[07:09] <Eugene89> Hello people! I have a server supporting some mysql databases and I can't seem to get the scheduled backup working. Where can I check what went wrong?
[07:10] <Kamilion> UbuntuBoy: I'm an apple shareholder, live in the bay area, and have met (and gotten flamed by) steve jobs. (and hung around with woz too while doing some volunteer work at the computer history museum)
[07:10] <banker247> i'm reading this
[07:10] <banker247> http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=204
[07:10] <Kamilion> I can pretty much tell you flat out: Not going to happen.
[07:10] <andruk> does anybody know if aliiance vlsi is available on ubuntu?
[07:11] <Hdale85> Ok guys, I just booted the 10.04 live cd and my wireless keyboard and mouse are bluetooth and well there is no way to tell it to pair because it won't let me use them! What should I do? Usually if I pull the dongle and then reconnect it, it goes into RF mode but it's not doing it with 10.04
[07:11] <nomad77> /cl/cl
[07:11] <banker247> seems like hes having the same probe
[07:12] <courpse> Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
[07:12] <courpse> When trying to boot gimp.
[07:12] <no-name_> how do you mount an .iso in ubuntu?
[07:12] <UbuntuBoy> ubutom_: what really would decrease their sales is releasing iTunes for Windows which they have done
[07:12] <courpse> Nvidia gfx card, with Xinerama
[07:12] <Kamilion> And I can tell you why too: Apple has a very tight lifecycle. When they say something's deprecated or obsolete, they mean it. Poof, it's *gone*. They control the hardware, the default software, and have a nice little lockgrip on their elitist niche. Which I appreciate (hence why I'm a shareholder)
[07:12] <kubanc> what do i do, every time i open html file, i cannot see č,š,ž in gedit,leafpad, etc...
[07:12] <jmichaelx> is anyone else having issues reaching security.ubuntu.com when try to do updates?
[07:13] <Kamilion> Anyway, I'll shut my yap now ;)
[07:13] <ubutom_> UbuntuBoy, nope, windows has a large user base, it's all about money
[07:13] <Kamilion> If they don't have total control over something, they don't do it. Period.
[07:13] <ubutom_> UbuntuBoy, besides, if it wasn't available for Windows, noone with a windows box would buy ipods
[07:14] <Kamilion> and missing that 99% of the market would be a foolish move. Missing our 3% of the market will not be.
[07:14] <UbuntuBoy> Kamilion: okay from your experience  with Apple, you don't think Apple would consider it?
[07:15] <bazhang> UbuntuBoy, lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[07:15] <Kamilion> Nope. Zero chance. Not until chromeos hits *millions* of netbooks.
[07:15] <Zeu5> hi i have an issue with my xampp. i keep getting this another mysql daemon is running whenever i restart my computer. i ran ps aux |grep mysql i get the following http://paste.ubuntu.com/446473/  this process pid 897 keeps starting up. how do i make sure it doesnt starts all the time? is it because i chose automatically start programs in my startupservice?
[07:15] <Kamilion> We have no market and barely any marketing.
[07:16] <jmichaelx> good grief, one more time... is there anyone else that is having issues reaching security.ubuntu.com when try to do updates?
[07:16] <Prez00> hello
[07:16] <Zeu5> please help. i have asked many times today. i have not received any responses.
[07:16] <Prez00> how could I watch mms feed with .asx file?  I can't seem to play them in Ubuntu
[07:16] <bazhang> Zeu5, xamp is not supported, see lamp
[07:16] <bazhang> !lamp | Zeu5
[07:16] <Docteh> i dont even know what xamp is :)
[07:16] <Docteh> !xamp
[07:17] <jmichaelx> Zeu5: #ubuntu has always been a zoo, more or less
[07:17] <Zeu5> hi bazhang, its called lampp in my /opt/lampp
[07:17] <ubutom_> Docteh, mp3 player like winamp
[07:17] <UbuntuBoy> Well thanks, I'm going to keep trying to get iTunes for Linux.
[07:17] <bazhang> Zeu5, install from the repos, no need to be in /opt
[07:17] <Kamilion> Zeu5: yes, you can disable the mysqld from system startup with update-rc.d IIRC
[07:17] <hotfloppy> how to resize all of my desktop icon size ? other than the stretch option..
[07:18] <Kamilion> jmichaelx: I'm not having any issues with security.ubuntu.com.
[07:18] <Zeu5> Kamilion: where is system startup?
[07:18] <Docteh> ubutom_: i thought thats xmms
[07:18] <Kamilion> Zeu5: /etc/init.d or /etc/init
[07:18] <ubutom_> lol, yeah, Docteh , just seen it, omg
[07:18] <jmichaelx> Kamilion: ty, i appreciate the response. for some reason it isn't working for me.
[07:19] <Kamilion> jmichaelx: got anywhere you can SSH to and test from a remote location?
[07:19] <haardz> Hello all! How can I fix this error message: "no such file or directory"
[07:19] <Zeu5> Kamilion: there is no mysqld inside my /etc/inti.d
[07:19] <indus> haardz, make a adirectory there then :D
[07:19] <haardz> indus, let me try it
[07:19] <indus> haardz, you are trying to search for something which is not there
[07:19] <hotfloppy> lol
[07:19] <ubutom_> xampp is a web server , worked quite well for a little site i made a while ago
[07:19] <jmichaelx> Kamilion: yes, i could. i guess that would have been a quicker means to troubleshooting this
[07:19] <hotfloppy> !icon
[07:20] <haardz> indus, actually is there
[07:20] <Kamilion> Zeu5: perhaps you should try sysv-rc-conf then?
[07:20] <indus> haardz, ok
[07:20] <Zeu5> Kamilion: tks i go try
[07:20] <Eugene89> sorry for asking again, but I've tried using mysql administrator to schedule weekly backups for my sql databases, but it's not working. How should I schedule weekly backups for my sql databases in that case?
[07:20] <hotfloppy> indus: how to resize all of my desktop icon size ? other than the stretch option..
[07:21] <haardz> indus, dont work :/
[07:21] <hotfloppy> indus: how to resize all of my desktop icon size ? other than the stretch option..
[07:22] <indus> hotfloppy, use smaller icons
[07:22] <indus> hotfloppy, smaller icon set i mean
[07:23] <indus> hotfloppy, but iam not much into customization, you can read some online guides
[07:23] <Kartagis> Eugene89, set up a crontab to run mysqldump
[07:23] <indus> hotfloppy, but unless someone creates a diff size icon, you wont get it
[07:23] <Kamilion> *sigh* I came into the channel asking for help; in vbox 3.2.4 my lucid 64 server was going bonkers during the install, checked my md5sums, did the iso verify, etc etc etc... ten times this afternoon it broke. Another four times tonight. Now -- same iso, same vbox, same settings, no changes, I just got a successful install. ARRRRRRGH!
[07:24] <jmichaelx> Kamilion: i ssh'd into a server at work, and security.ubuntu.com repo is not reachable from there, either
[07:24] <Docteh> Kamilion: what kind of bonkers
[07:24] <Eugene89> Kartagis, would that allow my backup to run without logging in?
[07:24] <Kartagis> Eugene89, yes
[07:24] <indus> jmichaelx, must be down then
[07:24] <Kamilion> jmichaelx: I get directed to auckland.canonical.com; and WFM
[07:25] <Kamilion> sec, SSHing to work...
[07:25] <Kane_Hart> anyone able to link me to like dns/lamp setup.. I got lamp working and ftp working and my site working my next thing I want to do is add just 1 domain with working dns so like mysite.com to my ip but not sure how. Anyone able to help me.. I get 2 ip's too
[07:25] <indus> jmichaelx, ok i ping it, i have packet loss
[07:25] <hotfloppy> indus: thanks. i think i should post this issue on Ubuntu brainstorm..
[07:25] <Eugene89> Kartagis, Thanks. I will read up more on crontab
[07:25] <indus> hotfloppy, brainstorm? i dont think this wil be approvied
[07:25] <jmichaelx> ok, interesting. ty for the feedback.
[07:25] <Docteh> Kane_Hart: if your ip is not static you'll want to have dns hosted somewhere else
[07:26] <banker247> how do you source a file?
[07:26] <Kamilion> ... Okay, I'm seeing packetloss from work. (That's NASA Ames, directly on the MAE WEST interchange.) Something is indeed amiss, jmichaelx.
[07:26] <wildbat_laptop> is there a macro/scripting tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or Window message?
[07:26] <Kane_Hart> Docteh this a dedicated server
[07:26] <Kane_Hart> and its static
[07:26] <jmichaelx> hmm
[07:26] <Kane_Hart> I got like 5 ips lol
[07:26] <Docteh> ok
[07:27] <Kamilion> Kane_Hart: I've got a nice lucid nginx howto for php+rails with passenger...
[07:27] <Kartagis> Eugene89, no problem. the command you need to run is mysqldump -uuser -ppass [database] > db.sql
[07:27] <garden_> hello
[07:27] <Kane_Hart> tbh don't know one word you just said besides php :P
[07:27] <Kane_Hart> I just have lamp/ftp all working just want domain working :P
[07:28] <hotfloppy> indus: really? i think if they implementing the option to easily change the desktop icon size would be nice.. anyways, thanks..
[07:28] <garden_> may I ask you a queston??????
[07:28] <Docteh> Kane_Hart: unless you're using somethinh fancy to manage virtualhosts, any old uh hmm, bind/named tut should work
[07:28] <Eugene89> Kartagis, What about to store it in a certain directory? Or would you kindly direct me somewhere which would have all the information? Sorry for troubling you
[07:28] <Kamilion> Kane_Hart: If you're not hosting your own DNS and neither is your webhost; you might try freedns.afraid.org
[07:29] <Kartagis> Eugene89, mysqldump -uuser -ppass [database] > /path/to/db.sql
[07:29] <Kane_Hart> would
[07:29] <Kane_Hart> namecheap have it
[07:29] <Kane_Hart> ok if I run dns elsewhere like namecheap
[07:29] <Kamilion> Yes, but it depends if you've set it up to use it.
[07:29] <Kane_Hart> how do I make it so when points to server ip
[07:29] <Docteh> Kane_Hart: step one is to log in to where you set your nameserver for the domain and try to assign it one of your ip addresses, that might require getting some guy (the techs) to do it
[07:29] <Kane_Hart> that the server accepts it to show that domain as the site
[07:29] <flodin> hey guys, ftp.df.lth.se is down "for a few days" (according to the 503 response) in case you didn't know
[07:30] <boko> somebody help?
[07:30] <flodin> might want to take it off the ubuntu mirror rotation
[07:30] <Kamilion> Set an A record pointing from the name you want to the IP you're at.
[07:30] <Kamilion> oh.
[07:30] <trijntje> Is there a program for ubuntu that shows running programs sorted to their network usage?
[07:30] <indus> hotfloppy, well, if you mean , the one click will switch between icons of difff sizes, then its easy but if you want something that auto creates a smaller icon instead of stretch, then quite tough
[07:30] <boko> * Connecting to irc.mvr.gamezlan.net (6667)
[07:30] <boko> Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
[07:30] <boko> ircd-hybrid
[07:30] <Kamilion> Okay, you need to tell apache which vhost to use or use *:80
[07:31] <Docteh> trijntje: I keep forgetting the name of the cool app that deals with that :(
[07:31] <Docteh> try iptraf maybe
[07:31] <Kamilion> So, you need someone who knows apache2 vhost stuff. Sorry; I use nginx.
[07:31] <Docteh> Kamilion: sounds like he just need a bind howto
[07:31] <hotfloppy> indus: yes, i want those one click option :) so, will it get approve ?
[07:32] <Kamilion> Docteh: Nope, I've interpreted he has the A record, and lacks the apache vhost
[07:32] <Docteh> ohhh
[07:32] <indus> hotfloppy, how do i know :D
[07:32] <trijntje> Docteh, ill try iptraf, give a call when the cool app comes to mind ;)
[07:32] <indus> hotfloppy, i dont own canonical :)
[07:32] <hotfloppy> indus: lol
[07:32] <Kamilion> " how do I make it so when points to server ip that the server accepts it to show that domain as the site" -- sounds like 'how do I set up apache2 vhosts" to me
[07:32] <greezmunkey> trijntje: Docteh iptraf will do that...
[07:32] <Docteh> oh i missed that
[07:33] <Kamilion> he posted it on two lines ;)
[07:33] <Docteh> oops
[07:33] <Docteh> i somehow blame my vga terminal for that
[07:33] <indus> hotfloppy, good lucken
[07:33]  * Docteh steals a 20
[07:33] <Kamilion> for me with nginx; I do: listen 80; server_name www.sllabs.com;
[07:33] <boko> any of you guys suguest
[07:33] <carlitos__> hi all
[07:34] <banker247> how do you source a file/
[07:34] <boko> what do i do
[07:34] <hotfloppy> indus: thanks buddy
[07:34] <Docteh> rails guy?
[07:34] <trijntje> greezmunkey, looking through the docs now, do you have any pointers on how to make iptraf do that?
[07:34] <Kamilion> banker: in the terminal? "source whatever.sh"
[07:34] <carlitos__> any help ?  after I update to ubuntu 10.04 I got this  mesagge  mounting none  on /dev failed
[07:35] <indus> hotfloppy, why dont you create a smaller icon set yourself
[07:35] <greezmunkey> trijntje: you want it to track ip usabe by program/process? It does that out of the box.
[07:35] <indus> hotfloppy, using some tool like inkscape,
[07:35] <Docteh> fire it up and pick an interface
[07:35] <indus> hotfloppy, but i think you can resize the icons using any graphic tool really, like gimp
[07:36] <greezmunkey> iptraf
[07:36] <greezmunkey> bah
[07:36] <wise_crypt> hi.. how can i remove network manager from my DE without removing my DE i try sudo apt-get remove network-manager --purge but it said my DE will be romoved
[07:36] <Docteh> carlitos__: is this vague error attached to something else? like not booting? the cdrom drive is trying to strangle you? ;)
[07:36] <R3cur51v3> wise_crypt, why do you want to remove it?
[07:36] <Docteh> wise_crypt: fiddle with update-rc.d and disable it
[07:37] <zfmf> hello, i try to install ubuntu 10.04 server editon , on step 4 prepare disk spaace i get nothing, what can be the problem here?
[07:37] <trijntje> greezmunkey, Docteh, just found nethogs, does the exact thing I needed. Thanks for your help
[07:37] <wise_crypt> Docteh: i have disabled it but it keeps showing
[07:37] <R3cur51v3> wise_crypt, I'm pretty sure you can easily remove the notification area icon if you want to
[07:37] <hetii> Hello
[07:37] <mechdave> wise_crypt, do you want to just get rid of the applet or the whole manager?
[07:37] <greezmunkey> trijntje: yeah, nethogs gives you overall stats, it's nice too.
[07:37] <wise_crypt> R3cur51v3: i know i just want to do it manually without involving nm at all
[07:38] <Kartagis> I have this problem with facebook videos. I can never watch them in full length. what to do?
[07:38] <carlitos__> I  can not access
[07:38] <carlitos__> :S
[07:38] <hetii> Q: I try to use webdav functionality from site webdav.mydrive.ch but i can download just the file not a hole direcotry with a files, what can be wrong ?
[07:38] <wise_crypt> *it = my interface setting
[07:38] <Docteh> wise_crypt: the NetworkManagerDispatcher maybe wont come home from work tonight? ;)
[07:39] <wise_crypt> Docteh: hihihi
[07:39] <hotfloppy> indus: actually, i want the option to resize the icon like in Kubuntu
[07:39] <Kamilion> Ooooh nethogs is just what i needed to sit next to htop!
[07:39] <hotfloppy> indus: or maybe in Windoze
[07:39] <wise_crypt> nm is buggy in every distro i have tried
[07:40] <Docteh> its worked well enough for me, on servers i move it to /root since i'm lazy
[07:40] <mechdave> works fine for me
[07:40] <wise_crypt> damn RHEL
[07:40] <Docteh> but it works great on my laptop
[07:40] <mechdave> just sits there and does its thing, much harder to configure network without it :)
[07:41] <wise_crypt> ya if your device is supported by the current kernel :P
[07:41] <Docteh> not much harder
[07:41] <fpauser__> hi there! just tried to disable desktop-effects, in theory it looks good (checked "no desktop effects") but in reality the shadow-effect does not go away and the gnome task-switcher (alt-tab) does not come up... any hints how to reset gnome-settings in terms of "compiz" and "taskswitcher"?
[07:41] <Kamilion> I never seem to have any problems with network manager, from simple ethernet-only, most laptops we've bought with decent linux-supported wifi adapters and plenty of 3G devices.
[07:42] <indus> hotfloppy, how is that option
[07:42] <indus> hotfloppy, what can be done in k ubuntu
[07:43] <Kamilion> of course, since I do my research before I buy hardware, I expect it to work :P  But hey -- have you considered swapping out your notebook's minipci wifi card with something that's supported?
[07:43] <Docteh> lucky
[07:43] <Docteh> most of my recent hardware has been cheapo stuff
[07:43] <wise_crypt> Docteh: lol
[07:44] <Kamilion> The sad thing is; I've had better luck with linux supporting the cheaper stuff ;)
[07:44] <Docteh> I've got a Q6600 with 1 gig of ram right now
[07:44] <profxavier> 1GB, why ?
[07:44] <wise_crypt> guys my question still stands
[07:45] <mechdave> Kamilion, too true, the more common the chipset the better for Linux :)
[07:45] <Docteh> wise_crypt: just bump off /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher
[07:45] <Kamilion> wise_crypt: Hold on, lemme go find the gconf knob that hides the icon.
[07:45] <Docteh> wise_crypt: or is it still showing without network manager actualyl running?
[07:45] <hotfloppy> indus: in Kubuntu, you can resize all desktop icon size into smaller size with just one option / dialog box..
[07:46] <Docteh> it used to only show up if there was something to helpfull mismanager
[07:46] <Kamilion> oh, hey, I sort of realized... You could just install wicd -- that conflicts with network-manager
[07:46] <wise_crypt> Kamilion: i can remove the icon if i want to, it removing nm i asked
[07:46] <indus> hotfloppy, i think in ubuntu gconf editor might have a solution
[07:46] <Kamilion> should be an easier task removing wicd than NM.
[07:47] <wise_crypt> bumb
[07:47] <Docteh> how have you tried disabling it?
[07:48] <greezmunkey> wise_crypt: I think you can do that, but it may raise hedoublehockeysticks with future updates.
[07:48] <Docteh> if theres a networkmanager.conf in /etc/init rename that to blah.disabled?
[07:48] <wise_crypt> greezmunkey: hmm
[07:48] <thune3> fpauser__: System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts "Move between windows, using a popup window" <---- check that
[07:49] <hotfloppy> indus: checking the gconf-editor..
[07:49] <hotfloppy> indus: i'll be back here later..
[07:49] <indus> kk
[07:50] <tasslehoff> Any repo that can give me emacs >= 23.2?
[07:50] <banker247> how do you unload acpi-cpufreq
[07:50] <indus> hotfloppy, someeone has a brainstrom idea
[07:50] <indus> hotfloppy, googled it
[07:51] <Docteh> banker247: why do you want to remove it?
[07:51] <greezmunkey> wise_crypt: sudo apt-get remove network-manager, according to quite a few posts. I suppose you can always reinstall if needed, later.
[07:51] <banker247> trying to undervolt
[07:51] <Docteh> could try blacklisting it to prevent it from loading if you cant rmmod it
[07:51] <Kamilion> banker247: 'rmmod acpi-cpufreq'
[07:51] <nsh> is it possible for a non-root user to mount a remote NFS share?
[07:51]  * Sauron  buenos dias
[07:51] <nsh> without suid mount
[07:51] <hotfloppy> indus: i already search the brainstorm with "icon size" as a keyword, but has no luck..
[07:52] <Docteh> nsh: only if you specify user flag in fstab
[07:52] <nsh> hmm
[07:52] <wise_crypt> greezmunkey: sudo apt-get remove network-manager --purge without purging ?
[07:52] <Docteh> nsh: you could write your own setuid mount app that only takes the args you want
[07:52] <indus> hotfloppy, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/12035/
[07:52] <nsh> Docteh, fstab on the sharing machine?
[07:52] <Docteh> i think mount() is a kernel call
[07:52] <Docteh> nsh: fstab on the computer mounting
[07:54] <zetheroo> why do RTF files always ask how you want them to be opened ... even when the app has been set in Open With in properties ... ?
[07:54] <nsh> i can't see what the kernel can request from the remote machine over the network that a regular user couldn't, theoretically
[07:54] <nsh> i should read up the protocol i guses
[07:55] <Kamilion> nsh: here's my nfs client line: <IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/DumpSpace /media/bbdump nfs rw,soft,user,noauto 0 0
[07:55] <Docteh> nsh: i must have interpreted that question wrong
[07:55] <zetheroo> seems to me that RTF files are thought to be executable ... should not be ... is there a way to change this system-wide?
[07:55] <Docteh> nsh: ports below 1024 require system user to open on linux/unix/etc, that might be part of it
[07:56] <nsh> oh, NFS checks the originating port, perhaps
[07:56] <nsh> for the RPC call
[07:56] <indus> hotfloppy, ok found something
[07:56] <indus> hotfloppy,
[07:56] <indus> - Open up Nautilus.
[07:56] <indus> - Select the edit menu
[07:56] <indus> - Select the Perferences item
[07:56] <indus> - Choose the view catagory
[07:56] <FloodBot4> indus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:56] <indus> - Under Icon View Defaults modify the Default Zoom Level
[07:56] <nsh> or requires the mounter to have an open port below 1024 to receive data on
[07:56] <nsh> that would make sense
[07:56] <hotfloppy> indus: where is the other solution? :( by reading the comment, everyone suggesting the Nautilus preferences..
[07:56] <hotfloppy> ops..
[07:57] <hotfloppy> indus: i'm a slow typist..
[07:57] <Docteh> nsh: it also might just not care, nfs is known to be difficult to secure
[07:57] <indus> hotfloppy, yea gconf editor > apps > nautilus > icon view thumbnail size
[07:57]  * nsh nods
[07:57] <Kamilion> nsh: I've got nautilus mount/umountable NFS drives on my karmic and lucid workstations right now with the above fstab line.
[07:57] <nsh> Kamilion, right
[07:57] <Docteh> nfsv4 has some kerberos stuff but i dont know anything about kerberos
[07:57] <hotfloppy> indus: i already get the nautilus preferences, but i want to change only the desktop icon size..
[07:57]  * nsh reads up
[07:58] <indus> hotfloppy, only desktop, hmm
[07:58] <hotfloppy> indus: thats why i said "like the one in Kubuntu"
[07:58] <hotfloppy> indus: in Kubuntu, they change only desktop icon size..
[07:58] <indus> hotfloppy, oh ok
[07:59] <indus> hotfloppy, i guess only solution is manually cchange it
[07:59] <hotfloppy> indus: but i love gnome :-(
[07:59] <Docteh> if i could find a filesystem where different computers share the block device but dont thwomp on each others files as a curticy I'd be really happy
[07:59] <Kamilion> nsh: <IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/DumpSpace /media/bbdump nfs rw,soft,user,noauto 0 0      --- just make sure it's a directory in /media if you want nautilus to manage it. noauto means it isn't mounted at boot, and karmic and lucid use policykit or it's ilk to trigger the mount via gvfs without a suid mount IIRC.
[07:59] <hotfloppy> indus: yeap, i thought so..
[07:59] <nsh> Kamilion, thanks, but i'm just pondering the matter without any particular application
[07:59] <hotfloppy> indus: thats why people on brainstorm should implement this idea
[08:00] <Kamilion> nsh: from the commandline, you can use gvfs-mount to use the same framework.
[08:00] <kb-allstar> #ubuntu10.04
[08:00] <indus> hotfloppy, well its cosmetic so who knows when they will approve it
[08:00] <kb-allstar> ooops sry guys
[08:00] <Docteh> nsh: read up on iscsi if you have a chance
[08:00] <nsh> will do
[08:01] <Kamilion> nsh: try gvfs-mount --list to see what it reports it can deal with.
[08:01] <zetheroo> chmod -Rv a-x *.rtf   How do I get this to work on all subdirectories and not just within the one main directory?
[08:01] <hotfloppy> indus: hope they will approve it.. for now, got to do it the hard way..
[08:01] <nsh> noted with thanks
[08:01] <hotfloppy> indus: anyways, thanks for your help :)
[08:01] <indus> ya sure hope so
[08:01] <Docteh> zetheroo: that R isn't doing it?
[08:02] <Kamilion> nsh: and I just verified I can mount and unmount via a SSH login even without being logged into gnome on the console.
[08:02] <zetheroo> Docteh: no
[08:02] <Docteh> odd
[08:02] <Docteh> lowercase?
[08:02] <nsh> Kamilion, that's nice
[08:02] <indus> hotfloppy, have  a nice day :)
[08:02] <hotfloppy> indus: yeah, you too :)
[08:03] <zetheroo> Docteh: I just did that command from within my Documents folder and it only took care of the RTF's within that folder and not in the subdir's
[08:03] <Docteh> zetheroo: you might have to fiddle with find and xargs but i just suck at using it
[08:03] <Kamilion> nsh: so it seems to only rely on the proper libraries and infrastructure to be there -- not a whole running GUI session.
[08:03]  * nsh nods
[08:04] <Kamilion> I get good speeds too -- 60-70MB/sec over GigE between two amd 780G boards,
[08:04] <kb-allstar> hi guys, i have a question for you, I use scribus as a replacement for publisher, but now i want to open it somewhere else, but i can't because it is saved as a .sla file.  I checked google but i didn't see anything that would change the filetype.  any suggestions?
[08:04] <eraggo> anyone else noticed that i need root priviledges to connect bluetooth device via rfcomm?
[08:04] <zetheroo> in lowercase it gives: chmod: invalid mode: `-rv'
[08:05] <Kamilion> kb-allstar: download scribus 'somewhere else' to open the file.
[08:05] <Kamilion> There is a working windows version too.
[08:05] <Docteh> zetheroo: find -name "*.rtf" | xargs chmod a-x
[08:05] <kb-allstar> im using photobucket online
[08:05] <Kamilion> You'll have to open it in scribus and export it as an image file then.
[08:05] <kb-allstar> and it wont allow me to use .sla filetypes
[08:05] <Docteh> zetheroo: that may or may not be right btw ;)
[08:06] <zetheroo> Doctech: got a heap of "cannot access" messages
[08:06] <Docteh> heh where did you run it from?
[08:06] <bonez2046> why does this command 'tar zcvf .foo/* ~/archive/bar' end up, after several minutes, with this error "tar: Removing leading `/' from member names" and this "/home/scott/archive/" and this finally "tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors" with the result that nothing gets tarred?
[08:07] <zetheroo> chmod: cannot access `Reply.rtf': No such file or directory
[08:07] <disappearedng> Hey everyone when I start ubuntu it says it cannot find some key which requires ecrypt-mount-private. In /home/<mynick> I am seeing HOW YO ACESS YOUR DESKTOP and a README file. What is going on?
[08:07] <Kamilion> bonez2046: I don't see a tarfile specified in that.
[08:07] <zetheroo> Docteh: running it from withink the Documents folder
[08:07] <Docteh> zetheroo: oh is there spaces in some of the filenames?
[08:08] <zetheroo> Reply.rtf .... no spaces there
[08:08] <Colloguy> is it possible to set a specific environment variable for all sudo-ed commands?
[08:08] <Kamilion> bonez2046: You sure you don't mean tar zcvf /home/scott/tarfile.tar .foo/* ~/archive/bar
[08:08] <sealive> hi i got a Quest: if the kernel changes now on lucid32bit its image 22 is the downloadebal CD image file then upgreadet to ?
[08:08] <bonez2046> Kamilion: ok, here's the whole command "tar zcvf .VirtualBox/* ~/archive" I am wanting to backup ~/.VirtualBox and it's contents and subfolders, and save it to ~/archive/
[08:08] <nsh> Docteh, the NFS Howto explains thus: The TCP ports 1-1024 are reserved for root's use (and therefore sometimes referred to as "secure ports") A non-root user cannot bind these ports. Adding the secure option to an /etc/exports means that it will only listed to requests coming from ports 1-1024 on the client, so that a malicious non-root user on the client cannot come along and open up a spoofed NFS dialogue on a non-reserved port. This option is set by default.
[08:08] <Docteh> zetheroo: check for something like "Swordy Reply.rtf"
[08:08] <MauL^> hi. when I plug a usb harddisk, ubuntu does not recognize it automatically. how can I force it ?
[08:09] <Kamilion> bonez2046: Easy enough: tar -cjvf ~/vbox.tar.bz2 ~/.Virtualbox
[08:09] <zetheroo> chmod: cannot access `faith_may27.rtf': No such file or directory
[08:09] <Kamilion> er wait
[08:09] <zetheroo> chmod: cannot access `works_may30.rtf': No such file or directory
[08:09] <disappearedng> ok quick question, when I start ubuntu, it didn't mount my system because of some ecrypt thing, then I chmod 755 my /home/ directory, and now when I logs in it appears that my entire /home is gone, is there anything I could do?
[08:10] <Kamilion> bonez2046: tar -cpvf ~/archive/vbox.tar ~/.Virtualbox
[08:10] <Docteh> zetheroo: yea that command just doesn't work with spaces in file names
[08:10] <Kamilion> Better to compress it after the fact with 'pbzip2 -9 ~/archive/vbox.tar'
[08:10] <zetheroo> Doctech: where are the spaces? Those are underscores ...
[08:10] <zetheroo> Docteh: btw ... whats the xargs for?
[08:11] <Kamilion> or 'pigz -9 ~/archive/vbox.tar'
[08:11] <bonez2046> Kamilion: I had the source and destination backwards, didn't I.. and I didn't name the archive..
[08:11] <Docteh> zetheroo: run just the find command and then look at that for filenames with spaces
[08:12] <Kamilion> bonez2046: Think about it this way: you can only specify one tarfile, so it goes first. Then you specify *as many file/dirs* as you need after.
[08:12] <zetheroo> Docteh: someone from #linux just said to do this ... wdyt?     find -name \*.rtf -type f -exec chmod a-x {} +
[08:12] <bonez2046> ok.. thanks a bunch
[08:12] <Kamilion> zetheroo: don't do that.
[08:12] <Docteh> hmmm looks good to me
[08:12] <darkangel> whats the command in the terminal to show what hardware we have in the computer, specifically the wireless card
[08:12] <Kamilion> zetheroo: that will strip execute permissions from ...
[08:12] <Kamilion> RTF file?
[08:13] <Kamilion> Okay, nevermind, misread that!
[08:13] <MauL^> hi. when I plug a usb harddisk, ubuntu does not recognize it automatically. how can I force it ?
[08:13] <zetheroo> Kamilion: yes ? No?
[08:13] <Docteh> Kamilion: Manual.rtf  yea i love that in a file name ;)
[08:13] <zetheroo> :)
[08:13] <Kamilion> zetheroo: fine!
[08:13] <eraggo> darkangel: lspci?
[08:13]  * Kamilion grumbles and increases his font size
[08:13] <darkangel> awesome thankyou eraggo
[08:15] <zetheroo> Kamilion: does it matter where I do that command from?
[08:16] <Kamilion> zetheroo: yeah, it will only search below where you are; if you do it from /home/username/ it will only search /home/username/*
[08:16] <milton_> Hello..
[08:16]  * Docteh steals your stapler
[08:16] <zetheroo> Kamilion: will it search also within the subdirs?
[08:17] <Kamilion> imgonnaburnthisplacedown.
[08:17] <Kamilion> zetheroo: Not sure, don't really know find syntax too well.
[08:17] <Docteh> zetheroo: thats why you're using find
[08:17] <Kamilion> I don't see a maxdepth in there though, so I think it should.
[08:17] <milton_> Hello.  Guys could some body help me.. am having a little problem installing some programs in ubuntu
[08:18] <Docteh> Kamilion: why burn this place down
[08:18] <kb-allstar> what does EOF stand for in regards to python programming?
[08:18] <Docteh> milton_: what programs
[08:18] <Docteh> kb-allstar: end of file
[08:18] <Kamilion> Docteh: you stole someone's stapler. Office space.
[08:18] <kb-allstar> thanks Docteh
[08:18] <zetheroo> oh cool ... looks like it worked :)
[08:18] <Docteh> Kamilion: lol since milton_ didn't get it i totally forgot
[08:19] <Kamilion> Ah well.
[08:19] <milton_> hey people can some body help
[08:19] <vega> !ask | milton_
[08:20] <Kamilion> milton_: We will need something a little less vauge than 'problem installing software'.
[08:20] <milton_> Thanks man.. Yes I've installed the  a pacman game in ubuntu but it doesn't show up in the games tab
[08:21] <Kamilion> Try logging out and logging in once and seeing if it shows up.
[08:21] <mojodojo87> Hello, I figured out why my ATI 4650 was flickering alot, it was due to it being pluged into CRT2 instead of CRT1 port, idk why this made a difference didn't on windows but thought I would let someone know in case someone else has a simular problem.
[08:21] <damoxc> does anyone know if there is something wrong with security.ubuntu.com?
[08:22] <Kamilion> damoxc: yes, several of us have noticed it's losing packets.
[08:22] <damoxc> Kamilion: not just me then :)
[08:22] <eraggo> Kamilion: not only us :)
[08:22] <Kamilion> damoxc: Not everyone is having issues; I'm fine from home but work's busted.
[08:22] <milton_> Ok I'll try it now I'll come back if it fail..
[08:22] <zetheroo> I get a message in the Ubuntu forums saying: You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre  4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this  section.    .... Why?
[08:23] <damoxc> Kamilion: i'm experiencing the issue from work and in our dc at a seperate location
[08:23] <Kamilion> eraggo: You have more useful information?
[08:23] <eraggo> not useful :/ i misread us as US
[08:23] <Kamilion> That is still a useful distinction. I am in california, my work is directly connected to the MAE WEST fiber drop.
[08:24] <Kamilion> I'm on comcast and seeing no issue here.
[08:25] <sjr_> Hey my sound isnt working with ubuntu 10.04, stops after a while. Pulseaudio wont start says module-hal-detect not found.
[08:25] <Kamilion> milton: any luck?
[08:26] <milton> Wooooooooo  You Guys ROCKSSSS
[08:26] <milton> I have one more Question..
[08:26] <Kamilion> Shoot.
[08:26] <User01> can i install Linux with the default drivers so it would not conflict when putting the HD on another pc
[08:27] <sjr_> Hey my sound isnt working with ubuntu 10.04, stops after a while. Pulseaudio wont start says module-hal-detect not found.
[08:27] <Kamilion> User01: That is the default configuration of all ubuntu installations.
[08:27] <sjr_> Whoops sorry
[08:27] <milton> I have downloded some tutorials but I cant find them..
[08:27] <zetheroo> User01: you want to swap a HDD between to systems running different OS's?
[08:27] <User01> kamilion and how could I go about doing that
[08:27] <Kamilion> milton: have you checked your Downloads directory in your homedir?
[08:27] <milton> where does ubuntu saves those files I installed using the synaptic thing..
[08:27] <Docteh> User01: step one, drag it over to other computer ;)
[08:28] <zetheroo> haha
[08:28] <jamezek> hey my ubuntu 10.04 wireless internet doesn't work- i have to manually select it upon startup
[08:28] <Kamilion> User01: ubuntu is not like microsoft who locks a license to hardware -- just install ubuntu to the hard drive and bring it to the other computer.
[08:28] <User01> zetheroo: I want to install the os on a computer that won't do it itself via cd
[08:28] <Docteh> User01: so steal its hd and install onto that
[08:28] <User01> kamilion really??
[08:28] <Kamilion> User01: REALLY.
[08:28] <milton> Let me Check..
[08:28] <Kamilion> It's just that easy.
[08:28] <jamezek> how do i make my wireless internet automatically connect
[08:29] <User01> so it just works?!
[08:29] <Kamilion> yep.
[08:29] <zetheroo> User01: you can install Ubuntu to a HDD and then take it and plug it into another machine and boot off of it there ... done that before :)
[08:29] <Kamilion> Crazy, huh?
[08:29] <User01> without blue screens lol
[08:29] <Kamilion> yep!
[08:29] <User01> wow thanks ppl
[08:29] <User01> seriouslu
[08:29] <Kamilion> No hassle, as long as the bios finds the drive. Enjoy!
[08:29] <zetheroo> jamezek: caress it :P
[08:29] <Kamilion> Drop by again if you need some help setting up a boot menu.
[08:29] <User01> wow thanks I'm happyaron now
[08:29] <User01> happy ;)
[08:30] <Kamilion> so you can choose which drive to start from
[08:30] <Yosi> any easy way to determine which drive ubuntu installed grub onto..  i think it put in on my windows sata drive!!
[08:30] <zetheroo> User01: have fun ;)
[08:30] <User01> I just cant get it to boot from a cd it shuts down
[08:30] <jamezek> how come my firefox always hangs on 10.04
[08:30] <User01> my computer is saved wooot
[08:30] <Kamilion> Yosi: think you can check system.map for that.
[08:30] <jamezek> i tried doing the ipv6 thing but it doesn't help
[08:31] <Kamilion> User01: And try xubuntu if you find the normal one to be too heavy for older PCs.
[08:31] <User01> I still cant  believe ut
[08:31] <zetheroo> User01: does the system shut off when you try to boot from CD?
[08:31] <User01> yes
[08:31] <Yosi> what is system.map?
[08:31] <Kamilion> jamezek: You have a problem with your router/dslmodem/cablemodem's DNS resolver.
[08:31] <Docteh> Kamilion: i heard xfce wasn't all that cut down
[08:31] <Kamilion> Yosi: check /boot/system.map I think
[08:31] <User01> every time gpu overheats buy it runs fine inside linux
[08:31] <zetheroo> User01: and when the system is running ... can you use the optical drive just fine?
[08:31] <Yosi> thanks
[08:32] <User01> yes it's a pata drive
[08:32] <jamezek> kamilion: is there a way to fix it
[08:32] <milton> Nothing Kamilton..  I  reinstalled the tutorials and even get in the Homedir Downloads  but nothing..
[08:32] <User01> the pc recognizes it
[08:32] <jamezek> cos it worked fine with 9.10 before
[08:32] <Kamilion> Docteh: it ain't, but it'll run okay on 256MB or below a lot better than gnome.
[08:32] <User01> pata being the pins on my 2.5" lapop hdd
[08:32] <zetheroo> User01: I had a similar issue with my system ... my PSU was kicking it
[08:32] <User01> ahh
[08:32] <Yosi> kamilion: no such file exists
[08:33] <Kamilion> jamezek: Probably. Get a new firmware for your router or ask your ISP to upgrade your modem.
[08:33] <zetheroo> User01: oh thsi is a laptop?
[08:33] <User01> zetheroo so you just plug and play?
[08:33] <jamezek> ok
[08:33] <nuboon2age> i just put in not one but two differnet 2GB USB pen drives, and neither of them automount in Lucid.  Any ideas what to do?
[08:33] <Kamilion> jamezek: the problem usually occurs in older network gear that improperly DROPS valid DNS queries.
[08:33] <zetheroo> User01: plug and play what?
[08:33] <llutz> Yosi: /boot/system.map-$(uname -r)        is the kernel symbol table
[08:33] <jamezek> right
[08:33] <User01> yes it's an hp dv 8000 17" nice lappy
[08:34] <milton> Hey Kamilton  I was thinking that this might have to do with something in the CONSOLE prompt thing.. What you think
[08:34] <User01> zetheroo: the freshly installed linux os from my other pc to my broken laptop
[08:34] <jamezek> is there another way to do it without replacing my modem like with some tweaking
[08:34] <zetheroo> User01: ahh I see ... and the system turns off when you try to boot from a CD ... and yet when the system is running you can use the CDrom just fine
[08:34] <Kamilion> jamezek: The other option is to rely on your local computer to do the lookups and skip your ISP entirely, by setting your DNS at <IP_ADDRESS> / <IP_ADDRESS> for google's public DNS or using pdns-recursor
[08:35] <User01> zetgeroo yes
[08:35] <Kamilion> jamezek: apt-get install pdns-recursor, set nameserver to <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:35] <jamezek> let me try
[08:35] <User01> everything works fine except for when trying to install os
[08:35] <zetheroo> User01: no warranty on the laptop I am guessing?
[08:35] <User01> bope
[08:35] <User01> nope
[08:35] <dubey> hello
[08:35] <dubey> i am using ubuntu 10.04 and want to download driver for hp M1213nf MSP printer
[08:35] <Kamilion> jamezek: Personally, I just use google's DNS at <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:35] <milton> Hey Kamilion , could I solve this thing using the console utility program
[08:35] <Bodman456> hi guys
[08:35] <Yosi> llutz: I get an no such file or directory error
[08:35] <zetheroo> User01: sucks ...  Otherwise, you might have asked firefox to open the file, which would have stored it in /tmp and deleted it after a reboot.
[08:36] <dubey> what is the url to download linux printer drivers
[08:36] <zetheroo> User01: how do you know it overheats ... ? ... I mean besides the fact that's it's a HP ...
[08:37] <User01> real close* but does what you said still apply can I still boot linux without having o install it on the exact same pc
[08:37] <User01> linux- told me zetheroo
[08:37] <milton> Ok I'll try that
[08:37] <Kamilion> zetheroo: windows nvidia drivers complain about overheating; I've seen it.
[08:37] <User01> 94c limit reached shutting down
[08:37] <zetheroo> User01: so you have linux on it?
[08:37] <User01> had
[08:37] <Kamilion> User01: Get a can of compressed air and get all the crud out of it's fans.
[08:37] <User01> did
[08:38] <sjr_> pulseaudio wont start, ideas?
[08:38] <zetheroo> Kamilion: yeah ... tell me about it ... I have had dozens of them through my workshop ... overheating HP's that is
[08:38] <zetheroo> Kamilion: 9 out of 10 where Nvidia chipsets
[08:38] <Kamilion> Then the fans need replacement; prefereably with a better quality unit with decent bearings.
[08:38] <Bodman456> Kamilion: Compressed air is good, but be careful where you point the nozzle
[08:38] <User01> I just like to know if I can swap the hdd after installing linux on it with another pc and have it work
[08:38] <Kamilion> I get a lot of dells and HPs with stuck fans.
[08:38] <zetheroo> User01: yes
[08:39] <User01> woooooooohoooopp
[08:39] <zetheroo> User01: it will work ...
[08:39] <Kamilion> User01: Yes, ubuntu does hardware detection on every boot.
[08:39] <User01> thank you
[08:39] <User01> really?? whaoo
[08:39] <zetheroo> User01: but that will not solve your overheating issues ...
[08:39] <User01> saweeet screw windows heh
[08:39] <regint> is there a client for ubuntu for Juniper IPsec network?
[08:39] <User01> zethetoo no but it will saw me from parting out my laptop ;)
[08:40] <User01> save *
[08:40] <jamezek> i just did apt-get install pdns-recursor - how do i load it to change the nameserver
[08:40] <User01> and crying
[08:40] <zetheroo> User01: you can try manually controlling the fan speed if it's not spinning fast enouigh
[08:40] <Kamilion> If the fan is spinning slowly, User01, you should try to find a replacement cooler. And make sure you use good thermal compound like Artic Silver 5 or something
[08:41] <llutz> Yosi: strange, the file should come with the kernel-package
[08:41] <User01> zetheroo yes next boot I shall for sure
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[08:41] <Kamilion> jamezek: You using normal ubuntu with gnome and network-manager? Then just edit your auto eth0 and set your DNS to <IP_ADDRESS> or you can edit /etc/resolv.conf directly.
[08:41] <User01> kamilion: excellent idea except it's extremely hard to dismantlee a dv8000
[08:41] <zetheroo> User01: I run the temperature sensors in my panel which monitor temps and fan speeds ...  very handy
[08:41] <Kamilion> HAHAHAH yes! It IS! I HATE the DV series for that.
[08:42] <Yosi> Can it h grub on both D'surt installin
[08:42] <Kamilion> those cases are such PITAs.
[08:42] <Jordan_U> Yosi: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[08:42] <User01> kamilion that is absolutely the last resort and I end up chucking it at a wall eventually heh
[08:42] <Yosi> sudo grub-instal /dev/sdb
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Kamilion: network manager will recreate resolv.conf at startup so the dns needs adding in the nm config?
[08:42] <zetheroo> Kamilion: yeah, I was just going to say ... he will have to dis-assemble the darn thang ... :)
[08:42] <User01> zetheroo yup I did that aswell at least fir CPU th gpu didn't take
[08:42] <Kamilion> zetheroo: Hey, a $35 cooler on ebay's a lot cheaper than a $599 laptop replacement.
[08:43] <User01> kamilion very true mate
[08:43] <dubey> how to get latest hplip ?
[08:43] <Kamilion> the problem is, you have to get just the right MXM cooler for the right card
[08:43] <Kamilion> you're usually better off replacing the MXM card entirely sometimes, they're that model-specific.
[08:43] <zetheroo> Kamilion: oh certainly ... if one can take it all apart and put it all together it's a bargain :)
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Dubey: go to the hplip site. Grab the script. Mark it as executable and run it as user (not sudo)
[08:44] <User01> like mine I'd have to get the mobo aswell
[08:44] <zetheroo> User01: what are the system specs .... ?
[08:44] <dubey> ActionParsnip: can u pls. give the url ?
[08:44] <Yosi> Jordan: I ran the script but nothing happened?
[08:44] <User01> kamilion: listen to this I just paid some douchebag college I'd to fix it claiming he knows about both Linux and windows
[08:45] <zetheroo> User01: might be worth it to just get what life you can outta it and work on saving for a new system ... and maybe not another HP ... heh
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Dubey: unfortunately not. Webbrowsing is dog slow on my phone
[08:45] <Kamilion> It's not a matter of can, it's a matter of will/won't. I watched my ten year old niece build a beautiful amd desktop rig and install ubuntu on it, in less than an hour, with no help from me other than pointing out the little paper motherboard washers.
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Dubey: websearches will find it, no problem
[08:45] <dubey> np
[08:45] <User01> zetheroo an amd 2.0 runs wonders on ubuntu` with 1.0 gb ram Ari 200 express handles compiz well too
[08:45] <zetheroo> Kamilion: hehe ... de ja vu ... I recall you telling me that before :)
[08:46] <Kamilion> She could barely understand windows; and yet with nothing more than a phillips screwdriver and the instructions "everything only goes together one way, it's all logical, just take your time".
[08:46] <Pirate_Hunter> Kamilion, nice if that is true, what are the specs?
[08:46] <dubey> ok, thanks
[08:46] <User01> I should ask the college kid for a discount considering g he told me there was nothing he could do and still chargesbme full pics
[08:46] <Kamilion> Basic AM2 IGP rig in a toolless desktop case. Single harddrive, single optical, all SATA, no cards.
[08:46] <User01> price
[08:47] <zetheroo> Kamilion; yes, I have seen some people do really well ... and then I have seen utter disasters ... mostly the latter .... so it's to each his/her own ay ...
[08:47] <yata> can some one help
[08:48] <Kamilion> I chose the parts; gigabyte 780G microatx board, cheap toolless case from newegg, came out to something like $450; and boy were her parents proud. Never seen my brother grin so wide.
[08:48] <zetheroo> User01: I would not spend too much time or money on that machine ... unless you have plenty of either/each :)
[08:48] <ojii> hi everyone
[08:48] <User01> I'm gonna tell him to install ubunru i'm real glad I didn't pick up the laptop tonight I'll run this info by him very suprising it will most likely work
[08:48] <wise_crypt> it works
[08:48] <Kamilion> Got 'em a CPU cooler with a decent thermal pad on it so she didn't have to smear goop.
[08:48] <Pirate_Hunter> Kamilion, nice very nice I guess its possible if I can make the lil ones like ubuntu by removing any other OS choices I guess this is possible and they are dam happy about it :)
[08:49] <ojii> i have grub installed on my notebook but i never see the grub screen, now i have to enter it to boot a different kernel (newest gives me kernel panic) but i have no clue how to open GRUB, can someone help please?
[08:49] <User01> zetgeroo especially since he ild me crapi already k new
[08:49] <User01> told*
[08:49] <Kamilion> Pirate_Hunter: Eh, I just kill the top panel and set the bottom panel to resemble windows 7 and most of my users can barely tell the difference with crossover office and wine.
[08:49] <Gryllida> hey, I've got .tar.gz file and instructions say 'extract to your home folder and run a certain file'.. would it be something wrong if I just double click it and open with package manager?
[08:50] <zetheroo> User01: yeah ... good luck ;)
[08:50] <User01> if it autodetecs hardware on boot boy am in in debt
[08:50] <User01> thanks
[08:50] <Yosi> JORDAN: the script did the trick... it says no botloader on sdb only on sda (windows drive)... can i move it over?   or should i install a second copy?
[08:50] <Kamilion> User01: Also -- ask him if he has a USB CDROM DRIVE
[08:50] <zetheroo> User01: it does and it will
[08:50] <Galerien> And with KDE, most of them can use it as a windows (xp + 7)/2
[08:50] <Kamilion> you could just use that to install with.
[08:50] <User01> thanks guys I almost gave up
[08:50] <zetheroo> heck you could install from a USB flash disk ... heh
[08:50] <User01> kamilion he just in it for the money I'm thinking
[08:50] <Yosi> sdb is my raid array, rather have it on their than my windows drive
[08:51] <wildbat_laptop> is there a macro/scripting tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or Window message?
[08:51] <Pirate_Hunter> Kamilion, that could work if your users arent using apps like dreamweaver, expression web, CS* etc and your bothered to move the libraries over
[08:51] <Kamilion> Yosi: Install a second copy, disable the drive by yanking the SATA cable, and then ask windows to 'fixmbr' then 'fixboot' from a vista or 7 install disk. Hit Shift-f10 to get a commandprompt after you pick the language but before you hit Install Now.
[08:51] <DaveQB> Is security.ubuntu.com having issues?
[08:51] <User01> it will detect I'll tell him to pay more attention in school
[08:51] <Kamilion> Pirate_Hunter: They are. CS3.
[08:52] <Kamilion> DaveQB: yes, it is.
[08:52] <Pirate_Hunter> Kamilion, that works well with wine? I am very surprised...
[08:52] <DaveQB> Cool. Was worried it was just me. Thanks Kamilion
[08:52] <Yosi> Kamilion: if i install a second copy using grub-install /dev sdb, why do i have to fix the mbr on the windows drive can't i just leave grub their inactive?
[08:53] <Kamilion> Pirate_Hunter: Nope -- crossover office for CS3.
[08:53] <User01> he's  '4th year' anyway I'm curious to test this out before he gets my money I'd like somehing for it in return, thank you zetgeroo and kamilion you saved my sanity
[08:53] <Kamilion> Yosi: Guess ya don't!
[08:53] <Pirate_Hunter> Kamilion, Ahhh should've guess haven't used those in a long time why not just vm the window apps for all your users?
[08:54] <ojii> what's the key to get the grub (2?) screen on boot?
[08:54] <rww> ojii: hold down shift, if I remember correctly
[08:54] <Kamilion> Pirate_Hunter: They complain about network performance of remote desktop solutions.
[08:54] <zetheroo> User01: no worries mate ..
[08:54] <Yosi> Kamilion: by installin the new grub, will ubuntu know to update that grab whenever i upfdate the system or will it look for the old one?  also will it have my windows boot option there?
[08:55] <Kamilion> Yosi: Nope! It
[08:55] <Kamilion> Yosi: Nope! It'll only update one. First one it finds, usually the mbr on sda.
[08:55] <Pirate_Hunter> Kamilion, ah guess you can't make everyone happy I just tend to remove the option to make choices (that is when I can get away with it) either use it or don't simple as that
[08:55] <Gryllida> hey, I've got .tar.gz file and would it be something wrong if I just double click it and open with package manager?
[08:56] <oobie> anyone good at configuring synergy?
[08:56] <Kamilion> Pirate_Hunter: The other part is, I'm free to give them the finger and laugh in their face as well.
[08:56] <zetheroo> Gryllida:needs to be extracted first
[08:56] <Jordan_U> Kamilion: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades
[08:56] <zetheroo> oobie: heh ... just did that yesterday
[08:56] <Jordan_U> Yosi: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades
[08:56] <Kamilion> Yosi: <Jordan_U> Kamilion: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades
[08:57] <Yosi> Kamilion: is there any harm in having the grub on the windows drive instead of sdb (my raid array), if the sda ever dies, i can always boot from a live CD and install grub then...  no data loss write, just a bootloader...?
[08:57] <Kamilion> *scribbles that in google notebook*
[08:57] <Gryllida> zetheroo: extracted. then what?
[08:57] <oobie> zetheroo: through quicksynergy w/ ubuntu host?
[08:57] <Pirate_Hunter> Kamilion, that could work I actually laughed how many times i've thought about doing the same, oh you just made my morning thanks
[08:57] <zetheroo> Gryllida: depends what it is really ...
[08:57] <Smeh> anyone able to provide assistance with getting the cisco vpn client running on ubuntu 10.04? Currently it won't compile for me, patched or unpatched, CFLAGS changed or not..
[08:57] <zetheroo> oobie: two Ubuntu systems ... Karmic and Lucid ... yep
[08:58] <zetheroo> oobie: have you looked up the Ubuntu documentation on it?
[08:58] <Kamilion> Yosi: Pretty much, but I've actually booted grub2 from a cd and manually launched kernel+initrds without a problem in situations like that.
[08:58] <Jordan_U> Yosi: That command will also ask about other settings, just keep them at their defaults (some will be blank, that is normal)
[08:58] <Yosi> jordan and kamilion - thanks...
[08:58] <Gryllida> zetheroo: what should I look in it for?
[08:58] <Kamilion> Smeh: no option to run the Anyconnect VPN client?
[08:58] <iWolf> baiiiii!
[08:58] <zetheroo> Gryllida: what are you installing?
[08:58] <oobie> zetheroo: yea the problem is i have a dual monitor and a laptop client
[08:58] <Smeh> it's to a Cisco ASA host, so I don't think so? or does Anyconnect support connecting to cisco ASAs?
[08:58] <Kamilion> I use anyconnect to hit our ASA.
[08:59] <Jordan_U> Kamilion: Manually? That's what Super GRUB2 Disk is for :)
[08:59] <Smeh> well. In that case i'll look into Anyconnect, thanks.
[08:59] <zetheroo> oobie: well I am not working with dual monitors here ... just a laptop and desktop with one monitor
[08:59] <dde> does anyone here happen to know what that free massively multiplayer arcade style space ship shooter game is where you can choose a ship and takes sides? I think its a FOSS game.
[08:59] <ojii> rww, didn't work, was holding down shift but it still gave me kernel panic and not a boot menu
[08:59] <Kamilion> Jordan_U: Noooooooope. I doubt it'd be able to find which partition, kernel, and initrd in the mess of EFI partitions on my work boxes ;)
[08:59] <zetheroo> oobie: so you have already been here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto
[09:00] <Yosi> Here is a tuffer question:  I'm running the 64bit server copy of 10.04 and every few reboots i get a fschl that halts... any idea why?   when i google the error its seems common on 10.04 64bit
[09:00] <zetheroo> oobie: all I had to do was the Quickstart Guide section and it was working
[09:00] <Kamilion> dde: Subspace Continuum?
[09:00] <oobie> zetheroo: yea i have experience with dual monitors on win7 host but i'm not sure how the config file goes
[09:00] <dde> Kamilion, that sounds like that's the one. Let me check...
[09:01] <Jordan_U> Kamilion: It won't detect kernels if you have a separate /boot, but it will detect grub.cfg files and let you use that :)
[09:01] <Kamilion> Jordan_U: Oooh, now that's handy. Usually I have grub4dos set up to do that.
[09:01] <zetheroo> oobie: sorry I don't mess with dual screens in Linux ... I have found it's just too much hassle than it's worth ... but glad you have it working ...
[09:01] <regint> Hi, Is there a client for ubuntu for Juniper IPsec network?
[09:01] <Kamilion> yes, the ipsec client.
[09:02] <oobie> zetheroo: thanks i'll keep digging
[09:02] <dde> Kamilion, that was it. looks like its for winblows though :(
[09:02] <zetheroo> oobie: good luck ... let us know what you come up with ;)
[09:02] <Kamilion> dde: there's a linux continuum client out there
[09:03] <Gryllida> zetheroo: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+and+Configuring+Spark and I don't want to just extract and run it from home dir, I'd rather give the .tar.gz to package manager
[09:03] <Kamilion> dde: I had it working at some point when I used to play continuum.
[09:03] <dde> Kamilion, found it. thanks
[09:03] <Kamilion> What's the link?
[09:03] <ojii> I'm getting a "kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs" and read on the web that it's "GRUBs fault", but I don't really get any info on how to solve this that does not involve reinstalling the system
[09:05] <dde> test
[09:06] <Kamilion> wheeee, netsplit!
[09:06] <ojii> is a notebook supposed to boot from CD automatically if i insert one?
[09:07] <Docteh> ojii: usually
[09:07] <koshari1> ojii: only if you select it in th ebios
[09:07] <ojii> really gotta get my system booting again before the boss shows up or i'll have to use mac osx :(
[09:08] <jMCg> Ooooh....
[09:08] <Kamilion> ? Just install the debian packages from fink!
[09:09] <abadr> Xorg is using as much CPU as it can get, even though all I have open is a single terminal. Running 10.4 in a VM. Any ideas?
[09:09] <FloodBot4> !netsplit
[09:09] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[09:09] <jMCg> abadr: what VM?
[09:09] <abadr> vmware fusion
[09:09] <jMCg> abadr: what's X doing?
[09:09] <abadr> it has done this once before, rebooting fixed it for a while
[09:10] <abadr> jMCg: I'm not sure?
[09:10] <jMCg> Rebooting fixes shit on Unix.
[09:10] <ojii> yay i get the cd booting, now can someone give me a hand with how to fix a "kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs"?
[09:10] <Gryllida> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+and+Configuring+Spark and I don't want to just extract and run it from home dir, I'd rather give the .tar.gz to package manager - would it be allright?
[09:10] <mendocinox> ikonia?
[09:10] <abadr> X is running gnome if that's what you mean
[09:10] <ikonia> yes ?
[09:10] <jMCg> abadr: strace -ff -p $pidofX
[09:11] <iwobbles> is it possible to roll back ubuntu to a previous version after updates which broke the computer ?
[09:11] <koshari1> iwobbles kernel versions?
[09:11] <tsekine> Hey guys, who should I notify if security.ubuntu.com is very slow?
[09:11] <mendocinox> hello ikonia bruder
[09:11] <solow> Doesn't Ubuntu have Verdana?
[09:11] <Mrokii__> Can I add an icon to menu-entries (in the applications-menu) that have no icon?
[09:12] <Gryllida> !info Verdana
[09:12] <linux> wheres the one i pinged
[09:12] <iwobbles> I think so koshari1, it worked fine on 9.04 but 9.10 doesnt work neither does 10.04
[09:12] <tsekine> I've seen some some people reporting security.ubuntu.com slowness on twitter and here
[09:12] <solow> I mean the font. Font type verdana.
[09:12] <Pirate_Hunter> anyone care to verify this as well -  Err http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security Release.gpg  Connection failed [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80], just tried the update and it came up, maybe the system is down?
[09:12] <abadr> jMCg: seeing a lot of rt_sigprocmask and then it all froze :|
[09:12] <Kamilion> yes, security.ubuntu.com is having problems.
[09:13] <iwobbles> koshari1 I thought there was a prompt at start up something to do with grub maybey I dunno
[09:13] <Kamilion> would somebody topic that?! Heh
[09:13] <koshari1> iwobbles: if you installed upgraded the same installations you wont be able to roll back to a previous dist.
[09:13] <Pirate_Hunter> Kamilion, thanks didn't know and yes would be nice if someone added that to topic but I wonder how many actually read the topic
[09:14] <iwobbles> mm okies I just checked it only has 9.10 now available, I will re load 9.04 from disk thanks koshari1
[09:14] <koshari1> about 2 km
[09:15] <ojii> hm when booting ubuntu 10.04 from cd it seems to stay forever in the splash screen, how long does that usually take?
[09:15] <darrend> hi.. what's the correct way to update the alternatives system for something like java which has many entries in /etc/alternatives ?
[09:17] <jMCg> darrend: update-alternatives --config --all
[09:17] <llutz> darrend: sudo update-alternatives --config  <app>
[09:18] <nuboon2age> USB pen drives failing to automount in Lucid.  Any ideas what to do?
[09:18] <Bodman456> hey
[09:18] <oobie> zetheroo: found it; http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/configuration.html
[09:18] <ojii> the lucid live-cd is in the splash screen for 9 minutes now, is that normal?
[09:19] <oobie> zetheroo: it's under the 'Links' section
[09:19] <kingflower> what
[09:19] <kingflower> china
[09:19] <zetheroo> oobie: ahh ... good find ...
[09:19] <kingflower> What's this?
[09:20] <kingflower> 这是什么
[09:20] <loewi> ojil: 11 - 12 min is normal for my old Celeron M laptop 1GHz - patience. Runs smooth once its loaded
[09:20] <fanti> hello! after the last dist-upgrade a few days ago, my network interfaces do not configure automatically. 'sudo service network-interfaces start' reports an error: start: Unknown parameter: INTERFACE
[09:20] <Bodman456> Do any of you guys run Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop?
[09:20] <zetheroo> Gryllida: why not just follow the instructions?
[09:20] <Bodman456> I need help with a battery reporting error
[09:20] <ojii> loewi, it's a MBP and a quite new one too...
[09:21] <Gryllida> zetheroo: I doubt that /home/ is a very nice location for an app I install.
[09:21] <oobie> zetheroo: and now for my attempt..
[09:21] <darrend> llutz: thanks, but that only updates one of the relevant symlinks.  Is there a way to know how to do all together?
[09:21] <ojii> I think from now on i'll just completely ignore all updates
[09:21] <llutz> darrend: see jMCg
[09:21] <loewi> ojil: hmm... sorry to hear
[09:21] <darrend> jMCg: I get an error with that syntax (tried with various package names on it too)
[09:21] <zetheroo> Gryllida: why is that?
[09:21] <vlt_> Hello. I'm runninig Ubuntu 10.04 in a remote vnc session. In xterm everything works fine but as soon as I start gnome-session I can't use the small "s" anymore. _Every_ other capital or small letter is fine but "s" opens the upper right logout/shutdown dialog. Any idea how to fix this?
[09:21] <Mojodojo87> i installed the russian keyboard layout how do i switch from english to russian and vice versa?
[09:22] <bazz> is there a way to change environment variables of running processes? (not from within the process itself)
[09:22] <llutz> darrend: without --config       "sudo update-alternatives --all"
[09:23] <Gryllida> zetheroo: "Extract the .tar.gz file to your home folder. To run Spark, type ~/Spark/Spark" does it not mean that it will run from /home/ every time I launch it afterwards? thus making /home/ be the install dir?
[09:24] <Gryllida> zetheroo: which I would not like to be.
[09:24] <zetheroo> Gryllida: to my understanding there is nothing to "install" as such ... you simply "run" it
[09:24] <darrend> llutz: thanks.. was ploughing through the man page too :)
[09:25] <zetheroo> Gryllida: otherwise try to find a repo for this software or a packaged DEB
[09:25] <ojii> okay the live cd is in the splash screen with the 5 dots 'loading bar' for 15 minutes now.... what can I do?
[09:25] <vlt_> In openbox is works fine too, it's just gnome-session that occupies the "s" key.
[09:25] <ojii> don't wanna lose all my data on that machine :(
[09:25] <Mojodojo87> i installed the russian keyboard layout how do i switch from english to russian and vice versa? I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.
[09:25] <vlt_> !repeat | Mojodojo87
[09:26] <loewi> ojii: did yuo check the live cd for errors after you burned it?
[09:26] <ojii> loewi, i think that's the one i used to install the system in the first place, so it DID work
[09:26] <ojii> and the system worked for about a month
[09:27] <ojii> then when trying to boot this morning i got a kernel panic
[09:27] <ojii> aha
[09:27] <ojii> "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" is what i get now
[09:27] <ojii> looks like a shell
[09:28] <vishnu> hi,how to change the device name of a usb pendrive?? by, default it appears as"new volume"
[09:28] <theuros> someone can explain me .. i work directly on a server ... and .. if i mount FTP location .. connection isn't stable .. i have to allways refresh it to keep it alive ... but if i mount the same location via SSH .. then connection is stable and i don't have to refreshit to keep it alive .. why is that ? .... i mount it with default ubuntu file manager
[09:28] <loewi> ojii: hardware error or so? sorry, not sure how to continue from here
[09:28] <zetheroo> Gryllida: yeah, this is not an installation ... it's just meant to be run ... pretty simple
[09:28] <ebah_> I linked my xbox to my laptop and then to a router. Would putting the wireless card in promiscuous mode help the bridges speed?
[09:29] <ojii> loewi, it's a shell, any idea how i can mount my harddrive so i can edit grub settings to give me a menu?
[09:29] <Docteh> vi?
[09:29] <vishnu> KingK, hi,how to change the device name of a usb pendrive?? by, default it appears as"new volume"

[09:30] <vishnu> DaveQB: thank u
[09:30] <ZachK_> !release | User01
[09:31] <DaveQB> vishnu: No worries. I had to search that and do it the other night

[09:31] <User01> very sexy
[09:31] <vishnu> DaveQB: :)
[09:32] <Bodman456> User01: lucid is part of the the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, and the full codename is Lucid Lynx
[09:33] <User01> Bodmann456 agh okay no problem
[09:33] <loewi> ojii: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery
[09:34] <ojii> aha hitting "c" after starting live cd gives me optiosn
[09:35] <dok-> do anyone know in what package xf86Resources.h is included in, is it even supported on Ubuntu?
[09:35] <h4x07> hey
[09:36] <ojii> thanks loewi gonna try that now
[09:36] <loewi> ojii: good luck!
[09:36] <ojii> thanks, gonna need it
[09:38] <kiamo> hi, im trying to install ubuntu on an old machine, but when booting from the usb stick, the screen seems to lock at an image of a keyboard and a man in a circle.  What does it mean?
[09:38] <ojii> loewi, any chance you know how i can boot into a shell instead of gui with the lucid live cd?
[09:38] <ojii> kiamo, try hitting 'c', that did the job for me
[09:38] <kiamo> ojii, nothing :(
[09:40] <kiamo> what does it mean anyway?  Is that a loading logo?  Or maybe it doesn't recognise the keyboard or something?
[09:40] <kiamo> OH
[09:40] <kiamo> something happened
[09:40] <loewi> ojii: from the live cd boot menu you should be ale to access the recovery mode
[09:40] <kiamo> good good, it seems to be progressing
[09:40] <kiamo> lol
[09:40] <ojii> loewi, didn't see such a thing, is live cd == install cd?
[09:41] <relay> hi all!
[09:41] <vlt_> theuros: Google for "ftp must die!"
[09:42] <ojii> damn why is ubuntu so eager to boot into a gui :(
[09:42] <Gryllida> zetheroo: ok I followed the instructions, launched a /home/spark/spark, it opened its window, not that it looks that it's going to install itself, it is just going to reside in that directory; where does it store its settings then? somewhere in /home/spark/ or at some other location?
[09:42] <misterinteger> Can someone help me out with exactly that?
[09:42] <relay> Can anybody help me whit an ubuntu problem?
[09:42] <kiamo> ojii, yes.  If you boot into the live cd, you can start the install process from inside
[09:42] <misterinteger> my ubuntu is not booting into a gui at all.
[09:43] <Pirate_Hunter> I have a directory with tar files and folders is their a command that would move all the folders while ignoring the tar files compared to using mv (folder(s))?
[09:43] <zetheroo> Gryllida:yes, it should do pretty much everything inside of that one directory .. there may be some other configs it interacts with though ...
[09:43] <misterinteger> I am having trouble with gdm, can someone help me out?
[09:44] <zetheroo> Gryllida: I don't use it so don't have intel on the ins and outs of the app ...
[09:44] <llutz> Pirate_Hunter: find dir -type d -exec mv {} target/ \;
[09:44] <bigbang12> is there any gui in ubuntu server
[09:45] <dennda> I have just installed the Linux kernel 2.6.34 and my nvidia driver does not work anymore. Wasnt that supposed to be a problem of the past? How do I install it again?
[09:45] <vishnu> DaveQB: i'm an absolute beginner, i'm not able to follow the step 4,of what u gave the procedure of changing the volume name, plz help
[09:45] <Pirate_Hunter> llutz, thanks will try that
[09:46] <DaveQB> vishnu: I just edited /etc/mtools.conf
[09:46] <DaveQB> vishnu: I added drive i: file="/dev/sdf" to the bottom of it as that was the drive I needed to rename.
[09:46] <Bodman456> dennda: go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and activate the latest driver.
[09:47] <vishnu> DaveQB: should jus tye that?
[09:47] <misterinteger> my computer is not booting into gnome correctly, what should I try?
[09:47] <DaveQB> vishnu:  sorry?
[09:47] <dennda> Bodman456: And will that do it for the new kernel? There is one already activated. Do you want me to reinstall it?
[09:47] <vishnu> DaveQB:ok,will try that
[09:47] <DaveQB> misterinteger: What are you getting?
[09:47] <dennda> Bodman456: I have installed that kernel manually from a ppa
[09:48] <misterinteger> I'm getting errors having to do with music files not loading correctly
[09:48] <misterinteger> I was trying to install mpd, and screwed something up bad.
[09:48] <dok-> Any one here who have got the Chrome9 (openchrome) chip working? For me it is only vesa that works
[09:48] <chuck> anyone have any expeirence with win 2k advanced server and ubuntu? trying to map shares to my ubuntu machines from my 2k server
[09:49] <loopidity> is it possible to see the time in bash_history?
[09:49] <Pirate_Hunter> llutz, I keep getting find: missing argument to `-exec' not sure which part I got wrong from that command
[09:49] <loopidity> and date
[09:50] <Bodman456> dennda: try reinstalling through Hardware Drivers, see if that works.
[09:50] <llutz> Pirate_Hunter: whats the exect command you used?
[09:50] <misterinteger> Instead of booting to gnome, the system just boots to a shell.
[09:50] <loopidity> misterinteger sduo service gdm start
[09:51] <DaveQB> misterinteger: Ok can you login?
[09:51] <DaveQB> misterinteger:  in the text screen
[09:51] <misterinteger> "gdm start/running, process 1727"
[09:51] <misterinteger> I can log in, yes.
[09:51] <dok-> loopidity: in tcsh you can use export HISTTIMEFORMAT=’%a %T ‘
[09:51] <Pirate_Hunter> llutz,  sudo find dir -type d -exec mv {} target /var/www/..../;
[09:51] <Bodman456> misterinteger: try rebooting now
[09:51] <dennda> Bodman456: No, as expected
[09:52] <loopidity> dok- whats tcsh
[09:52] <misterinteger> okay, rebooting
[09:52] <llutz> Pirate_Hunter: end with \;   you have to escape the ;
[09:52] <DaveQB> misterinteger:  I would inspect a log file first
[09:52] <DaveQB> misterinteger: and then restart gdm
[09:52] <dok-> loopidity: a shell like bash
[09:52] <misterinteger> restart gdm?
[09:52] <DaveQB> misterinteger: sudo tail /var/log/gdm.log perhaps
[09:52] <misterinteger> all right, just a sec
[09:53] <dok-> loopidity: but try the export i think it might work in bash3
[09:53] <DaveQB> misterinteger:  or sudo grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:53] <loopidity> dok- so HISTTIMEFORMAT=’%a %T ‘ in the shell would do the trick?
[09:53] <DaveQB> misterinteger: We might see the reason gdm.X is not starting
[09:53] <DaveQB> misterinteger:  gdm/X I mean
[09:53] <llutz> Pirate_Hunter: find dir -type d -exec mv {} target/ \;            where "dir" is the directory with the tar and "target/" the dir you want to move the content to
[09:54] <DaveQB> misterinteger: cd /var/log/ ; sudo ls -tl X*
[09:54] <Pirate_Hunter> llutz, awww I thought the dir stood as part of the command sorry for that
[09:54] <misterinteger> (EE) config/hal: oculdn't initialise context: unknown error (null)
[09:54] <DaveQB> misterinteger:  The top file will be the name of the log file for Xorg and you should tail that
[09:54] <dok-> loopidity: yes
[09:54] <DaveQB> misterinteger: Oh boy
[09:54] <DaveQB> misterinteger:  that looks nasty
[09:55] <evilsherpa> hey all, i seem to have a mount point that has no point
[09:55] <evilsherpa> how do i get rid of it?
[09:55] <DaveQB> misterinteger: cd /var/log/ ; sudo ls -tl X*
[09:55] <misterinteger> yeah, I get the same error.
[09:55] <DaveQB> Just to make sure we have the right file
[09:55] <misterinteger> in the top file of that directory
[09:55] <dok-> loopidity: dont forget the export command in the beginning: export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%h/%d - %H:%M:%S "
[09:56] <loopidity> :q
[09:56] <dok-> loopidity: if it works and you want to save it edit /etc/bashrc and add the line export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%h/%d - %H:%M:%S "
[09:56] <User01> askin 1 more time b4 I go to bed, can I install linux on my desktop and use it on my laptop
[09:57] <loopidity> so if i export the hist... then i should be able to see the time in bash_history? (do i understand it right dok-)
[09:57] <dok-> loopidity: yes
[09:57] <dok-> tail -f ~/.bash_history
[09:59] <loopidity> dok using the -f hangs up
[09:59] <flodin> User01: you need to install linux on your laptop of you want to use it on your laptop
[09:59] <data> hey. i updated from karmic to lucid and now ubuntu doesn't start anymore. I tried both grub 1 and 2, as well as older kernels. In recovery mode, it stops after "/dev/sda2 clean"
[10:00] <Pirate_Hunter> llutz, it seems to work, however when sending to target I get the output -  mv: missing destination file operand after '/var/www/.../' which shouldn't happen
[10:00] <flodin> User01: unless you want to remote-connect to the desktop machine
[10:00] <data> before that, there are lots of deprecation-warnings from udev
[10:00] <data> and then an error "ioctl: unable to remove open device temporary-cryptsetup-366"
[10:01] <llutz> Pirate_Hunter: you wrote /var/www/yourdir/  with a trailing "/" ?
[10:01] <dok-> loopidity: open another terminal then you will se the tail of the bash history in real time
[10:02] <Pirate_Hunter> llutz, yes...
[10:02] <loopidity> does it take a while to load? it gets stuck . dok-
[10:02] <regint> Hi, Is there a client for ubuntu for Juniper IPsec network?
[10:03] <dok-> loopidity: ok, skip the tail command just type some commands and then just check your bash history file
[10:04] <llutz> Pirate_Hunter: "shouldn't happen" :(        so you used it like ->     -exec mv {} /var/www/yourdir/ \;
[10:05] <BrixSat> Morning all :)
[10:05] <BrixSat> i need some help on ATI RADEON X2300 install on ubuntu
[10:05] <rocket16> Good morning BrixSat, :)
[10:05] <hatex> good luck
[10:05] <misterinteger> okay, if all of y'all don't have any more ideas, I'm going to do a full reinstall.
[10:06] <rocket16> misterinteger: Friend, what is the problem? I just joined, and could not see the question.
[10:06] <Pirate_Hunter> llutz, yup I know it shouldn't happen, no worries will use mv instead and explore that command in more detail when I have free time at least I learnt something new, thanks for that
[10:06]  * rocket16 likes this channel, :)
[10:06] <misterinteger> heh, my computer isn't booting to gnome, just to a shell.
[10:07] <misterinteger> gdm is messed up.
[10:07] <rocket16> misterinteger: I see, you mean xterm shell?
[10:07] <loopidity> minterinteger reinstall gnome
[10:07] <data> hey. i updated from karmic to lucid and now ubuntu doesn't start anymore. I tried both grub 1 and 2, as well as older kernels. In recovery mode, it stops after "/dev/sda2 clean". This is preceded by an error "ioctl: unable to remove open device temporary-cryptsetup-366"
[10:07] <misterinteger> I suppose it's xterm shell.
[10:07] <data> and then lot's of udevd deprecation notices
[10:07] <rocket16> misterinteger: In that, type: sudo apt-get purge gdm and then enter: sudo apt-get install gdm
[10:07] <llutz> Pirate_Hunter:you may try this:      find dir -type d -print |xargs mv /var/www/yourdir/
[10:08] <misterinteger> hmm, I would do that if I had internet access wirelessly.
[10:09] <Rmoz1> hello room
[10:09] <rocket16> misterinteger: Ok, no problem, in that terminal, type: cd ~ and then: rm .gdm
[10:10] <BrixSat> :( i cant enable desktop efects on my ubuntu with ati radeon x2300 :s
[10:10] <Rmoz1> which is better xchat or mirc tried both mirc semms tidier but xchat got something
[10:10] <rocket16> BrixSat: After installing drivers, restart the System.  It will just reset gdm. Just use cd ~ and then: rm .gdm (no need to uninstall)
[10:11] <misterinteger> ahh
[10:12] <Rmoz1> if frrenode is a free irc server to be used for ircing why is everyone in it a linux nerd
[10:12] <Pirate_Hunter> llutz, thanks not sure what's wrong but will explore more into it at another time
[10:12] <Rmoz1> if frrenode is a free irc server to be used for ircing why is everyone in it a linux nerd?
[10:12] <llutz> !ot> Rmoz1
[10:13] <misterinteger> rocket16: telling me there's no such file or directory
[10:14] <flomoto> hello
[10:14] <rocket16> misterinteger: Did you give the . before gdm? It is needed, so it is: rm .gdm and not rm gdm
[10:14] <rocket16> Hello flomoto
[10:14] <KukMan> WHere is I can get know what keys I must write in <> in .XCompose? I want use cyrillic ъ character
[10:14] <KukMan> it is in the utf table - U+042A	Ъ	d0 aa	CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER HARD SIGN
[10:14] <misterinteger> I did
[10:15] <rocket16> misterinteger: Ok, still the same error?
[10:15] <misterinteger> yeah, in both the home folder and root folder.
[10:15] <llutz> misterinteger: does "startx" work?
[10:15] <misterinteger> I get the same unknown null error.
[10:16] <llutz> misterinteger: so its a X prblem, not gdm
[10:16] <rocket16> misterinteger: I see, then possibly a reinstallation of gdm is needed, :( Or, another way, is to uninstall ubuntu-desktop and reinstall it,
[10:16] <toader> Hi, what does "data locality" mean? thanks
[10:17] <rocket16> Bye all
[10:17] <misterinteger> wait, does that mean that I somehow removed gdm entirely?
[10:17] <misterinteger> it shows up in aptitude
[10:17] <llutz> misterinteger: apt-cache policy gdm
[10:18] <misterinteger> installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.2
[10:18] <llutz> misterinteger: so its there.
[10:19] <Taulus> Hello! Can anyone tell me why 9.04 doesn't shut down my computer?
[10:20] <misterinteger> the aptitude page for gdm suggests two things: gok and uswsusp
[10:20] <nikolam> Taulus, try installing latest, 10.04
[10:21] <Taulus> I would like to keep 9.04 but I guess that would be the best option.
[10:22] <misterinteger> xorg suggests xorg-docs
[10:22] <iceroot> Taulus: without any errors/usefull details we cant help
[10:24] <rey> hello guyz
[10:24] <rey> I want to create CD of my current ubuntu
[10:24] <Taulus> I understand iceroot I don't have access to the details at the moment. Another time
[10:24] <rey> I have installed updates and some other applications, and I want to backup it in a cd, is it possible?
[10:25] <data> anyone able to help?i updated from karmic to lucid and now ubuntu doesn't start anymore. I tried both grub 1 and 2, as well as older kernels. In recovery mode, it stops after "/dev/sda2 clean". This is preceded by an error "ioctl: unable to remove open device temporary-cryptsetup-366"
[10:25] <rey> Will you guide me please regarding making a back up of current ubuntu
[10:25] <ZachK_> rey: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/mondoarchive.8.html

[10:29] <luis_> Hi, how reconfigure mi splash???
[10:31] <luis_> Hey you, How reconfigure my fucking splash screen?
[10:31] <mad_dog> morning all
[10:35] <BrixSat> why do i always get "aticonfig: No supported adapters detected " when installing my graphic card driver? ati radeon x2300
[10:37] <mad_dog> brix what version of ubuntu
[10:37] <Comic> ???
[10:37] <Comic> 这是啥？
[10:38] <BrixSat> mad_dog: lucy ubuntu 10.4 -.-
[10:39] <Galerien> !cn | Comic
[10:39] <sburjan> what is the shortcut to lock mystation ?
[10:39] <erUSUL> BrixSat: fglrx does not support your card being too old ?
[10:39] <e-DIO-t> hi there: does anybody know why eth0.10 cointinues going UP at networking reboot [http://paste.ubuntu.com/446554/ < /etc/network/interfaces]?
[10:39] <Galerien> sburjan: ctrl + alt + l
[10:39] <Galerien> sburjan: ctrl + alt + L
[10:39] <happyaron> Comic: please join #ubuntu-cn
[10:40] <BrixSat> erUSUL:  how do i know that?
[10:40] <Galerien> erUSUL: Yes it doesn't
[10:40] <Galerien> erUSUL: if you have some technical question about your ati card, please /join #ati
[10:40] <mad_dog> brix try this.. http://bit.ly/9cmNbL
[10:41] <BrixSat> mad_dog:  :D
[10:41] <erUSUL> Galerien: you surely want to talk to BrixSat
[10:41] <e-DIO-t> No more "cached" eth0.10 on reboot ;)
[10:42] <BrixSat> mad_dog that is for old systems
[10:44] <dok-> how is it possible to start the ubuntu netbook version in failsafe mode or any mode so i can reach the terminal and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[10:45] <dok-> now it just starts with alot of flattering and ctrl+alt+fx dont get me to the terminal and ctrl+alt+backspace does not kill xorg
[10:46] <maxxer> hi.is there any specific kernel for ATOM processors? I am using 9.10, and the pc is quite slow, even if the atom is a quad core!
[10:46] <Galerien> dok-: I don't know about the ubuntu netbook version... but you can boot on your live cd (if you have any) or you usb stick, that way you will be able to edit easily your .conf...
[10:46] <ikonia> maxxer: is it visually slow, or slow at processing ?
[10:47] <maxxer> ikonia, slow expecially with javascript...
[10:47] <maxxer> i have a JS app pretty huge
[10:47] <maxxer> and on that PC is slow like hell
[10:47] <ikonia> maxxer: ok so keep in mind there are two things here, visually slow, and slow processing, visually slow is the most common issue and tht's normally caused by graphics cards being configured incorrectly
[10:48] <pogay1> I try to get running a tiny digitus IPP print server. The manual says http:/ip-nr:631/lpr1  as device URI (examle for Windows). the Samslung CLP300 works locally via USB, but when calling over the print server, the printer blinks only, and doesn't print. Any idea?
[10:48] <maxxer> ikonia, thanks, but I believe it's not a "visually" slow problem
[10:48] <ikonia> maxxer: have you verified this ?
[10:48] <ikonia> maxxer: just being cautious before you rush down the wrong path
[10:49] <Galerien> maxxer: did you try google chrome, I heard that it's very fast for js rendering....?
[10:49] <BiggFREE> Hi
[10:49] <maxxer> ikonia, how can i test, just to be sure? I have my believe, but could be wrong as you say
[10:49] <maxxer> Galerien, chrome is much faster! but i cannot use it because printing totally sucks
[10:49] <dok-> Galerien: Thanks, I tryed that byt then the usb stick did now want to boot so im recreating the usb-install and try again
[10:50] <elzalem> sorry for the large text: anyone has this problem when running an X application as root; 1st it takes more time to load, 2nd it shows another "tab" in the bottom panel for 10 seconds saying "Starting Administrative rights" or "launching app..." and in the meanwhile u dont have the normal cursor, u have the busy mouse cursor ??
[10:50] <ikonia> maxxer: a fair question, look at running a few "busy" commands in the termal, as the terminal doesn't require any display processing, also run "top" in another window and see how your cpu/memory resources differ and for what periods of time
[10:50] <Galerien> dok-: You should be able to chose "use ubuntu without making change to the computer", or something like that...?
[10:51] <iamtoinez> hello is it possible that anyone helps with kvm
[10:51] <Galerien> maxxer: If you say so :D, I don't know about chrome "printing"
[10:51] <iamtoinez> kvm is running and guests are installed
[10:51] <maxxer> Galerien, yes, i.e. you cannot print a single page, just the whole document. on linux, at least. and this is not applicable in my situation, sadly. otherwise could solve most of my speed problems
[10:52] <Lantizia> Did the Yahoo! deal fall through? does anyone have information on that?
[10:52] <Galerien> maxxer: and print screen? (please don't hit me)
[10:52] <maxxer> Galerien, not funny.... grrr :)
[10:52] <iamtoinez> i'm having trouble to connect to internet from 2 guests
[10:53] <iamtoinez> i have 3 public ips and 5 servers
[10:53] <iamtoinez> kvm ( guest )
[10:53] <maxxer> ikonia, what's the purpose of that check?
[10:53] <data> anyone able to help?i updated from karmic to lucid and now ubuntu doesn't start anymore. I tried both grub 1 and 2, as well as older kernels. In recovery mode, it stops after "/dev/sda2 clean". This is preceded by an error "ioctl: unable to remove open device temporary-cryptsetup-366"
[10:54] <ikonia> maxxer: it will show if your machine is responding ok under the hood, of if your machine is suffering visually
[10:56] <Galerien> maxxer: have you tried to find some plugin? that's a long shot but it might help you as a temporary solution...
[10:56] <maxxer> ikonia, to check if it works under the hood... I should perform some specific test, isn't it?something that would say "to make X, it takes Y, and it's good/bad", isn't it?
[10:56] <ikonia> maxxer: that's not a bad idea, there are plenty of "hello world" type programs on the internet, build one of them
[10:58] <Coudy> Hi, how to manually sync Ubuntu One ?
[10:59] <maxxer> Galerien, haven't found any :(
[11:00] <maxxer> what about LPIA arch?
[11:00] <CSiD> I have done a 64-bit minimal install and it all works perfect and fast but has only 2 issues I need help with
[11:02] <kriss3d> Goodmorning everyone. uhmm all the suddenly i get message whenever i log on to ubuntu 10.04 could not update .ICEauthority how do i fix that ? ive read up on it but changing to manual login doesnt work
[11:02] <CSiD> anyone here know about getting ipod touch firmware 3.1.3 t oappear in rhythmbox
[11:03] <MrChris> Install WINE then run iTunes
[11:03] <CSiD> think I want to crash and use proprietary stuff on my system when I know its possible with rhythmbox faster and lighter
[11:03] <erUSUL> kriss3d: if it is a permissions problem (becouse you used sudo with a graphical program) just boot into recovery mode and run « chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser/.ICEauthority » then reboot
[11:04] <MrChris> using other software to load firmware onto your ipod can void its warranty.
[11:04] <BlackDalek> why does evolution mail client always hang when downloading new messages? The "send & receive Mail" box sits there for ages after mail has finished downloading.
[11:04] <erUSUL> !ipod
[11:04] <pog> I'm wondring how I can find out the correct device URI for a hw printserver, where a samsung CLP300 is connected - und Ubuntu (CUPS it would be http://printhost:631/printers/printername - and the printer works like this as Network-Printer on an other pc)
[11:04] <kriss3d> erUSUL,  thanks. ok.. uhmm i have another problem. For some reason when i use guarddog (frontend for iptables) and even with all ports open on
[11:05] <ojii> hi everyone
[11:05] <ojii> is there a way to downgrade my kernel version?
[11:05] <kriss3d> erUSUL,  oh. just meant to say thanks.. ill just see if that works
[11:05] <CSiD> ubottu, the actual issue is that the ipod touch is visible o nthe desktop as an ipod, but rhythmbox doesnt see it
[11:05] <ojii> the latest (22) panics on boot
[11:05] <erUSUL> kriss3d: no problem :)
[11:05] <pog> as the printer only blinks when I print via hardware printserver, I'm wondring where the problem could be.
[11:05] <erUSUL> CSiD: ubottu is an infobot
[11:06] <CSiD> oh right sorry
[11:06] <CSiD> but anyone know how I can view the ipod fro mrhythmbox?
[11:07] <erUSUL> CSiD: enabling the ipod plugin ? ( never owned an ipod ... )
[11:07] <bazhang> CSiD, this is 10.04?
[11:07] <CSiD> yes, minimal install
[11:07] <pog> are there incompatible (to Ubuntu Cups)  IPP printers arround?
[11:07] <bazhang> CSiD, aha
[11:07] <thune3> data: you have some encrypted portion in your setup?
[11:07] <bazhang> CSiD, full install works with mine
[11:07] <CSiD> I have rhythmbox AND libgpod
[11:07] <Lantizia> Did the Yahoo! deal fall through? does anyone have information on that?
[11:07] <ortsvorsteher> !ot | Lantizia
[11:08] <bazhang> Lantizia, discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[11:08] <ojii> when using kernel 2.6.32-21 i can boot but it has trouble loading nvidia drivers. if i try to boot kernel 2.6.32-22 i get kernel panic on boot
[11:08] <data> thune3: yes
[11:08] <ojii> what should I do?
[11:08] <thune3> data: home dir, partitions everyting? what?
[11:08] <MrChris> CSiD: using other software to load firmware onto your ipod can void its warranty.
[11:08] <MrChris> Install WINE then run iTunes
[11:08] <Lantizia> bazhang, ortsvorsteher, how is it off topic?  I install ubuntu expecting one thing and I get another (google)... so I'm asking
[11:08] <data> thune3: root partition. so everything except /boot
[11:08] <Lantizia> it's certainly ubuntu relevant
[11:08] <BlackDalek> Why does the send & receive box remain on screen for over 3 minutes after email has completed downloading in evolution mail? Is it just me or does it do that for everyone?
[11:09] <thune3> data: so that's what's happening, the kernel can't see your /
[11:09] <data> i am already downloading the current live cd, so I can debug it
[11:09] <data> thune3: can you think of a reason? It asks me for the passphrase
[11:10] <arunkumar413> how configure wireless modem for a higher baud rate
[11:11] <marcus> Hi there !
[11:11] <alisneaky> good evening pple
[11:11] <erUSUL> ojii: you can have both kernel installed... you should report the panic so it can be fixed ...
[11:11] <erUSUL> !bugs | ojii
[11:11] <rabidweezle> good morning
[11:11] <rocket16> Good afternoon, alisneaky, :) (Here it is afternoon, :D )
[11:11] <arunkumar413> currently my modem is working at baud rate of 9600 but i want to run it at a higher rate?plz tell me how configure it
[11:11] <marcus> Could somebody point me in the right direction for writing a script to control my 3G mobile modem ? I want to write a script that controls the connection.
[11:11] <alisneaky> is there anyway to sync memos and tasks out of evolution into your UBUNTU ONE account?
[11:12] <alisneaky> its 8.12pm tuesday night here
[11:12] <wise_crypt> marcus: have you install wvdial
[11:12] <thune3> data: i don't know, i'm looking at it. something in the process of setting up and mounting your / is borked
[11:12] <marcus> wise_crypt, no I haven't, should I ?
[11:13] <data> thune3: i'll burn the cd now, so that i can at least fix parts of it
[11:13] <wise_crypt> marcus: no if you mobile modem supported by network manager
[11:13] <wise_crypt> *your
[11:14] <marcus> wise_crypt, It's supported, I can see it in the applet, I just want to control it using a bash script.
[11:14] <kriss3d> erUSUL,  Ehmm when i try booting in recovery mode i get garbled graphics. It looks like it could be text but its like 2 inch high and colored and i cant see anything what so ever..
[11:14] <arunkumar413> wise_crypt: hi,can u tell me how to configure modem for a higher baud rate i'm using wvdial program
[11:15] <wise_crypt> marcus: just use the "nm"
[11:15] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: do you use wvdial ?
[11:15] <BlackDalek> Anyone? Is anyone else experiencing the unexplainably slow "Send & Receive" window in the Evolution 2.28.3 mail client?
[11:16] <arunkumar413> wise_crypt: ya
[11:16] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: gksudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
[11:17] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: have you generate the wvdial.conf ?
[11:17] <marcus> wise_crypt, as in "nm-tool" ?
[11:17] <arunkumar413> wise_crypt: ya
[11:17] <maxxer> ikonia, in case it's a visually slowness issue, what should I check? the gfx is an nvidia ion vga, with nvidia drivers installed
[11:17] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: than gksudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
[11:17] <pog> BlackDalek: when I recieve a mails for a few mail boxes I wait for hours (..no but minutes). I didn't find out why, and why evolution does the jobs parallely. It seems to be blocked until alle the boxes are o.k.
[11:18] <ikonia> maxxer: how did you install the nvidia drivers ?
[11:18] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: than gksudo gedit /path/to/your/generated/wvdial.conf
[11:18] <arunkumar413> wise_crypt: opened the file wvdial.conf
[11:18] <BlackDalek> There is a 3 or 4 minute delay after the mail is downloaded. The actual mail downloading/sending takes only a few seconds.... But the window remains on screen and I have to click cancel all to get of it or wait 3-4 minutes for it to clear itself off the screen
[11:18] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: find 9600 and change it to your desire save it
[11:19] <Mrokii__> I have tried to sign up to Ubuntu One and Firefox tried to open a "http://localhost"-link, which doesn't seem to work. Could the reason be a changed "host"-file?
[11:20] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: if you haven kill the running prosess of wvdial run sudo killall wvdial
[11:20] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: then run wvdial << sudo wvdial & >>>
[11:20] <maxxer> ikonia, via hardware drivers tool
[11:20] <arunkumar413> ok
[11:21] <ikonia> maxxer: Hmmm, I'd run some graphic benchmark tools (details on the wiki)
[11:21] <ikonia> maxxer: see how they perform
[11:21] <BlackDalek> I know the mail is downloaded in just a few seconds because the "Send & Receive" window says "completed" and the progress bars are at 100% full and I can see and read the downloaded email on screen behind the "Send & Receive" window. Is this a normal feature of Evolution mail? Does it do this for everyone or is my installation wonky?
[11:21] <maxxer> ikonia, in the end, there's no particular optimization for atom, that you know?
[11:22] <azlon> i just installed 10.04 yesterday and everything is working great except my networking. i cant see any other machines in nautilus...
[11:22] <chilicuil> hi, does anyone know if it's safe to resize ext4 partitions in ubuntu 10.04?, I've seen that there was a bug about it in the 9.04 version
[11:22] <Kage> !intel
[11:22] <maxxer> ikonia, the fact that on chrome is faster than firefox, makes me still think about the cpu
[11:22] <wise_crypt> marcus: network manager abv nm
[11:22] <arunkumar413> wise_crypt: how to know if the modem operating at a particular baud rate
[11:24] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: its shown on your teminal
[11:24] <X-Sleepy-X> I have this laptop with wireless connection and I've installed LAMP on it. Now I would like for web server to be able to get online through the wireless without me having to login. Is this possible if I select "Available for all users" in the settings for the wireless network in the network manager?
[11:24] <X-Sleepy-X> Or is there another way?
[11:24] <wise_crypt> *terminal
[11:24] <arunkumar413> wise_crypt: no its not showing
[11:25] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: sudo killall wvdial && sudo wvdial
[11:26] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: without &
[11:26] <arunkumar413> wise_crypt: if i kill i'll not be able to discuss
[11:27] <wise_crypt> arunkumar413: lol you have to try it if you want it change the baud rate
[11:27] <Kage> what should I set my xorg.conf to get the best performance on a Intel 945GM
[11:27] <Kage> ?
[11:27] <arunkumar413> k
[11:27] <Kage> should I use UXA?
[11:28] <sxpp> ..
[11:28] <marcus> wise_crypt, yes, but I want to write a bash script, not use the applet.
[11:30] <ro8inmorgan> bash 'o script
[11:30] <Kage> you know what I hate most about the ubuntu forums, website and wiki... is the fact that it seems 95% of any information on a problem I have dates back to like 5 releases ago... and I have no idea if the information is still applicable
[11:30] <ro8inmorgan> anyone here got a client working on exchange 2010?
[11:31] <ro8inmorgan> not with imap offcourse
[11:32] <marcus> Ok, so let me ask everybody again. Is it possible to write a script to control my 3G modem ?
[11:32] <thune3> data: there is a bunch of info in : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1034910 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7576717 : the gist is get /etc/crypttab correct and run "update-initramfs -k all -c -v"
[11:32] <ro8inmorgan> marcus if your modem has some command line software yes
[11:32] <mechdave> marcus, should be... what kind of modem is it?
[11:32] <ro8inmorgan> otherwise you will have to write that yourself
[11:32] <thune3> data: but that might not be your issue
[11:33] <data> thune3: thanks, i will try that
[11:33] <marcus> It's a 3G modem (Huwei e1730) that is showing up in networkmanager applet.
[11:34] <ro8inmorgan> marcus you can only write control scripts for stuff that can be controlled from the command line
[11:34] <wise_crypt> marcus: why do you want to do that ?
[11:34] <ro8inmorgan> if your modem can be controlled from command line then yes you can script it
[11:34] <marcus> wise_crypt, I'm writing an auto-connect script, that needs to do some stuff inbetween.
[11:35] <wise_crypt> marcus: what is the usage of the script ?
[11:35] <ro8inmorgan> wise_crypt why is that relevant?
[11:35] <wise_crypt> marcus: what stuff
[11:36] <ro8inmorgan> marcus do you know how to make shell scripts even??
[11:36] <wise_crypt> !info cron | ro8inmorgan
[11:36] <thune3> data: and just in case the crypt-decode worked already, look over your fstab for good measure. good luck, gotta run.
[11:37] <marcus> wise_crypt, The entire scenario is this: On session start, I want the 3g modem to connect, and then run chrome to a specified url. The script should connect the 3g modem again, if there is a break in coverage, when possible.
[11:37] <Alexander1> do you know QQ
[11:37] <marcus> ro8inmorgan, yes I do.
[11:37] <ro8inmorgan> Marcus then why do you want chrome to a specified url??
[11:37] <ro8inmorgan> what are you trying to do?
[11:38] <Alexander1> who used qq for linux
[11:38] <wise_crypt> is ro8inmorgan and marcus the same person
[11:38] <marcus> ro8inmorgan, Does it matter ? I want the computer to connect and open chrome to let's say "google" and then ensure that the 3g reconnects on failure.
[11:38] <ro8inmorgan> lol
[11:39] <ro8inmorgan> Marcus well it seems to be a little unlogical to open a graphical browser from a script
[11:39] <alabd> Good day all  , ikonia http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu here is written >>> Developers can work on their desktop of choice, and smoothly deliver code to cloud servers running the stripped-down Ubuntu Server Edition.
[11:39] <ro8inmorgan> wise_crupt why would we be the same person?
[11:39] <marcus> ro8inmorgan, Ok, but that doesn't matter does it. My question is if it's possible to control the 3g modem from the command line.
[11:40] <alabd> so to have cloud computing with ubuntu it should be server edition ikonia
[11:40] <wise_crypt> !info Kcron marcus ro8inmorgan
[11:40] <wise_crypt> !info Kcron | marcus ro8inmorgan
[11:40] <mechdave> wise_crypt, they have different ip addresses
[11:40] <Shai234> Hello , it seems my free space gone (i dont know how) and now i cant log in to Ubuntu , how can i get access in order to free up some space ? any idea ?
[11:40] <eirikb> Is it possible to use ubuntu one for storing configuration, so I don't have to setup each computer? (mostly for shortcuts, compiz settings, ssh keys, firefox/chrome stored passwords etc)
[11:41] <ro8inmorgan> marcus well if your modem came with linux drivers it should tell you also what command lines...
[11:41] <eirikb> Shai234: Livecd?
[11:41] <marcus> ro8inmorgan, forget it, thanks for your time.
[11:41] <mechdave> Shai234, you can boot into rescue mode from grub2
[11:41] <Shai234> eirikb: i dont have right now livecd
[11:41] <Galerien> re
[11:41] <wise_crypt> !info gnome-schedule | marcus
[11:41] <Shai234> mechdave: how can i get into rescue mode ?
[11:42] <ro8inmorgan> ok :)
[11:42] <ro8inmorgan> !info gnome-schedule | marcus
[11:42] <marcus> wise_crypt, thanks.
[11:42] <ro8inmorgan> wise_crypt why you wrote this?
[11:42] <mechdave> Shai234, reboot and select rescue mode from the boot menu
[11:42] <ash__> hi
[11:42] <Alexander1> hello
[11:42] <mechdave> Shai234, then use df -h to find which partition has no free space left
[11:42] <ash__> I have a problem with audio, using 10.04 32-bit.. the audio for everything is very muffled
[11:43] <mechdave> Shai234, eg df -h /home
[11:43] <wise_crypt> ro8inmorgan: you can analyze in what duration your 3g modem disconect and reconect it again using cron at that specisic time
[11:44] <ro8inmorgan> i dont have a 3g modem
[11:44] <ash__> where do i begin to find out why? I've never had this problem before
[11:44] <wise_crypt> ro8inmorgan: and run another cron job after that for chrome
[11:44] <wise_crypt> ro8inmorgan: that simple
[11:44] <Shai234> mechdave: great now i have shell access :) the problem before few days i had alot more than 6gb free space , and showhow now there is no space left , how can i find out which files stolen my space ?
[11:45] <wise_crypt> ro8inmorgan: you ought to let me know from the first place lol my bad
[11:45] <ro8inmorgan> wise_crypt: its ok in case I get one i got your tip lol
[11:45] <wise_crypt> ro8inmorgan: lol
[11:47] <azlon> i cant see other computers in Networks from my 10.04 machine. everything is working on my 9.10 machine... how can i view other machines?
[11:47] <ZachK_> azlon: one sec
[11:47] <ZachK_> azlon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[11:47] <ZachK_> that might work
[11:48] <azlon> ZachK_, thanks, i already installed Samba but ill read the page really quick...
[11:48] <mechdave> Shai234, my guess is it will be in your home directory, use du -h /home > file_size_list.txt to find the file size of each file and redirect it to file
[11:50] <mechdave> Shai234, then use grep to search the filenames larger than say 500M
[11:50] <nitesh> hi
[11:50] <rey> nitesh: hello

[11:54] <Kartagis> !maverick
[11:54] <bastidrazor> !hostname | azlon
[11:54] <azlon> ZachK_, dont worry about it... i will just access the old one by IP for now. im just going to transfer files then get rid of it
[11:54] <alabd> ikonia http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu here is written >>> Developers can work on their desktop of choice, and smoothly deliver code to cloud servers running the stripped-down Ubuntu Server Edition.so to have cloud computing with ubuntu it should be server edition yes ?
[11:55] <ZachK_> azlon: ok...sorry i couldn't help ya!
[11:55] <siddhion> nice of you to ask rumpsy : ) i just installed Xubuntu 10.04 and everything is working out pretty fine except that Firefox and Chrome load web pages extermely slowly to the point of it being unusable.
[11:56] <mechdave> azlon, you want to change your Ubuntu machine hostname?
[11:56] <bluesman> I reply my Question: Evolution. Ubuntu 10.04. After some minutes Evolution shutting down with argument "broken pipe" oder "shutting down" .... whats happend? I never got in 9.x up this failure
[11:57] <mechdave> azlon, have a look at man hostname
[11:57] <azlon> mechdave, nah... i will just access by IP for now. i just need to access the machine for a day then im going to format it
[11:57] <azlon> mechdave, thanks!
[11:57] <siddhion> i executed everything in this tutorial http://wojox.homelinux.org/?p=46 but still i can not even load twitter
[11:57] <mechdave> azlon, yeah, if you can remember the ip :) No worries
[11:57] <ikonia> alabd: it doesn't matter
[11:57] <ikonia> alabd: as I told you yesterday
[11:58] <badcloud> removing top gnome panel while keeping some functionality (e.g. alltray support)?
[11:59] <azlon> mechdave, i think i was talking to you a couple months about about RAID5 stuff, right? did you get your issue resolved?
[11:59] <siddhion> google loads fast and fine...searches are fast...but loading the sites like blogs, or any web app takes forever. i do not think that tutorial helped at all.
[12:00] <bluesman> I reply my Question: Evolution. Ubuntu 10.04. After some minutes Evolution shutting down with argument "broken pipe" oder "shutting down" .... whats happend? I never get bevore this failure
[12:01] <Gryllida> I disabled ClearType in the OS but it still remains in Firefox. How do I turn it off?
[12:01] <User01> hey got a question
[12:01] <siddhion> it is strange. some sites load fine. others will not load at all. does anyone know how to solve this problem?
[12:01] <Lazesharp> hi guys, I've just upgraded a 9.10 machine to 10.04 and I need to add a PPA, but the add-apt-repository command appears to be missing?
[12:01] <Lazesharp> as does locate/updatedb :\
[12:02] <jrib> Lazesharp: that is not normal
[12:02] <mechdave> azlon, Nah, I have never worried about RAID, don't have enough realestate for that :)
[12:02] <jrib> Lazesharp: what does « echo $PATH » return?
[12:02] <Lazesharp> when I say "missing" I mean it's not on the PATH at least
[12:02] <Lazesharp> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[12:02] <Gryllida> Lazesharp: "man add-apt-repository" works for me, I'm 10.04
[12:02] <Lazesharp> doesn't look to be anything out of the ordinary there
[12:02] <User01> okay I want to install linux on a desktop and run it on my laptop
[12:02] <mechdave> azlon, I have been about for quite a while here and there from time to time :)
[12:02] <azlon> mechdave, newegg has 2TB drives for only $99... i couldn't pass it up. stupid marketing...
[12:03] <User01> is this possible without doi special configuration
[12:03] <rumpsy> siddhion: Are you sure about your firefox version?
[12:03] <Gryllida> User01: that are 2 installations.
[12:03] <bluesman> OK, U can not help. Anywhere I can find some help about evolution and this "closing after some minutes"?
[12:03] <rumpsy> siddhion: what version of ff you are using
[12:03] <amokpaule> hello, can i move the buttons for closing minimizing or maximizing a window from the left to the right?
[12:03] <rumpsy> Gryllida: hi hi, this is kingring
[12:03] <Gryllida> rumpsy: hi!
[12:03] <jrib> Lazesharp: well, what does « apt-cache policy mlocate » return?
[12:03] <User01> no just one install I can install on my laptop due to heating issues
[12:03] <siddhion> rumpsy: 3.6.3
[12:03] <User01> cant*
[12:03] <rumpsy> Gryllida: guide siddhion
[12:03] <X-Sleepy-X> I have this laptop with wireless connection and I've installed LAMP on it. Now I would like for web server to be able to get online through the wireless without me having to login. Is this possible if I select "Available for all users" in the settings for the wireless network in the network manager?
[12:04] <siddhion> rumpsy: i am getting these slow page load problems with Chrome as well
[12:04] <rumpsy> siddhion: Gryllida and me are good in firefox troubleshoot, since i'm bit busy you can ask him
[12:04] <Gryllida> siddhion: /join #firefox
[12:04] <Gryllida> siddhion: way too busy here
[12:04] <siddhion> ok thanks. rumpsy
[12:04] <rumpsy> Gryllida: this is freenode
[12:04] <Gryllida> rumpsy: yes it is.
[12:04] <Lazesharp> jrib: mlocate wasn't installed :\ odd
[12:05] <jrib> Lazesharp: how did you upgrade exactly?
[12:05] <bluesman> amokpaule: U can, moment please
[12:05] <siddhion> gryllida: my issue is not just with Firefox, as I said it is also with Chrome.
[12:05] <rumpsy> Gryllida: nope, you make him clear here itself, this way helps everyone
[12:05] <Lazesharp> jrib: it's Ubuntu server, so using do-release-upgrade as per standard release instructions
[12:05] <amokpaule> bluesman, ty and sure :)
[12:05] <siddhion> gryllida: that is why i came here.
[12:06] <Gryllida> siddhion: which are the websites that don't load?
[12:06] <User01> so I want to install linux on a desktop and run it on my lappy anyone know if it will auto detect my laptop hardware
[12:06] <jrib> Lazesharp: did the upgrade complete successfully?  Did it ever tell you these packages would be removed?  Did you have mlocate before the upgrade?
[12:06] <entr0py> Is someone here familiar with upstart?
[12:06] <jrib> entr0py: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[12:07] <Lazesharp> jrib: not sure we had it before the upgrade, so it could be entirely normal
[12:07] <jrib> Lazesharp: do you have ubuntu-standard installed?
[12:07] <Lazesharp> but we did have some problems with the upgrade, after the reboot it took a while for the server to respond
[12:07] <Lazesharp> we may not
[12:07] <jrib> Lazesharp: check :)
[12:07] <ct529> are there nice tools for recording a database of meetings ?
[12:07] <Lazesharp> O_O
[12:07] <Lazesharp> State: not installed
[12:08] <alabd> ikonia: so what is this ? o cloud servers running the stripped-down Ubuntu Server Edition.
[12:08] <siddhion> gryllida: Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, Engadget....all the popular ones will not load....more unpopular ones will load and when they do load up I will see the spinner still spinning...something is wrong here
[12:08] <jrib> Lazesharp: why remove that?
[12:08] <Lazesharp> jrib: that never got removed
[12:08] <Lazesharp> I saw which packages it removed, and they were nothing consequential :\
[12:08] <ikonia> alabd: it means a cloud server running on the ubuntu server platform
[12:08] <bluesman> amokpaule: open gconf-editor with tree "apps" in Metacity and change value under general to ":minimize,maximaze,close" ... the ":" isz U want ;)
[12:09] <rabidweezle> don't do it, it is a trap
[12:09] <alabd> ikonia:  so cloud server can be only on ubuntu server ?
[12:09] <jrib> Lazesharp: presumably, this package is included by default on servers
[12:09] <rabidweezle> wrong window *facepalm*
[12:09] <jrib> Lazesharp: I'm not sure about that though
[12:09] <ikonia> alabd: NO
[12:10] <ikonia> alabd: the ubuntu cloud servers are run on server edition, that doesn't mean it only works on server edition
[12:10] <tyrus> afternoon folks
[12:10] <User01> soo can someone confirm if that is possible
[12:10] <Lazesharp> jrib: ubuntu-minimal isn't installed either, will I need that?
[12:10] <tyrus> now i have a very annoying issue on 10.04
[12:10] <tyrus> apparently i cant close the gnome file browser
[12:10] <rumpsy> tyrus: what is your issue
[12:10] <Gryllida> siddhion: no idea why rumpsy thinks that I can help with issues that are not firefox isssues but look more like networking ones.. I'd reboot modem, and reboot router, then try from another machine at same internet access point.
[12:11] <tyrus> everytime I do i get this pop up that says "Cannot fine /media/A126asd"
[12:11] <wildbat_laptop> User01, it should works
[12:11] <tyrus> yet under /etc/fstab no such device exists
[12:11] <tyrus> :(
[12:11] <bluesman> rabidweezle: U mean me?
[12:11] <rumpsy> Gryllida: Sorry i he mentioned me that ff bought the problem
[12:11] <jrib> Lazesharp: apparently ubuntu-standard isn't installed by default, so maybe locate isn't either.  And I'm willing to bet add-apt-repository definitely isn't.  So everything seems normal.  If you want to check about the status of those packages on a fresh server install, you could verify this.  If those are the only things missing, I would just install them now if you want them.  If you want what
[12:12] <jrib> ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard say they do, then sure, install them
[12:12] <Gryllida> rumpsy: this is both Fx and GChrome issue.
[12:12] <siddhion> gryllida: rumpsy only saw Firefox in my initial problem. I have another computer here that is connected to the same router and it runs perfect.
[12:12] <tyrus> so rumpsy, any idea why this is happening?
[12:12] <shay27> Hello , its seems my drive has no space left , my partition is 60gb when i checked my /home/user folder it turn out to be : 12gb , where did all my free space go ? i found in some website that someone said that should check the log folder by typing : sudo du -h /var , i did that and i got 44gb (this taking my space) what i should do ? which files i am allowed to erase ?
[12:12] <Gryllida> siddhion: aww, maybe router/modem cache, reboot them, but I'm VERY BAD at networking
[12:12] <rumpsy> tyrus: maybe bad video driver
[12:12] <Lazesharp> jrib: ok, cool - don't suppose you know which package provides add-apt-repository?
[12:12] <tyrus> really?
[12:12] <rabidweezle> bluesman, no
[12:12] <User01> wildbat_laptop: okay so linux really can auto detect hardware on boot
[12:12] <rumpsy> tyrus: disable compiz effects and give a try
[12:12] <tyrus> well thats interesting because here is another issue
[12:12] <jrib> Lazesharp: python-software-properties:
[12:13] <wildbat_laptop> User01, yes
[12:13] <siddhion> gryllida: ok i understand. thanks.
[12:13] <tyrus> whenever i restart the machine
	wildbat_laptop: okay so linux really can auto detect hardware on boot <-- I think true
[12:13] <Lazesharp> jrib: intuitive ;)
[12:13] <User01> even if it's different than what the os was installed on (unlike windows)
[12:13] <Gryllida> siddhion: ok
[12:13] <tyrus> i get windows without borders and its just annoying
[12:13] <vega> shay27: put output of this into pastebin.com: cd /var ; du -s --si *
[12:13] <rumpsy> Gryllida: siddhion understood now, he got your point
[12:14] <User01> gryllida: how long have you been using
[12:14] <tyrus> isnt there a way to fix this without disabling compiz?
[12:14] <rumpsy> tyrus: if you are using compiz, try this command in terminal, "compiz --replace metacity"
[12:14] <alabd> ikonia: or he ubuntu cloud servers are run only on server edition
[12:14] <ojii> hi everyone, i'm using lucid x64 and since the last kernel upgrade (2.6.32-22) i get a kernel panic when trying to boot. if i boot using the last kernel (2.6.32-21) it works but the nvidia drivers fail, what can I do?
[12:14] <Gryllida> User01: using what?
[12:14] <bluesman> rabidweezle: I was wondering about trap... coming soon after my help to amokpaule ;) I know that it is OK ;)
[12:14] <tyrus> if i do that, i get the borderless windows
[12:14] <ikonia> alabd: they can run on any ubuntu product
[12:14] <Lantizia> Hey I've got 10.04... there used to be a button on nautilus for swapping between address bar and button bar... where did it go!
[12:14] <User01> gryllida: linux
[12:14] <User01> :)
[12:14] <wildbat_laptop> tyrus, ppl install on USB drives and bring the "machine" with then with ubuntu
[12:14] <Gryllida> User01: less than 2 days
[12:14] <amokpaule> bluesman, ty :)
[12:14] <tyrus> and i have to run compiz --replace to get them back rumpsy
[12:15] <User01> oh hehehe
[12:15] <Gryllida> User01: after 10 years on windows 2000
[12:15] <alabd> ikonia: thanks God give you peace
[12:15] <wildbat_laptop> User01,  ppl install on USB drives and bring the "machine" with then with ubuntu
[12:15] <User01> gryllida wow , :)
[12:15] <wildbat_laptop> tyrus, sorry wrong ppl
[12:15] <Gryllida> :P
[12:15] <rumpsy> tyrus: which means that your graphics drivers not binding with compiz
[12:16] <tyrus> rumpsy: looks like it....there was a bug filed on launchpad
[12:16] <rumpsy> !compiz
[12:16] <User01> wildbat_laptop: so basicly the os is plug and play
[12:16] <bluesman> amokpaule: czech, np ;)
[12:16] <tyrus> but seeing there are no proprietary drivers this time am really wondering why this came with 10.04
  basicly the os is plug and play TRUE :P
[12:16] <rumpsy> tyrus: join compiz channel for further more help
[12:16] <tyrus> ok rumpsy thanks alot
[12:16] <User01> gryllida: what do you think of ubuntu`
[12:16] <rabidweezle> User01, it's the same as booting a live cd with the option to actually save work
[12:16] <wildbat_laptop> User01, ya ~ thou so machine need some tweak be4 it work but majority of machine just work
[12:17] <rumpsy> tyrus: welcome
[12:17] <Gryllida> User01: more than perfect, very customizable. 300MB or RAM instead of 1200MB. smooth.. easy to understand:)
[12:17] <tyrus> rumpsy whats the channel again?
[12:17] <User01> wildbat_laptop : okay thanks that will do
[12:18] <rumpsy> #compiz
[12:18] <rumpsy> tyrus: ^^
[12:18] <tyrus> thanks :)
[12:18] <rumpsy> :)
[12:18] <User01> gryllida: :P yeah it runs faster than any os I've had
[12:18] <Gryllida> :P
[12:19] <shay27> vega:http://pastebin.com/HTZZiAq6
[12:19] <bluesman> rabidweezle: did U hear something about evolution ... is ending after some minutes whithot a correct message .... broken pipe, ending session but nothing more ... ubuntu 10.04 full installation with seperate /home
[12:19] <User01> and also for dire situations like mine, my laptop would have to go to the junkyard if not for it
[12:19] <ntr0py> how can i delay the start of gdm?
[12:19] <rabidweezle> bluesman, I use gmail
[12:21] <ntr0py> I need gdm to start AFTER the nvidia driver is ready... How can i manipulate upstart to do that?? Anyone has an idea?
[12:21] <ikonia> ntr0py: the nvidia drivers are loaded before xorg
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> ntr0py:  the gdm.conf has some delay option. I used that to fix an issue with nvida drivers taking too load to startup and confusing gdm
[12:22] <ikonia> ntr0py: so you're already fine with that
[12:22] <CSiD> anyone know how ipod touch 3rd gens can be made visible in rhythmbox from a minimal install
[12:22] <CSiD> ?
[12:22] <bluesman> rabidweezle: I use to help Windowsuser to change (I love it) but Evolution sucks now and its more easy for them... I prefer also Thunderbird with Lightning. But for thar people I need Evo. If U find anything U can contact me in IRCnet an my nick is blues (since over 10 years)
[12:22] <Gryllida> bluesman: Evolution is included into Ubuntu 10.04 by default.
[12:22] <amokpaule> i want to just have one background colour so no picture or so, i cant really find any option to disable the wallpapers itself.
[12:23] <CSiD> why not create an image thats jsut the colour and use it? can be doen fro mgimp usign fill tool
[12:23] <trez__> hello, there are some files which use 2.6 gb on my home that I can't delete (even if I am using a live cd). These files are in the folder .Trash-0/files/lost+found/. Their permission and their user are weird, it is numbers like "-314399448". How to delete them?
[12:23] <ntr0py> ikonia: but they are not loaded before gdm trieds to display the login prompt causing the nvidia drivers to not load...
[12:23] <bluesman> Gryllida: oh yes, but it is ending... after 10 minutes it closesed by himself in 10.04
[12:24] <amokpaule> is there no option to just trun off the background image?
[12:24] <jrib> amokpaule: what background image?
[12:24] <ikonia> ntr0py: they should be one of the first things to happen in a boot sequence
[12:24] <amokpaule> the desktop background
[12:24] <Gryllida> bluesman: Applications > Software Center , remove it and install again.
[12:25] <jrib> amokpaule: there probably isn't one in the gui.  You probably have to create a solid colored background to do that
[12:25] <bluesman> Gryllida: no, some other users have same Problem. Reinstall is no wax to fix it an /var/log/*** no reason
[12:26] <azlon> i want to connect 2 machines together to take advantage of their gigabit NICs since my switch is only 10/100. if i make a crossover cable and plug it in to each machine, will they just recognize each other and i can start transferring files?
[12:26] <amokpaule> so what CSid suggested to create a image myself with the colour i want?
[12:26] <CSiD> yes
[12:26] <CSiD> just use gimp and fill the entire page with the colour using the "fill-tool"
[12:26] <wildbat_laptop> azlon, you need to setup a manual ip connection
[12:27] <Gryllida> bluesman: either reinstall, or it should work fine with new user on the OS
[12:27] <amokpaule> ok ty, but i think i got what i wanted.
[12:27] <bluesman> ok, no help here .... thanks for listening
[12:27] <azlon> wildbat_laptop, ok, so give each machine a static IP, then i can start transferring files?
[12:27] <Lazydude> does anyone know why my wireless internet is capped at 11mbs
[12:27] <linduxed> i need to install unison on my laptop, but i specifically need the 2.27.57-1 version
[12:27] <bluesman> amokpaule: is running?
[12:27] <wildbat_laptop> azlon, kinda ~ with ssh or ftp or nfs etc...
[12:28] <Lazydude> i have a usb AWLL3028,  it should do 54mbs
[12:28] <azlon> wildbat_laptop, awesome, thanks
[12:28] <ntr0py> ikonia: i always end up in low graphics mode bacause nvidia drivers do not load properly before gdm tries to display the login prompt (there is some flickering and then i get the low graphics mode message) sometimes (very rare) it succeeds to display the login (e.g. when fsck delays gdm) and it always succeeds after restarting gdm. I suspect there to be a race between nvidia and gdm in upstart...
[12:28]  * azlon gets his crimpers
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> azlon:  from what ive heard with a GB <->GB connectiopn you dont need a crossover cable - Gb networking is 'supposed' to auto-detect and  crossover as needed
[12:28] <amokpaule> bluesman, yes there is abackground in one colour and over solid colur i chaged it to the colour i wanted
[12:28] <linduxed> the one in lucid is too new
[12:28] <CSiD> btw, if you want I know a forum thats pretty new, and the owner says he will leave me in charge in a few days, I can make any Ubuntu sections you want on it http://forum.xtremehacking.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=32    just want to contribute, like you could have a "solved problems" section so helping one person is helping a hundred?
[12:28] <jrib> linduxed: why?
[12:29] <amokpaule> bluesman, if its that what you wanted to know :)
[12:29] <linduxed> jrib: because unison is built in a way that each release is incompatible with any other release (or so it seems) so i need to install the lowest common release for all my computers
[12:29] <linduxed> jrib: one of them is a lenny box
[12:30] <bluesman> jrib: about amokpaule:  open gconf-editor with tree "apps" in Metacity and change value under general to ":minimize,maximaze,close" ... the ":" isz U want ;)
[12:30] <linduxed> jrib: so you have to jump a long way back to have it align
[12:31] <jrib> linduxed: I ask because that number after the - is specific to debian/ubuntu packaging.  So the version is 2.27.57.  However the package does have 3 patches.  You should see if those matter.  (They probably fix things, so it makes more sense to add them to your other unison)
[12:31] <amokpaule> bluesman, i did it over the terminal but it works so yes :)
[12:32] <corin_> how can i change a directory so that all future files created within it get a certain group ownership?
[12:32] <bluesman> amokpaule: to change from left (like Apple) to right I tell U. U have to start the apps now
[12:32] <jrib> linduxed: and I just looked at all the patches and they just seem to be typo fixes in documentation, nothing in the code
[12:33] <_picAssO_> i have a problem editing a tex-template: downloaded it and wanted to edit it with kile; but i can't change anything; even root can't write to file; my user owns the file and is allowed to read and write;
[12:33] <evilsherpa> hey all, i created a mount point via sudo mkdir /media/ipod
[12:33] <evilsherpa> how do i remove that mount point?
[12:33] <amokpaule> bluesman, everthing is working and looking now as i want it. :)
[12:33] <evilsherpa> whats the remove command
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> evilsherpa:  if its empty 'rmdir'
[12:34] <rumpsy> evilsherpa: what you want to remove
[12:34] <helpme111222> hey cud anyone help me out dual booting ubuntu  + win  7

[12:34] <bluesman> evilsherpa: pkill gnome-panel
[12:34] <linduxed> jrib: so how would i go about installing this old version on ubuntu?
[12:34] <ntr0py> Dr_Willis: Do you know what this could indicate: "NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such device or address)." ??
[12:35] <linduxed> jrib: getdeb?
[12:35] <jrib> linduxed: what old version?
[12:35] <easy-guy> I am ruining web server at <IP_ADDRESS> but i want to configure it with my ip so that world wide can brows. How can i do that please?
[12:35] <Galerien> helpme111222: ready the instructions ubottu gave you and if you don't understand something, /query me, but it better be good
[12:35] <evilsherpa> Dr_Willis, sudo rmdir /media/ipod
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> ntr0py:  never seen/heard of that error befor.
[12:35] <SmokeyD> nevermind, it was a local network thing I think
[12:35] <rumpsy> helpme111222: ubbotu is a bot
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> evilsherpa:  unmount the device first. of course. :)
[12:35] <bluesman> amokpaule: np, its OK for me... I know how to scroll or filter ;)
[12:35] <ntr0py> Dr_Willis: its in my gdm logs for that failed login prompts
[12:36] <corin_> how can i change a directory so that all future files created within it get a certain group ownership? (same as using chgrp on them)
[12:36] <rumpsy> !rss
[12:36] <siddhion> anyone here good at networking in Xubuntu?
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> ntr0py:  as a test. try making a new user. see if they can login.
[12:36] <easy-guy> I am ruining web server at <IP_ADDRESS> but i want to configure it with my ip so that world wide can brows. How can i do that please?
[12:36] <helpme111222> Galerien: i m stuck here.. i know how 2 dual boot wth windows .. bt here the issue is was cleaning up my 160gigs compeltey for a fresh dual boot.. bt m nt able to delete a partition says too many partitions. i guess its nt allowing me to delete a dynamic partition
[12:36] <bluesman> evilsherpa gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel | pkill gnome-panel
[12:36] <linduxed> jrib: oh wait... ive got a PPA version, that's why i had a newer one :-P
[12:36] <helpme111222> Galerien: can i PM u?
[12:37] <jrib> linduxed: yeah, latest unison in ubuntu universe is 2.27.57-2ubuntu2 .  Note I just saw one patch that moves the log file, but that probably doesn't matter?
[12:37] <corin_> easy-guy, ask in #httpd if using apache, or whatever channel for other webservers
[12:37] <helpme111222> Galerien: coz all the guides i know n read, tel me to first install win7 thn install ubuntu, so for tht sake i need 2 have win7 ... bt the win7 disc doesnt allow me to delete dynamic drives..
[12:37] <helpme111222> rumpsy: ya understod whn i tried to call it :P
[12:37] <Galerien> helpme111222: see my private message
