[00:01] <DasEi_> sev8, that means there is the hd seen first; you should a boot live cd and chroot into the sys and then ask again here, so one can take a look
[00:01] <fractal> is there a way to roll back to 10.04 from 10.10??
[00:01] <ActionPa1snip> fractal: clean install is the only way
[00:01] <fractal> ok
[00:02] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, i have just copied a copy of ubuntu onto a flashdrive through another partition but the problem is that the flashdrive is not bootable directly but i was able to boot it when i added it to the desktop's version of ubuntu's grub; i'm currently booting through the usb drive, now how do i install grub on it?
[00:02] <r00t4rd3d> nsd_, i know how you can fix it
[00:02] <ActionPa1snip> paranoidphreak: how did you put the Ubuntu onto the flash device?
[00:02] <Rigorm0rtis> paranoidphreak, grub-install might be what you're looking for.
[00:02] <nsd_> r00t4rd3d: shoot
[00:03] <paranoidphreak> ActionPa1snip: using gparted
[00:03] <r00t4rd3d> nsd_, http://opensourceexcedio.wordpress.com/2010/10/15/plymouth-new/
[00:03] <sev8> DasEi_: OK I'll try.  I only have physical access to the machine for a few more hours tomorrow (it's just hit midnight here)
[00:03] <DasEi_> paranoidphreak, should first try if subergrubdisk boots it, then chroot in and install by grub-install
[00:03] <r00t4rd3d> run that script and you can change the resolution
[00:03] <trimeta> I was upgrading my laptop from 10.04 to 10.10, but it appears that metacity crashed at some point during the upgrade. Now the system is stuck at Grub's "do you want to update the install" question, but without metacity I can't focus on that window (the main upgrade window is blocking it), and I can't restart metacity because apparently something from gdm is missing.
[00:04] <DasEi_> sev8, same time here, channel is 24/7
[00:04] <ActionPa1snip> paranoidphreak: so you booted to an ubuntu install media then installed to the USB using that?
[00:04] <trimeta> (I switched to VT1 to try and restart metacity, but even with metacity --display :0 it didn't work.)
[00:04] <nsd_> r00t4rd3d: thanks a million
[00:04] <nsd_> r00t4rd3d: I'll give that a try
[00:04] <paranoidphreak> Rigorm0rtis: i have tried the grub-install command like this: sudo grub-install /dev/sdc1 but it didn't work
[00:05] <r00t4rd3d> nsd_, i just used to today to fix a grub screen issue i had
[00:05] <DasEi_> paranoidphreak, no, install to sdc
[00:05] <Rigorm0rtis> paranoidphreak, you might want to install it to the device itself, /dev/sdc
[00:05] <kdas> hllo people
[00:05] <bluezone> (ubuntu 10.10) DOWNLOADING torrents or downloading packages using apt-get slows down my network enourmously, internet music streams must buffer every 5-10 seconds  and pigning google reaches 1-2k ms, THIS is not an isp throthling issue (100% sure) since windows does not have such an issue
[00:05] <kdas> hello*
[00:05] <DasEi_> paranoidphreak, else you install to a partition and need a chainloader
[00:05] <sev8> DasEi_: thanks. A sysadmin friend suggested that I add the mount command to /etc/rc.local as a workaround.  If I don't manage to find the cause of the problem I can use the workaround for the time being
[00:05] <lucas> I was trying upgrade my pitivi, from source code, so did did break all applications that use gstreamer
[00:06] <[N2k]PaMpaVeRde> is this mIRC?
[00:06] <trimeta> Anyone have ideas on answering Grub's question even though metacity died and I can't switch to its window?
[00:06] <Rigorm0rtis> Blue1, sounds to me like you're just saturating your internet connection. Normal operation for any torrent download, it would happen on windows too.
[00:06] <kdas> I have seen on the forums that people are requesting Gobolinux hidden directories on Ubuntu anyone know if anything has ever been pulled off?
[00:06] <ActionPa1snip> [N2k]PaMpaVeRde: how do you mean?
[00:07] <bluezone> Rigorm0rtis: it does not happen on windows, i just tried it :S, something isn't properly coded imo
[00:07] <paranoidphreak> ActionPa1snip: no, i had originally installed this OS inside a vm and then i copied it to the flashdrive, after that, i ran "sudo update-grub" on the host machine so i could add it to the host's grub list and after rebooting, i booted inside the flashdrive's version of ubuntu

[00:08] <Rigorm0rtis> bluezone, when it comes to torrents slowing your internet, it is either your torrent client throttling you, or you happen to be downloading at a faster rate.

[00:08] <bluezone> its not only torrents it is also apt-get downloads Rigorm0rtis

[00:09] <Rigorm0rtis> bluezone, what is your connection speed to the internet?
[00:09] <pietr> hello. i would like to consult how to turn-off home folder encryption (ubuntu 10.04)
[00:10] <bluezone> Rigorm0rtis: humm... its a little under fiber, (bell fibe)
[00:10] <xtest> hello
[00:10] <Rigorm0rtis> bluezone, do your other computers' network connections get slow when you're downloading?
[00:11] <bluezone> no
[00:11] <DasEi_> pietr, you encrypted your homefolder at setup ?
[00:11] <aimio> ActionPa1snip, i made a xorg file and moved it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then i restarted back from X, and when i logged in i got a popup asking me if i want to load modmap files, and the available files is xmodmap should i load this or ignore it. ?..
[00:11] <pietr> DasEi_: during install
[00:11] <kdas> Anyway anyone who is interested in Gobolinux hidden directories for Ubuntu then you can check it out: http://k2z.com/?p=80
[00:12] <bluezone> Rigorm0rtis: and vice versa also no.
[00:12] <DasEi_> pietr, you would need space in the size of the home folder for a new partiton, then move stuff over, no on the fly-reversal there
[00:12] <ocmsRzr> hi, I'm trying to set up samba to share between ubuntu 8.04 and windows seven, how do I set sharing permissions from the commandline?

[00:15] <av_oc> I was wondering if someone could help me with postfix.  I am running postfix with courier and have successfully been able to send and receive mail to and from my domain to the outside.  The problem is when I try to connect to the server from outside the domain, I can receive mail via pop3 but the server is not authenticating on the outgoing side SMTP.  any ideas?
[00:15] <eigar> holla and happy new year! Is there a way to _not_ show "n days ago" in Evolution (e-mail)? I'd like Date all the way.
[00:16] <bucky> av_oc, will your isp let you.. most block those ports
[00:16] <doobien> Is it ok to update from LTS to LTS, or do i have to update to the normal updates also.
[00:16] <DasEi_> lahwran, http://www.linux-drivers.org/
[00:17] <ActionPa1snip> doobien: yes LTS to LTS is completely advised and supported
[00:17] <the_cyber_guy> how do i get this http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7307/ekooreonboard.jpg onscreen keyboard on ubuntu. any idea ?
[00:17] <av_oc> bucky - isp isn't the issue, i am using a mailhop service through dyndns.  clients from within the domain can send mail out to external addresses fine
[00:17] <pietr> DasEi_: so backup my stuff and then do something like 'rm -rf /home/peter' ?
[00:17] <aimio> anyone, good with xorg.conf editing ?..

[00:20] <ActionPa1snip> so you have the latest

[00:22] <wolter> DasEi_, I am aware of that, but I am just asking which is the latest version i can get through apt
[00:22] <wolter> ok

[00:24] <DasEi_> s5s, any unusal output ?

[00:31] <kyle1> so, peeps.  where do i get screenlet plugins from?
[00:31] <rez410> s5s, so right now when it reboots i have to enter that in at the box itself before i can ssh
[00:31] <r00t4rd3d> rez410, System , Preferences , Passwords and Encryption keys
[00:31] <rez410> r00t4rd3d: then?
[00:31] <s5s> rez410: you can put the password in /etc/network/interfaces
[00:32] <s5s> rez410: and get rid of Network Manager
[00:32] <r00t4rd3d> rez410, highlight Login , right click change pass , leave blank
[00:32] <rez410> s5s, ok then it will login automatically?
[00:32] <s5s> rez410: yes. You have to specify the SSid and password. Not to mention that you can put all that in rc.local
[00:32] <s5s> rez410: as an ifconfig command
[00:33] <s5s> rez410: but /etc/network/interfaces is there for that particular reason

[00:37] <oneliner> what about torrents?
[00:37] <Pawmaniac> would someone explain the situation with unrar, synaptic says its not free?
[00:38] <bluezone> torrents will do the same thing, the will screw up enourmesly, the speed at which pages will load and buffer up my internet streams
[00:38] <bluezone> this does not happen on windows :S
[00:38] <BiDDo> hi all
[00:38] <oneliner> cap the torrent client
[00:38] <bluezone> it is\

[00:39] <bluezone> oneliner: what torrent client do you use?
[00:39] <oneliner> windows makes choices for you, it slows down the torrent, with ubuntu, you get to make the choice, and are responsible for knowing how to enforce it
[00:39] <BiDDo> im trying to create a shared folder between win7 host and ubuntu guest in vbox
[00:39] <Pawmaniac> trism: yep, i got one of those archives, a 3.0
[00:39] <oneliner> in networking terms, the stupidity is a layer 8 issue :)

[00:41] <BiDDo> does anyone know how to allow me to see the shared folder I have linked within vbox with ubuntu
[00:41] <trism> Pawmaniac: yes, it is free to use, you just can't look at the code

[00:45] <bluezone> oneliner: so what torrent client do you use? not only is it slowing me down, i'm getting speeds of 10kBps -.-
[00:46] <BiDDo> can someone help me please
[00:46] <bluezone> the same torrent get 1.1mBps on win
[00:46] <ActionPa1snip> bluezone: any bugs for your wireless chip at all?
[00:46] <bluezone> nope
[00:46] <ActionPa1snip> bluezone: I'd create one then
[00:47] <bluezone> ActionPa1snip: yep :)
[00:47] <oneliner> maybe you could run a speed test from one of the dls benchmarking sites
[00:47] <oneliner> just to double check
[00:47] <bluezone> ActionPa1snip: if this countinues tommorow i will xD
[00:47] <luxurymode> Apologize if this is the wrong place for this, but anyone have recommendations for a good, reasonably priced CPU?
[00:47] <The_Maverick> newegg
[00:47] <oneliner> also if you are behind a router make sure port mapping is appropriate for your current torrent client
[00:48] <The_Maverick> like i said. i ended some bash processes. think thats going to have any severe effects?
[00:48] <bluezone> oneliner: ports seem to be well configured

[00:53] <moocawne> luxurymode: I've had it working fine before in 10.10, any suggestions?
[00:54] <schnuffle1> press F2 or DEL to enter bios and check the settings
[00:54] <moocawne> because i don't have the windows disk at the moemnt
[00:54] <luxurymode> moocawne, sorry i meant i had the booting to windows issue
[00:54] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: depends, going full custom build?
[00:54] <luxurymode> moocawne, but i know that wireless cards can be a biatch
[00:54] <luxurymode> moocawne, there was a podcast way back in the day on linuxreality about it
[00:55] <moocawne> luxurymode: about wifi problems is it?
[00:55] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, trying to figure that out actually. If there's a cheap solution to get a case with a sufficient motherboard and power supply then i'd do that, but it'd be fun building from scratch. whaddya think?
[00:55] <luxurymode> moocawne, yeah i think so. sec...
[00:56] <ActionPa1snip> moocawne: the guys in ##windows may be able to get your windows booting, you can then boot to liveCD and reinstall grub and the dualboot will be fine
[00:56] <rebekah> Does anyone know a better emulator type thing than virtual box...virtual box isn't working for me.
[00:56] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: motherboards are actually the most important choice when custom building, but not buying pre-built
[00:56] <moocawne> ActionPa1snip: will i have to delete the 10.10 I have at the moment? I have currently 120gb windows 7 and 30gb 10.10
[00:57] <BiDDo> ok im lost
[00:57] <BiDDo> i am completely green at this stuff
[00:57] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, not important when buying prebuilt?
[00:57] <BiDDo> it cant be this hard really
[00:57] <jkalex05> Hey guys how come when I watch streaming videos and they are full screen they are choppy?
[00:57] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, lets assume im going full-on custom built..
[00:57] <luxurymode> moocawne, try asking at http://www.linuxquestions.org/
[00:57] <moocawne> luxurymode: will do, I'm going to try that now, thank you
[00:57] <schnuffle1> rebekah: alternatives: kvm, openvz, vmware plaxer depending on your needs
[00:58] <luxurymode> moocawne, try http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/
[00:58] <richgilberto> this is my first real attempt at an ubuntu install
[00:58] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: not  unimportant, but not as important
[00:58] <richgilberto> whew, at least i can get IRC working
[00:58] <jkalex05> anyone know?
[00:58] <jkalex05> Hey guys how come when I watch streaming videos and they are full screen they are choppy?
[00:59] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, gotcha. so i dont even know what to look for in a motherboard. a basic primer (or maybe a link to a good one)?
[00:59] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, also, not sure if it matters, but i'll be installing ubuntu only on this machine
[00:59] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, i want everything that plays nicest with linux. guess HDs is the main issue there...
[01:00] <Jinxed-> I am not able to see my cd/dvd drive on my ubuntu partition but it works fine in the windows partition
[01:00] <schnuffle1> luxury: main issue is graphics
[01:00] <richgilberto> luxurymode: i feel like you'd be hard pressed to find a hd that didn't play nice with linux
[01:00] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode; but anyway, you first need to think of wheer you want to be endgame... graphics, (crossfire sli)  cpu, ram, other little goodies, sound card
[01:00] <luxurymode> richgilberto, well my raided drive acted like a biznatch
[01:00] <luxurymode> richgilberto, i guess i just need to avoid RAID
[01:00] <richgilberto> or use linux utils to RAID it
[01:01] <richgilberto> not sure
[01:01] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: oh and the big one, how much you want to upgrade in the future
[01:01] <schnuffle1> raid works perfect with real hardware controller or only softwrae
[01:01] <richgilberto> my issue right now is ubu wont recognize my graphics
[01:01] <schnuffle1> but avoid those semi raid chips
[01:02] <richgilberto> which is weird because i have just intel onboard right now
[01:02] <BiDDo> ok i want to start from scratch again
[01:02] <zetheroo> after not finding much on the net about this issue I am asking here ... I am trying to use my BT mouse in 10.10 .. problem is that after each and every reboot I have to re-sync the mouse ... also after replacing batteries the mouse has to be re-synced ...
[01:03] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, honestly my real goal here is to build a machine that is relatviely cheap compared to pre-built, but still a solid machine built MY way. I happen to have a boss Dell XPS right now which has a freakin huge tower, tons of space, etc. But I'd love the learning experience of building a machine from scratch. I don't even mind if I end up spending $1000+, but I'd like it to be  alot better than pre-built $1000 machine. Ge
[01:03] <luxurymode> t what I'm sayin?
[01:03] <BiDDo> i have somehow mad two directories that i would like to delete and start again.  are media/sf_music and media/ win7-shared
[01:03] <BiDDo> how do i kill them??
[01:04] <schnuffle1> rm /<pathtodirectory>
[01:04] <richgilberto> schnuffle - -R?
[01:04] <schnuffle1> yes but first he should have the path right :)
[01:04] <Diamondcite> luxurymode: From personal experience, custom self built machine has additional markup so spec wise it might actually not compare to a Brand name built system of the same cost, instead you get a machine that will probably be easier to fix in the future and is probably more upgrade friendly.
[01:05] <richgilberto> rm -R /path? or no
[01:05] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: there is a lot out there to choose from
[01:05] <luxurymode> Diamondcite, the pre-built might end up being more upgrade friendly?
[01:05] <schnuffle1> so dor me it would be rm -fR ...
[01:05] <Diamondcite> luxurymode: Pre-built is less upgrade/repair friendly, but is maybe higher spec.
[01:05] <thebloggu> i'm using ubuntu 10.10 on an asus f3jc (hda intel soundcard) and whenever i hear some sounds like pidgin's log in sound it makes some kind of short-timed noise. can someone help me?
[01:05] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, right. I guess I want ultra-upgradability. pretty decent graphics. lotta RAM, huge HDs, etc
[01:06] <luxurymode> Diamondcite, right. was confused...
[01:06] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: give me a minuet and ill throw  together a list of parts for a barebone
[01:06] <BiDDo> keeps telling me i dont have permission
[01:06] <BiDDo> or no such directory
[01:06] <luxurymode> Diamondcite, any way to get semi-prebuilt where its very upgradeable. maybe just a tower, power supply and motherboard?
[01:06] <schnuffle1> what was your command?
[01:06] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, thank you sir!
[01:07] <BiDDo> rmdir /media/sf_music
[01:07] <moocawne> thanks for your help people
[01:07] <BiDDo> this is doing my head in
[01:07] <richgilberto> hey, i know theres a bunch of information out there on this (that's actually part of the problem) but i'm trying to get my intel 82865G integrated graphics working so I can get a proper screen resolution. i have the intel drivers installed and everything but no dice...
[01:07] <Diamondcite> luxurymode: Anything Non-mass oem brandname might turn out better? Dell, HP machines are not upgradeable ^_^
[01:07] <SDemonUA> Hello, here !  Can i ask for a help with GRUB ?
[01:07] <schnuffle1> do you see it with: ls -l /media
[01:07] <BiDDo> is that a cmd
[01:07] <luxurymode> Diamondcite, gotcha. only thing ive ever done to my dell is add a third HD
[01:08] <ShadesEdge_> Why is my name like that?
[01:08] <BiDDo> im green as so baby steps
[01:08] <schnuffle1> rich which distro
[01:08] <richgilberto> BiDDo these are all commands in terminal
[01:08] <luxurymode> Diamondcite, Pawmaniac btw keep in mind that ii would need a custom case that looks exactly like this http://goo.gl/CIaqP
[01:08] <richgilberto> schnuffle: ubu 10.10
[01:08] <BiDDo> ok
[01:09] <thebloggu> i'm using ubuntu 10.10 on an asus f3jc (hda intel soundcard) and whenever i hear some sounds like pidgin's log in sound it makes some kind of short-timed noise. can someone help me?
[01:09] <richgilberto> BiDDo: type "sudo rmdir /(FolderYouWantToDelete)"
[01:09] <Diamondcite> luxurymode: That case probably costs more than some of the parts inside it?
[01:09] <elliott> luxurymode: wow. that is the ugliest case i have ever seen.
[01:09] <luxurymode> yeah. kidding... LOL
[01:09] <BiDDo> ok ls cmd  comes up total 44
[01:09] <luxurymode> just searched for the most retarded one i could find...
[01:10] <BiDDo> rhys@rhys-VirtualBox:~$ ls -l /media
[01:10] <BiDDo> total 44
[01:10] <BiDDo> drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 40960 2011-01-02 18:28 sf_music
[01:10] <BiDDo> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    4096 2011-01-03 10:09 Win7-Shared
[01:10] <richgilberto> by the way, luxurymode - that case makes me want to cry
[01:10] <luxurymode> pastebin! | Biddo
[01:10] <BiDDo> the whole screen
[01:10] <BiDDo> ??
[01:10] <luxurymode> richgilberto, lol yea me too. wowsers, right?
[01:10] <dhaivat> Come check out the topic at #dhaivatrocks!!
[01:10] <BiDDo> or in future
[01:10] <luxurymode> biddo, the relevant parts. always
[01:11] <luxurymode> dont paste multiple lines and flood the channel ;)
[01:11] <BiDDo> ok
[01:11] <BiDDo> gotcha
[01:11] <luxurymode> paste.ubuntu.com
[01:11] <BiDDo> will do in future
[01:11] <richgilberto> schnuffle1: any ideas of something good to use? i think making an xorg.conf seems a little patchy (and it didn't work anyway)
[01:12] <BiDDo> why is this so damn hard
[01:12] <richgilberto> I tried xrandr to insert new modes manually but couldn't get something that properly filled the screen
[01:13] <rez410> s5s: so i removed network-manager and edited my /etc/network/interfaces file but it isnt connecting automatically.
[01:13] <schnuffle1> to mount the share your command sgould be: sudo mount -t vboxsf <name of your share> /media/sf_music
[01:13] <dhanijeremy> greetings everyone!
[01:13] <daze21> hey - I'm on Windows, and I just got Virtual Box and am about to get Ubuntu on it
[01:14] <dhanijeremy> which is better, mp3 or ogg format in terms of quality?
[01:14] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: oh, are you nvidia/ati?
[01:14] <schnuffle1> The best way would be to delete your custom config and recreate one
[01:14] <BiDDo> yayah i deleted one
[01:14] <daze21> I clicked to install... and now I've reached this page that says "Allocate drive space." One of the options says "Erase and use the entire disk."  This won't hurt my normal OS - the Windows stuff, right?
[01:14] <BiDDo> now just the sf_music
[01:14] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, my current machine is, yes.
[01:15] <BiDDo> it tells me resource busy on the sf
[01:15] <schnuffle1>   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:15] <msandoy> daze21: If you are in Virtualbox, you had to set up a disk for the install
[01:15] <richgilberto> schnuffle1: i did that
[01:15] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: nvidia OR ati
[01:15] <daze21> msandoy: yeah... I think I did...
[01:16] <msandoy> daze21: Does it not state a certain size of the disk in question?
[01:16] <richgilberto> schnuffle1: didn't seem to work out, still doesn't recognize my card or monitor
[01:16] <Pawmaniac> luurymode: or do you not care
[01:16] <daze21> msandoy: where? on the page that says "Allocate...etc."
[01:16] <daze21> ?
[01:16] <schnuffle1> Hm, have you installed the xorg intel driver?
[01:16] <msandoy> daze21: Yes, on that page..
[01:16] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, ATI Radeon
[01:16] <daze21> msandoy: no, it doesn't
[01:16] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, little confused bc BIOS is somehow linked with nvidia
[01:17] <msandoy> daze21: Moment, I'll start up an install in VB..
[01:17] <richgilberto> schnuffle1: It seems to have installed on installation
[01:17] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, sort of a noob with vid stuff
[01:17] <jimibusch> im also having ati radeon problems.
[01:17] <SDemonUA> Hello, I need some help with GRUB . After installation on PC with WinXP Ubuntu 10.10 I can't load XP . XP is in GRUB menu but it didn't starts with it. Anyone know what it can be ?
[01:17] <richgilberto> schnuffle1: or at least that's what software center says
[01:17] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: ATi is tha way to!
[01:17] <luxurymode> jimibusch, im not having problems with it. though if you're having problems in ubuntu you proll need to install ATI catalyst
[01:17] <msandoy> daze21: In Virtualbox, you started by choosing New from top left?
[01:17] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, er...huh?
[01:18] <schnuffle1> rich: Seems :) check it to be sure, finally I'll start vbox and ubuntu, apparently this seems to create a lot of probs
[01:18] <daze21> msandoy: yes
[01:18] <msandoy> daze21: Ok, lets work from there..
[01:18] <richgilberto> yup, there's that little checkmark
[01:18] <daze21> msandoy: I got this virtual box running for something called Ubuntu; and its OS Type is Ubuntu
[01:18] <richgilberto> schnuffle1: *yep, it's installed
[01:19] <msandoy> You then gave it a name, and chose Ubuntu as OS?
[01:19] <daze21> I had to get this .iso file from online
[01:19] <daze21> yes
[01:19] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: sorry, left off go, ATi is the way to Go!
[01:19] <zetheroo> after not finding much on the net about this issue I am asking here ... I am trying to use my BT mouse in 10.10 .. problem is that after each and every reboot I have to re-sync the mouse ... also after replacing batteries the mouse has to be re-synced ...
[01:19] <jimibusch> can anyone direct me too a room that i can ask about ati and linux? so i don't flood this room?
[01:19] <msandoy> Then you accepted or changed the ammount of RAM, right?
[01:20] <richgilberto> zetheroo: care to share the name of the device?
[01:20] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, honestly, my current machine is pretty boss. a linux admin said the disk speed was like crazy fast and machine is faster than the servers he works with it at hostgator.
[01:20] <daze21> msandoy: I did everything step-by-step that was said here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox
[01:20] <amit> when i am opening a web named musicindiaonline.com it says that proxy/firewall detected.....trying alternative connection method. This problem starts today.how to resolve this
[01:21] <ActionPa1snip> luxurymode: what disks do you use?
[01:21] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: ok... so a no go?
[01:21] <BiDDo> ok so what does a little x symbol on a folder mean
[01:21] <zetheroo> richgilberto: the mouse?
[01:21] <schnuffle1> luxury: you get the most speed/money investing in a SSD for the OS disk
[01:21] <richgilberto> zetheroo: yeah, the mouse
[01:21] <cowboydren> schnuffle1: +1
[01:21] <schnuffle1> This speeds up the whole thing a lot
[01:21] <amit> help me!
[01:21] <msandoy> daze21: Ok, if you followed this, and chose to create a new hard drive, you are good to go..
[01:21] <ActionPa1snip> schnuffle1: did you see the 24 SSD array video :)
[01:21] <schnuffle1> Next thing RAM and only big CPU if you have some numbercrunching going on
[01:22] <zetheroo> richgilberto: logitech
[01:22] <cowboydren> I have a $300 laptop with a $100 SSD that feels like an $800 laptop. :)
[01:22] <schnuffle1> :)
[01:22] <msandoy> daze21: Let ubuntu use the complete drive, that is the easy sollution.
[01:22] <zetheroo> richgilberto: M/N: M-RCQ142
[01:22] <richgilberto> luxurymode: I put a SSD in a new iMac for a music venue to record HD video of concerts - crazy low latency ^_^
[01:22] <cowboydren> transcoding MPEG2 to h.264 still makes me angry.
[01:22] <daze21> msandoy: okay. so I'm going to choose the "Erase and use the entire disk" option...
[01:22] <skorv> bind9+dhcp3 or dnsmasq (for multiple lan)
[01:22] <schnuffle1> I installed a SSD on a customer laptop and the customer couldn't believe the difference
[01:22] <amit> when i am opening a web named musicindiaonline.com it says that proxy/firewall detected.....trying alternative connection method. This problem starts today.how to resolve this
[01:22] <skorv> whatz your advice
[01:23] <ActionPa1snip> I'd just get a tonne of RAM, Linux will use the free ram for cache so will eventually get most of the OS in ram which is faster than any SSD as they still only give 300MB/s
[01:23] <schnuffle1> date12: thiss will dleete windows
[01:23] <cowboydren> This thing reboots from desktop -> cold -> desktop in about 32 seconds.
[01:23] <schnuffle1> daze21: this will delete your win install
[01:23] <Karaya1> Alright let's spark a debate... Ubuntu one. Thoughts?
[01:24] <Flannel> Karaya1: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support, thanks.
[01:24] <zetheroo> richgilberto: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/428/3287?WT.z_sp=Image
[01:24] <daze21> schnuffle1: um what? msandoy is he right?
[01:24] <Karaya1> Thanks
[01:24] <schnuffle1> Ubuntu One nice idea bad license, so no go for me
[01:24] <richgilberto> zetheroo: do you have a bluetooth dongle or is it internal?
[01:24] <zetheroo> richgilberto: but the BT receiver is just some generic Chinese thing ...
[01:24] <msandoy> daze21: As long as you followed the instructions from that site, and you had the same screens, Virtualbox will not damage your computer.
[01:24] <daze21> schnuffle1: I'm running it in a virtual box
[01:24] <daze21> msandoy: okay... :)
[01:25] <richgilberto> zetheroo: so we're not sure if it's the mouse or the dongle that's the issue, right?
[01:25] <KimLaroux> ActionPa1snip, does linux use the free ram for cache by default or do you have to set something so it does so? I just upgraded from 2gb to 4gb and I see no performance gain.
[01:25] <zetheroo> richgilberto: sounds right
[01:25] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: have you created tmpfs for your caches?
[01:25] <schnuffle1> Aaaahhh, okay uuufs  than you can just take the while drive, using seperate partitions and LVM is not necessary if you don't know for what it can be good
[01:25] <zetheroo> richgilberto: though both devices are active they do not re-sync automatically
[01:26] <luxurymode> ActionPa1snip, SATA 2 RAID 0 With Dual 500GB Hard Drives
[01:26] <richgilberto> is there a big number on the bottom of the mouse? perhaps separated by colons?
[01:26] <luxurymode> richgilberto, sweet
[01:26] <richgilberto> zetheroo: is there a big number on the bottom of the mouse? perhaps separated by colons?
[01:26] <BiDDo> hey guys what does an X on a file folder mean???
[01:26] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, I can't recall "creating" such a thing... is it like swap?
[01:26] <zetheroo> richgilberto: you mean like a MAC addresS?
[01:26] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, no i still wanna do it, i mainly want to learn from it. so main thing really is to build something very upgradeable.
[01:26] <NixGeek> ActionPa1snip: I'm running with 4gb of ram and It never goes above 1GB usage, so it might of been as fast as It could be at 2GB
[01:26] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: first, you're running a 64-bit installation, right?
[01:26] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, just kinda wanted some suggestions for general guidelines
[01:26] <richgilberto> zetheroo: yessir
[01:27] <zetheroo> richgilberto: BT Address ... yes there is one on the mouse
[01:27] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, yes
[01:27] <richgilberto> what is it
[01:27] <DogoDave> I want to buy a wireless network adaptor that is capable of wireless N 2 and 5 Ghz,  I have a netgear dual band router (WNDR3700) is the netgear USB wireless adaptor supported?  I am thinking not but I want something robust and fast that will work well with my router.  I have exceeded my limit of frustration trying to get my old linksys wireless adaptor to work with ubuntu only to be knocked out when I update
[01:27] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: gimme a sec
[01:27] <ActionPa1snip> NixGeek: if you run:   free    you will see a lot of it is being used for disk cache
[01:27] <zetheroo> richgilberto: 00:07:61:cf:06:a6
[01:27] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, take all your time, thanks for the tip =D
[01:27] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, so far you think AMD may be better than intel, 6 core is boss, ATI is the way to go....
[01:27] <MJ94_> Hello, my name is Michael, and I am new to Ubuntu. I normally use Quassel (quassel-irc.org/downloads) as my main IRC client, but I can't seem to find a version of Quassel for Ubuntu 10.10.  If anyone is able to assist me, that would be appreciated. Thank you.
[01:28] <elky> Bluetooth in (a fresh install of) maverick isn't prompting my phone for a pin for pairing. Is there something else i need to install for this to happen?
[01:28] <ActionPa1snip> NixGeek: the kernel realises unused ram is wasted ram so caches a lot of stuff off the disk, but frees it if real apps are executed
[01:28] <luxurymode> MJ94, screw that. XChat.
[01:28] <Pawmaniac> luarymode: ok then, well i wold go with a mobo with LOTS of slots
[01:28] <ActionPa1snip> MJ94_: try:   apt-cache policy quassel
[01:28] <ActionPa1snip> luxurymode: if the user likes it, let them use what they want. Linux is about choice
[01:28] <richgilberto> okay, so what we need to do is add a line somewhere on startup that looks something like "hidd --connect 00:07:61:cf:06:a6"
[01:28] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: look at steps 2 and 3 here
[01:28] <cowboydren> http://itezer.com/blog/ubuntu-linux/125-Four_Tweaks_for_Using_Ubuntu_with_SSD.html
[01:28] <luxurymode> ActionPa1snip, you're right. was just being a bra
[01:28] <luxurymode> t
[01:29] <NixGeek> ActionPa1snip: it still says i've got over 2GB free, but I didn't know that and it seems like a great feature
[01:29] <luxurymode> brat*
[01:29] <waza-ari> Hey all, can i open another gnome session on tty1?
[01:29]  * cowboydren would like to be a bra sometimes...
[01:29] <ActionPa1snip> NixGeek: it is :)
[01:29] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, right. what do i look for in a mobo (besides the extensibility)?
[01:29] <cowboydren> KimLaroux, do you use Firefox or Chrome?
[01:30] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, memory, SCSI vs. EIDE, etc...
[01:30] <zetheroo> richgilberto: I have to go out for a couple hours ... will you still be around for a while?
[01:31] <daze21> msandoy: okay everything's good =)
[01:31] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, Chrome
[01:31] <msandoy> daze21: Nice...
[01:31] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: usb 3.0, sata 3.0, crossfire capability, multiple PCI-E slots along with regular PCI slots
[01:31] <richgilberto> zetheroo: probably not, but here: the name of your mouse is Logitech V470. Cross reference that with "ubuntu" and you'll find lots of useful info
[01:31] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: add something like this to your /etc/fstab and reboot
[01:31] <cowboydren> tmpfs	/home/jon/.cache/google-chrome	tmpfs	defaults	0	0
[01:31] <msandoy> daze21: Now you can play around with it, and learn how it works before you do a dual boot install..
[01:31] <zetheroo> richgilberto: thanks for the help ... ;)
[01:31] <cowboydren> (replace jon with your username)
[01:32] <pooky> I have what may seem an off question, is there a way to make the panel a fixed width without making it run edge to edge?
[01:32] <BiDDo> i am starting to get ready to smash giving me the shits
[01:32] <MJ94_> ActionPa1snip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/549681/
[01:32] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, ok awesome. what would be a healthy amount of slots?
[01:32] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, I'll try that out, thanks!
[01:33] <richgilberto> BiDDo: are you still trying to delete a directory?
[01:33] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: going from 2gb to 4gb isn't really much of a performance upgrade until you put that other space to use, like putting /tmp and a user cache into it.
[01:33] <daze21> msandoy: yayyyy.  I'm glad to finally start learning/using ubuntu. I need this.  But is there a quick keyboard shortcut to run firefox or terminal?
[01:33] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, crossifre is for ATI, allowing multiple GPUs?
[01:33] <BiDDo> yeah
[01:33] <cowboydren> daze21: alt+f2 "firefox" ?
[01:33] <earwigs> anyone else experiencing a nasty memory leak with Chomium under unbuntu?
[01:33] <richgilberto> BiDDo: did you even open the terminal yet?
[01:33] <msandoy> daze21: ctrl+alt+t is terminal
[01:33] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, well it's the type of thing I thought was done automatically... what other things can I shove into my ram?
[01:33] <daze21> msandoy: oh that's good! thanks!
[01:33] <ayeka> Hi all!  I've got an unusal problem.  Here's my situation:  I have two network cards, eth0 (internet) and eth3 (lan).  Programs such as Transmission and Apache2 work fine, however, I can not any sort of internet connectivity such as firefox or apt-get on the server.  I can access the internet just fine using another computer on my network.  Also, I have noticed that NetworkManager seems to be...
[01:34] <msandoy> daze21: I usually make shortcuts..
[01:34] <BiDDo> think it is somehow linked to windows and it wont allow the delete trying to disable the share through vbox now and force removing it
[01:34] <BiDDo> then I will start from scratch trying to link it again and but it into the home folder rather that dir
[01:34] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: it's really that you're starting with such a large amount in the first place...
[01:34] <msandoy> daze21: Rightclick the items in the applications list, and choose add to panel or add to desktop..
[01:34] <daze21> msandoy: okay.  I was jw, b/c on windows I could just hit windows key + down and then enter, you know?
[01:34] <ayeka> ... disabled on this server, and I am also using a firewall program named Firestarter (which I've had no problems before)  All I have done is switched out a bad NIC for a new one.
[01:34] <bearblack_> et
[01:34] <MJ94_> Hello, my name is Michael, and I am new to Ubuntu. I normally use Quassel (quassel-irc.org/downloads) as my main IRC client, but I can't seem to find a version of Quassel for Ubuntu 10.10.  If anyone is able to assist me, that would be appreciated. Thank you. I have ran apt-cache policy and the results can be found here (http://paste.ubuntu.com/549681/).
[01:34] <BiDDo> i hope you guys can assist in the sharing cmds
[01:34] <daze21> this is greattttttttttt
[01:34] <cowboydren> daze21: ?
[01:34] <Pawmaniac> luxarymode: 2 PCi-E minimum for unreadability 4 if you want to go all out 2 regular PCI, and yes crossfire links the GPUs together so they can work in conjugation
[01:35] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, what do you mean?
[01:35] <KM0201> MJ94: pretty sure quassel has an ubuntu version
[01:35] <ayeka> Oh, and I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.04
[01:35] <BiDDo> it keeps telling me that I dont have the permission to access or delete this sf_file
[01:35] <daze21> cowboydren: yeah, I knew about the alt+f2, but that's just running, not a shortkey...
[01:35] <BiDDo> WTF!!!!!
[01:35] <MJ94_> KimLaroux: Can you help me find it?
[01:35] <msandoy> daze21: Well, I only have windows in virtualbox, not using it for anything else than troubble tracing.
[01:35] <KM0201> !info quassel | MJ94
[01:35] <ActionPa1snip> ayeka: Jaunty is dead
[01:35] <sacarlson> ayeka: your dns config is mest up eather your not geting dhcp service or you have a static ip without seting /etc/resolv.conf
[01:35] <daze21> ctrl+alt and ctrl+shift+alt with arrow keys are cool....
[01:36] <richgilberto> BiDDo: maybe you should close the programs that are using the directory.
[01:36] <KM0201> MJ94: sudo apt-get install quassel    that should do it.
[01:36] <ayeka> lovely.  I can't seem to update due to this internet problem I'm having.
[01:36] <msandoy> You can customize all keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu to your own liking.
[01:36] <ActionPa1snip> BiDDo: prefix the command with sudo
[01:36] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: 2GB is a LOT. You can run Ubuntu 10.10 in as little as 512mb, but you'll be hitting the swap a lot. 2GB gives you a lot of headroom. Adding 2 more (or 4, or 14) just isn't that much of an improvement by itself.
[01:36] <ActionPa1snip> ayeka: there are no jaunty updaes, it's EOL
[01:36] <MJ94_> KM0201: I've seen that, but I don't know what it means.
[01:36] <ayeka> okay, let me look at the /etc/resolv.conf
[01:36] <ayeka> is that eth### dependent?
[01:36] <KM0201> MJ94: open a terminal.. and type "sudo apt-get install quassel"  no quotes, hit enter, then type your password and hit enter... watch in awe.. :)
[01:37] <ActionPa1snip> ayeka: no, resolv.conf applies to all interfaces
[01:37] <daze21> just curious... what does "ls" stand for? list?
[01:37] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: I have already put /tmp and two Chrome user caches (both users logged in) in RAM, and I'm barely hitting swap.
[01:37] <MJ94_> KM0201: I did that right before you typed it. Thanks. ;)
[01:37] <schnuffle1> ayeka: both cards in DHCP mode? If yes then one overrides the routing infos of the other
[01:37] <cowboydren> Mem:       3794888    3754944      39944          0      56076    1770796
[01:37] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, well, I develop programs for microcontrolers and I often had the 2gb filled up during my work
[01:37] <ActionPa1snip> daze21: i think so
[01:37] <Flannel> daze21: LiSt, yeah.
[01:37] <ayeka> hmm, strange,   The only difference between yesterday and today was that I swiched out interface cards.  Eth2 was bad, eth3 is the new card
[01:37] <daze21> sudo stands for "super user do" right?
[01:37] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, gotta have the old PCI for good measure?
[01:37] <richgilberto> Hey is there anyone that can assist in my graphics issue? maybe in private chat as not to bother others?
[01:37] <ayeka> both STATIC
[01:37] <KM0201> MJ94_: no prob... are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[01:37] <msandoy> daze21: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts should keep you occupied for a while. :-)
[01:37] <Flannel> daze21: Switch User DO, but close enough.
[01:37] <daze21> msandoy: heavennnn
[01:38] <MJ94_> KM0201: The former.
[01:38] <cowboydren> daze21: yes
[01:38] <msandoy> daze21: ls is the same as dir in DOS.
[01:38] <schnuffle1> Bidd: when you do a sudo mount does your share shows up?
[01:38] <richgilberto> !info intel
[01:38] <ActionPa1snip> daze21: yes
[01:38] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, unreadability?
[01:38] <msandoy> daze21: Only much more advanced..
[01:38] <daze21> Flannel: wait it is? "Switch User" ? that's interesting... I thought it was Super User?
[01:38] <KM0201> MJ94_: system/admin/synaptic package manager... is an easy to use GUI tool, you can search it for packages using the search feature
[01:38] <daze21> well ppl are saying super user... okay
[01:38] <daze21> msandoy: how is it advanced?
[01:38] <ActionPa1snip> daze21: su is switch user, if no name is given, it defaults to root. Which will fail in a standard ubuntu install
[01:38] <cowboydren> Now if I could just find a decent MPEG4 encoder. Handbrake is great, but it's soooo slooooooow.
[01:38] <MJ94_> KM0201: Thanks!
[01:38] <KM0201> MJ94_: no prob
[01:39] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: you could get by without them, but no sound cards or networks cards
[01:39] <ActionPa1snip> daze21: so if you have multiple users you can run:  su foo   and the commands you run will be as foo
[01:39] <msandoy> daze21: open terminal and type man ls
[01:39] <daze21> ActionPa1snip: thanks!!
[01:39] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, oh i want those. lol
[01:39] <KM0201> MJ94_: and in case it wasn't clear... you can also use synaptic to install packages w/ a few clicks (synaptic is basically a GUI front for apt-get)
[01:39] <max_sharpe> What does foo mean?
[01:39] <SDemonUA> Mm... who know how to load WinXp in GRUB ?
[01:39] <richgilberto> max_sharpe: foo is just kind of filler
[01:40] <MJ94_> KM0201: Thank you. :)
[01:40] <daze21> max_sharpe: it's just used as a filler, like xyz or something
[01:40] <ActionPa1snip> max_sharpe: its a commonly used word for names or variables in linux-land, another is bar
[01:40] <richgilberto> fubar
[01:40] <ActionPa1snip> richgilberto: exactly
[01:40] <MJ94_> KM0201: /me watches in awe ;)
[01:40] <max_sharpe> oohhhhh
[01:40] <schnuffle1> ayeka: does dns resolving work?
[01:40] <becky> #gnucash
[01:40] <ActionPa1snip> max_sharpe: you'll see foo and bar all over the place
[01:40] <daze21> msandoy: getting there...
[01:40] <daze21> WOW
[01:40] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, speaking of sound cards. i want awesome sound.
[01:40] <max_sharpe> yeah i just wondered if it actually mean something
[01:40] <daze21> You know what's amazing to me??
[01:40] <richgilberto> speaking of FUBAR, my computer...
[01:41] <max_sharpe> if  you want awesome sound then you want awesome speakers
[01:41] <KM0201> MJ94_: only thing is, Quassel is a KDE app, it's gonna require a ton of KDE dependencies(not a big deal in the whole scheme of things)... xchat is another popular IRC client for linux.
[01:41] <daze21> This laptop I'm on... it doesn't have a sound card or something, so it could never, ever play sound!!  Every youtube video, every movie, video game, etc.... no sound.
[01:41] <daze21> But when I boot Ubuntu, it plays SOUND. wow. howwwww
[01:41] <r00t4rd3d> KM0201, negative , in synaptic there is a version that has no kde dep
[01:41] <schnuffle1> daze: usb sound
[01:41] <DogoDave> could someone be so kind as to point me to an up to date list of ubuntu compatible wireless network adaptors.
[01:41] <richgilberto> I'm on smuxi - it doesn't seem too bad
[01:41] <cowboydren> DogoDave: it's easier to list the ones that -don't- work.
[01:41] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: is that right?... hmm, !info listed it as a KDE app..
[01:42] <ActionPa1snip> !hcl | DogoDave
[01:42] <cowboydren> It's clearly not 1999 anymore. :)
[01:42] <daze21> msandoy: ohhh so "man" is like manual :)
[01:42] <richgilberto> !info smuxi
[01:42] <max_sharpe> daze they make usb and pmcia sound cards
[01:42] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: got to have speakers that can output that sound now, but ya SPUs are no big deal as long as you dont want to record
[01:42] <msandoy> daze21: Remember to get the virtualbox guest additions, and install them in your ubuntu vb. this makes resizing the screen alot better, and mouse and keyboard grab becomes seemless.
[01:42] <ActionPa1snip> DogoDave: try get one with a broadcom 43xx chip and you can install the driver using the hardware manager app
[01:43] <DogoDave> cowboydren lol
[01:43] <MJ94_> KM0201: I wanted just the client, not the monolithic client. :)
[01:43] <msandoy> daze21: Yes, you can type man, then any kind of linux command.
[01:43] <MJ94_> How do I uninstall and get just the client, KM0201 ?
[01:43] <KM0201> richgilberto: i like smuxi's icon... because then i don't have people thinking the "xchat" icon on my desktop is somehow a pornographic chat program
[01:43] <ubuntuu> im at the splash screen for ubuntu 10.10 i hit enter and choose english and then iit goes back to ubuntu splash with the 5 dots underneath and doesnt go any further, i have made several iso.  is there a problem with the iso on the ubuntu site?
[01:43] <ubuntuu> im at the splash screen for ubuntu 10.10 i hit enter and choose english and then iit goes back to ubuntu splash with the 5 dots underneath and doesnt go any further, i have made several iso.  is there a problem with the iso on the ubuntu site??
[01:43] <KM0201> MJ94_: i'm not really sure what you just said.
[01:43] <ubuntuu> woops sorry for the 2 pastes
[01:43] <ActionPa1snip> ubuntuu: did you MD5 test the ISO you made the CD with?
[01:43] <richgilberto> KM0201: HA! then again, nobody ventures into my lair anyway...
[01:43] <MJ94_> KM0201: PM?
[01:44] <DogoDave> Thank you will check that out
[01:44] <cowboydren> ubuntuu: more likely that the burned image is corrupted or that you have a real hardware problem.
[01:44] <KM0201> MJ94_: everything you just installed, is required to install/run quassel
[01:44] <daze21> msandoy: oh I see how it's way more powerful...
[01:44] <KM0201> MJ94_: sure if you want
[01:44] <BiDDo> schnuffle1 nope
[01:44] <ubuntuu> o
[01:44] <ubuntuu> k
[01:44] <ActionPa1snip> ubuntuu: it's a question...did you?
[01:44] <ubuntuu> ill check my hardware i do have a 1tb drive for ubuntu and a 2tb drive for backup
[01:44] <KM0201> richgilberto: i know, believe me..lol.. i got asked that question like 10x, so i kept xchat, renamed it "IRC" in the menu and on the desktop, and changed the icon to the smuxi icon.. no more qustions.
[01:44] <ubuntuu> no
[01:44] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, right. i think my sound is pretty good now, just dont have great speakers
[01:44] <ubuntuu> i didnt md5 it
[01:44] <brain> hi
[01:45] <ActionPa1snip> ubuntuu: then how did you know the ISO was complete and consistent??
[01:45] <schnuffle1> Oke than what happens when you do a sudo rm -fR /media/sf_music?
[01:45] <ActionPa1snip> !md5 | ubuntuu
[01:45] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, dont even know what the heck sound card i have. realtek? or is that the codecs...
[01:45] <daze21> Is there a shortcut to getting that tomboy note thing to open?
[01:45] <ubuntuu> casue it booted right to the cd
[01:45] <brain> hi
[01:45] <daze21> I mean, some default shortcut...
[01:45] <BiDDo> ill give it a go
[01:45] <BiDDo> here is what im looking at when trying to open it fyi
[01:45] <BiDDo> http://imagebin.org/130715
[01:45] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, some ALC888 thing...
[01:45] <ubuntuu> ty for the help
[01:45] <brain> yw
[01:45] <ubuntuu> ill check thos issues
[01:45] <ActionPa1snip> ubuntuu: doesn't matter there could be bit errors throughout the cd which may affect the  install but the initial boot data may be ok
 => I think rm means remove
[01:45] <BiDDo> brb
[01:46] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: i once wanted to get MIDI to go with my Reason/Cubase rewire system. i ended up getting a $350 SPU, after about a week of looking and comparing
[01:46] <ActionPa1snip> ubuntuu: there is also the ability to test the CD for defects, did you run that?
 => Make sure you know what your doing when you run that command
[01:46] <schnuffle1> Bidd: do a sudo chmod 777 /mdeia/sf_music and try agaon
[01:46] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, wowsers. i dont need anything that insane
[01:46] <msandoy> daze21: Search around on the internet for "The linux command line.pdf", it is a free book explaining everything.
[01:46] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, whats the damage thus far to do this?
[01:46] <ActionPa1snip> !manual | msandoy
[01:46] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, sec...
[01:46] <daze21> msandoy: thank you.
[01:46] <schnuffle1> Ston I know :)
[01:47] <mouse> I'm having trouble playing dvds.  It only gives the error message "Read Error From: Error reading from DVD."  Any suggestions?
[01:47] <coz_> mouse,   have you installed the restricted extras?
[01:47] <schnuffle1> mouse: libdvdcss installed?
[01:48] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, my current graphics is AMD Radeon 4850 Dual
[01:48] <ActionPa1snip> mouse: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4; sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[01:48] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, sorry ATI
[01:48] <msandoy> daze21: np
[01:48] <ActionPa1snip> Guest80341: running an irc client as root is really a BAD idea
[01:48] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode:  thats some killer graphics already
[01:48] <cowboydren> I hope KimLaroux comes back soon...
[01:48] <r00t4rd3d> ActionPa1snip, please explain in detail why
[01:49] <sploge> Any good links for a noob learning linux?
[01:49] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, yea. games are pretty ridiculous on here.
[01:49] <mouse> schnuffle1, coz_, ActionPa1snip,  Thank you.  Just didn't know what name to look for.
[01:49] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, though i dont care about games as much
[01:49] <aeon-ltd> sploge: depends on what you wanna learn
[01:49] <krunal> whast the command to see which video card i'm using (i have dual video cards on my laptop)
[01:49] <sploge> absolute basics to start with
[01:49] <r00t4rd3d> lspci
[01:49] <krunal> r00t4rd3d, lspci lists both cards
[01:50] <ActionPa1snip> r00t4rd3d: the app has the access of root, so if the app / process gets captured by an attacker then the attacker will gain the priiveledges of the account. If it is ran by user then it will only get user rights which are significantly more limited
[01:50] <cowboydren> krunal: lspci -v will tell you what's available. Best to get into X and use it's tools.
[01:50] <sidracer> hello, does anyone use unetbootin here?
[01:50] <KM0201> sidracer: i've used it quite a few times
[01:50] <sidracer> KM0201:  and it worked?
[01:50] <KM0201> sidracer: it's always worked for me just fine
[01:51] <krunal> cowboydren, http://pastebin.com/bTJjxFyi
[01:51] <sidracer> KM0201:  just tried it... same old thing doesn't work
[01:51] <sidracer> KM0201: don't believe it
[01:51] <KM0201> sidracer: whats it doing?
[01:51] <daze21> Is it normal that "cd" is case sensitive?  the windows cmd wasn't...
[01:51] <sidracer> worst program ever
[01:51] <richgilberto> sidracer: you're using it on a netbook i assume?
[01:51] <BiDDo> schnuffle1: pm
[01:51] <cowboydren> krunal: does X start?
[01:51] <sidracer> when was it created?
[01:51] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, what about motherboard in terms of HD speed (GB/s) supported? i want faaast disk. im used to it now. cant go back
[01:51] <sidracer> richgilberto:  no
[01:51] <KM0201> sidracer: it's not the worst program ever, it works fine, you're just having some sort of issue out of it.
[01:51] <sidracer> desktop and yes, my mobo supports usb boot up
[01:52] <krunal> cowboydren, how do i see if X is started
[01:52] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, any support for 6gb/s is good?
[01:52] <brain> hi
[01:52] <cowboydren> Well, are you using a text console or graphical apps right now?
[01:52] <sidracer> i think it's more than 5 yrs old and does same thing
[01:52] <ActionPa1snip> r00t4rd3d: running many web apps as root is pretty dumb, like web browsers running as root can be vulnerable to malicious code and such, again if a nasty javascript or flash app trys to access stuff then it will have the access of the running user
[01:52] <cowboydren> luxurymode: Dude; that's fast.
[01:52] <sidracer> i followed instructions to add iso and it displayed the three steps with final one to reboot...
[01:53] <ActionPa1snip> daze21: linux is case sensitive for everything
[01:53] <sidracer> but, when i reboot and load the usb stick... it has a screen with unetbootin title
[01:53] <daze21> ActionPa1snip: thanks.  and is there a difference between " and '?  what about / and \ ?
[01:53] <luxurymode> cowboydren, yea. i dont even know what my current motherboard supports. but its fast as anything
[01:53] <sidracer> unetbootin is designed for ubuntu, right?
[01:53] <KM0201> sidracer: not necessarily, its designed for linux
[01:53] <richgilberto> sidracer: what are your specs
[01:53] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: ok i have i general idea of what i would do, been a wile sense i went hardware searching, as my current is beast, but a last year
[01:54] <thethinker> i want to play a dvd in ubuntu, solution?
[01:54] <sidracer> KM0201:  oh, come on
[01:54] <sidracer> I looked at the home page of the developers and it's ubuntu based
[01:54] <kaddi_> !nonfree >kaddi_
[01:54] <KM0201> sidracer: what?... you do realize Ubuntu isn't the only linux derivative out there don't you?
[01:54] <cowboydren> luxurymode: I just got a 64GB SSD for $99 at Microcenter, and I just couldn't be happier.
[01:54] <sidracer> yes, so?
[01:54] <sidracer> they branched off after the ubuntu-based design
[01:54] <KM0201> sidracer: my point is, its not just for ubuntu, it's for a lot of different distros
[01:54] <richgilberto> cowboydren: you serious? buy me 15
[01:55] <sidracer> but, it's ubuntu centric
[01:55] <cowboydren> luxurymode: richgilberto: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7798765&l=1f3777c7c0&id=589130933
[01:55] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: HD speed is determined my the HD, not the mobo
[01:55] <KM0201> sidracer: ok, if you say so.
[01:55] <brain> hi
[01:55] <sacarlson> thethinker: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[01:55] <sidracer> richgilberto:  my hardware is not the problem
[01:55] <coz_> thethinker,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras  and also run this command      sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[01:55] <sidracer> i have a quad core processor
[01:55] <KM0201> sidracer: then if your hardware is not the problem, then there's another issue, and its likely not unetbooting, because i've used it many tiems w/o issue
[01:56] <sidracer> i've tried it many times always with an issue
[01:56] <a7i3n>    /quit
[01:56] <KM0201> sidracer: then you have an issue obviously
[01:56] <sidracer> i thought maybe they fixed it by now but nope
[01:56] <krunal> ActionPa1snip, can u help? i have nvidia optimus (2 video cards....nvidia and intel) - how do i see which one i'm currently using
[01:56] <richgilberto> sidracer: then it's the software's fault. you're right. is this what you've come in here to be told?
[01:56] <r00t4rd3d> sidracer, you could always try pendrive linux's Universal USB Installer
[01:56] <cowboydren> luxurymode: and if you wonder if that's fast, on your machine in gnome, run System -> Administration -> Disk Utility -> Benchmark
[01:56] <coz_> krunal,   disable the nvidia in the bios and use the intel
[01:57] <sidracer> r00t4rd3d: oh, pendrive linux site?  oh, yeah
[01:57] <krunal> coz_, there is no option to disable the nvidia.... i know i shouldn't have got this video card but no choice now
[01:57] <richgilberto> isn't there a How To on ubuntu.com of how to make a bootable usb drive without using other software?
[01:57] <sidracer> i haven't been to that site in a while...it's an idea, thianks
[01:57] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: like this HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533
[01:57] <brain> hi
[01:57] <coz_> krunal,  oooo   open terminal  paste this command     lspci | grep -i vga
[01:58] <sidracer> i usually use cd or dvds for live media because the usb programs are so buggy especially unetbootin
[01:58] <thethinker> coz_: what next?
[01:58] <sidracer> i've tried it in both linux and windows... problems in both
[01:58] <coz_> thethinker,   is t his  64 bit or 32 bit?
[01:58] <thethinker> coz_: 64
[01:58] <Dribble> hey I'm having problems with my screen goes out all the icons buttions and such wont show up this is very anoying im using nivida drivers on lts with 64pro any ideas or solutions?
[01:59] <KM0201> sidracer: have you considered that possibly, your thumb drive is the issue?
[01:59] <brain> hi
[01:59] <krunal> coz_, http://pastebin.com/xF7bGMye
[01:59] <sidracer> my thumb drive works fine but thanks
[01:59] <coz_> Therstrium,   scroll to bottom of page    http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/w64codecs.html   download the  w32codecs and install them ...that should be it
[01:59] <mouse> Concerning the problem with playing dvds, do I need to restart before these changes will take affect because they seem to be making no affect now.
[01:59] <nunya> what is a good simple command line podcast program?
[01:59] <KM0201> sidracer: i have one thumb drive that "works fine".. but will not work w/ unetbootin, thats why i asked.. but you seem to have all the answers, so good luck w/ your problem
[01:59] <coz_> krunal,   are you sure there is no way in the bio to disable that nvidia ??
[02:00] <krunal> coz_, yea i'm sure
[02:00] <coz_> krunal,  I assume  this is a laptop?
[02:00] <krunal> coz_, yes.. laptop. I want to use the nvidia only
[02:00] <luxurymode> cowboydren, 64 gb's kinda small, no?
[02:00] <brain> hi
[02:00] <luxurymode> cowboydren, i have a terabyte right now
[02:00] <cowboydren> luxurymode: no.
[02:00] <Dribble> hey brain
[02:00] <brain> finally
[02:00] <brain> ive been saying hi for an hour
[02:01] <skraito> hey brain
[02:01] <brain> :)
[02:01] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: and then this mobo www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131647
[02:01] <brain> i dont have any questions
[02:01] <cowboydren> luxurymode: you use the 64 for the OS and apps, you put your data (video, music) somewhere else. Don't put data that you're going to read and write a lot on an SSD unless it's dedicated to that purpose. What do you want the speed for, specifically?
[02:01] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, the idea is great and it does seem to help with performance... only problem is; my /home is encrypted, so I cannot mount somthing inside it before it's decrypted...
[02:02] <sidracer> i don't have the answers... except for my experience being unetbootin is no good
[02:02] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: I forgot that bit.
[02:02] <luxurymode> cowboydren, oh oh. gotcha. just mount a diff disk for your real data. gotcha
[02:02] <Dribble> so my display drivers keep going in and out and I cant see anything
[02:02] <muerto_en_vida> esto no es el irc hispano., no??
[02:02] <coz_> krunal   you will have to blacklist the nvidia I believe
[02:02] <guampa> muerto_en_vida: no, #ubuntu-es si
[02:02] <luxurymode> cowboydren, dont need major speed just so used to crazy fast disk that i dont wanna notice any real difference. im spoiled!
[02:03] <lahwran> ok when I do sudo apt-get install x*, why does it treat it like I did *x*?
[02:04] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, those look great.
[02:04] <KM0201> lahwran: huh?
[02:04] <cowboydren> luxurymode: If you're doing HD video capture in real time, spending lots of money on a great big SSD is necessary. My fully-functional OS drive uses less than 10GB of space at any given time. This ain't Windows Vista.
[02:04] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, happen to know of towers that make for ease of access, etc?
[02:04] <Alan502> Hey, Can somebody help me runing jinput on ubuntu lucid 64bit? I installed the maverick packages wich say "all architectures" and should work fine on lucid, as they told me. However there is a problem with a class named "LinuxEnvironmentPlugin"... can somebody help me?
[02:04] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: the HAF case
[02:04] <cowboydren> HAF <drool>
[02:05] <luxurymode> cowboydren, right. gotta more fully appreciate linux and the beauty of mounting discs
[02:05] <KimLaroux> It works great if I skip it and then manually mount it ounce I'm logged in... hmmm, is there a place I can put a command to be executed at login?
[02:05] <Pawmaniac> luxurymode: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119225
[02:05] <cowboydren> luxurymode: but a Benjamin buys a LOT of fun. :)
[02:05] <lahwran> ubuntu-artwork and ubuntu-desktop are both metapackages, correct?
[02:05] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, jesus
[02:06] <IdleOne> Pawmaniac luxurymode can you two move this convo over to #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[02:06] <cowboydren> The CoolerMaster Scout is nice, too, but kinda' funky.
[02:06] <luxurymode> Pawmaniac, sick
[02:06] <Olson> hello, i'm looking to make a panel button that mutes/unmutes microphone. I make screen casts and sometimes in an hour I need to cough or drink water and i'd like to be able to mute that out, without after editing
[02:06] <Dribble> nviida display drivers screen goes in and out???
[02:06] <cowboydren> Dribble: what release?
[02:06] <Dribble> lucid lts
[02:06] <cowboydren> Dribble: I had trouble with that too. nVidia or X.org drivers?
[02:07] <Dribble> not sure
[02:07] <Dribble> x.org i think
[02:07] <cowboydren> Dribble: $ xdpyinfo
[02:07] <Dribble> 195.36.24
[02:08] <cowboydren> Dribble: is turning off the nVidia driver an option, or do you -need- the acceleration?
[02:08] <sacarlson> Olson: you can add a hot key System>preference>keyboard hotkeys
[02:08] <Dribble> I really do need it I use blender alot
[02:08] <cowboydren> Dribble: understood.
[02:09] <Olson> sacarlson, ok thanks i'll look in to that now :)
[02:09] <cowboydren> Dribble: since that's really an nVidia problem, I'm not sure how far you'll get.
[02:09] <guampa> Olson: you can do it, set up in the panel a launcher for a script that mutes/unmutes the mic, perhaps using amixer
[02:10] <r00t4rd3d> try this in xchat /exec firefox weather.com yahoo.com msn.com
[02:10] <r00t4rd3d> :D
[02:10] <cowboydren> Dribble: is there any chance that you can backdate to a version of the nVidia driver that didn't flicker, or has it always flickered since you put Lucid on that machine?
[02:10] <Dribble> yeah i've been having this issue for quite a while and have tryed various attemts from online forums but It did get fixed for a while after an update then I updateed at again and it came back
[02:10] <xiven> I hope that doesn't go into the chat
[02:10] <cowboydren> Dribble: you may have hit a wall, friend.
[02:11] <Dribble> It was working fine with 9.10 then after I upgraded to lucid all hell broke lose
[02:11] <Dribble> from what I read they say its a issue with the new kernal for some reason
[02:11] <Dribble> yeah I'm good but i'm not that good
[02:12] <cowboydren> Dribble: sounds likely. That's the thing that sucks with Free(ish) software. :-/
[02:12] <ubuntuu> thank you the setup now works
[02:12] <ubuntuu> 0ne l0ve everyone
[02:12] <Dribble> yeah do you know if that has been an issue with the 10.10
[02:12] <cowboydren> Dribble: I'm not working on that machine anymore. :(
[02:13] <Olson> guampa, yah, that's what i'm looking to do, or maybe using the keyboard shortcut method sacarlson mentioned, though I dont know the command to mute microphone like that and it's not in the default keyboard shortcut menu to assign a key to
[02:13] <honeypot_> hi I used network manager to share my wireless internet with the RJ45 port, in DHCP it works but it assigns to another ip range
[02:13] <Dribble> why
[02:13] <honeypot_> could anybody explain if this is normal plz?
[02:13] <cowboydren> Dribble: built it for a friend. Dropping ubuntu on it was just a toy, and that was a few months ago.
[02:14] <Dribble> ahh
[02:14] <sacarlson> Olson: on my list in keyboard short cuts it's on the top called mute
[02:14] <ubuntuu> does the server edition have all the guis too?  or do I have to apt-get them all?
[02:14] <NixGeek> When I open blender, I get a window of static and when I run a screen saver other than blank I get static with the ati catalyst driver.  It's more annoying than necessity, but I would like to have beldner working,
[02:14] <cowboydren> Core2 Duo, GT420 video, lots of fun for a few days. :)
[02:14] <Dribble> I guess i'll have to keep reading or learn how to program a kernal :)
[02:14] <cowboydren> Dribble: hint: google "kernel," not "kernal." ;0
[02:15] <cowboydren> ;)
[02:15] <Olson> sacarlson, yes.. "volume mute" i see that.. however it doesn't affect the microphone recording level i'm  looking to mute
[02:15] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: so, what are you going to do about the encryption thingie?
[02:16] <sacarlson> Olson: oh your right that's for output not input mic
[02:16] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, well, I thought about making it noauto but then I can't find a way to execute a command at login
[02:16] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: can you add it to /etc/rc.local?
[02:16] <honeypot_> I'm sharing internet with another network card
[02:16] <majnoon> what is mode +j ??
[02:17] <honeypot_> what should static IP address be plz
[02:17] <KimLaroux> cowboydren, would not that make it execute during boot?
[02:17] <rww> majnoon: join limits. see http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[02:17] <Olson> sacarlson, yeah i use ALSA anyway so i'm looking to mute the "front mic" input with some kind of command
[02:17] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: yes and no. It's done by root, and it's done after boot, not done by the kernel during boot.
[02:18] <Gartral> can someone help me get my Ambeient Light Sensor working in 10.10 on a cr-48?
[02:18] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: just a thought.
[02:18] <KimLaroux> after boot, but before login... so that is not helping, the key here is to execute it after I login
[02:18] <GeekSquid> Gartral: any luck with the multi-touch?
[02:18] <cowboydren> KimLaroux: gotcha.
[02:18] <KimLaroux> =)
[02:19] <majnoon> rww just first time i seen that one
[02:19] <Dribble> you can't upgrade from lucid to 10.10?
[02:19] <Gartral> GeekSquid, NOPE
[02:19] <cowboydren> Seriously, out of 1331 users, nobody reading this screen knows about Handbrake replacements? ;)
[02:19] <aiguo110> 有国民吗
[02:19] <Dribble> handbrake replacements
[02:20] <Olson> guampa, can you point me in the right direction towards making alittle on/off script for muting/unmuting the microphone volume using ALSA?
[02:20] <cowboydren> Handbrake is a great tool, it's just slower than Christmas.
[02:20] <Gartral> GeekSquid, all i've found requires either every dev on planet earth learn dbus, or me recompile my kernel, and the latter is impossible on a cr-48
[02:20] <schnuffle1> Acidrip ogmrip, i use ogmrip
[02:21] <cowboydren> schnuffle1: the kicker is that I already have all of the MPEG2 MKV files, I just want to transcode them.
[02:21] <schnuffle1> it's a nice tool and supports matroska
[02:21] <sacarlson> Olson: I found it http://askubuntu.com/questions/12100/keyboard-shortcut-command-to-mute-unmute-microphone
[02:21] <veritas> Anyone have any ideas on getting a logitech web cam to work with ubuntu?
[02:21] <cowboydren> (and put them into an mp4 container instead of mkv)
[02:21] <aiguo110> 请问有Chinese 人？
[02:21] <GeekSquid> !cn | aiguo110
[02:21] <Olson> sacarlson, ohh that looks like just the ticket thanks very much :)
[02:22] <somethinginteres> hi all I've made a bootable USB of Ubuntu netbook 10.10 and run Wubi from within Windows but all it presents me with is two buttons one called "Demo and Full Install" and the other "Learn More". "Demo and FI" asks me to restart my computer last time I used Wubi the install happens from within Windows is this still the case?
[02:22] <aiguo110> Thank you
[02:22] <boern> hey guys, can you tell me the command with i can access to the internet?
[02:23] <cowboydren> MakeMKV is a fast, robust ripper, and I like keeping the original transport streams.
[02:23] <GeekSquid> Gartral: nothing is impossible, considering Gos was built from ubuntu... theory says they started with Gos when they built Chrome
[02:23] <cowboydren> boern: eth0 up?
[02:23] <boern> for wlan?
[02:23] <KM0201> somethinginteres: should be, but wubi is a mess.. i'd think about doing  a "normal" install if I were you.. it's not hard.
[02:24] <cowboydren> boern: I'm being mean. But you're being vague. $ ifconfig wlan up
[02:24] <cowboydren> boern: are you asking how to start a browser, or are you having network connection problems?
[02:24] <tortoise7> hi folks, near the end of a fresh install of 10.04 amd64, grub failed to load.... instead of aborting install... i continued without  a boot loader.... now, in the tryout mode on the system..... i am not seeing how to install grub.... suggestions?
[02:24] <GeekSquid> cowboydren: problem is, every program that does what handbrake does uses ffmpeg or mplayer's transcode ... essentially running the same scripts
[02:25] <cowboydren> GeekSquid: blegh. Thanks for that, though.
[02:25] <somethinginteres> KM0201: yeah, usually I would but I am "renting" this netbook so...
[02:25] <boern> i just want to access to my wlan with the terminal
[02:25] <ActionPa1snip> tortoise7: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:25] <cowboydren> boern: okay. when you run "ifconfig wlan" what does it say?
[02:25] <Dribble> ifconfig
[02:26] <Olson> sacarlson, yes, that does exactly what I needed, thank you so much for taking the time to seek that out for me
[02:26] <boern> Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:1f:3c:55:1e:d6
[02:26] <boern>           inet Adresse:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Maske:<IP_ADDRESS>

[02:26] <KM0201> somethinginteres: well it's not like you can't do a restore before you return it(which i imagine you'd do anyway)
[02:26] <tortoise7> ActionPa1snip:  no windows at all.... but will go look... thanks
[02:26] <cowboydren> boern: looks like it's attached to a local network with a private IP address.
[02:26] <boern> something like that
[02:26] <ActionPa1snip> tortoise7: you do it in the livecd, nothing to do with windows at all
[02:27] <boern> yes, but i need the command because i would like to start ubuntu in the terminal mode
[02:27] <cowboydren> boern: or did you manually configure that <IP_ADDRESS> address?
[02:27] <ActionPa1snip> tortoise7: this is a little better: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html
[02:27] <somethinginteres> KM0201: Wondering how I'd be able to do that, bit of a n00b when it comes to this stuff
[02:28] <boern> no i have not done any thing
[02:28] <tortoise7> ActtionPa1snip:  Thanks!
[02:28] <KM0201> somethinginteres: well, most netbooks, etc.. hve a restore partition.
[02:28] <cowboydren> boern: sounds like you're up and running. can you "ping www.google.com" ?
[02:28] <KM0201> in the event you wanted to restore, just boot the restore partition, restore the drive to the way it was when you got it, and give it back.
[02:28] <somethinginteres> KM0201: Ah OK I see this one does have a restore partition. How do you normally boot into it?
[02:29] <ayeka> Hi all.  I finally got a chance to look at my /etc/resolv.conf.  There was nothing in the file besides a comment.  Is my interface file correct:
[02:29] <boern> cowboydren: yes i can
[02:29] <ayeka> auto lo
[02:29] <Olson> guampa, thanks as well man, it's sorted :)
[02:29] <ayeka> iface lo inet loopback
[02:29] <ActionPa1snip> ayeka: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:29] <ayeka> not on the server
[02:29] <ayeka> but I can from my laptop
[02:29] <ActionPa1snip> ayeka: which system is having the issue? or is it both?
[02:30] <ayeka> it's like my netowrk traffic passes through, but if I want to activly use my internet conection on the server it doesn't work at all
[02:30] <KM0201> somethinginteres: usually ike f8.. or maybe f2, during boot up.. it should say when you turn the netbook on.. "press xx for restore utility" or something like that
[02:30] <cowboydren> boern: then you're up. what else do you want to know?
[02:30] <ActionPa1snip> !ics | ayeka
[02:30] <ayeka> only the server.  Transmission and apache both work fine
[02:30] <ayeka> I'm currently using firestarter.  Had no problems up until this morning when I changed out a  bad NIC with a new one
[02:31] <somethinginteres> KM0201: OK thanks for that. So doing a normal install I'd just tell Ubuntu netbook to "install beside" windows?
[02:31] <KM0201> somethinginteres: yes... and just pay attention to the space you assign
[02:31] <Condorito> hi all, & happy new year.
[02:32] <Condorito> Have a wireless problem, question please
[02:32] <Olson> goodbye guampa and sacarlson thank you again, keep up the good work :)
[02:32] <ayeka> network manager doesn't seem to work on the server either.  Says that the device is not managed
[02:32] <zulax> any link on setting up rails3 server on ubuntu?
[02:32] <somethinginteres> KM0201: OK I'll give it a whirl thanks. I've mucked around with the live CD and Unity is going to take me some time to get used to. :)
[02:32] <sacarlson> ayeka: so try at the command line sudo dhclient ethX   X being the network card you plan or have hooked to the internet that has a dhcp server runing
[02:33] <KM0201> somethinginteres: you can use a normal gnome interface if you want to...
[02:33] <KM0201> personally, i hate unity
[02:33] <NixGeek> ha!  I beat the computer.  enabling xinerama instead of letting catalyst control dual screens, and everything if working!
[02:33] <ayeka> my network is 100% staticly assigned
[02:33] <ohzie> ayeka: ( o_o)
[02:33] <Condorito> someone in the neighborhood has a wireless they left called "default" and ubuntu always tries to unlock it first before my own. how do I exclude it from attempting to connect to this "default" wireless?
[02:33] <ActionPa1snip> NixGeek: wtg :)
[02:33] <NixGeek> Wxxept for the network icon in the top corner has a white background, any fix for it?
[02:34] <sacarlson> ayeka: then you will need to manualy modify your /etc/resolv.conf,  if that's not it then you have a winbind problem
[02:34] <ActionPa1snip> Condorito: remove the SSID from network manager's knowledge
[02:34] <ayeka> what do I need to put in my resolv.conf?
[02:34] <schnuffle1> ayeka:zould it be that the new card has a new name that zou haven|t configured yet_
[02:34] <ActionPa1snip> sacarlson: ayeka cannot ping <IP_ADDRESS> so it's not a dns issue
[02:34] <somethinginteres> KM0201: ah, that's good to know. I like to give everything a fair chance, but the ability to change to GNOME is nice.
[02:34] <schnuffle1> azeka> nameserver IPofnameserver IS THE MINIMUM
[02:35] <BlueFish_> anyone use firestarter?
[02:35] <ayeka> the old card was named eth2.  the new one is eth3.  i changed the name in my /etc/networking/interfaces accordingly and rebooted
[02:35] <DasEi> ayeka: how do you connect ?
[02:35] <Condorito> ActionPa1snip; okay, have you got a link that explains how to, please?
[02:35] <ayeka> eth0 is the internet assigned NIC in firestarter, which is static assigned to what my ISP assigned to me
[02:36] <BlueFish_> i need to allow azerus aka vuse to access the internet  without having to stop the fire wall.I just dont know which port to open?
[02:36] <ayeka> eth3 is also a static ip <IP_ADDRESS>, is my gateway that all my other networked computers use to access the internet
[02:36] <sacarlson> ayeka: you need to put a dns ip address in it like http://www.opendns.com/  <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:36] <schnuffle1> azeka and where does zour default gatewaz point to_
[02:36] <ayeka> dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS> isn't good enough in the /interfaces file?
[02:37] <DasEi> ayeka: so you got a static, not dynamic ip, then resolv.conf needs the dns-server you want to use , f.e. the provider ones or opendns or the like
[02:37] <juniour> hey i am not able to send files to mobile via bluetooth
[02:37] <Condorito> ActionPa1snip: am I on the right track with this? "gconf-editor"
[02:37] <juniour> help me
[02:37] <ayeka> so then I just do:
[02:37] <ayeka> <IP_ADDRESS>

[02:38] <BlueFish_> anyone know which port i should open to allow azerus to connect to internet
[02:38] <ayeka> sorry, normally I would use pastebinit, but I can't access that through the server right now

[02:40] <Jinxed-> Any idea why my dvd drive shows up in windows but not ubuntu?
[02:40] <KM0201> em: right click nm-applet, edit connections, wireless tab, delete it
[02:41] <DasEi> ayeka: put a nick when replying to s.o. ; you usually don't edit resolv.conf, the ip nedds nameserver in front in that file, rather do a gateway or /etc/interfaces to set a custom one

[02:47] <Nintet> i am listening to a radio station that needs a broadcast compressor
[02:47] <mbvpixies78> is there any faster way than having to write down what I see and type it here?  For example, does Ubuntu server have anything built-in to allow me to copy and paste to you?
[02:47] <Nintet> in Totem
[02:48] <Nintet> can i install a DSP plugin to compress the signal?
[02:48] <Condorito> very odd. only my own wireless appears to be in the ID list, and the "default" does not show up.
[02:48] <rww> !pastebinit | mbvpixies78
[02:48] <Condorito> yet it still tries to connect to it.
[02:48] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: notnetworked is bad..

[02:51] <mbvpixies78> : DasEi : thanks
[02:51] <breadcrumb> !lolops
[02:51] <NixGeek> he's an irc bot so he has a "body" that is a computer connected to the internet running him
[02:52] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[02:52] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: back to the issue, did sudo dhclient connect?
[02:52] <NixGeek> it's not a female bot!
[02:52] <Nintet> which audio player has a compressor plugin?
[02:52] <mbvpixies78> DasEi :  It gave a lot of feedback...  what do I look for?
[02:53] <juniour>  hey i am not able to send files to mobile via bluetooth
[02:53] <somethinginteres> KM0201: booted into the netbook install options presented were to manually specify partitions or to erase disk. I chose to specify the partition manually but I'm not sure which partition I should use. There's 4 in total "sda1-4" 2 are ntfs one is fat32
[02:53] <DasEi> Nintet: link to the station ? (pm me )
[02:53] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: ip assigned,like bound to 192..
[02:53] <DasEi> ?
[02:54] <KM0201> somethinginteres: well thats only 3 partitions, if 2 are NTFS, and one is fat32
[02:54] <Jinxed-> Any idea why my dvd drive shows up in windows but not ubuntu?
[02:54] <NixGeek> !no gender is <reply> I'm an awesome bot, so of course I must be male
[02:54] <mbvpixies78> : DasEi :  Yes, it says bound to <IP_ADDRESS> and now I can ping my router
[02:55] <sacarlson> Jinxed-: the drive or the dvd disk that you put in the drive?
[02:55] <r00t4rd3d> Nintet, totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin  or totem-xine-firefox-plugin or mozilla-mplayer
[02:55] <IdleOne> NixGeek: please don't submit useless edits to the bot
[02:55] <blacksunseven> I'm trying to do a clean install of Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS from USB. I've tried both unetbootin and usb-creator-gtk and neither results in a bootable usb drive for me. I've done this process before with other versions of Ubuntu so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
[02:55] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: aharr, so things get easier now, switch over and work on from this box ?
[02:55] <NixGeek> like gender is a useful factoid?
[02:55] <somethinginteres> KM0201: sorry the last is "(unknown)"
[02:55] <Nintet> r00t4rd3d: that has a simple compressor?
[02:55] <r00t4rd3d> not sure
[02:56] <IdleOne> NixGeek: I didn't say the factoid was useful. I said your edit was useless
[02:56] <mbvpixies78> : DasEi :  yes, most definitely..  what do you recommend first?  Install xfce (KDE is too bloated and slow for the old box)?
[02:56] <r00t4rd3d> !gender
[02:56] <kingrayray> Hey guys, I have ubuntu 10.10 running fine on my laptop, but i just had my cdrom drive die on me, and now it won't boot cause it's looking for the cdrom. Anyone know how to manually get past grub disabling the cdrom it seems to be looking for?
[02:56] <Nintet> r00t4rd3d: what i want is a player with a DSP compressor... like the threashold attack release gain...
[02:56]  * KimLaroux loves Linux.
[02:56] <mbvpixies78> : DasEi :  Thank you btw
[02:57] <mbvpixies78> : DasEi :  I'd never seen that command before
[02:57] <NixGeek> IdleOne: May I ask how come a useless factoid can be added, but can't be edited with something just as useless?  and is it fair that the bot gets to say it's female?
[02:57] <IdleOne> NixGeek: the bot is female. why argue that fact.
[02:58] <sacarlson> kingrayray: if your booting from cdrom I assume it's a cdrom media failure
[02:58] <Chelsea> Hi all, How do I use find to filter (and maybe sort) by symlink?
[02:58] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: specs of the box ? cpu, ram ?
[02:58] <IdleOne> NixGeek: perhaps I should have been a little less rude. In the future could you please make edit request that are useful/helpful.
[02:58] <Condorito> I has a lot to read, all of a sudden. singing off. thanks & bye.
[02:58] <kingrayray> i'm not booting from cdrom, the OS is installed fine- its just timing out trying to talk to the cdrom for some reason. I basically just need to come up with a custom grub entry, I think
[02:58] <blacksunseven> so... is there some issue with installing server isos and trying to boot with them from USB?
[02:59] <mbvpixies78> DasEi :  1.7 GHz Athlon XP (2100+), 512 MB RAM
[02:59] <NixGeek> IdleOne: gladly, and I had no reason to edit it, or to argue the point, i'm sorry about that.
[02:59] <ayeka> THANK YOU!!!!    Adding nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> in my /etc/resolv.conf did the trick.  Thank you!!
[02:59] <ayeka> now i'm going to attempt to have the update manager upgrade my server to 10.10...or 10.04..what ever the current release is.
[02:59] <juniour> cowboydren bluetooth works
[03:00] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: so nothing wrong with gnome
[03:00] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: sudo apt-get install gdm
[03:01] <sacarlson> kingrayray: ok you installed it to hard disk but at grub2 it needs a cdrom,  can you boot a live cd and pastebin the /boot/grub.lst file?
[03:01] <mbvpixies78> DasEi :  I want to use it for a samba file server (have Win 7 box) and as a web server, btw, my hopeful goal
[03:01] <kingrayray> sacarlson: that's the problem, i cannot boot a cdrom because the drive physically died. i just need to get the system to stop looking for / trying to use it
[03:02] <kingrayray> sacarlson: i'm attempting to manually get through grub with the commandline, but i'm not sure how well it'll work
[03:02] <sacarlson> kingrayray: ok can you just unplug the cdrom drive then,  it should time out at some point I would think
[03:03] <mbvpixies78> DasEi :  returns package gdm not available
[03:03] <ayeka> an upgrade/update question:  In Update Manager, when I have the button to upgrade me to 10.x from 9.x...is that the same thing as running the following terminal command:  sudo apt-get upgrade   ?
[03:03] <kingrayray> sacarlson: ideally i would but i don't know how to take the laptop apart :p i guess i could look that up. when i boot the recovery mode entry, it hangs waiting for a response from a drive that the bios doesn't even see
[03:03] <mbvpixies78> DasEi :  update repository list?
[03:04] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: nothing wrong with it,also can later on boot, thus gdm installed, boot in headless still
[03:04] <juniour> update manger
[03:04] <sacarlson> kingrayray: wow I've never seen this one
[03:04] <juniour> ayeka in update manager
[03:04] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: sudo apt-get install gdm gnome-terminal && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:05] <kingrayray> normal boot drops me to busybox cause the cdrom doesn't respond (cause it's "not there")
[03:05] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: might be some stuff :)
[03:05] <stmiller> what is a good cd ripper like grip? That can do multiple tracks at once
[03:05] <juniour> ayeka settings->updates
[03:05] <kingrayray> sacarlson: i'm going to try to let it time out, it just keeps saying "please be patient" after "SRST failed (errno=-16)
[03:06] <juniour> in relase updates change lts to normal release then upgrade
[03:06] <shawn156> reisio?
[03:06] <mbvpixies78> DasEi :  ok, thnxs, brb
[03:07] <juniour> ayeka got it
[03:07] <juniour> ?
[03:08] <aimio> anyone know of a good like tweak the "sh***t out of ubuntu desktop".. i want to make it shine :)
[03:08] <sacarlson> kingrayray: if it ever does boot make sure you look in /etc/fstab to be sure cdrom is not set to be mounted at any time
[03:08] <mbvpixies78> DasEi :  something's still not right--  I struck out there.  "no packages available"
[03:08] <bearblack_> hello. this is say something test 123.
[03:08] <kingrayray> sacarlson: yeah that's the plan :P heck if i have to i'll pull the drive and toss it in this box and remove the line :p
[03:08] <ayeka> right, I understand there are options to change what I can update via the update manager.  I want to know is there a terminal command that I can run that does the same thing that clicking on the button for upgrading to the next release version of Ubuntu in update manager.  Like I'm using 9.10 right now.  I go in to update manager, and it says I can upgrade to 10.04.
[03:08] <DasEi> aimio: new to ubuntu ?
[03:08] <juniour> aimio sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
[03:09] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: ping google.com  works?
[03:09] <aimio> juniour, not that kind of tweak, i mean like visual tweaking.
[03:09] <sacarlson> kingrayray: I guess usb flash boot might be an option but it might end up in the same place
[03:09] <mbvpixies78> DasEi : yes, ping google works fine
[03:09] <juniour> sudo apt-get install ccsm
[03:10] <aimio> DasEi, not just have not been involved in ubuntu for a long time not sure what is good at this point.
[03:10] <juniour> or
[03:10] <bartek> When Ubuntu moved upstart files to /etc/init -- How can I guarantee these files will also run on boot? I can execute them using initctl but the custom ones I have do not start up on boot, I have to manually start them
[03:10] <DasEi> aimio: checkout gnome.org
[03:10] <sacarlson> kingrayray: third option is pxeboot if your bios supports any of these
[03:10] <aimio> DasEi, thanks.
[03:10] <DasEi> aimio: simplecssm, cairo-dock.. what's your experience?
[03:10] <juniour> aimio application->ubuntu software center type ccsm and install it
[03:11] <kingrayray> sacarlson: it appears it timed out, is there a way to resume boot from busybox?
[03:11] <sacarlson> kingrayray: try help
[03:11] <DasEi> aimio: a search ubuntu perfect desktop on ubuntugeek gives additional hints
[03:12] <bozdog> hi everyone, happy new year
[03:12] <aimio> yeah thanks, i am looking into it now :D
[03:12] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: so seems your sources.list  may lack sth., which distro is it ? is there an ssh installed ?
[03:12] <juniour> aimio compiz will give u 3d effect cube deskop etc
[03:12] <aimio> juniour, i am not looking to make so much effect just want something small but that standsout in a "bling way" :)
[03:13] <bozdog> anyone tell me how to look at other computers connected through a router ?
[03:13] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, This is Ubuntu Server (no frills) 10.04.  I installed the LAMP option, but not ssh
[03:13] <bozdog> running ubuntu 10.10 on both machines
[03:13] <[thor]> aimio: cairo-dock-gtk
[03:13] <DasEi> !ccsm | aimio
[03:13] <[thor]> oops -glx i mean
[03:13] <juniour> aimio have you tried dock
[03:13] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, basically, it's all command-line, unless I'm unaware of any installed GUIs
[03:13] <blacksunseven> for whatever reason, my computer refuses to boot from usb with ubuntu server on it
[03:14] <aimio> i will try it all now, sec.
[03:14] <DasEi> bozdog: ping?
[03:14] <bozdog> i can't find network manager although it is installed
[03:14] <BiDDo> schnuffle1: hey bud you still around
[03:14] <blacksunseven> is there a way to specify, in grub or ubuntu, to start the ubuntu 10.04 installer from the usb drive?
[03:14] <[thor]> aimio: http://www.glx-dock.org/mc_album.php?a=3
[03:14] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: lsb_release -a  tells about distro,  sudo service ssh start     reveals if it's installed
[03:15] <bozdog> don't know the ping address
[03:15] <NixGeek> bozdog: try right-clicking on a panel and adding notification area
[03:15] <sacarlson> blacksunseven: you can modify the settings in your bios to boot usb first
[03:15] <bartek> How can I guarantee certain scripts will startup on boot? Since upgrading mySQL and Daemontools no longer autostart on boot and require a manual launch
[03:15] <juniour> blacksunseven wt prob you r facing?
[03:15] <DasEi> bozdog: put nick when answering; ifconfig shows the ip of a box
[03:15] <Jinxed-> I am unable to access my cdrom due to permissions but it says it is mounted
[03:15] <Jinxed-> any ideas?
[03:15] <DasEi> bozdog: nmap lets you scan whole subnets
[03:16] <NixGeek> bios reminds me, I still need to overclock this computer.  I think I got all the bugs worked out
[03:16] <sacarlson> blacksunseven: you can also setup a grub2 custom to specify a usb boot and set that as default boot
[03:16] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, ok, brb
[03:16] <bozdog> DasEi ok thanks i'll try
[03:16] <blacksunseven> I've tried booting from USB first but no dice - I've done this before without issue but there seems to be some angst with Server 10.04
[03:16] <BiDDo> anyone able to help out with sharing folders from win to vbox
[03:17] <juniour> blacksunseven change the booting order make external device 1st and enable it
[03:17] <juniour> blacksunseven go to bios
[03:17] <blacksunseven> juniour, sacarlson : i've already tried modifying the boot orders
[03:17] <DasEi> BiDDo: lil' busy just now, checked the FAQ on virtualbox homepage ?
[03:17] <blacksunseven> disabling all drives except the usb drive (which is recognized in bios)
[03:17] <GeekSquid> BiDDo: please take your question to #vbox
[03:18] <blacksunseven> for what its worth, unetbootin and usb-creator-gtk both encounter this problem
[03:18] <juniour> have uu made external 1st and enabled it
[03:18] <blacksunseven> juniour: yeah
[03:18] <Nintet> so VLC doesnt get a compressor untill v 1.2
[03:18] <juniour> k
[03:18] <clgshaft> nvidia?
[03:18] <sacarlson> blacksunseven: what is the issue?  does your bios support usb boot?
[03:19] <blacksunseven> sacarlson: yes, i've done this before with ubuntu 8.04, no problems
[03:19] <juniour> wt the error u r getting
[03:19] <blacksunseven> (on the same computer)
[03:19] <blacksunseven> i'm getting the typical "invalid boot device, please insert bootable media etc etc"
[03:19] <juniour> blacksunseven error tell me?
[03:19] <juniour> k
[03:19] <ubuntuu> does anyone know why ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 is giving me this message............
[03:19] <DasEi> Nintet: thanks for feedback, maybe take that question to #ubuntu-studio
[03:19] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, Lsb_,, :  "No LSB modules available, Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, lucid...  ssh isn't installed
[03:20] <Nintet> yeah spare that compressors are standard hardware on INPUTS ONLY
[03:20] <ubuntuu> mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed
[03:20] <mocramis> hi
[03:20] <Nintet> i mean... seems like players should have one by defualt
[03:20] <sacarlson> blacksunseven: sounds like a usb flash that was installed poorly,  can you boot this usb on any other system?
[03:20] <ubuntuu> does anyone know this error?
[03:20] <DasEi> Nintet: and if you know winamp can do, use latest wine and have winamp there
[03:20] <blacksunseven> sacarlson: i'll try it out, one sec
[03:20] <mocramis> does anybody knows how to restart the sound system ?
[03:20] <kingrayray> sacarlson: well physically removing the drive worked- turns out all you need on this hp lappy is to remove one screw and a paperclip. lol
[03:20] <nit-wit> blacksunseven, do you know the per-session boot menu key prompt
[03:20] <Nintet> i mean, its not a problem with the distro...
[03:21] <kingrayray> sacarlson: thanks for the help :)
[03:21] <upstairs> xsys
[03:21] <juniour> blacksunseven have u installed universal installer in ur usb inad installed it and selected the write iso
[03:21] <Nintet>  audio is just shrouded in mystery
[03:21] <mocramis> i thought it was something like restart aoss, but it doesn't seems to work
[03:21] <max_sharpe> LOL
[03:21] <sacarlson> kingrayray: ya there not that hard,  good to hear
[03:21] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: so seems you only got a very poor install there, can you boot a live cd on that box ?
[03:21] <Guest12982> yep corrupt usb-created
[03:21] <max_sharpe> Hey does anyone know or know where i could find the specs to mininum specs for ubuntu notebook remix?
[03:22] <nit-wit> max_sharpe, same as a regular desktop
[03:22] <DasEi> !specs | max_sharpe
[03:22] <sacarlson> kingrayray: you might also find if you plug it back in now it will work,  80% of all failures are just the connectors
[03:22] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, yeah--  Fedora 14 was too slow, Xubuntu seemed to work alright
[03:22] <blacksunseven> nit-wit: you mean my bios boot menu? yeah i've tried that, no dice
[03:22] <Guest12982> Ubuntu Netbook Remix is designed to run well on netbooks with typically minimal specs, i.e.:

[03:22] <Canon> Anyone install "Ubuntu Pentest Edition"?
[03:23] <nit-wit> blacksunseven, no there is a out of the bios key prompt hit at boot as if going to the bios mine is f12 yours may be different
[03:23] <juniour> blacksunseven ur usb size ?
[03:23] <blacksunseven> nit-wit: yeah, that's what i meant by boot menu
[03:23] <nit-wit> blacksunseven, not in the bios
[03:24] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, I intially wanted Fedora 14 Security Lab spin, for school, but it couldn't connect to the internet except really slowly.  However, I ran Fedora 9 on this same hardware in 2007 with not network problems
[03:24] <kingrayray> sacarlson: yeah thats what im thinking, but ive had problems with this drive for a while. i will probably just replace it lol
[03:24] <blacksunseven> juniour: 16GB, though i've partitioned it to only have one 2GB FAT32 bootable partition
[03:24] <juniour> k
[03:24] <blacksunseven> nit-wit: i assure you we're speaking about the same menu
[03:24] <bartek> Why does placing files in /etc/init in Ubuntu latest not make them autostart on boot?
[03:24] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: the specs of it are fine for your purpose, but seems you did a minimal install missing essential things.. so
[03:24] <blacksunseven> nit-wit: i hit F10 for mine
[03:24] <nit-wit> blacksunseven, there is the bios boot from menu and another one outside the bios
[03:24] <blacksunseven> hmmm, maybe this sucker doesnt boot at all
[03:24] <blacksunseven> nit-wit: i know
[03:25] <nit-wit> blacksunseven, cool
[03:25] <blacksunseven> so the usb drive doesnt appear to boot on another system
[03:25] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: easiest boot a live cd, so I can connect and so we can set it up
[03:25] <ubuntuu> mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed
[03:25] <nit-wit> blacksunseven, is it a cruzer
[03:25] <ubuntuu> iim trying to install 10.04
[03:25] <sacarlson> blacksunseven: I have had problems with fake usb flash drives,  make sure the drive is good with hwtest or other method
[03:25] <blacksunseven> nit-wit: no, it's a mushkin
[03:26] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, any suggestions as to which live CD?  Is there one for Ubuntu Server or can any distro be made to suit my purposes?
[03:26] <ubuntuu> ii might have to install the server edition
[03:26] <blacksunseven> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UD3ODM/ref=oss_product
[03:26] <blacksunseven> that's the exact drive
[03:26] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, I have several live cd's burned
[03:26] <r00t4rd3d> heh the cr-48 can run ubuntu , osx , win7 :/ http://blog.laptopmag.com/google-cr-48-notebook-hacked-to-mac-os-x-windows-7#axzz19wI8HPDp
[03:26] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: better a live cd, aka lucid/maverick desktop-iso
[03:27] <mocramis> ok, fouand it, it was alsa-reload
[03:27] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: server cd is no live
[03:27] <Elvisox> ??
[03:28] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, is it possible to use Kubuntu and just use xfce to increase performance?
[03:28] <sacarlson> blacksunseven: you can test the integrity of the usb flash simply by just writing the iso file to the disk and do an md5sum on it to verify that the space needed for an iso is good on the device
[03:28] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: alsothatboxisn't to weak to do a standard install and remove btw. strip down unwanted services for the later use
[03:28] <Daryl_> could i get help configuring a Belkin wireless NIC for DSL in this channel?
[03:28] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: yes,can switch surfaces
[03:28] <NixGeek> mbvpixies78: if you run "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" you can install xfce on any distro
[03:29] <NixGeek> mbvpixies78: not distro, sorry, any any fork of ubuntu
[03:29] <DasEi> NixGeek: rural install missing essentials is current state, no apt working

[03:30] <somethinginteres> trying to install Ubuntu netbook atm on an Asus eee there's 4 partitions and I am not sure how to go about safely installing UNetbook so I can return the rental at the end of my contract
[03:30] <sacarlson> blacksunseven: here in Thailand about 2 out of 3 usb flash disks are fake and only have a fraction of the space they are configured to hold
[03:30] <Daryl_> could i get help configuring a Belkin wireless NIC for DSL in this channel?
[03:30] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, so just download Ubuntu desktop 10.04?
[03:30] <detrix42> anyone here know if I can export mail from kmail and imported to thunderbird?
[03:30] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: yes
[03:30] <nit-wit> somethinginteres, wubi if its a rental
[03:31] <NixGeek> somethinginteres:  wouldn't it be against hte terms of your contract to install ubuntu on a rental?
[03:31] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: once you got a working sys, everything can be altered for special purposes, if more new to this, easier way
[03:31] <nit-wit> somethinginteres, if you have a big enough thumb t=you could do a full install like 8 gigs or more
[03:31] <Toxicsg> I am thinking of using an old PC as a home server, any suggestions as to which might be the best Linux Distro to use. The PC is a Pentium 4 3.00Ghz, 512mb Ram. I am used to Ubuntu as a main OS. Thanks.
[03:32] <somethinginteres> NixGeek and nit-wit: I have given Wubi a go but it doesn't seem to work. Just shows me two buttons "Demo and Install" and "Learn More" the "demo" button just boots into the liveusb. Seems like a wubi bug
[03:32] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, that makes sense--  I wasn't sure how to proceed but I've learned a lot more commands over the past two days than ever
[03:32] <DasEi> Toxicsg: this is ubuntu, more a question for #linux or search at distrowatch
[03:32] <juniour> Toxicgs u cna use any version
[03:33] <trisquel> hi! I wanted to dd over 500GB to mz external drive, did "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=backup.img"
[03:33] <somethinginteres> NixGeek: not sure about the terms on that one. I did tell them I had intended to install ubuntu and no objections were raised but I would prefer to use wubi if I could
[03:33] <jumbojack> Has anyone else experienced their desktop locking that can be fixed by restarting x11-common?
[03:33] <trisquel> it stiopped after 4GB saying file too big
[03:33] <dcider> ubuntu 10.10 shows I have a floppy (floppy0) under Places but I dont have a floppy drive. how to get rid of the icon....thx
[03:33] <Flannel> trisquel: Is the enternal drive formatted as FAT?
[03:33] <Toxicsg> I cannot send to channel ##linux
[03:33] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: yes, I would be able to do a choosen install, but if there isn't enough experience, that expert install can become a hassle
[03:33] <juniour> Toxicsg u can use any version ur config is good
[03:33] <DasEi> !register | Toxicsg
[03:34] <trisquel> Flannel, zes fat32
[03:34] <DasEi> Toxicsg: ask in #freenode
[03:34] <Flannel> trisquel: FAT32 has a 4GB filesize limit
[03:34] <detrix42> anyone here have any problems running KDE programs on a netbook?  Just trying to figure out what is causing it.
[03:34] <NixGeek> Toxicsg: add some ram and that will be as fast as most new computers now.  my new build has a 3.2GHZ processor and it's almost the fastest I could find
[03:34] <somethinginteres> nit-wit: that's when running wubi off the bootable thumb if I download wubi.exe to my desktop and run it I am presented with the normal screen i.e. specifying were to install and how big to make it. Username/pass etc
[03:34] <trisquel> Flannel, drive has lots of free space, i could reduce partition and create a new one. what file szstem would zou recommend for mz external usb hdd?
[03:35] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, I dread the manual partitioning part
[03:35] <DasEi> detrix42: install htop, conky and see what's eating up ressources, ram ?
[03:35] <detrix42> DasEi: thanks
[03:35] <Toxicsg> Thank you all.
[03:36] <mbvpixies78> While I'm downloading..  Can anyone recommend a distro for a 500MHz AMD K62, 256 MB RAM?
[03:36] <NixGeek> somethinginteres: how about an ubuntu live usb, get a 32GB flash drive for $40-50 adn then you can have ubuntu wherever you are.
[03:36] <trisquel> Flannel: I was told ext was preferrable on external drives, dunno why
[03:36] <DasEi> !low memory | mbvpixies78
[03:36] <trisquel> what should i use?
[03:37] <nit-wit> somethinginteres, sounds like you know the way to install but you might want this thread in your bookmarks.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198
[03:37] <Flannel> trisquel: ext3 would work just fine, yeah.
[03:37] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: purpose of it ?
[03:37] <Flannel> trisquel: Also, using dd probably isn't the best way to back stuff up anyway, since any unused space wont be compressed/ignored
[03:37] <Flannel> !backup | trisquel
[03:38] <em> on my desktop I went to 'create wireless network' and I set one up with WPA encryption. But then when my laptop found that connection it only gave WEP as a choice for the password. What's going on there?

[03:38] <bozdog> DasEi i can ping machines on my network just wondering if there is a more friendly application that will allow me to navigate across drives etc

[03:39] <trisquel> Flannel: thx, itÇs reallz to be fast as IÇm late on it. ThereÇs onlz 100 MB of free space, and I want a one command backup that does all persoanl data, szstem,, /boot, MBR, encrzption, so I guess dd is fine for that. itÇs not meant to be for incremental backups or so, just as i need to hand in my laptop for repair and later want to copy back
[03:39] <BiDDo> wheres my cheers
[03:40] <juniour> that will work
[03:40] <BiDDo> *shakes fist
[03:40] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: else there a specialized distros, though it works below PIII ubu is not that fun no more
[03:40] <somethinginteres> NixGeek: I thought of that but the USB pen runs so slow. I'll give wubi a crack
[03:40] <trisquel> and should be bootable again withou new installation
[03:40] <nit-wit> somethinginteres, no problem wubi has some problems but fixable and that thread is a great help.
[03:40] <em> juniour: I did and that does work. But WEP is not as good as WPA and I don't understand why my desktop can make a WPA encrypted WAP and my laptop can find it but then only give me a choice of WEP for the password.

[03:41] <z0mbie> I have ubuntu providing sftp services with openssh and authentication by Active directory with likewise-open. I set a ftpusers group to be chrooted to a shared folder. Is there a way to deny all but several windows domain user accounts to be allowed to log into ubuntu and access the sftp server?
[03:41] <juniour> i know that
[03:41] <trisquel> Flannel or is it insecure?
[03:41] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: so you d/l desktop now, install and then come back?
[03:41] <trisquel> Flannel, would you rather recommend me using ext3 pr ext4?
[03:41] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, what does headless mean exactly?
[03:41] <Flannel> trisquel: Not at all.  Just wasteful, but if its just a small bit, or infrequent, it's fine.  You seem to understand that already.
[03:41] <juniour> em i have tried it it workns in wep i dont know the reason
[03:41] <BiDDo> Thanks Dasei
[03:41] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: no gui, commandline only
[03:41] <MrNibbles> happy new year you bunch of legends
[03:42] <Flannel> trisquel: Whichever you'd prefer.  ext3 is supported on more platforms (older ones), but if you're in a well controlled environment, it doesn't matter a whole lot
[03:42] <somethinginteres> nit-wit: there's no way to make the install size greater than 30GB that you know of? The netbook has a 170GB drive that's effectively empty atm
[03:42] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, yeah, I'm downloading.  Headless would be good practice then for that third box
[03:43] <DasEi> mbvpixies78: right, after having the parachute" of gui in a suffiecient machine, where you can learn terminal, too
[03:43] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, very much agreed

[03:45] <mbvpixies78> DasEi, and when I finally get some money, I'll buy a cheap mobo/processor for the third box, maybe make it a media server or something
