[17:08] <llutz> Combatjuan: drwsrwsr-x  = 6775
[17:08] <dottstranoforte> posso chiedere un aiutino ad una persona in chat?
[17:09] <bigbrovar> Hi guys I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a fujitu Pi3066 laptop everything pretty much works fine except the camera indicator light is always on. anyone experienced this time of issue before ?
[17:09] <RaTTuS|BIG> !it dottstranoforte
[17:09] <RaTTuS|BIG> dottstranoforte !it
[17:09] <ThinkT510> !it | dottstranoforte
[17:10] <RaTTuS|BIG> thats the one ;-p
[17:10] <dottstranoforte> cè un italiano?
[17:11] <Combatjuan> llutz: It's just not working.  chown 2775 backups -> "drwsrwsr-x" ; chown 6775 backups -> "drwsrwsr-x";  Whichever I use, it acts as though the setuid bit is set.  But according to wikipedia the setuid bit is ignored on directories under linux.
[17:11] <Braber01> how do I tell ubuntu that I want my keyring enabled as soon as I login with my login shell?
[17:11] <llutz> Combatjuan: CHMOD lowercase, not chown
[17:11] <Combatjuan> Sorry, mistyped.  Yes, I am using chmod
[17:12] <llutz> Combatjuan: then theres something broken. even if its ignored, it sets/reads fine here (debian + ubuntu 10.10)
[17:12] <theadmin> Combatjuan: Is the filesystem mounted with a uid option?
[17:12] <dr_willis> SoWhat:  the #ubuntuone channel may help better with that.
[17:12] <ninjaaron> Does anyone know a good irc channel for getting support with the `dict` program?
[17:12] <Pr0n-Sifu> does /dev/random collect data from hdd and cdrom activity?
[17:13] <Combatjuan> theadmin: It's ext4 and the only option is "errors=remount-ro".
[17:13] <llutz> theadmin: "uid" is not a valid mount-option for unix-fs
[17:13] <theadmin> llutz: I didn't know which filesystem type it is though -- coulda been some NTFS
[17:14] <theadmin> Combatjuan: I see... hm.
[17:14] <llutz> theadmin: then chown/chmod haven't worked at all
[17:14] <SoWhat> dr_willis: thanks
[17:14] <Combatjuan> FYI: "chmod o-s backups" also doesn't change it.
[17:15] <Pr0n-Sifu> does /dev/random collect data from hdd and cdrom activity?
[17:16] <eSoul> can anyone say they are using zfs on ubuntu 11.10?
[17:16] <Sichvot> How would one set up a remote desktop session.. one that you could log in from the server machine and run a program and then log in with the same account and run another instance of that program of a different one without interacting with the first instance?
[17:17] <Combatjuan> Could it be affected by the directory being owned by root:backup (either owner=root or owner != group)?  I don't know.  Near as I can tell, it is just flat out broken.
[17:17] <ThinkT510> eSoul: i could say it but it wouldn't be true :)
[17:17] <korsakof> is there a way to change the alt-tab behavior in oneiric? I would like alt-tab to show only apps from current workspace...
[17:17] <eSoul> haha, thanks for the heads up ThinkT510
[17:17] <eSoul> Sichvot, you may wanna look at screen if you are just running terminal apps
[17:18] <bullgard6> After ripping a CD, k3b reports: "Removed sound devices. KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed. Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices? This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed: * Capture: Playback/recording through the PulseAudio server; Output: Intel ICH6 with AD1981B; Output: Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound...
[17:18] <bullgard6> ...server. Yes - No - Manage Devices"   I wonder  how  can internal sound devices have been removed at all  and how should I answer this message.
[17:18] <ThinkT510> korsakof: is that on unity? if so then you might want to check out ccsm
[17:18] <kompjuter> QQ
[17:18] <junglejim> hi, Just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10  ... looks nice but am finding it runs super slow ... harddrive seems to thrash quite a bit. Any ideas why?
[17:18] <Aldus> Hi. I just bought a brand new Asus X53S which was publicized to have 6Gb of RAM. In the BIOS, indeed, I see 6Gb of RAM available. BUT... if I run "top" from my shell I see "Mem:   2751208k total,  1809572k used,   941636k free,    47924k buffers". Where are the other 4Gb?!
[17:18] <Sichvot> eSoul .. I was thinking of a full gui interface. screen is great for terminal applications i agree but i'm wanting to do it for a complete gnome desktop.
[17:19] <korsakof> ThinkT510: thanks!
[17:19] <eSoul> haha, them Sichvot, let me know if you find something, I havent found anything to take care of that either
[17:19] <eSoul> havent looked super hard though
[17:19] <ThinkT510> korsakof: no worries :)
[17:19] <lapion> anyone know how to get ati-radion r128 support in oneiric ?
[17:20] <Sichvot> eSoul, I know you can do it.. I did it once on 10.04 but I screwed that install up so bad it was unrecoverable. and haven't figure out how i did it.
[17:21] <bullgard6> junglejim: To find out, use Disk Utility.
[17:22] <x404x> i updated smb.conf with the proper workgroup and still after reboot it comes up in the wrong group , why ?
[17:23] <Secret_Hamster> what's the official method of restoring iptables on ubuntu server?
[17:23] <ThinkT510> Aldus: you could try running sudo lshw
[17:24] <bullgard6> !iptables | Secret_Hamster
[17:24] <ThinkT510> Aldus: you may need to install it first (sudo apt-get install lshw)
[17:24] <Secret_Hamster> ahh ufw. oh
[17:24] <Secret_Hamster> better go look at that, used to hand crafting with iptables
[17:25] <Aldus> ThinkT510, thank you, trying
[17:26] <Aldus> ThinkT510, long output from sudo lshw. What is the relevant part?
[17:26] <RaTTuS|BIG> Aldus df -h
[17:27] <ThinkT510> Aldus: pastebin it, lets see
[17:27] <Aldus> http://www.pastie.org/2970397 output from df -h
[17:27] <Aldus> http://www.pastie.org/2970395 output from sudo lshw
[17:28] <korsakof> ThinkT510: thanks. I have activated the old "static application switcher" and deactivate the switcher shortcuts... Work like a charm.
[17:28] <ThinkT510> !yay | korsakof
[17:29] <Aldus> someone on another channel suggested the problem might be that I installed 32bit ubuntu
[17:29] <TBotNik> Hey All:  Trying to solve an install issue with Excel Spreadsheet extensions for company server to run some reports.  Write up at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11514879#post11514879.
[17:29] <junglejim> bullgard6: Thx - Disk seems fine ... It more that I'm finding a general slowness about 11.10 - I have an laptop with 1 Gig mem and an Intel Pentium M  1.6GHz. Is that not enough horse-power for 11.10
[17:29] <ThinkT510> Aldus: yes, 32bit won't address above 4gb
[17:30] <ThinkT510> Aldus: according to your paste you do indeed have 6gb ram
[17:30] <TheMac> what do I need to install in ubuntu to get a simple C++ environment working? As of now, I cannot compile a simple program.
[17:30] <Aldus> ThinkT510, however I see 2.8 which is weird
[17:30] <ThinkT510> Aldus: 4gb and 2gb modules
[17:30] <wingdspur> TheMac: build-essential
[17:30] <ThinkT510> Aldus: 32bit won't let you use more than 4gb
[17:31] <Aldus> ThinkT510, ok...
[17:31] <mikepawns> hey
[17:31] <ThinkT510> Aldus: you really should use 64bit ubuntu
[17:31] <mikepawns> can someone help me with my trackpad?
[17:31] <mikepawns> it was working fine,
[17:31] <mikepawns> i installed java, now it's not showing under xlist
[17:31] <bullgard6> junglejim: That could be the case. I have heard similar complaints. I myself am using a more powerful laptop and I do not have such slow response.
[17:31] <TheMac> wingdspur: So, apt-get install build-essential?
[17:31] <wingdspur> yep
[17:32] <TheMac> how do I turn off Ubuntu's screen lock that happens after a period of inactivity?
[17:32] <bimeggy> hey all, not sure if this is the best place to do this, but I am running 11.10 and my raid 5 array (using mdadm) suddenly split into two and will not join
[17:32] <bimeggy> any ideas?
[17:32] <Aldus> ThinkT510, I wish I knew it before, unfortunately I spent about 10 hours configuring everything I needed :(
[17:32] <Aldus> isn't there another way?
[17:32] <wingdspur> TheMac: that will get you gcc/g++ compilers
[17:32] <TheMac> awesome, got it
[17:32] <ThinkT510> TheMac: check powermanager settings, or screensaver settings
[17:32] <TheMac> thanks a lot
[17:32] <TheMac> im not new to linux, but brand new to Ubuntu and don't know where that is
[17:33] <ThinkT510> Aldus: not really no
[17:33] <mikepawns> hello
[17:33] <dr_willis> TheMac:  top right theres a gear/settings icon :)
[17:33] <ThinkT510> TheMac: oh, if you are using unity i can't help you, i use xfce
[17:33] <Aldus> ThinkT510, ok. You think that running a live cd I could check if the RAM is ok with the 64bit Ubuntu?
[17:33] <dr_willis> a Gearcon? :)
[17:34] <ThinkT510> Aldus: not sure what you mean... will a 64bit livecd use all the ram? yes
[17:34] <dr_willis> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2011/04/21/the-power-user%E2%80%99s-guide-to-unity/      seems like a decent collection of unity guides/manuals
[17:35] <mikepawns> anyone familiar with alps trackpads?
[17:35] <ThinkT510> Aldus: well, see and be able to use the ram i mean
[17:35] <junglejim> bullgard6: Hmm ... not so happy now after all the backups, downloads and hunting around to make things work. Think I might have to revert to 10.04
[17:36]  * dr_willis has unity tweaked how he likes it.
[17:36] <dr_willis> Been playign with gnome-shell also..
[17:37] <bullgard6> junglejim: Hold on.  Funny thing is it shows in lsusb command but not in nautilus
[17:37] <korsakof> dr_willis: thanks for the link! Very useful for me.

[17:38] <BlackBurn> ok... how to mount this by hand?
[17:39] <ururrur> Hä
[17:39] <Gentoo64> BlackBurn, try mount /device

[17:39] <bluj> does anyone know why /usr/local/lib would not be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH by default? i have packages that configure based on pkg-config data and detect and compile properly, but they wont run because of this
[17:40] <dr_willis> !mount | BlackBurn
[17:40] <bimeggy> any mdadm pros here who can give me a hand with a broken raid5 array?
[17:40] <bluj> err, ignore me. needed ldconfig again
[17:41] <bullgard6> junglejim: I agree. Before reverting back to 10.04 you could install the package gnome-shell and log out. Before you log in,you could select then "GNOME Classic (No effects" in the login menu. Try this and compare its performance with that of Ubuntu 10.04.
[17:42] <junglejim> bullgard6: Is gnome-shell like 10.10's gnome?
[17:42] <ururrur> no
[17:43] <bullgard6> junglejim: No. It is only similar to 10.10'sGNOME.
[17:43] <ururrur> hi mang0
[17:43] <xixion> having a problem with getting compiz to work on my toshiba portege m400
[17:43] <Socky__> I want to bring down eth0, then bring eth0 backup on a linux server that Im sshed into.  If i do ifconfig eth0 down, i will loose my connection and not be able to bring it back up.  How can i do this

[17:44] <junglejim> bullgard6: hmm thx  ..... let me take a look
[17:44] <EvilResistance> Socky__:  no guarantee though
[17:45] <Socky__> if i created a script that did ifconfig eth0 down, and then ifconfig eth0 up and exicuted it, would that work?
[17:45] <TheMac> there, problem averted
[17:46] <ThinkT510> Socky_: i was just about to suggest something like that, maybe a cronjob
[17:46] <TheMac> basically, my brother is taking a class...if he fails it, he gets kicked out of the university

[18:14] <MadsRC> So, I'm using UFW with these rules: http://pastebin.com/rZPpjtQj but looking though my UFW log I can see entries that says UFW BLOCK on some ports that should be open. The ports look like this: http://pastebin.com/qtTqRrCn
[18:15] <tanath> MadsRC, could be malformed packets
[18:16] <ThinkT510> ssk_the_gr8: i avoid installing things from outside the repos, you'd have to maintain them yourself then
[18:16] <erkan^> which software I have need --> wireless network usb micro adapter 150N ?
[18:16] <dr_willis> ssk_the_gr8:  extract the archive. read the games install docs..

[18:16] <dr_willis> ssk_the_gr8:  theres a great many games in the ubuntu repositories.
[18:16] <kantor> Because xorg.conf is not used any more in Ubuntu, because of KMS, it is possible to load the default vesa, vga driver, instead of my specific driver??
[18:17] <dr_willis> kantor:  if the xorg.conf exists. its used.  what driver are you trying to not use?
[18:17] <Odaym> when I'm using a package manager, what does it do when I say "apt-get install pidgin"?
[18:17] <Odaym> does it grab the same source files and do the compiling and installing for me?
[18:18] <Odaym> or does it just grab a .deb and run it?
[18:18] <dr_willis> Odaym:  it download the precompiled .deb and installs it
[18:18] <dr_willis> !apt | Odaym
[18:18] <tanath> erkan^, that's a generic description, not a unique identifier
[18:18] <bullgard6> sillyme: Please use iwconfig to further analyze your problem.
[18:19] <kantor> dr_willis, It is not used, I checked that (because of modeset is used) I have troubles with the Xorg intel driver, I have an intel video card.

[18:20] <kanupatar> hello
[18:20] <Spankbot> Are there any recommendations for Speech Recognition software on linux?  Something like Dragon?
[18:20] <erkan^> tanath, are you?
[18:20] <erkan^> ow
[18:20] <erkan^> )-:
[18:21] <bullgard6> Hexxeh: It is all right to put your question here in this channel.
[18:21] <Hexxeh> bullgard6: Okay, thanks
[18:21] <lapion> lapion
[18:21] <Hexxeh> Okay so basically I'd like to use the Wubi bootloader system to boot another OS, but it appears that Wubi uses a loop-mounted ISO image to boot, am I correct? I'd need to boot from a hard disk image, is this possible?
[18:22] <lapion> Hexxeh, go read on wubi..
[18:22] <theadmin> Hexxeh: Wubi does boot a raw hard disk image located in C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk
[18:22] <junglejim> bullgard6: seems I'm already running Unity 2D - Found this link which shows u how to test: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/how-to-quickly-find-out-if-ubuntu-is-running-unity-3d/
[18:22] <ThinkT510> Hexxeh: why are you using wubi? can you use a proper ubuntu install instead?
[18:22] <BPower> Holy crap. Apparently installing medibuntu removes practically every package including ubuntu-desktop. And now I can't do anything because I'm using likewise (internal domain) for signing in.
[18:22] <Hexxeh> ThinkT510: I'm trying to build a Wubi installer for Chromium OS.
[18:22] <BPower> I no longer have sudo access because my user doesn't exist
[18:23] <Hexxeh> theadmin: Ah, I presume that's MBR partitioned disk? Would a GPT image work?
[18:23] <BPower> So I can't do anything to fix it
[18:23] <kanupatar> I am using ubuntu 11.10 and my SD card is showing some isuesm, I have to do a file system check on that card? HOW? the SD card is mounted under /media/rootfs*
[18:23] <theadmin> Hexxeh: I don't think so...
[18:23] <QuaeroScentia> Is it possible to put ubuntu ( or other forms of linux ) on an iPod Classic 6 generation?
[18:23] <lapion> BPower, you shouldn't loose all files when adding medibuntu..
[18:23] <Hexxeh> theadmin: Is there somewhere with technical documentation on how Wubi works? If it doesn't support booting GPT, I'd like to add that functionality.
[18:24] <BPower> lapion, the files are there, the packages have been removed.
[18:24] <bullgard6> junglejim: So compare this performance with that of your previous Ubuntu 10.04 installation. It should not differ much in my opinion.
[18:24] <theadmin> Hexxeh: wubi-installer.org is the place for everything related to it
[18:24] <BPower> lapion, but I have no way to reinstall them because my user no longer exists (because likewise was removed)
[18:24] <lapion> you removed all other repositories and thus lost all packages
[18:25] <lapion> you can allways try to use a console..
[18:25] <BPower> lapion, I can't -- I can't use sudo!
[18:25] <lapion> ctrl-alt-f2
[18:25] <BPower> (anymore)
[18:25] <lapion> or reboot into safe mode..
[18:25] <BPower> brb
[18:25] <junglejim> bullgard6:  It's definitely slower :-( but I did find a way to install the old interface now (called ubuntu classic) http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/return-to-ubuntu-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[18:28] <bullgard6> junglejim: I tested ubuntu-classic and liked it. If your Unity 2D is definitely slower then I would conclude that there is an implementation error. I told you that I do not know much about Unity. So I cannot suggest a remedy.
[18:29] <conntrack> With all this kepler talk I wonder how a planet could be sae
[18:30] <orated> How to set a file immutable?
[18:31] <conntrack> With all this kepler talk I wonder how a planet could be made to stand out in a galaxy/solar system more or even hidden
[18:31] <fhtagn> orated: permissions to 000..?
[18:31] <conntrack> Just in case you didn't want other beings to know you were there if they exist
[18:32] <xro> Hi, i'm looking for someone familiar with diff... i have a project and i think to use it... but i would like to debate about feasability.... anybody?
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> conntrack: linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/11/make-your-files-immutable-which-even.html
[18:32] <dr_willis> xro:  diff is a rather basic tool.. whats to debate about it...
[18:33] <ThinkT510> ActionParsnip: did you mean to send that to orated
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> Yep. D'oh. Thanks for the catch
[18:33] <orated> fhtagn: I want to configure it so that no one can change it. I read there is something called securelevel also for it.
[18:33] <orated> one cannot edit*
[18:33] <ssk_the_gr8> thanx for all the help
[18:33] <xro> dr_willis, i would like use it to monitor change into websites.... i bit innovative.... can i debate with you?
[18:34] <orated> Its about /etc/hosts file
[18:34] <fhtagn> dunno. Only know how to play with permissions. messing with chown and chmod should be enough to restrict who can see it / edit it
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> orated: check the link ;-)
[18:34] <orated> ah, sure
[18:36] <orated> ActionParsnip: Is it advisable to make hosts file immutable?
[18:36] <dr_willis> xro:  wont do any good to debate with me on it..  If you are moitoring if web sites changes Im sure theres more specilized tools out.
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> xro: you can use tripwire to watch files and alarm or log changes
[18:37] <notorious> ima li nqkoi ot bg
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> orated: could try it. You can always boot to root recovery mode and switch back if it makes problems
[18:37] <conntrack> I guess a planet could beam really strong lasers into outaspace and beings might see it then find out where it lead
[18:38] <oCean> conntrack: please stop the offtopic talk

[18:39] <Oins> Hi. Kleopatra drops me the error: "IPC parameter error". I use Ubuntu 11.10. Anyone a clue how I can solve this error?
[18:39] <kanupatar> helli
[18:39] <kanupatar> hello
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> kanupatar: what filesystem are you using on it?
[18:39] <preludelinux> hello
[18:40] <kanupatar> ActionParsnip: ext3
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> kanupatar: unmount it then read:  man fsck
[18:41] <kanupatar> ActionParsnip: hey man, can u tell me the command?
[18:41] <wxl> ok here's today's weird question: is there a way to look up reverse dependencies on a package through the ubuntu package website/
[18:41] <soreau> wxl: reverse dependencies?
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> kanupatar: fscking mounted partitions can break data. You will use the raw device name like /dev/sg1  (yours may be different)
[18:42] <oCean> wxl: why through the site? There is apt-depends apt-rdepends for cli
[18:42] <wxl> soreau: packages that depend on package x rather than those packages that package x needs
[18:42] <kanupatar> ActionParsnip: any GUI tools?
[18:43] <xro> ActionParsnip, do you have some experience with tripwire?
[18:43] <wxl> oCean: not in front of the computer
[18:43] <soreau> wxl: Why would you ever want to do that?
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> kanupatar: it will also need sudo. I can't give the command as I am on my phone so don't have the man page, nor do I know the block device name. Try reading
[18:44] <wxl> soreau: i'm on lubuntu and i'm not quite sure why this morning's upgrade included nautilus and my system was acking funky afterwards. trying to be proactive.
[18:44] <Exxon> kanupatar, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1005398.html
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> Xro: i only know of it. I've not used it first hand
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> kanupatar: its a simple command dude.
[18:45] <junglejim> bullgard6: thx
[18:45] <xro> ok, i thought about using python difflib to monitor website... but i could use an already developped tool and only code a wrapper, it could be easier...
[18:45] <junglejim> bullgard6: for the help
[18:45] <kanupatar> ActionParsnip: I am a newbie dude :(
[18:45] <dr_willis> !fsck
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> kanupatar: you will need to run: sudo fdisk -l     to show the device name
[18:46] <Hexxeh> theadmin: Is it definitely a disk image and not just a partition image? I keep seeing reference to an ext2 disk image, which would suggest it's a partition rather than a full disk
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> kanupatar: everyone is at some point. You learn by doing
[18:47] <theadmin> Hexxeh: It's a disk with one partition, and it's ext3 rather than ext2 from what I'm aware. Not so sure tho, I hate wubi (and neither I use Ubuntu, really)
[18:47] <kanupatar> ActionParsnip: thanks man
[18:47] <kanupatar> ActionParsnip: let me try
[18:47] <xro> ActionParsnip, it looks like it's juste based on a hash... which is a really basic solution as it will trigger a lot of false positive (dynamic website and web2.0)...
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> kanupatar: you'll see its simple enough :-). Even with no options I think it will do enough.
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Xro: i see
[18:48] <Baktun13-desktop> shutdown -r 0 is same as "now" ?
[18:49] <Exxon> Baktun13-desktop, shutdown now -h
[18:50] <xro> ActionParsnip, i already provide a hash256 based on the webpage code... but now i would like to be more granular and allow the users to set some part as dynamic...  so, i thouk about diff and set dynamic part as junk... this way they wont be detected as changed...

[18:51] <tanath> crazytrane, o_O
[18:51] <edoceo> Hey, just found myself on a Jaunty machine, no sources available on mirror - should do some force update to Lucid?
[18:52] <tanath> crazytrane, why did that work? first it was right click, which was good. then it was alt+rightclick, which was stupid... alt+win+rightclick is just nuts
[18:52] <crazytrane> lol i agree
[18:53] <ThinkT510> edoceo: better to fresh install
[18:53] <theadmin> edoceo: You need to do a fresh install if you're upgrading from a EOL (or do some sorcery with APT, which I strongly recommend against)
[18:53] <tanath> crazytrane, who decided to make it worse? >_<
[18:53] <sichvot> Have anyone tried FreeNX as a remote desktop server?
[18:54] <Exxon> tanath, what applet are you trying to remove and readd it again..
[18:54] <crazytrane> tanath, wasn't me.  I promise
[18:54] <crazytrane> lol

[18:55] <tanath> Exxon, i removed and readded it, and it seems to be ok now
[18:55] <Exxon> :))
[18:56] <tanath> Exxon, but seriously, who's bright idea was it to make the context menu shortcut go from rightclick to alt+rightclick, and then alt+win+rightclick??
[18:56] <ix_> what is the default sound recording program in ubuntu?
[18:57] <ThinkT510> tanath: ask gnome devs, i'm glad i use xfce
[18:57] <tanath> ThinkT510, heh. tried it a few times, never cared much for it. not gnome 2-like enough for me
[18:58] <ix_> doesn't anyone here have ubuntu? lol
[18:58] <Exxon> tanath, you will get used to it..
[18:58] <tanath> Exxon, to alt+win+rightclick? no, i won't. that's just plain stupid. i will either change it, or change my OS
[18:58] <ThinkT510> ix_: many do, do they often record stuff? different question
[18:59] <tanath> Exxon, i've yet to see how to change it
[18:59] <theadmin> tanath: Or change your destkop... Try MATE. (pm for details. It's a gnome2 fork)
[18:59] <tanath> theadmin, ubuntu has mate too now?
[18:59] <theadmin> tanath: No, we don't, Mint does, which is why I suggested to PM xD
[18:59] <ix_> ThinkT510, they don't need to record, just look at the sound and video category
[18:59] <theadmin> tanath: It originated from Arch tho so that would work too
[19:00] <tanath> theadmin, ah, lol. yeah, i've been considering mint.
[19:00] <ix_> I want to know what to search for in synaptic
[19:00] <kanupatar> fdisk -l showing nothing
[19:00] <sichvot> im guessing by the silence no one here has tried FreeNX as a remote desktop server.
[19:00] <ix_> sudo fdisk -l
[19:00] <ix_> what is the default sound recording program in ubuntu?
[19:01] <ix_> I want to install it and have no idea what to search for
[19:01] <AlanBell> sichvot: I have used freenx, it is OK, quite fast
[19:01] <sichvot> AlanBell you say it's ok.. is there something better?
[19:02] <ix_> oh, got it, gnome-media, you guys are useless
[19:02] <AlanBell> sichvot: depends what you mean by better. It is fast, but only one connection at a time, if you want multiple viewers then vnc is the way forward
[19:03] <AlanBell> ix_: you could also try audacity if you want something a bit more featurful
[19:03] <ix_> ok

[19:04] <_jacob_> hello, is there a way to compile only the modified module instead of compiling the whole kernel?
[19:05] <myrmidette> but I only appended a line, I didn't change anything

[19:07] <myrmidette> what I edited was my .inputrc
[19:07] <theadmin> Hexxeh: Trough the Windows bootloader (it chainloads GRUB)
[19:07] <Hexxeh> theadmin: No magic going on in the initrd then?
[19:07] <AlanBell> myrmidette: well that is your keyboard mapping file
[19:07] <Hexxeh> theadmin: Or special options required in the kernel
[19:07] <myrmidette> it didn't exist  before, so I created it and added set "completion-ignore-case On"
[19:08] <theadmin> Hexxeh: Nah
[19:08] <myrmidette> maybe it was looking at some other file for its inputrc before and now it's just looking at my one-line file?
[19:08] <AlanBell> myrmidette: just a guess, but I think you have overridden /etc/inputrc
[19:09] <AlanBell> myrmidette: copy /etc/inputrc to ~/.inputrc and then append your setting
[19:09] <myrmidette> yeah I'll do that
[19:09] <myrmidette> stupid of me not to look in /etc
[19:09] <venik212> where do I find a ppd file for a Canon MF6530?  Ubuntu 11.10, 64 bits
[19:10] <AlanBell> myrmidette: do remember you have done it, if at some point in the future /etc/inputrc gets updated then you won't see the updates
[19:10] <myrmidette> it worked thnx :)
[19:10] <myrmidette> I just appended what I wanted to /etc/inputrc
[19:11] <AlanBell> ok, an update will possibly now prompt and ask you what you want to do if it needs to update that file
[19:15] <mikepawns> someone able to help me with my trackpad not working
[19:15] <mikepawns> it worked previously
[19:15] <AlanBell> mikepawns: tell us more about it, what type of trackpad, what version of ubuntu, when did it stop?

[19:16] <craigbass1976>  /share is owned by the user root and the group nobody.  Craig is in the group nobody.  /share has 570 permissions.  How come when craig touches test.txt an ls -l shows this: -rw-r--r-- 1 craig craig       0 2011-12-05 14:07 test.txt  ?  Shouldn't the nobody group own it?
[19:16] <Ruudjah> Is there a gui to control fan speeds for cpu?
[19:16] <mikepawns> stopped today, i installed java and it stopped
[19:17] <mikepawns> now it wont show up in xinput list
[19:17] <Ruudjah> found all kinds of cli google results, but after 4 hours still dont get them
[19:18] <Hexxeh> theadmin: Does the root need to be specified by uuid or is there some way of specifying a partition index?
[19:18] <Hexxeh> theadmin: Usually I'd specify like sdx3 but given it's a loop device loop0 I'm not sure how this works
[19:18] <theadmin> Hexxeh: errrr for the kernel you can use the uuid, the label or plain /dev/sd*, same goes to fstab
[19:19] <theadmin> Hexxeh: Oh loop0? Well I beleive you might be able to use /dev/loop0 but...
[19:19] <Hexxeh> theadmin: Just trying to boot what was USB stick image, root would usually be sdb3
[19:19] <AlanBell> mikepawns: so it stopped after installing java?
[19:20] <mikepawns> yeah, i  uninstalled the java from software center
[19:20] <mikepawns> after it stopped
[19:20] <mikepawns> but it still isn't showing
[19:20] <craigbass1976> What I'd like is a way to make any file getting written in /share (and it's subdirectories) to be owned by soandso, regardless of who writes the file.  Is that possible?
[19:21] <AlanBell> mikepawns: I would be surprised if it was anything to do with java to be honest
[19:21] <trism> craigbass1976: chmod g+s /share; maybe?
[19:22] <mikepawns> me too
[19:24] <AlanBell> mikepawns: is it working on a live cd?
[19:24] <tyler_d> how do you specify a port with snmpwalk?
[19:24] <AlanBell> just to rule out bios settings and hardware failure
[19:24] <mikepawns> havent tried that

[19:43] <sskalnik> I'm getting all sorts of "permission denied" errors when trying to build a package. I've debianized some plain source. The source folder is under /usr/src. When I run debuild or dpkg-buildpackage, I get permission denied errors. What should I change?
[19:44] <sskalnik> I'm loath to use sudo or to chown anything unnecessarily.
[19:45] <alex116> sorry I don't know but doesn't it tell you on which files it is failing?
[19:45] <sskalnik> I could use pbuilder to build the package, but I need a .dsc to feed it... and debuild -S also gives permission errors.
[19:45] <sskalnik> alex116, Are you referring to me?
[19:45] <alex116> yes
[19:46] <sskalnik> !paste

[19:47] <sskalnik> I get similar errors with other commands to build source or binary
[19:48] <cichy> hi
[19:48] <trism> sskalnik: why are you building it in /usr/src? build it somewhere in your home directory
[19:48] <EvilResistance> ^
[19:48] <Adaken> Hi.
[19:48] <sskalnik> trism, Why is that a better method?
[19:49] <cichy> from poland
[19:49] <sskalnik> trism, Not challenging it, just curious.
[19:49] <Athostle> This place is good for questions, right? Need to make sure before I ask.
[19:49] <Athostle> :>
[19:49] <sskalnik> Athostle, yes
[19:49] <Athostle> Thanks.
[19:49] <alex116> sskalnik, because you will surely have create file permissions
[19:49] <Athostle> Now, I'm going to dual boot with Ubuntu,
[19:49] <sskalnik> alex116, should I not have them in /usr/src?
[19:49] <Athostle> I'm using the WuBi installer, and I'm running Windows Vista,
[19:50] <alex116> sskalnik, I'm not sure
[19:50] <Athostle> will the Boot Manager open every time I restart my computer, so I can switch through OSs?\
[19:50] <ThinkT510> Athostle: don't bother with wubi, do a real install
[19:50] <trism> sskalnik: /usr/src should in general be used for when system services need to build packages, like dkms. otherwise as alex116 suggests, you would need to mess with the permissions of /usr/src to allow your user to build there
[19:50] <Athostle> Too late, I'm at a minute, and I'm horrible with computers, so this seems the safer option.
[19:50] <sskalnik> trism, thanks, that makes sense
[19:50] <f0x> how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support
[19:50] <Athostle> Thanks, though.
[19:51] <crupulus> Hey all!, how can
[19:51] <Athostle> Welp,
[19:51] <Athostle> if my computer crashes, I might be on later.
[19:51] <Athostle> Heres hopinh.
[19:51] <Athostle> hoping*
[19:52] <crupulus> Hey all!, is "lspci -vv" supposed to give details on my wireless card ? If so, where exactly ? because there are like 1000 lines of stuff i don't know anything about. Ty!
[19:52] <f0x> how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support
[19:52] <AlanBell> crupulus: is it a pci card?
[19:52] <ThinkT510> Athostle: partitioning is probably the hardest part (and it is dead easy when you know how); you could mess around with a real ubuntu install inside a vm (to get the hang of partitioning)
[19:52] <Athostle> I have Ubuntu in VMWare,
[19:52] <crupulus> What do you mean ?
[19:52] <Athostle> I'll try messing around with it later,
[19:52] <f0x> how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support
[19:53] <AlanBell> crupulus: first do just lspci, and lsusb and find out where it is before looking at verbose information
[19:53] <Athostle> but right now I can't risk the slightest mistake, it could cost me an Xbox for Christmas. My parents are fed up with me altering my possessions.
[19:53] <slugzzz> Athostle, the live disk makes it VERY easy to install ubuntu side by side with windows.
[19:53] <Athostle> But I read that it has slower speeds,
[19:53] <f0x> how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support
[19:53] <Athostle> and someone told me dual-booting would just be nicer.
[19:54] <slugzzz> Right.. that is what I am saying...
[19:54] <AlanBell> crupulus: lspci gives information about all the cards plugged in to your pci bus, lsusb gives information about all the things plugged in to USB, your wireless device could be either
[19:54] <Athostle> I mean,
[19:54] <Athostle> dual-booting when it's on the computer, not a USB/CD
[19:54] <crupulus> AlanBell, is it "network controller" ? It says broadcom blabla, that means I have a broadcom wifi card, exact?
[19:54] <slugzzz> Okay, make yourself a live disk, and boot from the live disk and install from the live disk.
[19:54] <slugzzz> It's really hard to mess up.
[19:54] <crupulus> Broadcom Corporation Device 4727
[19:54] <Athostle> Okay, thanks.
[19:54] <AlanBell> crupulus: yeah, that sounds about right
[19:54] <Athostle> Hmmm, wait.
[19:55] <ThinkT510> Athostle: dual booting is better but not through wubi
[19:55] <Athostle> WuBi will work though, right?
[19:55] <sskalnik> trism, alex116 Woot, got debuild -S to work in ~
[19:55] <Athostle> Because my installer is already at "Expanding."
[19:55] <ThinkT510> Athostle: wubi is meant to be more of a taster than a solution to a problem
[19:55] <trism> sskalnik: excellent, glad it is working now
[19:56] <Athostle> Taster is fine, I'm not going to be using Ubuntu all that much.
[19:56] <Athostle> I'll be using it enough to not want that USB trial, though.
[19:56] <slugzzz> Either way, Athostle, installing with WuBi and partitioning are both very easy.
[19:57] <Athostle> Thanks, I just needed to know, though,
[19:57] <f0x> how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support
[19:57] <Athostle> every time I restart my computer (I have to do this properly, can't use my power button, right?) the boot manager will open, is that correct?
[19:57] <kz3> what are going to be the best features in ubuntu 12.04?
[19:57] <Raliegh> Anyone care to help me run an Icecast stress test by tuning into my radio? Sorry, not really debian/ubuntu related but it's got the most users of any channels on freenode. :)
[19:58] <slugzzz> Athostle, yes.
[19:58] <ThinkT510> kz3: /join #ubuntu+1
[19:58] <AlanBell> kz3: it will be much like 11.10, but more polished and stable
[19:58] <Athostle> Thanks. WuBi is finished, so I have to go for a bit. Cya.
[19:58] <slugzzz> Cheers.
[19:58] <AlanBell> f0x: hold down shift from power up to get to the grub menu and from there you can select a recovery option
[19:58] <inashdeen> hi , i cant run java on chromium for ubuntu. is there a way to fix that?
[19:59] <kz3> AlanBell: I am very unhappy with 11.10, its not that stable and I have also stopped using unity. I use GNOME 3.2
[19:59] <Thell> Hi all!  I have a VM with Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope on it ( I hardly ever boot it ) and was going to upgrade it to the latest, update manager shows 10.04.3 LTS as the 'new distribution release', but when [upgrade] is clicked a msg stating the tool doesn't support the upgrade is displayed...
[19:59] <Thell> What's my upgrade path here?
[19:59] <inashdeen> AlanBell : ;) i am releasing my own version of ubuntu based linux.
[19:59] <AlanBell> kz3: maybe give precise a spin and file bugs (and talk in #ubuntu+1 about it)
[19:59] <f0x> alabala, i did select recovery
[20:00] <f0x> but it only has read only and root shell without networkinng
[20:00] <imark> does anyone know how to remove a theme from the gnome-tweak-tool
[20:00] <ThinkT510> Thell:: better to fresh install, 9.04 and 9.10 are both eol
[20:00] <f0x> and without asking for passwd
[20:00] <AlanBell> Thell: do you need to upgrade or will a fresh install work fine?
[20:00] <Thell> AlanBell, need to upgrade unfortunately
[20:01] <savid> I think something's wrong with my disk i/o.  Small files (eg, simple text files) seem to take longer than they should to save and load.   It's a fairly new computer -- how can I find out what's wrong?
[20:01] <ThinkT510> !eol | Thell
[20:01] <AlanBell> Thell: there is an installation option that will do a new install preserving /home, would that work for you?
[20:01] <Thell> ThinkT510: only if I absolutely must, setting up the workflow on that was a chore and a half
[20:01] <Thell> AlanBell: preserves only /home ?
[20:02] <ThinkT510> Thell: i expect upgrading might be a chore and a half too
[20:02] <Thell> :P
[20:02] <inashdeen> bump
[20:03] <crupulus> AlanBell, what is the diff between Network Controller and Ethernet controller ? The ethernet one says Realtek Semiconductor, the network says Broadcom. Which one tells me details on my wifi ward please ?
[20:04] <inashdeen> How do i edit the ubiquity?
[20:04] <ThinkT510> inashdeen: the ubuntu installer? why do you want to edit it?
[20:06] <AlanBell> crupulus: I would suggest pasting the lines into google, but the network controller is likely to be your wireless card ethernet controller will be the wired one
[20:06] <AlanBell> inashdeen: rather than releasing your own version why not work on improving Ubuntu?
[20:07] <inashdeen> ThinkT510 : i am building my own RGOS ( remastered group of OS) i want to remove the update and install codec option
[20:08] <AlanBell> inashdeen: "bzr branch lp:ubiquity" to grab the code and mess about with it
[20:08] <ThinkT510> inashdeen: i think ubiquity is written in python
[20:08] <AlanBell> inashdeen: you will need to be somewhat familiar with python and glade
[20:08] <inashdeen> AlanBell : i am active in my own loco. i am from loco team malaysia. I  work in translation too. now, why would i want to build my own distro. it is kinda complex story. Ubuntu is perfect, but not full enough. i am working on a project to prmote linux to new user. the prob is, most of them got stuck, they just dont know what to play with,
[20:09] <Thell> ThinkT510 & AlanBell: I found a post with a report of success on doing CD upgrade to 9.10, then dist-upgrade to 10.04 LTS.  I think I'll give that a shot.
[20:09] <inashdeen> AlanBell : is there no way to mess with it right from an installed Ubiquity? i just want to remove the update button
[20:09] <AlanBell> inashdeen: there is a project about loco remastering
[20:09] <ThinkT510> inashdeen: sorry, but it sounds as if you've got a solution to a problem that doesn't exist
[20:10] <AlanBell> inashdeen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/LocalizedImagesRollout
[20:10] <inashdeen> Alanbell : my loco dont build remaster
[20:10] <AlanBell> inashdeen: they do if you do!
[20:10] <ThinkT510> Thell: up to you, don't mean to be negative but i don't expect it to go well
[20:10] <inashdeen> ThinkT510 : not sure what that suppose to mean, however i do need to fix open jdk on chrome. thanx in advance
[20:11] <inashdeen> AlanBell : my case is a bit different. i am malaysian, but studying in egypt. What i am doing is part of my winter campaign. i promote linux among malaysian students in egypt
[20:12] <AlanBell> great, anyhow the tools for doing that remastering will probably be useful
[20:13] <Costa> boa noite

[20:17] <AlanBell> inashdeen: go to about:plugins in chromium, you should have java and icedtea
[20:17] <AlanBell> opensanjib: works for me
[20:17] <Yahosain> Hi something very strange happend to me.I had left the linuxmint 11 cd in the cd drive and it booted ubuntu with account named mint !!!!!!!!
[20:18] <Yahosain> actually the dvd
[20:18] <sskalnik> Yahosain, remove the DVD and reboot
[20:18] <Yahosain> I know that
[20:18] <Yahosain> I just wanted to know how did that happend
[20:18] <Yahosain> :)
[20:18] <mang0_> Yahosain: If your boot order has DVD first.....then it'll boot from the DVD
 please paste the key here i need it or send me the key file
[20:19] <CaBeTuX> exit
[20:19] <sskalnik> Yahosain, your system was set to boot from DVD first
[20:19] <mang0_> Yahosain: You can change the boot order in BIOS
[20:19] <inashdeen> alanBell : i cant find that
[20:19] <sskalnik> Running into some pbuilder issues: http://paste.ubuntu.com/760840/
[20:20] <ThinkT510> inashdeen: type about:plugins in the address bar
[20:20] <tyler_d> opensanjib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/760849/
[20:21] <Yahosain> I suppose you guys didnt understand what I said.It showed the linux mint boot screen but booted Ubuntu (11.10 which I have installed on my pc) and didnt have my login information.its account username was mint.and also had a guest account
 thanks
[20:21] <tyler_d> opensanjib: np
[20:21] <tyler_d> Yahosain: I'm not sure I see the point though?
[20:21] <inashdeen> ThinkT510: i found icedtea: is it enabled, but my java is still not working, i restarted but it didnt make any differences
[20:22] <AlanBell> inashdeen: how are you testing your java?
[20:22] <ThinkT510> inashdeen: sorry, i don't use java
[20:23] <sskalnik> Yahosain, if you leave the DVD in the drive and reboot, your computer will load the live DVD, which has those accounts.
[20:23] <Hduwusj> Help me please!!!! http://bit.ly/uPBolO
[20:23] <Yahosain> The point is that it was very strange for me that linux mint booted ubuntu with mint account.I think it shall boot either mint (from dvd) or ubuntu (from HDD)
[20:23] <Hduwusj> Help http://bit.ly/uPBolO
[20:23] <tables> does the ubuntu livecd come with gparted?
[20:23] <AlanBell> Hduwusj: I am not clicking a bit.ly link wiht no information about why I should do that. Ask your question
[20:23] <xangua> yes tables
[20:23] <ThinkT510> Yahosain: no, it booted mint which is based off of ubuntu
[20:23] <jesper> Hduwusj explain your problem instead of just saying "help" and a link
[20:24] <inashdeen> alanBell : I used Sun java testing site as well as testing randomly here : http://www.kampungchat.net/
[20:24] <sskalnik> Yahosain, what you are suggesting is in fact what is already the case. ;)
[20:25] <pertutatis> hi, anyone know a good tutorial for using my TV as screen?
[20:25] <Yahosain> !!??
[20:26] <sskalnik> Yahosain, your machine wasn't booting into Ubuntu with an account from the DVD . It was booting into the DVD. Mint is based on Ubuntu, so it may have looked like it was your Ubuntu install, but it was not.
[20:26] <AlanBell> inashdeen: works for me in chromium, not quite sure where it is going wrong for you
[20:27] <inashdeen> AlanBell : ok, so how do i do a staep by step diagnosis?
[20:28] <VIPER-II> Classic one.    Trying to get a newer driver i ended up messing my current display driver. Now i can only access my Ubuntu through SSH cli.
[20:29] <VIPER-II> after laughing me out, can you tell me how to get the ATI driver back on track?
[20:30] <VIPER-II> Classic one.    Trying to get a newer driver i ended up messing my current display driver. Now i can only access my Ubuntu through SSH cli.
[20:30] <VIPER-II> how do i fix it?
[20:30] <Yahosain> Oh c'mon,Ubuntu 11.10 and linux mint 11 are very different.What I actually saw was the linux mint boot screen saying "automatic boot in 10 9 ..." and then LightDM boot manager trying to login into an account named mint,which I didnt have the password.so I chose guest account.and it was ubuntu 11.10.and ofcourse it was my HDD because there is no other way it could come from
[20:31] <jesper> inashdeen: when you type "java -version" in a terminal window, does it show you have Java installed (and what version)?
[20:31] <trism> sskalnik: I haven't tried it, but this seems like a decent guide to building a dkms package, which may help you out: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/Kernel/BuildDebianDKMSPackages
[20:31] <inashdeen> jesper : unrecognized option, could not create virtual machine
[20:32] <callum>  im new to ubuntu. i have it on my netbook. how do i download itunes?
[20:32] <AlanBell> Yahosain: sounds like the Mint DVD decided you would be better off using Ubuntu
[20:32] <ThinkT510> !itunes | callum
[20:32] <jesper> inashdeen sounds like something is wrong with your Java installation
[20:32] <Yahosain> I suppose its a linux mint bug which mounted for example my sda10  filesystem instead of its own filesystem
[20:32] <callum> thank you.
[20:33] <sskalnik> trism, Thanks, but that doesn't use pbuilder
[20:33] <inashdeen> jesper :how do i do clean uninstall and reinstall then?
[20:33] <jesper> inashdeen you could try re-installing packages openjdk-6-jre and/or icedtea-plugin
[20:33] <Guest48519> Ubuntu 11.10 has a fast boot up for me on my acer aspire dual core laptop.  Performance is better after upgrading to 3.0.0-13-generic kernel.
[20:33] <mikepawns> AlanBell didn't work
[20:34] <inashdeen> jesper :that gimme openjdk-6-jre is already the newest version. openjdk-6-jre set to manually installed.
[20:34] <urthmover> byobu where have you been all my life
[20:34] <trism> sskalnik: well, once you have the package, you can use debuild -S and then use pbuilder. my guess looking at the output was that you didn't create the package correctly, most of that guide is about creating a kernel module package using dkms
[20:35] <Guest48519> For those wanting a performance boost--uninstall Libre Office.
[20:35] <sskalnik> trism, Yeah, I have done debuild -S and then tried pbuilder
[20:36] <jesper> inashdeen you could try removing it (sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre) and then installing it again (sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre)
[20:36] <written> anyone familar with gitweb package on ubuntu server 11.10?
[20:36] <AlanBell> mikepawns: that was the trackpad not working on a livecd?
[20:36] <sskalnik> Also, I need a piece of hardware and accompanying software that track my eyes and automatically shifts my keyboard control to the appropriate window
[20:37] <AlanBell> mikepawns: sounds like hardware failure then :(
[20:37] <written> browsing gitweb i always get: 404 - No projects found
[20:37] <written> but there are projects and project_root is configured in /etc/gitweb.conf
[20:37] <inashdeen> jesper : by the way this is my update-alternative error : http://pastebin.com/dCN4PKtE
[20:37] <AlanBell> sskalnik: there is some eye tracking software here http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/opengazer/ not sure it is in the repos
[20:38] <sskalnik> AlanBell, That was a joke, but I will check that link anyway
[20:39] <jesper> inashdeen hmmm... looks like you might have manually changed stuff in your Java install? did you move it to another directory manually?
[20:39] <inashdeen> jesper : i didnt. i used the iced-tea command
[20:39] <AlanBell> sskalnik: oh! I do stuff with accessibility so I missed the joke :)
[20:40] <jesper> inashdeen the error messages mean that the update-alternatives cmd can't find Java at the expected location /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
[20:40] <TheMac> Can Gnome's Console be resized to use the same font as xterm's standard one?
[20:40] <TheMac> ie, black, fixed font size, etc
[20:41] <written> so, anyone can help me with the gitweb configuration?
[20:41] <jesper> inashdeen can you check if that dir exists on your system?
[20:41] <VIPER-II> anyone here has any experience whatsoever with any Download Manager in Ubuntu? Who wants to talk to me?
[20:42] <written> noone using gitweb?
[20:42] <sskalnik> AlanBell, That sounds like really cool work
[20:43] <callum> how do i connect to my server and does it matter if its a windows server?
[20:43] <html> written, http://gofedora.com/how-to-install-configure-gitweb/
[20:43] <AlanBell> callum: remmina is a good tool to connect to a remote windows desktop using RDP protocol
[20:44] <callum> i dont know what that means. im new to ubuntu
[20:45] <html> written, ?
[20:46] <AlanBell> callum: it isn't an ubuntu thing, RDP is a windows thing
[20:46] <AlanBell> callum: there is an application called remmina in the ubuntu software centre that is an RDP client
[20:46] <tyler_d> callum: what do you mean "connect your server?" and yes, depending on what you want to do it will matter.
[20:47] <callum> tyler_d: my music and files are stored on the server and i need to access it to put it on banshee
[20:47] <tyler_d> callum: you will want to read up on fstab, and smb
[20:48] <callum> fstab?
[20:48] <tyler_d> callum: you are interested in "mounting" your windows server. you will want to start off by ensuring the machines are networked properly and that that directory is shared
[20:48] <tyler_d> !fstab
[20:49] <AlanBell> callum: oh, you just want to connect a drive to a share?
[20:50] <callum> AlanBell: sure? i guess
[20:50] <AlanBell> callum: ok, so in nautilus the file browser in the file menu there is a connect to server option
[20:51] <AlanBell> in that you can choose windows share and fill in all the details and you will be able to browse files on the server
[20:51] <Hexxeh> theadmin: you sure root.disk is a disk image? when booted to ubuntu, / is mounted to /dev/loop0, can't see any way of booting from a specific partition on the disk
[20:51] <callum> ok cool. thanks
[20:51] <caaakeeey> best version for client development?
[20:51] <theadmin> Hexxeh: I am not, as stated before, I haven't used WUBI or Ubuntu for ages. That's how it used to be at least...
[20:52] <tyler_d> Hexxeh: modify the boot loader... disk is controlled in there via root(0,0) so partition 2 would therefor be root(0,1)
[20:53] <avinashhm> Hi friends, i am trying to install 'beyondcompare' ... i see below error - "Err http://www.scootersoftware.com/ stable/non-free bcompare i386 3.2.4-13298" "404  Not Found" ... .more logs @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/760878/ .. can some one pls help me with this ?
[20:53] <Hexxeh> tyler_d, theadmin: during boto it kernel panics because it cant' mount the root, and when listing disks all it lists is partitions on the physical disk
[20:54] <ztag100> hey... need some help with the menu bars not showing up in
[20:54] <fabioqc> q: im installing ubuntu 10.10 with the minimal cd using CLI. will "$sudo apt-get install ubuntu-core" provide me with a desktop environment? TIA.
[20:54] <ztag100> Ubuntu
[20:55] <theadmin> ztag100: Do you mean the bars that normally contain "File", "Edit", "View" and such?
[20:55] <ztag100> but they will show up just fine with 2d
[20:55] <ztag100> Yes, that and the launch bar
[20:55] <theadmin> ztag100: Oh, sounds like a problem with the GPU driver
[20:55] <ztag100> so.. I'm stuck in 2D for now
[20:56] <theadmin> ztag100: Try installing the propertiary drivers for your card, if any
[20:56] <ztag100> don't exist
[20:57] <tyler_d> Hexxeh: wow. might have to reference it by the hd... or alternately try using a live cd to figure out which partition you should be pointed at
[20:57] <ztag100> any other option
[20:57] <theadmin> ztag100: None tbh.
[20:58] <ztag100> It used to work
[20:58] <ztag100> it just stoped yesterday
[20:58] <ztag100> I installed ubuntu the other day
[20:59] <fabioqc> q: im installing ubuntu 10.10 with the minimal cd using CLI. will "$sudo apt-get install ubuntu-core" provide me with a desktop environment? TIA....

[21:00] <ztag100> wait
[21:00] <ztag100> not that one
[21:00] <ztag100> It was another guide
[21:00] <avinashhm> for solving the above apt-get install error, should i add the the url to some apt file ? so that it can pick up from there ? not sure ..

[21:13] <doc|work> klj613: but you REALLY should read the man page on chmod so you know what 777 is for.
[21:13] <grkblood> is the loss packet % accumulated or is it reference to only the previous hop?
[21:13] <doc|work> klj613: or some web explanation
[21:14] <doc|work> klj613: this stuff is very important
[21:14] <AlanBell> doc|work: don't use octal
[21:14] <guntbert> klj613: NOT 777!!
[21:14] <doc|work> why not?
[21:14] <klj613> doc|work: i understand it a bit, cant remember exactly atm. Owner, Group, and User? 7 = all permissions each
[21:14] <klj613> Owner, Group, Everything? lol not sure
[21:14] <AlanBell> doc|work: because he asked for read, and you gave read/write to world
[21:14] <callum> well the server is windows and my  computer is ubuntu.
[21:14] <doc|work> AlanBell: ah, sorry, I didn't see the read
[21:15] <guntbert> doc|work: don't recommend 777 on a probably exposed directory
[21:15] <AlanBell> klj613: ok, forget the 777 stuff, the permissions are wrx (read/write execute) for each of user, group and other
[21:15] <doc|work> guntbert: that's why I said he should read the man page
[21:15] <AlanBell> klj613: so if you want to allow other (people who are not the owner or in the group owner) read access then you want to to chmod o+r filename
[21:15] <guntbert> doc|work: we are supposed to be really helpful and not give possibly dangerous advice
[21:16] <AlanBell> "chmod o+r" adds read access to others. chmod go+r would add read access to group and others.
[21:16] <doc|work> guntbert: what's  unhelpful about telling a person this stuff is very important and they should read the man page to understand what they're doing?
[21:16] <klj613> i want to ensure the group www-data has read permissions, i created the folder via ssh on 'sudo' so at the moment i think the owner is root with no group?
[21:17] <AlanBell> klj613: you might see people talking about numbers like 777 or 644 or whatever. That is a shorthand for the rwx in binary (111 is 7)
[21:17] <guntbert> doc|work: don't tell them to use dangerous commands in the first place - please :)
[21:17] <doc|work> guntbert: it came with a disclaimer.
[21:17] <AlanBell> klj613: you can do ls -l to see the current permissions and owner
[21:18] <avinashhm> Hi
[21:18] <klj613> i understand the numbers, kind of
[21:18] <KettleCooked> Updated my Ubuntu, now I have a "start menu" to the left, but how can I move it down to the bottom of the screen?
[21:18] <avinashhm> Hi friends, i am trying to install 'beyondcompare' ... i see below error - "Err http://www.scootersoftware.com/ stable/non-free bcompare i386 3.2.4-13298" "404  Not Found" ... .more logs @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/760878/ .. can some one pls help me with this ?
[21:19] <klj613> http://pastie.org/2971634 the "ln -l" result
[21:19] <guntbert> doc|work: disclaimers are supposed to protect the one who uses them, not the one who applies the advice given
[21:19] <AlanBell> klj613: permissions like -rw-r--r-- are good (that happens to be 644 in octal, but really octal permissions make people automatically do the wrong thing without understanding it)
[21:19] <doc|work> guntbert: that's not what it was, and that's obvious.
[21:20] <klj613> i want to give php and nginx permissions to the folder and its files. and the user who runs php/nginx is www-data
[21:20] <guntbert> doc|work: may I PM you? (it is getting rather off topic here)
[21:20] <doc|work> guntbert: sure
[21:21] <KettleCooked> This here "Dash Home", new in Ubuntu 11. Can I move it down to bottom?
[21:21] <xangua> there is an alternative launcher plugin that shows in the bottom KettleCooked, but is not officialy supported http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-customise-unity-like-never-before/
[21:21] <AlanBell> klj613: you might want to change the owner of the file using chown klj613:www-data filename, that would make you the owner and www-data the group owner (the middle g set of rwx permissions)
[21:21] <KettleCooked> xangua: thanks. I'm using Ubuntu on my 2nd monitor to the right and have the menu on the left is really problematic that way
[21:22] <klj613> AlanBell: thanks, exactly what i needed :)
[21:22] <xangua> KettleCooked: ooh you mean to MOVE the launcher between monitors¿ i don't think you can do that....for now
[21:25] <jesper> KettleCooked yes you can put the dash at the bottom see for example http://123linuxtutorials.com/ubuntu-tutorials/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-the-bottom-of-the-screen-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[21:26] <KettleCooked> xangua: no kinda what jespers link hinted at, I'm half into the first link you posted though
[21:26] <KettleCooked> just in this one monitor, it's in a virtual machine
[21:29] <bowikaxu_> Hi there
[21:29] <bowikaxu_> any of you has knowledge of ubuntu clobber?
[21:29] <Jonii> how does ubuntu compare to the other distros in reliability?
[21:29] <guntbert> !ot | Jonii
[21:30] <trollax0r> how does a ford pinto compare to a chevy nova?
[21:30] <Jonii> i dont know what either of those is
[21:30] <trollax0r> i rest my case
[21:30] <KettleCooked> If I'm missing /dev/dsp, what can I do to find it? Want to record audio from /dev/dsp with ffmpeg, but perhaps running Ubuntu in Virtual Machine is problematic for this? I have audio in the system, can play youtube videos etc..
[21:30] <bowikaxu_> i recently installed a server with clobber but i am not able to attach any instance
[21:31] <trollax0r> my laptop fan won't stop
[21:31] <trollax0r> i'm using an asus
[21:31] <bowikaxu_> any good tutorial, doc, forum about clobber?
[21:34] <Jonii> okay, so, the question related to ubuntu is, is there a way to stop ubuntu 11.10 from crashing all the time, and as a bonus question, does anyone know if it's crashing so much because linux itself is unreliable, or because of stuff thats ubuntu-specific?
[21:34] <trollax0r> Jonii:  yeah it's linux
[21:34] <Jonii> typing text to irssi causes unity to crash and burn
[21:34] <trollax0r> I recommend installing mirc under wine
[21:35] <guntbert> trollax0r: stop
[21:35] <sskalnik> trollax0r, not cool
[21:35] <trollax0r> ?? just giving advise
[21:35] <callum> when im in the terminal. i need to put sudo in front of my commands. it ask for my password, but when it does i cant type anything. why is that?
[21:35] <trollax0r> that's how i roll
[21:35] <trollax0r> on irc
[21:35] <trollax0r> on this mircd
[21:36] <sskalnik> callum, you won'r see that password, but it is accepting the characters you type
[21:36] <callum> oh ok thanks.
[21:36] <sskalnik> callum, It's a security measure so that someone can't look over your shoulder and see how long the password is
[21:36] <alessioalex> ronaldo
[21:36] <sskalnik> callum, np
[21:37] <Jonii> first it usually just freezes the keyboard until i press some control sequence like alt-tab, but after 2-4 of those, i cant no longer change the focus of window system
[21:37] <sskalnik> Jonii, what happens up to that point?
[21:37] <sskalnik> Jonii, when is it freezing?
[21:37] <Myrtti> trollax0r: please be helpful when helping, if you don't have anything sensible to say, be quiet or leave.
[21:38] <KettleCooked> Is there any way to reboot your computer but keep the current 'uptime'? I've gone so long, don't want to reset it..
[21:38] <Jonii> ctrl-alt-f1 + ctrl-alt-f7 usually helps once or twice, but after that, theres nothing and i have to restart
[21:38] <sskalnik> KettleCooked, why are you rebooting?
[21:38] <pp7> LOL
[21:38] <pangolin> KettleCooked: no
[21:38] <trollax0r> Myrtti:  how is telling him to try another client not helpful. His question was about his irc session being unreliable.
[21:38] <pp7> KettleCooked: keeping uptime just for showing off? :P
[21:38] <KettleCooked> sskalnik: I have to install a PCI audio card
[21:38] <sskalnik> trollax0r, the advice you gave was very bad
[21:38] <callum> and one more thing. i have some music on my external memoery card. i import it into banshee and when i click on a song it wont play. the music plays perfectly fine in audacious. why is this happening?
[21:39] <sskalnik> KettleCooked, In that case, there's probably no good method for messing with the uptime
[21:39] <Jonii> sskalnik: im just typing stuff, then suddenly all the control goes away
[21:39] <KettleCooked> :) I'm just pulling your legs guys.. my treat. But I have a small server in a corner at home here which has been up for 69 days and I have to shut it down, and the thought crossed my mind
[21:39] <sskalnik> KettleCooked, :P
[21:39] <usacomputertec> does anyone know the minimum system req for Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit ?
[21:39] <KettleCooked> the mere thought felt stupid, but good stupid, perfect for irc chat
[21:40] <sskalnik> KettleCooked, If it's a server and needs reboot for kernel updates, you could check out ksplice
[21:40] <pp7> KettleCooked: lol
[21:40] <usacomputertec> 32 bit needs 384
[21:40] <KettleCooked> 22:34:43 up 69 days,  5:39,  1 user,  load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01
[21:40] <trollax0r> sskalnik:  mirc is very stable and msl is a more versatile scripting platform
[21:40] <pp7> KettleCooked: why do u have to shut it down?
[21:40] <sskalnik> KettleCooked, I understand; I get ticked when my uptime gets reset
[21:40] <pp7> sskalnik: me too, makes me feel like my system is not stable :P
[21:40] <KettleCooked> pp7: I'm putting a new audio card into it, gonna play with ffmpeg and have it record/process guitar soudn on demand via web browser
[21:41] <Myrtti> trollax0r: there are linux native clients to suggest, no need to suggest something that requires and extra layer just to get stuff working.
[21:41] <usacomputertec> does anyone even know?
[21:41] <Myrtti> trollax0r: moving on.
[21:41] <Jonii> alt-tab might help, but occasionally it fails to give that window switcher. at that point, i usually find that theres no way to minimize the window or to bring another window to top
[21:41] <sskalnik> trollax0r, please troll elsewhere. See what Myrtti said.
[21:41] <callum> and one more thing. i have some music on my external memoery card. i import it into banshee and when i click on a song it wont play. the music plays perfectly fine in audacious. why is this happening?
[21:41] <trollax0r> Myrtti:  But, how is that not sound advice? When installing wlan drivers, you end up emulating ndis and using windows drivers
[21:41] <trollax0r> how is this any different?
[21:42] <trollax0r> just a different part of the osi stack
[21:42] <Myrtti> trollax0r: because there's no need to suggest mirc as the first option when there is other linux native applications available. with wlan cards that have nothing else than ndis available, there is no choice.
[21:42] <Myrtti> trollax0r: now, seriously, moving on.
[21:42] <Jonii> but then usually switching to another virtual terminal helps to resolve the problems window system is having
[21:43] <sskalnik> Jonii, so the loss of control is seemingly random?
[21:43] <Jonii> unless it doesnt, and at that point nothing i know helps
[21:43] <Jonii> sskalnik: always when im typing, i think
[21:44] <sskalnik> Jonii, tried other keyboards or keymaps? Might sound crazy, but I have to wonder if something is being pressed that triggers the issue
[21:44] <Jonii> i am unsure if these different ways of freezing are related
[21:44] <Jonii> sskalnik: this is a netbook
[21:45] <badboy_> algun español para ayudarme
[21:45] <sskalnik> Jonii, does the mouse freeze too?
[21:45] <guntbert> !es | badboy_

[21:45] <SireRickOfJames> Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu on an older HP Notebook and the touchpad sometimes is unresponsive – I can not move the cursor. Is this a known issue – is there a fix/workaraound available? Thx in advance
[21:45] <Jonii> i use us international dvorak
[21:46] <Jonii> sskalnik: nope, it just doesnt interact anymore
[21:46] <sskalnik> <3 pangolin
[21:46] <sskalnik> Jonii, so mouse freezes too?
[21:48] <KettleCooked> dvorak sounds so evil
[21:48] <Jonii> sskalnik: it moves, but i think clicking doesnt work then... though i gotta admit, i cant remember for sure how much i've tried to play with mouse during those minifreezes
[21:49] <gizmou> hi
[21:49] <guntbert> Jonii: did you try to ping the box in that state? ssh into it?
[21:50] <Jonii> with that ultimate crash, mouse has this far worked perfectly, its just that windows can no longer be moved, resized or anything, graphical weirdness appears and the interface starts looking seriously broken
[21:51] <Jonii> but input system works still just fine, I can even chat here
[21:52] <sskalnik> Jonii, sorry I can't think of what exactly would cause those issues.
[21:52] <econdudeawesome> Howdy all. Besides MOCP (which seems to fail with each Ubuntu update), what is a good CLI music player?
[21:52] <Jonii> menus tend to disappear right away after hovering mouse over them though
[21:52] <kenneth__> i try to see video in youtube but the video go fast and i can not hear the song
[21:52] <sskalnik> Jonii, though from what you're saying, it sounds like a potential issue with the desktop
[21:53] <Jonii> like, those that open after pressing right mouse button
[21:53] <guntbert> Jonii: so look at htop - does it show anything weird?
[21:53] <sskalnik> Jonii, are you using Unity or something else?
[21:54] <sskalnik> Jonii, and do these issues crop up in  multiple desktop environments?
[21:54] <Jonii> unity yes, 11.10 pretty much right out of box
[21:54] <sskalnik> Jonii, new setup? Checked installer and HDD for defects?
[21:54] <Jonii> guntbert: install htop?
[21:55] <kenneth__> the sound on ubuntu 11.10 does not work
[21:55] <guntbert> Jonii: it won't help, it is just a means for diagnosis, like top but easier to handle
[21:56] <Jonii> didnt check the installer
[21:57] <Jonii> hdd worked well when I used windows
[22:00] <kenneth__> can some one help me....i was listening to music on youtube and then the sound stop and the video was going so fast i do not  know what to do..

[22:15] <macbuntu_> got disconnect
[22:15] <macbuntu_> anyone have any experience with touchpads not working
[22:15] <urlin2u> Connor1, you may want to be specific as to what you actually have for example any desktop info and what is the version your running the release, your question needs this info to be answered reallyt.
[22:15] <Jordan_U> Connor1: Normally you log out of whatever DE you're running. If you want to forcefully kill X you can use alt+sysrk+K.

[23:05] <Athostle> Hi.
[23:05] <Athostle> I'm having some WiFi issues,
[23:05] <Athostle> I have a Belkin router (tell me if you need the brand #),
[23:05] <trism> ulrichard_: you need the three files in the Download Source Package section, or if you install ubuntu-dev-tools you can use: pull-debian-source skeinforge
[23:05] <Athostle> and Ubuntu seems to be constantly connecting and disconnecting to my network
[23:06] <Athostle> It might have to do with the fact I had to mess with my WiFi settings because my wireless card was blacklisted.
[23:06] <Nach0z> Athostle: try /etc/init.d/nm-manager restart. may or may not fix the issue...
[23:07] <Athostle> Thanks.
[23:08] <Nach0z> yeah. see if it actually fixes that though. That was my solution for my college's crappy internet, dunno if it'll work for you long-run though.

[23:10] <f0x> arpd and the fs is mounted read only
[23:11] <ulrichard_> trism: I downloaded the tree files, unpacked the one containing the debian folder and added a new entry to debian/changelog to add oneiric as target.
[23:14] <trism> ulrichard_: did you unpack the source with: dpkg-source -x skeinforge*.dsc; ?
[23:15] <jschall> How do I display the upcoming slide on my laptop's display in libreoffice impress?
[23:15] <AlanBell> jschall: you need the presenter console
[23:16] <AlanBell> libreoffice-presenter-console is the package name
[23:17] <jschall> AlanBell: yeah i clicked extensions and then clicked get extensions on the web and then searched for presenter and it's not available there but i'll try that package
[23:17] <AlanBell> jschall: yeah, the one in the repos works great, it has countdown clock, shows you notes, and thumbnails of current and next slides
[23:18] <gerard007> hi allemaal
[23:18] <AlanBell> might just be a clock rather than a countdown, can't remember exactly
[23:19] <jschall> AlanBell: wow it's really awesome
[23:19] <jschall> AlanBell: how do i edit the notes for slides?
[23:20] <Si2100> Hey
[23:20] <AlanBell> jschall: just the notes tab above the slide in the main view
[23:20] <jschall> AlanBell: i see
[23:21] <lauratika> hi, cant change owner ship "Input/Oput error". im using sudo chown -R user:user /home/myusername. what can be wrong?
[23:22] <AlanBell> lauratika: something wrong with the disk? read only perhaps?
[23:23] <AlanBell> lauratika: does it work without the -R? (i.e. just doing the top level directory) if it does then it might be recursing into a gvfs remote mount or something like that if user is logged on
[23:23] <lauratika> no my problem is that i cant connect to any radio stations or software centre or ubuntu server... only if im root this works but no prob conecting with my account to internet
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> !away > rymate1234|away
[23:24] <djskidd> Isn't it illegal to robo-dial cellphones?
[23:25] <djskidd> Oops. Sorry guys, normally this autoconnects to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[23:25] <atdiehm_lappy> so, I have 11.10 with a 3.2 kernel, should I ask my question in here, or +1 ...
[23:25] <misaq> help
[23:25] <pp7> just ask!
[23:25] <lauratika> alanbell: without -R  brings me bacl mekabox@lauratika but still cant connect to radio stations or download any appliocation from the software center
[23:26] <Tibuktian> hey
[23:26] <Tibuktian> how can i check what my gpu is?
[23:26] <misaq> pp7: sorry. I am just in need for sleep. I am dying
[23:26] <Tibuktian> version and vendor
[23:26] <AlanBell> lauratika: ok, so it is something in your user directory it can't read/write to, or change ownership of probably a remote mount
[23:26] <pp7> lspci
[23:26] <Jordan_U> Tibuktian: lspci | grep VGA
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> Tibuktian: sudo lshw -C display
[23:27] <atdiehm_lappy> well I upgraded to kernel 3.2 because I was instructed in forums to upgrade to 3.2 to get support for my touchpad, however, now the right click button won't register, and the left click doesn't work with dragging ... and I don't know where to go to try and debug this
[23:27] <AlanBell> lauratika: maybe try from a terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) when logged out from the GUI
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> atdiehm_lappy: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[23:27] <AlanBell> lauratika: any reason why you think it is a permissions/ownership problem?
[23:27] <atdiehm_lappy> oneiric ?
[23:28] <atdiehm_lappy> ActionParsnip, ^
[23:28] <atdiehm_lappy> I said I was on 11.10 earlier I thought
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> atdiehm_lappy: you are using a 3rd party kernel, which isn't supported here
[23:28] <atdiehm_lappy> that's why I asked if I should ask in +1 :-p
[23:28]  * atdiehm_lappy joins #ubuntu+1
[23:28] <atdiehm_lappy> dammit sorry
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> atdiehm_lappy: could try, but I doubt it
[23:30] <wizonesolutions> I'm mounting a Windows partition using NTFS-3G, and it seems like no matter which options I specify, I can't get read/write access to the files.
[23:31] <lauratika> alanbell: because if im root and launch banshee or terminal it can connect to internet radio or ubuntu server
[23:31] <wizonesolutions> I don't think I'm using advanced and I haven't created a UserMapping file or anything. And other NTFS mounts (both partitions and external drives) are working fine.
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> wizonesolutions: if its an internl partition, you can add a lin in /etc/fstab to mount it at boot with decent access methods as you need
[23:33] <melki> Hi everyone, How do i setup a hotspot on ubuntu?
[23:34] <wizonesolutions> ActionParsnip: Yes, I did that, but I still can't seem to get it to mount with permissions that allow writing.
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> wizonesolutions: what line did you add?
[23:35] <agentgasmask> Hi all. Looking to build a server with a SuperMicro x8dali motherboard. I'm deciding to use the onboard motherboard raid array, or build it in software with mdadm. Are there monitoring tools for supermicro raid controlers (onboard)?
[23:36] <pp7> you're better off with hardware RAID
[23:38] <macPawns> can someone help me
[23:38] <macPawns> my touchpad isn't being recognized on livecd
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> macPawns: what make and model system?
[23:39] <mrdeb> hi
[23:39] <netninja> I had ubuntu (11.10) working great on my laptop, then I upgraded to 8gb of ram.  Now when I hibernate, it shuts down (or at least, when I turn the machine back on, it fresh-boots), and when I suspend, the video driver doesn't reinitialize when I turn the machine back on.  Thoughts?
[23:39] <macPawns> hp dm4-2181
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> netninja: is the ram healthy?
[23:40] <macPawns> it worked before
[23:40] <macPawns> then it stopped to
[23:40] <netninja> ActionParsnip: I see no reason to think not; brand new, laptop is running fine, ram diagnostics come up clean, Windows partition has no issues.
[23:40] <macPawns> day*
[23:41] <netninja> ActionParsnip: I'm new to desktop implementations of linux; been running server for a while (CentOS) -- should I use the ram test option at the grub loader?  I'm assuming that's what it's for?
[23:41] <melki> Hi everyone, How do i setup a hotspot on ubuntu 11.10 with gnome 3? the networkmanager keeps on self disconnecting after around 5 seconds (sometimes less).
[23:42] <netninja> ActionParsnip or Others: would the suspend problem with the video driver not initializing be a symptom of faulty ram?
[23:43] <wizonesolutions> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/DsLmye9a
[23:43] <pp7> netninja: remove the other old ram stick and find out
[23:44] <netninja> pp7: improper assumption; I had a 2-gig stick, now I have two 4-gig sticks.
[23:44] <pp7> netninja: i c
[23:44] <pp7> netninja: well remove one stick at a time to see if its a RAM problem
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> netninja: new doesn't mean it's automatically good
[23:44] <netninja> pp7: I appreciate the thought though
[23:44] <netninja> ActionParsnip: that's true.  So, should I do as I asked?
[23:45] <tjkent> I am having some trouble opening up synaptic, when I try to open it from terminal it says out of range
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> netninja: are you running centos now?
[23:46] <netninja> ActionParsnip: uuh, on other servers, yes, but not on the machine in question.
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> netninja: ok, hold shift at boot and select memtest86  and test the ram
[23:46] <kanhiya> Hello
[23:46] <kanhiya> everyone
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> melki: try disabling ipv6, can help
[23:46] <netninja> do I need to hold the shift key?
[23:47] <netninja> it's an option in grub that always comes up
[23:47] <kanhiya> I noticed one thing In uBUNTU that is Ubuntu provides less battery backup than Windows
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> macPawns: is there a shortcut to enable / disable the touchpad?
[23:47] <agentgasmask> pp7: I'm sure I am, but are there any monitoring tools for ubuntu that are compatable with supermicro?
[23:47] <kanhiya> i am using only firefox and pidgin in both cases
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> netninja: yes before grub loads or shows
[23:48] <pp7> agentgasmask: no idea
[23:48] <netninja> ok I did, but it loaded the same menu, and it's in the menu also
[23:48] <tjkent> does anyone know how I can fix synaptic so that it isn't our of range it says vector::_M_range_check
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: probably some proprietary acpi crap. Are there any bugs reported?
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> tjkent: does software centre work ok?
[23:48] <klj613> how can i make any files uploaded by a specific user automatically have ownership theuser:www-data ?
[23:48] <tjkent> yea
[23:48] <kanhiya> i also tried cpu frequency scaling  and minimum brightness
[23:49] <gua> i know it's totally not recommended, but in a no-win scenario, would it be better to install the virtualbox deb for debian lenny or for ubuntu 8.04 on ubuntu 9.10?
[23:49] <tjkent> ActionParsnip: yes it does
[23:49] <agentgasmask> Does anyone know wether there are raid monitoring tools for SuperMicro motherboards under linux?
[23:49] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: How do solve that problem
[23:49] <wizonesolutions> ActionParsnip: Was wondering if you'd have a chance to take a look at the link...if not it's OK, just lmk
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> gua: there is an ubuntu repo if you want closed source virtualbox
[23:50] <kanhiya> ActionParsnip: I noticed that CPU usage is high in case of Ubuntu while in Windows it is only 1-2 %
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: see if there are bugs reported
[23:50] <pp7> kanhiya: when doing nothing?
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> agentgasmask: Have you contacted supermicro?
[23:50] <gua> ActionParsnip: but not with the latest release for 9.10
[23:50] <pp7> kanhiya: what's using the CPU?
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> macPawns: try running: synclient AreaBottomEdge=3500
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> gua: Karmic is dead and offtopic here
[23:51] <ztag100> hey people, I'm new to Ubuntu
[23:51] <kanhiya> pp7: Gnome system monitor and compiz , etc
[23:51] <pp7> kanhiya: what is compiz using?
[23:51] <pp7> kanhiya: try disabling some effects and see what happens
[23:52] <lauratika> alanbell: sorry got disconected and still cant change ownership of home directory even with ctrl +alt F1
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> kanhiya: or try unity2D session
[23:52] <Probas> any good hex editor ? ( i need to check data in my usb stick)
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> wizonesolutions: what link?
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> !find hex
[23:52] <kanhiya> pp7: In windows  only 4-5 % using Firefox, torrent and pidgin
[23:52] <wizonesolutions> ActionParsnip: http://www.isup.me/data.gouv.fr
[23:52] <wizonesolutions> err
[23:52] <wizonesolutions> sorry
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> !info ghex
[23:52] <wizonesolutions> this one
[23:52] <FloodBot1> wizonesolutions: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:52] <AlanBell> lauratika: sorry, past my bedtime now, I am sure someone else can help
[23:53] <wizonesolutions> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/DsLmye9a
[23:53] <wizonesolutions> ActionParsnip: That's what I have for this partition in pastebin
[23:53] <wizonesolutions> lol...now THAT is irony. Flooded trying to paste a pastebin link
[23:53] <EZgoingDellTech> Hey ubuntu people
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> wizonesolutions: defaults won't be enough
[23:53] <wizonesolutions> ActionParsnip: I've gone all the way up to uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 but nothing budges it
[23:55] <tjkent> ActionParsnip: do you know how I can fix this?
[23:56] <Hilikus> i'm trying to give pulse access to a user in a headless setup. For some reason when it tries to start pulse it complains that there's no X authorization. How can i give the user JUST audio access, there's nothing graphical to run
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> wizonesolutions: you'll need something like:  rw,user,uid=1000,auto
[23:56] <Hilikus> i'm in ubunut server 11.10
[23:57] <VinZe_DiamoNd> Hola
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> tjkent: not sure, i've not heard of this, any bugs reported?
