[06:04] <uRock> JamezQ: tar -cvf <file.name> to compress and tar -xvf <file.name> to extract
[06:04] <JamezQ> so, just to be sure, the command is do "zip -r "${dir%/}.zip" "$dir"; done"
[06:04] <MichaelSOG> I've a question, why recently when I get in freenode, in ubuntu channel automatically, it redirects me to ubuntu.unreagged, or something like that
[06:04] <MichaelSOG> my nickname is also registered
[06:04] <JamezQ> it ends with done, right/
[06:04] <JamezQ> ?
[06:04] <prince_jammys> JamezQ: no, the entire thing i said.
[06:04] <prince_jammys> for .... done
[06:04] <nocturnus> anyone knows how much it works?
[06:04] <uRock> MichaelSOG: I have had that same problem.
[06:05] <JamezQ> thanks
[06:05] <MichaelSOG> I don't know why =/
[06:05] <prince_jammys> JamezQ: the 'for', 'do', 'done' is not english, it's the full shell loop.
[06:05] <prince_jammys> it's code
[06:05] <JamezQ> Thank you so much
[06:05] <MichaelSOG> and just with this channel, others doesn't make me something similar
[06:06] <uRock> yup
[06:07] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: it depends on few packages, most on default installation
[06:07] <MichaelSOG> none can tell me why?
[06:08] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: debconf (>= 0.5) , debconf-2.0 , libc6 (>= 2.4) , and wget
[06:08] <red2kic> !identify | MichaelSOG
[06:09] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: it works just fine, I am typing from a b43 wifi connection right now
[06:09] <b00m_chef> I am trying to get a samba share (OSX) to mount in ubuntu, however, the permissions are f*kd...can someone help?
[06:09] <b00m_chef> In fstab I have it setup with a credentials file and defaults
[06:09] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: it might have some issues with a particular chipset, but the chance for it to work is good
[06:09] <b00m_chef> when I try to create a test directory in the mounted samba OSX share, I get this: mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Permission denied
[06:10] <MichaelSOG> kinda freak, I've put that service on my Konversation =/
[06:10] <chazz> is the code of FloodBot available?
[06:11] <aegis> Hey, any idea when Drupal will work with Ubuntu 10.04?
[06:11] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: my system runs on a BCM4311 rev 01
[06:11] <Gnea> drupal doesn't work with 10.04?
[06:11] <chazz> aegis, ..it does?
[06:11] <chazz> s/?//
[06:12] <PresuntoRJ> aegis: there is a package for that, you could also run from their repository trunk... most likely, #ubuntu-server will be able to help you a lot
[06:12] <aegis> well, you have to downgrade to the PHP from Karmic
[06:12] <aegis> Thanks PresuntoRJ
[06:13] <rww> chazz: no
[06:13] <PresuntoRJ> aegis: remember to specify if you are trying to use drupal 5 or drupal6 , ok?
[06:13] <b00m_chef> hmm
[06:13] <chazz> rww, damn. They seem quite useful
[06:14] <okra> has anyone been able to get ubuntu working on a gateway all in one pc?
[06:15] <aegis> PresuntoRJ, will do...
[06:18] <okra> I haven't even been able to get passed the Try Ubuntu Without Installing option... hit enter.. screen goes black... never to be seen again.
[06:18] <okra> past*
[06:19] <okra> same with Install Ubuntu option.
[06:20] <uRock> okra when the LiveCD first starts to boot, tap the space bar until you get the main menu and select to test the cd image. Also, if you have an intel gpu you may have to use the safe graphics mode
[06:20] <okra> it is indeed intel
[06:23] <CppIsWeird> is there a utility that allows you to modify how intel's speedstep i7's work?
[06:24] <thune3> okra: see workaround A -- From the LiveCD in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes  (i'm assuming you have 8xx series chipset)
[06:24] <codeprime> how do you rip all tracks from DVD with acidrip?
[06:24] <codeprime> it only lets me rip one at a time
[06:29] <zetheroo1> I am trying to install a package and am getting this error: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java7-jre ( )|sun-java6-jre ( )|jre (>= 1.6.0)
[06:29] <zetheroo1> does this mean I have to install the closed source Java packages?
[06:29] <Doyle> zetheroo1: are you using the synaptic package manager?
[06:30] <zetheroo1> Doyle: package installer
[06:30] <fishcooker> i've tried ubuntu liveusb...
[06:30] <fishcooker> how to make it persistent when i tried another box?!
[06:31] <Doyle> zetheroo1: it typically finds and installs all dependancies by its self. You can install them on your own, then try the app you wanted again.
[06:31] <Doyle> fishcooker: here ya go   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[06:31] <zetheroo1> Doyle: yes, well it's not installing the dependencies this time because they are no longer present in the default Lucid repos, afaik
[06:32] <cyberjunk502> i need some help
[06:32] <Chr|s> Cyber_Akuma: have to be more descriptive
[06:32] <valbaca> !ask | cyberjunk502
[06:33] <DoubleString> hey all
[06:33] <Untouchab1e> Hi all.. quick question
[06:34] <ldiamond> how do I suspend a server (S3) from CLI?
[06:34] <Untouchab1e> Running Ubuntu 10.04 and wanting to try out Gnome 3 (Gnome-Shell?). Ive gathered that all that is required is a sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and then a gnome-shell-replace
[06:34] <Untouchab1e> but what if I want to go back to Gnome 2.3?
[06:34] <fishcooker> thanks doyle 4 quick response, i read it first before asking again :D
[06:35] <cyberjunk502> i want to change my home directory to another partition is that possible with reinstalling
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Untouchab1e: I believe its: gnome-shell --replace
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: I'd just move the folder in root recovery console then symlink
[06:36] <Doyle> zetheroo1:  have a look at this, it may help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466184
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: or you could copy the data then mount the partition as /home
[06:36] <cyberjunk502> i want to change my home mount point to another partition is that possible with reinstalling linux
[06:36] <Untouchab1e> ActionParsnip: thanks
[06:36] <zetheroo1> Doyle: thanks, I found the command to enable the partner repository with java6 ;)
[06:36] <Doyle> zetheroo1: cool
[06:36] <shadow420> !server
[06:36] <DontKnow17898> ubottu has been kicked automaticly by  -No_One ScripT-
[06:37] <AlbertoP> cyberjunk502: yes it is possible. a) move /home there with its content b) edit fstab to point to the new place
[06:37] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: how to mount the partition as /home
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: you'll need to move the data to another place too or the data will be stored twice. Mounting only replaces the visible data
[06:37] <okra> thune3, no luck there tried. the i915.modeset=1
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: you'll need a new entry in /etc/fstab for it
[06:37] <Chr|s> DontKnow17898: Not cool to play around.
[06:38] <PresuntoRJ> ldiamond: I believe there is a script in /etc/acpi called sleep that does the trick
[06:38] <AlbertoP> cyberjunk502: little care... pay attention to move also the hidden directories of your home
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> !cookie
[06:38] <Doyle> fishcooker: so you've gotten ubuntu to boot from usb, but it doesn't save your work to the key?
[06:38] <shadow420> I need help with an old dell poweredge 2300 I am trying to instaLL UBUNTU LINUC ON IT
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> Hehe she's still here
[06:38] <PresuntoRJ> ldiamond: I am not sure if it depends on gnome and dbus, though
[06:39] <shawnboy> When you click on pic in Firefox and make it desktop background, where is that file stored?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> shadow420: linux, not linuc
[06:39] <fishcooker> yip2 doyle
[06:39] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: Its says i don't have the permission to do so even if i had open it as root
[06:39] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: should i log in as root
[06:39] <shadow420> ActionParsnip sorry about that
[06:39] <fishcooker> that's true... i've got the ubuntu run from usb
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> !fstab | cyberjunk502
[06:40] <fishcooker> the thing i want after i apt-get install 'sth' i got it persistent on my usb
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> shadow420: what's your issue?
[06:40] <fishcooker> is there any option
[06:40] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: how to copy the content of home directory
[06:41] <Bam_Bam> I'm trying to start OpenVPN from terminal. I have the configuration file in /etc/openvpn and it automatically connects but I'm not able to establish any connections, whereas if I use the network-manager-openvpn GUI it connects no problem. Same certs / keys.
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: you need to boot to a different usb to install to another usb (or boot cd to install) if you transferred the iso then it uses a compressed file so changes don't stick
[06:41] <fishcooker> Doyle !?
[06:41] <Bam_Bam> Is there something more that the GUI does?
[06:41] <Doyle> fishcooker: ah, so your installs dont stick... just asec
[06:41] <uRock> the GUI does everything
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: mount the destination as writable and copy the data over
[06:42] <Doyle> there ya go. Thanks ActionParsnip ... I was just about to over-think it
[06:42] <shadow420> I am trying to get the server see a scsi cdrom drive
[06:42] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[06:43] <fishcooker> actionParsnip i don't get your point wold you plz explain to me again more slowly :D
[06:43]  * uRock is getting sleep... c-ya tomorrow peoples.
[06:43] <insign> Hello, i need a generic help. I want link subdomain.mysite.com to an other server out of the server of mysite.com, on dns config, ill use NS or CNAME param? So that the same files from the main site are available in the subdomain.
[06:43] <okra> hmm
[06:44] <Doyle> Bam_Bam: look at the log file, you'll probably see something about it not being able to load a conf or crt (i think) file.
[06:44] <Doyle> Bam_Bam: try running it with sudo... that's all the suggestion I can offer. Sorry
[06:44] <shawnboy> Anyone know where mozilla keeps desktop background images?**
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: the packages you run are in a big tar.gz file, as they are needed they are extracted and used. When you install stuff in the live environment it only applys to the ram drive. If you install to the usb instead of transferring the iso, it will act like a platter based drive and updates will stick
[06:45] <spyk3> ok now maybe i have done this right
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: I believe its $HOME/Pictures but I haven't used firefox for years
[06:46] <spyk3> i have a dell inspiron 2200 when i installed ubuntu i can't get my wireless drives to work
[06:46] <spyk3> it doesn't see my network
[06:46] <spyk3> ethernet works good
[06:46] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: what do you use?
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: chromium daily and arora
[06:47] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: darn. HOME/pictures isn't it.
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: one line will identify the wireless
[06:47] <shadow420> I am trying get an old dell poweredge up and running but it's not seeing a scsi cd-rom drive
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: if you get the filename of the image you could search $HOME for the filename
[06:48] <shadow420> its an old scsi setup
[06:48] <fishcooker> doyle actionparsnip thanks again... is there any pointer to do your option?!
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> shadow420: does it show in the output of: sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive
[06:48] <spyk3> im not sure i will have to reinstall ubuntu i just didnt know if there was an easy way or something first time linux user
[06:48] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: that's part of my problem. I don't know the filename because I came across web pic and chose "make background" now I want to know image file.
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: well, no. If it doesn't work now. A reinstall will put you in the same place
[06:49] <shadow420> the server itself is not seeing the cd rom
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: could check your history for something that smells right
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: could also ask in the mozilla irc channel
[06:49] <spyk3> its on my laptop and im on my desktop
[06:50] <spyk3> i reinstalled windows when i couldnt get wireless to work with my laptop
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: well its only a single line, you can read and type the chip name into websearches
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: obv makesure the killswitch is set so the wireless chip is enabled
[06:50] <spyk3> so basically when i get ubuntu back on do i type that sudo lshw etc into terminal?
[06:51] <spyk3> complete newb at linux
[06:51] <Doyle> fishcooker: just boot from CD/DVD, then install the OS to your usb key. Be careful not to select your hard drive
[06:51] <shawnboy> I think I found it by looking at HOME/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml
[06:51] <okra> thune3, ahh that link is misleading.. its not modeset=1 its modeset=0 ;)
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: yes and you'll see the chip. If wired works i'd advise you use a wired connection and get updated. The driver may simply be offered to you
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: sounds likely
[06:52] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: I think it's in HOME/Firefox_wallpaper.png
[06:52] <spyk3> ActionParsnip, how do i update
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: use software centre etc
[06:52] <shawnboy> yeah, ActionParsnip that's where it is.
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: cool, get it opened and see :)
[06:53] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: just a little nosing around is all it took. Thanks though for responding to my question.
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> No problems fellah
[06:56] <fishcooker> doyle thanks lucky there a 2 usb on my hand... ic ic your point rite now actionparsnip
[06:57] <Doyle> beauty
[06:57] <Doyle> I can't wait to replace this laptop. I'vebeen putting it off till one with usb3 comes out that I like...
[06:57] <Doyle> USB3 keys here I come!
[06:58] <mcc> is there a quick way to get a list of all files on a system owned by a particular user?
[06:58] <mcc> about to run deluser --remove-all-files, want to mkae sure this isn't a mistake
[06:59] <zetheroo1> is there a gui for vnc?
[06:59] <dougb_freebsd> it's not "quick," but 'sudo find / -user foo' will do it
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  a gui to do what?
[07:01] <zetheroo1> I am looking for an alternative to Yuuguu and Teamviewer ... anyone know of anything?
[07:01] <thune3> okra: if 0 is the option that works for you, i think you may not have 8xx graphics. please check "lspci | grep VGA"
[07:01] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: remote desktop access
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  yes.. i know what vnc does.. what sort of gui are you really needing it for? you connect to an ip. and thats about it..
[07:01] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: afaik with VNC it's anything but simple
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  i found it rather simple
[07:02] <zetheroo1> :)
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> you run the vncserver in read only mode. and let others connect.
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> over the Internet however - it can be sluggish.
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> FreeNX can be much faster
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> but freenx is also a bit more complex to setup.
[07:03] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: that is what I need it for ... accessing computers all over the place
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> For best preformance - see freenx or some of the nx variants.
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  personally i just ssh in to the remote box's and run what apps i need
[07:03] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: so there is nothing like Teamviewer that just basically "works out-of-the-box" ...
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> gnomes built in vncserver works out of the box.. but it has its own limitations.
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> ssh -X remotebox    works :)
[07:04] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: I mean mainly working out-of-the-box for the other person
[07:04] <ikey> not secure though Dr_Willis..
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> Ive no idea what features TeamViewer has comparesd to other machines
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> Shareing a Desktop that has compiz running can also cause 'issues' i recall.
[07:05] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: with Teamviewer you just install it and give the remote individual the pin ... he puts it in the program on his side and accesses your system ... no setup needed at either end
[07:05] <fishcooker> dr_willis zetherool visit nomachine.com
[07:05] <fishcooker> there is varian freenx there
[07:05] <ikey> Dr_Willis, a few  X extensions cause issues with it tbh.
[07:05] <zetheroo1> Teamviewer is also for Mac, Windows and Linux ...
[07:05] <ikey> Not just composite
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  he enters the pin in what exactly?  he has to install somthing to access the teamviewer box dont he
[07:06] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: yes ... both sides install the app
[07:06] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: if I want to access your system I get your pin and put it into my app ...
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> so its getting the actual connection info from some master server?   via the pin?
[07:07] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: yes ... I suppose it's all running through another server somewhere
[07:07] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: Yuuguu is much like Skype ... but with "Screen Sharing"
[07:08] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: and it also is for Mac, Windows and Linux
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> then why dont you use it? what did i miss. :)
[07:08] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: the reason I use these apps is because the person I am helping does not have to be tech-savvy to use them ....
[07:09] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: but at the same time I would rather use something free and open source if it were available
[07:09] <zetheroo1> but I am prepared to be told there is nothing quite like it ;)
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> vnc and NX are more 'general' tools - is the reason they are not 2 clicks and they are done.
[07:09] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: ok
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> vnc and nx can do what you want. but they will take more setup. because they have different design goals.
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> then can also do 100x more then what you want. :)
[07:10] <suigeneris> hey
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> Most apps have webuis so vnc often isn't needed :)
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> Hi suigeneris
[07:11] <suigeneris> is there a simple way to show codec info of a video file?
[07:11]  * suigeneris waves to ogunay
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: I believe mencoder can show that
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> suigeneris:  ffpobe can give info also.
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> suigeneris:  or right click on a video , properties and check the tabs
[07:12] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: but why is it sluggish over the Internet?
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> gnome file manager can give a lot of info.. but im not sure if thats a default feature. or if extra packages are needed
[07:12] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: I have heard that from several ppl
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  vnc is a rather old protocall and shares the whole desktpp as a series of images (basically)
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> it was designed for lan ussage and quick connections. and not super complex desktops
[07:13] <coldhak> lxde appears to be forcing the default panel to be stuck to the bottom of the screen. is this a bug, or a 'feature'?
[07:13] <coldhak> any way to fix it?
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  You may want to ask in #lubuntu
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: it can be moved to the top (I believe)
[07:13] <coldhak> indeed, but there's so few in there, i doubt my question would be answered.
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  thers always the lxde homepage/docs  - theres so few people in here that use Lxde it may not get answered in here.
[07:14] <coldhak> ActionParsnip, it has the option in the panel config menu, but it glitches back to the bottom.
[07:14] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: I take it the vnc protocol is gpl !?
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> Saw where Lubuntu is getting pushed back and is not going to be an 'official' variant in 10.10 either.
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  yes - has been for years. befor nx or these other tools even existed
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> One reason for its quirks. It was sort of the first.. (sort of) and the others learned from its limitions
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: right click panel -> panel settings -> geometry tab
[07:15] <coldhak> yes. it glitches back to the bottom.
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: the setting should be saved in your configs. Make sure you are the owner of you $HOME
[07:16] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: are there other gpl protocols? nx?
[07:16] <viki> hello ubuntu ppl
[07:16] <coldhak> ...is it possible to not be the owner of $HOME?
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: otherwise I would log a bug
[07:16] <coldhak> how do I check this?
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  FreeNX is the gpl variant of NX i belive.
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  if you accidently run some apps as root.. you can mess up permissions in your users HOME - yes.
[07:17] <Doyle> coldhak: it's called a mortgage
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: you could have ran a gui app with sudo and garbaged the ownership, a few files may be affected and cause issues
[07:17] <CppIsWeird> any utilities to control the cooling of laptops?
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Doyle: nice :)
[07:17] <viki> Dr_Willis: NeatX is googles variant of freenx, also gpl and newer
[07:17] <coldhak> the only gui app i've run with sudo is synaptic
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo1: why are you using vnc? What do you do in the vnc session?
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> viki:  yep. ive gotten the nx stuff working.. but itsa a little confuseing..
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: don't!
[07:18] <viki> :)
[07:18] <coldhak> but still, how do I check that?
[07:18] <Doyle> ouch
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: sudo is not to be used with gui apps. Use gksudo
[07:18] <viki> btw im wondering if anyone could help me with bash logging issues
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  ls -al /home/ and  ls -al in your home dir to see ownership/permissions
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: run: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
[07:19] <zetheroo1> ActionParsnip: I am not using it
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo1: ok cool
[07:19] <zetheroo1> ActionParsnip: I was looking to find an alternative to other tools I was using ...
[07:19] <mobasher> viki> what's the issue ??
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo | coldhak
[07:19] <ikey> Coz you break xauthority.
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: if you are the owner of all of home and it still happens you should log a bug. The guys in #lubuntu may be able to help
[07:21] <coldhak> ok, i'll ask them then
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: and maybe even in #lxde
[07:21] <mcc> hello... i am having some odd problems... i am trying to install mysql-server and it keeps failing. i've purged and reinstalled several times now. i always get to a point where if i say service mysql start i get an error in daemon.log saying: "mysql pre-start process (29460) terminated with status 1"
[07:21] <mcc> or some pid
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> Although #lxde has 14 users in
[07:22] <mcc> looking on google I see many people with similar problems but none of their fixes worked for me.
[07:22] <mcc> is there any way to find some kind of log that explains where and why this "pre-start process" failed?
[07:22] <Doyle> mcc: what version?
[07:22] <coldhak> #lubuntu isn't much better. I may just go back to fluxbox.
[07:23] <Doyle> I've had the issue with 5.1
[07:23] <mcc> Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[07:23] <mcc> and it's mysql 5.1, yes
[07:23] <mcc> do you think it would be easier if i used mysql 4?
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  check  the docs at the lxde homepage. it very well could be they got the panel locked to the bottom for some reason.
[07:23] <ikey> coldhak, Plain OpenBox is nice.. just stick your own panel in
[07:23] <mcc> it appears there are a really enormous number of ways that mysql "pre-start "script can fail
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  the panel is handled by lxpanel program i recall.  You could roll your own desktop and use fluxvbox and lxpanel.
[07:24] <dougb_freebsd> tint2 works well with plan openbox
[07:24] <dougb_freebsd> I use that for my freebsd configuration
[07:24] <ikey> or even bmpanel
[07:24] <Doyle> mcc: does my.cnf exist for you?
[07:25] <mcc> ...hm.
[07:25] <mcc> actually, this time it doesn't.
[07:25] <Doyle> mcc do a "locate my.cnf" in the terminal
[07:25] <Doyle> ok,  you need to put it in. It's easy... I'll give you a link
[07:25] <mcc> i've purged and reinstalled about four times now... every other time /etc/my.cnf made it in, this time it didn't
[07:25] <Doyle> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/573318/+attachment/1394782/+files/my.cnf
[07:26]  * mcc nods... let me handle that and come back
[07:26] <Doyle> that's the default my.cnf, save it in /etc/mysql/
[07:26] <extraclassic> dougb_freebsd: do you know how to have multiple boxes in the tint2 panel for your desktops, like in crunchbang
[07:26] <mcc> i was at a point like a half hour ago though that i had that exact my.cnf file in place and it was failing for some other reason, though
[07:26] <dougb_freebsd> I don't know what crunchbang is, but tint2 is highly configurable
[07:26] <Doyle> mcc: try it again to be sure. We'll run down your issue
[07:27] <mcc> thanks. one minute
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> dougb_freebsd:  a ubuntu spinoff that basically just has openbox
[07:27] <ikey> 9.04 anyway
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> or was it fluxbox.. or some XXXXXbox
[07:27] <ikey> Dr_Willis, OpenBox
[07:27] <dougb_freebsd> ok, then why not just run crunchbang? :)
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> Openbox
[07:27] <ikey> Dr_Willis, Latest CrunchBang uses Debian.
[07:27] <ikey> fwiw.
[07:27] <mcc> by the way, just out of curiosity, how do you restart "apparmor"?
[07:28] <Doyle> Oooooo, tint2 is beautiful... I love the stuff I hear about when I'm here
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> dougb_freebsd: its not supported here but you can make an equiv using ubuntu and get support here
[07:28] <ikey> Doyle, bmpanel aint shabby either. few nice themes on deviantArt you could tweak
[07:28] <extraclassic> dougb_freebsd: crunchbang is based on ubuntu, but uses openbox...I'm using arch though for more up-to-date softwrea
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> ikey: ahhh they moved to debian. Nice
[07:28] <ikey> ActionParsnip, Statler is Debian base. Last Ubuntu base was 9.04
[07:29] <dougb_freebsd> Doyle: I'm very fond of tint2, it's small but very featureful, and you can do very nifty things with it
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> ikey: gotcha. Lubuntu all the way here :)
[07:29]  * Dr_Willis looks back on all the linux variants... and the
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> graveyard of dead disrtos...
[07:29] <retco> what is the flag to see the file permissions with ls?
[07:29] <Doyle> Thanks ikey dougb_freebsd
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> retco:  -L or was it -l
[07:29] <ikey> ls -l
[07:29] <retco> ah thanks
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> L as in List..
[07:30] <ikey> Doyle, np
[07:30] <groken> if someone used mount --bind to mount the /proc dir, how can i locate the original source of the folder that is now bound to /proc?
[07:30] <Doyle> retco: if you're ever in doubt and no one's around you cna use "man ls" which will bring up the manual
[07:30] <retco> yeah i would've guessed v as in verbose
[07:30] <ikey> groken, check output of 'mount' by itself?
[07:30] <retco> but that's unix for you
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> retco:  verbose is for logging type messaghes..
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> so -v makes no sence.. or  for version
[07:30] <retco> well I went over ls --help but I couldn't see it
[07:30] <dougb_freebsd> Doyle: here is my rc file: http://dougbarton.us/tint2rc.txt
[07:31] <ikey> Dr_Willis, Its not the distro graveyard you should be looking at. Check out the newcomers :)
[07:31] <retco> verbose is for any output to be more verbose
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> retco:  alias la='ls -al'    is a common alias
[07:31] <retco> it makes more sense than "list" if you ask me :P
[07:31] <ikey> list, as in "full listing"
[07:31] <Doyle> dougb_freebsd: saved. That's going to save me a lot of time. Can't wait to play with it
[07:31] <ikey> but yeah I see your point retco. list list.
[07:32] <retco> hmm, everything readable. DAMN why can't it open the files.
[07:32] <dougb_freebsd> Doyle: for the transparency to work you need something like hsetroot in order to get a background, or if you're really adventurous something like xcompmgr
[07:32] <sinman> K i had figure out how to get the grub menu showing with a background with just one linux OS install, now I had search over and over, and came up empty handed, How do I change the ubuntu with the 5 dots from the start and shut down screen
[07:33] <ikey> sinman, that'd mean changing the plymouth theme.
[07:33] <ikey> which I have no clue about :)
[07:33]  * ikey finds plymouth to be an instable technology in its infancy
[07:33] <sinman> ikey : k, then I'll do a search about plymouth themes then
[07:34] <ikey> kk
[07:34] <mcc> doyle: ok... somewhat to my alarm, this time when i replaced my.cnf in /etc/mysql and ran sudo service mysql start, service just hangs
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> Plymouth really should have a trivially easy way to disable it.. :)
[07:34] <ikey> Yeah but Plymouth is too deeply rooted into Ubuntu..
[07:34] <Doyle> dougb_freebsd: thanks again... i'm a trailblaizer so I'll check out xcompmgr
[07:34] <dougb_freebsd> glad to help, good luck :)
[07:35] <ikey> Doyle, CrunchBang maintain their own fork of xcompmgr which is supposedly superior.
[07:35] <Doyle> mcc: and when you kill it and try again?
[07:35] <sinman> does anyone else knows how i can change these in plymouth?
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> eyecandy should always have an off switch. :) I can turn it off now.. but its a bit of a hack.
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> sinman:  theres some alterantive plymouth themes in the repos. and other places
[07:35] <Chr|s> How can I change the login screen? I am unable to do so. I don't care for the purple color
[07:35] <Doyle> ikey: pfft, everyone says their stuff is superior... but I'll give that one a try also
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  if you dont like the wallpaper. find the image and change it. Or use that 'gdm2setup' proigram to tweak it.
[07:36] <ikey> Doyle, It is pretty good tbh. xcompmgr was only intended as a demonstration composite manager.
[07:36] <Doyle> ikey: linux mint says their ubuntu is more ubuntu than ubuntu... it's not
[07:36] <ikey> Doyle, No they dont..
[07:37] <ikey> Got it all wrong there..
[07:37] <Chr|s> Dr_Willis: I have tried to change it, also tried that program. Each time I tried, it freezes on me.
[07:37] <jhattara> is there a way for a script to check if the computer needs a restart to apply updates ?
[07:37] <mcc> doyle: whenever it starts or stops i seem to be geting three lines: "main process terminated with status 1", "main process ended, respawning" and "mysql post-start process (29984) terminated with status 1". every time i start it seems to print these three lines to daemon.log endlessly
[07:37] <mcc> however if i stop and start a lot service mysql start never exits on its own
[07:37] <retco> awh shit it's windows paths!
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  editing the wallpaper is rather trivial. find the original one in /usr/share  and back it up. copy yoru new one over the old  :)
[07:38] <retco> is there a shell that can handle backslashes?
[07:38] <rww> retco: watch your language, please
[07:38] <Doyle> I've been in their channel a few times for help with mint when I had it over the last year, but I dind't like the atmosphere
[07:38] <sometux> I want to migrate my script from twitter basic auth to OAuth, HOW?!
[07:38] <retco> hmm sorry
[07:38] <ikey> Doyle, LM isnt just about the underlying system, it appreciates the base and uses it to the full potential. And fwiw theres a debian version too.
[07:38] <ikey> Also if you'd been in the channel i'd have seen you.

[07:38] <Chr|s> Dr_Willis: so basically rename the new wallpaper I want the same as the original?
[07:39] <Doyle> mcc: hmmm
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  thats the simple way to change it.
[07:39] <mcc> so this is the exact error i'm getting : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/613032 i should mention, when i purge and reinstall, it fails to set up the root password and prints an error about ./mysql/user.frm
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  ive seen scripts that set it to be whatever wallpaper the user selects automatically also
[07:39] <Doyle> mcc: ok brb
[07:39] <retco> I just tried rendering an lxs I saved under windows on linux
[07:39] <Chr|s> Wished that was never changed in the newer version
[07:39] <Chr|s> ahh well, thanks :)
[07:39] <retco> and I have the assumption that it can't find the file because the paths have backslashes in them
[07:40] <retco> Is that correct?
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  the GDM theme is so critical? :) thats amuseing..
[07:41] <Dr_Willis>  the original wallpaper i think is /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png   (for some odd reason)
[07:41] <dougb_freebsd> retco: if you're accessing files from unix you don't use backslashes, use forward slashes
[07:41] <dougb_freebsd> and be sure to escape any spaces
[07:41] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: is that the crap stained carpet?
[07:41] <retco> yeah well the exporter does the paths
[07:41] <retco> will windows handle forward slashes?
[07:42] <Chr|s> Dr_Willis: To me it is, no reason to change something that has worked in the previous release. Should be able to change the login screen flawlessly instead of having to rename another picture the same as the original.
[07:42] <retco> appears it will
[07:42] <retco> ugh I hate operating system
[07:42] <retco> *s
[07:42] <mcc> should the mysql user be a member of the root group?
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:   go read up on the changes with gdm2 vs gdm1  -  gdm2  will have more features.. eventually.
[07:43] <retco> Luxrender should handle this differently
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  if you really want - you can install the old gdm.
[07:43] <sometux> Does anyone know how to migrate a shell script from "Twitter basic auth" --> "OAuth"?
[07:43] <retco> heck, luxblend shouldn't export backslashes
[07:43] <Blue1> retco: things break:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/565757
[07:43] <Chr|s> Dr_Willis: thanks
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> I always just edit the wallpaper to a solid blue color. and thats about it for my GDM tweaking
[07:44] <dougb_freebsd> sometux: isn't that something you should be able to find on twitter's web site? Not really on topic here
[07:44] <retco> oh damn wrong channel
[07:44] <retco> I mean
[07:44] <retco> oh snap
[07:45] <retco> ugh now how am I gonna fix this crap
[07:45] <ipunk> how to unmount?
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> sudo umount /media/whatever
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> ipunk:  umount what exactly?
[07:45] <ipunk> and iso mounted to a directory
[07:45] <undead> hi to all
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> ipunk:  sudo umount /media/whatever
[07:46] <roscogruen> what is ubuntu chat channel
[07:46] <roscogruen> ?
[07:47] <SwedeMike> roscogruen: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:47] <rww> roscogruen: for non-support chat? #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:47] <roscogruen> kewl.  thanks SwedeMike & rww
[07:48] <Doyle> mcc: just for fun, tell me what's running when you do a 'ps -e | grep sql'
[07:48] <ipunk> now how to mount ???
[07:48] <mcc> doyle: atm nothing
[07:49] <n00by> there's a 2.5gb zip file I need to download, but my connection is not good, so with browser it will take 3 days, and I can't have my PC switched on for 3 days...so what shall I do?
[07:50] <mcc> i'm right now trying to run a program called "mysql_install_db"
[07:50] <SwedeMike> n00by: wget can resume downloads if you tell it to.
[07:50] <n00by> SwedeMike: well, it's not a direct link download, I mean you have to go to that link, it asks for username and password, feed in, and then download, so it's possible with wget ?
[07:50] <mobasher> n00by>> is the file available in torrent format ?
[07:50] <SwedeMike> n00by: I don't know.
[07:50] <mcc> it gives me anunusual error message that stats with "examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information"
[07:50] <mcc> but no such logs exist
[07:50] <n00by> no idea mobasher
[07:51] <n00by> it's a feed provided by apple for it's ipad and iphone apps
[07:51] <mcc> this a little bit makes me wonder if ther eis some kind of problem with the /var/lib/mysql dir permissions that is blocking log files and such from being created
[07:51] <mobasher> n00by>> well it should say there ? check
[07:51] <n00by> mobasher: one sec
[07:51] <mcc> are you trying to download the iphone sdk?
[07:51] <Doyle> mcc: ok, do a tail on /var/log/daemon.log and try to start the service again while watching the tail
[07:52] <Doyle> mcc: you should only see a few lines pop up
[07:52] <n00by> mobasher: NO
[07:53] <mcc> doyle: okay.. "start the service" how exactly? sudo service mysql start?
[07:53] <ipunk> now how do improve the sound qulity from my laptop because on some songs ir teally sounds very bad?
[07:53] <SwedeMike> n00by: tell the people who are hosting the file that you have this problem and ask them to split it up in smaller parts.
[07:53] <n00by> SwedeMike: it's a zip file itself
[07:53] <mcc> does this channel have a pastebot
[07:53] <n00by> I don't think they would do it, they are APPLE INC. :P
[07:53] <mcc> or can someone recommend one
[07:54] <n00by> SwedeMike: also files in them I saw are 1gb huge
[07:54] <Sarvesh_ji> hi all.. i need to mount an external HDD (USB/firewire interface ) on my ubuntu 10.4 workstation
[07:54] <n00by> so no solution for this ?
[07:54] <th0r> !pastebin
[07:54] <boywonder> can anyone help out with usb boot for gparted?
[07:54] <SwedeMike> n00by: zip files can be split.
[07:55] <n00by> SwedeMike: well, but tell me one thing
[07:55] <Doyle> mcc: ok do a 'tail -F /var/log/daemon.log' and start the service as you've been doing... I assume /etc/init.d/mysql start
[07:55] <n00by> to reach that url kget or wget would need username and password to feed in, can they do this ?
[07:55] <Doyle> mcc:  yea, pastebin is good
[07:55] <ipunk> now how do improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad?
[07:56] <SwedeMike> n00by: it depends on the authentication method.
[07:56] <n00by> SwedeMike: please explain
[07:56] <SwedeMike> n00by: just look at the man page, wget can do basic http authentication, the one that pops up in your browser. If it's something else, then it can't.
[07:57] <n00by> yeah, that pops in the browser heh
[07:57] <mobasher> n00by>> try Aria download manager
[07:57] <SwedeMike> n00by: then just try it.
[07:57] <n00by> wget is a command line tool heh, some GUI tool ?
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> wget has GUI front ends also
[07:57] <mobasher> n00by>> Aria
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> theres also other download managers.
[07:57] <n00by> mobasher: is that better ?
[07:58] <mcc> doyle: http://pastebin.com/dCWbNwRs
[07:58] <mobasher> n00by>> sudo apt-get install aria
[07:58] <n00by> ok mobasher, installing wait
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> boywonder:  clarify your question to the channel.
[07:58] <n00by> mobasher: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package aria
[07:59] <Doyle> mcc: ah, that's right, they want us to use the service command now... ok brb
[07:59] <mobasher> n00by>> read PM
[07:59] <n00by> mobasher: you too :P
[07:59] <mcc> but service doesn't appear to do anything /etc/init doesn't.
[07:59] <mcc> i'm really concerned about this user.frm problem. every time i try to install it says it failed to create user.frm.
[08:00] <mcc> but it is confusing because from looking at google there seem to be a very large number of problems that generate the same two or three error messages...
[08:01] <Doyle> mcc: ok, look in '/etc/mysql/conf.d' for a link to '/home/user/my.cnf'
[08:01] <ipunk> how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad?
[08:01] <Doyle> ipunk: plugin external speakers
[08:02] <ipunk> yeah i has a hifi pconnected to my laptop
[08:02] <Sarvesh_ji> hi all.. i need to mount an external HDD (USB/firewire interface ) on my ubuntu 10.4 workstation
[08:02] <Sarvesh_ji> pls help
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> Sarvesh_ji:  Pluyg it in and it 'should' auto mount
[08:02] <mcc> doyle, the only thing in that folder is a file named "mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf"
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> Sarvesh_ji:  if not - try mounting it by hand with the proper 'sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/PICKAPLACE' command
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> !mount | Sarvesh_ji
[08:04] <Doyle> mcc: does 'locate my.cnf' return anything other than /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[08:04] <Doyle> ?
[08:04] <mcc> doyle: find / -name my.cnf returns only /etc/mysql/my.cnf and a backup in my home dir
[08:07] <Doyle> mcc: did you install mysql from the synaptic package manager?
[08:07] <Sarvesh_ji> Dr_Willis : local mounting is not a problem ... but I want to use it from other system in my network... hence thought of nfs mount it
[08:07] <ipunk> how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad?
[08:09] <mcc> doyle, i installed it via "aptitude"
[08:09] <mcc> and as mentioned i've tried purging / reinstalling it several times. i think what might have happened, one of the times i tried to install it i ran out of space on the disk and something got messed up that uninstalling did not fix. but i don't know.
[08:10] <mcc> my purging procedure is to purge, deluser and --delete-all-files the mysql user, then delete all files/dirs with mysql in the name
[08:10] <Doyle> mcc: ok, purge it. Use synaptic package manager and search for 'mysql-server' you'll see one with the version 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6, install that.  I had this issue almost 2 months ago. I did everything then one dya the issue went away... they must have snuk in an update I didn't notice
[08:11] <n00by> using kget, shows Status - Delayed, then it shows Status - Connecting... then again Status - Delayed, does that means it cannot authenticate ?
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> Sarvesh_ji:  you can set up NFS or samba. you will need to set the proper permissions on the decvice when you mount it - to be able to share it.
[08:11] <Doyle> mcc: teh package manager can be found under the System menu, and under Administration
[08:12] <mcc> doyle, there is no gui on this machine and i can't really get one on
[08:12] <Doyle> mcc: it's a gui to allow you to search for and install software. It handles all requirements and dependancies
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> Sarvesh_ji:  if the remote box is a linux machine. It could use sshfs to access the device. or winscp if its a windows box.   This may be easier to setup
[08:12] <n00by> Dr_Willis: any idea ?
[08:12] <Doyle> mcc: ok
[08:12] <mcc> do you suppose there's a way to get that information with the command line tools?
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> !info synaptic
[08:13] <kalmosx> I've been searching and trying tutorials.. nothing works. ASUS UL30 webcam upside down :(
[08:13] <kalmosx> anyone have advice? cheese is right-side up, flash is upside down
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  upside down? :) thats.. amuseing..  I tend to turn mine upside down when i Chat.. to annoy people
[08:14] <n00by> Dr_Willis: any help?
[08:14] <n00by> using kget, shows Status - Delayed, then it shows Status - Connecting... then again Status - Delayed, does that means it cannot authenticate ?
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i saw a program that works as a front end to the webcam that can to tricks and effects.. it can rotate.. but it may be a little overkill to use it to just rotate it back.
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  i tend to just use wget from command line.
[08:14] <kalmosx> hm, well i wonder if it will work... only flash is upside down, so i don't know what's up
[08:14] <n00by> Dr_Willis: and you can use resume, pause and so on from the command line itself ?
[08:15] <mcc> so according to this 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 is the version i have installed
[08:15] <mcc> i got this with dpkg --list | grep mysql
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  wget has options for those yes.
[08:15] <mcc> do you suppose if i just went with mysql 4, the problem would correct itself?
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  IF the server supports it
[08:15] <Doyle> mcc: just to confirm you're installing with 'sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1'?
[08:15] <n00by> Dr_Willis: hmm, just used kget doenst works, but thanks!
[08:15] <mcc> i'm installing with sudo aptitude install libdbd-mysql-perl mysql-client mysql-server
[08:15] <mcc> but that's choosing the 5.1 package
[08:15] <Doyle> mcc: have you run sudo apt-get update recently?
[08:16] <mcc> yes, within the last few hours
[08:16] <mcc> and everything is upgraded
[08:16] <kalmosx> perhaps i should install a lens on my webcam to flip the image...
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  this tool (i cant find its name)  sort of works as a middleman - it makes a 2nd fake video device  so the webcam -> program -> device -> program accessing the cam.. sees the fake cam. that can do all sorts of tricks. and even get some programs working that have issues directly accessing the web cam
[08:16] <mast`> would anyone know how to open a gnome-terminal window with more than one tab then telling each tab what process to run? directly from a command line (or a shell script)
[08:17] <Dr_Willis> mast`:  ive seen that asked befor.. i think its possible. but i dont recall how it was done. check gnome-terminal --help perhaps
[08:17] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: this sounds excellent, if only i could find it...
[08:18] <Doyle> mcc: ok, sorry, for aptitude update then. hmmm
[08:18] <mcc> i'm gonna try 4.1. wave a dead chicken
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i saw it on the 'pinguy os' ubuntu variant and was playing with it. It let me pipe videos to my webcam. :)
[08:18] <mcc> it just seems so strange that these scripts are failing and the most specific error i can get is "status 1"
[08:19] <Doyle> mcc: would it be ok for you to just use 'sudo tasksel'?
[08:19] <Doyle> it setup a lamp server
[08:19] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: i suppose i'll continue digging in google's archives
[08:19] <mcc> doyle: oh. well, that would work fine, though i'm not very familiar with it
[08:20] <Doyle> mcc: give it a shot, it sets it up as the packages would normally be setup anyway. It's just a quicky way someone setup at some point
[08:20] <mcc> doyle: this looks like it's doing basically the same things i was doing by hand
[08:20] <Doyle> the status 1 error is junk. Programmers. Can't kill em... lol
[08:20] <Doyle> exactly
[08:21] <mcc> ...
[08:21] <mcc> well that's terrifying
[08:21] <Doyle> what is?
[08:21] <mcc> the tasksel thing worked on the first try :O
[08:21] <Doyle> bo ya!
[08:21] <mcc> like, mysqld is running fine now :O
[08:21] <mcc> thank you so much!
[08:21] <Doyle> lol
[08:21] <Doyle> That's now my answer for everything
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  yea. I recall the app was java based (wich suprised me) i dont see it in the PinguyOS listing.. proberly because it was not an app he just apt-get install'ed.. but nstalled by hand. Let me heck my bookmarks
[08:22] <Evo11> morning guys
[08:22] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: thanks a lot :)
[08:22] <Doyle> anytime mcc, that was fun
[08:22] <Evo11> does anyone know of a good program for creating ISO files of movies?
[08:23]  * ikey would say dd but always gets flamed for it
[08:23] <p1oooop1> Evo11: yeah, but I don't think it's for linux...
[08:23] <p1oooop1> stupid windows domination.
[08:23] <Evo11> k lm looking for a linux one tyhough
[08:23] <p1oooop1> Evo11: search up dvdshrink ;)
[08:23] <p1oooop1> haha
[08:23] <Doyle> Evo11: use dd
[08:23] <Evo11> l use that on my windows machine also
[08:24] <undifined> p1oooop1, decss was made on linux ..
[08:24] <Evo11> that is for linux Doyle?
[08:24] <undifined> lol Doyle
[08:24] <ikey> Example: dd if=/dev/dvd of=MY_BACKUP_LEGIT_HONEST.iso
[08:24] <Doyle> Evo11: yes, dd copies information bit for bit from the source to the destination, empty space included
[08:24] <ikey> Technically it should be UDF. but ohwell.
[08:24] <undifined> Evo11, tried K3b or Brasero
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i cant find the name in my bookmarks either. When i Upgraded this box. it may got removed.. I need to reboot the other box to Pinguy to find its name.. but that box is busy for the next 20 min reencoding a video. so it may be a bit. I cant even find it on google.
[08:26] <Evo11> I tried that one undifined but I got the following error: libdvdcss.so.2 (library).
[08:26] <undifined> got dcss ? no :p
[08:27] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: i appreciate your help, thanks
[08:27] <Evo11> no l don't have dcss, but lm installing K3b to try that one
[08:28] <jhattara> if there any way for a script to see if apt wants to restart the system ?
[08:29] <dougb_freebsd> jhattara: if you're that worried about it, just restart
[08:30] <jhattara> dougb_freebsd, i'd like to make an automated script to restart a server in case of kernel upgrade
[08:30] <dougb_freebsd> you shouldn't do automated kernel upgrades
[08:31] <itbcn8> h8
[08:32] <jhattara> dougb_freebsd, would it be better to make a manual timed restart
[08:32] <jhattara> ?
[08:32] <dougb_freebsd> that depends, what are you trying to accomplish?
[08:32] <sinman> how can i delete a file thru the command line?
[08:32] <jhattara> i have a webserver that needs to be restarted in the middle of the night if at all
[08:33] <jhattara> and was just wondering is it possible to let apt control the need for restart
[08:33] <ikonia> sinman: rm
[08:33] <sinman> ikonia : thanxs
[08:33] <dougb_freebsd> updating software on a server without human interaction is a really bad idea
[08:33] <ikonia> jhattara: are you seriously saying free bsd has a better "cron" than Linux ?
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> but if you choose to do it anyway, best of luck to you :)
[08:34] <jhattara> well, i have no physical access to the server around the time the restart has to be done
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> ikonia: I don't see him saying that at all
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> jhattara: who said anything about physical access?
[08:34] <ikonia> dougb_freebsd: no, I've just re-read, my mistake
[08:34] <ikonia> dougb_freebsd: your nick name caused confusion
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> ikonia: no worries :)
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> someone else on freenode has dougb
[08:35] <dougb_freebsd> and the first time I logged on here I was looking for help on another channel, so I wanted to make it clear who I was
[08:36] <jhattara> what's the difference if i don't have physical access to the server whether the restart is in cron or if i do it with ssh?
[08:37] <dougb_freebsd> jhattara: I'm assuming you have some sort of remote console access since it's a server ... if you don't, you're better off doing it when you have physical access
[08:37] <dougb_freebsd> which is better, to have it down for 10 minutes during the day when you can fix it immediately, or to have it down for 4 hours overnight because you told cron to reboot it and it failed to come back?
[08:38] <jhattara> yeah, i got ssh
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder why a webserver 'needs to be restarted' daily
[08:38] <jhattara> Dr_Willis, who said anything about daily
[08:38] <dougb_freebsd> ssh is not remote console access
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> why else would you want to be automateing it..?
[08:39] <jhattara> well, that's all the access i got to the computer
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> ssh in restart it then.. and hope for the best i guess. if its a one time thing.
[08:39] <dougb_freebsd> jhattara: then don't do software upgrades OR reboots unless you have physical access
[08:39]  * Dr_Willis agrees with dougb_freebsd
[08:39] <dougb_freebsd> Dr_Willis: you missed a whole bunch of the conversation
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> dougb_freebsd:  probnerly. :) been researching info for  some other guy...
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> I need a longer history buffer on my irc client
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> Ive had to many 'remote' box issues.. and the remote headless server is in the next room...
[08:42] <jhattara> dougb_freebsd, so basically you are saying that i shouldn't reboot a system at all if i don't have a primitive access to it?
[08:43] <dougb_freebsd> yes, that's exactly what I'm saying
[08:43] <dougb_freebsd> unless of course it's not a problem if the thing stays off line till you can get to it again
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> why is cron involved.. cant shutdown take a time artument also..
[08:44] <jhattara> Dr_Willis, it can
[08:44] <jhattara> i was just wondering if i could do a fully automated script that would restart only if apt thinks it needs a restart
[08:47] <jhattara> another script i'd like to create is something that would probe the status of various server-daemons and attempt to restart them if they are not functioning properly
[08:48] <dougb_freebsd> there are all sorts of monitoring systems available already ... nagios is probably the easiest place to start
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  the hard to rember name is 'webcamstudio' *doh*
[08:48] <Blue1> dougb_freebsd: I use hobbit
[08:48] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: awesome! i'm going to try it now
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  http://www.ws4gl.org/
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> WebcamStudio For GNU/Linux creates a virtual webcam that can mix several video sources together
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> It has some real neat features. You can broadcast your desktop, then switch to your face. then to a movie, or other source real fast.
[08:49] <kalmosx> this sounds like an awesome tool :D
[08:50] <rileyp> no sound in firefox flashplayer help please
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  one main feaure i recall. it it can get webcams that flash cant 'see' to work with flash.
[08:50] <Blue1> rileyp: 32 bit or 64 bit?
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  the inteface is a little odd.. but not to hard to figure out
[08:51] <rileyp> Blue 1 10.04 lucid 32 bit
[08:51] <rileyp> Blue1 10.04 lucid 32 bit
[08:52] <Blue1> rileyp: okay let me get my netbook brb
[08:52] <rileyp> Blue1 Its an asrock ion front end mythv has sound and xbmc has sound
[08:53] <trijntje> Hi all, how can I fake giving virtualbox a blank CD/DVD?
[08:53] <rileyp> Blue1 and vlc has sound now Ive set it to hdmi in the vlc setings
[08:53] <Blue1> rileyp: please prepend message to me with my nick, thanks.  I am not understanding.  You have no sound at all, or you have no sound with firefox?
[08:54] <rileyp> Blue1 no sound with firefox
[08:55] <Blue1> rileyp: please prepend messages with my nick or I will be unable to help you.
[08:55] <rileyp> Blue1 no sound in firefox only is what I am doing wrong Blue1
[08:56] <funh> is an ssh server pre installed with 10.4?
[08:56] <jussi> funh: no
[08:56] <jussi> funh: sudo apt-get install ssh
[08:56] <Blue1> rileyp: try auto-complete.  try typing in blu then hit the tab key
[08:57] <jussi> funh: the client is, but not the server
[08:57] <rileyp> Blue1,  ok
[08:57] <ipunk> how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs it really sounds very bad?
[08:57] <Blue1> ipunk: use headphones (really)
[08:58] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: this is great! works just as you said
[08:58] <ipunk> the problem is not in the speakers my laptop is connected to a hifi
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  yea. You can stgream a video to your friends and chat with them at the same time
[08:58] <Blue1> rileyp: you should have a file called libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  some of the GUI is odd. and not clear like whats a 'animation' source vs a actual video..
[08:59] <Blue1> rileyp: so let's do a reality check and make sure it's there
[08:59] <ipunk> the problem is that the quality of the sound is very bad sometimes
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  heh. I am now streaming a video. with the weather report on top of it. :)
[08:59] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: dude, sweet
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  whats amuseing.. its a java app.. but its aparently not ported to windows
[09:00] <sreerajc> Hi
[09:00] <rileyp> Blue1,  flash is installed and working just no sound  /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer: Is a directory
[09:00] <Matsy> Hello! :)
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i DO notice that my colors in my videos are wrong. like the red/green/blue are shifted or somthing. BUtg live cam feed is not
[09:01] <rileyp> Blue1,   sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autormove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[09:01] <Blue1> rileyp: correct let's see if the libflashplayer.so is there.
[09:01] <Blue1> rileyp: okay I'm done.
[09:01] <sreerajc> Picasa taking too much time to load why?
[09:02] <sreerajc> How can i install a .sh file?
[09:02] <Matsy> I'm just going to ask a question right away: How do I install a different kernel on Ubuntu? I need <IP_ADDRESS>, apparently. It seems like installing a different kernel is dangerous enough, so I really don't want to screw it up.
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  try using a video file as your source. and see if the colors are correct. This is the 2nd pc now ive seen the colors be wrong
[09:02] <rileyp> Blue1,  flash is working just no sound I need to set my default sound output device to the hdmi port somehow
[09:02] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: will do, just a moment
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> sreerajc:  what is this sh file exactly? it can depend  on what its isntalling
[09:03] <rileyp> Blue1 Me thinks if i plugged in speakers to 1/4 inch jack I would have sound
[09:03] <trijntje> !kernel | Matsy
[09:04] <Matsy> Thanks, haha.
[09:05] <funh> jussi: thank you
[09:05] <jussi> np
[09:07] <Matsy> Hm.
[09:07] <Matsy> When reading this. I have this one question. I don't want to use the kernel. I just need it to compile something. Would this guide still apply?
[09:07] <rileyp> how can I set default audio output to hdmi
[09:08] <rileyp> Im using lucid and get no sound from flashplayer
[09:08] <rileyp> flash works sfine other than no sound. I have sound in mythtv ,vlc and xbmc
[09:08] <sreerajc> Sorry, does anyone know server for English language
[09:09] <rileyp> server is server in english
[09:11] <sreerajc> rileyp, I mean server to learn English
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> Learning English over IRC is sort of like me learning Japaneese by watching ANIME....
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> sreerajc:  you may want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic  they may have some suggestions.
[09:12] <chris_osx> rileyp: do you mean a irc server?
[09:12] <sreerajc> Dr_Willis, k,thnx
[09:13] <chris_osx> sorry i mean sreerajc
[09:13] <rww> sreerajc: try the ##english channel on this server
[09:13] <chris_osx> or learn german
[09:13] <sreerajc> Chr|s, yes
[09:14] <akios> hi, is there a way to get Battlefield bad company 2 running with ubuntu?
[09:15] <Espen-_-> cant get my server to boot
[09:15] <Espen-_-> http://paste.ubuntu.com/489121/
[09:17] <Espen-_-> Have runned fsck, tried different kernels
[09:17] <JoshuaL> try setting your hardware clock?
[09:18] <Espen-_-> looked over my fstab
[09:18] <Espen-_-> JoshuaL: this is a linode. So I dont have access to the hw clock
[09:18] <Espen-_-> But I have opened a ticket with them.
[09:18] <Espen-_-> Cant even do hwclock --show. Returns nothing
[09:18] <om26er> I had nvidia on this system. today I pulled it out and now system does not start
[09:19] <om26er> now I am in failsafe gnome
[09:19] <ikonia> om26er: you'll need to reconfigure your xorg
[09:19] <om26er> ikonia, something like dpkg-reconfigure?
[09:19] <ikonia> om26er: what have you replaced the nvidia card with ?
[09:19] <om26er> ikonia, the built in intel
[09:20] <ikonia> om26er: ok, so you need to edit the xorg.conf file and remove the "driver nvidia" line, or better still, remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let X auto detect it all again
[09:20] <ezrafree> hello
[09:20] <AnxiousNut> morning all!
[09:21]  * om26er reboots
[09:21] <ezrafree> ever since i've updated ubuntu my mx5000 mouse/keyboard combo has been dropping connection after a short while
[09:21] <ezrafree> any ideas?
[09:21] <ipunk> how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs it really sounds very bad?
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> thats a bluetooth moude ezrafree ?
[09:22] <ezrafree> yes Dr_Willis
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> ipunk:  just some? anything differnt about those? differnt format? type of muzak?
[09:22] <ipunk> no dif style of music thats all
[09:22] <ikonia> oh
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> ezrafree:  never used a BT mouse/keyboard so i cant help.  You may want to check teh forums see if others have same issue
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> ezrafree:  this was a 9.04 -> 10.04 upgrade? or just  a recent 10.04 update?
[09:24] <ipunk> me thinks this is a driver problem
[09:25] <ipunk> the hifi is fine Im playing with the 3.5 mm audio cable its connectteed to my laptop is fine too
[09:25] <ipunk> and I certainly didin't have that bad quality on w7
[09:26] <__good_day_> Hello friends, I am trying to install ubuntu as guest using vmware. I had issue with the installation, after the minimum installtion the setup reboots the guest OS(ubuntu 10.01.1) and then a purple screen appears. After that login prompt comes. What to do now ?
[09:26] <codebrainz> hi.  I've lost the ability in Nautilus to right click and open files (in a text editor for example) and also the option to choose which program the file opens with is gone.  anyone know how to get this back?
[09:28] <codebrainz> __good_day_, pick your username, enter your password and press Enter
[09:28] <om26er> ikonia, now the situation changed. the system does not start directly but if I go to recovery mode sudo gdm starts gdm fine
[09:28] <om26er> with 3d working
[09:28] <ipunk> cmon guys youre telling me that i cant listen songs with more bass on my acer with ubuntu ???
[09:28] <ikonia> om26er: did you do what I told you to do ?
[09:29] <om26er> ikonia, yes deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:29] <__good_day_> codebrainz: login incorrect.
[09:29] <ikonia> om26er: this is ubuntu 10.04 right ?
[09:29] <om26er> ikonia, yes
[09:29] <th0r> I just installed lucid to a dell laptop. The usb mouse was working perfectly until I installed the updates. lsusb shows the mouse properly, but the mouse no longer moves the cursor. I have added 'acpi=force irqpoll' to grub per the forum post, but that didn't help.
[09:29] <ikonia> om26er: ok, so when you start it in normal mode what happens ?
[09:30] <om26er> ikonia, tty
[09:30] <ikonia> om26er: you need to check the Xorg logs then to find out why it's not starting at boot time
[09:30] <om26er> ikonia, then if I enter user name and password and then sudo gdm does not start gdm
[09:30] <codebrainz> __good_day_, did you setup a user during install?
[09:31] <ikonia> om26er: you need to check the logs to see what it's not happy about
[09:31] <om26er> ikonia, where are the logs?
[09:31] <ikonia> om26er: also make %100 certain /etc/X11/Xorg.conf is not there
[09:32] <om26er> yes not there
[09:32] <Jordan_U> ipunk: I'm betting that the files that sound horrible only sound that way because the files are broken. Many players simply ignore gain settings that seem too absurd which is why they would sound normal in other players.
[09:34] <ipunk> i tryed dling the song w\from 3 dif sources
[09:34] <ipunk> and tryed playing it with dif players
[09:34] <svip> lol, all these guides for Ubuntu on a Mac are terrible; none of them mentions how to boot from a CD on a Mac.
[09:34] <ipunk> the song is more electro or techno is the sound quality is ....
[09:34] <chris_osx> svip: press C
[09:34] <pozic> What's the name of the application that shows the network connection?
[09:34] <ikonia> svip: `if you own a mac it should be known
[09:34] <chris_osx> on startup
[09:34] <svip> ikonia: Apparently not for all.
[09:35] <pozic> I also would like to know the name of the container that contains this applet.
[09:35] <pozic> Ah, I think it was nm-applet.
[09:35] <svip> chris_osx: Well, it took me a while to dig that information up.
[09:35] <svip> It wouldn't hurt to include it in the guides; just sayin'.
[09:37] <pozic> Humans are not born with knowledge about either OSX or Ubuntu. Since Ubuntu is for human beings, it should be in the guides or there should be a reference to something which does explain it. Not that I use a Mac.
[09:37] <Jordan_U> ipunk: Could you give an example file that sounds bad?
[09:38] <itbcn8> pozic, you can't find a good install reference for a mac?
[09:41] <Jordan_U> ipunk: Have you tried using mp3gain?
[09:41] <pozic> itbcn8: it was not my problem.
[09:41] <pozic> itbcn8: and I didn't even search.
[09:42] <pozic> itbcn8: I could probably find it, if I wanted it.
[09:42] <ipunk> mp3gain?
[09:42] <Tweaky> anyone know how to turn on usb support? theres no icon for it in the lower right corner. some things i read suggested adding permissions to the vbox user group or something to that effect, but no group named that exists
[09:42] <Tweaky> in virtualbox sorry
[09:42] <RCP> Tweaky Bios
[09:42] <ikonia> Tweaky: the open source virtual box does not have usb support
[09:42] <itbcn8> ya pozic, because they have REALLY detailed step by step instructions, for every macbook make and model
[09:42] <ikonia> Tweaky: only the full version does
[09:43] <Tweaky> oh!
[09:43] <Jordan_U> ipunk: It's a piece of software for modifying an mp3 files gain settings.
[09:43] <Tweaky> so it has to be purchased to have that function?
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> Tweaky:  no - its a free download.
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> Tweaky:  its just differnt then the ones in the repos.
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> !virtualbox
[09:45] <mast`> Dr_Willis: for future reference, opening a new terminal with tabs & processes is done with --tab -e "process1" --tab -e "process 2" :)
[09:45] <Tweaky> so if i get it from the vbox site that one has the support for usb?
[09:45] <Tweaky> nvm u just answered
[09:45] <Jordan_U> ipunk: Make a copy of one of the bad files and try running "mp3gain -a -k /path/to/song.mp3" then play the modified file.
[09:46] <ipunk> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iijrhUzYGPM
[09:46] <ipunk> it sounds bad in youtube too
[09:47] <ipunk> the sound just isn't clean the way it was on w7
[09:47] <Chr|s> !upgrade
[09:47] <ikonia> ipunk: your audio controller may just have a poor kernel module
[09:48] <ipunk> it sounds just fine on w7
[09:48] <ikonia> ipunk: yes but you're not using windows 7, hence why I said it may just have a poor kernel module
[09:48] <ipunk> kernel doesn't say much to me Im afraid ;(
[09:49] <ikonia> ipunk: kernel is basically the linux "driver manager"
[09:49] <ipunk> is there anyway i fix this I have acer 5738 ZG
[09:49] <ikonia> ipunk: what is your audio controller, that's the real question
[09:49] <ipunk> acer aspire 5738zg*
[09:49] <__good_day_> codebrainz: When I configure virtual machine in vmware, I entered username/pass. I tried that and it is working. Thank you. The installation process didnt ask anything performs - installing additional components, network detect, dhcp configration, settingup clock, formatting partition, installing base system.
[09:50] <ipunk> ikonia:  how do I check whats my audio controller?
[09:50] <ikonia> ipunk: check your hardware specs (back in 5 minutes)
[09:50] <__good_day_> codebrainz: I got into linux prompt after login. Its command prompt, how to get graphical screen. do I need to install anything for start. Startx is not working.
[09:50] <pie_time> when trying to play a radio station on ubuntu i get "Please enter a valid login name and password for realm (null)". I have no idea what I'm supposed to enter. Could anyone please tell me?
[09:50] <pie_time> VLC
[09:51] <ipunk> how do i check what hardware i has on ubuntu???
[09:52] <codebrainz> __good_day_, which install CD did you use?
[09:52] <codebrainz> ipunk, you can use the hwinfo utility
[09:52] <RCP> Can Someone point me to a howto install active directory on ubuntu 10.04?
[09:52] <__good_day_> codebrainz: ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso, running i3 processor
[09:53] <DoubleString> hey all
[09:53] <ipunk> codebrainz:  please tell the exact instuction second day on ubuntu
[09:53] <codebrainz> __good_day_, did you install "command line only" system?
[09:53] <__good_day_> codebrainz: No, it didnt ask anything and install on its own. I am not sure where to do the required setting
[09:54] <codebrainz> ipunk, 'apt-get install hwinfo' and then 'man hwinfo' for instructions
[09:55] <codebrainz> __good_day_, try 'apt-get install xorg ubuntu-desktop'
[09:56] <ahox> Hi, is there a way to find out how many ram modules are installed without openin the case?
[09:56] <codebrainz> ipunk, there's some really good gui tools for this as well, but i can't remember any names
[09:56] <ahox> /proc/meminfo does not have this info
[09:56] <pie_time> when trying to play a radio station on VLC i get "Please enter a valid login name and password for realm (null)". I have no idea what I'm supposed to enter. Could anyone please tell me?
[09:57] <ipunk> codebrainz:  thx i has the hardware listed in mah termianl now
[09:57] <__good_day_> codebrainz: it needs administrative priviliges to execute the command. I am loggin in as ubuntu@ubuntu. I havenot entered anywhere the root password while installation or configuring the virtual machine. Any way i get login as root or run su command.
[09:58] <__good_day_> codebrainz: any default root password
[09:58] <codebrainz> __good_day_, sudo apt-get install ...
[09:59] <codebrainz> __good_day_, it sounds like you're running the live system though and not the installed one, you should've been asked to setup a user
[09:59] <pie_time> IT SAYS HTTP AUTHENTICATION AT THE TOP OF THE BOX
[10:00] <th0r> ahox: free will show memory
[10:00] <__good_day_> codebrainz: ooh.. Yes, How to make sure I am running live system. Also your command works and I have been asked to install a lot of packages of around 2 GB.
[10:00] <ahox> th0r, thnx, however I am interested in the number of installed modules... I just found the command lshw, maybe this one is helpfull
[10:01] <codebrainz> __good_day_, it will all be for nothing if you're running the live system
[10:01] <ipunk> ikonia:                         Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
[10:01] <codebrainz> __good_day_, probably easier just to reinstall using the Desktop CD
[10:02] <pie_time> anyone!?
[10:03] <th0r> pie_time: you get that when the server does not respond....there is nothing to enter...it is a bogus prompt
[10:03] <umc> guys, if I do a tail -f /var/log/messages, I get "rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="969" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'". any idea what that means ? google didn't help
[10:03] <pie_time> th0r, then how do i access this station ive accessed 5 times before with no problem?
[10:04] <umc> that command lightweight doesn't exist
[10:04] <__good_day_> codebrainz: I got you, Instead of downloading desktop one, I have downloaded alternate iso image. Let me download the desktop and install again. Thank you a Lot..
[10:04] <th0r> pie_time: it is probably either busy or offline. Sometimes you can get in by trying several times, but sometimes the server is just offline
[10:04] <pie_time> ok
[10:04] <pie_time> thanks
[10:05] <__good_day_> codebrainz: downloading http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso image now.
[10:05] <datune> What's the preffered method to have a script execute on startup of a server?
[10:05] <codebrainz> __good_day_, yep, it should be much friendlier if you are kinda new
[10:06] <codebrainz> datune, you can add a call to it in /etc/rc.local iirc
[10:08] <datune> What if I write a script named FOO, which executes the real script, put that in /etc/init.d/ and then do update-rc.d FOO defaults, wouldn't that be a better option?
[10:09] <codebrainz> datune, i guess, it depends what the script is doing and when you want it to run
[10:10] <datune> codebrainz: It's a monitoring tool for MySQL Servers (called MONyog)
[10:10] <codebrainz> datune, only reason i say rc.local is because it runs last afaik
[10:11] <datune> codebrainz: Really, I just want to make sure that if the machine is rebooted, MONyog is started
[10:11] <Naznaz> hi, I installed http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+sunrise+plymouth?content=129696 but it is only in greyscales on startup, what can I do about that?
[10:11] <datune> codebrainz: I see. Thanks a lot!
[10:12] <akios> blubb o.O
[10:12] <akios> Is there a way to get Battlefield bad company 2 running with Ubuntu or no chance?
[10:12] <DjAngo23> Hello everyone, i have a local server with dnsmasq on it, and it is working great with the window scomputer in my environment. But the mac and mainly the Ubuntu computer are not working via that dns:   I configured my DNS IP /etc/resolv.conf and did sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
[10:12] <DjAngo23> If i ping a subdomain it just doesn' t work.
[10:13] <DjAngo23> On the PC' s it is working
[10:13] <chickamade> hello, has some one this this prob? My apt-* is getting stuck on this, e.g.
[10:13] <chickamade> sudo apt-get check
[10:13] <chickamade> Reading package lists... Done
[10:13] <chickamade> Building dependency tree... 50%
[10:13] <FloodBot3> chickamade: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> Hmm, i dont recall ever using the apt-get check command...
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> somthing to add to my notes.
[10:16] <DjAngo23> Any ideas guys ?
[10:16] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, it happens for other apt-*, aptitude or GUI
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> chickamade:  i wonder if thers not a currupted file in /var/cache/apt
[10:16] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, it just got stuck at 50% and going nowhere
[10:17] <ipunk> ikonia:                         Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> chickamade:  you could clean out the files in /var/cache/apt BUT some of those are required for apt to work. so dont just delete them.
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> apt can get very mad if some of the dirs/files in /var/cache/apt are not there
[10:19] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: i can't really get webcamstudio to stream video, it just hangs
[10:19] <kalmosx> but at least i can finally flip my video
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i did see some mention of being needed to be added to a video group when i ran it the first time.
[10:19] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: so i can't test it for you, sorry :(
[10:20] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: yeah, not sure what to do about that
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i just add a video file source and look at the preview is all i did
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  use the system admin users tool and check the groups
[10:20] <DjAngo23> Back online. Some network issues
[10:20] <DjAngo23> I have a local server with dnsmasq on it, and it is working great with the window scomputer in my environment. But the mac and mainly the Ubuntu computer are not working via that dns:   I configured my DNS IP /etc/resolv.conf and did sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  select the user, advanced settings, theres a check box for video.
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  ive never actually had anyone connect to my webcam/webcamstudio. ive only watched the previews - so for all i know - it dosent work at all. :)
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  got to log out/back in to change the groups. Brb
[10:23] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: after adding myself, it still shows the message :/
[10:23] <kalmosx> ah ok
[10:23] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, I moved pkgcache.bin to pkgcache.bin.bak, and apt-* seems happy BUT when I issue an install command it seemed to forget that coreutils, udev, and friends are installed
[10:24] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: i admire your patience and good will, goodnight :)
[10:24] <chickamade> Dr_Willis: not sure if I should continue
[10:25] <chickamade> is there a way to tell APT to regenerate its cache?
[10:26] <Naznaz> hi, I installed the splashscreen from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+sunrise+plymouth?content=129696 but it is only in greyscales on startup, what can I do about that?
[10:27] <Error404NotFound> http://pastebin.com/AhZbfvDK is this a valid bind zone definition? specially the MX part? Upon "dig mx domain.com" it gives "domain.com. 14400 IN MX 10 <IP_ADDRESS>.domain.com." which i don't think is right
[10:28] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: ask in #dbs
[10:28] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: ask in #dns
[10:28] <Error404NotFound> #dns
[10:29] <Error404NotFound> ikonia, tried in #bind with no luck
[10:30] <ezrafree> what should i do if i don't have a /etc/default/bluetooth ...should i just create one or is there something i should install?
[10:30] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, it seems /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin is corrupted, but if I moved it away, APT and dpkg would seem to lose all memory of installed pacakges
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> chickamade:  yea. Not sure what to do.
[10:30] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: ok - it's still nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:30] <Error404NotFound> ikonia, may be if dns is hosted on an ubuntu box :P
[10:31] <voob_of_doom> anybody knows some app that gives graphical representation of disk usage?
[10:31] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: no
[10:31] <Error404NotFound> ikonia, i was just kidding, peace :)
[10:31] <sometux> can't get the youtube plugin in totem to work?
[10:32] <diverse_izzue> voob_of_doom, baobab
[10:32] <voob_of_doom> diverse_izzue: thanks
[10:32] <diverse_izzue> voob_of_doom, Applications->accessories->disk usage analyzer
[10:33] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, apt-* seems happy if I moved it away, it regenerate one that is about the same size 14MB (but diff says they're not the same)
[10:33] <DjAngo23>  Hello everyone, i have a local server with dnsmasq on it, and it is working great with the window scomputer in my environment. But the mac and mainly the Ubuntu computer are not working via that dns:   I configured my DNS IP /etc/resolv.conf and did sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
[10:35] <sometux> Totem youtube-plugin doesn't work, why?
[10:35] <ikonia> DjAngo23: what happens when you try to do an nslookup
[10:35] <boywonder> hi,can anyone tell me what:- unable to find a medium containing a live file system means?
[10:36] <ikonia> boywonder: in what context
[10:36] <boywonder> my gparted wont run
[10:36] <ezrafree> how can i tell what version of ubuntu i'm on?
[10:36] <ikonia> boywonder: are you running from a livecd ?
[10:36] <ikonia> ezrafree: lsb_release -a
[10:36] <boywonder> a usb
[10:36] <boywonder> live
[10:37] <boywonder> i get a debian live error
[10:37] <ikonia> boywonder: Hmmmm what shouldn't be a problem, but to me it suggests it' can't write to the live filesystem
[10:37] <ikonia> boywonder: what version of ubuntu ?
[10:37] <DjAngo23> ikonia, nslookup gives my the correct IP
[10:37] <boywonder> 10.4
[10:37] <ikonia> DjAngo23: then your dns is working on the desktop
[10:37] <ezrafree> ikonia: thanks
[10:38] <boywonder> im dual booting?
[10:38] <ikonia> boywonder: what does that have to do with anything
[10:38] <DjAngo23> ikonia,  i know the problem
[10:38] <sometux> I have problem playing youtube videos in Totem 2.30.2, any ideas?
[10:38] <DjAngo23> i named my server local
[10:38] <DjAngo23> Anbd that creates a conflict
[10:38] <boywonder> anyway what could it be?
[10:39] <ikonia> boywonder: I've just suggested the problem
[10:39] <boywonder> where is the live file system?
[10:39] <ikonia> boywonder: it should be on your usb
[10:40] <deploy> Im looking for a network interface monitor which can tell me total data usage over a period of time (month). Any suggest one?
[10:40] <ikonia> deploy: cacti ?
[10:40]  * deploy looks
[10:40] <Matsy> Wow, how could wubi have modified my bios settings
[10:41] <boywonder> ikonia,  so it could be i havnt got the live cd in order?
[10:41] <Matsy> Completely changed the boot sequence.
[10:41] <tasslehoff> where does "uname -a" take it's info from? /boot?
[10:42] <ikonia> tasslehoff: from the running ker el
[10:42] <ikonia> kernel
[10:43] <tasslehoff> ikonia: hm. does grub take the kernel from /boot?
[10:43] <tasslehoff> by default
[10:44] <tasslehoff> ikonia: I installed 32-bit Ubuntu, but uname -a says x86_64. It failed installing grub and used an old /boot from my previous 64-bit install
[10:45] <sometux> how to make nautilus to display the location path in buttons instead of a text box?
[10:46] <itbcn8> ctrl L

[10:47] <ct529> hi guys!
[10:47] <ct529> I have some difficultie sin setting out an alternative outgoing server on evolution. Is that even possible? I have one server that I use in the office (the main one), but when I am at home I need to use a different one.
[10:48] <Naznaz> I installed a spashsreen but that is only displayed in black/white on startup. What can I do about that?
[10:48] <ikonia> tasslehoff: your running 64bit
[10:48] <ct529> I cannot access any other outgoing server from the office (the block the protocol) and I cannot access the office server at home (again, the block the protocol)
[10:48] <ct529> any help?
[10:49] <algnod> Hi, I would like to help test 10.10beta and I am running into some issues, is someone here who could help?
[10:49] <Doyle> ct529: talk to your office tech dept
[10:49] <ct529> Doyle: and say what?
[10:49] <Doyle> ct529: get some vpn action going
[10:49] <itbcn8> algnod: what sort of problems
[10:49] <ct529> Doyle: nope, it slows everything down
[10:49] <ct529> Doyle: I would like to configure an alternative outgoing server
[10:50] <Doyle> ct529: vpn is used to assure security. A company will not allow alternate connection methods to be employed. Read the IT policy I'm sure it's mentioned in there that any attempt to breach network security has severe repercussions
[10:51] <ct529> Doyle: I need to set up an alternative outgoing server when I use the laptop from home for personal use
[10:51] <rww> algnod: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for Maverick questions and support, try there :)
[10:52] <ct529> Doyle: it is fine with our IT department
[10:52] <algnod> thanks rww
[10:52] <Doyle> ct529: all access to your corporate network will have to be handled by the companies IT dept. If there's a sever involved get themt o set it up and tell you how to establish a connection.
[10:53] <Doyle> ct529: if you have a more specific question than how to connect to a corporate network from home...
[10:57] <ct529> Doyle: you did not read qhat I said .... I need to set up an alternative outgoing server when I use the laptop from home for PERSONAL use .... it is perfectly FINE with my IT department (I checked with them) .... there is only one simple technical question: hwo do I set up an alternative outgoing server in evolution under ubuntu 10.04?
[10:58] <Doyle> ct529: ok, lets try this again. I have issues with people trying to circumnavigate network security... years of compromised networks has made me freak out at the idea of it
[10:59] <ct529> Doyle: look, it is not a security issue .... it is the fact that I cannot find the way of configuring an alternative outgoing server on evolution in ubuntu 10.04 for personal use .... in what way is that related to a security issue????
[10:59] <Baram2> anyone know anything about the latest kernel update breaking logitech wireless mouse/keybards?
[11:00] <Doyle> ct529: What is the connection for? Mail primarily I assuem
[11:02] <Baram2> just updated kernel (to 2.6.32-24) on 10.04, now my logitech MX wireless mouse/keyboard will not function.  Pulling the USB key and putting back makes it prompt to grant/reject access to some long string of numbers... any idea what's going on?
[11:03] <ct529> Doyle: it is just an outgoing server (smtp) on evolution to send emails, my personal, private emails, that should not go through the company outgoing smtp server
[11:03] <Doyle> ct529: ok lovely. you have it's public ip address?
[11:03] <boywonder> what would live medium path be set to for gparted on usb?
[11:03] <ct529> Doyle: of whom?
[11:04] <Doyle> ct529: to connect to the company server you have to have either it's IP address or its web address
[11:05] <Doyle> ct529: it'll look something like <IP_ADDRESS> or http://company.com/exchange or something
[11:05] <ct529> Doyle: I am saying I do NOT want to connect to the company's address .... I want to connect to an alternative smtp server, that I can choose when I send personal emails  .... exactly as it works in other email clients, like kmail!
[11:05] <umc-work> can I disable everything that has to do with sound ? drivers, etc ? I don't use sound on a computer, and I want to check if that's causing problem with a general protection fault
[11:07] <Doyle> ct529: ok, so you have the server setup already, does it have an external ip address taht you can ping at home? If you're not going to be tunneling into the company network via vpn, it has to ahve a public ip address
[11:07] <ct529> Doyle: yes I have that
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> umc-work:  you could rmmod the sound card modules.
[11:08] <Baram2> anyone?
[11:08] <Doyle> ct529: and you have the username and password for the mailbox that's setup on the server?
[11:08] <Doyle> Baram2: huh? mouse?
[11:08] <ct529> Doyle: yep
[11:09] <Doyle> ct529: ok, can you ping the ip address?
[11:09] <Doyle> ct529: we'll start with the basics
[11:09] <ct529> Doyle: yep
[11:09] <Baram2> yes, updated kernel from repos, now my mouse and keyboard do not work
[11:09] <Doyle> ct529: ok, what happens when you plug in all the settings into your amil client exactly? Are you getting an error?
[11:09] <Baram2> a few times it prompted me to grant access for them, I did, it asked again, I did... now it doesn't ask and doesn't do anything
[11:09] <Doyle> Baram2: ah fun... just a minute
[11:10] <Baram2> looks just like this: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454549
[11:10] <umc-work> Dr_Willis: can that be reversed ? do you know any docs that explain how to do that ? I never dealt with stuff like this. I know the codek is Realtek ALC889A. it's an intel sound card
[11:10] <ct529> Doyle: nope, it happens that I have to set a completely new account, whilst I want to use it with the same account
[11:10] <Baram2> but their fix is talking about netbook remix and some omnibox(or something) module, neither of which I'm dealing with
[11:11] <ct529> Doyle: one account, two alternative smtp servers .... exactly as in kmail / kontatct
[11:11] <Matsy> I am having an issue while building kernel <IP_ADDRESS>. I'm doing make oldconfig && make prepare, but it's giving me the following erros:
[11:12] <Matsy> The error the command make oldconfig && make prepare is giving me is as follows: make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'.  Stop.
[11:12] <ct529> Doyle: In the tab sending emails I only find the way on setting one smtp server for one account
[11:12] <Matsy> It's a tad weird.
[11:13] <sweetpi> ct529: just add a new account without incoming server, only your alternate smtp server. then when you create mail just choose the "From" dropdown
[11:13] <Doyle> ct529: thats right, typically it's one account/one smtp server. You can add multiple accounts to an email client and setup folders for each, or dump all mail into one
[11:13] <ct529> Doyle: is thatv the only solution?
[11:13] <Naznaz> I installed the splashscreen from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=129696&forumpage=1 but it is only grey for me. Any idea?
[11:13] <Doyle> ct529: sweetpi 's suggestion is solid, if the program will accept it with empty fields
[11:14] <sweetpi> ct529: choose incoming server type "None"
[11:14] <ct529> Doyle: sweetpi: so evolution doe snot actually allow for alternative smtp servers in the same account? that is the reason why I did not find any documentation on google or on th evolution sever
[11:14] <snoy_ms> hey all. I installed a fresh ubuntu server. now i cant use apt http://pastebin.com/BuTknewE
[11:15] <snoy_ms> sorry its germany. At the top are my source and then the erros when using apt-get update
[11:15] <sweetpi> ct529: not that I know of, but I dont use it. I just opened it cause I was tired of you two arguing :p
[11:15] <tasslehoff> ikonia: yep, but the issue is that the install didn't touch the /boot partition. so it loads a 64-bit kernel, but my everything in my install expects 32-bit
[11:15] <tasslehoff> I need to reinstall /boot
[11:16] <ct529> sweetpi: what do you use?
[11:16] <Doyle> Baram2: are you on 2.6.32-24?
[11:16] <snoy_ms> never saw this before.....NODATA 1 NODATA 2 signature !??!
[11:16] <Baram2> doyle yes
[11:16] <Doyle> Baram2: revert
[11:16] <Baram2> doyle: 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[11:17] <Doyle> Baram2: revert for now, let them fix it, then update it later
[11:17] <Baram2> Doyle yeah... small problem there, ESC key on my keyboard is broken, can't get into GRUB menu

[11:17] <Doyle> Baram2: borrow a keyboard from a friend/neighbor when you have a chance
[11:17] <Baram2> doyle there's no work around on this at all?  I could just comment it out in the menu.lst
[11:18] <ct529> sweetpi: I actually did not argue, just asked a question .... does thunderbird allow for alternative smtp servers on the same account? I just migrated from KDE to GNOME becaus ethis is what everybody else was using, but I feel constrained by evolution
[11:18] <Doyle> Baram2: you can try putting in a line 'pci=noacpi' and see fi that helps
[11:18] <snoy_ms> anyone can help me?
[11:18] <Baram2> doyle what's the issue?
[11:19] <Doyle> Baram2: ... your mouse doesn't work?
[11:19] <Naznaz> I installed the splashscreen from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=129696&forumpage=1 but it is only grey for me. Any idea?
[11:19] <Doyle> is this a trick question?
[11:19] <Baram2> doyle I know my mouse (and keyboard) don't work... I mean what's the problem with this kernel :P
[11:19] <Doyle> snoy_ms: wudup?
[11:19] <mujtaba> Hi any one here I need to discuss an issue with USB  internet drivers
[11:20] <snoy_ms> Doyle: http://pastebin.com/BuTknewE
[11:20] <snoy_ms> Doyle: installed a fresh ubuntu server.
[11:20] <Doyle> Baram2: ah, the problem is that several people have had this problem and no one has a fix
[11:20] <snoy_ms> Doyle: now i get errors when using apt-get update
[11:21] <sweetpi> ct529: yeah I understand, I didnt mean you were trying to argue. But someone took it as you were trying to get around a firewall. I knew you wasnt, but I didnt know how to do it in evolution... now I do :)
[11:21] <snoy_ms> Doyle: http://pastebin.com/NdsZ3rsK
[11:21] <Baram2> doyle you would think making sure keyboards and mice work would be a basic QA check before release :P
[11:21] <ct529> sweetpi: :-D .... what about thunderbird?
[11:21] <Baram2> doyle what else will pci=noacpi effect?
[11:21] <Doyle> Baram2: lol I know how you feel but they dont' have every piece of hardware to test with in development
[11:22] <sweetpi> ct529: thunderbird is basically the same way, except you have a list of outgoing servers and in the accounts you choose a default one
[11:22] <Doyle> Baram2: it disables the routing of acpi information on the system bus
[11:22] <Doyle> Baram2: Can't get into it, but sometimes it works magic
[11:22] <Baram2> doyle I tried two different wireless keyboards, by two very different manufacturers so... seems to be the same bluetooth issue that always crops up in a different manner, in the past it was simple enough to just unplug and replug
[11:24] <Doyle> snoy_ms: try this http://pastebin.com/ZMh3h9wD
[11:24] <linusoleander> Is it possible to watch a some files in a folder. If a something i change in the folder, a callback is being kicked on
[11:25] <Baram2> doyle: boot option did nothing
[11:25] <Doyle> Baram2: bluetooth, tell me one of those keyboards is a wired usb
[11:25] <Baram2> doyle: I have one old PS2 keyboard I keep around for when things just don't work, other than that I have 2 bluetooth sets, normally only one in use (synergy between the two systems)
[11:26] <snoy_ms> Doyle: same problem..... "GPG error:"
[11:26] <Doyle> Baram2: ok, how about this, teh grub list should have an entry for each version kernel available on your system, just select the old one as the default by manually editing it
[11:26] <ct529> sweetpi: I like that!
[11:27] <user> i
[11:27] <Doyle> snoy_ms: ah ok, got ya
[11:27] <Baram2> doyle was just about to reboot it again, after commenting out the new -24, which leaves the -22 I had before
[11:28] <Doyle> snoy_ms: run these in order
[11:28] <deploy> ikonia: Cacti looks good, but Im lost with configuring the network device. You able to help per chance?
[11:29] <Doyle> snoy_ms: 'apt-get clean'    'cd /var/lib/apt'   'mv lists lists.old'    'mkdir -p lists/partial'    'apt-get clean'   'apt-get update'
[11:29] <Doyle> Baram2: nice

[11:29] <Baram2> doyle guess I won't update my other computer today :P
[11:29] <whysoserious> Hey kiddos
[11:29] <kaozk_> Hi! can any one suggest  me how to change the ip address in ubuntu 10.04...
[11:29] <JohnHeikkila> Anyone know how to fix Google-Chrome's "Profile could not be opened"
[11:30] <whysoserious> I am asking for any help about Ethernet connection and DNS
[11:30] <Benwa> kaozk_, sudo ifconfig INTERFACE NEW_IP
[11:30] <azlon> what is the fastest way to transfer files from one PC to another? Gigabit ethernet? Is there a way to transfer from eSATA to eSATA?
[11:30] <red> how can I set my laptop CPU to be on full power always? it's never disconnected from power supply
[11:30] <Doyle> Baram2: better not to  lol
[11:30] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> how can I tell if the system I am on is 64bit or 32bit?
[11:30] <Benwa> kaozk_, for example : sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:30] <red> but each time I login the scheme goes to "on demand"
[11:30] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> uname -a doesn't realy help
[11:30] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> one says  x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:30] <JohnHeikkila> it's 64
[11:31] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> the other  i686 GNU/Linux
[11:31] <JohnHeikkila> 64
[11:31] <red> 686 = 32bit
[11:31] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> JohnHeikkila, I know. The SECOND ONE
[11:31] <JohnHeikkila> ohh
[11:31] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> so, camn I reliably assume the i686 is a 32bit system?
[11:31] <kaozk_> i will reply  after trying thanks in advance!!!
[11:31] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> is there a more definitive way?
[11:31] <snoy_ms> Doyle: it did it, same problem....http://pastebin.com/Ychp1xuv
[11:31] <ct529> sweetpi: thanks a lot for your help
[11:31] <JohnHeikkila> if 686 is 32 bit, what's the difference between i686 and i386?
[11:32] <red> age
[11:32] <JohnHeikkila> lol
[11:32] <hsr> Hello
[11:32] <red> i386 and i486 are the names of some really old Intel processors
[11:32] <hsr> Atlast back on my fav channel!
[11:32] <JohnHeikkila> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: Is your PC a laptop?
[11:32] <Flannel> JohnHeikkila: You remember 286, 386, 486, 586, etc?
[11:32] <sweetpi> ct529: yw
[11:32] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> JohnHeikkila, they are intel architectures for their chipsets, age, etc, see ubuntu having a 686 compile target, also though, see "how computers work" - what I want to know is, in WikiSpeak, WhyHasNobodyFixedThisSoICanFindOutWhatMachineThisServerIs?
[11:32] <Baram2> doyle umm... uname verifies I'm on -22, and I still get the same thing and the same error message...
[11:32] <red> the CPUs are still compatible with the old i386 binaries still
[11:32] <JohnHeikkila> Flannel: I don't think I'm old enough to remember
[11:32] <JohnHeikkila> kay
[11:32] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> JohnHeikkila, My mac is a wall mounted clock
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> Bummer. I can not get google chat/video to work with WebCamStudio :*(
[11:33] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> what is a "PC" and what is a Laptop, this is chunks of silicon we are talking about

[11:33] <JohnHeikkila> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: Talking about Desktop PC or Laptop
[11:33] <Doyle> snoy_ms: 'sudo aptitude -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update'  then do  'sudo apt-get update'
[11:33] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> they happen to be "somethings" on the other side of "tubes" so I can't turn them up side down to "check"
[11:33] <red> but: how can I set my laptop CPU to be on full power always? it's never disconnected from power supply? it's automaticly on demand each time i log in.
[11:33] <Doyle> Baram2: oh you're completely foobared
[11:33] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> JohnHeikkila, You have no context, you are out of your depth, let's go bowling
[11:33] <Flannel> JohnHeikkila: Alright, well, it was basically just the next revision.  So first we had 286, etc, etc.  So, the 386 version assumes you're at least using a 386.  The 686 assumes you're using at least a 686 (686 had some more features than 386, it makes use of those, and assumes you won't be using a processor without them)
[11:33] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> What command can I run?
[11:34] <Baram2> doyle wtf was in those updates...
[11:34] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> Flannel, any conclusive command I can tap tappity tap to get the bits?
[11:34] <JohnHeikkila> Ok
[11:34] <Doyle> Baram2: Narcotics and Jar-Jar Binks stickers
[11:35] <JohnHeikkila> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: You could try installing a 64 package and if it can't, then it's not 64bit
[11:35] <sweetpi> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo
[11:35] <snoy_ms> Doyle: now i get this http://pastebin.com/a08EjW4k
[11:35] <Doyle> Baram2: we may be able to assume it wasn't the kernel update, maybe something else
[11:35] <snoy_ms> Doyle: also errors
[11:36] <Baram2> doyle something in the last 4 days, was gone for the weekend and just did the updates when I got back
[11:36] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> sweetpi, same output on both

[11:36] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> wtf
[11:36] <JohnHeikkila> Hey I need some help with google chrome's "Your profile could not be opened correctly"

[11:37] <JohnHeikkila> lol
[11:38] <sweetpi> JohnHeikkila: yes, i didnt say it was the running kernel. I thought he was asking about his cpu
[11:38] <JohnHeikkila> sweetpi: Ohh, sorry

[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> jrib, a.out
[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> how can bash return No such file or directory

[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> HOW CAN SHE SLAP?
[11:39] <snoy_ms> Doyle: seems that it is a connection problem. "HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host"
[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> :-) but seriously, HOW? It is 2010, HOW?
[11:39] <Doyle> snoy_ms: give it an hour and try again, that's all I can tell ya from here
[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> jrib, a.out runs on serverA, not on serverB, bash just says: No such file or directory
[11:40] <snoy_ms> Doyle: oki doki, thanks so far
[11:40] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> How is that possible. That is the issue: ./a.out: No such file or directory
[11:40] <Doyle> snoy_ms: np, good luck
[11:40] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> protip: ls ./a.out works

[11:41] <Doyle> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: try ls -la
[11:41] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> that is it, nothing to pastebin...
[11:41] <kaozk_> Hi! how can i restart my network connection on ubuntu 10.04?!...
[11:41] <jrib> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: this channel is not a pastebin.
[11:41] <boywonder> help me man?
[11:41] <wikiik> i have just installed ubuntu in a pc, but i don't know why it doesn't get the ip address throw dhcp
[11:41] <wikiik> any idea how to force the dhcp to get the address?
[11:42] <snoy_ms> Doyle: i read something about firewall problems. "fetch error" seems to be a firewall block

[11:42] <gschwepp> kaozk_:     /etc/init.d/network-manager restart  ?
[11:43] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> jrib, I don't need to pastebin, there is nothing to pastebin, stop saying pastebin. It is simple: two binaries, one server, it works, second server, I get No such file or directory. Where is the pastebin there? In the same space to paste the pastebin url, I could paste the actual thing.
[11:43] <jrib> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: no you can't because I asked you for several things.
[11:43] <boywonder> can anyone help me with my gparted live boot usb?
[11:43] <mbrochh>  Hello all. Which linux commands are best suited to check if a file is empty
[11:44] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> aaaha, result of those commands
[11:44] <jrib> mbrochh: you could use du to check size I suppose
[11:44] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> I truncated your input
[11:44] <jrib> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: ok, but pastebin everything including the commands you are running each server at the same url as it's easier for me to manage multiple people that way
[11:44] <boywonder> or point me to a #?
[11:44] <HollyRain> .bzrignore file (bazaar), can be used comment lines? #
[11:45] <jrib> boywonder: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[11:45] <boywonder> i just dont get live media?
[11:45] <Baram2> doyle only other thing, besides programs I see is some libgu and udev...
[11:45] <jrib> HollyRain: try #bzr
[11:46] <gschwepp> boywonder: are you looking for a live usb stick? with ubuntu on it?
[11:46] <kaozk_> huh! that did not work it displays some error msg ! is there any other way to change the ip address and restart the network connection?!
[11:46] <boywonder> no that would be nice at a later stage though, im just trying to get gparted working on it?
[11:46] <snoy_ms> Doyle: is there a way to add the key thing without using the keyserver ?

Despite everything seeming to be okay upto and including wlan0 being able to negotiate an IP address and actually connect to the network, I've been unable to access any external server at all from that PC. Since then I got frustrated and did a clean install on /, however /home was on it's own partition and i left that untouched. The problem has persisted on an ot
[12:08] <hsr> Dr_Willis: What should be the application for apt contents in firefox?
[12:08] <CppIsWeird1> i want to make an image of a windows ntfs partition and save it to an external hard drive so that i can restore that partition later. is that possible?
[12:09] <julio-PE> Dr_Willis: for both Firefox is the default? i was read something about Chromium as default. it's wrong?
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  i nomrally save them , then use gdebi to install deb packages via the command line.  I think FF can assoircate deb's with gdebi also and can work
[12:09] <sometux> I have problem playing youtube videos in Totem, please help?

[12:11] <tarabaz> omg - does anybody know why my xchat is freezing on searching through channels?
[12:11] <tarabaz> :/
[12:11] <gschwepp> ost2life: your system, what and what your problem is what your goal is and a pastebin of right that you got there
[12:12] <gschwepp> tarabaz: #xchat or so?
[12:12] <tarabaz> yep
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> tarabaz:  becuse theres a LOT of channels
[12:13] <industrial> Howcome there is no Create Directory option in the menu when I right click on a folder in Nautilus in the List View? this is quite annoying. I have to create a folder in the main folder and then drag it somewhere in the tree.
[12:13] <tarabaz> that was a lame question, but i'm more familiar with irsii - just testing xchat right now. and i must say - in irsii there are no such freezes - think that i back to my beloved irsii :D
[12:13] <hsr> industrial: What directory you tried thaT?
[12:14] <gschwepp> tarabaz: s/irsii/irssi
[12:14] <industrial> hsr: any directory I right click in the tree view (list view in nautilus) doesn't let me create a new directory under that one. not one.
[12:14] <tarabaz> typing to fast ;)

[12:15] <Dr_Willis> industrial:  you have to click on a empty part of the file listing (and its sort of hard to find a good empty place) or use the menu item.  Then I rebooted, and when the system loaded, the wifi connected (including assigning me an IP) to the network, however I was unable to connect to any external server, no ping or HTTP request, nothing. HOWEVER, the computer is visible on the DCHP client list and I've checked all
[12:15] <gschwepp> ost2life: QUERY D
[12:15] <ost2life> query d?
[12:16] <jrib> jayeola: it's not from the official repositories?  Check its scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ to see what is going wrong
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel
[12:16] <ezrafree> Baram2: thank you! it worked. you're a genius!
[12:16] <industrial> Dr_Willis: well its where I expect it. if the menu item in the File menu does so for the main directory why can't a subdirectory right click menu do it for that subdirectory?
[12:17] <jayeola> jrib: thanks
[12:17] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Yes/.. that reset panel will help
[12:17] <industrial> Dr_Willis: I'd like to get somewhere with this. What's the best way to go to the creators of Nautilus? a mailing list somewhere or ticket system?
[12:17] <anezmk> Hey
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> industrial:  post the idea to the brainstorm site. You could make a nautilus script entry that could do it i imagine
[12:17] <hsr> industrial: Are you able to create in other views?
[12:17] <anezmk> Need some help?!
[12:17] <industrial> hsr: probably not
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> I got enought right click entries on my menus anyway
[12:17] <industrial> hsr: but it makes sense in a tree :)
[12:18] <hsr> industrial: Its most likely related to permissions else reset panel is required
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> with that nautilys-pyextensions tool you could add such an entry if you wanted industrial
[12:18] <anezmk> When I try to install dotnet20 with winetricks I get an error everytime!
[12:18] <hsr> industrial: Go to terminal and try 'gksudo nautilus'...are you able to create then?
[12:19] <sometux> Can anyone confirm Totem youtube plugin works in Lucid, its never worked for me?
[12:19] <industrial> hsr: its not file permissions, its an option I expected to be there but isn't in the nautilus interface :)
[12:19] <hsr> !info nautilys-pyextensions
[12:19] <anezmk> Help anu one?
[12:19] <anezmk> any even
[12:19] <hsr> !info nautilus-pyextensions
[12:19] <headkase314> !ask | anezmk
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> http://www.giuspen.com/nautilus-pyextensions/
[12:21] <anezmk> dotnet20 error Note: command 'wine reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework /v InstallRoot /f' returned status 1.  Aborting.
[12:21] <anezmk>  i'm typing sh winetricks dotnet20 please help?
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> I cant see much gain by a special menu item to make a subdir in a dirctory you are not in.. but whatever. :)
[12:21] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Yes..
[12:21] <fubarbundy> Hi boys and girls... sorry if I get any etiquette wrong in here, but I need some help with a GVFS problem...
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> anezmk:  try the winetricks homepage, and #winehq perhaps?   i dont recall using sh winetricks, just  ./winetricks whatever
[12:22] <jrib> jayeola: by the way, it's usually best to figure out what's going wrong and fix it rather than just commenting or destructively editing the script
[12:22] <fubarbundy> File associations have suddenly stopped working on GVFS mounts for non-GVFS-aware applications...
[12:23] <zetheroo1> has anyone had success with OpenMeeting in Ubuntu?
[12:23] <anezmk> Dr_Willis, Thx i'll try that
[12:23] <hsr> Dr_Willis: I've installed what you said regarding recording radio streams. Now what?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  run the program? figrue it out.. you never did state what radio stream
[12:24] <fubarbundy> I am getting:
[12:24] <fubarbundy> Could not display "[file]".
[12:24] <fubarbundy> There is no application installed for [filetype]
[12:24] <fubarbundy> Select Application/OK
[12:24] <FloodBot1> fubarbundy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:24] <headkase314> anezmk, here is some stuff to look through to make sure you have all the prerequisites set up correctly -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3754
[12:25] <boywonder> ok i know ive been told to go elsewhere just im havin no luck, what is noswap in menu.lst mean?
[12:25] <pfg> fubarbundy: google file extension then google ubuntu support for it and install
[12:25] <pfg> boywonder: virtual or "real" server
[12:26] <fubarbundy> pfg, thanks for your response but it's not a general association problem.
[12:26] <anezmk> headkase314, thx..
[12:26] <boywonder> pfg,  so if its set to noswap thats virtual
[12:26] <boywonder> ?
[12:26] <headkase314> anezmk, welcome, hope it helps.. ;)
[12:26] <pfg> boywonder: its a hint that it may be, some VPS (as opesed to VMWare IE containers) have that
[12:27] <fubarbundy> Only non-GFS apps (OOo, SMplayer etc.) are not 'recognised' by Nautilus
[12:27] <fubarbundy> If I copy the file locally it opens fine.
[12:27] <boywonder> im talking about menu.lst?
[12:27] <pfg> boywonder: your system or your renting it from a provider ?
[12:27] <fubarbundy> Been working fine up until 3 or 4 days ago.
[12:28] <boywonder> ok reeboot
[12:28] <pfg> boywonder: yes, no-swap is a normal trouble shooting option but since you have been hanging around and not solved shit yet I asume thats been said so look for other options
[12:28] <industrial> Dr_Willis: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25783/
[12:29] <hsr> Dr_Willis: I cannot find option to add stream and not even to record..
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  streamtuner has a record button.. if you can figure out your stream/radio url
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  it just calls streamripper with the proper options
[12:30] <mrbeany> I would like to disable all keyboard shortcuts, gnome, compiz, etc. Is there one program I can do this all from? And if not how could I go about it?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> streamtuner dosent seem to work right with Shoutcast any more. :(
[12:31] <pfg> mrbeany: system - prefrences - keyboard shortcuts , out of intrest why ?
[12:31] <soreau> mrbeany: If you did that, you wouldnt be able to even move, resize or focus your windows. What problem are you having exactly?
[12:32] <mrbeany> I have kidz that dont understand shortcuts
[12:32] <gryllida> how do I get a list of users of the os in cli?
[12:32] <mrbeany> they are playing and game and then all of a sudden the computer starts shutting down or something
[12:32] <pfg> mrbeany: if there desktop users then just disable any real shortcuts they may screw up with and edit the main menu to remove system menu
[12:32] <jrib> gryllida: depends on what exactly you want to do.  "ls /home" might be enough, if not, read /etc/passwd
[12:33] <fubarbundy> mrbeany - you might need compiz-config-settings-manager to disable all of Compiz's shortcuts too...
[12:33] <pfg> gryllida: type users
[12:33] <fubarbundy> (or dig around in gconf :)) )
[12:33] <tjubalauba> is there some nice X editor that has block select mode?
[12:33] <jrib> tjubalauba: gvim
[12:33] <pfg> fubarbundy: ture, never disabled all keyboard shortcuts, seems excessive
[12:33] <anezmk> headkase314, thx, it did it.. I had to run the exe file...
[12:33] <fubarbundy> And there will still be hard-coded stuff like the Delete key in Nautilus
[12:34] <soreau> tjubalauba: geany perhaps
[12:34] <headkase314> anezmk, awesome you're welcome glad I helped! ;) =)
[12:34] <mrbeany> I have ccsm, do  you know where I can see a list to disable them?
[12:34] <fubarbundy> Am I in the right channel to get some kind of expert help with GVFS?
[12:34] <fubarbundy> mrbeany, from memory they're scattered across each plugin's keybinding tabs
[12:34] <mrbeany> or do I have to configure each plugin seperatly?
[12:34] <mrbeany> fubarbundy: thanks
[12:35] <jrib> mrbeany: http://pastebin.com/08r39Vq2 is what I have in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0.  You could look into that (you'll have to read gtk docs).  You may be interested in gtk-enable-accels
[12:35] <gryllida> how do I change user's password in cli?
[12:35] <soreau> mrbeany: Ubuntu made it to where you cant disable some plugins, like move, resize and decoration
[12:36] <mrbeany> jrib: thanks will look into it
[12:36] <headkase314> gryllida, passwd command
[12:36] <gryllida> ok
[12:36] <jrib> mrbeany: that basically disables the shortcuts you see in the menus (the underlined keys)
[12:36] <mrbeany> soreau: I dont want to disable the plugins themselves, I just want to disable the shortcuts
[12:38] <soreau> mrbeany: then figure out whatever shortcut it is, then go to ccsm>preferences and click on the keyboard icon in the Filter box, then press the keybinding to see if its bound to anything in ccsm
[12:38] <red> argh
[12:38] <red> what was the name of the KDE control panel that could be installed on gnome?
[12:38] <AivarasKivilius> Do ubuntu 10.10 have own chanel?
[12:38] <soreau> mrbeany: note you will need sexy python installed for the keyboard icon to appear
[12:38] <soreau> ! maverick | AivarasKivilius
[12:39] <mrbeany> soreau: thanks, I think that it what I was looking for
[12:39] <AivarasKivilius> soreau, Thanks!
[12:39] <soreau> no problem ;)
[12:40] <ezrafree> what's the best way to set my time for my new timezone? it seems everytime i set it to Mountain time, next reboot it goes back to Eastern
[12:42] <mrbeany> soreau: I installed the python-sexy package but I dont see a keyboards button in ccsm?
[12:42] <soreau> mrbeany: in ccsm>Preferences, the button right above the Close button
[12:43] <brendan-k> "the beta is ready for your feedback" is written on the ubuntu homepage
[12:43] <soreau> mrbeany: err, actually it is in Advanced Search
[12:45] <brakim> Hi if i want the latest "nonbeta" veriosn of ubuntu and i want the dvd version and 64bit is ubuntu-10.04-dvd-amd64.iso the one i'am looking for?
[12:45] <mrbeany> soreau: hmm.. I cant see it, in either preferences or advanced search. So I updated all the related packages and I still cant see it
[12:45] <headkase314> brakim, you're better off downloading the cd version.  The dvd version mainly has language packs that you don't really need.  The cd image can be burnt and booted from dvd media if that is all you have.
[12:46] <soreau> mrbeany: It is a small icon in the Filter text box in advanced search
[12:46] <bubbles|> hi
[12:47] <mrbeany> soreau: aaahhhh yes I see, I was looking for something different. Thanks
[12:47] <bubbles|> why doesn't postfix respond to me any more if i telnet to localhost?
[12:47] <brakim> headkase314 it just that i only have dvd's at home
[12:47] <stealth_> Hello everyone. I am having trouble with amarok. I have tried all the guides I can find on the internet at the moment but I still cant get it to play through my usb headset. Anyone got any suggestions?
[12:48] <dr0id> how do I copy all the files from /var/www/folder1 to /var/www/folder2 ?
[12:48] <headkase314> brakim, I burnt the cd image to a dvd blank because that was all I had and it booted and installed fine.  You should be good there too?
[12:48] <dr0id> using console ofc
[12:48] <jrib> !cli > dr0id
[12:48] <jrib> dr0id: cp -a   is usually what you want
[12:49] <brakim> headkase314 okey so its possible to burn a cd image to a dvd ? didnt know that
[12:49] <headkase314> brakim, yes it is ok.  I don't know 100% but it worked for me.
[12:49] <stealth_> Anyone able to help?
[12:49] <jrib> stealth_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[12:50] <stealth_> I did jrib mate. basically my USB headset will not work with amarok even though it will pick it up in the settings and play sounds through it.
[12:50] <jrib> stealth_: only amarok?
[12:50] <stealth_> yeah
[12:50] <stealth_> I been using this fine on youtube
[12:50] <brakim> headkase314 but ubuntu-10.04-dvd-amd64.iso is the right version
[12:50] <jrib> stealth_: check its preferences for some output options?
[12:50] <hsr> Dr_Willis:
[12:50] <stealth_> jrib, I have, the USB headset it set to first
[12:51] <hsr> Dr_Willis: There?
[12:51] <jrib> stealth_: I think there's a #amarok, try that
[12:51] <brendan-k> does anybody know how often the irc logs are updated?
[12:51] <stealth_> ok mate
[12:51] <headkase314> brakim, for the dvd yes.  For the cd you would get the 64-bit from here -> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[12:51] <brendan-k> i just disconnected and i would like to see was my question answered
[12:51] <jrib> brendan-k: there's a small delay, just check what the most recent entry is for the #ubuntu log
[12:52] <jrib> brendan-k: the last thing you said here was "the beta is ready ..."
[12:54] <headkase314> brakim, how much memory is in your system?  64-bit is most suited to systems that have 4GB or more of memory.
[12:55] <tjubalauba> is there any competitor on the linux text editor scene that hasnt a GUI constructed for a computer with ADHD... that is - not vim o emacs
[12:56] <M00BYFR> adhd ?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  hmmm?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> tjubalauba:  no idea what half of what you said ment.. but theres dozens of text editors out. If you dont like vim or emacs. try geany or efte
[12:57] <tarabaz> hi there. does anybody know some reporting software for email server (or client), that will measure response time for incoming emails and show it in some report form?
[12:57] <hsr> Dr_Willis: How to change the recorded streams directory?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  for what program?
[12:58] <hsr> Dr_Willis: The one you suggested.. did you forget my query?
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  i suggested several.  streamtuner and tunapie have gui settings dialogs.. and streamripper is a cli tool
[12:58] <hsr> Dr_Willis: I am using streamtuner now ...
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> check its settings
[13:00] <hsr> Dr_Willis: I can surmise that well but since i'm not able to find those settings particularly, i asked you :)
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> theres a directory setting i see.. thats about all i know on the topic.  I tend to use Tunapie
[13:01] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Okay.. where in Tunapie?
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> the logically named  'path to rip directory'
[13:01] <hsr> ok
[13:02] <stealth_> Dont know if anyones here or able to answer my question but could anyone refer me to a guide to get ym USB headset working with amarok. It will work in the settings but it will not work at all when I try to play music out of it. I know there is a way to do it but cant find the guide. Anyone able to help? ( I tried #amarok and nobodys spoke for the last 3 hours so yeah)
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> Thats the only directory setting Tunapie seems to have. :)
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> stealth_:  perhaps twiddle with the pulse audio settings
[13:03] <hsr> Dr_Willis: yeah.. got that.. Thanks. But Unfortunately, i cannot add any radio stream as with streamtuner
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  learn the streamripper tool that both are using as a backend. then you dont need tunapie or streamtuner
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> vlc can record streams also i recall
[13:05] <elzoog> Hey guys, what would be causing this sort of error when I boot my computer?

[13:06] <Dr_Willis> elzoog:  its saying your sr0 = Optical drive  has  ' Incompatible medium installed
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> elzoog:  so DO you have a disk in teh drive?
[13:06] <hsr> elzoog: You must be having a CD inserted

[13:07] <Dr_Willis> elzoog:  thats why it matters
[13:07] <jrib> brendan-k: I see
[13:07] <hsr> Yeah correct
[13:07] <elzoog> Wouldn't sr0 mean the hard drive?
[13:07] <brendan-k> jrib: thanks for helping

[13:09] <brendan-k> can somebody please tell me where can one give this feedback?
[13:09] <elzoog> Ok, I see the problem now.   I put a lightscribe DVD in to burn a label on the back side but never got around to it.
[13:09] <pie_time> can anyone tell  me how to organize the software in ubuntu software centere from most popular to least popular like you used to be able to do?
