[13:29] <Acs> hello
[13:29] <Acs> anyone know of a good ocr app for ubuntu?
[13:29] <sipior> laserbled: in fact, it's generally considered good practise to build the kernel in your home directory.
[13:29] <tgywa> Hello
[13:30] <tgywa> where is my swap file ... I don't have a partion devoted to it
[13:30] <sipior> laserbled: you should only require superuser privileges for the actual installation of the kernel.
[13:31] <ajin> if u have enough physical memory, the kernel won't use swap at all
[13:31] <te> laserbled: I agree, because if you do it at the office, you'll be interrupted by troublesome work related issues.
[13:31] <laserbled> sipior, but...the kernel 2.6.68 goes to over 2 gb while building and it stops since its run out of space....my home doesnt have much space left....so it will work if i built it outside rite..or is there any way that I could reduce the built size ?
[13:32] <v_v> 2.6.68 ?!
[13:32] <v_v> what ?
[13:32] <laserbled> ops..2.6.38
[13:32] <laserbled> sorry
[13:32] <Acs> anyone?
[13:32] <sipior> laserbled: doesn't *have* to be $HOME, of course, if you've another convenient spot. or just make a symbolic link to the build directory.
[13:33] <v_v> a big surprise
[13:33] <laserbled> sipior , I was in doubt wether the smlink will work...no that helped a lot :)
[13:33] <laserbled> thnx
[13:33] <xarinatan> I'm having trouble setting up an SVN server, it seems to be installed fine and svnadmin commands work, but the webdav is giving me trouble, can anyone help me out?
[13:33] <philinux> tgywa: See this > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[13:33] <te> Acs: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR
[13:34] <sipior> laserbled: you'll generally want to keep /usr/src for kernel sources shipped by your operating system vendor, since your C library is built against that version.
[13:34] <bullgard4> man sqlite3: 'sqlite> .dump ?TABLE? /home/detlef/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db; Error: unknown command or invalid arguments:  "dump". Enter ".help" for help'.' --   Whats wrong in this syntax?
[13:34] <Travis-42> some of the help.ubuntu.com documentation refers to a command called vol_id, but I can't find this command. which package do I need to install?
[13:35] <bullgard4> Travis-42: packages.ubuntu.com can help you.
[13:36] <DJones> Travis-42: have you got a link to the page you're looking at so we can see what the package is in reference to
[13:36] <Travis-42> bullgard4, I can't find it on there
[13:36] <Travis-42> DJones, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID
[13:36] <tsimpson> probably blkid
[13:36] <Travis-42> tsimpson, blkid exists, but it's a different command and I'd like to be able to use the vol_id version
[13:37] <Pici> Travis-42: It likely doesn't exist, that page says that it doesn't exist in karmic, and I'd bet no later versions as well.
[13:37] <Travis-42> ok thanks Pici
[13:38] <xarinatan> I'm having trouble setting up an SVN server, it seems to be installed fine and svnadmin commands work, but the webdav is giving me trouble, can anyone help me out?
[13:38] <tsimpson> Travis-42: vol_id just printed the UUID="..." part of what blkid prints anyway
[13:39] <Travis-42> ok then maybe someone can help with this. I just have a blank drive that shows up as /dev/sdf (or some other letter depending on boot), but doesn't show up in /dev/disk/by-id -- is there some other way I can refer to it by something that doesn't change?
[13:39] <ajin> when i uninstalled evolution, the gnome panel disappeared. can anyone help me out?
[13:40] <te> Travis-42: Make an entry in  fstab for it.
[13:40] <Travis-42> te: using what?
[13:40] <te> Travis-42: Create a mount point and a corresponding fstab entry.
[13:40] <aeiofuuuuuu> hello
[13:40] <gonzo38> hi
[13:40] <brandoney> I always assumed gnomes would be surly, but jeez.  Can anyone help me out with Rythmbox by testing a plugin for web interface?
[13:40] <ajin> anybody?
[13:41] <Gulfstream> how do I defragment my hard drive in Ubuntu?
[13:41] <aeiofuuuuuu> !anybody | ajin
[13:41] <Travis-42> te: how do I find the ID to refer to it with?
[13:41] <ni1s> Travis-42, does the drive have a partition table(i.e /dev/sdf has /dev/sdf1 etc.)?
[13:41] <sipior> Gulfstream: it's generally not necessary with modern filesystems, unless the volume is very full.
[13:41] <aeiofuuuuuu> "Leave message" in lock screen is not working. What can be the cause?
[13:41] <sipior> Gulfstream: you're sure you have a problem with fragmentation?
[13:42] <te> Travis-42:  But it depends on  what you intend to do with the drive. If it is not going to stay plugged in all the time, that may not be the best alternative.
[13:42] <Travis-42> nils, no it does not have a partition table. it's effectively blank. But I have a different drive that also has no partition table, but shows up in by-id
[13:42] <Gulfstream> sipior: I think so, the system is slow.
[13:42] <gonzo38> how do I send a message to another user when I am connected to freenode and using empathy ?
[13:42] <sipior> Gulfstream: that's not very convincing evidence :-)
[13:42] <ni1s> Travis-42, ah! thats why youre not seeing it in /dev/disk/by*
[13:42] <Fuchs> gonzo38: you could use /msg or /query, but both is considered rude in IRC.
[13:42] <Fuchs> gonzo38: IRC is not meant for "instant messages"
[13:42] <ajin> fine, sorry ,i'll figure it out myself.
[13:43] <te> Travis-42: Well, you first need to partition and format
[13:43] <Gulfstream> sipior: is there any way to make the system go faster?
[13:43] <aeiofuuuuuu> !irc | gonzo38
[13:43] <Travis-42> te: that would erase the encrypted data on the drive
[13:43] <Travis-42> :-)
[13:43] <sipior> Gulfstream: i would check memory first, with "free". is your cpu pegged as well?
[13:43] <gonzo38> fuchs: sure. let's say, it's a friend of mine, and I only want to ping him
[13:43] <te> Travis-42: Well, if there is data on the drive, It has already been partitioned and formatted.
[13:43] <Fuchs> gonzo38: connect to freenode and use /msg or /query.
[13:44] <aeiofuuuuuu> ok I disabled notify OSD thats why "leave message" doesnt work in lock screen
[13:44] <te> Travis-42: ... but you just said it was blank...?
[13:44] <Fuchs> gonzo38: but I really recommend doing this via services meant for that, e.g. jabber, icq, msn or similar.
[13:44] <Travis-42> te: no, the whole drive is encrypted. no visible partition unless I mount it in truecrypt. so it's effectively blank to linux
[13:44] <ankers> anyone know why my audio doesnt work on my laptop? im on ubuntu netbook using fluxbox i go into alsa mixa all turned up all the way, go into pulse audio play a song and it shows noise is going threw but not coming out the speakers?
[13:44] <Gulfstream> sipior: how do I check that?
[13:44] <gonzo38> fuchs: That's my concern, /msg returns "unknown command"
[13:44] <Fuchs> gonzo38: it should not. Try /query or even /notice
[13:44] <Travis-42> nils -- is there any way to refer to it with some sort of static identifier without a partition table? strangely I do have another similar drive that shows up in by-id
[13:45] <gonzo38> fuchs: /query, same fate
[13:45] <Fuchs> gonzo38: they take the nickname and the message as arguments,  e.g. /msg nickname message,  /notice nickname message   or /query nickname
[13:45] <te> Travis-42: You said it was blank and had no partition table.... oh well, never mind.
[13:45] <Fuchs> gonzo38: then get a real IRC client instead. The link from ubottu lists a few.
[13:45] <brandoney> actually direct messages is exactly what irc is meant for, that is why the DCC protocol.
[13:45] <sipior> Gulfstream: there's a system monitor utility shipped with the gnome desktop. figure out which process(es) are consuming memory/cpu cycles.
[13:45] <jOZe> hola
[13:45] <Travis-42> te: i said effectively blank and it has no partition table that can be recognized by fstab
[13:46] <gonzo38> fuchs: hence my question .. how to do that (or can I do that) with empathy
[13:46] <Gulfstream> sipior: I found the System Monitor, now what do I need to find?
[13:46] <sipior> Gulfstream: there's a cpu and memory usage indicator.
[13:46] <ankers> can someone help me get sound on my laptop :(
[13:46] <sipior> Gulfstream: also, *is* your disk nearly full?
[13:46] <ni1s> Travis-42, well,  not really sure i understand what you're doing here
[13:47] <brandoney> I dont know.  You could ask in a different channel.
[13:47] <Gulfstream> sipior: not really... I have a lot of space left, so it might be my slow CPU.
[13:48] <Travis-42> nils -- I have an encrypted drive that I need a script to be able to refer to, but I'm having trouble finding a way to refer to one of two drives because /dev/sdx changes at every boot. Until the drive is mounted by the encryption software, it looks like a blank drive with no partition table.
[13:49] <aeiofuuuuuu> how to search in nano?
[13:50] <juk> ankers: it's useless saying this, no one here is santa claus, post some output of your research on your laptop
[13:50] <v_v> santa claus ..
[13:51] <xarinatan> aeiofuuuuuu: ctrl+w (where is)
[13:51] <jamesgecko> aeiofuuuuuu, The shortcuts are at the bottom of the screen. ;-)
[13:52] <laserbled> hi...there is a folder home/.local/share/tracker which gets created everytime i reboot...i assume it is some indexing info...how can I stop this...i has some 1 gb+ size always
[13:52] <BluesKaj> aeiofuuuuuu, use the arrow keys
[13:52] <aeiofuuuuuu> tks
[13:53] <aeiofuuuuuu> is there a way to go the a line number in nano
[13:54] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: a easy way, give up nano. pick up vim
[13:54] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: )
[13:54] <randomuser> laserbeam, quit downloading torrents?
[13:54] <laserbeam> what?
[13:54] <jamesgecko> aeiofuuuuuu, Dunno, but you can check what like you're on by using Ctrl-C
[13:54] <jamesgecko> *line
[13:54] <BluesKaj> aeiofuuuuuu, look thr options at bottom
[13:54] <aeiofuuuuuu> v_v: vim is more complicated
[13:54] <aeiofuuuuuu> hhhe
[13:54] <randomuser> laserbeam, sorry, tab fail
[13:54] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: vim is simple
[13:54] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: believe me
[13:54] <laserbeam> hihi... ok
[13:55] <obscurant1st> how can i zoom into a specific part in my current desktop, is there any possible combinations with the mouse scroll, coz now when i scroll using the mouse, the whole desktop is zooming centered to the mouse pointer. Some key is stuck, but dont know which one, pls help!
[13:55] <aeiofuuuuuu> yeah v_v it uses colors :p
[13:55] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: 10min you will get used to vim
[13:55] <jamesgecko> aeiofuuuuuu, Ctrl+_
[13:55] <jamesgecko> aeiofuuuuuu, Ctrl+G pulls up the manual.
[13:55] <juk> aeiofuuuuuu: he is right, ctrl+_ in nano in vim you do :line or vi file +line
[13:56] <pcperini> ok, so call me really really dumb, but i accidentally ran "chmod 777 -R /etc" (meaning to run it on a folder in /etc). the repercussions have been pretty wide reaching, not the least of which being that i can't sudo anymore. is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling the entire OS?
[13:56] <s3r3n1t7> pcperini, short answer: no
[13:56] <sipior> pcperini: vastly quicker to reinstall, i'm afraid.
[13:56] <jamesgecko> v_v, I wouldn't wish vim on anyone who was having trouble with nano. :)
[13:56] <sipior> pcperini: or restore from backups, of course.
[13:56] <s3r3n1t7> pcperini, long answer: you could in theory reset all permissions by hand again, which would take a LOT more time then a reinstall.
[13:57] <pcperini> s3r3n1t7, sipior: fair… though it seems just a touch ridiculous that the operating system would be so fragile...
[13:57] <aeiofuuuuuu> ctrl+z to the rescue
[13:57] <aeiofuuuuuu> vim!
[13:57] <pwuertz> hi, I'm having trouble starting applications from my home directory after a update/restart today... trying to execute binaries just displays a "Permission denied" error
[13:57] <sipior> pcperini: if you don't know what you're doing, leave superuser privileges alone :-)
[13:57] <v_v> pwuertz: any details ?
[13:58] <s3r3n1t7> pcperini, there is nothing fragile about it
[13:58] <v_v> jasonjang: good luck ~
[13:58] <pwuertz> v_v, what kind of details do you need?
[13:58] <pwuertz> v_v, the executable flag is set
[13:59] <v_v> pwuertz: what's your app, and what's the basic attributes like lh -l ?
[13:59] <s3r3n1t7> pwuertz, what kind of permissions are set on the file? are you the owner?
[13:59] <jamesgecko> pcperini, many things break when you smash them with a hammer, unfortunately.
[13:59] <pcperini> sipior: i did/do know what i'm doing. i just had the misfortune of missing a few characters worth of subdirectory in the command. something that small, i feel, shouldn't render my system that crippled
[13:59] <pcperini> jamesgecko: true enough...
[14:00] <aeiofuuuuuu> I can't even quit vim
[14:00] <aeiofuuuuuu> lol
[14:00] <s3r3n1t7> aeiofuuuuuu, escape :q!
[14:00] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: :-P
[14:00] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: ZZ
[14:00] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: shift + ZZ
[14:01] <juk> aeiofuuuuuu: powerdown
[14:01] <pwuertz> s3r3n1t7, v_v, I'm the owner, the executable flag is set.. binaries are downloaded (eclipse or blender for example).. or own compiled applications.. they all refuse to start because "permission denied"
[14:01] <jamesgecko> aeiofuuuuuu, Press 'i' to get into edit mode. Press escape to leave edit mode. Type ':wq' outside of edit mode to save and quit. ':!q' to quit without saving.
[14:01] <sipior> pcperini: well, you're not the first to make such a mistake. consider it a lesson learned: triple-check everything prefixed by "sudo", or a root prompt. turns out most operating systems are pretty easy to cripple.
[14:01] <pwuertz> s3r3n1t7, v_v, is this some kind of new ubuntu security feature?
[14:01] <s3r3n1t7> pcperini, if a surgeon misses your lung and accidentily removes a piece of your heart, you will die, despite the difference being so so small.
[14:01] <s3r3n1t7> pwuertz, i don't have any issues with it, hence i'm suspecting something with just your system.
[14:01] <pcperini> yeah… reasonable. unfortunate, but reasonable. thanks guys
[14:02] <pwuertz> s3r3n1t7, hmm.. calling mount says: /dev/sda5 on /home type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user_xattr,commit=0)
[14:02] <ptlis> If a source package is installed via "apt-get source pkgname" where is the source installed to? I assumed it would be /usr/src or /usr/local/src but this is apparently not the case
[14:02] <pwuertz> s3r3n1t7, is "noexec" the reason?
[14:02] <ruan> what is the fastest way to change the default port of a ssh server?
[14:02] <s3r3n1t7> pwuertz, that'd be my guess. Why, i have no clue though.
[14:03] <v_v> pwuertz: if you want to be professional, you can run you app with strace
[14:03] <ruan> config files of openssh server?
[14:03] <Pumpkin-> ruan: change Port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and reload sshd
[14:03] <ruan> Pumpkin-: thanks, needed path
[14:03] <obiwan__> hi please, id like to know some way to make a thumb drive bootable. i _dont_ want any distro or anything installed. just make it bootable. is there some easy way to do this in linux? i tried with mbr.bin froms yslinux and then syslinux /dev/(myusbpartition) but it didnt work
[14:04] <MarconM> i can to install ubuntu minimal without internet
[14:04] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config       and then change port and save
[14:04] <obiwan__> theres one hp app that works in windows, but id like to know if theres some alternative as i dont want to install win just for that
[14:05] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: then sudo service ssh restart
[14:05] <pwuertz> s3r3n1t7, v_v, ok, its probably the noexec flag, seems that it was set by upgrading "dropbox"... guess I should blame them ^^
[14:05] <ruan> ok
[14:05] <AndrewMac>  hi guys, ive been foolish and destroyed my python on an ubuntu 9.04 server image, i believe at some stage i manually deleted the files and then tried to reinstall it with apt by forcing it, now unfortunately anything i install seems to fail, (eg: http://pastie.org/private/jwuhc5fwdlpotcqbisdkg ), even if i try --fix-missing it  i still cant get any additional libs/modules installed (like python-scapy) -- anyone got any ideas?
[14:05] <BluesKaj> !pt | MarconM
[14:05] <ruan> ok thanks. my openssh server was refusing connections
[14:05] <ruan> checking if a forwarded port works
[14:06] <aeiofuuuuuu> hm
[14:06] <orudie> while ubuntu server installation I get the following red screen "unable to set password for the mysql root user" , any idea  ?
[14:06] <MarconM> BluesKaj, what ?
[14:06] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: check the router or iptables
[14:06] <BluesKaj> !minimal | MarconM
[14:06] <ruan> hmm. it does nothing
[14:07] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: what
[14:07] <ruan> it doent say refused connection now
[14:07] <ruan> the windows client
[14:07] <aeiofuuuuuu> k
[14:07] <ruan> it doesnt connect tho
[14:07] <elfranne> how do i create a shortcut on the desktop like the bookmarks for a sftp ?
[14:07] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: did you restart the SSH server?
[14:07] <MarconM> BluesKaj, yes man i know ... but i want to install just the system ok ... can i to make this without connection
[14:07] <ruan> connection timed out
[14:07] <ruan> yes i did
[14:07] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: are you connecting over the internet or lan?
[14:08] <ruan> both
[14:08] <ankers> can someone help me get sound??
[14:08] <ruan> same wireless server
[14:08] <ruan> router
[14:08] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: you need to port forward
[14:08] <ruan> i did
[14:08] <ruan> port is open
[14:08] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: open the tcp for the new  port
[14:08] <ruan> no refused connections, but it times out now
[14:08] <BluesKaj> !cd |MarconM
[14:08] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: maybe windows is not allowing connections to the ssh server?
[14:09] <ruan> why would it refuse on a port that isnt forwarded and time out on a forwarded port?
[14:09] <aeiofuuuuuu> or ubuntu is using iptables and blocki connections
[14:09] <v_v> ruan: make sure your sshd is listening on the port you want with  a 'netstat -antl'
[14:09] <v_v> ruan: execute that cmd on the server
[14:09] <ruan> it is listening
[14:09] <aeiofuuuuuu> nice command v_v
[14:10] <v_v> ruan: and try ssh to localhost:that-port on the server
[14:10] <v_v> aeiofuuuuuu: thanks
[14:10] <ruan> ok
[14:10] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: install nmap and do nmap localhost -p PORT
[14:10] <aeiofuuuuuu> :C
[14:10] <ruan> it works
[14:10] <ruan> i mean
[14:10] <ruan> localhost
[14:10] <ruan> localhost connects fine
[14:11] <ruan> refuses on any other ports as well
[14:11] <v_v> ruan: what's the problem now ?
[14:11] <ruan> it still times out on the client
[14:11] <BluesKaj> MarconM, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[14:11] <v_v> ruan: where is the client
[14:11] <ankers> no one wants to help me get sound? :( i neeeeed musicccc
[14:11] <ruan> v_v: right next to the server, on the same network
[14:11] <aeiofuuuuuu> v_v: btw i prefer netstat -plantu
[14:11] <aeiofuuuuuu> :)
[14:11] <v_v> ruan:  same LAN ?
[14:11] <ruan> same lan yes
[14:12] <ruan> but its connecting from the internet
[14:12] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: port is not opened to the internetz
[14:12] <ruan> how would i open it? its forwarded for sure
[14:12] <ruan> and i dont have ufw running
[14:12] <aeiofuuuuuu> windows firewall
[14:12] <aeiofuuuuuu> sucking
[14:12] <ruan> windows firewall? hmmmmm
[14:13] <v_v> ruan: ok, do you mean you have a router connecting to that server, and your client is trying to connect to you router
[14:13] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: are you using putty to connect ?
[14:13] <ruan> my client is on the router, sharing connection
[14:13] <ruan> im using openssh on windows
[14:13] <aeiofuuuuuu> hm
[14:13] <ruan> client is attempting to connect to server
[14:14] <ruan> through internet.
[14:14] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: external IP is correct?
[14:14] <obiwan__> please any simple way to make a usb bootable? and no, im not trying to install any live partition, just make a drive bootable. thanks
[14:14] <v_v> ruan: whats' the ip of your server and your window, it's ok, they are LAN ip, don't worry about the secure
[14:14] <ruan> they're not LAN ips
[14:14] <ruan> internet ips
[14:14] <aeiofuuuuuu> obiwan__: live usb or persistent?
[14:14] <obiwan__> no live
[14:14] <obiwan__> just make it bootable
[14:14] <saml> how can I make rhythmbox to use alsa?
[14:14] <v_v> ruan: you said LAN, and now, internet ?
[14:14] <ruan> v_v: they share the connection
[14:14] <ruan> thats as far as lan goes
[14:14] <aeiofuuuuuu> obiwan__: system > admin > startup disk creator
[14:14] <saml> i set up equalizer for alsa .. so mplayer sounds good but not rhythmbox
[14:15] <ruan> im in need of an internet ssh though
[14:15] <obiwan__> that asks me an iso
[14:15] <user_> bdfhjk
[14:15] <obiwan__> i dont want any iso
[14:15] <aeiofuuuuuu> obiwan__: unetbotin
[14:15] <obiwan__> i just want to install the code in the disk to make it bootable
[14:15] <aeiofuuuuuu> hm
[14:15] <ruan> i dont think its windows firewall, because it can attempt on other ports
[14:15] <ruan> on the forwarded one it times out
[14:16] <obiwan__> just like the hp drive key boot utility does with any thumb drive . but its for win, im looking for somethjing simmilar in ubuntu
[14:16] <v_v> ruan: that seems complicated now, we don't know how your server get connected on the internet, maybe there is firewalls between your client and the server
[14:17] <alienr3born> join #python
[14:17] <juk> !syslinux | obiwan__:
[14:17] <v_v> ruan: afaik, the windows firewall won't block a connection which is going out
[14:17] <ruan> my ufw is disabled
[14:17] <Absalon> Hi! Anyone who can help me with an Ubuntu issue here? Trying to access my WD Sharespace so that it can be recognized by xbmc?
[14:17] <ruan> besides, it refuses on all ports other than the forwarded one, which times out
[14:17] <v_v> obiwan__: syslinux is nice
[14:17] <obiwan__> juk: i tried syslinux but didnt work
[14:17] <obiwan__> after rebooting it states ' no os found'
[14:17] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: sure it's not a DNS problem ? :p
[14:18] <aeiofuuuuuu> or r u using the IP
[14:18] <juk> obiwan__: you said you whant to just boot
[14:18] <juk> what?
[14:18] <ruan> aeiofuuuuuu: jsut the IP
[14:19] <ruan> my ISP does the DNS work
[14:19] <obiwan__> im trying to run a program for my disk. and i need to boot from a usb to use it
[14:19] <v_v> obiwan__: usually, a program is ruuning on a OS. which OS do you need, linux or windows ?
[14:20] <ruan> i know for sure that it's my IP because its my forwarded port that does something unique
[14:20] <juk> obiwan__: do you want to flash your bios?
[14:20] <obiwan__> thats the problem v_v im not suppoed to run any os
[14:20] <Christoph_vW> when I install 11.04 alpha 3 now - can I just update to the release later?
[14:20] <v_v> ruan: can your client visit any port of your server ?
[14:20] <obiwan__> that program should be copied to the drive and then make it bootable
[14:20] <obiwan__> but its an exe
[14:21] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: http://canyouseeme.org/
[14:21] <aeiofuuuuuu> :D
[14:21] <xangua> Christoph_vW: yes, for natty support #ubuntu+1
[14:21] <aeiofuuuuuu> ruan: if you just changed port in sshd_config it should work..
[14:21] <v_v> obiwan__: if that exe file is an win32 PE, you need "Windows", or "DOS"
[14:21] <aeiofuuuuuu> bbl
[14:23] <obiwan__> oh that must be v_v , i need dos
[14:23] <obiwan__> thanks a lot
[14:23] <Absalon> Need some help ppl! :)
[14:23] <obiwan__> im restarting now to install dos see ya
[14:24] <v_v> obiwan__: np, it's easy to get dos installed and be bootable on an usb stick
[14:25] <ruan> it says connection refused on canyouseeme.com
[14:26] <ruan> .org
[14:26] <ruan> in fact, it refuses on all ports.
[14:27] <ruan> therefore the site is incorrect
[14:27] <ruan> because i port forwarded 411
[14:27] <ruan> and connecting to 411 times out
[14:28] <coz_> ruan,  I am not getting timed out here with that link :(
[14:29] <ruan> i dont get timed out either
[14:29] <ruan> i get connection refused on _all_ ports
[14:29] <coz_> ruan,  however it does say that   canyouseeme.com is for sale
[14:29] <coz_> ruan,  oh!!
[14:29] <ruan> its canyouseeme.org
[14:29] <Absalon> Need some help connecting to my WD sharespace in Ubuntu, anyone?
[14:29] <coz_> ruan,  right  it says its for sale
[14:29] <Taev> hey I've got a question, I'm running a web server off my ubuntu box, now i know this isn't technically an ubuntu question as it is an apache question, but sometimes when i view a particular page several times, it ll view, view, then Error 503 Forbidden
[14:29] <Taev> can anyone explain that?
[14:30] <ruan> http://canyouseeme.org/ not for sale
[14:30] <coz_> ruan,  now it does not say that?  I am confused :)
[14:30] <ruan> lol
[14:30] <v_v> Taev: interesting, check your apache logs
[14:30] <ruan> anyway, i've port forwarded 411 for UDP and TCP
[14:30] <ruan> and it times out
[14:31] <Taev> access or error log?
[14:31] <v_v> Taev: error
[14:31] <ruan> i can ping the address
[14:31] <coz_> ruan,  I can tell you I am the last person to deal with network stuff,, however if no one here can help try the ##Linux channel,,,make sure you name is registered first
[14:31] <ruan> ok
[14:31] <Taev> [Mon Mar 21 10:28:23 2011] [error] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/mediawiki/index.php, referer: http://smokey.homelinux.net:8080/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
[14:31] <Taev> got a lot of that
[14:32] <coz_> Taev,  mm   whoa
[14:32] <Taev> i can look at a page 20 times, then all of a sudden it says 503 forbidden, then it works
[14:32] <coz_> Taev,  I am going to suggest the ##linux channel as well if no one here asweres the issue
[14:32] <ruan> hmm i'll try my local address
[14:33] <Taev> see I just brought up the page in 3 different browsers and it worked fine each time
[14:33] <ruan> wait...
[14:33] <ruan> what
[14:33] <Taev> i also had several people outside my network hit it, and it displayed fine
[14:33] <ruan> if i run ssh -p 411 <IP_ADDRESS> it connects to itself
[14:34] <ruan> wait nevermind
[14:34] <ruan> it tries to connect with the local computer's name
[14:34] <ruan> successful ssh!
[14:35] <stevecam> Where can I find packages for nvidia drivers?
[14:35] <coz_> stevecam,   under system/administration/ additional drivers
[14:35] <juk> !find nvidia-common
[14:36] <juk> !find nvidia-current
[14:36] <coz_> stevecam,  which card do you have?    lspci | grep -i vga
[14:36] <ruan> !info nvidia-current
[14:36] <stevecam> i have the FX
[14:37] <juk> ruan: ;)
[14:38] <ruan> had to use ssh to do file operations while someone else is using the computer
[14:39] <lil_pete> hey guys i got a running 10.04 system that acts strangely when unplugging + replugging devices (they wont work / be recognized any more)... is there anybody who can look at that issue (maybe some udev-experts) ? :)
[14:40] <lderui> ??
[14:41] <juk> lil_pete: pastebin dmesg
[14:41] <lderui> 好
[14:41] <johnernaut> Hi everyone, are there known issues with the top status bar of 10.10?  Like icons overlapping and stuff?
[14:41] <lil_pete> juk: one moment, please... gotta get the file from the (tablet) computer first...
[14:41] <copa> why is this pastebin and why it is used
[14:42] <juk> lil_pete: take your time...
[14:42] <copa> what is there ti paste
[14:42] <copa> is something like git,svn etc
[14:42] <DJones> !pastebin | copa
[14:42] <copa> it is cool
[14:43] <lil_pete> and handy if you try to paste several dozens of lines in irc ;)
[14:43] <pop> hello
[14:43] <pop> ?
[14:44] <johnernaut> anyone else experience icons overlapping in the top right status bar for no reason?
[14:44] <leowcj> hi all
[14:45] <copa> all is needed is to sign up pop and thats it right
[14:45] <Dynamicist> hi guys.  what's the simplest way to set up a flash/flex IDE?
[14:46] <copa> use eclipse pliugin
[14:46] <copa> for flex
[14:46] <copa> it will be the easiest i guess
[14:46] <johnernaut> i wish itunes supported ubuntu >.<
[14:47] <stevecam> coz_, ahh, i also see other packages with nvidia-123, i should of just search nvidia in the first place
[14:47] <Note-book> my KDE screensaver wont start :(
[14:47] <monotux> johnernaut: you should try amarok or the gnome copy :)
[14:47] <juk> !wishlist
[14:47] <johnernaut> I know, they work fine.  I just prefer itunes :/
[14:47] <Dynamicist> copa, it's really that simple?  damn.  i must've misread something and needlessly gave myself a headache
[14:48] <coz_> stevecam,  mm did you see the nvidia-current driver t here?
[14:48] <stevecam> coz_, yes, but i am installing nvidia-173, i have a geforce FX 5200
[14:49] <Zetashift> Were do I get the drivers for my ALC880(atm I have no sound at all), I find the wiki quite confusing, do I need to download ALSA or a seperate driver from Realtek?
[14:49] <copa> dynamicist i have fried my brains with git so pastebin is easy even i am trying it for the first tiem
[14:49] <copa> *time
[14:49] <coz_> stephaaan,  ah ok,,, that driver should be fine.. i dont recall any real major issues with it
[14:49] <monotux> johnernaut: it took me quite some time to feel comfortable with itunes after using amarok for a long time, altho iTunes grows a bit on you
[14:50] <lil_pete> juk: dmesg is flooded with useless messages from crappy ethernet-drivers... gotta reboot to get a "clean" dmesg... im on it. :)
[14:50] <stevecam> i am now going to reboot
[14:50] <juk> lil_pete: ugh
[14:50] <johnernaut> monotux: yeah it does
[14:51] <johnernaut> Hey guys, what do you think is the most light-weight yet well-documented distro of linux?  I like Ubuntu but it seems a bit bloated and 'windows-ish.'
[14:51] <monotux> esp since they made those vertical scroll-lists default, I think they're awesome
[14:51] <johnernaut> I've heard good things about opensuse
[14:51] <monotux> gah, don't talk about itunes and then about 'bloated' distros :p
[14:51] <Silivrenion> hi, I installed mailutils, and tried sending an email to my gmail account, and got an error that sending to remote domains isn't allowed. how can I send to remote domains from the terminal?
[14:51] <johnernaut> LOL, yeah i know right
[14:51] <monotux> I use Arch Linux, it has some good forums and a great wiki
[14:52] <johnernaut> basically I only want to use linux for development, everything else I'm not worried about
[14:52] <monotux> it's a bit more old school (which isn't always a good thing) than debian and it's siblings
[14:52] <johnernaut> I see
[14:52] <llutz> !minimal | johnernaut use this to install just what you need
[14:52] <Note-book> anyone?
[14:52] <johnernaut> 0.o cool beans
[14:53] <monotux> I run it on my netbook and I'm really happy with it, ubuntu was a bit buggy with my wireless setup
[14:53] <Note-book> my KDE screensaver wont start despite the fact that I have ticked the AUTOMATICALLY start button
[14:53] <johnernaut> ubuntu has been a bit buggy on my regular laptop as well...
[14:53] <johnernaut> not sure why
[14:53] <johnernaut> some of the icons in the top right status bar merge together sometimes
[14:54] <monotux> that isn't ubuntu bugging, it's probably GNOME
[14:54] <monotux> and most distros out there ship with GNOME
[14:54] <johnernaut> is there a gnome free version?
[14:54] <johnernaut> well, i guess not
[14:54] <monotux> of what?
[14:54] <llutz> !kubuntu
[14:54] <lil_pete> juk: sent you private message
[14:54] <johnernaut> not kubuntu lol
[14:55] <monotux> kubuntu, xubuntu and I guess there's a version for fluxbox too
[14:55] <zth> trying to use pulseaudio with cinelerra on ubuntu 10.04 (using esound driver and port 7007) crashes the program, is there any fix for this?
[14:55] <johnernaut> maybe I'm looking for something that's too old-school
[14:55] <johnernaut> probably the wrong path
[14:55] <johnernaut> I do like ubuntu so far though
[14:55] <llutz> johnernaut: probably you just don't know what you want
[14:56] <johnernaut> ^ yes
[14:56] <DrPoO> How do i add a directory to the system path?? (for every user) is it /etc/profile?
[14:56] <johnernaut> Probably a fair statement considering I have macs, pc's, and now ubuntu.  Yet I'm not satisfied completely
[14:56] <johnernaut> I have to use all 3 to get what I want
[14:56] <shesek> Can I get emacs to work in console by default, instead of adding the -nw parameters every time ?
[14:56] <lil_pete> DrPoO: edit /etc/bash.bashrc, add a line PATH= something (google) and another line export PATH
[14:57] <tobis> Hi !
[14:57] <coz_> shesek,  you might want to ask in #emacs
[14:57] <copa> hi all
[14:57] <te> lil_pete: He's talking about a directory...
[14:57] <DrPoO> lil_pete, thnx... Once modified do i need to restart to activate it?
[14:58] <te> johnernaut: What exactly are you wanting  to do?
[14:58] <lil_pete> yeah, he needs to run binaries in a dir doesnt he?
[14:58] <monotux> shesek: why would you want to run emacs in the console? :/
[14:58] <johnernaut> well, i use the mac primarily for design and multimedia.  I use windows for .net development, and I'm looking at ubuntu primarily for cross-platform development
[14:58] <lil_pete> DrPoO: you need to re-start the bash, not the whole system
[14:58] <te> I dono.... maybe I'm not understanding properly.
[14:59] <johnernaut> although cross-platform development is new to me
[14:59] <johnernaut> it's also hard to beat visual studio's debugging capabilities
[14:59] <johnernaut> although it's not the best IDE as a whole
[14:59] <coz_> johnernaut,  well it should be easily done with ubuntu... although  I would not use mac for multimedia,,, my opinion,, but a bit outdated
[14:59] <lil_pete> DrPoO: PATH=$PATH:/my/custom/dir
[15:00] <lil_pete> DrPoO: export PATH
[15:00] <tobis> I looking for someone who have some knowledge on scripting and rc process
[15:00] <lil_pete> DrPoO: that should do. :)
[15:00] <DrPoO> lil_pete, thnx
[15:00] <johnernaut> I know there are tools like GIMP, etc for ubuntu.  I think I'm just too lazy to give up photoshop...
[15:00] <coz_> tobier,  you may get additional input on those in the ##linux channel as well
[15:00] <coz_> johnernaut,  that I understand :)
[15:00] <johnernaut> :P
[15:01] <monotux> johnernaut: don't let anyone fool you into thinking that GIMP is anything near as good as photoshop. that's a outright lie.
[15:01] <johnernaut> hah yeah that's what I hear
[15:01] <coz_> johnernaut,  however,,, as much as I love photoshop,,, I have found gimp to be just as reliable but then I have moved over to maily svg format
[15:01] <lil_pete> so... anybody who can  debug udev / usb-hotplugging?
[15:01] <monotux> coz_: ever tried to open a 16 bit image in gimp? ;)
[15:01] <johnernaut> I'm hoping svg's will be the new png for the web
[15:01] <coz_> monotux,  no not yet :)
[15:02] <coz_> monotux,  going  to test now
[15:02] <johnernaut> *COMPUTER EXPLOADZ*
[15:02] <shesek> monotux, I'm used to it... I don
[15:02] <shesek> monotux, I'm used to it... I don't really like the graphical version
[15:02] <monotux> ever tried to make non-destructive editing with like curves/levels?
[15:02] <shesek> coz_, will do, thanks
[15:02] <johnernaut> What happens with curves/levels?
[15:03] <monotux> shesek: don't fall into the "oh my terminal is soooo haxxy and cool", you miss out on a lot if you ditch the GUI emacs (:
[15:03] <monotux> johnernaut: do you use adjustment layers in photoshop?
[15:03] <johnernaut> yes
[15:03] <johnernaut> are they similar in gimp?
[15:03] <monotux> no
[15:04] <johnernaut> bummer
[15:04] <monotux> last time I checked they weren't even there
[15:04] <Dannyd> can i send issue the telnet command with username and password specified?
[15:04] <johnernaut> 0.o
[15:04] <monotux> ...in gimp
[15:04] <johnernaut> bigger bummer
[15:04] <coz_> johnernaut,  there are plans for adjustment layers
[15:05] <johnernaut> even then, i'm sure it won't be close to the functionality of photoshops
[15:05] <monotux> there were plans for duke nukem forever too :)
[15:05] <sipior> Dannyd: username yes, password no. you don't really want to use telnet, do you? It's not 1989...
[15:05] <coz_> johnernaut,   photoshop is the premiere photo editing application ... it can beinstalled via wine on ubuntu  not sure about cs5 though
[15:06] <johnernaut> Yeah, I think only cs3 is supported via wine right now, I may be wrong
[15:06] <LordXe-gnu> In my /etc/network/interfaces file I've defined several static IP configs for my interfaces.  The one for eth1 contains this line "post-up ip addr add <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev eth1" but afterward if I "ip -4 addr list dev eth1" the address is not listed (only the first address, specified using "address" is). If I run the command manually, it works. Any ideas?
[15:06] <shesek> monotux, it seems like it has about the same functionality, doesn't it?
[15:06] <Dannyd> but i can only login into the ethernetswitch using telnet
[15:06] <monotux> coz_: yes, but using it in wine introduces a constant risk of having photoshop crash before you save your changes :)
[15:06] <sipior> Dannyd: fair enough :-)
[15:06] <coz_> monotux,  agreed
[15:07] <sipior> Dannyd: most of them have web access now; this an older model?
[15:07] <johnernaut> not only that but doesn't wine with most programs use up a huge amount of resources?
[15:07] <Dynamicist> thanks, copa
[15:07] <cache_surplus> Morning
[15:07] <monotux> shesek: try to use more than 8 colors (that can be fixed), try to resize your buffers, try to quickly view a pdf or a image in the console :)
[15:07] <johnernaut> like running a vm almost?
[15:07] <Dannyd> im trying to script it using expect..but the interface is really tough to write something for?
[15:07] <te> LordXe-gnu: What exactly are you trying to do?
[15:07] <LordXe-gnu> te, configure a 2nd IP address on eth1
[15:07] <Dannyd> How do i pass <tab> using expect?
[15:07] <coz_> constand pressure on Adobe may bet it ported which shouldnt be hard since it is already on mac
[15:08] <johnernaut> agreed
[15:08] <monotux> shesek: those are things I use quite frequently (:
[15:08] <johnernaut> I'm sure they will, especially as ubuntu grows
[15:08] <te> LordXe-gnu: Using an alias ?
[15:08] <monotux> I've heard that talk since I began with linux, in 2003
[15:08] <LordXe-gnu> te, an alias?
[15:09] <te> LordXe-gnu: Yea, and alias. That sounds like what you really want. i.e. eth1.0
[15:09] <monotux> I think it's highly unlikely that the CS-suite will ever be introduced in linux (:
[15:09] <johnernaut> That's unfortunate
[15:09] <xangua> !ot
[15:09] <juk> :X
[15:09] <LordXe-gnu> te, i.e. create a vlan interface with vlan id 0?
[15:10] <mtlife> until linux has a userbase larger then 1% (or whatever it is now) of the market, it will never be ported
[15:10] <nibbler_> hi there. i'm getting crazy with this one. my laptop is in a specific state, harddisk-wise. no matter what i do, after a reboot its back to exactly this state. i install software using aptitude or synaptic, after reboot its gone. i touch/echo-into a file, validate it, sync it, reboot -> gone. i booted from cd, mounted the encrypted / and removed the "discard" option in fstab (ssd- specific, i suspected it to be responsible), synced, reboot - i
[15:10] <nibbler_> ts all back to old version. system works perfectly stable besides this, discs are all mounted rw
[15:10] <johnernaut> i think the mac will slowly start to become the new windows
[15:10] <te> LordXe-gnu: What exactly are you trying to do?
[15:11] <LordXe-gnu> te, just configure a secondary IP address on the interfaces, so that I can bind to whichever I need
[15:11] <LordXe-gnu> te, the config works, just can't figure out why I can't make it get configured inside of /etc/network/interfaces
[15:12] <semitones> Hey I'm trying to persuade my old P3 computer to boot from USB -- is ARMD-FDD the appropriate option to boot first?
[15:12] <te> LordXe-gnu: It would be something like this: sudo ifconfig eth0:0 <IP_ADDRESS> up
[15:12] <DrPoO> how do i prevent a program from starting at boot?
[15:12] <LordXe-gnu> te, .. I want to add it to the config *file*. I can configure it on the command line just fine
[15:12] <semitones> DrPoO, open system>preferences>startup programs and change the settings there :)
[15:12] <s3r3n1t7> LordXe-gnu, add it to /etc/network/interfaces ?
[15:13] <DrPoO> semitones, how can I do that but from the command line?
[15:13] <johnernaut> Does anyone here do any C/C++ development in Ubuntu?
[15:13] <te> LordXe-gnu: Maybe if you show us your config file. i.e. pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[15:13] <semitones> DrPoO, I don't know that, :/ sorry! someone else here might
[15:13] <LordXe-gnu> s3r3n1t7, I did,  "post-up ip addr add <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev eth1" <-- that command works fine if I enter it manually, howveer for some reason doesn't work here
[15:13] <Fuchs> johnernaut: I recommend that you ask your question instead :)
[15:13] <s3r3n1t7> johnernaut, why not ask the real question and find out?
[15:14] <s3r3n1t7> LordXe-gnu, checked logs to see what error it gives?
[15:14] <johnernaut> Ok, what IDE would you recommend (aside from codeblocks)?
[15:14] <LordXe-gnu> s3r3n1t7, no.. that's a good point. Need to figure out hiwhc log
[15:14] <johnernaut> Let it be known that I'm coming from VS...
[15:14] <LordXe-gnu> te, h/o installing pastebinit
[15:14] <Fuchs> !poll | johnernaut
[15:15] <s3r3n1t7> !ide | johnernaut
[15:15] <johnernaut> :o damn bot
[15:15] <s3r3n1t7> mind the language
[15:15] <johnernaut> Oh..
[15:15] <johnernaut> sorry
[15:15] <LordXe-gnu> te, http://slexy.org/view/s2BBhzMPvb
[15:15] <sipior> s3r3n1t7: enough with the sanctimony.
[15:16] <Fuchs> out of the ones named, eclipse, qt-creator and kdevelop would be suitable for C/C++, plus the text editors (emacs, vim, ...)
[15:16] <LordXe-gnu> hm, broadcast addr is very wrong.. need to fix that
[15:16] <s3r3n1t7> sipior, I'm not following?
[15:16] <johnernaut> well, specifically related to VS, I was just wondering which has the best (in your opinion) debugging capablities
[15:16] <semitones> how can i make my computer boot from USB? I'm in my bios now but which option?
[15:16] <sipior> s3r3n1t7: no doubt.
[15:16] <johnernaut> obviously vim and emacs wouldn't fall under that category ( I don't think )
[15:17] <Fuchs> johnernaut: eclipse, kdevelop and qt-creator have debug-possibilities, but it is up to you to decide which one is best
[15:17] <LordXe-gnu> te, s3r3n1t7 it was my goofed up config before that line... duh. Should have caught that. Thanks guys
[15:17] <mtlife> johnernaut: http://xkcd.com/378/
[15:17] <s3r3n1t7> LordXe-gnu, np
[15:17] <johnernaut> mtlife: lol @ vim vs. emacs
[15:18] <mtlife> ^^
[15:18] <SirDystic> buen dia, a ver si me pueden ayudar, borre el Gestor de Red sin querer se puede volver a cargar?
[15:18] <Fuchs> !es | SirDystic
[15:18] <johnernaut> And yes, I've actually been told 'real programmers use vim'
[15:18] <johnernaut> *slap*
[15:18] <mtlife> haha
[15:18] <mtlife> really, who uses vim anymore
[15:19] <SirDystic> sorry
[15:19] <johnernaut> mostly web developers
[15:19] <Fuchs> SirDystic: no problem
[15:19] <mtlife> im a web developer and use eclipse

[15:19] <s3r3n1t7> mtlife, johnernaut would you mind to take the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[15:19] <Fuchs> that's why usually you don't discuss which application is "the best", since it leads to discussions or even flamewars. Please use the offtopic channel
[15:19] <mtlife> :D
[15:20] <semitones> is it possible to make a cd that boots the computer from USB?
[15:20] <Squarism> can you do updates with dpkg using the package file? the .deb file that is
[15:21] <te> LordXe-gnu: Looks liked the gateway address is wrong too. (Not within the subset)
[15:21] <mtlife> semitones: search google for plop boot
[15:21] <Fuchs> Squarism: you can use dpkg -i to install .deb files, but it is not recommended and it won't take care of any dependencies
[15:21] <LordXe-gnu> te, yep. copy+paste fail :< haha
[15:21] <semitones> mtlife, ty
[15:22] <Squarism> Fuchs, if i have one version installed.. will it "overwrite" that?
[15:22] <Fuchs> Squarism: if the version is newer: yes, it will. Chances are as well that it doesn't detect that it is an already existing application and only overwrites the files,
[15:22] <semitones> mtlife, hmm have you heard of "Ultimate boot cd"?
[15:22] <Fuchs> depending on how the package has been built
[15:23] <johnernaut> ok serious question: I installed firefox 4 (release candidate), but it didn't overwrite firefox 3.  Any way to fix this?
[15:23] <amin2511> hi all , i'm havin a DVB-s card compro s500  i'm finding trobul  to make it work under ubuntu  any help please
[15:23] <mtlife> semitones: heard of it, never used it, why?
[15:23] <semitones> mtlife, it came up on the search
[15:23] <mtlife> :)
[15:23] <pikkie> ArmChairWarrior: I am back and have backed up the data. there is nothing wrong with the server drives and mdadm utility reports that the raid1 is all ok. i need the server to boot by itself and not via a live cd. how do i do that? can you or anyone else help me to accomplish that
[15:23] <semitones> and it looks like it uses plop
[15:23] <nibbler_> anyone heared of persistency problems running from an ssd (harddisk) in ubuntu? i am like in kiosk/sandbox mode :/
[15:23] <mtlife> semitones: i use plop boot manager
[15:23] <Fuchs> johnernaut: use a better package
[15:23] <Fuchs> johnernaut: or build your own
[15:23] <s3r3n1t7>  johnernaut, a beta shouldn't overwrite a RC. You can remove firefox 3 and symlink firefox to firefox 4?
[15:24] <te> LordXe-gnu: "post-up ip addr add <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev eth1" confuses me. What is that supposed to do?
[15:24] <johnernaut> Ah ok
[15:25] <LordXe-gnu> te, it just adds another IP to the interface. Basically what's happening here is that this box holds multiple IPs on the subnet, which are used for different (sets) of services.  I can determine which address is used for outbound connections using bind()
[15:25] <LordXe-gnu> te, it's a rather eccentric and unusual setup I'm aware ;) It's a testbed for some networking software
[15:26] <te> LordXe-gnu: I've just never seen something like that  b4
[15:26] <pikkie> hi all, can anyone help me to get the required files to the boot part so that ubuntu server can boot on its own and not via a llive cd?
[15:26] <v_v> ruan: have you solved  your problem ?
[15:27] <mtlife> semitones: and for system rescue operations (win or linux) i use systemrescuecd. (only used ultimate boot cd 4 windows once, to replace a motherboard and fix a blue screen error)
[15:27] <te> pikkie: You mean that grub needs to be re-configured / installed
[15:27] <pikkie> te: i think so?
[15:27] <LordXe-gnu> te, you will probably see it a lot more used with ipv6 (assuming ISPs actually give us decent blocks of IPs.. I think they're *supposed* to give out /48 and /64's). You could do something like have an address for your outbound connections and run services like sshd on a different IP so that just connecting to someone doesn't give out enough info about you to expose your services
[15:27] <pikkie> can you help me with that please
[15:28] <te> Yea
[15:28] <te> pikkie: You need to boot the cd
[15:29] <te> pikkie: And then mount the file system. Have you booted the CD yet?
[15:29] <pikkie> te: yes i did that and selected from the menu boot from the first hard disk. this is for ubuntu server
[15:30] <te> pikkie: What do you mean, "selected from the menu boot from the first hard disk"?
[15:30] <pikkie> te: how do i mount the filesystem? the server is running already.
[15:30] <te> pikkie: Well, maybe it already is mounted....
[15:30] <pikkie> te: it think so
[15:31] <te> pikkie: Need to find out where you are at on this.
[15:31] <pikkie> te: what do you need to know
[15:32] <te> pikkie: see my pm
[15:32] <pikkie> te: the server is running but only when booted with a cd, i need it to run without the cd
[15:32] <pikkie> te: what does pm mean?
[15:33] <foo-nix> .join #codeigniter
[15:33] <amin2511> any ideas ,how to make a dvb-s compro 500s to work under ubuntu .or, if ,some1 could tell me  where can i get help

[15:36] <v_v> GOMI: that depends
[15:36] <te> GOMI: Define normal.

[15:41] <fabiosilva> preciso de ajuda.
[15:41] <paw> need the last bit of help getting my broadcom to work. I have Peppermint, Ubuntu 10.10 and Vista installed. Peppermint live stick sees the broadcom wireless card, and It works. Wubi install of Ubuntu 10.04 could also see the broadcom. but.. installed Peppermint and installed Ubuntu 10.10 can not see that broadcom hardware. what can I do ?
[15:42] <landingonwater> broadcom trouble
[15:42] <landingonwater> never ending It seems.
[15:43] <landingonwater> I was thinking its related to some IRQ hickup ? But how do I fix It ?
[15:43] <rene___> mh
[15:45] <SITZ> please help me
[15:45] <jonta> pretty please
[15:45] <SITZ> my cd driver can't read any CD/DVD
[15:45] <jonta> with sugar on top
[15:45] <jonta> : )
[15:45] <SITZ> what to do ?
[15:45] <jonta> could it be broken?
[15:45] <SITZ> no, it works nice when I boot to windows
[15:46] <SITZ> doesn't read any video whenever I insert into it :(
[15:46] <bahaa> how to reinstall "apt-get autoremove" packages? (I've deleted half the system)
[15:46] <iceroot> bahaa: packages which are deleted from "apt-get autoremove" are not important, its ok to delete them
[15:46] <v_v> bahaa: lol. what's up
[15:47] <landingonwater> anyone ever experienced hardware working on live USB or Wubi, but NOT on HD install ???
[15:47] <iceroot> df -h
[15:47] <sipior> landingonwater: check to see which kernel modules are loaded when booting from your usb stick. compare that with the normal install.
[15:47] <BluesKaj> landingonwater, what hardware?
[15:47] <bahaa> iceroot, v_v: it seems the system has missmarked important packages as inimportant and made me delete them
[15:48] <iceroot> bahaa: no
[15:48] <shaneo> is it safe to remove samba4 if i dont use it
[15:48] <iceroot> bahaa: then you have used another command. apt-get autoremove is harmless
[15:48] <BluesKaj> shaneo, yes
[15:48] <shaneo> ok thanks
[15:48] <v_v> bahaa: i understand, sometimes it's because of the deps of the packages. usually you needn't worry about them
[15:48] <shaneo> it must be corrupted or something its been giving me a hella time
[15:49] <bahaa> iceroot, I've reviewed the history it's autoremove
[15:49] <An_Ony_Moose> I want to set up a second session as the same user on my computer that I can then access via VNC. The problem is that I need it to run at a lower resolution and with some panel options changed so I can use it via a mobile device (VNC), while retaining my normal options in the main session and the configuration files. Is this possible?
[15:49] <landingonwater> BluesKaj: ITs a broadcom wireless card. I thought I had a software problem, but... wubi install of Ubuntu 10.04 and Peppermint life USB could see the wireless internal card. HD install of Ubuntu 10.10 and Peppermint see nothing
[15:49] <BluesKaj> shaneo, just regular samba should work
[15:49] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot : I always use it but this time it's different
[15:49] <iceroot> bahaa: trust me, autoremove is just removing packages, which came because of other packages, which are removed
[15:49] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot : it has deleted totem, empathy, and many other programs :(
[15:49] <shaneo> ok
[15:50] <iceroot> bahaa: then you deleted a package before which was pulling them
[15:50] <landingonwater> BluesKaj: the Peppermint im running right now is a fresh install from USB. no updates. USB stick has wifi, HD install doesnt
[15:50] <v_v> bahaa: why not just get back whatever you what
[15:50] <v_v> te: how is it going with the pikkie ?
[15:50] <juk> lil_pete: can hotplug without using hub?
[15:50] <BluesKaj> landingonwater, you mean network manager , right . Is there an icon in the panel ?
[15:51] <dbm> What distro should i take ubuntu or xubuntu or kubuntu for my pc CPU AMD Sempron 3000+ / Graphic NX6600 LE, 1GB of Ram
[15:51] <bahaa> v_v: you've got a point of view but the problem I don't know the libs it deleted, dvds don't work any more :)
[15:51] <shaneo> are there any deps for samba4
[15:52] <v_v> bahaa: apt-get install totem ?
[15:52] <landingonwater> BluesKaj: It doesnt see the broadcom wireless card at all. so no software can help.
[15:52] <BluesKaj> dbm, any ubuntu version should work fine with those specs
[15:52] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot: should'nt be there a place where it logs what has been deleted?
[15:52] <BluesKaj> landingonwater, have you tried wicd ?
[15:52] <iceroot> bahaa: /var/log/dpkg.log i guess
[15:52] <BluesKaj> !wicd
[15:53] <BluesKaj> !info wicd
[15:53] <landingonwater> BluesKaj: wicd ??
[15:53] <bahaa> v_v, Segmentation fault :D
[15:53] <bahaa> sorry for the happy faces
[15:53] <landingonwater> BluesKaj: software is not the problem
[15:53] <BluesKaj> landingonwater, it's an alternative to the default NM for ubuntu
[15:54] <sipior> shaneo: try "apt-cache rdepends samba4"
[15:54] <v_v> bahaa: ;->
[15:55] <sipior> landingonwater: establish which driver the usb live install is using to see the card.
[15:55] <negev> hi, i want to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04 LTS but i can't find the docs, the docs i found are only for 8.04 or 9.10
[15:55] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot : I've got a huge log would it be beneficial to post it?
[15:55] <bahaa> negev, you should upgrade to 9.10 first
[15:55] <Flannel> negev: You can't upgrade directly from 9.04 to 10.04, you'll need to upgrade to 9.10 and then to 10.04.
[15:56] <BluesKaj> landingonwater, well a missing driver is definitely a software problem and how can you be so sure ?
[15:56] <bahaa> negev, it's sequential I believe
[15:56] <Lars_G> Hi all.
[15:56] <landingonwater> sipior: the Live Peppermint recognizes the broadcomcard, and offers the driver in Additional driver. same result if I use ndiswrapper. so the driver is not the issue.
[15:56]  * BluesKaj takles a break .....bbl
[15:56] <jonta> Lars_G: lars from ITG?
[15:57] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot : gedit is deleted, too
[15:57] <Lars_G> Question, doesn't kernel 2.6.32-28-generic-pae in 10.04 LTS have XEN support (to work as a DomU)? I checked the config file and it should
[15:57] <Lars_G> jonta: Nope another Lars
[15:57] <jonta> kk
[15:57] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot: I said half of the system
[15:57] <bahaa> :D
[15:57] <sipior> landingonwater: so that driver has been loaded on your ubuntu installation?
[15:57] <iceroot> bahaa: maybe you removed "ubuntu-desktop"?
[15:57] <b1lly> how come ubuntu wont detect my second monitor (it's hooked up thru a hdmi)
[15:57] <iceroot> bahaa: dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop
[15:57] <landingonwater> BluesKaj: im sure because both HD installs cant see the broadcom card at all. ealier wubi install of Ubuntu did, and Peppermint live USB does as well.
[15:58] <shaneo> whats the command to purge samba
[15:58] <iceroot> shaneo: sudo apt-get remove --purge samba (if you mean complett deinstall)
[15:58] <shaneo> yes
[15:58] <Pici> shaneo: It depends how you installed it.
[15:58] <landingonwater> sipior: the Peppermint live USB can see the broadcom hardware, so It automatically offers the broadcom driver under Additional Drivers.
[15:59] <An_Ony_Moose> I want to set up a second session as the same user on my computer that I can then access via VNC. The problem is that I need it to run at a lower resolution and with some panel options changed so I can use it via a mobile device (VNC), while retaining my normal options in the main session and the configuration files. Is this possible?
[15:59] <sipior> landingonwater: that's not what i'm asking. does the ubuntu install, that does *not* see the card, load the same driver? if not, what happens when you attempt to load it?
[15:59] <v_v> bahaa: grep -n  'autoremove'  /var/log/apt/history.log
[15:59] <v_v> bahaa: and you can see when and where you autoremoved
[15:59] <Lars_G> Question, doesn't kernel 2.6.32-28-generic-pae in 10.04 LTS have XEN support (to work as a DomU)? I checked the config file and it should, but I'm having troubles starting it.
[16:00] <sipior> landingonwater: you can display loaded kernel modules with "lsmod"
[16:00] <iceroot> Lars_G: there should be a xen-kernel
[16:00] <landingonwater> sipior: the installed Ubuntu, both 10.10 and the Peppermint, does nothing when I install the driver. They simply cant see the hardware at all.
[16:01] <sipior> landingonwater: is. the. module. loaded?
[16:01] <thauriswulfa> QUESTION: I have two gprs modems connected to internet, i want to use one of them in firefox and other one in  opera , is it possible?
[16:01] <sachael> are the LTS releases more stable/better tested for day-to-day use than non-LTS? Or is the extended support time the major difference?
[16:02] <v_v> An_Ony_Moose: that's possible, i think
[16:02] <landingonwater> sipior: lsmod shows no broadcom
[16:02] <pikkie> te: you ther
[16:02] <Salih87> Hello
[16:02] <te> thauriswulfa: Well, I suppose you could run a proxy server on one
[16:02] <te> pikkie: Yea
[16:02] <Lars_G> iceroot: there hasn't been a -xen one in a while... there's an ec2 though
[16:02] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot: the computer freezed
[16:02] <landingonwater> sipior: that is the whole mystery. wubi for some reason was able to see the card :D and the peppermint live usb
[16:02] <sipior> landingonwater: see if you can load the same module which appears in the live usb setup.
[16:02] <v_v> bahaa: why
[16:02] <pikkie> te: did you get the message
[16:03] <b1lly> 1lly
[16:03] <landingonwater> sipior: how do i load a module ?
[16:03] <sipior> landingonwater: run "lsmod" on that machine as well, and compare the list.
[16:03] <dajhorn> sachael: Most desktop users won't notice a difference.  If this is for your personal computer, just use the latest stable version.
[16:03] <sipior> landingonwater: sudo modprobe <foo>
[16:03] <landingonwater> sipior: okay.. hmm. what the <foo> ???
[16:03] <bahaa> v_v: I feel it's because half of the system isn't there
[16:03] <b1lly> anyone have any idea why ubuntu wont detect me duel monitor setup?
[16:03] <sipior> landingonwater: the name of the module :-)
[16:04] <b1lly> im working off a laptop, and the second monitor is plugged into the hdmi port
[16:04] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot : can't I undo autoremove?
[16:04] <b1lly> it works with windows but for some reason ubunut wont detec tit
[16:04] <iceroot> bahaa: no
[16:04] <iceroot> bahaa: dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop
[16:04] <sipior> landingonwater: if you want to refer to it by filename, try "sudo insmod foo.ko"
[16:04] <landingonwater> sipior: okay.. will boot the USB. be right back
[16:04] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot: I suspect the problem is I installed netbeans
[16:04] <v_v> bahaa: reinstall ubuntu-desktop should be ok
[16:04] <Salih87> Hey guys i have a general question about ubuntu do you think it drains battery so fast ?
[16:05] <cache_surplus> landingonwater: check out the man page on modprobe. to check for a mod - sudo lsmod |grep something ; to load a mod - sudo modprobe -v whatever ; to remove a mod - sudo modprobe -vr whatever
[16:06] <bahaa> v_v, iceroot : and after installation it said installation didn't go fine, so I tried "apt-get install netbeans" and it said netbeans is the newest version but suggested to autoremove about 270 MB
[16:06] <iceroot> bahaa: i told you three times to use "dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop" and to post the output
[16:06] <bahaa> iceroot, No packages found matching ubuntu-desktop.
[16:06] <tacc> hi, im having some trouble to get grub2 woring properly after installing ubuntu 10.10. during installation i dig det an error message regaring booloader why i chose to proceed without a bootloader to install that manually. i have now goten so far that when boot without live cd i get to grub but it seems like its not fins the kernel to boot. i only have ubuntu 10.10 instlled in this machine so there is no other OS to boot or to have in mi
[16:07] <sipior> Salih87: you might consider running "powertop" if you're looking to analyse where your machine is spending its energy.
[16:07] <iceroot> bahaa: you are using ubuntu?
[16:07] <bahaa> iceroot, xubuntu, but installed gnome
[16:07] <dajhorn> !grub > tacc
[16:07] <bahaa> iceroot, using gnome on top of xubuntu
[16:07] <dajhorn> tacc:  You need to reinstall the grub boot loader.  Check the link from ubottu.
[16:08] <iceroot> bahaa: without the meta-package "ubuntu-desktop" i guess
[16:08] <bahaa> iceroot, I think so, I installed "gnome-deskotp-environment"
[16:08] <Salih87> Thank you i should check because i pull my laptop from plug and it takes 15 minutes to zero
[16:09] <dajhorn> iceroot, bahaa:  try xubuntu-desktop
[16:10] <bahaa> dajhorn, I don't want xubutnu, I just use it because I couldn't install ubuntu
[16:11] <bahaa> iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: where can I show you the packages I removed today?
[16:11] <sipior> Salih87: might be the battery is dying. does it behave differently under windows, for example?
[16:11] <doors> Is it possible to configure linux to push Everything through a SOCKS proxy?
[16:12] <doors> I'd like to set up a VM at work like this
[16:12] <bahaa> iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: 2011-03-21 11:02:09 remove gnome-desktop-environment 1:2.28+1ubuntu4 <none> (is one of them)
[16:12] <Sil4nc4> doors export http_proxy ?
[16:12] <bahaa> iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: this is from dpkg.log
[16:12] <murphylan> hi
[16:13] <doors> will that work for programs that don't support a proxy well?
[16:13] <dajhorn> bahaa: Don't paste a big file here.  You'll be kicked.  Use !pastebin.
[16:13] <itilious> do i simply need "ubuntu restricted extras" to play mp3s in ubuntu?
[16:13] <bahaa> dajhorn, that's why I'm asking, ok
[16:13] <dajhorn> itilious: Yes, from medibuntu.
[16:14] <Salih87> sipior: yes my battery is dying also but windows 7 stands more than ubuntu.
[16:14] <iflema> itilious: that would be overkill...
[16:14] <itilious> dajhorn, is that different from the one in the "software center"?
[16:15] <sipior> Salih87: well, powertop will help you coax a bit more life from the dying embers :-)
[16:15] <dajhorn> itilious: ubuntu-restricted-extras is in the universe section, which is what you can see in the Software Center.  Almost everybody wants the medibuntu packages too.
[16:16] <dajhorn> itilious: (Multiverse, actually.)
[16:16] <itilious> dajhorn, so you're saying i should install "restricted extras" AND "medibuntu"?
[16:16] <dajhorn> itilious: Yes.
[16:16] <bahaa> iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: today's log : http://pastebin.com/1p03M6ew
[16:17] <itilious> what advantage do i have of having medibuntu in addition to restricted extras?
[16:17] <tacc> dajhorn: the tutorials seems to just point out howto restore them etc. I need a clean installation manual from scratch which seems hard to find.
[16:17] <fatal_ERROR7771> hello guys, I have a question, Does Linux support intel possessors as good as Nvidia + ATI ones? By saying it, I meant the feature (shadows, shaders, and so on) support.
[16:18] <ikonia> fatal_ERROR7771: do you mean graphics cards ?
[16:18] <natabioinfo> grubbb
[16:18] <ikonia> fatal_ERROR7771: if so intel has better (open) support than nvidia / ati, although the intel cards are not often as powerful
[16:18] <bahaa> iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: what about trying to install removed packges using "grep remove" on the log file?
[16:19] <bahaa> iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: so I get the removed packages?
[16:19] <Lars_G> Question, doesn't kernel 2.6.32-28-generic-pae in 10.04 LTS have XEN support (to work as a DomU)? I checked the config file and it should, but I'm having troubles starting it.
[16:19] <chinthaka> hi
[16:19] <ZZZZZZZZZZ> I want to use 1280x960 but there's no option for this.. is using 1280x1024, a 5:3 resolution, on, an, 4:3, CRT, bad, or, not? is that a screwed` up as;pect ra'ti!o?
[16:20] <mweichert> hello, can someone explain me what happens behind the scenes when I do "dig hostname.example.com"? My understanding was that a lookup was done against /etc/hosts, and then if not available, did a DNS lookup using /etc/resolv.conf - but that doesn't appear to be so
[16:20] <dajhorn> bahaa: Icroot gave you correct advice earlier.  Install the ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop package.  It will take a long time to manually restore.
[16:20] <ikonia> mweichert: it looks at the internet first
[16:20] <mweichert> ikonia: well, /etc/hosts will always override
[16:20] <bahaa> dajhorn, but doesn't it take longer to download?
[16:20] <ikonia> mweichert: not with dig
[16:21] <sipior> mweichert: no, have a look at /etc/nsswitch.conf.
[16:21] <Pumpkin-> mweichert: dig is a DNS debugging tool. It doesn't look at /etc/hosts. That is different from most other application behaviour though, when it will look at things in the order given in nsswitch.conf
[16:21] <bahaa> dajhorn, are'nt the deleted packages already downloaded?
[16:21] <delac> I'm messing around with icon sets in ubuntu and wondering what kind of links they use? I mean, they seem like absolute symlinks, but I'm able to copy a whole icon set to another location and the links still work. But they dont seem to be hard links either. Does anyone know how those links are made?
[16:21] <dajhorn> tacc: Reinstalling the boot loader is mostly the same thing as installing it fresh.  You just overwrite what is already there.
[16:21] <Pumpkin-> well if you do dig @someserver foo, it will use /etc/hosts for @someserver, but not for foo.
[16:21] <mweichert> sipior: hosts: files dns - wouldn't that mean, /etc/hosts, and then nslookup via /etc/resolv.conf?
[16:22] <ikonia> Pumpkin-: it will not,
[16:22] <fatal_ERROR7771> ikonia: Thank you for a reply. I'm planning to buy a new PC with a ubuntu/ windows dualboot, but I'm not sure what to choose - Nvidia, ATI, or Intel.
[16:22] <dajhorn> bahaa: If the deb files are in /var/cache/apt from an earlier install, then they are not downloaded again.  These files are deleted by an `apt-get clean`.
[16:22] <ikonia> mweichert: it queryiies dns servers only
[16:22] <ikonia> mweichert: it will use the servers in /etc/resolv.conf unless you tell it not to
[16:22] <An_Ony_Moose> v_v, and how? ;P
[16:22] <sipior> mweichert: yes, but i didn't appreciate that you were talking about dig specifically. Pumpkin- is quite correct in saying that it will ignore /etc/hosts.
[16:23] <K4k> Anyone here aware of either an application, either available or built in, that would allow me to bind a key press to tile and untile my windows?
[16:23] <dajhorn> mweichert:  /etc/hosts only overrides programs that use the nssswitch library.  Programs like nslookup usually bypass /etc/hosts entirely.
[16:23] <K4k> Using Gnome
[16:23] <sre-su> What's the difference if I install an application in /opt/ OR ~/Source/  ? One is part of /home other /, how will that affect?
[16:23] <bahaa> dajhorn, ok then I'll install ubuntu-desktop
[16:23] <osxfr33k> I need a bit of help on dekstop v10.10.  Everything installed fine on my Dell Latitude C840 but just no graphic acceleration.  I tried the recommended driver the Nvidia 96 driver which was in the drivers section of ubuntu.  It said it was nvidia 96 and was tested by the comunity so I figured it was safe.  Well I have a black screen now
[16:23] <ikonia> sre-su: no difference at all
[16:24] <sipior> sre-su: no real difference. /opt is standard, and useful if you have other users that might want to make use of it.
[16:24] <Pumpkin-> ikonia: it does, well, "dig @moofishcowhamster www.google.com" works, and I don't see it managing to look that up in DNS :)
[16:24] <ikonia> Pumpkin-: because your telling it what to use
[16:24] <bahaa> dajhorn, said it'll get 142/142 MB
[16:24] <osxfr33k> What steps do I need to take to recover this?  The CD does not have a repair or recovery mode
[16:24] <Pumpkin-> yes, I'm telling it to use moofishcowhamster, which is in /etc/hosts
[16:25] <Pumpkin-> you are saying it won't look in /etc/hosts for that
[16:25] <Pumpkin-> which means moofishcowhamster. must have an A or an AAAA record :)
[16:25] <sipior> Pumpkin-: dig will tell you which server it got an answer from. what was the response?
[16:25] <ikonia> Pumpkin-: it will try dns first
[16:25] <tacc> dajhorn: well I may be unusual confused but the thing is that i cant find the files that the tutorial refer to for example, boot/grub/grub.cfg - that file doesnt exist ? Seems strange
[16:26] <eliezer> wihc one of the keyboard options give me the alt 164-165 for a latin letter ?
[16:26] <dajhorn> tacc:  chroot into the broken system and run `update-grub`.
[16:27] <dajhorn> tacc: The update-grub helper recreates the grub.cfg file.  You should have several *.mod files in /boot/grub too.  If you don't, then copy them from /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc.
[16:27] <Pumpkin-> sipior: from <IP_ADDRESS> (/etc/hosts contains "<IP_ADDRESS> moofishcowhamster")
[16:27] <nautiled> hello ... How can I reset all file type assotiations?  now everytime I Open gnome shortcuts it opens audacious!
[16:27] <nautiled> what the hell
[16:27] <Pumpkin-> if I change that, dig looks at different servers
[16:27] <tacotron> hey guys.. i have a problem. My ubuntu system just SPAZZED OUT. My touchpad stopped working, random terminal windows were opening and it was pasting in the string ":Android" multiple times.. anyone got an idea what this is about?
[16:27] <tacc> dajhorn: ok, great! ill try that
[16:28] <poop> is 1280x1024, a 5:3 resolution, a stupid idea on a 4:3 crt
[16:29] <poop> i can do 1280x960 on Windows 7 but there's no option here on Ubuntu
[16:29] <sipior> Pumpkin-: interesting! it must use the system resolver for the actual server to query.
[16:29] <fatal_ERROR7771> I've got another question: Is there any way to terminate (kill) a program (game) in a fullscreen mode?
[16:30] <tacotron> poop: you could just modify your xorg.conf to add that mode in
[16:30] <nautiled> ok i just deleted~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and mimeinfo.cache
[16:30] <delac> OK, let's phrase it in another way: How do I make relative links that survive if the folder structure is moved to another location?
[16:30] <tacotron> fatal_ERROR7771: you could setup a key combination to kill the "window" that currently has focus
[16:30] <Pumpkin-> sipior: yeah :). It kinda makes sense, but it also confuses people sometimes.
[16:30] <poop> tacotron, it's usually in /etc/X11/etc.conf or something but its not there..
[16:30] <tacotron> poop: its xorg.conf, not etc.conf
[16:31] <tacotron> poop: however, ubuntu a while back decided to control X on its own without user interaction
[16:31] <fatal_ERROR7771> tacotron: thanks, I'll try it during another gameplay
[16:31] <tacotron> certainly
[16:31] <sipior> Pumpkin-: makes sense if the server you want to query is not itself in the dns (i guess it could happen)
[16:32] <eliezer> sera que necesito bajar el paquete de language-pack-es para poder escribir la enie o usar alt 164 y alt 165
[16:33] <mwnn> why aren't DejaVu fonts listed in xfontsel?
[16:33] <poop> tacotron, i meant xorg.conf, it's not in there, how do i edit it
[16:34] <Luis123456789> sdfopaspasiopdfas
[16:34] <esing123> how do I find out my pcbk and htcp mac adresse?  I can only find the hardware mac adresse of eth0 with ifconfig
[16:35] <tacotron> poop: i know its not, you need to create one, then edit it

[16:36] <Abhijit> hi
[16:36] <Abhijit> is there any other way to refresh the application menu other than loggin off and login back?
[16:37] <Abhijit> is there any monopoly game for linux? in that monopoly game we do some business? buy sale places, hotels etc?
[16:37] <Abhijit> help?
[16:37] <Pumpkin-> esing123: I've got a feeling you don't quite understand the question you are asking. What are you trying to do ?
[16:38] <sachael> which is the better broadcom driver on ubuntu - STA or B43?
[16:38] <dajhorn> Abhijit: If you edit the menu using a supported tool like `alacarte`, then the menu should be refreshed.
[16:39] <sebastian_> chepi!
[16:39] <Luis123456789> ke wea
[16:39] <Abhijit> dajhorn, no some comaand kline way? ot keyboard shortcut?
[16:40] <esing123> Pumpkin- how should I not understand my own question?  I think you are looking at " http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_set_up_Wake-On-Lan_%28Ubuntu%29 " and are looking for pcbk and hptc mac addresses, beacuse that document has pcbk and htpc followed by mac addresses.
[16:42] <osxfr33k> Is there Graphics acceleration support for NV Geofroce4Go 64 MB NV17?
[16:42] <esing123> Pumpkin- Exactly
[16:42] <osxfr33k> If so which driver is safe to install on meerkat 10.10 please
[16:42] <esing123> Pumpkin- I understand my own question. But I did not understand what pcbk and hptc is
[16:43] <esing123> Pumpkin- So I dont know what to insert there . I only know how to find my hardware mac adresse
[16:43] <fission6> is there a free pdf editor for ubunut?
[16:44] <b1lly> is there a way to restart ubuntu thru the terminal
[16:44] <Pumpkin-> esing123: again, what are you trying to do. Do you want to use your ubuntu box to wake up another box ?. Or do you want something to wake up your ubuntu box ?
[16:44] <ortholle> Hi all, how do you turn off the notify in gnome irc ?
[16:44] <Ale123456> wenas
[16:44] <sebastian_> nonono
[16:44] <Ale123456> sisisisisis
[16:44] <sebastian_> KILL TO OBAMA!!!!!!!
[16:45] <guntbert> b1lly: sudo reboot              would cause a reboot
[16:45] <erUSUL> !es | Ale123456
[16:45] <dajhorn> fission6:  Try the pdftk and pdfedit packages.
[16:45] <guntbert> sebastian_: stop
[16:45] <fission6> ok thanks dajhorn
[16:45] <esing123> Pumpkin- I want to wake up my ubuntu by my windows so I wont need this script :) Sorry for bothering you I made a mistake I have a package sender already on windows
[16:45] <dajhorn> fission6: Welcome.
[16:45] <Pumpkin-> esing123: :)
[16:45] <Ale123456> kill to piraña!!!
[16:45] <IdleOne> Ale123456: please stop
[16:46] <osxfr33k> This looks like a problem in Maverick XOrg's version
[16:46] <Abhijit> is there any monopoly game for linux? in that monopoly game we do some business? buy sale places, hotels etc?
[16:46] <Abhijit> is there any other way to refresh the application menu other than loggin off and login back?
[16:46] <Ale123456> im sorry
[16:46] <IdleOne> Abhijit: killall gnome-panel will restart it
[16:47] <Ale123456> now, im well?
[16:47] <Abhijit> IdleOne, ok
[16:47] <IdleOne> Abhijit: gtkatlantic is a monoipoly game
[16:47] <IdleOne> -i
[16:48] <delac> How do I make relative links that survive if the folder structure is moved to another location?
[16:48] <Abhijit> IdleOne, its description read that its game LIKE monopoly & not monopoly
[16:48] <sebastian> bi
[16:48] <Abhijit> but ok i installed it now IdleOne
[16:49] <sebastian> come here
[16:49] <IdleOne> Abhijit: monopoly is not open source so no you won't get the exact game
[16:49] <Abhijit> IdleOne, ok
[16:49] <tolland_> is it policy for ubuntu to just use the whole available hard disk with the current installer?
[16:49] <Ale123456> hello
[16:49] <GeekyAdam> hi all
[16:50] <dajhorn> tolland_: It is the default.   But if I use absolute paths (that begins from root) it wont work. However the icons in /usr/share/icons seem to do exactly that but still work even if I copy the iconset somewhere else. Can you explain that?
[16:53] <capntrade> !ops
[16:53] <jpds> capntrade: Hi.
[16:53] <Pici> capntrade: stop that.
[16:53] <IdleOne> capntrade: stop please
[16:53] <capntrade> pici: are you sure?
[16:53] <capntrade> hi
[16:53] <capntrade> !ops
[16:53] <FloodBot1> capntrade: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:53] <ThePro> Quick question.
[16:53] <ThePro> Wubi or no wubi?
[16:54] <IdleOne> no wubi
[16:54] <fission6> dajhorn , i got pdfeditor but i cant figure out how to edit text
[16:55] <guntbert> delac: which ones ?
[16:55] <dajhorn> fission6: Editing a PDF is a lot harder than you might think.  You'll just need to experiment.
[16:55] <delac> guntbert: which iconsets? all of them.
[16:55] <fission6> dajhorn, agreed, i am convertng to a word document, then back to pdf
[16:55] <pankaj_sharma> there are some convertors available on the internet.... freeware
[16:56] <IdleOne> try pdfedit
[16:56] <delac> guntbert: for example copy the humanity iconset to ~/.icons and notice how the links are automatically updated
[16:57] <delac> guntbert: I would like to know how that happends
[16:57] <Dinzy> hello all
[16:57] <guntbert> delac: I'm not familiar with that structure, and I see only relative links there
[16:57] <no_gooder> hey guys i need get write permission for  /usr/local/lib/node/now/examples folder. can somebody help please?
[16:58] <guntbert> delac: I have a directory Humanity...
[16:59] <delac> guntbert: only relative? doesnt it say in the properties that e.g. "/usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/24", which is absolute path
[16:59] <inckie> i just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a Asus FS3e laptop, but the image is kinda bouncing, and som lines flashing on the screen.
[17:00] <fission6> no_gooder, sudo chmod o+w /path/to/file
[17:00] <delac> guntbert: uh, make that Location:  /usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/24/gnome-desktop-config.svg
[17:00] <guntbert> delac: the properties of what? /usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/24 is a directory with relative links and files inside
[17:01] <bearly230> Hey all I've got an issue with my internal mic on my laptop with ubuntu 10.10. The mic works fine until I update the system. Now it appears like the boost is gone. Any suggestions?
[17:01] <delac> guntbert: the link file that has the above mentioned location is /usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/24/administration.svg
[17:02] <no_gooder> fission6,  it doesn't work
[17:02] <guntbert> delac: here : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2010-11-18 22:34 /usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/24/gnome-desktop-config.svg -> paprefs.svg
[17:02] <Jasonn> !mic
[17:02] <no_gooder> fission6, it doesn't give any error but doesn't work too
[17:03] <guntbert> delac: try to look from CLI, with ls -l
[17:03] <user730> Hi everyone!
[17:03] <Dinzy> Is it possible to get Flaming cursor in Ubuntu 10.10?
[17:03] <pankaj_sharma> Dinzy, yes
[17:04] <Dinzy> How to do that?pankaj
[17:04] <Dinzy> can u guide me?
[17:04] <no_gooder> fission6, i get an error something like : /usr/local/lib/node/now/examples
[17:04] <no_gooder> ,opps
[17:04] <no_gooder> operation not permitted!
[17:04] <pankaj_sharma> Dinzy, check compiz setting
[17:04] <fission6> did you do sudo?
[17:05] <no_gooder> yes
[17:05] <dusf> jpds: ty
[17:05] <delac> guntbert: yes! but odd. In Properties it shows absolute paths for those files. However when I do relative links myself (with ln -s ./some ./other), they are shown in the Properties correctly as relative paths.
[17:05] <no_gooder> fission6,   sudo chmod o+w /usr/local/lib/node/now/examples/
[17:05] <delac> guntbert: well, anyway, this solves the mystery and I can do the links that way. Thank you!
[17:05] <chinthaka> I tried installing mysql server. It processed to some extent and gave an error message saying " Connection failed

[17:07] <Dinzy> Where can i find compiz? pankaj bhai
[17:08] <delac> guntbert: Yes. That indeed. And yes, it seems to do some selective translating...
[17:08] <porin> I'm trying use wubi and it goes through the install asks me to reboot but when I reboot and choose ubuntu it keeps saying it can't find the installation.iso I can see it in the directory with all the other wubi stuff, is it because it isn't on my c:\?  or did i do something else wrong?
[17:08] <KolakCC> oCean: Yessir, will do
[17:08] <chinthaka> Isn't there anyone to help me please?
[17:08] <AnubArack> What was the sudo equivalent for launching apps ? (let's say nautilus)
[17:08] <oCean> Dinzy: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz
[17:08] <DJones> AnubArack: gksudo nautilus etc
[17:09] <AnubArack> DJones, right, thanks
[17:09] <guntbert> delac: kind of "let me take you by the hand and guess what you want"  :-)
[17:09] <DJones> AnubArack: gksudo is for launching any graphical app's
[17:10] <AnubArack> DJones, yeah,have not used it in a long time so i forgot it
[17:10] <themoebius_> So lets say I accidentally did tar -czvf * some_file. So it seems to have overwritten every file in the current directory with the tarred version of itself.... is there any way to recover?
[17:10] <user730> Someone here has already got a squid auth in an "AD" in Win2003?
[17:11] <sacarlson> chinthaka: that seems to work from here but maybe you should try another mirror site in synaptic or /etc/apt/
[17:13] <Zetashift> When installing Realtek's linux sound drivers , the terminal gives me bash: Permission denied when I enter ./install
[17:13] <sacarlson> themoebius_: it's not hard to recover a file if you just deleted it but when you write over it, it's much less lickly to recover
[17:13] <lil_pete> Zetashift: try $sudo ./install
[17:13] <chinthaka> sacarlson:That means I have to try from another mirror to install it.
[17:13] <sacarlson> chinthaka: yes I like japan
[17:14] <chinthaka> ok thank you very much
[17:14] <Zetashift> lil_pete: gives me same error :(
[17:14] <lil_pete> Zetashift: is the file executable?
[17:14] <lil_pete> Zetashift: try $chmod +x install
[17:15] <lil_pete> Zetashift: or maybe $sudo chmod +x install && sudo ./install
[17:15] <Zetashift> lil_pete nope, still same error :(
[17:16] <lil_pete> hhmmm?
[17:16] <Zetashift> btw sudo ./install gives a error

[17:18] <lil_pete> Zetashift: see private chat message
[17:18] <jt13> billy what type of connection to the second monitor?
[17:18] <b1lly> when I choose a different type of visual effects it does a searching for available drivers...and than reloads the screen and triggers an "desktop effects could not be enabled" error
[17:19] <jt13> billly What type of connection to the second monitor?
[17:19] <b1lly> jt13: its a hdmi output of the laptop, however it converts to a normal video
[17:19] <b1lly> dvi
[17:20] <b1lly> so the cable is a hdmi to dvi conversion, the screen supports dvi, the laptop supports hdmi
[17:20] <jt13> billy so it's hdmi to dvi? My 50" sony wega uses dvi and the only cross connection i can succsefully use is vga to dvi
[17:20] <b1lly> jt13:  it works for windows?
[17:20] <b1lly> it might be vga, whats the newer one?
[17:20] <jt13> billy hmm have you tried searching for proprietasry drivers?
[17:20] <b1lly> dvi is the newer one, im pretty sure its dvi
[17:21] <b1lly> im new to ubuntu jt so, I don't think so?
[17:21] <Krycek> hi, when i move my mouse cursor to the Ubuntu main menu button and from there clicking on accessories and move the cursor down to the arrow down on the menu it will slide so i can see the rest of the accessories BUT when i move the cursor away from the arrow it reset its self so i cant click on the application down there. yey

[17:22] <Krycek> hi, when i move my mouse cursor to the Ubuntu main menu button and from there clicking on accessories and move the cursor down to the arrow down on the menu it will slide so i can see the rest of the accessories BUT when i move the cursor away from the arrow it reset its self so i cant click on the application down there. and my resolution is 1024x600 its that small, how can I fix this?
[17:22] <b1lly> Scunizi: i went to system > admin > additional drivers
[17:23] <b1lly> and it installed it automatically
[17:23] <Scunizi> b1lly: what card do you have?
[17:23] <b1lly> thats a good question, its a laptop, i know its an nvidea i just forget the model
[17:24] <Scunizi> b1lly: sudo lshw will list all your hardware.. type that into a terminal.. then with the output look for reference to it.
[17:24] <b1lly> when i try to go into my nvidia settings its saying "Youd o not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. please edit your x configuration file (run nvidia-xconfig) as root and restart he server
[17:24] <Krycek> no one had this issue before??

[17:24] <dajhorn> bearly230: Maybe your sound was reset to default.  Click -> System -> Preferences -> Sound,  click the Input tab, and slide it past 100% again.
[17:24] <Scunizi> b1lly: ok.. then open a terminal and type "sudo nvidia-xconfig" without the quotes.
[17:25] <b1lly> done
[17:25] <b1lly> imma restart pc quick
[17:25] <Scunizi> b1lly: k
[17:25] <porin> I'm trying use wubi and it goes through the install asks me to reboot but when I reboot and choose ubuntu it keeps saying it can't find the installation.iso I can see it in the directory with all the other wubi stuff, is it because it isn't on my c:\?  or did i do something else wrong?

[17:32] <semitones> are there any known problems running ubuntu from USB using PloP (on a computer with old BIOS)?
[17:32] <chinthaka> sacarlson:I tried it with the japan server. But it also stucks after downloading 6% it stops and go to a queue
[17:32] <semitones> i'm getting strange semirandom behavior
[17:32] <b1lly> when i rebooted it sent me to the terminal window only, i didnt have my desktop, and it triggered a "no screens found" error.... so i had to reeboot and go into recovery mode and launch in graphic safe mode or something
[17:32] <sacarlson> chinthaka: must be an isp thing?
[17:33] <dajhorn> bearly230: I don't have any more ideas, and I don't see anybody complaining about the MD26 on Launchpad.
[17:33] <sacarlson> chinthaka: and when I used japan was before they had the earthquake
[17:33] <chinthaka> sacarlson:you mean my ISP issue
[17:33] <Guest54253> Do you install Plop in windows?
[17:34] <Uoxx> sup
[17:34] <bearly230> dajhorn: thanks for trying. I've tried this under 10.04 32/64 bit as well as 10.10. Mic works as long as I don't do the updates after installing.
[17:34] <Uoxx> My internet ping is way too slow, why?
[17:34] <chinthaka> sacarlson:I can download all the other packages successfully. But only this file couldn't download
[17:34] <raven> possible to configure an umts/hsdpa stick to work only on gsm?
[17:34] <Uoxx> browsing is taking forever
[17:34] <sacarlson> chinthaka: there are at least three posible things that could fail.  your ISP, your network device betweeen your ISP and the server that you try to obtain data from
[17:34] <bhavesh> nobody is replying on #ubuntu-cloud.
[17:35] <bhavesh> can I get help from anywhere else ?
[17:35] <dajhorn> bearly230: Your computer has a standard Intel HDA in it.  The next step in troubleshooting is to randomly try different modprobe options for the driver.  Open a bug if you have time.
[17:35] <chinthaka> sacarlson:Thank you very much. I will try with another ISP
[17:35] <bearly230> dajhorn: Thanks
[17:35] <dajhorn> bearly230: Welcome.  (Sorry.)
[17:36] <aaron11> Hello, I have a problem, I think I almost had a heart attack. Ubuntu has just crashed on me, I was transfering my music onto the laptop from the iphone and I just turned on my I phone and there were some errors saying there is a duplicate of such and such music. After a while error boxes with no messages came up. Now every time I boot it goes into some BusyBox thing. Can someone help me get my work back?
[17:36] <bhavesh> can I get help from anywhere else regarding UEC ?
[17:36] <Uoxx> I have a windows installation on this same box, and internet is fine.. on linux... its slow
[17:36] <Uoxx> All hardware is the same

[17:37] <porin> I'm trying use wubi and it goes through the install asks me to reboot but when I reboot and choose ubuntu it keeps saying it can't find the installation.iso I can see it in the directory with all the other wubi stuff, is it because it isn't on my c:\?  or did i do something else wrong?
[17:37] <badnessbj> Anyone have a way to disable hardware acceleration for Adobe Flash?
[17:37] <te> Uoxx: What speed test site are you using?
[17:38] <An_Ony_Moose> I want to set up a second session as the same user on my computer that I can then access via VNC. The problem is that I need it to run at a lower resolution and with some panel options changed so I can use it via a mobile device (VNC), while retaining my normal options in the main session and the configuration files. Is this possible, and if yes, how?
[17:38] <te> Uoxx: Or how are you testing speed?
[17:38] <Daelomin> Hi! Anyone know the release date of the Natty RC ?
[17:38] <aeon-ltd> !natty | Daelomin
[17:38] <sacarlson> porin: I hope you don't plan to use the wubi install for any long term usage,  I has a record of failure in updates
[17:38] <Daelomin> cool beans, thanks !

[17:40] <kel39> hi, i recently just reinstalled windows 7 and now want to return to my old ubuntu version i had installed...however the w7 bootloader overwrote the grub one
[17:40] <kel39> how can i reinstall it?
[17:40] <kel39> i'm on ubuntu 10.10 livecd atm
[17:40] <Uoxx> te: if your familair with using proxies... you can think of it exactly like a really slow proxy
[17:40] <porin> sacarlson i wanted to use it to see if i liked it but i can't even get it running
[17:40] <Uoxx> te: even though I am using no proxy
[17:40] <kel39> i remember with mandriva i could just select 'restore grub bootloader'
[17:40] <Uoxx> te: its the same connection as my windows
[17:40] <te> Uoxx: The only way you will know if there is really a difference in speed is to do speed tests. Where are you located?
[17:40] <dajhorn> !grub | kel39
[17:41] <ymasory> is it safe to install from debian-multimedia on ubuntu?
[17:41] <sacarlson> porin: with graphic problems?  that has pleagued many even with the livecd version
[17:41] <Sanfrancisco> hello?
[17:41] <kel39> dajhorn: then if i had 10.10 installed, i wouldnt be using grub then?
[17:41] <te> Uoxx: You might try bypassing the proxy and do speed test.
[17:41] <eightiesk> i've been trying to burn data i recovered from a mac to a DVD but so far unsuccessfully, any ideas?
[17:41] <Sanfrancisco> Can anyone help me with some information on the Orange SanFrancisco phone please?!?!?!

[17:41] <kel39> dajhorn: if so, how do i go about restoring the other bootloader
[17:41] <Uoxx> te: OK I can do the speed test
[17:41] <porin> sacarlson no it just boots into the 'install' and fails to find the iso
[17:41] <cg> kel39, i think a simple solution is , chroot to your ubuntu, and dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
[17:41] <J450N__> guys does anyone know how i can get a DVD based linux distu onto a laptop with only CD drive??
[17:41] <te> Uoxx: I'm quite sure your asumption is incorrect.
[17:41] <Uoxx> te: how do I do it?? ALso, I have no proxy
[17:42] <dajhorn> ymasory: Use medibuntu instead of debian-multimedia.
[17:42] <te> Uoxx: Where do you live?
[17:42] <ymasory> dajhorn: thanks
[17:42] <Uoxx> te: canada
[17:42] <kel39> cg: ok, however im not too competent with the command line

[18:00] <coolmego> any 1 there
[18:01] <sacarlson> kellertron: if it resolves not sure what your problem is then,  I setup openvpn with no encryption to make sure things work before I setup keys and stuf
[18:01] <te> Uoxx:  No /etc/resolv.conf ?    What OS is installed ?
[18:01] <mongy> is there anything wrong with this partition table?  the drive/partitions work, I am just curious to what it means. http://pastebin.com/CPKKQHeA
[18:01] <Guest89035> hola chaimae
[18:01] <alumno> hola david
[18:01] <coolmego> hey some body can tell me d difference between shell and dos
[18:01] <coolmego> ???
[18:01] <te> Uoxx: pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf
[18:01] <abahkaiyisah> sacarlson: is it a problem if, the is a modem dhcp server in the same switch
[18:01] <Guest89035> sfsfs
[18:01] <maco> coolmego: DOS is a 20-something-year-old operating system microsoft bought
[18:01] <te> Uoxx: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[18:01] <idky> coolmego: bash is way cooler than dos. But it is kinda the same idea
[18:01] <Guest89035> identify integral
[18:01] <alumno> como te va en el curso

[18:02] <Guest89035> xD
[18:02] <maco> !es | Guest89035
[18:02] <alumno> asi
[18:02] <alumno> vaya
[18:02] <sacarlson> abahkaiyisah: yes I disable my adsl router dhcp so that my ubuntu is the only place to get an address
[18:02] <Uoxx_> see, I got ko'd from here
[18:02] <cavefish> there are far more good programs for bash like iftop, htop, irssi, centerim, mysql etc...
[18:03] <maco> alumno: #ubuntu-es
[18:03] <kel39> hmm
[18:03] <kel39> dont work
[18:03] <kel39> any other ways to restore grub2?
[18:03] <kel39> i cant mount /dev
[18:03] <ruan> i can only connect to my ssh server using my LAN ip, not my external internet ip. how can i connect with my external ip?
[18:03] <ruan> port is forwarded
[18:03] <Uoxx_> sacarlson: did you do any other configurations for your Ralink
[18:04] <sacarlson> kel39:  this is the oneliner method: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice
[18:04] <cavefish> ruan, simply by connecting to the external IP
[18:04] <raven_> possible to configure a surfstick to work only on gprs?
[18:05] <zhaz> anybody have experiance using virtualbox windows 7 as guest ?? why my NAT or Other Networking(host) on windows 7 fail.... but with XP fine
[18:05] <sacarlson> Uoxx_: back in ubuntu 8.04 I had to compile drivers but at 10.04 they both work find for rt73 driver
[18:05] <kel39> would this be right? sudo mount /dev/sdc5 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdc
[18:06] <sacarlson> Uoxx_: oh as far as configuration there seems to be many that have problems with network-manager when used with wpa encryption
[18:06] <abahkaiyisah> sacarlson: i cannot log in to the modem and the modem should not be down. is there any other alternatives?
[18:06] <sacarlson> Uoxx_:  you might try wpa-supplicant or wicd or wpa-gui that use it
[18:06] <Uoxx_> sacarlson: ahh
[18:06] <Uoxx_> sacarlson: with the ralinks?
[18:07] <ruan> cavefish: when i try that, it times out
[18:07] <sacarlson> abahkaiyisah: can you ping the modem?  are you even on the same ip mask as the modem?
[18:07] <te> Uoxx: Turn off encryption and try it.
[18:07] <Uoxx_> sacarlson: but IM connected fine here
[18:07] <Uoxx_> sacarlson: are you suggesting to use a different connection module?
[18:08] <ruan> cavefish: even if im on the server connecting to its own ip. tried a windows client and failed too
[18:08] <sacarlson> Uoxx_: no it's many wifi devices that I see are having problems with wpa
[18:08] <Uoxx_> .
[18:08] <Uoxx_> (just had to make sure I was here)
[18:09] <sacarlson> Uoxx_: yes try wpa-supplicant it takes 60 secounds to try
[18:09] <ruan> anyone? i still can't ssh to my external ip
[18:09] <Scunizi> Anyone notice wit the update to Firefox from 3.6 to 4 the "Home" button moved from the left of the address bar to the right?  How do I put it back?
[18:09] <ruan> "connection timed out"
[18:09] <ruan> ports are forwarded
[18:09] <coolmego> kkk....i got it
[18:10] <ikonia> Scunizi: firefox 4 is not packaged by ubuntu, so not supported
[18:10] <sacarlson> Uoxx_: I'm not sure you even said you network is encrypted so not sure it will help at all
[18:10] <ruan> udp and tcp
[18:10] <abahkaiyisah> sacarlson: i use two ethernet in myserver which connected to the same switch of the modem. the eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> and eth1 <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:10] <futr_vision> New to Ubuntu and Linux for that matter. Installed LAMP and then installed phpmyadmin. I get a 404 for phpmyadmin however. Already tried "ln - s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/"
[18:10] <coolmego> den wats difference between their scripting language and where can we use shell scripting???
[18:10] <Uoxx_> te: I cant turn off the WEP, ts not exactly my connection
[18:11] <PeaceMaker> Is there any particular reason I should use Ubuntu 10.10 rather than 10.04 Desktop? Thinking to install Ubuntu on my laptop.
[18:11] <sacarlson> abahkaiyisah: I don't see how that would be a problem it will still use the default gateway in most cases unless one fails
[18:12] <abahkaiyisah> sacarlson: ok, i'll try to modify the dhcp.conf.
[18:12] <futr_vision> New to Ubuntu and Linux for that matter. Installed LAMP and then installed phpmyadmin. I get a 404 for phpmyadmin however. Already tried "ln - s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/" ang get an acess denied
[18:13] <Scunizi> When you "add-apt repository" for a PPA where in the system are those software sources stored and can they be seen by looking in Synaptic Package Manager?
[18:13] <gnomefreak> futr_vision: did you try with sudo?
[18:13] <ruan> Scunizi: yes they can be seen from synaptic
[18:13] <sacarlson> futr_vision: I didn't know the lamp package existed on ubuntu
[18:13] <ruan> Scunizi: software sources
[18:13] <futr_vision> gnomefreak, you'll have to explain. I'm new to Ubuntu
[18:13] <te> Uoxx_: cp /etc/resolv.conf net-info ; route -n >> net-info ; iwconfig >> net-info ; ifconfig >> net-info ; pastebinit net-info
[18:13] <Scunizi> ruan: thanks
[18:13] <gnomefreak> Scunizi: yes they will show up in synaptic and im fairly sure it adds them to the default /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:13] <sacarlson> futr_vision: how did you install lamp?
[18:13] <ruan> Scunizi: also, system > administration > software sources
[18:14] <sacarlson> !lamp | futr_vision
[18:14] <jt13> can anyone tell me how to use "axel" with transmission?
[18:14] <coolmego> this is going this a way
[18:15] <coolmego> can somebody pls give me some practical examples on shell scripting???
[18:15] <ikonia> coolmego: tons on the web, google
[18:15] <jt13> can anyone tell me how to use "axel" with transmission?
[18:15] <pcperini> hey, i'm having a hard time unmounting an external drive to a folder. it keeps telling me "/home/me/extern: device is busy"
[18:15] <futr_vision> sacarlson, i used "sudo apt-get install lamp-server^"
[18:15] <ruan> coolmego: bash? check #bash and the guides in its topic
[18:15] <coolmego> sdcs
[18:15] <coolmego> ascfsadasfasfas
[18:15] <te> pcperini: cd
[18:15] <pcperini> te: what?
[18:15] <maco> coolmego: stop please
[18:16] <coolmego> can wdqwd
[18:16] <sacarlson> coolmego: you must be looking for bash scripts google bash  or try #bash
[18:16] <maco> coolmego: if you want to learn some bash scripting, check out tldp.org
[18:16] <te> pcperini: cd #And try again. Or close any other apps or terminals that may be using the device.
[18:16] <pcperini> te: it was that i was in the directory. good catch *facepalm*
[18:16] <longlonglonglong> pcperini: fuser /home/me/extern  and find out which process is ocuppying that directory and then kill it or make it go into another directory
[18:16] <Uoxx> sacarlson: I have wpasupplicant installed
[18:17] <Uoxx> sacarlson: how do I launch it?
[18:17] <Scunizi> How do I find a user of freenode if they are online and what channel they are in?
[18:17] <idky> When I start my freshly installed Ubuntu which I converted from Kubuntu, I get the plymouth screen and then just black. What is going on there?
[18:17] <te> pcperini: Possibly because you have a terminal open and cd'ed into the divice's mount poinnt.
[18:17] <suprbly> Scunizi: try #irssi
[18:17] <ruan> Scunizi: im not sure if this works on all irc clients but /whois name shows channels, and only works if user is online
[18:18] <jt13> could someone please help me with using axel download accelerator in conjunction with transmission? when searching it I only get results for automotive repair
[18:18] <Scunizi> suprbly: that's not the answer
[18:18] <suprbly> Scunizi: ill bet you will get the answer since that is the proper place to ask
[18:18] <Scunizi> ruan: ok.. tried that so either my client doesn't support that (quassel right now) or they are offline. Thanks.. I'll fire up irssi and give it a shot again.
[18:19] <BluesKaj> Scunizi, in the server text do /whois theperson'snick
[18:19] <Scunizi> BluesKaj: got it thanks.. switching to irssi to attempt again.
[18:19] <ruan> gnome-terminal  -t irssi -x irssi -c irc.freenode.net
[18:20] <ruan> ^^ my favourite way of launching irssi
[18:20] <BluesKaj> no to switch to irssi , Scunizi
[18:20] <Scunizi> ruan: I just ssh into my server that had irssi running in screen all the time :)
[18:20] <nettezzaumana> hi there
[18:20] <BluesKaj> no need
[18:20] <aeon-ltd> jt13: just out of curiousity how could a download accelerator speed up torrents? its not like it could make more connections or break it into parts considering it already does those 2
[18:20] <ruan> aeon-ltd: torrents can be sped up by allowing more connections
[18:20] <Scunizi> BluesKaj: just to see if quassel "doesn't" support /whois.. which I would think would be a network function anyway.
[18:20] <BluesKaj> aeon-ltd, they don't work
[18:20] <ruan> aeon-ltd: or more seeders
[18:21] <aeon-ltd> ruan: but it can't, limited by amount of seeders currently online
[18:21] <kiran> wat u mean
[18:21] <aeon-ltd> BluesKaj: thought so
[18:21] <BluesKaj> Scunizi, afaik quassel supports whois
[18:21] <jt13> aeon-ltd, i'm not sure. I have a very high speed internet connection and can never get high speed downloads even when there are 10,000 seeds. i was told to try axel.
[18:21] <ruan> aeon-ltd: yeah it is limited. you can't force people to transfer you files faster
[18:21] <Scunizi> BluesKaj: ah.. ok. thanks
[18:21] <aeon-ltd> jt13: check firewall and open ports first
[18:21] <jt13> how do i do that?
[18:22] <nettezzaumana> any linux ACLs expert ??? i need to set up one directory where all have full access even to files which created someone else .. i'm not linux guy but on my beloved solaris it works like charm: http://starenka.net/nettezzaumana/sol_acls.txt and i'm unable to get it working on linux .. i will greatly appreciate any kind willing to start over with me from `mkdir foo` and then that one setfacl line i suppose
[18:22] <jt13> i'm  a total noob aeon-ltd
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> jt13: well by default ports are closed on routers, you'll need to make rules/exceptions on your router (this may differ from router to router)
[18:22] <abahkaiyisah> sacarlson: what is it mean --> abahkaiyisah-desktop kernel: [ 6621.964011] eth0: Transmit timeout, status ffffffff ffffffff
[18:22] <futr_vision> any ideas why I get 404 after I install phpmyadmin?
[18:22] <abahkaiyisah> sacarlson: i capture from syslog
[18:23] <sacarlson> abahkaiyisah: sorry will have to get back to you have other task now that needs my atention
[18:24] <ruan> im running an ssh server. im only able to access it with a local ip(<IP_ADDRESS>) but not my external ip. if i connect to my external ip, it times out. any suggestions? its port forwarded
[18:24] <ruan> and no firewall^
[18:24] <cavefish> Nettezzaumana: Yes, begin with: sudo apt-get install acl
[18:24] <ikonia> ruan: probably nat on your router failing
[18:24] <jt13> aeon-ltd,  ok would you be able to point me in the direction as far as documentation? i have a netgear Rangemax wireless N300 gigabit router
[18:24] <nettezzaumana> cavefish: get it already
[18:25] <Scunizi> ruan: could be that your isp blocks that port.. might want to change the default port on the server and forwarding in the router
[18:25] <nettezzaumana> cavefish: all prepared .. just show me that one `setfacl $opts foo/` line
[18:25] <ruan> Scunizi: no, i know for sure that my ip actually _uses_ that port
[18:25] <ruan> hmm
[18:25] <tempp> is anyone here familiar with irssi ?
[18:25] <ikonia> ruan: most likley nat on your router failing
[18:25] <ruan> tempp: i am
[18:25] <ikonia> tempp: lots in #irssi channel
[18:25] <tempp> ooh okay ... just had a simple question
[18:25] <ruan> ikonia: how would i check? it's quite a good router
[18:26] <ikonia> ruan: doesn't matter how good the router is if nat/port forwaring is not setup correctly, it won't work, and that's what it sounds like
[18:26] <ruan> port forwarding is done for sure
[18:26] <jt13> aeon-ltd,  ok would you be able to point me in the direction as far as documentation? i have a netgear Rangemax wireless N300 gigabit router
[18:26] <abahkaiyisah> sacarlson: sorry , i mean is it show any informations related the fail of pxe client recieve ip
[18:26] <ikonia> ruan: doesn't sound like it
[18:27] <cavefish> setfacl -m g:opts:rw /Directory
[18:27] <ruan> ikonia: connection is refused on all other ports, but the one thats forwarded times out
[18:27] <nettezzaumana> cavefish: please call my name once yopu'll get or if you will speak to me ... so much buzz here
[18:27] <ikonia> ruan: so ?
[18:27] <ruan> so its clearly not refusing
[18:27] <cavefish> nettezzaumana: setfacl -m g:opts:rw /Directory
[18:27] <pmcclelland> have an idea: wondering if it is possible
[18:27] <ikonia> ruan: I didn't say it was refusing, I said it's not setup correctly
[18:27] <Alex--> Hello, my pc resets itself automaticly..
[18:27] <hckr> Buenas
[18:28] <hckr> algun español?
[18:28] <ikonia> ruan: you know the server is working and listening as you've tested it, so the only break is between the server and the router nat, therefore portforwarding/nat
[18:28] <ruan> ikonia: how could it not be setup correctly if i had a PC ssh to it successfully?
[18:28] <ruan> with the local IP
[18:28] <zvacet> !es | hckr
[18:28] <ikonia> ruan: because the local ip is nothing to do with the NAT
[18:28] <ruan> ikonia: oh ok
[18:28] <pcperini> anyone here familiar with proftpd? i can't seem to get ftpasswd to work correctly
[18:28] <hckr> join #ubuntu-es
[18:29] <manous> hello
[18:29] <din> ruan: maybe your forward is pointing to the wrong internal address?
[18:30] <manous> hello
[18:30] <ruan> i doubt that, my ISP forwarded my router themselves
[18:30] <manous> my server is very low
[18:30] <bildramer> what a big channel.
[18:30] <nettezzaumana> cavefish: # setfacl --set=g:users:rw- foo/

[18:30] <coz_> ruan,  did nothing come of the ##linux visit?
[18:31] <ruan> coz_: i havent tried there yet because i've connected with a local IP
[18:31] <coz_> ruan,  ah ok
[18:31] <din> ruan: i wouldn't trust an isp with my router. :)

[18:31] <melfy> woops? :(
[18:31] <ikonia> this is a problem with your routers port forwarding, you have prooved ssh is working fine

[18:31] <din> ikonia: /agree
[18:31] <Alex---> who can help me?
[18:31] <manous> i have 10 apache in my server
[18:32] <manous> and my website is low
[18:32] <Alex---> what is 10 apache manous ?
[18:32] <ruan> i've transferred files through that port before
[18:32] <ruan> then again, that could be local
[18:32] <din> ruan: login and just double check it.
[18:32] <camden> good morning folks.
[18:32] <din> to your router that is.
[18:32] <axel618> hi, i want to install my wlan driver, but my ubuntu says i need this files "g++-4.4" " build-essential" where i can get them?
[18:33] <ruan> sadly im unable to access my router
[18:33] <te> axel618: apt-get
[18:33] <manous> Alex---: Apache has more than 10 online
[18:33] <din> ruan: well that is where the problem is.
[18:33] <te> axel618: what wireless network adapter do you have?
[18:33] <axel618> te: do i need internet access for that?
[18:33] <camden> after updating and rebooting, network-manager no longer sees my interface. I can manually run dhclient, but network-manager doesn't seem aware that I'm connected
[18:34] <camden> so nm-aware apps, like firefox, start offline
[18:34] <syrinx_> axel618: yes
[18:34] <te> axel618: You need wired access.
[18:34] <camden> any ideas?
[18:34] <ruan> camden: does wicd work?
[18:34] <ruan> !info wicd
[18:34] <axel618> ok thank you, i will try
[18:34] <lvh> Hello!
[18:34] <camden> ruan: not installed, sec
[18:34] <camden> this is for a wired connection, btw
[18:34] <lvh> Could someone tell me how stuff like resolving "lagavulin.local" (another box on my network) Just Works(TM)? What is the mechanism with which that hostname is looked up?
[18:35] <Loxagos_Snake> Hi guys (and girls)
[18:35] <Loxagos_Snake> I wanted to ask a quick question since I started using Ubuntu
[18:35] <sacarlson> abahkaiyisah: Transmit timeout, status ffffffff ffffffff ,   never seen such a thing
[18:35] <te> lvh: nameservers resolve domain names. see /etc/resolv.conf
[18:36] <cavefish> Loxagos_Snake: Yes?
[18:36] <gianky> #list
[18:36] <gianky> xdcc send #99
[18:36] <syrinx_> !ask | Loxagos_Snake
[18:36] <lvh> te: Right, I know about resolv.conf, however: how is my hostname pushed there?
[18:36] <Loxagos_Snake> Can you have get a web server on the 'simple' Ubuntu distro or do you have to get the Server edition?
[18:36] <ikonia> Loxagos_Snake: desktop is a great web server
[18:36] <aeon-ltd> Loxagos_Snake: yes
[18:36] <camden> ruan: wicd installs but fails to start: ImportError: libpyglib-2.0-python2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[18:36] <lvh> te: I certainly didn't manually tell my DNS server (== router + DSL modem + 802.11n AP all-in-one deal) about my hostname.
[18:37] <aeon-ltd> Loxagos_Snake: its all software, the base is just different
[18:37] <te> lvh: But if it is on your LAN, you will need to make provision for name resolution on your own.   Which can involve making entry in /etc/hosts file.
[18:37] <cavefish> Loxagos_Snake: Yes you can, look into LAMP
[18:37] <ruan> Loxagos_Snake: server is just a bunch of extra preinstalled packages
[18:37] <pcperini> so i added a user with the ftpasswd tool for proftpd, and still it says login incorrect. proftpd.conf is pointing at the right place for the user file, and the permissions for both ftpd.passwd and ftpd.group and appropriate
