[15:54] <xgt001> crolax, install the latest unity, turn on vsync in ccsm
[15:54] <mang0> !ask | aquinorcd_
[15:55] <teh_augmenter> Ibis: I would look up the router in Google and see if what the specs read
[15:55] <LjL> DMTarmey: ask in their support channel or forum, we can't help you with things that aren't Ubuntu here
[15:55] <Ibis> aquinorcd_: Specifically state what you're experiencing please. (Boot problem can be caused by many things)
[15:55] <Ibis> teh_augmenter: But mines doesn't tell me if it can do gigabit or not.
[15:55] <crolax> xgt001, I have the latest unity + prop. drivers; Unity 2D is perfect, 3D games work perfect too. Unity (3D) is just crap
[15:55] <teh_augmenter> Ibis: what is the router model?
[15:55] <crolax> xgt001, how would enabling vsync in ccsm help?
[15:56] <Ibis> I only know that it's a Netgear WPN824v3.
[15:56] <DMTarmey> LjL im asking here because i was only trying it and there dosnt seem to be anyone on there support channel and i need to access my ubuntu to do somwe work
[15:56] <teh_augmenter> Ibis: I put DD-WRT on mine so there is more information available on the router
[15:56] <ikonia> robertzaccour: what is in the file you downloaded ?
[15:56] <Ibis> DD-WRT?
[15:56] <mneptok> Ibis: Netgear's site doesn't tell you? really?
[15:56] <aquinorcd_> I am having a busy box v1.18.4 Ubuntu 1:1.18.4-2 Ubuntu2 built-in shell (ash) (initramfs) message. Then the boot locks out. I tried to work on the grub but it does not recognize it
[15:56] <xgt001> crolax, ok basically on my laptop if i run unity with ac power i get it done properly, i had seen some bugfixes hey wait
[15:57] <deadlytackler> @xgt001 fine will try to recompile.  is there any option to go to kernel file and edit it from terminal
[15:57] <Ibis> mneptok: It only provides me documentations on how to set it up and trouble shooting. Nothing about speed in megabits.
[15:57] <Pseudoephedrine> Can i use a PFB on linux somehow??
[15:57] <LjL> !restoregrub | DMTarmey, try following this
[15:57] <teh_augmenter> Ibis: looks like its only 10/100M which means it is not gigabit
[15:57] <xgt001> crolax, so sorry there is a ppa (don remember the exact name) but it is specifically with amd fixes :) google out
[15:57] <teh_augmenter> Ibis: dd-wrt.com
[15:57] <crolax> xgt001, a ppa for unity?
[15:58] <xgt001> crolax, a ppa for unity with workarounds for amd issues,
[15:58] <ikonia> robertzaccour: I've just looked at the contents of that file and it doesn't appear to contain any Linux compatible files (or mac for that matter)
[15:58] <teh_augmenter> Ibis: you search your model number and get instructions. DD-WRT is a linux firmware for routers enabling more advanced settings
[15:58] <valerie_> LjL and MonkeyDust thanks
[15:59] <teh_augmenter> Ibis: Its pretty sweet, if you have roommates or similar you can control bandwidth between them through a Quality Of Service (QOS) Setting
[15:59] <Gentoo64> Ibis: you wont need custom firmware to see if your router can do gigabit :s
[15:59] <mneptok> Ibis:
[15:59] <mneptok> Five 10/100 (1 internet, and 4 LAN)
[15:59] <mneptok> ports equipped with auto-sensing
[15:59] <aquinorcd_> Ubottu  thank you.
[16:00] <mneptok> Ibis: http://kbserver.netgear.com/datasheets/enus_ds_wpn824_13mar07.pdf
[16:00] <crolax> xgt001, ah, no thanks, that will probably introduce more problems than it'll solve :)
[16:00] <xgt001> crolax, my apologies for not remembering the name , i had read it somewhere, sometime back, i am on arch now
[16:00] <teh_augmenter> Gentoo64: already told them. Its only 10/100M aka not gigabit
[16:00] <mneptok> Ibis: i found that in less than 3 minutes. your Google-fu needs time at the dojo.
[16:00] <xgt001> crolax, it fixed the slideshow issue for me actually
[16:00] <teh_augmenter> mneptok: ditto lol - 2 second google fu
[16:00] <crolax> xgt001, you know if Gnome Shell works with AMD cards on Arch?
[16:01] <Gentoo64> crolax: bit vague
[16:01] <Gentoo64> if its a modern amd card it will
[16:01] <pangolin> ask in #archlinux
[16:01] <teh_augmenter> crolax: Arch works with anything, lol. Its Arch. All about your setup, join #archlinux
[16:01] <Ibis> mneptok: Lol, I landed on a different netgear page that only had firmware and documentation on how to set it up. :'(
[16:01] <crolax> Gentoo64, no modern AMD card works with Gnome Shell when using non-open drivers on Ubuntu afaik
[16:01] <Ibis> Thanks anyway.
[16:02] <Gentoo64> crolax: it should
[16:02] <Ibis> Looks like I won't be getting 1000Mbits.
[16:02] <crolax> Gentoo64, I know it should, but it doesn't ;)
[16:02] <teh_augmenter> crolax: wht card is it?
[16:03] <crolax> teh_augmenter, HD4850 on my desktop, HD5450m in my laptop
[16:03] <rabbi1> my pidgin status doesn't change to Available from Away after when I come back ... ? confused ..
[16:03] <Gentoo64> crolax: ive had a 4870 before and it ran gnome shell
[16:03] <administartor> how to change IRC?
[16:03] <Gentoo64> that 4850 is more than powerful enoughj
[16:03] <teh_augmenter> crolax, I have an HD5770 in my desktop. No issues. hmmmmm
[16:04] <koll> HOW TO CHANGE IRC?
[16:04] <crolax> Gentoo64, I know it's powerful enough, it's just that the non-open drivers give corruption all over the place with Gnome Shell
[16:04] <teh_augmenter> type /join #channel
[16:04] <Gentoo64> koll: the client? or the xchannel
[16:04] <koll> thanks
[16:04] <crolax> teh_augmenter, what drivers do you use? (I'm talking about Gnome Shell btw, not Unity)
[16:05] <teh_augmenter> crolax, I don't use unity either. I just use the file from AMD that you have to sudo bash
[16:05] <Gentoo64> crolax: not sure why its giving corruption, do you even need the prop drivers/
[16:05] <Ibis> koll: What do you mean by "Change IRC"?            Is that to go to another IRC Network?             Or to join another Channel? (Channel meaning chatroom, such as #Ubuntu, #Freenode, ##hardware)
[16:05] <Ibis> Or you want to use another IRC chat client other than Xchat?
[16:05] <crolax> Gentoo64, prop. drivers are needed to play games, but most importantly: power consumption is way lower with prop. drivers
[16:05] <teh_augmenter> Ibis, I think he already left
[16:05] <teh_augmenter> Ibis,  yup
[16:06] <teh_augmenter> lol
[16:06] <Gentoo64> crolax: ah i didnt kno you wanted games
[16:06] <Ibis> Right after I said something.
[16:06] <teh_augmenter> #sopa
[16:06] <crolax> Gentoo64, I don't play games
[16:06] <teh_augmenter> wonder whats in there
[16:06] <Ibis> LOL @ #SOPA
[16:06] <crolax> teh_augmenter, yeah, I used that file from AMD too (it has an option to create .deb files, that's what I used)
[16:06] <Ibis> teh_augmenter: You go there, and have a look for us and report back...
[16:06] <Ibis> Assuming if you make it. *giggles*
[16:07] <teh_augmenter> Ibis, 344 users and no activity
[16:07] <emma> it's a honeypot set by the RIAA
[16:07] <teh_augmenter> emma, lol
[16:07] <emma> they will put you on The List
[16:07] <teh_augmenter> emma, watch out they're after us
[16:07] <LjL> !offtopic
[16:07] <crolax> teh_augmenter, so you get no corruption when using the drivers from AMD with your HD5770 in Gnome Shell?
[16:08] <d3ngar> I seem to have a major problem with my laptop monitor: it doesn't show anything. It is connected and recognised though. Once Ubuntu boots, I can see stuff on the second screen
[16:08] <teh_augmenter> crolax, what kind of curroption are you talking about? video distortion?
[16:09] <Hexaditidom> Having problems connecting to the internet. Followed this http://sourceforge.net/projects/ath9k-htc/ , but I'm unsure what to do next. How do I get my usb wifi adapter to appear in ifconfig?
[16:09] <crolax> teh_augmenter, basically this: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-gnome-maintainers/attachments/20110629/8afa9f76/attachment-0001.png
[16:09] <AFD> is there a way to have empathy chat logs backed up to ubuntuone?
[16:10] <AFD> I would like them synced between machines
[16:10] <teh_augmenter> crolax, gnome 3 - I bet if you used arch your gnome would work. They're still on gnome 2 some revision iirc
[16:10] <crolax> AFD, you can link the log folder to a folder in your Ubuntu One folder
[16:11] <Gentoo64> teh_augmenter: gnome 2 is gone ages ago
[16:11] <crolax> teh_augmenter, Gnome 3 is much more productive for me...
[16:11] <teh_augmenter> Gentoo64, if it aint broke don't fix it
[16:11] <Gentoo64> well
[16:11] <talexb> I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 and trying to enable the Remote Desktop. And failing. I have no System menu, and don't see anything helpful in the Applications -> Other menu.
[16:11] <FSK> good day!
[16:11] <Gentoo64> you have to move to gnome 3 unless you want outdates system
[16:11] <talexb> I'd love to be able to see the System menu again ..
[16:11] <crolax> talexb, press the Windows key (next to Control-key) and type  "Remote"
[16:11] <talexb> http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/ubuntu-11-10-upgrade-missing-your-system-menu-preferences-administration-launchers/ doesn't help me.
[16:12] <Gateway`> hello guys, here is one the rules that I set on the gateway server : iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $ilan -s <IP_ADDRESS>/26 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
[16:12] <teh_augmenter> crolax, try opening up about 15GB for arch and sharing the home partition with ubuntu, your files will be located in the same spot and you can give it a shot
[16:12] <talexb> crolax, Nothing happened.
[16:12] <crolax> teh_augmenter, I've ran Arch for some time, still prefer Ubuntu's package system
[16:12] <Gateway`> normally all machines having an ip address between <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> have to pass by the squid server
[16:13] <crolax> talexb, did you install the default Ubuntu 11.10 desktop version?
[16:13] <FSK> i'm sorry to disturb but does anybody use backtrack?
[16:13] <LjL> !backtrack | FSK
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> FSK  type /join #backtrack-linux
[16:13] <talexb> crolax, I moved to the Gnome classic -- couldn't make head or tail out of Ubuntu One or whatever it was called.
[16:13] <oneliner> i guess with the new .15 generic all the people with realtek woes are going to return here for more, can someone update the realtek pains blog entry to reflect dkms usage?
[16:13] <FSK> thanks MonkeyDust
[16:14] <talexb> crolax, I have Applications and Places menus. I restarted my machine after the last update and I'm trying to restart the Remote Desktop thing.
[16:14] <crolax> talexb, Ubuntu One is a file-syncing service, you're looking for "Unity"; I first didn't like Unity too, but then I saw it works a lot faster
[16:14] <wdonkey> damnit
[16:14] <AFD> crolax: ~/.local/share/TPlogger/logs has the conversations stored from Empathy... are they not encrypted or something? will it "just work"?
[16:14] <crolax> AFD, give it a try
[16:14] <Gateway`> can somebody help please ?
[16:14] <Gentoo64> crolax: how long have you been getting screen corruption for?
[16:14] <teh_augmenter> crolax, that kind of corruption is probably the most annoying thing I've seen. is this a desktop?
[16:14] <Gentoo64> crolax: and when did you move from open to prop driver
[16:14] <Gateway`> or just give me his opinion about what I've said
[16:15] <rabbi1> my pidgin status doesn't change to Available from Away after when I come back ... ? confused ..
[16:15] <teh_augmenter> crolax, what output are you using? what resolution, refresh rate, etc
[16:15] <crolax> Gentoo64, teh_augmenter, got the corruption the minute I started using Gnome 3 Shell + fglrx
[16:15] <teh_augmenter> crolax, might be a driver issue with the refresh rate.
[16:15] <Gentoo64> crolax: sounds like some forumware issue, ive had similar before moving from nouveau to nvidia. leabe the prop driver on. power off the pc and turn the plug off
[16:15] <crolax> teh_augmenter, I think it's an issue independent of those things; the screenshot I showed you was just from a quick Google
[16:16] <Gentoo64> crolax: then hold the power button down for few secs to drain the power, and try again
[16:16] <Gentoo64> it might sort it
[16:16] <crolax> Gentoo64, I doubt that will do anything
[16:16] <talexb> crolax, Right, Unity. Didn't make sense to me. Gnome is fine, but I can't figure out what menu will allow me to enable remote desktop. I had it on before.
[16:16] <Gentoo64> crolax: try it
[16:16] <teh_augmenter> crolax, Gentoo64, it clears the resisters on the motherboard, it actually does do something
[16:16] <talexb> I'll do it from the command line if necessary.
[16:16] <Gentoo64> it fully drains the power yes
[16:16] <teh_augmenter> crolax, it also will clear out the resistors on the video card too
[16:17] <sweeet> Wireless problem: Before I can start to use WiFi with my USB-dongle I need to issue the command "sudo ip link set wlan0 up". How come this has te be done upon every reboot?
[16:17] <Gentoo64> capacitors you mean :)
[16:17] <teh_augmenter> Gentoo64, yeh mb
[16:17] <talexb> teh_augmenter, You probably mean caps (capacitors), not resistors.
[16:17] <teh_augmenter> Gentoo64, I've only ever tried that on a laptop
[16:17] <crolax> talexb, really, Unity works a lot faster; but you can always do Alt+F2 and run "vinagre"
[16:17] <tortib> how do I add a static IP address to my eth0?  I edited /etc/network/interfaces with this article i found but it caused my network interfaces to no longer come up when i ran /etc/init.d/networking restart
[16:17] <tortib> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-ipv6-networking-configuration/
[16:17] <tortib> sorry static ipv6 IP
[16:17] <psychognite> sweet u cn make this run fstab file
[16:17] <Explodingpiglets> .ns identify sagittariusahasaneventhorizonthatmeasuresinlightyears
[16:17] <Gentoo64> well the screen corruption happened to me like i said, going from nouveau to nvidia
[16:18] <Explodingpiglets> crap
[16:18] <Gentoo64> and i drained the power and it sorted it
[16:18] <Gateway`> is there a channel that can help with iptables issues ?
[16:18] <crolax> Gateway`, #networking
[16:18] <LjL> Gateway`: #netfilter
[16:18] <LjL> i guess
[16:18] <Gateway`> crolax, thanks
[16:18] <housam> hello
[16:18] <teh_augmenter> Gentoo64, when you do that on a desktop do you have to switch off the power supply?
[16:18] <crolax> teh_augmenter, I know that it does something, but not something that would help resolve this
[16:18] <d3ngar> Help, my laptop's screen is dead during boot and even thereafter!
[16:18] <Gentoo64> no juts unplug it or turn the wall switch off
[16:18] <d3ngar> What can I do?
[16:18] <teh_augmenter> Gentoo64, like I said, only did that on a laptop
[16:19] <teh_augmenter> Gentoo64, that works
[16:19] <teh_augmenter> crolax, its worth a try imo, that limits it to strictly software after that
[16:19] <teh_augmenter> crolax, it could be mixed data in the card, that should clear it out
[16:19] <crolax> teh_augmenter, well, for the sake of completeness I'll give it a try
[16:20] <teh_augmenter> crolax, only should take a minute anyway
[16:21] <teh_augmenter> crolax, I g2g now, wish you luck!
[16:21] <housam> hello
[16:21] <tortib> how do I add a static ipv6 IP address to my eth0?  I edited /etc/network/interfaces with this article i found but it caused my network interfaces to no longer come up when i ran /etc/init.d/networking restart
[16:21] <housam> how r u
[16:21] <d3ngar> where does Ubuntu 11.10 store the xorg.conf nowadays?
[16:21] <tortib> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-ipv6-networking-configuration/
[16:21] <Gentoo64> d3ngar: it doesnt it autodetects
[16:21] <LjL> d3ngar: still /etc/X11 as always, it's just empty by default
[16:22] <Gentoo64> d3ngar: you can manually add one and it overrides
[16:23] <Gentoo64> tortib: use network manager
[16:23] <tortib> I don't have physical access to the box
[16:23] <Gentoo64> tortib: mhm hang on

[16:29] <pip__> hi, I'm running 11.10 mini + Ice WM on a Crusoe 1GHz cpu.  How does this work?  I thought the Crusoe was i586 & nothing after 10.04 would work properly.  Not that I'm complaining as it works quite well.  My next question would be: Would it be worth going back to 10.04? (although I'd only get one more year of support)
[16:29] <scoates> hello. on 11.04-server, when I have a (virtual) machine crash (without a proper shutdown), grub stalls at the menu. Is there an easy way for me to make grub just load the default kernel, always?
[16:29] <d3ngar> Maybe it's a Kernel update related issue?
[16:30] <d3ngar> How can I select the default Kernel to boot?

[16:33] <tortib> thx
[16:34] <d3ngar> Using Synaptic, is it right to remove all the linux-generic package?
[16:34] <Gentoo64> d3ngar: whats the actual problem?
[16:34] <tortib> Gentoo64: and that works whenever you do /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[16:34] <Gentoo64> tortib: yes
[16:34] <tortib> ok thanks
[16:35] <d3ngar> The laptop's main screen does not work. It's recognised, but I can't use it
[16:35] <d3ngar> Gentoo64: pretty useless for a laptop
[16:35] <d3ngar> Gentoo64: I need to take it later and I can't even boot into recovery
[16:35] <Gentoo64> you could do it from livecd
[16:35] <Gentoo64> whatever it is you want to do
[16:35] <d3ngar> Gentoo64: because as soon as the BIOS boot sequence is over, the GRUB menu is not displayed
[16:36] <d3ngar> Gentoo64: I think of using Synaptic to remove the last Kernel update 3.0.0-15
[16:36] <d3ngar> And just use and earlier version that worked
[16:36] <Gentoo64> hm i really dont know
[16:36] <d3ngar> okay
[16:36] <d3ngar> I try my luck
[16:37] <scoates> ah, I see. in /etc/grub.d/00_header

[16:47] <savant> just doing some preplanning for server installation
[16:48] <auronandace> savant: 2.7 is there by default
[16:48] <savant> ah sweet, so no extra song and dance?
[16:48] <savant> what about pip?
[16:48] <samrat> how do i edit the grub menu?
[16:49] <auronandace> savant: no idea what pip is
[16:49] <savant> it's a dependency management tool for python packages
[16:49] <mang0> eugh! I just entered root nautilus with gksudo nautilus, and it changed my wallpaper back to default ubuntu (purple thingy stuff). I can't seem to change it back!
[16:50] <auronandace> savant: unless it is part of python 2.7 i doubt its there
[16:50] <daulity> how do i set a network interface to share? like shared to other computers
[16:51] <savant> auronandace: had someone check for me, apparently not
[16:51] <savant> auronandace: thanks for your help though :)
[16:51] <samrat> where can I find grub menu.lst?

[16:53] <auronandace> samrat: instead you edit the files in /etc/grub.d
[16:53] <LjL> or just /etc/default/grub for some things
[16:54] <d3ngar> auronandace: Can I somehow force to load a different kernel?
[16:54] <mang0> How do I restart nautilus?
[16:54] <d3ngar> auronandance: I don't know if you read my earlier messages, but I have a major problem with my screen
[16:54] <auronandace> d3ngar: if you edit grub, sure
[16:54] <samrat> auronandace: I want to edit the GRUB menu, whuch file do I need to edit?
[16:54] <jnylen> no one knows how to tell what program has Mod4+X mapped?
[16:55] <mega2> how do i list all partictions
[16:55] <auronandace> samrat: what do you want to do exactly?
[16:55] <LjL> mega2: sudo fdisk -l /dev/drivename
[16:55] <auronandace> mega2: mount
[16:55] <samrat> auronandace: I want to add another OS to the boot list
[16:56] <auronandace> samrat: then you edit one of the files in /etc/grub.d
[16:56] <samrat> auronandace: which file exactly?
[16:56] <auronandace> samrat: if grub-update doesn't add it automatically
[16:56] <auronandace> samrat: what OS are you adding?
[16:57] <samrat> I'm trying to install Arch
[16:57] <auronandace> samrat: a simple grub-update would add it automatically
[16:58] <auronandace> samrat: sudo grub-update
[16:58] <LjL> auronandace: i think you mean update-grub
[16:58] <auronandace> samrat: or sudo update-grub (i never remember which way around it is)
[16:59] <samrat>  auronandace: ah, thanks
[16:59] <auronandace> samrat: no worries :) (happy arch user too)

[17:00] <dat0m> hey, I just tried to boot into kubuntu from a live cd (I bought the original CD) on my XPS 17, but it failed, it loaded for a while, then it just hang up and nothing else happened. I tried with normal ubuntu from usb too, it hangs up too, with SCPI error (or something like that)
[17:00] <dat0m> does anybody use ubuntu/kubuntu on the XPS 17?
[17:01] <ikonia> dat0m: I do on a xps 13
[17:01] <gulzar> auronandace: Arch?
[17:01] <dat0m> ikonia, did you have any problems while booting the livecd/installer?
[17:01] <auronandace> gulzar: yes
[17:02] <ikonia> nope
[17:02] <gulzar> auronandace: me too
[17:02] <dat0m> weird, it doesn't even boot for me
[17:03] <dat0m> what could I do? I don't want to be on windows only :P
[17:03] <gulzar> dat0m: do media check
[17:03] <dat0m> well, I'm downloading debian via unetbootin now
[17:04] <dat0m> gulzar, what do you mean by media check?
[17:04] <mang0> How do I restart X?
[17:04] <mdob> how to update libc.so.6?
[17:04] <zalgor> Hello. When updating a package, ubuntu detects changed configuration files. Is there a hash stored somewhere?
[17:04] <mega2> disk /dev/sda1 doesn't contain a valid partition table how do i create one and format it
[17:04] <gulzar> dat0m: Ok./. you have live cd.. lets see
[17:04] <LjL> mega2: /dev/sda1 is a partition, not a disk
[17:04] <dat0m> gulzar, I'll reboot now
[17:05] <auronandace> mang0: by restarting gdm or lightdm
[17:05] <dat0m> with debian
[17:05] <dat0m> brb
[17:05] <gulzar> dat0m: Ok
[17:05] <gulzar> mega2: for formatting use gparted or gnome-disk-utility but /sda1 is a partition not a disk
[17:05] <mang0> auronandace: Ty
[17:06] <mega2> i do know that but when i looked at it thats what it told me how do i format it
[17:06] <SPRINGNULL> hola  a todos
[17:06] <LjL> !es | SPRINGNULL
[17:08] <LjL> mega2: /dev/sda1 should *not* contain a partition table, because it *is* a partition. what did you type exactly?
[17:09] <mega2> sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda1
[17:09] <LjL> mega2: well that's wrong. i told you to put a *drive* name there, not a *partition* name
[17:09] <LjL> mega2: so, sudo fdisk -k /dev/sda
[17:09] <LjL> err
[17:09] <LjL> mega2: so, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[17:09] <LjL> not -k
[17:12] <mega2> its giving me a list of 3 partitions
[17:12] <LjL> mega2: then those are the partitions on your /dev/sda drive.
[17:12] <mega2> sda1,sda2,sda5
[17:14] <d3ngar> Is there a way of booting into an older kernel?
[17:14] <LjL> d3ngar: sure, as long as that older kernel is or can be installed. just select it from the GRUB boot menu.
[17:14] <oCean> d3ngar: sure, hold shift during boot, this will bring up the grub menu, then choose your kernel
[17:15] <guilhermeba> Someone is Xiphos Bible software user in Ubuntu 11.10?
[17:15] <d3ngar> LjL: I can't access the Grub menu during boot
[17:15] <LjL> d3ngar: why not?
[17:15] <d3ngar> LjL: Can I somehow select it as the default option
[17:15] <d3ngar> LjL: Since the kernel update the laptop screen DOES NOT work
[17:15] <LjL> d3ngar: yeah you can change the default in /etc/default/grub
[17:15] <d3ngar> Sorry caps
[17:15] <LjL> d3ngar: but GRUB runs *before* the kernel even starts.
[17:16] <LjL> d3ngar: so that should be irrelevant.
[17:16] <auronandace> !info xiphos | guilhermeba
[17:16] <d3ngar> LjL: So I thought too
[17:16] <d3ngar> LjL; But it's the only thing that has changed
[17:16] <d3ngar> Why does the screen not work anymore?
[17:16] <imbezol> if it truly doesn't work.. it has nothing to do with the kernel
[17:16] <imbezol> otherwise, your grub is perhaps not loading properly
[17:17] <d3ngar> imbezol: It truly does only show green lines after the bios sequence
[17:17] <d3ngar> Green lines during grub menu
[17:17] <d3ngar> If I press a key it doesn't continue
[17:17] <OerHeks> d3ngar, just hold left-shift @ boot to enter grubmenu
[17:17] <imbezol> may have to boot off a rescue cd and install grub again
[17:17] <d3ngar> OerHeks: I have the grub menu on by default
[17:18] <d3ngar> imbezol: But once the screen passes, everything is fine and it continues to boot
[17:18] <d3ngar> The second (attached) screen goes on at the log-in screen
[17:18] <imbezol> well if your bios menu works your screen is obviously working
[17:18] <d3ngar> imbezol: I just can't enable it in Linux
[17:18] <d3ngar> So I thought
[17:19] <d3ngar> And Grub is fine, since it boots up without issues
[17:19] <d3ngar> Just I can't take the attached screen with me
[17:19] <d3ngar> And I need to have the laptop with me
[17:19] <d3ngar> I'm going away now for three days
[17:20] <d3ngar> imbezol: I don't think the screen is recognised correctly
[17:20] <imbezol> boot the old kernel
[17:20] <d3ngar> Is there something I can do before Grub loads?
[17:21] <d3ngar> Where was the setting for the default kernel again?
[17:21] <jd_user_23234> hello!
[17:21] <oCean> d3ngar: /etc/default/grub
[17:21] <IDWMaster> I'm working on developing a new P2P social network program for Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac. Where would be the best place to host the code for this project? Should I put it on Launchpad, or GitHub?
[17:21] <oCean> d3ngar: choose the menuentry you need (default it's 0) from the command  grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[17:21] <jd_user_23234> is there any command line app which can give me the process id from window id?
[17:21] <auronandace> IDWMaster: not really a ubuntu support question
[17:22] <LjL> IDWMaster: try asking the people in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:22] <IDWMaster> OK. Thanks
[17:22] <delac> I'm doing "sudo tcpdump -w capture.log" which of course creates a log file only readable by root. Any way to do the capture to normal user readable file without using chown afterwards?
[17:23] <d3ngar> OCean: should be 3, yes?
[17:23] <d3ngar> Just count?
[17:23] <ikonia> delac: not really, you are running the process as root, it will write as root
[17:23] <Sach> How do I copy my Firefox history and bookmarks from one computer running Ubuntu 11.04 to another running the same?
[17:23] <imbezol> delac: you can set the umask
[17:24] <oCean> d3ngar: yes, but start at 0, so it might be 3rd entry, which is actually 2  (0,1,2)
[17:24] <d3ngar> got it
[17:27] <NimeshNeema> Oh...
[17:27] <NimeshNeema> So Ubuntu got this Mac style Expose. Lovin it
[17:27] <NimeshNeema> Just hold WinKey + W (Make good use of that Windows key) ;-)
[17:27] <Sach> How do I copy my Firefox history and bookmarks from one computer running Ubuntu 11.04 to another running the same?
[17:27] <MonkeyDust> Sach  Bookmarks > unsorted > import and backup > export bookmarks
[17:28] <h00k> NimeshNeema: you mean the 'Super' key ;)
[17:28] <NimeshNeema> Sach: use export import feature in bookmarks manager
[17:28] <h00k> Sach: you can also use Ubuntu One to keep them in sync
[17:28] <NimeshNeema> h00k: didn't knew it waz callled super key (wrong name neways)
[17:28] <Sach> Monkeydust  Is that only to backup my bookmarks?  what about my browsing history?
[17:29] <h00k> NimeshNeema: it is :)
[17:29] <NimeshNeema> Sach: copy folder configuration settings directory
[17:29] <MonkeyDust> Sach  can't say
[17:29] <mang0> I'm trying to stop my mounted volumes appearing on the desktop, using gconf-editor >> apps >> nautilus >> desktop >> volumes_visible [FALSE] but they're still there? I've tried logging out, same thing.
[17:29] <NimeshNeema> h00k: thanks buddy
[17:30] <Sach> nimeshneema  where do i find the configuration settings directory?
[17:30] <MonkeyDust> mang0  i guess you need dconf
[17:30] <NimeshNeema> Sach: it's a hidden directory (probably under ur home directory)
[17:30] <mang0> MonkeyDust: Wassat?
[17:30] <NimeshNeema> Sach: let some kinder, more knowledgeable soul
[17:31] <NimeshNeema> answer

[17:34] <h00k> user1: I lied, I don't use 'hibernate,' rather 'suspend'

[17:34] <o67pc> Hi people
[17:35] <o67pc> I have an Dell Inspiron N4050 the other name is Dell Inspiron 14
[17:35] <jd_user_23234> o67pc: hi! :)
[17:35] <trism> Sach: should work, I would make sure to back up your bookmarks first as suggested above just in case
[17:35] <o67pc> And the bluetooth isn't working
[17:35] <Sach> trism  ok, thanks!  so will that copy both my bookmarks, browsing history, saved passwords etc ?
[17:35] <user1> h00k: well its asus 1215B. does it atleast suspend and wakeup so that i can cover that blinking with a cloth and sleep
[17:35] <trism> Sach: yes, everything should be stored there
[17:35] <Sach> trism  you rock!  Thanks!
[17:36] <h00k> user1: my suspend/resume works great, but as I said, I suppose it depends on the model. I have an Asus EEE, also an XPS M1500, also a Dell E1505 that it works with
[17:36] <o67pc> When I buy it, the first thing I do is install ubuntu, when I installing when the files get copy, the bluetooth was worked.
[17:36] <h00k> user1: give it a try, maybe even from a USB drive to tes tit.
[17:36] <o67pc> I install
[17:36] <h00k> user1: *test it.
[17:36] <o67pc> and not worked anymore, I put the pendrive for installation again but don't work (I have run it on live CD, i not format the disk)
[17:37] <user1> h00k: is it fixed recently. i mean i haven't apt-get update for a month now. do you have any links where they say its fixed?
[17:37] <o67pc> Now, the icon of bluetooth appears,
[17:37] <h00k> user1: I guess it was never 'broken' for me, but kernel upgrades should probably help.
[17:37] <o67pc> I click to shutdown bluetooth, I click to "shutup" bluetooth
[17:37] <Lemon|mbp> i'm about to update my cherokee install (1.2.*) that i installed with apt-get to 1.3 from source
[17:37] <Lemon|mbp> any things i have to look out for?
[17:37] <o67pc> and nothing returns
[17:37] <Lemon|mbp> doing sudo apt-get remove cherokee would be enough to remove everything?
[17:38] <o67pc> Someones know what is it?
[17:38] <theadmin> Lemon|mbp: Yes. Use checkinstall and do "sudo apt-get --purge remove cherokee"
[17:38] <borudev> Hello, how is everyone? I had a quick question troubleshooting my ubuntu 11.10 server installation. I installed the same OS on 2 different servers and I'm experiencing the same problem. What happens is I turn on the server, it's ok for few hours, and then when I try to SSH to it, it get a time out, when I plug in the keyboard, and type something then I can connect to it again. Seems that it's
[17:38] <borudev> going to some kind of sleep mode. Note, no desktop was installed just pure server OS. Anyone had this issue before? what could cause it? Thanks
[17:39] <user1> h00k: also how's ur firefox youtube performance on EEE. mine just crashes on windows and ubuntu. dont know if CPU is overheating due to fan dust or whatever. also have you tried cleaning the fan

[17:40] <borudev> MonkeyDust, thanks ill check that out
[17:41] <user1> h00k: i think mine is fan problem. for even videos of 480p on firefox it crashes and system is off.
[17:42] <h00k> user1: It may be overheating, yeah. Try something else that may burden your CPU/Fan a bit too

[18:31] <cmmurray> weird.
[18:32] <GleasonGrails> MrWhistler I am pretty sure that is just the generic compiz project at this point I think Emerald and such are still extensions
[18:32] <Ivoz> MrWhistler: fusion doesn't exist anymore
[18:33] <MrWhistler> okay cool
[18:33] <sidney> How do I take ownership of a usb drive?
[18:33] <OerHeks> dat0m, look at bumblebee 3.0
[18:33] <Ivoz> Nephy: you can usually find a GUI tool to change screen res for you
[18:35] <Rancid8700> ciao a tutti
[18:35] <ubuntu_nooblet> Hello guys, I have been down a pretty deep rabbit hole here. Hoping someone can pull me back out...
[18:36] <Hopugop> Can somebody please help me? I'm currently having a problem with Ubuntu 11.10 64x. After appling some updates, sometimes when I hit alt+tab Unity goes crazy and sometime even stops responding (most of times it only restarts). My keyboard dies as well and I can't even get to the terminal (control+alt+f1). The mouse and applications keep working correctly though.
[18:36] <ubuntu_nooblet> First problem was that I can't remember the password, 2nd issue is apparantly there was no GKSU or GKSUDO provided with 11.04 so I can't even follow the instructions I have here.
[18:37] <ubuntu_nooblet> I downloaded the gksu-2.0.2.tar.gz and extracted it.... don't see anything with GKSU that is runnable, just opens a text file when I double click it
[18:37] <dat0m> OerHeks, how does i work?
[18:37] <dat0m> *it
[18:37] <dat0m> OerHeks, I don't even get into the install wizard
[18:37] <Tixos> hi
[18:37] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: You need to use apt-get to install gksu... And Ubuntu DOES come with it.
[18:37] <ubuntu_nooblet> when I load my LiveUbuntu gnome, and mount & hit alt+F2 and type "gksu nautilus" it says file not found
[18:37] <Tixos> what updates just broke my UNITY bar? some updates within the last week just broken CCSM?
[18:38] <theadmin> !password | ubuntu_nooblet
[18:38] <ubuntu_nooblet> gksudo nautilus does the same thing, ok
[18:38] <OerHeks> dat0m, i don't own one, but the optimus support is growing https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[18:38] <dat0m> OerHeks, "open a terminal", not possible
[18:38] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_nooblet: What version of Ubuntu are you using? You almost never want to "install" something from tar.gz, certainly not gksu.
[18:38] <OerHeks> dat0m, open terminal ctrl + alt + T
[18:39] <dat0m> OerHeks, no
[18:39] <dat0m> OerHeks, I have windows pre-installed
[18:39] <dat0m> and can't boot ANY linux
[18:39] <dat0m> it hangs up
[18:39] <Tixos> lol stfu !
[18:40] <ubuntu_nooblet> theadmin can you describe real quick the app-get command to install it? I have been on this for so long not sure I have time to read that
[18:40] <theadmin> Tixos: Get out if you don't want to listen.
[18:40] <oCean> Tixos: such language is not acceptable here
[18:40] <dat0m> Tixos, are you talking to me? Because, if you do, please highlight me :P
[18:40] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: sudo apt-get install gksu
[18:40] <ubuntu_nooblet> ty!
[18:40] <Tixos> funny
[18:40] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: But you need your password for that...
[18:40] <marcin_1988> witam
[18:40] <Tixos> theadmin: what recently broken CCSM
[18:40] <Tixos> the unity bar sucked before, i fixed it by removing reveal, no its hiding itself again
[18:41] <ubuntu_nooblet> I dont think I set a password, but system disagrees. I already deleted the keychain but I can't use cheesebooth webcam without the master password. I know I either put "a" or "123" or blank or mirrored the username but those didn't work
[18:41] <theadmin> Tixos: Well I have no idea about Unity, I don't use that stuff. I don't use Compiz, either... And not even Ubuntu. So, can't really help there if it's something really recent.
[18:42] <Tixos> hmm ok
[18:42] <Tixos> kinda sucks :(
[18:42] <theadmin> Tixos: Wait for someone else I guess
[18:42] <irule> I upgraded to latest stable, now I have 14 GB disk use, how may I reduce that?
[18:42] <Tixos> pretty sure i didnt notice anything related that i updated, just kernel to *.15
[18:42] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: Oh, that. It's asking for your login password most likely.
[18:43] <ubuntu_nooblet> pretty sure I left it blank unless ubuntu installer didn't allow that
[18:43] <ubuntu_nooblet> used 11.04 gnome
[18:43] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: It doesn't allow blank passwords.
[18:43] <ubuntu_nooblet> then I used the most basic allowed. Do you know the requirements?
[18:43] <dat0m> can somebody please help me?
[18:43] <Tixos> 4chars or something
[18:43] <dat0m> I need linux
[18:43] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: Yeah, basically anything that's longer than 0 symbols xD But... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[18:43] <dat0m> or at least bsd
[18:43] <dat0m> I need something unix based
[18:43] <theadmin> dat0m: That doesn't even make sense.
[18:44] <Tixos> dat0m: i was polite before, whats your mess with windows effecting your install
[18:44] <Tixos> its stupid
[18:44] <ubuntu_nooblet> i tried 1234 and sagar and Sagar (username) but those didn't work
[18:44] <ubuntu_nooblet> can't imagine what else i would have put....
[18:44] <dat0m> Tixos, hm?
[18:44] <Tixos> ubuntu_nooblet:  are you actually asking us to tell you your own password?
[18:44] <dat0m> theadmin, it doesn't?
[18:44] <dat0m> theadmin, I can't boot any linux distro, it just hangs up
[18:44] <dat0m> that doesn't make sense?
[18:44] <ubuntu_nooblet> It takes like 10 minutes for this live cd to boot. Do I need to load from the hard drive?
[18:45] <theadmin> dat0m: ...doesn't indeed, because it's totally weird
[18:45] <ubuntu_nooblet> don't want to leave this live unless I have to
[18:45] <revolt> I can help
[18:45] <Tixos> dat0m: what are you on about, how are you booting it ?
[18:45] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: To recover your password? Yes, you need to be on live.
[18:45] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: That, or recovery mode, doesn't really matter
[18:45] <revolt> burn the distro at the lowest speed 4.0x it will pick
[18:46] <ubuntu_nooblet> ok I'm there, ran that sudo command you told me and nothing happened. gksu still says not found
[18:46] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: Eh, well, not the problem right now, what we want right now is chroot into your installed OS and change your password.
[18:46] <Semidios> does anyone know why Ubuntu 11.10 can see AFP shares in nautilus?
[18:46] <ubuntu_nooblet> its looking in home/linux/gksu for the file and can't find it
[18:47] <Tixos> man i cant deal with these questions lol, good luck theadmin :P
[18:47] <ubuntu_nooblet> its actually on the desktop I just extracted it
[18:47] <Tixos> ill come back later :)
[18:47] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: It won't be there...
[18:47] <tcheck8> hi everyone i'm having some trouble with generating ssl certificates. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSSL <-- i'm following the directions here but as soon as i try to even create the first directories i receive a permissions error. i don't think the command was meant to be run as sudo, either.
[18:47] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: Ugh, never mind, look, I can't really help you right now >.< Sorry.
[18:47] <ubuntu_nooblet> what directory is it in?
[18:47] <ubuntu_nooblet> all i need is to open nautilus with root access
[18:48] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: /usr/bin of course, like any other binary
[18:48] <ubuntu_nooblet> k ill try that
[18:48] <rambaho> freenode
[18:49] <geekster_> hi
[18:49] <geekster_> how can I send mail with ubuntu server?
[18:49] <theadmin> geekster_: Using your own mail server or a public one?
[18:49] <tdn> Ok. so here's the problem. I accidentially deleted my /etc/fstab. How do I recreate it?
[18:50] <geekster_> postfix tries to connect to port 25, mail server at port 587
[18:50] <tcheck8> would anyone be able to help me through the process of generating an self signed ssl cert for my server? i'm running into permissions issues where i dont think there should be any
[18:50] <geekster_> theadmin: nope, public one. telnet works there
[18:50] <theadmin> geekster_: Try a mail client then :P
[18:50] <theadmin> geekster_: mutt is a good one
[18:51] <ubuntu_nooblet> I'm in usr/bin and hit Alt+f2 and typed "gksu nautilus" then it says "Could not open location 'file:///home/linux/gksu%20/nautilus'
[18:51] <geekster_> theadmin: but I wanna use like sendmail :p
[18:51] <oCean> tcheck8: just so you know, there's #ubuntu-server channel, with specific server help, might find more help there
[18:51] <theadmin> geekster_: Err, uh, I don't think sendmail works that way... Not sure
[18:51] <tcheck8> oh, thanks! didn't know about that.
[18:51] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: That doesn't make sense... You need to install gksu... "sudo apt-get install gksu". From a TERMINAL, not Alt+F2.
[18:52] <geekster_> theadmin: yes it works, got it working some time ago with different server, but now can't remember how I did it...
[18:52] <tdn> That is not really what I need. What I need is to recreate fstab on a running system. By either dumpung /proc/mtab or manually parsing 'mount' or something like that. The system is still running.
[18:53] <theadmin> tdn: Then do exactly what you said, look at the output of "mount" and write an fstab respectively.
[18:53] <ubuntu_nooblet> thanks, but now it says sudo: apt-get: command not found
[18:54] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: Err... You're not using Ubuntu.
[18:54] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: And that means we can't support you here.
[18:54] <tdn> theadmin, I need to figure out uuid's for disks and such things.
[18:54] <tdn> Not sure how.
[18:54] <ubuntu_nooblet> I have gnome Terminal, Linux 32-bit Terminal, and Xterm
[18:54] <theadmin> tdn: blkid for that...
[18:54] <ubuntu_nooblet> I thought gnome was ubuntu
[18:54] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: ...Gnome IS used in Ubuntu, although it's not the same thing as Ubuntu.
[18:55] <xangua> ubuntu_nooblet: try: "sudo" instead of "sudo:"
[18:55] <ubuntu_nooblet> This was installed from an Ubuntu install disc label 11.04...
[18:55] <theadmin> xangua: That didn't make any sense just now. "sudo: blah: command not found" is the usual output of "sudo blah".
[18:56] <theadmin> xangua: If he was using "sudo:", he'd get "bash: sudo: command not found"
[18:56] <theadmin> xangua: :P
[18:56] <ubuntu_nooblet> If 'sudo:' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf sudo:
[18:56] <theadmin> err, even "sudo:: command not found"
[18:56] <oCean> tdn: I pasted example fstab at http://paste.ubuntu.com/814570/   use command  sudo blkid  to list the UUID of your partitions
[18:56] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: You are using SuSE, not Ubuntu, okay?...
[18:56] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: Only SuSE gives messages like those. Ask in their support channel...
[18:56] <ubuntu_nooblet> alrigth thanks I'll see if I can find an IRC for that.
[18:57] <theadmin> ubuntu_nooblet: Is #suse (on Freenode)
[18:57] <DuncanT> Hi. Is it possible to turn off the remote host fingerprint check using a command line option to ssh? I'm really hoping to avoid using expect here
[18:57] <ubuntu_nooblet> this is weird tho because when I burned this disc I know I was looking for latest Ubuntu and at the time was told 11.04
[18:57] <tdn> oCean, thanks.
[18:58] <cristian_c> Hi
[18:59] <ssta> DuncanT: you can have it add the keys to known_hosts automatically, but I don't think you can turn the checking off entirely
[19:00] <DuncanT> ssta: Adding automatically would be fine
[19:00] <ubuntu_nooblet> thanks for being patient.
[19:00] <DuncanT> ssta: I'm poking newly-created vms, and I can just clear known_hosts later
[19:00] <ssta> DuncanT: set StrictHostKeyChecking to "no" in ~/.ssh/config I think (that's from memory, so check the manpage for ssh_config to make sure I'm remembering correctly)
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> ssta: maybe in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?
[19:02] <ssta> ActionParsnip: no, it's a client thing, not a server thing
[19:02] <DuncanT> ssta: Ah ha, that can also be done with "-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no"... adding to that the "-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null" I'd already found and I've won
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> ssta: ahh
[19:02] <DuncanT> Cheers :-)
[19:02] <Titanoboa> Oh hi
[19:02] <cristian_c> I installed Lazarus, but when I open it or open a project. lpi I got errors. The problem is due to not installing some components. I downloaded bgrabitmap and I ran the steps to install the .lpk file in the package. I've compiled through its lazarus window reached by one of its menu, but after it completed the installation of the component it has failed and an error box appeared. The popup window says: 'The package b
[19:03] <Tixos> seriously, this is doing my head in, how can i lock this unity bar as active
[19:03] <Tixos> without any stupid applications that get broken with package updates
[19:04] <Titanoboa> I've been trying to install VMware on my (ubuntu 11.04) and it gives me an error when trying to open the installer
[19:04] <Titanoboa> (what i need is windows 98 on my computer)
[19:04] <dat0m> Tixos, btw, "stfu" doesn't sound very nice to me :P
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Tixos: active in what sense?
[19:04] <cristian_c> I clicked Yes, and I think it did not seem to have happened at all. But then all the lazarus windows have gone to freeze not showing more their content. Finally, the program is closed, but then reopened. But reopening continued to require automatic lazarus components despite I had just installed one. How do I understand something more? Did something go wrong in the installation of the component?
[19:04] <Tixos> always shown ActionParsnip
[19:04] <sidney> why dosen't this work sudo chown sidney: /media/Music/backup
[19:04] <Tixos> dat0m: deal with it ;)
[19:04] <sidney> no such file or dir
[19:05] <ssta> Titanoboa: "an error"?  What error?
[19:05] <Tixos> ive previously used CCSM, gconf and such, but i just updated some packages from repos, and its broke :O
[19:05] <ssfdre38> sidney, you dont have a group so do sudo chown sidney:sidney /media/Music/backup
[19:05] <Titanoboa> ssta: hold on, i'll reproduce it and give you the error
[19:05] <dat0m> Tixos, also, does "mess with windows" mean "windows sucks badly and is useless"?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Tixos: afaik you set it in ccsm. There is also the tool myunity which may help
[19:05] <oCean> Tixos: don't tell others to 'deal with' your attitude. There are clear channel guidelines, you have to deal with those
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> dat0m: wi
[19:06] <Tixos> oCean: respond to me in PM if you have an issue, thanks.
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> dat0m: windows has uses
[19:06] <Titanoboa> ssta: http://pastebin.com/tjHdRQwq
[19:06] <dat0m> well, if it does, it's not true. I fully support linux, but windows is also pretty good
[19:06] <dat0m> it has the best driver support, for example
[19:06] <dat0m> it works out-of-the-box
[19:06] <Tixos> ActionParsnip: yea CCSM unity plugin doesnt work with some package updates from the last few days...  i know im a bit early but cmon.. this should be default settings, not a 3rd party app ?
[19:06] <dat0m> it's best for gaming
[19:07] <oCean> Tixos: if you wish to discuss channel rules, you're welcome in #ubuntu-ops. If you don't want to follow our channel guidelines, you'll find yourself outside the channel soon enough
[19:07] <ssta> Titanoboa: umm, that's the windows installer for vmware, you need the linux installer
[19:07] <dat0m> would you play games with opengl? lol :P
[19:07] <Tixos> oCean: quit moaning.
[19:07] <Titanoboa> ssta Oh I see :D
[19:07] <dat0m> well, brb
[19:07] <Tixos> ego maniac
[19:07] <linuxnewb> speaking of gaming
[19:07] <Titanoboa> ssta: why does linux have so be so picky??? just swallow the windows installer plz :<<<
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> dat0m: try playing games marked as garbage in winehq app list. Then try on windows
[19:07] <ssta> Titanoboa: Windows wouldn't use the Linux installer either.
[19:07] <linuxnewb> how the hell do i get wow to run ubuntu? i snagged wine, but it keeps crashing
[19:07] <Titanoboa> ssta: I'll try to find it, thanks for the help :P
[19:08] <Titanoboa> it's supposed to be for linux though. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5391426/VMware-server-1.0.8-126538_%28old_free-version_server_for_linux%29
[19:08] <Titanoboa> :<
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Tixos: if it works, who cares. Ubuntu is made of 3rd party apps
[19:09] <ssta> Titanoboa: umm...not a good idea to say that you pirated it here...
[19:09] <ssta> Titanoboa: why not use virtualbox?
[19:09] <christian__> hello my friends
[19:09] <ssta> Titanoboa: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[19:09] <Titanoboa> (i reached that "torrent" by googling and it doesn't look illegal does it? it's just a free version)
[19:09] <mrlee121> hey guys,
[19:09] <Titanoboa> ssta: okay if that's good i'll do that!
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> linuxnewb: did you check the appdb? There is an extensive howto there
[19:10] <linuxnewb> ?
[19:10] <christian__> i have a question, i need to mount /mnt/analysis    because a program wants to mount this directory, but i dont need it to be mounted to a remote fielsystem or whatever, it really doenst matter where the dir. lies, so i would like to mount the dir. to a local direcotry inside the same OS, is that possible ?
[19:10] <mrlee121> is there anywhere that people could recomend i could go the get a bit of advice for a beginner without having the shit ripped outta me?
[19:10] <christian__> i know, that is not what mount is used for
[19:10] <oCean> mrlee121: control your language here, please
[19:10] <xangua> !language | mrlee121
[19:10] <xangua> a very vague question also
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> linuxnewb: i can't phrase it any better
[19:10] <christian__> but it wasnt my idea that there is no option implemented to work without mounted directoies
[19:11] <mrlee121> oh sorry,
[19:11] <linuxnewb> yeah i did
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> mrlee121: just ask what you gotta ask
[19:11] <linuxnewb> followed all the directions and still nothing
[19:11] <mrlee121> oh okay thanks
[19:11] <christian__> short question is it possible to "mount /mnt/dir1 /mnt/dir2" ???
[19:11] <NastyNaz> guys ive been configuring a server as root and ive been told its bad, how do I add another user and log in as them?
[19:11] <mrlee121> well i was setting up a ubuntu server here at home
[19:11] <mrlee121> had everything pointing and working fine with a domain
[19:11] <Aelingil> How can you access the CLI from Grub?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> mrlee121: i'd use a symlink
[19:12] <mrlee121> i shut down the machine and added a new hard drive
[19:12] <NastyNaz> also how do I run commands as different users? I got one called 'deluge' and I want to log in but its a system user
[19:12] <mrlee121> now nothings showing to the WAN but nothings changed in any of my firewall settings and the machine is still in the dmz
[19:12] <mrlee121> but i only get local access and cant access it via the domain
[19:12] <mrlee121> just wondered if i'd missed a startup command or something like that
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Aelingil: you can add the boot option: text    or boot root recovery mode
[19:12] <ssfdre38> mrlee121, did your ip address change?
[19:13] <mrlee121> Nope, it's still the same
[19:13] <ssta> NastyNaz: sudo -u username someCommand
[19:13] <n3urOn_> if im to check if i got java installed, java -version should be right?
[19:13] <mrlee121> thats the first thing i checked
[19:13] <NastyNaz> ssta: cheers
[19:13] <ssfdre38> mrlee121, static ip?
[19:13] <rambaho> hi
[19:13] <mrlee121> Yeah it's static
[19:13] <franz__> Hi, how to create Windows Xp usb installler?
[19:14] <franz__> mrlee121: I'm in KDE
[19:14] <mrlee121> the ubuntu machine was litterally off for 2-3 minutes and when it's come back on the domain aint connecting anymore and i cant get any wan access to it. only local
[19:14] <ssfdre38> mrlee121, use /notice to tell me the ip address so i can ping it to still if its still live
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> linuxnewb: i'd ask in #winehq  its more specific to your issue
[19:15] <mrlee121> i've pinged it myself from another server and it's timing out
[19:15] <wdonkey> im trying to get rid of the password prompting. im in the visudo tool in a terminal, modified the string that i had to, now how the hell do i save and exit ?
[19:15] <ssta> wdonkey: depends on editor.  Try ctrl-X
[19:15] <linuxnewb> actually i just found a lil thing in wine i hadnt found before, its installing everything and downloading it all formme XD thanks for your halps <3
[19:16] <n3urOn_> ctrl+o and ctrl+x ssta?
[19:16] <wdonkey> cool ssta thanks
[19:16] <ssta> n3urOn_: ctrl-X should offer to save if there's a change since the last save
[19:16] <ssfdre38> mrlee121, yea its dead ip address so it can be due to ISP
[19:17] <Aelingil> ActionParsnip, thank you, i'll try that. Any time we boot into "Recovery Mode" our keyboard & Mouse freezes. I wanted to see if text only would cause it also
[19:17] <mrlee121> i dont understand how it could be dead though? it was all working about 20 minutes ago the only thing that changed is the machine was turned off and turned back on again
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> n3urOn_: assuming you installed it for that, yes. You can extract the oracle java archive and link it to your browser, but java will still say openjava
[19:18] <n3urOn_> ActionParsnip, i dont know if its installed... i was reading about its removal
[19:18] <n3urOn_> i need it for another app, independent of the browser
[19:18] <g105b> I've installed the proprietary video drivers and ever since get `The selected configuration for displays could not be applied` when trying to enable my 2nd monitor - is there a way I can easily uninstall the ati drivers?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> n3urOn_: how did you install it?
[19:20] <fakewaffle> When I create a new user in server, tab autocomplete doesn't work, there are no colors, and up does not show the last command. What is not set correctly?
[19:20] <n3urOn_> i didnt install it, thats what im saying :) this desktop is pretty much "stock" ActionParsnip
[19:20] <Aelingil> ActionParsnip, Where will i enter "text" is it a stand alone or behind a line?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> fakewaffle: do you have ~/.bashrc  file?
[19:21] <fakewaffle> ActionParsnip: yes
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Aelingil: i'd add it on the same line as: quiet splash
[19:22] <teh_augmenter> #ArchLinux

[19:22] <ActionParsnip> fakewaffle: uncomment the last if statement, that loads the feature. Save the new file and rin: source ~/.bashrc
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> n3urOn_: if you can hang 10 mins I have a script to install oracle java 1.7_2
[19:24] <fakewaffle> ActionParsnip: It is uncommented already. :/
[19:24] <n3urOn_> ActionParsnip, sure man, if you can PM me, i have to get me some ciggs... thanks :)
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Fake
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> fakewaffle: ok: run:  source ~/.bashrc

[19:26] <Pseudoephedrine> Hey, i am trying to setup VNC on Ubuntu11.10, using RealVNC on my iPhone, but i am having a but of trouble connecting.. I have also downloaded x11vnc
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> fakewaffle: check the file exists and watch you use of case in the command. Linux is case sensitive
[19:27] <vivekimsit> how can i execute a command by storing it in some variable?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> n3urOn_: what is the output of: uname -m
[19:27] <n3urOn_> i686
[19:28] <theadmin> vivekimsit: Simple... var="something" && $var
[19:28] <paulus68> how can I see that rsnapshot is doing what it suppose to be doing?
[19:28] <osuna> What is this?????
[19:29] <wdonkey> can i setup a wlan with a old wireless router, my desktop and my laptop all on ubuntu ?
[19:29] <vivekimsit> like can i do: var="ls" && $var
[19:29] <bazhang> osuna, ubuntu support
[19:29] <osuna> ok...thanks
[19:30] <paulus68> wdonkey: why shouldn't this work?
[19:30] <tetreb> Can  I rearrange the terminals in Terminator?
[19:30] <wdonkey> paulus68: because i've been trying since 20 of the last 36 hours
[19:30] <wdonkey> haha
[19:30] <wdonkey> mind to give me a hand on this ?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> n3urOn_: great let me hit work
[19:30] <vivekimsit> theadmin: thankx! it worked, one more thing , when i did exec ls my terminal closed why?
[19:31] <paulus68> wdonkey: you make sure that your router is connected to your isp router
[19:31] <theadmin> vivekimsit: "exec" gives the shell control over to the app, meaning that when the app ends, well, the shell ends too
[19:31] <wdonkey> paulus68: it is, both my computer are wirelessly connected to it and i have internet on both
[19:32] <wdonkey> how do i set up file sharing
[19:32] <wdonkey> while still having access to internet
[19:32] <vivekimsit> theadmin:ok! means my command is executed at the backend but i cannot see the result
[19:32] <paulus68> wdonkey: do you have ssh server installed on every machine
[19:32] <theadmin> vivekimsit: No, that's not what it means -_- If you want to execute a command in the background, use "command &disown"
[19:32] <wdonkey> maybe not
[19:33] <jeagle> Anyone know if there is a command to send that will allow you to use OCR (text recognition) of a PDF document? I've been searching like crazy but haven't found much results.
[19:34] <paulus68> wdonkey: run  sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[19:34] <Atlantic777> is there a script for uploading text to paste.ubuntu.com? I'know that there are some other solutions (pastebin.com, lodgeit, etc... ) but I'm interested in posting to ubuntu's service.
[19:34] <theadmin> Atlantic777: I think pastebinit does that.
[19:34] <theadmin> Atlantic777: I mean, as an option
[19:35] <paulus68> wdonkey: on every machine on your network
[19:35] <Atlantic777> theadmin: thanks
[19:35] <chris_> hi can someone please tell me what package to install for apache/php/mysql thanks in advance?
[19:35] <wdonkey> alright paulus68 done
[19:36] <paulus68> Chris_ run tasksel if you are in ubuntu 10.11
[19:36] <paulus68> wdonkey: in your terminal type ssh yourusername@ipremotepc
[19:37] <chris_> hi can someone please tell me what package to install for apache/php/mysql thanks in advance?
[19:37] <paulus68> wdonkey: example ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:38] <paulus68> chris_ what ubuntu version do you have?
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> chris_  try tasksel in a terminal (task selection)
[19:39] <chris_> paulus68 none at the moment
[19:39] <wdonkey> ok, paulus68 do i have to enter my password ? and do i have to do it on both computer
[19:39] <chris_> monkeydust is that for a lamp?
[19:39] <MonkeyDust> chris_  yes
[19:39] <paulus68> wdonkey: if it requests you to enter your password you do
[19:40] <chris_> monkeydust is that what i should do only i had to install individula packages before
[19:40] <paulus68> wdonkey: and no only in the terminal where you want to connect to
[19:41] <MonkeyDust> chris_  tasksel offers a menu in which you can (de)select whatever you want
[19:41] <spliff> !vhost<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:41] <wdonkey> paulus68: i did it on both is this gonna cause a problem ?
[19:41] <paulus68> wdonkey: no
[19:42] <wdonkey> ok.
[19:42] <wdonkey> thanks btw
[19:42] <paulus68> wdonkey: what is the result did you succeed in connecting?
[19:42] <chris_> MonkeyDust, thanks
[19:42] <spliff> !vhost<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:42] <wdonkey> paulus68: connect where ?
[19:43] <g105b> Is there a way I can totally back up every singe setting to do with CCSM? - just made unity die *again*
[19:43] <oCean> spliff: /join #freenode if you have a request for a cloak
[19:43] <dat0m> I know why linux distros don't boot on my XPS 17
[19:43] <dat0m> I just checked my bios and it said: UEFI Secure Boot v A16
[19:43] <mrwhite> guys, how can I have 2 predictive dictionary thingys, I have being checking all the menus and cannot find the right one
[19:43] <paulus68> wdonkey: what happened when you tried ssh wdonkey@<IP_ADDRESS>(to be replaced by ip remote machine)
[19:45] <wdonkey> paulus68: says welcome to oc83 (my machines name) and gives me my last login time
[19:45] <theadmin> dat0m: Secure Boot. Disable that.
[19:46] <theadmin> dat0m: That's your problem.
[19:46] <dat0m> theadmin, not possible!
[19:46] <dat0m> it's locked
[19:46] <theadmin> dat0m: Contact your system's manufacturer then, Linux currently does not support UEFI's secure boot feature.
[19:46] <paulus68> wdonkey: this means that you are connected to your remote machine are you in desktop or in server ubuntu?
[19:46] <mega2> i have 3 partitions on my hd can i merge them using server10.04 if so how
[19:46] <wdonkey> desktop
[19:46] <dat0m> theadmin, I know, that's the problem :/
[19:47] <paulus68> wdonkey: if you are in desktop ubuntu you go to your filesystem and there you select connect to network if I am not mistaken
[19:47] <theadmin> dat0m: Well, if you're willing to patch the kernel to add the support, you're welcome to ;)
[19:47] <paulus68> wdonkey: it will ask you to enter the ip adres and how you want to connect you are going to use ssh
[19:48] <dat0m> theadmin, I don't think UEFI Secure Boot is meant to boot linux :P
[19:48] <oCean> dat0m: I think Dell announced there are going to make it user en/disabled, but for now :(
[19:48] <MonkeyDust> mega2  best is to backup the data on the partitions, you can then easily merge the partitions with gparted
[19:48] <paulus68> wdonkey: it will ask your login credentials and you will be connected to your remote desktop
[19:48] <theadmin> dat0m: Yeah, it's designed for Microsoft systems mostly. I mean, it's mostly their idea.
[19:48] <dat0m> oCean, any dates when the new version with en/disable function will be out?
[19:48] <dat0m> theadmin, I know :(
[19:48] <oCean> dat0m: no Idea. Better contact Dell support.
[19:48] <jeagle> Anyone know if there is a command to send that will allow you to use OCR (text recognition) of a PDF document? I've been searching like crazy but haven't found much results. :)
[19:48] <dat0m> but windows sucks miserably for sysadmins :P
[19:48] <wdonkey> paulus68: seems to work, hold on
[19:49] <theadmin> dat0m: Linux might do signed kernels sometime soon, well, watch out for it
[19:49] <theadmin> Or signed grub or whatever it is to be signed
[19:49] <MonkeyDust> dat0m  a friend of mine contacted Dell suuport for hardware issues, they're very friendly
[19:49] <paulus68> Does anyone have a good rsnapshot script available? I can't get it to work correctly or I am not able to check if its working ok
[19:49] <dat0m> MonkeyDust, it's not really a hardware issue
[19:49] <theadmin> dat0m: Well, it is.
[19:50] <wdonkey> paulus68: do i need to open the terminal and type in ssh myusername@remotemachinesip everytime ?
[19:50] <dat0m> theadmin, grub is what needs to be patched. also, the bios is not hard-ware for me :P
[19:50] <tetreb> can I turn off the gnome dock and only start applications with a keyboard shortcut instead?
[19:50] <theadmin> dat0m: Err, no, BIOS (actually, you have no BIOS... You have UEFI :/) is a part of the motherboard, so it IS hardware.
[19:50] <dat0m> UEFI is a BIOS :p
[19:50] <paulus68> wdonkey: no this was only to check if ssh is working correctly, however now you also have a way to connect to your remote pc using the terminal
[19:51] <dat0m> and it can be flashed, it's STORED on the motherboard ;)
[19:51] <theadmin> dat0m: UEFI is a *replacement* for BIOS.
[19:51] <dat0m> theadmin, the definition of BIOS is Basic Input Output System, and that's what UEFI does too ;)
[19:51] <dat0m> but, I don't want to argue about that now, lol
[19:51] <paulus68> wdonkey: you can do it perfectly through nautilus
[19:51] <ano1542> !vhost<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:51] <theadmin> dat0m: I spose so lol
[19:51] <dat0m> I'll contact the support
[19:51] <theadmin> dat0m: Yeah, that's the best idea there
[19:52] <dat0m> theadmin, but, you were right, it is a weird issue ;)
[19:52] <theadmin> dat0m: Very much so.
[19:52] <LjL> dat0m: BIOS is not a generic term for "boot firmware", it refers to the IBM-compatible firmware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS
[19:52] <wdonkey> paulus68: sorry for the dumb question, i should check it out myself, but what is nautilus ?
[19:52] <oCean> ano1542:  /join #freenode if you have a request for a cloak
[19:52] <dat0m> LjL: BIOS has two definitions
[19:53] <paulus68> wdonkey: the explorer of your filesystem
[19:54] <jeagle> wdonkey: I think the Nautilus is a ship from the book 20,000 leagues under the sea. :)
[19:54] <LjL> wdonkey: Nautilus is GNOME's file manager
[19:55] <mega2> when i run gparted it says (gpartedbin:3496) Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display how do i fix this
[19:55] <wdonkey> paulus68: ok, thanks, another thing. i have multiple hdd on one of the computer, but i only seem to have access to the partitionned hdd section where ubuntu was installed. there must be a way to get to my other hdds ?
[19:55] <MonkeyDust> dat0m  http://paste.ubuntu.com/814625/
[19:55] <paulus68> wdonkey: what filesystem is on there windows?
[19:56] <paulus68> mega2: you are running a server?
[19:56] <mega2> yes
[19:56] <wdonkey> paulus68: windows is on its separated partition, i just have like 4 other partition with data
[19:56] <paulus68> wdonkey: then you have to use fdisk
[19:56] <jeagle> Anyone know if there is a program for the command line that will allow you to use OCR (text recognition) of a PDF document? In other words, make it so the text in a pdf file will be selectable. :)
[19:57] <paulus68> wdonkey: my bad
[19:57] <wdonkey> whats fdisk ?
[19:57] <wdonkey> paulus68: sorry, im trying hard to keep up
[19:57] <MonkeyDust> wdonkey  in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l and see
[19:58] <_cb> I am running ubuntu server. If I put a usb, how do I mount it from the command line?
[19:58] <mega2> paulus68: yes i am running server10.04
[19:58] <wdonkey> cool, these are my devices
[19:59] <MonkeyDust> :)
[19:59] <wdonkey> how do i use fdisk in my particular case ?
[19:59] <LjL> mega2: server doesn't have a GUI by default. do you have a GUI? gparted is a GUI program.
[19:59] <murphs> WHat logger does ubuntu usually run? I don't think it's .. running.
[20:00] <mega2> well how do i merge the partitions
[20:00] <LjL> mega2: either install the GUI, or learn to use "parted" (without the "g") from the terminal.
[20:00] <wdonkey> paulus68: how do i get access to those partitions with fdisk or whatever ?
[20:01] <suzanne> hi
[20:01] <wolter> All my settings inhibit my display from sleeping but it still sleeps, does anybody have a solution for this?
[20:01] <wdonkey> there he goes
[20:02] <wdonkey> mind to take the relay MonkeyDust  ? i think im almost done setting this up, or rather, you guys are almost done setting me up
[20:02] <mega2> how do i make myself a superuser
[20:03] <LjL> !sudo | mega2
[20:03] <MonkeyDust> !fdisk
[20:03] <wdonkey> !fdisk
[20:03] <xtgyal> Hello, how do I get vftpd to allow access to /var/www ?  it looks like FileZilla can read folders outside of /home/ but cannot upload to it
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> wdonkey  read this first http://www.basicconfig.com/linux/linux_fdisk_command_check_hard_disk_partitions
[20:04] <wdonkey> alright, thanks MonkeyDust
[20:05] <dat0m> okay, seems like I have to use windows until they release the new version of UEFI :P
[20:05] <dat0m> oh btw, it shows: BIOS Version: UEFI A16
[20:05] <dat0m> lol
[20:06] <xtgyal> ?
[20:07] <new2net> in Nautilus, if you right click a folder containing items and go to properties, you'll notice "5,002 items, totalling 449.4 MB"  totaling is spelled wrong
[20:07] <xtgyal> I think that's a British spelling
[20:07] <xtgyal> like travelling :-P
[20:07] <new2net> xtgyal, :)
[20:07] <wdonkey> ok MonkeyDust the device checks the partition and everything, can i have access to those partition by ssh in nautilus from my remote computer ?
[20:08] <xtgyal> so vftpd help?
[20:09] <MonkeyDust> wdonkey  it's possible but tricky, make sure you don't accidentally modify or delete the running partition
[20:10] <MonkeyDust> wdonkey  let me rephrase that, i'm thinking
[20:10] <wdonkey> i didnt even knew what nautilus was 5 minutes ago, it doesnt sound safe to do that by myself
[20:10] <xtgyal> ya just says "File Browser"
[20:11] <xtgyal> nautiloids are so much cooler though
[20:12] <SamWharfe> Hey. I've converted from Windows 7 to Ubuntu as of this morning. Loving it so far. Anything that I need to know? Like commands etc?
[20:12] <dat0m> hmm, could I boot grub using the windows bootloader?
[20:13] <xtgyal> sp how do I get vsftpd to allow uploads to var/www ?
[20:13] <xtgyal> *so
[20:13] <dat0m> xtgyal, change the permissions of the /var/www folder
[20:14] <ubluntu> you can reinstall grub dat0m
[20:14] <xtgyal> I was told not to?
[20:14] <xtgyal> said it was too much of a security risk
[20:14] <dat0m> xtgyal, it is
[20:14] <dat0m> ubluntu, no, it needs to be booted by the windows bootloader
[20:14] <ubluntu> dat0m: what does ?
[20:14] <xtgyal> is there another way?  FileZilla can read the files but can't upload to var/www
[20:15] <dat0m> ubluntu, grub
[20:15] <Browncoyote>  /msg nickserv register Redstar1<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:15] <dat0m> xtgyal, oh, then there is something wrong with the ftp user. SFTP or FTP?
[20:15] <ubluntu> dat0m: what are you talking about booting a boot loader with another boot loader
[20:15] <xtgyal> just regular FT
[20:15] <dat0m> ubluntu, like wubi
[20:15] <dat0m> :P
[20:15] <xtgyal> *FTP
[20:15] <Browncoyote> test
[20:15] <dat0m> ubluntu, but without the limitations of wubi
[20:15] <ubluntu> ubluntu: wubi = waste of time do a real install
[20:15] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(
[20:15] <notNicolas> why would ubuntu use Unity by default? It has huge performance problems
[20:15] <ubluntu> lol I talked to my self, atleast im only crazy if I answer :-P
[20:15] <LjL> Browncoyote: next time, please type such commands in the status window, not in the channel, so you don't risk posting them here by accident like you just did :)
[20:15] <dat0m> ubluntu, MonkeyDust: I have UEFI on my laptop, I can't boot grub ;)
[20:16] <Browncoyote> sorry I am new
[20:17] <Browncoyote> I am trying to register my nicc
[20:17] <ubluntu> dat0m: im not familiar with UEFI sry
[20:17] <dat0m> ubluntu, linux/grub does not support it yet
[20:17] <theadmin> !register | Browncoyote
[20:17] <dat0m> that's why I want to boot it using the windows bootloader :P
[20:17] <xtgyal> is there another way besides changing the ownership of var/www ?
[20:17] <dat0m> xtgyal, not the ownership :P
[20:17] <theadmin> dat0m: You're a genius lol, boot plop using Windows bootloader and then have it boot Linux :P
[20:18] <xtgyal> it's currently owned as root
[20:18] <xtgyal> I'm logged into FTP as myself
[20:18] <dat0m> xtgyal, that would really work? :O
[20:18] <dat0m> xtgyal, you are using a root account?
[20:18]  * Browncoyote Thanks
[20:18] <xtgyal> no?
[20:18] <dat0m> xtgyal, why is it owned by root, then?
[20:19] <a-saint> hello guys is it me or someone else is having problem with aircrack-ng ......................... 22:15:20  Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: **:**:**:**:**:**) on channel -1 22:15:20  mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6
[20:19] <dat0m> xtgyal, you should disable the root account on your server (security issues)
[20:19] <guntbert> !manual | SamWharfe have a good reading :)
[20:19] <LjL> xtgyal: the proper way would be making a group specific to reading/writing that directory, and then making yourself and/or the FTP server's user a member of that group.
[20:19] <xtgyal> there's only one user account here, me, var/www is owned by "root" as default for security, I can only upload to it locally using sudo
[20:19] <LjL> dat0m: what are you talking about? the fact that /var/www is owned by root is normal and absolutely doesn't imply that the root user is enabled
[20:20] <dat0m> LjL, uh, it's owned by www-data here :P
[20:20] <LjL> dat0m: might depend on ubuntu version.
[20:20] <xtgyal> probably depends on your server, I have the defualt Ubuntu LAMP stack
[20:20] <flintwingel> xtgyal: have you thought about using scp instead of ftp.... it's easier & more secure
[20:20] <xtgyal> what is scp?
[20:21] <dat0m> lamp -_-
[20:21] <xtgyal> I basically just want to be able to upload files to my home server from other computers is all
[20:21] <LjL> !scp | xtgyal
[20:21] <dat0m> xtgyal, or SFTP
[20:21] <flintwingel> xtgyal: part of the ssh familiy ssh=secure shell
[20:21] <wdonkey> MonkeyDust: thanks i've found a way, thanks again for helping me!
[20:22] <xtgyal> I'm not sure that would work, I would need to upload files from my university computer lab, they don't allow installations, I don't think that's in the installed programs, they have FileZilla though
[20:22] <flintwingel> xtgyal: if it's a linux server it may already be running, if not it's usually trivial to install. It's a standard part of pretty much every distro
[20:23] <LjL> xtgyal: what's the problem with doing what i outlined though?
[20:23] <xtgyal> I would need that particular application installed on whatever computer I wanted to access my homeserver from?
[20:23] <flintwingel> xygyal: http://filezilla-project.org/client_features.php
[20:23] <flintwingel> xtgyal: http://filezilla-project.org/client_features.php - see point 2
[20:24] <JoseeAntonioR> Hello! I have a few touch keys in the upper part of my keyboard, and I want to know how can I set their functions.
[20:24] <xtgyal> I don't see SCP listed?
[20:25] <flintwingel> xtgyal - ssh also includes SFTP
[20:25] <ubuntu_> bry
[20:25] <xtgyal> is that the same as SCP?
[20:25] <ikonia> xtgyal: scp is part of the ssh package
[20:25] <xtgyal> oh ok
[20:26] <LjL> xtgyal: no, but both SCP and SFTP are more secure than FTP
[20:26] <flintwingel> xtgyal: not quite.... but close enough
[20:26] <a-saint> hello guys is it me or someone else is having problem with aircrack-ng ......................... 22:15:20  Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: **:**:**:**:**:**) on channel -1 22:15:20  mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6
[20:26] <xtgyal> what program do I need to install to set up an SCP server then?
[20:26] <borudev> Hello, how is everyone? I had a quick question troubleshooting my ubuntu 11.10 server installation. I installed the same OS on 2 different servers and I'm experiencing the same problem. What happens is I turn on the server, it's ok for few hours, and then when I try to SSH to it, it get a time out, when I plug in the keyboard, and type something then I can connect to it again. Seems that it's
[20:26] <borudev> going to some kind of sleep mode. Note, no desktop was installed just pure server OS. Anyone had this issue before? what could cause it? Thanks
[20:26] <ikonia> xtgyal: openssh-server will instal sshd which listens for transfers
[20:27] <ikonia> xtgyal: the client you need to install ssh which contains scp
[20:27] <ubluntu> borudev: sudo setterm -blank 0
[20:27] <flintwingel> xtgyal: what distro? ubuntu/debian, if it's not install already apt-get install ssh should do it
[20:27] <xtgyal> the default FileZilla installation on Windows should be able to access the SCP server?
[20:27] <xtgyal> I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[20:27] <borudev> unbluntu what will this do?
[20:28] <Viva> ola
[20:29] <LjL> xtgyal: probably not, but it will be able to access the SFTP server (which is in the same openssh-server package)
[20:29] <LjL> xtgyal: anyway, it's not like any of this is going to solve the permission issues :P
[20:29] <borudev> ubluntu: what will this do?
[20:30] <xtgyal> ai, so why am I installing it?
[20:31] <LjL> xtgyal: because security. the permission issues would be solved the way i outlined, i don't think there is another sensible way. unless you decide to make a symlink from /var/www/something to your home, and put the files there.
[20:31] <xtgyal> yes, I am reading https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html does seem better
[20:32] <Viba> hello
[20:32] <xtgyal> would the symlink reduce any security?
[20:32] <xtgyal> how does that work?
[20:32] <flintwingel> xtgyal: it's a lot easier to get the right permissions... and it's safer to sign in as root. FTP sessions are clear text. vsftpd also put a layer of  user mapping in the way. You should probably set to ownership or /var/www to something other than root, but NOT the same user and the webserver uses
[20:33] <LjL> xtgyal: not as far as i'm aware. however, you'd have to make a sub-directory inside /var/www, so later you can't access your site as http://hostname/ but you need http://hostname/subdirectory/, that may or may not be ok with you.
[20:33] <xtgyal> I thought I'm not supposed to sign in as root?
[20:33] <xtgyal> hm ok yeah my indexpage is at localhost/index.htm
[20:34] <xtgyal> fish don't bark...
[20:34] <flintwingel> xtgyal: rule of thumb... normally you wouldn't. Setup a new user on you server, set the ownership of /var/ww to that user then use sftp to sign in as that user
[20:35] <arooni-mobile> hey folks; lenovo t420 here with ubuntu 11.10;  suspend works about 40-50% of the time.  any idea on what i need to do to make resume more reliable?
[20:35] <ikonia> arooni-mobile: sort the video card compatability out is the common issue
[20:35] <LjL> xtgyal, what *i'd* personally do, though, is: make the ownership of /var/www and friends root:www-data, and make your user a member of www-data
[20:35] <xtgyal> hm ok yeah like a special webadmin account on the computer?  will that reduce any security from having it owned by root though?
[20:35] <arooni-mobile> ikonia, i have the intel card
[20:36] <xtgyal> I'
[20:36] <LjL> xtgyal: if by "reduce the security" you mean "let you access the files at all", then yes, it will reduce the security ;)
[20:36] <xtgyal> I'd rather deviate from the defualt security settings as little as possible
[20:36] <flintwingel> xtgyal: no... justas long as it is NOT the same user as the webserver and is NOT world writeable
[20:37] <xtgyal> what do you mean by same user as the webserver?
[20:37] <xtgyal> there is currently only one user account on the computer
[20:37] <LjL> xtgyal: err, i think you'd be surprised.
[20:37] <LjL> xtgyal: "cat /etc/passwd" will show that the webserver most likely has its own user.
[20:37] <xtgyal> well user account that I've created
[20:37] <shalowhal76> old dell dimension 4600 p4 3.0x2, 1gb ram pc3200, agp radeon 512 mb, seems to be running fine after 11.10 update for the most part but has some noticable lag that wasnt ther befor .probably due to low ram but all nd all seemes like a really great computer for $60.00
[20:37] <LjL> xtgyal: users get created automatically for services.
[20:38] <xtgyal> yes I know
[20:38] <flintwingel> xtgyal: every process on a unix is "owned" by a user, it controls what they have access to
[20:38] <xtgyal> I meant accounts I actually log into
[20:38] <Kohinite> How is that website called, where people post problems, and other people post solutions which later are rated by other users?
[20:38] <flintwingel> xtgyal: if you run ps -ef you will see all the processes and their owner
[20:38] <xtgyal> lemme check that
[20:38] <a-saint> anyone http://paste.ubuntu.com/814670/
[20:39] <bazhang> Kohinite, askubuntu.com ?
[20:39] <xtgyal> ok I see nicole root and a www-data
[20:39] <shalowhal76> loving it
[20:39] <ikonia> a-saint: what about it ?
[20:39] <xtgyal> *,,
[20:39] <shalowhal76> sweeeeat
[20:39] <arooni-mobile> for suspend to work properly; do i need 1) same amount of swap as ram?  i have 8gb of ram; but only 4gb of swap?  2) free space = ram working set?  i regularly use 4-5gb of ram; but currently only have 3gb free on hard disk
[20:40] <LjL> arooni-mobile: you only need enough swap space, no need for other free space on the disk.
[20:40] <xtgyal> www-data looks like the Apache user
[20:40] <a-saint> ikonia having trouble with aircrack-ng error with what's in the pastebin
[20:40] <Kohinite> bazhang, it looks a lot like askubuntu.com, but that website was a bit different... Or maybe it got updated?
[20:40] <LjL> arooni-mobile: ideally it should be at least the same as your RAM, but if you're using little RAM, then it might work with less.
[20:40] <flintwingel> xtgyal: www-data is the onwer of the httpd process... the webserver. For the webserver to serve up pages it must have read permission on the files that make up the web pages
[20:40] <arooni-mobile> LjL, so i dont have enough free swap space?
[20:40] <shalowhal76> i think im coming up on about $140. 00 real soon
[20:40] <ikonia> a-saint: that doesn't look like a n error
[20:40] <ikonia> an
[20:40] <a-saint> ikonia what wouldit be?
[20:41] <ikonia> shalowhal76: what has this got do do with ubuntu ?
[20:41] <shalowhal76> bunt is free
[20:41] <xtgyal> I still think creating a link to/from the home directory seems safer than messing with user settings
[20:41] <flintwingel> xtgyal: what you don't want is for the webserver to have write permission
[20:41] <ikonia> a-saint: it appears to be delling you the device is listening on a different channel than the AP
[20:41] <shalowhal76> couldnt do it without bunt
[20:41] <ikonia> shalowhal76: what are you talking about ?
[20:41] <LjL> shalowhal76: this channel is for Ubuntu technical support, please keep it free of other chatter.
[20:41] <ikonia> shalowhal76: you are an an ubuntu support channel - do you need to use that resource
[20:41] <bazhang> Kohinite, stackoverflow.com perhaps
[20:41] <xtgyal> ok so that's a no go then, I want to be able to write to the var/www folder remotely
[20:41] <a-saint> ikonia but i made sure to airmon-ng start wlan2 6
[20:42] <shalowhal76> i swear to god if i ever make it rich im going to donate like 1000.00 to ubuntu.
[20:42] <ikonia> shalowhal76: enough
[20:42] <bazhang> !ot | shalowhal76
[20:42] <LjL> xtgyal: not if you insist on not changing its ownership... if you aren't root, and the stuff is owned by root, there's no way you're going to write to it, is there? unless you make it writable to anyone, which *is* a big security risk ;)
[20:42] <ikonia> a-saint: not according to that log
[20:43] <a-saint> ikonia I did ......
[20:43] <ikonia> a-saint: not according to that log
[20:43] <shalowhal76> you guys ar all a bunch of cry baby bitches in all these rooms i swear.
[20:43] <xtgyal> yes but what was the "symlink" thing mentioned earlier?  copy my var/www data to the home folder and then link var/www to it?
[20:44] <a-saint> ikonia wait i will try and post
[20:44] <Viba> ola
[20:44] <Aegir> Aegir (Has quit)
[20:44] <Kohinite> bazhang, how is this "rating system" called? Stackoverflow and AskUbuntu.
[20:45] <flintwingel> xtgyal: symlink (ln -s) is just a way of redirecting a file operation somewhere else. Apache can be setup to ignore symlinks and it doesn't really get you around the file ownership/permission problem
[20:45] <Viba> hay alguien k español k hable
[20:45] <LjL> xtgyal: well no, linking the *whole* /var/www to it would be the same as just making /var/www owned by you. i was thinking of making a *subdirectory* in /var/www linked to something in your home.
[20:45] <xtgyal> hm ok
[20:45] <LjL> !es | Viba
[20:45] <xtgyal> ohh ok
[20:45] <xtgyal> like var/www/newfiles
[20:46] <LjL> xtgyal: but of course, as flintwingel hints, the actual directory in your home directory will be owned by *your user*, so if you're this wary about ownership, it changes nothing
[20:46] <xtgyal> which links to home then I can copy & paste them once I'm back on this computer
[20:46] <winterpk66> Hey guys.  I'm trying to get our new Ubuntu 10 server on our network, but having problems with routing and DHCP.  DHCP does not seem to be setting everything properly as it should.  It seems to be connecting to the router, but when I try to ping an external address it give me "Host address unable to resolve".
[20:46] <Aegir> Aegir (Has quit)
[20:46] <ikonia> winterpk66: look into the dns settings
[20:46] <xtgyal> actually yeah doesn't seem to solve much
[20:47] <a-saint> ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/814682/
[20:47] <pakypocho> ciao!
[20:47] <Viba> ola
[20:47] <xtgyal> I'll just leave it be, it looks like I can read the files remotely, so I'll have to download them, edit, and then FTP them to home, and then wait until I get back on this computer to copy & paste them to var/www

[20:49] <a-saint> ikonia it shows with the pastebin

[20:50] <ikonia> no idea, try #aircrack

[20:58] <LjL> al_nz1: it works for me. a quick and dirty (and possibly damaging) solution would be to put "exit 0" on the second line of the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/tftpd-hpa.postrm - a better solution would be running the commands in that file manually, and seeing what goes wrong.

[21:25] <Nephy> Hey, I installed ubuntu 11.10 a few hours ago and I just noticed some applications are missing menu buttons.Is there a fix for this ?
[21:27] <guntbert> Nephy: you are supposed to get them via the "dash"
[21:27] <snowrichard> Nephy you can click on the top icon, brings up a search box, type the first few letters of the app name
[21:28] <Nephy> no, no I don't mean applications are missing from my menu
[21:28] <alaing> how do i chmod a specific folder?
[21:28] <Nephy> Applications are missing menu options, like "file" ,"edit" stuff like that
[21:29] <ortsvorsteher> alaing, which rights do you want to have on that folder?
[21:29] <snowrichard> oh haven't seen anything like that
[21:29] <alaing> 777
[21:29] <snowrichard> the menu goes to the top of the screen now
[21:29] <guntbert> Nephy: move the mouse pointer to the top panel...
[21:30] <guntbert> alaing: don't
[21:30] <ortsvorsteher> alaing, try chmod 777 foldername
[21:30] <ortsvorsteher> alaing, which folder is it?
[21:30] <Nephy> a lol, didnt see that, Is there a way to restore them to "normal" ?:D
[21:31] <alaing> actually i might go with 755
[21:31] <ortsvorsteher> alaing, and which folder is it?
[21:32] <alaing> its a plugins folder for a cms that I'm using
[21:32] <alaing> for my website
[21:33] <ortsvorsteher> alaing, i would not give rights for everyone an such a folder.

[22:20] <TrentonDAdams> I'm finding IO scheduling performance to be extremely poor on Ubuntu 11.04.  Is there going to be a fix for this, that anyone is aware of?  I run hourly backups, and they worked just peachy with 10.10, but now my load average jumps to 3, 4, 5, sometimes even 80.
[22:21] <TrentonDAdams> They worked so well with 10.10 that they could accumulate 5-10 hours of overlap, due to auto cleaning my backup directories, and still be bearly noticable.

[22:26] <kaddi> hi, i have a somewhat weird question: A friend of mine has an old sony with jaunty installed on it. The cd-drive is dead and the bios doesn't support usb-boot. Is there a way to get the machine upgraded to something supported (lucid or oneiric). He isn't opposed to a clean install. So is there a way to do a clean install by downloading the iso in jaunty and launching th einstall from it?
[22:26] <mrdesign> bsr tt l mond
[22:26] <kaddi> i've been looking at the networkinstall, but i don't think that'll work either
[22:27] <kaddi> i'm essentially looking for a wubi that would install within jaunty :p
[22:27] <MonkeyDust> kaddi  download the iso and use unetbootin to create a bootable thumbdrive
[22:27] <kaddi> boot from USB is not support in BIOS MonkeyDust :/
[22:27] <kaddi> there's no floppy drive either
[22:28] <Scunizi> trism: thanks.. it doesn't happen often (kernel updates)
[22:28] <bobo37773> kaddi, Will an external optical drive work?
[22:29] <kaddi> bobo37773: from what he said no.. as it's also a usb device
[22:29] <koleoptero> need some help here from you fellow ubuntuers: Does anyone use empathy with irc?
[22:29] <bobo37773> kaddi, Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
[22:29] <MonkeyDust> kaddi  so no usb, no cd and no floppy?
[22:29] <Brian__> having trouble getting ubuntu to boot up help
[22:29] <MoDDD> kaddi ,u can try with an external dvd-rom
[22:29] <kaddi> MonkeyDust: yes, just to make it interesting ;)
[22:30] <bobo37773> hahaha
[22:30] <Budylicios> hi guys im a little new with linux and i have a question : why when i try 2 boot boot 10.10 livecd the screen getz blurry and goes to power save after a wile

[22:32] <bobo37773> kaddi, lubi maybe?
[22:32] <kaddi> MoDDD: also once you install it, I was under the impression it's just on the live-cd and if you wnat to use it on the done install you need to install it yourself
[22:33] <kaddi> bobo37773: there's such a thing as lubi? THat would be cool
[22:33] <MonkeyDust> yes, it's on my website too
[22:33] <bobo37773> kaddi, Yeah, i am pretty sure there is
[22:33] <Sach> what command do i need to know how many bits my computer has? (32 or 64)
[22:33] <qmr> how do I get a source package?
[22:33] <Galactico1> ciao
[22:33] <qmr> Sach: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:33] <_B00> Look at the sticker... oops sorry
[22:33] <kaddi> bobo37773: cool, thanks. That may do the trick!
[22:33] <MonkeyDust> Sach  type dmidecode|grep 64
[22:34] <Budylicios>  hi guys im a little new with linux and i have a question : why when i try 2 boot boot 10.10 livecd the screen getz blurry and goes to power save after a wile !!!
[22:34] <rcmaehl> Why can't other people see: 
[22:34] <rcmaehl> ?
[22:34] <LjL> rcmaehl: i can see it just fine
[22:34] <qmr> rcmaehl: character set
[22:34] <_B00> I can see it rcmaehl !
[22:34] <bobo37773> kaddi, Not sure how you are going to go about getting rid of the host system though.
[22:34] <kaddi> bobo37773: once the new ubuntu is installed can they delete the old install and use it as a data partition
[22:34] <kaddi> haha
[22:34] <ewokbot> see what?
[22:34] <Sach> qmr -- thanks, it worked.
[22:34] <kaddi> cross post ;P
[22:34] <rcmaehl> LjL: It says ubuntu right?
[22:35] <ewokbot> i dont see anything after the colon its blank
[22:35] <koleoptero> rcmaehl: nice
[22:35] <rcmaehl> some peopel say it says something else too
[22:35] <koleoptero> esp the ubuntu logo, how on earth did you do that?
[22:35] <Sach> is it worth upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, in terms of stability and functionality?
[22:35] <bobo37773> kaddi, Yeah, I don't know. Not sure how it is installed. If it is anything like wubi... good luck
[22:35] <rcmaehl> koleoptero: character map
[22:35] <ewokbot> Sach, no
[22:36] <ewokbot> Sach, really dumb idea - just makes you a test subject
[22:36] <Sach> ewokbot, why do you say that?
[22:36] <koleoptero> rcmaehl: yeah but I see it in the ubuntu font whereas I'm using terminus, that's why I ask
[22:36] <ewokbot> but no distro admins are going to tell you that
[22:36] <koleoptero> in a terminal with irssi too
[22:36] <rcmaehl> same
[22:36] <rcmaehl> I"m in irssi
[22:36] <ewokbot> there could be some upstream x org stuff but unlikely
[22:37] <koleoptero> oh, so I guess no compatibility issues between us hahahah
[22:37] <Sach> ewokbot, so what version do you suggest I stick with?
[22:37] <M1> that's because it's one ascii symbol that includes the ubuntu text and the logo
[22:37] <kaddi> bobo37773: well it's a good start.. at least he'll be able to get the clean install.. we can always talk about hacking lubi later :)
[22:37] <ewokbot> i say stay with 11.04 if you are on it
[22:37] <MonkeyDust> kaddi  http://lubi.sourceforge.net/index.html
[22:37] <Sach> ewokbot, thanks :)
[22:37] <ewokbot> i thought it was pretty nice in classic no effects fall back mode
[22:37] <rcmaehl> ah
[22:37] <kaddi> bobo37773, MonkeyDust, MoDDD thanks!
[22:37] <Sach> yes, i think so too...
[22:38] <MoDDD> kaddi good work! :)
[22:38] <ewokbot> i put pn the weather applet in the panel thing did you Sach
[22:38] <ewokbot> ?
[22:38] <Sach> ewokbot, absolutely! :)
[22:38] <ewokbot> i am in debian gnome right now for debian has the same sort of stuff as classic fallback
[22:39] <mrdesign> monkeydust: i'm select lampserver
[22:39] <Sach> the only thing i hate is libreoffice in comparison to Word...i still find bugs..
[22:39] <ewokbot> or whatever i dont really know what the wm is- but i recognixze the tools from ununtu
[22:39] <mrdesign> i click enter
[22:39] <bobo37773> kaddi, Wait. Couldn't you just extract the iso and add an entry in grub pointed to the appropriate kernel / ramdisk?
[22:39] <mrdesign> but nothing else
[22:39] <ewokbot> hmm well i never used Micro soft long enough to like it
[22:40] <kaddi> bobo37773: what would that do? Would that launch the install?
[22:40] <mrdesign> i think that something wrong
[22:40] <koleoptero> can't anyone help me with some problems I have with irc and empathy?
[22:40] <kaddi> How would I make sure I don't partition over the appropriate kernel ramdisk?
[22:40] <Sach> yea, i'v been on ubuntu for 6 years now, but Word is the only thing i miss..
[22:40] <acerimmer> koleoptero: I might be able to help
[22:40] <mrdesign> i want install lampserver
[22:40] <MonkeyDust> mrdesign  select the components you need
[22:40] <qmr> .... LaTeX
[22:40] <kaddi> sach have you tried libreoffice? I think it has a very finished feel to it
[22:40] <mrdesign> i do this
[22:40] <bobo37773> Seems like it would. No harm in trying if you are adding a seperate entry in grub. In theory it should work.
[22:41] <kaddi> personally i think it's much nicer than openoffice
[22:41] <kaddi> (also what qmr said ;p)
[22:41] <mrdesign> monkeydust i do this by pressing enter
[22:41] <Sach> kaddi, yes, i use it, although still find a few bugs..have you also come across any bugs?
[22:41] <koleoptero> acerimmer: thank god, I set it with freenode and my nick and it says authentication failed
[22:41] <kaddi> sach, nope I only use it rarely. I mostly use latex
[22:41] <kaddi> bobo37773: the thing is, once the PC is unbootable it stays unbootable.. :p
[22:41] <kaddi> so trial and error only works on a limited scale
[22:42] <bobo37773> kaddi, Yeah, but if it was a seperate entry in grub then you can just pick the working one if it doesn't work
[22:43] <kaddi> bobo37773: well the idea would be to format over the existing ubuntu install with the new one. So if the whole thing stops working half way through, because I formatted part of the files needed by the CD I have lost both
[22:43] <kaddi> the working install and the installer
[22:43] <acerimmer> koleoptero: I used to get those too.  upon logging into freenode, I would get "nick already in use or not recognized" or similar.  Once I /msg nick "Acerimmer", it was fixed.  that might not be EXACTLY the message but it's close...
[22:43] <kaddi> which is why I'm worried about where to install the new version of ubuntu to
[22:44] <koleoptero> acerimmer: so it's an empathy quirk? because I was able to connect with an unregistered nickname (koleop2) but then it wouldn't join any channels \o.O/
[22:44] <Sach> is it possible to do a FRESH install of 11.04 without a disk; only internet?
[22:45] <koleoptero> so see I hit two things at once lol
[22:45] <kaddi> bobo37773: it seems what you suggested is an official way to install ubuntu though: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet
[22:45] <kaddi> it doesn't answer my worries baout formatting what shouldn't be formatted unfortunately
[22:46] <MoDDD> kaddi: you have find the solution online?
[22:46] <bobo37773> kaddi, If the custom kernel loads and you get to the ubuntu installer then what would be the difference?
[22:46] <bobo37773> kaddi, It would be the same as a livecd wouldn't it?
[22:47] <kaddi> bobo37773: well i guess my question is when I get to the ubuntu installer, does it load EVERYTHING it needs into RAM or does it rely on the files remaining available throughout the install
[22:47] <kaddi> because if it loads everything into RAM, then I'm fretting over nothing
[22:47] <Sach> is it possible to do a fresh (formatted) install of 11.04 from an ISO image on my external harddrive?
[22:47] <bobo37773> kaddi, Oh. It may need to mount partitions to run itself. I didn't think of that.
[22:48] <kaddi> sach check the link i just posted, it may anwser your wuestion
[22:48] <kaddi> question even
[22:48] <Sach> kadi, thanks -- you're quick!
[22:49] <bobo37773> kaddi, Maybe a custom fstab would help (or maybe look at the one in the extracted livecd)...
[22:49] <kaddi> sach Im actually asking the same question as you ;)
[22:49] <Sach> lol
[22:49] <kaddi> bobo37773: yeah, i already asked for the disk-structure.. I'm waiting for my friend to get back to me.. I'm contemplating abusing a virtual machine in the mean time ;) Just to see what happens
[22:50] <bobo37773> kaddi, That is great idea. VMs can take a good beating
[22:50] <MoDDD> kaddi: try with virtual machine :)
[22:50] <marcesan> hello there I have a question, I installed Ubuntu 11.10 in my new laptop and it warm up too fast
[22:51] <kaddi> they've already taken several good beatings unfortunately.. let's see if they can be persuaded to boot at all :p
[22:51] <OerHeks> !lmsensors
[22:52] <marcesan> ok I will try lmsensors
[22:52] <hovorka> I was wondering if I could get some help; when I attempt to boot Ubuntu 11.10 on my netbook, it "glitches out" and throws me into a root terminal.
[22:52] <Sach> if my "Address size" is: 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual, how do I know the bits of my cpu? (ie. 32 or 64?)
[22:53] <svetlanak> Hi! I have a network problem that i hope you guys can i help me with. I'm using a laptop computer with wireless connection. When i close my computer, it goes into sleep(as it should do ofc). BUT, when i open it, i cant connect to my router again, i have to restart my computer and my router after this, to make it work again. This doesnt happend to my other computers. So, can anyone help me? :)
[22:53] <svetlanak> I use 10.04 btw
[22:53] <acerimmer> koleoptero: sorry I booted myself.
[22:54] <OerHeks> Sach PAE is only acailable on 32 bit cpu's
[22:54] <koleoptero> acerimmer: no worries, I'm slowly resigning myself to using irssi
[22:54] <Sach> OerHeks, PAE?
[22:54] <acerimmer> koleoptero: option - chatzilla plugin to firefox.  very sweet imho
[22:54] <bobo37773> kaddi, I think you will need to create an additional partition for this to work with the contents of the iso. Better go with fat32
[22:55] <koleoptero> acerimmer: nah, I just thought to set up empathy since it's already running all the time for google talk
[22:55] <OerHeks> !pae
[22:55] <kaddi> anyone familiar with this error message from virtualbox: failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT)?
[22:55] <kaddi> i'm kinda reluctant to run VB as root
[22:55] <koleoptero> I can use irssi just fine
[22:55] <hovorka> Is there any reason why after booting Ubuntu 11.10, you would be thrown into a fullscreen root terminal?
[22:56] <acerimmer> hovorka: Root or Boot?
[22:56] <Sach> under what circumstances would one install the (unrecommended) 64-bit 11.04?
[22:57] <hovorka> acerimmer: It gives me a prompt that says "root@ubuntu:/#".
[22:57] <aBound> Sach, I'd stick with 10.04 LTS more or less.
[22:57] <OerHeks> Sach, 64 bit runs fine, next version 12.04LTS will recommended 64 bit.
[22:57] <acerimmer> hovorka: yeah, that's root.  Not an issue i'm familiar with, sorry.
[22:58] <Sach> oerheks, so is 32 bit fine for 11.04?
[22:58] <hovorka> acerimmer: Thanks anyways.
[22:59] <OerHeks> Sach 32 bit is proven to be stable and give no worrys. 64 is next.

[23:06] <aNo> awesome
[23:06] <hamax> I can't find any documentation
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> seangibbz: burg exists but its 2rd party and not supported here, not sure if it works with wubi either. Considering it's on the screen for a few seconds I wouldn't be bothered
[23:07] <kaddi> no, i meant I screwed up the VB install badly. I've moved files around a bit too much in order to free up space and half the Vms have quite working on me while others are getting erratic
[23:07] <chuck> hexacode: There is a conf/svnserve.conf for each repository that you have create with svn
[23:07] <kaddi> it would be best if I started out new, but I have some 10VMs configured and I don't want to redo them all >.>
[23:08] <kaddi> though i have porbbably wasted more time saving the config than it would have taken to start new
[23:08] <hexacode> chuck thanks
[23:08] <bobo37773> kaddi, You can backup and restore VMs
[23:08] <seangibbz> kaddi: shouldn't the VMs be saved in a seperate place than the actual VM program
[23:08] <chuck> hexacode: you're welcome
[23:09] <Mitlin> Hello
[23:09] <kaddi> seangibbz: the are by default saved in .Virtualbox in your home directory
[23:09] <dewar> hi mitlin
[23:09] <renxx___> Hello
[23:09] <seangibbz> kaddi: if so, then just backup the VMs, reinstall the virtualization program, and put back the VM files
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> kaddi: I'd recreate the VMs but use the standing drive images
[23:09] <kaddi> which in myc ase has 20GB, becuase i have a big ntfs data partition i share between linux and windows..
[23:09] <dirtydave> after inserting ubuntu disk to install. i get prompted for password and log information, even though it is not installed yet. The hardrive is clean

[23:10] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | [[thufir]]
[23:10] <Mitlin> I've just installed a fresh version of ubuntu 11.10. Everything is working except for 1 thing. The brightness is very very high.
[23:10] <Mitlin> Any way to change that?
[23:11] <dewar> yes mitlin
[23:11] <[[thufir]]> seangibbz: no disc, just apt-get
[23:11] <dewar> go to system settings
[23:11] <Mitlin> i've looked in the Option Screen but i dont have a brighness option
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> Mitlin: what make and model system?
[23:11] <aBound> Mitlin, On the top right go to System Settings >> Screen >> From there you can change brightness.
[23:11] <dewar> open power management
[23:11] <seangibbz> kaddi: you could remaking the VMS, but once they're made (don't bother actually installing anything on them) replace the virtual hard disk of the new VM with the one from the old VM.
[23:12] <Mitlin> @ dewar theres no option to change the brightness their either
[23:12] <kaddi> seangibbz: that won't work due to the intenral identifiers
[23:12] <seangibbz> ah
[23:12] <dewar> i found it on my laptop
[23:12] <kaddi> if i could just point an existing VM to an existing screen shot I would be fine
[23:12] <hatch> how do I add something to this quicklaunch bar in 11.10? I need to exectute a script on clicking it like you would do in 10.04 quicklaunch bar
[23:12] <Mitlin> could i be that i installed it on a desktop?
[23:12] <kaddi> i'll work it out eventually, at least for the ones I really need.. but for now, I'll just start over new
[23:12] <kaddi> i think
[23:12] <Mitlin> it*
[23:12] <dewar> if you go to power mode
[23:13] <dewar> power profiles system settings
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> Mitlin: what make and model is the system please??
[23:13] <renxx___> DOes anyone know good tutorial for bash scripting?
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> renxx___: the guys in #bash will probably have a few
[23:14] <renxx___> Ill try that ty ;)
[23:14] <seangibbz> kaddi: you could still try.  Say, for example, you have a VM with a virtual hard disk "vm1.vhd".  You could just back that up, then delete it from the folder that it was originally stored in.  Then make a new VM with a new virtual hard disk also titled "vm1.vhd", then exit the program, put back the old vhd, overriding the new one, and restart the program.
[23:14] <hatch> so can't do custom application launchers in 11.10?
[23:14] <seangibbz> not sure if it'l work, but it's work a shot
[23:15] <Mitlin> @ Actionparsnip it's a mix of some parts.  Also, I meant there is an option to export / backup VMs in VirtualBox itself. Like officially I mean.
