[15:11] <chombee> Darael: Just googled, sounds like that got removed
[15:12] <cba123> GaryD, So that's your issue, the iso you created.  But *please* I will not respond wthout an attempt at better grammar.  1 punctuation mark, and spaces after them.
[15:12] <Darael> chombee: You sure?  I used it in Maverick quite recently, they must have put it back in.  Drop to a root shell and rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead.
[15:12] <zerty> what i have to do exactly ? Darael
[15:13] <cba123> GaryD, "i used devede to convert the avi to iso....it has never made that beep appear in any movie i've converted before...why would it now???" should be "I used devede to convert the avi to iso...  It has never made that beep appear in any movie I've converted before...  Why would it now?" before I will respond again.
[15:13] <IdleOne> cba123: Please consider that not everybody first language is English.
[15:13] <chombee> Darael: Is xfix a menu option or a command?
[15:13] <Darael> chombee: A menu option.
[15:13] <Darael> zerty: I don't know, sorry, it was just an idea.
[15:13] <GaryD> cbe123: forget about my grammar...my sentences aren't started with a capital letter either...so...if you can't help me...leave me alone...
[15:14] <chombee> Darael: Well it;s missing here on 9.10 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1324493
[15:14] <GaryD> ....
[15:14] <Darael> chombee: Fair enough, we'll try another fix.  Choose the "drop to root shell" option.
[15:14] <p1l0t> Hehe I updated the system time and the screensaver came on..  I don't see any reason why you would get a beep from the file you burned.
[15:15] <chombee> Darael: I just deleted xorg.conf and rebooted and X is back. I think there is not supposed to be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, when he edited settings in the GUI it created a bad one
[15:15] <Darael> chombee: That sounds about right.  There can be, but X mostly autoconfigures these days.
[15:15] <cba123> IdleOne, Yes, but one question mark as opposed to 3 isn't mastery of the English language, as I don't know of any language where that is correct.  The rest of his sentences seem fine, wording is fine, not grammar.
[15:16] <delocated> I broke something. I no longer can use nm-applet for wifi. no connections show up. how do I fix this? eth0 comes up when pluged in
[15:16] <bdesk> why did ubuntu change my /etc/hosts by adding myserver.myuni.edu as <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[15:16] <delocated> last time I moded state file. but all seems correct
[15:16] <GaryD> IdleOne: i never had this issue before when i ran gnome....now i am using lxde...can it be that lxde doesn't play well with devede???
[15:16] <cba123> IdleOne, But this isn't english class, I will simply mute/ignore, as he seems not to appreciate me helping him deduce that his iso has the beeps, not simply the DVD player.
[15:16] <bdesk> I guess networkmanager did this.  can I just delete it?  it's screwing up my apps.
[15:17] <delocated> Hey its root!
[15:17] <mark_> lxde is in my opinion undermanned
[15:17] <IdleOne> GaryD: you might try asking in #lubuntu if they have heard of anything like this before.
[15:17] <mark_> , in effect only one developer
[15:17] <cba123> mrcreativity, Did that work?
[15:17] <mark_> , i would not recommend it
[15:17] <creichen> Hello!  I've been having issues with the ipw2100 driver on 10.04.1 (`Failed to start the card').  It worked fine on the previous installation (7.04).  I tried several kernel versions, all of which fail, so I'm inclined to blame the firmware.  Are there alternative firmware packages available?
[15:17] <Darael> bdesk: That's not a networkmanager thing, AIUI nm doesn't use /etc/hosts.  But you should be able to remove the line if it's causing you problems.
[15:18] <IdleOne> cba123: much appreciated :) let us focus more on Ubuntu support and a little less on English.
[15:18] <bdesk> on irc we are grammar nazis first and topic-specific helpers second
[15:18] <GaryD> IdleOne: i will try...they are unusually quiet over there.
[15:19] <mark_> spelin nazees ar wurst
[15:19] <IdleOne> bdesk: in Ubuntu channels we do our best to help. topic is more important here.
[15:19] <zerty> 	i create a folder with chmod 777 on /var/www/folderx, i also create a new user : user1
[15:19] <zerty> 	the user1 can access to my server over ftp
[15:19] <zerty> 	but he can't able to write anything on folderx ?
[15:19] <zerty> 	what could be the problem ?
[15:19] <FloodBot2> zerty: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:20] <bdesk> zerty: can they scp somehting to the folder?
[15:21] <bdesk> can they create something in the folder as a user by logging into the machine instead of over ftp?
[15:21] <ZykoticK9> zerty, what is your server ftp or web?  a web server isn't going to accept uploads from ftp (at least not by default!)
[15:21] <zerty> ssh working well
[15:21] <zerty> vsftpd
[15:21] <zerty> server web apache
[15:21] <zerty> it was working well two days before
[15:21] <zerty> but not now
[15:22] <llutz_> zerty: check your documentation for changes
[15:22] <zerty> to change what ?
[15:22] <llutz_> zerty: changes taken place in the last 2 days
[15:23] <zerty> nothing has changes
[15:24] <zerty> and also the root can't able to access over ftp
[15:24] <zerty> i don't know why
[15:24] <zerty> ssh working ffine
[15:24] <llutz_> zerty: be sure that _something_ has changed. otherwise it still would work. This is not voodoo
[15:24] <tim> ok so i have been having this issue for some time now. dvds won't play. using vlc or totem. whats wrong?
[15:25] <ZykoticK9> zerty, the root user shouldn't be able to ftp - so perhaps vsftpd is smart enough to prevent root login (ftp sends passwords in clear text over the internet)
[15:26] <bdesk> zerty: you should use sftp instead of ftp, right?
[15:26] <zerty> and my client ftp is filezilla
[15:26] <allu2> Hello, i installed ubuntu netbook edition on my desktop computer, after boot it worked fine and as normal i went to jockey-gtk to install nvidia 173 drivers, after that i rebooted and came to notice gdm doesn't start, i end up in terminal at tty1, i figured its because of nvidia drivers and i renamed xorg.conf and got to X, in X my mouse refuses to work and it says i don't have eth0(or wlan0 when i add my wlan adapter) so i can't do
[15:27] <ZykoticK9> tim, you can see my dvd notes at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback
[15:27] <allu2> any idea how to fix this so that i could use nvidia 173 drivers on the installation and have my mouse and networking work (this used to run ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition, no problems with anything)
[15:28] <shuduo> would anyone point me how to build vanilla kernel in ubuntu?
[15:29] <ZykoticK9> shuduo, from the !kernel factoid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[15:30] <EvilRoey> Oh hai.  I have a setup with an NVidia card and the KDE 4.6 second beta.  How do I make the monitor to the left the primary one?  Right now when I scroll the mouse to the leftmost edge of the left monitor, it wraps to the rightmost edge of the right one.  I'd like to just be able to move the mouse across both desktops through the middle.
[15:30] <MAZEFOK> Hey ?
[15:30] <MAZEFOK> WTF ?
[15:31] <spencer_> HI mazefok, can we help you?
[15:31] <shuduo> ZykoticK9, i use to use so call "old fashion" way to build it. it worked before. but it does not work now
[15:31] <EvilRoey> Mike what's up
[15:31] <erUSUL> !kernel | shuduo
[15:31] <ZykoticK9> EvilRoey, in nvidia-settings and the display section verify (or drag) the monitor so they are in the same location as your physical monitors.  then select the one you want as primary and add the checkbox to "make primary"

[15:32] <ZykoticK9> shuduo, sorry man, i've never bothered compiling a kernel on ubuntu.  best of luck.
[15:32] <erUSUL> shuduo: i use "vanilla" kernels all works ok ( lucid )
[15:32] <shuduo> erUSUL, do you use make-kpkg?
[15:32] <erUSUL> shuduo: no
[15:33] <EvilRoey> ZykoticK9:  that worked, thanks!!
[15:33] <shuduo> erUSUL, how you make it work? in vanilla kernel, there is no debian directory by default
[15:33] <erUSUL> shuduo: make && sudo make install && sudo make modules_install && sudo mkinitrd -o ....
[15:33] <ZykoticK9> EvilRoey, glad to help
[15:33] <rsukumar> anybody using mc here?
[15:33] <erUSUL> shuduo: like ten years ago ;P
[15:34] <rsukumar> just learning to use mc
[15:34] <shuduo> erUSUL, i know that. just wonder why make-kpkg do not work now and i use to use this way
[15:34] <sam-_-> rsukumar enable lynx style motion. it helps
[15:34] <shuduo> erUSUL, i am trying to use make deb-pkg now
[15:34] <rsukumar> sam-_-: gotta Q: how to change the default editor to view the extension file under command menu?
[15:34] <erUSUL> shuduo: never used it sorry
[15:35] <rsukumar> currently it's nano the default editor
[15:35] <rsukumar> i want to change it to vi
[15:35]  * allu2 feels ignored :(
[15:35] <shuduo> erUSUL, that's fine.
[15:36] <creichen> Hello again!  Is there an easy way to downgrade from 10.04.1 to 9.04?
[15:36] <creichen> rsukumar: This might be obtained from the EDITOR environment variable.
[15:36] <erUSUL> !downgrade
[15:36] <allu2> creichen: probably not, downgrading shoulnd't be supported :P
[15:36] <istok> creichen, you'd be better off doing a clean install of 9.04
[15:37] <rsukumar> creichen: I've tried: changing the EDITOR env variable
[15:37] <rsukumar> but didn't worked
[15:37] <rsukumar> I also have tried changing the bindings file under ~/.mc dir
[15:37] <creichen> istok: okay, thank you!
[15:37] <Darael> rsukumar: Changing your sensible-editor (with select-editor) may help.  No other ideas.
[15:37] <allu2> requesting help with ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition on desktop computer symtoms: no networking, no functionin mouse
[15:37] <IdleOne> creichen: 9.04 is no longer supported
[15:37] <IdleOne> !9.
[15:38] <IdleOne> !9.04
[15:38] <erUSUL> rsukumar: mc has its own editor afaik. mcedit
[15:38] <rsukumar> creichen: also tried update-alternatives
[15:38] <rsukumar> erUSUL: yeah, mcedit i don't like to use
[15:38] <rsukumar> erUSUL: hence want to use vi, my fave editor
[15:38] <bencc> in what file in a .deb package I  can create a system user?
[15:39] <creichen> rsukumar: what does /etc/alternatives/editor point to?
[15:39] <erUSUL> rsukumar: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/midnightcommander-set-vi-as-default-editor-viewer.html
[15:39] <allu2> Hello, i installed ubuntu netbook edition on my desktop computer, after boot it worked fine and as normal i went to jockey-gtk to install nvidia 173 drivers, after that i rebooted and came to notice gdm doesn't start, i end up in terminal at tty1, i figured its because of nvidia drivers and i renamed xorg.conf and got to X, in X my mouse refuses to work and it says i don't have eth0(or wlan0 when i add my wlan adapter) so i can't do

[15:39] <rsukumar> creichen: /etc/alternatives/editor -> /usr/bin/vim.gnome
[15:39] <Darael> bencc: You need to do it in the config scripts AIUI.  Read man adduser and look at the debian-package config script documentation.
[15:40] <sacarlson> bencc: you want to create a deb file that creates a user?  I think there is a script that is ran in the deb file
[15:40] <creichen> rsukumar: okay, in that case this is beyond the range of things I'm familiar with.  Sorry!  erUSUL's link sounds more promising.
[15:40] <rsukumar> erUSUL: i tried, but no help
[15:41] <nhck> Hi, how can I enable a rhythmbox-plugin from the commandline?
[15:41] <Darael> allu2: Several people seem to be having problems with nvidia in maverick.  Suggest using jockey-text to disable the restricted driver (nouveau is a usable replacement now).  No idea about networking.
[15:41] <rsukumar> creichen: np, thanks!
[15:41] <allu2> Darael: i removed the nvidia on mean time, but no change :(
[15:41] <Love> lala
[15:41] <allu2> i still can't use mouse nor networking
[15:42] <Darael> allu2: Hmm, not sure then, sorry.
[15:42] <allu2> Darael: :(
[15:42] <bencc> Darael: I want to look at existing package to see what kind of user I need to create. I'll look at the config script. thanks
[15:42] <bencc> sacarlson: thanks
[15:43] <rsukumar> but i remember the first time it asks for the editor as 'update-alternatives --config edit' does
[15:43] <bencc> Darael: ok. find adduser... in the postinst script of some package
[15:44] <bencahill> sam-_-: hey there :)

[15:45] <serard> Hello all, I cannot sudo anymore, after upgrading, what's going on ?
[15:45] <bencahill> sam-_-: sorry about that last night, I had to go real quick
[15:45] <sam-_-> bencahill np
[15:45] <bencahill> sam-_-: anyway, should it matter at all if I'm copying from an ext4 partition to an ext2? b/c I'll probably use ext2 on the flash drive...
[15:46] <bencahill> s/should it matter/does it make any difference/
[15:47] <sam-_-> bencahill, why should it?
[15:48] <ebeeb> Hi. machine won't boot - I think i need to re-install bootloader
[15:48] <bencahill> sam-_-: I don't know, just thought I'd check :)
[15:48] <eurythmia> I'm a command line junkie ... right now I'm looking for a way to open a file from the command line. Specifically, I'm looking for an application to automatically open a file using the appropriate file viewer based on either the file's mimetype, file extension, or `file $1` output.
[15:48] <sacarlson> bencc: this is the deb file broken down, what I found is scripts preinst and postinst in the control file http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html
[15:48] <ebeeb> can anyone guide me how to do that?
[15:48] <bencahill> sam-_-: so I should be able to copy the whole drive minus dev and sys while it's active?
[15:48] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 > ebeeb
[15:49] <eurythmia> I looked at mimeopen, but "aptitude search mimeopen" provides no results
[15:49] <sam-_-> and minus proc

[15:49] <PhoenixSTF> Xen hypervisor on 10.04, anyone manage to install and make it work?????
[15:49] <allu2> eurythmia: hum i recall using thunar to do things like "thunar /path/to/file/test.txt" and it opened it in default text editor
[15:49] <ebeeb> !grub2
[15:49] <ebeeb> ?
[15:49] <sam-_-> and minus /media and /mnt
[15:50] <allu2> eurythmia: perhaps works with nautilus?
[15:50] <bencahill> sam-_-: okay, and if I simply make new dirs for them on the new install, it will work?
[15:50] <nhck> I have rhythmbox installed and would like to enable rhythmpnp but I don't have a windows manager. How can I do that?
[15:50] <eurythmia> allan8904, I'll do a search to see what I can do with it. Thanks for the suggestion/
[15:50] <sam-_-> bencahill, you may need to change /etc/fstab
[15:50] <kyja> anyone have a good guide to getting php5 and apache to work right?
[15:50] <Guest78704> hi when I was using ubuntu, my screen suddenly go black and it happens every time I try to boot it but I am able to boot debian on second hd normaly, but I cant even boot ubuntu install disk, the screen always go black when I want to install it
[15:51] <sam-_-> bencahill, but then it should work
[15:51] <bencahill> sam-_-: right, I can manage that :)
[15:51] <bencahill> sam-_-: ok, I'm off to try it :)
[15:51] <PhoenixSTF> kyja: whats the problem?
[15:51] <sam-_-> bencahill good luck
[15:52] <sacarlson> kyja: my install of php5 and apache2 are working fine
[15:52] <Longer> witam!
[15:52] <eurythmia> allu2, sorry, that last message was meant for you.
[15:52] <kyja> PhoenixSTF, I don't even have a php file in www and localhost through firefox insists for me to download
[15:52] <Longer> ubuntu 10.10 and Nvidia Optimus ??
[15:52] <sacarlson> kyja: what application is it you are trying to run in your php5?
[15:52] <ebeeb> ZykoticK9: thank you
[15:52] <denysonique> kyja: don't use php
[15:53] <eurythmia> allu2, apparently nautilus doesn't have the functionality built in, but it uses "gnome-open" which can be called from the command line. Thanks; without your suggestion it would have taken me much longer to figure that out.
[15:53] <denysonique> kyja: use Django or Ruby On Rails
[15:53] <ZykoticK9> Guest78704, you might want to have a look at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[15:53] <denysonique> php sucks
[15:53] <PhoenixSTF> php is good

[16:02] <wwrive> Hi. Does anyone know how to disable the touchpad. I tried the instructions on Synapticstouchpad page
[16:02] <sima> !debian
[16:02] <sam-_-> bencahill if i understand you correctly it doesn't matter
[16:02] <sam-_-> bencahill yes use gparted
[16:02] <sayres> Is it with Mac Leopard 10.5 oracle Vm virtualbox 3.2  into the Ubuntu 10.10 install?:-$
[16:02] <llutz_> zerty: check /var/log/vsftpd.log   for errors why your user cannot write. double-check permissions again

[16:03] <PhoenixSTF> Xen hypervisor help, kernel problems!
[16:03] <complete> scrooloose: but how do i find it? i searched for "network" and other stuff but did not find the applet.
[16:03] <ZykoticK9> complete, perhaps right click - add to panel - notification area?
[16:03] <Maahes> I just killed
[16:03] <bonjoyee> !resetpanels > complete
[16:04] <complete> ZykoticK9: i cannot find "notification area". maybe because i have a german ubuntu?
[16:04] <complete> bonjoyee: i dont want to reset
[16:04] <complete> i just want the network-manager applet
[16:04] <bonjoyee> complete: that will restore the panels...u made any customisations?
[16:05] <sayres> Gets into your Mac Leopard 10.5  Ubuntu  10.10install? :-(
[16:05] <complete> bonjoyee: yes. i customized my panels.
[16:06] <bonjoyee1> complete: sorry...excuse me!
[16:06] <sacarlson> complete: I deleted network-manger so I can't see what the name is in add applets with right click on control panel,  can someone tell him the name
[16:06] <D3ath101> how do i auto identify?
[16:06] <erUSUL> sacarlson: nm is not in that list.
[16:07] <sacarlson> erUSUL: so what applet is added to have it?  I don't use it so I don't know
[16:07] <sayres> Any chance that the Mac 10.5 Leopard to be installed into ubuntu 10.10?:-!
[16:07] <erUSUL> sacarlson: you run nm-applet and it puts itself in a notification area. so what you probably want is to add one
[16:07] <ZykoticK9> sacarlson, it's "notification area" i believe, but he's using the German version
[16:07] <Darael> sacarlson: it isn't an applet, you run "nm-applet".
[16:07] <complete> i guess "notification area" is "benachrichtigungen" in german. let me try that.
[16:08] <zerty> log file just only show if the connection is ok or fail, but no information why can't write etc ..., i also check the permission on that folder llutz
[16:08] <erUSUL> sacarlson: notification area.
[16:08] <zerty> log file just only show if the connection is ok or fail, but no information why can't write etc ..., i also check the permission on that folder llutz_
[16:08] <Darael> sacarlson: I realise that sounds like a contradiction but it's a notification area applet rather than a panel one.
[16:08] <erUSUL> área de notificación in spanish ;P
[16:08] <complete> so how do i restart nm-applet now?
[16:08] <sacarlson> I hope complete got that after all that noise we genereated
[16:08] <sam-_-> complete, search for the icon with and i with a circle around
[16:08] <bonjoyee1> sacarlson: theres no way to delete nm as such...he deleted the notification area!!
[16:08] <complete> its not in my benachrichtigungs-anzeige right now.
[16:09] <complete> sam-_-: ok, i think i got it. now how do i add the nm-applet to it?
[16:09] <MotherMother> Hey guys, I'm in ubuntu installing right now, but when i choose the partition and choose the " install now" option i get the error "no root file system is defined" . Any help on how to solve this
[16:09] <MotherMother> ?
[16:09] <erUSUL> complete: do «alt +f2» and run nm-applet
[16:09] <sam-_-> pkillall nm-applet && nm-applet
[16:09] <sayres> Any chance that the Mac 10.5 Leopard to be installed into ubuntu 10.10?
[16:09] <sacarlson> bonjoyee1: well I don't have it in my panel so I don't recall what I did to delete it but didn't need it since I'm static
[16:09] <bencahill> sam-_-: ah yes, gparted is much nicer :) ok, it's partitioned/formatted, off to copy!
[16:09] <ZykoticK9> MotherMother, if you specified "manual" for partitioning you need to specify a / mount
[16:09] <erUSUL> sam-_-: is pkill or killall
[16:09] <Darael> MotherMother: You need to define a root partition:  that is, you need to have one used as /
[16:09] <erUSUL> sam-_-: pkill is prefered
[16:09] <zerty> log file just only show if the connection is ok or fail, but no information why can't write etc ..., i also check the permission on that folder llutz_
[16:10] <sam-_-> erUSUL, yes. thx
[16:10] <MotherMother> Ah, and how should i do that exactly?
[16:10] <ZykoticK9> MotherMother, why are you selecting manual partitioning?
[16:11] <MotherMother> because I am installing ubuntu on a partition of the C:\ drive
[16:11] <MotherMother> I'm now going back to the normal install menu
[16:11] <dpy> oh lol, seems time has caught up with me
[16:11] <complete> I HAVE IT!!!
[16:11] <complete> no lets see if it displays the wlan networks around
[16:11] <Darael> MotherMother: Why not just use the "resize <something> and use freed space"?
[16:11] <dpy> VirtualBox no longer requires a bridge on the host for bridged networking
[16:12] <AbhiJit> need to install softwares in offline pc
[16:12] <AbhiJit> help
[16:12] <sayres> help:'(
[16:12] <sayres> Any chance that the Mac 10.5 Leopard to be installed into ubuntu 10.10?
[16:12] <ZykoticK9> dpy, VBox networking was greatly improved a few releases ago - i hated the bridged networking stuff, that's certainly not required anymore :)
[16:12] <sacarlson> complete: ok and so what is it in german then?
[16:12] <AbhiJit> offline factoid is changed
[16:12] <MotherMother> Uh, I'm not sure actually...Anyway: I already made a partition for ubuntu in windows, 70GB, and i want to install ubuntu there, how would i go and do that?
[16:12] <siri_> pradyumna: HI.
[16:12]  * T-T 要走了
[16:13] <sacarlson> complete: after causing so much noise for such a trivial thing
[16:13] <PhoenixSTF> abhijit: please explain better
[16:13] <ZykoticK9> sayres, i believe installing Mac on VBox is forbidden by Apple - you can try asking in #vbox, but i believe they will say "unsupported"
[16:13] <dpy> ZykoticK9: yeah, I was previously still using an old version of VBox. Luckily I checked the manual before diving into something overly complex
[16:13] <AbhiJit> PhoenixSTF, i want to install vlc tell me how?
[16:13] <bencahill> sam-_-: so will a simple cp -r bin boot whatever /mount/usb/ work fine, i.e. keep the permissions? (you can tell I'm new to this :) )
[16:14] <sayres> ZykoticK9: tanks
[16:15] <PhoenixSTF> abhijit: do you have internet on the pc?
[16:15] <AbhiJit> PhoenixSTF, no
[16:15] <sam-_-> bencahill, use cp with argument a: cp -aR
[16:15] <PhoenixSTF> abhijit: wait a sec
[16:15] <bencahill> bonjoyee: hey there :)
[16:15] <AbhiJit> hmm
[16:15] <sacarlson> bencahill: I think you need to add like cp -a
[16:16] <sam-_-> bencahill, you don't need R sry
[16:16] <bonjoyee> bencahill: hello..hows u?
[16:16] <sam-_-> bencahill, just cp -a
[16:16] <bencahill> sam-_-, sacarlson: ok, thanks :)
[16:16] <MotherMother> @Darael , anyway: I have made a partition for ubuntu earlier today,and i want to install ubuntu there, how would i go and do that?
[16:16] <sacarlson> bencahill: cp -a keeps all the owners and groups and permisions and stuf
[16:16] <bencahill> sam-_-: right, gotcha
[16:17] <bencahill> bonjoyee: good, still workin' on my picture frame :)
[16:17] <nevirus> hello!!

[16:26] <AbhiJit> its not my pc. friend's
[16:26] <MotherMother>  Hey, I have a empty partition i want to install ubuntu to, how should i do that? I'm already in ubuntu 10.10
[16:27] <sacarlson> LB: must be a bot?
[16:27] <LB> @Scaralson an option in synaptic package manager.
[16:28] <sacarlson> LB: why are you running synaptic in a live cd boot?
[16:28] <Pici> zerty: yeah, sorry.
[16:28] <LB> no one has been responding to me..
[16:28] <LB> @Scarlson i am not a bot..
[16:28] <bencahill> sam-_-: hmm, when I do sudo fdisk -l upon inserting the usb drive, it says that the physical/logical partitions do not have the same beginning and end (non-Linux?), and that they do not end on cylinder boundaries. They were created with gparted using the default settings (like with 1 MiB of space before), should I be concerned about these messages?
[16:28] <bonjoyee> MotherMother: start install...when the partition manager comes up..select manual scheme ...and then select the proper partition to install ubuntu to
[16:28] <PhoenixSTF> abhijit: ok m8 you got 2 chances get the pc on the network and try to install it get the package, or download the reposotories and set up a virtual machine with it! for what u want you dont have that many solutions
[16:29] <bencahill> bonjoyee: haven't had the time yet :)

[16:29] <AbhiJit> PhoenixSTF, yah thanks. i select 2nd solution
[16:29] <madmax_x> anyone here familiar with mixmaster/sendmail?
[16:29] <sacarlson> LB: what you should learn is that when people don't understand is partly because they don't have enuf information in the problem to even know if they can help
[16:29] <bonjoyee> MotherMother: after you select the partition...u have to select edit..and set mount point to /
[16:30] <PhoenixSTF> abhijit: lol good luck with it, i havent ever made that one, but you got some cool recipes on the net google it m8 ;)
[16:30] <sam-_-> bencahill, don't know. post the exact error message to pastebin.com
[16:30] <AbhiJit> :)
[16:31] <bencahill> sam-_-: 'k, one minute, wait can I do that from cli? :)
[16:31] <zerty> for webroot folder what group i have to affect ?
[16:31] <MotherMother> banjoyee: Ah, that explains alot, but i have a short question: Before selecting the mount point i need to select "Use as:" What do i need to put there?
[16:31] <bonjoyee> MotherMother: ext4 should work well...
[16:31] <sacarlson> LB: broken package in a system that can't even boot?
[16:31] <sam-_-> bencahill, post to pastebin.com?
[16:32] <MotherMother> bonjoyee: Ok, I'll select ext4 journaling fiel system
[16:33] <sacarlson> LB; why not just fix the system so it can boot then fix the package,  I know I've been drinking so exuse me if I'm wrong here.
[16:33] <sam-_-> bencahill, there is a script called wgetpaste
[16:33] <MotherMother> bonjoyee: I have more than enough space and 3GB of ram, should i use some swap space?
[16:35] <bonjoyee> MotherMother: 3gb is a lot of RAM..so swap will be seldom needed...however if u want to hibernate ..then atleast the size of RAM...if no hibernation is needed..go without it!

[16:42] <sacarlson> amdorra: gedit it seems to already work with php code with default settings
[16:42] <dnivra> ZykoticK9, i can confirm that my system restarts because i get the login screen and none of the applications that were running before hibernate are running. also when restarting from hibernate, it should show the same login window shown when you lock the screen right? i get normal login window-same as when system starts
[16:42] <sacarlson> amdorra: that's what I use to edit php
[16:42] <housam> i have MSN ID and i can`t enter it by empathy

[16:45] <sherbieny> ohh
[16:45] <sacarlson> amdorra: you mean applications?
[16:45] <dnivra> sam-_-, i wouldn't trust it completely-i've lost a bit of data in a partition i was trying to shrink :).

[16:45] <bencahill> sam-_-: what if I just used fdisk?
[16:45] <ZykoticK9> dnivra, i just confirmed - on my eee, yes returning from hibernate is the same as from standby - with the lock screen and NOT the Login screen.  So it does appear that you are restarting rather then returning from hybernate.  Sorry I have no suggestions.
[16:45] <sherbieny> is it okay this way
[16:46] <sam-_-> dnivra, yes but he didn't do anything complicated so i thought maybe it's more reliable
[16:46] <bgm80> there a group mantain arm devel.. ?
[16:46] <bencahill> sam-_-: or maybe just leave it, since it was made by gparted, which should know what it's doing? :-/
[16:46] <sherbieny> again
[16:46] <rs0832> sherbieny:  try to use the pastebin.. it makes stuff easier to read :)
[16:46] <sam-_-> bencahill, sure you can. but you have to create fs manually afterwards
[16:46] <dnivra> ZykoticK9, thanks for confirming it mate! you really hibernated to check it out?
[16:46] <delinquentme> is there a way to re run all the most recent system updates (the default ones which popup inside ubuntu) which were upgraded last ...
[16:46] <sam-_-> bencahill, with mkfs**
[16:46] <dnivra> sam-_-, i don't know specifics; just stating in general :)
[16:47] <sherbieny> how to use it I entered the text and clicked paste and it gave me this
[16:47] <KellyG1> Gah, internet dropped out :(
[16:47] <ZykoticK9> dnivra, ya - i wasn't sure if it was lock or login screen that i saw (so i tested it)

[16:47] <IdleOne> sherbieny: you said your mic is working properly and you can record?
[16:47] <sam-_-> bencahill, hard question. i think i would redo partitioning in gparted.
[16:48] <dnivra> ZykoticK9, cool! thanks! i hope someone has a solution-wasting 5GB of hard disk space for swap-i just need to hibernate. got 4GB RAM.
[16:48] <bencahill> sam-_-: but what would I do different? there weren't that many options, apart from the 1 MiB space thing, should I change that?
[16:49] <crankharder> how can a md raid5 array w/ 2 faulty spares -- still be letting me read from the device?
[16:49] <dnivra> sherbieny, once you paste, there will be a link at the top of the page. give that link to whoever you are trying to communicate to.
[16:49] <crankharder> side comment, why does md suck so bad and just drop/break disks all the freakin time?
[16:49] <dnivra> sherbieny, i.e. link in the address bar.
[16:49] <sherbieny> IdleOne: yes but I can't use it with sphinx4 and I noticed the error that I pasted here appear when I run it with terminal
[16:49] <sam-_-> bencahill, y. good point. but you know computers. sometimes they do strange things
[16:49] <bombshell> I've been searching for this topic for awhile now and I'm haven't any luck to setting the default window size to 126x27?

[16:50] <KellyG1> nhck: tried the repos?
[16:50] <nhck> KellyG1: I found it here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gupnp-igd
[16:50] <dnivra> nha, it is there in the repos
[16:50] <IdleOne> sherbieny: what is sphinx4?
[16:50] <KellyG1> nhck: can you add a PPA?
[16:50] <rs0832> nhck: use the repos
[16:50] <dnivra> !info python-gupnp-igd | nhck
[16:51] <dnivra> oops i mean nhck it is there in the repos :). sorry nha
[16:51] <rz1029> hey guys, got a question for you all
[16:51] <MrKeuner> does Lucid use grub or grub2?
[16:51] <nhck> KellyG1: I am not sure how to do that (add ppa)? I tried apt-get install python-gupnp-igd but it doesn't seem to be there.
[16:51] <bonjoyee> bombshell: open gconf-editor goto  /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default
[16:51] <dnivra> MrKeuner, grub2
[16:52] <KellyG1> nhck: sudo apt-get install python-gupnp-igd ?
[16:52] <sherbieny> IdleOne: sphinx4 is a java developed program for speech-recognition development
[16:52] <nhck> KellyG1: right "package not found"
[16:52] <rs0832> rz1029, you had a question?
[16:52] <rz1029> I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, I just tried to install the Ubuntu restricted extras via the software center, and it's currently frozen at 'waiting for apt-get to exit'. I'm new to Ubuntu, and I'm not sure how to fix that.
[16:52] <KellyG1> nhck: I cant get onto Launchpad atm :(

[16:53] <bonjoyee> bombshell: and change default_column_size and default_row_size
[16:53] <KellyG1> nhck: any references to a PPA (private repository) you can add?
[16:53] <sherbieny> IdleOne: I will send you now the error code the terminal send me with gnome-sound-recorder
[16:53] <bencahill> sam-_-: ah, there is an "Align to:" option in gparted, last time it was set to MiB (default), this time I'm setting it to Cylinder :)
[16:53] <Angel-SL> hi, I compiled mono 2.8.1 myself; how should i set the mono-runtime (and others) package to 'installed'? because I don't want my compiled version being overwritten by 2.6.7 from the repository
[16:53] <Guest71738> Users, is there a possibility to optimize my mobile internet connections with some settings or additional software?
[16:53] <IdleOne> sherbieny: I saw the error you pasted. this is a speech recognition tool?
[16:53] <nhck> KellyG1: no.. i can install all the other libraries that are available with the package?
[16:53] <bombshell> bonjoyee: Thanks =]
[16:53] <MrKeuner> dnivra, grub2 shows in synaptic without a canonical supporting icon. grub does show a canonical supported icon... how's that
[16:53] <sam-_-> bencahill, the cylinder thing doesn't worry me.
[16:54] <bonjoyee> bombshell: does the job?
[16:54] <nhck> dnivra: maybe you have an idea? sudo apt-get install python-gupnp-igd  doesn't get me the package although it is there at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gupnp-igd
[16:54] <sam-_-> bencahill, it's the other thing fdisk said
[16:54] <dnivra> nhck, i had the same in mind. what happens when you run it?
[16:54] <Some_Person> If I reinstall ubuntu, will /home be preserved?
[16:54] <LB> scaralson i have tried various ways and i have gotten help from http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8576910
[16:54] <bencahill> sam-_-: well maybe this would fix both of them, i dunno :)
[16:54] <nhck> dnivra: it tells me that the package wasn't found. I am on 10.04 lts
[16:54] <sherbieny> IdleOne: gnome-sound-recorder:12900): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_implements_interface_cast: assertion `gst_element_implements_interface (GST_ELEMENT (from), iface_type)' failed

[16:55] <sherbieny> IdleOne: brb
[16:55] <KellyG1> nhck: its in the 10.10 repos :(
[16:55] <MrKeuner> dnivra, no problem, thanks
[16:55] <Angel-SL> anyone?
[16:55] <KellyG1> Whenever I download something (ie. updating software from repos) it eats my whole connection and nothing else can connect (cant even ping google) until the download is finished. Same issue on Ethernet & Wifi + Tried several drivers to no avail. Any ideas?
[16:55] <dnivra> nhck, well I am running 10.10 and i was able to install it properly.
[16:55] <rs0832> Angel-SL: sudo make install ?
[16:55] <burt_> I'm using mobile connection with xubuntu,need only some commands to run.
[16:56] <bonjoyee> Some_Person: if u have /home on separate partition..then it will be preserved..unless u format it!
[16:56] <Some_Person> Will /home be preserved if I reinstall ubuntu?
[16:56] <Angel-SL> rs0832: that still leaves the package status in aptitude as uninstalled
[16:56] <Some_Person> bonjoyee: I do not have it on a separate partition :-(
[16:56] <mikedoty> Hi.  I opened a PDF in the default "document viewer," but when I choose to "save a copy," it only creates a 0-bytes file.  :(
[16:56] <KellyG1> Some_Person: Back it up along with /etc/passwd :)
[16:56] <mikedoty> What can I do to get it to save the pdf I filled out?
[16:56] <dnivra> Some_Person, as long as you do not format the partition yeah it should be.
[16:56] <KellyG1> and the shadow file i guess
[16:56] <rs0832> Angel-SL: when you manually compile and install software, it does not show up in aptitude
[16:56] <nhck> KellyG1, dnivra: Okay.. I understand only on 10.10 - no way to get it anyway?
[16:56] <bonjoyee> Some_Person: then u have to backup using either "cp -a" or "rsync -av"
[16:57] <Angel-SL> rs0832: i kinda figured that
[16:57] <rs0832> nhck : download it from here- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/gupnp-igd_0.1.3.orig.tar.gz
[16:57] <KellyG1> nhck: could try getting it from the 10.10 repos or compile from source?
[16:57] <dnivra> nhck, could you run "apt-cache show python-gupnp-igd" and see if it prints out the details of the package?
[16:57] <Some_Person> bonjoyee, dnivra: You two are contradicting each other. Which is it?
[16:57] <nhck> dnivra: just says not found.
[16:57] <sandy> hi
[16:58] <dnivra> Some_Person, i don't think bonjoyee was contradicting me was he? i'm sorry i didn't see his comment.
[16:58] <KellyG1> hi sandy
[16:58] <bonjoyee> dnivra: Some_Person does not have a separate /home!
[16:58] <Guest14108> hello kellyG1
[16:58] <rz1029> 'waiting for apt-get to exit' shouldn't last for 30+ minutes when I tried to install ubuntu restricted extras, should it? If not, there a way to fix/stop it?
[16:58] <Guest14108> how are you doing
[16:58] <Guest14108> ?
[16:59] <Some_Person> dnivra: He said /home will not be preserved, and you said it will
[16:59] <mikedoty> As soon as I fill out a single line on the pdf, future save operations fail completely
[16:59] <burt_> This works with Huawei E1820
[16:59] <KellyG1> Good thanks, jsut having some problems :)
[16:59] <mikedoty> Maybe #gnome is a better place for this, wouldn't be the first time
[16:59] <KellyG1> What's up?
[16:59] <myrl> hi
[16:59] <burt_> To command line sudo aptitude install usb-modeswitch
[16:59] <rs0832> rz1029,  are you running apt-get in a terminal?
[16:59] <Guest14108> i'm really sorry i'm too very new to this linux
[16:59] <Guest14108> i'm sorry
[16:59] <KellyG1> Fire away
[16:59] <dnivra> bonjoyee, but even if you do not format, it won't replace the files in /home right? only /usr, /boot etc would be. correct?
[16:59] <Dreaman> install ubuntu 10.10 amd64 google earth but error not start
[16:59] <bombshell> bonjoyee: Nope, doesn't seem to work
[16:59] <rz1029> rs0832, no, I installed it via the software center
[16:59] <KellyG1> Everyone starts somewhere, im sure someone will lend a hand
[17:00] <bencahill> sam-_-: seems to be fixed now :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/546013/
[17:00] <highliger> burt: once i downloaded the "gmsmuxer" i think thats the name, to get more channels working on the same time, but i don't know if it is just a feeling or really working. it seems that when i have more than 1 tab open, the connection slows down too much
[17:00] <bencahill> sam-_-: ^ is sdc in that one
[17:00] <burt_> And more help with command  sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
[17:00] <dnivra> nhck, then i guess it is not there in 10.04 repository. maybe you should add the PPA then. if there is a PPA. or you could consider compiling from source if you get the source package.
[17:00] <rs0832> dnivra: its there
[17:00] <delinquentme> Id like to edit my grub.cfg file .. but its locked .. how do i unlock it?
[17:01] <bonjoyee> dnivra: technically yes..but in practice..never tried!
[17:01] <bombshell> It's reverting back to it's original settings
[17:01] <sam-_-> bencahill, nice
[17:01] <rs0832> nhck: http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/g/gupnp-igd/libgupnp-igd-1.0-2_0.1.3-4ubuntu1_i386.deb
[17:01] <Some_Person> Can anybody say from experience if ubuntu's installer will preserve /home when reinstalling?
[17:01] <Guest14108> can somebody help me to fix my visual effects, i'm using ubuntu netbook edition , no visual effects are highlighted
[17:01] <bencahill> sam-_-: ok, now off to cp some stuff :)
[17:01] <bonjoyee> bombshell: ok..maybe someone else has a better idea!!
[17:01] <gticlayauri_> delinquentme: may be you try using sudo
[17:01] <AlanBell> sherbieny: hi, having fun with sphinx? want to join #ubuntu-accessibility and we can talk about it there
[17:02] <KellyG1> Guest14108: System > Preferences > Appearance
[17:02] <Guest14108> yes i did the same
[17:02] <Guest14108> nothing over there highlighted
[17:02] <dnivra> delinquentme, you're better off not editing that file. instead edit the files in /etc/default/grub.d.
[17:02] <IdleOne> AlanBell: I think he stepped away for a minute
[17:02] <KellyG1> Guest14108: Did you install graphics drivers?
[17:02] <nhck> rs0832: thanks, but I really need the python one.. so i am going to do a dist-upgrade
[17:02] <sherbieny> AlanBell: thank god I found someone who knows it I'll get there
[17:02] <burt_> In this mobile i have only windows drives,so wine to start first time.
[17:02] <rs0832> nhck: ill get you the python one then
[17:03] <bonjoyee> dnivra: also if its a different version of ubuntu..not formatting the / (and hence /home) will leave some garbage from the older version..libs..bin etc.. what say?
[17:03] <delinquentme> dnivra, that will change my default OS?
[17:03] <Some_Person> If ubuntu will not preserve /home (or if nobody knows for sure, just to be safe), how can I backup to a Windows SMB server while preserving permissions and everything?
[17:03] <dnivra> delinquentme, here's grub2 documentation. very very useful. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[17:04] <dnivra> delinquentme, default OS?
[17:04] <nhck> rs0832: no worries allready started it :-)
[17:04] <delinquentme> dnivra, yeah my latest uuntu software updated crapped out my box.. so im setting the default to the previous update version
[17:04] <dnivra> bonjoyee, no the bin, lib, etc will be replaced by the newer ones i think.
[17:04] <KellyG1> Whenever I download something (ie. updating software from repos) it eats my whole connection and nothing else can connect (cant even ping google) until the download is finished. Same issue on Ethernet & Wifi + Tried several drivers to no avail. Any ideas?
[17:04] <nhck> rs0832: thanks so
[17:04] <rs0832> nhck: k :)
[17:05] <burt_> Yes them are many versions of Ubuntu,but commands often same.
[17:05] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, whats your internet speed?
[17:05] <Shadowolf> My nick won't log out. How do I get it back?
[17:05] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: thanks fro the reply
[17:05] <dnivra> delinquentme, you want to roll back updates? i don't think that's possible.
[17:05] <bonjoyee> dnivra: thats fine for those that have the exact names/versions..but what about the older ones?
[17:05] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: Its the same issue wether im on 1Mbit or 50mbit
[17:05] <dnivra> bonjoyee, i've never really checked :).
[17:05] <kyle_> Hi, I've just installed ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my asus eee netbook and the brightness is really low but it says its turn up 100% any ideas?
[17:05] <bencahill> sam-_-: it's chugging along :) do I need to copy lost+found?
[17:06] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, what kind of ethernet adapter are you using? that's a bizarre problem
[17:06] <Shadowolf> My nick won't log out. How do I get it back?
[17:06] <sam-_-> bencahill no
[17:06] <dnivra> bonjoyee, know any libraries in 10.04 not there in 10.10? i didn't format my partition.
[17:06] <bencahill> Shadowolf: ghost
[17:06] <bencahill> sam-_-: ok didn't think so :)
[17:06] <dnivra> Shadowolf, is it registered? then ghost it-/msg nickserv ghost <nick> <password> .
[17:06] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: Its a r8101 ethernet card, but issue exists for the Wifi too :S
[17:06] <Shadowolf> thanks
[17:06] <delinquentme> dnivra, umm .. well within my GRUB boot menu .. the #1 option freezes during boot .. the #2 is a recovery .. however #3 actually gives me my computer back and BOOTS into ubuntu .. so far it has simply been idling @ the ubuntu screen on startup
[17:07] <sam-_-> bencahill also no folders containing mount points
[17:07] <dnivra> Shadowolf, i think the appropriate channel for such queries in #freenode. Do keep it in mind.
[17:07] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, has this issue existed for as long as you've been using ubuntu?
[17:07] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: I tried changing drivers, etc
[17:07] <Some_Person> If ubuntu will not preserve /home (or if nobody knows for sure, just to be safe), how can I backup to a Windows SMB server while preserving permissions and everything?
[17:07] <bencahill> sam-_-: so skip media and mnt?
[17:07] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: Yes, its always been here since installing
[17:07] <burt_> My speed often 5-8,5M/sec,but can be sometimes only 1M down.Few time have been 11 M and one time 15M,Up load have been 1M-5M.
[17:07] <bencahill> sam-_-: I don't have anything personally mounted in there, i use /mount
[17:07] <bencahill> sam-_-: ...which I didn't copy
[17:07] <delinquentme> how do i exit out of "sudo -i " mode?
[17:08] <sam-_-> benchill yes skipt
[17:08] <sam-_-> benchill yes skip those
[17:08] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: And im using standard 10.10, nothing fancy :(
[17:08] <burt_> It means must be in good area,if not it go down.
[17:08] <bencahill> sam-_-: ah, I already started it with those, is it fine? :-/
[17:08] <bonjoyee> dnivra: its not just about them being present or not...if libx.so.5.1 is in 10.04...in 10.10 the version may be libx.so.6.1...so if u don't format / ..both will be there..which doesn't seems right!
[17:08] <highliger> Are there programs or so for optimizing the gsm mobile internet connection performance?
[17:08] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, what kind of PC is this?
[17:08] <dnivra> delinquentme, then you need to tweak the grub.cfg file i guess. run "sudo chmod 644 /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and then open it as root. should work.
[17:08] <sam-_-> bencahill, if there is nothing mounted in there then it's fine
[17:08] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: Samsung n130 netbook :)
[17:09] <bencahill> sam-_-: yes, nothing mounted :)
[17:09] <DrManhattan> now that is simply bizarre
[17:09] <DrManhattan> seriously
[17:09] <dnivra> bonjoyee, yeah true it makes sense. i guess it would co-exist.
[17:09] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: Yeah, weird right
[17:09] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, does this laptop do this with windows on it?
[17:09] <bonjoyee> dnivra: and hence lead to conflicts?
[17:09] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: Not sure, i formatted it as soon as i got it :P
[17:10] <dnivra> bonjoyee, i'm not sure of conflicts cos applications would use one version of library and load only that right?
[17:10] <bencahill> sam-_-: i don't need to use uuids in fstab, right?
[17:10] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, thats a pretty slow lappy - is your CPU usage way up when the network device is being used?
[17:11] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: not really
[17:11] <Some_Person> Something seems to be screwed up on this live CD boot. I keep getting errors while trying to run firefox or mount an SMB share. The error is "Input/output error"

[17:12] <shishirdwivedi20> therefore nautilius is not working '

[17:12] <shishirdwivedi20> how to correct that
[17:12] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, that is a rather unique problem. I have not run into it even on older pc's. I wonder if its an issue with netbooks
[17:12] <dnivra> bonjoyee, okay i think i meant dynamic linking.
[17:13] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: Its funny, the n130 is popular and nobody else reports it :S
[17:13] <bonjoyee> dnivra: not trying to argue or something or being smart..just a constructive debate i guess:)
[17:13] <dnivra> shishirdwivedi20, why are you running nautilus as root?

[17:13] <Some_Person> If ubuntu will not preserve /home (or if nobody knows for sure, just to be safe), how can I backup to a Windows SMB server while preserving permissions and everything?
[17:13] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, I would DEFINITELY do that
[17:14] <dnivra> bonjoyee, except that i can't hibernate :)
[17:14] <Kwuicui> hello world !
[17:14] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: Thanks for your help anyway :)
[17:14] <maco> Some_Person: ubuntu will preserve /home *if* you go to manual partition mode, tell it to reuse the same partition and *uncheck* "format"
[17:14] <sacarlson> tpw_rules: there are hex editors
[17:14] <dnivra> maco, but as bonjoyee pointed out, would libraries cause an issue?
[17:14] <DrManhattan> KellyG1, im sorry I wasn't more help - but it sounds like a hardware defect of some sort - or a fecal driver
[17:14] <dury> Kwuicui: hi there :)
[17:14] <maco> Some_Person: if you make a tarball and copy that over to smb, permissions inside the tarball will be maintained too
[17:14] <maco> dnivra: no
[17:14] <dnivra> shishirdwivedi20, what are you trying to do?
[17:15] <kyle_> Hi, I've just installed ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my asus eee netbook and the brightness is really low but it says its turn up 100% any ideas?
[17:15] <KellyG1> DrManhattan: might try another distro first, or see if the problems exists on a livecd
[17:15] <tpw_rules> sacarlson: the file is mostly text
[17:15] <dnivra> maco, no? are you sure that dynamically linked libraries won't be affected?
[17:15] <Kwuicui> :-)
[17:15] <maco> dnivra: cant imagine anything libraries could do to it... it just doesnt delete the contents of /home
[17:15] <D3ath101> having problems exiting programs. seems unresponsive alot
[17:15] <sacarlson> tpw_rules: so
[17:15] <maco> dnivra: you're talking about reinstalling right?
[17:15] <shishirdwivedi20> dnvira i reinstalled the os but before doing that i saved some files of /var/cache/apt/archives  and i want to install them
[17:15] <dury> Kwuicui: :-)
[17:15] <tpw_rules> sacarlson: so i want a text editor
[17:16] <shishirdwivedi20> dnvira i dont want to upgrade
[17:16] <tpw_rules> i don't get why gedit won't open it
[17:16] <shishirdwivedi20> dnvira how can i do that
[17:16] <dnivra> maco, i meant about applications that are installed. yeah upgrading/installing without formatting.
[17:16] <sacarlson> tpw_rules: but it has some wierd codes in it
[17:16] <maco> dnivra: everything *outside* of /home gets deleted
[17:16] <maco> dnivra: so the libraries and apps are fully reinstalled
[17:16] <Some_Person> maco: Ok, so I should select "Ext4 journaling file system", leave the format box unchecked, and set the mountpoint to /, right?
[17:16] <dury> Kwuicui: linux enthusiast?
[17:16] <maco> Some_Person: assuming it was ext4 before
[17:16] <D3ath101> need help. programs i run will sometimes just not close. i can keep using the program, but it will not exit

[17:17] <DrManhattan> its de debbil
[17:17] <sacarlson> tpw_rules: and you can't edit with gedit?
[17:17] <dnivra> maco, oh really? i vaguely remember the installer saying something like that /etc, /bin, /lib etc are deleted. bonjoyee maco just said everything outside /home gets deleted completely.
[17:17] <Kwuicui> dury: i like linux (espacially Debian)
[17:17] <shishirdwivedi20> dnvira will you help me
[17:17] <maco> dnivra: i think it all does. certainly /usr is totally replaced
[17:17] <dury> Kwuicui: me too
[17:18] <sacarlson> tpw_rules: rs0832: see even rs agrees ghex is what will work
[17:18] <dnivra> maco, so is /etc and /bin. i am sure of those two.

[17:18] <AndyGraybeal> i'm trying to update ubuntu, it says it cannot access security.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>) is it on my end, or everyone is effect4ed?
[17:18] <maco> dnivra: because all the packages are reinstalled. its not like it looks at the disk and goes "hey you already have this stuff. nevermind. not going to install the packages"
[17:18] <bonjoyee> maco: how can u say such a thing...why would the installer leave /home and delete every thing else!! ...why would there be umpteen guides/tuts...telling to have separate /home or backup before reinstalling?
[17:18] <dury> Kwuicui: do you use it as a server as well?
[17:19] <shishirdwivedi20> any body need help
[17:19] <maco> bonjoyee: because those guides are older than this feature which was introduced 2-3 years ago?
[17:19] <tpw_rules> kate manages to open it just fine actually
[17:19] <D3ath101> can someone plz answer me?
[17:19] <tpw_rules> i guess i'll use that then
[17:19] <dnivra> maco, bonjoyee was talking about two versions of libraries co-existing. wouldn't two versions cause a problem?
[17:19] <maco> bonjoyee: afaik, only ubuntu's installer does this
[17:19] <sacarlson> shishirdwivedi20: wow asking to help I love that
[17:19] <dpy> Does anyone know if KDE4 supports mouse buttons to be used as a shortcut?   This works in KDE3, Gnome, Compiz-fusion, probably every other linux desktop/windowing system...
[17:19] <Kwuicui> dury: not really but during my study, i usually use debian and backtrack
[17:20] <maco> dnivra: two different so versions? thats fine... there are plenty of parallel-installable library packages
[17:20] <bonjoyee> maco: if u see in a .deb ...it contains a file structure similar to a linux one...i
[17:20] <shishirdwivedi20> sacarlson actually that was some grammatical  mistake actually i need help
[17:20] <dury> Kwuicui: right... which studies did  you do? about computing?
[17:21] <maco> bonjoyee: in ubuntu's installer, you can choose manual partitioning and choose not to format the / partition. in that case, /home is preserved. based on what was said on the ubuntu devel mailing list about this 2 years, it seems that *only* /home is kept
[17:21] <dnivra> maco, okay then. i'm no practical expert in these-just theoretical knowledge of dynamic linking etc thanks to my OS classes :). good enough.
[17:21] <Kwuicui> dury: i study in France, in network & security
[17:21] <sima> join #ubuntu-ru
[17:21] <Some_Person> maco: You are certain of this, right?
[17:21] <bonjoyee> if it has a file libx.5.so.1..and the older version had...libx.4.so.1..then that newer deb is not going to delete the older version..it will just place the newer version alongside it..
[17:22] <maco> Some_Person: of /home not being deleted if you choose not to format? yes, ive used this at least 3-5 times on people's computers at installfests over the last 2 years with no complaints
[17:22] <D3ath101> need help exiting a program...... click x and it wont exit, everything else in the program still responds, any help would be cool
[17:22] <dury> Kwuicui: where you from?
[17:22] <Some_Person> maco: Ok, thank you
[17:22] <llutz_> !ot | dury Kwuicui pls take it to offtopic -chan
[17:22] <IdleOne> Some_Person: I reinstalled just last week and it works fine.
[17:23] <dnivra> D3ath101, why not kill it using kill command?
[17:23] <dury> ok
[17:23] <sam-_-> D3ath101, try xkill
[17:23] <IdleOne> Some_Person: just make sure that you uncheck the format box for /home :)
[17:23] <maco> IdleOne: for / you mean :P
[17:23] <bonjoyee> maco: please post the link if u have it..it'll save my efforts as well when I re install
[17:23] <IdleOne> maco: well whatever he is trying to save.

[17:24] <System_Default_0> Help available at #00xcStamp
[17:24] <IdleOne> maco: I have a seperate /home so I reinstall to / and don't format /home
[17:24] <Some_Person> IdleOne, maco: Does it matter if I create a user in the installer with the same name as a user on the old install?
[17:24] <maco> IdleOne: the discussion was about not formatting / to preserve /home
[17:24] <dury> Kwuicui: all right... we are offtopic
[17:24] <k-rad> has anyone here used gnome shell and liked it ?
[17:24] <maco> Some_Person: yeah
[17:25] <Some_Person> maco: "yeah" meaning...?
[17:25] <maco> Some_Person: otherwise you have to play with /etc/passwd and fix ID numbering and such
[17:25] <maco> Some_Person: if the first user was foo, use foo on that user too
[17:25] <IdleOne> Some_Person: I use the same username and pass
[17:25] <dury> Kwuicui: happy with Ubuntu
[17:25] <maco> Some_Person: that way they still use /home/foo and their permissions are already set
[17:25] <sacarlson> k-rad: like gnome-terminal  ya it's ok
[17:25] <System_Default_0> This is getting offtopic :-D
[17:26] <maco> Some_Person: otherwise, if you make user bar and foo was first user before, then bar will have proper permissions to access /home/foo because bar now has the same UID as the old foo user had
[17:26] <dnivra> maco, but there's the issue of the keyring if you change the password. i had that issue-someone here helped me reset it to the new one.
[17:26] <Kwuicui> dury: happy... hum... but my computer often freeze
[17:26] <sam-_-_> bencahill, i have too leave. cu around
[17:26] <maco> dnivra: any time you change the pw that comes up though...
[17:26] <dnivra> maco, maybe you shouldn't overload Some_Person with that much details :).
[17:26] <Kwuicui> dury: in debian, they is not freeze :-)
[17:26] <dnivra> maco, oh! okay i see. good to know!
[17:26] <marel> How do I mount an iso image ?

[17:28] <Kwuicui> dury: my computer don't work if i watch a moovie
[17:28] <Kwuicui> (for example)
[17:28] <tehbaut2> I'm using a live cd and transferring files from one drive to another it says it cannot create a folder because there's no space left on the device, but there are in fact 1.5TB left on this device!
[17:28] <bencahill> well, for everyone else, how do i get a uuid in fstab without typing it by hand?
[17:28] <dnivra> maco, this definitely sounds dumb but considering i did clean installs of all earlier versions, is there any reason why hibernate wouldn't work if you don't do a clean install?
[17:28] <maco> dnivra, bonjoyee: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-May/004229.html  <-- about /home being preserved
[17:29] <dury> Kwuicui: you mean under ubuntu?
[17:29] <dnivra> maco, thanks will check it out.
[17:29] <maco> dnivra: not that i can think of
[17:29] <sacarlson> bencahill: cut and paste
[17:29] <sanjoy> how to install B.S. player
[17:29] <maco> i should bookmark. get people asking about it often enough
[17:30] <llutz_> bencahill:  sudo blkid |awk '/sda6/ {print $2}' |sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[17:30] <llutz_> bencahill: for /dev/sda6 as example
[17:30] <dnivra> maco, somebody suggested that to me so thought i'd ask. i've been having that issue only in 10.10 and i've not done a clean install of 10.10 alone.
[17:30] <Kwuicui> dury: yes
[17:30] <bencahill> sacarlson: cli
[17:30] <sacarlson> bencahill: llutz_: sounds even better
[17:31] <D3ath101> how do i target a specific app using the kill command?
[17:31] <maco> dnivra: the only things i know of that will reliably kill hibernate are:  A) encrypted swap B) too small swap and C) hardware incompatibilities
[17:31] <llutz_> sacarlson: yours needs much less typing :)
[17:31] <sanjoy> how to install B.S. player in ubuntu?
[17:31] <burt_> Try with wine
[17:32] <sacarlson> llutz_:well he could cut and paste what you showed him into a command terminal
[17:32] <dnivra> maco, well i have 5GB swap and 4GB ram. hardware incompatibilities? like? and encrypted swap? now how can i verify that?
[17:32] <zerty> hello i got a message on my server there are "1 zoombie process ", what that it mean , how to identify it ?
[17:32] <dury> Kwuicui: maybe you haven't got the plugins to open the .avi, .mp4, .mov, .flv  etc
[17:32] <maco> dnivra: if you had encrypted swap, you'd know
[17:32] <zerty> zombie
[17:32] <arthur_> #javascript
[17:33] <maco> dnivra: hardware incompatibilities = some driver is doing something slightly wrong in attempting either to convince a piece of hardware to enter a no-power state or in convincing it to wake up again
[17:33] <D3ath101> dnivra: how do i target using kill command ?
[17:33] <sacarlson> bencahill: oh and paste in cli is shift<ctl>v
[17:33] <Some_Person> Can I check the CD's integrity without rebooting the live CD?
[17:33] <wilgil> Anyone familiar with how drives get there names i.e. /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc?  I am trying to setup a raid 5 array.  It keeps dropping drives on reboot and I have noticed that the drives to not get the same name at every boot.
[17:33] <dnivra> maco, i can confirm the 5GB swap is detected. i think the hibernation also happens properly-behaviour is right. but resume doesn't happen. same case with suspend. resume doesn't work.
[17:33] <maco> dnivra: as for ram...if you were swapping 2GB and had your 4GB of RAM full, then it wouldnt fit in your swap to hibernate, but thatd be an awful lot of ram in use...
[17:34] <bonjoyee> maco: thanks for the link..looks interesting..however this should be made more prominent on the installer..and also this should only work if using the live cd right?
[17:34] <bencahill> llutz: thanks, just what I wanted :)
[17:34] <maco> bonjoyee: the alternate does it too. alternate has many more options than live
[17:34] <bencahill> sacarlson: is copy shift+ctrl+c?
[17:34] <maco> D3ath101: you put the process ID (PID) after the word "kill"
[17:34] <dnivra> D3ath101, kill takes the pid as argument. if you can't find the pid, try "killall <processname". no pid needed. you can find the pid using "ps -e"
[17:35] <bonjoyee> maco : does alternatecd  use ubiquity? ..i thought it uses the debian installer?
[17:35] <sacarlson> bencahill: yes if from cli but in some windows edit>copy
[17:35] <Cameron> Hello
[17:35] <maco> bonjoyee: right, d-i .. but slightly modified
[17:35] <bencahill> sacarlson: cool!
[17:35] <D3ath101> thank you, maco and dnivra
[17:35] <Cameron> I'm having a serious problem with a Linux Mint (Ubuntu-based) install
[17:35] <Cameron> been working on it all night
[17:35] <Cameron> haven't slept
[17:35] <maco> bonjoyee: no idea whether that patch has gone up to debian or not
[17:35] <maco> !mintsupport | Cameron
[17:36] <Cameron> The problem isn't really with Ubuntu or anything
[17:36] <Cameron> it's GRUB
[17:36] <bonjoyee> maco: ok..thanks anyways..:)
[17:36] <dnivra> maco, i had that issue earlier-issue command to hibernate but instead screen just locks. then realized that swap wasn't detected. so had to add to fstab. then resume doesn't work. suspend and hibernate have same issues.
[17:36] <tehbaut2> I'm using a live cd and transferring files from one drive to another it says it cannot create a folder because "Error creating directory: no space left on device" ...but there are in fact 1.5TB left on this device! Any idea why it's throwing this error? It's really annoying, as you can probably imagine.
[17:36] <maco> dnivra: since this was an upgrade, can you boot into an old kernel?
[17:37] <Meway> Hello, yesterday (Mind my ocd), I installed ubuntu 10.10 and spotted what I think is to be a graphical issue. In my panel bar located on the right side of my wireless symbol is a white rectangle idk if this was on purpose or not but it is quite unattractive.
[17:37] <dnivra> maco, looking at your description it seems like a hardware issue :(. but it worked fine earlier.
[17:37] <Bondv6> zerty, It usually indicates a software problem. it means a subprocess has finished executing, but is still in the process table: "ps aux | grep Z" should list them
[17:37] <Meway> I can take a screenshot if needed
[17:37] <maco> dnivra: you're describing a bug being introduced into a driver
[17:37] <Cameron> So, yeah, I installed Linux onto this PC and resized an NTFS partition while doing so
[17:37] <dnivra> maco, i deleted the old kernels :(. i have a 9.10 live cd with me, think i should try copying kernels from there?
[17:37] <bonjoyee> maco: i have moved to debian after 3 years with ubuntu..but its a nice feature..
[17:37] <Cameron> I can access the files on the NTFS partition
[17:37] <Meway> Cameron, um lol
[17:37] <Petskull> hey, guy- is the x64 version of ubuntu still fraught with trouble, or is it better now?
[17:38] <Cameron> but now XP won't boot
[17:38] <Petskull> "guys"
[17:38] <maco> bonjoyee: cjwatson would know whether it's in debian's d-i. he's the maintainer in ubuntu and i think in debian as well
[17:38] <dnivra> maco, so you think it could be a bug in maverick?
[17:38] <Cameron> Says DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
[17:38] <cryptic[1]> hi, i need help in partitions
[17:38] <cryptic[1]> im installing ubuntu
[17:38] <maco> dnivra: yes
[17:39] <Meway> Caelum, yea grub kinda kills windows
[17:39] <Petskull> hmm.. no thoughts?
[17:39] <ikonia> Meway: not it doesnt will or touch windows
[17:39] <maco> Meway: er..not usually...
[17:39] <ikonia> Meway: it simpley replaced the master boot record on the disk
[17:39] <cryptic[1]> what partitions i should create
[17:39] <dnivra> maco, can i collect more details on what's going wrong? any suggestions?
[17:39] <Meway> maco, it has for me
[17:39] <cryptic[1]> and how big
[17:39] <cryptic[1]> and what system
[17:39] <Cameron> Yeah, but it usually works out fine and lets me dual-boot
[17:39] <gusttavo> Have a brazilian here?
[17:39] <Cameron> This time, not so much
[17:39] <ikonia> Meway: no it hasn't grub does not touch windows
[17:39] <ikonia> !br | gusttavo
[17:39] <maco> dnivra: i dont know how to debug that level. could try in #ubuntu-bugs and say you're trying to figure out what info to put in a bug report on it
[17:39] <wick94> hey guys, is there a progrm availble for ubuntu tht allows u to do voice chat?
[17:39] <san_> guys

[17:40] <FloodBot2> san_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:40] <Meway> ikonia, that could be the issue there
[17:40] <maco> wick94: empathy, pidgin, kopete, skype
[17:40] <ikonia> Meway: what could be the issue ?
[17:40] <bencahill> dumb question, how do i delete a line break in vi
[17:40] <wick94> maco they dnt let u do voice chat :P
[17:40] <Meway> ikonia, it does not touch windows so much it does not even show up
[17:40] <maco> wick94: yes they do
[17:40] <maco> wick94: since a year ago...
[17:40] <ikonia> Meway: it doesn't need to touch it to make it show up
[17:40] <san_> right now i m working in 9.10 wenever i upgrade or do fresh instal from cd it jst doesnt load sad not 10.04 not even 10.10
[17:41] <wick94> maco empathy and pidgin doesnt let me do it with yaho usrs :P
[17:41] <wick94> idk y
[17:41] <rautamiekka> I came to an idea where putting a file into specific folder would auto-upload that to other Ubuntu computer. Is that possible ? Symlinks rose up as one part of the plan.
[17:41] <D3ath101> kill command willl not work to exit it either
[17:41] <maco> wick94: oh you didnt specify yahoo. no idea on that
[17:41] <wick94> lol
[17:41] <Meway> ikonia, Its just something nice that could be touched on :p
[17:41] <cryptic[1]> Plz give me link which partitions i should create
[17:41] <rumpe1> rautamiekka, ubunto-one
[17:41] <maco> wick94: for xmpp (aka jabber, google talk, etc) they both work
[17:41] <bonjoyee>  rautamiekka: setup nfs..share the folder on both!!
[17:41] <D3ath101> its PID is 1959, what exactly would i type into terminal?
[17:42] <wick94> maco ya i lookng for somethng for yahoo
[17:42] <maco> D3ath101: kill 1959
[17:42] <maco> D3ath101: if thats not a big enough hammer, kill -9 1959
[17:42] <maco> wick94: i think you're out of luck then
[17:42] <dnivra> D3ath101, kill 1959. if that doesn't work, try kill -9 1959. should d it.
[17:42] <oldskoolpulsar> why does the sound cards on macs sound so unique?
[17:42] <wick94> ah mann
[17:42] <oldskoolpulsar> uniqe audio reproduction
[17:42] <D3ath101> ok, the -9 worked
[17:42] <oldskoolpulsar> do they use a weird DAC ?
[17:42] <D3ath101> what exactly does the -9 do?
[17:42] <Meway> ikonia, I'll be off than, no need for me to troll around sense nobody cares much about graphical blank spots on panel bars
[17:43] <maco> oldskoolpulsar: thats not realy on topic here
[17:43] <dnivra> D3ath101, no mercy :)
[17:43] <D3ath101> lol
[17:43] <rautamiekka> cryptic[1]: You were installing Ubuntu ?
[17:43] <wick94> maco is there one for msn?
[17:43] <oldskoolpulsar> lol im using ubuntu 10.10 on this powerpc
[17:43] <oldskoolpulsar> really cool stuff
[17:43] <maco> D3ath101: default signal is SIGTERM (15) which tells it to please exit nicely now
[17:43] <maco> D3ath101: 9 is SIGKILL which is merciless
[17:43] <D3ath101> :) that makes me smile inside
[17:43] <maco> wick94: emesene maybe
[17:43] <dnivra> D3ath101, check out man kill. it's explained there :).
[17:44] <wick94> ok
[17:44] <D3ath101> ok, thank you
[17:44] <wilgil> anyone know what would cause drives to change /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc on reboot
[17:44] <ikonia> Meway: ok
[17:44] <oldskoolpulsar> any of you guys know how to get this working on 10.10 ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (rev 01)
[17:44] <wick94> maco for yahoo i thnk there is this one called gyachi bt it kinda annoying
[17:44] <Meway> I have a 64x machine with 8g of ram would ubuntu x64 recognize all 8g
[17:44] <ikonia> Meway: yes
[17:44] <oldskoolpulsar> its inside my mac and no opengl's
[17:44] <oldskoolpulsar> i wanted compiz
[17:44] <rautamiekka> Meway: Don't see why it shouldn't.
[17:44] <bonjoyee> Meway: try a livecd!!
[17:44] <Meway> mhm ok I will poke it and see if it wakes up
[17:45] <rautamiekka> Meway: The x64 was made so that you can use more than 4, after all.
[17:45] <oldskoolpulsar> all software rendered iv added an xorg.conf with manual settings and wondering why no hardware 3d ?
[17:46] <cryptic[1]> rautamiekka yes im installing ubuntu on another desktop, and i dont know what partitions to do
[17:46] <Bondv6> wilgil, it has something to do with device ordering. you could mount them with /dev/disk/by-uuid/ or /dev/disk/by-label if they have filesystem labels. those won't change like the devices can do
[17:46] <ikonia> cryptic[1]: take the ubuntu default ones if you're not confident
[17:46] <rautamiekka> cryptic[1]: Does the computer have other Operating Systems ?
[17:46] <cryptic[1]> no
[17:46] <Meway> Ok I decided I have more questions blah so I'm back
[17:47] <cryptic[1]> but there is still windows there
[17:47] <cryptic[1]> and i want to delete
[17:47] <cryptic[1]> so i need to configure manually
[17:47] <ikonia> cryptic[1]: take the ubuntu default/recommended
[17:47] <cryptic[1]> where can i get the differences of ext4 and the others
[17:47] <cryptic[1]> i want to know what im doing
[17:48] <giallo87> I need help with Ubuntu 10.10 how to stream to shoutcast or icecast from microphone!!!
[17:48] <ikonia> cryptic[1]: trust ubuntu, use ext4
[17:48] <dwain> I have a file that's executable, but when I try to run it, even with the exact path to it, it says "No such file or directory" - any help?
[17:48] <cryptic[1]> k
[17:48] <ikonia> dwain: what is the file location
[17:48] <dwain> it's at /home/dwain/jtvlc-lin-0.41/jtvlc
[17:48] <ikonia> dwain: ls -la /home/dwain/jtvlc-lin-0.41/jtvlc
[17:49] <Meway> ok batch files. you can simply put in the directory/that/your/program/is.exe or just terminal command. Is there an equivalent to that for ubuntu's gui? I want to be able to make something that I can just click on and it will execute in terminal this line: mana -u -d Documents/OpenSourceProjects/Tmw/mainline/ -p 6901 -s <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:49] <CarlFK> giallo87: you need an icecast client - I would ask in #icecast
[17:49] <bonjoyee> dwain: try file <filename>....it is proper architecture?
[17:49] <llutz_> dwain: file /home/dwain/jtvlc-lin-0.41/jtvlc
[17:49] <ikonia> Meway: .exe's are for windows
[17:49] <dwain> It's not a .exe

[17:49] <cryptic[1]> ikonia> there is no recommended
[17:49] <rautamiekka> cryptic[1]: Here's features of EXT4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
[17:49] <ikonia> Meway: research "shell scripts" and "crontabl"
[17:49] <ikonia> dwain: ok, so only root will be able to execute that
[17:49] <Meway> ikonia, I just want to know the equivalent of a batch file. <- .bat is also windows.
[17:49] <ikonia> dwain: acually, no that's wrong
[17:50] <ikonia> Meway: a shell script
[17:50] <FloodBot2> ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:50] <dwain> and yes, it's for the proper architecture. It runs on my desktop but not on my server

[17:50] <rautamiekka> cryptic[1]: So you want to rid of Window$ that's on the computer ?
[17:50] <wilgil> Bondv6: Thanks, the problem is that i do not want to mount them exactly.  I am trying to add a raid 5 array to an existing system.  when I built the array it came up and i mounted it then added to fstab.  on reboot the array was missing a drive.  I noticed that the boot drive (sda) was now sdb in gparted.  any thoughts would be appreciated
[17:50] <bonjoyee> dwain: yes the output of  file /home/dwain/jtvlc-lin-0.41/jtvlc please
[17:50] <dwain> /home/dwain/jtvlc-lin-0.41/jtvlc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped
[17:50] <cryptic[1]> ikonia> where do i get the recommended partititons? i will do manually the recommended
[17:50] <Meway> ikonia, idk how to use shell script. If you could give me an example of it starting the following line in a terminal it would be great. mana -u -d Documents/OpenSourceProjects/Tmw/mainline/ -p 6901 -s <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:51] <bencahill> bonjoyee: can you help me with the usb install, now that sam is gone? :)
[17:51] <D3ath101> what is the gbackground  package?
[17:51] <ikonia> cryptic[1]: when you install it asks you to use the whole disk, recommended or manual, choose anything but manual
[17:51] <llutz_> dwain: ls -ld /home/dwain/jtvlc-lin-0.41/
[17:51] <ikonia> Meway: research shell scripts
[17:51] <wilgil> Bondv6: also the raid array was sdb, sdc, and sdd.  I was thinking that when sda and sdb swapped places that dropped the drive from the array.  Do you think I am on the right track?
[17:51] <Meway> ikonia, I did and it does not look anywhere near as easy as .bat files
[17:51] <bonjoyee> bencahill: how far have you come?
[17:51] <ikonia> Meway: it's not
[17:52] <bencahill> bonjoyee: I've copied everything on there, minus proc, sys, and dev, do I need to recreate those?

[17:52] <Meway> ikonia, so why say its the equivalent ?
[17:52] <ikonia> dwain: ldd home/dwain/jtvlc-lin-0.41/jtvlc
[17:52] <bencahill> bonjoyee: I have a 1.8GB main ext2, and 260MB swap
[17:52] <ikonia> Meway: because it is the same thing, it's just not as easy, but it is once you start to use it
[17:52] <dwain> ikonia, ldd: home/dwain/jtvlc-lin-0.41/jtvlc: No such file or directory
[17:52] <bonjoyee> bencahill: do it..doesn't hurt!
[17:53] <ikonia> dwain: you missed / infront of home
[17:53] <chainlock> hi
[17:53] <Bondv6> wilgil, if you are using mdraid, it should label the drives so they will mount correctly
[17:53] <cryptic[1]> well the system is still ntfs, but i thought it must be ext4.
[17:53] <ikonia> cryptic[1]: it should be
[17:53] <dwain> "	not a dynamic executable"
[17:53] <bonjoyee> bencahill: have u not done a clean install?
[17:53] <ikonia> cryptic[1]: the partitioner will do this for you if you accept the defaults
[17:53] <ikonia> dwain: ahh ha
[17:53] <CarlFK> ikonia: it think it is just as easy for similar task.  it gets harder when you want to do stuff that you can't really do in a .bat - in that case I don't think easy/hard is really an issue
[17:53] <tehbaut2> I'm using a live cd and transferring files from one drive to another it says it cannot create a folder because "Error creating directory: no space left on device" ...but there are in fact 1.5TB left on this device! Any idea why it's throwing this error? Google hasn't been of any help.
[17:54] <Meway> ikonia, ok I guess I have no choice than. :/
[17:54] <ikonia> CarlFK: I don't disagree,
[17:54] <wilgil> i am pretty new to software raid in linux.  i am using mdadm.  I am not sure if that is the same thing or not.
[17:54] <wilgil> Bondv6: sorry, i am pretty new to software raid in linux.  i am using mdadm.  I am not sure if that is the same thing or not.
[17:55] <dwain> ikonia, So what does that mean? The exact same file runs fine on my Ubuntu Desktop machine.
[17:56] <bonjoyee> dwain: desktop and server both 32bit?
[17:56] <Bondv6> wilgil, yeah, that was what I was thinking of too. md raid
[17:56] <dwain> No, they're both 64 bit
[17:56] <ikonia> dwain: it means it's linked against files that are static
[17:56] <bonjoyee> dwain: but the file is 32bit!
[17:56] <ikonia> it's linked against libs that are not there, probably because your host is 64bit and the binary is 32bit5
[17:57] <bonjoyee> dwain: ia32-libs installed on server?
[17:57] <dwain> Ahhh. No, I don't think they are
[17:57] <D3ath101> Does anybody know if I can Host a website, from a server in my bedroom, in an apartment complex, where the internet is high speed, but shared by 50 other rooms?
[17:57] <bonjoyee> dwain:  and on desktop?
[17:57] <dwain> installing it now
[17:57] <dwain> Yes, I think it's installed on the desktop
[17:58] <ikonia> D3ath101: contact the ISP and ask them
[17:58] <D3ath101> ok
[17:58] <bonjoyee> dwain: hmmm
[17:58] <dwain> Thanks for your help. I'll install, try that and see if that wored

[18:02] <bencahill> bonjoyee: wouldn't work, the installer would always say corrupted files when installing from 4 different cds, all good :(
[18:02] <cysioland> How to turn off vertical sync in NVIDIA G105M? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
[18:02] <bonjoyee> bencahill: so now what?
[18:02] <bencahill> bonjoyee: I just tried it, and it says Error: unknown device: (long uuid here)
[18:03] <murph_> Hi, I have two ubuntu operating systems stored on seperate partitions, i would like to hide the file system from one so the other cannot see it, how do i do this?
[18:03] <bencahill> bonjoyee: the uuid is the one of the ext2 partition on the usb drive, in the usb drive's fstab
[18:03] <bencahill> bonjoyee: although it may be in grub also... ?
[18:03] <aeon-ltd> cysioland: google around for a xorg.conf option
[18:04] <bencahill> bonjoyee: the usb light never flashed, so I don't think grub can see it...

[18:05] <cysioland> aeon-ltd But I want to change that property when lauching game, not on startup
[18:05] <bencahill> bonjoyee: some others said that even if the bios doesn't support booting to usb, this way (grub on hdd, booting to / on usb) would work...
[18:05] <bencahill> bonjoyee: yes it did, and I made the folders...
[18:05] <bencahill> s/folders/dirs/
[18:05] <aeon-ltd> cysioland: a script then that swaps the xorg.conf file for one with the v sync option then restart x then start the game
[18:06] <Wyn> gladiator: setup Evolution and try ?

[18:07] <aeon-ltd> !anyone | St018
[18:08] <bonjoyee> bencahill: then u booted your  hdd install?

[18:09] <bencahill> bonjoyee: i did that inside the hdd install, and then edited fstab, made the proc/sys/dev dirs, ran sudo update-grub, and then rebooted and selected the new item on the grub list
[18:09] <St018> i have 2 kernel versions on my boot screen
[18:09] <bencahill> s/fstab/fstab on the usb/
[18:09] <System_Default_0> Trashi: Of course, but make ensure, you have installed the right drivers.
[18:09] <St018> so  i want to remove 1 of them
[18:09] <gladiator> aeon-ltd, not sure how to check firewall. i have a router but i am pretty certain i didnt put up any blocks (i set it up myself). im running 10.10 . Wyn ive tried FF and chrome. trying to setup evolution
[18:10] <aeon-ltd> murph_: encrypting it *should* do it, but seriously unless hiding it is for security the downsides of encrypting both oses is far greater than the benefits
[18:10] <Trashi> System_Default_0: well its the original linux driver from nvidia ... but i dont know, how to do this?
[18:10] <bonjoyee> bencahill: did grub detect the new usb install?
[18:10] <System_Default_0> Trashi: Check for missing drivers at System > Administration > Drivers
[18:10] <bencahill> bonjoyee: yes
[18:10] <System_Default_0> Trashi: Or whatever it says
[18:10] <bonjoyee> bencahill: so what happens now?

[18:11] <bencahill> bonjoyee: well that was the first line of it
[18:11] <bonjoyee> bencahill: ok..u have to change the uuid for the / in fstab of the usb install
[18:11] <bencahill> bonjoyee: but it's like it couldn't see the usb drive
[18:11] <squander> where can I see the changelog of the latest ubuntu kernel ?
[18:11] <bencahill> bonjoyee: i know, i fixed that all up
[18:12] <gladiator> Wyn, it appears to be working with evolution. fething summary for new messages in INBOX
[18:12] <bonjoyee> bencahill: using blkid?

[18:12] <bencahill> bonjoyee: yes
[18:12] <St018> can i replace my grub.cfg later with live cd version of ubuntu?
[18:12] <bencahill> bonjoyee: i used tee -a to append, and then moved it around, so no error from copying...

[18:25] <ZykoticK9> k-rad, Gnome is being replaced by Unity in 11.04 (but there is still an option to use "classic"), but that's a separate issue from gnome-shell (personally i think gnome-shell is very cool, but still buggy)
[18:25] <Jemt> I would expect 'prompt 1' in isolinux.cfg to force the boot menu to be displayed. It doesn't work

[18:29] <bencahill> bonjoyee: oh right, I'm not using that grub, but the grub on the hdd, sorry, that's the one on the usb :P
[18:29] <bencahill> bonjoyee: one sec :)
[18:31] <dwain> I can access a page from localhost on the server using w3m / Lynx, but I can't access it from another machine on the LAN. Any ideas why?
[18:32] <bonjoyee> dwain: can u ping the server from the desktop?
[18:32] <dwain> Yes.
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> dwain:  check firewall settings.  also.
[18:32] <stiltwater> dwain, if it's only available on localhost, it won't be available to another machine.  it has to be  available at your.lan.ip.whatever
[18:32] <dwain> The firewall is set to allow all traffic.
[18:33] <dwain> I know, I'm trying to access it through the LAN IP address (i.e. <IP_ADDRESS>)
[18:33] <dwain> I can access other sites on the server, such as Webmin
[18:33] <dwain> But not this one.
[18:33] <bonjoyee> dwain: install nmap on your desktop..and do nmap -PN <serverip>
[18:33] <ArKoNA> #liberatedAria
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> dwain:  its possible tjhe web server has some security settings on it. to allow only specific interfaces,
[18:34] <dwain> Dr_Willis, it has a hosts file, which I've edited to allow all connections
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> dwain:  then again - if webmin has been used to configure the web server.. it may have done somthign wrong. webmin is not reccomened to use on Ubuntu.
[18:34] <stiltwater> dwain, my point was, on the server, it's available at http://localhost:whatever.  Is it available, on the server, to http://servers.own.ip.address:whatever ?
[18:34] <dwain> No, webmin did not configure the web server.
[18:35] <stiltwater> if not, it won't be available to other computers at http://servers.own.ip.address:whatever either.
[18:35] <Ashattack22> i have a quick question
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> could be it wants https:// vs http://
[18:35] <BotnetLLORT> windows is better
[18:35] <bencahill> bonjoyee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546049/
[18:35] <Ashattack22> anyone know what to do when the grub is not working ?
[18:35] <bencahill> bonjoyee: sorry about that :)
[18:35] <dwain> stiltwater, Ah. No, when I try to connect via the IP address rather than localhost, it doesn't work
[18:35] <roxdragon> i have a hp ipaq hx2400 with windows mobile -.-
[18:35] <Ashattack22> can't access root password
[18:35] <ZykoticK9> !webman | dwain FYI
[18:35] <roxdragon> it's possible linux or android?
[18:35] <bencahill> bonjoyee: gone to lunch, be back in a bit...
[18:35] <ZykoticK9> !webmin | dwain FYI
[18:36] <stiltwater> dwain, so the server is only binding to the localhost interface, and not the ethernet interface.   That's what you have to fix in the server configuration.
[18:36] <Abhish> I have an ALPS touchpad. For the love of god can I get this thing to shut off while typing?
[18:36] <dwain> stiltwater, Ah. So I need to bind it with eth0 for example?
[18:37] <stiltwater> dwain, yes (assuming eth0 is the network interface, of course).
[18:37] <tehbaut2> I created a USB drive using that pendrive software for Windows, but the format must not be compatible with my machine, because I've booted from USB drives before
[18:37] <bonjoyee> bencahill: check the kernel line for the usb install..still uses the UUID of the hdd install!!
[18:38] <bonjoyee> bencahill: change that to the uuid of the usb partition!
[18:40] <tehbaut2> Any ideas why the pendrive software wouldn't work for my machine?
[18:41] <EvilRoey> cats4gold, that sounds like a great idea
[18:42] <dvanstone> which ubuntu distro should I use for a dell gx110
[18:42] <dvanstone> !download
[18:43] <dvanstone> !release
[18:43] <dvanstone> !spec
[18:43] <dvanstone> !memory
[18:44] <Spec> dvanstone: yo
[18:44] <ZykoticK9> dvanstone, you can use "/msg ubottu !foo" to get factoids privately
[18:44] <Spec> !-spec
[18:44] <dvanstone> !requirements
[18:44] <dvanstone> hey whats up
[18:45] <nicofs> How can I change the language of my system? (Menu entries, ... - not keyboard, though)
[18:46] <tehbaut2> No one here is an expert on USB Ubuntu?
[18:46] <xangua> !usb | tehbaut
[18:47] <trism> nicofs: install the language packs you want in System/Administration/Language Support, then select your language after you select your name of the gdm login screen
[18:47] <tehbaut2> xangua: been through that already, it didn't help
[18:48] <nicofs> trism, login screen... could have thought of that myself... thanks... is there no way to just change while running...?

[18:49] <elias79> how to use ramdisks ?
[18:49]  * maco pets idoru
[18:49] <elias79> how to use ramdisks ?
[18:49] <kury> elias79: google tmpfs
[18:49] <trism> nicofs: you can specify a different locale on the command line for a specific program: LANG=ja_JP.utf8 gedit; for example, but I am unsure if you can change the whole session language without logging out first
[18:49] <waltercool> elias79, mount -t tmpfs none "folder" ?
[18:49] <elias79> i nkow about tmpfs but i did not work
[18:50] <elias79> whats none for ?
[18:50] <nicofs> trism, that's even better... thank you...
[18:50] <tehbaut2> nicofs: No, system just doesn't detect the flash drive
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> elias79:  ive seen some guides on it.. but id have to google for the info - not used that in ages.
[18:50] <waltercool> elias79, none is none :) The command is "mount source destination"
[18:51] <nicofs> tehbaut, what file system?
[18:51] <nicofs> tehbaut2, i mean
[18:51] <jsec> Hi all. Buying a new laptop today, wiping it and installing 10.04.1. Any suggestions on best brand laptop for running Linux?
[18:51] <elias79> thanks
[18:51] <waltercool> elias79, just try it, if you want a specific size, try adding -o size=128m (when 128m is 128MB)
[18:51] <healthycola> hey guys, i'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but i figured someone here would know
[18:51] <tehbaut2> nicofs: I think the drive was kept as NTFS
[18:51] <healthycola> what is Lockup free cache?
[18:52] <healthycola> can someone explain the concept to me?
[18:52] <elias79> will it allocate the size from ram ?
[18:52] <healthycola> i understand prefetching
[18:52] <nicofs> tehbaut2, what did you create the key with?
[18:52] <tehbaut2> nicofs: wasn't sure if file system mattered
[18:52] <waltercool> elias79, dynamic size as i know
[18:52] <elias79> how does dynamic size work ?
[18:53] <waltercool> elias79, when you add a file, the ram usage will grow
[18:53] <elias79> im want to put an virtual machine on it
[18:53] <tehbaut2> nicofs: I used the Linux pendrive utility on Windows, just as recommended on the download page
[18:53] <elias79> oh
[18:53] <elias79> so if its not growing somethings not right
[18:53] <elias79> am i correct or not
[18:53] <tehbaut2> nicofs: I opted not to reformat the drive because I don't think that would make any difference
[18:54] <D3ath101> i need a program like netstumbler, for ubuntu 10.10. any suggs?
[18:54] <nicofs> tehbaut2, try http://old.linuxliveusb.com/ i think that tool is better... otherwise try to set the bootflag for your pen...
[18:54] <waltercool> elias79, its like a common hard disk, but your free space is shared with your ram usage
[18:55] <elias79> ok
[18:55] <Wyn> D3ath101: welcome back :D  first, try running Netstumbler under Wine
[18:55] <waltercool> elias79, fill your tmpfs and you will filling your ram usage ;)
[18:55] <elias79> what about dev/smh what that for ?
[18:55] <D3ath101> Wyn: yea, ill be here alot
[18:55] <D3ath101> lol
[18:55] <elias79> is that the same type
[18:55] <waltercool> elias79, is a tmpfs drive ;)
[18:56] <Wyn> D3ath101: Also Prism, SWScanner
[18:56] <tehbaut2> nicofs: will give it a shot, thanks :)
[18:56] <waltercool> elias79, is commonly used for volatile cache
[18:56] <Wyn> D3ath101: cool, great place to learn stuff unrelated to WOW
[18:56] <elias79> why do people talk about grub when using dev/smh ?
[18:57] <MagicJ> can someone please explain to me the meanings of the numbers at the start of each entry in the output from dmesg
[18:57] <waltercool> elias79, uhmmm sorry, idk about that, im using gentoo btw
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> MagicJ:  i think its like some sort of date/time. ibe never figured it out. :)
[18:57] <MagicJ> De_Willis - I agree - but the question is what
[18:57] <elias79> ok
[18:57] <MagicJ> Dr_willis=De_willis - sorry
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> MagicJ:  start with man dmesg perhaps
[18:58] <waltercool> elias79, but /dev/shm is just tmpfs for applications
[18:58] <mtraker> do you know siteurgent.com . I've my site there and I cant see the site
[18:58] <MagicJ> Dr_Willis - I did start there - that's why I am here
[18:58] <trism> MagicJ: I think it is seconds since boot
[18:58] <D3ath101> speaking of wow, i should prolly do an instALL.
[18:58] <MagicJ> ah - let me test that theory trism - that may make sense and I can check that - brb
[18:59] <waltercool> elias79, tmpfs is really useful for cache ;) Im currently using tmpfs on /tmp
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> heh - man dmesg - says to see 'man syslogd' but there seems to be no syslogd man page
[18:59] <waltercool> elias79, what do you wanna do with tmpfs and virtualization?
[18:59] <bezao> i did this to share a folder " mount -t vboxsf gnuworld /home/gnuworld" but now all my files on my home directory is gone! i do ls /home/gnuworld everything is gone, i lost it? what can i do?

[19:02] <xak944> is there a way (perhaps a config file in /etc i could remove?) to reset all bluetooth/pulseaudio configs?
[19:02] <gsp2009> Hey folks. Any advantage to fresh install of 10.10 over upgrades from several versions?
[19:02] <rumpe1> bezao, you regain it by umount /home/gnuworld
[19:02] <bezao> rumpe1 aah okay, how can i share /home/bla directory? i did it wrong?
[19:02] <chaos2358> go frsh install. less cluter, hassle and time

[19:03] <chaos2358> Braber01,  pm me i JUST did this two days ago i will walk you through
[19:04] <gsp2009> chaos2358: ok... I figured. I am contemplating backing up and reinstalling fresh. All this in hopes of getting a better performing machine.
[19:04] <chaos2358> gsp2009, yea go fresh always
[19:04] <rumpe1> bezao, you are aware of the possible problems when editing files unter linux and windows?
[19:05] <chaos2358> gsp2009,  well not always but anytime its more then just one distro up
[19:05] <bezao> rumpe1 yes
[19:05] <xak944> any pulseaudio/a2dp/bluetooth gurus here? i've got an issue that's really stumping me... :(

[19:05] <lancel> hi, don't know if this is the right channel ask this but do anyone know if there is a free and handy way to point my ip to some sensible address for temporal usage?
[19:06] <herghost> lancel: google dyndns
[19:06] <rumpe1> bezao, set "shared folder" in virtualbox ... or put soft/hardlinks to it
[19:06] <bezao> rumpe1 i already have 2 folder shared on virtualbox
[19:06] <lancel> herghost, ok thanks, lets take a look
[19:07] <marel> Is there any easy and quick way to dual boot windows when I have only Ubuntu installed ?

[19:08] <lancel> marel, i had first ubuntu, now i have both, and there are somewhere good instructions that work well
[19:08] <gsp2009> chaos2358: well.. this machine has been upgraded for every version from 8.04. While I have no proof, it seems to me that things just keep getting messier every time... You think it is worth my time to backup and start over?
[19:08] <rumpe1> bezao, why not " mount -t vboxsf gnuworld /home/gnuworld/sharedfolder" ?
[19:08] <tresden34> can i run irc via polipo/tor?
