[07:42] <wylde> sacarlson, yes but he has to restrt the entire connection process to switch AP's
[07:42] <Canadian1296> They're on different channels
[07:42] <sacarlson> wylde: not it will auto roam and switch when needed
[07:42] <sacarlson> wylde: unless you custom setup to attache to the mac address a a wanted node
[07:43] <Muser> hopstafarian: yep, ThinkPads are about the nicest machines I have ever owned. + now with new kernel I get just a bit shittier battery life than I would with Windows (it used to be 50% reduction or so just a few years ago)
[07:43] <MestreLion> it is swiching already... automatically... but existing connections are dropped
[07:43] <wylde> sacarlson, yes it will, however you still get disconnected from one network while you switch to the other
[07:43] <hopstafarian> wow, whole lotta networking competents up in here...liking it...so anyone here experienced with BeoWulf Clusters?
[07:43] <wylde> you have at least a few seconds of no network connection while you connect to the second AP
[07:43] <sacarlson> wylde: sure but invislbe for the most part on the client side
[07:44] <MestreLion> wylde: its less than seconds actually... but it's enough for my downloads to interrup and i need to resume them
[07:44] <wylde> sacarlson, if you are downloading or streaming it will drop that connection
[07:45] <sacarlson> wylde: well if your streaming maybe you won't be carrying your computer from upstairs to down to make it reconect
[07:45] <wylde> MestreLion,  exactly. So that's why you need to extend your primary wifi network rather than use 2 separate APs
[07:45] <MestreLion> since there is some overlapping in coverage while im mid-way, the "recconection" is almost instaly...
[07:45] <wylde> sacarlson, that seems to be exatly what MestreLion is wanting to do
[07:46] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, oh crap, if the switchover is that quick and its just the browser that is hitching th dls...that eff it, and jsut get proficient at wget on the cli?
[07:46] <MestreLion> yes... sometimes i need to move from bedroom to dining room... I dont want my downloads to get interrupted
[07:46] <MestreLion> or skype calls, etc
[07:46] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: Then you need a more powerful AP that covers your whole house
[07:47] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, wget is pretty robust when it comes to resuming a dl?
[07:47] <wylde> MestreLion, no matter what you will have that happen using separate APs. I'm sure if you searched you might find a wired range extender
[07:47] <MestreLion> I can resume downloads, but that's not the point
[07:47] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, i know, but in the meantime...
[07:47] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, just saying..
[07:47] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: You either need an extender or a more powerful ap. end of story
[07:48] <stephans_> Ok so I originally asked about a bunch of stuff regarding memory and performance... havin suffered really slow and unresponsiveness of my system even at a real mem use of only 60%. I have solved the problem with the help on thins chat. vm.swappiness = 10
[07:48] <MestreLion> so there's no way to achieve that "semless roaming" using 2 not-so-powerful APs ?
[07:48] <stephans_> the system is now at 80% mem and still responsive
[07:48] <wylde> MestreLion, I'd say no
[07:48] <stephans_> still wakes from sleep
[07:48] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: No
[07:49] <MestreLion> stephans_: you can even set it to 0 if you sure your physical RAM is enough for all your need... swap will only be used for hibernate
[07:50] <MestreLion> Canadian1296: and what exactly is an extender?
[07:50] <Canadian1296> MestreLion: It simply rebroadcasts an existing network instead of making a new one
[07:51] <MestreLion> but that "rebroadcasting" communication between the 2 can't be done wired?
[07:52] <JermBob> whats the best most secure httpd for ubuntu
[07:52] <JermBob> ?
[07:52] <MestreLion> because from bedroom I can barely "see" the living room signal... it's very very poor
[07:52] <wylde> MestreLion, I've even built a "cantenna" that gave me a 35% signal gain over a store bought 7 dbm gain antenna
[07:53] <MestreLion> so I think the extender would suffer the same problem
[07:53] <wylde> *dB not dbm
[07:53] <sacarlson> MestreLion: I think I have seen like infrastructure mode in at least one of my access point but I never have more than one active to play with it
[07:54] <JermBob> ??
[07:55] <MestreLion> JermBob: Apache2 not secure enough?
[07:55] <JermBob> yup
[07:55] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, i'm no expert, but i run a relatively seamless 'roam' enterprise over a large 20K+ environs ...grocery store w/ stationary w/l scale tech, roaming rf handheld devices, various(unpredictable) mobile devices and laptops...all seems to work as close to seamlessly as  possible (never had a complaint, and i'm the only one to complain to, so pretty sure that it's not happening, or i know some pretty passive aggresive individuals...) and from that exp
[07:55] <hopstafarian> erience have to say this " the only fails that i've had, are when I failed to get OCD with the physical placement...)(everything else being equal, and that i didn't miss something on the software/firmware/config side of things...
[07:55] <JermBob> just thought there may be better and smaller footprinted ones around now
[07:55] <JermBob> apache was my choice a while ago
[07:56] <JermBob> thanks
[07:57] <MestreLion> JermBob: try Nginx
[07:59] <MestreLion> well, thanks guys for all the help
[08:01] <hopstafarian> we even run two segmented networks (public and private) off the same (wah-waaugh) copper adsl pair, and still experience relatively few bottlenecks...really the only complaints come from where i effed up on the overlap, or failed to consider a structure, device (or failed to consider the reception limitations of the types of device that are most commonly used in that area...
[08:01] <MestreLion> i'm a bit disappointed that this can't be done with 2 wired "cheapo" wifi routers, but i can live with that then... a more powerful AP would cost like 5 times as much, and would need to placed mid-way (wich would be the batherrom or the aisle, not great places for an AP to be :P
[08:01] <hopstafarian> signal=fuel=brains
[08:02] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, my point, was i think it can be, but you might have to reconsider placement...
[08:02] <hopstafarian> ?
[08:03] <Wi1d> \/c
[08:03] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, but then again, i'm considered kindof a tard by my peers..aka: people that actually know whats up...
[08:06] <MestreLion> i'm open to any suggestions hopstafarian... the scenario is: the 2 places i want coverage are like 15~20m apart, with lots of walls between. each of my current routers cover each area just fine (dinner table is 3m apart from #1, my bed is like 2m apart from #2). #1 and #2 routers are conneted to each other via lan cable (since they can't "see" each other via wireless)
[08:07] <Canadian1296> Sounds like you need a better AP
[08:11] <hopstafarian> MestreLion, what i usually do at this point, is build a scale model...either physically, or virtually...and i move shit around until it looks right, then i use the signal testing equip that i can get me hands on, to refine/debunk that preconception...if you have a smartphone, there are plenty of apps that will test and log your signal strength...
[08:13] <MestreLion> Canadian1296: a better AP (linksys, 2 antennas, etc) here in Brazil costs like 300, while a cheap dlink cost 70 each (and I already have 2 of them)
[08:14] <cpruitt> I've got a server down right now and am completely confused.  Apache won't start and throws "Syntax error on line 204 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/fcgid.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[08:14] <hopstafarian> then map out the weak areas, and move your model around until the weak areas are either eliminated or the negative effects of those weak areas are ameliorated as much as you experience will allow....once again, kinda an idiot, probably should do the opposite of what i propose...
[08:14] <cpruitt> fcgi worked fine up until now.  Just got a page in the middle of the night
[08:15] <cpruitt> can anyone tip me off on what / how to check or reinstall fcgi?  I'm really not a sysadmin guy but ended up needing to handle this
[08:16] <amrik> Hi I am trying to unbind Super-D from minimizing all my windows but I can't seem to find the relevant setting in Unity
[08:16] <gj> howto "inject" own scripts into the workflow of the Network Manager? I have to wake up a gateway server just before starting the dhcpcd.

[08:17] <auronandace> amrik: unity uses compiz, so the setting is likely in ccsm (which you'll need to install)
[08:17] <saju_m> i want to copy a block device (/dev/blabla) from remote server. For that i have to 'DD' that block device, then 'tar' it then, copy via 'scp'. How it in one command or one step. I want to create a script and run on remote server. I also want to do sparse.

[08:18] <amrik> in general, where are the super-* key bindings managed?
[08:18] <amrik> i would like to set up my dotfiles so i can keep these things around

[08:24] <tryx> hi guys, I'm having a really weird graphics issue with server LTS
[08:24] <tryx> the first 3 columns of my console are cut off
[08:24] <tryx> no X, direct framebuffer
[08:25] <bazhang> shivam7074, what about with other music players
[08:26] <ronalde> Dutch users have a serious bug (#938904) in unity-lens-video because single quotes don't get escaped. Because of the visibility of the Video Lens this is a real serious bug for Dutch users. Unfortunaltely the mentioned bug (to which I attached a simple patch) is marked as a duplicate of #936141 which is unaccessable (marked a private). What to do?
[08:27] <shivam7074> i m a new user is there any other music players also???
[08:27] <bazhang> !players | shivam7074 take your choice
[08:27] <bazhang> bug #938902
[08:27] <shivam7074> i hav to download???
[08:27] <bazhang> whoops
[08:28] <bazhang> !software | shivam7074 yes here is how
[08:28] <bazhang> bug #938904
[08:29] <bazhang> bug #936141
[08:29] <ronalde> #936141 is marked private (I've never seen this before)?
[08:29] <bazhang> ronalde, seems not private, but does not exist
[08:30] <ronalde> bazhang, o it's deleted?
[08:30] <bazhang> perhaps we have to file a bug against launchpad
[08:30] <ronalde> (that's a creative way to get releases out ;)
[08:31] <bazhang> ronalde, affects all users correct? not just Dutch users
[08:31] <ronalde> bazhang, all users who happen to have single quotes in path names
[08:31] <bazhang> ronalde, is this in 11.10?
[08:31] <ronalde> 12.04
[08:31] <auronandace> !12.04 | ronalde
[08:31] <ronalde> unity-lens-video 0.3-0ubuntu1
[08:31] <bazhang> ah okay 12.04 is in #ubuntu+1 ronalde
[08:32] <ronalde> bazhang, thanks... will try there
[08:32] <madeline> has anyone tried the gma 3150 chipset with 12.04 beta 1? any improvements
[08:32] <bazhang> madeline, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04
[08:36] <Razer> I put Ubuntu on a thumb drive without the knowledge my BIOS doesn't support launching from a USB 2.0, how do I safely clear my thumb drive so I can use it normally?
[08:36] <tryx> razer: just reformat it and it should be fine
[08:37] <Razer> tryx, while I'm at it, I hear it's possible to reserve 2 gigs of space on the thumb drive as virtual ram? How do I do that?
[08:37] <Razer> (I'm using Vista, btw)
[08:38] <tryx> when you insert it, it should ask you what you want to do with it
[08:38] <tryx> one of the options is something like speedstart (I forget the exact name of the tech)
[08:38] <tryx> select that
[08:38] <auronandace> Razer: windows help is in ##windows
[08:38] <Razer> Windows Readyboost?
[08:38] <Razer> auronandace, okay
[08:38] <tryx> that
[08:39] <tryx> i solved my console issue btw, modprobe blacklist ALL OF THE THINGS -_-
[08:40] <Razer> o_o' wow, this channel has a lot of people compared to ##windows
[08:42] <Fleck> Razer yeah - windows users dont know how to IRC usually ;P

[09:15] <Saalko> Hi there. I installed bumblebee. (I hope it works ^^) but I don't know how to start an application. I don't understand the bumblebee help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee can please say someone what did I need to say in the terminal? I wanna run the appilcation with: "./imprudence" and how I can say bumblebee it shall use my grafic ship in this application?
[09:15] <kali1> Not in laptop speakers
[09:17] <dr_willis> Saalko:  somthing like /path/to/thecommand depending on the tool
[09:18] <Saalko> I am in the path. I can run the application with: "./imprudence" but it's slow, because he uses my GPU as grafik chip. The help page says I shall run in this form:
[09:18] <Saalko> $ optirun [options] <application> [application-parameters]
[09:18] <dr_willis> Saalko: if it's in the current directory then  ./whatevet is a shortcut for the full. path
[09:19] <Saalko> but I don't know which of thm variables and what I shall type in instead of the variables.
[09:19] <Saalko> Yes the problem is. he just run the application. but without bumblebee.
[09:19] <dr_willis> optirun programname.      perhaps
[09:20] <Saalko> (bumblebee enables my grafic ship. without my grafik ship. it's very very slow.
[09:20] <dr_willis> there is a bumblebee Channel i tbink
[09:21] <Saalko> ah optirun ./impudence was the right command.
[09:21] <Saalko> okay thanks. but there's still an error. sighs. but I'll go on asking in bumblebee channel. But it seems everyone there is asleep ^^
[09:21] <Saalko> thanks all

[09:22] <MagePsycho> guys anyone know how to unzip from url.. i eman tar -zxvf http://some-url/file.tar.gz
[09:23] <dr_willis> MagePsycho:  use wget to get the file and a pipe. perhaps
[09:23] <kali1> dr_willis: sound is not coming from laptop speakers but working properly in Headphones , I am using UBuntu 10.04
[09:23] <DeltaSaucer> Have I gone insane, or does Ubuntu not have a "reboot" feature? Just shut down, hibernate, etc.?
[09:23] <dr_willis> i rarely mess with sound issues.
[09:23] <MagePsycho> dr_willis: why i am doing is that i have gb of tar file and i have very limited space in my server
[09:24] <MagePsycho> dr_willis: will that download the tar file in our server?
[09:24] <aithox> hi.. i've an executable flashPlayer how can i make it default player for flash.swf??
[09:24] <bluefrog> DeltaSaucer, reboot option is shown once you hit shutdown
[09:24] <dr_willis> kali1:  i see variants of thar question all the time. may be threads on it un the forums and askubuntu.com
[09:24] <aithox> in older version of ubuntu i can run with custom commands
[09:25] <dr_willis> MagePsycho:  no idea how much space that pipeing would use
[09:25] <ali_> what  can i do to upgrade my os
[09:26] <MagePsycho> dr_willis: can you give me the command please?
[09:26] <dr_willis> !upgrade

[09:47] <ubi_> that is ubuntu bangladesh support channel
[09:47] <LauraCroft> #linuxfr
[09:47] <ikonia> ubi_: it's not a valid channel
[09:47] <ubi_> oh
[09:47] <crizzy> VictorCL: and releases happen always .04 and .10. with only one exception so far which was 6.06, which was delayed 2 months to give it extra stability
[09:47] <cpruitt> Trying to learn more about Linux to perform file backups for user accounts. If a .tar.gz is made for a user's home directory (using virtualmin backup) but the file is owned by a user, is it possible to modify the ownership to make it openable by any user on any system?
[09:48] <LauraCroft> Hi
[09:48] <bootris> I hunt ppls.. IndianShroomer, i would get a 23 quart Presto PC
[09:48] <LauraCroft> How can I connect to a specific chat?
[09:48] <cpruitt> My concern is, if the box dies and the user no longer exists, a backup is useless if I can't get into the data I backed up.
[09:48] <LauraCroft> I'm lost..
[09:48] <ikonia> bootris: hi, this is an ubuntu support channel, do you need help
[09:48] <ikonia> LauraCroft: join #freenode channel and ask for help with using irc

[09:50] <Crat_OS> im so frustrated right now with ubuntu
[09:50] <LauraCroft> ok sorry
[09:50] <LauraCroft> thx a lot
[09:50] <Crat_OS> Is there a way I can upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10
[09:51] <Crat_OS> 11.10 is so damn buggy for me.. Im using gnome-shell and for some reason ushare does not want to work to my 360, samba shares are completely broken and links are not showing up in any of my web browsers
[09:51] <priyankmehta17> Hi
[09:52] <woozly> guys how to make zoom on hover in Unity?
[09:52] <woozly> like macos
[09:52] <Crat_OS> hey guys
[09:52] <ikonia> Crat_OS: wait until 12.04 is released.
[09:52] <Crat_OS> if you hold the backspace key a cool sound happens
[09:52] <hansisolo> Crat_OS, if you are unsure how to upgrade, beta and release candidates might not be appropiate to you.
[09:53] <Crat_OS> I should of just stuck to 10.04
[09:53] <Crat_OS> nothing seems ot work on 11.10
[09:53] <Richard_Cavell> I stuck to 10.04
[09:53] <ikonia> Crat_OS: ok, install 10.04 then
[09:53] <Richard_Cavell> don't regret it at all
[09:54] <Crat_OS> ^ everything seems to work better.. is 11.10 just a 'toy' for lack of better words?
[09:54] <melvincv> I downgraded to 11.04
[09:54] <ikonia> Crat_OS: stop ranting
[09:54] <ikonia> Crat_OS: if you feel 10.04 is better for you, I suggest using 10.04
[09:55] <Crat_OS> ikonia: stop suggesting the obvious
[09:55] <ikonia> Crat_OS: it's clearly not obvious or you would have done it
[09:55] <maum> I cannot hear sound when screensaver activated
[09:55] <Crat_OS> If you have nothing thats not informative then don
[09:56] <ikonia> Crat_OS: you've not asked for information, just ranted, which is why I'm telling you to stop please.
[09:56] <Crat_OS> don't say anything at all..
[09:56] <ikonia> Crat_OS: if you want a solution, and you've found 10.04 is better for you, it genuinly may be better downgrading to 10.04, while waiting to see how 12.04 works out (in terms of your needs)
[09:56] <ubi_> should i check "caonical partners" box in software sources?
[09:56] <Crat_OS> ikonia: and your just being a douche which is why im telling you politely to stfu
[09:57] <ubi_> should i check "caonical partners" box in software sources will then i be able to install .run graphics driver
[09:58] <ikonia> ubi_: that has nothing to do with .run file
[09:58] <ikonia> ubi_: .run files are files on your local file system, nothing to do with repos
[09:58] <ubi_> why can't i run .run file
[09:58] <ikonia> ubi_: what are you trying to install ?
[09:58] <ubi_> it's my graphic driver
[09:58] <ikonia> ubi_: ok what video card do you have ?
[09:58] <ubi_> ati radeon hd 3200
[09:59] <ubi_> for aptop
[09:59] <ikonia> ubi_: ok, have you tried the ati drivers provided by the ubuntu hardware drivers tool ?
[09:59] <ubi_> yes i did, both of them, but one shows error while installing, the other just dont work after installed, graphics is choppy
[10:00] <hiexpo> hola
[10:00] <ikonia> ubi_: ok, so have you looked at if your card is supported in Linux, and if so what driver "versions" you need ?
[10:00] <ubi_> catalysts 11.11 i think, let me check
[10:01] <hack_> hyy ubi
[10:01] <ikonia> ubi_: worth checking, it's important not to put random "wrong" stuff on your sytem, especially when provided by binary files
[10:01] <ubi_> AMD Catalyst™ 11.11 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver
[10:02] <ikonia> ubi_: ok, so have you looked at what version is in the ubuntu repo ?
[10:02] <ubi_> how can i do that
[10:02] <ubi_> in software sorces?
[10:02] <ikonia> ubi_: look in the package manager what version is available
[10:02] <ubi_> aha ok
[10:03] <ikonia> ubi_: no point putting something else on the system until you know what your dealing with
[10:03] <ubi_> where is package manager :)
[10:03] <ikonia> ubi_: software center
[10:03] <ubi_> ok...
[10:08] <hack_> hyy ubi
[10:08] <ubi_> hi
[10:09] <mnk0> if my box has a kernel panic
[10:09] <mnk0> where are the logs?
[10:09] <ikonia> on screen
[10:09] <mnk0> is there anychance it writes to syslog
[10:10] <ikonia> no
[10:10] <mnk0> shitz
[10:10] <mnk0> trying to do investigation on root cause
[10:10] <ikonia> no need for that
[10:10] <mnk0> well would be nice
[10:10] <mnk0> to know
[10:10] <ubi_> i have ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphic driver in "additional drivers" but it wont work when i activate it
[10:10] <ikonia> if you have to swear, don't use the channel,
[10:10] <ikonia> ubi_: ranting about it won't change anything - getting the information I suggested, will
[10:11] <ubi_> im trying to find it! :)
[10:12] <TA5K> Hi, the standard Backup tool does it incremental backups? Or how does ist store data? If the backup medium is low on space what happens?
[10:13] <kbotnen> hi, Im trying to use pklocalauthority to let users authenticate themself for the software center. but do the org.debian.apt.policy override the pklocal?
[10:16] <ubi_> i searched all software center top to down and i cant find anything named package manager :3
[10:16] <ikonia> ubi_: software center IS the package manager
[10:16] <ubi_> oh lol let me check version
[10:18] <ubi_> yay i find it software-center 5.0.4
[10:18] <ikonia> ubi_: not the software center version !!! the ati driver version
[10:18] <ubi_> oh let me check
[10:18] <ikonia> use some common sense, why do we care about the package manager version
[10:19] <ikonia> ubi_: I asked you to check the ati modules versions, to confirm what version ubuntu wanted to install, why do you care about the software center version
[10:19] <ikonia> think about what you are doing
[10:20] <ubi_> idk, im new to ubuntu, i dont understand yet how things work
[10:21] <hroi> hi,
[10:21] <ubi_> looks like there is no ati drivers in software center
[10:21] <ikonia> ubi_: there will be,
[10:21] <ikonia> ubi_: that's why you see them in the hardware drivers tool
[10:21] <ubi_> yes
[10:22] <ubuxubu> does anyone know how to install the online game 2nd life in ubuntu
[10:23] <ubi_> i found in software center ati binary Xorg drver fglrx 2:8.881-0ubuntu4.1 is that it
[10:23] <velko> ubuxubu, i did this a couple of year ago. iirc you just download the archive from their web site, decompress it and run the supplied binary from it. nothing to do at all
[10:24] <ikonia> ubi_: interesting, I can't see how that version number releates
[10:24] <juanchi> hii, im trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a PowerBook G4 powerpc! the live cd doesnt detect my hard drive at all, the syslogs complains about "module i82365 not found", btw the HD is a Hitachi ATA/IDE... other livecd's detects the HD just fine.. I guess im missing some module
[10:25] <ubi_> my additional drivers shows me no number, just ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver
[10:26] <ikonia> ubi_: The version number should be in the package manager, but it doesn't seem to relate to the version numbers from ati (that I can see)
[10:27] <ubiguy> how do i install i386 libs for amd64 ver of lubuntu?
[10:27]  * Hybridsix Client Disconnected - Bounced Out
[10:28]  * ubiguy Client Disconnected - AIDS
[10:28] <Myrtti> !away > Hybridsix
[10:28] <ubi_> right now i have graphic driver:unknows, expirience:standard
[10:30] <ubi_> but when i tried ubuntu from usb stick, before installing it, it worked fine
[10:30] <ubiguy> -----> how do i install i386 libs for amd64 ver of lubuntu? <-----
[10:30] <Kartagis> do you guys know of a broken link checker for websites behind CAS?
[10:30] <janus_> server irc.pirc.pl
[10:30] <ikonia> ubi_: boot from the livecd, look in the xorg log and see what xorg driver it's using
[10:31] <ubi_> ok bb...
[10:31] <ubi_> be back
[10:32] <pengw> hi thre
[10:33] <pengw> hi there
[10:33] <pengw> is there an alternative for unetbootin?
[10:34] <MadsRC> Ubuntu's build in programme
[10:34] <MadsRC> ehm...
[10:34] <MadsRC> Startup Disk Creator i think it is
[10:34] <pengw> i  want to install backtrack 5 from usb
[10:34] <pengw> or actually install backtrack into it.
[10:34] <ikonia> pengw: ok, the guys in #backtrack-linux can help with that
[10:34] <pengw> thx madsrc i know that one but i think it just for ubuntu
[10:35] <dr_willis> pendrivelinux site has alrernatives
[10:36] <pengw> thx
[10:37] <ubiguy> guys
[10:37] <crooks306> is there a way to turn of channel events in xchat?
[10:38] <DJones> crooks306: Right click on the channel name, there's an option to hide joins, parts etc
[10:38] <dr_willis> i think so. but you nay need to dig into uts settings and events
[10:39] <pangolin> crooks306: right click on the channel name
[10:39] <crooks306> thanks DJones
[10:39] <dr_willis> joins and parts aer easy.
[10:39] <crooks306> expected a global
[10:39] <dr_willis> i was thinking modes and ither specials
[10:40] <dr_willis> there is some global settings. but you use the commands to set a lot if them. nit the gui
[10:41] <pangolin> crooks306: /set irc_conf_mode on and then /gui apply
[10:42] <pangolin> crooks306: https://toxin.jottit.com/xchat_set_variables if you want to look into it deeper
[10:43] <juanchi> doesn anybody knows of any existing ubuntu oneiric repositories for PowerPc? ports.ubuntu.com seems to be the only one and Its down right now
[10:44] <crooks306> I would strongly suggest debian if you're playing on a ppc
[10:45] <crooks306> That's far from the target audience for Ubuntu I reckon
[10:45] <eagle-eyes-UK> need some advice on adobe reader in Unbuntu 11.10
[10:45] <dr_willis> i gave up on ppc. sold my old mac.
[10:45] <velko> juanchi, packages.ubuntu.com. but it does not show anything about i82365
[10:46] <ubuxubu> velko i wish i knew wut u meant
[10:46] <ubuxubu> how do i decompress it
[10:46] <crooks306> I still have a couple old macs.  last year around this time our local LUG spent a day and most of a night trying to see how many weird old machines we could get to boot
[10:47] <crooks306> the old power macs were surprisingly easy
[10:48] <velko> ubuxubu, right click on the file you have downloaded and select "extract all"
[10:49] <ubuxubu> ok then it will unfold for me
[10:49] <ubuxubu> does 2nd life run good in ubuntu
[10:49] <velko> ubuxubu, change into the directory which is created by this process and click on the secondlife file. if it asks to display or to run it, then choose to run it
[10:50] <velko> ubuxubu, i don't know. i don't use ubuntu
[10:50] <velko> ubuxubu, neither second life
[10:50] <ubuxubu> wut do u  use
[10:50] <velko> ubuxubu, debian proper
[10:50] <ubuxubu> hmmm
[10:51] <ubuxubu> i cant imagine why
[10:51] <velko> ubuxubu, this is really offtopic
[10:51] <ubuxubu> ty
[10:52] <Silver`> i don't think he ment it as a compliment :)
[10:52] <ubuxubu> ty 2 silver for clarifying
[10:53] <a7x> how do i get wpa2 work on oneiric and broadcom chipset? (mbp 7.1)
[10:54] <ubuxubu> seems like it works automatically when u run buntu inside of windows
[10:57] <crooks306> try installing wpasupplicant
[10:58] <crooks306> not sure if that package is still current
[10:58] <crooks306> a7x, ^
[10:58] <a7x> ok crooks306
[10:59] <newhaskeller> does anyone have experience installing ubuntu on mac
[10:59] <newhaskeller> without bootcamp or diskutility?
[11:00] <damo22> newhaskeller, yes
[11:00] <damo22> newhaskeller, but i dont recommend it
[11:01] <newhaskeller> damo22: i have no other option
[11:01] <damo22> newhaskeller, you need a kernel that supports EFI and the /boot/efi/bootx64.efi grub bootloader
[11:01] <newhaskeller> its an old mac
[11:01] <damo22> newhaskeller, how old?
[11:01] <newhaskeller> 2008, leopard
[11:02] <damo22> newhaskeller, is it intel i386 or x86_64?
[11:02] <newhaskeller> damo22, 1386
[11:02] <newhaskeller> damo22, *i386
[11:02] <damo22> newhaskeller, in that case it might be tricky and you will need to build your own version of grub
[11:04] <damo22> newhaskeller, i havent actually tried it on your hardware but i have an idea how to make it work
[11:04] <newhaskeller> damo22, do you know of any guides or tutorials to do this?
[11:04] <a7x> wpasupplicant it's alredy uptodate crooks306, should i install it from sources? :\
[11:05] <damo22> newhaskeller, do you have a spare hour to play with it now?
[11:06] <damo22> newhaskeller, what kind of mac ? imac? mb?
 does anyone have experience installing ubuntu on mac
[11:06] <a7x> i did it yesterday
[11:07] <damo22> a7x he has a very old one that doesnt support x86:64
[11:07] <a7x> oh
[11:07] <harsh343> I got this message when i try sudo command what i can do
[11:07] <newhaskeller> macbook
[11:07] <newhaskeller> the worst purchase I ever made, after alienware
[11:07] <newhaskeller> a7x, Optical drive slot loader is screwed. Disk utility won't partition. What do I do?
[11:07] <newhaskeller> Can't even use install disk to partition it
[11:07] <harsh343> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[11:07] <harsh343> help ,e
[11:07] <harsh343> me*
[11:08] <harsh343> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[11:08] <damo22> newhaskeller, i can make you a usb installer
[11:08] <a7x> harsh343 chmod it to 0440 then
[11:08] <harsh343> a7x, so what i can do
[11:08] <harsh343> ?
[11:08] <newhaskeller> damo22, that'll be really great
[11:09] <damo22> newhaskeller, pm?
[11:09] <a7x> harsh343, quick answer: "man chmod" and read how to set the mode
[11:09] <newhaskeller> damo22, im new to irc.. how do I pm
[11:09] <newhaskeller> (sorry for my ignorance)
[11:09] <crooks306> can you get into the bios on a macbook?
[11:10] <damo22> macbook doesnt have a bios
[11:10] <a7x> no crooks306 we run "EFI"
[11:10] <crooks306> is there something bios-like?
[11:10] <newhaskeller> it has some EFI system thing
[11:10] <damo22> yes called EFI
[11:10] <crooks306> similar to what my new mobo has?
[11:10] <harendra> does ubuntu  or intel anyone provides intel gma 3100 graphics driver for ubuntu
[11:10] <a7x> harsh343, slow answer: sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoers  <- but do it only if you're sure it should be 0440 :)
[11:11] <MagePsycho> how to tar the file under a folder by excluding some folder?
[11:11] <a7x> crooks306 i think so, EFI it's starting to spread on PCs too
[11:11] <st0ner> hey guys, lately when i try to use apt-get install, it doesnt download the package, just hangs and keeps trying, like this: http://pastebin.com/7Pp9TTqw
[11:11] <MonkeyDust> MagePsycho  http://linuxmanpages.com/man1/tar.1.php
[11:11] <st0ner> anyone know what might cause this?
[11:12] <peteyg> I'm ssh'ing into my school's Natty box and lynx is complaining that the /tmp/ dir is full, I tried using $quota -uv <username> but nothing is outputted (no errors, nothing). Am I using the wrong command to look at my disk quota?
[11:12] <a7x> looks like you have connection problems st0ner
[11:12] <st0ner> a7x, the server is online, im connected to it from my office
[11:12] <harsh343> a7x, this is my output http://pastebin.com/8ACbxSWw
[11:12] <a7x> try to ping it a little bit, then retry
[11:13] <sacarlson> st0ner: other than first spelling error I think it worked
[11:13] <st0ner> im thinking my ipv6 HE tunnel might be messing up but i dont know exactly
[11:13] <a7x> harsh343, well try "sudo su"
[11:13] <st0ner> sacarlson, yes, it works till it tries to fetch the files, then it just keeps trying over and over
[11:14] <st0ner> a7x, i can ping it fine
[11:14] <harsh343> a7x, again the same sudo su
[11:14] <a7x> st0ner, try again then
[11:14] <harsh343> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[11:14] <MagePsycho> tar -zcvf file.tar.gz folder/* but want to exclude some folder
[11:14] <sacarlson> st0ner: well try another repository other than china then,  maybe japan next time
[11:14] <MagePsycho> howz that possible
[11:14] <a7x> harsh343, check the sudoers file
[11:14] <crooks306> peteyg, what does df /tmp say?
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> MagePsycho  try --exclude
[11:14] <st0ner> sacarlson, lol thats Switzerland dude
[11:15] <harsh343> a7x, where ?
[11:15] <st0ner> sacarlson, does it make any difference if the server is using ipv6 or ipv4 only?
[11:15] <a7x> sacarlson, chn = china... ch = suiss :P
[11:15] <peteyg> crooks306: used 100%. yikes!
[11:15] <a7x> harsh343 gedit /etc/sudoers
[11:15] <sacarlson> a7x: st0ner: then try china next time instead of suiss
[11:15] <crooks306> peteyg, that partition is probably full.
[11:16] <peteyg> crooks306: I'm guessing /tmp is a globally shared folder? Wonder if I can go in there and delete some stuff...
[11:16] <st0ner> a7x, is sacarlson trying to be funny and failing?
[11:16] <harsh343> a7x, output is http://pastebin.com/kx8akqrD
[11:16] <sacarlson> st0ner: there are more than one repository just try any other
[11:16] <a7x> st0ner no idea dude :P
[11:16] <crooks306> peteyg, /tmp is probably on the same partition as / or worse yet everything is in one partition
[11:17] <a7x> harsh343, the fix it's a little bit difficult, you messed up sudoers
[11:17] <st0ner> sacarlson, alright, but can you tell if the fact im using ipv6 messes up with the repo?
[11:17] <crooks306> peteyg, if you have appropriate permissions you can safely clear our /tmp
[11:17] <crooks306> out*
[11:17] <harsh343> a7x, so what i can do ?
[11:17] <peteyg> crooks306: Oh god, the whole disk is full!
[11:17] <harsh343> can i copy this file from other system and paste it
[11:17] <a7x> harsh343, first, next time remember to use visudo to modify /etc/sudoers
[11:17] <eon_> Hello , when converting from rpm to deb with alien , I see this message ( 	debian/rules binary 2>&1 ) .. Is it a problem ?
[11:17] <sacarlson> st0ner: I don't think so https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[11:17] <xiao> hi gay's
[11:17] <harsh343> a7x, ok
[11:17] <xiao> i hav problem
[11:18] <a7x> harsh343, no you can't because you're not root it's a bad situation
[11:18] <xiao> computer not found my phone
[11:18] <crooks306> peteyg, is there separate partitions for /home?
[11:18] <xiao> :x
[11:18] <peteyg> crooks306: Any command to tell me what files I have permissions to modify once I'm in a directory?
[11:18] <harsh343> a7x, then ?

[11:18] <xiao> please
[11:18] <xiao> help
[11:18] <MagePsycho> MonekyDust:can you help with problem exclude command
[11:19] <crooks306> peteyg, can you sudo?
[11:19] <a7x> harsh343: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9780579&postcount=5
[11:19] <peteyg> crooks306: Nope. Tried it once and the school's sys admin barked at me, lol!
[11:19] <xiao> anyone
[11:19] <aithox> help! i can run *.swf file via terminal like this.. " flahplayer myflash_file.swf" but how can i make default application for flash file ???
[11:19] <damian0815> hey alls.. initramfs-tools/scripts question. i'm calling modprobe in my init-bottom script and it's causing the script to silently fail (i'm not checking the return code, it's just aborting). the module i'm trying to load is builtin but i can't guarantee this. is there any way to test this fast?
[11:20] <peteyg> xiao: Your problem is very ambiguous... What phone, and what do you mean "not found"?
[11:20] <harsh343> a7x, It will takes long time
[11:20] <a7x> well yes, it's an important file you need to learn how to handle it :)
[11:20] <xiao> I hav Sony Ericsson W595, not found = does not show his.
[11:21] <crooks306> peteyg, you're likely fucked.  the system admin didn't set up the box properly
[11:21] <harsh343> any other command because i have no live cd
[11:21] <peteyg> crooks306: Lol. Fuck.
[11:21] <crooks306> peteyg, you can try to cd into /tmp and rm files but you likely won't have proper permissions
[11:22] <a7x> harsh343, oh actually there is a way but it's even more difficult :\
[11:22] <peteyg> crooks306: If I go into /tmp and then tried rm -rf /. would it at least delete the files my applications created? Wouldn't I have perms to those? (linux n00b here :P)
[11:22] <harsh343> a7x, what happen if i restart my system ?
[11:23] <a7x> nothing, :)
[11:23] <xiao> peteyg, you understand me?
[11:23] <harsh343> a7x, nothing means ?
[11:23] <Myrtti> !language | crooks306
[11:23] <harsh343> I am not able to access ubuntu
[11:23] <harsh343> ?
[11:23] <mi3> Hi!
[11:23] <a7x> harsh343, no, you will be.
[11:23] <a7x> but it won't fix the problem
[11:23] <harsh343> a7x, ok means i am not able to use sudo
[11:23] <harsh343> right ?
[11:23] <crooks306> Myrtti, wasn't me that swore.  was directed at me.  careful with that...
[11:23] <a7x> harsh343, anyway you need to boot into single user mode
[11:24] <xiao> I do not know English very well.
[11:24] <a7x> it's the only other way that comes in my mind
[11:24] <harsh343> a7x, means ?
[11:24] <peteyg> crooks306: Yeah, I get you so far. Just curious if there was anyway to delete files in /tmp that I created (thereby assuming that I would have perms to delete as well)
[11:24] <engammalsko> I can only run ccsm as root.
[11:24] <Myrtti> crooks306: have another look...
[11:24] <harsh343> a7x, please give me some short steps
[11:24] <engammalsko> When I type "ccsm" it won't run.
[11:24] <mi3> Can someone tell me what is a data card? Also, How can I connect it to the internet by inserting my sim?
[11:24] <sacarlson> harsh343: sound to me like you would have to reboot into single user (recovery) mode and change that /etc/suders file there,  how and why did it get changed in the first place?
[11:25] <crooks306> Myrtti, oh you're right..  my bad.. didn't even realize it
[11:25] <engammalsko> But I can run ccsm without root user if I'm running Unity.
[11:25] <a7x> a7x, i need a few minutes to find it
[11:25] <a7x> ops, harsh343*
[11:25] <mi3> haha
[11:25] <sacarlson> harsh343: and it sound like its way outside your pay grade
[11:25] <st0ner> sacarlson, i changed them all to he UK repos, ran apt-get update and still the same, it hangs in "Get:1 ".. keeps trying for a while then it failes and try's to "Get:2 "

[11:27] <peteyg> crooks306: haha, ok...
[11:27] <crooks306> find /tmp/ -user peteyg -type f -exec rm -f {} \
[11:27] <st0ner> sacarlson, tbh i don tknow what that means exactly, but apache is running on that server fine without any issues, apache is using port 80
[11:27] <peteyg> crooks306: okay, I'll give that a go, thanks!
[11:27] <a7x> harsh343, i didn't try this way actually but if it doesn't work just come back here: reboot, then hold the "left shift" while booting grub
[11:27] <a7x> select "drop to root shell"
[11:28] <a7x> harsh343, and finally do "chmod 440 /mnt/drive/etc/sudoers"
[11:28] <a7x> reboot and check if works... if anything is different from what i said just come back here. I never tried single user mode on grub2
[11:29] <satyanash> What is the name of the gnome-user creation tool ?

[11:33] <crooks306> peteyg, missing a semicolon when i copy pasta.  add one to the end
[11:33] <peteyg> crooks306: Ah, okay.

[11:35] <MagePsycho> can anyone help me..  i want to tar the public_html folder but wants to exclude var/ folder
[11:35] <sacarlson> drag0nz: from this line you already gave Get:1 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  you already use port 80, but I did notice that is seems to get the same file two times
[11:36] <sacarlson> drag0nz: is this some kind of upgrade or something that has corrupted your repository with two repo at the same time?
[11:36] <MagePsycho> tar -zcvf public_html.tar.gz public_html/* --exclude "public_html/var"  --> didn't work for me
[11:37] <sacarlson> drag0nz: the http://  signifies port 80

[11:38] <crooks306> find /tmp/ -user yourusername -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
[11:38] <pengw> who know how to do that
[11:38] <crooks306> peteyg, ^^
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> MagePsycho  your line should be similar to this --> tar -cf all.tar --exclude test *
[11:38] <pengw> even bluefish 2.21 is not able to do that @_@ or any one got better alternative? THX
[11:38] <peteyg> crooks306: Thanks. So what does \; do at the end? \ is to start a new line, isn't it?
[11:39] <GhostWolf> hi all, does anyone know if there any sites that i can test to see if my webcam works while on ubuntu? i know before i upgraded to 11.10, in 11.04 i couldn't get my webcam to broadcast when in a chat site called tinychat.com.
[11:39] <drag0nz> sacarlson, no its not an upgrade, but yeah, it does have http:// infornt of each one of them
[11:40] <MagePsycho> MonkeyDust:  tar -zcvf public_html.tar.gz --exclude "public_html/var" public_html/*
[11:40] <MagePsycho> MonekyDust:is that fine?
[11:40] <sacarlson> drag0nz: maybe pastebin the repository list for us to take a look at
[11:40] <rexor> GhostWolf, In skype in settings menu is place when u can that your webcam is working
[11:40] <crooks306> peteyg, should be.  like i said.. copy pasted.. worked as it should for me
[11:40] <GhostWolf> and also im in tinychat right now and it seems im having an issue with the adobe flash setting, it won't let me select allow. and plus i can't hit close button, is there a way to automatically do this without going to the site itself?
[11:41] <peteyg> crooks306: Yay! That got rid of a whopping 12KB... I need to go headbutt that sys admin. Thanks for your help though! Slowly getting my way around linux and the terminal :)
[11:41] <GhostWolf> rexor, im not talking about skype. im talking about websites that allows you to chat via webcam not programs like skype
[11:42] <cancer> MonkeyDust: I have installed Kubuntu, and now to want to installed Audio and Video Drivers. No sound & no Display Drivers. Please Help
[11:42] <peteyg> GhostWolf: AFAIK, you can't set those settings elsewhere... Flash is lame like that :/
[11:42] <crooks306> peteyg, I'm guessing a bunch of you share this system and filled the drive.  since the whole sytem is in one partition user's home directories killed any free space for the rest of the system
[11:42] <saju_m> i have to test block device copy using command,  dd if=/dev/null bs=4096k | tar -czSf - , what are the ways to create a dummy block device ?
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> cancer  i'm not familiar with kubuntu or installing audio/video drivers, everything out of the box here
[11:43] <GhostWolf> peteyg, ok, but what does it means if it automatically has deny on the setting but i can't select allow or even hit the close button with my mouse?
[11:43] <harsh343> again the same problem
[11:43] <dr_willis> gho
[11:43] <harsh343> a7x,
[11:43] <cancer> MonkeyDust: where to consult?
[11:43] <peteyg> GhostWolf: Flash bugged out? Wouldn't be the first time (or the last...)
[11:43] <bazhang> cancer, what does jockey-kde show
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> cancer  here, maybe someone else knows
[11:43] <bazhang> cancer, also, what card is this
[11:43] <GhostWolf> peteyg, ok, is there a way to fix it?
[11:44] <dr_willis> GhostWolf:  seen that befor as a common flash issue. maybe some fixs at askubuntu.com or the forums
[11:44] <cancer> bazhang: it's new and untouched. Nvidia & and there also no sound
[11:44] <bazhang> cancer, what model of nvidia
[11:44] <peteyg> GhostWolf: what browser are you using?
[11:44] <dr_willis> cancer:  using hdmi audio or normal cables
[11:44] <drag0nz> sacarlson, alright, give me a minute
[11:45] <cancer> bazhang: Nvidia quadro
[11:45] <GhostWolf> dr_willis, ok i just want to double check to see if with the upgrade if i can use my webcam on the site such as tinychat.com. i know it works with skype after i had to install some files before upgrading
[11:45] <GhostWolf> peteyg, im using firefox
[11:45] <bazhang> cancer, please pastebin the output of lspci
[11:45] <bazhang> cancer, paste.ubuntu.com
[11:45] <peteyg> GhostWolf: If you're using Chrome, try something else. Else, try Chrome (reason I say this is because Chrome has it's own built-in Flash plugin separate from your sys-wide one)
[11:45] <crooks306> GhostWolf, does your webcam work in cheese?
[11:45] <peteyg> GhostWolf: So yeah, in that case try Chrome.
[11:46] <GhostWolf> crooks306, yes but i know theres some issues with certain sites cause my webcam is old
[11:46] <sacarlson> harsh343: I think you need to read this http://superuser.com/questions/306182/chmod-sudoers-without-using-sudo
[11:46] <GhostWolf> peteyg, ok let me check that
[11:46] <aithox> help! i can run *.swf file via terminal like this.. " flahplayer myflash_file.swf" but how can i make default application for flash file ???
[11:47] <GhostWolf> crooks306, even when i had issues with not getting it to work with skype, i was still able to have it work with cheese
[11:47] <drag0nz> sacarlson, here it is http://pastebin.com/TfDfx42F
[11:47] <sacarlson> drag0nz: ok reading
[11:47] <drag0nz> thanks for the help dude
[11:47] <harsh343> sacarlson, right now i am using password admin thenafter i try chmod 440 /etc/sudoers it works
[11:47] <harsh343> now
[11:47] <cancer> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/864930/
[11:48] <GhostWolf> peteyg, same issue in chrome with the flash setting.
[11:48] <peteyg> GhostWolf: Ugh... lame :(. Maybe a webcam issue like others have said?
[11:49] <GhostWolf> peteyg, might be, i was able to use tab and move around with it, and theres a webcam icon and it shows when that tab is selected that it doesn't see any webcam connected
[11:49] <crooks306> GhostWolf, that's strange.  I would think it would just be treated as a regular device regardless of what it is.  Also... webcams are really cheap these days >.>
[11:50] <a7x> harsh343, the did you do it?
[11:50] <a7x> then*
[11:50] <cancer> bazhang: ?
[11:50] <GhostWolf> crooks306, yes i know. but its linux/ubuntu. not everything is simplified these days as i find it. its not like windows when you can get the drivers if it needs to be upgraded or what not
[11:50] <harsh343> a7x, yes i am using password after su
[11:50] <takpar> :/
[11:50] <megasoft78> I have an issue with Ubuntu 11.10 using gcc 4.6 because when I try to use it to build my application and run the same application on Ubuntu 10.04 I get : version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found

[11:53] <megasoft78> anyone have any suggestions?
[11:53] <bazhang> megasoft78, why would you need that
[11:53] <a7x> you're welcome
[11:53] <megasoft78> bazhang: I want to create a cross distro build

[12:05] <drag0nz> sacarlson, bazhang, no, im not running debian, should i remove that line as is?
[12:05] <alfa_centaury> hi
[12:05] <sacarlson> drag0nz: at this point I'm not sure if you have already mixed debian with ubuntu if so I think you system is probly trashed
[12:06] <cancer_> bazhang: sorry kubuntu hanged, so i restarted my pc.
[12:06] <sacarlson> drag0nz: if for some reason that line was just added and nothing was installed then you might be lucky
[12:06] <sacarlson> drag0nz: yes you could try remove that line as I have already on your list to see what it does
[12:06] <cancer_> bazhang: what now, i have mentioned additional drivers details. (kubuntu: wubi / Host: windows)
[12:07] <delinquentme> ctrl+U LOVe
[12:07] <chown_> is there a way to vnc into a amc from ubuntu?
[12:09] <sacarlson> drag0nz: just so hapens my libssl-dev needed upgrade also and with that one line removed it is installing fine
[12:19] <MimosakaRyou> i cant find my usb drive mount point , i've checked fstab , mnt , but to no avail
[12:19] <sacarlson> drag0nz: so what's the plan or results?
[12:20] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: it should default to mount at /media
[12:21] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: sudo mount should display all mounted devices
[12:21] <MimosakaRyou> yeah i know , err how should i explain this
[12:22] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: sudo lsusb should list the device if seen on the usb port
[12:22] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: you can try disk utility and see if it's formated , if it's not it won't automount
[12:23] <MimosakaRyou> thanks sacarlson
[12:24] <samba35> has any one tryed ubuntu on/for mobile
[12:25] <gnaddel> Hi there, I have run into a little network problem with my htpc. For some reason I cannot reach it over it's hostname anymore (ssh, webserver etc.). Connecting to it's IP still works though and it seems to me that the hostname is still set correctly in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
[12:26] <sacarlson> samba35: it works on my small eeepc but I think it's too big and bloated to be used on something like a phone like adroid
[12:27] <samba35> what kind of hardware you have i am planning to buy a new phone for ubuntu  (just planning -then review )
[12:27] <samba35> eeepc ?
[12:27] <sacarlson> gnaddel: the ip addresses at /etc/hosts  are only used on the client side is that were you have them set?
[12:28] <sacarlson> samba35: eeepc is just a small notebook computer
[12:28] <popey> samba35: We don't have a product available for phone yet
[12:28] <popey> samba35: so I wouldn't base your phone buying decision on it
[12:28] <samba35> ok
[12:29] <sacarlson> samba35: but android is linux and much like debian/ubuntu
[12:29] <gnaddel> sacarlson: My /etc/hosts reads: <IP_ADDRESS>	localhost
[12:29] <gnaddel> <IP_ADDRESS>	noname.dummy.net	Zotac-box
[12:29] <metaphysicist> Does anyone know if the Camarabuntu project is still alive?
[12:29] <metaphysicist> ./msg nickserv identify !@#tesl4G
[12:29] <samba35> is it coming with version 12 .04 ?
[12:29] <metaphysicist> Fuck me.
[12:29] <sacarlson> gnaddel: is that what you want it to be?
[12:29] <gnaddel> sacarlson: Zotac-box is supposed to be the hostname. It worked until today

[12:30] <gnaddel> sacarlson: I'm not certain what the noname.dummy.net is supposed to do there though.
[12:30] <daniel__> i have instaled ubuntu 11.10 x64 and my unity is very slow and always crash anyone knows what is happening to it?
[12:30] <sacarlson> gnaddel: then you can add that zotac-box into the /etc/hosts file of the CLIENT side to make it resolve
[12:30] <samba35> metaphysicist, change your passwd ASAP
[12:30] <daniel__> itas a core i7 with 8gb ran and 1tb hd
[12:32] <woozly> Gnome freezed
[12:32] <woozly> how to kill it?
[12:32] <woozly> Unity I mean
[12:32] <sacarlson> gnaddel: there are many ways to get it to resolve with dns for example, not sure how it was resolved before
[12:33] <drchav> i ahve the same problem unity always freeze
[12:33] <hobbelt> sacarlson do you also happen to have experience with apache and httpd.conf directory settings?
[12:33] <sacarlson> hobbelt: yes some
[12:33] <gnaddel> sacarlson: Basically it's just supposed to make it possible to reach the box with the hostname instead of it's current IP over LAN.
[12:33] <sacarlson> hobbelt: even if I don't other here might so just ask
[12:34] <hobbelt> sacarlson i keep getting a "multiple directory not supported" error on thisone: http://pastebin.com/cv2CHH6P it looks good to me :s
[12:34] <sacarlson> gnaddel: do you want all systems to resolve with that name?  if so you would need to setup something like bind9 and edit configs to point to it
[12:34] <saju_m> tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive, http://dpaste.com/710414/
[12:35] <sacarlson> gnaddel: by all systems I mean all clients on that lan
[12:35] <gnaddel> sacarlson: I want all clients in the lan to be able to connect to the services on the ubuntu server via the hostname
[12:36] <sacarlson> gnaddel: ok then I suggest bind9
[12:36] <ronsonol> Installed 12.04 beta 1 AMD64 (xubuntu).  Seems entirely ready for primetime so far.
[12:36] <gnaddel> sacarlson: Ok thanks I'll look into it
[12:38] <drag0nz> sacarlson, ssorry for the delay dude.. i removed that line, i must have added it few months ago when i was installing a new program, it was manually added not automatic
[12:38] <zxiest> Hello everybody :-)
[12:38] <drag0nz> but i still have the same problem, it hangs trying to "get" the file at 0%
[12:38] <drag0nz> then it just keeps on trying
[12:39] <zxiest> I have ubuntu 11.10. I have two terminal windows open. When I minimize, they go in the panel. When I click on the button, it brings back one of them. Is there a way to be able to have all minimized windows appear in the panel instead of the program?
[12:40] <sacarlson> hobbelt: i don't see anything wrong off the top of my head but I've never seen those 4 top lines before
[12:41] <sacarlson> drag0nz: well it might still work depending on what you installed with debian attached,  it's a roll of the dice at this point what damage it may have caused
[12:41] <hobbelt> sacarlson the top 4 lines are fine, if i restart apache (/init.d) i get an error on rule 14 which is the 2nd directory statement.  "multiple directory statements not supported"  <-- thats weird because it should support multiple right?
[12:41] <a7x> anyway, i followed anything written here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Oneiric#Wireless_.28AirPort.29 but still i can't see the my wpa2 network in the list.
[12:42] <a7x> i also installed wpa_supplicant from debian sid
[12:42] <eon_> Hello ! I Ihave a problem after the instalation of Maya , I had "segmentation fault" when trying to run it .. any help ?
[12:42] <a7x> (debian wheezy)
[12:43] <sacarlson> hobbelt: I'm not sure I do have more than one directory in mine but I'm not totaly sure what file I was looking at
[12:43] <hobbelt> httpd.conf
[12:43] <sacarlson> hobbelt: oh ok I was compareing it to /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[12:43] <hobbelt> oh wait..
[12:44] <hobbelt> maybe phpmyadmin inserts them already
[12:44] <drag0nz> sacarlson, so its not an networking(ipv6) issue?
[12:44] <sacarlson> hobbelt: oh ya I only have a single directory in that file
[12:44] <sacarlson> hobbelt: yes I would think it does
[12:44] <hobbelt> sacarlson: if phpmyadmin inserts the same values as i do in httpd.conf -> thats an error
[12:44] <Dark|Code> hey
[12:45] <Dark|Code> *_*
[12:45] <hobbelt> sacarlson it does, hmmm
[12:45] <drag0nz> sacarlson, thing is, when i run apt-get update it works fine as well
[12:45] <sacarlson> hobbelt: yes I would take you customized myphpadmin out of there and maybe put it into the other file
[12:46] <sacarlson> drag0nz: yes it works fine for me I installed the file you tried to install with no problem with the small mod less that last line
[12:46] <hobbelt> sacarlson yap it works :). now lets see if its only available on my IP
[12:47] <sacarlson> drag0nz: if you start getting some total unpredictable stuf I would fully reinstall that system from scratch since no way to find all the files that debian put in
[12:47] <drag0nz> crap.. thats not cool
[12:47] <drag0nz> so far the only problem i have is what im here for
[12:47] <sacarlson> hobbelt: in phpmyadmin you can add other ip to access
[12:48] <sacarlson> hobbelt: but it defaults to only localhost access
[12:48] <hobbelt> sacarlson yap, but i couldnt access phpmyadmin, so thats a problem then :P
[12:48] <hobbelt> and sine its a VPS with server edition i dont have a GUI
[12:48] <chadale> I am trying to install using wubi onto an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop (core i7) and it keeps trying to install the AMD64 platform package. is this wrong? I'd prefer not to let it eat up my bandwidth downloading the wrong thing
[12:49] <sacarlson> hobbelt: well then you might have to ssh into the system and change it there
[12:49] <hobbelt> i did, it works now :)
[12:49] <germanyboy24> http://xeducation.info/2012/03/gorgeous-brunette-milf-teacher-punishes-her-student/
[12:49] <sacarlson> hobbelt: ok done deal
[12:49] <crizzy> :x
[12:49] <kk23> which command use to simplication commands for example i would write halt and run /sbin/halt
[12:49] <hobbelt> sacarlson problem was quiet simple: I defined a rule in httpd.conf which was partially present in apache.conf (phpmyadmin)  double entry = error
[12:50] <sacarlson> and it's beer time for me so I'll leave you all to the experts,  good luck to all of you

[12:51] <Andale> Hello I'm sorry for my English. I'm connect to a server linux with sftp protocol and I have modified symlink with gedit. When I have saved the file, gedit has replaced link as a real file.
[12:52] <freez00> how can  I enable the console output for the boot/start of ubuntu ? I can only see a blinking cursor
[12:53] <spitzi> Howdy. I'm using grub2 on Ubuntu 11.10. As you can see in http://paste.ubuntu.com/864220/ , grub knows I have a bootable WinXP in sdb1, but it doesn't feature it in the grub menu. How come, and how can I fix this ? Thanks.
[12:54] <spitzi> BRB. Answers will be much appreciated.

[13:05] <suman_> sdasas
[13:05] <ayhan> i was using windows 7, and after reboot there was a black part on the left of my screen
[13:06] <suman_> hello
[13:06] <ayhan> and i couldnt see the lower part of the screen
[13:06] <ayhan> so i had to change the resolution
[13:06] <WhereIsMySpoon> i thought this was the ubuntu channel o.o
[13:06] <ayhan> and when i used ubuntu
[13:06] <NimeshNeema> ayhan: are you sure you are on right channel ?
[13:06] <suman_> i dont know anything
[13:06] <ayhan> it was the same here
[13:06] <WhereIsMySpoon> maybe your graphics drivers crapped out
[13:06] <WhereIsMySpoon> redownload them
[13:07] <ayhan> from the windows right?
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> doesnt matter
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> whatever you want
[13:07] <dr_willis> bottom half of a lcd display can go bad. or top half. ive seen it in the past
[13:07] <NimeshNeema> ayhan: it could be h/w trouble !!!
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> yea but just after a reboot sounds like a software problem
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> rather than hw/
[13:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> h/w*
[13:07] <ayhan> well

[13:15] <Siegel-> hi! ive downloaded and installed adobe flash player as well as ubuntu extras package and i still cant play any videos on veehd.com or gorillavid. im supposdely missing some codec-c player plugin.
[13:15] <Siegel-> it only gives me an .exe file to download
[13:17] <brand> hi could someone help me in installing windows
[13:17] <brand> in installing ubuntu
[13:17] <brand> hi could someone help me in installing ubuntu dual boot
[13:17] <ikonia> brand: what are you installing, windows or ubuntu
[13:18] <OerHeks> Siegel-, grollavid & veehd play just fine, with flashplugin
[13:18] <ikonia> brand: ok, install windows, then install ubuntu, it will set everything up for you
[13:18] <Siegel-> OerHeks: then why isnt it working
[13:18] <brand> yes i have win 7 64 bit on my laptop
[13:18] <brand> how to install linux
[13:18] <brand> i am new to computers
[13:18] <Siegel-> OerHeks: nice nick btw
[13:18] <ikonia> brand: now install ubuntu then
[13:18] <ikonia> !install | brand
[13:19] <deepsa> hi all
[13:19] <brand> i dont want to use a cd/can i boot it from my external hard disk?
[13:19] <OerHeks> Siegel-, i don't know what is wrong, works here perfectly. so it should be possible to play vid's
[13:19] <deepsa> how can i disable dnsmasq on my system so it doesnt run at all , i am using ubuntu 10.04 LTS and i have got dnsmasq-base installed
[13:19] <Siegel-> OerHeks: i guess i should check aain if its installed.
[13:19] <brand> ???
[13:20] <deepsa> removing dnsmasq-base removes libvirt-bin and other things which are required for the system currently so any alternative way?
[13:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> brand there is a specific bit there that says "dont want to use a cd?"
[13:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> read it?
[13:20] <ikonia> brand: you will find it much easier to use a CD
[13:20] <deepsa> i have to manually killall -9 dnsmasq everytime i reboot
[13:20] <deepsa> thanks  in advance
[13:20] <ikonia> brand: if you are "new" as you said, using a CD will be much much easier
[13:20] <brand> ikonia: so does that mean i should always put my cd when working with linux
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> no brand
[13:21] <ikonia> brand: no, it means you should use a CD as your install method
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> you just need to put the ubuntu iso on the cd
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> boot from cd
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> and it will install it onto your hdd
[13:21] <brand> oh
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> then you have ubuntu
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> its very easy
[13:21]  * sattu94 Has UBUNTU!
[13:21] <brand> how  about the partition?
[13:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> it sorts that out
[13:21] <ikonia> brand: the installer will guide you through that
[13:22] <brand> do we need to partition or something
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> brand
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> the installer
[13:22] <brand> ikonia: i dont want to lose any data
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> will sort that out
[13:22] <ikonia> brand: yes, the installer will guide you through that
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> you wont
[13:22] <FloodBot1> WhereIsMySpoon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> trust the ubuntu installer :)
[13:22] <brand> ah ok
[13:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> ethernet over usb devices that i connect seem to be detected on multiple ips..any ideas why? i rebooted and i still have the problem
[13:22] <brand> wait let me reboot and ping you guys from another nick from another computer
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> i dont see the different ips on ifconfig but i can ping different ips in the range and they all ping successfully
[13:23] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that sounds an interesting question, could you explain a little clearer ?
[13:23] <mark__> brand have you created Windows disks yet?
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> i connect an ethernet over usb device
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> if i then do ifconfig
[13:23] <ikonia> mark__: he doesn't need to, windows is installed
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> i see it as <IP_ADDRESS>, the default
[13:23] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: please pastebin the output of "sudo ifconfig -a" lets have a look
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> i can ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> and also a load of others
[13:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> ok
[13:23] <mark__> Yeah, but if he botches the mbr and needs to re-install Windows he's gonna want them.
[13:24] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: <IP_ADDRESS> doesn't have to be you
[13:25] <mark__> brand?
[13:25] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, 169.254.255.x is the setup for ethernet over usb devices for me
[13:26] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: yeah, so are there any other devices on that network ?
[13:26] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: or just you ?
[13:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> pastie.org/private/8vamo16qn76yuzxz3gyhq
[13:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> just me
[13:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> http://pastie.org/private/8vamo16qn76yuzxz3gyhq
[13:26] <WhereIsMySpoon> and my ethernet over usb device
[13:27] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: so if you ping <IP_ADDRESS> do you get a response ?
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> .9
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> not .10
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> its .1, .5, .9 etc
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> thats how ive got it set up
[13:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> for if i connect multiple devices
[13:28] <Siegel-> OerHeks: is it possible that i need to install JRE?
[13:28] <WhereIsMySpoon> but this one device seems to be on like loads of these instead of just 1
[13:28] <spitzi> Howdy. I'm using grub2 on Ubuntu 11.10. As you can see in http://paste.ubuntu.com/864220/ , grub knows I have a bootable WinXP in sdb1, but it doesn't feature it in the grub menu. How come, and how can I fix this ? Thanks.
[13:28] <OerHeks> Siegel-, does youtube.com work ? ( no need for java for playing vid's )
[13:28] <Siegel-> OerHeks: youtube works fine.
[13:29] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, it didnt do this before
[13:29] <WhereIsMySpoon> this only happened after i just had this horrible crash
[13:29] <Siegel-> OerHeks: i have adobe flash player installed. i dont see why veehd wont work. it says im missing the codec-c plugin
[13:29] <ryan_> Hello. Is it possible to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 from 11.04 directly with a CD (without upgrading first to 11.10)?
[13:30] <Siegel-> theres a 12.04 version already/
[13:30] <Siegel-> wha thappened to no child left behind
[13:30] <auronandace> ryan-c: no
[13:30] <Kartagis> isn't md5sum checking for MD5 of a file?
[13:30] <auronandace> ryan_: no
[13:31] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: what addresses can you ping
[13:32] <ryan_> auronandace: I meant 10.04. I typed that incorrectly.
[13:32] <chown_> what torrent client do you guys use?
[13:32] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, i just tried up to 101
[13:32] <WhereIsMySpoon> as in <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:33] <WhereIsMySpoon> still pings up there
[13:33] <WhereIsMySpoon> so i guess its just taken over my whole range
[13:33] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so ssh <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:33] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: if there is your machine, you should be able to login
[13:33] <auronandace> ryan_: from lts to lts yes
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> hm
[13:34] <bastidrazor> chown_: transmission
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> .101 doesnt seem to be the ethernet over usb device
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> it seems to be my computer
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> :S
[13:34] <ryan_> auronandace: Thank you! Have a great day!!!
[13:34] <deepsa> anyone?
[13:34] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: so can you login go .101 ?
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> no
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> i can login to .97
[13:34] <ikonia> deepsa: anyone what ? saying anyone is pointless
[13:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> but .101 is a different device
[13:34] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok - so it stands to reason that you are not the only person on your network then
[13:34] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: is .97 your device ?
[13:35] <deepsa> ikonia: actually i posted my query above
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> .97 is my ethernet over usb device
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> .101 seems to be my own computer
[13:35] <hroi> hi Im thinking of using the "start-stop-daemon" tool to run my process.
[13:35] <ikonia> deepsa: yeah, so saying "anyone" isn't useful
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> er wait
[13:35] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: 101, can't be be your computer, or you'd be able to login
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> what
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> .101 now seems to be the device
[13:35] <hroi> I want the process to run as user, but i know normally this tool runs as root.
[13:35] <hroi> Is it reasonable to run it as user?
[13:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> yea ok all of these ips are the device
[13:36] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: can you paste the output of netstat -rn please.
[13:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> i can log into all of them and they all go to this same device which i have on my table which is the ethernet over usb device
[13:36] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: also, just try "ifconfig usb0:1" for me as a test
[13:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> added to the pastie
[13:36] <deepsa> ikonia: understood
[13:36] <deepsa> :)
[13:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> also added to the pasie
[13:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> pastie
[13:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> http://pastie.org/private/8vamo16qn76yuzxz3gyhq
[13:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> just incase you lost it :)
[13:37] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: interesting
[13:38] <Glompkin> hello
[13:38] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: there should be no reason why that device is responding to anything other than it's own address
[13:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> yes i know :P
[13:38] <Glompkin> i have problems installing ubuntu 11.10 on my packard bell ixtreme m5150
[13:38] <xrfang_> how can I track what ubuntu is doing AFTER gdm login, just like the bootchart?   The time it spent before displaying full desktop (with icons) are very long... I am running 11.10
[13:38] <spajderix> hi
[13:38] <Glompkin> http://bit.ly/ygOwd9
[13:38] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I can't picture a situation of how that device coulc be responding
[13:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> 11.10 is stupid slow xrfang :(
[13:39] <xrfang> well, then 12.04 shall be better??
[13:39] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: look in your syslog, can you see anything unusual in there ?
[13:39] <bastidrazor> xrfang: you could look in ~/.xsession-errors
[13:39] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, you mean /etc/rsyslog.conf?
[13:40] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: no, /var/log - your actual log file
[13:40] <xrfang> bastidrazor, it has quite some messages, but I don
[13:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> which file shoudl i look at
[13:40] <xrfang> 't know what to look for
[13:40] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: /var/log/syslog
[13:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> unmanaged device found; state connected forced
[13:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> then it says see some bug number
[13:41] <eon_> is there any solution to fix "segmentation fault" when trying to run an app ?
[13:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> connection auto usbs0 auto-activation faield (2) device not managed by networkmanager or unavailable
[13:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> eon_ segmengation fault means null pointer exception
[13:42] <Agent_X> I am try to add a OpenVPN using network manager. For some odd reason the apply is greyed out. I check network-manager policy setting and everything seems fine...anyone else seen this?
[13:42] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: nothing to suggest why it's doing what it's doing though
[13:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> so if its your app, then debug it
[13:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> if it isnt, raise a bug
[13:42] <WhereIsMySpoon> you want the whole file ikonia?
[13:43] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: nah, I trust you'd spot anything obvious
[13:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> unable to read parmanent mac address?
[13:43] <WhereIsMySpoon> *permanent
[13:43] <Glompkin> Why can't my Ubuntu installer find any partitions?
[13:43] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that's "interesting" but still doesn't explain that
[13:44] <WhereIsMySpoon> the syslog is huge
[13:44] <Chris___> Is there some way I can find out why I keep getting forcibly disconnected from my wifi? It only happens with this laptop when I'm booted in ubuntu; but I don't get issues with this laptop/ubuntu on any other network..
[13:44] <WhereIsMySpoon> but ive gone back about an hour and dont see anything massive going on
[13:44] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I can't think of how this could be happening
[13:44] <AndroUser2> Ive just installed 1110 and it just boots to a grub prompt.  /boot/grub/grub.cfg is missing and so is /initrd.img however /vmlinuz is present. Any ideas please?
[13:45] <Siegel-> OerHeks: it says i need the codec-c plugin. how can i get it/
[13:45] <OerHeks> Siegel-, i don't know, it should be working.
[13:45] <Siegel-> dunno
[13:46] <sipior> eon_: depending on your skill level and/or patience, you can try running the program under ltrace, and see what errors crop up immediately before the segfault occurs: "ltrace -S <app>"
[13:46] <sipior> eon_: sometimes there's an easy fix; usually not.
[13:47] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, there anywhere/one else that could help me further do you know?
[13:47] <eon_> sipior: when running ltrace it says that : ltrace: Can't open ELF file ..
[13:47] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: it maybe worth (and this is a little bit of a long shot) looking onthe switch this device is plugged into, see if you can get something from that
[13:47] <sipior> eon_: what was the exact command?
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> what do you mean, the switch, ikonia
[13:48] <eon_> sipior:  /usr/bin/maya
[13:48] <engammalsko> I can't run CCSM on gnome classic on Ubuntu 11.10. Can anyone help me?
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> its plugged into a usb port
[13:48] <sipior> eon_: the full command, please.
[13:48] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon your device must be plugged into a switch/hub/router "something"
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> no
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> its plugged into my computer via usb
[13:48] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: hang on, is this not a usb network card, have I missunderstood
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> its just a device
[13:48] <crazydip> how do i find out the current font used in the terminal?
[13:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> it isnt a network card
[13:48] <AndroUser2> Ive just installed ubuntu 1110 and it just boots to a grub prompt.  /boot/grub/grub.cfg is missing and so is /initrd.img however /vmlinuz is present. Any ideas please?
[13:49] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I'm sorry, I totally missunderstood
[13:49] <WhereIsMySpoon> np ^^
[13:49] <eon_> sipior: I tried "ltrace -S maya" and the error is "ltrace: Can't open ELF file "/usr/local/bin/maya" "
[13:49] <ikonia> AndroUser2: replace the missing files, probably a re-isntall is easier if you don't know how
[13:49] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: well, in that case, I'm wondering if the device just broadcasts it's self on the whole range
[13:49] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: and your usb0 device is just "your" computers IP on that network
[13:49] <WhereIsMySpoon> it didnt before
[13:49] <sipior> eon_: you just mentioned that maya lives in /usr/bin, so there's your problem. try giving the full path: "ltrace -S /usr/bin/maya"
[13:49] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: oh, so something's changed
[13:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> this only happened after i got a horrible crash
[13:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> as ive said
[13:50] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: did your computer crash, or the device ?
[13:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> computer
[13:50] <eon_> sipior: sorry the right path is /usr/local/bin/maya
[13:50] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: where does your computers USB0: ip address come from, do you configure that or does it come from dhcp on the device ?
[13:51] <AndroUser2> Ikonia: i feared that. Is it easy to replace the files?
[13:51] <ikonia> AndroUser2: depends how much you know what you are doing
[13:51] <ikonia> AndroUser2: how did they get removed ?
[13:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, the ip is automatically assigned to the device when it connects
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> and additional devices go 4 more ips up
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> so .1, .5, .9 etc
[13:52] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so that must be some sort of "dhcp" type situation from the device
[13:52] <AndroUser2> Ikoonia. No idea. Its a new install on a fresh partition
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> im not sure what a dhcp s :P
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> *is
[13:52] <ikonia> AndroUser2: new install = just re-install, easy and simple
[13:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> im a technical guy but dont know much about networking
[13:53] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, just let me have a think on this for a moment
[13:53] <WhereIsMySpoon> sure
[13:55] <gener1c> im having issues with sharing my printer with other none ubuntu OSs
[13:56] <gener1c> any other than ubuntu OS, (Fedora and windows) prints out @pjl
[13:56] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so every IP address you try to connect to, is that the USB device, or your computer it connects to (the ssh test)
[13:56] <gener1c> tried to connect the printer to fedora and the same happens from ubuntu to fedora over the network
[13:56] <gener1c> it must be a cups issue...
[13:57] <nikolai_> hello alll peeps !
[13:57] <nikolai_> anyonbe for a chat?
[13:57] <nikolai_> how does this thing work ????
[13:57] <nikolai_> :)
[13:57] <ikonia> nikolai_: hi there, this channel is for Ubuntu technical support discussion, if you want to chat in general try #defocus
[13:57] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, the usb device

[13:58] <Glompkin> Tjena, jag bestämde mig för att installera Ubuntu 11.10 x64 på min stationära dator (från W7).
[13:58] <Glompkin> Och det hela funkar prima ända tills man ska välja partitioner att ta bort/formatera. Det finns inga partitioner att välja mellan.
[13:58] <Glompkin> Jag spelade in en film med telefonen som visar hur det ser ut och vad som händer.
[13:58] <Glompkin> Min dator är av märket Packard Bell iXtreme m5150
[13:58] <Glompkin> Är det någon som har någon aning om hur jag ska få till det?
[13:58] <Glompkin> http://bit.ly/ygOwd9
[13:58] <Glompkin> Var väldigt trött när jag spelade in och hade feber.
[13:58] <FloodBot1> Glompkin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:58] <LjL> !se | Glompkin
[13:58] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so I cannot back this up in anyway, but it sounds as if the USB device is either a.) acting as some sort of virtual switch (which is why you see it respond to everything) or it's setting up multiple interfaces for it's sefl with all those IP's
[13:59] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: the issue doesn't appear to be with the host OS configuration, as that has 1 IP, the networking and routing is setup correctly, so based on what you've said, I can only assume the usb device is doing "something"
[13:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> but this didnt happen before
[13:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> only now after the crash
[13:59] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that doesn't mean it's not happening now
[14:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> if it makes any difference, i have a self defined file which assigns ethernet over usb devices different ips when they connect
[14:00] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I know it's not very factual, but based on what you've told me and the responses on the network, that's what it points at
[14:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> but it should only assign different devices to different ips
[14:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> not the same device
[14:00] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: can you show me that file ?
[14:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> sure one sec
[14:01] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: it may be "you" who's acting as the dhcp service, rather than the device then (based on what you are saying now)
[14:04] <WhereIsMySpoon>  ikonia this file is in /etc/ssh fyi
[14:04] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok.......
[14:04] <WhereIsMySpoon> i pmd it to you
[14:05] <kbringard> anone have time for a couple of (hopefully) quick preseed questions?
[14:05] <mohsinhijazee> i want to use my ssh key while doing things with sudo. is that possible?
[14:06] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: not sure i understand the question, can you be more specific... have you tried sudo with the -E flag?
[14:06] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, I've just read it, I don't think that file is used to assign IP's to the remote devices
[14:06] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that just looks like ssh client options on a per device basis
[14:06] <Ycarene> 12.04 will not have X installed by default, right?
[14:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> oki
[14:07] <ikonia> Ycarene: it will have X installed by default
[14:07] <theadmin> Ycarene: Where's that coming from? Obviously will, Ubuntu is and always will be a desktop distro
[14:07] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: which leads me back to my original assumption
[14:07] <Ycarene> Oh, I thought they were moving away from X
[14:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> =/
[14:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> i dont understand why this has suddenly happened
[14:08] <mohsinhijazee> geekbri: I am doing git clone in a script but that script runs with sudo and I can't get authenticated. I hope you got to the issue.
[14:08] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: that part I can't say, but I can only say what "appears" to be the issue, or where it is
[14:08] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: there are a couple different options but -E may help you.
[14:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, so this shouldnt happen with a different device?
[14:08] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: The -E (preserve environment) option will override the env_reset option in sudoers(5)).  It is only available when either the matching command has the SETENV tag or the setenv option is set in sudoers(5).
[14:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> of the same type that is
[14:09] <Ycarene> Or will X be installed in a compatibility layer over Wayland?
[14:09] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I don't know in honest, I don't know how the devices are supposed to behave, but it maybe worth trying
[14:09] <ikonia> Ycarene: wayland is not being used
[14:09] <mohsinhijazee> geekbri: so how do I go about that?
[14:09] <kbringard> does anyone know why the preseed partman atomic recipe seems to be creating / and /home, instead of just /?
[14:10] <Ycarene> ikonia - Seems not long ago they were hot to move on to Wayland.
[14:10] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: well I dont know much about what you are doing but if you are running the script with sudo <script> just try sudo -E <script> instead ?
[14:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, happens with a different device as well
[14:10] <ikonia> Ycarene: yeah, you'll find people on the project open their mouths to make big promises / statments without much of a rush to back down or clarify that it can't/won't happen yet
[14:10] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: the problem is this, keys are chmod 600 so only the user who owns them or root can read them.  if you are sudo'ed as root, it may just be an issue where it is looking into root's .ssh for id_rsa instead of whatever user is running sudo... although that may not be the case
[14:11] <chadale> q: what I want to do is the following: take my current laptop image/windows install and make that a virtual machine within an ubuntu install.
[14:11] <chadale> is this possible?
[14:11] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: I dont know enough about your script or your keys to really tell you whats wrong :)
[14:12] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I can't explain if that's how the devices are meant to behave or not, I can only suggest that is where the problem you are seeing appears to come from
[14:12] <WhereIsMySpoon> that isnt how they are supposed to behave, ikonia
[14:12] <WhereIsMySpoon> ive worked with them for a while now
[14:12] <crazydip> what is the default console font?
[14:13] <theadmin> chadale: Sure, there are 2 ways: mount the real hard drive in the VM, or take an image and mount the image.
[14:13] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so where does the devices/computer get their own IP's from - where is that setup / configured ?
[14:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> er
[14:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> not sure sorry
[14:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> again, i am no network expert
[14:13] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: this isn't networking, this is the devices operation
[14:14] <gumus> hi all
[14:14] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: you'll need to find how where the IP's come from, as that will be a big part of the puzzle
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> hm ok one sec
[14:14] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: at the minute it's too much guess work
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> yea
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> i get you
[14:14] <gumus> will resizing windows partition for dual boot cause data loss ?
[14:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> it can do
[14:14] <theadmin> gumus: Not if you do it right (gparted can do it right, for instance)
[14:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> ^
[14:15] <chadale> theadmin: so I could do the ubuntu installer from ISO (to resize the existing windows partition which is massive), then mount the windows partition from ubuntu? I am presuming this would still leave me the option ot boot directly into windows if I wanted?
[14:15] <ikonia> gumus: there is a risk with any re-sizing
[14:15] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ?
[14:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, this behaviour doesnt happen on different computers btw
[14:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> the ^ was me agreeing with theadmin
[14:15] <auronandace> gumus: always possible but not usually probable, make sure you have backups just in case
[14:15] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: understood
[14:15] <gumus> for example
[14:15] <ikonia> gumus: don't need an example
[14:16] <theadmin> chadale: Sure, that works
[14:16] <mohsinhijazee> geekbri: I see. Actually, if I run my script like this: python deploy.py, it will perfectly fetch the repo because keys are added to the remote server from where I'm cloning.
[14:16] <gumus> during the installation let's say If I re-arrange windows partition will I lose the data inside?
[14:16] <auronandace> gumus: always possible but not usually probable, make sure you have backups just in case
[14:16] <mohsinhijazee> geekbri: but if run with sudo,it wont work
[14:16] <ateam__> hi - need to play a .3gpp file - how to embed this in the browser that the totem-plugin ist called..totem can play it...
[14:16] <ikonia> gumus: did you not read what people said
[14:16] <RedViper> Hi :D
[14:16] <ikonia> gumus: it shouldn't do, but there is always a risk
[14:16] <ikonia> gumus: no need for examples
[14:17] <gumus> I see. and which format should I use for ubuntu
[14:17] <ikonia> gumus: what ever you want
[14:17] <gumus> ext2, ext 3 etc.
[14:17] <rexor> gumus, ext4
[14:17] <ikonia> gumus: ext4 is current
[14:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> ext4, yea
[14:17] <auronandace> gumus: ext4 is default nowadays
[14:17] <gumus> alright
[14:17] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: that is because when you run it with sudo you are no longer running as your user, you are running as the uid and gid of the root user.  Therefore it not longer looks in your ~/.ssh/ for your key
[14:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> however the ubuntu installer should do that for you
[14:18] <theadmin> gumus: ext4 is recommended, use ext2 for /boot if you plan to use some old bootloader though.
[14:18] <anyon> gumus, I did resize the win partition with gedit and i made it nw
[14:18] <chadale> theadmin: great, thanks.
[14:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> gedit?
[14:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> you mean gparted?
[14:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> gedit is a text editor xD
[14:18] <anyon> gumus: also did resize it with epm and it had no harm
[14:18] <anyon> yes, Im drunk sorry lol
[14:18] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: using the -E flag should preserve the env and allow it to use the environment of the user who ran the sudo command.  Why do you need to run the command with sudo?
[14:19] <gumus> alright. after all how many partitions I need to have a proper ubuntu
[14:19] <gumus> like swaparea etc.
[14:19] <anyon> gumus: 2 or 3
[14:19] <anyon> your choice
[14:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> 3 if you count swap, 1 boot, 1 swap, 1 normal
[14:19] <sw0rdfish> heya guys
[14:19] <RedViper> I have an external hard disk and when I was copying a game file on to it which was 12GB it came up with an error  a quarter into copying saying it can't copy because the file is too big. Do I format the hard disk as NTFS format?
[14:19] <anyon> WhereIsMySpoon not necesarily
[14:19] <sw0rdfish> how can I extract a .bin file?
[14:19] <anyon> you can have /boot on /
[14:19] <rexor> gumus, i think it is recommended to have separate partition for /home
[14:19] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: That's a binary, just run it
[14:19] <rexor> gumus, so u can easly do backups
[14:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> mm i guess
[14:20] <gumus> I see.
[14:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> but its better to have a separate boot partition
[14:20] <anyon> rexor but again not necesarily.
[14:20] <theadmin> !who | WhereIsMySpoon
[14:20] <rexor> gumus, or if u will reinstal system u can easly plugin that partition to new instance of system
[14:20] <rexor> anyon, ye
[14:20] <gumus> I also remember sth like ``logical` ?
[14:20] <sw0rdfish> theadmin, well it doesn't open
[14:20] <anyon> The / + swap is the most recommended for an usual user
[14:20] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: chmod +x blah.bin && ./blah.bin
[14:20] <gumus> okay
[14:21] <sw0rdfish> cannot execute binary file
[14:21] <henkye> theadmin: isnt it bin CD image sw0rdfish meant ?
[14:21] <RedViper> I have an external hard disk and when I was copying a game file on to it which was 12GB it came up with an error a quarter into copying saying it can't copy because the file is too big. Do I format the hard disk as NTFS format?
[14:21] <kbringard> anyon: since we're talking about partitioning… any idea why when I do d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic in my preseed, it still creates /home?
[14:21] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: Hm, probably not exactly what I thought it was then (extensions mean nothing in Linux)
[14:22] <anyon> RedViper: NTFS you're saying?
[14:22] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: Convert it to an ISO I guess, there are tools for that.
[14:22] <ateam__> any ideas to embed .3gpp files into browser under linux (audio)
[14:22] <sw0rdfish> henkye, yes it is... I'm gonna try it on my win7 and check it out there just in case the file is corrupt or somethin
[14:23] <henkye> sw0rdfish: there is cdemu application for mounting many image types
[14:23] <geekbri> mohsinhijazee: great success?
[14:23] <RedViper> anyon: Ya, why how do I make it copy the whole 12GB from my computer onto my external?
[14:23] <anyon> omg I can't even read well.. I'm dizzy... See you when I get better lol
[14:23] <bigpotato> who can  recommend me a channel for qt beginer
[14:24] <auronandace> !alis | bigpotato
[14:24] <dorong> I've created a RAID10 array using mdadm on /dev/md0 and haven't created a filesystem on it (nor an lvm volume over it) before I restarted the machine (ubuntu 11.10), and after the restart the device was name /dev/md127 instead of the /dev/md0 it was created as.
[14:24] <RedViper> anyon: Well, any help? :D
[14:24] <anyon> RedViper, what csize?
[14:24] <dorong> why ?
[14:25] <RedViper> anyon: What size what? The Hard Disk is 320GB and the file is 12GB
[14:25] <sw0rdfish> ok
[14:26] <geirha> RedViper: I'm guessing you currently have FAT32 then? which has a filesize limit of 4GiB
[14:27] <anyon> what's the clustersize, RedViper?
[14:27] <pksadiq> how can I disable a keyboard key ("F2")  using loadkeys?
[14:27] <RedViper> geirha: Yes, what do I do?
[14:27] <anyon> yeah I tought what geirha said at first
[14:27] <anyon> format it to NTFS, RedViper
[14:28] <anyon> NTFS configuration tool
[14:28] <anyon> look for it in ubuntu software center
[14:28] <geirha> RedViper: In windows you can convert FAT32 to NTFS without losing the data.
[14:28] <anyon> geirha, Ubuntu support in here.. lawl
[14:28] <geirha> anyon: Ubuntu's not so good with ntfs though :)
[14:29] <henkye> geirha: huh ?
[14:29] <anyon> geirha, lol?
[14:29] <auronandace> geirha: not so good in what way?
[14:29] <RedViper>
[14:29] <RedViper> anyon: I tried with disk utility and it said it could not format it because it was mounted.
[14:29] <geirha> auronandace: It can't fix it. Or has that changed since last I looked?
[14:29] <anyon> RedViper, how aout mounting it?
[14:29] <anyon> and use NTFS configuration tool
[14:30] <auronandace> RedViper: formatting will erase the data on it
[14:30] <anyon> look for it in software center
[14:30] <RedViper> anyon:	auronandace : geirha:Ya I dont mind there is nothing on it....
[14:31] <geirha> RedViper: Unless there's finally a fully functioning fsck.ntfs, you need to have a windows install around to be able to fix the filesystem if it gets corrupted.
[14:31] <anyon> RedViper, just get the NTFS configuration tool arleady.
[14:31] <auronandace> geirha: i've never had a problem with ntfs so i've never needed to fix it, but i think you are right yes, i think you need to use windows chkdsk to fix it
[14:31] <anyon> sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[14:31] <eagle-eyes-UK> sw0rdfish try chmod a+x {filename}.bin      this makes the file executeable
[14:31] <dtcrshr> hello everyone. Im about 2 days now trying to get my dell 530 wifi working. followed all the different methods in this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[14:31] <henkye> eagle-eyes-UK: it is CD image
[14:32] <elijah> How can I make the background desktop images fade between instead of just change?
[14:32] <dtcrshr> but yet still i have no wireless. on the aditional drivers the broadcom proprietary is active, but I have no wireless interface, can anyone help me troubleshoot this, or inform if this wireless works at all on ubuntu 11.10?
[14:32] <geirha> RedViper: And if you don't intend to use the external drive with a windows system, ever, you could just format it with ext4 instead.
[14:32] <RedViper> anyon: What is it's name?
[14:32] <anyon> sudo apt-get install ntfs-config RedViper
[14:33] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-bincue-files-to-iso-in-ubuntu.html
[14:33] <anyon> cut the RedViper out of it tough.
[14:33] <eagle-eyes-UK> henkye: oh....most strange thought they were .iso
[14:33] <RedViper> geirha: I have windows 7 installed on a dual boot
[14:33] <sw0rdfish> oh
[14:33] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia, thanks for all the help, i got it fixed
[14:33] <theadmin> eagle-eyes-UK: The .bin+.cue images are audio CDs usually
[14:33] <henkye> eagle-eyes-UK: .bin CD images arent that rare .-)
[14:33] <RedViper> anyon: Huh?
[14:33] <sw0rdfish> winrar in win7 first said it was "unknown file format or damaged" but when I tried with PowerISO it worked so it must be ok
[14:34] <RedViper> anyon: Name of the program?
[14:34] <geirha> RedViper: Right, then NTFS should be a safe bet.
[14:34] <anyon> RedViper press CTRL+T will open a new terminal and write in there sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[14:34] <sw0rdfish> I will just extract it to a folder on my usb and put it on usb and get it back here on ubuntu
[14:34] <anyon> or just look for NTFS Configuration Tool in software center
[14:35] <anyon> or get in windows > computer > right click on your drive where the HDD is then select format and choose NTFS
[14:35] <anyon> ^ RedViper
[14:35] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: oh, please explain
[14:35] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: I'm interested
[14:35] <theadmin> sw0rdfish: look at my link
[14:36] <sw0rdfish> k
[14:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> /etc/network/interfaces was broken in some form or another
[14:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> which is where i define usb connections
[14:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> i regenerated it via a script
[14:36] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: ahhhh that is the key bit of information,
[14:36] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: you where defining the IP's in the interface file
[14:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> yes
[14:36] <ikonia> ok, there we go then,
[14:37] <ikonia> that makes sense
[14:37] <RedViper> anyon: Well I in Ubuntu now and it's a problem to get into windows - Ok i did it through the terminal and it's done, now?
[14:37] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: well done
[14:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> i dont know how it was broken but it works now ^^
[14:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> thx again anyhow ikonia :) have a good weekend!
[14:37] <anyon> RedViper now just run it
[14:37] <ikonia> you too
[14:37] <anyon> type ntfs-config in the terminal
[14:38] <RedViper> anyon: Ya and how will it know to format the external?
[14:38] <anyon> RedViper: It will not, you tell it where's the drive and how to format it
[14:39] <eagle-eyes-UK> i use .iso and .cdr myself, never knew about the .bin files for CD's.....another bit of knowledge for the old noodle
[14:39] <RedViper> anyon:  How do I tell it? Whats the command
[14:39] <henkye> eagle-eyes-UK: or maybe u are not a warez guy .-)
[14:40] <RedViper> anyon:  And how do I check where it is?
[14:40] <anyon> RedViper, It has a pretty handsome GUI. You could use it.. instead of using comand line wich is a little bit harder
[14:40] <eagle-eyes-UK> henkye: lol still a neewbie tbh
[14:40] <RedViper> anyon:  I the GUI in applications?

[14:53] <rt> but still i want to know is there any ways to do it?
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> rt  ask your emplyer
[14:54] <ikonia> rt: the correct process is to contact your network administrator and ask for an exception to the blocking rule
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> o
[14:54] <Martin79> Hi, is there some application in ubuntu 11.10 repos to set a grub password? startup-manager did it for grub legacy
[14:54] <rt> thanks guys for your support....!
[14:55] <fhsales> does someone know how to partition the disc during ubuntu 11.10 installation?
[14:55] <ikonia> fhsales: the ubuntu installer will offer partition options/guidence
[14:56] <fhsales> ikonia:  how many partitions should i have for linux?
[14:56] <ikonia> fhsales: as many as you want,
[14:57] <ikonia> fhsales: it's up to you how you lay it out, have a little research for disk layouts in linux
[14:57] <dorong> I've created a RAID10 array using mdadm on /dev/md0 and haven't created a filesystem on it (nor an lvm volume over it) before I restarted the machine (ubuntu 11.10), and after the restart the device was name /dev/md127 instead of the /dev/md0 it was created as. anybody knows why should that happen ?
[14:57] <ikonia> dorong it's probably running in a split mode, (didn't assemble properly when you booted)
[14:58] <fhsales> ikonia: is there a way, with a single HDD, install linux and leave one partition for installing windows and another for windows files?
[14:59] <szal> fhsales: at least 2 (1 for file system, 1 for swap)
[14:59] <szal> fhsales: yes, you can partition manually or in advance
[14:59] <ikonia> fhsales: yes
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  if you want dual boot: first install windows, then linux, or windows will ruin your grub menu
[15:00] <fhsales> MonkeyDust: Ok, thanks.
[15:00] <fhsales> thanks people.
[15:00] <fhsales> szal:  the file system partition should be root yes?
[15:01] <Martin79> Hi, is there some application in ubuntu 11.10 repos to set a grub password?
[15:01] <szal> fhsales: of course
[15:01] <auska> Hi! I've some .db files that I would like to read their content. How can I do it?
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  how skilled are you with partitioning
[15:02] <mi3> Hello people!
[15:02] <fhsales> MonkeyDust: i know the basics. the hard thing is not to partition, but to choose how to do it.
[15:02] <deepsa> hi mi3 !
[15:02] <ikonia> auska: what application do they come from
[15:02] <auska> ikonia, nessus
[15:02] <szal> fhsales: swap = 1.5 times installed RAM size..  and a separate partition for /home is advisable; in that case the / (root) partition should be something like 15-25 GB and the /home partition as large as you wish if you want to store data there
[15:03] <Zaitzev> fhsales: 10-15 GB for /, 1.1xRAM for swap, rest for /home
[15:03] <Zaitzev> that's what I did anyway
[15:03] <Captain_Proton> anyone else having a problem login into gnome-shell after the update today?
[15:03] <ikonia> auska: no idea what that application is
[15:04] <mi3> I would like to customise my .bashrc file, I managed to get some fortune cookies but I need some more customization, i want to make it more stylish, can someone provide me with sample .bashrc file in pastebin? I would be very glad.
[15:05] <dorong> ikonia: this is the command I used to create it - mdadm /dev/md0 --create --level=10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/xvdh1 /dev/xvdh2 /dev/xvdh3 /dev/xvdh4
[15:05] <auska> ikonia, but if you have a .db (is a database provably sqlite) how can you read it's information?
[15:05] <fhsales> szal:  but for windows?
[15:05] <ikonia> auska: you use a client that can read that infomation eg: an sqlite client
[15:05] <szal> fhsales: depends on the Windows version
[15:05] <ikonia> dorong: looks solid
[15:05] <ikonia> dorong: what is the output of cat /proc/mdstat
[15:06] <Zaitzev> .db files are encrypted for the most part tho
[15:06] <fhsales> szal:  i wanted to do something like: 15gb for root, 10gb for swap, 45 gb for home. then, 30gb for windows, and 400gb for a fat 32 partition to store data.
[15:06] <Zaitzev> and sometimes they are readable as sqlite
[15:06] <aaGp> 30gb for windows is not enough
[15:07] <Zaitzev> yes it is, as long as you don't install a whole lot :p
[15:07] <dorong> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/865212/
[15:07] <fhsales> for installing things i was leaving this 400gb partition.
[15:07] <aaGp> i just did my windows partition
[15:07] <aaGp> trust me
[15:07] <aaGp> just the install
[15:07] <aaGp> took me 20gb
[15:07] <ikonia> dorong: ok, so that all looks in sync
[15:07] <sipior> ikonia: dorong: please forgive the interruption, but this thread may be of some interest: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1764861):
[15:08] <fhsales> people, do you think this will work?
[15:08] <auronandace> fhsales: 10gb for swap is a bit much unless you have like 8gb of ram
[15:08] <ikonia> sipior: looks useful, a good interuption !
[15:08] <fhsales> auronandace:  i have 8gb of ram.:P
[15:08] <auronandace> fhsales: ah, good
[15:08] <mi3> deepsa have you customized the terminal?
[15:09] <fhsales> so hereś the thing. i will create a C: partition 40gb for windows 7 ultimate
[15:09] <auronandace> fhsales: the other thing i would say is fat32 doesn't support files bigger than 4gb
[15:09] <fhsales> a D partition with 370 for files. this one i should format fat32 or Ext4?
[15:09] <aaGp> give it a little bit more to win7 like a 50Gb..
[15:09] <fhsales> auronandace: oh thanks, so i should format it how?
[15:09] <auronandace> fhsales: and if you are using vista or 7 and you want to use that partition to install things on it needs to be ntfs
[15:10] <fhsales> auronandace:  ok, so i shall make 2 partitions, C and D, NTFS.
[15:10] <fhsales> and them 3 partitions for linux.
[15:10] <fhsales> will this work?
[15:10] <mi3> i had a video of this terminal can I make it look like this? http://imagebin.org/201705
[15:11] <aaGp> yeap
[15:11] <szal> fhsales: w/ 8 GB RAM you sure want more than 30 GB for C:, or put the pagefile on D:, then 30 GB will do
[15:11] <auronandace> fhsales: you'd need to use logical partitions, put the linux ones in an extended partition
[15:11] <mi3> see that lycan and all that? I need that, can someone suggest how to?
[15:11] <fhsales> auronandace:  how i do that?
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  what auronandace says, is what i have
[15:11] <fhsales> auronandace:  the problem is because i have a single HDD.
[15:12] <fhsales> MonkeyDust: humm.i see. how did you partition yours?
[15:12] <mi3> can I make the terminal look like this? http://imagebin.org/201705 ? can someone suggest?
[15:12] <auronandace> fhsales: create an extended partition and in the extended partition you put all your logical partitions (the linux ones)
[15:12] <Gentoo64> mi3, change the ps1
[15:12] <szal> fhsales: make a primary partition for Windows C:, and an extended partition in the rest of the space which you further divide into logical partitions for everything else
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  http://paste.ubuntu.com/865220/
[15:13] <geirha> fhsales: for historic reasons, a harddrive can only have 4 partitions. To work around this, you can make one those 4 an "extended partition". And inside this special extended partition, you can make many logical partitions.
[15:13] <aaGp> moneydust, yes u can
[15:13] <auronandace> fhsales: i also put my storage partition in there too, because it frees up the other primary partitions for other os's
[15:13] <dorong_> sipior: well, that details my problem exactly (except for the raid5 instead of my raid10, but that doesn't matter). I'm checking it now
[15:13] <mi3> I tried to change it but i dont know how to I dont know that kind of programming language,  i managed to get the time and date thats all i could do Gentoo64
[15:13] <Argafal> hi folks. I configured a xubuntu 11.10 installation in a way that the default user does not need a password but is readily logged-in after boot-up. I'd like to change this now and get a login manager instead - can someone tell me how to do this please?

[15:14] <twotimebooter> soory floodbot1
[15:14] <phabi0> twotimebooter I might be able to help you
[15:15] <Zaitzev> one thing is for sure
[15:15] <Zaitzev> people in here are really helpful
[15:15] <szal> twotimebooter, phabi0: you'll be better helped if you ask an actual question
[15:15] <twotimebooter> So my computer currently has Windows 7 (which i want to keep). I plan on installing Ubuntu Ocelot and Linux Mint 12. What's the best way of answering the installation questions that Ubuntu will  pose?
[15:16] <Zaitzev> depending on what time it is ofc ;D
[15:16] <fhsales> auronandace: how do i create a extedend partition?
[15:16] <phabi0> I need to know how to get the alps touchpad drivers working in debian 6.0.4
[15:16] <john_doe_jr> When I do a sudo apt-get install eclipse...why is the eclipse version 3.5 (Galileo) which is an older version of eclipse?
[15:16] <mi3> Gentoo64, can you suggest how can I do that?
[15:16] <airtonix> twotimebooter: with careful determination
[15:16] <Zaitzev> twotimebooter: You can do one of two things, dual boot or have Ubuntu on it's own (by disconnecting the Windows drive)
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  are you familiar with fdisk?
[15:16] <auronandace> fhsales: using gparted
[15:16] <twotimebooter> I mean: I want Linux Mint 12 and Ubuntu Ocelot to share the same "home" folder
[15:16] <szal> phabi0: try #debian on OFTC
[15:16] <fhsales> MonkeyDust:  no.
[15:16] <airtonix> twotimebooter: prepare for disaster
[15:17] <Zaitzev> lol
[15:17] <mi3> Gentoo64 here is how my .bashrc file looks like http://pastebin.com/UXNwb59e
[15:17] <airtonix> twotimebooter: mint is not supported in this channel
[15:17] <Zaitzev> airtonix: I can't imagine that being safe at all
[15:17] <fhsales> auronandace: i cant create that while installing windows or linux?
[15:17] <twotimebooter> airtonix: it's not a mint question
[15:17] <phabi0> can you provide full server url please szal
[15:17] <szal> phabi0: irc.oftc.net
[15:17] <phabi0> thank you
[15:17] <airtonix> twotimebooter: in fact it is, since you wish to pollute your ubuntu home folder with linux mint (which isn't supported in this channel)
[15:17] <mi3> I want to get that lycan and all the arrows and dashes that this guy did in his terminal [I already got the fortune cookies] Gentoo64
[15:18] <auronandace> fhsales: i prepare my partitions before an install, so i use a livecd (partedmagic)
[15:18] <twotimebooter> airtonix: should I be ignoring you?
[15:18] <geirha> I've shared the same homefolder between redhat, suse, ubuntu and solaris. Works fine.
[15:18] <twotimebooter> geirha: how?
[15:18] <airtonix> twotimebooter: sure, if you want to bork your ubuntu installation
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> fhsales  first step to get familiar: type sudo fdisk -l
[15:18] <geirha> twotimebooter: nfs-mounted /home
[15:18] <fhsales> auronandace:  OH. the problem is that i do not have any OS installed on my HD.
[15:18] <szal> airtonix: where did he speak of a shared home folder?
[15:18] <twotimebooter> geirha: how did you answer the questions during installiation?
[15:18] <szal> airtonix: ah, nvm
[15:18] <fhsales> MonkeyDust:  i am without linux at the moment.:/
[15:18] <auronandace> fhsales: you don't need an os on your harddrive to use a livecd
[15:19] <fhsales> but i am reading an article about fdisk
[15:19] <mi3> Can someone suggest how can I customize my terminal? I want it to look like this http://imagebin.org/201705 and here is the paste of my .bashrc file
[15:19] <szal> fhsales: use gparted, way easier
[15:19] <geirha> twotimebooter: Ah, I believe you have to choose manual partitioning
[15:19] <fhsales> auronandace:  so, i will use a usb to run ubuntu.
[15:19] <twotimebooter> geirha: ok. so how does that go?
[15:19] <roasted> Hello! Does anybody know where I can download the multitouch driver for Ubuntu?
[15:19] <twotimebooter> geirha: i have no idea how to properly do a manual partion.
[15:20] <fhsales> auronandace: i will try here.:P
[15:20] <geirha> twotimebooter: Then it's perhaps best you learn about partitioning so you understand what you need to do.
[15:20] <LordDeath> how can I see which packages one package needs?
