[14:57] <LjL> ActionParsnip: usually files the user cares about *are* in $HOME
[14:57] <cordoval> i mean ok for now
[14:57] <cordoval> before going crazy
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: ok, renboot and make it go crazy then run the command I gave. DOes it make it ok?
[14:58] <cordoval> renboot?
[14:58] <Pici> LjL, ActionParsnip: this is the kind of thing that mktemp should be used for.
[14:58] <cordoval> ok, can you tell me which actions to take either if it does not repeat or if it does repeat?
[14:58] <cordoval> what do you think it was or it could be?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> LjL: yes but they are the users own files, sure if the file exists it will be overwritten etc, but users should know a little about their filenames and change them if it conflicts
[14:58] <LjL> Pici: i guess, although i gave a command that worked just fine even before the whole thing with "info" started
[14:58] <Naeblis> sipior, getting an error in this as well.
[14:59] <Naeblis> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[14:59] <Naeblis> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[14:59] <sipior> Pici: or process substitution.
[14:59] <sipior> Naeblis: sorry, prepend a "sudo" to that, of course.
[14:59] <Naeblis> I did that.
[14:59] <xfilesman> hi can any one help me about some ting
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> xfilesman: ask away
[14:59] <sipior> Naeblis: ah, shut down the software center first :-)
[15:00] <sipior> Naeblis: simultaneous access is a problem.
[15:00] <evoandroidevo> does anyone know what tor is? i keep geting an error when i try to run it
[15:00] <xfilesman> you can help me
[15:00] <Naeblis> ah
[15:00] <Teddy1> i got problems with thunderbird, i got the error fips 140 all the time
[15:00] <Naeblis> wait. sipior, software center isn't open. :(
[15:01] <cordoval> thanks ActionParsnip
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: does it work?
[15:01] <sipior> Naeblis: and you are typing "sudo apt-get update"?
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: we can make it automatic if it is
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> xfilesman: what is the issue?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> !fixapt | Naeblis
[15:02] <Naeblis> sipior, I typed exactly this:  sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:02] <sipior> Naeblis: one at a time. sudo won't apply to the second expression.
[15:02] <Teddy1> can somebody give me a hint when they could help me with a little something regarding thunderbird in 10.10
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: try the command ubottu gave
[15:02] <xfilesman> what you mean
[15:03] <Pici> xfilesman: You need to ask a question here before we can help you.
[15:03] <xfilesman> any one here know server mail ( iredmail )
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | xfilesman
[15:05] <Teddy1> i need help with fips 140 validation, it ask for a pass, but i dont use it, but suddenly thunderbird ask for it and i cant save my draft without it, tried to install it again, but no help..
[15:05] <Naeblis> sipior, still not installing. Tried ActionParsnip's command as well.
[15:06] <melvincv> have I joined #ubuntu or #ubuntu-unregged? (confused)
[15:06] <worre> what program should I use to make .img files?
[15:06] <sipior> Naeblis: which now? the update and dist-upgrade complete successfully, or not?
[15:06] <xfilesman> ActionParsnip you can help me in server iRedmail
[15:07] <sharkmap> please help with a new user basic install onto a second drive. what does the error "no root file system is defined. please correct this from the partition menu" mean?
[15:07] <Naeblis> sipior, both did. Chromium still isn't installing.
[15:07] <hot2trot> sorry, I know this isn't ubuntu specific, but #mplayer is asleep.  I need to load an .srt file with a .avi file in mplayer, but don't know how.  I know I press 'j' to toggle them, but just putting the .srt file in the same directory does not indicate to mplayer that there is a subtitle file, anyone know how to do this
[15:07] <sipior> Naeblis: and the error?
[15:07] <Naeblis> same
[15:07] <hot2trot> quick google search yields topics more complicated than the basic problem
[15:07] <private_meta> Hi What would be the best way to read out (c++) the cpu speed of your cores in ubuntu? I did that on redhat and other OS before and it could be found in "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq", but the cpufreq folder doesn't seem to exist in ubuntu
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> xfilesman: not used it, sorry
[15:08] <xfilesman> ok
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> xfilesman: if you post your question, people may reply
[15:08] <mneptok> Naeblis: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:08] <xfilesman> i need any information for any server mail i can install it and create mails on it
[15:08] <sipior> Naeblis: does "apt-get install -f" help at all?
[15:09] <mneptok> sipior: i'd include "sudo" in any and all commands you suggest that require it.
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> worre: you can use dd_rescue to make an image of a partition etc
[15:09] <Naeblis> nope. Still nothing. :(
[15:10] <Naeblis> ans sipior, it doesn't.
[15:10] <sipior> mneptok: you can do as you like.
[15:10] <mneptok> Naeblis: "nothing?" you get no error messages of any kind?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: can you pastebin the output of ubottus command please
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> mneptok: great minds eh

[15:15] <Tostada> I'm running 11.10 x64.. I installed a theme called "Elementary Dark" using Synaptic package manager, now the package manager will open but immediately  closes. Would anybody have time to look at my log file.? Thanks.. : )
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: any output after the done line except the prompt?
[15:15] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, no.
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: ok, run:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano     what is output?
[15:15] <mneptok> Naeblis: so "update" is working. what error does "sudo apt-get upgrade" give? pastebin that.
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> Tostada: install it in a terminal, the output will be useful
[15:16] <Teddy1> if you know about fips 140 validation please send me a pm
[15:16] <celthunder> Tostada: is there a lock file yet? and apt-get install something to see real output
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Teddy1: could try the mozilla channel
[15:17] <Teddy1> ActionParsnip: just #mozilla ?
[15:17] <Tostada> I haven't used linux for years so I'm a little daft at this point.
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> Teddy1: worth a try

[15:17] <eLMartin> hi, whats the best way to get a kvm2 connected over network? a lvm2 on the host, in the kvm2 a nfs. mount the nfs at the client and then another lvm2 on the nfs? could this result in a bad performance?
[15:17] <eLMartin> kvm2 -> lvm2
[15:17] <Tostada> celthunder.. sorry I'm not sure what a lock file is.
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: perfect, ok run:  sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: so far you have no issue

[15:18] <subb1> greetings all !!
[15:18] <Tostada> I did find some information about it in the auth.log
[15:19] <worre> ActionParsnip: can that comman make true .img files?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> Tostada: sudo apt-get install elementary-dark    maybe, its not an official package so you will need to find that if you get an error
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> worre: that will be an ISO file, is that sufficient?
[15:19] <subb1> the initrd.img-2.*  image file is loaded into ram by kernel during the boot process. After this step, where is this initrd image decomprsd and mounted on?
[15:19] <worre> i need an image file that can be booted from grub
[15:20] <worre> and iso wont work
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> Tostada: seems the package name is elementary-dark-theme
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> worre: grub2 can boot ISO files
[15:21] <worre> ActionParsnip: How? i just get file not found and file not supported errors
[15:22] <auronandace> !grub2 | worre
[15:22] <Naeblis> heh. I don't think I'm gonna use Chromium after this. Thanks for the help! You guys are awesome!
[15:22] <Tostada> After it didn't work when I installed it with synaptic I did install it with the Ubuntu software center and it worked.. just that now Synaptic no longer works.
[15:23] <auronandace> !fixapt | Tostada
[15:24] <wi-nick> @search History of MIddle-earth
[15:24] <Tostada> ubottu, I pasted that line into a terminal and it ran but synaptic still won't stay open.
[15:25] <BadKarma> a quick question re libapache-mod-php5, it is built by default with suhosin, right?
[15:26] <auronandace> Tostada: what is the output in a terminal if you type synaptic
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> worre: http://pastie.org/3289403
[15:26] <mneptok> auronandace: "gksu synaptic" ;)
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: then your packages are square and you are fully upto date
[15:26] <WhitePelican> join #kubuntu
[15:26] <Pici> BadKarma: yes.
[15:26] <auronandace> mneptok: thanks, long day :)
[15:27] <mneptok> auronandace: i feel the same, and have been awake for ~90 minutes :/
[15:27] <BadKarma> Pici: fantastic, glad to see we are on the same page, then here is the problem... I've also installed php5-suhosin (extension) and trying to use suhosin.sql.user_prefix which I understand would limit what users can login to the database over scripts
[15:28] <Pici> BadKarma: Unfortunately, thats where my knowledge of php ends :(
[15:28] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, yup. Chromium still won't install though. :)
[15:28] <BadKarma> Pici: not to worry, thanks anyway :)
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: ok, what is the output of:  sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[15:29] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/AS0aE9FM
[15:29] <exat> hey there?
[15:29] <Tostada> auronandace it does the same thing.. opens and immediately closes.
[15:30] <auronandace> Tostada: and what does it say in the terminal?
[15:30] <mar> i locking for program like a vygis for ubuntu 10.04 (for unlock the mobile phone)...tnx
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: and the output of:  uname -a; lsb_release -a     Thanks

[15:32] <Teddy1> have it come another program for silverlight instead of moonlight that works? If it has, wich commands?
[15:32] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/FVtxiGkB
[15:32] <Teddy1> for firefox 9
[15:32] <LjL> Teddy1: not realloy
[15:33] <Teddy1> LjL:  ok, but i read that some(maybe 10-20 people i have read made it possible)
[15:33] <auronandace> Tostada: i've never seen that before, what ubuntu are you using?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: http://eftakhairul.com/resolve-the-dependencylibnss3-1d-while-installing-google-chrome-in-ubuntu/
[15:33] <LjL> Teddy1: i'm not aware of any Moonlight alternative. but maybe i'm wrong.
[15:34] <Tostada> Auronandace 11.10 x64
[15:34] <Teddy1> no i dont think it is any alternative, but i was thinking about a way to get silverlivt to work maybe_
[15:34] <Teddy1> ?
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: or try:  sudo apt-get -f install
[15:34] <OerHeks> Teddy1, moonlight 4 works, download it, rename to *.xpi and firefox 8/9/10 will install it.
[15:34] <mohanr2222_2> guys, i'd like to change the position of the notifications (gnome shell) so that it doesn't interfere with my dock.. is it possible?
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> Teddy1: firefox in wine, not sure how stable it will be
[15:34] <Tostada> The auth.log says: cannot determine display-device
[15:35] <auronandace> Tostada: you can ask someone more knowledgable in here, also if you want you can check to see if a bug has been filed for it
[15:35] <Teddy1> ActionParsnip:  That unstable, but wich one is the most stable wine version?
[15:35] <Teddy1> OerHeks: Really that easy? Ok i will try..
[15:36] <Tostada> auronandace, Thank you.
[15:36] <auronandace> Tostada: no worries, sorry i couldn't be more help :)
[15:36] <Tostada> : )
[15:36] <Teddy1> what is the command for renaming in console again :-[
[15:36] <auronandace> Teddy1: mv
[15:37] <grendal-prime> no more gvfs?
[15:37] <grendal-prime> did i hear that right?
[15:37] <grendal-prime> if i dist upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 what do i have to do to get ext4
[15:37] <Tostada> auronandace, could you explain what the line that I pasted means or does.?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> Teddy1: I'd go for 1.3, check the appdb to see which makes it work better
[15:37] <auronandace> grendal-prime: you'd need to reformat, so a fresh install would be better
[15:38] <auronandace> Tostada: i'm not sure myself sorry
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: you can convert but you will not get the full feature set of ext4 if memory serves
[15:38] <Tostada> k, thanks.
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-convert-ext3-to-ext4-file-system.html
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: I have gvfs here in precise
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: is it dropping in now?
[15:39] <Teddy1> auronandace: Ok thnx, do you know how to fix the problem with fips 140 validation in thunderbird to? It ask's for master password suddenly
[15:40] <auronandace> Teddy1: i don't know what fips 140 is and i don't use thunderbird, sorry
[15:40] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, I don't know why, but it still won't install.
[15:40] <lotuspsychje> any incredimail lookalikes for ubuntu>?
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: can you run:  sudo apt-get -f install     and pastebin the output. Thanks
[15:41] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, based on the instructions from that blog: http://pastebin.com/TH4J6Nm3
[15:41] <mneptok> Teddy1: FIPS-140 is a guideline document. not a piece of technology.
[15:42] <melvincv> I still did not get those IRC commands, anyway, I'll note down the ones I'm given at #freenode.
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: looks like thunderbird to me
[15:42] <mneptok> Teddy1: you need to figure out what underlying FIPS-140 cryptography/security is being used, and configure that corectly.
[15:42] <gain_> hi all
[15:43] <mneptok> Teddy1: coulf be GPG. could be S/MIME. could be anything that complies with the FIPS-140 guidelines.
[15:43] <lotuspsychje> ActionParsnip: my aunte uses thunderbird and she says email sending speed gets stuck some times
[15:43] <Teddy1> mneptok: yeah i know, but i dont know how, and i dont why it activated
[15:43] <Naeblis> I first aborted the apt-get install -f. got a different error. Then when I ran the command the next time, it showed the same old error.
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: do you have the universe repo enabled?
[15:44] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, I don't know how to check..?
[15:44] <Teddy1> ive used thunderbird a loong time, suddenly it happend some hours ago
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: run:  pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:44] <gain_> I have this error when I restart apache: [Tue Jan 31 15:41:54 2012] [warn] worker ajp://localhost:8009/idp already used by another worker
[15:45] <melvincv> What's the best solution for encrypting files? ZIP, RAR, GPG or Truecrypt? It should be easy to use.
[15:45] <gain_> but I dunno how to verify how is the worker that use the port
[15:45] <gain_> *whoù
[15:45] <gain_> *who
[15:45] <jrib> melvincv: best is subjective

[15:45] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/823966/
[15:46] <LjL> Naeblis: having backports enabled but updates and security disabled doesn't sound like a great idea, does it
[15:47] <melvincv> jrib, subjective? I know that packages have strange names, but do I have to search for that?
[15:47] <jiffe98> so it appears I can't have both mysql-cluster-server andlibdbd-mysql-perl installed due to dependency problems ?
[15:48] <quiescens> LjL: they.. don't appear to have backports enabled?
[15:48] <yang_> ??
[15:48] <LjL> quiescens: ah it's true, sorry
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: looks fine, you just dont have backports or proposed enabled which is fine, you may need to use the same method to satisfy the deps using packages.ubuntu.com
[15:48] <jrib> melvincv: I mean your question has no good answer.  Different programs are better at different things.  "The best" is only an opinion
[15:48] <carbon60> Anyone familiar with setting up upstart configs? I have a simple Python script that I want to start as a specific kid.
[15:49] <carbon60> s/kid/uid/
[15:49] <jrib> melvincv: my advice for you to try them all and use the one that works best /for you/
[15:49] <LjL> ActionParsnip: athough not having security is kinda...
[15:49] <espinosa> hola
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> LjL: security in what way?
[15:49] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i mean the security repo
[15:49] <espinosa> kien eres
[15:50] <quiescens> I really wish apt-get would be more helpful in situations like that, some sort of description of the dependancy problem, rather than just saying "dependancy problems" and nothing else
[15:50] <LjL> !es | espinosa
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> LjL: aaaah
[15:50] <melvincv> jrib, ok, is there any of those that I shouldn't try as it is not secure?
[15:50] <LjL> ActionParsnip: also, i'd imagine most people have the updates repo
[15:50] <LjL> melvincv: ZIP is not a good idea.
[15:50] <espinosa> hola
[15:50] <sinan> i'm on 11.10, the menubar of the terminal is not getting "merged" into the "top panel"; it appears underneath as a separate menu bar. Any ideas?
[15:50] <LjL> espinosa: para español /join #ubuntu-es
[15:50] <jrib> melvincv: I'd imagine gpg and truecrypt are well-vetted, I don't know about the others
[15:51] <indystorm> I created a symbolic link from bash and I cannot access it via ftp.... it shows up as a file, and not a directory, any idea how I can access this? Also- I cannot see the link at all on my Windows network using samba on ubuntu server.... How can I fix this?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> LjL: can you advise him/her any please?
[15:51] <zykotick9> indystorm: are you using a chroot with your FTP?
[15:51] <indystorm> I don't know what a chroot is? I am new to ubuntu....
[15:52] <LjL> ActionParsnip: i haven't really followed the entire discussion so not sure about the actual problem, but i'd still try enabling updates and security and then installing whatever it is they need
[15:52] <ade> j
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> LjL: packages which should be available for chromium-browser are not coming down
[15:52] <Guest7908> test
[15:52] <LjL> ActionParsnip: and it's natty?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: all I can suggest is either download the debs from packages.ubuntu.com   or uncomment the repos in sources.list and then run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install
[15:53] <melvincv> Please suggest a GNOME gui for gpg.
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> LjL: yeah, I've seen a few people online have dep issues in natty
[15:54] <LjL> ActionParsnip, Naeblis: let me review this from the logs
[15:54] <quiescens> I think I would agree with LjL, universe repo chromium most likely depends on library versions that are in updates or security repos
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/frontends.html
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> !info seahorse

[15:57] <craven222> Hi, I'm trying to change the root password on a 11.10 install. I kept  getting 'authentication token manipulation error' so I done 'mount -rw -o remount /' which let me change the password, however when I exit safe mode the computer forgets the change?
[15:57] <jrib> craven222: you realize there is no root password by default?
[15:58] <Gnea> !sudo | craven222
[15:58] <craven222> craven222: Someone else set the root password
[15:58]  * melvincv will try gnu privacy assistant first...
[15:58] <craven222> *jrib
[15:59] <jrib> craven222: in what evironment are you doing this?
[15:59] <craven222> craven222: safe-mode
[15:59] <LjL> Naeblis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/823978/ <- use this as your new /etc/apt/sources.list, then issue "sudo apt-get update", then try again installing
[15:59] <jrib> craven222: recovery mode you mean?
[15:59] <craven222> jrib: yeah
[15:59] <jrib> craven222: are you prompted for a root password to get the root shell?
[16:00] <craven222> jrib: nope
[16:00] <jrib> craven222: then you don't have a root password set
[16:00] <craven222> jrib: What do I input when I asks me for a password when trying to install programs though?
[16:00] <jrib> craven222: your user's password
[16:01] <craven222> jrib: Ah, I've been resetting it wrong.
[16:01] <craven222> Weird how it still comes up 'password change successful'
[16:01] <craven222> I was typing 'passwd' instead of 'passwd [USERNAME]'
[16:01] <jrib> craven222: what did you do to reset it?
[16:01] <urlin2u> craven222, here is a link on resetting that user password.  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[16:01] <jrib> craven222: yes, I imagine now you do have a root password
[16:02] <craven222> jrib: Dont think so
[16:02] <urlin2u> passwd just cchanges the user passord
[16:03] <urlin2u> with no sudo
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> craven222: then log in as a user whom can use sudo and lock the account
[16:03] <jrib> right, but if he's root because he's in recovery mode and issues « passwd », he has set a password for root
[16:03] <jrib> craven222: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo has instructions on how to "re-disable" the root account
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> craven222: tell the user who set the password that they are a fool
[16:05] <urlin2u> ActionParsnip, now, don't mess with tha users debian creds they might cry. :D
[16:05] <Naeblis> LjL, updating. :)

[16:09] <dr3mro> hello I use oneiric on daily bases and it works great ... 3 weeks ago i upgrded unity to unity 5.0 fro unity staging ppa then all my lenses stopped working and yet after downgrading to official unity 4 from ubuntu repositories unity lenses don't work either .. I mean the calculator and weather lenses
[16:10] <auronandace> dr3mro: using ppas is always a risk to break your system
[16:10] <davidcalle> dr3mro, where the calc and weather lenses from the Software Center? Or from a Launchpad PPA?
[16:10] <dr3mro> from both they neither work
[16:11] <davidcalle> From the PPA, they should work... I have them working.
[16:11] <dr3mro> the problem is that I dont have high speed internet only 3g USB modem and I can't make a reinstall
[16:11] <dr3mro> davidcalle, which PPA ?
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: you can use ppa-purge to remove it and go back to the older versiojn
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: do the lenses work as a fresh user?
[16:12] <davidcalle> dr3mro, https://code.launchpad.net/~scopes-packagers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=precise
[16:13] <ApplaudtheJelly> Hello
[16:14]  * auronandace doesn't understand why people who use ppas think they can install and uninstall them without any risk to their system

[16:14] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, auronandace davidcalle  I found aPPA on my system that i didn;t add it;s called app-review-board/oneiric only shown on synaptic not in software properties gtk
[16:14] <davidcalle> dr3mro, the links for the 3 packages you need (if you are on 3G) ;à
[16:15] <auronandace> davidcalle: all of them for 12.04
[16:15] <davidcalle> auronandace, yes
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: you can use ppa-purge to remove it
[16:15] <auronandace> davidcalle: then you're in the wrong channel
[16:16] <davidcalle> auronandace, I'm just answering the question for a Unity staging PPA user :)
[16:16] <auronandace> davidcalle: then offering him the option to install 12.04 ppas on 11.10?
[16:17] <csibesz> hi all
[16:17] <davidcalle> auronandace, actually the PPA is for Oneiric and Precise. But the Precise packages I've linked here work on Oneiric under Unity 5.
[16:18] <Jjon> Hey, anyone here using blogspot or.. Wordpress?
[16:18] <cellardoor> Can anyone tell me how to change my TCP RWIN window?
[16:18] <dr3mro> what is this ppa app-review-board/oneiric I didn't add it to my system ?
[16:18] <melvincv> In 'GNU privacy assistant' , what is the option called 'Armor' ?
[16:18] <Pici> Jjon: Do you have an Ubuntu question?
[16:18] <davidcalle> dr3mro, it's added when you install certain apps from the Software Center.
[16:18] <csibesz> anyone who know how to share internet ?
[16:19] <davidcalle> dr3mro, I don't know which ones exactly.
[16:19] <pangolin> !ics | csibesz
[16:19] <dr3mro> what certain apps
[16:19] <Pici> Jjon: If not, please use #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion
[16:19] <davidcalle> dr3mro, no idea.
[16:19] <csibesz> ubottu, i have 3 nettwork cards.. and with that setting dont work

[16:20] <ActionParsnip> cellardoor: seems to go in /etc/sysctl.conf   http://www.santa-li.com/linuxonbb.html
[16:20] <nsd_> I'm having a networking issue. I have two Ubuntu machines connected to a switch that is in turn connected to a wireless bridge. One of the machines (let's call it #1) has no problem utilizing the bridge to connect to the rest of the network; the other (let's call it #2), however, cannot. If I try to ping the bridge from the #2 machine, it says "destination host unreachable", but I can ping #1 from #2 and vice-versa. Both machines are configu
[16:20] <nsd_> red with static (not conflicting) IPs in /etc/network/interfaces. I'm stumped as to why I can't get the bridge to cooperate.
[16:20] <Pumpkin-> cellardoor: the sysctl value net.ipv4.tcp.tcp_rmem or something similar
[16:20] <melvincv> sipior, Thanks, so I need not use that option for encrypting files.
[16:21] <pangolin> csibesz: sorry, i don't know how to help you. I just know about the factoid.
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> cellardoor:
[16:21] <sipior> melvincv: generally not, no.
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> cellardoor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/824011/    is what I use
[16:21] <nsd_> Also ActionParsnip, your name gets me every time
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> nsd_: its an old harry hill joke?
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> :)
[16:21] <zgr> damn I've run "sudo usermod -G lp username" and now "groups" shows only "username lp" seems like I was removed from other groups, is there way to fix that?
[16:22] <nsd_> ActionParsnip: I didn't know, but even then it's pretty funny
[16:22] <Meow_><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:22] <Meow_> hello! How login?
[16:22] <nsd_> zgr: I think you might need to read the man page more carefully: I think there's two cases (-g and -G) of that switch that do slightly different things iirc
[16:22] <zykotick9> zgr: you need to use ".. usermod -aG .." the a is for append (add, instead of replace)
[16:23] <LjL> Meow_: in your status tab, do /msg nickserv identify yourpassword
[16:23] <melvincv> !:)
[16:23] <zykotick9> zgr: determine what groups are used by default, and add your user to them
[16:23] <Meow_> Please log in before attempting to verify your registration.
[16:23] <sipior> melvincv: if you were planning to paste a file into an email, it might not be a bad idea, but it's not needed for attached files/signatures.
[16:24] <zgr> nsd_ zykotick9 well I already used -G it there way to add back ubuntu default groups?
[16:24] <nsd_> Perhaps I should be using a router instead of a switch? Or do I need to manually route?
[16:24] <dymitron> hi
[16:24] <LjL> Meow_: futher help in #freenode
[16:24] <zykotick9> zgr: find out what they are, then use teh command properly
[16:24] <zgr> where is possible to find out?
[16:24] <nsd_> zgr: Try adding another user, log in as it and run 'groups'.
[16:25] <zykotick9> nsd_: they aren't in admin anymore, so no sudo
[16:25] <Meow_> LjL thanks! +1
[16:25] <nsd_> zykotick9: Yeah that's a problem.
[16:25] <Meow_> i head mail or not?
[16:25] <Meow_> please
[16:25] <melvincv> sipior, thanks :)
[16:25] <nsd_> zgr: I think you need to boot into the recovery mode to get root access then make your account a member of 'admin' again.
[16:26] <nsd_> zgr: Also, for whatever reason there should also be a group for your specific user name
[16:26] <melvincv> melvincv, !:)
[16:26] <LjL> Meow_: i don't know what you mean, but for registration help, *please* use #freenode, NOT #ubuntu
[16:27] <Meow_> #gaygeeks

[17:07] <ActionParsnip> the-light: sorry, it's this one: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=UNI_AE&CttFileID=3842451&CDCttType=DR&ModelType=N&ModelName=ML-1671&VPath=DR/201103/20110318160046127/UnifiedLinuxDriver_0.92.tar.gz
[17:08] <melvincv> PM's will not be logged at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ , right?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: afaik, no
[17:08] <the-light> ActionParsnip: tnx. yes I'm not check this printer for support
[17:08] <MonkeyDust> melvincv  PM's are not appreciated
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> the-light: please do in future, some printer companies make Linux drivers
[17:08] <shaunlake> MonkeyDust the port. it actually defines the computer in my lan
[17:08] <melvincv> PM's only for private stuff then.
[17:09] <l8nighthorscht> Elssha, i have no idea^^ maybe the is a rescue-dc for windows...or u can use the windows-install cd to repair...but then you will have to reinstall graub as well
[17:09] <Elssha> i'll google it up, now that i know which end might be broken
[17:09] <kasii> hi all
[17:09] <Elssha> ty l8nighthorscht
[17:09] <l8nighthorscht> ;-)
[17:10] <fiberoptic> hi allll of u
[17:10] <rt> flash creator in ubuntu?
[17:10] <fiberoptic> bobosomfan,
[17:10] <Arnold> Elssha, it sounds as if GRUB would access either the wrong partition, or indeed the Windows bootmanager was somehow affected
[17:10] <Arnold> By wrong partition, I mean if you have more than one or two system NTFS partitions
[17:11] <melvincv> One more question, for AMD Radeon 6450 graphics card, are the open source drivers better than the ATI drivers?
[17:11] <Elssha> i set the partition manually, Arnold
[17:11] <mbeierl> !unetbootin | rt
[17:11] <isjonas> if anyone is using a-desk and could help me it'd be great. I cannot right click the desktop once it's running
[17:11] <meberhart> melvincv - i prefer the proprietary drivers on mine
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> rt: flash is proprietary so will not exist until Adobe make an app
[17:11] <Steamopunk> melvincv- I had issues with the open source one crashing my system. Soon as I switched to the ATI drivers, no problem
[17:11] <shaunlake> MonkeyDust this didn't work
[17:11] <mbeierl> rt: or did you mean flash player?
[17:11] <the-light> ActionParsnip: Thank you man, I test this driver
[17:11] <Arnold> Could you give me the details of your partition set up?
[17:11] <Elssha> aka; original problem was that grub didn't see windows, only windows recovery partiton
[17:11] <shaunlake> MonkeyDust both computers have the same IP
[17:11] <Elssha> one min (on a diff laptop)
[17:12] <shaunlake> MonkeyDust only different  ports
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> shaunlake  you working with a router, NAT ?
[17:12] <shaunlake> MonkeyDust, yes, I have one
[17:12] <SLayeRDK> is there an ubuntu one support channel ?
[17:12] <Pici> SLayeRDK: #ubuntuone
[17:12] <SLayeRDK> ty
[17:12] <rt> mbeierl: no i want design flash website
[17:13] <rt> Actionparsnip : okkk
[17:13] <MonkeyDust> shaunlake  and is the router also DHCP, does is provide IP addresses to your computers? or have you set the IP address manually on both computers?
[17:13] <auronandace> rt: please don't, for the sanity of the web
[17:13] <sniFFe> Can someone help me set a background image for my console like backtrack has I do not use X windows?
[17:14] <isjonas> anyone using 'a-desk'?
[17:14] <rt> auronandace : why is there any wrong in using flash websites
[17:15] <isjonas> flash websites are not crawlable by search engines
[17:15] <isjonas> and they don't work across devices
[17:15] <razorfish> flash sucks
[17:15] <razorfish> dont use it
[17:15] <biohazard135> rt: flash has security issues
[17:15] <crugAvcuev2> Hi. I am having hard time trying to change MAC address. After doing so through ifconfig or macchanger it resets itself to the old one.
[17:15] <MonkeyDust> rt  and flash websites get to your nerves, everything moves the whole time
[17:15] <isjonas> flash is on it's way out
[17:15] <isjonas> HTML5 canvas, javascript will replace it wholly
[17:16] <razorfish> http://occupyflash.org/
[17:16] <auronandace> rt: i think the above comments cover why
[17:16] <Pici> !offtopic
[17:16] <bean> isjonas, they are crawlable by google.
[17:17] <bean> isaacs_, and they work on most devices.
[17:17] <isjonas> it's great to use if you want to add subtle animations or actions not nessccessary to the functionality of the site
[17:17] <reservado_> solved, thanks (firmware-b43-lpphy-instaler)
[17:17] <isjonas> bean, they don't rank as high
[17:17] <Pici> Can we move the flash/html5 conversation to a more appropriate channel, #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps?
[17:17] <Steamopunk> Afternoon. Getting another error while trying to install mysql-server. http://paste.ubuntu.com/824079/ Anyone have any insight?
[17:18] <isjonas> well nobody wants to answer my ubuntu questions!
[17:18] <biohazard135> isjonas: it would be nice if someone could help me with my problem too.
[17:18] <Pici> isjonas: Perhaps no one knows what 'a-desk' is.
[17:18] <Boreeas> I was trying to update firefox nightly, but now it gives me "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" - Any idea how to fix this?
[17:18] <isjonas> hmm... 1000s of ppl use it, this is a support channel right?
[17:19] <zgr> what is difference between /etc/group and /etc/group- ?
[17:20] <Pici> isjonas: This is the Ubuntu support channel, that doesn't mean that everyone here knows about every package.
[17:20] <auronandace> zgr: have you currently got it open in a text edito?
[17:20] <ritz_> zgr, group- is backup file , afaik
[17:20] <BussDriver> even adobe is giving up on flash.
[17:20] <BussDriver> i think that says it all.
[17:20] <zgr> auronandace: yes
[17:20] <auronandace> zgr: there you go then

[17:30] <ikonia> bobweaver: which OS has the controlling grub install ?
[17:30] <bobweaver> ikonia: mint
[17:30] <crugAvcuev2> auronandace: absolutely.

[17:36] <agentgasmask> Hi all. My keyboard gets scrambled when typing on a tightvncserver session. This happens when running gnome-session from .vnc/xstartup on both a 32 and a 64 bit install. However I only get this behaviour in the 64 bit install when running openbox-session. Any hints?
[17:36] <rabbi1> auronandace: it is a DVD
[17:36] <J7> MonkeyDust, lots of things, I don't know
[17:36] <auronandace> rabbi1: so what's the problem?
[17:36] <J7> but more important is the error message I get when I try to open the program manager
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> what error message?
[17:37] <rabbi1> auronandace: sorry typo, its a DVD, but it din't rename what i entered and then why is it saying 0 bytes used ?
[17:37] <J7> I'll send it to you in a PM, MonkeyDust
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> J7  no PM
[17:37] <J7> ok then
[17:37] <J7> it's long
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> J7  use pastebin
[17:37] <auronandace> rabbi1: have you burned it yet?
[17:38] <J7> oh, actually, I don't get an error message, it just says it's opening, but then doesn't, MonkeyDust
[17:38] <rabbi1> auronandace: yes i did, if not CD/ DVD Burner does show the "Burn It" button right
[17:39] <Ares_> flashplugin-installer IS THIS FLASH ?
[17:39] <MonkeyDust> caps
[17:39] <auronandace> rabbi1: so you got a dvd with 3.6gb on it? isn't that what you want?
[17:39] <bobweaver> after doing a sudo apt-get -y install lubuntu-desktop    I now have the lubuntu plymouth  splash I would like the old ubuntu one back  I have gone and altered /lib/plymouth/themes/deafault.plymouth     then ran sudo update-initranfs   -u        but still get the splash. how to change  back ?

[17:41] <shaneo> hey guys is gnome required for unity to run i dont use it so i see no need keeping it on my system if i dont have to
[17:41] <|Anthony|> i used "Connect to Server" to establish a file share with a local machine, but even after i unmount the location, i am still connected via netbios-ssn 139 and microsoft-ds 445

[17:41] <Steamopunk> Getting this error when trying to install MySQL server, and whenever updating. Anyone have any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/824130/
[17:42] <auronandace> rabbi1: so it's reporting as a blank disk because it doesn't have a label? can you access the files you burned on it?
[17:42] <rabbi1> auronandace: may the operation is still under process, is it? if it is then how to see it
[17:42] <bobweaver> |Anthony|:    sudo service networking stop ?
[17:42] <rabbi1> auronandace: yeap, i can access the file i burned
[17:42] <bobweaver> the
[17:42] <bobweaver> |Anthony|: sudo service networking start
[17:42] <bobweaver> afterwords
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> J7  it says 'merge with natty', what ubuntu version are you using?
[17:43] <|Anthony|> bobweaver, would that break anything unexpected?
[17:43] <auronandace> rabbi1: what have you burned on it by the way?
[17:43] <bobweaver> |Anthony|:  that would kill your whole networking service
[17:43] <J7> 10.01 I tink, MonkeyDust
[17:43] <|Anthony|> mmm
[17:43] <rabbi1> auronandace: mp3s
[17:43] <sniFFe> Can someone help me set a background image for my console like backtrack has I do not use X windows?
[17:43] <J7> natty narwal, MonkeyDust
[17:44] <|Anthony|> bobweaver, is there a way to specify an ip to disconnect from? instead of cycling network services?
[17:44] <auronandace> rabbi1: thats a lot of mp3s, have you tried it in a dvd player?
[17:44] <rabbi1> hope it's recognised on the car music system :(
[17:44] <agentgasmask> found the solution: export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1  added to .vnc/xstartup.
[17:44] <J7> would an update fix my problems. MonkeyDust?
[17:44] <rabbi1> auronandace: yes, DVD Player, songs around 834 .... in one....
[17:45] <auronandace> rabbi1: so it works?
[17:45] <MonkeyDust> J7  try and you know, try sudo apt-get update
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> agentgasmask: may want to post it on the ubuntuforums, spread the knowledge
[17:45] <zgr> guys after removing from admin group my friend can't load recovery mode in 10.04 LTS(hangs). Is there any other option except livecd?
[17:45] <rabbi1> auronandace: oops sorry, not in DVD player ...
[17:45] <bobweaver> |Anthony|: I am sure that there is somewhere under your network settings
[17:45] <J7> MonkeyDust, I'll try dat, tanks
[17:45] <rabbi1> auronandace: i mean not out of CPU
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> zgr: the OS should still boot
[17:45] <bobweaver> where on the other hand I am not sure
[17:45] <peace_> where is the channel for dev?
[17:45] <auronandace> rabbi1: what?
[17:46] <Steamopunk> Getting this error when trying to install MySQL server, and whenever updating. Anyone have any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/824130/
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> zgr: if you hold shift and select recovery mode, does it hang there, or can you select root?
[17:46] <zgr> ActionParsnip: hangs on  skipping prof in /etc/apparmor/disable:/usr/bin/firefox
[17:46] <rabbi1> auronandace: ok, does this work on a External  DVD Player ?
[17:46] <auronandace> rabbi1: thats what i'm asking you
[17:47] <Pici> peace_: What are you looking for exactly?
[17:47] <rabbi1> auronandace: Can't check that though now
[17:47] <peace_> Pici: i need to undestand how to install ffmpeg instead of this sick ffmpeg developed from libav developers
[17:47] <bobweaver> |Anthony|: just wondering is it that you have a couple of connections and when you "fire up" your computer it connects to the wrong network and you do not want that anymore ?
[17:47] <auronandace> rabbi1: dvds won't play in ordinary cd players, you will need a dvd player
[17:47] <peace_> Pici: there are 2 version ffmpeg standard and ffmpeg from libav developers
[17:48] <rabbi1> auronandace: i hope i know that atleast.... ;)
[17:48] <Boreeas> I was trying to update firefox nightly, but now it gives me "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" - Any idea how to fix this?

[17:48] <Marcin_> Hi, I am just testing ubuntu 12.4 daily and i would like to move the task list to the bottom, but i dont know how?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> zgr: but can you select root?
[17:48] <|Anthony|> bobweaver, no... but when i unmount the network drive, it remains an open connection
[17:48] <bobweaver> ohh ....
[17:48] <zgr> ActionParsnip: no it hangs on load
[17:49] <Boreeas> peace_: Remove or purge?
[17:49] <peace_> Boreeas: dpkg -r stuff
[17:49] <rabbi1> auronandace: problem is very simple, i just burned a DVD of 834 mp3 files to a 4.7 GB DVD. it did burn according to the file contents, but din't burn according the "disk name" ..... that's it... files are there but disk name is not changed. and if files are there then why is it showing, you have inserted a blank disc ...
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> zgr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1838521
[17:50] <auronandace> rabbi1: i'm not sure sorry
[17:50] <agentgasmask> ActionParsnip: I just finished. :) Thanks for the encouragement. I posted the answer here because I keept running into my own question on "ircanswers.com" haha
[17:51] <Steamopunk> Getting this error when trying to install MySQL server, and whenever updating. Anyone have any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/824130/
[17:51] <rabbi1> auronandace: o, that's ok.  should i post this in forum
[17:51] <Pici> peace_: It looks like we don't provide those. There is a PPA that is linked from ffmpeg.org that may work for you though: https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ffmpeg
[17:51] <Marcin_> Hi, I am just testing ubuntu 12.4 daily and i would like to move the task list to the bottom, but i dont know how?
[17:52] <auronandace> rabbi1: if you want to yes, or maybe somebody else here can help (never hurts to do both)
[17:52] <Pici> Marcin_: This is offtopic for this channel. Please continue to use #ubuntu+1
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> zgr: all I can suggest personally is use liveCD and chroot, others may have a suggestion but not being able to get root recovery mode isn't a good sign
[17:52] <mystik_Bomb> is their an alternative to emerald for 11.10??
[17:52] <rabbi1> auronandace: ok, take care ...
[17:52] <auronandace> rabbi1: you too :)
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> agentgasmask: helps others, makes the OS stronger :)
[17:53] <zgr> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[17:53] <Mixxit> hi i'm trying to install ati drivers from the manufacturer site but it says that a previous install of fglrx driver has been detected, i've removed the driver in the hardware config in system tools but it still says it
[17:53] <edve> Need a good web editor on linux ? Anyone knows one ?
[17:54] <zhownx> edve, try bluefish

[17:54] <edve> This *
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> edve: kompozer, BlueGriffon, bluefish, gedit
[17:55] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: Vi should help him better :)
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> edve: Amaya
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: any text editor is fine :)
[17:56] <zhownx> !grub2
[17:57] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: There are lots, every other neighbour has got one editor... ;)
[17:57] <gxoptg> hi
[17:57] <edve> gxoptg: hi
[17:58] <gxoptg> how i can fast recode a text file (e.g. from CP1250 to UTF8)?
[17:59] <edve> gxoptg: select a
[17:59] <edve> Text editor ans open it with it
[17:59] <Boreeas> Can I define an installation path when using apt-get upgrade? Something apparently has broken with nightly, and it's now trying to upgrade into a nonexistant dir and fails
[17:59] <edve> Save as  option and change it there
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> gxoptg: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/konwert.1.html
[18:00] <rabbi1> Boreeas: try Update Manager -> Settings
[18:00] <Steamopunk> Getting this error when trying to install MySQL server, and whenever updating. Anyone have any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/824130/
[18:01] <ionut_> Steamopunk: not properly installed
[18:02] <Steamopunk> ionut_ - That's the error I get when trying to install it.
[18:02] <rabbi1> Steamopunk: purge remove mysql and reinstall
[18:03] <ionut_> Steamopunk: are you trying to install it from command line?
[18:04] <Steamopunk> ionut_ - Yes I am. I did try to do the purge/reinstall and on install, I got the same errors
[18:05] <rabbi1> Steamopunk: can you paste the command
[18:05] <ionut_> Steamopunk: try sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:05] <Steamopunk> rabbi1 - Which command?
[18:05] <rabbi1> Steamopunk: sudo apt-get install pkg-config libmysqlclient16 mysql-common mysql
[18:06] <Steamopunk> ionut_ - ran those commands, didn't do anything.
[18:06] <kalimojo> anyone heard of synthetic telepathy ?
[18:06] <ssta> Steamopunk: you have a corrupt dpkg database.  Check /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkg-config.list -- is it an empty file?
[18:06] <rabbi1> Steamopunk: the best way is from Synaptic Manager, it uninstalls the dependencies and when you install it gets all those dependencies..
[18:07] <rabbi1> ssta: he is missing a file which has the list of files ......
[18:07] <Steamopunk> rabbi1 - Currently can only access it from SSH.
[18:07] <Boreeas> rabbi1: Where exactly? I don't see any options to set it
[18:07] <eduardo> Hello
[18:08] <ionut_> Steamopunk: apt-get clean apt-get update
[18:08] <ionut_> Steamopunk: maybe it will work after , don't know what tos ay
[18:08] <rabbi1> Boreeas: sudo update-manager
[18:08] <ssta> rabbi1: if the file is missing or empty he has to recreate it to recover (yes, we should have better tools to do this for you, but if we do, I don't know of them)
[18:09] <ssta> Steamopunk: see: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-954623.html  whish looks like a similar problem to yours.  Along with a (horrible, but workable) solution
[18:10] <Steamopunk> ssta - The file doesn't appear to exist
[18:10] <Steamopunk> ssta - Working on going through that forum post now
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Steamopunk: try: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage
[18:11] <Steamopunk> ActionParsnip - I'll be trying that as soon as this is done :)
[18:11] <rabbi1> ssta: In the post, i liked the last line "WARNING", that's something nobody keeps track of.... :)
[18:11] <ssta> ActionParsnip: wow, massively destructive loking script :)
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> ssta: ity just clears out all the old package knowledge then redownloads it, like when you have to run:  sudo apt-get update    when you first install to get all the package lists  from all the repos
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> !away > Nach0z-afk
[18:13] <ssta> ActionParsnip: where did you come across that?
[18:13] <Steamopunk> ActionParsnip - I am totally going to have to keep that bookmarked somewhere. It's running now.
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> ssta: launchpad answers forums which I'm on a lot (its how I got my huge amount of karma)
[18:13] <metrazoid97> Hey
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Steamopunk: download it and bang it in a script. I have it in my dropbox, hence the link
[18:14] <ssta> ActionParsnip: ah, I tend to avoid forums, I don't have the patience for them :)
[18:14] <Polah> I just reinstalled 11.10 and gnome-shell; I've set the theme to ambiance however all the title bars for Windows show as solid white bars, rather than the grey-black gradient everything else has.
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Polah: have you tried logging off and on
[18:14] <ssta> we really ought to have a "fix dpkg database" tool for this type of thing
[18:14] <Nach0z> what the?
[18:14] <Nach0z> holy heck my afk script is broken again
[18:14] <rabbi1> Goodnight fellas..... have fun coding
[18:14] <Nach0z> what in the world is wrong with this thing.
[18:15] <Polah> ActionParsnip, yes, I have rebooted twice and the issue persists.
[18:15]  * Star_Light bye to all for now. I 'll back soon -.-
[18:16] <bobweaver> Polah: could you open your terminal and type in   :   lspci -nn | grep VGA     and use paste.ubuntu .com to paste that to us ?
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Polah: tried a different theme?
[18:16] <Steamopunk> ActionParsnip - after running that, it still didn't install right. Same three errors
[18:17] <Steamopunk> Apparently I super-borked something
[18:17] <ssta> Steamopunk: you'll have to replace those files....purge the packages, then resinstall them (sucky way to have to go, but I don't think we have any better tools to do this)
[18:18] <ssta> other way would be to manipulate available directly, but that way is much more dangerous
[18:18] <Steamopunk> ssta - Yeah, I'm WAY to inexperienced to try anything like that
[18:18] <Steamopunk> too*
[18:19] <fabbrei> hi

[18:19] <Mike9863> For some reason my speeds are cut in half when I connect over wireless. Can someone help me fix this issue?
[18:20] <Steamopunk> Sure. Just a sec
[18:20] <bennettwrite> I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop on an old server. The Ubuntu OS is running on a 250Gb hard drive and the files I want to share on a second 1Tb hard drive mounted in the server.  I've mounted the 1Tb drive to /media/New Volume in Ubuntu and shared it. But because it is mounted under media my Windows Vista machines can't see the correct file path since it seems I can't share /media...Any advice?
[18:20] <metrazoid97> How has the ubuntu community been reacting to unity?
[18:20] <ltstp> tenho que sair
[18:21] <k3Rn> hi
[18:21] <ssta> metrazoid97: marmite.  People either love it or hate it
[18:21] <Polah> bobweaver: The GPU I'm using is an Nvidia GT240; it's using the same driver as it was before and themes displayed corrected. I'm going to reboot just now to try something so I won't get a reply until I log back in again.
[18:21] <Mixxit> hey i can't seem to remove fglrx
[18:21] <Mixxit> won't let me install my ati drivers
[18:21] <metrazoid97> I downloaded the 11.X iso and I instantly hated it ;D
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> metrazoid97: mixed
[18:22] <k3Rn> when using the '/etc/init.d/networking restart' command, i get the message that this script is deprecated. what's the recomended command to restart the network configuration?
[18:22] <ssta> metrazoid97: well, you can replace it with gnome-shell
[18:22] <auronandace> metrazoid97: good thing there are other desktops to use
[18:22] <ssta> !notunity | metrazoid97
[18:22] <metrazoid97> I no longer use ubuntu
[18:22] <bobweaver> k3Rn:  you should try    :   sudo service <name of service>   <start stop reload >
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> k3Rn: sudo service networking restart
[18:23] <metrazoid97> I switched to FreeBSD awhile ago.
[18:24] <k3Rn> when i ue the service command, i get the error: "unknown instance"
[18:24] <garaman_> metrazoid97: hope you give 12.04 a try when it comes out, the LTS should be much more polished
[18:24] <bobweaver> k3Rn:  use tab compleation to see the options
[18:25] <ssta> metrazoid97: to each his own.  I found ports to be a bit more effort than I was willing to use.  This is getting a bit offtopic though.  try #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:25] <bobweaver> sudo service networking stop && sudo service networking start
[18:25] <bobweaver> k3Rn: ^^
[18:25] <metrazoid97> I will, I'll use a virtual machine to try out the 12.04 iso
[18:26] <k3Rn> bobweaver: same error message
[18:26] <ooxi> hi, ubuntu 10.04 updated firefox and now company internal dns entries are not resolved but lead to a google query
[18:26] <Steamopunk> ActionParsnip - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824196/
[18:26] <ooxi> how can one turn that behaviour off?
[18:26] <bobweaver> Oo
[18:27] <JPSman> I am looking for help UNINSTALLING amd drivers and INSTALLING nvidia drivers.  I got a new graphics card :0D
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Steamopunk: strange, looks smooth
[18:28] <bobweaver> k3Rn:  you could use ifup command like   : sudo ifdown eth0     or sudo ifup eth0
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> k3Rn: use tab to complete the service
[18:28] <Steamopunk> ActionParsnip - Agreed. Let me recreate the error for you.
[18:29] <bobweaver>  will ifup or ifdown clear cache ?
[18:29] <bobweaver> I dont know
[18:32] <ssta> which cache?
[18:33] <Steamopunk> ActionParsnip - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824206/
[18:33] <bobweaver> networking
[18:34] <ssta> "networking" isn't really a cache as such is it?
[18:34] <bobweaver> ssta:dns
[18:35] <ssta> Steamopunk: it installed it...can you try: sudo apt-get install pkg-config and pastebin?
[18:35] <Pici> bobweaver: there is no dns cache, unless your browser has one, or you're behind some network device that has one.
[18:35] <Steamopunk> ssta - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824209/
[18:36] <ssta> bobweaver: umm, I don't think DNS is cached locally.
[18:36] <ssta> Steamopunk: try: apt-get install --reinstall pkg-config
[18:36] <ssta> umm, a sudo in there...
[18:37] <Steamopunk> Right :P I know that much, thankfully
[18:37] <Mike9863> For some reason my speeds are cut in half when I connect over wireless on my WRT54g router. Can someone help me fix this issue?
[18:37] <ssta> Steamopunk: sotrry, I don't mean to be patronising or anything.  Some people we get here wouldn't know :)
[18:37] <Steamopunk> ssta - Didn't read it that way at all :) I appreciate that you're looking out.
[18:38] <Steamopunk> ssta - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824213/
[18:38] <ssta> Steamopunk: that looks to me like it worked
[18:39] <ssta> Steamopunk: now try the same, but for libmysqlclient16 instead of pkg-config
[18:39] <ssta> hopefully the warning for pkg-config will have gone away
[18:40] <ssta> someone *really* ought to redesign the way the dpkg database works...like actually using a database for it or something :)
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> Mike9863: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dmesg | grep -i firm
[18:41] <Steamopunk> ssta - The warnings are still there :-\
[18:41] <Steamopunk> ssta - Still want me to pastebin?
[18:41] <ssta> Steamopunk: please
[18:41] <dak0> Hey
[18:41] <Steamopunk> ssta - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824216/
[18:42] <ssta> Steamopunk: also, what's the output of: ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkg-config.list
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> ssta: did I help ;)
[18:42] <ssta> Steamopunk: ah.  The pkg-config error isn't there any more.  We've fixed two of them
[18:43] <ssta> ActionParsnip: not sure.  Your script didn't fix everything, but it hasn't hurt anything either.  No way to know whether what we're trying now would have worked without the script either....
[18:43] <Steamopunk> ssta - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824217/
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> ssta: dpkg is weird when it goes screwy
[18:44] <j3rzu> hi all
[18:44] <ssta> Steamopunk: no space between - and l: ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkg-config.list
[18:44] <Steamopunk> sta - derp, sorry
[18:44] <razorfish> hi im trying to get ubuntu working on my hdtv and no matter what i do i cant get it set up right ive tried every driver, tried disabling edid, and all kinds of other nonsense. any tips?
[18:44] <Steamopunk> ssta - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824220/
[18:45] <ssta> ActionParsnip: yep.  This is why I think we need MUCH better tools for fixing it.  Traditionally dpkg maintainers have been an insular recalcitrant bunch though (although I think keybuk looks after it these daysm, he's more approachable)
[18:45] <ssta> Steryep, this is definitely fixing it
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> ssta: indeed, i always reach for that list in the forums if anyone gets dumb errors about apt
[18:45] <ssta> Steamopunk: now the last one: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-common
[18:46] <kuuh> is there some way to check why the sshd on my server is refusing connections? I would prefer any good idea over unplugging and carrying it to the next diplay :)
[18:47] <ssta> ah, looks like vorlon these days...or maybe that's just for the ubuntu branh
[18:47] <Steamopunk> ssta - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824225/
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> kuuh: look in /var/log/auth.log
[18:47] <ssta> hmm, Guillem Jover for Debian.  Don't know anything about him
[18:47] <Mike9863> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/fE1fEYw4
[18:48] <ssta> Steamopunk: perfect.  I think you Sir are fixed :)
[18:48] <Steamopunk> ssta- Let's see what I can try :)
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Mike9863: if you run:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null      does it help?
[18:48] <Steamopunk> Holy crap, this is the first time my.cnf has returned.
[18:48] <ssta> ActionParsnip: ugh...why the tee?
[18:49] <ssta> limitations of sudo I guess
[18:50] <kuuh> ActionParsnip, on the client?
[18:50] <Mike9863> ActionParsnip: It does not
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> ssta: changes the file to only contain that line
[18:50] <diverdude> How can i make it easier to drag windows in ubuntu? Its nearly impossible
[18:50] <diverdude> i mean resize
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Mike9863: bah, try disabling ipv6 with the boot option:  ipv6.disable-1   assuming you do not use it
[18:51] <ssta> ActionParsnip: I know what it does....it's just a powerfully *ugly* construct.  BUt given the limitations of sudo and shell redirection, I guess it's not the worst way of doing it
[18:51] <antoinev> hello, since the previous Xorg update, transparency is no longer working on my computer (kubuntu 11.10)
[18:51] <antoinev> is there any known bug/fix?
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> ssta: it works ;). The redirection not honouring the sudo is a bit of a pain but workable
[18:52] <Mike9863> ActionParsnip: Where would I include that boot option?
[18:52] <_Ethan_> hi
[18:52] <razorfish> hi im trying to get ubuntu working on my hdtv and no matter what i do i cant get it set up right ive tried every driver, tried disabling edid, and all kinds of other nonsense. any tips?
[18:52] <jhonnyboy> hey all, where is ifconfig located?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> Mike9863: add it in the quotes with:  quiet splash in /etc/default/grub     then run:  sudo update-grub    to apply
[18:52] <diverdude> jhendricks, /sbin/ifconfig
[18:52] <antoinev> jhonnyboy: /sbin/ifconfig
[18:52] <jhonnyboy> lol thanks

[18:53] <zimple> Hello.  I have a disk sector error I'm trying to fix with dd (following http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8981588&postcount=17).  If I  change the first sector where the error occurs to 0, then should that fix the problem, or is a bad sector the start of a string of bad sectors?
[18:53] <_Ethan_> i formatted my pc and i created two partitions, one for windows and another one for data. I left unpartitioned space on purpose for now installing Ubuntu. How should i do this? I am a little bit concerned of losing my data.
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> Mike9863: you may also want to add:  to /etc/sysctl.conf

[18:54] <diverdude> How can i make it easier to resize windows in ubuntu? Its nearly impossible
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> Mike9863: those lines can help networking go faster
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: which DE? Which shell (if any)? Which WM?
[18:54] <Lantizia> What IHey I've mounted NFS share and everything is owned by nobody:nogroup and I can read/write/delete anything I like in a file manager and terminal (when logged in as myself not root) - any ideas why a file manager would have hard time making a trash directory?
[18:54] <zykotick9> _Ethan_: the installer should offer "use empty space" in the partitioning step
[18:54] <zimple> _Ethan_, Ubuntu should guide you through gently, but if you still don't trust Ubuntu, Windows should be on a file system with NTFS type.  DO NOT INSTALL HERE.  Intall normally using the emtpy space.
[18:55] <ssta> diverdude: I generally find the bottom right corner easier to snag with the mouse
[18:55] <Lantizia> s/What I//g
[18:55] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, uhhm what is DE? Im using the buil-in shell..whats WM?
[18:55] <jhonnyboy> what do you guys think a hacker would most likely do if he roots a box, change the ifconfig executable or change the ip?
[18:55] <diverdude> ssta, yes...but its still very hard to hit i think
[18:55] <Sharky> my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangsim on 11.04
[18:55] <Sharky> my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.04
[18:55] <ssta> jhonnyboy: umm, neither.  But it's not really a subject for this channel
[18:56] <zykotick9> diverdude: DE = Display Manager, WM = Window Manager
[18:56] <ssta> diverdude: yeah.  I generally put it down to my lack of manual dexterity
[18:56] <_Ethan_> zykotick9 and zimple it just shows me one of the partitions and say "there are two more hidden partitions"
[18:56] <zykotick9> doh
[18:56] <Mike9863> ActionParsnip: I'm still getting the same results. Could it have something to do with my router or a firewall?
[18:56] <zykotick9> DE = Desktop Environment diverdude
[18:56] <_Ethan_> the thing is that i have free space which does not belong to any partition
[18:56] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, ahh im using everythin default ubuntu 11.10
[18:56] <Sharky> my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.0
[18:56] <_Ethan_> should i use "advance asigment" ?

[18:57] <bennettwrite>  hi...I'm trying to share a second hard drive on my Ubuntu machine to a Windows network.  The problem I'm having is that the drive auto mounts under /media, which i'm unable to share...  Is there a way to force it to mount to /public, which I can share and access?
[18:57] <arkaaangel> hello there, I need some help.. My server has 2 partitions.. one contains /var/www folder and another partition contains some files that I'd like to use in /var/www .. How can I put these files available for download??
[18:58] <ssta> Steamopunk: what does this say?: sudo service mysql status
[18:58] <zykotick9> KodeKamel: Range?  USB Port?  what do you mean?
[18:58] <zimple> _Ethan_, Two probable causes: you had a partition already set up on a removeable drive; or you have an encrypted partition.
[18:58] <zimple> Hello.  I have a disk sector error I'm trying to fix with dd (following http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8981588&postcount=17).  If I  change the first sector where the error occurs to 0, then should that fix the problem, or is a bad sector the start of a string of bad sectors?
[18:58] <KodeKamel> zykotick9: How far away can the connector be from the port?
[18:59] <Steamopunk> ssta - http://paste.ubuntu.com/824250/

[18:59] <Sharko> my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.0
[18:59] <auronandace> KodeKamel: its called a connector because it needs to connect (physical contact)

[18:59] <ModusPwnens> Can someone help me get a shutdown script working? I wrote a script to run a shutdown, and then I did sudo update-rc.d my_script start 1 0 6 .
[18:59] <_Ethan_> nothing else..
[18:59] <KodeKamel> zykotick9: auronandace:  I'm glad you know, Because I just spoke to an ubuntu user that thought USB meant wireless...  Makes me wonder about ya'll.
[18:59] <zykotick9> KodeKamel: i still don't understand.  But, USB cables can't be overly long, I have a USB extension that's 3-4 feet i'd guess
[19:00] <ModusPwnens> however when I shutdown my computer, the script doesn't execute
[19:00] <ssta> Steamopunk: hmm, strange.  Does stop and then start work?  Is this 11.10?
[19:00] <Sharcho> When I add "ufw allow from <IP_ADDRESS>", the rule added in iptables is "ACCEPT     all  --  bk-in-f99.1e100.net  anywhere". Is there a way to prevent that from happening?
[19:00] <KodeKamel> sorry... I thought that may just lighten your day.  Enjoy the rest of it.
[19:00] <kad_> hey pls help, i have installed vnc4server, when i connect from vncviewer to this vnc server  it only see terminal not graphic why? thx
[19:00] <Sharko> my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.0
[19:00] <Steamopunk> ssta - Yes it is 11.10
[19:00] <diverdude> How can i make it easier to resize windows in ubuntu? Its nearly impossible
[19:00] <ssta> Sharcho: umm, isn't that what you told it to do?
[19:01] <Sharcho> No, I want it to filted by IP, and it's filtering by reverse DNS (which isn't working correctly).
[19:01] <zykotick9> diverdude: does holding ALT and click/dragging work?
[19:01] <Lantizia> What do you do when you want a directory that isn't loyal to anyone?!  Like a FAT32 system would be where anyone anywhere can just read/write whatever the hell they want
[19:01] <ssta> Sharcho: no, it filters by IP, but it SHOWs you reverse DNS.  try: sudo iptables -L -n
[19:02] <ssta> or it *swhould*
[19:02] <diverdude> zykotick9, then it just moves the window instead
[19:02] <Sharko> my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.0
[19:02] <ssta> if it doesn't then ufw is more broken than I thought
[19:02] <zykotick9> Lantizia: FAT (or NTFS) isn't really a good example, under gnu/linux they are mounted as a user with permissions.
[19:03] <zykotick9> diverdude: try other mouse click.  (if that fails, try ctrl)
[19:03] <Lantizia> zykotick9, right well I have an NFS share in this case and I want _ANYONE_ who logs in to my system to be able to read/write to it - I don't want the files to have different owners!
[19:03] <Sharcho> ssta, probably the latter.
[19:03] <diverdude> zykotick9, it does not make it any easier
[19:03] <ssta> Sharcho: does iptables -L -n show what you expect?
[19:03] <Sharcho> ssta, yes, it does.
[19:04] <ssta> Steamopunk: I'm afraid I have no idea why it's doing that...
[19:04] <ssta> Sharcho: so what's the issue?
[19:04] <zykotick9> Lantizia: if it's on EXT file system, it HAS to have owner/permission.  Just set the directory to RWX for everyone.
[19:04] <zimple> Anyone know how to fix a disk sector error?  Already tried using dd (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8981588&postcount=17), but got  an error saying "dd: writing `/dev/sda': Input/output error"
[19:04] <diverdude> zykotick9, the resize-margin where the cursor changes to drag-sprit is so narrow that its nearly impossible to hit
[19:04] <Sharcho> ssta, I can only connect from IPs that have no reverse DNS on them.
[19:04] <zykotick9> diverdude: ya, i've heard of the issue before.  I have no idea.
[19:04] <Sharko> my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.0 can some one tell me is it the why am useing it
[19:04] <ssta> Sharcho: umm...iptables doesn't care about DNS except when it's listing the rules for you...
[19:05] <diverdude> zykotick9, i really hate that about ubuntu....
[19:05] <Steamopunk> ssta-  stopping the service appeared to work, but starting it is still running :-\
[19:05] <acerimmer> !server|arkaaangel
[19:05] <acerimmer> !server|arkaaangel
[19:05] <ssta> Sharcho: perhaps start again...explain exactly what the problem is?
[19:05] <zykotick9> diverdude: there are other DEs WMs available
[19:05] <diverdude> zykotick9, which one is good?
[19:05] <zimple> Sharko, go to the command line, type "ps ux | grep ubuntu | grep software"  You should see only one process there.  "kill-9" the PID.
[19:05] <Lantizia> zykotick9, all the files/directories on the share are owned by nobody:nogroup with files being -rw-rw-r-- and dirs being drwxrwxr-x  ...  and I can read/write/delete them perfectly fine from my non-root user - but _HOW_ is that possible when these dirs/files don't have the w flag for 'others' ?
[19:05] <zimple> Sorr, that's "kill -9"
[19:05] <zykotick9> diverdude: KDE / XFCE / LXDE are popular DEs
[19:06] <Sharcho> ssta: when I allow a specific IP address, the allow works properly only if the IP doesn't have a reverse DNS on it.
[19:06] <Lantizia> zykotick9, and no my user isn't a member of nogroup
[19:06] <ssta> Steamopunk: very very strange...I have no idea.  There's something seriously unhappy somewhere in your system
[19:06] <willdabeast> I have a question, for some reason on my girlfriends dell netbook with Ubuntu Remix, it says it cannot connect to the Wireless Network.
[19:06] <diverdude> zykotick9, XFCE i tried and didnt like to much
[19:06] <Lantizia> zykotick9, or is everyone a member of nogroup on all distro's by default?
[19:06] <ssta> Sharcho: that makes no sense...iptables doesn't care about DNS, reverse or otherwise.
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: tried LXDE? KDE?
[19:07] <zimple> willdabeast, Is your WiFi card detected?  I have some trouble with my card.
[19:07] <diverdude> ActionParsnip, no....can i just easily install then using get-install and restart the system?
[19:07] <zimple> Anyone know how to fix a disk sector error?  Already tried using dd (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8981588&postcount=17), but got  an error saying "dd: writing `/dev/sda': Input/output error"
[19:07] <willdabeast> zimple, yes it is.
[19:07] <Sharcho> ssta, maybe it modifies hosts.allow or something similar?
[19:07] <zykotick9> Lantizia: sorry, that's a bit of a mystery for me.  I'm not sure.  PS, my NFS shares don't get nobody:nogroup?  But my user account has the same UID on both systems.
[19:08] <Sharcho> ssta, the port isn't filtered, but I can't connect
[19:08] <zykotick9> Lantizia: you can type "groups" in a terminal to see what groups you are in.  I highly doubt nobody is listed.
[19:08] <zimple> willdabeast, Probably not an Ubuntu thing, then, unless it's a wierd type of password encryption.  Is it WPA or WEP?
[19:08] <zimple> willdabeast, or neither?
[19:08] <epqr> I have a question about the hotspot/adhoc feature. I try to set it up with a wpa password, however when i connect to it with one of my devices, it does not require or ask for a password at all. How come?
[19:09] <ssta> Sharcho: pastebin the output of "sudo iptables -L -v -n"
[19:09] <willdabeast> zimple, WPA I believe, her older brother was using hotspot with his phone, I'm wondering if he messed something up with that.
[19:09] <zimple> epqr, The password is stored in your keyring (wallet for KDE).
[19:10] <willdabeast> zimple, It used to be his netbook, but is there a chance he set it so that you have to enter in all of the WiFi information before it can find a network? Because it can't find any network.
[19:10] <raider_> hello
[19:10] <raider_> is there anyone from poland?
[19:10] <acerimmer> !pl|raider_
[19:11] <raider_> halo
[19:11] <zimple> willdabeast, Might want to test with Windows to make sure it's not the WiFi side.  Also, are you seeing ANY wireless networks?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> diverdude: sure, they are packages likje any other app
[19:11] <Sharcho> ssta, http://pastebin.com/5LhSe23j
[19:11] <zimple> Anyone know how to fix a disk sector error?  Already tried using dd (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8981588&postcount=17), but got  an error saying "dd: writing `/dev/sda': Input/output error"
[19:12] <epqr> zimple Not quite following. Do i need to do some configuring in keyring do get the password to work? The problem is i try to set a passwork for the hotspot, but external devices doesnt require the pass to connect
[19:12] <willdabeast> zimple, No I'm not seeing any wireless networks, only old networks that her older brother used. Are you saying I should Install Windows? Or would Wine work? Sorry I'm clearly new :p
[19:13] <noodlr> hi
[19:13] <meberhart> hello
[19:13] <zimple> epqr, Sorry, misread your question.  The password for the device needs to be set from within the device itself, usually with an ethernet connection.
[19:13] <ssta> ufw needs to die!
[19:14] <guest4375430> Hi guys ! I am facing an unusual problem with Ubuntu 11.10 with respect to establishing mobile broadband connection ! I am unable to connect to internet using mobile broadband connection after installing it on hard disk, but when I run through live cd, it connects.... any pointers will be appreciated... thanx !
[19:14] <acerimmer> zimple: if those settings apply only to a specific user, I wonder if deleting that user network config settings file would force a re-set?
[19:14] <zimple> willdabeast, No, I was just saying to get a spare windows box (if you have one) to find out if the connection was OS-dependent.
[19:14] <subcool> how do you get the notficiation for 11.1 to go away?
[19:15] <noodlr> I'm having a problem with ubuntu 11.10, whenever I run gedit, from terminal, it takes ages (8-10 seconds approx) before it loads up. this is irrespective of the number of files I am opening with it.
[19:15] <willdabeast> zimple, Oh I see what you mean, yeah the internet works fine on Windows.
[19:15] <Steamopunk> ssta - Hate to keep bothering you, but if I were to uninstall all of the MySQL things, would I be able to reinstall without problems? Your best guess, anyway
[19:15] <ssta> Sharcho: packets from <IP_ADDRESS> should be accepted by that ruleset.
[19:15] <noodlr> anyone else have experience of this and, if so, any solutions?
[19:15] <slide> What is the difference between M/Monit and Monit?
[19:16] <aspilicious> ok, I'm a developper prety new to unix systems in general. I'm buimding websites located in var/www. When I drag those folders in my text editor I can't save my changes because the files are proteced
[19:16] <ssta> Steamopunk: in an ideal world, yes, you should be able to.  If it were me I'd uninstall and reinstall mysql-server at least
[19:16] <aspilicious> how can I handle that?
[19:16] <guest4375430> anyone can help with mobile broadband usb device based connection ????
[19:16] <aspilicious> How can I use my sublime text editor in some kind of sudo mode
[19:16] <epqr> zimple. Yeah, no but the problem is that i dont need to set a password on the connecting device :p
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> guest4375430: run: lsusb   use the 8 character hex id for the device to find guides
[19:16] <ssta> lordy, ufw really is horrible to troubleshoot...who decided this was a good idea?
[19:17] <preilly> does anybody know how to fix this "setreuid: Operation not permitted" on screen?
[19:17] <epqr> zimple. Yeah, no but the problem is that i dont need to set a password on the connecting device :p I dont want anybody to be anble to connect to the adhoc/hotspot, only the ones who knows the password i sat for it( me)
[19:17] <zimple> willdabeast, It also might be a problem with the encryption type.  There are two types of encryptions for WEP: password and hex.  Try one or the other.
[19:17] <preilly> I'm trying to enable multiuser support
[19:17] <zykotick9> aspilicious: is sublime GUI or text based?  "sudo sublime" if it's text, or "gksudo sublime" if it's GUI.
[19:18] <preilly> screen has the following permissions -rwsr-sr-x 1 root utmp<PHONE_NUMBER>-08-17 16:10 /usr/bin/screen"
[19:18] <guest4375430> there are lot of usb devices listed .... I am not sure which one it is... and where would I find the guide ?
[19:18] <zimple> epqr, So, if I understand you, you want your hotspot to not have a password, but you want only certain people to connect to the hotspot?
[19:18] <w30> guest4375430, I installed, checking the propriatary option and got the wifi drivers I needed when I installed.
[19:20] <guest4375430> w30, that didnt work for me ? I was even connected to internet when I ran ubuntu from live cd, and then I selected "Install ubuntu" option on hard disk....
[19:20] <epqr> zimple, no i do want my hotspot to have a password. With a password i can control who connects to it. The problem is i configures the hotspot to require a password. However, when i connect to it, it does not ask for a password i.e. anyone who wants can connect to it
[19:20] <guest4375430> w30, it is back to square one and when I ran lsusb, it doesnt list my mobile usb modem :\
[19:20] <preilly> can anybody help?
[19:20] <willdabeast> zimple, Ok awesome thanks so much. I'll be back on later if you're still here, would love for some of your wise words ;).
[19:21] <jonatasnona> how to know which ips are being used on the network?
[19:21] <aspilicious> zykotick9, gksudo doesn't work, probably because it's not in my path
[19:21] <zimple> willdabeast, Possibly not, but Ill try to be on.
[19:21] <Sharcho> ssta, it's really weird. It's causing "connection refused" issues on ports that are supposed to be open anyway.
[19:21] <willdabeast> zimple, Ok thanks anyway, cheers!
[19:21] <auronandace> jonatasnona: check your router?
[19:22] <zimple> willdabeast, Good luck.
[19:22] <zykotick9> aspilicious: gksudo isn't in your path or you editor?  "whereis gksudo"
[19:22] <ssta> Sharcho: are those ports definitely listening to everwhere?
[19:22] <w30> guest4375430, try lsusb when running the live cd and find what you need, I guess
[19:22] <zykotick9> aspilicious: "gksu" is another option
[19:22] <zimple> epqr, And you're able to get to a web page?
[19:22] <ssta> Sharcho: I can't see anything in that ruleset that would cause anything to be dropped from that IP.  Of course ufw based rulesets are horrible spaghetti...
[19:23] <Plizzo> Hello, does anyone here have any experience working with lcdproc?
[19:23] <Sharcho> ssta, sorry, that's another issue.
[19:23] <guest4375430> w30, I did and it gives me many option though I have short listed two usb devices which are likely to be my  usb modem,
[19:23] <w30> guest4375430, or lsudo shw
[19:23] <jonatasnona> auronandace, i don't have permisson to access it :(
[19:23] <aspilicious> zykotick9, no sublime_text doesn't start, I browse to the folder with the executable I do gksudo sublime_text and nothing happens
[19:23] <epqr> zimble, yes i can connect and everything works
[19:23] <zgr> hey guys I've LPT mustek scanner, I've added user to lp group, configured /etc/sane.d/mustek_pp.conf /etc/sane.d/dll.conf but after running xsane it hangs on device probbing
[19:23] <aspilicious> gksudo is in my bin folder
[19:24] <zykotick9> aspilicious: is sublime a GUI or CLI application?
[19:24] <user10000> hi! anybody knows how to config QoS on ubuntu server?
[19:24] <w30> guest4375430, well, disconect the modem and boot the live cd again and compare
[19:24] <acerimmer> !server|user10000
[19:24] <aspilicious> zykotick9, a gui like textmate in macosx
[19:25] <zimple> If I have a disk sector error that won't go away (even with dd), is my computer toast?
[19:25] <zykotick9> aspilicious: so "gksudo ./textmate" perhaps?
[19:25] <guest4375430> well , got it
[19:25] <guest4375430> w30, what should I do next
[19:25] <Steamopunk> More random errors, anyone interested check http://paste.ubuntu.com/824291/ :) Thanks for the help
[19:26] <guest4375430> I have been able to zero in ... the 8 digit hex code for device but the product name is wrong
[19:26] <aspilicious> zykotick9, you are my hero :D, you prbably also now how I can add an alias in my terminal
[19:26] <aspilicious> now I need to browse to the folder to start it
[19:26] <zykotick9> aspilicious: ~/.bashrc
[19:26] <aspilicious> zykotick9, what do I have to add there?
[19:26] <zykotick9> aspilicious: you could create a menu entry just use the full path
[19:27] <Plizzo> How do I uninstall an app that was not installed with apt-get?
[19:27] <w30> guest4375430, well, disconect the modem and boot the live cd again and compare
[19:27] <Plizzo> I compiled an app and it installed to sbin, and I now have duplicates that I can't get rid off
[19:27] <preilly> can someone help me with my screen issue?
[19:27] <auronandace> Plizzo: depends how you installed it
[19:27] <preilly> screen -x
[19:27] <preilly> setreuid: Operation not permitte
[19:27] <preilly> d
[19:27] <zykotick9> aspilicious: you should see some examples already in there, but << alias ls='ls --colour=auto' >> if you don't
[19:27] <guest4375430> w30, ok what next .... I have 8 digit hex code for my usb modem device .... ?
[19:28] <heinz_> Plizzo: depends on the application
[19:28] <Plizzo> auronandace: I used dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot to build lcdproc
[19:28] <urlin2u> zimple, it would be the hardrive not the computer, you might want to have everything backed up to be safe.
[19:28] <noodlr> so ... anyone experienced inordinately slow load times with gedit, in Ubuntu 11.10 Unity?
[19:29] <auronandace> Plizzo: i have no experience with compiling apps sorry
[19:29] <zimple> urlin2u, Yeah, meant my hd.  The wierd thing is that I can mount and access the disk just fine, but I can't boot to it.
[19:29] <Plizzo> auronandace: Neither do I, hence the issue haha :D
[19:30] <zykotick9> Plizzo: use checkinstall for installing source packages in future, it creates a DEB for you, so package manager will be aware of the install (makes life a lot easier in the long run)
[19:30] <urlin2u> zimple, you familiar with reloading the MBR and reading te bootscript for bootfiles....etc?
[19:30] <urlin2u> the
[19:30] <zykotick9> !checkinstall | Plizzo
[19:30] <zimple> urlin2u, No.
[19:30] <w30> guest4375430, you need a name for your device so you can look in your synaptic for such a device application. lsusb, lshw or something in proc should give you a hint
[19:31] <Plizzo> zykotick9: Thanks, I'll remember that, but how do I get rid of my duplicate? :/
[19:31] <zykotick9> Plizzo: sorry i can't help with that.  Good luck.
[19:31] <Sharcho> ssta, okay I figured it out. The machine I was connecting from had several IP addresses, and it wasn't connecting through the primary adapter.
[19:32] <Sharcho> ssta, so I only whitelisted one of the IPs.
[19:32] <aspilicious> zykotick9, ohhhh thank god! I search the internet for 2 hours for these questions. Thank you!
[19:32] <Plizzo> zykotick9: Alright, thanks
[19:32] <zykotick9> aspilicious: glad to help
[19:32] <Sharcho> ssta, thanks for your help.
[19:33] <guest4375430> w30, this is the device " Bus 006 Device 003: ID 19d2:fff1 ONDA Communication S.p.A."
[19:33] <acerimmer> aspilicious: just for you:  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/success%20kid.jpg
[19:33] <guest4375430> w30, however that is not right because the correct name for device is zte cdma modem
[19:34] <urlin2u> zimple, ah no biggie, it is hard for us to say what state the HD is in physically, but there are test that are built in to ubuntu the disk utility has a smart reader that can be helpful. If you want to run a script for a text file you can pastebin that might give a clue to the boot here it is.   http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[19:35] <guest4375430> One more thing, is there a way in which I can customize the applications which are going to be installed on the system during installation, like in old days ?
[19:36] <dusf> everything i downloaded with firefox or google chrome to ~/Downloads has the owner root, and group root. this is causing problems for running some programs like the tor browser bundle. am i correct that i dusf should the owner of files i download, and also the group, and how can i correct this please?
[19:36] <auronandace> !mini | guest4375430
[19:36] <dusf> -0ed
[19:36] <zykotick9> guest4375430: well if you start from the mini CD, you can customize EVERYTHING
[19:37] <guest4375430> but I have a live cd which installs ubuntu 11.10 in GNOME version....  can I use that to customize because I dont have mini cd
[19:38] <acerimmer> guest4375430: "mini" isn't a mini cd.  You'd download the ISO, burn it to a disk, boot and customize.  the iso is only  a few hundred megabytes
[19:39] <urlin2u> guest4375430, you can load the mini to a thumb as well.
[19:39] <Scopeuk> Hi All, can any one help with an issue getting a device and its associated kernel module to bind, I am running 11.10 and a kernal of <IP_ADDRESS> to match the modules (they are binary provided by the device manufacturer against that kernal
[19:40] <willdabeast> I actually had another question, does anyone recommend a good website for Linux Terminal Tutorial Videos?
[19:40] <Scopeuk> device is a bgt 3630 I can see in lspci -k that no kernel module has bound to it
[19:40] <Steamopunk> MySQL errors again, anyone have any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/824291/
[19:40] <auronandace> willdabeast: careful youtube searches?
[19:41] <Scopeuk> modinfo apears to show that the id pairs for the kernel module match those that lspic outputs but i cant get the device to come up, the module apears to load however
[19:41] <willdabeast> auronandace: I have been but I'm looking for one that has a sequence of videos, so I don't have to search random youtube videos.
[19:41] <guest4375430> acerimmer, yeah I know but it would be expensive for me to download 600MB or more data ...that is likely to cost about $5 .... for something which I already have free on disc
[19:43] <zykotick9> guest4375430: if you use the LiveCD you can customize after installation, kinda difficult with some of the metapackages involved perhaps, but possible.
[19:43] <zimple> Since I need to get a new HD, would there be compatibility issues with my laptop/hd, or are they basically the same connection?
[19:43] <urlin2u> Scopeuk, I can't help other then to say naming the device would seem prudent
[19:44] <guest4375430> zykotick9, how so ? I want to install specific packages during installation which get ommitted like usb_modeswitch which is the main reason for my internet connection not working properly
[19:45] <auronandace> zimple: i'd search for laptop harddrives with your laptop model included in the search
[19:45] <zykotick9> guest4375430: well, that might be an issue.  Sorry, I have no suggestions.  Good luck.
[19:45] <urlin2u> zimple, there is a #hardware channel they might be helpful as well.
[19:45] <acerimmer> guest4375430: 11.10 is 23 mb.  You've probably expended that much data just in this irc...
[19:45] <Edico> is there a lamp-server package on ubuntu 10.04?
[19:45] <urlin2u> ##hardware actually zimple
[19:45] <zykotick9> acerimmer: but during install, it will download a lot more

[19:46] <zykotick9> Edico: terminal "sudo tasksel" is another option
[19:46] <SatoshiHayazaki> Someone know some app that lets you create a simple todo list, setting time and date and that warns you when that time/date nears?
[19:46] <guest4375430> acerimmer , lol yeah I have no probs downloading mini cd which is 26MB for me but after downloading it when I would start installing, it will download over 600MB of packages...  which will cost
[19:46] <acerimmer> zykotick9: true.  if portable, i'd say it's time to go buy a cup of coffee, siphon some wifi and getrdone
[19:47] <acerimmer> guest4375430: install the default, then sudo apt-get purge the packages you DON'T want?
[19:48] <excelsior> hey guys, is it a problem when I get a warning that packages cannot be authenticated?
[19:48] <auronandace> !offline | guest4375430
[19:49] <guest4375430> acerimmer, and how does that help ? I will still have to download about 600MB of data which I already have on free disc
[19:49] <urlin2u> excelsior, your just missing a key most likely, depends on where they are from.
[19:50] <Oer> guest4375430, downloading is free too.
[19:50] <excelsior> urlin2u: I did a sudo apt-get install kompozer, and got that error, and select Y anyways, I didn't make a problem for myself, did I?
[19:50] <urlin2u> excelsior, you can add the key mentioned in the error with this command   sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "key here"
[19:50] <acerimmer> Oer: not for him.  He's got a costly data plan...
[19:51] <urlin2u> excelsior, not familiar with kompzer, but it's in the standred repos I think.
[19:51] <urlin2u> standard*
[19:52] <guest4375430> 0er, not for me .... my plan costs me 1GB of data for $12 approx
[19:53] <acerimmer> guest4375430: is your system mobile?  laptop?
[19:53] <guest4375430> acerimmer .. yup
[19:53] <acerimmer> guest4375430: coffeshop wifi
[19:54] <urlin2u> free at starbucks if there is one near  guest4375430  look on the web for free wifi near.
[19:55] <guest4375430> acerimmer , ok now thats a good suggestion if you live in usa, unfortunately I live in India .... :\
[19:55] <guest4375430> acerimmer, and here coffeeshops dont offer free wifi :\ ..... we are 3rd world country as far as mobile internet connection is concerned
[19:56] <guest4375430> :\
[19:56] <acerimmer> guest4375430: sorry.  your user ID logs you in in Corvalis, Oregon, USA...:(
[19:56] <Oer> guest43 then use the regular iso, and remove all apps you don't want :-)
[19:56] <acerimmer> guest4375430: school/college internet connection?
[19:57] <guest4375430> acerimmer, from where ????? how is that possible ? no idea... .. may be because of proxy server
[19:57] <acerimmer> guest4375430: where are you in india?  maybe we can locate an ubuntu loco.
[19:58] <dusf> once i move a program to opt i am having problems running it because sudo nautilus moving it sticks root permissions to it as owner and group - is chown dusf /opt/tor-browser_en-US the command that will fix this please?
[19:58] <orion88> very quiet in here today
[19:58] <urlin2u> guest4375430, google has a partnership for free wifi not sure if it is applicable for you.  http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/01/11/google-users-in-india-to-get-free-wi-fi-access-to-the-social-network/
[19:58] <guest4375430> acerimmer, nope ...office has internet but we are not allowed to carry personal digital equipments there ....  :|
[19:59] <zykotick9> dusf: you might want -r for recursive.  "chown -r dusf:GROUPifDESIRED /opt/tor-browe..."
[19:59] <acerimmer> !ubuntu-in|guest4375430
[19:59] <guest4375430> acerimmer,  I live in suburb region near country's capital ...so not sure if you can find one in my small town
[20:00] <dusf> zykotick9: so chown -r dusf:GROUP /opt/tor-browe.. ?
[20:00] <acerimmer> guest4375430: #ubuntu-in
[20:00] <semitones> I believe I'm encountering the known bug of "touchpad misbehaving after resume from sleep" -- does anybody know the fix for this?
[20:00] <semitones> I can't find it
[20:00] <dusf> zykotick9: i know you mean the full path, just not sure about the GROUPifDESIRED bit
[20:00] <acerimmer> guest4375430: also http://www.ubuntu-in.info/
[20:00] <zykotick9> dusf: "sudo chown -r dusf:dusf /opt/tor-brow.."
[20:00] <dusf> zykotick9: ty friend :)
[20:00] <dusf> zykotick9: any reason not to just chown all of /opt?
[20:00] <acerimmer> guest4375430: and https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
[20:01] <zykotick9> dusf: you could... i wouldn't, but you could
[20:01] <acerimmer> guest4375430: AND<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:01] <guest4375430> acerimmer, thnx
[20:01] <dusf> zykotick9: chown: invalid option -- 'r'

[20:05] <urlin2u> g105b, all the info you need is in those links, try reading them, >D
[20:06] <acerimmer> !ask>regular
[20:06] <zykotick9> g105b: "gksudo gedit /etc/defaults/grub" and run "sudo update-grub" after you make your change
[20:07] <g105b> zykotick9: I can't boot - killed xorg - so I need to boot into terminal FROM the grub
[20:07] <zykotick9> g105b: "e" at the grub menu to edit it
[20:07] <g105b> so I'm looking for something to boot into terminal from the boot params
[20:07] <g105b> zykotick9: ah, that's what you meant
[20:07] <g105b> zykotick9: so I would change it to setparams "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic text"
[20:07] <keratacon> Is it possible to access the curses-frontended disk format utility from the install CD without running the install CD?  That is, is that an independent program I can install?
[20:08] <zykotick9> g105b: that's doesn't look right to me... maybe
[20:08] <zykotick9> g105b: see quiet splash there?
[20:09] <Seryth> I want to remove google chrome, but `sudo apt-get remove chrome` or "google-chrome" isn't working...what should I do?
[20:09] <semitones> Seryth: i'd search for it in either aptitude or synaptic to find the package to remove
[20:09] <zykotick9> Seryth: to find the package name, try "dpkg -l | grep chrome"
[20:09] <g105b> zykotick9: yeah on the line linux /boot/vmlinuz- ...
[20:10] <zykotick9> g105b: ya, that looks better

[20:10] <g105b> zykotick9: ok thanks, so just the word text added to the end of that line?

[20:10] <zykotick9> g105b: yup
[20:10] <semitones> any idea how to solve touchpad misbehaving on ubuntu 11.10 after resume?
[20:10] <g105b> zykotick9: oh no, it still hangs on the ubuntu boot logo :/
[20:10] <semitones> Seryth: no problem man
[20:11] <zykotick9> g105b: add nomodeset
[20:11] <zykotick9> g105b: take text out and replace it with nomodeset and test
[20:11] <meberhart> semitones - check your PM
[20:12] <sllide> can i format a file just like i'd format a harddrive?
[20:12] <HeinzLMann> zykotick9, i know...but i thought it would be what Seryth wanted...
[20:12] <sllide> like put a mbr and a fat32 system on a file of 16Mb
[20:12] <Seryth> HeinzLMann: Sorry?
[20:12] <ascianabhro> is there any displayConfigGTK for Ubuntu Lucid?
[20:12] <Seryth> heinrich5: Ah, yeah, I see. No, I'm replacing chrome with chromium now ;)
[20:12] <semitones> meberhart: I don't see any msgs
[20:12] <urlin2u> sllide, what is the actual final goal, what is the problem your having?
[20:12] <Seryth> HeinzLMann: ----------------------^
[20:13] <g105b> zykotick9: seems to be doing something
[20:13] <HeinzLMann> Seryth, never mind^^
[20:13] <Seryth> HeinzLMann: :P
[20:13] <zykotick9> Seryth: good choice, chrome is not so cool
[20:13]  * Seryth whispers "botnet" to zykotick9
[20:13] <meberhart> semitones - you need to use the dconf-editor to fix your touchpad
[20:13] <meberhart> i had the same problem
[20:14] <sllide> urlin2u: having the structure of a normal harddisk with partition and all that magic, but in a file instead of a actual hdd, i dont know where to start or if its even possible
[20:14] <semitones> meberhart: alright, firing it up
[20:14] <meberhart> semitones - once you have it up, navigate to org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > touchpad
[20:14] <semitones> have to install it first looks like
[20:15] <w30> sllide, I have used dd to make an image of a file system and then loopback that image as a mounted file system
[20:15] <meberhart> then, make sure 'touchpad-enabled' and 'tap-to-click' are enabled
[20:15] <meberhart> yeah, it's dconf-editor
[20:15] <sllide> w30: ill try that :)
[20:15] <g105b> zykotick9: sorry man, nothing's letting me boot
[20:15] <g105b> zykotick9: gonna reinstall
[20:16] <semitones> meberhart: ok i'm in here
[20:16] <keratacon> Where does MySQL server store its databases?  And if I keep that folder on its own partition will I be able to simply recover my database by remounting the partition on a new system (I'm using a VM) with MySQL installed with the same username / password?
[20:16] <semitones> meberhart: yeah touchpad enabled wasn't clicked
[20:16] <semitones> weird
[20:16] <winnie667> hello everyone, i've managed to customize an ubuntu distro so that it loads up a LIVE system into ram, and upon boot it syncs certain folders to achieve a form of persistency. Everything seems to work and sync fine except for the nm-applet passwords. I have gnome-keyring installed and it's set up to sync the folowing folders:/usr/share/keyrings/    /usr/share/nm-applet/    /usr/share/gnome-vpn-properties/     /usr/share/gnome-keyr
[20:16] <semitones> i can still usually use it though
[20:16] <urlin2u> sllide, sounds like your going about whatever it is you want the hard way, not sure though, a real full description would be helpful probably.
[20:17] <meberhart> semitones - so it worked?
[20:17] <winnie667> the sync occurs in /etc/rc5.d/90 after  S70pppd-dns
[20:17] <semitones> meberhart: I only encounter the weirdness if I sleep the computer and then wake it up
[20:17] <OneMiner> Is it possible to force Ubuntu 11.10 64bit to install on a 4GB flash drive? I don't need more than a couple megs free. Installer is asking for 4.5GB.
[20:17] <semitones> it moves and clicks erratically when I use it for about 5 minutes, then settles down
[20:17] <meberhart> that's very weird
[20:17] <sllide> urlin2u: dont know how to explain it any better
[20:17] <zykotick9> OneMiner: mini CD could work
[20:18] <sllide> urlin2u: lets just say instead of formatting /dev/sda i want to format /home/me/disk
[20:18] <winnie667> OneMiner: use a live CD with persistency, from experience i can tell you that installing on a USB flash stick is painfully slow
[20:18] <OneMiner> zykotick9 Is that a smaller version of Ubuntu? Available from the home page?
[20:18] <zykotick9> sllide: you can't format folders, drives yes - folders no
[20:18] <pnorman_> OneMiner: might need to use the alternate installer and be selective about what you install. or livecd + presistency
[20:18] <urlin2u> sllide, why you want the mbr in a file would help, people use boot partitions, although not needed very often.
[20:18] <sllide> zykotick9: its not a folder its a file
[20:18] <zykotick9> OneMiner: it's the Debian text installer, you install only what you want
[20:19] <auronandace> sllide: i suppose he is asking why you want to make an image of a harddisk?
[20:19] <zykotick9> sllide: you can't format a file either
[20:19] <sllide> auronandace: yes!
[20:19] <sllide> auronandace: because i want to write a bootloader to it and store some files
[20:19] <sllide> so i can boot it in qemu
[20:19] <OneMiner> I don't care about slow or not. I'm not versed enough in Linux to do a more complex install. It's a system I start in the morning, it does it's thing (no matter how quickly) and then I shut it down at night.
[20:19] <auronandace> sllide: theres the answer: qemu
[20:20] <zykotick9> sllide: so you qemu-img and create a virtual HD
[20:20] <zykotick9> s/you/use/
[20:20] <sllide> oh...
[20:20] <POVaddct> sllide: why don't you partition and format the file from a running system in qemu?
[20:20] <winnie667> OneMiner: creating a live usb is as easy/easier than installing Ubuntu, look for unetbootin
[20:20] <zykotick9> POVaddct: qemu-img outside qemu is used to create drives
[20:20] <sllide> POVaddct: because i'm testing my own kernel and just added a fat system
[20:21] <urlin2u> winnie667, unetbootin is not a full install.
[20:21] <OneMiner> TY winnie667. Can i install a program on it? Is it persistant?
[20:21] <POVaddct> zykotick9: i know. but qemu-img creates a blank disk file without any partition table or filesystem
[20:21]  * zykotick9 thinks unetbootin is outdated in the times of hybrid ISOs
[20:21] <winnie667> that's the point if OneMiner want's to use a 4GB usb
[20:22] <PsyberS_> ok i think i found my problem -> Jan 30 20:16:02 guyute pulseaudio[3427]: module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.
[20:22] <OneMiner> Once the OS loads the flash drive has to do about zero work. So speed matters not.
[20:22] <urlin2u> winnie667, a install like that will fill up the casper-rw is not really cleanable, and you can't upgrade the kernel.
[20:22] <PsyberS_> i assume sound indicator hides if there isnt any working sound devices?
[20:22] <POVaddct> sllide: still you can use any other live system in qemu to partition and mkfs the (previously created) disk image file
[20:22] <winnie667> OneMiner: when creating the usb live, unetbootin will ask you how much space you want to have for storing, max that out, you will have about 3.4 GB to store personal files and other packages
[20:22] <POVaddct> zykotick9: hybrid ISOs rock :)
[20:22] <Sicp> anybody know about syslog on Ubuntu? why it's called rsyslog, why its configuration file is not under "/etc/rsyslog.conf" but instead under "/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf"? why the kern.* facility isn't commented out and doesn't use its own logger "klog.d"?
[20:23] <OneMiner> Wow. winnie667 GUI?
[20:23] <zykotick9> sllide: i'm sorry, but what you are describing makes no sense to me personally.
[20:23] <sllide> POVaddct: okay, that sounds good
[20:23] <PsyberS_> oh ok i have sound devices, the indicator hides when it is muted... that seems useless
[20:23] <sllide> zykotick9: no problem, i got my answer :)
[20:23] <_godhelpme> how do i use a 3g modem from terminal
[20:23] <winnie667> urlin2u: I have tried doing a full install on a USB flash, an expensive fast usb 3 flash (on a usb 2 computer) and it's PAINFULLY slow, it's not even usable
[20:23] <winnie667> OneMiner: Yes GUI
[20:23] <winnie667> The whole way
[20:23] <OneMiner> Tight, thanks everybody.
[20:24] <winnie667> as urlin2u pointed out, you won't be able to update the kernel
[20:24] <POVaddct> sllide: qemu -cdrom livesys.iso -hda yourimage.img -boot d
[20:24] <MrKeuner> hello, my moms pc has lots of older linux images. Is there an easy way to clean them?
[20:24] <urlin2u> winnie667, ah different experience here my self a full install on a thumb ran better for me.
[20:24] <winnie667> but if i were you i would choose that over a full install
[20:25] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" to list them, then uninstall the ones you don't need
[20:25] <acerimmer> MrKeuner: you mean old kernels??
[20:25] <MrKeuner> yes old kernels and headers related to them
[20:25] <sllide> POVaddct: thanks!
[20:25] <em__> hi gnome shell in my pc frizzes... anyone knows why???
[20:26] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, what about headers and other related possible packages?
[20:26] <urlin2u> OneMiner, you could do a full install in a partition shrink it to the size that you want, and copy to the ghumb with gparted or a dd or a clone.
[20:26] <_godhelpme> zykotick9, could you help me with trying to use a 3g modem
[20:26] <hydrox24> em__: define frizzes...
[20:26] <hydrox24> _godhelpme: try going into network settings
[20:26] <zykotick9> MrKeuner: well, you could search / uninstall those as well, sorry i'm not sure what the key word search for that would be.  Good luck.
[20:26] <zykotick9> _godhelpme: sorry, i'm no help there.  good luck.
[20:27] <em__> blocks...
[20:27] <em__> and i cant do anything
[20:27] <hydrox24> _godhelpme: under the networks settings is a "wizard" or the like to help you through setting up a 3G modem
[20:27] <_godhelpme> hydrox24, all i have is terminal no gui
[20:27] <Somelauw> Hi, do you guys know something about feh?
[20:27] <hydrox24> em__: do you mean what is generally known as a freeze?
[20:27] <zykotick9> Somelauw: love it!
[20:27] <acerimmer> Somelauw: meh...
[20:27] <hydrox24> _godhelpme: OK, unfortunately it's out of my knowledge poool then, sorry.
[20:28] <MrKeuner> zykotick9, thanks.
[20:28] <MrKeuner> I was hoping for apt-get autoremove kernelrelatedstuff :)
