[16:50] <danbhfive> Redkid: well, what happened that made you need to repair grub?  grub-install will just reinstall grub, I don't think it will fix it if files are missing/broken
 if u got problem with pulseaudio and want to disable it, i shameless plug my post here http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/ubuntu-904-jaunty-keeping-the-beast-pulseaudio-at-bay/
[16:51] <Redkid> danbhfive: I'm trying to install Ubuntu, and the installer fails when installing grub, giving code 1. Someone in here suggested trying grub manually.
[16:51] <TIctoon> mgedmin: I tried both of those, no luck
[16:52] <mgedmin> TIctoon: jpeg2pnm doesn't exist, but jpegtopnm comes from ...
[16:52]  * mgedmin is waiting for dpkg -S /usr/bin/jpegtopnm to stop reading his whole hard disk
[16:52] <mgedmin> TIctoon: the package is called netpbm
[16:54] <TIctoon> this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jaunty/netpbm-free ?

[16:54] <sarfaraz_> is there any codec pack like KLM-codec ? for ubuntu 9.04 ?
[16:55]  * mgedmin has no idea what KLM-codec is, but the medibuntu repository has many codecs for ubuntu
[16:55] <danbhfive> Redkid: did you run update-grub?

[16:57] <TIctoon> ok, I've got that through, but how do I know if a command is working or if its just hanging

[16:59] <Redkid> danbhfive: Good. But how do I make the damn installer not fail? :(
[16:59] <dayo> how to i start the logOut/Restart/Shutdown/Hibernate/Suspend dialog from command line?
[16:59] <mgedmin> buch: in a terminal that would be something like sudo mkdir /media/disk-1/stuff; chown $USER /media/disk-1/stuff
[17:00] <danbhfive> Redkid: well, I don't know.  I'm looking at the docs, and I don't know how to manually install grub.  You may want to post on answers.launchpad.net   That way, you can lay out all the details

[17:05] <jedi06> openssl rsa -opts -args
[17:06] <mgedmin> jester7: rsync will generally make the destination look like the source, so yes, it will overwrite the newer file

[17:06] <jester7> mgedmin: excellent, that's the behavior i'm looking for.

[17:08] <Jake__> I'm creating a new partition on my hard drive for a dual boot of ubuntu.  How much should I use for swap and is making it into swap space done in ubuntu?
[17:09] <theTroy> Jake__: one thing for sure, if you want to hybernate, make swap > RAM size
[17:09]  * TIctoon will bang his head later, byes everyone!
[17:09] <Spike1506> Jake__, when installing ubuntu you can setup swap with the partition manager, and i suggest using twice the amount of ram as swap
[17:09] <vitek_> ?cant run enemy territory, it says "exec: 6: ./et.x86: Permission denied". any help would be great, thanks.
[17:10] <BusMaster> does anyone else have messed up fonts in qt application in jaunty?
[17:10] <theTroy> Spike1506: why is that? I have 4 GB and wasting 8GB on swap is a .... waste?
[17:10] <Beefcaked> hi why does apt-get update give me this error? W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
[17:10] <theTroy> especially since linux barely uses swap
[17:10] <moustafaza> To add an existing user to an existing group can usermod -G groupname username?
[17:11] <Quasar1048> How do I enable back ports?
[17:11] <llutz> theTroy: swap twice-RAM was ok in ancient days, today it's a stupid waste
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> !backport
[17:11] <llutz> the only reason for swap is hibernation
[17:11] <Jake__> Spike1506,  I have 4 gigs of ram and 8 for swap seems like overkill
[17:11] <forgotmypwdoh> So how do I have my password emailed to me?
[17:11] <theTroy> llutz: tell that to Spike1506
[17:11] <lstarnes> Beefcaked: you need to load medibuntu's keys
[17:12] <Spike1506> well it was just a suggestion :)
[17:12] <lstarnes> forgotmypwdoh: which password?
[17:12] <llutz> Spike1506: not a good one :)
[17:12] <Quasar1048> Oh... I just realized... I may just need to update...
[17:12] <kamagatos> beefcaked: u dont have the key to verify integrity of your repository
[17:12] <theTroy> Jake__: best is to use 4-5 GB swap, since it will allow hibernation, and linux barely uses swap with 4GB of RAM
[17:12] <llutz> Jake__: do you want to use hibernation?
[17:12] <Jake__> Spike1506, plus I've had a bad experience with the initial ubuntu installation partition editor
[17:12] <Jake__> llutz, do you mean like having the computer sleep?
[17:12] <llutz> Jake__: yes
[17:12] <lstarnes> Beefcaked: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
[17:13] <theTroy> Jake__:  llutz do not confuse sleep with hibernate
[17:13] <Jake__> llutz, in my case my computer is either on, locked or off
[17:13] <llutz> Jake__: hibernation = suspend-to-disk
[17:13] <llutz> Jake__: so you won't need any swap partition at all. just add swap-file later if you really need it

[17:15] <FirstSgt|Work> I have ubuntu on 3 computers.  I want them to be the same (all tomboy notes, desktop background, etc).  "synced"... how would I do this?
[17:15] <llutz> Jake__: depends... i'm more than fine with 10GiB, but personal data is on own disks
[17:15] <Jake__> llutz, I'll probably set it up with 20
[17:16] <Jake__> llutz, that sound reasonable?
[17:16] <llutz> Jake__: more than :)
[17:16] <mgedmin> moustafaza: usermod -g was not the right thing to do; if you want to _add_ a user to a group, use 'adduser username groupname'
[17:16] <mgedmin> moustafaza: you can do that with usermod too, but I don't remember how
[17:16] <Jake__> llutz, thanks!
[17:16] <theTroy> Jake__: on 23GB here, a bit problematic if you have EVERYTHING on it
[17:16] <mgedmin> moustafaza: if you can't get root now, you'll need to reboot and select "rescue mode"

[17:17] <theTroy> Jake__: then 20 GB is perfect for you. You will have to edit your grub list though to auto-mount your M$ partition. As well as bear in mind that the mounted ntfs partition is available to everyone to do whatever they want there

[17:26] <Heather> I had Windows 7 installed, but I went back to Windows XP. I restored grub so now I can get back into Ubuntu, but now the link to Windows in grub isn't working. How do I fix this?
[17:28] <hhb_> hi
[17:29] <Beefcaked> i have ubuntu installed in my vaio and the buttons for mute/volume up and down all respond to a gui thing.. thing is.. it doesnt actually mute the system or lower or increase the volume
[17:30] <frogbrains> Beefcaked:You probably have the buttons set the wrong slider
[17:30] <frogbrains> For volume
[17:30] <e370> how do i install .run packages through terminal
[17:30] <iceroot> e370: ./your-program.run
[17:31] <Beefcaked> frogbrains: really? because when i volume down... theres a popup thing that appears telling me its lowering the volume.. but it really isnt
[17:31] <Heather> I had Windows 7 installed, but I went back to Windows XP. I restored grub so now I can get back into Ubuntu, but now the link to Windows in grub isn't working. How do I fix this?
[17:31] <frogbrains> Beefcaked:Yeah, it's just lowering a slider, not necessarily volume
[17:31] <iceroot> e370: have a look if it is executable, elsewhere type chmod +x your-program.run first
[17:31] <iceroot> !grub | Heather
[17:31] <Beefcaked> frogbrains: so how do i really make it lower the volume, inc and mute?]
[17:31] <frogbrains> Beefcaked:To change the slider it controls, right click the volume icon in the top panel, click "Preferences", select the right sound device, the click "Master" in the list below.
[17:32] <frogbrains> That should fix it.
[17:32] <Heather> iceroot: Thanks, but I've already read through that and it didn't solve my issue in a way I could understand.
[17:32] <Heather> btw, let me just say how much I hate being given links rather than actual help
[17:32] <frogbrains> beefcaked:I can't tell you which is the right sound device, they differ with each computer.
[17:32] <iceroot> Heather: post your menu.list to pastebin
[17:32] <iceroot> !paste | Heather
[17:32] <frogbrains> Beefcaked:However, it might say something like "Alsa mixer" in it.
[17:33] <iceroot> Heather: giving links is help :) the user just have to read the link
[17:33] <Heather> iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/264522/
[17:33] <frogbrains> Beefcaked:I think that will fix it.  Might not though.

[17:35] <t0bi> hey guys! just discoverd a problem with jaunty..i have a beamer connected to the VGA-output of my laptop. xrandr doesnt "realize" this..however, if i press the function-key to switch from internal to external display, the beamer shows a cloned image of my screen. But how the hell can i set options (like extended desktop, beamer-resolution, etc.) now? as said, xrandr shows nothing but my internal display
[17:35] <iceroot> Heather: look where windows is (like sda1 or sdb2) then correct the settings at (hd0,1)  the first number is the letter. sda  a=0  sdb b=1, the second number is the number from sda1  1=0  sda2 =1  so for e.g.  sdb1  is hd(1,0)
[17:35] <e370> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

[17:43] <zebrafusion> hello all. how can I pipe a streaming .mp3 through mplayer out into my own file?
[17:43] <llutz> zebrafusion: mplayer --dumpfile
[17:43] <zebrafusion> llutz: you're sexy
[17:43] <zebrafusion> ;)
[17:43] <zebrafusion> thx mate
[17:43] <Dr_Willis> I just use the streamripper tool zebrafusion
[17:44] <kahen> zebrafusion, man mplayer says you want to look at -dumpaudio, -dumpfile and -dumpstream
[17:44] <zebrafusion> kahen: thx
[17:44] <kahen> zebrafusion, and for future reference there's also a -dumpvideo option of course
[17:44] <zebrafusion> kahen: of course ;)
[17:45] <llutz> just remember "man mplayer" ;)
[17:45] <mgedmin> and, for completeness, mplayer -ao pcm
[17:45] <jcole> anyone here know the reasoning for not including 64bit flashplayer in the next ubuntu release karmic?
[17:45] <techtronic> whats your thoughts about the need for antivirus in linux - is it needed
[17:45] <mgedmin> techtronic: no
[17:45] <Spike1506> !9.10 | jcole
[17:45] <kahen> llutz, well... man mplayer is pretty darn huge. it can be hard to find what you're looking for sometimes without reading _all_ of it carefully
[17:45] <mgedmin> techtronic: if you're running a mail server, you may want to scan for (windows) viruses in the mail that passes through
[17:46] <mgedmin> techtronic: or if you're a file server for (windows) executables
[17:46] <techtronic> standard ubuntu laptop
[17:46] <mgedmin> techtronic: people argue about the reason (technical excellence versus nobody cares about the small user base) but in practice there was never a linux virus running in the wild

[17:46] <mgedmin> worms, now, we've had those
[17:47] <mgedmin> so, techtronic, when update manager suggests security updates, it's a good idea to install them
[17:47] <jpoa> there os
[17:47] <jpoa> there is too many people in here
[17:47] <mgedmin> although worms are dangerous for servers, and ubuntu has no open ports by default
[17:47] <llutz> kahen:right, but most of the time you'll find what you're looking for, using the search-function.
[17:47] <techtronic> oh yeah i realise the need to update
[17:47] <e370> how do i see all the drivers for my hardware, there dont seem to be an app to show what is installed properly

[17:50] <new_to_linux> I am having a problem with my Atheros WPN111 USB wireless network adaptor (using the Windows driver wrapped by ndiswrapper) - it was working fine, except that it would loose the ndiswrapper settings after each boot. so I played with some settings (as suggested on a few forums), but now when i try to connect to my home access point (using a WPA encryption key), it keeps asking me for the key every couple of minutes, a
[17:50] <new_to_linux> nd never manages to establish a connection. any suggestions please??
[17:51] <mgedmin> is ndiswrapper the only choice for Atheros WPN111?
[17:51] <new_to_linux> seems so - apparently madwifi doesn't support USB adaptors ..
[17:51] <puremichael> how can i get the version of a package in apt-cache ?
[17:52] <llutz> purefusion: apt-cache policy
[17:52] <calrik_> whats the best way to share files between two ubuntu computers?
[17:52] <calrik_> secure pref also
[17:52]  * mgedmin has some weird marvell libertas pci wifi card that barely works with ndiswrapper
[17:52] <anzo> calrik is it a home network?
[17:53] <grawity> calrik_: SFTP would be the safest.
[17:53] <calrik_> anzo: yes
[17:53] <mgedmin> calrik_: ssh may be convenient
[17:53] <calrik_> ssh got size limit eh?
[17:53] <grawity> calrik_: No.
[17:53] <grawity> calrik_: Install openssh-server on both, then just go to Places -> Connect to Server...
[17:53] <mgedmin> if you've got ssh accounts (and ssh public keys), you can use Places -> Connect to server
[17:53] <mgedmin> ssh/sftp ain't the fastest thing in the world for transferring large files, perhaps
[17:53] <calrik_> ok already got ssh installed on one
[17:54] <grawity> calrik_: Including the server?
[17:54] <calrik_> yes
[17:54] <mgedmin> actually, the ssh public key is just for convenience; password-based auth will also work
[17:54] <grawity> calrik_: So go to Places now.
[17:54] <mgedmin> btw jaunty is the first ubuntu release where I could set up windows network shares (i.e. samba) using purely GUI tools (right-click on a folder in nautilus)
[17:56] <torn> When an ISO for a Linux or Unix distro has AMD64 in the filename, it simply means x86_64, correct? It will work all the same with a 64-bit Intel processor?
[17:56] <Speckal> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/277556    how can I get the updated open-vm-tools package that was mentioned in this thread?
[17:56] <llutz> torn: yes
[17:57] <torn> llutz, thank you. I just wanted to get that out of the way, since it kind of seemed odd at first.
[17:57] <torn> I'm not sure why AMD64 would be used to name an ISO, as opposed to simply x86_64.
[17:57] <Quasar1048> nope- no go...
[17:57] <mgedmin> historical reasons, I suppose
[17:57] <Quasar1048> I do not think it is possible to compile kon alpha 6 from source...
[17:57] <mgedmin> amd came up with the architecture, and it used to be called amd64 for a while
[17:58] <mgedmin> I was very surprised when I discovered my core 2 duo supported "amd64"
[17:58] <torn> Interesting.
[17:58] <calrik_> yer I got confused when I download a package with IA64 and it didnt work
[17:58] <torn> Just a remnant of the past, then.
[17:58] <calrik_> got core 2 duo also
[17:59] <grawity> IA64 is a completely different architecture.
[17:59] <calrik_> IA64 is for what processor?
[17:59] <acicula> well x86_64 and amd64 are kind of interchangeable, think there was/is a discussion about the naming
[17:59] <mgedmin> Itanium
[17:59] <acicula> IA64 is itanium (intel)
[17:59] <rajesht> Hi guys
[18:00] <rajesht> me and a frnd of mine share an OVH server with ubuntu install
[18:00] <rajesht> I just want to use KDE by installing Kubuntu but whenever i select it, it says the package is not gonna be installed
[18:00] <moustafaza> I have used the command usermod -G to assign a new group to my user (administrator) then I figured out that I've removed my primary user group so I've used usermod -G admin myuser it works well now from terminal but when I open an application in the GNOME which needs authentication if freezes when I click on unlock, any ideas?
[18:00] <rajesht> is it just because OVH not letting me to do that?

[18:01] <MrWindex> hey all
[18:01] <rajesht> OVH = company that sells dedi servers
[18:01] <rajesht> www.ovh.co.uk
[18:01] <Umeaboy> I HAVE reported it upstream.
[18:01] <Umeaboy> Nothing happens.
[18:01] <MrWindex> anyone know a good FTP client?
[18:01] <torn> new_to_linux, what version of Ubuntu?
[18:01] <Umeaboy> MrWindex: FileZilla.
[18:02] <new_to_linux> torn: jaunty
[18:02] <Pici> rajesht: What package are you trying to install?
[18:02] <rajesht> kubuntu-desktop
[18:02] <rajesht> it says that there are dependencies but those are not gonna be installed
[18:02] <torn> new_to_linux, are you using GNOME Network Manager or Wicd?
[18:02] <Pici> rajesht: Could you pastebin the contents of our /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
[18:02] <rajesht> just a pin

[18:03] <calrik_> rajesht: using synaptic to install the packages?
[18:03] <rajesht> yes, calrik
[18:03] <rajesht> i tried terminal
[18:03] <Quasar1048> I just updated, but I still cant install what I need" kdelibs4-dev
[18:03] <rajesht> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[18:03] <Bllasae_> how do I open tgz archives, again?
[18:03] <calrik_> strange synaptic normally sorts out the dependencies
[18:04] <grawity> Bllasae_: GUI or terminal?
[18:04] <Bllasae_> I dunno
[18:04] <new_to_linux> torn: the adaptor was working before actually (just using Gnome Network Manager), but then I read something about wicd, so I tried installing that. unfortunately, that messed up my wired connection, so i uninstalled wicd and went back to gnome, but it hasn't been the same since ...
[18:04] <Bllasae_> GUI
[18:04] <grawity> Bllasae_: Double-click.
[18:04] <torn> tj83_, check out Kdenlive and Avidemux-gtk.
[18:04] <Bllasae_> hah
[18:04] <Bllasae_> thanks
[18:04] <Quasar1048> it says that two things have unreasonable dependencies and that it wont install
[18:04] <nandy_> how i install oracle on ubuntu 8.04
[18:04] <vincent_> is it possible to shut down without logging out?
[18:04] <tj83_> torn, ty
[18:04] <Quasar1048> I'm starting to think its impossible]
[18:04] <grawity> vincent_: Yes, 'sudo poweroff'
[18:04] <rajesht> Quasar1048: What client are u having an issue with?
[18:04] <Umeaboy> nandy_: sudo apt-get install oracle
[18:04] <vincent_> grawity, but what??? how the hell is that possible?
[18:04] <Spike1506> !tgz | Bllasae_
[18:05] <grawity> vincent_: Huh?
[18:05] <vincent_> it's just so weird
[18:05] <grawity> I see nothing weird in that.
[18:05] <Umeaboy> Everything is weird.
[18:05] <torn> new_to_linux, try this (and I'm no expert, so I hope someone else might have a better idea) try to connect to your wireless router, and after it fails a few times, open up a terminal in fullscreen and type: dmesg | tail -30
[18:05] <acicula> nandy_: oracle as in the database?
[18:05] <torn> new_to_linux, it might show you any issues with the wireless adapter.

[18:06] <gronlund> what's the name of the alsa lib, pkg-conf cant find "alsa"
[18:06] <vincent_> grawity, the way I figure is.. if your PC is off, it's off.. there's no way you can be logged in? does your spirit stay in the turned off computer or something?
[18:07] <Quasar1048> sudo atp-get install kdelibs5-dev
[18:07] <grawity> Dude, this is not Neuromancer or anything like that
[18:07] <Quasar1048> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[18:07] <Quasar1048>   kdelibs5-dev: Depends: libasound2-dev but it is not going to be installed
[18:07] <grawity> Your spirit is _not_ in the PC.
[18:07] <Quasar1048> E: Broken packages
[18:07] <Quasar1048> ???
[18:07] <Quasar1048> update didn't fix
[18:07] <Pici> !enter | Quasar1048
[18:07] <mgedmin> anna1: if you've just installed ubuntu, the simplest solution would be to reinstall, and select manual partitioning
[18:07] <torn> tj83_, technically the program is called Avidemux, but the package you want to install is "avidemux-gtk" or "avidemux-kde".
[18:07] <Quasar1048> sorry, I just pasted
[18:07] <mgedmin> anna1: then create a small (say, 1 GB) partition for /boot in addition to a big partition for everything else
[18:08] <nandy_> rediff is possible on obuntu????????/
[18:08] <mgedmin> anna1: also make sure that the small one is the first partition (and is therefore near the beginning of the disk)
[18:08] <tj83_> torn, many thanks got it installed and i have found the settings.... great... perfect.
[18:08] <Quasar1048> I must say... 2 lines are NOT flooding. I am a chanop
[18:08] <vincent_> grawity, ok, so you don't have to sign in and give your password when you log on again?
[18:08] <grawity> mgedmin: I thought some 256 MB is enough for /boot
[18:08] <Quasar1048> not here though
[18:08] <grawity> vincent_: You do
[18:08] <torn> tj83_, have fun playing around with it! I haven't delved too much into either program. I used Avidemux a few times to convert some videos, but aside from that, I don't play with video files very often.
[18:09] <llutz> vincent_: it will log you off, just won't save your session
[18:09] <anzo> Hello All, I was wondering if any one in the room was running ubuntu 9.04 and ati graphics cards? I am currently running 8.10 because the support wasnt there for 9.04 and was wondering if it has improved as of the late?
[18:09] <mgedmin> gronlund: I think you want the libalsa-dev package (or maybe libalsaN-dev, where N is a number)
[18:09] <new_to_linux> torn: when i cancel the connection prompt for the wireless key, my access point disappears from the access point list available - help?
[18:09] <bastidraZor> Quasar1048: can you pastebin the output of apt-cache policy libasound2-dev
[18:09] <mgedmin> grawity: true; each kernel is under 15 megs, and there won't be that many of them
[18:10] <grawity> vincent_: The shutdown process will stop 'gdm', which will, by killing the Xserver, forcefully and automatically log you out.
[18:10] <gronlund> mgedmin: thanks
[18:10] <anna1> hmm, i thought about it and i think reinstallation sounds best.
[18:10] <grawity> vincent_: The "logged in users" information is stored in RAM; which is obviously only alive when the PC is on.
[18:10] <anna1> at the moment i have on 998GB partition
[18:10] <anna1> how should i partition my drive?
[18:10] <Quasar1048> bastidraZor: how do I find it?
[18:11] <bastidraZor> Quasar1048: find what?
[18:11] <Quasar1048> oh wait.. think I know...
[18:11] <Quasar1048> cache policy
[18:11] <torn> new_to_linux, so you said you installed the Windows drivers for your USB adapter via ndiswrapper?
[18:11] <acicula> there's no real reason for running multiple partitions as a home user unless you run raid/multiple os etc
[18:11] <gronlund> !libalsa
[18:11] <gronlund> !libalsa-dev
[18:11] <free-lance> sal all

[18:12] <guntbert> harjot: a CLI app or a GUI app?
[18:12] <Anarchy7> I meant I dont want them to mix ...

[18:12] <bastidraZor> Quasar1048: check your spelling.
[18:12] <vincent_> llutz and grawity, grawity told me a while ago you stay logged on while the computer is off...
[18:12] <harjot> needs x server
[18:12] <llutz> harjot: ssh user@host command
[18:13] <Pici> Anarchy7: The installer will install the Grub bootloader which does that, theres nothing you need to do to configure it during the install
[18:13] <harjot> ssh -x user@host
[18:13] <harjot> then commands?
[18:13] <Quasar1048> oh.. its liba.. not lib.. lol
[18:13] <vincent_> llutz and grawity, now you tell me you stay logged on? what is it now?
[18:13] <harjot> i can do ssh@host but not launch apps
[18:13] <guntbert> harjot: then as acicula said - but ssh -X (not -x)
[18:13] <Anarchy7> Pici thanks a lot
[18:13] <harjot> ok thanks

[18:14] <Quasar1048> pastebin! There we go...
[18:14] <harjot> ok ty
[18:14] <new_to_linux> torn: yes, there were two drivers to install (according to the forums) - they show as installed in ndisgtk, although only one of them is showing 'Hardware present'. when i start ndisgtk, an error always comes up saying 'Unable to check if hardware is present'. in the network list, there are a bunch of other access points shown, but not my home one (which has the strongest signal strength), and was previously set to a

[18:15] <Quasar1048> let me check..
[18:15] <vincent_> Pici, someone told me you can stay logged in while turning your computer off
[18:15] <blackxored> any clues??: kernel: vmap allocation failed
[18:15] <Pici> vincent_: If you hibernate your computer, then the contents of ram are stored on the harddrive.
[18:16] <llutz> Pici: shut down !=suspend/sleep
[18:16] <bastidraZor> Quasar1048: what version of libasound2-dev is it wanting to install but can't?

[18:19] <Trijntje> Hi all, how can i mount a device so that all users can read/write it? I tried mount -o rw,user but that way I cannot add new files to the disk
[18:19] <Quasar1048> didn't work yesterday though...
[18:19] <Quasar1048> can i add in manually?
[18:19] <Quasar1048> it*
[18:19] <llutz> Trijntje: what filesystem?
[18:19] <jalonso> mgedmin: ok, I'll confess, I'm actually using a slackware dvd so all I have is command prompt
[18:19] <Quasar1048> failed...
[18:20] <Rabbitbunny> jalonso: type man mount
[18:20] <Pici> jalonso: If you aren't running Ubuntu then we cannot help you, ask in their support channel.
[18:21] <jalonso> Pici: ok
[18:21] <Quasar1048> I need this repo: http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
[18:21] <Trijntje> llutz: ext2, luks encrypted
[18:21] <jalonso> thank you for  all the  help
[18:21] <Quasar1048> where do I get a key for it?
[18:21] <llutz> Trijntje: use chown/chmod
[18:21] <new_to_linux> I am having a problem with my Atheros WPN111 USB wireless network adaptor (using the Windows driver wrapped by ndiswrapper) - it was working fine, except that it would loose the ndiswrapper settings after each boot. so I played with some settings (as suggested on a few forums), but now when i try to connect to my home access point (using a WPA encryption key), it keeps asking me for the key every couple of minutes, a
[18:21] <new_to_linux> nd never manages to establish a connection. any suggestions please??
[18:21] <new_to_linux> torn: the adaptor was working before actually (just using Gnome Network Manager), but then I read something about wicd, so I tried installing that. unfortunately, that messed up my wired connection, so i uninstalled wicd and went back to gnome, but it hasn't been the same since ...
[18:22] <grawity> Quasar1048: This seems to be an official Ubuntu main repository mirror. So the PGP key should be already included with Ubuntu.
[18:22] <acicula> new_to_linux: is your key correct, does it work without encryption/wep?
[18:22] <Trijntje> llutz: yes, that works, but i am hoping there is a way to mount it properly so i dont have to do that every time i use the disk
[18:23] <llutz> Trijntje: you won't need to do it everytime if you've done it right once. permissions will be stored in the filesystem
[18:23] <jalonso> #slackware
[18:23] <new_to_linux> acicula - the key is correct. i think that maybe it might have something to do with when i installed wicd, and then uninstalled it (cos it killed my wired connection) and went back to gnome network manager
[18:23] <Quasar1048> grawity: I dont see that repo.. I have two for jaunty, but neither of them are that one..
[18:24] <Trijntje> llutz: ah ok, will that also work when i plug the disk in another pc with different users?
[18:24] <pepperphd> what are my chances of successfully installing xubuntu on an old 600 mhz powerpc?
[18:24] <llutz> Trijntje: no
[18:24] <llutz> Trijntje: it will work for users with the same UID
[18:24] <tj83_> pepperphd, will prolly work... but slow as molasses
[18:24] <thiebaude> pepperphd: how much ram?
[18:25] <tj83_> i ran ubuntu 8.04 on an old 700mhz PII pepperphd
[18:25] <pepperphd> tj83_ the thing is already slow, i just want a little box to mess with
[18:25] <pepperphd> thiebaude, 512mb
[18:25] <tj83_> pepperphd, i suggest something full CLI like ubuntu server or something like that.
[18:25] <Trijntje> llutz: so if they both have UID=1000 or so the changes will be permanent?
[18:25] <llutz> yes
[18:26] <acicula> pepperphd: there are some older versions of ubuntu that run on powerpc arch, mind you these are a bit older
[18:26] <thiebaude> pepperphd: same ram as I, but i have 1gz processor
[18:26] <linxeh> acicula: are there not still community supported builds of ubuntu on powerpc ?
[18:26] <acicula> linxeh: i dont know, seems likely :)
[18:26] <linxeh> acicula: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/jaunty/release/
[18:27] <Trijntje> llutz: thanks a lot, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why I couldnt mount it properly. Is this bug or a feature, because I was expecting it to behave as a normal filesystem when you decrypt it.
[18:27] <linxeh> seems there are builds :)
[18:27] <lasse_> halloo
[18:27] <acicula> linxeh: heh cool
[18:28] <llutz> Trijntje: i have no clue about encrypted fs
[18:28] <pons123> xss
[18:28] <Quasar1048> http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e242/Chromos1048/Screenshot-SoftwareSources.pnggrawity:
[18:28] <Quasar1048> those are all my repos
[18:29] <Quasar1048> grawity
[18:29] <Quasar1048> http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e242/Chromos1048/Screenshot-SoftwareSources.png
[18:29] <Quasar1048> I messed that up, sorry.
[18:29] <Nachturnal> Good day to you all.
[18:29] <Trijntje> llutz: i'm sorry, is this the default behavior for ext2 filesystems? because i have no such problem with a fat usb stick
[18:29] <Quasar1048> I dont see the repo its talking about... so how do I get the key for it?
[18:30] <llutz> Trijntje: its default for unix-filesystems
[18:30] <new_to_linux> acicula - the key is correct. i think that maybe it might have something to do with when i installed wicd, and then uninstalled it (cos it killed my wired connection) and went back to gnome network manager
[18:30] <bastidraZor> Quasar1048: it is unwise to mix distro versions..
[18:30] <llutz> Trijntje: on usb and other external you mostly have vfat/ntfs, which work different
[18:30] <acicula> new_to_linux: dunno then
[18:30] <Guest93202> Do we agree it's week 36? When I run "date", I get: Thu Sep  3 19:27:20 CEST 2009, but "date +%W" I get 35 ?!?
[18:31] <llutz> Trijntje: you cannot use unix-permissions on vfat/ntfs, that's why they have special mount-options
[18:31] <acicula> Guest93202: me 2
[18:31] <Guest93202> acicula, but, that's wierd?
[18:31] <Trijntje> llutz: I see, thank you very much, you've explained a lot to me in a short time.
[18:31] <grawity> Quasar1048: The one you want is an _official_ repo
[18:31] <linxeh> Guest93202:        %W     week number of year, with Monday as first day of week (00..53)
[18:31] <acicula> Guest93202: dunno, maybe it counts from 0-51
[18:31] <grawity> Quasar1048: And in your screenshot it's the "Third-party" tab.
[18:31] <linxeh> Guest93202: read the manpage for date
[18:31] <Guest93202> Oh, so week 1 is mapped to 0, and so forth
[18:32] <grawity> Quasar1048: The one you want goes in 'Ubuntu software'
[18:32] <Guest93202> No offence to the author of date, but that's stupid?
[18:32] <acicula> Guest93202: no, it's in fact not that, look at the man page
[18:32] <acicula> (i just checked :)
[18:32] <lebear> Hi. I want to install VLC in a specific dir, but I can only find the aptitude way of doing this - is it possible to specify path using aptitude ?
[18:32] <Guest93202> acicula, I've already read it, but I couldn't figure it out, so I asked here.
[18:32] <funkmaster> hi there :) is there any way that i can display (e.g. by mount --bind or some other way) the contents of a folder A and folder B at the same time in folder C, so I enter directory C and see in there the content of A and B merged?
[18:33] <Quasar1048> wonder why its not working then>
[18:33] <Quasar1048> ?*
[18:33] <linxeh> Guest93202: then why the surprise at my quote from the manpage ?
[18:33] <llutz> funkmaster: unionfs/aufs should do that
[18:34] <Quasar1048> I never understood why this stuff works so easily for everyone else...
[18:34] <Guest93202> linxeh, because I was just told that it's not the case, that date mapes week 1 as 0, 2 as 1 and so forth?
[18:34] <Guest93202> maps*
[18:34] <funkmaster> llutz: ok googling it right now :)
[18:34] <Quasar1048> this stuff just needs to get more organized, its all a disaster
[18:34] <linxeh> Guest93202: its from 00-53, with monday as the first day of the week.
[18:35] <Quasar1048> ten different tutorials to do the same thing- each one works  for a different person... shouldnt be like that
[18:35] <Guest93202> so it does..
[18:35] <Pici> Quasar1048: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list using http://paste.ubuntu.com please?
[18:35] <jrib> Quasar1048: use help.ubuntu.com as your documentation
[18:35] <Quasar1048> Pici: yeah, give me a moment
[18:35] <linxeh> Guest93202: the manpage gives several options for month of year. I think you chose the wrong one.
[18:35] <cmelo> Does anyone here use Ubuntu/Jaunty Firefox and have issues with sites like Stckam - I can't get the chat to work
[18:36] <FluxD> I am trying to install apt-get install ubuntu-desktop on ubuntu server and its throwing me dependancies error. Any ideas what could be wrong?
[18:36] <Quasar1048> Pici: http://pastebin.com/m7ecddb2e
[18:37] <wild_oscar> hey! what package is the one responsible for the keyboard models/layouts
[18:37] <wild_oscar> I'm filing a bug and need to know the package
[18:37] <zvonkorp> can i have pure-ftpd automatically give read/write permissions to newly created folders or directories
[18:37] <Guest93202> linxeh, thanks, I see it now.
[18:37] <miguelonnnn> hi please will you help me? i've got an usb modem and i need to configure it
[18:37] <mgedmin> wild_oscar: it's called xkeyboard-config upstream; not sure if ubuntu has the same package name
[18:37] <genii> wild_oscar: console-setup
[18:38] <grawity> zvonkorp: Look for 'umask' in its config.
[18:38] <miguelonnnn> could you help me a little?
[18:38] <zvonkorp> thank you grawity
[18:38] <grawity> miguelonnnn: We probably could, but you haven't explained your problem yet.
[18:38] <miguelonnnn> hehe grawity eheh i just asked
[18:38] <linxeh> now, to figure out why hdmi audio isnt working. grr!
[18:38] <miguelonnnn> nice then , let's start
[18:38] <moustafaza> Can anyone here help me fix something with the user groups?
[18:39] <pshr_> miguelonnnn, i need the same thing
[18:39] <miguelonnnn> in the walkthrough i found, it says ubuntu should recognise my usb modem as a cdrom
[18:39] <guntbert> FluxD: the point is: X is not supported on server, so there will be missing libraries, but feel free to !pastebin (don't just paste) the output of your apt-get install
[18:39] <pshr_> its a reliance USB ADM
[18:39] <wild_oscar> mgedmin: where should I file the issue then? (the issue being that my keyboard model is not in the list) ?
[18:39] <miguelonnnn> well let's do it together pshr_
[18:39] <danielgianni> anyone know how to capture events of ubuntu (without GUI) for example the end of the event automount the cdrom? I'm trying to develop a service of ubuntu to update some systems via cdrom
[18:39] <FluxD> guntbert, thanks let me do that now
[18:39] <Quasar1048> miguelonnnn: if its 3G, I run the same thing...
[18:39] <MaNU_> Contents missing when ppt opened in OO, how we can prevent it?
[18:39] <sebsebseb> hi
[18:39] <Lardon> boithia!!!!pliss
[18:39] <pshr_> i have tried it but the modem wont get detected atlast
[18:39] <pshr_> :(
[18:39] <mgedmin> wild_oscar: *shrug* models don't mean much these days
[18:39] <Pici> Quasar1048: Plese run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace the contents with http://pastebin.com/m27ec0403
[18:40] <miguelonnnn> but my usb doesn't get recongised as cdrom, i don't know if it simply doesn't get mount, or it isn't recognised at all. My /media/has cdrom and cdrom 0
[18:40] <miguelonnnn> does that mean it's recognised?
[18:40] <mgedmin> if you mean "model" as in "pc 104/105-key keyboard"
[18:40] <pshr_> try lsusb
[18:40] <pshr_> in command line miguelonnnn
[18:40] <pshr_> see if your device is listed
[18:40] <wild_oscar> mgedmin: yeah, it's just that mine has this nice scroll wheel...that doesn't work
[18:40] <wild_oscar> mgedmin: model as in "logitech something" or mircosoft 600
[18:40] <Flannel> danielgianni: If the CDs have a proper repository on them, you can use apt-cdrom to add it to the repos, after that, just update/upgrade.  Or are you looking to automate it further?
[18:41] <FluxD> guntbert, http://pastebin.ca/1552832
[18:41] <wild_oscar> don't know if having the model there makes any difference though
[18:41] <MaNU_> Contents missing when ppt opened in OO, how we can prevent it?
[18:41] <cmelo> Does anyone have issues using the chat on stickam.com I can't get it to work.  What am I missing?  I have Flash installed and the Video works but the chat
[18:41] <miguelonnnn> but i duno if it's listed
[18:41] <miguelonnnn> pshr_
[18:41] <miguelonnnn> i do ls /media
[18:41] <pshr_> miguelonnnn, the model of your USB modem ?
[18:41] <miguelonnnn> and get cdrom and cdrom0,
[18:41] <Pici> Quasar1048: Your repositories were messed up, the pastebinned link I shared should fix everything.  Just run your normal update procedure and you should be all set.
[18:42] <Quasar1048> do I leave the hashes?
[18:42] <pshr_> miguelonnnn, try ls /dev/ to find the list of devices not ls /media, it gives only mounted devices
[18:42] <Trijntje> wild_oscar: is just your scrollwheel not working?
[18:42] <miguelonnnn> huawei, but in the howto i'm following it says it should be recognised as cdrom, so i don't know if it is or not
[18:42] <Quasar1048> it says something about removign two lines before adding more
[18:42] <Quasar1048> ?
[18:42] <legend2440> FluxD: in terminal try  sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop  aptitude often offers dependency solutions when apt-get doesnt
[18:42] <miguelonnnn> i could just unplug the usb and make a ls /media again, to see if cdrom is still there, but i'm afraid that will be bad to my computer
[18:42] <pshr_> miguelonnnn, short and sweet here is the crux these are the things that might prove use ful
[18:43] <pshr_> you would need gnome-ppp
[18:43] <pshr_> !gnome-ppp
[18:43] <pshr_> !wvdial
[18:43] <wild_oscar> Trijntje: seems so; and also some of the hotkeys on the top don't do what they're supposed to and don't know how to change it
[18:43] <FluxD> legend2440, I did try that, It told me it was going to downgrade apt and some other utlities
[18:43] <wild_oscar> Trijntje: why?
[18:43] <pshr_> well miguelonnnn wvdial is another thing that you need to configure it right
[18:43] <Trijntje> wild_oscar: type this in a terminal:  xev|grep button
[18:43] <Quasar1048> miguelonnnn: what works on mine, is booting with the modem in, and runnign the command "sudo modprobe option"
[18:43] <pshr_> i will direct you the URL of the settings thing hold on
[18:43] <Quasar1048> and then waiting a few minutes
[18:43] <Quasar1048> Im using 3G now
[18:44] <pshr_> miguelonnnn, might be useful  http://www.techtalkz.com/open-source-linux/515427-how-setup-configure-reliance-datacard-usb-internet-ubuntu-linux.html
[18:44] <Trijntje> wild_oscar: that way you can see if there is an effect when you use those buttons, and possibly assign these buttons to some events
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> thanks
[18:44] <pshr_> miguelonnnn, its most likely to be almost the same see in the comments section of the same
[18:44] <pshr_> np
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> quasar i read about that , i may try
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> i'm also a little concerned of fstab
[18:44] <FluxD> legend2440, http://pastebin.ca/1552836
[18:44] <guntbert> FluxD: well - the important part seems to be "This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation ", you *could* try to get another GUI going, which is not as heavy as gnome
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> because i installed from usb, and i was supposed to edit fstab but i didn't
[18:44] <wild_oscar> Trijntje: is that for keyboard buttons?
[18:45] <FluxD> guntbert, same with kubuntu
[18:45] <Quasar1048> Pici: the repos in gedit atre spread out...
[18:45] <Quasar1048> where should I post it?
[18:45] <miguelonnnn> could i pastebin my fstab and you tlel me if it's right?
[18:45] <Quasar1048> it has comments, then a repo.. comment, then a repo...
[18:45] <miguelonnnn> it's just 3 lines please
[18:45] <pshr_> miguelonnnn, addressing who ?
[18:45] <Quasar1048> I dont wann mess it up, but I did copy it...
[18:45] <guntbert> FluxD: of course, thats is just as heavy
[18:45] <Trijntje> wild_oscar: no, for mouse buttons, you have to grep for buttons because xev also registers mousemovement etc,
[18:45] <miguelonnnn> i don't understand pshr- ;S
[18:45] <FluxD> guntbert, what do you suggest?
[18:45] <christoph__> Hi. Is there a programm like sort with an additional option to ignore the first line of a file?
[18:45] <FluxD> guntbert, and why would downgrade apt?
[18:46] <FluxD> it*
[18:46] <miguelonnnn> can i pastebin my fstab and you look at it please? it's just 3 lines
[18:46] <miguelonnnn> w8 just a minut eplease
[18:46] <maour> i copyied some files from another computer's /var/cache/apt/archives to mine , now i should just run aptitude update to inform my system to know about these updates , right ?
[18:46] <FluxD> miguelonnnn, just pastebin it and paste it here
[18:46] <wild_oscar> Trijntje: oh, I was referring to my keyboard. it has a scroll wheel (yeah!)
[18:47] <pepito> hi guys
[18:47] <Trijntje> wild_oscar: ehm, then try it without the grep, just use xev    and see if you can identify the scroll event
[18:47] <pepito> i d like to install virtualbox... should i add something to my sources.list?
[18:47] <wild_oscar> Trijntje: http://images.google.pt/imgres?imgurl=http://www.chip7.pt/fotos/produtos/TECRATO0039_g.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.chip7.pt/catalogo/detalhes_produto.php%3Fid%3D18667&usg=__NQ2B0SK0eQNpplaoiEz9G_pGy8M=&h=200&w=200&sz=7&hl=pt-PT&start=4&um=1&tbnid=g2sfPwcgPiCkVM:&tbnh=104&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbtc%2B8190urf%26hl%3Dpt-PT%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dcom.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1
[18:47] <Quasar1048> Pici: this is what it look like:http://pastebin.com/m5577c6d1
[18:48] <Quasar1048> where do I put your list at? A bit confusing...
[18:48] <wild_oscar> Trijntje: nah, doesn't record anything
[18:48] <pepito> i d also like to install nice themes; but not all work.
[18:48] <miguelonnnn> look please, http://pastebin.org/14658
[18:48] <miguelonnnn> tell me if that fstab is right
[18:49] <sebsebseb>
[18:49] <miguelonnnn> i installed from usb
[18:49] <pepito> i tried to search some packages, like texlive, but not there neither
[18:49] <pepito> i m missing something, can t figure out what...
[18:49] <pshr_> miguelonnnn, if you manage to get your usbmodem working can you leave me PM on the same pleasee
[18:49] <Trijntje> wild_oscar: have you tried googling your keyboard with the word ubuntu?
[18:49] <guntbert> FluxD: I don't know about downgrade .., suggestion 1) stay with desktop, 2) if you insist on desktop keep in mind that ubuntu-desktop is only a "meta package" which has only a lot of dependencies, you *could* try to install some packages from that list - and leave the others, but I do not recommend it, you will get no support if anything goes wrong
[18:50] <miguelonnnn> yweah pshr_ ofcourse
[18:50] <pshr_> thank you..
[18:50] <sebsebseb> !downgrade |  FluxD   guntbert
[18:50] <billybigrigger> how do i mount an .iso when i don't have a physical cdrom attached at the moment?
[18:50] <guntbert> * should read 2) in you insist on server + desktop
[18:50] <olinuxx> yrp !
[18:50] <FluxD> guntbert, from what I saw it had something to do with python 2.5 vs python 2.6 any ideas?
[18:50] <bastidraZor> !iso | billybigrigger
[18:50] <Zer1> hi
[18:50] <guntbert> sebsebseb: I beg your pardon?
[18:50] <grawity> billybigrigger: mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/
[18:50] <wild_oscar> Trijntje: yeah, not too lucky, seems to be a very underground keyboard
[18:51] <billybigrigger> i keep getting mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist
[18:51] <sebsebseb> guntbert: nevermind
[18:51] <Flannel> FluxD: What version of Ubuntu is this?
[18:51] <mgedmin> wild_oscar: you should file a bug about keys/scroll wheels not working on your keyboard, but I'm not sure against which package
[18:51] <pepito> no one to enlighten me about installing texlive and virtualbox?
[18:51] <pepito> why is it not available...?
[18:51] <MenZa> pepito: virtualbox and texlive are, uh, both available
[18:51] <guntbert> FluxD: no, sorry (and I will not try that on my ubuntu server :-))
[18:52] <jrib> pepito: how are you determining it is not?
[18:52] <Trijntje> pepito: virtualbox is available, possibly you have to activate a repository
[18:52] <FluxD> Flannel, I have ubuntu server 9.04 installed and I am trying to do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:52] <guntbert> !info virtualbox | pepito
[18:52] <grawity> billybigrigger: What exact command are you using?
[18:52] <Flannel> FluxD: Have you been mixing repos or doing anything funky?
[18:52] <FluxD> !info virtualbox-ose | pepito
[18:52] <billybigrigger> got it
[18:52] <billybigrigger> grawity, got er
[18:52] <billybigrigger> :)
[18:52] <amee2k> if i ask a question, can i get a reply?
[18:53] <guntbert> !vbox | pepito
[18:53] <pepito> thanks guys
[18:53] <billybigrigger> grawity, dunno, trying to pass -t udf
[18:53] <jrib> amee2k: if someone knows the answer, sure...
[18:53] <FluxD> Flannel, default install
[18:53] <Trijntje> wild_oscar: That too bad.. Try to find out where you could file a bugreport
[18:53] <amee2k> hm... then here we go: if i modify my unusual_devs.h, would it be sufficient if i only recompiled the usb-storage module?
[18:53] <pepito> add/remove programs can t find it...
[18:53] <christoph__> Is there a way to add a '-' at the first line and first position of a file. With awk or sed?
[18:53] <wild_oscar> Trijntje: ok, cheers. by the way, if xev records an event, how can I map it to an action?
[18:53] <Pici> Quasar1048: Replace the contents of your current sources.list file with what I provided
[18:54] <jrib> christoph__: easy enough with sed, sure
[18:54] <FluxD> pepito, get it from here http://virtualbox.org
[18:54] <mgedmin> amee2k: maybe; I'm not familiar with unusual_devs.h
[18:54] <wild_oscar> because on gnome's keyboard shortcuts, when I assign a button it assigns to Ctl+Alt+C
[18:54] <Flannel> FluxD: Alright, well the first thing you need to do is fix those broken packages.  Some of the dependency issues indicate that you have something funky with your repos.  Can you please pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update?
[18:54] <guntbert> pepito: use synaptic or apt-get/aptitude
[18:54] <mgedmin> amee2k: are you trying to add support for an unusual USB 3G dongle or something?
[18:54] <amee2k> its a file that includes rather unaesthetic device specific hacks
[18:54] <wild_oscar> but then when I click the button it doesn't do the assigned action  (but ctl-alt+c on the keyboard does!)
[18:54] <christoph__> Thx jrib, i will man :D
[18:55] <Quasar1048> Pici: I did... didnt fix it
[18:55] <pepito> in synaptic; nothing under VBOX neither virtualb
[18:55] <Trijntje> wild_oscar: emm, there is a program to do that i believe, you should google. I for one have compiz 'rotate cube' to some extra buttons on my mouse, just by typing in "Button7" as the binding
[18:55] <guntbert> FluxD: please don't recommend third party sources as first step, when there are repos available
[18:55] <Pici> Quasar1048: Please run sudo apt-get update  and then try again
[18:55] <Quasar1048> still reports broken packages when I try to install kdelibs5-dev
[18:55] <amee2k> mgedmin: yeah, for some reason it includes an entry for my umts stick that i strongly suspect interferes with my attempts to make it work
[18:55] <FluxD> guntbert, okay sorry
[18:55] <Quasar1048> I did that... twice
[18:55] <Quasar1048> the update
[18:55] <jrib> christoph__: any basic sed tutorial will show you how.  Just learn how to match particular lines and what the "^" pattern means
[18:55] <Pici> Quasar1048: And did you get an error or not?
[18:55] <pepito> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[18:55] <mgedmin> amee2k: the question is: which files #include unusual_devs.h?  if it's only those .c files that are used for usb-storage.ko, then sure, rebuilding it will be sufficient
[18:55] <pepito> ok nice ther
[18:55] <mgedmin> amee2k: often you can get those to work without patching kernel modules
[18:55] <Quasar1048> ppa.launch pad is missing key
[18:55] <guntbert> !info virtualbox-OSE
[18:56] <Quasar1048> aside from that, no
[18:56] <mgedmin> amee2k: there are userspace apps that issue a usb command telling the stick to switch from "I'm a CD with windows drivers" mode to "I'm a USB modem" mode
[18:56] <guntbert> pepito: wait
[18:56] <FluxD> Flannel, http://pastebin.ca/1552847
[18:56] <Spike1506> i installed compizconfig-settings-manager but it doesnt show up in system->preferences nor is it executable via the command line, any suggestions?
[18:56] <pepito> i m getting the virtualbox .deb from their website
[18:56] <pepito> but weird i can  t find them in synaptic
[18:56] <Quasar1048> Pici: http://pastebin.com/m5bc7b41d
[18:57] <Quasar1048> thats the only error
[18:57] <guntbert> pepito: bad idea
[18:57] <amee2k> mgedmin: yeah, it presents me with a fake mass storage device that i need to eject. usb_modeswitch fails for some reason, and i can't eject it like a usual mass storage device because the entry in unusual devs causes that device to get rejected
[18:57] <pepito> neither under Add/remove programs
[18:57] <mgedmin> amee2k: e.g. the udev-extras package has modem-modeswitch
[18:57] <new_to_linux> I am having a problem with my Atheros WPN111 USB wireless network adaptor (using the Windows driver wrapped by ndiswrapper) - it was working fine, except that it would loose the ndiswrapper settings after each boot. so I played with some settings (as suggested on a few forums), but now when i try to connect to my home access point (using a WPA encryption key), it keeps asking me for the key every couple of minutes, a
[18:57] <new_to_linux> nd never manages to establish a connection. any suggestions please??
[18:57] <Trijntje> Spike1506: reinstall?
[18:57] <Pici> Quasar1048: One moment, my browser closed.
[18:57] <pepito> I d also like to get TEXLIVE package... is it there?
[18:57] <Spike1506> Trijntje, tried that, no luck
[18:57] <amee2k> mgedmin: interresting point. i'll try that one
[18:57] <guntbert> pepito: do you need usb support in the virtual machines?
[18:57] <Spike1506> will try again though
[18:58] <Trijntje> Spike1506: edit the main menu, maybe it is there but selected not to show?
[18:58] <Anarchy7> hi guys when installing ubuntu it said formatting partititions .. and I cancelled immediately
[18:58] <pepito> yes
[18:58] <Anarchy7> I would like everything to staz the same like my pictures and music
[18:58] <mgedmin> amee2k: maybe it'll start working just by installing udev-extras? if not, it may be useful to report a bug with USB device ids, so that out-of-the-box support could be added in the future
[18:58] <sebsebseb> Anarchy7: ok
[18:58] <Welshy-Rob> Anarchy7, make a back up
[18:58] <sebsebseb> Anarchy7: guided install?  manual install?  what did you try and do?
[18:58] <seidos> !loco
[18:58] <guntbert> !who | pepito
[18:58] <Anarchy7> I just double clicked install
[18:59] <Anarchy7> and then forward forward ...
[18:59] <Austad> Hi, I'm getting this error when i "make":
[18:59] <Spike1506> Trijntje, both a reinstall and editing the main menu == no luck
[18:59] <Austad> ndefined reference to `dlclose'
[18:59] <Trijntje> Spike1506: when i cant find the executable for a program, i always do dpkg -L program and look for the /usr/bin dir, to see which are there
[18:59] <Austad> Any suggestions?
[18:59] <amee2k> ehz56789
[18:59] <sebsebseb> Anarchy7: if you do the wrong option it wil delete Windows as well
[18:59] <pepito> ok sorry guys
[18:59] <sebsebseb> !dualboot |  Anarchy7
[18:59] <Pici> Quasar1048: Please run the following: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 2836CB0A8AC93F7A && gpg --export --armor 2836CB0A8AC93F7A | sudo apt-key add -
[18:59] <sebsebseb> Anarchy7: I assume you want to dual boot?
[18:59] <pepito> guntbert: i don t get why i can t find such packages in synaptic
[18:59] <mgedmin> Anarchy7: usually the installer presents choices, like "resize existing partition and install ubuntu alongside" and "wipe everything and install just ubuntu"; I don't recall which one is the default
[18:59] <Flannel> FluxD: alright, please pastebin the output of the following: apt-cache policy gcc-4.3 gcc-4.3-base python update-manager firefox-3.0 libgtk2.0-0
[19:00] <amee2k> (and no, i didn't just **** my password into the public support chan  :X  )
[19:00] <Anarchy7> mgedmin it didnt ask me anything like that
[19:00] <Austad> how to install  glibc-solibs ?
[19:00] <pepito> guntbert: texlive, virtualbox
[19:00] <guntbert> pepito: I suggest you try the open source version first - to get your feet wet - and later you install the closed source version (with USB support) - would that be ok for you?
[19:00] <grawity> Pici: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 2836CB0A8AC93F7A
[19:01] <Anarchy7> sebsebseb yes dual boot
[19:01] <Welshy-Rob> any one know of a ogv converter?
[19:01] <grawity> Pici: Shorter, and more reliable when the Ubuntu keyserver dies again.
[19:01] <pepito> guntbert: the problem is another one
[19:01] <grawity> Welshy-Rob: mencoder, and probably ffmpeg
[19:01] <Spike1506> Trijntje, and then?
[19:01] <sebsebseb> Anarchy7: What do you use Windows for?
[19:01] <pepito> using the search method in ubuntu i just get almost NOTHING
[19:01] <Pici> grawity: thanks
[19:01]  * MenZa games on Windows.
[19:01] <guntbert> pepito: what is the real problem then?
[19:01] <grawity> Welshy-Rob: Assuming that .ogv is Ogg Theora.
[19:01] <Welshy-Rob> grawity, ty
[19:01] <mgedmin> Anarchy7: perhaps this video will make the process clearer? http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/2009/09/02/Ubuntu_Dual_Boot_Install
[19:01] <mgedmin> disclaimer: I haven't watched it
[19:01] <FluxD> Flannel, http://pastebin.ca/1552854
[19:01] <sebsebseb> MenZa: games on Linux as well :)  or only on Linux,  depending on the games
[19:01] <mgedmin> (my firefox stopped showing flash *again*)
[19:02] <thiebaude> !games
[19:02] <Gelegrodan> somebody got cryptsetup working with dropbear? :)
[19:02] <MenZa> sebsebseb: I like my Windows for gaming.
[19:02] <pepito> guntbert: i searched ICON    THEME     VLC      VIRTUALBOX     VBOX     AAC A52 ASF formats
[19:02] <Trijntje> Spike1506: when i do that i see a line /urs/bin/cssm, which means the command to start the program is cssm
[19:02] <Welshy-Rob> grawity, umm its a recording of my desktop form "recordmydesktop"
[19:02] <pepito> nothing to listen to asf or wma files or m4a files
[19:02] <sebsebseb> MenZa: a games console would be better :)
[19:02] <MenZa> sebsebseb: I disagree - but that's a debate for -ot :)
[19:02] <popey> Welshy-Rob: what do you want to convert _to_?
[19:03] <pepito> no plugins no texlive, no vbox no virtualb, this is not a normal behaviour...
[19:03] <Quasar1048> Pici: http://pastebin.com/m61c4a849
[19:03] <pepito> can t get what is wrong
[19:03] <pepito> i m new to this
[19:03] <Welshy-Rob> mpeg or fly
[19:03] <amee2k> mgedmin: it didn't magically start to work due to udev-utils. i keep having "[366737.470655] usb-storage: device ignored" in my syslog and modem-modeswitch tells me "no mass storage device found."
[19:03] <Spike1506> Trijntje, thanks, /usr/bin/ccsm was there
[19:03] <Quasar1048> I get the feeling that all Im accomplish9ing here is messing thigns up worse...
[19:03] <pepito> isn t it supposed to work out of the box?
[19:03] <amee2k> sounds like the two go hand in hand
[19:03] <Spike1506> seems to work now
[19:03] <Spike1506> ty
[19:03] <Welshy-Rob> popey, mpeg or fly
[19:03] <Flannel> FluxD: Alright, this is odd.  Can you please pastebin your sources.list? (/etc/apt/sources.list)
[19:03] <Trijntje> pepito: did you add the extra repository?
[19:03] <popey> Welshy-Rob: there is a program called winff in the repository, which may do it
[19:03] <sebsebseb> MenZa: In my opinion  Linux users should stop playing Windows games, unless  they are also made for Linux, or at least work well under Wine,   but  this is off topic, so let's end it here
[19:03] <Anarchy7> sebsebseb the thing is windows crashed something bad happened anyway .. I can open the computer with ubuntu live cd and browse pictures movies all is ok and I tried to install ubuntu cause I need an OS ... but it didnt ask me resize or anything like that it was just installing it anyway ...
[19:03] <mgedmin> amee2k: the first message is good (I think; if usb-storage claimed the device, you couldn't do anything with it); the second is not so good
[19:03] <guntbert> pepito: please relax - you are jumping now - lets do one thing and then the next, shall we start with texlive? do you know what that is?
[19:03] <popey> mgedmin: its ogv, not flash, that video
[19:03] <Trijntje> Spike1506: if you want you can edit your main menu to add it
[19:03] <MenZa> sebsebseb: I'd like to continue discussing this. Join me in -offtopic :)
[19:03] <popey> mgedmin: well, if your browser supports the video tag :)
[19:04] <Spike1506> Trijntje, i know, thanks :)
[19:04] <amee2k> i can't eject the device if it is ignored and the device specific hack that is supposed to "fix" it (fix what? in the first place) doesn't work
[19:04] <Welshy-Rob> popey, is that sympatic manager?
[19:04] <pepito> Trijntje: which one?
[19:04] <pepito> guntbert: ok sorry;
[19:04] <mgedmin> amee2k: there are multiple userspace apps for various kinds of modems, you may want to google for your specific model
[19:04] <mimis> how can i write latex in ubuntu 9.04?
[19:04] <Trijntje> Spike1506: ok, good luck with compiz
[19:04] <Anarchy7> mgedmin my connection sucks to watch videos
[19:04] <MenZa> mimis: use the texlive distribution
[19:04] <acsia> hello
[19:04] <pepito> guntbert: i d like to play some music (aac a52 and wma/m4a support)
[19:04] <acsia> is there a way to know the version of a module?
[19:04] <FluxD> Flannel, http://pastebin.com/f216dd151
[19:04] <popey> Anarchy7: by default it doesn't format your windows partition, it resizes it down
[19:04] <mgedmin> amee2k: some of those require you to manually pass in the hex vendor and device IDs before they deign to issue the mode switch command
[19:04] <llutz> acsia: modinfo
[19:05] <Spike1506> ty Trijntje (till ati messes up again of course ;))
[19:05] <Anarchy7> popey but it was saying formatting partitions when installing ...
[19:05] <MenZa> mimis: There's a *ton* of packages (list them all with apt-cache search texlive), but if you're lazy, just install texlive-full, which will install just about any package you'll ever need, pdflatex, latex, ps2pdf, dvips, etc. etc.
[19:05] <acsia> llutz cheers!
[19:05] <babbio> i guys i have a problem....some time ago i had configured an rsync rule to backup my mail account....now i recieve some strange mail from cron because i have unplugged the hard disk i used to backup the files....how to stop cron to mail me?????
[19:05] <amee2k> mgedmin: /lib/udev/modem-modeswitch -v 19d2 -p 2000 -t option-zerocd  << that is my command
[19:05] <popey> Anarchy7: yes, formatting the _ubuntu_ partition, not the windows one
[19:05] <mgedmin> popey: then it's the totem (?) plugin that stopped working in my firefox; anyway I can watch that video in chromium
[19:05] <Anarchy7> and on install options there wee 2 things to chose remove windows vista loading and 2nd was advanced I choosed the 1st one
[19:05] <acsia> you always wonder if it s quicker to google or irc commands
[19:05] <sebsebseb> MenZa: these types of discussions go on, and on, and on, and on,   and I have done it a few times before, and  I  just got a load of updates for karmic I should re boot really,  so no thanks I am not joining off topic right now
[19:05] <guntbert> pepito: ok, for that neither texlive nor virtualbox will be helpful - they are for totally different tasks
[19:05] <Trijntje> pepito: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[19:05] <Trijntje> i think its in universe
[19:05] <amee2k> also tried usb_modeswitch with no success. it just hangs in a select-ioctl loop
[19:05] <MenZa> aw.
[19:05] <mgedmin> amee2k: ooh, zerocd, I think I had used a dongle like that
[19:05] <popey> Anarchy7: the first one will resize windows down to make room for ubuntu, it doesnt format windows
[19:05] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, i just installed 9.10
[19:06] <pepito> guntbert: Trijntje   i know what they are for
[19:06] <pepito> i just can t find them
[19:06] <pepito> how should i add a repository?
[19:06] <sebsebseb> thiebaude: ok
[19:06] <amee2k> mgedmin: it is the only type it supports according to the man page
[19:06] <Anarchy7> okay I am gonna take backup of pictures and try the first one thanks a lot guys
[19:06] <squarebottle> Heya. I've got an interesting problem. When I get to the graphical login, I enter my password and then the screen blanks for a second and goes right back to the graphical login screen (as if the x-server crashed and auto restarted). Any ideas?
[19:06] <Trijntje> pepito: system -> administration -> software sources
[19:06] <pepito> guntbert: it should be some kind of apt-get install gstreamer virtualbox texlive
[19:06] <Pici> Quasar1048: I need to deal with another issue here at work, That error isn't tough to fix, but I unforunately don't have time to help you out.  Someone else here should be able to assist you, just explain the current issue you are having (once you get this working your update process should work fine)
[19:06] <mgedmin> backups are always good; you never know when a disk is going to die
[19:06] <guntbert> pepito: lets try texlive  together - ok?
[19:06] <amee2k> mgedmin: wouldn't it be considerably easier for the average user to let the storage device with the useless drivers get detected as usual and allow the user to eject it as usual
[19:07] <mgedmin> amee2k: maybe, I dunno :/
[19:07] <pepito> ok gunt
[19:07] <pepito> ok guntbert
[19:07] <amee2k> i mean, i gather that is how they do it on the other system from redmond too, isn't it?
[19:07] <kayhan> hi
[19:07] <kayhan> I wantto add  BUILD_CPPFLAGS += "-Wno-format-security -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE"
[19:07] <guntbert> pepito: open a command line please
[19:07] <mimis> MenZa: ok i am installing the texlive-full
[19:07] <kayhan> to local.conf but where is this file located?
[19:08] <mgedmin> amee2k: actually, no; it would be considerably easier for the average user if he/she could plug it in and it worked with no weird manual unmount steps required
[19:08] <pepito> guntbert: done
[19:08] <mimis> MenZa: will it appear in the applications menu?
[19:08] <mgedmin> amee2k: I'm surprised that usb-storage already knows about this device; this sounds like (part) of a solution
[19:08] <guntbert> pepito: type "sudo apt-get install texlive" (without the quotes)
[19:08] <mgedmin> maybe the other part is missing
[19:08] <kayhan> hi
[19:08] <kayhan> I wantto add  BUILD_CPPFLAGS += "-Wno-format-security -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE"
[19:08] <acsia> exot
[19:08] <kayhan> to local.conf but where is this file located?
[19:08] <acsia> exit
[19:08] <amee2k> mgedmin: the unusual_devs.h has a list of device specific hacks. just that it doesn't work as its supposed to be
[19:08] <guntbert> !repeat | kayhan
[19:09] <FalconStream> Hi, I have a problem in ubuntu hardy  I install gDesklets and it no run . the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/264572/
[19:09] <FalconStream> ANY HELP PLEASE
[19:09] <Quasar1048> Pici: Thats alright... actually that works out, because I have something i have to do as well, lol. Thanks for the help though.. I'm sure I'll get this fixed, somehow I always manage...
[19:09] <thiebaude> !caps | FalconStream
[19:09] <amee2k> imo hacks that are so very specific don't belong into the kernel anyway unless they work around serious hardware bugs
[19:09] <Flannel> FluxD: Alright.  So, you don't have any problems with your sources, but you're not getting the newer versions of packages (gcc-4.3 is version 4.3.3-5ubuntu4, for instance) because... well, I don't know why.  That half-and-half thing is what the problem is, although it shouldn't have gotten to this broken state by default (unless you forced or something, it just wouldn't update things that lead to a broken situation).  I'd try changing your mirror,
[19:09] <geezer> Hi everyone.... I'm getting these green band that flickers on and off every 5-6 seconds at the very bottom of my laptop's LCD monitor.... only noticed it recently when I changed my theme in Ubuntu.... but the thing is, I also noticed it before GRUB even loads (at the ThinkPad/LenovoCare screen you get when you just turn on the system).... it's still under warranty, so should I take i in?
[19:09] <Ean> Hi! How can I find out what class-name an application have?
[19:09] <FalconStream> Ok sorry
[19:10] <FalconStream> but please help me
[19:10] <FluxD> Flannel, all of them?
[19:10] <mgedmin> FalconStream: you need to install the PyGtk library that gDesklets wants
[19:10] <Welshy-Rob> popey, i cant find  winff anywhere
[19:10] <Quasar1048> I'll back later...
[19:10] <pepito> ok this is working
[19:10] <Quasar1048> need to log this chat though...
[19:10] <thiebaude> !Pygtk
[19:10] <Flannel> FluxD: Yeah, change from ovh to another mirror: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[19:10] <kayhan> anyone?
[19:10] <mgedmin> FalconStream: if you used Ubuntu's packaging tools (apt-get, or Synaptic) to install gdesklets, all the libraries would have been automatically installed for you
[19:10] <popey> Welshy-Rob: my bad, they have a website, where you can get it
[19:10] <pepito> but why is ot not in the software GUI?
[19:10] <Welshy-Rob> popey, kk
[19:11] <Flannel> FluxD: the rest of my last: I'd try changing your mirror, seeing if that helps it recognize that there's -updates available.  Have you done anything with apt_preferences by any chance? pinning or whatnot?
[19:11] <guntbert> pepito: the important part was "sudo" - you need root rights for installation/removal
[19:11] <FalconStream> I install it from synaptic
[19:11] <mgedmin> FalconStream: if you want a newer version of gdesklets than the one available in Ubuntu repositories, I'd suggest installing Ubuntu's version anyway, just so that you'd get all the libraries you need
[19:11] <kayhan> http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Gcc_issues_in_Intrepid_and_later
[19:11] <FalconStream> I use ubuntu hardy
[19:11] <mgedmin> FalconStream: in that case it's a bug! report it please
[19:11] <kayhan> I am trying to apply these
[19:11] <FluxD> Flannel, this was a default install then all I did was apt-get update and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, nothing else
[19:11] <amee2k> mgedmin: the file gets included in drivers/usb/storage in files usb.c and libusual.c... how do i figure out what i need to recompile?
[19:11] <guntbert> pepito: it certainly is, but lets move on to virtualbox
[19:11] <FluxD> Flannel, oops apt-get upgrade too
[19:12] <kayhan> so at the 3rd line  it says add these to local.conf
[19:12] <mgedmin> amee2k: good question; but since both are inside 'usb/storage', I guess rebuilding that dir ought to be sufficient
[19:12] <FalconStream> ok mgedmin, thanks
[19:12] <kayhan> I couldnt locate it
[19:12] <squarebottle> To anybody: If your computer would boot up to the login screen, but every time you entered the password, the screen blanked and brought you right back to the login screen (as if the xserver crashed and restarted itself), where would you start?
[19:12] <amee2k> hm... good point. i've removed the entry for my device. how do i rebuild a specific module the ubuntu way?
[19:12] <Flannel> FluxD: Yeah, it shouldn't have gotten into this state, I don't know what the deal is.  If it's a fresh install, you might consider reinstalling.  Why not just install the desktop instead of the server? (if you just installed it)
[19:12] <mgedmin> FalconStream: you could try installing python-gtk2 and trying to run gdesklets again; that _should_ fix the import error you're seeing
[19:12] <thiebaude> squarebottle, were you updating?
[19:12] <mgedmin> unless the breakage is with the python-gtk2 package rather than the gdesklets package
[19:13] <pepito> guntbert: when i click on software Add it asks me for the sudo part
[19:13] <pepito> but ok let s get to vbox
[19:13] <guntbert> pepito: please go to system/adminstration/software sources
[19:13] <guntbert> pepito: close Add/remove
[19:13] <FluxD> Flannel, the latest desktop version they have is 8.04 lts, for some reason its always slow, so as I had always done, I install latest ubuntu server and then do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:13] <squarebottle> thiebaude: The computer had not been updated in a long time. I tried updating it just a few minutes ago to see if that would take care of it, but no such luck.
[19:13] <squarebottle> thiebaude: It is 9.04 though.
[19:13] <kayhan> anyone?
[19:14] <pepito> i installed it in french
[19:14] <Flannel> FluxD: Alright.  Well, if this is a fresh install, I suggest reinstalling, and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, then reboot (for kernel
[19:14] <Flannel> FluxD: and *then* install ubuntu-desktop
[19:14] <Flannel> FluxD: It shouldn't make a difference, but obviously something went wonky
[19:14] <pepito> ok it s done
[19:15] <kayhan> guess nonone knows where the local.config is ?
[19:15] <fixxxer> Hi can someone help me I just downloaded snowglobe*.tar.bz2 from http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Open_Source_Portal .How do I install this in ubuntu
[19:15] <kayhan> meant local.conf
[19:16] <squarebottle> kayhan: For what?
[19:16] <fixxxer> Hi anyone I just need to know how to use the make command
[19:16] <guntbert> pepito: (remember to use my nick, so I get highlighted when you say something) - there is a line that ends with (universe), make sure to check that line
[19:17] <squarebottle> kayhan: have you tried entering "whereis locate.config" or "locate locate.config" or "find locate.config" or whatever it is?
[19:17] <kayhan> to apply :
[19:17] <kayhan> http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Gcc_issues_in_Intrepid_and_later
[19:17] <jrib> fixxxer: what do you really want to accomplish?
[19:17] <kayhan> tried find
[19:17] <fixxxer> Hi can someone help me I just downloaded snowglobe*.tar.bz2 from http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Open_Source_Portal .How do I install this in ubuntu
[19:17] <kayhan> but it couldnt
[19:17] <FluxD> Flannel, should I change mirrors and try first or reinstall ?
[19:17] <pepito> guntbert: i opened the software sources
[19:17] <pepito> main universe restricted
[19:17] <pepito> guntbert: main universe restricted multiverse are ticked
[19:17] <pepito> kayhan: sudo slocate local.config
[19:17] <FloodBot2> pepito: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:17] <kayhan> thnx
[19:18] <Flannel> FluxD: If its a fresh install, you'll spend less time reinstalling than fixing I think.
[19:18] <otheatr> kayhan, there is no reference to local.conf in that page I can see
[19:18] <pepito> is there another source I shoud use?
[19:18] <guntbert> pepito: ok, please close that for now - back to command line
[19:18] <jrib> fixxxer: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Get_source_and_compile
[19:18] <jrib> !compile > fixxxer
[19:18] <otheatr> kayhan, never mind, misstyped
[19:18] <pepito> guntbert: ok
[19:18] <fixxxer> ok thanks jrib
[19:18]  * mgedmin hates all browser plugins
[19:18] <FluxD> Flannel, okay so reinstall and apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade then reboot
[19:19] <guntbert> pepito: type sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[19:19] <Flannel> FluxD: yeah well, sudo for both, but yeah
[19:19] <test_> can anyone explain to me why i cannot get pidgin to iconify in stalonetray, is there a setting that i may have over looked (other prog iconify like xchat and gufw)?

[19:20] <mgedmin> test_: I just remember that there _is_ a setting, since I'd toggled it not more than a few months ago
[19:20] <guntbert> !9.10 | eut
[19:20] <amee2k> mgedmin: i'm just making modules on the kernel now...

[19:21] <scott_ino2> does anyone know how to enable numlock on startup without installing any package such as numlockX
[19:21] <krishnaprasad> hi i am using ubuntu dual boot with XP. Just now i had installed Gparted and created a new volume for the ubuntu. but the problem is that i cannot transfer files into this new partion. why? can any one help me?
[19:21] <guntbert> pepito, ok - we will have to choose another server I guess
[19:21] <tater> chroot /mnt/chroot fails even though I have my memory stick mounted to /mnt/chroot
[19:22] <fixxxer> Just want to thank everybody here trying to help everybody else. Thats what make Ubuntu such a great Community. Cheers!!!
[19:22] <sebsebseb> krishnaprasad: what kind of partition?  and transfer files in to it from what?
[19:22] <guntbert> pepito: please open software sources again
[19:22] <krishnaprasad> i had creaed a ext3 partion
[19:23] <krishnaprasad> i want to transfer a folder there
[19:23] <krishnaprasad> from my home directory
[19:23] <matrix_> how can i see which dvd burner  i have on my pc i am using ubuntu
[19:23] <sebsebseb> matrix_: lspci in the terminal
[19:23] <luckydreamer> You can't access ext3 partition from Windows without some additional tools
[19:24] <tater> search in google for windows ext3 driver
[19:24] <sebsebseb> krishnaprasad: having a Linux partition being shared with Windows, not really the best idea
[19:24] <guntbert> pepito: click on the arrow beside "download server", hold the mouse button, select other...
[19:24] <pepito> guntbert done
[19:24] <sebsebseb> krishnaprasad: unless it is a data only partition, and no /home isn't one of those
[19:24] <sebsebseb> krishnaprasad: since the .folders for example
[19:24] <matrix_> http://www.pastebin.ca/1552903   what dvd burner i have
[19:24] <krishnaprasad> i am not do not want it to be a shared folder
[19:24] <pepito> guntbert: i m cheking for the best server
[19:25] <krishnaprasad> actuall i want to install oracle db there
[19:25] <Morydd> I have an external HDD. If I want the ability to store files larger than 4GB and the ability to use it with Windows & Linux both, it has to be NTFS, correct?
[19:25] <guntbert> pepito: and now please choose a server from you country or a neighbor - best server will work too...
[19:25] <krishnaprasad> thats why i removed some hard drive from the Xp portion
[19:25] <squarebottle> Anybody have any ideas for what to do if the computer can get to the login screen just fine, but when a password is entered, the screen blanks for a second and then just goes back to the login screen?
[19:25] <krishnaprasad> and added it to ubunti
[19:25] <krishnaprasad> ubuntu
[19:25] <krishnaprasad> this will not work ?>
[19:25] <matrix_> sebsebseb:http://www.pastebin.ca/1552903 what kind of dvd burner i have
[19:26] <help1> I just installed GPG and am very new to it. I'm trying to encrypt some text in my text editor with the Seahorse plugin but it isn't working (Will give more details later). Is there anyone that can help me?
[19:26] <mgedmin> squarebottle: your login session crashes for some reason
[19:26] <squarebottle> mgedmin: Yes.
[19:26] <mgedmin> squarebottle: you can log in into a text console and read ~/.xsession-errors to get a clue
[19:26] <squarebottle> mgedmin: So what would you do? :)
[19:26] <squarebottle> mgedmin: Alright.
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[19:26] <mgedmin> squarebottle: or you could press f10 and choose a different login session from the menu
[19:27] <mgedmin> in gdm, I mean
[19:27] <matrix_> sebsebseb:http://www.pastebin.ca/1552903 what kind of dvd burner i have
[19:27] <mgedmin> iirc one of those is called "failsafe"
[19:27] <mgedmin> maybe it even is
[19:27] <squarebottle> mgedmin: I've tried KDE and Failsafe already. (It's Kubuntu that I've got.)
[19:27] <bastidraZor> matrix_: your burner is not listed there.
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> matrix_: try: sudo lshw -C disk
[19:28] <matrix_> http://www.pastebin.ca/1552910
[19:28] <matrix_> can you guys see it now
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> :D
[19:29] <matrix_> what is it can i print labels on dvd's with that dvd burner
[19:29] <help1> I just installed GPG and am very new to it. I'm trying to encrypt some text in my text editor with the Seahorse plugin but it isn't working (Will give more details later). Is there anyone that can help me?
[19:29] <e370> this is a stupid question but why does it keep asking for me to enter a password whenever i try installing apps/drivers
[19:29] <help1> e370: Are you Root?
[19:30] <e370> i think so
[19:30] <pepito> guntbert: no best server found, please check your internet connection... then I chose one close to my place, in Barcelona
[19:30] <pepito> guntbert: it tries to fetch things and fails
[19:30] <matrix_> ActionParsnip: are you there
[19:30] <lstarnes> e370: it asks for your password so that it can perform administrative functions
[19:30] <guntbert> e370: you need root rights for those things
[19:30] <pepito> guntbert: ok it seems to work, very slowly though
[19:30] <pepito> 10/22 packages
[19:30] <Anarchy7> hi guys I had vista and cancelled ubuntu installation when %5 now I dont see anything from my vista :( help me please
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> matrix_: sup
[19:30] <scott_ino2> e370, this is how linux was made, you have to have permission/privileges to do certain things
[19:30] <e370> i am the admin :S
[19:30] <e370> its my pc lol
[19:30] <matrix_> ActionParsnip : can i print labels on dvds with that dvd burner that i have
[19:31] <scott_ino2> e370, the pc doesn't know that :-)
[19:31] <lstarnes> e370: even if you are using the admin account. the same rules apply
[19:31] <guntbert> pepito: when you close that dialog the system should try to "reload the sources", thats ok
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> matrix_: i dont think it can. looks like a basic dvd writer
[19:31] <e370> ok so how do i install this as root?
[19:31] <scott_ino2> e370, i have an easy fix for you but i don't recommend it. just login as root
[19:31] <guntbert> !root
[19:31] <squarebottle> mgedmin: ~/.xsession-errors is completely blank.
[19:31] <pepito> guntbert: yes but it fails at a lot of them
[19:31] <Flannel> e370: your user still doesn't have access to modify all the files all the time.  It makes it so you can't accidentally make changes to your computer (or break things)
[19:31] <matrix_> ActionParsnip: so i must have lighscribe dvd burner to burn labels on dvd's
[19:31] <pepito> should i insert the cdrom?
[19:31] <krishnaprasad> hi,
[19:31] <krishnaprasad> I am having a dual boot system with windows and ubuntu. With 20GB linux and 200 gb to windows. How can i increase the ubuntu file system from 20GB to 40 Gb
[19:31] <e370> oh :)
[19:32] <lstarnes> e370: if you input your password, it will execute the process as root
[19:32] <guntbert> !noroot | scott_ino2
[19:32] <e370> i do
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> matrix_: yes, not all drives can do lightscribe
[19:32] <scott_ino2> guntbert, yes yes yes i know
[19:32] <e370> it just gets annoyin entering it all the time lol
[19:32] <guntbert> scott_ino2: :-)
[19:32] <Flannel> krishnaprasad: You'll need a liveCD, because you can't make changes to the filesystem while its in use
[19:32] <squarebottle> mgedmin: Any ideas for the next step?
[19:32] <help1> Is there anyone on here that that can help me with a GPG question?
[19:32] <scott_ino2> guntbert, it never hurt anybody ;-)
[19:32] <scott_ino2> guntbert, i mean sometimes they just gotta find out for themselves why things workt he way they do :-)
[19:32] <krishnaprasad> gparted will not help
[19:32] <krishnaprasad> ?
[19:32] <squarebottle> help1: I think the #gpg room would probably be able to help. I don't really know anything about it though.
[19:32] <guntbert> scott_ino2: you are right - only their systems :-)
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> krishnaprasad: why not create a folder on the ntfs partition and use it as storage? or just use the ntfs as storage without a special folder. You can write to ntfs
[19:33] <help1> squarebottle: I've tried. No one is responding.
[19:33] <jhattara> e370, it just takes one case of destroyed filesystems to teach you that sudo is your friend
[19:33] <krishnaprasad> i dont want windows to access that
[19:33] <krishnaprasad> thats why
[19:33] <lstarnes> help1: it is possible that either nobody knows an answer, someone is currently looking for a possible solution, or we don't have enough details
[19:34] <Flannel> krishnaprasad: gparted will help, you just need to use it from a liveCD
[19:34] <e370> whats sudo
[19:34] <mgedmin> squarebottle: /var/log/gdm/* would be where I look next
[19:34] <Flannel> !sudo | e370
[19:34] <e370> im a total ubuntu noob
[19:34] <squarebottle> mgedmin: Alright. One second.
[19:34] <guntbert> pepito: is your internet access slow?
[19:34] <vipil> hi krishnaprasad
[19:34] <mgedmin> squarebottle: btw since you're using kubuntu, maybe it's /var/log/kdm.*?  I'm not familiar with kdm any more
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> krishnaprasad: you can resize in the livecd. Make sure your backups are up to date before starting in case it goes wrong
[19:34] <mgedmin> I used it a long time ago
[19:35] <krishnaprasad> i installed gparted
[19:35] <krishnaprasad> here
[19:35] <jhattara> e370, when using terminal sudo is the command you enter before the command you want to run as root
[19:35] <krishnaprasad> in the normal system
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> krishnaprasad: writing to the ntfs is much less risky
[19:35] <Anarchy7> hi guys I had vista and cancelled ubuntu installation when %5 now I dont see anything from my vista :( help me please
[19:35] <Flannel> krishnaprasad: Right, but you'll need to use a liveCD
[19:35] <e370> ah kwl
[19:35] <help1> lstarnes: The issue is that I have Seahorse installed with a private key set up. When I go in gedit and try to encrypt the text, it says that I don't have a private key to encrpyt with and it opens Seahorse so I can create one, even though I already have one.
[19:35] <krishnaprasad> ok i have the CD
[19:35] <pepito> guntbert: OH YES
[19:35] <krishnaprasad> tell me the procedure once
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> krishnaprasad: that wont  work, tyou cant resize mounted partitions, the disk will be marked as busy so it wont work. Thats why you need to boot to live cd
[19:35] <vipil> how to make richo web cam work on jaunty
[19:35] <Flannel> krishnaprasad: Boot to it, use gparted to resize the partitions, reboot to your regular system
[19:35] <squarebottle> mgedmin: Wait, gdm is the gnome login manager. kdm is what I'm using (it's Kubuntu). Either way, both that location and the same thing but with kdm instead of gdm don't seem to exist.
[19:36] <theatro> Anarchy7, did you install ontop of your vista partition?
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> vipil: lsusb will give you an 8 character ID you can websearch
[19:36] <krishnaprasad> ok
[19:36] <Anarchy7> I choosed thefirst option
[19:36] <Anarchy7> then forward ...
[19:36] <mgedmin> squarebottle: there must be log files somewhere!
[19:36] <vipil> thnx buddy
[19:36] <scott_ino2> e370, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:36] <vipil> let me try it out
[19:36] <vipil>  and ll let u know
[19:36] <Anarchy7> I saw it saying formatting partitions then I cancelled it
[19:36] <theatro> Anarchy7, the blue pill?
[19:36] <squarebottle> mgedmin: Heh, yes, there must, but where I wonder? Aroo!
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> krishnaprasad: do some research into what is involved, dont just blunder in and hope as you will ruin your data
[19:37] <Bllasae> how would I play a disk game on Ubuntu?
[19:37] <felipedie> ops -- blz galera boa tarde
[19:37] <gdoteof> i am getting Failed to execute child process "gnome-screenshot" (No such file or directory) when i try and take a screen shot
[19:37] <gdoteof> how do i install that package?
[19:37] <gdoteof> apt-get install gnome-screenshot doesn't do it
[19:37] <Anarchy7> what can I do now ...
[19:37] <felipedie> opa errei de chat : )
[19:37] <Anarchy7> they said ubuntu wouldnt delete vista ...
[19:37] <theatro> Anarchy7, do you have a windows dvd? you can try some rescue feature..
[19:37] <guntbert> pepito: that might be a problem, you can repeat the "reload" process in the command line (after it has finished in the GUI, if there are errrors), just type sudo apt-get update (then...)
[19:37] <mgedmin> squarebottle: also, login session is a set of shell scripts; under /etc/gdm/, under /etc/X11/Xsession.d, under /etc/kdm (I presume)
[19:37] <krishnaprasad> Let me explain what i have tried i deleted one of the windows free partion and formated its as ext3, now i have the partition but i cannot create anything there
[19:37] <Bllasae> how would I play a disk game on Ubuntu?
[19:38] <mgedmin> squarebottle: you can always sprinkle those with echo 'reached point 47' >> /tmp/debug.log
[19:38] <theatro> Anarchy7, or "recover" I dont know how they call it
[19:38] <krishnaprasad> why this wont work ?
[19:38] <Anarchy7> I have a vista dvd ..
[19:38] <squarebottle> mgedmin: gdm even for kde?
[19:38] <mgedmin> krishnaprasad: by default only root can create files in empty filesystems
[19:38] <theatro> Anarchy7, boot with it, see if it can do anything
[19:38] <mgedmin> krishnaprasad: you can change the permissions or ownership to let regular user accounts create files in there
[19:38] <Anarchy7> I dont think so
[19:39] <Anarchy7> but I will try
[19:39] <krishnaprasad> how to do that
[19:39] <krishnaprasad> ?
[19:39] <mgedmin> krishnaprasad: in a terminal you can use chown/chmod; in the GUI there must be some way, but I've never used the GUI for that so I'm not sure
[19:40] <e370> my labtec webcam pro isnt working :( its just a green screen on pidgin and skype for linux....
[19:40] <mgedmin> sudo nautilus would've worked
[19:40] <mgedmin> but krishnaprasad is already gone, so I can't tell him...
[19:40] <lstarnes> mgedmin: gksudo should be used with graphical programs, not sudo
[19:40] <bastidraZor> !gksudo > mgedmin
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> mgedmin: sudo nautilus is incorrect, gksudo nautilus is correct
[19:41] <test_> i'm using openbox with stalonetray, and its said that obconf can allow you pick the position stalonetray sits on the desktop but anytime i set it to bottom right it goes to bottom left, can anyone help me out?
[19:42] <mgedmin> ActionParsnip, bastidraZor, thank you, I always forget that
[19:43] <avb> guys, what is the best supported PCI wireless card?
[19:43] <FluxD> Flannel, I found the problem
[19:43] <scott_ino2> avb, try and get something witht he Atheros chipset IMO
[19:43] <Flannel> FluxD: What was it?
[19:43] <FluxD> Flannel, the mirrors were not getting updated, I tried with a different mirror and no dependancy problems
[19:43] <avb> scott_ino2: some time ago i heard that there is some issues with it or latest kernels are dealing good with them?
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> avb: my Atheros AR5001X+ based card (netgear wrt54g) works out of the box
[19:44] <scott_ino2> I mean ive never had a problem with my netgear atheros based card
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | avb
[19:45] <cary__> how do you change resolution by command line? because the desply GUI isnt working for me
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> avb: i dont buy any other card
[19:45] <christoph__> How can i save the output of sed .... in a var (bash) .. var= sed ... doesn't work.
[19:46] <Flannel> christoph__: enclose the command in $(command)
[19:46] <Wang2> hello.. I have auto suspend set for 60. soif I don't do anything it suspends after 60 minutes. I have a issue though, if I wakeup the system via WOL remotely and SSH in. it still suspends after 60 minutes, how doI prevent that?
[19:46] <Flannel> christoph__: then it's output is substituted there
[19:47] <christoph__> Ah ok, Thanks Flannel.
[19:47] <Morydd> well... that sucks. my new ext. HDD doesn't show up when I run 'df'
[19:47] <avb> ActionParsnip: cool. ill try then. probably u will recommend any special model, or any atheros  will be fine?
[19:47] <scott_ino2> actually since im in here... does anyone know what the deal is with fglrx drivers and suspend
[19:48] <scott_ino2> why does it seem like this hasn't worked... ever
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> avb: most atheros are good, some arent
[19:48] <avb> ok
[19:48] <Tm0> Hello
[19:49] <Anarchy7> when installing ubuntu I have lost everything from windows ... is there anyway to bring it back ?
[19:50] <mgedmin> :(
[19:50] <e370> Anarchy7: no.
[19:50] <acicula> Anarchy7: depends if you removed the partition or not
[19:50] <Anarchy7> I choosed the first option remove vista loading ...

[19:51] <Wisnia75> sorry My From is poland ;/
[19:52] <acicula> Anarchy7: probably not then, sometimes you can recover partitions, but it generally needs some hands on expertise
[19:52] <Wisnia75> What is new in Ubuntu 9.10??
[19:52] <Anarchy7> how can I recover them >*
[19:52] <Wisnia75> lol
[19:53] <e370> best bet is to use it as a 2ndry drive
[19:53] <Pici> Wisnia75: 9.10 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1
[19:53] <Wisnia75> ehh
[19:53] <Wisnia75> what is date for final ubuntu 9.10? :P
[19:53] <Welshy-Rob> is there a way i can playgames from disks on ubuntu? e.g the sims 2
[19:53] <Pici> !9.10 | Wisnia75

[19:54] <shane2peru> is there a way to make dvdstyler recognize ogg?
[19:54] <guntbert> Wisnia75: don't announce here please
[19:54] <Wisnia75> ubotto thanks
[19:54]  * Wisnia75 :P
[19:54] <Welshy-Rob> so there is currently no way for me to play games then?
[19:55] <Pici> !wine | Welshy-Rob
[19:55] <e370> Anarchy7:  use the drive with the files as a 2ndry drive, buy a new small hdd to install xp on, set it as master and then u culd be able to recover the files on the drive there on
[19:55] <Wisnia75> Windows is Shit :P

[19:56] <phuson> www-data 28656 34.0  0.7   4876  2732 ?        S    09:31  49:04 -sh
[19:56] <acicula> a shell, spawned by apache, probably not good :P
[19:56] <ryanrhee90> lol
[19:56] <phuson> apparently it's running perl and occupying up all my CPU :(

[19:56] <steph_> Hi , anyone has an EEE 1008HA here? (It doesnt swith from speaker to headphone)
[19:56] <acicula> phuson: got any webcode that spawns perl via sh ?
[19:56] <phuson> viewed in top, 28656 www-data  20   0  4876 2732 1312 S 43.3  0.8  49:28.88 perl
[19:57] <Toffe> ^^
[19:57] <ryanrhee90> http://paste.ubuntu.com/264594/
[19:57] <ryanrhee90> check this out
[19:57] <ryanrhee90> no modules
[19:57] <ryanrhee90> i mean. wrong kernel version?
[19:57] <ryanrhee90> modprobe is confused
[19:57] <ryanrhee90> http://paste.ubuntu.com/264594/
[19:57] <phuson> acicula: i don't think so, but i think somebody is trying to enter/attack my server?
[19:57] <FloodBot2> ryanrhee90: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:57] <mgedmin> phuson: it looks like somebody broke into your web server
[19:58] <ryanrhee90> help anyone? :(
[19:58] <acicula> phuson: either that or you have haywire webcode, dont think apache spawns perl byitself
[19:58] <phuson> mgedmin: i have iptables to only allow port 80, and my custom ssh port (which requires pubkey/privatekey to enter)
[19:58] <mgedmin> phuson, acicula: a *login shell* for user www-data is definitely not normal
[19:59] <guntbert> ryanrhee90: please state your question all in *one* line, if you have to give log files or program output use pastebin
[19:59] <mgedmin> phuson: if you've got vulnerable PHP scripts, say, then port 80 is enough to break in
[19:59] <guntbert> !enter | ryanrhee90
[19:59] <phuson> mgedmin, acicula: any ideas on how to fix this? :(
[19:59] <guntbert> !paste | ryanrhee90
[19:59] <ryanrhee90> okay ubottu. modprobe fails when I try to create a tun interface. Here are some commands I tried: http://paste.ubuntu.com/264594/
[19:59] <ryanrhee90> This is for setting up a VPN server
[19:59] <mgedmin> phuson: kill all processes owned by www-data, then investigate how the break-in occurred
[20:00] <mgedmin> phuson: reading apache's logs may hive a clue; look for suspicious URLs
[20:00] <apoleo12> Im in Live CD can I log in as root?
[20:00] <phuson> mgedmin: i'm leaving it up so i can try to figure out more about that particular process
[20:00] <iceroot> apoleo12: yes but you dont need root-account, you need sudo
[20:00] <guntbert> apoleo12: on the command line, type sudo <your command>
[20:01] <nuxior> Is there a way to repair windows from gparted? vista doesn't boot anymore
[20:01] <nuxior> I tried the vista installation disk but it doesn't detect windows to repair it
[20:01] <knittl_> hi, i'm having problems with dpkg
[20:01] <ryanrhee90> modprobe fails when I try to create a tun interface. Here are some commands I tried: http://paste.ubuntu.com/264594/
[20:01] <knittl_> there seems to be dependency conflicts
[20:01] <phuson> mgedmin: i have darkstat and i see this with 2gb going into my server, <IP_ADDRESS>	sub205ip34.conet.net
[20:01] <knittl_> how can i resolve these?
[20:01] <guntbert> !repeat | ryanrhee90
[20:01] <acicula> mgedmin: it's - sh, how do you figure it's a login shell
[20:01] <mgedmin> '-sh'
[20:01] <iceroot> !details | knittl_
[20:02] <mgedmin> acicula: it's a convention: the process name of the login shell is '-sh', while all subshells are just 'sh'
[20:02] <knittl_> iceroot: dpkg has dependency problems with a lot of packages, i wrote that already
[20:02] <phuson> acicula, mgedmin: yup it's '-sh'
[20:02] <knittl_> or broken packages, i don't know
[20:02] <acicula> mgedmin: ah, so it's not a sub process of apache but it's own top process?
[20:02] <mgedmin> acicula: probably a subprocess; that doesn't matter
[20:02] <steph_> anyone with an asus EEE 1008 HA ?  :)
[20:03] <iceroot> knittl_: and because of "you dont know" and " not a error message posted" i wrote that with details
[20:03] <mgedmin> acicula: it's just that no cgi script or anything will ever create a process called '-sh'
[20:03] <knittl_> also i'm seeing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/xorg-server/+bug/403021
[20:03] <phuson> mgedmin, acicula: i will look into my apache log to see what spawn it
[20:03] <knittl_> iceroot: error message: A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
[20:03] <knittl_> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libpam-modules:
[20:03] <iceroot> knittl_: karmic is alpha and not supported here
[20:03] <knittl_> etc. a lot of packages
[20:03] <mgedmin> phuson: I assume you did not do a sudo -u www-data -i ?
[20:03] <acicula> mgedmin: well they could, but it seems a bit of an odd way to start perl i think :P
[20:03] <mgedmin> phuson: as that would also spawn a login shell
[20:03] <Pici> knittl_: Karmic support is in #ubuntu+1
[20:03] <knittl_> iceroot: yes, but in ubuntu+1 nobody wants to tell me how to use dpkg
[20:04] <apoleo12> Right but the problem is that I cannot copy my home folder to another harddrive physical to physical hdd
[20:04] <phuson> mgedmin: no i did not run that command
[20:04] <knittl_> quite silent there
[20:04] <Pici> knittl_: ask your question *one one line* there and be patient
[20:04] <phuson> mgedmin, acicula: it seems to me like whoever it just wants to spawn this perl/shell process to slow down my server, since i dont think they actually got in
[20:05] <knittl_> Pici: one one?
[20:05] <mgedmin> phuson: if they can run shell & perl on your web server, they can do bad things already
[20:05] <Pici> knittl_: on one
[20:05] <sebsebseb> !testdisk |  Anarchy7
[20:05] <mgedmin> maybe they can't get root (if you've updated your kernel and rebooted, lately)
[20:05] <mgedmin> but still, they could be breaking into other people's servers using your as a proxy
[20:05] <phuson> mgedmin:  :( good point
[20:05] <acicula> mgedmin: if they can start perl via sh they are pretty much in
[20:05] <sebsebseb> Anarchy7: there's a program called testdisk which can recover data from deleted partitions
[20:05] <apoleo12> ice: i'm trying to move the directories from one partition to andother but Im getting errors saying no read access...?
[20:05] <mgedmin> or sending out spam
[20:06] <zippert> om ja ska ha ubuntu installerat på en SSD disk vilket filfsystem ska jag köra med då?
[20:06] <acicula> err phuson , but erm, you should be able to see if perl is executing a script
[20:06] <sebsebseb> !se |  zippert
[20:06] <mgedmin> phuson: after you killall -u www-data, you may want to install and run chkrootkit
[20:06] <phuson> mgedmin: i see, i think its the latter, cuz ive been seeing a lot of traffic going out during the spawned perl process
[20:06] <knittl_> Pici: on one makes more sense ;) yes, did that already. i'm pinning down the error now. libpam-modules depends on something that isn't there
[20:06]  * mgedmin needs to go now
[20:06] <iceroot> knittl_: write a question, post the full error to pastebin
[20:07] <phuson> mgedmin: yup i installed that over the weekend, but i go tthe perl thing again today :(
[20:07] <zippert> sebastien,  ja de är kanske inte en så dum ide, tänkte mest på om ext 4 kommer slita förjävligt på min disk.
[20:07] <sebsebseb> zippert: monga mensor het vet inte  Svenska, men jag gör, ock den här kannalen är engelska
[20:07] <acicula> phuson: if they run it through your web server and dont do anything else chkrootkit wont tell you it's even there
[20:08] <acicula> though it's defenitly good to check if they did more then just run that perl process
[20:08] <sebsebseb> zippert: many people here don't know Swedish, but I do, and this channal is English
[20:08] <Anarchy7> hi guys which data recovery tool do you suggest for formatted pcs
[20:08] <phuson> acicula: yup i will run it again to see if they were messing with anything else
[20:08] <phuson> acicula: but i will also check my apache log to see what might spawn it :(
[20:09] <zippert> sebastien,  aohh  sorry wrong chanel
[20:09] <pepito> guntbert: my internet connection is SO slow... i updated properly the sources.
[20:10] <mimis> i installed texlive from terminal "texlive-full", but how can i run it?
[20:10] <zippert> What type off file system are the best för Solid state disks for my laptop.
[20:10] <pepito> guntbert: instead of installing such huge packages, could you help me with the aac and a52 support for reading WMA and m4a files?
[20:10] <pepito> just to see what i m missing...
[20:10] <jrib> mimis: what are you expecting to do with it?
[20:10] <earthling> i forgot where/how to identify a preferred version of an application.  ie:  python 2.4,2.5 and 2.6 are installed but I want the system to select version 2.5 when python is needed.
[20:10] <iceroot> zippert: ext2 or ext3 without journal
[20:10] <mimis> write latex
[20:11] <mgedmin> phuson: chkrootkit doesn't look for vulnerable web apps or anything like that; you can run it manually to search for known rootkits that may have been installed and are now running
[20:11] <jrib> mimis: as usual then, open a terminal and type "latex file_with_latex_code.tex"
[20:11] <phuson> mgedmin: i got this running chrootkit right now, Checking `bindshell'...                                     INFECTED (PORTS:  1524 4000 6667 31337)
[20:11] <mgedmin> phuson: it's to makie sure the attacker hasn't left a back door after you've fixed the original vulnerability
[20:11] <iceroot> mimis: if you need a good latex-gui install kile (kde-program)
[20:11] <jrib> mimis: most people use an editor that does this for them
[20:11] <phuson> mgedmin: i see
[20:11] <guntbert> pepito: nice that worked - sorry about your connection - I cannot help you with multimedia issues, but have a look at what ubottu will tell you

[20:11] <merculiv> can someone help me with a mouse issue in ubuntu netbook remix?
[20:12] <mgedmin> phuson: some admins say that if you've been broken in, reinstalling is the only safe option, as, in theory, someone could write an undetectable rootkits
[20:12] <guntbert> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | pepito
[20:12] <nuxior> Any ideas about how to fix a vista boot issue from ubuntu? GParted failed and Windows won't boot anymore, but I can still see the windows partition contents
[20:12] <phuson> mgedmin: i see
[20:12] <nuxior> I was attempting to resize the windows partition
[20:12] <guntbert> pepito: thats a small package :-)
[20:13] <phuson> mgedmin, acicula: seems like i got a few infected ports in bindshell, Checking `bindshell'...                                     INFECTED (PORTS:  1524 4000 6667 31337)
[20:13] <mgedmin> phuson: well, if they didn't get root, killall -u www-data should fix all of that
[20:13] <mgedmin> phuson: if they did get root, I'd reinstall
[20:13] <austin_work> anyone know why udev would have problems mounting a usb drive from a script? Mounting it manually works fine...
[20:13] <mgedmin> phuson: also, sometimes chkrootkit produces false positives -- things that look suspicious to it but aren't actually
[20:14] <austin_work> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7892769#post7892769
[20:14] <merculiv> there a way to fix my mouse issue in ubuntu netbook remix?
[20:14] <mgedmin> phuson: in this case I'm sure you've got an infection -- port 31337 is "leet" in hackspeak
[20:14] <Bllasae> lol
[20:14] <jrib> merculiv: "mouse issue" is a bit vague
[20:14] <pepito> guntbert:  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh  command not foung

[20:15] <Bllasae> wildcard
[20:15] <Bllasae> evening
[20:15] <phuson> mgedmin: so i guess my question to you is how can i fix this and if i do reinstall my server, how should i prevent it in the future :(
[20:16] <guntbert> pepito: as I said, no experience with multimedia here - but did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats and install the necessary packages?
[20:17] <earthling> gee, thanks for nothin guys...
[20:17] <guntbert> pepito: you will especially need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:17] <pepito> guntbert: i m on it... thanks for all
[20:17] <pepito> guntbert: installing packages now
[20:17] <pepito> i ll let virtualbox-ose and texlive for the night
