[10:48] <austinium> ohsix: thanks :)
[10:48] <ohsix> try echo ~ and echo '~' in a terminal
[10:48] <Lew> do I boot from first harddisk
[10:48] <ohsix> austinium:
[10:48] <phoque> sorry austinium, didn't get your question at first
[10:48] <Lew> or install
[10:48] <ohsix> er, austinium: " works too, but $ is still expanded in "
[10:49] <fairuz> Lew: so you are now on CD?
[10:49] <V01> dubey, -auto-repair i guess
[10:49] <austinium> ohsix: thanks again
[10:49] <V01> dubey, -auto-repair db-u-p
[10:49] <fairuz> Can you boot from CD?
[10:50] <ShapeShifter|iPo> Hi
[10:50] <V01> dubey, -r should do it if u ssh in
[10:51] <ShapeShifterIPOD> How do I register more than one user name to one irc account here in freenode?
[10:52] <dubey> V01: I am on the db server
[10:52] <ShapeShifterIPOD> I know it's possible I just don't know the command
[10:52] <Lew_> sorry fairuz
[10:52] <spaceninja> hi, does anyone know a good alternative to cheese cam recorder?
[10:52] <Lew_> so what do I do
[10:52] <perlmonkey> hi, can anyone advise me on how to switch languages in Ubuntu? I'm aware of the language support utility but whenever I start it up, it just disappears off the screen.. does anyone know the name of it to start from a shell, or perhaps another way of changing language?
[10:53] <Lew_> fairuz?
[10:54] <brontosaurusrex_> i've made a script ntpdate in /etc/cron.dailiy (ubuntu server 9.10), that has: ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com <- in it, however it appears that the command needs sudo, how to fix that?
[10:54] <dfs> brontosaurusrex_: did you do that as root or your regular user?
[10:55] <brontosaurusrex_> dfs, as root
[10:55] <thevishy> maybe the script shud run as a sudo then ?
[10:55] <brontosaurusrex_> all the scripts in there are root:root
[10:55] <dubey> V01: got it : http://pastebin.com/6aBkK8NH
[10:55] <ShapeShifterIPOD> Can anyone help?
[10:56] <brontosaurusrex_> and with -rwxr-xr-x 1 permissions
[10:56] <ortsvorsteher> brontosaurusrex_ did you try this link before you setup ntp? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html
[10:57] <ShapeShifterIPOD> Never mind got support in the #freenode channel
[10:57] <brontosaurusrex_> ortsvorsteher, yes
[10:59] <brontosaurusrex_> ortsvorsteher, those were the instructions i was following
[10:59] <Lew_> fairuz?
[11:00] <ortsvorsteher> brontosaurusrex_ i never tried to setup ubuntu server with ntpd. so now i tried on my computer but i have not more ideas for you at the moment.
[11:01] <brontosaurusrex_> ortsvorsteher, i didnt try ntpd, just the 1st part of updating clock once per day seems to be enough
[11:01] <jwtiyar> all folder in laces open with movile player
[11:02] <soidexe> what to do if kill -9 <pid> doesn't kill a process?
[11:02] <ortsvorsteher> brontosaurusrex_, i think it would be good for a server to setup ntpd.
[11:02] <bullgard4>  /proc/sys/kernel/hostname is empty. What programs use to fill this file and what programs use to read this file?
[11:02] <Da|Mummy> speaking of which, how do i kill a process, vlc player in this case?
[11:02] <cellardoor> bullgard4: you want to know what kernel version you are running?
[11:02] <erUSUL> Da|Mummy: pkill vlc
[11:02] <brontosaurusrex_> ortsvorsteher, why?
[11:03] <bullgard4> cellardoor:   /proc/sys/kernel/hostname is empty. What programs use to fill this file and what programs use to read this file?
[11:03] <iceroot> bullgard4: what you expect in that file?
[11:03] <Da|Mummy> thx erUSUL
[11:03] <cellardoor> bullgard4: yeah I get it, but what are you using this file for?
[11:03] <spidernet> hi ubuntu i need this tool flasm i type in the terminal apt-get install flasm but no results
[11:03] <bullgard4> iceroot: A value.
[11:03] <ortsvorsteher> brontosaurusrex_, because this is the service which will help your server to correct the time automatically
[11:03] <soidexe> hey there, what do I do if kill -9 <pid> doesn't kill a process?
[11:04] <iceroot> bullgard4: ... can you give usefull infos?
[11:04] <Lew_> iceroot
[11:04] <spidernet> hi ubuntu i need this tool flasm i type in the terminal apt-get install flasm but no results
[11:04] <cellardoor> bullgard4: type 'uname -a' into a terminal and enter it, perhaps that output is what you want?
[11:04] <Lew_> im using ubuntu Disk to fix missing files, what do I choose in disk menu
[11:04] <spidernet> hi ubuntu i need this tool flasm i type in the terminal "apt-get install flasm" but no results
[11:04] <erUSUL> !hostname | bullgard4
[11:04] <bullgard4> iceroot: Please give a reasonable answer and stop trolling.
[11:05] <iceroot> bullgard4: i asked you what value you expect. hostname of the system, kernel version and so on
[11:05] <iceroot> bullgard4: so its up to you to fill this discussion with usefull infos

[11:06] <SarcasMo> does anyone know how to register your name?
[11:06] <iceroot> !register | SarcasMo
[11:06] <ioria> hi, does anyone use a SD reader not USB , but integrated ? thanks
[11:07] <erUSUL> soidexe: in those situations the only theng you can do is reboot althought sometimes killing the parent process works
[11:07] <Lew_> eruSUL, im using ubuntu disk to fix missing files required for boot... What option do I pick?
[11:07] <SarcasMo> !SarcasMo | Sarcaso
[11:07] <soidexe> erUSUL: it's gnome-panel hanged
[11:07] <SarcasMo> damn

[11:07] <erUSUL> Lew_: livecd ?
[11:07] <soidexe> erUSUL: ok I'll try to restart X
[11:07] <iceroot> !best > benzaldehyde
[11:07] <Lew_> the CD from ubuntu site
[11:07] <iceroot> benzaldehyde: but of course its irssi
[11:08] <SarcasMo> iceroot: I meant registerin on IRC
[11:08] <erUSUL> Lew_: choose; try ubuntu without affecting hard disk or something like that
[11:08] <iceroot> SarcasMo: yes and ubottu told you the way
[11:08] <Lew_> yeah I did, then turned off and on and it still wouldnt boot?
[11:08] <ioria> hi, does anyone use a SD reader not USB , but integrated ? thanks
[11:08] <SarcasMo> iceroot:  i see ty
[11:09] <phonex01> im using virtualbox how can i bridge wlano on the virtual machine to see it as wireless
[11:09] <iceroot> ioria: if i am correct they are all connected through usb
[11:09] <Xeli> Hello, what's the proper way of preventing a service/daemon from starting up at boot? removing it's entry in /etc/init.d doesn't really seems nice
[11:09] <phonex01> because when i bridge a wireless interface the virtual machiene see it as ethernet and not as wireless
[11:10] <ioria> no, i have an old Toshiba Tecra with an integrated reader
[11:10] <iceroot> phonex01: because vbox doesnt bring a wifi-modul just some eth-interfaces
[11:10] <ortsvorsteher> !boot | Xeli
[11:10] <iceroot> ioria: and the integrated are connected through the usb
[11:10] <ioria> really ???
[11:10] <iceroot> ioria: you will the it in dmesg that the card-reader is a usb-device
[11:11] <iceroot> see
[11:11] <Xeli> ah, thanks alot ortsvorsteher :)
[11:11] <ioria> but cannot work
[11:11] <ortsvorsteher> Xeli, yw :)
[11:11] <iceroot> ioria: if you put a card inside, is dmesg showing that action?
[11:12] <ioria> no, the led is out
[11:12] <erUSUL> Xeli: if it is still managed by /etc/init.d/ then use update-rc.d
[11:12] <iceroot> ioria: and the hardware is ok?
[11:12] <ioria> i think so
[11:14] <ioria> i tried the lspci ... but i cannot find it
[11:14] <iceroot> ioria: enabled in the bios?
[11:14] <ioria> i don't know how to enter a linux bios :-(
[11:16] <ioria> in winXp  i pressed F1...
[11:16] <iceroot> ioria: linux and windows dont have a bios, the bios is part of the hardware
[11:17] <benzaldehyde> BIOS, i don't think has anything to do with one or the other
[11:17] <ioria> ops
[11:17] <zheng_> hhe
[11:17] <raylee> hi
[11:17] <zheng_> hello
[11:18] <ioria> i tried the lspci ... but i cannot find it
[11:18] <benzaldehyde> what are you trying to do by going into BIOS?
[11:18] <ioria> looking for a SD card reader
[11:19] <benzaldehyde> remind me again what SD is
[11:19] <ioria> like cellphone card
[11:19] <ioria> but inserted in a bigger card
[11:19] <benzaldehyde> okay, texas instruments makes the software for my laptop regarging the little cards
[11:20] <kek> Why is my chromium-browser using Droid Sans as the font on Wikipedia? I don't think I've set that anywhere...

[11:26] <NET||abuse> hmm, has anyone else noticed a strange behaviour,, when you set a window as ontop,, it suddenly looses the ability to be clicked on if any other non-ontop window is bhind it.
[11:26] <NET||abuse> i'm finding this on ubuntu 10.04
[11:27] <NET||abuse> not getting it on ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook

[11:28] <saruji> Hello, I am have a question.  Attempting to install ubuntu 10.10 on top of win7, however ubuntu installer only see's my 2nd hard drive (D: in windows)  I partitioned my first drive in windows (C:) to have free unpartitioned space, however it does not show up in the ubuntu installer.  Any ideas?  Thanks for any input
[11:28] <ioria> thanx
[11:28] <red2kic> NET||abuse: Maybe you're using a theme that have little or no feedbacks? Also, if you're not getting it on 10.10 -- the bug got fixed, perhaps.
[11:28] <keyUp> I am using wireless right now from my neighbour
[11:28] <keyUp> I can't even logon to the modem page
[11:28] <keyUp> once i managed to open 1/3 of it
[11:29] <YankDownUnder> saruji, You might want to try using the "manual" partitioning instead - that allows you to specify your target(s)...
[11:29] <ioria> i try
[11:29] <keyUp> sry i have droped
[11:29] <keyUp>  I have changed ISP and now I can't connect my laptop to internet
[11:30] <saruji> YankDownUnder I go through the manual partitioning instead, however the drive does not appear there?  Is it possible that win7 wrote MBR to the 2nd drive and install itself on the 1st?
[11:30] <keyUp> I am using wireless right now from my neighbour I can't even logon to the modem page
[11:30] <sacarlson> keyUp: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[11:30] <keyUp> when i ping google.com from terminal it said 58 ms
[11:30] <keyUp> something like that
[11:30] <jatt> you have the wrong dns servers
[11:31] <keyUp> <IP_ADDRESS> was google dns right?
[11:31] <jatt> adjust /etc/resolv.conf
[11:31] <sacarlson> keyUp: yes
[11:31] <sacarlson> keyUp: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:31] <keyUp> sec
[11:31] <keyUp> now I have wireless on
[11:31] <keyUp> if i plug it of and try to ping i will lose irc
[11:31] <keyUp> sec i will login again
[11:32] <saruji> YankDownUnder I go through the manual partitioning instead, however the drive does not appear there?  Is it possible that win7 wrote MBR to the 2nd drive and install itself on the 1st?
[11:33] <jwtiyar> how to enable the universe component?
[11:34] <jatt> how can I make an external usb bootable?
[11:34] <perlmonkey> does anyone know how to fix broken language support?
[11:34] <jatt> I already installed ubuntu on it and I can mount the partitions and run programs from the usb with chroot
[11:34] <saruji> jatt goto administrator and choose create startup ....
[11:34] <sacarlson> YankDownUnder: are you using wubi to install or a liveboot cd?
[11:34] <jatt> saruji: I tried that some weeks ago and it recreated my partitions!
[11:34] <jatt> saruji: I lost all my data
[11:34] <jatt> saruji: is there a way to do it with the command line?
[11:35] <ioria> the drivers are only for windows :-(((
[11:35] <saruji> jatt, right but it was bootable
[11:35] <jatt> saruji: the partition /dev/sdb2 is marked with * when I do fdisk -l
[11:35] <saruji> jatt you asked, how do I make an external usb drive bootable
[11:35] <jatt> saruji: so it's bootable in principle, the bios also tries to boot from the usb, but it fails
[11:36] <saruji> jatt ah, so the computer does not boot to the usb drive?
[11:36] <guampa> jatt: you need to install a bootloader in the usb drive
[11:36] <jatt> guampa: you mean grub?
[11:36] <perlmonkey> does anyone know where the language locale config files are to edit manually?
[11:36] <guampa> yes grub, syslinux, grub4dos etc
[11:37] <guampa> perlmonkey: theres a gui tool in the administration menu to manage language settings
[11:37] <perlmonkey> guampa yes it seems to be broken or have a long standing bug issue
[11:37] <jatt> guampa: will try that, I also try to follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB
[11:37] <jatt> guampa: however it seemed to me very complicated, I will try to just install grub and see what happens
[11:38] <jatt> does it make a difference if I install grub in the usb when I access my usb with a chroot?
[11:38] <guampa> jatt: no, its not necessary to chroot to install it
[11:39] <[twisti]> isnt there anyone here who will help me with my language issue ? i cant imagine this would take more than like 60 seconds
[11:39] <jatt> guampa: how can I do it without chroot? I chroot to it and then run apt-get or gnome-session to run graphical programs there
[11:39] <erUSUL> !anyone | [twisti]
[11:39] <guampa> jatt: i think the instructions in that page are grub1, its easier now with grub2
[11:39] <[twisti]> erUSUL: already done, nobody replied
[11:39] <jatt> guampa: I see
[11:39] <guampa> lemme check, i was messing with all this a month ago
[11:40] <jatt> guampa: will try with grub2, but you mean apt-get install grub from the chroot is not the way to go isn't it?
[11:40] <erUSUL> [twisti]: checked System>Admin...>Language Support ?
[11:40] <StuckMojo> where can i look for info on unattended installs?
[11:40] <StuckMojo> we've got a colo box we want to move from centos to ubuntu, but no KVM access
[11:40] <erUSUL> !automate | StuckMojo
[11:40] <[twisti]> erUSUL: sure. where do i find system, admin and language support ? its in another language, remember ? :(
[11:40] <StuckMojo> so it would be nice to ...
[11:40] <StuckMojo> thanks
[11:41] <[twisti]> thats why i came here
[11:41] <Lew> fairuz
[11:41] <Lew> u there?
[11:41] <guampa> jatt: it isn't but for other reasons, "apt-get install grub" installs the grub software package in your system, its not for arbitrarily installing grub to some device
[11:41] <[twisti]> i was hoping someone could be like "right click, 2nd option from the top, then 3rd option, then 1st button"
[11:41] <perlmonkey> this language bug is driving me crazy
[11:41] <keyUp> I don't know what i s the problem
[11:41] <keyUp> i got this when pinged <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:41] <keyUp> 18 packets transmitted, 5 received, 72% packet loss, time 17054ms
[11:41] <keyUp> when I am connected to lan i don't have interet at all even I am conected wan now i pluged of lan
[11:41] <jatt> guampa: I see, thanks!
[11:42] <keyUp> its strange
[11:42] <ioria> try the ip of your router
[11:42] <guampa> jatt: found the grub2 command line to install to usb
[11:42] <erUSUL> [twisti]: press " alt + f2 " type in the box " gnome-language-selector " press enter
[11:42] <keyUp> should I put mac address of the router in network connection settings or that is optional?
[11:42] <ioria> usually <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:42] <Lew> anyone can help me with LiveCD
[11:42] <ioria> or <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:42] <keyUp> but really I wonder how I cant open <IP_ADDRESS> motoral router page
[11:43] <jatt> guampa: great, can you share it with me :)?
[11:43] <Lew> I am missing files and cannot boot im running thw trial ubuntu, what do I do now
[11:43] <jatt> guampa: I just found with google http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-grub2-on-usb-from-ubuntu-linux/
[11:43] <jatt> guampa: is grub-install?
[11:43] <ioria> the router page requires a user and password
[11:43] <keyUp> it isnt openning at all
[11:43] <guampa> jatt: that's the one :)
[11:43] <ioria> the adress is wrong, maybe
[11:43] <Lew> erUSUL, I am on the trial ubuntu thing
[11:43] <keyUp> nop
[11:43] <[twisti]> erUSUL: it started and i set everything to english, but the buttons are still all italian (i think). do i need to reboot ? if so, how ?
[11:44] <keyUp> once i opened it 1/3
[11:44] <keyUp> strange
[11:44] <keyUp> tomorow technicians will come
[11:44] <jatt> guampa: ok, I will try it tonight at home
[11:44] <Lew> what do I do so it fixes original partition
[11:44] <guampa> good
[11:45] <jwtiyar> how to enable the universe component?
[11:45] <erUSUL> [twisti]: there should be a power button in the panel the reboot is the second to last in the menu that appears when you click on it
[11:45] <erUSUL> jwtiyar: should be already enabled.
[11:45] <[twisti]> it doesnt seem to have worked
[11:45] <[twisti]> i mean, it rebooted, but its still in that weird language
[11:45] <erUSUL> jwtiyar: check in ubuntu software center Edit>Software Sources
[11:45] <perlmonkey> language support is badly mangled in Ubuntu *still* this bug has existed for at least 4 successive distro updates
[11:46] <Lew> USUL, what do I do from here?
[11:46] <Lew> Im on trial ubuntu thing.... How does it fix original parition
[11:46] <erUSUL> Lew: i do nor know what your problem originally was.
[11:46] <erUSUL> not*
[11:46] <Lew> The booting problem
[11:47] <ioria> keyUp... check the wi-fi channel
[11:47] <[twisti]> i think i got it
[11:47] <Lew> now I got the disk, and am trying to fix missing boot files
[11:47] <erUSUL> Lew: you can use gparted ( system>admin...>partition editor ) to check partitions
[11:47] <[twisti]> uninstalled the language (it was italian) alltogether
[11:47] <Lew> and do what from there
[11:47] <[twisti]> yes! thank you, erUSUL
[11:47] <erUSUL> Lew: right click on the problematic partition and choose verify it
[11:48] <erUSUL> [twisti]: no problem

[11:52] <guampa> StuckMojo: if you want to test the apache config you can try starting it manually with -t, ie sudo apache2 -t
[11:52] <perlmonkey> ok I solved the language bug in Ubuntu
[11:52] <shomon> StuckMojo, try going into #apache although you may get flamed in there...
[11:52] <shomon> I did a couple of times anyway...
[11:52] <perlmonkey> easy fix, if anyone wants to know..just edit your bash profile and add/remove the language support pack export line

[12:06] <Spamicles> is there such thing as a book/guide for "using linux like a pro"? ive used ubuntu and other flavors a little over the years for technical/scientific stuff, but my lack of knowledge of all the parts of the operating system and how they work (like useful bash scripts) make me forever-a-newbie

[12:10] <Spamicles> guampa, i dont know. when im putzing around or trying to figure something out (which i usually end up coming on here to do if i get stuck). i just feel like im lacking an understanding of how everything works. someone once recommended linux from scratch.
[12:11] <jwtiyar> all places open with movie player how to fix?
[12:11] <DevDz> Hi:)
[12:13] <guampa> Spamicles: LFS is a good way to learn how stuff works, yeah you can try that...it could qualify as a "pro" guide
[12:14] <ohsix> more like pro bably a waste of time
[12:14] <guampa> whatever that means
[12:15] <Spamicles> ohsix, you wouldnt recommend it?
[12:16] <guampa> Spamicles: how long you've been using linux?

[12:28] <edwinkcw> does empathy support file transfer? I find this is diabled in the menu
[12:28] <ljsoftnet> how can i let xfapplet save my current prefences of gnome system monitor applet?
[12:28] <ManDay> I downloaded the amd64 desktop edition, copied it onto an USB thumbdrive and set up grub1 on it to match the grub2 config that ships with the image (meaning kernel-args such as boot=casper etc.). But when I boot, at some point I get "Begin: Running /scripts/casper-premount ... done. done. stdin: error 0 /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found"
[12:29] <DevDz> how about krunner
[12:29] <ohsix> ManDay: it means theres no disk in your drive, and it's looking for one
[12:29] <syn3rgy> How do I see if there is a new Git out then the one I already pulled? Git status ? Git diff?
[12:29] <ManDay> ohsix: hm? what drive? why is it looking for one? how do I tell it to look at the right place?
[12:29] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[12:30] <ManDay> is that another kernel opt?
[12:31] <syn3rgy> How do I see if there is a new Git out then the one I already pulled? Git status ? Git diff? I am writing a bash script but there is no reason to pull a new Git if the master one has not changed.

[12:34] <kodez> good day everyone. how do i solve a problem of usb not mounting?
[12:34] <ManDay> I downloaded the amd64 desktop edition, copied it onto an USB thumbdrive and set up grub1 on it to match the grub2 config that ships with the image (meaning kernel-args such as boot=casper etc.). But when I boot, at some point I get "Begin: Running /scripts/casper-premount ... done. done. stdin: error 0 /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found" How can I solve that?
[12:35] <tuxx-> kodez: depens on what the problem is. Check out the command 'dmesg' and see if you can get any errors out of that ;p
[12:35] <jrib> ManDay: hmm, I don't know.   But it might help to tell us why you are replacing grub2 with grub1
[12:36] <jrib> kodez: can you mount it manually on the command line?
[12:36] <ManDay> jrib: 1) i dont like grub2 2) I'm creating this disk from a gentoo system where i only have grub1 installed
[12:36] <kodez>  i can't even see it when is ls /dev/disk/by-id
[12:36] <ManDay> i dont think grub is to blame here
[12:37] <benzaldehyde> i have ubuntu on PS3, is there a way to use a different resolution where i could manage or adjust the black bars on the sides and top of the screen? when i switch to a 480i mode the screen is off-centered and i can't see the prompt
[12:37] <jrib> ManDay: what is your intent?  To install ubuntu from the usb drive?
[12:37] <syn3rgy> kodez what do you see when you try fdisk -l
[12:38] <ohsix> benzaldehyde: usually those are tv adjustments
[12:38] <ManDay> jrib: just have a live pen drive

[12:39] <brian1> hi i have installed xubuntu along with windowsXP,an and i have recently updated my xubuntu to kernel version 2.6.35-28 and how when i choose to boot windowsXP in grub, winXP boots without any problems until i get to see my Desktop for 5 seconds and then all of the sudden the system restarts/resets and I land in the grub bootmenu
[12:40] <Hardin> pratheep: Details please
[12:40] <ManDay> jrib: no
[12:40] <Hardin> pratheep: For example, what tool are you using to format
[12:40] <ManDay> nothing special
[12:41] <ManDay> jrib: just what unetbootin would usually do
[12:41] <saksham> how to reinstall a software? I'm not sure if it installed correctly
[12:41] <jrib> ManDay: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick and verify it actually works with unetbootin and/or usb-disk-creator
[12:41] <ManDay> it works with unetbootin
[12:41] <ManDay> i can confirm that
[12:41] <jrib> saksham: what software?  How did you install it?
[12:41] <brian1> hi i have installed xubuntu along with windowsXP,an and i have recently updated my xubuntu to kernel version 2.6.35-28 and how when i choose to boot windowsXP in grub, winXP boots without any problems until i get to see my Desktop for 5 seconds and then all of the sudden the system restarts/resets and I land in the grub bootmenu
[12:43] <jrib> brian1: if win xp starts booting it's a windows issue
[12:43] <ohsix> brian1: that sounds like a windows problem
[12:43] <guampa> brian1: if you can see your desktop, grub is working fine. at that point it has long finished its job
[12:43] <benzaldehyde> how can i disable parts and joins and quits in irssi?
[12:44] <ohsix> benzaldehyde: /window level -parts -quits iirc; theres online /help though if i'm wrong
[12:44] <brian1> ok good to know
[12:44] <saksham> i installed octave (on opensuse), and while installation, I ignored an error shown about a missing library
[12:44] <saksham> later i installed the library
[12:44] <DJones> !quietirssi | benzaldehyde
[12:44] <jrib> saksham: but this is #ubuntu for ubuntu support
[12:45] <jrib> ManDay: I don't know of the specifics but doesn't unetbootin do more than what you described? Involving syslinux?
[12:45] <ohsix> benzaldehyde: /window level -joins -parts -quits
[12:45] <saksham> yes..but I figured there won't be much difference..
[12:45] <benzaldehyde> that just said window level is now NONE??
[12:46] <jrib> saksham: please ask in the channel for your distribution
[12:46] <saksham> ok
[12:46] <thevishy> has anyone tried etoile desktop environment here ?
[12:47] <ManDay> jrib: i'm not sure. i thought unetbootin simply usesy syslinux instead of grub
[12:47] <ManDay> i thought they are interchangable
[12:47] <ManDay> after all it sorta works
[12:47] <antant> Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to install old kernels? They don't seem to be in synaptic
[12:47] <ManDay> its just that error half they way through the boot
[12:47] <jrib> ManDay: hmm, don't know enough to help you
[12:47] <ManDay> no prob. thanks for the hints jrib
[12:47] <jwtiyar> my 10.4 does not support my huawei modem
[12:47] <mansel> Another little question, I can just access my jboss server (that is isntalled in same machine) using <IP_ADDRESS> or the computer name. Is there anyway to do that when someone points to my IP (intranet) he  could be able to access the jboss server? (if it would be at <IP_ADDRESS> it would work). Sorry if question is not concise.
[12:48] <guampa> ManDay: the way i understand it, as long as you can specify an initrd and kernel params, you can use grub1/2/grub4dos/syslinux
[12:48] <ManDay> huh?
[12:48] <ManDay> guampa: what will that do
[12:49] <ManDay> what is that path you mentioned?
[12:49] <ManDay> oh, lol
[12:49] <guampa> ManDay: ...
[12:49] <ManDay> its not meant to be a path i see
[12:49] <ManDay> yes, i thought so too
[12:49] <guampa> no just the options
[12:49] <ManDay> yes.
[12:49] <ManDay> is it maybe related to specifying file=/cdrom/... as a kernel arg?
[12:50] <ManDay> i think the problem really is that the kernel assumes that it finds itsself and its data on the cdrom /dev/sr0 where actually its on the usb
[12:50] <ManDay> /dev/sda
[12:50] <ManDay> (or so)
[12:50] <guampa> hmm what are you trying to boot? an ubuntu?
[12:50] <ohsix> the kernel doesn't do it, the scripts in the initrd do
[12:50] <ManDay> yes 64b desktop
[12:50] <DND>  /join #wordpress
[12:50] <ManDay> ohsix: yeah or that
[12:50] <groove> hi
[12:50] <guampa> hm

[12:51] <benzaldehyde> does not receiving migraines correlate to lack of intelligence?
[12:52] <benzaldehyde> *equivicate
[12:53] <ManDay> sorry your vocab is too fancy for us migraine-plaqued linux users to understand
[12:53] <guampa> ManDay: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4696/install-ubuntu-10-10-server-from-usb-with-grub4dos
[12:53] <ManDay> guampa: grub4dos ... why that... well ill take a look thanks

[12:54] <Kicchiri> Hi. I'm a newcomer to Ubuntu (and mostly Linux as well) -- Anything I have to know when trying to set up a secure system?
[12:54] <Kicchiri> Also, what's a good choice for browser & IRC Client?
[12:54] <ohsix> you could just like,  install it; it's a fully mountable fs and you can chroot to it and run the installer
[12:56] <Blizar> hi ! Is there a command to know what is the file pointed by a symbolic link?
[12:56] <guampa> Kicchiri: you can start securing by setting up a firewall
[12:57] <guampa> !firewall
[12:57] <ohsix> Blizar: ls -l
[12:57] <ohsix> guampa: theres not much running by default, and stopping those is advisable before just firewalling everything
[12:58] <jrib> Blizar: also readlink.  « readlink -f » will keep following symlinks recursively
[12:58] <guampa> firewalling is always a good thing anyway
[12:58] <ohsix> not
[12:58] <Kicchiri> Hm. Thanks. I will require some open ports though... what's the primary source of insecurity on not-firewalled ports?
[12:58] <benzaldehyde> tony does not rule
[12:58] <Blizar> really interesting jrib  thx
[12:58] <jrib> benzaldehyde: please keep the discussion in this channel about ubuntu support only
[12:59] <guampa> not really interested in arguing, so be that as you like
[12:59] <ohsix> Kicchiri: the primary source is unknowable!11 it's really scarry ;]
[12:59] <benzaldehyde> tony does not rule ubuntu software
[12:59] <jrib> benzaldehyde: ok funny, but seriously stop:)
[12:59] <Asad> Is there a software in ubuntu to adjust software-based contrast/brightness/gamma etc. (like in windows)..
[12:59] <ohsix> guampa: firewalls can be messed with, it's the software and the exposure surface that's a problem, firewalling can be part of that
[12:59] <benzaldehyde> alright :3
[12:59] <ohsix> Asad: for video outputs or for everything?
[13:00] <Asad> ohsix: ... uhh... for my laptop LCD monitor. That's video output yeah.
[13:00] <ohsix> Asad: video as in things that use a video port, not the display itself
[13:01] <DP_Prophet> Hi all, I have a question concerning broken packages after an update
[13:01] <Asad> I can adjust gamma using xgamma but I wanted to adjust contrast/brightness too..
[13:01] <ohsix> Asad: xvattr changes the xvideo port properties, and video players occasionally support it directly, as for the rest it'd be driver specific afaik
[13:02] <pratheep> ubuntu play game??
[13:02] <Asad> oh ok ohsix .. so i guess it would only be available for non-free nvidia/ati drivers ? what is used for intel hd displays in core i5 ... ?
[13:02] <DP_Prophet> I keep getting the following: unable to install (supposed) new info file `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/md5sums': Is a directory
[13:03] <DP_Prophet> found no solutions online
[13:03] <ohsix> Asad: i do not know
[13:03] <jrib> DP_Prophet: well... is it a directory?
[13:03] <DP_Prophet> no, it doesn't even exist
[13:03] <Zulo> hi, one question! in bash how to can save the symbol & in a variable?
[13:03] <jrib> DP_Prophet: what are you installing?
[13:04] <DP_Prophet> libdbus-1-dev
[13:04] <DP_Prophet> just an update
[13:04] <jrib> Zulo: foo='&'
[13:04] <resmo> hi
[13:04] <ohsix> Asad: i lied, xrandr has gamma controls for individual channels
[13:04] <DP_Prophet> jrib: tried uninstalling, --purge
[13:04] <Zulo> thanks jrib :)
[13:04] <DP_Prophet> apt-get install -f
[13:04] <Asad> lol cool ohsix ...
[13:04] <benzaldehyde> xrandr where do i know that word from
[13:04] <DP_Prophet> but nothing
[13:05] <jrib> DP_Prophet: can you pastebin full output with the error (and the command you ran)
[13:05] <DP_Prophet> sure, sec
[13:05] <Asad> i currently use xrandr to switch from and to internal/external display ... somehow ubuntu doesn't support fn + f4 on my laptop
[13:05] <ohsix> Asad: you should report a bug about that
[13:05] <tim167> hello, how do i find out which device is mounted to /media/32rewrewrewr... ?
[13:05] <ohsix> Asad: but theres also the monitor applet which uses xrandr and applies your prefs at boot
[13:05] <ohsix> s/boot/logon
[13:06] <jrib> tim167: type « mount »
[13:06] <tim167> jrib: thanks :)
[13:06] <sunit> I am trying to run slon sql90_cluster "dbname=openbravo3rc4" and slon sql90_cluster "dbname=healthopenstagingdb" in ubuntu 9.10 as deamon so that it will start in boot time. Shall I add this file to /etc/rc.local file ?
[13:06] <resmo> I installed ubuntu on a server I marked "automated security updates" how can I change this?
[13:07] <resmo> afterwards
[13:07] <jrib> resmo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates mayhaps
[13:07] <DP_Prophet> jrib: http://pastebin.com/G198XN7z
[13:08] <benzaldehyde> Asad:  i don't use a laptop but i can tell you that alt plus a numbered F key will take you between shells and when in GUI alt+ctrl plus F keys will do the same. usually the GUI is on F7
[13:08] <Ja23> I pressed Ctrl+C in terminal and it interrupted (as it's supposed to) but I'd like to uninterrrupt, can i do this?
[13:08] <resmo> jrib, this seems not the way ubuntu made this
[13:08] <jrib> resmo: hmm, how come?
[13:09] <benzaldehyde> Ctrl+C should be Copy, are you thinking of Control+Break?
[13:09] <resmo> jrib, I mean in the installer, you can checkmark automated updates, and I want this to be undone
[13:09] <ohsix> Ja23: you can't uninterrupt it, that kills it; you probably wanted ctrl+z
[13:09] <Asad> benzaldehyde: uhh.. alt + ctrl + f4 for toggle display?
[13:09] <jrib> resmo: yes, you verified that it's done using one of the two packages mentioned on that wiki page?  Can you check if they are installed?
[13:10] <ohsix> Ja23: then you use job control stuff to work with it, fg, bg, jobs; it's part of your shell
[13:10] <benzaldehyde> in GUI it that should take you to a shell
[13:10] <antant> Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to install old kernels? They don't seem to be in synaptic
[13:10] <Ja23> ohsix: So i should press ctrl+Z
[13:10] <resmo> jrib, yep, also check cron.d and cron.daily nothing found
[13:10] <resmo> checked
[13:11] <ohsix> Ja23: that will interrupt a running program and give you an opportunity to continue it in the background or the foreground; instead of killing it completely
[13:11] <Ja23> ohsix: I was in the middle of working on installing a ppa of gnome, and it was asking me a question, and I went to copy and paste the q into google
[13:11] <ohsix> Ja23: if you wanted to copy things from a terminal when theres a dialogue on it, hold shift so it doesn't send mouse clicks to it
[13:12] <jrib> resmo: are you sure the updates are enabled?
[13:12] <Ja23> ohsix: yeah, I found that out the hard way, haha
[13:12] <Ja23> ohsix: So, is there a way to take a step back?
[13:12] <Guest36045> howdy, i've a rather serious problem. I removed my inscription files n' I can't find their. I tried with photorec and other programs but it don't work. I must send these files before this friday :
[13:12] <kz3> can anyone teach me how to install a tar.gz file?
[13:13] <Pici> Ja23: in a terminal, ctrl-c is break. to copy, either select the text with your cursor and use middle-mouse to paste. or use shift-ctrl-c or ctrl-ins to copy
[13:13] <jrib> kz3: you avoid doing so and just use apt
[13:13] <jrib> !compile > kz3
[13:13] <ohsix> Ja23: you'll have to start again; chances are since you interrupted it, it will say packages are broken and to use dpkg-reconfigure or something, then it will re-ask you the question
[13:13] <kz3> how to compile?
[13:13] <resmo> jrib, I ask this myself :). hmm I am installing again in a vm, to see the difference... thx
[13:13] <ikonia> kz3: compile what
[13:13] <Guest36045> \nick Morgoth
[13:14] <alkisg> Is there a proprietary nvidia driver that supports Vanta? (1999)
[13:14] <Ja23> ohsix: so, i was "building" something, do I just reenter the last command I had entered to start building GNOME?
[13:14] <papagno> hi
[13:14] <kz3> compile a tar.gz file
[13:14] <resmo> hi papagno
[13:14] <ikonia> kz3: what is the software you want to compile
[13:14] <papagno> anyone having problems with external monitor and natty?
[13:14] <kz3> i wanna install utorrent on my PC and i had to download a tar.gz file and i am not able to install it
[13:14] <Pici> papagno : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Natty/11.04 support/discussion.
[13:14] <Guest36045> howdy, i've a rather serious problem. I removed my inscription files n' I can't find their. I tried with photorec and other programs but it don't work. I must send these files before this friday :
[13:14] <ikonia> !utorrent
[13:14] <solvik> hi. i'm search a solution in order to close a session instead of lock it when there is a certain amount of inactivity. i've searched but didn't find any solution
[13:15] <SpitfireWP> kz3, tar.gz is a archive.
[13:15] <jrib> DP_Prophet: check /var/lib/dpkg/info/libdbus-1-dev.md5sums
[13:15] <ikonia> !info utorrent
[13:15] <kz3> so how to install it?
[13:15] <benzaldehyde> Morgoth: try /nick Morgoth not \nick
[13:15] <ikonia> !torrent

[13:16] <Guest36045> jrib : thank you
[13:16] <Lew_> when im formatting my HDD what options do I do
[13:16] <Lew_> master boot record?
[13:17] <ikonia> Lew_: what do you mean, what options ?
[13:17] <Lew_> like
[13:17] <benzaldehyde> Lew_: well that is ultimately up to you, do you mean how to slice it?
[13:17] <ohsix> Lew_: unless you know you need gpt, yes; use mbr if it's an x86
[13:17] <Lew_> gpt?
[13:17] <benzaldehyde> huh?
[13:18] <ohsix> Lew_: linux can read all sorts of types of partitions, but it's up to your computer's bios to boot them; so if it's a boot volume it's important to use mbr
[13:18] <benzaldehyde> oh gparted
[13:18] <Lew_> im doing it because my HDD is pretty much missing
[13:18] <solvik> hi. i'm searching a solution in order to close a session instead of lock it when there is a certain amount of inactivity. i've searched but didn't find any solution
[13:18] <Lew_> and it had the orgiginal ubuntu on it
[13:18] <benzaldehyde> gparted is great
[13:18] <kz3> SpitfireWP please see my PM
[13:18] <ohsix> solvik: forcibly closing things can lead to data loss
[13:18] <benzaldehyde> doing what
[13:18] <Pici> !who
[13:19] <solvik> ohsix: well, i know. but i still *need* to do that
[13:19] <ohsix> solvik: if it really is inactive stuff will get swapped out for things that are actually running
[13:19] <Ja23> Question (double check):  I accidently pressed Ctrl+C while building GNOME, it was paused, telling me I had a phase build error, and asking me a question, is there any possible way to undo my Ctrl+C
[13:19] <ohsix> solvik: then rig up something to kill their session ;]
[13:19] <Lew_> Al;right so
[13:19] <jjp> solvik: often you will have to work with gconf-editor to tweak this
[13:19] <ohsix> Ja23: are you using jhbuild or something? it should ask you what to do if it's interrupted
[13:20] <Lew_> Everything to do with myHDD I get this error "Daemon is inhibited"
[13:20] <Ja23> ohsix: yeah I was using jhbuild
[13:20] <solvik> ohsix: the real problem is there i have several pc with a session system (nis). but when somebody is loggued on more than 1 pc he can't run firefox/chrome (the .config/chromium/SingletonLock etc..)
[13:20] <solvik> and it's very annoying
[13:20] <solvik> so when there is no activity, the session close itself
[13:21] <jjp> solvik: try /apps/gnome-screensaver/logout_enable and logout_delay
[13:21] <benzaldehyde> Ja23: i don't know but why not purge and start over
[13:21] <ohsix> solvik: you can't set up your authentication to not let people on more than once?
[13:21] <Lew_> anyone know?
[13:21] <Ja23> benzaldehyde: It was dling stuff for a few hours and my gf just got here and yada yada
[13:21] <Lew_> Everything to do with my HDD, I get "daemon is inhibited"
[13:21] <benzaldehyde> Lew_: what are you trying to do?
[13:22] <Lew_> Benz: format the HDD
[13:22] <jjp> Lew_: by everything, do u mean automount ?
[13:22] <Ja23> benzaldehyde: I was also worried that if I quit (does that mean purge?) that it would be messed up
[13:22] <solvik> ohsix: i don't think it's possible with nis :)
[13:22] <Lew_> its a boot
[13:22] <ohsix> Lew_: do you have gparted open? those disk tools inhibit udisks while they're running
[13:22] <Lew_> No I dont ohsix
[13:22] <benzaldehyde> Ja23: sir this is a nerd channel kindly take your having a girlfriend and friends and a life elsewhere :)
[13:23] <benzaldehyde> i'm kidding
[13:23] <Ja23> benzaldehyde: =P
[13:23] <Lew_> Anything to do with my HDD I get that error
[13:23] <Lew_> "Daemon is inhibited"
[13:23] <ohsix> Lew_: find out whats inhibiting udisks
[13:23] <Ja23> benzaldehyde: so, it's OK if I just close the terminal and try it again before going to bed?
[13:23] <Lew_> even in uparted
[13:23] <Lew_> gparted
[13:24] <Lew_> theres nothing open
[13:24] <DP_Prophet> jrib, thx, that helped somewhat! Now there is the following however: http://pastebin.com/XgWam47u
[13:24] <benzaldehyde> Lew_: purge removes a package and its 'remnant' files
[13:24] <jjp> Lew_: what is, technically speaking, this HDD ? Classical SATA or USB stuff ?
[13:24] <jrib> DP_Prophet: did you recently have some hardware issues?  Run fsck?
[13:24] <Lew_> SATA
[13:24] <Lew_> Its a boot HDD
[13:24] <ohsix> Lew_: well, something is
[13:25] <benzaldehyde> Ja23: purge removes a package and its 'remnant' files
[13:25] <windvivian> hi
[13:25] <antant> How do I upgrade to a kernel that's not the most recent?
[13:25] <Lew_> Thisarvo I came home and my screen just goes black when I try boot ubuntu
[13:25] <raylee> can anyone help me
[13:25] <Ja23> benzaldehyde: I see..
[13:25] <raylee> i need help on ubuntu
[13:25] <Lew_> im on LiveCD now
[13:25] <jjp> Lew_: tried fdisk ? I wonder if the inhibited daemon is not something like hald
[13:25] <Lew_> on trial ubuntu
[13:25] <DP_Prophet> jrib: had a HD-issue some time ago, ran full recovery then. Haven't done that for a while now. Will try on next reboot. Thank you for your help!
[13:26] <Christoper> anyone else in here on 32Gig of ram?
[13:26] <ikonia> Christoper: you're not, you said you where on 16
[13:26] <Lew_> fdisk?
[13:26] <jrib> antant: that's not upgrading :/  In any case, search for "linux-image" in synaptic

[13:26] <Christoper> if I half the ram to 16G it Ubuntu boots and works fine, however on 32 it blackscreens and shuts down
[13:27] <antant> jrib: cheers. I have a TV card that doesn't work on the latest so I want to try all of the ones leading up to the latest
[13:27] <ohsix> ProNihil1st: either the controller in the housing, or the drive is bad
[13:27] <Lew_> unable to open
[13:27] <Christoper> NVIDIA MCP51 Chipset, quad SLI GTX 480s
[13:27] <ikonia> Christoper: you've just changed that from what you said in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:27] <ProNihil1st> ohsix: even if the drive seems to work in windows?
[13:28] <ikonia> Christoper: you said you where on 16GB of ram
[13:28] <Christoper> no I didnt
[13:28] <ohsix> ProNihil1st: sure
[13:28] <Christoper> you read wrong
[13:28] <jjp> Lew: is dmesg more talkative about this ?
[13:28] <raylee> does anyone use clamav
[13:28] <Christoper> I said Ubuntu boots in 16Gig
[13:28] <ohsix> ProNihil1st: does it have its own power brick or is it all from usb?
[13:28] <ProNihil1st> ohsix: it's own brick
[13:28] <Christoper> it doesnt boot in anything more than 16gig
[13:28] <Torgan> hello
[13:28] <Torgan> I just installed ubuntu from an usb key
[13:28] <ohsix> Christoper: did you install the pae kernel or a 64bit version?
[13:28] <kz3> how to install a tar.gz file in ubuntu?
[13:28] <Christoper> 24, and 32 wont boot
[13:28] <Torgan> and I can't boot without this key
[13:28] <benzaldehyde> ProNihil1st: what would soren kikergard do?
[13:28] <Christoper> I used the 64 bit disk
[13:28] <Torgan> anything I can do about that except reinstalling ?
[13:29] <Christoper> the 32 bit disk wont boot lol
[13:29] <Lew_> dmesg said alot
[13:29] <ikonia> Christoper: try the server install CD as that has PAE inbuilt
[13:29] <ProNihil1st> benzaldehyde: sorry, I don't get the reference, you must have me confused with someone else
[13:29] <Pici> kz3: You should have a bunch of messages from ubottu, one of them was about compiling software.
[13:29] <kz3> Pici what do you mean?
[13:29] <ohsix> ikonia: don't need pae or a special kernel with 64bit
[13:30] <ikonia> ohsix: no, but he said 64bit didn't boot either
[13:30] <Christoper> ikonia, does 11.04 have PAE?
[13:30] <Pici> !compile | kz3
[13:30]  * benzaldehyde face palm
[13:30] <ikonia> Christoper: forget 11.04
[13:30] <jjp> Lew: dmesg |egrep -i '(sata|scsi|hdd)'
[13:30] <Lew_> -.-
[13:30] <ohsix> Christoper: when do you get the black screen? you can make the booting more verbose and look for panics
[13:30] <kz3> how to compile?
[13:30] <ohsix> ikonia: he said the 32bit one doesn't ...
[13:31] <Christoper> ohsix, it gets to the login screen I log in, it then goes to the desktop, I cant move my mouse, then some random numbers and letters pop up for less than a second then it shuts off
[13:31] <ohsix> Christoper: ok that's something else, then
[13:31] <Lew_> then what jjp
[13:31] <Christoper> ohsix, works with 16gig of ram just fine
[13:31] <ohsix> Christoper: but it is panicking; you just need to find out where
[13:31] <Christoper> right
[13:32] <jjp> Lew: then you should find error messages related to ur hardware, and precisely regarding ur hdd
[13:32] <Christoper> ur is not a word
[13:32] <Torgan> can I ask my questino again ? :)
[13:32] <Pici> Torgan: Sure
[13:32] <iceroot> Christoper: why using 32gb with pae?
[13:32] <Lew_> yeah but it dosnt mean **** to me
[13:32] <Lew_> lol
[13:32] <Torgan> I installed ubuntu from an USB key
[13:32] <Torgan> but I can't boot without it !
[13:32] <Christoper> iceroot, I dont know what PAE is?
[13:33] <Torgan> is there a way to fix that exepect a full reinstall ?
[13:33] <papagno> I asked a question in the ubuntu+1 chan but nobody is talking there
[13:33] <Christoper> Torgan, you need to reinstall and use grub
[13:33] <iceroot> Christoper: Christope | ikonia, does 11.04 have PAE?
[13:33] <Torgan> I used grub :/
[13:33] <Lew_> jjp http://pastebin.com/hJ46cwNv
[13:33] <ohsix> iceroot: it's unimportant, i already got the information i needed by asking him about it
[13:34] <Christoper> iceroot, he told me to use the server version of Ubuntu which has PAE kernel
[13:34] <Christoper> so I am downloading it
[13:34] <tobier> Torgan: you probably don't need to reinstall, just (re)install grub
[13:34] <iceroot> Christoper: ah ok
 how ?
[13:34] <iceroot> Christoper: pae is always a bad idea if you have an amd64 cpu
[13:34] <ohsix> Christoper: that might sidestep the problem, but it won't fix the one you're having with the 64bit version
[13:34] <Pici> iceroot: Why is that?
[13:34] <jiltdil> ranjan: u der?
[13:34] <Christoper> iceroot, AMD Phenom iii X6
[13:34] <Torgan> synapic remove / add ?

[13:35] <eveningsky|2> i can't get my wireless to work. network-manager and wicd both claim to connect at 100%, but no internet
[13:35] <gartral> eveningsky|2: are you still connected with a wire?
[13:35] <Christoper> im giving up on Linux on this machine,
[13:35] <Christoper> it works on my other one
[13:35] <benzaldehyde> ubuntu: hey don't i know you from some place?
[13:35] <eveningsky|2> yeah. and i'm talking to you on a different computer
[13:36] <Christoper> but it would have been nice to dualboot, use Windows for games and Linux for desktop
[13:36] <eveningsky|2> gartral: ^
[13:36] <Lew_> jjp http://pastebin.com/hJ46cwNv
[13:36] <ubuntu> haha
[13:36] <gartral> eveningsky|2: ok, let me rephrase: are you trying too connect too wifi while a network cable is plugged into the same machine?
[13:37] <eveningsky|2> no. i understand that could be a problem
[13:37] <Christoper> also, on my AMD Athalon X2 220, Ubuntu doesn't run at full speed, the processor tops out @ 800 MHZ
[13:37] <gartral> Christoper: that's a known bug.
[13:37] <Christoper> and you can tell because everything drags
[13:38] <Christoper> well how do I get around the bug?
[13:38] <Lew_> can anyone  find the error for me in this to do with my SATA HDD
[13:38] <Lew_> http://pastebin.com/hJ46cwNv
[13:38] <gartral> Christoper: theres a panel applet that lets you control trottling.
[13:38] <bedson> hi
[13:38] <ohsix> Christoper: sounds like the cpu governor stuff isn't working, or the bios tables are wrong
[13:38] <ikonia> Lew_: no error listed in there
[13:39] <Christoper> ohsix, no cuz it works fine in Windows with AMD Cool N' Quiet
[13:39] <ohsix> Christoper: that doesn't have anything to do with ubuntu or linux, however
[13:39] <kz3> how to compile a program?
[13:39] <ikonia> !compile | kz3
[13:39] <gartral> Christoper: that means your bios tables are wrong
[13:39] <kz3> i have downloaded a tar.gz file now how can i install it?
[13:39] <ohsix> Christoper: linux actually attempts to do things properly and relies on the bios information to do it, vendors often don't care when windows just does its own thing and it works anyways
[13:39] <ikonia> kz3: READ the url ubottu has just given you
[13:39] <Christoper> gartral, no it means Ubuntu and Linux aren't coded worth crap
[13:40] <Lew_> SATA mode [    3.441720] scsi3 : ahci [    3.441933] scsi4 : ahci [    3.442069] scsi5 : ahci [    3.442416] ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 irq_stat 0x00400040, connection status changed
[13:40] <ohsix> heh
[13:40] <Lew_> would that be where it stopped working
[13:40] <guampa> haha
[13:40] <tobier> what an idiot ^^
[13:40] <ponbiki> lol
[13:40] <ikonia> no need to comment, move along
[13:40] <gartral> Christoper: again, theres a throttling applet for the panel, get you head out of your prosterior and learn what's wrong with your hardware before accusing something that works fine with proper hardware of being crap
[13:41] <Lew_> ikonia would this be when it stopped working? SATA mode [    3.441720] scsi3 : ahci [    3.441933] scsi4 : ahci [    3.442069] scsi5 : ahci [    3.442416] ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 irq_stat 0x00400040, connection status changed
[13:41] <ohsix> gartral: the applet wouldn't help if the throttling modes were broke already, which it sounds like they were
[13:41] <Christoper> why did you boot me
[13:41] <ikonia> Lew_: I don't know, depends what the status was changed to
[13:41] <ikonia> Christoper: because you don't need to rant about ubuntu / linux, we can try to help you, there are bugs
[13:41] <Lew_> this sucks
[13:41] <Lew_> >.<
[13:41] <ikonia> Christoper: if you want to use another OS, just use it but don't start moaning
[13:42] <Christoper> no I WANT to use Ubuntu
[13:42] <kz3> can anyone please help me install a tar.gz file
[13:42] <Christoper> but every time I try it fails on me
[13:42] <gartral> ohsix: no, they work, but the cpu doesn't properly report it's load conditions, the throttling applet works fine
[13:42] <gartral> Christoper: then listen too the person giving you advice.
[13:42] <ohsix> gartral: if you could pick a frequency i wouldn't call that working
[13:43] <ohsix> because the governor would still be broke
[13:43] <iceroot> ikonia: i dont see a reason to kick him instead of a single bad word,the rest was ok and normal questions
[13:43] <gartral> ohsix: blam AMD for being lazy.
[13:43] <ohsix> ehm
[13:43] <ohsix> somehow i don't think they're to blame
[13:44] <ikonia> iceroot: there was more than that
[13:44] <gartral> ohsix: really they are. i've had that same problem with every Athlon/Duron cpu i've ever used
[13:44] <ohsix> gartral: uncanny, because i haven't!
[13:45] <gartral> ohsix: that is weird.
[13:45] <ohsix> that's not the adjective i'd use
[13:45] <thevishy> in ubuntu open box I am not able to see anything ...when I click obconf
[13:46] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[13:48] <gartral> anyway, i found what i consider too be a bug in 10.10: it is impossible too adjust a laptop's backlight while on battery thriugh the power preferences gui.
[13:48] <ohsix> impossible?
[13:49] <ohsix> do the key controls and other things still work
[13:49] <afeijo> hi guys, anyone using FF4 x64 that managed to install the flash plugin?
[13:49] <gartral> ohsix: no. because this laptop lacks a "proper" key control for that function.
[13:49] <ohsix> afeijo: you mean the one with ndiswrapper or the native one?
[13:50] <popey> czajkowski: /24
[13:50] <afeijo> ohsix, I'm trying with ndiswrapper and the flash plugin for 64 bits
[13:50] <popey> bah
[13:50] <afeijo> ohsix, I downloaded the file from the adobe site
[13:51] <afeijo> oops
[13:51] <gartral> ohsix: the slider under AC Power will work when the laptop is plugged in, and the setting sticks when it switches too battery power, but thee's no adjustment slider under battery power, but if i adjust the slider under ac, plug and unplug rapidly, the new value takes place and sticks
[13:52] <DexterLB> when will py3 become the default python in ubuntu?
[13:52] <AdvoWork> hi. got a bit of a query regarding a theme problem.latest version of ubuntu, and using the default theme, initially the clock didnt count/change at all. Changed this to ambiance theme(time then updates) but today turned on the PC, time was missing completely and the username is discared a little. I change to the clearlooks/default theme and right away back to the ambiance one and all is ok again. Any ideas please?
[13:52] <YankDownUnder> Solar flares.
[13:53] <iceroot> DexterLB: not before 11.10
[13:53] <coz_> AdvoWork,  that is an odd one... not sure what the is or might have been,, is it now stablelized?
[13:53] <BluesKaj> afeijo, the flashplugin-installer should install 64 bit flash if thats what your system's architecture is .
[13:53] <afeijo> BluesKaj, I'll try it
[13:55] <papagno> if I turn off bluetooth on my laptop, when I restart it's on again. How can I solve this problem?
[13:56] <YankDownUnder> papagno, Remove the service from the /etc/init.d directory (or just change it from +x to -x)
[13:57] <DexterLB> YankDownUnder: doesn't it use upstart?
[13:57] <YankDownUnder> DexterLB, Could use that as well - or just remove the service from the /etc/init.d directory - your choice.
[13:57] <papagno> YankDownUnder: thank you

[14:02] <guampa> !cn | liao
[14:02] <blackguard-> erUSUL: my problem is that i cant understund what dev and nodev does, i read everything on the web+man pages +forums+many more
[14:03] <blackguard-> erUSUL: i read about block special device and character special device, but what this 2 options does? what interpret means ?
[14:04] <erUSUL> blackguard-: i just told you what it means. if a partition is mounted nodev you can not create a dev node in that filesystem. i can say it louder but not clearer
[14:04] <blackguard-> erUSUL: dev node ?
[14:04] <epzis> hi everyone i need some help setting up my internet key, it appears that the only solution would be using usb-modeswitch since network manager doesnt work well with it (i can provide further details)
[14:05] <erUSUL> blackguard-: /dev/sda is a dev node pariculary a block device
[14:05] <erUSUL> blackguard-: everything in /dev/ is a dev node
[14:05] <gartral> blackguard-: no dev means you can't point to a /dev/thing from inside that filesystem.
[14:05] <erUSUL> blackguard-: some are block devices others are character devices
[14:05] <guampa> epzis: have you installed usb-modeswitch? what model is the internet key?
[14:06] <erUSUL> blackguard-: you can create a dev node with "mknod" mknod wont work in a nodev filesystem
[14:07] <epzis> guampa: usb-modeswitch is installed (natty's one) and if you give me one second im fetching it
[14:07] <blackguard-> i think i got it
[14:07] <epzis> guampa: k3086-z  thanks by the way for your interest
[14:07] <epzis> guampa: on usb-modeswitch site it says it works, but something is so so wrong lol, lets me set it up, lights turn on but when i click on the newly made connection it says i cant connect
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> epzis: run:   lsusb   and the 8 character hex ID will help you find guides
[14:08] <guampa> epzis: if you have it detected in network manager, then usb-modeswitch has done its job already
[14:08] <epzis> guampa: then why it doesnt connect? O_O
[14:09] <epzis> ActionParnship: what do you mean? on google?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> epzis: whichever search engine you like
[14:09] <epzis> ActionParsnip: erm...i did my research
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> epzis: ok, what is the 8 character hex ID please?
[14:10] <epzis> 19d2:1015
[14:10] <Paddy_NI> epzis: Try right clicking the modem in your file browser and ejecting it
[14:10] <jiltdil> ranjan: u der?
[14:10] <epzis> Paddy_Nl: i tried it from disk management, it even says its a cd lol (ejected both)
[14:10] <Paddy_NI> epzis: My modem used to require that I always did that
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> epzis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10490373
[14:11] <guampa> the stick is already mode-switched, otherwise it wouldn't get detected as a modem....
[14:11] <epzis> ActionParnsip: ye, he used a script called sakis3g though, id like to do without it
[14:11] <epzis> guampa: oh, then what else may be?
[14:11] <Paddy_NI> guampa: yeah but as I said mine would still not connect unless I ejected it
[14:11] <franck606> hi, i am french, where is the chanel in french language please
[14:11] <franck606> think
[14:11] <Paddy_NI> !fr
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> epzis: seems you need to add some text to a file
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> epzis: http://forum.sakis3g.org/smf/index.php?topic=272.0
[14:12] <epzis> ActionParsnip: been there done that
[14:12] <franck606> think and bye
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> epzis: does the file addition not help?
[14:12] <epzis> ActionParsnip: nope
[14:13] <guampa> epzis: try to debug what happens in the connection, what do you see in /var/log/messages ?
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> epzis: there's a wvdial.conf you could try here (bottom): http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?t=588
[14:14] <epzis> guampa:alot of stuff lol
[14:14] <epzis> guampa: nevermind fetched, do i have to use pastebin?
[14:14] <guampa> epzis: open a terminal and run "tailf /var/log/messages" , then try to connect
[14:14] <guampa> use a pastebin yes
[14:15] <epzis> guampa: http://paste.ubuntu.com/587356/
[14:16] <epzis> ActionParsnip: looking at that, does it mean i have to remove network manager? i remember wvdial asking me such stuff when i first tried
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> epzis: don't think so
[14:17] <guampa> epzis: wvdial can be installed and used alternatively to network-manager, you won't have to remove it
[14:18] <fairuz> hey, an IRC question, how to make notifications disappear? (people leaves and comes notifications)
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> fairuz:  depends on your irc client
[14:18] <fairuz> Dr_Willis: Pidgin can do that?
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> fairuz:  i think it has settings or plugins for that
[14:18] <epzis> guampa: anything i should know if wvdial fails?
[14:19] <fairuz> Dr_Willis: ok i'll search for that
[14:19] <thevishy> i installecd e16 and now I am having problems with my gnome . Seems like my gnome is not able to see a window manager properly ( i removed e16 afterwards)
[14:19] <guampa> epzis: the log says it modeswitched allright, i was thinking more the lines relative to the connection, but if you try to connect manually with wvdial you'll be able to see those too
[14:19] <SystemDefault0> fairuz: If you're using Pidgin, go to the preferences menu, search in the Conversation tab, and deactivate notifications.
[14:20] <epzis> guampa: im trying it, ill be back in abit hopefully hope you're still on
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> thevishy:  perhaps use fusion-icon to tell it to use compiz or metacity
[14:21] <soop> thevishy: enlightenment hasnt been under active devlopment for years??? if im right
[14:21] <l4ng1t> well.. can we use voice call on pidgin?
[14:21] <l4ng1t> yahoo voice call
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> soop:  a great great many years.
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> soop:  ist still in devlopment.. a constant state of development.
[14:21] <soop> dr_willis: might as well use windowmaker ... at least it had nice widgets
[14:21]  * soop swoons for slack/windowmaker ;)
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> soop:  windowmaker is nice in ways. but shows its age these days
[14:22] <fairuz> SystemDefault0: ty
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> the e17 has some very neat features. but lacking in ways
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> the 'enlightment foundation libraries' (I think thats the name) are being used by some embeded systems and other apps these days as well. so E is not dead. :)
[14:23] <ljsoftnet> l4ng1t use skype
[14:23] <l4ng1t> what about yahoo voice call?
[14:23] <ljsoftnet> l4ng1t i think voice and video chat isn't in pidgin
[14:23] <antant> Hey, when looking in pci.ids should I find my TV card in there?
[14:24] <l4ng1t> thanks ljsoftnet
[14:24] <ljsoftnet> l4ng1t yahoo voice and video chat is for yahoo messenger only
[14:24] <jiltdil> ranjan: are u here?
[14:24] <l4ng1t> i see
[14:25] <ljsoftnet> l4ng1t i dont think there's a linux version for yahoo messenger
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> theres no 'official' yahoo messanger from Yahoo. for linux any more. I think there used to be a version ages ago..
[14:25] <crazypeg> is this place for asking any kind of ubuntu related question?
[14:25] <ljsoftnet> l4ng1t you can also try google talk plugin for your internet browser firefox or chrome
[14:26] <V01> crazypeg, you are in the correct channel :)
[14:26] <sre-su> How to enable the CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG kernel configuration option?
[14:26] <V01> !topic

[14:27] <crazypeg> i have a persistent usb setup and i am trying to get it to boot inside of virtualbox
[14:27] <SystemDefault1> Back. Sorry, electric failure.
[14:28] <crazypeg> not having much luck with it as virtual box doesnt seem to see the usbs
[14:28] <crazypeg> does anyone know a good tutorial on that
[14:29] <Pici> crazypeg: The version of virtualbox in the Ubuntu repositories does not have usb enabled.  You'll need to download and isntall the deb files offered at Sun/Oracle/vbox's website.
[14:30] <thevishy> i installed fusion icon how to u se it DrW
[14:30] <crazypeg> what are the files called ?
[14:30] <_W_> How can I get compose key to let triple period (...) turn into an ellipsis (…)? When I try it with my Norwegian keyboard layout, compose then two periods turn into abovedot (˙) without any way to add a third dot for a different glyph
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> sre-su:  hmm?
[14:31] <_W_> I can find no /usr/share/X11/locale/no*/Compose files, or even any /usr/share/X11/locale/no* directory at all on my system, could this be a cause?
[14:31] <guampa> sre-su: ask in ##linux
[14:32] <thevishy> Dr_Willis, how do I use fusion-con and how to specify it to use Compiz
[14:32] <thevishy> apparently no window manager is not confiured with my gnome now
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> thevishy:  install 'fusion-icon' and run it. and use its menus.
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> sre-su:  about ready to leave to head to the dr's office.  Be back laters.
[14:32] <judgen> What graphics chips gets the best performance with framebuffer and also offers KMS? and wich driver should i use with it? I am going to buy a new computer soon.
[14:33] <sre-su> Dr_Willis: cya
[14:33] <thevishy> Dr_Willis, so each time I login I have to run fusion-icon , is there a way to make the system use metacity ?
[14:33] <thevishy> like cofigure the gnome to use a window manager - is that possible ?
[14:33] <LiquidDemocracy> Does anybody know where to edit an email signature in Evolution?
[14:34] <guampa> judgen: i don't know of other cards, here a humble radeon 4250 runs fine with fbcon and KMS, latest kernel and xorg/gallium, you can ask also in ##linux
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> thevishy:  run it,. set it.. it may rember.
[14:35] <SystemDefault1> LiquidDemocracy: This might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1236195

[14:36] <thevishy> ok
[14:37] <nwg\jenka> Anybody in here who can help me to set up a vhost for psybnc .. Have tried to add a PTR record, but failed to make it to work :(
[14:37] <SystemDefault1> People, gotta go. Take care and have a nice day/night.
[14:38] <judgen> guampa, i have no intention of running Xorg. But that is good to know.
[14:39] <judgen> I just want decent speeds in CLI when watching videos with cvlc or mplayer.
[14:39] <sagarchalise> hi, any chance I can add indicator-datetime without indicator-applet-complete ?
[14:40] <judgen> sagarchalise yes, download the .deb files and extract them, then do a manual install of the files you want. Pretty simple.
[14:41] <sagarchalise> judgen: basically I did that, I want to know how I could activate indicator-datetime
[14:43] <guampa> judgen: a full screen flv with cvlc is running just fine, hadn't tested it before :D
[14:43] <guampa> do you know how to measure fps with cvlc?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> guampa: try: vlc --help

[14:49] <insanity99> hey guys, how can i make evolution be open but in the top panel
[14:50] <alessandro_> Ciao
[14:53] <rypervenche> I am following a guide to install the Linksys WUSB300N driver, but it keeps freezing when I plug it in to my computer. I got this to work on my old Ubuntu computer. Does anyone have any insight?
[14:54] <LiquidDemocracy> Is there other software with which one can make calls from PC to PC besides skype?
[14:58] <mbeierl> LiquidDemocracy: ekiga
[14:58] <airtonix> insanity99: explain again in greater detail.
[14:58] <airtonix> insanity99: define "top panel"
[14:58] <airtonix> LiquidDemocracy: plenty.
[14:58] <insanity99> well i want evolution to be open, but in what windows calls the system tray
[14:59] <mbeierl> LiquidDemocracy: http://ekiga.org/ also available in the repos
[14:59] <insanity99> im pretty sure i've seen it do this before
[14:59] <airtonix> insanity99: the "Me Menu"
[15:00] <insanity99> i dont see evolution there
[15:00] <airtonix> insanity99: make sure your panel has the "indicator applet" in it. it should present an envelope icon
[15:01] <eveningsky|2> trying to install a tomboy plugin. Success with download, tar, make. The folder now has env.sh, wordcount.dll, wordcount.dll.mdb, and some text files. I try install, it says "install: missing file operand" How do I procede?
[15:01] <mix22891> hello
[15:01] <jona___________s> hi wheres the traditionally correct location to store websites? /srv/www?
[15:01] <mix22891> i can't see Hebrew Fonts in Google-Talk program, what do i do?
[15:02] <airtonix> jona___________s: on debian it's /var/www
[15:02] <LjL> jona___________s: well *traditionally*, it's really /var/www... but /srv/-something is probably more appropriate according to the latest standards
[15:02] <insanity99> yes that worked thanks
[15:02] <eveningsky|2> jona___________s: most of the professional webhosts put it in /var/www/
[15:03] <jona___________s> eveningsky|2: LjL ok
[15:03] <jona___________s> will use /var
[15:03] <mcb_2> jona___________s: most people don't change de default values.... LOL
[15:03] <airtonix> jona___________s: however you can (and should) modify the virtualhosts defs in /etc/apache2/sites-available/* to put indivdiual namedbased virtual hots in /var/www/<name>/public_html/
[15:03] <jona___________s> airtonix: should the default site be disabled?
[15:03] <rypervenche> I am following a guide to install the Linksys WUSB300N driver, but it keeps freezing when I plug it in to my computer. I got this to work on my old Ubuntu computer. Does anyone have any insight?
[15:04] <airtonix> jona___________s: i do yes. but i also just redirect it to /var/www/default/public_html/
[15:04] <jona___________s> airtonix: where does default go by default?
[15:04] <jona___________s> :P
[15:04] <airtonix> jona___________s: remember for local dev purposes you can make use of avahi cnames to provide subdomains of something.hostname.local
[15:05] <airtonix> jona___________s: it goes to /var/www by default
[15:05] <jona___________s> this is for a business site.. but may also host my personal site on it in the future
[15:05] <mix22891> in google-talk my fonts gos not normaly
[15:05] <jona___________s> airtonix: so that default "hello" or whatever message people see.. comes from /var/www?
[15:05] <airtonix> jona___________s: i would think about segregation then
[15:05] <airtonix> jona___________s: yes
[15:05] <jona___________s> what file is it
[15:06] <airtonix> jona___________s: typically the default document is index.html
[15:06] <jona___________s> so after installing apache2... that creates a /var/www/index.html?
[15:06] <jona___________s> with that default message
[15:06] <mix22891> please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[15:06] <airtonix> jona___________s: yes
[15:06] <Zealous> Hey what up
[15:07] <mix22891> :) cool
[15:07] <jona___________s> airtonix: in the sites-available/default file... is all that stuff neccasary?
[15:07] <mix22891> linux in my hart
[15:07] <jona___________s> should i use it when creating my own?
[15:07] <jona___________s> its a hell of a lotta stuff
[15:07] <mix22891> linux is my child
[15:07] <eveningsky|2> how do I access a locally served website from another computer on the same network?
[15:07] <jona___________s> eveningsky|2: enter the ip address
[15:08] <airtonix> jona___________s: the point of separating it from http.conf is to make disabling and enabling virtualhosts easier. so yes it is required for sane website operations.
[15:08] <Zealous> i just removed windows today and threw linix on the HD, been a good day :P
[15:08] <jona___________s> eveningsky|2: <IP_ADDRESS>:8080 or whatever
[15:08] <mix22891> i just pring alot pinguins
[15:08] <mix22891> haha
[15:08] <mix22891> in my printer
[15:08] <eveningsky|2> I put the local ip of the computer. it just sits there.
[15:08] <jona___________s> airtonix: i mean.. in the default file... it has all them options???
[15:08] <jona___________s> airtonix: those should be kept for the default? always?
[15:08] <eveningsky|2> says "connecting to" indefinitely
[15:08] <joe_9> Anyone know why Brasero is indicating that my CDRW only has 8.1MB of free space? I've tried multiple CDRWs and they all indicate there is 8.1MB available.
[15:08] <airtonix> eveningsky|2: make sure the computer serving the site has port 80 open : sudo ufw allow in on eth0 to any port 80
[15:08] <abdi> I'm sorry that I disturb you, but I want to know whether there are also German speaking gint chats and if not then where
[15:09] <jona___________s> !de
[15:09] <eveningsky|2> it does. I can access it through anonymouse.org
[15:09] <airtonix> jona___________s: i think you really need to research how to setup apache virtualhosts properly.
[15:09] <mix22891> i can't see Hebrew Fonts in Google-Talk program, what do i do?
[15:09] <jona___________s> airtonix: can you just tell me if the options in sites-available/default are required?
[15:09] <Zealous> Learn English
[15:09] <mix22891> who?
[15:09] <airtonix> jona___________s: they are required.
[15:10] <jiffe98> anyone have a problem with ubuntu server not getting past the grub menu after it is shut down improperly?
[15:10] <pumeust> i want to download software and there is tar.gz, tar.gz.sig, tar.lz, tar.lz.sig...does it matter which i download?
[15:10] <Zealous> do you know how to extract it
[15:10] <mix22891> helllllo
[15:10] <Zealous> Hey Mix
[15:10] <mix22891> please! do ignore meee
[15:10] <mix22891> din't*
[15:10] <airtonix> ok
[15:10] <mix22891> don't
[15:11] <LjL> pumeust: .sig sounds like some kind of signature... get the .tar.gz, i don't know what format .tar.lz is
[15:11] <airtonix> !repeat
[15:11] <Zealous> Put your hand up then
[15:11] <eveningsky|2> pumeust: somebody went a little over the top with zipping options
[15:11] <LjL> pumeust: however, i just want to mention, are you sure the software is not available as an Ubuntu package instead?
[15:11] <jona___________s> airtonix: if i change the DocumentRoot to "/var/www/default" should I then also change the line starting: <Directory /var/www/> to <Directory /var/www/default>?
[15:11] <mix22891> CAN ANY BODY HELP ME?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[15:11] <mix22891> come on
[15:11] <Zealous> mix google it
[15:11] <mix22891> no
[15:11] <pumeust> LjL, no i'm not sure...its ddrescue, i'll check
[15:12] <Pici> !google | Zealous
[15:12] <IdleOne> !patience | mix22891
[15:12] <mix22891> i see
[15:12] <Zealous> ubotto got ya

[15:12] <mika__> hi, is there a way to auto detect the encoding of a text file with iconv in order to automatically convert all files of different encoding to utf8? from the iconv's man page the from is required :(
[15:12] <LjL> !info ddrescue | pumeust, you can just install it from Synaptic or using "sudo apt-get install ddrescue"
[15:12] <lixinfish> hello, I "fdisk -l" to check my disks and see the raid 1 disk with "Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes" and the other disks with "Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes", is it normal?
[15:12] <Zealous> i love that google-fu
[15:12] <airtonix> jona___________s: yes, you also need to make that directory and it then also needs to be chowned to www-data user and group.
[15:13] <jona___________s> airtonix: "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/default"?
[15:13] <pumeust> LjL, cool, thanks for letting me know
[15:13] <airtonix> jona___________s: yep, don't forget to use sudo if you're not already using the root account.
[15:14] <eveningsky|2> i've been googling my wifi problem all day, and got nothing.
[15:14] <jona___________s> airtonix: restart or reload?
[15:14] <jona___________s> not really sure what requires what
[15:14] <jona___________s> :P
[15:14] <airtonix> jona___________s: you might also find it useful to add yourself to the www-data group. although some people might think this is bad.
[15:14] <airtonix> jona___________s: sudo service apache2 restart
[15:14] <jona___________s> airtonix: why service over /etc/init.d?
[15:14] <jona___________s> is it the same?
[15:15] <pumeust> i just recovered bunch of files with photorec but the disk has bad a few bad sectors so i thought i'd use ddrescue also just in case
[15:15] <airtonix> jona___________s: slightly but no. the /etc/init.d method won't always be around.
[15:15] <j0n5ch> does anybody know where i can find some good (video) tutorials for pyopengl?
[15:15] <eveningsky|2> both network-manager and wcid claim to connect with 100% service, but I get no internet. anybody got any ideas?
[15:16] <WildRaubtier> hey guys, does anyone here have any know-how on connecting with a usb modem for wireless internet?
[15:16] <airtonix> j0n5ch: maybe you should ask in #python
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> eveningsky|2: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> when you are connected to the wireless?
[15:16] <j0n5ch> airtonix: I'm still kind of new to the whole IRC thing so I'll be sure to do that. Thanks
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> WildRaubtier: run:  lsusb    use the 8 character hex id to find guids
[15:17] <Pici> j0n5ch: you'll need to register before you can join #python
[15:17] <eveningsky|2> anything I try pings once and then freezes
[15:17] <Pici> !register | j0n5ch
[15:17] <An_Ony_Moose_> is there a less resource-hungry desktop/window manager setup than the standard GNOME setup or the unity? Is xfce any more efficient?
[15:17] <eveningsky|2> 84 bytes of data
[15:18] <airtonix> j0n5ch: unfortunately pygtk doesn't really have a presence here on freenode, but pyside (a fork of pyqt) does, pygtk lives on the gnome irc servers.
[15:18] <switch10_> An_Ony_Moose_: xfce is pretty good.
[15:18] <eveningsky|2> including trying to ping my router
[15:18] <WildRaubtier> I've tried a lot of guides but they're either outdated or confusing :S
[15:18] <xamox> What editor do people here use in linux?  I want Xdebug support but I don't want something java based (eclipse, netbeans, etc) nor do I really want to use VIM.  Any native GTK based editor/sdk that supports PHP & xdebug would be awesome.
[15:19] <An_Ony_Moose_> switch10_, I'll try it out, thanks. I have an old asus eee pc (the oldest model actually I think) and it just isn't powerful enough for unity
[15:19] <eveningsky|2> ActionParsnip: ooh! ooh! I just got another 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>\
[15:20] <switch10_> An_Ony_Moose_: xfce is lightweight and still looks pretty good too.  gtk apps work well with it too.
[15:20] <jlh2206> I need to build an emergency reboot command for when a server becomes read only. It needs to supply the password for a sudo users in one command line.
[15:20] <jlh2206> The reboot command pipes "b" to sysrq-trigger but prompts for a password:  echo b | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
[15:20] <jlh2206> I know I can pipe the password to sudo via this command:  echo password | sudo -S command
[15:20] <An_Ony_Moose_> ok thanks switch10_ . Can you suggest a browser? I currently use either chromium or w3m, depending on whether I need graphics.
[15:20] <jlh2206> These do not work: echo password | echo b | sudo -S tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
[15:20] <FloodBot3> jlh2206: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:20] <dyd> hi all
[15:21] <switch10_> An_Ony_Moose_: I use chromium on a GUI.  links2 for non GUI stuff.
[15:21] <dyd> i'm using wireshark but i only see some kind of packets
[15:21] <pumeust> in synaptics i see ddrescue and gddrescue...is one better than the other?
[15:21] <dyd> if i'm connected to a switch is wireshark useless?
[15:21] <An_Ony_Moose_> switch10_, ok, so I'll just continue using chromium. I'm quite happy with w3m. Thanks for the suggestions :)
[15:22] <mix22891> what
[15:22] <mix22891> whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
[15:22] <ayecee> pumeust: gddrescue is probably the one you want
[15:22] <switch10_> pumeust: gddrescue is probably is the GUI version
[15:22] <ayecee> dyd: not at all, it'll just only show packets you actually receive.
[15:22] <pumeust> ayecee funny i did google on gddrescue and i dont see nothing
[15:23] <ayecee> pumeust: gddrescue is the gnu version.
[15:23] <ayecee> switch10_: no gui
[15:23] <switch10_> ahh
[15:23] <genii-around> pumeust: It's just a graphical front end to ddrescue
[15:23] <pumeust> ohh
[15:23] <ayecee> genii-around: nope, it's not.
[15:23] <beautifulmind> I have been facing this issue from the very fist day in intalled ubuntu. I'm not able to connect to certain site. I had even tried google public DNS but no help
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> eveningsky|2: nice, tried rebooting your router then reconnecting?
[15:23] <thevishy> i played around with my X by installling e16 and then removing it ....now Ubuntu Desktop doesnt load with Metacity anymore though a command like Metcity in terminal works
[15:23] <beautifulmind> what should I do
[15:23] <thevishy> how do I configure all these things?
[15:23] <eveningsky|2> yeah
[15:23] <dyd> ayecee: yes, i was reading on wiki differences between switch / hub... too bad i wanted to spy my university activities :)
[15:24] <thevishy> a command like choosewm doesnt even display Metacity
[15:24] <eveningsky|2> ActionParsnip: yeah.
[15:24] <dyd> ayecee: can i fake my mac address to be like the "victim" mac address and receive the same data he receives?
[15:24] <genii-around> ayecee: Apologies then. Usually the ones that start with g like gparted and so on are the gui versions
[15:25] <thevishy> how do I reinstall a package like Ubuntu Desktop ?
[15:25] <thevishy> it seems few settings got botched uop
[15:25] <thevishy> up*
[15:25] <CMatomic>  can anyone  access the forum ubuntu BR  and see if you can access http://www.ubuntuforum-pt.org/
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> thevishy: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[15:25] <thevishy> nishant@thegladiator:~$ gnome-wm
[15:25] <thevishy> exec: 182: e16: not found
[15:26] <CMatomic>  can anyone  access the forum ubuntu BR  and see if you can access http://www.ubuntuforum-pt.org/
[15:26] <thevishy> I did that , but ActionParsnip it seems that gnome-wm etc is botched up
[15:26] <thevishy> it tries to upon e16 which I removed
[15:26] <ayecee> dyd: not really, no
[15:26] <tjiggi_fo> CMatomic, it's down for me too
[15:26] <beautifulmind> any one? please?
[15:26] <ayecee> dyd: the switch will still only send the packets to one port.
[15:27] <ayecee> for the most part
[15:27] <CMatomic> ok thanks tjiggi_fo
[15:27] <tjiggi_fo> beautifulmind, what's the site?
[15:27] <beautifulmind> drupal.org
[15:27] <dyd> ayecee: i'm checking out arp poisoning... seems quite hard to do
[15:28] <JGJones> Greetings
[15:28] <ayecee> dyd: maybe, but I don't think it's appropriate to this forum :(
[15:29] <JGJones> I'm attempting to compile OPAL libraries (for Ekiga) to include H.263/H264 support however I'm not succeeding with the task as it ends in an error when I try to make - pastebin here - http://pastebin.com/rpC44ayf
[15:29] <tjiggi_fo> beautifulmind, works for me on firefox 3.x
[15:29] <beautifulmind> tjiggi_fo: yeah I have problem with all the browsers
[15:29] <dyd> ayecee: ;) ok!
[15:29] <beautifulmind> is there a setting that I can configure
[15:29] <joe_9> Is it true that Brasero is one big huge fail?
[15:30] <Kumm> Hi, I've recently installed Ubuntu and can't get the audio to work correctly. I can play things and hear it through my speakers, but after a some seconds of playing (about 10-30, sometimes more) the sound mutes. I open the sound settings and try to unmute it, but as soon as I do, it mutes itself again. It doesn't matter whether I play through VLC, Rhythmbox or YouTube, the same thing happens...
[15:30] <Kumm> ...regardless.
[15:30] <ayecee> joe_9: no
[15:30] <switch10_> joe_9: no.  I use it almost everyday.
[15:30] <joe_9> It detects my CDRWs as having 8.1MB free and has turned out two bad discs. How can I trouble shoot this issue?
[15:31] <takeshi> Hi
[15:31] <switch10_> joe_9: burn at a lower speed.
[15:31] <Kumm> I'm using the motherboard: Asus M4N68T V2. Playing audio in my Windows 7 install works perfectly.
[15:31] <tjiggi_fo> beautifulmind, if there is it'll be in the preferences menu of the browser, or, if you have a firewall running it'll be disallowed in the rules
[15:31] <whiteside> boonjour tout le monde, j ai besoin d aide avec mon reseau wifi interne et usb, j aimerais savoir si qqun peut m aider svp...merci
[15:31] <beautifulmind> tjiggi_fo: how can I add an exception to firewall?
[15:31] <takeshi> Guys, someone knows why rhythmbox isnt using multimedia keys after a reinstall?
[15:31] <beautifulmind> if I do with network tools it can reach to the site but not with the browser
[15:31] <beautifulmind> and the issue is with all the browsers
[15:31] <genii-around> !fr | whiteside
[15:32] <whiteside> ok no prob
[15:32] <takeshi> also isnt minimizing or closing to System tray :/
[15:33] <LiquidDemocracy> How can we install the latest version of Skype?
[15:33] <LiquidDemocracy> Skype only has packages for Ubuntu 8.10? http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/post-download/
[15:33] <JeffJassky> Hmm.. Now i've got an htaccess redirect question.. i'm trying to redirect http://samedomain.com/path/to/dir to http://samedomain.com/index.php?path=/path/to/dir. I tried RewriteRule ^/([^/]+) index.php?path=$1 [NC,L] but it doesn't seem to be working. i'm rather new to htaccess.
[15:33] <tjiggi_fo> beautifulmind, I'm going to be no help at all with firewall, but first thing to do is find out if you haver one running - default in ubuntu is UFW - open a terminal and "man ufw" to see how to find out
[15:34] <genii-around> LiquidDemocracy: Add the "partner" repository. Some details here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[15:34] <whiteside> so i need help with my wifi onboard and usb.....cant connect with my usb and cant close my onboarb....my onboard as the name eth0 instead of wlan0...wy ??
[15:34] <beautifulmind> tjiggi_fo: okay no problem
[15:35] <switch10_> whiteside: you want to use USB instead of onboard?
[15:35] <whiteside> yes......
[15:35] <switch10_> whiteside: sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[15:35] <whiteside> already try that
[15:35] <whiteside> not working
[15:35] <ascheel> Is there an easy way to play audio in Ubuntu Server?  I would like the simple ability to play an audio file at the command line and have it spit out on the server's speakers.
[15:36] <whiteside> still up
[15:36] <whiteside> i am on a laptop
[15:36] <switch10_> whiteside: are you getting an error?
[15:37] <whiteside> no.....my usb just dont want to connect....but i see every wire
[15:37] <adi11> hi all. i have a 2005 desktop. no boot from usb and the cd drive is missing. how can i install ubuntu?
[15:38] <switch10_>  adi11 net install?
[15:38] <ascheel> adi11: ummm...  you can't?
[15:38] <adi11> is there any way to do it with VM
[15:38] <strigoi66> ascheel: try http://ubuntu-for-humans.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-play-mp3s-from-terminal-on.html
[15:38] <whiteside> every on air network is ther...i have 2 panel..1 for onboard and 1 for usb
[15:38] <ascheel> adi11: yeah switch10_ has the idea.  net install
[15:38] <adi11> or over the internet
[15:38] <Pici> adi11: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[15:38] <Billbawb> adi11: I had a floppy image that would aloow a boot from usb, looking to see if i can find it
[15:39] <ascheel> strigoi66: Thank you.  :)
[15:39] <adi11> thanks :)
[15:39] <ascheel> strigoi66: not sure it will work without X but I'll try
[15:39] <strigoi66> ascheel: no problem
[15:39] <adi11> how does this netinstall works?
[15:39] <adi11> in few words :)
[15:39] <switch10_>  adi11 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[15:40] <adi11> swith10 | thanks
[15:40] <mix22891> it's about an hour and i didn't got help- what is going here??????//
[15:40] <mix22891> goin on
[15:40] <mix22891> *
[15:40] <strigoi66> mix22891: What is the question?
[15:40] <Pici> mix22891: You haven't asked your question in over an hour.
[15:40] <sipior> mix22891: consider reformulating your question.
[15:40] <mix22891> i can't see Hebrew Fonts in Google-Talk program, what do i do?
[15:41] <mix22891> i see the fonts -but there is a mass
[15:41] <IdleOne> www.google.com/support/forum/p/Talk
[15:42] <switch10_> mix22891: yeah that sounds like a google talk issue, sorry.
[15:42] <JeffJassky> how can I write a RewriteCondition to ignore a certain file
[15:43] <Billbawb> adi11: The tool i have is called "Plop Boot Manager"
[15:43] <adi11> Billbawb what it does?
[15:43] <mix22891> IdleOne> nothing there
[15:44] <adi11> the bios i have does not have the option "boot from usb"
[15:44] <Billbawb> adi11: You boot it from the floppy, then use it to boot the usb
[15:44] <IdleOne> mix22891: you didn't search the forum or bother to post a question
[15:44] <ascheel> strigoi66: looks like I'll have to install a full blown desktop to get audio to work on server.  No biggie
[15:44] <adi11> you mean the floppy diskette?
[15:44] <switch10_> Billbawb: nice.  good find.
[15:44] <dyd> is there a channel dedicated to network spoofing and stuffs like that?
[15:45] <adi11> Billbawb the diskette its missing eather.
[15:45] <Pici> dyd: ##security or ##networking would be your best bet
[15:45] <dyd> Pici: thank you
[15:45] <strigoi66> ascheel: sorry about that it looked as if you would be able to use without desktop?
[15:45] <Billbawb> adi11: you boot the floppy, then you are presented with mediums to boot from, including usb even on computers without integrated usb boot support
[15:45] <strigoi66> ascheel: what version are you running
[15:46] <adi11> i dont have a floppy cd drive and the bios dont have option to boot from usb
[15:46] <ascheel> strigoi66: Lucid LTS
[15:46] <ascheel> strigoi66: I'm not too worried about it.  Server is beefy enough, so gdm isn't going to put any real load on it.  It will also leave me with being able to use mplayer which I'm most familiar with anyhow.
[15:47] <adi11> cd drive is missing. floppy disk is missing, and no boot from usb.
[15:47] <Billbawb> adi11: oh, you don't have something like a 3.5 inch diskette drive, if not my mistake
[15:47] <pensfan> i'm adding network cards to my vm but they're not registering.  not showing in dmesg, not showing in /dev/net
[15:47] <adi11> Billbawb no.
[15:47] <pensfan> any help?
[15:47] <strigoi66> ascheel: I would have to agree, as I am running same version on a 98 compaq platform with 1gz proc and 786mb ram.
[15:47] <jlh2206> Need to run this without having to put in the password:   echo b | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger.  Piping the password to sudo does not work: echo password | echo b | sudo -S tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
[15:48] <DirtyDawg> adi11: what Os are you running now?
[15:48] <ascheel> strigoi66: haha, even more support for the option.  This is actually a VM with server running.  1 GB RAM, 2.6 GHz CPU
[15:48] <adi11> the only thing i have is hdd, cpu, ram, integrated sis motherboard with 32 mb ram of graphics. im runing 9.10
[15:48] <niko> >!$
[15:48] <ascheel> strigoi66: thanks for the time.  :)  I appreciate the attempted help!
[15:49] <ascheel> strigoi66: correction, it was actually valuable help.
[15:49] <strigoi66> ascheel: not a problem.
[15:49] <ruan> how do i run a program in its current working directory?
[15:49] <ruan> from a shortcut
[15:50] <soop> ruan: what are you trying to accomplish?
[15:50] <adi11> i was thinking if i can install 10.10 from VM
[15:50] <cfedde> ruan: I'm not sure exactly what you mean.  A program is free to cd to any directory it chooses.
[15:50] <ruan> soop: running a game from wine
[15:50] <adi11> runing VM from xp
[15:50] <ruan> the game reports an error that one of its files are missing
[15:50] <ruan> if i run it from a shortcut
[15:50] <switch10_> adill cant you just do an upgrade?
[15:50] <jsebean> hello
[15:50] <soop> ruan: it should generally just work, but you can just create a launcher to the .exe file .... the .lnk files that windows creates won't work
[15:50] <adi11> this desktop have both XP and 9.10
[15:51] <ruan> i've tried a launcher, didnt work
[15:51] <ascheel> !hi | jsebean
[15:51] <ruan> hi was deleted
[15:51] <soop> ruan: what about under applications/wine/programs in the menu system
[15:51] <ruan> soop: it wasn't installed, its a portable game
[15:51] <soop> ruan: aaaah
[15:51] <soop> if you rin it in a console it jsut works?
[15:51] <pensfan> i'm adding network cards to my vm but they're not registering.  not showing in dmesg, not showing in /dev/net, any help?
[15:52] <ruan> console will work
[15:52] <jsebean> i installed ubuntu 10.10 after installing Windows 7. Ubuntu is on a different partiton. Now after I reboot, the computer goes dirctly to ubuntu and doesnt allow me to choose windows or ubuntu. i can access my windows partition on ubuntu but it wont boot. Any ideas?
[15:52] <ruan> jsebean: what happens if you run: sudo update-grub
[15:52] <soop> jsebean: edit your grub configs
[15:52] <switch10_> jsebean: sudo update-grub
[15:52] <jatt> jelaw
[15:52] <ruan> jsebean: does it detect windows if you run that command?
[15:53] <jsebean> update grub finds linux and mem test but doesnt show windows
[15:53] <ruan> jsebean: does boot.ini exist on the windows partition?
[15:53] <jsebean> one sec...
[15:53] <ruan> grub looks for boot.ini
[15:53] <switch10_> jsebean: what is the output of sudo fdisk -l
[15:53] <adi11> ok thank you guys. i think i will tell the owner to throw this away :)
[15:54] <jsebean> afraid not
[15:54] <ruan> eg. this is my boot.ini and it shows windows as its name in boot.ini
[15:54] <switch10_> adill or spend 20 $ on a cd drive.
[15:54] <ruan> multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Deleted Windows" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
[15:54] <adi11> good idea
[15:54] <jsebean> can i put in a boot.ini?
[15:54] <ruan> shows on grub update as "deleted windows'
[15:54] <adi11> :)
[15:55] <ruan> you can, but im not sure about the format
[15:55] <ruan> and if its still used in win7
[15:55] <jsebean> ok
[15:55] <ruan> i'll google around
[15:56] <Jordan_U> jsebean: If "sudo os-prober" doesn't list your Windows install then your Windows install is almost certainly broken (as file critical for booting do not exist).
[15:56] <ruan>     Windows Vista/7 doesn't use boot.ini. You have to repair your boot sector so that it loads Windows 7's bootmgr instead of Windows XP's ntldr. I don't really know how to do that, though. It involves the Windows 7 DVD.
[15:57] <ruan> that was a dual boot situation with xp and 7
[15:57] <jsebean> if i want windows back ill backup and reinstall
[15:57] <ruan> dont mind the rest, shouldnt have pasted that
[15:57] <jsebean> thanks
[15:57] <jsebean> lol well i can get my files
[15:57] <AaronMic> I'm about as retarded as they come. when's 11.04 come out?
[15:57] <Pici> !11.04 | AaronMic
[15:58] <Pici> AaronMic: Ubuntu release numbers are the YEAR.MONTH of release. and we typically release at the end of the month.
[15:58] <AaronMic> ok thanks a bunch.
[15:58] <ruan> yep, and every 6 years
[15:58] <Pici> ruan: 6 Months.
[15:58] <ruan> months
[15:58] <ruan> gahh i think im still sleepy
[15:59] <dcsupport> Is there some way to disable persistent net rules?  I've got a 10.10 server vm that I changed from NAT to Bridged and I cannot get it to stop looking for the old eth0 NAT setup
[15:59] <zamba> dcsupport: hm? the host itself?
[16:00] <ManDay> Sirs
[16:00] <ManDay> Where is a list of kernel-args that are relevant to the ubuntu live thing
[16:01] <dcsupport> it's a guest on another ubuntu server host in virtualbox
[16:01] <dryicebomb> dcsupport: is this a virtual server?
[16:01] <dcsupport> yes. it's a 10.10 server vm guest
[16:01] <dryicebomb> dcsupport: rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules then reboot
[16:02] <Jordan_U> ManDay: /boot/grub/loopback.cfg is probably the easiest way to find them, and http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F the easiest way to loop boot an Ubuntu iso with grub2.
[16:02] <neil_d> is there a way to run the shutdown command in a terminal without it trying up the terminal (i.e. in the background)
[16:02] <ruan> sudo rm^
[16:02] <dcsupport> I changed the NIC vm settings from NAT to Bridged - when that happened it changed the MAC as well...
[16:02] <mefrio> is there a mode to move the firefox 4's home button to left?
[16:02] <ruan> mefrio: yes
[16:03] <mefrio> ruan how can I do it?
[16:03] <ruan> mefrio: right click the bar, and customize
[16:03] <mefrio> ruan thank you
[16:03] <ruan> lets you move all the buttons
[16:03] <ruan> mefrio: np
[16:04] <Jordan_U> ManDay: Any particular reason you're using grub legacy rather than grub2? Using grub2 simplifies this type of thing greatly.
[16:04] <Poisonfibre> i cant log into my open ssh server on ubuntu, ive set the Port number, could my router be blocking my ssh server, cause i cant connect via Putty on my laptop
[16:04] <switch10_> neil_d: with a delay?  as in sudo shutdown -h 23:00?
[16:04] <pensfan> anyone know why a vsphere guest isn't detecting ethernet cards?
[16:04] <ruan> Poisonfibre: have you setup port forwarding?
[16:04] <ruan> Poisonfibre: and what is the error? connection refused?
[16:04] <Joiweq> hi everyone, im required to use emu8086 for a project but i dont actually have a windows copy, is there any ubuntu alternative for that program? (besides using it on wine)
[16:05] <switch10_> neil_d: because you can just use poweroff as well.
[16:05] <Poisonfibre> yea and inactive
[16:05] <neil_d> switch10_: yes...
[16:05] <Poisonfibre> ruan: what do you reckon the problem is
[16:05] <ayecee> pensfan: no, maybe you could sing a couple of bars of it?
[16:05] <ruan> Poisonfibre: is NAT configured correctly?
[16:05] <neil_d> switch10_: poweroff doesn't return ether.
[16:06] <adi11> hi again. i am back cause i got an idea. i have a nokia phone with a 4 gb microsd card and a usb cable. do you think if i put the iso on the phones card and boot from the card will start the install ubuntu?? thats crazy right :):)
[16:06] <pensfan> ayecee, wtf?
[16:06] <Poisonfibre> where would i configure it, on my router or...
[16:06] <ruan> Poisonfibre: router, yea
[16:06] <Poisonfibre> checking
[16:06] <tw3333> hi guys
[16:06] <switch10_> adill you cant boot from usb.
[16:06] <ayecee> pensfan: silly question gets silly answer. Perhaps you could describe what you're seeing in more detail.
[16:06] <Joiweq> hi everyone, im required to use emu8086 for a project but i dont actually have a windows copy, is there any ubuntu alternative for that program? (besides using it on wine)
[16:06] <tw3333> does anyone use set editing-mode vi?
[16:07] <ayecee> pensfan: you might say whether this worked in the past, when it stopped working, and what happens when you try to make it work.
[16:07] <neil_d> Joiweq: have you tried wine?
[16:07] <Poisonfibre> It doesnt provide a NAT Option
[16:07] <pensfan> ayecee, your answer didn't make any sense in any context even if humourous
[16:07] <strigoi66> Joiweq:have you looked through synaptic
[16:07] <genii-around> Joiweq: It runs under wine
[16:07] <Joiweq> neil_d: lol, i said "besides using it on wine" so yes i tried wine
[16:07] <tw3333> set editing-mode vi, does that mean anything to anyone?
[16:07] <ruan> Poisonfibre: hmm.
[16:07] <ayecee> pensfan: I'm sorry if the joke went over your head.
[16:07] <adi11> switch10_ | the bios  has no usb boot capability but it says on the pdf sheet of the pc that bios is capable of booting from external drive
[16:08] <Joiweq> strigoi66: i may, but look for what?
[16:08] <dyd> bb
[16:08] <neil_d> Joiweq: oh!
[16:08] <adi11> switch10_ if i could make bios think that the nokia phone card is a external hdd
[16:08] <adi11> what do you think?
[16:08] <switch10_> adill thats all a usb stick is, an external drive.
[16:08] <tw3333> ..
[16:08] <switch10_> adill totally possible.
[16:08] <pensfan> ayecee, please explain
[16:09] <ruan> Poisonfibre: you can try in #linux perhaps
[16:09] <Poisonfibre> alrighty, thanks mate
[16:09] <adi11> wait i will copy paste the pdf about bios capabilities.. 2 sec...

[16:09] <amber849> Hello, Im a junior Linux admin and Ive been using ubuntu for the last 6 months. Could someone please tell me what the Centos equivalence to apt-get -s upgrade? I dont want to download any untesed packages or Kernal updates.I've been Googling all morning but i just want to be 100% sure.
[16:09] <ChrisGagnon_> Joiweq: try freedos http://www.freedos.org/
[16:09] <Guest20958> is that possible syncronize lucid 10.04 to oneconf ?!
[16:09] <neil_d> is there a way to run the shutdown command in a terminal without it trying up the terminal (i.e. in the background)
[16:09] <dcsupport> dryicebomb: thanks for the help - I had renamed the file and rebooted but apparently that wasn't enough - seems good now.
 anyone know why a vsphere guest isn't detecting ethernet cards? <ayecee> pensfan: no, maybe you could sing a couple of bars of it?
[16:10] <crlcan81> I just found out super+n inverts your current window's colors, is there a system wide one, because I think I hit that while typing, because other parts of my screen besides the windows I had open at the time are still inversed.
[16:10] <Joiweq> ChrisGagnon_ : erm, is freedos an asm emulator?
[16:10] <strigoi66> Joiweq: Check here http://pcemu.sourceforge.net/  and see if that will work for you.
[16:10] <crlcan81> like my panels/conky/system tray
[16:10] <Joiweq> strigoi66: thank you

[16:10] <Joiweq> strigoi66: nothing in repos though?
[16:11] <switch10_> neil_d: check the man pages to see if there is a quiet mode.
[16:11] <strigoi66> Joiweq: no problem!
[16:11] <pensfan> ayecee, nothing?  that's what i thought
[16:11] <neil_d> switch10_: nope!

[16:11] <IdleOne> amber849: #centos would be a better place to ask
[16:12] <Media_mobile> Hey all, I keep getting a disk write error when trying to install 10.10 from live. What's the probability of my hard drive being.cause of the fault vs a faulty ISO or bad read?
[16:12] <amber849> i've tried centos
[16:12] <switch10_> adill looks to me like you can boot from USB.  have you tried?
[16:12] <pensfan> anyone know why a vsphere guest isn't detecting ethernet cards?
[16:12] <adi11> switch10_ do you think i can boot from a nokia microsd card now? :):)
[16:12] <IdleOne> amber849: you could also try ##linux
[16:12] <amber849> thanks
[16:12] <eternicode> is it possible to get more information from apt-get update?  I have some repos that are 404-ing, but it's not showing me which of the many repos from ppa.launchpad.net they are.
[16:12] <adi11> switch10_ not yet.
[16:13] <adi11> switch10_ have to mess with bios now.
[16:13] <bullgard4> Media_mobile: Do not speculate about probabilities. Check your Live CD's MD5 sum.
[16:13] <adi11> its a phenix technologies
[16:13] <benzaldehyde> alright, every time i reboot I have to sudo dhclient wlan0 (why do I have to do this?)
[16:14] <benzaldehyde> is there a way around this
[16:14] <Guest20958> is that possible syncronize lucid 10.04 to oneconf ?!
[16:14] <Media_mobile> billiard4: ill do that once I get home. thanks. I figured it maybe a bad burn
[16:14] <benzaldehyde> Media_mobile: what is a bad burn, how do u know it is bad?
[16:15] <switch10_> benzaldehyde: check the md5 sum
[16:15] <benzaldehyde> switch10_: erm, thanks, but i'm not installing i'm configuring
[16:16] <adi11> switch10_ so let say i can boot from nokia microsd card. what should i do, just copy ubuntu iso on the card ?
[16:16] <switch10_> benzaldehyde: I was answering your question "whats a bad burn
[16:16] <Media_mobile> I've had live disks come out faulty. reburning the ISO solved the problem, so ill check the md5
[16:16] <benzaldehyde> does anyone know why ubuntu isn't setting ip with hcp server on boot???
[16:16] <switch10_> adi11: I would just use a usb stick.
[16:17] <switch10_> adi11: if you can boot from an external drive you can boot from a usb stick
[16:17] <benzaldehyde> switch10_: i think you thought i was asking how one knows--what criteria is the person asking the question determining that it is indeed a bad burn and not an incompatibility but no biggie same difference
[16:18] <benzaldehyde> i can't scroll up with irssi, man
[16:18] <switch10_> benzaldehyde: page up :)
[16:18] <tsimpson> benzaldehyde: page-up
[16:19] <Media_mobile> most high end usb sticks tend to not work as a notable medium tho. the success rate is higher these days, but.cheap sticks tend to work best in my experience.
[16:19] <benzaldehyde> awesome
[16:19] <Media_mobile> bootable rather
[16:19] <benzaldehyde> now if i could just figure out how to turn off these parts and joins
[16:19] <adi11> switch10_  i dont have a usb stick biger than 1 gb right now.
[16:19] <adi11>  switch10_ so i am going to use nokia micro sd
[16:19] <switch10_> adi11: all you need is ~700mb
[16:19] <shomon> how can I get started finding out a bottleneck sending lots of mail via php?
[16:20] <switch10_> ok, let me know if it works
[16:20] <shomon> sending mail with sendmail, but that might not be the actual issue...
[16:20] <shomon> it's not spam, at least last i checked :)
[16:20] <adi11> switch10_ beacuse it says on the ubuntu page that you need a usb stick min 2 gb
[16:21] <sipior> shomon: have a look at /var/log/mail.log, to start with.
[16:22] <jiltdil> ranjan: u there?
[16:22] <Media_mobile> I'll be back
[16:22] <rrykua> Hi. I would like to test Google Chrome browser whether it connects to the Google servers for every link that I visit. How would I do that in Ubuntu? Should I use some kind of a sniffer? Can netstat help me? What would you recommend?
[16:23] <tsimpson> !quietirssi | benzaldehyde
[16:24] <shomon> thanks sipior what are likely bottleneck areas though?
[16:25] <shomon> I tried asking in #sendmail..
[16:25] <sipior> shomon: difficult to say without knowing more. you're really using sendmail, or do you mean postfix/exim/...
[16:25] <rrykua> ubottu: says "IGNORE Unknown command"
[16:25] <shomon> sendmail
[16:25] <Dreki> rrykua it doesn't even if they were gonna spy on you they would not do it like that
[16:25] <shomon> but i might be able to switch if that's the main problem
[16:25] <shomon> all the info I find on sendmail is from 1999...
[16:25] <shomon> or thereabouts
[16:26] <sipior> shomon: the individual entries in mail.log might mention a delay in processing. might also be name service delays.
[16:26] <rrykua> Dreki: I would like to see this myself :)
[16:27] <shomon> rubbish ubottu, bots are passing turing tests a bit more each day... on my capchas anyway.
[16:27] <shomon> sipior - name service delays - you mean dns?
[16:27] <sipior> shomon: yep.
[16:27] <shomon> ok thanks...
[16:27] <mbeierl> rrykua: I'd use "wireshark" (available in the repos) and then capture all network traffic for viewing that way

[16:27] <benzaldehyde> I have no real understanding of irssi but i did however manage to follow a guid on how to junk all the parts and joins to another window
[16:28] <ruan> benzaldehyde: page up and page down
[16:28] <Socky_> Hey guys, is there a way to bind the mouse wheel to pg up and down in gnome terminal.

[16:28] <ruan> benzaldehyde: im using irssi, got all the controls right
[16:29] <antonio_> hi I'm having trouble with the flash plugin...speedtest.net, for instance, asks for flash 9, but I have flash 10 installed
[16:29] <IdleOne> benzaldehyde: irssi has an extensive FAQ on irssi.org
[16:29] <Pici> benzaldehyde: Their support channel is also here on freenode in #irssi
[16:29] <benzaldehyde> IdleOne: i hear you, but i have bigger fish to fry.
[16:29] <zutme> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop and I can get audio through the headphone jack, but not from my speakers. Any ideas?
[16:30] <benzaldehyde> what can I do about dhcp not being assigned?
[16:30] <aeon-ltd> benzaldehyde: restart router?
[16:30] <benzaldehyde> i have interfaces set with all the right codes
[16:30] <IdleOne> benzaldehyde: just saying that, pretty much anything you would need to know about irssi is covered in that FAQ. More of a compliment to irssi then anything else is what i was trying to do :)
[16:31] <rrykua> Sorry... i missed that last message because I thought that nobody is going to answer me at all and closed the browser. But I have heard a sound right before the browser got closed. Could you please repeat the message?
[16:31] <soop> benzaldehyde: check to make sure if you set a static that you can ping your dhcp server etc
[16:32] <benzaldehyde> IdleOne: i understand and i didn't mean to disregard the statement, it's just that i just now was able to stop all that trafic on the screen added to that the real reason of why i came here. i might add FreeBSD has an extensive FAQ too but man if i had two lifetimes i don't think i could ge through it all
[16:32] <IdleOne> heh
[16:33] <benzaldehyde> soop: i did not set static
[16:34] <benzaldehyde> 11:27 < mbeierl> rrykua: I'd use "wireshark" (available in the repos) and then  capture all network traffic for viewing that way
[16:34] <pratheep> hello every body
[16:34] <ruan> rrykua: see above        ^
[16:34] <rrykua> benzaldehyde: thanks for repeating that
[16:34] <benzaldehyde> rrykua: no problem.
[16:35] <mbeierl> benzaldehyde: thanks as well.  did not notice the request to repeat ;)
[16:35] <pratheep> i just want to khow on ubuntu what irc client are best.... or goods for you.
[16:35] <benzaldehyde> mbeierl: :3
[16:35] <ruan> pratheep: i use irssi
[16:36] <ruan> !irc
[16:36] <tsimpson> pratheep: there is no "best", it's personal taste. many people use xchat or xchat-gnome though
[16:36] <benzaldehyde> pratheep: before i used irssi i was very fond of BitchX and would be using it now if not for the fact that i could not locate it in apt-get
[16:36] <rrykua> mbierl: thanks... didn't know that Ubuntu also has this software... i used that in the past on Windows
[16:36] <tsimpson> benzaldehyde: I'm pretty sure that project is dead
[16:36] <benzaldehyde> tsimpson: blasphemer!
[16:36] <benzaldehyde> :3
[16:36] <ruan> !bitchx
[16:37]  * benzaldehyde face palms
[16:37] <ruan> lol
[16:37] <zutme> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop and I can get audio through the headphone jack, but not from my speakers. Any ideas?
[16:37] <tyrrexrrg> Xchat is bad?
[16:37] <ruan> zutme: have you checked the sound settings?
[16:37] <djhenning> hi
[16:37] <ruan> tyrrexrrg: i find irssi easier to use
[16:37] <Pici> tyrrexrrg: It depends on *your* preferences.
[16:37] <zutme> ruan, all the volumes seem to be at max
[16:38] <ruan> zutme: and output? is the card detected?
[16:38] <ruan> !sound
[16:38] <guampa> zutme: check sound preferences->output->connector
[16:39] <pratheep> thank for your anwser...... now i use konversation but it not a some funtion like 'auto type use for adver'
[16:39] <benzaldehyde> zutme: ubuntu-restricted-extras messed up the audio for my 9.10 install, i purged it. not saying you installed it and it is not included with any of the installs but thought i'd mention it
[16:40] <zutme> guampa, all I see is Internal Audio Digital Stereo
[16:41] <ruan> digital didnt work for me
[16:41] <ruan> analog did
[16:41] <ruan> zutme: what is the audio profile?
[16:43] <zutme> switching it to analog fixed it
[16:43] <zutme> Thanks all
[16:43] <ruan> great
[16:43] <benzaldehyde> zutme: i switched to stereo--sounds a lot better than it did.
[16:43] <ruan> analog stereo duplex btw
[16:43] <zutme> cool, thanks for the quick help will pay it forward when I can

[16:51] <ruan> azizLIGHTS: also, 'unzip'
[16:51] <azizLIGHTS> tar comes preinstalled doesnt it
[16:51] <ruan> azizLIGHTS: yep, also unzip
[16:51] <benzaldehyde> BlessJah: not really
[16:52] <azizLIGHTS> what is the command to unzip with tar
[16:52] <BlessJah> benzaldehyde: it could be even cheating girlfriend, boyfriend or parrot using my computer while i'm taking part in zombie apocalypse
[16:52] <benzaldehyde> azizLIGHTS: i think it's tar -vwfz but don't quote me
[16:53] <benzaldehyde> BlessJah: dude what is up with the zombie thing lately?
[16:54] <benzaldehyde> BlessJah: do you have the handbook by max brooks or whatever his name is
[16:54] <sdimkov> a
[16:55] <BlessJah> benzaldehyde: no, i'm not taking part in zombie apocalypse
[16:55] <noodle> hi
[16:55] <BlessJah> benzaldehyde: does it change anything? i still don't know how to record mouse clicks
[16:55] <benzaldehyde> BlessJah: if you are worried about someone getting into your stuff why not give TrueCrypt a whirl

[16:56] <benzaldehyde> BlessJah: o.O
[16:58] <pratheep> i have a question.. i want programe to use like disk deflegment on wxp but on ubuntU , idon't know on ubuntu?
[16:58] <ruan> !defrag
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> pratheep:  you mean to defrag a Ext2/3/4 filesystem?
[16:58] <sipior> pratheep: generally, barring a very full volume, disk fragmentation isn't an issue under linux.
[16:58] <pratheep> yes : dr willis
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> pratheep:  see what sipior  said.. normally never needed..
[16:58] <sipior> (i don't even think it's much of an issue under windows anymore)
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> it definatly is still an issue under windows7 :)
[16:59] <pratheep> ok..
[16:59] <benzaldehyde> Dr_Willis: for a minute i thought pratheep might have been going for 'deflagration'
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> just widnows has these in the background defraggers.. that make you not notice it as much
[16:59] <LePousson> hi guys
[16:59] <ruan> pratheep: yeah, ext* places files far apart from each other, this avoids fragmentation
[16:59] <sipior> Dr_Willis: i think the "not booting windows" makes me notice it even less :-)
[17:00] <benzaldehyde> LePousson: hola
[17:00] <ruan> pratheep: the guide from !defrag explains it better
[17:00] <pratheep> defrag to more speed fin file on hardisk.
[17:00] <pratheep> so..:ruan
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> pratheep:  theres tools for it for ext2/3/4 but i doubt if you will notice any differance.
[17:01] <LePousson> i'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I have a little problem with my USB HDDs. When I reboot my computer, the HDDs are not recognized as the same system drives. I mean sometimes one is /dev/sde1 and sometimes it is /dev/sdd1 ...
[17:01] <ruan> pratheep: that's for windows(ntfs), linux uses ext*
[17:01] <pratheep> what program...
[17:01] <LePousson> what can i do to make them recognized at every reboot like the / part with an UUID ?
[17:01] <patrykr> can I have DNS server on server, if that server blocking ping requests?
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> check that defrag url.. in the many many many years of using linue. ive never needed to defrag.
[17:01] <LePousson> hi benzaldehyde
[17:01] <ruan> LePousson: get the uuid
[17:02] <LePousson> how can I get the UUID ?
[17:02] <Theoretician> LePousson: Check your BIOS boot order?
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> LePousson:  you can set fstab to mount them by UUID, or even Label. if you wanted
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> !uuid
[17:02] <ruan> LePousson: yep, sudo blkid
[17:02] <sipior> patrykr: sure.
[17:02] <benzaldehyde> LePousson: hi. stuff like that happens to me when i don't umount the drive
[17:02] <ruan> LePousson: it lists UUIDs of drives
[17:02] <pratheep> So you mean on ubutu had defrage like wp are automatic ..
[17:02] <LePousson> ok thanks ... i'm gonna try that right now
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> pratheep:  the filesystem dosent normally need to be defragged.. ever...
[17:03] <ruan> pratheep: you should really read !defrag
[17:03] <ruan> !defrag | pratheep
[17:03] <LePousson> than ruan, benzaldehyde & Dr_Willis
[17:03] <pratheep> Thank for outer information..
[17:03] <LePousson> i'm gonna modify my fstab ... as I now have all the UUIDs
[17:03] <patrykr> do you know how to unlock ping responding?
[17:03] <jtrucks> BlessJah: has the ZA started?!?!
[17:03] <benzaldehyde> LePousson: you are welcome.
[17:03] <BlessJah> jtrucks: ZA?
[17:03]  * jtrucks runs to get the weapons
[17:03] <ruan> LePousson: just use the correct format, UUID=
[17:04] <pratheep> ruan: so i'm not really read defrag
[17:04] <BlessJah> damn
[17:04] <jtrucks> Zombie Apocalypse.
[17:04] <BlessJah> i'm asking for help
[17:04] <jtrucks> :)
[17:04] <ruan> pratheep: no, defrag isn't needed
[17:04] <LePousson> nice to find a linux channel where the guys does not say "Read the manual" or "try google" ...
[17:04] <TheOriginalDude_> How do i move data from my home folder to a /usr/include without using the terminal-command-line?
[17:04] <LePousson> i really appreciate
[17:04] <patrykr> I can ping from server to internet, but cant ping server from internet
[17:04] <BlessJah> i've thought that #ubuntu will know
