[08:29] <Polah> dragondon: Because nobody knows the answer.
[08:29] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, the classic is in the bootom bar at the login as a choice after you hit the user name
[08:29] <jnsl_> okay, thanks for info =)
[08:30] <ikonia> jnsl_: my suggestion to you (it's tedious, sorry) is to run the "memcheck" tool from your grub menu for at least 8 full passes (this can take 12 hours easy)
[08:30] <erikrpm> hi people, I have a issue that I hoped to get some feedback. Setting up a preseed file to install 10.04 and have issue with new hardware model with network card intel 82579LM, it uses module e1000 and from what I have seen the default netboot kernel can't find the network card. So right now I am stuck with installing 50 machines due to I'tt can't find network card and use preseed file.
[08:30] <ikonia> jnsl_: that will hit your memory quite hard and see if it brings up any error, from there you can move forward.
[08:30] <dragondon> Polah: really?  I am shocked that noone here knows about iptables....that just is stunning,
[08:30] <ikonia> dragondon: have you asked in the iptables channel
[08:30] <ikonia> dragondon: and what is the issue with iptables ?
[08:30] <ikonia> I missed the uqesetion
[08:30] <Black> hello
[08:31] <Polah> dragondon: Sure, there's probably more than a few people that do, but maybe they didn't see it or don't know the answer to your specific question
[08:31] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Sorry, but I have never done this before, I have pressed ctrl-alt-F1. What code do I type next?
[08:31] <dragondon> ikonia: thanks you!  a sugestion for a channel is much appreciated.  The Q is that remote desktop is not working.  was before I started iptables, but the line to allow rmdsk doens't seem to help
[08:31] <jnsl_> ikonia ok i will try that when i get home
[08:31] <Black> i speak french
[08:32] <somsip> !fr | Black
[08:32] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, no problem, usually you have to boot in your name then a password then run sudo reboot then your password.
[08:32] <ikonia> dragondon: what are you trying to open up ?
[08:32] <dragondon> ikonia: 3389
[08:32] <dragondon> ikonia: tcp
[08:32] <ikonia> erikrpm: the intel E1000 network card has excellent support on linux
[08:32] <Black> haa ok thank you and sorry
[08:32] <parapan> does someone know educational software for linux ? learning english for example or the alphabet learning software ......
[08:32] <ikonia> dragondon: iptables -A INPUT -i $interface_name -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT
[08:32] <static_void> static_void_
[08:33] <wizardken_> parapan, you should check the software center
[08:33] <erikrpm> ikonia: yeah works fine with all other computer models we have but with the netboot kernel you download for 10.04 I get error can't find network card
[08:33] <dragondon> ikonia: I have "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 3389 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT"
[08:33] <dragondon> ikonia: bad?
[08:33] <parapan> wizardken_: of ubuntu ?
[08:33] <ikonia> dragondon: include -m tcp too
[08:33] <wizardken_> parapan, yeah and you can google it too
[08:33] <Black> good bye
[08:33] <ikonia> dragondon: dump --state
[08:33] <ikonia> dragondon: iptables -A INPUT -i $interface_name -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT
[08:33] <wizardken_> parapan, ubuntu software center ... education tab
[08:34] <ikonia> dragondon: try that for a test
[08:34] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok I have done that. I'm loged in, what do I do next?
[08:34] <parapan> wizardken_: Ok, I knew that ...just thinking someone may used such softwares before
[08:34] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, logged in at the area after the crtl-alt-f1 or the classic desktop?
[08:35] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok I have logged in, but how do I get the classic desktop?
[08:35] <dragondon> ikonia: ok, done, now my next q, best way to restart/make sure that iptables accepted the new settings?
[08:36] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Do I just type it in? :D
[08:37] <ikonia> dragondon: normally just doing "iptables-save" will dump your iptables config to a file and you can use iptables-restore to pick it up as part of the init script, however I'm not sure how ubuntu firewall would conflict with that, I never use ubuntu firewall, so don't know
[08:37] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, run sudo reboot this will reboot you to your regular login window choose the user name then in the bottom panel is a popup for desktops choose the classic there, put in your password and your in the classic
[08:37] <wizardken_> Wow, so many fucking packages
[08:37] <szal> !language | wizardken_
[08:37] <ikonia> dragondon: you may also want to add a line above that of "iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT"
[08:38] <__MAX> Hi , i get this  error when i run service network start  , network:unrecognized service
[08:38] <bt> Should a bug affecting the Launcher&Menus Control Center Item in gnome-control-center be reported to Ubuntu or to the Gnome project?
[08:38] <ikonia> bt: report it to ubuntu and let them fix it with upstream
[08:38] <bt> ok
[08:38] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, compiz in Natty has a refresh problem so you need a restart button for compiz I will link you to one .
[08:38] <dragondon> ikonia: gonna pastebin my total config file, hang on
[08:38] <__MAX> seem to be it network day problem ;)
[08:39] <__MAX> Hi , i get this error when i run service network start , network:unrecognized service
[08:39] <jpds> __MAX: networking?
[08:39] <__MAX> Hi , i get this error when i run service network start , network:unrecognized service
[08:39] <ikonia> __MAX: network is not a valid service
[08:40] <ikonia> __MAX: it's networking I believe
[08:40] <__MAX> how can i solved
[08:40] <jpds> __MAX: Try: sudo service networking start ?
[08:40] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Sorry, Ubuntu classic or Ubuntu classic ( No Effects ) ?
[08:41] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, not sure what you mean a blank screen in the classic?
[08:41] <dragondon> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/vfGxh36R
[08:41] <wizardken_> i just installed awesome wm
[08:41] <wizardken_> how do I switch wm on startup now?
[08:41] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: That pop up has the two options
[08:41] <BlueWolf> :D
[08:41] <__MAX>  i get this error when i run """""""service network start"""""""""""" ,    error   ***************network:unrecognized service**************
[08:41] <jpds> __MAX: I told you that you're using the wrong service.
[08:41] <jpds> __MAX: Twice now.
[08:42] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, I would try the regular with effects, sorry. :D
[08:42] <ikonia> dragondon: looks worth a try
[08:42] <somsip> wizardken_: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Quickly_Setting_up_Awesome_with_Gnome
[08:42] <__MAX> i have some delay in my internet i did'nt see ur answer  0_O
[08:43] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok it's in classic, What next?
[08:43] <dragondon> ikonia:  so how to best restart iptables?  or do I even need to?  still trying to understand it better
[08:43] <ikonia> dragondon: that script does a flush at the start
[08:43] <ikonia> dragondon: thats restarting (clearing down to blank) the iptables rules
[08:43] <VampsDaBeast> ok guys, why does a package not install. I downloaded Hero's of Newerth directly from the site, modified the permission to run as progam, but when i double clcik to run it, it doesnt start! why
[08:44] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: what is the format of the package
[08:44] <wizardken_> how can i check my gnome version?
[08:44] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, .sh package
[08:44] <marcin_> idont know
[08:44] <dragondon> ikonia: ok, I get that, so now that I have added the new line, when does the script take affect?  I mean I just edited it, if I try remdektp the script is auto invoked?
[08:44] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: you'll need to run that from a shell
[08:44] <marcin_> polish?
[08:44] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, install this link displex then open the startup applications and hit add name it and in the command put indicator-displex  ths will be a restart for compiz=window manager in the top panel so when you tweak you can reload it do this first. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/
[08:44] <ikonia> dragondon: re run the script, it will flush your current running rules, and re-apply them with the new one
[08:45] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, why was i able to run it by double clicking in 64 bit Ubuntu, but can not in 32bit?
[08:45] <dragondon> ikonia: see, this is where I get stuck.  how do I 'rerun the script'?
[08:45] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: no idea, but it's a "shell" script
[08:45] <ikonia> dragondon: ./script_name
[08:45] <ikonia> dragondon: or "sudo ./script_name"
[08:45] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, sorry this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/displex/files/displex-0.7.1/
[08:46] <dr_willis> VampsDaBeast:  terminal may show an error message
[08:46] <__MAX> jpds:ok, i type the wright command bu there is no IP just the default <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:47] <dragondon> ikonia: I appreicate your patience, so what you saw in my pastebin is a script?  While this may sound stupidly basic, nowhere have I read that what I am using is called a script, hence my frustration at too many assujmption by different websites
[08:47] <__MAX> and when i type route -n there is nothing  , empty line
[08:47] <sre> hi. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 Beta1 and recently I noticed that the Ubuntu normal login isn't presented as a choice for login. I have Gnome shell (with and without effects and recovery), and Ubuntu 2D. I use the fglrx driver which seems to work fairly ok. Anyone have a suggestion on what packages I should try to reinstall to get Unity reinstalled ?
[08:47] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok thats a mouth full :D . Ok I will try it now  :D
[08:47] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, terminal yeild "Panic Initial setup failed. Cannot Continue"
[08:47] <ikonia> dragondon: what you pastebined to me is a shell script
[08:47] <dragondon> ikonia: thanks!  that helps puts things in perspective seriously better!
[08:48] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: so there is a problem running that script on your machine, you need to debug it
[08:48] <ikonia> dragondon: not a problem
[08:48] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, just ask if needed, this download will make life easier when yo tweak compiz following the loink on getting the cube set up.
[08:48] <soreau> ! 11.10 | sre
[08:48] <__MAX> jpds:
[08:48] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, ok.. walk me thru that.
[08:48] <sre> thanks :)
[08:49] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: I can't it's quite complex, you need to work out what part of the script is failing and why -
[08:49] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok, thanks.   I am VERY new to ubuntu and am having some difficulties, was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out? Thanks :)
[08:51] <dragondon> ikonia: /etc/init.d
[08:51] <__MAX> jpds : interfaces file : auto   eth0                      iface eth0 inet dhcp
[08:51] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, the refresh is not real good and you have to follow a link if your not used to it and know the protocols for reloading compiz or logging out, or rebooting.
[08:52] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Oh, ok, I will try that. Are you in Offtopic?
[08:52] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, not today I'm about to crash actually.
[08:52] <eso25> yes
[08:52] <eso25> gay

[08:53] <crille_> quit
[08:53] <seth> anyone know of a good doc on how to setup dual monitors for 11.4?
[08:53] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok thanks for the help. :D :D :D
[08:54] <dragondon> ikonia: file permissions now I am guessing.  -rw-r-r-- currently
[08:54] <VampsDaBeast> seth : what video card?
[08:54] <seth> 4 year old nvida
[08:55] <VampsDaBeast> seth : you should have in the Adminstrative menu Nvidia X server settings, just enable the second monitor. and setup with TwinView
[08:56] <dragondon> ikonia: 644 if I read that right.
[08:56] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, no problem, just run unity --reset after displex is installed and in the startup applications and reboot to the ubity desktop and follow the cube in unity Natty. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/

[09:00] <zetsu> hello guys i have problem with ubuntu 11.10
[09:00] <Gx4> sound great
[09:00] <zetsu> i have install vmware but i can't compile it
[09:01] <urlin2u> zetsu, Ubuntu+1 is the place. :D
[09:01] <zetsu> WHat ?
[09:01] <Gx4> hi, can anyone tell me how should I delete and redownload sources list file?
[09:01] <dragondon> what file permissions to scripts need?  is 644 ok?
[09:01] <blue_eyed_lady> hey, just installed ubuntu 11.04 and it is always freezing
[09:02] <urlin2u> zetsu, #ubuntu+1 is where that is discussed the development channel.
[09:02] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: sorry, I was just away for a minute
[09:02] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, not a prob
[09:02] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: so that confirms it is a shell script, so you need to walk through that shell script and find out what's causing it to fail
[09:02] <ikonia> dragondon: you need it to have the execute bit set, change it to 751
[09:03] <ikonia> dragondon: 754
[09:03] <blue_eyed_lady> was told i'd be able to get help here, please! :)
[09:03] <seth> did you bring pie and drinks?
[09:04] <new2net> seth: enough for everyone!
[09:04] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, im not sure i understand why i was able to install Hon and the updated Display drivers within 11.04 x64 yet 11.04 x86 is giving me fits.
[09:05] <sh00p> I'm using 9.10 (I know, its old but I need it) and I want the version of libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a that comes with 10.04, is there anyway to install it without upgrading the entire distro?
[09:05] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: there is something about your current system that the shell script doesn't like/expects different, you need to talk the shell script though and work out what's failing
[09:05] <ikonia> sh00p: no
[09:05] <timfrost> Gx4: you don't download it. /etc/apt/sources.list, and list files in /etc/apt/sources.list,d, are control files.  If /etc/sources.list is incorrect, edit it to correct the errors, then re-run 'sudo apt-get update'
[09:07] <timfrost> Gx4: what are you trying to do?
[09:07] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, wow.. that sounds like a bit of work
[09:08] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: exactly, hence why I said it's quite long winded to walk you through it
[09:08] <VampsDaBeast> espeailly for a new ubuntu/linux user
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> hey guys
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> I need some help with uninstalling Java
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> completely
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> and re-installing
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> im in package manager
[09:10] <shaibn> Hello everyone :) I managed to setup two video cards and three monitors on my Ubuntu 10.04. The only problem I have, is setting the correct brightness for each of these monitors (as they are all different from one another). In my NVIDIA X Server Settings, I can only set the X Screen 0 settings, which only effect the primary monitor, but non of the other monitors. Is there a solution for this?
[09:10] <xosuitehearts> and I've already uninstalled sun-java-jre
[09:10] <dragondon> ikonia: well, still not connecting.  any ideas where to look next?
[09:10] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, is it possible that something from my install cd or during install didnt copy correctly, or that the cd isnt properly burnt?
[09:10] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: no idea without working out why that script is failing
[09:11] <xosuitehearts> the only things left are default-jre-headless, default-jre, openjdk-6-jre-lib,openjdk-8-jre-headless
[09:11] <xosuitehearts> icedtea-6-jre
[09:11] <xosuitehearts> and icedtea-6-jre-cacao
[09:11] <xosuitehearts> do I remove those as well?
[09:12] <VampsDaBeast> xosuitehearts, if you know th epackages that need removed, open term and apt-get remove <package>
[09:12] <xosuitehearts> because accordingly I have to re-install sun-java for minecraft to work
[09:12] <xosuitehearts> VampsDaBeast thats the thing
[09:13] <xosuitehearts> I dont know what all I need to remove
[09:13] <ouyes> can any software make the character in the pdf file more clear?
[09:13] <xosuitehearts> to completely remove and reinstall java
[09:14] <Liam> hey
[09:14] <Liam> new to ubuntu
[09:14] <xosuitehearts> say I wanted to remove java via terminal
[09:14] <xosuitehearts> what would I do?
[09:14] <xosuitehearts> to remove it all,
[09:14] <Liam> wondered if any one could help me with grep?
[09:14] <xosuitehearts> then reinstall?
[09:14] <VampsDaBeast> xosuitehearts, someone correct me if im wrong here. maybe try dpkg-remove jre might work
[09:14] <Liam> sudo apt-get remove <PACKAGE NAME> --purge
[09:14] <Loqus> Maybe a question off topic - had anyone read the "Linux Device Drivers" 3rd edition book and tried to use the examples with the latest Ubuntu? I'm trying to use the example code, but the books example code is out of date by quite a bit and some of the features are deprecated... would you know where to find updated code for "scull"?
[09:14] <Liam> then apt-get install <pacakge name>
[09:15] <ikonia> Loqus: please keep offtopic questions out of the channel, try ##linux
[09:15] <Liam> any grep nerds in here?
[09:15] <xosuitehearts> Liam VampsDaBeast i know that, but how would I go about it without removing some needed runtimes?
[09:15] <VampsDaBeast> --purge.. thanks Liam.. forgot bout that
[09:15] <ikonia> Loqus: or contact o'reilly
[09:15] <xosuitehearts> whats the java package name?
[09:15] <timfrost> xosuitehearts: if you want to remove all traces, then yes you do need to remove all of them.  I suggest that you then exit package manager,then wait a short time and go back ito package manager and install the packages that you need.
[09:15] <Loqus> ^^Is theat question off topic?
[09:15] <Liam> --purge deletes config
[09:15] <ikonia> Loqus: yes, it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[09:15] <blue_eyed_lady> does anyone know anything about ubuntu 11.04 freezing randomly? Brand new computer..freezes even if only on for a few minutes
[09:16] <ikonia> blue_eyed_lady: is it hard locking (hit numlock on your keyboard, see if the lot goes on/off)
[09:16] <xosuitehearts> timburke in package manager would I remove the default jre along with the openjdk-6-lib, openjdk headless and icedtea jamvm?
[09:16] <tomeo> how long does memtest86 take usually?
[09:17] <Loqus> ...well, I'm tryign to compile and run it on Ubuntu, so it is something to do with it - but if what you mean is that "Anything which is Kernel or driver development isn't covered in this channel", then I understand.
[09:17] <ikonia> tomeo: depends, it will never end until you end it
[09:17] <ikonia> Loqus: it is nothing to do with ubuntu - you are not asking for how to do something in ubuntu, you are asking where to find something a book mentions
[09:17] <blue_eyed_lady> it freezes completely, can't change the numlock
[09:17] <ikonia> blue_eyed_lady: in those situations it is normally a hardware issue
[09:18] <blue_eyed_lady> the thing is, it didn't freeze before ubuntu was installed
[09:18] <xosuitehearts> okay guys, here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/153/synapticpackagemanager0.png/ <--- these are what I have installed
[09:19] <ikonia> blue_eyed_lady: that doesn't mean it's not a hardware issue, or a hardware incompatability with ubuntu
[09:19] <xosuitehearts> tell me if I should uninstall them to completely re-install java
[09:20] <tomeo> ikonia: it just keeps looping forever if I dont tell it to stop? so now that its been running for 8,5 hours and found no errors I can be pretty sure my memoery is working? :)
[09:20] <ikonia> tomeo: no
[09:20] <ikonia> tomeo: how many passes has it done (total complete passes)
[09:20] <blue_eyed_lady> Hmmm ok, thanks
[09:21] <tomeo> ikonia: 12
[09:21] <ikonia> tomeo: I'd say that's a pretty reasonable ammount to stop it
[09:21] <tomeo> okay thanks
[09:23] <dragondon> ikonia: so it shows that the port is listening, but my Win7 machine can't connect (worked before the firewall/iptables)  netstat result:http://pastebin.com/n01TBTUC
[09:25] <ikonia> dragondon: can we test this by taking down your firewall for a moment ?
[09:25] <dragondon> ikonia: sure, how to tell iptables to stop?
[09:25] <ikonia> dragondon: ok, do "sudo iptables -X
[09:25] <gregory_> service iptables stop
[09:26] <ikonia> gregory_: he's using a custom script
[09:26] <gregory_> aah okay
[09:26] <dragondon> ikonia: "iptables: Too many links."
[09:26] <ikonia> too many links ?
[09:26] <ikonia> dragondon: please do "which iptables"
[09:26] <dragondon> ikonia: <shrug> got me too
[09:27] <dragondon> ikonia: /sbin/iptables
[09:27] <ikonia> dragondon: sudo /sbin/iptables -X
[09:27] <subz3r0> Hi there. yesterday i've upgradet my ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04. Something went wrong, when I try not to boot it, it wont start anymore with kernel 2.6.38-11-generic, Its lvm crypted and dont asks me for my password, the screen stays purple, i can enter the pass and it tries to boot but hangs then after a while. When i use "previous ubuntu version" i can use exactly the same kernel and it stars without the problem. Could you tell me which logs are
[09:27] <subz3r0> needed for you guys to analyse what went wrong while the upgrade?!
[09:27] <subz3r0> "starts"
[09:28] <subz3r0> during the upgrade... i just woke up.. sorry for my bad english ;)
[09:28] <dragondon> ikonia: "iptables: Too many links." again
[09:28] <ikonia> dragondon: ls -la /sbin/iptables
[09:29] <dragondon> ikonia: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35068 2010-03-06 06:02 /sbin/iptables
[09:29] <ikonia> dragondon: ok, so it's the internals, not the binary
[09:30] <dragondon> ikonia: meaning?  a kernal problem/config issue?
[09:30] <ikonia> dragondon: sudo iptables -F
[09:30] <ikonia> dragondon: nah, no kernel issue, it's just how the rules are setup
[09:30] <broglin> I have manually patched mail-notification to fix a bug and instaslled the resulting package with dpkg -i. Now apt-get upgrade wants to replace my package with a new version with an apparently identical version number. How can I prevent that? apt-cache policy mail-notification output is here: http://pastebin.com/9AC1sxSH
[09:30] <corecode> hi
[09:30] <stealz> how do I change the settings in metacity?
[09:30] <ikonia> broglin: apt-policy - research apt pinning
[09:31] <corecode> do i have to do something special to get usb netowrking to work with networkmanager?
[09:31] <broglin> ikonia: yes, i have some vague idea about pinning. But what is confusing me is that apt-get wants to replace my package with a version with an identical number... is that expected?
[09:31] <ikonia> corecode: if the usb device is seen by the OS - network manager will list it as an available card
[09:31] <ikonia> broglin: yes, as that version comes from the repo
[09:31] <Gx4> timfrost I am not sure if my sources.list changed because of some program or smth, but apparently I get this when run sudo apt-get update http://pastebin.com/XyrxinWN
[09:31] <corecode> ikonia: well, it doesn't list it - but i can use ifconfig and dhclient on it
[09:32] <broglin> ikonia: oh, i see. thanks!
[09:32] <ikonia> corecode: look under all the tabls, it may be being seen as a wireless device
[09:32] <Myrtti> broglin: you have filed the patch upstream, right? :-)
[09:33] <corecode> the n900 shows up as broadband
[09:33] <corecode> but i don't want to do that, i want to do usb networking instead
[09:34] <dragondon> ikonia: completed , no comlaints :)
[09:34] <dragondon> ikonia: try remote desk again?

[09:41] <corecode> how do you tell network manager which devices it sould use?

[09:58] <ikonia> dragondon: ok - so thre is an issue here
[09:58] <ikonia> dragondon: 1.) you are using ubuntu firewall at the same time as your other firewall
[09:58] <ikonia> dragondon: stop that first
[09:58] <ikonia> dragondon: use either ubuntu firewall, or iptables from your script
[09:58] <somicuthbert> have you see what i post in your link
[09:58] <subz3r0> d0h!
[09:59] <subz3r0> just give us the links
[09:59] <somicuthbert> http://pastebin.com/qM4i9cHf
[09:59] <bonhoffer> can i diff -rq two directories one way?
[09:59] <ikonia> dragondon: try "sudo service ufw stop" (I don't know if that's the service name and can't check)
[09:59] <subz3r0> copy + paste, hit submit, enter the code. and give us the link
[09:59] <subz3r0> yehh
[09:59] <ikonia> bonhoffer: you can do files, not directories
[09:59] <dragondon> ikonia: ok, so I think I prefer iptables, but will try the service command
[09:59] <xfceuser> hello can anyone help me
[09:59] <ikonia> dragondon: the service command will stop ubuntu firewall, so you can use iptables
[09:59] <somicuthbert> yes
[10:00] <somicuthbert> this one  http://pastebin.com/y7CDzPrC
[10:00] <dragondon> ikonia: ufw stop/waiting
[10:00] <bonhoffer> ikonia: this works for me: diff -rq FitWit/config/ cba_fitwit/config/ | grep "Only in cba"
[10:01] <ikonia> bonhoffer: I didn't think that would work
[10:01] <somicuthbert> subz3r0 have see the link that after paste
[10:01] <somicuthbert> that one above
[10:01] <bonhoffer> ikonia: yeah -- pretty cool
[10:01] <pOkemOn_> how can I check my internal IP in ubuntu?
[10:01] <ikonia> bonhoffer: I wonder when that got updated to allow that
[10:01] <dragondon> ikonia: hey, rem dsktp is working again ;)
[10:01] <bonhoffer> no idea
[10:02] <ikonia> pOkemOn_: sudo ifconfig -a
[10:02] <ikonia> dragondon: ok - so we know it was the firewall blocking it
[10:02] <ikonia> dragondon: first thing, you need to disable ubuntu firewall from starting again
[10:02] <pOkemOn_> ikonia: a: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[10:02] <subz3r0> somicuthbert, where is the log of dmesg | grep DVB ?
[10:02] <subz3r0> dmesg | grep DVB
[10:02] <ikonia> pOkemOn_: exactly what command did you use
[10:03] <dragondon> ikonia: so, how to do that?
[10:03] <pOkemOn_> ikonia:  sry I forgot the -
[10:03] <dragondon> ikonia: sudo ufw disable?
[10:03] <ikonia> dragondon: I thiunk.... ahh, you got it
[10:03] <ikonia> dragondon: that was how I believe it is disabled
[10:04] <somicuthbert> subz3r0 i dont know the dmesg
[10:04] <somicuthbert> or grep DVB
[10:04] <subz3r0> ?
[10:04] <subz3r0> use it in a terminal too, paste the result
[10:04] <dragondon> ikonia: Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup
[10:04] <dragondon> ikonia: :)
[10:05] <ikonia> dragondon: great, so if you now run your firewall script and test it, we know that if it gets blocked its your firewall that's blocking it, rather than ubuntu's
[10:05] <somicuthbert> let me write those commands
[10:05] <subz3r0> just copy and paste: dmesg | grep DVB
[10:05] <subz3r0> to a terminal and hit enter
[10:06] <dragondon> ikonia: sweet, worked just fine :)  thanks tons dude!!
[10:06] <ikonia> dragondon: welcome
[10:06] <somicuthbert> yes i get dmesg
[10:06] <somicuthbert> where can  i paste
[10:06] <subz3r0> copy paste to pastbin and give us the link
[10:06] <somicuthbert> okay
[10:06] <dragondon> ikonia: now that I got a pattern to follow, I can allow other services....hey, bet my teamspeak server works now too :P

[10:09] <somicuthbert> okay subz3r0 the link for dmseg is this one   http://pastebin.com/75bNtwz5
[10:09] <ikonia> pOkemOn_: can't do that
[10:09] <ikonia> pOkemOn_: you need to setup a form of internet connection sharing, you can't just point at an ip
[10:09] <u4cse08050> bjahid, Check whether your system volume is not not muted
[10:09] <bjhaid> subz3r0: yes, well just fixed the .avi from something i saw online, changed the options for alsa, but for .mov i can hear sounds no video
[10:09] <pOkemOn_> ikonia: how can I share the connection. It is a pppoe connection

[10:18] <vibhav> ikonia - will Transmageddon work?
[10:18] <ikonia> vibhav: I have no idea what that application is
[10:19] <vibhav> never mind ikonia , im using mencoder
[10:19] <sh00p> anjay-hard,  how did you install lxde?
[10:19] <sh00p> i think the binary is called startlxde not startlubuntu
[10:20] <anjay-hard> apt-get install lxde
[10:20] <sh00p> check to see if you really have a startlubuntu file in /usr/bin
[10:20] <sh00p> also check if you have a file called startlxde
[10:20] <anjay-hard> checked
[10:20] <sh00p> well?
[10:20] <anjay-hard> has it
[10:20] <vibhav> ikonia ,can I PM you?
[10:20] <sh00p> startlubuntu?
[10:21] <ikonia> vibhav: is it about mencoder ?
[10:21] <vibhav> nope
[10:21] <ikonia> vibhav: ok.
[10:21] <anjay-hard> has a file called startlxde
[10:21] <sh00p> ok, so then you need to replace wherever it wants to execute startlubuntu with startlxde
[10:21] <skpl_> can someone help me? i can only get sound out of mpd, no sound in rhythmbox or movie player

[10:29] <somicuthbert> okay
[10:29] <ikonia> vibhav: out of interest, what options did you use with mencoder ?

[10:37] <BlueWolf> I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop, After the installation I installed Updates and a few programs. I installed Compiz and I ran it and activated the desktop cube and rotate cube. After I activated it my laptop went all funny and now there are no panels, just a plain desktop. So I rebooted and I'm in the classic side. How Do I get compiz to work in the Original 11.04 desktop?
[10:38] <djerry> :zHammeRz  Ok. any other method , softwares to monitor?
[10:40] <vibhav> ikonia - the conversion failed :(
[10:40] <vibhav> ikonia - i am using transmaggeddon
[10:40] <somicuthbert> subz3r0 am out for 30minutes then i will be back
[10:40] <subz3r0> somicuthbert, looks the the box is transparent, cant you read which chipset is used?
[10:41] <ikonia> vibhav: why did you say mencoder worked then ?
[10:41] <scarleo> djerry: darkstat, EtherApe or wireshark maybe?
[10:41] <ikonia> vibhav: what options did you use with mencoder ?
[10:41] <vibhav> ikonia - when it started to convert i thought it was working
[10:41] <ikonia> vibhav: what options did you use
[10:41] <vibhav> ikonia - never mind , i am using transmaggeddon
[10:41] <scarleo> djerry: or BandwithD
[10:41] <djerry> scarleo: Okay
[10:42] <ikonia> vibhav: I'm curious to which options you used, which did you pass it
[10:42] <scarleo> djerry: There's a ton of them here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html
[10:45] <djerry> ok
[10:46] <dori922> hey! i have an ubuntu server set up with Disk Quotas using "quota" + "quotatool" manaaging them with webmin, does anyone know any good guides to manage this by cmd line or any good alternatives?
[10:47] <icambridge> is There a way of setting the password for a user via a onliner?
[10:48] <jrib> icambridge: you mean "one-liner"?
[10:49] <alwaysready> Hi!
[10:49] <alwaysready> wake up guys LOL
[10:49] <alwaysready> wakeup *
[10:50] <jussi> Hi all, Is there an "alt-tab" style shortcut for switching chrome/chromium tabs?
[10:50] <scarleo> icambridge: passwd <username>
[10:50] <icambridge> scarleo, I would have to use multple new lines during stdin.
[10:51] <jrib> icambridge: so you are indeed looking for a one-liner?  You never answered me...
[10:51] <icambridge> jrib a command where I don't have to use stdin but I can pass the command arguments
[10:51] <jrib> icambridge: ok, why?  What is the purpose?
[10:52] <icambridge> A script that will automatically generate user accounts and random passwords
[10:53] <jrib> icambridge: one time thing in bulk or something you want to use regularly?
[10:53] <hallgeirg> is there a johnbge3 here? (email adress not nick)
[10:53] <icambridge> Something that is to be used regularly
[10:53] <schnoomac> is it possible to run deb and deb-src from the terminal ?
[10:54] <icambridge> schnoomac: what you mean? Like install packages from terminal?
[10:54] <jrib> icambridge: you can user useradd with the -p option.  To create the hashed password, use perl's crypt function.  Googling "useradd perl crypt" should give plenty of examples
[10:54] <scarleo> icambridge: usermod -p <encrypted_password> username, of course you would have to add users first. Is that what your looking for?
[10:54] <scarleo> jrib: sorry :)
[10:54] <icambridge> cheers guys
[10:54] <schnoomac> icambridge: add the software source through console instead of opening up the gui everytime.
[10:55] <fanzeyi> Hello, I meet some problem when i install the ubuntu 10.04.3.
[10:55] <MonkeyDust> !ask| fanzeyi
[10:56] <icambridge> schnoomac: yes, try using apt-get to install and apt-cache to search (or install aptitude if it isn't already)
[10:56] <jrib> icambridge: note that unlike adduser, useradd won't create a home directory by default and I believe it still sets login shells to dash by default, so you'll want to add relevant options
[10:57] <fanzeyi> I already have a fedora. when i install the ubuntu, i select an empty ext4 partition.
[10:57] <fanzeyi> but the /target is my fedora partition.
[10:58] <fanzeyi> the installation try to visit /target/****/gkus/status but cant find it.
[10:58] <fanzeyi> then the installation program crashed.
[11:00] <scarleo> Is there any way to add modified apparmor profiles that doesn't get overwritten every time app is updated?
[11:01] <jrib> scarleo: hmm, where are you adding them?
[11:01] <scarleo> /etc/apparmor.d/
[11:01]  * Betrayer I-NeT§olutions Administrator  Time [19:00]
[11:01] <jrib> scarleo: hmm, apt shouldn't be overwriting things in /etc/ without asking you first at least
[11:02] <scarleo> jrib: It is asking but when i.e. firefox is updated it needs to change version number and then my cutom adds gets overwritten
[11:02] <broglin> in evince, is it possible to drag the main vertical scrollbar on the right hand side when the window is maximized? The new scrollbar style seems to make this impossible.
[11:03] <scarleo> jrib: I would like to have something like a usr.bin.firefox.local that is read by standard profile where I can add my changes

[11:04] <arno__> anybody know how reload this one
[11:04] <broglin> i'm using xfce by the way
[11:05] <jrib> scarleo: the last three lines in the default apparmor profile for firefox look promising

[11:05] <MonkeyDust> Snicksie: try pkiill process
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> -i
[11:06] <scarleo> jrib: :) I'm just so blind sometimes, thanks a lot

[11:23] <Snicksie> nah, just too lazy :p i'd rather give it some coffee to do its work.... :p (once did by accident :p ) will be all right this way i guess... :p
[11:23] <vuln> It did work! Thank you guys
[11:24] <glebihan> Snicksie, it is impossible to kill a zombie process (unless you kill its parent)
[11:24] <xro> Hi, is there a port scanner in the ubuntu depot?  not nmap... i would like another one...
[11:25] <Eugenicist> What's wrong with Nmap?!
[11:25] <Eugenicist> Don't like the command line?
[11:25] <xro> Eugenicist, nop... i fact i get a wrong result... an open port and it is closed... i would like to check with another one
[11:26] <Eugenicist> Ahh
[11:26] <Snicksie> seems to have no parent, unless I just cant see it, glebihan :)
[11:26] <scarleo> jrib: Hmmm, wonder why aa-logprof doesn't modify the local/usr.bin.profile instead of the standard profile?
[11:26] <glebihan> Snicksie, it has a parent, that's for sure, but it may be init in which case you cannot kill it anyway
[11:27] <xro> so, no port scanner in the depot? (other than nmap)
[11:29] <somicuthbert> subz where are you
[11:30] <tanel> Hello! I was running badblocks within gnome-terminal (pts/1) on a 11.04 Live-CD. As I returned the screen had gone blank. I could still see and move my mouse pointer and also verify from TTY1 that the processes were still running. I hoped I could fix it by running x11vnc on DISPLAY :0.0 but all I can see in my VNC-sessions is the mouse pointer and blank surroundings. Is there a way to either a) reset :0.0 witout killing gnome-terminal, or b)
[11:31] <arno__> hi
[11:32] <SwedeMike> tanel: execute "sync" from the terminal, that has helped me in the past (there seems to be something funky with memory management under disk cache pressure in 2.6.38)
[11:32] <arno__> where can find a manager software installer
[11:32] <SwedeMike> tanel: I had to do "watch -n 10 sync" to keep things working.
[11:32] <arno__> ?K
[11:33] <tanel> SwedeMike: Thanks but no go, I ran sync from TTY1 as the ubuntu-user as well as super user.
[11:33] <SwedeMike> tanel: oki, worth a shot anyway.
[11:34] <jstoone> arno__: Do you mean a package manager?
[11:34] <tanel> SwedeMike: I suspect it's Intel gfx-driver related.
[11:34] <rigved> arno__: use the ubuntu software center
[11:34] <somicuthbert_> any one to help me
[11:34] <jstoone> arno__: In that case, use the one that comes with Ubuntu -> "Ubuntu Software Center"
[11:34] <_2B_> When Synaptic packet manager applies system changes it opens a info-dialog in front of other windows so I suddenly can't type (etc) anymore. It closes automatically but I prefer to keep it stayed in the background. How can I accomplish this ?
[11:34] <somicuthbert_> about  my tv tuner drivers

[11:36] <jstoone> arno__: Stop, spamming us please, be patient, if we don't answar we are looking for an answar or we don't know. Just wait.
[11:36] <vuln> it's Ubuntu 10.04.
[11:36] <Mr_Bond> Hi, I'm having issues with booting up ubuntu after moving data from one LVM to another. I ran the installer-cd into rescue-mode, installed grub with "grub-install", and created new initrd's with "update-initramfs -ck all". I've rebooted into the system, and ran "update-grub", which seems to produce a valid config. However, every time I boot I'm stuck at the grub command-line prompt, and I have to boot it manually.
[11:37] <Mr_Bond> If I set "root", "linux" and "initrd" parameteres at grub-prompt, then "boot", it works fine. But it won't start up by it self..
[11:37] <glebihan> vuln, if you're using grub2, there's no menu.lst anymore
[11:37] <Snicksie> are you sure thats not another grub-installation, that is being loaded?
[11:37] <glebihan> !grub2 | vuln
[11:38] <vuln> glebihan: it's grub2. Ty
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> vuln: menu.lst has been replaced by menu.cfg
[11:39] <optikkore> Hey I dunno if anyone can help me I have 4 1tb drives in raid 5 on a rosewill rc-217 raid card and when I go to the ubuntu-server install it sees the single drive but can read the partition or allow me to edit the partition
[11:39] <Mr_Bond> Snicksie: there is only one disk, but it could perhaps be installed into two locations on the same disk? (If you where replying to me?)
[11:39] <elfranne> i try to get the size of the last day file by doing this :  find  -mtime 1 | stat -c%s but i get  stat: missing operand any idea ?
[11:40] <jstoone> arno__: It's called gnome package manager - "sudo apt-get install gpm"
[11:40] <Snicksie> i was replying to you :p you could try another re-install of your grub into the MBR, you can find more information at the grub2 page : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[11:40] <vuln> So I ran 30_prob... and it found my other partition. Do I have to do anything else or it's already working?
[11:40] <jrib> elfranne: use xargs or -exec with find
[11:40] <Mr_Bond> Snicksie: thanks, I've done it a few times already though. Both via "grub-install", and by using "Fix grub"-thingie on the rescue-cd.
[11:40] <Mr_Bond> I'll try it again for good sake.
[11:41] <rigved> optikkore: the partition table of the raid system seems to be locked. is it possible to do this partitioning via the BIOS utility? i do not know as i have never tried it myself (hardware raid that is).
[11:42] <obert> i got two firefox here :P firefox& returns a browser without addons and ina diff lang while sudo firefox returns my own lang browser plus addons
[11:42] <obert> i doubt that is a normal beauvier,isnt it?
[11:42] <optikkore> rigved: The raid array is set up via bios configuration utility that is built in the card
[11:43] <glebihan> obert, that "firefox" and "sudo firefox" would load 2 different configurations is normal behavior as you're running as different users
[11:44] <obert> glebihan: so perhaps did i installed addons using sudo? but what about diff lang?
[11:44] <obert> same answer?
[11:45] <jayeola> is there a tool to convert flash/swf files to mpeg4 or avi? (mencoder, swftools, etc)
[11:45] <glebihan> obert, does the difference in languages only happen in firefox ?
[11:45] <obert> glebihan: cannot be sure but i assume yes
[11:45] <arno__> i have find "" just software-center" thx
[11:46] <n2i> May I let me explain my situation and ask you some question?
[11:46] <glebihan> jayeola, mencoder should do that just find, ffmpeg also
[11:46] <jayeola> THANKS
[11:46] <jayeola> doh - caps lock
[11:47] <n2i> I'm using a GSM connection. Some time via nm-applet and some time using wvdial.
[11:47] <n2i> The problem is, when I connect via nm-applet

[11:48] <n2i> pidgin can using the connection but not when I connect via using wvdial
[11:48] <n2i> What is this problem? and how to fix?
[11:48] <QJT> Hello. I installed bleachbit on Xubuntu 11.04 and I want to run it as root. I cannot find a way to run it as root. I tried looking though hidden menu items and i tried running root-bleachbit. Nothing works, could anyone help?
[11:49] <obert> glebihan: thanks.
[11:49] <glebihan> obert, you're welcome
[11:49] <singkong> hi
[11:50] <glebihan> QJT, have you tried "sudo bleachbit" ?
[11:50] <Smegzor> My main harddrive was about to die so I used gparted to copy the / partition to a new drive.  I had to copy my home partition manually due to errors on the disk.  My grub appears to be intact and the new drive identifies the same as the old drive, but when I boot up it tells me that /home is not ready.  What do I need to do to tell it that the partition that I copied manually is /home ?
[11:50] <singkong> i can't install wine on ubuntu 10.04
[11:51] <QJT> @glebihan yes I have tried "sudo bleachbit" but it just opens regular bleachbit
[11:51] <somicuthbert_> singkong try 10.10 its more efficient than 10.04
[11:51] <Smegzor> Looks like I need to edit fstab and change the UUID for /home ?
[11:52] <glebihan> QJT, what do you mean "regular" ? what do you expect to be different ?
[11:53] <Mr_Bond> Snicksie: Hm. I tried the "configfile (hdX,Y)/grub/grub.cfg" -thing, but that gives me the same error. Wondering if it is having problems with "insmod" some module..
[11:53] <obert> i dont feel to have pratice in ubuntu :P
[11:53] <singkong> can i upgrade 10.04 to 10.10 ?
[11:53] <Mr_Bond> Snicksie: same error, but after just a blank screen, not a "grub>" prompt
[11:53] <QJT> @ glebihan with regular bleachbit i cannot run as root, therefor i cannot delete certain files
[11:54] <glebihan> QJT, if you run it with sudo you will have those permissions
[11:54] <singkong> re install or what?
[11:55] <glebihan> QJT, also you should have a "BleachBit as Administrator" option in the menu : http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/documentation/faq
[11:55] <QJT> glebihan, thanks for your advice, i didn't realize i had those permisions. I will follow your advice!
[11:55] <Snicksie> hm, there is a GUI-tool to check sth more Mr_Bond, its https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[11:55] <glebihan> QJT, you're welcome
[12:00] <Mr_Bond> I think perhaps grub.cfg is corrupt. When I run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", I get these errors:
[12:00] <Mr_Bond> File descriptor 3 (pipe:[5718]) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 2813: /bin/sh
[12:02] <scarleo> singkong: in update manager settings you can change so not ony LTS releases are shown, then there will be an option to upgrade to 10.10 or even 11.04
[12:02] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I am trying to install ubuntu to microsoft virtual pc and it seemingly crashes
[12:03] <ToAruShiroiNeko> anyone had any sucess in getting ubuntu to work on virtual pc?
[12:03] <Mr_Bond> I copied /etc/grub.d from another machine, and it didn't give me such errors.
[12:03] <scarleo> ToAruShiroiNeko: Yes, in VirtualBox. Are you trying W8?
[12:05] <Mr_Bond> AAh, I see what is wrong. it's the "prefix=" in grub. Where do I change that?
[12:06] <remoteCTRL> is gnome 3 somehow available in natty?
[12:06] <jpds> remoteCTRL: sudo apt-get install gnome3-session ?

[12:11] <ToAruShiroiNeko> scarleo no trying ubuntu
[12:13] <scarleo> ToAruShiroiNeko: You said installing to microsoft virtual pc, is your host Windows 8?
[12:13] <scarleo> ToAruShiroiNeko: Or what is your host system?
[12:15] <remoteCTRL> scarleo: since when is windows 8 available??
[12:16] <scarleo> remoteCTRL: There is a Developer preview downloadable from here, since yesterday or so I think: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/home/
[12:16] <Mr_Bond> I think grub-install in ubuntu 10.04 is semi-broken. The "fix grub" option in the install cd dosn't do the right thing either.
[12:16] <remoteCTRL> scarleo: i see thanks for the info:)
[12:16] <Younder> Mr_Bond, It works for me
[12:16] <Mr_Bond> Younder: me too usually. But I'm getting it installed with the wrong "prefix" set in grub.
[12:16] <Younder> Mr_Bond, what's your machine config
[12:17] <Younder> Mr_Bond, the wrong prefix? Elaborate
[12:17] <Mr_Bond> Younder: I'm running in vmware. One ext2 /boot and ext4 / on LVM. I cloned this system from another server
[12:18] <scarleo> remoteCTRL: And it has a virtual pc, thats why I'm asking :)
[12:18] <Mr_Bond> Younder: after installing grub, "prefix" is set to (hd0,1)/boot/grub in grub-prompt. But the correct value would be (hd0,1)/grub
[12:19] <Mr_Bond> (since /boot is on a seperate partition, it has no /boot folder at the root)
[12:19] <Younder> Mr_Bond, /boot/grub is the standard location. why do you want to put it under /grub?
[12:20] <Mr_Bond> Younder: since "/boot" is a seperat partition, it is a folder on the "root" partition, not the "boot" partition
[12:20] <osse> Hi guys! I'm trying to use checkinstall to make a package. I've already run './configure' and 'make', but 'sudo checkinstall' fails because '/usr/bin/install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/local/share/man/man7': No such file or directory'
[12:20] <Mr_Bond> Younder: (hd0,1) is the boot partition, not the root-partition.

[12:21] <Younder> Mr_Bond, whye is there a root-partion
[12:21] <Mr_Bond> Younder: you need a root-partition to be able to run Linux
[12:21] <b3rz3rk3r> My 10.04 laptop is getting stuck at shutdown. I can hear the disk turn off, then it just sits there at the splash screen. Anyone else had this?
[12:21] <triunity> B3rz3rk3r, are you doing shutdown manually or via the gui?
[12:22] <Younder> Mr_Bond, yes, yes. but it is invariably also the boot partion. Except for you
[12:22] <triunity> (manual meaning terminal)
[12:22] <b3rz3rk3r> triunity, via GUI
[12:22] <Mr_Bond> Younder: so are you saying that having a seperate /boot partition is not supported?
[12:22] <remoteCTRL> scarleo: do you need to login in order to see that or is it gone already again or why cant i find it?
[12:22] <triunity> Hmmm
[12:23] <scarleo> triunity: /etc/rc0.d is for shutdown scripts
[12:23] <Younder> Mr_Bond, I am sying you are doing something the designeres never contemplated
[12:23] <triunity> Thanks scarleo!
[12:23] <dori922> hey! i have an ubuntu server set up with Disk Quotas using "quota" + "quotatool" manaaging them with webmin, does anyone know any good guides to manage this by cmd line or any good alternatives?
[12:23] <jpds> !webmin
[12:24] <Mr_Bond> Younder: then the designers are retarted. That has been a preferred way of doing it for many users for ages. It is also supposed to be supported by the install process, and works fine when configuring it under install.
[12:24] <scarleo> remoteCTRL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516 try that instead, no login
[12:24] <remoteCTRL> jpds: unfortunately: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/710171
[12:24] <b3rz3rk3r> triunity, i can hold a key down and that stimulates the shutdown seemingly, but its obviously not working correctly
[12:24] <Younder> Mr_Bond, that may be true.
[12:25] <remoteCTRL> scarleo: yap, that looks better, thanks!
[12:25] <Younder> Mr_Bond, but there you have it. Complain to Canonical.
[12:25] <Pici> Mr_Bond: I suggest you file a bug in the installer if you feel it is that much of a problem.
[12:26] <Mr_Bond> Younder: are you sure about this?
[12:27] <Mr_Bond> Pici: Hm, yeah I suppose. But the installer works fine when configured this way (even after reconfiguring grub)
[12:27] <Younder> Mr_Bond, I am now. This isn't my call though
[12:27] <b3rz3rk3r> My 10.04 laptop is getting stuck at shutdown. I can hear the disk turn off, then it just sits there at the splash screen. Anyone know how to fix this?
[12:28] <Hoyt> hi , how can i set up a screen edge for maximized window in Compiz ?
[12:28] <RobC0> I am running Ubuntu 10 LTS with Apache2 2.2.14 from the respository.  We would really like to upgrade to Apache 2.2.21 for security concerns.  Is there a package available somewhere that I could just apply?
[12:28] <Hoyt> like xfwm4 / openbox does , which set out a screen margin , for programs like conky
[12:28] <scarleo> b3rz3rk3r: How do you shut it off? Did you try different ways?
[12:28] <Mr_Bond> Younder: thanks for the input. I'm however not convinced that is the case.
[12:29] <Mr_Bond> Younder: but reporting the issue I'm experiencing is probably a good idea anyway.
[12:29] <Pici> RobC0: Fixes for the recent CVEs were patched into the versions that are in the repos.
[12:29] <b3rz3rk3r> scarleo, GUI freezes on splash, CLI seems to work with -h flag
[12:30] <Pici> RobC0: like:
[12:30] <upToTheRoof> Hello guys, i need to set my backtrack screen resolution to the maximum window on my dell 1564 laptop, any help with that ?
[12:30] <upToTheRoof> i tried fixvesa though
[12:30] <vibhav> b3rz3rk3r,  if CLI is working with -h flag , then you can startx , right?
[12:30] <Pici> RobC0: like: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-3192.html
[12:31] <RobC0> Pici, thanks.  I'll go read some more ;)
[12:31] <scarleo> b3rz3rk3r: did you make any changes when this started to happen?
[12:31] <vibhav> Does Linux Kernel 3.0 work in Natty?
[12:31] <upToTheRoof>  Hello guys, i need to set my backtrack screen resolution to the maximum window on my dell 1564 laptop, any help with that ?
[12:31] <rigved> backtrack | upToTheRoof
[12:31] <rigved> !backtrack | upToTheRoof
[12:32] <upToTheRoof> yeah
[12:32] <vibhav> Does Linux Kernel 3.0 work in Natty??
[12:32] <upToTheRoof> ubottu: thanks i'll see what i can do about that :)
[12:32] <b3rz3rk3r> scarleo, not that i can recall, its a recent install. I haven't configured any files, just installed a few programs.. last one i remember installing before it began was Deluge i think
[12:33] <upToTheRoof> it was working finebut not anymore
[12:33] <Pici> vibhav: work, maybe. supported, no.
[12:33] <upToTheRoof> ubottu : LOL
[12:33] <TrueColors> How do I disable Splash Screen in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[12:33] <Pici> upToTheRoof : We do not support backtrack here, please use their support channel at #backtrack-linux
[12:33] <TrueColors> classic view i'm in atm
[12:33] <DarkStar1> Hello guys I'm trying to setup tunneling through SSH for VNC client (from windows using tightvnc) I think I've done everything but everytime I connect the connection is closed straight away. Any ideas as to why this might be?
[12:33] <upToTheRoof> OK
[12:34] <Mr_Bond> I'll install grub on /root instead, and see if that works then.
[12:34] <TrueColors> I've read a post saying you're suppose to go into /etc/default/grub and comment out the quiet splash line.
[12:34] <TrueColors> but it's readonly
[12:34] <scarleo> b3rz3rk3r: I don't have Deluge, maybe it's keeping it alive somehow or failing to shutdown. Try to uninstall Deluge and maybe reinstall gnome-power-manager.
[12:34] <squig> this is a no acronym channel, all acronyms must be expanded no on mention GNU
[12:34] <CrunchyBullet> Hi all, can someone help me to uninstall ubuntu 11 and reinstall winxp? I seem to get an error saying boot manager isn't present. It isn't a dual boot so I cant get around it that way
[12:35] <awaad> How can I detect if my processor is AMD or Intel ?
[12:35] <b3rz3rk3r> scarleo, where are the logs kept for the system shutdown sequence?
[12:35] <awaad> How can I detect if my processor is AMD or Intel ?
[12:36] <scarleo> b3rz3rk3r: All logs are in /var/log/
[12:36] <Pici> awaad: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[12:37] <b3rz3rk3r> scarleo, thanks. il have a look in there first before i go reinstalling things
[12:37] <awaad> Pici: Thanks a lot
[12:37] <triunity> Hey anyone have a recommended program for reading the log files?
[12:37] <rigved> CrunchyBullet: just format the whole drive. ask in ##windows for help relating to windows. just make sure that you have made all backups of your softwares
[12:37] <rigved> and data
[12:38] <RobC0> Pici:  The article you gave me worked out wonderfully. thanks!
[12:38] <Pici> RobC0: great!~

[12:39] <Nasr20112011> Hello every body , my asus f5r with ubuntu 11.04 installed freezes when i remove AC power supply .It continue to work well for a while then it's completely freeze.
[12:39] <pratz> hey guys how can i find which smtp server is running on my machine ??
[12:40] <upToTheRoof> Hi, i'm trying to set my resolution to the maximum, my laptop is dell 1564 and i already used fixvesa but it didn't  work, any help with that
[12:40] <triunity> Thanks for the sugestions
[12:40] <Younder> upToTheRoof, a NVIDEA card perhaps?
[12:40] <upToTheRoof> ATI
[12:41] <upToTheRoof> younder: it was working just fine before
[12:42] <Younder> upToTheRoof, did you try fix-vesa?
[12:42] <DarkStar1> If I need to setup vnc tunnelling through SSH I don't need to touch anything with the SSH sever config do I ?
[12:42] <upToTheRoof> younder: yes
[12:42] <triunity> Wow, ok, i need to do some reading on multitail.  That just wasn't what i was expecting
[12:43] <Younder> upToTheRoof, so you have a ATI Radeon HD 4330
[12:43] <upToTheRoof>        \
[12:43] <Younder> ad a i3
[12:44] <upToTheRoof> younder: correct
[12:44] <Younder> upToTheRoof, well it seems due to your new hardware there are a lot of bugs
[12:45] <Younder> upToTheRoof, they are being worked on
[12:45] <upToTheRoof> i'm using virtual pc to run it too
[12:45] <pratz> hey guys how can i find which smtp server is running on my os ??
[12:45] <upToTheRoof> younder: on windows 7 ultimate if that helps
[12:46] <Mr_Bond> Younder: I get the same error when I try without a seperate boot partition (I copied files from /boot), then I removed the filesystem on it, and set the "/"-partition to boot in "parted", then I did "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", and then "grub-install /dev/sda" and "update-grub". I noticed grub produced new grub.cfg which refers to the lvm-root as root-volume.
[12:46] <upToTheRoof> younder: thank you, i'll wait :)
[12:47] <Pici> upToTheRoof: virtualpc is not the best virtual machine software to run things under.  You're not likely to find much support for running Linux under it.
[12:47] <pratz> hey guys can i know which smtp server my os is running ??
[12:47] <pratz> is it ps -all ??
[12:47] <Pici> pratz: one way: sudo netstat -tanp | grep ':25'
[12:47] <upToTheRoof> what about virty
[12:47] <upToTheRoof> virtualbox*
[12:47] <Nasr20112011> Hello every body , my asus f5r with ubuntu 11.04 installed freezes when i remove AC power supply .It continue to work well for a while then it's completely freeze.
[12:47] <Pici> upToTheRoof: virtualbox and vmware are usually both fine.
[12:47] <Polah> pratz: That would probably show if it was running. Or service --status-all to list active services
[12:48] <Singham> !virtualbox | upToTheRoof
[12:49] <Nasr20112011> Hello every body , my asus f5r with ubuntu 11.04 installed freezes when i remove AC power supply .It continue to work well for a while then it's completely freeze.

[12:50] <Polah> I'm currently installing from the mini iso on a VM, is installing GRUB required?
[12:50] <pratz> Polah: but when did not this worked sudo netstat -tanp | grep ':25'

[13:13] <arno> hi
[13:13] <Guest16037> i search to add libreoffice in software-center library
[13:14] <Guest30893> does any one knows how to use BeEF ??
[13:14] <Polah> Nighthwk: You can use dd to create an image of your drive and then use dd again to write that image to your drive when needed. Obviously back the image up elsewhere
[13:15] <Nighthwk> ok thanks Polah
[13:15] <Polah> Guest16037: Yes, and what's the problem?
[13:15] <Nighthwk> Polah, so basically to restore I reinstall ubuntu and then dd the image correct?
[13:15] <Polah> Guest30893: Just ask your question and someone will help you if they know.
[13:15] <coz_> !backup
[13:16] <Guest30893> does any one knows how to use BeEF ??
[13:16] <rebba> just cut it up and eat?
[13:16] <Polah> Nighthwk: No, you take the image and store it elsewhere then you can just boot a LiveCD alongside whatever device you have the image on and then dd it onto your drive. Imaging with dd will take a bit-by-bit image of all the data on your drive, not just installed programs
[13:16] <hop> how udapte the software center list to have other progragram like skype ... ?
[13:17] <hop> and the last libreoffice$

If I put a dot before this file then it becomes - ".autorun.inf" and it does not work. OR How to put a custom icon to the drives and folders? Either way my problem will be solved.
[13:21] <Celso> well i have 2 gpus (ati and intel) and would like to prevent ati from turning on.
[13:21] <Celso> sommeone told-me that blacklisting ati modules would do

[13:24] <Cube``> hey guys, for some reason, when using the gnome-terminal, the monaco font won't show the € sign, even though it contains it (as seen in other programs)
[13:25] <Celso> yep. acer 3820tg but i want to shut down ati without using vgaswitcheroo
[13:25] <dr_willis> gulzar:  no one ever notices it  :)
 there is a software for win to handle linux entires... and in case of linux you only need to refresh the boot menu
[13:25] <dr_willis> Celso:  you have to use special tools.
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> daavis: windoze will overwrite grub
 ya... its amazing and so simple
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> daavis: windoze will overwrite grub, you will have to repair it
[13:26] <Celso> special tools?
[13:26] <Singham> daavis : If installing both windows and ubuntu..i would suggest you to 1st install windows.
[13:26] <dr_willis> !optimus
[13:26] <bastidrazor> !prime
[13:26] <daavis> damn.. i allready have ubuntu

[13:27] <bastidrazor> daavis: you can still install windows. it will just take a few extra steps to get thigns working correctly.
[13:27] <dr_willis> daavis:  make a ysb flash that can boot the system . makes it easier to reztore grub
[13:27] <dr_willis> usb flash . a little one can work

[13:36] <Eric___> @PaulLiu
[13:37] <benoliver999> hop: You have no sound anywhere?
[13:37] <hoverbear> hop: That's really non-specific. Is your entire sound system down? Just skype?
[13:37] <haha_gu> hello?
[13:37] <hop> the flashh ???
[13:38] <hoverbear> haha_gu: Hi. :) THere are always people on your channel, please just hi and ask your question
[13:38] <haha_gu> how to remove grub if i only have ubuntu in this computer?
[13:38] <hoverbear> haha_gu: Ubuntu needs grub
[13:38] <benoliver999> hop: I'm sorry, that doesn't really make sense. What were you saying about skype?
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> haha_gu: set the pause to 0
[13:38] <benoliver999> haha_gu: You can't.
[13:38] <hoverbear> haha_gu: It's like window's BCD. You need a bootloader on the first few kb of your HDD to tell it where to look to start your system
[13:39] <benoliver999> haha_gu: Listen to MonkeyDust.
[13:39] <hoverbear> Yup
[13:39] <haha_gu> but this annoying purple grub only show when i boot my computer
[13:39] <MonkeyDust> haha_gu: grub also contains 'recovery mode', you may need that, too
[13:39] <benoliver999> haha: You can tell it to load ASAP.
[13:39] <haha_gu> but why my grub always blank?
[13:39] <Drecondius> Hello

[13:40] <Drum> hi guys. can anyone help me with postfix. postfix returns the DSM but I need the message ID and perhaps queue ID to display. Is that part of maildrop or postfix?
[13:40] <hoverbear> haha_gu: Unless you're getting a menu to select a boot option then what you're seeing is part of the normal startup of every machine
[13:40] <Drecondius> Can someone help me with a broken package issue?
[13:40] <bastidrazor> Drum: #postfix may be a better channel
[13:40] <haha_gu> but the grub menu doesnt have anything in there..
[13:40] <Drum> thank you
[13:40] <hoverbear> Drecondius: It'd help if you said which package. :)
[13:40] <benoliver999> haha_gu: How long do you have to wait?

[13:44] <solofight> people i am in a situation to switch between two ip constantly. i have only ssh access. so is there any good console based network manager which i can use to solve this ? or i can utilize iwconfig itself ?
[13:44] <benoliver999> haha_gu: do you want me to take you through changing the waiting time to 0?

[13:45] <jasonlfunk> Anyone have any experience with upstart? I inherited a machine that I'm trying to "reverse engineer" and the docs I have say some scripts are started via upstart. How do I look at what is being started via upstart?
[13:45] <hoverbear> solofight: wicd has a console client that after you can setuip you can run as a daemon.
[13:45] <haha_gu> benoliver999: okay, if that can make my booting time faster
[13:45] <jrib> !upstart | jasonlfunk
[13:46] <dumper> hey can anyone suggest me good mac transformation packages for ubuntu
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> dumper: macbuntu
[13:46] <hoverbear> dumper: Take a look at macbuntu they might have a suggested list somewere
[13:46] <haha_gu> benoliver999: how to do it?
[13:46] <Drecondius> other than my graphic drivers and system update it's a fresh install
[13:46] <benoliver999> haha_gu: I pm'd you
[13:46] <jasonlfunk> jrib: been there…. didn't help. Thanks though.
[13:47] <dumper> MonkeyDust: but I think it is not for 11.04
[13:47] <jrib> jasonlfunk: the scripts reside in /etc/init.  You can interact with services using the "service" command as well as initctl.  « man initctl » is probably very helpful, especially the "status" command.  I don't see how the upstart docs cannot be helpful...
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> dumper: i've used macbuntu for a while, it did work
[13:47] <|Justm3|> hey um can i have some help? all of a sudden, my computer starting popping up error messages about the ubuntu software center needing a fix? i had tried installing mailutils, and when it stopped and wouldnt install, i removed the .deb from /var/cache/apt/archives. it then ALMOST installed from the software center, then said there were some issues with it. it said the update manager had to do a repair for the software center, but the repair
[13:47] <|Justm3|> keeps failing. help please?
[13:47] <dumper> MonkeyDust: I am using 11.04
[13:47] <jasonlfunk> jrib: Maybe it's because this machine isn't actually using it or something. I don't have an /etc/init directory. I checked there.
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> dumper: macbutu
[13:48] <dumper> MonkeyDust: So u have tried it on 11.04
[13:48] <jrib> jasonlfunk: what ubuntu version?
[13:48] <TBotNik> All: Still fighting my network nightmare.  Please see last entry at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11253699 and give me your feedback, so I can get out of my misery.  Thanks!
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> dumper: macbuntu should work
[13:48] <jasonlfunk> jrib: Hardy
[13:48] <jasonlfunk> jirb: it's possible that the docs are wrong
[13:48] <|Justm3|> oh, iam using ubuntu 11.04, and i ALSO had removed the lock file from the /var/cache/.....
[13:48] <jrib> jasonlfunk: they used to reside in /etc/event or /etc/event.d, can't recall
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> hardy!
[13:48] <dumper> MonkeyDust: fine thanks man
[13:48] <jasonlfunk> event.d, perfect
[13:49] <Drecondius> i assume this is what I'm supposed to do.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/690008/
[13:49] <hoverbear> TBotNik: You can probably still manually engage a connection with iwconfig and wpa_supplicant. I have to go for a while but check out the docs (Specifically the arch linux docs) it's kind of a pain to set up but it will get you out of the jam. Alternatively you can get the packages from antoher computer and just instlal them that way.
[13:49] <jasonlfunk> jrib: I'm trying to understand how it all works on Hardy and then going to move it over to Natty
[13:50] <oCean> Drecondius: indeed, that's how we like it, thanks!
[13:50] <|Justm3|> help??
[13:50] <jrib> jasonlfunk: ok
[13:50] <Drecondius> it's still a learning process
[13:50] <jrib> jasonlfunk: you can probably just search /etc/event.d for files that don't belong to any packages
[13:50] <Drecondius> i couldn't find anything in the forums after a 2 hour search so i came here
[13:50] <Dollz> hoverbear: running libtoolize did the trick
[13:51] <jrib> jasonlfunk: there's also #upstart where you can ask about any potential migration issues
[13:53] <Drecondius> I see where it says the compressed data is corrupt but ...
[13:53] <oCean> Drecondius: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu is where bugs are gathered. Searching for your issue, there are lots of related and duplicate bugs
[13:54] <solofight> hoverbear, with the default network manager i cannot do ?

[14:02] <|Justm3|> hey, can someone please tell me what this error message means? and how to fix it? http://pastebin.com/ZTbFi4ED
[14:02] <bastidrazor> Dollz_: its quite easy to do if you put in just moderate effort.
[14:02] <solofight> how to change ip address of the network connection using terminal ?
[14:03] <Dollz_> bastidrazor: you can work in that part time if you want

[14:07] <crowbar> |Justm3|: you have another program open trying to make a change to the package system I think.
[14:07] <TBotNik> all:  I've been asking the same Q for 3 weeks now and never a response on the Q.  Get some chatter but that is all.
[14:07] <|Justm3|> crowbar: ah. would a restart help fix it?
[14:08] <junior_> Hello
[14:08] <xangua> !attitude
[14:08] <xangua> and with that attitude even less TBotNik
[14:08] <jrib> TBotNik: this is not helpful.  Please stick to your question
[14:08] <crowbar> |Justm3|: Almost certainly (if I'm right about the cause) but that shouldn't be necessary.  Do you have a package manager open?  Maybe the ubuntu store?  if you close anything that has to do with software the issue should resolve without needing a reboot.
[14:09] <TBotNik> All: Repeating: Still fighting my network nightmare.  Please see last entry at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11253699 and give me your feedback, so I can get out of my misery.  Thanks!

[14:16] <CoJaBo> zykotick9: Yep, it was totem. Thanks.
[14:16] <crowbar> |Justm3|: rebooting is like surrendering :P  but why waste more time?  If you've got a minute, bounce the machine and if it comes up fixed wash your hands of it
[14:16] <zoqaeski> I thought that was for AMD systems
[14:16] <|Justm3|> bounce the machine?
[14:16] <xangua> zoqaeski: amd64 is just a generic name
[14:16] <zoqaeski> Ah

[14:19] <benoliver999> Why would the grub timer still take 5 seconds when the settings are changed to this now http://pastebin.com/2BWfMhGa ?
[14:20] <TBotNik> jrib: Well I do.  I've asked this Q over 30 different ways.  Ask in morning, evening, late night, knowing different people are on at diff times, but nothing.  I know I'm dealing with advanced and "non-standard" issues, but gee! at least an "I dunno" answer once in a while would be refreshing.
[14:20] <tantris> ok I found out I was missing a package I previously had installed (desktopcouch-ubuntuone) but now I get errors like: db_not_found, https://couchdb.one.ubuntu.com/...?

[14:21] <benoliver999> AH

[14:23] <jrib> TBotNik: I understand it's frustrating to have a problem and get no help, but we do not purposely ignore you.  I gave you suggestions on how to get more eyes looking at your problem in this channel.  That in addition to using other support channels such as the forums (which you have done), askubuntu, questions on launchpad, the mailing list and bugs.ubuntu.com (if you believe it is a bug) is the only thing I
[14:23] <jrib> can suggest.  Now let's move on please...
[14:24] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: the grub menu had shown the ubuntu and memtest but the plain purple thing still slowing my boot..
[14:24] <benoliver999> GOMI: It was just about pastebin, I think you got the idea...
[14:24] <GOMI> benoliver999,  yes got it :p
[14:24] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: does this is normal ?
[14:25] <benoliver999> haha_guyz: How long is it?
[14:25] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: not 1 sec for sure
[14:25] <benoliver999> haha_guys: Do you see a timer?
[14:26] <sivakumar> i cant able to see my close,minimize buttons for my firefox web browser i am using alt+f4 to close the window...can anyone fix it
[14:26] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: i mean the grub menu with ubuntu partition and memtest is 1 sec..
[14:26] <benoliver999> haha_guys: So long as you ran sudo update-grub there's not much else you can do I'm afraid.
[14:26] <raviepic3> people when i use the default network manager of ubuntu and create multiple network connections, where does it get stored ?
[14:27] <raviepic3> can i access the file directly and change ip ?
[14:27] <Corrupted> ok, how do I change what user smbd is running as?
[14:27] <benoliver999> haha_guys: Have you tried the 'suspend' feature? It's way quicker than a full reboot all the time.
[14:27] <hop> hi
[14:27] <xangua> sivakumar: tried to restore unity setting¿ unity --reset
[14:28] <crowbar> TBotNik: I read through your posts and can only say you might want to try a fresh install of ubuntu.  you've been changing lots of stuff to try and make the system work and you seem to have broken NetworkManager at this point which you are using to get wireless working.
[14:31] <sivakumar> xangua ho to
[14:31] <sivakumar> do it
[14:31] <Corrupted> how do I change what system user a start-scripted daemon (smbd) is running as?

[14:35] <sivakumar> Xangua,how to reset it

[14:59] <GOMI> http://paste.ubuntu.com/690031/   does this mean i got it installed
[14:59] <famine> how can I have mutter start with gnome3 automatically?
[15:00] <sam_uk> is there a apt-get log somewhere?
[15:00] <Pici> sam_uk: check the timings in /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/history.log
[15:01] <sam_uk> OK thanks
[15:02] <Targen> is there a command to ask the package manager for possible names of packages that may have a command by a certain name?
[15:02] <sam_uk> cat: /var/log/apt/history.log: No such file or directory
[15:02] <Targen> i'm trying to figure out what package has the "compress" program.
[15:02] <oCean> Targen: apt-file shows files in packages, that's probably what you want
[15:03] <Targen> oCean: thanks.
[15:03] <famine> how can I have mutter start with gnome3 when I login? im new to ubuntu/graphical logins, in the past id just add 'exec mutter' to my .xinitrc
[15:03] <famine> how do I do that in ubuntu?
[15:04] <xangua> famine: gnome3 is not currently supported
[15:04] <famine> so that means no one can answer my question?
[15:04] <famine> it seems like a simple question
[15:04] <bastidrazor> famine: you should ask in a channel that has gnome 3.
[15:04] <oCean> famine: maybe someone can answer how it's done in gnome2, but no guarantees it's the same in 3
[15:06] <erik_1984> 11.04 is built on Gnome2. I think you are refering to Gnome Shell.
[15:06] <shabbaranks> hi all
[15:07] <shabbaranks> Ive accidently changed ownership of www folder - can anyone tell me how I change it back to root please?
[15:07] <Targen> shabbaranks: man chown
[15:07] <mndo> hi! what is the right procedure to update a deb file with the latest upstream version?
[15:08] <bastidrazor> mndo: wait for it to be released in the repository.
[15:08] <mndo> apt-source + uupdate + dpkg-buildpackage is failing on me
[15:09] <mang0> .net
[15:09] <mndo> bastidrazor, that's not an option, i need the bugfixes and features of the new version
[15:10] <shabbaranks> I get operation not permitted
[15:10] <bastidrazor> shabbaranks: prepend with sudo
[15:10] <shabbaranks> if I do char -hR root /var/www
[15:10] <bullgard4> The file /tmp/strace.log will be deleted if I shut down this computer and cold-start it, won't it?
[15:10] <shabbaranks> ok
[15:13] <das_Ding> any ideas about a good quick and dirty irc bot?
[15:15] <Pici> das_Ding: supybot, eggdrop, rbot, phenny etc.
[15:15] <t0m_> hi quick question about the
[15:15] <t0m_> oneiric ocelot beta
[15:15] <xangua> !oneiric | t0m_
[15:15] <t0m_> right thanks, i'll head over there
[15:16] <adamix> does anyone know open-source alternatives to steam/desura?
[15:17] <JooseyJay_> playdeb.net kind of
[15:17] <sosoos> hi, all.
[15:18] <ikonia> adamix: there isn't one, steam only communicates with steam
[15:19] <mang0> Hm. Command to list connected drives?
[15:20] <mang0> I've gotta 500gb external drive, not showing up :/
[15:20] <bastidrazor> mang0: mount  will list partitions
[15:21] <JooseyJay_>  adamix: did you want to just know where to get games or how to play steam games
[15:21] <bethany> how can i modify the motd and permintally remove some information from it
[15:21] <MK`> I was just scrolling down a text document when my gnome panel theme suddenly reset to the GTK+ default theme. Has this happened to anyone else before?
[15:22] <bullgard4> The file /tmp/strace.log will be deleted if I shut down this computer and cold-start it, won't it?
[15:22] <ikonia> bullgard4: should be
[15:23] <Hedgehog456> Are there any package managers for Ubuntu that allow me to sort my installed packages by size?
[15:23] <SDr> hi guys
[15:23] <bullgard4> ikonia: Thank you.
[15:23] <SDr> which package contains the mail command line utility?
[15:23] <bullgard4> SDr: There are more than one utilities.
[15:23] <Hedgehog456> SDr: I think if you type it the command in the terminal it tells you the package
[15:24] <famine> how do I manually install a .deb file? sorry im new to ubuntu/debian based distros
[15:24] <SDr> Hedgehog456, nope: -bash: mail: command not found
[15:24] <knows> hello!
[15:24] <SDr> bullgard4, that's okay, can you name a good one?
[15:24] <bullgard4> SDr: Evolution is the best.
[15:24] <mang0> famine: Download it, then double click it.
[15:24] <ikonia> bullgard4: that doesn't not contain the "mail" command
[15:24] <ztrek7> why can't I get this to work http://lifehacker.com/5840450/add-a-handy-separator-between-commands-in-your-terminal-on-mac-os-x-and-linux
[15:24] <elfranne> famine, server or desktop ?
[15:24] <SDr> also, looking for command line
[15:25] <ztrek7> and yes I am doing the linux one
[15:25] <SDr> something I can deploy on a server
[15:25] <Hedgehog456> SDr: well for me it seems to be bsd-mailx
[15:25] <ikonia> SDr: the mail command is normally provide by mta software, if that's exim/postfix/sendmail, they normally create a link to their own tool referencing the mail command
[15:25] <ztrek7> the .bash_ps1 exists
[15:25] <ztrek7> and modified the .bashrc
[15:25] <compdoc> SDr, I think is called mailutils
[15:26] <mang0> Okay, so i've got a 500gb external HDD from a friend, but it's not showing up in ubuntu or "mount"
[15:26] <knows> my usb drive glows continuously but doesn't open,what can be the problem
[15:26] <ztrek7> maybe I should ask like this, If anyone wants to help me modify my shell, pm me
[15:26] <compdoc> SDr, sudo apt-get install mailutils
[15:27] <ikonia> ztrek7: please don't ask for help in pm - the purpose of the channel is to help you...in the channel
[15:27] <ztrek7> ah
[15:27] <nitstorm> mang0: does it show up in lsusb?
[15:27] <knows> how to recover data from corrupted usb drive?
[15:27] <ikonia> knows: how is it corrupted
[15:27] <SDr> compdoc, many thanks.
[15:28] <ztrek7> ty ikonia
[15:28] <ztrek7> anyone care to help me modify my shell?
[15:28] <knows> ikonia:when i plug it in it just glows but doesn't mount
[15:28] <ztrek7> following a lifehacker guide, i am at a no go
[15:28] <mang0> nitstorm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690076/
[15:28] <ztrek7> everything looks fine to me
[15:29] <ikonia> knows: that's not corrupted
[15:29] <ikonia> knows: that's just not mounted
[15:29] <knows> so how can i mount it anyway?
[15:29] <ikonia> knows: have you tried to manually mount it
[15:29] <nitstorm> mang0: output of mount -l please?
[15:29] <scriptx> is there no longer an ubuntu remix being updated?
[15:30] <ikonia> scriptx: what ?
[15:30] <knows> yes but i got nothing when i did 'tail /var/log/syslog'
[15:30] <mang0> nitstorm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690077/
[15:30] <knows> i'm running ubuntu 11.04 so no /var/log/messages
[15:30] <ikonia> knows: why are you doing that ?
[15:30] <knows> then how come i know which device to mount?
[15:30] <scriptx> ikonia: all the downloads for ubuntu remix i am coming across are for 9.x, not the latest 11.04
[15:31] <nitstorm> knows: do a fdisk -l , see which device the USB is , then sudo mount /dev/xxx /media/yyy where xxx is the thing that you saw corresponding to your device in fdisk -l and yyy being the directory you want to mount to
[15:31] <ikonia> scriptx: ubuntu remix isn't an ubuntu build (official) as far as I'm aware
[15:31] <knows> ok,i'm gonna try it now:)
[15:32] <nitstorm> mang0: can you do a fdisk -l and check if your hard-drive is infact called /dev/sdd1 ?
[15:32] <scriptx> According to Canonical, "The introduction of the new shell for Ubuntu means that we have a user interface that works equally well whatever the form factor of the PC. And the underlying technology works on a range of architectures including those common in netbook, notebooks, desktops or whatever you choose to run it on. Hence the need for a separate version for netbooks is removed"
[15:32] <ikonia> scriptx: what is your actual question ?
[15:32] <scriptx> i'm obviously looking to install ubuntu onto a netbook :)
[15:32] <h00k> scriptx: there was 9.10 'Ubuntu Netbook Remix,' but that is now end-of-life
[15:32] <knows> i got nothing when i did fdisk -l
[15:32] <ikonia> scriptx: ok, so what's stopping you
[15:33] <scriptx> wasn't sure installing the i386 desktop image was now the right course.
[15:33] <puff> Is there a better channel for video driver issues?  Anybody home?  I've got a thinkpad t520 with nvidia & optimus running ubuntu 10.4 LTS.  Suspend doesn't work; it appears to suspend and appears to resume but the screen doesn't turn on.  Various googling suggests that this is due to the video chipset not being well supported, but I've tried a bunch of different BIOs combinatons and haven't yet gotten it to suspend/resume properly.
[15:33] <nitstorm> knows: sudo fdisk -l
[15:33] <ikonia> knows: sudo fdisk -l
[15:33] <scriptx> since there had previously been images specifically for netbooks.
[15:33] <mang0> nitstorm: sure, doing now. :)
[15:33] <ikonia> scriptx: it's fine
[15:33] <scriptx> ikonia: it is now.
[15:33] <ikonia> scriptx: so what are you asking/what is your question
[15:33] <scriptx> ikonia:  i am good now.  thank you.
[15:34] <nitstorm> mang0: cool, keep me posted..
[15:34] <mang0> nitstorm: yes, it's sdd1
[15:34] <ikonia> scriptx: ok, so don't post random essays quoting canonical
[15:34] <scriptx> lol.. ok.
[15:34] <nitstorm> mang0: i am guessing you use Ubuntu and not kubuntu or xubuntu correct?
[15:34] <mang0> nitstorm: yes, correct
[15:35] <nitstorm> mang0: Open a terminal and type nautilus /mnt/HDD2/
[15:35] <DarkStar1> hi. Anyone know a channel I can go to for help on ssh tunnelling?
[15:35] <knows> what is this "/dev/sda2            1993       19457   140287550+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)"
[15:36] <mang0> nitstorm: The external isn't HDD2. I have two internals, one with the installation (sdd1) and the other is storage (HDD2)
[15:36] <knows> i did 'sudo fdisk -l'
[15:36] <ikonia> knows: that is a dos/windows partition
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> knows: type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the outcome here
[15:37] <knows> when i try to mount this it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[15:37] <DarkStar1> anyone? Or can someone help me with my issue?
[15:37] <nitstorm> mang0: the /dev/sdd1 is mounted onto /mnt/HDD2  - so the internal drive is getting mounted at /mnt/HDD2 if I understand correctly
[15:38] <nitstorm> !mount | knows
[15:38] <mang0> nitstorm: I have 2 internal drives. One is mounted at /mnt/hdd2 and I'm not sure about the other one. /dev/sdd1 I spose
[15:38] <knows> http://paste.ubuntu.com/690080/
[15:38] <knows> check that out
[15:39] <magmatt> I'd like to install postgres 8.4.4 on Natty... how can I do that?
[15:39] <nitstorm> mang0: the device /dev/sdd1 is being mounted on /mnt/HDD2, it's the one and the same. /dev/xxx is the device id connected and /mnt/yyy is the place where the device is getting mounted to
[15:39] <nitstorm> mang0: could you please also post the output of sudo fdisk -l on pastebin
[15:40] <knows> i pasted the output on pastebin,pls check that out
[15:40] <mndo> magmatt, you want a older version than the one in the repos?
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> knows: your windoze seems to be on an extended partition, which is quite unusual, normally windoze is installed on /dev/sda1
[15:40] <magmatt> mndo: correct
[15:40] <mang0> nitstorm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690082/ where is my first HDD being mounted then? The one with the installation on, not HDD2 (storage)
[15:40] <magmatt> mndo: Maverick has 8.4.4
[15:41] <knows> but i don't have windows installed
[15:42] <nitstorm> mang0: the drive you used for installation is /dev/sda1 and the mount pount is / because it's where the whole installation took place and it is what is running linux
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> knows: NTFS is a windoze partition format
[15:42] <mang0> nitstorm: Ahh, now I understand :)
[15:42] <mndo> magmatt, you could get the debs and install them by hand using dpkg but i don't know if you won't get conflicts
[15:42] <knows> yeah i know that
[15:42] <nitstorm> mang0: the second /dev/sdd1 is your second HDD that you use for storage
[15:42] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: it's called Windows - please refer to it by it's correct name
[15:43] <mang0> nitstorm: I getcha.
[15:43] <oCean> !windoze  | MonkeyDust
[15:43] <memememe1> hi are the security updates really required. it asks me to download updated of size 300MB lol
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> knows: it is possible to modify existing partition without data loss, i did it, but it took a very long time
[15:43]  * Test
[15:43] <memememe1> hello are security updates for ubuntu really required?
[15:44] <ikonia> memememe1: yes
[15:44] <memememe1> ikonia: without them someone can sneak in my pc and do terrible things or no?
[15:44] <nitstorm> mang0: if you don't mind can I also ask you to post the output of lsusb -vt and also please send the link of pastebin article of lsusb output
[15:44] <dr_willis> memememe1:  if you are on a pc thats not connected to the internet... perhaps you could skop them.
[15:44] <knows> monkeydust:is there any tutorial for doing thaa?
[15:44] <compdoc> memememe1, its a good idea to keep your systems up to date
[15:44] <knows> *that
[15:44] <ikonia> memememe1: depends, but yes, they are required
[15:45] <nitstorm> memememe1: yes security updates are really useful. Just make sure that you are not doing a dist-upgrade as of yet unless you want to try out Oneiric Ocelot
[15:45] <memememe1> dr_willis: i am using it on the internet but i heard vulnerabilities on linux dont exist like in windows
[15:45] <dr_willis> memememe1:  time to do more research i think. :)
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> knows: you can use gparted, delete the w95 partition and use the space for linux, but... first backup your data!!
[15:45] <memememe1> lol
[15:45] <CyborgSmurf> anyone knows how to get the latest editor for supertux 1?
[15:45] <ikonia> memememe1: they do exist if you don't apply updates
[15:45] <memememe1> is a firewall enabled by default in ubuntu 10.10
[15:45] <ikonia> CyborgSmurf: what the devil is supertux1
[15:45] <ikonia> memememe1: yes, but it's open
[15:45] <dr_willis> memememe1: proper system security is a process. :) one part of the process is staying up to date with security fix's
[15:46] <memememe1> ikonia: how can i disable others from pinging my machine
[15:46] <dr_willis> memememe1:  theres no default firewall rules. but there is a firewall in the os
[15:46] <mang0> nitstorm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690088/ - lsusb -vt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/690089/ - lsusb :)
[15:46] <ikonia> memememe1: disable icmp within the firewall
[15:46] <memememe1> dr_willis: dang this will expose all the ports to the world
[15:46] <dr_willis> memememe1:  incorrect...
[15:46] <theadmin> memememe1: So? If nothing is listening on them, nothing can harm you.
[15:46] <CyborgSmurf> ikonia: like a mariogame but with a penguin
[15:46] <dr_willis> memememe1:  theres no default services.. so nothing is listening by default. so its not an issue.
[15:47] <memememe1> i see
[15:47] <ikonia> CyborgSmurf: I thought that was tuxracer
[15:47] <theadmin> memememe1: It's not like ports are any actual physical holes or stuff like that
[15:47] <memememe1> i didnt put any apache or anything
[15:47] <nitstorm> mang0: don't laugh at me but can I get you to do something? Could you please disconnect your External Drive and connect it back again?
[15:47] <dr_willis> memememe1:  windows aproaches the firewalling 'way' from the opposite  viewpoint basically.
[15:47] <theadmin> dr_willis: Well, on Windows you *can* expect an awkward malware service to install itself, especially on a unpriveleged port
[15:47] <dr_willis> memememe1:  if you installed no sercvices.. then nothing is listening. so theres no way for someone to get in.
[15:48] <dr_willis> memememe1:  biggest danger to your linux system will be the  admin doing stuff he dosent underastand. :)
[15:48] <CyborgSmurf> ikonia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3Ok_GkbgKA
[15:48] <memememe1> dr_willis: so why i need security updates if i just use firefox and nothing else to connect to the net
[15:48] <mang0> nitstorm: Heh, first thing I tried ;)
[15:48] <ubuntu_> hi guys
[15:48] <ubuntu_> i need help
[15:48] <dr_willis> memememe1:  because they  often ARE for firefox. or other browsers, or other apps.
[15:48] <mang0> !ask ubuntu_
[15:48] <mang0> oops
[15:48] <theadmin> mang0: Wrong syntax.
[15:49] <theadmin> !ask | ubuntu_
[15:49] <mang0> !ask | ubuntu_
[15:49] <memememe1> dr_willis: i have the latest firefox
[15:49] <dr_willis> memememe1:  and many of the updates are bug fix's for crashes or memory leaks
[15:49] <nitstorm> mang0: LOL :P Hang on, let me scourge the forums and stuff for answers... else you might have to post on ubuntuforums or askubuntu about it...
[15:49] <dr_willis> memememe1:  so?   it still has potential for issues.
[15:49] <plouffe> memememe1, are you on dialup?
[15:49] <mang0> nitstorm: Ah, okay, thanks :)
[15:50] <memememe1> dr_willis: my bandwidth is capped so i was thinking can i wait for some more months without something gettingin. malware etc
[15:50] <memememe1> plouffe: i am on 3g
[15:50] <theadmin> memememe1: You know how there was the huge security hole in X allowing almost everything to gain root access? Well, that's why you need security fixes. Avoiding stuff like that.
[15:50] <plouffe> memememe1, if you can't afford use something cheaper
[15:50] <nitstorm> mang0: which version of ubuntu you using?
[15:50] <mang0> nitstorm: Natty
[15:50] <theadmin> memememe1: Well, malware is not really a problem on Linux, so yeah, you can consider yourself pretty safe
[15:51] <memememe1> theadmin: but i dont have telnet server so nobody can connect :P
[15:51] <ubuntu_> ok so i have ubuntu n windows,today i ran windows ,idk why but chkdsk has been  enabled,so checked disk rebooted and it says 'cant found a disk'
[15:51] <ubuntu_> next
[15:51] <theadmin> memememe1: I think Ubuntu had sshd running by default
[15:51] <nitstorm> mang0: alrighty, will continue the search and let you know...
[15:51] <memememe1> theadmin bad
[15:51] <ikonia> theadmin: it doesn't
[15:51] <tensorpudding> theadmin: no
[15:51] <theadmin> ikonia: Ah, ok, thanks. Must've messed something up.
[15:51] <mang0> nitstorm: Thanks, very much appreciated :)
[15:51] <theadmin> memememe1: Sorry, my bad
[15:52] <tensorpudding> only if you install the openssh-server package
[15:52] <ikonia> theadmin: you need openssh-server
[15:52] <memememe1> if nothing is running nobody can connect to me and have root access
[15:52] <ubuntu_> i downloaded disktest or testdisk tryed it and old MBR has partitions
[15:52] <dr_willis> memememe1:  they often make a '.1' release of ubuntu that includes most updates.
[15:52] <memememe1> so pretty safe i guess
[15:52] <ubuntu_> how i will restore that
[15:52] <ubuntu_> ?
[15:52] <dr_willis> memememe1:  buggest danger is the user/admin doing somthing silly. :)
[15:52] <nitstorm> mang0: Can you just check and see if the Disk Utility or gparted can detect the drive atleast?
[15:52] <memememe1> dr_willis: i will do nothing like that ;)
[15:53] <dr_willis> memememe1:  yea..heard that befor.
[15:53] <memememe1> dr_willis: just use firefox
[15:53] <dr_willis> second biggest threat is flash i imagine. :)
[15:53] <mang0> nitstorm: Again, tried already. I've got my 2 internals, but not the external
[15:53] <ubuntu_> no one cares dam
[15:53] <memememe1> flash plugin i didnt get it
[15:53] <iratsu> compiz keeps crashing for me. is there a place where it keeps logs so i can diagnose it?
[15:53] <ikonia> ubuntu_: please don't be silly
[15:53] <memememe1> i never install flash plugin ;)
[15:53] <theadmin> !patience | ubuntu_
[15:54] <ubuntu_> ok i repeat
[15:54] <mang0> ubuntu_: Try and ask your questions all in one line, it's easier to understand and read through
[15:54] <nitstorm> mang0: ah.... i see..
[15:54] <bastidrazor> iratsu: possibly look in ~/.xsession-errors
[15:54] <mang0> nitstorm: Sorry, shoulda told you that :P
[15:54] <ubuntu_> how can i restore disk partitions with testdisk?
[15:54] <ubuntu_> ftw mbr table
[15:54] <theadmin> ubuntu_: Just do it, I mean, it has a very obvious interface
[15:54] <ikonia> ubuntu_: you can only restore the partition table, not the actual partitions
[15:55] <ubuntu_> partitions has data
[15:55] <ubuntu_> not erased
[15:55] <theadmin> ikonia: It can restore *some* partitiontypes at least partially, I know it does FAT and NTFS
[15:55] <dr_willis> once you restore the partition table. you then try to access the partition I thought.
[15:55] <OerHeks> ubuntu_, you can run testdisk from the Gparted Live iso, the partition need to be unmounted to rebuild the MBR
