[11:14] <jb__> i have xubuntu 9.10 there, and I would like to upgrade to latest stable *kernel* (apparently 2.6.35-4) but in synaptics it says latest its 2.6.31 something ??
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> chalcedony:  check sudo fdisk -l output, check if the bios sees it.. if neither do. check the cables..
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> chalcedony:  and hope you made backups
[11:14] <jb__> thx erUSUL i'm looking
[11:14] <gryllida> Hello there! I get this message. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
[11:14] <gryllida> LANGUAGE = (unset),
[11:15] <gryllida> .. how do I set language in cli?
[11:15] <erUSUL> jb__: last ubuntu version 10.04 uses 2.6.32
[11:15] <chalcedony> Dr_Willis, new drive, not much on it.. i was hoping to get to installing a few things tonight..
[11:15] <Friar> I have 10.04 installed on my laptop. I have a server with openssh. When I want to upgrade to 10.10 I like to do a complete install. How can I get my key onto the new install so that my ssh connection doesn't go down?
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> chalcedony:   ive had new drives fail very quickly..   check sudo fdisk -l, see if its seen.
[11:16] <jb__> erUSUL, okay, is there a way to install a more recent kernel using the package managers? or I must do it manually?
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> chalcedony:  also make sure fdisk -l, is reporting what  the drive actually is. (size wize)
[11:16] <erUSUL> jb__: i think there is ppa with mainline ( vanilla ) kernels.
[11:16] <erUSUL> !ppa | jb__
[11:16] <erUSUL> jb__: or you can compile it yourself
[11:17] <mysteryguy> Hello, I have an external harddrive connected thru USB and it's corrupted, it has no important data at all on it, so I don't mind trashing it up, it's on /dev/sdd and I would like to make it work again fine
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> Friar:  its proberly best to upgrade while you are sitting at the machine.  the upgrade shouldent affect the users home dir or settings. but the ssh service may get reset.restarted as part of the upgrade
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  repartition/reformat it.  You may want to 'zero' it via dd befor hand . if you want to go hardcore on it.
[11:18] <itsux2bu> how do i create a user account in ubuntu server?
[11:18] <erUSUL> mysteryguy: create a new partition table and partitions on it ?
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  sudo adduser pickausername
[11:18] <mysteryguy> I formatted it and did that a few mins ago
[11:18] <Friar> Dr_Willis, the server is running a different install. I am going to upgrade my laptop. I also want to do a fresh install when 10.10 gets released.
[11:18] <itsux2bu> and password?
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  and its currupted again a few min later>
[11:18] <mysteryguy> no, it never got uncorrupted
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  sudo passwd username
[11:18] <jb__> can I expect problems if I use a vanilla kernel with my current ubuntu install? anything I should take care about?
[11:18] <chalcedony> Dr_Willis, my son's mailserver does not like my access level in this drive it says it will report me! ;)  i shall look at the cables... anything else to try while i'm in there with it working?
[11:18] <itsux2bu> thx..
[11:19] <erUSUL> Friar: your keys should be in your home folder ~/.ssh/ ? make a backup of your home
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> chalcedony:  clean out the dust bunnies.
[11:19] <mysteryguy> I tried fscking it, and "The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
[11:19] <mysteryguy> filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
[11:19] <mysteryguy> filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
[11:19] <mysteryguy> is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
[11:19] <mysteryguy>     e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
[11:19] <mysteryguy> "
[11:19] <FloodBot1> mysteryguy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  it is a ext2/3/4 filesystem?
[11:19] <erUSUL> jb__: some drivers that ubuntu adds may not be present in vanilla kernel
[11:19] <mysteryguy> yes
[11:19] <mysteryguy> I formatted it to ext2
[11:19] <Friar> erUSUL, that is indeed where my keys are located. so If I just make a copy of ~/.ssh and replace the default one it should be ok?
[11:19] <erUSUL> Friar: should be
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  so in the last 10 min or so.. you reformated, then fscked an empty drive and gotr an error mesage?
[11:20] <mysteryguy> yes
[11:20] <slidinghorn> Dr_Willis, he could have a 50mb hdd :)
[11:20] <mysteryguy> It's 160Gb btw :3
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> sounds like it may be ready for the trash also
[11:20] <mysteryguy> empty though.
[11:20] <Friar> erUSUL, thanks. I think I'll make the server accept passwords before I upgrade as well just to be on the safe side...I don't have physical access to my server at the moment. I'm in europe for 6 months for work, and the server is at my parents house back in the states.
[11:21] <incorrect> i am sure there was a quick way to copy over the partition table layout from one disk to another
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  check dmesg command for any error messages. could be the drive is failing
[11:21] <Katsuki> Ubuntu+1 is dead >.<
[11:21] <mysteryguy> "[130730.843506]  sdd: unknown partition table"
[11:21] <WinstonSmith> incorrect, layout or data?
[11:21] <incorrect> WindowFixer202, layout
[11:21] <mysteryguy> I used Gparted to give it a msdos partition table
[11:21] <erUSUL> Friar: ok;: good luck
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  you did reboot after repartioning ?
[11:22] <erUSUL> !weekend | Katsuki
[11:22] <Friar> thanks again. I appreciate it.
[11:22] <mysteryguy> no
[11:22] <chilli0> Hi I ran sudo update-grub and it came up saying all of the updates and stuffs. And then said it worked. But when I restart still no Grub loader? Goes straight into ubuntu.
[11:22] <mysteryguy> Should I reboot Ubuntu?
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  you may want to.. some times thye kernel can use the old layout/tables and that causes issues
[11:22] <mysteryguy> ok
[11:22] <mysteryguy> will try fsck again and if problem continues will come back (after reboot of course)
[11:22] <erUSUL> mysteryguy: if it is a usb drive just eject it and plug it again
[11:23] <mysteryguy> oh kk :)
[11:23] <mysteryguy> no apparent error messages now
[11:23] <mysteryguy> will try fsck
[11:23] <mysteryguy> doesnt work
[11:24] <otswim> hi, i have a trojan/virus on windows and i can't even boot on it because i get a BSOD every time i try; can i fix it from my kubuntu dual boot?
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> otswim:  install/try clamav and its gui front ends..
[11:24] <mysteryguy> when I try to fsck I get
[11:24] <mysteryguy> e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdd
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> otswim:  i would definatly be backing up stuff from that windows install somewhere safe...
[11:25] <mysteryguy> (same for fsck, tried what it said in that long message I posted before)
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  this is a exteranal usb hard drive correct?
[11:25] <otswim> Dr_Willis: just the clamav package?
[11:25] <Get_A_Fix> chilli0: sounds like you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst - setting the timeout to something higher than 0-1
[11:25] <mysteryguy> yes, it is
[11:25] <mysteryguy> no data at all, so you can do anything with it
[11:26] <chilli0> Get_A_Fix, Would you be able to tell me where that line is?
[11:26] <otswim> Dr_Willis: i've installed the clamav package, how can i use it to scan windows now?
[11:26] <no--name> :)
[11:27] <Get_A_Fix> open a terminal - type; sudo nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:27] <malv> ubuntu didn't detect windows, how do I run the grub detection script?
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  you could go hardcore and 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=2048' (DONT MAKE A TYPO)  and zerio the drive to total zero-ness :) then reparttion, and reformat
[11:27] <Get_A_Fix> then at the top is the default and then timeout
[11:27] <kalle_> howto create a mysql root account ?
[11:27] <dli> malv, sudo update-grub
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> otswim:  install one of the front ends for it.. and run the front end
[11:27] <mysteryguy> I tried that too Dr_Willis :)
[11:27] <chilli0> Get_A_Fix, I don't have that file. I have grub2
[11:27] <malv> dli: ok, it worked. thanks
[11:27] <mysteryguy> didn't use the bs=2048 part though, is it important?
[11:27] <gryllida> how do I set OS locale in cli?
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  time to open it up.. take out the platters and hang them from the ceiling for disco light effects.. and put the magnets on the fridge to hold the pizza cupons.
[11:28] <chilli0> Get_A_Fix, I may have found it, brb restarting.
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  bs= makes it go faster
[11:28] <mysteryguy> I will try again anyway
[11:28] <mysteryguy> else I will do some disk-hulk-smash :)
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> mysteryguy:  thers some other HD tools out ther eint he repos you can try. but I wouldent trust the HD.
[11:29] <WinstonSmith> hi ppl :) i have a udev-rule to execute a script when i plug in my backup usb hdd but it doesnt work : ACTION=="add"; SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1d00", SYSFS{idVendor}=="13fe", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/mount.tera", SYMLINK+="terabyte_toshiba". any ideas? thx
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> Those Magnets in hard drives are amazingly strong.
[11:29] <otswim> Dr_Willis: should i scan my whole windows partition, or just C:\Windows\System32?
[11:29] <WinstonSmith> Dr_Willis, neodymium i think
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> otswim:  why do things part way...
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> otswim:  scan EVERYTHING
[11:30] <otswim> :D because it's taking hours just to calculate scan time :)
[11:30] <kalle_> howto create a mysql root account ?
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> otswim:  You got other things to do? :)
[11:30] <rek> DR:Dr_Willis can i install ubuntu x86 if i'm running kubuntu amd64 ..i mean net install
[11:30] <rek> !installation
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> otswim:  of course it may remove the virus. but not fix the system to be bootable...
[11:30] <gryllida> how do I set OS locale in cli? like the language seaaing and such
[11:30] <kalle_> !automate
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> rek:  a 64bit cpu can run the 32bit OS.
[11:31] <gryllida> please ping me when replying it's very active here I can't read this all
[11:31] <otswim> Dr_Willis: no actually it is bootable, but on boot, if i don't end the processus very quickly, the virus takes control, creates a lot of processes, and causes a BSOD
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> gryllida:  export locale='somthing'
[11:32] <Katsuki> Boot in safe mode, most viruses dont get executed in safe mode, you can run your virus scan from there, or manually remove files
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> or is it LOCALE..
[11:32] <rek> Dr_Willis: i must install ubuntu x86 in my laptop with the net but on my pc i have kubuntu amd64 can i install x86 using net install how can i specifiy the version i want to go in my laptop
[11:32] <wieshka> i have a really stupid question - for what stands "console-kit-daemon"
[11:32] <incorrect> its a shame that the software raid doesn't have a tool to help you rebuild your array
[11:32] <wieshka> i have ~60 running processes
[11:32] <wieshka> named console-kit-daemon
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> rek:  ive never done net installs.. so no idea if you can host a 32bit install  from a 64bit machine. proberly can.
[11:33] <wieshka> looks like they ar just incorrectly showed up
[11:33] <nordle> hello.  Reading http://www.ubuntugeek.com/kernel-2-6-35-officially-available-for-ubuntu-10-04.html it says "This kernel is now available in the git repository of Ubuntu 10.04"  and  "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".  If its a dist-upgrade, isn't that 10.10 beta?  I don't understand how it can remain 10.04 but with <IP_ADDRESS> kernel.  Can anyone help me understand this please?  Thanks.
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> nordle:  a dist-upgrade does not always upgrade to the next release.
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> I often have to do a dist-upgrade to make it upgrade some held back packages
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> always seems to be trivial things held back also..
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> OR very imporntant things - like thje kernel.
[11:35] <itsux2bu> Dr_Willis, you were telling me about ssh-keygen.. i'm running it now.. you said you didn't need passwords by using a key, right?
[11:36] <nordle> Dr_Willis: wow, ok, mmm.  I need to re-learn some stuff by the looks of it :)  Thanks for the information!
[11:36] <jb__> ok will upgrading ubuntu version upgrade the kernel too?
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  i do not need to use a password to ssh to my other linux box's after setting up sshkeygen and ssh-copy-id..
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> jb__:  yes - it should
[11:37] <jb__> Dr_Willis, can I upgrade while I have applications running?
[11:37] <majeszko> Hi I'm runing ubuntu 10 4 1 and trying to install tom tom sat nav software, I can't get to the installerdata by terminal, I become a root, then command <cd /media/INTERNAL/TomTom HOME Install.app/Contents> and answer <bash: cd: /media/INTERNAL/TomTom: No such file or directory> I'd really stuck exactly on the start, help
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> nordle:  i never have figured out the logic to what gets held back
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> jb__:  I did earlier today. :)
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> jb__:  prioberly not the best idea.. but im brave and stupid.
[11:37] <jb__> ah.. you went from 9.10 to 10.4?
[11:37] <itsux2bu> ssh-keygen asking for a passphrase..  is this a one time thing.. or will my brother have to enter it everytime he connects via ssh?
[11:37] <BattlePope> random web server question: I have two websites with their own domains sitting on the same box. How do I go to dir_a/ if I input a.com, and dir_b/ if I input b.com? I've got the A record set in my domain registrar to my server's IP, but I can't figure how to separate the sites without using a redirect :)
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> majeszko:  spaces in path names are your issue.. use the TAB key to complete the names.. of just copy the files over to your HOME so you dont have as big a path to use.. and install from HOME
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> majeszko:  cd '/path/dir with spaces/stuff'
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> majeszko:  cd /media/INTERNAL/Tom<TABKEY>    may also work
[11:39] <jb__> BattlePope, hm.. maybe a http server option for thaT?
[11:39] <majeszko> thx Dr Willis
[11:39] <jgb> which dock do you guys prefer? i'm trying cairo-dock atm, and I've got a few issues
[11:39] <JoshuaL> i like avant-window-navigator
[11:39] <jb__> like.. change root depending on request url's domain
[11:39] <jb__> dunno
[11:39] <itsux2bu> Dr_Willis, ssh-keygen asking for a passphrase..  is this a one time thing.. or will my brother have to enter it everytime he connects via ssh?
[11:40] <BattlePope> hmmm... yeah I reckon that might be the way to do it, but it seems like it must be a common thing, there must be a tool or easy script to do it
[11:40] <jgb> JoshuaL: thx, will try it now
[11:41] <Dilberto> Petition to pressure Kevin Rose to eat uncured pork bacon live on streaming video and drink COLD BEER with it. Have him prove that simple greed and or incompetence was the reason behind this and not something else, if you get my drift!
[11:41] <Dilberto> Sign the petition here:
[11:41] <Dilberto> http://www.petitiononline.com/krbacon/petition.html
[11:41] <FloodBot1> Dilberto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:41] <zagabar> I think I have done something bad to my server. I tried to update libc6 to version 2.11 by using a deb package but then it started to complain on dependencies and now I get this message when installing stuff: http://pastebin.com/3yn1qDAt  If I try the -f thingy, it tries to remove like 10000 packages, telling me that I should abort it if I really don't know what I am doing. It would free 1.5 GB of space.
[11:42] <jb__> BattlePope, yea it must be common, it's common to redirect subdomains like bleh.waza.com to ~bleh/public_html
[11:42] <jb__> so it shouldnt be too hard to redirect different domains also
[11:43] <BattlePope> yeah
[11:43] <BattlePope> that's what I thought, but all my googling has not returned an answer :)
[11:43] <jb__> you're using apache?
[11:43] <BattlePope> yes.
[11:44] <jb__> hehe.. I've always been too lazy to go through the whole config file
[11:44] <jb__> its probably there somewhere though
[11:45] <mike9055> any idea what my symbolic links in mpds music folder arent working?
[11:45] <mike9055> why*
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  i dont set a passphrase
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> !ssh | itsux2bu
[11:46] <itsux2bu> ok.. i'm looking at ssh tutorial now
[11:46] <e24s> !help
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> itsux2bu:  theres entire books written on ssh and all the neat ssh tricks one can do
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> Guess e24s dident need help...
[11:47] <babalu> how can i install wine1.2 on ubuntu?
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> babalu:  via the packagte manager. and enable any newer ppa's for it if needed
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> !wine
[11:48] <magnetron> babalu: use a package manager (synaptic or similar) to install the package named wine1.2
[11:48] <jb__> BattlePope, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html
[11:49] <babalu> thanks it's ok now
[11:49] <BattlePope> cheers jb__
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[11:49] <magnetron> Dr_Willis: wine1.2 is already included in the official ubuntu repository
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> I dont keep up with version #'s :)
[11:50] <magnetron> Dr_Willis: key but the package is named "wine1.2"
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> wines one of the few apps that i always stay with the latest version
[11:52] <jgb> JoshuaL: thx, it is great
[11:52] <JoshuaL> jgb, nice :)

[12:00] <gryllida> http://ssh.shellium.org/~gryllida/pastebin.txt ::: How do I fix it? I tried `export LANGUAGE="en_AU"` but it didn't satisfy the system. I get this message in the pastebin every time I try to install nano via `apt-get install nano`.
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> gryllida:  thats just a warning.. it shouldnet keep the system from installing nano
[12:02] <rek> i like nano
[12:02] <Hounddog> i need to run fsck on one partition but i am unable to unmount it... device is busy if i check with fuser there is nothing on there
[12:02] <rek> anyone able to do netwrok installs?
[12:02] <schoolschool> anybody?
[12:03] <ttmrichter_> Is there any way to get the Gwibber social networking client to use a proxy?
[12:03] <gryllida> Dr_Willis: Yes. Nano installation succeeds. However I want to fix locale in the system. I ge same messages about locales every time I install anythng.
[12:03] <gryllida> get

[12:04] <Dr_Willis> schoolschool:  is there a sr0 ?
[12:05] <schoolschool> nope
[12:05] <schoolschool> actually, i have no cdr or dvd in a grep dmesg
[12:05] <rek> where can i find the network install in italian
[12:05] <schoolschool> so i guess it is a driver problem
[12:06] <gryllida> Dr_Willis: Any idea on how to set the proper locale?
[12:07] <oCean_> schoolschool: find out if the system sees the device: sudo lshw -C disk
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> gryllida:  Never really worried about it - if its just warnings.. I recall  some forum threads on the topic.   Theres may be some package you need to reconfigure
[12:08] <schoolschool> oCean_ it lists only the hdd
[12:08] <schoolschool> oCean_ no cdrom in there
[12:08] <majeszko> HI, I copied Installer data for sat nav tom tom, I made it executable(checked with <ls -l>) now for command <root@ubuntu:/home/majeszko/programs# ./Installer.data> answer <bash: ./Installer.data: cannot execute binary file>
[12:09]  * ankur says hi
[12:09] <oCean_> schoolschool: but you did use the cdrom device for installing ubuntu?
[12:09] <schoolschool> yes
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> majeszko:  this is a windows binary>? or what exactly?
[12:09] <schoolschool> it used to work
[12:10] <schoolschool> oCean_ after the installation, it worked for a time, and then somebody did something and now it is not working
[12:10] <majeszko> This is for Tom Tom satelite navigation
[12:10] <yyb5888> qiuzhu
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> majeszko:  so.. IS this a windows binary/program you are trying to run on linux? or has tomtom made native linux binaries?
[12:11] <oCean_> schoolschool: the fact that it does not recognize the hardware might be something to worry about
[12:12] <marco> ola
[12:12] <majeszko> It worked in windows, so it must be for windows
[12:12] <oCean_> schoolschool: your hdd is/are scsi?
[12:12] <schoolschool> yes
[12:13] <schoolschool> oCean_ , the hdd appears in the lsscsi listing
[12:13] <th_> what is the best way to draw a grid in Linux?
[12:13] <majeszko> It won't work on ubuntu then?
[12:13] <oCean_> schoolschool: ok, so the required scsi drivers are loaded. In that case, it seems toe me it's an hardware issue
[12:13] <lousygarua> th_ openoffice?
[12:13] <oCean_> th_: draw a grid?
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> majeszko:  you use wine to run windows appliocations on linux. theres no guarentees it will work
[12:14] <rek> anyonee able to do net installs?

[12:14] <Hexidecimal> Title: Wine - Community Ubuntu Documentation (at help.ubuntu.com)
[12:14] <jonas__> hi
[12:14] <th_> lousygarua, hmm wich part?
[12:14] <oCean_> th_: I don't see how that is an ubuntu issue
[12:14] <th_> oCean_, well its linux issue
[12:14] <schoolschool> oCean_ why do I then get the Cannot open SCSI driver! for the cdrecord -scanbus command
[12:14] <lousygarua> th_ you want a table of time and distances?
[12:14] <ankur> hi , i just wanted to know some basic things about apport bug reporting . Does we need to add any specifipport c hook to our application or does apport always intercept any crash signal?
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> th_:  theres ploting tools in the repos.
[12:15] <schoolschool> oCean_ and there is no sr_mod module in the modprobe -l listing
[12:15] <th_> lousygarua, yes
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> th_:  oocalc can also do graphs i recall
[12:15] <oCean_> th_: well, the topic of this channel is ubuntu technical support, not general questions
[12:15] <lousygarua> th_, yeah, try ubuntu calc, it's like excel on windows
[12:15] <th_> lousygarua, ok
[12:15] <oCean_> schoolschool: I don't have sr listed, but I can use my scsi dvd
[12:15] <jonas__> anybody else whos display backlight stopped working after the first time the computer woke from sleep?:/
[12:15] <lousygarua> th_: "openoffice spreadsheet", that's how it appears in me menu
[12:15] <majeszko> All right I'll try, beer from fridge then wine from computer thanks
[12:15] <Aijse> My keyboard does not seem to be fully supported as some keys are not bindable. eg if I press them when I want to set short cut nothing happens. Is there a file where I canedit the input from my keyboard? Or somewhere I can d-load defaults?
[12:15] <wezz> Since nobody in irc://irc.freenode.net/#mongodb reacts, I give it a try in here. Does anybody know, when trying to install mongodb on ubuntu 10.04 it wants to install all kinds of x11 libraries. Since i run a CLI-only server this sounds unnecessary to me. Is there a way to do a 'minimal' install without these X-libs?
[12:16] <th_> lousygarua, well if thats the tool
[12:16] <schoolschool> I see. I'll try a bootable cd and see if that's working and then check for the hardware
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> Aijse:  what keys are not bindable?
[12:16] <oCean_> schoolschool: good idea
[12:16] <Aijse> Like a zoom in and zoom out key for example
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> Aijse:  Your keyboard has an actual zoom in/out keys? thats odd..  wonder what they were designed for. :)
[12:17] <schoolschool> oCean_ thank you very much . have a good day.
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> Aijse:  some keyboards special keys can take some work to get working properly.
[12:17] <Aijse> Dr_Willis, I also use Lirc and it took some time to figure all commands for the keys out but it was possible
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> Aijse:  if you hit the keys a few tmes then check 'dmesg' output it may give some info on the key
[12:18] <Aijse> Dr_Willis, Isnt there some config file for the keyboard?
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> Aijse:  yep. same setup/tricks may be needed fot the keyboard. ive never noticed a single config for thekeyboard.
[12:18] <jb42> i think you can setup some stuff with xmodmap
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> Aijse:  i spent part of a day getting the media/special keys going on an IBM keyboard. (old)  it was a pain. :)
[12:19] <magnetron> wezz: seems like mongodb depends on xulrunner, as if mongodb had a XUL based UI.
[12:19] <chalcedony> Dr_Willis, my husband's computer can see this drive. whitestar cannot. cleaning contacts on the drive didn't help. ideas?

[12:19] <chalcedony> Dr_Willis, eide drive yes

[12:20] <bazhang> !fr | cyberone
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> chalcedony:  ive seen hard drives so flakey that just moving them got them working for a while. or mounting them in a differnt orientation worked.. for a time
[12:20] <chalcedony> Dr_Willis, western digital 500 gb and it DID work and it's set to master.
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> could be the ide slot/controller is going bad on that one pc.
[12:20] <chalcedony> it's nearly new
[12:20] <cyberone> merci
[12:20] <jb42> Dr_Willis: haha
[12:20] <Atlantic777> off
[12:20] <Aijse> Dr_Willis, Yes most of my media keys work out of the box wich made me a bit spoiled I guess. Now I want all keys to work
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> hard drives can die at ANY time. :)  new old, now, 20 sec from now.
[12:21] <chalcedony> evil!
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> Real fun when they die while you are using them.....
[12:21] <Aijse> 20 sec from now!? all back up fast
[12:21] <chalcedony> oh i know .. glares at 5 years of work sitting on top of the monitor.
[12:21] <jb42> I heard it's best to let them spin all the time
[12:21] <jb42> rather than spin down/up often
[12:22] <chalcedony> jb42, i turned it on, made sure it stayed as cool as i could.. and it did that kernel panic thing and now it won't see it
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> jb42:  ive heard opposite.. but it depends on the disk ussage.
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> jb42:  i got some tha tsmart says have 2+ yrs of spinning time. :) others get used once a day for 10 min.. then spindown for 23 hrs.....
[12:23] <Friar> I just made an update to my /etc/hosts file. Do I need to restart anything to make it take effect? I tried to do ssh user@server and I get a cannot resolve hostame server.

[12:23] <mario_> ciao
[12:24] <itsux2bu> Dr_Willis, your right.. i found a book in pdf on ssh

[12:24] <dt_> hi, I had an odd problem that was solved with a reboot. whenever I typed anything/anywhere it would act as if I had some other key pressed (like control or something) and I couldn't really do anything
[12:24] <dt_> and when I did ctrl+alt+f1 to switch workspaces, anything i typed would show up with a ^ or a [
[12:24] <itsux2bu> this is a 'definitive guide'
[12:25] <Friar> Dr_Willis, I'm not quite sure what that means...I looked at hostname and all it has in it is lappy, the name of my computer.
[12:25] <dt_> so if I typed a dot it would show up as [.
[12:25] <th_> how i can make windows file types as defaults to whole system?
[12:25] <dt_> any idea what could've happened?
[12:25] <jrib> dt_: did you try running « reset »?
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> Friar:  you edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and  a be sure they are correct.. then use the hostname command
[12:25] <dt_> jrib, no
[12:26] <Friar> Dr_Willis, I added the line neezer96.poweredbyclear.com      server to my /etc/hosts...do I need to add the same thing to /etc/hostname?
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> Friar:  i recall the ubuntu-tweak tool has a tool to change the hostname also
[12:26] <Dr_Willis>  Friar  my /etc/hosts just has the sort name of my pc. not the full name like you got.
[12:27] <Friar> Dr_Willis, I'm not sure we're on the same page. I just want to type ssh root@server in command line instead of ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:27] <dt_> jrib, would that've fixed it?
[12:27] <jrib> dt_: maybe
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> Friar:  if you are just wanting to save typing.. make an alias.
[12:27] <Friar> Dr_Willis, sounds great...thanks
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> Friar:  Friar  less dangerous also
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> Friar:  you could edit your /etc/hosts also to make  'server' point to the ip# of the long.named.server
[12:29] <Friar> Dr_Willis, that is what I was trying to do, but it wasn't working I don't think.

[12:37] <Stale> I guess nobody really seen the atheros problem yet, or even the busybox dual-boot probs.
[12:37] <jb42> im upgrading to lucid lynx
[12:37] <jb42> !lts
[12:38] <Stale> mso: I would still stick to windows for backup.
[12:38] <jb42> what is the difference between desktop and server? are those separate distribs?

[12:39] <Stale> mso: I'm trying to get the wireless to work on a ubuntu 8.04.1.
[12:39] <mso> still running 9.10 karmic...having problems with 10.04 lts
[12:39] <Stale> jb42, the server is supposed to be a degraded PC/desktop.
[12:39] <gryllida> how o I go to line 10 in my file, which I'm editing in nano, otherwise than manually?
[12:39] <mso> once its installed screen goes blank...??help

[12:40] <Aijse> tell that to Obama?

[12:40] <jb42> is Obama a muslim?
[12:41] <Stale> mso: I think there's a heavier requirement for the later releases.
[12:41] <bazhang> jb42, what?
[12:41] <mso> like?
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> jb42:  try the offtopic channel

[12:43] <jb42> serious??
[12:43] <mso> Stale, everything goes well until i reboot then it goes to screen then blank
[12:43] <gryllida> Dr_Willis: Aijse: the actual number is more than 100. I don't know what to search. I only know line number.

[12:43] <Stale> mso: Does the screen mentions "BusyBox" or you happened to try adjusting the monitor settings?
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> gryllida:  hit ctrl-h and check the nano help perhaps.
[12:44] <mso> everything loads up fine till i get to log on..then nothing
[12:44] <Stale> mso: I believe that 6GB of RAM should more than suffice in the RAM requirement.
[12:45] <jb42> wow.. installing upgrades says 2 hours 20 remaining.. is this normal?

[12:51] <bazhang> meis, there are some sample configs in there as well

[13:12] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis there are two types of mp4 files
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: you can use a bash scipt to blast through the files and run mencoder / ffmpeg on them all
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: something like this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/bash-script-to-convert-all-mp3-files-to-aac-768678/
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  theres proberly more then 2 codecs they can use..
[13:13] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip on ubuntu forums I see a one liner but bazhang told me those options were removed because of legal issues
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  theres the various tool sin the mediabuntu and other repositories/ppa's that may have whatever features you are needing
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  what are yoy trying to do exactly anyway?
[13:14] <ljsoftnet> Kartagis: thanks man
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: wow, not heard that before. freaky
[13:15] <fajf> hi guys, im having a problem with VMWARE, it wont recognize my network card
[13:15] <Kartagis> ljsoftnet np
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> fajf: i'd ask in #vmware too
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> fajf:  vmwarew emulates its own  virtual nic i thought.
[13:16] <fajf> i' ve been told on other chat to ask here ;o
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> fajf:  it would appear as a networked machine (at least thats how virtualbox works)
[13:16] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis what I'm trying to do is, mass convert and mass subtitle embed to mp4 files that nokia 5800 can read
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> !vmware | fajf
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  thats a phone? or somthing else?
[13:17] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis format factory can do what I what I want with the exception of mass subtitle embedding
[13:17] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis phone
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  my phones just do 3gp :(   heh..
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  i recall the ffmpeg faq having some info on subtitles. ive never used the feature.
[13:17] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125181 is one-liner I found
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  once ya learn how to make ffmpeg do it for one..  - the bulk conversion is easy
[13:19] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125181 is the one-liner I found but bazhang told me some options were removed from ffmpeg because of legal issues and suggested that I use handbrake instead, but that converts to m2v only
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> I made a dirty Nautilus Script. so i can convert vbideos to cell phone format with a right click. (for my phone) heres the pastebin of it -->
[13:19] <Dr_Willis>  pastebinit  Video_To_Cellphone
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> http://pastebin.com/SV7m8EeN
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  you can get ffmpeg from other sources.. or recompile the latest with all features
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: looks good, use a script with that and you can do whole bunches of files while you sleep
[13:21] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis what source do you recommend?
[13:21] <tracy69> how to get motherboard info under ubuntu ??? in bios it doesnt show
[13:21] <Tweaky> anyone had success using blackberry with ubuntu? i've read all forums etc but still nothing close to the BDM (blackberry desktop manager) for windows. cant get it to run through wine. anyone had success?
[13:21] <tracy69> Tweaky,  i had
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  i saw some scripts on various ubuntu news/blog sites that automated the whole 'compile latest ffmpeg'  process.. but medibuntu may have  the allready
[13:22] <tracy69> but under windows
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  the issue may be the aac audio codec. You may be able to just use mp3  and have it work.
[13:22] <Tweaky> tracy69: install a program from repository called sysinfo
[13:22] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis it complained about libxvid too
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  xvid is video codec. that example command i saw was using the h264  not xvid.
[13:23] <zagabar> I think I have done something bad to my server. I tried to update libc6 to version 2.11 by using a deb package but then it started to complain on dependencies and now I get this message when installing stuff: http://pastebin.com/3yn1qDAt  If I try the -f thingy, it tries to remove like 10000 packages, telling me that I should abort it if I really don't know what I am doing. It would free 1.5 GB of space.
[13:24] <jophish> Howdy all. A disk in a raid5 array just failed. http://pastebin.com/arDmuPjE I have come to the conclusion that I have no idea what to do
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> Unknown encoder 'libfaac'
[13:24] <jrib> zagabar: install the old version of libc...
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> seems faac is the problem child. :)
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> zagabar: then you need to satisfy the deps
[13:24] <jrib> zagabar: the one from the repositories
[13:25] <jrib> jophish: sorry I can't help you, but I love the way you phrased that
[13:25] <jophish> jrib: It's exciting
[13:25] <jrib> jophish: I'm even adding it to my ubuntu_quotes file
[13:25] <jophish> :)
[13:25] <kaki> hi world
[13:26] <jophish> hi kaki
[13:26] <Kartagis> can ffmpeg convert from mkv?
[13:26] <rek> invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcp3-server, action "start" failed           why ?
[13:26] <duffydack> the last time I tried ffmpeg from the repo with medibuntu extras it suppoted libfaac.  I use compiled version tho.
[13:26] <max__> hi i want to restrict folder access in ubuntu. how i can do that?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  should be able to convert from/to most anything witht he right commands
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> max__: look into chown to change ownership and chmod to restrict access to the groups and the owner to be appropriate for your needs
[13:27] <shauny>  /server /server irc.crypticlarity.net +6697
[13:27] <Tweaky> right click on folder, properties, permissions
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> you can spend sevarl days learning about ffmpeg and all the things to watch out for. :)
[13:28] <Dr_Willis>  http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php/useful-stuff/ffmpeg-x264-encoding-guide/      has some neat info
[13:28] <kaki> or sudo chmod 0777 the folder path
[13:29] <tracy69> people i tried to run lshw and my screen freeze anyone know why? lshw started scan and i stopped at framebuffer than screen freeze
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> kaki: 777 on folders isreally silly
[13:29] <kaki> yeah really
[13:29] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis if medibuntu repo and another repo have what I want, how can I make sure that I get it from the right repo?
[13:29] <jrib> ActionParsnip: it's binary permissions, everyone has permissions or no one does, duh
[13:30] <st__> linux permissions are useless
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> jrib: true, or you can make a group and have those folks have access and the owner too but no other
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> st__: how so?
[13:30] <duffydack> Kartagis, if you can copy paste commands then its as easy as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[13:31] <max__> i tired using chown -R but i shows lock icon on folder but does not ask for password to access
[13:31] <st__> any sudoer can delete/reassign any file on the system
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> max__: then you will need to add sudo to the command as it is not your users
[13:31] <vinok> chown  yourusername:yourusergroup
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> st__: tru but if you dont have everyone as admin you can have control
[13:32] <rek> Prepare your dhcp-server
[13:32] <rek> On what network interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?  i must write my network card  right? wlan0 ?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> st__: same can be said in windows, difference is that all users are admin by default in windows wheras they are users in linux
[13:32] <vinok> sudo chown
[13:32] <max__> this is what i wrote "sudo chown -R root:blaze ~/Desktop/Practice". Is this command correct
[13:33] <st__> no, in windows you can assign privileges to any group and allow the groups filesystem access, like Powerusers
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> max__: looks fine, root will be the outright owner but the users in the blaze group will also have the access granted to the group
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> st__: yes, you can do that in linux using chown and chmod, its synonymous
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> st__: and any admin can remove any permissions set, just like sudoers can get access to stuff in linux
[13:34] <max__> thanks i got what's the problem
[13:35] <st__> you have to give users sudo access for working with trivial stuff like /usr/share/fonts and /usr/share/wallpapers
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> max__: you will need to chmod too to give the owners and group members the access you want, you may only want the blaze group to have read access but root to have full access etc
[13:36] <touch-e> Hi everybody ...
[13:36] <confoocious> Hello. I'm on a Sony Vaio; My webcam doesn't work (R5U870); I've installed (tried both apt-get as well as compile) the R5U87X driver, but the camera doesn't seem to get detected in gstreamer-properties. Also there is no /dev/video* .. How do i get my cam to work?
[13:36] <touch-e> i need to get help about tomcat server, but i cannot join irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-server channel.
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> st__: not if you give them sufficient access with groups, normal users should have access to those, you should log a bug if your normal users do not and you havent modified your accesses
[13:37] <touch-e> someone can help :s
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> touch-e: i believe if you register you will be able to join
[13:37] <touch-e> haaa oky :)
[13:38] <touch-e> oky thx for the advice
[13:40] <st__> ActionParsnip, everything in /usr is owned by root:root, you tell it's a bug?
[13:41] <tracy69> what tool can i use to diagnostic everything thats in my laptop ?
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> st__: what access does the world have though, thats only 2 3rds of the access puzzle
[13:43] <vinok> guys, is there a way for me to remove the notifications in xChat. its annoying when someone joins and leaves the channel
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> st__: you will see the last octet of access, is R-X which means the world and it's dog can READ and EXECUTE the files therin, sufficient access is given
[13:43] <ciccio> culo
[13:43] <kaki> here tracy69 http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysdiag.html
[13:43] <phaedra> vinok, right click the channel tab and select to hide the messages
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> st__: also means that users do NOT need complete system access to get what they need
[13:44] <phaedra> vinok, under settings....
[13:45] <wildc4rd> stupid question, just upgraded to 10.04, how do I get the window buttons back to the right side of the top bars?
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> st__: in reply to your question, no root:root is not a bug and is expected
[13:45] <jrib> !controls | wildc4rd
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> !controls | wildc4rd
[13:46] <Himanshu> is there a way i can hide wally from the notification area but still keep it running for wallpaper change. Its notification icon is green and doesn't look good with all the monochrome icons. thanks
[13:46] <l3dx> I have some trouble installing the latest nvidia drivers from nvidia.com - does anyone know of a guide, or perhaps a ppa for a newer nvidia-latest?
[13:47] <vinok> phaedra, sorry for being a noob where is it exactly, im using xchat 2.8.6
[13:48] <phaedra> vinok, right click on the channel name in either the tree view or tab view.
[13:48] <wildc4rd> thanks jrib, sorted
[13:49] <phaedra> vinok, then go to settings > hide join/part messages
[13:49] <jb42> anyone has a wifi card with ralink chipset?

[13:52] <rek> hi,what does this mean? # path of the bootloader file, relative to tftpd's root
[13:52] <hacked_kernel> how to capture ipcamera stream in Ubuntu?
[13:53] <LinuxFetus> Hey I have an HP tx 1320 us with a fresh 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 install.  I don't think that Ubuntu is detecting the WiFi hardware.  Can someone help me? Thanks.
[13:54] <st__> rek, where the bootloader code is stored on your netboot server
[13:54] <magnetron> LinuxFetus: try running the tool called "hardware drivers" and tell us if it lists any inactive drivers
[13:54] <rek> st__: that path of pxe.0 ?
[13:55] <magnetron> hacked_kernel: depends, what format is the stream in and how is it delivered?
[13:55] <jemark> LinuxFetus, did you try to see the output of lspci?
[13:55] <cba123> I'm getting (seemingly) random lockups.  Mainly when doing something with Nautilus.  I've fscked all my drives, so I'm not sure what else to do.  Any ideas?
[13:55] <rek> st__: can pxe.0 be anywhere? should i get only that little file? 14kb ?
[13:55] <st__> rek, have no idea, never worked with net boot
[13:55] <rek> so what does "relative to the tftpd's root mean ?
[13:56] <hacked_kernel> magentar, mpeg4  and i can get it through UDP port
[13:56] <LinuxFetus> magnetron: Yeah, I think it said that Broadcom PTA Wireless Driver was inactivated.
[13:56] <LinuxFetus> jemark: I'll try that, too.
[13:56] <magnetron> LinuxFetus: try selecting that driver and click "activate"
[13:56] <st__> rek https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-netboot-pxe-config.html ?
[13:57] <LinuxFetus> magnetron: I did, but it tries to download it... which I can't, obviously, because I can't connect to the internet (I'm on this channel via another computer).
[13:57] <rek> no no ok at the root i found out
[13:57] <magnetron> LinuxFetus: could you connect with a cable for the sake of driver download? it's a restricted driver and ubuntu isn't allowed to dstribute it on the CD
[13:58] <jb42> broadcom sux ballz
[13:58] <LinuxFetus> magnetron: Not at the moment.  I do have a USB, so, if it's possible, I can download it and move it over.
[13:59] <LinuxFetus> jb42: It's not my computer.
[13:59] <st__> restricted as in 'pirated'?
[13:59] <LinuxFetus> st__: Restricted probably as proprietary.  Debian doesn't like that.
[13:59] <LinuxFetus> st__: Generally speaking.
[13:59] <st__> so why it cannot be on CD, if it's legit?
[14:00] <magnetron> st__: some software is legit UNLESS you redistribute it on CDs
[14:00] <hacked_kernel> how to capture ipcamera stream in Ubuntu?
[14:00] <magnetron> st__: i don̈́'t know the name of the software in question, so i can't provide any further details
[14:00] <LinuxFetus> st__: you can't just redistribute anything, even if it's "free" to download.  Linux is free as in freedom to redistribute and modify (keeping the license).
[14:01] <magnetron> hacked_kernel: depends, i asked some follow up question earlier. feel free to help me help you
[14:01] <paddy_> My old home directory is encrypted with encryptfs, i did it at instalation "require my password to log in and decrypt my home directory". I now need to decrypt it in a different os, I cant find any guides to do this. Can anyone help?
[14:01] <LinuxFetus> magnetron: So is there a way I can download it onto a USB?
[14:01] <jb42> hacked_kernel: you tried with mplayer?
[14:01] <magnetron> LinuxFetus: i don't know
[14:01] <hacked_kernel>  mpeg4  and i can get it through UDP port  magentar
[14:01] <jb42> mplayer -dumpstream or something
[14:01] <jb42> if you can watch it with mplayer, youcan record it
[14:01] <rileyp> i have no sound in lucid on my asrock ion in flashplayer
[14:01] <wildc4rd> ok, I have a few issues since upgrading to 10.04 netbook remix. If I change the display configuration all the menus vanish, and I can't watch media anymore, flash based online or anything on my PC, I get the sound but not the image.
[14:01] <hacked_kernel> jb42, yes it connects but nothing happening
[14:02] <LinuxFetus> magnetron: Well would would the terminal command be for activating a driver?
[14:02] <Hounddog> just a question... does an usb headset get recognized without issues?
[14:02] <Hounddog> just setting up multiple systems and idling here... so i thought i might ask
[14:02] <rileyp> I use hsmi for  and it works fine for mythtv and vlc after adjusting settings
[14:03] <Hounddog> hmm
[14:03] <Hounddog> k
[14:03] <suprengr> Re wirelessUSB: On each disto since 9..10 I have to add "blacklist rt2800usb" to:  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add "rt2870sta" to: /etc/modules... any ideas if there is a better way or a driver available somewhere?
[14:03] <suprengr> *distro
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of:  dpkg -l | grep flash;dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; lsb_release -a    thanks
[14:03] <Hounddog> i will check it on a single system first and run a backup if required.
[14:03] <rileyp> no sound in firefox help....
[14:04] <magnetron> LinuxFetus: "jockey-text". it does the exact same thing as the "Hardware Drivers" GUI
[14:04] <lousygarua> rileyp in flash?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: in flash do you mean????
[14:04] <rileyp> yes thats correct
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of:  dpkg -l | grep flash;dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; lsb_release -a    thanks
[14:04] <lousygarua> rileyp, did you try to restart firefox?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: flash != firefox
[14:04] <LinuxFetus> magnetron: Well I think I found a solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390979
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: you could be using embedded vdeo (avi etc) and get sound and it is a completely different issue to flash audio
[14:05] <ipatrol> The dark lucid theme was giving me a headache, so I changed back to the human theme and dug through the source archives to get the Karmic wallpaper
[14:05] <jb42> update-manager wants to delete 118 "obsolete" packages. is this fine?
[14:05] <st__> jb42, no
[14:05] <jb42> there's sun-java6-jre int here and other stuff
[14:05] <jb42> i keep them then?
[14:06] <wildc4rd> actionparsnip, I just post the link back in here?
[14:06] <geirha> jb42: Upgrading from karmic to lucid?
[14:06] <jb42> yes
[14:06] <rileyp> ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1139493
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: yep, copy the address bar address and paste here
[14:07] <jb42> keep or delete?
[14:07] <geirha> jb42: sun-java is no longer in the standard repositories, it's in the partner repository.
[14:07] <geirha> jb42: I'd go with delete, then add the partner repository and install sun-java again
[14:07] <rileyp> I have an asrock ion and use hdmi for audio I use alsa
[14:07] <jb42> geirha: what difference does that make?
[14:07] <jb42> how to install partner then?
[14:07] <geirha> jb42: The partner repository is disabled by default.
[14:07] <jb42> it also wants to delete mplayer and wine
[14:07] <jb42> and 188 total
[14:07] <wildlappy> actionparsnip, here is the link http://pastie.org/1139492 (the problem is on my netbook)
[14:07] <jb42> 118*
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: hmm strange, ok lets try reinstalling it: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autormove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:08] <jb42> !partner
[14:08] <magnetron> LinuxFetus: i suggest you install the package "broadcom-sta-common" from USB
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> wildlappy: hmm strange, ok lets try reinstalling it: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autormove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:08] <geirha> jb42: Sounds about the same as when I upgraded to lucid. I chose to delete.
[14:09] <jb42> i chose delete
[14:09] <JPeterson> is there a simple way to restruct a user to his home dir in ssh and sftp now?
[14:09] <jb42> okay, hope i did well
[14:09] <JPeterson> *restrict
[14:09] <magnetron> LinuxFetus: try using the CD as installation source if possible
[14:09] <etuncay> hi
[14:09] <razor950> Hello
[14:09] <jb42> hopefully i'll be in lucid in a few
[14:09] <st__> can ubuntu installer migrate Windows' user profiles?
[14:10] <razor950> I am trying to setup dual monitor correctly but can't get the primary monitor switched
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> st__: in what way? the windows profile stuff holds a lot of stuff that linux doesnt need...
[14:10] <rileyp> ActionParsnip,  Im reinstalling
[14:11] <jb42> alriight
[14:11] <st__> well like documents, desktop etc
[14:11] <jb42> see ya in lucid :p
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> st__: you can transfer docs etc, desktop icons might not be appropriate as the apps may be different. You could suggest it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com   it sounds simple in areas to acomplish but others could be hard
[14:12] <magnetron> JPeterson: there's a directive called "ChrootDirectory" that can apply to SFTP. i don't think it applies to the SCP protocol
[14:12] <rileyp> ActionParsnip,  done still no auido  I closed firefox whilst installing and then tried after install completed
[14:13] <JPeterson> magnetron: ok, i'll try that
[14:13] <rileyp> ActionParsnip,  do I need to reboot?
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: does this work: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2    do you get sound?
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: no, reboots are for windows (and kernel updates)
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: Just close all browsers and rerun
[14:15] <rileyp> ActionParsnip,  Idid that the flash animation mworks but still no sound I need to select hdmi as the out put somewher or make it the default audio output somehow this is how Ive fixed in the past but silly me did not document what I did
[14:15] <magnetron> JPeterson: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590
[14:15] <paddy_> In evolution mail my gmail inbox is in a different folder to my normal inbox how can i fix this?
[14:15] <ipatrol> ActionParsnip: restarts are also a rough way to complete changes to background processes
[14:16] <ipatrol> if the uses doesn't know how to use killall
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> ipatrol: true
[14:16] <ipatrol> *user
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: i've never played with hdmi, try  using standard speakers to test
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> ipatrol: i usually advise reboots, much easier
[14:16] <wildlappy> actionparsnip, uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer OK, youtube works, but still nothing on BBC new 24 or any of my media through VLC
[14:16] <rileyp> It wil prob work with std speakers but that is of little consecqeuince
[14:17] <ipatrol> but logoff-logon can do that, many updates that claim to need restarts aren't actually nessecary, you just have to start the service
[14:17] <ipatrol> on windows
[14:17] <ipatrol> on linux we know better
[14:18] <rileyp> I need to make the alsa /hdmi the default sound output
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> ipatrol: yeah but for new users I just advise reboots bit messy but it works
[14:18] <rileyp> Do I need to remove pulse
[14:18] <ipatrol> but most windows users just think of a terminal as some scary thing that will break the computer if they open it
[14:18] <jrib> ipatrol: it's really just KISS for new linux desktop users
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> ipatrol: we use powershell here to do lots, its awesome
[14:19] <JPeterson> magnetron: ok i tried the changes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config outlined there, so a stupid question, how do I enable the changes, ie how do I restart openssh?
[14:19] <jb__> !partner
[14:19] <lestat> hi
[14:19] <ipatrol> ActionParsnip: also, they are used to reboots after updates, terminal commands, not so much
[14:19] <lestat> is it possible to change the mouse scroll speed ?
[14:19] <ipatrol> lestat: yes
[14:19] <magnetron> JPeterson: "sudo service ssh restart
[14:19] <JPeterson> thanks
[14:19] <ipatrol> lestat: system - preferences - mouse
[14:20] <lestat> ipatrol: i've been there but cannot find anything about scroll speed
[14:20] <rileyp> what document is the default audio output device selected in
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> !sound
[14:20] <ipatrol> lestat: it's called pointer speed
[14:21] <dpac_> !players
[14:21] <lestat> ipatrol: the pointer speed is the speed of the cursor afaik, not the scroll increment
[14:21] <ipatrol> lestat: yes, but they are by default interconnected. otherwise you need to look at the manual to your mouse
[14:22] <ipatrol> unless you want to start hacking around with xorg.conf
[14:22] <jrib> lestat: if you just want to do it for firefox, you can change it in about:config, don't know about system-wide
[14:22] <JPeterson> magnetron: on a sidenote, it seemes like my system used the old convention sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart, even though I've upgraded to 10.04, because sudo service ssh restart just says "ssh start/running, process 30802", or maybe that means it has restarted?
[14:22] <lestat> jrib: i want to change it system wide
[14:22] <jb__> no, sun jre isnot in pertner... i can't find it anymore!
[14:22] <lestat> doesn't gnome allowed to change the scroll increment ? o_o
[14:22] <jrib> jb__: it's "partner", and it is in there
[14:22] <ipatrol> lestat: hold on one second then
[14:22] <magnetron> JPeterson: i don't know
[14:23] <JPeterson> magnetron: ok
[14:23] <PsyNet> How is it possible to allow a certain group the permission to do anything to some files Except delete them?
[14:23] <hepatit> selam
[14:23] <ruhe> lestat: afaik, this is not solved yet in gnome
[14:23] <hepatit> kimse varmı türk
[14:23] <BlueEagle> !fi > hepatit
[14:23] <jrib> PsyNet: do you care whether the files get deleted or just emptied?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> PsyNet: write access will give write access and delete access unfortunately, not sure there personally
[14:24] <jb__> jrib, I added the partner repo as indicated, and it's not listed in synaptics anymore since I did. It was right before I did, but said something about apckage cannot be found even though it is listed
[14:24] <ipatrol> lestat: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200
[14:24] <jrib> jb__: run sudo apt-get update.  Use a terminal to attempt install the package and show me the output on a pastebin (including your commands)
[14:24] <PsyNet> jrib I don't want to files to be either
[14:24] <BlueEagle> PsyNet: You can not prevent delition if you want to enable write access. The file system in itself does not support an "append" right afaik.
[14:25] <jrib> PsyNet: how about if they just replace the contents with the letter 'a', is that okay?  What exactly do you want them to be able to do?
[14:25] <kelle_p> Hi!
[14:25] <jrib> ...
[14:26] <kelle_p> I want to record the sound from my applications not from my microphone. But first i had to set my settings from sound preferences. Can someone help me please ?
[14:26] <ipatrol> lestat: as far as I can see the feature does not exits because of the way scrolling is handled, you need to find a solution with your mouse or drivers
[14:26] <ipatrol> *exist
[14:27] <lestat> ipatrol: i guess i will change for a less retarded desktop manager ^^
[14:28] <ipatrol> lestat: no, the problem is X, and that is not something that you could probably change
[14:28] <ipatrol> I really don't even know of a free window manager other than X
[14:28] <jb__> how come apt-get ofund sun-java6-jre but synaptic didn't? is something broken?
[14:28] <lestat> ipatrol: how kde is handling it then ?
[14:29] <ipatrol> lestat: modifications to the X server's source code?
[14:29] <lestat> ipatrol: really ?
[14:29] <ipatrol> lestat: comb the source trees and see
[14:30] <lestat> damn
[14:31] <lestat> ipatrol: i don't understand what the problem is, when i scroll in xev, either it's button 4 or 5 wethere i scroll up or down
[14:31] <lestat> -e
[14:31] <dmex> lestat try #kubuntu, ask them about scroll increment settings.
[14:31] <ipatrol> lestat: also, try asking in #kde or #kde-dev
[14:32] <lestat> ipatrol: i trust you, just trying to understand the problem si i can accept it ^^
[14:32] <snarkster> its useless to ask anything in #kde
[14:32] <ipatrol> lestat: yeah, that's how X handles scroll events
[14:32] <ipatrol> snarkster: why?
[14:32] <kelle_p> I want to record the sound from my applications not from my microphone. But first i had to set my settings from sound preferences. Can someone help me please ?
[14:32] <snarkster> ive asked several hundred question they never answer, i come in here and get an answer almost immediately
[14:32] <jamescarr> hey, my ubuntu 10.10 is stuck waiting in the bootup screen on my laptop, normally it completes in 5 seconds... is it perhaps doing a fs scan that isn't displayed?
[14:33] <jamescarr> is there someway to see the progress of the fs scan?
[14:33] <afeijo_br> I'm trying to enable the rewrite module to my new ubuntu note, I changed the AllowOverride to All but its not working
[14:33] <rek> # this is the unused IP address we will assign temporarily to the PXE client
[14:33] <rek>   fixed-address <IP_ADDRESS>;
[14:33] <rek>          is this necessary?
[14:33] <lestat> ipatrol: is it possible to handle the scroll config with something else than xorg.cong, like udev etc ?
[14:33] <ipatrol> lestat: if all else fails, you can file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome
[14:34] <afeijo_br> what am I missing?
[14:34] <ipatrol> lestat: only with a kernel extension
[14:34] <snarkster> ive been an avid KDE fan since version 1, gave up and went to gnome..
[14:34] <lestat> ipatrol: i don't mind having to install a lkm
[14:34] <dmex> rek, for PXE yes, otherwise your client will not connect.
[14:35] <jamescarr> is there someway to see the progress of the fs scan during bootup?
[14:35] <snarkster> anyone know away to have a kde plasmoid on a gnome desktop?
[14:35] <jamescarr> currently it just displays the purple bootup screen
[14:35] <rek> ok
[14:35] <rek> dmex are you an expert?
[14:35] <magnetron> !enter
[14:35] <ipatrol> snarkster: try #kubuntu
[14:35] <rek> my laptop doesn't receive any pxe image
[14:35] <snarkster> LMAO
[14:36] <wildlappy> any further thoughts on why I might get sound from media playing in VLC but not the image?
[14:36] <snarkster> wrong video codec?
[14:36] <paddy_> how do i decrypt and encryped folder, encrypded with encryptfs
[14:36] <magnetron> wildlappy: check in the notification area, is there a VLC icon there?
[14:36] <ipatrol> wildlappy: what type is it?
[14:37] <wildlappy> nothing plays correctly, .mpg .avi .mkv etc
[14:37] <snarkster> have you tried mplayer?
[14:38] <wildlappy> no, I get fed up of it asking for codecs
[14:38] <snarkster> WHAT ABOUT TOTEM?
[14:38] <snarkster> sorry
[14:38] <dmex> !codecs | wildlappy
[14:38] <wildlappy> whats wrong with VLC? its been fine for the last 5 years
[14:39] <snarkster> hmm true maybe you need ubuntu-restricted?
[14:39] <paddy_> what channel should i be on for encryptfs?
[14:39] <jamescarr> currently it just displays the purple bootup screen
[14:39] <kelle_p> I want to record the sound from my applications not from my microphone. But first i had to set my settings from sound preferences. Can someone help me please ?
[14:40] <snarkster> kelle_p:  try jack
[14:40] <ipatrol> wildlappy: in recent times there has been a movement to strip ubuntu of nonfree packages, including certain codecs
[14:40] <kraut> hi
[14:40] <kelle_p> snarkster:  jack ?
[14:40] <kelle_p> snarkster: is a software ?
[14:40] <snarkster> kelle_p: jack audio
[14:40] <kraut> is it possible to use a notebook-keyboard as a bluetooth keyboard for another device?
[14:40] <paddy_> kelle_p gtkrecordmydesktop will do it (it is possibal only to record sound) it is in the repoes
[14:40] <snarkster> kelle_p: yes
[14:40] <snarkster> kraut: no but neat idea
[14:41] <wildlappy> ipatrol, it was fine on Karmic, codecs removed since then?
[14:41] <kraut> snarkster: damn
[14:41] <snarkster> kraut: make it so
[14:41] <kraut> don't want to pay for a bluetooth keyboard for my ps3
[14:41] <ipatrol> wildlappy: wouldn't suprise me
[14:41] <snarkster> kraut: I just use a cabled one
[14:41] <kraut> i dislike cables ;)
[14:42] <kraut> meh
[14:42] <jamescarr> fuck
[14:42] <snarkster> kraut: then quit being cheap and go get a BT keyboard, while your at it get me one to
[14:42] <paddy_> snarkster kraut what would be great if you could do that with ipod/ipad
[14:42] <kelle_p> snarkster: paddy_: i dont need any new program. this is something about "sound preferences". if i will set the true options it will do it. it is not possible to say that. it must record my applications... :(
[14:42] <jamescarr> is there any way whatsoever to see the progress of the FS scan that gets triggered during bootup!?!?!?!?!
[14:42] <snarkster> paddy_: yup agreed
[14:42] <jamescarr> PLEASE!?
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> kraut: use vnc maybe
[14:42] <jamescarr> FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
[14:42] <FloodBot1> jamescarr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:42] <jamescarr> I just ewanted to boot into my laptop and do a 5 minute task
[14:42] <kraut> ActionParsnip: vnc on a ps3?! #wtf
[14:43] <paddy_> snarkster kraut i think i am going to get a apple dev account :-)
[14:43] <jamescarr> it's been sitting in bootup for an hour now
[14:43] <snarkster> is there a vnc server for ps3?
[14:43] <kraut> and gtfo with apple crap
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> kraut: if its running ubuntu, sure why not, sure the specs are low for a pc but it'll run
[14:43] <paddy_> snarkster if you run linux on a partition
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: if the ps3 runs unbuntu, yes
[14:43] <snarkster> jamescarr: try rebooting into recovery mode.
[14:43] <kraut> ActionParsnip: it's a slim, doesn't support otheros
[14:43] <kraut> and ubuntu on a ps3 makes no sense
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> kraut: i see
[14:43] <kraut> maybe with psgroove, but not actually
[14:44] <snarkster> sadly my ps3 has been upgraded and can not longer run other operating systems
[14:44] <razor950> it does make ssense with a psgroove
[14:44] <paddy_> snarkster otherwise no and a recent softwere update removed the functinality to do that
[14:44] <ProfessorBacon> kraut: actually the exploit code for ps3 was leaked.  supplemental hardware is required to pull off various different overflows in a certain order, however.
[14:44] <kraut> razor950: yep, in the future indeed
[14:44] <kraut> ProfessorBacon: google -> psgroove
[14:44] <razor950> well, its been said a linux kernel can run via the exploit easily
[14:44] <kraut> i know
[14:44] <jamescarr> snarkster, is it safe to reboot while it is stuck int the boot screen
[14:44] <razor950> so this means rsx in linux now :D
[14:44] <ProfessorBacon> ah sorry
[14:44] <razor950> :P
[14:45] <kraut> razor950: and xbmc! =)
[14:45] <snarkster> jamescarr: cant hurt it anymore than it already is
[14:45] <razor950> yup
[14:45] <jamescarr> and the second thing, anyway to disable the forced fs scan on laptops? they get rebooted often and ubuntu thinks it needs to scan after so many reboots
[14:45] <snarkster> just press esacpe to end that
[14:45] <jamescarr> snarkster, in my experience, the fs is never broken when it does this shit to me, it just forces it on me
[14:45] <kraut> bbl
[14:45] <travkin> !peak
[14:46] <paddy_> anyone know how to manualy decrypt an encryped home folder?
[14:46] <snarkster> jamescarr: i know your frustrated, but take a deep breath, say to yourself that your not going to let a box of sand and copper get the better of you
[14:46] <paddy_> snarkster lol
[14:47] <snarkster> true aint it?
[14:47] <snarkster> lol
[14:48] <matrixblue> jamescarr: I would reboot
[14:48] <snarkster> any of yous guys tried PMS?? the playstation 3 Media Server?
[14:48] <kelle_p> I want to record the sound from my applications not from my microphone. But first i had to set my settings from sound preferences. Can someone help me please ?
[14:48] <jamescarr> i did
[14:48] <jamescarr> this is BS
[14:49] <snarkster> kelle_p: what exactly are you doing?
[14:49] <snarkster> jamescarr: its your computer.
[14:49] <jamescarr> mountall: fsck / [422] terminated with status 4
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> jamescarr: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1066069.html  read the post by jerome1232
[14:49] <jamescarr> snarkster, no its not
[14:49] <jamescarr> snarkster, it always does this too me after awhile
[14:49] <jamescarr> ALWAYS
[14:49] <snarkster> hmm
[14:49] <jamescarr> on ubuntu 8 and ubuntu 9
[14:49] <jamescarr> when I have something important and I've rebooted so many times, it fucks me over
[14:49] <snarkster> boot the live cd, and work around the problem
[14:49] <jamescarr> and I have to reinstall
[14:50] <Pici> !language | jamescarr
[14:50] <kelle_p> snarkster: to record sound from vlc or firefox with ubuntu's default sound recorder.
[14:50] <snarkster> kelle_p: why would you want to reduce quality that way.
[14:51] <kelle_p>  snarkster: i dont want anythink. i just will record the sound.
[14:51] <snarkster> and thats time guys, ill be back later. gotta take the kid to school
[14:51] <kelle_p>  snarkster: thi is possible ofcorse someone is doing it but with the sam eoption is did not worked for me.. :(
[14:51] <jamescarr> anyway to ignore the inconsistency
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> jamescarr:  if you are getting hard drive file system curruption. You mayt want to fsck MORE not less.
[14:51] <_Dave123_> is truecrypt pre installed on ubuntu?
[14:51] <rautamiekka> _Dave123_: Never.
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> jamescarr:  you can set it to never fsck - or fsak after every 100 mounts or any other #. but then you may loose more data
[14:52] <kelle_p>  snarkster: it need a change from harware tab of the sound preferences.
[14:52] <_Dave123_> Is it possible to mount a full disk encrypted partition with truecrypt through ubuntu live cd ?
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> jamescarr:  see the tune2fs command.
[14:52] <jamescarr> sometimes I think fsck is unneedlessy alarming
[14:53] <jamescarr> finally got in manually, ran it, and an swered y to 3 questions
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> it does it every 30 or so reboots here.. i rarely notice it.
[14:53] <jamescarr> theres no reason it cant just do that itself
[14:53] <JPeterson> magnetron: i applied these settings http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 to ssh, but now the user has no write right?
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> jamescarr:  theres a risk of data loss.. so you dont want it doing it by its self. thats the reason why.
[14:53] <JPeterson> 7: Make directory /dfgf
[14:53] <JPeterson> 7: Permission denied
[14:54] <rosa> !list
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> JPeterson: users dont have write access to / so your command will need sudo to make the directory
[14:55] <_Dave123_> I just booted ubuntu, but it does not start in a graphical env but in a shell, called "initramfs"
[14:55] <timewriter> hi
[14:55] <_Dave123_> how can I get into the graphical version?
[14:55] <ipatrol> lestat: after poking around, I have a few answers to your scroll question
[14:56] <JPeterson> ActionParsnip: but the / is from usermod -d / user
[14:56] <JPeterson> from http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590
[14:56] <rautamiekka> _Dave123_: Auto-booting into initRAMfs means your installation, or an important part of it, is corrupted or otherwise screwed up.
[14:56] <JPeterson> the user is supposed to have write right to its dir
[14:56] <lestat> ipatrol: :D

[14:57] <blue_anna> how do I get awk to remove the line endings?
[14:57] <blue_anna> git diff | grep "diff --cc" | awk '{print $3}' | awk '{/\n|\r//}' | xargs -rt0 git add
[14:58] <blue_anna> this fails because the line endings get passed through
[14:58] <blue_anna> umm, ignore that second awk -- that was just me fooling around
[14:58] <blue_anna> git diff | grep "diff --cc" | awk '{print $3}' | xargs -rt0 git add
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> JPeterson: not done any of that stuff, sorry. I'd stick to sudo stuffs
[14:58] <JPeterson> ActionParsnip: ok
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> you could use tr to convert  a line ending to a space or otehr character or delete it..
[14:59] <JPeterson> magnetron: are you still there? do you know if the ChrootDirectory option can allow write access too?
[14:59] <blue_anna> Dr_Willis, eeh, once I'm already in awk I shouldnt need to re-massage the data ..
[14:59] <JPeterson> I understand that you need chown root.root /home/user, but does that preclude the possibility for write access?
[14:59] <kelle_p> I want to record the sound from my applications not from my microphone. But first i had to set my settings from sound preferences. Can someone help me please ?
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> blue_anna:  read up on awk more i guess.. i just offerd a quick suggestion
[15:00] <vlade4ek1> кто может дать ссылку на то, как сделать терминал в убунте как в линукс минт
[15:00] <timewriter> what blia
[15:01] <wildc4rd> interesting, all the media problems go away when I remove the second monitor from the netbook, media plays fine again, any thoughts?
[15:02] <th0r> !ru
[15:02] <enzotib> blue_anna, printf("%s", $3)
[15:03] <blue_anna> enzotib, thank you .. that command is much uglier in ruby
[15:04] <skkeeper> hey guys, anyone got globalmenu working on Ubuntu 10.10?
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> skkeeper:  not tried it on 10.10. had it on 10.04 - its nice.. and its annoying. :) heh
[15:04] <ipatrol> lestat: it appears to be a special KDE xorg.conf setting and I was told that it only applies to apps that use the KDE library
[15:04] <st__> is there a way to make 'configure' script to ignore all missing dependencies?
[15:04] <skkeeper> i use it for ages and i love it, im running beta one and I miss it :(
[15:05] <ipatrol> so GNOME would have to change GTK for that
[15:05] <skkeeper> tried the ppa for lucid, doesnt work, tried compile it, doesnt work
[15:05] <skkeeper> im guessing something major changed
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> st__:  if they are written properly they would disable the feature for the dependencies not installed.. but some programs require some dependencuies to function.. so proberly not.
[15:06] <toal193> is there any way for installing ubuntu without burning the iso image into a CD?
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> toal193:  several ways
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> !install | toal193
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> toal193:  i make bootable usb flash drives normally
[15:06] <st__> so I have to install a ton of *-dev crap just to get 'configure' to create makefiles?? it sucks
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> st__:  use the build-deps feature of apt.. and it  can normally grab them all. if the progam is allready in the repos
[15:07] <toal193> thanx
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> st__:  now you know why  the package manager binaries is perffered over 'source'
[15:08] <n00by> can anyone explain me wat GCC is?
[15:08] <rautamiekka> n00by: I think it means GNU C Compiler.
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> !info gcc | n00by
[15:08] <dpac> n00by, Its GNU C Compiler
[15:08] <n00by> gnu compiler collectio
[15:08] <n00by> The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...).
[15:08] <squeaky_pl> a
[15:08] <n00by> frontends ?
[15:08] <paddy_> nooby it is gnu c compiler it takes source code and turns it into a file/s readable by a microprocessor
[15:09] <rosa> !list
[15:09] <rautamiekka> rosa, how does that relate into anything ?
[15:09] <n00by> wat does frontends means in tht sentence ?
[15:10] <rautamiekka> n00by, from Wikipedia: Front end and back end are generalized terms that refer to  the initial and the end stages of a process. The front end is  responsible for collecting input in various forms from the user and  processing it to conform to a specification the back end can use. The  front end is an interface between the user and the back end.
[15:11] <n00by> rautamiekka: that means editors for c, c++ ? or the application interface ?
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  gcc is a front end.. editors can be a front end to gcc :)
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> !ide
[15:12] <n00by> yes, i knw abt IDE's, still gcc is getting a bit confusing
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  in geany you write the kode . hit a key. it does the stuff to call gcc and compile the stuff. *or other things* depending on the languge you are coding in
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  gcc compiles the code.. whats confuseing about that
[15:13] <rautamiekka> Dr_Willis: I think it didn't sound like that to him.
[15:13] <SmileDay> question. How to 'Ubuntu -> SAMBA -> VirtualBox -> Printer' printing?
[15:13] <n00by> gotcha :)
[15:13] <wildc4rd> how do I convert from netbook remix to full ubuntu again?
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> SmileDay:  you have a printer you want vbirtualbox to 'controll' ? or vbox accessing a printer on the host OS ?
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> SmileDay: if you make the virtualbox adapter bridged then it will just appear as another PC on your LAN
[15:13] <stanman> hi, how do i find pictures based on date? ie all pictures between juli 2009 untill juli 2010?
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> wildc4rd:  install ubuntu-desktop and select gnome at the GDM screen

[15:21] <krabador> i need an expert of testdisk software
[15:21] <JPeterson> can someone explain this http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openssh/dev/44657?
[15:21] <esmirlin> hello does anyone having the same problem as me? i'm having my internal microphone not working... i on an asus eee 1005PE...
[15:21] <JPeterson> where is the passwd file he's talking about?
[15:22] <JPeterson> where I'm supposed to enter "djm:*:1000:1000:Damien Miller:/home/djm:/bin/ksh "
[15:22] <st__> JPeterson, /etc
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> JPeterson:  backup your original first...
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> JPeterson:  dare we ask why you are editing that file?
[15:24] <krabador> i need an expert of testdisk software
[15:24] <JPeterson> Dr_Willis: see the link http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openssh/dev/44657, I want to enable write access with ChrootDirectory
[15:24] <ramrebol> hi, how can I turn on my wireless??   I can't click in "Enable Wireless"
[15:24] <zzzed_> !ask | krabador
[15:25] <JPeterson> he also says "Create a home directory "/chroot/djm/home/djm""
[15:25] <JPeterson> but I have no /chroot to begin with
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> JPeterson:  so.. make it..
[15:25] <JPeterson> it seems like I'm missing a step
[15:25] <rylord> does anyone know how to disable the cpu temp option when booting it is saying my cpu is 95C and it shuts down when booting
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> JPeterson:  its sort of scary you are wanting to do this stuff when you dont seem to know the basics.. be very carefull.
[15:25] <JPeterson> Dr_Willis: are you sure I'm not missing a step then?
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> JPeterson:  if you want that directory.. make the directory. theres no /chroot/ by default on ubuntu
[15:26] <JPeterson> thanks
[15:26] <Dr_Willis>  "Create a home directory "/chroot/djm/home/djm""     seems rather clear to me...  mkdir -p /chroot/djm/home/djm
[15:27] <wildc4rd> so LXDE just overrides the remix part yes? I'll just have normal ubuntu
[15:27] <ramrebol> I can't click on "Enable Wireless", somebody can help me?
[15:27]  * Dr_Willis has no idea why JPeterson  is doing this chrooting stuff. :) but have fun
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> wildc4rd:  lxde is a differnt desktop enviroment.. it dosent  Overwrite  the netbook adn its NOT normal ubuntu-gnome's desktop
[15:27] <JPeterson> Dr_Willis: ok, thanks, i think i might be missing a step then
[15:28] <JPeterson> anyone familiar with chrootdirectory and write access on at least one dir?
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> wildc4rd:  its the LXDE  'desktop'  you can have sevral desktopp/window ,managers installed at the same time
[15:28] <rek> should i open some ports on my router to do a net install ?
[15:28] <wildc4rd> I might just reinstall 10.04, lol
[15:28] <cannonfodder> hey is there a command to dump file contents to the terminal?  basically i wanna view contents without having to open it with gedit

[15:29] <cannonfodder> thanks
[15:29] <ramrebol> I can't click on "Enable Wireless", somebody can help me?  How can I select wireless internet?
[15:29] <craigbass1976> cannonfodder, but shut your speakers off in case you accidentally cat a binary file...
[15:29] <JPeterson> ok, for a dir inside /home/user, for example /home/user/upload it wasn't a problem to add write access
[15:29] <sanoop> how to create multiple desktop? i has only 2

[15:32] <Dr_Willis> _Dave123_:  yes it is possible.

[15:33] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_alp: none at all, go for it dude. I personally advise it WAAAY above firefox
[15:33] <sanoop> hey i got it but the number of desktop is still one

[15:34] <ActionParsnip> jimmy_alp: it will use ~/.config/chromium

[15:35] <oukourj> I have just setup a simple bridge with brctl, (ifconfig --> eth1+eth0 0,0,0,0, brctl --> addbr, addif eth0+eth1, ifconfig mybridge up)
[15:36] <oukourj> internet works but my second pc cant ping my bridge
[15:38] <n00by> where do i find configure and autogen.sh files ?
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  what are you trying to do exactly?
[15:39] <Brutus> does anoyone know how to get a soundgraph imon pad VFD/LCD to work? all i reached so far is garbage on te screen
[15:39] <gabox> hi, i have this little problem with the 2.6.32-24 kernel. When i boot i get the following message: "/dev/disk/by-uuid/4a4... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" That uuid refers to the ubuntu partition. The thing is that ubuntu boots without problems with kernel 2.6.32-23. Any ideas? thanks
[15:39] <n00by> Dr_Willis: i am new to ubuntu, reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware and trying to understand ech and everything :)
[15:40] <n00by> linux is lovely, and grep is super lovely :P
[15:40] <n00by> grep and wget ;)
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  go read a book on grep and regular expressions.. :)
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  you will blow up when you learn Regular Expressions
[15:40] <n00by> yeah, i am using grep
[15:40] <Brutus> are there books about regular expressions for real life? :S need one o fthose
[15:40] <n00by> i knw regexps :)
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> Brutus:  several of them
[15:40] <Brutus> oh and one on sarcasm and irony and stuff like that
[15:41] <n00by> i just wanna learn how to compile applications now, instead of doing sudo apt-get install or the deb file :P
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> eat lots of fiber or you get Iregular Expressions
[15:41] <n00by> so Dr_Willis, where is configure and autogen.sh files and wat do they do/used for ?
[15:41] <Brutus> that should turn poo hard right?
[15:41] <wildc4rd> ok, getting fed up with this now, is there any reason that media stops working correctly when I have the second monitor plugged in, running 10.04 in standard gnome desktop
[15:41] <n00by> poo ?
[15:41] <Brutus> shit, crap etc
[15:42] <Brutus> dunno the correct terminology for that
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  in the 13+ years of me compiling tuff and using linux. ive never needed to mess with them
[15:42] <igor_> witam wszystkich :)
[15:42] <jrib> !pl | igor_
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  go learn how to program and C and i imagine it will get covered.
[15:42] <jrib> wildc4rd: "stops playing correctly" i sa bit vague
[15:42] <Brutus> anyway, anyone know how to get my antec fusion VFD (imon) to work?
[15:42] <Brutus> all i get is gibberish
[15:42] <VCoolio> n00by: it's inside a source directory; raw source has autogen.sh to create configure and make file; precompiled only needs configure script executed; read up on checkinstall too, creates a .deb so your package manager knows about it
[15:42] <oukourj> hey
[15:42] <Brutus> or garbage, crap, poop, dunno the termss
[15:42] <oukourj> I have just setup a simple bridge with brctl, (ifconfig --> eth1+eth0 0,0,0,0, brctl --> addbr, addif eth0+eth1, ifconfig mybridge up)
[15:42] <oukourj> internet works but my second pc cant ping my bridge
[15:43] <oukourj> got an idea ?
[15:43]  * Brutus has an idea: don't ping it.
[15:43] <Brutus> but seriousley, no idea
[15:43] <oukourj> doh :/
[15:43] <wildc4rd> jrib, sorry, the media file plays, I can hear it, but get no picture. with just the laptop screen working its fine
[15:44] <oxi> hi
[15:44] <oxi> I'm stuck - can anyone please have a look at a box of mine, why I can't do name resolving?
[15:44] <oukourj> personally I dont understand how I could ping it as I started setting my ethX to <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:44] <gabox> no idea about "/dev/disk/byuuid does not exist" issue at boot??
[15:44] <jrib> wildc4rd: do you do anything other than plug in the monitor?  Does it happen with mplayer? vlc?
[15:44] <oukourj> according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge
[15:45] <jrib> gabox: it should be "by-uuid" but I'm guessing you aren't telling us the whole error
[15:45] <wildc4rd> jrib, just the monitor, seems to affect vlc, mplayer and the likes of the BBCiPlayer on line
[15:46] <jrib> wildc4rd: have you tried videos using different codecs (no idea why that would matter, but hey why not)?  Does mplayer with verbosity turned up display anything different than without the monitor plugged in?
[15:47] <jrib> wildc4rd: and is the screen just black where the picture normally is?  What driver are you using?
[15:48] <gabox> jrib, the whole error is the following: i get that message when i boot with 2.6.32-24 kernel. Everything works fine with the 2.6.32-23 kernel.
[15:48] <wildc4rd> jrib, tried different media types, all the same, just get black screen in the playback with working sound
[15:51] <shiftingcontrol> is der any open source package to protect editing pdf files ?
[15:51] <wildc4rd> jrib, and as soon as I unplug the second monitor (just tried it again) it works perfectly
[15:52] <jrib> wildc4rd: I realize I threw out a lot of questions at you, how about the driver?  And anything different with mplayer output?  (i've never seen this before)
[15:52] <olskolirc> you should be able to lock up your pdf files with acroread or adobepdf
[15:52] <olskolirc> shiftingcontrol,
[15:52] <jrib> wildc4rd: without even having to replay the video?
[15:53] <shiftingcontrol> olskolirc:i want open source .i don't think so those adobe products don't run in linux. .
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> shiftingcontrol: maybe this : http://lgjsheron.wordpress.com/2010/07/06/convert-copy-protected-pdfs-to-unprotected-using-two-simple-commands-in-ubuntu/
[15:54] <psion> how can I modify the places menu on the top bar? when I go to edit, it only allows editing system & applications
[15:54] <wildc4rd> jrib, pass on the driver, not sure how to check it, just plugged in monitor with a file playing in vlc, as soon as I clicked on monitor preferences to enable it the video went, still got sound
[15:54] <jrib> wildc4rd: what video card?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> psion: if you drag things to nautilus' left panel, they will appear in the places menu
[15:55] <psion> thanks

[15:56] <ngirard> Hi all. How can I get the dependancy list of a package on the command line ?
[15:57] <Enissay> Hi all, i need help please with my UNCLAIMED wifi device since i installed 10.04... thanks
[15:57] <wildc4rd> jrib, mplayer is the same, the moment the second monitor is enabled I lose video content
[15:57] <jrib> ngirard: apt-cache depends   or apt-cache show
[15:57] <jrib> wildc4rd: right, I'm asking if you enable verbose output, is there any difference in the output when you start it in the two different scenarios
[15:57] <ngirard> jrib: perfect, thanks
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> shiftingcontrol: not finding much but you could put it in a password protected archive
[15:59] <n00by> wat does ./autogen.sh do guys ?
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> shiftingcontrol: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24215/
[16:00] <ServerTechPro> How do i create a new directory with commands?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechPro: mkdir foldername
[16:00] <ServerTechPro> thx
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechPro: obv you will need sudo if you dont have write access
[16:01] <ServerTechPro> What is "mkdir -p" used for?
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> ServerTechPro: it means that if you specify a folder in some subfolders that dont exists, then the other folders will be created too, rather than give an error
[16:02] <ServerTechPro> Thank You :)
[16:02] <wildc4rd> jrib, can you clarify 'enable verbose output' please

[16:06] <jrib> gabox: cool
[16:06] <diego> ciao
[16:06] <dpac> Mba7eth, you can use 'split' to split files into multiple parts and use 'cat' to join them back.
[16:07] <gryllida> how do I change user's password in cli?
[16:07] <jrib> wildc4rd: just check mplayer's options so that it gives verbose output
[16:07] <jrib> gryllida: passwd
[16:07] <gryllida> ok

[16:14] <oukourj> I have a bridge done with brctl on an ubuntu machine with eth0 = RJ45 and eth1  = Wifi (this interface connects to my ADSL router); after making `dhclient mybridge` i get an IP and am able to access the internet but my WinXP machine (connected with RJ45) cant, though it can ping the IP of `mybridge`... any idea ?

[16:15] <Brutus> i need a ftp server on my box, what is the easiest one that works with CLI?
[16:15] <Brutus> no GUI available
[16:15] <focusone> Brutus: get a ssh server...
[16:15] <focusone> ftp is very secure...
[16:15] <focusone> UN!... lol
[16:16] <mgolisch> peter__: probably or change the config file to have it loaded automaticaly
[16:16] <Brutus> lol
[16:16] <Brutus> it's for internal network
[16:16] <Brutus> so it doesn't matter
[16:16] <focusone> yeah...
[16:16] <peter__> mgolisch, okay. :-) Thx again
[16:16] <Brutus> ftp is way faster
[16:16] <focusone> ssh and use winscp to connect to it..
[16:16] <Brutus> i don't wan't to use ssh since it's to slow for sending hundreds of gigabytes of data. what is an easy to configure ftp server?
[16:16] <focusone> proftpd

[16:21] <wildc4rd> jrib, yes
[16:21] <Brutus> it's internal only. no port 21 forwarding
[16:21] <focusone> ok..
[16:22] <bitreader> BluesKaj, Before I start installing too much software, I'd like to know how to get the latest software. I know the repositories I have are the default (10.04 LTS) ones, and I'm pretty sure most of the libraries and software there is probably outdated by now.
[16:22] <focusone> Can someone help me with trouble shooting my MIC issue...   Thanks..
[16:22] <aetaric> bitreader: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:23] <krzysz00> focusone: is your mic muted in volume control?

[16:23] <focusone> krzysz00: No..
[16:23] <BlueEagle> bitreader: Then (read: if you don't want stability) go to the upstream source and download the SVN/CVS source code and build from there.

[16:24] <BluesKaj> bitreader, open your software sources in package manager and enable all the repos , canonical partners and other software sources , except the cdrom repos , then sudo aptitude update
[16:24] <krzysz00> krzysz00: well, idk then
[16:24] <focusone> krzysz00: but I try to record a test there is no sound coming out..
[16:24] <aetaric> bitreader: apt-get or aptitude, whatever floats your boat
[16:24] <krzysz00> how many mic jacks do u have on ur comp focusone ?
[16:24] <focusone> one..
[16:25] <focusone> well I have Master PCM Digital options in kmix..
[16:25] <i_is_broke> anyone got a belkin wireless adapter working in ubuntu? if so anyone know where the docs. are for it?
[16:25] <focusone> under unput there is 2 mics..
[16:25] <focusone> external and internal..
[16:26] <BlueEagle> !belkin
[16:26] <BlueEagle> !wireless | i_is_broke
[16:26] <jrib> wildc4rd: that says interesting things about your drivers.  How does mplayer do if you specify "-vo x11"?
[16:26] <BluesKaj> i_is_broke, I have a belkin usb wifi adapter , but I haven't been able to get it to work since jaunty
[16:27] <krzysz00> focusone: so i don;t know what could be happening
[16:27] <gryllida> how do I grant user `john` permission to read and write file `myfile` ?
[16:27] <gryllida> in cli
[16:27] <focusone> I think its a dirver issue..
[16:27] <i_is_broke> BluesKaj, hey hows it going? and great...whats a good one to use then?
[16:27] <gryllida> ?
[16:28] <BlueEagle> gryllida: Is john the owner of the file? Is John a member of the group that the file belongs to?
[16:28] <gryllida> BlueEagle: I think so
[16:28] <gryllida> he made the file
[16:28] <jrib> wildc4rd: could be that you're actually running out of video memory.  1) Is it one of those shared memory type setups?  2) Have you tried disabling compiz?
[16:28] <BlueEagle> gryllida: please provide the output of `ls -l filename`
[16:28] <BluesKaj> i_is_broke, I don't know , I switched to ethernet ...it's much faster moving data around on our network anyway
[16:29] <gryllida> BlueEagle: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root
[16:29] <BlueEagle> gryllida: I see. And this is a file that john should own but it was made while john were doing sudo?
[16:29] <BlueEagle> gryllida: sudo chown john:john filename
[16:30] <focusone> here is my mic erro http://pastebin.com/iqNfmgYv
[16:30] <gryllida> BlueEagle: er. it was made by john, then root user changed permission ( I don't know how), then I have root too and want to change it back
[16:30] <gryllida> BlueEagle: ok
[16:30] <BlueEagle> gryllida: chown will change the owner of the file.
[16:30] <bitreader> aetaric, BluesKaj The reason I asked is because for instance... I just installed xchat, issuing 'sudo aptitude install xchat', and it installed 2.8.6 version, yet xchat is running around 2.8.9 by now.
[16:31] <BlueEagle> gryllida: If john is a member of the group root you can `chmod g+rw filename` which will allow the group to read/write it.
[16:31] <focusone> I'm trying to install a mic driver here is the output ..  Thanks...      http://pastebin.com/iqNfmgYv
[16:31] <S0lder> I'm having some trouble with ubuntu if anyone could help.
[16:32] <BlueEagle> gryllida: But I think you want john to be the owner of the file in most cases.
[16:32] <pdk> what would be a good equivalent to hardinfo that works on amd64
[16:32] <dpac> S0lder, just fire the question.
[16:32] <focusone> S0lder: whats the problem..
[16:32] <BlueEagle> !ask | S0lder
[16:33] <S0lder> Sometimes when I load ubuntu it doesn't load the window border with the close, maximize, etc. buttons.
[16:33] <wildc4rd> jrib, with it set to x11 it now plays, I get an error message saying Unsupported Pixelformat -1
[16:33] <duffydack> bitreader, http://theubuntunews.blogspot.com/2010/06/install-or-update-xchat-288-on-ubuntu.html
[16:33] <BluesKaj> i_is_broke, which belkin usb adapter ?
[16:34] <dpac> S0lder, When that happens, press Alt+f2 and type metacity and press enter
[16:34] <Nikkie> Folks, need a help...I've tried all possibilities n landed here..How do i view and edit visio files(.vsd) in ubuntu 10.04
[16:35] <i_is_broke> BluesKaj,  thats what im looking for, it doesnt give me a chipset with lsusb it just says belkin
[16:35] <switch10_> pdk: hardinfo works on 64 bit
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> Nikkie: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=995496
[16:35] <BluesKaj> bitreader, aptitude tends to install the more stable apps with stable dependencies , but you can try apt-get if you wish, but i doubt there will be any difference
[16:35] <intrader> metaric, what I know about it the repositories that ubuntu uses, is that they contain the latest of the software that has been accepted into that repository.
[16:35] <pdk> haha never mind there
[16:35] <pdk> apparently it was dumb and using the old listing in the package manager
[16:36] <pdk> before updating the cache it was all "SORRY NO HARDINFO FOR 64" but now we're good
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Nikkie: you may have to shell out for visio if not
[16:36] <Hilikus> every time i start my system i get prompted to unlock my keyring saying it did not get unlocked when i log in. how do i make it so that it does get automatically unlocked? i have auto-login set up
[16:36] <BluesKaj> i_is_broke, is this a built in belkin or a usb
[16:36] <i_is_broke> BluesKaj, its a usb. n150
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Hilikus: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/
[16:36] <BluesKaj> oops redundant question
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> Hilikus: if you set no keyring password you dont get bothered for that
[16:37] <Nikkie> @ActionParsnip - Didn't get you !
[16:37] <^Cheeky> hi , how can i have my silimilar windows open and form a stack or somesort instead of opening different windows like if i open FF and then another FF window it would take up more space in the horizonal pannel at the bottom,  cant they be stacked, or when i open file browser every time .. a new window opens up for each one cant i have it open or maximize only one nautilus file browser window ?
[16:37] <pdk> kinda sucks that the temperature readings in hardinfo are blank right now but hey
[16:37] <BluesKaj> i_is_broke, maybe this tutorial using ndiswrapper will work for you , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin%20F5D8053?highlight=%28ManufacturerModel%29|%28AND%29
[16:38] <i_is_broke> BluesKaj, ill take a look at it...thanks

[16:38] <BluesKaj> i_is_broke, or this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[16:39] <yalex> hello, session management doesn't appear to be working with my ubuntu lucid install?
[16:40] <Hilikus> thanks ActionParsnip , i'll test it
[16:41] <paperboy> how do i check my distro version  i tried uname -a and -r and i get some weird result .. no actual name
[16:41] <jrib> !version | paperboy
[16:41] <paperboy> i dont have ubuntu
[16:42] <paperboy> trying to find out what i have.
[16:42] <jrib> paperboy: this channel is for ubuntu support.  That command works on many distros however.
[16:42] <stercor> How do I fix this:  configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables?
[16:43] <jrib> stercor: you use APT instead of compiling
[16:43] <stercor> jrib: I need to compile.
[16:43] <jrib> stercor: what is it exactly that you need to compile?
[16:43] <dpac> paperboy, http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/07/04/howto-find-out-your-linux-distribution-name-and-version-through-command-line/
[16:43] <stercor> The crypto addition to SQLite.
[16:44] <dpac> paperboy, That will help you find out. FYI, it was written by me. :)
[16:45] <nicky> hi
[16:45] <jrib> stercor: what is it *exactly* that you need to compile?
[16:45] <nicky> i have a problem my computer is over heating and i dont know what to do
[16:45] <jrib> !compile > stercor
[16:45] <nicky> i just moved to a new location and before moving the temperature for the cpu on realtemp seems fine. but now wen i put it on load it goes to 100 degrees celsius :|!!!!!!
[16:46] <jrib> stercor: if you want to do it the right way, answer my question, otherwise ignore me and read ubottu
[16:47] <stercor> AFAIK, there are not precompiled packages.
[16:47] <bullkram> anyone else experiencing high cpu spikes when using google chrome?
[16:47] <wildc4rd> jrib, I can now at least watch media, nice one, any thoughts on why it dosn't work in VLC or why bbc iplayer no longer works? it was working OK yesterday under karmic in the same hardware config
[16:47] <magnetron> nicky: look if there are any dust balls stuck in the CPU cooler
[16:47] <magnetron> bullkram: probably
[16:47] <BluesKaj> jrib, he did mention The crypto addition to SQLite
[16:48] <Phil_B> hey all...I'm thinking of formatting my Acer Aspire One ZG5 and switching to Ubuntu.  Is there anything I need to know, or is it easier to just install 10.04 without formatting?
[16:48] <jrib> BluesKaj: I saw that, apparently there's more than one solution though
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> Phil_B: make 3 partitions, / swap and /home
[16:48] <^Cheeky> \]=--=23452576\]==
[16:48] <^Cheeky> sorry
[16:48] <BluesKaj> Phil_B, do you want to keep windows , if so you can dual boot windows and ubuntu
[16:49] <BluesKaj> jrib, ok
[16:49] <Phil_B> I'm dual booting from a USB stick right now, but if it's easy enough I'd like to format my HD and just install 10.04.
[16:49] <ipatrol> Had a mishap with a VM and a hard shutdown, thank god I saved the boot ISO
[16:50] <ipatrol> fsck took care of it
[16:50] <vncsnvs> Phil_B, do u know virtualbox?
[16:50] <BluesKaj> Phil_B, then do what ActionParsnip suggested
[16:50] <ipatrol> vncnvs: I'm on one
[16:50] <Phil_B> not familiar with virtualbox unfortunately
[16:50] <vncsnvs> Phil_B, no problem, it's very very easy.
[16:50] <vncsnvs> throw away your windows.
[16:50] <Phil_B> I'm also a total nub when it comes to partitions and whatnot, any links to walkthroughs or anything?
[16:50] <ipatrol> vncsnvs: I am on a virtual box, you can ask me
[16:51] <focusone> sorry got disconnected..
[16:51] <BluesKaj> virtuals are pita , not worth the trouble IMO , but that's me :)
[16:51] <ipatrol> I just recovered form a partition error
[16:51] <vncsnvs> step 1: throw away windows from HD. step 2: install windows on a VM step3
[16:51] <vncsnvs> step 3: be happy
[16:51] <vncsnvs> BlueEagle, pita ? whats this ?
[16:51] <BluesKaj> vncsnvs, be happy with VB probs , right :)
[16:51] <ipatrol> vncsnvs: you need to be careful to transfer the license
[16:52] <focusone> Here is the mic error one more time...  Thanks..   http://pastebin.com/TDZecDv0
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> Phil_B: use custom partitioning, write a new file allocation table and make / about 6Gb make sawp equal to your RAM mount if you have 2Gb ram or more (or 2xRAM if you have less) then use the rest for /home. Make them all ex4 except swap which has its own
[16:52] <ipatrol> it's better to convert your current drive to a VDI
[16:52] <Adluc> Hello, im booting ubuntu from CD, on my computer at home, it works fine. Now im at friend and installing it, it ask me for language, then choosing to try ubuntu - Now its in terminal instead of desktop like it should , and keep saying BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s
[16:52] <vncsnvs> BluesKaj, ok, if u like to pay, buy vmware, if want something professional, use XEN :D
[16:52] <Adluc> Here is nothing for live CD
[16:52] <Adluc> on google
[16:52] <vncsnvs> BluesKaj, i don't c many problems with VB
[16:52] <ipatrol> vncsnvs: VBox is fine if you know how to use it
[16:53] <stercor> jrib: I did what ubottu said.  The problem remains.
[16:53] <BluesKaj> who said anything about vmware , vncsnvs , why are you promoting virtuals anyway , the guy just wants to run ubuntu
[16:53] <vncsnvs> ipatrol, vbox is one of the most fine stuff 4 virtualization.
[16:53] <ipatrol> vncsnvs: true that
[16:53] <Adluc> Can somebody please help me ?
[16:53] <a16BitSoft> anyone know where I can download VirtualBox DEB install file for Ubuntu 10.10 32bit Beta?
[16:53] <focusone> Adluc: wiht?
[16:53] <ipatrol> Phil_B: so you want to dual boot?
[16:53] <vncsnvs> BluesKaj, first, install virtualbox on ur ubuntu, we talk later
[16:54] <paperboy> dpac: Thank you.
[16:54] <vncsnvs> a16BitSoft, ubuntu software center? ??? apt-get install virtualbox ?
[16:54] <Adluc> Im booting ubuntu from CD, on my computer at home, it works fine. Now im at friend and installing it, it ask me for language, then choosing to try ubuntu - Now its in terminal instead of desktop like it should , and keep saying BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s
[16:54] <ipatrol> just run the CD with windows still an and allocate at least 15 GBs to Ubuntu
[16:54] <Phil_B> gotcha ActionParsnip ...3 partitions, one 6GB, one either equal to ram mount if 2GB+, 2xRAM if less, remainder for home...all ext4
[16:54] <Adluc> I cannot
[16:54] <Adluc> windows which is there is locked
[16:54] <Adluc> it was demo for 30days
[16:55] <Castbound> hello guys I have a problem with my wless when running ubuntu, yesterday someone post me a thread where there was a windows side fix, related to something windows closes and linux can open. I have reimaged my pc now and lost those logs, anyone can help? my wless card is a: brandcom 4313 802.11b/g/n realtek pcie fe familly controller
[16:55] <ipatrol> Adluc: ubuntu does not expire
[16:55] <dpac> paperboy, So which distro are you using?
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Phil_B: indeed, if you have like 4Gb RAM then I wouldnt bother with swap unless you are doing some intense stuff
[16:55] <ipatrol> if it does, you don't have ubuntu
[16:55] <Adluc> I know, but I cannot get to windows which is installed on computer where Iwant ubuntu
[16:55] <Adluc> But from CD, it doesnt do what should
[16:55] <Adluc> it keeps telling me error
[16:55] <Phil_B> does size of the /home partition matter?  I've only got an 8.1GB HD on this netbook..
[16:55] <ipatrol> Adluc: is the computer 3s bit or 64 bit?
[16:55] <st__> what the hell is going on with channel?
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> Adluc: you can mount the NTFS and copy off your wubi setup
[16:56] <Phil_B> only 1Gb ram, so I'd assume I need the swap
[16:56] <eraggo> Adluc: did you burn it to CD with imgburner?
[16:56] <ipatrol> st__: too many cooks, not enough stoves
[16:56] <Adluc> Nero, that CD is fine, it works at home
[16:56] <Adluc> but here it doesnt, its new computer
[16:56] <ipatrol> Adluc: does he have a 64 bit computer?
[16:57] <Adluc> Im not sure, not mine
[16:57] <ipatrol> Adluc: find out
[16:57] <Falcz> Hi, my computer has a intel extreme graphics i845 and everything is fine except for very jumpy 3d rendering. Any help would be much appreciated
[16:57] <ipatrol> 64 bit machines need 64 bit ubuntu
[16:57] <Adluc> I cannot reburn that CD
[16:57] <Adluc> Damn
[16:57] <a16BitSoft> vncsnvs - I want the non OSE version of VirtualBox for 10.10 Beta
[16:57] <Adluc> Here is 24 kB/s internet
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> ipatrol:  they can run 32bit just fune..
[16:57] <ipatrol> Adluc: you can download a new copy
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> ipatrol: 64bit CPU can run 32bit OS
[16:57] <vncsnvs> a16BitSoft, nice, go to www.virtualbox.org
[16:58] <knolls> ipatrol: do they need it, or does it just run better?  i use 32bit with 64 bit processor
[16:58] <ipatrol> ActionParsnip: unless thay lack proprt emulation
My machine is64bit but i'm using 32bit ubuntu n just works fine
[16:58] <ipatrol> knolls: it depends, the hardware has to have 32 bit emulation to work
[16:58] <Nikkie> @ActionParsnip - What do you mean by shell out ?
[16:58] <Adluc> When I choose to install ubuntu, it gets me to terminal,after minute it starts X, with black screen
[16:58] <Adluc> nothing else
[16:58] <ipatrol> most do, but a few small computers don't
[16:58] <st__> all 64bit processors are born as 32bit
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> Adluc:  and whats the video card/chipset?
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> Adluc: did you MD5 test the file you downloaded to make the CD / USB?
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> Adluc: if you made a CD did you test the CD for defects once booted to?
[16:59] <Adluc> That CD is fine, it already installed from it 3 times
[16:59] <pdk> 64 bit intel/amd cpus support 32 bit "emulation" by design
[16:59] <Adluc> *I
[17:01] <ipatrol> Adluc: download a new copy from the website, do a checksum, and try booting it, installing ubuntu right at the boot menu. Do not pass LiveCD, do not collect 200MBs. Partition it and GRUB will dual boot for you
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> Adluc: then test CD for defects just in case then this may help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[17:01] <Adluc> I mean
[17:01] <Adluc> Its not live CD
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> Adluc: so its a USB / SD card?
[17:01] <ipatrol> Adluc: all ubuntu CDs are live CDs
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> It may be a good test to try some alterantive disrtos also like tiny-core linux - see if they have any issues (its just a 10mb download)
[17:02] <ipatrol> tinycore, damn small linux, puppy linux
[17:02] <Adluc> on my laptop, when I boot it, it asks me for language in desktop
[17:02] <Adluc> Here it doesnt
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> Adluc:  what version of ubuntu is tyhis?
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> xpud rocks too, boots the fastest of any linux i've seen
[17:02] <Adluc> 10.04
[17:02] <ipatrol> Adluc: describe the laptop's chips/cards/features in more detail
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> Adluc:  if you hit space when you see some icons at the bottom it should pop up a menu and ask for the language and let you select some other options
[17:03] <edbian> <IP_ADDRESS>/24 == 192.168.0.(1 - 254)   correct?
[17:03] <Castbound> hello guys I have a problem with my wless when running ubuntu, yesterday someone post me a thread where there was a windows side fix, related to something windows closes and linux can open.
