[19:33] <joeoshawa> is there a video editing tool i can use to change the black bars in widescreen video to a background pic
[19:34] <acicula> Eighteens: heu considered switching to a static ip adress instead of dhcp? the update will have to restart the dhcp proces, but i dont think it will take down the network interface for that
[19:34] <acicula> *to do that
[19:34] <acicula> Eighteens: if it matters, test first?
[19:34] <egoflux> so, why isn't ubuntu using gnome 3?
[19:34] <s1m0ne> acicula: the problem (ubuntu jerking every 1-2 seconds) disappears after deinstalling the nvidia proprietary drivers, but thats no solution for me at all
[19:35] <Eighteens> acicula: thanks again, much appreciated!
[19:35] <acicula> egoflux: because it was released only a few days ago, and ubuntu 11.04 has been in feature freeze for awhile now
[19:35] <egoflux> ooooo
[19:35] <acicula> s1m0ne: are you using the ubuntu hardware drivers or the ones straight from the nvidia site?
[19:35] <egoflux> cool...i just saw the new features and screenshots, it looks awesome
[19:36] <acicula> by ubuntu hw i mean the ones you can activate via the hardware driver tool in adminstration
[19:36] <meteor> Hi , I have a 500 GB HDD with 100GB Free , can i install ubuntu on this disk without creating a separate partitioning ?
[19:36] <ViN86> meteor, what OS are you on currently?
[19:36] <meteor> no OS
[19:36] <meteor> that was a backup disk
[19:36] <ViN86> hmm
[19:36] <meteor> i now wanna use for Ubuntu
[19:36] <ViN86> honestly i would try and partition
[19:37] <s1m0ne> acicula: thats the point i used more up-to-date drivers from the x-swat x-updates ppa. i just removed this and i am going now to install the standard ubuntu nvidia proprietary drivers.
[19:37] <ViN86> you can partition a disk with data on it
[19:37] <eblume> meteor: if you absolutely cannot partition it (remember that it's usually possible to 'shrink' an existing partition), then yes, it CAN be done... it's just not easy.
[19:38] <meteor> Can i shrink the volume when i have booted from a Live CD
[19:38] <joeoshawa> yes
[19:38] <meteor> from the Partitioning screen?
[19:38] <eblume> meteor: Probably! You'll want to start up gparted
[19:38] <jiltdil> yes
[19:38] <eblume> meteor: or use the default install process
[19:38] <maeth> hi , im having problems with 10.10 , network connections are really slow, ive tried disabling IPv6, but it was deactivated from start... so , im out of options or my google skills arent as good
[19:38] <meteor> ok.. i will try this then..
[19:39] <meteor> Thanks ViN86 , eblume
[19:39] <eblume> any time
[19:40] <pentester123> Can a radius server make a pptp server more secure?
[19:40] <lolmatic> meteor: you have to resize your current partition to get unpartitioned space
[19:40] <stustout> I just downloaded vmware server rpm file. how do you run this?
[19:40] <BlouBlou> !rpm
[19:40] <ViN86> meteor, np
[19:40] <lolmatic> stustout: download .deb files
[19:40] <sailingthrough> is there a specific channel for programming/development on here? or more importantly, for newbies to programming/development?
[19:41] <sailingthrough> i tried #ubuntu-programming but it seems dead
[19:41] <Pici> sailingthrough: ##programming
[19:41] <sailingthrough> Pici: thanks
[19:41] <stustout> thanks
[19:41] <lolmatic> sailingthrough: try a programming language like #c++ or other ones
[19:41] <eblume> stustout: Can I also recommend using KVM and not VMWare Server? I speak from experience here.
[19:41] <barba> ciao
[19:41] <acicula> s1m0ne: any reason you need the drivers from that ppa?
[19:41] <shipship> thx
[19:42] <sailingthrough> lolmatic: That's what I'm trying to get into. I stupidly decided to write my dissertation on DSP-implementation in audio plugins, despite having no prior understanding of programming.
[19:42] <barba> !list
[19:42] <debd> barba:  do /list
[19:43] <greensimian> Hey there, why would I want to be using Aptitude over apt?
[19:43] <pentester123> how do you secure pptp?
[19:43] <s1m0ne> acicula: hmm not really. i thought some things will be better, but that was stupid i think. ok now I am stuck to the console... and don't know how to install the drivers from the ubuntu repo
[19:43] <acicula> s1m0ne: that repo does not install the latest stable nvidia drivers (2.6.0) but the latest beta drivers(2.7.0)
[19:43] <lolmatic> stustout: try virtualbox, its open source and can most x86 systems
[19:44] <greensimian> Isn't PPTP more or less secure already?
[19:44] <lolmatic> run
[19:44] <acicula> !nvidia
[19:45] <psusi> pentester123: you enable encryption and use a certificate or strong password for authentication?
[19:45] <lolmatic> is anybody running prelude here?
[19:45] <acicula> s1m0ne: did you remove the nvidia packages via apt-get yet?
[19:46] <s1m0ne> acicula: yes, but know i am stuck to the console after restarting. i also removed the .list files from the ppa x-swat and did an apt-get update
[19:46] <pentester123> psusi: you know where I can get info on using certificates
[19:47] <name_anthony> trying to alter the screen resolution in lubuntu with lxde.  800x600 is the max listed.  how can I try 1024x768?
[19:47] <psusi> pentester123: other than spending a few days reading the man pages for openssl and experimenting?  no
[19:47] <pentester123> lol ok
[19:47] <pentester123> thank you
[19:47] <ap0c> is this the right place for a ubuntu 10.04 raid question?
[19:48] <ap0c> i've created a RAID 5 logical drive in my bios, but ubuntu is still reporting my drives individual when i do `fdisk -l`
[19:48] <ap0c> ATI SB700
[19:48] <acicula> s1m0ne: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[19:49] <scipy> how can i see the size of the directories from cli?
[19:49] <lolmatic> scipy: ls --help
[19:49] <acicula> s1m0ne: and or do a sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[19:50] <GOMI> how to troubleshoot flickering screen & reloggin problem
[19:50] <acicula> dont need to reboot, just try a sudo service gdm stop and service gdm start
[19:50] <GOMI> someone ive have this problem like 3 wweeks now
[19:50] <acicula> GOMI: did you enable any gpu hardware drivers?
[19:50] <jiltdil> scipy: du -h /path/to/file
[19:50] <BlouBlou> scipy: 'ls -s'
[19:51] <GOMI> no dont think so
[19:51] <kubanc> how do i access network shared folders in thunar?
[19:51] <Bipul`> how can i make my ubuntu desktop  3d
[19:51] <acicula> scipy: du and du -h will recursively show you the space used in a directory
[19:51] <acicula> or baobab for something gui like
[19:51] <lolmatic> Bipul`: get compiz
[19:51] <Tekk_> I just installed lucid(latest cd) and plymouth doesn't work. I get a mix of on(but black) with an underscore at the top left(like grub loading) and full black(as in resolution change) and then a flash of plymouth at the end showing a complete boot
[19:51] <BlouBlou> Bipul`: type in a terminal 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager'
[19:51] <scipy> ty guys
[19:51] <Tekk_> any ideas?
[19:51] <steve1> I'm running 10.10 on x86 from a laptop and my desktop keeps locking up (mouse freezes, display freezes).  I can SSH in and "sudo restart gdm", but I'd really like to stop this from happening.  It also only seems to happen when I connect an external monitor.  I don't see anything relevant in the /var/log/syslog ... any idea what I can do to further debug this?
[19:51] <acicula> BlouBlou: Bipul` just enabling desktop effects will enable compiz
[19:51] <acicula> and 3d
[19:52] <acicula> 3d desktop thingies anyway
[19:52] <Bipul`> ok
[19:52] <BlouBlou> acicula: Yeah, but I think he means 3D Cube
[19:52] <acicula> BlouBlou: ah ok
[19:52] <GOMI> well about that compiz doestnt work here to , even if i enable effects
[19:52] <scipy> when i do ls --help, i get many pages. How can i see it page by page?
[19:52] <acicula> steve1: what gpu do you have and did you install any drivers for it?
[19:52] <martin_> I am new to ubuntu though not to linux How do I tell if my openchrome vga driver is working . I suspect I am on a vesa driver
[19:52] <jabo5360> I just installed the upgrade of 11.04 beta, but when it finished and the system rebooted I did not get my normal grub options.  Instead it tried to go directly into Ubuntu , to finish the upgrade I guess.  But all I get is  "H.V frequency over range"  I'm sure it has to do with the new Nvidia package but I cant get into a vga mode or anything any body have an idea?
[19:52] <lolmatic> Bipul`: you can enable the cube in the compiz config settings manager
[19:52] <jiltdil> ls --help | more
[19:52] <Pici> scipy: ls --help | less    (or see man ls)
[19:52] <scipy> ty
[19:53] <acicula> martin_: you can look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:53] <Bipul`> lolmatic, setting manger?
[19:53] <acicula> martin_: vesa also locks your resolution to 800x600 or something silly
[19:53] <martin_> ok
[19:53] <martin_> no i am on 1200x768
[19:53] <Bipul`> 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager'<<i just go through this command now nexr
[19:53] <BlouBlou> Bipul`: install what I told you, you'll be able to configure your compiz settings, and customize it
[19:53] <lolmatic> Bipul`: you need compizconfig settings manager
[19:53] <king09> jabo5360, try the #ubuntu+ channel. its for natty
[19:53] <acicula> jabo5360: hold shift when booting, select rescue option and then purge all nvidia driver package
[19:54] <milen8204> Enyone knows "error: stray ‘\320’ in program" what that means in C
[19:54] <Bipul`> BlouBlou,  yes i have gone through you commands now what ?
[19:54] <Pici> jabo5360: Please stop asking in this channel, you've been told that #ubuntu+1 is the only place where 11.04 is currently supported.
[19:54] <steve1> acicula: lspci shows "Intel Integrated Graphics Controller" and "nVidia GT218".  I'm not sure really which is which.  I didn't install any third party drivers for those.
[19:54] <Pici> milen8204: Please ask in ##C, that is out of scope for #ubuntu
[19:54] <acicula> steve1: it means you have two gpu's
[19:54] <milen8204> Pici, ok sorry
[19:54] <BlouBlou> Bipul`: System >> Preferences >> Compiz config...
[19:55] <BlouBlou> Bipul`: preferences or administration
[19:55] <RishavT> Hi. I am creating a .desktop file (launcher) for my application (which I will be placing in /usr/share/applications). Now in the "exec" section, I have written "nfuploader %f" (nfuploader's my application).
[19:55] <meteor> one more question, I have a slow external CDROM that i have used to boot Ubuntu 10.04, Now i can access the data on my Hard drive, There i have 10.04 ISO, Can i mount that Image to install ubuntu on the same drive, because i am afraid the CDROM drive is not good enough
[19:55] <kikito> hola
[19:55] <VCoolio> RishavT: you can put it in ~/.local/share/applications too
[19:56] <kikito> hola alguno k me diga komo ago funcionar al cam aki en ubuntu
[19:56] <RishavT> . I am creating a .desktop file (launcher) for my application (which I will be placing in /usr/share/applications). Now in the "exec" section, I have written "nfuploader %f" (nfuploader's my application). Now when I drag that onto the gnome-panel, it pins. But on dragging pictures to the icon, multiple instances open up. I want all pictures to open up (with nfuploader) but in a single instance.
[19:56] <Pici> !es | kikito
[19:56] <acicula> steve1: dont really have any ideas as to why it may be locking up beyond a driver issue. could try disabling the discrete gpu in the bios of the laptop and see if that helps anything?
[19:56] <kikito> k no me deja en ninguno xe
[19:56] <steve1> acicula: that's worth a shot.  thanks.
[19:56] <gedO> Hello
[19:57] <acicula> steve1: the whole hybrid gpu thing is kinda new, might also be worth checkking out the natty beta2 release in a few days to see if that resolves anything
[19:57] <steve1> acicula: is there any way to unlock it other than "sudo restart gdm"
[19:57] <scipy> how can i see what resources are used from cli?
[19:57] <Pici> scipy: what sort of resources?
[19:57] <gedO> Guys, I want to ask yuo which linux file system is first?
[19:57] <acicula> steve1: im not sure what you mean
[19:57] <RishavT> VCoolio: actually my question was incompelte, I pressed enter by mistake. Here's the complete question:        I am creating a .desktop file (launcher) for my application (which I will be placing in /usr/share/applications). Now in the "exec" section, I have written "nfuploader %f" (nfuploader's my application). Now when I drag that onto the gnome-panel, it pins. But on dragging pictures to the icon, multiple instances open up. I wan
[19:57] <scipy> cpu, mem used
[19:58] <arand_> gedO: First? What do you mean?
[19:58] <Pici> scipy: top (press q to quit), free
[19:58] <acicula> meteor: you can loopback mount the cd iso and try adding it as a repository
[19:58] <BlouBlou> gedO: ubuntu uses ext4
[19:58] <lolmatic> is anybody here using prelude? im having troubles configuring it
[19:58] <steve1> to unlock it, I have to SSH in and "sudo restart gdm", but that essentially logs me out, losing all my open windows.  I'd prefer to just refresh the display or something (like what Monitors does perhaps?).
[19:58] <acicula> meteor: not sure if the gui installer will let you do that though
[19:59] <BlouBlou> !ext4 | gedO
[19:59] <gedO> There are many file systems
[19:59] <BlouBlou> !ext | gedO
[19:59] <BlouBlou> meh
[19:59] <meteor> hmm, ok, i give it a try , thanks
[19:59] <Pici> gedO: Yes, there are.  What is your question about them?
[19:59] <VCoolio> RishavT: I assumed that, just pointing it out, saves you sudo trouble; is there a use flag for nfupload to handle multiple files? man nfupload or nfupload --help
[20:00] <Mikl_Tver> hi lady !!!! sex now !!
[20:00] <acicula> steve1: ah like so, no if it really hangs it really hangs, there might be som sysrq three finger salute keycodes that work but you need kernel support for those
[20:00] <gedO> which is firsty used
[20:00] <scipy> ty Pici
[20:00] <gedO> which is first :D
[20:00] <gedO> :D
[20:00] <gedO> oldest :D
[20:00] <acicula> steve1: you can enable ctrl-alt-backspace via xorg.conf
[20:00] <Pici> gedO: Check wikipedia, thats not really relevant to Ubuntu.
[20:00] <acicula> steve1: that sometimes lets you kill the Xserver, but if it really freezes that wont work either
[20:01] <steve1> acicula: cool.  I really appreciate your help.
[20:01] <RyanMiaz> Hi. I'm having some problems with unity on 10.10 - the screen flashes showing distorted and skewed colours before it starts programs aswell as drop-down menus and small action boxes appearing in the same manner. Is this a problem with unity or my graphics?
[20:01] <Seven_Six_Two> I think ctrl-alt-backspace has been disabled. It can be turned back on, but it hasn't worked for me for a few versions
[20:02] <Pici> !dontzap
[20:02] <acicula> steve1: np, wish i could be more helpfull
[20:02] <Seven_Six_Two> that's it Pici, thanks!
[20:02] <Pici> Seven_Six_Two: no problem :)
[20:02] <acicula> oh steve1 see the ubottu note about dontzap, that is what i meant
[20:02] <RyanMiaz> Okay, right now, my graphics have gone really messy and skew-ey, since i installed unity.
[20:03] <acicula> so no xorg.conf anymore i guess
[20:03] <Pici> acicula: If it exists it will be honored.
[20:03] <steve1> acicula: heh, nice package name.  thanks.
[20:03] <Seven_Six_Two> acicula, it's not that xorg.conf won't work, it's just not used by default. If there is one, it will be used
[20:04] <acicula> Ah ok
[20:05] <wjd86> hello
[20:05] <agentgasmask> Hi all, I'm looking for a program that can "zoom" my deskop, or provide just a zoomed window to look through. Compiz is breaking Vino, so is there anything else?
[20:06] <wjd86> anyone out there know anything about running a web server?
[20:06] <Seven_Six_Two> agentgasmask, I believe there is an option for zoom in accessability features
[20:06] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, yes. use apache2 and read the docs.
[20:06] <lolmatic> is anybody here using prelude? im having a hard time configuring it
[20:07] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, but if you have trouble with the directives, #httpd
[20:07] <digikwondo> hello ubuntu experts ;) i have some issues wit the gnome main menu. probably a easy one and im happy to provide relevant information. anyone feel free to give me 5 minutes? ;)
[20:08] <acicula> !ask
[20:08] <wjd86> Seven_six_two im actually past that point, i have a server set up
[20:08] <wjd86> but its running internally
[20:08] <jacobfogg> Hey there, anytime I try to ssh to my remote server, it takes FOREVER for the username/pw prompt to show up... any thoughts on how to speed this connection up? putty on my windows partition is almost instantaneous...
[20:08] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, nice, that was quick!
[20:09] <acicula> jacobfogg: you can connect using -v so ssh is more verbose about what its doing
[20:09] <wjd86> :P I'm kind of stuck on static IP
[20:09] <jacobfogg> trying now
[20:09] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, which part? do you have a static ip?
[20:09] <digikwondo> thanks for the correction im new to irc ;) question - when clicking places links the folder opens up in vlc?!? xD
[20:10] <ChiefB> Test
[20:10] <saal7193> i installed libquartz-java on ubuntu. how do i start it up?
[20:10] <wjd86> my router has the option and i checked the box, put the same address that was in ifconfig | gres inet on my server but then i wasnt able to access the webpage from my browser anymore
[20:10] <acicula> digikwondo: you can change the program associated with that type by right clicking it and then editing its properties
[20:10] <wjd86> or able to connect via sftp
[20:11] <jacobfogg> It hangs on this:
[20:11] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, is your router doing static dhcp?
[20:11] <jacobfogg> debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic
[20:11] <jacobfogg> debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information
[20:11] <jacobfogg> Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_1000' not found
[20:11] <jacobfogg> debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information
[20:11] <jacobfogg> Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_1000' not found
[20:11] <FloodBot2> jacobfogg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:11] <jacobfogg> debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information
[20:11] <digikwondo> acicula: when rightclicking folder opens up in vlc anyway ;(
[20:11] <acicula> digikwondo: eh what filebrowser are you using
[20:11] <wjd86> Seven_six-two just realized what your name refers to.. :P yes i believe its dchp, should i change that?
[20:12] <acicula> wjd86: it shouldnt make much difference unless your assigned ip changes
[20:12] <jacobfogg> Sorry... let me try that again... When I ssh to my local server using the -v option this is where I get hung up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/593708/
[20:12] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, there could be a few reasons. some routers will do static dhcp (router will give same ip to a mac address each time) or there is actual static ip, which has to be set on the server.
[20:13] <digikwondo> acicula: its a ubuntu 10.10 with nautilus  2.32.0
[20:13] <wjd86> hm
[20:13] <acicula> digikwondo: try the other button? kinda of odd for nautilus to behave like that with a directory
[20:13] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, also note, depending on your router, you might have to put an entry in your hosts file that links your server's ip to the domain name (for internal use ony)
[20:14] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, there are also settings in routers for static ip's on the WAN side, which you have to have from your isp. You can't just change a setting to get one.
[20:14] <digikwondo> acicula: everything in the places menu opens in vlc except "computer" witch loads nautilus ok
[20:14] <wjd86> can you break it down as you were talking to an elemntary student :P i just started all this yesterday
[20:14] <tonin> salut
[20:15] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, ok. internet service providers don't give static ip's to homes (in most cases), and never if you didn't request one.
[20:15] <acicula> digikwondo: oh like so,are these all files?
[20:15] <wjd86> ah ok
[20:15] <acicula> wjd86: your web server is reachable just fine
[20:15] <Camer0n123> why doesnt mv /opt/lampp2 /opt/lampp/lampp2 work??
[20:15] <wjd86> lol?
[20:16] <acicula> wjd86: how are you determining its not working
[20:16] <wjd86> the static is off atm
[20:16] <wjd86> i reverted settings when it was down
[20:16] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, what make and model of router is it?
[20:16] <Camer0n123> it says mv: inter device failed; unagle to move: is a directory
[20:16] <Camer0n123> *inter-device move failed
[20:16] <digikwondo> acicula: its standard links/folder icons in the places menu that opens in vlc . thanks for your time btw ;)
[20:16] <wjd86> linksys, wrt54g2
[20:17] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, custom firmware? (openWRT, Tomato, etc)?
[20:17] <wjd86> nope
[20:18] <saal7193> hello i installed libquartz-java but when i type libquartz-java in terminal it says command not found?
[20:18] <BlouBlou> saal7193: that's because it's a library
[20:18] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, ok, I'm fairly sure stock wrt firmware doesn't do internal static dhcp.
[20:18] <baslisks> hey, anyone know any problems with sunjava not installing right on 11.4?
[20:18] <acicula> baslisks: try #ubuntu+1
[20:18] <baslisks> acicula, thanks
[20:18] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, so if there's a setting, that's for WAN and you likely don't have one (it would have to be static for your internet to work)
[20:18] <wjd86> i havent tinkered with it
[20:18] <acicula> digikwondo: idk why that happens
[20:19] <Kyle__> I'm having issues installing snmpd on a 10.04 server, I keep getting a "dpkg: error processing snmpd (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128"
[20:19] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, if you want your server to have a static ip, you have to set it on the server itself.
[20:19] <wjd86> options are; static ip, dhcp automatic, ppoe, etc
[20:19] <Camer0n123> why can't I move: mv /opt/lampp2 /opt/lampp/lampp2, it says cannot create special file ".....cgisock.1447" : operation not permitted
[20:19] <saal7193> oh i see thanks BlouBlou
[20:20] <wjd86> ok, how can i do that seve/
[20:20] <digikwondo> acicula:  thanks anyway ;) do you know if there is a "gnome" channel i could ask this question in?
[20:20] <BlouBlou> saal7193: You're welcome
[20:20] <acicula> digikwondo: #gnome
[20:20] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, yeah, that's WAN. There is only one setting that will work for you, and it depends on your isp. do you use cable or dsl?
[20:20] <digikwondo> acicula: could have guessed that cheers!
[20:21] <serenity> hi
[20:21] <serenity> where can i find the config from cpufreq?
[20:21] <wjd86> dsl, im 99%
[20:21] <wjd86> sure
[20:21] <nyuszika7h> Hi, how do I remove hidden status on a folder?
[20:21] <BlouBlou> nyuszika7h: remove the first '.'
[20:21] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, what isp?
[20:21] <B-r00t> nyuszika7h: remove "." in name
[20:21] <wjd86> att
[20:21] <BlouBlou> nyuszika7h: the first fot
[20:21] <BlouBlou> dot
[20:21] <erUSUL> nyuszika7h: remove the first dot in the name
[20:21] <Camer0n123> anyone??
[20:21] <jessicaBR> erm... guys, I'm trying to reinstall my ubuntu system. Right now I'm with LiveCD, what should I do to repair my previous installation?
[20:22] <nyuszika7h> BlouBlou: B-r00t: thanks
[20:22] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, I think att is dsl. so if your modem is bridged, you'd use pppoe, otherwise dhcp.
[20:22] <wjd86> so pppoe will aloow me static?
[20:22] <Kyle__> Seven_Six_Two: You can use dhcp with pppoe IIRC, it's been awhile.
[20:22] <Kyle__> But I think you can
[20:23] <VCoolio> jessicaBR: reinstall: click the install button on desktop; repair: depends on what's broken
[20:23] <Camer0n123> please??!!
[20:23] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, what happened or went wrong on your install, give some details pls
[20:23] <Kyle__> Can't install snmpd, anyone have an idea?
[20:23] <agentgasmask> Seven_Six_Two: Just saw your reply. Thank, but I found a program called xzoom. looks like it will work.
[20:23] <Kyle__> Camer0n123: What was your problem again?  I don't see it.
[20:23] <Camer0n123> dont worry, its because of my file system, I cant fix it
[20:23] <BajK> Does LibreOffice work with the Qt Raster backend enabled? OpenOffice does not
[20:24] <Kyle__> Camer0n123: Err ok.
[20:24] <Camer0n123> lol
[20:24] <nyuszika7h> How can I copy a folder's all contents, including subfolders?
[20:24] <BlouBlou> Camer0n123: are you getting any error? any message? what happens with your file system...? bla bla bla... :P
[20:24] <Seven_Six_Two> Kyle__, not if it's bridged. the pppoe connection will return the ip, so dhcp isn't needed. dhcp alone won't establish a pppoe connection.
[20:24] <Camer0n123> why can't I move: mv /opt/lampp2 /opt/lampp/lampp2, it says cannot create special file ".....cgisock.1447" : operation not permitted
[20:25] <BlouBlou> Camer0n123: use it with 'sudo'
[20:25] <Camer0n123> yeah, tried that
[20:25] <quatch> when i try to run dragon age 2 theres no sound and it looks like its in windowed mode but with resolution all wrong
[20:25] <BlouBlou> Camer0n123: same error or different one?
[20:25] <Camer0n123> same
[20:25] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, no pppoe is like dialing in, with a username and password. whether it's static or dynamic is set by att. If it's residential account, you don't have a static ip.
[20:25] <Camer0n123> ls
[20:26] <Kyle__> Seven_Six_Two: I know DHCP can't initiate a pppoe connection, but like I said been awhile since I've used it.
[20:26] <wjd86> kk ill call and get them to give me a static
[20:26] <CrunchyChewie> whats the best way to have my /home/user/downloads folder point to a folder on a different dev?
[20:26] <wjd86> thanks seven, ill be back im sure
[20:26] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, for example, I have a static ip (bought from isp) but I still connect with pppoe. My isp assigns the same ip each time even though I'm using pppoe.
[20:27] <BrumDart> nyuszika7h: cp -r folder destination    You can use "man cp" to see what other options you can use with cp.
[20:27] <wjd86> kk
[20:27] <VCoolio> CrunchyChewie: symlink or edit .config/user-dirs.dirs
[20:27] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, everytime I launch ubuntu i get an error message: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. Your server, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself"
[20:28] <CrunchyChewie> VCoolio: awesome, thanks! Trying to save space on the SSD by pointing the biggest hog folders to a 1TB HDD
[20:28] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, but my modem is bridged (so my router establishes the connection). If it wasn't bridged, I would have to set my router to dhcp to get an address from my mode.
[20:28] <Seven_Six_Two> modem.
[20:28] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: Are you running ubuntu server or desktop?
[20:29] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, desktop. ubuntu maverick
[20:29] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, what graphics card do you have ?
[20:29] <acicula> quatch: did you have a look on winehq on how to get it to run with wine?
[20:29] <Guest98243> hiiiiiiiiiii
[20:29] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: Check system->administration->addition drivers
[20:29] <quatch> i tried but no one answers me
[20:29] <quatch> no one seems to know
[20:29] <quatch> told me to try the latest wine and i did but same problem
[20:29] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, I'm on LiveCD, should I do that now?
[20:29] <acicula> quatch: the website winehq
[20:29] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: Maybe there's a proprietary driver for your video card?  If there is, it may fix the issue.
[20:30] <quatch> im using a large high def tv as a monitor though idk if thats why
[20:30] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: Err  Maybe?  I dont' recall how the live cd works for changes.
[20:30] <quatch> yeah i followed the instructions on winehq to install it
[20:30] <Guest98243> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[20:30] <jacobfogg> If anyone is interested, I disabled gssapi in my ssh_config file... that seemed to work.
[20:30] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, I have an Nvidia GeForce 310M. Sorry for the delay, didn't notice you talked to me
[20:31] <guntbert> Guest98243: stop that
[20:31] <Seven_Six_Two> !nick > Seven_Six_Two
[20:31] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: You need the proprietary drivers for it to work properly iirc.  Or maybe I'm wrong, and installing the updating the system will work, but I really think you need the proprietary ones.
[20:32] <acicula> quatch: what you can do is start winecfg and click on the audio tab, then make sure you dont have other things running that generate sound like a music player. Also in winecfg you can set a virtual desktop size and enable a virtual desktop, this runs the program in windowed mode while the program itself thinks it runs full screen
[20:32] <quatch> oooh interesting thank you ill try that
[20:32] <seba_> haw I can get share lib of program?
[20:32] <acicula> jacobfogg: it tried some other form of authentication first?
[20:32] <Guest49293> hi..........!
[20:32] <quatch> should i close FF, empathy?  do those effect noise?
[20:33] <acicula> seba_: in a console running ldd /path/to/binary will list the libraries it uses
[20:33] <jessicaBR> but Kyle__ how am I supposed to do that? All I can do is to use the terminal, which commands should I use?
[20:33] <acicula> !hybrid
[20:33] <Seven_Six_Two> !nick > Cev
[20:33] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, right now I'm using LiveCD. Don't think changes here will be kept for the other installations
[20:33] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, if you can get to the desktop in low graphics mode , open admin /HW and choose the recommended diver and enable it , then it should install and ask for reboot ..do this on the ctual install not on the live cd
[20:33] <acicula> jessicaBR: can you disable the discrete gpu in the bios?
[20:33] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: Oh.  You mean you're not in graphics at all, livecd booted you into text mode?
[20:34] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, no! I'm with grahics right now!
[20:34] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, with live cd
[20:34] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, tell me how to do that
[20:34] <quatch> acicule: when i click the audio tab it tells me there is no audio driver currently specified in the regisrty
[20:34] <jessicaBR> acicula, tell me how to do that
[20:35] <saal7193> can someone recommend a good task scheduler
[20:35] <quatch> and a reccomended one has been picked for me
[20:35] <jacobfogg> acicula: I think it tried gssapi first, then moved on after three attemps
[20:35] <bounder> could someone tell this ubuntu noob how to prevent the screen from going blank after being inactive for a while?
[20:35] <seba_> I can get only lib which use the program
[20:35] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: In graphics, from the system menu, go to "administration", then "additional drivers"
[20:35] <acicula> jessicaBR: nvm i thought you werent getting any graphics at all, try what BluesKaj suggests
[20:35] <Cev> hi..!
[20:35] <acicula> jessicaBR: then instead of rebooting just log out, that might work on a livecd to load the new drivers'
[20:35] <Seven_Six_Two> bounder, check your power settings and screensaver settings
[20:35] <quatch> how do i set it to open in a window like you described?
[20:35] <Seven_Six_Two> Cev, honestly, you're going to get kicked if you don't stop it
[20:35] <acicula> quatch: via winecfg
[20:36] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, I meant for you to use the existing ubuntu install if possible , not the live cd
[20:36] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, ok, installing drivers
[20:36] <bounder> Have already checked power settings
[20:36] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, I think I already did that with my original installation
[20:36] <quatch> under what tab? what settings do i choose?
[20:36] <quatch> emulate a virtual desktop?
[20:36] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: Out of curiosity, is this a mac-mini?
[20:36] <acicula> quatch: yes
[20:37] <acicula> quatch: also fill out a resolution
[20:37] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, I understand that. But how to do that with the terminal:  "open admin /HW and choose the recommended diver and enable it"
[20:37] <quatch> ah see thats the problem
[20:37] <quatch> idk what to set resolution too
[20:37] <scipy> from cli how can i know what gnu destributioun my server is running?
[20:37] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, my computer? This is an Asus K50IE
[20:37] <bounder> Seven_Six_Two thanks
[20:37] <acicula> quatch: pick something that is smaller then your current resolution
[20:37] <Seven_Six_Two> bounder, np!
[20:37] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: Oh ok.  Just the only other device I've seen myself with that card is a mac-mini.
[20:37] <acicula> quatch: 1280x1024 will work
[20:37] <quatch> my current one is 1600x1200
[20:38] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, oh
[20:38] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, is that good or bad?
[20:38] <lolmatic> can anybody tell me how to run those debconf configuration menus manually which start upon installation of certain packages? package is prelude-manager
[20:38] <scipy> from cli how can i know what GNU distributioun my server is running?
[20:38] <Camer0n123> how do you uninstall xampp?
[20:38] <Camer0n123> just delete /opt/lampp?
[20:39] <wjd86> Seven_Six_Two, hopefully they dont try to charge me more :P
[20:39] <Kyle__> jessicaBR: I don't know to be honest, I was just curious, since I have a stack of 20 minis that will be turned into a cluster for the summer, and into student workstations for the fall.
[20:39] <kikuro> Hello, I just installed Fluxbox (another X window manager), how can I shut down Gnome without shuting down my computer ?
[20:39] <B-r00t> kikuro: wtf? xD
[20:39] <jessicaBR> Kyle__, nice
[20:39] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, no , I said if you can get to the desktop in low graphics mode, if not then hold the shift key down while booting , choose the recovery kernel in the grub menu, and choose repair broken packages in the dialog that appears , then sudo reboot
[20:39] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, they will. Definitley. That's if they even give you one at all. In Canada, we can only get static ip from major carriers on a business account. I had to go with an indie isp to get one (Teksavvy)
[20:40] <B-r00t> kikuro: you use gnome as your desktop environment
[20:40] <B-r00t> fluxbox is wm
[20:40] <kikuro> B-r00t, yes, but I want to change that to be able to use fluxbox, isn't it possible at well ?
[20:41] <lolmatic> can anybody tell me how to run those debconf configuration menus manually which start upon installation of certain packages? package is prelude-manager
[20:41] <acicula> kikuro: in gdm you can select the environment when you login, its at the bottom
[20:41] <sysop3> hey whats that thing that kinda like torrent some os's uses to distorobute iso's? its not bittorrent. I think it started with an e
[20:41] <wjd86> Seven_Six_Two: huh, that rly blows
[20:41] <B-r00t> kikuro: on login screen (GDM) in sessions you have fluxbox session
[20:41] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, ahh, ok. If low graphics mode means having at least a mouse pointer on the screen, then I can't even run low graphics mode... :-/ Going to that shift thing
[20:41] <acicula> kikuro: if you install fluxbox it should show up there as a session
[20:41] <jessicaBR> nvidia graphics drivers are taking too long... :(
[20:41] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, ok
[20:41] <kikuro> ok, I check that :)
[20:41] <jessicaBR> I don't really know why to install them here with LiveCD
[20:42] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, it does. You wouldn't get one from verizon or comcast (for different reasons)
[20:42] <nyuszika7h> How can I force rmdir to remove a directory even if it's not empty?
[20:42] <wjd86> so, theres no way to make a dynamic account static? i dont feel like shelling out more cash to these guys
[20:42] <guntbert> lolmatic: try with dpkg-reconfigure
[20:42] <acicula> nyuszika7h: dont think rm dir can, you can use rm with the -r recursive and -f force flag though, just be sure thats what you want and there are no typos
[20:43] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, why should I hold shift key down? I can launch recovery kernel without doing that, right?
[20:43] <bounder> how can i automatically connect with freenode server and #ubuntu channel when i click on XChat anyone please
[20:43] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, don'try to use the live cd to follow my procedure ,it has to be done from grub on the hard drive
[20:43] <Seven_Six_Two> nyuszika7h, you have to use rm -rf, but be VERY CAREFUL. Improper use WILL trash your system
[20:43] <nyuszika7h> Seven_Six_Two: I just wanted to empty a folder. On my USB flash drive. And it seems it worked.
[20:43] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, ah I got that
[20:43] <quatch> hmm i used those config settings but still no volume and looks the same
[20:43] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, yes if grub menu is accessible
[20:43] <quatch> when i open dragon age 2
[20:44] <quatch> can see top and bottom ubuntu bars and IMs popping up
[20:44] <kikuro> ok, thanks B-r00t and acicula :D
[20:44] <quatch> and no sound
[20:44] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, ok. I'll brb with feedback
[20:44] <B-r00t> kikuro: and join #fluxbox for help with fluxbox :)
[20:44] <Seven_Six_Two> nyuszika7h, that's good. some malicious people will try to get newbies to use it, and it's not safe. the -f switch disables "are you sure" and with a leading / everything goes "poof"
[20:45] <guntbert> scipy: for ubuntu&co: lsb_release -a
[20:45] <scipy> ty guntbert
[20:46] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, no. if you want to run a server with a dynamic ip, look at services like dyndns.org
[20:46] <nyuszika7h> I just backed up my home folder, because I'll uninstall Maverick and install Lucid, because I found it stabler. There aren't much things, but just to make sure, I backed up my irssi settings, my IRC bot (actually, I did not make it, I just downloaded it) and node.
[20:47] <nyuszika7h> Could anyone tell me how long are LTS builds supported?
[20:47] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, or a better option would be to find an indie isp that will let you have one, and switch. Give your money to companies that will give you what you want. You'll still pay extra of course
[20:47] <Seven_Six_Two> nyuszika7h, 3 years desktop, 5 years server
[20:47] <semitones> I have a Ubuntu USB -- is there a way I can configure it to boot straight into the ubuntu desktop, and not ask me whehter I want to install?
[20:47] <hiexpo> Seven_Six_Two, rm -rf   bye bye os  lol
[20:47] <nyuszika7h> Seven_Six_Two: thanks
[20:48] <acicula> how can i find files in my filesystem that are not tracked by apt, except the obvious directories like /home /tmp and such?
[20:48] <guntbert> bounder: start under XChat/network list  - and there is a channel #s
[20:48] <Seven_Six_Two> hiexpo, yeah, I'm always worried that someone will flip out when I mention it, so I always follow with a disclaimer. The command isn't bad itself, just powerful...
[20:48] <guntbert> bounder: and there is a channel #xchat   (I wanted to say)
[20:49] <nyuszika7h> hiexpo: Once I installed kubuntu-desktop... and it mixed up things... I had Kubuntu software in Ubuntu and Ubuntu software in Kubuntu. And when I tried to remove kubuntu-desktop, it started killing GNOME... o_O
[20:49] <lolmatic> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) <------------ what is this? how can i re-run the sub process?
[20:49] <chopin> hey guys, any way i can remove a folder that contains a "circular directory structure" without reformatting the partition??
[20:49] <acicula> chopin: try unlink
[20:49] <erUSUL> lolmatic: paste the whole message...
[20:49] <erUSUL> !paste | lolmatic
[20:49] <hiexpo> hehe yup trainwreck
[20:49] <Seven_Six_Two> lolmatic, that's not all there is to the error. the useful part came before that
[20:50] <chopin> acicula: thx
[20:50] <jonathankoul> hello
[20:50] <shomon> hi, how do I turn on wireless from the command line?
[20:50] <noisewaterphd-hp> need to install a 32bit .deb on 64bit 10.10, what is the easiest way to install 32bit support
[20:50] <acicula> semitones: you can perform a normal install on the usb stick or repackage a livecd
[20:50] <acicula> shomon: you have to configure wpa_supplicant
[20:50] <hiexpo> Seven_Six_Two, yes it isa very powerful tool and there is no rescue
[20:50] <acicula> !wpa
[20:50] <serenity> hi
[20:50] <shomon> ah thaks acicula !
[20:51] <semitones> acicula, would there be any change in performance? I'd imagine that the live usb is better suited to running on a usb drive than a normal install
[20:51] <Seven_Six_Two> noisewaterphd, it depends on what the deb is, and what it's requirements are.
[20:51] <bounder> ty guntbert
[20:51] <BrumDart> wjd86: fwiw, I'm using dd-wrt firmware on my router, which has been working flawlessly with dyndns.org for nearly a year.
[20:51] <Kyle__> Just incase anyone was curious, if you are running an NIS server, snmpd won't install properly while NIS is running.  Just turn off nis, then install snmpd, and then turn nis back on.  Funny how easy it was.
[20:51] <serenity> my cpus don't speed up. cpufreq-info says it can clock from 800mhz t0 800mhz
[20:51] <shomon> also is it possible to do init 3 or 4 as you could in other distros ages ago, and boot with no X?
[20:51] <shomon> guis are overrated :)
[20:51] <acicula> scipy: lsb_release -a will tell you your current release
[20:51] <noisewaterphd-hp> Seven_Six_Two: Oracle 10g Express
[20:51] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, and before I got a static ip, I used dyndns as well. It worked just fine
[20:52] <scipy> from cli, how can i get a hardwae description of the system: cpu, mem, hdd, ...
[20:52] <acicula> shomon: eh its differnt for debian/ubuntu
[20:52] <acicula> shomon: sec let me check
[20:52] <bounder> night folks!
[20:52] <shomon> thanks!
[20:52] <guntbert> !nox | shomon
[20:52] <Seven_Six_Two> noisewaterphd, I don't remember the command, but you should be able to install it with gdebi
[20:52] <Seven_Six_Two> !gdebi
[20:52] <acicula> shomon: ubuntu only knows single user mode (1) and multiuser with gui(2-5)
[20:53] <shomon> oh well, yeah that init thing was great back when X was so flaky it kept crashing anyway
[20:53] <acicula> shomon: also sysinit V is being replaced by upstart
[20:53] <acicula> well is replaced
[20:53] <shomon> acicula, on the wifi docs page, is it the bit on "enabling WPA"?
[20:54] <trik> Hey guys, in terminal how can I do multiple commands in one line? example: cd Desktop & mkdir blog & cd blog... one line
[20:54] <erUSUL> trik: put && or a ; instead of &
[20:54] <VCoolio> trik: && for one after another, & for all at a time
[20:54] <shomon> ah yes it is :)
[20:54] <trik> ohh &&
[20:55] <excelsior> I want to get programming experience with python 3, any suggestions?
[20:55] <trik> ok let me try... i'm trying to increase my productivity...
[20:55] <maco> excelsior: #python
[20:55] <acicula> shomon: eh idk, you can not use networkmanager to configure it for you, so you have to play with /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to setup a wpa2 wifi connection
[20:55] <roeland> how do you guys recommend i go about setting up some shared files on ubuntu 10.10 server?  i need to access files on my windows machine.  i am using ubuntu server as a web development environment on my local network
[20:55] <excelsior> maco: thanks
[20:55] <erUSUL> roeland: use ssh
[20:55] <shomon> roeland, ubuntu one could be easy
[20:55] <royceremer> excelsior: /join #python ... also, 2.4/2.6 is more popular
[20:56] <erUSUL> !sshd | roeland
[20:56] <acicula> roeland: right click the directory in nautilus and just select to share the folder
[20:56] <lolmatic> http://paste.ubuntu.com/593728/ <---- help :(
[20:56] <shomon> or mounting samba shares is good too unless you've got windows 7 :)
[20:56] <marcin> contecin
[20:56] <jorgeu> !iptables
[20:56] <roeland> sounds like overkill.. ssh.. my old web dev server was windows based and i just shared my www root folder
[20:56] <roeland> so i could make changes directly
[20:56] <acicula> roeland: yeah you can just share the folders directly just like in windows
[20:56] <jorgeu> !msconfig
[20:56] <erUSUL> roeland: what is overkill about ssh? there is sshfs and the Places>connect to Server
[20:57] <guntbert> !here | lolmatic
[20:57] <roeland> well.. i want to edit files directly using netbeans
[20:57] <smw> roeland, ssh is never overkill
[20:57] <shomon> yep, ssh is easy and there's front ends if you really want them
[20:57] <spetrea> how can I write   ctrl+pgdn    or    ctrl+pgup in my  .screenrc  ?  I'm trying to bind the first combination to 'next' and the second to 'prev' to switch between GNU Screen tabs
[20:57] <industrial> My time is wrong, whenever I set the time right it will be wrong again on reboot. How do I fix it definately? Can't it get the time from a time server somewhere?
[20:57] <gtroy> industrial: you need a battery
[20:57] <royceremer> sshfs is not the easiest way to do that, I would go samba/nfs before sshfs for continued development
[20:57] <industrial> gtroy: luckily this laptop has a huge one!
[20:57] <acicula> industrial: when you say off is it always off by the same amount?
[20:57] <smw> industrial, bios battery. Consult the manufacturer of the computer.
[20:58] <industrial> smw: macbook pro.
[20:58] <roeland> samba / nfs is similar to shared folders in windows environement
[20:58] <gtroy> industrial: see smw
[20:58] <erUSUL> lolmatic: i do not understand your language... run the command like this  « LC_ALL=C apt-get install prelude-manager » so the error is given in english
[20:58] <roeland> ?
[20:58] <smw> industrial, consult apple.
[20:58] <industrial> consult my ass
[20:58] <industrial> >:(
[20:58] <semitones> would it be better to install natty to a USB drive or make the 'live usb' persistant, if my goal is to have a persistant natty installation on a usb drive?
[20:58] <acicula> roeland: samba is exactly the same as windows share
[20:58] <royceremer> roeland: exactly the same standards, just a little different to setup
[20:58] <brewzka> anyone here know enough about rhythmbox/gstreamer that can help me troubleshoot a weird issue where the checkboxes for selecting individual tracks are missing?
[20:58] <gtroy> industrial it's probably a cr2032 or something
[20:58] <acicula> roeland: nfs is also a filesharing system but not similar to windows shares/samba, i wouldnt bother with that
[20:59] <guntbert> gtroy: gone
[20:59] <smw> gtroy, lol. He just said "consult my ass >:(" and left.
[20:59] <royceremer> agreed, for ease of setup, samba is the way to go - for secure file sharing or transfer of large files, nfs
[20:59] <gtroy> on natty getting xorg panic when screen idles
[20:59] <guntbert> smw: no need to repeat
[20:59] <gtroy> on hdmi, any ideas?
[20:59] <roeland> i dont care about secure. it is on my local network only
[20:59] <roeland> for personal testing
[20:59] <quatch> if i run dragon age 2 in vmware will it be fast enoughh to play?
[20:59] <royceremer> ...and for everyone else who can't support either of those two protocols, sshfs
[20:59] <beefman> anyone gotten 11 beta to work on a mac?  i'm putting it on usb stick but mac won't recognize the boot device
[20:59] <acicula> roeland: easiest way on ubuntu is just browse to a folder you want to share and set it as shared in properties. in places you can browse the network to find your windows shares, or alternatively use connect to server to permanently create a connection to a windows share similar to attaching a network disk in windows
[21:00] <acicula> beefman: try #ubuntu+1
[21:00] <royceremer> roeland: smb all the way then
[21:00] <roeland> acilua, i am runnin server
[21:00] <beefman> k
[21:00] <roeland> not running a gui
[21:00] <gtroy> quatch: I'd use wine if it works
[21:00] <smw> royceremer, ssh is always the easiest because it is just one command to install :-).
[21:00] <acicula> roeland: eh then you have to edit the smb.conf in /etc directly
[21:00] <quatch> it wont i get no sound and the game looks like its in windowed mode
[21:00] <smw> royceremer, unless you are serving files, ssh is all you need
[21:00] <roeland> kk
[21:00] <acicula> roeland: actually no, se
[21:00] <acicula> *SEC
[21:00] <roeland> ok
[21:00] <acicula> there are some userspace tools that let you manipulate smb shares from the console as well
[21:01] <royceremer> smw: right, if you read his original request, it was to share files for his dev webserver
[21:01] <trik> so cd.. is go back in one dir right?
[21:01] <royceremer> trik: yes
[21:01] <smw> royceremer, and I am saying that is what ssh is for.
[21:01] <shomon> how do I find out what wifi card I have?
[21:01] <lolmatic> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/593733/
[21:01] <Psycho_Mario> hi, is it possible for a bash script to find if it is running in the background?
[21:01] <guntbert> trik: cd ..    (mind the space)
[21:01] <shomon> is it grepping dmesg?
[21:02] <shomon> (cos I'm doing that, but it's not working)
[21:02] <smw> Psycho_Mario, I am pretty sure there is an env var. I forget which one
[21:02] <trik> can I get terminal to ask for input before continueing the command?
[21:02] <roeland> acicula what userspace tools are you talking about
[21:02] <shomon> trik, yes with bash
[21:02] <trik> explain please.
[21:02] <VCoolio> trik: man read
[21:02] <shomon> or in many scripting languages please
[21:03] <hari_> hi
[21:03] <ubuntu1> hi guyz, ive got a problem... http://screenshooter.net/5306627/13_04_2011__21_39_46 - ubuntu seems not to see my opened programs... how to fix this?
[21:03] <lolmatic> http://paste.ubuntu.com/593733/ <--- is there any way i can reinstall this and have the configuration be written by that subroutine i canceled at the first install?
[21:03] <petisnnake> hello, any ideas why my internet is super slow in ubuntu (regardless of browser) but not in Windows?
[21:03] <smw> Psycho_Mario, google rules. http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/localfiles/infofiles/bash/bashref_54.html
[21:04] <acicula> roeland: sec , googling for it again, i used it not so long ago
[21:04] <trik> VCoolio, link or explain to me?
[21:04] <ubuntu1> hi guyz, ive got a problem... http://screenshooter.net/5306627/13_04_2011__21_39_46 - ubuntu seems not to see my opened programs... how to fix this?
[21:04] <guntbert> petisnnake: wireless?
[21:04] <shomon> trik try "help read" if it works
[21:04] <shomon> or just man bash
[21:04] <petisnnake> guntbert: cable
[21:04] <Psycho_Mario> smw: thanks
[21:05] <guntbert> petisnnake: then I see no reason at all - sorry
[21:05] <petisnnake> guntbert: and it's about 10 times slower
[21:05] <petisnnake> guntbert: oki thanks
[21:05] <shomon> I was trying to find a link for a nice bash tutorial that shows it, but there's hundreds really...
[21:05] <jiltdil> how to enable any port through terminal
[21:05] <guntbert> !repeat ubuntu1
[21:05] <smw> shomon, what are you trying to do?
[21:05] <acicula> roeland: you can as a user add and remove shares using the net program
[21:05] <smw> jiltdil, define "enable"
[21:05] <Psycho_Mario> smw: it gives me the same output when running ./script.sh & and ./script.sh
[21:05] <acicula> roeland: so net usershare add myshare
[21:06] <roeland> ah ha
[21:06] <ubuntu1> hi guyz, ive got a problem... http://screenshooter.net/5306627/13_04_2011__21_39_46 - ubuntu seems not to see my opened programs... how to fix this?
[21:06] <semitones> acicula, would there be any change in performance? I'd imagine that the live usb is better suited to running on a usb drive than a normal install?
[21:06] <roeland> "myshare" being the location i want to share4?
[21:06] <acicula> roeland: you can also use it to set permissions and the like
[21:06] <smw> Psycho_Mario, it can not tell if it is running in the background like that. It can only tell if bash is running in interactive mode.
[21:06] <acicula> roeland: yeah if you just type in net usershare it will give you some options and explanations
[21:06] <roeland> cool
i want to say i want to make a connection to port 22 how to enable it that can my system can be accesed to ssh
[21:06] <roeland> now acicula, is that using samba?
[21:07] <roeland> or nfs?
[21:07] <acicula> roeland: in case you mess up just remove the shares using net usershare
[21:07] <Psycho_Mario> smw; ah, i want the script to be able to see if & was appended to the execution
[21:07] <acicula> roeland: thats using samba
[21:07] <BajK> when are those /etc/cron.daily jobs executed? daily, yes, but when? on shutdown?
[21:07] <smw> jiltdil, you just need to install ssh
[21:07] <Psycho_Mario> smw; or rather, whether it had been put in the background as & would
[21:07] <smw> jiltdil, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[21:07] <shomon> smw, sorry I was trying to find some man page or help for trik
[21:07] <roeland> gotcha, and samba is installed in default installation?
[21:07] <dd214> Are there any email clients that can connect to Exchange 2010?  IMAP/POP is not an option
actually i have installed it but by mistake the port 22 is closed
[21:07] <smw> Psycho_Mario, I do not believe it can see that.
[21:08] <Psycho_Mario> smw; hm okay, ill have to do it another way.
[21:08] <acicula> semitones: the liveusb stick or cd contains a compressed filesystem that is mapped onto a root mount point
[21:08] <smw> jiltdil, are you sure ssh is running? By default ubuntu does not block ports
[21:08] <guntbert> BajK: generally sometime after midnight
[21:08] <smw> Psycho_Mario, I have an idea. Try it with nohup
[21:08] <trik> I tried googling the answer for this. I have certain file types that I want to change the icons. I know if I right click and go to properties and it changes that one file icon, but how can I change all files with that extension ?
[21:09] <acicula> acicula: so its very different from a normal installation
[21:09] <jiltdil> smw>ya it is running i check service ssh status it is running
[21:09] <smw> Psycho_Mario, with nohup it might see it is not in a normal shell.
[21:09] <acicula> err i meant semitones
[21:09] <acicula> roeland: idont think samba is installed by default
[21:09] <guntbert> jiltdil: can you reach it from the host itself?
[21:09] <smw> jiltdil, anything in /etc/hosts.deny ?
sudo ufw allow 22
[21:09] <Psycho_Mario> smw; the point is that im chucking a few commands in a bash script which syncs some files with wget, i want to be able to background it, and i might sometimes forget the &, and i want it to give me a message (notify-send) when the sync is done
[21:10] <VCoolio> trik: http://tinyurl.com/6gj3w8 http://tinyurl.com/3gpkq3l that kind of stuff
[21:10] <acicula> roeland: also i think this requires samba 3.0
[21:10] <semitones> acicula, yeah, so it has to uncompress. but also doesn't it try to make a FS in the RAM so there aren't too many reads/writes to the usb, which slow it down?
is that correct
[21:10] <smw> jiltdil, you use ufw?
[21:10] <Psycho_Mario> smw; so nohup would have the same problem as &
[21:10] <lolmatic> http://paste.ubuntu.com/593733/ <--- is there any way i can reinstall this and have the configuration be written by that subroutine i canceled at the first install?
[21:10] <jiltdil> yes
[21:10] <BluesKaj> !samba
[21:10] <roeland> acicula: if i use apt-get will it grab 3.0?
please tell is it correct
[21:10] <jiltdil> guntbert:thanx
[21:10] <smw> jiltdil, I do not know ufw
thanx
[21:11] <jerzy> I can't seem to get video working on UNR 10.04 with any of the video players i have (vlc, totem/totem-gstreamer). Any ideas what could be wrong since i do get sound but no video (should have all codecs installed)?
[21:11] <acicula> semitones: it overlays a virtual memory based filesystem on top of the existing static filesystem
[21:11] <smw> jiltdil, you did not mention you were using it :-\.
[21:11] <acicula> roeland: depends on your ubuntu version, apt-cache show will tell you
[21:11] <roeland> runnin 10.10
[21:11] <BluesKaj> jerzy, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed , if not do so.
[21:12] <roliver>  Hey guys, i've just used ndiswrapper so I don't have to use some nasty reversed engineered broadcom driver but I can't seem to make the kernel load the new driver.  Even though I've blacklisted it, the kernel module shows up as ssb for the PCI card when I run the command lspci -v. Any ideas?
sorry i forget to tell that
[21:12] <jerzy> BluesKaj i do have it
[21:12] <guntbert> jiltdil: no need for the < .. > around nicks
[21:12] <jerzy> alrady did everything on every forum to try fixing it.
[21:13] <roeland> one other noob question: is there a packaged lamp setup i can get through apt-get?
[21:13] <roeland> i know i can manually do apache, then php then mysql
[21:13] <acicula> !lamp
[21:14] <hiexpo> jerzy, so you can not play any videos?
[21:14] <acicula> hmm thats kind of dated
[21:14] <WMP> hello
[21:14] <WMP> maybe someone know how to set deny permissions to other in file in ACL?
[21:14] <jiltdil> when i want to connect to my host through my guest via ssh it is saying connection timeout but reverse is happening why i am using virtualbox OS in NAT mode please help?
[21:14] <jerzy> hiexpo: nope, and starting totem from terminal gives no error messages
[21:14] <jerzy> just hear audio, no video
[21:14] <jerzy> many formats tested
[21:14] <acicula> roeland: tough apt-get install <apache_package> <php_package> <mysql_package> <mod_security-package> should do it
[21:14] <semitones> acicula, would you recommend installing natty to a usb then? or modifying the liveusb?
[21:15] <vychune> hey can someone help me unity 2D
[21:15] <roeland> acicula: they mention this command: sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[21:15] <Guest57826> I need some help with preseeding netboot installations
[21:15] <acicula> semitones: prolonged use of a usb stick as an os is something i advise against
[21:15] <BluesKaj> jerzy, do you have mplayer , try that from the terminal
[21:16] <acicula> acicula: eh that sortof is a metapackage
[21:16] <hiexpo> jerzy, on any video player or just totem ?
[21:16] <acicula> roeland: that is sort of a metapackage
[21:16] <Guest57826> I have a server that will netboot and manually install clients. but they aren't even attempting to hit the preseed file
[21:16] <guntbert> roeland: you *can* use tasksel, but use it *only to install* lamp, NEVER to uninstall (I tell from very bad experience)
[21:16] <vychune> helllloooooooooooo
[21:16] <jerzy> hiexpo: on any i had tested, testing mplayer now
[21:16] <hiexpo> jerzy, ok
[21:16] <acicula> roeland: though in all fairness just hitting apt-get with packages will get you whatever it is you wanted
[21:16] <roeland> so in other words its better to manually install each component?
[21:16] <semitones> acicula, not for production, but for familiarizing myself with natty before its released. Would you still advise against it
[21:17] <rjune> I've set the menu configs as instructed to pass the preseed/url to the client
[21:17] <acicula> semitones: id just make a  usb stick from the overnight build
[21:17] <acicula> semitones: a live cd stick i mean
[21:17] <hiexpo> jerzy, is this on 10.04
[21:17] <semitones> acicula, ok that's what i was doing
[21:17] <jerzy> hiexpo: yes
[21:18] <jerzy> hiexpo: it finds the codec and everything in mplayer, just showing a black screen
[21:18] <semitones> acicula, but i wanted to install programs on it, update it, and boot straight to ubuntu desktop. Is that possible
[21:18] <hiexpo> jerz ok you have a conflict i had thathappenbefore i am trying to remember what it was
[21:18] <shomon> acicula, what was it you just sent to ubottu, about the thing you type in grub to start up without X?
[21:18] <shomon> sorry but it's scrolled off now... :/
[21:19] <acicula> semitones: well it used to be possible to persist changes to a usb live stick
[21:19] <jerzy> hiexpo: This is Ubuntu Netbook Remix just so you remember
[21:19] <acicula> shomon: no, but you probably want to add single to the kernel boot option
[21:19] <acicula> shomon: if you want single user mode
[21:19] <semitones> acicula, what do you mean "used to?"
[21:19] <roeland> ssh!
[21:19] <acicula> semitones: it used to be possible
[21:19] <roeland> !ssh
[21:19] <semitones> acicula, is it not anymore?
[21:19] <shomon> ah, so there is no way to just switch to it after booting up normally?
[21:20] <hiexpo> jerzy, ok it was a gstreamer conflict
[21:20] <BluesKaj> totem is unstable and clunky and iirc it also intereferes with other video player/codec calls
[21:20] <jerzy> got a link for fix pr
[21:21] <acicula> shomon: eh init single or init 1 should do it i think
[21:21] <shomon> ok thanks! will try that...
[21:21] <acicula> shomon: might also be possible to get to single mode via the rescue boot option
[21:21] <acicula> semitones: as far as i can tell yes
[21:22] <jerzy> should i purge totem and totem-gstreamer?
[21:22] <BluesKaj> jerzy, not gstreamer just totem
[21:22] <semitones> :(
[21:22] <rhin0> sdb errors on bootup -- system seems to run fine otherwise (10.04) -- should I worry about anything? -- example: "example end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 120 [   78.450829] Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 15"
[21:22] <rhin0> dell inspiron m5010
[21:22] <shomon> no that's okay. It's a laptop I use as a server, so when I-m on it I want X on, but the rest of the time I'd like to keep it(and most other desktoppy things) off...
[21:22] <rhin0> quite a few sdb errors
[21:23] <acicula> rhin0: thats not good
[21:23] <rhin0> aargh
[21:23] <Galvatron> jerzy: Use VLC or smplayer - both perform much better than this thing
[21:23] <rhin0> I dunno have been reinstalling a lot
[21:23] <rhin0> just started happening last few days
[21:23] <acicula> rhin0: probably was broken before, only making changes to the disk makes it show
[21:23] <brewzka> which ubuntu channel is the best for troubleshooting rhythmbox or gstreamer issues?
[21:23] <acicula> rhin0: best start backing up right now
[21:24] <jerzy> Galvatron: well, i have the same issue on vlc, and it sure usually does work better
[21:24] <rhin0> aargh
[21:24] <rhin0> laptops < 6 months old
[21:24] <jerzy> BluesKaj: i purged totem and it did not help
[21:24] <rhin0> only errors on bootup though
[21:24] <Nimii> hey all, i have a problome with  my sql server http://pastebin.com/VQaae1Sw . can any one help? i look thro the internet and nothing works.
[21:24] <acicula> rhin0: i broke 2 lenovo's within a week and the 3d within a year :/
[21:25] <l1nuxman> isn't it enough to edit /etc/issue and it will display a message uplon login? That's what I did and doesn't show
[21:25] <rhin0> i'll just continue -- wait for something to fail on system
[21:25] <rhin0> keep files apart
[21:25] <bilal> is there any software in ubuntu for data recovery?????
[21:25] <acicula> !undelete
[21:25] <acicula> sleuthkit and such are usefull tools for forensics
[21:26] <BluesKaj> jerzy, what about mplayer ~/pathtofile
[21:26] <acicula> also dry ice is your friend
[21:26] <genii-around> !ddrescue
[21:26] <genii-around> Hm
[21:26] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj,  I'm back from reinstalling all packages. I'm not sure if it worked or not. Ubuntu is still going to the tty console at start, and not launching X... Is there anything I should do? I also tried different Ctrl+Alt+F1 - F12 and Ctrl+Alt+backspace and was not able to launch X...
[21:26] <bilal> is there any software for data recovery in ubuntu???
[21:26] <jerzy> BluesKaj: same problem... black screen and sound
[21:26] <Qui___> Help
[21:26] <Qui___> ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Hämtningar/iw-0.9.19$ iw The program 'iw' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install iw You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
[21:27] <jerzy> BluesKaj: and it does say it found the video codec
[21:27] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, startx
[21:27] <acicula> rhin0: the disk utility can read out some data from the disk to determine its condition, but i really urge you to make sure that any data you want to keep you backup straight awayu
[21:27] <genii-around> bilal: See the links above from ubottu
[21:27] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, is that a command?
[21:27] <rhin0> disk utility?  what command
[21:27] <rhin0> ok found it
[21:28] <acicula> system->administration->disk utility
[21:28] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, it starts the Xserver ..you'll probly get to the login or the no screens error
[21:28] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, ok, I'm gonna try that
[21:29] <bilal> genii-around,will u plzzz tell me where is this link,,or i will thank full to u if u give me link???plzzz
[21:29] <genii-around> !undelete | bilal
[21:29] <Qui___> Did anyone pick up on  my problem?  (You will have to enable the component called 'universe')
[21:30] <bilal> thank u
[21:30] <Qui___> Im not a advanced user, I need to enable the component Universe
[21:30] <acicula> Qui___: it means you have to enable addition repository's, unser system->adminstration->software sources you have to tick universe
[21:30] <acicula> *additional
[21:30] <WWW> when is the new ubuntu coming out
[21:30] <genii-around> !repos > Qui___
[21:30] <Qui___> acicula: There is no software sources under Administraton, running ubuntu 10.10
[21:31] <WWW> !ubuntu
[21:31] <acicula> Qui___: under the System menu under Administration there is a Software sources program, unless you are not logged in to a gui, or using a different language?
[21:32] <WWW> !channels
[21:32] <Qui___> have a synaptic package manager?
[21:33] <acicula> WWW: you can ask about natty in #ubuntu+1
[21:33] <Pici> acicula: I'm pretty sure that menu option was removed in 10.10 and pushed into Ubuntu Software Center.
[21:33] <WWW> acicula: thanks
[21:33] <acicula> Pici: ok, thanx for pointing that out
[21:34] <acicula> Qui___: you have top open Ubuntu Software manager, then under edit at the bottom you will see Software sources, click on that
[21:34] <Pici> acicula: I tried to help Qui___ earlier, but I don't have a GUI in front of me to find where that option is.
[21:34] <lolmatic> http://paste.ubuntu.com/593744/ <--- wtf? i purged it but the installation still fails :(
[21:34] <ikonia> luckysky_: is on the langauge please
[21:35] <acicula> Pici: ah yeah im on 10.04 here :P. software sources shows under the edit option in the ubuntu software center, im assuming that hasnt changed ?
[21:35] <ikonia> lolmatic: prelude-lml --configure
[21:35] <shomon> how can I tell what eap method my wireless card supports?
[21:35] <ikonia> lolmatic: it's complaining that the init script can't start
[21:36] <Pici> acicula: I'm pretty sure its still there.  Also, if you upgrade, the menu item in System>Administration might still exist.
[21:36] <roeland> so, i installed openssh-server on my ubuntu 10.10 box.  now i am trying to connect via sftp to modify some config files.  problem is, the files are owned by root, so i cannot modify them with my account. solution?
[21:36] <acicula> hmm good point
[21:36] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, I just tried startx and also tried xinit, and all I got was anasty error :( "Fatal Server Error: no screen found" Does this mean anything to you?
[21:37] <lolmatic> ikonia: because prelude-lml profile is not registered?
[21:37] <acicula> shomon: eh i think its just a matter of wheter it supports wep, wpa or wpa2. some forms of eap are used within those standards i think
[21:37] <test1234> Hi, my sound card is working just  fine and i've turned up all microphone settings in the alsamixer but i still cannot get the microphone to work. Anyone know of something else i can check? The mic isn't muted btw i've checked that aswell.
[21:38] <roeland> how do i enable logging in via sftp with root access?
[21:38] <acicula> Qui___: can you find the software sources option under edit in the ubuntu software center?
[21:38] <shomon> thanks acicula
[21:38] <shcherbak> test
[21:38] <acicula> roeland: youd have to set a password for root
[21:38] <roeland> oh, ic
[21:38] <acicula> roeland: or setup key based authentication
[21:38] <roeland> ill just set a root password. its just a local test box
[21:38] <genii-around> !test | shcherbak
[21:39] <Apollonovich> what's the recommended way to start ubuntu without X (temporarily.  not single user mode.  mostly I just want to nuke my .kde directory when I'm *not* logged in so I don't have to watch the world implode around me)
[21:39] <Qui___> acicula: Starting Ubuntu software Center, but it seems to Force Close
[21:39] <mama21mama> ya entendi
[21:39] <mama21mama> :)
[21:39] <shcherbak> genii-around: hm, yes, was aiming for ot, but tab tricked me, sorry.
[21:39] <acicula> Apollonovich: eh aside from uninstalling you can stop gdm from starting
[21:40] <acicula> Qui___: i do not understand, Force Close?
[21:40] <l1nuxman> isn't it enough to edit /etc/issue and it will display a message uplon login? That's what I did and doesn't show...
[21:40] <Pici> Apollonovich: or kdm, if you're on a Kubuntu install.
[21:40] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, yes it means we need install the proper driver for your graphics card , at the tty ,sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , then sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[21:40] <Apollonovich> true.  chmod -x /etc/init.d/kdm ought to do it I imagine...
[21:41] <acicula> Apollonovich: you can stop gdm from starting by modifying the /etc/init/{x,g,k}dm config file. or just rename it to gdm.conf.donstart
[21:41] <Qui___> Force Close = load and then dissapares
[21:41] <Qui___> acicula:
[21:41] <acicula> Qui___: it shows the software sources menu and then disappears again?
[21:41] <Qui___> acicula: does it matter im running from USB .iso ?
[21:42] <acicula> Qui___: no it shouldnt matter
[21:42] <shomon> hmm, I don't have a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf...
[21:42] <roeland> !samba
[21:42] <acicula> Apollonovich: the init.d verison should just symlink to upstart, its the /etc/init version you want
[21:42] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, ok, gonna try that. Brb
[21:43] <Qui___> acicula: I start from the meny, I can get a bar with the name. but it cant be opened, and the move showing its working. and then it just disapares.
[21:43] <trism> shomon: you create wpa_supplicant.conf with wpa_passphrase
[21:43] <Qui___> acicula: it looks like it wont open correctly and terminate itself
[21:43] <acicula> Qui___: thats odd, that should not be happening. the alternative is editing the /etc/apt/sources.list by hand.
[21:44] <shomon> trism, I just ran it, but I think I have to manually create that file and copy the output from wpa_passphrase in there
[21:44] <acicula> you can type gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and then look for lines that contain universe
[21:44] <Apollonovich> acicula: ah, I knew there was a reason I was asking this in #ubuntu, instead of just treating it like slackware 7 :-P
[21:44] <acicula> Apollonovich: :)
[21:44] <shomon> on the other hand it's also in /etc/dbus-1/system.d
[21:44] <wjd86> seven_six_two: arey ou there?
[21:44] <Qui___> acicula: thats not a problem. what should I look for?
[21:44] <prhone> has anyone been able to install 11.04 over lan (pxe)?
[21:45] <trism> shomon: yes, or: wpa_passphrase ssid | sudo tee /etc/wpa.conf;
[21:45] <roeland> if i set up multiple websites on a ubuntu box. what is the recomended location to put the sites, by default it looks like there is a www folder under /var
[21:45] <Seven_Six_Two> wjd86, if you can make it quick  ;)  I am just about to eat
[21:45] <acicula> Qui___: find the lines that contain universe, if they start with # deb or # deb-src remove the #
[21:45] <roeland> what is the /srv folder used for?
[21:45] <pentesilea> mutter does not work on my geforce optimus graphiccard. could somebody solve this problem?
[21:45] <acicula> roeland: think its the webserver root directory
[21:45] <shomon> ah good, well it-s done now, but I should use tee more!
[21:46] <shomon> thanks trism
[21:46] <shcherbak> mm /srv server files?
[21:46] <roeland> acicula: i will be using virtual hosts
[21:46] <Qui___> acicula: # deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick universe # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick universe
[21:46] <roeland> so i plan on having several folders with different sites. just tryin to decide where best to place em
[21:46] <acicula> Qui___: yes
[21:46] <Qui___> will remove the # infront of both lines
[21:46] <acicula> Qui___: just remove the # sign and then save
[21:47] <Seven_Six_Two> roeland, I keep mine in /var/www
[21:47] <x_> please HELP!
[21:47] <acicula> Qui___: you can safely remove all the # signs in front of deb or deb-src if you want to add the other repositories, every line that starts with ## should not be edited
[21:47] <x_> looking for a great text editor
[21:47] <Qui___> acicula: how do I run sudo when I have to save the file from nano?
[21:47] <roeland> i gotcha seven_six_two
[21:47] <Seven_Six_Two> x_, vim
[21:47] <acicula> roeland: virtual hosts have little to do with physical file locations ;)
[21:47] <shcherbak> roeland: any comfortable, remember to set permissions
[21:48] <acicula> Qui___: you are root when you start with gksu
[21:48] <roeland> gotcha
[21:48] <acicula> Qui___: so you can use gedit to save the file drectly. But yeah you can also edit those files by using sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:48] <Qui___> acicula: [ Error writing /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied ]
[21:48] <Seven_Six_Two> acicula, nano isn't gui, is it?
[21:49] <acicula> Seven_Six_Two: its a console ditor yeah
[21:49] <Qui___> acicula: ok let me try
[21:49] <Seven_Six_Two> Qui___, sudo nano
[21:49] <Seven_Six_Two> Qui___, or gksudo. in your case it doesn't matter
[21:50] <Qui___> acicula: worked.
[21:50] <acicula> excellent
[21:51] <Qui___> acicula: now I need iw, but apt-get install iw cant get it
[21:51] <l1nuxman> anyone help?
[21:51] <acicula> Qui___: run apt-get update first
[21:51] <forevertheuni> hi, I have a problem with my auto-load of the snd-hda-intel. When the computer starts..when I connect the headphones it doesn't recognize them. but if I rmmod snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel...everything is ok...anyone has a hint?
[21:52] <acicula> l1nuxman: only if you ask first ;)
[21:52] <l1nuxman> acicula, I did twice
[21:52] <En> this may not be the right place but i got an acer 5100  runing windows and wont recognised any usb just power the usb light on , i tryed udating bios , installing driver but nothing sems to make the work , any idea what might be wrong with it ?
[21:52] <acicula> forevertheuni: eh you rmmod/modprobe when its connected or before you connect the headphone
[21:52] <l1nuxman> isn't it enough to edit /etc/issue and it will display a MOTD message upon login? That's what I did and doesn't show...
[21:52] <acicula> l1nuxman: oh sorry must have missed it
[21:52] <Qui___> acicula: it will update my univers now aswell?
[21:53] <acicula> Qui___: yes
[21:53] <MarcelC> where are located the splash themes for GDM? (gnome)
[21:53] <Qui___> acicula: ok, had runned that command 5 times today already :)
[21:53] <forevertheuni> acicula, before connectng
[21:53] <forevertheuni> actually I don't know....
[21:53] <wjd86> !whois wjd86
[21:54] <acicula> l1nuxman: well motd is shown upon login
[21:54] <mickster04> wjd86: /whois xxx !command's are for ubottu
[21:54] <acicula> l1nuxman: how is the motd generated?
[21:54] <wjd86> thanks
[21:55] <Bluebill-Wolf> where the hell did my sound go 0-o
[21:55] <wjd86> if i never turn off my router, will i maintain an ip?
[21:55] <mickster04> Bluebill-Wolf: away
[21:55] <wjd86> assuming the power doesnt go out
[21:55] <Qui___> acicula: ok, it worked perfectly now. I can use airmon-ng start wlan0
[21:55] <mickster04> wjd86: what ip?
[21:55] <Bluebill-Wolf> ok how do i do the sudo command to have comptuer scan for the drivers?
[21:55] <acicula> wjd86: if its a dynamic ip it depends on your provider
[21:55] <mickster04> internal or externa;l?
[21:55] <Bluebill-Wolf> internal
[21:55] <Qui___> acicula: thanks for your help
[21:55] <wjd86> external
[21:55] <mickster04> wjd86: probably not,
[21:55] <acicula> Qui___: sweet
[21:55] <wjd86> :/
[21:55] <trism> l1nuxman: the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/ determine the motd output
[21:56] <mickster04> wjd86: check out no-ip or dynadns
[21:56] <wjd86> so i have to buy the static ip from my isp correct?
[21:56] <acicula> wjd86: you can use dyndns to find your router
[21:56] <mickster04> wjd86: not really :p
[21:56] <acicula> wjd86: unless you must have a static ip not really
[21:56] <jessicaBR> hey BluesKaj, I tried updating and upgrading apt-get and then tried aptg-get install nvidia-current, but it says I'm already using the newest version...
[21:56] <wjd86> well im setting up a web server
[21:56] <acicula> trism: but those are not called for every login right?
[21:57] <mickster04> wjd86: yeah check out no-ip or dynadns and you won't need to have a static ip, they do stuff for you
[21:57] <phonex01> wjd86 you can make small file polling your free hosting and update your ip
[21:57] <wjd86> ok thanks
[21:57] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, right now I'm using another PC to talk in IRC, so it's more easy to execute things
[21:57] <jose> hola
[21:57] <jose> alguien me puede ayudar?
[21:57] <phonex01> when someone click your site he will be redirected to your website
[21:57] <phonex01> which will be your computer
[21:58] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, what's the graphics card again. geforce 310 ?
[21:58] <jkarlos> jose: que necesitas?
[21:58] <mickster04> !pm | Bluebill-Wolf
[21:58] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, that's right, NVIDIA 310M
[21:58] <Bluebill-Wolf> myh i'll keep that in mind
[21:58] <jose> a ver antes de nada jkarlos  gracias
[21:58] <mickster04> !en
[21:58] <forevertheuni> jessicaBR, you have ubuntu normal repo or another one?
[21:58] <Bluebill-Wolf> but for now i kinda need direct answers and rather post it if works XD
[21:59] <Bluebill-Wolf> but i'll keep that in mind for now on
[21:59] <jose> te explico... tengo 3 discos duros; en uno tenia el ubuntu 11.04, el 2º el xp y en el 3º el windows 7
[21:59] <Bluebill-Wolf> how do i have the computer scan for the drivers so i don't have to reinstall the os again?
[21:59] <jose> formatee el primero para quitar el 11.04 y volver al 10.10
[21:59] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, I remember adding other repositories to install gtk+3
[21:59] <B-r00t> jose: english!
[21:59] <jose> pero la sorpresa es q cuando le doy (en el grub) para que me arranque el xp o el 7 solo me funciona el 7...  cuando le doy al xp se me reinicia solo el ordenador
[22:00] <B-r00t> lol
[22:00]  * Bluebill-Wolf face paws
[22:00] <jkarlos> bueno antes que nada si no hablas ingles deberias entrar a la sala #ubuntu-es
[22:00] <wjd86> so that no-ip just redirects traffic to my server?
[22:00] <Bluebill-Wolf> still waiting on that answer >.>
[22:01] <jkarlos> pudiste instalar ubuntu 10.10 y te sale los 3 OS en el grup?
[22:01] <acicula> !patience
[22:01] <Bluebill-Wolf> :P
[22:01] <trism> acicula: they appear to be called for every ssh login when I test it
[22:01] <Bluebill-Wolf> how do i have the computer scan for the drivers so i don't have to reinstall the os again?
[22:01] <forevertheuni> jessicaBR, I use ubunt-x-swat it usually has the last version
[22:01] <acicula> trism: eh ok, so how does /etc/issue fit into that then
[22:01] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, what is ubuntu-x-swat?
[22:02] <Mikoar> I can't get magic lamp effect to work with minimize action in Unity
[22:02] <Bluebill-Wolf> How do I have the computer scan for the drivers so I don't have to reinstall the os again?
[22:02] <acicula> its a ppa repo that installs newer versions of nvidia drivers in your ubuntu
[22:02] <acicula> not sure if that will solve your problems though
[22:02] <Bluebill-Wolf> preferably in english?
[22:02] <B-r00t>  Bluebill-Wolf  what drivers?
[22:02] <Bluebill-Wolf> sound drivers
[22:02] <Bluebill-Wolf> it the comptuer can't find any of them
[22:03] <forevertheuni> jessicaBR, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat
[22:03] <Bluebill-Wolf> hmm one moment
[22:03] <hosein> hi people!
[22:03] <B-r00t> Bluebill-Wolf: you don't have sound?
[22:03] <trism> acicula: I don't know that it does
[22:03] <acicula> trism: k, thanx
[22:04] <hosein> anyone to show me a link for dw1501 wireless-n wlan half-Mini card driver?!
[22:04] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, this is where I got the repository for the gtk+3. Can that repository screw all my system? Should I remove the repositories? How can I do that?
[22:04] <forevertheuni> what's the problem with your system?
[22:04] <WWW> my ubuntu 10.10 its logging out by it self !! how can i fix that
[22:05] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, with "this" I mean launchpad
[22:05] <darxeth> u're hacked
[22:05] <forevertheuni> just start synaptic  settings repos..and take them out
[22:05] <WWW> darxeth:  me?
[22:05] <raido> WWW: Logging out or screensaver locking?
[22:05] <forevertheuni> then update upgrade
[22:05] <Dcite> WWW: Please clarify, what do you mean logging out by itself?
[22:05] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, everytime I launch ubuntu it sends me to console tty... X is not launched
[22:06] <acicula> forevertheuni: that does not remove ppa's, you can use the ppa-purge tool to remove packages from a ppa and downgrade, but its not exactly bullet proof
[22:06] <WWW> i am doing something on my pc and its just logging out its not a screensaver locking
[22:06] <visual1ce> hi
[22:06] <jessicaBR> it says
[22:06] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, I just did that
[22:06] <WWW> !him
[22:06] <WWW> !hi
[22:06] <forevertheuni> jessicaBR, do you know the error?
[22:06] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, told me to do that too
[22:06] <forevertheuni> in Xorg logs?
[22:06] <B-r00t> WWW: X chrash?
[22:06] <visual1ce> does anyone know if 2.6.38 supports TRIM on partitions encrypted with dm-crypt?
[22:06] <forevertheuni> try to move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if you can have something
[22:07] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, yes, it says "no screens found"
[22:07] <visual1ce> my system has eaten through 3 ssds in the past month
[22:07] <WWW> B-r00t: hmm dont think so its just 1 sec and then log in screen
[22:07] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, before that I get (EE) No drivers available
[22:07] <WWW> no errors
[22:07] <acicula> visual1ce: what kind of ssd?
[22:07] <GOMI> the edges are gone ??
[22:07] <GOMI> and i cant move the terminals
[22:07] <mickster04> WWW: sounds like you aren't actually logging in?
[22:07] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, yes, in Xorg output, after doing startx
[22:07] <visual1ce> sandforce - 2 OCZ Vertex 2s and 1 Corsair Force... all 120gb
[22:08] <visual1ce> now on my second corsair force
[22:08] <Bluebill-Wolf> yes
[22:08] <acicula> guess its not that then
[22:08] <B-r00t> WWW: try to disable compiz...
[22:08] <Dcite> WWW: If you can log into the Console (ctrl+alt+F1 or ctrl+alt+F2) check /var/log/messages or even a xorg.log to see if there are any indications.
[22:08] <Dcite> WWW: Also, the GUI is location at F7 or F8
[22:08] <forevertheuni> that's probably a version mismatch between module and files
[22:08] <saal7193> when i delete files they get permanently deleted instead of going to the trash bin, how can i change this?
[22:09] <ubuntuguy_> I created a bootable usb using start-up disk creator, one of the options were to create one using reserved space, and so I added space, can someone just tell me where it all saves to. Because when I left and came back, everything was still there
[22:09] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, should I move xorg.conf to where?
[22:09] <forevertheuni> try to move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a safe place
[22:09] <Bluebill-Wolf> yes i do not have sound and computer says it has no drivers
[22:09] <forevertheuni> and don't have that file
[22:09] <hosein> please help me to install my wifi driver?
[22:09] <forevertheuni> see if this makes you come to X with no nvidia drivers
[22:09] <acicula> visual1ce: its possible its related i guess, considered trying a different form of encryption like ecryptfs?
[22:10] <WWW> Dcite: nope nothing there  but if its a x crush then should i get a error or something? cuz i dont get an logging out sound
[22:10] <raido> visual1ce: I think whold disk or whole partition encryption and trim wont work well because the enctrption writes random data to the entire disk, every sector. So trim then chokes because is has no ability to trim
[22:10] <klendos> Hello
[22:10] <GOMI> when i remove compiz my edges are removed to ? what can i do to that ??
[22:10] <GOMI> edges of a terminal and stuff
[22:10] <Dcite> WWW: If it just goes blank and gives an X screen, it crashing
[22:10] <WWW> Dcite:  its not that then
[22:11] <visual1ce> i don't think either is supported... i google searched: ubuntu ssd trim encryption and the general consensus seems to be that its not supported although a single post suggests that a "commit" was made to implement it in 2.6.38
[22:11] <Dcite> WWW: Err X screen as in login screen
[22:11] <WWW> GOMI: this happens  when you remove the effects or unistaling compiz
[22:11] <visual1ce> i see raido
[22:12] <GOMI> so how do i prevent that , i want to fix other problems so i want to delete compiz
[22:12] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, I dont have that file in that path... :(
[22:12] <forevertheuni> hmm
[22:12] <forevertheuni> :S
[22:12] <mrec_> hi, is there a way to get rid of that new desktop with ubuntu 10.10? I want my old gnome desktop back
[22:12] <forevertheuni> try sudo modprobe nvidia
[22:13] <forevertheuni> do you have anything?
[22:13] <Dcite> GOMI: can't you set the display effects to none? That should turn of all issues which interfere with 3D apps
[22:13] <acicula> visual1ce: dont you loopbackmount a full encryption disk?
[22:13] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, I have xorg.conf.backup
[22:14] <MarcelC> what can I use instead of sudo su? sudo -?
[22:14] <visual1ce> i set my system up so that the boot partition was not encrypted... but i have no idea about loopback and such - all i did was follow walkthroughs :)
[22:14] <Dcite> MarcelC: try sudo -i
[22:14] <GOMI> ill try
[22:14] <iceroot> MarcelC: sudo -i
[22:14] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, got this error: "FATAL: Module nvidia not found"
[22:14] <visual1ce> but that does ring a bell acicula
[22:14] <MarcelC> iceroot, 10q
[22:15] <visual1ce> in any case im doing a zero fill now and i'm going to run ubuntu with no encryption
[22:15] <iceroot> MarcelC: what?
[22:15] <MarcelC> 10q = thank you
[22:15] <MarcelC> lol :)
[22:15] <forevertheuni> ehehe that's why it doesn't work jessica
[22:15] <forevertheuni> try to remove nvidia-current
[22:15] <visual1ce> 3 ssds in a month... that is just uber bad
[22:15] <jessicaBR> ok
[22:15] <forevertheuni> sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current
[22:15] <forevertheuni> and then install again
[22:16] <acicula> visual1ce: k, well you may have less wear and tear if you use ecryptfs , this encrtypts files on a file by file basis, that should limit any write amplication caused by the encryption
[22:16] <Dcite> MarcelC: "Kids these days.. they don't even txt anymore"
[22:16] <spaceturtle> Hello I am able to mount an NFS directory share, but the user and group owners on the mount are not anything I would think they should be, they are a long number like 635262535
[22:16] <spaceturtle> why is this?
[22:16] <Dcite> visual1ce: I'm just curious, as you filling the SSDs to capacity?
[22:16] <BluesKaj> jessicaBR, sudo apt-cache policy nvidia-current . pastebin the output , we'll see if the proper driver is there
[22:16] <MarcelC> Dcite, how come's that you know that I am getting older? :(
[22:16] <MarcelC> :P
[22:17] <visual1ce> acicula: for now i just need to get my system running so i can study but i'll start a thread on ubuntuforums and check in on it every now and then and once a few ppl have got trim working with dm-crypt or ecryptfs i'll reinstall with 11.04
[22:17] <WeThePeople> hi guys nd gals
[22:17] <WeThePeople> and*
[22:17] <BluesKaj> ok jessicaBR , NM ...too many cooks in the ubuntu kitchen...I have to go to dinner ...good luck
[22:18] <visual1ce> dcite: no, my home partition had around 70gb remaining on the last drive
[22:18] <Dcite> spaceturtle: Unless the system on both ends of the NFS have the same groupid and userid, they will show up as numbers instead.
[22:18] <hosein> Please help me connecting to you with ubuntu!!
[22:18] <visual1ce> my first drive was a bit more variable and i had some blue-rays on the system
[22:18] <spaceturtle> Dcite: is there some way I can sync these?
[22:18] <jessicaBR> BluesKaj, I'm really sorry!! Just wanted to solve my problem!
[22:18] <spaceturtle> they are both ww-data
[22:18] <spaceturtle> *www-data
[22:19] <Dcite> spaceturtle: Perhaps you can change their ID numbers in /etc  passwd and groups   and then chown them to the new numbers.
[22:19] <woodyjlw> hi guys. i dont know how to install a .bin file. any help?  this is file I want to run  PlaneShift-v0.5.6-x86.bin   and I am in ubuntu 10.04  i know how to cd to my downloads folder just dont know the comand after that
[22:19] <visual1ce> dcite and acicula: you would not believe the strange behaviour my last two drives were exhibiting - known as time-warp or groundhog day: you edit/create/delete a file and after a cold start you find those changes have not been persisted
[22:20] <visual1ce> blew my mind man
[22:20] <mymeatinyourseat> hey all
[22:20] <Dcite> woodyjlw: Try "sh Planeshift-v0.5.6-x86.bin" at where you saved the file
[22:20] <visual1ce> you can search for ssd time-warp OR groundhog day
[22:20] <spaceturtle> Dcite: I jsut checked and all www-data are user and group ID 33
[22:20] <acicula> visual1ce: that is what you would expect if you cant write anymore
[22:20] <Dcite> spaceturtle: In that case.. no idea.. consider sshfs =P
[22:21] <visual1ce> but after a reboot (not a cold restart) the files are there/changed/removed as you wold expect
[22:21] <nanalalanana> n
[22:21] <woodyjlw> Dcite,  sh: Can't open Planeshift-v0.5.6-x86.bin
[22:21] <visual1ce> also, if there is no space to write how can it write in the first place? i tried small files, large files...
[22:21] <acicula> visual1ce: dunno then, some of the newer ssd's can operate pretty independent
[22:21] <oneliner> are there any gui ssh tools around? or else how do i do ssh file transfers from the command line?
[22:21] <visual1ce> very weird
[22:22] <Dcite> woodyjlw: Are you doing this where you SAVED the .bin ?
[22:22] <acicula> visual1ce: some ssds have an internal memory buffer
[22:22] <cybrhuman> oneliner: scp is a good start :)
[22:22] <visual1ce> some of the files were gigabytes
[22:22] <woodyjlw> Dcite, yes I cd to my downloads folder then gave the command
[22:22] <jessicaBR> forevertheuni, I just installed as you said, and also tried to startx, and it seems it worked, but it didnt show me the login window... Instead of that, it opened a terminal window, but now I can see the mouse
[22:22] <forevertheuni> isso é bom
[22:22] <Dcite> woodyjlw: Okay. please do a "ls Plane"<hit tab> tell me if anything comes up
[22:23] <acicula> visual1ce: then idk
[22:23] <hosein> Dcite: Can you help me installing Wifi driver on my dell5010?
[22:23] <cybrhuman> oneliner: if you are going to transfer directories with many small files it is kind of ineffective. scp is a commandline tool.
[22:23] <Dcite> hosein: I don't know which wifi card/chip your dell has which will make it difficult
[22:23] <visual1ce> check this link out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604077
[22:23] <visual1ce> other ppl with the same issue
[22:24] <Dcite> hosein: If it's a known card.. it should do it automatically OR, additional drivers will pop up asking for permission to install
[22:24] <woodyjlw> Dcite, nothing happens
[22:24] <visual1ce> some say they formatted but i suspect they didn't do a full format
[22:24] <hosein> Dcite: it is:dw1501 wireless-n wlan half-Mini card
[22:24] <Dcite> woodyjlw: do an "ls" in that download folder, do you SEE the planeshift .bin file?
[22:24] <MarcelC> I cannot change the GDM login screen, anyone know;s why? The ' INSTALL ' button is grey http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/5396/screenshotwr.png
[22:24] <visual1ce> when i formatted the drive formatted but the next cold start was groundhog day
[22:25] <woodyjlw> Dcite, just doing ls showed it
[22:26] <visual1ce> very strange... the only thing that makes sense is TRIM
[22:26] <swatto> Hello all, how do i get xchat-GNOME to start minimized everytime i boot my system?
[22:27] <Dcite> woodyjlw: Try use "sh Pla" and hit tab for filename completion?
[22:27] <lasha> hey guys, does anyone know how to get the pdf which I can actually view online but download is not free, it has print option but it also isn't for free
[22:27] <seba_> how I can check access the shared libs of program? When I try ldd nameprogram I get list of shared lib
[22:28] <Dcite> hosein: Are you sure you don't see a card like icon to the left of your clock? It should offer to install the broadcom-sta drivers.
[22:28] <jakearmitage> hi
[22:28] <bstanish> woodyjlw: in the same directory as the file you want to run type 'chmod +x Pla<tab>' then type './Pla<tab>'
[22:28] <woodyjlw> Dcite, hmm with ls it and tab it will but with sh and tab it dose nothing
[22:28] <lolmatic> hi
[22:29] <lolmatic> is snort built with the prelude option by default?
[22:29] <Dcite> lasha: That depends on how this 'viewer' works.. if you can't get to the file.. then it doesn't seem viable
[22:29] <Dcite> woodyjlw: can't replace the ls with sh after you suceed?
[22:29] <lasha> Dcite: this is the link http://www.scribd.com/doc/43321500/Traumatic-Stress-by-Van-Der-Kolk#open_download
[22:29] <Dcite> lasha: I don't know how to download fro scribd sorry x.x
[22:30] <lasha> Dcite: hmm ok no problem :)
[22:30] <woodyjlw> bstanish, that worked
[22:31] <bstanish> woodyjlw: yay
[22:31] <Dcite> Time to go *poof* *detaches*
[22:32] <woodyjlw> bstanish, but now ls or sh dont work lol
[22:32] <rogerio> what's the ubuntu license? GPL? LGPL? other, what?
[22:32] <seba_> i think about using idconfig but I don't know
[22:33] <woodyjlw> PlaneShift-v0.5.6-x86.bin: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[22:33] <acicula> visual1ce: with the FDE encryption did you intialize the disk with full random data?
[22:33] <bstanish> woodyjlw: just try doing an ls without anything after it...does that show anything?
[22:33] <woodyjlw> bstanish, yes it shows up that way but not any other way
[22:33] <swatto> Anyone know why none of my startup programs will run? They run in the terminal but when I add them as a command to my startup programs they just dont run when my system boots
[22:34] <visual1ce> acicula, i don't think so
[22:34] <visual1ce> i installed maverick a number of times though
[22:34] <woodyjlw> bstanish, it shows up in bold grean letters
[22:34] <visual1ce> <- noobie
[22:34] <woodyjlw> bstanish, green
[22:34] <royceremer> woodyjlw: acicula yes, but ls takes arguments of folder paths as well $man ls
[22:34] <acicula> visual1ce: because from what im reading with FDE trim is kind of superflous as no sector is ever marked as free, so trim is moot and wear levelling not possible
[22:35] <visual1ce> yes - that's what i've been reading too although it doesn't seem to have made as much sense to me as it does to you
[22:36] <lolmatic> how to search in vi?
[22:36] <visual1ce> but do you think that could cause the drive to freak out in this manner?
[22:36] <iceroot> lolmatic: /searchstring
[22:36] <ZykoticK9> lolmatic, / foo
[22:36] <acicula> visual1ce: yes totally
[22:36] <bstanish> instead of sh try running it with the ./ in front of the name of the file
[22:36] <ZykoticK9> lolmatic, use ? to search backwards
[22:36] <acicula> visual1ce: try using a filebased system like ecryptfs, that still has write amplication, but shouldnt be as bad as FDE
[22:36] <visual1ce> well no encryption for me then - at least not for the time being
[22:37] <bstanish> woodyjlw:instead of sh try running it with the ./ in front of the name of the file
[22:37] <acicula> or find an SSD that supports hardware based encryption, but dont think there are any well researched or affordable solutions for that yet
[22:37] <hosein> Dcite: When I can not connect,how it want to install?! is it a local driver?
[22:37] <acicula> *openly researched
[22:37] <yoyoyo> question, - in Ubuntu is there a way to see the raw output of a serial input (connected via USB)
[22:38] <yoyoyo> (sorry if it's a trivial question)
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> yoyoyo: sure, use watch or cat on the raw device
[22:38] <visual1ce> for now im not going to use encryption... like i said ill put up a post and monitor it... also is there someone i can email like a developer or maintainer to find out if 2.6.38 does indeed support TRIM and FDE?
[22:38] <acicula> visual1ce: from what i can tell TRIM support has been in for a long time
[22:38] <visual1ce> with FDE?
[22:38] <yoyoyo> @ActionParsnip - thanks, I'll give that a go now
[22:38] <vale> hey there, i've got some issues with touchpad and built in speakers with ubuntu 10.10
[22:39] <Juest> hi, can ubuntu have kde?
[22:39] <acicula> visual1ce: as of 2.6.33
[22:39] <woodyjlw> bstanish, http://pastebin.com/47zVwmCp   so you can see what im doing?
[22:39] <acicula> visual1ce: for FDE idk
[22:39] <mickster04> Juest: kubuntu
[22:39] <Juest> or window managers other than metacity?
[22:39] <Juest> oh,
[22:39] <ZykoticK9> Juest, of course - you can install kubuntu-desktop (or similar) to install the KDE packages included with Kubuntu on an ubuntu system
[22:40] <Juest> :)
[22:40] <vale> sometimes the touchpad won't work properly or totally (right now), and sometimes built in speakers won't play any sound
[22:40] <yoyoyo> @member:ActionParsnip I'm getting a permission denied message even when I auth with root
[22:40] <Juest> and windows managers?
[22:40] <acicula> visual1ce: the problem is that the technologies arent very compatible
[22:40] <Juest> how to i root the system properly?
[22:40] <vale> I've got an Olivetti Olibook s1500
[22:40] <Juest> do*
[22:40] <ZykoticK9> Juest, use sudo
[22:40] <yoyoyo> @Juest:  sudo -s (that will change you to the root user)
[22:40] <Juest> and i am running it in VBox VM
[22:40] <visual1ce> there is this long mailing list discussion about implementing trim with dm-crypt and how this could create security holes
[22:40] <acicula> visual1ce: yes
[22:41] <visual1ce> so i guess they aren't very compatible
[22:41] <Juest> and i just want to root the system, not su/sudo
[22:41] <dostoj> how can i remove mandatory setting from a key in config editor?
[22:41] <Juest> i mean, login with root
[22:41] <Juest> even yet, why i o
[22:41] <Juest> why i lost ttys?
[22:41] <Juest> because i don't see any shell
[22:42] <bstanish> woodyjlw: having a look now
[22:42] <Galvatron> Juest: Don't do any root logins. It will compromise security and might mess the permissions of your personal files/configs.
[22:42] <dostoj> also: why doent changes get applied when i start gconf-editor with sudo and make changes
[22:42] <Nimii> hey, i cant get mysql working. no metter what i do.
[22:42] <Nimii> any one can help?
[22:42] <Galvatron> Juest: Best use gksu/kdesu for graphical apps and sudo for terminal ones.
[22:42] <Juest> why not, galavarton, i just want to root it
[22:42] <Nimii> also i have no /etc/init.d/mysql
[22:43] <Juest> ah
[22:43] <Nimii> it just wont work.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Juest: its not supported nor advise
[22:43] <Juest> and i lost ttys
[22:43] <Galvatron> Juest: You can do all the rootstuff with just those
[22:43] <acicula> visual1ce: basicaly, the encryption smears out small changes into many changes in many places, which is bad. Also to unmark sectors so they can be used requires the encryption system to say oh this data looks encrypted, but its just junk data, hence leaking information, etc.
[22:43] <visual1ce> how can i "align" my ssd?
[22:43] <meganerd> Juest: I think you are confused, root is there, you just do not need it
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Juest: use sudo and you'll be fine (and gksudo for gui apps)
[22:43] <BlipInTheData_> First day in Ubuntu, wow it's sexy.
[22:43] <Juest> the f1 to f6 is black
[22:43] <visual1ce> acicula: makes sense
[22:44] <Juest> ok, but, i prefer not to do su everytime, instead i want to use the user itself
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> BlipInTheData_: you can theme it as you desire, you can even make it look like xp, vista, win7 or macos if you like
[22:44] <visual1ce> so basically a programme could mimic a TRIM programme and make it easier to unencrypt data
[22:44] <acicula> visual1ce: which is why ecryptfs isnt as bad, only a portion of data is encrypted and only the same space allocated as the file itself is used. so you can trim and wear level. only price is still that making a change in an encrypted file means making many changes to the actual file on the disk
[22:44] <Juest> i could do it on ex-Mandrake
[22:45] <BlipInTheData_> ActionParsnip: Nooohoo, I like it like this, no more nightmare ms software.
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | jJuest
[22:45] <Juest> :(
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> BlipInTheData_: just showing it is flexible
[22:45] <BlipInTheData_> :)
[22:45] <Galvatron> Juest: It's a bad habit, Microsoft is learning it's users
[22:45] <Juest> !root
[22:45] <acicula> visual1ce: supposedly yeah
[22:45] <BlipInTheData_> I had no idea it could be so easy to install new software :P
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> Juest: trust me, its a better choice to avoid root, makes things more secure
[22:45] <wjd86> whats the best command to untar packaged group while keeping it in my ownership
[22:45] <bstanish> woodyjlw: I just downloaded and ran Planeshift... and I had no issues...from the pastebin it looks like there is problem with the installer script
[22:45] <tomaszjk> witajcie
[22:46] <tomaszjk> You welcome
[22:46] <wjd86> tar -xywz <file name> ?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> wjd86: it will be owned by you as far as I know, I alsways use unp
[22:46] <Galvatron> Juest: Working on a root account is a VERY bad and dangerous idea
[22:46] <Juest> ok, i just prefer to have full control of the system by logging in with root (uid 0)
[22:46] <wjd86> k
[22:46] <wjd86> thanks actionparsnip and hey again
[22:46] <Juest> i just understand how dangerous is it
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> wjd86: howdy
[22:46] <Galvatron> tomaszjk: Witamy... erm... Welcome!
[22:46] <wjd86> i got that server up :D
[22:46] <mymeatinyourseat> in the synaptic package manager, I checked the gnome thingie and marked it for installation and when it tried getting all it's dependencies, I got an error saying.. "the following packages have unresolvable dependencies. make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the repositories." and then in the white box area, it said.. "gnome:  depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> Juest: using sudo and gksudo gives you full access
[22:47] <Juest> !noroot
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> wjd86: sweet
[22:47] <woodyjlw> bstanish, i was installing runes of magic with wine same time I was downloading planeshift.   could that caused a problem?
[22:47] <Juest> i d' rather log in with root instead of suing
[22:47] <ZykoticK9> mymeatinyourseat, don't try to install the "gnome" package in Ubuntu (it's a Debian hold-over of sorts) use ubuntu-destkop (or similar) instead
[22:47] <woodyjlw> Dcite, thanks for helping me by the way...
[22:48] <Juest> !wfm
[22:48] <bstanish> woodyjlw: Try downloading it again from another mirror and doing the chmod +x (that will change the permissions so it will run) and then running it with ./Plan<tab>
[22:48] <mymeatinyourseat> thanks, zyk
[22:48] <Guest15590> ok, i am trying to find out where i can manage the settings for my keyrings, i have looked in the forum and cant seem to find anything useful, can anyone help?
[22:48] <woodyjlw> bstanish,  thanks I will try that
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> Juest: its not supported or advised, the links given by ubottu will show why its REALLY bad as well as how if you insist, it's a seriously BAD idea
[22:48] <bstanish> woodyjlw: It shouldn't have caused a problem, but try installing it again, if that doesn't work try re downloading it
[22:48] <Juest> guest15590: keyboard settings?
[22:49] <mymeatinyourseat> now, can someone please give me a channel name for a cheerleader chat room
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> Juest: I sugest you look into why it is how it is and why its a good idea, then review your opinion
[22:49] <wjd86> actionsnip, im running it on my server and i dont have unp, would have to reconfigure my firewall do you by chance know the tar commands to unpack it?
[22:49] <acicula> Privilege separation, we use it
[22:50] <Juest> ok, i already did it, just want to use root instead of a normal account
[22:50] <mickster04> !ot | mymeatinyourseat
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> wjd86: tar zxvf filename
[22:50] <wjd86> thanks
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> wjd86: I suggest you install unp, makes life easy :)
[22:50] <Guest15590> Juest, i dont see anything in the keyboard settings for that
[22:51] <seba_> how I can check available shared lib of program? for example ldd grep
[22:52] <wjd86> hmm yea, im not sure ill be able to put this program onto my server, getting errors
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> wjd86: i see
[22:53] <Superstar> Does anyone recommend Ubuntu 11.04?
[22:53] <wjd86> http://pastebin.com/11KKZDs1
[22:53] <mickster04> !natty | Superstar
[22:53] <mymeatinyourseat> howcome in my updates thingie.. in the bottom-left corner, the "settings" thing is greyed out and is unclickable
[22:53] <vacho> can I install ubuntu 11.04 from USB stick??
[22:53] <mickster04> wjd86: it has a deb file dude
[22:54] <mickster04> !natty | vacho
[22:54] <Superstar> mickster04: yes the beta. I want to know if any one recommends it
[22:54] <wjd86> ah?
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> vacho: yes
[22:54] <mickster04> wjd86: I wrote a script for it a while ago that would also email me when the ip changed..don'
[22:54] <vacho> ActionParsnip: how?
[22:54] <mickster04> t have it to hand though
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> Superstar: natty is offtopic here
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> vacho: same as any of the previous releases are installed via usb
[22:54] <wjd86> not sure what i need to do at this point, im very much noob
[22:55] <vacho> can I upgrade beta to full once its out?
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> vacho: yes it will seamlessly upgrade
[22:56] <seba_> how I can check available shared lib of program? for example ldd grep
[22:56] <vanguard> is there some way to color folders in nautilus like you can on Mac OS X?
[22:56] <[snake]> Porn addiction sucks, is there a free site/web page blocker with an already selected list of bad sites available in repos?
[22:56] <acicula> ldd <binar> | grep <libraryname>
[22:56] <vanguard> [snake]: try to edit your /etc/hosts file with your worst addictions :)
[22:57] <Superstar> Just read the topic line to go to #ubuntu+1
[22:57] <wjd86> mickster04 im lost :/
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: you can grab an icon theme like macos from www.gnome-look.org
[22:57] <recurse_> chmod
[22:58] <vacho> I want to download ubuntu 11.04 beta for desktop...what version should I chose on the download page?
[22:58] <mymeatinyourseat> howcome in my updates thingie.. in the bottom-left corner, the "settings" thing is greyed out and is unclickable
[22:58] <acicula> vacho: try #ubuntu+1
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> vacho: ask in #ubuntu+1
[22:58] <vanguard> ActionParsnip: that does not sound like a good solution
[22:58] <iceroot> vacho: if you dont know which version you need i dont think its a good idea to use a beta
[22:58] <[snake]> vanguard, the reason I mentioned my problem specifically is because then you could realize that I am not going to be able to block them all (huge internet), instead of something like homeworkanswers.com
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: why not?
[22:59] <mymeatinyourseat> howcome in my updates thingie.. in the bottom-left corner, the "settings" thing is greyed out and is unclickable
[22:59] <vanguard> ActionParsnip: I do not want a Mac OS X theme on my computer, I am glad to be rid of OS X.
[22:59] <recurse_> hi all - have been searching all over the web to try to find the answer to this, but am still stuck. I have an issue with apache on 10.10 where I add a umask 022 to the envvars, but it has no effect. I've seen some others post with this issue, but haven't been able to find a solution
[22:59] <vanguard> [snake]: hmm, there are some child filters I think, but I do not know any by name.
[23:01] <acicula> recurse_: files created with the wrong permissions?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: if you right click a folder and hit properties then click the folder icon,  you can change the icon to what you want
[23:01] <[snake]> vanguard, hey thanks anyway, i gtg, peace out.
[23:01] <vacho> ActionParsnip: dude...just tell me where to get it
[23:01] <recurse_> acicula: yes, they're created with rw - -
[23:01] <mymeatinyourseat> vanguard, try an MS OS. you'll love the shit out of it
[23:01] <acicula> recurse_: where are you setting your ENV variable
[23:02] <vanguard> ActionParsnip: sure, but I would need icons to do this
[23:02] <recurse_> acicula: at the end of /etc/apache2/envvars
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> vacho: gnome-look.org will have them
[23:02] <IdleOne> mymeatinyourseat: please mind your language
[23:02] <vanguard> mymeatinyourseat: are you talking about Windows?
[23:02] <wjd86> mickster04: got a minute?
[23:02] <recurse_> acicula: I just have one line: "umask 022"
[23:03] <Juest> !root
[23:03] <mymeatinyourseat> vanguard, if I was to say "yes", I'd probably get booted
[23:04] <acicula> recurse_: is that how apache expects umask to be set?
[23:05] <mymeatinyourseat> ubottu, what does sudo satnd for?? is it like.. super user...??
[23:05] <vanguard> mymeatinyourseat: well, why would you recoment windows? Seriously, I need make, python, wget and bash especially as everyone needs air :)
[23:05] <recurse_> acicula: that's what I've read is the suggested solution. Oddly, 10.04 didn't have this problem - only happened after I upgraded to 10.10
[23:05] <acicula> recurse_: and are you sure the script that creates the files does not change them?
[23:06] <recurse_> acicula: yes, this all worked fine until upgrading to 10.10, now created files have permissions that are too restrictive and www_data can't read them
[23:06] <vacho> how do I create a usb boot install from mac damnit
[23:06] <cybrhuman> vanguard: but ... but , aren't you dependent on the OS that seems to think shutdown is a hint to spend a quarter of an hour upgrading the system?
[23:06] <acicula> recurse_: the user did not change?
[23:07] <wjd86> http://pastebin.com/uZbv1t7p
[23:07] <wjd86> anyone care to tell me what i need to do? :P
[23:07] <cybrhuman> wjd86: kill it with FIRE!!
[23:07] <acicula> wjd86: read the error, what does it say
[23:07] <mymeatinyourseat> vanguard, ms has all the fresh air u need. xunnil is just like quicksand. the more u try n get yourself out of trouble, the deeper and deeper u sink
[23:08] <recurse_> acicula: no, the user is the same, just the permissions changed. I assume something changed with 10.10 as a security enhancement, but now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get rw- r - r permissions back
[23:08] <vanguard> cybrhuman: I dig that Ubuntu shuts down in under five secons :)
[23:08] <wjd86> im trying man :/
[23:08] <cybrhuman> wjd86: if you read the error says that some program is missing, which one is that?
[23:08] <acicula> recurse_: err maybe apparmor is affecting it?
[23:08] <wjd86> gcc?
[23:08] <bastidrazor> wjd86: type 'which gcc'  does it return anything?
[23:09] <cybrhuman> wjd86: correct :) . Install build-essential I think
[23:09] <woodyjlw> Dcite, lol all that time I was not useing cap P for planeshift was only reason why....ill pay better attention next time
[23:09] <vacho> HOW DO I RUN SAFE MODE WITH UBUNTU
[23:09] <visual1ce> so anybody know anything about partition alignment with ssds?
[23:09] <recurse_> acicula: oh? interesting, I don't know anything about apparmor, I'll investigate, thanks!
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> !caps | vacho
[23:10] <vacho> ubottu: tell me
[23:10] <mymeatinyourseat> boy, that ubottu's on the ball
[23:10] <cybrhuman> vacho: just start it, it is pretty safe anyhow
[23:10] <vacho> cybrhuman: just tell me man
[23:10] <Superstar> What web browser is everyone using?
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> vacho: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then choose safemode x from there
[23:10] <cybrhuman> vacho: what do you mean by safe mode?
[23:10] <vacho> it does not load my graphics drivers so everything is black
[23:10] <itaylor57> Superstar: chromium daily build
[23:10] <Kyle__> Superstar: HTML compliant ones.
[23:10] <acicula> wjd86: you can just install the noip2 package using the package manager and avoid compiling it
[23:11] <vanguard> It is always a miracle, how people rather use the bot to denounce somebody instead of answering the actual question :-/
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> vacho: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[23:11] <wjd86> kk theres a problem though
[23:11] <mymeatinyourseat> ActionParsnip, that's kind of like an easter egg. cool. didn't know that. u got any other cool like tricks u can do with linnux or ubuntu??
[23:11] <cybrhuman> vacho: ok. is that a rather new laptop with a nvidia card which blanked after you isntalled the drivers?
[23:11] <wjd86> and im not sure how to allow exceptions
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: if its common it saves us writing the same stuff over and over and over
[23:12] <wjd86> getting a fialure to fetch, this is my server im installing it on...
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> mymeatinyourseat: what easter eg do you mean?
[23:12] <wjd86> im sure that my firewall is blocking it or something along those lines
[23:12] <cybrhuman> ActionParsnip: there is a safe mode? news to me.
[23:12] <acicula> cybrhuman: there is the rescue mode that boots only minimal stuff
[23:13] <acicula> wjd86: check your repositories i guess
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> cybrhuman: its safe x mode, uses vesa driver and can help stuff
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> mymeatinyourseat: http://vdimic.wordpress.com/2010/12/08/ubuntu-easter-eggs/
[23:13] <cybrhuman> acicula: ok, ty.
[23:13] <cybrhuman> ActionParsnip: useful to know :)
[23:14] <mickster04> !deb
[23:15] <vanguard> You can set up single click in dolphin too, you know …
[23:15] <vanguard> Or double click, if you like …
[23:16] <mymeatinyourseat> ActionParsnip, ty
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> mymeatinyourseat: np man, fun stuff :)
[23:17] <mero__1> hey
[23:18] <Habstinat> There are some games that won't let me Alt-Tab out of them. Is there a more "forced" method of window switching available?
[23:18] <acicula> ctrl alt f1
[23:19] <recurse_> acicula: looks like there is no apparmor profile set up for apache by default in 10.10, so I don't think that's the issue, thanks for the suggestion though
[23:19] <acicula> but that gives a console
[23:19] <swatto> My startup applications are not loading at all :( any ideas please anyone?
[23:19] <Manhose> Use debian instead
[23:20] <acicula> recurse what if you change the umask do the permissions change, or are they not changed at all
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> swatto: do you mean the ones in system ->prefs -> startup?
[23:20] <Juest> use root account: http://blog.sudobits.com/2010/10/19/how-to-login-as-root-in-ubuntu-10-10/
[23:20] <djm62> I've made a script which 1. Disables NetworkManager 2. runs madwimax 3. enables NetworkManager (when madwimax quits because I unplug the dongle).  How can I get this to run when I plug in the wimax dongle (ideally) or place an icon to start it on the unity launcher (as a minimum)?  I think this is a udev question... 11.04 netbook
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> Juest: don't bother next time
[23:21] <Juest> ok bye
[23:21] <swatto> ActionParsnip: yep thats the ones, well the built in ones are running as far as I can see - i get NetworkManager and all that but my defined ones don't run.  I have one for xchat which is just: xchat in the command box but it doesnt seem to want to run
[23:21] <IdleOne> Juest: Please don't recommend enabling root account.
[23:21] <recurse_> acicula: no, there is no change at all. It is as if the umask is being completely ignored by apache. Others are having this issue as well, but no solutions yet.
[23:21] <Juest> k
[23:21] <Juest> bye then
[23:21] <IdleOne> later
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> swatto: how did you add the item?
[23:21] <shcherbak> Habstinat: Alt-F9 ?
[23:22] <acicula> recurse_: is config file read by apache or by the script that starts apache?
[23:22] <acicula> ie is it apache specific or not
[23:22] <acicula> what if you set the umask in the starter script just before apache is started
[23:22] <recurse_> my understanding is that it is read by the startup script, though I will check that script and verify
[23:23] <swatto> ActionParsnip: I just clicked Add, typed a name for the item, in command i put: xchat and pressed Add
[23:23] <Habstinat> shcherbak: Just tried it... Nope. Ctrl-Alt-Arrow Key doesn't work either.
[23:23] <jorgeu> what filesystem installs ubuntu by default on / ?
[23:24] <jorgeu> ext4?
[23:24] <jorgeu> ext3?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> swatto: try removing the item, then drag the item from the applications menu to the startup items window
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> jorgeu: ext4
[23:24] <Habstinat> shcherbak: The game is in a window, but it captures my mouse. This actually happens with several of them.
[23:24] <UbuntuAlex> Does anybody know how to fix the linux Boot ERROR: No Configuration file found.
[23:24] <jorgeu> ActionParsnip: any idea from wich version?
[23:24] <shcherbak> Habstinat: What about running game on second x (on tty8)
[23:25] <Habstinat> shcherbak: How would I go about doing that?
[23:25] <acicula> Habstinat: using wine or is it a native game
[23:25] <UbuntuAlex> Anybody?
[23:26] <swatto> ActionParsnip: doesnt let me drag to there
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> jorgeu: I would imagine stable
[23:26] <vanguard> where can I find that standard icon natutilus uses for folders?
[23:26] <mymeatinyourseat> in the ubuntu terminal, what's the command for shutting down your comp??
[23:26] <dumbi> hi
[23:26] <Habstinat> acicula: They're all native.
[23:26] <jorgeu> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> swatto: just let it go and it will be there
[23:26] <recurse_> acicula: I'll try adding the umask to the apache2 startup script, though others have reported that this doesn't work. I see envvars being set and read in /etc/init.d/apache2
[23:26] <vanguard> mymeatinyourseat: `sudo halt`
[23:26] <shcherbak> Habstinat: Alt-Ctrl-F1-6, login, xinit -- :1 vt8, you should have xterm by then.
[23:26] <vanguard> mymeatinyourseat: `sudo shutdown now`
[23:26] <swatto> ActionParsnip: ahh yes i see, will give that  ago
[23:26] <GOMI> i cant change visual effects ?
[23:26] <vanguard> mymeatinyourseat: on a SuSE `init 0`
[23:26] <GOMI> metacity doesnt work
[23:26] <mymeatinyourseat> vanguard, ty
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> jorgeu: think about the intended audience of ubuntu, you'd want it to be as stable as possible for newcomers to linux
[23:26] <UbuntuAlex> Does anybody know how to fix the linux Boot ERROR: No Configuration file found.
[23:26] <GOMI> i dont have the upper buttons
[23:26] <swatto> brb
[23:27] <acicula> recurse_: umask 022 is not a variable its a shell command right
[23:27] <recurse_> acicula: correct, it is a shell command
[23:27] <Habstinat> shcherbak: And how would I switch back?
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuAlex: boot to livecd and reinstall grub2
[23:27] <acicula> recurse_: so is it just sourcing the variables or executing that script?
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> GOMI: what video chip do you use?
[23:27] <_rut69_> hello
[23:27] <GOMI> nvidia
[23:27] <bobby> hello
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> GOMI: have you installed theproprietary drivers?
[23:28] <GOMI> but this happend during uninstall of compiz i think
[23:28] <jessicaBR> hey, I have my ubuntu back :D But now I'm experiencing another tricky situation, the windows top bars are not being shown when visual effects are not deactivated...  Any idea of what might be the problem? I've just read some forums, but with no success :-/
[23:28] <GOMI> yes have it installed
[23:28] <dumbi> can a tell me what is ubuntu actually ?
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> GOMI: please prefix lines to me with my nick, you can use tab to autocomplete
[23:28] <bobby> anyone managed to get libmp3lame to install on ubuntu 9.10?
[23:28] <_rut69_> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[23:28] <GOMI> ActionParsnip, oke
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> dumbi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> GOMI: thanks
[23:29] <acicula> bobby: isnt the lame encoder available in a repository?
[23:29] <shcherbak> Habstinat: Alt-Ctrl-F7 (back in gnome) Atl-ctrl-F8 (game)
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> GOMI: ok and you have no window decorators?
[23:29] <dumbi> very many thanks
[23:29] <bobby> acicula: unfortunately no
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> GOMI: the bits on the top of the windows with close, minimize etc
[23:29] <GOMI> ActionParsnip,  yes the bits on the top i dont have that
[23:29] <acicula> bobby: not even for newer ubuntu versions?
[23:30] <acicula> bobby: or PPA archives on launchpad.net
[23:30] <bobby> it's available at medibuntu, but i can not get it to install, broken dependency issues
[23:30] <recurse_> acicula: unfortunately adding umask 022 to the beginning of the /etc/init.d/apache2 script did not work, but it was a great suggestion.
[23:30] <Ben64> bobby: you should upgrade to a more recent version of ubuntu
[23:30] <swatto> ActionParsnip: didn't work :(
[23:31] <bobby> Ben64: yea im starting to think that
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> swatto: is xchat in the startup apps?
[23:31] <bobishh> hi there
[23:31] <Ben64> 9.10 is really old
[23:31] <bobby> hows the upgrade process? pretty seamless?
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: still supported for 15 days more though...
[23:31] <Guest40912> can anyone help with a problem i am having with avastAV
[23:31] <Ben64> 15 days is not very long
[23:31] <bobishh> got a small question 'bout kernel compiling) can anybody help ?)
[23:31] <swatto> ActionParsnip: I took the old entry out that I created and Added a new one doing the drag and drop from Applications
[23:32] <Guest40912> once i installed it, it would not authenticate when i tried to enter key, so i just wanted to uninstall, but i cant seem to dothat
[23:32] <bobby> what happens when its not supported anymore?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> swatto: if you run:   cd ~/.config/autostart   is there an xchat item there?
[23:32] <DogMatix> Can I add a folder shortcut to the Unity Launcher? I have a network drive and I'd like to add a link to it it to the launcher.
[23:32] <Ben64> bobby: you can't get packages anymore
[23:32] <liam> anyone know of an easy to set up mail server that I can use to send/receive mail locally on my computer to test a web app?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> bobby: no more support here and no more updates
[23:32] <bobby> so no security updates etc?
[23:32] <Ben64> right
[23:32] <Guest40912> i removed the package where i downloaded it, but it still shows under applications and accessories, i cant find it anywhere to uninstall it though
[23:32] <peeps> can someone please tell me the ubuntu one server name that is used for tomboy synchronization?  I'm not at my ubuntu box right now, trying to sync a windows machine to my account
[23:32] <Ben64> 9.10 is from October 2009... really old
[23:32] <bobby> i guess i better upgrade, is it at all prone to issues, the upgrade process?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> liam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer
[23:32] <tim> hi ubuntu, I made a woopsy. my root partition is too small, and my home partition, which could be a lot smaller, is taking up the rest of the drive. any suggestions for a commandline tool for moving these partitions around?
[23:33] <tim> easy if possible :)
[23:33] <sgerbino> does anyone know about development releases and partial upgrades? Is it normal that my update-manager wants to do a partial upgrade after running update-manager -d and install a dev branch?
[23:33] <Ben64> bobby: i haven't had a problem upgrading yet
[23:33] <swatto> ActionParsnip: yep
[23:33] <tripelb> Hi, how to I find my processor speed please.
[23:33] <tripelb> 10.04
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: still has all the updates the other releases have so its packages are just as new as Maverick
[23:33] <swatto> Actionparsnip: xchat-gnome.desktop
[23:33] <bobby> what should i upgrade to?
[23:33] <Ben64> tripelb: "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i ghz"
[23:33] <tim> look in /proc/cpuinfo
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> swatto: is it a different colour to the others at all?
[23:33] <tripelb> Ben64, tim thanks.
[23:33] <Guest40912> no tips?
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> bobby: Lucid
[23:33] <Ben64> bobby: 10.04, 10.10, or 11.04
[23:34] <Habstinat> shcherbak: It worked. Thanks a lot.
[23:34] <tripelb> copies into file
[23:34] <swatto> Actionparsnip: not from what i can see in terminal, will look in gui
[23:34] <tim> Guest40912: have you looked in the package manager
[23:34] <genii-around> tripelb: You can also do: sudo lshw -C cpu
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> Guest40912: use software centre
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> swatto: I was on about cli
[23:34] <bobishh> guys, does anybody know how to "fix register constraints" ? got an error when compiling <IP_ADDRESS> kernel patched with rtai
[23:35] <liam> ActionParsnip: Do you know if it is possible to use postfix/dovecot with a catchall email address that will receive email sent to the server even if the address the email is sent to doesn't exist as an account on the server?
[23:35] <Guest40912> yeah, none of the package managers can find it, it installed with software center but cant locate it in there or synaptic, i even tried ubuntu tweak to see if i could locate something
[23:35] <swatto> Actionparsnip: ahh ok, no it isnt
[23:35] <tripelb> genii-around, yeah, that's territory I have been in before. ty
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> swatto: try:  rm ~/.config/autostart/xchat-gnome.desktop; ln -s /usr/share/applications/xchat-gnome.desktop ~/.config/autostart/xchat-gnome.desktop        may work
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> liam: no idea, never ran an email server
[23:36] <arand> Guest40912: So it was an installer rather than a package?
[23:36] <tim> Guest40912: did you install it throug the package manager?
[23:36] <tim> *software centre
[23:36] <liam> it is possible to use postfix/dovecot with a catchall email address that will receive email sent to the server even if the address the email is sent to doesn't exist as an account on the server?
[23:36] <Guest40912> well, i downloaded from the website through my browser, and i clicked on the download in the browser and it opened software center to install
[23:36] <Ben64> liam: probably
[23:37] <swatto> ActionParsnip: ok done, brb :)
[23:37] <tim> Guest40912: it definitely opened the package manager?
[23:37] <Guest40912> yes, it opened software center
[23:37] <tim> Guest40912: do the icons in your menu still work?
[23:38] <Guest40912> well, kinda, it still wants me to authenticate with a key though, which didnt work before
[23:38] <wjd86> W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2  Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
[23:38] <Guest40912> so yeah, the icon is functional but not the program
[23:38] <Ben64> wjd86: fix your dns
[23:38] <tim> Guest40912: the instructions of what to remove on uninstall are part of the package, i.e. from the people who's website it is
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> wjd86: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/    there is no i18n folder there
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: its not dns
[23:39] <kais58> is there a way to lock then menu bar in unity?
[23:39] <tim> Guest40912: if they didn't make it clean up after itself, you'd have to remove the stuff it left manually
[23:39] <Ben64> ActionParsnip: Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: click the link I posted
[23:39] <Guest40912> tim, thats what i cant seem to find, i search the system and nothing with avast shows up
[23:39] <blix> I'm trying to write to sysctl.d
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> wjd86: do you get web access ok?
[23:39] <swatto> ActionParsnip: that worked then :) what was my issue?
[23:39] <blix> but unable to
[23:39] <blix> any ideas?
[23:39] <rcconf> !countdown
[23:39] <Ben64> ActionParsnip: yeah but that error is a dns error
