[18:08] <Dr_Willis> Guest47056:  read up on conky. It does take some efffort to learn to use it properly ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conky_%28software%29
[18:08] <ManDay> So I just thought I'd remove the -22 kernel becaue there was a newer -23 one. Turns out that was a bad idea because -22 seemed to be the one in use. Now I've got kind of a huge problem...  Why do I have a -23 kernel if -22 is being used??!?!
[18:08] <Guest47056> i cud do that once i loacte it. but wer 2 look 4 it?
[18:08] <Tempus_Fugit> neither did I but you know when you use a wireless connection and you get that annoying keyring login say for ubuntu one or update manager well I was trying to disable that and did this instead
[18:08] <ManDay> and how do I fix this desaster?!
[18:08] <Tempus_Fugit> philinux: no its not
[18:08] <philinux> Tempus_Fugit: was your home encrypted
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  ahh. encrypted homes.. :) im NOT using that.
[18:09] <Tempus_Fugit> philinux: Not that I know of
[18:09] <rob_p> UukGoblin: Yeah, for playing around with, I can see that.  Anyhow, I hope you get it squared away.  Take care and good luck with it.
[18:09] <philinux> Dr_Willis: not me either
[18:09] <MaRk-I> ManDay: did you reboot the pc after installing the -23 kernel?
[18:09] <UukGoblin> thanks and see you later ;-)
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  still - i dont think the gnome keyring would be used for that.  what if you tried some other window manager. :)
[18:09] <Kasuko> I believe my upstart is not working on Ubuntu 10.04, my deluge sysvinit scripts aren't started and now even the upstart converted cron isn't running. When I execute the command `initctl list` it returns nothing (no error code or output) I expected it to tell me what upstart jobs were running. Any ideas?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: reboot and hold shift, boot to an older kernel
[18:10] <ManDay> MaRk-I, i did not install it in the first place - i just stumbled over the two kernels
[18:10] <UberN00b> hey, i just fixed my sound card problem ...with reinstall *evil laugher*
[18:10] <ManDay> ActionParsnip, i have no other kernels
[18:10] <ManDay> dammit- ill try to go into SU and download the 22 again
[18:10] <MaRk-I> ManDay: hmm odd
[18:10] <ManDay> MaRk-I, sorry my bad - of course i installed it
[18:10] <bihari> Hi mark
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: then boot to liveCD, chroot to the internal partition and reinstall linux-image-generic
[18:10] <ManDay> what i mean is that i did not just install it recently and now deleted the old
[18:11] <ManDay> i just keepdeleteing old headers and kernels
[18:11] <MaRk-I> hi bihari
[18:11] <bihari> mark i need some sort of suggestion from you can you check you Pm
[18:11] <Tempus_Fugit> I will brb let me try to login to gnome and see what the exact error is incase its not related to the login.keyring
[18:11] <philinux> Tempus_Fugit: at the login choose a different session
[18:12] <ManDay> i dunno ActionParsnip GRUB still says it wants to boot to -22 - maybe i can simply insttruct it to use 23  and then fix that mess
[18:12] <Tempus_Fugit> by the way philinux  I also did this to http://digitizor.com/2010/07/09/how-to-reset-all-gnome-settings-in-ubuntu-or-fedora/
[18:12] <ManDay> i dont know why it even works considering that 22 is unstinalled
[18:12] <Tempus_Fugit> hmm ok
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: hold shift at power on
[18:12] <Tempus_Fugit> Ill try that
[18:12] <bihari> mark can i pm you ?
[18:12] <ubuntu-> i got an external hdd via usb, but it says 'readonly filesystem' ... anyone know why it would be readonly?
[18:12] <philinux> Tempus_Fugit: that should not cause any problems
[18:13] <ManDay> ActionParsnip, thats where i am
[18:13] <ManDay> im currently correcting the grub entry
[18:13] <ubuntu-> cant change the permissions, it seems
[18:13] <MaRk-I> bihari: yes
[18:13] <ManDay> wish me luck...
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: have fun
[18:13] <Tempus_Fugit> philinux: ok brb let me get the exact error
[18:14] <ManDay> ActionParsnip, i dont get along with the new grub
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  #1 what filesystem is on it..
[18:14] <Kasuko> Anyone know how to confirm upstart is working correctly? `initctl list` isn't returning anything and things aren't being start on startup (eg cron). Ubuntu 10.04
[18:14] <ManDay> how do i boot after i edited an entry?
[18:14] <ManDay> in grub menu
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: ive never had to look at it as I only single boot my systems
[18:14] <ManDay> it says press ctrl-x but that doesnt do it
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  ctrl-x does it here. odd.
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> left control X
[18:15] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, first i press e to edit the entry and after im done i press ctrl-x?
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  yea thats all i ever recall doing
[18:15] <ManDay> doesnt work for me - does nothing
[18:15] <nuku> i cannot login with bootable flashdrive madeby remastersys "dist" iso . always shows authentication failure
[18:16] <ManDay> ah seems like 23 isnt even there or something works only if it says 22
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: its B to continue boot
[18:16] <ManDay> wtf is that
[18:16] <StaRetji> Folks, I need help with wget. I'm downloading with command "wget -N http://domain/somefile" this should download somefile only if it is newer than the one I have on my system? But it doesn't :/ Help is highly appreciated!
[18:16] <sebsebseb> !language | ManDay
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: i'd use livecd
[18:16] <fearful> does anyone know if vmware or virtualbox support the new version of iTunes to sync iTouch 3g with OS4 on it?
[18:17] <ManDay> ActionParsnip, almost there - got into aptitude. but i dont get it. i got a -23 generic plus the headers installed and -22 is gone but then it doesnt boot anything but 22 and that it does faulty
[18:17] <ManDay> only -23 in /boot too
[18:17] <ManDay> thats strange
[18:17] <Kasuko> Why wouldn't upstart a CRITICAL function work? `initctl list` returns nothing. Things aren't being started. Please help. Ubuntu 10.04
[18:18] <ManDay> can you guys check your uname please (assuming you have an uptodate from the reps)
[18:18] <ManDay> ?
[18:18] <ubuntu-> Dr_Willis, ubuntu autodetected it. it's an external harddrive on /media/usbdisk
[18:18] <shtower> fearful: I've been trying to sync mine with windows installed under VirtualBox, and I think it's possible using iTunes 9.02.
[18:18] <MegaHerz> Hi all. After upgrading to Lucid, my desktop goes sleeping after about 5 minutes. I can't find where this is configured.
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  NTFS is by default mounted read only, if you want to set it othewise install.run the ntfs-config tool. thats why i asked what 'filesystem' it was using.
[18:19] <fearful> shtower, it's not I'm unsuccessful it says needs new version of iTunes to sync.
[18:19] <Oer> MegaHerz, screensaver
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> !info ntfs-config
[18:19] <ManDay> can anyone uname please?
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> Linux cow 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:19] <MegaHerz> Oer: tree, thanks. I expect this would be in power conf
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> Yes - My pc's name is 'cow'
[18:19] <MegaHerz> true*
[18:20] <oru_work> in ubuntu /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini i have error_reporting = E_ALL , so now where can i look for php error logs ?
[18:20] <Oer> MegaHerz, true
[18:20] <ubuntu-> Dr_Willis, is there another way to do it? im on a livecd without internet
[18:20] <ubuntu-> (on another comp)
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  you can access the files as root if you wanted to.
[18:20] <ramy> I want to use a very tiny tool called "reformime" that is part of a relatively small package called "maildrop".. using apt-get install maildrop wants to install a very long list of dependencies including exim4 which will break my current mail server setup.. is there a way to install maildrop without all those useless (and not logical) dependencies ?
[18:20] <Oer> 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  open a command line. 'sudo -s'   the cd /media/wheever and do whatever you want with the files
[18:21] <ManDay> Can anyone help me then? I too got the 23 kernels but in grub it says 22 and then if I boot with that I get an X-rendered error message about nvidia failing and after that pitch black and no response
[18:21] <ubuntu-> Dr_Willis, sudo mkdir didnt work
[18:21] <ManDay> id would be good enough for now if I could connect to wlan from single user so i can getch the 22 again - any idea how this is done best?
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  this is a NTFS drive?
[18:21] <ManDay> wpa_supplicant something?
[18:21] <StaRetji> Folks, I need help with wget. I'm downloading with command "wget -N http://domain/somefile" this should download somefile only if it is newer than the one I have on my system? But it doesn't :/ Help is highly appreciated, thx ;)
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  if the drive was seen/detected to not been removed 'cleanly' by windows. it can also get mounted in read only mode as a 'safty' feature
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: could use rsync
[18:23] <ubuntu-> Dr_Willis, it says 'cannot create dir. .. readonly file system"
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> StaRetji: -N is for no timestamping
[18:23] <MegaHerz> Heh, what do you think about moving window control icons to the left? :) I'm still moving mouse to the up right )
[18:23] <jamesanelay> Hi, I just installed squirrelmail and got a "Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 111 : Connection refused" error is a "IMAP server" installed by default? if not how can I check if im running one? and then is im not what one should I install?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: i think nothing of it
[18:24] <mkanyicy> ubuntu-, what do you want to do?
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  you do see the windows files on the drive?
[18:24] <ubuntu-> Dr_Willis, can i mount it manually with sudo mount? what /dev/? wiould it be?
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  you can.. but as i mentiooned IF the drive has some sort of Error. it may be getting forced into a read-only mode
[18:25] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: you find this is convinient or no?
[18:25] <MegaHerz> comfortable?
[18:25] <bacilos> guys
[18:25] <ubuntu-> yes i got read access
[18:25] <ubuntu-> cant change it to write access or do a mkdir as sudo
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  you would mount with a ciommand like --> 'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/whatever  /media/MAKEADIRECTORY'
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: i dont use them much, i use shortcut keys mainly
[18:25] <mkanyicy> ubuntu-, type 'df -h' and check which device is it
[18:25] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: ah, ok )
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  try mounting it by hand. and see if it mentions some errors
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: ubuntu-: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: some say left is the wrong side but they are incorrect, both sides are equally valid
[18:27] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: or invalid. Interesting - is that Mac is using left.
[18:27] <ubuntu-> i mounted it manually
[18:28] <Akkernight> 64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" <- why does the ubuntu download page say that?
[18:28] <ubuntu-> still it says 'readonly device
[18:28] <ubuntu-> readonly fileesystem*
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: mac uses left, windows uses right, inux can use either, or even both
[18:28] <ubuntu-> no errors
[18:28] <Akkernight> I mean I've used the older Ubuntu for daily desktop usage for quite some time
[18:28] <ManDay> ActionParsnip, ok im downloading the live image now. can i use it to directly fetch the 22 from the reps and install it back?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Akkernight: 32bit is still more supported in some areas, 64bit is good if you have > 3gb RAM and/or intend to encode video / audio
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: sure, use a chroot
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  what was the mount command you used exactly?
[18:29] <ramy> I want to use a very tiny tool called "reformime" that is part of a relatively small package called "maildrop".. using apt-get install maildrop wants to install a very long list of dependencies including exim4 which will break my current mail server setup.. is there a way to install maildrop without all those useless (and not logical) dependencies ?
[18:29] <ubuntu-> sudo mount /dev/device  ./foo
[18:29] <Akkernight> ActionParsnip, doesn't everyone have >3gb RAM these days?
[18:29] <ManDay> does anyone have just a slight clue why i removed the -22 and there are no remains of it in /boot but uname still reports 22 and grub boots into it?!?!
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:   i mentioned using the 'ntfs-3g' command earlier...
[18:29] <mkanyicy> ubuntu-, what is the type of filesystem?
[18:29] <|jonathan|> hey
[18:29] <ubuntu-> oh ok, ill try that
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  you would mount with a command like --> 'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/whatever  /media/MAKEADIRECTORY'
[18:30] <shtower> ManDay
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  this IS a ntfs filesystem right?
[18:30] <ManDay> shtower, ?
[18:30] <Kasuko> My ubuntu 10.04 is having issues with it's runlevel. When I run `runlevel` I get unknown and lots of services arent started. Why?
[18:30] <pLr> ubuntu-: you can also mount using gnome
[18:30] <Oer> !webmin
[18:30] <shtower> ManDay: Sorry, I know how to get the option out of GRUB, but I don't know why uname is still reporting 22.
[18:31] <ubuntu-> i dont know, it's a toshiba external harddrive
[18:31] <^peanut^> Kasuko: What services are you talking about that aren't started?
[18:31] <mkanyicy> ubuntu-, its more likely then to be NTFS
[18:31] <k1ng> can anyone help me to setup dhcpd3-server please? i am a newbie
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  You have used it on windows machines befor?
[18:31] <ManDay> i dont even understand how this can possibly be. if there is no 22 kernel on the system why does uname report i was running a 22 kernel?
[18:31] <ManDay> thats impossible...
[18:31] <blorg> hat wer eine ahnung wie ich ein dyndns hostname bekomme?
[18:31] <ManDay> !de | blorg
[18:31] <ubuntu-> no but someone else has
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  sudo modprobe fairy-magic :)
[18:31] <blorg> oww fail, sry ^^
[18:32] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, modprobe dies with a fatal
[18:32] <nibbler_> Dr_Willis, install the server package, then check the /etc/dhcp* directory/config file, run the server, think about the message it gives you?
[18:32] <Kasuko> ^peanut^: cron is one I know, as well as my own deluge sysvinit scripts
[18:32] <ManDay> so does depmod
[18:32] <blorg> does someone know how to setup a dyndns hostname ?
[18:32] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, oh, was a joke...
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-:  i would plugit into a windows machine and  let windows scandisk it and check it.   If the ntfs-3g tools find the filesystem in a 'bad' state. it will mount it read only.
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  :)
[18:32] <pLr> blorg: yes you just go to dyndns.org and login its free
[18:32] <k1ng> can anyone help me to setup dhcpd3-server please? i am a newbie
[18:32] <ubuntu-> ok thanks
[18:33] <Kasuko> ^peanut^: when I go to root and run `telinit 2` then everything starts up
[18:33] <^peanut^> Kasuko: you'll need to install the sysvinit package. You can search for it using "sudo apt-cache search "package"
[18:33] <blorg> pLr, i mean using it as irc bouncer, so my ip doesnt get shown
[18:33] <Dr_Willis> Who was mentioning Conky earlier? If you like conky - check out --> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/conkywizard-gui-to-set-up-conky.html
[18:33] <^peanut^> Kasuko: You can also do that for cron. Most of those things can also be installed via the ubuntu package installer.
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> blorg:  if you want a hostname mask/cloak on this server. thats easially done.
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> !cloak
[18:34] <RealOpty> any one have audio working with HDMI nvidia?
[18:34] <blorg> yea ... but there isnt only freenode ^^
[18:34] <Oer> k1ng, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server
[18:34] <Kasuko> ^peanut^: I have that installed, plus cron is no longer a sysvinit script. Why does it depend on sysvinit
[18:34] <^peanut^> Kasuko: ok. I come from a redhat background so ubuntu is still a bit new to me.
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> RealOpty: ive seen people ask, looks like a real pain
[18:34] <pLr> Dr_Willis: i like that conky link :)
[18:35] <^peanut^> Kasuko: it shouldn't.
[18:35] <RealOpty> ActionParsnip, sounds fun.
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> RealOpty:  ive seen a lot of people with problems with it. :) buit never a 'fix' in here. perhaps the forums may menion one.
[18:35] <jono> folks, my weekly Ask The Ubuntu Community Manager Q+A videocast is in 25mins live at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon
[18:35] <^peanut^> Kasuko: have you tried running /etc/init.d/cron start?
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> pLr:  i ntoiced thast the 64bit version dosent work. (on my 64bit box) but the 32bit version does.
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> RealOpty: not worth it imho, just use standard audio out to speakers
[18:35] <EpicCyndaquil> I'm gonna set up a media box, what are my software options, and what kind of a remote should I start looking at?
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | EpicCyndaquil
[18:35] <pLr> blorg: but that name still resolves to an ip.. ive never setup a bouncer w/ dyndns
[18:36] <puff> EpicCyndaquil: You might find more help on the #mythtv channel.
[18:36] <^peanut^> !ot | EpicCyndaquil
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> EpicCyndaquil:  the MythTV forums and Mythbuntu channel/forums are good places to check for 'remote' suggestions
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> EpicCyndaquil: xbmc is good for media centres
[18:36] <rob_p> k1ng: If you want your server to offer *both* DHCP and DNS services, you should consider dnsmasq.
[18:36] <RealOpty> Dr_Willis, so far ive tried installing the PPA sound thingy and it shows up as a sound card HDMI now :\
[18:36] <blorg> but its shown as something.dyndns.org
[18:36] <EpicCyndaquil> ^peanut^: I was considering Ubuntu for it, so it is Ubuntu related.
[18:36] <Kasuko> ^peanut^: Yes, but that doesn't work because its really only a link to the upstart job
[18:36]  * ActionParsnip runs a local dns on each of his systems
[18:37] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: +1, me too
[18:37] <EpicCyndaquil> anyway, thanks for the help, good enough to start :)
[18:37] <Tempus_Fugit> philinux: you still here
[18:37]  * philinux hides
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: 0ms for resolution times is niiiiice :)
[18:38] <Tempus_Fugit> philinux: I get the error error communicating with authentication system-general failure
[18:38] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: sorry, was afk
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: couple that with chrome's pre-dns stuff and you got some slick web
[18:39] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: are you sure -N is for no timpestamp, I thought it was to turn it on
[18:39] <StaRetji> it's obvious then
[18:39] <rob_p> ActionParsnip: MegaHerz: I run a local nameserver for my network so I get the same benefit without having to run caching nameservers on each host.
[18:39] <philinux> Tempus_Fugit: I can honestly say I've never seen that before
[18:39] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: yes :) Except chrom(ium) us yet to be idle in the rest
[18:39] <MegaHerz> is*
[18:39] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: Thx man :)
[18:39] <Tempus_Fugit> philinux: now I gotta see if I can fix it somehow
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: how do you mean?
[18:40] <philinux> Tempus_Fugit: If I was in that situation I'd use the livecd and set up a chroot then create a new user
[18:40] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: on 9.04 I was using nightly builds. Crashes, glitches etc...
[18:41] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: 9.10 I meant
[18:41] <philinux> Tempus_Fugit: ignore the topic but here it tells you how to set up a chroot. It's real easy. http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: hmm, always been flawless here. I'm using the unstable deb from the site, runs fine. Used the daily up until yesterday and was equally good
[18:41] <ManDay> aaaaaaaaaaaaaah Dr_Willis ... guess what was the problem
[18:41] <ManDay> thats awful
[18:41] <ManDay> well it still is but guess
[18:41] <Tempus_Fugit> philinux: ok thanks for the advice I might just use a recovery shell port over all my important files to my windows partition and reinstall the whole system ...nice thing about having a dual boot system
[18:42] <ManDay> how could that be: no 22 kernel in boot but still i get uname 22
[18:42] <ManDay> pretty obvious if you think about it
[18:42] <philinux> Tempus_Fugit: you can use the livecd to do that
[18:42] <StaRetji> ActionParsnip: unfortunately, removing -N now downloads and renames files filename1, filename2
[18:43] <Tempus_Fugit> philinux: ok cool thanks I'm sure I will figure out something ...just out of curiosity does this sound like maybe a bug that I should report or my own damn fault ??
[18:43] <|jonathan|> how can i configure vodafone MD950 II usb modem in my ubuntu
[18:43] <TechMiX> hi all! is there any way that i use this usb wimax modem? :( : Huawei BM328, vendor-num: 198f, product-num: 0220
[18:43] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: in your dns setup - is cache resetted every boot or stored?
[18:44] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: or your uptime is so long that you don't care )
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: reset afaik, not really bothered though. it soon learns
[18:44] <MegaHerz> ActionParsnip: ok )
[18:44] <Tempus_Fugit> wish there was a way we could actually tt someone from the ubuntu dev team in here that would be a great help
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: on my fileserver its pretty long uptime
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> MegaHerz: laptop is reset too but its ok
[18:45] <Tempus_Fugit> hmm maybe I will do a quick search on ubuntu forums with my error message and see what that yields
[18:45] <Pici> Tempus_Fugit: If its not a bug then it will be marked as invalid.
[18:46] <Onle> New hack tools on www.team3d.3xforum.ro

[19:02] <trism> _chun: yeah that would be in, they moved the .Xauthority file in karmic, so you need to set XAUTHORITY correctly too, this is fixed in lucid (somehow, it is still in the new location, but finds it automatically now)

[19:09] <ActionParsnip> jezi22: you edit the config files which configure grub2 then run: sudo update-grub
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Loonatic: you can use x forwarding and run your file browser in the forwarded system, or you can mount the file system using sshfs and browse the data like a local folder
[19:10] <jezi22> the comment in grub is "#" right?

[19:11] <sudipta> is ubuntu 10.10 going to be very different than other ubuntus?
[19:11] <Loonatic> No X
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Loonatic: you may be able to mount sshfs from the console, ir you can share the folder using samba if the system can read windows shares
[19:11] <ZykoticK9> sudipta, in the desktop space it's very similar to 10.04 (so far)
[19:12] <MACscr> anyone know of an app that will allow me to divide one of my monitors into grids? Aka, so i can maximize windows into just its "grid"
[19:12] <Loonatic> ActionParsnip: there is already a samba share for that folder,

[19:22] <blackxored> can someone here tell me why I can do a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 to an sdcard without any single I/O error or usb reset, and when i create a fat32 filesystem (mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1) and after that one an ext one (mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2), when I mount the fat is ok, but when i do that with the ext: mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt i got "invalid superblock, can't find ext3 fs on ...")????
[19:22] <blackxored> any of you?
[19:22] <pk__> i installed it today itself ..just selected default layout on a blank disk
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> pk__: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[19:23] <pk__> ActionParsnip: as i told you this problem is because of power cut
[19:23] <mkanyicy> abys, why dont you use ssh?
[19:23] <pk__> i have this tpe of errors usually
[19:23] <Dr_Willis>  blackxored  One normally chages the partition type. befor reformating. I dont think you just 'reformat' a partition to other filesystems that way with out potential problems
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> blackxored: you can use dd_rescue to zero the partition
[19:24] <pk__> but normally i have a windows guest on ubuntu host  and i use chkdisk utility of windows
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  check the 'sudo fdisk -l' output on the device
[19:24] <pk__> but this time is ubuntu guest on windows host
[19:24] <pk__> so i need a disk utility for ubuntu
[19:24] <racethesunlive> blackxored: did you try sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt?
[19:24] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip, probably i asked here before, so don't treat me like a lol
[19:24] <blackxored> Here is the thing
[19:24] <wlfsbrg> hi all, as long as a user is a member of a group, can they modify items in folders designated for that group, even if the owner is a different user?
[19:25] <pk__> ActionParsnip: -e option with what
[19:25] <abys> mkanyicy: Pff i installed openssh before but im really scared of getting hackd ... i wanna learn but it holds me down
[19:25] <blackxored> when i mean formatted, i let you assume the fdisk and the change partition type and then the mkfs's
[19:25] <ezraw> Is anyone successfully using a screen sharing application as the host? If so, which one? I tried dimdim, but the linux client doesn't support starting a meeting.
[19:25] <blackxored> racethesunlive, the fat mounts fine, the ext afterwards it doesn't
[19:25] <Zoomrenalt> Kino not detecting  Sony DCR-HC62. Using USB. Ubuntu 9.10.
[19:26] <blackxored> i though that would be the card, but someone can tell if the sdcard is broken if i can zero out from 0 to 8.1 gb without i/o errors or resets? using dd BTW
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  so you are using fdisk and changeing the partition type, befor formating?
[19:26] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip, sorry about the former, i mean i know damn sure on how to format
[19:26] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, yes type b for fat 83 for linux, no big deal
[19:26] <Macha1> I had a screen session running, and my home internet connection died. screen -r <num> doesn't reattach it. How do I get it back? It says it is Attached to something
[19:26] <ZykoticK9> Zoomrenalt, see if running kino with as super-user helps "gksu kino" and see if it detects the camera
[19:26] <mkanyicy> abys, well then, ssh is the best there is. when it comes to security. and your samba is nothing compared to it
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  just double checking.
[19:26] <blackxored> then i did mfks.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1 <= that one mounts
[19:26] <jezi22> how to remove grub default?
[19:26] <blackxored> but the one at mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2 <= doesn't mount
[19:27] <DrPoO> I dont get any sound wokring with flash on 10.04
[19:27] <DrPoO> any suggestions?
[19:27] <abys> mkanyicy: ok thx :)
[19:27] <ZykoticK9> blackxored, "sudo fdisk -l" and see if it lists the second partition correctly
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> blackxored: if you want the whole device wiping then use the disk name instead of the partition
[19:28] <Macha1> Never mind, found it. screen -d -r <num>

[19:29] <Kingsy> but they don't seem to have linked to my localhost
[19:29] <jagwire> would there be any reason why ubuntu would fail to detect one gpu but not another one in the same system?
[19:29] <Kingsy> any reason why?
[19:29] <DrPoO> I cant get sound to work on my flash plugin on a 64 bit 10.04
[19:29] <jagwire> They're the same gpu make and model
[19:29] <DrPoO> any ideas?
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: not sure, check your config with curl etc
[19:30] <chuns> i need a good antivirus

I see a package for Compute kernel for virtual machines. Is there a way to install this without killing everything I've done?
[19:31] <mkanyicy> hi slan76
[19:31] <slan76> who sleeping in pajamas???
[19:31] <TenPhil> chuns: try ClamAV, just search for Clam in the software centre. Although you strictly don't need one, if you want one try it...
[19:31] <Kingsy> ok
[19:31] <slan76> hi
[19:31] <mkanyicy> slan76, definitely you
[19:31] <realubot> I'm reading about the Multiseat in Ubuntu. Is the replacement of gdm by XDMCP really sure? "XDMCP is not particularly secure protocol so it is a good idea to make gdm refuse connections from other computers. Add a line gdm: 127.* in /etc/hosts.allow  and a line gdm: ALL in /etc/hosts.deny. "
[19:32] <chuns> once i met with a clamav developer
[19:32] <blackxored> j_ayen_green, i wouldn't go into that for now, virtualbox is using emulated virtualization so a kernel won't make a difference there, virtualized kernels are for projects like the xen hypervisor

[19:34] <slan76> yes, ok
[19:34] <blackxored> j_ayen_green, virtualbox can use Intel and AMD virtualization technologies if your micro (Bios enabled) supports it, so it would run faster, on mines, without VT it works awesomely, just a little bit slower than vmware
[19:34] <slan76> !pl
[19:34] <blackxored> ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis: so?

[19:35] <DrPoO> ActionParsnip, I had been reading around and some pple recommend replacing pulseaudio

[19:36] <blackxored> ActionParsnip, blan, I did that the time i zeroed
[19:36] <j_ayen_green> but, for example, I opened a file in a Drupal install yesterday in netbeans, a fairly small one, and it was like 90 seconds or more before netbeans populated the list of functions in it :p
[19:37] <blackxored> but somehow after using the phone's formatter, this is now the partition table: http://pastebin.com/3hsSNT09
[19:37] <blackxored> partition 1 mounts fine, partition 2 can't find superblock
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> DrPoO: never done that myself
[19:37] <dr3mro> ubuntu is missing one big feature ... be hard for geeks to waste time with it like we do by reinstalling windows every 30 days :)
[19:38] <DrPoO> ActionParsnip, ok did the apt get lines
[19:38] <DrPoO> ActionParsnip, but still no sound
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> DrPoO: do you get video?
[19:38] <jezi22> guys.. how to remove entries in Grub2?
[19:38] <DrPoO> yup
[19:38] <blain> edit hte config
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> jezi22: uninstall the kernels you don't use
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> DrPoO: if you run: alsamixer    are any levels muted or low?
[19:39] <blackxored> ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis: somehow after 2 o 3 usb-24 reset hs usb device ehci_hcd mounted it, i don't know how, the phone can't mount it
[19:40] <jezi22> @ActionParsnip where can i see the name of the kernel?
[19:40] <ZykoticK9> jezi22, see number 7 of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> jezi22: the current kernel can be seen with: uname -a     you can list all installed kernels with: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2
[19:40] <blain> jezi22 using synaptic
[19:40] <DrPoO> ActionParsnip, everything is to the max
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> jezi22: DO NOT remove the current kerel
[19:40] <DrPoO> ActionParsnip, and still no sound
[19:40] <sinisa> test
[19:40] <blain> sinisa test failed
[19:41] <Kingsy> does anyone in here have 10 mins spare? I am installing a localhost and I am totally lost.. I need some help
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> DrPoO: is the volume low in the videos?
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  ive had other flakey usb devices in the past. I tend to give them to my brother. :)
[19:41] <blain> ahah
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: what does "installing a localhost" involve?
[19:41] <eitan> What value should I put in /etc/default/grub GRUB_DEFAULT  to select windows as the default OS?
[19:41] <DrPoO> ActionParsnip, triple checked, and no...
[19:42] <blain> eitan the kernel line
[19:42] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip - well I got apache working.. php working.. mysql working
[19:42] <blain> the option order
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> eitan: depends what entry it appears at in the list, count the entrys when you boot, the top one is 0, not 1
[19:42] <|jonathan|> how do u play dvd in ubuntu without having internet or downloading any kind of plugins
[19:42] <blain> |jonathan| use vlc
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: you need to install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> !dvd
[19:42] <Kingsy> I still need curl, phpmyadmin, pdo_mysql, gd and mcrypt
[19:42] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, is the only class6 on 11000km
[19:43] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip i dont hav internet in my ubuntu pc how can i play my dvd
[19:43] <oCean_> !afk > yessir_turan|afk
[19:43] <Kingsy> and I have no idea how to get those things installed so my apache installation sees them
[19:43] <|jonathan|> i cannot download any plugins that totem wants
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: you will need to download the package somewhere else then
[19:43] <ManDay> What FS should i use for a bootable USB stick?
[19:43] <blain> ext4 or fat
[19:43] <ManDay> fat what?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: ext2 if its for Linux
[19:43] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip i can download the package form this pc ... can i download all the package and install it in ubuntu and run it?
[19:44] <blackxored> ActionParsnip, do you know why is now mounting the ext2 fs when i formatted with the phone, and why is resetting 3 or 4 times before so
[19:44] <blackxored> ?
[19:44] <ManDay> ActionParsnip, ok
[19:44] <kjele> |jonathan|: Try Linux Mint it should have support out of the box
[19:44] <Kingsy> can someone help me with it?
[19:44] <jezi22> @ActionParsnip thanks dude.. :D
[19:44] <ManDay> any idea why an usb stick boots fine in one computer but hangs up on another?
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: you can pull debs down and stick them on a storage device to transfer.
[19:45] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip didnt get u.. im new in ubuntu
[19:45] <|jonathan|> :D
[19:45] <Pici> Kingsy: What exactly is the issue? Did you install those packages? Are you getting errors? etc..
[19:45] <blackxored> |jonathan|, you can install ubuntu-restricted-extras metapackage through software center or synaptic, then use ubuntu-tweak for adding the medibuntu archive, and install missings
[19:45] <oCean_> Kingsy: what is it that you require those specific packages? Whatever it is, they probably should provide a decent install/config manual
[19:46] <hareldvd> What value should I put in /etc/default/grub GRUB_DEFAULT to select Windows as default OS?
[19:46] <DrPoO> ActionParsnip, any other suggestions?
[19:46] <|jonathan|> blackxored do i need internet for this work ?
[19:46] <_jesse_> |jonathan|: if you have an internet connection on this pc, why not just plug in the ethernet to the other?
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: you can download debs off the web to then put on a storage device to transfer to the system with no internet connection
[19:46] <Dr_Willis> hareldvd:  depends on how far down the list windows is.. Or you can use the 'saved' feature of grub2 and select windows  by 'name'
[19:46] <blackxored> |jonathan|, sure you do, otherwise you'll have to copy the mirrors offline, or with apt-cacher-ng on an internet-enabled machine, hard setups, you need the net to install only btw
[19:47] <|jonathan|> _jesse_ what is ethernet
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: there is no single answer, you need to reboot and count the options down, then set it to that
[19:47] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip where cani download them
[19:47] <Dr_Willis> hareldvd:  see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: you could have 20 kernels installed and the number will be greater than if you had 1 or 2
[19:47] <_jesse_> |jonathan|: the wire that is likely plugged into the back of this pc that allows you to connect to the internet :P it looks like a phone cord wire, only bigger
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: there is no ONE answer, we can only tell you HOW you can get it yourself
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> hareldvd:  look at where it mentions --> GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: you'll nee dto head over to medibuntu too
[19:48] <Kingsy> Pici - atm I don't get any errors.. I installed apache, php5 and mysql.. then I loaded a app on my webserver.. it says that I still need to install curl, mcrypt, gd, pdo_mysql, and phpmyadmin..  so I did apt-get install phpmyadmin curl , then refreshed the app still says I need to install the same things (it did not see that I installed two of them) and localhost/phpmyadmin is a deadlink
[19:48] <|jonathan|> _jesse_ lol i dont have the cards and stuff i only hav a wireless usb modem and having toublw with u
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> !medibuntu | |jonathan|
[19:48] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip should i download mediabuntu?
[19:48] <Kingsy> Pici - so I guess I am asking how do I install these things (curl, phpmyadmin etc) and tell my apache installation where they are
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: i think the page tells you how to download debs seperately too
[19:48] <Pici> Kingsy: You need to restart apache after doing those things.
[19:49] <|jonathan|> okk
[19:49] <_jesse_> |jonathan|: ah I see, then yes, you can download them offline using the methods others have suggested, it's just a bit more annoying
[19:49] <|jonathan|> i dont understand anything :
[19:49] <|jonathan|> :
[19:50] <Kingsy> Pici - ok I have just restarted it.. some progress.. its no-longer asking for mcyrpt etc but its still asking for curl and localhost/phpmyadmin is still a deadlink
[19:50] <Kingsy> Pici - any ideas?
[19:50] <blackxored> can someone tell me, about this sdcard, if i get a 512 ext2 filesystem after a fat32 one, it mounts, when i set it up to 4096 it cant mount?
[19:50] <DrPoO> I cant get sound to work on my flash plugin on a 64 bit 10.04
[19:50] <Kingsy> Pici - I guess I need to tell apache I have phpmyadmin installed somewhere?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> DrPoO: do you use one of those creative audigy things?
[19:50] <Misterio> blackxored: Have you tried ext4?
[19:50] <DrPoO> nope
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> DrPoO: good, makes things a LOT easier
[19:51] <DrPoO> ActionParsnip, I have a thinkpad
[19:51] <blackxored> Misterio, i'll try now
[19:51] <blackxored> Misterio, but its a tricky sdcard
[19:51] <blackxored> let me first try with 2048 mb ext2 after the remaining fat
[19:51] <Misterio> Okay
[19:51] <metalf88011> when using Rhythmbox to transfer a large number of tracks to a portable media player is it possible to stop or cancel the transfer in the middle?
[19:52] <kjele> |jonathan|: If it is too technical for you install this Linux distribution as you did with Ubuntu http://linuxmint.com/
[19:52] <pLr> DrPoO: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=64+bit+flash+problem+ubuntu
[19:52] <Pici> Kingsy: You shouldn't need to tell apache anything.  phpmyadmin's default setup should put a symlink to its conf file into /etc/apache2/conf.d
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: you dont have a connection so you need to access the internet on another PC and download the files for the codecs and such you need. These are simple files which you can put onto a USB stick, SD / CF card, CD and then put then onto the system with no connection and install them
[19:52] <Pici> !google | pLr
[19:52] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, as for my problem:
[19:52] <Kingsy> Pici - hmm so what would you suggest?
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  what was the problem? i got the attentionspan of a newt today.
[19:52] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, I had /boot on a not automount partition
[19:52] <Pici> Kingsy: Have you restarted apache?
[19:52] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, remember?
[19:52] <ManDay> 22 vs 23 kernel
[19:53] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip tell me the place where can i download all the stuff like dvd player, mp3 player everything
[19:53] <Pici> Kingsy: sorry, just read that line.  One moment.
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  Not really. :) had the grandkids here for the last 2 weeks
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: the medibuntu page also gives instructions on how to download the deb files and you can do the same with those too
[19:53] <Kingsy> Pici - yup .. I did sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[19:53] <Pici> Kingsy: Do you have a phpmyadmin.conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ ?
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: http://packages.ubuntu.com   http://www.medibuntu.com
[19:53] <barfster> I am about to copy Ubuntu 10.04 Mini CD onto a memory stick, I have the ISO on my Mac, and would like to copy it to the memory stick, my instincts tell me to use dd, but guide tells me about: "Copying Files to USB Stick"
[19:53] <|jonathan|> okk
[19:53] <blackxored> Misterio, ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis: On 2GB partition ext2 i got stale nfs file hanle
[19:53] <blackxored> upgrading to ext3
[19:53] <ManDay> lol, ok: well just for your info i earlier had a problem with a 22 kernel having been uninstalled from my sys and only a 23 remaining but nonetheless i booted into a 22 kernel which then had a lot of trouble
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: i cant make it any simpler now
[19:54] <ManDay> not read back :)
[19:54] <Kingsy> Pici - 1 sec I will check
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  one normally dosent 'dd' an iso to a flash drive. - there are SOME iso files taht can be doen that way.. but not many
[19:54] <pLr> Pici: sorry :(
[19:54] <simar> What is sid in debian?
[19:54] <barfster> Dr_Willis: How can I prepare an ISO for that purpose?
[19:54] <kjele> simar: A version
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  im not sure if unetbootin, or other tools will work for putting that on a flash drive either.  -  Theres also the 'set up grub2' and get grub2 to boot the iso file - method
[19:54] <Kingsy> Pici - no there isnt one
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> simar: its a release name, debian support is in #debian
[19:54] <blackxored> simar, the unstable distribution
[19:54] <ManDay> !checksum
[19:54] <Kingsy> Pici - there are only 4 files in that folder
[19:54] <^peanut^> barfster: have you tried installing "Unetbootin" for writing iso's to a usb drive?
[19:54] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip lol i got it
[19:54] <|jonathan|> :P
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  last i looked the server iso also did not work with unetbootin, or the usb-disk creator tool when transfered toa flash drive.
[19:55] <Pici> Kingsy: Is there one in /etc/phpmyadmin/ ?
[19:55] <barfster> ^peanut^: but it’s gui?
[19:55] <Faethin> Is there a terminal command that allows me to check which applications are currently using any sound devices, be it input or output devices?
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  so unetbootin may or may not work. Checj out the Pendrivelinux web site and its scripts also.
[19:55] <barfster> Dr_Willis: Is there a way to use debootstrap to prepare an installer instead of an install?
[19:55] <simar> blackxored, Like lucid is to ubuntu right? What why the release unstable distribution?
[19:55] <smanning192> hey guys, how do I automatically mount NTFS partitions at ubuntu start?
[19:55] <Kingsy> Pici - no there isnt.. there is a apache.conf
[19:55] <^peanut^> barfster:  yeah, check out with Dr_Willis said too =). As for a gui.... do you not use X?
[19:56] <Kingsy> Pici - and a phpmyadmin.service
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> barfster:   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828634
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> simar: its the release name, like lucid, karmic, hardy etc
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> simar: debian is offtopic here
[19:56] <glphvgacs_> 'nomodeset add_efi_memmap', don't know what those are but they came in grub.cfg.example (grub2) file. now booting on an iMac  i get "erro: no suitable mode found. Booting however" and then it hangs there
[19:56] <Pici> Kingsy: Er, right.  Can you run:  sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[19:56] <barfster> I use Mac for GUI, or Linux server side only through ssh, no X, except for one machine that runs some old wine emulation.
[19:56] <Kingsy> ok
[19:56] <Pici> Kingsy: Then retart apache again
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  as for macs.. No idea. perhaps pendrivelinux web site has some info on mac tools
[19:57] <Kingsy> Pici - done
[19:57] <blackxored> simar, check #debian, but still because sid is the development distribution, everything gets there after very little time, more tested packages go to debian testing, and eventually stable versions at the release, at a glance
[19:57] <barfster> is pendrivelinux apt based?
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  its a web site...
[19:57] <Kingsy> Pici - ok that worked!!
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> pendrivelinux.com  (or was it.org)
[19:57] <glphvgacs_> i had success (with a distorted video) with no 'nomodeset' in grub.cfg
[19:57] <Kingsy> Pici - what happened?
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  they got all sorts of scripts and tools for making linux pendrives
[19:57] <^peanut^> pendrivelinux.com is correct
[19:57] <glphvgacs_> any idea?
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> barfster: could ask in a mac channel
[19:57] <jef91> Howdy All - So I have a GPT partitioned hard drive and I installed Ubuntu followed by OSX. Chameleon ate grub2, how can I restore grub2 to be the default boot loader? (The method you use for MBR does not work :-/)
[19:58] <Pici> Kingsy: We told apache about phpmyadmin.  I thought this happened automagically though.
[19:58] <blackxored> jef91, the grub scripts won't do it for you?
[19:58] <barfster> ActionParsnip: how to make a memory stick bootable Ubuntu 10.04 Mini CD?
[19:58] <Kingsy> Pici - so the last thing.. curl .. apt-get install curl says I have it installed.. but my webserver is saying that it isnt.. any ideas?
[19:58] <barfster> ActionParsnip: how to make a memory stick bootable Ubuntu 10.04 from Mini CD?
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> barfster: the tool you use will do that
[19:58] <hareldvd> Dr_Willis,  ActionParsnip, Terrible delay, Seems that after that many kernel upgrades (3) the list of OSs stabilizes to 3x2 kernels. Can I count on that?
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> barfster: i read it the first time
[19:58] <blackxored> Kingsy, your webserver is asking for the *libraries* not the executable
[19:58] <tahnok> I'm trying to remove ubuntu from a dual boot laptop, is deleting grub going to be a problem?
[19:59] <jef91> blackxored - I did a grub-install /dev/sda with a chroot from a livecd and it gives me an error about it being a gpt drive
[19:59] <barfster> ActionParsnip: But what does these tools do? unetbootin and stuff? Isn’t there a simple BASh script that can do the same thing?
[19:59] <ChogyDan> tahnok: you need to install the windows bootloader
[19:59] <blackxored> jef91, cleaning the mbr with dd?
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: yes you count those, count them all
[19:59] <tahnok> ChogyDan: do I need a windows install disk for that?
[19:59] <davidonzo> hi there :)
[19:59] <Sbioko> hi all!
[19:59] <Demolidor> hi
[19:59] <patty_>  how do I find a chat room  in age groups
[20:00] <blackxored> barfster, they do quite a lot, accessing squashfs fs, creating isolinux or syslinux boots, copying files, adjusting device mappings, etc
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> barfster: its a tool to put the right files in the right place and put the boot info in the right place
[20:00] <^peanut^> !ot | patty_
[20:00] <Kingsy> blackxored - ok so how do we show apache that I have the libs?
[20:00] <abhi_nav> tahnok, ask in ##windows
[20:00] <hareldvd> ActionParsnip, Can I control the amount of Kernels saved for backup?
[20:01] <ChogyDan> tahnok: I dunno, you might be able to do it from windows.  I would figure out how to reinstall the windows boot first, then you can delete the partition
[20:01] <blackxored> Kingsy, first try the OpenSSL version with sudo aptitude install libcurl4-openssl
[20:01] <barfster> ActionParsnip: I still sit here with the funny feeling that a bootable memory stick and a bootable CD does not have to be THAT different...
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: you can remove unused kernels to reduce entrys
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> barfster: usb boots differently
[20:01] <tahnok> ChogyDan: ya, that's what I'm thinking
[20:01] <patty_>  well thank you for  your help
[20:01] <blackxored> barfster, yes they are
[20:01] <jef91> nevermind blackxored I need to run grub-install with --force
[20:01] <blackxored> jef91, cool, knowledge adquired ;)
[20:02] <Kingsy> blackxored - just tried that.. doesnt work
[20:02] <jef91> Apparently gpt is still "experimental" and "not recommend"
[20:02] <^peanut^> barfster: check out. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bootdisk.com%2Fpendrive.htm&ei=oQk-TJfrEI_CsAOkg8HaCg&usg=AFQjCNGLPHVGycws-TG5HF4S1bfp4KdeqA&sig2=pbQ4aQvnL9K8-ppPYCX3PQ
[20:02] <jef91> even though it works fine haha
[20:02] <Kingsy> blackxored - I mean, it installed fine but after apache re-start it still doesnt see it
[20:02] <barfster> ^peanut^: I am on here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/search/10.04
[20:02] <^peanut^> oops. wow , wrong url. sorry bout that. it was http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm
[20:03] <blackxored> Kingsy, which webapp are you running, btw?
[20:03] <^peanut^> barfster: yea, not sure that's gonna help. most of the stuff on there requires a gui either from linux or windows
[20:03] <hareldvd> ActionParsnip, can the update_manager get configured to hold just 2?
[20:03] <Kingsy> blackxored - magento
[20:03] <tahnok> thanks ChogyDan
[20:03] <blackxored> Kingsy, magento fine, it requires curl 3 or curl 4 or doesn't say
[20:03]  * barfster GUI drives me crazy, is it proprieteriazing in disuquise?
[20:03] <Kingsy> blackxored - doesnt specify
[20:04] <blackxored> then try libcurl3-gnutls and libcurl3-gnutls-dev
[20:04] <ManDay_> Can I delete the /boot/grub folder if afterwards i reconfigure grub?
[20:04] <Kingsy> blackxored - by try you mean apt-get them?
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> ManDay_:  grub bootloader uses those files, unless ive missunderstood your problem
[20:04] <blackxored> Kingsy, yes
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> ManDay_:  it has to get to them some how
[20:05] <^peanut^> barfster: take a look at this. http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html there is a commandline option no gui
[20:05] <amerphoenix> guys i need help pleas
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  if you want command line only.. set up grub2 on the pendrive and set it up to boot the iso file.
[20:06] <ManDay_> Dr_Willis, I've caused quite a mess in my /boot with multiple kernels tangled up in eachother and im trying to clean it up a little by removing and and then cleanly featching the 23 kernel
[20:06] <^peanut^> Dr_Willis: nice one man. didn't think of that
[20:06] <amerphoenix> how can i  paste you a message
[20:06] <ManDay_> Dr_Willis, if I reinstall grub that should do it?
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> ManDay_:  ewww. :)  I guess you can try.
[20:06] <clarinet46> kto chce rozmawiać po polsku
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: you can tell grub to only hold 2 but update manager will not, you must manually remove
[20:06] <^peanut^> !po | clarinet46
[20:06] <ManDay_> thanks Dr_Willis
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> ManDay_:  you could  try to set up /boot/ on the / not on its own parittion. but that may break things worse
[20:06] <barfster> Perhaps I have to read the source of unetbootin
[20:07] <amerphoenix> any one :)
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  all unetbootin does. is extract/copy the files to the pendrive. then configures syslinux
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> barfster:  ive done it by hand in the past..  I find grub2 easier to get going. but syslinux works. :)
[20:07] <sanjoy> i wanna install metronome
[20:07] <sanjoy> how will i do it?
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> !info metronome
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> sanjoy:  and what/where is metronome  comming from?
[20:08] <sanjoy> metronome is guitar tool
[20:08] <alexander_> Need help getting my iPod up and running. 2.2.1 FW on a Touch. Not recognized by banshee/gtkpod/amarok/rythmbox. Rythmbox displays import errors related to temp.tmp. virtual box windows wont load itunes so I'm a bit desperate here thanks.
[20:09] <oCean_> !info gtick | sanjoy
[20:09] <sanjoy> it creates rhythm
[20:09] <Kingsy> blackxored - sorry about that my router crashed.. just installing now
[20:09] <sanjoy> ya
[20:09] <Kingsy> blackxored -  then I will restart apache and let you know if it worked
[20:09] <sanjoy> bt how will i install it??
[20:09] <slinker1> gtkguitune maybe
[20:09] <oCean_> sanjoy: meaning you could use that package: sudo apt-get install gtick
[20:09] <blackxored> Kingsy, ok
[20:09] <amit08> I  am having some problems with ping ... i am trying ping www.google.com and getting following error message "ping: unknown host www.google.com"
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> sanjoy: sudo apt-get install gtick
[20:09] <Kingsy> blackxored -  it still doesnt work i am afriad
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> amit08: then revise your dns
[20:10] <sanjoy> okey
[20:10] <blackxored> Kingsy, wait a second
[20:10] <sanjoy> thnx bro
[20:10] <Kingsy> blackxored -  np
[20:10] <ManDay_> Dr_Willis, I once thought it was a clever idea to set /boot no noauto in fstab - turns out how horribly wrong i was
[20:10] <romildo> Hi.
[20:10] <Dr_Willis> sanjoy:  You are asking how to install A metronome program then? ok..
[20:10] <Dr_Willis> ManDay_:  on ubuntu.. yes. :) Gentoo does that by default i recall
[20:10] <amit08> @ActionParsnip: how to do that
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> amit08: try running:  gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf     delete all text and add this line:   nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:11] <andpsy> hello, i'm installing ubuntu 10.04 on a system with raid 0. I have windows 7 installed. Should i install boot loader on /dev/mapper/isw_bcafcbfddh_Volume0 ?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> amit08: then save the file, close gedit then close all browsers and rerun
[20:11] <ManDay_> Dr_Willis, thats why i did it - remembered to have read it would be clever , lol
[20:11] <ManDay_> first think then act
[20:11] <amit08> @ActionParsnip: ok will try that
[20:11] <romildo> [newbie] Please, I need the patch that was applied to the sources of the package pretzel. How can I obtain it?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> !raid | andpsy
[20:11] <blackxored> Kingsy, dude i didn't followed from the beggining and i though it was curl libraries what you need, the homepage says the php extension so go ahead on php5-curl and blame if that doesn't solves it
[20:12] <Dr_Willis> ManDay_:  i  got about a 3gb /boot/ :) i keep spare iso files on it i can boot with grub2 :)
[20:12] <barfster> Which debootstrap sources are there? Is there such a thing as lucid-miniCD?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> !minimal | barfster
[20:12] <Kingsy> blackxored -  ahh ok 1 sec
[20:12] <ManDay_> Dr_Willis, i have a little cleaning up quirk ;)
[20:12] <mgolisch> romildo: you can fetch the source package with apt-get source packagename, it contains the original source and all patches
[20:12] <amit08> @ActionParsnip: what does this mean ... <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:12] <andpsy> ubottu: It's not a software raid
[20:13] <ChogyDan> romildo: you might be able to grab the source and find the patches there
[20:13] <mgolisch> romildo: it will put the stuff in your current directory
[20:13] <Kingsy> blackxored -  ahh that worked.. thanks sir.. I should have been more specific..
[20:13] <ManDay_> isnt there nromally a package called linux-image....2.6.32-23 ?? not only one that ends in "-generic" ?
[20:13] <amit08> @ActionParsnip: I mean ...  nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:13] <raindog> What, if any, are the drawbacks to having both Gnome and KDE desktop enviroments installed?
[20:13] <blackxored> Kingsy, no problem at all, and sir? and probably one of the youngest here ;)
[20:13] <Kingsy> blackxored - thanks.. it looks like it was pretty easy in the end and it seems to do alot of it for you :)
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> amit08: its google's public DNS, it may help
[20:14] <romildo> mgolisch, I have done that. But I am not seeing the patches there.
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> amit08: it needs to go in the resolv.conf file   instead of aything you have in there
[20:14] <Kingsy> blackxored - lol .. well cheers
[20:14] <amit08> ok
[20:14] <mgolisch> romildo: there should be a directory called debian or such, it contains the control files and all patches
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> amit08: is it better now?
[20:15] <mike233yo718> hello. i'm using ubuntu 10.04, and for some reason, when i log into my user, the gnome-panel crushes (the top one, i mean, it loads, but does not load all widgets). It uses 1005 of my cpu, and no matter i try to close processes (using guake - htop), they load back (especially the gnome-panel and the widgets). what can i do to fix it?
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> !panelfix
[20:16] <romildo> mgolisch, the contents of the debian subdir are: changelog  control  copyright  dirs  docs  postinst  postrm  rules
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> mike233yo718: use: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel    then setup from defaults
[20:16] <romildo> mgolisch, I am not seeing any patch.
[20:17] <amit08> @ActionParsnip: I tried that ... still same result
[20:17] <amit08> i am behind a router
[20:17] <mgolisch> romildo: hm maybe it doenst have any?
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> amit08: can you ping other sites?
[20:17] <sinisa_> republika srpska
[20:17] <amit08> nope
[20:17] <romildo> mgolisch, and there would be a patch, as this application is old and does not compile with current compilers without patching.
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> amit08: can you ping your router?
[20:17] <amit08> @ActionParsnip: yes
[20:17] <mike233yo718> ActionParsnip, what do you mean by "setup from defaults" ?
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> amit08: ok then the connection beyond is bad, try rebooting the router
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> mike233yo718: the command I gave will set the panel to vanilla settings, you can then build up from there. You may have a bad setting causing an issue
[20:19] <paulus68> is there an easy to detect if there are 2 computers with the same mac adres on your network
[20:19] <romildo> mgolisch, should I download the pristine tar ball and produce the patch myself, or does ubuntu can do that for me?
[20:19] <ravi> hi, I can paste text into a java applet based chat service, I can type text
[20:19] <ravi> how to paste text into a java applet?
[20:19] <lxsys> Can anybody tell me why ubuntu isn't listening to my xorg.conf?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> lxsys: read /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:20] <ManDay> I want to replace a kernel-driver with my own. The drivers name is "adriver" and locate "adriver" returns two results within the driver subtree - which one of the twos should I replace with my version?
[20:21] <mike233yo718> ActionParsnip, thanks a lot
[20:21] <amit08> @ActionParsnip: I am not sure if thats the problem .. since my IRC is connected using same machine
[20:21] <lxsys> ActionParsnip: Can you explain "Fatal Error: no screens found." to me, I've clearly defined my screens.
[20:22] <barfster> ActionParsnip: I found this: http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ looks good.
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> lxsys: then the definition is whack and udev is doing its thing
[20:23] <lxsys> ActionParsnip: it's clearly not because I've got two screens hooked up to my matrox g400 and only one is recognised.
[20:23] <MaikoID> #ubuntu
[20:23] <ManDay> I want to replace a kernel-driver with my own. The drivers name is "adriver" and locate "adriver" returns two results within the driver subtree - which one of the twos should I replace with my version?thats right
[20:23] <ManDay> sorry
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> lxsys: well your PC doesnt think your xorg.conf is good and thats what counts, find more examples tweak
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: back the original ones up and you can try either or both
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> ManDay: if you md5sum the files you may find they are identical ;)
[20:25] <duiu> I have a softraid 1 that I need to migrate to a new system. Is there a way I can do this without copying data to USB drive, remaking RAID, and copying data back to the new RAID?
[20:25] <ManDay> ActionParsnip, well but which one is actually used? i assume ubuntu doesnt take the frist half of the one and the latter half of...
[20:25] <lxsys> ActionParsnip: um... i've never made an xorg.conf before, and to be quite honest, I have no idea how. do you know of any good guides?
[20:26] <g0tcha> hey guys, im trying to install Pan newsreader but it says it depends on libgmime2.2 and i have libgmime-2.0-2a .. how can i install 2.2?
[20:26] <MichaelKohler> how can I move the close button section to the right in 10.04?
[20:26] <amit08> @ActionParsnip: I am not sure if thats the problem .. since my IRC is connected using same machine
[20:26] <lxsys> !buttons
[20:26] <maiko> how can i join in #ubuntu chanel using xchat ?
[20:26] <MichaelKohler> thx lxsys
[20:26] <MichaelKohler> ah no, that wasn't for me ^^
[20:26] <lxsys> MichaelKohler: um that's not it, sorry
[20:26] <duiu> g0tcha: sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> lxsys: i gave you some pages easlier, you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    to get write access
[20:27] <guntbert> maiko: you *are* talking in #ubuntu
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> maiko: /join #ubuntu
[20:27] <maiko> thnx
[20:27] <maiko> I never use irc chat
[20:27] <g0tcha> duiu, thats going to upgrade all my destro, right?
[20:28] <duiu> g0tcha: no, dist upgrade is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:28] <ezraw> i'm using kvm with windows xp and trying to get a network connection. kvm created a virtual network and the virtual machine is set to use it and be natted. But it doesn't work. Anyone have troubleshooting tips?
[20:28] <lxsys> !controls | MichaelKohler
[20:28] <Monty> lxsys: i've had successfully running a g450 dualhead with two monitors...if it helps, i could give you my working xorg.conf
[20:28] <duiu> g0tcha: you could just use synaptic package manager GUI
[20:28] <MichaelKohler> thx lxsys
[20:28] <maiko> I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 but I cant use empathy to join in irc.freenode.net or any other server.
[20:28] <lxsys> Monty: yes please!
[20:28] <Monty> k..mom
[20:30] <maiko> anyone can help with nautilus trash in ntfs and fat partitions ? on Ubuntu 10.04
[20:30] <duiu> !ask | maiko
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> maiko:  when i empty the trash it normally cleanes those out also. Whats your specific issue?
[20:31] <maiko> sryy about it, i'm new in irc chat
[20:31] <maiko> i cant move my files to trash
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> !trash
[20:32] <Monty> lxsys: http://srv12a.weiss-intermedia.de/xorg.conf
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> maiko: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER
[20:32] <lxsys> Monty: Thanks :)
[20:32] <Dr_Willis> depending on how the Non-linux filesystmes are mounted. ive noticed where you basically 'delete now' :) there is no move to trash option.  Not sure why its that case siometiomes for me and not at other times
[20:32] <maiko> this is what appears "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?"
[20:33] <Dr_Willis> for removeabel media - i normally dont want stuff to go to the trash.
[20:34] <cryzed> Does SLI work with the NVIDIA drivers for Linux work flawlessy?
[20:34] <Dr_Willis> nothing in computers are flawless :)
[20:34] <cryzed> uhm
[20:34] <cryzed> Does SLI work the with the Nvidia drivers for Linux
[20:34] <cryzed> That's what I meant
[20:34] <cryzed> Dr_Willis, but it does?
[20:34] <Dr_Willis> cryzed:  ive heard they work. but never tried them
[20:34] <Dr_Willis> too poor.
[20:34] <cryzed> Dr_Willis, Planning to buy 2 GTX 460
[20:35] <Dr_Willis> I dont see the point in going that overboard.
[20:35] <Dr_Willis> :)
[20:35] <cryzed> Dr_Willis, to each his own
[20:35] <skhater> hi
[20:35] <skhater> by
[20:35] <cryzed> oops
[20:35] <cryzed> Sorry
[20:36] <Dr_Willis> one could also argue if you are playing games that need that much GPU power.. well.. they are proberly not native linux games in teh first place. so why are you not running them in windows.
[20:36] <Dr_Willis> Im not sure how well wine handles SLI stuff. (if at all)
[20:37] <DrPoo> ActionParsnip, Now I have a fresh 10.04 64-bit install... How do you recommend that I install the flash-plugin?
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> DrPoo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:37] <himuraken> Hi all, working with an HP 6735b with Desktop 10.04 on it
[20:37] <himuraken> Cant get buntu to see the wifi.
[20:38] <DrPoo> ActionParsnip,  Is that any different than letting firefox do it?
[20:38] <himuraken> The card is listed as supported on linlap.com but I beleive that the issue is the wireless switch
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> DrPoo: not as far as I know
[20:38] <himuraken> It is one of the on/off switches that is above the KB. blue=on and orange=off. Cant get blue :-(
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> DrPoo: the ubuntu-estricted-extras should install it too as well as other goodies
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> himuraken: run: sudo lshw -C network      websearch for the product line of the wifi
[20:39] <DrPoo> ActionParsnip,  because last time I used firefox... and that did not work
[20:39] <BIGSEXY> how do i register my name?
[20:39] <DrPoo> ActionParsnip,  video playback no problem but no sound
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> !register | BIGSEXY
[20:39] <iceroot> !register | BIGSEXY
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> BIGSEXY: please dont tell me you like Kevin Nash
[20:39] <pk__> how to set proxy in terminal
[20:39] <himuraken> ActionParsnip: that only shows the onboard nic
[20:40] <guntbert> pk__: the proxy for what?
[20:40] <DrPoo> pk__ ssh -D <port#> user@remotehost
[20:40] <mkanyicy> pk__, export HTTP_PROXY=xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy
[20:40] <pk__> mkanyicy: earlier i used to write it in .bashrc
[20:40] <pk__> can i follow the same procedure now also
[20:40] <mkanyicy> pk__, and then?
[20:40] <vaul1> Hello, people. My front panel headphone and microphone jacks do not seem to work. Sound via speakers is okay. Any ideas?
[20:41] <DrPoo> vaul1, are you sure that the front panel is connected to the mobo?
[20:41] <himuraken> ActionParsnip: any other suggestions?
[20:41] <mkanyicy> pk__, why dont you do this via gnome-network-properties?
[20:41] <vaul1> DrPoo: What is mobo?
[20:41] <mkanyicy> vaul1, motherboard
[20:41] <Monty> motherboard
[20:41] <vaul1> DrPoo: Anyway, that worked on Windows.
[20:41] <vaul1> DrPoo: So, yes.
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> himuraken: then its not turned on, lshw shows ALL network, the -C network   bit shows only network devices
[20:42] <maiko> I've tried it "cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER" but the problem persists
[20:42] <mkanyicy> vaul1, bomo = bored mother
[20:42] <himuraken> ActionParsnip: understood. The odd thing is that I pulled the wifi card out of another system and replaced it. Same issue.
[20:42] <pk__> mkanyicy: the Ui method is not storing the authentication info
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> himuraken: is it usb?
[20:42] <himuraken> ActionParsnip: and the card I swapped in is supported, I am online with it on another system. Seems like the stupid HP "soft switch" is blocking the card
[20:42] <himuraken> Negative it is miniPCIe
[20:42] <Yashy> I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/2Nkex3EW
[20:43] <pk__> when i echo $http_proxy  it shows the proxy address but the authentication info is not there
[20:43] <vaul1> mkanyicy: Is there a funny abbreviation for bored Ubuntu user, who want to use Skype? Maybe bouus?
[20:43] <maiko> this message "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?" continue appears when i try to move to trash one  file or folder
[20:43] <mkanyicy> pk__, use gconf-editor
[20:43] <pk__> so every sodtware gives Authentication required
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> himuraken: check in bios for default wifi state (if its there and make sure its on)
[20:43] <mkanyicy> vaul1, bogus = bored gnome user
[20:43] <himuraken> ActionParsnip: totally lame idea, but I am considering installing windows on a secondary drive, enabling wifi, and then putting buntu drive back in....
[20:44] <MetalGeek_N00b> Could someone please suggest a bare bones linux tutorial or online corse i could try
[20:44] <himuraken> ActionParsnip: good call on BIOS, tried that first XD
[20:44] <ssssss> Is it possible to find out by looking at the boot partition whether Ubuntu was installed or xubuntu?
[20:44] <MetalGeek_N00b> Mainly dealing with the kernel
[20:44] <pk__> mkanyicy: in gconf-editor too the authentication info is shown and well written
[20:44] <pk__> but when i echo $http_proxy in terminal it is just hte address
[20:44] <mnemon> MetalGeek_N00b: do you know C?
[20:44] <mkanyicy> pk__, what does hte mean?
[20:44] <vaul1> DrPoo: So, I checked official sound troubleshooting guide and it seems that I do have two devices that are recognized as soundcarts.
[20:45] <pk__> sorry "the"
[20:45] <rocket16> Has anybody here got Charlix working? http://charlix.sourceforge.net/
[20:45] <robertzaccour> how do i change my password?
[20:45] <MetalGeek_N00b> mnemon, no, i just started a C++ course online and at home though
[20:45] <cr0bar> hello - I installed 9.10 via wubi some time ago on my sister's laptop, and now XP isn't showing in the menu at all..
[20:46] <mkanyicy> robertzaccour, sudo -s
[20:46] <BlaDe^> Can anyone give me some advice on the 'dd' command?
[20:46] <robertzaccour> mkanyicy: i meant irc
[20:46] <pk__> when i do echo $http_proxy it shows http://<IP_ADDRESS>:80/   in place of http://324234:334234@<IP_ADDRESS>:80/
[20:46] <vaul1> BlaDe^: Use «man dd»?
[20:46] <mkanyicy> !password
[20:46] <^peanut^> BlaDe^: man dd
[20:46] <BlaDe^> vaul1,  i've read it.. However
[20:46] <rocket16> robertzaccour: Go to System-Administration-Users and groups. There, you can change password.
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> pk__: then use export to set the proxy properly
[20:46] <mnemon> MetalGeek_N00b: i'd suggest you learn how the userspace works instead until you understand C in that case :)
[20:46] <robertzaccour> i didn't forget my IRC password, i just wanna change it
[20:47] <BlaDe^> I want to skip the first 4gb, and I'm not sure if it's better to use skip=(1024*1024*4)  or set the block-size higher etc
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> robertzaccour: ask in #freenode
[20:47] <MetalGeek_N00b> mnemon, should i learn c before c++
[20:47] <pk__> can i use .bashrc scripts
[20:47] <rocket16> Charlix keeps on asking for xdialog, but it can't be installed. How to get it working?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> BlaDe^: i think the switch is offset=
[20:47] <BlaDe^> MetalGeek_N00b,  no
[20:47] <mkanyicy> BlaDe^, what do you want to achieve?
[20:47] <BlaDe^> ActionParsnip,  naw it's skip=
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> pk__: sure put it in tat file and it will be defined
[20:47] <Yashy> I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/cKRjWPEs
[20:47] <^peanut^> BlaDe^: dd if=/path/to/device/or/file (if is in file) of=/dev/cdrom? or some other device

[20:47] <Monty> himuraken, which kernel version do you use? and is the b43 module loaded?
[20:47] <mkanyicy> MetalGeek_N00b, just learn something
[20:48] <mnemon> MetalGeek_N00b: yeah, no need, they're pretty similar and once you understand c++ you should be able to understand c

[20:48] <robertzaccour> how do i change my freenode password?
[20:48] <MetalGeek_N00b> I just want to devote my time to learning one thing well at a time not all this chopping and changing
[20:48] <himuraken> Monty: b43 not listed in hardware drivers due to system not seeing card
[20:48] <BlaDe^> I want to image my entire device but there's a 4gb size limit on my filesystem so I need to get 4-8 now
[20:48] <^peanut^> BlaDe^: =)
[20:49] <Pici> robertzaccour: /msg nickserv help set password, freenode help really belongs in #freenode though
[20:49] <Kingsy> say I have the command chmod 777 folder
[20:49] <Kingsy> how can I make that command recursive? so EVERY folder and file in it is 777 ?
[20:49] <himuraken> Kingsy: -R
[20:49] <mnemon> MetalGeek_N00b: operating systems are complex beasts, in order to understand how they work you need to understand lots of different things, on the other hand you could just focus on how gnome, bash and c++ work for an example
[20:49] <BlaDe^> MetalGeek_N00b,  if you learn C first you will disregard and advantages of using the stl
[20:49] <mkanyicy> BlaDe^, why dont you use partimage and partimarge-server?
[20:49] <^peanut^> Kingsy: chmod -R 777 folder
[20:50] <Kingsy> chmod -R 777 folder ?
[20:50] <Kingsy> ok thanks
[20:50] <cr0bar> anyone know how to add the optical drive to the grub2 menu?
[20:50] <BlaDe^> mkanyicy, because i've never heard of them ;D
[20:50] <guntbert> Kingsy: don't set 777
[20:50] <MetalGeek_N00b> BlaDe^,  stl?
[20:50] <BlaDe^> standard library
[20:50] <MetalGeek_N00b> N00b remember?
[20:50] <himuraken> Monty: correct me if I am wrong, but bwcuter/b43 wont matter until the OS sees the card via lspci etc
[20:50] <pk__> ActionParsnip: i used export http_proxy  and set the correct proxy address with authentication  but programs are showing Authentication required
[20:50] <pk__> i am really stuck
[20:51] <pk__> i think that preferences are overriding
[20:51] <cjsurr> Could anyone please explain to me how to auto-join channels? I try with this: "/ns ajoin add #ubuntu", but NickServ claims it is an invalid command. I am using Pidgin as the IRC client.
[20:51] <edbian> himuraken, That is correct.
[20:51] <tdn> I cannot login via GDM. Please help. My files are not being decrypted upon login. (using ecryptfs)
[20:51] <himuraken> edbian: nod.
[20:51] <mkanyicy> BlaDe^, its non-standard unlike dd. But it can bzip2 a your filesystem clone
[20:51] <guntbert> pk__: what programs are you talking about?
[20:51] <Kingsy> guntbert - why?
[20:51] <himuraken> I have tried pressing the button during post, in BIOS, etc. No dice.
[20:51] <Monty> himuraken, check lspci -nn|grep -i broadcom
[20:51] <mkanyicy> BlaDe^, and dump it to a remote machine via ssh while doing that
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> pk__: http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/how-to-use-apt-get-behind-proxy-server-ubuntudebian.html
[20:52] <Monty> are you sure there is no card?
[20:52] <pk__> like apt
[20:52] <himuraken> Monty: wired nic
[20:52] <ManDay> How can I prevent X from autoplug a hardware device?
[20:52] <himuraken> only*
[20:52] <Monty> hmm
[20:52] <guntbert> Kingsy: because with 777 every user can write to that directory - that is very insecure
[20:52] <himuraken> Monty: volume, mute etc work fine(are illuminated blue)
[20:52] <MetalGeek_N00b> Lets say that my eventual long term goal was linux super user, with short term goals in between obviously as i am only newbie. Forget i mentioned programming. What is my first short term goal?
[20:52] <Monty> did you try to switch the wlan button, even if it das not show anything, and then again lspci?
[20:52] <guntbert> pk__: if I remember correctly apt has its own proxy settings
[20:52] <Monty> das=does
[20:53] <himuraken> Monty: yeah man
[20:53] <Monty> hmmm
[20:53] <Monty> strange
[20:53] <himuraken> Monty: XD
[20:53] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, Start using the cli.  Figure out something you want to do in the GUI stop do that thing in the cli instead.
[20:53] <pk__> ActionParsnip: this article was written in 2006  ...in 2006 i used  the same method and it worked
[20:53] <pk__> but now it does not work
[20:53] <rallias> how do i set the dns server used on my machine to localhost?
[20:53] <MetalGeek_N00b> ccli = terminal?
[20:53] <pk__> guntbert: where are the settings?
[20:53] <Kingsy> guntbert - its not anything important I am doing something really quickly then its getting deleted
[20:53] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, cli == command line interface.   That ought to get you going.
[20:54] <^peanut^> pk_: there is a system-wide proxy setup in ubuntu, and the http_proxy option you can set for your shell. have you tried the system-wide setup?
[20:54] <himuraken> edbian: well said
[20:54] <cr0bar> anyone know about adding a CD to the grub2 menu?
[20:54] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, Good luck mastering both :)  It could be argued that each one is impossible to "master"
[20:55] <edbian> cr0bar, You should just tell your bios to boot the CD.  Probably a much easier task.
[20:55] <himuraken> gotta jet for a bit thanks for the tips Monty and edbian
[20:55] <Dr_Willis> cr0bar:  you mean a 'boot the cd in the optical drive' entry ? Or a 'boot this iso file' entry?
[20:55] <edbian> himuraken, bye!
[20:55] <MetalGeek_N00b> himuraken, VI?
[20:55] <rallias> how do i get NetworkManager to quit modifying the /etc/resolv.conf file?
[20:55] <edbian> !vi
[20:55] <cr0bar> the catch is, the old DVD drive died ages ago, and the BIOS isn't recognizing the "new" drive as bootable - it works perfectly fine in any OS once it's booted
[20:55] <pk__> ^peanut^: i used that but authentication doesnot work with that
[20:55] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, I prefer nano and emacs :)
[20:56] <MetalGeek_N00b> eb both?
[20:56] <Monty> rallias: maybe you want to manually define the dns-settings for your network-connection in the network-manager
[20:56] <BlaDe^> mkanyicy, gzipping will prolly use all my phones cpu though wont it?
[20:56] <cjsurr> Could anyone please explain to me how to auto-join channels? I try with this: "/ns ajoin add #ubuntuforums", but NickServ claims it is an invalid command. I am using Pidgin as a IRC client.
[20:56] <edbian> !IDE > edbian
[20:56] <Dr_Willis> cr0bar:  that is weird. if its an IDE drive. perhaps the jumper is wrong.
[20:56] <tech2077> !code
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> pk__: look at when most of the man pages were written. age is quite irrelevant
[20:56] <tech2077> lol
[20:56] <cr0bar> Not sure - http://www.computing.net/answers/hardware/toshiba-laptop-bios-not-detecting-cdrom-/59619.html is what I'm experiencing
[20:56] <rallias> Monty: TYVVM
[20:56] <mkanyicy> pk__, authentication WORKS with gnome-netwok-properties!!!
[20:56] <mikm> I've been having some weird issues with Xsession. For whatever reason, I can't change the session I use with gdm or kdm. That is, if I select "xterm" instead of Gnome, I get taken to Gnome anyhow.
[20:57] <trill> hello, could anyone please explain to me how to install a webcam on ubuntu?
[20:57] <^peanut^> pk_: so this "export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"
[20:57] <guntbert> pk__: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/how-to-set-up-proxy-in-apt-gets-apt-conf-265793/  (post #2) shows the code, but the file isn' there any more
[20:57] <^peanut^> didn't work?
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> cjsurr: click conversation-> add   you can then add the channel, you can also make the client autoconnect to the channel in the same dialogue
[20:57] <lxsys> can anybody help me with the xorg.conf?
[20:57] <btw> hi.  i did a usermod to rename a user account and corresponding home directory.  it was using an encrypted home drive via ecryptfs.  now when the user tries to log in they get a "You do not own that encrypted directory".  any idea on how to resolve this?  i checked ownership in the /home/.ecryptfs/user directory and all was with the new user account login
[20:57] <MetalGeek_N00b> This is the problem. Everyone likes something different, so everyone is right and wrong at the same time, I agree and will put alot of my effort into cli for the time being and discuss the rest later
[20:57] <pk__> mkanyicy: authentication no doubt works ...but not when it is used in command line
[20:57] <pk__> you can try
[20:57] <mikm> It only happens on one account, no others are affected,
[20:57] <e01> hello
[20:57] <tech2077> mikm, do you have them installed
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> cjsurr: it may be alia
[20:57] <edbian> trill, Plug the webcam in.  Turn on the computer.  If that doesn't work we can get much deeper.
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> *alias
[20:57] <mkanyicy> BlaDe^, are you running ubuntu on a cellphone?
[20:57] <MetalGeek_N00b> Thank you everyone
[20:57] <tech2077> lxsys, what you need
[20:57] <mikm> tech2077: Of course. xterm is installed by default.
[20:57] <tech2077> mikm, i was wondering about kdm
[20:58] <trill> Ok, thanks . Im going to try that again and see if it works brb
[20:58] <mikm> tech2077: Same behavior.
[20:58] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, Choice is only a problem for the inexperienced.  It is a tool for a user on the latter half of the learning curve.
[20:58] <e01> i had nokia 5800, how can i using it for network connection over bluetooth
[20:58] <pk__> mkanyicy: use a proxy with authentication in you gnome-network-properties and then echo $http_proxy   ..u will be more surprised than me
[20:58] <cjsurr> ActionParsnip: That worked, thanks.
[20:58] <BlaDe^> mkanyicy,  i'm dual booting android(with an ubuntu kernel) and osx
[20:58] <cr0bar> I'm trying to get XP installed, so if I add the XP ISO (gotta love MSDNAA) to the GRUB2 menu, it should be fine from there?
[20:58] <BlaDe^> so I can run a shell on both
[20:58] <lxsys> tech2077: help! :L um, I can't get it to work, and i'm new to xorg.conf editing. shall I pastebin the config?
[20:58] <mikm> tech2077: I've scoured my dotfiles and such, but I can't find anything out of the ordinary
[20:59] <tech2077> mikm, can you change session from inside you gnome session, like run plasma-desktop and kdm, lxsys, yes pastebin it, and tell me what you want to achieve
[20:59] <Yashy> I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu ("X Window System error"): http://pastebin.com/BM2T22p0
[20:59] <mikm> tech2077: Of course. plasma-desktop etc. runs without a hitch
[21:00] <mikm> The only clue is a message in .xsession-errors "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-args: 67: message: not found"
[21:00] <tech2077>  mikm, this is strange, try out some stuff and i'll get back to you
[21:01] <fiver22> anyone know of a fix for the notification area/tray volume slider only engages at 20% -10.04. Thanks.

[21:02] <Monty> lxsys, do you use the official matrox mga driver?
[21:03] <lxsys> Monty: um, I don't know. how do I know?
[21:03] <maiko> Why I can't move my files to trash, I get this message: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?\n\nThe file "untitled folder" cannot be moved to the trash." [cancel][skip][delete]
[21:03] <maiko> !ask
[21:04] <edbian> maiko, Is the file on a partition that isn't ext-something ??
[21:04] <MetalGeek_N00b> ok so Learn the terminal or Cli, Is there some way that i can see incoming and outgoing connections, open ports etc in the cli
[21:04] <iceroot> MetalGeek_N00b: netstat
[21:04] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, Yes netstat
[21:04] <guntbert> MetalGeek_N00b: start with lsof -i
[21:04] <maiko> I have the both.
[21:04] <edbian> iceroot, you beat me!
[21:05] <MetalGeek_N00b> ok opened a terminal
[21:05] <iceroot> edbian: better luck next time :)
[21:05] <maiko> edbian, I have the both things
[21:05] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, To learn how to use netstat (or any program) run man netstat
[21:05] <enav> MetalGekk nice nickname
[21:05] <Monty> lxsys, wait..i have to look what it looked like in my backup...don't have the card anymore...
[21:05] <edbian> maiko, What?  What file system is the partition that contains the file you're trying to delete?
[21:05] <MetalGeek_N00b> enav, was that a touch oif sarcasm
[21:05] <Yashy> MetalGeek_N00b: http://hackepedia.org/?title=Ports
[21:05] <maiko> edbian, it's ext4
[21:05] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, To learn how if you're a beginner, google "netstat"
[21:06] <maiko> edbian, i know it's very strange
[21:06] <MetalGeek_N00b> edbian, info overload
[21:06] <edbian> maiko, mmm, that's odd.  Do you have permissions to move the folder?  Technically sending something to trash is moving it.
[21:06] <MetalGeek_N00b> wow
[21:06] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, ha ha ha :)
[21:06] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, There is a lot to learn.  Linux is a rabbit hole of sorts
[21:07] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  waht if its not the same filesystem as his /home/ is on? it would be weird for somthing to get 'deleted' from one filesystem and actgually moved to a 2nd fileystem. (and could be slow)
[21:07] <maiko> edbian, yes i have the permissions because the file is in my home folder
[21:07] <Yashy> I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu ("X Window System error"): http://pastebin.com/BM2T22p0
[21:07] <MetalGeek_N00b> cool, let me take the red pill then, im a quick study, and linux is definatly an eye opener
[21:07] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  never mind. :) it is in his /home/ heh
[21:07] <guntbert> MetalGeek_N00b: for a first impression use lsof -i  -- shows all connections and all listening servers
[21:07] <MetalGeek_N00b> Lets start with netstat
[21:08] <edbian> Dr_Willis, That's probably what's going on.  But I thought if you delete a file on an ext partition the file is moved to that partition's .trash.  not the user's .trash ?
[21:08] <DCat> Hi.  Can someone suggest a hot corners(OS X app) equivalent in Ubuntu?
[21:08] <Dr_Willis> DCat:  compiz has some settings to do 'things' when you move the mouse to the corners
[21:09] <edbian> DCat, I set up compiz to use the corners.  It works well :)
[21:09] <DCat> edbian and Dr_Willis: thanks.. will check it out.. I tried brightside but it doesn't work on my 9.10 install
[21:09] <edbian> DCat, Compiz is the best :)
[21:09] <DCat> edbian, i am green to compiz really.  what was the subsetting called?
[21:10] <DCat> or is it obvious?
[21:11] <edbian> DCat, You go to the plugin you want activated by the corner then you change the keybinding for that plugin to be some corner of the screen.
[21:11] <trill> I just plugged in my webcam and restarted my computer but its still not working can someone help
[21:11] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, http://commandwindows.com/netstat.htm  Explains that netstat -a shows all active connections on all interfaces.
[21:11] <edbian> trill, Does it show up in the output of lspci??
[21:11] <edbian> trill, What program are you using with your webcam?
[21:12] <cjsurr> I want to copy my entire / to a backup disk to be restored onto a RAID array. Which method is best to ensure that I copy all files, including hidden ones?
[21:12] <trill> i havent found any programs. Im new to linux and ubuntu
[21:12] <DCat> Sorry edbian I don't understand.. I did find a page via google with compiz hot corners as a term
[21:12] <DCat> ill start reading up
[21:12] <maiko> edbian, this is my ls -lh .local/share/Trash/ returns: total 12K

[21:12] <edbian> DCat, Do you have compiz config settings manager installed?
[21:12] <FloodBot2> maiko: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:12] <enav> trill what do you need bro?
[21:12] <DCat> edbian, yes
[21:12] <edbian> enav, His webcam doesn't work.
[21:12] <daniel__> I am having difficulty logging into my cups server (at http://localhost:631). Although my username is a member of the lpadmin group, cups does not validate my password. Any suggestions?
[21:13] <mnemon> trill: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[21:13] <trill> Im trying to install this logitech web cam i've been searching for drivers overnight installed a few but none of them seem to work
[21:13] <trill> thanks@menmon
[21:13] <MetalGeek_N00b> why so many connection for rythembox?
[21:13] <edbian> DCat, As an example I'll show you how to make expo activate when the upper left corner is touched.  Open CCSM and go to the expo plugin.
[21:13] <Monty> lxsys, can't find any modules or logfiles in my backup....but you could check for an installed package "dpkg -l *mga*" and look for ii
[21:13] <MetalGeek_N00b> and is this normal ubuntuone 1476 marcus   20u  IPv4  40386      0t0  TCP <IP_ADDRESS>:55403->ec2-174-129-241-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com:https (ESTABLISHED)
[21:13] <mecenas> hello
[21:13] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, Not all of them are true network connections I think.  Some of them are ports that the system uses.  The packets never leave the machine.  Does that make sense?
[21:13] <jose__> greetings. i'm running both win7 and ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. i want to clean up the boot menus. initial boot brings up what i understand to be grub2/gnu grub. if i arrow down to last item for windows longhorn it brings up windows boot menu from which i have to choose win7, ubuntu(defunct) and ubuntu(also defunct) how do i fix?
[21:14] <mecenas> can someone tell me is there any big difference between ubuntu and ubuntu netbook edition? is netbook editition really prepared for small screens and resolution?
[21:14] <Soul_Sample> is there a panel applet for cpu scaling which can change settings for all cores at once? i have to have 4 and it's tedious
[21:14] <DCat> edbian. ok im there
[21:14] <trill> where exactly is ekiga located?
[21:15] <edbian> mecenas, Netbook edition has a special little User Interface with big buttons and stuff.  That's the biggest difference.
[21:15] <Blue1> trill: which ekiga
[21:15] <DCat> trill, usr bin
[21:15] <mecenas> i'm just wondering, if ie. google chrome preferences windows will fit my screen in netbook edition..in normal it dosen't
[21:15] <Vigo_> trill: Is it installed?
[21:15] <mecenas> edbian, thx
[21:15] <maiko> edbian,  this is the permissions that i have in the trash folder http://paste.ubuntu.com/463680/
[21:15] <edbian> DCat, Under bindings tab do you see Expo Edge ??
[21:15] <DCat> edbian, yep
[21:15] <trill> thats what im trying to find out@vigo i have ubuntu 10.4 i thought it was pre installed
[21:15] <mecenas> edbian, so it's all about this lunch interface:)
[21:15] <lxsys> Monty: i've got the standard ones included with X installed.
[21:15] <edbian> maiko, I'm not sure! :(  Sorry
[21:16] <edbian> DCat, Change the edge to top left
[21:16] <Vigo_> trill: Normally it is in Internet , GUI,
[21:16] <MetalGeek_N00b> I Was reading earlier that all ports on a new install start set to Allow all. and that you have to manually change them with iptables or ufw, is this true
[21:16] <trill> k brb
[21:16] <DCat> wow thanks!
[21:16] <Monty> k..my xorg.conf used the official matrox one
[21:16] <thune3> fiver22: i don't know any fix. It appears that the volume slider pulls down alsa Master until ~20%, and the last ~20% it then pulls down PCM and LFE. I don't know why it does it this way. My point is that there is an intentional "behavior" for the bottom ~20%.
[21:16] <edbian> DCat, Now press back and it should be working.  Touch the mouse to the top left corner
[21:16] <edbian> DCat, You got it?
[21:16] <mikm> tech2077: I'm asking in #xorg. I'll let you know if they have any clues
[21:16] <MetalGeek_N00b> could anyone with my ip just walk in at the moment
[21:16] <DCat> edbian, thats all i really need.. for some reason my CTRL-ALT arrows function died.. and I missed it :/
[21:16] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, Yes
[21:16] <DCat> edbian, yes it works fine
[21:16] <mnemon> MetalGeek_N00b: they can't just walk in
[21:17] <daniel__> I am having difficulty logging into my cups server (at http://localhost:631). Although my username is a member of the lpadmin group, cups does not validate my password. Any suggestions?
[21:17] <trill> I dont have a GUI option
[21:17] <tech2077> mikm, ok
[21:17] <trill> under internet
[21:17] <jose__> anyone?
[21:17] <mnemon> MetalGeek_N00b: but if you want firewall install firestarter for an example
[21:17] <DCat> when 10.10 comes out I am rebuilding this box, so maybe my CTRL-ALT arrows thing will come back :)
[21:17] <fiver22> thanks, thune3 -it's a small annoyance, I suppose
[21:17] <DCat> thx edbian
[21:17] <MetalGeek_N00b> thats a gui though, i wanna learn cli
[21:17] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, You're not running any software right now that listens for people to walk in.  (e.g. you don't have a door to walk into)
[21:17] <mnemon> MetalGeek_N00b: the iptables
[21:18] <Vigo_> trill: I do not have it installed, but I think it is in Applications>Internet, on Gnome
[21:18] <mnemon> MetalGeek_N00b: run "man iptables" in cli and start writing rules :)
[21:18] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, iptables -L lists all your current rules.  You can add rules to block network traffic for various reasons.  It is very complex and very powerful.
[21:18] <edbian> DCat, No problem :)
[21:18] <edbian> DCat, Most plugins support screen edges but not all of them.
[21:18] <maiko> Why I can't move my files to trash, I get this message: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?\n\nThe file "untitled folder" cannot be moved to the trash." [cancel][skip][delete]. It happens in all my partitions, ext4, fat32 and ntfs
[21:18] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, I'm still trying to figure out netstat too so this is a learning experience for both of us :)
[21:18] <DCat> edbian, while i am at it, do you know of a good primer/read on compiz?  i dont even know where to begin understanding it
[21:18] <Monty> lxsys, if you want to give them a try: http://projects.tuxx-home.at/mga/drivers/latest/ (i would suggest 4.4.4, but don't know if they wwork with current kernel versions)
[21:19] <MetalGeek_N00b> edbian, but i also read that manually manipulating iptables messes with networkmanager gui in gnome
[21:19] <vaul1> People, how do I disble audio jack autodetection?
[21:19] <edbian> DCat, I learned most of what I know about it by tinkering with ccsm.  the keybindings tab is probably the most useful on every plugin.  I'm not sure of a good read for it.  man compiz perhaps??
[21:19] <Monty> lxsys, and you have to update the PCI-line in my xorg.conf regarding to your lspci output
[21:19] <trill> i still don't see it , could it be anywhere else
[21:20] <|jonathan|> i cannot fix my dialup prblem it says modem is not responding in wvdial can anyone help me with it
[21:20] <|jonathan|> plz
[21:20] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, perhaps.  Depends on the rules you create.  However I suggest messing with it and when it causes a problem to flush all the rules you created using iptables -F
[21:20] <D-coy> m4v?
[21:20] <D-coy> x)
[21:20] <|jonathan|> i am using ubuntu 10.04
[21:20] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, You're not going to learn anything if you're too afraid to tinker now and then :)
[21:20] <DCat> edbian, i dont have the courage you do.. and i cant mess with compiz in a vm that i know of. :)  Ill check the man pages/youtube and the googles... cheers.
[21:20] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, I can't tell you the number of times I've almost hosed my entire system :)
[21:21] <edbian> DCat, Ha :)  Have fun! :)
[21:21] <MetalGeek_N00b> I Input iptables -L and this happened
[21:21] <MetalGeek_N00b> FATAL: Error inserting ip_tables (/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko): Operation not permitted
[21:21] <MetalGeek_N00b> iptables v1.4.4: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root)
[21:21] <MetalGeek_N00b> Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

[21:21] <edbian> I never thought of my curiosity as daring the way you people do :)
[21:21] <slinker1> MetalGeek_N00b: try sudo  iptables -L
[21:21] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, You don't need to upgrade it.  You just gave a faulty command with bad syntax.  To view the rules you have right now: sudo iptables -L
[21:22] <DCat> edbian, i dont mind screwing with things i mildly understand, but that was the MOST time i ever spent in the compiz config.
[21:22] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, There is a lot to learn about iptables
[21:22] <aculver> Searched google and I can't find an answer for this. I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. The clock in my taskbar is now stuck at 1:57pm, but my system clock is correct...
[21:22] <guntbert> MetalGeek_N00b: use sudo iptables -L
[21:22] <|jonathan|> MetalGeek_N00b hey can u solve my problem with wvdial dial up problem
[21:22] <edbian> DCat, ha ha!  I practically lived there the month after I discovered it.
[21:22] <trill> does anyone else have any ideas
[21:22] <edbian> trill, Does the webcam show up in the output of lspci?  What program are you trying to use with your cam??
[21:22] <MetalGeek_N00b> so that i do the same again with root priviliges
[21:22] <Vigo_> DCat: Here is one of the Recognized Guides for Debian/Ubuntu, still looking for the Compiz one> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1052065&highlight=compiz+guide

[21:23] <razer> does anyone use crossover?
[21:23] <mnemon> trill: what's the problem
[21:23] <edbian> MetalGeek_N00b, this is the command: "sudo iptables -L"  without quotes.  That runs the command as root.
[21:23] <DCat> thanks Vigo_ and soreau
[21:23] <Monty> razer: yes
[21:23] <Monty> at work for office 2007

[21:23] <edbian> trill, in a terminal type it and press enter.  It's a command
[21:23] <guntbert> aculver: ?
[21:24] <MetalGeek_N00b> yup did that, but cant tell you result as i was warned about flooding
[21:24] <trill> when i hit alt f2 the run application app runs

[21:24] <isleshocky771> I'm unable to get Ubuntu Server 10.04 x32 to recognize my 2TB Seagate SATA drive (ST32000542AS). I was able to have Windows Vista recognize and format it. Any ideas?
[21:25] <Monty> razer, sorry, never had to do that...it was just a "workaround" for staying comaptible with our  exchange server
[21:25] <qkeen> Hi, have just compiled the last coreutils, now how to replace default coreutils going with Ubuntu?
[21:25] <grendal_prime> is there a way to nfs export a dir that is a nfs mounted dir?
[21:25] <grendal_prime> i guess re-export a dir
[21:25] <guntbert> isleshocky771: if you don't get answers here you could ask in #ubuntu-server
[21:26] <tuga3d> hi all, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i've installed wine and google sketchup, but i cannot export geometry from it. is this a configuration issue or a bug?
[21:26] <isleshocky771> guntbert: thanks
[21:27] <peter__> hei
[21:27] <maiko> Why I can't move my files to trash, I get this message: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?\n\nThe file "untitled folder" cannot be moved to the trash." [cancel][skip][delete]. It happens in all my partitions, ext4, fat32 and ntfs
[21:27] <hilko> hi. i am trying to config ubuntu 10.1 on an older system (Pentium 4). unfortunately, it does not work out of the box (live cd does work though): if i change console via ctrl+alt+F2, login and then type "start", X starts normally. but network is not working either. i have to go to console and type "sudo dhclient". then everyting works just fine. what is wrong? shouldnt this work out of the box?
[21:27] <DCat> isleshocky771, did a live desktop ubuntu cd see it?
[21:27] <peter__> could anyone tell me how can i remove the clock from notification area? (it's part of the notification area...)
[21:28] <govatent>  hey, does anyone know how to make the open source ati drivers work with a second monitor on lucid?
[21:28] <trill> ok i loaded up the lspci
[21:28] <trill> what am i looking for
[21:28] <DCat> peter__, rightt click and remove it
[21:28] <isleshocky771> DCat: I haven't tried that. But after being told to check out ubuntu-server, I'm thinking maybe I should see if Ubuntu desktop will see it.
[21:28] <fyksen_> #thisweekinlinux
[21:28] <guntbert> peter__: try right clicking on it and selecting "remove from panel"
[21:28] <peter__> DCat: that removes the whole notification area
[21:28] <DCat> isleshocky771, itll only take a few mins.. might assist in why it isn't seen.
[21:28] <DCat> peter__, ahh
[21:29] <peter__> i have a clock and this other colck as a part of the notification area applet
[21:29] <trill> i dont see the name of m webcam
[21:29] <wizard_> does anyone know way my CPU will stick at 99 when running xbmc
[21:30] <eSa|> xchat-gnome sucks bad. it hanged 2 times at the network selection and stalled the whole xserver
[21:30] <Monty> peter__, what does a right-click on the clock, then info say? (applet-name?)
[21:30] <alexander_> is it appropriate to offer a small paypal payment either here or on the forums to get assistance with a problem?
[21:31] <Vigo_> !irc | eSa|
[21:31] <wizard_> alexander_, we are all here to help post for free
[21:31] <guntbert> wizard_: xbmc has its forums and wiki listed on its web site

[21:32] <wizard_> guntbert, thanks, I will do a google for it
[21:32] <theadmin> Is there a (CLI, obviously) tool to perform reverse IP checks in the repos? e.g. I have an IP and want to see what hostnames are assigned to it (or what hosts are on the same IP as one specified)
[21:32] <tor> Hi, I'm having problems with firefox in 10.04 after one of the latest upgrades. It wont start at all neither in regular or in safe mode. Any known issues? Removing my ~/.mozilla helps a little while but then it stops working again. (Without me adding or changing anything)
[21:32] <DCat> hilko, i had this problem on various machines...like the one i am on right now.  i had to install an elder ubuntu version and dist upgrade to get around it... hope this helps.
[21:32] <guntbert> wizard_: http://xbmc.org/
[21:32] <wizard_> guntbert, thanks mate
[21:32] <DCat> hilko, if it helps, i had to use 9.04... on this dell, ubuntu cd's past 9.04 dont load
[21:32] <guntbert> wizard_: :)
[21:32] <Flakeparadigm> Somehow I managed to mess up my X server. On startup, it tries to start X, then goes to a terminal login. running "startx" has no errors, and the log has only a couple of wanrings.
[21:33] <Loshki> alexander_: I found this on google, maybe it will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[21:33] <eSa|> Vigo_, thanks 4 pointing out. i like plain xchat
[21:33] <theadmin> Flakeparadigm: I think what you messed up is GDM, not the xserver... Ugh... I'm being forced to go off now. Willl see you all later
[21:33] <Yashy> scp P1010[680-709].JPG me@you.com:~/pics/ # what is wrong with this regexp?
[21:34] <pLr> Yashy: try #bash for that
[21:34] <Loshki> Yashy: what happens when you type it?
[21:34] <Monty> peter__, couldn't reproduce that..if i remove the clock-applet by clicking directly on the date (not next to it, where my notification area sits), my clock disappears...
[21:34] <Flakeparadigm> For the record, I'm not using GDM...
[21:34] <Vigo_> eSaj| You are quite welcome, I just tried a few out myself. there are many new ones, it appears.
[21:35] <yacoob> Looks like I can't boot my mac from lucid install disc. I can see 'ISOLINUX' text mode prompt, then a graphical screen flashes with two icons at the bottom, and I'm back at text mode. Is there some specific instruction for mac to install lucid?
[21:35] <hilko> dcat o0 wow well if thats the case.. it may help but its too much work for me to load the image etc.. the pc doesnt boot from usb. i am working ion the machine right now. the live cd did work fina too... dod yours?
[21:35] <trill> Vigo, i am installing ekiga , do you know whats the next step
[21:35] <yacoob> Yashy, [] works with ranges, but of characters, not numbers. And bash (by default) works with fileglobs, which are not regexpes
[21:35] <DCat> hilko, nothing past ubuntu 9.04
[21:36] <peter__> Monty: i have two clocks in the same panel
[21:36] <Vigo_> trill: From Synaptic or Software Center?
[21:36] <trism> Yashy: for a number range in bash, it is {680..709} not [680-709]
[21:36] <DCat> hilko, just down an older ubuntu and find out :)
[21:36] <trill> from a terminakl
[21:36] <trill> terminal*
[21:36]  * DCat back in a bit..
[21:36] <peter__> one is the clock and the other is a part of the notification area (it only disappears if i remove the notification area)
[21:36] <Vigo_> trill: Are you using a CLI only or a GUI?
[21:36] <trill> GUI
[21:37] <madrid> hi, my firefox 3.6 say :Warning: Unknown property 'zoom'.  Declaration dropped.

[21:37] <|jonathan|> help me with my wvdial problem
[21:37] <cjsurr> I want to copy my entire / to a backup disk to be restored onto a RAID array. Which method is best to ensure that I copy all files, including hidden ones?
[21:38] <hilko> dcat hm nah i am giving this pc away to a friend and i thought i would try to install ubuntu on it for him to test. but thats too much a fuss for me. i will just clear up the hdd and give it to him in empty state.. thansk anyway
[21:38] <Vigo_> trill: ok, which one?
[21:38] <trill> the gui is ubuntu 10.04 right?
[21:38] <hilko> dcat too bad ubuntu 10.1. is this crappy.. this will drive away many potential users i am sure
[21:38] <hilko> 10.4 of course
[21:39] <hilko> lol
[21:39] <Vigo_> trill: Gnome, KDE, LXDE, there are many, the default is Gnome, yes
[21:39] <trill> oh okay. Im using gnome
[21:40] <|jonathan|> hello
[21:40] <stealth027> hello
[21:40] <cordor> is there a way to turn off specific HD?
[21:40] <alexander_> Loshki how do I check this: If this occurs, verify the device is indeed not mounted, clean out /media/ipod, verify the permissions are correct, and mount again as your normal user.
[21:41] <Vigo_> trill: After it is installed, there should be a GUI for it that runs setup and such, It is like most any SIP service.
[21:42] <alexander_> woah loshki scratch that I think it's working?!
[21:42] <trill> o ok it just popped up
[21:43] <|jonathan|> hello
[21:43] <qkeen> If dd gives segfault while reading /dev/mem -- is it 'cause i'm reading protected area or 'cause it's a dd's bug?
[21:43] <alexander_> Different much easier question now: can I xfer a file betwix my virtual windows box and real Linux box?
[21:43] <rambo> hi
[21:43] <Vigo_> trill: Here is the home page:> http://ekiga.org/
[21:44] <Vigo_> trill: Yes, it is pretty much point and click with that and a few others, have fun!
[21:44] <racethesunlive> alexander_: what type of software are you using to host the virtual machine?
[21:44] <thune3> cjsurr: there are many ways to do such a copy. "cp -a
[21:44] <alexander_> virtualbox ose
[21:45] <|jonathan|> who is a wvdial expert here
[21:45] <thune3> cjsurr: is one way
[21:45] <trill> k, thanks. but after i finish installing ekiga can i use my web cam with other programs
[21:45] <cjsurr> thune3: Thank you i'll try that. And will it preserve all permissions?
[21:45] <alexander_> racethesunlive virtualbox ose
[21:46] <racethesunlive> alexander_: you can transfer files back and forth using the shared folder options
[21:46] <racethesunlive> alexander_: on the windows box it'll be under //vboxsvr/foldername
[21:46] <Vigo_> trill: I think so, yes, if it does not function, you may need to hang on the Forums a bit. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1408679&highlight=ekiga
[21:47] <trill> ok thanks vigo
[21:47] <cjsurr> thune3: Also, how do exclude directories such as /proc, /mnt
[21:47] <alexander_> roger thanks I'll get on it racethesunlive
[21:47] <Kartagis> can I start a screen and move an existing process into the screen?
[21:47] <lxsys> can anybody work out why ubuntu is ignoring my xorg.conf? xorg.conf here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/bh7TMH7g
[21:47] <Vigo_> trill: Ekiga has its own #channel on Freenode , it is in the Help and stuff of that GUI.
[21:47] <xyst> Hey, perhaps this question is silly, but is there a way to make sub-windows opened by applications stay on the same desktop?
[21:47] <Monty> alexander_, alternatively you could setup a samba share for mounting a netdrive in windows
[21:47] <soreau> lxsys: look at your X log and see what it says
[21:48] <lxsys> soreau: "Fatal server error: no screens found
[21:49] <|jonathan|> no one is helping me
[21:49] <Vigo_> xyst: Yes, it is called  Windowing, or something, AWN, gDesklets, Compiz and other pkgs have that capability.
[21:49] <alexander_> is that pretty easy monty I'm not seeing a vboxsvr folder
[21:49] <Priswell> |jonathan|: It's possible that no one has an answer for you.
[21:49] <thune3> cjsurr: if you run it as root (sudo), it should preserve mode, ownership, etc. The syntax of copy is "cp -a dir1 dir2 dir3 dir4 target_di\r" so you could just cp the dirs in the root dir that you want.
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> |jonathan|:  wvdial isent commonly used these days
[21:50] <Priswell> |jonathan|: Personally, I don't even know what wvdial is.
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> Priswell:  used for dial up modems
[21:50] <racethesunlive> alexander_: it wont make the \\vboxsvr network share until you set up a shared folder in the virtualbox settings for that machine
[21:50] <|jonathan|> Dr_Willis i have a usb modem .. how can i cinfigure it in ubuntu 10.04 and can use internet can u tell me?
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> |jonathan|:  You mean a DIAL UP usb modem?
[21:50] <Monty> alexander_, sudo apt-get samba, then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and see the sample entries... after a restart your share will be available in windows \\ip of host\share
[21:50] <racethesunlive> alexander_: sorry its \\vboxsrv\ not svr
[21:50] <cjsurr> thune3: thanks.
[21:50] <|jonathan|> yep Dr_Willis
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> !dialup
[21:51] <|jonathan|> dialup usb edge modem
[21:51] <|jonathan|> !dialup |jonathan|
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> |jonathan|:  see the url the bot just gave
[21:51] <Monty> alexander_, i guess, there are many simple howtos on the web for ubuntu samba shares
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc
[21:51] <Vigo_> Dr_Willis: Thank you, that one had me stumpered to no ends here...
[21:52] <alexander_> monty yeah I'm reading one thanks
[21:52] <bihari> hi i need some sort of help i got a power point presentation competation in my university and i got topic linux security i need some help on that can any plz!
[21:53] <xyst> Vigo_: do you know more things I can throw into a google search?  it appears "windowing" is finding just a bunch of stuff about window managers
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> bihari:  you mean you want us to do your research for you?
[21:54] <|jonathan|> Dr_Willis its not helpful
[21:54] <bihari> not exactly but you can give me some idea and clue
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> |jonathan|:  be a bit more concise and clear in your questions and comments.
[21:54]  * GrouchoMarx salutes Dr_Willis
[21:54] <|jonathan|> okk
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> bihari:  theres various 'linux security' web sites that focuses on that topic.
[21:55] <Vigo_> xyst: I had this conversation yesterday, I think, you mean a ccsm or gdm thing?
[21:55] <edbian> bihari, Don't start by asking in an irc channel.   Google it (wikipedia at the very least will be helpful)
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> bihari:  its a rather large topic. :)
[21:55] <dmg> \join #rack
[21:55] <Jordan_U> !google | bihari
[21:56] <edbian> Jordan_U, Not what you expected is it :)
[21:56] <xyst> Vigo_: I'm not sure what you're asking there--my google searches for "compiz windowing" and alike aren't yielding anything that says "enable this to turn this on" :)
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> Plus i think telling him to hit gogole first.. is a good answer in this case. :)
[21:56] <xyst> I read in the topic/onjoin the channel is logged, maybe I should try to find those..
[21:57] <Vigo_> xyst: Yes,
