[04:57] <Random832> what makes ifconfig include things in non-a output?
[04:57] <Bandit> unplumb will take down an interface in solaris
[04:58] <Bandit> i can bring an interface down, but it pops backup on restart
[04:58] <Bandit> i want to bring it completely down
[04:58] <ruan> run a script that takes it down on startup?
[04:58] <Random832> or find what script is bringing it up on startup
[04:58] <SwedeMike> Bandit: on restart it's default down in solaris, it's not in linux and from the responses here, you can understand that people don't understand the solaris behaviour (and frankly, I never did either)
[04:59] <axilla> anyone able to hook ubuntu up to a 1080p TV?
[04:59] <axilla> I have a 47" sanyo can't seem to get any picture.

[05:00] <SwedeMike> axilla: yes, it works here. have multiple htpc setups.
[05:00] <axilla> Have tried both over HDMI and VGA
[05:00] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip, you still around
[05:00] <axilla> SwedeMike: Any special drivers?
[05:00] <SwedeMike> axilla: no, it's a regular monitor. it's not different, works for me out of the box.

[05:02] <chaosc> hi all -- rt2870sta question -- 100% wireless functionality on Ubuntu and Mint livecds, when I install, functionality ceases. I am supposing this has to do with the fact that LiveCD is probably only using rt2870sta for wireless driver...and the install gives more drivers and thus causes a driver conflict?
[05:02] <chaosc> yet, when i blacklist the other drivers, it still doesn't work
[05:02] <chaosc> and i tried installing the driver from the website, as well as new firmware.
[05:02] <chaosc> this is something i've been working on for months, so not much I haven't tried.
[05:02] <visual1ce> hi

[05:09] <frybye> oh jeez - where is the user who was helping me a few mins ago with my grub 2 problems...?
[05:10] <needhelp1> what would be the best way to set up something to share files with over my router for my home network
[05:10] <needhelp1> samba ?
[05:10] <pmiller> Is this the correct channel for kvm virtualization questions?
[05:10] <frybye> ActionParsnip: perhaps you remember that I have a name-memory prob - can you remind me who had been helping me here with the win7 dual boot missing from grub?
[05:11] <NotMe>
[05:12] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip, im back, still having the sharing network folder issue
[05:12] <shawnboy> Has anyone here ever moved a hdd with Ubuntu from one PC to another successfully (without fresh install)?
[05:13] <jasjus> ubuntu 10.10 cannot restart samba.. how tosolve?
[05:13] <zerito> I used to run Ubuntu on an external and used it on two pcs without a problem
[05:14] <cavalier_prime> shawnboy, ubuntu isn't like windows, drivers are in the kernel, usually doesn't have a problem with disparate hardware
[05:14] <visual1ce> so 2 out of last 4 boots - nothing on screen. in last failed boot i see this in syslog: gdm-binary[1131]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 1.209197 seconds and no similar entry for my current session
[05:14] <visual1ce> could this be the problem?
[05:15] <shawnboy> cavalier_prime: ok. I guess I'll give it a try then. I may uninstall prop video drivers first.
[05:15] <cavalier_prime> yeah
[05:15] <Carter_> hello everyone
[05:15] <toby> ok so i think i finally compiled my cockatrice program correctly but now i dont know where to find it
[05:15] <shawnboy> cavalier_prime: any other key drivers I should maybe uninstall? NIC?
[05:16] <cavalier_prime> shawnboy, if anything just the vid driver i would think
[05:16] <svm_invictvs> I'm trying to install matchbox-window-manager on Maverick
[05:16] <svm_invictvs> is that possible?
[05:16] <axilla> bah, ubuntu doesn't even recognize my tv
[05:16] <axilla> :*
[05:16] <svm_invictvs> According to packages.ubuntu.com it is, but I must be missing something bcause I can't find it.
[05:16] <needhelp1> is there a better way to set up a file server on ubunto other than samba?
[05:16] <shawnboy> cavalier_prime: ok. wow, what a help it will be if it turns out well. I'll try soon. Thanks for feedback.
[05:17] <cavalier_prime> gl
[05:17] <cavalier_prime> needhelp1, samba is it.  I use a NAS on my home network for that tho
[05:18] <teichert> is there any way to install NASM without internet?
[05:18] <needhelp1> im having issues with samba, i have folders selected to be shared on this pc, but they are not showing up on other pcs on the network
[05:18] <visual1ce> in both unsuccessful and successful sessions i have this: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: if you run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    you can type your userpassword for the samba password and add a samba user you can now authenticate with. You can then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf    and add something like this to the bottom: http://pastebin.com/cmD7eNym
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: thas how I manage shares, its nice to do it that way as you can ssh into the server, edit the file and then restart the smbd service (which you should do after changing the file) and the new share will be available
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> visual1ce: here is mine: http://pastebin.com/5GSFZ0xp
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> visual1ce: obviously change the AutomaticLogin line
[05:21] <j_ayen_green> I booted from a live cd to check my ext4 file system after a crash... it shows as/dev/sda1, but if I try to fsck it says it's mounted or busy, if I try to umount it says it's not mounted
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> j_ayen_green: then run: mount   and if its mounted, unmounted
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> unmount it*
[05:23] <j_ayen_green> ActionParsnip: thx :)
[05:23] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip, do you mind if i pm you ?
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: go for it :)
[05:24] <hexdump_> eh just have a quick question it's probably really easy
[05:24] <hexdump_> I'm setting my ip static and underneath netmask it says "network" what ip is that?
[05:24] <j_ayen_green> ActionParsnip: would I just sudo mount -t ext4 ?

[05:27] <Carter_> haha  This is the first to use irc
[05:27] <Slix`> I know I can install the packages from the Gnome 3 repo, but won't that overwrite the current apps and leave me unable to switch back?
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> login_screen: you can only change the wallpaper and login box colour
[05:27] <frybye> update-grub did not do it - I will try the other.. hang on pse..
[05:28] <login_screen> ActionParsnip: because it's Maverick right
[05:28] <visual1ce> thx ActionParsnip

[05:33] <jamiewan> jiltdil, type who in a terminal

[05:34] <brontoeee> awkisopen, possibly editing hosts file
[05:34] <zvacet> frybye : reinstalling grub should help see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from LiveCD

[05:34] <caffine> i'm trying to resize a lvm in ubuntu live CD to make space for an install. i've done everything up to and including resizing the filesystem. now i need to resize the lvm, but i don't know where to find it. how do i do that?
[05:35] <awkisopen> in reality i'm trying to make ubuntu resolve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version to http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Uncyclopedia:AutoWikibrowser/CheckPage/Version
[05:35] <shaghost> !lvm
[05:35] <frybye> zvacet: grub2 is apparently fine - just dosent have the win7 boot option in it - I have no live cd for 11.04 - upgraded from 10.10 with update-manager -d
[05:36] <shaghost> caffine: see if that helps
[05:36] <zvacet> frybye : you can use Maverick live cd
[05:36] <j_ayen_green> something autoloaded the file system ... how can I 'unbusy' it so I can run fsck?
[05:36] <frybye> zvacet: do you think re-installing grub2 would fix this...?
[05:36] <zvacet> frybye: it should
[05:36] <frybye> ok I go have a look at the instructions...
[05:38] <j_ayen_green> what's the ubuntu equivalent of pmount?
[05:38] <shaghost> j_ayen_green: what is pmount?
[05:39] <j_ayen_green> shaghost: I was told to enter that to see if something had privately mounted the file system, since it is busy, but it's not a command
[05:39] <j_ayen_green> (told by a non-ubuntu person)
[05:40] <axilla> how do i change which monitor is primary in ubuntu?
[05:40] <shaghost> j_ayen_green: it is a waper arround mount
[05:40] <SkullTraill> whos attending the ubuntu Jam?
[05:40] <Ozzapoo> Hi. How can I see a directory's total size in terminal?
[05:40] <awkisopen> axilla: system -> preferences -> monitors?
[05:40] <shaghost> du
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> Ozzapoo: du -h /path/to/folder | tail -n 1
[05:41] <shaghost> Ozzapoo: du
[05:41] <Ozzapoo> thanks
[05:41] <j_ayen_green> shaghost: ah, ok. well, i have a catch 22.. fsck returns /dev/sda1 is busy or mounted. umount says not mounted. mount -t ext4 says nothing, but then still cannot umount
[05:41] <shaghost> j_ayen_green: type mount
[05:41] <visual1ce> thx ActionParsnip seems to be working... i was a bit shocked that it logged in without my password... how can it do that? i mean doesn't gdm need to store my password somewhere?
[05:42] <visual1ce> in any case i changed it so i need to login...
[05:42] <j_ayen_green> shaghost: mount doesn't show it (or any ext4) mounted... just /dev/sr0 and dev/loop0 (running from an .iso as 'try' instead of 'install')
[05:43] <shaghost> j_ayen_green: did you ever mount it or place it in fstab?
[05:43] <jiltdil> is method for mounting ext4,ext2,ext3 partition are different from each other?
[05:43] <shaghost> jiltdil: mounting once or on every boot
[05:44] <jiltdil> shaghost:plz tell both as m unaware of it
[05:44] <j_ayen_green> shaghost: it had been mounted as my file system, then i had a hang. did the magic sysrq keys, and then every boot put me in grub. So i just booted from the livecd iso, selected "try ubuntu" rather than installing, and the file system shows in fdisk, but I cant get to it
[05:45] <shaghost> !mount | jiltdil
[05:45] <shaghost> !fstab | jiltdil
[05:45] <jiltdil> shaghost:thanx
[05:45] <shaghost> first one is for one time, second one is auto on bootup

[05:48] <j_ayen_green> shaghost: the file system shows in the places pulldown...is that what's making it busy?
[05:48] <shaghost> j_ayen_green: no ieda
[05:48] <caffine> shaghost: don't think it's really helping. i don't see where it's telling me where to find the VGs in ubuntu. i see vgchange -a y my_volume_group in chapter 11.3, but I don't know what "my_volume_group is supposed to be.
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> tecra: search in software centre, makes sense though
[05:49] <shaghost> caffine: remind me what your problum was
[05:50] <shaghost> ooo lmv one, i always installed just using the whole harddrive, so no ieda on it
[05:50] <tecra> ActionParsnip: where is "software centre"?
[05:50] <tecra> i dont have kubuntu

[05:52] <awkisopen> is there any way to redirect one URL to another URL in ubuntu?
[05:52] <caffine> shaghost: i set up an LVM running fedora. i want to split it in half to run ubuntu on half. i've done all the steps so far up to resizing the underlying filesystem. now i need to lvresize but i can't find the way to determine what LogicalVolumePath is.
[05:53] <tecra> apt-get install software-center ?
[05:53] <shaghost> caffine: not my area
[05:53] <j_ayen_green> or how do I skip loading gnome and just get the cli?
[05:53] <shaghost> tecra: what version of ubuntu?
[05:53] <xangua> arrrghhh: synaptic
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: uninstall the unecessary kernels using software centre or apt-get and they will be removed
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> tecra: its part of a standard install
[05:54] <caffine> shaghost: okey dokey. thanks anyways.
[05:54] <arrrghhh> ActionParsnip: xangua, there isn't an "automatic" way?  I have to search and remove them by hand?
[05:54] <jamiewan> tecra, applications menu at the bottom most likely
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: yep its manual, the old kernels are left so that if a new kernel is bad you can boot to the old one
[05:55] <shaghost> awkisopen: look at iptables and // or dns
[05:55] <arrrghhh> ActionParsnip: no i know but i figured computer janitor or apt-get autoremove would do it...?
[05:55] <awkisopen> shaghost: I have, but those only redirect IPs, I need a specific URL to resolve to another specific URL
[05:55] <shaghost> j_ayen_green: do you want to keep dnome on system?
[05:55] <shaghost> awkisopen: dns routing tables?
[05:55] <j_ayen_green> shaghost: yes, I just want to try to prevent it from autoloading that file system so I can run fsck
[05:56] <awkisopen> shaghost: where are those located?
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: autoremove only removes packages which are no longer needed if you get ruid of highabstraction apps, then the old libs which are not used by anything else will be removed
[05:56] <tecra> shaghost: i have backtrack4 rc2 installed
[05:56] <tecra> its not a standard install
[05:57] <shaghost> j_ayen_green: well i can tell you the simple way or complex =P   simple: break x-server (this i have done a _LOT_ on axadent
[05:57] <arrrghhh> ActionParsnip: so manual is the only way?
[05:58] <j_ayen_green> shaghost: so no keystroke to boot to cli or something? again, i'm booting from the .iso read-only, that said, how would I break X if that's the option?
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: as far as I know, yes
[05:59] <xangua> tecra: backtrack is not supported here
[05:59] <tecra> but its ubuntu...
[06:00] <arrrghhh> ActionParsnip: ah well... regex to the rescue.
[06:00] <shaghost> I am trying to do too mcuh
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> tecra: backtrack isnt supported here
[06:00] <shaghost> tecra: what about backtrace?
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> tecra: backtrack is backtrack, ubuntu is ubuntu
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack
[06:00] <tecra> ok thanks
[06:00] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: bakctrace is ubuntu based... lightly
[06:00] <shaghost> it does use ubuntu backend
[06:01] <shaghost> but a diffrent frontend
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> shaghost: based yes, but its not ubuntu, its backtrack
[06:01] <shaghost> true
[06:01] <shaghost> but i have been using backtrace a lot in the last 20 days

[06:04] <shaghost> jnpenley: sudo apt-get install gcc-4.5
[06:04] <koolhead11> fastijum, ok
[06:05] <visual1ce> lol
[06:05] <jnpenley> No idea.  I am trying to build a package that requires it.  BSNES

[06:06] <visual1ce> me neither...
[06:06] <koolhead11> fastijum, there is no pkg with name ncurses
[06:06] <kenesis> anyone?
[06:06] <koolhead11> kenesis, shoot
[06:06] <fastijum> koolhead11: yeah, sorry. I meant libncurses
[06:06] <shaghost> kenesis: what was the question
[06:06] <koolhead11> fastijum, :P ok
[06:07] <fastijum> koolhead11: that should contain the termcaps as well
[06:07] <kenesis> i need to get 2 finger scrolling on my samsung n120
[06:07] <kenesis> plz and thanks
[06:07] <worldwarcheese> I have a stupid easy request for something really simple. I need someone to send me a skype chat to see if my new webcam works on Skype.
[06:07] <leapy0yo> ls -l |less -R  is not showing colors of ls  neither does -r
[06:08] <shaghost> kenesis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144125    see if anything there works
[06:08] <fastijum> leapy0yo: use ls --color=always
[06:08] <kenesis> ill try
[06:08] <leapy0yo> thanks
[06:08] <fastijum> leapy0yo: or --colors
[06:09] <koolhead11> fastijum, cool. let me check that
[06:09] <svm_invictvs> How do you determine what kind of object a GameObject is?
[06:09] <svm_invictvs> Tag?
[06:09] <kenesis> shaghost, that had nothin
[06:09] <worldwarcheese> Any takers? I know it's not cool, and a bit personal (vid-chatting, but I don't need to see you you jut have to see me), it's just I have an important call coming through soon and the skype on linux doesn't seem to be all that reliable. The webcam works, but will it work on skype??? I just need to make sure.
[06:10] <red2kic> worldwarcheese: If the webcam work in cheese, it'll work with skype. I have used skype in the past. Worked fine.
[06:10] <bin_bash> How do I check my IP address in terminal?
[06:10] <red2kic> bin_bash: ifconfig (for local ip)
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> bin_bash: lan address or wan address?
[06:10] <shaghost> kenesis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9209315
[06:11] <bin_bash> ifconfig didn't show it
[06:11] <bin_bash> just my router IP
[06:11] <shaghost> so you want extrenal ip
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> bin_bash: do you mean its external IP or internal ip?
[06:11] <bin_bash> yeah
[06:11] <bin_bash> sorry
[06:11] <worldwarcheese> red2kic: I tried another webcam and it worked both in cheese and in the skype test, but didn't in the actual chat. I'm worried about having the same results again with the new one (and thanks for the reply)
[06:11] <bin_bash> how do I check my external ip in terminal
[06:11] <j_ayen_green> shaghost: holding shift when it boots doesn't seem to bring up grub2
[06:11] <red2kic> worldwarcheese: I think you have to manually start the video chat.
[06:12] <red2kic> worldwarcheese: When you're connected, look for "Start video or webcam" something.
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> bin_bash: curl -s   http://getip.110mb.com/mini/index.php?v=ahp
[06:12] <bin_bash> ActionParsnip: not found
[06:12] <worldwarcheese> red2kic: Yeah, I can toggle the vid on and off but just a white square came up before (with the 1st webcam, haven't tried it on the new one)
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> bin_bash: run it as a command in terminal
[06:13] <shaghost> j_ayen_green: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing the CD's Default Boot Options
[06:13] <bin_bash> ActionParsnip: I did.
[06:13] <shaghost> that was the area that i was looking out
[06:13] <bin_bash> zsh: command not found: curl
[06:13] <shaghost> wget
[06:13] <shaghost> then
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> wget -q -O - http://getip.110mb.com/mini/index.php?v=ahp
[06:13] <red2kic> worldwarcheese: Hmm. Look in options. Make sure it's pointed at the correct /dev/video (whatever) -- then restart Skype. I used my webcam + 2 XboxLive Vision cams. Worked fine. I was messing around with security cameras and etc etc.
[06:14] <red2kic> worldwarcheese: Not sure about window square thing. Never happened -- but if you're switching videos feeds, you need to restart Skype.
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> bin_bash: install curl, its dead handy
[06:14] <iflema> bin_bash: wget www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O -o /dev/null | more
[06:15] <iflema> bin_bash: this even... wget www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - -o /dev/null | more
[06:15] <bin_bash> k
[06:15] <worldwarcheese> red2kic: Yeah, I got about that far with guides I found on google. Everything checks out, but they checked out the 1st time too. Would you mind just sending me a test call? You don't need to use video yourself or anything. I just need to be 100% on this.
[06:16] <kenesis> shaghost, that still didnt work now i have no scrolling on the touchpad, but it did stop the mouse from spazzing when two fingers are on
[06:17] <jnpenley> sudo apt-get install gcc-4.5 g++-4.5 doesn't work it is not included in the repositories.  At least I can't find the correct one.
[06:17] <shaghost> kenesis: well.... all i have is google as i have no simmular computer to work with, just google stuff like n120 ubuntu touchpad

[06:19] <shaghost> jnpenley: do you have a version of gcc installed alredy?
[06:19] <worldwarcheese> red2kic: 'Sokay, thanks anyways. I'll just have to wait for dawn and someone local who can call me or something.

[06:21] <ActionParsnip> shaghost: 10.10 maverick
[06:21] <shaghost> you should not need to worry abou 4.4.5 vs 4.5 ass not that much changed
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> jnpenley: look at the version number then think about how often ubuntu is released ;)
[06:22] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: 10.10 here, but "Linux weardass 2.6.36-1-lowlatency #7~ppa2-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 26 13:39:35 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[06:24] <jnpenley> shaghost:  I agree, but when I try to make the package it complains about not having gcc-4.5 and g++-4.5

[06:25] <corinth> Hey #ubuntu. I just installed UNR via Wubi, and after installing the ATI driver, my graphical desktop no longer loads
[06:25] <shaghost> jnpenley: what package
[06:26] <shaghost> corinth: dpkg-reconfigure
[06:27] <jnpenley> shaghost: The source in question is "BSNES"
[06:27] <corinth> shaghost, just across the board?
[06:28] <shaghost> corinth: there is one for ati, so just use tab completion to figure it out
[06:28] <corinth> Ah thanks. I appreciate the tip
[06:29] <shaghost> jnpenley: get the .deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/g++-4.5
[06:29] <jnpenley> siavashserver: the exact error is "make: g++-4.5: Command not found"  "make: *** [obj/ui-main.o] Error 127"
[06:30] <jnpenley> shaghost: I will give it a try!
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> shaghost: the .38 kernel has nice stuff to make it whizzy :)
[06:33] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: i need to upgrade, just slightly more complacated with the lowlatancy kernal
[06:35] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: ooooooo i have linux-image-2.6.37-8-lowlatency
[06:35] <shaghost> in repos
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> shaghost: do you do a lot of sound production?
[06:35] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: did
[06:36] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: i did some internet dj stuff
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> shaghost: then why low latency?
[06:37] <shaghost> i might as well keep it
[06:37] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: eather way i dont see linux-image newer then that in repos
[06:38] <xANiTAx> heya
[06:38] <j_ayen_green> would debugfs:  clri <8> clear the journal entry for ext4? It's listed in an ext3 example
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> shaghost: it is in natty :)
[06:39] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: so 11.04
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> shaghost: indeed
[06:40] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: that means i cant use local repos, as they are updated up to 10.10
[06:41] <erkan^> when i install .deb, is that good "sudo dpkg +i" ?
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[06:44] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: i can do deb http://mirrors.arsc.edu/ubuntu/packages/ natty-updates main
[06:44] <shaghost> in maverick right

[06:48] <ActionParsnip> same

[06:48] <rogue> hello
[06:48] <rogue> vikash
[06:49] <shaghost> ActionParsnip: but i am still scared to upgrade to 11.04 with the ratical changes
[06:49] <Vikash> rogue:
[06:49] <jnpenley> shaghost:  gcc-4.5 and g++-4.5 both installed and is building my package now.  Thanks for the assist!

[06:54] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: mixing debian debs is not advised or supported. Log a bug to say the later version fixes it. I suggest you find an ubuntu ppa
[06:55] <erkan^> ok, but I can not found ppa for lekhonee-gnome, ActionParsnip
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> !ppa
[06:57] <erkan^> ActionParsnip: No matching Personal Package Archive for 'lekhonee-gnome'.
[06:58] <robbiethe1st> Quick question guys. I have a harddisk - /dev/sdb - that was previously used in a fakeraid setup. It's not currently being used in such a setup, but I keep seeing this  error: "ERROR: pdc: wrong # of devices in RAID set "pdc_echcibhbhb" [1/2] on /dev/sdb". Any way to -delete- that fakeraid record and make dmraid ignore it?

[07:04] <DOokami> Hi guys :)
[07:04] <DOokami> how do i "locate" and "open" a text file for example, using the terminal solely ?
[07:04] <quibbler> !welcome | DOokami
[07:05] <DOokami> quibbler: hey :)
[07:05] <elFidel> DOokami: locate/find to locate a file && open using a random texteditor like vim/vi/nano
[07:05] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: Um... you mean, say, "find / -name *name*"
[07:05] <elFidel> sk_: .bashrc
[07:06] <DOokami> elFidel: robbiethe1st: ,, i don't know actually ,, i wanna know the code so i can learn it and try it out on all types of files
[07:06] <robbiethe1st> Uh... what code?
[07:06] <DOokami> to open "anyfile" lets say text, via just the terminal
[07:06] <elFidel> DOokami: "man find" will explain the find command
[07:06] <DOokami> find and open
[07:07] <cutout> Hi, my ubuntu installation was currupted and now it won't boot due to changes to filesystem permission changes. I need to backup mysql db before I reinstall. is it possible yo backup mysql from the filesystem using a live cd?
[07:07] <DOokami> elFidel: it's a lot to read ,, i need the code
[07:07] <elFidel> DOokami: man nano will explain the editor nano
[07:07] <robbiethe1st> cutout: Yup
[07:07] <elFidel> DOokami: well then ignore me
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> cutout: why do you not have a backup already?
[07:07] <cutout> robbiethe1st, how please!
[07:07] <DOokami> elFidel: :| .. well, thanks for the help ..
[07:07] <elFidel> is reading evil nowadays?
[07:07] <histo> cutout: yes
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> cutout: you can access the partitions from the livecd
[07:07] <cutout> and?
[07:08] <cutout> where is the db data
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> cutout: and get your data of it. Its wherever you put it
[07:08] <robbiethe1st> cutout: Well, erm, you'd want to find the .myd files; everything you want will be where you find one or more .myd file
[07:08] <blackshirt> cutout: what you mean db data
[07:08] <DOokami> hmm .. ElFidel: if ur having a bad day, don't blame it on me ^^
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> cutout: do you have a backup of the data?
[07:09] <kenesis> any way to make xchat text show in a popup with a pm/ping like in windows?
[07:09] <robbiethe1st> Mind you, even if he -has- a backup, I'd still try to restore from the "working" copy, as it'll be more up to date
[07:09] <DOokami> so .. can some one help me, let's say there's a text file named "x" and i want to open it via any gedit ,, with only using the terminal ,, what would the code be ?
[07:09] <cutout> robbiethe1st: and to restore after, i need to put them on the new installation at the same place I got the?
[07:09] <sk_> elFidel: the return line states '.bashrc:command not found'. Then back the the SN@KnCluster:~$
[07:09] <robbiethe1st> cutout: Yes, basically. you'll want to copy the entire directory
[07:10] <elFidel> sk_: you need to edit your .bashrc
[07:10] <cutout> robbiethe1st: thanks a lot!!!!
[07:10] <elFidel> not just entering a filename
[07:10] <robbiethe1st> cutout: NP. Personally, I used that trick when switching from CentOS to Ubuntu a while back, and it worked amazingly well, so...
[07:11] <cutout> robbiethe1st: u r the best :D
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> kenesis: http://wan.pengganas.net/entry/xchat-tcl-plugin-nick-notification-system/
[07:11] <kenesis> gracias man
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> cutout: I suggest you look into backups, then you wouldnt have this mess
[07:11] <sk_> elFidel: what bash file do I change, and what should I edit?
[07:11] <robbiethe1st> cutout: It should be under /var/lib/mysql. Just copy the entire directory
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> cutout: if your drive motor died suddenly you wouldnt have the livecd to rely on and you would have to pay a LOT for professional data recovery, or you can pay very little for a cheap USB device to backup to
[07:12] <elFidel> sk_: .bashrc is the file you want to a) back  - then b) read & c) edit if you got the logic of creating a user-specific prompt
[07:12] <cutout> ActionParsnip: just keep it to your self
[07:12] <elFidel> sk_: good luck ;)
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> cutout: i'm just educating you in what CAN happen
[07:13] <elFidel> sk_: *backup* -> read -> edit ;)
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> cutout: one day it will happen and you'll remember this
[07:13] <robbiethe1st> ActionParsnip: To be fair, even if I did weekly(or even daily) backups, if the system was actually in production, it'd be better to use the working copy, not some "old" backup.
[07:13] <robbiethe1st> Backups are all fine and good... but they aren't up-to-the-minute.
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: if the data changes that frequently then  more frequent backups are needed
[07:14] <DOokami> so .. can some one help me, let's say there's a text file named "x" and i want to open it via any gedit ,, with only using the terminal ,, what would the code be ?
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: I look after company SQL servers of several terrabyte database file and we backup nightly
[07:14] <robbiethe1st> Ah, but you have the funds and disk-space to do it.
[07:15] <robbiethe1st> Most people would be lucky to get it once a week. And at that rate, sure, if things fail, having the backups a -good- thing and a small inconvienience for people using the system, but it's still easier to just take the working copy :\
[07:15] <recoilman> gedit path to x
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: no we still use tapes :(
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: not my choice
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: but still backups are important
[07:16] <robbiethe1st> And in that case, you'd have to spend -how- long finding the data and retreiving it? I'm not discounting backups, but in this case, where the disk is fine... why bother?
[07:16] <DOokami> recoilman: is there a way to add the "find or locate" code with the "gedit x" so i can do this in one line ?
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: because the drive could fail, it does happen
[07:17] <elFidel> DOokami: name-of-your-text-editor /path/to/your/file
[07:17] <robbiethe1st> ActionParsnip: Yes. But it didn't, so why bother restoring from a backup.
[07:17] <elFidel> DOokami: the find example was mentioned already several minutes before
[07:18] <neil_d> how can I test if a java app from a web page can play sound?
[07:18] <elFidel> sidenote: it does help if you just not wait to type commands others do write for you in irc .... learning curve etc ;)
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: thats not my point, the point is there is no backup of the data and the drive can fail. The data is clearly important yet there is zero DR path
[07:18] <DOokami> elFidel: thanks for reaccepting me :D .. my question ,, can i have the "find" and "gedit" commands in one line so that it finds and open the file with a single terminal
[07:18] <elFidel> DOokami: i stop here - thats not reaccepting ;)
[07:19] <DOokami> elFidel: i don't get it lol ,, but thanks ^^
[07:19] <robbiethe1st> ActionParsnip: Lets say he had a full disk-backup. He'd still be up against the problem of "where are the important files?"
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: if s/he wants to learn the hard way then thats fine but i've got my "i told you so" sign ready
[07:20] <j_ayen_green> well, that didnt work either. anybody, some idea on how to get an ext4 file system unbusy so I can run fsck on it? :(
[07:21] <blackshirt> maybe need to be unmounted :)
[07:21] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Boot off a LiveCD, and run it from there?
[07:21] <robbiethe1st> (assuming it's the root file system)
[07:21] <j_ayen_green> i've booted off livecd, and it shows on fdisk as /dev/sda1, but trying to unmount says it's not mounted, trying to mount and unmount the same
[07:22] <DOokami> A text file named "x" ,, i want to "Locate*Find" it and open it with "gedit" ,, writing a single line in a terminal ,, how do i do that ?
[07:22] <j_ayen_green> it doesn't show in mount
[07:22] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: And if you type "sudo fsck /dev/sda1" what happens?
[07:23] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: try "gedit `find / -name x`"
[07:23] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: it tells me that it's busy or opened exclusively by another program
[07:23] <DOokami> robbiethe1st: thanks, i'll try it now
[07:23] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: it shows in Places, but can't get to it there
[07:24] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: I think, however, that you're being silly - You want to use find to find paths to things, then -remember- those paths and type/paste them in as needed.
[07:25] <Israfel> Damn you TurboTax for not supporting Ubuntu!
[07:25] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Hm... try installing gparted, open it up, and see if you can unmount/run fsck from there. It might help
[07:25] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: I've been up all night with this... 10.4 hung, i did the magic sysrq keystrokes to reboot, and it wouldn't reboot...kept dropping me into grub saying it couldn't init, and I've been trying to get to it to run fsck on it ever since
[07:25] <DOokami> robbiethe1st: ,, :( i don't know why u guys think this is silly ,, isn't IRC the foundation of sharing knowledge ,, all i want is to "open a file with a terminal, without having to know it's exact path, only by it's exact name" .. is that really silly ? .. still trying ur input up there and thanks again.

[07:27] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: It's more the manner of asking, and yes, it is silly - What if there are a half-dozen files with that name?
[07:27] <robbiethe1st> (in different directories)
[07:27] <Chilaquiles> I want to be able to see one files in the other computer
[07:27] <moltendorf> Hey all, been having a lot of fun with Ubuntu 10.10 server since I started using it about a week ago (prior experience in CentOS 5.5/Red Hat and DD-WRT +4 years of Ubuntu Desktop), and got into the server set-up mood, so I decided to convert my Mac Mini 2010 to a home server running Ubuntu 10.10 wirelessly. I had no problem connecting via eth0, but I can't seem to get the wlan interface to work, anyone know the packages I need to
[07:27] <Chilaquiles> and viceversa
[07:27] <shaghost> !samba | Chilaquiles
[07:27] <mackdieselx27> Chilaquiles:  You'll need to set up Samba on your Ubuntu box.  Just right click on a folder to be shared and choose Properties.
[07:28] <shaghost> Chilaquiles: are the both linux?
[07:28] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: I'm not sure what I can tell you. Something's F'd up here. I'd try gparted, see what happens
[07:28] <Chilaquiles> yeah they are both ubuntu
[07:28] <shaghost> scrach samba
[07:28] <Chilaquiles> ok
[07:28] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: can you be more specific? I never heard of gparted
[07:28] <shaghost> Chilaquiles: there is a way to mount via ssh
[07:28] <shaghost> sec
[07:28] <Chilaquiles> ssh?
[07:29] <Chilaquiles> mhh
[07:29] <shaghost> secure socuit shell
[07:29] <Chilaquiles> yeah
[07:29] <Chilaquiles> but I don't think I want taht
[07:29] <Chilaquiles> that
[07:29] <shaghost> Chilaquiles: you want filesharing right
[07:29] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: "sudo apt-get install gparted" ;)
[07:29] <Chilaquiles> I want to have a network like in windows
[07:29] <Chilaquiles> where you see the other computer in your networks
[07:29] <Chilaquiles> you click networks
[07:29] <shaghost> Chilaquiles: you can do a windows like one or you can mount the other computer network on the hardrive
[07:30] <Chilaquiles> and then you see the computers that are connected, etc.
[07:30] <mackdieselx27> Chilaquiles:  If you have local IP addresses on your boxes like 192.168.1.x then you have a LAN
[07:30] <shaghost> other computer hardrive
[07:30] <mkquist> j_ayen_green: gparted is how linux partition drives
[07:30] <mackdieselx27> And all you need to do is set up Samba or SSH in order to share files
[07:30] <Chilaquiles> mackdieselx27: ok now can I se the other computer?
[07:30] <DOokami> robbiethe1st: ... 1. it opened a "new empty file" not the one i have ... 2. i asked nicely .. did i offend u in anyway ,, ? .. it's just that other guys said "read the man" and i said "it's a lot to read" ,, hence i was looking for the "combinging of "find" and "gedit" command .. which is not written in there.
[07:30] <shaghost> ssh is the secure way to do it, you will be ale to browse it via a gui and see it just like a windows fileshare in linux only
[07:31] <mackdieselx27> Chilaquiles:  If you have local IP addresses your second box should see the first
[07:31] <Chilaquiles> Samba? first they told me not to use it and now they tell me to use it
[07:31] <shaghost> if you do want a windows file share you can do samba
[07:31] <Chilaquiles> im confused
[07:31] <shaghost> ok
[07:31] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: and what does just "find / -name x" return? Does it actually return your file? If not... it won't help
[07:31] <Chilaquiles> ok
[07:31] <moltendorf> Anyone familiar with running Ubuntu Server 10.10 on a Mac Mini over Wireless?
[07:31] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: it's already installed. how do i invoke it? just sudo gparted gave me a blank screen and said nothing was found
[07:31] <shaghost> ssh is the secure way to do it, as you mount the other computer harddrive in your own, so you can see it all and it is automatical there on bootup, samba is the windows file share thing where you can view it when you connect
[07:31] <Chilaquiles> I have done ssh but all i see is a terminal with no GUI
[07:32] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Try looking in the start menu under 'system' or something
[07:32] <shaghost> Chilaquiles: sec, i will find a guide
[07:32] <Chilaquiles> ok
[07:32] <Chilaquiles> thx
[07:32] <shaghost> Chilaquiles: have you ever edited /etc/fstab
[07:32] <mackdieselx27> More info on SSH:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH
[07:32] <Chilaquiles> shaghost: never
[07:33] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: See, this is why we generally don't do it in one step. that command will work perfectly if find returns one file. If it returns 0 files, you'll just get a blank new file. If it returns two or more... it might open them all, or just the first one
[07:33] <sk_> how do I change/undo a ALT+CTRL+F1 prompt that has my terminal prompting Username@KNCluster:~??   How do I get back to the original terminal?!?
[07:34] <robbiethe1st> sk_ ctrl+alt+f7
[07:34] <robbiethe1st> (or f8)
[07:34] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: ok, i have the list of partitions (it, an extension and swap), and it has a warning flag. When I get partition info, it doesn't say what the warning is for, but there's no volume name or last accessed date, aside from that the info looks right
[07:34] <DOokami> robbiethe1st: i understand, and thanks ,, i'm asking in case there was only one file that i can look for xxx.text for example ,, anyhow ,, i tried "find / -name x" and no result ,, what am i typing wrong plz ?
[07:34] <shaghost> !sshfs | Chilaquiles
[07:35] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: No file named 'x' exists on the disk?
[07:35] <stag-reseau7> bjr
[07:35] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: Remember, linux is case-sensitive.
[07:35] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: and when I try to have it check the file system, it comes back with an error that's it's mounted or open exclusively
[07:36] <rww> DOokami: -name x matches files with the name 'x'. For files with names containing 'x', do -name *x*
[07:36] <robbiethe1st> rww, DOokami: use quotes around your -name string if you use a wildcard(*) in it - -name '*x*'
[07:37] <robbiethe1st> Otherwise it doesn't work quite right sometimes
[07:37] <DOokami> rww i want to find a file named called "ctest" .. so i write " find / -name ctest" ?
[07:37] <Koterpillar> robbiethe1st, precisely, when you have something with 'x' in current directory
[07:37] <robbiethe1st> Yes.
[07:37] <DOokami> robbiethe1st: good point
[07:38] <moltendorf> Anyone familiar with setting up wireless access on Ubuntu Server 10.10?
[07:38] <DOokami> robbiethe1st: it shows many many find: bla bla permission denied results ?
[07:38] <noah1989> hi
[07:38] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Try right-click unmount on the drive. what happens?
[07:39] <zcat[1]> trying to set up an ubuntu server with raid. during the install it put grub on both drives but if I try to boot with either drive unplugged it can't boot. Not much point having raid if it simply doubles the chance of the system becoming unbootable rather than reducing the chance...
[07:39] <noah1989> i found that you can use consolechars to set the console (non X) font
[07:39] <sk_> robbiethe1st: cntl+alt+f7 doesn't do anything, but any f1-f6 send me back to the text only
[07:39] <li> hi
[07:39] <zcat[1]> so how can I fix this so that raid works how it's supposed to?
[07:39] <noah1989> is there a way to set a margin so that the console starts 100px from the left?
[07:39] <robbiethe1st> DOokami: That means you're looking in a directory that you don't have permission to access. try with "sudo find ..." or only look in, say, your home directory "/home/*username*/ instead of /"
[07:40] <noah1989> because i have an unusual screen that always swallows some pixels on the left side
[07:40] <robbiethe1st> sk_: Yes, those are 6 virtual terminals. Your X server may have crashed - try logging in, and typing "sudo service gdm restart"
[07:40] <Koterpillar> I want clients connecting via VPN to share the server's internet connection, can anyone recommend a guide?
[07:40] <histo> noah1989: probably in your .bash_profile
[07:40] <Koterpillar> sk_, f8?
[07:41] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: the unmount is grayed. so it's not that it's mounted...which i guess leaves the other option, that it's opened exclusively by something, or marked opened exclusively
[07:41] <DOokami1> rww: what's the syntax to find a file called "ctest" ,, looks like i got something wrong in the syntax ..
[07:41] <noah1989> histo: hm.. that could fix it for the bash prompt. but i want the whole console to be constarained
[07:41] <noah1989> incluiding the login prompt
[07:41] <histo> noah1989: what's the problem?
[07:41] <rww> DOokami1: find /searchpath -name ctest
[07:42] <DOokami1> rww if i want to look the whole disk then ?
[07:42] <noah1989> histo: i want the console to use only the right part of the framebuffer
[07:42] <noah1989> histo: because the left-most 100 px are off screen
[07:42] <zcat[1]> am I visible?
[07:42] <histo> noah1989: why not fix that instead of circumventing the problem?
[07:42] <rww> DOokami1: sudo find / -name ctest
[07:42] <rww> zcat[1]: yes
[07:42] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Hm, I don't know. Try googling?
[07:43] <DOokami1> rww: :D :D :D
[07:43] <histo> noah1989: is this a gui install or just a command line only?
[07:43] <DOokami1> rww: thanks a lot. thanks robbiethe1st too :)
[07:43] <zcat[1]> trying to set up an ubuntu server with raid. during the install it put grub on both drives but if I try to boot with either drive unplugged it can't boot. Not much point having raid if it simply doubles the chance of the system becoming unbootable rather than reducing the chance... any way of making this work how it's supposed to?
[07:43] <moltendorf> zcat[1]: I'm asking questions about the server version, and am getting no response either. :S
[07:43] <noah1989> noah1989: because fixing this would mean optimizing the omap3 display driver kernel code..
[07:43] <noah1989> histo: it#s command line only
[07:43] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: You're using MDADM raid?
[07:44] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: been doing that for hours ;)
[07:44] <noah1989> histo: no X
[07:44] <histo> noah1989: what about appending a vga code to the end of the kernel line?
[07:44] <histo> noah1989: something like vga=771
[07:44] <zcat[1]> robbiethe1st, I guess so.. did the install with a 'fake raid' card originally, decided to just plug both drives into the motherboard. It's whatever the ubuntu server cd calls raid.
[07:44] <noah1989> histo: this is happening on a ARM board, it has a completely different display driver
[07:45] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: unless ubuntu is opening it when it boots, it must be something in the file itself that is showing it to be opened ... because it's like that as soon as i boot
[07:45] <zcat[1]> perhaps I should just try a fresh install, perhaps it'll come right next time
[07:45] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Um... first result for "ubuntu ext4 partition exclusively opened" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1674709
[07:45] <histo> noah1989: so can't you specify a vga code to the frame buffer on boot still?
[07:45] <histo> noah1989: http://pierre.baudu.in/other/grub.vga.modes.html
[07:45] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: it's amazing what word choice can do :D  google's not as smart as they would have ya think
[07:45] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: try typing "cat /proc/mdstat" if it exists, you're using mdadm software raid. If not, it's a fakeraid
[07:45] <jefimenko> zcat[1]: during the install of grub it should have asked you about whether to boot with a degraded disk
[07:46] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: I suppose; I've never had trouble for some reason.
[07:46] <jefimenko> zcat[1]: did you tell it to allow booting with a degraded disk array?
[07:46] <noah1989> histo: no. this is on a beagleboard. it has no vga-compatible graphics
[07:46] <noah1989> histo: it has it's own options but none of the available modes fits my screen
[07:46] <TheYellowGTO> join #moto-atrix
[07:47] <zcat[1]> jefimenko, yeah, due to the stupid highpoint fakeraid card none of that worked, can't recall the error. I think I might just do a fresh install again
[07:47] <histo> noah1989: hrm... let me do some searching then
[07:47] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: then tell me how to google slack and get something meaningful? :D
[07:48] <sk_> robbiethe1st: after the restart from both virtual f1 and f6, (and f7 I suppose), the terminal is still designated as a @kncluster:~$
[07:48] <soda`> omg
[07:48] <noah1989> histo: all i need is a workaround at console driver level
[07:48] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: I figure putting keywords in from left to right, most important first.
[07:48] <histo> noah1989: yeah I hear ya
[07:48] <moltendorf> Anyone know how to set up wireless connectivity on Mac Mini running Ubuntu Server 10.10?
[07:49] <Koterpillar> sk_, byobu grabs lower two lines for itself. Try looking into it?
[07:49] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: ha, yeah...that much i do know. it's the choice of keyword...ok... i tried slack with a couple...i'll try a couple more :)
[07:49] <soda`> backtrack ppl
[07:49] <robbiethe1st> sk_: Login and type "sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less" and read the last few lines
[07:49] <j_ayen_green> ah, got it :)
[07:49] <zcat[1]> btw am I being sensible choosing 10.04.2 rather than 10.10 .. it'll be longer before we have to deal with anything again right?
[07:50] <robbiethe1st> I'd go for 10.10
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> zcat[1]: 10
[07:50] <histo> noah1989: you'd probably find morehelp in #linuxhelp or something similar since yoru problem isn't ubuntu specific
[07:50] <zcat[1]> you think?
[07:50] <robbiethe1st> newer = better support for hardware, newer OS bits.
[07:50] <histo> !natty | zcat[1]
[07:50] <zcat[1]> shorter support life...
[07:51] <zcat[1]> wtf who mentioned 11.anything?
[07:51] <soda`> fuck it   buy a apple dude
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> 10.04 is LTS so will be supported long after 10.10 support stops
[07:51] <soda`> lol
[07:51] <histo> !ohmy | soda`
[07:51] <zcat[1]> ActionParsnip, that's what I'm thinking
[07:51] <soda`> blah blah
[07:51] <histo> zcat[1]: 10.04 is a LTS long term support release. You should check out the release cycle
[07:51] <histo> !release > zcat[1]
[07:51] <zcat[1]> yes I know..
[07:52] <histo> zcat[1]: 8.04 is still supoprted atm
[07:52] <DOokami1> rww, robbiethe1st, okay ,, sudo find / -name ctest works perfectly and shows one file path which is the file i want ,, how do i combine the command 'gedit' in a syntax with "sudo find / -name ctest" to actually open the output of the first command which is the ctest.text file ?
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> zcat[1]: if longer support appeals then go for it :-)
[07:52] <zcat[1]> that's why I chose 10.04.2 .. objective is that this goes in a closet and doesn't come back out for as long as possible
[07:52] <histo> zcat[1]: what is this box going to be for?
[07:52] <robbiethe1st> DOokami1: "gedit `sudo find / -name ctest`"
[07:53] <zcat[1]> firewall, proxy, mail
[07:53] <DOokami1> ' ?
[07:53] <soda`> i  heard  windows 95    in real secure
[07:53] <DOokami1> where's that comma thing
[07:53] <robbiethe1st> No. `
[07:53] <histo> zcat[1]: then i'd go lts. that's what I do on my servers
[07:53] <zcat[1]> cool
[07:53] <robbiethe1st> on the same key as ~
[07:53] <DOokami1> `
[07:53] <DOokami1> gotcha
[07:53] <histo> !troll | soda`
[07:53] <DOokami1> thanks, trying :D
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> DOokami1: add to the command: -exec gedit {} \;
[07:53] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: the slackware site says it's 6 cd's ... is there a minimal version i should be looking for instead (i hope) ?
[07:53] <shaghost> 10.04 is a lts
[07:53] <soda`> i happen to hava  acopy  for you all
[07:53] <soda`> histo?
[07:54]  * zcat[1] suggests $(foo) instead of `foo` -- harder for newbs to get the wrong characters
[07:54] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Uh, I dunno anything about slackware. Debian/ubuntu's all I know
[07:54] <sk_> Koterpillar: "exec screen $SCREEN_TERM $NAME $PROFILE "$@""?
[07:54] <soda`> Backtrack
[07:54] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: ok, thanks for the lead
[07:54] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Ubuntu's the easiest to setup and deal with.
[07:54] <histo> !atroll | soda`
[07:55] <histo> soda`: the factoid is gone from the bot but basically trollish behavior is not accepted here
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> soda`: backtrack is offtopic here
[07:55] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: yeah, but that post you pointed me to said ubuntu livecd was the issue, that slack should be used so it doesn't try to mount the file system  ... ?
[07:55] <soda`> dam
[07:55] <soda`> fine
[07:55] <DOokami1> robbiethe1st: "gedit `sudo find / -name ctest`" worked and the file opened but i got (gedit:3635): IBUS-WARNING **: Connect to unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-BT89AWRUo4,guid=0756063062046b8989485ef70000033d failed: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-BT89AWRUo4: Connection refused.
[07:55] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Oh, um.
[07:55]  * soda` is bored
[07:55] <robbiethe1st> DOokami1: Ignore it?
[07:56] <_jesse_> !backtrack
[07:56] <DOokami1> ActionParsnip:  -exec gedit {} \; where ? ,, as in ,, "-exce gedit find /home -name ctest"
[07:56] <zcat[1]> woot, looks like the raid-with-grub-on-both install is going to work this time. no red screens.
[07:56] <histo> soda`: then join ubuntu-offtopic but if you have a question feel free to ask.
[07:57] <DOokami1> robbiethe1st, well ,, maybe ,, but if there was a better way then why not .. i'm gonna program something after all :)
[07:57]  * soda` yawns
[07:57] <zcat[1]> bloody highpoint cards are more trouble than they're worth ..

[07:57] <joeb_> question .. ubuntu 10.10 dosen't need aptitude ?

[07:57] <ActionParsnip> DOokami1: add it to the end of the command you first posted.

[07:57] <soda`> yeah     chattin  shaghost
[07:58] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Try with ubuntu 10.04 cd perhaps?
[07:58] <shaghost> well... we can chat in offtopic
[07:58] <histo> shaghost: that channel is for general chat
[07:58] <shaghost> we are talking about server stuff
[07:58] <zcat[1]> Ahh crap .. attempt to mount swap in RAID0p5 device # at none failed
[07:58] <zcat[1]> what's that mean?
[07:59] <DOokami1> ActionParsnip: so it'll be "sudo find / -name ctest gedit -exec gedit {} \;" ?
[07:59] <zcat[1]> is there an idiotproof howto for setting up a simple two disk mirror in ubuntu?
[07:59] <soda`> can we talk about anonymous
[07:59] <shaghost> !offtopic | soda`
[07:59] <zcat[1]> cos this is really starting to piss me off
[07:59] <_jesse_> soda`: no
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> DOokami1: remove the first gedit and you will win
[08:00] <soda`> fine
[08:00] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: well, it is a 10.04 iso... but it's 10.04.2 .. that make a difference?
[08:00] <_jesse_> zcat[1]: it's simple at install time, not sure about afterwards
[08:00] <robbiethe1st> j_ayen_green: Shouldn't.
[08:00] <soda`> so you think there all really middle aged  gurus
[08:00] <soda`> hehhe
[08:00] <histo> zcat[1]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[08:00] <zcat[1]> _jesse_, this is a fresh new install.. make raid devides, autopartition nice new empty raid device, FAIL!
[08:01] <histo> !op | soda`
[08:01] <_jesse_> zcat[1]: why fail?
[08:01] <zcat[1]> Ahh crap .. attempt to mount swap in RAID0p5 device # at none failed
[08:01] <shaghost>  soda` we just try to limit the offtopic, as it can get a lot of lines in here when a lot of peopel are heling people out, as it can get going FAST with out even offtopic suff
[08:01] <_jesse_> zcat[1]: don't mirror swap :p
[08:01] <zcat[1]> .. That's all i've done. In the installer. Make a raid out of two disks. Autoparition it. Get that error.
[08:01] <shaghost> or /tmp
[08:01] <soda`> righttt
[08:01] <shaghost>   /tmp should not be mirrord
[08:02] <zcat[1]> OK, so go back and just do / then .. have far more ram than the box needs
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> DOokami1: if multiple files are found, they will open one by one for you to edit. Find-exec commands like that are very powerful
[08:02] <soda`> omg              just say the topic
[08:02] <shaghost> zcat[1]: raid in ubuntu setup, or raid in bios, or hardware raid with a controler card
[08:02] <soda`> wow
[08:02] <soda`> my bad
[08:02] <DOokami1> ActionParsnip: :D @ sudo find / -name ctest -exec gedit {} \;

[08:02] <soda`> outiezz
[08:02] <zcat[1]> where do I put /tmp so that either disk can fail and not cause the boottime fsck to fail?
[08:02] <codemagician> 10.10 xorg goes into 100% CPU on my desktop... any fix for this?
[08:02] <zcat[1]> software raid in ubuntu setup
[08:03] <zcat[1]> already thrown the faikraid card in the bin
[08:03] <shaghost> !raid
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> DOokami1: looks good to me
[08:04] <zcat[1]> simple RAID1 mirroring with two disks. why is it not simple?
[08:04] <sk_> robbiethe1st: it reads (END) [1]+ Stopped
[08:04] <jefimenko> speaking of software raid, i just installed a new system using raid0 and grub keeps dropping my into a busybox, saying "ALERT! /dec/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> Codemagician: what video chip?
[08:04] <jefimenko> that's "/dev/disk..."
[08:04] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, Nvida GT218 [GeForce 210]
[08:04] <DOokami1> ActionParsnip: To find and open a file named x via gedit using only the terminal
[08:04] <DOokami1> sudo find / -name x -exec gedit {} \;
[08:04] <DOokami1> it actually worked perfectly
[08:04] <DOokami1> Question though ,, why the terminal stops somehow ,,?
[08:04] <ethanol> where does ubuntu store links to the applications listed under Applications ?
[08:04] <FloodBot2> DOokami1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:04] <jefimenko> can anyone help?
[08:05] <Williwaller> hi all, the flash plugin of my FF keeps bugging, can someone help?
[08:05] <sk_> robbiethe1st: but still has the @knCluster before the $
[08:05] <robbiethe1st> sk_: did you see any text before? Or just +1 stopped
[08:05] <zcat[1]> going to try following this howto ..
[08:05] <jefimenko> i'm in the busybox shell right now, and i don't see the RAID disk in /dev/disk-by-uuid/
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Codemagician: and what driver please?
[08:05] <sk_> robbiethe1st: no text before
[08:05] <shaghost> Williwaller: flash is buggy in linux, for youtube go to youtube/html5
[08:05] <codemagician> Williwaller, I had same problem and had to remove adobe flash and use open source version in its place
[08:05] <robbiethe1st> sk_ try typing "sudo cat /var/log/X *tab*
[08:05] <jefimenko> i mean, /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[08:05] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, what do I type in command line to discover the drivers?
[08:06] <DOokami1> ActionParsnip: To find and open a file named x via gedit using only the terminal
[08:06] <DOokami1> sudo find / -name x -exec gedit {} \; .... worked perfectly ,, Question though ,, why the terminal kinda stop responding after that ?
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> Shaghost: buggy in what way. Its worked flawlessly here forever
[08:06] <sk_> robbiethe1st: [  1597.380] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[08:06] <sk_> [  1597.380] (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
[08:06] <sk_> [  1597.380] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"
[08:06] <histo> zcat[1]: I belive you are looking for a RAID 1
[08:07] <robbiethe1st> sk_ Ok, now take the above command and add '| less' to the end of it(press the up key to get the prev command)
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> Codemagician: sudo lshw -C display
[08:07] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: well, since the software in question had a newer version on 10.10, i guess it -is- possible since 10.04.2 came out later that it also has a newer version... so I'll download 10.04.1 and try it, and if that fails, look for a minimal slack install :(
[08:07] <zcat[1]> histo, right now I'm looking for a hammer...
[08:07] <Williwaller> shaghost, codemagician, ok thanks, will try that
[08:07] <histo> zcat[1]: that may or may not help matters
[08:07] <zcat[1]> but yes, I know. raid 1 simple mirroring is all I want!!!
[08:08] <codemagician> shaghost, my flash container crashes every single time I bring up youtube
[08:08] <codemagician> shaghost, on both my 10.10 desktop machine and 9.10 netbook
[08:08] <zcat[1]> .. and also that it boots when either disk is unplugged because that is the entire point of having raid at all here...
[08:08] <shaghost> codemagician: sounds like a personal problum, i recoment youtube.com/html5 and chrome
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> DOokami1: gedit has the control. Once you close gedit you will get it back
[08:08] <zcat[1]> so that the box is more reliable, not less
[08:09] <codemagician> shaghost, its never worked correctly ever for me
[08:09] <shaghost> i should go to bed
[08:09] <shaghost> i am getting mean now
[08:09] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0
[08:09] <nishant> is it possible to open Webmails in IE like interface ?
[08:10] <sk_> robbiethe1st: alright! I see text about the X.Org X server 1.9.0;
[08:10] <histo> zcat[1]: yeah . Did you get the link from ubottu
[08:10] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, there doesn't appear to be any numbers with that output to indicate the driver location or version...
[08:10] <nishant> i mean IE opens my mails using the web email client , what is the option i have for this in Linux
[08:10] <histo> codemagician: are you running 32bit or 64bit os?
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Codemagician: ok if you run: nvidia-settings  ,what driver version do you have
[08:10] <robbiethe1st> sk_: You can use up/down to scroll, along with pgup etc.
[08:10] <zcat[1]> histo I can't reallt follow it.. it seems a bit vague around step 6 ..
[08:10] <behel1t> how mature are nvidia drivers?  is 1080p video acceleration supported
[08:11] <robbiethe1st> sk_ go down to the bottom and look for something about x ending/quitting etc
[08:11] <codemagician> histo, 32bit
[08:11] <BaKeR> helo
[08:11] <histo> zcat[1]: if you are using a newer vwersion of the alternate or server install disk you can create the mirror during setup
[08:11] <codemagician> histo, using i7 core processor
[08:11] <zcat[1]> like if I tell it to automatically partition sdb then I won't get an identical layout, it'll make that /home instead
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> nishant: any web browser can use webmail
[08:11] <jefimenko> third-party nvidia drivers suck for me. i get better video performance on the open-source driver
[08:11] <histo> codemagician: hrm.. that's odd I don't experience that problem with flash.
[08:11] <robbiethe1st> behel1t: Through VDPAU, yes. I've done it with a blu-ray rip I made myself, and mplayer
[08:11] <histo> jefimenko: that's impossible
[08:11] <BaKeR> hello can any one help me
[08:11] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, 260.19.06
[08:12] <jefimenko> histo: somehow it is possible for me
[08:12] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, Server Version Number 11.0
[08:12] <nishant> ActionParsnip, I can open webmail but it does give some advanced option like IE does . I suppose thats because the exchange server used is MS by my company
[08:12] <BaKeR> with ubuntu 10.10 boot screen?
[08:12] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, Server Vendor Version 1.9.0 (10900000)
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> behel1t: yes. Nvidia have been supporting Linux for ages
[08:12] <Sleepwalker> nishant: firefox, opera, chrome, chormium or any other browser should do the job
[08:12] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, NV-CONTROL Version 1.24
[08:12] <jefimenko> histo: i can fullscreen a youtube video and it's so choppy (2 fps) on the nvidia driver. with the opensource driver it's smooth
[08:12] <shaghost> I hace AD and excnage by m$$
[08:12] <BaKeR> boot screen is stuck in 8 bit or somthing
[08:12] <nishant> Sleepwalker it all does the job of opening webmail but it doesnt look or have the features of IE based webmail client
[08:13] <zcat[1]> I have reinstalled this box six times now. This is attempt #7
[08:13] <nishant> I suppose its because the Exchange server is MS
[08:13] <zcat[1]> so I am starting to get very frustrated
[08:13] <shaghost> nishant: recomend a linux slution for them
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> nishant: if its in some way optomized for IE then you are out of luck.
[08:13] <Sleepwalker> you can use IE with wine
[08:13] <BaKeR> Anyone fix the ishue with the ugly boot screen on ubuntu 10.10
[08:13] <shaghost> winetricks ie8
[08:13] <BaKeR> 64bit amd
[08:13] <shaghost> or something like that
[08:14] <oliver_> BaKeR, is that what you are looking for ? http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml
[08:14] <shaghost> BaKeR: boot screen or login screen?
[08:14] <nishant> what is the name of the Web Client in IE ? does it have some special name >
[08:14] <zcat[1]> OK there's already a software raid device from my last attempt and it won't let me delete it because it's already in use. what now?
[08:14] <BaKeR> i tried about ever tut none work
[08:14] <BaKeR> i tried that tut
[08:14] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, how are those values... am I using good drivers?
[08:15] <sk_> robbiethe1st: Not seeing anything about x ending/quitting; the bulk of text is describing my output devices like monitors, keyboards, mice
[08:15] <zcat[1]> cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda briefly, then again /dev/sdb .. now try and find your raid!!!
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Codemagician: there is a ppa with 270. I'd find guides for the proprietory driver maki
[08:15] <zcat[1]> hopefully the installer won't be confused by previous fails this time
[08:15] <zcat[1]> so this is attempt number 8 I guess
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Making xorg each your cpu
[08:15] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, what is ppa please? and maki?
[08:16] <oliver_> BaKeR , i'll test it later will respond then. Hopefully anyone here can help you :D For the next time just ask your question don't ask if anyone can help you :D
[08:16] <robbiethe1st> sk_ Huh. and ctrl+alt+f7/f8 won't bring you back to your X window?
[08:16] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, aha making xorg each your cpu...
[08:16] <BaKeR> ;) thanks
[08:16] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, so there is a better way to configure xorg with my particular card?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Codemagician: maki was a typo. GT540 phone + regular thu
[08:17] <sk_> robbiethe1st: ctrl+alt+f7 doesn't change anything on the screen; /f8 sends me to a blinking underscore (_);
[08:17] <BaKeR> (uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap) this line is the only line that does anything
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Thumbs = typos
[08:17] <BaKeR> it fixes the shut off splash but messes up the startup
[08:17] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, how do I go about switching the drivers?
[08:18] <robbiethe1st> sk_: I don't know, sorry. It looks like X isn't working - What drivers were you using, BTW? Nvidia? ati? intel?
[08:18] <ethanol> where does ubuntu store links to the applications listed under Applications ?
[08:18] <sk_> robbiethe1st: nvidia for the monitors
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Codemagician: yes, you just need to find it. My web access is dog slow so i'm not going to be much direct help
[08:19] <BaKeR> oliver how are you going to test it
[08:19] <robbiethe1st> sk_: manual install?
[08:19] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, so I google for nVideo GeForce 210 drivers for my particular 10.10 ubuntu?
[08:20] <robbiethe1st> codemagician: Nvidia has a single blob driver for all recent cards.
[08:20] <robbiethe1st> codemagician: You want to download the 260/270.xx unix drivers
[08:20] <sk_> robbiethe1st: could I somehow quit in each of the virtual; basic install with additional driver support from administration>additional drivers
[08:20] <zcat[1]> OK, at the end of step six I did 'write changes to disk' and now it's going ahead and doing the install on /dev/sdb only.. didn't give me the option of setting up raid. what did I miss?
[08:20] <zcat[1]> so now this will be install #9
[08:20] <codemagician> robbiethe1st, where do I get them from... directly from nVidea?
[08:20] <robbiethe1st> sk_: I don't know. You may want to just download the package streight from Nvidia, install it.
[08:21] <zcat[1]> and I have been trying to sort out this server for 6 hours now
[08:21] <BaKeR> does anyone here have amd 64 x2
[08:21] <robbiethe1st> http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
[08:21] <zcat[1]> no, seven hours
[08:21] <robbiethe1st> Select your card, etc and unix 32/64 depending, and download it
[08:22] <robbiethe1st> Then, you are going to have to: 1. kill xorg if it's running(switch to VT#1, ctrl+alt+f1), 2. login, 3. "sudo chmod +x *downloaded file*
[08:22] <codemagician> robbiethe1st, i have 32-bit ubuntu installed. does the 32 or 64 refer to this, or to the memory interface on the nvidia card?
[08:22] <robbiethe1st> codemagician: 32 then
[08:23] <zcat[1]> so if I don't raid swap and one drive fails, will the system still boot or will it crash and complain that a swap device in /etc/fstab is missing?
[08:23] <sk_> robbiethe1st: alright! i'm going to reinstall ubuntu. and then go for the drivers again. thanks anyways! I just wonder if by pressing alt+ctrl+f1/f2/../ will cause this @kncluster, or if when I shut down the computer during the text-only terminal causes a change in the files
[08:24] <robbiethe1st> sk_ Uh... niether. More than likely, your nvidia drivers don't like the current kernel/haven't been installed properly
[08:24] <codemagician> robbiethe1st, the down offered is 256.53 and yet my current version is 260.19.06  ?
[08:24] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: found riplinux... minimal distro with gparted. going to try that :-s
[08:24] <Archaeopteryxx> oh shiiet i messed something up now
[08:24] <zcat[1]> anyone?
[08:25] <robbiethe1st> codemagician: I dunno. You can get -anything- here: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/
[08:25] <Archaeopteryxx> i set like 36 workspaces across 16 rows
[08:25] <robbiethe1st> Up to 270.30 beta drivers
[08:25] <Archaeopteryxx> and all the windows are f'ed up :(
[08:25] <BaKeR> gues im going to have to reinstall ubuntu but try 32 bit
[08:25] <BaKeR> can fix the damn ugly boot screen
[08:25] <codemagician> robbiethe1st, generally do you think the later the version the better?
[08:26] <Weazel[Work]> here is a weird-ass problem,  everytime i open new window either a menu window or an actual window of some app, the focus stays with the previous window i was at
[08:26] <Weazel[Work]> drives me nutz
[08:26] <robbiethe1st> codemagician: Yes, generally
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> robbiethe1st: the xorg edgers/updates ppa has it too. Much easier
[08:26] <robbiethe1st> BaKeR: Why not just remove "quiet splash" from the boot-line and have a nice text-boot?
[08:26] <shaghost> Weazel[Work]: use multiple desktops
[08:26] <Weazel[Work]> shaghost: i am using 4
[08:26] <shaghost> ctl-alt-left
[08:26] <codemagician> ActionParsnip, the nvidia webiste offered me a lower version number when I selected my graphics card from the list?
[08:26] <shaghost> Weazel[Work]: dont overlap windows =P
[08:27] <BaKeR> nice text boot?
[08:27] <robbiethe1st> ActionParsnip: I've almost never had the "additional drivers" installer work right. Probably cause I'm using Kubuntu. But it often crashes or just plain doesn't install right
[08:27] <Archaeopteryxx> how do I reset all the workspaces or something? all my windows are completely screwed up
[08:27] <Weazel[Work]> shaghost: where do i unset the overlap windows ?
[08:27] <BaKeR> @robbie
[08:27] <shaghost> Weazel[Work]: truthfully if you find a real slution to the problum i would love to know
[08:27] <robbiethe1st> BaKeR: Reboot, at the grub menu "edit" the command line and remove "quiet splash", then ctrl+x to boot
[08:27] <robbiethe1st> And watch
[08:27] <Weazel[Work]> didn't used to have it before, i think one of the updates gave me this annoying issue
[08:28] <BaKeR> im not much of a fan of text during boot
[08:28] <shaghost> Weazel[Work]: then it may be a diffent one then mine, as mine only happens with popup type things in chrome
[08:28] <Weazel[Work]> for me is with everything
[08:28] <robbiethe1st> Suit yourself, I suppose. I'd prefer to know why things aren't working, myself.
[08:28] <BaKeR> i have burg installed over grub
[08:28] <zcat[1]> AAAAAAAAAGHHHH so now I've configured sda1 and sdb1 as raid. What next? I can't put / anywhere because the partitions are raid.  It'll show all the boot/debug info.
[08:30] <zcat[1]> it's NOT fake raid.  Robbie
[08:31] <zcat[1]> and when I booth the installercd I see it loading mdamd packages off the internet every time so I think I have those packages?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Archaeopteryxx: i
[08:31] <zcat[1]> also the howto doesn't say anything about loading mdadm either
[08:32] <jamiewan> Archaeopteryxx, right click on the switcher and make 4 colums and 1 row
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Archaeopteryxx: in ccsm -> general in the desktop size you should be able to edit there
[08:32] <BaKeR> Robbie my problems is When booting up it shows ubuntu splash screen but in low bit
[08:32] <Archaeopteryxx> it doesn't work if :\
[08:32] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: Dunno about any howto, I'm telling you how -I- did it. 1. install mdadm. 2. using the command-line, create my raid volumes. 3. install, and set /dev/mdN as your instlall drives
[08:32] <BaKeR> and when i shut down it show texts
[08:32] <Archaeopteryxx> the workspace preferences window keeps flashing and doesn't change the number of workspaces
[08:32] <robbiethe1st> BaKeR: when it shuts down it'll always show text, I think.
[08:33] <almalkirs> hi, I am new to linux and I am wodering where can I find the key commands to use in the terminal
[08:33] <BaKeR> not when i edit ( uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap)
[08:33] <zcat[1]> funny thing is I set up software raid back on 6.06 with no howto, and it worked. Ubuntu is going backwards.
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> !manual | almalkirs
[08:33] <robbiethe1st> almalkirs: http://fosswire.com/post/2008/04/ubuntu-cheat-sheet/
[08:33] <BaKeR> the code works for the shut off text
[08:33] <BaKeR> but messes up the start splash
[08:34] <BaKeR> dosnt make any sense
[08:34] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: Yea, I dunno. I had to do some stuff to make mine work right, but I'm happy with my raid-1 boot and raid-5 data drive
[08:34] <robbiethe1st> 170mb/sec off the raid-5 sequential read!
[08:35] <zcat[1]> ok so open a terminal and apt-get install mdadm ... 'apt-get: not found'
[08:35] <zcat[1]> now what?
[08:35] <almalkirs> thanks.
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Baker: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[08:35] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: "sudo apt-get install mdadm"
[08:36] <zcat[1]> it's a root terminal.. alt-F2 from the textmode server installer
[08:36] <BaKeR> thanks ill take a look
[08:36] <zcat[1]> but just to humour you "/bin/sh: sudo: not found"
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Baker: that's using grub2
[08:37] <zcat[1]> mdadm is there though
[08:37] <joeb_> im trying to install stuff from the ubuntu gui can i select individual packages >
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> joeb_: absolutely
[08:38] <zcat[1]> Ohhh, /dev/md0 already active cannot assemble it.
[08:38] <Weazel[Work]> shaghost found the solution
[08:38] <zcat[1]> the installer of fail can't see it though
[08:38] <joeb_> ActionParsnip- i tried alt / and ctrl but nothing
[08:39] <Weazel[Work]> thought i was going crazy with this annoying problem
[08:39] <zcat[1]> this is utterly and completely hopeless
[08:39] <joeb_> anyone else ?
[08:40] <BaKeR> i tried everythin in that step exept the resolution witch i dont think i have
[08:40] <BaKeR> Actionparsnip
[08:40] <visual1ce> when i type users in cli i have 2 users logged in both with my username
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> joeb_: just click each one and mark it for install then click apply. If you choose more they will be i
[08:40] <visual1ce> who -a shows one is 'old'
[08:40] <BaKeR> doesnt work
[08:40] <philip_> hey i try to nstall ubuntu 10.04 from live cd on my pc but after i click on install my dektop is free?
[08:40] <zcat[1]> so anyone can tell me how to do this in simple step by step instructions that work for ubuntu server 10.04.2 lts 64 bit
[08:41] <philip_> how can i know if he install or not?
[08:41] <BaKeR> im on 64
[08:41] <BaKeR> bit
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Installed when the previous job finishes
[08:41] <BaKeR> what steps you looking for
[08:42] <zcat[1]> install a firewall/mail server on a simple raid1 mirroring of two disks so that the system will still boot if either drive fails.
[08:42] <zcat[1]> is that so much to ask?!!!
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Baker: the hwinfo command will tell you the available resolutions
[08:42] <BaKeR> lol
[08:42] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: Oh, server installer. I was just using the normal desktop liveCD, and doing it from there
[08:42] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: Sorry, I haven't used the server installer, no clue how that'd work
[08:42] <BaKeR> Actionparnsnip- i did that
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Baker: the arch is moot
[08:43] <zcat[1]> starting to think I should just install debian instead
[08:43] <BaKeR> the arch is moot?
[08:43] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: Debian's a great server OS
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Baker: then you have the resolution
[08:43] <BaKeR> not 1366x768
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Baker: in plai
[08:44] <BaKeR> im really newbie to ubuntu
[08:44] <BaKeR> just installed yesterday
[08:44] <zcat[1]> I thought ubuntu would be easier. seems I was wrong
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Baker: in plan terms, the fact you are using 64bit is of zero co
[08:45] <MasterZiPad> Hello ubuntu people!
[08:45] <BaKeR> zcat ubuntu is very simple what you are trying to do is hard thats a fact
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Consequence to the situation
[08:45] <konevtsov> Hi !
[08:45] <BaKeR> zero o?
[08:45] <zcat[1]> why is a simple software raid1 mirror hard?!!! it was easy five years ago...
[08:46] <visual1ce> if its too hard use windows
[08:46] <BaKeR> lol five years ago
[08:46] <visual1ce> nobody's stopping you
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> Baker: typo
[08:46] <MasterZiPad> I setup a raid 5 array on Ubuntu...
[08:46] <zcat[1]> really helpful advice here
[08:46] <visual1ce> awww
[08:46] <MasterZiPad> then ubuntu died and I lost my data :(
[08:46] <konevtsov> Русские есть?
[08:46] <zcat[1]> MasterZiPad, so help me?!!
[08:46] <BaKeR> thanks for the typo moderator. i  needed that :)
[08:47] <visual1ce> zcat why don't you take a chill pill and type in some info
[08:47] <MasterZiPad> It died... and then I switched to Mac... I doubt you want my help :D
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> Baker: you asked
[08:47] <zcat[1]> this shouldn't be hard. It didn't used to be hard. WHY is it so hard?!!!
[08:47] <BaKeR> yeah whats zero co?
[08:47] <visual1ce> whinger
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> MasterZiPad: lost your data? Was there
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> No backup
[08:48] <zcat[1]> visual1ce, two identical 250g SATA disks, sda and sdb .. nothing on them. ubuntu server install CD 10.04.2 LTS .. how do I do it.
[08:48] <MasterZiPad> I was stupid and I trusted my software raid5 so I did not have any backups... :(
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> Baker: that's the typo
[08:48] <MasterZiPad> I have sense learned my lesson
[08:48] <zcat[1]> simple step by step instructions please?
[08:48] <MasterZ> Open web browser
[08:49] <MasterZ> In the URL bar
[08:49] <MasterZ> type in "Google.com"
[08:49] <MasterZ> ....
[08:49] <FloodBot2> MasterZ: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:49] <BaKeR> lol i figured that
[08:49] <MasterZ> :P
[08:49] <BaKeR> actionparnsnip
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> MasterZ: the hardest way. Backup is crucial these days.
[08:49] <zcat[1]> MasterZ, I already got pointed to a howto. I followed it step by step as closely as I could. It didn't work.  Not I have partitions called /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 that ae type raid autodetect. Where do I put my root?!!!
[08:51] <zcat[1]> after following that howto I don't have any kind of MD device ...
[08:51] <BaKeR> so what you are telling me actionparnsip
[08:51] <joeb_> ActionParsnip- i can't check each and install and apply .. im on ubuntu 10.10 i have to click on 1 and then install it
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> Obvious as i continued the typing on the next line. Just as i have on this li
[08:51] <BaKeR> it doesnt matter what res?
[08:51] <zcat[1]> all I have are two partitons I can't do anything with
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> Line to make an example
[08:52] <visual1ce> actionparsnip do you get paid to help ppl in here?
[08:52] <zcat[1]> has anyone here set up raid from a server isntall disk? Other than me back on 6.06 where it was easy and I just figured it out myself...
[08:52] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: You
[08:53] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: You'll have to -somehow- create a mdadm raid-device on top of those two partitions
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> Baker: you said you were using 64bit but in your situation it means nothing
[08:53] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: try 'man mdadm' for instructions
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> visual1ce: only if I do it at work ;-)
[08:54] <zcat[1]> yes mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 -- it says md0 already esists and is in use, but it doesn't show up in the partition thingy and if I try mke2fs -j /dev/md0 it says it has zero size
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> zcat[1]: only in hard raid with a beefy controller card
[08:54] <ikonia> zcat[1]: sudo fdisk /dev/md0
[08:55] <zcat[1]> ikonia, this is from a root terminal and also if I type sudu it saus sudo doesn't exist
[08:55] <zcat[1]> fuck you are all useless
[08:56] <BaKeR> Actionparnsnip- the link you gave me shows everything i have already done but one miner detail is in every tut thats the same show the same res. But in  the link/tut it shows a res i dont have
[08:56] <robbiethe1st> zcat[1]: Try mdadm --create -n 2 -l 1 /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 or something like that
[08:57] <BaKeR> will 32 bit ubuntu fix the problem
[08:57] <BaKeR> i cant stand the ugly low bit splash screen with the nasty code when shuting down
[08:57]  * lemonhall My internet goes down after sleep, but win7 goes well, Is that problem with my Ubuntu ACPI?
[08:57] <BaKeR> anoying as hell
[08:58] <jfcaron> I have a weird problem.  My sound works fine when I am using my netbook at home with no peripherals.  When I bring my netbook to work and attach an external monitor, keyboard and mouse, the sound doesn't work anymore.  I don't know if it's the peripherals behaving weird, but I have no idea how to debug this.  Any ideas?
[08:58] <leading> Hello
[08:58] <visual1ce> hi
[08:58]  * lemonhall My internet goes down after sleep, but win7 goes well, Is that problem with my Ubuntu ACPI? by the way, the router's LTD light shut down
[08:59] <robbiethe1st> lemonhall: Possibly. Sounds like the network card's getting shut down
[08:59] <visual1ce> well thx for providing so much help :)
[08:59] <lemonhall> robbiethe1st: yes, I have to restart the computer to TURE UP my internet connetion....
[09:00] <BaKeR> So any other solution to my problem?
[09:00] <lemonhall> robbiethe1st: It's a very anoying problem...cause I can't sleep my computer
[09:00] <adammw111> Hi, does anyone know how to troubleshoot a "vfs not syncing unable mount root fs" kernel panic on boot?
[09:01] <robbiethe1st> lemonhall: I don't know, sorry. But I'd try looking in the syslog around the time of when you put it to sleep/wakeup and see if there's any errors
[09:01] <robbiethe1st> adammw111: Google that string
[09:01] <progre55> hi guys. Is it possible to see a package version using apt w/o installing it?
[09:01] <lemonhall> robbiethe1st: thanks...use dmesg?
[09:01] <BaKeR>  Mode 0x0300: 640x400 (+640), 8 bits
[09:01] <BaKeR>   Mode 0x0301: 640x480 (+640), 8 bits

[09:01] <BaKeR>   Mode 0x030e: 320x200 (+640), 16 bits
[09:01] <visual1ce> so i type in who -a and there's two users logged in to my system - both with my username but one is 'old' how do i kill it?
[09:01] <adammw111> robbiethe1st, update-initramfs?
[09:02] <robbiethe1st> lemonhall: Sure, or "sudo cat /var/log/syslog | less"
[09:02] <lemonhall> robbiethe1st: thx..
[09:02] <robbiethe1st> adammw111: I don't know. sure. wouldn't hurt
[09:03] <bonjoyee> progre55: sudo apt-cache show <name>
[09:03] <progre55> bonjoyee: thanks
[09:03] <Sonne> bonjoyee, you don't need sudo for that
[09:04] <BaKeR> thanks for the heads up lol
[09:04] <blackshirt> bonjoyee: yeah, you don't need sudo
[09:04] <j_ayen_green> robbiethe1st: shaghost  I've got a working file system!!  Thank you both for your help. In the end, riplinux was small, booted to cli, and did got me the file system back
[09:04] <txb> what the difference between cat /var/log/syslog and less /var/log/syslog ?
[09:04] <bonjoyee> Sonne: blackshirt: noted:)
[09:05] <txb> what the difference between cat /var/log/syslog | less and less /var/log/syslog ?
[09:05] <Sonne> txb, you invoke only one command in the latter case
[09:05] <Sonne> practically, no difference
[09:06] <BaKeR> So Action you dont have any other tut?
[09:08] <jfcaron> txb: Look up "unnecessary use of cat".
[09:08] <Metaxa123> If I wanted to learn Linux commands and oveerall more knowledge about the operating system, where should a novice start learning?
[09:08] <BaKeR> i think i have gurb 1.98
[09:09] <Sonne> Metaxa123, i suggest you look up the "alien bash tutorial", worked quite good for me :)
[09:09] <BaKeR> Metaxa google comands
[09:09] <BaKeR> play around with like  Find comand
[09:11] <ramzy> Hi all!! need help with alien!!!
[09:11] <BaKeR> robbie can you help me out
[09:11] <ramzy> Hi all!! need help with alien!!!
[09:11] <robbiethe1st> ?
[09:11] <ramzy> Hi all!! need help with alien!!! Plz Plz Plz!!
[09:11] <BaKeR> I Need help fixing the splash screen
[09:11] <txb> one usefull use of cat would be: watch -d -n 1 'cat /proc/drbd' ;-)
[09:11] <dr_Willis> ramzy giving more details would be more productive.
[09:12] <BaKeR> it shows ubuntu but very low resolution
[09:12] <robbiethe1st> BaKeR: Um, why bother?
[09:13] <dr_Willis> baker Plymouth has issues with the bionary nvidia and ati drivers in some cases. theres numerous 'plymouth fixs' one can try
[09:13] <dr_Willis> baker personally i just disable plymouth.
[09:13] <MagicJ> somehow now when I open a .mp3 movie player believes that it needs to decde it with text/html for which it does not have a driver.  Other file types work.  What do I need to do to re-associate this with the correct decoder
[09:13] <moltendorf> still can't get wlan0 to work in ubuntu server 10.10, tried everything I found within Google, but still no luck.
[09:13] <BaKeR> ive booting off and on like 20 times in last few hours trying  tuts
[09:13] <ramzy> i'm tryin to convert a rpm package & i have errors: can i copy the log to the chatroom? :p
[09:13] <BaKeR> most are repeats
[09:13] <moltendorf> Spent the last 9 hours working on this same project.
[09:14] <moltendorf> Any help?
[09:14] <dr_Willis> baker	  a whole lot of work for useless eyecandy that ypoiu could just disable.
[09:14] <BaKeR> disable plymouth?
i'm tryin to convert a rpm package & i have errors: can i copy the log to the chatroom? :p
[09:14] <dr_Willis> ramzy i never use alien.. never needed to.
[09:14] <BaKeR> will it show just black screen and not text
[09:14] <txb> you may use the private chat romm of dr_willis
[09:15] <BaKeR> if i disable plymouth
ok thx dr_willis!! in fact i need to install "compat-db-4.1.25-6.i386.rpm"
[09:15] <dr_Willis> baker you can comment out the "quiet splash" in the grub configs and it should just show a normal text messages  boot sequence.
[09:16] <BaKeR> ok nevermind
[09:16] <robbiethe1st> heh
[09:16] <BaKeR> thanks though
[09:16] <PEM> ooh the chan exists :)
[09:16] <ramzy> need to install "compat-db-4.1.25-6.i386.rpm", Help plz ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(
[09:16] <BaKeR> lol you won robbie
[09:16] <dr_Willis> !alien
[09:16] <robbiethe1st> It's just one of those things that - imho - isn't exactly needed or useful.
[09:16] <PEM> i was wondering about something... i downloaded the latest desktop ubuntu cd, burnt it, then booted from cd to make an install
[09:16] <BaKeR> very much agree
[09:17] <PEM> but the install will not work past the install menu
[09:17] <BaKeR> cant complain. lovin ubuntu better than mac
[09:17] <PEM> i get the "loading" screen for hours, and if i esc, i see shitloads of errors
[09:18] <moltendorf> Anyone?
[09:18] <hrna> PEM, i got stuff like that once
[09:18] <BaKeR> PEM did  you remove the disc after rebooting
[09:18] <dr_Willis> pem you did check the md5 of the iso file?
[09:18] <robbiethe1st> PEM: boot into the OS, "try" or whatever it's called
[09:18] <hrna> PEM, but it was because of the broken memory
[09:18] <PEM> i tried almost every menu :P
[09:18] <PEM> from try to install
[09:18] <PEM> the install failed
[09:18] <PEM> i believe it is because my primary disk is a ssd
[09:19] <PEM> because after trying to install it on an onld machine, it worked
[09:19] <bonjoyee> PEM: did you try the F6 options?
[09:19] <PEM> F6 ?
[09:19] <dr_Willis> SSD shouldent matter,
[09:19] <bonjoyee> PEM: yes..there are some advanced options...on the first menu screen
[09:19] <PEM> i tried the memory, disk checks, the try ubuntu without installing, and install ubuntu
[09:19] <moltendorf> So I guess nobody here has any experience with Ubuntu Server 10.10 and wireless?
[09:19] <PEM> bonjoyee well i thought just hitting install would somehow work :P
[09:20] <PEM> i'll have a check at the advanced options...
[09:20] <dr_Willis> moltendof would totally depend on the wireless chipset.
[09:20] <moltendorf> It's Broadcom b43 series.
[09:20] <dr_Willis> theres a lot of varoity in broadcom b43's
[09:20] <PEM> bonjoyee i'll check that before giving up on the install ^^
[09:20] <BaKeR> PEM what exactly is your problem?
[09:21] <dr_Willis> some use the sta driver. some use the older B43 drivers.
[09:21] <moltendorf> I'll see if I can pull a model number from within Mac OS X.
[09:21] <PEM> well just that hitting install does not work :)
[09:21] <BaKeR> ok got cha
[09:21] <PEM> and errors are going way too fast to read them
[09:21] <moltendorf> http://support.apple.com/kb/sp505 that's mine.
[09:21] <BaKeR> PEM you need to set ext4 journals
[09:21] <BaKeR> something like that
[09:22] <BaKeR> seletct / that means root
[09:22] <PEM> BaKeR from the advanced options ?
[09:22] <bonjoyee> BaKeR: thats not true.. PEM is just loading the live cd for the first time..
[09:22] <moltendorf> But last time I checked, all it gave me was Broadcom B43xx Wireless Adapter.
[09:22] <BaKeR> not shure  highlight the hard drive you want to install
[09:22] <BaKeR> click change
[09:22] <BaKeR> i think
[09:22] <PEM> bonjoyee exactly
[09:23] <BaKeR> you should see the options
[09:23] <PEM> cannot even reach the hdd selection menu :P
[09:23] <bonjoyee> PEM: a livecd should have nothing to do with your hdd or the file systems or the hdd partitions...
[09:24] <BaKeR> so when you put in the disc and boot is just shows code?
[09:24] <PEM> baker, i get the first menu where you can try / install / check disk / memory etc
[09:24] <PEM> if i hit install,i get a loading screen, with the little squares
[09:24] <PEM> for hours...
[09:25] <moltendorf> Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x90); Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[09:25] <robbiethe1st> PEM hit try
[09:25] <PEM> if i press esc, i see the console throwing shitloads of errors at my face :P
[09:25] <BaKeR> mmm i would reburn or what not
[09:25] <PEM> "try" does not work either
[09:25] <robbiethe1st> And yes, try re-burning
[09:25] <BaKeR> what ubuntu are you using
[09:25] <dr_Willis> and the errors are what pem?
[09:25] <PEM> and i could install ubuntu on another machine with the same cd
[09:25] <BaKeR> server,desktop,netbook
[09:26] <PEM> dr_Willis cannot read them, it's going too fast
[09:26] <robbiethe1st> PEM: Perhaps the CD drive's going? Try swapping cd drives
[09:26] <moltendorf> Is that of any use? Google isn't spitting out anything helpful for me.
[09:26] <bonjoyee> PEM: first make sure you have the correct cd architecture 32bit or 64bit....else you could also try the alternate install cd...
[09:26] <robbiethe1st> I ran into that before
[09:26] <PEM> BaKeR desktop version, and server version does the same
[09:26] <PEM> i tried both 32 and 64
[09:26] <dr_Willis> pem	 so they are repeating? ctrl-s/ctrl-q or the pause key may pause them
[09:26] <PEM> dr_Willis tried, but does not work
[09:26] <van7hu> hi all,my game complains that the GPU is bad,could I change this to help me?
[09:26] <BaKeR> PEM robbie is corected about disc drive
[09:26] <PEM> dr_Willis only thing working is rebooting ^^
[09:27] <robbiethe1st> Yea, yank that drive and put in a known-good CD drive
[09:27] <PEM> robbiethe1st i tried that too :)
[09:27] <BaKeR> it doesnt read in my hp dvd writer/cd-writher combo but works in my dvd-rom drive
[09:27] <robbiethe1st> What's the specs of this PC?
[09:27] <dr_Willis> pem i would make a bootalbe flash drive and use that instead of the cd
[09:28] <bonjoyee> PEM: ok...then try some advanced options in F6..
[09:28] <robbiethe1st> van7hu: what's the error exactly, and also what card do you have/drivers?
[09:28] <BaKeR> dr wiillis i tried that but doesnt do nothing on boot up?
[09:28] <PEM> code2duo E8600, 3Go DDR3 OCZ, Asus Striker 2 extreme, ssd ocz vertex 2, nvidia gtx 280
[09:28] <BaKeR> flashdrive
[09:29] <Gateway`> !paste
[09:29] <robbiethe1st> PEM: is this machine new? do you know the memory's good?
[09:29] <PEM> that machine is 3 years old, but i ran memory tests sevral times
[09:29] <PEM> the mem is fine
[09:29] <robbiethe1st> k
[09:29] <PEM> so is the ssd :)
[09:30] <robbiethe1st> Try checking the md5 hash of your cd, just in case
[09:30] <BaKeR> i think im using ssd
[09:30] <PEM> i have a windows running on the machine already
[09:30] <viktor133> has anybody else had problems with streaming from youtube lately?
[09:30] <PEM> robbiethe1st downloaded from the official website though :p
[09:30] <van7hu> robbieth1st: no errors,I installed Pes2011 in ubuntu with wine(it works fine under windows),but in ubuntu,there's complains that "Mobile Intel(R) GM45 Express Chipset Family (PS3.0/VS3.0)" is bad,it causes game run slowly(enough to not want to play :)),could I change this thing?
[09:30] <robbiethe1st> PEM, so? It could still have gotten corrupt in download
[09:31] <PEM> robbiethe1st true... but it installed correctly on another machine
[09:31] <robbiethe1st> van7hu: If it's a desktop, yes. You'll have to -add- a card, that's an integrated one and yes, very low end
[09:31] <robbiethe1st> PEM, so? trry it anyway. Just in case
[09:31] <PEM> hardware regarding, the windows is running as expected,and tests tends to show that they are without any problems
[09:31] <PEM> robbiethe1st ok ;)
[09:32] <van7hu> robbieth1st: -add- a card ?
[09:32] <van7hu> video card?
[09:32] <lightpriest_> is there a way to read SMART data from a USB connected disk?
[09:33] <robbiethe1st> van7hu: Yes
[09:33] <van7hu> robbieth1st: that's what you mean?
[09:33] <PEM> thanks for the tips guys, i'll try that tonight ;)
[09:33] <robbiethe1st> van7hu: The one you have now is built into the motherboard. you -aren't- removing it. ;)
[09:33] <van7hu> robbieth1st: how could I do that?
[09:33] <robbiethe1st> van7hu: Buy one, plug it in?
[09:33] <bonjoyee> lightpriest_: sys>pref>disk utility?
[09:33] <robbiethe1st> van7hu: Provided it's a desktop
[09:33] <van7hu> robbieth1st: hell
[09:34] <van7hu> robbieth1st: I think it could work well under windows
[09:34] <robbiethe1st> I doubt it; Intel
[09:34] <bonjoyee> lightpriest_: sorry....thats sys>admin>disk utility
[09:34] <van7hu> if so,I think I could get it work under ubuntu
[09:34] <van7hu> :)
[09:34] <van7hu> robbieth1st: :)
[09:34] <robbiethe1st> Intel's got good drivers for Linux. Not quite as good as Windows, but pretty good. That card, on the other hand... Isn't.
[09:35] <robbiethe1st> Try running "glxinfo", then look at the top - make sure "direct rendering: yes" is shown
[09:35] <BaKeR> so robbie when you power off you get text
[09:35] <BaKeR> ?
[09:36] <lightpriest_> bonjoyee: hmm, i'm using this BlacX docking station to connect the disk drive, perhaps its controller is not passing the SMART data?
[09:36] <robbiethe1st> BaKeR: Yes, after X turns off, I see text for about 10 seconds or less
[09:36] <robbiethe1st> Then it powers off,
[09:37] <van7hu> robbieth1st: "yes" for direct rendering
[09:37] <van7hu> not sure you spoke to me
[09:37] <van7hu> :)
[09:37] <van7hu> df
[09:38] <BaKeR> mmm its funny that the code uvesafb mode_option=1366x768-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap
[09:38] <BaKeR> fixes it
[09:38] <robbiethe1st> van7hu: Then you're using the drivers and getting good performance. That's about as good as you can do
[09:38] <BaKeR> but messes up the size of the splash screen
[09:39] <robbiethe1st> van7hu: You can always run glxgears to test the drivers
[09:39] <nikolavp> can someone help me with this
[09:39] <nikolavp> which is finding a script in my path
[09:39] <nikolavp> but when i want to start it, it tells me that i have to install another program :O
[09:39] <nikolavp> http://paste.ubuntu.com/576889/
[09:39] <robbiethe1st> niko: So, go install it?
[09:39] <nikolavp> well i have it in my path
[09:40] <nikolavp> look at the paste
[09:40] <nikolavp> it's in /home/nikolavp/bin/ack
[09:40] <robbiethe1st> have you rebooted since?
[09:40] <BaKeR> robbie when will 11 be out?
[09:40] <nikolavp> no but LOL
[09:40] <van7hu> robbieth1st: ok.I'll have to look at dual-boot
[09:40] <nikolavp> i reopened another bash session
[09:40] <nikolavp> and it can see it
[09:40] <robbiethe1st> I find that path changes like a reboot. Probably something that can be done without it, but it's easier
[09:41] <nikolavp> reboot is not appropriate this is a server machine -.-
[09:41] <robbiethe1st> BaKeR: How should I know? It's "out" already... But in nightly/alpha form
[09:41] <robbiethe1st> nikolavp: I don't know then. type the full path out?

[09:42] <nikolavp> strange bug
[09:42] <BaKeR> ubottu thanks man
[09:42] <trick> how do i grep through a directory looking for all files that end in *.rb and contain the line "it_behaves_like" ?
[09:42] <trick> i want it to return the name of the file matched and the line that matched
[09:42] <BaKeR> do you know if its will be more stable
[09:42] <BaKeR> ubottu
[09:43] <viktor133> anybody has had problems streaming from youtube with firefox lately?
[09:43] <van7hu> trick: "find",not sure about the question :)
[09:43] <robbiethe1st> BaKeR: Um, A, that's a bot, and B, Ubuntu 10.10 should be perfectly stable
[09:43] <BaKeR> how can the bot tell what im talking about lol
[09:44] <robbiethe1st> [01:41:45] <arand> !natty | BaKeR
[09:44] <trick> van7hu: i cant use grep?
[09:44] <robbiethe1st> That's how.
[09:44] <xorxorxor> ubuntu 11 coming out in april? man i just installed 10.10 two weeks ago

[09:44] <trick> niko: can you show me the exact line to achieve what i want?
[09:44] <nikolavp> http://betterthangrep.com/
[09:44] <BaKeR> lol
[09:44] <robbiethe1st> xorxorxor: So? do a dist-upgrade when the time's right
[09:44] <nikolavp> with this tool it's ack --ruby 'your line'
[09:44] <robbiethe1st> xorxorxor: No need to do a fresh install
[09:45] <xorxorxor> oh i didn't know that
[09:45] <nikolavp> but it will also not search in svn and whatsoever
[09:45] <xorxorxor> robbiethe1st: thanks. i'll look into it. via software update?
[09:45] <BaKeR> xorxroxor i just install yesterday i know what ya mean
[09:45] <nikolavp> trick, does that help ?
[09:45] <trick> nikolavp: if it doesnt ill return  here and rape your wife

[09:46] <trick> thanks
[09:46] <xorxorxor> BakeR: welcome to ubuntu! after making some adjustment, you'll love it more than anything else
[09:46] <elky> trick, what on earth? that attitude is not welcome here
[09:46] <van7hu> in "navigation aid" section
[09:46] <robbiethe1st> xorxorxor: Yes.
[09:46] <trick> elky: lol im just "edgy" and cool
[09:47] <alibi> trick: you're a bit feisty too
[09:47] <alibi> oh he left
[09:47] <BaKeR> freedom of speach peoples
[09:47] <elky> alibi, no he got removed. threatening people even as a "joke" isn't fair to anyone
[09:47] <alibi> well he wasn't gutsy, that's for sure
[09:48] <elky> alibi, you might want to use words that don't sound so heroic. threatening assault isn't heroic
[09:48] <BaKeR> i think that was a bit messed. cant anyone take a joke
[09:48] <BaKeR> these days?
[09:48] <elky> BaKeR, rape isn't a joke.
[09:49] <xorxorxor> vouched
[09:49] <BaKeR> nether is you mother mer
[09:49] <BaKeR> mother f er
[09:49] <elky> BaKeR, that language isn't welcome here.
[09:49] <alibi> elky, be a little more hardy, dude.
[09:49] <BaKeR> people say that all day everyday
[09:49] <alibi> (elky: don't you get my horrible puns yet?)
[09:50] <BaKeR> lol
[09:50] <elky> alibi, i see them. they're not really original for this channel
[09:50] <frybye> hmm - so no time for ubuntu support today...?
[09:50] <alibi> elky, well trick started it by calling himself edgy
[09:50] <BaKeR> whats ubuntu?
[09:51] <xorxorxor> african word for happiness.. something like that
[09:51] <Mkaysi> !ubuntu | BaKeR
[09:51] <frybye> sharing..
[09:51] <Sonne> xorxorxor, i think the official translation would be "humanity unto others"
[09:51] <Sonne> that's what i remember at least
[09:51] <jiltdil> !bashrc
[09:52] <BaKeR> so how long does everyone here think windows will last?
[09:52] <alibi> well, goodnight all you intrepid people
[09:52] <alibi> I have to leave because I can't think of any pun involving 'jaunty'
[09:52] <elky> BaKeR, forever. have you any actual support queries?
[09:52] <Mkaysi> BaKeR: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:53] <viktor133> question about firefox, has anybody been having difficulty streaming lately from youtube?
[09:54] <aeMaeth> i think i goofed up my iptables, any way to remove my changes?  i did a sudo iptables --list and there's nothing there
[09:54] <BaKeR> the only thing i can think of thats good about windows it the amount of software you can install
[09:54] <robbiethe1st> BaKeR: Mainly the amount of -games-. Everything else... who cares?
[09:54] <Mkaysi> !ot | BaKeR
[09:55] <alumnoadmin> hola
[09:55] <BaKeR> I dont care at all... but pesonly i think windows is going to fall
[09:56] <BaKeR> with in 5 or six years
[09:56] <jiltdil> How to do like this: when i open my terminal it will show message that i want to see always on terminal opening!
[09:57] <BaKeR> i dont understand jiltdi

[09:58] <jiltdil> BaKer : i want to say that when i open my terminal it will show some message say hello world.how to do this
[09:58] <Legendario> is that my impression or maverick doesn't have a low latency kernel on the repositories anymore?

[10:03] <BaKeR> lol
[10:04] <PEM> i'm not OS fan, for me an OS is just a tool, not something to take pride in or antyhign ^^ so i try just to be objective :)
[10:04] <PEM> windows is a good OS, and I cannot see any reason for it to die anytime soon :p

[10:20] <Tumulte> Hi! I got a small problem : sometimes I just can't eject my cdrom. There's an empty folder in /media and I can't umount nor mount it... Any suggestiions?
[10:21] <DOokami> ankush: may i IM u plz ?
[10:22] <jenia> Tumulte, sometimes, when I have this problem, I either try the 'eject' command from the console or 'sudo umount' with parameters from the console
[10:23] <Tumulte> jenia: I tried to eject : eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error
[10:23] <ankush> DOokami, yup
[10:23] <jenia> Tumulte, have you tried sudo eject?
[10:23] <Tumulte> about the sudo umount... I don't know which option I should use
[10:24] <Tumulte> yup
[10:24] <abcdefg> hao
[10:24] <jenia> Tumulte, read man umount, and you will know
[10:25] <Tumulte> "media/cdrom" is not mounted
[10:27] <eaxxae> anyone know a good live cd for malware/virus/trojan/rootkit scanning ?
[10:27] <jenia> Tumulte, maybe you have some hardware failure, your drive or the port it's connected to is about to die.
[10:27] <Legendario> is that my impression or maverick doesn't have a low latency kernel on the repositories anymore?
[10:28] <Tumulte> jenia: maybe
[10:28] <Tumulte> reboot solves this
[10:28] <Tumulte> I tried to found a better way*
[10:28] <Tumulte> find*
[10:30] <tim167> hi, how do i install a full ubuntu (not just a 'live usb') from within ubuntu?
[10:30] <jenia> Tumulte, I don't know how to reinstall drivers, except for graphics card drivers and WiFi cards drivers yet, but maybe you should research on how to reinstall your CD-Rom drivers.
[10:30] <codemagician> does anyone know why I can't open an application just by setting "export DISPLAY=othermachine:0"  I get the message "Error: cannot open display: othermachine:0"

[10:34]  * lemonhall SUSPEND_MODULES
[10:35]  * lemonhall I have soloved the Internet connection problem
[10:35]  * lemonhall thanks
[10:35] <sahni> deca, I didn't get your question.
[10:36] <knightstalker> deca,I just came here,but there are some log files in /var/log which you can use tail -f /var/log/LOGNAME to check them in real time,if you meant to see to which networks you are connected,iftop can be a way
[10:36] <jenia> deca, maybe dmesg...
[10:36] <deca> sahni . when i connect a device to a usb port ,,, does that create a log file with that action
[10:36] <esteste> No internet connection.....no way to install build-essential... I need MAKE to install b43-fwcutter for my internet connection.. Oh my god why didn't this at least include make
[10:37] <sahni> deca, not a different log file, but yes it does adds an entry in the log file. you can find such messages in /var/log/messages
[10:37] <sahni> deca, run "tail -f /var/log/messages" and connect the device. You should see the corresponding messages
[10:38] <jenia> deca, dmesg, displays kernel operations, or you can view that file in: /var/log/dmesg
[10:38] <Pumpkin-> esteste: do an apt-get --download-only somewhere with an internet connection, then sneakernet that over to the box you need to sort out.
[10:38] <lemonhall> esteste: lol, build make at first? just a joke~~
[10:38] <Pumpkin-> (and install the .debs with dpkg -i)
[10:40] <trick> anyone know hwo to get the Veoh web player working in ubuntu?
[10:42] <jenia> trick, it even in Windows didn't work correctly for me. :)
[10:42] <esteste> Pumpkin- that's probably what i really needed was how to open .deb files... thanks it worked.. i found a b43-fwcutter .deb
[10:42] <esteste> Also screw tinychat, no nickcolors and doesn't highlight my name by default
[10:42] <jimcooncat> I dislike epiphany-browser's icon because it has an arrow in it that looks like a mouse pointer. It's showing in my pager, which I keep next to another icon, and I end up clicking the wrong thing. I changed the icon under edit menus, but that doesn't change the icon showing in the pager or in alt-tab. Where do I go to change it?
[10:42] <trick> jenia: it works fine for me, now tell me how to get it workign in ubuntu pls
[10:44] <PhilT_> How to find ufw firewall app in Natty Alpha 3 (Unity) ?
[10:44] <txb> Hi what s the meaning of "noatime recommend". The Google translater cant find the word noatime. Is this a valid english word?
[10:44] <sipior> txb: "no access times"
[10:44] <jenia> trick: can't, never tried to run it in linux, I just installed minitube, xVideoServiceThief and Miro in it.
[10:44] <txb> sipior, thanks
[10:45] <Pulse> havent even tried
[10:45] <jimcooncat> txb -- atime means "access time" or last time a file was accessed. noatime means the filesystem doesn't keep track of when files were accessed.
[10:45] <sipior> txb: have a look at the "mount" man page for further explanation.
[10:45] <Pulse> ei txb
[10:45] <Pulse> that means
[10:45] <Pulse> t look both ways before he crosses the street with a handshake
[10:45] <jenia> trick: I could only suggest VirtualBox with some windows installed, if it doesn't work in Wine.
[10:45] <trick> jenia: so you figured how to watch stream veoh movies in linux? can you tell me how?
[10:45] <Pulse> with him on skype, windows live messenger, python, putty
[10:46] <quinode> Hi everybody, is there a known bug with the --chuid option of start-stop-daemon ? I try to launch pgAgent under postgres user, but its .pgpass file is never used by the script
[10:47] <trick> jenia: so you figured how to watch stream veoh movies in linux? can you tell me how?
[10:48] <Sonne> quinode, i'd give a go to #ubuntu-server if i was you
[10:48] <quinode> thanks sonne
[10:49] <newclimb> i have a problem with my keyboard the arrows doesnt'work
[10:49] <newclimb> anyone can helpme
[10:50] <Sonne> newclimb, they don't work on any program?
[10:50] <newclimb> yes
[10:50] <Sonne> quite strange, do you have a particular keyboard?
[10:50] <newclimb> its a notebook
[10:50] <PhilT_> do they work in the BIOS setup screen ?
[10:50] <Sonne> aha
[10:51] <PhilT_> Is Numlock selected ?
[10:51] <jenia> trick: not really, except for the hard way for now, I just browse with proxy (squid) and monitor connections with squidview, and, when I see some big video file starts loading, I copy the url and use it in wget to download it.
[10:51] <jimcooncat> I dislike epiphany-browser's icon because it has an arrow in it that looks like a mouse pointer. It's showing in my pager, which I keep next to another icon, and I end up clicking the wrong thing. I changed the icon under edit menus, but that doesn't change the icon showing in the pager or in alt-tab. Where do I go to change it?
[10:52] <Sonne> jimcooncat, i don't think you have control over that icon, not by easy means at least
[10:52] <trick> jenia: ok, can u pls get nme the movie 'kiki's delivery service' and 'howl's moving castle' using that method and send to me? thanks
[10:52] <newclimb> pgup and down doesnt work too
[10:53] <Sonne> newclimb, did you see PhilT_'s questions?
[10:54] <newclimb> there is no numlock
[10:54] <jenia> trick: I don't really have time for it now, just install squid and squidview and do it yourself or install veoh in VirtualBox or Wine.
[10:54] <txb> I found "noatime recommend" in a howto for DRBD. Is it really a good idea to use noatime to not update the inode access times when mounting a drbd-device?
[10:54] <trick> jenia: i only have 1 gig ram, can i install virtual box with that?
[10:55] <trick> jenia: im on a netbook
[10:55] <airtonix> i want to use synapse ( http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/synapse-gnome-do-launcher-app-review-ubuntu/ ) , but when i run it, X11 seems to die/exit/stop running and I am returned to the login screen.
[10:56] <jenia> trick, WinXP can work with 128Mb (mimimum), although, I got it to work even with 64Mb of ram. Yes, Gig is enough.
[10:56] <jimcooncat> txb: I can see why, as keep track of access times is a lot of overhead. But check if DRBD supports relatime, it will give you atimes with less overhead than the default.
[10:56] <newclimb> there is some way to recovery the conf without lost somes documents
[10:56] <newclimb> any command line
[10:57] <jimcooncat> txb, on the other hand, DRBD might not care at all, but doesn't like the latency of the kernel updating the atimes.
[10:58] <OY1R> How can i map a USB soundcard -> http://pastie.org/1642596 to /dev/dspX in ubuntu 10.10 ?
[10:58] <txb> jimcooncat, thanks, I will test it first.
[10:59] <jimcooncat> txb, I'm not sure how practical atimes are, perhaps your situation doesn't need them. I dunno though.

[10:59] <PhilT_> @newclimb NumLock not a Fn function ? Does kb arrows work in BIOS @ boot
[11:00] <trick> jenia: im trying to start virtual box but it's asking for windowsxp cdrom, what do i do
[11:00] <newclimb> im gonna restart to see
[11:01] <jenia> trick: VirtualBox is a Program emulating a real computer, You have to insert some Windows CD/DVD to install it inside of it. Windows will think that it's running on a real computer.
[11:01] <trick> jenia: can i just get a windows xp iso or something from the internet?
[11:02] <jenia> trick: I cannot advise you this, since it's a piracy, but you can use any win xp cd or iso
[11:03] <newclimb> doesnt worked too
[11:03] <[deXter]> trick: Why are you trying to install Windows?
[11:04] <trick> [deXter]: oh hello dexter i didnt see you there. im trying to install windwos so i can watch videos on veoh
[11:05] <jenia> [deXter], he is trying to use a video file downloader for veoh video site, and the downloader only exists in windows
[11:05] <jenia> trick, did you try to run it with wine?
[11:05] <[deXter]> ah, well it should work in wine
[11:06] <newclimb> PhilT_, doesnt worked too
[11:06] <[deXter]> if you install the ffmpeg pack

[11:08] <DJones> vintHave a look at unottu'slink about the minimal install cd, that sounds like its what you need
