[09:12] <jammiesAREon> is it /bin/bash?
[09:12] <rww> !ra | gorillaunit
[09:12] <rww> except not sentence #2 in your case :\
[09:13] <ftjla> bin/sh
[09:13] <jammiesAREon> oh interesting
[09:13] <ftjla> I think I saw one of the menus show it was ash rather than bash
[09:13] <jammiesAREon> try typing in "exec /bin/bash"
[09:13] <blaenk> im done for the day got a ton of work done yeeee
[09:14] <ftjla> that took me back out of the shell to the rescue operations menu on the server cd
[09:15] <jammiesAREon> oh ok we dnt want that
[09:15] <jammiesAREon> can u get back by typing "exec /bin/sh"?
[09:15] <jammiesAREon> or is there another way back
[09:15] <jimcooncat> just got a bit freaked, can someone explain? I've been playing with live distros on my usb. I've repartitioned and reformatted, tried to start Ubuntu Live Gnome and it loaded up to the point of showing graphics and froze. The freaky part is that it was showing a Debian XFCE screenshot from two days ago, before I reformatted the USB!
[09:16] <ftjla> i can switch to selected the shell option and it opens busybox with builtin shell (ash)
[09:17] <jammiesAREon> ok well we just want a regular shell like it was before... once u get there try typing "sudo e2fsck -c -c -k -v /dev/sda(root partition number)"
[09:17] <jammiesAREon> replace root partition number with whatever the number is for the root partition
[09:17] <ftjla> okay brb
[09:19] <jammiesAREon> ftjla of course this is assuming u r indeed using ext3
[09:19] <ftjla> lol this might t
[09:19] <ftjla> take a while
[09:19] <ftjla> it is at .56%
[09:19] <ftjla> less than 1%
[09:20] <jammiesAREon> yea probably will
[09:20] <ftjla> what should be the outcome....I
[09:21] <jammiesAREon> well it's gonna check your drive for block errors
[09:21] <jammiesAREon> and repair them
[09:21] <jammiesAREon> i.e inode errors
[09:21] <jammiesAREon> i should say partition rather
[09:21] <jammiesAREon> not the whole drive
[09:21] <jammiesAREon> the more damaged it is will take longer
[09:22] <jammiesAREon> but this will repair any damaged inodes
[09:22] <jammiesAREon> hopefully
[09:22] <ftjla> sure just the sda5 partition but it should repair the inode issue in theory then
[09:22] <jammiesAREon> then u should be able to bood
[09:22] <jammiesAREon> boot*
[09:22] <ftjla> cool, well thank you so much jammies
[09:22] <jammiesAREon> if the home partition is screwed up we may need to do that too
[09:23] <jammiesAREon> but we'll know when u boot after this command is done
[09:23] <ftjla> ya well we might have to pick it up tommorrow since I am just now at 3.28%
[09:24] <jammiesAREon> yea maybe
[09:24] <ftjla> what is your time zone? its nearly 1:30 in the morn here
[09:24] <jammiesAREon> hey.. hypothetically speaking (and this just occurred to me)... if i were sentenced for a crime to do community service... would helping on #ubuntu suffice?
[09:24] <jammiesAREon> it's 4:30am here
[09:25] <ftjla> lol it should
[09:25] <rww> jammiesAREon: no
[09:25] <jammiesAREon> ubuntu is non-profit and community based
[09:26] <jammiesAREon> it'd be like volunteering at an art center
[09:26] <jammiesAREon> or some other non-profit
[09:26] <gtafa> i have installed wine, and when i clicked .exe file, it's error, like this "The file '/media/gtafa/My Games/Stronghold/Stronghold Crusader.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.".
[09:26] <ftjla> as long as the judge singed off on it you should be able too
[09:26] <jammiesAREon> or like a group home type thing where they take children in
[09:26] <rww> jammiesAREon: good luck finding a channel operator who'd sign off on the paperwork for it and a judge that'd take it.
[09:26] <xgt001> hello every1
[09:27] <jammiesAREon> lol this is hyptothetical
[09:27] <jammiesAREon> never had that issue before
[09:27] <SwedeMike> rww: I'd personally write the judge asking not to, considering the use of enter as punctuation by this individual.
[09:27] <rww> jammiesAREon: and I'm telling you why your hypothetical situation wouldn't work.
[09:27] <jammiesAREon> last legal thing i couldnt use a computer
[09:27] <jammiesAREon> so i would have been useless
[09:27] <xgt001> is there any1 who has been using open source drivers for ati mobility radeon hd6xxx series???
[09:27] <jammiesAREon> yea xgt001 a long time ago
[09:28] <jammiesAREon> like back in like 8.04 days
[09:28] <xgt001> which is better??? fgrlx or open source???
[09:29] <jammiesAREon> well... i think it depends
[09:29] <ftjla> jammiesAREon, Im gonna let this thing run and I'll check on it in the morning, but I gotta get my 5 hours of beauty sleep
[09:29] <jammiesAREon> probably open source i guess
[09:29] <ftjla> thanls for all the help
[09:29] <ftjla> thanks
[09:29] <gnome> I have strange problem
[09:29] <jammiesAREon> k ftjla... this might fix the issue
[09:29] <jammiesAREon> that'd be cool :-)
[09:29] <jammiesAREon> gnome: wats up
[09:29] <Charbel> who knows what is the address of Beirut time server ?
[09:29] <Charbel> i want to keep time and date synchronized with internet server
[09:30] <ftjla> hopefully, cya later
[09:30] <gnome> I can't find file access.log with search files but I found it manually
[09:30] <jammiesAREon> last one for the night
[09:30] <gnome> why?
[09:30] <jammiesAREon> where was it?
[09:30] <gnome> in /var/log/apache2
[09:30] <jammiesAREon> how did u search for it?
[09:30] <gnome> applications>accesories>search for files
[09:30] <xgt001> i have a new hp laptop it has got ati hd6370m card with 512 mb... i tried the proprietary drivers in ubuntu maverick but it honestly sucks.... how should i install opensource drivers???
[09:30] <jammiesAREon> as root?
[09:30] <gnome> why it coudln't find it?
[09:30] <gnome> no
[09:31] <gnome> how to search as root?
[09:31] <jammiesAREon> probably cuz u need to be root for the file
[09:31] <jammiesAREon> well... a couple ways
[09:31] <gnome> easiest pl :)
[09:31] <jammiesAREon> u could logon as root
[09:31] <gnome> pls*
[09:31] <gnome> no
[09:31] <gnome> thts hard ;)
[09:31] <FloodBot2> gnome: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:31] <jammiesAREon> which might be the easiest for u
[09:31] <Kimmen> you don't need to be root to list files in /var/log (normally)
[09:31] <jammiesAREon> or u do it from CLI
[09:31] <jammiesAREon> kimmen not to list
[09:31] <gnome> Kimmen, but I couldn't find the file why
[09:31] <jammiesAREon> but sometimes to search
[09:31] <jammiesAREon> depending on the file
[09:31] <gnome> jammiesAREon,  tell me from cli pls
[09:32] <SwedeMike> !enter | jammiesAREon
[09:32] <gnome> jammiesAREon,  how t osearch as root from CLI?
[09:32] <jammiesAREon> sudo locate <file_name> or possibly sudo whereis <file_name>
[09:32] <jussi> jammiesAREon: generally suggesting to log in as root is discouraged. please be careful about the advice you give
[09:32] <Kimmen> gnome: do you want to see whats in the file? int that case try: tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log
[09:32] <gnome> jammiesAREon,  thanks
[09:33] <Kimmen> too "monitor" it
[09:33] <gnome> Kimmen,  no i can see with my user
[09:33] <ifoelz> hi people
[09:33] <ifoelz> :P
[09:33] <jammiesAREon> he's using the GUI... i dont think he likes CLI
[09:33] <jammiesAREon> hence why i suggested what jussi told me not to suggest
[09:33] <jammiesAREon> lol
[09:34] <jammiesAREon> i was trying to make it really easy
[09:34] <symtab> hi
[09:34] <jammiesAREon> hi
[09:34] <ifoelz> thankz :D
[09:34] <symtab> after the latest flash player upgrade, some randim cubic flash images always remain on my desktop
[09:35] <symtab> any ideas how i can fix this (always same position, over firefox, thunderbird....everything)
[09:35] <kamran> i formatted my usb stick. In the GParted only one disk is visible (as expected). However, in the Dolphin there are two disks labelled Disk and Disk-1. Is this normal ?
[09:35] <jammiesAREon> oh goody more flash problems... lol
[09:35] <jammiesAREon> kamran.. what does dolphin identify them as?
[09:35] <jammiesAREon> like unallocated?
[09:36] <kamran> dolphin identifies them as removable media
[09:36] <jammiesAREon> i've never used dolphin before i dont think... so might be hard to say... i'd lean towards trusting whatever gparted says
[09:36] <gnome> one  more question, where was option to not block mouse when typing I can't find it
[09:36] <jammiesAREon> gnome... dunno... i dont use a mouse
[09:36] <jammiesAREon> lol
[09:36] <Kimmen> kamran: you have one "disk" that is the physical disk and one disk that is the partition
[09:36] <nonix4> hrm, some program just issued mouse grab without releasing it. How to determine which program to report a bug against?
[09:37] <jammiesAREon> ah... good call kimmen
[09:37] <Kimmen> ^^
[09:37] <jammiesAREon> never used dolphin so didnt know how it listed it
[09:37] <kamran> Kimmen can u explain more
[09:37] <jammiesAREon> tho if it's unallocated there shouldnt be a partition
[09:38] <jammiesAREon> he/she would have to create one
[09:38] <Kimmen> kamran: in linux your disk is listed as sda for example
[09:38] <Kimmen> kamran: a partition in the disk listst as sda1 etc
[09:38] <jammiesAREon> then sda(x) where x represents partition
[09:38]  * nonix4 suspects the *indicator* things in maverick, but has no data to back that.
[09:39] <kamran> GParted says my hard disk is sda and my flah drive is sdb
[09:39] <jammiesAREon> but as i said before unless u formatted the drive (lets say NTFS or FAT32 or EXT4 etc) u shoudnt have a partition
[09:39] <gnome> I enabled IBUS what is this
[09:39] <gnome> how to disable it ?
[09:40] <jimcooncat> just got a bit freaked, can someone explain? I've been playing with live distros on my usb. I've repartitioned and reformatted, tried to start Ubuntu Live Gnome and it loaded up to the point of showing graphics and froze. The freaky part is that it was showing a Debian XFCE screenshot from two days ago, before I reformatted the USB!
[09:40] <kamran> i have formatted it and am about to create a startup disk
[09:40] <jammiesAREon> gnome... prob oppossite of how u enabled it :-P
[09:40] <gnome> jammiesAREon,  i clicked ibus from preferences now it won't stop when i click again
[09:40] <jammiesAREon> kamran: what format is it in?
[09:40] <kamran> FAT 32
[09:40] <Kimmen> gnome: in terminal type: ls /dev/sdb*
[09:40] <gnome> ok thanks kimmen
[09:40] <jammiesAREon> ok thats why it's listing two in dolphin
[09:41] <gnome> what is this thing
[09:41] <Kimmen> gnome: it lists your partitions on your removable disk
[09:41] <jammiesAREon> when u have a drive that isnt formatted u have just /dev/sdb (gparted sees it as unallocated)
[09:41] <Kimmen> gnome: /dev/sdb is your removable device, /dev/sdb1 is your first partition (fat32?) and so on
[09:42] <jammiesAREon> but the second u make it into a format (fat 32 in ur case) it creates a partition table for that format
[09:42] <kamran> i read on an instructions page that the boot partition should be the first one. I never intended to create any partition. When i saw two usb drives on Dolphin i halted right there and came here
[09:42] <laxmi> ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi
[09:42] <Kimmen> gnome: sorry, typed to wrong person =P
[09:42] <gnome> no no
[09:42] <gnome> :D
[09:42] <gnome> im off
[09:42] <laxmi> facing a problem
[09:42] <jammiesAREon> well by formatting the drive u did create a partition
[09:43] <jammiesAREon> all drives have partitions
[09:43] <jammiesAREon> just urs has one
[09:43] <laxmi> please listen to me
[09:43] <laxmi> have idea ?
[09:43] <laxmi> ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi
[09:43] <kamran> ok i have a single partition usb disk. Rite ?
[09:43] <jammiesAREon> yep
[09:44] <truepurple> Would someone please help me with this netinstall  error I got while trying to install ubuntu? http://pastebin.com/H3qQumvG
[09:44] <laxmi> ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi
[09:44] <jammiesAREon> the disk is seeing as /dev/sdb and then the FAT32 partition (Which spans the entirety of the useable space of that disk) is seeing as /dev/sdb1
[09:44] <laxmi> ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi
[09:45] <kamran> Now, when dolphin shows two disks. One disk holds the FAT Table and the other is meant for holdin data. Rite ?
[09:45] <jammiesAREon> basically
[09:45] <jammiesAREon> not in those words
[09:45] <jammiesAREon> but u get the general idea
[09:45] <rww> !repeat | laxmi
[09:45] <gnome> jammiesAREon,  i can't find files with command you told me
[09:45] <gnome> see
[09:46] <broon_sparrow> thunderbird - i've just upgradedto 10.10 and when i try to start thunderbird I get an 'thunderbird is already running' error. tried restarting and reinstalling thunderbird but stil no luck.any ideas?
[09:46] <gaelle> hi, i have a cm108 usb soundcard. it worked gread yesterday until after my laptop woke up from hibernation. now there is no sound on it anymore. i checked pavucontrol, alsamixer and everything, nothing indicates that it has been muted
[09:46] <kamran> thanks everybody for the help
[09:46] <gnome> dejan@dejan-laptop:~$ sudo whereis access.log
[09:46] <gnome> access: /usr/share/man/man2/access.2.gz
[09:46] <laxmi> please see this ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi
[09:46] <jammiesAREon> disk geometries can be complicated to explain, and alot of programs like gparted and dolphin interact with all the levels of the disk geometries
[09:46] <rww> !repeat > laxmi
[09:47] <gnome> dejan@dejan-laptop:/$ sudo locate -b access.log
[09:47] <gnome> dejan@dejan-laptop:/$
[09:47] <gnome> why this isn't working?
[09:47] <laxmi> ubottu I will try
[09:47] <laxmi> ok
[09:47] <giorgio> !list
[09:48] <desturrr> hi all, do you know where is the implementation of the commands , for example, 'cat' command , where does it stored
[09:48] <gnome> this is confusing
[09:48] <jammiesAREon> gnome can u try 'su root'
[09:48] <gnome> what is that
[09:49] <jammiesAREon> then type in root password then try the above command
[09:49] <jammiesAREon> it basically changes ur user to root
[09:49] <gnome> then how to switch back
[09:49] <jammiesAREon> su <username>
[09:49] <jammiesAREon> or just close the terminal
[09:49] <rww> desturrr: cat is part of the coreutils package, and is stored in /bin/cat.
[09:50] <gnome> su: Authentication failure
[09:50] <gnome> dejan@dejan-laptop
[09:50] <gnome> omg
[09:50] <desturrr> okey thanks
[09:50] <gnome> I am writing my password
[09:50] <jammiesAREon> u may need a root password
[09:50] <gnome> for my user
[09:50] <FloodBot2> gnome: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:50] <gnome> what is the root password i havent set it
[09:50] <jammiesAREon> type in sudo passwd root
[09:50] <rww> jammiesAREon: Root passwords are not supported in this channel. Do not offer advice on setting one.
[09:50] <rww> !noroot | gnome, jammiesAREon
[09:50] <jammiesAREon> oh my god
[09:50] <jammiesAREon> wtf
[09:50] <jammiesAREon> sorry man cant help
[09:51] <desturrr> it is put as a binary file
[09:51] <gnome> jammiesAREon, again no luck
[09:51] <desturrr> i can not see inside right
[09:51] <gnome> I am loged in as root
[09:51] <gnome> but can't find file access.log
[09:51] <gnome> and i found it manually
[09:51] <gnome> :S
[09:51] <jammiesAREon> i dunno why ppl insist that sudo is sufficient access
[09:51] <Kimmen> gnome: it can take awhile for ubuntu to index new files
[09:52] <gnome> omg
[09:52] <gnome> i can't search for files :S
[09:52] <gnome> this is very very bad
[09:52] <jammiesAREon> sudo depends on u being a member to the sudoers group and lots of files are for root
[09:52] <jammiesAREon> lol gnome calm down
[09:52] <jammiesAREon> its not the end of the world
[09:52] <Kimmen> gnome: yes you can it can take some time before search finds them
[09:52] <rww> gnome: access.log for apache2 is stored in /var/log/apache2/access.log by default. The usual command to find that would be "sudo find / -name access.log" (iirc /var/log/apache2 is not readable by normal users).
[09:53] <jammiesAREon> precisely
[09:53] <jammiesAREon> hence the need for root
[09:53] <gnome> rww,  i know but why I can't search for files :S
[09:53] <jammiesAREon> lol
[09:53] <gnome> sec
[09:53] <jammiesAREon> oh god... gnome read the freaking chat
[09:53] <Pumpkin-> jammiesAREon: "sudo -s" or "sudo -i" do virtually the same thing as "su". The only argument I can see against them is by default they require the same login credential as your user.
[09:53] <rww> jammiesAREon: You apparently missed the part where sudo works fine for that, as I showed.
[09:53] <jammiesAREon> yep
[09:53] <gnome> rww,  thanks
[09:54] <SightUp> what theme should i use for ubuntu?
[09:54] <jammiesAREon> sightup: depends what u like
[09:54] <jammiesAREon> lol
[09:54] <appi_uppi> hi , I am using AMD athlon 64. I have installed ubuntu 10.04. How do I find the chipset details and install the appropriate drivers as the laptop gets heated upto 90 c
[09:54] <SightUp> something futuristic
[09:55] <jammiesAREon> appi_uppi are u sure u need them?
[09:55] <Pumpkin-> but at least the way I run multiuser systems, I turn off regular passwords for ssh and require the use of an ssh key to login, configure it so users cannot use "passwd", and then effectively a users password (if they have root access) becomes a "personal root password"
[09:55] <jammiesAREon> yea pumpkin me too
[09:56] <appi_uppi> jammiesAREon, my system is getting heated upto 90 c, not able to work hence thought the drivers are must. Please correct me if I am wrong.
[09:56] <madfly8082> appi_uppi: i think dmidecode will help you find relevant info
[09:56] <jammiesAREon> tho i must admit root is able to logon via ssh on my system, which some would disagree with that practice
[09:56] <etam> hi, i have done this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto and my dns does not have the answer section...
[09:56] <etam> anyone can help me?
[09:56] <Kimmen> jammiesAREon: you can set in openssh that root is not permitted to login
[09:56] <SightUp> anyone use AirLines: sudo apt-get install airlines-theme?
[09:57] <jammiesAREon> kimmen i know i can
[09:57] <jammiesAREon> i choose not to
[09:58] <jammiesAREon> i use ntlm authentication for all my users (winbind)
[09:58] <jammiesAREon> the issue is if somehow the service breaks i have no fail safe to login
[09:58] <jammiesAREon> i could set up a local admin i suppose but i prefer root
[09:59] <SightUp> what themes are you guys using?
[09:59] <jammiesAREon> mine is called CLI
[09:59] <jammiesAREon> i love it
[09:59] <SightUp> pic?
[09:59] <Kimmen> me too =)
[09:59] <jammiesAREon> u should give that a go sightup
[09:59] <Kimmen> have themed it slightly with tmux
[09:59] <Charbel> who knows what is the address of Beirut time server ?
[09:59] <jammiesAREon> nah i cant do screen shots sightup
[09:59] <Charbel> i want to keep time and date synchronized with internet server
[10:00] <jammiesAREon> only copy and paste
[10:00] <jammiesAREon> actually i cnt do that either
[10:00] <jammiesAREon> i could parse it to a file and send the file
[10:00] <appi_uppi> madfly8082, Yeah I found, thank you. But suggest me, do I need to install the drivers for acer 5536 AMD processor (ubuntu)
[10:00] <jammiesAREon> lol
[10:01] <jammiesAREon> but i need to set up mail command first.. and then get postfix up and running
[10:01] <jammiesAREon> lol
[10:01] <madfly8082> appi_uppi, if it's running at 90 i think you should take a look at your heat sink first
[10:01] <Kimmen> appi_uppi: and that your fans are spinning
[10:01] <jammiesAREon> unless the fans only turn on when the board tells it to
[10:01] <jammiesAREon> like the macbook pros
[10:02] <jammiesAREon> which in ubuntu are always set to full speed
[10:02] <madfly8082> and besides it's an AMD
[10:02] <Dinux_> hi there , i have a problem after viewing a youtube video , it seems that the video is still stuck on the desktop , and sometimes the color of the video is all around , is it commond problem in ubuntu 10.10 32-bit or just my problem ?
[10:02] <jammiesAREon> which is better than the alternative.... which could be off
[10:02] <SightUp> i cannot find a screenshot of CLI
[10:03] <jammiesAREon> sightup cuz u cnt take screenshots of it

[10:04] <SightUp> why would i want that?
[10:04] <jammiesAREon> lol i didnt say u would... i said thats what i use
[10:05] <SightUp> i want one with an awesome grphical interface
[10:05] <jammiesAREon> cnt help u... those things bog down system resources
[10:05] <KillGuta> How can I add drivers/firmware to a live CD?
[10:06] <jammiesAREon> my vmware host has gotta have all the power it can
[10:06] <erez> hi, I had an issue with my screen, and got a suggestion to delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which worked, but now the file has not been recreated and I don't have Compiz support anymore. Any ideas on how to follow this?
[10:07] <jammiesAREon> i have a poweredge 2900 with 48GB of RAM 16 x 1TB WD FALS100 Drives in RAID 10, and a dual 3.2 Quad Core CPU
[10:08] <jammiesAREon> with internal 2TB RAID 5 with one hot swappable drive (All internal are SAS 15k drives) external are SATA 7200 rpms, connected to a 3ware 9650SE via multi lane SAS cables
[10:08] <gaurav_help> My system is not getting update is always shows me error
[10:09] <jammiesAREon> (multi-lane to multi-lane not multi-lane to breakout)
[10:09] <azm> Hi, Im getting flash artifacts after flash
[10:09] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: do you have any ubuntu support questions ?
[10:09] <Kimmen> and I have a Intel D945GCLF2, Intel Atom 330, 1x2TB WD20EARS, 2GB RAM =)
[10:09] <Kimmen> overkill for what it does
[10:09] <azm> is there something to fix it?
[10:09] <azm> I have to reboot pc to dismiss it
[10:10] <jammiesAREon> ikonia, yea i asked a while ago no one knew the answer
[10:10] <jammiesAREon> so i just started helping ppl
[10:10] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: what's the problem, as the hardware discussion you are currently in maybe better in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:10] <azm> like the picture after youtube video will remain in background even after I close browser
[10:11] <jammiesAREon> ok... sorry i said one thing off topic.. i'll go there next time
[10:11] <gaurav_help> ikonia, i am using ubuntu 10.10 it is not getting update always shows me error
[10:11] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: it wasn't one thing, it was the whole hardware disscussion, looked like a good discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:11] <ikonia> gaurav_help: ok ?
[10:11] <SightUp> what theme looks the most graphically stunning?
[10:12] <ikonia> SightUp: look for yourself, gnome-look.org
[10:12] <jammiesAREon> but since u asked....  i am trying to replace my ddwrt router with ubuntu, and i am curious if there is a way to adjust the radio transmission power
[10:12] <jammiesAREon> in ubuntu
[10:12] <somethinginteres> any software on ubuntu that can do a good PDF to ODT or DOC coversion?
[10:12] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: if the wireless device driver in ubuntu supports it, yes you can do it with iwconfig
[10:12] <jammiesAREon> what would be the proper syntax to do that...
[10:12] <SightUp> ikonia: which is like a total conversion?
[10:13] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: I've done it with an intel card on an old laptop for pwoer saving
[10:13] <gaurav_help> ikonia, it shows me require update from untrusted sites how can i update that
[10:13] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: it depends onthe card, the driver and it's syntax
[10:13] <ikonia> gaurav_help: what is the unstrusted site ?
[10:13] <jammiesAREon> i've gotten it to display the output power as it is, but havent figured out how to change it
[10:13] <ikonia> SightUp: total conversation
[10:13] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: not call cards support it
[10:13] <ikonia> "all"
[10:14] <SightUp> i dont see that here
[10:14] <fulldaykg> jammiesAREon: ... ... I google'd "ubuntu iwconfig transmission power" and the second link looks promising
[10:14] <ikonia> SightUp: what are you talking about
[10:14] <SightUp> http://gnome-look.org
[10:14] <fulldaykg> BTW that's a man page, so you could probably just man iwconfig too
[10:14] <SightUp> i dont know what i am looking for
[10:15] <ikonia> SightUp: look at themes, look for ones you like
[10:15] <gaurav_help> its shows me some launguages .... what i do
[10:15] <SightUp> GMD themes?
[10:15] <SightUp> or which?
[10:15] <ikonia> gaurav_help: what is the name of the site it wants to get untrusted packages from
[10:15] <ikonia> SightUp: depends what you want, if you want a gdm theme, look for gdm themes
[10:15] <ikonia> !themes | SightUp
[10:15] <ikonia> SightUp: check out those URLs
[10:16] <SightUp> http://gnome-look.org, what is the name of the search filter for a total conversion type theme?
[10:17] <ikonia> total conversation, what are you talking about ?
[10:17] <SightUp> that changes everything
[10:17] <SightUp> i dont wanna just mix match a ton of stuff
[10:17] <ikonia> SightUp: read the url's I've just had ubottu give you, they give you an overview to themes
[10:17] <ikonia> SightUp: there aren't "total" conversions
[10:17] <jammiesAREon> ah... ok
[10:17] <jammiesAREon> txpower
[10:17] <SightUp> ok
[10:18] <jammiesAREon> sightup are u using gnome or kde
[10:18] <SightUp> gnome i think
[10:18] <SightUp> im on 10.10
[10:18] <jammiesAREon> ok so probably gnome unless u installed kde
[10:18] <SightUp> i just want the most graphically stunning stuff.
[10:18] <jammiesAREon> or whatever they call it
[10:19] <jammiesAREon> so u want to look for gnome themes
[10:19] <SightUp> i dont think i installed that
[10:19] <jammiesAREon> u could also look at kde themes and if u like those more then u can install kde
[10:19] <jammiesAREon> kde-look.org
[10:19] <ikonia> changing desktop for a theme is a bad idea
[10:19] <SightUp> what is kde?
[10:19] <jammiesAREon> gnome-look.org
[10:20] <ikonia> SightUp: it's another window manager and desktop interface, a massive change from gnome
[10:20] <jammiesAREon> just another GUI. like gnome, but kinda resembles windows in a way
[10:20] <SightUp> ah ok
[10:20] <SightUp> no windows...
[10:20] <jammiesAREon> borrows some features from it... i
[10:20] <SightUp> i have this computer for windows
[10:20] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: no it doesn't
[10:20] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: it borrows no features from it at all
[10:20] <ikonia> it's a totally different windowing system and desktop
[10:21] <madfly8082> it's just that windows users might find it familiar
[10:21] <ikonia> I doubt it
[10:21] <jammiesAREon> ok ur opinion... in my opinion the gui behaves in a windows like way, and functions very similar to a start menu
[10:21] <madfly8082> the panels and stuff
[10:21] <madfly8082> yeah
[10:21] <jammiesAREon> in fact the way things are laid out are very familiar to windows
[10:21] <SightUp> i like this http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210
[10:22] <ikonia> SightUp: if you like it, try it
[10:22] <jammiesAREon> well the thing on  the side sigtup is not part of the theme just so u know
[10:22] <jammiesAREon> the thing that shows ur computer stats
[10:23] <truepurple> Would someone please help me with thisnetinstall  error I got while trying to install ubuntu? http://pastebin.com/H3qQumvG
[10:23] <SightUp> which knome version am i on?
[10:23] <SightUp> 2.x?
[10:23] <ikonia> truepurple: it can't download the package it needs, the question is why, is there anything before that error to suggest why
[10:24] <ikonia> SightUp: correct
[10:24] <jammiesAREon> sightup right click on the gnome panel and select "about gnome"
[10:24] <jammiesAREon> to be certain
[10:24] <jammiesAREon> but most likely 2.x
[10:24] <SightUp> 2.32.0
[10:24] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: as ubuntu has not released gnome 3, it's version 2
[10:24] <truepurple> ikonia Not really, it seems to say it found the internet connection fine enoug, and before the error, it seems to download and install at least a few files up to about 6%
[10:25] <eoin_> Is it possible to use unity interface in an oracle virtual box VM?
[10:25] <ikonia> eoin_: yes
[10:25] <eoin_> ikonia: any tips for set up?
[10:25] <ikonia> eoin_: treat it like a desktop
[10:25] <jammiesAREon> truepurple: how do u know it found ur internet connection?
[10:25] <ikonia> truepurple: try a different location to get the files from
[10:26] <jammiesAREon> if u get the iso and put it on the flash drive u wont need to get it online
[10:27] <jammiesAREon> u can just use netboot installer tool thingy mahoo to install it without a CD
[10:27] <truepurple> Ikonia: What do you mean? Especially, what do you mean by location? You mean use a different USB flash drive?
[10:27] <jammiesAREon> i think he means a different location on the web to download it from truepurple
[10:27] <ikonia> truepurple: you'd have to edit the config files to point at a different download location
[10:27] <eoin_> ikonia: I have tried 10.10 netbook in the vm, and also the alpha of 11.4, but neither will display unity - compiz works fine though...
[10:27] <truepurple> Ikonia: Oh, use a different mirror? I suppose so, but the US one seems to be the most likely to work
[10:27] <ikonia> truepurple: agreed, but if you are having a problem, it's worth testing
[10:28] <dgb> anybody here good with compression?
[10:29] <ikonia> eoin_: it should work
[10:29] <ikonia> dgb: just ask the question
[10:29] <jammiesAREon> lol
[10:29] <dgb> Is there anyway I could compress 3.2GB worth of music down to about 2GB ?
[10:30] <ikonia> dgb: is it already compressed in the encodig ?
[10:30] <ikonia> encoding ?
[10:30] <jammiesAREon> depends... how well do u want it to sound in the end dgb?
[10:30] <dgb> I tried 7zip and gzip
[10:30] <truepurple> Ok, I will try it, but I need to go offline to do so, I will be back in a bit to tell you how it went
[10:30] <dgb> both only compressed it down 100mb
[10:30] <ikonia> dgb: you won't do it with a compression tool, as the music is already compressed when it's encoded
[10:30] <ikonia> dgb: you'd have to re-encode it at a lesser quality
[10:30] <dgb> well I somehow need to transfer that music to another computer
[10:30] <jammiesAREon> u could change the encoding, but u'll loose some quality
[10:31] <eoin_> ikonia: Maybe it's because the VM host is a Windows 7 box? (VM graphics 3d acceleration on, with 128MB VRAM)
[10:31] <ikonia> eoin_: doubtful
[10:31] <jammiesAREon> dgb... what os is the music on currently
[10:31] <jammiesAREon> ubuntu?
[10:31] <dgb> Ubuntu
[10:31] <dgb> need to transfer some samples over to my mac
[10:31] <jammiesAREon> is the computer local?
[10:31] <dgb> its not connected to the LAN
[10:31] <jammiesAREon> ok so they are on the same network?
[10:32] <jammiesAREon> oh
[10:32] <dgb> yes
[10:32] <dgb> but the macbook
[10:32] <dgb> is hooked up to the wireless
[10:32] <jammiesAREon> oh thats fine
[10:32] <jammiesAREon> u could just FTP it
[10:32] <ikonia> he's just said it's not on the lan
[10:32] <jammiesAREon> u'd have to set up ftp on ubuntu
[10:32] <jammiesAREon> he said it's wireless
[10:32] <ikonia> then it's on the lan
[10:33] <jammiesAREon> i think he means its not plugged it
[10:33] <jammiesAREon> in*
[10:33] <jammiesAREon> i think it was just choice of wordsw
[10:33] <jammiesAREon> when he said it's wireless i figured that meant he was on the same network
[10:34] <jammiesAREon> but personally dgb i think the best shot would be to ftp it
[10:34] <jammiesAREon> it wont lose quality
[10:34] <dgb> i'll give it a go
[10:34] <dgb> thanks heaps m8
[10:34] <dgb> :)
[10:34] <jammiesAREon> do u know how to install an FTP server (if u dont already have one)
[10:34] <jammiesAREon> i use proftp personally
[10:35] <dgb> yeh I do
[10:35] <jammiesAREon> k
[10:35] <jammiesAREon> cool
[10:35] <dgb> i use pureftpd usually :P
[10:35] <jammiesAREon> cool
[10:35] <ikonia> it would be more sensible to do it over ssh as there is no need to set anything up
[10:35] <ikonia> plus there is error checking
[10:35] <ikonia> data of that size, it would be useful
[10:35] <jammiesAREon> man i stayed up all night... shouldnt take caffeine so late.. lol
[10:35] <dgb> yeh cant do anything that requires ports open
[10:35] <dgb> so ill upload to my dedi then download them
[10:36] <dgb> stupid work router, they wont give me root pw to it
[10:36] <jammiesAREon> well ftp will have ports open
[10:36] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: how do you know
[10:36] <ikonia> jammiesAREon: why will ftp "be" open, you don't know his security setup
[10:36] <dgb> they wont be open
[10:36] <jammiesAREon> no i'm saying he will need it to be open
[10:36] <jammiesAREon> sorry wrong words
[10:36] <jammiesAREon> sheesh shoot me
[10:37] <dgb> great..
[10:37] <dgb> now gparted has decided it wants to crash
[10:37] <dgb> Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:662 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed.
[10:37] <dgb> any idea?
[10:37] <ikonia> dgb: looks like it couldn't get teh disk size, restart it and try again
[10:38] <bazej> witam
[10:38] <gerhard> test
[10:38] <dgb> kk
[10:38] <jammiesAREon> when he said he couldnt do anything that would requre opening ports i meant to say ftp would need to have ports open as well
[10:38] <gerhard> hi
[10:38] <Dynetrekk> why does screen resize my terminal window when I start screen? and how can I stop it doing so?
[10:38] <jammiesAREon> but i agree ssh would be better
[10:38] <SightUp> finding a theme is hard.
[10:38] <SightUp> none pop out
[10:38] <kickar> hey guys, i am having a bit of a problem with apache displaying php errors in browser, I have set my my php.ini varialbles to display errors
[10:38] <jammiesAREon> sightup make ur own then
[10:38] <bazej> jest ktos
[10:38] <ikonia> kickar: disable that then
[10:39] <jammiesAREon> lol
[10:39] <bazej> mam pytankoo?\
[10:39] <ikonia> !pl | bazej
[10:39] <kickar> ikonia,  i have tried that, but still getting: "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression." in browser
[10:39] <bazej> dzieki juz uciekam
[10:39] <ikonia> kickar: that's not a php error
[10:40] <kickar> this is a regular mysql connection error
[10:40] <ikonia> kickar: doesn't have to be a mysql problem
[10:41] <kickar> ikonia,  i know what the error is cause i have miskaten on purpose mysql password for connecting to a db, I believe this has something to do with apache
[10:41] <gerhard> te
[10:42] <ikonia> kickar: it's probably the application displaying the error, rather than an apache/php error
[10:42] <gerhard> not really
[10:42] <ikonia> gerhard: what ?
[10:42] <gerhard> j
[10:42] <kickar> ikonia,  i have installed wp and now works fine, but if i change the mysql password and try to reload it I get plain white screen, as what i know i should get mysql connection error message
[10:43] <kickar> i can see the message in error log of the vhost
[10:43] <kickar> but not in browser
[10:43] <ikonia> kickar: you don't get that, I've had that same problem
[10:43] <ikonia> kickar: the guys in #wordpress can explain it, I've recently gone through that same issue
[10:43] <ikonia> kickar: I just got a white page, rather than the expected error
[10:43] <kickar> ikonia,  it is on every CMS that i have installed, wp is just an example
[10:44] <kickar> even a simple php script for connecting don't display the error
[10:44] <ikonia> kickar: I understand that, however that is how it works, I had this exact problem, 2 days ago
[10:44] <kickar> whats the fix
[10:44] <ikonia> the guys in #wordpress went through the reason it wasn't displaying the error message
[10:44] <kickar> is it apache or a php conf. issue
[10:45] <ikonia> kickar: no, it was expected behaviour, something to do with types of error, not being a php specialist I didn't fully understand
[10:45] <kickar> ok thanks
[10:46] <Dinux_> hi , When I watch videos on youtube they play fine. but, when I minimize the window, the video overlays on whatever was behind it. This includes the desktop and all other programs , how can i fix this?
[10:47]  * wojciech is away [Hardstyle is my Style]
[10:50] <Dinux_> anyone here?
[10:50] <ikonia> yes
[10:51] <Dinux_> hi , When I watch videos on youtube they play fine. but, when I minimize the window, the video overlays on whatever was behind it. This includes the desktop and all other programs , how can i fix this?
[10:51] <ikonia> no idea flash is a closed sourced product and as such very hard to do anything with
[10:52] <Dinux_> so , is that a common problem with ubuntu ?
[10:52] <ikonia> no
[10:52] <ikonia> it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:52] <ikonia> it's "flash"
[10:53] <gaurav_help> while updating ubuntu 10.10 its shows me error "Reading package lists... Done

[10:53] <gaurav_help> how i correct these
[10:54] <SightUp> anyone using airlines theme?
[10:54] <ikonia> gaurav_help: it means you have the same sources listed two times, remove one
[10:54] <ikonia> SightUp: why ?
[10:54] <SightUp> just wanna know how they like it
[10:54] <ikonia> SightUp: it doesn't matter if they do, it matters if you do, try it out if you want
[10:55] <broon_sparrow> thunderbird - i've just upgraded to 10.10. Thunderbird won;t start - i get an instant of of thunderbird is aready running. I've deleted .thunderbird and it st

[10:56] <ikonia> Dinux_: no
[10:56] <gaurav_help> how i remove duplicate
[10:57] <ikonia> gaurav_help: open the /etc/apt/sources.list file and remove the duplicate, save the file
[10:59] <Dinux_> ikonia : how about disabling hardware acceleration?
[10:59] <ikonia> Dinux_: what about it ?
[10:59] <Dinux_> ikonia : can we do it to solve this flash problem?
[10:59] <hever> how can I check if a harddisk is installed on the computer or damaged?
[11:00] <ikonia> Dinux_: sorry, I obviously wasn't clear when I said "I don't know, flash is a closed source product so it's hard to change anything or resolve issues"

[11:03] <hever> iceroot, I wanted to do a fsck but its not found...
[11:03] <bazhang> mieke, how minimal? a chapter?
[11:03] <ikonia> hever: you've not booted an OS, how do you expect to use an OS command ?
[11:03] <ikonia> hever: why do you want to do an fsck
[11:04] <iceroot> hever: /sbin/fsck  maybe the PATH is not loaded automaticly
[11:04] <oasisTopher> also, is there any benefit to using IOMMU when running virtualbox?
[11:04] <mieke> bazhang: I just have to have make a new dvd with a little part (5 minutes) cut out of it.
[11:05] <Jordan_U> ikonia: To be fair, it is possible (and reasonable) to include fsck in an initramfs.
[11:05] <mieke> bazhang: I have no experiance whatsoever with moviemanipulating and I don't know what programs to use, dvd:rip rips and stores in another file (quality loss), avidemux doesn't want to manipulate vorbis files as I understand it now, so what should I use?
[11:06] <bazhang> mieke, ah okay I thought you wanted to remove only one part to view or some such, you mean remastering the dvd altogether
[11:06] <mieke> bezhang: indeed :)
[11:06] <bazhang> mieke, there is bound to be quality loss with that
[11:06] <hever> ikonia, because it could be a FS error, for example the PC was turned off accidently
[11:06] <hever> iceroot, no that's not working either...
[11:07] <bazhang> ogmrip I suppose, then devede to get them together again mieke
[11:07] <ikonia> hever: then you'd get an fsck error/check not busy box
[11:07] <mieke> bazhang: that's unfortunate, so no possibility to just 'cut out' a part directly in the .vob-file?
[11:07] <bazhang> mieke, you can set ogmrip to make it quite high quality
[11:07] <mycosys> avidemux can do that mieke
[11:08] <bazhang> mieke, not that I know of, but that is limited in terms of what I am familiar with
[11:08] <mieke> I will give both a shot!
[11:08] <mycosys> just set it to not change the codec
[11:09] <root_> hi
[11:09] <mieke> bazhang, mycosys: thanks!
[11:09] <xerxes> hi pple :D
[11:09] <hever> ikonia, so what could it be?
[11:09] <ikonia> hever: many things, work it through
[11:10] <hever> ikonia, There are no error messages... (I'm just on the phone ;) )
[11:10] <ikonia> hever: then talk them through debugging it
[11:11] <broon_sparrow> i've  a partition that was called data. I've just upgraded to 10.10 and when it starts up it says it can't find the disk data. the drive is there but it's called a string of random letters. how do i change it back?
[11:11] <ikonia> broon_sparrow: use a tool such as gparted to re-label it
[11:12] <soreau> ikonia: he probably means uuid
[11:12] <ikonia> soreau: ahhh yes
[11:12] <ikonia> good spot
[11:14] <oobiloz> anyone here ever dealt with installing adobe flash in xubuntu
[11:14] <inslan4> hello whats the difference between 'burn as file' and 'burn contents'?
[11:14] <oobiloz> i seem to be having problems
[11:14] <encrypt55> whats the best package to encrypt/password folder for ubuntu?
[11:15] <ikonia> oobiloz: just install the package "flashplugin-nonfree"
[11:15] <soreau> inslan4: one burns a file to disk as data, the other burns the contents of the file to disk (iso image)
[11:16] <adek> hello
[11:16] <adek> i know its maybe not a right place
[11:16] <inslan4> soreau,  so if i wanted to burn iso image to disc i select 'burn contents' right?
[11:16] <adek> but i need a very very small linux with GUI and able to access windows partitions on ntfs
[11:17] <soreau> inslan4: that would be my assumption
[11:17] <adek> could somebody point me a good distributions for this ?
[11:17] <inslan4> thanks soreau
[11:17] <soreau> adek: DSL or puppy linux perhaps
[11:18] <adek> but DSL seems to be old and i dont know if ntfs3g will work there
[11:18] <soreau> adek: Well that is beyond the scope of this channel
[11:18] <oobiloz> ikonia:  i got Note, selecting 'flashplugin-installer' instead of 'flashplugin-nonfree'
[11:18] <oobiloz> flashplugin-installer is already the newest version.
[11:18] <oobiloz> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[11:18] <oobiloz>   linux-headers-2.6.35-22 linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic
[11:18] <oobiloz>  .. does this mean it worked?
[11:18] <FloodBot3> oobiloz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:18] <oobiloz> oops
[11:18] <ikonia> oobiloz: fine
[11:19] <adek> soreau: right
[11:20] <broon_sparrow> ty. in gparted it has a mount point of /media/randomstringofletters how do change the mount point to /media/data ?
[11:20] <oobiloz> ikonia:  error:  conflicts with the installed package 'flashplugin-installer" <--- shud i remove it via synaptic?
[11:20] <ikonia> oobiloz: it's the same pacakge
[11:20] <soreau> broon_sparrow: Edit /etc/fstab
[11:20] <oobiloz> it's not working :/
[11:20] <dubey> hello
[11:21] <norms> hi
[11:22] <geirha> broon_sparrow: Unmount it, then change the label to data
[11:22] <broon_sparrow> id fstab the line reads "/dev/sda6       /data           ext4    defaults        0       2" so it looks like in fstab it IS called data.
[11:22] <dubey> i am using ubuntu 10.04 for last 1 year. Yesterday after update i have lost most of the notification icon from task bar. e.g Skype, Pidgin, Wifi etc.
[11:22] <tonyrulez> dorsy ma durci, de íme: http://tonyrulez.comyr.com/
[11:22] <broon_sparrow> geirha: how do I change the label
[11:22] <geirha> broon_sparrow: Oh, sorry, I assumed it was an external drive.
[11:23] <broon_sparrow> ah sorry should have said it;s a partition
[11:23] <erkan^> is sparrow a e-mailprogram for mac os x, broon_sparrow ?
[11:24] <broon_sparrow> erkan: ??
[11:25] <geirha> broon_sparrow: I'd run ''sudo blkid'' to find the uuid of that partition, and then in fstab, change /dev/sda6 to UUID=<string of hexadecimal digits and dashes>
[11:25] <soreau> broon_sparrow: Its called /data but isnt the mount point /media/data ?
[11:27] <broon_sparrow> in fstab it seems to be called data. in gparted mountpoint is random string of letters. in 'places' it's called 258GB filsystem and when ubuntu starts up it says it can't find data and i have to pres S to skip! Does that make any sense?
[11:28] <broon_sparrow> i've almost 300gb of data on it so don;t want to accidentally format it!
[11:28] <soreau> broon_sparrow: Does /data exist? AFAICT, its telling you that it does not (you said yourself it should be /media/data which sounds more like it anyway)
[11:28] <broon_sparrow> right i see! i need to change it to media/data...i'll try that
[11:29] <broon_sparrow> um how do i edit fstab?
[11:29] <soreau> broon_sparrow: /media/data
[11:29] <ilea> someone know a program for linux to backup or to restore deleted or formated partitions and restore files? I need for a friend i have to install linux because windows has crased and its full of viruses
[11:29] <soreau> broon_sparrow: gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[11:30] <oobiloz> no joy
[11:30] <geirha> !undelete | ilea
[11:31] <broon_sparrow> TY all. i'll try all that.
[11:31] <realjoe> hi, can ubuntu be installed on apple tv2?
[11:32] <oobiloz> ikonia, are you here?  can i past something
[11:32] <ilea> i have to recover data from ntfs partitions so it will work
[11:33] <ikonia> oobiloz: use a pastebin if it's long
[11:33] <iceroot> realjoe: a google search said yes. http://wiki.eple.us/appletv_ubuntu_9.10_xbmc
[11:33] <ikonia> realjoe: appletv 1 yes, appletv2 - no
[11:33] <oobiloz> well it's not that long b ut i've used pastebin
[11:33] <iceroot> realjoe: ah the link is for apple tv (1)
[11:33] <banksy> On mythbuntu 10.10: Currently running nvidia drivers v260 - enabled by Additional Drivers.  Just got asked to downgrade to v256 to debug a problem - anyone know how?
[11:34] <oobiloz> i did that and that's what i saw, i don't know why it's not working, i checked plugins in ff and eerytring seems to be enabled...
[11:34] <realjoe> yes, atv2 has an arm core
[11:34] <realjoe> ikonia thanks
[11:34] <iceroot> realjoe: debian is build for arm
[11:34] <techbreak> hi can anybody suggest me python video tutorials ??
[11:35] <ikonia> iceroot: doesn't matter, can't use it, ubuntu has an arm build
[11:35] <soreau> banksy: Is it available in sys>admin>additional drivers ?
[11:35] <iceroot> ikonia: ok, can you tell me why it is not working with ubutnu?
[11:35] <soreau> techbreak: try #python ?
[11:36] <ikonia> iceroot: the appletv 2 ?
[11:36] <iceroot> ikonia: yes
[11:36] <banksy> soreau: additional drivers just tells me it's activated, currently in use and is up to date.  no 'choose other version' option
[11:36] <ikonia> iceroot: because it has no writeable media on it, and the one of the chips apple used is propritary that has at this time no linux support
[11:36] <iceroot> ikonia: ah ok, thats a good reason to never buy apple-products :)
[11:36] <Jemt> Hi guys. I'm trying to install and activate the Broadcom wireless network drivers through a console, to have the adapter work on my MacBook Pro. How do I do that? Installing the drivers doesn't enable the driver
[11:37] <techbreak> hi python video tutorials suggestions please
[11:37] <ikonia> iceroot: I have a very broken custom linux build on a usb disk hot wired into a dissassembled apple tv2 , the sucess is very very low, the effort is massivly high
[11:38] <Cockroach_ed> OMG I just dd if=/dev/zero the first 2GB of my boot disk. is there any way I can get any of the data back?
[11:38] <iceroot> Cockroach_ed: your backup
[11:39] <Cockroach_ed> figured as much
[11:39] <Cockroach_ed> haven't backed up in a while :(
[11:39] <iceroot> Cockroach_ed: now you have a good reason for making backups
[11:39] <broon_sparrow> hi mount point in gparted is still /media/randomstring how do i change the mount point?
[11:41] <oobiloz> did anybody else have problems putting adobe flash in xubuntu?
[11:42] <soreau> broon_sparrow: Is it mounting to /media/disk ok now?
[11:42] <soreau> or data
[11:42] <iceroot> oobiloz: problems like?
[11:42] <oobiloz> it's not workiong?
[11:43] <oobiloz> did it from synaptic, no joy, removed from synaptic, reinstalled from webpage, no joy, tried Flash Aid as an add on,it didn't work eeither
[11:43] <iceroot> oobiloz: usefull details please, what have you done, what is not working, which architecture, which ubuntu version
[11:43] <broon_sparrow> i think it was previously mounted at /data not /media/data - the path for a document is /data/... would that make sense?
[11:44] <oobiloz> iceroot:  xubuntu 10.10
[11:44] <iceroot> oobiloz: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree   after that you only should restart your browser and it should work
[11:44] <broon_sparrow> soreau: no i don't think so
[11:44] <soreau> broon_sparrow: The output of mount should tell you if its mounted
[11:44] <soreau> mount|grep sda6
[11:44] <soreau> or however
[11:44] <oobiloz> i did that and it said something aobut "flashplugin-installer" being the newset version
[11:45] <iceroot> oobiloz: dpkg -l flashplugin-nonfree
[11:45] <oobiloz> and it's telling me about some packages that are automatically installed, no longer required
[11:45] <broon_sparrow> soreau: sorry but what do you mean the output of mount?
[11:45] <iceroot> oobiloz: starting with "ii"?
[11:45] <soreau> broon_sparrow: In your terminal, type mount and press enter. It is a command
[11:46] <oobiloz> i will paste result in that webpage...
[11:46] <broon_sparrow> " /dev/sdf6 on /media/084d096e-afac-444b-8763-eb2f8e270467 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) " it says
[11:47] <oobiloz> pasted
[11:47] <soreau> broon_sparrow: and that is the random string gparted is giving too right?
[11:47] <broon_sparrow> yep
[11:47] <soreau> broon_sparrow: It sounds to me like you are telling it to mount to a location that doesnt exist
[11:48] <soreau> broon_sparrow: What does ls -l /media/data show?
[11:48] <truepurple> back
[11:48] <oobiloz> iceroot:  did u see it?
[11:48] <broon_sparrow> "  ls: cannot access /media/data: No such file or directory "
[11:48] <oobiloz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/586116/
[11:48] <broon_sparrow> so how would I make /data exist
[11:49] <soreau> broon_sparrow: Right so create the directory first with sudo mkdir /media/data
[11:49] <soreau> broon_sparrow: Then set fstab to point to /media/data to mount sda6
[11:49] <truepurple> ikonia: You there?
[11:50] <soreau> broon_sparrow: If it cant find the mount point, it just creates a temporary mount point and calls it by UUID since this value is unique
[11:50] <Jemt> Where can I see what WiFi drivers "Additional drivers" is capable of installing automatically?
[11:50] <soreau> Jemt: sys>admin>
[11:50] <soreau> Jemt: What wifi chip is it?
[11:51] <Jemt> soreau: Any - I need to know what adapters are supported through installation of additional drivers
[11:51] <broon_sparrow> that's great thanks. fstab says "/dev/sda6       /media/data           ext4    defaults        0       2" so it will mount at media/data now?
[11:51] <soreau> Jemt: So you want to know what cards have proprietary drivers available? (why?)
[11:51] <broon_sparrow> i'll do a re-start and give see what happens. Still got a problem with thunderbird - i'll try and sort that next.
[11:51] <soreau> broon_sparrow: If ls -l /media/data shows it does exists as a directory
[11:52] <ikonia> truepurple: yes ?
[11:52] <broon_sparrow> output from  la = "total=0" that make sense
[11:52] <truepurple> Ok, I got it to work for whatever reason
[11:52] <Jemt> soreau: I'm remastering Ubuntu, and working on better WiFi support. I have now included the Broadcom STA drivers (popular on Macs), but want to know if I can include other drivers too
[11:52] <Jemt> (its' for a school)
[11:53] <Jemt> it's
[11:53] <truepurple> ikonia: but now it is asking what software I want to install, and I don't know which to use
[11:53] <soreau> Jemt: Other problematic chips include realtek I think
[11:53] <ikonia> truepurple: that's up to you
[11:53] <Jemt> soreau: I don't see any realtek drivers in the repository
[11:53] <truepurple> I don't know what they do though
[11:53] <soreau> Jemt: Popular intel and atheros chips work fine with the default open drivers loaded for them by default
[11:53] <soreau> ! realtek | Jemt
[11:53] <Jemt> soreau: Yes, there are well supported, fortunately
[11:54] <Jemt> Excellent, thank you :)
[11:54] <soreau> Jemt: And FWIW, broadcom is now releasing hw specs so we should see an open broadcom driver pop up soon enough
[11:54] <truepurple> ikonia: What is a DNS server? What is a edubuntu server? What is a LAMP server? What is a mail server? What is a openssh server? What is  postgreSQL database? I could go on and on
[11:55] <Cockroach_ed> Is this download -> Show me how button supposed to do anything?
[11:55] <ikonia> truepurple: what do you mean "what is"
[11:55] <truepurple> What do those do?
[11:55] <Jemt> soreau: Perfect, looking forward to that
[11:55] <lewis> hello can you help me find an msn app?
[11:55] <ikonia> truepurple: you don't want them, you wanted a desktop didn't you
[11:55] <lewis> an official one
[11:56] <ikonia> lewis: there isn't one
[11:56] <lewis> isnt there?
[11:56] <_Alex__> lewis: If yo want, use wine to emulate the original
[11:56] <ikonia> no
[11:56] <ikonia> msn is windows only (official client)
[11:56] <soreau> lewis: microsoft does provide any official apps for linux
[11:57] <soreau> lewis: You can use wine to run native windows applications
[11:57] <_Alex__> lewis:  MS doesn't like us
[11:57] <truepurple> ikonia I don't need any of those for internet?
[11:57] <lewis> thanks
[11:57] <ikonia> truepurple: no
[11:57] <_Alex__> lewis: winehq.org
[11:57] <kos_> Hello, I corrupted my partition table by deleting one of the partitions and the freed space can't be used now. Is it possible to repair it?
[11:57] <truepurple> ikonia: So just pick a desktop and that is it?
[11:57] <ikonia> truepurple: yes
[11:58] <truepurple> ikonia: Which one would be best for a beginner?
[11:58] <ikonia> ubuntu/gnome is the most common
[11:58] <bignono1> hi
[11:59] <_Alex__> trupurple: Gnome=Easy to use, KDE=Cool and Fancy
[11:59] <saurabh> kos_, use gparted to make the freed space into a partition
[11:59] <truepurple> I have alot more options then that
[11:59] <truepurple> and none of them say gnome or KDE
[11:59] <ikonia> truepurple: just pick the ubuntu/gnome option
[11:59] <kos_> gparted don't see any partitions :/
[11:59] <ikonia> truepurple: ubuntu-desktop ? is that in the list ?
[11:59] <_Alex__> What are your options?
[12:00] <kos_> fdisk shows them correctly i guess
[12:00] <zicho> does anyone know if its possible to get xmms2 displaying status in gnome toolbar? similiar to this picture http://tech.mahesha.com/wp-content/images/xmms2_conky.png
[12:00] <Jordan_U> kos_: How did you delete the partition?
[12:00] <soreau> kos_: can you mount them?
[12:00] <truepurple> Ikonia there is Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu
[12:01] <truepurple> And Edubuntu KDE
[12:01] <_Alex__> Kubuntu=KDE, Ubuntu=GNOME
[12:01] <truepurple> The rest?
[12:01] <_Alex__> Xubuntu=XCfee
[12:01] <_Alex__> i think
[12:01] <bignono1> d/l ff 4 tar file extracted to home dir. removed the old ver  now cant start ff the easy way , i have to go to firefox dir in home and start from there no icon no menu please help
[12:01] <soreau> Xfce
[12:01] <ikonia> truepurple: ok so "ubuntu"
[12:01] <truepurple> Edubuntu is?
[12:01] <_Alex__> A addon
[12:01] <ikonia> truepurple: don't worry, just use ubuntu
[12:02] <bignono1> ubuntu 10.04
[12:02] <truepurple> Ok, thanks
[12:02] <soreau> truepurple: Its ubuntu with a bunch of additional applications installed geared toward educational purposes
[12:02] <kos_> i wanted to divide sda6, so i deleted using ubuntu default disk service, but i was bad idea i guess
[12:02] <soreau> I think it comes with gnome and kde
[12:02] <io> truepurple: http://www.ubuntu.com/project/derivatives
[12:02] <soreau> ! edubuntu
[12:02] <austinium> hi, i've installed ubuntu on a pendrive and am thinking of using it from there
[12:02] <io> truepurple: it's probably a good idea to read the background of a project before using it
[12:02] <Jordan_U> kos_: System > Administration > Disk Utility?
[12:03] <kos_> Yes
[12:03] <austinium> do i need to make any configuration changes to the pendrive to last longer?
[12:03] <ikonia> no
[12:03] <Jordan_U> kos_: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[12:04] <austinium> also, i've noticed that applications take longer to load than they would take from an HDD
[12:04] <Jemt> Bye, thanks for all the help :)
[12:04] <austinium> synaptic for instance takes longer
[12:04] <ikonia> austinium: not surprising
[12:04] <austinium> to install packages, reload package lists
[12:04] <soreau> Does driver do even-wear on usb sticks or does that have to already be supported by the hw
[12:04] <lewis> whaqt is sampsung apps?
[12:04] <ikonia> soreau: needs it on the chip on the disk
[12:04] <austinium> i have it partitioned as etx4
[12:04] <austinium> ext4
[12:04] <ikonia> austinium: that's fine
[12:05] <soreau> austinium: Its going to take longer because usb bus is slower
[12:05] <Jordan_U> soreau: That has to be done by the hardware. Even with flash cards wear leveling is done on the card itself.
[12:05] <lewis> whats sampsung apps??
[12:05] <soreau> Jordan_U: Thats what I meant, wear-leveling
[12:05] <DarkSector> I am getting the error while compiling my C programme inttypes.h not found when I can see it in my /usr/include folder, how to get rid of this error.
[12:05] <austinium> is anything i can do to make sure the usb drive doesn't die sooner due to frequent read write operations?
[12:06] <soreau> Jordan_U: ikonia: thanks
[12:06] <Jordan_U> soreau: You're welcome.
[12:06] <ikonia> DarkSector: install the header, or remove the reference
[12:06] <DarkSector> ikonia: the header is already installed, its there in /usr/include, aren't all header files present in the /usr/include
[12:06] <soreau> austinium: Apparently nothing you can do if your flash drive doesnt already have wear-leveling support
[12:07] <austinium> soreau:how do i check if it has it?
[12:07] <ikonia> DarkSector: depends where you application is expecting to reference them from
[12:07] <soreau> austinium: no idea
[12:07] <DarkSector> ikonia: isn't gcc supposed to take it from there ? but ofcourse I am using gcc-avr
[12:07] <ikonia> austinium: it won't
[12:07] <DarkSector> ikonia: this error wasn't occuring in 10.04 but does in 10.10
[12:07] <ikonia> DarkSector: it's set in the makefile,
[12:07] <soreau> austinium: I doubt it does though as this is a relatively new technology
[12:07] <DarkSector> ikonia: oh !
[12:08] <kos_> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/8d9NhWuJ , it is not english version
[12:08] <DarkSector> ikonia: er.. how can I find that ?
[12:08] <ikonia> DarkSector: maybe a differnce include path in gcc-avr over gcc, I don't know
[12:08] <nrdb_> DarkSector: doulbe check are you using "#include <inttypes.h>" or "#include "inttypes.h""
[12:08] <austinium> soreau: ok
[12:08] <lewis> is there an official msn app?
[12:08] <DarkSector> nrdb_:  #include <inttypes.h>
[12:08] <_Alex__> lewis: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
[12:08] <soreau> lewis: Why are you asking the same question?
[12:08] <ikonia> lewis: you've been told
[12:09] <kos_> Jordan_U: it returns bad signature error
[12:09] <nrdb_> DarkSector: hmmm! ok
[12:09] <Jordan_U> kos_: Please pastebin the output of "sudo LANG=C parted -l".
[12:09] <nrdb_> DarkSector: how about the permissions of the "/usr/include/inttypes.h"
[12:09] <_Alex__> lewis: GO TO winehq.org, ADD WINE TO YOUR UBUNTU REPOs., TYPE AS SUPERUSER 'APTITUDE INSTALL WINE' AND DOWNLOAD MSN FROM MICROSOFT.COM !!!!!
[12:10] <DarkSector> nrdb_: -rw-r--r--
[12:10] <bouma> is there a way to use apt to check the md5sum of every file from every package installed ?
[12:10] <Jordan_U> bouma: Yes, using debsums.

[12:13] <_Alex__> lewis: And you can use 'Empathy' as your MSN client
[12:13] <nrdb_> DarkSector: that appears OK... I don't know what else to check.  ... maybe you could explicitly put '/usr/include' into the search path with the gcc option '-I'
[12:14] <cainus> hey all... can anyone tell me why video players on ubuntu can play the ogg video I made on ubuntu, but video players on other OS' (windows) can't?  Even if I use updated VLC on both machines, there's a disparity...
[12:14] <_Alex__> cainus: You need codecs
[12:15] <broon_sparrow> so media/data now exists but the drive isn't mounted there. in gparted the mount point is still media/random string
[12:15] <_Alex__> !medibuntu
[12:16] <cainus> Alex: it's the other way around... the video plays in ubuntu, but not windows (and youtube can't read it either)
[12:16] <soreau> broon_sparrow: Why do you keep looking at gparted? You should be looking at mount and /etc/fstab
[12:16] <_Alex__> Weird
[12:16] <lewis> right im on the wine website now what do i click?
[12:16] <_Alex__> download

[12:18] <_Alex__> lewis: Click the ubuntu icon
[12:18] <ruan> bignono1: it would be better if you installed from PPA
[12:18] <_Alex__> and do what it says
[12:18] <Bipul`> Offical MSN client then go for vMWARE
[12:18] <ruan> !ff4 | bignono1
[12:18] <Bipul`> or Virtual Operating system
[12:18] <random0111> zulo: what type of network?
[12:19] <bignono1> ruan i know but now i'm stuck
[12:19] <jali> bigonol: Why don't you use the ppa? No need to compile ff 4
[12:19] <soreau> ZULO: What about it?
[12:19] <Bipul`> lewis,  i suggest you to install virtual Operating system
[12:19] <bignono1> i need to fix it now

[12:20] <_Alex__> IDK
[12:20] <fulldaykg> ZULO: that's just a pitcute... what's the problem?
[12:20] <fulldaykg> picture*
[12:20] <ruan> bignono1: you can still use the ppa to install firefox
[12:20] <_Alex__> I think yes
[12:20] <ruan> bignono1: it's preferred
[12:21] <random0111> Fulldaykug: that is his network layout it seems.
[12:21] <zicho> soreau no, xmms2 is audacious, xmms2 is another project
[12:21] <zicho> i mean, xmms
[12:21] <fulldaykg> oh... and you want to un-F it?
[12:21] <soreau> ZULO: You need an ISP for internet.. maybe you should try explaining your problem in ##networking

[12:22] <ZULO> soreau, i have internet, i want have connection with my 2 nets (<IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>) but when i have connection i lose internet connection

[12:23] <savask> Hello. How can I turn off switching to DST in ubuntu 10.10?

[12:27] <truepurple> How do i get it to start without having to log in like that every time?
[12:28] <truepurple> Also, I installed a desktop, but it takes me to a command prompt, a command prompt is totally useless for a linux newbie like me, how do I get the desktop?
[12:28] <ruan> truepurple: how did you install the desktop
[12:29] <truepurple> I choose it from the list of programs it asked what I wanted to install from
[12:29] <lewis> are you all computer geeke
[12:29] <fulldaykg> yes
[12:29] <truepurple> Then it did a bunch of installing stuff
[12:29] <ruan> yes
[12:29] <Guy-Incognito> oh yes
[12:30] <oCean> lewis: do you have a support question?
[12:30] <io> truepurple: package 'ubuntu-desktop' is installed?
[12:30] <yisas_2011> hello all
[12:30] <yisas_2011> wish you could help me
[12:30] <ruan> truepurple: which desktop is this?
[12:30] <yisas_2011> I am currently ussing Ubuntu 9.10 Koala
[12:31] <truepurple> the ubuntu one
[12:31] <madsj> hi; I have trouble with hibernation, and have tried a good amount of things to get it working. There are no errors (when running pm-hibernate; just a black screen) which makes it harder to debug.
[12:31] <truepurple> io yes
[12:31] <ruan> truepurple: which desktop are you on now?
[12:32] <yisas_2011> with a XGA connected in twinview configuration. Everything works fine with the exception I cant visualize video on the projector. I get the player window but it only shows black content
[12:32] <yisas_2011> any idea about what can be wrong
[12:32] <truepurple> command prompt only ruan (this is a different PC)
[12:32] <io> truepurple: try 'startx'
[12:32] <krux> or gdm
[12:33] <ruan> yeah startx
[12:33] <truepurple> disconnecting, there is a install command I stumbled upon for 0desktop, but it wants the online connection
[12:33] <truepurple> I dont know if what it is trying to install is what I am looking for, but we shall see
[12:33] <io> truepurple: did you try the above?
[12:34] <truepurple> no, I cant try that right now anyway
[12:34] <ruan> startx may get it working
[12:34] <io> why not?
[12:34] <truepurple> Its trying to install, and I dont know how to abort
[12:34] <ruan> ctrl c?
[12:34] <io> installing what? you've said that ubuntu was already installed
[12:34] <truepurple> ah ok that worked
[12:34] <adycovaci1988> hy all
[12:35] <ruan> ctrl c kills the process in a terminal
[12:35] <truepurple> I don't know, it said something about 0desktop, when I typed that, it listed a command to type to install, so I typed that command and it tried to download and install some unknown program
[12:35] <ruan> oh.
[12:35] <io> did 'startx' work?
[12:35] <ruan> it might be needed
[12:36] <ruan> not sure
[12:36] <io> !info 0desktop
[12:36] <truepurple> no, startx did not work
[12:36] <truepurple> It gives a bunch of errors
[12:36] <muneeb> what player to use to watch swf videos with seek bar?
[12:36] <io> truepurple: pastebin them
[12:36] <ruan> truepurple: startx | pastebinit
[12:36] <truepurple> I can't cut and past them and it would take awhile to detail them all
[12:37] <io> !pastebinit | truepurple
[12:37] <io> truepurple: you're here for support, if you want support you'll need to show us the errors
[12:38] <truepurple> It is on a separate computer, I need to look back and forth between screens slowly writing down stuff and checking to make sure I got it all
[12:38] <truepurple> Could I just give you a sample of the errors?
[12:38] <io> truepurple: read the above
[12:38] <muneeb> what to use to watch SWF videos in Ubuntu with seek bar??
[12:39] <io> truepurple: 'apt-get install pastebinit; startx | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com'
[12:39] <truepurple> io: Maybe I could show you just a sample of the error? rather then over a half a page of errors with near random letters and numbers that somewhat repeat
[12:39] <ruan> muneeb: firefox
[12:39] <ruan> oh wait
[12:39] <ruan> seek bar hmmm
[12:40] <io> truepurple: no. pastebin it all using the above method
[12:40] <muneeb> ruan, hmm i need seek bar basically otherwise i'm using Gnash
[12:40] <truepurple> io IT IS ON A SEPARATE COMPUTER
[12:40] <io> truepurple: that makes no difference. do the above on that computer
[12:40] <ruan> truepurple: yes but install pastebinit, and run startx | pastebinit
[12:40] <DirtyDawg>   i just used the live cd image of ubuntu, it gave me the option to either "use" or "instal" wouldnt that have been easier
[12:40] <io> also using capitals and getting irate doesn't help the situation
[12:41] <truepurple> To what end?
[12:41] <truepurple> oh, to put it on the webpage? Ok I will try it, disconnected again
[12:41] <io> truepurple: on the other computer, in the terminal type: 'apt-get install pastebinit; startx | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com'
[12:42] <io> truepurple: you don't need to visit any website. that command will put the errors on a pastebin and give you the URL
[12:42] <io> truepurple: then you give us the URL, we have a look and see if we can help
[12:43] <varun_> hi
[12:43] <Jurgentje> hi
[12:43] <varun_> problem
[12:43] <terry> solution
[12:44] <jkgeyti> I am running shutdown +1 in a power.d script, that is executed on power change (on change to battery power). If changing back to AC power within one minute, I want to cancel the shutdown. However, neither shutdown -c nor killall shutdown can find the process, according to /var/log/pm-powersave.log . Any ideas on how to cancel the shutdown?
[12:44] <varun_> truepurple, :what is the command you said
[12:45] <jkgeyti> (shutdown -c and killall is obviously also commands run in th pm-powersave script
[12:45] <varun_> io:what is the command which will put errors in the pastebin
[12:45] <terry> varun_:    ----- | pastebin

[12:46] <yisas_2011> I am currently using ubuntu 9.10 Koala connected with a XGA video projector in twin view configuration. Most of time it works perfectly, but there is a problem when a try to play videos (with ubuntu player or VLC). I play a video and in the laptop screen i can  visualize it ok, but in the projector i get the player window but it does not show any content but a black screen. I have tried to change the resolution configuration to XG
[12:46] <yisas_2011> I need to get this issue solve within 1 hour or I will get my A$% kicked. Please help! any idea!!??
[12:47] <fr00g> Does anyone know how to implement imgur uploading in Shutter?
[12:47] <bonjoyee> yisas_2011: some settings in the bios that could enable the external display?
[12:47] <charolastra> hi, is vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 100 the default?
[12:47] <terry> yisas_2011: Can you use mplayer?
[12:47] <Jordan_U> yisas_2011: It has to do with GPU video acceleration (via overlay). You can disable video overlay and it will work fine (though maybe at a lower FPS).
[12:48] <Jordan_U> yisas_2011: What video player are you using?
[12:48] <terry> Jordan_U: He said vlc
[12:48] <yisas_2011> Jordan_U: I am using VLC
[12:49] <klendos> Hello
[12:49] <ruan> vlc/totem it seems
[12:49] <terry> ruan: What?
[12:49] <yisas_2011> Jordan_U: I have tried to disable the overlay but it didnt solve the problem
[12:49] <ruan> terry: which he is using
[12:49] <Jordan_U> yisas_2011: Tools > Preferences > Video > Video output. Select "X11".
[12:50] <yisas_2011> let me try
[12:50] <madsj> nobody with the same hibernation problem in ubuntu 10.10 who found a fix?
[12:51] <truepurple> Oops, I made a mistake, I got the error messages from canceling that last install mixed up with the message from typing startx
[12:52] <truepurple> BTW that command you said to use, I could not make one of the characters in it, the straight up and down lines
[12:52] <terry> yisas_2011: Look at xrandr for another resolution that might be acceptible (to the projector).  Maybe changing will make a difference.
[12:52] <ruan> truepurple: its a key next to enter
[12:52] <ruan> truepurple: |
[12:53] <Jordan_U> terry: I don't think you understand. He is seeing everything on the projector screen except the movie.
[12:53] <truepurple> Not on either of the keyboards I have here
[12:53] <ruan> truepurple: and backward slash? \
[12:53] <truepurple> I can make backwards slash \
[12:53] <terry> Jordan_U: Maybe he should fiddle with the projector's config.
[12:54] <ruan> truepurple: hold shift while pressing backwards slash
[12:54] <yisas_2011> Jordan_U: GREAT!
[12:54] <yisas_2011> it works now
[12:54] <yisas_2011> THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[12:54] <truepurple> Ah, it shows two doted line colon, not a solid line
[12:54] <Jordan_U> yisas_2011: You're welcome.
[12:54] <ruan> yisas_2011: im glad it works for you
[12:54] <charolastra> if noone know, could someone run "sysctl vm.vfs_cache_pressure" and tell me the value?
[12:54] <morpheus_> hi

[13:20] <truepurple> ruan: I ran the install command and it installed, then I typed startx. It loaded something very strange. A mostly black blank screen, with white box in the top right corner, and in this white box is a very tiny black command prompt, that does not accept any commands
[13:21] <ruan> truepurple: did you install ubuntu-desktop by typing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ?
[13:21] <truepurple> And when I say tiny, I mean I almost need a magnifying glass to read it
[13:21] <B9> ruan: thanx 4 ur time
[13:22] <ruan> B9: np
[13:22] <akagi82> anyone help with tftp, not sure when using the put command how to locate the actual file
[13:22] <truepurple> ruan: I typed the install command it told me to type when I typed startx, I also installed ubuntu desktop earlier when I was installing other things
[13:23] <ruan> truepurple: hmmm. to me it seems as if its not installed properly
[13:23] <B9> ruan: i did that command and it was sweet but i went to the "media" folder and the flash drive still isn't discovered... :-(  i find this really confuzzling and confounding why it is so farkin difficult
[13:23] <ruan> B9: and in /mnt/usb?
[13:23] <truepurple> ruan So what went wrong? And how do I fix it?
[13:25] <ruan> truepurple: im not sure how to fix it :/
[13:25] <B9> ruan: when i put my flash drive in why doesn't it just mount? why? why? why?
[13:25] <B9> the light comes on and it flashes :-S
[13:28] <histo> B9: does it show up in lsusb or dmesg?
[13:30] <jwtiyar> i cant connect to my usb huawei modem 10.4 lts , but its working on 10.10?
[13:30] <histo> jwtiyar: driver issue?
[13:30] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[13:31] <jwtiyar> histo,i dont understand , but in 10.10 read it automatically but in 10.4 not shwing any thing
[13:33] <histo> jwtiyar: perhaps 10.4's kernel doesn't have the proper module(driver) to use the device.
[13:33] <jwtiyar> histo,oww god so what to do?
[13:33] <histo> jwtiyar: what make and model is it?
[13:34] <ravn1> anyone else that experience that sound started clipping after the latest update in 10.10?
[13:35] <BluesKaj> jwtiyar, whynot upgrade to 10.10 or was that the live-cd, because sometimes live-cd works better with wifi than an install
[13:35] <oobiloz> !!!
[13:35] <oobiloz> i just did updates on 10.10
[13:35] <oobiloz> so fari 'm okay
[13:36] <jwtiyar> BluesKaj, i liked lts , how to upgrade it without live-cd?

[13:41] <BluesKaj> jwtiyar, in your packagemanager ...there probly aren't any there if you don't remember adding them :)
[13:41] <rony> hi
[13:41] <histo> jwtiyar: I would also recomend searching the forums
[13:41] <B9> histo: yes but it says that it is 4gb and it s/b 16 gb :-S
[13:41] <fr00g> Does anyone know how to implement imgur uploading in Shutter?
[13:41] <histo> jwtiyar: also check hardware drivers under system > admin
[13:41] <jrib> Acruax: or command substitution $()
[13:42] <histo> B9: are you sure
[13:42] <jwtiyar> BluesKaj, i added some , but where i can delete them?
[13:42] <B9> histo: i am sure of nothing except that I am sure that it has 16gb badged on the side of it
[13:42] <BluesKaj> jwtiyar, in the packagemanager
[13:43] <jwtiyar> histo, , no propery drive are in in use
[13:43] <jwtiyar> BluesKaj, authentication tab?
[13:43] <BluesKaj> jwtiyar, the checkbox
[13:44] <histo> jwtiyar: yeah I'd try searching the forums for your specific card. I'm sure there is a way to get it working in 10.04. If you still want to upgrade to 10.10 I can have ubottu send you some info
[13:44] <histo> !upgrade > jwtiyar
[13:44] <antant> Hey guys. Could do with a hand with this. Every time I try and make a persistent USB install it won't boot. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong and how to fix it?

[13:47] <g0r33k> Hello, When I type ls -l in my /media/ on one of my hard drives it says my username before it (im guessing it has to do with only allowing that user permissions to read/write) how can i change it so that root has those permissions?

[13:54] <wowoto> The aircrack-ng changelog doesn't mention anything that replaces or removes the command

[13:55] <mahfuz_cse_05> I also hope so

[13:58] <Pirsch> Hello
[13:58] <cutiyar_> how to change mirrors?
[13:58] <bl4ckcomb`> g0r33k, what file system is your partition?
[13:59] <g0r33k> bl4ckcomb`: NTFS
[13:59] <bl4ckcomb`> g0r33k, man mount.ntfs
[13:59] <g0r33k> okay
[13:59] <Pirsch> I've installed Tweak and somehow locked myself out of my folders. When I click on home, documents, or pictures for example, a terminal window opens with the messaage "Cound not exec /home/user: Permission denied"
[14:00] <bl4ckcomb`> g0r33k, for ntfs you set the permissions with your mount command
[14:00] <B9> wowoto: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/
[14:00] <g0r33k> oh i see. Ill have a read of the manual then. Thanks

[14:01] <symtab> hi
[14:01] <Pirsch> Hello. I've installed Tweak and somehow locked myself out of my folders. When I click on home, documents, or pictures for example, a terminal window opens with the messaage "Cound not exec /home/user: Permission denied"
[14:02] <symtab> wtf happened to ubuntu and flash? for the last 2 flash player updates, flash destroys the desktop and uses 100% cpu
[14:04] <Pirsch> I've installed Tweak and somehow locked myself out of my folders. When I click on home, documents, or pictures for example, a terminal window opens with the messaage "Cound not exec /home/user: Permission denied"
[14:05] <area51pilot> I have a WUBI installed 10.10 OS that wont boot, how can I go about repaairing this
[14:05] <B9> can someone PLS just help me to find my flash drive in a graphical user interface
[14:07] <j_ayen_green> is it me, or is it completely nuckingfutz that ubuntu is in version 11 and there is not a dependable backup solution? I lost my entire development volume to sbackup last night when I discovered that all the full backups had .tgz files that ended unexpectedly
[14:07] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, raid and version control (svn, git, mercurial, ...)
[14:07] <ikonia> j_ayen_green: any chance you can tone down the clever language dodging
[14:08] <Pirsch> I've installed Tweak and somehow locked myself out of my folders. When I click on home, documents, or pictures for example, a terminal window opens with the messaage "Cound not exec /home/user: Permission denied"
[14:08] <ikonia> j_ayen_green: there are plenty of usable backup options
[14:08] <j_ayen_green> ikonia, consider it toned... only clever people would have known anyway...so it's sort of an ego booster
[14:08] <j_ayen_green> ikonia, simplebackup is 'usable'
[14:08] <ikonia> it's not appreciated, but thank you for stopping
[14:08] <ikonia> j_ayen_green: sure
[14:09] <ikonia> Pirsch: why is it trying to exec
[14:09] <Pirsch> No idea. Sorry, I'm a noob
[14:09] <Pirsch> But when I click it, the terminal opens with the message and then closes
[14:10] <gaurav_help> Ubuntu 10.10 is not getting
[14:10] <ikonia> gaurav_help: not getting what
[14:10] <bl4ckcomb`> :')
[14:10] <j_ayen_green>  bl4ckcomb I suppose it should have occurred to me, using version control instead of backup software :), but it didn't until you said it. what a great idea!
[14:10] <bl4ckcomb`> this is like sunday drivers on IRC
[14:11] <j_ayen_green> bl4ckcomb, the backup volume would be the repository with svn? I guess with git both would be.
[14:11] <gaurav_help> while updating system it shows me error " W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ maverick/partner i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_partner_binary-i386_Packages)"
[14:11] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, still, that doesn't backup. I use RAID mirroring for backup
[14:11] <Pirsch> ikonia: I installed Tweak and no doubt I tweeked just a little too much. Is it possible to reinstall something to get my old settings?
[14:11] <area51pilot> need help repairing MBR for WUBI install
[14:11] <ikonia> gaurav_help: I have told you what do about that
[14:11] <ikonia> Pirsch: no, plus ubuntu tweak is not something I support or receommend, if you need a tool like that to do basic things, you shouldn'tbe doing it
[14:12] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, for both a simple directory could be a repository. So you can dedicate a whole disk/partition or just a folder in a shared partition
[14:12] <j_ayen_green> bl4ckcomb, well, in my case the source is a laptop, so I need to deposit the files somewhere first
[14:12] <Pirsch> ikonia: I won't say I don't agree with you at this point. :) Self-learning is not without a little pain.
[14:13] <ikonia> Pirsch: that's not a bad attitude to have
[14:13] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, yes, if your laptop doesn't support 2 disks, you're probably better of with a remote repository on a desktop/server machine
[14:13] <fr00g> Does anyone know how to implement imgur uploading in Shutter?
[14:14] <Pirsch> ikonia: what about creating a new user ID with all the admin freedom, log out, log in and delete my current ID?
[14:14] <ikonia> Pirsch: what's your current username (this is easy to fix)
[14:14] <j_ayen_green> bl4ckcomb, doesn't it get messy, though, if some of the directories being backed up are under svn control already? for instance, if I'm working on a project and the directory is checked out from a client's svn, and I'm not ready to commit, how would I back that up to a different svn?
[14:14] <Pirsch> brian
[14:14] <Pirsch> ikonia: brian
[14:15] <ikonia> Pirsch: open a terminal and type this "sudo chown -R brian:brian /home/brian && sudo chmod -R 775 /home/brian"
[14:15] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, as I said I use RAID mirroring. it's done on kernel level and it syncs whole partitions on multiple disks. So if one drive fails, you can replace it without losing data
[14:16] <jrib> Pirsch, ikonia: wait
[14:16] <jrib> ikonia: that will make all his files executable though
[14:16] <ikonia> ?
[14:16] <DrSlony> Help, I've been running a 64 bit linux distro for years. I want to install ubuntu in virtualbox and the ubuntu website says that the 32 bit version is recommended. Why? Any problems with your 64 bit version?
[14:16] <ikonia> jrib: yes, it will get him in, we can pull it back once we understand what's happened
[14:16] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, or did i misunderstand your question?
[14:17] <Pirsch> ikonia: chown: cannot access /home/brian/ .gvfs': Permisiion denied
[14:17] <B9> my iRiver won't even play unless i pray... talk about the Age of the Spiritual Machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Spiritual_Machines
[14:17] <ikonia> Pirsch: that's ok
[14:17] <j_ayen_green> bl4ckcomb, right. in this case, it wasn't a hardware failure, it was drush wiping my dev directory :(   well, the question is again, if I first need to get the files onto the platform that has raid, and were to use svn to do that, I could have directories that need to be under svn control from their original project repository as well as the backup repository.
[14:17] <Pirsch> ikonia: ok
[14:17] <ikonia> B9: why are you posting that in an ubuntu uspport room, don't do it
[14:18] <B9> ikonia: well it isn't exactly off topic :-D
[14:18] <ikonia> B9: it is totally offtopic
[14:19] <B9> ikonia: creative lisence
[14:19] <ikonia> B9: no - it is totally offtopic, please don't post things like that again
[14:19] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, why would you need a backup repository? Just make sure no-one has permissions for deleting your actual repository
[14:19] <Pirsch> ikonia: If I uninstalled Tweak, would it restore my previous settings?
[14:19] <B9> ikonia: *humph*
[14:19] <ikonia> Pirsch: doubtful
[14:19] <ikonia> B9: is that a "yes" ?
[14:20] <Pirsch> ikonia: Should be worth a try?
[14:20] <ikonia> Pirsch: not really, but if you want
[14:20] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, if they are removing files from the repository, you can just checkout a previous revision and continue from that one again
[14:20] <ikonia> Pirsch: just do the command I told you
[14:20] <B9> ikonia: i am just feeling DUMBfounded that i can't discover what is on my flash drive... aghast in fact
[14:20] <Pirsch> ikonia: I did and I was denied permission
[14:21] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, the only 'weak spot' then is your local version on your laptop
[14:21] <ikonia> Pirsch: show me the output of "ls -la /home" in a pastebin please
[14:21] <jrib> B9: your earlier pastebin shows you trying to mount /dev/sda1.  That's definitely not your flash drive
[14:21] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, so just make sure you commit whenever possible
[14:21] <bl4ckcomb`> (continuous integration)
[14:21] <B9> jrib: i just don't understand why when i plug it in sometimes it discovers and then other times it doesn't it is so fickle
[14:22] <j_ayen_green> bl4ckcomb, right..the problem is that I don't necessarily want to commit 'across the board', I want to backup (commit) but am not ready to update the client's project repository (not commit)
[14:22] <jrib> B9: check dmeg when it fails to mount when you plug it in if you want  to investigate
[14:22] <Pirsch> ikonia: total 12
[14:22] <Pirsch> drwxr-xr-x  3 root  root  4096 2011-03-27 09:05 .

[14:22] <bazej> #ubuntu pl
[14:22] <ikonia> Pirsch: ok, so what happens when youi open nautlius now
[14:22] <ikonia> bazej: #ubuntu-pl
[14:23] <bazej> #ubuntu.pl
[14:23] <ikonia> bazej: no, #ubuntu-pl
[14:23] <Pirsch> ikonia: permission is still denied
[14:23] <ikonia> Pirsch: ok, so it's not file system permissions then, you've changed something within naulius
[14:23] <ikonia> Pirsch: from a terminal can you do this "cd /home/brian"
[14:23] <jrib> Pirsch: try pressing the "reload" button in nautilus
[14:24] <B9> jrib: dmeg? or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmesg
[14:24] <jrib> B9: I meant "dmesg", typo
[14:24] <Pirsch> ikonia: nothing happens
[14:24] <B9> dmesg
[14:24] <ikonia> Pirsch: that's good, that means you have permissions to your home drive, try jrib's suggestion now
[14:25] <Polah> In phpmyadmin is it possible to set it so that specific users can only see specific databases?
[14:26] <ikonia> Polah: that's just permissions, you just need to grant permisisons to individual databases to individual users, then when they login they can only see the db's they have permission to
[14:26] <Pirsch> ikonia: I opened Nautilus through terminal and then did the relaod. I caould access my files, I guess cause I'm sudo. But once I closed Nautilus and tried clicking on my folders, I was again denied permission.
[14:27] <j_ayen_green> bl4ckcomb, unless, does svn support identifying the intended repository on the commit, so that I could commit to the backup repository but not the project one? It would need to in some sense anyway, otherwise how would it know to commit to TWO repositories? Am I befuddled enough?
[14:27] <ikonia> Pirsch: ok, lets clear a few things down, can you reboot your machine ?
[14:27] <B9> jrib: most commandline is gobbleygook to me but i bumble my way thru http://paste.ubuntu.com/586143/
[14:28] <jrib> B9: /dev/sdb1 is what you should be trying to mount
[14:29] <Pirsch> ikonia: I just noticed I got a warning in terminal when I executed Nautilus. : (nautilus:2938): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks",
[14:29] <Pirsch> ikonia: I'm using Gnome3
[14:30] <ikonia> Pirsch: how are you using gnome 3???
[14:30] <edwinkcw_> question: if I install a new shared library like libx264, do I need to run ldconfig manually?
[14:30] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: the package install normally does it for you
[14:30] <Acruax> in ~/.bashrc I have COMMAND_PROMT variable. How can I print last entered command in terminal as string?
[14:30] <B9> jrib: it says it is already mounted, but when i go into the "media" folder i cant find it :-(  i need a gui
[14:30] <Pirsch> ikonia: it's in repositories. I love it. Really cool and uber fast.
[14:30] <LiquidDemocracy> How can I encrypt a file symmetrically? Seahorse and seahorse-plugins are installed. However, when I right click on a file I only get the option to encrypt with my keypairs.
[14:31] <erUSUL> LiquidDemocracy: gpg -c file
[14:31] <ikonia> Pirsch: it's not in the repos - its in a PPA, so to be clear, you're new to Linux, you're using an unsupported development desktop build, and unsupported tweak tools that are designed for gnome 2
[14:31] <ikonia> Pirsch: that's not a good setup
[14:31] <LiquidDemocracy> erUSUL, yes, but there also is a GUI way. I have done it in the past a lot.
[14:31] <Pirsch> ikonia: is this where I say "oooops" and place a bag over my head?
[14:32] <Polah> ikonia: Are databased named as <computer>.<database>?
[14:32] <ikonia> Pirsch: I'd suggest re-installing and going to a stable OS and desktop version
[14:33] <edwinkcw_> ikonia, but after installing it, I compile ffmpeg and it said the library are missing until I run ldconfig. Then everthing goes fine. That's why I ask this question
[14:33] <B9> ikonia: is there a commandline that will rust reinstall 10.10?
[14:33]  * ManateeLazyCat pasted "ssh-tunnel.desktop" at http://paste2.org/get/1327913
[14:33] <ManateeLazyCat> I have add "plink -N -v name@server -D <IP_ADDRESS>:7070 -pw password" in ~/.config/autostart/ssh-tunnel.desktop (like above), but why plink not startup after i login?
[14:33] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: how did you install it ?
[14:33] <ManateeLazyCat> It's strange.
[14:33] <ManateeLazyCat> Any idea?
[14:33] <ikonia> B9: no
[14:33] <edwinkcw_> I compile libx264 with ./confgiure --enable-shared and make, and sudo make install
[14:33] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: that's why then
[14:34] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: I said it does it for you if you install the package, you've not installed the package, you've manually built it
[14:34] <edwinkcw_> umm...what is the problem?
[14:34] <B9> with 10.10 bits and pieces of the gui just fall off, i can't even open a search folder anymore :-(
[14:34] <Pirsch> ikonia: but gnome3 is so pretty. :D  Jokes aside, I hear you. One of the benefits of being noobistic is that reinstallations are like walking. I do them without thinking. (obviously) :D
[14:34] <edwinkcw_> ic
[14:34] <edwinkcw_> that means I need to do ldconfig every time when I compile library from source?
[14:34] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: correct
[14:35] <edwinkcw_> iknoia: thanks
[14:35] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: I'd strongly advise you against compiling libraries from source though
[14:35] <area51pilot> I get this on startup... "NO Init Found. Try passing init = bootarg" then (initramfs) .... what can I do to repair this startup
[14:35] <ikonia> area51pilot: look at the partition that is supposed to contain init, make sure it's there and make sure your grub config is pointing at it
[14:35] <edwinkcw_> ikonia, but some libraries are missing in Ubuntu
[14:35] <Polah> Are there any known problems with SSH failing on Ubuntu 10.04?
[14:35] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: then install them from the package manager
[14:35] <ikonia> Polah: no
[14:36] <B9> i give up an hour and a half is long enuff to try and discover a flash drive, good night everyone or morning or afternoon wherever u r
[14:36] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, I can't follow... when you commit your new revision you say what target repository you want (url) and who you are (username + password)
[14:36] <edwinkcw_> ikonia, I mean it is missing in package manager also
[14:36] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: which ones ?
[14:36] <jrib> B9: you should pastebin your attempt at mounting it
[14:36] <Pirsch> ikonia: thanks for your time and efforts. I'll start a fresh reinstall. I'll miss my 1.5 sec shut down.
[14:36] <bl4ckcomb`> j_ayen_green, so if you have multiple projects, you create a repository for each project
[14:37] <bazej> #ubuntu.pl
[14:37] <ikonia> Pirsch: enjoy
[14:37] <edwinkcw_> ikonia: libxavs
[14:37] <area51pilot> ikonia: i also get mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or dir ( same for /sys on /root/sys & /proc on /root/proc...target file system does not  have /sbin/init
[14:37] <BluesKaj> Polah, not that I'm aware of , unless it's a specific problem with an individual network setup
[14:37] <ikonia> area51pilot: yes, that's not unuepected
[14:37] <edwinkcw_> ikonia: which is a video codec in China
[14:37] <ikonia> unexpected
[14:37] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: I don't know that one, sorry
[14:37] <LiquidDemocracy> Is there a way to symmetrically encrypt a file with a GUI under Gnome?
[14:38] <edwinkcw_> ikonia, that's fine
[14:38] <BluesKaj> Polah, what's the problem ?
[14:38] <oobiloz> ikonia...
[14:38] <area51pilot> ikonia: I have no clue ... whats up...and btw it's a WUBI installed 10.10 OS
[14:38] <ikonia> yes ?
[14:38] <oobiloz> eh
[14:38] <edwinkcw_> one more question, how do I install CUPS with SSL support?
[14:38] <Polah> BluesKaj: I've just attempted to connect to my VPS via SSH and FTP and both fail; I've tried rebooting and it still won't connect, but Apache and PHPMyAdmin are still running fine. It was working fine last night when I stopped using it
[14:38] <oobiloz> anyone had trouble with skype in xubuntu?
[14:38] <ikonia> area51pilot: sorry, I don't support wubi installs
[14:38] <area51pilot> ok
[14:38] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: you don't need ssl support for cups
[14:39] <area51pilot> are there any commands from the BusyBox shell to try and stratup the file sys
[14:39] <area51pilot> startup
[14:39] <edwinkcw_> ikonia: but my printer server is using https as protocol
[14:39] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: that's fine, cups will deal with that
[14:39] <bs_> can any body tell me how to install chromium web browser through terminal
[14:40] <erUSUL> bs_: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[14:40] <edwinkcw_> ikonia: but I can't find https in printer setting page
[14:40] <pwg> hello,everybody : ))
[14:40] <edwinkcw_> ikonia: I found samba, http, lpd
[14:40] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: point it at 443
[14:40] <gbase> area51pilot: when did the problem appeared?
[14:40] <pwg> :)
[14:40] <pwg> :)
[14:41] <LiquidDemocracy> Is there a way to symmetrically encrypt a file with a GUI under Gnome?
[14:41] <bazej> #ubuntu.pl
[14:42] <edwinkcw_> ikonia: do you mean I type http://server:443/print_queue in device URI?
[14:42] <BluesKaj> Polah, ok that's somewhat beyond my scope ..I'm used to ssh on wans or lans
[14:42] <ikonia> edwinkcw_: try it

[14:43] <smw> Guest70475, please get a real name.
[14:43] <smw> Guest70475, type /nick and then a new name.
[14:44] <LiquidDemocracy> smw, of course I could. I am Ubuntu. Why do you ask?
[14:44] <Legacy2010> Sorry, I'm not a big IRC User, Someone suggested coming here and seeking advice.
[14:44] <LiquidDemocracy> smw, on Ubuntu. :)
[14:44] <smw> LiquidDemocracy, It is much easier with the cli tool :-)
[14:45] <LiquidDemocracy> smw, I know but not nearly as comfortable.
[14:45] <smw> LiquidDemocracy, I would try a gpg gui if you absolutely need a gui. http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/frontends.html#gui
[14:45] <Legacy2010> I'm trying to preseed an Ubuntu/Debian installation (Must be 100% Unmanned) and for some reason it's not seeing my "d-i partman-md/confirm boolean true"

[14:45] <truepurple> Can someone help me with this desktop problem please? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10606369#post10606369
[14:47] <LiquidDemocracy> smw, I had already looked at that page but it doesn't say which frontend can use symmetric encryption.
[14:47] <smw> LiquidDemocracy, I don't know either. I would try seahorse first
[14:47] <LiquidDemocracy> smw, it is already installed.
[14:48] <LiquidDemocracy> You can not do symmetric encryption with seahorse
[14:48] <Legacy2010> I'm trying to preseed an Ubuntu/Debian installation (Must be 100% Unmanned) and for some reason it's not seeing my "d-i partman-md/confirm boolean true"

[14:49] <erUSUL> !firewall | Poisonfibre
[14:49] <Poisonfibre> Thank you
[14:49] <smw> LiquidDemocracy, in that case, all I can say is use gpg -c file_to_encrypt :-(
[14:50] <jon_athon> my touchpad has a mind of its own

[14:50] <jerriy> test122

[14:51] <jon_athon> oh nvm sorry
[14:51] <area51pilot> gbase: I was also getting some WUBI loader errors for a few days..but it would still boot fine
[14:51] <LiquidDemocracy> smw, isn't that truly amazing? After years of Linux and its evolution. Thousands of programs, programs to manage how often one blows his nose to recipe management tools and there is not a tool to symmetrically encrypt files via GUI like in Windows.
[14:52] <tga> sounds like a volunteer to build one
[14:52] <smw> LiquidDemocracy, well, I just don't know of any :-P. I use cli first for most things.
[14:53] <edwinkcw_> which msn client is good in Ubuntu? I tried emesene but there is a bug when adding people
[14:53] <smw> LiquidDemocracy, what tga said. Go extend seahorse :-P
[14:53] <Monster> I'm having some serious issues with 10.10, after updates I can no longer get past the login screen. Anyone encountered this before?
[14:53] <smw> edwinkcw_, what is wrong with empathy?
[14:53] <erUSUL> edwinkcw_: amsn?
[14:53] <LiquidDemocracy> extend seahorse?
[14:53] <LiquidDemocracy> smw, extend seahorse?
[14:53] <edwinkcw_> smw: empathy doesn't support file transfer, right?
[14:53] <smw> LiquidDemocracy, in other words, program support for it ;-)
[14:54] <gbase> i don't know what exactly your problem is... can u???
[14:54] <s093294> Hello, anyone here know what flann is and might be able to assist me in getting it compiled. Im running  mex nearest_neighbors.cpp and it end out in some undefined reference to `flann_find_nearest_neighbors_float aswell as(double, byte, int ) errors
[14:54] <smw> edwinkcw_, it does.
[14:54] <edwinkcw_> erUSUL: amsn is not good but I forgot my reason to reject it.
[14:54] <BluesKaj> edwinkcw_, AMSN?
[14:54] <erUSUL> edwinkcw_: pidgin?
[14:54] <bs_>  any body help me plzz .my computer is not starting because of full space is there any process to delete some thing to start  my computer
[14:54] <edwinkcw_> smw: ok, let me try
[14:54] <smw> edwinkcw_, I suggest empathy and pidgin. They both support file transfers
[14:55] <jiohdi> edwinkcw_, you can use web based meebo which has msn as part of what you can log into
[14:55] <LiquidDemocracy> smw, I am not a programmer. It was no complaint. I just find it _truly_ amazing.
[14:55] <edwinkcw_> smw: btw, what are the difference between empethy and pidgin? I think they are the same
[14:55] <jon_athon> my touchpad has a mind of its own...
[14:55] <edwinkcw_> empathy
[14:55] <smw> edwinkcw_, different programs with different programmers :-)
[14:55] <smw> and different code ;-)
[14:55] <akagi82> anyone know much about tftp flashing?

[14:58] <dannyd_> Hi, I am trying to put some data on an SD card that is in my phone, I connected it to my computer via usb (Its just being detected as sdc from dmesg), but there is no partition, what partition do I create on the SD card for it to be compatible with the phone? (phone is a HTC)
[14:59] <smw> dannyd_, my guess is fat32. Does your phone have a way to format the sd card?
[15:00] <bs_> my pc is not opening after enterning the password because of   full space so will u tell me the solution??
[15:00] <dannyd_> What software can I use to manage my HTC phone on Ubuntu?
[15:00] <DarkStar1> Monster: So what happens when you type in your login details?
[15:01] <smw> bs_, you need to boot a bootable disk and delete stuff.
[15:01] <Monster> I get a dark screen with a blinking cursor and then it brings the login screen back up
[15:01] <smw> bs_, the ubuntu install disk will work.

[15:04] <smw> bs_, no, this is not something easy to teach. sorry
[15:04] <Monster> I've got a GUI up in recovery mode, I think the problem might be a kernel mismatch
[15:04] <smw> bs_, easier to boot a live cd with a gui
[15:04] <mkanyicy> hi matria
[15:04] <mrdeb> what are you trying to do
[15:05] <bs_> smw,thankxx any way
[15:05] <mkanyicy> who | mrdeb
[15:05] <mkanyicy> !who | mrdeb
[15:05] <mrdeb> you dont htink i know that?
[15:06] <DarkStar1> Monster: I doubt it's that.
[15:06] <BluesKaj> Monster, entirrely possible ..I had to remove a new kernel that wouldn't boot..my HW is probly too old
[15:06] <Monster> my hardware is only 2 years old, and I had issues with a kernel 2 revisions back so my boyfriend rolled my kernel back, I'm going to get him to take a look
[15:07] <txomon> hi, is there any way to attach a program to a tty?
[15:07] <txomon> I mean, to use that console
[15:07] <erUSUL> txomon: launch it in that console
[15:07] <smw> txomon, launch it is that console or use screen to attach and detach.
[15:07] <BluesKaj> Monster, did you do the fix broken packages in the dialog ?
[15:08] <txomon> screen?
[15:08] <smw> txomon, it needs to be launched in screen to be reconnected to a tty
[15:08] <txomon> smw: I will test it
[15:08] <smw> txomon, it is a program
[15:08] <mrdeb> Monster: some kernels i tried has bugs. like .33 didnt mute speakers when headphones were plugged in
[15:08] <Monster> BluesKaj: nope, I've got a desktop now so I'm going to leave it alone, I tend to bork systems very easily
[15:08] <petal> hey, i am very frightened and need a genius
[15:08] <txomon> I want to make a dedicated server
[15:08] <Lord_Phoenix> Hello everyone
[15:09] <BluesKaj> Monster, well keep it in mind for your next boot
[15:09] <Monster> I will
[15:09] <petal> I was installing ubuntu, and I selected my home partition (from a previous install) and chose NOT to format it but accidentally selected ext3 when it was an ext4
[15:09] <Monster> is there any way to do that from command line?
[15:09] <Lord_Phoenix> Guys does anyone have issues with gnome-settings-daemon on Ubuntu 10.10 after recent updates?
[15:09] <ikonia> petal: that's not a big problem
[15:09] <petal> then the status bar said "creating ext3 partition for /home"
[15:09] <txomon> and I would like to just have a Java OS running,... but as it is imposible, I want to make a tty just for that
[15:09] <edwinkcw_> sometimes, compiz runs my CPU to be 100% and the screen stucks. I need to use ctrl-alt f2 to change to text console and kill compiz process. I want to know how I can find out the problem
[15:09] <txomon> process
[15:09] <petal> and then it proceeded to format my /home partition
[15:09] <mkanyicy> !ask | Lord_Phoenix
[15:10] <ikonia> petal: what's the problem ?
[15:10] <petal> and i proceeded to freak out. currently i am still in freak out mode
[15:10] <petal> ikonia: the problem is thati just lost my home partition
[15:10] <petal> it was full of data, that is now gone
[15:10] <BluesKaj> Monster, well only in the kernel your booted into , sudo dpkg --configure -a , might help
[15:10] <ikonia> petal: ok, well, it's gone
[15:10] <Lord_Phoenix> mkanyicy: what was that?
[15:10] <Monster> BluesKaj: Thanks
[15:10] <petal> ikonia: with a quick format like that, the data has *not* been written over, the partition has since been unmounted
[15:11] <ikonia> petal: realisticly, it's gone
[15:11] <mkanyicy> Lord_Phoenix, you should state your problem instead of asking like 'does any one have a problem with VLC in 10.04?'
[15:11] <erUSUL> !undelete | petal
[15:11] <ikonia> petal: if not, you need to start using recovery tools
[15:11] <Lord_Phoenix> mkanyicy: got it, thanks
[15:11] <j_ayen_green> bl4ckcomb, ok... normally when I commit, I guess svn has been using the repository I checked out from by default, because I don't specify. So what your saying is that if filex is checked out from svn:clientrepository.com, I can commit it back, or, I can commit it instead to svn:mybackuprepository, or both
[15:12] <Lord_Phoenix> Guys, after recent updates (I guess, missed the point when it started) my gnome-settings-daemon started to crash randomly. Restart helps for sometime but then again same thing.
[15:13] <mkanyicy> Lord_Phoenix, what does the gnome-settings-daemon do?
[15:14] <Lord_Phoenix> mkanyicy: well, basically it drops the theme to gnome default one and keyboard layout switching stops working
