[04:24] <prince_jammys> itsux2bu: dpkg is lower level, used to install individual .deb files and to query packages, among other things. 'aptitude' has a text-mode interface and at one point used to be smarter about handling removing that were automatically installed. i think nowadays there are fewer differences between apt-get and aptitude. If you have both the latter installed, i recommend aptitude.\
[04:24] <Nic_> It just says that...
[04:25] <tonysan> I can't connect to my remote desktop with vnc, how to enable/fix it in console?
[04:25] <Nic_> I picked mount, but nothing is really happening, sacarlson
[04:25] <ubuntu_n00b> Almost every single lowercase M on the screen appears as a space
[04:25] <prince_jammys> *removing packages
[04:25] <sacarlson> nic_: when I say mount normaly all that is required is to double click the disk icons to get them to mount and open
[04:26] <Nic_> Alright it is mounted in that case!
[04:26] <Sunderphon> I don't have a "Network" option under places, how do I add it to that menu?
[04:26] <fixermark> ubuntu_n00b: Hunh. So specifically, it's your gnome desktop apps. Your taskbar, the various dialogs, etc. Your chat client is fine.
[04:26] <Nic_> I can see inside :)
[04:26] <PeterFA> I just installed Ubuntu and I don't have sound. I tried to remove Pulseaudio and that didn't work.
[04:26] <ubuntu_n00b> not the little box I type in...
[04:26] <Nic_> I see my normal home folder here
[04:26] <PeterFA> I mean, I did successfully remove it but it didn't fix my sound.
[04:26] <ubuntu_n00b> I can't see the lowercase ms I type
[04:26] <sacarlson> Nic_: ok you can see inside all of them?
[04:26] <Nic_> And I can see my music and stuff, etc
[04:26] <Nic_> Yep!
[04:26] <fixermark> ubuntu_n00b: My guess is that something bad happened to whatever default font your gnome session is using. I'd recommend zeroing in on that possibility.
[04:27] <fixermark> Unfortunately, my knowledge of how to diagnose / repair font issues doesn't go far past "try re-installing the font."
[04:27] <ubuntu_n00b> I didn't change any settings though... with the exception of the volume occasionally
[04:27] <sacarlson> Nic_: well seems that the disk aren't corrupted then.  must be in the kernel or something in the xserver setting then
[04:27] <Nic_> So what should I do?
[04:27] <Nic_> This is good news, though :)
[04:27] <fixermark> ubuntu_n00b: I believe you. But I'm out of other ideas. ;)
[04:27] <kasun> Hello, I was using "password not asked on login" setting and I want to change it back to "ask" mode. I changed it from "Users Settings" dialog but it still does not ask for the password. can someone help me?
[04:27] <Nic_> I am glad my stuff isn't destoyed :)
[04:28] <fixermark> The fact that the 'm' characters do show up in the chat output points the finger at a font issue.
[04:28] <Sunderphon> I don't have a "Network" option under places, how do I add it to that menu?
[04:28] <sacarlson> Nic_: well it gets to how far in the boot with the harddisk?  not even to login screen?
[04:29] <Nic_> It normally skips login since I am the only one who uses it
[04:29] <ubuntu_n00b> :( does anyone here know why I can't see the lowercase letter "M" on my screen? I have no idea how to fix this, so unless someone else tells me, It'll never get fixed :/
[04:29] <Nic_> But yeah, it only gets to the "Starting Up ..." screen, sacarlson
[04:29] <sacarlson> Nic_:  oh ok it auto logs in
[04:29] <Nic_> It just doesn't go anywhere after that
[04:29] <Nic_> Yep
[04:29] <facu__> holaa
[04:29] <facu__> alguien
[04:29] <santobob> algum brasileiro na rede
[04:29] <fixermark> ubuntu_n00b: If you're not interested in investigating the font issue, you could always move your data someplace safe and re-install from scratch.
[04:30] <facu__> ALGUIEN DE SANTA FE
[04:30] <sacarlson> Nic_:  well now we should go and look on that disk that normaly boots and look in /var/log
[04:30] <prince_jammys> !es | facu__
[04:30] <fixermark> Sorry, but disappearing 'm's is not a common problem. It's unlikely someone will be able to magically gin up a solution for this very unusual issue :(
[04:30] <Nic_> Ok, I will take a look sacarlson
[04:30] <sacarlson> Nic_: there we might find clues as to why it didn't boot so we can find a solution
[04:30] <PeterFA> I have an ICH10 sound card with ALSA. I don't have sound. What should I do?
[04:30] <ubuntu_n00b> How do I reinstall only the fonts... I don't want to bother reinstalling from scratch, it's a pain.
[04:30] <Sunderphon> I don't have a "Network" option under places, how do I add it to that menu?
[04:31] <Nic_> sacarlson: I am in var/log, now what?
[04:31] <fixermark> You'll have to figure out what the default system font is. Then you can check online to see what package it lives in and try re-installing that package.
[04:31] <ubuntu_n00b> This is a fine example of one of the things you expect to "just work"...
[04:31] <Nic_> I see a few text files and folders
[04:31] <Loshki> My 10.04 install is spending a lot time installing language packs (it never asked if I want them, and never asked if it was ok to web access). If I press "skip" will it break something? It never offered to explain exactly what would be skipped. Bad job ubuntu installer developers....
[04:31] <fixermark> I agree!
[04:31] <Sunderphon> Can someone help me add Network to the places menu?
[04:31] <ubuntu_n00b> every other letter works perfectly...
[04:31] <sacarlson> Nic_: media/xxxxxxx/var/log/syslog
[04:32] <sacarlson> Nic_: media is where it probly mounted you normal boot disk
[04:32] <fixermark> Your default font is likely "Sans", if you haven't changed it.
[04:32] <ubuntu_n00b> computers suck :( Something is _always_ broken except when it comes right out of the box
[04:32] <Nic_> I found the syslog, sacarlson
[04:32] <Nic_> It is just a big ol' text file
[04:32] <sacarlson> Nic_: xxxx is some big number or something you labled you disk with
[04:32] <fixermark> Try going to the "System" menu, pull up "Appearance", and select the "Fonts" tab. Type in the text box and see if 'm' appears.
[04:33] <Nic_> sacarlson: I am already there :)
[04:33] <PrincepsRegulus> hello all
[04:33] <itsux2bu> so does anyone know if Mark Shuttleworth ever comes in the channel?
[04:33] <Nic_> Just a textfile called syslog
[04:33] <cosmonaut> test
[04:33] <Sunderphon> Can someone help me add "Network" to the places menu?
[04:33] <PrincepsRegulus> need some noob-ey help
[04:33] <sacarlson> Nic_:  ok paistbin that and the xorg.0.log also
[04:33] <Nic_> Oh man, let me try connecting to the internet first, one sec
[04:33] <ubuntu_n00b> there is no text box under system > preferences > appearance > fonts
[04:33] <Loshki> ubuntu_n00b: your computer is probably the single most complex thing you own. Little wonder it's always broken. It's a miracle it ever works, frankly....
[04:34] <sacarlson> Nic_:  yes internet will also work if you use dhcp
[04:34] <fixermark> ubuntu_n00b: What is at the bottom, under the "Preview:" label?
[04:34] <Nic_> Ok, I am online
[04:34] <PrincepsRegulus> I'm having trouble getting ubuntu to start, could anyone help?
[04:34] <Nic_> Let me pastebin those for you
[04:34] <Sunderphon> I don't have a "Network" option under places, how do I add it to that menu?
[04:34] <TiK> PrincepsRegulus: http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[04:35] <PrincepsRegulus> thanks
[04:35] <ubuntu_n00b> there is no "preview". just "rendering"...
[04:35] <ubuntu_n00b> oh.. you have to click on the font... ok
[04:35] <Nic_> sacarlson: I am starting with the syslog
[04:35] <fixermark> Oh, yes, sorry. Left that step out.
[04:35] <sacarlson> Nic_:  ok
[04:35] <ubuntu_n00b> typing m in the sans font shows nothing in the box
[04:35] <fixermark> While we're on the subject though, what is selected for your Application font?
[04:35] <ubuntu_n00b> all other characters work fine
[04:36] <PrincepsRegulus> Sorry, I'll rephrase that
[04:36] <ubuntu_n00b> application font is "Sans"
[04:36] <Nic_> sacarlson: pastebin.com/vWaj4QLS
[04:36] <ubuntu_n00b> m works fine in sans bold
[04:36] <Nic_> That is the syslog
[04:36] <fixermark> Okay. Check another font as well. Non-sans.
[04:36] <ubuntu_n00b> also works fine in monospace
[04:36] <fixermark> How about Serif?
[04:36] <Milez> hi
[04:36] <sacarlson> Nic_:  in the future please add http:// stuf so I can just click it
[04:36] <ubuntu_n00b> serif works fine...
[04:37] <PrincepsRegulus> After looking around a bit for a solution, I keep getting a black screen when I try to boot. Many people have the same issue, but mine doesn't make the drum sound and doesn't respond to anything I do save turning off the computer.
[04:37] <Nic_> Oh, alright, sorry about that, I had to type it in from my laptop
[04:37] <Sunderphon> I lack a "Network" option under "places". I've searched for a while for answers on how to add this but searching "add network to places menu ubuntu" doesn't bring anything helpful. If I can't find the network places area without the places menu, how am I supposed to add it?
[04:37] <ubuntu_n00b> so far only seeing the issue on the sans font.
[04:37] <Nic_> Ok, here is the xorg
[04:37] <fixermark> Okay. So you now have a workaround; choose another font. ;)
[04:37] <PrincepsRegulus> is that less stupid?
[04:37] <Nic_> sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/gDSqeX9t
[04:37] <fixermark> And you've got the problem isolated to your Sans font. You can reinstall that at your leisure. No, I don't know what package that is. But the internet does, I"m sure.
[04:37] <Nic_> There is both of them
[04:38] <ubuntu_n00b> hmm... I guess I could live with the seriff font, but sans might be used by something even though seriff is default now... does anyone know how to reinstall just the "Sans" font?
[04:38] <PrincepsRegulus> tik?
[04:38] <unogame> i'm trying to set up an ldap server with ubuntu 10.04 and my domain contains three parts dc=cs,dc=lab,dc=com but is there any reason why cs why cause some comflicts?
[04:38] <prince_jammys> .msg
[04:38] <TiK> PrincepsRegulus: sounds like your video drivers .. dunno why you don't head drums you should hit alt control f2
[04:39] <PrincepsRegulus> Alright, thanks
[04:39] <ubuntu_n00b> ... wtf it's only the "Sans" font, at size 10.
[04:39] <Nic_> sacarlson?
[04:39] <ubuntu_n00b> size 11 works fine
[04:39] <Sunderphon> Can someone help me add Network to my places menu?
[04:39] <ubuntu_n00b> that makes no sense at all
[04:39] <sacarlson> Nic_:  what you think I am a speed reader
[04:39] <Nic_> sacarlson: Sorry :(
[04:39] <sacarlson> Nic_:  I don't see any major problems
[04:39] <TiK> PrincepsRegulus: if that works its your video drivers... there is something you can add at boot but I don't know what it is
[04:40] <prince_jammys> ubuntu_n00b: i'm guessing the package ttf-dejavu, though it'd be surprised if that's the problem.
[04:40] <Sunderphon> Can someone help me add Network to my places menu or should I go to bed and hope for a reply tomorrow
[04:40] <TiK> Sunderphon: you've beenasking the same question forever.. hold on
[04:40] <Nic_> sacarlson: You don't?
[04:40] <TiK> Sunderphon: ill check right now
[04:40] <WinstonSmith> !ask | Sunderphon
[04:40] <PeterFA> Anyone know how to fix choppy playback?
[04:40] <PeterFA> I get a bit of sound every 3/4 second.
[04:41] <Sunderphon> WinstonSmith: I *DID* ask my question, several times
[04:41] <WinstonSmith> Sunderphon, sry wrong factoid :(
[04:41] <Sunderphon> I've googled several different terms for it and nothing helpful came up
[04:41] <Sunderphon> For some reason there's never been a Network option under that menu and I've come to needing it recently
[04:42] <prince_jammys> Sunderphon: i'm guessing this has to do with editing a gconf entry.
[04:42] <Sunderphon> No, I've not touched anything
[04:42] <ubuntu_n00b> prince_jammys: it says ttf-dejavu is already installed...
[04:42] <sacarlson> Nic_: from what I see here the computer thinks it's in perfect health.  so the problem must only be in the display
[04:42] <Sunderphon> Well, I installed xubuntu-desktop and xfce
[04:42] <WinstonSmith> !ping
[04:42] <TiK> Sunderphon: i dunno man
[04:43] <Sunderphon> that may have caused it to disappear
[04:43] <Nic_> sacarlson: So what should I do?
[04:43] <TiK> PrincepsRegulus: any luck?
[04:43] <fixermark> ubuntu_n00b: You may also want to gifve your /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file a poke... See if anything in there makes no sense.
[04:43] <sacarlson> Nic_: like you said the screen goes blank.  I also see this must be an apple?
[04:43] <PrincepsRegulus> sorry, tik, alt-ctrl-f1 or alt-ctrl-f2? I want to make sure before I restart my comp, because everyone else says to try f2 and that didnt do anything
[04:43] <fixermark> ... or if you have a ~/.fonts.conf file that could be interfering.
[04:43] <PrincepsRegulus> *to try f1
[04:43] <Nic_> sacarlson: Huh, nope, this was a windows 7
[04:43] <PrincepsRegulus> sorry XD
[04:44] <MTecknology> Any ideas why I'm not able to install gnash? http://dpaste.com/234671/
[04:44] <Lucks> hello all
[04:45] <sacarlson> Nic_: I guess it has an intel graphic card from seeing i965_dri.so
[04:45] <Nic_> sacarlson: Seems that way...
[04:45] <TiK> MTecknology: no sorry but what does gnash do? Ive never heard of it
[04:45] <MTecknology> TiK: open source flash
[04:46] <sacarlson> Nic_:  we could try two things first we could try to force -vesa graphics some how  by adding line in grub2 boot or maybe by modify the xorg.conf
[04:46] <TiK> MTecknology: ooh i use flashplugin-nonfree
[04:46] <TiK> MTecknology: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:46] <UnderSampled> ubuntu is stuck on 5 red dots while loading
[04:46] <MTecknology> TiK: I tried it and it doesn't suite me
[04:46] <Nic_> sacarlson: And what is the second option
[04:47] <WinstonSmith> goodby ppl cya :D
[04:47] <sacarlson> Nic_: I'm not sure but did you have the propriatary video drivers enabled?
[04:47] <UnderSampled> what do I do?
[04:47] <Nic_> I don't think so
[04:47] <Bridge|> hi all just upgraded to 10.01, prob ismy cpu may have turned off before the install completed cuz when I turned it back on after assuming it finished cuz it was off, the ubuntu 10.01 loading with dots appear and there now ubuntu graphic logo its just text then i hit a command promt promting me for user name and pass i login and just have a unix like interface its just one big terminal/console no GUI
[04:47] <TiK> MTecknology: have you tried sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash ?
[04:47] <Bridge|> i just upgraded from 10.04 all was working fine
[04:47] <sacarlson> Nic_: the secound was the xorg.conf change
[04:47] <MTecknology> TiK: yup - and it pukes - which is why I tried the dpkg --configure
[04:47] <Nic_> sacarlson: Ohh
[04:47] <Nic_> Hmm
[04:48] <TiK> MTecknology: hm
[04:48] <WinstonSmith> !maverick | Bridge|
[04:48] <MTecknology> TiK: I just figure dpkg makes prettier output for seeking help :)
[04:48] <sacarlson> Nic_:  I haven't done this in some time so I'm not sure what things may have changed
[04:48] <Bridge|> kk
[04:48] <TiK> MTecknology: no it actually says nothing
[04:48] <johnnymozetti200> anyone having problems upgrading ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 on striped array?
[04:48] <MTecknology> TiK: well. line 4 is the issue
[04:49] <Nic_> sacarlson: Do you want to give it a shot?
[04:49] <TiK> MTecknology: hold
[04:49] <Nic_> sacarlson: It is getting late... I am just afraid you might not be here in the morning or something
[04:49] <sacarlson> Nic_: it's your shot,  try the grub2 add -vesa to boot line
[04:49] <TiK> MTecknology: can you use www.pastebin.com it cuts off
[04:49] <Nic_> I don't know how to do that :\
[04:49] <itsux2bu> tasksel is cool..
[04:49] <TiK> http://www.pastebin.com
[04:50] <sacarlson> Nic_:  you seem to know how to get to the grub2 menu go to edit mode edit the linux line add the the end of it -vesa
[04:50] <TiK> MTecknology: brb
[04:50] <Nic_> I will try...
[04:51] <sacarlson> Nic_:  this may only effect the grub boot section I'm not sure.  if this fails then we need to boot the cd again and try modify the Xorg.conf
[04:52] <MTecknology> TiK: id doesn't cut off - it's 8 lines
[04:52] <UnderSampled> how do I get to a terminal when ubuntu hangs at the loading screen?
[04:53] <Nic_> sacarlson: I am in the boot menu, it says "press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before booting, or 'c' for a command line
[04:53] <sacarlson> Nic_:  well this is my morning so you might get someone else to help you in the moring
[04:53] <mtx_init> UnderSampled: boot into the recovery mode on your grub menu
[04:53] <sacarlson> Nic_:   select e
[04:53] <UnderSampled> mtx_init: I don't get a grub menu
[04:53] <UnderSampled> mtx_init: otherwise I would
[04:54] <sacarlson> nic_ arrow to the linux line  then not sure what to do to edit
[04:54] <Nic_> sacarlson: Alright, I pressed e, and I have a list of four options: the starting of which are 'uuid', 'kernel', 'initrd', and one just says 'quiet'
[04:54] <Bridge|> okay someone tell me how to atleast continue/resume a ubuntu upgrade from command line/terminal/console or will "sudo update-manager -d" resume it if it didnt finish?
[04:54] <mtx_init> UnderSampled: Sometimes Pressing F2 upon initial boot will put the user into the terminal.  But uive never actually seen that in Ubuntu, give it a try.
[04:54] <sacarlson> Nic_:  oh here is it the grub2 edit docs http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20/GRUB2%20Edit%20Mode.html
[04:55] <TiK> MTecknology: back
[04:55] <TiK> MTecknology: no 8 lines but look at the ending of those lines.. it cuts off
[04:56] <sacarlson> Nic_:  I guess it's the line with kernel then,  in this line it says linux vmlinuz should look like
[04:56] <MTecknology> TiK: you scrolled to the right?
[04:56] <Nic_> sacarlson: I don't totally follow you
[04:57] <Nic_> sacarlson: I can edit the kernel though, just add -vesa at the ending?
[04:57] <TiK> oh I wa tring to do it with my mouse.. now i feel stupid
[04:57] <sacarlson> Nic_:  add to that line that has the work vmlinux at the end -vesa  if you need info to edit look at the link above
[04:58] <Nic_> sacarlson: I dont see any that end with "vmlinux"
[04:58] <sacarlson> Nic_:  not end in vmlinux,  one that contains vmlinux... add to the end of that line -vesa
[04:59] <basncy> Excuse me,I make a C deamon Programe,and added it to /etc/rc.local  to run when the system start up,the question is that can the C deamon excute the C code like system("mv /file1 /file2")?
[04:59] <Nic_> sacarlson: I don't see 'vmlinux' anywhere...
[04:59] <TiK> MTecknology: just create the symlink yourself?
[04:59] <sacarlson> Nic_:  try the kernel line then
[04:59] <TiK> basncy: thats not C codethat is BASH sripting
[04:59] <sacarlson> nic_ did you look at the grub link above?
[05:00] <MTecknology> TiK: which would mean making that whole directory structure too
[05:00] <Nic_> sacarlson: Ok, I added -vesa, now just run that option?
[05:00] <Nic_> sacarlson: I did, I understand how to edit it though
[05:00] <sacarlson> Nic_:  seems by the link I sent you that I also have to read it says Press 'ctrl' + 'x' to boot
[05:01] <basncy> TiK, C code has the system function(man system) that can excute BASH scriping
[05:01] <UnderSampled> mtx_init: it seems to restart the load
[05:01] <Bridge|> anyone if i'm stuck in a non-gui ubuntu cuz of a ubuntu upgrade fail or to resume upgrade or atleast start it over
[05:01] <TiK> basncy: as long as it works when executed then yes
[05:01] <Nic_> sacarlson: I only had to press "b"
[05:01] <Nic_> sacarlson: But it is again stuck at the "Starting Up ..." screen
[05:01] <mtx_init> UnderSampled: Im not sure then, id just use a livecd and enable the time for grub2, so you can get into recovery.
[05:02] <sacarlson> Nic_:  maybe you run grub lagacy?
[05:02] <TiK> Nic_: take off quiet mode
[05:02] <FyreFoX> is there any benefit of turning on HT (hyper-threading) ?
[05:02] <Nic_> TiK: How do I do that? I did see "quiet" on the list
[05:02] <sacarlson> tiK nic_ good idea do that
[05:02] <UnderSampled> mtx_init: do you have any ideas why changing the xorg.conf would make ubuntu hang during boot?
[05:03] <mtx_init> FyreFoX: It depens on your hardware mostly, if you have a quadcore with HT, yeah turn it on.
[05:03] <TiK> Nic_: you have to hit e  something I forget and take out the -splash QUIET and then it will tell you where it's anging
[05:03] <TiK> hanging
[05:03] <Nic_> Just delete "quiet" from the kernel thing
[05:03] <Nic_> Ok
[05:03] <sacarlson> Nic_:  on that linux line there may be other setting including quiet take that out
[05:03] <Nic_> I am doing it now
[05:03] <basncy> Tik, thanx,and when the programe started by /etc/rc.local, does it run as root? and can do anything?
[05:03] <Nic_> Woah lotsa text, sacarlson TiK
[05:03] <TiK> basncy: yes it has superuser privlages
[05:04] <FyreFoX> mtx_init: I do, sinc HT came out and I found it was all fudge no real perf increase I've always just turned it off. Have things improved and its actually worthwhile ?
[05:04] <Jordan_U> Nic_: That's normal.
[05:04] <TiK> Nic_: yeah thats your system start..
[05:04] <basncy> TiK,ok,thanks a lot , i make a try.
[05:04] <UnderSampled> mtx_init: I gave it an invalid xorg.conf earlier and it worked fine. then I did what I thought would fix it, and now this
[05:04] <Nic_> Ok, the text stopped, it is no longer moving
[05:04] <mtx_init> FyreFoX: HT is just an enhancement in the cpu's pipeline.  Its possible dual core technology has made it irrelevant.  Im not certain.
[05:04] <TiK> Nic_: what does it say?
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Nic_: What is the last line on the screen?
[05:05] <Nic_> It says at the last entry "usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3"
[05:05] <sacarlson> Nic_:  at what point is that like network?
[05:05] <TiK> Nic_: thats called a "crash" or a "hang" ;)
[05:05] <FyreFoX> mtx_init: k, thanks :)
[05:05] <Nic_> TiK: I don't like crash/hangs ;)
[05:05] <TiK> hehehe
[05:06] <sacarlson> Nic_:  what's pluged into all your usb plugs?
[05:06] <TiK> you got me man
[05:06] <Nic_> The USBs dont have anything in them
[05:06] <mtx_init> UnderSampled: Im not sure, I think the live CD is your best option.   Linux doesnt have a safemode like windows.
[05:06] <sacarlson> nic_ give it a bit more time it might time out at some point and we will see what it is
[05:07] <TiK> Nic_: you're best bet would be to post on the forums with make/model of you computer and that line
[05:07] <Nic_> :(
[05:07] <Jordan_U> UnderSampled: Hold shift during boot to get the grub menu.
[05:07] <Nic_> I really wanted to finish before I had to go to bed
[05:07] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: ok
[05:07] <Nic_> I am really stressed out, this computer is my school and everything :\
[05:07] <TiK> Nic_: its worth the wait :O
[05:07] <Jordan_U> Nic_: What version of Ubuntu is installed?
[05:07] <TiK> o
[05:08] <Nic_> Since I can mount my Drive, would it make sense to just reinstall from the live cd or something?
[05:08] <sacarlson> Nic_:  well you have access to your work files so no big thing.  worst case move your personal file from /home/youaccount to a usb flash and reinstall you working 9.X disk
[05:09] <Nic_> My usb isn't that big :o
[05:09] <Jordan_U> Nic_: I wouldn't install 9.04 unless you absolutely have to. If you are going to re-install at least install 10.04.1
[05:09] <sacarlson> nic_ you will need to backup you /home dir before you install
[05:09] <sacarlson> Nic_:  you don't even have a usb mouse?
[05:09] <Nic_> Nope, its a laptop
[05:10] <sacarlson> nic_ so it's still stuck at that line never moved?
[05:10] <Nic_> sacarlson: yep
[05:10] <Jordan_U> Nic_: Do you think you could take a picture of the screen?
[05:11] <KE1HA> Nic what laptop make & model is it?
[05:11] <sacarlson> nic_ try the same take out quiet and add -vesa and try the oldist kernel
[05:11] <Nic_> Nope, my only camera is the one on my laptop
[05:11] <Nic_> sacarlson: I will give it a shot
[05:11] <unogame> hello I'm trying to set up an ldap server and my domain looks like this dc=cs,dc=mylab,dc=com but I get the following error after adding the frontend database ldap_add: Naming violation (64) additional info: value of single-valued naming attribute 'dc' conflicts with the value present in entry
[05:11] <Jordan_U> Nic_: What you want to add to the kernel parameters is "xforcevesa".
[05:12] <Nic_> Jordan_U: I will try
[05:12] <unogame> but whenever I don't have dc=cs I don't get any erros
[05:12] <Andrezao> Voltei
[05:12] <Andrezao> cai
[05:12] <UnderSampled> what should I do first to trouble shoot why ubuntu hangs on boot?
[05:12] <Nic_> Lotsa text again
[05:13] <Jordan_U> UnderSampled: Try booting the recovery mode entry.
[05:13] <fixermark> Found the solution to my issue. I had to unset /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager to cause gnome-session to stop ignoring the $WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable.
[05:13] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: I got that
[05:13] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: is this fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/285562
[05:13] <Nic_> Waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
[05:13] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: and after that?
[05:13] <Nic_> I might be starting :o
[05:13] <Nic_> It is at the usual "Ubuntu Studio" startup screen
[05:13] <sacarlson> nic_ cool it timed out
[05:13] <Jordan_U> UnderSampled: It depends, what happened when you selected recovery mode?
[05:13] <sacarlson> nic_ you were just never patiant enuf to wait
[05:14] <UnderSampled> it worked as expected. I got the recovery list, and I selected netroot
[05:14] <Nic_> sacarlson: What?
[05:14] <Nic_> sacarlson: No, I followed Jordan_U's advice and restarted but changed the parameters a little :P
[05:14] <Nic_> It didn't time out :3
[05:14] <sacarlson> Nic_:  it could be something in fstab that will time out at some point at boot
[05:14] <sacarlson> nic_ did it boot?
[05:15] <Nic_> It is at the startup, and the computer is making noise
[05:15] <sacarlson> nic_ oh ok so the xforce works exelent
[05:15] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: netroot seems to work fine
[05:15] <julius__> quien habla español
[05:15] <Jordan_U> Nic_: Ok, what graphics card do you have?
[05:15] <Jordan_U> !es | julius__
[05:16] <Milez> arg, can someone help me get alsa upgraded? I'm following this procedure to the letter, but cat /proc/asound/drivers still says 1.0.20 and aplay still says 1.0.20.  (  http://tinyurl.com/2u76gkl  )
[05:16] <Nic_> Jordan_U: Not sure
[05:16] <Nic_> It is still making noise, but the startup screen hasn't made any progress
[05:16] <unogame> does anybody have some sort of experience or knowledge with LDAP?
[05:16] <Nic_> It keeps making the same sound, like it is trying over and over the same thing
[05:17] <Jordan_U> UnderSampled: Remove any and all files you added to /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ .
[05:17] <Jordan_U> Nic_: What is the output of "lspci | grep VGA"?
[05:18] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: wouldn't a broken Xorg.conf act differently?
[05:18] <patriick> how to open up a port for transmission?
[05:18] <sacarlson> nic_: Jordan_U: I'm not sure it gets that far or maybe just not yet.  just a slow boot?
[05:18] <Jordan_U> UnderSampled: Differently than what?
[05:18] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: than hanging on the boot screen
[05:18] <Nic_> sacarlson: Jordan_U It is still on startup
[05:18] <UnderSampled> usually (I thought) it hangs after boot
[05:18] <Nic_> It is not making any progress
[05:19] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: or is it that I am in a virtual box, and graphics card errors act differently than on normal hardware?
[05:19] <sacarlson> nic_ next time if we have to boot the cd live.  you should capture that info on lspic and lshw for these guys
[05:19] <JohnRobert> what would be the best way to synchronise a music library between my laptop and my pc.. don't want to use a network share as often the laptop isn't in my house with the pc
[05:19] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: also, this happened after I added an actaul /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[05:19] <Jordan_U> Nic_: Ok, reboot using the instructions ubottu is about to give you then run "lspci | grep VGA" from the LiveCD.
[05:19] <JohnRobert> I'm thinking maybe subversion.. but is there a better way?
[05:19] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | Nic_
[05:19] <mneptok> JohnRobert: rsync
[05:20] <JohnRobert> mneptok: what about if I rename directories etc..
[05:20] <JohnRobert> hmmm
[05:20] <mneptok> JohnRobert: what do you mean exactly?
[05:21] <JohnRobert> well, actually what if I delete a directory on the pc, but then run rsync on the laptop that directory will end up being put back
[05:21] <JohnRobert> and so on..
[05:21] <Jordan_U> UnderSampled: How X acts when presented with an incorrect Xorg.conf depends on how exactly it's broken. Remove the Xorg.conf entirely to get back to the default configuration.
[05:21] <JohnRobert> I basically need rsync to work like dropbox
[05:21] <mneptok> JohnRobert: no. it will then be deleted on the laptop.
[05:21] <Nic_> That worked :o
[05:21] <Nic_> Anyways I am booting from liveCD now
[05:21] <UnderSampled> Jordan_U: ok, but then I wouldn't have gotten closer to my goal of editing the .conf
[05:22] <Jordan_U> UnderSampled: What are you trying to edit specifically and why?
[05:22] <sacarlson> nic_ jordan_U: wow this looks cool you should try that r e i s u b thing.  I never seen it before
[05:22] <PeterFA> Anyone know how to get sound working with ICH10?
[05:22] <PeterFA> I had it kind of working, it was very very choppy.
[05:22] <Nic_> sacarlson: IT WORKS :O
[05:23] <TiK> PeterFA: if you post an alsa bug they usually get back to you
[05:23] <sacarlson> Nic_:  what the key sequece?
[05:23] <Nic_> Kinda freaky, but yeah, it worked instantly
[05:23] <TiK> PeterFA: quickly
[05:23] <PeterFA> TiK, well, I'm not there yet.
[05:23] <PeterFA> I need to get started troubleshooting this but I'm not good at ALSA stuff.
[05:23] <itsux2bu> is there anything in 32-bit ubuntu server that captures screen output during boot up?  i see a red dot but screen clears too quickly to see text next to it..
[05:24] <Nic_> sacarlson: Exactly what the bot said
[05:24] <sacarlson> Nic_:  so at what state is it in now grapic or console
[05:24] <TiK> PeterFA: "ubuntu-bug" ut I can try to help you out too
[05:24] <PeterFA> TiK, what's "ubuntu-bug"
[05:24] <TiK> PeterFA: in the console type aplay -l
[05:24] <TiK> PeterFA: type it in console
[05:24] <Nic_> sacarlson: It is starting from the LiveCD right now
[05:24] <tazmania> I have ubuntu-netbook installed via wubi and would like to install ncurses.  I tried sudo apt-get install ncurses but it said Package ncurses is not available... What do I need to install ncurses?
[05:24] <Nic_> Like I was told to :P
[05:25] <Nic_> Ok, I am in the liveCD, what did you guys want again?
[05:25] <Nic_> Something about "lspci | grep VGA"
[05:25] <sacarlson> nic_ oh I thought that key sequence was going to get control of something so all it does is reboot?
[05:25] <TiK> Nic_: it boots a like cd but not an installed ubuntu?
[05:25] <PeterFA> card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]; and card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital], tik
[05:25] <Nic_> Yep, even when it is frozen
[05:25] <TiK> PeterFA: 1 sec
[05:26] <Andorin> So it appears that sometimes, when I boot my Lucid box, USB devices will not automount when plugged in... and other partitions on my HDD don't appear in the Places menu. Any reason for this?
[05:26] <Nic_> TiK: You told me to go into the live CD for some "lspci | grep VGA" thing
[05:26] <TiK> Nic_: no i didn't
[05:26] <sacarlson> nic_: yes and record that for future also.  pastbin it and bookmark it in your working system
[05:26] <Nic_> No, wait, that was Jordan_U
[05:27] <Nic_> Jordan_U: "<Jordan_U> Nic_: Ok, reboot using the instructions ubottu is about to give you then run "lspci | grep VGA" from the LiveCD."
[05:27] <patrrick> how do i open ports on xubuntu for transmission
[05:27] <Nic_> How do I run "lspci | grep VGA"
[05:27] <sacarlson> Nic_:  from a terminal
[05:27] <Jordan_U> !terminal | Nic_
[05:27] <Nic_> Ok
[05:27] <ntiy> how can I (if I can at all) get full "remote desktop" with "ssh -X" ?
[05:27] <Nic_> I know how to use the terminal :P
[05:28] <ntiy> I thought : ssh -X ==> xterm ==> startx
[05:28] <Jordan_U> ntiy: gnome-session
[05:28] <itsux2bu> is there anything in 32-bit ubuntu server that captures screen output during boot up?  i see a red dot but screen clears too quickly to see text next to it..  or does ubuntu keep any boot logs?
[05:28] <Junior49MI> hello everyone - can some one help me with.... Kodak printer driver's? Or the lack there of?
[05:28] <TiK> PeterFA: http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-69570.html
[05:29] <sacarlson> itsux2bu: some stuf at boot is saved to /var/log/syslog file
[05:29] <thune3> tazmania: you can run "apt-cache search --names-only ncurses" and see the available package names. i'm not sure what you want exactly
[05:29] <PeterFA> TiK, do you think I have a Sigmatel?
[05:29] <ntiy> what if there is gnome session started on remote machine already? will it work?
[05:29] <TiK> PeterFA: you have the  STAC92xx audio chipset
[05:29] <tazmania> thune3: thanks I think I've got it - libncurses5-dev
[05:29] <Junior49MI> Kodak printer driver's anybody have any issues with printer drivers
[05:30] <KE1HA> tazmania:  yes, that's it, you need the -dev

[05:31] <Junior49MI> nobody has any information on drivers' for Kodak printers
[05:31] <Jordan_U> Nic_: Is the text / Ubuntu logo at boot using the full resolution of your screen?
[05:31] <TiK> Nic_: doesnt help me any I don't t undestand why you can boot a livecd and not an ubutu install I don't think  it has anything to do with your video card
[05:31] <merma> until when will 9.04 be maintained?
[05:31] <KE1HA> tazmania:  just install build-essential should pull all the deps for you.
[05:31] <Nic_> On liveCd or normal?
[05:32] <Nic_> It was not using the full resolution, if I recall correctly
[05:32] <KE1HA> tazmania:  you'll nee the linunx-headers if you dont already have them installed: apt-get install linux-headers-$(unamr -r)
[05:32] <systm_> my mic doesn't seem to be working properly, i have a dv3-1075us, it have sound and everything working but it don't get mic in

[05:33] <Junior49MI> printer drivers? anybody have any info on Kodak printer drivers? I need help please
[05:33] <TiK> systm_: you will prob have to change your modem in asla-base.conf or something type aplay -l
[05:33] <Nic_> :\
[05:33] <systm_> TiK, I was hoping that was fixed
[05:34] <TiK> systm_: dunno type ubuntu-bug and the pros will help you ;)
[05:34] <Junior49MI> printer drivers? anybody have any info on Kodak printer drivers? I need help please
[05:34] <sacarlson> Nic_:  well I googled it and I don't see anyone with big problems like you
[05:34] <TiK> sacarlson: i doubt it's his video card
[05:34] <Nic_> Is it possible to mount my drive, save my home folder, install ubuntu from the live CD and keep the home folder like it was?
[05:34] <TiK> seeing as though a livecd boots
[05:35] <Junior49MI> printer drivers? anybody have any info on Kodak printer drivers? I need help please
[05:35] <TiK> Nic_: yes
[05:35] <Nic_> It is?
[05:35] <TiK> Nic_: create a patition for /home
[05:35] <sacarlson> TiK: well it was booting before it was the upgrade that killed it.
[05:35] <Nic_> I don't have any backup Cd's so that would be nice
[05:35] <kreeper> how do i start up my computer to a login shell?
[05:35] <TiK> sacarlson: what upgrade?
[05:35] <Nic_> Honestly, I want to know if it is possible to try it with linux mint?
[05:35] <TiK> sacarlson: the kernel update?
[05:35] <Nic_> My friend uses mint, and I have always wanted to give a shot anyway
[05:36] <Junior49MI> printer drivers? anybody have any info on Kodak printer drivers? I need help please
[05:36] <Nic_> Dont call me a traitor :P
[05:36] <AndrewMC> !patience | Junior49MI
[05:36] <TiK> Nic: mint is nice
[05:36] <MIH1406> Hi, I have a problem using starting Ubuntu
[05:36] <Nic_> And I can still do the partition thing?
[05:36] <TiK> Nic: and the developer ikey is a cool guy
[05:36] <bazhang> Junior49MI, linuxprinting.org check there
[05:36] <Nic_> Make a partition for my home folder and then install mint like normal?
[05:36] <sacarlson> Nic_: TiK: I'm not sure just a standard update,  not sure what was changed but she has tried the older kernels and still fails to boot.  I'm not sure what was changed.
[05:37] <TiK> Nic: yes but make sure you dont format that partition
[05:37] <Nic_> I mean, I was going to try mint sooner or later anyway
[05:37] <Nic_> How would I make that partition?
[05:37] <Junior49MI> thank you bazhang and sorry for sounding so insistent. :-)
[05:37] <Nic_> I am gonna go to bed in a second, but I need ot know that much
[05:37] <bazhang> Junior49MI, welcome
[05:37] <TiK> Nic: gparted.. resize
[05:37] <Nic_> *to
[05:37] <MIH1406> I have restarted Ubuntu and I got a message from BusyBox
[05:38] <sacarlson> Nic_:  I'm not sure what mint is but you should at least backup your /home/account  to maybe a flash drive or something before you play with patitions
[05:38] <Nic_> Does the live CD come with gparted?
[05:38] <sacarlson> Nic_:  yes it does
[05:38] <TiK> sacarlson: mint is ubuntu with codec's allready installs and it looks like windows
[05:38] <AndrewMC> TiK: Nic_ if you plan to go from ubuntu to mint you will have to format that /home or else the menus and theme get really messed up
[05:39] <TiK> AndrewMC: not if yo just keep the needed files and don't copy everything
[05:39] <Nic_> All I want to do is save my music and such
[05:39] <Nic_> I dont want to keep everything
[05:39] <sacarlson> tik: well try the mint boot disk see if it boots first then I'm all for that,  but I would hate to see you loose your /home/dir
[05:39] <systm> TiK, how to i do ubuntu_bug
[05:39] <thune3> MIH1406: do you make any changes to your system before this  behavior appeared?

[05:41] <sacarlson> nic_ oh music that might be big.  maybe too big for a flash disk.  just backup you home work and repartition you music files
[05:41] <TiK> Nic_: that is up too you :P
[05:41] <Guest65561> HERE IS NOON ,I AM IN CHINA
[05:41] <sacarlson> nic_: I'm always smarter in the morning
[05:41] <TiK> Nic_: yeah if you are moving to ubuntu you don't want to take the whole home dir with you
[05:41] <MIH1406> thune3: No I got "Error were found while checking the disk for drive /"
[05:42] <MIH1406> F to fix, I to Ignore S to skip or M to manual...

[05:43] <MIH1406> Nic: Upload them to Internet

[05:44] <Nic_> Ubuntu One?
[05:44] <Nic_> How much storage does that have?
[05:44] <sacarlson> nic_ MIH1406: there you go email them to yourself if they are important
[05:45] <Nic_> All I really need are my media files, I just want to bring them with me to Linux Mint
[05:45] <MIH1406> sacarlson: you are right
[05:45] <KE1HA> Nic_:  I think Ubuntu one basic account is 2MB but need to check.
[05:45] <Nic_> I dont have any CDs or something for backup
[05:45] <sacarlson> Nic_: well my email on yahoo has about 4gig I think but I don't think you want to use that much
[05:45] <MIH1406> are they very huge files?
[05:45] <Nic_> 2MB is not enough for all my music!
[05:45] <Nic_> I have A LOT of music, all in FLAC
[05:45] <Nic_> So, yeah, big size
[05:46] <xangua> KE1HA Nic: don't you mean 2GB ¿ :S
[05:46] <Nic_> Hmmm
[05:46] <KE1HA> Nic_:  Its 2GB, not 2MB, new it was 2 somthign :-)
[05:47] <Nic_> Still, 2GB is not enough, I think
[05:47] <Nic_> Let me check how big my music and video folders are
[05:47] <KE1HA> 50GB if ya do the Upgraded package.
[05:47] <xangua> Nic_: if you don't have cd's/dvd's or a flash memory go to buy them ;)
[05:47] <MIH1406> xangua: I agree
[05:48] <sacarlson> Nic_:  it would take way to long to send 2gig up to the internet.  like maybe 2 days?  but if you have time.
[05:48] <KE1HA> Nic_:  well, fer the price of a USB key, you can get a short term UB-One upgrade, then canx when your done using it.

[05:49] <kalle_> can i turn off joins in xchat ?
[05:49] <MIH1406> Nic_: do not try anything untill you backup them.
[05:49] <Nic_> How am I gonna back them up?????
[05:49] <sacarlson> Nic_: well that would take you about 40 days to move onto the internet if you had a place to put it there.
[05:49] <Jordan_U> Nic_: You can re-install without losing the files in /home, but you would need to be carefull and you really shouldn't have important files that aren't backed up in any situation.
[05:49] <kreeper> also how do i load a program from a shell?
[05:50] <Nic_> Do you think Partition is the best option, or backup, or what?? :(
[05:50] <KE1HA> kreeper:  what do you men by upload a login ?
[05:50] <itsux2bu> is there a key that pauses the screen during boot up?

[05:53] <Loshki> Nic_: if you have access to a dvd burner, 21G should take up about a half dozen dvds...
[05:53] <itsux2bu> kreeper, you ever used the linux/ubuntu command line?
[05:53] <MIH1406> thune3: Yes I have just rememberd, I disabled Bluetooth
[05:53] <Nic_> It seems like what makes the most sense is to partition my home folder, install Mint, and then take what I want and put it into mint
[05:53] <Jordan_U> Nic_: I think the best option is to back up anything really important then go to sleep and decide what to do tomorrow (honestly). But know that you can re-install without repartitioning and without losing your files, you just have to use manual partitioning in the installer and be absolutely sure that the "format partition" box is *not* checked.
[05:54] <kreeper> itsux2bu: a little, i wanna be able to start up in it so i can get more used to it, i also have a few manuals on it.
[05:54] <thune3> MIH1406: how?
[05:54] <Nic_> Seems like I could do the same with mint, right? Mint is based on ubuntu
[05:54] <MIH1406> using a button on my laptop
[05:54] <Jordan_U> Nic_: I wouldn't install mint, simply because Ubuntu has better support (e.g. this channel).
[05:54] <itsux2bu> i just went through what your trying to do..
[05:55] <MIH1406> thune3: Thank you I started my Ubuntu now
[05:55] <feodor> I find it funny that ubuntu boots about ~45 seconds faster than my minimal gentoo box
[05:55] <Nic_> I think partition makes WAY more sense than a billion DVDs or paying for 50gbs of online storage
[05:55] <thune3> MIH1406: seriously?
[05:55] <Nic_> Jordan_U: Mint has an IRC too :3
[05:55] <kreeper> how did u do it?
[05:55] <Jordan_U> Nic_: Again, you don't need to repartition.
[05:55] <administrator_> 天哪，
[05:56] <MIH1406> thune3: Yes I got a message to fix the Error or to Ignore it I checked F to fix
[05:56] <MIH1406> thune3: Everything is fine now
[05:56] <sacarlson> Nic_: I found this people sound like same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470871
[05:56] <Nic_> Ok, so let me get this straight: Tommorow morning, I am gonna install mint, NOT format my existing partition, and then get everything I want onto the mint part?
[05:57] <Jordan_U> Nic_: Yes, but they don't have as many people available giving support (which is why we often see mint users try to ask for support here).
[05:57] <itsux2bu> kreeper, try..     sudo nano /etc/init/gdm.conf then look for Start and add  'never and ' inside the parens.
[05:57] <Nic_> Ehhh, I don't mind much, I rarely need support (this is my first time in this chat and I have used ubuntu for a while :P)
[05:58] <Jordan_U> Nic_: I would install Ubuntu using manual partitioning, choose the existing partition for "/", make sure it's not checked to be reformatted, and then you don't need to copy any files (they'll still be there). That is if you decide to re-install.
[05:58] <dmex> !chinese | administrator_
[05:58] <ruro> hey guys I'm trying to mount an SD card
[05:58] <Nic_> But that plan that I said before makes sense?
[05:58] <ruro> I know the SD card has some relation to /dev/bus/usb/001/013
[05:58] <itsux2bu> kreeper, without the '   '  single quotes
[05:58] <Nic_> I am definatley going to reinstall
[05:59] <Nic_> I dont want to try fixing that anymore, I needed a fresh start anyways
[05:59] <sacarlson> Nic_: as far as I know even if you don't reformat you will loose your /home/account unless you move it to another partition that you don't let the mint or other install touch
[05:59] <Nic_> And I have been wanting to try mint
[05:59] <Nic_> I see...
[05:59] <KE1HA> kreeper:  if you want to permanently boot to console mode, you can remove the gnome-desktop and GDM, that's puts you in console every boot.
[05:59] <kreeper> ok brb
[06:00] <wombatguy> I tried it but I don't think it adds much but it is a simpler beginning then ubuntu
[06:00] <Nic_> So, first I have to created a new partition with all my music, movies, etc, then install mint, then make everything one partition, right?
[06:00] <wombatguy> but if you are this far on ubuntu then you don't probably need it
[06:00] <sacarlson> Nic_:  I think that link above started to move into modiry the xorg.conf file that was my secound choice.
[06:00] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: No, that's not true if you use manual partitioning and don't select that the partition should be formatted.
[06:00] <kreeper> can i load up console after that?
[06:00] <itsux2bu> hey OPs, why can't the bot messages be sent in private to the person they are ment for, instead of cluttering the channel?
[06:00] <KE1HA> kreeper:  or alternatively, install VirtualBox, and build a command line only install.
[06:00] <kreeper> brb
[06:01] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: that's assuming there is another partition on the disk to install another system or resize and create another.
[06:01] <xangua> !hi > itsux2bu
[06:01] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: No, it's not.
[06:01] <Nic_> I just want to get a plan straight before going to bed!
[06:01] <itsux2bu> KE1HA, i have one each..  desktop vbox, server vbox
[06:01] <elitexray> Is there a business idiom generator on ubuntu software center?
[06:01] <makumba> Hi
[06:01] <Nic_> So, new partition, install mint, then fix, right?
[06:01] <Nic_> Would that actually work?
[06:02] <KE1HA> itsux2bu:  I've got buch of them as well LTSP's servers, all sorts.
[06:02] <Jordan_U> Nic_: That would work, but the new partition is unnecessary.
[06:02] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: ok cool, I'll try that in virtualbox and see.  as long as the user name you create at install maybe it would work.
[06:02] <Nic_> Jordan_U: It is?
[06:02] <Nic_> So, install Mint, when it gives me a choice of partion, I pick _________________________
[06:03] <Nic_> What is the blank?
[06:03] <Jordan_U> Nic_: I don't know Mint's installer :)
[06:03] <Nic_> Mint is very much like Ubuntu, Jordan_U
[06:03] <kreeper> itsux2bu:  add 'never and' where it says start up ( filesystem ?
[06:03] <Nic_> So what would you do in ubuntu in that case, then?
[06:04] <AndrewMC> Nic_: Yes
[06:04] <KE1HA> Just a thought, but you may want to select, install the side-by-side option.
[06:04] <itsux2bu> kreeper, i think so.. let me check my file.. hold..  brb
[06:04] <Jordan_U> Nic_: I know, and insturctions for one usually apply to the other. The problem comes when they don't :)
[06:04] <KE1HA> That, in theory, should give you a dual boot from mint, with Grub2 then installed on the mint partition.
[06:05] <Nic_> So, assuming I am installing ubuntu, and it gets to the part where I pick partitions, what do I chose?
[06:05] <Nic_> I know DONT format
[06:05] <Nic_> Side by side might work...
[06:05] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: nic_: so jordan_U what she asked is what would you try in Ubuntu to try to fix this?
[06:06] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: And I already told her that :)
[06:06] <Nic_> So I should dual boot it?
[06:06] <Nic_> And then after I have got my music onto the new install, I can reformat the old one?
[06:06] <Jordan_U> Nic_: Like I said before, you choose manual partitioning, select your current root partition to have the mount point "/" make sure that "format" is unchecked.
[06:07] <Nic_> Ahhh, so it would add a whole new directory to the existing partition...
[06:07] <Nic_> I see what you mean
[06:07] <Nic_> At least, I think :3
[06:08] <itsux2bu> kreeper, yes..
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Nic_: Not quite, it overwrites all system directories (i.e. everything but /home).
[06:08] <kreeper> ok thx brb
[06:08] <Nic_> How would it know to overwrite everything BUT home?
[06:09] <i_is_broke> how well does win 7 run under vbox?
[06:09] <ntiy> how do you connect to wireless from terminal?
[06:09] <Nic_> Ugh, I am gonna go to bed now, hopefully things will make more sense in the morning :3
[06:10] <Nic_> Goodnight :)
[06:10] <ntiy> how do you connect to wireless from the terminal (sorry pressed wrong key)
[06:10] <ntiy> ?
[06:10] <elitexray> Hi, my ubuntu just crashed again
[06:11] <ntiy> hi. sorry (
[06:11] <sacarlson> nic_ nite
[06:11] <elitexray> :(
[06:11] <elitexray> I want to know why my computer would do that
[06:12] <elitexray> my computer would freeze on this chatroom
[06:12] <elitexray> and i'd end up unplugging my laptop for a retard
[06:12] <BiL> Any one know how to setup multiple system (XP, Ubuntu)
[06:12] <elitexray> restart*
[06:12] <elitexray> AS
[06:12] <elitexray> d
[06:12] <elitexray> oops.
[06:13] <[Screamo]> Anyway to get 10.04s disk utility on 9.10?
[06:13] <itsux2bu> bil, have you looked into Virtualbox?
[06:13] <BiL> Not yet
[06:13] <dmex> !dualboot | BiL
[06:13] <BiL> Yes, dmex
[06:13] <BiL> Thx, ubottu
[06:13] <itsux2bu> bil, look into Virtualbox
[06:13] <KE1HA> BiL:  loads of people do, but like itsux2bu said, Vbox is a good option. Here's DB Link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[06:14] <kreeper> itsux2bu: it worked, thx, but i have one more question. how do i load cli programs in tty mde?
[06:14] <kreeper> ^mode
[06:14] <elitexray> Is there a ctrl alt delete function to cancel out a frozen program like you can on windows ?
[06:14] <itsux2bu> kreeper, i was just abou to tell you
[06:14] <dmex> !virtualbox | BiL
[06:14] <kreeper> ok
[06:14] <[Screamo]> elitexray, add "force quit" to panel
[06:14] <itsux2bu> kreeper, wait.. what the question?
[06:15] <KE1HA> elitexray:  in a console, pkill, kill, killall
[06:15] <kreeper> how do i load a program in cli
[06:15] <elitexray> What if my computer froze the panel as well?
[06:15] <elitexray> I had terminal on my panel but i couldn't open it since everything froze.
[06:15] <BiL> How to install a IRC client in ubuntu?
[06:15] <[Screamo]> hmm
[06:15] <dmex> !irc | BiL
[06:15] <elitexray> And it all happened when isuddenly hilighted a dialogue in this chatroom
[06:16] <[Screamo]> elitexray, does it ever unfreeze?
[06:16] <KE1HA> kreeper: upload a program, what are you trying to do in the command line?
[06:16] <elitexray> nope
[06:16] <itsux2bu> usually just type it with corrent parameters.. and press enter
[06:16] <kreeper> i didnt say upload i said load
[06:16] <elitexray> it stops frozen and i can type in this dialoge except cannot enter what I've typed
[06:16] <[Screamo]> hmm
[06:16] <[Screamo]> sounds like your window manager froze
[06:16] <itsux2bu> kreeper, example?
[06:16] <elitexray> i had to unplug my laptop .. yeah seems  like it
[06:17] <[Screamo]> well
[06:17] <elitexray> how do i prevent this from happening?
[06:17] <[Screamo]> dunno
[06:17] <kreeper> itsux2bu: so if its on cd rom then is it e:\setup.exe?
[06:17] <KE1HA> kreeper:  ok, well we need more details on what your trying to accomplish before we cna give you a good answer.
[06:17] <[Screamo]> you would have to troubleshoot it
[06:17] <dmex> [Screamo] Alt+F key to switch into a console?
[06:17] <itsux2bu> kreeper, oh  install programs
[06:17] <elitexray> thanks screamo
[06:17] <kreeper> itsux2bu: yes
[06:17] <[Screamo]> dmex, idr wich one :\
[06:18] <dmex> elitexray: your desktop still frozen?
[06:18] <[Screamo]> elitexray, install an ssh server on it and next time it freezes see if you can ssh into it
[06:18] <itsux2bu> kreeper, the usual method to install programs in ubuntu is a command called   apt-get
[06:18] <elitexray> no, I had to unplug my laptop
[06:19] <itsux2bu> kreeper, something like..  sudo apt-get install thegreatestprogramever
[06:19] <theadmin> Is this a proper command to make /opt/lampp/lampp run at start? "update-rc.d /opt/lampp/lampp start 99 1 2 3 4 5 . stop 01 0 6"
[06:19] <itsux2bu> kreeper, start with learning    man..
[06:19] <kreeper> yes but i'm trying to install win 95 along side ubuntu and i have the disk, but i have to be in cli for that.
[06:19] <elitexray> this has been happening to me for a while. So im wondering if anyone have had similar issues
[06:19] <itsux2bu> kreeper, as in man sudo
[06:20] <itsux2bu> kreeper, as in man man
[06:20] <Loshki> BiL: if you have firefox, you can install the chatzilla add-on. It's an irc client and it's pretty good for casual use...
[06:20] <itsux2bu> kreeper, as in man nano
[06:20] <itsux2bu> kreeper, etc
[06:20] <itsux2bu> kreeper, oh.. another OS..
[06:20] <kreeper> itsux2bu: yes but what man page would it be to access non ubuntu programs?
[06:20] <kreeper> yes
[06:21] <kalle_> howto setup my hostname ?
[06:21] <dmex> kreeper: win95, seriously?
[06:21] <elitexray> that's good information for windows user @ Loshki
[06:21] <itsux2bu> kreeper, thats a big can of worms..
[06:21] <theadmin> kalle_: echo "new hostname" > /etc/hostname
[06:21] <DGnome> Hi! Can the MOTD (at login) be disabled in ubuntu server, or atleast the part that checks for outdated packages?
[06:21] <itsux2bu> kreeper, yea.. why 95?
[06:21] <kreeper> lol yeah i've had alot of people ask that
[06:21] <kalle_> thanx
[06:21] <KE1HA> theadmin:  try: sudo update-rc.d /opt/lampp/lampp defaults
[06:21] <kreeper> i need it for certain windows files i have
[06:21] <itsux2bu> kreeper. only legal version of windows you got?
[06:22] <Loshki> elitexray: I use it on linux :-)
[06:22] <kalle_> so i just need a name ?
[06:22] <kreeper> yes
[06:22] <theadmin> KE1HA: defaults don't start it on  runlevel 1 which is weird
[06:22] <itsux2bu> kreeper, you got programs that only work on 95?
[06:22] <theadmin> KE1HA: But is the overall format fine? Or must the script be in /etc/init.d?
[06:22] <elitexray> so you chat directly on ff browser ?
[06:22] <elitexray> @Loshki
[06:22] <dougb_freebsd> thune3: ping
[06:22] <kalle_> mysql cant seem to connect to my hostname ?
[06:22] <KE1HA> theadmin:  true, most dont want services to start on -1, but 2 thru 6 are the same on UB.
[06:22] <theadmin> kalle_: After you're done you probably would have to reboot so it takes effect
[06:23] <kreeper> they work on 95 to xp but 95 is easer to get my hands on
[06:23] <theadmin> KE1HA: I see. But still. Can the script be anywhere or must it be /etc/init.d? The manpage is confusing
[06:23] <itsux2bu> kreeper, dude you need new programs.. or are these like old programs the company you work for won't update?
[06:23] <dmex> elitexray: to switch to console hold CTRL+Alt+F1
[06:23] <kalle_> mysql_install_db
[06:23] <kalle_> Neither host 'acer' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with
[06:23] <kalle_> /usr/bin/resolveip
[06:23] <kalle_> Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct
[06:23] <kalle_> hostname.
[06:23] <FloodBot3> kalle_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:23] <dmex> elitexray: to switch back use Ctrl+Alt+F7
[06:24] <dmex> elitexray: in console you can kill the problem process
[06:24] <mae_tae> hello people, how do i define in our DNS server (zone file) that google apps mail?
[06:24] <kreeper> no they're newer but newer windows cost money and i'm currently unemployed
[06:24] <Loshki> elitexray: I'm using it to type this. It opens a separate window for irc chat and it knows about the most popular servers and the defaults seem really reasonable. My 2nd choice for more serious irc-ing would be xchat...
[06:24] <KE1HA> theadmin:  Yeah, just point to where the script / service is that you want I would think. I always put them in init.d
[06:24] <itsux2bu> kreeper, i'd look into Virtualbox
[06:24] <theadmin> KE1HA: Well... When I will be back home, I'll try both variations
[06:24] <kreeper> sudo apt-get install virtualbox?
[06:24] <theadmin> kreeper: it is "virtualbox-ose"
[06:25] <theadmin> KE1HA: Thanks for the help
[06:25] <itsux2bu> kreeper, no.. it allows multiple OSes to run at the same time
[06:25] <KE1HA> theadmin: roger that, you can always remove it.
[06:25] <dmex> !virtualbox | kreeper
[06:25] <Zanzabar> sorry to interupt but has anyone developed robots for torcs racing simulator on ubuntu? I tried but I failed :( Thought that I could talk with someone and figure out what I was doing wrong
[06:26] <kreeper> ok i'll check it out, i g2g though but i'll bbl
[06:26] <kreeper> see u all later
[06:26] <graphitemaster> if i wanted to join ubuntu-dev to write applications to make the OS more user friendly, do i have to use gtk+ or can I use wxWidgets
[06:26] <kreeper> peace
[06:26] <dmex> Zanzabar: try the forum ;)
[06:26] <elitexray> I had to unplug my laptop again
[06:26] <itsux2bu> kreeper, what OS does your PC boot with now?
[06:26] <elitexray> @dmex
[06:26] <kreeper> ubuntu
[06:26] <graphitemaster> like what are the ruls of ubuntu dev period, am I allowed to use C++ or does it have to be C only?
[06:26] <elitexray> I did crtl alt f1  --- that took me to a black login screen
[06:27] <elitexray> i couldn't get out of it
[06:27] <elitexray> i feel like i got played
[06:27] <dmex> ..
[06:27] <kreeper> y?
[06:27] <dmex> you could have logged in?
[06:27] <elitexray> yeah
[06:27] <elitexray> i entered my pw
[06:27] <elitexray> and it wouldn't take me out
[06:27] <KE1HA> graphitemaster:  to my knowledge, there's C, C++, GTK Python and menay others, just depends on the app I think.
[06:27] <dmex> elitexray: take you out from where?
[06:28] <elitexray> to bring me back to here
[06:28] <KE1HA> many*
[06:28] <elitexray> It was stuck in a black vortex
[06:28] <kreeper> i'll bbl
[06:28] <graphitemaster> KE1HA, I was thinking like I would like to use wxWidgets, but idk..
[06:28] <Loshki> Zanzabar: I've never seen anyone talk about this here. Have you tried their torcs-user mailing list & boards?
[06:28] <itsux2bu> kreeper, i have the opposite.. my computer boots with Vista (called Host OS) and i installed in a Virtualbox virtual machine or guest OS Ubuntu
[06:28] <elitexray> oh wait
[06:28] <elitexray> i missed ctrl alt f7
[06:29] <KE1HA> You've could browes the ubuntu-dev wiki, or launchpad, and e-mail a few of them, they can answer much better than I can.
[06:29] <MatBoy> what is the way to upgrade my testserver to the testing branche ?
[06:30] <elitexray> thanks @ dmex, now i know the useful of that command
[06:30] <KE1HA> graphitemaster:  also, check in #ubuntu-devel   there's a few folks in there at the moment.
[06:30] <elitexray> It's like a full screen terminal
[06:31] <dmex> elitexray: yes, there are a few different 'virtual desktop' sessions you can use
[06:31] <elitexray> can you also give me the kill command as well?
[06:31] <elitexray> apt-get kill ?
[06:31] <elitexray> wait nm
[06:31] <elitexray> i know how to di t
[06:32] <elitexray> thanks again, that will be very useful in the future
[06:32] <dmex> elitexray: hold up
[06:33] <kalle_> is there a good detailed mysql info someplace ? it seems very hard to get working
[06:33] <dmex> !mysql | kalle_
[06:34] <elitexray> I actually think this ctrl alt f1 feature is neat. It makes me feel like a professional :)
[06:34] <graphitemaster> elitexray, try ctrl+alt f2
[06:34] <dhruvasagar> Hi, I am facing a weird problem in my ubuntu 10.04, on startup the windows borders are missing and windows come up at the left side corner only, I can't move, close, minimise or maximise them. The only fix I have found is every startup I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects I select Extra and then it comes back to normalcy
[06:34] <graphitemaster> and then f3
[06:34] <graphitemaster> and f4
[06:34] <graphitemaster> multitasking....
[06:34] <kalle_> i said detailed, that info is useless, i also found a few 1000 others that get the same errors i get but no solve for them
[06:34] <FloodBot3> graphitemaster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:34] <itsux2bu> kalle_, also  try   tasksel
[06:34] <graphitemaster> f7 exists you..
[06:34] <kalle_> hm tasksel ? what does that do ?
[06:34] <elitexray> what is the difference between f1 and f2?
[06:35] <elitexray> @dmex
[06:35] <phawx> I have a jailbroken 3gs running 4.0.1 fw.  Do i need to install anything from cydia to allow syncing with Banshee?
[06:35] <MatBoy> mhh, upgrading to meerkat doesn't seem easy
[06:35] <dmex> elitexray: different sessions
[06:35] <kalle_> and install the package again ?
[06:35] <dr_terrible> they open different ttys
[06:35] <dhruvasagar> anyone ?
[06:35] <Jordan_U> dhruvasagar: For some reason your window manager isn't starting, or is crashing, at login.
[06:35] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: which is the window manager, how do I check it ?
[06:36] <itsux2bu> kalle_, whats your problem?
[06:36] <dr_terrible> if you think ctrl alt Fx is something, try compiz with cube desktops :)
[06:36] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: at startup btw the Visual Effects go to 'None' automatically
[06:36] <dmex> elitexray: use the command top to list process info
[06:36] <kalle_> getting mysql to work and create a database
[06:36] <Loshki> kalle_: All I can suggest is to google 'mysql tutorial' --m there are tons of hits. Also try #mysql (569 users)
[06:36] <Jordan_U> dhruvasagar: When you have desktop effects selected the window manager is "compiz", when you have it set to none the window manager is "metacity".
[06:36] <kalle_> hm
[06:36] <elitexray> I'm not sure what that means @ dmex
[06:36] <kalle_> ok thanx
[06:37] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: I have compiz installed
[06:37] <itsux2bu> kalle_, you tried using   phpmyadmin  ?
[06:37] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: how do I check what's wrong with compiz ?
[06:37] <graphitemaster> elitexray, try pasting this :(){ :|:& };: into your console
[06:37] <Zanzabar> is anyone interested in Torcs Racing Simulator? I was looking to develop a robot and got lost in how to go about it. Just looking for some help & I have already tried all help I could find online.
[06:37] <Jordan_U> elitexray: DO not do gthat!
[06:37] <Jordan_U> !danger
[06:37] <elitexray> why
[06:37] <elitexray> what does it do
[06:37] <dmex> elitexray: typing 'top' into console will show the processes using the most
[06:37] <Jordan_U> !ops | graphitemaster
[06:37] <kalle_> no itsu, not sure what that does
[06:38] <jellow> kalle_: fork bomb
[06:38] <kalle_> im trying tasksel and lamp install now, hope it doesnt mess up apache and php
[06:38] <graphitemaster>  :(){ :|:& };: (is a perfectly safe command)
[06:38] <dmex> elitexray: no
[06:38] <Bouchi> does anyone knows how to compile ar9721.fw at backtrack ?
[06:38] <itsux2bu> kalle_, meet me in mysql
[06:38] <elitexray> I've typed top and I get a long list. However I cannot do anything about it
[06:38] <itsux2bu> #mysql
[06:39] <graphitemaster> sorry :/
[06:39] <elitexray>  :(){ :|:& }
[06:39] <kalle_>  #mysql :Cannot send to channel lol shy people
[06:39] <elitexray> what is that supposed to do when typed in terminal?
[06:39] <dr_terrible> err, could someone explain the thing with  :(){ :|:& } ?
[06:39] <graphitemaster> you need the ; and :
[06:39] <graphitemaster>  :(){ :|:& };:
[06:39] <graphitemaster> liek that, it's a fork bomb
[06:39] <rww> !danger
[06:39] <graphitemaster> to not run it
[06:39] <FloodBot3> graphitemaster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:39] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: any tips ?
[06:40] <elitexray> would that destroy my pc?
[06:40] <bazhang> elitexray, lets move on dont run it
[06:40] <elitexray> ok
[06:40] <dr_terrible> fork bomb? as in, forks infinitely or what?
[06:40] <itsux2bu> kalle_  mysql won't let you talk?
[06:40] <kalle_> what does it do ? recursive delete every file ?
[06:40] <dr_terrible> [i feel like such a noob]
[06:40] <Jordan_U> dhruvasagar: What happens if you go back to none? Do your window borders go away again?
[06:40] <Loshki> kalle_: some groups require you to register with irc before you can join/talk....
[06:40] <kalle_> yes itsu
[06:40] <Loshki> !register | kalle
[06:41] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: nope
[06:41] <itsux2bu> kalle_, you have to register your nick with nicksrv
[06:41] <itsux2bu> kalle_, you have to register your nick with nickserv
[06:41] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: I think compiz is crashing or something in the startup as you said...should I reinstall it ?
[06:41] <kalle_> mysql is not off topic, its still part of ubuntu to my knowledge
[06:41] <kalle_> cars or girls might be offtopic tho
[06:42] <kalle_> unless theyre modules of ubuntu
[06:42] <jellow> unless they run ubuntu :P
[06:42] <itsux2bu> its a database application that runs on many platforms
[06:42] <kalle_> quite a car can run ubuntu fine
[06:42] <cxj1988> qiute
[06:42] <kalle_> thats a good idea actually hm
[06:42] <IdleOne> kalle_: now you are offtopic
[06:43] <elitexray> thanks dmex, I figured out how to kill program with top infor
[06:43] <dr_terrible> dhruvasagar: If compiz crashes, you should check out the Xorg log file. That'll give you some kind of error to google.
[06:43] <Flannel> kalle_, dr_terrible: Yeah, it spawns a bunch of processes that consome all of your memory.
[06:43] <dhruvasagar> dr_terrible: cool i'll do that
[06:44] <xue> why I don't have my tty terminal
[06:44] <kalle_> oh is that all, then i can just buy more memory ;=)
[06:44] <dr_terrible> Flannel: well, that's not such a dangerous thing, i was hoping it was some smartass way to do rm -rf / or something :)
[06:45] <xue> why I don't have my tty terminal
[06:45] <kalle_> would that be a spoon bomb ? hehe
[06:45] <Flannel> dr_terrible: Please don't say that command here :)  And no, it does, however mean you have to restart.
[06:45] <Jordan_U> dhruvasagar: Could you file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug compiz"?
[06:45] <dr_terrible> Flannel: hehe, ok, i see what you mean, i'll try and watch my spells here)
[06:45] <itsux2bu> remove all files recursively?
[06:46] <elitexray> is there a way to do irc in the kind of environment like in ctrl alt f1?
[06:46] <xue> why I don't have my tty terminal,when I pree ctrl+alt_F1,it didn't display anything.
[06:46] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: ok i'll check that
[06:46] <elitexray> meaning, completely dark screen with only letters
[06:46] <mneptok> elitexray: irssi
[06:46] <elitexray> nice :)
[06:46] <dhruvasagar> dr_terrible: I am not seeing any specific thing inside the xorg log file that catches my eye
[06:46] <xue> elitexray, without letters
[06:46] <Bouchi> damn to TP-link TL-WN721n !!!
[06:47] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: wow! I didn't know filing bugs was that easy
[06:47] <dr_terrible> dhruvasagar: hmm.... So it doesn't say anything using words 'error' or 'failed' or something like that?
[06:47] <elitexray> wow so on irssi, you're basically running commands for every detailed operation
[06:47] <mneptok> elitexray: http://mneptok.com/irssi.png  <--- like that you mean?
[06:47] <jellow> elitexray: there are serveral termianlbased irc progs , for instance i use irssi + screen
[06:47] <dhruvasagar> dr_terrible: there is only 1 line on which we have an error, I can't tell how old that is, no other fail in the file
[06:48] <elitexray> honestly, irssi looks really intimidating
[06:48] <dmex> !irssi | elitexray
[06:48] <kalle_> is there  a good gui irc ?
[06:48] <jellow> elitexray: look at weechat
[06:48] <dr_terrible> dhruvasagar: what does the error say?
[06:48] <dougb_freebsd> pidgin works well for me
[06:49] <well_laid_lawn> xcaht ftw!
[06:49] <dr_terrible> kalle_: there are two fairly good - Xchat and xchat-gnome. the latter is simpler, the former is geekier)
[06:49] <elitexray> is weechat another client for irc
[06:50] <dhruvasagar> dr_terrible: there is a line mentioninig Markers for errors, that's the only occurance, there are no other lines with the error marker
[06:50] <kalle_> im running xchat but it seems to miss some settings, i cant get it to stop spouting join/quits and cant setup all colors the way i want, only the main window
[06:50] <Guest24382> l
[06:51] <Bouchi> Dose compat-wireless-2010-08-26 has " tl-wn721n " " ar9721.fw" usb driver ?
[06:52] <KE1HA> kalle_:  right click on the channel, then select hide join/part messages.
[06:52] <dr_terrible> dhruvasagar: usually the problems come up around video card drivers - long ago, I've had my share of problems with ATI drivers.
[06:52] <dhruvasagar> dr_terrible: I have nvidia
[06:52] <md-llyr> kalle_: right-click on the channel name > settings > hide join/part msgs
[06:53] <dougb_freebsd> xchat has a learning curve in that the settings are not always where you think they should be.  Try clicking/double-clicking/right-clicking on stuff at random
[06:53] <kalle_> hehe ok
[06:53] <dr_terrible> dhruvasagar: hmmm.... Try to google the most meaningful piece of this error line, other than that, I have no ideas right now)
[06:53] <dougb_freebsd> but if you just want to chat, I still recommend pidgin
[06:53] <zongo_> Hi Guys,
[06:54] <dhruvasagar> dr_terrible: what error line, there is no error line, there is just a line which describes the markers for the lines :), if there was a error it would start with (EE), which is the marker, there is a line in the beginning which mentions this fact
[06:54] <kalle_> hm after i used tasksel to install lamp i get access denied when running mysql, is that an improvement ?
[06:54] <droid|droid> umm
[06:54] <droid|droid> ?
[06:55] <kalle_> atleast now theres only one error hehe
[06:55] <zongo_> when I watch a movie with movie player, my unit does not go to sleep. When I watch TV on the internet, my unit goes to sleep. Why is that ?
[06:55] <jellow> kalle_: you have to run mysql -u root -p
[06:55] <KE1HA> kalle_:  You still need to add a user and pw to mysql I think.
[06:55] <itsux2bu> kalle_, did you give it a a password? don't repeat it here
[06:55] <droid|droid> ...
[06:55] <dr_terrible> dhruvasagar: oh, gee, my bad) just looked into my log - yeah, the markers.
[06:56] <shubbar> i cannot copy any file to my Kindle from ubuntu, it immediately disconnects it when trying to transfer a file
[06:56] <kron|k> su mount -o, rw /system rm -rf /
[06:56] <Jordan_U> !danger
[06:56] <droid|droid> zongo_: because the movie player doesnt like you
[06:56] <kalle_> i did add a user mysql
[06:56] <kalle_> do i run -u as root ?
[06:56] <droid|droid> anyways it wont work since the first word is wrong
[06:56] <droid|droid> :P
[06:57] <rww> IdleOne: you missed a *
[06:57] <logan_wolf> zongo_, because when you are watching tv on internet the video is streamed and has nothing to do with computer running
[06:57] <droid|droid> sigh
[06:57] <IdleOne> thank you rww
[06:57] <droid|droid> why op and deop yourself
[06:57] <logan_wolf> zongo_, the process identifies it as a state of idleness
[06:57] <logan_wolf> and hence go to sleep
[06:57] <zongo_> ok, thanks logan_wolf
[06:57] <itsux2bu> mysql -u <mysqlusernamehere> -p  <enter> (will ask for password?
[06:58] <itsux2bu> *)
[06:58] <logan_wolf> zongo_, you can always get these answers by just googling it
[06:58] <Jordan_U> !google | logan_wolf
[06:59] <kalle_> hm lol now i get access denied using password yes
[06:59] <logan_wolf> ubottu, k my mistake
[06:59] <logan_wolf> :P
[06:59] <logan_wolf> ubottu,
[07:00] <zongo_> logan_wolf, Google I think is only useful when you understand how linux is working. Hence the fact that you explained me the iddle state eventhough I was watching TV on the internet
[07:00] <mih1406> Hi, I have created a Folder in my Home folder and called it Projects then I changed its icon. But I cannot see the icon in the Open Dialog for applications. The I con changed only in Nautilus
[07:00] <Jordan_U> zongo_: You might want to use the "inhibit" applet (right click the pannel at the top/bottom of the screen and select "Add to panel").
[07:01] <mae_tae> hello people, how do i define in our DNS server (zone file) that google apps mail?
[07:01] <logan_wolf> zongo_, you  are always welcome at irc with your issues
[07:01] <logan_wolf> :)
[07:01] <logan_wolf> These kind of answers helped me alot to learn
[07:01] <itsux2bu> kalle_, there is a "master" user in mysql called  root ..  during install it should have asked you to assign root a password.. do you remember doing that?
[07:01] <someeeeee> i have no cd how do i instakl
[07:01] <Jordan_U> !install | someeeeee
[07:02] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: what do you mean "that google apps mail?"
[07:02] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: in other words, what are you trying to do with this dns change?
[07:02] <droid|droid> ?
[07:02] <zongo_> thanks for your answers Guys. I will do my best  to find answers on Google next time. As I do understand that it can be frustrating for you guys.
[07:02] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, yes
[07:02] <kalle_> hm my brain is turning to mush , i might have, it seems every user including root and superuser is denyed to mysql no matter the setting
[07:03] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, define that mx as part of our DNS
[07:03] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: so you have your own domain, and you want the MX record for your domain to be the google mail server?
[07:04] <kalle_> hm it did work for root weird
[07:04] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=33352
[07:04] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, yes exactly, how do i define it there, actually we had already account on google mail but when you try to send email, mailer daemon will return an error cause of DNS
[07:05] <itsux2bu> kalle_, you ever used  mysql  before?
[07:05] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, thanks
[07:05] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: I assume you already know how to edit your domain's zone file?
[07:06] <kalle_> nope
[07:07] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, yeah i know a little, but dont know to define those, hehee
[07:07] <itsux2bu> kalle_, every line has to end with ; before you hit enter
[07:07] <kalle_> when i logged in as mysql user and typed mysql -u root -p i didnt get error
[07:07] <tjor> I am running 10.04 on a usb drive. I want to mount another casper-rw file that I have backed up on a different usb drive so i can copy some files from it. Can someone tell me how to mount it?
[07:07] <KE1HA> kalle_:  phpmyadmin is a nice tool to learn and mess about with myqsl.
[07:07] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: so I have now filed a bug...
[07:07] <itsux2bu> kalle_,  and to quit..  quit;    i believe
[07:07] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: the web page I pasted should tell you what you need to know
[07:08] <Divecks> Hey all, are there glaring bugs in the latest (update-manager -d) build of Maverick? I'm installing it on my laptop (nothing important, just got it yesterday :D) Thanks! :D
[07:08] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, 'ive been to that site already, but i dont understand, it seems it is using other application to define that MX
[07:08] <rww> Divecks: Maverick discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1
[07:08] <itsux2bu> kalle_, phpmyadmin is a easy frontend to manage mysql databases with
[07:09] <Divecks> rww, Yeah I know, was just wondering if anyone here was using the build. Thanks though.
[07:09] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: do you have a console for your DNS administration, or do you have to edit the zone file itself?
[07:09] <bazhang> Divecks, no, as this is not the proper channel to discuss it in.
[07:09] <kalle_> hm it says its an error in php syntax, but now i get the mysql prompt that looks like the guide i was reading , maybe try some of the things there again
[07:09] <kalle_> like creating databases
[07:10] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, i just encode it using nano
[07:10] <dougb_freebsd> I don't understand what that means
[07:10] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, i just encode it from the console
[07:10] <Rikkie> Hi, anyone here know anything bout gwibber?
[07:11] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, yes i edit the zone file
[07:11] <jellow> ls
[07:11] <dougb_freebsd> so you are editing the zone file with a tool? Like vi or emacs?
[07:11] <jellow> ruby -v
[07:11] <jellow> ls
[07:11] <jellow> cd src
[07:11] <itsux2bu> dougb_freebsd, nano is a command line based text editor
[07:11] <jellow> cd Belgicano inode33
[07:11] <jellow> ls
[07:11] <dougb_freebsd> ah, ok, thanks itsux2bu
[07:11] <jellow> cd ..
[07:11] <jellow> ls
[07:11] <FloodBot3> jellow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:11] <bazhang> jellow, stop that
[07:11] <jellow> ./rub
[07:11] <jellow> ./rub-v
[07:11] <jellow> ruby
[07:12] <inode33> jellow: You're doing it wrong.
[07:12] <mih1406> How can I change folder's icon?
[07:12] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: are you using BIND?
[07:12] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, yes using nano
[07:12] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, yes im using bind9
[07:13] <KE1HA> mih1406:  right click on the folder, selsct properties, then click the icon on the properties box.
[07:13] <itsux2bu> kalle_, you do know you use phpmyadmin thru your browser?
[07:13] <kalle_> hm command not found
[07:14] <kalle_> but the create database said query ok
[07:14] <mih1406> KE1HA, I did that but the icon changed only in Nautilus main view. It is not change in bookmarks. (The folder is added in the bookmarks)
[07:15] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, DNS Error: Domain name not found <--- this is the error
[07:15] <KE1HA> mih1406:  ah, ok, that's a diffrent icon :-) I'll have to hunt for the bookmark icon.
[07:15] <mih1406> KE1HA, if i am in another applications and want to browse to that folder I see only the old icon.
[07:15] <josh_> HEY FAGGOTS<
[07:15] <mih1406> KE1HA, how?
[07:15] <KE1HA> mih1406:  I dont know right off, i've not chaged that before.
[07:16] <itsux2bu> kalle_, i had to do this to set up PHPMyAdmin under Apache.  include the following line in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.   Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf    use nano.. like this..  sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[07:16] <mih1406> KE1HA, also you will get the old icon if you browse using open dialog in firefox or any other application
[07:16] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ij0igRb9
[07:17] <itsux2bu> kalle_, than run your browser  and enter  localhost/phpmyadmin    i believe
[07:17] <KE1HA> mih1406:  ok, I still dont know how to change that one, it may be a theme icon, not sure.
[07:17] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, thanks, ill try it
[07:17] <kalle_> oh it runs from the web-browser hm
[07:18] <itsux2bu> kalle_, phpmyadmin?
[07:19] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd,  i used not define any domain name as like this    domain.com MX	1 	ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.?
[07:19] <itsux2bu> well its near 2:30 am here.. time to sleep..
[07:19] <Rikkie> who has time to take a look at my gwibber error log? I don't understand what the problem is, but i won't start : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/hfKh452a
[07:20] <kalle_> only 8.20 here too early for bed hehe
[07:20] <Rikkie> i=it
[07:20] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: that's hard to answer without seeing your zone file, you can pastebin that for me if you want to
[07:20] <mae_tae> k,
[07:20] <dougb_freebsd> if you put domain.com at the beginning of the line you have to put a dot at the end of the domain name
[07:20] <Jordan_U> dhruvasagar: What's the link to the bug? It should contain usefull logs.
[07:21] <itsux2bu> kalle_, norway?
[07:21] <dougb_freebsd> so:   domain.com. MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
[07:21] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625112
[07:21] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, will that OK, if i dont specify it there?
[07:21] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: I can't answer that without seeing how your zone file is organized, there is more than one way to do it
[07:22] <dougb_freebsd> basically, however the NS records for your domain name look, your MX records should look the same
[07:22] <kalle_> yeah , phpmyadmin runs a website with downloads and stuff ?
[07:22] <dougb_freebsd> put the MX records right below the NS records
[07:23] <kalle_> dont see any settings to change there ?
[07:23] <flowbee__> i cant hear any audio on my dvd playback in 10.04... help?
[07:23] <CaneToad> does anybody know why the ubuntu sort command returns rows not sorted in ascii order sometimes, while the solaris sort command works fine?  for example if you sort two lines without the quotation marks "./tabs-web" and "./tabs/src/conf" on ubuntu, you get "./tabs/src/conf" first, but on solaris you get the other one first??????????????????????????
[07:24] <dougb_freebsd> CaneToad: sounds like this could be a locale issue?
[07:25] <basncy> excuse me , when I run "sudo apt-get install somesoftware",it goes wrong,dpkg: warning: 'find' not found on PATH.
[07:25] <basncy> dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
[07:25] <basncy> NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
[07:25] <basncy> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[07:25] <basncy>  how can I solve this problem?
[07:25] <FloodBot3> basncy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:25] <CaneToad> dougb_freebsd: thanks...could you possibly elaborate a little more?
[07:25] <mae_tae> k, for a while

[07:29] <vaibhav1> resample.c:30:27: error: liboil/liboil.h: No such file or directory, but my headers are in /usr/include/liboil-0.3/ and object files are in /usr/lib/ . How I can resolve this...
[07:29] <mjwalker> shall i use Server one
[07:29] <dougb_freebsd> KE1HA: I have newly installed ubunto 10.04
[07:29] <dougb_freebsd> err
[07:29] <dougb_freebsd> ubuntu
[07:29] <dougb_freebsd> whatever you call it :)
[07:29] <KE1HA> hmm interesting.
[07:29] <brother> I have accidentaly deleted the panel, how to get it back
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> mjwalker: if you need a system with a mouse pointer and gui apps, install the desktop system
[07:30] <dougb_freebsd> oh, wait .... I actually set LC_ALL in my .bashrc file
[07:30] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, so there is no need to define that domain, is that so?
[07:30] <Jordan_U> !resetpanel | brother
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> !panelreset | brother
[07:30] <dougb_freebsd> KE1HA: I forgot that I restored my home directory to this system :)
[07:30] <itsux2bu> mjwalker, to be honest i have never used any mail server on ubuntu..
[07:30] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: no ... just load it in like I pasted it, run named-checkzone, and you should be good to go
[07:31] <Coded1> i need a hand with boot loaders, I have a 16GB Flash drive partitioned into 2 8GB drives.  One partition I loaded multiple ISO's for booting using this guide/utility http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/
[07:31] <KE1HA> dougb_freebsd:  Ok, that would explain it then :-)
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> mjwalker: you can install server services like mail servers on the desktop system
[07:31] <KB1JWQ> mjwalker: Yes.  Postfix + Dovecot tend to make a decent email stack.
[07:31] <AegNuddel> Is there any good vocoder software for Ubuntu/Linux?
[07:31] <mae_tae>  dougb_freebsd, thanks
[07:31] <itsux2bu> mjwalker, but i was going to say..  if your using the server version of ubuntu.. try running  tasksel  at the command line.. it should give you a mail server option
[07:31] <basncy> sacarlson, synaptic goes will,by the way,another problem,the scim inputmethod cann't started.it says:Failed to load X11 FrontEnd module.
[07:31] <Coded1> I installed ubuntu on the other but unsure how to add the ubuntu partition to the grub4dos menu on the first partition
[07:32] <mjwalker> itsux2bu : yes sure
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Coded1: there are guides how to make grub2 boot iso files
[07:32] <sacarlson> basncy: can you select customfilter>broken  in synaptic?  if you see broken stuf reinstall it and all it's dependencys
[07:33] <itsux2bu> mjwalker, but understand most *nix "servers" are command line driven..
[07:33] <basncy> sacarlson, I think there's something wrong with the PATH,when i run $PATH as root,it says:~# $PATH
[07:33] <basncy> -bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: No such file or directory
[07:33] <mjwalker> itsux2bu : what else i can do so
[07:33] <openros> i have a harddisk which i was using in a laptop with bios password. now if i use the same harddisk as external it is not recognized. lsusb shows it though
[07:33] <mjwalker>  itsux2bu do u have any other option
[07:33] <itsux2bu> mjwalker, that goes for   LAMP servers, OpenSSH servers, Samba servers.. ftp servers.. etc..
[07:34] <sacarlson> basncy: oh you not running xserver?  your at a console.  are you running a server or desktop install?
[07:34] <mjwalker> itsux2bu , but i want email server as in like Microsoft Exchange server
[07:34] <Aemaeth> hello everybody
[07:34] <itsux2bu> mjwalker, i can't speak for desktop apps
[07:34] <basncy> sacarlson, I'm running a desktop version
[07:35] <Coded1> openros, what does 'fdisk -l' give you?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Coded1: here is a grub.cfg to use parts from: http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB
[07:35] <sacarlson> basncy: in graphic mode?  in an xserver?
[07:35] <Coded1> ActionParsnip, ty buddy
[07:35] <openros> Coded1: its not showing in fdisk
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Coded1: not really ideal as new kernels in Ubuntu will destroy the changes you make
[07:35] <itsux2bu> mjwalker, you might find a GUI based mail server.. but finding one that emulates MS Exchange Server exactly is very doubtful
[07:35] <openros> Coded1, dmesg shows end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 4096
[07:36] <Coded1> openros, try opening it in gparted and see what it shows
[07:36] <sacarlson> basncy: do you see a pritty picture in the background?
[07:36] <openros> Coded1, I tried that, gparted is not detecting it
[07:37] <basncy> sacarlson, before such this happen,i have made a C deamon Programe ,and added it's path into /etc/rc.local,then reboot,this problem appeared.and next I remove the programe path form /etc/rc.local,the problem also exist.
[07:37] <itsux2bu> a *nix Mail Server should involve the same concepts.. but may present it on the screen differently or use different terms..
[07:37] <Coded1> openros, do a paste bin of lsusb if you can id like to check it out
[07:37] <TELL0> I wanna replace gnome-panel with AWN, but keeping the shortcuts for Run Application (Alt+F2), gnome menu and Ctrl+Alt+Del
[07:37] <Coded1> just the section that deals with the device is good enough
[07:38] <basncy> sacarlson, yes,background runs will
[07:38] <Aemaeth> is there a program for emulating webcam? streaming video to webcam dev
[07:38] <basncy> sacarlson, yes,background runs well
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> Coded1: better use this. It uses grub2 properly. http://ansi.interblc.com/2010/02/06/howto-boot-iso-images-via-grub2-with-ubuntu/
[07:38] <itsux2bu> mjwalker, MS tends to sugar coat and sppon feed its users.. *nix you tend to have to get down to lots of details..
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Coded1: changes in ubuntu will not kill the changes in grub.cfg as grub2 will know to readd the iso options :)
[07:39] <sacarlson> basncy: so synaptic dies before you can do anything?
[07:39] <itsux2bu> *spoon
[07:39] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, still no luck, i still receive mailer daemon
[07:39] <jellow> i just complied ruby from source , Where do i put the files now ?
[07:39] <Coded1> ActionParsnip, when I installed 10.04 on the stick the last option before it installed in Advanced, I unchecked "install boot loader" was worried it would overwrite the existing MBR/Loader
[07:39] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: I'm not sure what you mean
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> jellow: wherever: make install ,puts them. I suggest you use checkinstall to make a deb
[07:40] <openros> Coded1, lsusb output http://pastebin.com/ZeDGLXMZ
[07:40] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, when i send an email, i still receive mailer daemon, as if the message is not received on other end
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> Coded1: no problem, you can boot to livecd (or an existing ubuntu install) and install grub to the device
[07:40] <basncy> sacarlson, not synaptic,but also the command gcc ,find,etc  goes wrong,The program 'find' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:sudo ....
[07:41] <openros> Coded1, dmesg output http://pastebin.com/iVvTGhgf
[07:41] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: there are a whole list of steps you have to do after you successfully load the new zone :)
[07:41] <Coded1> openros, try lsusb -vv
[07:41] <Rikkie> who has time to take a look at my gwibber error log? I don't understand what the problem is, gwibber just won't start : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/hfKh452a
[07:41] <sacarlson> basncy: yes synaptic requires supper user.  from term to run synaptic it's  sudo synaptic  form there go to customfilter>broken and fix it
[07:41] <jellow> ActionParsnip: checkinstall?
[07:41] <jellow> ls
[07:41] <Coded1> ActionParsnip, im one step ahead of you thanks again
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> jellow: yes. It makes deb files from compiled source
[07:42] <jellow> ls
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> Coded1: glad to help :)
[07:42] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | basncy sacarlson
[07:42] <bazhang> jellow, this is not the terminal
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> Rikkie: try the gwibber in the proposed repo. I've heard it fixes things. Or use the daily build ppa
[07:42] <jellow> bazhang: yes oddly my other screen keeps outputting to this one :P
[07:43] <dougb_freebsd> mae_tae: first confirm that the zone is correctly loaded in the authoritative master server, then confirm that it was propogated to the slaves, then make sure the resolving name server that your desktop client is using has the new information
[07:43] <itsux2bu> whats the k in gksudo?
[07:43] <sacarlson> basncy: in this case both work gksudo synaptic ...
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> itsux2bu: I believe its a shortened gtk, to gk
[07:44] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: oh and your probly correct because I don't need a password that's the only reason it works for me.
[07:44] <openros> Coded1, output for that specific device http://pastebin.com/muHZe4Zm
[07:44] <Coded1> openros, its giving a medium error" in dmesg, it seems that the way the drive is formatted is proprietary, you'll notice it is assigned to sdb so it means the drive has been initialized and identified as a block device
[07:45] <Rikkie> @ActionParsnip: will do, thanks for the advice
[07:45] <openros> Coded1, so what should i do try to mount it
[07:46] <Coded1> openros, you can use something along the lines of : head /dev/sdb | strings | less and see if you can find anything intresting
[07:46] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: any clue ?
[07:46] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, hehe, its not really easy for me, aaahhhh, hehe
[07:46] <Jordan_U> dhruvasagar: No, sorry.
[07:47] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: np
[07:47] <dhruvasagar> Jordan_U: in your opinion, will reinstalling compiz make any difference ?
[07:47] <basncy> sacarlson, no mater sudo nor gksudo synaptic ,neither say:dpkg: warning: 'find' not found on PATH.1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
[07:47] <elitexray> how would i ever re-add chat/email icon to panel if i removed it?
[07:47] <openros> Coded1, head give me this errror head: error reading `/dev/sdb': Input/output error
[07:48] <Jordan_U> dhruvasagar: I wouldn't expect it to, but it can't hurt to try.
[07:48] <HeTaL> elitexray: right click, add to panel, and search for it.
[07:48] <elitexray> I did. it wasnt there
[07:48] <itsux2bu> ActionParsnip, thanks
[07:48] <Coded1> openros, did you try adding sudo?
[07:48] <HeTaL> Ok, one sec
[07:49] <openros> Coded1, yes
[07:49] <sacarlson> basncy: sounds like you some how corupted you libs or bin files.
[07:49] <openros> Coded1, mounting http://pastebin.com/Sx91fxzR
[07:50] <basncy> sacarlson, what does corupt mean?
[07:50] <Coded1> openros, what was the comand that gave u the error?
[07:50] <sacarlson> basncy: what if you from a term gksudo /usr/sbin/synaptic
[07:50] <openros> Coded1, $ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb /media/hd-ntfs -o force
[07:51] <Coded1> openros, are you sure its ntfs?
[07:51] <Mrzombiemuffinab>  8-)
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> openros: you can't mount /dev/sdb its a disk, you can only mount partitions
[07:51] <HeTaL> elitexray: how about making a custom application launcher?
[07:51] <sacarlson> basncy: corrupted means you f**ked them up some how
[07:51] <Coded1> true
[07:51] <Mrzombiemuffinab> :{D
[07:51] <elitexray> I could if thats the only way
[07:51] <rww> sacarlson: watch your language, please
[07:51] <openros> Coded1, the harddisk har windows and linux installed... so some partitions ntfs, ext3 and swap
[07:51] <bazhang> Mrzombiemuffinab, support question?
[07:52] <sacarlson> rww: wow they can read between the lines now?
[07:52] <Mrzombiemuffinab> um nope :o
[07:52] <openros> ActionParsnip, partitions are not getting identified
[07:52] <phawx> im trying to format this 250gb hdd to fat32,  but the only option i see is FAT,  is that the correct one?
[07:52] <bazhang> Mrzombiemuffinab, then please keep smileys and such to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> openros: then restore from backup, or use foremost on the raw disk
[07:52] <itsux2bu> (_o_)
[07:52] <Mrzombiemuffinab> . . .
[07:52] <elitexray> but then it wouldn't be the same,since the original had Chat/email/notification -all in one.
[07:52] <elitexray> @hetal
[07:53] <Flannel> itsux2bu: Please refrain from that.
[07:53] <openros> ActionParsnip, meaning? I dont understand
[07:53] <HeTaL> elitexray: I don't know of any other way to do it. But you can check the settings of the application. You might find something there.
[07:53] <HeTaL> Sorry.
[07:53] <HeTaL> Maybe someone else knows how.
[07:53] <Aemaeth> in soviet operating system, process kills YOU
[07:53] <elitexray> Oh, don't worry about it!
[07:53] <Coded1> openros, this disk you are trying to mount has multiple partitions and none of them are identified ?
[07:53] <elitexray> not a big deal anyways
[07:54] <elitexray> thanks though
[07:54] <Mrzombiemuffinab> Does anyone know any good bands?
[07:54] <openros> Coded1,  yes none of them is identified.
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> openros: if the drive used to have 1 partition wusing 100% of available space you can use testdisk to define the partition and then fsck
[07:54] <Coded1> openros, are you sure your usb case is working properly?
[07:54] <basncy> sacarlson, gksudo /usr/sbin/synaptic and  gksudo synaptic both runs well,but when i install some software,it says:pkg: warning: 'find' not found on PATH. The Programe cannot find the "find " programe.
[07:54] <Coded1> openros, do you have another drive you can trow in to test it ?
[07:54] <bazhang> !ot | Mrzombiemuffinab
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> openros: foremost is a data recovery app for idiots who don't have good backups
[07:54] <Mrzombiemuffinab> . . .
[07:55] <openros> Coded1, I tested it with another dirve and it works fine
[07:55] <sacarlson> basncy: I never asked you to install anything with synaptic I told you to use customfilter>broken  to find the broken application so you can fix it.
[07:56] <xshyamx> hi, I have created a .desktop file (with +x permissions) and put it in /usr/share/applications but, still when I type the command in "run application" the icon does not show up
[07:56] <Coded1> ActionParsnip, he mentioned it was likely due to bios obsfucation doesn't seem likely but it should allow a raw read from /dev/
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> openros: use it on an unmounted disk or partition to possibly recover some, all, or zero data. You will need a partition mounted writable to spit the data onto. Its pretty handy
[07:56] <xshyamx> any ideas why?
[07:56] <openros> ActionParsnip, I had backup... I missed to copy a folder alone i want to recover that
[07:56] <sacarlson> basncy: maybe I'm on the wrong path
[07:56] <Coded1> openros, you mentioned something about bios why do you think that has anything to do with it?
[07:57] <basncy> sacarlson, oh
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> xshyamx: make a bash script in $PATH somewhere to run what you wish and how, then create a launcher using alacarte to run that script
[07:57] <openros> Coded1, 1 thought the bios password has something to do with harddisk protection, I think I was wrong.
[07:57] <xshyamx> ActionParsnip: my executable is in the $PATH and I'm getting command name completion but, the icon does not show up :(
[07:58] <openros> Coded1, the only difference between the two hard disk i have is one was with the laptop protected with Bios password
[07:58] <YNH> anyone know where I can find an debian installer for ubuntu?
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> xshyamx: do you mean in the alt+f2 dialogue?
[07:58] <xshyamx> ActionParsnip: If I paste the .desktop file on the desktop the icon is displayed correctly
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> YNH: how do you mean?
[07:58] <xshyamx> ActionParsnip: yes
[07:59] <umar> how can i make skype calls in ubuntu 10? i can hear the echo voice, but cannot hear my own recording.
[07:59] <umar> i want to make a copy of my boot loader, then install windows and then recover the boot loader, how can i do it?
[07:59] <sacarlson> umar: try http://skype.com
[07:59] <well_laid_lawn> !alternate | YNH
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> xshyamx: if you specify the full path to the image does it work? I suggest you use xpm format images too
[08:00] <YNH> ActionParsip: I installed debian and am not happy as I cannot find drivers for it and all I can find is a windows installer on the main site
[08:00] <wizzle> can i make auto mounting for my partition.
[08:00] <basncy> sacarlson, there's no broken software.
[08:00] <sacarlson> basncy: cool
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> xshyamx: you can use imagemagick to convert
[08:01] <umar> sacarlson, usually ubuntu docs for configuring sound/mike are better than the software u wanna run's docs
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> YNH: debian isn't supported here. Ask in #debian
[08:01] <basncy> sacarlson, and the problem still exist
[08:01] <xshyamx> ActionParsnip: I have an xpm image already...I have given the full path in the .desktop file...should I put it in /usr/share/icons also?
[08:01] <bazhang> YNH, debian installer is the alternate cd for ubuntu
[08:01] <umar> sacarlson, i tried them before for some other thing, they dint work
[08:02] <bazhang> YNH, ncurses base install only cd
[08:02] <wizzle> can i make auto mounting for my partition?
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> xshyamx: worth a try. You can then simply specify the icon name without extension or path :)
[08:02] <Ruthgard> !fstab | wizzle
[08:02] <sacarlson> basncy: I'm looking back at what you say the problem is
[08:02] <YNH> ActionParsnip: not looking for debian help, looking to upgrade to ubuntu
[08:02] <bazhang> YNH, the alternate is what you what
[08:02] <YNH> ty
[08:02] <bazhang> !alternate | YNH
[08:03] <xshyamx> ActionParsnip: thx...will try that out
[08:03] <sacarlson> basncy: is the only problem that the program "find" is missing from /bin?
[08:03] <Coded1> openros, was/is the drive possibly mechanicaly defective?
[08:03] <wizzle> !Partition
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> YNH: then download the ubuntu iso, wipe off debian and install ubuntu. Obviously make sure your backups are sufficiently up to date
[08:04] <sacarlson> bsncy:  what do we get with this command whereis find
[08:04] <KE1HA> !home > KE1HA
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> openros: the ultimate boot cd has the testing tools from the major drive manufacturers. You can test the drive at a low level with that
[08:04] <sanjoy> can any one help me to enjoy mp3 on ubuntu i cant listen any music
[08:05] <openros> Coded1, no such issues.
[08:05] <basncy> sacarlson, before such this problem happen,i made a C deamon Programe ,and added it's path into /etc/rc.local,then reboot,next,this problem appeared!then I remove the path from /etc/rc.local,then reboot,and the problem still exist.I think there's something wrong with the root's PATH
[08:05] <bazhang> sanjoy, install ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> sanjoy: install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc and gnome-mplayer and you will be able to play anything
[08:05] <sanjoy> from where
[08:05] <Coded1> openros, ya ActionParsnip has a good point it has special tests depending on the brand / Seagate, Maxtor ...
[08:05] <openros> ActionParsnip, thanks, let me try to put in the laptop and try booting it
[08:05] <sanjoy> i am new
[08:05] <openros> Coded1, mine is WD
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> sanjoy: use software centre
[08:06] <sacarlson> basncy: yes but I don't know what that did, and since you removed it why would it cause this problem?  what do we get with this command whereis find
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> sanjoy: if you add the medibuntu repo, you can install w32codecs as well
[08:06] <Coded1> openros, remember that and run the WD diagnostic
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> !medibuntu | sanjoy
[08:06] <Coded1> best way is flash drive if you have one handy
[08:06] <Coded1> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/
[08:06] <openros> Coded1, thanks. I will do
[08:06] <Coded1> np
[08:06] <bazhang> sanjoy, open the synaptic package manager and install from there; you should have a read of the manual as well
[08:07] <bazhang> !manual | sanjoy
[08:07] <sacarlson> basncy:  and what about echo $PATH
[08:07] <sacarlson> basncy: you should see something like this /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[08:08] <randerzander> Does Ubuntu's software RAID 1 support NTFS formatted drives?
[08:08] <basncy> sacarlson, cy@cy-laptop:~$ sudo -i
[08:08] <basncy> -bash: groups: command not found
[08:08] <basncy> root@cy-laptop:~# $PATH
[08:08] <basncy> -bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: No such file or directory
[08:08] <basncy> cy@cy-laptop:~$ sudo -i
[08:08] <FloodBot3> basncy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:08] <basncy> -bash: groups: command not found
[08:09] <sacarlson> basncy: in the future never just change a file copy it to file.org then modify it so you always keep a copy of what you changed in you system files to reference.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> If you make a subfolder in one of the folders in $PATH will it be accessible? Does $PATH recurse through subfolders or does it only acknowledge the folders given and NOT the folder's subfolders?
[08:09] <itsux2bu> and if i want to add a folder called   /usr/scripts to $PATH ?
[08:09] <well_laid_lawn> ActionParsnip:   it is not recursive
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> well_laid_lawn: thanks, just curious :)
[08:10] <elitexray> what update would I need to install to view images on my evolution email?
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> itsux2bu: PATH=$PATH:/usr/scripts
[08:10] <administrator_>
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> elitexray: you just need to tell the client to always download the images in emails
[08:10] <basncy> sacarlson, run $PATH as root ,is says:-bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: No such file or directory
[08:11] <administrator_> How can I use the "root"?
[08:11] <elitexray> Actionparship - is this done in terminal?
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> itsux2bu: put it at the bottom of $HOME/.bashrc ,and it will be permanent
[08:11] <mae_tae> dougb_freebsd, i had other concern regarding thin client, whats the cause of cannot bind to ipv4, address is in use, this is tftp error
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> administrator_: can you elaborate?
[08:11] <itsux2bu> ActionParsnip, thats the end..  and  PATH=/user/scripts:$PATH  to the begining?
[08:11] <basncy> sacarlson, run $PATH as normal user,it says:bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: No such file or directory
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> elitexray: yes
[08:11] <sacarlson> basncy: you can't run $PATH you need to use echo $PATH
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> itsux2bu: i'd put it at the end so that the main folders get checked first
[08:12] <sacarlson> basncy: to veiw bash envirment values we use the command echo
[08:13] <well_laid_lawn> sacarlson:  just $PATH works here
[08:13] <itsux2bu> is  env ised to view all enviroment vars?
[08:13] <basncy> sacarlson, thanks,and run "echo $PATH" as root ,it says:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[08:13] <wocao> how to use repo in ubunu
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> elitexray: use tab to complete nicks too. Makes it accurate and is quicker ;)
[08:13] <sacarlson> basncy: in any case I still don't see the command results from whereis find
[08:13] <wocao> how to use repo in ubuntu
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> wocao: you already are to install and upgrade your software
[08:14] <elitexray> Actionparship -- i just figured it out. I only had to go to preference , html, then enable load image for all email.
[08:14] <elitexray> :)
[08:14] <sacarlson> well_laid_lawn: what shell is that? bash?
[08:14] <well_laid_lawn> sacarlson:  yep
[08:14] <KB1JWQ> administrator_: su -
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> wocao: don't repeat that fast, the same users saw both questions so achieves nothing
[08:14] <sacarlson> well_laid_lawn:  you don't notice at the end  such file or directory?
[08:15] <administrator_> ActionParsnip:some software can not run ,it need user root to run it (I AM CHINESE,I ONLY KNOW A FEW ENGLISH)
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> elitexray: its parsnip, the root vegetable. If you use tab you can type actio then press tab
[08:15] <well_laid_lawn> sacarlson:  for the games entry there is no such dir
[08:15] <phawx> no way to convert a filesystem without formatting right
[08:15] <well_laid_lawn> sacarlson:  is that what you meant?
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> administrator_: then put the word: gksudo ,at the start of the command
[08:16] <basncy> sacarlson, this is my command results:http://paste.ubuntu.com/484361/
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> phawx: depends what you are going from-to
[08:16] <sacarlson> well_laid_lawn:  no I mean it just give you an error because it tries to run $PATH so give you the error : No such file or directory
[08:16] <wocao> how to use repo in ubuntu ,which packages i should use
[08:16] <wocao> how to use repo in ubuntu ,which packages i should be installed
[08:17] <well_laid_lawn> sacarlson:  no - it lists all the relevant dirs as it always has
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> wocao: every time you use software centre and every time you upgrade your software you ARE using the repo
[08:17] <itsux2bu> sacarlson,  try   echo $PATH
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> wocao: and uit repeating so damn much
[08:17] <well_laid_lawn> sacarlson:  I've only ever used $PATh on it's own
[08:17] <basncy> sacarlson, and the echo $PATH   http://paste.ubuntu.com/484362/
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> wocao: where do you think the updates come from??
[08:18] <sacarlson> well_laid_lawn: itsux2bu:  that's what I'm tring to tell them they should use echo $PATH or echo $VALUEOFENVIRNMENT
[08:18] <administrator_> ActionParsinp: OK,then how can I open  dir root
[08:18] <well_laid_lawn> k
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> administrator_: gksudo nautilus
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> administrator_: you don't need root in ubuntu. You can use sudo and gksudo and do anything
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> administrator_: if you forget root exists you will be a whole lot better off
[08:20] <wocao> i don't want to upgrade  the system ,just want to know apt-get install what to install repo
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> wocao: that doesn't make sense
[08:20] <sacarlson> basncy: whereis find    that will tell you the path to find the program find  I don't see it in the pastebin
[08:21] <sacarlson> basncy: it must be confusing when we are trying to find find.
[08:21] <bazhang> !repos > wocao
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> wocao: if you want software you can search in software centre. Its the same as using apt-get but uses a GUI. Both install software from the Ubuntu repos
[08:22] <sacarlson> basncy: find is a program to search for files in directorys  try man find .  that apears to be missing
[08:22] <bazhang> !manual | wocao please have a read
[08:22] <administrator_> ActionParsnip:Good idea
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> wocao: do you mean ADD a repo (or PPA)??
[08:23] <basncy> sacarlson, man find runs well
[08:23] <itsux2bu> mom's favorite *nix comand is  man bash
[08:23] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> itsux2bu: read: man woman ,always makes me laugh
[08:23] <sacarlson> basncy: and whereis find.   whereis is a program that tells us what path it will be looking to find a program or if it will find it.
[08:23] <wocao> i want to using the repo command
[08:24] <sacarlson> basncy: man whereis
[08:24] <bazhang> wocao, what is your native language? Chinese?
[08:24] <itsux2bu> ActionParsnip, no man page for woman
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> wocao: one doesn't exist. Why not try telling us what you want to do instead of using technical terms you only kinda understand. We'll get a goal faster
[08:24] <bazhang> wocao, there is no 'repo' command
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> itsux2bu: thought it was "no manual entry for woman"
[08:25] <basncy> sacarlson, man whereis runs well
[08:25] <itsux2bu> yea
[08:25] <dougb_freebsd> I'm reading this: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+FreeBSD-3.html but I can't seem to find "the script that runs swapon" in the ubuntu /etc, is that mkswap thing still necessary for a linux swap partition?
[08:25] <sacarlson> basncy: and finnaly I hope we get what we might need the result of "whereis find"
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> itsux2bu: hehe
[08:25] <timewriter> hi
[08:25] <sacarlson> basncy: the man statments are meant to be read I hope you are reading them.
[08:26] <basncy> sacarlson, whereis find 's results:   find: /usr/share/man/man1/find.1.gz
[08:26] <sacarlson> basncy: then it's missing
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> wocao: with repos you can do 3 things; add a repo, remove a repo, install software from a repo. That's it
[08:26] <dougb_freebsd> basncy: is /usr/bin in your $PATH ?
[08:26] <timewriter> i have 2 hdds formatted as NTFS on 03:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6145 SATA II PCI-E controller (rev a1)
[08:26] <sacarlson> basncy: you somehow don't have a path to the command find that is just the man page
[08:26] <wocao> my native language is japanese
[08:26] <timewriter> but i am not able to mount them
[08:26] <timewriter> any help ?
[08:26] <bazhang> !jp | wocao
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> timewriter: you mount partitions not drives
[08:27] <basncy> dougb_freebsd, yes,it is
[08:27] <timewriter> yes , partition
[08:27] <dougb_freebsd> basncy: then your find binary has gone missing
[08:27] <sacarlson> basncy: you should have seen : find: /usr/bin/find /usr/share/man/man1/find.1.gz
[08:27] <dougb_freebsd> that's bad
[08:27] <timewriter> i can see the partitions on the primary sata controller
[08:27] <basncy> sacarlson, but the  PATH include it,why?
[08:27] <timewriter> but not on the secondary
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> timewriter: http://www.google.com/m/url?client=ms-android-tmobile&ei=3Wh3TPDIIZm9jAeO-5m4Ag&gl=gb&hl=en&q=http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows&source=android-browser-key&ved=0CBAQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNEUbkcsl7pDO-W7vXlQXh4wUqKJxA
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Sorry. Stupid phone browser
[08:28] <timewriter> ;:)
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Top link
[08:28] <sacarlson> basncy: I don't know cd /usr/bin;ls find*
[08:28] <timewriter> i was asking myself why :))
[08:28] <willy_> hey
[08:28] <o2oo> hi
[08:28] <basncy> dougb_freebsd, yes,there 's no find binary in /usr/bin
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> timewriter: the psychocats link is great
[08:29] <timewriter> ActionParsnip , i believe , but can you give the url again ?
[08:29] <sacarlson> basncy: something you did must have deleted it or renamed it or???
[08:29] <dougb_freebsd> basncy: ok, time to back up your data and reinstall  :)
[08:29] <basncy> sacarlson, result:  find2perl
[08:29] <MatHatter> Hi all,
[08:29] <basncy> dougb_freebsd, only to reinstall system?
[08:29] <Jordan_U> basncy: Did you for some reason have /usr on a separate partition at one point?
[08:30] <dougb_freebsd> ... there are other alternatives, but if your find binary has gone missing it's overwhelmingly likely that you've stuffed up a bunch of other stuff too
[08:30] <sacarlson> basncy: wow you missing more stuf then I see find  find2perl  findaffix  findsmb
[08:30] <jenda> I'm still trying to figure this out, so I'll try my luck here again - anyone know how to (if possible) synchronize mail, events and tasks from thunderbird to a smartphone and/or which smartphone is well suited for the job? I need to sync tasks too, so syncing through Google calendar isn't an option.
[08:30] <wocao> repo init -u
[08:30] <basncy> Jordan_U, Three partitions,one for / ,one for /home ,and one for swap
[08:30] <timewriter> i might keep Ubuntu as the main Os
[08:30] <wocao> no body answer me
[08:30] <timewriter> i managed to install mac os on a virtual machin
[08:31] <bazhang> wocao, that's not a meaninful command
[08:31] <MatHatter> I have a recuring trouble with the system going bakc to read-only file system every once in a while (each time I copy a file).  I look on the web a lot and didn't  found an answer.  Could anyone help me?
[08:31] <basncy> sacarlson, what a bad thing.reinstall my sytem.....
[08:31] <bazhang> wocao, are you using Ubuntu?
[08:31] <bint> so anyone can give me a hint how to set-up ubuntu-server with a proper GUI (desktop enviroment)
[08:31] <sacarlson> basncy: I'm quite sure that's what you will have to do unless you have a backup
[08:32] <Milez> install server and then install the x packages
[08:32] <bazhang> bint, just install ubuntu-desktop on it or other -desktop package
[08:32] <Milez> use a "how to install x" guide
[08:32] <dougb_freebsd> basncy: someone else here may be able to give you a better answer, but chances are you are so far gone at this point that back up data, wipe disk, reinstall is going to get you a better result in less time
[08:32] <bint> bazhang so now i'm on the shell
[08:32] <bint> whats the command?
[08:32] <bint> get -desktop :D?
[08:33] <bint> i have no idea
[08:33] <sacarlson> basncy: another think you should think about in the future is experiments like what you do should be in virtualbox.  when you get it working there then move it to real world if at all posible
[08:33] <timewriter> bint , install server , then install xserver-xorg , then ubuntu-desktop
[08:33] <bint> ok
[08:33] <bazhang> bint, which one did you want? lubuntu, kubuntu ubuntu edubuntu ubuntustudio ?
[08:33] <bint> ubuntu desktop
[08:33] <well_laid_lawn> bint:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:33] <bint> sweet thx
[08:33] <bint> and for what do i need xserver-org?
[08:34] <raven> truecrypt creating... ext2fs_mkdir: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read beim Erstellen des Wurzelverzeichnisses
[08:34] <raven> what to do?
[08:34] <well_laid_lawn> bint:  it should come as a dependency of the desktop
[08:34] <sacarlson> basncy: Jordan_U tells us if you don't format it will keep you /home/acconts  you should try that.
[08:34] <basncy> dougb_freebsd, sacarlson thanks all of you.i should be care when run programe as root,
[08:34] <itsux2bu> bint, might try   tasksel   at the command line
[08:34] <bazhang> bint, it'll be installed with ubuntu-desktop
[08:34] <FLASHER> hey
[08:34] <sacarlson> basncy: yes and virtualbox it if posible
[08:35] <FLASHER> anyone have an idia about Mikrotik ?
[08:35] <dougb_freebsd> basncy: yes, that  might work, but if it were me I'd definitely back up my data first just in case  :)
[08:35] <basncy> sacarlson, thans a lot ,it takes you a big time
[08:35] <bazhang> FLASHER, what is that?
[08:35] <FLASHER> ROUTER OS
[08:35] <sacarlson> basncy: hay it's all for the fun of it.  good luck
[08:35] <FLASHER> hotspot server
[08:35] <bazhang> FLASHER, something to do with Ubuntu ?
[08:35] <basncy> dougb_freebsd, thanks,i will reinstall letter.
[08:35] <dougb_freebsd> good luck :)
[08:36] <FLASHER> yes
[08:36] <th0r> FLASHER: I think mikrotik runs centos by default
[08:36] <FLASHER> i wanna know how to hack it with ubuntu
[08:36] <FLASHER> yeah
[08:36] <bazhang> FLASHER, wrong channel and network
[08:36] <basncy> sacarlson, thank you
[08:36] <FLASHER> its not hack man
[08:36] <bazhang> FLASHER, its offtopic
[08:36] <FLASHER> i just wanna admin telnet pass
[08:37] <FLASHER> i heared ubuntu can do that
[08:37] <FLASHER> i've ubuntu 10.04
[08:37] <administrator_> How to play .wma in ubuntu?
[08:37] <bazhang> FLASHER, please stop
[08:37] <FLASHER> ok sorry

[08:37] <FLASHER> administrator_ : rythembox too
[08:37] <daffy> hello all
[08:38] <administrator_> In Chinese system , there isn't rhytmbox
[08:38] <bazhang> administrator_, sure there is
[08:38] <timewriter> install it
[08:38] <administrator_> The system called YLMF OS
[08:38] <ev0> hi all
[08:38] <bazhang> administrator_, that's not ubuntu
[08:39] <KB1JWQ> administrator_: And hence not supported here. :-)
[08:39] <timewriter> administrator_ , you can install vlc
[08:39] <administrator_> The web site of YLMf OS  says it is ubuntu
[08:39] <bazhang> administrator_, its not.
[08:39] <timewriter> cat /etc/rel*
[08:40] <timewriter> oops
[08:40] <bint> what exactly does "apt" mean?
[08:40] <bint> sudo is a root cmd? apt - i dont know and get is just to get files
[08:40] <timewriter> short form for aptitude i guess
[08:40] <bint> well my english's to weak.. aptitude never heard
[08:41] <bint> gooa translate it :D
[08:41] <bazhang> bint, sudo is your user password
[08:41] <ev0> right
[08:41] <dougb_freebsd> man sudo
[08:41] <dougb_freebsd> man apt-get
[08:41] <bazhang> bint, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and then provide your user password
[08:41] <KE1HA> bint:  it's the front end for Debians dpkg package management system.
[08:41] <bint> yep
[08:41] <dougb_freebsd> very helpful :)
[08:41] <timewriter> bint , aptitude - high-level interface to the package manager
[08:41] <administrator_> bazhang: then what is it?
[08:42] <ddavids> hi all, pls i have a manual partition setup wt 6GB for root, 2Gb for swap and the rest as home but upon installing kubuntu on the exisiting gnome , i get a message that there isn't space on the device, how can i resolve that pleassseeeee?
[08:42] <bint> so "sudo" doesn't mean that i'm going for a root command?
[08:42] <bazhang> administrator_, its a derivative, made to look like windows xp, and not supported here.
[08:42] <bint> i thought everything with sudo is kinda administator thing
[08:42] <mujtaba> hello, any one alive ?!
[08:42] <mujtaba> I am having some major issues
[08:42] <bint> let us know
[08:42] <timewriter> bint , apt - Advanced Package Tool
[08:42] <KB1JWQ> mujtaba: Ask.
[08:42] <bint> ahh ok
[08:42] <bazhang> bint, it provides root privileges for your user for a limited time
[08:42] <rony_> hello i m facing a problem in virtual box
[08:42] <bint> yep
[08:42] <dougb_freebsd> bint, type this:  man sudo
[08:42] <mujtaba> Ubuntu One is giving issues
[08:43] <KE1HA> ddavids:  can you patebin df -hT and fdisk -l so we can look at your partition info.
[08:43] <bazhang> mujtaba, try #ubuntuone
[08:43] <timewriter> bint , you execute command as root , without having to log in as root or use "su"
[08:43] <bint> mujtaba meta-questions sux
[08:43] <bazhang> timewriter, that is not supported here, please dont recommend it
[08:43] <timewriter> bazhang , i am not
[08:43] <mujtaba> no one is alive there
[08:43] <timewriter> i told him what sudo does
[08:44] <mujtaba> I cant find the sync with ubunto one on any files or folder when i right click
[08:44] <bazhang> timewriter, my mistake, misread, my apologies

[08:45] <zfe> hello folks
[08:45] <timewriter> bazhang , i can use usb devices on virtualbox
[08:45] <th0r> bint: you might want to investigate X-forwarding via ssh for access to the server
[08:45] <bint> for me it works with the guest addidions
[08:45] <zfe> how can i remove that weird interface from my netbook remix
[08:45] <administrator_> bazhang:look like windows xp that is right, but the system check it is ubuntu system
[08:45] <zfe> and use a normal interface?
[08:46] <rony_> i already installed guest addition.
[08:46] <bazhang> timewriter, yes from the website, the repos -ose has no usb support
[08:46] <bint> th0r do you mind if i PM you?
[08:46] <administrator_> bazhang:where do you get  YLMF OS?

[08:50] <mujtaba> I just asked for help. at one time you guys are not assisting
[08:50] <dougb_freebsd> but you have 2 clients in here, you should be able to see that for yourself
[08:50] <mujtaba> weired..
[08:50] <mujtaba> anyway can any of you help me in ubuntu one ?
[08:50] <mujtaba> cuz ppl there are sleeping !!
[08:50] <bazhang> mujtaba, ask a question
[08:50] <ddavids> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LLk0dZwv
[08:52] <kazagistar> I want to create an ftp server for annon downloads ONLY, but I have tried like 4 tutorials and nothing even remotely works
[08:52] <netbkneutrino> my track pad in 10.04 sometimes acts like i just pushed it when I move it from one window to another. is there a fix for this
[08:53] <mujtaba_>  I cant find the sync with ubuntu one in any files or folder when i right click
[08:53] <mujtaba_> well?
[08:54] <ddavids> pls someone help me look at my partition table and see if anything is wrong http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LLk0dZwv
[08:55] <ddavids> my system is telling me no space
[08:55] <peepsalot> is there an app for graphing wifi signal strength.  i want to test out some antenna configurations, and see how the average signal changes across a graph, since there are large fluctuations.
[08:55] <x-Na> ddavids, your root partition is full
[08:55] <ddavids> x-Na:
[08:55] <ddavids> x-Na: pls what do u suggest?
[08:55] <x-Na> ddavids, free some space
[08:55] <ddavids> x-Na: how?
[08:56] <x-Na> Just by deleting the stuff you don't need, or uninstalling packages you don't need
[08:56] <well_laid_lawn> ddavids:  in terminal do   ls -lh /var/log   and look for large files
[08:57] <x-Na> ddavids, and run 'apt-get autoclean'
