host> And it is right answer!) Thanks!)
[19:19] <NS_tech> ok so i dont screw this up,  what is the correct command to add myself back into the groups i need to be in?
[19:19] <aswift> Hello, I am having a problem with scp between my laptop running 11.04 and my netbook running 11.04.  When I try to copy a folder from my netbook to my laptop using the command "scp -v <IP_ADDRESS>:Projects/tar/file.tar.gz ." it will run for a while, but then it will stall. When I cancel it and try again I get the following message "ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: No route to host" both pc's are still on
