[15:06] <FoolsRun> neiliob1973: my guess is that your video drivers got screwed up and that X is failing to start
[15:07] <rek> topyli, both one day ,now just the 1st
[15:07] <rek> the 2nd topyli sorry
[15:07] <littlepenguin> the 2nd is fine with the tut i gave u rek
[15:07] <rek> in my home only...
[15:07] <rek> tut?
[15:07] <littlepenguin> the link i meant
[15:07] <rek> i need a software i think
[15:08] <Pici> rek: No you don't. Everything that you need to do that is already built in to Ubuntu,
[15:08] <topyli> rek: it's just basic windows sharing, ubuntu handles it out of the box
[15:09] <littlepenguin> yes topyli
[15:09] <raven> possible debootstrap with lubuntu?
[15:09] <littlepenguin> but maybe the driver is needed @topyli
[15:09] <rek> littlepenguin,  topyli Pici but if i want to use the printer when windows is down and my printer is connected throught my alice gate access point things are different i think
[15:10] <neiliob1973> FoolsRun, here's the error I get "** (gdm-binary:1760): WARNING ** Failed to acquire org.DisplayManager; could not acquire name; bailing out"
[15:10] <rek> however i'll try
[15:10] <littlepenguin> rek can you share th eprinter through the router=?
[15:10] <xckpd7> bye
[15:10] <xckpd7> whoops
[15:10] <neiliob1973> FoolsRun, that was run as SUDO
[15:10] <szonek> how can i check in script in which directory this script is?
[15:10] <rek> littlepenguin, with win-win i can do it yes...
[15:10] <topyli> rek: the windows box has to be running
[15:10] <sascha84> hallo kann mir jemand helfen???
[15:10] <rek> i've already done it
[15:11] <Pici> !de |  sascha84
[15:11] <topyli> rek: oh, the printer is actually connected to the router, not the windows box?
[15:11] <rek> windows discover that under alice gate there's a printer connected...
[15:11] <littlepenguin> rek maybe your router has the option to share the printer on the routers ip ..depends on modell and feature
[15:11] <FoolsRun> neiliob1973: what about without sudo?
[15:11] <littlepenguin> raven dunno if it works with lubuntu
[15:12] <neiliob1973> same error, but also tagged with "not allowed to own due to security policies in config file"
[15:12] <ebi> Hi all. I have a problem with xbmc-live which is based on ubuntu so I tought that's the best place to ask. If I try to change my X conf it's beeing reset as soon as I start X. I saw there is /etc/gdm which has XFailsafe so I removed that directory but still the config gets overwritten. Any other place I could look for?
[15:12] <rek> topyli, now it's connected to the win box however i'd like to connect it to the gate to use it even if win is down...
[15:13] <carod> There is a way to define constantes like (#define THIS) with g++ at compilation time?
[15:13] <rek> later i'll try if i can find it through the router
[15:13] <FoolsRun> What's that command that lets you reconfigure X from the command line? I always forget
[15:13] <rafael54> hello
[15:13] <rafael54> is there
[15:13] <rafael54> anyone
[15:13] <rafael54> ?
[15:13] <FloodBot3> rafael54: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:13] <neiliob1973> FoolsRun, is there any way to copy the drivers/files/etc from the LiveCD to a mounted HD, and make it work?
[15:13] <rafael54> online i mean
[15:13] <carod> just 1541 people haha
[15:13] <rek> rafael what was that
[15:13] <rafael54> ok
[15:13] <topyli> rek: ok, that's what i do in fact. my router runs samba and it works like a charm. not sure how your printer likes to do the sharing, but as a rule of thumb, it should work out of the box
[15:13] <Pici> carod: ##c++ would be a more appropriate channel.
[15:14] <carod> thanks you pici, I was lost :)
[15:14] <FoolsRun> neiliob1973: unlikely. I think you need to fix X and GDM
[15:14] <rek> what do you mean topyli that i can try to find it?
[15:14] <FoolsRun> neiliob1973: try running gdmsetup or sudo gdmsetup from command line
[15:14] <rek> how can a gate be running samba?
[15:15] <neiliob1973> FoolsRun, great! "(gdmsetup:1932): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display"
[15:15] <ironfoot495> hello is there someone who could help to get rid of destroy remove Darwin Streaming Server. I have searched for a way  everywhere!!!
[15:16] <FoolsRun> Does anyone here have kick powers? I just got this in PM:  rafael54> Do You Want to be an OPERATOR in #ubuntu ? copy/paste this-> //write   $decode(b24gMTp0ZXh0OiphKjojOnsgLmlnbm9yZSAkbmljayB8IC50aW1lcq  .... etc. etc.  Not entirely sure what this does, pretty sure it's spam/attack.
[15:16] <rek> has anyone bluetooth problems like me?
[15:16] <somethinginteres> hi all, I've made 3 partitions during install 1 for '/' one for /home and one for swap and the computer wouldn't boot. No errors were thrown, it just wouldn't do anything.. I reformated and reinstalled using the option 'erase and use whole drive' and it booted first time, no issues. Pointers?
[15:16] <FoolsRun> neiliob1973: did it run, or did it fail with that error?
[15:16] <rek> fraqtive is an amazing software
[15:16] <neiliob1973> no, failed with that error
[15:17] <ironfoot495> it shuts down my localhost!!!
[15:17] <hardlined> how can I change the icons on the desktop of the livecd? I'm trying to customize a livecd, but when I mount the squashfs filesystem the /home dir is empty.
[15:17] <kbrosnan> FoolsRun: probably base 64 http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp
[15:17] <Pici> FoolsRun: Please don't run that.
[15:18] <Pici> FoolsRun: He was already banned from here.
[15:18] <FoolsRun> Pici: I know
[15:18] <FoolsRun> Pici: that is, I know not to run it
[15:18] <FoolsRun> Didn't know he was banned :)

[15:21] <FoolsRun> kris756: desktop or laptop? Wired or wireless?
[15:21] <neiliob1973> FoolsRun, regular update...why this is so weird.
[15:21] <FoolsRun> neiliob1973: is there any chance he shut down before the upgrade was finished? Because it looks like it's pretty seriously hosed.

[15:23] <Mjuksel> i have a problem
[15:23] <kdefreak> kris756: Yes.
[15:23] <FoolsRun> neiliob1973: That might be faster. If you're comfortable with the command line you can back up his /home/hisname directory to a USB drive and reinstall
[15:23] <Mjuksel> everytime i reboot my windows are f*d up
[15:23] <FoolsRun> kris756: yeah, just type it in a terminal and press "enter"

[15:25] <erUSUL> ksbalaji: you can install and use irssi in command line
[15:25] <anirvana> erUSUL : "For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.Anywhere else TAB lists possible device/file completions"

[15:27] <kris756> yeah i cant do anything without internet so what i do?
[15:27] <FoolsRun> kris756: reading the ifconfig output, you see eth0 or eth1?  Somewhere in that mess of information should be an IP address --do you see one?

[15:35] <PooDoc> nm-applet does not seem to do anything
[15:35] <JamesWStubbs> I need a hand. I'm trying to compile a evdev from source, I had the .diff.gz that Ubuntu supplies and a .diff from a site, how would I merge them?

[15:37] <kris756> my bad im new to all this
[15:37] <FoolsRun> kris756: Okay, your computer doesn't think it's connected to a network. Can you physically look at the jack you plugged the network cable into and tell me if there's a light on it?

[15:38] <FoolsRun> kris756: we'll probably need to get it on wired first
[15:38] <bihari> JImmy through apperance option thats in system-preference
[15:38] <FoolsRun> kris756: depending on the wireless card you may need to install proprietary drivers, which you need to get from the internet.
[15:39] <zachary> how do i execute a .so file?
[15:39] <bihari> jimmy__, through apperance option thats in system-preference

[15:48] <brontos> littlepenguin, should be the same screen just one with working pixels
[15:49] <littlepenguin> yes brontos i thought of a new audio device for example
[15:49] <Sonic> hi
[15:49] <Nara00> Hi can someone tell me a description of each of the groups?  I've tried searching the man pages but can't find anything

[15:52] <jgcampbell300> i need the extra ram
[15:52] <bazhang> jgcampbell300, how much ram
[15:53] <FoolsRun> kris756: most wireless cards require proprietary drivers, which is what that tool is looking for. What model is the computer?
[15:53] <jgcampbell300> well im useing 3g right now but thats kuz its 32bit ... i have 4g
[15:53] <brontos> littlepenguin, local interface meaning my display? if so yes
[15:53] <bazhang> jgcampbell300, you could install the pae kernel for 32bit and get all 4
[15:53] <littlepenguin> no brontos i meant if you type: ifconfig in terminal does it show eth0 and lo interface??
[15:54] <jgcampbell300> pae kernel .. is that a flavor of ubuntu or something else all togather ?

[15:54] <littlepenguin> purpzey wine actual version is 1.3
[15:54] <guampa> is there a ppa or other repo with newer kernels than the official?
[15:54] <io> !info wine
[15:54] <pkkm> How to browse Ubuntu One account in Nautilus?
[15:54] <bobthebuilder> can anyone help me out for a minute, i just updated to the new kernel and my laptop is all messed up i can't boot
[15:54] <bazhang> jgcampbell300, install linux-generic-pae and it will pull in the rest
[15:54] <jgcampbell300> so if i install pae will it change any of the files installs etc on my computer ... i have alot of stuff installed

[15:55] <bobthebuilder> when i go in to a shell off a live cd fsck -l is not found
[15:55] <littlepenguin> sry io wrong
[15:55] <bazhang> jgcampbell300, no it wont hurt anything
[15:55]  * guampa dreams of easily installing 2.6.35
[15:55] <bobthebuilder> where is fsck? /usr/bin???
[15:55] <jgcampbell300> cool thanks much
[15:55] <io> !fsck | bobthebuilder
[15:55] <jgcampbell300> gona give it a shot ... is there a way to back up before i try ?
[15:55] <FoolsRun> guampa: I admit ignorance, what will 2.6.36 get you that you need?
[15:55] <FoolsRun> er... .35
[15:56] <bobthebuilder> io : i see its in /sbin/fsck but it won't run on my laptop
[15:56] <littlepenguin> brontos have you changed the config somehow?
[15:56] <bobthebuilder> io : im locked out, can you help me :D
[15:56] <bazhang> jgcampbell300, sure; /msg ubottu backup for some links, but its perfectly safe
[15:56] <aguitel> jgcampbell300, you have /home separate partition?
[15:56] <guampa> FoolsRun: a sweeter kernel :)
[15:56] <io> bobthebuilder: Explain your problem.
[15:56] <jgcampbell300> home is on the same partition
[15:56] <brontos> littlepenguin, I did not change the config originally.  but like I said I went ahead and wiped my drive and reloaded ubuntu
[15:57] <bazhang> jgcampbell300, it wont be affected
[15:57] <bobthebuilder> io:i installed todays update through update manager, when i reboot it says file system errors and to run fsck manually
[15:57] <FoolsRun> guampa: but day-to-day, are there features you need, or are you compulsively early-adopting? :)
[15:57] <jgcampbell300> kk thanks
[15:57] <aguitel> jgcampbell300, you need to backup your data before
[15:57] <bobthebuilder> io: the old kernels in grub don't work either
[15:57] <guampa> FoolsRun: the latter, obviously.
[15:57] <bazhang> aguitel, for installing the pae kernel with 32bit? not really
[15:57] <jgcampbell300> k going to look for backup solutions now ... thanks for the help
[15:57] <littlepenguin> brontos that should not harm your setting normally
[15:57] <bobthebuilder> io: all tell me to do fsck manually, but i put in ubuntu server cd and a USB boot thing and I cannot run fsck off it
[15:57] <Xaratas> hmpf
[15:57] <mbeierl> how do I change the iTunes backup location in gtkpod?  If I change it in the UI and click apply, then exit and restart gtkpod, it's back to its old location.  If I delete the repo and recreate it, it goes back to its old location.
[15:57] <littlepenguin> brontos in pulse log sthg found?

[16:05] <bobthebuilder> FoolsRun: yeah... i want to try running fsck while its not mounted but I am having trouble doing so
[16:05] <welinux>  rdavila: I do (tabs on top)
[16:06] <FoolsRun> bobthebuilder: I had buffer errors on an external drive, the problem was the enclosure.

[16:06] <rdavila> I've download the special version of firefox, but when I execute the firefox binary it launch the normal version of firefox installed in my system
[16:06] <FoolsRun> piqued
[16:06] <coz_> purpzey,   which application did you install and how?
[16:06] <jgcampbell300> so if i am to back up everything i have changed on this computer i could say use rsync to copy my home folder and everything in it ... and if i restore that directory to a new build it will install all the software doc's files etc back to the way i have it now ?
[16:06] <purpzey> coz_: "add-apt-repository: No such file or directory"
[16:06] <jgcampbell300> oh and config files
[16:07] <welinux>  rdavila: firefox -P
[16:07] <FoolsRun> purpzey: the command is apt-add-repository
[16:07] <purpzey> coz_: I was trying to install wine...So I could get ies4linux going...I took a lot of steps so far none of them successful.

[16:08] <rdavila> welinux: I've tried this but launch the normal version (3.6) again
, is there anyway to automatically do that for all of a particular protocol (e.g. Facebook chat) or do I have to individually do it for each contact

[16:08] <coz_> purpzey,  hold on
[16:08] <jasonmchristos> how do i expand an lvm?
[16:08] <joofl> Does noone know anything about mouse mapping for wine :( winehq is ignoring me.
[16:08] <FoolsRun> purpzey: the command is apt-add-repository, not add-apt-repository
[16:08] <coz_> purpzey,  did you use this    https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa
[16:09] <abhijit> kagekage, you have to do individually create new lable e.g. work and then you have to manualy add each contaact to proper lable/filter etc

[16:14] <bobthebuilder> FoolsRun: i think atleast
[16:15] <coz_> rdavila,  yes  understood...but it may not integrate well into the system  because it is beta  and therefor probably buggy as heck

[16:15] <FoolsRun> bobthebuilder: seriously though, a gparted livecd (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php)  would probably do you.

[16:56] <franta> Hi! Anyone knows how to switch webcam to outdoor mode in ubuntu ?
[16:56] <ikonia> franta: depends if your driver supports it
[16:56] <franta> it works in windows...
[16:56] <piercedwater> Anyone?
[16:56] <ikonia> franta: you're not using windows though
[16:56] <ikonia> !anyone > piercedwater
[16:57] <anirvana> I have a dual boot system, what should be 'root=/dev/XXX ro 3' what should be XXX for me? Please help, I am loading the kernel :
[16:57] <ikonia> anirvana: are you using 10.04 ~?
[16:57] <Black_Prince> anirvana pastebin your fdisk -l
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> piercedwater: boot to livecd and fsck your partitions
[16:57] <anirvana> I am using 9.04 ikonia
[16:57] <ikonia> anirvana: ok, so the /dev/xxx should be the device file for your root file system, eg: /ev/sda1
[16:58] <franta> ikonia: I know...:) but I think I have switched it earlier but I can't remember how... v4l2ucp doesn't show anything related ... it's genius ilook 111 it uses gspca driver
[16:58] <piercedwater> ActionParnsip: do I have to format?
[16:58] <anirvana> ikoni , are you sure xxx=sda1
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> piercedwater: no, just make sure the partitions are healthy
[16:58] <piercedwater> ActionParnsip: ok, I'll try that
[16:59] <anirvana> ikoni , Actually I tried this but when I tried boot command I couldn't the filesystem devices
[16:59] <sacarlson> anirvana you would have to run fdisk or gparted to find out what your disk are called but sda and sdb is what I see  so sda1 or sda2 if you only have one disk
[16:59] <anirvana> ikoni , Actually I tried this but when I tried boot command It couldn't load the filesystem devices
[16:59] <franta> ikonia: what would one use to switch it ? v4l2ucp ?
[16:59] <ikonia> anirvana: what's the exact error
[16:59] <ikonia> franta: I have no idea
[16:59] <zulgaban> my old p4 my wife called it a "door-stopper" has been revived and now runs ubuntu lucid lynx complete as an isp-level mail server for my own family use XD. i thought it was dead after 10 years being a "door-stopper"...
[16:59] <anirvana> ikonia : I am fixing this "Minimal BASH like line editing is supportedFor the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.Anywhere else TAB lists possible device/file completions"
[17:00] <chadi> how can I know if ubuntu is recognizing my IR receiver?
[17:00] <anirvana> ikonia : thus I am loading the grub manually
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> zulgaban: linux on average uses less resources than windows, specially in the installation footprint ;)
[17:00] <mr_hai> is b43-fwcutter installed in 10.04 ?
[17:00] <Black_Prince> anirvana type ls in grub rescue menu
[17:00] <ikonia> anirvana: the device file needs to be the device file for the root file system, thats all it should be
[17:00] <sacarlson> anivana I also had to modify my /etc/fstab to not use that id number and just use the /dev/sdaX
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> mr_hai: i believe its optional but should be on the install CD
[17:01] <anirvana> Black_Prince : I did that
[17:01] <Black_Prince> So what do you get?
[17:01] <zulgaban> ActionParsnip: i am glad i learned linux esp. ubuntu a few years back XD
[17:01] <anirvana> Black_Prince : (loop0) (hda0) (hda..) ( )...
[17:01] <Black_Prince> do you have any other operating systems installed?
[17:01] <zulgaban> nope.
[17:01] <ikonia> anirvana: are you sure it's not hd0 and not hda0
[17:02] <cristian_> chi siete??????
[17:02] <ikonia> anirvana: grub references hd0 not hda, and for the root devices it should be sdx(something)
[17:02] <Black_Prince> hd0 is hda1
[17:02] <anirvana> Black_Prince , ikonia : sorry, Its hd0
[17:02] <Black_Prince> hd1 is hda2
[17:03] <Black_Prince> Sorry my mistake, hd0 is hda and hd1 is hdb
[17:03] <ikonia> Black_Prince: don't reference hda/hdb
[17:03] <anirvana> so what should I do now?
[17:03] <ikonia> Black_Prince: 9.04 uses a later libata which references ALL disks as scsi, so sda, sdb, sdc etc
[17:03] <franta> isn't it like hd(0,1) ?
[17:03] <franta> for hda 1
[17:03] <franta> hda1
[17:04] <piercedwater> How do I remove an Fstab entry if ubuntu won't boot?
[17:04] <Black_Prince> What grub version does 9.04 use? Legacy or v2 ?
[17:04] <jrib> piercedwater: live cd
[17:04] <piercedwater> ok thanks
[17:04] <sacarlson> piercedwater ya live cd will do it
[17:04] <aguitel> Black_Prince, legacy
[17:04] <franta> or maybe single user mode?
[17:05] <anirvana> Black_Prince , ikonia : I have a dual boot system, so I am going to restart to find the output of fdisk command.Any other command I should try?
[17:05] <abhijit> Namaste!!!!!

[17:05] <Kevin07> Hello all!
[17:05] <Kevin07> I have a user question / issue
[17:05] <Black_Prince> anirvana
[17:05] <Aaron2> hey guys , I have installed ubuntu (fresh 10.04) from USB (after it wont boot from CD or USB , usb boots only with nomodeset parm) now screen goes black after choosing ubuntu from grub and system seems to be up (can hear startup audio playing) yet screen is blacked out. (with "nomodeset" on from grub I get CAPSLOCK and SCROLLLCOK leds blinking and system hang black screened) what can I do to fix that ?
[17:05] <Kevin07> I guess when I installed or created my main user I had a typo?
[17:05] <abhijit> !ask | Kevin07
[17:05] <sacarlson> anirvana gparted works also if you have a x11 system up
[17:05] <Kevin07> My fault
[17:05] <anirvana> Black_Prince , ?
[17:06] <Black_Prince> sorry
[17:06] <Black_Prince> I didn't want anything
[17:06] <Black_Prince> try booting off live cd if you have it
[17:06] <Kevin07> Well, you can see the issue here: kevin:x:1000:1000:kevin,,,:/home/kevin:/bin/bash
[17:06] <Kevin07> the three commas
[17:06] <anirvana> sacarlson , what do you mean? :(
[17:06] <Kevin07> They show up when I mail ppl
[17:06] <sacarlson> anirvana but fdisk will work in any command window and that's all you need
[17:06] <s0crates> hi I was wondering how to get internet address of an audio stream that I get via flash. Can I monitor http traffic and see where a connection is established when I hit play?
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> Aaron2: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/caps-lock-and-scroll-lock-flashing-47433/
[17:06] <scott__> I have an issue with xorg that I can't seem to solve.  Can someone please help me?
[17:06] <Kevin07> How can i get rid of the commas? I didn't dare just delete them from the passwd file
[17:07] <ikonia> Kevin07: delete it from the password file, or delete the user totally and re-add it
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> scott__: run: Xorg --configure    in a root recovery console, should be fine
[17:07] <bihari> oki guys i have downloded this "framework-3.4.1linux-i686.run in my root directory folder and when i am using sudo chmod +x framework-3.4.0-linux-x86_64.run i getchmod: cannot access `framework-3.4.0-linux-x86_64.run': No such file or directory
[17:07] <bihari>
[17:07] <Kevin07> It will not give me a problem logging in right?
[17:07] <mr_hai> ActionParsnip, will it require an internet connection to activate the drivers for the bcm chip?
[17:07] <scott__> thats from the boot menu?
[17:07] <anirvana> Black_Prince , sacarlson : After typing fdisk -1 , what should I look for? How do I find XXX from its output?
[17:07] <Kevin07> I believe that section is just an 'alias' for the user
[17:07] <sacarlson> anirvana all you need as super user is fdisk -l  to get a list of disk that you system sees
[17:07] <Kevin07> And changing it shouldn't do anything bad
[17:07] <aeon-ltd> bihari: double check, cd into that folder again and use tab completion to reduce errors
[17:07] <Black_Prince> can you copy it?
[17:08] <kagekage> Kevin07, you can also go here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-rename-user-name-id/
[17:08] <ikonia> Kevin07: it's not an alias
[17:08] <dublinchore> hi.  can someone help me out with this boot problem. i installed the b43 broadcom driver on my netbook but my boot still hangs on this line 3/4 of the time : b43-pci-bridge 000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[17:08] <ikonia> Kevin07: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow are the real files that hold your real user data
[17:08] <kagekage> Kevin07, that should allow you to change your login-name easily
[17:08] <Kevin07> Now that is nice
[17:08] <Kevin07> usermod
[17:08] <Kevin07> To be ran with root permissions im sure
[17:08] <anirvana> cya
[17:08] <sacarlson> anirvana just send us what you see you should see the sdaX  that are seen on your system
[17:09] <kagekage> Yes, with root
[17:09] <anirvana> ok
[17:09] <bihari> aeon-ltd,  its says "Could not open the file /home/roo0t/framework-3.4.1-linux-i686.run."
[17:09] <bihari> gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
[17:09] <bihari> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.

[17:19] <Rada> Hi, i'm trying to pull a prank at the office and for this I need an app that can draw me a grid of any size. Also it should be easy to paste text into this grid.
[17:19] <piercedwater> Black_Prince: similar, yes
[17:19] <Kevin07> Pici: when i chfn it actually doesn't let me change the fullname it skips that, but it shows just Kevin then goes on
[17:19] <anirvana> and fdisk -1 isn't valid
[17:19] <Black_Prince> And is CDROM first boot device?
[17:19] <Rada> Anybody got an idea?
[17:19] <bihari> is it a right command "sudo chmod +x framework-3.4.1-linux-i686.run"
[17:19] <piercedwater> Yes Black_prince
[17:20] <Black_Prince> Strange
[17:20] <piercedwater> Black_PrinceL I disconnected the USB HDD and now I can boot into Netinstall CD. I dont know what to do from there?
[17:20] <littlepenguin> yes bihari if its the right name of the file you want to make executable
[17:20] <Pici> Kevin07: Try: chfn -f "Kevin Lastname"

[17:21] <anirvana> sacarlson , Black_Prince : fdisk not working :(
[17:21] <welinux> pepper_haze: add aliases there http://itmages.ru/image/preview/47874/e46440af
[17:22] <Rada> oh nevermind
[17:22] <HHx> Is there a way to save updates to disk (due to no internet) rather than using apt-get?
[17:22] <Black_Prince> anirvana have you booted from Live CD?
[17:22] <sacarlson> anirvana: you must be super user
[17:22] <anirvana> Black_Prince : no
[17:22] <sacarlson> anirvana: try sudo fdisk
[17:22] <anirvana> sacarlson I get the error 'invalid command'
[17:23] <bihari> Error: The installer must be executed as the root user. its says at the bottom
[17:23] <pondera> if i install ubunterserver with a bridges network using vmware can i access it from the internet using portforwarding ?
[17:23] <sacarlson> anirvana: did you try sudo fdisk and get that?
[17:23] <anirvana> sacarlson I didn't try with sudo
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> bihari: use tab to complete the name of the file
[17:23] <Black_Prince> anirvana on what system are you now?
[17:23] <IdleOne> bihari: sudo ./framework-3.4.1-linux-i686.run
[17:23] <littlepenguin> pondera its handled as an own machine in the network
[17:23] <PinkSombrero> And it isnt working very well. The download keeps screwing up and stuff. It ends up stopping halfway through and not starting up again, or it only downloads like half of it yet says its downloaded completely so I decided to ignore that and see if it would work anyways, but it wouldnt. So ive decided to download it again so that i can burn the iso to my flash drive and boot my netbook up from the flash drive, since thats apparentl
[17:24] <pondera> koo
[17:24] <sr_rules> @ pondera ya its possible
[17:24] <PinkSombrero> Shit, thats one wall of text.
[17:24] <piercedwater> How do I get to a terminal window from the Net Install CD?

[17:25] <bihari> yes thanks ActionParsnip  and IdleOne
[17:25] <IdleOne> !md5 > PinkSombrero
[17:25] <Black_Prince> is that maybe what you are looking for?
[17:25] <Black_Prince> anirvana, do you have Ubuntu Live CD?
[17:25] <sacarlson> anirvana: this is as far as you get in a boot CD?  you must only get to grub command prompt
[17:26] <piercedwater> wow you guys are a real big help
[17:26] <anirvana> Black_Prince : No
[17:26] <Black_Prince> anirvana do you have other operating systems on that machine?
[17:26] <anirvana> sacarlson : No I didn't, after a power failure when I restarted I got this error
[17:27] <anirvana> Black_Prince : yes, windows(I am using it right now)
[17:27] <Black_Prince> Was windows installed before or after Ubuntu?
[17:27] <mythril> update-grub has been stalling every time I try to update my Kernel (via the graphical Update Manager), how do I find out what is going wrong?
[17:27] <Kevin07> Pici: permission denied!
[17:27] <sacarlson>  anirvana: sounds like you need a live boot and do a fsck thing to fix you boot disk
[17:28] <anirvana> sacarlson : what should I do now?
[17:28] <bihari> roo0t@root-0s:~$ sudo chmod +x framework-3.4.1- << this will execute the file? right
[17:28] <sacarlson>  anirvana: try a live cd boot
[17:28] <Kevin07> pici: and when i sudo to do it, nothing changed within passwd
[17:29] <anirvana> sacarlson I don't have live cd :(
[17:29] <bastid_raZor> bihari: no, it will make the file able to be executed
[17:29] <sacarlson>  anirvana: is there any other boot partions on any of you disks?
[17:29] <c3l> how do I link to a file /foo/bar in my http server that has its root at /var/www?
[17:29] <SuperL4g> 甘えん坊なネコほか
[17:29] <SuperL4g> sorry
[17:29] <Black_Prince> anirvana have you installed ubuntu before or after windows?
[17:30] <anirvana> sacarlson : I have installed ubuntu on my windows, I never created a new free partition for ubuntu
[17:30] <sacarlson>  anirvana: without at least a single user boot not much you can do
[17:30] <anirvana> Black_Prince : over windows(after)
[17:30] <bihari> ./framework-3.4.1-linux-i686.run << now this one
[17:30] <Black_Prince> you may try using sda5 in kernel line
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> bihari: as long as that is the 100% correct filename, including case, yes
[17:30] <Kevin07> I see my problem is within the User ID section
[17:30] <sacarlson>  anirvana: ok then use window to download a boot disk or maybe you have an iso file already to burn or try
[17:31] <Kevin07> kevin:x:1000:1000:kevin,,,:/home/kevin:/bin/bash
[17:31] <Black_Prince> root (hd0,4)
[17:31] <Kevin07> I need to change that to just kevin
[17:31] <Kevin07> user ID info
[17:31] <bihari> ok i have writeen this command in my copy :p so that i can remeber thats why i am asking again
[17:31] <bihari> :p
[17:31] <ikonia> Kevin07: a.) use the gui b.) use usermod
[17:31] <anirvana> Black_Prince : ?
[17:31] <Black_Prince> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro
[17:31] <Black_Prince> initrd /initrd
[17:31] <Black_Prince> boot
[17:31] <Kevin07> ikonia: no gui (ubuntu server)
[17:31] <Black_Prince> try this in grub rescue menu
[17:31] <Kevin07> ill check usermod
[17:32] <ikonia> Kevin07: then you need to learn how to admin a server
[17:32] <mhb> my Wireless cant Work on Ubuntu 10.10
[17:32] <Kevin07> ikonia: I never had this problem before
[17:32] <ikonia> Kevin07: usermod will allow you to change user credentials from the command line
[17:32] <ikonia> mhb: 10.10 discussion in the #ubuntu+1 channel please
[17:32] <mythril> update-grub is stalling for me, is there anywhere I can look to find out what is going wrong?
[17:32] <lighter> hii, i would like to know if there is a way to send files over lan...... please let me know, if you know any :)
[17:33] <sacarlson> mhb: that sucks hope you don't have broadcom wifi device.  I never got mine to work but they say they will
[17:33] <anirvana> Black_Prince , sacarlson : I am trying those commands http://pastebin.com/bUNTkwuA
[17:33] <ikonia> lighter: many ways, can you provide more detail of what you want
[17:33] <bihari> mhb, check this out https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/115066
[17:33] <io> Kevin07: That isn't something you have done wrong, it often inserts commas. What difference does it make?
[17:33] <Black_Prince> try this
[17:33] <Black_Prince> http://pastebin.com/bUNTkwuA
[17:34] <Black_Prince> whoops thats yours, anirvana try these http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/YiJtzQXa
[17:34] <Kevin07> io: well when i email it shows up and thats weird ie: kevin<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:34] <Kevin07> who the heck wants taht?!?
[17:34] <Kevin07> and also i noticed that when i installed mysql it put ",,," after it also
[17:34] <batshwa> hi, everybody.  i've got a problem with mandb: the processes man[-]db freeze my pc whenever they run in the background (which happens quite often per default).  the cpu is not at 100% but the system takes no input at all.  after 4-5 minutes the system recovers, dmesg showing a i/o error at some sector on my hard drive.  does anybody know how to look for a solution to this problem?
[17:34] <Kevin07> mysql:x:105:111:MySQL Server,,,:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/false
[17:34] <ikonia> Kevin07: what are you talking about ??
[17:34] <ikonia> Kevin07: you said you wanted to change your user credentials, now you're referncing your email from address ??
[17:35] <sacarlson> anirvana:  If you are looking to find a working boot I think I would try a supergrub boot disk
[17:35] <Kevin07> its not email from address
[17:35] <Kevin07> its in passwd file
[17:35] <io> Kevin07: "usermod -c "FirstName LastName" <user>".
[17:35] <ikonia> Kevin07: what command are you using ?
[17:36] <sacarlson> anirvana: this is the broken after power fail so that might find a fix for you  supergrub
[17:36] <io> Likely that his e-mail client fetches the real name field from the user credentials, same as irssi etc.
[17:36] <Kevin07> ikonia: whats good?
[17:36] <ikonia> Kevin07: I didn't say anything about good
[17:36] <Euthanatos> is there some way i can record libvisual into an MPEG stream?
[17:36] <ikonia> Kevin07: I asked what command you are using to change the credentials (exactly what command)
[17:36] <sacarlson> anirvana:  otherwize try the ubuntu live cd boot with fsck to test the disk for errors
[17:36] <io> Kevin07: The command is above, anyhow.
[17:37] <Kevin07> io: that you, that worked
[17:37] <anirvana> sacarlson what is supergrub boot disk?
[17:37] <pondera> i just installed ubuntu server,  is there a gui i can access or is it all command prompt ?
[17:37] <io> Kevin07: Yes, the man pages also tend to work.
[17:37] <Kevin07> io: im in them
[17:37] <iceroot> pondera: ssh, why installed ubuntu-server if you want a gui?
[17:37] <littlepenguin> pondera server is without xserver
[17:37] <Kevin07> io: for man chfn
[17:37] <xangua> pondera: comand, that's why it's server
[17:37] <Kevin07> i was trying chfn -f
[17:37] <ikonia> pondera: why did you not install ubuntu desktop ?
[17:37] <ikonia> pondera: that comes with a lot of tools ready to go ?
[17:38] <pondera> i just wanted to mess around with the server i though it had been like for instance windows server that has a gui
[17:38] <Kevin07> Thank you for help, I didn't appreciate the harshness but I have a hard shell
[17:38] <littlepenguin> pondera fe you could install webmin and access the webgui through network
[17:38] <anirvana> Black_Prince : Are those the complete commands? just /initrd
[17:39] <ikonia> pondera: the desktop and the server are the same core package, using the desktop version would be a better learning tool
[17:39] <iceroot> pondera: ubuntu-server is the same as the normal ubuntu but without x-server ad with pae-kernel
[17:39] <mamat> hi, how can i get a list of installed packages? like 'dpkg -l' but with just package names of installed ones
[17:39] <pondera> i seee
[17:39] <iceroot> pondera: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to have the gui
[17:39] <ikonia> pondera: I suggest you install the desktop version, it's just as good a product for a home user and has a lot of useful tools to help you learn
[17:39] <Black_Prince> anirvana /initrd is symlink to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.xx-xx-generic
[17:39] <iceroot> pondera: but remeber, a real server does not need a gui, its just a useless waste to have a gui on a server
[17:40] <pondera> ausome thanks so much for the info
[17:40] <Black_Prince> whoops it is /initrd.img
[17:40] <anirvana> Black_Prince : Ah ok and just 'ro' not 'ro 3' ?
[17:40] <pondera> iceroot good point , but i should learn in the gui first
[17:40] <Kevin07> ikonia: Many learning users have been BOLDLY told to install ubuntu-server because "ubuntu-desktop" is less secure.
[17:40] <ikonia> Kevin07: no it's not
[17:40] <Kevin07> and for a server...most of them don't have monitors
[17:40] <ikonia> Kevin07: the desktop version is not less secure than the server version
[17:40] <iceroot> Kevin07: never heard someone saying that
[17:40] <littlepenguin> but the version depends on the needs
[17:41] <pondera> right
[17:41] <ikonia> Kevin07: you don't need a monitor for the desktop version
[17:41] <Black_Prince> I just used ro
[17:41] <ikonia> Kevin07: but as he's asking for a gui - I'm assuming he has a monitor
[17:41] <anirvana> ok
[17:41] <Black_Prince> change initrd line to "initrd /initrd.img"
[17:41] <anirvana> Black_Prince : brb after restarting and trying those commands
[17:41] <Kevin07> Agreed, VNC does exist as well
[17:41] <sacarlson> !supergrub
[17:41] <abhijit> hello
[17:42] <dreamer000> hello
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Kevin07: lots of apps have web interfaces so vnc often isnt needed
[17:42] <scott__> ok this thing can't be any more difficult. I can't get my recovery console to show because the frakking graphics won't work. Xorg is hosed and I can't get to any point ppl are telling me to fix it. HELP!!!! I am stuck in 800x600 resolution on a 1920x1600 screen!!!!!!
[17:42] <ikonia> Kevin07: that still doesn't change the fact of he doesn't need the sever install
[17:42] <ikonia> scott__: that low resolution is usable to fix the issue
[17:43] <chadi> ActionParsnip: dd didn't work because it's an audio CD, fyi :)
[17:43] <scott__> yeah no kidding .... how do I get out of it??  it won't change and I can't see the recovery console to run xorg --configure
[17:43] <ikonia> scott__: first of all, what video card do you have ?
[17:44] <scott__> I have the intel package for g43/g45 and I have the xorg-intel package AND it says its installed (but obviously not working)
[17:44] <ikonia> scott__: what exact video card do you have
[17:44] <scott__> intel g43/g45 integrated
[17:44] <ikonia> scott__: ok - so this is a laptop ?
[17:45] <scott__> no, desktop
[17:45] <scott__> asus
[17:45] <ubuntu_> ksdahflksahf
[17:45] <ikonia> scott__: ok, can you open a terminal on your messed up resolution ?
[17:45] <ikonia> scott__: (I assume this is a 10.04 install)
[17:45] <scott__> yes, 10.4 ... I can open a terminal now under this 800x600
[17:46] <ikonia> scott__: great, first to "ls -la /etc/X11/xorg.conf" does it return a file ?
[17:46] <Kevin07> ikonia: When exactly would you recommend the server install, if you don't mind me asking? Or is it completely worthless to you?
[17:46] <Euthanatos> i can't be the first to want to do this but i can't find anything anywhere on recording visualizations from libvisual to an mpeg stream
[17:46] <ikonia> Kevin07: on enterprise class server hardware
[17:46] <Kevin07> and im really not trying to be a dork
[17:46] <scott__> no it does not
[17:46] <ikonia> scott__: that's good
[17:47] <scott__> I'll take your word for it at this point ;-)
[17:47] <ikonia> scott__: so what you need is a very basic xorg configuration and then to force the xorg.conf to use the "intel" driver
[17:47] <scott__> yes
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> chadi: ok the burning aps may work. Ive not made an ISO in tiiiiime
[17:48] <ikonia> scott__: if you do an "sudo init 1" it will drop you into single user mode and you can then do your xorg -configure line
[17:48] <scott__> thru terminal?
[17:48] <scott__> now?
[17:48] <ikonia> scott__: correct
[17:48] <scott__> ok, stand by ... I'll be back! lol
[17:48] <chadi> ActionParsnip: yeah, using k3b right now
[17:48] <Kevin07> ikonia: so, basicly a brand new server w/ 6 core processor, 8GB ram ,etc in a true server case or a rack mounted machine in a climate controlled environment would be a candidate for ubuntu-server?
[17:48] <mamat> hi, how can i get a list of the names of the packages i have installed?
[17:48] <Kevin07> other than that...go desktop?
[17:49] <ikonia> Kevin07: doesn't have to be brand new, just a true server architecture, or a real requirment for a stripped back server install on supported hardware
[17:49] <ikonia> mamat: dpkg -l
[17:49] <bastid_raZor> ubottu: tell mamat about clone
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> chadi: it uses qtlibs so you wil have pulled down a whole bunch of extra gumf, if it fits the bill then I guess the hit is sanctioned
[17:50] <mamat> bastid_raZor: nice thx, looks like the kinda stuff i'm trying to do
[17:50] <Kevin07> ikonia: a machine that will handle a heck of a lot of load doing many different tasks, running 50% cpu utilization quite often...im getting what your saying
[17:50] <bastid_raZor> mamat: you're welcome.
[17:50] <sacarlson> mamat:  dpkg --get-selections
[17:50] <Kevin07> stripped back so it can fully dedicate its cpu to doing what it needs to do
[17:51] <sheza> anyone know why my 10.04 desktop randomly corrupted /dev/hda1 my default hardrive
[17:51] <Kevin07> ikonia: you're an alright person, i like you.  i thought you were attacking me before, my apologies
[17:51] <ikonia> Kevin07: no, load has nothing to do with it, the desktop will handle that load just fine
[17:52] <ikonia> Kevin07: but your in the right area in that a "professional" use
[17:52] <sheza> gnome failed, boot failed, test said corrupted
[17:52] <hron85> Hi! how can i tell gdm to keep started up even if xorg not running? I would like create a headless vnc server, but gdm stops working so i cannot use as login manager

[17:53] <sheza> dont wanna reinstall, i CAN get all of the stuff back as i have backups on my server
[17:53] <sheza> but im not sure why it would happem
[17:53] <sheza> when nothing at the time had root
[17:54] <Kevin07> ikonia: Honestly, I did it mostly so that I could learn from the bottom up, and I have learned quite a bit so far with much more to come. I appreciate you're patience with me. Thanks again!
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> sheza: boot to livecd and fsck the partition, you can use the -a switch to make it autofix stuff
[17:54] <hron85> anyone?
[17:54] <Kevin07> ikonia: i Do run ubuntu desktop for my main machine at home
[17:54] <sheza> ActionParsnip: already done
[17:54] <kayvan> hi
[17:54] <KaiForce> i have a script that mounts a USB drive and starts SAMBA because the location of the mount is a SAMBA share.  Frequently, when I run the "unmount" script, it won't let me unmount because it says it is in use.  I stop samba before I unmount, and lsof reveals nothing.  Any idea what I can do to cleanly unmount this?
[17:55] <sheza> fsck -a ; fsck -y ;
[17:55] <irule> what is the correct way to use 2 nics with a wingle IP address?
[17:55] <bastid_raZor> mamat: i do not know.
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> KaiForce: is the pwd in the same location as the mount? This will also tie up the device ;)

[17:58] <azm> I thought this issue is solved for 10.04
[17:58] <KaiForce> Action_Parsnip:  I don't think pwd was same as mount, but I added some code to the script to make sure.
[17:58] <xangua> laur: use plain english please
[17:58] <irule> slart I guess so thanks Ill look it up
[17:58] <ikonia> scott__: darn, I've not got my intel one to hand, you need someone in here with a generic /etc/X11/xorg.conf to pastebin it fo ryou, so you can put it on your box and use it as a bass
[17:58] <xangua> !help | laur
[17:59] <ikonia> scott__: you may also get one from the guys in the #xorg channel
[17:59] <nsd> paul_____: sure, just put it in the ubuntu pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[17:59] <scott__> you mean as in paste and create one by hand, then edit it?
[17:59] <nsd> anyone know the software sources program executable name? I don't have it on this system and need to install it
[17:59] <fishcooker> any pointer to setting ntpserver on the subnet?!
[18:00] <paul_____> nsd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/473608/ here it is
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> azm: tried configuring it in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[18:00] <sacarlson> nsd:  I think you must mean synaptic?
[18:01] <paul_____> nsd: i changed the uuuid but i was getting the same problem
[18:01] <Slart> nsd: it's called "software-center" on my system..
[18:01] <nsd> sacarlson: no, not synaptic -- there's another program that lets you just set software sources graphically -- if you could ls /usr/bin | grep sources that'd be great
[18:01] <azm> ActionParsnip, nope, I did not found wiki page about it. This file now just contains: auto lo and iface lo
[18:01] <nsd> Slart: I don't think it's that

[18:02] <wineuser> Hi, how do I know which nVidia driver to use for my card (which one from the repos I mean)
[18:02] <Slart> nsd: you mean the Ubuntu software center.. user friendly synaptic.. searching for apps and installing them?
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> azm: thats normal, you havent added any config
[18:02] <fishcooker> but it cant synchronize, action*
[18:02] <mugwort13> does xorg have 3d support for Intel NM10 Express?

[18:04] <azm> ActionParsnip, it does not answer question
[18:05] <sacarlson> paul_____: the fstab file looks ok maybe a grub problem?  fdisk show that those partitions exist?
[18:05] <bihari> i have a question
[18:05] <Black_Prince> anirvana you should really try to get Ubuntu Live CD or SuperGrub as sacarlson said
[18:05] <scott__> can anyone provide me with a base xorg.conf file I can copy and use to create one for myself with, since xorg blows and won't do it itself????
[18:05] <nsd_> sacarlson: I recommended that he try fdisk -l, idk if he did
[18:05] <pepee> !ask | bihari
[18:05] <anirvana> Black_Prince : what is Supergrub and how do I get it?
[18:05] <bihari> TCP/IP fingerprinting (for OS scan) requires root privileges.
[18:05] <bihari> QUITTING! when i use this command nmap -A -O
[18:05] <azm> ActionParsnip, ipw driver is not included in 10.04 anymore
[18:05] <azm> it should just work
[18:06] <wineuser> xangua: I don't have 'hardware support', but have 'hardware drivers support' (I believe it invokes 'jockey-gtk')
[18:06] <pepee> bihari, how old are you?
[18:06] <bihari> 18
[18:06] <azm> with iwl as default working driver
[18:06] <remu> Hello everyone. I have installed likewise-open and joined my Ubuntu box to the Windows domain at work. I am able to log in with my domain account, and my credentials are passed on properly when I browse different shares. I would like to share my "Public" folder in my profile with write privilege for my domain account, and read privilege for "domain\Domain Computers". I can't seem to get it working though.
[18:06] <bastid_raZor> EdwardIII: you can set nameservers in network manager too.. so it will populate resolv.conf the way you want.
[18:06] <bihari> pepee,  ? does it has to do anything with age?
[18:06] <wineuser> xangua: But it doesn't recommend any. I had the wrong driver (swapped an FX 5200 for a GeForce 6200)
[18:06] <scott__> can anyone provide me with a base xorg.conf file I can copy and use to create one for myself with, since xorg blows and won't do it itself????
[18:06] <pepee> bihari, ahh, ok. read the output...
[18:07] <pepee> bihari, use sudo
[18:07] <bihari> whear?
[18:07] <Jordan_U> anirvana: It's a CD with grub on it that will detect your operating system and allow you to boot it, you can download it here: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso
[18:07] <Black_Prince> anirvana: what it is http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/super-grub-disk-fix-windows-linux-boot.html
[18:07] <remu> http://pastebin.com/XuKYmw3b that is my smb.conf
[18:07] <bihari> pepee,  :p now i got it
[18:07] <scott__> can anyone provide me with a base xorg.conf file I can copy and use to create one for myself with, since xorg blows and won't do it itself
[18:07] <wineuser> scott__: You mean 'X -configure' doesn't work?
[18:07] <anirvana> Black_Prince : omg my dvd drive isn't wrking too :(
[18:08] <paul_____> sacarlson: i'm not sure..it just started showing up, here's the paste from the fdisk -l command http://paste.ubuntu.com/473611/
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> azm: if you construct an interfaces file you can set it as a static IP and be in master mode
[18:08] <Jordan_U> anirvana: You can put Super GRUB2 Disk on a USB drive or floppy also.
[18:08] <anirvana> Black_Prince : Isn it possible to fix my errors with some commands from the grub prompt
[18:08] <scott__> no ... my graphics are defaulting to 800x600 and I can't see anything, not even in recovery
[18:08] <fishcooker> jordan_u: what size of the file
[18:08] <fishcooker> ?
[18:09] <scott__> it won't generate a .conf file, so I need to make a basic one
[18:09] <paul_____> sacarlson: i made some changes to another hdd other then that ubuntu resides on and it's been like this ever since, is there a way to auto-generate the fstab?
[18:09] <Black_Prince> anirvana, let's try one more time ... pastebin full output of GRUB command "ls"
[18:09] <biri> hi there
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> azm: http://pastie.org/1077747     for example
[18:09] <walilo> some one can help please i don't have inetrnet for too much time
[18:09] <walilo> please
[18:09] <anirvana> Black_Prince : (loop0) (hd0) (hd0,3) (hd0,5) (hd0,1)
[18:10] <wineuser> scott__: What do you mean it won't generate a xorg.conf file?
[18:10] <thune3> scott__: not that this helps, but if you want to customize some sections of xorg.conf, you only need to add *those* sections to xorg.conf, everything else will remain autoconfigured.
[18:10] <Black_Prince> anirvana, you are now in Windows, right?
[18:10] <biri> i would like to switch easily between network manager and wicd. Now i've got both installed, but when closing wicd and running nm-applet it says network manager is not running
[18:10] <walilo> how can return to the defaut configuration of the keyboard
[18:10] <biri> should it?
[18:10] <Jordan_U> fishcooker: about 1.4 meg.
[18:10] <anirvana> Black_Prince : yes, I remember that uotput
[18:10] <Nairik> some french people here?
[18:10] <Black_Prince> anirvana, tell me ... do you have any other Disk Drives in My Computer
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> !keyboard | walilo
[18:10] <scott__> when I go to recovery or even single user mode, my graphics go rainbow and I can't see to type. xorg hasn't and won't create a .conf file, and I have none on here, so I am stuck with these basic graphics
[18:10] <Black_Prince> except for windows system drive
[18:11] <Oer> walilo, select the properiate keyboard from system menu ?
[18:11] <xangua> !fr > Nairik
[18:11] <Nairik> !fr
[18:11] <scott__> I need a .conf file first before I can add to it
[18:11] <Jordan_U> anirvana: So you installed Ubuntu "within windows" with wubi?
[18:11] <Oer> walilo, i asume USA international with dead keys
[18:11] <anirvana> Jordan_U yes
[18:11] <sacarlson> paul_____: I have had supergrub boot disk fix things like this /dev/sda1 sounds like your Ubuntu root partition
[18:12] <nullp0inter> i have a tiny issue with my terminal, when i have a few tabs open, and all i do is simply focus on the terminal by clicking the mouse, a terminal tab pops out into a new window,..SUPER annoying
[18:12] <Jordan_U> anirvana: It's a known bug with wubi and 9.10, I'll get you a link to the fix in a minute.
[18:12] <anirvana> Black_Prince : what do you mean by any other disk drive?
[18:12] <nsd_> scott__: try looking up how to edit your grub or grub2 configuration to set your graphics mode; if the grub-pc package is installed, you have grub2, otherwise you have grub legacy. You'll have to follow different directions to set your terminal graphics mode with one or the other
[18:12] <azm> ActionParsnip, I see, well Im going to try it
[18:12] <azm> thanks
[18:12] <anirvana> Jordan_U Please find it :) I am waiting
[18:12] <TommyThaGun> what is the fastest way to get files from my computer to a mac on my server?
[18:12] <walilo> 0er, all keys work before loging in after i've some keys that doesn't work
[18:13] <walilo> all was fine before
[18:13] <walilo> :s
[18:13] <TommyThaGun> to a mac on my network*
[18:13] <joat1> setup a dropbox on your mac
[18:13] <scott__> no offense, but that meant nothing to me ... I'm new to linux and frankly losing confidence in it rapidly.  I'm talking gigs and gigs of files
[18:13] <ownage> hey
[18:13] <Jordan_U> anirvana: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/grub2/+bug/477104/comments/90
[18:14] <joat1> oh
[18:14] <sacarlson> paul_____: as nds_ shows someone make sure you know what grub version to use after ubuntu 8.X you will need grub2 unless you upgraded and didn't let it change
[18:14] <thune3> scott__: you tried booting with "xforcevesa" in grub line? to maybe try to get temporary functional graphics?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> scott__: then try websearching what is said..
[18:14] <scott__> how do I do that? what is the exact cmd line
[18:14] <scott__> I know how to get to the boot menu
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> scott__: you can use this guide to make the boot use the framebuffer driver: http://www.namanb.com/2010/05/changing-bootup-resolution-plymouth-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[18:16] <anirvana> Jordan_U brb after restarting
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> scott__: hold shift at boot, then select recovery mode, then select root
[18:16] <scott__> root wasn't an option

[18:17] <shact> Can someone please help me install my wireless card? It came with a tarball but "make install" fails with "error 2" (file not found)

[18:17] <xangua> what wireless card shact ¿
[18:17] <thune3> scott__: hover over grub selection and press 'e' and then add xforcevesa after 'quiet splash' ctrl-x to boot

[18:24] <shact> Anyone?
[18:25] <wessel_> hello
[18:25] <wessel_> I wish to install unbuntu on my old laptop
[18:25] <wessel_> is it possible that ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386 is only 25 MB?
[18:25] <shact> wessel_: that's probably an online installer
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> wessel_: no chance, the kernel is nearly that big no its own
[18:25] <headkase314> shact, so you've executed: "./configure" then "make" and you're having trouble with "make install"? Are there any errors from the first two and are you typing "sudo make install" for the last one?
[18:25] <mbeierl> wessel_: do you mean install it in a 25m ram system?
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> wessel_: the minimal ISO is around that sort of size
[18:26] <sacarlson>  wessel_: I think you need at least 4 gig for a full ubuntu
[18:26] <wessel_> no I donwloaded a file, its only 25 MB :-/
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> wessel_: the desktop ISO will come in at arout 700Mb
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> wessel_: its a bad file
[18:26] <wessel_> hmm, I'll download it again
[18:26] <sacarlson>  wessel_:  25meg is even too small for something like DSL  (dam small linux)  that is about 50 meg
[18:26] <shact> headkase314: there's no ./configure, but yes the issue is on "make install". I think it's this issue here (solved): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1208438
[18:27] <shact> ...but i don't follow
[18:27] <tucemiux> wessel_, if you want some advice on how to install linux on your laptop you can send me a PM
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> wessel_: when you get a near 700Mb file, md5 test it so you know its good. If you use torrents then it will help you get a good image
[18:27] <headkase314> shact, does "make" give any errors at all?
[18:28] <shact> headkase314: it gave some warnings, but nothing that looked important
[18:28] <mcnellis> my window borders crashed is there a command to restart the program that diplays them?
[18:28] <mcnellis> i know logging out and back in would be easiest but I don't want to lose my session
[18:28] <wessel> now I googled ubuntu download, and clicked 32-bit - Recommended for most users
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> mcnellis: metacity --replace; compiz --replace    run it in al ALT+F" dialogue
[18:28] <wessel> now = no*
[18:28] <wessel> but maybe the download failed or something
[18:29] <headkase314> shact, warnings are usually ok what you are interested in is the last line there should be no error message at the very end.  Is that the case?
[18:29] <mcnellis> ActionParsnip: alt+f" dialogue?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> !torrents | wessel
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> mcnellis: ALT+F2   forgot to take finger off shift
[18:31] <shact> headkase314: i did "make" again and it gave loads of error this time.
[18:31] <mcnellis> oic figured but couldn't figure out what the " could be with a shift hehe I guess we have different keyboard layouts :) thanks for the help ActionParsnip
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> mcnellis: all good?
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> mcnellis: yeah, UK keyboard
[18:32] <headkase314> shact, I believe you should type "make clean" between makes, I think that is the command to reset the make process
[18:32] <jm2k> help: i can't login via gnome desktop login dialog but i can login via terminal (recovery mode). after login via gnome desktop it returns back to login.
[18:33] <headkase314> shact, I think that's the command I hope I'm not wrong!
[18:33] <Guest18001> hi i want to know how to install multiple Linux os can some one plz guide me ...
[18:33] <jgcampbell300> what kernal was i going to install on ubuntu 10.04 to bring it from 32bit to 64bit ?
[18:33] <mast`> umm, the Ubuntu Forums are going crazy here. as soon as I log in they start refreshing constantly, under firefox and chrome also
[18:34] <xangua> !pae | jgcampbell300
[18:34] <Slart> jgcampbell300: you can't just install a 64bit kernel and make your distro 64bit.. you'll be better off reinstalling
[18:34] <jgcampbell300> thanks
[18:34] <llutz> jgcampbell300: its not that easy, you have to reinstall to get 64bit-sys
[18:34] <Slart> jgcampbell300: or use PAE if you just want to use more than 3-4 GB of memory
[18:34] <jm2k> guest18001: if you're not considering VM then try this: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-run-multiple-linux-distros-without-virtualization/2009/08/11
[18:34] <jgcampbell300> !pae
[18:35] <tuxifier> jgcampbell300: I wouldn't recommend PAE kernel - seems to be a bit crappy to me
[18:35] <jgcampbell300> tuxifier: whats wrong with it ?
[18:35] <llutz> tuxifier: theres nothing crappy with PAE, it just has some limitations
[18:35] <shact> headkase314: make clean was right, but still loads of errors
[18:35] <jgcampbell300> umm what kind of limitations ?
[18:36] <tuxifier> jgcampbell300: what I tried to say is you are better of with 64Bit
[18:36] <jgcampbell300> is there a way i can reinstall and get all of my settings and files and sutch back easly ?
[18:36] <EdwardIII> hey chaps - any window manager other than metacity (e.g. icewm) doesn't show up centered on screen. how can i fix this?
[18:37] <tuxifier> jgcampbell300: depends on what you call easy ;) No if you reinstall your disk will be "reformatted"
[18:37] <headkase314> shact, do you have all the dependencies installed for the package you are trying to install?  Usually the error messages will give clues to this if that is the case.  They will say along the lines of "missing, not found, etc." "./configure" if it was part of this package is really good for telling you if you are missing dependencies.
[18:37] <jgcampbell300> hmm what about getting a list of everything i have installed ... and there config files ?
[18:38] <headkase314> shact, when compiling from source you need a lot of "<package>-dev" packages installed.
[18:38] <tuxifier> jgcampbell300: just a second
[18:38] <bastid_raZor> !clone | jgcampbell300
[18:38] <muthu> any shortcut key are there now...?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> jgcampbell300: you will need to manually grab the configs
[18:38] <tuxifier> jgcampbell300: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html
[18:39] <shact> headkase314: just a min :)
[18:39] <headkase314> shact, ok
[18:39] <muthu> Any shortcut keys are available on the ubundu
[18:39] <tuxifier> jgcampbell300: configs must be saved manually
[18:39] <jgcampbell300> cool ... thanks ... i will start reading up on those options now
[18:39] <Snandy> How can I make a new slide show for my desktop?
[18:39] <thune3> jgcampbell300: i would examine your motives, what you are trying to accomplish, and ask if upgrading to 64-bit ubuntu would serve any reasonable purpose. (if you are just doing it for kicks, then fine)
[18:40] <wad> Under windows I can adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad on my lenovo laptop. Is there a way to do that under Ubuntu? It's driving me nuts. If, while typing, my hand just get's close, the darn thing moves my moves the pointer and clicks, and my typing starts flowing in the wrong place.
[18:40] <tom_> Is there a Fortran2003 compiler for Ubuntu 10.04?
[18:40] <jgcampbell300> well i need more ram for VM and other apps ... let me ask you this ... is 32bit more stable than 64bit ?
[18:41] <econdudeawesome> jgcampbell300 Not in my opinion, but that is an anecdote coming from direct use
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> jgcampbell300: both are equally stable
[18:41] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[18:41] <Mjuksel> hi
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> !hi | wildc4rd
[18:42] <econdudeawesome> jgcampbell300: John at schneider BAS, is that you?
[18:42] <jgcampbell300> well i guess i should go ahead and upgrade it and get it over with
[18:42] <tuxifier> jgcampbell300: I just have some flash issues on my 64bit sys
[18:42] <Mjuksel> hello all
[18:42] <Mjuksel> i have a question
[18:42] <jgcampbell300> no
[18:42] <econdudeawesome> jgcampbell300: fair enough
[18:42] <Mjuksel> my minimize/maximize (so title bar i guess) disappeared for all programs :S
[18:42] <jgcampbell300> why ?
[18:42] <thune3> jgcampbell300: so you have more memory on your system than 32-bit ubuntu can utilize?
[18:42] <jgcampbell300> yes 4g
[18:42] <xangua> Mjuksel: alt+f2 > metacity --replace > enter
[18:42] <econdudeawesome> jgcampbell300: He is a fellow Ubuntu acolyte that I haven't met in awhile ;-)
[18:42] <jgcampbell300> its my notebook
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: its called the window decorator
[18:43] <jgcampbell300> oh i see
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: do you use an nvidia video card?
[18:43] <jgcampbell300> sorry nope ... jeff
[18:43] <Mjuksel> ah okay
[18:43] <Mjuksel> yeah i have nvidia
[18:43] <econdudeawesome> Mjuksel: you can try opening gconf-editor, going to metacity, and changing "button layout". Easiest thing to do: Google Ubuntu left side buttons and follow the same thing to "move to the right"
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649480
[18:43] <Mjuksel> i know how to move them , thank you
[18:43] <Mjuksel> but sometimes they just tend to dissappear
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: you need that in your cxorg.conf
[18:44] <econdudeawesome> Mjuksel: weird. I don't know then. ActionParsnip is on hte scene tho ;-)

[18:44] <jm2k> help: i can't login via gnome desktop login dialog but i can login via terminal (recovery mode). after login via gnome desktop it returns back to login.

[18:47] <Mjuksel> ok after that do i need sudo apt-get install/upgrade?
[18:47] <Aidar-Nagato> tuxifier, no... it's like uptime
[18:47] <karthee> muthu: enna prachna ?
[18:47] <tuxifier> muthu: sun-java6-jdk
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: you should be fully upgraded anyway
[18:48] <kagekage> Aider-Nagato: how is what you want to do different than uptime
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: then run: emerald --replace      in an ALT+F2 dialogue and the decorators will be red, you can then get an emerald theme and apply it
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: it'll look like this: http://video.linux-noob.com/screenshots/ubuntu/7.04/post-1-1178480994.png
[18:49] <Aidar-Nagato> kagekage, it shows sum of all uptime =)

[18:49] <Mjuksel> ok well i installed emerald now
[18:49] <tuxifier> Aidar-Nagato: ? never heard of
[18:49] <Mjuksel> but nothing changed
[18:49] <Mjuksel> so i can remove emerald right away :p
[18:50] <Mjuksel> ah it uses gtk-window-decorator
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: did you run the command?
[18:50] <Mjuksel> yes i did

[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: ok then launch it in a terminal, see what it says
[18:50] <Mjuksel> start emerald in terminal
[18:51] <Mjuksel> im running emerald --replace now
[18:51] <Mjuksel> takes some time
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Mjuksel: personally I'd run:   sudo nvidia-xconfig   then add the extra options I gave in the link earlier, nvidia sometimes need those options
[18:51] <Aidar-Nagato> tuxifier, i saw it in wikipedia, but i forget it and can't find it now. if i'm not wrong it's short and prints something like "XXXh YYm"

[18:55] <leifw> grub problem, possibly: I have a fresh hard drive, with a bunch of partitions (three OS, one swap, one data), and ubuntu is installed on the first partition, with all of / mounted there as reiserfs.  the other OS partitions are empty, and the data partition is jfs.  I've run "update-grub" and "grub-install" countless times, and still, grub fails to load the menu and sticks me in a shell instead.  why does grub-install fail?
[18:55] <muthu> <tuxifier thank you..
[18:56] <Mjuksel> reb00t =)
[18:56] <leifw> rather, grub-install says it works fine, but grub is clearly not installed correctly
[18:56] <nixbox> i have compiled a vanilla kernel from kernel.org, without using debian/ubuntu specific tools for kernel compilation, is there a way to create a DEB out of it?
[18:56] <leifw> I read somewhere that if grub has to read farther than 1K cylinders into the disk or something, it'll fail, and I should repartition, but I'd rather not go through that hassle

[19:13] <welinux> JasenAngelov: what did you do before
[19:14] <headkase314> JasenAngelov, If you are using Ati hardware with proprietary drivers then this may appy: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/fix-compiz-slowness-for-proprietary-ati.html MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE IT APPLIES TO YOU BEFORE TRYING.
[19:14] <headkase314> *apply
[19:14] <JasenAngelov> No i dont use comiz  my PC is P4 1GB ram Hitachi 640 hard ATI X1950GT
[19:14] <welinux> JasenAngelov: the same for metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/560082
[19:15] <tucemiux> JasenAngelov, look at headkase314 post, it could be the ATI drivers are making your machine slow to a crawl
[19:16] <headkase314> JasenAngelov, tucemiux IT DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.  Proprietary drivers for an Ati X1950GT are not available for Ubuntu 10.04, JasenAngelov Are you on Ubuntu 10.04?

[19:17] <JasenAngelov> can i do somting ?
[19:17] <nullp0inter> JasenAngelov: you need to provide more details, otherwise no one can help
[19:17] <JasenAngelov> srry i dont have more details
[19:17] <fission6> ami going to regret getting a 630 dolalr laptop and putting ubuntu on it for programming, web surfacing, and word processing if the machine only has a dual core 1.3ghz processor
[19:18] <tucemiux> JasenAngelov, it could be your hard drive is about to die -- you can test by running a live CD on your machine, it could also be your motherboard, it could also be your trolling
[19:18] <nullp0inter> fission6: your getting ripped off...i paid 300 for a new laptop with better specs
[19:18] <fission6> link me
[19:18] <BluesKaj> fission6, seems like a rather slow cpu for 600bucks
[19:19] <fission6> was it thin and slick design, that matetrs to me too, yes i know its superifical
[19:19] <nullp0inter> fission6: do you have a microcenter near you?
[19:19] <fission6> microcenter?
[19:19] <dragenov> which one ubuntu 10.04 or mint 9 ????
[19:19] <Slart> dragenov: we only support ubuntu here..
[19:19] <c3l> how do I show the permission for a folder/file in octal (xxx)?
[19:19] <Slart> dragenov: try the live cd's first.. use the one you like
[19:20] <BluesKaj> fission6, or is that 1.3 ghz each core?
[19:20] <kagekage> c3l, try this ls -l | awk '{k=0;for(i=0;i<=8;i++)k+=((substr($1,i+2,1)~/[rwx]/)*2^(8-i));if(k)printf("%0o ",k);print}'
[19:20] <Wavesonics> hey i got a transmission server running, what permissions does a directory need for transmission to be able to download to it?
[19:21] <kagekage> It displays the octal form, followed by the normal ls -l output
[19:21] <nullp0inter> fission6: its a store
[19:21] <tuxifier> kagekage: nice one :P
[19:21] <tucemiux> fission6, a machine with a dual core?? that's overkill!!!  What you should worry about is to make sure your video and sound card work with ubuntu, if you dont care about audio and video and all you want is programming then just pick a laptop with the fastest processor, ubuntu should run fine on it, just do a search on a specific brand and model once you decide what laptop you want to buy
[19:21] <c3l> kagekage: thats just awesome, but awkward, thanks!
[19:21] <nixbox> with checkinstall, what if i have already done a "make" and do not want to do checkinstall again, is there a way to build a package then, without recompiling everything?
[19:21] <Freudlund> anyone inhere got perl working on LAMP? getting 500 errors nomatterwhat i do
[19:21] <fission6> sorry its this, http://www.amazon.com/UL30A-A2-Light-13-3-Inch-Silver-Laptop/dp/B002P3KMNU/ref=dp_cp_ob_pc_title_3
[19:21] <dragenov> slart: it isn't  the matter of happiness  it is the matter of perfection . and does n't ubuntu+debian=mint so mint =ubuntu
[19:21] <hotstew> Hey guys, I'm a bit confused to why so many program can only be found in launchpad but not in the official Ubuntu repository. Obviously they're trying to work with you. Also I wanted to know if there's an easier way to navigate through those launchpad program because I already actively use three of them.
[19:22] <Slart> dragenov: mint is based on ubuntu afaik but it's offtopic here.. we only support ubuntu
[19:22] <headkase314> nixbox, even though I gave a link I've never used checkinstall so can't help there... ;)
[19:22] <Pici> !mintsupport | dragenov
[19:22] <kagekage> c3l, if you have to do it often, consider editing ~/.bashrc
[19:23] <c3l> kagekage: ah nice :)
[19:23] <tucemiux> fission6, if you want to use that laptop for programming then it should be good. BEWARE:  you ***could*** have issues with the video card and maybe the sound card
[19:23] <leifw> it looks like, when I tabcomplete /boot/grub/grub.cfg inside the grub prompt, it thinks there are some extra nonsense bytes at the end (smiley faces and such)
[19:23] <thune3> hotstew: do you have an example one?
[19:23] <fission6> is it 1.3ghz in each core?
[19:23] <leifw> which would explain why it doesn't load it
[19:24] <leifw> but this is not the case once I boot
[19:24] <leifw> the filename is clean
[19:24] <tucemiux> fission6, ask in ##hardware
[19:24] <dragenov> ubottu: dear friend ; I do not look for support I need just opinion of the choice which  one is actually better?
[19:24] <fission6> already did haha
[19:24] <tucemiux> fission6, then you are trolling
[19:24] <Slart> dragenov: this is a support channel.. . only.. you could try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic though
[19:25] <fission6> sorry
[19:25] <fission6> im fone
[19:25] <fission6> done

[19:27] <kinjeta> I want to install windows 7. I have the ISO on my HD. I was searching the web for a method that would allow me to somehow install windows from the ISO without having to burn it to a disc or USB drive or anything. Is there a way this could work? If so, can you please walk me through it
[19:27] <kinjeta> Side note, if the windows installation wipes out ubuntu thats fine
[19:27] <Shact1> headkase314: yeah same old. how come i can't use a repo to get all the bits for me?

[19:28] <kinjeta> I've also created some unallocated HD space in case i need to create some other partitions or w/e
[19:28] <Freudlund> JoshuaL, thx
[19:28] <sum> Hi!
[19:28] <th0r> kinjeta: what has this to do with ubuntu?
[19:28] <headkase314> Shact1, do this: "make clean" "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" "make > tempfile" "pastebinit tempfile" And post the link "pastebinit tempfile" gives.
[19:28] <Shact1> ok
[19:29] <tucemiux> kinjeta, ask in ##windows
[19:29] <headkase314> Shact1, then you can "rm tempfile"
[19:29] <kinjeta> I'm using ubuntu as an OS ..
[19:29] <kinjeta> atm
[19:29] <thune3> hotstew: ppas are precicely for these niche apps that update frequently
[19:29] <tucemiux> kinjeta, you can ask in windows but if youre using ubuntu you can install windows 7 inside ubuntu using virtualbox
[19:29] <th0r> kinjeta: well, you can mount the iso to a directory using fuseiso
[19:30] <th0r> kinjeta: or you can burn it to a dvd/cd with brasero
[19:30] <hotstew> fair but is the browser the only way to find these programs?
[19:30] <tucemiux> kinjeta, did you download the windows 7 trial version ISO ?
[19:30] <sum> isos can be mounted via mount -o loop foo.iso /taret/dir
[19:30] <hotstew> or is there a general launchpad repository?
[19:30] <kinjeta> tucemiux: No it's a full version Iso
[19:30] <Saevar> kinjeta, mount -t iso9660 -o loops <iso_path> <where to>
[19:31] <Shact1> headkase314:  pastebin.com/9sLpFmrQ
[19:31] <headkase314> Shact1, ok, let me look at that...
[19:31] <thune3> hotstew. no. you add an app specific repository (ppa), such as https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa
[19:32] <kinjeta> Thanks for the assistance all, I'll try using virtualbox to install it
[19:32] <welinux> kinjeta: or try WMware Player
[19:32] <hotstew> okay thanks, I wish there was a more organized way to navigate through programs in launchpad
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | hotstew
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> hotstew: a search box good enough?
[19:34] <welinux> hotstew: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources
[19:34] <headkase314> Shact1, when you did "make > tempfile" did you see anything output on the screen?  You should have seen nothing, if you did see output then the redirect to a file (">") didn't capture it all?  I say that because I see no error messages in what you posted?  Perhaps someone else can post how to capture a complete "make" output if so?
[19:35] <kinjeta> With the utilization of virtualbox...once windows is installed, is removing Ubuntu and retaining windows an option?
[19:35] <Shact1> headkase314:  yes some stuff came up on screen
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> headkase314: just go oldschool and copy / paste
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Shact1: what are you compiling?
[19:36] <headkase314> Shact1, ok, that sounds good!  Then pastebin that!
