[04:56] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Run "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" to start fdisk, it should give you some warnings that there is no disklabel yet, that's expected.
[04:56] <Proxima|Centauri> yeah, I read for server here:  Ubuntu Server on Amazon's Elastic Computing (EC2) cloud allows you to build on-demand virtual systems on almost any scale with minimal in-house hardware requirements. Amazon EC2 fits perfectly with Ubuntu Server Edition's modularity, virtualisation capabilities, range of applications and optimised performance.
[04:56] <DasEi> Starminn: surface is same in default install, for headless you must use alternate installer (terminal only, expert install mode)
[04:57] <Proxima|Centauri> This is what I want
[04:57] <tristanc> kothaguy_ubuntu, uname -a
[04:57] <maukarus> joadri, try it with that wire
[04:57] <joadri> But remenber... The PC is connected with a wire and doesnt connecto to fb neither
[04:57] <Starminn> DasEi: Ah.
[04:57] <maukarus> ok
[04:57] <joadri> I'll connect the wire if you want me to
[04:57] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: "Unable to open /dev/sdb"
[04:57] <maukarus> but it should be given a new ip..
[04:58] <joadri> ok... Let me get the wire
[04:58] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[04:58] <maukarus> if its not too much trouble xD
[04:58] <Joe___> my apologies. i'll brb
[04:59] <DasEi> maukarus: , joadri: ifconfig shows connection info
[04:59] <maukarus> maybe too much..
[05:00] <maukarus> but it didnt detect or use devices..both laptops can't connect to facebook, but net is fine otherwise
[05:00] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/sEBcG7rU
[05:00] <DasEi> joadri: you can't call http://www.facebook.com in browser ?
[05:01] <maukarus> no pc's @home could connect..joadri's isssue
[05:01] <DasEi> maukarus: so you are the FB fan then, ah
[05:01] <maukarus> uh no... not right now..
[05:02] <maukarus> i check on it, but dont browse or post at this time xD
[05:03] <Gibss37> Jordan_U:  Hi now i am getting an error that "No root file system is defined.........."
[05:03] <stignatius> can anybody please tell howto configure wifi in ubuntu10.04?
[05:03] <Jordan_U> Gibss37: Don't select manual partitioning.
[05:03] <Jordan_U> Gibss37: Just select the option to use the free space.
[05:03] <maukarus> stignatius, its auti config'd??
[05:04] <DasEi> maukarus: I'm wondered, it was you or joad.. that couldn't get to FB ?
[05:04] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Does /dev/sdb exist?
[05:04] <maukarus> joadri xD
[05:04] <Gibss37> the free space is not as an primary one it is as exteneted one
[05:04] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: How can I determine that?
[05:04] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: ls -l /dev/sdb
[05:05] <DasEi> joadri: you can't call http://www.facebook.com in browser ?
[05:05] <Gibss37> **extended
[05:05] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Yup, I got output for it
[05:05] <Starminn> DasEi: He left 2 minutes ago
[05:05] <maukarus> he may be afk =/
[05:05] <danny_> i need help trying to get games to work properly on ubuntu 10.10 i got half life 2 to work but its laggy and i have to shut it off using system monitor, any ideas on what i can do to fix this?
[05:05] <DasEi> ah, thanks Starminn
[05:05] <stignatius> maukarus, some of the laptops of my school are autoconfigured ,but not all
[05:05] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Did you use sudo? "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb"?
[05:06] <stignatius> maukarus, which are the packages needed for that?
[05:06] <Starminn> DasEi: I'l let you know if I happen to see his /join again tonight
[05:06] <Gibss37> so what i should do now
[05:06] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Yes... except now I'm getting different output
[05:06] <maukarus> stignatius, how strange...maybe some installs were bad, or some got mad @ their laptops xD
[05:07] <AK|lt> "Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table...." and I'm at a new command prompt (presumably fdisk's)
[05:07] <maukarus> stignatius, depends on hardware
[05:07] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Like I said, that error is expected, as you don't currently have a partition table.
[05:07] <maukarus> how do you re-detect hadware?
[05:08] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: type "c" then hit return, then type "u" and hit return.
[05:08] <stignatius> maukarus, which r the basic pkgs that I should look for?
[05:08] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: "DOS Compatibility flag is not set" and "Changing display/entry units to sectors" respectively, for outputs
[05:09] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Good, now "n".
[05:09] <tristanc> when my thinkpad t23 is unplugged, it causes the kernel to panic. any ideas?
[05:09] <maukarus> stignatius, i'm not sure what part of ubuntu specifically controls network hardware..but a normal install does all this on it's own
[05:09] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: And accept the default start and end positions, which should use the entire drive.
[05:09] <joadri> maukarus... I lost you for a second
[05:10] <maukarus> otherwise, you will need to install specific drivers..and supported things will install with it..
[05:10] <joadri> I think I have the router's IP
[05:10] <Starminn> DasEi: joadri is back
[05:10] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: n gives me "Command action: e extended, p primary partition (1-4)"
[05:10] <stignatius> maukarus, thanks, I need some support in this matter
[05:10] <danny_> is anyone available to help me with a gaming issue?
[05:10] <maukarus> joadri..why do u think that?
[05:11] <AK|lt> And I'm not back at fdisk's prompt... I think n is waiting for further input
[05:11] <joadri> Because I did a traceroute and I can see it
[05:11] <Gibss37> free space is like this http://itspriyank.com/Capture.PNG
[05:11] <maukarus> joadri, is it all o.o.o.o??
[05:11] <joadri> no
[05:12] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: p
[05:12] <joadri> It's almost the same as the IP address for the PC, but 1.1 at the end
[05:12] <jmwpc> if I want a cron job to run every monday, I specify * for the day of month, and 1 for the day of week, correct?
[05:12] <maukarus> joadri, should be <IP_ADDRESS> as host and 198.x.x.1 or other number
[05:12] <joadri> In the 198
[05:12] <Gibss37> any help ?
[05:12] <maukarus> joadri, k thats fine
[05:12] <IvanBliminse> I have a quick question about repositories... i want to install docky.. and every website I read says I need to include the repository, but when I go to the software center.. it lets me download and install it.. why do the sites say to include that repository?
[05:12] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Then it wants a partition number... 1?
[05:13] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Yes.
[05:13] <maukarus> joadri,  is the device detected and able to browse?
[05:13] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Okay, I accepted its defaults, now I'm back at fdisk's prompt
[05:13] <joadri>  I am able to get to any website but fb
[05:13] <Joe___> syrinx_: still around?
[05:13] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: "w" to write the changes to disk.
[05:13] <maukarus> wow
[05:14] <joadri> I've been looking for a rule that prevent me from connecting but I can not find anything
[05:14] <maukarus> hmm verizon..
[05:14] <maukarus> so you do have a firewall?
[05:14] <joadri> It's the router, I'm possitive, but I don't know how to address it
[05:14] <Starminn> IvanBliminse: A lot of guides are either a.)outdated or b.)just say it in case it isn't there already.
[05:14] <joadri> I don't think so
[05:14] <maukarus> <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:15] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: lolwut? "WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 0: Success." Then it says the kernel will use the old table until I reboot or run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
[05:15] <maukarus> in the browser itself
[05:15] <maukarus> verizon may not have this feature
[05:15] <IvanBliminse> Starminn: I did check my software sources and the repositories they tell me to include are not there.. am I missing out on updates?
[05:15] <Starminn> IvanBliminse: It's basically the equivalent of people in here, there's the GUI way and the Terminal way. Both will work, but the GUI paths can change depnding on customization, but CLI is fool-proof.
[05:15] <joadri> I look in the browser and I don't see anything like a rule or fw
[05:15] <syrinx_> Joe___: yea im here
[05:15] <maukarus> lol
[05:15] <Starminn> IvanBliminse: The repos may have been merged together into newer ones?
[05:16] <danny_> How do i update my video card drivers without having my old drivers clash?
[05:16] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Try running "sudo partprobe".
[05:16] <joadri> Unable to connect with chrome neither...
[05:16] <maukarus> i'd ask you to reset the router but verizon is weird.. it may be a big headache i have no idea
[05:16] <Joe___> real quick, how do you respond to me like that?
[05:16] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: No output
[05:16] <IvanBliminse> I don't know.. the guides i'm reading are for ubuntu 10.04.... the only repositories i have are the 2 regular ones.. i've never added any
[05:16] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Good, do you now have a /dev/sdb1 ?
[05:16] <Starminn> IvanBliminse: But you said it installed fine, correct?
[05:16] <maukarus> in the end, if all computers are effected..a range of ip's is being blcoked
[05:16] <joadri> I read something about device manager in ubuntu, but I don't know
[05:17] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: ls says so, yes
[05:17] <joadri> I guess if I'm able to get to the router I can check
[05:17] <IvanBliminse> Sarminn, yes i'm just worried that i'll miss out on an update or what not. That and i was curious why every site says to do it ... i figured there must be a reason
[05:17] <syrinx_> Joe___: type the name of the person your speaking too first
[05:17] <DasEi> joadri: call https://vtunnel.comor similar, connect to FB
[05:17] <joadri> Bunt no idea how to get to the rourter
[05:17] <DasEi> or*
[05:17] <syrinx_> highlights it for you to see
[05:17] <maukarus> right, and that would verify that all is ok @home
[05:17] <Joe___> syrinx_: like this?
[05:18] <maukarus> verizon would be happy to walk you thru it if they had people there to do so..
[05:18] <maukarus> xD
[05:18] <syrinx_> Joe___, yep much easier, then you know who your taking to and who your not, haha
[05:18] <joadri> DasEi.... call you mean try to connect to the website?
[05:18] <maukarus> let me try my cell phone
[05:18] <Starminn> IvanBliminse: *shrug*
[05:18] <joadri> Verizon will have me waiting forever
[05:18] <Joe___> syrinx_: thanks for the tip
[05:18] <IvanBliminse> lol okay thanks
[05:18] <DasEi> joadri: yes,  launch in browser (https proxy)
[05:19] <Joe___> syrinx_: anyway, we were discussing initial installation of DE 10.10
[05:19] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Good. You can now use "sudo mkfs.foo /dev/sda1" to create a filesystem in your new partition. Replace "foo" with the filesystem type, like mkfs.ext4.
[05:19] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: K
[05:20] <maukarus> what state are you in xD
[05:20] <syrinx_> Joe___ right so, what exactly is happening?
[05:20] <DasEi> AK|lt: and if it was sdb, stick with it ;-)
[05:20] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: I think it was successful.
[05:20] <maukarus> i got a samsung n150 from verizon xD
[05:20] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Great. You're done.
[05:21] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Thanks a ton :D Maybe I should try getting acquainted with fdisk sometime... and maybe I should just stick to Ubuntu's Startup Disk Creator for creating live USBs for Ubuntu >_>
[05:21] <faryshta> DasEi, same issue with wine1.3.
[05:22] <joadri> Tryed https://vtunnel.comor and I don't get nowhere... Server not found
[05:22] <xiaojunge> 没有吱声到
[05:22] <Joe___> syrinx_: during the initial installation, it freezes and doesn't complete unless i restart my PC a few times. Once I finally get the installation completed, the OS freezes after a few minutes of use
[05:22] <AK|lt> Alright. Now I can get started on my OTHER problem: Total GRUB failure on my desktop.
[05:22] <maukarus> wow, pls dont try random things?
[05:23] <joadri> what maukarus?
[05:23] <syrinx_> Joe___, brief specs or model of computer?
[05:23] <Gibss37> hi please anybody, please ?
[05:24] <maukarus> joadri, do you know that site is what verizon intends its customers to use?
[05:24] <joadri> To use for?
[05:24] <Starminn> !please | Gibss37
[05:24] <maukarus> router maintainance xD
[05:25] <maukarus> or logging into the router..
[05:25] <Jordan_U> !details | AK|lt
[05:25] <Joe___> syrinx_: 8400GS graphics card, Intel Dual 3.0 processor, 4GB's of ram, 2.5 TB's of HDD space
[05:25] <maukarus> anyway.. there may be a way around this
[05:25] <joadri> No idea... How do I fing out? Calling them?
[05:25] <Starminn> Gibss37: Ask your question again, fresh, all on one line so everybody can fall, and see who answers you so everybody can read it nice and plainly what you need.
[05:25] <PatrickC-school> what is the least *safe* amount of RAM needed to run Ubuntu 10.10?
[05:25] <Starminn> everybody can follow*
[05:25] <syrinx_> Joe____: and how about the cd/dvd drive
[05:26] <joadri> It should be the freaking router with ubuntu, because it does not happen with win7
[05:26] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Alright... I installed Windows alongside Ubuntu 10.10 earlier today, which I've done before, and went to reinstall GRUB as I've done before... but now, when I boot from my hard drive, nothing happens. I don't think GRUB is even running. I've tried two fixes on the Ubuntu wiki and gotten no results
[05:26] <Joe___> a BD-ROM and DVD-ROM
[05:26] <joadri> My entire family use fb and I dont want to shut down ubuntu because of this. No way
[05:26] <Jordan_U> PatrickC-school: It depends on your definition of "running Ubuntu 10.10". You could probably do a minimal install with less than 100 meg, but I doubt you'd want that. What are you looking to do with the machine?
[05:27] <maukarus> calling them would be needed if you want his fixed sooner..or use windows.. it's not the router...
[05:27] <Gibss37> while new installation of UBUNTU 10.10 i am getting an error that "No root file system is defined..........", i have allocated a fresh spcae like this http://itspriyank.com/Capture.PNG, which is extended one from drive E:
[05:27] <maukarus> it's gotta be something in ubuntu
[05:27] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[05:27] <PatrickC-school> just need it to create a thing for my phone
[05:27] <PatrickC-school> and I'm installing in VBox
[05:27] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: No, just one
[05:27] <joadri> Ubuntu plus home, because I can get to fb from work
[05:27] <Starminn> Gibss37: When you go to install it you have to mount whatever your want your main partition to be as "/" (a.k.a. "root")
[05:27] <maukarus> i just wanted to see, if it detected anything network..means the package is fine, but may not have new drivers, or any
[05:28] <Jordan_U> Gibss37: Exit the manual partitioning menu and just choose automatic partitioning using the free space.
[05:28] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: The reason I noticed my flash drive problem was because I want to make a live environment on it because booting from CD takes a while
[05:28] <PatrickC-school> I need to create a custom "doctor" for my Palm Pre and I need a linux environment for it
[05:28] <Gibss37> okay i boot with live CD and try this
[05:28] <mehdi> can some1 help me with this : http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1011111
[05:28] <tristanc> joadri, were you able to access the router?
[05:28] <joadri> Ubuntu is able to connect at work, not at home. Ubuntu has something that click with the router to prevent the conection
[05:29] <joadri> when I trace to yahoo I go pass the router
[05:29] <NJSchultz07> hello. I am have some problems with a dualboot xp/ubuntu10.10. and getting the grub2 loader to work. I was wondering if I could get a hand.
[05:29] <maukarus> joadri... for the wifi...on top of that some protocol or specific ip, your pc doesnt get when u get home
[05:29] <syrinx_> exit
[05:29] <dadis> NJSchultz07: ASK YOUR QUESTION
[05:30] <maukarus> this is extreamly strange actually
[05:30] <Jordan_U> !caps | dadis
[05:30] <maukarus> gotta be a bug
[05:30] <joadri> Yes maukarus... it is something with ubuntu at home, but it has to be the router, because the desktop do not connect to fb neither using ubuntu, and yes using win7
[05:30] <PatrickC-school> what is the *smallest* amount of RAM I can use for Ubuntu 10.10 installed in a VBox?
[05:31] <NJSchultz07> grub2 is not loading on boot up. I have tried what the ubuntu site says and it still boots straight to xp. do you have any ideas?
[05:31] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[05:31] <dadis> NJSchultz07: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2
[05:31] <maukarus> hmm  ok i though win was able to..
[05:31] <Jordan_U> NJSchultz07: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[05:31] <dadis> NJSchultz07: read the Installation section
[05:31] <NJSchultz07> yes i do, two hard drives. both have two partitions.
[05:32] <maukarus> how long has it been like this joadri?
[05:32] <PatrickC-school> did my question get lost? just wonderin?
[05:32] <Jordan_U> NJSchultz07: Try changing the boot order, GRUB isn't installed to the drive you're bootin from.
[05:32] <joadri> Yes. I can do it with win7 but I don't want to leave ubuntu
[05:32] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: It says I have to run the script from my hard drive, but I can't boot into the system...
[05:32] <joadri> Like five days
[05:32] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: You can run it from a LiveCD/USB.
[05:32] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Okay, it will be a few minutes
[05:33] <NJSchultz07> in my bios settings it only give two options for boot order. HD1, which has xp and files, and cd drive.
[05:33] <joadri> I tried resetting the router, power cicling it... nada
[05:33] <maukarus> well, is there a battery?
[05:33] <Jordan_U> NJSchultz07: Then you'll need to install GRUB to the mbr of the XP drive.
[05:33] <PatrickC-school> ...
[05:33] <joadri> on the router? no that I know
[05:34] <joadri> i shoul have to open it :)
[05:34] <Jordan_U> NJSchultz07: In fact, you'll probably need to put /boot on the XP drive if the drive with Ubuntu can't be read by your BIOS.
[05:34] <maukarus> o.0
[05:34] <maukarus> noo
[05:34] <NJSchultz07> so would i follow usual instructions but rather than using the ubuntu /dev/sda5 drive, use the one listed for windows?
[05:34] <PatrickC-school> ...
[05:34] <maukarus> if there are any batteries it will have an obvious door
[05:35] <Jordan_U> NJSchultz07: No.
[05:35] <joadri> What ever it is, is on ubuntu related to the router and that IP for facebook
[05:35] <makaveli0129> can anyone help with zoneminder.....been trying for a month now to get it running....when i start it to set up a monitor i can't click on the sources tab nothing happens or does anyone have any other ideas for software for cctv in linux other than zoneminder and motion?
[05:35] <Jordan_U> NJSchultz07: Do you know why your BIOS is only listing one drive?
[05:35] <joadri> Let me look at the router...
[05:35] <PatrickC-school> ...
[05:35] <maukarus> joadri, yea and on the fios side of things
[05:35] <intrader> Anyone, as feared, my laptop fans are starting to fail after running full speed since I installed 10.10. Is there a resolution to this bug?
[05:36] <maukarus> joadri, you should have better support 0.o
[05:36] <NJSchultz07> not for sure. but i think because its an older computer, and the HD2 is a sata drive hooked up through a sata PCI card.
[05:36] <joadri> no door
[05:36] <PatrickC-school> ...
[05:37] <maukarus> hehe..what kinda router is this thing?
[05:37] <Jordan_U> NJSchultz07: You're going to need to upgrade the BIOS or install Ubuntu with /boot/ on the IDE drive.
[05:37] <sqwertle> Where should I go to ask a for help with a problem that is not related to any specific operating system, and I'm not sure if it's hardware or software?
[05:37] <joadri> Let me see if I can see any model number that I can tell
[05:38] <PatrickC-school> ...
[05:38] <rww> PatrickC-school: stop that :(
[05:38] <PatrickC-school> can someone answer my question then?
[05:39] <maukarus> pat has a question?
[05:39] <bazhang> PatrickC-school, try #vbox
[05:39] <PatrickC-school> ok
[05:39] <maukarus> why would ubuntu not like face book all the sudden?
[05:40] <maukarus> better yet verizon i guess..
[05:40] <joadri> It does away from home :)
[05:40] <NJSchultz07> I'll quick try updating the BIOS from the manufacturers website. I'll let you know shortly, in the meantime, i appreciate the help.
[05:40] <joadri> Well... I can try them tomarrow. I'm afraid they may not know their way around ubuntu
[05:41] <gaelfx> maukarus: are you sure you aren't getting routed through Chinese DNSes?
[05:41] <maukarus> well windows is not able to either correct?
[05:41] <leapy0yo> hi
[05:41] <faryshta> I get this error on wine1.3: err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 640x480x16

[05:41] <faryshta> Google can't help :(
[05:41] <abhinav_singh> how to get the time zone in linux
[05:41] <maukarus> yes

[05:42] <leapy0yo> is there a way to change the Windows key to a laptop Function key? changing it to another key besides function is easy i think. but i want to change it to my laptop's function key it is a eee pc
[05:42] <joadri> No problem with win7
[05:42] <sqwertle> I just recently used AEUSUES(spelling?) to shrink my windows xp partition on my desktop. After doing so the xp partition still worked fine (to my knowledge). I downloaded the 32bit version of 10.04 and burnt it, placed it in my cd drive and restarted my comp. I loaded up the boot menu and told it to boot from CD. It took me to the language selection menu and the menu that asks me if I want to try Ubuntu, Install, Check disc, etc. After
[05:42] <sqwertle> that the splash screen that has the dots that cycle under the logo came up and then my monitor died. The cd light and hard drive light stayed on for a while after that (1 1/2 minutes?). After rebooting my computer when everything stopped XP does the same thing past the xp splash screen. Can't get it to go past either of them.

[05:49] <ruan> ok, is smbclient samba client?
[05:49] <karla> D_Ookami, perhaps there's a meta package that pulls all of the necessary dependencies to convert your ubuntu installation
[05:49] <rww> ruan: yes
[05:49] <ruan> rww: is it safe to remove it?
[05:49] <joadri> I've updated ubuntu in my laptop to 10.04 wich is what I have in the desktop
[05:49] <maukarus> dos can sometime be broadcast and not specific =c
[05:49] <rww> ruan: yes, if you don't mind that the ubuntu-desktop metapackage will be too
[05:49] <rww> !ubuntu-desktop
[05:50] <maukarus> but it is still weird..
[05:50] <koodough> D_Ookami: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu

[05:51] <faryshta> DasEi, Somebody solved it on winehq. Thanks for your patience to bro (or sis).
[05:51] <maukarus> aarc yea actually
[05:51] <D_Ookami> koodough: this page has "Installing Packages" and "Configuration Modifications" and i did both but nothing happened
[05:51] <joadri> But I don't think it is the case, but I don't doubt anything when money is involved
[05:51] <maukarus> joadri.. that is false..people will still use windows..but yes i love ubuntu xd
[05:52] <danny_> can anyone help with gaming issues?
[05:52] <D_Ookami> karla: i'm new to linux ,, i can copy paste codes to terminal but that's about it lol ,, i wanna try ubuntu studio .. help ,, gulp .. ^^

[05:52] <karla> !help | danny_
[05:52] <aarcane> maukarus, is there a bug report, or a known fix that you know of ?

[05:52] <joadri> If that was the case i wouldn't use windows
[05:53] <koodough> D_Ookami: if you had sudo then you were running as root, which is good for installing packages
[05:53] <karla> D_Ookami, try 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-studio'
[05:53] <kaushal> like a package which contains the packges to be installed ?
[05:53] <tristanc> kaushal, you mean aome kind

[05:58] <Richie086> danny_: i can help you get the drivers installed
[05:58] <joadri> canada
[05:58] <D_Ookami> karla: last thing writtin was "removing linux-headers-2.6.35-22"
[05:58] <Richie086> its pretty easy
[05:58] <maukarus> does anyone here know of a website that offers a free proxies xD
[05:58] <joadri> Don't know what to do, but I can find out
[05:58] <DasEi> joadri: google for free https proxy, they are countless
[05:58] <ruan> danny_: have you tried system > administration > additional drivers > install current?
[05:58] <joadri> yes... freeproxy.ca
[05:58] <Anom01y> anyone know why or how alsa would just stop working along with all volume control apps ?
[05:59] <joadri> How do I use it?

[05:59] <D_Ookami> koodough: sure ,, how do i install skype over here lol < fresh install

[06:00] <koodough> D_Ookami: I know you can get by the ubuntu software center
[06:00] <pRrp> j
[06:00] <Anom01y> triplebaby, Ubuntu 9.10
[06:00] <Anom01y> tristanc, Ubuntu 9.10
[06:00] <maukarus> click one of the sites in the list xD
[06:00] <DasEi> Anom01y: unmute alsamixergui
[06:00] <mike> Hi
[06:00] <Anom01y> tristanc, lspci doesnt list my card anymore
[06:00] <danny_> ruan: yes mine are current
[06:00] <joadri> Ok... hold on...
[06:01] <Anom01y> DasEi, alsamixergui and all mixers do not work
[06:01] <ljungk> If I want to create a package from a darcs repository and put it in a ppa, will the ppa handle the darcs updates, or do I have to do that manually and upload new sources to the ppa every now and then?
[06:01] <DasEi> Anom01y: ic
[06:01] <tristanc> Anom01y, what kind of machine
[06:02] <DasEi> ljungk: the later
[06:02] <D_Ookami> koodough: alright ,, just went to get my headset
[06:02] <D_Ookami> on it.
[06:02] <DasEi> ljungk: the maintainer is responsible for it
[06:03] <Anom01y> DasEi, tristanc I fixed it by removing pulse..
[06:03] <DasEi> joadri: if it's really content filtering, not just blocking ip's you 'll need a tunneled one, not plain http
[06:03] <DasEi> Anom01y: fine, but lspi shouldN#t be affected in either way
[06:03] <DasEi> lspci*
[06:03] <maukarus> wow
[06:04] <maukarus> joadri, it seems facebook is experienceing some issues...some of these sites load, some do not, some go to the mobile side..
[06:04] <Anom01y> DasEi, my bad lspci wasn't affected (shows my card)
[06:04] <Anom01y> strange how pulse was buggered though
[06:04] <joadri> I tried freexite.com and did not worked. I'll try another one...
[06:05] <Prinler> Does ubuntu have to use pulseaudio? How can i get ubuntu to lemme play with the acual sound cards settings?
[06:05] <Anom01y> yeah computer is way faster w/o pulse
[06:05] <jenan> how do you use a flashdrive if it's not coming up?
[06:06] <Prinler> Anom01y, do you still get sound?
[06:06] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: GRUB doesn't use the boot flag. Unless you have a very buggy BIOS it shouldn't matter.
[06:06] <Anom01y> Prinler, its working now
[06:06] <Prinler> really?
[06:06] <Anom01y> just apt-removed pulse
[06:06] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Okay, just thought it might be worth pointing out
[06:06] <Prinler> ok
[06:06] <Prinler> why not
[06:06] <maukarus> joadri, try justunblockme.com its the one at the bottom
[06:07] <Prinler> looks like i gotta reboot
[06:07] <jenan> how do i use a flashdrive if it's not popping up into my documents or anything of the like
[06:07] <Prinler> Whats the point of pulseaudio
[06:07] <gaelfx> Prinler: to make life more difficult and confusing
[06:08] <Prinler> i guess sooo!! LOL
[06:08] <gaelfx> jenan: when you plug it in, go to Places->Computer
[06:08] <gaelfx> well that was fabulously pointless
[06:08] <Prinler> im trying to trouble shoot my spdif settings and it keeps showing some stupid gay generic volume bar
[06:08] <ruan> if i try to remove libsmbclient, it says that mysql*/*qt4*/libboost* are no longer required, why?
[06:08] <gaelfx> Prinler: did you run alsamixer in a terminal?
[06:09] <Prinler> yes
[06:09] <Prinler> it shows stuffs
[06:09] <amh345> my sites-enabled folder has nothing in it.  i believe this is the folder where i place my virtual hosts.  what should this file be called?
[06:09] <Jordan_U> Prinler: Please don't use "gay" as a derogitory term.
[06:09] <gaelfx> Prinler: anything muted? do you have more than one sound card?
[06:09] <Prinler> its happy :(?
[06:09] <Prinler> sorry
[06:09] <Prinler> i have onboard and i should see soemthing about my hdmi video card
[06:10] <Prinler> it has a cable that hooks up from my vid card to my mobo
[06:10] <Prinler> hmmm waiting for sound system to respond
[06:10] <maukarus> http://twitter.com/facebook/status/25239034017 lol
[06:10] <ruan> if i try to remove libsmbclient, it says that mysql*/*qt4*/libboost* are no longer required, why?
[06:10] <gaelfx> Prinler: then there is no sound device other than the pass-through on your vid card. You need to make sure that in alsamixer <mm> doesn't show up beneath spdif channel
[06:11] <Prinler> it doesnt
[06:11] <Prinler> 00
[06:11] <Prinler> ok i just booted up again, its showing a popup saying 'Waiting for sound system to repond'
[06:11] <jenan> I'm trying to use my flash-drive but It's not showing up anywhere, any ideas?
[06:12] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: Can you try following this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide but install grub to the mbr of the flash drive?
[06:12] <john88> any1 from NYC
[06:12] <gaelfx> jenan: does it show up in Places->Computer?
[06:12] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: On it
[06:12] <jenan> it doesn't show up anywhere
[06:12] <gaelfx> !ot > john88
[06:13] <gaelfx> jenan: is there any kind of light indicating that it's connected on the flash drive itself?
[06:13] <Prinler> alsamixer shows Card, HDA NVidia, Chip Realtek ALC662 Rev 1
[06:13] <jenan> the light on my flash-drive is lit up, but it's no where in my comp
[06:13] <gaelfx> jenan: open terminal and type lsusb and then !pastebin the output
[06:14] <gaelfx> !pb
[06:14] <jenan> where's the terminal?
[06:14] <gaelfx> jenan: Applications -> Accessories
[06:14] <Prinler> Anom01y,  So i uninstalled it... now it doesnt see any devices.... what now?
[06:14] <joadri> I'm there, but since this is an unusual way to get to fb, it is asking for a security way to make sure is me. It's trying to load words fo me to type in, but it is hanging... does not go any where... second attempt and nothing
[06:15] <jenan> okay I've done that
[06:15] <jngdaq> HOW ARE YOU
[06:15] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: On 'sudo chroot /mnt' I get 'chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash/': Exec format error
[06:15] <Prinler> lspci
[06:15] <gaelfx> jenan: and can you link to your pastebin please?
[06:16] <jenan> I don't think I can, I'm kinda confused
[06:16] <gaelfx> !pb > jenan
[06:16] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: To chroot into a 64 bit system you need to be running a 64 bit kernel.
[06:16] <maukarus> joadri..you forgot your passworD?
[06:17] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Oh, I see. Well, hold on, I'll redo my USB drive
[06:17] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: No need really.
[06:17] <gaelfx> jenan: in terminal, you need to type 'lsusb' and then press enter, and it should give you a list. then you need to copy that list, and paste it in pastebin, click submit and then send us the link
[06:18] <Anom01y> Prinler, your having probs ?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: As long as it's Ubuntu 10.04 or newer run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX" where sdX is your flash drive.
[06:18] <Prinler> yeah, now i have no sound. I can do a lspci it shows my nvidia HD sound device
[06:18] <Anom01y> try removing pulseaudio
[06:18] <gaelfx> Prinler: have you considered trying the alsa backports?
[06:18] <Anom01y> then install alsamixergui
[06:18] <Prinler> alasmixer shows a nvidia realtek alc662
[06:19] <Prinler> Anom01y, i did
[06:19] <Prinler> lemme run it
[06:19] <Anom01y> sudo alsa force-reload
[06:19] <eoss> hello user permissions in apache have nothing to do with .htaccess from accessing outside correct?

[06:20] <ruan> firtvid20: which version of ubuntu, and which video drivers are you using?
[06:20] <Prinler> Anom01y, it looks like its working.. lemme see about trying my steps to get it threw hdmi

[06:22] <ruan> firtvid20: java JRE also installed?
[06:23] <maukarus> joadri, well atleast facebook has security xD
[06:23] <firtvid20> ruan: Yeah, I checked that 3 times
[06:23] <ZeroZiat> Err, anyways, I want to install ubuntu,  but apparently my partitions are overlapping. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1697051) How should I proceed to keep everything chipper as normal, with my Windows XP, etc. You know, the usual Dual Boot stuff.
[06:23] <maukarus> i'm sorry i couldn't completely resolve this for you
[06:23] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: how many partitions does your XP take up?
[06:24] <joadri> yes... not good for me now
[06:24] <joadri> Ok. I will give verizon a call tomarrow, maukarus
[06:24] <joadri> Thanks a lot for trying
[06:24] <ZeroZiat> "My HDD is partitioned like this:
[06:24] <ZeroZiat> 2 partitions for windows (one holds windows, stuff and some minimal file storage, the other one is pure file storage) and the rest would be for Ubuntu."
[06:24] <joadri> Do you want me to let you know if verizon was able to solve it?
[06:24] <maukarus> kk, it seems many have had similar issue isp aside..and not specifically verizon..in the past
[06:25] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: and how much free space do you have to work with?
[06:25] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: About 12 gigs, the full story is in that post really, but I don't want to force you to read it.
[06:25] <Prinler> no go on the sound thrw hdmi
[06:25] <Prinler> trying all the settings in xbmc
[06:25] <maukarus> yes if you can..xD create a form thread if you'd like
[06:26] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: and how much physical ram?
[06:26] <joadri> don't know what is it... I meant to send you an email with the info
[06:26] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: I got about 2 gigs.
[06:26] <maukarus> ubuntu forums?
[06:26] <ZeroZiat> This whole issue is most related with partition tables and HDD stuff.
[06:26] <maukarus> !forum
[06:26] <maukarus> xD
[06:27] <joadri> I created an account and could not find a way to post a new issue so I can ask for help
[06:27] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: ok, one more question, and then I should be able to help you actually. Is the free space unallocated, or is it part of one of the partitions, or is it free space in both partitions put together?
[06:28] <joadri> Then I tried to reply to an email I got from them and then the system said I need to post at least 75 times in the forum to be able to contact them that way
[06:28] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: I followed all the steps and it appears to be working again... I got the GRUB menu. Again, thank you very much
[06:28] <joadri> It has been a nightmare
[06:29] <maukarus> joadri,  o.0 omffg
[06:29] <Jordan_U> AK|lt: You're welcome. Does it only work when you have the Flash drive plugged in though?
[06:29] <joadri> I will call verizon tomarrow. I know they don't know much about ubuntu... What ís that?
[06:29] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: I dunno... let me reboot without the drive in
[06:29] <joadri> the leeter "o" dot zero space omffg?
[06:29] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: In the 'free space' resides an older version of Ubuntu, which I can't really access, cause dumb me, I installed ubuntu first, and then windows. Windows overwrote the MBR, etc... I intend to wipe both partitions and install Ubuntu 10.10.
[06:30] <maukarus> joadri, xD don't worry
[06:30] <joadri> remember... I am not like you guys :)
[06:30] <Prinler> Does this look like the right syntax? sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)
[06:30] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: well, there is a way to fix that from the livecd you know. you can just reinstall grub
[06:30] <AK|lt> Jordan_U: Nope, it's fine
[06:30] <joadri> I'm a windows guys moving to ubuntu :)
[06:30] <Prinler> all i get is a >
[06:30] <Guest78397> yay
[06:30] <maukarus> it's 2 am herre -.-
[06:30] <ar71k> *yay
[06:31] <maukarus> z-.z
[06:31] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: but if it won't be missed, then you might as well redo it with partitions done properly
[06:31] <joadri> ok. I'll let you go. Thanks again :)
[06:31] <maukarus> good luck man i hope verizon supports ubuntu
[06:31] <joadri> Oh boy :)
[06:31] <DimaV> I have Ubuntu Server 10.10 running headless with CLI only. I want to VNC into the machine and use GNOME with it, but only have a minimal install of GNOME that DOESN'T start up with the machine (envoked by VNC only with gnome-sessions &), how would i do that?
[06:32] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: The problem is that I don't know how I could install grub if my partitions overlap (if you've read my logs in that thread)
[06:32] <maukarus> i will continue working with ubuntu and verizon and see
[06:32] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: sorry, I'll try to look at the logs
[06:32] <arvind_khadri> Hi, has anyone been facing this issue of applications hanging on lucid lynx with 2.6.32-28 kernel.
[06:34] <amit> hi to all
[06:35] <amit> how to copy file from host to virtual box OS ?
[06:35] <DimaV> Again: I have Ubuntu Server 10.10 running headless with CLI only. I want to VNC into the machine and use GNOME with it, but only have a minimal install of GNOME that DOESN'T start up with the machine (envoked by VNC only with gnome-sessions &), how would i do that?
[06:35] <arvind_khadri> amit, #vbox for virtual box discussion.  You need to have guest additions installed
[06:36] <amit> ok thanx @ arvind
[06:37] <hermanlf> when I do 'sudo update-grub' It finds my Windows XP and my CentOS installion but only the XP gets added to grub, centos does not. How can I fix this?
[06:37] <tristanc> Prinler, try  sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-`uname -r`
[06:37] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: ok, it looks like you need to fix this via windows, cause as far as I can tell, the overlapping partitions are windows partitions. have you tried any windows partition editing programs? also, which version of windows?
[06:38] <Prinler> ok
[06:38] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: I got Windows XP SP3, I've really no idea what I would do with the partition tools yet, I wasn't aware they were 'overlapping' until gparted told me.
[06:38] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: What partitions are you planning to delete? It looks like deleting sda3 would solve the overlap (though I'd have to double check that to be sure).
[06:39] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: just so you know, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the MBR being over-written (could be wrong, but that shouldn't affect what you're trying to do)
[06:40] <tristanc> Prinler, any luck?
[06:40] <ZeroZiat> Jordan_U: I dunno if you catched my conversation with gaelfx from the beggining, I have a spare partition with an older Ubuntu (i think it's 6.06) which I am planning to delete, and install Ubuntu 10.10.
[06:40] <Prinler> yes!
[06:40] <Prinler> ty
[06:40] <tristanc> you're welcome
[06:40] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: also, is there anything on those windowws partitions that you really need to keep, or could you possibly reinstall windows?
[06:40] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: Oh, ok, cause I thought it did considering gparted can't see anything, it only lists my drive as empty and the text parted tool actually says something useful, (the drives are overlappin)
[06:41] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: Yeah, I was planning to leave their integrity pretty much intact, making this operation harder. :s
[06:41] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: no, I think that's more a bug with gparted, but it's kinda irrelevant since that won't get fixed right now
[06:42] <Prinler> Ok im installing new liniux-alsa-drivers-moduals
[06:42] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: I'm not sure how to use the text version of parted to delete a partition, but I think if you do use it to delete that linux partition, you should be able to use gparted to fix it afterwards
[06:42] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: You sure? :D
[06:42] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: It looks like what you have is two primary NTFS (windows) partitions, sda1 and sda3,  and an extended partition, sda2, containing a logical swap partition, sda5. sda2 and sda5 are probably left over from the Ubuntu install and removing them should get rid of any overlap.
[06:43] <Metaxa> Hello folks. Anyone able to help me setup empathy so I can use it as my IRC client instead of needing to use the web client, or a link for such information?
[06:43] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: no, but it seems like it is the problem, since it's written in a really strange place "on top" of your windows stuff
[06:43] <Prinler> @#%@#$ still doesnt show my HDMI
[06:44] <tristanc> ouch!
[06:44] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: also, you would have to resize one of the windows partitions to get space for the ubuntu
[06:44] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: have you considered making a persistent liveusb?
[06:44] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: You sure? the ubuntu partition which I'd delete would make enough space for ubuntu.
[06:45] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: First, right now before anything else, tell me what the output of "cat /proc/swaps" is.
[06:45] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: Also I tried doing that with my cellphone's memory card, it went well and all but my cellphone wouldn't come to terms with it and would start making default folders everywhere, so I cancelled that project.
[06:45] <ZeroZiat> Jordan_U, I'm not on ubuntu at the moment, I'm on my windows partition.
[06:46] <bc81> Metaxa: i've never used empathy for IRC (prefer XChat), but maybe try Edit > Accounts > Add > Protocol = IRC > Apply
[06:46] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: The Ubuntu partition is using the same space as one of the windows partitions, hence "overlapping".
[06:46] <ZeroZiat> And I can't access that one installed ubuntu partition cause windows overwrote the mbr, i could try with my gparted live cd, tho.
[06:46] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: the ubuntu partition exists in a place where another partition already exists, so there is no space for it, that's what's causing the problem in the first place
[06:47] <ZeroZiat> hmm, i see.
[06:48] <ZeroZiat> so to clear up: My two partitions of windows, one is being held by a swap to a logical partition, are not overlapping. My ubuntu partition though, is overlapping some partition or somesuch..., right?
[06:48] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: http://pastebin.com/H0eSyqTK look at the numbers, the linux partition starts about the same place as the second windows partition
[06:48] <testingempathy> Metaxa: yep, just tried it out.  typing from empathy right now.  after setting up the account, go to Room > Join and put #ubuntu
[06:49] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: correct. i think you can use parted to remove the offending partition, I'm just checking the syntax about how to do that for you
[06:49] <Metaxa> bc81: I did that, went to join the room #ubuntu, then nothing happens.
[06:49] <tristanc> Prinler, i had to compile my own sound driver on an older machine once. could that be part of the problem?
[06:49] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: Right now the only "linux" partition you have is a swap partition, sda5, which is contained within an extended partition, sda2.
[06:49] <Prinler> not sure
[06:49] <Prinler> all i know is i show no hdmi devices in aplay
[06:49] <bc81> Metaxa: not sure then, are you registered w/ NickServ?
[06:49] <Prinler> so im kinda stuck in limbo
[06:50] <ZeroZiat> Jordan_U: But didn't my ubuntu 6.06 made another small partition as a swap partition, as it usually does? Where's that one? o.o
[06:50] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: try parted rm sda5 in a terminal
[06:50] <ZeroZiat> oh dumb me i just saw it
[06:50] <Metaxa> bc81: No. very new to IRC
[06:50] <bc81> Metaxa: ok, in Edit > Accounts > be sure it's enabled
[06:50] <Ar71k> I need some help identifying what /dev/ is my audio device
[06:51] <bc81> Metaxa: and you set a nick and password, also?
[06:51] <ruan> my swap is 540 kb, how can i reduce it to 0 kb?
[06:51] <Jordan_U> ruan: Why?
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> Ar71k: sudo lshw -C sound   may tell you
[06:52] <Prinler> every link i read is a dead end most are unfinished from 3 years ago... kinda frusterating
[06:52] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: and then pastebin the output of parted -list
[06:52] <Metaxa> bc81: It shows me as being connected to freenode
[06:52] <karla> ruan, delete the swap partition
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> Ruan: 540kb used, or in size?
[06:52] <ruan> hmm i wonder if i even have a swap partition
[06:53] <karla> if you didn't it would be 0kb
[06:53] <bc81> Metaxa: i don't know what could be the problen, try restarting empathy i suppose
[06:53] <Ar71k> hmm it said the name of the device but not the location in the /dev/* directory
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> Ruan: sudo parted -l   will show you
[06:53] <ZeroZiat> my bad, my internet disconnected
[06:53] <Metaxa> bc81: I wonder if I can only be connected to one chat service at a time
[06:54] <bc81> Metaxa: well possibly, try another nick like Metaxa_
[06:54] <ruan> ok how do i remove the swap partition?
[06:54] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: not a problem, did you try that command I sent you?
[06:54] <karla> ruan, using fdisk
[06:54] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: I'm just gathering data right now, I'm on the same computer that has windows and ubuntu on it, so I'll have to try that later.
[06:54] <death4or11> no idea
[06:54] <karla> ruan, first what's the output of swapon -s ?
[06:55] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: oh, ok
[06:55] <ZeroZiat> Or in a second, but yeah
[06:55] <ruan> /dev/sdb5                               partition3303420532
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> Ruan: swapoff /dev/partition then remove its entry in fstab
[06:56] <Metaxa123> bc81: That seems to have work
[06:56] <death4or11> how to install ubuntu??
[06:56] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: My second problem tho, is that my wireless network adapter card doesn't work with ubuntu and I have to do that whole ndiswrapper crap I had to do like 4 years ago
[06:56] <ruan> ok so will it run completely off physical RAM if i remove swap?
[06:56] <bc81> !install
[06:56] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: What wireless card>
[06:56] <Jordan_U> ?
[06:57] <Metaxa> bc81: Thanks! I think it was being connected thru here that casued the problem
[06:57] <bc81> ruan: how much RAM do you have
[06:57] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: well, if you can connect with an ethernet cable, you could try installing backports compat wireless package in Synaptic
[06:57] <ruan> bc81: 3 gb
[06:57] <bc81> Metaxa: welcome :)
[06:57] <bc81> ruan: i would leave the swap alone if i were you
[06:57] <ZeroZiat> Jordan_U: It's a Belkin 54mbs desktop adapter
[06:57] <ZeroZiat> mbps*
[06:57] <death4or11> ubottu want to install ubuntu 10.10
[06:57] <ZeroZiat> it uses a broadcom driver, so that spells only trouble
[06:57] <ruan> bc81: currently, less than 1mb of swap is being used
[06:58] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: USB?
[06:58] <ZeroZiat> I managed to load it during the live cd tryout but it still wouldn't do much so I had to leave
[06:58] <ZeroZiat> to windows
[06:58] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: actually broadcom cards have been pretty usable lately
[06:58] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx: not so much 4 years ago
[06:58] <ZeroZiat> that was hell
[06:58] <Jordan_U> gaelfx: Broadcom + USB though is still painfull.
[06:58] <ZeroZiat> but yeah, i came back for that one reason, to see how they carried on with that problem and such
[06:59] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: if you can connect in ethernet, maybe you can download the proprietary drivers?
[06:59] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx, I can't, my router is too far away and I got no cat5 cable that long.
[06:59] <gaelfx> Jordan_U: well isn't that just dandy? plug'n'play my left foot
[06:59] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: Is it a USB adaptor?
[06:59] <gaelfx> ZeroZiat: you couldn't move the computer closer to it?
[07:00] <ZeroZiat> Nope, it goes in the PCI slot in the motherboard
[07:00] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx, naaah, i'm too lazy
[07:00] <ZeroZiat> and that'd be hell
[07:00] <bc81> ruan: i mean, unless you need to reclaim the couple GiB it's best to leave it there
[07:00] <ZeroZiat> positioning it on the dining room, etc
[07:00] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: If it goes in the PCI slot then you should be able to use it without NDISwrapper.
[07:00] <Jordan_U> !broadcom | ZeroZiat See specifically the instructions for installing without internet access
[07:00] <Prinler> updates Alsa and still no gravey
[07:00] <ZeroZiat> Jordan_U: But I got it to work with ndiswrapper 4 years ago! Well my world was just blown.
[07:00] <bc81> ruan: you ever play games, or multitask, render 3d, use virtual machines etc?
[07:01] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: NDSISwrapper has never been an optimal solution.
[07:01] <ZeroZiat> Jordan_U: Mine's a bcmwl5
[07:01] <ZeroZiat> jordan_u: it's what the helpfiles in ubuntu recommend firsthand tho
[07:01] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: Because it's all there was :) Now there are native drivers.
[07:02] <bc81> ruan:  hibernate your computer will use swap among other things.  see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[07:03] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: bcmwl5 is a windows driver for a series of BCM43XX cards.
[07:03] <ZeroZiat> jordan_u in the live cd they recommended exactly the same except this time it was ndisgtk, and my wireless card doesn't ran by default in ubuntu, so after installing bcmwl5.inf in ndisgtk, i checked if it was on but it doesn't turn on in ubuntu and I don't remember how I made it light up 4 years ago
[07:03] <wake83> Can someone help me diagnose a problem with gnome-terminal, and now install-info? When I open gnome-terminal, it shows as a tab in the system tray and says starting, flashes on the screen, then immediately closes.

I have been using konsole in the me
[07:03] <wake83> while trying to get gnome-terminal to work, however I am also now being immediately disconnected when I try to ssh into the box from another pc on the network. Not sure if this is all related or not. I'm using 10.04.
[07:03] <ZeroZiat> oh, thanks

[07:04] <GopalK> Hi, I'm trying to build 32 bit lib on my 64 bit ubuntu. I get this error. /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/libstdc++.so when searching for -lstdc++
[07:04] <jargal> hi
[07:04] <GopalK> Which package should I install to get it working?
[07:04] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: Who / what recommended the same? What is the exact chipset of your wireless card? (run "lspci -vnn | grep 14e4" to find out).
[07:04] <ruan> bc81: i dont use hibernate, and all games i play dont use more than 1gb of ram
[07:05] <ZeroZiat> jordan_u I'll have to throw that one to the 'big pile of stuff to try when i boot into ubuntu', i guess
[07:05] <wake83> Can someone help me diagnose a problem with gnome-terminal, and now install-info? When I open gnome-terminal, it shows as a tab in the system tray and says starting, flashes on the screen, then immediately closes.

[07:05] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: Did you try simply going to System > Adminstration > Additional Drivers?
[07:06] <ZeroZiat> jordan_u: Anyway to find out in windows?
[07:06] <ZeroZiat> jordan_u: nope, when it wouldn't detect the card I just went to help file which redirected me to ndisgtk, heh.
[07:07] <Ar71k> anyone know how to find out which /dev/* is your audio device?
[07:07] <Prinler> whats this mean ? iec958:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0
[07:07] <Prinler>     HDA NVidia, ALC662 rev1 Digital
[07:07] <Prinler>     IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
[07:08] <GopalK> Sorry, got disconnected.
[07:09] <amit> !mount
[07:09] <ZeroZiat> alright, so the doctor's prescription is: remove the old ubuntu partition with 'parted rm sda5'
[07:09] <bc81> wake83: you might try alt+f2 killall gnome-terminal (maybe it froze up?)
[07:09] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: Again, this will probably get you going with native drivers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#ST%20%20-%20No%20Internet%20access
[07:10] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: My guess is that you'll have to use fdisk to remove both sda5 and sda2.
[07:10] <tsudot> hi, which config file saves the default application to launch for a particular file type?
[07:10] <ZeroZiat> err, i'll have to take note and put it into my usb to read while in ubuntu
[07:11] <wake83> bc81: thanks for the response. I tried that, however it doesn't appear to have done anything. I have rebooted within the last 5 minutes and on the first attempt at running terminal it produces the bad behavior of closing immediately.
[07:11] <ZeroZiat> jordan_u: Wait, what syntax to remove it with fdisk instead of parted?
[07:11] <ruan> tsudot: im not sure, but you can use the GUI(nautilus) to change default application to launch
[07:12] <Prinler> Would upgrading my Nvidia graphics drivers help my HDMI sound issue you think? out of ideas!!
[07:12] <tsudot> ruan, thanks, but I wanted to know if there is any config file for the same
[07:13] <tsudot> ruan, I'm trying to change it problematically
[07:13] <tsudot> *programitically
[07:14] <bc81> wake83: can you alt+f2 xterm
[07:15] <wake83> bc81: no it behaves the same way, I see the window try to open in the bottom taskbar, but then it disappears
[07:15] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx or Jordan_U : There's one thing which I don't get... where's my /dev/sda4/
[07:16] <bc81> wake83: not sure, sorry.  you know the virtual consoles?  try to access one ctrl+alt+f2 & ctrl+alt+f8 to return
[07:16] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: You don't have one. Logical partitins start at 5, even if you haven't used all 4 primary partitions.
[07:16] <ZeroZiat> Oh.
[07:16] <ZeroZiat> Jordan_U, neat. Okay. But I still don't know how to remove sda2 and sda5 with fdisk.

[07:22] <Jordan_U> ZeroZiat: I only know how to use fdisk interactively.

[07:33] <SealedWithAKiss> I have re-installed Windows 7. I wanted to stop using GRUB and use the Windows 7 boot loader to choose between Ubuntu and Windows upon starting. I downloaded an application called EasyBCD and followed this guide (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/use-the-windows-bootloader-to-dual-boot-windows-vista-and-ubuntu.html). However now when I boot my machine it goes straight to GRUB. Inside GRUB there is only a reference to my previous Vist
[07:33] <SealedWithAKiss> a installation and I cannot get into Windows 7. Can anybody help?
[07:33] <eiselekd> jag vill se po skräckfilm!
[07:33] <FloodBot2> SealedWithAKiss: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:33] <WaterRatj> hmm seems not working, says like desktop effects can't be enabled
[07:34] <eiselekd> ,kouj
[07:34] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: Run "sudo update-grub".
[07:34] <lwizardl> can someone help me find a program to rename all files in a directory using any thing sorta like "My Trip Pictures ***.jpg"
[07:34] <bc81> wake83: yea i've <i>never</i> had a smooth transition when upgrading that way, always do a fresh install
[07:34] <lwizardl> on windows i used http://www.xnview.com/en/screenshots.html but the linux version doesn't work the same
[07:34] <wake83> bc81: lesson learned. :)
[07:34] <BiPolah> Is there a list of Worldguard permissions anywhere? I want a group to be able to build in any region but not create them
[07:35] <bc81> WaterRatj: did you enstall drivers for your GFX card?
[07:35] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, also why is there like 4 entries on GRUB similar to this: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic ?
[07:35] <WaterRatj> no, just installed ubuntu and saw that ubuntu had compiz installed
[07:35] <WaterRatj> So I need to install drivers? where do I get them exactly?
[07:35] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, and 4 similar to this: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic ?
[07:36] <bc81> WaterRatj: hmm..check system > admin > additional drivers
[07:36] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, updating GRUB appears to have done nothing, it is still adding the old entry for Windows Vista.
[07:36] <WaterRatj> Says no appropriate drivers isntalled
[07:36] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: Those are older kernels. Whenever a new kernel is installed the old one is kept in case of problems with the newer one.
[07:37] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[07:38] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, /dev/sda1:Windows Vista (loader):Windows:chain
[07:38] <bc81> WaterRatj: i can't help you further as this is unfamiliar to me. what kind of system is it, what video card etc
[07:38] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: What happens when you try to use the Vista entry?
[07:39] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, the screen goes blank and then it returns me to the GRUB menu.
[07:41] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, I had a Ubuntu / Vista dual boot before. I was using GRUB to switch between the two. Vista became unusable so I upgraded to 7, that didn't fix my Vista issues so I performed a clean installation of Windows 7. Then I decided I didn't want GRUB and downloaded EasyBCD. Then things went wrogn.
[07:41] <gaurav_help> how i mount my drives from terminal
[07:41] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, I'd just like GRUB to show two menu entries. Windows 7 and Ubuntu. With both working.
[07:42] <bc81> !mount | gaurav_help
[07:44] <ZeroZiat> Okay, then.
[07:44] <ZeroZiat> I deleted sda2 and sda5, I asked parted to run 'print' again. It said that the partitions were overlapping, yet again.
[07:45] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, I had massive problems with GRUB a long time ago. I couldn't boot into anything. Somebody on here helped me manually fix things, and it took hours. GRUB is really messed up.
[07:47] <lafa_> I have installed grub-efi on my imac, i can load fine into grub; here the keyboard works. Now when i boot ubuntu none of the input devices work
[07:48] <WaterRatj> Ok, Installed my video driver. Where do I go again for enabling compiz?
[07:49] <hermanlf> is there any way to find out what frame buffer mode is currently being used?
[07:50] <ZeroZiat> hmph
[07:50] <ZeroZiat> gaelfx, you there?
[07:50] <SealedWithAKiss> Can anybody help me with an inaccurate Windows entry in GRUB? Can't boot into Windows 7.
[07:51] <red> how do I find out what my " #{RAILS_ROOT} " is?
[07:52] <GrimmleSawOdooLa> Well, I'm having problems with MSN file transfer in Pidgin on Ubuntu. What should I do? File transfer rate is extremely slow.
[07:54] <SealedWithAKiss> Anybody? I cannot access Windows and have to complete a C# university assignment in VS 2010 by midday.

[07:59] <mage7> hello...I want to install an older version of gdb  (6.8 instead of 7.2)  because apparently it doesnt work with Qt Creator...
[07:59] <mage7> but when i try to remove  the newer version using Synaptics package manager, it says i have to also remove qt-sdk which i dont want to do ...is there any way to work around this
[08:00] <ruan> mage7: you could remove both and reinstall qt-sdk
[08:02] <mage7> thanks for reply ruan...ok Synaptics says that qt-sdk is 32 KB..so to reinstall will hopefully only take 32KB? because i am on dial-up and i dont want to download the entire Qt-sdk (several 100s of MBs)
[08:04] <jqke> mage7: i think that normaly when you got aptitutde remove ... it just uninstall but dont remove the package from local directory.
[08:05] <jqke> mage7: so next install, you should need to download  if you use remove and not purge
[08:05] <rumpe1> mage7, qt-sdk is a meta-package... that's the reason why it's so small and it have to download much more packages
[08:06] <mage7> rumpe1: so removing or reinstalling it wont also remove/reinstall all the other packages?
[08:06] <rumpe1> mage7, removing will only remove the metapackage... the 32kB
[08:07] <rumpe1> mage7, the dependend packages will still be there unless you do a apt-get autoremove
[08:08] <mage7> ok thanks...so i will remove (but not purge) gdb along with qt-sdk and try to install the older version and then reinstall qt-sdk and see what happens
[08:09] <rumpe1> mage7, reinstalling qt-sdk will update the gdb-version to the version in the dependencies of qt-sdk
[08:09] <rumpe1> mage7, but you can try pinning the gdb-version

[08:12] <robbiethe1st> Anyone know some stuff about deleted file recovery on an EXT4 filesystem?
[08:12] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, do you think that there's anything you might be able to do to help fix GRUB?
[08:13] <Jordan_U> Cocoabean: You're welcome :)
[08:13] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: It's too late for me to think straight now, but possibly tomorrow.
[08:13] <rumpe1> Cocoabean, there are some infos for this case i guess: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi#switching_windows

[08:14] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, thanks anyway.
[08:15] <SealedWithAKiss> I have a problem with GRUB, can anybody help?
[08:16] <mage7> SealedWithAKiss .I doubt i can help...but could you describe the problem...is the entry missing from GRUB?
[08:16] <Metaxa123> hum...
[08:16] <nelson09> SealedWithAKiss, Its possible I could help too. please describe whats wrong.
[08:16] <SealedWithAKiss> mage7, I installed Windows 7 over Windows Vista. The entry for Vista is still in GRUB, however it doesn't boot into Windows.
[08:17] <mage7> rumpe1....can you tell me how to pin the gdb-version
[08:17] <rumpe1> mage7, there should be some option in synaptic like "force version" or similar
[08:19] <mage7> rumpe1...ok thanks found it..trying
[08:19] <ruan> is there a reason why programs ran with superuser privileges don't apply a theme?
[08:20] <SealedWithAKiss> nelson09, I removed Vista and installed Windows 7. I then downloaded a tool called EasyBCD because I wanted to use the Windows boot loader instead of GRUB. Since rebooting I have been unable to boot into Windows, since I'm taken automatically to GRUB, and the only Windows entry is the old Vista one which no longer works.
[08:20] <ruan> eg. synaptic or gksudo gedit
[08:21] <rumpe1> SealedWithAKiss, you have to update grub
[08:21] <SealedWithAKiss> rumpe1, , "sudo update-grub" does nothing.
[08:21] <rumpe1> SealedWithAKiss, define "nothing"
[08:21] <SealedWithAKiss> rumpe1, it doesn't change the entries in the GRUB menu.
[08:21] <rumpe1> SealedWithAKiss, how about "sudo os-prober"
[08:22] <SealedWithAKiss> rumpe1, that produces /dev/sda1:Windows Vista (loader):Windows:chain
[08:22] <mage7> hello...guys will running grub-install help SealedWithAKiss
[08:22] <SealedWithAKiss> Windows 7 is on /dev/sda1
[08:23] <SealedWithAKiss> The Vista entry points to HD 0 and partition 1 - where Windows is located, right?
[08:24] <nelson09> that entry SEEMS correct, however partitions / HDD numbers can be different. Usually "sudo update-grub" will rescan for any other OS.
[08:25] <Metaxa> Hum...If I type /msg NickServ REGISTER (my pswd) (email) I get an error for syntax. I am very new at this, I have done nothing else but used empathy to connect to this IRC channel.
[08:25] <SealedWithAKiss> nelson09, "sudo update-grub" doesn't help.
[08:25] <jetienne> http://security.ubuntu.com/ i got 20kbyte/s from security.ubuntu.com... how come ? is there something big happening
[08:25] <SealedWithAKiss> In order to make absolutely sure it hasn't changed anything I'll take the system down for a reboot.
[08:25] <nelson09> I saw that post earlier. Does indeed complicate things... Try the command "fdisk -l" this will list the partitions on the HDDs and how they are formated.
[08:25] <rumpe1> SealedWithAKiss, it nothing else works, create a /etc/grub.d-script for win7 manually
[08:26] <michele> firs user
[08:26] <michele> first time use ubuntu
[08:26] <michele> good morning
[08:26] <Metaxa> morning
[08:27] <michele> this chat is ok
[08:27] <michele> here is possible to talk for ubuntu
[08:27] <jetienne> jdk at 20k/s is harsh :)
[08:27] <mage7> good morning and welcome to ubuntu...We wish you a pleasant flight and hope you enjoy your complimentary peanuts
[08:28] <tonyyarusso> jetienne: No, just Canonical's gear failing.
[08:28] <SealedWithAKiss> I'm back, nothing has changed.
[08:29] <michele> mmmh I  I have ubuntu 10.10
[08:29] <mage7> SealedWithAKiss: What is the message that is printed when you select Vista
[08:29] <michele> for my nebook
[08:29] <Metaxa> nice, i've been using the same for some time now
[08:29] <nelson09> SealedWithAKiss, I believe you logged off before I sent my last message. Try the command "fdisk -l". This will list the partitions on the drive and how they are formatted. by looking for NTFS, you should be able to verify sda1 / partition 1 etc.
[08:29] <SealedWithAKiss> mage7, the screen goes momentarily blank and then takes me back to the GRUB menu. Nothing is displayed.
[08:29] <michele> but I don't know my kernel
[08:30] <SealedWithAKiss> nelson09, I have already verified that dev/sda1 is Windows.
[08:30] <ruan_> uh, why did it just rejoin
[08:30] <mage7> michele type uname -a  in terminal
[08:31] <michele> need  help for shortcut keyboard
[08:31] <nelson09> that is odd.. do you have "ChainLoader +1" or similar in the grub file?
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> michele: You can also get the kernel version from the "System" tab of the System Monitor under System->Administration in the menu.
[08:32] <SealedWithAKiss> nelson09, yes.
[08:32] <michele> ok check
[08:32] <norlane> :)
[08:33] <SealedWithAKiss> nelson09, I typed in GRUB at the command line and it told me it wasn't installed. I've done sudo apt-get instal grub and it's told me that there's no menu.lst so I hit Y to generate one. Now there isn't even a Vista entry.
[08:33] <nelson09> alright. and sorry if im having you check things you already have. I hava a laptop that i installed 7 over vista dual boot linux. I'm checking to see what I have.

[08:34] <michele> ubuntu 10.10 maverick
[08:34] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: You should not have installed the "grub" package, that's grub legacy. run "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" before you reboot or you might not be able to boot at all.
[08:35] <michele> tonyrusso. thanks
[08:35] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, life saver. Thanks.
[08:35] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: You're welcome.
[08:35] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, is there anything else I should do?
[08:36] <nelson09> Yep, just what I was going to say. Jordan_U is correct. make sure to install that BEFORE a reboot or have a boot disk handy.
[08:36] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, it is now generating grub.cfg with the Vista entry again.
[08:36] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?

[08:44] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: is it possible to run VS2010 with wine?
[08:44] <Madpilot> shane2, sometimes Ubuntu mutes all sound output by default, for some reason.
[08:45] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, no I'm talking about Windows 7.
[08:45] <Madpilot> shane2, click the volume notify icon, top right of the screen somewhere, and see if it's showing Mute selected
[08:45] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, sorry I misunderstood. No it isn't possible.
[08:45] <shane2> i have tried by using different techniques but no luck

[08:47] <shane2> in "Sound Preference" i cannot see any hard driver
[08:47] <ruan_> ah ok
[08:48] <ruan_> what about virtualbox/vmware
[08:49] <ruan_> if all else fails, of course
[08:49] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, any progress?
[08:51] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: You appear to have done some odd, and in some cases incorrect, things to try to add a windows entry manually to grub. And I don't see any automtic entry in either of the two grub.cfgs you have (again odd that you have two). I really am too tired to sort it all out at the moment. I'd say try booting with Super GRUB2 Disk (burn it to a CD, unetbootin will *not* work) and if that doesn't allow you to boot windows then look for another computer
[08:51] <linux_probe> lolol
[08:52] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, do you anticipate that this miss will take a long time to sort out? I don't have a CD to hand.

[08:53] <Dewi> how can I see what display driver X is using?
[08:53] <ruan_> Dewi: what is X?

[08:54] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: Yes.
[08:54] <ruan_> isn't it possible to boot off usb?
[08:54] <mrnoda> leave
[08:54] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, is re-installing the whole OS a quick-fix option? I really need this sorted as soon as possible.
[08:55] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: Yes, re-installing Windows should fix it.
[08:55] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, I mean Ubuntu.
[08:55] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: No, I don't think that will help, though I'm not sure.
[08:56] <dc5ala> Dewi: you can check /var/log/Xorg* log files
[08:56] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: fastest solution i can think of is emulation
[08:57] <SealedWithAKiss> I don't know what to do. It doesn't appear as though anybody in here is experienced enough to be able to help me resolve this problem, perhaps other than Jordan_U but he's understandably tired.
[08:57] <mage7> if SealedWithAKiss ran fixmbr from the windows seven cd would that enable him to boot into seven (at the cost of losing grub and ability to boot into ubuntu temporarily)
[08:57] <SealedWithAKiss> That means I have no chance!
[08:57] <White-Horse> ok please do not kick me or ban but i really must flame ubuntu for a 1 or 2 mins why the hell did ubuntu decide to drop support for nvida cards when nvidia has always supported linux it was ati that was not on board right up till 9.10 everything was fine then 10.04 comes out and bang no more nvida support i just do not understand why break something that wasn't broke what the hell is going on ?
[08:58] <ruan_> White-Horse: im on a nvidia card and its working for me..

[08:59] <mage7> White-Horse i am on an nvidia 8600m-gt on 10.10 and its working fine
[08:59] <White-Horse> yes but the nvidia linux priority driver has been drop from hardware driver
[08:59] <mehdi> anyone similar with this errors?  warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’
[08:59] <mehdi> error: ‘strstr’ was not declared in this scope
[08:59] <White-Horse> now you must install it yourself and config X
[08:59] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, I have a Windows ISO located on my Windows partition. You're saying that there's a way to boot from that without a CD from Linux so that I can use the recovery console to fixmbr?
[09:00] <mage7> White-Horse have you tried System>Administration>Additional-Drivers?
[09:00] <White-Horse> yes i have
[09:00] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: No. I'm saying that you can use that to install and use Windows within a virtual machine.'
[09:00] <White-Horse> also when you install it yourself the boot up screen is all messed up
[09:00] <White-Horse> only after you boot into linux the screen is ok
[09:00] <SealedWithAKiss> Is there any way to run the fixmbr command from Linux?
[09:01] <khelpme> Can someone maybe help me w/ this: I just built this system - i have 2 optical drives (one is cd rw, the other is dvd r) -- i want to boot from the dvd, but it doesn't appear to be resovlable as bootable option :-/
[09:01] <Gnea> White-Horse: Ubuntu has never dropped nvidia support.
[09:01] <satya> hello
[09:01] <White-Horse> yes they did
[09:01] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: Yes, but I'm not sure if it will help, and it will make Ubuntu unbootable.
[09:01] <chalcedony> i'm trying to get kopete on ubuntu 10.04 -- i downloaded kopete, and libjasper-runtime - but it won't start. i have a pastebin if someone can help?
[09:01] <White-Horse> there is no nvidia linux priority driver in ubuntu 10.04
[09:01] <Gnea> White-Horse: no it hasn't, you're just doing it wrong.
[09:01] <satya> how to recover commands in the history after delete?
[09:01] <Gnea> White-Horse: again, wrong.
[09:01] <satya> how to recover commands in the history after delete?
[09:02] <mage7> White-Horse: It is the same with Windows as well..when you install windows you have to use Windows update to download the nvidia drivers
[09:02] <Gnea> White-Horse: what method are you trying to use to install the driver?
[09:02] <White-Horse> when i scan for drivers ubuntu says none are in use/found
[09:02] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, will you be able to tell me how? It's a risk I'm willing to take.
[09:02] <Gnea> White-Horse: 'when i scan' <-- what does that mean?
[09:02] <ruan_> satya: which commands in which history?
[09:02] <White-Horse> under sys admin hardware drivers
[09:03] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, I'd love to remove Linux but I need it. I need both Linux and Windows equally. Getting them to co-exist just causes me trouble though.
[09:03] <White-Horse> just like i did in 9.10
[09:03] <ruan_> lol, windows update never got me updated nvidia drivers
[09:03] <mage7> SealedWithAKiss you might end up in a situation without neither windows or ubuntu
[09:03] <Gnea> White-Horse: alright, what is the output of this command:  lspci | grep VGA
[09:03] <satya> ruan_: in ubuntu all of the commands previously run are stored in the history
[09:03] <mage7> *with
[09:03] <White-Horse> in fact 9.10 found the driver on its own
[09:03] <dhiren> Is anybody working on rails
[09:03] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: sudo apt-get install mbr; sudo install-mbr /dev/sda
[09:03] <dhiren> ??
[09:03] <satya> ruan_: i deleted with history -c. now how to recover it?
[09:03] <ruan_> satya: you mean terminal?
[09:04] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, assuming this ruins absolutely everything and I can't boot into either partition, a Live CD will help me right?
[09:04] <satya> ruan_: yes
[09:04] <Gnea> White-Horse: yes, well, I run a bunch of 10.04 systems and they all found the right driver for the nvidia cards on them.
[09:04] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: If that doesn't help though, seriously give up for now and go to a computer lab on campus or something.
[09:04] <White-Horse> it shows my video card
[09:04] <White-Horse> i am not on ubuntu atm
[09:04] <White-Horse> but i did all that before
[09:04] <Gnea> White-Horse: well, you should be
[09:05] <White-Horse> i can't cause i can not get my card to work lol
[09:05] <Gnea> White-Horse: we're here to offer support and to solve the problem, not act as your punching bag.
[09:05] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: Yes, follow this guide to restore grub: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[09:05] <Gnea> White-Horse: you can get into the gui without the driver, therefore you can.
[09:05] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, I have ran the commands. My fate now lies with the computer Gods.
[09:05] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: If your Ubuntu install is 64 bit you will need a 64 bit liveCD to follow that guide.
[09:05] <White-Horse> then why is all this stuff in the ubuntu fourms
[09:05] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, it is a 64-bit installation.
[09:05] <Gnea> White-Horse: without a url, your complaint is meaningless.
[09:06] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKiss: Again, if that doesn't help though, seriously give up for now and go to a computer lab on campus or something to finish your homework.
[09:06] <White-Horse> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[09:06] <Gnea> White-Horse: that's not a forum url, that's a wiki url.
[09:07] <White-Horse> ok 1 sec i find another
[09:07] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, right I'm taking her down for a reboot. If this works I'll come back onto IRC in a couple of minutes - if I'm not back on it's dead and I have resigned to travelling into university to the computer labs.
[09:07] <ruan_> good luck.
[09:07] <Gnea> White-Horse: those are typical instructions, did you try following them?
[09:07] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, thanks man.
[09:07] <SealedWithAKiss> Here goes....!
[09:09] <mage7> and with that SealedWithAKiss has set off on his perilous journey to Mount Doom
[09:09] <ruan_> mage7: maybe not yet
[09:09] <Gnea> I get the feeling that White-Horse is gui-dependent
[09:10] <White-Horse> no i use the terminal
[09:10] <White-Horse> as well
[09:10] <Gnea> oh
[09:10] <Gnea> so what would hold you back from getting on irc in ubuntu?
[09:10] <satya> ruan_: do u know how to recover it?
[09:10] <White-Horse> cause i do not have ubuntu installed atm
[09:11] <Gnea> then come back when you do have it installed
[09:11] <Gnea> it wouldn't hurt to install updates after you install, too
[09:12] <ruan_> satya: im not completely sure
[09:12] <Gnea> White-Horse: also, great program that can help with troubleshooting: pastebinit
[09:12] <mage7> in my opinion todays users cant be expected to use the terminal or rtfm for usual tasks
[09:12] <White-Horse> i used pastebin many times here
[09:12] <Gnea> White-Horse: seriously, get Ubuntu installed again, come on back, we'll help you get your nvidia to work properly.
[09:12] <White-Horse> ok
[09:12] <ruan_> shopt -s histappend
[09:12] <ruan_> PROMPT_COMMAND=`history -a`
[09:12] <White-Horse> but so many ppl here told me i need to use scripts etc.....
[09:13] <Gnea> White-Horse: also, are you using wubi or installing to a real partition?
[09:13] <White-Horse> and i need to mess around with vesa
[09:13] <Gnea> White-Horse: well, nvidia doesn't use vesa
[09:13] <Gnea> White-Horse: your choices of drivers: nv, nouveau, nvidia.  the 3rd one is the one you want to install.
[09:13] <White-Horse> i use the alt. cd to set up lvm
[09:14] <ruan_> satya: try that
[09:14] <Gnea> why do you need LVM?
[09:14] <White-Horse> to encrypt mt HDD's
[09:14] <White-Horse> my*
[09:14] <Gnea> okay
[09:14] <Gnea> well get your encryption sorted and come back
[09:14] <Gnea> there's usually someone with their head screwed on correctly in here that can help
[09:15] <White-Horse> thats 1 other thing it will not let me said up hardware raid 0
[09:15] <White-Horse> says only software raid 1 is supported
[09:15] <Gnea> usually myself, actionparsnip, Jordan_U, among others...
[09:15] <Gnea> well, you need a real hardware raid solution to do hardware raid
[09:15] <satya> ruan_: i got it with this command: cat /home/username/.bash_history
[09:16] <Gnea> and if you're going to do raid, might as well be hardware based
[09:16] <White-Horse> i have one
[09:16] <Gnea> software raid just plain sucks
[09:16] <White-Horse> i know
[09:16] <Gnea> :)
[09:16] <ruan_> satya:ok
[09:17] <Gnea> White-Horse: how many times have you done the whole lvm+encryption setup?
[09:17] <White-Horse> in fact it was actionparsnip that gave me a url to fix the boot up issues with ubuntu 10.04 and the nvidia driver proms.
[09:17] <Gnea> ah okay
[09:18] <linatrrix> how i can make cd image from installed Ubuntu Distro
[09:18] <Bohemian_Cow> Driver proms sounds romantic
[09:18] <White-Horse> he said he made alittle script to fix that
[09:18] <ruan_> .bash_history shows my learning timeline
[09:18] <Gnea> lol
[09:18] <White-Horse> i done the lvm+encryption since 8.04
[09:18] <Gnea> nice
[09:19] <Gnea> I think I tried it a couple times..... something got screwed up at somepoint and my home directory wouldn't fsck anymore
[09:19] <Gnea> so I tossed it and reinstalled
[09:19] <White-Horse> i never had that prom
[09:19] <White-Horse> it always works 100%
[09:19] <Gnea> eeprom?
[09:19] <White-Horse> trouble*
[09:20] <Gnea> yeah, 'prom' isn't recognizable as 'problem'
[09:20] <White-Horse> heh
[09:20] <White-Horse> its shorter to type
[09:20] <Gnea> I wonder if the alt cd isn't utilizing something that the desktop cd does
[09:20] <ruan_> prob also works
[09:20] <satya> ruan_: what is learning timeline
[09:21] <ruan_> satya: how i learned to use terminal
[09:21] <Gnea> yes, 'prob' makes more sense
[09:21] <ruan_> satya: a timeline of how i used terminal and learned to use it
[09:21] <White-Horse> ok well when i get my Dell Optiplex 780 i will try again with ubuntu 10.04 and come back here for help with the nvidia driver
[09:22] <Gnea> Dell's can be tricky, but they tend to 'just work' for the most part
[09:22] <White-Horse> as for now i will stay with the Dell Workstation T3400 on Windows Server
[09:22] <gibss37> when install ubuntu using free space it says no root file system is defined
[09:22] <Gnea> best oxymoron I've read all day
[09:23] <Gnea> well, I'm off to bed
[09:23] <ruan_> gibss37: i think you need to make a partition formatted as ext4
[09:23] <White-Horse> thank you Gnea :)
[09:23] <Gnea> White-Horse: good luck :)
[09:23] <POPEYE> yep
[09:23] <gibss37> when i try to make it an ext4 using gparted and then select it it says no swap memory selected
[09:23] <White-Horse> sorry for flaming but sometimes i just do not understand why things are done lol
[09:23] <White-Horse> i really do like ubuntu very much
[09:24] <Gnea> not a problem, you didn't go off the deep end with it
[09:24] <ruan_> gibss37: you might need a swap partition as well i guess
[09:24] <solaris0> #windows
[09:24] <POPEYE> how to get any network activity tray icon
[09:24] <POPEYE> &
[09:24] <POPEYE> ?
[09:24] <POPEYE> in xfce
[09:24] <FloodBot2> POPEYE: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:24] <ruan_> POPEYE: add to panel > system monitor
[09:24] <ruan_> xfce?
[09:24] <Gnea> White-Horse: most of the time, people come in here complaining about stuff and never stop to think that the more they complain, the worse their problem gets
[09:24] <gibss37> ruan_:  so what should i do, i am on windows, should i make two partitions one for swap and other for ubuntu
[09:24] <White-Horse> true
[09:24] <White-Horse> but thats also how you get change done
[09:25] <satya> ruan_: i got history in my machine. but i could not got in my client machine, with bash_history
[09:25] <White-Horse> if no one complains nothing gets done
[09:25] <Gnea> White-Horse: not around here, most of the time it results in expulsion
[09:25] <White-Horse> well maybe i will send an email to the makers of ubuntu :)
[09:25] <Gnea> heh
[09:26] <White-Horse> and ask them what the hell they are doing
[09:26] <POPEYE> " add to panel > system monitor" in xfce no those item
[09:26] <ruan_> what is xfce?
[09:26] <Gnea> that's what I've wondered too at times
[09:26] <Gnea> !xfce
[09:26] <ruan_> ah
[09:26] <ruan_> so there is xfce, gnome, and kde
[09:26] <satya> ruan_:   what is shopt -s histappend and PROMPT_COMMAND=history -a
[09:26] <White-Horse> i did read the reason for removing the driver is because ubuntu wants to be 100% open source
[09:26] <ruan_> satya: it brings history back if it hasn't been cleared
[09:27] <Gnea> White-Horse: well, it hasn't been removed from 10.04 or 10.10
[09:27] <Gnea> White-Horse: and that isn't really true - Debian is that way for sure
[09:27] <White-Horse> but at the same time ubuntu says it wants to be easy enough even for someone that never used linux before
[09:27] <Gnea> White-Horse: but Ubuntu strives to do what Debian can't and won't do
[09:28] <gibss37> is there a need of three differentpartitions namely : 1. root ( / ) in ext4  2. home (/home ) in ext4 and 3. swap
[09:28] <solaris0> :Gnea xfce is a type of window manager
[09:28] <ruan_> i find ubuntu easier than windows.
[09:28] <Gnea> solaris0: I know.
[09:29] <Gnea> anyway, as I said, it's sleepy time
[09:29] <Gnea> later
[09:29] <White-Horse> well i must be crazy because when i use on 9.10 ubuntu found the nvidia driver on its own and installed and config X on it own now with 10.04 it does not do that anymore
[09:29] <Madpilot> gibss37, that's the usual partition setup, yes
[09:29] <satya> ruan_:   what is PROMPT_COMMAND=history -a
[09:29] <ruan_> satya: im not sure, i googled for that
[09:29] <ikonia> White-Horse: you always have to enable the nvidia video module manually with the drivers tool
[09:29] <ikonia> White-Horse: that has been the case in every release.
[09:29] <White-Horse> not in 9.10
[09:29] <gibss37> Madpilot:  so which one should i use for installing  from those three
[09:30] <ikonia> White-Horse: yes, in 9.10 the propritary nvidia modules won't get enabled unless you tell it do
[09:30] <ciesco> hi
[09:30] <White-Horse> in 9.10 ubuntu asked you if you wanted to installed the driver
[09:30] <Madpilot> gibss37, which one what? your system lives in /, your own files in /home, swap is, well, swap. All three are in use.
[09:30] <White-Horse> in 10.04 it does not evne find it .
[09:30] <White-Horse> even*
[09:30] <ikonia> White-Horse: yes, so you selected "yes" therefore enabling it
[09:31] <ikonia> White-Horse: what video card is it?
[09:31] <mage7> I still don't understand White-Horse's difficulty exactly ..was he trying to do something technical....my ubuntu installed pretty much out of the box except for nvidia drivers but that was just 2 clicks away at System>Administration>Additional drivers...I am noob to linux and it didnt require anything else
[09:31] <White-Horse> eVGA GT 430
[09:31] <gibss37> no i am saying when it says to select a partition to install ubuntu, where should point the setup
[09:31] <ikonia> White-Horse: is that card supported by the current Nvidia driver modules ?
[09:31] <ruan_> for me it came up with the option to install drivers and i installed current.
[09:31] <White-Horse> yes
[09:31] <ikonia> White-Horse: how do you know ?
[09:31] <ruan_> and it works perfectly
[09:31] <White-Horse> i checked
[09:31] <ikonia> White-Horse: where ?
[09:31] <amok> hey people. where I can set PATH for superuser ?
[09:32] <White-Horse> right from nvidia website
[09:32] <amok> /home/amok/.bashrc ?
[09:32] <ikonia> so when you go to the additional drivers menu, does it offer you an nvidia module to install ?
[09:32] <White-Horse> i have never seen that additional drivers menu in ubuntu 10.04
[09:33] <White-Horse> i only see hardware drivers
[09:33] <ruan_> not under system > admin > additional drivers?
[09:33] <ikonia> White-Horse: it's in system->administration
[09:33] <ikonia> White-Horse: hardware drivers is the tool
[09:33] <ikonia> White-Horse: does that offer you an nvidia driver ?
[09:33] <White-Horse> i do not know because i never seen that
[09:34] <gibss37> like i have 4 gb of ram so do i need 8 gb swap
[09:34] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, the machine died. R.I.P.
[09:34] <White-Horse> i look for drivers the same way i did in 9.10
[09:34] <ikonia> White-Horse: ok, I suggest you look in the hardware drivers menu
[09:34] <cvrse> is there anyway to name the virtual desktops while running compiz?
[09:34] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, I'm using a friends netbook.#
[09:34] <Madpilot> White-Horse, it's System->Admin->Hardware Drives on 9.10 as well, though.
[09:34] <ikonia> White-Horse: look for drivers using the tool I've just told you
[09:35] <White-Horse> yes but soon as i scan for driver 9.10 found them right away
[09:35] <ikonia> White-Horse: look for drivers using the tool I've just told you
[09:35] <Fleck> hello, have ubuntu 10.10 server, have set up bridge in interfaces and dhcpd3 - problem is - dhcpd3 tries to start up before bridge is ready... and never gets started on starup...
[09:35] <Fleck> any ideas?
[09:35] <White-Horse> 10.04 does not
[09:35] <mage7> The name on 10.10 is System>Admin > Additional drivers
[09:35] <ikonia> White-Horse: look for drivers using the tool I've just told you
[09:35] <ledah> hi anyone knows how i can install a different version of a program without losing the old one?
[09:35] <amok> FUCK ! IDIOTS !! I ASKED: WHERE I CAN CHANGE PATH ??
[09:35] <ikonia> w/hois amok
[09:35] <ruan_> that was fast.
[09:36] <White-Horse> ok i will give it try thank you all for your help on this have a good night/day
[09:37] <gibss37> anybody?
[09:37] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, machine died.
[09:37] <koodough> gibss37: what was your question
[09:37] <bivo> where does flash <IP_ADDRESS> keep the loaded videos? It used to keep them in /tmp
[09:37] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: cant boot at all?
[09:37] <gibss37> koodough: I have 4gb of ram do i need 8 gb swap
[09:38] <ruan_> gibss37: depends what you're going to do
[09:38] <koodough> gibss37: what are you using the computer for? Mostly the answer is no
[09:38] <ruan_> !swap | gibss37
[09:38] <bivo> gibss37 for 99.999% of people, no
[09:39] <gibss37> i would be using ubuntu for only running apache for my website
[09:39] <gibss37> so how much swap i should go for
[09:39] <ikonia> gibss37: it really depends on your machine, and how many hits you'll get
[09:39] <koodough> gibss37: meh. Really up to you. I would put 2gb for the heck of it
[09:40] <ruan_> personally i use no swap at all, but i do nothing ram-heavy
[09:40] <rumpe1> gibss37, if there's plenty of free space, just use some gigs for swap... for worst cases
[09:40] <koodough> gibss37: you probably won't use it for a apache server
[09:40] <gibss37> koodough:  why ?
[09:41] <gibss37> i dont want have a vps on ther systems
[09:41] <rumpe1> gibss37, you can always add swap-files to swap-space manually ... if you think you need more
[09:42] <jatt> today I uninstalled openoffice, office on a windows virtual machine is way faster
[09:42] <koodough> gibss37: Harddrive are so big today that 2gb for swap isn't a problem. You dont have to have any, which some of my system don't. Apache doesn't use much ram so I would not worry
[09:42] <eoss> hello trying to install this rapidsvn but getting this error configure: error: APR is required. Try --with-apr-config.
[09:42] <jatt> openoffice should improve its performance if they want to compete
[09:42] <FLeiXiuS> In 9.04 how to I create a mingetty autologin?
[09:43] <rumpe1> jatt, this is off-topic and you can hardly compete with someone, who does it for free....
[09:43] <ruan_> jatt: how so?
[09:43] <gibss37> i have 500gigs
[09:43] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, nopeee. Nothing. Not even Ubuntu now.
[09:43] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, I'm on a friends netbook at the minute.
[09:43] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: livecd is the only way to boot ubuntu off that machine then
[09:45] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER - The selected file could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt: \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr
[09:45] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: mbr is corrupt?
[09:46] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, that's what it says.
[09:46] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: i dont get why windows boot manager complains about grub being corrupt
[09:46] <ikonia> ruan_: because it's a wubi install
[09:46] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, I know lol
[09:47] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, I own an expensive doorstop now.
[09:49] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: is it possible to get into any terminal? or windows recovery console?
[09:49] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, nothing. It wants a CD.
[09:49] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: can't boot off a flash usb?
[09:50] <bivo> where does flash <IP_ADDRESS> keep the loaded videos? It used to keep them in /tmp
[09:50] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, You need to use EasyBCD to create a bootable USB on another Windows machine. Then copy the contents of the ISO you downloaded from our ISO to the USB, and use EasyBCD to add a WinPE entry pointing to the .WIM file on the USB. Apparently.
[09:50] <dhiren> can somebody tell me how to install os using pen drive
[09:50] <ikonia> !install | dhiren
[09:50] <stuart> i have returned with my grub2 issue...why am i getting a "grub>" prompt when i power on my laptop instead of a list of kernels?
[09:51] <dhiren> thanks
[09:51] <ikonia> stuart: probably because it is pointing at the wrong partition for the grub.conf file
[09:51] <ikonia> !grub2 > stuart
[09:51] <ikonia> stuart: check out the link ubottu's just pm'd to you it will walk you through re-configuring grub
[09:51] <ruan_> SealedWithAKiss: the last step is confusing
[09:51] <introuble> i just bought dell d610 laptop , i think it too hot after half an hour. i downloaded speedfan utility it shows hdd temp 20 in begining and reaches 45 c. but the 'temp1' constantly shows 65c at start and so onn.. why is that so and why it gets hot ?
[09:51] <stuart> do you mean grub.cfg file?
[09:52] <ikonia> stuart: read the link ubottu just sent you
[09:52] <SealedWithAKiss> ruan_, good job I backed up for the first time in my life like 4 hours ago.
[09:52] <cvrse> is there anyway to name the virtual desktops while running compiz?
[09:52] <ruan_> floodbot quits?
[09:52] <ikonia> ignore it

[09:54] <maxlo> Hi
[09:54] <maxlo> is there a way to change/configure the gdm theme?
[09:54] <maxlo> it is ok if I need to edit text files. I only need to change/customize the theme
[09:54] <maxlo> i am using gdm 2.30, under 10.04
[09:54] <ruan_> what exactly is gdm?
[09:55] <ikonia> ruan_: gnome desktop manager, the login box
[09:55] <ikonia> or display manager, I can't remember
[09:55] <ruan_> ok
[09:55] <linatrrix> how i can make cd image from installed Ubuntu Distro
[09:55] <ikonia> linatrrix: you don't really do that
[09:55] <ikonia> linatrrix: custom spins aren't something we support
[09:56] <keyns> i had to delete my favorite porn to download ubuntu
[09:56] <ruan_> lol
[09:57] <stuart> i have looked at this website several times and it doesn't have any information that has been specific enough to let me solve the problem
[09:57] <ikonia> keyns: don't need to hear about it
[09:57] <ikonia> stuart: first question are you using any raid disks ?
[09:57] <stuart> no, single hard drive, one OS never installed anything but ubuntu
[09:58] <ikonia> stuart: so there is no other OS on it, just ubuntu ?
[09:58] <stuart> yup
[09:58] <ikonia> stuart: ok, how many partitions on the disk ?
[09:59] <stuart> not sure, command line command to assess this?
[09:59] <dhiren> I have only one partiton on disk and i want to install one more os . can somebody help me with this
[10:00] <ikonia> stuart: pastebin the output of "sudo fisk -l" please
[10:00] <ikonia> dhiren: you just need to resize that partition to make space, create a new partition and install the OS there
[10:01] <dhiren> how to resize
[10:01] <ikonia> dhiren: use a tool such as gparted, but you'll have to do it from the livecd as your partition will be in use
[10:02] <stuart> http://paste.ubuntu.com/573863/
[10:02] <dhiren> ok..can i make one more parition with it
[10:02] <ikonia> dhiren: if you have space, sure
[10:02] <ikonia> dhiren: if not make space as I just told you
[10:02] <dhiren> i have space
[10:02] <ikonia> stuart: that's great, that looks simple
[10:02] <ikonia> dhiren: make one then
[10:03] <stuart> yeah, pretty stripped down laptop at this point...also makes me think the solution will be simple
[10:03] <dhiren> ikonia:thanks
[10:03] <ikonia> stuart: you're running on a livecd now ?
[10:03] <stuart> no, i used supergrub2disk to boot...i can also enter in a bunch of stuff at the prompt to boot manually as well, but that is slow
[10:04] <ikonia> stuart: use an ubuntu live cd so we use the correct grub versions to restore
[10:05] <stuart> hmm...not possible to do without the live CD?  I only ask, because doing things in the live environment is pretty slow
[10:05] <Jordan_U> ikonia: Super GRUB2 Disk boots the actual installed system, so it's better in that respect than a liveCD.
[10:05] <ikonia> stuart: that's just a fact of life, you need to use the right tools with the right versions
[10:05] <ikonia> Jordan_U: it's booting from his hard disk ?
[10:05] <Jordan_U> ikonia: Yes.
[10:05] <ikonia> oh, cool
[10:05] <ikonia> stuart: there you go then, that's good
[10:06] <jnjnjn> Anyone have time to help me ASAP? My system says "An error occurred while mounting" when i try to boot
[10:06] <ikonia> Jordan_U: thank you
[10:06] <Jordan_U> ikonia: You're welcome.
[10:06] <ikonia> stuart: so work through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub this guide until the part where you mount your disks
[10:06] <stuart> i'm sorry i didn't realize that it wasn't clear that i am working in the proper booted OS
[10:06] <jnjnjn> last thing i remember doing was mounting a ftp through nautilus
[10:06] <ruan_> jnjnjn: looks like something happened to fstab
[10:07] <SealedWithAKisss> ruan_, right I'm back on the machine. I'm on a Live USB - Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition.
[10:07] <jnjnjn> ruan_ my fstab looks normal
[10:07] <stuart> doesn't matter that i never installed windows?
[10:07] <jnjnjn> syays though UIID=45058d9d-4ef2-4ccf-b587-0eba53e61d06 / ext4 error=remount -ro 0 1
[10:07] <jnjnjn> says though *
[10:07] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, things didn't go too well. I'm not on a Live USB. I can't boot into either Windows or Ubuntu now.
[10:07] <SealedWithAKisss> Now *
[10:08] <ruan_> jnjnjn: error=remount. so it wont let you pass without mounting?
[10:08] <ikonia> stuart: hang on I'll get you a better link
[10:08] <jnjnjn> ruan_ yes that drive is where my filesystem is on
[10:08] <Abhinav1> unfortunately I changed the permission of /var folder to 777 and now I am not able to open phpmyadmin :( how to reset the permission
[10:09] <ruan_> jnjnjn: ah. is it UIID or UUID?
[10:09] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, is there a way to 'undo' the MBR commands I issued?
[10:09] <jnjnjn> In my fstab it says UUID
[10:09] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, by perhaps mounting the file sytem and chrooting into it?
[10:09] <Abhinav1> or what should be permission of /var folder
[10:09] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKisss: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[10:09] <jnjnjn> ruan_ think that UUID is correct
[10:10] <ruan_> jnjnjn: are you on the machine?
[10:10] <jnjnjn> ruan_ i have booted from livecd and mounted the filesystem so i can edit the files
[10:11] <ikonia> stuart: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 scroll down to rescue mode
[10:13] <stuart> seen it
[10:13] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, how I identify my boot partition from the fdisk -l list?
[10:13] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, the one with an asterisk in the boot column?
[10:13] <jatt> my laptop temperature is:
[10:13] <jatt> Thermal 2: ok, 74.0 degrees C
[10:13] <jatt> too high (idle)?
[10:14] <Abhinav1> SealedWithAKisss: yep
[10:14] <stuart> if i understood the /etc/default/grub and grub.cfg files better i might under stand the source of the problem...i assume that something is wrong in one or both of these files
[10:14] <jnjnjn> ruan_ i have irc on another computer so if you have any suggestions i can run them on my machine
[10:14] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, I cannot mount the boot partition. It's also the partition containing Windows. I receive an error when mounting.
[10:14] <stuart> however, looking at them, they seem normal
[10:15] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKisss: You don't have a separate /boot partition.
[10:15] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, ah. Thanks.
[10:16] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKisss: You're welcome.
[10:16] <bruce> hello
[10:16] <jqke> Hi guys, i'm running ubuntu 10.04 and i modified my fstab so it can mount my windows partition. Now i have 2 shortcuts for the same partition. Any idea how to fix it ?
[10:16] <Sinblade27> i have a question for something strange .. i had 2 hdd  with bout connected ubuntu gets  stuck  and doesn't pass over grub on install ... with only one  evrything works perfect
[10:17] <Sinblade27> what is the problem ?
[10:17] <Sinblade27> sorry about my english
[10:17] <Jordan_U> stuart: Just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc -pcritical"
[10:18] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, I encounter a problem with "sudo chroot /mnt" - chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[10:19] <ikonia> sorry, just on the phone, Jordan_U that's a much better solution than I was doing
[10:19] <shaghost> Is security.ubuntu.com down for apt-get?
[10:19] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKisss: Then you mounted the wrong partition.
[10:19] <Sinblade27> by the way  any good link to bitchx  i didn't succeded to launch on ubuntu x64
[10:19] <stuart> i've run that line except without the "-pcritical"...what's the difference?
[10:19] <Jordan_U> stuart: With -pcritical it doesn't ask any configuration questions,
[10:20] <andrewtaylor> hi, I'm trying to help someone with an ubuntu system and I'm struggling to get my head around where different services are being started at boot. I presume it's being handled by upstart. How do I disable upstart services?
[10:20] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, spot on. I mounted dev/sda2 rather than dev/sda7.
[10:20] <shaghost> is http://security.ubuntu.com/ down just for me or everyone
[10:20] <stuart> i believe this means that it won't solve the problem
[10:20] <jnjnjn> ruan_ sorry im impatient, think you can help me out?
[10:21] <jnjnjn> im in a pinch here :)
[10:21] <addikt1ve> hi
[10:21] <addikt1ve> hi
[10:21] <ruan_> jnjnjn: i don't think i'll be able to help, but someone else may be able to
[10:21] <jnjnjn> ok
[10:21] <addikt1ve> usb-creator fails repeatedly
[10:21] <addikt1ve> is there any ubuntu .img?
[10:21] <jnjnjn> can i run nautilus from a mounted filesystem?
[10:22] <ruan_> jnjnjn: all i can think of is using "sudo fdisk -l" and verifying some data
[10:22] <Jordan_U> stuart: Why do you think that?
[10:22] <addikt1ve> is there any ubuntu .img?
[10:22] <addikt1ve> I wish I could keep it simple
[10:22] <addikt1ve> dd if=ubuntu.img of=/dev/sdb
[10:22] <addikt1ve> would be great.
[10:23] <stuart> i have executed that command before
[10:23] <stianhj> addikt1ve, just use the .iso file
[10:23] <Sinblade27> just found  the problem with my hangups ..  seems that those hdd  woren't compatible with eachoter and droped speed ... so  i found an easy fix ... removed  one hdd
[10:23] <stuart> and i'm still experiencing the problem
[10:23] <addikt1ve> stianhj: dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb ?
[10:23] <stianhj> addikt1ve, yes
[10:23] <addikt1ve> stianhj: does it really work?
[10:23] <coz_> hey all
[10:23] <Jordan_U> stuart: Can you pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc"?
[10:23] <karla> addikt1ve, if usb creator keeps failing unetbootin might work
[10:24] <jnjnjn> ruan_ it all happed after i tried to mount a ftp drive through nautilus (i think thats the source of evil anyways)
[10:24] <stianhj> addikt1ve, yes
[10:24] <Wizek> Hi there!
[10:24] <jnjnjn> ruan_ maybe i need to unmount that drive, thats why im asking if i can run nautilus from a mounted filesystem
[10:24] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, "sudo umount /dev/sda2" causes a device is busy error.
[10:25] <addikt1ve> karla: unetbootin is total bullshit
[10:25] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, similarly does "sudo umount /mnt"
[10:25] <addikt1ve> thanks stianhj I'm doing it right now
[10:25] <stuart> http://paste.ubuntu.com/573871/
[10:25] <shaghost> is there a easy way to do find and replace in a file in terminal
[10:25] <nash__> yes wizek
[10:25] <iceroot> shaghost: sed
[10:25] <iceroot> shaghost: or directly in your editor like vim
[10:26] <addikt1ve> shaghost: sed -i file 's/lol/wat/g'
[10:26] <addikt1ve> will replace any "lol" by "wat" in file
[10:27] <jnjnjn> Need help ASAP so i can get back to work, here is link to my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10507980#post10507980
[10:27] <keyns> ubuntu dl with 100 kb/sec :S
[10:27] <shaghost> addikt1ve: Thanks!
[10:27] <addikt1ve> np shaghost
[10:27] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKisss: fuser /mnt/ to see what process is using files on that filesystem.
[10:27] <shaghost> keyns: i get 5-10 times that to my normal server
[10:27] <Wizek> I've made a USB live cd of Ubuntu 10.10 with the Universal USB Installer ubuntu.com has recommended me. It works fine except one little thing: It discads all my changes I make to it when I restart or shut down. How can I enaple the saving of settings, preferences, installed packages etc? So that it behaves much like a persistent installatiomn not a Live CD, but still is bootable from my flash.
[10:27] <keyns> shaghost what can be problem im l from ubuntu.com
[10:27] <keyns> i have 450 100%
[10:27] <keyns> 450 kb/sex
[10:27] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, no ouput.
[10:27] <keyns> sec lol
[10:28] <Jordan_U> Wizek: If it's large enough, do a normal install.
[10:28] <karla> keyns, the subconscious, powerful thing :)
[10:28] <mapreduce> Hi.  I have a monitor plugged into a PC running Ubuntu and the monitor says "signal over range".  Restarting X (sudo restart gdm) via ssh doesn't seem to affect it.
[10:28] <Wizek> Jordan_U: 4 GB
[10:28] <mapreduce> The same monitor works fine plugged into my MacBook Pro (at least under Windows).
[10:28] <Wizek> Jordan_U: That's sufficient, isn't it?
[10:28] <mapreduce> Any suggestions?
[10:28] <A_I_> Hello, I can't find 'amap' anympore on Ubuntu, the Amap scanning tool has been replaced by amap-align which is different (a Protein multiple alignment by sequence annealing)
[10:28] <Jordan_U> Wizek: That wouldn't leave too much room for documents but is more than enough for Ubuntu itself.
[10:29] <A_I_> where can I find amap back ?
[10:29] <stianhj> jnjnjn, i *think*, change the -ro in fstab file to -rw ? would make sense
[10:29] <keyns> karla? :))
[10:29] <stuart> Jordan_U: Thoughts?
[10:29] <shaghost> i just did apt-get upgrade and getting 5,580kB/sec
[10:29] <shaghost> err
[10:29] <shaghost> now in mb/sec
[10:29] <jnjnjn> stianhj ok will try
[10:30] <Wizek> Jordan_U: That's not too good news, as I'd like to install other things as well... Isn't there a way to enable "saving" in this current install?
[10:30] <keyns> hm wow 10 guys ask help in 1 min help that jnjnjn guy he needs help to continue work
[10:30] <ruan_> odd, i have -ro and it works fine
[10:30] <Jordan_U> stuart: sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy
[10:30] <keyns> ubuntu here i come! hope it wont hurt
[10:30] <shaghost> Admintly i am running on campus, and it is 5 jumps to a internet-2 server
[10:30] <shaghost> with unlimited bandwith to it
[10:31] <karla> keyns, that's me :)
[10:31] <stuart> k, done, should i try a reboot?
[10:31] <tap-out> Hi , i get this error  after installing vm-open-tools   " fatal : Module vmhgfs not found" ,  Module vmmemctl not found.
[10:32] <addikt1ve> stianhj: bullshit, it doesn't boot...
[10:32] <ruan_> !language | addikt1ve
[10:33] <jnjnjn> stianhj i changed my fstab to UIID=45058d9d-4ef2-4ccf-b587-0eba53e61d06 / ext4 -rw 0 1    same problem though
[10:33] <karla> tap-out, do you have kernel headers installed?
[10:33] <tap-out> i am not sure
[10:33] <stianhj> jnjnjn, that was just a wild guess
[10:33] <stianhj> addikt1ve, and that has worked fine for me, so i don't know what to tell ya
[10:33] <tap-out> karla, how to check
[10:33] <addikt1ve> I don't think it did stianhj
[10:33] <Wizek> So, my question is rather this: How can I set up persistence on a flash drive if it has been set up with no persistence? I've heard that I have to do something with the casper-rw file, but I don't have that one...
[10:33] <addikt1ve> I think you suck
[10:33] <addikt1ve> thanks, however
[10:33] <tap-out> karla, wait
[10:34] <Wizek> (usb live system)
[10:34] <Jordan_U> stuart: I actually misunderstood that output, while upgrade-from-grub-legacy won't hurt anything I don't think it was required.
[10:34] <tap-out> karla , yes installed
[10:35] <tap-out> any other suggestion
[10:35] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, I gave up trying to umount /mnt and mounted the actual partition (/dev/sda7) to /mnt1. Again I issued "sudo chroot /mnt1" and received the same 'bin/bash' error.
[10:35] <karla> /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build must point to a valid directory, but also it might be that the module is incompatible with your kernel version
[10:35] <Jordan_U> SealedWithAKisss: If the partition doesn't have /bin/bash then it's not the partition you want.
[10:35] <keyns> ubuntu for windows installer is good?
[10:35] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/H5Ktn9PF

[10:36] <nash__> how to install ubuntu10.10 under windows
[10:36] <SealedWithAKisss> Jordan_U, I have tried /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda7. Where else could it be?
[10:36] <stianhj> jnjnjn, remove the - sign, it's rw not -rw
[10:36] <keyns> nash go ubuntu.com

[10:39] <keyns> sry i ll have pm with bot :)
[10:40] <Jordan_U> stuart: Assuming you did run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc -pcritical" which will run grub-install and update-grub.
[10:40] <stuart> i have run that several times to no avail, so i'm not sure why it would work now
[10:40] <stuart> but i will reboot and see what happens
[10:41] <xxd_> hi all
[10:41] <Jordan_U> stuart: If you do have more than one drive then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and make sure that all your drives (and *no* partitions) are included as install devices.
[10:41] <keyns> why im getting ubuntu 10.10 with 50 kb /sec? :S
