[04:44] <two> im having trouble with the main menu screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, some of teh menu items wont highlight and the buttons are all squished, anyone know why?
[04:45] <ubuntu_> qt-x its doing it again ... :/
[04:45] <qt-x> than to a back and forward on install app. it should appear what you looking for
[04:45] <iqbala> ardchoille: any idea why start is grayed out.. even tho i can pick the /dev/sr0 fine
[04:45] <ljamisonii> philabole: haha...that absolutely sucks. The only other thing I can suggest is as long as you don't have anything important on your current install, remove and reinstall the ubuntu OS.
[04:45] <ubuntu_> qt-x it is still empty ...
[04:46] <philabole> ljamisonii: i thought you might say that
[04:46] <two> im having trouble with the main menu screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, some of teh menu items wont highlight and the buttons are all squished, anyone know why?
[04:46] <riverbird> philabole, mouse mounts as a device.  you should unmount it before just unplugginf it.  if you reboot with the mouse plugged in, it should be fine
[04:46] <ardchoille> iqbala: No, I've used hb for a while and never seen that
[04:46] <iqbala> ardchoille: i am using ghb
[04:46] <ljamisonii> philabole: take riverbird's suggestion haha
[04:46] <iqbala> ardchoille: i had not seen this symtom either in the past
[04:47] <IceWewe> I have an HVR-1600. Mythtv is segfaulting. Is there any way to manually watch the video stream from the card? (Digital, not analog)
[04:47] <drunkpunk> hey folks, can anyone help me change permissions for a whole heap of folders containin a hwole load more .mp3s? everything i've tried with chmod so far has been a dead end...
[04:47] <philabole> riverbird: ah...so a reinstall should do it
[04:48] <Gaming4JC> I figure I'll politely ask this again... What Logs can tell me when files have been deleted/moved? <-- somewhat important since there's a lot of data missing :s
[04:48] <riverbird> philabole, no reinstall, just reboot
[04:48] <ljamisonii> Gaming4JC: check this out...if you can't figure it out and the client knows the information they lost, this may be able to help...http://www.ehow.com/how_2064953_recover-deleted-files-linux.html
[04:48] <qt-x> ubuntu_ start over with the install
[04:48] <ctmjr> IceWewe: mplayer kaffiene vlc and not recommended me-tv
[04:48] <philabole> riverbird: already tried that
[04:49] <Gaming4JC> ljamisonii: thanks.
[04:49] <IceWewe> ctmjr, how would I play it? using mplayer on /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 doesn't work
[04:49] <ljamisonii> Gaming4JC: not a problem ^_^ I'll keep looking to see if there's anything better, but that should at least give you a start
[04:49] <IceWewe> ctmjr, I'm not talking about a file that mythtv's created, I'm talking about playing directly off the card input
[04:50] <riverbird> philabole, try rebooting with the  mouse unplugged, then plug in after youre up
[04:50] <ctmjr> IceWewe: i know what your talking about you want to watch tv
[04:50] <philabole> riverbird:sorry tried that too
[04:50] <IceWewe> ctmjr, yes, I just can't remember the command...
[04:51] <riverbird> lol.  sorry
[04:51] <riverbird> not funny
[04:51] <uiuiui> hey, does rc.local actually work on 9.10???
[04:52] <ctmjr> IceWewe: you dan try mplayer dvb:// put you should have a channel conf file
[04:52] <uiuiui> it has execute permission, it is owned by root
[04:52] <secretstory> happy new year for all :)
[04:52] <uiuiui> even added it manually by update-rc.d rc.local start 2 3 4 5.
[04:53] <uiuiui> it seems all startup scripts dont run fine
[04:53] <uiuiui> cant even get dhcp3-server to load on startup

[05:16] <Drunkpunk1> qt-x: tried -R with caps
[05:16] <tos_> is there a GUI user manager for ubuntu, to set quotas, limits, restrictions, etc.......?
[05:16] <qt-x> -R v
[05:17] <tvaughn> tos_, theres one under system administration i think

[05:17] <tvaughn> either that o under prefrences o.o
[05:17] <Drunkpunk1> qt-x:will give it a go whats th v do?
[05:17] <tvaughn> verbose
[05:17] <tvaughn> it will annonce everything it does
[05:17] <marcham89> tos_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289571
[05:17] <tos_> tvaughn, do you know the name of it>?

[05:18] <tvaughn> philabole, wired or wireless
[05:18] <marcham89> philabole: could you please give a bit more detail (exactly what is happening, what do you have to configure, is this wireless, etc)

[05:19] <webbb82> hey i shrank my main partiton so i could  do a dual boot setup but when i get to the partition part in the installer use unused disk space isnt there aswell as install side by side   anyone got any ideas
[05:19] <Drunkpunk1> qt-x:is it a prob that the parent folder contains a whole bunch of folders that then contain the mp3s?
[05:19] <qt-x> or "chmod [options] *" for all files in folder
[05:19] <tvaughn> Drunkpunk1,  thats the point of the -R
[05:19] <qt-x> then -R
[05:20] <qt-x> that is what manual say
[05:20] <ardchoille> I probably would have used: find /path -name "*.mp3" -exec chmod a+r
[05:21] <qt-x> only if the user dose not have the privileges to run comand well be a problem
[05:21] <philabole> tvaughn: i have run ubuntu for over a year and i know it should take to the internet naturally but it isn't....
[05:21] <tvaughn> philabole, if you dont say what your having to do exactly each time...
[05:22] <tvaughn> how is anyone supposed to help?
[05:22] <ardchoille> Drunkpunk1: Be careful of running recursive chmod that removes the x bit as that will lock you out of affected folders
[05:22]  * MrDudle brb
[05:22] <philabole> tvaughn: one minute
[05:22] <qt-x> the output of the command is of help :D
[05:22] <Drunkpunk1> ardchoille: cheers for the heads up, i'm runnin nothing straight away

[05:27] <NOC1> sry what was the question again??
[05:27] <skyllo> batist
[05:27] <skyllo> to install back?

[05:27] <tvaughn> hm i tried changing the port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and now if i try running ssh <IP_ADDRESS> it does connection refused on port 22 and if i specify the -p 20050 it says connection reset by peer
[05:27] <ardchoille> Drunkpunk1: Have a read here:  http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/linux-file-permissions.html
[05:28] <c3101> tvaughn, try   telnet host 20050 and see if you get ANY connection, might be a firewall problem
[05:28] <Drunkpunk1> ardchoille:readin right now
[05:28] <tvaughn> could nto resolve host
[05:28] <NOC1> wireless-n wlan minicard
[05:28] <c3101> tvaughn, well there's your problem !

[05:29] <tos_> any1 know how to setup a public 8 block of ips to be managed by ubuntu-server....
[05:29] <tos_> i.e. ubuntu gives ip to virtual servers....
[05:29] <tvaughn> c3101, it works if i do telnet <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:29] <c3101> erm
[05:30] <bastid_raZor> skyllo: sudo apt-get install conky
[05:30] <c3101> tvaughn, from a remote machine, telnet to the machine's ip that is running the sshd on 20050, like such -> telnet <ip addr of the remote machine> 20050

[05:32] <NOC1> thanks all of u
[05:33] <tvaughn> ardchoille, ill steal that thanks
[05:33] <ardchoille> tvaughn: :)
[05:33] <NOC1> nite
[05:33] <c3101> tvaughn, if you can't connect to the remote machine via telnet, you sure aint going to connect via ssh, because there is no connection, either because of routing, firewalling, etc., first get the connection, then i'm sure it will work
[05:34] <Drunkpunk1> ardchoille:well, my learning curve just got steeper, am going to need coffee to digest this before locking myself out of my files
[05:34] <tvaughn> c3101, how can i find what the problem is though
[05:34] <handrus> good night!
[05:34] <bastid_raZor> !ssh | tvaughn read this page, it'll help troubleshoot
[05:34] <Drunkpunk1> ardchoille: tvaughn: qt-x: many thx and happy NY
[05:35] <philabole> Is there another channel that i can get help with my internet issue....i'm desperate
[05:35] <handrus> what is the right architecture for a phenom quad core on apt-build ?
[05:35] <marcham89> philabole: linux channel
[05:35] <ardchoille> Drunkpunk1: once you star using the command line, it'll get easier :)
[05:36] <bastid_raZor> handrus: which version of ubuntu is what matters. if youinstalled the 64bit or the 32bit.
[05:36] <dre> hey all happy new year
[05:36] <handrus> bastid_raZor, 64bit
[05:36] <dre> all the best
[05:37] <skyllo> How do I find the file editable in conky? I can not find the folder using CTRL + H. ..
[05:37] <bastid_raZor> handrus: 86_64x is the correct arch
[05:37] <bastid_raZor> skyllo: ~/.conkyrc ..but normally first use time you need to create it and for a .conkyrc file you need to snag an example from the conky site or create your own
[05:38] <qt-x> you're welcome
[05:38] <handrus> bastid_raZor, I just installed apt-build and its asking me the processor arch... I have nocona, core2, k8, opterom, athlon 64 etc
[05:39] <Dezine> I was wondering if anyone could tell me what script is used to power http://releases.ubuntu.com/ such as a cms of sorts of it is a custom script
[05:39] <handrus> just this options... should I just enter manually "x86_64" at /etc/apt/apt-build.conf ?
[05:45] <seenu> hi
[05:47] <dnivra> how do I install new login screen themes in karmic? In jaunty it was just a matter of selecting the source file from System->Admn->Login windows. I asked in #tango but no response; was just wondering if anyone knew how to do so here.
[05:48] <qt-x>  dnivra: gdmsetup command i guse
[05:48] <wowoto> dnivra: download the login theme ，then install it
[05:49] <dnivra> qt-x: nope the gdmsetup aint it; it's same as System -> Admn -> Login Screen. nothing there to choose the source.
[05:50] <dnivra> wowoto: I thought so too; but small issue - no configure script or anything in the source!
[05:50] <qt-x> drag ther the sorce
[05:51] <digitalchemist> Hey, I need a way to get a transparent gnome-panel. Using compiz's opacity plugin is a non-solution (it makes the icons and text transparent). Adjusting the background transparency with gnome-panel doesn't show windows that move under the panel, so it's not true transparency. So, wtf... ?
[05:51] <dnivra> qt-x: are you using karmic? or some other version?
[05:52] <qt-x> I did so on 9.4 and work
[05:52] <sepehr> planning on installing XP to dual boot with my current ubuntu karmic, i am well aware that windows will wipe out grub, but have no idea how to restore grub2 and have it with both windows and karmic boot options
[05:52] <qt-x> in gdmsetup chose login screen tab
[05:53] <qt-x> then drag there
[05:53] <dnivra> qt-x: that's in jaunty. this is what gdmsetup looks like in karmic if it's of any help. http://yfrog.com/jkscreenshotloginscreensep
[05:53] <Izinucs> sepehr: you doing this to play games?
[05:53] <sepehr> many reasons
[05:54] <LinuxPhreak> I need help getting compiz-fusion to work on Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop. I've installed restricted drivers but not sure if they need to be configured or how to configure them. I've also ran sudo compiz and sudo compiz --replace and got some messages saying thinngs didn't pass
[05:54] <Izinucs> sepehr: if not games then you might consider installing in virtualbox instead.. you won't have the grub issues and you'll have access to windows within ubuntu without rebooting
[05:55] <qt-x> so it is not like this ? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Gdmsetup.png
[05:55] <dnivra> qt-x: be right back alright.
[05:56] <sepehr> i already have virtual box and most wine software out there (ie: playonlinux, crossover linux, cedega, wine doors) but i actually need windows for reasons where virtualbox and wine cant just cut it
[05:56] <wowoto> dnivra: you can  download the gdm from here ： http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/extras/  then install it      hope you like it
[05:56] <skyllo> I see that all drivers are installed?
[05:57] <Izinucs> sepehr: well all I can do unfortunately is have ubottu give you the grub link
[05:57] <skyllo> card drivers?
[05:57] <Izinucs> !grub2 | sepehr
[05:57] <sepehr> thx il check it out
[05:58] <LinuxPhreak> can anyone help me install compiz on my Dell Inspiron 8500
[05:58] <skyllo> I see that all drivers are installed?
[05:58] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  do you have ubuntu installed along with the video driver?
[05:59] <LinuxPhreak> I have Ubuntu 9.10 and nvidea restricted drivers activated
[05:59] <coz_> LinuxMercedes,  ok did you reboot the system after installing the nvidia drivers?/
[05:59] <LinuxPhreak> yes
[06:00] <skyllo> I see that all drivers are installed?
[06:00] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  ok is this gnome?
[06:00] <LinuxPhreak> accoring to my drivers spot in ubuntu they are active
[06:00] <ardchoille> skyllo: What is your issue?
[06:00] <musikgoat> Happy New Year!

[06:05] <skyllo> ardchoille My problem is I do not know how to see this information only that
[06:05] <Izinucs> LinuxPhreak: you trying to get the "cube" working?  if so you'll need to change the setting to extra
[06:05] <skyllo> ardchoille help me?
[06:05] <LinuxPhreak> already ahead bof you on this one. I've used in past on other computers just not this
[06:05] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  ah cool :)
[06:06] <itsnotstalking> wtf is with firefox dieing and not finding anything for short periods all the time
[06:06] <skyllo> I see the status of the card drivers?
[06:07] <itsnotstalking> the internet works fine, just FF
[06:07] <xiong> I recently upgraded to 9.10. There used to be a panel applet in the upper-right which allowed me to switch users, restart/shutdown/logout, and even set my ICQ status. Now it's gone and 'Add to Panel' doesn't seem to have that thing anymore -- only about three things that collectively do some of the same stuff. What have I done? What can I do?
[06:08] <xiong> It would help if I could remember the name of the old applet/menu.
[06:08] <dnivra> anyone know how to install login screen themes in karmic? I've downloaded the tarballs but they don't have any configure scripts and I find no way to install them from System-> Admn -> Login Screen like it's possible in Jaunty.
[06:09] <kmyst> xiong: i'm on intrepid and it is called user switcher
[06:09] <coz_> dnivra,   well if you mean gdm themes   I do indeed but you really cant install gdm themes anymore if you are on ubuntu karmic
[06:09] <danny> Does anyone know why searches from the Ubuntu start page are not showing up in my Google History page?
[06:10] <xiong> kmyst, Thank you. 'User Switcher' is one of the things still available but it's not like the old one.
[06:10] <xiong> kmyst, At least I will have a starting point for tracking down the change.
[06:10] <coz_> dnivra,  actually the more gtk2 themes you have installed the more variation in gdm themes you can have as well
[06:10] <dnivra> coz_: yeah gdm; didn't know the term. can't install them any more? great!
[06:10] <itsnotstalking> danny, do you reall y want that freaky shit show up up in there?
[06:10] <coz_> dnivra,   ok  lets test it first   ...open a terminal
[06:10] <kmyst> xiong: np, haven't upgraded past intrepid myself due to having ati vid card and losing advanced video capabilty...or so i've read
[06:11] <danny> Yes, I really do! And I forgot to mention that all of my browsing is showing up there but not my searches.
[06:11] <dnivra> coz_: yeah I'm in a terminal. what should I do?
[06:11] <coz_> dnivra,  then copy and paste t his next command by highlighting it here and simply middle clicking inside the terminal window     gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties
[06:12] <sunil2> while opening word processor i'm getting "The application cannot be started.
[06:12] <sunil2> OpenOffice.org user installation could not be completed due to insufficient free disk space. Please free more disc space at the following location and restart OpenOffice.org:  /home/sunil/.openoffice.org/3"
[06:12] <coz_> dnivra,  what will open is the gnome control center and you choose one of the gtk2 themes   then close out of that and restart x or log out and back on  I think the log off should do it
[06:12] <sunil2> how to solve this problem?
[06:12] <lstarnes> sunil2: you're probably out of disk space
[06:12] <dnivra> coz_,  be right back.
[06:12] <xiong> kmyst, Now I'm trying to remember why I fooled with a working system.
[06:12] <coz_> dnivra,  ok
[06:13] <shawn_> Happy new years to those that it applies to!
[06:13] <kmyst> xiong: i know the feeling
[06:13] <sunil2> then how to proceed now????
[06:13] <ljamisonii> sunil2: it's quite simple...free up some space at the given location.
[06:13] <lstarnes> sunil2: get some more disk space
[06:13] <lstarnes> sunil2: try opening a terminal and typing df -h
[06:14] <coz_> dnivra,  so?
[06:14] <dnivra> coz_: the login screen was the same.
[06:14] <joshua__> Sorry to bother everyone, but could someone help me with doing this?
[06:14] <dnivra> coz_: what was supposed to happen?
[06:14] <joshua__> http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.24.8.html
[06:14] <coz_> dnivra,  ok lets be sure you went to the right place and chose the correct thing
[06:14] <joshua__> I need to install the Linux driver forRadeon Mobility X1600
[06:14] <coz_> dnivra,  open system/preferences/appearance
[06:14] <joshua__> *ATI Radeon Mobility X1600
[06:15] <lstarnes> !radeon | joshua__
[06:15] <lstarnes> joshua__: have you tried using ubuntu's official packages for the drivers?
[06:15] <coz_> dnivra,  when that opens click the "Customize" button  then the "Controls"  tab
[06:15] <sepehr> joshua__: also note that the fglrx drivers wont work on karmic
[06:15] <coz_> dnivra,  that is where you make the change however  it cant be done until you use that command to opne the appearance properties
[06:16] <dnivra> coz_ you want a screen shot? i get a window with the old theme selected.
[06:16] <joshua__> I tried, but apparently the default gpu driver ubuntu provides doesn't support my GFX card.
[06:16] <coz_> dnivra,  ok did you follow those last directions?
[06:16] <coz_> dnivra, let me show you hold on
[06:16] <dnivra> coz_: sure thing. they made no sense:).
[06:16] <sepehr> joshua__: what version of ubuntu r u running?
[06:16] <dnivra> coz_, were you referring to the earlier command you gave?
[06:17] <wowoto> ..
[06:17] <coz_> dnivra,  yes hold on
[06:17] <dnivra> coz_, sure thing
[06:17] <joshua__> Latest one.
[06:17] <coz_> dnivra,   ok take a look at this   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshot1.png
[06:18] <fiber> hello... i just transfered my ubuntu install to another harddrive but now when i boot it says "grub harddisk failure".  What i did (in order) was a) use cpio to make a direct copy of hd a to hd b b) installed grub on the other hd by doing "grub-install /dev/sdb" c) changed the uuid's in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst.  did i miss anything?  any ideas?
[06:18] <itsnotstalking> does anyone who uses firefox notice it dies for a few minutes sometimes, with no explanation
[06:18] <itsnotstalking> ?
[06:18] <itsnotstalking> i shoud just switch browsers
[06:19] <sepehr> joshua__: well ur out of luck since ati doesnt support the latest verion of xorg that ships with 9.10 so ur gona have to use the opensource drivers (they are actually better in every way except 3D)
[06:19] <coz_> dnivra,  when you use that dbus command I gave earlier it will also open the  appearnace properties as root....then you click the  "Customize" button  and under the "Controls" tab  just choose one of the gtk2 themes you want as your login screen colours
[06:19] <joshua__> Hrm... Where would I find the open source driver?
[06:19] <dnivra> coz_, alright. going to do it, logout and log back in. hold on ok.
[06:19] <coz_> dnivra,   as you see on my screenshot
[06:19] <dnivra> coz_: crystal clear. let me try.
[06:19] <coz_> dnivra,   I chose   balanzan as the gtk2 theme and again with that command the balanzan theme again
[06:20] <sepehr> joshua__: so if ur planing on same kind of gaming performance as with ati drivers well u could use an older version i guess however u still get some 3d (things like compiz should still work fine)
[06:20] <kmyst> fiber: unique approach, but why not just dd the drive? i haven't tried it precisely your way but it'd "seem" that you did what i would have done...harddisk failure is all it says?
[06:20] <dnivra> coz_: you changed the theme as root and also as the normal user?
[06:20] <xiong> kmyst, The real name of the thing *may* be 'indicator-applet-session'.
[06:20] <joshua__> I'm not planning on doing massive gaming, but one of the java games I play crashes because there is no driver for the GPU.
[06:21] <shawn146> hello
[06:21] <coz_> dnivra,   well choose as user the theme you want for your system  but
[06:21] <sepehr> joshua__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver the how to is pretty detailed just entering those lines into terminal should do it
[06:21] <joshua__> I just need any driver that woiuld work with it.
[06:21] <kmyst> xiong: hey good to know if i ever upgrade! i use that applet like crazy
[06:21] <shawn146> i am havign some trouble with ubuntu
[06:21] <fiber> kmyst: i didn't dd because the drives are different (one is 300GB the other is 1.5TB)... and all it says it HD failure right before getting to the menu, nothing else
[06:21] <dnivra> coz_, just thought I should tell you that the theme is what I chose earlier when I ran the command you gave me.
[06:21] <coz_> dnivra,  with that dbus command  choose the theme you want as log in screen
[06:21] <xiong> kmyst, I have yet to restore it to panel. 'man' doesn't work.
[06:21] <joshua__> So I just run all that stuff?
[06:21] <coz_> dnivra,  it should work well but I will try it again when you try once more and it doesn work
[06:21] <kmyst> fiber: yeah but you could dd then expand the partition to take up the extra space
[06:21] <sunil2> the out put of "df -h"  is
[06:21] <sunil2> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

[06:21] <dnivra> coz_, yeah with the dbus command you gave me, the theme is another one - the one I chose before logout. I will do it once more sure.
[06:22] <coz_> dnivra,  then restart x
[06:22] <dnivra> coz_, be right back.
[06:22] <kmyst> fiber: tis what i did with my 160 to 500gb drive in the laptop
[06:22] <fiber> kmyst: i had thought about that... but in the end it's just as far out there as my approach! the UUID's would have had to be modified anyways right?
[06:22] <shawn146> i am having problems with Xv under Karmic and i have an i915 as my gpu
[06:22] <squidly> happy new year
[06:23] <kmyst> xiong: huh...but that's what it's called now?
[06:23] <kmyst> fiber: actually come to thnk of it i didn't mod my uuid's
[06:23] <shawn146> ?
[06:23] <shawn146> can anybody help me?
[06:23] <mbb> looking for suggestions for a USB headset that will work, running Hardy.
[06:23] <joshua__> sepehr: if I setup SSH access, would you be able to do it for me?
[06:23] <joshua__> I'm not too good with this stuff.
[06:23] <sunil2> my paste bin url is "http://paste.ubuntu.com/349823/"
[06:23] <wowoto> fiber: use /dev/sdaX  instead of uuid
[06:24] <sunil2> now tell me how to free up my disc space
[06:24] <dnivra> coz_, yeah it did change. but what if I want it to be like the ones i downloaded. think I should just install them as if they were normal themes and not login screen themes?
[06:24] <fiber> kmyst: strange... i was under the impression that UUID depended on the actual HD not the any modifiable data
[06:24] <kmyst> fiber: try specifying the /dev instead of using uuid's
[06:24] <shawn146> hello?
[06:24] <fiber> wowoto: kmyst: where would you recommend I do this?
[06:24] <coz_> dnivra,  then you have to NOT download the  gdm themes but instead a new  gtk2 theme
[06:24] <ocTobafust> #msg
[06:24] <xiong> kmyst, Now I think I was wrong, sorry. I may be chasing a dead end.
[06:24] <wowoto> sunil2: 1 reinstall  2 mount a file to enlarge it
[06:25] <wowoto> fiber: maybe in  :   /etc/fstab
[06:25] <shawn146> hello?
[06:25] <coz_> dnivra,  customization has been severly  cut down with this new approach
[06:25] <coz_> shawn146,   are you trying to play videos?
[06:25] <fiber> wowoto: nah, it's not getting that far
[06:25] <kmyst> fiber: iirc i just went from a gutsy install, did the dd/resize then upgraded to hardy then intrepid and that was it
[06:25] <shawn146> yes coz_
[06:25] <coz_> shawn146,  which player are you using?
[06:25] <dnivra> coz_, let me try one more of those so called "gdm" themes.
[06:25] <fiber> kmyst: i just may do that... luckily i still have the original
[06:25] <shawn146> Totem
[06:25] <wowoto> fiber: o ,sorry..
[06:26] <coz_> dnivra,   no no no  no gdm themes will work anymore
[06:26] <shawn_> I have two SATA hard drives plugged into an old MSI that has both IDE and SATA ports and it used to always ruN IDE but now I just plugged in two SATA drives but Ubuntu install CDs are not seeing them
[06:26] <emanux> Happy New Year to everyone :)
[06:26] <ocTobafust> --help
[06:26] <fiber> wowoto: no worries, thanks trying though
[06:26] <coz_> dnivra,  ONLY  gtk2 themes
[06:26] <kmyst> fiber: in the fstab and most likely grub's menu.lst
[06:26] <emanux> has anyone try google chrome?
[06:26] <shawn_> emanux, You too
[06:26] <dnivra> coz_, so is it possible to install the gdm themes as gtk2 themes? some workaround?
[06:26] <kmyst> xiong: well if you figure it out let me know
[06:26] <coz_> emanux,  I use chromium here
[06:26] <shawn146> coz?
[06:27] <dnivra> coz_, I'll check it out and see if it's possible to pass of a gdm as a gtk2.
[06:27] <fiber> kmyst: ok, i may have found some other clue... when trying to grub-install it again i get "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[06:27] <coz_> dnivra,  no not that I am aware of ...as I said customizatioin is severly limited on this new version
[06:27] <emanux> coz_: how was it?
[06:27] <xiong> kmyst, I'm thinking that a LTS is scheduled for April.
[06:27] <coz_> emanux,  its fast of course but I found a bug ..at least on this system..where full screen flash will not go fullscreen
[06:27] <kmyst> fiber: good clue
[06:27] <coz_> emanux,  but flash is working with it much much better than on firefox
[06:28] <dnivra> coz_, wish I'd stuck with Jaunty. First dsl didn't work and now customisation. just great.
[06:28] <xiong> kmyst, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/universe-bugs/2009-July/107765.html
[06:28] <coz_> dnivra,  yeah this new approach is very irritating to say the least but I dont think it is going to go back
[06:28] <shawn146> testing
[06:28] <kmyst> xiong: well currently i'm out of luck with video if i upgrade again so i'm holding out trying to make something work on my spare drive before i commit full time
[06:28] <dnivra> coz_, yeah the gdm ones don't work. Damn the look so cool. wish they worked worked.
[06:28] <emanux> coz_, ic...it is not available in ubuntu repo right?
[06:28] <shawn146> can anyone hear me?
[06:28] <coz_> emanux,  hold on I think I have the  dep link
[06:29] <dnivra> coz_, no no no! man this is so irritating. Ubuntu's becoming restrictive like win is now.
[06:29] <knuck887> ? f-spot crashes on start up. any suggestions on how to fix it
[06:29] <shawn146> ...
[06:29] <coz_> emanux,    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main    and   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
[06:29] <dnivra> coz_, but yeah well it's still can do stuff win can't. but they're chopping everything down.
[06:30] <shawn146> -e
[06:30] <kmyst> fiber: did you cpio /boot when you did all that?
[06:30] <coz_> dnivra,  well I believe there were valid reasons this occurred  however irritiating it is :)
[06:30] <emanux> coz_ , thanks...i will give it a shot
[06:30] <shawn146> can anybody help me with an Xv issue with karmi
[06:30] <shawn146> *karmic
[06:31] <fiber> kmyst: yessir.... and stage1 is safe and in its correct place (/boot/grub/stage1)
[06:31] <dnivra> coz_, I guess so; people who make Ubuntu what it is; put a lot of thought. Gotta hand it to team Ubuntu.
[06:31] <coz_> shawn146,  you are trying to play videos correct?   which player are you using ?   totem.,.. mplayer...vlc?
[06:31] <kmyst> fiber: out of curiousity what options did you feed cpio?
[06:31] <shawn146> yes i said totem
[06:32] <morphias> dnivra, you got to remember, that canocial tries to cater ubuntu to be useable by people "who just want their computer to work".  somtimes they restrict things that they may perceive "unstable" :-P
[06:32]  * morphias wishes he could spell
[06:33] <silv3r_m00n> is there any software using which I can use my ftp server as a online storage across computers.....similar to dropbox ?
[06:33] <dnivra> morphias: which of course is a large section of the people who want their computer to do so. Too few would like to crash their computers like we do right?
[06:34] <shawn146> sorry coz_ i accidentally closed the terminal
[06:34] <shawn146> i am a noob to ubuntu
[06:34] <wowoto> silv3r_m00n: can "vsftpd" do ?
[06:34] <coz_> shawn146,  no problem
[06:34] <silv3r_m00n> that's a ftp server I guess
[06:35] <raymond> Hi everyone and Happy New Year. I am unable to get my networking working between my home computers. I can "see" the other computers an the hub/modem (Netgear DG834GUv5 - Runs as samba server) on the network via  Places>network but get an "unable to receive share list" error. I have installed Samba and also smb4k. I can also see the computers with that (And have set up (tried to) samba drives...
[06:35] <shawn146> and i need to get this movie running before its too late tonight
[06:35] <raymond> ...which I can see, but I get an error 13 (Permission denied). These drives are NTFS (I've migrated from an XP Pro system)
[06:35] <silv3r_m00n> I need a tool which can turn my ftp space into a hardrive.....so that when someone else puts files there they get syncronised to a local folder automatically
[06:35] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, rsync
[06:35] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, or symlinks, I'm not sure which might work better
[06:35] <fiber> kmyst: i cannot find it... i found the exact command online on some blog
[06:35] <coz_> shawn146,  ok did you install   ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[06:35] <shawn146> no wats that
[06:36] <morphias> dnivra, well i hardly know anything about computers other than what i read in readmes' and im sorry you experience lockups, but i haven't.
[06:36] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Are you looking for it to get syncronized automatically everytime a file is added?
[06:36] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: exactly
[06:36] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, symlinks
[06:36] <silv3r_m00n> something that a service called dropbox does
[06:36] <brianherman> ldap?
[06:36] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I am vaguely familiar with dropbox.  Do you know what a symlink is?
[06:37] <kmyst> fiber: hmm well i suppose since the data is there the stumble point was installing grub as you said right?
[06:37] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: no I don't
[06:37] <fiber> kmyst: correct
[06:37] <dnivra> coz_, or anyone who does know; how do I revert to the old login screen?
[06:37] <sepehr> um im using Quassel IRC and just accidentally turned off the menu bar...how do i get it back
[06:37] <silv3r_m00n> brianherman: ldap
[06:37] <kmyst> fiber: what was the error?
[06:37] <silv3r_m00n> brianherman: has it a gui ?
[06:37] <coz_> dnivra,  same way just choose the  original gtk2 theme
[06:37] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Alright, let me get things straight first so I can be of more help.  You have an FTP server running on ubuntu right?  And that server has some folder.  Inside that folders are all the things shared correct?
[06:37] <Psinetic> ubuntu 9.10 64bit, how do i get a list of all the software i've installed?
[06:38] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: exactly
[06:38] <kmyst> Psinetic: like just the packages installed?
[06:38] <dnivra> coz_, yeah I know that; but any idea what is the default gtk2 theme?
[06:38] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, You have another folder that you want basically to be an exact copy of the ftp folder?
[06:38] <Psinetic> kmyst, i'm about to reinstall windows on here and use ubuntu on a VM and need to get a list of all the software i've installed so i can reinstall it later
[06:38] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: exactly
[06:38] <coz_> dnivra,    HumanLogin
[06:39] <dnivra> coz_, thanks.
[06:39] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, What is the name of the ftp folder and the other folder?
[06:39] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: and this folder must be syncronised across multiple computers
[06:39] <morphias> Psinetic, you can click APPLICATIONS -> UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER and after that loads use the drop box to "Installed packages"
[06:39] <RichardH> sliv3r_m00n rsync sound like what you need
[06:39] <coz_> dnivra,  no problem
[06:39] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: on server its pfiles and on local system it cud be a folder in the home of a user
[06:39] <slinkeey> Just  stopped in to see how many people were not partying
[06:39] <slinkeey> hehee
[06:39] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, pause, the folders are on two different computers?
[06:39] <RichardH> well, there may be a problem if you sync to multiple computers
[06:39] <iOmlette> Everyone? :P
[06:40] <slinkeey> hehehe
[06:40] <kmyst> Psinetic: sudo dpkg --getselections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | awk '{print $1}' > package_list should dump out everything into the file package_list and you could be able to cat package_list | xargs sudo apt-get install to rebuild the system
[06:40] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: the ftp is on my webhost .... and a folder on my pc , another pc , and another pc etc
[06:40] <ardchoille> Psinetic: dpkg --get-selections > /path/selectionfile   #This gets a list of all packages installed
[06:40] <dnivra> slinkeey: guess some have crossed over already to 2010 long ago. I did 12 hours ago.
[06:40] <kmyst> Psinetic: that's how i'd do it
[06:40] <ardchoille> Psinetic:  sudo dpkg --set-selections < /path/selectionfile && apt-get dselect-upgrade   (This installs packages from an exported list
[06:41] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Is this webhost a personal computer in your home?  All the pc's in question are ubuntu?
[06:41] <slinkeey> trueture
[06:41] <kmyst> Psinetic: i typo'd that's --get-selections not --getselections
[06:41] <slinkeey> well later all
[06:41] <Psinetic> uh, so which one do i do? :S
[06:41] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: webhost is on a web server.... and pcs are mix of windows and ubuntu
[06:41] <ardchoille> Psinetic: Read the end comments in my replies
[06:41] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, The webhost is some remote server?  You have what kind of access to it?  Only ftp ?
[06:42] <silv3r_m00n> yah remote server..... I have the cpanel of it , ftp of it etc
[06:42] <Psinetic> ardchoille, how do i know where /path/selectionfile is?
[06:42] <ardchoille> Psinetic: you set that to whatever you want
[06:42] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, That is a toughie, so you want to sync a local folder with the ftp folder.  Is that right?
[06:42] <ardchoille> Psinetic: it just dumps a list to that file
[06:42] <Psinetic> ah ok
[06:42] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: exactly
[06:42] <Psinetic> thanks ardchoille and kmyst
[06:42] <Psinetic> :)
[06:42] <silv3r_m00n> and it shud be automatic
[06:43] <ardchoille> Psinetic: but you have to use that same file when you install later
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> may be a service needs to run on all computers to check for new files every now and he
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> then*
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> I just need a clone of dropbox ...using my own ftp space
[06:43] <sepehr> would any1 know how to get back the menu bar on kde apps after u accidentally hide it?
[06:43] <burzki> silv3r_m00n, no expert here, but could you set it up as couchdb?
[06:43] <dnivra> ardchoille: about that command; when I do it there are a few labelled "deinstall". will there be any consequences of those when I do reinstall the packages?
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> couchdb  ?
[06:44] <emanux> coz_, i just installed chromium and fire up youtube
[06:44] <ardchoille> dnivra: I've never had any problems with that command
[06:44] <emanux> when i hit full screen, it goes full screen
[06:44] <fiber> kmyst: ok, i'm gonna restart and test something.... brb
[06:44] <burzki> silv3r_m00n, couch database is what the ubuntuOne cload platform is based on, platform neutral
[06:44] <dnivra> ardchoille: alright; just clearing a doubt I had that's all. thanks.
[06:44] <kmyst> fiber: k good luck
[06:44] <coz_> emanux,  cool
[06:45] <emanux> yeah really cool, thanks
[06:45] <burzki> *cloud
[06:45] <ardchoille> dnivra: It should be ok, I got that command on the advice of veteran linux users
[06:45] <edbian> silv3r_m00n,  I am not aware of couchdb.  It is tough to get things to automatically sync without more access to the ftp server.  You could write a cron job that runs a script every hour or something.  Then the script could check the ftp server and sync things for you on your network. but instant updates is hard without access to the server.
[06:46] <dnivra> ardchoille: oh cool! I was told to use the one I said from this very channel. so was wondering if there's any difference between the two.
[06:46] <silv3r_m00n> there is access to server .... ??
[06:46] <ardchoille> dnivra: What was yours again?
[06:46] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Can you write a script to run on the server?  What OS is the server running?
[06:46] <silv3r_m00n> centos
[06:46] <silv3r_m00n> I can run cronjob on server
[06:46] <burzki> silv3r_m00n, http://couchdb.apache.org/
[06:47] <silv3r_m00n> I don't think the server needs anything.... there needs to be a local utility on all pcs
[06:47] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n what edbian is saying is that you will probably need root access to install or configure stuff
[06:47] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: on server or on local computers ?
[06:47] <silv3r_m00n> on local computers I have root on all
[06:47] <dnivra> ardchoille: sorry connection started lagging severely. it's "sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall:
[06:48] <silv3r_m00n> and server is a remote ftp
[06:48] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I'm reading and thinking about how to do this
[06:48] <Psinetic> ardchoille, it keeps telling me it's a directory, what is the file extention i should use when exporting?
[06:48] <ardchoille> dnivra: hmm.. never seen or heard that one
[06:48] <alkisg> Xorg.conf isn't used/needed by default, so what's a good way to select a certain resolution per machine (not per user)? I've put an `xrandr` call to /etc/gdm/Init/Default and that works for me, but isn't there any better way?
[06:48] <ardchoille> Psinetic: you can use .txt
[06:48] <silv3r_m00n> I thot there must be some tools for this already on linux
[06:48] <Psinetic> k thanks
[06:48] <dnivra> ardchoille, same as yours except that the entries labelled "deinstall" aren't selected.
[06:49] <sabgenton> can i install ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso to usb?
[06:49] <sabgenton> image / whateverf
[06:49] <sabgenton> -f
[06:49] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, server.  if you have something on each computer, all you may be able to do is run a program to connect to the server using ftp and then download the files.  The problem is when the same file gets edited on more than one computer.  You will not be able to merge the change data
[06:49] <dnivra> ardchoille, if you've uninstalled a lot of apps, then try the command out and diff it with "sudo dpkg --get-selections"
[06:49] <c3101> !usb-creator-gtk @sabgenton
[06:49] <silv3r_m00n> merging is not necessary.......a file may be locked or overwritten....thats totally fine
[06:50] <RichardH> the issue is that the server only gives you ftp access (port 21).  So, your solution isn't to sync but to ftp files back and forth.
[06:50] <silv3r_m00n> neither wud there be any online editing as such
[06:50] <sabgenton> c3101: i am using that on windows
[06:50] <silv3r_m00n> yah
[06:50] <sabgenton> and it says md5sum fail
[06:50] <ardchoille> dnivra: Ah, ok
[06:50] <c3101> sabgenton, then your download of the iso was not succesfull
[06:50] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, RichardH The tough part is having the computer re-sync everytime the ftp folder is modified.
[06:50] <RichardH> I haven't seen any ftp software that will get changed files and then upload changes
[06:51] <silv3r_m00n> the thing is , every employee wud be given a folder and he must put all code and updates in his folder so that the box can view
[06:51] <RichardH> you will either get all the files or upload all files
[06:51] <silv3r_m00n> boss*
[06:51] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, You could very easily write a script that automatically mounts the ftp server, copies everything to a local folder, and unmounts and run it via 1 terminal command.
[06:51] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: and run that again and again ?
[06:51] <RichardH> is this code going to "run" on the server or is it only for sharing?
[06:51] <alkisg> rsync also works with tftp
[06:51] <alkisg> *ftp
[06:52] <silv3r_m00n> not on the server
[06:52] <Xfact> having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/
[06:52] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: I need a gui too
[06:52] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I'm assuming that the entire reason for syncing the files locally is so that you can work offline.  If there is no need to unmount the ftp server then there is no need to copy everything locally.
[06:52] <Xfact> having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/
[06:52] <RichardH> maybe you can see if your host can provide webdav.  maybe this would help
[06:52] <ardchoille> !patience | Xfact
[06:52] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, rsync will probably be used.
[06:53] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Simply have the people edit the files live on the ftp server...
[06:53] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: copying locally wud be really helpful if it wrks automatically in the background
[06:53] <sabgenton> c3101 no I check it against the digest file
[06:53] <silv3r_m00n> live editing not needed ....
[06:53] <Xfact> Ok oK I haven't felt ignored and repeated my question quickly...ddh! whats wrong?
[06:53] <sabgenton> where can I download the latest usb creater exe
[06:54] <RichardH> Maybe you can use one of the many web based collaboration software that you might be able to install on the server.  This will also afford you the benefit of revisions
[06:54] <silv3r_m00n> they key thing is remote-to-local synchronisation shud be automatic
[06:54] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, So I'm an employee.  I log into my linux computer and then I open my local file with all of the files from the ftp server in it.  I make changes and changes all day.  Add files delete them edit them whatever.  Then at the end of the day I copy them all to the ftp server again?
[06:54] <sabgenton> I got the one i have off the ubuntu cd
[06:54] <sabgenton> desktop cd
[06:54] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: otherwise dropbox is the thing that I need
[06:55] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: yah
[06:55] <Xfact> actually I am in big problem...new in linux and I have no sound :(
[06:55] <sabgenton> c3101: oh is there a usb cd creator on the server iso?
[06:55] <Xfact> repeat:having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/
[06:55] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, But if more than 1 employee does that then they will be overwriting each others changes when they write back to the ftp server.  Unless they each have some small portion or something...
[06:55] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: and again .... this particular local folder has special powers....putting anything inside it automatically synchronises it with ftp serve
[06:56] <dnivra> !sound | Xfact
[06:56] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: that's not an issue
[06:56] <dnivra> Xfact: read that in the mean time:).
[06:56] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, They will all be logged into the ftp server this entire time?
[06:56] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I guess so
[06:56] <silv3r_m00n> a service in that taskbar
[06:56] <sabgenton> c3101: im using usb cd creator from the desktop cd to test the server iso
[06:56] <sabgenton> is that ok?
[06:56] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, I meant software that you can download and install on the server.  Not a service like dropbox.  But in this case, dropbox would probably be the easiest
[06:56] <sabgenton> to install the server iso i mean
[06:56] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Are you familiar with "mounting"
[06:57] <edbian> ?
[06:57] <Xfact> I have read everything...but my problem is different....so I added this paste bin note to show you guys....
[06:57] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: yes .. ?
[06:57] <crash2108> Good year , good fellows.  I'm following http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html
[06:57] <silv3r_m00n> use fuse ?
[06:57] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I'm not very good with ftp servers but can't you mount the ftp server locally on each machine?
[06:58] <crash2108> I got to restarting 'hal' and it tells me to use to 'service' command instead.  I do, but nothing seems to happen.
[06:58] <joljam> I have a desktop connected to a wireless router thru an ethernet cable... I also have a wireless printer...how can I print wirelessly
[06:58] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Do you understand what I'm saying?
[06:58] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, fuse would require you to use smb which you do not have access to on the server.
[06:58] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: yes... I can ... but that has a little issue ......trying to edit over there...every time ctrl-s is pressed there will be a 1-5 sec delay
[06:59] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: in dropbox what happens...everything appears local....and seamlessly in the background the online storage gets updated gradually
[06:59] <RichardH> edbian, you can't mount because silv3r_m00n is using a server at a hosting company so only has ftp access not smb
[06:59] <alkisg> RichardH: he should be able to use gvfs to mount it
[06:59] <edbian> RichardH, So there's two issues
[07:00] <edbian> alkisg, Are you sure...  He only has ftp access.  I think you MUST use a web browser.  Am I wrong?
[07:00] <alkisg> edbian: gvfs is when you try to visit an ftp site with nautilus
[07:00] <RichardH> edbian, alkisg says he should be able to use gvfs but I'm not familiar using this to mount an ftp folder.
[07:00] <alkisg> You see everything "locally" under ~/.gvfs
[07:00] <silv3r_m00n> mounting a ftp server as a drive and working in it works....but it still appears remote............the thing shud be that everything appears local and in the background remote synchronisation "keeps" working
[07:01] <silv3r_m00n> all day
[07:01] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, If you've got it mounted I suggest you make a hard symlink
[07:01] <crash2108> My battery is really about to die.  Does anyone have any insight into this?  Usuually it's some small stupid thing.
[07:01] <silv3r_m00n> what is a hard symlink ?
[07:01] <rkj> is there a variant of the "ls" command that will just list the subdirectories in the current directory?
[07:01] <meway> ubuntu just logged me out for no reason any clue why I was in the middle of an important graphics developing...?
[07:01] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, A soft symlink is basically a shortcut in windows.  I will explain how to make them.
[07:01] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: I can see locally ?
[07:01] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I soft symlink is only a pointer
[07:02] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, the problem is that you need a program monitoring the shared folder constantly so this program/script knows when a file has been changed or added
[07:02] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, a hard symlink is an exact copy.  It is like syncronizing two files or folders
[07:02] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: hmmm
[07:02] <edbian> RichardH, The hard symlink should do what he wants.
[07:02] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: there's no caching, so it's like you said, 3-5 secs delay every time you save somthing
[07:02] <RichardH> this may work on one machine but it will probably require a customized application for it to work the way you want
[07:02] <silv3r_m00n> what next ?
[07:03] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: will the hard symlink still give the effect of remote saving ?
[07:03] <rkj> bizarrely, the command "ls -d" hust lists a single directory "." - not too useful.
[07:03] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: I don't understand why rsync isn't what you want.
[07:03] <louis__> 6th gen ipod with ubuntu anyone?
[07:03] <louis__> ipod classic
[07:03] <RichardH> edbian, I think he's trying to avoid the delay he is going to experience.  Some software (depending on what he is using) will not handle this properly and may crash or just have a really annoying freeze while it's saving.
[07:03] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Just try this "ln /path/to/ftp/ /path/to/local/folder"
[07:03] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: rsync "read" on login, and rsync "write" before logout.
[07:04] <rkj> louis_ I use gtkpod and it is great, not sure what gen my ipod is though.
[07:04] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: let me try
[07:04] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, what alkisg said also seems to solve the issue (although it isn't exactly what you wanted)
[07:05] <louis__> rkj: i just bought the 160 GB classic under the impression that it would work cuz of something i read but its giving me troubles
[07:05] <alkisg> If you want to rsync periodically, you can also do that with a script... "rsync, sleep, rsync etc"
[07:05] <silv3r_m00n> ln: accessing `ftp://www.site.com': No such file or directory
[07:05] <skyllo> editable file in the conky this line is not showing the host name, nothing appears there only Hostname: here and nothing appears. Anybody want to take a look at the source of conky?
[07:05] <skyllo> Hostname: $alignr$nodename

[07:05] <skyllo> Uptime: $alignr$uptime
[07:05] <FloodBot1> skyllo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:05] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I got that when I entered that command
[07:05] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Do you not have the ftp server mounted?  I thought you did?
[07:05] <silv3r_m00n> no
[07:05] <silv3r_m00n> how to mount ?
[07:06] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, What is it that gives the 3-5 second delay?
[07:06] <silv3r_m00n> Ctrl-S
[07:06] <silv3r_m00n> how to mount the ftp server ?
[07:06] <alkisg> Question: Xorg.conf isn't used/needed by default, so what's a good way to select a certain resolution per machine (not per user)? I've put an `xrandr` call to /etc/gdm/Init/Default and that works for me, but isn't there any better way?
[07:06] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I don't really know how.  Never done it.  alkisg RichardH How do you mount an ftp server?
[07:07] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: how to mount a ftp server ?
[07:07] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, How are you accessing your ftp server right now?
[07:07] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, browser?
[07:07] <silv3r_m00n> using a bookmark in konqueror
[07:07] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Oh this is on KDE! :)
[07:08] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Well I got good news.  When you connect using that bookmark you are mounting :)
[07:08] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Connect now using the bookmark
[07:08] <silv3r_m00n> done
[07:08] <RichardH> I've never mounted an ftp server.  I didn't think you could but alkisg said you could
[07:08] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Now figure out where you are in the filesystem
[07:08] <alkisg> RichardH: I think gvfs is gnome-specific.
[07:08] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Can you go up one level?
[07:08] <edbian> alkisg, I think so too but KDE should have an equivalent
[07:09] <edbian> alkisg, In any case sounds like he's got it mounted
[07:09] <RichardH> alkisg it is.
[07:09] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I can see what I see daily ....the public_html , www, public_ftp folders
[07:09] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, The ftp server's files appear in a konqueror folder right?
[07:09] <Guest39212> Hi All,
[07:09] <silv3r_m00n> yah
[07:09] <dnivra> coz_, small problem. sorry to bother you. the login screen's not changing back. I did it four times; once even with a restart. any ideas?
[07:09] <Guest39212> Do anyone know ?
[07:09] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, so what path are you at?
[07:09] <Guest39212> if we can do virtualization using VMWARE  on UBUNTU ?
[07:09] <silv3r_m00n> ftp://www.site.com/
[07:09] <coz_> dnivra,  mmm   I will have to test this later then    ...did you restart x?
[07:09] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, open another konqueror window and go to /media
[07:10] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Whats in /media??
[07:10] <silv3r_m00n> only cdroms
[07:10] <silv3r_m00n> and floppies
[07:10] <dnivra> coz_, yeah killed Xorg and restarted the computer too
[07:10] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, ... not good.  Maybe it isn't mounted :/
[07:10] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, /mnt ??
[07:10] <silv3r_m00n> yes it isn't
[07:10] <dnivra> coz_, I ran the command that you gave me and it's all set there; it's "Human Clearlooks" there but that's not what it shows.
[07:10] <coz_> dnivra,  mmm that's not right .... I will test this later.... I cant do it right now :(
[07:11] <silv3r_m00n> nothing in there
[07:11] <dnivra> coz_, sure no problem. just tell me which app I have to reinstall or something like that to change it now.
[07:11] <ecart> .
[07:11] <silv3r_m00n> I think I need curlftpfs
[07:11] <coz_> dnivra,   reinstall?   did you uninstall something?
[07:11] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Well you do have another option.  Learn how to use rsync and simply rsync twice a day.  You can even automate it to run as a script at startup and shutdown if you like.  But I don't think there is anyway to automatically push those files
[07:12] <dnivra> coz_, no I didn't. just want to get the old login screen back.
[07:12] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, The curl thing could work.  But I don't think it's going to automate anything for you :/
[07:12] <silv3r_m00n> automatic pushing and pulling is what I need
[07:12] <RichardH> edbian, silv3r_m00n, to my knowledge, konqueror or nautilus won't mount an ftp folder.  I've never seen any evidence of that.  I may be wrong though.
[07:12] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, It is possible that there is a way.  I surely don't know it though :(
[07:12] <silv3r_m00n> for e.g. I put the file in employee1 folder and by the time I reach his room ...the file there on is system
[07:12] <crawler> hi.  my VNC server dies at least 3 or 4 times per day, and i have to restart it (using the command: x11vnc -safer -usepw -forever).  is there a log file or some way to diagnose why this is happening? (i also asked this question in #xubuntu, but this channel seems more alive)
[07:12] <dnivra> coz_, you don't have to sit and figure it out; some configuration file is all that needs to be changed; which should with a reinstall of some app right?
[07:13] <coz_> dnivra,  that should be the one I mentioned  HumanLogin
[07:13] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, You're trying to combine 2 things.  An ftp server (that is remote) and all the functionality of a file server.
[07:13] <coz_> dnivra,  no there is nothing to reinstall   if you use that dbus command and choose HumanLogin it should return to that login screen
[07:14] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: may be yes
[07:14] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Why do you need your files on a remote ftp server over the internet anyway?  It seems to only be a hassle for you
[07:14] <dnivra> coz_, oh BTW I don't have a HumanLogin theme ok. I only have Human and HumanClearlooks. none of which work with the command you gave me.
[07:14] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I haven't yet planned any local backup storage
[07:14] <coz_> dnivra,  was the origianl   a very dark one?
[07:14] <silv3r_m00n> my webhosting ftp with 1 gb space wud be really useful if I can turn it into a dropbox
[07:15] <dnivra> the original login screen was the default one that you get on a fresh karmic install.
[07:15] <coz_> dnivra,   then HumanLogin is is that list  you might have to scroll down to see it
[07:15] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: https://one.ubuntu.com/
[07:15] <zharkie> whats the offtopic ubuntu channel called?
[07:15] <Mutro> I have a question about WireShark, how come when I open it up it shows none of my interfaces?
[07:15] <rww> zharkie: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:15] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: ofcourse
[07:16] <rww> Mutro: because you're not running it with administrative privileges. run `gksudo wireshark` instead.
[07:16] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Well I suggest you set up a file server for your office.  That will handle everybody working all day.  At the end of the night have the file server automatically sync the files to the ftp server.  I don't really see the need for instant backup but that's my opinion.
[07:16] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: it supports syncing...
[07:16] <dnivra> coz_, nope I only have Human and HumanClearlooks.
[07:16] <Mutro> rww, so I always have to run it as root?
[07:16] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Or ubuntu one! :)
[07:16] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, ha ha
[07:16] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n,  curlftpfs may work but not on the windows systems.  One thing you should watch out for is that many hosting companies expressly state in their terms of service that you cannot use your ftp space as a storage medium. (I own and IT consulting company and we deal with hosting companies all the time.)
[07:16] <coz_> dnivra,  then something is messed up for sure    this is ubuntu karmic correct?
[07:16] <rww> Mutro: if you want to capture from interfaces, yes
[07:16] <dnivra> yeah ubuntu karmic 9.10
[07:16] <Mutro> rww, is there a way i can run it under my user and still get the interfaces?
[07:16] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: hmm
[07:17] <silv3r_m00n> ok I mounted ftp using curlftpfs
[07:17] <edbian> RichardH, What the hell else can you use an ftp server for besides file storage??
[07:17] <rww> Mutro: probably, but the supported way of doing it is to run it as root.
[07:17] <silv3r_m00n> looks good but still the "remote" factor
[07:17] <kmyst> anybody use a keyfile to unlock luks encrypted paritions?
[07:17] <Mutro> rww: Ok. I'll try that
[07:17] <coz_> dnivra,  you might have to search  gnome-look.org or one of the ubuntu sites for the HumanLogin gtk2 theme
[07:18] <dnivra> coz_, cool! thanks for all your help!
[07:18] <RichardH> edbian, on a hosting company, to upload your files for your website
[07:18] <silv3r_m00n> I followed the instructions on this page >> http://hartvig.de/2009/howto-mount-a-ftp-drive-in-ubuntu/    and I think adding the mount line somewhere wud do it everytime the pc starts
[07:18] <edbian> RichardH, OIC, I guess....
[07:18] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, /etc/fstab is what mounts filesystems automatically. If you can mount it using the mount command this config file is what you're looking for.
[07:19] <RichardH> edbian, it's a hosting account which means that it's for hosting your website and email only.
[07:19] <silv3r_m00n> no its not mounted using the mount command but the curlftpfs command
[07:19] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, The best guide to anything ever: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[07:19] <edbian> RichardH, I understand
[07:19] <Random832> I get a strange icon with a tooltip referring to http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/
[07:19] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: mounting will *still* give you the same 3-5 secs delay
[07:20] <effendi-> happy new year, people in -07:00
[07:20] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: and Ctrl-s too
[07:20] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, the other issue you may run into is bandwidth.  Even though some hosts give you unlimited bandwidth, it's not really unlimited.  The only way you MAY not have issues is if you have a dedicated server and not a shared server.
[07:20] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: right, that's why I proposed Ubuntu one.
[07:20] <sunil2> when ever i try to open word processor i'm getting message as
[07:20] <sunil2> "The application cannot be started.
[07:20] <sunil2> An internal error occurred"
[07:20] <sunil2> how to solve this problem??
[07:20] <FloodBot1> sunil2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:21] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: I mean that if you mount the folder, and then save a file in that folder with ctrl+s, you'll get the usual 3-5 secs delay. It doesn't matter that you've mounted it...
[07:21] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: yah ..
[07:21] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, I think alkisg is on the right track.  I believe that Ubuntu also has a way for you to create your own cloud that you have have in your garage, house, whatever.
[07:21] <sunil2> please find solution for the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/
[07:21] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone know which channel is for wild life first aid ? Sorry to ask here but there is a little baby bird fall to the ground and injured.I wanted to know whether it's fine to apply human antibiotic cream to the wounds
[07:22] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, In any sane sys admin's mind you would have a file server to handle of your work / file collaboration and you would do 1 backup a day to an offsite location (usually at night).  Doing all of your work on a remote ftp server is wel...
[07:22] <ubuntunewbie> Thank you
[07:22] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: ^^^ what edbian just said.
[07:22] <sunil2> please find solution for the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/
[07:23] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, also, what happens if your internet goes down or somehow your connection is interrupted?  If you have open files, they might be corrupted.
[07:23] <edbian> sunil2, What program?
[07:23] <silv3r_m00n> that too won't be an issue
[07:23] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I think I can write a script .................that will ..........keep an eye on a local folder...........synchronise it with remote every 1 minute........and keep and eye on the remote server ..........and do the same
[07:24] <silv3r_m00n> and let everything go on "locally"
[07:24] <sunil2> did you find the url  http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/
[07:24] <edbian> sunil2, Yes
[07:24] <daedro> i accidentally recursively chmodded my www folder and i assume thats bad, so im trying to get it back to default -rw-x---- or something, and i read thats chmod -R 644 ./, works for 777, but 644 makes all files say "unknown type" and disappear
[07:24] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, A script can def. do that.  It is not the best way to solve the problem though.  I will (against better judgement) answer questions if you had any about writing such a script.
[07:25] <crawler> ubuntunewbie: patch the bird's kernel with the latest module neosporin3.2.4beta
[07:25] <alkisg> daedro: directories need 755, so you need to run 2 `find` commands (find -type d and find -type f -exec chmod...)
[07:25] <sunil2> please tell me the solution for the url  http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/
[07:25] <alkisg> sunil2: please stop it
[07:25] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: yes
[07:25] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, one issue is that you may need root privileges on the server to install and run this script.
[07:26] <edbian> sunil2, My only guess: un-install and re-install the app.  Do you know how to do that?
[07:26] <sunil2> can you tell me?
[07:26] <daedro> alkisg: you the man, thanks ^^
[07:26] <alkisg> daedro: got a script for it if you want
[07:26] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get purge <programName>"
[07:26] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install <programName>"
[07:27] <ubuntunewbie> crawler: i dont have neosporin antibiotic ointment
[07:28] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, here's another solution. do everything locally and maybe have a temporary server locally where a shared folder is mounted on each workstation.  Then have this server use and backup program such as this http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/index.htm  that supports ftp backups upload everything to your server.  But, it's only one way.
[07:28] <sunil2> can you modify "sudo apt-get install <programName>" for "office"
[07:28] <shawncm217> does anyone know how to switch firefox from the ubuntu theme back to the default theme?
[07:28] <edbian> sunil2, :)  "sudo apt-get purge oowriter"
[07:29] <silv3r_m00n> will the backup work automatically ?
[07:29] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install oowriter"
[07:29] <ubuntunewbie> crawler: what else beside  neosporin antibiotic ointment can be apply ?
[07:29] <RichardH> you can set it to backup whenever you want automatically.  Also, this program can back up to multiple locations
[07:29] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[07:30] <edbian> ubuntunewbie, What are you guys talking about??
[07:30] <bazhang> ubuntunewbie, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:30] <RichardH> it can back up to a zip file or it can just copy everything over so you can just connect with konqueror like you do know and download individual files you want to restore
[07:30] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[07:31] <aitor> holaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[07:31] <Mutro> hoi
[07:31] <ubuntunewbie> edbian , bazhang , sorry was asking whether there's a channel for wild life first aid on irc
[07:31] <RichardH> I use this for one of my clients so just loves not having to deal with a proprietary back up format.
[07:31] <aitor> edbian¿?

[07:33] <BlueBoyz> n #ubuntu
[07:34] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: rsync requires a daemon to run on server ?
[07:34] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install oowriter"  :)
[07:34] <silv3r_m00n> is there a utility that can synchronise or merge 2 folders ... 1 ftp and 1 local ?
[07:34] <silv3r_m00n> may be the ftp folder will be mounted before that
[07:34] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Probably rsync
[07:35] <silv3r_m00n> rsync needs a daemon to run on server...cant do that
[07:36] <sunil2> my url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/349847/
[07:36] <aitor> ola como entro en un chat irc- ubuntu-espanish ske tengo el lonux i soi un poco nob en el linux
[07:37] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install ooffice" ?
[07:37] <bazhang> aitor, /join #ubuntu-es
[07:37] <sunil2> my url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/349847/ now tell me how to un-install and re-install my office
[07:37] <edbian> Guys, what is the package name for open office?
[07:37] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: no it doesn't
[07:37] <lstarnes> edbian: openoffice, I think
[07:37] <sunil2> yes the url is for installing office
[07:37] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, I don't think you can use rsync to sync to an ftp server.  rsync is a different protocol and doesn't use the same commands.
[07:38] <RichardH> for ftp, you need to use GET and PUT commands.  rsync doesn't do that
[07:38] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: I will just issue a command sync ftpfolder localfolder
[07:38] <shawn146> coz
[07:38] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install openoffice"
[07:38] <shawn146> coz?
[07:38] <shawn146> dang he left
[07:38] <edbian> shawn146, too bad, he's a smart one ;)
[07:38] <shawn146> lol
[07:38] <shawn146> yea i was just talking to him
[07:39] <D-coy> m4v chupame las bolas, sii??? :$
[07:39] <shawn146> ?
[07:39] <shawn146> english?
[07:39] <D-coy> m4v kiss my balls
[07:39] <lstarnes> !es
[07:39] <D-coy> xD
[07:39] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, what you might not understand is that ftp is a protocol.  it uses certain commands.  It's a way to connect in otherwords.  rsync and ftp are two different protocols.  you don't actuallly have access to a folder.  everything goes through the ftp daemon then that daemon writes to the folder
[07:40] <daedro> is it normal to be unable to chmod a file as root thats under your regular user, and is 777 -rwxrwxrwx, and shows up with ls, command works on other files. just not ones in this specific subdirectory.. subdirectory is chmod 755 drwxr-xr-x
[07:40] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: hmm , fine
[07:40] <daedro> cant make it 644 like the rest
[07:40] <sangho_Geek2> happy new year
[07:40] <ecart> How do I change the hostname of the machine? I tried to edit the file as gedit has more access denied.
[07:40] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, sharing a folder on a local computer and the ftp folder on your server are two completely different things.  It's like someone speaking Russian is trying to talk to somone that speaks Chinese.
[07:41] <sunil2> please find the url  for installing office http://paste.ubuntu.com/349848/
[07:41] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[07:41] <edbian> ecart, You need to be root to edit system config files
[07:41] <edbian> ecart, "gksu gedit /etc/hostname"
[07:41] <RichardH> daedro, how are you trying to change the permission?
[07:42] <edbian> ecart, editing that file will make it change next time you boot.  To make it change instantly "sudo hostname <newHostname>"
[07:42] <daedro> chmod 644 /home/daedro/lib/wordpress/wp-config/daedro.com.php
[07:42] <ecart> ok
[07:42] <ecart> worked
[07:42] <ecart> thanks
[07:42] <shawncm217> does anyone know how to switch firefox from the ubuntu theme back to the default theme?
[07:42] <daedro> i can right click it, and do it manually, and it works. just not via command line
[07:43] <edbian> ecart, no problem :)
[07:43] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: ok , if I make 1 computer a server ......and I have root on all pcs ......what wud be the best way to get the dropbox effect ?
[07:43] <Circs> How do one open a folder as root
[07:43] <dibblego> why can't I read SD cards greater than 2GB?
[07:43] <sunil2> please find the url  for installing office http://paste.ubuntu.com/349848/
[07:43] <silv3r_m00n> means the home of all pcs are synchronised with the server
[07:43] <Circs> Or copy a folder as root
[07:43] <RichardH> daedro, that's strange.  is it owned by your user?  are you doing this as root?
[07:43] <daedro> yup and yup, its strange
[07:44] <edbian> RichardH:  good luck answering that!
[07:44] <khelvan> Hi, I'm trying to use imagemagick to convert a bunch of .jpg files to .png - can someone help me with writing a bash script to do: convert x.jpg x.png (where x is a numerical value)
[07:44] <daedro> i can just do it manually and ignore it, i just wanted to learn what im doing wrong.. not be hand held by the UI
[07:45] <silv3r_m00n> no more ftp restriction in this case.... any daemon can run on the server computer
[07:45] <edbian> sunil2, The issue you're having is very very minor :)  We just can't find the package name.  Try using the add/remove program in the menu.  Do you know what I'm talking about?
[07:46] <sunil2> can you expand further?
[07:46] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, first, you probably can't with the software that normally comes on a typical linux installation.  First, you will need something that continually monitors the folder.  The only way I can think of this even coming close to that is a script that scans the folder every few seconds continually. Keep in mind that dropbox has custom software on the server and on your computer.  it's not just a typical server
[07:46] <edbian> What do they call add/remove now guys?  I'm not on an ubuntu box right now...
[07:47] <ardchoille> edbian: sogtware center
[07:47] <ardchoille> *software
[07:47] <silv3r_m00n> well if there is a software like that I can install it on all pcs...and make 1 pc a server
[07:47] <edbian> sunil2: Look for open office in the software center
[07:47] <edbian> ardchoille, Thanks
[07:47] <ardchoille> yw
[07:48] <RichardH> I've seen software that runs on a windows system that can "sync" but all it does is just run every few minutes.
[07:48] <mister_roboto> dropbox checks with the server every 30 seconds, i think
[07:48] <ardchoille> edbian: iirc, that started with karmic
[07:48] <silv3r_m00n> ya every few minutes also will do
[07:48] <silv3r_m00n> I need that for linux
[07:48] <Riddick> i am using ubuntu as a file server and i am trying to connect from osx.  i can connect to the share fine but not write any files.  any help would be appreciated.
[07:48] <edbian> ardchoille, I actually use debian now :)  I stopped with ubuntu back at version 9.10
[07:48] <sunil2> where can i find software center??
[07:48] <edbian> 8.10*
[07:48] <ardchoille> edbian: 9.10 is the current version
[07:48] <silv3r_m00n> sunil2: where did you find ubuntu ?
[07:49] <edbian> sunil2, In the menus buddy.  You know Applications
[07:49] <goplexian> anyone know if there are any deb's for cabal/bluetile yet?
[07:49] <ardchoille> ah, ok
[07:49] <edbian> sunil2, places, admin
[07:49] <RichardH> I've been looking for something similar and can't find it.  Windows has something built in that does that.  Anyway, in the situation you stated, you can probably use rsync as long as you can mount the shared folder using smb
[07:49] <mister_roboto> silv3r_m00n: using rsync driven by cron works really well for that
[07:49] <mister_roboto> silv3r_m00n: someone else was asking about something similar earlier tonight
[07:49] <silv3r_m00n> mister_roboto: a tutorial or howto ?
[07:49] <mister_roboto> go to the rsync site and they have extensive tutorials and docs
[07:50] <sunil2> how to open software center??
[07:50] <silv3r_m00n> mister_roboto: fine
[07:50] <mister_roboto> silv3r_m00n: http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/
[07:50] <edbian> sunil2, Did you find it in the menus?
[07:50] <silv3r_m00n> sunil2: how did you open this irc channel ?
[07:50] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, actually, if you have the servers locally, you can probably just share a folder using smb.
[07:51] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: yupp and what about the automatic background synchronisation
[07:51] <sunil2> in add/remove under applications . am i correct?
[07:51] <edbian> sunil2, no offense but this is getting ridiculous
[07:51] <mister_roboto> RichardH: i thought he wanted to keep a sync'd copy of their home dirs?
[07:51] <edbian> sunil2, Yes!  That's it you found it! :)
[07:51] <RichardH> you would probably need a cronjob to run every few seconds
[07:51] <edbian> sunil2, add/remove
[07:51] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: let me get some tutorial
[07:51] <Riddick> anyong using NFS?
[07:51] <edbian> Riddick, I'm familiar with it
[07:52] <zcat[1]> RichardH:  cronjobs can'r run more often than per minute?
[07:52] <Riddick> i am setting up my ubuntu box to be an NFS server for my OSX laptop.  i can connect fine, but i can't write any files. i setup it up before to write as a specific user but can't remember what i did nor find my notes anywhere.
[07:52] <dnivra> I've been trying to restore my login screen to the default in karmic after changing it using the command "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties"(which coz_ gave me sometime ago in this channel) and I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/349851/. Because of the I/O error, I'm not able to change my login screen. Which file's or directory's absence is causing the problem?
[07:53] <mister_roboto> silv3r_m00n: one typical problem with people trying to use cron for the first time is relying on some environment to be set up. in your cron, use explicit pathnames for everything
[07:53] <meero> how to create user in chroot?
[07:53] <goplexian> anyone using bluetile here?
[07:54] <edbian> Riddick, Probably has to do with the file permissions.  I've never done with with a mac :( I'm not sure how the hell permissions work with MAC
[07:54] <RichardH> silv3r_moon, here's one issue.  You will either have a shared folder on each workstation that rsync will sync with 1 folder on the server, or you will have one folder on the server that will sync with one folder on each workstation which  means rsync will run multiple times but that will be a problem syncing folders to each workstation.
[07:54] <RichardH> this gets confusing.
[07:54] <Riddick> edbian: its unix.  the thing is my user id and group id are different.  its 501 i tink for ubuntu but 1000 for the mac.  or maybe its 1001.
[07:55] <ultrav1olet> what are flac123 alternatives? This package seems to be removed from repos
[07:55] <mister_roboto> zcat[1]: that's right. minute is the smallest granularity
[07:55] <edbian> Riddick, Make the file permissions of the file XX7 so that anybody can read write and execute anything in the folder
[07:55] <Riddick> even i have the same user on each box its just how it starts the numbering for user and groups
[07:55] <ardchoille> !info flac123
[07:55] <edbian> Riddick, yeah, the numbering is what matters
[07:55] <ardchoille> !find flac
[07:55] <Riddick> edbian: you mean of the shared folder?
[07:55] <RichardH> zcat, sorry about that, yes 1 minute.  thanks for reminding me.
[07:56] <ardchoille> ultrav1olet: ^^'
[07:56] <edbian> Riddick, "sudo chmod 777 /path/to/folder/on/server"
[07:56] <Riddick> yeah  okay
[07:56] <edbian> Riddick, Yeah, the shared folder on the server
[07:56] <edbian> Riddick, Hope it works! :)
[07:56] <meero> how to put user in chroot ?
[07:56] <ardchoille> edbian: does he need that to be recursive?
[07:56] <ultrav1olet> edbian: flac123 is a PLAYER, flac is just decoder/encoder
[07:56] <Riddick> i will figure it out eventually  :)
[07:56] <edbian> ardchoille, I don't think so...
[07:56] <edbian> ultrav1olet, Wrong person
[07:56] <ultrav1olet> I mean I have no desire to unpack flac files then play 'em
[07:57] <ultrav1olet> ardchoille: flac123 is a player, flac is just decoder/encoder
[07:57] <RichardH> daedro, sorry, did you get your question answered?
[07:57] <ardchoille> ultrav1olet: right, I was searching to hopefully assist you with your question
[07:58] <edbian> Riddick, Also, does your exports file have the rw option??
[07:58] <edbian> Riddick, I have to go.  Good luck! :)
[07:58] <edbian> RichardH, Good working with you
[07:59] <RichardH> edbian, same to you.  Happy New Year

[08:02] <dnivra> I've been trying to restore my login screen to the default in karmic after changing it using the command "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties"(which coz_ gave me sometime ago in this channel) and I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/349851/. Because of the I/O error, I'm not able to change my login screen. Which file's or directory's absence is causing the problem?
[08:04] <sunil2> just now i removed all office files using add/remove
[08:04] <xiong> I had 8 [somethings] and now I can't get them. These [somethings] are called different names in different places. They are set in CompizConfig:General Options:Desktop Size:Horizontal Virtual Size and :Vertical Virtual Size. These are not the same things as :Number of Desktops. I seem to have lost control here.
[08:04] <ultrav1olet> does anyone know a simple audio player with minimal dependencies which can play mp3/wav/ogg/flac files?
[08:04] <sunil2> how to re-install my office

[08:09] <skyllo> holloh 9.10 koala
[08:11] <holloh> skyllo: the changes in 9.10 with pulse audio confused me and i went back to 9.04. I'm not the person for that question :-|
[08:11] <skyllo> holloh?
[08:11] <skyllo> ;/
[08:11] <xiong> I can't drag windows from one [virtual desktop? workspace?] to another anymore. The feature just disappeared.
[08:11] <xdrr> Dont mean to interupt but can i ask a quick q?
[08:12] <RichardH> holloh, it's my understanding that most DSL/Cable providers prohibit hosting public websites/services on a standard service.
[08:12] <ae86-drifter> xiong, re enable dektop effects
[08:12]  * xiong looks
[08:12] <ae86-drifter> in eappearance
[08:12] <holloh> xdrr: don't ask to ask a question, just ask it
[08:12] <holloh> RichardH: that's what i thought, but i'm still curious
[08:13] <xdrr> k lol, im currently configuring a bind9 server but every method of config doesnt work for me
[08:13] <xdrr> doesnt want to find hosts in the forward zone after configuring
[08:13] <xdrr> ive got this working before but i cant remember how lol, any ideas?
[08:13] <RichardH> holloh, I don't know if it's true, but I heard that they periodically do scans of their network looking for these kinds of things.  In some areas, port 80 is blocked as is port 25 for SMTP.
[08:14] <ae86-drifter> hey, i have ubuntu 9.10 server edition and all of a sudden i cant ssh into it anymore, so i plugged a screen into it and i just get the login: prompt and the screen flickers on and off repeatedly
[08:14] <xiong> ae86-drifter, Do you mean the 'Visual Effects' tab?
[08:14] <holloh> RichardH: I guess i'll figure it out in a week after i get all set up :)
[08:15] <ae86-drifter> xiong, yeah
[08:15] <RichardH> holloh, I've also heard that if they find you are running a server, they can close your account.
[08:16] <skyllo> holloh, My problem seems to be very simple, because everything is working fine except the transmittance of Eudi that is a little slow. A little more esperiencia solve the problem unfortunately most do not have it; /
[08:16] <RichardH> holloh, in my area, Time Warner also forbids it but no ports are blocked.  I haven't had any problems but only I use it to access stuff while I'm out.
[08:16] <xiong> ae86-drifter, Yes! That is it. What a weird thing.  What does that mean
[08:17] <holloh> RichardH: i plan to set up a name based virtual host serving me files while i'm away, and as for the default host settings, i'll serve up pictures of kittens or something
[08:17] <sunil2> what is the command used to re-install office??????
[08:17] <sunil2>  just now i removed all office files using add/remove. How to re-install my office???
[08:17] <Dezine> I remember past Ubuntu versions had a software manager that let you sort by rating, by popularity, how can I get that in 9.10?
[08:17] <skyllo> holloh how to test the audio drivers??/
[08:17] <xiong> ae86-drifter, Ah yes, but it *doesn't* say that setting to 'None' disables the whole Compiz and that further CompizConfig settings will have no effect.
[08:18] <omar> any one nows how to get adobe fotoshop cs2 full on ubuntu?
[08:18] <RichardH> holloh, good luck
[08:18] <holloh> skyllo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[08:18] <ae86-drifter> omar, i use cs4 fine on mine
[08:19] <skyllo> thanks
[08:19] <xiong> Thank You! ae86-drifter++
[08:19] <omar> u got cs4 full?
[08:19] <RichardH> omar, you might want to look into wine.  photoshop is a windows/mac program and doesn't run natively on linux.
[08:19] <ae86-drifter> omar, yes
[08:19] <ubuntunewbie> hi
[08:19] <omar> i have wine lol
[08:19] <omar> i just need key
[08:20] <ae86-drifter> key?
[08:20] <omar> i got tricks for cs2
[08:20] <ubuntunewbie> usunbut 9.10 have a safely remove usb , and umount .what is the different ?
[08:20] <omar> are the cs4 ones diffrent?
[08:20] <holloh> sunil2: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org
[08:20] <ubuntunewbie> testing with 9.10 have a safely remove usb , and umount .what is the different ?
[08:20] <Dezine> omar, you probably don't want to hear this but have you tried GIMP? As a Windows user I have found GIMP to be a worthy replacement of Photoshop.
[08:20] <skyllo> holloh
[08:20] <skyllo> ok. More how to test the drivers in ubuntu? has some terminal command that does this?
[08:20] <omar> i now
[08:20] <omar> i just wanted to say
[08:20] <RichardH> omar, does that mean that...uuuhhhh...you didn't buy photoshop?
[08:20] <omar> I GOT PHOTOSHOP
[08:20] <FloodBot1> omar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:20] <holloh> skyllo: i don't know
[08:21] <skyllo> ;/
[08:21] <ae86-drifter> Dezine, do you know the name of that gimp mod that makes it look like PS?
[08:21] <omar> no
[08:21] <omar> i didnt buy
[08:21] <Dezine> Hmm, ae86-drifter I don't know unless you mean gimpshop
[08:21] <omar> i just want ps cs2 and i just need a nice key :)
[08:21] <Athar> How can you make the icons for the locations in Dolphin smaller? Apparently, it remains unimpressed when I change the icon/preview size for the "icons" view.
[08:21] <Circs> If I have a about 15 fsck0000.rec files on my sd card does that mean it is dieing?
[08:22] <ae86-drifter> nice key? lol.. u mean instructions?
[08:22] <RichardH> omar, then you will still have the same issues in linux as in Windows.  I don't think anyone here will help with a bootlegged copy of software.  Maybe I'm wrong.
[08:22] <Dezine> omar, I don't think anyone here will help you with illegally obtained software
[08:22] <kinja-sheep> omar: Need? You mean you want? Not need?
[08:22] <omar> i thought runing ps on ubuntu needed like a special key
[08:23] <RichardH> omar, if you didn't buy the software, it's stolen.  software needs a key that you get when you buy the software.
[08:23] <kinja-sheep> !piracy | omar
[08:23] <ae86-drifter> can someone please tell me how i can roll back my kernel upgrade, bootin from a live cd
[08:23] <Dezine> Just use GIMP, it's not as hard as PS users act. Sure, there's a learning curve but it is doable
[08:23] <Guest11434> Does anyone here play World of Warcraft on Linux?
[08:24] <Dezine> I do Guest11434
[08:24] <RichardH> omar, if you "get" a car but didn't pay for it and the legal owner didn't give it to you, then...uuuhhh...you get the picture.
[08:24] <omar> omfg
[08:24] <omar> pirate bay its ma place dude
[08:24] <omar> :(
[08:24] <xiong> RichardH, Are you pretty solid on wine? After the karmic upgrade, I'm having some trouble with it -- seems previously installed apps won't run with it now.
[08:24] <ae86-drifter> ps cost about $1000 i think
[08:25] <Guest11434> No, I'm not looking for a WoW discussion, merely help in getting it running in Wine
[08:25] <RichardH> xiong, sorry, I haven't had time to play with wine in a long time.
[08:25] <morphias> Guest11434, i got WoW to run in wine before when i was playing it
[08:25] <Dezine> Guest11434, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[08:25] <morphias> its pretty simple.
[08:25] <xiong> RichardH, Okay, thanks just the same. Not a high priority for me today.
[08:26] <morphias> but i learned that if you have a old intel card, it craps out in linux (no opengl 2.0 support).  works better in windows.
[08:26] <ae86-drifter> what would cause my pc to boot up and just sit there flashing on and off at the login shell
[08:26] <Dezine> I have an GeForce 5900 and it runs pretty well
[08:27] <morphias> i envy you Dezine :-P
[08:27] <Dezine> This setup is about 5 years old
[08:27] <morphias> however that a desktop?
[08:27] <Dezine> I also have a 9600 but the mobo fried :|
[08:27] <RichardH> omar, no offense, but most "techie" type people look down on piracy. Once reason is that many of them may be programmers themselves.  It's usually (not always) the wannabe's that "need" this type of software.  The rest of us can find free, open source equivalents and can learn to use them to accomplish what we need.
[08:27] <Dezine> Yes
[08:27] <Guest11434> Thanks Dezine, I was using that earlier today. I created a launcher script with the help from this site http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/How-to-Setup-World-of-Warcraft-on-Linux.html and when I try to get WoW to play my screen goes black and the gauntlet-cursor loads, but nothing else happens.
[08:27] <morphias> ya. i was talking down the lines about older dell laptops
[08:28] <Dezine> What care do you have Guest11434?
[08:28] <Dezine> card*
[08:28] <morphias> X3100 (opengl 1.5)
[08:28] <Guest11434> HD 4670
[08:28] <ircuser> I want to use "Super" to start "Run Application" along with  "Alt+F2" (keep both). How to do it?
[08:28] <ae86-drifter> what would cause my pc to boot up and just sit there flashing on and off repeatedly at the login: shell
[08:28] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, is this windows or linux?
[08:29] <Dezine> Guest11434, do you have drivers installed?
[08:29] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, it is ubuntu 9.10 server ed
[08:29] <Guest11434> Yeah I do
[08:29] <Dezine> hmm
[08:29] <morphias> Dezine, that would work on his laptop after he has catalyst properly installed ;)
[08:29] <morphias> i mean desktop lol
[08:29] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, is it the command line login to the gui?
[08:30] <Guest11434> Actually... I might not come to think of it. Allow me to explain.
[08:30] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, the screen goes black and flickers on every couple of seconds, and no, server ed doesnt have a gui
[08:30] <Dezine> Guess I don't know, I never had issues so never had to troubleshoot
[08:30] <omar> im not a wanabe or none
[08:30] <omar> i just want to use ps and learn how to use it
[08:30] <ae86-drifter> its just where it normally boots to.... the login prompt...
[08:30] <morphias> omar, pm
[08:30] <Dezine> omar, then buy it.
[08:30] <Tm_T> omar: sorry, no support for pirated software, nor discussion, thanks
[08:30] <Dezine> Or, learn GIMP, which is free and legally available.
[08:31] <itsnotstalking> gimp is pretty good
[08:31] <Guest11434> This isn't actually my computer I'm installing it on. I'm installing it for my mother. On my computer I can see ATI catalyst control center under Applications since I installed my drivers. I don't see that under Applications on my mother's computer so they may not have actually installed.
[08:31] <Dezine> Seems odd to use an open source os like Ubuntu and then come into the official chat asking how to use pirated software
[08:31] <itsnotstalking> im not sure it support vectoring? which i dont know how to do anyways
[08:32] <Guest11434> Unless 4670s don't have catalyst centers for some reason.
[08:32] <Dezine> Yeah itsnotstalking, but inkscape is pretty good for vector
[08:32] <xdrr> With bind9 in the forward lookup zone do you need to enter the FQDN for the NS entry?
[08:32] <Guest11434> Our Brands are different too. I have Sapphire, she has XFX.
[08:32] <itsnotstalking> Dezine, good to know!
[08:32] <Dezine> np
[08:32] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, I would have to say it's the monitor. At least start there.  At that login prompt, there's just basic text so I don't think it's the graphics card.
[08:32] <Circs> Not to be obnoxious, but I'll ask again. Does finding a bunch (15 or so) of file fragments left over from fsck bode poorly for the health of the drive involved?
[08:32] <itsnotstalking> yeah, open source people hate pirating, bill gates loves it tho, so go nutz
[08:33] <RichardH> omar, you can download a trial and use that.
[08:33] <Dezine> omar has made his gracious exit lol
[08:33] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, i have used a monitor from a pc that works fine, as i dont normally plug a screen into the server
[08:33] <aaron11> Hello Im having a problem with my laptop. There is a white line comming straight downwards and its a BIG problem, this seems to happen even before booting. Im googleing like a mad man but some people say its an hardware fault. I just added some poison (Anti-Cocoroach) to the area where the computer needs cooling because cocoroaches will get in and spoil it anyway :). Im running Karmic Koala.
[08:34] <Dezine> itsnotstalking, have you ever been on http://www.osalt.com/? Has a good list of Open Source alternatives.
[08:34] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, what video card is in the system?
[08:34] <Guest11434> Well I suppose I'll try installing the drivers again. Maybe there was a problem last time.
[08:34] <Circs> aaron11, Definitely H/W
[08:34] <morphias> aaron11, liquids dont work with electronics
[08:34] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, the server has all brand new hardware, i think it maybe to do with an update or something i installed, do u know how i could roll back the kernel? i cannot get shell access and also lost SSH access, it is using the onboard video card, its all brand new and was working fine when i first installed the OS
[08:34] <itsnotstalking> Dezine, no but i just book marked it, i usually use google
[08:34] <an0nmat1r> aaron11: white line before booting?
[08:35] <Dezine> Yeah Google is pretty good, which is probably where I found that
[08:35] <aaron11> morphias: For your information its chalk
[08:35] <xdrr> aaron11, i had a similar case but more lines. if the laptop is old check for an old internal modem (worked for me)
[08:35] <aaron11> an0nmat1r: Yes. Strait in the middle
[08:35] <aaron11> xdrr: Almost only 1 yr old
[08:36] <kinja-sheep> aaron11: Take a screenshot. That way we know it's not hardware problem .:o
[08:36] <istvan> ether[Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. B/C) Cardbus Fast Ethernet Adapter]
[08:36] <aaron11> kinja-sheep: Your smart! Good idea
[08:36] <istvan> os[Linux 2.6.28-17-generic i686] distro[Ubuntu "jaunty" 9.04] cpu[4 x AMD Phenom(tm) 9650 Quad-Core Processor (AuthenticAMD) @ 2.30GHz] mem[Physical: 2.0GB, 81.1% free] disk[Total: 2.2TB, 46.4% free] video[nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB]
[08:36] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, oh, so you don't even get to the login prompt.  are the lights on the keyboard flashing signaling a kernel crash?
[08:36] <xdrr> aaron11: does it work with any other OS?, or appear during POST?
[08:37] <morphias> RichardH, show <ae86-drifter> how to change the kernel from a recovery cd - if you find it before i do
[08:37] <ircuser> I want to use "Super" to start "Run Application" along with  "Alt+F2" (keep both). How to do it?
[08:37] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, sorry, I'm not at home.  Everyone wants to go to sleep so I need to go.  Sorry
[08:37] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, it actually boots a live CD fine, i do not really want to have to reinstall the OS, the kernel loads up and samba loads and everything its just flickering like crazy and i lose keyboard input and SSH
[08:37] <aaron11> xdrr: I only have Ubuntu as an Operating System
[08:37] <Dhuski> aaron11, if the line appears before booting, that is to say before there is any electrcal current running through it, then there is definitely a hardware problem.
[08:38] <Dhuski> aaron11, if you access cmos does it still give you the white line?
, there is a way to mount your installation from a live cd
[08:39] <aaron11> Dhuski: Whats a cmos
[08:39] <morphias> from there, if you older kernels are still left in the installation, you can change GRUB to boot an older version
[08:39] <kinja-sheep> ircuser: "sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager" and edit the ALT+F2 thingy. It is in there.
[08:39] <ae86-drifter> morphias, yeah i understand i can do that, but then how would i roll my previous upgrade back
[08:39] <xdrr> aaron11: if you are able to, shut it down (or force shut it down) then when it boots and possibly displays a logo see if it appears there
[08:39] <aaron11> kinja-sheep: http://imagebin.org/77793 I dont know if its there
[08:40] <kinja-sheep> aaron11: Hardware Problem. I don't see a line. :O
[08:40] <ae86-drifter> morphias, i think it may have caused it, but im not sure as it hasnt been rebooted for weeks, then booted up like this one day
[08:40] <aaron11> xdrr: What computer do you have
[08:41] <xdrr> aaron11: The one that was having the problem was a toshiba satellite laptop
[08:41] <ae86-drifter> morphias, So after booting a live CD what would you suggest i do then?
[08:41] <skyllo> voip which was better adapted to the new version of ubuntu?
[08:41] <morphias> do you know how to mount filesystems? or should i pull that up for you?
[08:42] <morphias> ae86-drifter, ~
[08:42] <aaron11> xdrr: "TOSHIBA: Leading Inovation" thats the first thing that happens when you startup. In the same way my white line is comming during that point
[08:44] <morphias> aaron11, check your spec manual and see about looking at the connections for the display (seems bios related? )
[08:44] <xdrr> aaron11: if the line appears at the moment your screen is turned on e.g. it beeps and displays the logo then i would look at something hardware related, e.g. modem, bad gfx connector etc
[08:44] <skyllo> voip which was better adapted to the new version of ubuntu?
[08:44] <aaron11> xdrr: Could it be because I applied Poison
[08:46] <xdrr> aaron11: note sure what you mean by poison?
[08:47] <aaron11> xdrr: Anti-Cocoroach chalk
[08:47] <aaron11> xdrr: I applied it to the machine

[08:49] <flashkidd> happy new year,,,
[08:49] <ae86-drifter> morphias, what do u mean by ~
[08:49] <aaron11> Guys !ot
[08:50] <morphias> i meant look up to my previous message ae86-drifter ... sorry
[08:50] <ndroftheline> i accidentally deleted some important photos from my digital camera's builtin memory. i've been able to recover deleted files from the camera's SD card with recoverjpeg
[08:50] <ndroftheline> but i don't know what directory to point recoverjpeg to. it says
[08:50] <ndroftheline> gphoto2://[usb:007,002]/
[08:51] <ndroftheline> which is the address of the camera's memory
[08:51] <morphias> ndroftheline, have you tried just mounting the camara's memory someplace ?
[08:51] <Guest75745> hello, I am facing an interesting problem with ubuntu, I am using 9.04 (works rock solid for me) but ever since I re-installed it, I can't use pidgin with my google talk account.  I have added the account but I see that it is always disabled and I get the "not authorised " error and button to re-enable.
[08:51] <ae86-drifter> morphias, i know you can mount the installation from the live cd, but i would like to know how how to fix it, its really important.. otherwise i will have to back all my stuff up and reinstall and reconfigure the server which will take a while
[08:51] <ws_> I am using ubunut9.10-amd64 and i want to install glibc 2.11 ,any one installed it succeeded?
[08:51] <xdrr> just realised that the DNS problem was due to not incrementing the S/N (opps)
[08:52] <ndroftheline> morphias, no, i don't kow what the block device is
[08:54] <ndroftheline> morphias, i can unmount it but wouldn't know what to re-mount
[08:54] <morphias> no need... when you connect the card / camara, how are you identified?
[08:55] <ndroftheline> how am i identified? hrm...what do you mean?
[08:55] <morphias> ndroftheline, well have you checked the /mnt and /media folders in the root directory ?
[08:56] <ndroftheline> morphias, yeah nothing in either
[08:56] <Guest11434> Great, now WoW refuses to even pretend to start
[08:56] <ndroftheline> morphias, well i mean i have otehr folders there
[08:56] <ndroftheline> morphias, but not my camera's memory
[09:00] <ae86-drifter> ndroftheline, thers an app called diskdigger which worked very well for me one time, but it is a windows program

[09:09] <fahadmoideen> I am unable to get the softwares installed.
[09:09] <unkmar> correction: installed flex development.  Flash audio stopped working.
[09:09] <enzotib> sunil2: what do you mean by "gnome window" ?
[09:09] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: which software?
[09:10] <unkmar> oh, and Happy New Year everyone.
[09:10] <q_p> hello  my wireless router uses the "shared mode" of wep. i cannot access the net with iwconfig wlan0 essid xxx key s:xxx . any more args to set ?
[09:11] <fahadmoideen> when I am logged in as root user, I cant get the softwares installed from ubuntu software center. None of them are getting installed
[09:11] <sunil2> how to delete existing partions???????
[09:11] <q_p> when i use the nm-applet to set my wireless , it let me to choose the mode , shared or open system. i don't know how to select the mode with command iwconfig
[09:12] <lstarnes> sunil2: use the partition editor on the livecd
[09:12] <sunil2> partion editor????????
[09:12] <unkmar> sunil2: yes.
[09:12] <manco> gparted
[09:12] <lstarnes> !gparted | sunil2
[09:13] <unkmar> sunil2: what manco said.  probably have to sudo though.
[09:13] <skyllo> edit files as root with gedit without having to open the terminal?
[09:13] <unkmar> skyllo: shortcut.  gksudo gedit
[09:13] <sunil2> how to open gparted window?
[09:13] <manco> hey i get this error when using wvdial to connect my mobile to pc  The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)
[09:13] <skyllo> ok
[09:14] <lstarnes> sunil2: if you have it installed, look under system > administration
[09:14] <unkmar> nm-applet and NetworkManager will interfere with cli attempts at wireless.
[09:14] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: q_p: nm-applet and NetworkManager will interfere with cli attempts at wireless.
[09:14] <manco> any aircel users here?
[09:14] <sunil2> i want to free up some memory in my device.how to proceed for that?
[09:15] <skyllo> unkmar I want to edit the file without the terminal
[09:15] <manco> unkmar r u talking 2 me?
[09:15] <lstarnes> sunil2: how big are your partitions?
[09:15] <fahadmoideen> is that so?
[09:15] <fahadmoideen> but the installation works fine with other user
[09:15] <sunil2> along with my 9.04 version i'm having xp also
[09:15] <unkmar> skyllo: create a shortcut, a link.
[09:16] <lstarnes> sunil2: but how big are your partitions?
[09:16] <skyllo> ok
[09:16] <unkmar> skyllo: right click, Create Launcher.
[09:16] <sunil2> i want to know that/
[09:16] <lstarnes> sunil2: in a terminal: df -h
[09:17] <sunil2> after df -h what is the next step to clean up my device memory?
[09:18] <lstarnes> sunil2: can you post the output of df -h to http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[09:18] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: I have gotten wireless to work using a WPA connection, which is a little more difficult, via cli.  Only to have the sleeping NetworkManager reset/kill all my efforts minutes later.
[09:18] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: I had to sudo killall NetworkManager and sudo killall nm-applet for my connection to be stable.
[09:18] <sunil2> my url for df -h is http://paste.ubuntu.com/349871/ did you get it?
[09:19] <fahadmoideen> ok thanks
[09:19] <fahadmoideen> Which is the best linux OS?
[09:19] <lstarnes> sunil2: I would suggest repartitioning your hard disk
[09:19] <kapu> how do I use cp and preserve all file attributes as the orriginal?
[09:19] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: I later removed it from automatically launching. With a little assitance.
[09:19] <lstarnes> sunil2: 2.6 GB is nowhere near enough space to run ubuntu comfortably
[09:19] <Vituz> is it just me or does ubuntu 9.10 ignore xorg.conf?
[09:20] <kapu> i.e. last access time, owner etc..
[09:20] <Vituz> I know it says if there is one it'll accept the configuration but I'm not seeing any differences
[09:20] <unkmar> kapu: you have got to be kidding.  man cp and then look for preserve.  Type /preserve
[09:20] <sunil2> how to use this 2.6GB of space
[09:20] <unkmar> kapu: you will find the -p switch.
[09:21] <effendi> is there any way to add a start-up delay to an ubuntu statup program
[09:21] <lstarnes> sunil2: you really can't
[09:21] <kapu> ty
[09:21] <lstarnes> sunil2: the base of the system alone takes about 2 GB
[09:21] <sunil2> i'm getting message as no sufficient disc space when ever i try to install any thing.
[09:21] <fahadmoideen> Which is the best linux OS?
[09:21] <unkmar> effendi: launch it from script.  sleep seconds
[09:21] <unkmar> effendi: man sleep
[09:21] <effendi> okay, ty
[09:22] <sunil2> that's why i am asking you how to free up my disk space
[09:22] <blackest_knight> sunil2:  you could install puppy or dsl in 2.6 gb
[09:22] <lstarnes> fahadmoideen: we're obviously going to recommend ubuntu
[09:22] <lstarnes> sunil2: repartition
[09:22] <lstarnes> fahadmoideen: we're obviously going to recommend ubuntu
[09:22] <lstarnes> fahadmoideen: oops, wrong message.
[09:22] <sunil2> puppy or dsl??????
[09:22] <Vituz> urgh I can't get my crappy video card working properly since I upgraded to 9.10 :\
[09:23] <lstarnes> fahadmoideen: I meant to say that they're usually called (gnu/)linux distributions rather than (gnu/)linux operating systems
[09:23] <sunil2> if i repartion my xp also will be erased.is it so?????
[09:23] <lstarnes> sunil2: they're different distributions of linux
[09:23] <unkmar> lstarnes: I don't recommend any particular flavor.  I have my reasons for ME not liking some of them.  But each has its own uses and feel.
[09:23] <lstarnes> sunil2: if you have a good partition editor, it can resize partitions
[09:23] <blackest_knight> sunil2 get the gparted live cd from source forge boot from it and resize partitions (best way as mounted file systems can't be resized)
[09:23] <lstarnes> sunil2: without erasing them
[09:23] <Vituz> can anyone give me a hand with some xorg/ati problems...
[09:24] <lstarnes> sunil2: but you need to defragment windows's partition before trying to resize it
[09:24] <manco> Vituz whats d pblm?
[09:24] <Vituz> can't get my ati rage (mach64) card to work the way it did before the upgrade
[09:24] <unkmar> sunil2: it is generally suggested to backup all data before any action is taken.  one very crude method is usind dd.
[09:24] <sunil2> how to get the gparted live cd?????
[09:24] <Vituz> not entirely sure how I got it working before
[09:24] <manco> uwhat upgrade?
[09:24] <Vituz> 9.10
[09:24] <lstarnes> sunil2: search google for "gparted livecd download"
[09:24] <manco> hmmm
[09:24] <Vituz> all my attempts at changing xorg is coming up nil
[09:24] <unkmar> sunil2: there are better clone methods available.
[09:24] <blackest_knight> sunil2:  ever heard of google?
[09:24] <manco> how did u install the driver
[09:24] <Vituz> seems like I'm doing nothing
[09:25] <manco> it was working before?
[09:25] <Vituz> didn't install a driver.. although I did try to apt-get xorg-server-mach64 (or whatever it was)
[09:25] <sunil2> do you mean to re-install my ubuntu once again?????
[09:25] <Vituz> well I was able to use mplayer full screen before
[09:25] <Vituz> now I can't
[09:25] <lstarnes> sunil2: no
[09:25] <manco> hmmm
[09:25] <lstarnes> sunil2: you might want to if you can't resize your ubuntu partition
[09:25] <Vituz> and forced to use x11 just to get a vid at all
[09:25] <manco> well updating ubuntu  always causes problems
[09:25] <Vituz> but now its forced the sized of the encoding no bigger
[09:26] <Vituz> yah I know :)
[09:26] <manco> with the drivers
[09:26] <unkmar> Vituz: I generally state, switch to nvidia, life is easier.  Then follow with, you are likely using a laptop and don't have an option. :/
[09:26] <manco> reyea nvidia is better
[09:26] <Vituz> yah but this beast is old... I just use it as a backup server + videos
[09:26] <Vituz> main system is nvida
[09:26] <morphias> sunil2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gparted/gparted-live-stable/0.4.6-1/gparted-live-0.4.6-1.iso?use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-1
[09:26] <manco> reinstall driver thats the soluiton
[09:26] <petsounds> how can i adjust webcam brightness? what software i should use?
[09:26] <Vituz> gforce 9800 in this one
[09:27] <manco> ati & gforce?
[09:27] <Vituz> so just reinstall the xorg?
[09:27] <Vituz> 2 sep computers
[09:27] <unkmar> sunil2: generally, gparted will refuse to resize a windows/NTFS partition if it has not been cleanly unmounted.  Translation, Running chkdsk /f and doing a proper windows shutdown.
[09:27] <morphias> however sunil2, you can resize partitions by using a live cd with ubuntu
[09:27] <manco> yes the ati driver
[09:27] <Vituz> main pc nvidia.. sep fileserver/videos is the ati..
[09:27] <manco> uninstall the current driver
[09:27] <manco> well i have only one pc
[09:27] <unkmar> My adobe flash audio is broken.  Help?
[09:28] <manco> andonno how to sync 2
[09:28] <Vituz> I have a couple here... but only 2 with monitors at my desk
[09:28] <sunil2> i am having ubuntu-9.04 version cd
[09:28] <morphias> unkmar, 32 bit or 64 bit?
[09:28] <blackest_knight> unkmar:  have you rebooted ?
[09:28] <baz> hello, my new years resolution is to amass power, can someone make me an op pls. thank you
[09:28] <unkmar> blackest_knight: I have to reboot?  crud.
[09:28] <Vituz> crap already almost 5am... gotta jet.. thanks for pointing me in a diff direction
[09:28] <lstarnes> baz: you won't be made an op hehre if you ask
[09:28] <manco> cya
[09:28] <Vituz> cya later and happy new years :)
[09:28] <baz> lstarnes, how come
[09:28] <manco> happy new year
[09:29] <sunil2> is resize partions possible with ubuntu 9.04 version cd????
[09:29] <unkmar> morphias: probably 32bit despite my CPU being 64 capable.
[09:29] <morphias> sunil2, if thats a ubuntu 9.04 live cd, do a live boot, and open partition editor (system -> administartion -> partition)
[09:29] <lstarnes> baz: because being an op is seen as a huge responsibility
[09:29] <blackest_knight> baz: shame to have failed so early in the year ;)
[09:29] <lstarnes> baz: not an object of power
[09:29] <kapu> why is ubuntu generally used as a derogatory term in the OpenBSD community?  i.e. "don't ask questions here, go use Ubuntu"
[09:29] <baz> blackest_knight, i have 364 days before i fail
[09:30] <manco> wvdial error - A modem hung up the phone (exit code =16)  anyone know what is d pblm?
[09:30] <lstarnes> kapu: because it is one of the most frequent choices for beginning *nix users
[09:30] <kapu> o
[09:30] <sunil2> how to know whether my ubuntu 9.04 version cd is live cd or not
[09:30] <unkmar> blackest_knight: my audio works.  my flash audio does not.  My system had been rebooted many times since the original flash audio failure.  so if you were expecting the usual, reboot magic to work.  Not gonna work this time. :(
[09:30] <blackest_knight> unkmar:  i'm not saying you can't get flash audio working again without rebooting but it does seem to restore it most of the time
[09:30] <manco> sunil2 boot it up
[09:30] <manco> u will know
[09:30] <lstarnes> sunil2: if it has a desktop environment, it is live
[09:31] <blackest_knight> unkmar do you have vlc ?
[09:31] <baz> lstarnes, so what can i do to prove that if i were bestowed the power i wouldn't simply ban everyone in the channel because i could?
[09:31] <unkmar> blackest_knight: yes.
[09:31] <morphias> sunil2, the live cd will ask if you want to use the it as a live cd versus just installating it
[09:31] <unkmar> blackest_knight: and it plays audio just fine.
[09:31] <lstarnes> baz: you have already declared that your intention is to amass power
[09:32] <lstarnes> baz: that alone is grounds for dismissal
[09:32] <baz> lstarnes, yes this is true, go on
[09:32] <baz> lstarnes, oh really
[09:32] <sunil2> once i boot from cd i have observed the following options 1.try ubuntu without changing your system.2.install ubuntu3.memory checkup
[09:32] <manco> yea its a live cd
[09:32] <unkmar> blackest_knight: I recently has decided to learn to program flash.  Downloaded the adobe flex stuff and went through some .deb installs and such.
[09:32] <unkmar> blackest_knight: my flash audio stopped immediately after that.
[09:32] <blackest_knight> unkmar try this go to youtube and pick a video it will download it to /tmp copy it out of there and play it with vlc if you have audio its a firefox issue
[09:32] <manco> sunil2: the first option
[09:33] <lstarnes> sunil2: pick the first
[09:33] <baz> lstarnes, so what can i say to trick the ops into giving me power?
[09:33] <lstarnes> baz: nothing
[09:33] <sunil2> then how to proceed?
[09:34] <lstarnes> sunil2: once it finishes loading, go to System > Administration and look for the partition editor
[09:34] <manco> just click on it
[09:34] <baz> lstarnes, i dont understand, then how does anyone become an op
[09:34] <lstarnes> baz: it varies from channel to channel
[09:34] <hellyeah> hey
[09:34] <hellyeah> http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8577/screenshotkk.png
[09:34] <hellyeah> what is reason of this bad view
[09:35] <sunil2> then
[09:35] <baz> lstarnes, what if i help lots of people here?
[09:35] <lstarnes> baz: but it usually depends on who the ops think would be best based on helpfulness, personality, judgement, and ability to handle various situations
[09:35] <lstarnes> baz: also, this is starting to get off-topic.  I think we need to move this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:35] <hellyeah> hey
[09:35] <hellyeah> some look pls
[09:35] <baz> lstarnes, thats profiling
[09:35] <blackest_knight> unkmar it usually is a firefox issue (although recently the flash installer tends to work you might have a couple of flash versions on your system now thou which might have upset things)
[09:35] <hellyeah> http://img189.imageshack.us/content.php?page=done&l=img189/8577/screenshotkk.png
[09:36] <lstarnes> hellyeah: I saw but I can't figure out a cause or a fix
[09:36] <sunil2> after opening partion editor how to proceed????
[09:36] <hellyeah> sometimes i have worse eivw
[09:36] <baz> lstarnes, are u an op?
[09:36] <hellyeah> all view mess sometimes
[09:36] <unkmar> blackest_knight: I would love to cleanse it of ALL flash and then reinstall it.
[09:36] <baz>  /isop lstarnes
[09:37] <lstarnes> sunil2: I forget exactly how to use gparted
[09:37] <lstarnes> sunil2: but it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out
[09:38] <manco> could someone tell me the command to display the name of the guy u wanna chat with
[09:38] <manco> like manco :
[09:38] <Bookman> What is the name for the java package?
[09:38] <unkmar> baz: I don't see lstarnes wearing an @.  So, not likely to be an op.
[09:38] <ae86-drifter> manco, press tab after typing the first few letters
[09:38] <manco> ae86-drifter: thanks
[09:38] <baz> unkmar, if someone has that before their name that means their an op?
[09:38] <blackest_knight> unkmar: synaptic should be able to search for flash and make sure you use remove completely don't want a dodgy config file getting reused when you reinstall
[09:39] <manco> ae86-drifter: thanks a lot
[09:39] <blackest_knight> baz you can be an op on channel #baz see /join #baz :)
[09:39] <lstarnes> baz: that should be ##baz, not #baz
[09:40] <Corbin> hi... uh... anyone want to answer a BCD/GRUB question?
[09:40] <hellyeah> using gparted is very easy
[09:40] <Corbin> trying to use BCD as my bootloader... can BCD load grub?
[09:40] <lstarnes> Corbin: yes, but you might want to use a tool such as EasyBCD to configure that
[09:41] <Corbin> yeah, i tried that
[09:41] <Corbin> i think the problem is that grub is not installing correctly
[09:41] <Corbin> when i do the ubuntu installer
[09:41] <Corbin> im doing a custom partition setup
[09:41] <manco> Corbin: What is BCD?
[09:41] <baz> blackest_knight, hehe
[09:41] <unkmar> blackest_knight: vlc was very unhappy with the swf I downloaded
[09:41] <Corbin> BCD is the windows bootloader fromVista onwards
[09:41] <manco> Corbin: oh i see
[09:42] <Corbin> but im putting grub on a logical partition inside an extended one
[09:42] <Corbin> is that ok?
[09:42] <Corbin> and if it is ok, any ideas why grub wouldn't install?
[09:42] <lstarnes> Corbin: it worked when I did it
[09:42] <Corbin> like /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt exist
[09:42] <Corbin> and /boot/grub/setup1 isnt there... and so on
[09:42] <Corbin> but there are some grub files
[09:42] <blackest_knight> unkmar normally vlc can play the videos fine (great way to collect music via youtube ;))
[09:43] <yaodong> How to use ADSL
[09:43] <unkmar> yaodong: PPPoE
[09:43] <manco> wvdial error (mobile broadband)  The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16) anyone know hat it means
[09:43] <yaodong> please detail
[09:44] <baz> what the hell floodbot is an op!! that guy's an idiot
[09:44] <lstarnes> manco: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=351882 appears to be relevant
[09:45] <lstarnes> baz: it's a bot, not a real person.  the ops here use it to keep the channel from being flooded
[09:45] <manco> lstarnes: ok will c to it tx
[09:45] <unkmar> manco: looks like bad username/password combo.
[09:45] <sunil2> how to use gparted?
[09:45] <baz> lstarnes, i dont care what nationality he is, he only criticizes
[09:45] <the-erm> Anyone know off the top of their head how you can set th X,Y of the notification?
