[12:24] <dcorbin_wrk> The LTS doc says it will be supported for 3 or 5 years for desktop and server respectively.  How can one tell if one has desktop or server installed?
[12:25] <coz_> dcorbin_wrk,   do you have menus and windows ?
[12:25] <DJones> dcorbin_wrk: Typically, a server edition doesn't have a GUI
[12:25] <jrib> dcorbin_wrk: doesn't matter which you have installed. Being supported or not is a property of a package
[12:25] <dcorbin_wrk> coz_: I think yes.
[12:26] <coz_> dcorbin_wrk,  its likely,,, if you have applications and menus that you have the Desktop...
[12:26] <Pici> jrib: you mean that it is the property of a package.  Specifically the "Supported" field that shows in apt-cache show.
[12:31] <Jinxed-> hello
[12:34] <DynamicFail> I have a script that runs fine in the terminal once I am booted up but segfaults when I have it run with crontab... (note: the script needs to be run with root rights)
[12:35] <sipior> DynamicFail: which program in the script is producing the segmentation fault?
[12:35] <larious> I update my Pakage but I cant install online
[12:35] <larious>  I update my Pakage but I cant install offline I mean
[12:36] <Krahmer> Hello, does anyone know how I can easily run remote Ubuntu applications (with GUI) without installing something like Putty or VNC
[12:36] <nawi> how can I launch "gnome preferred applications", it's not where the user guide says
[12:36]  * ruggero waves hello
[12:37] <DynamicFail> sipior, the script starts a program that starts my mpeg encoder and it is that program that seg faults. I have confirmed that if I run it with env - once booted up it will also seg fault, but I added lines to explicitly set the PATH and it still segfaulted
[12:37] <DynamicFail> the program/script runs fine otherwise
[12:37] <BluesKaj> Krahmer, ssh ?
[12:38] <navwey> hi all
[12:38] <DynamicFail> I also set $TERM in the script
[12:38] <DamienCassou> hi
[12:39] <DamienCassou> is there a list of ubuntu-compatible good laptops?
[12:39] <Krahmer> Blueskaj - I can run ubuntu apps remotely via Windows doing that?
[12:39] <DJones> !hcl | DamienCassou You should find some help with this link
[12:39] <ruggero> Hi, I am running 10.10 and I bumping in the gnome-volume-control "Connection failed, reconnecting", I have no sound, but card is seen  by alsamixer.
[12:40] <Krahmer> I should have specified that I need them to run under Windows
[12:40] <ruggero> what shoud I　do ?
[12:40] <DJones> !laptop | DamienCassou PLus this link,
[12:41] <DamienCassou> DJones: thank you, I will have a look. Do you have any personal experience?
[12:41] <sipior> DynamicFail: can you run the program in a cron job from a non-privileged login?
[12:41] <lifestream> Hi, anyone use the PulseAudio equalizer? Is it really scratchy/crackly to you? VLC equalizer by comparison is very 'smooth', doesn't hurt the ears
[12:42] <DJones> DamienCassou: I'm afraid not, I#ve not bought a laptop for about 10 years
[12:42] <[TK]D-Fender> Krahmer: SSH + Ming X Server
[12:42] <DamienCassou> DJones: thanks
[12:43] <DynamicFail> sipior, I don't understand what you mean
[12:44] <Ben64> lifestream: i always remove pulseaudio
[12:44] <sipior> DynamicFail: well, you mentioned that the script failed when run with root privilege. can you run the program from your own crontab?
[12:44] <X-windowsUSR> <ljsoftnet - with VB - do yo know when the virtual drive space shows back up ?  I  created a 35 GB drive, then removed it - 35 is still missing though.
[12:44] <X-windowsUSR> using Oracle's Virtual Box
[12:45] <socram> i've ubuntu server installed, i need to use wine now. So i need to install a desktop. Does wine works well with xubuntu-desktop? or i'm better with gnome?
[12:45] <lifestream> Ben64: I need the equalizer though (have not had success with lapsda or alsaequal)
[12:45] <madc|SPYnX> socram it both stable
[12:45] <jrib> socram: shouldn't matter
[12:45] <lifestream> socram: it doesn't matter
[12:45] <DynamicFail> sipior, no I meant the program requires root privileges to run.
[12:45] <socram> ok, thanks
[12:45] <madc|SPYnX> you can use neither of those
[12:46] <sipior> DynamicFail: which encoder are you using?
[12:46] <DynamicFail> sipior, ie it works if I open up a the terminal and go sudo ./myscript.sh
[12:46] <navwey> i was getting error on installing vbox-4.0 error :wrong arcittecture 'amd64'
[12:46] <navwey> i m begginer
[12:46] <jrib> navwey: get the i386 package, not the amd64 one
[12:46] <coz_> navap,  open a terminal     uname -m
[12:47] <DynamicFail> sipior, it is a hardware encoder from Advanced Micro Peripheral
[12:47] <madc|SPYnX> navwey what is your firmware
[12:47] <ruggero> I have no sounds whatsoever and gnome-volume-control does not respond. My card is listed in lspci and it WAS working until few days ago. Do not know what happened, googled a lot but cant fix it. I have Maverik 10.10.
[12:47] <navwey> error in vbox Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 (>= 2.11)
[12:47] <coz_> ruggero,  in terminal type    alsamixer

[12:48] <jrib> navwey: is there a reason you aren't using the vbox from the repositories?
[12:48] <lifestream> ruggero:  have you tried going to alsamixer,  left/right to select,  and press 'm' make sure it goes green
[12:48] <ruggero> all slides for playback are full
[12:48] <dcorbin_wrk> Is there an appropriate /etc file to set system wide environment variables?
[12:48] <jrib> dcorbin_wrk: /etc/environment
[12:49] <ruggero> the "m" command I never tested it, now I did, it becomed green
[12:49] <lifestream> ruggero: I know it sounds silly, but I had that problem today,  and it worked :D
[12:50] <sipior> DynamicFail: i assume it requires root privilege for access to the device file? consider adding yourself to the group which owns the device node, so you can run your script without sudo.
[12:50] <ruggero> got green but I　have no sound, and still the gnome-volume-control shows "cannot connect". Do I　have to restart?
[12:51] <dcorbin_wrk> jrib: doh! thanks
[12:51] <lifestream> ruggero:  shouldn't need to restart,  how about   sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart ?
[12:51] <ruggero> now I　try
[12:51] <jrib> dcorbin_wrk: if you want documentation about « man pam_env » by the way
[12:52] <ruggero> hum... it seems I have no alsa-utils installed, let me check
[12:52] <DynamicFail> sipior, I just done understand how something can work in terminal but fail with crontab... I even tried running it with screen/crontab and still failed.
[12:52] <lifestream> Does anyone use a system sound equalizer that actually works? (yes, yes, I've read this and I've read that)
[12:52] <ruggero> alsa-utils => command not found
[12:52] <sipior> DynamicFail: the environment is different, for one thing.
[12:52] <ruggero> apt-get install alsa-utils
[12:52] <lifestream> ruggero:  when you get to the word 'alsa'  hit Tab to complete, i'm not sure if it's alsa-utils (i am not in Ubuntu ATM)
[12:52] <pinoyoragon> it seems that my swap is not active... how will i be sure?
[12:52] <ruggero> ok lifestream, try now
[12:52] <sipior> DynamicFail: difficult to say more without knowing more about the program you're running.
[12:53] <DynamicFail> sipior, I echoed the $PATH and $TERM from the terminal when it was working and then in my script I set those variables
[12:53] <ruggero> If I tab alsa I have only alsa-mixer-save and alsasound
[12:53] <DynamicFail> sipior, are there any other ways to have scripts start with root when my computer starts?
[12:53] <sipior> DynamicFail: there are other environmental variables. or perhaps the program expects an interactive shell?
[12:53] <madc|SPYnX> Help with TOR
[12:54] <ruggero> it seems it is alsasound restart

[12:56] <Samuel> newbie searches help..
[12:56] <paul_> is there a channel for newbs btw?
[12:56] <ruggero> I think the reason is that yesterday I moved my home directory to another disk.
[12:57] <lifestream> ruggero:  how about sudo modprobe  snd-ca0106
[12:57] <sipior> Krahmer: you'll need an X server running on the Windows box, and an ssh client to connect to the ubuntu box.
[12:58] <ruggero> it gives an empty answer
[12:58] <lifestream> thats good
[12:58] <Samuel> i've compiled hplip-3.11.1 and it works great but the folder by that name in my Download folder can't be removed

[13:01] <sipior> Samuel: are you running an executable or accessing a file in that directory?
[13:01] <ruggero> lifestream=> thanks for your help. modprobe snd-ca0106 it replies nothing
[13:02] <lifestream> ruggero: it's good, it replied nothing
[13:02] <ruggero> I do not know the meaning of "modprobe" command. I am googling that now
[13:02] <lifestream> ruggero:  type in a terminal:   whatis modprobe

[13:12] <Shvonder> rohith_: As I know about IEEE (I haven't succeed in the deal too) you shoud buy the article you need before download it.

[13:13] <dcorbin_wrk> Is there good tool for taking (and restoring) complete disk images of an ubuntu system?
[13:13] <lifestream> dd ?
[13:13] <DynamicFail> sipior, the program would only need an interactive shell if it required input wouldn't it?
[13:13] <ruggero> lifestream, yes I did that before. I reinstalled alsa, purged alsa and pulseaudio. I did many things.
[13:14] <Shvonder> lifestream: +1
[13:14] <lifestream> +1 ?
[13:14] <dcorbin_wrk> lifestream: I know dd can do it, but I was wondering if there was something more advanced.
[13:15] <ThinkT510> !cloning | dcorbin_wrk
[13:15] <sipior> DynamicFail: or expected to dump output there, yes. since i have no idea which particular program we're talking about, i thought i'd start throwing out ideas.
[13:15] <sipior> dcorbin_wrk: partimage is exceptionally good for what you want to do.
[13:15] <dcorbin_wrk> ThinkT510: Thanks, but I'm not talking about the packages.  I mean the entire disk, as-is, byte-for-byte.

[13:18] <stianhj> Will installing gnome-shell break something in my regular Ubuntu (10.04)? or can I just switch cleanly in gdm? and is there an up-to-date ppa for lucid?
[13:18] <JohnMurrayUK> Pumpkin: I have seen the articles about how to do it, but I just wondered whether it was 'supported'.  I can also do it in CentOS, but they don't 'support' it http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.5/technical-notes/Known_Issues-kernel.html
[13:20] <DynamicFail> sipior, can you think of alternatives to crontab that would allow me to start my file on boot?
[13:20] <sipior> DynamicFail: sure, add it to /etc/rc.local or the like.
[13:21] <Pumpkin-> JohnMurrayUK: ahh, good question. Depends on what definition of "supported". Supported as in has been developed to work, sure. Supported as in Canonical will support you, ask then :)
[13:22] <davidw> any ideas of what to look into to try some kernel upgrades in the hopes of fixing this intermittent suspend bug?
[13:23] <DynamicFail> sipior, but isn't rc.local still cron?
[13:23] <sipior> DynamicFail: no.
[13:23] <sipior> DynamicFail: do you need the program to run at regular intervals?
[13:24] <JohnMurrayUK> Pumpkin: Thanks buddy.  As long as they don't say they don't eh?  Wish me luck
[13:24] <Pumpkin-> "it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission". Not sure if this applies :)
[13:25] <DynamicFail> sipior, nope... just when my computer starts.
[13:25] <sipior> DynamicFail: well, there you go.
[13:25] <DynamicFail> sipior, it runs constantly. Currently I create a log file, but I'm thinking about having it run with screen so I can check on my script every now and again.
[13:26] <DynamicFail> sipior, I haven't been able to find a good link on how to set it up to work with rc.local any good links?
[13:27] <sipior> DynamicFail: it's just a shell script. add what you want run to it (before the "exit 0" statement, obviously)
[13:27] <DynamicFail> sipior, awesome. thanks
[13:27] <JohnMurrayUK> True.  Thanks for your help.
[13:28] <MarconM> is there ubuntu 11.10 for download yet
[13:28] <MarconM> ?
[13:28] <DynamicFail> sipior, how do you get something to run with root rights though?
[13:28] <sipior> DynamicFail: the script will be run as the superuser.
[13:28] <DynamicFail> sipior, well actually let me amend my question... how do I get it to run with mixed rights
[13:28] <ThinkT510> MarconM: the next release is 11.04, when that is released 11.10 will be worked on
[13:29] <DynamicFail> sipior, I have about 8 scripts that need to start. 1 has to be root, the others can't be root as they involve vlc and vlc wont' run with root privilege.

[13:29] <knightstalker> Might it be because of graphics driver or smth?

[13:30] <knightstalker> anyways,brightness is fine until you finally login
[13:30] <jlselect> thank you
[13:31] <DynamicFail> sipior, you mean within the script?

[13:32] <ruggero> I am doing sudo chown -R foldername username:username, no errors but nothings happens.
[13:33] <ohzie> ruggero: sudo chorn -R username:groupname foldername

[13:33] <ohzie> ruggero: and that doesn't change the permissions of the files, just the owners
[13:33] <buschwusch> herro, i'm about to install ubuntu on my mbp, yay. will the installer allow me a full encrypted install?

[13:34] <roknir> if i have a drive (/dev/sdc) that's wholly encrypted with truecrypt, is there a way i can find a UUID for it or can i only get a UUID for the partition (/dev/sdc1) once mounting with truecrypt?

[14:25] <erUSUL> JTS000ID: Xrandr (3)
[14:25] <JTS000ID> erUSUL, sorry?

[14:26] <billybob3> JTS000ID-I need to do it in terminal as screen is way too large to use.
[14:26] <erUSUL> raymondjtoth2: in the date and time conf dialog you can set the timeserver
[14:26] <raymondjtoth2> err were that
[14:27] <raymondjtoth2> under whar erusul
[14:27] <JTS000ID> billybob3, yes u can do that through terminal..by simply editing that file through gedit or vi
[14:28] <JTS000ID> but i didn't bookmark that link..search for something like "video card file on ubuntu" or something like that
[14:28] <erUSUL> raymondjtoth2: System>Admin>date an time or some such ( my ubuntu is not in english )
[14:28] <raymondjtoth2> o ok

[14:28] <littlejakub> hey all ;)
[14:29] <billybob3> JTS000ID- sorry, which file do you mean?
[14:29] <erUSUL> raymondjtoth2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution

[14:29] <billybob3> erUSUL - will that work?
[14:29] <JTS000ID> it's a file that contains information regarding video cards connected, etc.
[14:30] <JTS000ID> or perhaps u should try what erUSUL is saying..mine is a very vague solution
[14:30] <erUSUL> billybob3: if you have an nvidia graphic card it wont for the others it should
[14:30] <ttomek> littlejakub: throw your apple products through the window and never look back for them anymore.
[14:30] <billybob3> JTS00ID- ha ha ha ha
[14:31] <littlejakub> ttomek: haha, well- I like the sound quality on an iPod, and if I have the stuff- why not try to use it under Ubuntu? :)
[14:31] <littlejakub> ttomek: really curious if I could make use of it...
[14:31] <billybob3> erUSUL-you take me up and now you let me down ha ha ha yes I do have an nvidia card!
[14:32] <littlejakub> so... anyone knows if Apple Universal Dock could be used with LIRC? :>
[14:33] <piken> Does anyone know of a way to get a list of all package dependencies including the dependencies of those dependencies?
[14:33] <piken> for example, build-essential package list and their dependencies.
[14:35] <dscastro> hi.. how can i set correct gamma for lg flatron 19" and intel card?
[14:35] <JTS000ID> billybob3, i guess the file was called xorg.conf..
[14:35] <billybob3> erUSUL-xrandr is on my 9.04 system
[14:36] <billybob3> JTS000ID-thought that didn't exist in Ubuntu 10.04
[14:36] <erUSUL> billybob3: how did you installed the driver for that nvidia card?
[14:36] <JTS000ID> hmm i doubt that cuz i saw it couple of days ago

[14:42] <nisarg> please ask questions directly
[14:42] <billybob3> erUSUL-yes it would I agree. But my notes are on the other system that I am trying to access -I'm chatting here from ubuntu 9.04 but I will go back and try xrandr-in fact I may test it on here to see if it works despite what you said.
[14:42] <remco__> Hi, has anyone an idea why I cant download a file to any folder with Firefox ? it states that it doesnt have the permission to do so, even in folders with 777 rights

[14:43] <sipior> philipholland: what's acronis, exactly?
[14:43] <j_ayen_green> ah, found it
[14:44] <philipholland> Sipior acronis is a disk backup system
[14:44] <JTS000ID> erUSUL, I believe xRandR is an open-source project..
[14:44] <sipior> philipholland: and how are you running ubuntu? via virtualbox?
[14:45] <sipior> philipholland: or was this a wubi install?
[14:45] <philipholland> Isipior - I dont know My grandson installed it directly into XP

[14:46] <madmax_x> hello world i got a nice easy question for you all...how do i make my network restart after 2 min. if there is no dhcp server responce
[14:46] <sipior> philipholland: and what error is reported when you try starting ubuntu?
[14:46] <madmax_x> i tried the dhcp retry in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[14:46] <erUSUL> billybob3: i would; move the xorg.conf file out of the way and reboot. « sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.nvidia} »
[14:47] <philipholland> sipior I cant remember -i tried loading it on safe mode and ran some sort fo repair file command but it made it worse.
[14:48] <sipior> philipholland: hmm. the error message would be useful; difficult to guess at the problem without it.
[14:49] <philipholland> sipior. I can rerun eevrything but I just need to get my wifes files out of teh hard drive-where would I find them?
[14:49] <sipior> philipholland: this might be of some use: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=436923
[14:50] <sipior> philipholland: there are also some troubleshooting tips on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[14:51] <sipior> philipholland: in particular, point 8.14 looks like it might be useful to you.
[14:51] <enrjocky> so this is IRC.... cool lol
[14:51] <billybob3> erUSUL-and what happens when I do that? Is there an xorg.conf file there? I mean it's Ubuntu 10.04

[15:09] <liminal> ive not tried.. what would it prove?
[15:10] <Roasted_> elFidel, yeah. I had to remove some windows updates yesterday from my w7 box to get back nvidia functionality (don't ask, I have no idea). And I got to wondering if you can remove individual updates with ubuntu as well.

[15:10] <Dannyd> Hi, I installed sl, then $sudo apt-get --purge remove sl, after that when I type sl, it dosent list the packages it may be in, it just says "not in /usr/bin/games", how do i completely remove a package??
[15:11] <drcode> Pici, pre-released is only for upgrade? I have installed ubuntu 10.10
[15:11] <sipior> madmax_x: does increasing the timeout value in dhclient.conf help?
[15:11] <JuJuBee> erUSUL saame for kubuntu?  KDE lockdown...
[15:11] <ruan> hey. how do i record from my speakers? sound recorder stalls at 0 seconds, and audacity records at an extremely low volume which i have to amplify by 27.5 dB just to barely hear
[15:11] <elFidel> Roasted_: it is possible to remove single packages if thats your question. apt will handle the dependencies. So in general possible - but its related with package-dependencies
[15:11] <Dannyd> i installed by apt-get install sl
[15:11] <erUSUL> JuJuBee: yes
[15:11] <drcode> but I have problem with an old nvidia and xorg driver
[15:11] <fanthomas> where does xfce in ubutu get the available graphic modes from? sometime the max resolution in xrandr is 1024x600 which is correct and sometimes only 800x600
[15:11] <erUSUL> JuJuBee: also ask in #kubuntu ?
[15:11] <genii-around> madmax_x: You could try setting in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf  the variables: retry, timeout, and select-timeout  to higher values
[15:11] <drcode> I read that nvidia mx200 not working well with ubuntu 10.10
[15:12] <scoundrel50> llutz: sorry just found this now, I couldnt see any activity in here earlier. I have now managed to get it working, I was shown this command rename 's/\.JPG$/.jpg/' *.JPG that changed them all. Thank you. I wasnt ignoring you, I just couldnt see you.
[15:12] <sipior> liminal: the idea is to see if the problem lies with the system as installed, or with your hardware.
[15:12] <brian> hello?
[15:12] <brian> anyone there?
[15:12] <enrjocky> #
[15:12] <beacher> I have a problem : the chromium browser plugin(flash) crashed. Why?
[15:12] <erUSUL> !ask | Guest13990
[15:13] <madmax_x> sipor, genii-around, i tried the retry setting but it doesnt seem to apply when using nm-applet to manage the network...it still sits "down" until i physically interact with it and tell nm-applet to try 'auto eth0'
[15:13] <Guest13990> is anyone available to help me  out here?
[15:13] <ruan> Guest13990: yes...
[15:13] <Roasted_> elFidel, how would you go about that? Like if I found a specific update that was causing an issue, where are the individual updates stored?
[15:13] <madmax_x> wassup Guest13990
[15:13] <Dannyd> bump on the apt-get --purge remove question
[15:13] <sipior> Guest13990: usual protocol is to ask a question first.
[15:13] <Guest13990> I am having trouble with my sound
[15:13] <ruan> hey. how do i record from my speakers? sound recorder and audacity aren't working properly
[15:14] <Guest13990> it used to work but I couldn't get headphones to work so I installed drivers and now nothing
[15:14] <liminal> live cd still uses hardware.. just not harddrives
[15:14] <Roasted_> elFidel, like if I updated with 10 new updates and I have a problem, how would I get those 10 updates out?
[15:14] <elFidel> Roasted_: it's all package based - so check Ubuntu-software-center or synaptic to handle packages
[15:14] <liminal> and ive changed the harddrive
[15:14] <ruan> liminal: livecd can still mount harddrives
[15:14] <Roasted_> elFidel, so 10 updates = 10 packages?
[15:14] <Dannyd> Hi, I installed sl, then $sudo apt-get --purge remove sl, after that when I type sl, it dosent list the packages it may be in, it just says "not in /usr/bin/games", how do i completely remove a package??
[15:15] <sipior> madmax_x: the interfaces man page implies that the individual application config files are used for dhcp services. do you perhaps have multiple dhcp clients installed?
[15:15] <liminal> so what would running ubuntu from the livecd tell me.. my guess it still would crash
[15:15] <ruan> Dannyd: reinstall it then uninstall it
[15:15] <elFidel> Roasted_: i dont know what you mean - as you are still talking about updates ;)
[15:15] <Dannyd> so that it was in the state b4 the package was installed
[15:15] <sipior> liminal: the idea is to see if system ram is a problem.
[15:15] <Roasted_> elFidel, you're saying updates are package based. Does that mean if I get 10 updates, there are 10 new packages in synaptic?
[15:15] <sipior> liminal: or perhaps a misconfigured installation.
[15:15] <liminal> live cd uses ram more right? so it would crash more?
[15:15] <elFidel> Roasted_: in theory you could try removing/uninstalling those packages & then try to install the old versions again.
[15:16] <sipior> liminal: no.
[15:16] <liminal> live cd doesnt use ram?
[15:16] <sipior> liminal: of course it does.
[15:16] <elFidel> but thats a) related with handling dpeendencies and for sure nothing a starter should do (from my point of view)
[15:16] <Roasted_> elFidel, so if I have an issue with an apache update, I can nuke apache --purge and reinstall and it should come back without the updates?
[15:16] <Guest13990> this is my first time here. I just installed ubuntu this weekend
[15:16] <elFidel> Roasted_: apt will offer the last version on reinstall - so it will most likely not fix that issue
[15:16] <OerHeks> liminal live cd boots slower, and uses ram. but it is as stable as an installated linux
[15:17] <madmax_x> sipior, i have a plain install of 10.04...nm-applet (networkmanager) controls it
[15:17] <liminal> im confused.. lets say I use a live cd and the system doesnt crash.. that would prove what?
[15:17] <Roasted_> elFidel, hm, I'm still a little lost on *how* its possible to remove an update then.
[15:17] <liminal> its my installation process not hardwarE?
[15:17] <brverg> i need help... can't seem to open my home folders. i get error msg "unable to open document, can't open directory
[15:17] <arch_nme> is there a way to add a print to file printer to my list of printers?
[15:18] <sipior> liminal: look, we're just trying to get another data point on your system's behaviour. try it, or don't try it, i don't really care.
[15:18] <liminal> its not my system tho is it.. its a live cd
[15:19] <Guest13990> can anyone help me with getting my soundcard working properly?
[15:19] <sipior> liminal: we are trying to establish if your hardware is at fault.
[15:19] <naren_> can i edit login screen to my own
[15:19] <genii-around> madmax_x: Alternately, you could add a pre-start script stanza into /etc/init/network-manager.conf to check for a ping reply from dhcp server, wait a certain amount of seconds, try again until a reply, then continue only after a reply comes
[15:19] <sipior> liminal: i have explained this before.
[15:19] <ptte> liminal: Ofc you'd have to use the live cs on the same computer
[15:19] <ptte> *cd
[15:19] <OerHeks> Guest13990, do you hear a login sound at boot ?
[15:19] <Guest13990> yes
[15:19] <sipior> madmax_x: what happens if you configure the network interface through /etc/network/interfaces?
[15:20] <Guest13990> wait.......I'm not sure now
[15:20] <OerHeks> Guest13990, then your sound is oke, all you need is restricted extra's
[15:20] <liminal> sipior right.. so if its hardware your saying the livecd will still crash right?
[15:20] <OerHeks> !restricted
[15:20] <Guest13990> I did yesterday but then I tried installing a driver now I don't know
[15:20] <sipior> liminal: that's the idea.
[15:20] <madmax_x> genii-around, nice thank you illl look into thaat
[15:20] <cha0s2358> Hey guys I have a question that isn't directly Ubuntu related but I don't know where to ask so maybe someone cn either help me out anyway or point me in the right direction. I am running ubuntu 10.10 and my issue is with bandwidth allocation. I have high speed internet (3mbps down, .70mbps up) YET  when I am running "transmission" regardless of what speeds the download is running "even as low as 5kbps down" I can do NOTHING else o
[15:20] <cha0s2358> nline. web pages won't load etc. can anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction?
[15:20] <Guest13990> restricted extras?
[15:21] <madmax_x> genii-around, wait how can i ping if network started yet
[15:21] <ptte> cha0s2358: Are you sitting on a wireless connection?
[15:21] <OerHeks> cha0s2358, how about your upload with transmission ?
[15:22] <brverg> i need help... can't seem to open my home folders. i get error msg "unable to open document, can't open directory
[15:22] <kriume> why cant i use wireshark? when i press Interface List a little window opens and it says "description destination IP packets packets/S" and when i press ok, nothing more happends
[15:22] <cha0s2358> PTTE, i AM USING lAN connection
[15:22] <ruan> brverg: can you go to filesystem then /home?
[15:22] <ptte> cha0s2358: Does that mean you use a network cable?
[15:22] <cha0s2358> OerHeks, I have it limited to 5kbps upload
[15:22] <OerHeks> Guest13990, > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[15:22] <cha0s2358> ptte yes i use the ethernet cable
[15:23] <dschuett> what is the ubuntu server channel?
[15:23] <omenking> In osx I can go "open ." and will open the directory in a finder, how can I do the same in Gnome/Ubuntu?
[15:23] <ptte> cha0s2358: Have you been using the same router with other computers together with bt?
[15:23] <kriume> why cant i use wireshark? when i press Interface List a little window opens and it says "description destination IP packets packets/S" and when i press ok, nothing more happends
[15:23] <ThinkT510> !sever | dschuett
[15:23] <ThinkT510> !server | dschuett
[15:23] <sipior> cha0s2358: what's the *actual* amount of upload traffic. have you measured it? your downloads may be starved because return ACKs are not making it out.
[15:23] <Guest13990> hmm, I went to realtek and downloaded the linux drivers
[15:23] <genii-around> madmax_x: Sorry my brain is foggy, i forgot it's a chicken-egg thing. Does your /etc/network/interfaces file have an entry for that adapter?
[15:23] <heynow> hi all, quick question.. is there support for apple products... ie.. ipod/iphone
[15:23] <cha0s2358> ptte what do you mean?
[15:23] <arch_nme> is there a way to aadd a print to file printer to my printers
[15:24] <arch_nme> ??
[15:24] <ThinkT510> !ipod | heynow
[15:24] <ptte> cha0s2358: If you plug the same cord into some other random computer and run bittorrent, does that work?
[15:24] <cha0s2358> sipior the actual upload is limited to a total of 5kbps and my downloads run fine it is as if transmission is hogging everything
[15:24] <madmax_x> genii-around, no
[15:25] <madmax_x> auto lo and iface lo inet loopback
[15:25] <ruan> cha0s2358: you could try another BT client and see if the problem persists
[15:25] <sipior> cha0s2358: so, you haven't measured it
[15:25] <heynow> thanks!
 no
[15:25] <cha0s2358> ptte the only other computers i have run win7 and use Utorrent and have no problems it's only with the transmission
[15:25] <archangelpetro> so, is there anything that works with Nvidia optimus yet? i heard about switcheroo, but i'm not sure that really addresses anything properlky
[15:25] <Noeltorious> ugh evolution not prompting me for a password, remember is unchecked and i tried hitting forget passwords just in case...any ideas?
[15:25] <cha0s2358> sipior how do you mean meassure it?
[15:25] <ptte> cha0s2358: Ok, then it's probably not the router dying
[15:25] <cha0s2358> no i just replaced the router
[15:25] <cha0s2358> ptte^
[15:25] <beacher> excuse me,my OS is ubuntu 10.10 , I want to change login window.Then i selection 'system'-->'administration'-->'login screen'.But don't changed.What should i do? My first language is chinese,English is not good.
[15:26] <ruan> beacher: there is a chinese support channel if you'd like to try there
[15:26] <cha0s2358> ptte that was my original assumption as well but it did not fix the issue
[15:26] <ThinkT510> !zh | beacher
[15:26] <beacher> thanks
[15:27] <cha0s2358> sipior i wasn't aware of measuring it, I always just went by what I had it limited to in transmission and what transmission told me it was running
[15:27] <archangelpetro> anyone?
[15:27] <archangelpetro> !nvidia | archangelpetro
[15:27] <coz_> archangelpetro,  I dont know ,,, I am not up with all of nvidia stuff at this point... did google turn anything up?
[15:27] <Guest13990> ok it tells me I need to uninstall two codec packs, but I can't find them
 sorry... yes i can acces my folders thru filesystem then /home. but i can acces those folders from Places
[15:28] <coz_> Guest13990,  which 2?
[15:28] <ruan> brverg: oh ok
[15:28] <Guest13990> Ffcodec pack
[15:28] <miloss> hey pople i instal ubunto 10.10 on hdd 320gb and when i lock on sistem there is only 268gb howe that ?
[15:28] <Guest13990> and I forgot the other one
[15:29] <archangelpetro> coz_: well the stuff is generally out of date, but it says optimus isn't supported by nvidia, and doesn't work with X.. but that was a few months back, i've heard about switcheroo, but not really sure what's going on there
 so what do i do? have i accidentally changed something? it worked fine b4
[15:29] <ptte> cha0s2358: Have you tried some other client in ubuntu?
[15:29] <cha0s2358> thats what I am about to do now, any recomendations? ptte
[15:29] <coz_> archangelpetro,  ah ok... mmm my guess is nothing is happening at this point... i would just keep googleing  and also go to the #nvidia channel,,, not sure how active things are there
[15:29] <ruan> cha0s2358: qbittorrent
[15:29] <ThinkT510> miloss: marketing departments market hard drive sizes deceptively
[15:29] <kriume> why cant i use wireshark? when i press Interface List a little window opens and it says "description destination IP packets packets/S" and when i press ok, nothing more happends
[15:30] <archangelpetro> ok coz_ ty

[15:37] <Kimb> thanks
[15:37] <gumus> can't believe that all I need was lsb-core ...worked fine ! Thanks...By the way how did lsb-core do the trick?

[15:37] <ExplodingPiglets> let me check
[15:38] <ruan> ExplodingPiglets: .jar actually isn't it?
[15:38] <ExplodingPiglets> yes
[15:38] <ThinkT510> gumus: googleearth is made to be compatible with the linux standard base
[15:38] <LUcase> Actually Kimb: If you want to run Ubuntu OS in win7, you would need to virtualmachine it, or simply double-boot ubuntu,
[15:38] <coz_> sorry yes  .jar
[15:38] <ruan> ExplodingPiglets: it will open with java/openjava if you have it installed
[15:38] <ExplodingPiglets> yes it does.
[15:38] <coz_> ExplodingPiglets,   that should be  .jar
 i6t's ok, i got it fixed.. I changed the "open with" to nautilus. now it's working. thx by the way.
[15:38] <cutiyar> trying to make usb
[15:38] <coz_> ExplodingPiglets, ok then no installation require however

[15:53] <papna> jrib: That worked. Thanks.
[15:53] <jrib> papna: it's an accessibility feature allowing you to control the mouse with your numpad

[16:00] <ubuntu__> The drive doesn't show up in parted or gaperted
[16:00] <ubuntu__> *gparted, sorry
[16:01] <ruan> ubuntu__: does it show up when you type 'sudo fdisk -l' in a terminal?
[16:02] <ubuntu__> ruan, nope
[16:02] <ruan> that means its not detected at all
[16:02] <ruan> are you sure it's plugged in correctly, etc?
[16:03] <ubuntu__> Yep, I'm in live disk mode, and windows 7 is installed on it and working correctly

[16:08] <ruan> ubuntu__: i've googled but havent seen anything yet
[16:09] <ubuntu__> GauravButola, do an ls of the drive you are looking at and add it to the pastebin link
[16:09] <ruan> GauravButola: sudo fdisk -l
[16:10] <ruan> GauravButola: the drive that has boot flag (*) has grub on it
[16:10] <anilhw>  /j #ubuntu-server
[16:10] <ruan> GauravButola: or partiton. drive preferably
[16:10] <ruan> anilhw: without the space
[16:10] <GauravButola> ruan: I am dual booting with natty and currently on maverick

[16:11] <GauravButola> ruan: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/580171/
[16:11] <ruan> GauravButola: that means that grub is installed on /dev/sda1
[16:12] <ruan> GauravButola: and possibly the MBR
[16:12] <ruan> most probably*
[16:12] <GauravButola> ruan: does it mean that, if i remove the natty partition, my system wont have any issues in booting, maverick is on /dev/sda1

[17:00] <Henk__> I was checking out "awesome"
[17:00] <Henk__> And I was wondering
[17:00] <Henk__> What happens when I close awesome?
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> codeur:  check whats in the air runtime deb package.
[17:01] <sipior> Henk__: it ceases to be awesome?
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> Henk__:  clarify what yu mean...
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> 'theres no charge for awsome'
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> :)
[17:01] <raven> Dr_Willis, evolution is not owned by root
[17:01] <codeur>  Dr willis, can u explain a bit more, what do i have to chk?
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> codeur:  when you install 'air' it uses some deb package it downloads/generates/something.. see what it installed.
[17:02] <Henk__> Dr_Willis: Well, if I open the menu and do awesome/quit. What will happen?
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> Henk__:  You will go back to GDM login i imagine
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> Henk__:  try it and see.
[17:02] <Henk__> Okay

[17:03] <Dr_Willis> you fix it...

[17:04] <stickyboy> Why does traceroute6 come installed by default, but traceroute doesn't?  I've noticed that for a few releases...
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> codeur:  the deb package may show some binary executables that you want to check out.  for all i know there may be no cli only installer tool.
[17:05] <codeur> dr willis: does binary mean ending at .so?
[17:05]  * Dr_Willis wonders if theres an #AIR channel
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> codeur:  a .so is a library file
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> executable files have the executable bit set.
[17:06] <cheche> Anyone has seen a problema with Samba and Ubuntu 10.04 after upgrade from 8.04
[17:06] <GatorAlli> Why doesn't my cron script work? It has a command to update a database every minute but the database isn't updating. The commands work fine by themselves. - http://pastebin.com/AWrButss

[17:06] <cheche> I have a strage problem that always get fixed with restart samba
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> codeur:  its executable bit will be set.   not by any extension
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> you can use 'mc' to browse the contents of a .deb or extract the deb some other way
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> GatorAlli:  be sure to use the full path, and no alias's to commands (common issue with cron)

[17:08] <panfist> i was wondering how to change some behavior with my dual monitor setup. gnome panels are on one monitor, but desktop links are on the other
[17:08] <panfist> is there any way to globally change which monitor these things appear on?
[17:09] <GatorAlli> Dr_Willis: From what I see, the commands are using full path
[17:09] <GatorAlli> *s
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> panfist:  nvidia-settings tool has a 'primary' monitor that you select.. then thats tehre the icons end up. drag panel over to it.. if its not there allready
[17:10] <stickyboy> So Ubuntu installs traceroute6, but not the IPv4 one... instead there is tracepath and mtr.
[17:10] <stickyboy> Okie doke.
[17:11] <panfist> Dr_Willis: unfortunately i dont have an nvidia card
[17:11] <sipior> stickyboy: if you want to complain, try complaining to people who have some capacity to change the defaults. id est, not here.

[17:12] <gratnam11> it works but it doesnt ask me for a password
[17:12] <gratnam11> what am i doing wrong
[17:13] <stickyboy> sipior: Meh, wasn't a complaint.  Just seems illogical, no?
[17:13] <ruan> gratnam11: if it works without a password, then you're not doing anything wrong
[17:13] <gratnam11> oh
[17:13] <taiga> hello
[17:13] <sipior> stickyboy: not especially. different, maybe.
[17:13] <gratnam11> how do i make it work with password
[17:13] <taiga> is there a light version of ubuntu?
[17:13] <ruan> taiga: minimal?
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> panfist:  always a good idea to tell people what video chipset you got when asking video questions. :)
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> taiga:  theres lubuntu - thats about as light as you get  other then going totally 'minimal install'
[17:14] <ruan> !minimal
[17:14] <gratnam11> i thought this line ment it needs      password   Require valid-user
[17:14] <taiga> lubuntu? what's the wm there?
[17:14] <DJones> taiga: For lower memory/older systems? lubuntu or xubuntu are probably the best version
[17:14] <ruan> lxde?
[17:14] <ruan> !info lxde
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> !lubuntu
[17:15] <gratnam11> ruan please help me out
[17:15] <Proxy-n0v4_> concerning graphic cards, I'm currently researching a bit myself but asking here can't harm, either: which nvidias would be equal or better than a HD Radeon 4850?
[17:15] <taiga> xubuntu failed to install because there was too little ram
[17:15] <ruan> gratnam11: im not sure about this topic :/
[17:15] <taiga> lxde is like xfce?
[17:15] <taiga> not like fluxbox i hope
[17:16] <ruan> !info xfce
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> taiga:  it uses openbox I think
[17:16] <gratnam11> okay thanks
[17:16] <melter> is there a way to get the ubuntu live cd to not mount swap partitions?
[17:16] <Keebab> could somebody help me with the sounds on youtube?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> lxde is lighter then xfce
[17:16] <coz_> xubuntu-desktop
[17:16] <ruan> yeah, lxde is lightest
[17:17] <taiga> but i mean, does it look a bit like microsoft windows?
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> Keebab:  you can set Youtube to use HTML5 that will work in chrome,  if you want to work 'around' the no sound in flash issues.
[17:17] <taiga> if not, it would be rejected
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> taiga:  it has buttons and windows.. what more would  you expect.. check its homepage.
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> dosent everything look a bit like windows?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> lxde is designed for low power systems..  so they would reject somthing that works well..  and instead choose somthing that looks difffent and works worse.. :)
[17:19] <jjp_> Dr_Willis: well, all window manager don't provide the same... er... 'user experience'.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> lxde is a 'desktop' :) not juist a window manager.
[17:19] <taiga> Dr_Willis, imo fluxbox does not
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> fluxbox IS just a window manager.
[17:19] <taiga> k
[17:19] <ruan> Dr_Willis: not all windows look like windows
[17:19] <jjp_> ruan: thanksfully
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> windows dosent have to look like windows. :)
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> win95 vs Win7....
[17:20] <m_tadeu> hi...what's a good tool to recover deleted files?
[17:20] <jjp_> Or 3.0 vs Seven
[17:20] <DJones> !recover | m_tadeu
[17:21] <taiga> +(Dr_Willis+) win95 vs Win7.... <--- either, just not windows 3
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> m_tadeu:  good luck with that . :) they exist.. but if you can get anything from them is a channalge.
[17:21]  * Dr_Willis gets out his copy of MS-BOB.
[17:21] <ruan> dos vs win7
[17:21] <qwertyuiopppp> hi
[17:21] <jjp_> ruan: come on, you cannot claim dos has a window manager part
[17:22] <ruan> lol
[17:22] <Keebab> Dr_Willis: I used to have sound on yt till I installed exaile (I think its the reason)
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> !info exaile
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Keebab:  i find it hard to belive that installing a music player would break flash.
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Keebab:  you have sound in other apps?
[17:22] <Keebab> yes
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> 'no sound in flash' is a common issue.
[17:23] <kmanzoor> hello
[17:23] <Keebab> mayby music player changed something?
[17:23] <ruan> doubt it. you could reinstall flash though
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> check yoru mixer settings . Its possible a Flash UPDATE changed flash somehow,.
[17:24] <jjp_> Keebab: may be the audio device is already accessed by the music player ?
[17:24] <coder2> sometimes in vlc while playing a video....a black screen appears why???
[17:24] <jjp_> coder2: may be unsupported video codec
[17:24] <jjp_> or error in the video
[17:25] <ruan> more like failing video codec or rendering not going too well
[17:25] <coder2> jjp_: .avi format
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> or currupted video
[17:25] <jjp_> coder2: avi is not really a video format, more like a contener
[17:25] <Keebab> jjp_: i dont know..
[17:25] <ruan> coder2: what's the cpu usage while playing it?
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> or some odd video driver quirk.
[17:25] <coder2> ruan: dont know
[17:26] <ruan> hmm
[17:26] <mena> hi

[17:28] <m_tadeu> DJones, Dr_Willis thanx...foremost seems to be recovering
[17:29] <Osmodivs> I cant run a program, What could be wrong?
[17:29] <ruan> coder2: the software which decodes the format which is playing

[17:29] <ruan> hmm not really
[17:29] <coz_> translators
[17:29] <bruteforce_allti> Hi, during boot up my grub shows 4 kernel versions. Should I keep them as it is or remove older kernel version?

[17:45] <YouKay> Hey guys, is there an app to utilise gnome clock applet's calender facility (events, anniversaries etc.) other than evolution?
[17:45] <aeon-ltd> Warwolt: please don't.... choose what you can run and what you like
[17:46] <MarconM> i want to know about frame buffer
[17:46] <aeon-ltd> Warwolt: there is no best(or a perfect fit), so suggestions are pointless
[17:46] <MarconM> is there somebody that know about it
[17:46] <newby115> Have lost grub boot-up menu. System boots straight into low res (720x400) screen. Surely there must be an easy way to change the resolution to at least workable???
[17:47] <patrykr> Error reciving packet from recursor backend: Connection refised
[17:47] <coz_> MarconM,     https://wiki.edubuntu.org/FrameBuffer
[17:47] <hal> does anyone know how to change the background of the login screen when ubuntu starts up?
[17:47] <buschwusch> :o
[17:47] <MarconM> hal, i think this is a theme for your ubuntu
[17:47] <llutz> patrykr: add "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" to /etc/resolv.conf  and test
[17:48] <buschwusch> yay ubuntu
[17:48] <ruan> lol
[17:48] <newby115> is it a case of reinstall?
[17:48] <patrykr> i cant, cuz it will be overwritten
[17:48] <hal> MarconM: how do you set that?
[17:48] <llutz> patrykr: add "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" to /etc/resolv.conf  and test it             it won't be overwritten until you do a network restart or a dhcp-req
[17:48] <ruan> newby115: system > preferences > monitors?
[17:48] <Newk> hi guys! how is keymap configured in ubuntu? (linux?)
[17:48] <patrykr> ok

[17:49] <MarconM> its beatifull but ... get a lot work
[17:49] <MarconM> =)
[17:49] <hal> MarconM: the background can be changed once you have logged in , regardless of the theme you chose
[17:49] <Phong_> MarconM, what is "Labia Majora" ?
[17:50] <patrykr> should I reload/restart somethin after add that google dns?
[17:50] <llutz> patrykr: no
[17:50] <thut> schnuffle: it does'nt show anything when I execute the command 'deborphan'
[17:50] <newby115> ruan- Can't get into that-screen resolution is at 720X400
[17:50] <ruan> Newk: keyboard layout?
[17:50] <ruan> newby115: can't you use tab?

[17:51] <patrykr> it works:)
[17:51] <ruan> newby115: click on the panel and use arrow keys to navigate to monitors?
[17:51] <newby115> ruan-no. You boot into 720x400 screen and tell me what you can see : b
[17:51] <mena> ????
[17:51] <ruan> newby115: lol
[17:51] <ruan> newby115: i'll try
[17:51] <schnuffle> thut: just a moment
[17:51] <jebblue> YouKay: I'm pretty sure that the evolution backend data server is what that applet uses - you can make your Google calendar (and I have my Eclipse Live calendar) show up in that applet - but other apps that use the Gnome calendar?  not sure
[17:51] <taiga> Phong_, it's that cute thing you can see between little girls' legs
[17:52] <llutz> patrykr: repair your dns-server

[17:52] <ruan> hold on, changing resolution
[17:52] <patrykr> but what about pdns?
[17:52] <llutz> patrykr: idk what that is
[17:52] <newby115> ruan - the only usuable thing and with difficulty is the terminal
[17:52] <Phong_> taiga, does it has to be little girl?
[17:53] <teage> talking about little girls is kind of disturbing
[17:53] <schnuffle> thut: try sudo deborphan -a
[17:53] <Newk> ruan: thanks! will look if i can sort it out with those
[17:53] <ruan> newby115: i can still access the panel in 720x450
[17:53] <taiga> Phong_, no but i wanted to illustrate
[17:53] <patrykr> powerdns
[17:53] <Newk> !Shortcuts
[17:53] <newby115> ruan-not on my screen
[17:53] <Phong_> taiga, maybe i should check it at wikipedia
[17:53] <llutz> patrykr: i refuse to run own dns except some caching dnsmasq
[17:53] <ruan> newby115: hmm
[17:54] <ruan> newby115: are you on nvidia, ati, or intel graphics?
[17:54] <llutz> patrykr: pdns should have logs, check em to find whats wrong
[17:54] <newby115> ruan-you see I had already magnified my desktop settings
[17:54] <taiga> teage, why, you have some kind of phobia?
[17:54] <newby115> ruan-nvidia

[18:07] <skulltip> hi, need some advise. i'm setting an ubuntu 10.10 32bit pc up for my mom, her old pc has bit the dust. she lives alone and has bad vision - uses glasses and resolution as low as 800x600. do i need to give her a complicated password, she only uses it to play games, pay bills, and email.
[18:08] <skulltip> in other words is it good idea to give root some password?
[18:08] <mena> evilvish? can you solve and explaon to my about The file is not a regular file or is not a text file.?
[18:08] <mena> i need your explaination
[18:08] <schnuffle> thut: sudo apt-get purge kdelibs5
[18:09] <skulltip> and can i set up automatic updates without her intervention of typing in the password, so they are automatic. only using the default repos.
[18:09] <khrm> skulltip Yes. Absolutely. But I don't think we generally setup root in ubuntu. Your mum will not need it. It doesn't ask for  it. We just use sudo.
[18:09] <thut> schnuffle: When I am doing 'sudo apt-get remove kde4libs' I get an 'unable to locate' answer
[18:09] <phonex01> Hello !

[18:39] <NatureTM> so I only have 1 dev node for the entire disk
[18:39] <jiltdil> mena: give the output of that

[18:40] <mena> llutz please send me a command?

[18:41] <saintbasil_> steve1: do i need to reboot?
[18:41] <jiltdil> mena; and also of sudo getent passwd

[18:44] <jiltdil> mena: which one?
[18:45] <mena> jiltdil, sudo getent passwd

[18:46] <judgen> When you install grub(2) in the mbr. Will the entire MBR be cleared during the process or are there bytes that is not touched? i am trying to rid my windows disk from a rootkit that is in the last bytes of the MBR using my ubuntu partition.
[18:48] <llutz> judgen: nope, maximum 440 bytes (of 512)
[18:48] <judgen> llutz: how do i clear the last bytes then?
[18:48] <llutz> judgen: you shouldn't, it contains the partition table
[18:49] <judgen> llutz: even so, i can reinstall everything just as long as i am sure that there is nothing left of that vicious rootkit left on the disk. I have nothing of importance on the drives anyways.
[18:49] <jiltdil> mena: read this and password protect ur net http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1093766
[18:50] <judgen> llutz: the partition table is altered by me recently. So those bytes should be overwritten then?
[18:50] <ajah> how can routing internet connection from my wired interface to my wireless interface through terminal
[18:50] <llutz> judgen:sudo  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1                  would clean all
[18:50] <llutz> judgen: but then you have a "virgin" disk. no bootloader, no partitions
[18:51] <Realcoolguy> Judgen: I would just zero out the drive at this point
[18:51] <judgen> llutz: would the process take a very long time?
[18:51] <llutz> judgen: 0.01 sec
[18:52] <judgen> llutz: is dd installed by default on the net-boot disk? as i guess i can not run it from active partition.. right?
[18:52] <llutz> judgen: what are we speaking about "MBR using my ubuntu partition."      MBR or ubuntu partition? those are different things
[18:52] <jiltdil> is there any way to convert text file to pdf via termainl?
[18:53] <safeWay> hello, one guy told me a command in terminal after I typed I cannot watch videos in fullscreen
[18:53] <safeWay> it was something about flash
[18:53] <psusi> wow... tar takes 9m39s to back up my linux-kernel Maildir to null... dump does the job in only 10 seconds
[18:53] <steve1> safeWay: in terminal type: history | grep flash
[18:54] <judgen> llutz: i want the disks to be virgin clean, so that no bits are left at all. The rootkit i have contracted on my windows disk puts some code in the MBR and then the rest of the code in free space on the drive and is highly encrypted.
[18:54] <GOMI> my flash videos are choppy it seems its a big problem on the forums is theire a fix ?
[18:54] <safeWay> steve1: http://jsfiddle.net/H4LmV/1/

[18:54] <llutz> judgen:sudo  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1                  would clean the MBR
[18:54] <mena> jiltdil?
[18:55] <mena> llutz?
[18:55] <judgen> llutz: i will use that. Hopefully it will be spankingly good for it =D
[18:55] <safeWay> when i watched in fullscreen i got some white flashes now i cannot watch in fullscreen at all
[18:55] <llutz> judgen: i don't know if the netinstall-cd comes with dd, i'd guess yes
[18:55] <Realcoolguy> dd is amazing
[18:55] <jiltdil> mena:what happend?
[18:55] <steve1> safeWay: that would indicate nothing was ran in terminal with the word "flash".  if you can think of any of the words that was executed, replace "flash" in that command with the word you remember.
[18:55] <mena> i send the result
[18:56] <jiltdil> Realcoolguy:also shred is fantastic but if use use it safely

[19:04] <jiltdil> sudo init 0   or shutdown by shutdown -h now or ctrl+alt+del or just clicking shutdown optin in your computer
[19:05] <steve1> safeWay: the only other option, then, is to read through each of your commands by reading through the output of the command:  history
[19:05] <Yoinx> alnewkirk, You didn't really have to paste the ips... I was just wondering how you set it up... IE. is it actually on an ubuntu server?
[19:05] <mena> jiltdil, sudo int 0?
[19:05] <Yoinx> Or are you just trying to connect from your ubuntu computer?
[19:06] <jiltdil> mena: sudo init 0   or shutdown by shutdown -h now or ctrl+alt+del or just clicking shutdown optin in your computer. completely power off your computer .yes ude if u want init 0
[19:07] <Yoinx> I'm going to assume you're just using pptpclient http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/#gettingstarted
