[19:16] <weside> thanks cgroza
[19:16] <pozic> ikonia: yes, but I just want it to run that by itself and then ask to me 'hey, you are using lvm2, shall we map foo to bar for you'?
[19:16] <alvinPH> hello, how can i install prism? i'm running xubuntu 11.04*
[19:16] <NictraSavios> ravage, Gparted will always be gparted
[19:16] <sup0> *nautilus. it's the GNOME file manager
[19:16] <ikonia> pozic: that's not going to happen
[19:16] <thunder1212> yes ..
[19:16] <TTilus> skype won't start anymore  "Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed ... wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"
[19:16] <heffay> i know that.. im not using gnome...
[19:16] <sup0> ok sry
[19:16] <ikonia> pozic: the exportint and importing of volume groups and phsycial volumes requires a manual "do this"
[19:16] <thunder1212> but daily backups would amount to huge size
[19:16] <Snooz> #help
[19:16] <NictraSavios> thunder1212, :P thats why you delete ones a week old
[19:17] <rinkukokiri> how do I uninstall unity completely, i don't want it
[19:17] <NictraSavios> thunder1212, There are tools that can automate it :P
[19:17] <NictraSavios> ring1, apt-get purge unity*
[19:17] <NictraSavios> ring1, Waring, you may be stuck at a console login.
[19:17] <cgroza> thunder1212, I just use dropbox to save what I cannot afford to lose. Daily backups are an overkill for me
[19:17] <nit-wit> rinkukokiri, can you use the classic ubutu?
[19:17] <ballon5454> hi
[19:17] <nit-wit> *ubuntu
[19:18] <rinkukokiri> i want to uninstall unity, i am using classic... i just want unity GONE
[19:18] <ikonia> Snooz: how can we help ?
[19:18] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, Purge it out, Do you like gnome 3? Thats available too.
[19:18] <rinkukokiri> maybe, i think i will try it.
[19:18] <fyksen> Is there a apt-get based distro with gnome 3?
[19:19] <NictraSavios> rinkukokiri, I am using it now, it takes alot of extensions and the gnome-tweak-tool, but its awesome :P
[19:19] <iocor> is it possible to add things to the top right text in ubuntu 11.04?
[19:19] <thunder1212> like in windoes os u create c drive d drive and u keep all data in d drive so if u format the data in d drive is safe
[19:19] <ballon5454> the new ubuntu version suport esound ?
[19:19] <heffay> no samba for ubuntu i guess
[19:19] <genupulas> !esound
[19:20] <oCean> !gnome3 | rinkukokiri remember that gnome3 is not supported
[19:20] <NictraSavios> fyksen, Ubuntu. Its in the repo's
[19:20] <ballon5454> ubuntu support esound ?
[19:20] <oCean> NictraSavios: fyksen no it is not in the repos, gnome3 is not supported
[19:20] <thunder1212> no apt-get distro for gnome 3 yet i know
[19:20] <fyksen> NictraSavios,
[19:20] <NictraSavios> fyksen, Personally Im using arch linux, came to #ubuntu to see if they needed some help with anything.
[19:20] <NictraSavios> oCean, yes it is, the shell is anyway.
[19:21] <fyksen> NictraSavios,  Y, iknow.. I', using it now, but I really enjoy using a more complete system..
[19:21] <phong_> hi guys,
[19:21] <NictraSavios> fyksen, Why not make it complete? You do release its what you make it?
[19:21] <pozic> ikonia: do you have any more details on setting that up?
[19:21] <[THC]AcidRain> !lastseen Octobyte
[19:21] <pozic> ikonia: in particular at boot these volume groups need to be activated, etc.
[19:21] <ballon5454> !esound
[19:21] <ikonia> pozic: from within the installer or manually post install ?
[19:22] <[THC]AcidRain> !esound OctoByte
[19:22] <pozic> ikonia: the easiest way.
[19:22] <[THC]AcidRain> !stfu Me
[19:22] <ballon5454> !esound OctoByte
[19:22] <djiefo> Hi. How can I install a theme file    .gz?
[19:22] <fyksen> NictraSavios, Well, it's not supported.. Harder to get help.
[19:22] <ikonia> pozic: I don't believe the installer can deal with it
[19:22] <NictraSavios> fyksen, I have a splash screen on bootup into gdm, I do most of my work on the GUI. But this is #Ubuntu, head to #archlinux to get help with that.
[19:22] <genupulas> ballan5454 no document man
[19:22] <oCean> [THC]AcidRain: control your language, don'tmess with the bot
[19:22] <[THC]AcidRain> sorry. what is the last seen command?
[19:22] <pozic> ikonia: /home is on a different hardisk.
[19:22] <oCean> [THC]AcidRain: there is none
[19:22] <ikonia> pozic: post install you just need to do a vgscan and depending on it's results a vgimport and they should be back for you to use as you want
[19:22] <[THC]AcidRain> :(
[19:23] <NictraSavios> fyksen, Arch linux isnt mean to be easy. But you can do anything on it
[19:23] <[THC]AcidRain> can anyone tell me why i cant change permissions on my own external hd?
[19:23] <pozic> ikonia: yes, but don't I have to say that it has to do the activation on boot somewhere?
[19:23] <NictraSavios> [THC]AcidRain, Is it in ntfs?
[19:23] <[THC]AcidRain> yes
[19:23] <KM0201> [THC]AcidRain: cuz you don't have permission?
[19:23] <llutz> !ntfs |[THC]AcidRain:
[19:23] <nit-wit> NictraSavios, good wiki's though, not that hard.;)
[19:23] <NictraSavios> [THC]AcidRain, Then it should be ignored. use sudo to change them.
[19:23] <[THC]AcidRain> i cant
[19:23] <ikonia> pozic: if you put the volumes you need in fstab they will get activated
[19:23] <NictraSavios> nit-wit, Very good wiki's,
[19:24] <[THC]AcidRain> permission is still denied through sudo
[19:24] <llutz> !ntfs-3g |[THC]AcidRain:
[19:24] <Omega> NictraSavios, I appreciate you coming to help us here, but don't get derailed into off-topicness :)
[19:24] <pozic> ikonia: ok, so I can basically just copy the existing /etc/fstab entries.
[19:24] <NictraSavios> Omega, Opps, sorry >.<
[19:24] <thunder1212> so if i don't format the /home drive it remains ssafe then how do i mount it back to new os ??
[19:24] <ikonia> pozic: you can use them as a base, but they may change slitly (shouldn't do unless you are using block id's)
[19:24] <NictraSavios> Omega, Trust me, I even do that in Arch. Start talking about mint lmao! , Ill try my hardest :)
[19:24] <pozic> ikonia: I think I am using UUIDs.
[19:25] <NictraSavios> thunder1212, When your reinstalling, go to "something else"
[19:25] <ikonia> pozic: ok, so they logical volumes shouldn't change, but the volume gruop may change it, you'll know once you do a vgscan
[19:25] <NictraSavios> thunder1212, Click on change, mount at "/home"
[19:25] <[THC]AcidRain> thanks!
[19:25] <NictraSavios> thunder1212, If you forget what /dev/sda it is, then open up gparted and take a look-see
[19:25] <Foran> hello me again :D
[19:26] <Foran> When i chose from boot menu to run Ubuntu, just black screen is shown, i can use ctrl+alt+f1, but can i fix it from there?
[19:26] <NictraSavios> Foran, Whats the issue?
[19:27] <thunder1212> ok i will try to be careful !!! thanks  a lot for the enlightening talk : )
[19:27] <thunder1212> bye..
[19:27] <alvinPH> hello, how can i install mozilla prism or webrunner? i'm running xubuntu 11.04*
[19:27] <Foran> When I chose to boot UBUNTU, it seems like starting to load, but then just black screen is shown.
[19:27] <djiefo> Hi. How can I install a theme file    .gz?  Some threads say to drag and drop but its not working here
[19:27] <Monotoko> heyy guys, I have no CD drive and Windows 7 at the moment..any idea how I can install Kubuntu 10.10 to a memory stick...or would WUBI suffice, or would I get some definate performance upgrades if I install it on its own?
[19:28] <[THC]AcidRain> does anyone know where i can download the ntfs-config package?
[19:28] <hatalar205> Monotoko try Unetbootin
[19:28] <NictraSavios> Foran, Okay, When you get into the grub prompt. You have a few tools. type "set root=(hdX,msdosX)" replace X with what your root system is. then type in "linux /boot/vm" , hit tab, should complete it for you then ls /boot, figure out what the *.img file is your init, then type initrd /boot/XXXX , where XXXX is your image, finnaly, type in boot
[19:29] <jnlsnl_> Im trying to follow this: http://linux.chrissweeney.co.uk/topic.php?t=40  ...When i boot from the sysres cd and run the command: e2fsck -f -c -v /dev/sda1 ....it get stuck on 12.75% every time :-( Not sure how to proceed
[19:29] <NictraSavios> Foran, If you get stuck, type "help" to see a list of available commands. Use that to get into ubuntu, then once your in , sudo update-grub
[19:29] <Monotoko> hatalar205, thanks! That's the program I've been after for a while...couldn't remember what it was called >.>
[19:30] <Foran> it's too fucking har for me xD is there any tutorial ?
[19:30] <NictraSavios> Foran, Plenty.
[19:30] <ikonia> Foran: control the language
[19:30] <Foran> sorry
[19:30] <aethe> Hello.
[19:31] <smokeycastle> why is there no manual page for exim?
[19:31] <JoeA1> hi I have a problem with tightvncserver, if it crashes all the apps started in the same session terminate, how to avoid that (I'm no familiar with the linux session management)?
[19:32] <NictraSavios> Oppie. Always make sure you plug in your laptops power cord
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> JoeA1, if you're using cli apps - check out screen (I don't know of a GUI equivalent)
[19:33] <amin`> Do dsl and pptp vpn connection stop and start which managed by network-manager have terminal commands?
[19:33] <JoeA1> ZykoticK9: I'm using VirtualBox in GUI mode (for starting and managing VMs)
[19:33] <NictraSavios> ZykoticK9, JoeA1 I suggest tmux over screen, screens codebase is unmanagable and development will cease within the next few months
[19:33] <cody> hello?
[19:34] <NictraSavios> cody Hi there
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> NictraSavios, really?  wow - that makes me a little sad
[19:34] <djiefo> Hi. How can I install a theme file    .gz?  Some threads say to drag and drop but its not working here
[19:34] <cody> hey i haven't used irc in a long time
[19:34] <NictraSavios> ZykoticK9, I helped code a part of screen, so I know the state its in, :( I feel sad too knowing my code went to waste
[19:34] <cody> anywere i should go for help?
[19:35] <NictraSavios> cody,  For ubuntu? Right here
[19:35] <cody> oh ok :)
[19:35] <NictraSavios> !ask | cody
[19:35] <JoeA1> NictraSavios: tmux supports remote desktop functionality?
[19:36] <cody> so whats good channel for role playing (non-sexual)
[19:36] <NictraSavios> joeA1, Never used it so I cant say. I am a diehard screen user, But I have to say, its dying. Im pretty sure it dose.
[19:36] <amin`> Do dsl and pptp vpn connection stop and start which managed by network-manager have terminal commands?
[19:36] <NictraSavios> cody, no clue >.< I dont do RP.
[19:36] <llutz> cody: ask in #freenode
[19:36] <djiefo> Hi. How can I install a theme file    .gz?  Some threads say to drag and drop but its not working here
[19:36] <cody> ok thanks :)
[19:37] <NictraSavios> djiefo, Extract it, there should be a readme
[19:37] <donkeyinspace> hello, im going crazy to make an usb startup pen drive. i tried startup disk creator but receive an error message when booting then someone suggested to use unetbootin but im not being able to install it, i see it in synaptic and able to download it but it doesn t install the package. anyone can help?
[19:37] <JoeA1> NictraSavios: okey thanks
[19:37] <NictraSavios> djiefo, If not, what type of theme is it? Desktop theme? They go in /usr/share/themes
[19:38] <NictraSavios> donkeyinspace, Do you get an error like "not com3r image"
[19:38] <djiefo> NictraSavios, thx
[19:38] <NictraSavios> djiefo, No problem, its what im here for :)
[19:38] <NictraSavios> donkeyinspace, And then it throws you to a command line?
[19:38] <alvinPH> how can i integrate the webrunner apps to the internet menu?
[19:39] <NictraSavios> alvinPH, Are they in another menu and you want them moved?
[19:39] <donkeyinspace> NictraSavios , ERROR  No configuration file found        no default or ui configuration directive        boot
[19:40] <heffay> my ubuntu 11.04 suddenly stopped wanting to connect to a shared directory on my network. the error messages said it failed to get the share list from the server.
[19:40] <NictraSavios> donkeyinspace, Hmm. never had that error. If it gives you any space to type things in, type "live" or "install" , failing that "vesamenu"
[19:40] <induz> could you suggest me a webcam application
[19:40] <JoeA1> NictraSavios: if I'm using cli apps which output log messages how can I see that output live without a screen?
[19:41] <induz>  i have ubuntu 10 running
[19:41] <nelson___> algum portugues?
[19:41] <NictraSavios> JoeAI, you mean like, print them off?
[19:41] <[THC]AcidRain> is my best bet to hook this external drive to a windows computer and change permissions?
[19:41] <induz> what programm to run the webcam
[19:41] <[THC]AcidRain> having 9.04 and it not being supported by repos is a major downfall
[19:41] <JoeA1> NictraSavios: I mean how to pipe the output to my current terminal
[19:41] <NictraSavios> induz, Cheese
[19:42] <[THC]AcidRain> ubuntu went to hell when they stopped
[19:42] <induz> I want to grab images from webcam
[19:42] <ikonia> !webcam | induz
[19:42] <djiefo> NictraSavios,  for something, i can't drag and drop in this folder maybe permissions
[19:42] <donkeyinspace> what does it mean a grey star in synaptic ubuntu packages?
[19:42] <llutz> [THC]AcidRain: use mount-options like uid/gid/umask when mounting the hdd to get permissions you want
[19:42] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm... ill check this out
[19:42] <NictraSavios> JoeA1, Oh, Should just happen if your watching it after you run the command. There is something out there to do this put i cannot quite remember it, its like put | aux ... something at the end.
[19:43] <NictraSavios> JoeA1, One second.
[19:43] <nelson___> portuguese speking?
[19:43] <nelson___> portuguese speaking?
[19:43] <elizabethanne> Hello?
[19:43] <[THC]AcidRain> there appears to be no mount options that say aobut permissions
[19:43] <[THC]AcidRain> ill google
[19:44] <kitche> JoeA1: you would tail the log file
[19:44] <gohdan> ~br | nelson___
[19:44] <gohdan> !br | nelson___
[19:44] <donkeyinspace> what does it mean a grey star in synaptic ubuntu packages?
[19:44] <th0r> [THC]AcidRain: I think the umask mount option addresses permissions
[19:44]  * gohdan damn you qwerty engineers!
[19:44] <elizabethanne> Please, I accidentally deleted my wireless icon from the top panel in Xubuntu 11.04. When I reboot, it appears for a split-second, then disappears.
[19:45] <NictraSavios> JoeA1, pacman -S package | tee filename
[19:45] <JoeA1> kitche: yeh but I want a live tail tool :)
[19:45] <NictraSavios> JoeA1, Command | tee Filename I belive
[19:45] <NictraSavios> JoeA1, Not 100%, never used it once. I always just read /var/log
[19:45] <JoeA1> kitche: so that I always see the new output
[19:45] <alvinPH> NictraSavios: i can't find prism or webrunner in software center
[19:45] <kitche> JoeA1: umm tail is live
[19:45] <kitche> JoeA1: tail -f
[19:46] <JoeA1> ah perfect
[19:46] <JoeA1> that is it
[19:46] <JoeA1> thanks a lot
[19:46] <NictraSavios> alvinPH, hmm, Do they work in linux? If so, try googling around a little. Ive never heard of either so someone else can probably provide more info.
[19:46] <NictraSavios> kitche, Thanks :) Ill remember that one aswell.
[19:47] <elizabethanne> ?
[19:47] <NictraSavios> elizabethanne, Right click pannel > add to panel
[19:47] <NictraSavios> elizabethanne, In gnome not unity right? I dont think you can delete it in unity...
[19:48] <elizabethanne> I'm in Xubuntu 11.04, using Xfce.
[19:48] <NictraSavios> elizabethanne, Try joining #xubuntu for that
[19:48] <tjiggi_fo> elizabethanne, rightclick the top panel, choose "add to panel" and click wireless icon
[19:48] <alvinPH> NictraSavios: prism is installed in peppermintOS that's why I am missing it in ubuntu
[19:49] <elizabethanne> There's no "Wireless Icon."
[19:49] <NictraSavios> alvinPH, Hmm, try getting it from online. Someone else might be able to help more, Idk much about prism or webrunner
[19:49] <ZykoticK9> alvinPH, wasn't prism dropped by mozilla?  i could certainly be wrong.  FYI prism isn't in Debian (stable) either.
[19:49] <elizabethanne> There's Network Monitor and Notification Area. Notification Area is grayed out.
[19:50] <Solaris444> Hi.  For some reason I can't get cron jobs to run on my Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS box.
[19:50] <tjiggi_fo> elizabethanne, one sec
[19:50] <elizabethanne> The only freenode displayed is #ubuntu.
[19:50] <alvinPH> ahh, it's renamed as webrunner now and can be added on to firefox , but whenever I create a shortcut it doesn't work
[19:50] <NictraSavios> elizabethanne,  type /join #xubuntu
[19:50] <Solaris444> I have the following entry in crontab for user "sysadmin": 0 21 * * 0,1,2,3,4,5 sudo backupscript
[19:51] <Solaris444> But it never runs.
[19:51] <ikonia> Solaris444: use full paths
[19:51] <ikonia> Solaris444: make sure sudo is setup to not need a password
[19:51] <Solaris444> It doesn't run when I use sudo /home/sysadmin/backupscript either.
[19:51] <llutz> Solaris444: why not using systemcrontab without sudo?
[19:51] <ikonia> Solaris444: what happans ?
[19:51] <NictraSavios> Solaris444, to edit sudo , if you dont know vi, use EDITOR=gedit visudo
[19:51] <Solaris444> ikonia: nothing happens.
[19:51] <ikonia> Solaris444: then there is a problem with your script
[19:51] <Solaris444> I have sudo permission for the script.
[19:52] <Solaris444> There is not a problem with the script.
[19:52] <ikonia> Solaris444: but your script is wrong if it does nothing
[19:52] <Solaris444> It runs to completion when manually invoked.
[19:52] <proSI> hello
[19:52] <NictraSavios> Solaris444, Is sudo setup to not ask for a password.
[19:52] <Solaris444> Creating a log file correctly and such.
[19:52] <proSI> I just installed ubuntu 11.04
[19:52] <Solaris444> sudo asks for password.
[19:52] <Solaris444> I have given it my password.
[19:52] <amin`> Do dsl and pptp vpn connection stop and start which managed by network-manager have terminal commands?
[19:52] <proSI> do I need any type of antivirus?
[19:52] <Solaris444> I also tried to run the script as root, and added the script to root's crontab.
[19:52] <proSI> if so, what is it?
[19:52] <ZykoticK9> !virus | proSI
[19:52] <ikonia> Solaris444: yes, so sudo needs to be setup for the user running the cronjob
[19:53] <NictraSavios> Solaris444, Hmm. Idk then
[19:53] <Solaris444> sudo has been set up for the user running the cron job.
[19:53] <proSI> ubottu thanks a lot :)
[19:53] <Solaris444> Is my time syntax correct? 0 21 * * 0,1,2,3,4,5
[19:53] <arleslie> Hey guys, I'm trying to install a network printer on Ubuntu 11.04 --- I keep getting this error: "Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)"
[19:54] <NictraSavios> THAT WAS COOL! phink in the archchat room can't do that haha!
[19:54] <ikonia> Solaris444: looks ok
[19:54] <NictraSavios> go ubuntu :P
[19:54] <Solaris444> that's what I thought.
[19:54] <NictraSavios> ubottu*
[19:54] <usr13> arleslie: Use IP address.
[19:54] <Solaris444> I just can't figure out why the system is ignoring the line.
[19:54] <Solaris444> I used crontab -e
[19:54] <arleslie> usr13, I am
[19:54] <Solaris444> and selected editor nano.
[19:54] <ZykoticK9> arleslie, well appears to be a Workgroup / Domain name issue - sorry, absolutely no help here.  Good luck.
[19:54] <Solaris444> crontab -l shows it installed.
[19:54] <usr13> arleslie: Can you ping it?
[19:54] <arleslie> usr13, yes
[19:55] <NictraSavios> brb
[19:55] <arleslie> ZykoticK9, any place I could get help then?
[19:55] <zelo> im having issues setting up a bluetooth mouse, im running the xfce manager, but when i click "turn on" from the icon it seems 2 turn on, but wheres the device manager thing to add the mouse?
[19:55] <usr13> arleslie: Where are you getting the error from?
[19:55] <omichalek> could anybody help, pls.? on another machine I just installed natty but no matter what I choose in GDM it just gets stuck showing wallpaper and mouse cursor :(
[19:55] <ZykoticK9> arleslie, you're in the right place - I'm just no help.
[19:55] <llutz> Solaris444: do you use full pathes inside your script too?
[19:55] <arleslie> usr13, the web-interface, the printer application in ubuntu just says "Unable to connect to CIFS host"
[19:55] <tjiggi_fo> elizabethanne, check in System Preferences > Startup Applications that Network Manager is ticked
[19:56] <arleslie> usr13, I should also point out that the printer is hosted on a Windows 7 computer.
[19:56] <usr13> arleslie: Then it is NOT a network printer.  It is a shared printer.
[19:56] <Solaris444> llutz: that shouldn't matter though?
[19:56] <Solaris444> It worked in Ubuntu 8.04
[19:56] <llutz> Solaris444: cron runs in limited environment, it does matter
[19:56] <arleslie> usr13, sorry it's what I considered a network printer.
[19:56] <usr13> arleslie: Probably best to plug the printer directly into the Ubuntu machine.
[19:57] <Solaris444> So why did it work in Ubuntu 8.04?
[19:57] <Solaris444> my script does cd to /var/log and then touches the log file for the script.
[19:57] <arleslie> usr13, I would if I could, but I guess I can find other work arounds.
[19:57] <Solaris444> Instead of touch /var/log/somelog
[19:57] <[THC]AcidRain> ok so how do i format a drive as a different file system?
[19:57] <[THC]AcidRain> perhaps that will help me the most
[19:57] <usr13> arleslie: Why can't you?
[19:57] <Solaris444> but like i said, that doesn't explain why it worked in ubuntu 8.04
[19:58] <arleslie> usr13, it's a family used printer and I don't have the room in my room to move it to
[19:58] <usr13> arleslie: Does your router have a print server option?
[19:58] <arleslie> usr13, no
[19:58] <th0r> [THC]AcidRain: mkfs handles most formats. Start at that man page
[19:59] <usr13> arleslie: Well, I don't know then.  I've never tried to access a printer shared from Win7
[19:59] <arleslie> usr13, have you had success trying to access a printer from any SMB?
[19:59] <usr13> arleslie: Yes
[20:00] <arleslie> usr13, well I can connect to the printer via smb (the printing application can see it) I just cannot print to it.
[20:02] <usr13> arleslie: I should clarify:  I have shared a printer connected to a Linux computer with a MS Windows computer.  That is the experience I have.  I do not have experience in accessing a printer shared from a MS Windows computer.
[20:03] <w1n5ton> I have a really annoying problem
[20:03] <arleslie> usr13, ok, thanks for your help anyway.
[20:03] <w1n5ton> AT LEAST once a day my computers IP changes
[20:03] <w1n5ton> I have to keep logging into the router and triggering ports for that computer
[20:03] <arleslie> w1n5ton, local network IP or the internet IP?
[20:03] <w1n5ton> Local
[20:03] <arleslie> w1n5ton, this is also a network issue and not a ubuntu issue.
[20:03] <trolololooooo> hey
[20:04] <w1n5ton> It does not do this with windows computers
[20:04] <heffay> my ubuntu 11.04 suddenly stopped wanting to connect to a shared directory on my network. the error messages said it failed to get the share list from the server.
[20:04] <w1n5ton> Is there a way to force it to use a static IP?
[20:04] <heffay> anyone?
[20:04] <arleslie> w1n5ton, near the top right of the screen, you should see two arrows (one up and one down)
[20:05] <w1n5ton> Okay?
[20:05] <gdude> okay so I did something stupid, I was going to change the owner of a folder and subfolders (-R) to www-data but I managed to make the change to / !
[20:05] <gdude> sudo stopped working so I logged in as root
[20:05] <gdude> changed the owner of everything to root
[20:05] <arleslie> w1n5ton, right click it, and click "Edit Connections"
[20:05] <[1]user1> if i add a host name to /etc/hosts as ip abc.com and hostname as abc.com how much  time later i can ssh into it as abc.com
[20:06] <gdude> and now I get when I use sudu... (wait checking)
[20:06] <gdude> "sudo: must be setuid root"
[20:06] <w1n5ton> Oh yeah I use wifi so it's different
[20:06] <cygnus_> [1]user1: right away
[20:06] <gdude> so what is stuid and how to I change it to root?
[20:07] <llutz> gdude: chmod +s $(which sudo)
[20:07] <gdude> setuid*
[20:07] <w1n5ton> Now what?
[20:07] <arleslie> w1n5ton, well then you should see a radio signal icon (half ovals increasing upward)
[20:07] <arleslie> w1n5ton, click the wireless tab
[20:07] <w1n5ton> I'm at the edit connections screen
[20:07] <w1n5ton> Okay
[20:07] <arleslie> w1n5ton, select your wireless connect, (auto <connection name>)
[20:07] <[THC]AcidRain> i hope this works....
[20:07] <w1n5ton> Okay
[20:07] <arleslie> w1n5ton, then click edit, then go to the IPv4 settings
[20:07] <je0rjey> how to set up a dial up connection for bsnl broadband in ubuntu?
[20:08] <w1n5ton> okay
[20:08] <Solaris444> ikonia: and now it works.
[20:08] <Solaris444> for some completely unknown reason.
[20:08] <arleslie> w1n5ton, if you already know your ip information change the dhcp to manual,  if not right click the same icon as before and click "Connection Information"
[20:08] <aguitel_> i need to install network-manager-gnome in other pc with no internet connection ,how i do that ?
[20:09] <gdude> llutz: I'm not sure I follow, doing "chmod +s" to a dummy txt file and doing ls -l gives me -rwSr-Sr-- , what are those S's?
[20:09] <[THC]AcidRain> im formatting /dev/sdb
[20:09] <je0rjey> clear
[20:09] <w1n5ton> Okay
[20:09] <[THC]AcidRain> is this safe?
[20:09] <[THC]AcidRain> well i hope it is... its already started
[20:09] <th0r> aguitel_: download the package from packages.ubuntu.com on another computer
[20:09] <arleslie> w1n5ton, once you know your network information, change the Method to manual then click add and type in the same information
[20:09] <llutz> gdude: man chmod        (suid/sgid)
[20:09] <arleslie> w1n5ton, after you click save you will have that ip the entire time
[20:10] <aguitel_> th0r, but the dependences ?
[20:10] <je0rjey> how to dialup a internet connection when the modem is in bridge mode?
[20:10] <Solaris444> llutz: and now it works for some reason.
[20:10] <llutz> [THC]AcidRain: /dev/sdb is the full drive. Are you sure you don't want to use a partition to create a filesystem?
[20:10] <arleslie> [THC]AcidRain, as long as you want to erase that drive, should be altho since your not doing a partition I'm not too surer about the outcome.
[20:10] <Solaris444> Didn't do anything different.
[20:10] <th0r> aguitel_: you will have to have them as well...will need to figure it all out ahead of time
[20:10] <w1n5ton> what do I put for gateway?
[20:10] <llutz> Solaris444: moon, stars, who knows
[20:10] <Solaris444> No kidding.
[20:10] <th0r> arleslie: you didn't use an ip from the dhcp pool did you? that might be assigned to another computer by the router at some point
[20:10] <[THC]AcidRain> arleslie: yeah it warned me of that. im just using it for storage. in hopes that i can change user permissions
[20:11] <klown> I'm having an issue with my display.  I cannot fully see my task bars due to the resolution being wrong (I'm using a 32in tv as my monitor, its not my tv)  ubuntu 11.04 (installed today), nvidia gtx 260.  Any ideas?
[20:11] <Solaris444> Anyway thanks. :)
[20:11] <Solaris444> exit
[20:11] <aguitel_> th0r, ihow download the package with all dependences?
[20:11] <Solaris444> oops
[20:11] <arleslie> w1n5ton, what is your current ip?
[20:11] <[THC]AcidRain> im hoping thats just my external hdd
[20:11] <w1n5ton> <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:11] <th0r> aguitel_: the dependencies are listed at that website if I remember correctly
[20:11] <DannyS> Viewing a Quicktime stream from the Apple website is very buggy using gecko engine and mplayer plugin.  Pinguy 11.04 seems to have resolved that issue.  Streams perform flawlessly.  Does anyone know how to get the same result in Ubuntu?
[20:11] <cemc> hi. I'm trying to disable ipv6 autoconfig through sysctl, but my wlan0 keeps getting autoconfig turned on, I think by NetworkManager. how can I disable it for good?
[20:11] <arleslie> th0r, it is very unlikely for that to happen and the dhcp server normally checks
[20:11] <w1n5ton> Put that as the address?
[20:12] <w1n5ton> and subnet mask as netmask?
[20:12] <arleslie> w1n5ton, try <IP_ADDRESS> if you don't have internet after using that, open it back up and try <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:12] <arleslie> w1n5ton, the subnet mask is the netmask
[20:12] <w1n5ton> So it's the IP of the router?
[20:12] <arleslie> w1n5ton, yes
[20:12] <[THC]AcidRain> http://whatismyip.com
[20:12] <w1n5ton> it is <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:12] <th0r> w1n5ton: you can determine the gateway and dns addresses from ifconfig
[20:13] <arleslie> w1n5ton, then the gateway would be <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:13] <w1n5ton> I still have internet
[20:13] <llutz> [THC]AcidRain: that will hardly tell you your internal ip
[20:13] <symptom> wth is wrong with traceroute6
[20:13] <arleslie> [THC]AcidRain, thanks, but we were getting the internal ip
[20:13] <gohdan> [THC]AcidRain:  that shows the external wlan ip and not the internal address?? O_o?
[20:13] <[THC]AcidRain> oh sry.
[20:13] <[THC]AcidRain> ifconfig is the way to go then
[20:13] <arleslie> w1n5ton, ok, then you should have the same ip for the entire time that computer connects to your wireless connection.
[20:13] <symptom> $ traceroute6 google.com
[20:14] <symptom> traceroute: unknown host google.com
[20:14] <arleslie> symptom, can you ping google.com ?
[20:14] <cemc> symptom: try: ipv6.google.com
[20:14] <symptom> yes
[20:14] <thepentester> hi
[20:14] <w1n5ton> what if it disconnects
[20:14] <arleslie> w1n5ton, it'll use that IP when it reconnects
[20:14] <symptom> cemc, same
[20:14] <symptom> arleslie, yes I can ping
[20:14] <arleslie> symptom, are you using IPv6 or IPv4?
[20:15] <w1n5ton> it works
[20:15] <w1n5ton> I tested it
[20:15] <w1n5ton> thanks
[20:15] <arleslie> w1n5ton, your welcome
[20:15] <thepentester> ipv6 doesnt work in turkey ar
[20:15] <thepentester> ar
[20:15] <cemc> symptom: hm, it works for me, traceroute6 ipv6.google.com
[20:15] <th0r> that was a heck of a way to say thank you
[20:15] <cemc> but traceroute6 google.com indeed is not working, because google.com doesn't have AAAA I guess
[20:16] <ravage> cemc: ipv6.google.com
[20:16] <gohdan> http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/
[20:16] <cemc> ravage: that's what I said, ipv6.google.com is working
[20:16] <ravage> it's the only available native host for 99% of the users
[20:16] <symptom> arleslie, thats a great question... I dont really know.  i have both v4 and v6 behind my router
[20:17] <ravage> but read the link
[20:17] <ravage> all explained there
[20:17] <arleslie> symptom, what cemc says is corrent, google.com does not have an IPv6 ip (which means traceroute6 will not work) try ipv6.google.com
[20:17] <Lucius_Tolkar> Hey guys, I seem to be having a problem. I installed ubuntu 11.04 yesterday, got diablo 2 to install, downloaded a couple of free gnome programs, and then shut down. Went back to in this morning and now the operating system wont load, I just get a blinking cursor
[20:17] <gskellig> awhile ago, I had unity problems (unity would not work at boot) I have since fixed those, but now 3/4 times I boot it just hangs and I have to force reboot
[20:17] <gskellig> unity would not start rather,
[20:17] <klown> I'm having an issue with my display.  I cannot fully see my task bars due to the resolution being wrong (I'm using a 32in tv as my monitor, its not my tv)  ubuntu 11.04 (installed today), nvidia gtx 260.  Any ideas?
[20:17] <symptom> arleslie, i did... so ubuntu does not come with a traceroute4 installed?
[20:18] <usr13> !grub2 | Lucius_Tolkar
[20:18] <arleslie> symptom, interesting ... I guess it does not
[20:18] <cemc> symptom: what are you trying to do exactly?
[20:18] <symptom> cemc, just fooling around and tab completed tracer and found there was only traceroute6, then it said host not found....
[20:19] <symptom> So i was supprised and posted here.
[20:19] <symptom> apt-get installed traceroute works fine
[20:19] <NictraSavios> symptom, traceroute www.google.com < what happends
[20:19] <Taymon> I have a USB drive mounted and know the mount point, but need to determine the device name. Is there a command for that?
[20:19] <[1]user1> if i add a host name to /etc/hosts as ip abc.com and hostname as abc.com how much  time later i can ssh into it as abc.com
[20:19] <arleslie> symptom, to install ipv4 traceroute, use command, "sudo apt-get install traceroute"
[20:19] <symptom> thanks all.... I suppose Ubuntu is really trying to push everyone to v6... not a bad thing.
[20:19] <[1]user1> anyone??
[20:19] <symptom> arleslie, yea works fine
[20:19] <symptom> thanks
[20:19] <arleslie> symptom, ok
[20:20] <edwardthefma> help
[20:20] <guntbert> [1]user1: you need to put the ip address there
[20:20] <arleslie> It is rather out that ubuntu does not install traceroute but does install traceroute6
[20:20] <NictraSavios> !ask | edwardthefma
[20:20] <lucas-arg> is sony serie y fully supported in ubuntu 11.04? or where can i find this info?
[20:20] <edwardthefma> my wifi card sint working propory
[20:21] <NictraSavios> edwardthefma, whats wrong with it?
[20:21] <[THC]AcidRain> great...IT WORKED!
[20:21] <gskellig> Awhile ago I had unity problems, since fixing them my computer hangs on boot 3/4 times, I have to force restart several times before it will start. Any ideas?
[20:21] <[1]user1> no one?
[20:21] <[THC]AcidRain> now i just need to change the name and remount!
[20:21] <[THC]AcidRain> thanks for the help again #ubuntu!
[20:21] <[1]user1> guntberg: where?
[20:21] <gohdan> symptom: not all google subdomains are v6 ready. so you usually have to specify them manually right now. i.e. www.*, mail.* etc
[20:21] <usr13> symptom: Ubuntu can't really push people to IPv6.  It has to be done via the internet's infrastructure
[20:21] <edwardthefma> it isint reconsiing my networks
[20:21] <edwardthefma> http://pastebin.com/HfWW4mEp
[20:21] <edwardthefma> thare is the output of sudo lspci -k
[20:21] <symptom> usr13, oh I know, but it is their suttle way of ..... encouraging... i suppose
[20:22] <guntbert> !tab | [1]user1
[20:22] <symptom> first linux distro i have used that comes with v6 utils installed by default and not v4.
[20:22] <usr13> symptom: Well, it's not just Ubuntu...
[20:22] <NictraSavios> edwardthefma, It should.
[20:22] <guntbert> [1]user1: just like <IP_ADDRESS> abc.com
[20:23] <NictraSavios> edwardthefma, Your card is one of the ones that should be detected
[20:23] <usr13> symptom: Win7 is also IPv6 capable
[20:23] <[1]user1> guntberg: i have put this in my /etc/hosts  65.xx.23.xx abc.com and ran "/sbin/hostname abc.com". after this i did /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:23] <gskellig> Awhile ago I had unity problems, since fixing them my computer hangs on boot 3/4 times, I have to force restart several times before it will start. Any ideas?
[20:23] <guntbert> Taymon: mount  will tell you
[20:23] <gohdan> symptom: most of them come with v6 tools ootb but the system defaults to v4 for the foreseeable future
[20:24] <NictraSavios> edwardthefma, Try googling the network controller with "linux driver for ..."
[20:24] <[1]user1> guntbert: i have put this in my /etc/hosts  65.xx.23.xx abc.com and ran "/sbin/hostname abc.com". after this i did /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:24] <symptom> usr13, I dont mean to start a flame war here, I just found it interesting.  capable is different from only.  for the record, it doesnt really bother me, I just found it interesting.
[20:24] <symptom> gohdan, ubuntu defaults to v6 utils
 i think the driver isint working proporl
[20:24] <th0r> [1]user1: is that in your computer...you are setting YOUR hostname?
[20:24] <guntbert> [1]user1: you want to change the name of your local system?
[20:24] <[1]user1> th0r: yes
[20:24] <BonnieP> hey
[20:24] <NictraSavios> edwardthefma, Hmm. Its worth a try. Broadcoms are notorious
[20:24] <[1]user1> guntbert: no my server
[20:24] <[1]user1> th0r: my server machine
[20:24] <BonnieP> does someone here knows how to unban yourself?
[20:25] <BonnieP> on ICQnet?
[20:25] <th0r> [1]user1: another computer will not see that. Either you have to obtain a dns registration for your computer, or enter that information in the hosts file for the OTHER computer
[20:25] <guntbert> !ot | BonnieP
[20:25] <[1]user1> th0r: yes i have sshed to it and have made these changes
[20:25] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i create a partition table? its not letting me change the name of the drive now...
[20:25] <[THC]AcidRain> or its not allowing me to mount it as a different name
[20:26] <WizardDio> hello people
[20:26] <[THC]AcidRain> sudo mkdosfs /dev/sdb -n Server2
[20:26] <[THC]AcidRain> mkdosfs 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008)
[20:26] <BonnieP> well i use ubuntu....so am i not allowed to ask some other question?
[20:26] <[THC]AcidRain> mkdosfs: Device partition expected, not making filesystem on entire device '/dev/sdb' (use -I to override)
[20:26] <th0r> [1]user1: as soon as you added that to the other computer, they should have been able to ping the name
[20:26] <NictraSavios> edwardthefma, I use a gateway md73, atheros ar928x driver, needed it for packet injection.  This is a support channel for the OS.
[20:26] <r3m_> .
[20:26] <[1]user1> th0r: neither i am able to ping abc.com from that machine.
[20:27] <[THC]AcidRain> its to late... i formatted the whole drive...
[20:27] <guntbert> BonnieP: no, only for ubuntu support
[20:27] <NictraSavios> BonnieP, Go to #ubuntu-offtopic for those matters
[20:27] <BonnieP> so what, cant you make an exception?
[20:27] <th0r> [1]user1: are you working through a wifi router? if so you will need to port forward at the router
[20:27] <BonnieP> i need some help!
[20:27] <guntbert> BonnieP: not here
[20:27] <BonnieP> then where?
[20:27] <NictraSavios> .... mod please?
[20:27] <klown> I don't even think ot is the place for her to be.
[20:27] <WizardDio> how can fix mesage busybox?
[20:28] <[1]user1> thOr: server is on a vps. how do i do that
[20:28] <guntbert> BonnieP: you can try in #ubuntu-offtopic as the text from ubottu told you
[20:28] <trijntje> Hi all, has anybody been able to activate third mouse button emulation in natty?
[20:28] <BonnieP> oh.
[20:28] <BonnieP> ok then
[20:28] <klown> I'm having an issue with my display.  I cannot fully see my task bars due to the resolution being wrong (I'm using a 32in tv as my monitor, its not my tv)  ubuntu 11.04 (installed today), nvidia gtx 260.  Any ideas?
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> [THC]AcidRain, you can use fdisk or gparted to partition the drive - then format the "partition"
[20:28] <th0r> [1]user1: on a virtual server? I doubt you will be given ssh access to a virtual server
[20:29] <aziz> what else can I do if "dd" cannot copy a DVD to an iso image file?
[20:29] <WizardDio> i have 32 inc tv as monitor but i use intel
[20:29] <gohdan> klown:  try playing around with the refresh rate
[20:30] <klown> gohdan, I have, a few times.  Tried different resolutions, then I tried to add a few resolutions with xrandr, and I kept getting an error.  So I don't know where to go now.
[20:30] <gohdan> havent used a plain tv as a monitor in years though.  remember that would sometimes help though.
[20:31] <WizardDio> http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/canonical-making-full-fledged-ubuntu-tablet-push-in-early-2011/

[20:32] <trijntje> thats one of the best little things about linux
[20:32] <pozic> ikonia: what are the names of the vg tools?
[20:33] <Lukas> hi
[20:33] <Lukas> someone here0
[20:33] <guntbert> aziz: in what way "cannot"? what is the error?
[20:33] <WizardDio> yes Lukas
[20:33] <aziz> one sec
[20:33] <guntbert> Lukas: plenty,  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[20:33] <gohdan> klown:  is a flat panel, pal/ntsc crt or a rptv?
[20:33] <Lukas> i need help
[20:33] <Lukas> yeah
[20:34] <gohdan> !ask | Lukas
[20:34] <aziz> guntbert: dd: reading `/dev/dvd': Input/output error
[20:34] <ZykoticK9> aziz, you can use "cat" to create ISO images...
[20:34] <Lukas> how can i start wine with sudo?
[20:34] <aziz> k, I'll try that too
[20:34] <aziz> but how do I know which /dev/* ?
[20:34] <th0r> Lukas: why in the world would you want to?
[20:34] <gohdan> Lukas: what are you trying to run in wine that requires sudo???
[20:34] <ZykoticK9> aziz, /dev/cdrom would probably work
[20:35] <guntbert> aziz: is the device mounted? it should not be
[20:35] <Lukas> i want to start it with nice
[20:35] <Lukas> and a high priority
[20:35] <WizardDio> can i install ubuntu 11.04 on Gtablet by View sonic?
[20:35] <aziz> guntbert: oh! k, i'll unmount
[20:35] <ShermanBoyd> could someone please post their natty server /etc/apt/source.list for me?  Mine got messed up ...
[20:35] <xrdodrx> trijntje, pressing both the left and right mouse buttons doesn't work?
[20:35] <aziz> ZykoticK9: i think i tried with /dev/cdrom before
[20:35] <trijntje> xrdodrx, nope, got disabled in natty, for some crazy reason
[20:35] <guntbert> Lukas: don't run normal programs as root
[20:35] <gohdan> lukas: youre asking for a world of hurt
[20:35] <Lukas> no i want to start a game
[20:35] <Lukas> that need more resources

[20:36] <Lukas> how?
[20:36] <xrdodrx> trijntje, odd, working for me...
[20:36] <[1]user1> th0r: it has an ip
[20:36] <trijntje> xrdodrx, fresh install or upgrade?
[20:36] <[1]user1> th0r: i need to assign its domain
[20:36] <klown> gohdan, flatscreen, 720p
[20:36] <ZykoticK9> Lukas, i highly doubt trying running wine with higher priority will change anything - and running wine as root is a bad idea
[20:36] <ohwow> hello, im trying to install ubuntu from usb stick. i used usb-creator and it wrote .iso to usb. Now, when I try to boot from that usb is just says "SYSLINUX bla bla" and nothing happens.
[20:37] <Lukas> if i want to start a programm with the highest priority i need sudo
[20:37] <gohdan> Lukas: it is not advised to run normal native applications as sudo unless absolutely necessary... god help you if you if you do it with wine of all things
[20:37] <aziz> guntbert: hmm, I unmounted the device, but still getting the same error
[20:37] <th0r> [1]user1:a web hosting server should already be reachable by name. I suspect there is a problem specific to ssh, not a name/IP issue
[20:37] <Lukas> mhm
[20:37] <Lukas> but it always lags so much
[20:37] <th0r> [1]user1: can you get to the http page by name?
[20:37] <WizardDio> any1 here whit tablet expiriance?
[20:38] <guntbert> aziz: tell us the command too
[20:38] <ShermanBoyd> could someone please post their natty /etc/apt/source.list for me?
[20:38] <trijntje> Lukas, I dont think it lags dure to lack of cpu
[20:38] <Lukas> yes
[20:38] <[1]user1> th0r: no http server is running ther
[20:38] <aziz> cat /dev/dvd > /home/aziz/dvd.iso
[20:38] <gohdan> Lukas: probably because it is not native. that is the nature of how wine intercepts api calls
[20:38] <aziz> cat /dev/cdrom > /home/aziz/dvd.iso
[20:38] <Lukas> but under windows it dint lags
[20:38] <ohwow> hello, im trying to install ubuntu from usb stick. i used usb-creator and it wrote .iso to usb. Now, when I try to boot from that usb is just says "SYSLINUX bla bla" and nothing happens.
[20:38] <aziz> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/aziz/dvd.iso
[20:38] <th0r> [1]user1: do you have a domain name registered?
[20:38] <gohdan> Lukas: what game is it?
[20:39] <Lukas> Starcraft 2
[20:39] <aziz> doesn't matter if I'm su
[20:39] <xrdodrx> trijntje, it might be dependant on desktop environment, I'm using xfce...but I have no idea why they'd take that out :|
[20:39] <F3ar> ShermanBoyd, http://pastebin.com/NG3WdpqB
[20:39] <ShermanBoyd> F3ar: Thank you!
[20:40] <[THC]AcidRain> bah!
[20:40] <trijntje> xrdodrx, fyi, it is done on purpose https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/710762. And the bug has a fix, so I'm happy, thanks for your time
[20:40] <[THC]AcidRain> somehow it went back to the ntfs!
[20:40] <[1]user1> th0r: yes.
[20:40] <guntbert> ohwow: did you check the iso with md5sum?
[20:40] <gps> hi
[20:41] <xrdodrx> trijntje, sorry I couldn't be of more help :)
[20:41] <th0r> [1]user1: and you have a virtual web server, not the whole server...just a virtual server?

[20:41] <Lukas> gohdan ?
[20:41] <KM0201> .
[20:41] <[1]user1> th0r: i have a ip which has a ubuntu server running on it.
[20:42] <trijntje> xrdodrx, no problem, I'm happy I found out how to fix it. And now I thing I'm gonna complain on the bug report for a bit ;)
[20:42] <xrdodrx> trijntje, according to this bug report the X.org developers took it out on purpose
[20:42] <xrdodrx> why would they do that is beyond me
[20:42] <th0r> [1]user1: ok...not a virtual server. you need to enter that name/ip combination in your computer in /etc/hosts. It doesn't matter if it is in the server or not...so long as your computer can convert the name to the ip you should be in business
[20:43] <Lukas> is there a away to start windows games with a higher priority?
[20:43] <[THC]AcidRain> wow. im about to throw this comp
[20:43] <ohwow> guntbert: yes
[20:43] <trijntje> Lukas, isnt it due to the graphics card, and not the cpu?
[20:43] <[THC]AcidRain> i hate windows. im using ubuntu. but hate windows.
[20:43] <[THC]AcidRain> im off to work
[20:43] <[THC]AcidRain> peace
[20:43] <Lukas> yes but under windows it works
[20:44] <Lukas> with very good graphics
[20:44] <trijntje> Lukas, nice only works for the cpu, not the video card
[20:44] <Lukas> oh
[20:44] <[1]user1> th0r: i have done that. and restarted networking. but cant ping it even from server machine.
[20:44] <trijntje> Lukas, sadly wine is not windows, so there might be differences
[20:44] <Lukas> mhm
[20:44] <guntbert> ohwow: strange
[20:44] <trijntje> Lukas, you could try updating to the latest version of wine, and/or ask in #wine
[20:44] <th0r> [1]user1: if you ping the name from your computer, does the ping response show an IP address>
[20:44] <thepentester> both use ubuntu and windows together
[20:45] <gohdan> Lukas: try checking recommendations on appdb.winehq.org or asking on #winehq how to run as a higher priority or with better performance
[20:45] <thepentester> grub is made for that
[20:45] <MethedMan> anybody know how to *browse* through "dict" servers such as "wn" and "gcine"
[20:45] <th0r> [1]user1: the first line of ping should say PING <domainname> <IP>
[20:45] <gohdan> Lukas:  but DO NOT run it with sudo
[20:45] <Lukas> i cant run it with sudo
[20:45] <Lukas> its said that its not my libery
[20:45] <th0r> [1]user1: even if the ping doesn't work you should see that first line. that would tell you the name/IP conversion is working in your computer
[20:45] <guntbert> ohwow: please have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[20:46] <gohdan> there is probably a reason for that
[20:46] <klown> I'm having an issue with my display.  I cannot fully see my task bars due to the resolution being wrong (I'm using a 32in tv as my monitor, its not my tv)  ubuntu 11.04 (installed today), nvidia gtx 260.  Any ideas?
[20:46] <[1]user1> th0r: no  .it resolves on server.  but not from my pc.
[20:46] <klown> ugh, didnt mean to post that again, lol.
[20:46] <[1]user1> th0r: but even from server showing ip resolution due to /etc/hosts there is no ping reply
[20:47] <th0r> [1]user1: running linux on your pc I assume. The entry should be in /etc/hosts, and it might require ipv6 now
[20:47] <MethedMan> i am using some of the dictionaries offline but would like to browse through them if possible
[20:47] <Lukas> i cant run it with sudo
[20:47] <Lukas> that my problem
[20:47] <MethedMan> any help would be appreciated
[20:47] <gohdan> klown:  iirc there is a way to manually reposition the position of the entire display via the os but it was quite some time ago and a rather obscure hack
[20:47] <[1]user1> th0r: come on ipv6. is it already june or was it to launch in august!!
[20:48] <Lukas> wine said that i am nit the owner
[20:48] <[1]user1> th0r: how do i do that.
[20:48] <[1]user1> th0r: is this the reason why my firefox refuses to open gmail also often/
[20:48] <gohdan> klown: guess it is time to brush up on your googlefu
[20:48] <th0r> [1]user1: if you can't ping the server from the server using the name, then there is a firewall or router issue involved
[20:48] <Lukas> so thank you for all the help
[20:49] <klown> gohdan, I've done it before, back in like ubuntu 8, but it required fixing the xorg.conf, but the person who helped me, wrote my xorg.conf for me.
[20:49] <klown> gohdan, I've been messing with google, I'm not just sitting around, believe me :P
[20:49] <ohwow> hello, im trying to install ubuntu from usb stick. i used usb-creator and it wrote .iso to usb. Now, when I try to boot from that usb is just says "SYSLINUX bla bla" and nothing happens. I just tried the same thing with different usb stick. Maybe i have to wait longer before it loads? but 5 minutes sounds enough
[20:49] <th0r> [1]user1: for instance, I have the following line in my /etc/hosts/....<IP_ADDRESS>  mother.....and I can ping mother from mother
[20:50] <th0r> [1]user1: but when you resolve a domain name to an external ip, then the ping has to go out to the network and get routed back, and there is where you are losing it
[20:50] <cypha``> I tried installing VBoxGuestAdditions, but sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run didn't seem to do anything
[20:50] <cypha``> is there a log I can look at
[20:50] <cypha``> to see if something was installed?
[20:50] <slakcphil> anyone here ever do any nes rom hacking?
[20:50] <[1]user1> th0r: yes exactly/
[20:50] <th0r> [1]user1: can you ping the external ip from the server?
[20:50] <gohdan> !backups | klown
[20:50] <[1]user1> th0r: yes
[20:51] <klown> why am I backing my system up?
[20:51] <klown> :P
[20:52] <black_> mam problem
[20:52] <th0r> [1]user1: that makes no sense. If you are seeing the ip address when you try to ping the name (from the server), then the ping should work as it is using the IP even if you entered the domain name
[20:52] <gohdan> klown: storage is cheap. shame on you for not having your ancient systems and their confs backed up somewhere!!
[20:52] <BluesKaj> klown, which graphics card , and which driver is it using ?
[20:52] <klown> nvidia gtx 260
[20:52] <klown> and its using nvidia-current right now.
[20:53] <gohdan> i still have a caldera (sco linux) openlinux 1.3 system laying around here somewhere if i ever need it
[20:53] <klown> 270.41.06
[20:53] <black_> elo
[20:53] <insomina> im trying to enable a gdm login theme from gnome-look... is this not possible in ubuntu 10.10 onwards?
[20:53] <klown> gohdan, normally I get mad at linux, and swear I'll never go back, and always end up doing it.
[20:54] <klown> so, when I format, I'm upset, and backing up is the last thing I think of.
[20:54] <BluesKaj> ok klown what monitor and connection type ?
[20:54] <klown> 32inch tv, hdmi
[20:54] <klown> 720p
[20:54] <klown> panasonic flatscreen.
[20:55] <pozic> Does Ubuntu use any LVM by default?
[20:55] <pozic> If not, if I remove a Logical Volume which is now occupied by something else, will that something else not be deleted?
[20:55] <pozic> The 'something else' is Ubuntu.
[20:55] <gohdan> klown:  refresh rate applies too since its a tv
[20:55] <melkor2> hi
[20:55] <insomina> i appreciate that my question may seem trivial .. but if anyone could share some light i would be grateful. Is the login screen manager now crippled in releases of ubuntu. i cannot apply themes from gnome-look
[20:56] <melkor2> I have just installed some new packages and the unity's panel has crashed
[20:57] <_chun> anyone with dosbox installed do me a quick favour?
[20:57] <melkor2> I restart but I cant get back working
[20:57] <melkor2> not in unity nor in classic
[20:57] <[1]user1> th0r: sorry even the ip is not getting a reply. but why? how do i check if ping server is working or not. what should i install as a dns service or whatever?
[20:57] <pankaj_sharma> _chun, hmm
[20:57] <gohdan> _chun:  whatcha need?
[20:57] <melkor2> and If I run "unity" in the console, I get a segmentation fault....
[20:57] <prower> hello :> i've had a strange problem with my dvd burner since...probably 9.04 actually. although it can burn at speeds up to 32x for cd's and 16x for dvd's, no matter what software i use to burn a disc the speed is always limited to 4x
[20:57] <mikikar> lang pl?
[20:57] <klown> gohdan, the refresh rate wouldnt have anything to do with the screen being "too big", would it?
[20:57] <BluesKaj> klown, why 720 , most large scrn monitors are 1920x1080 ..my monitor is a 42" panasonic and that's it's native res ...try changing to that
[20:58] <_chun> gohdan: just need someone to try connecting to my ipx server, see if it's possible for people not on my local network
[20:58] <klown> 1920x1080 wont work, tried already
[20:58] <gohdan> !pl | mikikar
[20:58] <BluesKaj> I'm talking about the tv setting not the nvidia, klown
[20:58] <klown> here is /var/log/xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf, dont know if it will help http://pastebin.com/111TVucw
[20:58] <[1]user1> th0r: i can ping from my local machine to my server ip thoughbut not from my server to itself'sip
[20:58] <black_> n
[20:58] <mikikar> thax
[20:58] <black_> join #linuxmint-pl
[20:59] <klown> BluesKaj, So change it to 1080i?
[20:59] <BluesKaj> yup
[20:59] <klown> let me see if I can figure out how.
[21:01] <gohdan> _chun:  what services do you have running in dosbox?
[21:01] <gohdan> really should just use freedos in a vm
[21:02] <guntbert> _chun: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[21:02] <prower> hmm...well, hopefully someone will stop by with an answer on that one later :> in a more general sense, how is unity stability wise...i'm trying to decide whether or not to download ubuntu or kubuntu for my upcoming upgrade
[21:03] <boodieman> prower, stable here
[21:03] <[1]user1> th0r: ??
[21:03] <iceroot> prower: if you dont like it use kde, xfce4, lxde, gnome2
[21:04] <prower> boodieman: ah, well that's encouraging at least...most of the people i've run into have had nothing but complaints, though i suspect that's probably because it's just radically different from what people are used to on a desktop
[21:04] <jkoltner> Hello... This might not be Ubuntu-specific, although I could swear it's only started recently after some Ubuntu updates: If I execute "mv test.txt test.TXT" in bash, I get the error, "mv: 'test.txt' and 'test.TXT' are the same file."  Well, um, no, they're not!  Any idea how to make this behave?
[21:04] <prower> iceroot: i'm aware that there are other choices, yes :> i was just wondering how unity stacked up, never used it before
[21:04] <iceroot> prower: use a live-cd and find out
[21:04] <thepentester> unity sucks
[21:04] <thepentester> :D
[21:04] <boodieman> prower, its different, but its stable
[21:04] <[1]user1> th0r: how do i install dns service and remove firewalls
[21:04] <jkoltner> Oh, wait, I think I know my problem... this is on a memory card that I believe is FAT32 formatted
[21:04] <jkoltner> Sorry :-)
[21:05] <prower> boodieman: the impression i got from watching videos was that it was more tablet oriented :> i wouldn't doubt that canonical might have plans to produce an ubuntu tablet sometime in the distant future
[21:06] <boodieman> prower, I use it on my desktop machine
[21:06] <prower> thepentester, did you have any specific problems or did you just not like it in general?
[21:06] <candyban> anyone know a tool that emulates windows terminal server?
[21:07] <thepentester> prower ı am a netbook user and unity is soo useless for my netbook
[21:07] <jkoltner> candyban: check this out...
[21:07] <jkoltner> candyban: /home/jkoltner/Desktop/eBay
[21:07] <jkoltner> mmmm
[21:07] <thepentester> ı use 10.04.2 LTS right now and its ok
[21:07] <iceroot> candyban: no
[21:07] <jkoltner> candyban: sorry, I swear copy and paste isn't working, one moment
[21:07] <iceroot> candyban: but you can have a linux based terminal server e.g. with nx
[21:08] <jkoltner> candyban: Try here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xrdp/
[21:08] <prower> thepentester: ahh, that's unfortunate i was thinking of installing it on my acer aspire one as well
[21:08] <aziz> guntbert: now it's working. I didn't invoke the special install script for reading dvd's. sorry for bothering. :)
[21:08] <guntbert> aziz: glad you worked it out :)
[21:08] <aziz> yea, thx
[21:09] <candyban> jkoltner, great, I'll give it a try ... thanks
[21:09] <boodieman> prower, you dont have to use unity of you dont want to
[21:10] <MonkeyDust> about PGP: since the upgrade to natty, i am unable decrypt files, it seems i have deleted some key(s) in seahorse, hint & tips anyone?
[21:11] <prower> boodieman: yes, i know :> which is good, you need to have that choice there...i wouldn't run a version of ubuntu that didn't let me choose xorg over wayland for example, what a bug ridden mess that is :P
[21:11] <gohdan> !backups | MonkeyDust
[21:12] <MonkeyDust> gohdan: they are single files, not backup files
[21:12] <ShermanBoyd> MonkeyDust: If you can't find those keys you are out of luck
[21:12] <gohdan> MonkeyDust:  you always backup your key pair
[21:12] <ShermanBoyd> MonkeyDust: you should always back up your keys
[21:12] <ShermanBoyd> MonkeyDust: I even print them out
[21:13] <nelson___> (using ubuntu 11.04)I instaled nvidia drivers with the ADITIONAL DRIVERS option, using the recomended version. Unity is working fine. But i have this message: driver was activated but not in use (something like that, i'm using portuguese version)
[21:13] <klown> BluesKaj, I dont think I can change this to 1080i.
[21:13] <boodieman> prower, you could always just use the command line :-)
[21:13] <gohdan> ShermanBoyd:  amateur. i tattoo mine on the back of my eyelids
[21:14] <ShermanBoyd> gohdan: nice
[21:14] <prower> boodieman: i suppose i could yes, anything's possible...except for a command line version of firefox of course :P some things i can't do without, ha
[21:14] <prower> links2 doesn't quite cut it any more
[21:14] <boodieman> prower, there is Lynx :D
[21:15] <prower> boodieman: that's true, although i've found that links2 does a better job of rendering pages roughly the way they're supposed to look when i've tried it...maybe good old lynx has improved since then
[21:15] <gohdan> ShermanBoyd: it is rather troublesome when i have to revoke them... requires a cheese grater and some bleach
[21:15] <sprink> why does it seem impossible to make a bootable usb from the ubuntu iso?
[21:16] <shomon> hi, I just turned on a commercial
[21:16] <pozic> How do I mount an lvm2 volumegroup to be my /home at boot in fstab?
[21:16] <klown> ugh, everything I see about this tv says it can do 1080i, but I cant figure out how.
[21:16] <shomon>  graphics driver, and now my hp laptop won't boot
[21:16] <shomon> how do I turn it off again?
[21:16] <sprink> is there a usb image for ubuntu? I can't dd the iso
[21:16] <ShermanBoyd> gohdan: I'm going to have to start telling CEOs that they need to tattoo keys on their scalp, "it's best practice".
[21:16] <shomon> no idea what it was called
[21:17] <gohdan> ShermanBoyd: wont do any good. they never listen to the IT depts anyway
[21:17] <shomon> I can get into terminals for seconds at a time
[21:17] <prower> ShermanBoyd, although you know some keener would just take a digital photo of their heads and use it to decrypt their e-mails anyway :P
[21:17] <boodieman> prower, when I stated with unix, it was all command line, been a long time since I used it that way.  I do remember pine being a bit of a pita to use, or was that emacs?  (shows age)
[21:17] <guntbert> sprink: the iso is not meant to be dd'ed to the stick
[21:18] <nelson___> (using ubuntu 11.04)I instaled nvidia drivers with the ADITIONAL DRIVERS option, using the recomended version. Unity is working fine. But i have this message: driver was activated but not in use (something like that, i'm using portuguese version)
[21:18] <_Neytiri_> is there a known issue with USB mice and Keyboards not working after a boot up? in 10.4
[21:19] <prower> boodieman: well emacs is a text editor, pine is an e-mail client that was great for its time :> i personally didn't appreciate emacs much, i started out on slackware in 1997
[21:19] <prower> (actually it would be more appropriate to say that emacs is _everything_, including a text editor)
[21:19] <boodieman> prower, i stated on sco unix over a dial-up connection
[21:20] <lucas-arg> which netbook will run better ubuntu... asus 1015pem 1215t or sony vpc-yb15al? i need to know because it deppends on wich one will support ubuntu better... please help!
[21:20] <prower> boodieman: ouch :> when i was using dialup it was in ms-dos 4-6
[21:20] <prower> (and later windows 3.0, after that i jumped ship :P)

[21:27] <cousin_mario> thanks a lot
[21:27] <ikonia> steve__: ?
[21:27] <ikonia> steve__: saying random words is not helpful, explain the problem
[21:29] <gohdan> !details | steve__
[21:30] <shomon> hi how do you turn off commercial graphics drivers from the command line?
[21:30] <shomon> cos x won't load
[21:30] <OerHeks> steve__, eid  > http://wiki.ubuntu-nl.org/community/Eid
[21:30] <shomon> this is 10.04 by the way
[21:32] <brown_fern> Other than the "help.ubuntu*DCCExploit" page, and the pages it links to, are there any other places where I could read about the redirect vulnerability?
[21:32] <edbian> shomon: The easiest way it probably to uninstall the package that offers them.  What driver are you trying to remove?  (ATI or Nvidia?)
[21:32] <donkeyinspace> hello, anyone knows how to manually create an ubuntu usb live? the startup disk creator gives me an error message when booting
[21:32] <guntbert> donkeyinspace: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[21:32] <NictraSavios> donkeyinspace, Burn it to a disk?
[21:33] <shomon> edbian I'm not sure, I went into an admin menu called hardware drivers
[21:33] <kefir> is there any way to get face recognition for my photos in Ubuntu? I'm using f-spot, but it doesn't seem to have support for that. Any f-spot addins, perhaps?
[21:34] <shomon> and it was one that did 2d processing
[21:34] <edbian> shomon: Do you have an ATI card or an Nvidia card?
[21:34] <edbian> shomon: Are you logged in right now?  I know some commands we can run.
[21:34] <shomon> how can I find out which one I have?
[21:34] <shomon> yes
[21:34] <shomon> although only on a console
[21:34] <shomon> and it flashes off after 10 secs at a time
[21:35] <gohdan> shomon: please dont use the enter key as punctuation
[21:35] <Belias> Hello
[21:35] <edbian> shomon: ok well, lspci -k  will list a bunch of stuff including your card and what driver is currently in use.
[21:35] <steve__> I had connection problems, anyone with an idea as to where to see the problem with my ID card reader?
[21:35] <Belias> I have a set of photos, I want to add a water mark to them all at once, how?
[21:35] <shomon> ok sorry gohdan am typing on my phone
[21:35] <OerHeks> steve__, eid  > http://wiki.ubuntu-nl.org/community/Eid
[21:36] <edbian> shomon: no worries
[21:36] <brown_fern> The vulnerability I was talking about is the one addressed at the following page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[21:36] <shomon> ok edbian it gave loads of output
[21:36] <shomon> I will grep it for nvidia
[21:37] <edbian> shomon: I know it is long.  Do you have an nvidia card?
[21:38] <steve__> I need it in either french or english
[21:38] <shomon> I can't get the pipe character to show on this terminal so no grep
[21:38] <shomon> am looking through ebdian
[21:39] <edbian> shomon: ok
[21:39] <shomon> no nvidia in there
[21:39] <guntbert> shomon: try ctrl+i  (whatever "ctrl" is on your phone)
[21:40] <shomon> well I can do it on the phone no prob
[21:41] <shomon> not on the laptop
[21:41] <edbian> shomon: What about ATI ?
[21:41] <gohdan> shomon: are your trying to type pipe | on the phone or your local console?
[21:41] <guntbert> shomon: works there too
[21:42] <shomon> yes it says mobility radeon
[21:42] <gohdan> alt+124 works if youre at a console
[21:42] <pbos> ok, I have an unusual error, I uninstalled something, which uninstalled some kernel things and ubuntu-desktop (was too eager to press enter, removed wireless-tools and wireless-crda or something) and now my booting entry is gone from grub
[21:42] <pbos> I've installed ubuntu-desktop (did so directly)
[21:42] <pbos> but the grub entry is still gone, does anyone know if I can boot into this machine using the grub2 command line?
[21:42] <_Neytiri_> is there a known issue with USB mice and Keyboards not working after a boot up? in 10.4?
[21:43] <ikonia> pbos: how are you installing ubuntu-desktop if you can't boot the machine
[21:43] <pbos> ikonia: installed ubuntu-desktop, then rebooted the machine
[21:43] <ikonia> pbos: what do you get when you boot the machine ?
[21:43] <EsmD> I have a problem - if i want compile driver, command "sudo make" get me this: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `kernel/bounds.c', needed by `kernel/bounds.s'.  Stop.   I have linux-headers.
[21:43] <pbos> ikonia: grub2, with options for memtest and windows 7 (other os)
[21:43] <shomon> ebdian it says ati mobility radeon hd 5000 series
[21:43] <pbos> but the kernel entries are gone
[21:44] <ikonia> pbos: you'll need to boot from a livecd, chroot, and re-install the kernel
[21:44] <pbos> check, I'll grab a key mem
[21:44] <donkeyinspace> hello, anyone knows how to manually create an ubuntu usb live? the startup disk creator gives me an error message when booting
[21:45] <cypha``> guntbert, I'm not sure what you mean?
[21:45] <pbos> ikonia: can I do this from 10.10, or do I need 11.04?
[21:46] <bastidrazor> !find bounds.c | pbos
[21:46] <ikonia> pbos: it would be wise to do it from the version you're using
[21:46] <bastidrazor> err.. wrong nick pbos
[21:46] <bastidrazor> EsmD: rather.
[21:46] <mfaroukg> any one know how to solve the mouse alignment  problem in the 11.04
[21:47] <pbos> ikonia: will this chroot thing run the grub etc. files from disk or the live cd's?
[21:47] <ikonia> pbos: it will use the systems as you're chrooted
[21:48] <EsmD> bastidrazor: what?
[21:48] <shomon> ebdian sorry, I got logged out there...
[21:48] <pbos> ikonia: so 11.04 if that's what's on my disk?
[21:49] <edbian> shomon: I'm here for ya
[21:49] <ikonia> pbos: you don't need it to be the same, it's just helpful
[21:49] <bastidrazor> the file bounds.c is provided by the package c++-annotations
[21:49] <shomon> :)
[21:49] <shomon> so it is an ati
[21:49] <pbos> ikonia: if that's so, why is it preferred that i use a 11.04 cd over a 10.10 one?
[21:49] <shomon> mobility radeon 5000
[21:49] <edbian> shomon: k hang on
[21:49] <shomon> cool
[21:49] <krw> hi
[21:49] <pbos> ikonia: just curious :)
[21:49] <ikonia> pbos: incase you need any of the tools, and incase any of the setup stuff changes
[21:50] <edbian> shomon: sudo apt-get purge fglrx
[21:50] <EsmD> bastidrazor: so i must download this package if i want compile my driver?
[21:50] <shomon> ok
[21:50] <krw> ive got a big problem
[21:50] <edbian> krw: What is it
[21:50] <krw> i cant move my cursor
[21:50] <bastidrazor> EsmD: if you want bounds.c then yes.
[21:50] <edbian> krw: the machine is frozen?
[21:50] <Boohava> Is Ubuntu Natty fairly stable yet?
[21:51] <krw> i upgraded today to ubuntu 11.04
[21:51] <krw> edbian: no, everything works fine
[21:51] <mfaroukg> does any one face a mouse cursor issue on the natty ?
[21:51] <pcpower> Boohava: I wouldn't call any release stable IMO :p
[21:51] <edbian> krw: Accept the cursor?  Unplug it, plug it back in.  Try a different USB slot
[21:51] <mfaroukg> krw, same with me
[21:51] <krw> edbian: no, it works on windows perfectly
[21:51] <cypha``> this isn't working for me, and I don't know why
[21:51] <cypha``> sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[21:51] <EsmD> thank you, bastidrazor
[21:52] <shomon> ok am rebooting ebdian... that seemed to work!
[21:52] <edbian> krw: No you refuse to try unplugging and re-plugging it?
[21:52] <edbian> shomon: Sure :)
[21:52] <bastidrazor> EsmD: you're welcome.
[21:52] <Juest> hi
[21:52] <Boohava> Does Natty have a net installer (or whatever their called) like previous versions?
[21:52] <edbian> shomon: We'll know when the system comes back up.
[21:52] <krw> edbian: at the first boot, ive got a msg: It seems that you do not have the hardware required to run Unity.
[21:52] <krw> edbian: of course, i tried it
[21:52] <edbian> krw: That is likely unrelated to the mouse problem.
[21:52] <mfaroukg> edbian, I have the same problem with the mouse too, It is not going to where I want and doesn't press the right place pointing
[21:52] <Juest> Boohava: yes, it still have a net installer, it gets and installs from repos
[21:52] <edbian> mfaroukg: Does it move at all?
[21:53] <pbos> ikonia: if I grab a 11.04 cd will you be able to walk me through this? I'm fairly used to the command-line prompt but have no experience with chrooting and installing grub
[21:53] <pbos> ikonia: or can I read about this somewhere?
[21:53] <krw> mfaroukg: same problem :(
[21:53] <Boohava> Juest: Where can I find it?
[21:53] <ikonia> !grub2 > pbos
[21:53] <mfaroukg> edbian, it moves no problem
[21:53] <edbian> mfaroukg: 'it is not going where I want' ?
[21:53] <ikonia> pbos: the only thing you'll need to do is once you've chrooted apt-get install linux-kernel
[21:53] <cypha``> after i do: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` , it says No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed
[21:53] <Juest> Boohava: you already use it within the CD
[21:53] <cypha``> nick cypha
[21:54] <krw> i think i have problem with Xorg
[21:54] <llutz> cypha``: apt-cache policy linux-headers-$(uname -r) | grep -i insta
[21:54] <Juest> Boohava: you download an ISO
[21:54] <krw> ive got no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
[21:54] <mfaroukg> edbian, when I press any button does not press and I see it pressing somewhere else
[21:54] <Juest> RevSpecies116: hey
[21:54] <Juest> ummm who got a client that says about away pepole??
[21:55] <mfaroukg> edbian, when on websites also it gives me problems and makes me use keyboard to get the place I want
[21:55] <mfaroukg> krw, same like this with you ?
[21:55] <Boohava> Juest: Oh, I read somewhere that was a tiny ISO of about 10mb that was only for net installation.
[21:55] <krw> mfaroukg: yes, the same
[21:55] <llutz> !mini | Boohava
[21:56] <cypha> llutz, says 2.6.38-8.42
[21:56] <llutz> cypha: already installed
[21:56] <Juest> !Alternate CD | Boohava
[21:56] <krw> mfaroukg: do you have a NVIDIA 9600GT ?
[21:57] <cypha> llutz, but when installing VBox guest additions, it said "the headers for the current running kernel were not found"
[21:57] <Boohava> ubottu: Awesome! Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
[21:57] <mfaroukg> edbian, no my laptop is HP Elitebook 6930p
[21:57] <Juest> cypha: try installing the headers again and run the installation again, what VBox are you using?
[21:58] <cypha> Juest, 4.0.8
[21:58] <Juest> hmmmm, who remebers about cludging packages? it was me and RevSpecies116
[21:58] <Juest> cypha: umm it should work
[21:58] <mfaroukg> krw, I think it is a software problem with 11.04, it was very fine with the 10.10
[21:58] <cypha> Juest, how do I reinstall headers?
[21:58] <Juest> sudo apt-get
[21:58] <llutz> cypha: ls -l /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
[21:59] <EsmD> bastidrazor: i don't know name of this package, something from http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?mode=exactfilename&suite=natty&section=all&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=c%2B%2B is good?
[21:59] <krw> mfaroukg: yes
[21:59] <llutz> cypha: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[21:59] <cypha> llutz, /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-server
[21:59] <llutz> cypha: looks ok
[21:59] <mfaroukg> krw, are you using desktop?
[22:00] <krw> mfaroukg: yes, im on dekstop
[22:00] <Computer-Freak> hello guys
[22:00] <mfaroukg> edbian, what logs you want us to get for you?
[22:00] <edbian> Computer-Freak: hi
[22:00] <edbian> mfaroukg: I don't know what causes that issue.  I'm sorry! :P
[22:01] <edbian> No experience.  I've always seen the unplugging and plugging solves the issue
[22:01] <Juest> edbian: do you remember about RevSpecies116 and Juest's iusse a few days ago?
[22:01] <pbos> ikonia: Strange thing is, I've chrooted to that hard drive, but apt-get install linux-kernel gives nothing
[22:01] <ikonia> !info linux-image
[22:02] <ikonia> pbos: it's linux-image,
[22:02] <edbian> Juest: no... But you could remind me!
[22:02] <pbos> ikonia: thank you!
[22:02] <Juest> well, is a long story
[22:02] <mfaroukg> krw, what linux version you have ?
[22:02] <Juest> !linux-headers
[22:03] <Juest> !linuxheaders
[22:03] <krw> mfaroukg: ubuntu 11.04
[22:03] <edbian> Juest: Just give me a referesher
[22:03] <Juest> -.-
[22:03] <cypha> llutz, reinstalled it, and ran guest additions install again, but still told me that "The headers for the current running kernel were not found"
[22:03] <Juest> ok
[22:03] <Juest> edbian: may we PM?
[22:03] <cypha> (reinstalled header, that is)
[22:04] <Juest> cypha: now reinstall addons
[22:04] <Yami_Bas> hello :)
[22:04] <cypha> Juest, I did, and that's when it told me that the headers for the current running kernel were not found
[22:04] <Yami_Bas> can I ask someone a question about driver support on my notebook ^?
[22:04] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: hi
[22:04] <krw> it sucks
[22:04] <mfaroukg> krw, run this  ls -ltr /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-*
[22:04] <Yami_Bas> cuz im switching from windows hating it but cant find support for my soundcard... :(
[22:05] <Juest> cypha: run sudo update-grub and reboot the system, after that try to install addons
[22:05] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: what soundcard
[22:05] <Yami_Bas> creative x-fi surround 5.1 (it´s an USB soundcard)
[22:05] <krw> mfaroukg: what will happen ?
[22:05] <shomon> ebdian	hi again, it might be a separate issuebut the laptop won't come up either since I removed that ati driver.
[22:06] <shomon> ut
[22:06] <mfaroukg> krw, to get kernel version
[22:06] <Yami_Bas> http://us.store.creative.com/Sound-Blaster-XFi-Surround-5.1/M/B0017QQQAE.htm
[22:06] <Yami_Bas> that one
[22:06] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: i don't actually have one but it should work fine...
[22:06] <edbian> shomon: It won't come up?  How far does it get?  Do you see any errors?
[22:06] <shomon> it gets stuck on starting apache
[22:06] <Yami_Bas> well it does play 2.1 sound...
[22:06] <Yami_Bas> but no spdif support...
[22:06] <shomon> I will look in var log messages
[22:06] <Yami_Bas> or 5.1 over analog... ^
[22:06] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: if you want to check boot to a livecd and look if it sees the device as an audio card if not i can help you find the right kernel modules
[22:07] <edbian> shomon: How can you look in /var/log if the system never completed booting?
[22:07] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: if youre using pulse did you set the default output to spdif or 5.1
[22:07] <gohdan> Yami_Bas: neat looking device
[22:07] <Yami_Bas> i am on linux right now ;)
[22:07] <Yami_Bas> and it is detected ^?
[22:07] <Yami_Bas> whats pulse?
[22:07] <Yami_Bas> im new ^
[22:07] <pbos> ikonia: "cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)."
[22:07] <Yami_Bas> thanks gohdan
[22:07] <ikonia> pbos: you've not mounted /proc
[22:07] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: open pavucontrol and switch to output
[22:08] <ikonia> pbos: or /dev
[22:08] <Yami_Bas> not wanting to be a noob but i must lol
[22:08] <Nisstyre> yes
[22:08] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: from there you can set the default to 5.1 or 2.1 headphones spdif etc
[22:08] <Yami_Bas> how do i open pavucontrol :P?
[22:08] <shomon> it probably complete d booting, I can press ctrl alt fn and a f1 -f5 key and get into a terminal
[22:08] <pbos> ikonia: so I need to mount /proc under /other/proc and /dev under /other/dev, is that all?
[22:08] <shomon> for about 10 secs at a time
[22:08] <ikonia> pbos: what did the guide I gave you tell you to mount
[22:09] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: eh we all started somewhere...just open a terminal and type in pavucontrol should pop up
[22:09] <Yami_Bas> ite thanks :D
[22:09] <pbos> ikonia: sorry, skipped ahead, will read it now
[22:09] <Yami_Bas> celthunder:
[22:09] <Yami_Bas> it says its not installed...
[22:09] <ikonia> pbos: ok - and now my support ends, if I'm taking the time to help you and give you a guide that walks you through it, and you can't be bothered to read it and jump in, you're on your own
[22:10] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
[22:10] <Yami_Bas> ite
[22:10] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: or use whatever mixer you have
[22:10] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: the principle is the same
[22:10] <mfaroukg> why skype icon disappears from the GNOME panel some times and I have to restart to get it back?
[22:11] <celthunder> mfaroukg: did it crash?
[22:11] <waldir> hi all. I'm looking for an IM that allows connecting to various networks, and keeps the contact lyst synced (so that merged contacts, custom names, groups, etc are the same in every computer I use it). Is there anything that does this?
[22:11] <mfaroukg> celthunder, no it still works
[22:11] <cypha> Juest, headers for the current running kernel were still not found
[22:11] <mfaroukg> celthunder, I just can't see the icon
[22:11] <celthunder> waldir: trillian, weechat,
[22:11] <Yami_Bas> alright
[22:12] <Yami_Bas> well got pavucontrol now ;)
[22:12] <Yami_Bas> and it works ;)
[22:12] <womp> How can I stop ubuntu 10.04 from scaling my cpu?
[22:12] <Yami_Bas> i guess gonna experiment some thanks :D
[22:12] <Yami_Bas> i should go to bed but mweeeh...
[22:12] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: ok got your 5.1?
[22:12] <Yami_Bas> not sure yet :P
[22:12] <waldir> celthunder: thanks :) btw do know if they can connect to facebook, gtalk, skype and msn? those are the ones I'm interested in
[22:12] <celthunder> lol kk
[22:13] <celthunder> waldir: i don't use either but theoretically any xmpp client will work for msn facebook and gtalk...skype....fails so idk what protocol they use...i'd say sip...which you can get clients that do xmpp/sip ...
[22:13] <gohdan> waldir: pidgin
[22:14] <celthunder> waldir: do you want syncing even when ones offline during the initial chat?
[22:14] <waldir> gohdan: Ithanks but that fails my first requirement (sync contact lists)
[22:14] <waldir> celthunder: not sure what you mean
[22:14] <waldir> I just don't want to lose my customizations when I move to another computer
[22:14] <celthunder> waldir: eh contact list syncing pretty much forces xmpp server no?
[22:14] <mfaroukg> celthunder, the skype is running in background and I can't get it out
[22:15] <Computer-Freak> guys, i have a problem in my asus netbook.. i am using Gnome Desktop and the icon on the right site of the screen wich you can close the computer or restart it is dissappear
[22:15] <Yami_Bas> celthunder: i sent you a small pm :)
[22:15] <celthunder> Yami_Bas: kk sec
[22:15] <Yami_Bas> alright just saying take your time ;)
[22:15] <celthunder> Computer-Freak: right click and readd it
[22:15] <womp> voice check can you see me?
[22:15] <celthunder> womp: no
[22:16] <womp> celthunder: hah thanks
[22:16] <waldir> celthunder: forces xmpp server?
[22:16] <lorddelta> Hey, I have a problem with my Ubuntu Desktop, thought I might as well ask to see if its a fixable problem before reporting it as a bug. Often, when minimize my windows, or use the "Show Desktop" command (I have it bound to the same key combo as in Windows), I cannot actually access my desktop, right clicking and such brings up context menus for programs that are supposedly hidden.
[22:16] <lorddelta> Is there any way to fix this?
[22:16] <Computer-Freak> yes but it's not the menu that you select many choices
[22:17] <Narigo> Hi there, this computer just halted while browsing (worked on the same sites before..) - where can I find information about what happened/what log-files would be good to check and to track down what caused the problem?
[22:17] <celthunder> waldir: well...ok theres probably other ways but the only way i've ever seen all contact lists merged at once was when i merged my msn gtalk and yahoo with an XMPP or XMMP server (not sure which it actually is )
[22:18] <pbos> ikonia: was under troubleshooting, didn't get that far, but I got that part working now, so thanks for helping out. Sorry for not reading carefully enough.
[22:18] <waldir> celthunder: wait maybe I'm not explaining correctly :)
[22:19] <waldir> celthunder: I don't need to merge/sync one IM's contact list to another (say msn/gtalk)
[22:19] <waldir> what I want if for the IM client to remember when I tell it that<EMAIL_ADDRESS>is the same guy as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[22:19] <waldir> and that I want to see it on my list as "Johnny"
[22:20] <waldir> makes sense?
[22:20] <celthunder> oh kk yeah...pick any client and just sync configs then
[22:20] <waldir> not sure what you mean. for instance how'd you do that in pidgin?
[22:21] <waldir> the configs afaik are kept in a local config file
[22:21] <cypha> is anyone familiar with installing guest additions on a virtualized ubuntu (server edition)?
[22:21] <cypha> it's telling me that the headers for the current running kernel were not found
[22:22] <Jemt> Hi. I have just installed the game Auteria. After installing libsdl1.2-dev I got sound working, but it's "clicking" (noisy). Can someone help me ?
[22:22] <Jemt> It's using OpenAL
[22:22] <hytekk> anyone have experience in pfsense?
[22:22] <celthunder> waldir: unison/ocassional saving of config to server and dl it back on other one.....
[22:24] <celthunder> cypha: are they installed
[22:24] <Jemt> Where is Ubuntu's default sound module located? module.so something
[22:24] <cypha> celthunder, yes
[22:24] <cypha> celthunder, I even reinstalled it
[22:24] <celthunder> cypha: does it know where they are
[22:24] <cypha> and rebooted
[22:24] <cypha> celthunder, i dunno
[22:24] <cypha> how can I check that?
[22:25] <cypha> it was able to give me a version
[22:25] <gohdan> hytekk:  this is an ubuntu support channel.
[22:25] <dtsund> I've got one brief question...
[22:25] <waldir> celthunder: that's rather inconvenient :( digsby for example does this automatically. I was wondering if there's anything on linux that takes care of that for me
[22:26] <hytekk> ghodan: sorry, ..... :(
[22:26] <cypha> llutz, Juest, any other ideas?
[22:26] <dtsund> My computer's currently configured for dual-boot, with GRUB in charge of booting.  If I nuke my Linux partition from within Windows and reinstall from a DVD, will that reinstall GRUB properly and let me boot correctly?
[22:26] <hytekk> gohdan: sorry.... :(
[22:26] <prower> hello again :> i'm trying to install the sun java jre so that i can run minecraft properly...i followed the ppa instructions on the community documentation site, but there appears not to be any version available for natty :<
[22:26] <gohdan> hytekk: ##pfsense
[22:27] <hytekk> gohdan: thanks, but noone in that channel is of much use.... thanks anyway :)
[22:28] <celthunder> cypha: where's it looking it should tell you when it fails
[22:29] <lorddelta> hytekk: I don't have any experience in pfsense, thanks for the distro though. http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tutorials though if you have questions I guess.
[22:29] <cypha> celthunder: http://i.imgur.com/P6u0M.png
[22:30] <gohdan> im sure they are of some use if you wait around long enough or ask proper questions. nevertheless, we are unable to assist you with that distro
[22:30] <sw0rdfish> whats the command to install ALL perl modules?
[22:30] <celthunder> cypha: so...do you have X installed?
[22:30] <cypha> celthunder, no
[22:30] <cypha> i'm on ubuntu server
[22:31] <hytekk> lorddelta: thanks !
[22:31] <sburwood1> I've gotten past a couple hurdles - the Belgian ID card reader has found the ID card.  I'm trying to do something official with the Belgian government where my card needs to be recognized by the site.  I've some message about SSL not renogiating with something. What's the next step?
[22:31] <royale1223> Dictd server not working. Why
[22:32] <nosmelc> Is there a firewall turned on by default in Ubuntu 11.04?
[22:32] <gohdan> royale1223: !gq
[22:32] <usr13> royale1223: ?  You mean DHCP?
[22:32] <gohdan> !gq | royale1223
[22:32] <iceroot> nosmelc: no
[22:32] <celthunder> cypha: then i suspect not building the X module would be because as ittold you it's not installed...and you don't need it
[22:32] <royale1223> usr13: dictd, dictionary server
[22:33] <usr13> royale1223: Ok sorry
[22:33] <cypha> celthunder, ok, I just thought not finding the "header" was an error
[22:33] <nosmelc> iceflatline: thanks
[22:34] <nosmelc> iceroot: oppps thanks]
[22:34] <iceroot> nosmelc: :)
[22:34] <celthunder> cypha: it says it "could be the reason" not that it is :) the real reason was quite apparent :)
[22:35] <cypha> celthunder, gotcha, thanks :)
[22:35] <waldir> celthunder: how do i get trillian to work on ubuntu? wine?
[22:35] <usr13> royale1223: sudo apt-get install dictd
[22:35] <Uboss> hi everyone
[22:36] <Uboss> i forgot my password for my nick :P
[22:36] <Rollin> hi all
[22:36] <royale1223> usr13: have it installed, but not running.
[22:36] <kenthree> firefox and some other programs won't start on this fresh 11.04 install, any probable cause? i'm not familiar with linux (chromium starts up fine)
[22:36] <Rollin> nomodeset did not fix my 11.04 error
[22:36] <Uboss> Well, I installed Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS because I wanted to, today! and after finishing the installation my Ubuntu stuck on first reboot and i turned off my pc using the power button and then turned it on again. Is that any problem?
[22:37] <usr13> royale1223: dpkg --reconfigure dictd
[22:37] <Rollin> anyone else successfully fix a blk screen login on 11.04 causeed by the recent updates? thanks
[22:37] <celthunder> waldir: probably i just use it on my phone
[22:37] <celthunder> Rollin: any errors in the logs
[22:38] <celthunder> kenthree: like they just don't open or ?
[22:38] <Computer-Freak> hello again, i am using quickSynergy for my Netbook and my Laptop where i have ubuntu desktop on both. and i put the details for the client, click execute and nothing. any help??

[22:39] <Uboss> If anyone can give me a simple answert I will appreciate it..
[22:39] <celthunder> Rollin: try using just vesa for a video driver?
[22:40] <usr13> royale1223: service --status-all | pastebinit
[22:40] <celthunder> Uboss: what was your problem sorry missed it
[22:40] <royale1223> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/619419/
[22:40] <Rollin> celthunder: gfx worked perfectly before the last update manager update w/ati offical 11.5 drivers
[22:40] <Uboss> Well, I installed Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS because I wanted to, today! and after finishing the installation my Ubuntu stuck on first reboot and i turned off my pc using the power button and then turned it on again. Is that any problem? no worries celthunder..
[22:41] <kenthree> celthunder: typing "firefox" in the terminal opened it.. weird
[22:41] <gohdan> Computer-Freak: please refrain from immediately re-asking your question
[22:41] <royale1223> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/619420/
[22:41] <celthunder> Uboss: no? i wouldn't recommend repeatedly doing tht though
[22:41] <Rollin> calthunder: and this error has happened twice to me, again today on a new ubuntu install that was working (aka this has bricked two seperate ubuntu installs)
[22:42] <fez> hai
[22:42] <celthunder> Rollin: ati drivers fail....with that said...go back to the ones that worked then
[22:42] <cypha> how can I cancel an install?
[22:42] <Uboss> celthunder, I did it just once after finishing successfuly installed ubuntu. I was in a screen with I/O errors. stuck
[22:42] <Computer-Freak> gohdan: sorry but can you help me?
[22:43] <celthunder> Uboss: is your hdd failing s.m.a.r.t tests?
[22:43] <celthunder> cypha: ctrl c
[22:43] <Computer-Freak> anyone can help me please?
[22:43] <celthunder> cypha: or kill the process
[22:43] <Uboss> celthunder, i don't know am newbie on some things.
[22:43] <dtsund> Anybody know anything about GRUB?
[22:43] <iceroot> !grub | dtsund
[22:43] <iceroot> dtsund: also the guys in #grub
[22:43] <cypha> celthunder, can I check if anything was installed or downloaded already?
[22:43] <Rollin> celthunder: the offical ati drivers did/do work. i had perfect desktop gfx and no reboot errors till the last week worth of software updates
[22:43] <dtsund> Ah, didn't know they had their own channel.  Thanks
[22:43] <celthunder> cypha: /var/cache?
[22:43] <gohdan> Computer-Freak:  no. but, if youre patient someone that is able to assist you may come along. re-ask your question every 30 minutes or so
[22:44] <usr13> royale1223:  sudo /etc/init.d/dictd start
[22:44] <royale1223> dtsund: ask your question.
[22:44] <cypha> celthunder, not sure what I'm looking for in there
[22:44] <Rollin> celthunder: afasik the ati drivers did not update, something else broke my system (2x)
[22:44] <Computer-Freak> gohdan: ok thanks!
[22:44] <Computer-Freak> anyone please?
[22:45] <edbian> Computer-Freak: What is the issue again?
[22:45] <usr13> royale1223: service --status-all | pastebinit
[22:45] <royale1223> usr13: it says "started ok". But doesnt actually run.
[22:45] <Computer-Freak> edbian:  hello again, i am using quickSynergy for my Netbook and my Laptop where i have ubuntu desktop on both. and i put the details for the client, click execute and nothing.
[22:45] <Uboss> celthunder, am just asking if my ubuntu will work nice now. yes or no simply ;)
[22:45] <dtsund> royale1223: My computer's currently configured for dual-boot, with GRUB in charge of booting.  If I nuke my Linux partition from within Windows and reinstall from a DVD, will that reinstall GRUB properly and let me boot correctly?
[22:45] <iceroot> royale1223: please use "sudo service servicename start" instead of /etc/init.d/"
[22:45] <celthunder> Uboss: uhm if you got I/O error's id check the hdd but otherwise yes
[22:45] <edbian> Computer-Freak: One need to be the server and one needs to be the client.  Which is the server?
[22:45] <Uboss> celthunder, thanks very much! I don't know how to check my HHD :P
[22:45] <royale1223> iceroot: used both. dont work.
[22:46] <Computer-Freak> edbian: client is my laptop and client my netbook
[22:46] <royale1223> http://paste.ubuntu.com/619423/
[22:46] <Uboss> celthunder, is it easy to tell me how? just give me a source
[22:46] <edbian> Computer-Freak: No.   Lemme see the config file for synergy.
[22:47] <Uboss> celthunder thanks a lot man! have a nice day/night
[22:47] <royale1223> dtsund: no
[22:47] <edbian> Computer-Freak: in pastebin
[22:47] <Computer-Freak> edbian: i use the GUI
[22:47] <lorddelta> godhan: Don't mean to be chatty, is there an easy timer application to set up to remind me when 30 minutes is up (maybe +/-5)?
[22:47] <celthunder> Rollin: did xorg update? any results if you use startx to start x as your user
[22:47] <iceroot> royale1223: nmap is only checking standard ports
[22:47] <lorddelta> godhan: for ubuntu
[22:47] <cypha> how can I copy and paste to and from my CL (i'm on ubuntu server edition)?
[22:47] <edbian> Computer-Freak: so?  I need a pastebin of the server config file.
[22:47] <iceroot> royale1223: use nmap -p port localhost
[22:48] <royale1223> dtsund: If you reinstall windows it will remove grub and install windows bootloader.
[22:48] <Computer-Freak> edbian: how can i find it please?
[22:48] <edbian> Computer-Freak: Didn't you create it?
[22:48] <Guest8093> just installed ubuntu server 11.04,  all I have is command line,  how do I get to view graphic interface ?
[22:48] <dtsund> royale1223: No, I mean reinstall Linux.
[22:48] <iceroot> Guest8093: why installed server-edition if you need a gui?
[22:48] <celthunder> cypha: pipe whatever to a file?
[22:49] <edbian> Computer-Freak: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/running.html
[22:49] <Juest> Guest8093: go install XOrg
[22:49] <celthunder> cypha: and then inputit back into whatever you need with <
[22:49] <dtsund> (I'm just paranoid about this because it'll briefly leave me without a bootloader at all.)
[22:49] <cypha> celthunder, it removed the temp files when I cancelled
[22:49] <iceroot> Guest8093: if you want gnome use "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[22:49] <usr13> royale1223:  Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for there.  What port is it supposed to listen on?
[22:49] <edbian> Guest8093: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[22:49] <cypha> celthunder, for copying and pasting?
[22:49] <iain80> Hi, do people use seahorse for general password management? or is there an alternative that's more UI-fancy?
[22:49] <Juest> iceroot Guest8093 doesn't have X
[22:49] <Guest8093> thanks  I will try that
[22:49] <gohdan> iceroot: gnome on a server? -_-
[22:49] <iceroot> Juest: ubuntu-desktop is pulling x
[22:49] <edbian> Juest: ubuntu-desktop will install it
[22:49] <celthunder> cypha: it's kind of awork around but it works if you don't have your mouse enabled in the terminal
[22:49] <iceroot> gohdan: gui on a server?
[22:49] <Juest> ah
[22:50] <iceroot> gohdan: but he wants a gui and gnome is a gui
[22:50] <Juest> does xscreensaver works as root?
[22:50] <iceroot> Juest: dont run your gui as root
[22:50] <cypha> celthunder, I do have my mouse enabled
[22:50] <Computer-Freak> edbian: you mean file server or web?
[22:50] <celthunder> cypha: try middle click then
[22:50] <cypha> no middle click on my laptop
[22:50] <nemor> i can not speak on #archlinux
[22:50] <Juest> iceroot: i use 11.04 desktop....
[22:50] <edbian> Computer-Freak: .... synergy server.   What are you trying to do?
[22:51] <celthunder> nemor: register your nick and auth
[22:51] <iceroot> Juest: doesnt matter, dont run the desktop as root
[22:51] <ikonia> nemor: that's not something we can help with, ask in #freenode
[22:51] <Juest> why?
[22:51] <iceroot> Juest: there is no single reason and its the stupiest thing you can do with a computer
[22:51] <Computer-Freak> edbian: to use one mouse and one keyboard on 2 screens
[22:51] <nemor> i have installed burg
[22:51] <iceroot> Juest: everything runs as root, browser, mailclient and so on
[22:51] <gohdan> iceroot: twm works too. gnome is DE thats going to pull in all kinds of stuff
[22:51] <nemor> i am happy
[22:51] <edbian> Computer-Freak: That's synergy.  Read the link I gave you:  http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/running.html
[22:52] <Computer-Freak> edbian: okay thanks
[22:52] <nemor> grub2 on natty narwhal must have some menu display problem
[22:52] <nemor> it was a variable on grub.cfg i think
[22:52] <Juest> why is stupid? i prefer it mainly to avoid the notifications that require root
[22:52] <EastDallas> what's the big deal?  I always install xcfe or gnome when I set up a LAMP or file server.   Its open and dictd running.
[22:53] <nemor> ok
[22:53] <iceroot> isnt gdm blocking root by default?
[22:53] <royale1223> dtsund: 2628 is open
[22:53] <ikonia> iceroot: let him find out - not supporting it
[22:53] <celthunder> iceroot: don't see why it would
[22:53] <iceroot> celthunder: because its stupid and the biggest security whole you can have
[22:53] <ikonia> celthunder: it is, root login is disabled by default
[22:53] <gohdan> iceroot: it blocks port 6000 but not root
[22:54] <nosmelc> How do I set up a Ubuntu Desktop box so that the user can't do "sudo" using their log in password?  Sorry if that's a dumb question :/
[22:54] <Juest> no, iceroot, gdm ask for passwords and for using root you need to set a password, root is enabled
[22:54] <ikonia> Juest: it's not - but good luck, let stop discussing it as we don't support that config here
[22:54] <ZykoticK9> nosmelc, remove the user(s) from the admin group
[22:54] <celthunder> nosmelc: visudo
[22:54] <Juest> ok
[22:54] <iceroot> Juest: hm, never heard that root-login is enabled by default in gdm
[22:54] <nosmelc> ZykoticK9: ohh ok
[22:55] <lsv> nosmelc: keep at least one user with sudo power
[22:55] <nemor> it doesn't look very dumb, nosmelc
[22:55] <MagicJ> nosmelc: there is a sudoers file that you must be listed in to be allowed sudo
[22:55] <celthunder> iceroot: gdm is a login manager...it doesn't care as long as you use a valid login (theoretically)
[22:55] <iceroot> celthunder: it blocks uid=0
[22:55] <ZykoticK9> MagicJ, anyone in the admin group can use sudo
[22:55] <Flannel> MagicJ, nosmelc: No, the admin group is listed in the file, and you need to be a member of the admin group
[22:55] <Juest> root login is not enabled, just it allows you to login as root (you must have a password for root and you type root in Other...)
[22:55] <iceroot> celthunder: or better it blocks everything below 1000
[22:55] <celthunder> ah
[22:56] <celthunder> i don't use gdm...i'm lazy..xdm works just fine for me
[22:56] <MagicJ> ZykoticK9: are you sure - that certainly did not used to be the case and would be different t Debian
[22:56] <nemor> you can esclude user from all groups
[22:56] <Juest> iceroot.....
[22:56] <Juest> ^^^^^
[22:56] <iceroot> Juest: its not enabled, i was looking it up and please stop using your desktop with root
[22:56] <nemor> but one
[22:56] <Juest> OK
[22:56] <NictraSavios> Would someone mind looking at my /etc/fstab and making and suggestions as to what to change in regards to the  the "'defaults", what paramaters should I give them?"
[22:56] <nemor> not groups
[22:56] <NictraSavios> It is here http://paste.pocoo.org/show/401331/
[22:56] <nemor> wait
[22:56] <Juest> i have defaulted my desktop as root :D
[22:56] <ikonia> NictraSavios: defaults are fine
[22:56] <nemor> that's wrong Juest
[22:56] <edbian> Juest: That's a really bad idea.
[22:56] <celthunder> NictraSavios: defaults,noatime,user_xattr for the /home
[22:56] <ZykoticK9> MagicJ, yes I'm sure.  And actually it is the same in Debian, admin group is in sudoers
[22:57] <celthunder> NictraSavios: didn't actually look at your current settings just the ones i use
[22:57] <Juest> celthunder: better to use gdm or wdm, these DMs allow to choose session
[22:57] <iceroot> Juest: as i said that is the stupiest thing you can do
[22:57] <NictraSavios> celthunder, Thank you, Can you take a look?
[22:57] <Juest> :'(
[22:57] <nemor> esclude user from as much user priviliges as appropriate
[22:57] <Computer-Freak> edbian: to find my hostname i typed hostname on terminal or is the name that i named my computer?
[22:57] <ikonia> NictraSavios: the defaults are fine
[22:57] <celthunder> Juest: lol if i wanat to change it i'd set it in xinitrc
[22:57] <iain80> Hi, do people use seahorse for general password management? or is there an alternative that's more UI-fancy?
[22:57] <MagicJ> ZykoticK9: Yuck - not at you - but at that change - the sudoers file is quite enough but I guess this is the sort of change that someone thought was good
[22:57] <nemor> first untoggle "administer the system" ?
[22:57] <tolmun> right way to setup root account is without password?
[22:57] <ZykoticK9> MagicJ, sorry on Debian it is the sudo group - so a little differetn
[22:58] <NictraSavios> ikonia, I heard you. But options are good aswell, Futher security can be gained.
[22:58] <edbian> Computer-Freak: hostname is the name you get from the hostname command AND it is the name of your computer.  hostnames will not work if you don't have a DNS server.  I suggest you use IP addresses.
[22:58] <jamesstanley> I recently got a new graphics card (an nvidia one) and I am running the nvidia proprietary driver. I am on amd64. When I try to play DVD's I have sound but no picture. Can anyone help?
[22:58] <ikonia> NictraSavios: why do you want to change the default options /
[22:58] <iceroot> tolmun: right way is to use sudo
[22:58] <Juest> DM choose is better than xinitrc, celthunder
[22:58] <ikonia> NictraSavios: give me 1 reason
[22:58] <celthunder> tolmun: lol that's the worst idea i've ever heard of ...have a password at least
[22:58] <celthunder> Juest: talk to me when you aren't using X as root...
[22:58] <Juest> why?
[22:58] <tolmun> ok disable root account?
[22:58] <iceroot> Juest: your system is not supported here
[22:58] <NictraSavios> ikonia, Because i wrote the fstab myself. I know from other user discussing it that setting some as other things , you can gain security and performance
[22:58] <Juest> BUAAAAAAHHHHHH
[22:58] <iceroot> tolmun: its diabled by default
[22:58] <ikonia> tolmun: it's disabled by default
[22:59] <iceroot> !root | tolmun
[22:59] <celthunder> tolmun: or put just an x in /etc/passwd for root pw
[22:59] <ikonia> NictraSavios: the defaults are "fine" more so as the majority of yours are NTFS mounts
[22:59] <Computer-Freak> edbian: you mean on screen 1 and screen 2 to put the IP adresses right? not the hostname. section: screens
[22:59] <Computer-Freak>      screen1:
[22:59] <Computer-Freak>      screen2:
[22:59] <Computer-Freak> end
[22:59] <Computer-Freak> section: links
[22:59] <Computer-Freak>      screen1:
[22:59] <FloodBot1> Computer-Freak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:59] <Computer-Freak>            right = screen2
[22:59] <celthunder> tolmun: do the same in shadow
[22:59] <NictraSavios> ikonia, 3/7 are. 1 is vfat.
[22:59] <Flannel> celthunder, tolmun: `sudo passwd -l root` (that's an L)  Don't modify /etc/passwd manually.
[22:59] <nemor> the mysterious root route
[22:59] <Maxx640> Hi there, can anybody tell me if there is a way of getting rid of gnumeric in xubuntu in the application menu after having uninstalled it with the software center?
[22:59] <ikonia> NictraSavios: so over %50 is non native, the defaults are fine
[22:59] <EastDallas> OK, now running X as root -- not such a good idea.  I came in on the middle and thought y'all were just talking about having a gui installed on a server machine.  Which I think is fine as long as you set it up so that you have to manually start X.
[22:59] <edbian> Computer-Freak: Actually.  In that config file, hostnames work fine.  Sorry for the confusion!
[22:59] <edbian> Computer-Freak: Do not paste in the channel.  Use pastebin
[22:59] <tolmun> thx
[23:00] <NictraSavios> ikonia, I am by no means looking for "fine", Plus, This is my v1, I plan to reinstall with seperate /boot , /usr and /var
[23:00] <celthunder> EastDallas: lol yeah juest thinks it's a brilliant idea..i'll just lol when he gets fucked over
[23:00] <nemor> Maxx640: there is a way.
[23:00] <ikonia> NictraSavios: ok - what do you want to gain, and I'll tell you what options to change
[23:00] <ikonia> NictraSavios: what do you want to change
[23:00] <Maxx640> Nemor: what is it?
[23:00] <Computer-Freak> edbian: so i will put the hostname and not the IP. if i put the IP it's wrong?
[23:01] <NictraSavios> ikonia, I know what each paramater dose. Ive alredy read the manuals. I want to know if someone thinks i "should" for good reasons, not because "the defaults are fine"
[23:01] <edbian> Computer-Freak: I'm not sure IP will mess it up. Looking at mine I have hostnames and I know I don't have a DNS server.  All I can see is that hostnames work.
[23:01] <ikonia> NictraSavios: I think you should not change anything as if you know what the parameters did and you knew how to use them, you would not be asking
[23:01] <sleek> Afrix, lol
[23:01] <celthunder> NictraSavios: can i get your link agin sorry
[23:01] <NictraSavios> ikonia, I alredy do. I am unsure if I should.
[23:01] <NictraSavios> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/401331/
[23:01] <celthunder> thanks
[23:01] <nemor> try    System Preferences Main Menu
[23:01] <ikonia> NictraSavios: I also think that the file systems are known to you, eg: are you running a mail service, in which case noatime would be wise, but not wise if you're not etc, so only YOU can know
[23:02] <NictraSavios> ikonia, What about for maximium security.
[23:02] <ikonia> NictraSavios: what about it ?
[23:02] <NictraSavios> ikonia, What would i change for that.
[23:02] <Computer-Freak> edbian: it does matter if hostname in both PCs is the same?
[23:02] <iceroot> NictraSavios: turn off the computer fpr maximum security
[23:02]  * gohdan luanches X as root in a vm. lets see how this turns out :P
[23:02] <celthunder> NictraSavios: readonly everything
[23:02] <celthunder> ?
[23:02] <iceroot> gohdan: stop that here please
[23:02] <ikonia> NictraSavios: depends on your system and how you want to use it, as I've said, the defaults are fine unless you have something specific
[23:03] <NictraSavios> celthunder, I do have specifics. I am unable to say them
[23:03] <ikonia> NictraSavios: then we can't help you
[23:03] <nemor> where is gnumeric? accessories?
[23:03] <ikonia> NictraSavios: unless you tell us your specifics, we can't give you specific advice
[23:03] <Maxx640> would that be settings manager?
[23:03] <Maxx640> there is nothing called system preferences
[23:04] <NictraSavios> Alight, What if You 100% know that someone will get access to your computer in a unprivleged account. How do you minimise there ability to destroy
[23:04] <nemor> what os distro you have
[23:04] <cypha> what's something safe I can do to test if my password in fact changed?
[23:04] <zelo_> hi mike
[23:04] <Maxx640> xubuntu
[23:04] <nemor> os version
[23:04] <ikonia> NictraSavios: you controlt he file system permissions, not the mount points
[23:04] <cypha> without logging out and in
[23:04] <nemor> version
[23:04] <nemor> i have gnome
[23:04] <zelo_> Guest76566, hi mike
[23:04] <NictraSavios> ikonia, Alright. So there is nothing i can do in fstab to aid?
[23:04] <Computer-Freak> edbian: it says me  no configuration available
[23:04] <iceroot> cypha: open a ssh-connection
[23:04] <ikonia> NictraSavios: no
[23:04] <Maxx640> 4.8.0
[23:04] <NictraSavios> ikonia, thank you.
[23:04] <NictraSavios> Bye
[23:04] <cypha> iceroot, dunno how
[23:04] <iceroot> cypha: or login into tty1 (ctrl + alt + f1)
[23:05] <Guest76566> zelo_, hi
[23:05] <nemor> i don't know fro xfce
[23:05] <Maxx640> that is xubuntu 11.04
[23:05] <iceroot> cypha: ssh user@host
[23:05] <cypha> iceroot, i'm on ubuntu server
[23:05] <Maxx640> ok thanks for trying
[23:05] <iceroot> cypha: ssh or tty2 (ctrl + alt + f2)
[23:06] <nemor> try to find analagous
[23:06] <cypha> iceroot, still no
[23:06] <nemor> :)
[23:06] <nemor> system manager
[23:06] <djiefo> Hi, someone know how to downgrade my compiz
[23:06] <nemor> try
[23:06] <cypha> there is no easier way to see if my changed password actually changed?
[23:06] <th0r> cypha:just open a terminal and do 'su <yourusername>
[23:06] <cypha> i just need something with sudo
[23:06] <cypha> thanks th0r
[23:06] <nemor> ubuntu is so smooth and easy
[23:06] <cypha> th0r, ok, the issue is that my password is not changing
[23:06] <nemor> i am just afraid it will crash all of a sudden
[23:06] <iceroot> cypha: what is not easy about tty2 or ssh?
[23:06] <cypha> i'm doing sudo passwd
[23:07] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[23:07] <gohdan> iceroot: fair enough.
[23:07] <Loaf> easy like sunday morning?
[23:07] <boodieman> how do you turn off file indexing in 11.04
[23:07] <iceroot> cypha: that is changing the root-password
[23:07] <nemor> like sunday morning with a rich breakfast
[23:07] <th0r> cypha: don't use sudo...you should be able to change YOUR password without sudo
[23:07] <Emmanuel_Chanel> My ext4 /home partition becomes full fast. How can I help that? To switch ReiserFS or so can help?
[23:07] <aeon-ltd> why does not authorized appear when using external media formatted on other OSes? when tring to access them
[23:07] <cypha> th0r, without sudo, it makes me pick a longer password
[23:07] <nemor> better not to be too content
[23:07] <djiefo> Hi, someone know how to downgrade my compiz?
[23:08] <iceroot> djiefo: downgrade is not supported
[23:08] <djiefo> because the 9.4 version is unstable
[23:08] <cypha> th0r, so by doing passwd, am I not changing my user's passwd? and instead changing the root's passwd? cuz I thought my current user was the root user
[23:08] <iceroot> is 9.04 still supported?
[23:08] <Pr070cal> hi just installed gnome3, im having some problems where the screen wont refresh
[23:08] <Seveas> djiefo, 9.04? Upgrade Ubuntu instead...
[23:08] <iceroot> !jaunty
[23:08] <zzzzzzzzzzzz> I am trying to use proxychains with firefox but I get this error: Can't locate proxychains.conf: Permission denied, but the file exists
[23:08] <nemor> Emmanuel_Chanel: why does it become full
[23:09] <aeon-ltd> djiefo: uninstall, compile or get a deb for a version you want then install that - OR just update ubuntu
[23:09] <juniorbisono> Question: I have setup syslog to display all mess via tty2 how do I remove the login prompt from tty2? if thats possible so all I got it everything just hitting that screen...
[23:09] <iceroot> djiefo: upgrade to a supported version
[23:09] <ikonia> zzzzzzzzzzzz: look at the permissions on it
[23:09] <djiefo> not ubuntu, compiz
[23:09] <th0r> cypha: there is no root password in ubuntu.
[23:09] <iceroot> djiefo: your ubuntu is out of life and not supported anymore
[23:09] <cypha> th0r, so then it should change the passwd for "cypha"
[23:09] <cypha> but it's not
[23:09] <Seveas> juniorbisono, edit /etc/init/tty2.conf
[23:09] <Unknown_Monkey> Hey does anyone know a good way to hook up multipul monitors
[23:09] <zzzzzzzzzzzz> ikonia, i set it to 777
[23:09] <djiefo> iceroot,  it's xubuntu 11.04
[23:10] <ikonia> zzzzzzzzzzzz: is it in the right place, is it being used in a chroot for example
[23:10] <iceroot> djiefo: you said its 9.04
[23:10] <djiefo> It's all about compiz
[23:10] <Seveas> Unknown_Monkey, use a dual-head videocard or multiple cards :)
[23:10] <juniorbisono> hmm... Seveas let me take a look... Thanks!
[23:10] <llslim> hello has anyone else have trouble with "ping" running idle and not timing out with the following command: "ping <IP_ADDRESS> -c 2 -W 2"?
[23:10] <zzzzzzzzzzzz> it's in the right place, i know that proxychains checks a few different spots and it works with other programs.  I am not sure what you mean by chroot
[23:10] <Unknown_Monkey> Seveas: Thanks how about the software config part
[23:10] <boodieman> Anyone know how to turn off file indexing in 11.04??
[23:10] <nemor> home directory becoming full should not be direct consequence of fs. i hope
[23:11] <naptastic> Hi. I have Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and my desktop. My laptop has a volume control in the top-right that I can wheel over to change volume; the desktop doesn't. How do I add it?
[23:11] <zzzzzzzzzzzz> ikonia, it's in the right place, i know that proxychains checks a few different spots and it works with other programs.  I am not sure what you mean by chroot
[23:11] <ikonia> zzzzzzzzzzzz: how can it work with other programs when it's for that program
[23:11] <Seveas> Unknown_Monkey, system -> preferences -> monitors
[23:11] <djiefo> 0.9.4 compiz is unstable in my system i try to downgrade it back to 0.8.6
[23:11] <Seveas> llslim, nope, works for me...
[23:11] <juniorbisono> Seveas, I dont have that config,...
[23:11] <zzzzzzzzzzzz> ikonia, i mean proxychains works with other programs other than firefox..
[23:11] <Seveas> juniorbisono, which version of Ubuntu?
[23:11] <iceroot> llslim: why not using it without -W 2?
[23:11] <DevilSolution> tip for the guru's, if someone is having issues installing a package and inside the error code it flags anything to do with high def colours or icons, it could be related what mode the user is logged in as (i.e. ubuntu (no effects))
[23:11] <Unknown_Monkey> Seveas: Thanks
[23:12] <nemor> what are your hardware resources dijefo
[23:12] <iceroot> llslim: also the manpage says there are other parameters needed too if using -W
[23:12] <ikonia> zzzzzzzzzzzz: it maybe looking in the wrong place if firefox takes the path as from it's current working directory
[23:12] <juniorbisono> I really dont know
[23:12] <Seveas> juniorbisono, run this command: lsb_release -a
[23:12] <juniorbisono> I modded the lsb_release file :D
[23:12] <juniorbisono> sorry..
[23:12] <celthunder> DevilSolution: ok  lol i take it you just had a problem with that
[23:12] <Seveas> juniorbisono, heh
[23:12] <zzzzzzzzzzzz> ikonia, ok thank you i'll check it out
[23:12] <DevilSolution> celthunder, yes indeedy XD
[23:13] <aeon-ltd> why does "not authorized" appear when trying to access external media formatted on other OSes?
[23:13] <frozenfoxx> I have a kubuntu 10.04 system I've just upgraded to 11.04 that now does not boot
[23:13] <iceroot> aeon-ltd: ask #otheroses
[23:13] <celthunder> DevilSolution: :) thanks for the warning
[23:13] <frozenfoxx> Grub complains that the UUID doesn't exist.
[23:13] <djiefo> nemor, i can everything in ccsm but animated add-on. i'm at downgrading my compiz to fix the problem cause now 3 days on this problem and nothing works
[23:13] <DevilSolution> hope it helps some lost soul ;)
[23:13] <iceroot> aeon-ltd: or do you mean ubuntu is saying that?
[23:13] <xskydevilx> What's the terminal command to open Startup Applications Preferences?
[23:13] <juniorbisono> Seveas, I got this <IP_ADDRESS> #1 SMP Tue Dec 1 21:51:08 EST 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[23:13] <aeon-ltd> iceroot: yes ubuntu
[23:13] <frozenfoxx> If I tell it to boot with root=/dev/sda5 or /dev/sda7 it complains it doesn't find it and does not boot
[23:13] <djiefo> nemor, my hardware is nvidia 9600gt
[23:13] <juniorbisono> if that helps..
[23:13] <iceroot> aeon-ltd: what format are the drives?
[23:13] <cypha> how do I view a .log file?
[23:14] <fran> z
[23:14] <ikonia> cypha: open it in a text editor
[23:14] <iceroot> cypha: less file.log
[23:14] <nemor> how much ram
[23:14] <aeon-ltd> iceroot: its not a drive, it's a SD card formatted to FAT16
[23:14] <nemor> compiz is demanding
[23:14] <fran> ñ
[23:14] <Seveas> juniorbisono, ah that smells old. Does /etc/inittab exist? If so, comment out the tty2 line
[23:14] <djiefo> nemor, 1g
[23:14] <boodieman> Anyone know how to turn off file indexing in 11.04?
[23:14] <DevilSolution> anybody know hoe well compiz is working on unity? i read everywhere its not very compatible so is it worth DLing?
[23:14] <aoxi> my friend isnt sure what she did but now when she goes to open a location from the places menu, it opens in her web browser. where would i go to change this behavior? i checked in preferred applications and file browser is still set to nautilus
[23:14] <juniorbisono> I got inettd.d and init.d
[23:14] <Seveas> boodieman, remove all traces of tracekr and beagle
[23:14] <nemor> i had a similar sort of problem frozenfoxx
[23:14] <iceroot> boodieman: you mean the journal of ext4?
[23:14] <lsv> xskydevilx: gnome-session-properties &
[23:14] <juniorbisono> Seveas, I got inettd.d and init.d
[23:15] <nemor> similar but not identical
[23:15] <MagicJ> hey guys, I have a system that I just installed from a known good memory stick - all looks good except that it doesn't boot - almost like the MBR did not get written - during install all looks good - then afrer the "setting up users" it just goes to the live CD log in - any idea?
[23:15] <damnhustle> lol
[23:15] <damnhustle> wow
[23:15] <damnhustle> this connected me fast
[23:15] <llslim> Seveas: thanx then it must be a virtual box issue.
[23:15] <aeon-ltd> i'll be bach
[23:15] <lsv> ps
[23:15] <womp> I'll be mozart
[23:15] <Emmanuel_Chanel> nemor: I don't know... I've been thinking of buying a new PC with a new HDD. But I didn't expect that the HDD on this Ubuntu PC would become full sometime at once...
[23:15] <Seveas> juniorbisono, what does this command give you: dpkg -S /sbin/init
[23:15] <lsv> opps

[23:15] <Sanctusorium> When I try to connect to my natty VPS server, some program called unity is yelling at me and telling me to run in ubuntu classic.
[23:15] <ikonia> fran: please don't do that
[23:16] <Seveas> fran, please kick your cat off your keyboard
[23:16] <Sanctusorium> How can I do that from the command line?
[23:16] <nemor> without downloading any especially big file
[23:16] <Sanctusorium> Or, rather, add it to my VNC config?
[23:16] <nemor> it might be a log file
[23:16] <juniorbisono> Seveas, upstart sbin/init
[23:16] <Sanctusorium> I just need to know the command - I can't seem to find it >.<:
[23:16] <fran> gtfeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeee                                                         u66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

[23:17] <juniorbisono> thanks ikonia
[23:17] <Seveas> boodieman, ok, dpkg -L upstart
[23:17] <Seveas> and pastebin the results of that
[23:17] <LuckyStrike> hello you all
[23:18] <lsv> hello
[23:18] <djiefo> nemor,  1g ram, 512 graph card. 2.3 go cpu
[23:18] <juniorbisono> Seveas, let me take a look around....
[23:18] <nemor> maybe you can try to untoggle some comopiz features
[23:19] <nemor> or see if there is some collision with google earth
[23:19] <boodieman> Seveas, nothing in there for those
[23:19] <nemor> but i don't know
[23:19] <djiefo> i dont have google earth
[23:19] <Juest> ok, i stopped using X as root
[23:19] <nemor> well done Juest
[23:20] <Juest> and now, desktop-file-utils can't process
[23:20] <nemor> lol
[23:20] <Juest> i was trying to purge gnome-screensaver
[23:20] <Juest> and i use xscreensaver instead
[23:21] <Juest> nemor,
[23:21] <nemor> we meant you use your system as XXUser everyday
[23:21] <nemor> you can do su for special purposes
[23:21] <Juest> what? why?
[23:21] <Juest> well
[23:21] <nemor> like changing permissions to some difficult directories
[23:21] <Juest> sudo, you mean
[23:22] <ZykoticK9> nemo, sudo - not su!
[23:22] <Juest> but yes
[23:22] <nemor> sudo
[23:22] <nemor> sometimes i had to login as root
[23:22] <nemor> from another consol
[23:22] <ZykoticK9> nemo, "sudo -i" for that
[23:22] <Juest> su, i still have the root password, so now i can su properly
[23:22] <nemor> sometimes sudo does not work
[23:22] <philipballew> su can be a easy way to not have to type sudo all the time
[23:22] <Juest> su never works if you have a blank root password
[23:23] <nemor> right
[23:23] <[deXter]> Hi all
[23:23] <Juest> and better yet,
[23:23] <Juest> sudo sh
[23:23] <Juest> that's for root term
[23:23] <[deXter]> I'm unable to set Chromium as my default browser; even update-alternatives doesn't seem to have any effect.
[23:23] <ZykoticK9> Juest, don't use that
[23:23] <nemor> time to man sudo?
[23:23] <Juest> so froget about sudo sudo
[23:23] <ffmjf> hi guys.  i'm having an issue where there's no vga output at all after POST until the GUI login.  i'm pretty sure it's a grub display settings issue but i can't quite resolve it
[23:23] <Rollin> dexter use "preferred apps"
[23:24] <iceroot> Juest: your loginshell is not sh so sudo sh is not good and we told you to stop that stupid root actions
[23:24] <nemor> sudo -i
[23:24] <Juest> [deXter]: read what Rollin says
[23:24] <[deXter]> Rollin: O.o Oh, never knew that existed!
[23:24] <nemor> interesting
[23:24] <[deXter]> Wonder why update-alternatives didn't work..
[23:24] <ffmjf> i suppsoe my first question is after i've made an edit to /etc/default/grub ... is there something i need to run, to make it stick?
[23:24] <nemor> thks, ZykoticK9
[23:25] <Juest> ffmjf: run sudo update-grub
[23:25] <Rollin> dexter, juest.. ya those settings are really hidden. glad you fixed it!
[23:25] <adrian15> ffmjf: Try adding nosplash to kernel parametres or removing splash and quiet parametres.
[23:25] <naptastic> ffmjf, sudo update-grub
[23:25] <iceroot> ffmjf: sudo update-grub
[23:25] <naptastic> lol
[23:25] <dijonyummy123> anyone notice nautilus crashes, just quits sometimes, like when you're copying files or something, once in awhile, randomly
[23:25] <naptastic> jinx ;-)
[23:25] <Dakrav> what room should i join or help with using terminal?
[23:25] <iceroot> !bug | dijonyummy123
[23:25] <[deXter]> Rollin, Juest Thanks for your help, that was fast. :)
[23:25] <iceroot> Dakrav: #bash
[23:25] <Juest> :D
[23:25] <ffmjf> awesome thank you.  i think setting it to the default 640x480 will solve this but i was missing the last bit
[23:25] <ffmjf> time to reboot and try it.  thanks all!
[23:25] <Juest> ffmjf: set 640x480x16
[23:26] <Dakrav> iceroot: thanks
[23:26] <Dakrav> join #bash
[23:26] <juniorbisono> Seveas, all I found was etc/securetty/ I can play with that for now,....
[23:26] <iceroot> Dakrav: /join #bash
[23:26] <Dakrav> lol, forgot that, thanks
[23:26] <ffmjf> Juest: as in, GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480x16 in /etc/default/grub ?
[23:26] <Juest> yes
[23:26] <ffmjf> thanks a ton.  i'm 99% sure this will fix it
[23:27] <phrosty_> I just installed ubuntu 11.04, is there a way to have the menu bar as a drop down menu rather than all the links on the side?
[23:27] <Juest> ffmjf or go sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg or /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:27] <dijonyummy123> hard to file cuz hard to know why, it just terminates. then i just restart nautilus, perform same operation and its ok. happens maybe a couple or more times a week
[23:27] <Juest> and froget the do not edit this file line
[23:28] <nit-wit> phrosty_, the classic desktop menu will do it, choose ot at login.
[23:28] <nemor> or eat a ham BURG er
[23:28] <ZykoticK9> Juest, don't make (or suggest) changes to menu.lst - that file is overwritten whenever update-grub2 is run.
[23:28] <Sanctusorium> Any one know how I can start Ubuntu Classic mode via terminal?
[23:28] <nit-wit> *it
[23:28] <phrosty_> Oh ok so it's at the login screen nit-wit?
[23:28] <Juest> wondering why desktop-file-utils fails to do anything.... i get error code exit 1
[23:28] <nit-wit> phrosty_, yeah choose you name then the dropdown for desktops
[23:29] <nemor> what is desktop-file-utils
[23:29] <nit-wit> Sanctusorium, you have to log out of X
[23:29] <Juest> is a package that nautilus and some of gnome apps use
[23:30] <Sanctusorium> nit-wit: I am logging in via VNC.  Should I just remove the X Start up command?
[23:30] <Guest8093> ok I installed sudo apt-get instal ubuntu-desktop,  it is working now but low in system isn't displaying graphics well,  video does not refresh quickly,  so old info from prior window is still present
[23:30] <Guest8093> in=end
[23:30] <nit-wit> Sanctusorium, I haven't used vnc.
[23:30] <Juest> Sanctusorium: you have to log in using recovery console, is a terminal, closing it ends the session
[23:30] <Sanctusorium> nit-wit: Okie!  Thank you! ;3
[23:31] <Sanctusorium> Juest: How should I go about that?
[23:31] <Juest> about what Sanctusorium?
[23:31] <nemor> Juest it could be permissions on .desktop files
