[19:25] <riffautae> tash: if you just want to be able to access the 1tb drive from the os installed on the first one you can partition it and then mount it in /space or something and make it so your user can write to it, no server needed
[19:26] <riffautae> tash: if you want to be able to share all the data accross the network and install ubuntu on the 80gb drive ubuntu server would work for that. look into samba and ssh
[19:26] <sileni> or could it be some vsftpd config problem?
[19:26] <tash> riffautae: I mean, I am going to install the Ubuntu Server edition on a server computer.  I was wondering if the setup will walk me through partitioning
[19:26] <riffautae> tash: yes
[19:26] <tash> I want the first hard drive to have the OS, and I want the second hard drive to be accessible from the OS
[19:26] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: just out of curiosity, why on earth would anyone have guess at that to be able to share? I assume this isnt necessary with the first user...
[19:26] <llutz> sileni: "sudo lsof -i :21" does vsftpd listen on localhost only or all ifaces?
[19:26] <tash> and yeah, could mount it in something like /data or something
[19:27] <riffautae> tash: tell it to install to the first drive and then set up the other one separate
[19:27] <tash> riffautae: do you know which option I should choose when I get to the partioning section of setup?
[19:27] <sileni> llutz: doesn't seem to return anything when i run that command
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: what OS is the client?
[19:27] <sileni> llutz: wait curlftps seems to come when i run that command
[19:27] <tash> riffaute: setup the other one separate later? like after the OS is installed?
[19:27] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: let me clarify, I am trying to setup a share within Ubuntu and getting the error. Screenshot coming, this should help
[19:28] <riffautae> tash: yea, if nothing jumps out at you during the install its pretty easy to partition and mount the other one later
[19:28] <tash> yeah, that makes sense
[19:28] <coleix> ActionParsnip: i tried ./Wunderlist wich is the executable but it has a problem with libcurl.so.4 and another executable in /Wunderlist/installer gives me the same error
[19:28] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: here ya go, and thanks again for answering     http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/jx2ar3z3/FolderSharing_001.png
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: im about to hit work. Plus my web speed is dog slow
[19:28] <tash> riffautae: fdisk -l, right?
[19:28] <sileni> llutz: is that the problem? curlftps is listening where vsftpd should be?
[19:29] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: have fun at work. What do you do, by the way? I figured you were a dev or something.. Always knowledgable
[19:29] <w30> sileni, Windows computers want passive ftp which wants some ports in the 1024 range opened too. So check out that also or try an active ftp client
[19:29] <tash> riffautae: this looks like a good guide for me to follow http://www.ghacks.net/2009/09/10/add-a-second-drive-to-your-ubuntu-server/ what do you think?
[19:29] <llutz> sileni: you cannot have 2 services listening on one port at the same time
[19:29] <sileni> curlftpfs 4490 root    4u  IPv4 2790290      0t0  TCP <IP_ADDRESS>:47388-><IP_ADDRESS>:ftp (CLOSE_WAIT) curlftpfs 4490 root    6u  IPv4 3445260      0t0  TCP <IP_ADDRESS>:38792-><IP_ADDRESS>:ftp (CLOSE_WAIT)
[19:29] <sileni> that is the output of that lsof
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: noc engineer
[19:29] <sileni> it is in closewait mode so that should not be problem
[19:29] <jnns> hey, I upgraded to oneiric and since then my keyboard is not working after logging in via lightdm. any idea what could cause this?
[19:29] <llutz> sileni: thats  client connection to ftp
[19:30] <llutz> sileni: your vsftpd doesn't run at all
[19:30] <myk_robinson> Need some help with a sharing problem in 11.10   Screenshot here:  http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/jx2ar3z3/FolderSharing_001.png
[19:30] <gigastress> hi guys and gals, can someone help me setting up lvm on lucid for a whole disc encryption?
[19:30] <coleix> anyone else can help me out with wunderlist for oneiric? "it gives me an error error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[19:31] <Master69> Hello Guys
[19:31] <riffautae> tash: that would be reasonable, however instead of chmod -R 777 you could chown :users /data  then   chmod -R g+s /data    to be a little more secure
[19:31] <sileni> llutz: sorry forgot to bring it back up
[19:31] <sileni> llutz: vsftpd    24977 root    3u  IPv4 3513256      0t0  TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)
[19:31] <sileni> so it is listing
[19:32] <llutz> sileni: sudo iptables -vL
[19:32] <sileni> llutz: listening*
[19:32] <riffautae> tash: this would make it so anyone in the 'users' group can write to the dir and anything they add will be modifiable by anyone in the group automaticly
[19:32] <sileni> llutz: what should i look for ?
[19:32] <llutz> sileni: rules affecting ftp
[19:32] <riffautae> tash: but protect them from any system processes like apache
[19:32] <gigastress> hi guys and gals, can someone help me setting up lvm on lucid for a whole disc encryption?
[19:33] <llutz> sileni: are you behind a router? you need portforwarding if you want to connect from outside then
[19:33] <riffautae> tash: also you might use ext4 instead of ext3, but any file system will work
[19:33] <riffautae> tash: these settings are what i use on my personal file server
[19:34] <sileni> llutz: http://pastebin.com/qHU8yz8K
[19:34] <aaronh5> does anyone know why gedit saves my file, along with a file with the same name and appending a ~ to the end
[19:34] <tash> riffautae: just curious, why ext4 as opposed to ext3
[19:34] <riffautae> tash: it is a newer file system with more features
[19:35] <riffautae> tash: also in the comments on that page someone reccommends using UUID, you might look into that
[19:36] <sileni> llutz: not behind router...
[19:36] <sileni> llutz: the other computer is on the same network
[19:36] <llutz> sileni: checked logs?
[19:36] <sileni> llutz: of?
[19:37] <w0_> when I was using 11.04, I could ctrl-alt-numpad to resize windows and arrange them on the screen.  with 11.10 I can't repeatedly type the keycombo to use different sizes..  anyone know what's up with that?
[19:37] <llutz> sileni:  /var/log/vsftpd.log
[19:37] <VileFumes> so my mouse clicks are not making it through the 2d gui.
[19:38] <sileni> llutz: log doesn't show anything
[19:38] <VileFumes> i can move through with the keyboard, hit enter, tab...but 11.10? sound issues, mousepad issues, the same old intel hardware issues, the same network manager issues...
[19:38] <VileFumes> crack some heads.
[19:38] <sileni> llutz: on the other computer, it keeps saying host rejected the connection
[19:40] <{reko}> hi too all y have a big probrem with my server ipcop is not worling the VPN outside from network but inside is working
[19:41] <w0_> ctrl+alt+numpad doesn't do nearly as much in 11.10 as it did in 11.04 -- am I missing something?
[19:41] <geomaster> w0_: i've noticed it too, don't know why tho. could be unity.
[19:41] <{reko}> don't want to help me :(
[19:41] <FreeWIlly_> {reko}: plz pvt me, i got dc
[19:41] <tash> riffautae: thanks
[19:43] <w0_> geomaster: I dono why they would ruin such a nice feature!! =|
[19:43] <sileni> llutz: any other ideas :(?
[19:44] <geomaster> w0_: they ruined so much nice features that i'm now downloading fedora with kde... i feel sorry for ubuntu which i have been using for a long time but what the hell. they really effed it up.
[19:44] <llutz> sileni: aynthing in /etc/hosts.[allow|deny]?
[19:44] <sileni> llutz: no :\
[19:45] <w0_> geomaster: i know it, eh?  tho I have to admit, unity is kinda refreshing compared to kde and gnome
[19:47] <ezeql> Unity works like hell on ubuntu 11.10 , what can i do?
[19:47] <geomaster> ezeql: you can install gnome 3 (sudo apt-get install gnome-shell), but I can't decide which of the two is worse.
[19:47] <w0_> eaeql:  can't get the different placement-widths when using ctrl-alt-numpad .. hope that makes sense
[19:47] <w0_> ezeql:  can't get the different placement-widths when using ctrl-alt-numpad .. hope that makes sense
[19:48] <geomaster> w0_: unity would have been a great thing if it didn't have so many bugs.
[19:48] <TheLastPoet> is ther ea while to scan the contents of all files on a server for a specific term
[19:48] <TheLastPoet> ?
[19:48] <w0_> so far, this is the only bug that really affects how I use my computer..
[19:48] <causative> The background image doesn't seem to work for Terminal anymore... it used to
[19:49] <w0_> course I oupgraded only two days ago. ahahah
[19:49] <causative> I just upgraded to 10.04
[19:49] <themoebius> hey, I just deleted some huge log files to clear some space, but df i still reporting 100% disk usage. How can I get it to refresh?
[19:49] <w0_> what does 'repro' mean? -- found it on a bug reporting site.
[19:49] <causative> and the terminal background image I had set is gone and in the profile for terminal if I set it, it has no effect
[19:49] <causative> w0_, maybe "reproduced"?
[19:49] <causative> they could reproduce the bug?
[19:50] <w0_> causative: ahh gracias
[19:50] <gdiazc> Hello, the following command: "sudo aptitude install libapr1-dev" gives me the following error: "E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postgresql-9.1/libpq5_9.1.1-2_amd64.deb: 404  Not Found"... Help, please! :D
[19:50] <bindi> How can I get automatic updates (for everything, not just security)? I'd like them to be installed every sunday at 4 am and then reboot if necessary
[19:50] <w30> causative, make sure you have opacity set right
[19:50] <causative> o that works now thanks w30
[19:51] <w0_> it IS a bug .. not a removed feature .. there's no diff between ctrl-alt-9 and ctrl-alt-8 !!
[19:51] <geomaster> themoebius: this might sound stupid, but if you used nautilus to delete them, did you clean the trash?
[19:51] <w0_> if only I were a super hacker I would fix it
[19:52] <themoebius> geomaster: I'm running ubuntu server so everything is by command line - I just used rm
[19:52] <causative> w0_, if they are saying they couldn't reproduce it, that means they aren't denying it's a bug, they are denying it happens at all
[19:52] <causative> or they can't figure out how to make it happen on their machine
[19:52] <w0_> well they're saying that CAN reproduce it ..  here's the link I found:
[19:52] <sileni> hmm
[19:52] <geomaster> themoebius: hmm, no idea then. how big were the logfiles?
[19:52] <w0_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/878513
[19:52] <themoebius> geomaster: a little over 3GB
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> bindi: you can cron a script to run when you wish (you can use gnome-schedule if you have a desktop UI) and use a script like this one: http://pastebin.com/4X6z8QA4
[19:53] <w0_> ty, ubottu =P
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> bindi: I have similar but mine's a bit more complex and uses apt-fast :)
[19:53] <bindi> ActionParsnip: what's that? :>

[19:55] <pangolin> gdiazc: you are running debian?
[19:55] <gdiazc> no, it's Ubuntu 11.04...
[19:55] <gdiazc> not sure why it tries to download from debian
[19:55] <selma_ter> I use Ubuntu 11.10. Toda after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you!
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> bindi: a script to run updates but saying yes to all options so that it just installs without prompts
[19:56] <hax> 7'
[19:56] <w0_> FYI, the ctrl-alt-numpad bug is not present after a fresh install, but after updates after a fresh install.  freaky
[19:56] <bindi> ActionParsnip: alright, but that script you gave me, it will install all updates available and reboot if needed?
[19:56] <myk_robinson> Need help with a share. I can share my Templates, but not my Music folder. Permissions appear to be the same. Screenshot of the error here   http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/p4jiskk5/FolderSharing_004.jpeg
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> bindi: it won't reboot but will install updates
[19:57] <w0_> "Found out that reverting "compiz-plugins-main-default" from version 0.9.6-0ubuntu4 to 0.9.6-0ubuntu2 solves this particular problem." --- how do I do that?
[19:57] <selma_ter> I use Ubuntu 11.10. Toda after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you!
[19:57] <bindi> ActionParsnip: well i need to reboot if needed :p don't want to reboot for nothing
[19:58] <glioros> How can I install the "Greek" locales in Ubuntu?
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> bindi: There may be a variable or file which is set when a reboot is needed. If you can find that out you can query it in the script and reboot if necessary
[19:58] <crazydip> Xorg totally broke after update 1h ago! Compiz no longer works, says Xlib extension "GLX" missing. Using Intel chip i915 - compiz has always worked before.
[19:58] <glioros> How can I install the "Greek" locales in Ubuntu?
[19:59] <crazydip> Any ideas? Weird that update had no packages linked to Xorg, compiz or xlib :(
[19:59] <gdiazc> The following: "sudo aptitude install libapr1-dev" gives me the following error: "E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/postgresql-9.1/libpq5_9.1.1-2_amd64.deb: 404 Not Found"... I'm on Ubuntu 11.04. Help :D
[20:00] <crazydip> gdiazc, I don't think you should be using debian archives with ubuntu :/
[20:00] <crazydip> gdiazc, but, it looks like apt-get update failed.. try it again
[20:00] <selma_ter> I use Ubuntu 11.10. Today after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you!
[20:00] <gdiazc> crazydip: Yeah, I'm not the administrator but I have admin privileges... how can I change this?
[20:01] <zykotick9> gdiazc, very bad idea to mix debian/ubuntu repos
[20:01] <sileni> guys http://pastebin.com/SQCKGSZA that is my vsftpd config file
[20:01] <sileni> is something amiss?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> bindi: may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1012637.html
[20:01] <crazydip> gdiazc, remove the debian repo :)
[20:01] <sileni> linux channel member states that usually vsftpd config would be amiss before some firewall is blocking
[20:01] <gdiazc> crazydip: I'm on ssh.. how do i do that with command-line?
[20:02] <crazydip> gdiazc, btw,  libapr1-dev exists in the regular ubuntu repos
[20:02] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: got my sharing problem solved. I was trying to use a share name that already existed. Figured that one out by accident..
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> bindi: seemif you check for the file /var/run/reboot-required   then a reboot is required
[20:02] <gdiazc> crazydip: Can I tell aptitude to install that library from the ubuntu repo without removing the debian repo?
[20:03] <bindi> ActionParsnip: yeah just found that :p
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> myk_robinson: d'oh
[20:03] <Panagiotis13> help guys!
[20:03] <crazydip> gdiazc, yeah, but the whole thing having a debian repo is a super bad idea
[20:03] <bindi> ActionParsnip: it says "*** System restart required ***" but the top right shutdown button isnt red
[20:03] <crazydip> gdiazc, because it will mix packages
[20:03] <myk_robinson> ActionParsnip: got a quick command to list all shares? I need to terminate that other one, but the user no longer exists.. I guess I could just remove the old directory, and the share should die with it?
[20:03] <Panagiotis13> anyone knows how to fix my SUPER+W key combo?
[20:03] <gdiazc> crazydip: Or, can I remove the debian repo without messing up all the packages that have been installed with the debian repo?
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> bindi: that just looks for the file, you can add the check to the script and reboot if it is needed
[20:04] <gdiazc> crazydip: I can imagine.. but I recently started working on this machine and I didn't add that repo myself../
[20:04] <bindi> ActionParsnip: I mean shouldn't I see a red button in ubuntu 11.10 when a restart is required?
[20:04] <crazydip> gdiazc, go to /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out debian repo if they exist, then go to /etc/apt/sources.d and find if there are any debian repos there
[20:04] <selma_ter> I use Ubuntu 11.10. Today after updates, my nautilus can not search any folder from "network shared folders". When i try with gksudo nautilus it gives this error when i click to network folders: "Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations." . Can someone help me please? Thank you!
[20:04] <Panagiotis13> anyone? my super+w isnt working
[20:05] <bindi> ActionParsnip: the file is there right now and inside it is "*** System restart required ***". I don't see it on the shutdown menu though
[20:05] <gdiazc> crazydip: Ok, but packages downloaded from debian will remain or will they be erased?
[20:05] <crazydip> gdiazc, your playing with fire right now... if you already have debian packages installed you have a big problem, BUT so long as your system works right now it'll probably be ok
[20:06] <crazydip> gdiazc, debian packages will remain - you just wont have access to new ones
[20:06] <Panagiotis13> anyone willing to help? pls msg me
[20:06] <gdiazc> crazydip: ok great.. I can't imagine why the added the debian repo
[20:06] <bekks> Panagiotis13: No. Just ask in here.
[20:06] <crazydip> gdiazc, no one can tell you if everything will be fine in the future because you may have some package conflit down the road
[20:06] <zaurav> can I view man pages with yelp? if so how?
[20:06] <Panagiotis13> okey, so my super+w key is not working
[20:06] <Panagiotis13> anyone knows how to fix it?
[20:06] <crazydip> gdiazc, try to find out why that repo is there in the first place... maybe that'll give you a clue
[20:07] <dibs> can anyone tell me how to rebuild my boot sequence on ubuntu as I don't get gui at the moment but can launch it if I open in recovery mode
[20:07] <gdiazc> crazydip: I'm trying "sudo synaptic"
[20:07] <crazydip> gdiazc, i thought you were on a server.... synaptic is a gui program
[20:08] <black__> ATI prop driver: When I click to make changes with it, the changes will not apply for dual monitors... anyone know what the deal is 11.10
[20:08] <gdiazc> crazydip: I did "ssh -XY" to send the gui...
[20:08] <kyan> Hello! How can I use parted to convert a gpt disk to mbr?
[20:08] <crazydip> gdiazc, anyway, i suggest you don't delete the debian repo's just comment them out to disable them just in case you have to re-enable them if something goes wrong
[20:08] <escott> kyan, use gdisk
[20:09] <gdiazc> crazydip: ok, i'll just do it as you say
[20:09] <Panagiotis13> how can i restore my super+w key combo? can i do it using CompizConfig?
[20:09] <julian_> any person talk spanish?
[20:09] <crazydip> gdiazc, then after disabling all debian repos apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade to see if anything comes up
[20:09] <mr_daniel> I have a server running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS and want to run Ubuntu 11.10 guests. So I thought using vmbuilder is a good idea, but when I try to create a gueast I get an error:http://pastebin.com/592dAWVt
[20:09] <zykotick9> !es | julian_
[20:09] <crazydip> gdiazc, good luck!
[20:09] <mr_daniel> Basically what I try it:
[20:09] <mr_daniel> $ vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite oneiric --flavour virtual --addpkg acpid --user test --pass test123
[20:10] <julian_> zykotick9, are you talk spanish? i have a problem.. :S
[20:10] <kyan> escott: gdisk isn't on the machine.
[20:10] <julian_> with parent proxy...
[20:10] <mr_daniel> I don't know, but is vmbuilder only able to generate a 10.04 guest on a 10.04 host? That would be bad, because I want to run a 11.10 guest
[20:10] <zykotick9> julian_, i don't speak spanish no, "/join #ubuntu-es"
[20:10] <kyan> escott: I'm using mondorestore with a mac.
[20:10] <escott> kyan, then install it but its much safer to use gdisk which can create a hybrid partition
[20:10] <crazydip> GLX no longer works after updating today! On intel i915. Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Can anyone help?
[20:10] <sileni> any other ideas guys?
[20:10] <gdiazc> gdiazc: Thanks! I found "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free" in sources.list
[20:10] <kyan> escott: I'll try then.
[20:10] <dmart> whois marcules
[20:11] <kyan> escott: thanks!
[20:11] <gdiazc> crazydip: Thanks! I found "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free" in sources.list, and nothing that says debian in sources.list.d
[20:12] <semitones> How do you gksu in KDE?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> bindi: the file is how the system knows it needs a reboot. So in the script which will run every day you can have it see if that file is present and reboot if it is, otherwise it is not needed due to reboots and can be left running til the next time the script runs
[20:12] <crazydip> gdiazc, ok, just comment that line out with a # and then apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade
[20:12] <gdiazc> crazydip: Should I run "aptitude update" and "aptitude install libapr1-dev" now?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> bindi: I don't know about the Gnome button being red, never noticed and I stopped using gnome desktop a long time ago
[20:12] <usuario_> hellow
[20:12] <bindi> ActionParsnip: yeah i was just confused... i see the file, but ubuntu itself isnt telling me it needs to reboot
[20:12] <gdiazc> crazydip: ok, what does upgrade do?
[20:12] <usuario_> how are you
[20:13] <gdiazc> crazydip: it doesn't give me ubuntu 11.10 right?
[20:13] <usuario_> mada facker
[20:13] <crazydip> no... it just updates the current packages you have to the newest version in the current version of ubuntu... man apt-get to find out :)

[20:14] <usuario_> no speck english
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> bindi: in a script you can use:  shutdown -r now    If you cron as root (as the updates need the extra access) it will happen just fine
[20:15] <ezeql> wow, im now on gnome3... Unity really worked like HELL
[20:15] <bindi> ActionParsnip: already doing that ;) seems it's all set then

[20:26] <scwizard> I want to replace all instances of a in a file with b/c
[20:26] <scwizard> so I do: sed -i s/a/b\\\/c/g file
[20:26] <scwizard> why do I need three \?
[20:27] <scwizard> (I just added backslashes until it worked)
[20:27] <marcules> [21:10:58] <dmart> whois marcules
[20:27] <marcules> I Am what I Am
[20:28] <dAnjou> scwizard: use : or something else as seperator
[20:28] <gdiazc> crazydip: Are you still available?
[20:28] <dAnjou> *separator
[20:29] <scwizard> dAnjou: oh yeah, that would probably be prudent
[20:29] <dAnjou> this doesn't answer the question
[20:29] <scwizard> I'm still curious why 3 though, and not like 1 or 2 or 4
[20:29] <dAnjou> i know :P
[20:30] <usuario_> how old are you
[20:30] <usuario_> ??
[20:30] <meron> After upgrading to 11.04 (that's what I'm currently running), hibernate functionality seems to no longer exist.  Swap still works just as it did before, and nothing has changed other than the upgrade itself (that I can determine).  What happened?

[20:31] <kyan> Hello! How can I mount a flashdrive from busybox?
[20:31] <usuario_> what
[20:31] <usuario_> way
[20:32] <kyan> !es | usuario
[20:32] <usuario_> what
[20:32] <gdiazc> Hello, "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Help, please!
[20:35] <kyan> How can I find the dev file for a flashdrive, and then mount it?
[20:36] <mrdeb> kyan, u can do umount /dev/sdb1 or c depends
[20:36] <Dark_Apostrophe> trism: The Pidgin tray icon works now, following your advice. Thank you! :)
[20:36] <kyan> mrdeb: thanks!
[20:37] <mrdeb> i mean umount --mount /dev/sdb1
[20:37] <mrdeb> no udisks, sorry
[20:37] <ArmyMan007> hello... i have synaptic installed on ubuntu 11.10 but i can't seem to find it.. where is it at?
[20:37] <chilla> hi, does the busybox of ubuntu support mounting squashfs?
[20:38] <trism> Dark_Apostrophe: you're welcome, glad it works
[20:38] <gdiazc> Hi! "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Help, please!
[20:39] <glioros> what is the command to delete a file ?
[20:39] <kyan> mrdeb: Ah, thanks.
[20:39] <ArmyMan007> hello... i have synaptic installed on ubuntu 11.10 but i can't seem to find it.. where is it at?
[20:39] <gdiazc> rm filename
[20:39] <mrdeb> ok
[20:39] <kyan> mrdeb: I was getting an invalid argument error (I used fdisk to check the dev file)
[20:40] <kyan> so I'll try it with --mount.
[20:40] <mrdeb> kyan, what do you mean. you have to install udisks and then go 'udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 if b is the usb drive
[20:40] <glioros> gdiazc cannot remove is a directory
[20:41] <kyan> mrdeb: Ohhh. Ok.
[20:41] <gdiazc> glioros: for the directory do "rm -r directoryname"
[20:41] <mrdeb> from terminal
[20:41] <kyan> mrdeb: I thought I could type umount --mount /dev/sdb1 like in the example.
[20:41] <mrdeb> sorry it is udisks --mount
[20:41] <kyan> mrdeb: Ok I'll try udisks.
[20:41] <ArmyMan007> where can i find update manager and synaptic in ubuntu 11.10?
[20:42] <bakarat> i'm looking for conference call software that does not require a central server, any ideas?
[20:42] <kyan> mrdeb: udisk isn't installed.
[20:42] <gdiazc> Hi! "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Any tips?
[20:42] <mrdeb> yes so you can go apt-get install udisks
[20:42] <Guinness2702> Anybody know how I can tell the resolver to try the other servers, if the first entry in resolv.conf returns "not found" ???
[20:42] <kyan> mrdeb: the purpose of the flash drive was to install some partition management software (the machine isn't online).
[20:43] <ArmyMan007> where can i find update manager and synaptic in ubuntu 11.10?
[20:43] <mrdeb> ok
[20:43] <kyan> mrdeb: so I can't install anything without the flash drive, and I can't use the flash drive without installing something.
[20:43] <riffautae> Guinness2702: it should automaticcly do that
[20:43] <kyan> mrdeb: :-P
[20:44] <Guinness2702> riffautae, no, it only tries the next one if it fails to connect to the DN Server.  If it *successfully* connects, but that returns "not found" it doesn't look at the others
[20:44] <kyan> mrdeb: what should I do about that?
[20:44] <escott> Guinness2702, your local dns neeeds to be first
[20:45] <mrdeb> im not sure. maybe yo can install it offline with deb file
[20:45] <riffautae> Guinness2702: i see, odd
[20:45] <bjrohan> Hello, first time on this channel haven't used IRC for about a decade :-)
[20:45] <mrdeb> hi bj, welcome
[20:45] <riffautae> Guinness2702: well I guess not that odd, is there a particular domain name it is having issues with?
[20:45] <kyan> mrdeb: well I couldn't get the deb file without using the flash drive.
[20:45] <bjrohan> thanks
[20:45] <guntbert> Guinness2702: thats the way it is - sorry
[20:45] <ArmyMan007> where can i find update manager and synaptic in ubuntu 11.10?
[20:45] <riffautae> Guinness2702: the hosts file or a local dns server might help with that
[20:46] <Guinness2702> escott it's on a vpn, and I only want it got go to vpn's dns if it fails in the real world - e.g. if myhost.work.net, I want it to try the vpn, only after the real world returns not found
[20:46] <mrdeb> ArmyMan007: you can use apt-get to install in terminal
[20:46] <fhtagn> howdy! any idea on how I can extract a .psarc file ? (compressed)
[20:46] <kyan> mrdeb: I could burn a cd with the software on it, but the system is running from a cd.
[20:46] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: what exactly does it do? synaptic or update manager?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> ArmyMan007: synaptic can be installed using software centre or apt-get it isn't in a default install but is available
[20:47] <mrdeb> ArmyMan007: it can install or remove of find files but u do it with commands
[20:47] <Guinness2702> riffautae, yeah, I could do that, but I don't want to duplicate the vpn's entire dns locally, and then keep it up to date :(
[20:47] <ArmyMan007> ActionParsnip: i already installed it via software center, can't find it in applications
[20:47] <Guinness2702> guntbert, so, there's no way I can get resolver to behave this way (without hacking the code myself) ??
[20:47] <bjrohan> I just recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a laptop, and I am using a wireless connection to get online. It seems my connection is slow though on Ubuntu, a lot slower than on Windoze
[20:47] <bjrohan> I have it set up as a WPA2, and hidden SSID
[20:48] <riffautae> Guinness2702: you might be able to get the local dns server to just cache and load from both dns servers rather then manually copy the dns
[20:48] <bjrohan> any thoughts to help it run better?
[20:48] <gdiazc> Hello! "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Any tips?
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> ArmyMan007: hmm, possibly try pressing ALT+F2 and run:  unity --replace    it may update dash
[20:48] <mrdeb> ArmyMan007: go alt+f2 and type in synaptic
[20:48] <jackson> exit
[20:48] <Guest94355> #exit
[20:48] <Guinness2702> riffautae, yeah, but if the cache got a miss, it would still go to the vpn first
[20:49] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: but how do i get it to show on my menu? note that i'm using classis GNOME version
[20:49] <kyan> mrdeb: should I try burning a cd (can you say overkill for burning an 81k executable to a cd) and using that anyway?
[20:49] <riffautae> Guinness2702: i'm just imagining that the dns cacher might be more configurable
[20:49] <guntbert> Guinness2702: not to my knowledge, because the  behavior you want would normally only increase answer times for non existant domains
[20:50] <mrdeb> kyan, ok you can try
[20:50] <kyan> mrdeb: ok thanks… :-P
[20:50] <mrdeb> army no, it will show up after reboot sometim thou
[20:50] <meron> Is it possible to hibernate from the terminal?
[20:50] <RxDx> whats the shortcut key to show desktop? super+D isnt working anymore
[20:51] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: i rebooted 2 times, and it still doesn't show up... stupid 11.10, never trust a .10 upgrade..
[20:51] <sodiumnitrate> gnome?
[20:51] <mrdeb> rxdx, try ctrl alt d
[20:51] <mrdeb> army did you reboot or add manual
[20:51] <mrdeb> i mean log out
[20:51] <Guinness2702> guntbert, yep, makes sense for default configuration, totally, but I want to customise.  I can't be the only person in the world who doesn't want work to have access to every dns query I make, only the ones on the vpn.  I don't suppose there's any way to redirect queries on a domain basis.....hmm, I wonder if I could set up a fake mywork.com record locally, with the work NS for that domain, and everything else to the world....hmm,
[20:51] <Guinness2702>  sounds like a lotta work :(
[20:51] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: like i wrote, i rebooted at leaset 2 times after installing synaptic
[20:52] <RxDx> mrdeb, works, thanks :)
[20:52] <mrdeb> well you can add shortcut manually to unity
[20:52] <mrdeb> ok rx
[20:52] <escott> Guinness2702, or tell your employer to provide you a machine for work
[20:52] <riffautae> Guinness2702: if its only one top level domain you could make the local dns server claim to be the master dns server for that domain and have it cache from the one on the vpn
[20:53] <riffautae> Guinness2702: such as example.com
[20:53] <Guinness2702> escott, lol, I won't be accessing work from home that much - just wondering if I can have it set up all the time
[20:53] <Guinness2702> riffautae, yeah, that's sorta what I was thinking...but that means setting up a local DNS lol
[20:54] <guntbert> Guinness2702: my way: I use my standard NS for the world and my brain (or /etc/hosts) for the VPN
[20:54] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: like i wrote, i rebooted at leaset 2 times after installing synaptic
[20:54] <gdiazc> Hello! "sudo aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev" gives me the following error: "unmet dependencies:" ... "...resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) apache2-prefork-dev [Not Installed] 2) libaprutil1-dev [Not Installed]"... Any tips?
[20:54] <mrdeb> well army u can try to add it with gconf for the shortcut
[20:55] <ArmyMan007> mrdeb: how do i do that?
[20:55] <Guinness2702> guntbert, yeah, but in theory, there's something like 100 VM's I can access for work + other stuff.  don't want to copy all that out.
[20:55] <mrdeb> i think it is gconf-editor
[20:55] <Guinness2702> was hoping I could just get the resolver to do it for me
[20:55] <Guinness2702> ahh well, if it doesn't, it doesn't
[20:55] <kuchiku> whta app can i use to edit pdf in ubuntu?
[20:56] <riffautae> Guinness2702: you could also use a socks proxy and set your software to send dns through it
[20:56] <riffautae> Guinness2702: firefox supports this
[20:56] <mrdeb> kuchi, pdf edit
[20:56] <guntbert> Guinness2702: understandable - but I never took a look into that part of DNS config - so no more ideas here
[20:56] <Guinness2702> riffautae, I probably ssh as much as http
[20:57] <Guinness2702> guntbert, yeah, I guess if I wanna do it, I'm gonna have to set up a DNS - done it before when I had dial up to save bandwidth, but barely worth the effort for this lol
[20:57] <Atreus> hokay, so, when i click on "Add an account" in evolution's account assistant, it quits and nothing happens. :(
[20:57] <kuchiku> whta app can i use to edit pdf in ubuntu?
[20:57] <Guest13784> I did upgrade 10.04 to 11.04. my postgres 8.4 doesn't work anymore, so the upgrade install postgres 9.1. now i cannot use my application with postgres 9.1. database connection error. any help? thanks
[20:58] <Guinness2702> plus, I vpn in from my desktop, but I'd put the nameserver on my main server...then again, if the vpn is not connected, it would just fail

[21:01] <c0stre> xubuntu 11.10
[21:01] <c0stre> is it a gui thing, or is it the theme thats to blame?

[21:10] <fatninja> Why gedit doesn't work ? Just sudo gedit , on the last version of ubuntu ?
[21:11] <gdiazc> do you have gedit? what does "which gedit" return?
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: use gksudo for gedit, not sudo
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: what happens if you run gedit in terminal without gk/sudo
[21:12] <fatninja> ok, I don't know what I did, how I did it , but now gedit works.
[21:13] <guntbert> gdiazc: please run sudo aptitude update before anything else
[21:13] <fatninja> it doesn't work when I try : edit file.
[21:13] <fatninja> *gedit file
[21:13] <fatninja> from within the terminal, ofcourse
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: what does the terminal output when you try?
[21:13] <fatninja> nothing, it just hangs
[21:14] <fatninja> and no window appears
[21:14] <fatninja> if I type gedit, the window appears without a problem
[21:14] <darius_> I'm getting this error after attempting an apt-get upgrade dpkg: error: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: any output in the terminal after you run the command that doesn't work?
[21:15] <fatninja> now gedit stopped working as well, sorry for making all this confusing, but I'm very confused myself.
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> darius_: boot to liveCD and fsck the system partition
[21:15] <Xano> This is the second time my audio settings (no audio output through onboard coax anymore) are screwed up after updating Ubuntu. What may have caused there problems?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: does: gedit file   output anyting in terminal?
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> Xano: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm ~/.pulse-cookie
[21:16] <tanath> anyone else getting 100% CPU with pidgin now?
[21:16] <fatninja> ActionParsnip: nothing , I have to ctrl+c to use the terminal again.
[21:16] <gdiazc> guntbert: update gave me some errors: "W: GPG error: http://packages.ubuntu.com natty InRelease: File /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/packages.ubuntu.com_oneiric_dists_natty_InRelease doesn't start with a clearsigned message"
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> tanath: not here, have you used the pidgin ppa or the on e from the repos?
[21:17] <tanath> ActionParsnip, nope.
[21:17] <fatninja> ActionParsnip: also opening Text Editor from Dash Home, doesn't work as well, let me try to do a restart.
[21:17] <Xano> ActionParsnip: Well I managed to fix things with pavucontrol (again), but I'd like to know why this happens every time I apply OS updates
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> gdiazc: try http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> Xano: possibly a bug?
[21:17] <tanath> ActionParsnip, just started today. suddenly started maxing cpu. so i restarted it. now it does it any time i open a chat window, and stays that way. tried toggling all the enabled plugins too.
[21:18] <guntbert> gdiazc: I haven't seen that error before, but ... that mixture natty/oneiric sounds a bit strange - try to disable most/all ppa for now and retry
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> tanath: try closing pidgn and rename ~/.purple then rerun. You will need to resetup your accounts but may help
[21:21] <tanath> ActionParsnip, i hate doing that. >_<
[21:21] <tanath> will test
[21:22] <Guest13784> hi, database connection error, help please
[21:22] <fatninja> ActionParsnip: now gedit works after restart..
[21:22] <chrisgeorge> when double clicking on a launcher icon, it shows the windows of that application that are open in 11.10. Where can I bind that action to a keyboard command?
[21:22] <tanath> ActionParsnip, no, it's maxing cpu already. haven't even added an account yet

[21:23] <logi_> hi, anyone knows how it is possible to start a second unity session on tty8?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> tanath: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[21:24] <tanath> ActionParsnip, oneiric
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> !info pidgin

[21:25] <Guest13784> I have a problem with database connection. I receive a message database connection error. This message happen when I try to install Moodle 2.1. Ubuntu 11.10
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> tanath: the pidgin dev ppa has 1.9 which is older than oneiric
[21:25] <tanath> ActionParsnip, Version: 1:2.10.0-0ubuntu2
[21:26] <tanath> ActionParsnip, (is what i have)
[21:26] <gdiazc> how do i list the ppa's currently installed?
[21:27] <tanath> gdiazc, if you have gnome-do you can type 'software sources'
[21:27] <sveinse> If I use debootstrap to install a chroot, a small, but not too few packages are installed. Is this the bare minimum needed for apt-get/dpkg to work, or can I strip it even further down?
[21:28] <gdiazc> tanath: and a command-line equivalent? (i'm on ssh)
[21:28] <tanath> gdiazc, gdiazc i have no idea... i always use gnome-do.
[21:28] <armando> hy my friend
[21:29] <tanath> gdiazc, you can get there via synaptic actually
[21:29] <wolfmitchell> Switched from Gnome to XFCE to LXFE with Openbox

[21:29] <mrdeb> what is lxfe
[21:29] <wolfmitchell> Desktop enviroment
[21:29] <tanath> in that case...
[21:30] <tanath> gdiazc, check /etc/apt/sources.list but there can be others listed elsewhere. don't recall the path
[21:31] <guntbert> gdiazc: the rest: ls -l /etc/sources.list.d
[21:31] <guntbert> */etc/apt/sources.list.d
[21:31] <gdiazc> thanks, both!
[21:32] <tanath> guntbert, i have ones not listed in sources.list and they're not there
[21:32] <tanath> guntbert, wait, my bad. there they are
[21:32] <guntbert> tanath: :)
[21:32] <mrdeb> ok i know lxde
[21:32] <nachox> is anyone using ntop to monitor network usage?
[21:32] <tanath> guntbert, auto-complete mislead me :P

[21:34] <escott> paul_uk, what do you mean vga mode
[21:35] <pozican> In 11.10 how do you get to the windows preferences? Is there a pkg I need to install to get the windows packages?
[21:35] <paul_uk> escott:  i have a fresh install of 11.10.  I chose to run with nvidia drivers, now I get a blank screen on startup.  I want to be able to update files and choose another nvidia option.
[21:35] <guntbert> paul_uk: press <shift> while booting
[21:35] <paul_uk> guntbert: cool will try thanks
[21:35] <thegladiator> i installed xfce and few other packages , i need to remove them
[21:35] <pozican> windows prefs*
[21:35] <thegladiator> is it possible
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and you can run:  less /var/log/Xorg.0.log     to see what is going on
[21:36] <thegladiator> i dont want any of the packages coming with XFCE
[21:36] <cindy_> what are the exe files dressed up as video rars tryin to do?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: you may need to run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig     then reboot to make it work
[21:36] <cindy_> clamtk seems to like em
[21:37] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: ok will try thanks
[21:37] <guntbert> cindy_: exe? they won't do anything in linux
[21:37] <cindy_> i wonder what they do to a windows machine
[21:37] <thegladiator> I gave sudo apt-get remove but I think need to do more
[21:38] <pozican> I'm missing the windows preferences from the system settings menu; is there anything I need to do to get it there?
[21:38] <guntbert> cindy_: thats certainly off topic here
[21:40] <dtigue> cindy_: its probably a virus
[21:41] <kyan> Hello! How can I mount a cd from the command line?
[21:41] <pozican> kyan: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
[21:41] <escott> kyan, mount /dev/dvd /media/dvd (perhaps /dev/cdrw /dev/cdrom)
[21:41] <dtigue> pozican: you beat me to it......argh
[21:41] <kyan> escott, pozican: thanks! :-)
[21:42] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: CTRL+ALT+F1 doesn't seem to do anything, any other key combo?
[21:42] <pozican> kyan: escott's is probably best, ubuntu seems to use /media instead of /mnt
[21:42] <dtigue> shouldn't the bot automagically answer common questions such as, how to mount a cdrom on the CLI
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: try ESC when the boot splash loads, you'll see the boot messages
[21:42] <ikonia> dtigue: the bot is not auto - you have to trigger it
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> dtigue: no, she must be triggered
[21:42] <ikonia> !cli | dtigue
[21:42] <escott> paul_uk, it that is not working it could be modeset related add nomodeset to the boot options
[21:42] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: I press shift on booting and I select boot in recovery mode but there is no boot with vga option
[21:43] <paul_uk> escott: ok will try
[21:43] <dtigue> ubottu: you should answer questions automagically, but send them as a msg to the asker
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: use that menu and boot to root recovery mod, then run:  nvidia-xconfig; reboot
[21:43] <dtigue> lol
[21:43] <ikonia> dtigue: again - it's a bot, no point talking to it, you can get it to pm users
[21:43] <ikonia> !cli > dtigue
[21:43] <ikonia> dtigue: like that
[21:44] <dtigue> ikonia: yea i know all that but its much more fun to talk directly to the bot
[21:44] <ikonia> dtigue: it wastes peoples time and is pointless, please don't do it in the channel
[21:45] <Chamunks> I'm sorry, to ask this but can someone point me to a fix for FGLRX in gnome shell?
[21:45] <dtigue> ikonia: i will refrain but only because you asked so kindly
[21:45] <Chamunks> Documentation on it is too fresh for google to come up with decent results for me.
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: fix for what?
[21:45] <paul_uk> escott: do i add nomodeset to the last line?  because whatever I do, I keep on getting this blank screen!
[21:46] <whallz> why in /media my sdb has an id and not a label? how can i change that?
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> !label | whallz
[21:46] <dtigue> whallz: gparted will let you add labels i believe
[21:46] <whallz> ty
[21:47] <escott> paul_uk, linux /vmlinuz line at the end
[21:47] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, The fglrx driver mangles gnome-shell..  And I need fglrx
[21:48] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, I'll find a link with a good screenshot of the problem.
[21:48] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: the recovery menu is frozen, it doesn't allow me to make any choices
[21:48] <dumbnewbie> hello guys
[21:49] <dumbnewbie> does anyone know external hard drives that will work with linux, i mean right away?
[21:50] <riffautae> dumbnewbie: all of them should. and if they dont its super easy to partition it
[21:50] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11339681&postcount=3 Related screenshots to the issue.
[21:50] <dr_willis> every external hd ive ever had - has worked with linux.. right away....
[21:51] <dr_willis> bbl
[21:51] <Prothon>  I have a question for any experienced Sysadmins here. When making a LDAP+Kerberos+Samaba PDC which should first be set up? And is it required to have an internal DNS server?
[21:51] <paul_uk> escott: nomodeset doesn't do anything.  I keep on getting just a blankscreen on startup
[21:51] <Chamunks> Has no one else had this problem installing gnome-shell?
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: same in all DEs?
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: not a good sign, have you tested your RAM?
[21:52] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: I was just running with XFCE using experimental drivers
[21:53] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, no unity works fine but Gnome-shell supports screencasting native and I get unbarable graphics performance without fglrx
[21:53] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: it's not my ram, it's the Nvidia drivers :\
[21:53] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, also I have dual monitors and video cards and I cannot enable my second monitor using the default driver as Xorg.conf has never Ever worked well for me.
[21:53] <paul_uk> is it CTRL+x to save amendments in grub ?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: in the recovery menu there isn't even an X server running so the nvidia drivers aren't loaded.
[21:55] <paul_uk> hmm, I had this very same problem with 11.04 which forced me to use XFCE and I don't like it.  So that;s why im trying 11.10.  Ok, I'm gonna do an install, then upgrade drivers and see where I'm at.
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: if you are editting in nano then you can save and exit with CTRL+X, Y, ENTER
[21:55] <paul_uk> *re-install
[21:55] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: problem is, I get zip, nada, nothing and system is unresponsive
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: which nvidia gpu do you have?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: and is it one of those hybrid monstrosities?
[21:56] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: GTS 450
[21:56] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, any ideas, I hate to poke as you're obviously in the middle of a few conversations.
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: you may need the xorg edgers updates PPA for that
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> paul_uk: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: not sure. I don't use ATi stuff
[21:58] <wad> So, I'm on my command prompt.
[21:58] <paul_uk> ActionParsnip: ok will do
[21:59] <wad> Way deep down in some subdirectly. And there's a file here that I want to open. I just want to double-click on it. But I'm in my command prompt....
[21:59] <wad> Is there an easier way than to launch the home folder app, click forty times to get to the directory, then double-click the blasted icon?
[22:00] <Chamunks> Anyone here had any luck with setting up the ATI driver with Gnome shell yet or have they still not released the fix?
[22:00] <kyan> wad: make a launcher that runs nautilus /home/kyan
[22:00] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, thanks anyways.  I wonder if there are any other distros of linux that will solve this issue.
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> wad: you can run:  nautilus    and see your home folder in the file browser
[22:00] <wad> But I don't want my home folder.
[22:00] <wad> Like I said, I'm forty directories deep.
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: there are plenty to go at, have a try of a few
[22:01] <escott> !info alacarte | wad
[22:01] <dannnnn> i went into sshd_config and set enablerootlogin to no
[22:01] <aaronh5> when writing a bash script, how can i make a place that i can go back to in my script? say i asked a question, they answered, and i want it to ask it again.
[22:01] <dannnnn> then restarted sshd, but i can still login as root... why?
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> wad: you can make a symlink to the directory in your home fodler
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> *folder
[22:01] <wad> But I'm jumping all over the place on my command line.
[22:01] <wad> *sigh* I guess this just doesn't work.
[22:01] <escott> dannnnn, do you mean you can sudo after logging in as your user
[22:02] <wad> Maybe I'll write something, an app called "doubleclick", where I specify the filename. And it simulates having double-clicked it from X.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> wad: if you make a symlink, you can open the link and jump straight to the location
[22:02] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, :) well I just need something to not break today to bring up my spirits a bit.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> wad: why would you have to write anything..?
[22:02] <wad> Okay, you're in this directory:
[22:02] <ezeql> anyone using evoluent mouse ?
[22:02] <screenLog> Has anyone ever set up a ubuntu server?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> wad: what is the full directory path and I'll give a command to make a link
[22:03] <_spt_> screenLog : yes
[22:03] <wad> /home/ActionParsnip/Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4 and you want to view the file blah.pdf. What do you do? Open your home folder, and browse down into that directory, click at a time, among thousands of others?
[22:03] <screenLog> _spt_: how do I set up the DNS settings
[22:03] <wad> ln -s makes symbolic links, I don't see how that helps. I don't want to persist a link. Just open my document.
[22:04] <_spt_> I let the router do that
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> wad: run:  ln -s ~/Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4 ~/t4
[22:04] <wad> I don't want to alter the filesystem.
[22:04] <wad> And when you're done, you have to rm ~//Docuemnts/dsfg45/df3434/6534/234/fds/5.34/f43/gfgh4/323/fdgff/t4
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> wad: now when you doble click the 't4' folder in $HOME you will go straight to the folder
[22:04] <screenLog> _spt_: ahh, I can't im doing it for work and can't figure out how to get it on our network
[22:04] <wad> Either that, or spam your filesystem with symbolic links
[22:04] <causative> between version 9 and 10 did Ubuntu put the X_[] buttons to close a window on the left side instead of the right side?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> wad: no need to remove it if you don't want. You can keep it for later
[22:04] <wad> I guess you just delete the symbolic link from your home folder.
[22:04] <causative> it seems different
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> causative: it's changable
[22:05] <wad> But I don't want to keep a big pile of symbolic links, and I don't want to have to delete them. I don't need a symbolic link, I just want to launch the application that consumes this file type, just like the doubleclick action.
[22:05] <doc__> join #dokuwiki
[22:06] <chrisgeorge> What is the plugin/command called for single clicking a launcher shortcut and it shows all the open windows associated with it?
[22:06] <wad> ActionParsnip, but thanks for your suggestion anyway. ;) I'm just annoyed. Been doing this all day long.
[22:06] <escott> wad, then start that application  for pdfs its called evince also known as the document viewer
[22:06] <wad> escott, but when I double-click something, I don't know what the application is called that launches. Why do I have to know it when I'm on the command prompt?
[22:07] <escott> wad, for the command line you don't there is a mime type helper command line util
[22:07] <wad> How does X know what it is?  Thanks so much!
[22:09] <Squarepy> hi I want to boot a usb with gparted and I think grub doesn't support that, any suggestions?
[22:10] <escott> Squarepy, some bioses may not like it, but if you cant get it to work try unetbootin or uinnetboot whatever its called
[22:10] <AzoteLogiko_> -es
[22:10] <escott> !es | AzoteLogiko_
[22:12] <Squarepy> escott: I imaged the .iso with  unetbootin, do have to do more with it?
[22:13] <escott> Squarepy, if you are working with an ubuntu iso you might just want to use the usb-creator-gtk gui
[22:13] <willo> guys im getting this error= http://imagebin.org/182333
[22:13] <AzoteLogiko_> thankx escott :)
[22:13] <willo> i cant upgrade or anything
[22:13] <yoshi9099> I can't access my server after boot until I've run /etc/init.d/networking restart
[22:14] <causative> ActionParsnip, where can you change it?
[22:14] <causative> I don't see anything in System->Preferences->Appearance
[22:14] <willo> im using 10.4
[22:17] <Squarepy> escott: not sure what you mean, it's an iso of gparted, but I can check whether i have the app
[22:17] <escott> Squarepy, well gparted is an application. do you mean an iso of a rescue distro with gparted?
[22:17] <exthd> Hi Guys, Can you help me finding a big external HD that will SURELY work with linux?
[22:18] <yoshi9099> Anyone have any experience with networking in ubuntu?
[22:18] <escott> exthd, any disk will work
[22:18] <luis_> exthd: all hdd will work
[22:19] <rixter__> yoshi9099, yes, but you will need to be a little bit more specific.
[22:19] <luis_> yoshi9099: What is your question?
[22:19] <Squarepy> escott: yes its the live iso
[22:19] <yoshi9099> When I reboot my server, I have to run /etc/init.d/networking restart to make it net-accessible
[22:19] <exthd> escott, luis: i had problems with the one i bought , the pc told me that i will have problems with any ubuntu distro
[22:19] <yoshi9099> The server gets an IP fine, but I can't ping out or in until I restart networking.
[22:20] <rixter__> yoshi9099, dhcp?
[22:20] <yoshi9099> rixter__: yes
[22:20] <luis_> exthd: What problems did you have?
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> !controls | causative
[22:21] <causative> ok thanks ActionParsnip
[22:21] <thinkpadthink> hello all!
[22:21] <rixter__> !aa-logprof
[22:22] <raw> trying to dual ubuntu on top of windows 7
[22:22] <raw> i ran the installer from the live cd
[22:22] <raw> now it boots into grub rescue :\
[22:22] <rixter__> yoshi9099, have you seen if aa-logprof is complaining about something?
[22:22] <exthd> luis, it took a hell lot of time till it worked, and when it did, i unmounted it to see, and it wouldnt work again... i gave it back, at the other pc store the guy told me i will encounter problems until i will find one taht works with ubuntu. i wand one that i plug ...
[22:23] <luis_> raw use Wubi to dual boot on a windows machine
[22:23] <raw> i have a raid0
[22:23] <exthd> luis, plug in and works right away...
[22:23] <raw> luis, i tried that first and it didnt work either
[22:23] <raw> i think raid0 is my problem
[22:23] <thinkpadthink> does MySQL Workbench  work for anyone on 11.10
[22:24] <yoshi9099> rixter__: how do I check that? I last booted a week ago.
[22:24] <rixter__> sudo aa-logprof
[22:24] <rixter__> you may have to get apparmor-utils
[22:25] <yoshi9099> rixter__: I've got it. only ntpd is in 'complain mode'. interesting, i've never used this apparmour thing, just browsed logs
[22:25] <exthd> bobweaver, i think thats the howto of the old 8.04 aproved encryption
[22:26] <bobweaver> exthd,    What Oo
[22:26] <rixter__> yoshi9099, just a guess, but I'd bet if you reboot and type 'route' you'd be missing your gateway under default
[22:26] <rixter__> yoshi9099, when you aren't working does 'ip a' show an ip address?
[22:27] <yoshi9099> rixter__: ifconfig shows an ip address when it isnt' working
[22:27] <rixter__> yoshi9099, can you ping locally?
[22:27] <yoshi9099> rixter__: no
[22:28] <rixter__> hrm.
[22:28] <rixter__> yoshi9099, are you pinging locally by ip or name?
[22:28] <exthd> luis, escott any clues?
[22:28] <yoshi9099> rixter__: by name
[22:28] <kyan> I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside Mac OS as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Dual-Boot%3a%20Mac%20OSX%20and%20Ubuntu .
[22:29] <kyan> I can't change the GPT to MBR though.
[22:29] <kyan> What should I do about that?
[22:29] <yoshi9099> rixter__: I don't know why I typed that, I meant by ip. I can't ping the gateway or any other host
[22:29] <kyan> I'm getting the error: WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
[22:29] <rixter__> yoshi9099, I had an issue like this once, but I was using static ip's and i had set it both inside of gnome desktop and /etc/network/interfaces
[22:29] <kyan> Oops, /dev/sda. Sorry.
[22:30] <rixter__> yoshi9099, I think it was a conflict between the WM and the networking service.
[22:31] <quaff> i tried changing my gtk theme and it crashed my x server. now i can't login at all, i'm running ubuntu 11.10, and using unity, anyone have any ideas how i can fix this?
[22:31] <yoshi9099> rixter__: I don't have a display hooked up to the box at present. What command can I run on CLI with an exported X display?
[22:31] <RD> is there a way to get to a terminal before 11.04 loads ?
[22:32] <dr_willis> !text
[22:32] <nachox> anyone familiar with upstart's respawn?
[22:33] <escott> exthd, you never really stated what your problem before was
[22:33] <escott> kyan, you should use gparted
[22:33] <nachox> i have a service that keeps dying every now and then
[22:33] <nachox> and i'de love for upstart to notice it dying and respawn it
[22:33] <kyan> escott: Hmm. It's mondorescue's interface that's giving the error.
[22:34] <kyan> escott: I mean mondorestore. sorry :-P
[22:34] <kyan> escott: I'm using a customised Ubuntu version backed up to a dvd using mondo.
[22:35] <kyan> escott: So I can't configure the program it uses. I'm thinking that I ought to convert the GPT partition to MBR format to let fdisk use it but I'm not sure how. Gdisk didn't seem to work.
[22:35] <escott> kyan, you could try and manually restore your partition with dd
[22:36] <escott> kyan, you cannot convert a mac to mbr
[22:36] <kyan> escott: well, Mac OS and rEFIt are still both working fine.
[22:37] <martin___> Where can I find the wireless driver for Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g/n to ubuntu 11.10? My wireless is dead like a stone.
[22:37] <kyan> escott: I just can't get mondorestore to restore to the partition I created using Disk Utility.
[22:37] <RD> thank you
[22:37] <escott> kyan, it may set up some kind of hybrid, but you cant blow away the gpt and expect osx to work
[22:37] <kyan> escott: Ok. How can I set up the hybrid?
[22:38] <escott> kyan, with gdisk
[22:38] <kyan> escott: Thanks!

[22:38] <escott> kirk_, cron
[22:38] <heoyea> sleep?
[22:39] <somsip> kirk_: you want to do the same thing over and over for 60 seconds?
[22:39] <dr_willis> how exact..?
[22:39] <exthd> luis, escott: Hi Guys, Can you help me finding a big external HD that will SURELY work with linux? i had problems with the one i bought , the pc store guy told me that i will have problems with any ubuntu distro
[22:39] <kirk_> i want to run command and that command should run only for 60 seconds
[22:40] <exthd> luis, escott: luis, it took a hell lot of time till it worked, and when it did, i unmounted it to see, and it wouldnt work again... i gave it back, at the other pc store the guy told me i will encounter problems until i will find one taht works with ubuntu. i want one that i plug ...
[22:40] <escott> kyan, i think the problem is really with mondorescue. what are you trying to restore
[22:40] <kirk_> i dont know if cron can do this
[22:40] <exthd> luis, escott, plug in and works right away
[22:40] <heoyea> exthd: just format it to ext4
[22:40] <paul_uk> is there anyway of installing the experiemental or open source nvidia drivers ?
[22:41] <dr_willis> exthd:  i have literaly dozens if external usb hds and they all worked.. what did nit work for it?
[22:41] <paul_uk> as soon as I enable nvidia drivers, my system no longer works :/
[22:41] <kyan> escott: I'm trying to restore a customised Ubuntu installation made on a standard Ubuntu single-boot PC.
[22:41] <Laurenceb_> hi

[22:41] <Laurenceb_> i need the latest nemiver
[22:42] <dr_willis> !backports | Laurenceb_
[22:42] <ubuntuman> :-S hello to everyone !
[22:42] <kyan> escott: I did it in a VM to make sure the DVD worked fine. It did. I don't just want to clone it because there's a lot that isn't stored in traditional packages. (I went into some depth with changing config etc.)
[22:42] <exthd> dr_willis: it took a hell lot of time, with a terrabite-one, and when i unmounted it woluldnt recognize it again, plugguin in pluggin out, had no result
[22:42] <dr_willis> Laurenceb_:  or find a ppa
[22:42] <kyan> escott: You have a very good point about the XY thing :-D
[22:42] <kyan> escott: I'll go try making the hybrid MBR using gdisk.
[22:43] <dr_willis> exthd:  my wd 3 tbs all work fine
[22:43] <kirk_> i need to run tcpdump for 60 and then print the count of tcp and udp packets. any idea?
[22:43] <heoyea> exthd: format to ext4 ...
[22:43] <kirk_> *for 60 seconds
[22:43] <Wb_Lack> Hei, is there someone who wanna make a pen-test on my site?
[22:43] <thoeger> Hello channel - I have some trouble: latest regular update killed my system (it suddenly wouldn't boot into X and I could not figure out why). I booted a live USB stick, opened Ubiquity and ran "upgrade". It went fine, apparently, but now, my touchpad is not detected and no wireless connections are found at all! What can I do, short of a wipe-all-and-reinstall?
[22:44] <dr_willis> kirk_: use 2 commands. one being "sleep 60 && killall tcpdump"
[22:44] <exthd> heoyea: can i do this from a live cd with gparted?, sry dumb question. and do you think it will work on plug-in afterwards?
[22:44] <dr_willis> kirk_:  or similer
[22:44] <heoyea> exthd: yes u can
[22:45] <ubuntuman> Anybody Known if Ubuntu training will be available in western Canada any time soon?
[22:45] <kirk_> dr_willis: oh good idea, ty
[22:45] <heoyea> exthd: yes it will work
[22:45] <escott> kirk_, man tcpdump | egrep -C3 -- "(-G|-W)"
[22:45] <dr_willis> exthd:  siunds to me like the hd may be flakey
[22:45] <somsip> kirk_: check -G on man tcpdump
[22:45] <pimpmaneaton> hey gents having trouble setting a profile in thunderbird with 11.10, get no access to file
[22:45] <yoshi9099> Is there a log that I can check that would indicate why dhclient is grabbing an IP but I can't ping?
[22:45] <rixter__> yoshi9099, "rixter__: I don't have a display hooked up to the box at present. What command can I run on CLI with an exported X display?" I honestly don't remember.
[22:46] <dr_willis> rixter__: like vncserver?
[22:46] <yoshi9099> rixter__: I just opened up xfce4_panel and opened networking from in there, but there doesn't look like there is much in there.
[22:46] <exthd> heoyea. plug in and work right away?
[22:46] <aaronh5> how can i make a bash script return to a certain point in my script?
[22:46] <escott> aaronh5, goto
[22:46] <exthd> dr_willis: what is flakey?
[22:46] <dr_willis> exthd:  your hd.
[22:46] <rixter__> dr_willis, no there is a way to make X display over the network (I used to do it) but I don't remember.
[22:46] <paulw_> hello..in 11.10 how are people connecting to Google calendar?
[22:47] <dr_willis> rixter__: xdmcp or ssh x forwarding
[22:47] <yoshi9099> dr_willis: I'm using ssh x forwarding
[22:47] <rixter__> dr_willis, yeah xdmcp was what I used, I am not needing it, but yoshi was asking about it.
[22:47] <heoyea> exthd: yes it should, if not u can use pySDM app
[22:47] <kirk_> somsip: ty, i missed this option.
[22:48] <exthd> dr_willis: for i am a foreigner i didnt know what flakey means
[22:48] <somsip> kirk_: and escott rightly says to combine this with -W
[22:48] <rixter__> yoshi9099, I honestly don't know why the network must be restarted before it starts up correctly.
[22:48] <ubuntuman> :-/I guess nobody knows ?
[22:48] <heoyea> exthd: windows key aka superkey
[22:48] <dr_willis> all 3 ways can work. depends on your needs.
[22:48] <exthd> heoyea what is pySDM app
[22:48] <thoeger> Okay I'll bump it. Ubuntu doesn't detect my trackpad. When running from live USB, no problem. When runing in Windows, no problem. What can be wrong?
[22:48] <yoshi9099> Me neither. Is there a way to find out?
[22:48] <dr_willis> exthd:  your hd is broken. try a different one
[22:48] <heoyea> exthd: it lets u mount HD, u can set it up to mount auto it u like
[22:49] <exthd> dr_willis, it was new
[22:49] <rixter__> yoshi9099, have you checked the system logs to see if its erroring on startup?
[22:49] <dr_willis> exthd:  so? new can be broken
[22:50] <dr_willis> bbl
[22:50] <yoshi9099> syslog shows nothing useful. dhclient requests an IP and one is given.
[22:50] <exthd> heoya i have to remeber that name, i hope i can install that on a live cd session
[22:50] <Guest49334> is this the ubuntu help channel?
[22:50] <EvilResistance> Guest49334:  yes
[22:50] <SilfenX> how can determine if a specific program was installed using a repository or  downloaded and installed manually?
[22:50] <EvilResistance> Guest49334:  how can we help you
[22:50] <paulw_> what application is best to connect to Google Calendar?
[22:51] <rixter__> Guest49334, you should check with #gentoo for help for your ubuntu distro ;)
[22:51] <Uns0b1ll> anyone with dynamips opened ine topology right now ? i need help with dynamips
[22:51] <kyan> escott: I tried it with a GPT partition with hybrid MBR (http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/hybrid.html), but mondorestore is still treating it as a GPT partition.
[22:51] <heoyea> exthd: yea u can install it if u like from livecd
[22:51] <EvilResistance> rixter__:  please dont spread disinformation in this channel, even jokingly.
[22:51] <felon> can someone help me please, i was running ubuntu off my external hd cause my sata was down, the board was toast. well i replaced the board, now i got my hd and dvdrom back on sata, and i was hooking up the external to get info off it, but it dosent show under my computer as a drive or letter. under disk management its there? how i get it to show under my computer to access it to get info off
[22:51] <felon> it.
[22:51] <pozican> SilfenX: try dpkg --get-selections
[22:51] <windparadise> hello, pls I am trying to turn php_safe mode off, in /etc/php5/apache2 it shows safe_mode is off, but in http://www.berylhost.com/estates/info.php  I am seeing safe_mode being on, where else can I check ?
[22:51] <Guest49334> can I add accounts other than google to the online accounts?
[22:51] <aaronh5> escott, how do i use goto?
[22:52] <pozican> windparadise: did you /etc/init.d/httpd graceful?
[22:52] <rixter__> EvilResistance, the ;) was there, letting him know I was kidding, but I will refrain from doing that again ;)
[22:52] <escott> kyan, because mondorestore intends to restore the partition table, but doesnt know how. mondo is trying to do TOO much.
[22:52] <thoeger> How can I make Ubuntu see my trackpad?
[22:52] <pozican> windparadise: php -i will show you your config from php.ini NOT the config that running... IE restart / graceful after changes
[22:52] <glebihan> windparadise, did you restart apache after modifying the configuration ?
[22:52] <ubuntuman> can someone please answer my question regarding training in Canada or point me in the right direction?
[22:52] <amya> how can I stop all the messages about upgrading to 11.10 perminantly system-wide? This machine is used by at least two kids and if they should click on that it could fundamentally break the system
[22:52] <escott> kyan, if !clone doesnt work for you (and I would strongly encourage cloning and then diffing your /etc) you can see if mondo has a switch to only restore the partiton but not the partition table
[22:52] <pozican> I'm missing the windows preferences from the system settings menu; is there anything I need to do to get it there?
[22:52] <kyan> escott: Hmm. It is suggesting overwriting my current partition layout with a new one (which I do NOT want to do!).
[22:53] <rixter__> thoeger, on the liveusb, have you done lsmod and seen what modules are loading, maybe there is a switch they are using... dmesg | grep trackpad or dmesg | grep ps2 may give you something useful.
[22:53] <paul_uk> does anyone know of any options other than nomodeset?  At this point I want anything to try and troubleshoot my linux install
[22:53] <exthd> heoya, thanks for your help, i think ill buy a western digital one and try that.
[22:53] <amya> I had already turned off updates entirely which I didnt want to do, I just dont want to upgrade from  11.04 because I use gnome on here and gnome is horribly broken in 11.10
[22:53] <SilfenX> pozican: I get a long list of applications - of all only 2 says deinstall while all others say install in the right column
[22:53] <amya> yet the messages about upgrading to 11.10 still come up
[22:53] <kyan> escott: Ah hmm, it's discussed here: http://www.mondorescue.org/docs/mondorescue-howto.html#AEN951
[22:53] <rixter__> paul_uk, what is the issue you are having?
[22:53] <windparadise> glebihan: in fact, safe mode is turned off lonng ago, I didn't do any setting
[22:53] <exthd> heoya, is that in pySDM in the lucisd repos?
[22:54] <paul_uk> rixter__: I have enabled nvidia drivers and now when my system boots, I just get a blank screen and the monitor shuts off
[22:54] <ubuntuman> O.K Goodbye See all another time.
[22:54] <heoyea> exthd: yea it should be, is been there from 8.04
[22:54] <exthd> heoyea, is that in pySDM in the lucisd repos? do you think a western digital will be a solution?
[22:54] <paulw_> how are people connecting to Google Calendar in 11.10?
[22:54] <rixter__> paul_uk, can you ctrl-alt-f1 or is the kernel even booting?
[22:54] <paul_uk> rixter__: nope can't do ctrl-alt-f1
[22:54] <SkiOne> anyone have an ETA on when PHP 5.3.3 will be available via apt?
[22:54] <heoyea> exthd: any HD will work, u just gotta format it
[22:55] <heoyea> exthd: i got about 6 HDs all works
[22:55] <olof_> I really need some help quick. I am on my first time ubuntu. I had on hard drive with Windows 7 installed. I booted up my downloaded ubuntu11 CD. But how do I boot in to windows 7? I saw no alternatives on boot menu. Now I am missing a really important file that was on my desktop on my Win7 installation!!
[22:55] <kyan> escott: Unfortunately the mountlist editor that it mentions uses fdisk, so I'm not sure how to bypass the mountlist editor and simply restore it to a chosen existing partition
[22:55] <Pici> SkiOne: in what release?
[22:55] <amya> paul_uk: I noticed that as well if ya gimme a sec I'll tell ya how I fixed it
[22:55] <SkiOne> 10.04
[22:55] <exthd> heoyea, thanks for your help, i am just thinking, beacause the pc store is a bit nazi about taking back hds
[22:56] <paul_uk> amya: awesome i am all ears :)
[22:56] <heoyea> exthd: most of those PC are idiots really cant trust them all
[22:56] <Pici> SkiOne: Is there something that 5.3.3 brings that you need in lucid?
[22:56] <rixter__> paul_uk, check and see if 'nomodeset noapic acpi=off' helps any
[22:56] <heoyea> exthd: PC tech*
[22:56] <paul_uk> amya: the other way I fixed this, with 11.04 was moving to XFCE, but that is so crappy.  I don't want to go there again
[22:56] <SkiOne> yeah there is a bug fix I need
[22:56] <amya> paul_uk: changed /etc/default/grub adding vga=normal to this line as so: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet vga=normal"
[22:57] <bluesceada> hi
[22:57] <Pici> SkiOne: Was it a CVE or just some other bug?
[22:57] <bluesceada> how can i get vdpau running with fglrx?
[22:57] <glebihan> windparadise, in that case, you may want to have a look at the other ini files parsed (also mentioned on the info page)
[22:57] <bluesceada> the cpu is too slow to decode 1080p it seems
[22:57] <exthd> heoyea, i am an idiot myself beacause i cant install an ect. hd. on my live cd sesseion
[22:57] <exthd> heoya, external hd
[22:57] <amya> paul_uk: pretty sure thats just a framebuffer issue and should have nothing to do with X or the DE used.. its about the kernel framebuffer
[22:57] <windparadise> ok
[22:57] <thoeger> olof_, did you choose "install side by side" when you installed Ubuntu?
[22:57] <SkiOne> it was a filter_var problem, it does not properly dedect valid URLs Pici
[22:57] <felon> i was running ubuntu off my external hd cause my sata was down, the board was toast. well i replaced the board, now i got my hd and dvdrom back on sata, and i was hooking up the external to get info off it, but it dosent show under my computer as a drive or letter. under disk management its there. but i cant assign it anything i need the info off the drive, how i get it to show under my computer
[22:57] <felon> to access it to get info off it?
[22:57] <bluesceada> didnt find anything directly useful
[22:58] <heoyea> exthd: well is find because ur not a tech so ur learning, they are getting paid and they donno what they are doing
[22:58] <amya> paul_uk: the vga=normal kernel perameter solved it here with an nvidia 5200fx card
[22:58] <paul_uk> amya, ok will try
[22:58] <SkiOne> Pici: I've tried a few methods and ended up really borking the server, so I was wonder if 5.3.3 will be added
[22:58] <amya> paul_uk: you need to run update-grub after saving that file
[22:58] <Pici> SkiOne: I only ask becuase CVE (security fixes) may have been patched into the version of 5.3.2 that is in lucid.
[22:59] <amya> paul_uk: that assures your kernels always boot with normal vga mode rather than an advanced framebuffer mode
[22:59] <SkiOne> Its not a security bug
[22:59] <olof_> thoeger, yes I did. And now I cant find it :S
[22:59] <exthd> heoyea, it sounded like this guy was knowledged, because he told me about that usb adapter IN the ext. HDs, that would nver work with linux
[22:59] <Pici> SkiOne: Otherwise, It doesn't look like 5.3.3 will be available in 10.04, as it has been available in 10.10 and there was no backport to lucid for that.
[22:59] <olof_> thoeger, all I need to do is find the Windows 7 desktop folder so I can backup that specific file and I can start all over again
[23:00] <indieross> i have a text file that i need to delete a bunch of text starting with " - SF somenumbers.mp3" how can i do this?
[23:00] <thoeger> olof, you can try and open a terminal and run 'df -h' (are you experienced with a terminal?)
[23:00] <SilfenX> is it possible remove  broken user installed program? I got one that refuses to uninstall or reinstall
[23:00] <Pici> indieross: you need to delete the entire line? or just that text at the start of a line or what?
[23:00] <olof_> thoeger, not really, what does that command o?
[23:01] <olof_> do*
[23:01] <heoyea> exthd: he probally just knows Windows, not really any linux, therefor he lies, if u by any regular HDD it should work
[23:01] <indieross> not the entire line just the text starting and ending with  " - SF somenumbers.mp3"
[23:01] <julian_> who to check squid status?
[23:01] <exthd> heoyea, does "regular" include external usb-ones?
[23:02] <escott> indieross, sed -e "s/  - SF [0-9]*.mp3//" filename
[23:02] <heoyea> exthd: will i have a external docking for my HDD
[23:02] <indieross> escott thanks ill give it a try
[23:02] <Pici> indieross: what escott said, but that will just print out the changes, use -i to make it change the file.
[23:02] <heoyea> exthd: it pops in and out like Super Nintendo style
[23:03] <rickb06> Hello, goofy I know, I have a directory tree with a bunch of CSS files randomly throughout. I need to remember how to recurrsively apply to a certain file extension in any folder of any given child folder within the root
[23:03] <rickb06> does that make sense?
[23:03] <indieross> Pici thanks
[23:03] <kyan> escott: how can I bypass the mondorestore mountlist editor and simply restore to an existing partition?
[23:03] <exthd> heoyea dont understand "will i have a external docking for my HDD" do you maen will it  ahve a usb plug??
[23:04] <amya> exthd: are you suggesting that linux will not work with a linux filesystem because its USB? because that is absurd and 100% wrong
[23:04] <escott> kyan, don't know, check the mondo manual. but again mondo is not the right too for what you want to do
[23:04] <heoyea> exthd: one of these http://gadgetgrid.gadgetgridllc.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/thermal_take_black_ice.gif
[23:04] <kyan> escott: Hmm, thanks
[23:04] <exthd> heoyea, i was never thinking about sth. like that
[23:04] <paul_uk> jesus wept, nomodeset noapic vga=normal gives me a blank screen monitor shuts off, ok how can i just get a command line only lol
[23:04] <indieross> Pici the -i is not working
[23:05] <exthd> amya, sry i think you got that wrong
[23:05] <wayne_> Is there any software for ubuntu that can back up owned dvds?
[23:06] <amya> exthd: no I certainly do not.. filesystems do not matter.. the only downside to any specific filesystem on USB is that if its a flash device a journaled fileststem will wear the media out faster
[23:06] <heoyea> wayne_: K9copy
[23:06] <class24> ciaoo
[23:06] <class24> !list
[23:06] <indieross> wayne_ handbrake
[23:06] <wayne_> I don't know how to install handbrake, I wanna copy dvd to dvd if possible
[23:07] <wayne_> no encoding is wanted
[23:07] <class24> !bot
[23:07] <thoeger> olof_, it tells you which partitions are visible to your system, what they are called and how large they are.
[23:07] <wayne_> well "encoding" to avi or anything like that
[23:07] <wayne_> Isn't wanted
[23:07] <thoeger> doesn't alter anything, just displays the information
[23:07] <indieross> then use k9copy
[23:07] <exthd> amya, i was reproducing information from the pc store there. can you explain this in simple words again?
[23:08] <wayne_> How does k9copy work, I'm installing it
[23:08] <heoyea> wayne_: handbrake only backup to mp4 i believe
[23:08] <wayne_> Nahh. Converting and encoding to a container is too much work
[23:09] <amya> exthd: I don't really know what you're talking about but it sounded to me like you were saying an EXT filesystem would not work via usb.. and I assure you via USB, via a 30ft parallel cable hooked through a coffee machine to an ice maker.. it doesnt matter.. any filesystem the kernel supports it supports period
[23:09] <paul_uk> is there a way of bypassing the recovery menu and going direcltly into a root shell prompt ?
[23:09] <indieross> escott the sed command is not working
[23:09] <SilfenX> is it possible remove a broken user installed program? I got one that refuses to either uninstall or reinstall
[23:09] <amya> paul_uk: there are many ways one is init=/bin/sh which is the most direct way
[23:10] <escott> indieross, make sure the spaces are correct, and there arent tabs and such
[23:10] <amya> paul_uk: that will leave your filesystem mounted read-only so you would need to remount rw if you need to make any changes
[23:10] <paul_uk> amya and I can do this from pressing shift and getting to change the boot options?
[23:10] <exthd> amya, but i should format it as ext3 or ext4?
[23:10] <amya> paul_uk: that is correct
[23:10] <wayne_> Will linux ubuntu ever get Video Game support?
[23:10] <twilight0> hi to all, how can I compile a source deb package
[23:10] <exthd> amya, to work properly?
[23:10] <heoyea> SilfenX: u can open synaptic, under custom filters theres a broken section
[23:10] <kirk_> when let tcpdump to write into a file, it is in a raw forman. is it possible to write it in the same format which is printed on standard output?
[23:10] <wayne_> I'd like to play games on here
[23:11] <twilight0> I mean I got the package from the Ubuntu repos but its still source
[23:11] <_spt_> paul_uk : I had an issue with an ATI card and Ubuntu 11.10 boot issue witha blank screen I fixed it with the info here http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation
[23:11] <twilight0> I like to compile this package
[23:11] <indieross> escott there are no tabs and i put the command in exactly as shown one more time i need to delete the test " - SF somenumbers .mp3"
[23:11] <amya> exthd: if it is a flash media, ext2 is safest.. but a journalizing filesystem like ext3 or ext4 could in theory wear the media out more quickly as it does extra writes that would not be required for a non journalizing filesystem and flash media is written to by breaking down a dielectric barrier and has a limited lifetime
[23:11] <twilight0> I dont have any source repos enabled
[23:12] <amya> exthd: but technically speaking any would work.. just some may wear out a flash device faster than others... if its a regular hard disk it makes absolutely no difference at all
[23:12] <paul_uk> _spt_: thanks for that, checking
[23:12] <escott> indieross, i mean spaces inside the regex. "1234 .mp3" does not match "1234.mp3"
[23:12] <kirk_> when i let tcpdump to write into a file, it is in a raw format. is it possible to write it in the same format which is printed on standard output?
[23:12] <exthd> amya, its going to be  a 100gb extrnal hd for media library kinda storage, what filesystem do you suggest, i will apply encryption as well
[23:13] <exthd> amya, sorry 1000 GB, 1 tb
[23:13] <La5eR> Does anyone own an M3A770DE Asrock motherboard?
[23:13] <demeter> Hi, I have a problem with the bluetooth with ubuntu 11.04. It does export to send and receive files from other bluetooth device such as Mobile
[23:13] <escott> exthd, for media used ext4
[23:13] <escott> exthd, use not used
[23:13] <demeter> help me please :(
[23:13] <agoole> I installed ubuntu from within windows...can I give ubuntu more HD space ?
[23:14] <SilfenX> when ubuntu server 1et logged to somewhere and if so how can I access it?0.04 stats up, the text it echoes to the screen during boot , does that g
[23:14] <La5eR> if anyone has an M3A770DE motherboard pls /msg me :D
[23:14] <SilfenX> et logged to somewhere
[23:14] <amya> exthd: if its a hard disk then you probably want ext3... unless you think you will hit a limitation of the ext3 filesystem then use ext4.. you can see the limitations of ext3 on wikipedia.. they are ridiculously high.. but if it were say a whole TB worth of small picture files it may reach the maximum files limit
[23:14] <yoshi9099> this just in. when I plug in my other network interface, the system all the sudden becomes network addressable on both interfaces
[23:14] <yoshi9099> I suppose I could cheat and have a cronjob that just restarts the networking init script
[23:15] <paul_uk> _spt_: thanks for the link.  unfortunately nomodeset really doesn't do anything for me.  I still get a blank screen after bootup
[23:15] <amya> exthd: the only reason I say use ext3 if you wont hit a limit is because there are still systems out there that may not yet have ext4 support in their kernel and since its a usb drive you may want to use it on other systems and be sure it'll work
[23:15] <wayne_> This k9copy doens't work
[23:15] <wayne_> doesn
[23:16] <exthd> amya, so these are the limits with ext3, thats it?
[23:16] <wayne_> K9copy just crashes
[23:16] <amya> exthd: this is why using a windows filesystem is often recommended just for wider compatibility.. but personally I rather use ext3 than NTFS, and FAT is out of the question on a drive that large.. you'd have to split it into small partitions to use FAT
[23:16] <escott> exthd, ext4 has extents
[23:16] <paul_uk> this is ridiculous, im gonna have to run 11.10 with video hardware acceleration turned off lol, no dual screens for me :/
[23:16] <BangBusRUs> Hi there I just finished installing Ubuntu 11.10 on my Thinkpad T61, I need some help with the bat on the top...
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> wayne_: its an abandoned projct too
[23:17] <exthd> escott, what extents?
[23:17] <heoyea> wayne_: probally need to install libdvdcss2 1st b4 u can rip/play any protect stuff
[23:17] <escott> exthd, good for larger files, slightly more efficient
[23:17] <La5eR> if anyone has an M3A770DE motherboard pls /msg me :D
[23:17] <amya> yeah I'm not extremely familiar with ext4 yet myself I follow the staying with the well tested stuff as long as possible philosophy.. and I personally wouldnt use ext4 without reaching a limitation in ext3
[23:17] <BangBusRUs> All the links I found were for 10.4
[23:18] <exthd> escott, but working with ubuntu 9.19 and later?
[23:18] <exthd> escott 9.10..
[23:18] <escott> exthd, ext4 is supported by 9.10
[23:19] <wayne_> Can't find  libdvdcss2
[23:19] <wayne_> no such thing
[23:19] <exthd> escott thx
[23:19] <indieross> escott can you do that for me, id really appreciate it?
[23:19] <Anom01y_> hi, I installed backintime, and it created a cron job for scheduled backups, now that I've uninstalled backintime, how can I check cron to see if the cron job is still scheduled ?
[23:19] <escott> !dvd | wayne_
[23:19] <heoyea> wayne_: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html
[23:19] <Anom01y_> if it is still scheduled I don't want it to be
[23:19] <Anom01y_> where is the cron config file to check ?
[23:20] <Scunizi> Sometimes my android phone mount via USB and sometimes it doesn't.. Right now it won't.. How do I get it to mount and look at the sdcard?
[23:20] <escott> indieross, do what? if you want to !paste an example line from the file and what your command was we can look at it
[23:20] <heoyea> Anom01y_: crontab -e
[23:20] <indieross> escott http://www.megaupload.com/?d=60RIE383
[23:20] <amya> Scunizi: I had that problem a lot with my phone too.. it seems to be the phone in my case.. usually have to reboot my phone when it fails to connect
[23:20] <seyfarth_> Looks like the link on ubuntu.com is busted. I get a drupal error
[23:21] <seyfarth_> to download
[23:21] <escott> indieross, can you please use !paste
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: there is an app to automount sd card, may help
[23:21] <escott> !paste
[23:21] <amya> Scunizi: somtimes going into settings and turning usb debugging on then off will reset the usb part of the phone without a full reboot
[23:21] <wayne_> Didn't help looks like I have to boot windows
[23:21] <Scunizi> amya, I'll give that a go..
[23:21] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip, which app?
[23:21] <heoyea> Anom01y_: or u can use the gui called gnome-schedule
[23:21] <escott> Anom01y, have you tried rc.local
[23:21] <Guest71732> Hi all. I've just got Ubuntu installed and trying to get something simple working. I want to use the BFD library in C but #include "bfd.h" is not being found. Am I supposed to download some sort of library first?
[23:21] <qin> seyfarth_: Apparently offline
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: its called auto mount  here, also be sure to safetly remove and eject the device when you are done with the storage
[23:22] <indieross> !paste
[23:22] <exthd> escott, can gparted format my 1tb western digital ext hd over usb on a 10.4 live session, can you tell this?^^
[23:22] <escott> exthd, yes
[23:22] <indieross> escott http://paste.ubuntu.com/727708/
[23:22] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip, is that an android app or in the repos?
[23:22] <indieross> escott a  bunch of the lines end in that text ive been tryning to delete
[23:22] <Anom01y_> heoyea, ok well I used crontab -e, select 'ed' to edit the file, and removed the entry that was in that file (backintime was in there)
[23:23] <exthd> escott, thx (newbnewb), in the case the system will recoginze it, i hope it will this time
[23:23] <Warum> hey why i can't access some files on Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS \n \l ? anybody knows? zsh: no such file or directory: ./z
[23:23] <Anom01y_> then hit ctrl O to write out (save)
[23:23] <escott> indieross, (a) im assuming you later want to rename so you may want to install the rename application (actually a perl script) which takes the same kind of regexs
[23:23] <Anom01y_> heoyea, should that fix my problem ?
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: Auto Mout Your SD  by JRTStudio
[23:23] <escott> indieross, (b) do you want just the SF ### - ## .mp3 or also the SFPT ### - ## .mp3
[23:23] <amya> android tends to do fancy autodetection of what kind of connection you may want to make rather than older phones that you have to manually set.. and sometimes it just gets confused and will not even show "usb connected" in the status bar and comes up in linux as failed to enumerate device on port.. usually a reboot is the surest way to fix it, reboot the phone that is
[23:23] <heoyea> Anom01y_: yea just get rid of the line u dont want to use, or u can comment it out with the # sign in front
[23:24] <BarkingFish> Guys, hello :)
[23:24] <ben_q> could anyone help me out with dumping a portion of my disk? I know the start/end cylinder/head/sector number and also the start/end block number. how can I do that? (dd manual doesn't enlighten me...)
[23:24] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip, so an android app.. I'll look
[23:24] <Anom01y_> ok thanks heoyea  :)
[23:24] <heoyea> Anom01y_: no probs
[23:24] <indieross> escott i want the " - SF somenumber .mp3" gone
[23:24] <indieross> most lines end in them
[23:24] <BarkingFish> I have a user in #kubuntu wanting to know why netbeans wasn't released with 11.10 - apparently the last set was with natty - can someone tell me why it was dropped or doesn't exist anymore please?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> amya: never had an issue here on android 2.1
[23:25] <BarkingFish> I asked our -devel channel, and it was suggested that you'd be more likely to know :)
[23:25] <amya> ActionParsnip: I have a crappy samsung moment that I mostly use with usb debugging for tethering and it does it all the time..
[23:25] <indieross> escott " - SF*mp3"
[23:26] <amya> anywho my question went ignored the last 20 minutes and I got other things to do.. so.. I'm leaving ;)
[23:27] <escott> indieross, so you could do basically that "s/\s*-\s*SF.*mp3//"
[23:28] <awc> I'm having some difficulty with my GPU folding client. I've run into this before, I just for get the necessary commands to fix the problem: http://pastebin.com/aLhNfV6Q
[23:28] <i3luefire> why does putty keep giving me the error "server refused our key"?
[23:28] <ngc0202> Hi
[23:29] <indieross> escott thats exactly what i needed thanks soooo much
[23:29] <ngc0202> I was installing 11.10 today
[23:29] <ultrixx> when I play back xvid movies i get blueish colors. what's the reason for that?
[23:29] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip, I still had to tell it to connect as usb storage but it opened this time.  I think the error was because I tried to copy 3 video files off at the same time and it auto disconnected for some reason.
[23:29] <ngc0202> And I force shutdown my laptop during the installation, and now it won't boot D: What do I do?
[23:30] <Papabrvo> Is anyone here familiar with Rythmbox and Musicbrainz?
[23:30] <ngc0202> Please help D:
[23:30] <exthd> is here someone who i can call the "LVM-Guru" or has approximate skills, i need someone with such skills here
[23:30] <heoyea> ngc0202: might be able to continue, if not reinstall
[23:31] <ngc0202> will I lose all my data?
[23:31] <heoyea> Papabrvo: Musicbrainz is good
[23:31] <huayra> I had trouble with my microphone
[23:31] <bobweaver> exthd,  Uwe Hermann ??\
[23:31] <huayra> it does work with gnome recorder, but it is not recognized in skype or ekiga
[23:32] <Papabrvo> heoyea: IRythmbox doesnt seem to be able to get info from Musicbrainz
[23:32] <huayra> been having this issue since 10.10 and even now that I am on 11.10
[23:32] <heoyea> Papabrvo: Musicbrainz is for ID3tags, not sure what u mean with rythmbox
[23:32] <huayra> really odd. IF someone has some advice Iam truly thankful. I can go in the terminal and do some ALSA chasing tricks if needed be
[23:33] <Papabrvo> heoyea: It should pick up CD info and input track info and etc
[23:33] <exthd> bobweaver, thx again
[23:33] <melvin> heeelp
[23:34] <awc> I have an API mismatch between my NVIDIA kernel module and the driver. How can I fix this?  http://pastebin.com/aLhNfV6Q
[23:34] <heoyea> Papabrvo: u have to do that 1st in Musicbrainz then it saves those tags, then those tags will show up in Rthymbox
[23:34] <Papabrvo> heoyea: I'm sorry what do I do at Musicbrainz?
[23:35] <rickb06> anyone help me out with permissions?
[23:35] <KeNg> مرحبا
[23:35] <rickb06> so i chmod files in a dir 777.. then i sudo su - to the user and they are all unwritable.
[23:35] <rickb06> any ideas?
[23:36] <heoyea> Papabrvo: Musicbrainz only search for tags then u can apply those tags to ur mp3, then rythmbox will read these tags
[23:36] <qin> rickb06: Do not "sudo su"
[23:37] <KM0201> rickb06: learn to use sudo?
[23:37] <Papabrvo> heoyea: When I out a CD in the drive I get a blank bow in Rythmbox and a note that says not found at Musicbrainz, help by inputting CD info
[23:38] <bobweaver> rickb06, I would read up on permissions
[23:38] <olof_> I cant seem to install ATI driver. I tried both drivers (post release updates too)
[23:38] <olof_> FGLRX driver
[23:38] <olof_> from "Additional Drivers"
[23:38] <heoyea> Papabrvo: is basically trying to find out the tags for the CD using MusicBrainz Database online, if it cant find any then u get no tags
[23:38] <_spt_> Guest71732 : bfd.h you need to install libcwd-dev
[23:39] <Papabrvo> heoyea: OK. I'll look further into it to see if I can get it to work. Thanks for the start.
[23:40] <Warum> Hi anybody can help me.. Why I can't run an executable file on my server?:S
[23:41] <mindoms> is it possible to set routes automaticaly when using the GUI to connect to a VPN server?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> Warum: is it marked as executable and does your user have execute access to it
[23:41] <Warum> it has access
[23:41] <Warum> it just says not found
[23:41] <Warum> and I can see the file there, is just that I can't execute it
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> Warum: using the right case?
[23:41] <qin> Warum: ./file (from directory where file is)
[23:42] <Warum> for example my psy client
[23:42] <Warum> zsh: no such file or directory: ./psybnc
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> Warum: if the binary is in the pwd then use the ./ as qin says
[23:42] <Warum> the file is there and chmoded ..
[23:42] <Warum> -rwx--x--x  1 4686 4650 210248 Jan  6  2006 psybnc*
[23:43] <heoyea> maybe missing header like #!/bin/bash?
[23:43] <Warum> oh it's not that kind of file :D
[23:43] <qin> Warum: chown it
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> Warum: if you use ls -la ./psybnc    what is output ?
[23:43] <Warum> i have been reading on google about this issue
[23:43] <Warum> "try to run an executable file... : no such file... ??"
[23:44] <WanderingEnder> Every few minutes, battery meter in 11.10 reports I have 3 minutes of battery life left. I have 92% battery remaining. Is this Ubuntu or my HP Mini 1110?
[23:44] <Warum> And they are talking about 32 bit and 64 bit systems
[23:44] <Warum> mines is 64's
[23:44] <Warum> ActionParsnip -rwx--x--x 1 4686 4650 210248 Jan  6  2006 ./psybnc*
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> Warum: also what is the output of:  file ./psybnc
[23:44] <Warum> zsh: no such file or directory: ./psybnc
[23:45] <Warum> this
[23:45] <heoyea> Warum: maybe u need to install zsh
[23:45] <qin> Warum: You missing +r for others
[23:45] <Warum> i`m using Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS \n \l
[23:45] <heoyea> Warum: for it to work
[23:45] <Warum> It has zsh
[23:45] <thoeger> Okay, this install has messed up my hardware setup massively on my laptop. Isn't there a way to re'detect hardware etc, that is, basically reconfigure X?
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> Warum: try:  sudo chown $USER:$USER ./psybnc
[23:45] <Warum> zsh is already the newest version.
[23:46] <paul_uk> hey all, on my 4th 11.10 installation.  Is there anyway of installing the FREE nvidia drivers?
[23:46] <bobweaver> thoeger, services lightdm restart ?
[23:46] <i3luefire> nevermind fuckers
[23:46] <WanderingEnder> !language | i3luefire
[23:46] <thoeger> bobweaver, that restarts X, as far as I know it doesn't reconfigure?
[23:46] <heoyea> Warum: is it a program or a script?
[23:46] <Warum> It's a psyBNC file
[23:47] <Warum> have you ever heard of a psyBNC client?
[23:47] <bobweaver> thoeger,  dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[23:47] <thoeger> bobweaver, I wasn't aware such a reconfiguration would touch much else than the actual display manager?
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> !find psy
[23:48] <Warum> ActionParsnip when I do that sudo chown the error doesnt apper anymore but the file is still not loaded :D
[23:48] <awc> I have an API mismatch between my NVIDIA kernel module and the driver. How can I fix this?  http://pastebin.com/aLhNfV6Q
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> !find psybnc
[23:48] <Warum> psybnc.at
[23:48] <Warum> there are tons of sources..
[23:49] <thoeger> hmm, it says environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME missing...
[23:49] <BangBusRUs> Hey I need some help here. http://www.howtogeek.com/55985/how-to-make-ubuntu-linux-look-like-windows-7/
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> awc: uninstall both the 280 and 285 driver, then install just the 285 driver
[23:49] <awc> ActionParsnip thanks
[23:50] <setre> is it possible to install ubuntu from debian without the use of a Compact Disc or usb boot, if so please let me know how
[23:50] <bobweaver> !ftp | setre
[23:50] <Warum> psyBNC2.3.2-7-cBtITLdDMSNpE started (PID 9293)
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> HA http://www.askvg.com/transform-windows-7-into-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-using-ubuntu-skin-pack/
[23:50] <Warum> oh oh i fixed ^^
[23:51] <Warum> it needed to be compiled again on my 64 bytes
[23:51] <Warum> it was made for 32 I think...
[23:51] <Warum> :-)
[23:51] <Warum> thanks !!
[23:51] <setre> bobweaver: ftp what?
[23:52] <randomusr> I have a desktop with a ralink 2500 chip. It's a linksys. Installed 10.04 prior to install the card. How to I enable the driver as I understand it's included in the mainline kernel?
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> setre: you can pxe boot if you have a pxe server around
[23:53] <fishhead> http://linuxdistroteamspeakcommunity.blogspot.com/
[23:53] <monstaRtruck> any1 have gtx560
[23:53] <monstaRtruck> or am i the only nuub here
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> BangBusRUs: what is your issue, giving a link with no details is meaningless
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> monstaRtruck: use the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates PPA to get the later nvidia driver
[23:55] <monstaRtruck> i got the drivers from nvidia
[23:55] <monstaRtruck> and now my theme is broke
[23:55] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip,  could you if you had debian installed   add repo then add ubuntu-desktop ?
[23:57] <mindoms> sorry, i got disconnected. and solved my problem. local routes go to the wifi tab, not the vpn tab.
[23:58] <mohawkjohn> For some reason every once in a while Unity decides that it needs to be behind all my other applications, whether I press  alt+tab or try to access the taskbar. Really obnoxious. Anyone found a workaround?
[23:59] <randomusr> if I install 10.10  x86_64, will my Linksys card work out of the box?
 my theme broke
