[07:55] <llutz_> Voting: more important is the warning, fdisk gave you. use parted to change partitiontable format
[07:55] <kz3> can anyone help me in installing a theme?
[07:55] <YankDownUnder> Voting, Try then this: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb => "c" => "w" => "q"
[07:56] <s7nf> guys, can I do (tagged) vlan between two computers directly connected over ethernet (without router/switch)?
[07:56] <YankDownUnder> kz3, Mate, you're trying to install a GTK2 theme on a GTK3 system.
[07:56] <bobweaver> any grub guru around
[07:56] <YankDownUnder> bobweaver, I've eaten grubs. Cooked (actually, fried).
[07:56] <HackNewton> lol
[07:56] <bobweaver> lol
[07:56] <kz3> YankDownUnder : means I cant install it?
[07:56] <YankDownUnder> kz3, Um....short answer: no.
[07:57] <john> anybody?
[07:57] <bobweaver> I am looking for the fule that list all grub history and also
[07:57] <HackNewton> kz3, find themes for GTK3
[07:58] <YankDownUnder> bobweaver, Fule? Um...FILE?
[07:58] <bobweaver> YankDownUnder: yes sir
[07:58] <Lasers> Fuel?
[07:58] <YankDownUnder> bobweaver, /var/log/boot.log ??
[07:58] <ikonia> file
[07:58] <wd40s> what would be a good distro to move onto after ubuntu?
[07:58] <thegoodcushion> wd40s: why are you moving on?
[07:58] <ikonia> wd40s: what ever you want, it's personal choice, no-one says you have to change
[07:59] <bobweaver> wd40s: look at distro watsh
[07:59] <HackNewton> wd40s, well here are ubuntu fans
[07:59] <YankDownUnder> wd40s, hehehehehhehe...BeOS!
[07:59] <kz3> HackNewton : dude what about this one http://tinyurl.com/6xh5mad ?
[07:59] <bobweaver> wd40s: look at distro watch *
[07:59] <dunbar> Kubuntu?
[07:59] <HackNewton> dunbar, nice suggestion :D
[07:59] <wd40s> well i want something more involved where i can learn more about linux
[07:59] <john> hi,I'm from China.
[08:00] <bobweaver> you can add kde to ubunut
[08:00] <bobweaver> you can add kde to ubuntu
[08:00] <llutz_> wd40s: that depends on YOU not on the distro you use
[08:00] <dunbar> you can learn a lot on ubuntu
[08:00] <bobweaver> Distrowatch
[08:00] <HackNewton> wd40s, distro dont come in way while learning linux
[08:00] <vikapi> wd40s, wat exactly r u expecting from a linux distro..
[08:00] <Voting> YankDownUnder: Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/646289/    gparted still does not have this new device in the menu.
[08:00] <YankDownUnder> Debian Squeeze? Gentoo? Arch? Slackware?
[08:00] <vikapi> wd40s: almost all linux distro be it debian or redhat or arch or slack are similar..not same though
[08:01] <ikonia> chaps - other distros are not this channels problem/concern, maybe take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:01] <KeLv_MaNu> if you want to learn more about how linux works, use arch or gentoo
[08:01] <bobweaver> ikonia: +1
[08:01] <llutz_> Voting: use "parted". "sudo parted /dev/sdb" then "mklabel gpt" "mkpart primary 0 3001G" "quit" then "sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sdb1"
[08:01] <kutumbaba> Hey guyz
[08:01] <YankDownUnder> Voting, As llutz_ suggested, try running "parted" - not gParted - on this drive. If it's not installed (should be) then install it...
[08:02] <wd40s> i was thinking about trying out arch but ive heard there can be security issues since they dont sign their packages
[08:02] <kutumbaba> Where can i get fancy shmancy login splash screen?
[08:02] <ikonia> wd40s: then you need to do more research as that you are saying has no relevence, however I suggest you take this to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to chat more
[08:03] <john_rambo>  Hi, if upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 now, will the wine PPA work ?
[08:03] <Lasers> john_rambo: PPA will be disabled if I remember it correctly.
[08:03] <ikonia> john_rambo: 11.10 is not supported at all, so it's not something we suggest
[08:03] <Carnage__> Hey guys. Starting this morning, I've been having serious issues with my (K)ubuntu 11.04. Several programs do not start anymore, clicking the K-Menu butto does not work anymore, etc. For example, Firefox does not start anymore. When I start it with strace, I see that its last action is to try to read from a socket in /tmp/.ICE-unix and there it hangs
[08:03] <rww> john_rambo: If you upgrade to Ubuntu oneiric now, your computer will burst into flames and then eat your cat. It is not stable at all, and the Wine PPA will be the least of your problems.
[08:03] <Voting> llutz_ and YankDownUnder: thanks! OK, will try. Sorry I'm so slow/dumb about these things. I do them **so** rarely.
[08:03] <Carnage__> Since I also got a few messages that programs cannot connect to localhost, I assumed it to be a network problem. However, I can ping localhost and also remote URLs...
[08:04]  * YankDownUnder thinks that having yer distro eat your cat is worse than things bursting into flames
[08:04] <john_rambo> Lasers, ikonia rww Okay ..... I will wait then
[08:05] <Luca> Hello
[08:05] <kutumbaba> Please don't remove synaptic from 11.10 coz i depend on it heavily..
[08:05] <Luca> when I try to extract a file it gives Child returned status 2
[08:05] <HackNewton> Carnage__, if you have firewall enable try to view into its log if localhost had been blocked
[08:05] <Luca> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[08:05] <YankDownUnder> Voting, Patience is a virtue...taking time to learn something is always a good effort, not a waste.
[08:06] <Carnage__> HackNewton: I did not enable one actively, but it could be that it is running by default. Where would I check?
[08:06] <rww> kutumbaba: please feel free to install it, then. packages taken out of the default install do not disappear, they're still in the repositories.
[08:06] <Lasers> kutumbaba: You could always install it back afterward.
[08:06] <HackNewton> Carnage__, there is default firwall you can find in System Setting
[08:06] <kz3> Lasers:  can you help me install this theme http://tinyurl.com/6xh5mad ?
[08:06] <Luca> when I try to extract a file it gives Child returned status 2  tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I am on SSH (server)
[08:06] <Voting> llutz_: after I typed "mkpart primary 0 3001G" it says:  "Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance.
[08:06] <Voting> Ignore/Cancel?" what should I do?
[08:07] <Lasers> kz3: rahul?
[08:07] <Voting> YankDownUnder: thanks for the encouragement. should I cancel?
[08:07] <llutz_> Voting: read google about "partition alignment". sorry can't help you with that, i never had to do that
[08:07] <kutumbaba> I don't have fast and reliable inet connecshun to use software center. Instead i try to resolve the dependencies manually and install them from local disk
[08:08] <kz3> Lasers : yes, actually I Just registered on freenode , so I chose a new username, I hope its okay
[08:08] <YankDownUnder> Voting, No...just hang on a tick...
[08:08] <Carnage__> HackNewton: I cannot access the KMenu (as well as System Settings)
[08:08] <Voting> YankDownUnder: hanging!
[08:08] <Lasers> kz3: That's for Gnome3, I think. You, on other hands, are using Unity.
[08:08] <kz3> Lasers : I am not using unity anymore
[08:08] <YankDownUnder> Voting, Choose "ignore" and continue the process laid out by llutz_  => once that is done, you can "check" the partition afterwards.
[08:09] <Voting> YankDownUnder: thanks! will do...
[08:09] <Lasers> kz3: Well, try and plop it in ~/.themes
[08:10] <kz3> Lasers : thats it??
[08:11] <Voting> llutz_: its writing the inode tables.
[08:11] <tyl> where is php located?
[08:11] <Lasers> kz3: Either that or launch Appearances, drag the file to that window.
[08:11] <YankDownUnder> kz3, Remember, plopping is hard to do, mate.
[08:11] <llutz_> !info parted
[08:11] <kz3> Lasers : thanks man
[08:11] <Lasers> !php | tyl
[08:11] <tyl> i need to run this command
[08:12] <Lasers> tyl: "sudo dpkg -L $PACKAGE_NAME"
[08:12] <joobie> hey guys.. anyone know how to make the 'date' command output 1 or 2 alternatively, based on the week it is in? so for example week1 of the year output 1, week 2 output 2, week 3 output 1, etc..
[08:12] <tyl> in mac osx i do this
[08:12] <llutz_> hmpf, parte-faq says parted should align partitions automagically since 1.7...
[08:12] <tyl> Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.2/bin/php push.php development
[08:12] <cyc> hello, I've got a bunch of packages marked as "ri" in "dpk -l" output.  Packages seem to be installed fine, but what does that "r" mean?
[08:12] <Lasers> joobie: Make a script, me think.
[08:12] <tyl> i need to know where bin/php is located on ubuntu
[08:13] <llutz_> tyl: "which php"   if empty, sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[08:13] <llutz_> tyl: /usr/bin/php   most likely
[08:13] <tyl> llutz_: i already have installed php
[08:14] <kz3> Lasers : its a .7z file and its giving an error when I am try to drag it into "Appearence"
[08:14] <llutz_> tyl: the -cli package aswell?
[08:14] <kutumbaba> tyl: type where php
[08:14] <Lasers> kz3: Uncompress it. Un7z the file.
[08:14] <llutz_> !info php5-cli
[08:14] <kz3> Lasers : you know any program which can unzip it?
[08:15] <Lasers> kz3: Search for 7z in the repo. I'm sure you'll find it.
[08:15] <tyl> in ubuntu's terminal bash what does green and teal files mean?
[08:15] <kz3> Lasers : you mean software centre?
[08:15] <Lasers> kz3: I think so.
[08:15] <kz3> Lasers : sorry man but I am a noob
[08:16] <Da|Mummy> how do i figure out if a usb device ive got plugged in is usb1.1 or usb2?
[08:16] <Lasers> kz3: I said I think so (because I don't use Software Center myself so I'm not quite sure).
[08:16] <lonix> Lasers: its in software center
[08:16] <tyl> llutz_: yes cli is installed
[08:16] <YankDownUnder> kz3, You're only a n00b until you learn something. Then you're "an educated n00b"
[08:16] <Lasers> lonix: Cool. Thank you. :)
[08:16] <lonix> np
[08:17] <kz3> Lasers : I am installing a software which can uncompress the 7z
[08:17] <tyl> kutumbaba: i can't run where as a command says not found
[08:17] <llutz_> tyl: "which php"
[08:17] <Voting> YankDownUnder and/or llutz_ what do I do when the thing is done writing inodes and completes? its only up to 5k of the 22k it needs... (and When people type stuff like " !info php5-cli " what DB is the bot using to answer these questions? Where do I read about this cool bot and what it can do for me?)
[08:17] <kz3>  YankDownUnder : very true
[08:17] <lonix> kz3: from software center ?
[08:17] <tyl> which php
[08:17] <tyl> opps that was suppose to go into terminal
[08:17] <kz3> lonix : ??
[08:17] <llutz_> tyl: that is a command
[08:17] <llutz_> !bot | Voting
[08:17] <kutumbaba> Oof sorry mah bad
[08:18] <YankDownUnder> Voting, Ya wait until it's finished writing out the inodes my friend...it's a large drive...might take a while dude...
[08:18] <Voting> llutz_: you are most helpful!
[08:18] <lonix> kz3: did you search for 7z in software center ?
[08:18] <Lasers> Voting: More than an hour, I'd imagine! :)
[08:18] <Voting> YankDownUnder: I might fall asleep. I tis 4:18 in NYC.
[08:19] <kz3> lonix : yes
[08:19] <lonix> kz3: good then it will work niceliy
[08:19] <YankDownUnder> Voting, NO ONE sleeps in NYC mate...you must be from Jersey. ;)
[08:19] <shiyang> hi
[08:19] <nmaxchat> hello. I have a question. First of all, please understand I am NOT a techie and that many technical answers are over my head. I want to know if upgrading from Lucid Lynx 10.04 to 10.11 would solve a number of bugs I get on 10.04. I don't hink I want to upgrade to 11.04 as I read it remains unstable compared to win 7
[08:19] <Voting> YankDownUnder: well, don't sleep much...
[08:20] <kz3> lonix : its working nicely
[08:20] <shiyang> liuxiaoxiang
[08:20] <Voting> YankDownUnder: but, just in case you guys are not around when it DOES finish...
[08:20] <lonix> nmaxchat: First of all, there is noe version called 10.11 its 10.10, what bugs are you experiencing
[08:20] <Voting> what do I do next?
[08:20] <Lasers> nmaxchat: If you're NOT a techie as you so claim, you might want to stay on 10.04 LTS. Will it solve a number of bugs? Yes -- but is it your bugs? We don't know.
[08:21] <Voting> llutz_: What do you THINK I will need to do to finish the rest of the work, post creating inodes?
[08:21] <tyl> thanks guys it looks like its working
[08:22] <lonix> kz3: good
[08:22] <llutz_> Voting: just use the drive?
[08:22] <alazare619> the 10.04 i855 problem is really a nussance its kinda annoying...they really need to do something about i855 intel chip drivers in ubuntu...
[08:22] <nmaxchat> lonix, First I have not been able to print recently w/my HP 1018. Then When I log in, after the log in screen I get a window: A program is still running Power manager and my mouse does not work. Thirdly, half the time my shutdown button is greyed out.
[08:22] <Voting> llutz_: Oh, that's it? It should auto-mount when I stick it into an ubuntu machine?
[08:23] <Rouse> how to develop the qt skills ?
[08:23] <iszak> Does anyone recommend a web based snmp client?
[08:23] <llutz_> Voting: it should, it might have permission problems as it holds an unix-fs. "sudo chown -R you:you /media/blah" afte rmounting,  if you want YOU to have full access
[08:24] <nmaxchat> Lasers, I had been happy w/ Linux but I still find it lacks some features I want that may be in a more recent version.
[08:25] <crackerjackz> say i ssh into a another computer.. isn't there a way to get the program to render on my screen instead?
[08:26] <llutz_> crackerjackz:use ssh -X
[08:26] <Lasers> nmaxchat: Such as?
[08:26] <crackerjackz> llutz, ssh -X username@domain?
[08:26] <llutz_> crackerjackz: right
[08:26] <Lasers> ssh -Y?
[08:26] <crackerjackz> llutz, ty :)
[08:27] <Lasers> nmaxchat: Well -- If you don't mind occasional bugs and glitches, the experiences on 10.04 and 10.10 is pretty similar with several changes. However, 11.04 is the whole different ballpark.
[08:28] <nmaxchat> Lasers, I did read that it was not super stable
[08:28] <llutz_> crackerjackz: btw it's user@host  not @domain </nitpick> ;)
[08:28] <Kidlike_> hello
[08:28] <crackerjackz> llutz, i'll make a mental note of that ty..
[08:28] <Lasers> nmaxchat: It's up to you. It varies for every person (and their machines!)
[08:28] <kutumbaba> Where can I find good ol' QDesign Music decoder? Btw the upcoming ubuntu really needs a better player than banshee. Just sayin
[08:28] <Kidlike_> does anyone here know about kernel messages ?
[08:28] <nmaxchat> Lasers, I dont like MS, but I need a stable system. My PC is my "wheelchair" fir my ADHD
[08:28] <kz3> can I uninstall unity from ubuntu 11.04?
[08:29] <Da|Mummy> how do i figure out if a usb device ive got plugged in is usb1.1 or usb2?
[08:29] <llutz_> kz3: just don't use it
[08:29] <crackerjackz> llutz, can you make any sense of this http://pastebin.com/MczbAEEk
[08:29] <rww> !classic | kz3
[08:29] <nmaxchat> Lasers, IF I upgrade to 11.04, would it solve my bugs which I posted earlier ?
[08:29] <Rouse> tell me some c++ channels
[08:30] <gry2> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6973850&postcount=4 worked. What is the nature of the problem?
[08:30] <gry2> Rouse: ##C++
[08:30] <llutz_> crackerjackz: sudo won't work with ssh -X, use "sux"
[08:30] <ikonia> Rouse: freenode.net lists channels
[08:30] <blivori> hi
[08:30] <gry2> Rouse: /msg alis help list
[08:31] <llutz_> crackerjackz: not sure, "ssh -Y " as Lasers mentioned, might help in that case
[08:31] <blivori> Is it possible to make a folder on a server running ubuntu read only? (a user accessing the system cannot copy,move or delete a file)
[08:31] <gry2> blivori: hi
[08:31] <gry2> !permissions | blivori
[08:31] <Kidlike_> does anyone know a good room for linux administration ?
[08:31] <ikonia> blivori: sure make it owned by root and set the permissions to read only access
[08:31] <gry2> Kidlike_, here too
[08:31] <blivori> gry2: Yes but I only want the users accessing the servers to read-only
[08:31] <ikonia> Kidlike_: freenode.net - read the channel list
[08:31] <Voting> llutz_: If it does not auto mount, I can use the mount command I suppose? (mount *Always* confuses me...)
[08:32] <Kidlike_> well I could ask here too.. but I think it's a bit hardcore :)
[08:32] <ikonia> Kidlike_: are you using ubuntu ?
[08:32] <Kidlike_> no :/
[08:32] <llutz_> Voting: yes, "sudo mkdir /media/bigdrive && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/bigdrive"
[08:32] <ikonia> Kidlike_: ok - then it's no place in this channel
[08:32] <blivori> ubottu: It's an intranet server running ubuntu - Employees need to read PDF files but I need to restrict usage.. as in I don't want them to copy the files to their own PC, delete them or move them but they can read them and open them
[08:32] <llutz_> Voting: "mkdir" only needed once to create the mountpoint
[08:33] <blivori> gry2: It's an intranet server running ubuntu - Employees need to read PDF files but I need to restrict usage.. as in I don't want them to copy the files to their own PC, delete them or move them but they can read them and open them
[08:33] <ikonia> blivori: you can't stop them copying it to their PC as that is read access
[08:33] <gry2> blivori: Permissions can do that
[08:33] <blivori> ikonia: Any solution on how to solve the problem then? lol
[08:33] <blivori> gry2:  is there any way in linux on how to do it?
[08:33] <llutz_> gry2: permissions CAN'T do that
[08:33] <ikonia> well I'm keen to hear what gry2 solution is
[08:34] <ikonia> apparntly permissions can do it,
[08:34] <blivori> gry2:  how?
[08:34] <Voting> llutz_: THANKS!! YankDownUnder: THANKS!!!
[08:34] <gry2> blivori, I'm just chmod and chown it like you need, the permissions page explains how to do that
[08:34] <blivori> ok i will give them a look. thanks
[08:35] <gry2> yw
[08:35] <ikonia> gry2: how will that stop them copying it to their own PC
[08:35] <YankDownUnder> Voting, Um...did it work?
[08:35] <ikonia> blivori: that won't stop them copying it to their own PC
[08:35] <kz3> can I use metacity themes on ubuntu 11.04?
[08:35] <gry2> ikonia: it won't, they'd be able to edit the files, adobe pdf technology has ways to make files read only then
[08:35] <crackerjackz> llutz_, this is with ssh -Y http://pastebin.com/4zCr9qV0
[08:35] <YankDownUnder> kz3, 11.04 doesn't use Metacity
[08:35] <blivori> ikonia: I know.. I had already looked into permissions but they can still copy them
[08:36] <ikonia> blivori: you won't be able to do what you want with raw permissions
[08:36] <kz3>  YankDownUnder : cant I install it?
[08:36] <YankDownUnder> kz3, Short answer: No.
[08:36] <blivori> ikonia: any idea on how to do it then?
[08:36] <ikonia> blivori: gry2 was wrong, hence why he's just quit
[08:36] <kz3> :(
[08:36] <rubyy> hey bros,  i have installed kubuntu.  and on first boot. it crashed (gets held with a black screen)  .. it happens before the big K icon is loaded. help ?
[08:36] <YankDownUnder> kz3, Wait - sorry - you're running "Classic Desktop", right?
[08:36] <kz3> yes
[08:36] <wildbat> blivori: when i can read it i can copy it `
[08:36] <ikonia> blivori: that's really tricky, I'm thinking some group policy on the clients side (assuming the clients are windows) but I honestly don't know
[08:37] <blivori> ikonia: ok thanks
[08:37] <blivori> wildbat: I know.. that's why I'm looking for help :P
[08:37] <YankDownUnder> kz3, Mate, so sorry - yeah, cuz that's Gnome2 - so yes, you can use Metacity themes (put them in your ~/.themes directory)
[08:37] <kz3> where will i find that directory?
[08:38] <blivori> ikonia: maybe some kind of linux firewall on the server side could do that? like restrict uploading of files?
[08:38] <llutz_> crackerjackz: just don't use GUI-stuff :)  sux is not a sudo-replacement, its a "su" which sets x-env correct. so you have to "sudo sux" on the remote host
[08:38] <ikonia> blivori: nah, that's not going to do anything, it will have to be a client side policy/restriction
[08:39] <YankDownUnder> kz3, It's in your "Home" directory => if you don't see it, you can set Nautilus to see "hidden files and folders"
[08:39] <YankDownUnder> kz3, ...and if you don't have it, you can create it.
[08:39] <kutumbaba> Ok I'm leavin. Buhbye all.
[08:39] <blivori> ikonia: hmmm.. ok thanks
[08:39]  * rubyy waits for help\
[08:40] <crackerjackz> llutz, yah but what if i want to use GUI stuff?
[08:40] <llutz_> crackerjackz: try the second part of my last line
[08:40] <fabzor3> hello
[08:41] <fabzor3> i am having trouble with r1q2 in ubuntu
[08:41] <rubyy> hurrrr..
[08:41] <fabzor3> it says /dev/dsp cannot restart
[08:41] <crackerjackz> llutz, run sudo sux from the ssh session or physically go to the host computer and run sudo sux?
[08:41] <ikonia> rubyy: can you please wait quietly
[08:41] <llutz_> crackerjackz: from ssh session
[08:41] <Voting> YankDownUnder: just finished making iNodes!
[08:42] <YankDownUnder> Voting, Right oh. Go get a bagel and smile.
[08:42] <crackerjackz> llutz_, i get the same error
[08:42] <llutz_> crackerjackz: no idea then, sorry
[08:42] <rubyy> ikonia if you say please. sure
[08:42] <fabzor3> /dev/dsp: Bad file descriptor
[08:42] <fabzor3> Could not reset /dev/dsp
[08:42] <fabzor3>  <-- what does this mean?
[08:42] <crackerjackz> llutz_, does sux have to be on both computers?
[08:42] <llutz_> crackerjackz: nope
[08:43] <Voting> YankDownUnder: cut the antisemitic humor :-) and tell me about that "checking to see if the alignment is correct" thing, please? Is that the next thing I should do?
[08:44] <YankDownUnder> Voting, Wasn't a joke my friend - I've spent heaps time in NYC years ago...heaps...meanwhile, if you run gparted on that drive you should be able to check for errors (if there really are any)
[08:45] <Voting> YankDownUnder: avoiding wheat myself... brb
[08:45] <YankDownUnder> Voting,  ;)
[08:45] <fabzor3> yeah palimest is a cool app YankDownUnder
[08:46] <fabzor3> or palimsest or whatever its called
[08:47] <Voting> YankDownUnder: Still don't see "/dev/sdb" in gparted's menu of devices.
[08:48] <YankDownUnder> Voting, Ok...so the drive has been formatted...and we're sure of that now...so, what you might do is to remove the drive, wait a few seconds, then plug it in and see 1.) does it show up on the desktop and 2.) can gParted see it.....?
[08:53] <YankDownUnder> fabzor3, Um...is it about the Archimedes "Palimpsest"?
[08:53] <fabzor3> its the name for the gnome disk tool in the command line
[08:54] <fabzor3> palimpsest
[08:54] <Voting> YankDownUnder: it does not seem to automount and no, gparted does not seem to see it. Should I try llutz_ suggstion of creating a mount point and mounting it?
[08:54] <YankDownUnder> fabzor3, Oh, right oh...thought it was a referral to the document that they've been "de-coding" for years from Archimedes... ;)
[08:55] <YankDownUnder> Voting, That's always a good go. (Try just creating a dir under /media, and mounting it there)
[08:55] <JoAnneThrax> Hi, #ubuntuans.  I just installed a new ubuntu system on this box, and everything seems smashing except that my computer seems confused about the size of my monitor.
[08:55] <bobweaver> anyone know hoe to make the desktop widget come back the one that is there right after install on kubunntu 10.10
[08:55] <JoAnneThrax> Everything displayed is a bit too stretched horizontally/squeezed vertically...
[08:55] <Nephro> JoAnneThrax, laptop?
[08:55] <JoAnneThrax> Nephro: Yes.
[08:55] <Nephro> JoAnneThrax, sandy bridge architecture?
[08:55] <wolf9s> What is the different between Process and Thread in Linux?
[08:56] <JoAnneThrax> Nephro: I don't know what that means...
[08:56] <Nephro> JoAnneThrax, is your laptop very new and carries an intel i5 processor on it?
[08:56] <YankDownUnder> "Sandy Bridge" is an architecture for graphics on the motherboard.
[08:57] <JoAnneThrax> Nephro: Not "very" new...it's a year or two old.
[08:57] <JoAnneThrax> I'm unsure what the processor is...
[08:58] <YankDownUnder> JoAnneThrax, Have you tried beating it with a stick yet? (Joking) => you might want to check for the proper video driver.
[08:59] <Nephro> The newest ubuntu is pretty smart I must admit, only this os was capable of identifying and properly running drivers for my sandy bridge, so I think it should work with anything older
[09:00] <JoAnneThrax> YankDownUnder: So...how do I go about that?
[09:01] <soulis77-SE> When I as root creates an user with adduser xxxxx     does that user get root priviliges by default?
[09:01] <Myrtti> soulis77-SE: no
[09:01] <llutz_> soulis77-SE: no
[09:01] <YankDownUnder> JoAnneThrax, I'm not happy nor familiar with 11.04, so you might want to look somewhere in the System Settings for "Hardware Drivers" => see if the proper video driver is installed mate.
[09:02] <soulis77-SE> I have created an acount, I could log on to the account but then I did: PermitRootLogin No in sshd_config and now I can't even access the ssh prompt.
[09:02] <soulis77-SE> To me that don't seem right.
[09:03] <Voting> llutz_: was able to mount it, make myself the owner of all the files, etc. now I can create files on this thing. gparted STILL does not seem to see it. No idea of I have allignment problems.
[09:03] <JoAnneThrax> YankDownUnder: I'm not using 11.04; I'm using 10.04.2
[09:04] <JoAnneThrax> YankDownUnder: Also, I'm not familiar with this "system settings" thing
[09:04] <m0n> JoAnneThrax, try using Jockey to see if there's proprietary drivers for it. If not you can try using xorg-edgers open source drivers
[09:04] <llutz_> Voting: "alignment" is just a performance thingy. i don't know gparted, can't ssay why i won't see the drive. i'd just stick with other tools
[09:04] <YankDownUnder> JoAnneThrax, Awesome. Right. Then click SYSTEM => ADMINISTRATION => ADDITIONAL DRIVERS
[09:04] <JoAnneThrax> m0n: Jockey?
[09:05] <m0n> See what YankDownUnder  said ;)
[09:05] <JoAnneThrax> YankDownUnder: Awesome. Right.  I'm not using one of the standard guis.
[09:05] <m0n> Additional Drivers is jockey.
[09:05] <YankDownUnder> JoAnneThrax, Roger that.
[09:05] <rsv> an app checks for ubuntu 10.04. how to make it believe that it is running in 10.04. if my actual installation is 10.10
[09:06] <JoAnneThrax> ...so I'm looking for the usual command-line/editing a file type thing...
[09:06] <m0n> JoAnneThrax, easier method if you want to run it via cli type in jockey-gtk
[09:06] <YankDownUnder> JoAnneThrax, (or jockey-text)
[09:06] <JoAnneThrax> It's very strange; It's never had this problem before in my previous installation, but that was jaunty/karmic
[09:07] <JoAnneThrax> Okay.  Installing that.
[09:07] <soulis77-SE> So can anyone think of what is wrong? Everything is done with ssh since it is a remote host. I logged in as root. Created a new account, without root priviliges. I tested that account, and I could login. I could do su - and change to root.  Then I edited sshd_config and put PermitRootLogin No and did a restart. Now I can't even access the ssh prompt.
[09:07] <telxt> i got a problem
[09:07] <YankDownUnder> telxt, We all have problems.
[09:08] <telxt> my ubuntu is running a sshd
[09:08] <telxt> but i never started it
[09:08] <telxt> or configured it
[09:08] <llutz_> soulis77-SE: sshd runs fine after restarting it?
[09:08] <llutz_> telxt: sudo apt-get purge openssh-server
[09:08] <soulis77-SE> llutz: don't know since I can't access server...
[09:09] <llutz_> soulis77-SE:" nmap -p 22 servers-ip"
[09:09] <JoAnneThrax> YankDownUnder and m0n : groovy...it's downloading a driver.  I'll let you know if it works...  Thanks!
[09:09] <YankDownUnder> JoAnneThrax, Does that mean you're buying the beer?
[09:09] <m0n> JoAnneThrax, no worries :)
[09:09] <JoAnneThrax> YankDownUnder: The virtual beer, sure.
[09:10] <m0n> if only my problem was that easy to fix! LOL
[09:10]  * JoAnneThrax doesn't use the legal drugs herself.
[09:10] <YankDownUnder> JoAnneThrax, Roger that.
[09:10] <h2kill> hi
[09:10] <telxt> llutz_ : it vanished thx alot
[09:10] <YankDownUnder> m0n, hehehhehe...yeah...I need to find out where to bury the body! hehehhehehehehe (nah, me missus is great)
[09:10] <h2kill> there some chinese?
[09:10] <JoAnneThrax> I could go for some chinese.
[09:10] <m0n> YankDownUnder, mate there's plenty of "backyard" just find a spot ;)
[09:11] <JoAnneThrax> Unfortunately, there're not enough good chinese places in this city...
[09:11] <YankDownUnder> m0n, ;) I've got a national forest just five minutes from me....hehehehehhee....
[09:11] <Myrtti> !offtopic | just a quick reminder
[09:11] <telxt> llutz_ : any idea how it started? iam 100% sure i never did /etc/init.d/sshd start or something similar
[09:11] <YankDownUnder> Right. Time for tea. cheerio!
[09:11] <JoAnneThrax> Myrtti: Sorry :)
[09:12] <llutz_> telxt: it runs automatically when being installed. no idea what/who pulled it into your system
[09:12] <szal> !cn | h2kill
[09:13] <soulis77-SE> llutz: I only have ssh putty connection. How can I do the nmap -p 22 servers-ip command then?
[09:13] <h2kill> thanks
[09:13] <carpenter> hi is there any  chanel linuxmint  with many users?
[09:13] <m0n> So, i've been trying to get my bluetooth working on ubuntu 11.04. The bluetooth card is an ath-ar5b95, which is an ar9285 wireless card and a ar3011 bluetooth card in one. Works with xubuntu 11.04 but not ubuntu 11.04. Any one able to help me out?
[09:13] <Myrtti> soulis77-SE: you must know the ip address of the server if you are connecting to it
[09:14] <soulis77-SE> yes I know the ip
[09:14] <wildgoose> !mint > carpenter
[09:14] <soulis77-SE> but I can't access the ssh prompt anylonger since i did the Permitroot...
[09:15] <Myrtti> soulis77-SE: nmap is to check if the ssh port is even open anymore
[09:15] <Myrtti> soulis77-SE: do you even get a password prompt when you try to log in?
[09:15] <groll> What are those extra "partitions" or idk, i can choose them when booting, they appeared when I had to force shut down
[09:15] <groll> ?
[09:15] <carpenter> i only want a canel link of linuxmint with many users
[09:15] <carpenter> a chanel
[09:15] <llutz_> soulis77-SE: i'd "guess" you made a typo in sshd-config and it refuses to start now. try to get rescue-system running and check
[09:16] <Myrtti> carpenter: ubottu should have gave you a channel name?
[09:16] <jemadux> i am on lucid and installed thunderbird via ppa ... the latest edition ...and the i18n not working
[09:16] <wsagent> one of my friend's laptop got stolen ... how can we find out who and where is it using now ?
[09:16] <JoAnneThrax> When mounting a partition in my /etc/fstab, I've got "/dev/sda4     /mnt/OtherUbuntu   ext3   <options>   0   2"...what would be appropriate for the <options> (and is "2" the appropriate <pass> entry)?  It's the partition that held/holds my previous linux installation...
[09:16] <Guest6083> UBUNTUUUU
[09:16] <carpenter> myrtti no people in mint
[09:17] <Myrtti> carpenter: if there aren't any people active on the channel ubottu gave you, we don't know any other channel to give, sorry
[09:17] <ikonia> carpenter: there are many people in and active
[09:18] <wsagent> one of my friend's laptop got stolen ... how can we find out who and where is it using now ?
[09:18] <ikonia> wsagent: you can't
[09:18] <Myrtti> wsagent: by default there isn't any way to do that
[09:18] <llutz_> !ot | wsagent ask the nsa or whoever. if theres no remote-access service running you can't
[09:19] <m0n> JoAnneThrax, i generally tend to us noatime options for most of my fs if it's for home use. This helps reduce load on the hdd, and sometimes can help increase performance on the drive.
[09:20] <wamicho> i have configured samba and iam getting errors couldn't find the service
[09:20] <wamicho> i have configured samba and iam getting errors couldn't find the service what does that mean
[09:21] <m0n> JoAnneThrax, particularly helpful for increasing speeds with smb sharing and raid arrays used with mdadm, but may not allow you to give info on last time accessed on files
[09:21] <JoAnneThrax> m0n: Okay...would "defaults" be a good option?
[09:21] <wsagent> is there any laptop tracking software for ubuntu, to protect my laptop from being stolen
[09:21] <m0n> JoAnneThrax, sure they would be good enough :)
[09:22] <tobago> how to find out the names of bots of channel?
[09:22] <Myrtti> tobago: of this channel or a channel in general?
[09:22] <tobago> say i wanna know the name of the helping bots of #ubuntu?
[09:22] <tobago> Myrtti in general
[09:22] <Myrtti> tobago: there isn't a 100% sure way of finding out
[09:22] <tobago> Myrtti is there a command i can use?
[09:23] <Myrtti> tobago: no not really
[09:23] <JoAnneThrax> Thanks, m0n.  Brb.
[09:23] <Myrtti> tobago: other than asking the operators, and even they may not be aware of the unofficial uncommissioned bots
[09:23] <tobago> Myrtti o.k. what do you try to find the helpings bots of # when you're new to it?
[09:24] <Myrtti> tobago: me? I'm usually, by default annoyed by IRC bots, so I don't bother :-D
[09:27] <tobago> Myrtti o.k.
[09:28] <JoAnneThrax> m0n and YankDownUnder: The new driver worked.  Gracias.
[09:30] <brahmana> Hi all
[09:30] <mehmeh2> i'm on lucid, is there any way i could install natty repos? i have tried to replace one line from lucid to natty and i don't get new versions after update
[09:30] <brahmana> I am trying to cerate a bootable USB drive
[09:31] <brahmana> I created it by following the steps give here : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[09:31] <telxt> is there a possibility that sshd is installed when i run "apt-get install ssh"?
[09:31] <brahmana> However when I try to boot from it, I get a message "Boot Error"
[09:31] <llutz_> telxt: yes, ssh is a meta package to get client+server
[09:31] <brahmana> This is Lucid 10.04.1 i386 desktop image
[09:31] <brahmana> What is the problem and how can I rectify that?
[09:31] <llutz_> telxt: look at "apt-cache depends ssh"
[09:32] <brahmana> The 2GB USB drive was clean before I started the creation of bootable disk
[09:33] <ChristianAdamski> Hi, Ubuntu 11.04, Gnome 2x: new Windows opened by applications (new Firefox Windows, or Pidgin Chatwindows etc.) open not-focused, but in front of all other windows. This kind of impractically.  Could you try to boot the USB there? Just booting doesn't modify anything, so its safe
[09:43] <brahmana> Ok, let me try that on another laptop.
[09:43] <SuperLag> I'm looking at the "Character Map" to find the euro symbol, and I'm not sure where to find it.
[09:43] <brahmana> Give me a minute. I am recreating the bootable USB drive
[09:43] <SuperLag> or is there some keyboard shortcut I can use for the euro symbol?
[09:44] <ChristianAdamski> SuperLag, with a european keyboard layout, try AltGr + E
[09:44] <ChristianAdamski> € <- see :)
[09:45] <SuperLag> ChristianAdamski: I'm using the US layout. How can I do the Euro symbol with my current layout?
[09:45] <ChristianAdamski> SuperLag: although, with all the stupid things politicians are doing right now, it might not be worth the effort, to learn € now, might be historical soon
[09:46] <brahmana> ChristianAdamski: lolz...
[09:46] <ChristianAdamski> SuperLag: no clue, sorry
[09:46] <tyl> where is phpmyadmin located in ubuntu i did which phpmyadmin but it doesn't show up
[09:46] <ChristianAdamski> tyl: phpmyadmin should be available cia http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[09:46] <tyl> no inside the filesystem
[09:46] <tyl> not from the outside
[09:47] <ChristianAdamski> tyl: the actual files are somewhere in /usr/ I think
[09:47] <SuperLag> sudo find / -name phpmyadmin
[09:47] <sirfilipwork> tyl open /etc/apache/sites-available
[09:47] <ChristianAdamski> tyl: look through the apache2 config (assuming your using apache) there is a link somewhere
[09:47] <brahmana> tyl: I believe it would be under the web-server's public folder, no?
[09:47] <Chakravanti> your computer is a WMD
[09:47] <SuperLag> haha
[09:47] <Chakravanti> wcsry
[09:47] <tyl> nvm found it
[09:47] <tyl> etc foler
[09:49] <ChristianAdamski> tyl: FYI: etc/ conatins the config files of phpmyadmin only
[09:49] <tyl> i actually wanted that i need to change the time out
[09:50] <JoAnneThrax> Hi...my ubuntu seems to have lost its DNS server...can someone please remind me what to edit (and what to put there) to fix this?
[09:51] <JoAnneThrax> It happens periodically, on rare occasions.  I know not why.  Usually I just edit a particular file with an address or two (which I can't remember) for DNS servers that lets me resume browsing and such without rebooting everything...
[09:52] <llutz_> JoAnneThrax: /etc/resolv.conf but it will be overwritten by dhcp or other processes
[09:53] <intlkleinblue> Hello everyone, does anyone know a way to sync Google Reader RSS feeds with Evolution's RSS plugin?
[09:53] <JoAnneThrax> llutz: Groovy...can you suggest an entry?
[09:53] <llutz_> JoAnneThrax: if you like google, nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:53] <soulis77-SE> Ok I now know what is the problem. I have Parallels Power Panel installed and it messes up my changes. Anyone know a url with info of what the parallells messes up? or how to see it? The parallells site is not that good. I use ubuntu 10.04
[09:54] <susuna77> hi all, I'm looking for a gui  application, that can index file names on my filessystem, so I can search for filename faster. I used to use Locate32 on windows, is there something similar for linux ?
[09:54] <JoAnneThrax> llee: I've no particular love of google, but I'd consider using their nameserver...
[09:55] <JoAnneThrax> llutz: er...that was at you.
[09:55] <JoAnneThrax> llutz: any idea why the previously selected nameserver craps out once in a while?
[09:56] <llutz_> JoAnneThrax: broken dhcp-requests?
[09:57] <ChristianAdamski> susuna77: If I click on "places", the second option from the bottom is (german for) "Search for files..."
[09:58] <brahmana> ChristianAdamski: The bootable USB worked on another laptop.
[09:58] <susuna77> ChristianAdamski: I don't want to search entire filesystem everythime, i have 300k file, it takes ages. I want a proggy to index filenames on filesystem, so i can search faster
[09:58] <JoAnneThrax> llutz: I suppose that's possible...
[09:58] <brahmana> ChristianAdamski: The one on which I get "Boot Error" is a pretty old one. How do I figure out what is causing it?
[09:59] <ChristianAdamski> susuna77: I think the programm you are looking for is called "tracker"
[10:00] <Drake|> hey I have some problems getting flash player to work. running ubuntu 11.04
[10:00] <Drake|> doesnt work in eighter ff or chrome
[10:00] <ChristianAdamski> brahmana: Could you try booting from a CD-R? Just to see if that is crashing too? Just "boot error" is not that helpful
[10:00] <susuna77> ChristianAdamski: thanks, checking out
[10:01] <brahmana> ChristianAdamski: I have an old Ubuntu CD which boots up fine until the menu for install or live start comes. After that it fails with kernel panic (blinking caps-lock)
[10:02] <aum> how can i install ubuntu in usb flash device,
[10:02] <brahmana> ChristianAdamski: The scenario is that, the machine was dual boot with XP and Ubuntu. I accidentally deleted the Ubuntu partition and now grub in the MBR does not know what to boot and throws me in the rescue shell.
[10:03] <brahmana> ChristianAdamski: Since the live is CD is not good (Disck Check shows some 21 errors) I am trying the USB approach.
[10:04] <brahmana> aum: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Installing%20Ubuntu%20directly%20on%20a%20USB%20flash%20drive
[10:04] <ChristianAdamski> brahmana: did you try to install ubuntu from Windows? I'm a little bit lost here, but doens't Ubuntu somehow support that? Could you try to boot up WinXP and insert the latest Ubuntu disc and see what it offers?
[10:04] <ChristianAdamski> Drake|: 64bit Ubuntu?
[10:05] <brahmana> ChristianAdamski: Problem is I am unable to boot Windows either. The moment I turn on my computer grub loads and throws me in a rescue shell.. !!

[10:06] <SwedeMike> ChristianAdamski: it's not even beta, it's actually a real release: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer.html
[10:07] <ChristianAdamski> brahmana: Sorry, no clue, maybe "I think he's dead, Jim!" :-)
[10:08] <brahmana> :)

[10:55] <gurkee> will the update from 11.04 to the next LTS be supported?
[10:55] <joseph_> have a nice day bye !
[10:55] <SwedeMike> gurkee: via 11.10, probably.
[10:55] <Myrtti> gurkee: next version from 11.04 isn't an LTS, so direct update wont be supported
[10:55] <boairc> hi guys
[10:55] <SwedeMike> gurkee: it's always been that you can't skip releases when upgrading, unless it's from one LTS to another LTS.
[10:56] <boairc> anyone knows if it is possible to setup 2 video cards and 3 monitors in Ubuntu 11? NOT with xinerama because that produces huge CPU usage, video artifacts and poor performance.
[10:57] <gurkee> Myrtti and SwedeMike: so when now changing distributions with the aim of using the next ubuntu desktop LTS.. would you now start using 10.04 LTS?
[10:57] <SwedeMike> gurkee: why do you want to only use LTS releases?
[10:57] <Myrtti> gurkee: hard to day without knowing why you've decided to go for 11.04 in the first place if your aim was LTS
[10:57] <SwedeMike> gurkee: if you want stability and 10.04 LTS works on your HW, I'd go for 10.04 right now, yes.
[10:58] <monsterwizard> for some reason everything has gotten smaller in pidgin
[10:58] <gurkee> SwedeMike: we are a scientific working group and I think we do not want to have a major upgrade every few months
[10:58] <brightsites> How do I do this in ubuntu 'Reconfigure SELinux to allow the httpd process to connect via the port specified by the email server.'?
[10:58] <gurkee> Myrtti: I did not chose 11.04 so far :) I was just wondering what to implement _now_ with the aim to use the next LTS
[10:59] <Myrtti> gurkee: then go for 10.04
[10:59] <DERMANN> gurkee ?
[10:59] <gurkee> DERMANN, yes? :)
[10:59] <DERMANN> whats your question :-9
[10:59] <DERMANN> :-)
[11:00] <gurkee> DERMANN, sorry? what is not clear to you?
[11:00] <DERMANN> i do not read it because i was away
[11:00] <gurkee> interesting
[11:00] <DERMANN> whats your problem with ubuntu 11.04 ?
[11:00] <gurkee> DERMANN: no problem :)
[11:00] <DERMANN> hehe
[11:00] <CrazieShtuff> hey folks
[11:01] <saturn6962> Hi all, can anyone help me with a command to see what wireless drivers I have loaded currently?
[11:03] <gurkee> Myrtti and SwedeMike: thanks so far.. I am not Ubuntu-experienced so far and we will switch from SLES/D. Are modern Firefox and Thunderbird versions supported in 10.04 and is Acrobat reader (+ browser plugin) and Flash running smoothly?
[11:04] <psypher246> hello all.  I have tried kill -9 PID I have tried killing it in top, what else can I do?? If I try reboot the server remotely it gets stuck so I am completely lost as to what to do with this remotely accessed server. only way i can fix this is a hard reboot and thats not an option right now? Why does kill -9 not work??
[11:04] <gurkee> What is the "lucid-updates" repository for?
[11:07] <SwedeMike> gurkee: personally I install firefox via separate repositories, so I always have the latest one. I don't know about adcrobat reader, but PDF reader is included and is working well, flash I've never had a problem with on 32bit platforms.
[11:09] <gurkee> SwedeMike, I just tried 11.04 64bit in a VM yesterday and was very pleased that Flash/Acroread were working out-of-the-box in Firefox 5 -- so you think I can have the same experience with 10.04 if I use special repositories?
[11:09] <astraljava> gurkee: acroread can be found on partner repo, but not sure on which release. I remember it being there at least on most of them, and is on 11.04, but cannot confirm on lucid, though.
[11:09] <glebihan> psypher246, if the process is a zombie, there's nothing you can do to kill it except kill its parent (if it's not init...) or reboot
[11:09] <psypher246> glebihan: crap... thanks
[11:10] <glebihan> psypher246, you're welcomee
[11:10] <gurkee> astraljava: and it is no problem to just use e.g. natty's partner repo for 10.04?
[11:10] <shadyzgeek> i also tried 11.04 on virtual box an d was a bad experience
[11:10] <KM0201> gurkee: no, you don't want to do that
[11:10] <astraljava> gurkee: Would advice against that, because of the dependencies.
[11:11] <glebihan> psypher246, however a zombie should not cause any issue, why do you need to kill it ?
[11:11] <KM0201> gurkee: there should be a PPA for Firefox 5.0, ten just download the current version of Flash, and put it in Firefox
[11:11] <gurkee> SwedeMike: from which repo do you install most recent Firefox to 10.04?
[11:11] <astraljava> gurkee: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/acroread/acroread_9.4-1lucid1_i386.deb
[11:12] <astraljava> gurkee: So it seems to be there for lucid as well.
[11:12] <KM0201> gurkee: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/firefox-5-lands-in-firefox-stable-ppa.html          that details how to add the firefox PPA, and then install 5.0
[11:12] <psypher246> glebihan: it's a pyhton process whihc has stopped working, tried top stop and restart but it won't stop or start again. when i run a reboot now the whole server hangs and I have to hard reboot
[11:12] <lotuspsychje> !ocelot
[11:12] <gurkee> KM0201: isn't that way to install Firefox a bit dirty?
[11:12] <soulis77-SE> Anyone know how to see which files the Parallels Power Panel is using. I'm upgrading my system and modifying files for security reason but the PPP is killing me. I need to know which files that PPP is using to knwo what to be extra careful when modifying. dpkg function anyone?
[11:12] <glebihan> psypher246, what is the parent process ? is it init ?
[11:13] <gedO> Hello. Can some one tell what is JAVA 2 SDK path in ubuntu?
[11:13] <gurkee> astraljava: thanks for pointing me there
[11:13] <KM0201> gurkee: why on earth would it be "dirty" you're adding a stable PPA repository, and installing from there
[11:13] <KM0201> gurkee: thats how i'm using t-bird 5.0, and i have no problems at all w/ it.
[11:14] <gedO> Guys, does anybody knows what path is to JAVA 2 SDK in ubuntu?
[11:14] <KM0201> gurkee: if you were using a testing PPA, or a daily build PPA, then i might agree w/ you, but that repository only gets updated by mozilla upon stable release.
[11:14] <gurkee> KM020: I was just asking :-) PPA is something like user-contributed, or am I wrong?
[11:14] <gedO> where I can find that JAVA 2 SDK
[11:14] <gurkee> KM0201, ah.. I see :)
[11:14] <KM0201> gurkee: it is, but that one is supported by the mozilla team, it's safe.
[11:14] <SwedeMike> gurkee: don't know off the top of my head, I'd have to look it up and then you could do it too.
[11:15] <gurkee> KM0201, where do I get a good overview about the meanings of the repos like updates, backports, partner, PPA, ...?
[11:15] <KM0201> !repositories
[11:15] <shadyzgeek> can anybody explain to me why ma wireless keep on hanging in ubuntu
[11:15] <soulis77-SE> ged0: use the following: http://drnikki.org/node/6
[11:15] <gurkee> thanks :)
[11:15] <arunkumar413> hi, i have an dvd which contains ubuntu 11.04(live) and some other ISOs. I want to make the ISO of the Ubuntu 11.04 and use it as a repository.
[11:16] <KM0201> shadyzgeek: whats your wireless device?
[11:16] <gurkee> and one last question, although google would be fine for that, too -- I think: Is KDE 4.x avaiable and stable for 10.04?
[11:16] <shadyzgeek> it is an Atheros 9285
[11:17] <KM0201> shadyzgeek: weird, i've got that atheros device and it works flawlessly (on it now actually)
[11:17] <MonkeyMan> hello!
[11:18] <KM0201> gurkee: now that, i do't know about... don't use KDE... but i dont recall ever seeing a repo for 10.04 and kde4
[11:18] <psypher246> glebihan: yes it is init
[11:18] <glebihan> psypher246, in that case, I guess you'll have to go for a hard reboot...
[11:18] <shadyzgeek> o.k
[11:18] <gurkee> KM0201, :) thanks -- and... aeh :D is Kubuntu + gnome-desktop the same as Ubuntu + ubuntu-desktop?
[11:19] <gurkee> ah
[11:19] <KM0201> no
[11:19] <shadyzgeek> use Kde but still not helping
[11:19] <psypher246> glebihan: ok, darn, if this keeps up I have to consider a pdu to do remote reboots
[11:19] <gurkee> screwed the question up
[11:19] <hammoommah> hello peoples, i just reinstalled ubuntu 11.04 onto my new hd, is there a way to tell it to fetch updates and install my applications off old hard drive rather then re downloading?
[11:19] <szal> !info kdebase lucid | gurkee
[11:19] <KM0201> yeah, you did..lol
[11:19] <arunkumar413> hammoommah: use aptoncd
[11:19] <SwedeMike> hammoommah: you can look in /var/apt/cache on the old one and see if it has a lot of packages there, if it has, copy them to /var/apt/cache on the new hd
[11:20] <szal> ah..
[11:20] <gurkee> Version 5:55?
[11:20] <szal> !info kdebase-bin lucid | gurkee
[11:20] <glebihan> psypher246, what is that script btw ? cause the problem probably comes from it
[11:20] <MonkeyMan> Hi - I am a bit of a newbie to Linux, and was wondering if someone could help me partition my HD
[11:20] <hammoommah> nice work SwedeMike

[11:55] <eagleserver> arunkumar413, you will have to mount them

[12:02] <eagleserver> in /mnt/ do an ls - la see if the permissions are the same as the mounts you can access
[12:02] <Myrtti> groll: those are different versions of the linux kernel, you can choose one and try if they work any better than the one you're using by default (the top one, hilighted), but other than that that is perfectly normal
[12:02] <groll> !kernel
[12:03] <groll> Yeah but I had only one originally
[12:03] <groll> why did they appear ?
[12:03] <groll> (i did some suggested security updates and stuff from ubuntu)
[12:03] <Myrtti> groll: they appear if you've updated your system, security updates
[12:03] <groll> o i c
[12:04] <groll> how can i even see the differences?
[12:04] <groll> and are the differences important ?
[12:04] <arunkumar413> eagleserver: did ls in /mnt/ but couldn't get anything
[12:05] <Myrtti> groll: when it comes to different kernel versions, about the only way you personally could see any differences is if some odd hardware starts working. Otherwise they might be security updates, preventing intruders cracking into your system
[12:06] <groll> hmm and the default one is the most recent, which includes all the latest security updates i did ?
[12:06] <Myrtti> groll: yup

[12:09] <arunkumar413> eagleserver: get it to boot
[12:09] <eagleserver> arunkumar413: you should be editing your grub then not its
[12:10] <arunkumar413> eagleserver: ubuntu grub is detecting the fedora, but due to some error i made in menu.lst of fedora i'm unable to boot it
[12:11] <iceroot> arunkumar413: you can correct your error by editiing the grub-line pressing "e" on that line
[12:11] <eagleserver> arunkumar413: what he said :)
[12:13] <arunkumar413> eagleserver: i dont know what he is saying. I just want to replace the menu.lst with backup copy i saved in /home/arun folder of fedora.

[12:21] <Traintop> Hi Folks! What is the easiest way to install a zd1211rw-driver patched for packet injection on an ubuntu 11.04-64-bit-box?
[12:23] <nmaxchat> Hello. I have a question, simple for U, complicated for me. I downloaded a script which should fix a problem I have. I have no clue how to run it. I suspect pasting the whole thing on a command line is not the way to do it but can't find instructions with Google

[12:25] <raph_ael> hi i disabled network-manager to start at boot, though it comes again, where should it be tweaked ?
[12:25] <Traintop> although I downloaded the linux-source-2.6.38-package via synaptic
[12:25] <Myrtti> nmaxchat: running scripts that you do not know what they do can be dangerous...
[12:25] <Traintop> nmaxchat: try "sudo chmod ugo+c <script-file-name>
[12:26] <Traintop> nmaxchat: or even better without sudo
[12:26] <Traintop> nmaxchat: s/ugo+c/ugo+x/
[12:26] <arunkumar413> Myrtti: then why did it ask for password

[12:29] <trackerx90> hi
[12:30] <trackerx90> everybody
[12:30] <arunkumar413> eagleserver:  how to change the permissions of it then
[12:31] <Traintop> nmaxchat: in a terminal go to the place where you downloaded the script and do: chmod u+x fix.....sh
[12:31] <Traintop> nmaxchat: then you can easily do: ./fix....sh and it will execute
[12:31] <trackerx90> i have ever seen cpu monitor bar in someone video
[12:31] <nmaxchat> Traintop, OK, Gottya
[12:31] <trackerx90> i have installed ubuntu 10.04
[12:31] <trackerx90> how to find the best one for me
[12:32] <KM0201> trackerx90: a cpu monitor?.. there's system monitor, thats a panel applet, it's pretty easy.
[12:33] <KM0201> but it's pretty "bare"
[12:33] <KM0201> beyond that, you're probably wanting to look at gdesklets

[12:47] <[THC]AcidRain> i had to format the drive myself
[12:47] <[THC]AcidRain> but that was months ago
[12:47] <dr_willis> i would fsck it first. and try mounting it again
[12:47] <[THC]AcidRain> ive had it for about... 3 months

[12:48] <dr_willis> ;]
[12:48] <Myrtti> (you can use the computer, but don't try to put the harddrive on it)

[12:49] <dr_willis> use mount command to see where
[12:49] <[THC]AcidRain> .... it just mounted out of no where :/
[12:49] <[THC]AcidRain> i didnt even do anything

[12:50] <dr_willis> i would double check cables and so forth
[12:50] <Myrtti> tobago: there are exceptions :->
[12:50] <[THC]AcidRain> yeah. after a reboot, i had unplugged both of the drives, and only 1 was detected
[12:50] <[THC]AcidRain> now both are working fine
[12:50] <[THC]AcidRain> the red light appears to be gone
[12:50] <Myrtti> [THC]AcidRain: now is the time of making backups... ;-)
[12:50] <dr_willis> problem fixed.. heres your bill....  ;^)
[12:51] <tobago> how to let instantbird popup new messages like pidgin does?
[12:51] <[THC]AcidRain> Myrtti: i have like 1.5 TB of backups to make
[12:51] <[THC]AcidRain> i need another external drive
[12:51] <lotuspsychje> lol
[12:51] <dr_willis> just 1.5? ;)    i bought a 3tb for backups and its now 98%full
[12:52] <dr_willis> 3 tb over usb = lot of time to backup
[12:52] <[THC]AcidRain> lol. well 1.5TB is alot considering i have 1 working 250GB external, and 1 internal 80GB
[12:52] <[THC]AcidRain> :/
[12:52] <welshlad> hi there guys
[12:52] <Myrtti> [THC]AcidRain: I was recently in the same situation as you, with an encrypted harddrive giving out I/O errors. After keeping the harddrive on the side for a few days, I got it mounted and quickly rescued what was most important - family photos. I may use the harddrive again after reformat, but I will not trust it again
[12:52] <[THC]AcidRain> yeah, these issues started occuing last night when i moved all my music and movies over to the drive that is messing up
[12:53] <Reikoku> I just have a 4TB NAS device in RAID-5
[12:53] <gaurav_natty> i am Getting problem in ubuntu 11.04 my system is getting very slow
[12:53] <Reikoku> Moving 3TB over USB would be painful even with rsync
[12:53] <newb100> Are the C++ standard libraries automatically installed in ubuntu 10.04?
[12:53] <[THC]AcidRain> Myrtti: so your telling me i need to go to walmart as soon as possible and raise hell?
[12:53] <welshlad> I just installed linux from cd, i think it is 10.4. Im new to linux and want to know is there any other programs i need to install?
[12:53] <dr_willis> Reikoku:  it took a while. usb3 helped a lot
[12:53] <Reikoku> gaurav_natty: What's the specification of your system and what do you have open?
[12:53] <[THC]AcidRain> because once more, i have learned my lesson to NEVER buy electronics from walmart
[12:54] <Reikoku> dr_willis: I far prefer sending it over network :P
[12:54] <[THC]AcidRain> they are AGAIN!, at a 100% fail rate with me
[12:54] <szal> welshlad: there is no such thing as Linux 10.4
[12:54] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain: what brand is it
[12:54] <[THC]AcidRain> im not even sure
[12:54] <Reikoku> I bought a cheap array off a datacentre that was shutting down, dr_willis
[12:54] <Owner> szal,  you on
[12:54] <welshlad> ubuntu 10.4 i think
[12:54] <Myrtti> [THC]AcidRain: not necessarily to raise hell, but make sure you've got backups of the most important things somewhere
[12:54] <tobago> anybody uses instantbird?
[12:54] <szal> welshlad: it's either Ubuntu 10.04, or something else ;)
[12:54] <[THC]AcidRain> its a My Passport
[12:54] <szal> Owner: obviously ;)
[12:54] <Myrtti> [THC]AcidRain: after *that* you can go raise hell.
[12:55] <welshlad> Szal yes hehe
[12:55] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  so it has nothing to do with walmart.. hds are the weakest link these days..
[12:55] <[THC]AcidRain> dr_willis: so what would you suggest? i need a good hdd that wont fail on me
[12:55] <Owner> you remember how last night I forgot my username? Well I found it and everytime I type it in it goes to a black screen and bring me back to the login screen
[12:55] <lotuspsychje> ==>likes ssd drives
[12:55] <dr_willis> buy ones with the best warrenty
[12:55] <Reikoku> gaurav_natty: Long story short, Ubuntu installs a bunch of stuff that you don't need, if your system can't deal with it all just uninstall the bloatware and install a more resource-friendly desktop/set of apps
[12:55] <[THC]AcidRain> grrr
[12:55] <newb100> Are the C++ standard libraries automatically installed in ubuntu 10.04?
[12:55] <Reikoku> Owner: Can you login as root?
[12:56] <szal> Reikoku: there is no root login
[12:56] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  they can all die.. without warning
[12:56] <Owner> how do I do that
[12:56] <szal> Reikoku: at least not by default
[12:56] <[THC]AcidRain> i didnt buy the warranty on this one. but even at that man.... so what. i just get my money back and a new drive, but lose all my files?
[12:56] <[THC]AcidRain> this is a horrible sick twisted worled we live in. sick i tell you!
[12:56] <eagleserver> lotuspsychje: hey did ssd install ok etc no issues ? just out of curiosity
[12:56] <gaurav_natty> Specification of my system is good daulcore processor 2.4 GHz and 3 gb ram i not oopen anything after booting it take an hour to work properly i removed many thing changed the startup application .
[12:56] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  the hd makers warrenty. not one from walmart
[12:56] <sipior> newb100: should be. if not, install libstdc++6 and libstdc++6-?.?-dev
[12:56] <Reikoku> Owner: I assume go to a tty, su -, passwd
[12:56] <Reikoku> Hmm actually
[12:56] <Reikoku> Can you login to a tty?
[12:57] <gaurav_natty> Reikoku, Specification of my system is good daulcore processor 2.4 GHz and 3 gb ram i not oopen anything after booting it take an hour to work properly i removed many thing changed the startup application .
[12:57] <Reikoku> szal: Ahh, been a long time since I used Ubuntu :P

[12:57] <cutiyar> how to create toorent file from download link?
[12:57] <szal> Reikoku: logging into tty will help him exactly how?
[12:57] <[THC]AcidRain> i think my next drive is going to be one just like that
[12:57] <Reikoku> gaurav_natty: Ouch, yeah that spec should run Ubuntu flawlessly
[12:57] <Owner> it is not letting me login to su
[12:57] <Reikoku> szal: If he can log in at tty but not X, the issue isn't with login
[12:57] <[THC]AcidRain> well my drive mounted. but it mounted at Server2__ instead of Server2
[12:57] <eagleserver> lotuspsychje: yeh im sure its running like a dream with ssd, im getting an upgrade soon going dual ssd (raid) should be nice
[12:58] <Reikoku> Owner: Press ctrl-alt-f2 and try logging in there with your username & password
[12:58] <dr_willis> cutiyar:  that dosent make sence. but most torrent cients can make a torrent file
[12:58] <szal> Reikoku: it most probably isn't
[12:58] <welshlad> so is there any other programs i need to install as i just installed 10.4?
[12:58] <Owner> I'm in
[12:58] <lotuspsychje> eagleserver: sounds nice upgrade :p any idea what brand to choose?
[12:58] <Reikoku> szal: Also if he can login at tty, it means he doesn't have to chroot in to fix the problem
[12:58] <cutiyar> dr_willis, how to create it
[12:58] <dr_willis> welshlad:  its 10.04 ;)
[12:58] <szal> welshlad: anything you wish
[12:58] <gaurav_natty> Reikoku, What Specification do i need
[12:58] <Reikoku> Owner: So the issue appears to be with your X packages
[12:58] <[THC]AcidRain> can someone tell me how to change the mount path again?
[12:58] <dr_willis> cutiyar:  check your clients menus and docs
[12:59] <welshlad> ok 10.04 then hehe?
[12:59] <Reikoku> gaurav_natty: Yours should run Ubuntu fine, the only things I can think of are a full HDD or faulty RAM
[12:59] <Owner> is there a way to fix this
[12:59] <newb100> Im trying to write a simple compute game in c, can anoyone recomend some simple open source to have a look at, I am aiming for a sodoku game
[12:59] <lotuspsychje> [THC]AcidRain:try installing pysdm and gparted for drive probs
[12:59] <eagleserver> eagleserver: not yet waiting on the tax return :) then do some research, i know there are big differnces between them, research is a must with it.
[12:59] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  it automounted to the label of the drive. it added the _ because the dir was not removed when it last unmounted
[12:59] <aikInsaan> hey
[12:59] <Owner> what the, evidently that fixed it
[12:59] <blackdivine> can anyone help me setup my xorg.conf please???
[12:59] <aikInsaan> whats the quickest way to undo an update?

[13:01] <eagleserver> aikInsaan: is this your pc?
[13:01] <aikInsaan> yeah
[13:01] <Monotoko> aikInsaan, I would download live 11.04 and try to run that
[13:02] <Monotoko> it could be the update that's borked...using the live version will show you

[13:02] <eagleserver> aikInsaan: may have picked wrong one.
[13:02] <aikInsaan> eagleserver: how do I get that?
[13:02] <eagleserver> google search for your vid card?
[13:02] <Reikoku> aikInsaan: Is the issue only persistant in Unity/X?
[13:02] <Reikoku> This just looks like your resolution is too low and it's trying to duplicate across
[13:03] <aikInsaan> Reikoku: it was working fine on 10.10...if that's what you mean?
[13:03] <gaurav_natty> Reikoku, how i know which graphics card i am using
[13:03] <welshlad> can anyone help? cant find my dvd drive in a new install of 10.04
[13:03] <szal> !google | eagleserver
[13:03] <Monotoko> aikInsaan, he means if you press ctrl+alt+f1...what is it like, does it take up the full screen?
[13:03] <Reikoku> aikInsaan: What video card do you have?
[13:04] <Reikoku> If you don't know, do lspci and look for 'VGA compatible controller'
[13:04] <szal> gaurav_natty: lspci | grep -i vga
[13:04] <Reikoku> gaurav_natty: lspci in a console
[13:04] <Reikoku> Look for a VGA compatible controller
[13:04] <Reikoku> or that

[13:05] <gaurav_natty> Reikoku, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[13:05] <eagleserver> aikInsaan: pick linux obviously
[13:05] <aikInsaan> Monotoko: ctrl+alt+f1 is still the same
[13:05] <[THC]AcidRain> see, that red light goes crazy when i try to move files around on that drive
[13:05] <szal> gaurav_natty: nothing you can do about it; Intel gfx drivers are in the kernel
[13:05] <[THC]AcidRain> im scared
[13:05] <[THC]AcidRain> lol
[13:06] <rene_> hi there
[13:06] <raph_ael> hi what could start networkmanager at boot, if it is disabled in upstart ?
[13:06] <HackerII> [THC]AcidRain  back off the thc
[13:06] <gaurav_natty> szal, my system will work like this
[13:06] <Traintop> [THC]AcidRain: perhaps this red light indicates harddrive-activity... ;->
[13:06] <welshlad> can anyone help? cant find my dvd drive in a new install of 10.04. what can i do please as im new to linux
[13:06] <FaTHeRBaDTouCH> Q: How can I delete .pulse without it coming back three seconds later?
[13:06] <Reikoku> gaurav_natty: Only thing I can think of is the desktop doesn't like the Intel onboard graphics
[13:06] <Monotoko> aikInsaan..hmm..sounds like more then X then, I would try to download 11.04 and run it from the disk, see if that is any better#
[13:06] <[THC]AcidRain> Traintop: if that was true, why wouldnt it do it on my other ddrive?
[13:07] <aikInsaan> Reikoku: i have intel 845gl
[13:07] <[THC]AcidRain> besides, its moving at max of 5.8mb/sec right now...
[13:07] <Monotoko> *than
[13:07] <rene_> i've some trouble booting my system. i've switched my hd controllermode from ide to ahci
[13:07] <[THC]AcidRain> when it should be moving around 30mb/sec
[13:07] <Reikoku> aikInsaan: Do xrandr -q and put the output on http://www.paste2.org
[13:07] <aikInsaan> Monotoko: yeah, i think i'll give it a go now
[13:07] <Traintop> [THC]AcidRain: just guessing... :-)
[13:07] <rene_> at boot the system hangs even if i plug in a usb stick.
[13:08] <Reikoku> rene_: The last time I had that issue it seemed to be because I was using a bad motherboard

[13:12] <Monotoko> rene_, it will reset your motherboard, time, settings everything
[13:12] <danusia> will u help me?
[13:12] <Reikoku> blackdivine: What's your normal resolution?
[13:12] <aikInsaan> Reikoku: here's the output from xrandr -q: paste2.org/p/1526571
[13:12] <Reikoku> Also can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:12] <rene_> Monotoko: and what has it to do with the hang on boot?
[13:12] <danusia> after hibernation my cursor disappears!
[13:12] <blackdivine> Reikoku, you mean optimal? its 1360 x 768
[13:13] <root____> hi
[13:13] <Reikoku> aikInsaan: Looks like your xorg.conf is set up wrong
[13:13] <blackdivine> root____, hello
[13:13] <Reikoku> blackdivine: OK, what video driver are you using? intel or vesa?
[13:13] <Owner> szal,

[13:13] <Reikoku> danusia: Stop spamming :P
[13:14] <danusia> please help
[13:14] <blackdivine> Reikoku, I didn't mess up with defaults, I'm not sure. I guess Intel, how to check?

[13:14] <Reikoku> I needto register with Ubuntu forums :P
[13:14] <Reikoku> blackdivine: Look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:14] <Reikoku> If you can't read it just pastebin it
[13:14] <blackdivine> Reikoku, I just want to tell my Xorg to go with the optimal resolution which is 1360 x 768, i tried "sudo Xorg -configure" but it gives some error
[13:15] <Reikoku> blackdivine: What's the error?
[13:15] <danusia> don't know how to fix it
[13:15] <blackdivine> Reikoku, it's not generated. Not there. In recent systems it's nor required, but if you are having problems, you can manually generate it and set resolution in it which you want to use. That's what I am trying to do
[13:15] <aikInsaan> Reikoku: how do i fix my xorg.conf then?
[13:16] <blackdivine> Reikoku, to give you exact error i have to stop gdm and try reconfigure again, should i go then? i'll be back
[13:16] <Reikoku> Do sudo Xorg -configure |&2> ~/xorglog blackdivine
[13:16] <aikInsaan> Reikoku: actually, first where is xorg.conf kept?
[13:16] <Reikoku> aikInsaan: /etc/X11

[13:17] <Reikoku> karthick87: Write a new CD with a new image
[13:17] <Monotoko> danusia, probably...there are a few problems with hibernation, never use it myself...does it do the same on Standby?
[13:17] <blackdivine> Reikoku, did it, no output
[13:17] <karthick87> Reikoku: where i have to place the new image?
[13:18] <danusia> no, only hibenation
[13:18] <Reikoku> blackdivine: Yeah pastebin the file at /home/yourusername/xorglog
[13:18] <danusia> I really likexubuntu, but this is really......
[13:18] <danusia> strange poblem
[13:18] <danusia> problem I men
[13:18] <danusia> mean
[13:18] <Reikoku> danusia: Hibernation is awkward in general on unix-like OS's :>
[13:19] <Reikoku> :<*
[13:19] <Monotoko> danusia, just use standby instead? These days standby doesn't use much power at all
[13:19] <danusia> ok, thank you for your help. I will be going. Bye!
[13:19] <Monotoko> Reikoku, seconded...I haven't ever got it to work on my 3 computers >.>
[13:19] <danusia> oh, really?
[13:19] <danusia> ok, I will
[13:19] <Reikoku> Monotoko: It works on my Macbook Pro
[13:20] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:20] <danusia> wow! You really are an expert!
[13:20] <Reikoku> But that's the only laptop I've had fully functioning standby on
[13:20] <Reikoku> And I had to mess with some code to get it to
[13:20] <danusia> my friend!
[13:20] <blackdivine> Reikoku, "Server is already active for display 0" I have to stop GDM it will not generate log this way. Wait i'll be back.
[13:20] <danusia> will you marry me?!
[13:20] <danusia> I think I love you!
[13:20] <h00k> !ot | danusia
[13:20] <Reikoku> lol danusia I'm not an expert :/
[13:20] <Monotoko> Reikoku, I need a mac >.>
[13:21] <danusia> but will you marry me?
[13:21] <kiichiro>  I am wanting my computer to autologin. I am at the login screen settings but it will not allow me to choose myself to autologin, how do I fix this
[13:21] <Reikoku> Monotoko: You don't, trust me
[13:21] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm
[13:21] <Reikoku> I wouldnt have mine if it weren't for being an iOS developer :P
[13:21] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i make a drive mount at a certain location everytime?
[13:21] <danusia> I am 27 years old, have long legs, blond hair and beautiful blue eyes
[13:21] <karthick87> Reikoku: ??
[13:21] <h00k> danusia: please keep conversation on topic,please
[13:21] <Monotoko> Reikoku, I have always wanted to start iOS development...even tried to get a VM going but without much success :P
[13:22] <Reikoku> karthick87: I write applications for iPhone/iPad so I need the mac environment to compile
[13:22] <Reikoku> Monotoko: I used to have Xcode 3 working on hackintosh
[13:22] <danusia> so your answer is....
[13:22] <[THC]AcidRain> sudo mount /dev/sdg1 /media/Server2
[13:22] <Reikoku> But 4 flat-out refused
[13:22] <eagleserver> [THC]AcidRain: make a link
[13:22] <[THC]AcidRain> i can run this. but on next boot, it mounts at Server2__
[13:22] <danusia> ok
[13:22] <Reikoku> danusia: Sorry, I'm married :P
[13:22] <danusia> I understand
[13:22] <[THC]AcidRain> ive already made the link
[13:22] <danusia> Bye!
[13:23] <Reikoku> Monotoko: Objective C is pretty nice to write
[13:23] <eagleserver> a link to the mount ponit?
[13:23] <[THC]AcidRain> eagleserver: yes sir
[13:23] <[THC]AcidRain> it seems to be creating its own links though
[13:23] <[THC]AcidRain> i configured this about 2 months ago
[13:23] <[THC]AcidRain> and im looking at it now in computer:///
[13:23] <[THC]AcidRain> it creates Server2_ and Server2__
[13:24] <aiyoraju> hi  got a question"""can i have a duel boot os but one as the default i.e untill i press a button during start up os option should not pop up
[13:24] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i associate the drive with the link?
[13:24] <Monotoko> aiyoraju, you can...there is an option in GRUB
[13:24] <Monotoko> aiyoraju, let me see if I can find it...
[13:25] <Traintop> aiyoraju: monotoko was faster... -d'oh!
[13:25] <eagleserver> [THC]AcidRain: man link
[13:25] <Monotoko> aiyoraju: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#/etc/default/grub (file)
[13:25] <aiyoraju> @monotoko thanks
[13:25] <Monotoko> Traintop: ;)
[13:25] <aguitel> what package need to install to add printer ?
[13:26] <Reikoku> cups usually, but I think its in base
[13:26] <Traintop> I want to compile a driver which is in the main-kernel; can I only do "make modules" or can I somehow specify to only compile one module or perhapd only all wireless-modules?
[13:26] <Traintop> s/perhapd/perhaps/
[13:26] <roasted> in Ubuntu 10.10, if you're running a DHCP server, where's the file at? I'm having a brain fart finding it and dhcpd.conf isn't where it's at.
[13:27] <Reikoku> Traintop: Is the module already compiled but not inserted, or does it need to be switched on?
[13:27] <Reikoku> in the kernel?
[13:27] <blackdivine> Reikoku, For some reason I can't dump output of "Xorg -configure" to a text file with >, but the error is "Number of configured devices is greater than connected devices. Configuration failed..."
[13:27] <aiyoraju> @monotoko if i install ubunto and windows 7 and want windows 7 to start without input will it work(sorry m new to computers)
[13:27] <Monotoko> roasted: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
[13:27] <Reikoku> blackdivine: Hmm, I have no idea :S - try #xorg, sorry
[13:27] <Reikoku> They should be able to help
[13:28] <Traintop> reikoku: it is not yet compiled... -but I only want zd1211rw to be compiled not all modules; but doind "make modules" takes hours... so can I somehow specify to only compile zd1211rw?
[13:28] <blackdivine> Reikoku, ok thanks for your help mate :)
[13:28] <usrx> ukpg=ver
[13:28] <usrx> ,teia<>�oog/oi/�g(7HU<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[13:28] <usrx> |
[13:28] <roasted> Monotoko, ahh I JUST found it. No it's not dhcpd.conf in my case. I'm running an LTSP thin client server, I forgot it's in /etc/ltsp not /etc/dhcp3. thanks though!
[13:28] <Monotoko> aiyoraju, you will need to make Windows 7 your default (not quite sure how as I don't have a ubuntu computer close at the moment, but you can probably find out) then modify the hidden grub settings
[13:28] <Reikoku> Traintop: gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c module.c
[13:28] <Reikoku> I believe
[13:28] <[THC]AcidRain> link: cannot create link `/media/Server2' to `/dev/sdh1': Invalid cross-device link
[13:29] <Traintop> Reikoku: I assume cd'ing to drivers/net/wireless/zd1211 before and just issuing this command?
[13:29] <Reikoku> Traintop: But realise that your module may have modular dependencies within the kernel
[13:29] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  i think you are confused about what you are doing
[13:29] <Reikoku> Traintop: Correct
[13:29] <Traintop> trying...
[13:29] <[THC]AcidRain> im trying to make this 1 drive mount at the same location everytime
[13:29] <[THC]AcidRain> i delt with this a while ago. but i forgot
[13:30] <Monotoko> [THC]AcidRain...you probably want /etc/fstab
[13:30] <eagleserver> [THC]AcidRain: the link should be /mnt/mountname /otherdrive
[13:30] <Reikoku> [THC]AcidRain: Look in /etc/fstab
[13:30] <dr_willis> [THC]AcidRain:  make a fstab    entry for it.
[13:30] <blackdivine> Reikoku, lol there are less than 50 people there :P and all silent
[13:31] <brahmana> Hi all
[13:31] <dr_willis> or if its automounting. make sure no dirs with thr same lable name exist in /media/
[13:31] <brahmana> I burnt a 10.04 iso on to a CD and tried booting it on a fairly old laptop
[13:32] <Reikoku> blackdivine: Only other thing I can suggest is searching the Ubuntu forum, I can't because I'm not registered :P
[13:32] <brahmana> It boots until I see the five blinking dots and then after some time the screen just goes blank..
[13:32] <blackdivine> Hello, I generated a modeline with cvt, can anyone tell me how to insert it to my VGA section in "xrandr"?
[13:32] <Traintop> Reikoku: your command exits with: "zd_chip.c:28:24: fatal error: linux/slab.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
[13:32] <Traintop> compilation terminated."
[13:32] <brahmana> Nothing comes up even after some 15-20 minutes.
[13:32] <Monotoko> brahmana, how old is that laptop?
[13:32] <brahmana> 2003 I believe
[13:32] <Reikoku> Traintop: Sorry, what's that in English?
[13:32] <Traintop> Reikoku: but build-essentials and linux-headers are installed
[13:32] <blackdivine> Reikoku, lol you should, and I already have a thread there and searched for 2,3 days. The solution is there, it is to use HDMI cable, but I want it to work on VGA :P
[13:32] <Traintop> "file or directory not found compilation terminated"
[13:32] <Reikoku> blackdivine: VGA cable can handle your resolution
[13:33] <brahmana> Monotoko: I am not entirely sure. It is definitely older than 2006
[13:33] <Monotoko> brahmana, it probably won't run Ubuntu 10.04...take a look at xubuntu though
[13:33] <Monotoko> it is designed for older computers
[13:33] <Reikoku> Traintop: It seems like it's looking for a dependency
[13:33] <brahmana> Monotoko: How about 8.04 - hardy heron?
[13:33] <Reikoku> I suggest either looking for a pre built module or rebuilding the kernel overnight
[13:33] <blackdivine> Reikoku, It can ofcourse, but the new Ubuntu doesn't do a good job on guessing the optimal resolutions on VGA cable, that;s what i read
[13:33] <szal> brahmana: 8.04 is dead in the meantime
[13:34] <Monotoko> brahmana, perhaps..but I believe it is at end-of-life now
[13:34] <iceroot> blackdivine: lubuntu if you are slow at performance
[13:34] <dr_willis> !eol
[13:34] <szal> brahmana: and on the desktop it has been for 2 years already
[13:34] <Reikoku> Monotoko: Ubuntu 10.04 should run on a 2003 laptop :S
[13:34] <Traintop> some few days ago I read a make-command something like make modules SUBDIR=drivers/net/... -but I am not sure and do not find it again... -does this sound familiar to anyone?
[13:34] <brahmana> szal, Monotoko - End of life should be ok. If I can boot some linux I will be good to go
[13:34] <acicula> Traintop: its missing an include file, id guess slab.h is part of the linux kernel headers
[13:34] <[THC]AcidRain>  so in fstab i will do...
[13:35] <[THC]AcidRain>  /dev/sdh1 /media/Server2 ext3 defaults,user,rw 0 0
[13:35] <szal> brahmana: try pressing F6 on CD boot & issuing "edd=on"
[13:35] <blackdivine> iceroot, LOL no, I have i3 and 4gb ram, just want bigger resolution so lines don't wrap on my VIM :P
[13:35] <Traintop> acicula: I did this in the extracted kernel-tree... :-)
[13:35] <Monotoko> Reikoku, not well I suspect... brahmana, you may want to try DSL or some other "small" distribution
[13:35] <Reikoku> [THC]AcidRain: What's in there now?
[13:35] <szal> brahmana: (toggle option w/ space bar)
[13:35] <Reikoku> Also you have to edit it as root (sudo)
[13:35] <szal> brahmana: and "nomodeset" too, for that matter
[13:35] <iceroot> blackdivine: ah wrong nick :)
[13:35] <blackdivine> haha ok :)
[13:36] <Reikoku> Monotoko: Isn't Ubuntu 10.04 gnome3 based?
[13:36] <[THC]AcidRain> Reikoku: the link to a non existant floppy drive and. my cd rom
[13:36] <brahmana> szal: Hang.. let me do that right away before I lose you.. :)
[13:36] <welshlad> well guys do i stick with 10.04 or get the newer version?
[13:36] <Monotoko> Reikoku, no it's Gnome2
[13:36] <[THC]AcidRain> but. my other drive has been mounting in the same location for years now
[13:36] <Traintop> damn it -I'll wait some time to let make compile all modules... :-(
[13:36] <blabla> from linux). Do I have to add windows to grub or something ?
[13:36] <[THC]AcidRain> why is this drive wanting to do what i have not set it to do?
[13:36] <Reikoku> Monotoko: gnome2 will run on 03 hardware
[13:36] <brahmana> szal, Monotoko -- fwiw, it did actually boot a 9.10 cd but ended up throwing Bus Error so I couldn't do anything useful.
[13:36] <Reikoku> I have gnome2 running on 1999 hardware :P
[13:36] <[THC]AcidRain> cause everyone here had helped me before, showed me a different way to mount the drive
[13:37] <Monotoko> Reikoku, it all depends...it sounds like 10.04 doesn't know or support his video card
[13:37] <acicula> Traintop: unless you tell it where to find the include files ti will just lookin in the default include directories. just unpacking kernel source somewhere will not do that. though if you are building a module within the kernel tree itself that shouldnt be an issue
[13:37] <blabla> Hi. I'm a windows user and installed ubuntu on an ext4 partition. Now grub doesn't see windows at boot anymore. What went wrong ?
[13:37] <Reikoku> He probably needs the alternate install CD
[13:37] <Reikoku> The curses-based one
[13:37] <Reikoku> blabla: Did you delete your Windows partition?
[13:37] <brahmana> Reikoku: Can I download alternate install CD by http? i.e without torrents?
[13:37] <blackdivine> blabla, Are you sure you didn't installed Ubuntu over windows partition? because if you didn't grub does a good job on detecting and listing windows so you can boot
[13:37] <blabla> Reikoku: I can still see the files from dolphin
[13:38] <[THC]AcidRain> the drive keeps changing its device name
[13:38] <Monotoko> Reikoku, perhaps...but xubuntu may support it better as it is designed for older computers
[13:38] <aiyoraju> exit
[13:38] <Reikoku> brahmana: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso
[13:39] <Reikoku> Monotoko: Yeah he'd probably be better with xubuntu
[13:39] <Reikoku> But he could just install ubuntu then install xfce
[13:39] <Traintop> acicula: the error came from a gcc-command for compiling a kernel-module; now I just did "make modules_prepare; make modules"... -it compiles EVERY module now, but it seems I have to wait that long for zd1211rw :-)
[13:39] <Monotoko> Reikoku, perhaps..but rather than going the long way around, he might as well just install xubuntu? http://www.xubuntu.org/
[13:39] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm
[13:39] <[THC]AcidRain> Reikoku: it appears to be working
[13:39] <Reikoku> Traintop: Most modules have several dependencies
[13:40] <blackdivine> blabla, whats dolphin?
[13:40] <Traintop> Reikoku: which means?
[13:40] <Reikoku> Monotoko: I haven't used xubuntu, I don't know its nuances
[13:40] <[THC]AcidRain> fail
[13:40] <Reikoku> If it's anything like kubuntu I wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft bargepole :P
[13:40] <blabla> blackdivine: well i defined /dev/sda5 as / and /dev/sda1 as nothing
[13:40] <Reikoku> Traintop: It means your module can't install without compiling other ones it depends on
[13:40] <Monotoko> Reikoku, it isn't..I've used it to bring ancient computers back to life a lot :P
[13:41] <Reikoku> Like when you apt-get something and it gets 30 software packages :P
[13:41] <blabla> with /sda1 being my windows
[13:41] <Reikoku> Monotoko: I haven't used LINUX for a while, tbh :P
[13:41] <Traintop> but doing make modules_prepare should do the trick, shouldn't it?
[13:41] <arcaos> hello good people, I need if possible some orientation with the sound system on a 11.04 install
[13:41] <Monotoko> it's a life saver for a quick fix...and it is designed to be light :P
[13:41] <Reikoku> blabla: Go into a terminal and do fdisk -l /dev/sda
[13:41] <Reikoku> Monotoko: I have a dual-architecture purpose built rescue USB for Linux which I always carry
[13:41] <Reikoku> A lot of friends use it :P
[13:41] <arcaos> haven't found anything I can understand in the forums and am hoping to have a bit more luck here
[13:41] <szal> Reikoku: if you don't even use Linux, then be the heck quiet about different desktops :P
[13:42] <Reikoku> I'm mostly on the BSDs now :P
[13:42] <Reikoku> szal: I use different desktops :P
[13:42] <Reikoku> I'm running NetBSD on most of my boxes
[13:42] <Monotoko> szal..I should have just said that in the first place I think :P
[13:42] <blabla> Reikoku: it says it cannot open the disk
[13:42] <Reikoku> blabla: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[13:42] <blackdivine> blabla, if you are running ubuntu now, you should see the drives on left panel if you are in your home, click on them and identify your windows drive, is it there?
[13:43] <szal> Monotoko: XFCE is far from light any longer, as I understand it
[13:43] <Reikoku> szal: It's a lot lighter than gnome/kde/unity :P
[13:43] <pupuserf0be20> hi guys i need help with my home directory
[13:43] <Monotoko> szal, I think the recent one isn't very light...but 10.04 does the job quite nicelty
[13:43] <blabla> blackdivine: yes
[13:43] <Monotoko> *nicely
[13:43] <arcaos> I have no sound coming out of my system, it used to work before but now I don't even hear the initial drums, then the sound icon appears in the system tray but there are no volume bars and no application has sound. Anybody here experiences something like it?
[13:43] <brahmana> Monotoko, szal, Reikoku -- Would the laptop being old have anything to do with it throwing up "Boot Error" (Just that nothing else) when I tired booting with USB earlier (before I tried a CD)?
[13:44] <blackdivine> blabla, and you dont see it in grub right?
[13:44] <pupuserf0be20> "it does not appear to exist" and it does =O
[13:44] <blabla> blackdivine: no
[13:44] <Reikoku> brahmana: It might not be able to boot from USB
[13:44]  * szal remembers XFCE 3, which would start up in <5 secs from a Knoppix CD on a 1.7 GHz single-core CPU
[13:44] <Monotoko> brahmana, anything pre-2006 generally can't boot from USB#
[13:44] <brahmana> Oh.. !
[13:44] <blackdivine> blabla, ok open terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and run "sudo apt-get purge grub-pc)
[13:44] <Reikoku> szal: You mean the whole OS booted in 5 secs or xfce did? :P
[13:45] <szal> Reikoku: the XFCE desktop
[13:45] <pokoko222> what do i need to work with opengl in ubuntu?
[13:45] <blackdivine> blabla and then in the same terminal, run "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" and paste the output at http://pastebin.pk/
[13:45] <brahmana> Reikoku, Monotoko : There is an option for temporary order selection on the laptop and that lists the USB drive (as a USB HDD) only when it is plugged in..
[13:45] <Reikoku> From startx my xfce4 boots in around 3 on a Celeron E3200
[13:45] <Traintop> pkoko222: do your mean running applications or developing them?
[13:45] <brahmana> And the bios has both USB HDD and USB FDD options for boot order selection
[13:46] <Internetpc> HI....Where can I Suggest name for future version of ubuntu ?
[13:46] <pokoko222> Traintop develop
[13:46] <kiichiro> on xubuntu how do I make it so it automatically logs me in?
[13:46] <Monotoko> brahmana, pre-2006 they could boot from certain USB HDD's, not flash drives though
[13:46] <pupuserf0be20> can anyone hlep me?
[13:47] <Reikoku> kiichiro: Does it use xdm?
 : abt what ?
[13:47] <brahmana> Monotoko: oh.. I see..
[13:47] <Monotoko> pupuserf0be20, what's wrong? Sorry I missed your message
[13:48] <Monotoko> this place moves too fast at times >.>
[13:48] <pupuserf0be20> "my home directory does not appear to exist", i got that message after my desktop froze and i had to force shutdown...
[13:48] <Traintop> pokoko222: I always used synaptic to install libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev, this installs all every other dev-packages...
[13:48] <pupuserf0be20> when i tried to log in
[13:48] <Monotoko> pupuserf0be20, is that when you login?
[13:48] <pokoko222> Traintop that is all i need?
[13:48] <pupuserf0be20> it worked just fine before
[13:48] <Monotoko> pupuserf0be20, switch to a console (ctrl+alt+f1) and try to login
[13:48] <blackdivine> blabla, any progress?
[13:49] <blabla> blackdivine: I think it did it : http://pastebin.pk/775
[13:49] <Traintop> pokoko222: this is one of the libs you need to have: the others are all dependant and are installed alongside
[13:49] <Reikoku> kiichiro: I cant remember if xubuntu uses gdm or xdm, if it's gdm it's in sudo gdmsetup
[13:49] <blabla> blackdivine: the longest part was having the site respond the url :P
[13:49] <Monotoko> pupuserf0be20, it sounds like your home directory has corrupted when you force rebooted
[13:49] <pokoko222> Traintop thank you
[13:49] <blackdivine> blabla, yes "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1" that marks your success, congrats :)
[13:49] <Genghiz> what do I google for when I want synaptic/ package manager to pop-up saying "so and so" program not installed , do you wanna install from package manager ?
[13:49] <Genghiz> from python ?
[13:49] <blabla> blackdivine: I think I should reboot to try at this point, thank you for your help :)
[13:50] <Traintop> pokoko222: do not use *swx* ; it's software-rendering
[13:50] <blackdivine> blabla, yeah go ahead, no problem, give and get :)
[13:50] <Traintop> pokoko222: use libgl1-mesa-dev
[13:50] <dcorking> are there rogue updates in my update stream? they attempt to replace apt on the grounds of a package validation bug, but the bug in the changelog returns a 'page not found' at https://launchpad.net/bugs/784473 :(
[13:50] <Monotoko> pupuserf0be20, can I PM you? This place is moving way to fast for me to give effective help
[13:50] <pupuserf0be20> PM me? where?
[13:50] <Monotoko> on here...hold on
[13:50] <Monotoko> pupuserf0be20, I sent you a message
[13:51] <pokoko222> Traintop ah i saw that and installed swx it automatically uninstalled libgl1-mesa-dev ok will do it agai
[13:51]  * Dreamscape[A] is now away - Reason : Auto-Away (Away from Keyboard)
[13:51] <roadfish> I can set position of wma files but NOT mp3 files. How do I get amarok to position mp3 files?
[13:51] <szal> dcorking: there you have it..  smells like a rootkit or something
[13:52] <szal> dcorking: other than that, at what occasion is apt trying to be replaced?
[13:52] <Reikoku> Smells nasty
[13:52] <dcorking> szal, thanks. seems a bit blatant - hiding in plain sight by mentioning pkg vaslidation in the changelog
[13:52] <dcorking> szal, comes in update-manager
[13:53] <szal> dcorking: friggin' GUI stuff..  does it also come up on the terminal?
[13:53] <Reikoku> I don't trust my guis :P
[13:53] <Reikoku> They hide too much output
[13:54] <pokoko222> Traintop which header do you then include to work with opengl, and which libraries you link to
[13:54] <Traintop> pokoko222: just a moment
[13:55] <Traintop> have to boot up another machine... :-(
[13:56] <szal> some mirrors are bloody slow to send headers, slowing cache update down.. -> Fetched 72 B in 52s (1 B/s)
[13:56] <pokoko222> Traintop i would be very greatful, i can wait
[13:57] <dcorking> szal - a search on launchpad shows up a bzr braanch with the same puzzling changelog: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/natty/apt/natty-security/revision/141
[13:58] <Traintop> pokoko222: try this file http://paste.ubuntu.com/646531/
[13:58] <Traintop> it's a simple window with a spinning cube: compile with "gcc cube.cpp -o cube -lGL -lGLU -lglut"
[13:58] <vk4akp> Hi guys.
[13:59] <vk4akp> Anyone know the URL to download the White version of Ubuntu?
[13:59] <pokoko222> Traintop i am in netbeans
[13:59] <kiichiro> xubuntu uses I believe the xdm
[14:00] <pokoko222> pokoko222 wow nice file i can take it from here, thank you so much :)
[14:00] <vk4akp> I'm after the release that doesn'have the Nigerian RootKit installed.
[14:00] <brahmana> szal: I just tried the "edd=on" and "nomodeset" and the behavior is still the same.
[14:00] <Traintop> pokoko222: try this one on the terminal; if it works you can try getting it to run in netbeans; but I prefer emacs and terminal :-)
[14:00] <dgandhi360> Greetings all, I was wondering if there is a way to get gnome-terminal to zoom-in when called instead of requiring menu/hotkeys.
[14:01] <brahmana> szal: The CD drive just goes dead silent a little while after the blinking dots screen (which otherwise is pretty noisy)
[14:01] <szal> dcorking: what's the final pkg version of the apt pkg to be installed?
[14:01] <szal> brahmana: does it ever get past the dots?
[14:02] <acicula> Traintop: you can compile individual modules as long as the source tree is configured and prepared, think you can use make M=path/to/module/directory
[14:02] <dcorking> I know it is standard for the security team to hide launchpad bugs until the fix is available, but is 784473 supposed to remain hidden "page not found" ?
[14:02] <Reikoku> Isn't there a way to hide the dots and see the bootup under it?
[14:02] <brahmana> szal: I have tried only two scenarios - the default and with your suggestion - and in both cases a little while after the dots the screen goes blank and no key press does anything
[14:02] <szal> Reikoku: press Esc when booting
[14:02] <Traintop> acicula: thanks :-) "make oldconfig;make modules_prepare;make modules" is still running, but after it finishes I'll try your suggestion
[14:03] <Reikoku> brahmana: Try that
[14:03] <kiichiro> Reikoku, xubuntu uses the xdm I believe
[14:03] <acicula> Reikoku: think alt-f1 or tab or some combination of it might make it switch back to text, not sure though.
[14:03] <dcorking> szal : going to apt version <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu4.1
[14:03] <Reikoku> Press esc when booting
[14:03] <brahmana> ok
[14:03] <Reikoku> See what the error is
[14:03] <szal> dcorking: that update came a week or so ago; I normally don't bother about changelogs, so I didn't notice something strange there
[14:05] <szal> dcorking: perhaps poke the maintainer about your finding
[14:05] <nahab> ubuntu-de
[14:05] <Traintop> ok, after aborting my last compile I just read a line which I overread till now: "WARNING: Symbol version dump /home/marcus/zd/linux-source-2.6.38/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.
[14:05] <Traintop> "
[14:06] <dcorking> szal - ta - where do you find the dates on the updates?
[14:06] <starlon> is there any way to disable specific cores? I know I can pass maxcpus=1 in Grub. I don't know which core's being used though.
[14:06] <Traintop> this is exactly the problem I have with this module...
[14:06] <starlon> Does it simply go 0, then 1, etc..?
[14:06] <Traintop> how can I get this fixed... -copy Module.symvers from /boot?
[14:06] <brahmana> szal, Reikoku : Doesn't halt at an error. Lead me to the blank screen and silent CD drive again.
[14:06] <Reikoku>  Traintop: Did you make before make modules?
[14:07] <dyd> what's a good way to make an image of all my so + applications? like a recovery dvd
[14:07] <Traintop> Reikoku: no
[14:07] <brahmana> szal, Reikoku The last thing that looked like an error was : ureadahead-other stopped with status 4
[14:07] <Reikoku> brahmana: Seems like it's trying to load X but failing :/
[14:07] <szal> brahmana: that's normal, afaict
[14:07] <natrixnatrix89> how do i access ubuntu guest user account?
[14:07] <brahmana> can I start this in runlevel 3?
[14:07] <Reikoku> Are ttys enabled in livecd environment?
[14:07] <offermann_> hi, hab ubuntu 11.04 leider ist kein ruhestand instsalliert, wie kann ich das ändern?
[14:07] <Reikoku> Try ctrl-alt-f2
[14:07] <brahmana> No, none of those worked
[14:08] <szal> natrixnatrix89: there is no guest user account, unless you created one
[14:08] <Traintop> Reikoku: I did the following: 1. apt-get install linux-sources-2.6.28.tar.bz2 2. patch zd1211rw-module 3. cp /boot/config-2.6.38-8-generic .config 4. make oldconfig;make modules_prepare;make modules...
[14:08] <brahmana> Reikoku: i.e none of Ctrl + alt + F(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) worked
[14:09] <brahmana> szal: Is there a boot up option like edd=on to start in runlevel 3? (i.e. no X)
[14:09] <starlon> Is there a particular package I can install via apt-get that'll install a bunch of common build tools, such as automake, gcc, std libs, etc?
[14:09] <szal> brahmana: append "text" to the kernel line in Grub
[14:09] <Reikoku> brahmana: I can only suggest the alternative CD
[14:09] <Reikoku> Traintop: That should work assuming your kernel is a similar version
[14:10] <kiichiro> on xubuntu how do I make it so it automatically logs me in?
[14:10] <Reikoku> I assume all as root :P
[14:10] <Traintop> Reikoku: I downloaded this version because this is the kernel my machine uses atm...
[14:10] <root____> where do u think i should start learning backtrack???
[14:10] <ikonia> root____: in #backtrack-linux
[14:10] <Traintop> Reikoku: thought this would be the only way... :-)
[14:10] <ikonia> root____: this channel is for Ubuntu support
[14:10] <Reikoku> Traintop: Oh, you're not upgrading kernel then? :P
[14:10] <starlon> ah build-essentials
[14:11] <Traintop> Reikoku: no, I just want to recompile this one module called "zd1211rw.ko"
[14:11] <brahmana> szal: The end of the boot options line looks like this now : "initird=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash -- text" -- Is that fine?
[14:11] <Traintop> because I have to patch this module for some specific reason...
[14:11] <szal> brahmana: yes
[14:12] <szal> brahmana: while you're at it you might want to remove "quiet splash"
[14:13] <Traintop> Reikoku: what yould be the way you suggest to do this? -the only reason I'm fiddling with the kernel is this packet-injection-patch for the zd1211rw-module... -I do NOT want to compile my kernel or up- or downgrade it; just get this module to work with this patch... :-(
[14:13] <nahab> hallo jemand da?
[14:13] <brahmana> szal: it worked.. I got the prompt.. ! :)
[14:13] <szal> brahmana: in other words, it's an X load problem
[14:13] <Traintop> nahab: yo, alda :-)
[14:13] <szal> !de | nahab
[14:14] <Reikoku> Traintop: I'm struggling to see why it isn't working, I assume you do make oldconfig, then make menuconfig to turn on the module you want, then patch, then make modules
[14:14] <Reikoku> I used to have a module I had to patch all the time for my Mac's backlight
[14:14] <Traintop> reikoku: ok, wrong order; I first did patch, then make oldconfig...
[14:14] <Traintop> Reikoku: should I try the other way round?
[14:14] <dddbmt> How do I check the temperature of my ubuntu 11.04 machine? It is quite warm, and just turn off without warning.
[14:14] <brahmana> szal: Yes. I wonder if some conf file tweaks can get X also running... nevertheless the command prompt should be good enough for now..
[14:15] <kiichiro> can someone help me so I don't need to login, I know I just asked this but I switched computers to more easily read everything
[14:15] <brahmana> szal, Reikoku, Monotoko : thank you all very much...
[14:15] <tyler_d> why is it that in ubuntu 11.04 the terminal title does not update on ssh? fresh install(32)
[14:15] <nahab> german ubuntu?
[14:15] <szal> brahmana: if you want to actually install something on that machine later on, I suggest grabbing the alternate CD
[14:15] <tktiddle> Im looking for a package "alfresco" which should be in the partners repo, but i cant find it with aptitude.. does anyone know anything about this package? is it available on ubuntu10?
[14:15] <natrixnatrix89> kiichiro: do you mean autologin?
[14:16] <Traintop> nahab: es gibt einen deutschen ubuntu-channel; aber worum geht es? -vielleict kann ich dir weiterhelfen?
[14:16] <kiichiro> Correct natrixnatrix89
[14:16] <brahmana> szal: I will remember that.
[14:16] <natrixnatrix89> kiichiro are you on natty?
[14:16] <kiichiro> yes
[14:16] <kiichiro> xubuntu 11.04
[14:16] <head_victim> Anyone have some good rsync flags for syncing a mirror? I'm using -vtlrh --delete and my mirror has slowly gorwn over time to 800 GB
[14:16] <brahmana> szal: However the case here is that, it was a dual boot eariler and I accidentally deleted the Ubuntu partition from windows and now I need to set the MBR right so that I can boot Windows at least.. !
[14:16] <Reikoku> brahmana: Depending what your graphics card is, you may need to be prepared to mess around to get it to work
[14:17] <natrixnatrix89> kiichiro: then just go to settings and click login screen
[14:17] <ikonia> head_victim: try #rsync
[14:17] <natrixnatrix89> and use autologin
[14:17] <pokoko222> which header and library do i need to install for glut in ubuntu?
[14:17] <szal> brahmana: ah, that should work fine on the terminal ^^
[14:17] <CaptWho> anyone have any idea how to burn a 788mg iso image on a 700mg data disk?  is it possible to break the iso into 2 parts?
[14:17] <kiichiro> My name is not available to be choosen from the list, the drop box just remains gray even after I unlock it
[14:17] <head_victim> ikonia: cheers, looked for a mirror room but that's another aspect
[14:17] <natrixnatrix89> have you checked the checkbox?
[14:17] <Traintop> pokoko222: just open synaptic and enter "glut dev" in the search field
[14:17] <kiichiro> yes I have
[14:18] <brahmana> Reikoku: I think I will keep this old one on Windows. I will just the new one for Linux. :)
[14:18] <pokoko222> Traintop by the way i got gl and glu headers right :) ok i will do this one now
[14:18] <natrixnatrix89> weird. maybe you have to reconfigure login screen manager..
[14:18] <pokoko222> Traintop but there is other stuff like freeglut dunno what to install
[14:18] <kiichiro> how exactly would I go about doing that
[14:19] <szal> Traintop: he found the German channel ;)
[14:19] <Traintop> pokoko222: it's always the same when setting up a new machine... installing all the libs and headers for GL... -but if you got it running once you have no worries anymore... :-)
[14:19] <natrixnatrix89> kiichiro: just sudo dpkg --reconfigure <your login manager>
[14:19] <natrixnatrix89> on ubuntu it would be gdm
[14:19] <kiichiro> what would my login manager be exactly?
[14:19] <natrixnatrix89> on lubuntu it was lxdm as I remember
[14:19] <madprops> how can this make any sense? http://www.mybravetruehero.com/skype-upside-down-video-problem-solved/
[14:19] <natrixnatrix89> I don't remember.. google for that
[14:19] <madprops> how is that file supposed to run skype?
[14:19] <Traintop> szal: I always sit here because I HOPE there are more english-speaking-ubuntu-users than german ones.. .:-)
[14:19] <pokoko222> Traintop ok so which one do i install there are more glut headers and libraries stuff all over the place :)
[14:20] <BluesKaj> brahmana, are you sure you deleted the ubuntu partition , or did you install windows after installing ubuntu and now you can't access
[14:20] <szal> Traintop: obviously there are ;)
