[09:02] <XiaolinDraconis> ok this is weird, i made a new keyboard shortcut and set the amixer command, when i pressed pageUp it warned me that it was already in use as a volume control, so the xmodmap command worked, but somehow i dont have a "p" anymore ???
[09:03] <XiaolinDraconis> actionParsnip, and yes i confirmed amixer with -h and read what the arguments do
[09:03] <XiaolinDraconis> ;)
[09:04] <retrorex> why the hell can't i use Gtwitter. after putting in the usrname pass the thing wouldnt log me in .The same with twitux
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> retrorex  you mean gwibber?
[09:06] <XiaolinDraconis> im going to log out and back in, to reset the xmodmap settings ive screwed up
[09:07] <retrorex> MonkeyDust :gtwitter is a twitterclient like gwibber  , twitux
[09:07] <Dae> MonkeyDust: "gTwitter is a Linux client for reading and posting to twitter.com web service."
[09:08] <nina666> somsip. ok done. i actually just mafe the File>Compact... and launch thunderbird in normal way and it works!!
[09:08] <retrorex> I just can't figure out were I am wrong. I think it has some thing to do with API's
[09:08] <nina666> somsip, thanks alot for your help! you saved me a bad headache
[09:09] <somsip> nina666: np.  Leave it to them
[09:11] <somsip> *ops
[09:11] <Dae> somsip: Fair enough.
[09:11] <somsip> Dae: there is the !ops command if someone is being a big problem and there is no ops presence
[09:11] <Dae> Ah, duh. Thanks, I forgot about that.
[09:12] <Cnythnk> haha seem like someone had a bad experience with debian
[09:12] <Cnythnk> ubuntu*
[09:12] <philipp__> guys how the **** do i edit one of this *** unity starters?
[09:13] <dr_willis> 'starters' =  what exactly.
[09:13] <philipp__> dr_willis, that bar with icons on the left?
[09:13] <dr_willis> thats the left side 'panel'
[09:13] <Dae> What exactly are you looking to edit, philipp__?
[09:14] <philipp__> Dae, i want it to start chromium with a parameter
[09:14] <ardchoille> philipp__: right click to "stick to panel", drag and drop to re-order
[09:14] <Dae> The easiest thing to do would be to make a launcher, then add that to the Unity panel.
[09:14] <philipp__> ardchoille, thats cute! how can i change the command it executes?
[09:15] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/10228/whats-the-right-terminology-for-unitys-ui-elements
[09:15] <ardchoille> philipp__: see what Dae posted, that's the easiest
[09:15] <philipp__> Dae, im not gonna work around. things like that have to work -.-
[09:15] <actionParsnip> philipp__: ubuntu-tweak can edit the icons in the unity bar
[09:15] <philipp__> its not an unity launcher
[09:15] <dr_willis> find the chromium.desktop launcher file and copy it to make your own, or edit it for system wide changes
[09:16] <philipp__> dr_willis, where do i find it?
[09:16] <dr_willis> locate command will show it where its at.
[09:16] <ardchoille> philipp__: /usr/share/applications probablu
[09:16] <dr_willis> locate chromium.desktop     perhaps.
[09:17] <actionParsnip> probably chromium-browser.desktop
[09:18] <philipp__> actionParsnip, thx it is
[09:19] <gbili> hello, i would like to know what is the .profile like file that gest executed at bash login?
[09:19] <nina666> somsip; ok just one last question. non related to problem. my inbox always synchronizes but not my sent folder. do you know how I set settings for that?
[09:19] <dr_willis> gbili:  theres a .profile in your home dir.
[09:19] <dev___> hello
[09:19] <dr_willis> gbili:  and a .bashrc
[09:19] <somsip> nina666: It's in the options...two secs
[09:20] <somsip> nina666: Edit|Account Settings, Synch and Storage, Advanced button, tick everything you want.
[09:21] <dev___> yea
[09:21] <dev___> hello
[09:21] <dev___> anyone there
[09:21] <dev___> sos to human
[09:21] <Dae> !enter | dev___
[09:21] <QuantumQrack> Which version of ubuntu release do I need to install with amd cpu?
[09:21] <MonkeyDust> dev___  tou're in, it works
[09:21] <MonkeyDust> y
[09:22] <va> Hi. How do i make the "unlock" button in system settings active? It says "system policy prevents changes. contact admin" when i hover on it.
[09:22] <actionParsnip> QuantumQrack: either the 32bit or the 64bit ISOs.
[09:22] <tsimpson> QuantumQrack: the i386 version is for any 32bit (or 64bit) CPU, the AMD64 version is for any 64bit CPU. which you choose depends on if you want 32 or 64bit
[09:22] <dev___> hellook
[09:23] <QuantumQrack> ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386 <--?
[09:23] <QuantumQrack> ahh, ok tsimpson
[09:23] <MonkeyDust> QuantumQrack  is your cpu 32bit or 64bit.
[09:23] <actionParsnip> QuantumQrack: how much RAM do you have?
[09:24] <Calinou> QuantumQrack: get the 64 bit one, unless your computer is 8+ years old
[09:24] <QuantumQrack> have plenty of ram and spare sticks of ram lying around.  Maybe 6 gigs
[09:24] <Calinou> it will almost always work
[09:24] <Calinou> 64 bit supports > 3GB RAM and is faster
[09:24] <QuantumQrack> ahh, good point, forgot about that.
[09:24] <actionParsnip> Calinou: its not outright faster
[09:24] <tsimpson> the 32bit version supports more than 4GB of RAM too
[09:24] <tsimpson> with PAE
[09:24] <Calinou> PAE is terrible
[09:24] <dev___> I have 8GB ram
[09:24] <Calinou> messes up with drivers
[09:25] <Calinou> and doesn't change per process limit
[09:25] <philipp__> thx guys it worked
[09:25] <actionParsnip> Calinou: some apps under 64bit will be faster, like audio and video encoding
[09:25] <philipp__> that edit such things does not work out of the box is a joke though
[09:25] <actionParsnip> Calinou: for web access and that sort of thing itwill make near-zero difference
[09:25] <QuantumQrack> The cpu is an AMD Atholon 64 X2 dual core
[09:26] <dev___> 64Bit is the future
[09:26] <actionParsnip> QuantumQrack: I'd use 64bit then
[09:26] <dev___> use 64bit
[09:26] <dr_willis> !brainstorm > philipp__
[09:26] <QuantumQrack> k
[09:27] <Calinou> actionParsnip: who said I was talking about web access?
[09:27] <Calinou> QuantumQrack: 64bit
[09:27] <actionParsnip> Calinou: you said 64bit is faster
[09:27] <dev___> 64bit is faster
[09:27] <dev___> action
[09:27] <philipp__> dr_willis, no point in that... unity is bejond hope
[09:27] <dr_willis> philipp__:  so is ranting in the irc channels. have a nice day.,
[09:27] <actionParsnip> dev___:  its not, in most cases the difference is negligable
[09:28] <dr_willis> bbl.
[09:28] <MonkeyDust> philipp__  you're free to not use unity
[09:28] <dev___> If you ur system support 64bit use 64bit that simple
[09:28] <actionParsnip> dev___: in data intensive stuff like encoding data it will be difference
[09:28] <dev___> thats what im talking about action
[09:28] <philipp__> MonkeyDust, i know and hell i have no idea why i still installed it...
[09:28] <actionParsnip> dev___: but saying '64bit is faster' is misleading
[09:28] <Dae> philipp__: The more advanced Ubunters may choose something other than Unity, for easier access to the features they like. Unity seems to focus more on simplicity for the common user, though.
[09:28] <MonkeyDust> philipp__  it's there by default
[09:28] <philipp__> MonkeyDust, i usually use debian stable but need ubuntu for school
[09:28] <dev___> No its not
[09:29] <dev___> Ill compare my rig to any 32bit anyday
[09:29] <actionParsnip> dev___: it is because it sounds like using word processing and so forth willbe faster too, which it won't
[09:30] <philipp__> Dae, i once installed unity by my grandmother. if i would have been able to edit a couple of things it would be fine... so she abandoned it
[09:30] <philipp__> xfce ftw
[09:30] <dev___> Action though. Do you know how to fix this error  /lib/modules/3.2.0-31-generic/build no such file or directory Stop
[09:30] <Dae> To each, their own. :)
[09:30] <ikonia> dev___: ther file/dir is missing
[09:30] <actionParsnip> dev___: could make the folder
[09:31] <dev___> and what in it?
[09:31] <dev___> I am unable to edit or modify any files there
[09:31] <ikonia> dev___: what are you trying to do ?
[09:31] <philipp__> dev___, a kernel modul...
[09:31] <dev___> i am trying to use "make install" command for my graphics to compile / install
[09:31] <dev___> but it comes with that error
[09:32] <dev___> i am unable to make, ether
[09:32] <ikonia> dev___: what are you trying to build
[09:32] <dev___> a graphics driver
[09:32] <Dae> What kernel do you have installed, dev___?
[09:32] <actionParsnip> dev___: sudo mkdir -p /lib/modules/3.2.0-31-generic/build
[09:32] <ikonia> dev___: which one
[09:32] <dev___> i believe
[09:32] <dev___> for rt
[09:32] <dev___> realtek
[09:32] <dev___> nvm
[09:32] <dev___> wifi driver
[09:32] <FloodBot1> dev___: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:32] <gbili> dr_willis, thanks .bashrc was the right answer, .profile only gets executed at login I think, wheras .bashrc does at every new session or window, don't know the exact terminology
[09:32] <ikonia> dev___: what exactly are you trying to build
[09:32] <actionParsnip> dev___: which chip?
[09:32] <ikonia> realtek is not a graphics card
[09:32] <ikonia> dev___: look in the restricted drivers tool
[09:33] <nina666> somsip: weiredly, i do not have any synch and storage
[09:33] <dev___> why so many questions ?? i just need a answer :(. rt 8188ce or somethign
[09:33] <XiaolinDraconis> so i guess im stuck using shift+PgUP for raising volume rather than assigning PgUP as a volume key
[09:33] <dev___> restricted drivers tool?
[09:34] <greek> Hi. I'm on 11.04. I'm trying to install php5-gd but it's saying broken packages: The following packages have unmet dependencies. php5-gd : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.5-1ubuntu7) but 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 is to be installed
[09:34] <philipp__> everyone thx for your help! much aprrechiated! g2g to school now bye
[09:34] <Dae> nina666: "synchronization & storage"
[09:34] <dev___> restricted drivers tool?
[09:34] <somsip> nina666: Under your main account, you should have Server Settings, Copies and Folders...Sync and Storage. It's not there?
[09:35] <dev___> I have a older version of that with the build file in it
[09:35] <dev___> but not the new version
[09:35] <actionParsnip> greek: Natty is EOL really soon, less than 1 month
[09:35] <dev___> ?
[09:36] <actionParsnip> greek: I wouldn't bother as support will end and you will get no updates and no support ere
[09:36] <actionParsnip> dev___: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/linux/+bug/902557
[09:37] <nina666> nope... its no there!
[09:37] <nina666> lol thats very weired
[09:38] <dev___> that link has no answer
[09:38] <actionParsnip> dev___: its a known issue, not all bug reports have answers
[09:38] <greek> actionParsnip, well we're running 10.04 on our servers (which is LTE afaik) and those allowed me to update php5-gd. But the machine currently in question is my development laptop
[09:38] <greek> s/lte/lts
[09:39] <actionParsnip> greek: LTS, but yes Lucid is LTS. Server is suported for years to come :)
[09:39] <greek> I guess we could upgrade our servers to 12.04 LTS though ;)
[09:39] <XiaolinDraconis> very silly for ubuntu to say it would be impossible to type if i use page up or down as a shortcut key, i dont know about you guys but i am pretty should typing does not require either of those keys... ever
[09:40] <XiaolinDraconis> sure*
[09:40] <dev___> action i was able to install the driver before though perfectly fine
[09:40] <dev___> I just need to fix something
[09:40] <dev___> on another install i was able to install perfectly fine
[09:40]  * nb-ben bought a USB wireless adapter and had ubuntu start w/o networking so had to use terminal to operate the thing ;(
[09:41] <dev___> same device
[09:41] <nb-ben> anybody know how to make ubuntu show that nice little icon at the top panel after it started w/o networking
[09:41] <dev___> what nice icon?
[09:41] <nb-ben> so that I may connect to wireless networks without the use of the terminal
[09:41] <nb-ben> networking icon
[09:41] <dev___> oh
[09:42] <actionParsnip> nb-ben: it pays to research, see what works out of the box
[09:42] <actionParsnip> !away > qos
[09:42] <actionParsnip> !away > qos|away
[09:42] <nb-ben> it did work out of the box
[09:42] <dev___> Put back in the box and it will work again?
[09:42] <nb-ben> iwconfig wlan0 essid "my_essid" ; dhclient wlan0 did the trick
[09:43] <dev___> What chipset do you have
[09:43] <XiaolinDraconis> was thinking the samething actionParsnip
[09:43] <dev___> ?
[09:43] <nb-ben> no need for any configuration
[09:43] <actionParsnip> nb-ben: nice, is nm-applet running?
[09:44] <nb-ben> yep
[09:44] <nb-ben> actionParsnip, ^
[09:44] <nb-ben> looks like there's some configuration value somewhere set to off or something, that just makes it not show network related stuff
[09:44] <greek> actionParsnip, is it possible to get my php5-gd installed on my 11.04 or is upgrading ubuntu my only option?
[09:44] <actionParsnip> nb-ben: could try wicd
[09:45] <actionParsnip> greek: do you have any PPAs added, they may cause issues with deps
[09:45] <greek> Nope
[09:45] <nb-ben> i don't understand why it even has that no network mode
[09:45] <nb-ben> it's utterly useless to just disable networking if you can't connect to anywhere on boot
[09:46] <greek> actionParsnip, I use out-of-the-box Ubuntu so no PPAs
[09:46] <greek> I wish there was a one command upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 :-P
[09:46] <QuantumQrack> Won a new case at PAX seattle, so I am going to use some old hardware to run linux with the case.  I hope it goes smoothly installing off a USB stick.
[09:46] <dev___> has anyone here used grub customizer?
[09:46] <nb-ben> greek, you can upgrade automatically
[09:46] <greek> nb-ben?
[09:46] <nb-ben> using update manager
[09:46] <dev___> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
[09:47] <dev___> ?
[09:47] <actionParsnip> greek: are there bugs reported?
[09:47] <greek> actionParsnip, no I checked
[09:47] <actionParsnip> dev___: never had to, what do you want to achieve?
[09:47] <greek> actionParsnip, I'll pastebin the exact error I'm getting one sec
[09:48] <dev___> I want to remove some of the options to boot into, and if i can change the purple color to something else
[09:48] <dev___> when i load up my computer i do not like purple showing ..
[09:48] <actionParsnip> dev___: uninstall unused kernels, it will clean up grub for you
[09:48] <greek> actionParsnip, http://pastie.org/4895959
[09:48] <XiaolinDraconis> grrrr
[09:48] <dev___> what about th apparence?
[09:49] <dev___> I have googled grub  and alot of people have custom backgrounds and looks of grub loader
[09:49] <dev___> how do i do this?
[09:49] <XiaolinDraconis> amixer code does not raise volume beyond 42%
[09:49] <greek> actionParsnip, if it's easier to just upgrade to 12.04 I'm totally open to that :)
[09:49] <XiaolinDraconis> not beyond 3% if volume is 1%
[09:49] <actionParsnip> greek: I recommend it
[09:49] <actionParsnip> dev___: so you want a background image?
[09:49] <greek> actionParsnip, ok thanks. I'll google on how to do the upgrade
[09:50] <dev___> yea
[09:50] <dev___> or color
[09:50] <dev___> just not purple
[09:50] <nb-ben> I can't really tell much difference between 12 and 11
[09:50] <XiaolinDraconis> i would love to get rid of that silly purple color
[09:51] <dev___> actionparsnip something like this http://i1-linux.softpedia-static.com/screenshots/GNU-GRUB_3.png

[09:51] <XiaolinDraconis> i have a customized plymouth screen and customized LDM screen but the LDM still fades from purple into the bg
[09:51] <david_> hi
[09:52] <actionParsnip> dev___: i believe if you just put the image in /boot/grub and run:  sudo update-grub     it willapply
[09:53] <ardchoille> What about the login screen> Can we change the theme/colors in that screen too?
[09:54] <actionParsnip> ardchoille: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64001/how-do-i-change-the-wallpaper-in-lightdm
[09:54] <dev___> Are you sure on that?
[09:54] <dev___> hold on
[09:54] <ardchoille> actionParsnip: thank you, sir :)
[09:56] <ardchoille> actionParsnip: this lightdm theme reminds me a lot of when I was writing GDM themes
[09:57] <XiaolinDraconis> how can i be sure of what i have ldm or gdm, i think i installed gdm but cannot remember
[09:58] <dev___> action How would i make a image tga format? it says it must be taht format
[09:58] <XiaolinDraconis> i am searching how to remove that purpleness that it fades to
[09:58] <dev___> is there any tools out there ?
[09:58] <dev___> you may know of
[09:58] <XiaolinDraconis> gimp
[09:58] <actionParsnip> dev___: use imagemagick perhaps
[09:58] <XiaolinDraconis> save as
[09:58] <dev___> ok
[09:59] <dev___> ill be right back im going to see if it worked

[10:05] <XiaolinDraconis> thing*
[10:05] <varikonniemi> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager

[10:09] <tsimpson> did you make sure to type /etc/X11, rather than /etc/x11?
[10:09] <XiaolinDraconis> copied and pasted so no i didnt confirm

[10:10] <diverdude> I just bought a brand new HP server and i am installing ubuntu 12.04 server ed. on it as we speak :) I was considering how to set up a really good backup scheme on the server.

[10:15] <XiaolinDraconis> ThinkT510, why do we need the results of ps aux?
[10:15] <dr_willis> purple? if you mean the ubuntu ... animation, thats the 'splash' screen, which is controlled by 'ply outh'
[10:15] <XiaolinDraconis> after plymouth
[10:15] <ThinkT510> XiaolinDraconis: to determine what is running
[10:15] <XiaolinDraconis> i already fixed plymouth
[10:15] <dr_willis> plymouth splash is befor you see the login manager
[10:15] <XiaolinDraconis> its lightdm
[10:16] <XiaolinDraconis> i already stated i was trying the other commands such as cat for fun
[10:16] <XiaolinDraconis> dr_willis, i am using a custom plymouth
[10:16] <ThinkT510> XiaolinDraconis: are you sure you are not just seeing the grep?
[10:17] <XiaolinDraconis> ThinkT510, the result of ps aux | grep light shows that lightdm is indeed a service running as root
[10:18] <ThinkT510> XiaolinDraconis: good, just wanted to make sure you were reading it right
[10:18] <lsj8924> is anyone here

[10:20] <lsj8924> the command line didnot work

[10:32] <MasterOfDisaster> I don't like the fonts okular + libepub backend is using to render a document. How can I customize this?
[10:34] <varikonniemi> MasterOfDisaster, you can overwrite that font with one that you like
[10:38] <MasterOfDisaster> varikonniemi: how? by editing the .epub file?
[10:38] <Fuzzles> is this the ubuntu irc?
[10:38] <justus> yes
[10:39] <Hatori> no :d
[10:39] <justus> Hatori: now you're just being contrary :P
[10:39] <varikonniemi> MasterOfDisaster, it was just an idea how to emergency hack it as you like. of course the program should offer a choice of fonts
[10:39] <justus> just to make sure I understood this correctly from my search: there is no official GUI to manage services?
[10:39] <Hatori> just jokes justus :..d
[10:40] <ThinkT510> !joke | Hatori
[10:40] <Hatori> :d
[10:40] <Shadow`_> linux ppl have no humour, well known
[10:40] <Fuzzles> does ubuntu `2.04 not have a package manger anymore?
[10:40] <Shadow`_> apt,aptitude, software distribution center
[10:40] <MasterOfDisaster> varikonniemi: very much appreciated, thanks :) - I wasn't sure whether there are some dotfiles read by libepub or deps influencing this
[10:40] <DJones> Fuzzles: Yes, its called software centre
[10:40] <MonkeyDust> Fuzzles  yes, synaptic, but it's no longer installed by default
[10:41] <ThinkT510> Fuzzles: the software centre is default
[10:41] <Hatori> justus, for upstart based job, i think yes
[10:41] <DJones> Fuzzles: Or you can install synaptic package manager
[10:41] <dev___> got grub background to work with custom image
[10:41] <justus> Hatori: that is, ... highly annoying ^^
[10:41] <justus> Hatori: So basically I have to go via console in order to disably notify-osd
[10:41] <justus> ?
[10:42] <Hatori> justus, i think yes,edit some files
[10:42] <justus> great, and here I thought the wiki entry had to be a very, very, very bad joke
[10:42] <justus> is there an official way to point out personal annoyance at something that I conceive as blatantly stupid?
[10:42] <Hatori> justus, but that was for system wide job
[10:43] <ThinkT510> !brainstorm | justus
[10:43] <justus> thanks, ThinkT510
[10:44] <Shadow`_> to bad ubuntu has a .com domain
[10:45] <Hatori> shadow'... And what do you want for them? .gov??
[10:45] <Shadow`_> .org is more suited for OSS
[10:46] <jrib> Shadow`_: use your hosts file :)
[10:46] <tsimpson> no one has ever took any notice of the meaning for TLDs
[10:46] <Hatori> shadow' i think canonical as a ubuntu developer was a commercial entity.
[10:46] <Shadow`_> heh
[10:46] <Shadow`_> ye but ubuntu isnt, anyways was just saying, ubuntu.org would fit more =p
[10:47] <Cnythnk> such a trife
[10:47] <Cnythnk> trifle*
[10:47] <MonkeyDust> Shadow`_  ubuntu.org exists too
[10:48] <tsimpson> Shadow`_: it used to have an .org domain, the .com domain is just more "friendly" to "normal" people
[10:48] <Hatori> shadow' thats a normal thing
[10:48] <dr_willis> ubuntu.xxx for sexy ubuntu themes.  ;)
[10:48] <Shadow`_> what 'normal' people would go to a linux distro out of nowhere on their own? heh
[10:48] <Hatori> wow, sound greats dr_willis :d
[10:48] <tsimpson> Shadow`_: that's kind of the aim of Ubuntu ;)
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> Shadow`_  'normal' != interesting ;)
[10:49] <Shadow`_> ye, year of the linux date("Y")+1
[10:49] <Hatori> !oot
[10:49] <Hatori> !oot
[10:49] <Hatori> !ot
[10:50] <Shadow`_> only srs bsns in here!
[10:51] <dev___> what ubuntu.xxx is a actuall site lol
[10:51] <Shadow`_> theres allot more reasons why linux stays out of view for the general public, a .com domain should be one of the least of the concerns
[10:51] <dr_willis> bbl
[10:53] <md_5> there are currently no applications which integrate with your (null) account

[10:55] <dev___> yawn,
[10:56] <Lufti> hi ;)
[10:56] <Hatori> hi lufti
[10:56] <dev___> I have customized almost everything on my pc and now i am bored
[10:57] <MonkeyDust> dev___  time to go outside and play
[10:57] <Hatori> dev__, do you want something more bit interesting?
[10:57] <dev___> Im a bit old to go outside and play
[10:57] <justus> ok, how can I turn off NotifyOSD? There seems to be the option of moving a config file around (which seems kind of messy) and not anything else... am I missing something here?
[10:58] <dev___> Hatori sure what do you have?
[10:58] <Hatori> dev__, one question, what do you interested in?
[10:58] <dev___> as in?
[10:59] <Hatori> dev__, everything.. :d
[10:59] <dev___> um, just tell me what it is
[10:59] <Hatori> kernel hacking maybe
[10:59] <Lufti> i have problems with my ubuntu 12.04 since yesterday. It locks the screen after random number of seconds and i have to login again. It happened twice even while i was typing this. It's the same screen that appears when i leave this laptop alone for some minutes. But suddenly it happens in shorter time!
[10:59] <Lufti> Any idea?
[11:00] <dev___> blow up pc?
[11:00] <Hatori> dev__, do you like programming?
[11:00] <dev___> I'm off to bed, goodnight guys
[11:00] <dev___> Hatori i do, learning perl atm
[11:00] <Hatori> :d
[11:00] <Hatori> goodnight dev__ , s
[11:01] <dev___> Yea, talk to you later.
[11:01] <Hatori> okey

[11:14] <blackshirt> kevind: what the problems exactly ?
[11:15] <janek_> bomgard: all the logs
[11:15] <kevind> blackshirt: i installed owncloud with apt-get. this installed the software into /usr/share. because i want it in my /var/www i ran "apt-get remove owncloud"
[11:16] <kevind> blackshirt: now the problem is: my apache still is looking into /usr/share/owncloud when i surf to "hostname.com/owncloud"
[11:16] <bomgard> janek_: logs can come from many places. For example, the firewall would be generating logs, you can disable that with sudo ufw logging off
[11:16] <blackshirt> kevind, have you purge it ?
[11:17] <itilious> is it possible to use a .exe screensaver via wine in ubuntu 12.04?
[11:17] <kevind> blackshirt: how ? ...
[11:17] <blackshirt> kevind: apt-get purge owncloud
[11:17] <CreazioN> Can anyone help me with finding a solution on how to set umask on apache @ ubuntu server
[11:17] <kevind> blackshirt: no i havent... thought its enough to remove. give me a sec
[11:18] <CreazioN> tried to read about http://www.ducea.com/2009/08/03/apache2-umask/ - but it wont affect :/
[11:18] <CreazioN> comming from debian where it just work out of box with the right umask - but ubuntu does'nt?
[11:18] <janek_> bomgard: I see. My aim is to disable all the logs related to internet traffic, so to speak.
[11:19] <bomgard> can you put a snippet of the logs in question in pastebin or similar so I can see what source is generating them? I'm quite certain they might be generated by ufw
[11:19] <blackshirt> creazion, what do you want with umask ?
[11:20] <kevind> blackshirt: i ran purge now but apache is still searching in /usr/share/owncloud" hmm
[11:20] <blackshirt> kevind: are you configured your apache manually ?
[11:20] <CreazioN> blackshirt: on debian its default 0022 - on ubuntu 0002 if im not mistaken
[11:21] <CreazioN> And i need same umask as default debian apache
[11:21] <kevind> blackshirt: i installed apache with apt-get. i just modified the port.conf
[11:21] <janek_> bomgard: beeing honest, I meant all the sources of all the logs. I will do what you said about ufw first.
[11:22] <bomgard> janek_: if you have multiple sources have a look at syslog-ng filters that will let you route any sources you like to /dev/null
[11:22] <kevind> blackshirt: is there a way to "reinstall" apt-get packages ?
[11:22] <janek_> bomgard: Excellent, big thanks. Will look into it.
[11:23] <bomgard> janek_: most welcome
[11:24] <blackshirt> kevind, yes, just install it again
[11:24] <blackshirt> or if was installed, you can use --reinstall options
[11:24] <blackshirt> CreazioN: i'm not sure
[11:25] <CreazioN> blackshirt: i need it with custom umask so when it create folders its set without php doing anything

[11:38] <va> Hi. In ubuntu 12, gnome-control-center's 'unlock' button is inactive if logged in through Xrdp or through an LTSP thin client (works if logged in locally). It says "system policy prevents changes. contact admin" on hover. Anyone know how to enable it or what could be causing this?
[11:44] <diverdude> I bought a HP ProLiant MicroServer N40. But it is as if the HDD is not being detected. How can i check if the HDD is available in the computer? I am installing ubuntu server 12.04   When installation gets to partition disks, it surveys the two drives and says 'This is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount points'. However, there is no information there. There are three menu options given: 'Configure iSCSI volumes'; 'Undo
[11:44] <diverdude> changes to partitions'; 'Finish partitioning and write changes to disk'. If I choose the third, I get the error message 'No root file system defined'. If I go into the first, it asks for an IP address for access to iSCSI volume.
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> diverdude  mind: there's also #ubuntu-server
[11:54] <jgcampbell300> can somone tell me how to partition some extra drives with ubuntu server 12.04 from cli
[11:55] <codemaniac> jgcampbell300: man fdisk
[11:55] <jgcampbell300> thanks
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> jgcampbell300  type sudo fdisk -l to get an idea what it looks like
[11:57] <wiben> Hi, I'm trying to boot ubuntu eee (Easy Peasy) from live usb on Packard Bell DotS2 Netbook. I've checked the usb stick on 2 other computers, it works fine. However on the netbook it blocks the boot with some information message about, Intel PineVIEW and Disassembly Prohibited. Any ideas how to work around this ?
[12:01] <asilhouette> any body help with these BADSIGs at apt-get update errors
[12:01] <asilhouette> tried google and stuff didn't work
[12:03] <dr_willis> wiben:  if you want  support here, you should be using ubuntuor an official varient. im not even sure easy peasy is getting updates, or any development any more.
[12:04] <dr_willis> wiben:  and id try the 'nomodeset' option if you get to a boot menu..
[12:04] <eyes_blue> hello
[12:04] <akis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255761/ I use Ubuntu 12.04 32bit, today I saw a error/warning sign (a red triangle with exclamation sign in it) on the top bar. Clicking on it the message says on gray, "The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selecting 'Check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories
[12:04] <akis> fail." There is no network problem since internet works fine. When I check for updates, there are none  and I don't get any message saying any repository has failed. there were no updates available, any idea?
[12:05] <dr_willis> akis:  use the apt-get commands from cli, tp update/upgrade the system yet?
[12:05] <wiben> ok, how about this then: Hi, I'm trying to boot ubuntu 12.04 from live usb on Packard Bell DotS2 Netbook. I've checked the usb stick on 2 other computers, it works fine. However on the netbook it blocks the boot with some information message about, Intel PineVIEW and Disassembly Prohibited. I don't even get to the boot menu. Any ideas how to work around this ?
[12:06] <dr_willis> if you cant boot the usb, check the bios settings
[12:06] <akis> some details please?
[12:06] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:06] <penseur_thinker> hi
[12:07] <dr_willis> akis:  apt 101 basics... 'sudo apt-get update'  and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[12:07] <akis> i did sudo apt-get update and i paste what i got
[12:07] <munuainen_> Hi there, help on partitioning much appreciated :)
[12:08] <dr_willis> munuainen_:  Details of the problem will help us help you. ;)
[12:08] <BluesKaj> akis, you have to do sudo apt-get upgrade too
[12:08] <munuainen_> I'm trying to combine the partition 4 with the Ubuntu installation partition 5: http://imageshack.us/a/img213/7746/partition.png
[12:08] <munuainen_> Tried Gparted live, to no avail.
[12:09] <mx_> I checkout my svn but I face this error svn: '/svn/openerp/openerp/!svn/vcc/default' path not found
[12:09] <mx_>  how can i solve it
[12:09] <dr_willis> munuainen_:  mergeing a primary partition into a logical partition?
[12:09] <akis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255777/
[12:10] <ThinkT510> akis: that is upgrade, not update
[12:10] <munuainen_> dr_willis: I don't really care about the pt 4 being a primary, I just wish to merge them together so that Ubuntu will still boot.
[12:10] <ThinkT510> akis: update refreshes the repos and upgrade actually fetches and applies the updates
[12:10] <munuainen_> I'd also love to increase the swap partition size at the end.
[12:10] <dr_willis> munuainen_:  but you are trying to combine a primary with a logical?
[12:11] <munuainen_> dr_willis: Should I be able to merge if I delete primary partition and recreate it as a logical one?
[12:11] <akis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255781/
[12:12] <ThinkT510> akis: that shows some ppas are not found
[12:12] <dr_willis> munuainen_:  if you delete one partition you can 'resize' the other..  you may need to enlarge the extended first. THEN enlarge the logical in the extended
[12:12] <akis> i saw that, what can do for that?
[12:13] <dr_willis> remove the faulty ppa's
[12:13] <mx_> any help
[12:14] <dr_willis> munuainen_:  if you have a empty partition, you can delete it making unallocated space, then gparted should be able to move/resize whats next to it
[12:14] <munuainen_> dr_willis: I think I tried that, but Gparted wasn't able to do that :/
[12:15] <MonkeyDust> munuainen_  but if you want to do that without dataloss, it takes a looooong time, i tried it
[12:15] <akis> ok. how can i proceed with the remove?
[12:15] <munuainen_> Monkeydust: Do you think I should wipe pts 4-6 and restart from Ubuntu installation?
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> munuainen_  fresh install is always faster and more efficient - backup first!!
[12:17] <ThinkT510> !ppa-purge | akis
[12:18] <L3top> funny that ppa-purge comes from a ppa...
[12:18] <munuainen_> Ok, I don't really have anything to back up there so I'll probably reinstall. Thanks!
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> L3top  you cynic you
[12:19] <SarcasMo> good day, I'm having trouble updating my adobe flashplayer for chrome. When I download the tar.gz from the site instead of installing it mounts as if it is a hard drive, what should I do to install the update correctly?
[12:20] <L3top> SarcasMo: you should use the version in the repos.
[12:20] <ThinkT510> !flash | SarcasMo
[12:21] <SarcasMo> okey I'll try
[12:22] <akis> is it recomendable to remove these ppa's or maybe the problem is temporary?
[12:22] <L3top> SarcasMo: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> akis  it is always recommended to remove ppas
[12:22] <ThinkT510> akis: it is recommendable to never install ppas in the first place
[12:22] <manimaraan> hi
[12:22] <dr_willis> akis:  do the ppas add somthing you need?  if not remove them
[12:23] <mx_> I just checkout my svn and i face this problem is this issue related to client or svn server as i said before when i checked out svn i face this error svn: '/svn/openerp/openerp/!svn/vcc/default' path not found
[12:23] <SarcasMo> 12
[12:23] <akis> as far i remember i installed a program trough tis ppa
[12:23] <SarcasMo> L3top: 12
[12:23] <Pici> mx_: probably best to ask in #svn
[12:24] <L3top> mx_: What is the full co you are using? Please paste here what you are typing.
[12:24] <SarcasMo> the flash plugin should already be installed right?
[12:24] <manimaraan> hi anyone help to me, i 've create pyqt in audio record gui and how to pymedia code in compare to pyqt
[12:25] <L3top> SarcasMo: not necessarily... apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer | grep Installed
[12:25] <AdvoWork> if my txt file has a link in it, how can i pipe that to wget? ive tried wget | file.txt  wget < file.txt  wget | cat file.txt   wget < cat file.txt ?
[12:25] <SarcasMo> L3top: installed (NONE)
[12:25] <L3top> SarcasMo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[12:25] <asilhouette> i'm having problems with BADSIG while updating, how do i fix them
[12:26] <mx_> L3top: svn co http://<IP_ADDRESS>/svn/openerp/
[12:26] <mx_> this is my command
[12:26] <SarcasMo> L3top: the warning is gone!
[12:26] <SarcasMo> L3top: thank you very much!
[12:27] <L3top> mx_: so you have an svn repository on your local network under /var/www? or... How have you set this up?
[12:27] <L3top> np SarcasMo

[12:27] <manimaraan> [12:28] <mx_> no svn not locally its in my company server
[12:28] <L3top> mx_: in terms of networking, 192.168= local
[12:28] <mx_> and iam not configuring any thing is it need configuration
[12:31] <L3top> mx_: I do not understand the question, but I do not know how svn can resolve that if it is not on a local server under /var/www/svn/openerp on the server with apache(or soemthing) running.
[12:31] <mashbro> How do I install a local server on Ubuntu?
[12:31] <L3top> what happens when you just drop the <IP_ADDRESS> in a web browser?
[12:32] <dr_willis> mashbro:  a server to do what?
[12:32] <mashbro> mashbro: A server to run PHP, Python scripts.
[12:32] <alvesjnr> hi all. I need to use a program (meep). When I type $ meep it says to run apt-get install meep. I run it, but it returns  "meep is already the newest version.". Then I try to run meep, and it still saying to run apt-get ...
[12:32] <alvesjnr> what can be the problem?
[12:32] <dr_willis> !lamp
[12:32] <akis> thanks you all!
[12:32] <mashbro> Like WAMP or XAMPP in windows alvesjnr
[12:33] <mashbro> Thanks.
[12:33] <alvesjnr> mashbro, maybe this message is not to me
[12:33] <mashbro> yes, it was not to you, sorry.
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> mashbro  run tasksel (task select)
[12:34] <mashbro> Do I need to set any special permissions for adding contents into the WWW folder?
[12:34] <SarcasMo> what is a good virtual pc for ubuntu?
[12:34] <SarcasMo> I want to experiment with arch
[12:34] <dr_willis> SarcasMo:  virtual box
[12:34] <shantorn> Virtual box works well
[12:35] <dr_willis> !vbox
[12:35] <SarcasMo> thanks :)
[12:35] <shantorn> also grab the extension pack and you will get usb2
[12:36] <mashbro> What is the most trafficky channel on Freenode?
[12:36] <dr_willis>  #flood  ;)
[12:36] <dr_willis> perhaps ask in #freenode
[12:37] <L3top> alvesjnr: sudo apt-get install --reinstall meep
[12:38] <SarcasMo> I'm here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads I want to have the vb for ubuntu 12, do I pick i386 or AMD 64? and why?
[12:38] <alvesjnr> L3top, it worked
[12:38] <alvesjnr> thanks
[12:38] <dr_willis> SarcasMo:  you pick the one that matches your install
[12:38] <L3top> np
[12:38] <dr_willis> did you install 32 or 64bit ubuntu ;)
[12:39] <SarcasMo> 32 bit
[12:39] <dr_willis> thats 386 then
[12:39] <SarcasMo> ah oke :)
[12:40] <bipul> it's i386 for 32 bit dr_willis  ? am i right
[12:41] <bipul> dr_willis,  what is the Diffrence between i386 and i686
[12:42] <ThinkT510> bipul: age
[12:42] <bipul> ThinkT510, ? age?
[12:42] <ThinkT510> bipul: indeed, i386 is older than i686
[12:44] <dr_willis> 386, 486, 686,   ;)
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> and 586 = pentium, penta means 5 :)
[12:44] <dr_willis> then they went pentium ? id hav e to refeer to wikipedi
[12:44] <bipul> ThinkT510,  when i use this command "uname -ar" it shows me 2 things i386 and i686 why ?
[12:44] <dr_willis> 8086 ;)
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> but a number could not be patented, therefore, a word, pentium
[12:45] <bipul> 8086 is very old processor
[12:45] <dr_willis> MonkeyDust:  i bet apple could do it. ;)
[12:45] <dr_willis> very old? now you make me feel bad..
[12:46] <bipul> dr_willis, ? really oh i am sory it's very very new

[12:55] <et> hi. I'm looking to install ubuntu on unused disk space of a windows computer without a cd drive. If i read http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows correctly, the installer does not let me pick the unallocated space, it only lets me choose between drives. is this intended?
[12:56] <ThinkT510> et: avoid the windows installer, better to do it via usb
[12:56] <ThinkT510> !usb | et

[13:15] <Fuzzles> ly have unity now? is there a way to view my applications without search all the time?
[13:16] <obxhdx> Fuzzles, just add the desired app to the launcher
[13:16] <thomaspr> How to install adobe-flashplugin <IP_ADDRESS>-0natty1 ?
[13:16] <Fuzzles> obxhdx, i know that i mean like a list to see what i have installed?
[13:17] <obxhdx> oh sorry, on the applications lens you can see all the installed apps… that's the only way I know
[13:18] <Fuzzles> obxhdx, im running unity 2d as my computer wont run 3d so i dont have that option i dont think
[13:19] <designbybeck> Fuzzles: have you tried 12.10 beta 2 yet ?
[13:19] <designbybeck> unity 2D went away Fuzzles, but that is a good thing because they have it working nicely in 12.10 for older machines
[13:20] <obxhdx> designbybeck, have you tried it yourself on an older machine?
[13:21] <designbybeck> yes obxhdx I'm running it on my netbook as well as I've done a live boot and install on an older HP
[13:21] <Fuzzles> designbybeck, what you mean went away?
[13:21] <designbybeck> the older HP only has 512mb
[13:21] <designbybeck> the netbooks has 1gb
[13:21] <designbybeck> let me see if I can find the post Fuzzles
[13:21] <Fuzzles> designbybeck, ok thanks
[13:21] <ThinkT510> Fuzzles: from 12.10 onwards there is no more unity2d
[13:21] <designbybeck> Fuzzles:  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/unity-2d-removed-from-ubuntu-12-10
[13:22] <designbybeck> I've been quite please with Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2
[13:22] <designbybeck> only 16 more days to go ;)
[13:22] <obxhdx> designbybeck, interesting! do you have dedicated video card on your hp?
[13:22] <Fuzzles> designbybeck, so what am i going to do if they take it away :(
[13:22] <designbybeck> no obxhdx both video cards are from the mobo
[13:22] <obxhdx> cool!
[13:22] <designbybeck> it will just work Fuzzles
[13:23] <designbybeck> I think it is magic or something
[13:23] <Fuzzles> designbybeck, what unity 3d?
[13:23] <designbybeck> really try it out! go download the ISO
[13:23] <ThinkT510> !12.10
[13:23] <designbybeck> yes the new unity 3D has a rollback... using opengl iirc
[13:23] <obxhdx> actually, I'd recommend wo wait for the final release
[13:23] <obxhdx> before trying it
[13:23] <obxhdx> just a few more days
[13:24] <designbybeck> i meant as far as a liveboot test obxhdx you don't have to install it yet, but use go to #ubuntu+1 to talk more about it if you have more questions
[13:24] <designbybeck> I keep getting in trouble here ;)
[13:24] <Fuzzles> ye i was thinking about it any idea when its coming out and if i can upgrade properly withour breaking stuff i used linxmint for the past year and back then they had breakage when upgrading

[13:38] <thomaspr> ltop: Site leads me to Flash Player Download Center for supported Linux Operating Systems, where I only find the actual 11.2. which crashes midori :-(
[13:39] <BluesKaj> thomaspr, download the latest linux flash player from adobe , extract it and place the libflashplayer.so file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. get rid of the alternative flashplayer
[13:39] <L3top> thomaspr: scroll down... that is EVERY archived version of flash.
[13:39] <L3top> http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
[13:40] <thomaspr> L3top, there is 11.2. and 10.1. - but seems to be windows versions ?
[13:40] <L3top> seems because it is a zip file?
[13:41] <thomaspr> as adobe writes left of the version names
[13:41] <primski> any knows anything about dnsmasq here? i'd like to set up mine dhcp-only, and just pass <IP_ADDRESS> as dns to clients, can this be done ?

[13:45] <primski> ok thanks
[13:45] <primski> double # ?

[13:45] <LoonaTick> Hi. Anyone know of a project that acts as a fileserver, that can save 100 million files in a redundant and sharded way? I would like to have it saved on 3 servers, be able to take backups and be able to grow to 10 billion files by adding more hardware
[13:46] <BluesKaj> primski, http://www.iceflatline.com/2010/02/how-to-install-and-configure-dnsmasq/
[13:46] <L3top> thomaspr: what I do, is just overwrite libflashplayer.so with the version I want for our hulu player, which brings back not only desktop interoperability but vdpau accel etc.
[13:46] <sab0> hi i am new in ubuntu, my wireless connection is showing disable, can any one please tell me how can i enable wireless in my ubuntu 10.04, thanks?
[13:47] <primski> ok thanks BluesKaj , i'll check it out
[13:48] <FlowRiser> sab0: do you have the right adapter driver module ?
[13:48] <FlowRiser> sab0: search for your own adapter model and see if anyone else is having problems
[13:48] <BluesKaj> primski, I use dns mask but I'm using a static IP  , otherwise I'd advise you further
[13:49] <FlowRiser> sab0: most usually someone already has a module for it
[13:50] <sab0> FlowRiser, not sure but its broadcom STA wireless and i installed the propriety driver
[13:50] <primski> ok BluesKaj no worries, i got it running, just fine tunning now, will figure it out eventually
[13:51] <BluesKaj> primski, right
[13:51] <FlowRiser> sab0, try older proprietary drivers if you can find any
[13:51] <FlowRiser> sab0, or upgrade to 12.04
[13:52] <sab0> FlowRiser, i want to stay 10.04 for some period then will try to upgrade, can you please tell me how will i find the old driver ???
[13:53] <FlowRiser> sab0, search on their website and on google

[13:55] <Domincii> H-hey guys, I was advised earlier to install Windows and dual boot Ubuntu with it for the playing of gaimz, I have windows but I don't have a disk driver (I do, I just don't know how to wire it up properly) and even if I did I don't have a CD big enough to hold the .iso thingy, could I possibly move it to one of my HDD's/SSD's and boot it from there? there is stuff on all of those disks already though, would I have to remove it?
[13:56] <dr_willis> Domincii: you are asjing how to boot a windows iso file?
[13:56] <L3top> Domincii: do you have a thumbdrive? Very easy to install from USB assuming your bios will boot to USB.
[13:56] <designbybeck> Domincii:  what do you mean "disk driver" ?
[13:56] <Domincii> I don't have a thumb drive big enough to hold it sadly
[13:57]  * L3top assumes he means the ubuntu iso...
[13:57] <L3top> guess not
[13:57] <L3top>  /join ##windows
[13:57] <FlowRiser> L3top, omg, satan has a channel!
[13:57] <dr_willis> grub2 can be configured to boot some iso files
[13:57] <ikonia> FlowRiser: please don't
[13:57] <ikonia> it makes this channel look stupid with that sort of comment
[13:57] <Domincii> Only my internal HDD, my external HDD, or my internal SSD, all of those have stuff already stored on them, if I try to boot a different OS from them?
[13:58] <L3top> Domincii: that is not a coherent question. What are you trying to install?
[13:58] <FlowRiser> ikonia, yeah, i guess you're right
[13:58] <Domincii> And to restate, I current have Ubuntu 12.04 install
[13:58] <Domincii> installed*
[13:58] <dr_willis> Domincii:  best would be go get a usb flash
[13:58] <Domincii> I want to install Windows 7
[13:58] <Domincii> I have it as an .iso
[13:58] <L3top> We do not support that here Domincii. /join ##windows
[13:58] <Domincii> I'm told to put it on CD and boot from CD
[13:59] <Domincii> Right
[13:59] <FlowRiser> Domincii, search for a lightweight win7 install
[13:59] <Domincii> I see, thanks
[13:59] <dr_willis> Domincii: you can image ut to usb
[13:59] <L3top> Domincii: be forewarned that windows is going to blow up the MBR and you will have to reinstall grub etc
[13:59] <L3top> Domincii: typically you should install windows first, then ubuntu.
[14:00] <ikonia> FlowRiser: what are you talking about a "light weight" windows install
[14:00] <ikonia> FlowRiser: all windows installs are the same - core OS
[14:00] <L3top> I assume he means like performance edition etc... which are not official windows releases and not licensed.
[14:00] <FlowRiser> L3top, yup
[14:01] <ikonia> right, so recommending illegal products, great
[14:01] <L3top> Cant suggest people violate law here FlowRiser.
[14:01] <Domincii> MBR? what is that?
[14:01] <ikonia> FlowRiser: please don't offer such suggestions
[14:01] <L3top> Domincii: Master Boot Record
[14:02] <Domincii> Aah, right
[14:02] <FlowRiser> ikonia, got it; It's funny, the only reason i installed Ubuntu was to hack into my school's server. From that moment i was hooked onto Ubuntu :D
[14:03] <L3top> Domincii: grub will allow you to boot into either windows or ubuntu or any number of things... windows boot loader only sees windows... it will not recognize your ubuntu install. Again I would recommend backing up your current /home directory, installing windows, then reinstalling ubuntu, and moving /home back or better yet, putting it on its own partition.
[14:04] <Domincii> Could you possibly help me to do that?
[14:04] <LorSamPau_w> L3top, win7/8 loader can be placed on the grub
[14:05] <L3top> yes LorSamPau_w. I am evidently not being clear. Windows boot loader will not give you an option to boot into anything other than windows OS, versus grub.
[14:05] <ThinkT510> LorSamPau_w: no, grub chainloads the windows bootloader
[14:06] <L3top> Domincii: cp /home off onto one of your other drives in the machine. Install windows... then I will help you do anything you like when you get back to the ubuntu install.
[14:07] <frybye> FlowRiser - I don't think you can expect help in commiting unlawfull acts on this irc channel.. btw I am a retired school IT professional.
[14:07] <chris92> L3top: wouldnt it be better to install windows, use livecd to chroot and just reinstall grub?
[14:08] <L3top> That can be done as well... but this will require resizing the ubuntu install, formatting it to ntfs... I was just thinking this way was less error prone.
[14:08] <L3top> chris92: ^
[14:08] <frybye> if you exclaim so clearly that your reason for this installation is to enable hacking into a school server - you are a bit off track here I feel...
[14:08] <Domincii> L3top I'm being told cpL omitting directory /home
[14:08] <bazhang> frybye, lets move on
[14:09] <frybye> bazhang - I can see your point but this kid is not in line expecting help he declares is for school server hacking that can bring a school to its knees sometimes...
[14:09] <chris92> L3top: ahh didnt know what his hard drive setup was
[14:09] <L3top> Domincii: sudo cp -r /home /path/to/drive
[14:10] <sarntam> Hi. I just installed the updates in Ubuntu 12.04 and grub-pc was updated. The update manager told me that there was a conflict in /etc/default/grub because I had previously modified that file, and now the update tried to override my changes. So I selected "show me a 3-way diff" in the combo box and clicked "next", but then the window just went away and I'm stuck with my old /etc/default/grub
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> or sudo rsync -avv --progress
[14:10] <sarntam> what can I do to see the changes that the update wanted to write to that file?
[14:10] <dballester> when booting, if grub says "Error, out of partition" what exactly it means?
[14:11] <L3top> good point MonkeyDust... I do not utilize that awesome utility enough.
[14:11] <DarsVaeda> hey I try to use an ant copy task but it will just not overwrite even overwrite=true is set, any idea?
[14:12] <L3top> afk
[14:13] <Domincii> L3top I've done that command, I moved it to my external HDD, when I input my password I didn't get a password correct or password incorrect message it just moved down to a blank space, however in my External HDD folder a file called System Volume Information was created
[14:14] <mariaf> hoolaaaaaaa
[14:14] <jiffe98> hmm, wondering why the version of nagios in the ubuntu 12.04 repos is several years old even though there's been stable versions since
[14:14] <mariaf> :(
[14:15] <ThinkT510> !latest | jiffe98
[14:15] <iDangerMouse> Mariaf you need help ?
[14:15] <jiffe98> ThinkT510: that's why I included the stable release statement
[14:16] <jiffe98> I just created a new machine for nagios and it turns out ubuntu installed the same version I installed on our current machine in 2008
[14:16] <bazhang> jiffe98, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro. you can compile or look for a PPA if you wish to bypass package management
[14:16] <ThinkT510> jiffe98: what was the current stable release during april?
[14:16] <jiffe98> ThinkT510: 3.3.1
[14:17] <nikitis> Can anyone tell me how to join the steam linux beta?
[14:17] <Domincii> If I format my boot drive will I be able to install my Windows .iso onto it and restart to install Windows or will it mess everything up?
[14:17] <chris92> nikitis: its a closed beta for 1000 people invited by valve
[14:17] <ThinkT510> jiffe98: and what is in the repos?
[14:17] <chris92> nikitis: at this point, its not possible to join it
[14:18] <jiffe98> ThinkT510: 3.2.3
[14:18] <frybye> nikitis - its a small by invitation beta as far as I know...
[14:18] <nikitis> chris92: I applied by email to them a couple of weeks ago,
[14:18] <chris92> nikitis: if you didnt receive an answer, then you probably aren't invited
[14:19] <nikitis> that would be sad.  I was a beta tester for original steam and have been wanting this since back then.
[14:19] <jiffe98> not that big a deal, I can install that myself if I need it, just trying to get a grasp of how these packages move along
[14:19] <chris92> nikitis: as far as I know, the beta didnt even start yet
[14:20] <nikitis> chris92: i know, but invites have to go out before
[14:20] <chris92> nikitis: they probably get sent on the same day via a steam gift + email
[14:21] <frybye> nikitis: here is an article ab out it (in German - use tlx service if needed.) http://www.golem.de/news/valve-steam-fuer-ubuntu-kommt-in-betaphase-1209-94794.html
[14:22] <L3top> Domincii: as you may have noticed I am going in and out. I am testing atm so I am going to continue to be in and out for the next 30 min or so.
[14:22] <Domincii> L3top no problem dude, thanks for your help so far, maybe I'll catch you later!
[14:23] <chris92> nikitis: there will be a signup form for the external beta, according to their blog
[14:23] <chris92> nikitis: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/

[14:24] <decci> How can I decompile .so file
[14:34] <diverdude> whenever i try to sudo apt-get install something i get dependency errors. Can i somehow ask apt to also install required dependencies?
[14:34] <BluesKaj> diverdude, sudo apt-get -f install
[14:36] <diverdude> BluesKaj: i think that will just force the install...i dont think that will install the dependencies
[14:37] <resure> What is the right way to completely remove package (including init scripts and all it's configs; bitlbee for example)?
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> resure  try this    dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' |  sudo xargs dpkg -P
[14:38] <Perkabalo> Hi I'm having problems with ubuntu, just installed, everythings fine, but I want to be able to connect to it remotely, installed X11VNC Server, I'm able to connect, but I'm getting a blank screen.
[14:39] <compdoc> Perkabalo, a grey, checkerboard-like screen?
[14:39] <compdoc> or grid
[14:40] <Perkabalo> Nope, just black and white box on top of the scrren
[14:40] <compdoc> good, we need as many as we can get
[14:40] <BluesKaj> diverdude, which app dependencies
[14:41] <diverdude> BluesKaj: ohhh a lot...whenever i do apt-get install it says   Depends: libqt4-dbus (...) but is not going to be installed. and similar for other libs
[14:43] <os_> hi
[14:44] <os_> how can i start a session in a particular language
[14:44] <os_> ?
[14:45] <decci> How can I decompile .so file
[14:45] <layke__> Potentially silly question... But can I switch out my drive with ubuntu into any other system? ie.. I'm going to replace my mobo/cpu and ram.. but keep my SSD.
[14:46] <tsimpson> decci: decompile? in general you can't, though you can disassemble with objdump
[14:46] <rumpe1> layke__, yes, you can
[14:46] <llutz> layke__: shouldn't be a problem
[14:46] <layke__> Okay thanks. Years ago I had troubles with Windows, but wasn't sure if Ubuntu had similar hardware constraints in place.
[14:46] <compdoc> layke__, usually works fine
[14:46] <layke__> Don't know why they would exist anyway :)
[14:47] <rumpe1> layke__, except when you have a 64bit OS and try to put into a 32bit system...
[14:47] <layke__> Yeah of course rumpe1. I'll stick to the same 64,.
[14:47] <lledet> hi, how do i add name servers to /etc/resolv.conf so they will still be there when i reboot? i've tried several ways and nothing is working
[14:47] <compdoc> layke__, you might have issues with networking when it adds another nic
[14:47] <compdoc> it might not forget the old one
[14:47] <llutz> layke__: if you change graphics-adapter it might be a bit tricky too
[14:48] <MonkeyDust> !resolvconf > llutz
[14:48] <lledet> !resolvconf > lledet
[14:48] <layke__> Yup cheers. Just wanted to make sure.
[14:48] <leaftwig> How do I get rid of the Brasero my system claims already runs but I don't see?
[14:49] <dballester> scenario: /dev/sda1 partition with root and /boot ( no boot partition ). Once system installed, tried to do /dev/sda1 smaller: fdisk /dev/sda and deleted partition 1, recreated with 50% of space. After reboot, when booting grub says "Error: out of partition"
[14:49] <dballester> and impossible to boot
[14:49] <leaftwig> nm got it killed
[14:49] <lledet> MonkeyDust: thanks
[14:50] <Snaker> hi
[14:50] <dballester> in theory it should work if i respect the partitions first sector when recreating the partition
[14:50] <leaftwig> how long should it take to create an image checksum?
[14:51] <leaftwig> in brasero ._.
[14:51] <Snaker> how do you change the contets of a file? trying to add a line but  says "could not save the file /etc/apt/sources.list"
[14:51] <jrib> !sudo | Snaker
[14:51] <Perkabalo> compdoc, got it to work now
[14:51] <jrib> Snaker: what are you adding by the way?
[14:52] <Snaker> the tor package repository
[14:52] <compdoc> Perkabalo, I use vnc4server, so sorry I couldnt help
[14:53] <Snaker> i dont know much linux commands so i dont know what to type after sudo
[14:53] <chris92> snaker: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> Snaker  sudo apt-get install tor
[14:53] <sachael> anyone notice that evince is getting slow as molasses lately? takes ages to render a page. the alternatives don't seem so good either...
[14:54] <Snaker> MonkeyDust: the repository thing provided with the system is not working correctly for some
[14:54] <Snaker> chris92: thanks will try it
[14:54] <llutz> Snaker: echo "deb     http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org precise main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> Snaker  the rhe repository thing? not working correctly?
[14:55] <Snaker> MonkeyDust: yeah its out of date like 99% of the package thjhings in software center
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> Snaker  ok, but out of the repos is not supported here
[14:56] <Snaker> llutz: should i enter what cchris92 said or what you just typed?
[14:56] <ThinkT510> Snaker: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[14:56] <Snaker> precise
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> Snaker  bleeding edge tends to be unstable, that's why it's not in the repos
[14:56] <ThinkT510> Snaker: what exactly is out of date?
[14:56] <llutz> Snaker: i prefer to have single files for non-standard repos in sources.listd/* instead of a growing sources.list  file. it's your choice
[14:57] <Snaker> MonkeyDust: oh :O
[14:57] <Snaker> ThinkT510: torproject.org doesnt recommend installing tor  through software center
[14:58] <ThinkT510> !tor | Snaker
[14:59] <lolek> hello , who can check mu phpinfo ( corrcected configured webserver)
[15:00] <Snaker> llutz: ah, sounds like it requires a little knowledge about linux to do that. i dont mind that, but just going to register as anonymous as possible on some website so i installed ubuntu on a virtual machine and thought using tor would help a little. the mac address will stay the same but thats the best a newbie can do im guessing
[15:00] <BluesKaj> diverdude, this used to work in a lot of cases , sudo dpkg --configure -a , then , sudo apt-get install -f
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> Snaker  the Ghostery plugin blocks all trackers on websites, it makes you kind of anonymoes too
[15:01] <Snaker> MonkeyDust: never ever heard of it, are they both good?
[15:01] <llutz> Snaker: the way to add a repository has nothing to do with the usage of tor. Tor is an important project, unfortunately still lacking servers/bandwidth
[15:02] <Snaker> ah ok

[15:06] <NcA> anybody know of an alternative to "keyboardcast" that actually works in 12.04?
[15:08] <arooni-mobile> ubuntu 12.04;  audio works fine... but when i plug the earphones in; i can't hear anything... how can i resolve this without restarting my computer??
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> "With keyboardcast you can send keystrokes to any number of windows you select simultaneously."
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> looks interesting
[15:08] <dballester> i used it to install Oracle RAC in several nodes, works like a champion
[15:09] <L3mce> !bcm43xx | sab0
[15:10] <sab0> L3mce, can you please tell me how to install that?
[15:10] <L3mce> sab0: Read the link.
[15:10] <diverdude> if i do dpkg -r virtualbox-4.2 the machine uninstalls virtualbox, but there is still /etc/init.d/vboxdrv and also the group called vboxusers. why is that not removed?
[15:10] <L3mce> sab0: Not being rude, just very busy, and it is all right there.
[15:10] <llutz> diverdude: dpkg -P
[15:11] <cfhowlett> sab0: disabled wifi usually means the hardware switch has been flipped.
[15:11] <thomaspr> L3top: yep, there in is the stuff for linux :-)
[15:12] <llutz> diverdude: use -P/--purge if you want configs to be removed too.
[15:12] <diverdude> llutz: aha ok...but group is still present

[15:15] <Kittens> I'm just going to be making an emulator box for my room so I can play retro games while my videos encode and such
[15:15] <diverdude> llutz: so basically my system could still be completely full of crap which was not properly removed
[15:15] <jrib> Domincii: what's your actual issue?
[15:16] <resure> Strange, ZNC doesn't connect to local bitlbee.
[15:16] <llutz> diverdude: basically yes, but unlikely in real.  one more problem with 3rd-party packages
[15:16] <Domincii> I'm trying to install a 32bit library via getlibs
[15:16] <Domincii> for WoW
[15:16] <jrib> Domincii: why?
[15:16] <Domincii> Because I can't run WoW without it freezing every two or three minutes
[15:16] <diverdude> llutz: thing is that 3rd party packages may be necessary because ubuntu is slow in getting new packs in the repo :(
[15:17] <resure> Domincii: it's break time
[15:17] <taskb4r> Kittens: checkout wah arcade. Its a nice frontend for all sorts of emus
[15:17] <Domincii> resure, pardon?
[15:17] <llutz> diverdude: well, there are rolling-release distros...
[15:17] <jrib> Domincii: are you following winehq appdb?
[15:17] <Domincii> yes
[15:17] <Domincii> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1256088/
[15:17] <diverdude> llutz: of ubuntu?
[15:17] <Domincii> i'm getting this message when i open wow via terminal
[15:17] <llutz> diverdude: nope
[15:17] <jrib> Domincii: can you link me to exactly what you are following at appdb?
[15:18] <resure> Domincii: that freezes are time for relaxing between small quests
[15:18] <Domincii> a 60 second freeze every couple of minutes makes the game essentially unplayable
[15:19] <Domincii> jrib http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24878
[15:19] <jrib> Domincii: is getlibs mentioned there?
[15:19] <Domincii> No, that's an answer I found here http://askubuntu.com/questions/127848/wine-cant-find-gnome-keyring-pkcs11-so
[15:20] <jrib> Domincii: so how are you getting from appdb to there...?
[15:20] <Domincii> google
[15:20] <jrib> Domincii: just follow appdb
[15:20] <Domincii> the appdb area didn't mention anything about the problem i've encountered
[15:20] <Domincii> i followed it to the letter for my install
[15:20] <Domincii> but there's nothing written about my specific problem
[15:21] <jrib> Domincii: great.  So what's your specific problem?
[15:22] <Domincii> Jrib, it's installed perfectly, it will open and I can log in etc, however it freezes every couple of minutes for a long period of time, usually 40-60 seconds
[15:23] <jrib> Domincii: there's talk about that on the appdb page
[15:24] <jrib> Domincii: what's the output of « apt-cache policy wine »?

[15:28] <max999> hi. i am using ubuntu 12 and cant get my logitech g9x mouse wheel working. i uses the evdev driver, at least xorg.0.log tells me
[15:28] <Domincii> jrib, where on the appdb page should I be looking?
[15:29] <jrib> Domincii: you can search the page for "freez"
[15:30] <Domincii> jrib, thanks, sorry.
[15:31] <fruitflies> i'm looking for an IRC client for Ubuntu that is as user-friendly and featured as LimeChat for OS X.  for example, just some pre-installed themes and automatic nick highlighting would be nice.  :)
[15:31] <ThinkT510> fruitflies: try xchat
[15:31] <Domincii> jrib, it's telling me to downgrade wine from 1.5 to 1.4, how can i do that?
[15:31] <jrib> Domincii: what's the output of « apt-cache policy wine »?
[15:32] <Domincii> jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/1256151/
[15:32] <jrib> Domincii: use ppa-purge on that ppa you have there
[15:33] <max999> can anyone help me? why is ubuntu using my the 2 extra buttons as a mouse wheel on my logitech g9x mouse instead of the real wheel?
p is set by what program? it mirrors/turns off my monitors
[15:34] <fruitflies> Thinkt510: ok, ty
[15:35] <Domincii> jrib, done
[15:35] <jrib> Domincii: check that wine was downgraded
[15:37] <Slart> max999: from my limited experience with mice in linux it seems there are no difference between the mouse wheel and the other buttons.. rolling the wheel just sends repeated BUTTON 5 messages to the system (5 is just an example)
[15:37] <Kittens> is there a way to leave a message for someone in this channel?
[15:37] <Domincii> jrib according to wine --version it's still 1.5.14
[15:37] <hungryhubby> hey people not yet solved my problem with wired network still not working
[15:38] <jrib> Domincii: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy wine
[15:38] <Slart> max999: so you need to find a way of telling the system that these buttons are a scroll wheel and not regular buttons.. I think this used to be configured in xorg.conf but these days I'm not sure any more
[15:38] <cfhowlett> hungryhubby: restate the details
[15:38] <hungryhubby> can somebody solve this problem iam trying out........using natty
[15:39] <Domincii> jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/1256170/
[15:39] <hungryhubby> output of some of errors here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230368/
[15:39] <max999> slart: i found some hints to use  xorg.conf on google too but the lines people added there were not related to changing the way a button behaves
[15:39] <jrib> Domincii: you haven't removed the ppa using ppa-purge
[15:39] <crazydip> stupid gnome devs and their hidden key shortcuts! why oh why are they not in the keyboard shortcut app? :(
[15:39] <Domincii> I copied http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/
[15:39] <Domincii> and wrote sudo ppa-purge http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/
[15:40] <BluesKaj> hungryhubby, have you run , sudo dhclient eth0 , or whatever your ethernet is called
[15:40] <hungryhubby> network is blocked....
[15:40] <Slart> max999: have you seen this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto
[15:40] <jrib> Domincii: and?  What was the output?  I don't think that's the proper syntax
[15:40] <Slart> max999: not sure if that's up to date but it might give you some ideas to try
[15:40] <hivar> hungryhubby: i wrote you pm
[15:40] <jj995> I've got a motherboard with only one SATA port, and both my DVD drive and hard drive are SATA -- to install Ubuntu from a live CD, can I boot with the DVD drive hooked up, let the system load up into memory, disconnect the DVD drive and hook up the harddrive?  will that work, or am I just going to risk shocking myself for no reason?
[15:41] <BluesKaj> hungryhubby, run the command I posted and paste the output in pastebin pls
[15:41] <Domincii> jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/1256171/
[15:41] <hivar>  jj995: why not install from USB?
[15:41] <hungryhubby> eth0 isnt showing up in the that....also when i trying to put MAC address inside wired device Mac number in network app iam getting grayed
[15:41] <Slart> jj995: no usb-ports where you could hook up an usb stick?
[15:41] <max999> slart: thanks that should help will try to remap
[15:41] <jrib> Domincii: did you read it?
[15:41] <fruitflies> jj995: afaik you need to read FROM the disc and write TO the hdd in order to install
[15:41] <fruitflies> at the same time
[15:42] <Slart> jj995: (oh and to answer your question.. I'm not sure but I think it needs the disc during the install)
[15:42] <Domincii> jrib, apt-update didnt do anything
[15:42] <jrib> Domincii: did you read what you just pasted?
[15:42] <jj995> Slart: thanks but my dumb motherboard doesn't appear to support booting from USB
[15:42] <STMelon_> ------------> sudo apt-get update
[15:42] <Domincii> jrib yes
[15:42] <jj995> it does support booting from network, but those instructions seem sort of complicated
[15:42] <jrib> Domincii: it says it couldn't remove the ppa you specified.  Try this: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
[15:42] <Slart> jj995: usb connected cd drive?
[15:43] <Slart> jj995: or you cant boot from that either?
[15:43] <Domincii> jrib it deleted loads of my stuff :(
[15:44] <jrib> Domincii: it shouldn't do that without asking for confirmation
[15:44] <Domincii> jrib it said it was going to clear space in wine, I'm unsure as to why it deleted Skype, that was installed independently of Wine
[15:45] <jrib> Domincii: I don't know.  You should be able to just install the packages back though
[15:45] <Domincii> jrib, never mind, it's all gone now (wine I mean) how do I reinstall as 1.4?
[15:46] <Praxi> on windows command line I can do dir sale*.txt, in ubuntu whats the equivalent of that with LS?  I figured a way around it doing ls | grep sale but thats not really the same and its a lot more typing
[15:47] <Pici> Praxi: ls sale*.txt
[15:47] <edve> hi ppl
[15:47] <Praxi> hmm it didn't work for me Pici, let me check to make sure it wasn't a boneheaded moment
[15:47] <max999> slart: i can sucessfully map other buttons on my mouse wheel like rightclick and i can map it to (obviously) use the function of mouse wheel scrolling down ur up (button 4 / 5) but i didnt figure out yet, how to just make it use the scroll
[15:48] <Pici> Praxi: Remember that Linux is case sensitive.  Are you sure that your filenames aren't mixed case?
[15:48] <Praxi> ahh heres the problem, so in windows that command is 1 depth, in ubuntu its giving me stuff in sub folders and its organized badly
[15:48] <jrib> Domincii: just installing wine should installing 1.4
[15:48] <jrib> -ing
[15:48] <Praxi> guess I should say sub directories before someone stones me
[15:49] <Pumpkin-> Pici: ls sale*.txt will generally work, but the way it works in windows/linux is quite different. In windows, the program gets passed the *, and the program is responsible for managing that. In linux, when you do "ls sale*.txt", ls gets passed the arguments for EVERYTHING that matches it, so for example "ls *" on a directory with files "a", "b", "c" and a directory called "d" would be the same as "ls a b c d"
[15:50] <Slart> max999: I've got no good answers for you.. it's been to long since I had to mess with the mouse buttons.. the last versions of ubuntu just got it working for me out of the box.. you can use xev to see what mouse button messages are sent when you click different stuff.. after that I guess googling and asking here might be your best options
[15:50] <Pumpkin-> since d is a directory, and "ls d" would list the contents of that directory, thats what you will get
[15:50] <Pici> Pumpkin-: I'm aware, but as Praxi said sale*.txt, I figured that it wouldn't match a directory name.
[15:50] <Pumpkin-> I meant Praxi :)
[15:50] <Pumpkin-> damn you for both having names that start with P
[15:51] <Pumpkin-> it is something I find a lot of people struggle with at first
[15:51] <qw[Russian]> hello people
[15:51] <Praxi> LOL
[15:51] <qw[Russian]> help me plea
[15:51] <jrib> Praxi: you probably just want ls -d
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> qw[Russian]  start with a question
[15:52] <Pici> Praxi: find might also do what you want if you have files with different cases, something like: find /path/ -maxdepth 1 -iname "file*txt"
[15:52] <Praxi> hmm yes in the particular case I'm working on now, it is directories.  so -d is directory?
[15:52] <qw[Russian]> i would like install in Chromium Flash player
[15:52] <qw[Russian]> help me please
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> !flash
[15:52] <twitchie> !help | qw[Russian]
[15:52] <Praxi> ya I'm pretty familiar with case problems Pici, I'm use to find / -iname hehe
[15:52] <qw[Russian]> maybe use command in konsole?
[15:53] <jrib> Praxi: « ls directory » will list the contents of directory.  « ls -d directory » will just return "directory" (ls won't enter into the directory and list its contents)
[15:53] <twitchie> 37 ping ftw
[15:54] <scarrs> I need a hand pls... I changed /etc/apache2/ports.conf to reflect the port I haveopen in my firewall but apache is not working (duh)
[15:54] <Praxi> I have a big directory couple hundred items, mostly folders at the root, few files, If I was on windows and did dir sale* it would show me directories and files, but only at the root.  How can I repeat that?  on my big directory if I do ls sale* I get everything in the subdirectories also, making the listing worse.  the -d helped, just trying to future proof :)
[15:55] <BluesKaj> qw[Russian], which desktop are you using , for unity install ubuntu-restricted-extras, for kde , kubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:55] <cire> Are there any webcams to buy with native kernel support? Without the need for compiling a module etc.
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> cire  wrong channel
[15:55] <Slart> cire: there used to be a site listing different webcams and how well they work.. can't rememeber the url though
[15:55] <Slart> !webcam
[15:55] <jrib> Praxi: future proof what?  What exactly are you doing with the listing?
[15:56] <Praxi> if I want a list of files and directories in the root
[15:56] <jrib> Praxi: ls
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> or ls /
[15:56] <cire> Thank you, I will have a look thewre
[15:56] <jrib> Praxi: or « ls -a » if you want the hidden ones too
[15:56] <Praxi> ls sale* returns things from all subdirectories
[15:56] <Slart> Praxi: why not go with  ls | grep -i "sale*"
[15:56] <qw[Russian]> i am not understand
[15:56] <jrib> Praxi: why are you passing "sale*" if you want all the files and directories in the root?
[15:57] <Slart> Praxi: it might seem nasty and long but it's very flexible
[15:57] <Praxi> I want the windows behavior of dir sale* where it returns things matching sale from the current directory.  Sorry my root was a misnomer
[15:57] <jrib> Praxi: ls -d sale*
[15:57] <Praxi> thats only directories though isn't it?
[15:57] <jrib> Praxi: no
[15:57] <Praxi> ahh!
[15:58] <confusedTom> if i have different repositories in my sources.list that offer the same program, how do I chose which version gets installed?
[15:58] <Praxi> thanks all! :)
[15:58] <jjb123> Hey everyone, quick question. How can I install an application from the repository as a different user? I want to install gitolite and have it run under a "git" user that I made. Any ideas?
[15:58] <Praxi> scarrs, I think your in the wrong channel for that, but have you checked your virtual directories in apache2.conf or any other conf files?
[15:59] <Praxi> jjb123, su?
[15:59] <Pici> jjb123: Unless the package was already configured to do that at install time, you can't. You'll just have to install and then change the configuration afterwards.
[15:59] <lsj8925> ?
[16:00] <jjb123> Pici: Hum, could I use su to log in as that user and then apt-get install from there?
[16:00] <tryy3> is it possible to transfare a file from windows 7 to ubuntu when you dual-boot?
[16:00] <Pici> jjb123: apt-get installs stuff for the entire system, it has nothing to do with what user your run it as.
[16:00] <ThinkT510> tryy3: yes, mount the windows partition
[16:00] <lsj8925> I want to learn python,which channel should i go?
[16:00] <jrib> lsj8925: take one guess :)
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> tryy3  if you're in ubuntu, mount the ntfs partition, cp the files you need
[16:00] <Praxi> tryy3, ubuntu can mount the windows partition, not so much if you want windows to see the file
[16:01] <scarrs> Praxi: ty but I just solved my problem :)
[16:01] <jrib> lsj8925: (#python should be your guess)
[16:01] <ThinkT510> lsj8925: you've been told multiple times: /join #python
[16:01] <lsj8925> o
[16:01] <Praxi> was I close scarrs? :)
[16:01] <scarrs> Praxi: yes you were
[16:01] <Praxi> woot!

[16:35] <jake_> Can someone help me?
[16:35] <LoonaTick> zauberparacelsus: If you use the cli, trickle
[16:35] <zauberparacelsus> LoonaTick: not using the CLI, it's the GUI version
[16:35] <AlonzoTG> I hate linux
[16:35] <lsj8925> why
[16:35] <lsj8925> AlonzoTG: why
[16:35] <AlonzoTG> My main computer speakers go down, so I try to listen to Alex Jones on my eeepc...
[16:36] <confusedTom> thanks for not helping.
[16:36] <AlonzoTG> then I discovered that no sound driver was loaded.
[16:36] <AlonzoTG> even though its just a basic intel chipset.
[16:36] <AlonzoTG> no sound. =(
[16:36] <GirlyGIrl> qw[Russian]: Ubuntu maverick is not supported any more, update to a newer release
[16:36] <AlonzoTG> no usable utilities either.
[16:36] <GirlyGIrl> !eol | qw[Russian]
[16:36] <lsj8925> sorry to hear that
[16:37] <AlonzoTG> and its slow to the point of being unusable...
[16:37] <AlonzoTG> Yes it's an early model eeepc,
[16:37] <LoonaTick> zauberparacelsus: Then I don't know, sorry. Perhaps you can change the path to the thing in your menu bar and still add trickle? I never tried but think trickle should also work for GUI applications

[16:50] <BluesKaj> !ppa | myhero
[16:51] <myhero> !addppa
[16:52] <BluesKaj> !tar | myhero
[16:52] <myhero> BluesKaj: but how to install from tarball ?
[16:53] <reed> myhero, it depends on the content of the tarball
[16:53] <reed> myhero, a tarball is like a zip file, it may contain a binary executable or source code that needs to be built
[16:54] <BluesKaj> myhero, there is usually a readme file, an install text file to guide installation
[16:55] <myhero> reed: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gyachi/ BluesKaj this is the tarball...i want to install it....i am doing as said in the install text file but still problems
[16:55] <BluesKaj> myhero, if you can find a deb version of the same file it would be much easier that having to compile
[16:56] <myhero> BluesKaj: i looked for deb but looks like its not available
[16:57] <llutz> myhero: " Last Update: 2011-09-03" are you sure you want to use that?
[16:57] <reed> an IRC client?
[16:57] <BluesKaj> myhero, then you need to install build-essential and  perhaps cmake as well , these are required to compile apps from source
[16:57] <llutz> !compile | myhero
[16:57] <llutz> !checkinstall | myhero
[16:58] <AndChat|336756> you guys eating?
[16:59] <myhero> llutz: BluesKaj if u can find any newer pre compiled versions coz i looked for them but to no avail. and i need to learn this tarball coz everytime it comes from somewhere or the other
[16:59] <hal1> could someone tell me the best way to disable avahi, please?
[17:00] <jticket> Speech disabled.
[17:00] <myhero> llutz: BluesKaj - MonkeyDust recommended a deb version but its too old and for karmic
[17:01] <BluesKaj> myhero, like i said extract the file and look for the "Readme" and "Install" text files in the extracted folder , these are very straight forward instructions and easy to follow
[17:01] <sayers> sudo dpkg -i test.deb
[17:02] <jticket> Disabled freenode speech.
[17:02] <myhero> also one question - does compiling app on local system gives a better and smoother performing app as compared to pre-compiled deb or ppa build ?
[17:02] <myhero> i do sudo dpkg -E -G -i *.deb
[17:03] <bekks> myhero: No.
[17:03] <BluesKaj> myhero, not really , they're just packaged differently , unless of course one is newer than the other
[17:03] <myhero> bekks: no for what ? my question or my pkg command option ?
[17:03] <myhero> dpkg*
[17:04] <myhero> BluesKaj: ok
[17:04] <bekks> myhero: On your question
[17:04] <myhero> ok
[17:06] <Gycklarn> Is anyone here good with shell scripting? I want to write an "if" statements like the following pseudo-code: "if $variable is either A, B org C, then..." Anyone know the easiest way to do this?
[17:07] <reed> myhero, you don't need to build from source in modern systems... it's time wasted, unless you're learning how to build from source :)
[17:07] <Gycklarn> s/org/or
[17:07] <ikonia> Gycklarn: a "case"
[17:07] <brontosaurusrex> Gycklarn, /j #bash
[17:07] <Gycklarn> ikonia, ty. brontosaurusrex, I'll take a look, thanks!
[17:08] <myhero> reed: i really wanna learn coz where ever you go...its not necessary that you will have deb or ppa but you will get the tarball for sure
[17:08] <reed> myhero, never had to deal with a tarball since 1998
[17:09] <reed> myhero, modern distributions have all the software you need :) and it comes in a very nice 'app store' fashion
[17:09] <reed> if the software is not packaged is usually a good sign that it's crap
[17:09] <myhero> reed: problem is that apps get updated by makers and on their site with tarball but it stays outdated on repos for a long time, so its looking like everyone should have the knowledge of handling tarball
[17:10] <wilee-nilee> reed, Could you generalize the fud just a little more to convince everyone.
[17:10] <azm> hello,  Itried to isntall ubuntu twice on different partitions andeven crearted separate /boot but after installation it alawys loads windows 7
[17:10] <azm> without any grub
[17:11] <azm> I tried the chroot metoohd/live cd method
[17:11] <azm> everything
[17:11] <myhero> reed: yea you are right bu this is not necessary on all occassions...like if you want winrar for ubuntu and when you go on their site then there is no deb or ppa available but what you get is tarball
[17:11] <azm> when I installed ubuntu in past it always automatucally installed grub
[17:11] <azm> why not now ?
[17:12] <reed> myhero, that's my point, you don't need winrar
[17:12] <reed> myhero, install unrar and all your rars will uncompress with the normal compress application from gnome/kde whatever
[17:12] <RiXtEr> Hello all, is there a way through apt to upgrade to 12.10 yet?
[17:13] <wilee-nilee> azm, download this to a live cd, run the bootinfo summary and post the http where its at. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[17:14] <myhero> reed: you don't need it and maybe some others too...but think in general.....i have switched from win to linux recently and i love winrar so besides i don't need it but stilli want to keep it....just feels a lil bit at home win feeling
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> azm, The bootscript will cut through the 20 questions and outline your setup so we can actually help.
[17:15] <reed> myhero, nobody needs winrar on Ubuntu! that's my point. If it's not packaged, it's not needed because Ubuntu has its own native/better way to deal with that
[17:15] <reed> myhero, I understood you switched recently, you need to learn the new way :)
[17:16] <wilee-nilee> RiXtEr, I don't believe so, you might ask on the development channel #ubuntu+1
[17:16] <reed> and the new way is: search for software in the software center, not on google... Ubuntu has it all
[17:16] <RiXtEr> wilee-nilee, thanks.
[17:16] <myhero> reed: yes anyways thats the whole reason behind learning tarball
[17:17] <myhero> reed: winrar was just an example
[17:17] <reed> myhero, tarball are *not* necessary either
[17:17] <reed> myhero, you need an IRC client: xchat-gnome
[17:17] <myhero> reed: means ?
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> myhero  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[17:17] <reed> myhero, if you're studying how to develop software then go ahead and start tooling with source code
[17:18] <myhero> reed: why ? is this webchat not enough ? i have irssi installed
[17:18] <reed> myhero, but if you just need an IRC client, a compress/uncompress for rar files, anything search in  the Software Center
[17:19] <jaslap> msg nickserv identify 911my2rightlegs
[17:19] <reed> if that fails, search on Google but whatever you find, if it's not packaged for Ubuntu usually it means it's bad software or too young to be trusted
[17:19] <reed> jaslap, change your password :)
[17:19] <jaslap> :(
[17:19] <gordonjcp> jaslap: fayle
[17:20] <myhero> reed: ok i get your point
[17:20] <gordonjcp> jaslap: fwiw I've never been convinced about 911s either

[17:40] <trism> doug1: dch -v 1.0.10; ? the manpage says it should increment with -i for native packages but I'm still getting ubuntu1 in precise so not sure otherwise
[17:42] <infosociety> good afternoon everyone.
[17:42] <infosociety> does anyone have time to help me for a minute?
[17:43] <infosociety> quick question about removing a file from my source list
[17:43] <wilee-nilee> infosociety, This channel works as ask the specific question not a plea for help.
[17:44] <infosociety> fair enough.
[17:44] <infosociety> unable to delete a file from etc/sources.list.d/
[17:44] <doug1> trism: yeah, -i does weird stuff.
[17:44] <doug1> trism: it wants to turn 1.0.9 into 1.0.9ubuntu1 ....
[17:45] <wilee-nilee> infosociety, several methods here. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/how-to-use-launchpad-ppa-add-remove.html
[17:46] <g0hww> hiya. I'm using 12.04 on x86_64.  i've been experiencing crackling sounds when playing Kerbal Space Program in wine for a while, but their quite faint compared to the roar of rocket engines and explosions, so I've not been to bothered by them.  Now I'm feeding my ham radio transmitter  with with soundcard generated  audio and it is being transmitted along with significant crackling sounds.  I've read reports of this issue on 64 bit systems
[17:46] <g0hww> , but seen no conclusive solutions.  Any ideas?
[17:46] <infosociety> alright, tyvm will start to read and hopefully it will answer my question.. very much appreciated.
[17:48] <xocolatl_> hi, I have an interesting problem.  since yesterday (or maybe the day before) my ubuntu 12.04 won't keep the screen off.  I leave the lid up on my laptop and after a few minutes of inactivity the screen goes out (normal) but then a minute later it comes back on (not normal), and then off and on again forever.  please help fix
[17:48] <xocolatl_> I do not recall changing any settings recently
[17:48] <xocolatl_> perhaps a recent unity update did it?
[17:49] <wilee-nilee> xocolatl_
[17:49] <wilee-nilee> \
[17:50] <xocolatl_> wilee-nilee, yes?
[17:50] <wilee-nilee> xocolatl_ sorry mistaken enter press. ;)
[17:51] <xocolatl_> no problem.  do you have any idea what I can look at for this problem?
[17:51] <wilee-nilee> xocolatl_, Not really sorry.
[17:51] <xocolatl_> kthx
[17:52] <doug1> God knows why ubuntu packaging is so damned complicated.
[17:53] <crizis> doug1,  checkinstall -D -y = easy :D
[17:53] <snype> hi
[17:53] <snype> where can i find some hacker help?
[17:53] <xangua> nycsd: wrong channel, wrong network :)
[17:54] <repigoz> МДК
[17:54] <wilee-nilee> snype, be prepared to be pwnd if you do. ;)
[17:54] <doug1> crizis: Dunno what that is.
[17:55] <fluitfries> i am using UNetBootin to make a USB with Edubuntu.  can someone please tell me what partition scheme and filesystem type i need to have on the USB??
[17:55] <LoOoD> Does anyone know why this part of the preseed for raid isn't picking up the mount options? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1256483/
[17:55] <crizis> doug1, doesn't really make "proper" packages with dependensies, but good for your own usage
[17:55] <crizis> doug1, replace 'make install' with 'checkinstall -D -y' and you get .deb out of it
[17:56] <xangua> fluitfries: fat32 should be enought, remember Unetbootin will wipe all the data in the usb stick
[17:58] <fluitfries> xangua, master boot record, and fat32?
[17:58] <fluitfries> xangua, unetbootin doesn't seem to like my ubuntu-created ntfs :(
[18:00] <oopepe> Hi, i dont have access to ubuntu atm. Could someone post the /etc/default/tomcat7 file somewhere please?
[18:01] <Doxin> what's the idiom for compiling something in a build dir? I recal cding to the build dir and then invoking make in the source dir somehow. anyone got any pointers?
[18:01] <doug1> crizis: oh... awesome.... yet another toolchain...
[18:02] <bobweaver> Doxin,  what  are you using ? cmake autotools ?
[18:03] <Doxin> bobweaver: i'm not quite sure, it's not my code.
[18:04] <Doxin> bobweaver: what I'd usually do is just ./configure; make;
[18:04] <bobweaver> Doxin,  it is good to keep the build dir clean for when you want to package easy way with cmake would be to go to source dir and mkdir build ; cd build  ; cmake ../  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/path_were_it_installs       then you can clean up with a simple rm build
[18:05] <bobweaver> Doxin,  where did you get the code ?
[18:05] <bobweaver> Doxin,  can I see the it ?
[18:05] <Doxin> bobweaver: trying to compile gcc at the moment if it helps
[18:05] <Doxin> bobweaver: so ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/mirror/languages/gcc/releases/gcc-4.7.2/gcc-4.7.2.tar.bz2 [large download]
[18:06] <ikonia> Doxin: why are you building gcc ?
[18:06] <bobweaver> What you are building gcc ? why ?
[18:06] <Doxin> ikonia: because I can.
[18:06] <ikonia> Doxin: why ?
[18:06] <Gallomimia> excuse me i'm trying to get a quick answer about the better-than-cron services such as inetd available in ubuntu server 12.04. more likely i just want to know what's installed by default
[18:06] <ikonia> Doxin: and you can't, that's why you're asking in here
[18:06] <gyre007> can anyone tell me why in the heck does the following logrotate not work...Im banging my head against the table...https://gist.github.com/3821836
[18:06] <Doxin> ikonia: I can, I just need some help on a specific nicety
[18:06] <luist> where can i put a script to run on startup?
[18:06] <ikonia> Doxin: why are you doing this ?
[18:06] <gyre007> running out of ideas...even when I force it by running logrotate mongodb....still the mongo file is not rotated
[18:07] <ikonia> Doxin: gcc is pacakged for ubuntu
[18:07] <gyre007> arrgh
[18:07] <bobweaver> Doxin,  you can install from repo  and  sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
[18:07] <ikonia> Doxin: you can just install the package
[18:07] <Gallomimia> also i have a failure in motd- service and don't understand how to fix
[18:07] <Doxin> ikonia: I know,
[18:07] <Doxin> ikonia: I *want* to compile gcc
[18:07] <ikonia> Doxin: why ?
[18:07] <Gallomimia> luist: you COULD make a crontab that says @restart command
[18:07] <Doxin> ikonia: because why not?
[18:07] <ikonia> Doxin: for what purpose, it can have a serious impact onyour machine
[18:07] <ikonia> Doxin: why do something like that for no-reason, you must have a reason
[18:07] <Doxin> ikonia: I'll make sure to use a chroot
[18:08] <bobweaver> ikonia,  +1 on the impact that it can have
[18:08] <ikonia> Doxin: why do this though ? what value do you hope to get
[18:08] <Gallomimia> no that's a terrible premise
[18:08] <Doxin> ikonia: why is this important?
[18:08] <Gallomimia> if you want to do something for the sake of doing it do it.
[18:08] <luist> Gallomimia: well what about rc.d? isnt it better?
[18:08] <ikonia> Doxin: why can you just not answer as people with experience may have other options if you explain what you are trying to do and why
[18:08] <lcars47> anyone know where I can get a voice stress analysis package?
[18:08] <Doxin> ikonia: I'm trying to compile gcc.
[18:08] <ikonia> Doxin: what version of ubuntu is this ?
[18:08] <Doxin> ikonia: 12
[18:08] <ikonia> Doxin: why are you trying to build gcc, to what end ?
[18:09] <ikonia> !info gcc
[18:09] <Doxin> ikonia: for fun and for profit
[18:09] <ikonia> Doxin: please give a real answer, I don't know why you are being so evasive
[18:09] <Gallomimia> and also inet.d and someone suggested using xinetd which i've dabbled in on an old mac distro
[18:09] <Doxin> ikonia: for the same reason I built a jet engine in my back yard. I'm not being evasive, I have no other reason than "because why not".
[18:10] <Gallomimia> its a good reason.
[18:10] <ikonia> Doxin: you're on your own then, people don't just do this for no-reason
[18:10] <Gallomimia> awesome attitude
[18:10] <ikonia> there must be something , a learning exercise, a benifit you think you may get
[18:10] <Gallomimia> we need more people like ikonia on irc
[18:10] <lcars47> I do crazy stuff for no reason also.
[18:10] <Doxin> ikonia: WHY do you need to know this? it is in no way relevant to the answer
[18:10] <Gallomimia> ikonia: everything you do is a learning experience. even reading this channel
[18:11] <Doxin> ikonia: it has no benefit besides knowing how to do it.
[18:11] <bobweaver> Doxin,  just set up the confiure file to install to where you want like a sandbox but then again this is gcc so that is hard
[18:11] <MasterOfDisaster> Doxin: did you try starting with the src deb? IIRC the gcc configure script is nasty
[18:11] <piglit> i get the following:
[18:11] <piglit> udevd [93] worker 102 terminated by signal 11 (segmentation fault)
[18:11] <qw[Russian]> help me after update and upgrade my OS is very very brakes, to be exact a sound! and picture!
[18:11] <Doxin> Masduqe|Off: every configure script is nasty. I started with a source tarball
[18:11] <bobweaver> configure --prefix=/some./place
[18:11] <Doxin> bobweaver: that's just the install dir though, isn't it?
[18:11] <ikonia> Doxin: the documentation for building gc is on gnu.org
[18:11] <piglit> udevd [93] worker [102] failed while handling /devices/pnp0/00:01
[18:11] <trism> Doxin: if you are just curious, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/introduction.html walks you through building the whole toolchain, but kind of offtopic here
[18:11] <bobweaver> Doxin,  correct
[18:12] <ikonia> Doxin: if you want to do it because you can - I suggest you read this
[18:12] <piglit> anyone got a idea what to do with it?
[18:12] <ikonia> trism: that's not a good idea
[18:12] <rhizmoe> why do i have so much trouble with copy/paste? seems like most apps don't respond to either ^v/c nor ctrl-shift v/c
[18:12] <rhizmoe> do i have to go back to the 80s and use shift-del?
[18:12] <Doxin> trism: hmm, was hoping for a shorter answer, but thanks :P
[18:13] <MasterOfDisaster> rhizmoe: select with mouse -> press middle mouse button to paste
[18:13] <MasterOfDisaster> rhizmoe: easy enough?
[18:13] <ikonia> Doxin: if you follow that link from trism your gcc will not be sane
[18:13] <g105b> Hi all. When out with my laptop I want to communicate within my office LAN as if I were there - is this what a VPN is for?
[18:13] <ikonia> Doxin: be warned
[18:13] <e> hi all
[18:13] <MasterOfDisaster> g105b: yes
[18:14] <trism> ikonia: it doesn't replace the system toolchain
[18:14] <bobweaver> Doxin,  I also say that this is a good read http://developer.gnome.org/anjuta-build-tutorial/3.2/anjuta-build-tutorial.html
[18:14] <ikonia> trism: I didn't say it did
[18:14] <bobweaver> there is also a great autotools book out there
[18:14] <Gallomimia> q105b that is one of VPN's many uses
[18:14] <g105b> ok, so to connect to my office network via a VPN, do I need a VPN server or can I just use my office's router?
[18:14] <Guest18869> I have a question, ho is ready to help ?:)
[18:14] <Gallomimia> depends how sophistocated it is
[18:14] <Doxin> bobweaver: thanks
[18:14] <bobweaver> though auto tools is kinda off topic but it is out there and it is great
[18:14] <bobweaver> Doxin,  ^^
[18:15] <wilee-nilee> !help > Guest18869
[18:15] <Gallomimia> g105b a simple box which you have access to on the LAN in the office would suffice as your "server"
[18:15] <xangua> rhizmoe: use a clipboard manager :)
[18:15] <Cyberspaceloa> Doxin: thanks for being persistent, because now I have some more documentation to read through
[18:15] <Doxin> Cyberspaceloa: hm?
[18:16] <bobweaver> Doxin,  for what it is worth I just got done reading this http://books.google.com/books?id=HBbKghM2fGYC&printsec=frontcover&dq=autotools+book&source=bl&ots=wYIYKRhPom&sig=JveVLOxWuuGPMC5DMZM3V1Qs2Ao&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PC9rUPm7O-y30QHMk4GwDQ&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=autotools%20book&f=false               and it was a great book !!
[18:16] <g105b> Gallomimia, great, so I need to install VPN server software onto this box?
[18:16] <Guest18869> anyone has a hp6910p with radeon graphics and ubuntu 12.10 installed?
[18:16] <Doxin> bobweaver: found my answer though, thanks.
[18:16] <MasterOfDisaster> g105b: as Gallomimia implied, ssh can be rigged to do this: http://www.math.hmc.edu/computing/support/ssh/vpn/
[18:17] <Cyberspaceloa> Doxin: I'm just sympathizing that people are acting like you're crazy or something, when you're experimenting
[18:17] <Cyberspaceloa> Doxin: however, I hope you have a spare box to mess around with this stuff
[18:17] <MasterOfDisaster> g105b: let the title be a warning though :)
[18:17] <wilee-nilee> Guest18869, Please address the actual problem in the form of a question, that is how the channel works. ;)
[18:17] <Gallomimia> thanks for that MasterOfDisaster. saving
[18:17] <bobweaver> Cyberspaceloa,  have you ever compiled gcc ?
[18:18] <ineedguru> hu anybody
[18:18] <ineedguru> hi
[18:18] <Cyberspaceloa> bobweaver: no, I can't afford to mess with my system right now
[18:18] <g105b> MasterOfDisaster: thanks... I've never dealt with VPN before so this is all new to me. Trouble is, in the office there may be no PCs turned on, only printers/network drives/etc (these are the devices I will want access to)
[18:18] <Gallomimia> hi
[18:18] <Cyberspaceloa> bobweaver: however, I wouldn't mind messing around with it out of curiosity at a later stage
[18:18] <blackboxer> .
[18:18] <Gallomimia> some network drives are capable of this capability
[18:18] <Doxin> Cyberspaceloa: I know how to make it not break stuff :P
[18:19] <Gallomimia> but the router is what you are going to need to mess with as primary. to open ports obviously
[18:19] <Doxin> Cyberspaceloa: and a reinstall doesn't take too long anyways.
[18:19] <MasterOfDisaster> g105b: ususally you have a VPN node/server/box dedicated to provide an entry point into a remote network
[18:19] <Gallomimia> some routers can VPN, some claim they can and fail miserably, and some don't even try
[18:19] <g105b> MasterOfDisaster: ok I understand. Maybe I would want to use the office connection as proxy?
[18:19] <bobweaver> Cyberspaceloa,  yeah it is not a good idea because so many things use it. Like I had to compile 3.X the other day for HTK and lets just say that it was not the easy thing to do and HTK is still not working correctly
[18:19] <ineedguru> excuse me do you know wher i can speak armenia?)
[18:19] <Gallomimia> your office router might be slightly sophisticated and only allow VPN as a client. in which case set up a box in your house to be the server
[18:20] <bobweaver> !armenia
[18:20] <ineedguru> yes
[18:20] <MasterOfDisaster> g105b: as suggested, a router capable of running a sshd can be used for this. a more sane approach would be openvpn, or something like a cisco asa vpn gateway
[18:20] <Cyberspaceloa> bobweaver: yeah, I wouldn't even attempt on a machine that I need to consistently work
[18:20] <Gallomimia> but that might route all traffic from the office into the house. in which case you can get fired for breaking corporate network security
[18:20] <MasterOfDisaster> g105b: depending, of course, on intended usage
[18:20] <Gallomimia> if you can't keep computers on in the office, consider using one of these: www.raspberrypi.com
[18:20] <bobweaver> ineedguru,  I am sure that there is a channel what it is on the other hand IDK
[18:21] <bobweaver> !ar | ineedguru
[18:21] <g105b> Gallomimia: I have one of those!
[18:21] <bobweaver> nopr
[18:21] <ineedguru> ups
[18:21] <Gallomimia> i do too
[18:21] <Gallomimia> use it as your server. put it in a nice case and lay it next to the router
[18:21] <Gallomimia> call it "MAIL" or something. put a label on it and say its important don't unplug
[18:21] <MasterOfDisaster> g105b, Gallomimia: lucky. mine still hasn't shipped :)
[18:21] <bobweaver> Gallomimia,  legos are awesome for PI
[18:22] <Gallomimia> really? i've had it for months
[18:22] <Gallomimia> i heard!
[18:22] <ineedguru> thnx
[18:22] <Gallomimia> do you know a link to a design for a case?
[18:22] <g105b> Gallomimia: So I can use the PI as a VPN server in the office?
[18:22] <Gallomimia> its a PC right?
[18:22] <forgotmynick> Does Ubuntu support Intel i7 3930K ?
[18:22] <Gallomimia> it uses low power and people won't notice it as a computer that's on to be shut down
[18:22] <MasterOfDisaster> g105b: yes
[18:23] <bobweaver> Gallomimia,  http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/tag/cases
[18:23] <gordonjcp> Gallomimia: it's not very fast
[18:23] <gordonjcp> Gallomimia: well, compared to a "normal" desktop
[18:23] <gordonjcp> Gallomimia: it doesn't cost anything to try though
[18:23] <Gallomimia> who cares all he wants it for is vpn routing
[18:23] <ineedguru> aim sory one more. where i can read good book for linux administration? but whit many practical exemples?
[18:24] <xangua> !ot | ineedguru
[18:24] <bobweaver> ineedguru,  there are books in the softwarecenter
[18:24] <g105b> I'll start playing with my PI right away - all I've been using it for is playing video on my home TV, waiting for something useful to come up ... here it is :)
[18:24] <jackdup> ineedguru, http://www.tldp.org
[18:24] <willdabeast> Question, I am trying to create a bootable win xp usb to use through Virtual Box. Can you use usb's to boot in Virtual Box?
[18:25] <ineedguru> thank you jackdup
[18:25] <llutz> ineedguru: http://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/
[18:25] <bobweaver> wildc4rd,  can you mount the image from the usb on a loop and then press f12 when booting virtual box ?
[18:26] <willdabeast> bobweaver are you talking to me?
[18:26] <bobweaver> sorry willdabeast
[18:26] <bobweaver> willdabeast,  yeah
[18:27] <willdabeast> bobweaver - well as of now i have just copied the files from a windows xp install disk over to a NTFS Boot flagged usb, seeing if that will work too
[18:27] <fluitfries> willdabeast, i think you can do all that, i would use unetbootin to make your usb tho
[18:27] <fluitfries> willdabeast, then tell your VM to boot off the USB
[18:28] <willdabeast> fluitfries VM doesn't have a usb boot option I don't think, as far as the settings go. I don't know about F12 yet during boot
[18:28] <fluitfries> willdabeast, for USB support you need to make an empty filter in the machine as well
[18:28] <fluitfries> willdabeast, i've booted virtualbox off lots of stuff, i'd be surprised if it could not do that.
[18:29] <willdabeast> fluitfries yea I got that done, will unetbootin allow me to create a windows xp install? I thought it was only for linux installs
[18:29] <fluitfries> also when you boot your VM there is a funtion key to press for a boot-time menu as well
[18:29] <fluitfries> willdabeast, yes, it claims to do so.
[18:29] <ineedguru> !armenia
[18:29] <bobweaver> willdabeast,  that is why I say plug the usb in and mount the iso then set the cd drive in the VBox to be the usb mounted iso ? maybe ? then On boot you can press f12 or you can set in settings
[18:29] <CyberGabber> If he's using the OSE-version of Virtualbox, there is no USB option i believe.
[18:30] <bobweaver> !am | ineedguru
[18:30] <fluitfries> CyberGabber, yea, that may be true.
[18:30] <willdabeast> I don't think its ose... how do I check
[18:30] <ineedguru> !am | ineedguru
[18:30] <ineedguru> =)
[18:31] <fluitfries> bobweaver, he shouldn't need to fool vbox, it should be capable of usb boot.
[18:31] <xangua> !en | bobweaver: ineedguru stop guessing, there seems to be no 'armenia' channel
