[11:25] <Gnea> suicidalminds: alright, if you right-click on it, it should bring up a different menu with 3 check-marks next to 3 different options... is that the case?
[11:26] <suicidalminds> yes, Enable Networking is checked and so is enable notifications
[11:26] <suicidalminds> enable wireless and connection information is grayed out
[11:26] <suicidalminds> edit conenctions sand about are not checked
[11:26] <Gnea> ^.o
[11:26] <Gnea> okay
[11:27] <Gnea> suicidalminds: is wireless the only connection to the internet that you have?
[11:27] <suicidalminds> correct
[11:27] <suicidalminds> i can download and burn onto a dvd, but my dvds are getting low lol
[11:28] <Gnea> suicidalminds: don't suppose you have some ethernet cable and a switch laying around that you could connect the two laptops together using internet connection sharing on the system you're on now...
[11:28] <suicidalminds> i have ethernet cable and a router, i don't know if that's helpful ?
[11:28] <suicidalminds> ethernet cables*
[11:29] <Gnea> suicidalminds: does the router have a switch builtin?
[11:29] <suicidalminds> no, i don't think so
[11:29] <Gnea> so it only has 1 or 2 ethernet connections?
[11:30] <protie> oCean:: Well, that worked until I tried to close the term window which froze everything on me, had to reboot. But I am ok now...
[11:30] <suicidalminds> it has a WPS button
[11:30] <protie> oCean:: can you explain what might have caused it and what the metacity is for?
[11:30] <suicidalminds> it's a wifi router with 4 or 5 connections
[11:30] <Gnea> suicidalminds: I'm referring to the places on the router where you can plug the ethernet cables into
[11:30] <Gnea> suicidalminds: aka the rj-45 connectors
[11:30] <suicidalminds> oh ok, let me check
[11:31] <Gnea> suicidalminds: one of them should be labeled WAN while the rest are the LAN or something
[11:31] <suicidalminds> it has WAN and 4 LANs
[11:31] <Gnea> good, then it has a switch builtin :)
[11:31] <Gnea> suicidalminds: are you proficient with setting up ICS in windows?
[11:32] <suicidalminds> ah, not really, but I'd love your help
[11:32] <suicidalminds> should I grab the router and cables :D?
[11:32] <Gnea> suicidalminds: the idea is to hook your toshiba up to the system you're on right now and piggy-backing the internet connection off of it
[11:33] <suicidalminds> is it difficult?   will i disconnect?
[11:33] <suicidalminds> can I have a step to step
[11:33] <suicidalminds> and come back or can you walk me through it?
[11:33] <Gnea> suicidalminds: it's going to be tricky, if the router hands out IP's to the ethernet ports
[11:33] <suicidalminds> it's an SMCWBR14S-N4
[11:33] <suicidalminds> comcast lady said it was their newest model at the time
[11:33] <suicidalminds> i have this IP on a static IP atm
[11:34] <Gnea> one moment...
[11:34] <suicidalminds> ok :D
[11:36] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, here is an easy test: power the router up, then plug an ethernet cable from the netbook to one of the LAN ports - don't connect your windows computer to the router yet
[11:37] <suicidalminds> ok, one moment
[11:37] <Gnea> suicidalminds: then see if the netbook acquires an IP from the router - should become obvious from that networking icon we looked at before
[11:39] <suicidalminds> ok, plugged in
[11:40] <suicidalminds> it looks connected
[11:40] <Gnea> okay, check the connection information, what ip does it have?
[11:40] <suicidalminds> it is waving, Auto eth0 connection established
[11:40] <suicidalminds> should I open a new console?
[11:41] <Gnea> you can, or just right-click on the network icon in the panel
[11:41] <suicidalminds> the IP address is <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:42] <Gnea> alright, then the router is handing out IPs to the switch, hrm...
[11:42] <Gnea> it might be more trouble than it's worth at this point...
[11:42] <caution> Err http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
[11:42] <caution>   404 Not Found
[11:42] <caution> how do I fix my sources.list?
[11:43] <suicidalminds> hmm really, hmm
[11:43] <Gnea> suicidalminds: which wireless driver did you say you're using right now?
[11:43] <jpds> caution: Use old-releases.ubuntu.com.
[11:43] <caution> where can I find the official sources.list for intrepid?
[11:43] <jpds> caution: Or upgrade to a supported release.
[11:43] <suicidalminds> if we can figure it out, I could run xbox 360 from this ay ;)?  lol joke
[11:43] <Gnea> heh
[11:43] <suicidalminds> Wifi on the toshiba or desktop?
[11:43] <Gnea> suicidalminds: the toshiba
[11:44] <suicidalminds> here's the specs on their main site http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/L300/L305-S5906
[11:44] <suicidalminds> Atheros Wireless Lan
[11:44] <suicidalminds> 802.11b/g
[11:44] <jpds> caution: I would highly recommend upgrading, if you care about security updates.
[11:44] <Gnea> suicidalminds: right, but which driver are you using right now? the ndiswrapper? or the atheros?
[11:44] <gunndawg> my toshiba satellite wifi works just perfect after installing 10.10
[11:44] <suicidalminds> here's toshibas wifi drivers on their site http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2199092&rpn=PSLB8U&modelFilter=&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663
[11:45] <suicidalminds> i tried to install the atheros using windows wifi driver install
[11:45] <suicidalminds> i don't know what i'm using
[11:45] <repgahroll> where is the file that ubuntu is reading to start services, like inittab? there's not even event.d anymore, and sysv-rc-conf doesn't list some events...
[11:46] <Gnea> suicidalminds: lsmod | grep ndis   <-- any results from that command?
[11:46] <A_J> how can i partition a HDD, say 1tb into smaller partions ?
[11:46] <Gnea> gunndawg: if you think you can help, feel free to jump in :)
[11:46] <hateball> AJ_Z0: You can use the disk utility and/or gparted
[11:46] <suicidalminds> yes
[11:46] <suicidalminds> ndiswrapper     184207 0
[11:46] <A_J> in gpated in comes blacked out
[11:47] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, what happens if you type the following:  sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
[11:47] <A_J> hateball ?
[11:47] <suicidalminds> those are seperate command lines right?
[11:48] <suicidalminds> nothing, i think i typed that sudo ifconfig wlan0 down earlier
[11:48] <suicidalminds> when i was trying to find a solution online
[11:49] <repgahroll> man... how can i change which services upstart will load??
[11:49] <Gnea> suicidalminds: yes, separate commands, but you can type them all out on one line like that
[11:49] <suicidalminds> ah i see
[11:49] <czardoz> repgahroll, just rename the script in /etc/init.d/
[11:50] <Gnea> !upstart | repgahroll should say here
[11:50] <Gnea> suicidalminds: the && means that the second command won't run unless the first command executes successfully
[11:51] <suicidalminds> so retype it all?
[11:51] <Gnea> well
[11:51] <Gnea> did you already type the whole thing out and press enter?
[11:51] <suicidalminds> seperate
[11:51] <Gnea> that's fine
[11:51] <Gnea> lsmod | grep ndis  <-- anything this time?
[11:51] <suicidalminds> kk, no results came up
[11:51] <repgahroll> czardoz, well... whre is the script for getty?
[11:52] <suicidalminds> negative
[11:52] <Gnea> suicidalminds: good. do you have the regular atheros linux driver installed somewhere?
[11:52] <czardoz> repgahroll, its probably called getty
[11:53] <suicidalminds> i tried to install it using windows driver install
[11:53] <suicidalminds> but it says the hardware isnt present
[11:53] <franzce> does anyone know how to exand the space in hdd on wubi?
[11:53] <bazhang> franzce, there's a tool for that, let me find the link
[11:54] <Gnea> suicidalminds: so forget about that
[11:54] <franzce> bazhang: thnx
[11:54] <repgahroll> czardoz, that's the problem... there's nothing there, not even written in any file...
[11:54] <suicidalminds> kk
[11:54] <DEN007> Who is the thread from Russia?
[11:54] <Gnea> suicidalminds: iwconfig wlan0   <-- any results?
[11:54] <suicidalminds> yes, 4 lines
[11:54] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay.....
[11:54] <czardoz> repgahroll, then you must not have getty installed
[11:54] <suicidalminds> wlan0  IEE 802.11abg  ESSIDE:off/any
[11:54] <kuna> hi
[11:54] <Gnea> suicidalminds: sounds like you had 2 drivers trying to vy for the same device
[11:55] <repgahroll> czardoz, omg... but gettys is launching at boot time
[11:55] <suicidalminds> i have a broadband card driver installed atm too
[11:55] <franzce> bazhang: just pm me ok
[11:55] <repgahroll> czardoz, i'm on 10.10... maybe they changed something in this version
[11:55] <Gnea> !pm | kuna
[11:55] <franzce> bazhang: brb
[11:55] <suicidalminds> i have 3 other drivers that are installed, but says no hardware present
[11:55] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, if you can remove the broadband card, that would be helpful
[11:55] <suicidalminds> should i remove all, but "netathw"

[11:56] <abdel> hello
[11:56] <Gnea> kuna: stop PMing me please
[11:56] <abdel> please can anybody help me
[11:56] <suicidalminds> broadband card removed
[11:56] <Gnea> !ask } abdel
[11:56] <Gnea> !ask | abdel
[11:56] <ikonia> kuna: if you have a question ask it in the channel please.
[11:56] <abdel> how can i create pdf
[11:57] <abdel> want to save my document in pdf format
[11:57] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, what other drivers did you load?
[11:57] <Gnea> abdel: in openoffice?
[11:57] <bazhang> abdel, choose a document, select print choose print to pdf from the menu
[11:57] <suicidalminds> i installed all the other wifi drivers on the toshiba drivers site for this toshiba
[11:57] <abdel> no i mean i want to save it as pdf......
[11:57] <suicidalminds> net8187b, w29n51 as the other 2
[11:58] <Gnea> suicidalminds: are they linux or windows drivers?
[11:58] <bazhang> abdel, that's what it does.
[11:58] <ikonia> abdel: that will "print" it as a file
[11:58] <bazhang> abdel, have you tried yet?
[11:58] <czardoz> i think suicidalminds is trying to install windows drivers through wine
[11:58] <suicidalminds> all windows
[11:58] <czardoz> is that right?
[11:58] <abdel> I dont want to print it.........I want it in pdf format
[11:58] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, no problem then since you've unloaded ndiswrapper
[11:58] <suicidalminds> no, i was using Windows Wireless Drivers
[11:58] <czardoz> ok
[11:59] <Gnea> suicidalminds: now:  sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[11:59] <abdel> but no worries thanks will surely take a look @ it
[11:59] <ikonia> abdel: are you listening, it prints it to a FILE, which is the same as saving it as a file
[11:59] <bazhang> abdel, it prints a pdf on your desktop, thus the print to pdf part here print = save
[11:59] <ndlovu> hi all... something is eating up my disk space (about 200MB per day) - is there some way to figure out what's doing it? Could logs be generating that much?
[11:59] <abdel> thanks bazhang
[11:59] <Gnea> suicidalminds: then:  sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[11:59] <suicidalminds> operation not possible due to rF-Kill
[12:00] <czardoz> ndlovu, use baobab to figure out whats eating the memory
[12:00] <Gnea> er what?
[12:00] <suicidalminds> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
[12:00] <suicidalminds> that's from the sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[12:00] <suicidalminds> should i continue with sudo iwlist wlan0 scan?
[12:00] <Gnea> suicidalminds: sure
[12:01] <abdel> I have a pc (HP) I tried installing ubuntu 10.10
[12:01] <suicidalminds> wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[12:01] <abdel> it worked but the system freezes
[12:01] <ndlovu> czardoz, I've used that to figure out what's really big, but can it keep track of what's changing size?
[12:01] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, reboot
[12:01] <suicidalminds> kk
[12:02] <Gnea> suicidalminds: and make sure the ethernet is disconnected
[12:02] <czardoz> ndlovu, it cant, but you can hace a look every now and then
[12:02] <suicidalminds> kk, it's rebooting without ethernet connection
[12:02] <czardoz> *have
[12:02] <Gnea> suicidalminds: this step is to see what the system loads as a default driver for the wireless
[12:03] <suicidalminds> ah, ok
[12:03] <Ileden> Hi! My Ubuntu system is unbearably laggy. There are no resrouce-hogging processes, dmesg doesnt say anything weird (afaik), the system has 2GB tested memory, and processor is fast enough. The lag seems to affect window rendering operations only. Compiz runs very fast. Turning compiz off doesn't help. What's wrong? Any diagnostic help is appreciated!
[12:03] <Renski> anything odd looking under top?
[12:03] <Ileden> Renski: no
[12:03] <czardoz> Ileden, any proprietary drivers?
[12:03] <ikonia> Ileden: probably your video card not configured/compatible
[12:03] <suicidalminds> ok it looks loaded
[12:04] <Ileden> czardoz: Yes, proprietary drivers.
[12:04] <suicidalminds> terminal present
[12:04] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, open a new terminal and:  iwconfig wlan0
[12:04] <ikonia> Ileden: if it's visual, it's going to be a video card support/intergration issue
[12:04] <Ileden> ikonia: hm? but compiz is running fast, so I'd think video driver is ok...
[12:04] <ikonia> Ileden: what card is it
[12:04] <suicidalminds> no such device
[12:04] <ikonia> Ileden: compiz is not the video card working fine
[12:04] <suicidalminds> wlan0 No such device
[12:04] <ikonia> Ileden: that is just one aspect
[12:04] <Gnea> hmm
[12:04] <Gnea> suicidalminds: what did lspci say again?
[12:04] <Ileden> ikonia: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3600 Series
[12:04] <Ileden> ERM?!
[12:05] <czardoz> Ileden, what happens if you disable the drivers?
[12:05] <suicidalminds> there's a lot, but at the last end, there's
[12:05] <czardoz> does it run normally then?
[12:05] <Ileden> um what? okey that might well point toward the problem.... it's definately not Mobility radeon...
[12:05] <suicidalminds> 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
[12:05] <Gnea> suicidalminds: thank - sorry, closed my browser earlier by accident
[12:05] <suicidalminds> 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
[12:05] <suicidalminds> no problem
[12:06] <suicidalminds> :D
[12:06] <Ileden> I mean, isn't mobility radeon only for laptops? This is a desktop... it's Radeon HD 3650
[12:06] <Ileden> but lspci reports Mobility Radeion 3600 series... is that wrong?
[12:07] <Ileden> I'm using the proprietary FGLRX driver.
[12:07] <Gnea> suicidalminds: do you have any firmware in /lib/firmware/ ?
[12:07] <Gnea> suicidalminds: er, there should be a lot...
[12:07] <suicidalminds> how do I go there?
[12:08] <suicidalminds> to lib?
[12:08] <Ileden> czardoz: do I disable the drivers by just removing them from the "additional drivers" list, or is disabling some other procedure?
[12:08] <suicidalminds> oh found it, one sec
[12:08] <sha> #devmo on irc.mozilla.org
[12:08] <xiaoy> i've just install kde in my ubuntu...but when i get back to gnome all the menus are changed to english, but my original language is chinese. I tried to move up chinese in the language selection window, but i can't move it and it displsys "chinese" in grey...
[12:08] <suicidalminds> yes, I have lots in firmware folder
[12:08] <ikonia> Guest11566: wrong network
[12:08] <xiaoy> how can i change back to chinese ?
[12:08] <Gnea> suicidalminds: okay, do you have a usb thumbdrive?
[12:08] <czardoz> Ileden, JUST DISABLE USING ADDITIONAL DRIVERS MENI
[12:08] <suicidalminds> about 48 folders
[12:09] <suicidalminds> i do not have usb thumbdrive folder
[12:10] <Gnea> suicidalminds: what I'm asking, is do you have a usb jumpdrive/thumbdrive/flashdrive that you can copy files from windows to your toshiba?
[12:10] <Guest11566>  /server irc.mozilla.org
[12:10] <suicidalminds> I don't, I have some DvDs though
[12:10] <suicidalminds> dvdrs
[12:10] <Gnea> suicidalminds: and you can burn from the windows and read them on the toshiba?
[12:11] <suicidalminds> Yes
[12:11] <Gnea> awesome!
[12:11] <suicidalminds> =D
[12:11] <Gnea> suicidalminds: first of all, I'd like to direct you to this site:  http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1273214

[12:12] <suicidalminds2> ok, i'm at that website
[12:13] <Gnea> cool
[12:13] <suicidalminds2> oh nice
[12:13] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: yes :)
[12:13] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: if you read through it, it will show you a link where you can download the firmware and it tells you where it should go
[12:14] <suicidalminds2> i have no idea how to install the firmware
[12:14] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: don't worry about that part for now, the important thing is that you find the link and go there
[12:15] <ajah> i cant browse my phone trough blueman , but can send it files
[12:15] <suicidalminds2> his is the download link: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads and you can find the " iwlwifi-5000-ucode-<IP_ADDRESS>.tgz" firmware. ?
[12:15] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: correct.
[12:15] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: it's pretty easy to find, everything's labeled pretty well
[12:15] <skilz_> someone please help http://pastebin.com/KUJ21cKD
[12:16] <suicidalminds2> what is a ucode?
[12:16] <suicidalminds2> is tgz like .zip/rar?
[12:16] <LjL> suicidalminds2: yes, it's similar
[12:16] <obscurant1st> i justa tsrted to use screenlets and installed the flower screen let. There is an option for give water, i just wonder if it will grow day by day! i cnt handle my curiosity. sorry!
[12:16] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: firmware - piece of software that goes between the driver and the hardware that allows the two to talk to each other
[12:17] <obscurant1st> somebody pls tell me!
[12:17] <suicidalminds2> right, i've installed it on my phone and windows, but
[12:17] <suicidalminds2> this is totally foreign to me
[12:17]  * Gnea looks oddly at obscurant1st
[12:17] <suicidalminds2> i don't understand anything
[12:17] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: it's cool - did you download the .tgz?
[12:18] <suicidalminds2> want me to burn that one file?
[12:18] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: yes please
[12:18] <suicidalminds2> i'm getting lost looking at the page lol
[12:18] <Gnea> lol
[12:18] <suicidalminds2> ok, let me download it on my other computer :)
[12:18] <Gnea> it will make sense, eventually :)
[12:18] <obscurant1st> Gnea: no, if will not grow, why bother about giving water, i know i am being silly, but still?
[12:19] <Gnea> obscurant1st: really, how is that an ubuntu support question?
[12:19] <EmpoyLayaw> hi! has anyone reported Brasero disc burner not functioning for Ubuntu 11.04?
[12:20] <obscurant1st> Gnea: oh, ok! oops, sorry, this is not #ubuntu-offtopic! sorry! this xchat was supposed to goto that channel by default!
[12:20] <Gnea> obscurant1st: no problem
[12:20] <datta> how do i edit the boot menu so that i load up windows first and the boot menu does not show up
[12:20] <suicidalminds2> ok, it is burning onto dvd, should take 1 minute or less
[12:20] <suicidalminds2> to finalize
[12:21] <skilz_> someone please help, im trying to use http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartcam/ and I get this error >> http://pastebin.com/KUJ21cKD
[12:21] <datta> can anyone tell me how i can change the configuration in the boot menu so that Windows pops up in every boot and when i restart the system and pick Ubuntu, Ubuntu pops up
[12:22] <obscurant1st> and btw i had installed KDE and now i revreted back to gnome, but still the screen just before login screen shows Kubuntu, what to do with that?
[12:22] <datta> i could not find a single tutorial to do this
[12:23] <skilz_> datta, edit your grub configurating
[12:23] <skilz_> configuration
[12:23] <suicidalminds2> ok done, i'm putting the dvd into the dvd rom
[12:23] <obscurant1st> datta: you want to make windows boot default?
[12:23] <sacarlson> datta: I might be able to think of a way so if you run ubuntu it will modify the default grub2 on boot but if it boots windows I'm not sure how to change grub2 settings but I bet there is a way
[12:24] <datta> skilz_ how do i do that?
[12:24] <suicidalminds2> ok
[12:24] <Rannger> datta: man grub-mkconfig
[12:24] <obscurant1st> datta: vim /etc/default/grub
[12:24] <datta> skilz_ this had been said in much of the only resources but no direct tutorial
[12:25] <suicidalminds2> ok, it's in Gnea
[12:25] <skilz_> do what obscurant1st said
[12:25] <datta> obscurant1st: yeah i get a editor up but what should i write?
[12:25] <obscurant1st> and if windows is the 2nd one, make the default=1
[12:25] <obscurant1st> if windows is shown 3rd in the boot menu GRUB_DEFAULT=2
[12:25] <skilz_> and to read how to use it by typing man grub-mkconfig
[12:26] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: alright, you should be able to open it on the desktop area under files
[12:26] <obscurant1st> datta: ^^ you betr do what skilz_ said if dont have any idea
[12:26] <sacarlson> datta: if you just want to change the config one time in ubuntu there is a gui app that you can use to make it easy
[12:26] <kongs> hello everybody... im not sure what to search for so im asking in here: Where can I read more about the system/script Ubuntu uses when an system event is triggered? like when loss of internet connection accur, and a notification is pushed to the screen. I would like to implement this in a script im planing to write. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[12:27] <marcobiscaro2112> kongs: are you talking about libnotify? I think that research for it is the first step
[12:28] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: let me know when you're ready - got some terminal commands when you are
[12:28] <suicidalminds2> all ready
[12:28] <suicidalminds2> oh i extracted the folder from the tgz
[12:28] <suicidalminds2> and put it on the dvd if that was ok
[12:28] <suicidalminds2> all ready tho, looking at the folder and terminal
[12:28] <kongs> marcobiscaro2112: Yes that could be it. Im not sure but i will look for information about that. TransmissionBT has also implented this when a filedownload is complete.
[12:28] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: awesome. now we need to run a few more commands before we do anything with the files
[12:29] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: lsmod | grep iwlagn   <-- any results?
[12:29] <shcherbak> kongs: zenity, libnotify? You talk of baloon tip? For system events most comfy is hook up script to syslog.
[12:29] <suicidalminds2> no results
[12:29] <xf_> et.org
[12:29] <marcobiscaro2112> kongs: yes, it's libnotify. If you want to use a script, you will need the package libnotify-bin
[12:29] <marcobiscaro2112> !info libnotify-bin | kongs
[12:30] <kongs> shcherbak: so if i add to syslog the ballon tip would emerge?
[12:30] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: okay, any results from this:  ifconfig wlan0
[12:30] <caution> how do I use old-releases.ubuntu.com with my sources.list?
[12:30] <suicidalminds2> wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[12:30] <kongs> marcobiscaro2112: that seems to it! thanks
[12:31] <bazhang> caution, what version of ubuntu
[12:31] <caution> intreped, I think I've worked it out though
[12:31] <shcherbak> kongs: you can make script to monitor syslog and (in case of revelant line) sent request to libnotify.
[12:31] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: ok good... let's double check something before continuing... open a second terminal window and type:  tail -f /var/log/syslog
[12:31] <Ileden> czardoz: Well, that deems to have solved the issue, though Compiz seems now a bit slower.
[12:31] <marcobiscaro2112> kongs: read the manpage for notify-send to get more info
[12:31] <tyska> hi guys, my touchpad does not work with ubuntu 10.10, can anyone help me?
[12:31] <tyska> my notebook is a dell vostro 1310
[12:32] <suicidalminds2> ok
[12:32] <kongs> shcherbak | marcobiscaro2112: Thank you very much
[12:32] <suicidalminds2> it gave me a bunch of stuff
[12:32] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: when you have that done, go back to the other terminal and type:  sudo modprobe iwlagn   (see what happens in the other terminal when you type that)
[12:32] <caution> have there been any remote security holes since intrepid?
[12:32] <marcobiscaro2112> tyska: it really doesn't work? or some touchpad function doesn't work?
[12:32] <tyska> marcobiscaro2112: doesn't work
[12:33] <tyska> marcobiscaro2112: it stoped suddenly
[12:33] <suicidalminds2> ok it spit more stuff out on the 2nd terminal
[12:33] <repgahroll> how do i actually disable a tty in ubuntu... is it just by removing the conf file from etc/init/ ? thanks
[12:33] <Gnea> repgahroll: yeah
[12:33] <marcobiscaro2112> tyska: have you changed some configuration or updated some package?
[12:33] <repgahroll> Gnea, thank you
[12:34] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: what you're looking for is something that says "loaded firmware  XX.XX.XX.XX"
[12:34] <tyska> marcobiscaro2112: indeed it was working before, but now i started my ubuntu and it is dead
[12:34] <sarge1221> Just wondering but is the 10.10 upgraded advised or is it still pretty bug prone right now?
[12:34] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: or "loaded firmware version X.X.X.X"
[12:34] <EmpoyLayaw> anyone who had success opening ipod using ubuntu 11.04?
[12:34] <suicidalminds2> loaded firmware version <IP_ADDRESS>

[12:35] <tyska> marcobiscaro2112: yeah, i've rebooted many times

[12:40] <suicidalminds2> yeah!

[12:40] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: okay, see if you can access the network manager icon in the panel again
[12:41] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: at this point, you can safely remove it

[12:42] <suicidalminds2> ok, what am i removing?
[12:42] <suicidalminds2> 2
[12:42] <suicidalminds2> enable networking and enable notifications
[12:43] <repgahroll> does the ~/.bash-profile still works ? Because there's none, but will it run if i create one?
[12:43] <Gnea> let me guess... 'enable wireless' is greyed out?
[12:43] <suicidalminds2> just so you know, there are 3 window drivers installed, but all 3 say no hardware present
[12:43] <dibblego> why might my function keys not be working?
[12:43] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: that's fine
[12:43] <suicidalminds2> right, it's greyed out
[12:43] <jrib> repgahroll: ~/.bash-profile never worked...
[12:43] <suicidalminds2> ok :)

[12:45] <repgahroll> jrib, a command

[12:47] <suicidalminds2> hooray :D

[12:47] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: not really, some other people have the same problem and there's no solution yet
[12:47] <jrib> repgahroll: you can create the .desktop file yourself in ~/.config/autostart, but I recommend you just use the gui
[12:48] <suicidalminds2> hahaha, ok :)
[12:48] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: my suggestion is to register and post a reply - let them know that they're not the only ones

[12:48] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: heh, it might help depending on the chipset

[12:48] <suicidalminds2> really, the chipset, is this on the

[12:48] <marcobiscaro2112> tyska: sorry, I am
[12:48] <jrib> repgahroll: I told you, the answer depended on what you want to do...
[12:48] <suicidalminds2> isnt there a chipset on the usb
[12:49] <suicidalminds2> can I use that instead of this 5100 thing
[12:49] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: there is, but look at this one, it's supposed to work but isn't - if you can make sure the $10 one will work before you buy it, would save some trouble
[12:49] <marcobiscaro2112> tyska: it appears ok, line 710 is the same that my dmesg (and here, all is ok)

[12:56] <suicidalminds2> well, thank you for all of your time Gnea
[12:56] <marcobiscaro2112> AlexandreMBM: can we talk on #ubuntu-br ?
[12:56] <suicidalminds2> i honestly truely ever so appreciate it
[12:57] <suicidalminds2> i never expected this, if i wasn't so poor, i'd donate
[12:57] <AlexandreMBM> marcobiscaro2112, yes
[12:57] <AlexandreMBM> marcobiscaro2112, I am in #ubuntu-br
[12:57] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: all in due time :)
[12:59] <induz> can i setup KDE on Lucid??
[12:59] <suicidalminds2> lol, you know what's really funny
[12:59] <suicidalminds2> this laptop won't allow me to install windows on it
[13:00] <suicidalminds2> so i'm forced to learn Ubuntu :P
[13:00] <Gnea> hahaha
[13:00] <repgahroll> there's a problem... if anything go wrong while loggin in because of problems in bash_profile, the login will fail... so it's better to just link a failsafe script from there.
[13:01] <shcherbak> suicidalminds2: Forced? There is plenty of distros.
[13:01] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: I guess I'd try removing that module and trying the windows modules again
[13:01] <suicidalminds2> oh, not forced, but, ya know, learn this stuff
[13:01] <Gnea> suicidalminds2: just make sure you actually modprobe -r iwlagn
[13:01] <suicidalminds2> my friend who uses linux installed this for me :)
[13:01] <repgahroll> suicidalminds2, what's the hardware?
[13:01] <suicidalminds2> type in modprobe -r iwlagn?
[13:01] <suicidalminds2> Satellite L305-S5906
[13:01] <suicidalminds2> Toshiba
[13:01] <Gnea> with sudo
[13:02] <induz> how do i know which Gnome i am using??
[13:02] <bazhang> induz, which version of ubuntu
[13:02] <suicidalminds2> can you type that all out again?  my brain is so shot
[13:02] <suicidalminds2> i've been trying to figure this out for 6 hours straight lol
[13:02] <eXpLoD> root directory is empty
[13:03] <induz> Lucid
[13:03] <repgahroll> suicidalminds2, well. it ships with windows...
[13:03] <FrankLv> I expend the disk size in vmware, how can i use the extra disk in guest linux,which is using LVM? fdisk -l is the same.thanks.
[13:03] <suicidalminds2> i can't install windows on it Lol
[13:03] <bazhang> induz, try the about gnome menu from system
[13:03] <suicidalminds2> it has some kind of boot sector error
[13:03] <repgahroll> suicidalminds2, what version?
[13:03] <suicidalminds2> i've tried XP, windows 7, vista, ect
[13:04] <knottie> I got rid of my video card, and now when ubuntu boots up, it just takes me to tty1 instead of gnome
[13:04] <knottie> how do I correct?
[13:04] <suicidalminds2> my friend installed Ubuntu and I was happy lol
[13:04] <suicidalminds2> it works :D
[13:04] <repgahroll> suicidalminds2, try deleting the partitions, erasing mbr, etc. this hardware is made to work with windows.
[13:04] <induz> 2.30.2 Gnome. Is it the latest??
[13:05] <bazhang> induz, the latest is on 10.10
[13:05] <suicidalminds2> he tried doing all of that
[13:05] <suicidalminds2> harddrive is f'ckD
[13:05] <bazhang> 2.32.0
[13:05] <Gnea> repgahroll: that's really outside of the scope of the real problem
[13:05] <bazhang> suicidalminds2, language please
[13:05] <suicidalminds2> naw, i will use Ubuntu
[13:05] <suicidalminds2> sorry
[13:05] <normalRA_ra> This stuff with sound is killing me. I have sound on both headphones and the speakers. I know i should be happy that I have sound at all, but seriously.
[13:05] <normalRA_ra> Played with alsamixer, if I mute "Front" no sound at all.
[13:06] <suicidalminds2> so I can experience myself in the world of Linux (i don't know any terminology, forgive if i say things i don't know better)
[13:06] <suicidalminds2> lol
[13:06] <knottie> I got rid of my video card, and now when ubuntu boots up, it just takes me to tty1 instead of gnome. how do I correct this?
[13:08] <induz> i am using Lucid 10.4 and gnome is 2.30.0..how can i upgrade to the latest of gnome or it is not suppoted on Lucid??
[13:08] <aiurm> I am sorry for a realy newbeginer question, but i deleted the folder /etc/exim4, is there a way to get a new basic config for it? I do not need what i deleted just fresh files
[13:08] <repgahroll> Gnea, hmmm... well... i'm just telling that if he wants to use windows, it's possible... because that hardware should even have a windows sticker. but i heavily encourage to use ubuntu though.
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> induz:  there may be PPA's of newer gnome versions
[13:09] <made2shred> whats the best IP blocker
[13:09] <suicidalminds2> all that stuff reminded me of cisco networking
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  what are you trying to do exactly?
[13:10] <repgahroll> that "impossible to install windows" history does't seems very true imho :)
[13:10] <made2shred> block anti p2p
[13:10] <kyosp> knottie:may be you should re-install the video card driver.
[13:10] <induz> Dr_Willis, how can i get PPA for lates Gnome on Lucid??
[13:10] <Calinou> by the way.. where's the PPA of gnome for lucid, Dr_Willis ?
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  most torrent clients have a plugin/feature for that.
[13:10] <knottie> I'll be more specific. I removed my video card and now I'm using video chipset that came with the mobo, and all I get a terminal.
[13:10] <Calinou> is the latest version of gnome better than the 2.30.0?
[13:10] <Gnea> repgahroll: well, if he wants windows on it, he could just ask in #windows, where it's supported :)
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> Calinou:  no idea. Id have to google for it. im not too big of a hurry to try the latest gnoime
[13:10] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: yeah but cant load lists
[13:10] <Calinou> ok
[13:11] <repgahroll> Gnea, yeah... you're right. :)
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  some clients make it harder then others. check your clients guides. Im using qbtorrent (i think) mainly these days
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> most full featured clients can auto-download/setup the list via plugins. or othre ways
[13:12] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: using transmission
[13:12] <suicidalminds2> i haven't been on irc for 10 years
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  perhapos its time to try a differnt client.
[13:12] <suicidalminds2> i remember downloading .rm anime, 35mb 25min video files
[13:12] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: what do you suggest?
[13:13] <BluesKaj> hey folks
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  ktorrent, qbtorrent, and now a days utorrent has a linux port even.. depends on your needs.
[13:13] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: lightweight good security
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  vague 'needs' :)  most can fit that catagory
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> lightweight is gotten to be such a buzzword..
[13:14] <suicidalminds2> Ok Gnea, thank you so much for your support!
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  try one, see if it suites you. if not try another.
[13:14] <made2shred> ok thanks
[13:14] <suicidalminds2> Take care

[13:15] <Dr_Willis> Andy-at-home:  you can delete the proper file and reset the keyring.
[13:15] <benzap> i can;t connect to my server anymore
[13:15] <benzap> yet i can ping it, use samba shares
[13:15] <benzap> anything involving ssh does not work

[13:16] <Andy-at-home> what file do i delete?
[13:16] <acicula> benzap: do you get a user or password prompt when you connect?
[13:16] <benzap> no
[13:16] <Dr_Willis>  /.gnome2/keyrings i think
[13:16] <benzap> i used to be able to connect
[13:16] <benzap> i can ping it
[13:16] <benzap> but ssh just doesn't work
[13:16] <acicula> benzap: does it return immediately or does the ssh client hang for awhile
[13:17] <benzap> it hangs
[13:17] <acicula> benzap: i guess ssh isnt running for some reason
[13:17] <benzap> hmm
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> ssh -vvv remotebox   ( to enable very verbose ssh error messages)
[13:17] <benzap> that's odd
[13:17] <benzap> ok, i'll try that
[13:17] <acicula> thats a good one to try
[13:18] <gunndawg> I am back!
[13:18] <acicula> but its most likely hanging for awhile because the ssh daemon is not responding

[13:19] <acicula> cse04: gdb, strace etc
[13:19] <benzap> the only debug message appears to be the same, connection timed out
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> made2shred:  no idea. i cant get to a browser right now
[13:20] <acicula> benzap: will have to investigate on the machine then
[13:20] <benzap> yeah, prob
[13:20] <cse04> acicula: how to apply the command ?
[13:20] <benzap> i haven't updated it though!
[13:20] <benzap> why would it just decide to stop working!
[13:20] <acicula> cse04: strace programname
[13:20] <benzap> piece of shit!
[13:20] <made2shred> Dr_Willis: ok
[13:21]  * benzap flails a trout in the air, like just doesn't care
[13:21] <bazhang> benzap, language please
[13:21] <acicula> benzap: best investigate before blaiming the program
[13:21] <alexbligh> Someone has installed a server for me running Lucid and has installed a pile of stuff I don't need on a server (e.g. X). What is the easiest way (without doing a reinstall, and over ssh) to return it to a base server config?
[13:22] <acicula> alexbligh: there is no meta-package uninstall, but if you pick main package like the xfree package it should get pretty much everything that depends on it
[13:23] <acicula> alexbligh: or look in /var for the apt history/cache and make a list of recently installed packages
[13:23] <schnuffle1> alexbligh: there no such things as a base server config, so sort out which services you need and uninstall the rest. Maybe debfoster can help you with that
[13:23] <BluesKaj> benzap, maybe the rsa key neds uodating open /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub delete the key and ssh again, it'll generate a new one for that IP
[13:24] <benzap> BluesKaj: but it isn't even telling me that the server rejected me
[13:24] <acicula> oh debfoster seems nice
[13:24] <induz> my upgraded Lucid randomly freezes and mouse,keyboard become un-responsive, why>??
[13:24] <induz>  aany clue
[13:24] <cse04> acicula: g++ strace  filename.cpp
[13:24] <A_J> I need a little help in Gpart, i wanna re size my System Parition..
[13:24] <A_J> http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5457/screenshotoz.png
[13:24] <A_J> Please Help me
[13:24] <benzap> it just says the connection timed out
[13:24] <acicula> cse04: strace works on executables
[13:25] <A_J> any1 ?
[13:25] <benzap> hmm maybe if i purge the current ssh server and reinstall?
[13:25] <induz> I have No propeierety drive in use on this Dell 4 system
[13:25] <bazhang> A_J, unmount it?
[13:25] <induz> but it freezes lately
[13:25] <A_J> gives error
[13:25] <schnuffle1> A_J: first backup!!! your important stuff
[13:25] <induz> no error is shown
[13:25] <jetboyjetgirl> i mistakenly installed 32 bit instead of 64 :-( .... is there a big difference?
[13:25] <A_J> lol clean install
[13:25] <induz>  the screen freezes
[13:25] <jetboyjetgirl> for ubuntu 10.10 that is
[13:26] <bazhang> A_J, are you doing this from a live cd live gparted cd?
[13:26] <benzap> jetboyjetgirl: it depends on what you're doing
[13:26] <bazhang> jetboyjetgirl, how much ram
[13:26] <jetboyjetgirl> just internet, multimedia, games, irc
[13:26] <schnuffle1> A_J: You need to create a gparted live CD and boot from it, then you can resize the partition
[13:26] <cdavis> How can I cause my wireless usb to not activate in ubuntu? I only want to use it with virtualbox
[13:26] <A_J> from inside ubuntu
[13:26] <jetboyjetgirl> 4 gig ram
[13:26] <benzap> jetboyjetgirl: not really
[13:26] <acicula> jetboyjetgirl: not for normal users really, unless you have more then 4GB.
[13:26] <jetboyjetgirl> ahh ok, cool... so not even worth reinstalling then
[13:26] <benzap> if you're using blender with rendering, then yes
[13:26] <bazhang> jetboyjetgirl, you can install linux-generic-pae to see all 4gb of the ram
[13:26] <schnuffle1> A_J: You can't resize ay mounted partition
[13:27] <A_J> what should i do then ?
[13:27] <cse04> acicula: it should be write in the terminal or program starting?
[13:27] <A_J> burn a live cd  ?
[13:27] <bazhang> A_J, use a live cd or a gparted live cd
[13:27] <benzap> A_J: yes, or a live usb key
[13:27] <schnuffle1> A_J: As I told you burn a live cd/usb stick and boot from it
[13:27] <benzap> i always find that moreuseful, and it's less wasteful
[13:27] <jetboyjetgirl> is that like a system tool bazhang? i'm kinda new to linux
[13:27] <acicula> cse04: you cant use strace on source code, best read the man page on what you can do with it
[13:28] <A_J> then unmount, and re size the empty space ?
[13:28] <bazhang> jetboyjetgirl, its a kernel (pae kernel) that allows 32 bit to see more than 3.5 gb of ram
[13:28] <bazhang> jetboyjetgirl, install that package and it will pull in the rest
[13:28] <schnuffle1> A_J: When you boot the live CD, the HDD partitios are not used so you can resize them
[13:28] <A_J> okie
[13:28] <jetboyjetgirl> ok great, thanks for the help :-)
[13:29] <A_J> btw, what IRC client are u people using, Xchat ?
[13:29] <schnuffle1> A_J: Pidgin as I'm mostly using jabber
[13:29] <A_J> jabber ?
[13:29] <bazhang> A_J, that or irssi, or many others. check the package manager for a list
[13:30] <A_J> thank you :D
[13:30] <schnuffle1> A_J: Xmpp, google uses it
[13:31] <A_J> any1 can tell me why i can't display max resolution.. which is 1024*1080
[13:31] <A_J> it's not showing up in my moniters setup
[13:31] <schnuffle1> A_J: Wrong monitor specs or wrong graphic card driver
[13:32] <A_J> it working on onboard
[13:32] <bazhang> A_J, what's the video card
[13:32] <Squarism> Yo... i have a one year old dell laptop (e5410) that has the "Intel HM55 Express Chipset"... seems the support for this chipset - graphics in particular is lackiung alot in ubuntu / linux. I wonder where you ppl turn if some hardware isnt supported. I guess a popular chipset gets some opensource attention somewhere?!
[13:32] <A_J> onboard
[13:32] <bazhang> A_J, need the actual chipset
[13:32] <A_J> one sec

[13:33] <A_J> Asus P5GC-MX
[13:33] <alexbligh> acicula, thanks. I was hoping I could take the package list from a normal machine and remove with purge all the rest. I guess I can do dpkg -i , diff, some perl, and feed it to aptitude purge
[13:33] <A_J> thats the board
[13:33] <bazhang> A_J, lspci in the terminal --> paste.ubuntu.com
[13:34] <cse04> acicula: in normal execution it shows segmentation fault. what it means?
[13:34] <acicula> alexbligh: de deborphan package is no use?
[13:34] <A_J> how do i open the terminal ?
[13:35] <arand> A_J: Ctrl+Alt+T if you are running 10.04 or later
[13:35] <bazhang> A_J, applications accessories terminal
[13:35] <acicula> cse04: usually means an error in your code, you should probably check your code using a debugger like gdb or just printf statements to see where it fails
[13:35] <schnuffle1> alexbligh: deborphan only purges unneeded packages, debfoster gives you questions on what to keep or not have a look at it
[13:35] <acicula> schnuffle1: alexbligh my bad, thats what i meant
[13:35] <stevenyanzhi> can anyone tell me why i can't create java project in eclipse?
[13:35] <A_J> i copy that to pastebin ?
[13:35] <robinsmidsrod> how do I avoid that ubuntu 10.04 boots with a "graphical" text mode, that is, not a pure text mode (aka vga=0 kernel mode param)
[13:35] <schnuffle1> A_J: yes
[13:36] <bazhang> A_J, yes, and give us the url
[13:36] <robinsmidsrod> it seems as it changes to a 640x480 16 color graphical emulated text mode somewhere in the init process
[13:36] <cse04> acicula: how to use gdb .please say with example.
[13:36] <A_J> http://pastebin.com/2Adq4KUH
[13:36] <robinsmidsrod> How can I just keep whatever text mode the kernel boots in?
[13:36] <bazhang> Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller A_J
[13:37] <A_J> okie
[13:37] <acicula> cse04: thats a bit beyond the scope of the channel really, try the gdb man page and/or a tutorial on gdb/debugging in general?
[13:38] <A_J> bazhang, what should i do ?
[13:38] <schnuffle1> cse04: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~srhuang/teaching/cmsc212/gdb-tutorial-handout.pdf
[13:38] <bazhang> A_J, whats the current resolution you get?
[13:38] <A_J> 1024X768
[13:39] <DominiCanes> anybody here has ubuntu 11 on netbook
[13:39] <bazhang> A_J, and what were you expecting? I've not gotten better than that with my own with a similar chip
[13:39] <acicula> DominiCanes: try #ubuntu+1
[13:39] <DominiCanes> ok
[13:39] <bazhang> DominiCanes, natty in #ubuntu+1 please
[13:39] <A_J> i use to get 1024*1080 on windowa
[13:39] <Kronusdark> is there a way to via SSH configure ubuntu to run in text mode only on reboot?
[13:39] <A_J> windows*
[13:40] <jrib> Kronusdark: you don't want gdm to startup?
[13:40] <slayton> hi all!
[13:40] <DominiCanes> guys is there any channel for ubuntu netbook
[13:40] <Kronusdark> no
[13:40] <Kronusdark> im using it for remote access only
[13:40] <slayton> random question, sometimes when I type cd / I mess up and type cd //, and it takes me to //  what is //?
[13:41] <bazhang> DominiCanes, no
[13:41] <Kronusdark> but i want to be able to start gdm on demand
[13:41] <jrib> Kronusdark: if you read /etc/init/gdm.conf it hints that you can add "text" to your kernel line in grub to have gdm not start
[13:41] <psycho_oreos> slayton, its the same as /
[13:41] <A_J> bazhang how do i get drivers ?
[13:41] <Clavin12> So what do I do if my ubuntu upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 is taking days to install and configure the packages it took a couple hours to download?
[13:42] <slayton> psycho_oreos, does it carry any significance? because cd /// takes you to /
[13:42] <Kronusdark> how do i edit grub? it used to be a menu.lst but im not sure anymore
[13:42] <psycho_oreos> slayton, none that I'm aware of
[13:42] <Kronusdark> it looks like the config is automatic
[13:42] <psycho_oreos> !grub2| Kronusdark
[13:42] <acicula> Clavin12: using some kind of ancient esoteirc hardware or recent stuff?
[13:42] <jrib> Kronusdark: edit /etc/default/grub and modify GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, run update-grub, update the existing entries in /boot/grub/grub.cfg too
[13:43] <A_J> bazhang, do u mind if i pm ?
[13:43] <Guest68023> ciao
[13:43] <Kronusdark> ok i wasnt sure, as /etc/default/grub says not to edit
[13:43] <Kronusdark> i will try tyhat
[13:43] <Kronusdark> that
[13:43] <Clavin12> acicula, it's an older vaio, but the previous upgrades I've done have only taken a few hours.
[13:43] <induz> my Lucid freezes randomly why??
[13:44] <tzang> Hello
[13:44] <schnuffle1> induz: check dmesg fro errors
[13:44] <bazhang> A_J, keep it here, I am searching the forums please
[13:44] <A_J> ok
[13:44] <A_J> sry
[13:44] <acicula> Clavin12: older is relative, what year is it from? Normally an upgrade shouldnt run for more then a few hours. a few days would mean it hangs or is stuck
[13:44] <induz> schnuffle, can i find that error on Log file??
[13:44] <bahaa> how to get Gnome from Ubuntu 10.10 live cd using synaptic on XUbuntu?
[13:44] <jetboyjetgirl> cool I already have PAE since I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 apparently
[13:45] <acicula> Clavin12: may be the bottom of the update-manager you can click something to show the installation console to see what its currently doing/attempting
[13:45] <jetboyjetgirl> thanks again
[13:45] <bahaa> had no luck with this:https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/offline.html
[13:45] <Clavin12> It's still moving.
[13:45] <Clavin12> Acicula, I've had the console open
[13:45] <acicula> Clavin12: let it run then i guess
[13:45] <schnuffle1> induz: Yes, sudo dmesg gives you some hints normally, to analyze do a sudo dmesg | less
[13:45] <Clavin12> acicula, but the time keeps getting larger and the progress bar isn't moving.
[13:45] <tzang> I am very new at ubuntu and I have a easy question. Is there a terminal command to share a folder to a group? I have a user added to a group called "cns". I made a dir using mkdir called "cnsshare"
[13:45] <bazhang> xserver-xorg-video-intel A_J  please check that is installed or not
[13:46] <acicula> Clavin12: but its definitly odd, try dmesg in a console and see if there any hardware errors reporting
[13:46] <A_J> checking
[13:46] <Clavin12> acicula, I'll try it
[13:47] <schnuffle1> tzang:  chown -R :cns <yourfolder>
[13:47] <A_J> Yea
[13:47] <tzang> thank you
[13:47] <A_J> i have that installed

[13:59] <bahaa> bazhang, why?
[13:59] <bahaa> bazhang, doesn't it have the packages?
[13:59] <bazhang> bahaa, alternate or aptoncd
[13:59] <erUSUL> bahaa: becouse the livecd does not contain packages; it contains a live system
[13:59] <A_J|Unix> bazhang,  i try with the live cd ?
[13:59] <bazhang> A_J|Unix, try what
[14:00] <bahaa> erUSUL, but it can install the packages when told to!!
[14:00] <Clavin12> acicula, if I did want to stop the upgrade safely how would I go about it?
[14:00] <bazhang> bahaa, thats the way it is, we can't change it.
[14:00] <erUSUL> bahaa: it copies the live system to the hard disk
[14:00] <woodzy> i have graphical login disabled: when i use xinit or startx, how can i tell it which desktop I want (KDE or GNOME)?
[14:00] <A_J|Unix> it won't screw with the boot partions ?

[14:06] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, unfortunately the system is quite slow due to the current upgrade process, and I'm having quite a time getting to the terminal
[14:06] <woodzy> A_J|Unix: there is a channel for xchat:  #xchat
[14:07] <Renski> has anyone installed and maintained a BNC before? If so, do you have any recommendations for which BNC I should try?
[14:07] <woodzy> i have graphical login disabled: when i use xinit or startx, how can i tell it which desktop I want (KDE or GNOME)?
[14:08] <schnuffle1> Renski: when I used a bnc, psybnc did a good job for me
[14:08] <juniour>  Clavin12 ps -A
[14:09] <edgy> Hi, I edited /etc/hosts.deny and added: sshd: ALL: twist /bin/echo access denied! , but when I try ssh it doesn't print that message, what's wrong, please?
[14:09] <juniour>  Clavin12 PS -A THIS WILL LIST U ALL THE PROCESS
[14:09] <Pici> juniour: Mind the caps please.
[14:09] <Fuchs> edgy: why should it print the message for the one connecting?
[14:10] <hemisphere> hi.. I need some help with Java Jar files
[14:10] <juniour> HDD
[14:10] <schnuffle1> !ask | hemisphere
[14:10] <hemisphere> I am a Java developer and I noticed my Java jar files could not be set as executable
[14:10] <Fuchs> hemisphere: you don't need to
[14:10] <edgy> Fuchs: because this is what I thought twist command would do, am I wrong?
[14:10] <Fuchs> hemisphere: java -jar  <file>  should not care whether it is executable
[14:11] <hemisphere> I am trying to do the double click to execute thing
[14:11] <JenniferB2> hi folks.. I have installed a minimum version of ubuntu server ... and I would like to now install a minimum version of the gnome desktop on it.. without all the extra crap .. any tips on how I can do this ?
[14:11] <Fuchs> edgy: first time I see that, where did you get that?
[14:11] <hemisphere> usually before the recent upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10, i could simply allow the jar file set as executable bit and I could double click and it would launch
[14:12] <ghostcube> soreau: o.o
[14:12] <Fuchs> hemisphere: for that you don't need to make it executable
[14:12] <Fuchs> hemisphere: you have to tell the file manager (or desktop environemtn) that .jar files should be opened with  `java -jar $file`
[14:12] <hemisphere> how do I do that ?
[14:12] <Fuchs> hemisphere: so you need to add a corresponding mimetype binding
[14:12] <hemisphere> what is that ?/
[14:12] <Fuchs> hemisphere: depends on the file manager / desktop environment used
[14:12] <korsakoff-> hi
[14:13] <edgy> Fuchs: man hosts_options
[14:13] <phil> hi there, is there a way to automate building of a specific downloaded kernel module every time a new kernel is installed?
[14:13] <korsakoff-> someone could help me out with dovecot?
[14:13] <korsakoff-> please
[14:13] <Fuchs> hemisphere: for nautilus: right click, properties, there should be a tab to set an application to the type
[14:13] <hemisphere> Type: Java archive (application/x-java-archive)
[14:13] <hemisphere> It is there by default
[14:13] <Fuchs> edgy: I am not sure whether that works for ssh
[14:14] <Fuchs> hemisphere: now tell the file manager to open that kind of file with  `java -jar $file`
[14:14] <hemisphere> how do I tell the file manager to do that ?
[14:14] <schnuffle1> hemisphere: http://superuser.com/questions/78989/configure-ubuntu-to-run-jar-file-by-duble-clicking-on-it
[14:14] <Fuchs> hemisphere: as I just told you
[14:15] <edgy> Fuchs: I just tried telnet to port 22 and it works but why it doesn't work with ssh?!
[14:15] <Fuchs> edgy: possible, yes
[14:15] <hemisphere> The file '/xxx/yyyyyyyyy.jar' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[14:15] <schnuffle1> edgy: because ssh is not a text based protocol
[14:16] <hemisphere> I have done that to jar files a while ago and it has never failed to launch a jar on double click
[14:16] <hemisphere> I suspect the recent update to Ubuntu have caused it to go abit off...
[14:17] <edgy> schnuffle1: can you explain more about what text based protocol means? or show me a doc for this and how can I differentiate?
[14:17] <hemisphere> I have tried using chmod 777 on my jar file and double click jar doesn't work too
[14:18] <schnuffle1> edgy: protocolls like imap,http,pop3,telnet are pruly text based so you can emulate it with telnet, ssh is not
[14:18] <schnuffle1> edgy: purly
[14:19] <schnuffle1> edgy: text based means that all the communication is done in ascii
[14:19] <edgy> schnuffle1: ah! you mean ascii vs encrypted?
[14:19] <tzang> I got another new guy to ubuntu question. In the command "sudo chown USERNAME /folder/", that changes owner. But in the command "sudo chown :cns /folder/", what does : do? Is that what adds the group?
[14:20] <schnuffle1> edgy: yes
[14:20] <DrGrov> Good evening
[14:20] <gunndawg> good morning drgrov
[14:20] <edgy> schnuffle1: so in ssh what's the proper way to echo a message to the client when he is denied access?
[14:20] <DrGrov> I have now got the Ubuntu Studio as my Plymouth theme. Now I am wondering that how can I alter some settings within? Perhaps change theme or such?
[14:20] <schnuffle1> tzang: it changes the group not the owner
[14:20] <tzang> ok thank you again. I think I have it now
[14:20] <DrGrov> Good morning/afternoon gunndawg :)
[14:21] <gunndawg> DrGrov, still night for me, might be 6am but I havent slept yet! still writing my shell scripts!
[14:21] <phil> i'm using a patched v4l tree to get the dvb-t stick working but have to recompile it for every kernel update, is there a way to automate this?
[14:21] <hemisphere> sry connection dropped
[14:21] <schnuffle1> tzang: the normal syntax is chown <user>:<group>
[14:21] <DrGrov> And perhaps change the resolution to a tiny bit higher since it looks cluttered at 1024x768. Perhaps does 1600x1200 work on a 42" Full HD tv which I run at the native resolution 1920x1080?
[14:21] <DrGrov> gunndawg: You are a machine ;-)
[14:22] <rsh> hello everyone  how d u remove cached packages for installation??//
[14:22] <gunndawg> DrGrov, I try not to be! lol
[14:22] <izinucs> I think I just backed up my mysql database using mysqldump -u USER -pPASS --single-transaction -Q --databases foo bar .. looked like it went smoothly.. but where does it put the file(s)?  or am I missreading the command and at the end have two database names.. the secondary being the backup with path location?
[14:22] <DrGrov> gunndawg: Lol
[14:22] <Pici> rsh: sudo apt-get clean
[14:22] <DrGrov> gunndawg: You got any clues about Plymouth Manager?
[14:22] <rsh> particular file?
[14:22] <gunndawg> DrGrov I am writing my own system maint. utility, and no, no clue about that
[14:22] <hemisphere> I noticed I use the file manager properties to set my jar file permisions to 'Allow executing file as program' but whenever I tried to put a tick, it would reset and take away the tick. why is that so ?
[14:23] <schnuffle1> hemisphere: you don't have the right to change it?
[14:23] <hemisphere> I am the admin
[14:23] <pwrusr> sudo at-get clean is tha tsomething that should be run regularly or should it be used with caution or caveates
[14:23] <Fuchs> hemisphere: maybe it is on a noexec mounted drive?
[14:23] <hemisphere> I even use sudo nautilus
[14:23] <Fuchs> hemisphere: sudo nautilus is a very bad idea
[14:23] <rsh> how d u particular file? i want remove just dillo.
[14:23] <DrGrov> Is there any application to change Plymouth themes? Or do I need to run that fixplymouth script every time?
[14:23] <hemisphere> how do I know if it is a noexec mounted drive ?
[14:24] <hemisphere> it is a usb stick
[14:24] <Fuchs> hemisphere: by the list  `mount`  gives you
[14:24] <gunndawg> DrGrov what is Plymouth ?
[14:24] <schnuffle1> hemisphere: when the file doesn't belong to admin that doesn't matter, root can do everything, but admin not
[14:24] <DrGrov> gunndawg: It is the login manager thingie in Ubuntu 10.04. Not sure how to explain more throughly. It is the nice GUI thingie running upon boot.
[14:24] <civixier> could someone please point me to something on how to solve the issue when I get the error message: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[14:25] <gunndawg> DrGrov does 10.10 use it as well ?
[14:25] <schnuffle1> civixier: is it 64bit system?
[14:25] <Pici> DrGrov: No, thatgs GDM.  Plymouth powers the boot process and shows the Ubuntu logo and 5 dots.
[14:25] <vrubium> k
[14:25] <civixier> schnuffle1: it is :)
[14:25] <hemisphere> I enabled execution for the jar file on desktop and brought it over to the usb stick and the permissions for the jar file in the usb stick changed
[14:26] <schnuffle1> civixier: and what are you starting? some 32 bit firefox?
[14:26] <sjskanth> Hi everybody
[14:26] <hemisphere> previously it wasn't that way. I could execute jar files by double clicking on usb stick
[14:26] <acicula> civixier: means its missing a library, either you deleted it, its poorly packaged, or you are using some special apt rules to pin/remove packages
[14:26] <civixier> schnuffle1: hamachi. I dont know if it is 32 or 64-bit. could it be that it is 32-bit?
[14:26] <erUSUL> hemisphere: most external filesystems are mounted noexec this days afaik
[14:26] <Fuchs> hemisphere: again, the x bit on the .jar file does not change anything
[14:26] <Fuco> Hi. Is there an easy way to change the default window border to have the "x" button on the right not on the left?
[14:27] <sjskanth> Im new to ubuntu just installed a week ago I luv it but still need some help with graphics
[14:27] <Fuchs> Fuco: yes, via gconf-editor
[14:27] <Fuco> otherwise it's pretty solid but this I can't use ;D
[14:27] <Pici> !controls | Fuco
[14:27] <Fuco> ok thanks
[14:27] <DrGrov> Pici: Oh sorry. :(
[14:27] <civixier> acicula: yea, i tried to link to libcrypto.sp.0.9.8 without any luck.
[14:27] <DrGrov> Pici: Perhaps you can advice me on how to install new Plymouth themes and also change them?
[14:27] <acicula> civixier: fix the bad package i suppose
[14:27] <hemisphere> how do I get my usb stick to become exec instead of noexec ?
[14:27] <schnuffle1> civixier: depends on how you installed it. So check for 64 bit hamachi or install 32bit libcrypto
[14:27] <sjskanth> Help needed here badly ...anybody?
[14:27] <Pici> DrGrov: there are a few in the repos, search for 'plymouth', also check out this factoid...
[14:27] <DrGrov> Pici: The Ubuntu Studio works out well now but I kind of hoped to change it. I used in order just to check it is working without any fuss
[14:27] <Fuchs> Fuco: or, the short version:  gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close
[14:27] <cryogenfx> ahoi sailors. when i'm trying to install maverick on my desktop, i choose language, install, and then the blinking dots, then can't find a live image, can't read from /dev/sr0 or sr1 and it halts. wai?
[14:27] <Pici> !plymoyth | DrGrov
[14:27] <schnuffle1> !ask | sjskanth
[14:27] <Pici> !plymouth | DrGrov
[14:28] <civixier> schnuffle1: where can I find what I need and how do i install that? :)
[14:28] <Fuchs> hemisphere: why do you want it to? Again: the x bit does not change anything
[14:28] <Fuchs> hemisphere: remount it without noexec, but it won't help at all regarding your problem
[14:28] <schnuffle1> civixier:  you know how to open a terminal?
[14:28] <DrGrov> Pici: Ok, that seems pretty easy. How about the resolution? Can I use the Startup Manager that is in the Ubuntu Software Center?
[14:28] <repgahroll> from terminal, i can run " xinit & "; however, when i put it on a script called from ~/.profile, it doesn't work. athough, if i remove the & from the script it works... what's wrong?
[14:28] <civixier> schnuffle1: yea :) is it in apt-get? whats it called?
[14:28] <gunndawg> where do you download plymouth themes
[14:28] <SkilZ> oops
[14:28] <Fuco> Fuchs, however, that changes the look a bit. They are now metalic and not the orange/dark as before. But I guess all I have to change is "metacity" (that'd be the name of skin?)
[14:29] <SkilZ> I accidently done grep LOTR /usr/share/calendar/calendar.history, how do I undo it?
[14:29] <schnuffle1> civixier: yes: do a sudo aptitude search libcrypto
[14:29] <Fuchs> Fuco: no, metacity is the window manager, you don't really want to change that
[14:29] <sjskanth> unable to enable intel driver,  Im using 82845g/gl card
[14:29] <Fuco> ah
[14:29] <Fuco> what then? :P
[14:29] <Fuchs> Fuco: it should not have changed the appearance
[14:29] <Clavin12> So my ubuntu upgrade has been taking days and the computer might as well be hung, although I can still move the mouse I cannot even open a terminal. What should I do?
[14:30] <gunndawg> Is there a place to download plymouth themes ?
[14:30] <Fuchs> Fuco: check  gnome-appearance-settings
[14:30] <civixier> schnuffle1: sec, I didnt have aptitude installed :)
[14:30] <schnuffle1> Clavin12:  Press Crtl+Alt+F1 to get to the console
[14:30] <diabolicalone> Question about the lamp package installed. I just reinstalled the package via Tasksel, I had been using the lamp package via tasksel that i installed long ago. However this time upon install extensions such as Curl, were not included I do understand they are different versions but why are they not included this time around, Secondly where do you got the curl extensions and the missing others
[14:30] <hemisphere> wow... I made a bash script onto the usb stick to run the jar file and it couldn't have the execution rights too
[14:30] <Fuco> Fuchs, if that's a command, it's not found
[14:31] <Pici> DrGrov: yes.
[14:31] <bazhang> gunndawg, apt-cache search plymouth turns up a few
[14:31] <hemisphere> what are the recent updates to ubuntu that causes all these changes ?
[14:31] <sjskanth> how to enable intel driver, Im using 82845g/gl card ..xlog says no device detected
[14:31] <badpenguin86> how can i reset ALL the setting of plymouth?
[14:31] <Clavin12> Yes! A console.
[14:31] <DrGrov> Pici: Great, so the resolution from there and first that line you suggested :)
[14:31] <DrGrov> Pici: This is great news, thank you :)
[14:32] <Fuchs> Fuco: it is the one you can also reach via the settings menu. Use this, then.
[14:32] <vrubium> #join ubuntu
[14:32] <gunndawg> bazhang is there a site I look at them and download them ?
[14:32] <vrubium> #join chakra
[14:33] <Fuco> Fuchs, you mean the "appearence preferences" dialog?
[14:33] <pwrusr> would gnome-look.org be a place to start ??
[14:33] <Fuchs> Fuco: yes
[14:33] <Fuco> what there
[14:33] <schnuffle1> diabolicalone: sudo aptitude install curl
[14:33] <sjskanth> how to enable intel driver, Im using 82845g/gl card?
[14:33] <Fuco> wait, nevermind
[14:33] <Fuco> tried it again, it works
[14:34] <Fuco> @_@ thanks for your time
[14:34] <bazhang> sjskanth, patience please dont repeat so often
[14:34] <DrGrov> Pici: First use the commands the kind bot posted and then first use startup manager, in that order? Correct?
[14:34] <Pici> DrGrov: Sure.
[14:34] <DrGrov> Pici: That is not too convincing though LOl
[14:34] <DrGrov> Pici: I am a bit suspicious but nah, I got time to reinstall :D :)
[14:34] <civixier> schnuffle1: ah, tried another version of hamachi, tried to install the 32bit version. thanks for leading me to that conclusion :)
[14:35] <schnuffle1> civixier: your welcome
[14:35] <diabolicalone> schnuffle actually it is php5-curl but again why the stripped down package
[14:35] <schnuffle1> diabolicalone: no idea :)?
[14:36] <schnuffle1> diabolicalone: never used taskselect as I prefer only installing what  I need
[14:36] <diabolicalone> schnuffle1: such simple extensions are not included that once were, none of which are marked as unsafe or depecriated
[14:37] <diabolicalone> schnuffle like header redirects ugh
[14:37] <Clavin12> Schnuffle1: So I got a login prompt, and I typed my username and hit enter expecting a password prompt, but I haven't got one.
[14:37] <xiaoyuan> yourenma
[14:37] <DrGrov> Pici: Thanks for your kind help :)

[14:56] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I don't think I'm going to be able to set that up right now
[14:56] <Pici> !u | juniour
[14:56] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, ssh that is
[14:56] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: still no passwd prompt?
[14:56] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, nope
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> Login theme you have is probably for an older gdm. You can only currently o
[14:56] <sjskanth> junior: works well with VESA but no 3d accel...so trying to enable intel driver
[14:56] <A__J> how is gftp ?
[14:57] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, btw the computer is free from any documents I might want preserved.
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Only set wallpaper and login box colour
[14:57] <remink> schnuffle1, with that : convert $img -resize 721x721 -quality 100 $folder_converted'basename $img ppm'.jpg
[14:57] <Fuco> Is there a way to add a panel object to a panel other then "Add to panel" option when rightclicking? I have downloaded mintmenu, I can start it via shell (using mintmenu), but it's not in the "Add to panel" menu. :(
[14:57] <gunndawg> I dont know how to download these themes off this site you sent me, lol
[14:57] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, so I can do possibly destructive things.
[14:57] <remink> schnuffle1, I've all my jpg but there are as : basename $img ppm-0.jpg basename $img ppm-1.jpg basename $img ppm-2.jpg
[14:57] <A__J> is it better than filezilla ?
[14:57] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Strange, do Strg+Alt+F2 and try again to login, don't use root as login as it doesn't have a password set
[14:57] <gunndawg> nevermind
[14:57] <remink> schnuffle1, Better but not perfect :)
[14:58] <juniour> sjskanth k
[14:58] <A__J> any1 ?
[14:58] <Clavin12> schnuffle, strg?
[14:58] <Pici> A__J: Why don't you try them yourself and see?
[14:58] <ikonia> gunndawg: you've used linux for several years and you can't download a file ?
[14:58] <juniour> in list you cant see any driver
[14:58] <schnuffle1> remink: it was just an example for you to sort out your errors
[14:58] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Ctrl
[14:58] <remink> schnuffle1, I haven't used your code
[14:58] <Clavin12> schnuffle, ah.
[14:58] <juniour> sjskanth in hardware driver you cant see ant thing
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: search for: change lucid login theme. You want the maketecheasier link
[14:58] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: On german keyborad it's called Strg :)
[14:59] <Clavin12> schnuffle, I see
[14:59] <juniour> sjskanth wt the message you r getting there
[14:59] <bcurtiswx_> is there a firefox 4 PPA thats NOT the mozilla daily PPA /
[14:59] <sjskanth> junior:http://paste.ubuntu.com/559544/ pls see the error i get in xlog during boot
[14:59] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, I downloaded a them but its a .exe file
[14:59] <Clavin12> schnuffle, surprisingly responsive, but still no password prompt
[14:59] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, surprisingly responsive, but still no password prompt
[14:59] <oCean> bcurtiswx_: silverwave @ LP
[14:59] <oCean> bcurtiswx_: is monthly
[14:59] <ikonia> gunndawg: the themes are not .exe files
[15:00] <gunndawg> ikonia ok
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: once you set it there is one final command to run or it will always bother you
[15:00] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, and there is no delay when typing
[15:00] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Your system seems really broken then
[15:00] <A_J> Does Filezilla Support Pausing of Transfers ?
[15:00] <bazhang> A_J, check their homepage?
[15:00] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, well the update is still going behind the scenes
[15:00] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I thinl
[15:00] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Okay hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to your graphic session
[15:00] <oCean> gunndawg: on these links from gnome-look.org are installation instructions AND a download button.. (for example http://goo.gl/zqfai)
[15:01] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip ok I have the .7z file of it, but no clue what to do with it
[15:01] <juniour> Calvin12 wt the prob you are having
[15:01] <ikonia> gunndawg: show me the URL you got that file from
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: sounds like a windows file. You sure its for ubuntu?
[15:01] <A_J> well ?
[15:01] <Pici> A_J: Well what?
[15:01] <gunndawg> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Crunchy+Branch+-+Plymouth+%26+Usplash?content=102489
[15:02] <schnuffle1> juniour: he has a update running that blocks his pc
[15:02] <bazhang> A_J, check their homepage?
[15:02] <juniour> sjskanth how you get that error
[15:02] <bcurtiswx_> oCean, thx
[15:02] <jdeslaur_> a_j: you could try installing it and testing it
[15:02] <ikonia> gunndawg: that is a usplash file
[15:02] <gunndawg> :(
[15:02] <gunndawg> well im tryin to get thise theme, lol
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: install p7zip-full and p7zip-rar and you can extract it
[15:02] <juniour> wt?
[15:02] <sjskanth> iunior: it just boots into text mode and when i see the log i find this
[15:03] <oCean> ikonia: gunndawg and plymouth too
[15:03] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, I need both of those or just one of those, I just want a new log in theme :(
[15:03] <sjskanth> Junior: If I enble VESA driver it boots inot GUI
[15:03] <ikonia> gunndawg: it also downloads a deb file - not  a 7z file
[15:03] <juniour> sjskant k
[15:03] <juniour> k
[15:03] <juniour> then wt?
[15:03] <ikonia> gunndawg: I suggest you actually read the text on the web page your using
[15:03] <bazhang> gunndawg, I told you there are some in the package manager some 45 minutes ago, did you investigate?
[15:03] <juniour> schnuffle1 i dident get the prob
[15:03] <juniour> ?
[15:03] <oCean> juniour: can you use complete words please?
[15:03] <juniour> tell me again in brief
[15:04] <gunndawg> bazhang, send it again please, I was occupied
[15:04] <martian> Is there a way to limit the amount of memory a specific user may use in total?
[15:04] <schnuffle1> juniour: you asked Clavin12 for his problem, I gave you the answer
[15:04] <sjskanth> But no video acceleration with VESA driver so cannot run any full screen videos
[15:04] <juniour> oCean k
[15:04] <bazhang> gunndawg, check the package manager , using plymouth as a search term.
[15:05] <bubuzzz> for vim fans: http://inspiration.sweyla.com/code/
[15:05] <gunndawg> Thank you bazhang, and sorry for being a pest, just new and learning :(
[15:05] <bazhang> bubuzzz, offtopic here please dont
[15:05] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, ok so now I have nothing, just a black screen
[15:05] <A_J> ok bazhang  will do
[15:05] <A_J> i got my live cd
[15:05] <A_J> brb is a bit
[15:05] <FloodBot3> A_J: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[15:05] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, and now a mouse
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Gun
[15:05] <Pici> gunndawg: The login theme is not powered by plymouth.  Plymouth only controls the boot up screen. The login screen itself is controlled by GDM.
[15:06] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, keyboard troubles? :)
[15:06] <juniour> clavin12 while updating your pc blocks
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[15:06] <gunndawg> Pici, so are there login screen themes ?
[15:06] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, and now the graphical display
[15:06] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, ok I'm back
[15:06] <ikonia> gunndawg: in ubuntu 10.X the gdm theme is locked
[15:06] <ikonia> gunndawg: it's more realistic at your level to accept the gdm theme
[15:06] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: if you can't login on the console, I have no idea how to get your system back working, sorry
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: LG GT540 is rubbish at irc on a coach
[15:07] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, :)
[15:07] <sjskanth> Junior: did u see the xlog error (EE) no device detected
[15:07] <gunndawg> Ikoia why do you say that? I am just trying to customize and personalize my ubuntu apperance
[15:07] <microm> how do I specifically get cairo-1.10.2 with apt-get?
[15:08] <ikonia> gunndawg: I said that because it's the truth, the theme is locked, and with the ability you're showing, it is more realisitc to accept the gdm theme
[15:08] <juniour> ya
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: i told you how to get that link earlier but looks like i had to get it for you eh
[15:08] <schnuffle1> gunndawg: he fears that you end up with a totally corrutped system
[15:08] <ikonia> schnuffle1: no I don't, please don't speak for me
[15:08] <gunndawg> well fair enough
[15:09] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, what does it mean when an individual window dims?
[15:09] <schnuffle1> ikonia: sorry
[15:09] <gunndawg> I just figured I could customize my login screen and such with no trouble, wasnt trying to act like a ubuntu elitist
[15:09] <obscurant1st> and btw i had installed KDE and now i revreted back to gnome, but still the screen just before login screen shows Kubuntu, what to do with that?
[15:09] <gunndawg> just trying to customize some apperances
[15:09] <bazhang> gunndawg, pardon?
[15:09] <juniour> sjskant i am not getting the exact problem you are facing
[15:09] <royale1223> what do you think about installing gnome 3 in 10.10? what are the risks?
[15:09] <Pici> gunndawg: Unfortunately its not trivial to customize the gdm theme at this point.
[15:09] <martian> microm: check out man apt-get in the 'install' section a page or two down
[15:10] <gunndawg> bazhang, what ?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: you can tell when I'm on it cos i do a word every 2 seconds or so. Frustration galore
[15:10] <Da|Mummy> over the last few weeks, ive installed ubuntu about 5 times, and another windows once, now the only OS that i have installed is ubuntu, but when im still booting up the pc, i see the options to choose from 3 ubuntus and one windows, how do i get rid of all the OS i cant user anymore from bootmenu?
[15:10] <schnuffle1> obscurant1st: replace kdm with gdm
[15:10] <gunndawg> bazhang, I am simply asking how to customize a few apperances on my system, figured I would ask here, what is the trouble ?
[15:10] <bazhang> gunndawg, the elitist comment
[15:10] <sjskanth> Junior: when i try to enable the intel driver system boots only into text mode because of the error seen in http://paste.ubuntu.com/559544/
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: the link i gave gives some customization
[15:11] <martian> Da|Mummy: this may be of help to you: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick#Use_Startup_Manager_to_change_Grub_settings
[15:11] <DhaniJeremy> hi
[15:11] <Da|Mummy> thx
[15:11] <obscurant1st> schnuffle: i did that!
[15:11] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip, thank you
[15:11] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: run this and pastebin yhe output.. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[15:12] <obscurant1st> dpkg-reconfigure gm and selecting gdm will do that right?
[15:12] <obscurant1st> i hv done that already
[15:12] <martian> Is there a way to limit the amount of memory a specific user may use in total?
[15:12] <goltoof> any other default disc burning utilities that come installed by default?
[15:12] <juniour> sjskanth i see the ee device not detected
[15:13] <goltoof> besides brasero?
[15:13] <martian> goltoof: Seems only logical to install only one by default, no?
[15:13] <goltoof> can't install any right now, nad brasero craps out
[15:13] <sjskanth> Junior: what could be the reason
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> gunndawg: its on the screen for mere seconds. I wouldnt sweat it too much unless you are really bored
[15:13] <royale1223> what do you think about installing gnome 3 in 10.10? what are the risks?
[15:13] <goltoof> martian:  indeed.. just wondering if something else would do the trick
[15:13] <juniour> sjskanth i dont know the reason
[15:14] <juniour> sjskant you are in text mode now
[15:14] <sjskanth> No in GUI using VESA driver
[15:14] <juniour> k
[15:14] <juniour> try
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: not by default. You could install gnomebaker or xfburn
[15:14] <juniour> sudo apt-get update
[15:15] <juniour> and sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:15] <gunndawg> ActionParsnip was that address: http://marketcheasier.com/change-login-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[15:15] <juniour>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/559544/
[15:15] <Sharpclaw> Hiya all! Say, is there a way to get Ubuntu's iso without having to wait 3 hours?
[15:15] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, http://pastebin.com/bdYDky7R
[15:15] <izinucs> goltoof: k3b work very well too
[15:15] <juniour> sjskant try the above command in terminal
[15:15] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  i like k3b.. can't install anything right now, admin directory is locked, and don't want to reboot
[15:15] <sjskanth> Junior: done that totally updated
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> Gunnhttp://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[15:15] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, well this is interesting.
[15:15] <joeoshawa> sharpclaw faster connection?
[15:16] <juniour> Sharpclaw if valibe take it from friend
[15:16] <schnuffle1> obscurant1st: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
[15:16] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I forced it to power down, thinking it would destroy it, but it booted fine.
[15:16] <juniour> Sharpclaw you have to download it
[15:16] <goltoof> how would i go about finding and killing whatever is locking admin dir?  i asked this before to no avail
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: with all those Qt deps? May as well use Kubuntu
[15:16] <Rodensky> hello. how do i disable auto case-change in libreoffice?
[15:16] <Sharpclaw> No faster connection and I'm giving it to a friend. LOL.
[15:16] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: Perfect, lucky man
[15:17] <obscurant1st> schnuffle: it shows no alternatives
[15:17] <obscurant1st> :(
[15:17] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, yup
[15:17] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  sorry?  think that was for someone else..
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: try lsof and grep the output
[15:17] <joeoshawa> you could have a disk mailed to you if your in the states
[15:17] <joeoshawa> but that would take longer
[15:17] <gunndawg> Thank you ActionParnsip
[15:18] <Sharpclaw> And torrents are no faster...
[15:18] <joeoshawa> torrents are slower i find
[15:18] <Rodensky> PLZ. It's urgent... How do I disable auto case-change in libreoffice?
[15:18] <kibibyte> i have questin, i want restric acess t ssh only fr 2 users: but i doesnt work in sshd_config :
[15:18] <kibibyte> DenyUsers<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:18] <kibibyte> AllowUsers<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:18] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  what should I grep?
[15:18] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, so how might I go about updating distros from the command line?
[15:18] <kibibyte> i cannt login as dester r developer why ?
[15:18] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: you just pasted the script
[15:18] <izinucs> I've found ubuntu torrents to be extreemly fast.. total download time typically 10-15 minutes
[15:18] <kibibyte> i cannot login as tester or developer why ?
[15:18] <benjamin2> hi
[15:18] <martian> Rodensky: this room is more focused on ubuntu as an operating system, not minor features of software it carries
[15:19] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: run it and paste output
[15:19] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: I prefer doing it on the console, do as you want
[15:19] <Sharpclaw> 10-15 minutes? Where from?!
[15:19] <schnuffle1> Clavin12:  sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[15:19] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, thanks!
[15:19] <joeoshawa> maybe its my router or something torrents are never fast here i been trying to fix that
[15:19] <genii-around> kibibyte: Your first rule automatically excludes the next rule
[15:20] <joeoshawa> port forwarded and everything
[15:20] <kibibyte> genii-around, but deny is first and allow is second
[15:20] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, this is even more interesting. Under about ubuntu it tells me i'm using 11.04 natty narwhall
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: k3b is a KDE app so will need tonnes of Qt packages to run as well as the packages they need and so on. This adds a tonne of extra data to your OS and for something as trivial as a CD burner
[15:20] <izinucs> Sharpclaw: by using the torrent from ubuntu.com and then transmission... whatever the default is.. but then I have a pretty speedy internet cable connection.. dl speeds of 3m+
[15:20] <kibibyte> it should deny all, then allow some
[15:20] <gunndawg> ActionParnsip, before I read this site, does this work with 10.10? so far it discusses 10.03
[15:20] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  ah, good to know
[15:20] <gunndawg> 10.04*
[15:20] <genii-around> kibibyte: It's first match wins
[15:20] <schnuffle1> Clavin12: So you didn't upgrade to maverick but to 11.04
[15:21] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  I'll stop recommending it to people then :p
[15:21] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, Apparently
[15:21] <Fuco> How can I add applet to the panel *other then* using Add to panel dialog (the applet is not present there...) alternatively, how can I make it appear in the Add to panel dialog?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: think about what lsof does, then what grep does
[15:21] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, at least the about ubuntu dialogue did
[15:22] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, my bad, here it is http://pastebin.com/wkK0f3rv
[15:22] <goltoof> ActionParsnip: think I'll google what they do instead, that often yields better results than thinking, for me at least
[15:22] <juniour> ActionParsnip lfos-> list of open files
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: if you grep for the file or folder you are interested in you can see the locking app and/or PID
[15:23] <daeda1us> hi there... about to make the big change over to ubuntu from win7. 32bit or 64?
[15:23] <Da|Mummy> 32bit
[15:23] <Sharpclaw> GTG. Firefox is being cranky! THX.
[15:23] <daeda1us> any reasons for this :D
[15:23] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I am now performing a partial upgrade as recommended by the update manager
[15:23] <Da|Mummy> i made the mistake of trying 64, too many things not working right
[15:23] <martian> Da|Mummy: like?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> Juniour: exactly
[15:23] <Da|Mummy> main ones for me were wine and flash
[15:23] <Clavin12> schnuffle1, I think I can take it from here now. Thanks!
[15:23] <schnuffle1> Clavin12:  your welcome
[15:23] <daeda1us> yeah, i'll be needing wine for a few games
[15:24] <goltoof> ActionParsnip: and why are there so many?
[15:24] <Aikar> im having a weird issue installing ubuntu to my laptop. i booted from cd and got the little keyboard = man icon at bottom same as desktop, then screen goes black, and its staying black even though i hear cd spinning up and down. been black for like 15 mins
[15:24] <Aikar> any ideas?
[15:24] <Da|Mummy> it works for some stuff, bit ive had trouble with wine and 64bit
[15:24] <daeda1us> i'll stick to 32bit for the time being then
[15:24] <bazhang> Aikar, md5 the iso? burn at low speeds then do the disk integrity check?
[15:25] <bazhang> !md5 | Aikar
[15:25] <karlo94> my head-phone-microphone do not work, but the head-phones work, and speakers works to, anybody know how I can fix that, I tryed alsamixer..
[15:25] <martian> Aikar: you may want to do some research into installing linux on that laptop. Is it older? It may need some special kernel options or something in order to run linux.
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> daeda1us: what is the main use of the system? How much RAM is available? What CPU are you using?
[15:25] <Aikar> bazhang: installed with exact same disc on desktop last night
[15:25] <Aikar> worked fine
[15:25] <goltoof> ActionParsnip: so many open files, what exactly qualifies as an open file?
[15:25] <bazhang> Aikar, check the bootoptions then
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: its an OS so a lot of files are used
[15:25] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, got anything?
[15:26] <schnuffle1> goltoof:  nearly everything is a file in unix
[15:26] <Aikar> how would i do that? it boots from cd and thats it...
[15:26] <Aikar> i dont get an option to do anthing
[15:26] <bazhang> Aikar, well then you may wish to try the alternate installer
[15:26] <daeda1us> ActionParsnip: the main use of the system is general web browsing and gaming... available ram is 4gb... cpu is an old core 2 quad q6600
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: an open file is one being used by a thread
[15:27] <bazhang> Aikar, presumably this is the live cd you are referring to
[15:27] <Aikar> no
[15:27] <martian> Aikar: Is it an older laptop? Have you tried searching the web to see if others have had trouble installing linux on the same machine?
[15:27] <Aikar> not really, its an i5
[15:27] <g0blin> disconnect
[15:27] <Aikar> dell latitude E6410
[15:27] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  yes, but there's a difference between open and non open files... ActionParsnip:  I know what lsof and grep do, but what do i grep to determine what's locking the admin directory?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> daeda1us: that's about 400 times faster than all my CPUs combined
[15:28] <Aikar> http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/fix-dell-latitude-e6410-black-screen-during-ubuntu-10-04-installation.html  looks relevant
[15:29] <daeda1us> ActionParsnip: hehe, what would you recommend? always nice to get a second opinion
[15:29] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: you are using 10.10 arent you?
[15:29] <obscurant1st> somebody pls tell me! i had installed KDE and now i revreted back to gnome, but still the screen just before login screen shows Kubuntu, what to do with that?
[15:29] <Da|Mummy> yes
[15:29] <martian> Aikar: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+dell+latitude+E6410&l=1
[15:29] <schnuffle1> goltoof:  lsof | grep /admin/dir/
[15:29] <bazhang> martian, dont do that here. Period.
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> daeda1us: if its simple web browsing and such 32bit will be fine. I'd install the PAE kernel so you can upgrade easily if you buy more RAM
[15:29] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  that's all i needed
[15:30] <microm> I need to get this version of cairo to fix a critical bug https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/1.10.2-1ubuntu1
[15:30] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  thanks for a straight forward answer
[15:30] <daeda1us> ActionParsnip, 4gb the max RAM for 32bit?
[15:30] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, only one of those ubuntus on there should work right now, ive formatted the hdd since but those still show up and i want to get rid of them, and i also dont have any windows on there either
[15:30] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  but nada  :(
[15:30] <microm> I tried different apt-get install cairo=1.10.2, apt-get install cairo_1.20.2, but I must be doing something wrong
[15:31] <martian> bazhang: I see no harm and it shows people how simple it is
[15:31] <schnuffle1> goltoof: what is the admin dir? do you mean /root?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: if there was no difference between open and closed files, lsof wouldn't exist
[15:31] <bazhang> martian, its not acceptable. Don't do it again.
[15:31] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: which ubuntu release are you using?
[15:31] <martian> I feel it is acceptable. Period.
[15:31] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  i appreciate you lessons, but I'm really just looking for a straight forward answer here... not... just nevermind dude
[15:31] <Da|Mummy> 10.10 maverick
[15:31] <joeoshawa> is there a way to have a torrent application randomly switch ports every so often
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Microm: is that version available to you?
[15:32] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  the admin dir is locked, so i can't install anything
[15:32] <microm> ActionParsnip: how do I know if the version is available to me?
[15:32] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  if i find what's locking it then i can isntall stuff, right?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | goltoof
[15:32] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, 10.10 maverick
[15:33] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  i figure this is a common issue, not getting why i can't get a straight forward answer here
[15:33] <fmax30> Is it jsut me or are ubuntu forums down
[15:33] <fmax30> and also i am unable to download any packages the links are dead with sudo apt-get
[15:33] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, most torrent clients reannounce / refresh the the trackersevery 30mins or so
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Microm: apt-cache policy packagename
[15:33] <schnuffle1> goltoof: bevause you ask the wrong question or I'm to stupid to figure out what you mean :)
[15:33] <A_J> bazhang,
[15:33] <A_J> Gpart worked
[15:33] <kartik> hi
[15:34] <A_J> i partioned my HDD, thanks for all your help <3
[15:34] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: addthese lines to the end of the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[15:34] <bazhang> A_J, good
[15:34] <microm> ActionParsnip: unable to locate package cairo... hummmm...
[15:34] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: http://pastebin.com/i00cWh0g
[15:34] <fmax30> Is it just me ? anyone?
[15:34] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  now we're getting closer getting closer! :)
[15:34] <joeoshawa> the reason i am asking is because my isp throttles torrents and if i can randomly switch ports it will allow me to bypass the throttling
[15:34] <schnuffle1> !ask | fmax30
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: i made ubottu give the fix. All you had to
[15:34] <goltoof> goltoof:  dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:34] <joeoshawa> i don't care about the tracker
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Mention was not able to install anything
[15:35] <fmax30> Is it just me or are ubuntu forums down and also apt-get is saying the links are down
[15:35] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  which i did to begin with
[15:35] <bazhang> fmax30, cant log in? or totally down
[15:35] <dr_Willis> Many torrent client can randomize ports. And encrypt all traffic
[15:35] <eternal> ubuntu users are so stupid. we need to kill them right now. they are crap
[15:35] <fmax30> totally down
[15:35] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: to edit 40_custom run "sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom" in terminal
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: missed it, sorry
[15:36] <bazhang> eternal, thats not appropriate here.
[15:36] <oCean> eternal: no need for that here
[15:36] <A_J> eternal, lol  ?
[15:36] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  it's easy to miss these details when answering other peoples questions... i'm not offended by your philanthropy
[15:36] <joeoshawa> he is a troll he just joined like 10 seconds ago
[15:36] <joeoshawa> boot him and get it over with
[15:36] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, then just add everything thats in pastebin?
[15:36] <fmax30> server not found.
[15:36] <bazhang> joeoshawa, lets move on please
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: no worries dude
[15:36] <A_J> except filezilla any1 recommend me anything else
[15:36] <goltoof> ActionParsnip: /var/lib/dpkg/lock:  root      11056 F.... dpkg    Kill process 11056 ? (y/N) y    dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:36] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, , you can set the ports for different apps on like torrent clients on your your router , by giving a port range ..best to keep them above 50K , 50100 to 50120 for example
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: pushing for the gold
[15:37] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: yes, add to the end, dont delete the existing lines
[15:37] <Fuco> Is there any common reason for audio/video to jump back and forth while playing? Like when a phonograph skips the groove?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> Goltoof: say yes
[15:37] <Fuco> The same thing happened on Mint, so I've tried reinstall to ubuntu
[15:37] <nijabo> Hmm is there some way to get in contact with devs about ideas?
[15:37] <Fuco> but it is still happening
[15:37] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  yes?
[15:38] <eternal> stupid people
[15:38] <b0ot> How would I edit my menuentrys to add an external harddrive partition?
[15:38] <joeoshawa> and that will cause it to randomly change every say 3-4 minutes or whatever
[15:38] <fmax30> I now know why apt is not working, i have to update. But why are the forums down for me .
[15:38] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  how do i check what else is using 11056 ?
[15:38] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  pstree?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Nijabo: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[15:38] <major_> anybody knows something to autoarrange windows vertically or any other arrange?
[15:38] <schnuffle1> fmax30:  broken dns
[15:38] <nijabo> Cheers ActionParsnip :)
[15:38] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, , why may I ask do you want to do this ?
[15:39] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, than just save file and exit?
[15:39] <goltoof> !aptfix  > goltoof
[15:39] <fmax30> scnuffle: google and everything is alright
[15:39] <joeoshawa> to bypass throttling
[15:39] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: then run sudo chmod -x 00_header        10_linux      20_memtest86+  40_custom  README
[15:39] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: ignore previous message
[15:39] <joeoshawa> i get a great connection but my isp throttles it back
[15:39] <Da|Mummy> ...?
[15:40] <joeoshawa> even tho i pay for a great connection
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> Goltoof: the number is the pid of the process locking the packages. Its also offering to kill it which you should
[15:40] <schnuffle1> fmax30: you can resolve ubuntuforums.org? like a ping ubuntuforums.org
[15:40] <gunndawg> man after following these instructions I still cant figure out how to change the login screen wallpaper
[15:40] <francesco_> hello everyone
[15:40] <major_> goltoof, if 11056 its a process --> $ lsof -p 11056
[15:40] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, don't think just changing ports will help
[15:40] <jon_athon> anyone know a really really light IMAP client?
[15:40] <fmax30> scnuffle: nope
[15:40] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: yep
[15:40] <francesco_> #ciao
[15:40] <AbhiJit> gunndawg, easiest way - use ubuntu tweak
[15:41] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  tried that;   dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:41] <francesco_> someone can help me pls?
[15:41] <goltoof> major_:  thanks!
[15:41] <gunndawg> AbhiJit how do I get Ubuntu Tweak /
[15:41] <joeoshawa> my isp detects the torrent on a say port 5461 and starts throttling
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> Goltoof: after, run: sudo apt-get -f install   so you know all is well
[15:41] <AbhiJit> gunndawg, from their web site.
[15:41] <gunndawg> AbhiJit, thanks
[15:41] <mbeierl> joeoshawa: typically isps do not track the individual port number used when throttling.  that would be extremely sophisticated and we all know how lazy they are.  they are throttling you based on udp I'll bet, therefore changing ports won't help you
[15:41] <joeoshawa> so if when they start throttling i switch to 5679 then it gets past it
[15:41] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: now cd to /etc/grub.d
[15:42] <AbhiJit> gunndawg, http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[15:42] <schnuffle1> fmax30: that means you can't ping ubuntuforums.org? does it show the IP(<IP_ADDRESS>)? do a tracert ubuntuforums.org
[15:42] <joeoshawa> so your answer is i dont want to help thanks great forum you got here
[15:42] <goltoof> major_  ActionParsnip:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/559559/
[15:42] <fmax30> no
[15:43] <fmax30> now that i have checked it, i cant even open ubuntu.com
[15:43] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, ok im there
[15:43] <fmax30> 0.0
[15:43] <joeoshawa> i know it works cause i know people doing it in windows
[15:43] <francesco_> #ubuntu-it-doc
[15:43] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: run "sudo chmod -x 00_header 10_linux 20_memtest86+ e 20_linux_xen 30_os-prober 41_custom"
[15:43] <francesco_> can you help me please?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: if nobody knows. Do you expect 1000+ people to say "no"
[15:43] <A_J|Unix> damn sorry
[15:43] <francesco_> lol
[15:44] <A_J|Unix> any1, answered my last question
[15:44] <francesco_> so
[15:44] <francesco_> im a noob
[15:44] <major_> goltoof, i dont really know what your problem is, i just saw you wanted to see what was blocking that process
[15:44] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  that would be awesome though :)
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: please get a new attitude
[15:44] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: then "sudo chmod +x 40_custom"
[15:44] <francesco_> and i don't know how to change the channel. how can i do it?
[15:44] <goltoof> major_:  can't install anything because admin dir is locked
[15:44] <joeoshawa> no i don't expect people to say it won't help
[15:44] <kartik> hi
[15:44] <A_J|Unix> FTP app which supports Pausing Transfers ?
[15:44] <joeoshawa> when they don't know
[15:44] <goltoof> major_:  usually i just reboot, but i know i shouldn't have to
[15:44] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: then "sudo update-grub"
[15:44] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, chmod: cannot access `e': No such file or directory
[15:44] <Da|Mummy>  <-wth?
[15:44] <royale1223> and reboot
[15:45] <A_J|Unix> any1
[15:45] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, most IPs throttle the default torrent clien ports like 6881-6889, so using ports above 50,000 - 65535
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> Goltoof: its totally unfeasible and would make the channel not function
[15:45] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: my mistake correction run "sudo chmod -x 00_header 10_linux 20_memtest86+  20_linux_xen 30_os-prober 41_custom"
[15:45] <schnuffle1> francesco_:  /jopiin #ubuntu-it to get the italian channel for example
[15:45] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  i know, but it'd definitely get the message across
[15:46] <schnuffle1> francesco_:  /join
[15:46] <major_> goltoof, $ lsof +d /directory/you/want/to/check
[15:46] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, done thx will test now
[15:46] <francesco_> thank you
[15:46] <A_J|Unix> bazhang, FTP App which supports Pausing Transfers
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: then take silence to mean "the current users don't know" and ask later, like a mature person would
[15:46] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: you're welcome
[15:47] <fmax30> schnuffel:any idea what could be wrong ?
[15:47] <schnuffle1> goltoof: kill -9 11056, gets you rid of the process blocking
[15:47] <joeoshawa> that's not what they said
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> Peace out kids
[15:47] <schnuffle1> fmax30: can you reach your router?
[15:47] <A_J|Unix> ffs som1 help me
[15:47] <fmax30> yes
[15:47] <bazhang> A_J|Unix, what did you try? filezilla?
[15:47] <bazhang> A_J|Unix, watch the language
[15:47] <lonewolf> Hello everyone ! Is there a way through which I can know which should be running on my system and which should not ?
[15:47] <A_J|Unix> k
[15:47] <pulse00> can i get in troubles when setting getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBX_8888), or is this possible on all android devices?
[15:48] <A_J|Unix> sorry
[15:48] <joeoshawa> i have been looking at how my isp throttles and when you start a torrent its fine but after a time it gets throttled
[15:48] <schnuffle1> fmax30: and you can resolv the IP as well with  host ubuntu.com?
[15:48] <A_J|Unix> bazhang,  ur op here ?
[15:48] <fmax30> no
[15:48] <gunndawg> Ubuntu Tweaks seems pretty cool
[15:48] <joeoshawa> i know people who once throttling starts they switch ports and all is well but thats utorrent
[15:48] <mbeierl> joeoshawa: if you are expecting me to answer, you need to direct messages to me.  I am sorry I attempted to get a better understanding of what you are doing.  I am sorry that I cannot help.  Do it in Windows instead then if it works.  Use the technology that best fits
[15:48] <porros> server irc.saurik.com
[15:48] <porros> oops
[15:48] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  oooh.. kill -9,  sure that won't screw anything up since it's obviously being used by something?
[15:48] <bazhang> A_J|Unix, did you try filezilla? please specify what you have tried instead of repeating yourself
[15:49] <A_J|Unix> filezilla on windows did not support it
[15:49] <joeoshawa> i dont' use windows i don't have windows
[15:49] <joeoshawa> i don't steal
[15:49] <A_J|Unix> installing the unix version as we speak
[15:49] <joeoshawa> i use legal methods and what i do is legal where i am
[15:49] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo dpkg --configure -a   ....  tells me:   dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:49] <lonewolf> can anyone help ?
[15:49] <Da|Mummy> royale1223, it gave me a 'recordfail' error for some reason, but other than that everythings a-ok
[15:49] <fmax30> no, does this mean that i have been banned ?
[15:49] <A_J|Unix> lol^
[15:50] <joeoshawa> i am not interesting in getting a pirate copy of windows
[15:50] <AbhiJit> joeoshawa, http://abhijitnavale.blogspot.com/2010/08/why-vista-is-great.html
[15:51] <oCean> joeoshawa: AbhiJit please stay on topic in this channel
[15:51] <Da|Mummy> i think i just had my epiphany of how great linux is and how crappy windows is, i just rebooted in like 20 seconds
[15:51] <AbhiJit> oCean, yes
[15:51] <schnuffle1> goltoof: it will kill the process locking, have you a updater applet in the panel
[15:51] <schnuffle1> ?
[15:51] <Fuco> Is there any common reason for audio/video to jump back and forth while playing? Like when a phonograph skips the groove. The same thing happened on Mint, so I've tried reinstall to ubuntu, but it is still happening
[15:51] <Jon--> Any word when the Eclipse package will move from Galileo to Hellios?
[15:51] <BluesKaj> mbeierl, joeoshawa is compalianing aout ISP port throttling , he thinks windows torrent clients can auto matically change ports every few minutes to prevent ISP throttling , which to me is a lot of windows bull
[15:51] <royale1223> Da|Mummy: okay
[15:51] <fmax30> How do you if you have been banned ?
[15:51] <ikonia> fmax30: you are in #ubuntu - you are talking, you have not been banned
[15:51] <ikonia> !topic | fmax30
[15:51] <BluesKaj> !who | joeoshawa
[15:52] <Jon--> Any word when the Eclipse package will move from Galileo to Hellios?
[15:52] <fmax30> ikonia:i was talking about the ubuntu website/websites
[15:52] <ikonia> fmax30: you don't get banned from a website
[15:52] <joeoshawa> someone wrote a program to have utorrent switch ports every so often so the isp couldn't keep up i am simply asking if that is possible with say ktorrent or something
[15:52] <ikonia> joeoshawa: if you can script well enough, sure
[15:52] <fmax30> then why can i access anything with the word ubuntu init
[15:53] <fmax30> *not
[15:53] <nijabo> Woho submitted my idea
[15:53] <ikonia> fmax30: talk to your ISP
[15:53] <schnuffle1> fmax30: which browser?
[15:53] <fmax30> firefox and chrome
[15:53] <KM0201> fmax30: could be a filter set up in your router also.
[15:53] <joeoshawa> thank you an intelligent and thoughtful polite person thank you for your answer its greatly appreciated
[15:54] <fmax30> it only started happening after i updated today
[15:54] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, just set the ktorrent TCP port forwarding to above 50000 and you should be ok
[15:54] <goltoof> schnuffle1: kill -9 11056  didn't kill the process, still there and admin dir still locked
[15:55] <david234> I want to automatically encode wave files into MP3 files on my Ubuntu server. I read Ubuntu does not include mp3 because of licensing issues. How do I encode files into MP3 on my server and respect laws in Canada and the USA ?
[15:55] <KM0201> fmax30: that defies logic
[15:55] <Bipul`> whear is remote desktop option in ubuntu10.10
[15:55] <daeda1us> is there a software package for streaming media to an xbox 360?
[15:55] <joeoshawa> i appreciate that blueskaj but unfortunately my isp thought of that
[15:56] <KM0201> Bipul`: application/internet    and then to set it up is system/preferences
[15:56] <d4n1s> what is the help channel
[15:56] <ikonia> d4n1s: you're in it
[15:56] <Fuco> when I open /boot/grub/menu.lst it's empty? Is that normal?
[15:56] <KM0201> d4n1s: this one
[15:56] <nexes> david:234 Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure as a user you're able to use them legally.
[15:56] <Fuco> I want to add windows drive to the list
[15:56] <schnuffle1> goltoof: did you do sudo kill -9 11056?
[15:56] <fmax30> it just started working , now that was weird, but i think it might have been a temporary problem with my isp
[15:56] <KM0201> Fuco: are you using ubuntu 9.10 or later
[15:56] <ikonia> Fuco: ubuntu 10.X uses grub2 which uses /etc/grub.conf
[15:56] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  yes
[15:57] <nexes> david234: It's not like DeCSS, where you're violating the DMCA. mp3 licensing is..strange.
[15:57] <Fuco> 10.10
[15:57] <BluesKaj> david234, install ubuntu-restricted-extras for mp3 conversion
[15:57] <Fuco> thanks
[15:57] <KM0201> !grub2 | Fuco it doesn'tr eally work like grub-legcy used to.
[15:57] <joeoshawa> throttling is like a religion to isps incanada
[15:57] <dr_Willis> !grub2
[15:57] <nexes> david234: But you'll notice that Winamp and other free media players don't pay for mp3 licensing, only commercial, paid products and hardware.
[15:57] <KM0201> Fuco: you really shouldn't edit grub.conf
[15:57] <ikonia> joeoshawa: don't need to hear about it, why are not here to help you get past your ISP's rules
[15:57] <schnuffle1> goltoof: and what gives you: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[15:57] <Fuco> OK, let me see the tutorials then
[15:58] <david234> BluesKaj, nexes, the server is part of a commercial service.
[15:58] <Fuco> I've actually installed ubuntu *after* windows
[15:58] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, I see it here around 3pm to 6pm most weekdays ..I'm on Bell Canada dsl
[15:58] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  /var/lib/dpkg/lock:  root      11056 F.... dpkg
[15:58] <KM0201> Fuco: then grub2 should have picked up windows after you installed
[15:58] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  asks to kill it, etc
[15:58] <Fuco> well it starts ubuntu automatically, so I don't even see the list
[15:58] <Fuco> there is some timeout setting
[15:58] <nexes> david234: This may be relevant to you then: http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/
[15:58] <d4n1s> I try to compile a c source code linksys gave me on my ubuntu
[15:58] <schnuffle1> goltoof: the let it kill it
[15:58] <Fuco> I gues
[15:59] <d4n1s> I get into the folder with cd folder name
[15:59] <d4n1s> and type make
[15:59] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  the etc meaning... yes to kill it, can't database unlocked, etc..
[15:59] <d4n1s> but I get many errors
[15:59] <nexes> david234: If you're not specifically tethered to mp3 for some reason and just need an audio codec, I would also suggest ogg, naturally. :)
[15:59] <KM0201> Fuco: if you aren't seeing a grub menu, then it didn't pick up Windows... it skips by default if ubuntu is the only OS
[15:59] <fmax30> how do you get back to graphics mode after you press ctrl+alt+f9 ttymode or something
[15:59] <Fuco> yea, so I have to add it somehow
[15:59] <schnuffle1> fmax30: Ctrl-Alt+F7
[15:59] <oCean> fmax30: ctrl-alt-f7 is gui
[15:59] <d4n1s> What am I doing wron?
[16:00] <d4n1s> wrong\
[16:00] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  wait, now it tells me db not locked
[16:00] <fmax30> ty
[16:00] <joeoshawa> actually they throttle torrents 24/7 full connection throttling is during peak hours
[16:00] <ikonia> d4n1s: what are the errors ?
[16:00] <ikonia> d4n1s: (don't paste in here if there are more than 3 lines)
[16:00] <goltoof> schnuffle1:  but still can't install, admin dir still locked
[16:00] <Aethelrick> d4n1s, depends on what you're compiling, but usually you will want to run ./configure before you run make
[16:00] <joeoshawa> however i will take my issue somewhere else
[16:00] <BluesKaj> joeoshawa, which ISP ?
[16:00] <schnuffle1> goltoof: please paste the original error after you did sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[16:00] <joeoshawa> bell canada
[16:00] <joeoshawa> i checked
[16:00] <ikonia> BluesKaj: is it really an ubuntu issue to be discussed here ?
[16:00] <Aethelrick> d4n1s, also, make sure you have any required dependencies installed before you run make
[16:01] <d4n1s> Athelrick in the readme says that I have to do cd and then make
[16:01] <joeoshawa> there is bell and rogers all others feed off them
[16:01] <cdavis> What is a good console wifi scanner, I dont' want to sniff or anything, just something that will show me the strongest ssid in a console window
[16:01] <joeoshawa> so my options are limited
[16:01] <joeoshawa> the max i can torrent is 500 kps
[16:01] <KM0201> !info wifi-radar | cdavis
[16:01] <ikonia> joeoshawa: enough now please
[16:01] <d4n1s> gives me error codes 2 and 127
[16:01] <ikonia> joeoshawa: this channels for ubuntu support only
[16:02] <goltoof> schnuffle1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559565/
[16:02] <BluesKaj> hmm I dl'd ubuntu-server yesterday at full speed for my service
[16:02] <Encr9> Hi, how do you do multiple commands in CLI? I tried &&, no luck
[16:02] <d4n1s> when I try to ./configure it says no such file or directory
[16:02] <ikonia> d4n1s: what are you trying to build ?
