[14:09] <oCean_> DarkKnight: well, postfix is a way to send mail from your machine.
[14:10] <George2> ok, so i've installed ubtuntu-restricted-extras, but still get jumpy playback :/
[14:10] <quibbler> lenswipe: do you have the medibuntu repos
[14:10] <kale> George2: what are you playing?
[14:10] <lenswipe> quibbler: idk, how do i check?
[14:10] <George2> kale - an mp4
[14:10] <oCean_> DarkKnight: actually it's called a "transfer agent". Using that, mailclients can send mail from your computer. Can't you skip that part in the setup? If you don't need the mail function
[14:10] <kale> George2: is that video?
[14:10] <quibbler> lenswipe: look in your software sources
[14:11] <Lunks> Hi, I'd like to force Ubuntu to change its behaviour on my CPU, it seems it has lost its Speedstep abilities
[14:11] <lenswipe> quibbler: just under synaptic?
[14:11] <DarkKnight> oCean_; i dont need that if its not necessary for drupal
[14:11] <George2> m\ybe it's my video driver, and yes kale
[14:11] <DarkKnight> oCean_; should i cancel it
[14:11] <Lunks> I'd like to change its behaviour to conservative or something, or at least know how to do it to test it. :P
[14:11] <kale> George2: are you using mplayer?
[14:11] <Lunks> Right now it's awfully stuck at max cpu freq and no need of it.
[14:11] <oCean_> DarkKnight: I'm not sure if 'cancel' is the cancellation of the install or just the postfix setup
[14:11] <quibbler> lenswipe: system-administration-software sources
[14:12] <lenswipe> quibbler: no it doesntlook like i do have the medibuntu repos
[14:12] <George2> kale totem and vlc
[14:12] <erUSUL> Lunks: sudo cpufreq-set -g ondemand
[14:12] <kale> George2: sorry cannot help on those, i can on mplayer
[14:12] <Lunks> erUSUL: thanks a lot
[14:12] <quibbler> lenswipe:  go here and add them: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[14:13] <lenswipe> quibbler: thanks
[14:13] <DarkKnight> oCean_; i just skipped that...now its configuring drupal5
[14:13] <oCean_> DarkKnight: ok
[14:13] <oCean_> DarkKnight: you're almost there
[14:13] <Lunks> erUSUL: thanks!
[14:14] <quibbler> lenswipe: then you are done doing that go to synaptic and install libdvdcss2
[14:14] <erUSUL> Lunks: no problem
[14:14] <DarkKnight> oCean_; there's a text box with: configuring database  for drupal5 with dbconfig-common...its already selected...should i click Forward
[14:14] <Lunks> erUSUL: weirdly, setting it to 'ondemand' kept it on 100%, so I manually chose 800Mhz and it's down at last
[14:14] <Lunks> erUSUL: and it *stills* go to 2GHz from time to time
[14:15] <Lunks> It appears there are 2 things managing the same problem, does it sound reasonable, erUSUL? :P
[14:15] <oCean_> DarkKnight: don't really know, seems to be default (right) choice at this point
[14:15] <erUSUL> Lunks: really do not know what may be happening my athlon64 x2 works well with ondemand. i do not have to force it
[14:15] <DarkKnight> oCean_; soclick Forwar?
[14:15] <DarkKnight> oCean_; soclick Forward?
[14:16] <oCean_> yep
[14:16] <mohan_> hi
[14:16] <Lunks> erUSUL: thanks =)
[14:16] <DarkKnight> oCean_; and database mysql???
[14:16] <lenswipe> quibbler: ok i added the medibuntu repos
[14:16] <lenswipe> quibbler: what now?
[14:16] <oCean_> DarkKnight: If you have installed mysql and its running, yes
[14:16] <Starkie> anyone know how to get usb mouserate poll to 500hz in ubuntu ?
[14:16] <mohan_> i have some partition on ntfs with lots of data on it.. Is it possible to convert the partition into ext3 from ntfs directly?
[14:17] <erUSUL> Lunks: which cpu are you using?
[14:17] <quibbler> lenswipe: then you are done doing that go to synaptic and install libdvdcss2 and w32codecs
[14:17] <lenswipe> quibbler: thanks
[14:17] <Lunks> erUSUL: It's a Turion, single-core
[14:17] <rubydiamond> Hi guys..
[14:17] <helo> how do i change my qt app fonts? (kdevelop)
[14:17] <erUSUL> mohan_: without loosing the data nor doing a backup?
[14:17] <erUSUL> helo: install qtconfig
[14:17] <mohan_> yes.. is ti possible erUSUL?
[14:17] <Lunks> hmm looks like it's somehow 'fixed', erUSUL
[14:17] <DarkKnight> oCean_; which webservers should be configured automatically...there's a list
[14:18] <erUSUL> mohan_: no; i'm afraid it is not
[14:18] <erUSUL> !yay | Lunks
[14:18] <Lunks> not sure what I did, but now the cpufreq panel works again, erUSUL... thanks =)
[14:18] <oCean_> DarkKnight: it's all up to you. I think default is best choice at the moment. Through backend it can all be modified after install
[14:18] <mohan_> ok.. is there any way to increase my linux ext3 partition size with empty partition?
[14:19] <DarkKnight> oCean_; apache is default...but i have installed apache2 as well
[14:19] <mohan_> i am low on diskspace in ubuntu..
[14:19] <erUSUL> mohan_: yes a resize can be lossless (the empty space mast be at the endo of the ext3 partition
[14:19] <lenswipe> quibbler: synaptic cant find the libdvdcss2 codec, it just comes back with no results :(
[14:19] <khirr> help wieh this script please
[14:19] <khirr> http://tinypaste.com/7fcff
[14:19] <kale> i'm unable to completely remove a package, can you help?
[14:19] <mohan_> ok.. thanks erUSUL.. which software should i use to do resize?
[14:19] <erUSUL> mohan_: gparted can do it graphically
[14:19] <kale>  LANG="C" dpkg --remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-15-generic
[14:20] <kale> FATAL: Could not open '/boot/System.map-2.6.22-15-generic': No such file or directory
[14:20] <mohan_> thank you erUSUL...
[14:20] <quibbler> lenswipe: search for libdvdcss
[14:20] <DarkKnight> kale; go to repos and right click and select completely remove
[14:20] <oCean_> DarkKnight: err.. I only have apache2 installed. It seems odd that apache1 is installed. Maybe it means apache = apache2?
[14:20] <erUSUL> mohan_: do it from a livecd. you must not edit mounted partitions
[14:20] <kale> DarkKnight: err.... click?
[14:20] <lstarnes> kale: try doing sudo touch /boot/System.map-2.6.22-15-generic
[14:20] <mohan_> hmmm... ok.. i will.. thank you..
[14:21] <DarkKnight> oCean; i get an error installing drupal5  what do i do????
[14:21] <lianimator> how do I (on startup) run a script from the terminal with a specified terminal profile?
[14:21] <George2> hwo do i determine what video drivers i have?
[14:21] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: it depends on the error
[14:21] <kale> lstarnes: it tries to run update-initramfs
[14:21] <XB23> exim or postfix thats the question
[14:21] <XB23> hmm
[14:21] <kale> lstarnes: Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.22-15-generic
[14:21] <lstarnes> kale: which version of the ubuntu kernel are you using?
[14:21] <DarkKnight> kale; ya point your mouse on the box beside the package you wnat to uninstall and you can just click as well
[14:21] <lstarnes> kale: *linux kernel
[14:22] <kale> lstarnes: right now this is running: Linux radiator 2.6.24-22-generic #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 18:32:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[14:22] <lenswipe> quibbler: any ideas?
[14:22] <George2> DarkKnight: ask in #drupal-support ;)
[14:22] <kale> DarkKnight: no gui
[14:22] <DarkKnight> lstarnes; well i faced this many times before..dont know why
[14:22] <quibbler> lenswipe: do you have 32 or 64 bit ubuntu?
[14:22] <lenswipe> quibbler: 32
[14:23] <DarkKnight> kale; that's bad
[14:23] <hanasaki> hello all - in general what do your hardrives run at for temperature?  average? max? whats a reasonable max sustained ?
[14:23] <kale> DarkKnight: thats good!
[14:23] <quibbler> lenswipe: you can't find w32codecs?
[14:23] <XPS_M1330> what's the simplest way to install KDE4 from Ubuntu?
[14:23] <mohan_> How to take backup of entire softwares i compiled and using in ubuntu? (Precaution: If my hard disk crashes!!)
[14:23] <lenswipe> quibbler: didnt try w32 ill try that now
[14:23] <kale> DarkKnight: try for once to compare the time loading that gui stuff, to just getting the job done
[14:23] <hanasaki> quibbler:  fyi... w32codecs does seem to be missgin in jaunty
[14:24] <DarkKnight> kale; faster then typing commands all the time
[14:24] <lenswipe> quibbler: the only thing synaptic finds is mingw32, min232-binutils and mingw32-runtime
[14:24] <Slart> mohan_: there are many backup solutions.. type !backup to get some bot info
[14:24] <mohan_> !backup
[14:24] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: I find that the commands are often faster
[14:24] <quibbler> lenswipe: you are in ubuntu 9.04?
[14:24] <lenswipe> quibbler: nope, 8.04
[14:25] <kale> DarkKnight: how long time does it take you to tell the gui to install bwm? it takes me 2 secs "apt-get install bvm" <hit return>
[14:25] <quibbler> lenswipe: are you sure you have the medibuntu repos
[14:25] <Slart> mohan_: if we're talking about commercial deployment here I would go with a complete system backup.. disk imaging or something like that, for home use I would just recompile
[14:25] <lenswipe> quibbler: i did!
[14:25] <bernz> mohan_, one easy way to do it is to divide your main disk into two "halves", and keep duplicates of your partitions (copy the entire partition to the spare); if anything goes horribly wrong, you can boot from a live gparted cd and copy the backup partitions back over the main ones, restoring to an earlier time. if you mirror your "good" partitions weekly, it should be good enough
[14:25] <DarkKnight> lstarnes;there's not many people there who can help me
[14:25] <quibbler> did you reload after adding it
[14:26] <DarkKnight> lstarnes;there's not many people there who can help me in that channel
[14:26] <Slart> hanasaki: hang on.. let me check
[14:26] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: what was the error message?
[14:26] <lenswipe> quibbler: any ideas?
[14:27] <Slart> hanasaki: between 30 and 40 degrees celsius
[14:27] <DarkKnight> lstarnes;no reason givem; its just asking me whether i want to abort or retry...i tried the retry many times before...but i never got it
[14:27] <bernz> mohan_, but what i suggested *does* cut your "useful" disk space in half, plus it requires you to resize existing partitions to make room for creating the spares, which can take some time
[14:27] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: does it say anything else?
[14:27] <quibbler> lenswipe: if you have the repors then w32codecs is there in synaptic
[14:27] <hanasaki> Slart:  hmm mine run at 45C
[14:27] <achilles>  hello, I have a directory called Sales, here is the line drwxrwx---  3 nobody MnS     4096 2009-02-26 07:58 Sales ,and I have a user called Saler , in the group MnS but he can't access
[14:27] <lenswipe> quibbler: well not for me
[14:28] <George2> where are the video driver settings for ubuntu, i can't find them anywhere
[14:28] <hanasaki> Slart:  what about your CPU temps?
[14:28] <quibbler> lenswipe: pastebin your source list and give me the url
[14:28] <lenswipe> alright gimme a second
[14:29] <bernz> mohan_, oh, and obviously, the most significant drawback to my suggestion: if the disk controller fails, or an otherwise integral part of the physical disk fails, your backup partitions may be inaccessible (but not really to a professional recovery service, in the case of really important losses)
[14:29] <lenswipe> quibbler: where can i get them as a text file?
[14:29] <George2> bernz - but pro recovery services are mucho expensive
[14:29] <quibbler> lenswipe: do you know pastebin?
[14:29] <DarkKnight> lstarnes;i went to the help and i got this error:  ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MYSQL server through socket 'var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[14:29] <tritium> lenswipe: /etc/apt/sources.list is a text fine
[14:29] <Iceman_B^Ltop> does anyone know if how I can quickly set a disk quota for a newly created user ?
[14:29] <Slart> hanasaki: not really sure.. there are several sensors.. 50-60 degrees celsius, I think
[14:29] <lenswipe> quibbler: yes
[14:29] <bernz> George2, oh yeah, i'm talking about like... an artist's masterpiece or something you'd actually want to save, as opposed to stuff that can always be recreated easily
[14:30] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: is mysql running?
[14:30] <lenswipe> quibbler: what im asking is where can i get my source list as a text file to put into pastebin.
[14:30] <DarkKnight> lstarnes;i dont know
[14:30] <DarkKnight> lstarnes;what do i need to do?
[14:30] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: run ps aux | grep mysqld
[14:30] <quibbler> lenswipe: tritium told you  /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:31] <lenswipe> quibbler: oh, never heard it
[14:31] <lenswipe> quibbler: saw it even
[14:31] <DarkKnight> lstarnes; roshan   11047  0.0  0.0   3004   744 pts/0    R+   20:01   0:00 grep mysqld
[14:31]  * bernz simply uses something like 'cp -a' to an external HD for backups ATM (rsync when i have more time to set it up)
[14:31] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: then mysqld isn't running.  Do you have mysql installed?
[14:32] <George2> darknight - use xampp - trust me
[14:32] <George2> if you install apache and mysql, you'll run into clean url problems on drupal
[14:32] <xiroV> How do i make an external screen work with my ubuntu-laptop?
[14:32] <George2> Darknight - ^^
[14:32] <lstarnes> George2: I haven't had those issues when using apache and mysql
[14:32] <DarkKnight> lstarnes;yes i checked it says unable to connect mysql when its trying to install drupal
[14:32] <lenswipe> quibbler: http://www.pastebin.com/m57e02f9
[14:32] <bernz> Iceman_B^Ltop, i guess it requires a little background knowledge about 'quota' ('sudo apt-get install quota', 'man quota' maybe)
[14:32] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: try running sudo invoke-rc.d mysql start
[14:33] <marcos> hello, I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a ibook g3 (powerpc) I have a blank screen at startup; looking some posts on-line the only solution is reinstall 8.04, but I'm doing a network install, there is no other solutions? I can't do the network install again. at the boot prompt just say linux or old the options Linux nosplash video=radeonfb won't work
[14:33] <quibbler> lenswipe: the link is to an empty pastebin
[14:33] <bernz> Iceman_B^Ltop, (in other words, answer is probably "no", nothing quick)
[14:33] <gaby> #ubuntufr
[14:34] <tritium> gaby: /j #ubuntu-fr
[14:34] <DarkKnight> lstarnes;invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/mysql not found.
[14:34] <marcos> hello, I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a ibook g3 (powerpc) I have a blank screen at startup; looking some posts on-line the only solution is reinstall 8.04, but I'm doing a network install, there is no other solutions? I can't do the network install again. at the boot prompt just say linux or old the options Linux nosplash video=radeonfb won't work
[14:34] <tritium> marcos: no need to repeat
[14:34] <gaby> thank you ^^
[14:35] <lstarnes> DarkKnight: you might want to try installing mysql-server-5.0 again
[14:35] <xiroV> how do i make an external screen work with my ubuntu-laptop?
[14:35] <bernz> marcos, if you don't object to KDE, maybe 'kubuntu' will work -- i had better luck with it for my laptop (though a PC one) than with ubuntu
[14:35] <aurax> sup all
[14:35] <lenswipe> quibbler: hhm weird, sec
[14:35] <bernz> marcos, (that is, if you can try another distro)
[14:35] <Scunizi> xiroV: does the laptop have an nvidia board installed?
[14:36] <xiroV> Scunizi, ye
[14:36] <aurax> I'm trying to install pptp client with multi NIC's, any idea how to bind the pptp client correctly?
[14:36] <Scunizi> xiroV: and have you enabled the restricted drivers?
[14:36] <quibbler> lenswipe: be right back..gone for coffee
[14:36] <lenswipe> quibbler: try that: http://pastebin.com/m57e028f9
[14:36] <Iceman_B^Ltop> bernz: I see. well whilst googling, it seems like I need to do some shuffling around with partitions or so
[14:36] <xiroV> Scunizi, yea.. the graphic driver works fine on my laptop.. i just want to connect an external screen to it
[14:36] <Iceman_B^Ltop> and thats still beyond my knowledge
[14:36] <bernz> aurax, (only an idea: the client probably has a config file, and it probably refers to the network device to use, e.g. "eth0"... look in that diretion)
[14:37] <Iceman_B^Ltop> honestly, I think it's ridiculous that something like user quota's can't be implemented by default, and also in an easy way
[14:37] <aurax> bernz: nothing there mate...
[14:37] <marcos> yes but how to start at least in text mode? no solution? possible? all the linux version is possible why not ubuntu? the only solution is reinstall? worse than windows 98
[14:37] <bernz> Iceman_B^Ltop, hmm... it shouldn't require partition changes -- keep looking for a better explanation on the Web :-)
[14:38] <Iceman_B^Ltop> alright
[14:38] <Scunizi> xiroV: if you haven't already you'll need to install nvidia-settings.  then with the laptop shutdown plug in the other monitor then turn it on.  Boot the lappy and load nvidia-settings to turn dual monitor support on or off..
[14:38] <bernz> aurax, well, unfortunately, that exhausts my store of ideas :-]
[14:38] <lenswipe> quibbler: that worl for you?
[14:38] <lenswipe> work*
[14:39] <bernz> aurax, which PPTP client is it anyway? i'm not being facetious, but did you read its docs? ;-)
[14:39] <srgz> hi
[14:39] <DarkKnight> lstarnes; its taking me 50 minutes to install mysql-server-5.0
[14:39] <quibbler> lenswipe: i'm back...you don't have the medibuntu repors there
[14:39] <srgz> i try to configure openvpn on my ubuntu pc
[14:39] <xiroV> Scunizi, So it only works if it's already plugged in while booting?
[14:39] <srgz> it display

[14:40] <cristi> hi! how can i create more than one primary partition using gparted? i currently have 1 primary and 2 extended + swap
[14:40] <lenswipe> quibbler: WTF? thats weird, i ran the command from a link thats sposed to add them to the source list, and when i run software sources from the administration menu they show up in there O_o
[14:40] <srgz>  sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/server.conf
[14:40] <xiroV> Scunizi, and what exactly do you mean about "load nvidia-settings" ?
[14:40] <aurax> bernz: sure man.. got one line up and running, it's just that i have 8 internet lines here and they all using pptp to dial out.
[14:40] <srgz> by running that command
[14:40] <srgz> can anyone help plz
[14:40] <Scunizi> xiroV: typically that is correct.. espicially if the external is a flat screen tv as well.  At least with mine if I don't have the monitor/tv plugged in before booting the lappy then the resolution gets all messed up
[14:40] <root> Hei
[14:40] <quibbler> lenswipe: go here  : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu  and follow the instructions on adding the Repositories
[14:41] <bernz> Iceman_B^Ltop, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289571 -- it looks complicated, but doesn't require repartitioning, just changes to your fstab; if you are very careful and plan everything out in advance, you should be able to do it safely -- if it doubt, back up the partition you're adding quota to first ;-)
[14:41] <STIAN9992> heisann
[14:41] <quibbler> lenswipe: for hardy
[14:41] <lenswipe> quibbler: i did that, i ran the command it told me and the medibuntu repo shows under System>Administration>Software Sources....
[14:41] <Scunizi> xiroV: nvidia-settings is a program to activate the second monitor with an nvidia card.. it does other things like tweeking but you'll need it regardless.
[14:41] <lenswipe> quibbler: just for some reason its not in the text file....
[14:41] <bernz> aurax, well, it's an interesting problem, so if you tell me the name of the client you're using, i'll read a bit about it, and if i come across anything useful, i'll update you
[14:41] <Scunizi> xiroV: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[14:42] <crazy2k> Hi. I'm running Intrepid's kernel. There's a bug they say it's fixed in Jaunty's kernel. What is the best way to update to that kernel (or at least have it as an option to boot from)?
[14:42] <aurax> bernz: it's the well know pptp-linux package
[14:42] <quibbler> lenswipe: run again in terminal: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[14:42] <quibbler> lenswipe: no
[14:42] <xiroV> Scunizi, i already have it :) Thanks a lot.. i think i've sorted it out :D THanks
[14:43] <Scunizi> xiroV: np :)
[14:43] <quibbler> lenswipe: sorry this: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[14:43] <bernz> crazy2k, basically: 1) get jaunty kernel sources 2) compile 3) place result (kernel file) into boot volume 4) reboot, and instead of running the default kernel, give it the name of the newly-compiled one; 5) when finished playing, reboot
[14:43] <Nevis> hi guys. I have a gigabyte geforece 6600 graphics card I just installed. I'm using 180.11, but it seems later versions are available. Should I upgrade? if so, how, as that's the latest version from intrepid repositories.
[14:43] <quibbler> lenswipe: then this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
[14:44] <bernz> aurax, okay, cool
[14:44] <Scunizi> Nevis: nope that should work fine.. if you find any anomolies you might even try using the 173 driver.. use to work great for me.
[14:44] <aurax> thanks bernz!
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[14:45] <tbalthazar> Hi, I would like to install MySQL on Ubuntu without being prompted to enter the root password (because I use a script to automate the install and I change the root password later in the script). The script use this command "aptitude install -y mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev" to install MySQL, but I'm still asked to change the root password (with Ubuntu 8.04.2). Any solution?
[14:46] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip1: hey, still same problem
[14:46] <ActionParsnip1> tbalthazar: you can make apt-get not need sudo
[14:46] <lenswipe> quibbler: ok i ran that, still not working, i cant find the codecs in synaptic O_o
[14:46] <Iceman_B^Ltop> bernz: ah thanks, I'll take a look
[14:46] <ActionParsnip1> lenswipe: does vlc-nox work?
[14:46] <lenswipe> quibbler: want a screenie of my sources list gtk app?
[14:46] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I also found a switch in Wwbmin
[14:46] <Iceman_B^Ltop> "enable quota's"
[14:46] <Rand> lol
[14:46] <Iceman_B^Ltop> *webmin
[14:47] <Rand> LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> !webmin | Iceman_B^Ltop
[14:47] <Pici> Rand: Do you have a support question?
[14:47] <tbalthazar> ActionParsnip1: I don't understand what you mean.
[14:47] <quibbler> ActionParsnip1: i'm trying to get lenswipe to add the medibuntu repos
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> tbalthazar: you can set certain commands to not need sudo
[14:47] <Iceman_B^Ltop> uhoh
[14:47] <lenswipe> quibbler: i have done, several times.....
[14:47] <lenswipe> quibbler: want a screenshot?
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> !medibuntu
[14:47] <quibbler> yes]
[14:47] <lenswipe> quibbler: http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd12/lenswipe/?action=view&current=Screenshot-SoftwareSources.png
[14:48] <psypher246> hi all. i was hoping someone can tell me how do i run xubuntu without starting the xserver. it used to be so easy bu just changing a number in the inittab. how do i do it now?
[14:48] <Rand> Pici: No, just retarted friends
[14:48] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ActionParsnip1: best to remove webmin then?
[14:48] <tbalthazar> ActionParsnip1: and that will prevent apt-get from asking to change the mysql root password?
[14:48] <unop> ActionParsnip1, I don't think he has a sudo problem .. he doesn't want the mysql postinst script to ask for a root password
[14:48] <tbalthazar> unop: that's it
[14:49] <Scunizi> psypher246: you mean you don't want to restart x to get xubuntu up? like run it in a different TTY?
[14:49] <unop> tbalthazar, you might be able to change the debconf priority to high and get away with it -- but i am not sure.  try.   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow debconf
[14:49] <quibbler> lenswipe:put a check also medibuntu source
[14:49] <ActionParsnip1> unop: surely if he adds the command to whatever file makes that happen it can be done without sudo or password?
[14:49] <unop> tbalthazar, after that - try installing mysql
[14:49] <lenswipe> quibbler: it isnt checked????
[14:49] <lenswipe> quibbler: :O! how could i miss that???
[14:50] <ActionParsnip1> Iceman_B^Ltop: its advised but if its working for you i can't see why not. I dont use it and can only tell you what the factoid says
[14:50] <unop> ActionParsnip1, the mysql installer asks for a password to be set for the mysql entity 'root' (not the system user) - that's what he's looking to avoid
[14:50] <quibbler> lenswipe: reload and check in synaptic again
[14:50] <lenswipe> quibbler: ok i checked the box and got another error message, ill screenshot it...
[14:50] <Daft_Punk> is there a way to have the icon text (for the icons on desktop) to be readable on light AND dark backgrounds? (like in windows)
[14:50] <lenswipe> quibbler: gimme a sec...
[14:50] <psypher246> Scunizi: no i want to change the run level so that x does not start on boot
[14:50] <ActionParsnip1> unop: ahhh to set the root mysql password on the other system
[14:51] <jrib> psypher246: forever?
[14:51] <psypher246> yes
[14:51] <unop> ActionParsnip1, well, not set it - but rather, don't set it
[14:51] <banisterfiend> hey guys i've lost my taskbar, what do i do? how do i get it back?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> unop: i gotcha
[14:51] <Scunizi> psypher246: ok.. sorry I missunderstood.. don't know the answer to that one but could have had you running 2 occurances of x with xubuntu in one and ubuntu or kde in the other.. :)
[14:51] <tbalthazar> unop: when I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow debconf, it launches an interactive blue screen, which is what I want to avoid with my install script
[14:51] <cristi> does anyone have any idea what does window require besize the fac that it wants to be installed on a primary partition?
[14:51] <jrib> psypher246: system -> administration -> services.  Disable graphical login.  runlevels 2-5 are identical on debian, so you just want to disable the specific service on runlevel 2 (the default) (at least)
[14:51] <KazaLite> hi all
[14:52] <banisterfiend> anyone? im freaking out!
[14:52] <KazaLite> which is the best ide that can be configured with gcc for ubuntu?
[14:52] <dtcrshr> what bothers you banisterfiend
[14:52] <Slart> psypher246: does this thread help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6460
[14:52] <psypher246> jrib: can i not just change the runlevel to one that does not boot graphical?
[14:52] <jrib> cristi: it doesn't even require that really, but you shouldn't need to do anything else special
[14:52] <banisterfiend> dtcrshr: ive lost my taskbar :(
[14:52] <unop> tbalthazar, I don't see you getting out of this one easily -- are you creating a script that you will distribute to other people or is it just for yourself?
[14:52] <kale> banisterfiend: right click some other panel, open preferences, and a a new panel
[14:52] <jrib> psypher246: if runlevels 2-5 are identical by default then that's not possible, right?
[14:52] <banisterfiend> kale: i dont have any other panels
[14:52] <kale> jrib: runlevel 2 is not used
[14:53] <lenswipe> quibbler: http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd12/lenswipe/?action=view&current=Screenshot-synaptic.png
[14:53] <jrib> kale: runlevel 2 is default...
[14:53] <tbalthazar> unop: it is already open source : http://github.suitmymind.com/ubuntu-machine/
[14:53] <kale> banisterfiend: not even the usual top panel
[14:53] <Scunizi> jrib: then on reboot psypher246 would have no gui.. once in that position how do you reverse the process?
[14:53] <psypher246> and text only is 3 right?
[14:53] <ActionParsnip1> unop: couldnt you edit the post install scipt somehow?
[14:53] <banisterfiend> kale: no, all i have are the icons on my desktop, that's all
[14:53] <psypher246> Scunizi: YOU HAVE THE COMMNAD LINE
[14:53] <psypher246> oops sorry
[14:53] <psypher246> nnot screaming
[14:53] <jrib> Scunizi: /etc/init.d/gdm start, System -> Administration -> Services.  Or use sysv-rc-conf or bum
[14:53] <kale> jrib: then ubuntu really sucks
[14:53] <tbalthazar> unop: I installed a ubuntu server in a breeze with my script yesterday, and today, it do not work anymore ... :-/
[14:53] <bernz> aurax, perhaps this config tool would be helpful: http://quozl.linux.org.au/pptp/pptpconfig/0-README.phtml
[14:53] <jrib> kale: I guess you mean "debian really sucks".  But no, not really
[14:54] <cristi> jrib: uhm, however is it ok to have 2 primary partitions? and also a friend told me that windows needs the first bytes from the disk in order to be succesfully installed. That is not correct isn't it?
[14:54] <psypher246> all you used to have to do is change the runlevel number in inittab
[14:54] <ActionParsnip1> kale: you can get runlevel 2, its single user mode command line
[14:54] <Rand> Anyone here tried to run multiple x servers, with two keyboards and mouse?
[14:54] <kale> jrib: runlevel 2 i undefined
[14:54] <Scunizi> jrib: ah.. early for me.. forgot about init.d to start the gui.. :/
[14:54] <kale> ActionParsnip1: thats runlevel 1
[14:54] <jrib> kale: if you are using ubuntu, run « runlevel »
[14:54] <lenswipe> Rand: i guess thats what u might call a mainframe computer eh?
[14:54] <psypher246> jrib: is right
[14:54] <bernz> aurax, but besides that, it looks like there's a file '/etc/ppp/options.pptp' which might contain something useful
[14:54] <lenswipe> quibbler: i managed to pickup w32, what was the other one called?
[14:54] <kale> jrib: hey hold on, i'm wrong here. runlevel 2 is singleuser with net, its runlevel 4 that doesn't exits
[14:55] <jrib> psypher246: this is debian policy.  If you want, use sysv-rc-conf or bum to modify just runlevel 2 to not start gdm, doesn't really matter
[14:55] <Rand> :P hehe, wondering if it is possible... would have been really cool:P
[14:55] <ActionParsnip1> kale: aahhhh RL2 = Multi-User Mode Does not: configure network interfaces or start daemons
[14:55] <weerluis> hi guys, how do I setup fetchmail to use a catch all account?
[14:55] <jrib> kale: on debian (and ubuntu) runlevels 2-5 are identical by default
[14:55] <ActionParsnip1> kale: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) and later contain Upstart as a replacement for the traditional init-process, but they still use the traditional init scripts and Upstart's SysV-rc compatibility tools to start most services and emulate runlevels.
[14:55] <kale> jrib: i do not believe so
[14:55] <Pici> kale: jrib is correct.
[14:55] <kale> jrib: one of those is without networking
[14:55] <ActionParsnip1> kale: wikipedia
[14:55] <quibbler> lenswipe: libdvdcss2
[14:55] <afancy> Hi,  could anybody know why my cursor on screen jump everywhere when i am typing.
[14:55] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ActionParsnip1: I'll go with phpsysinfo
[14:56] <cristi> afancy: do you have a touchpad?
[14:56] <lenswipe> quibbler: right.
[14:56] <unop> tbalthazar, i'm guessing you could create a .cnf file that contains the password and place it in /etc/mysql .. the installer should use that configuration instead
[14:56] <kale> jrib: also runlevel 5 should be with gui, and 3 without gui
[14:56] <psypher246> as far as I knew runlevel 1, single user, 2, gui, 3 just text. another forum said add text to the kernel boot line but that didn't work either
[14:56] <quibbler> lenswipe: try a dvd
[14:56] <Daft_Punk> banisterfiend, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303438 (try pressing alt+f2 and search panel and run it)
[14:56] <salvatore> ciao
[14:56] <jrib> kale: on some distros that is their policy, sure.  Not on debian
[14:56] <afancy> cristi: maybe, how can i close it?
[14:56] <tbalthazar> unop: great idea, I'll try that
[14:56] <afancy> cristi: disable touchpad
[14:56] <kale> jrib: that is very weird
[14:56] <unop> tbalthazar, to understand how the installer works, you might have to look at the preinst/postinst script in  /var/lib/dpkg/mysql*inst
[14:57] <cristi> system->preferences->mouse->touchpad and you have the disable option
[14:57] <lenswipe> quibbler: thanks man, it works now, except there is no sound and the color looks like a 50s TV
[14:57] <lenswipe> quibbler: any ideas?
[14:57] <fasta> Is there some way to lower the speed of the touchpad scoller?
[14:57] <fasta> It seemed it is 3 times faster than with the previous update.
[14:58] <lenswipe> quibbler: nvm i got sound....
[14:58] <quibbler> lenswipe: what player
[14:58] <disappearedng> Hey my totem crashes whenever I play a file any ideas?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip1> fasta: set scroll speed somewhere in gnome settings i'd imagine, set it to fewer lines
[14:58] <lenswipe> quibbler: smplayer
[14:58] <ActionParsnip1> disappearedng: run it from terminal, you will get intelligent output
[14:58] <quibbler> try vlc
[14:58] <banisterfiend> Daft_Punk: alt-f2 doesn't do anything, in fact none of my old shortcut keys seem to work
[14:58] <quibbler> or totem
[14:58] <hongma> hi
[14:58] <Daft_Punk> banisterfiend, did you try restarting the system a few times? seems like something didnt load properly
[14:58] <cristi> afancy: system->preferences->mouse->touchpad and you have the disable option
[14:59] <banisterfiend> Daft_Punk: for example i had Control-ALT-t bound to open a gnome-terminal but now it says it can't even locate the command 'gnome-terminal' anymore!
[14:59] <kale> jrib: seems you are right about those runlevels in debian. long time since i used it
[14:59] <unop> banisterfiend, but do you know if gnome-terminal is installed?
[14:59] <afancy> cristi: many thanks
[15:00] <cristi> afancy: no problem ;D
[15:00] <banisterfiend> unop: im installing it now...do you think it got uninstalled when i went 'apt-get remove nautilus-extensions1' ?
[15:00] <disappearedng> ActionParsnip1 http://pastie.org/400962
[15:00] <unop> banisterfiend, it's possible
[15:00] <unop> banisterfiend, but i am not sure about that
[15:01] <banisterfiend> well im confused to all hell
[15:01] <ActionParsnip1> disappearedng: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274124
[15:02] <banisterfiend> is there anything i can type at a terminal to bring back the taskbar?
[15:02] <unop> banisterfiend, errm..  gnome-panel  perhaps
[15:02] <cristi> what do i need to learn in order to get involved in the motu project? i mean making packages and stuff
[15:02] <kale> banisterfiend: you can delete your gnome settings
[15:03] <banisterfiend> kale: im not sure about that, mightn't that just make things worse? :(
[15:03] <banisterfiend> unop: gnome-panel, it says the command doesn't even exist.... :/
[15:03] <unop> banisterfiend, does the panel come up when you log in?
[15:03] <banisterfiend> no it doesn't
[15:03] <unop> banisterfiend, i guess you need to install gnome-panel too then
[15:03] <oCean_> cristi: think ppl in #ubuntu-motu can help
[15:04] <cristi> oCean_: thank you
[15:04] <banisterfiend> unop: do you know the name of a package that just has all that stuff with it? like gnome-terminal and gnome-panel etc
[15:04] <banisterfiend> i think i uninstalled something pretty fundamental when i was following the advice i was given :/
[15:05] <unop> banisterfiend, errm, ubuntu-desktop perhaps
[15:06] <aboSamoor1> where can I find support for ubuntu 9.04 ?
[15:06] <unop> !jaunty | aboSamoor1
[15:06] <banisterfiend> unop: if i install ubuntu-desktop it's not going to screw everything is it? (btw installing gnome-panel did get my task bar back thanks! but im scared that there's a mbunch of other wtuff i need to install too that i dont know about)
[15:06] <hay_ig2000> hi all, i used supergrubdisc to reinstall grub..afterwards booting into ubuntu has been slower by nearly 10 seconds
[15:07] <bsdbandit> im trying to configure my wireless from the command line do i need to restart to make the changes take effect
[15:07] <bsdbandit> ?
[15:07] <n8tuserf> bsdbandit -> nope
[15:07] <unop> banisterfiend, well, what i would do is examine /var/log/dpkg.log to see exactly what was removed after you 'followed that advice' .. and reinstall those packages
[15:07] <user32768> i am trying to mount a samba share, ideally so that it can be mounted from kde.  its set up in fstab and can be mounted from a shell with sudo mount, but seems to require sudo?  and i have found no way to doing this via kde, either.  can anyone here help?
[15:07] <utkuaydin> Can you suggest a software like Quanta Plus? I don't want to install KDE libs.
[15:08] <bernz> aurax, sorry, it looks like i can't get enough understanding of the pptp stuff without installing it and playing around a bit; but i'm pretty sure you should be able to list your 10 NICs in '/etc/network/interfaces', and then put 'eth0', 'eth1', etc into your pptp configs... something like that. good luck!
[15:08] <unop> bsdbandit, they will probably be lost -- unless you save them in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:08] <bsdbandit> ok
[15:08] <bsdbandit> im going to give that a try
[15:08] <bsdbandit> im running fluxbox
[15:08] <unop> bsdbandit, but that file has specific syntax .. see  man 5 interfaces
[15:08] <bsdbandit> ok
[15:08] <bsdbandit> cool
[15:08] <bsdbandit> thanx
[15:10] <CarlFK> IntuitiveNipple: mind giving me some help with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EloTouchScreen
[15:11] <IntuitiveNipple> CarlFK: Not sure I'll be any use; I only spent an hour with an Elo :)
[15:12] <CarlFK> IntuitiveNipple: well, for openers I am not sure I am getting the xorg.conf settings recognized... or something
[15:12] <mercutio22> What is a good tool to create a DVD with custom subtitles?
[15:12] <faria> hello
[15:13] <faria> hi
[15:13] <Rand> he5
[15:13] <oCean_> !hi | faria
[15:13] <CarlFK> IntuitiveNipple: here is my xorg.conf and log http://dpaste.com/1882/
[15:13] <Dykam> Oh no, a hello bot
[15:13] <faria> i installed ubuntu now plz tell me is NIC cards matter for speed?
[15:13] <IntuitiveNipple> CarlFK: As far as I recall, it 'just worked' when I set it up (aside from the inversion issue) so I didn't really look closely
[15:13] <bernz> NIC == network interface card
[15:13] <faria> yes
[15:14] <disappearedng> ActionParsnip1: hey there isn't a fix for this though
[15:14] <bernz> it matters for speed of your LAN, but as a human, you'll never notice
[15:14] <AJC_Z0> What's the correct way to set a user defined search path in /etc/resolv.conf?
[15:14] <bernz> (even 10 Mb/s card is faster than most people need)
[15:14] <Dueland> How can I change the name of my HDD? :P
[15:14] <faria> i mean i have builtin NIC so can i use pci NIC card for good speed?
[15:14] <whyameye> !server
[15:14] <bernz> faria, yes, definitely
[15:14] <tritium> AJC_Z0: /etc/resolv.conf has to do with DNS, not search paths
[15:15] <bernz> faria, some built-in NICs even come at gigabit speed (1000Mb/s)
[15:15] <faria> brenz wich one is the best ?
[15:15] <SiDi> Dueland: if you mean change the label of the partitions on your HDD, you can do it with Gparted, but you'll have to unmount them before you change the names (thus you might have to do it via a LiveCD)
[15:15] <faria> bernz
[15:15] <CarlFK> IntuitiveNipple: out of the box it kinda worked - but the X was flipped - up down is fine, move finger to the right, mouse goes to the left
[15:15] <jin_122> how come i get an error just typing in ./configure in my terminal ?
[15:15] <bernz> faria, there is no particular "best" one; as long as it works, it's good enough
[15:15] <ForzaPalermo> hey guys i have 3 internal haredrives, one 200gb for my ubuntu OS, the other two (1.5TB each) i want PURELY for storage and will LVM.... my question iswhen i format it iusing fdisk... do i make it a primary partiiton??? and how do i know im getting all 1.5TBS..... it asks questions about cylinders.. i am confused please help!
[15:15] <lstarnes> jin_122: it depends on the error message
[15:16] <bernz> faria, in other words, your mobo probably has a 10/100 built-in, maybe a 100/1000 -- both are "best" ;-)
[15:16] <faria> so u advice me to use pci NIC card
[15:16] <SiDi> jin_122: obviously the configure script can't end because you're missiing something.
[15:16] <unop> tritium, you can set a search domain in /etc/resolv.conf to use to resolve non-FQDNs
[15:16] <Dueland> SiDi: Is it necessary if i don't use any of them to boot up the system with? There's nothing on them
[15:16] <jin_122> java -jar /home/thesleepingox/Desktop/jIRCii/jerk.jar
[15:16] <jin_122> thesleepingox@ubuntu:~$ ./configure
[15:16] <jin_122> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[15:16] <jin_122> that's what i get
[15:16] <unop> AJC_Z0, i don't think you can
[15:16] <CarlFK> IntuitiveNipple: trying to add the Section "InputDevice" results in it not working at all - touch anywhere, mouse doesn't move
[15:16] <faria> ok
[15:16] <bernz> faria, yes, PCI NIC is just fine (PCI is able to easily handle it)
[15:16] <tritium> unop: yes, search *domain*, not $PATH
[15:16] <faria> thanx
[15:16] <unop> tritium, he might have used 'path' as a loose term there
[15:16] <AJC_Z0> unop: That's not good. A search path is part of a network environment
[15:16] <bernz> faria, but if you have a built-in one, it's just as good (and saves a slot)
[15:16] <tritium> unop: fair enough
[15:16] <SiDi> Dueland: well you need to unmount a partition in order to change its name so you cant rename your system partition without using a LiveCD. any other partition should be ok :)
[15:17] <faria> thanx bernz
[15:17] <bernz> faria, in fact -- the built-in one could be *slightly* better, because it might be more "directly" connected to a bus (but probably, it's just hanging on the PCI bus anyway)
[15:17] <unop> AJC_Z0, well, edit /etc/resolv.conf and place your domain there then
[15:17] <jin_122> thesleepingox@ubuntu:~$ ./configure
[15:17] <jin_122> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[15:17] <Dueland> ok thnx
[15:17] <unop> jin_122, you need to be in a source directory for that to work
[15:17] <bernz> faria, no problem
[15:17] <faria> thanx bernz
[15:17] <Droopsta915> My flash drive doesn't auto mount sometimes, when it doesn't my computer freezes and I have to reboot. Anyone having this problem?
[15:18] <AJC_Z0> unop: Of course that doesn't last longer than until the next DHCP refresh. I could mess with dnclient.conf, but with per-user session based network config that would be suboptimal
[15:18] <bernz> Droopsta915, i've had lock-ups just after POST (before OS loads) if a USB stick was plugged in on some motherboards
[15:19] <faria> bernz how can i set my ubuntu for shell service with vhost
[15:19] <bernz> Droopsta915, the only one i can recall for sure what an XPC "shuttle" machine
[15:19] <sinan> today apt updated my flash player, now FF doesn't know the player is there, it asks me to "download a new plugin"! Any ideas?
[15:19] <IdentifyTarget> I'm migrating from FreeNAS (FreeBSD) to Ubuntu. I have a 3 drive Software RAID0 UFS that was setup in FreeNAS. Will I be able to access the data in Ubuntu without reformatting the disk, and if so how? (I'm new to linux).
[15:19] <bernz> faria, i don't understand; do you mean you want to log into a shell from a remote machine?
[15:19] <hothollas> is there a messenger where I can use my microphone with?
[15:19] <faria> ok
[15:20] <unop> AJC_Z0, well, that's by design - the network is controlled by the administrator - you can't have users hijacking the policy you set out
[15:20] <IntuitiveNipple> CarlFK: I'm guessing this is a clue "Unable to ask Elographics touchscreen identification"
[15:20] <hothollas> is there another messenger- other than pidgin- that it's possible to use the mic with ?
[15:21] <CarlFK> IntuitiveNipple: how do I figure out  device="?"
[15:21] <ForzaPalermo> speaking about pidgin... i cant stop the system beep when you hit backspace in the chat window
[15:21] <ForzaPalermo> anyone know how to stop that
[15:21] <AJC_Z0> unop: Setting an appropriate search path is hijacking? I didn't know I was a terrist
[15:22] <IntuitiveNipple> CarlFK: You must know what port the device is connected to? Maybe the device model isn't supported by that driver?
[15:22] <bernz> ForzaPalermo, you *might* be able to just disable the system beep (globally) from the sounds control panel
[15:23] <ForzaPalermo> it is but only in pidgin
[15:23] <unop> AJC_Z0, yes, because as an administrator - you want users to use the domain (and policies associated with it) and a contravention of this is termed 'hijacking'
[15:23] <ForzaPalermo> it stays!
[15:23] <ForzaPalermo> so annoying
[15:24] <slerder> Hi everyone. I just noticed that the motherboard I ordered from newegg has an 8 pin connector for the cpu but my powersupply only has a 4 pin connector for the cpu. Can I use my 4 pin connector or some sort of adapter? What should I do? Thanks.
[15:24] <Scunizi> slerder: you need to buy a new powersupply
[15:25] <ActionParsnip1> !webmin
[15:25] <Dillizar> i have problems with mounting my phone i can see it but i cant open it
[15:26] <kale> Dillizar: bluetooth?
[15:26] <Dillizar> usb
[15:26] <rmzeppelin> ive got a problem i just installed xubuntu 8.10 and theres no x button or - button up top of applications and i cant resize or move the applications does anyone know how to fix this
[15:26] <kale> Dillizar: you need to set the phone to be an usb-storage-device
[15:26] <bernz> Dillizar, is it a MSD/MSC (mass storage)?
[15:26] <rmzeppelin> ive had xubuntu before never had this problem
[15:26] <Dillizar> i did kale
[15:27] <Dillizar> bernz,  i dont know what is that :)
[15:27] <bernz> Dillizar, in that case, it's probably at least showing up in /dev/sd*, no?
[15:27] <kale> Dillizar: fdisk -l
[15:27] <bernz> Dillizar, MSC == mass storage class (a USB device class), sometimes also called MSD (mass storage device)
[15:28] <bernz> Dillizar, it makes your device's storage (usually flash, sometimes a removable drive, like SD or micro-SD) appear as a typical "disk drive" to the OS
[15:28] <ForzaPalermo> when you do fdisk to a drive, and make it a primarmy partion and just hit enter till the end, does the partiion take up the whjole space of the drive
[15:28] <rmzeppelin>  i just installed xubuntu and i dl newest nvidia drivers and installed them also with xubuntu if anyone can help i would be more than thankfull
[15:28] <ForzaPalermo> mine is 1.5tb i just want to know if there is a limit
[15:28] <Dillizar> bernz, i can see the card and the phone but i cant enter
[15:29] <bernz> ForzaPalermo, newer BIOS and kernels support up to [insane limit] disk drives
[15:29] <ghostlines> how do i detect the mac address from a pc on my local network?
[15:29] <Dillizar> kale fdisk -l doesnt work
[15:29] <bernz> where [insane limit] is at least in the PBs, i think (petabytes... 1000s of TB)
[15:29] <kale> ghostlines: arping
[15:29] <bernz> Dillizar, 'sudo fdisk -l'  ;-)
[15:29] <Dillizar> :P
[15:29] <ForzaPalermo> bernz: right, but im just wondering if its a limitiation of the funtion
[15:29] <ForzaPalermo> cause it asks about cylinder size
[15:29] <tcr> Is there a way to find out what packages were recently updated?
[15:30] <ForzaPalermo> and i get confused cuase i have no clue what it is
[15:30] <kale> Dillizar: id
[15:30] <bernz> ForzaPalermo, nope, it's only asking if you want to make the partition smaller than the whole disk (if the table is empty already)
[15:30] <nicolaialexander> hi everyone i just installed ubuntu and i need root access does anyone know how i could do that?
[15:30] <tcr> I updated something yesterday through UpdateManager, and it seems the change made my system instable
[15:30] <kale> nicolaialexander: sudo bash
[15:30] <tcr> nicolaialexander: In a Terminal, type `sudo su'
[15:30] <Dillizar> Bernz and kale i have this i sure hope i will not flood :)
[15:30] <Dillizar> Disk /dev/sdc: 11 MB, 11403264 bytes
[15:30] <Dillizar> 1 heads, 22 sectors/track, 1012 cylinders
[15:30] <Dillizar> Units = cylinders of 22 * 512 = 11264 bytes
[15:30] <Dillizar> Disk identifier: 0x00000000
[15:30] <atrox_> Could somebody help me with an error I get when trying to update package information?
[15:30] <FloodBot1> Dillizar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:31] <bernz> Dillizar, use a pastebin site (e.g. pastebin.ca) for multi-line output ;-)
[15:31] <ForzaPalermo> bernz: so going through the defualt motions will give me maximum partiion size of 1.5tb or whatever that transition to when fomratted?
[15:31] <dsdeiz> hi, i'm having trouble with my connection speed in ubuntu.. i have 8.10 any ideas what i should start on researching? :S
[15:31] <kale> dsdeiz: tcpdump, bwm
[15:31] <bernz> Dillizar, anyway, so the phone's storage is 'sdc'; with 'fdisk -l /dev/sdc', you'll see if it has any usable partitions
[15:32] <mohanohi> hi guys..
[15:32] <mohanohi> i am getting E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list..
[15:32] <mohanohi> How to reolve this issue?
[15:32] <bernz> ForzaPalermo, yep; after you create the partition, it will not yet be written to disk; at that point, display the table ('p' i believe) and confirm that the sizes are correct
[15:32] <atrox_> Could somebody help me with an error I get when trying to update package information?
[15:32] <nicolaialexander> is there a reason its called a bash:?
[15:32] <ForzaPalermo> ok then hit w to wr ite
[15:32] <nicolaialexander> thanks a lot
[15:32] <bernz> Dillizar, then you need to mount them (probably there is only '/dev/sdc1')
[15:32] <Dillizar> bernz, i dont have SDC
[15:33] <dsdeiz> kale: uhm, i'm kinda new to ubuntu.. may i ask what are those for?
[15:33] <atrox_> anybody?
[15:33] <tcr> nicolaialexander: It stands for Bourne Again SHell
[15:33] <bernz> Dillizar, ahhh... hm... well... you should unplug the phone, then 'ls -l /dev/sd*', then plug it in, then same command, and see if there's a new 'sd?' device (where '?' is a letter)
[15:33] <kale> dsdeiz: tcpdump, dumps network traffic, bwm shows bandwidth usage
[15:33] <skyworld> hello
[15:33] <mohanohi> when is open synaptic package manager I get E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list error and closes..
[15:34] <bernz>  Dillizar, because maybe it's 'sdb' or 'sda' or even 'sdd' (depending on what else you have connected, whether your boot drive is SATA, etc)
[15:34] <mohanohi> can anybody pls help me out from this?
[15:34] <skyworld> how to set scim
[15:34] <mohanohi> i did some wrong thing with tee command..
[15:34] <unop> mohanohi,  put the contents of that file up on a pastebin for us to see.
[15:34] <Rioting_pacifist> my ubuntu install is unussable, everything keeps segfaulting, can somebody help!?!
[15:34] <IdentifyTarget> I'm migrating from FreeNAS (FreeBSD) to Ubuntu. I have a 3 drive Software RAID0 UFS that was setup in FreeNAS. Will I be able to access the data in Ubuntu without reformatting the disk, and if so how? (I'm new to linux).
[15:34] <Dillizar> k bernz ok i can see it so is there a command to mount it :)
[15:35] <skyworld> i will but i can not
[15:35] <nicolaialexander> thanks a ton
[15:35] <bernz> mohanohi, if you are missing 'wget' (i'm not saying you are, but i can't make sense of that error), you could try 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get install wget'... but i don't think that'll really help
[15:35] <bernz> Dillizar, awesome, so.. to mount it, you just need to create a "host" directory somewhere (an empty dir, say in '/media' or '/mnt')
[15:35] <unop> bernz, he's got the word 'wget' in that file -- and APT doesn't understand the meaning of the word
[15:35] <scout_> This is the way the world ends; not with a bang, but a whimper.
[15:35] <mohanohi> /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[15:35] <axyjo> hi all, is 686-SMP support built in to the default intrepid kernel?
[15:35] <mohanohi> oh.. sorry.
[15:35] <bernz> Dillizar, call it 'phone' or something; and you gotta super that ('sudo mkdir /mnt/phone')
[15:36] <hesselink> hi, I'm having trouble writing to my 3rd gen ipod over firewire in 8.10. USB works, reading over firewire works.
[15:36] <atrox_> nevermind, I fixed it
[15:36] <bernz> unop, ahh... hmm... that's tough to fix (particularly if the file has been edited)
[15:36] <unop> mohanohi,   sudo aptitude install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list
[15:36] <kale> axyjo: uname -a
[15:36] <axyjo> kale: thanks i'll see it.
[15:36] <IdentifyTarget> pastebin it?
[15:36] <unop> bernz, errm, no, just edit the file and take the odd bits out
[15:37] <IdentifyTarget> can you pastebin directly from CLI?
 the only way i could get mine to work was in amorok and i had to manually write the firewire id to the ipod
[15:37] <unop> IdentifyTarget, sure
[15:37] <Rioting_pacifist> IdentifyTarget: check with a livecd but id guess you can, im not sure what UFS read/write speed will be like though
[15:37] <Dillizar> bernz, thats awesome too :D but can you tell me step by step :D
[15:37] <hesselink> spideyman: haven't tried Amarok yet, but even just "touch test" doesn't work...
[15:37] <IdentifyTarget> Rioting_pacifist: EXCELLENT IDEA! Thank you
[15:37] <mohanohi> i am getting E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list
[15:37] <mohanohi> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[15:37] <mohanohi> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[15:37] <mohanohi> E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list
[15:37] <mohanohi> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[15:37] <FloodBot1> mohanohi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:37] <Dillizar> bernz, what is a HOST directory
[15:37] <shadeslayer> can someone send me free ubuntu stickers??
[15:38] <shadeslayer> im in India
[15:38] <bernz> unop, yeah, but one has to identify the "odd bits" (to avoid further damage); that's the tricky part (unless one is already "good" at doing so)
[15:38] <shadeslayer> Like the ones ised for windows
[15:38] <hesselink> spideyman: do you have any more info about writing the firewire id?
[15:38] <shadeslayer> *used
[15:38] <shadeslayer> and Intel
[15:38] <Dillizar> shadeslayer, if you order a free cd you will get them :)
 http://mandrivausers.org/lofiversion/index.php/t50594.html
[15:38] <axyjo> hmm it has SMP, but how would i go about optimizing it for a 686 processor as opposed to a generic? there's no such package as a linux-image-686, but there is a linux-image-386
[15:38] <bernz> Dillizar, it's the directory that you will bind your device's storage volume (the phone's internal "disk drive") to
[15:38] <unop> mohanohi, when you're ready ... that command returns a url, paste that in here
[15:38] <shadeslayer> Dillizar: not those,too big
[15:38] <bernz> Dillizar, and through which you will access that data
[15:38] <IdentifyTarget> What does Ubuntu 8.04 LTS stand for?
[15:39] <n2diy> how do you tell when sbackup has finished?
[15:39] <shadeslayer> Dillizar: like the small windows and Intel ones
[15:39] <shadeslayer> IdentifyTarget: Long term support
[15:39] <hesselink> spideyman: thanks, I'll go read, and try amarok.
[15:39] <lion> haloow
[15:39] <uaneme> llo
[15:39] <shadeslayer> !LTS | IdentifyTarget
[15:39] <Dillizar> bernz, dont want to sound like a an asshole but you are speaking Japanese to me :D
[15:39] <lion> anyone can help me to manage my bandwith
[15:39] <mohanohi> no.. when i typed the command you had specified in terminal it didn't returned url.. It gave series of error..
[15:39] <unop> Dillizar, language
[15:39] <bernz> Dillizar, okay, say when you've created the directory that will act as your mount point (the "host" for your device's storage) :-)
[15:39] <Dillizar> shadeslayer, you can buy them or make them
[15:39] <wh4vn> Hi everyone! I try to install gyachi on my ubuntu 8.10 but cannot, it shows many errors, I corrected some, and stop when this happened: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123383/ Someone can help? Thank you!
[15:40] <Moncsi> hello
[15:40] <Dillizar> bernz,  tell me how to create it :)
[15:40] <shadeslayer> Dillizar: where can i make them,any specific shops,coz im starting a LUG
[15:40] <lion> hello
[15:40] <unop> mohanohi, ok.  sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list{,.bak} && sudo aptitude install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list
[15:40] <shadeslayer> !hi|lion
[15:40] <Moncsi> where do you live?
[15:40] <lion> hi shades
[15:40] <shadeslayer> Moncsi: gurgaon,India
[15:40] <lion> any ur help
[15:41] <Dillizar> shadeslayer, use GIPM
[15:41] <bernz> Dillizar, okay, no worries... basically, on unix-like systems, "everything is a file" (there are exceptions); so, everything is in a "file system"... that' s like FAT & NTFS (Windows), ext2fs, jffs, etc... a file system is stored in a "volume", which is like a disk (of course, physical disks can be broken into pieces, each of which is a volume, containing a file system)
[15:41] <wh4vn> Hi everyone! I try to install gyachi on my ubuntu 8.10 but cannot, it shows many errors, I corrected some, and stop when this happened: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123383/ Someone can help? Thank you!
[15:41] <shadeslayer> Dillizar: i already have a logo file
[15:41] <unop> mohanohi, ahh sorry, make the last part. pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akirad.list.bak
[15:41] <Moncsi> shut up!
[15:41] <shadeslayer> lion: ??
[15:41] <bernz> Dillizar, Linux can "attach" (mount) a file system on an existing file system (your ubuntu is the main file system, onto which you are going to "glue" (temporarily) the phone's file system)
[15:41] <wh4vn> sorry! can you stop chatting?
[15:41] <uaneme> i have a problem with wired network, before update it worked after update it is not connecting, (also not with static ip)
[15:42] <ikonia> wh4vn: who ?
[15:42] <Dillizar> ok bernz understand so far :)
[15:42] <uaneme> is this a known issue?
[15:42] <bernz> Dillizar, once attached, file systems can interact (copy/move files, etc)
[15:42] <Moncsi> what do you do?
[15:42] <wh4vn> some
[15:42] <ikonia> wh4vn: some what ?
[15:42] <bernz> Dillizar, when you're finished using the guest file system, you unattach (unmount) it
[15:42] <Scunizi> !ot | Moncsi
[15:42] <bernz> bernz, (and then physically unplug it if necessary, like a USB storage device)
[15:42] <ikonia> ubottu: define does not work
[15:42] <ikonia> ubottu: oops
[15:42] <ikonia> uaneme: define does not work - what type of card is it
[15:43] <Moncsi> i try to get ubuntu but i dont
[15:43] <bernz> Dillizar, so, right now, we're creating a spot for your to "graft" your phone's file system onto your ubuntu (main) file system, so it can be accessed
[15:43] <wh4vn> @ikonia: sorry
[15:43] <shadeslayer> Dillizar: so where can i make them??
[15:43] <bernz> Dillizar, to create that spot, you can do 'sudo mkdir /mnt/phone' -- that is, "as super user, create a directory in '/etc' called 'phone'
[15:43] <uaneme> ikonia:  i'll look it up one sec
[15:43] <Dillizar> shadeslayer, take gimp play with it and then print them on paper
[15:43] <wh4vn> I have a problem: I try to install gyachi on my ubuntu 8.10 but cannot, it shows many errors, I corrected some, and stop when this happened: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123383/ Someone can help? Thank you!
[15:44] <shadeslayer> Dillizar: but i want plastic ones :P
[15:44] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know where Ubuntu (technically xubuntu) runs the script that launches xfce4-panel? My system crashed a few days ago, and now I have to keep running it manually.
[15:44] <shadeslayer> Dillizar: ill show you what i have
[15:44] <shadeslayer> one sec
[15:44] <Dillizar> wait shadeslayer lemme fix my stupid french phone k?
[15:45] <shadeslayer> np
[15:45] <bernz> Dillizar, let me know when you've created that directory, and we'll proceed
[15:45] <uaneme> can't find it... it is a acer netbook
[15:45] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: sure i know
[15:45] <dsdeiz> uhm, i have installed bwm-ng, what does rx tx means?
[15:45] <Dillizar> bernz, ok i have made a /mnt/phone :D now what :D
[15:45] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: xfdesktop
[15:46] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: worked??
[15:46] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: run it in Alt+F2
[15:46] <wh4vn_> I have a problem: I try to install gyachi on my ubuntu 8.10 but cannot, it shows many errors, I corrected some, and stop when this happened: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123383/ Someone can help? Thank you!
[15:46] <shadeslayer> brb
[15:46] <spasticteapot> shadeslayer: Will that cause xfce4-panel to load every time I boot?
[15:47] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: uh which panel,thats for the desktop
[15:47] <presshere> how can i set nautilus to show me always file extention?
[15:47] <bernz> Dillizar, last step... mounting the device: 'sudo mount /dev/sdx1' where 'sdx1' is replaced by the correct name of the device's storage volume (look in /dev again if you forgot... 'ls -l /dev/sd*' and find the one that "appeared" when you plugged in the phone, and with a '1' after the letters)
[15:48] <bernz> Dillizar, oops, rather 'sudo mount /dev/sdx1 /mnt/phone'
[15:48] <wh4vn_> someone can help? :(
[15:48] <spasticteapot> shadeslayer: The rest of XFCE works fine. It's just XFCE4-panel that's broken.
[15:48] <Dillizar> bernz, to make the directory in etc i need root access :) i forgot how to get there :)
[15:48] <bernz> Dillizar, you are then saying "as super user, mount storage volume at this place '/etc/phone')
[15:48] <orifice_work> I have a program that is grabbing images from a remote camera but saves them as jpgs.  Is there a way I can serve those jpegs up in a live stream over http ?
[15:48] <bernz> Dillizar, 'sudo x' == "run 'x' as super user"
[15:49] <bernz> (and use your login user name as password)
[15:49] <unop> orifice_work, you can convert the jpegs to a mpeg movie
[15:49] <khirr> how can validate a empty field in bash?
[15:49] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: the thing at the top??
[15:49] <orifice_work> unop:  I wanted to do that but I couldn't find out how to do it live
[15:49] <blodski> what's the easiest way to clone the hdd in ubuntu, so i can reproduce the same for another machine?
[15:49] <bernz> Dillizar, also, i noticed you said "to make a directory in /etc', but i might have mistakenly said to do that; you should create it in '/mnt' rather (e.g. 'sudo mkdir /mnt/phone')
[15:49] <orifice_work> I can make a movie from a series of jpegs, but I don't know how to dynamically generate a stream from incoming jpegs.
[15:50] <unop> orifice_work, http://electron.mit.edu/~gsteele/ffmpeg/

[15:50] <shadeslayer> !gyachi
[15:50] <spasticteapot> shadeslayer: And bottom. I've got two of them.
[15:50] <blodski> !clone
[15:50] <wh4vn_> @shadeslayer: why?
[15:50] <unop> khirr, where is the field coming from?
[15:50] <oCean_> khirr: field? or string [ "$string" = "" ] or test -z $string
[15:50] <wh4vn_> @shadeslayer: why?
[15:51] <Dillizar> bernz i have made in mnt so now i need to sudo mount something
[15:51] <blodski> !automate
[15:51] <uaneme> ikonia: its an acer 802.11 netcard with signal up tech
[15:51] <Dillizar> :D
[15:51] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: and they do not work from the begining??
[15:51] <shadeslayer> wh4vn: ??
[15:51] <khirr> unop oCean i'm trying while [$name == ""]; do
[15:51] <Dykam> Hmm, my dpkg is broken. It doesn't want to install stuff from command-line anymore
[15:51] <bernz> Dillizar, yes, you're almost there -- we need to identify the storage volume in '/dev'... something like 'sdc1' (or 'sda1', 'sdb1', etc...)
[15:51] <wh4vn_> @shadeslayer: you said "!gyachi"
[15:51] <khirr> unop oCean but i see ./montar.sh: 14: [l: not found
[15:51] <scout_> test
[15:52] <unop> khirr,  if [[ -z $name ]]; then ...
[15:52] <Dillizar> bernz, Disk /dev/sdc: 11 MB, 11403264 bytes this??
[15:52] <shadeslayer> so??
[15:52] <spasticteapot> shadeslayer: Not when I boot, no. They used to but I had a big system crash a few days ago and I have to run them manually.
[15:52] <bernz> Dillizar, FWIW, USB storage volumes show up in /dev as 'sd?' because they are considered to be "(S)CSI (D)isk" (hence 'sd')
[15:52] <scout_> #/list
[15:52] <tk3> is there an ubuntu / gnome tool that sets up dual head / desktop spanning or is it an edit xorg.conf job?
[15:52] <khirr> unop i need a while
[15:52] <oCean_> khirr: yes, what unop said is a possibility
[15:52] <unop> khirr, if you use [  you need a space between [ and it's argument .. [ is just another command
[15:52] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: try #xfce for a really good response
[15:52] <spasticteapot> shadeslayer: I've also got a problem with my computer crashing every time I shut it down.
[15:52] <unop> khirr,  while [[ -z $name ]]; do ...; done
[15:52] <bernz> Dillizar, almost -- /dev/sdc is that actual disk (partition table and all); if it contains usable data, it will have at least one partition (probably labeled 'sdc1')
[15:52] <spasticteapot> shadeslayer: There's a #xubuntu channel, actually. It's just empty.
[15:53] <khirr> unop when i use space i see this message [: 7: ==: unexpected operator
[15:53] <oCean_> khirr: use '=
[15:53] <oCean_> only once
[15:53] <bernz> Dillizar, do you have more than '/dev/sdc' (e.g. also '/dev/sdc1' (possibly more, like '/dev/sdc2', ...))
[15:53] <shadeslayer> spasticteapot: #xfce is specifically for the desktop environment,not empty
[15:53] <wh4vn_> I have a problem: I try to install gyachi on my ubuntu 8.10 but cannot, it shows many errors, I corrected some, and stop when this happened: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123383/ Someone can help? Thank you!
[15:53] <uaneme> how do i rollback network updates
[15:54] <Dillizar> bernz,  i have /dev/sda 1
[15:54] <unop> khirr, right, yes, that's because the shell expanded your expression to.  while [ whatever_was_in_name == ]; do ...
[15:54] <kristian_> what is a good alternative to vso convertxtodvd for windows on linux?
[15:54] <ikonia> uaneme: acer isn't the chipset - check out the chipset with lspic
[15:54] <Dillizar> ^:)
[15:54] <ikonia> uaneme: acer isn't the chipset - check out the chipset with lspci
[15:54] <uaneme> ok ikonia
[15:54] <bernz> Dillizar, let's switch to PM
[15:55] <gnr`> what is the command to make the next line in terminal root, so i can run commands like ./configure
[15:55] <Dykam> Hmm, my dpkg is broken. It doesn't want to install stuff from command-line anymore
[15:55] <unop> gnr`, ctrl+c
 you shouldnt need to be root to configure
[15:56] <uaneme> i see.. ikonia its realtec RTL8101E/RTL8102E
[15:56] <unop> Dykam, put the contents of your commands up on a pastebin for us to see
[15:56] <uaneme> and also an atheros wifi
[15:56] <CarlFK> IntuitiveNipple: what mail list/form/#chan would you suggest I poke around in (re: touch screen)
[15:56] <gnr`> spideyman, sudo ./ddrescue-1.10.tar.gz  ??
[15:56] <IntuitiveNipple> CarlFK: I've not idea; it's not something I use
[15:56] <Dykam> unop, just aptitude (re)install randompackage
[15:57] <Dykam> it displays which pakcages it is going to install (nill) how ,many (nill) and ends
[15:57] <unop> Dykam, that's the command, we're interested in the output it generates
[15:57] <Dykam> unop, it's dutch...
[15:57] <Mael-ubuntu> Hello!
[15:57] <unop> Dykam, that's fine .. i can translate
[15:57] <wh4vn_> noone can help?
[15:57] <n2diy> how do you tell when sbackup has finished?
 unzip the package with tar -zxvf filename
[15:58] <wh4vn_> I ask a question many times
[15:58] <uaneme> strange thing is that auto eht0 worked fine BEFORE the update   .. and it is a brand new install
[15:58] <mancini> 3
[15:58] <unop> Dykam, hmm, how did you ascertain that dpkg is broken then?
[15:59] <Dykam> unop, becasue it doesn't install it?
[15:59] <gnr`> and then spideyman?
[15:59] <hesselink> spideyman: no luck with amarok or the firewire-id. The firewire-id can't be found (it's an old 3rd gen, not a 3rd gen nano) and amarok gives errors on transfer.
[16:00] <oCean_> wh4vn_: libtoolize package is called 'libtool'
 then cd into the unzipped directory look for configure if you see it ./configure
[16:00] <Dykam> unop, no idea?
[16:00] <unop> Dykam, what does this give you?  apt-cache policy monodevelop-query
[16:00] <Dykam> oh
[16:01] <unop> !info monodevelop-query
 gtkpod might automount it
[16:01] <wh4vn_> oCean: I will try, thanks!
[16:01] <unop> Dykam, heh -- see what ubottu just said ^^
[16:01] <oCean_> wh4vn_: however, Seems you're trying to build ddrescue, which is also in repos (apt-get install ddrescue)
[16:01] <uaneme> ikonia: is the realtek nic a problem kid?
[16:01] <Dykam> unop, why does it then display in the search results...
[16:01] <hesselink> spideyman: it's mounted, and all apps can read it, but writing doesn't work
[16:01] <Dykam> and doesn't give an error
[16:01] <sureis> Hi, do a lot of people use Elementary OS?
[16:01] <hesselink> even though mount tells me: /dev/sdc2 on /media/IPOD type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)
[16:01] <wh4vn_> oCean: ddrescue?
[16:02] <unop> Dykam, are you on intrepid?
[16:02] <ikonia> uaneme: well it's a closed source driver as I recall
[16:02] <Dykam> euhm, think so, wait
[16:02] <wh4vn_> oCean: why I must install it?
[16:02] <ikonia> uaneme: so the update may have broken that
[16:02] <uaneme> o hell
[16:02] <Dykam> yes unop
[16:02] <oCean_> wh4vn_: sorry, I am mistaken
[16:02] <unop> Dykam, it appears to be a virtual package - that's why - http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=intrepid&keywords=monodevelop-query
 yes thats why i had to manually write the firewire id cause it sees it but cannot write to it
[16:02] <Dykam> oh
[16:03] <oCean_> wh4vn_: that had nothing to do with you
[16:03] <uaneme> ikonia: is there a way to rollback that update?
[16:03] <unop> Dykam, seems like it is provided by monodevelop-database
[16:03] <ikonia> uaneme: not really - I'd look at fixing the issue
[16:03] <hesselink> spideyman: ok, but the tool on your link says "Couldn't read xml sysinfo from /dev/sdc", and the manual method doesn't turn up an ID either
[16:03] <Dykam> but, unop, I based my opinion of dpkg being broken, because of an error message when about someting saying  ->cache() when updating
[16:03] <uaneme> ok
[16:03] <unop> Dykam, hmm, well, do you still have that error message?
[16:04] <Dykam> nope... few hours ago
[16:04] <oCean_> gnr`: Saw that you tried unpacking ddrescue-xx.tar.gz ... ddrescue is also in the repos, install it using apt-get
 Im outta ideas persistence is the key
[16:04] <Dykam> produced by the gui-updater intregrated into ubuntu
[16:04] <wh4vn_> oCean: I still get another error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/123396/
[16:04] <unop> Dykam, well, if you get it again .. come back and we'll see what we can do
[16:04] <Dykam> :P
[16:05] <hesselink> spideyman: I've already spent a day googling... but thanks, I'll keep looking
[16:05] <uaneme> ive read about a post where the firewall was locked after an update but far as i can see ip tables are accepting all traffic
[16:05] <oCean_> wh4vn_: sorry, dunno anything about that
 sorry i couldnt be more help
[16:06] <wh4vn_> oCean: :) Not at all
[16:06] <outlier> How does one find the changelog or readme or whatever for different version of a package?  I have flashplugin-nonfree in like 4 versions in the repository (9.0.124, 9.0.152, 9.0.159, and one marked <IP_ADDRESS>...really9.0.124.)
[16:06] <Dykam> unop, are there nog logs of the update-manager?
[16:06] <unop> Dykam, errm, i dunno - i don't run a standard gnome desktop
[16:06] <Dykam> ...
[16:07] <Dykam> anyone else?
[16:07] <ubuntistas> adobe air is a bin file how can i install it?
[16:07] <unop> Dykam, maybe someone else knows?  but i doubt it anyway
[16:07] <ubuntistas> any clue?
[16:07] <Dykam> ubuntistas, hmm, I've done it few months ago
[16:07] <giaco> hello
[16:07] <unop> ubuntistas,  chmod +x /path/to/file.bin;  /path/to/file.bin
[16:07] <methods> is the new catalyst driver supported ?
[16:07] <Dykam> exec <binfile>?
[16:07] <uaneme> ikonia:  what if i boot with the other kernel?
[16:07] <Dykam> oh, yeah
[16:08] <giaco> I've made "dd if=mydiskimage.img of=/dev/sdb1" . How can I check the progress of the execution? Any feeback?
[16:08] <ikonia> uaneme: try it, it will probably still work
[16:08] <ubuntistas> unop no file or directory man
[16:08] <unop> giaco,  kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)
[16:09] <unop> ubuntistas, you have to substitute the right path and file there
[16:09] <uaneme> now booting with 27-7 kernel
[16:09] <bernz> giaco, unless you provided a switch that shows feedback (some kind of "verbose" option), if there is one, there isn't an wasy way
[16:09] <ubuntistas> how i can't get it unop iam anewbie
[16:09] <bernz> there isn't an easy way, either
[16:09] <oCean_> unop: kill ?
[16:09] <unop> bernz, sure there is .. see my response
[16:09] <wh4vn_> oCean: :) I
[16:10] <tbalthazar> unop: just to tell you that your solution did the trick. I can now bypass the mysql root password prompt. FYI, the commit : http://github.com/suitmymind/ubuntu-machine/commit/a0eb036b56a3a95e58e669944920767d08912097  Thanks.
[16:10] <hesselink> Anyone have any ideas: I'm still having trouble writing to my 3rd gen ipod over firewire in 8.10. USB works, reading over firewire works. It says it's mounted rw, but no apps (gtkpod/amarok/rhythmbox) can write.
[16:10] <unop> oCean_, yes, kill
[16:10] <unop> $ whatis kill
[16:10] <unop> kill (1)             - send a signal to a process
[16:10] <wh4vn_> oCean: :) I've found a deb pakage for gyachi, it
[16:10] <bernz> giaco, i stand corrected :-)  (and now i know something new too ;-)
[16:10] <wh4vn_> allright
[16:10] <Travis-42> hello, how do I restart sound?   It seems the guy was asking 'how to check progress on dd command'
[16:11] <Seveas> Travis-42, killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio &
[16:11] <uaneme> but how to fix it for 27-11
[16:11] <unop> oCean_, ok then, what does kill do?
[16:11] <unop> ubuntistas,   where did you save the .bin file?
[16:12] <ubuntistas> desktop
[16:12] <ubuntistas> unop
[16:12] <Travis-42> Seveas: not stopping the sound
[16:12] <Travis-42> I think I'm actually using ALSA
[16:12] <unop> ubuntistas,  cd ~/Desktop;  chmod +x the_file_name.bin && the_file_name.bin
[16:13] <unop> ubuntistas, sorry, made a mistake.    cd ~/Desktop;  chmod +x the_file_name.bin && ./the_file_name.bin
[16:13] <unop> oCean_,  man dd | grep -i kill
[16:14] <Travis-42> "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop" stops the noise, but when I turn it back on, the noise is back?
[16:14] <giaco> unop, are you sure that that command wont stop the dd execution?
[16:15] <bernz> Travis-42, perhaps then it's another process that's creating the sound which has gone zombie?
[16:15] <unop> giaco, no as SIGUSR1 is not a termination signal
[16:15] <Travis-42> bernz: Hmm, I'll start exiting things
[16:15] <bernz> giaco, if you're thinking "kill" would be better named "sig", i'd agree.. but it's too late for that ;-)
[16:15] <unop> giaco, see the dd(1) manpage
[16:16] <uaneme> ikonia:  i found a few posts on the forum regarding Realtek on 27-7 and 27-11
[16:16] <yuri_> ive got an onboard ati hd3200. with the fglrx drivers I get screen flickering. i updated to the latest drivers but still get flickering. any ideas?
[16:16] <giaco> unop, I've a problem, my pid is 1499 but $1499 returns "kill: (499) - No such process"
[16:16] <giaco> it trips the leading 1
[16:17] <giaco> *strips
[16:17] <Pici> giaco: Drop the $
[16:17] <unop> giaco, who asked you to put a $ there?
[16:17] <unop> :)
[16:17] <outlier> What is the correct version of flashplugin-nonfree to install into Hardy (or Intrepid) at this time?
[16:17] <oCean_> unop: aha! have to admit I did not know that the USR1 signal did that to dd.
[16:17] <giaco> I've interpreted your suggestion in a wrong syntax
[16:18] <giaco> it's working :-)
[16:18] <giaco> thank you! I didn't know about this USR1 trick
[16:18] <unop> giaco,  kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)  # would have worked quite literally
[16:19] <giaco> I wrote $1499 instead of 1499
[16:19] <il_padrino> !package lftp-ssl
[16:19] <unop> giaco, what i mean is.   $(pidof dd)   would have found the PID of dd and passed that on to kill
[16:19] <il_padrino> ? lftp-ssl
[16:19] <ubuntistas> unop the file name is AdobeAIRInstaller
[16:19] <bob999> hi - is anyone aware of an channel for skype for linux?
[16:20] <il_padrino> i'm looking for lftp-ssl for ubuntu :S
[16:20] <il_padrino> any idea?
[16:20] <unop> ubuntistas, sorry, made a mistake.    cd ~/Desktop;  chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin && ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
[16:20] <Dykam> unop, can't find it, only plain logs of succesfull operations
[16:20] <Seveas> il_padrino, apt-get install lftp
[16:20] <bernz> unop, on that subject, what if there's more than one same-named process running -- how does the shell evaluate $(pidof x) then?
[16:20] <mimilus> hello
[16:20] <arvind_khadri> !hi | mimilus
[16:21] <il_padrino> Seveas, there is only lftp no with ssl
[16:21] <il_padrino> :S
[16:21] <Seveas> il_padrino, the lftp in the 'lftp' package can do ssl as well
[16:21] <bob999> can anyone tell me how i can read the chat history in the Ubuntu skype release?
[16:21] <reanimation> hello
[16:21] <hesselink> Anyone have any ideas: I'm still having trouble writing to my 3rd gen ipod over firewire in 8.10. USB works, reading over firewire works. It says it's mounted rw, but no apps (gtkpod/amarok/rhythmbox) can write.
[16:21] <reanimation> hey guys i am having a problem
[16:21] <shadeslayer> hi i need help with lm-sensors
[16:21] <unop> bernz, it'd fail .. the extra PIDs would become arguments to kill (which it wouldn't understand)
[16:22] <ScottG489> How can I allow files to be renamed when I click on them when highlighted? Right now the only way i can rename a file is by right clicking on it and selecting rename
[16:22] <shadeslayer> reanimation: go ahead all of us are listening
[16:22] <reanimation> some of my data is not removed from the trush
[16:22] <Seveas> unop, kill can kill multiple processes at once just fine :)
[16:22] <mimilus> Can I make a dist upgrade from gutsy to hardy with my personnal ubuntu mirror, it contains hardy components, if not what must i put on my mirror to do it ?
[16:22] <diesel> How do I change my default window manager?
[16:22] <shadeslayer> diesel: logout>options
[16:22] <Seveas> ScottG489, make sure to click on the name, not the icon
[16:23] <ScottG489> Seveas: Yea ive tried clicking pretty much every way lol
[16:23] <reanimation> even after changing the permission i am not able to remove that data
[16:23] <Seveas> ScottG489, well taht WFM in gnome :)
[16:23] <reanimation> please help me
[16:23] <shadeslayer> diesel: then change sessiom>window manager
[16:23] <ScottG489> Seveas: lol wait what?
[16:23] <arvind_khadri> mimilus, use the standard repos
[16:24] <Seveas> reanimation, you want everything in the trash gone?
[16:24] <Seveas> ScottG489, WFM == Works For Me :)
[16:24] <ScottG489> Seveas: Oh. hm :/
[16:24] <mimilus> arvind_khadri, I have a poor internet connection
[16:24] <SlimeyPete> urg
[16:24] <reanimation> no !!! i just delet some data from a folder but these data is not removed from trush
[16:24] <SlimeyPete> is there any way to install Eclipse without it depending on GCJ?
[16:25] <SlimeyPete> I want to use the Sun JVM
[16:25] <SlimeyPete>  / JDK
[16:25] <Seveas> SlimeyPete, I was wondering the same recently. Habg on while I find out
[16:25] <mimilus> arvind_khadri, and maybe i'll have to dist upgrade some other gutsy to hardy
[16:25] <arvind_khadri> mimilus, its better to do it that way...or get a alternate cd from somewhere and use it to upgrade
[16:25] <arvind_khadri> !alternate | mimilus
[16:25] <testi> Where can I find e binary debian linux kernel package for asus eee, that won't have any problems with SD cards like the current newest kernel available from array.org or whatever kernel easypeasy comes with?
[16:26] <Pici> testi: I'd start by asking in #debian
[16:26] <reanimation> hey guys how to update hardy to interprid
[16:26] <tonyyarusso> !upgrade | reanimation
[16:26] <Chousuke> SlimeyPete: looks like you just need something to provide the java2-runtime virtual package
[16:26] <mimilus> arvind_khadri, When i've done my own mirror it was for can dist upgrade directly with it :(
[16:26] <testi> Pici, no - for ubuntu
[16:26] <Chousuke> SlimeyPete: sun-java6-jre provides it
[16:27] <Seveas> SlimeyPete, install the sun things first and apt-get -oApt::Get::InstallRecommends=false install eclipse
[16:27] <testi> Pici, Ubuntu Intrepid
[16:27] <Pici> testi: You aren't going to find one, thats why projects such as EasyPeasy exist.
[16:27] <uaneme> ubuntu really needs a rollback system for kernel upgrades
[16:27] <bernz> unop, i dropped there for a second and maybe missed your response: how does $(pidof x) evaluate when there's more than one x process running?
[16:27] <Chousuke> uaneme: rollback? just boot the old kernel and uninstall the new one? :/
[16:27] <Seveas> Chousuke, eclipse-platform Recommends: eclipse-platform-gcj, so if you don't disable the installation of Recommended packages, you'll end up with gcj anyway
[16:27] <testi> Pici - Is easy peasy dead?
[16:28] <arvind_khadri> mimilus, i guess you can
[16:28] <klystik> Hi, I edited the cron.deny file, removed the user "nobody" and added "nobody" in cron.allow. I can now create a cron command like "crontab /path/to/command.txt", how would I edit this cron in the future from command line though? Without editing the file where crons are listed?
[16:28] <Chousuke> Seveas: right, forgot that they're installed by default on Ubuntu :/
[16:28] <Pici> testi: I don't think so.  Its just not an official Ubuntu variabnt.
[16:28] <unop> bernz, with regards to kill .. it would send the signal to each one of them
[16:28] <SlimeyPete> Seveas: thanks
[16:28] <uaneme> thx Chousuke
[16:28] <uaneme> !!!
[16:28] <Seveas> klystik, crontab -e
[16:28] <bernz> unop, oh i see, it's 'kill' who understands '$(pidof )'... :-) cheers
[16:29] <unop> bernz, so i'd say it depends on what the entire command was and whether or not multiple PIDs pose a problem
[16:29] <unop> bernz, no, bash does the expansion and passes it on to kill
[16:29] <bernz> unop, oh, okay, got it
[16:32] <Menothusis> My firefox will not start, i always get the message "Firefox is alredy running, but is not responding", I have rebooted my computer three times now and still get the same message.
[16:32] <Sigkill> hi guy's and gals
[16:33] <Sigkill> im having some trouble using my id_dsa, Im connecting to my home ubuntu server, and im trying to connect to another machine
[16:33] <bernz> Menothusis, i've had that happen on firefox-XP as well, so it must be that FF has some kind of state file somewhere that should have been erased, but still exists, and it's "blocking" the startup
[16:33] <Sigkill> the ssh client ask's for password to unlock my id_dsa file, but it should not be password protected... it has something to do with gnome-keyring i think
[16:33] <Menothusis> bernz, any idea where i could find this file?
[16:33] <bernz> Menothusis, that's just a wild guess, and even if on the right track, i have no idea specifically which file or where it might be ;-/
[16:33] <diginux> Sigkill: when you seutp the key did it have a password on it?
[16:33] <n2diy> I've been playing with sbackup, and just did a restore on my test box, now I can't open a terminal on it!?
[16:34] <Menothusis> could removing and re-instaling fix the problem?
[16:34] <unop> Menothusis,  find ~/.mozilla/firefox/ -iname "*lock*" -type f -exec rm -vi {} +
[16:34] <bernz> Menothusis, however, on 'nixy systems, it's easier to guess; check your home folder for one starting with '.' ("hidden"), for firefox's local settings; maybe there's a file in there called "something-session" or "something-lock" or similar which just needs erasing
[16:34] <unop> Menothusis, that command should find the lockfiles and ask you if you want to remove them
[16:34] <klystik> Seveas: how do I exit from crontab -e? (ssh n00b)
[16:34] <bernz> there, unop's suggestion sounds good
[16:34] <Sigkill> diginux: no, and i use it without password all the time, when im using gnome without problems.. but know when im connecting frmo remote, it doesnt work
[16:35] <unop> klystik, if the editor is vi.   ESC :wq
[16:35] <Seveas> klystik, depends on your editor. I think you're using nano, so ctrl+O and then ctrl+X
[16:35] <diginux> Sigkill: so if you open a shell, and ssh, the key works fine, but some gui program you try to use asks you for a pw to unlock the key?
[16:36] <Sigkill> diginux: indeed, the first time after i've logined
[16:36] <Menothusis> unop, i get the message cannot find command "iname"
[16:36] <diginux> Sigkill: what program is asking for it?
[16:36] <unop> Menothusis, that entire line is one command
[16:36] <Sigkill> diginux: im not at home right know, so im not 100% sure. but i think its the gnome-keyring-manager?
[16:36] <unop> Menothusis, copy and paste it in your terminal
[16:37] <Menothusis> I get ".mozilla/firefox/: is a directory" now
[16:37] <ubuntistas> adobe air is slow and it's crap
[16:37] <Menothusis> unop, nvm
[16:37]  * bernz . o O ( someone needs to invent typable delimiters that are widely-intuitively-understood to mean "do not type these, but everything between them" :-)
[16:38] <erUSUL> bernz: « » ¿?
[16:38] <bernz> erUSUL, those look good: how are they done on a "standard" (US) keyboard? :-)
[16:38] <Menothusis> unop, would it make any difference if the profile i'm using is in a different directory?
[16:38] <erUSUL> bernz: most people do not know how to get those out of their keyboars ;)
[16:39] <erUSUL> bernz: dunno in my spanish keyboard are AltGr + z or x
[16:39] <unop> Menothusis, yes, you have to remove the lockfiles from the directory that contains the profile firefox will use
[16:40] <twistedr> does nybody have some idea where i could get some php related helpo
[16:40] <bernz> erUSUL, yeah, i guess i would need to remap or something - my AltGr is not "special", just a regular Alt (without switching layouts)
[16:40] <Seveas> twistedr, #php
[16:40] <twistedr> thx
[16:41] <Menothusis> unop, that didnt fix the problem
[16:42] <unop> Menothusis, did it ask you to delete any files?
[16:42] <Menothusis> yes several, including a file called .parentlock
[16:43] <unop> Menothusis, are you sure firefox isn't running now?   ps aux | grep -i firefox
[16:43] <ubuntistas> i have an adobe air gadget folder how can i delete it ?, it has a root permision
[16:44] <gotgenes> I have an Alternate Install CD. Is it still possible to do a minimal install per the Server CD using this installer?
[16:44] <n8tuserf> ubuntistas -> root ownership?
[16:44] <smthnelse> Hi, I'm using Debian 5.0 and X just crashed! I can't get it to start again and I know this is the wrong channel but I get a message saying I'm banned, I can't see any reason for that other than being there with Xchat before X crashed and maybe only 1 connection allowed..? Anyway, anyone think you could help me out? Possibly in pm since it's a bit OT
[16:44] <tonyyarusso> gotgenes: yes.
[16:44] <Pici> smthnelse: Try asking in #debian
[16:44] <ubuntistas> what do u mean?
[16:44] <smthnelse> Pici: read my message
[16:44] <Menothusis> unop, it returns one result, grep -i firefox
[16:44] <ubuntistas> i installed it now and i wanna delete it
[16:44] <tonyyarusso> gotgenes: I believe it's a pretty obvious option from the menu.
[16:45] <gotgenes> tonyyarusso: I selected "command-line system"
[16:45] <Pici> smthnelse: We do not handle Debian support here.  YOu can ask in #freenode for help figuring out your ban reason
[16:45] <unop> Menothusis, run the find command again.. see if it finds anything
[16:45] <gotgenes> from the F4 menu
[16:45] <smthnelse> Pici: I'm getting a message saying I'm banned but I haven't done anything.
[16:45] <Stevethepirate> Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help?
[16:45] <bernz> ubuntistas, it's not always the case, but if a file/dir is root-owned, you should ask yourself "should i really be deleting this?" (and if sure, 'sudo rm x' or 'sudo rmdir x' where 'x' is the thing to lose)
[16:45] <tonyyarusso> gotgenes: That'll do it, yeah.
[16:45] <gotgenes> tonyyarusso: rock on, thanks so much
[16:45] <n2diy> I'm trying to do an sbackup over ssh to my test box, and I'm getting permission errors. The target dir. is /var, which is owned by root, and is in the admin group. Should I enable "others" to write to the dir, or add myself to the group?
[16:45] <Menothusis> unop, still just returns grep -i firefox as the only result
[16:46] <unop> Menothusis, the find command shouldn't return that :)
[16:46] <bernz> ubuntistas, also 'man rm' to find out about '-r' option (CAREFUL!)
[16:46] <ubuntistas> MINI Cuckoo Clock
[16:46] <Menothusis> unop, the process no longer exsists, so i cannot kill it
[16:46] <ubuntistas> this the file how can i remove it?
[16:47] <Menothusis> unop, oops
[16:47] <ubuntistas> bernz
[16:47] <Menothusis> unop, no results
[16:47] <bernz> ubuntistas, you could do 'sudo rm -r "MINI Cuckoo Clock"' with the double quotes included, but not the single quotes
[16:48] <ubuntistas> ?
[16:48] <bernz> ubuntistas, and this requires you to be in the directory which contains "MINI Cuckoo Clock" subdirectory
[16:48] <Daremonai> is there a tool i can us to see if my domain is at risk?
[16:48] <unop> Menothusis, you mentioned something about your profile being in another directory? is that the case?
[16:48] <bernz> ubuntistas, but if you are thinking to remove an application/library just by deleting it, perhaps reconsider and use apt/synaptic/aptitude/etc to do a "proper" removal
[16:49] <Menothusis> unop, yes, i ran your command in both directories
[16:49] <Menothusis> unop, no results
[16:50] <bernz> Daremonai, at risk of what? the only actual risk is social engineering -- if a human can convince the human who is "safeguarding" the data that contains domain info (registry), with money, or whatever, to make that data insecure, all bets are off... otherwise, no one can just "steal" your domain
[16:50] <sieken> i have some problem with my internet connection on my aspire one ebook, or whatever they're called. after i installed some updates i hasn't been able to connect on either wireless or the normal wired eth0-thing. anyone know whats up?
[16:50] <unop> Menothusis, errm, did you run the command in or on both directories - there's a difference
[16:50] <bernz> (obviously, if you let it expire, it can be scooped up by people)
[16:50] <Stevethepirate> Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help?
[16:50] <unop> Menothusis, to run it in a directory.     find . -iname "*lock*" -type f -exec rm -vi {} +
[16:50] <Menothusis> unop, on, i changed the path in your find command
[16:51] <bernz> so, ubuntistas, you have an app you want to remove from your system, right?
[16:51] <unop> Menothusis, hmm .. ok, try backing up your profile directory then deleting it
[16:51] <ubuntistas> no just a folder bernz i just delted it with the command u sent me
[16:52] <unop> Menothusis, you can always import settings, bookmarks, etc if firefox works later
[16:52] <Daremonai> bernz, I'm talking about the possibility for someone to find a vulnerability and perhaps do malicious acts to it, or some bad configuration that allows intruders to take advantage of my system. I was on dnsstuff.com I ran the domain health check, it told me i have 2 'vulnerabilities' or smth, but it wouldn't tell me what they were.
[16:52] <bernz> ubuntistas, okay, great... again, be careful when using "rm -r" because it can be VERY destructive; always double-check your command line when deleting (or massive modification) is involved ;-)
[16:53] <n2diy> I'm trying to do an sbackup over ssh to my test box, and I'm getting permission errors. The target dir. is /var, which is owned by root, and is in the admin group. Should I enable "others" to write to the dir, or add myself to the group?
[16:53] <ubuntistas> ok why destructive>
[16:53] <ubuntistas> ?
[16:53] <blodski> is ubuntu picky when moving settings etc to a new pc with different hw?
[16:53] <bernz> Daremonai, oh, i see... well, not that there *aren't* risks, but keep in mind a lot of "businesses" depend on your fear of the unknown (e.g. anti-virus makers, *fake*-anti-virus makers, etc)
[16:54] <bernz> Daremonai, but does it actual describe the vulnerabilities, or does it want you to sign up to find out more?
[16:54] <Daremonai> bernz, true... which is why i'm asking here to see if there's a way to check for current known vulnerabilities, etc.
[16:54] <bernz> Daremonai, i think they might be referring more to ways your actual site can get hacked
[16:54] <Daremonai> bernz, sign up and pay.
[16:55] <Menothusis> unop, didnt work either, could re-installing firefox fix the problem?
[16:55] <ubuntistas> does the terminal has a history
[16:55] <ubuntistas> ?
[16:55] <bernz> Daremonai, yeah, so to me, it sounds kinda sketchy (they just want your money)... it's like those 'you are the 100000th visitor' ads -- how could they possibly be real, right? so therefore it's just a "lure" to get your money
[16:55] <Daremonai> bernz, that's basically it, I would like to see if there are some empty holes that need to be shut, and where they are.
[16:56] <Stevethepirate> Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help?
[16:56] <jester7> is anyone here familiar with setting up LVM?
[16:56] <bernz> Daremonai, unfortunately, there's no quick and simple scan to do that, but more general stuff: e.g. check ALL  open ports on your gateway (e.g. router) -- ONLY open those that you actually need (e.g. 80 for HTTP, and so on)
[16:56] <unop> Menothusis, it might do - yea
[16:56] <Daremonai> bernz, possibly, which is why i am not going to pay them for such stuff.. but am still looking for a way to like 'scan' it.
[16:56] <Blinny> What packages create/use the ~/.wapi directory ?
[16:56] <kickaha> hi
[16:56] <MightyTweek> Daremonai: The tests that dnsstuff.com performs aren't for "vulnerabilities" per se, they are for problems which could affect people's ability to reach your site. Check their sample report to see what kind of stuff they check: http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreportsmpl.ch?domain=amazon.com
[16:56] <bernz> Daremonai, also, set your gateway to block/ignore/drop all unsolicited ICMP stuff (PING, etc) because it makes it harder to "feel" the server from the other side (hacker's end)
[16:56] <Daremonai> bernz, I run netstat all the time with a (watch), the ports that are open are the ones that i want.
[16:57] <jbwiv> can someone remind me how to start up another Xserver on port :1 and point it to gdm ? I know how to start X on a different port "X :1" but not how to point to gdm...
[16:57] <g00se_> Can someone tell me which java plugins are available for jaunty and Firefox 3?
[16:57] <_infidel> Can somebody explain me this error please http://pastebin.com/m6af3435c
[16:57] <Daremonai> bernz, my ISP already has those done... I cannot ping or be pinged atm.
[16:57] <leet0s> Hi, anyone knows ICMP tunneling ?
[16:57] <bernz> Daremonai, awesome -- from the sounds of it, you've already got the basics covered (and often that's enough for 99% of the time)... just keep reading this and that about security, and you'll be fine -- it's a constant uphill battle, security, because the hackers are always one step ahead ;-)
[16:58] <Menothusis> unop, didnt fix it either
[16:58] <bernz> Daremonai, i've heard of a "hardened ubuntu" project which (besides being topical) might be of interest to you  :-)
[16:58] <Daremonai> bernz, true.. am also taking an Internet Security course at uni so I can understand more about this stuff and to see how to prevent or at least try to :)
[16:59] <Menothusis> unop, fixed it, deleted .mozilla
[16:59] <Daremonai> bernz, cool, will check it out
[16:59] <unop> Menothusis, i'm just wondering if you are actually using the profile you think you are using.
[16:59] <unop> Menothusis, ahh
[16:59] <jester7> anybody at all using LVM?
[16:59] <Menothusis> unop, i was using the profile  i thought i was, its shared between windows and linux
[16:59] <_infidel> Can somebody explain me this error please http://pastebin.com/m6af3435c. Perhaps missing ssl packages? Just guessin
[17:00] <Stevethepirate> Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help?
[17:00] <bernz> unop, could Menothusis put a "watch" of file-touches, and then run FF, and check what files it grabbed at to see what needs deleting? (i don't know if such a "watch for handle attempts on a file" util exists, but...)
[17:00] <Stevethepirate> leet0s: I've used ICMP tunnels before
[17:00] <Huufarted> Anybody know of a good package used through Apache that would let me browse and play my music collection?  Perhaps adds a flash or java plugin with play/pause/ff/rew buttons?
[17:00] <unop> bernz, strace firefox
[17:00] <bernz> nice! :-)  short 'n' sweet
[17:00] <Daremonai> MightyTweek, thanks for this, I just changed amazon.com to my site, and i got some statistics :)
[17:00]  * bernz runs 'strace firefox' for fun
[17:01] <kristian_> i used to use vso convertxtodvd when i was on windows, to automatically convert and burn xvid movie to dvd so it would be playable on a dvd player. now that i have changed from windows to ubuntu, i want to find an alternative for this operations, is there any programs that can do this in one go, such as vso convertxtodvd can do, or is there simply no program for this? thanks to anyone who can help. :-)
[17:01] <bernz> OMG, that is the BEST new thing i've learned in months
[17:01] <MightyTweek> Daremonai: Nice!
[17:01] <Daremonai> MightyTweek, it showed I only have 1 warning:
[17:01] <Daremonai> "WARNING: Your SOA (Start of Authority) record states that your master (primary) name server is: rack4.easydns.com.. However, that server is not listed at the parent servers as one of your NS records! This is legal, but you should be sure that you know what you are doing. "
[17:02]  * bernz invokes any listening deities to bless the creators/maintainers of 'strace'
[17:02] <Menothusis> I have three hard-drives installed in my computer, each time i reboot, the drive changes its /dev/ location. For example on of my HDs went from /dev/sda5 to /dev/sdb5, making my /etc/fstab rules invalid.
[17:03] <Daremonai> MightyTweek, hmm I might be wrong about something :S
[17:03] <MightyTweek> _infidel: looks like the FOO-req.pem file does not exist
[17:03]  * bernz . o O ( i can't believe i've never run into 'strace' before! )
[17:04] <sipior> bernz: wait until dtrace makes it to linux: strace seems like a flint-tipped spear in comparison.
[17:04] <sinara> ..
[17:04] <khirr> how could i use permision 666 when i mount a unit?
[17:05] <sipior> khirr: what sort of filesystem? (i assume unit == disk :-)
[17:05] <khirr> sudo mount owner -o sync -w -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sony
[17:05] <MightyTweek> Daremonai: I'm afraid I might not be much help without knowing the specifics of your hosting configuration
[17:06] <khirr> sipior sudo mount owner -o sync -w -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sony but i just can copy files how root, i'd like can copy how user
[17:06] <bernz> sipior, i'm salivating... :-D
[17:06] <Daremonai> MightyTweek, such as?
[17:06] <bernz> sipior, (P.S. awesome metaphor)
[17:06] <craigbass1976> trying to mount up a windows drive that crapped out on me.  Unable to open /dev/sdb  Ran chkdisk in windows first, and THAT crapped out eventually.  Any ideas?  I need a file on this drive
[17:06] <Daremonai> MightyTweek, do you mind if we take it to PM or smth?
[17:07] <bernz> craigbass1976, can you run the chkdsk again (and again if necessary) until it "succeeds"?
[17:07] <ProfeticX> are there any wubigurus here?  I'm having trouble with my virtual disks...
[17:07] <bernz> craigbass1976, AFAIK, the ntfs-3g driver [you're probably using] wants windows volumes to be cleanly dismounted by windows; if they are "dangling", it knows, and it's afraid to touch them; you can force it, however, with a switch
[17:07] <khirr> sudo mount owner -o sync -w -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sony cant write how user, but i can how root, what could i do?
[17:08] <sipior> khirr: have a look at the umask option for mount.
[17:09] <ubuntistas> why firefox only tells me close tabs and not save and quit?
[17:09] <khirr> sipior how use umask opt? when should i write this
[17:09] <geirha> khirr: you can make yourself the owner of all files with -o sync,uid=$USER
[17:10] <ubuntistas> ?
[17:10] <ubuntistas> any clue?
[17:11] <khirr> geirha thanksssssssssss, it works
[17:11] <bernz> ubuntistas, either some option is disabled (go to 'Edit | Preferences' and tab around a bit), or you have a weird build that can't save (early version?)
[17:12]  * bernz . o O ( dad gummit, too slow! )
[17:12] <ProfeticX> are there any wubigurus here?  I'm having trouble with my virtual disks...
[17:12] <craigbass1976> bernz, it would have helped if I was sudoing.  DOH!
[17:12] <mohanohi> hi guys..
[17:13] <george222> hi, why isn't ffmpeg compiled with --enable-libmp3lame?
[17:13] <george222> i can't get any sound frmo it at all :/
[17:13] <mohanohi> i am building openmovieeditor software from source, it asked many dependency and i am downloading and building the building next dependent files..
[17:13] <unop> george222,  MP3 isn't an open standard/format
[17:13] <mohanohi> some of the files are already installed according to synaptic package mananger..
[17:14] <sieken> anyone know about the aspire one and a non-working connection?
[17:14] <vigge_sWe> hai
[17:14] <mohanohi> why doesn't it show up for the compiler?
[17:14] <george222> unop - oh. so why then do i get no sound when encoding with ffmpeg? isn't that kinda useless?
[17:14] <vigge_sWe> why can't I post on the ubunut forums?
[17:14] <Huufarted> issue with vsftpd.  Anonymous login, I'm trying to set the home directory to /music, but since I'm chroot'ing the anonymous login, it gives me an error because it doesn't match what the anonymous user is jailed to.  Anybody know how to change the chroot directory for a specific user (anonymous) in vsftpd?
[17:14] <bernz> craigbass1976, doh indeed! but did it complain about the "dirty" state of the windows volume, or that's okay now?
[17:15] <unop> george222, what are you doing with ffmpeg .. encoding an mp3?
[17:16] <mohanohi> now that software needs portaudio2.0 file.. i am unable to find the source from internet. But actually according to synaptic its already installed.. Why is it so? can pls anybody help me..
[17:16]  * ProfeticX will just burn the damn disk next time...   Wubi is toooo much trouble
[17:16] <diginux> mohanohi: did you install the -dev version?
[17:16] <mohanohi> hmmm.. need to check it out..
[17:17] <george222> unop - i'm transcoding a movie from mp4 to h264
[17:17] <vigge_sWe> does an admin need to activate my forum account before I can post?
[17:17] <lstarnes> mohanohi: you most likely need the -dev package that goes with it for the headers needed for development
[17:17] <unop> george222, what audio container are you using? if any?
[17:17] <mohanohi> ok.. thanx guys now i am installing..
[17:17] <cmdr_awesome> question, is there a room for people working on mobile technologies?
[17:17] <mohanohi> those dev files..
[17:17] <george222> unop - i'm not specifying one
[17:18] <arvind_khadri> cmdr_awesome, #openmoko
[17:18] <cmdr_awesome> arvind_khadri: I am talking like sms and mms
[17:18] <arvind_khadri> cmdr_awesome, no idea sorry
[17:18]  * ProfeticX haxors his wubi install with old Redhat 6 install madia checked out from the public library
[17:18] <bernz> ProfeticX, i'm still waiting to hear that someone has figured out how to boot from .ISO file contained in another file system on a USB stick so we can stop burning endless CDs for no good reason -- unless isolinux or something can already do that
[17:18] <frank_b> I want to connect my netbook to my desktop computer via an usb cable. both are running ubuntu. is there anything special I have to do or something to watch out for?
[17:19] <unop> george222, hmm. maybe you should specify one?
[17:19] <george222> unop, i've tried, and it's failed :(
[17:19] <cmdr_awesome> arvind_khadri: okies, I will ask in the openmoko room
[17:19] <george222> unop - should i rebbuild ffmpeg with libmp3lame?
[17:19] <cmdr_awesome> I was just looking for a simple mms webservice I could hook into, and I wasn't finding anything on google.
[17:20] <unop> george222, yea, no harm in that .. it might also fix your problem
[17:20]  * ProfeticX predicts only losers will use wubi in the year 3000
[17:20] <bsnider> where is the mount point for the archivemounter?
[17:20] <sieken> is there some way to restore old drivers? because my connection worked fine before i updated it, så i just want to check if that's the reason.
[17:21] <george222> unop - what audio container would you recommend? ac3?
[17:21] <Daremonai> is there a way to know which program is listening on a certain port?
[17:21] <danbhfive> sieken: boot with an older kernel
[17:21] <Nasra> any1 in here having related problem with Ubuntu box.....rebooting ...after shutting down all by itself?
[17:21] <Nasra> thanks
[17:21] <sieken> how do i do that?
[17:21] <sieken> i'm still fairly new to this.
[17:21] <danbhfive> sieken: pick it at the grub menu
[17:21] <unop> george222, it depends on the device that will play the transcoded file .. generally for PCs, ac3 will do fine
[17:22] <george222> thanks unop, i'll have a go at rebuilding
[17:22] <Stevethepirate> leet0s: I've used ICMP tunnels before
[17:22] <Stevethepirate> Hi. I installed firestarter, trying to basically have NAT for the internal network [eth0] to our external network [connected to eth1]... But, in effect, its not working, giving an Unknown Error when trying to start the firewall... Can anyone help?
[17:22] <unop> george222, you could try aac too
[17:23] <bernz> Daremonai, some mutation of netstat might work
[17:23] <mhiku> what can i download similar to wget but have multithreading capabilities?
[17:23] <vigge_sWe> does an admin need to activate my forum account before I can post?
[17:23] <Daremonai> bernz, yeah, I thought netstat can give that.. mmm.. i should find out what the command is
[17:23] <unop> vigge_sWe, you could ask in #ubuntu-forums
[17:24] <xubuntu> hello every body I would like to set up a mail server with xubuntu just locally for the moment and I have no domain
[17:24] <hay_ig2000> hi all, i resized my ubuntu partition and after that the boot time was prolonged by nearly 10 seconds
[17:24] <PMantis> Hi guys... not sure where else to ask, but a school system has 8.04 installed, and OpenOffice Writer won't spell check for any user that logs in. Trying to figure out what is missing.
[17:24]  * ProfeticX despises and nashes his teeth on wubi, shaves his head, and rues the day he chose to use WUBI
[17:24] <bernz> Daremonai, the '-p' option yields PID and process name ... that's probably useful... 'man nestat' away!  :-)
[17:24] <hay_ig2000> why is that?
[17:24] <Daremonai> bernz, thanks :)
[17:24] <bernz> erm, 'man netstat', that is
[17:24] <xubuntu> when i try to get mails with thunderbird it asks for a password for ubuntu and I set it to blank because there is no passwd
[17:24] <bernz> no worries
[17:24] <xubuntu> I have a login failure anyone has an idea ?
[17:25] <ma5t3rw1tt> I was wondering if anyone knew anything about getting 1280x800 resolution on a intel integrated chipset 954gm?
[17:25] <bernz> xubuntu, caps lock inadvertently on? (don't know if there's a "warning")
[17:25] <xubuntu> there is no password
[17:26] <xubuntu> it is the default ubuntu user
[17:26] <iGmail> How to uninstall the *.sh package?
[17:26] <xubuntu> maybe if you have e link to a simple tutorial using mail server just for local ?
[17:27] <bernz> xubuntu, hmm... is this the first attempt, or is this a "known good/working" user account?
[17:27] <sieken> tried to reboot with an older kernel, but no difference. can't connect.
[17:27] <sipior> xubuntu: surely thunderbird is asking for the password attached to the mail account you're fetching from? or are you looking at a local spool?
[17:28] <xubuntu> I think it is asking for the account password but the account has no passwd
[17:28] <vigge_sWe> does an admin need to activate my forum account before I can post?
[17:28] <iGmail> Is there any one could tell me How to Uninstall the *.sh package?
[17:28] <lstarnes> vigge_sWe: I don't think so
[17:28] <lstarnes> iGmail: which package was it?
[17:28] <khirr> sdb is only for usb-units and diskettes?
[17:28] <vigge_sWe> because I can't post or view imnages :'(
[17:28] <vigge_sWe> images*
[17:28] <danbhfive_jaunty> iGmail: .sh is a very generic extension for a script.  You will probably have to look for uninstall directions from where ever you got it
[17:28] <lstarnes> vigge_sWe: try logging out then logging back in
[17:29] <iGmail> lstarnes: autojump
[17:29] <vigge_sWe> still same
[17:29] <lstarnes> iGmail: the makers of that script likely have documentation for it
[17:29] <vigge_sWe> I never got an email either
[17:30] <lstarnes> iGmail: it might not be possible to uninstall it through the script
[17:30] <danbhfive_jaunty> iGmail: what is it?
[17:30] <bernz> okay, well, it's a shame that ma5...whatever left so quickly, but for the log, i'll answer: to get 1280x800 working on intel 945gm chipset systems (many laptops), you're looking for the '915resolution' hack package
[17:30] <iGmail> lstarnes: so How to uninstall that package?
[17:30] <arvind_khadri> iGmail, read the README in the source for uninstall instructions
[17:31] <iGmail> danbhfive_jaunty: autojump, the packages name.
[17:31] <lstarnes> iGmail: there might not be a way to uninstall it other than removing every single file it installed and reverting every change it made to other files
[17:31] <xubuntu> I think my problem is in the postfix config
[17:31] <vigge_sWe> can anyone download the wallpaper from here and upload it elsewhere so I can have it?
[17:31] <vigge_sWe> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6744753
[17:31] <xubuntu> all the tutorials are for domains
[17:31] <iGmail> arvind_khadri: i did it. but have no any one word like "uninstall"
[17:32] <Guest65513> can you tel me any commando's
[17:32] <arvind_khadri> iGmail, you would have to remove every file the installer installed...
[17:32] <bernz> vigge_sWe, if you want it, i presume you've seen it (in a browser), in which case, you already have it (in your browser cache)
[17:32] <arvind_khadri> Guest65513, to do what?
[17:32] <mohanohi> building openmovieeditor now it shows that i had to build libquicktime with lame enabled
[17:33] <vigge_sWe> bernz, no, that is the only one on the net
[17:33] <xubuntu> I leave bye
[17:33] <vigge_sWe> search google and you wont find the hp mie wallpaper
[17:33] <iGmail> arvind_khadri: so needs i type "dpkg -L autojump" for got all the files?
[17:33] <bernz> xubuntu, sorry, i don't know much about domains (yet), in terms of mail configs and stuff... i've never run an MTA
[17:33] <mohanohi> when go to libquicktim and do ./configure --with-lame it shows lame: Missing (Go to http://www.mp3dev.org)
[17:34] <danbhfive_jaunty> vigge_sWe: you want the black wallpaper with faint white swirls?
[17:34] <vigge_sWe> yeh
[17:34] <mohanohi> But actually libquicktime folder contains lame folder which has some build files..
[17:34] <arvind_khadri> iGmail, no... you will have to manually find it.... locate <name>
[17:34] <lstarnes> mohanohi: do you have liblame-dev installed?
[17:34] <bernz> vigge_sWe, oh, is it a file attachment you can't get at somehow, you mean?
[17:34] <vigge_sWe> yep
[17:34] <vigge_sWe> the forums isn't sending any mails, it seems
[17:34] <vigge_sWe> like the mail server is down or something
[17:35] <jpds> vigge_sWe: Try #ubuntuforums
[17:35] <sieken> is there any way to emulate windows drivers?
[17:35] <vigge_sWe> ty
[17:35] <mohanohi> i think no..
[17:35] <mohanohi> synaptic doesn't show that package..
[17:35] <danbhfive_jaunty> vigge_sWe: are you getting anything from me?
[17:35] <vigge_sWe> well, it said connection failed
[17:36] <kristian_> i found the kernel!
[17:36] <lstarnes> mohanohi: do you have the multiverse repositories enabled?
[17:36] <danbhfive_jaunty> ic
[17:36] <iGmail> arvind_khadri: My god, if the packages has so much files, it's big jobs for me..
[17:36] <bernz> vigge_sWe, it's a pretty nice wallpaper; i can send you a copy somehow probably, as long as it's okay with the originator (i assume so, correct me otherwise -- it's laissez-faire honor system in my world :-)
[17:36] <arvind_khadri> iGmail, i know... thats why we should avoid compiling :)
[17:36] <mohanohi> where to enable lstarnes?
[17:37] <george222> grrr - faad test failed when trying to configure ffmpeg :/
[17:37] <lstarnes> mohanohi: system > administration > software sources
[17:37] <bernz> vigge_sWe, PM me contact info (email addy or something) for receipt of file (size approx 715KB)
[17:38] <khirr> how can i create .deb packages?
[17:38] <mohanohi> i can't find multiverse repositories word in that dialogue box..
[17:38] <Huufarted> Anybody know how to chmod all of the DIRECTORIES and subdirectories to a+x?
[17:38] <glitsj16> mohanohi: lstarnes: isn't the package called libmp3lame-dev ?
[17:38] <arvind_khadri> khirr, read the maintainers guide at debian.org
[17:38] <arvind_khadri> khirr, and go to #ubuntu-motu
[17:38] <Huufarted> Correction to the above.  Anybody know how to chmod all of the DIRECTORIES and subdirectories of for example /ftproot to a+rw?
[17:39] <lstarnes> glitsj16: according to the output of aptitude search lame, it shows liblame-dev
[17:39] <lstarnes> Huufarted: including their files?
[17:39] <mohanohi> yes.. now i got the package..
[17:39] <danbhfive_jaunty> Huufarted: -R  ?
[17:39] <lamego> Huufarted, chmod -R ?
[17:39] <shadeslayer> hi does ubuntu support USB modems???
[17:39] <Huufarted> No, not the files, just the directories
[17:39] <shadeslayer> dial up ones specially
[17:39] <Huufarted> the directories need execute unless I"m mistaken, but the files I only want r
[17:39] <whut_> Hi there Ubuntu, can't mount my cdrom using "sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhide" - get an error message "mount: /dev/scd0: can't read superblock" - what options shall I try, what can be causing this? As far as I know, the disk was recorder on a Windows machine.
[17:39] <lamego> Huufarted, find /path -type d -exec chmod a+rw {} \;
[17:40] <danbhfive_jaunty> Huufarted: yeah, they need execute
[17:40] <Huufarted> lamego, I figured...  didn't want to use find because I"m lazy, but thanks.  :)  I appreciate it
[17:40] <Huufarted> thanks, danbhfive_jaunty
[17:40] <mohanohi> thanx lstarnes, and thanx glitsj16..
[17:41] <unop> Huufarted, heh, find is the lazy man's tool :)
[17:41] <mohanohi> I hope installation of software was as simple as double clicking..
[17:42] <insign> Ubuntu is for any user?
[17:42] <lasivian> I had a crash while I had an mtp device mounted and I could not unmount it, will that damage it? thanks
[17:42] <Huufarted> lol unop, I guess you could say that yeah.  :)
[17:42] <defrysk> ubuntu s even for me
[17:42] <bernz> insign, yes, even "bad" users... but they won't prosper :-D
[17:42] <reza1972> سلام
[17:43] <zimbres> I installed pgplot5 via apt-get but I am not able to find the libraries in /usr/local/lib where should them have been placed?
[17:43] <reza1972> اینجا کسی ایرانی نیست؟
[17:43] <kupesoft> Is there a way to mark a USB flash drive partition as hidden and it actually be hidden and not automount?
[17:43] <arvind_khadri> !ar | reza1972
[17:43] <lstarnes> zimbres: try /usr/lib.  /usr/local/lib is used for libraries which aren't managed byt he package manager
[17:44] <lstarnes> *by the
[17:44] <unop> Huufarted, well. if you are wanting to set execute on directories only   chmod -R +X /path/to/directory
[17:44] <bernz> kupesoft, you could probably write a udev rule to detect specifically that drive or partition and "do nothing"
[17:44] <kupesoft> bernz: I mean a generic way, ie on some unknown machine
[17:44] <zimbres> lstarnes, so where can I find them?
[17:44] <Huufarted> unop, yeah but that will give execute to all of the files as well as directories.  I used find and got files to have 644 and directories to 755
[17:45] <insign> bernz, because i want use ubuntu, its is very fast, But I'm afraid of having problems with usability
[17:45] <unop> Huufarted, no, +X does not affect files
[17:45] <bernz> kupesoft, in that case, my answer would be "probably, but i don't know exactly... maybe 'man fdisk', etc"
[17:45] <unop> Huufarted, +x does but not +X
[17:45] <Huufarted> Oh, gotcha
[17:45] <Huufarted> I did not know that.  That's hot
[17:45] <defrysk> !sa
[17:45] <kupesoft> bernz: I've already marked the partition in question with the hidden flag, it works on osx/win32 but not with whatever Ubuntu is using to automount,
[17:45] <bernz> insign, well, TBH, i'm not an amateur by any means, but i *still* haven't got my onboard USB host controllers working (primarily because of the combination of my laziness, and a working IO card with USB controllers on it ;-)
[17:45] <jtaby> hey, how do I check the md5sum of an ubuntu image i just downloaded?
[17:46] <unop> !md5 > jtaby
[17:46] <defrysk> md5sum blah
[17:46] <reza1972> Ubottu, I'm persian, not arabian
[17:46] <bernz> insign, so, imagine if i had no IO card -- i'd have no USB -- that's a pretty big usability problem, to me... otherwise, i'd say you need at least intermediate skills to have any "joy" from ubuntu at this point. people still intimidated by windows details should probably take it slow
[17:47] <defrysk> !ir
[17:47] <Huufarted> jtaby, just do this:  md5sum <filename>
[17:47] <reza1972> ok thanks
[17:47] <lasivian> something is still accessing a previous mount point for a device that was unplugged rather than dismounted, how can I fix this?
[17:48] <bernz> kupesoft, yeah, good old unix systems -- you can't fool them ;-) i think it might come down to "dirty tricks" like making a driver to recognize the special partition on the systems you *do* want, and then "damaging" the partition table to hide the "secret" one
[17:48] <kupesoft> bernz: It's not all that secret or important, I was just wondering if there was a quick way -- google wasn't helpfu
[17:49] <kupesoft> s/helpfu/helpful/
[17:49] <kupesoft> bernz: Thanks :)
[17:50] <fosco__> !sound
[17:52] <bernz> kupesoft, yeah, those kinds of techniques are usually documented on only one little web page, if at all, which is usually drowned in the sea of SEO and other detritus on the Web... google is useless these days :-]
[17:53] <Huufarted> Anybody know of a way to provide a media interface to apache to play media files over http with a built in interface to play, pause etc from the browser?
[17:53] <george222> how do i update my version of libx264??
[17:54] <lasivian> how can I kill all processes accessing a mount point?
[17:54] <bernz> kupesoft, you could almost argue that ubuntu is behaving "badly" if the hidden flag is respected by other major OSes (assuming it's intention really matches its name), so maybe someone should petition the ubuntu masters to change this for jaunty onward :-)
[17:54] <lasivian> or how do I force something to dismount that is hung?
[17:54] <devilsF001> Hi i'm having an issue with a network interface... well actually I believe the problem lies on the cox network but they are convinced that it is an issue with the "device" basically what is happening is they are not able to see a device connected to the modem on the IP... The box is running fine the network is loading with out error and I can ping the ip from my router is which is using the same gateway,netmask and is on the same net
[17:54] <lasivian> I cannot get this mpt filesystem to work right
[17:54] <pepker> #ubuntu-fr
[17:55] <kupesoft> bernz: Well, it's just a flash in the partition table for a disk, it's nothing more magical than that -- respecting it is up to the OS,
[17:55] <bernz> lasivian, if you know which process is at fault, you can find it's PID and just 'kill -kill x' where x is the PID
[17:55] <kupesoft> bernz: s/flash/flag/ -- I just bought a flash drive :P
[17:55] <bernz> lasivian, probably also you should put 'sudo' in front of that
[17:55] <lasivian> bernz: no, I don;t, there are no processes active that I think are accessing it
[17:55] <bullgard4> There are two packages installed: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so?
[17:55] <t2phage> try fuser -km mountpoint
[17:56] <bernz> kupesoft, heh, yeah, i mean it's more of a political or philosophical thing: if the hidden flag exists at all, should it not be respected by all OSes? if not, what is its use, and isn't a lack of its support a "missing feature" in an OS? and so on... but i don't want to actually get into that myself ;-)
[17:56] <lasivian> t2phage: that just crashed Gnome
[17:57] <x_> hi
[17:57] <x_> ich bräuchte ubuntu sticker,
[17:58] <bernz> lasivian, maybe i don't understand: you attached USB storage, mounted it, used it, yanked it -- uh oh, something is still trying to use it -- now what? ... is that correct?
[17:58] <t2phage> lasivian, try lsof | grep mountpoint | xargs kill -9
[17:58] <[UKSI]Sevi> hallo
[17:59] <lasivian> bernz: i'm trying to move files to an mpt device but it keeps hanging during copy
[17:59] <lasivian> and when it's hung it refuses to dismount
[17:59] <rimvis> ?
[18:00] <[UKSI]Sevi> hi
[18:00] <bernz> lasivian, so when it hangs, do you find the process that was doing the transfer, and kill it, and then it still isn't unmountable?
[18:00] <lasivian> I was using these instructions: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32817 to mount it, but it doesn't like the file copy
[18:01] <bernz> lasivian, this might be off-topic, but can you set the device to be MSC/MSD instead of MTP?
[18:01] <lasivian> bernz: oh snap, now I know what it was the terminal window was in the device
[18:01] <bernz> (not off-topic, but rather a tangent)
[18:01] <lasivian> bernz: I don;t think so, it's a creatifve Zen
[18:01] <bernz> oooooooooooooooooooh, classic
[18:01] <kupesoft> bernz: I'm not sure I could be bothered to put together the bug report, it doesn't *really* matter, and in some cases, I'm sure it's nice for users who don't know how to manually mount to have access hidden partitions.
[18:01] <Jack_Sparrow> hmw Good morning.  Here anyhow..   PM me when you get a sec.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/123453/
[18:01] <kupesoft> s/access/access to/
[18:02] <bernz> kupesoft, fair enough :-)
[18:02] <lasivian> Amarok and gnomad have crappy interfaces and just dump all the files in the root
[18:02] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[18:03] <bernz> lasivian, perhaps it's about time someone made a tool just for the purpose of giving the user a zen-slap when attempting to unmount a device with a shell "inside" it :-D
[18:03] <lasivian> bernz: too bad I lack the needed skills
[18:03]  * lasivian heads to lunch
[18:04] <tomlikestorock> after I do sudo apt-get install cgiirc, what else do I need to do to access it?
[18:04] <tomlikestorock> I've already set up apache
[18:04] <bernz> lasivian, well, as long as you have tons of time... you can always get more skills ;-) but time is only abundant to prisoners :-D
[18:05] <tomlikestorock> to run, but not necessarily to work with ircii
[18:06] <Hakume> How do I get the file browser to be capable of reading and writing DVDRWs?
[18:06] <mohanohi> hi guys
[18:06] <mohanohi> I caught up with another problem while building openmovieeditor
[18:06] <mohanohi> while building it now shows: Lame Codec in libquicktime not found, reinstall libquicktime with lame enabled
[18:06] <mhiku>  which is better than prozilla? or a multithread download client can be used in cli
[18:06] <mohanohi> even though i have installed lame with libquicktime..
[18:07] <frog_> hi, what does convert to searchable pdf?
[18:07] <frog_> or extract the text from png?
[18:07] <bernz> mohanohi, it sounds like you need to rebuild quicktime with lame enabled inside it (as opposed to just having lame installed somewhere on your system)
[18:07] <frog_> *hi, what does convert pn to searchable pdf?
[18:08] <Dr_willis_AAO> pn ?
[18:08] <mohanohi> yes i gave command while installing like ./configure --with-lame while installing libquickitme..
[18:08] <hwilde> hey everybody - i need to make a command line based interface with slider bars aka alsamixer - is that curses or what? anybody know how to do the color sliders?
[18:08] <frog_> Dr_willis_AAO: eh... png
[18:09] <Dr_willis_AAO> frog_,  converting a image file to a searchable pdf. would be a neat trick.
[18:09] <mohanohi> but previously i didn't give that option and it installed anyway..
[18:09] <bernz> mohanohi, you mean you built libquicktime after configuring using "--with-lame", or?
[18:09] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[18:09] <Dr_willis_AAO> frog_,  there are 'ocr' tools out to convert them to text.. that may work  :)
[18:09] <mohanohi> not like that..
[18:09] <tozetre> Okay, so I'm trying to automate an FTP download of files named by date (ie 2009-01-12.tar). I can script the ftp connection and gets all right, but how do I get a variable of the name/date passed into the ftp client?
[18:10] <frog_> Dr_willis_AAO: yea, ok, i thought someone could recomend me something
[18:10] <bernz> mohanohi, see, if you say "installed" i don't know if you mean "grabbed a standard build and installed" or "built custom and installed"
[18:10] <Dr_willis_AAO> frog_,  ocr stuff is basicallywhat you want..  img -> txt -> pdf -- I guess
[18:10] <teeless> frog_: as Dr_willis_AAO said, try with ocr tools like ocrad or gocr
[18:10] <bernz> mohanohi, based on your description of the errors, it sounds like something wants a special build of libquicktime
[18:10] <mohanohi> sorry.. ubuntu is new for me.. i meant built custom and installed without givign that option..
[18:10] <bernz> (and you have a "regular" build)
[18:10] <mohanohi> yes..
[18:11] <bernz> okay, i think i'm with you now
[18:11] <mohanohi> but now i have to reinstall
[18:11] <bernz> perhaps you should remove the existing one, then do the custom build with the special options as necessary, and then install that
[18:11] <unop> tozetre, date="$(date +%Y-%m-%d)";  do_something_with  "$date"
[18:11] <mohanohi> how to uninstall the previous installation of libquicktime?
[18:11] <sebsebseb>
[18:11] <frog_> Dr_willis_AAO, teeless: thank you
[18:11] <bernz> (i can't say what the exact problem is, only that it might help to do a "clean up and try again")
