[00:00] <JZApples> VxQf, how do I find out what drive that is on then?  I would like to move it to the same drive as my OS and keep my two RAID arrays strictly for data storage.
[00:01] <VxQf> You're using ubuntu desktop?
[00:01] <fosburg> trying to figure out how to change desktop look and feel.  at present there is a bar (top screen) first5 pull down menu is applications. When I installed Ubuntuu, Icons ran down the left side.and had pull down menus.  that's what I want on the desktop--any suggestions how to fix?
[00:01] <JZApples> VxQf, 11.04, yes.
[00:01] <VxQf> Basically,
[00:01] <VxQf> Redoing swap partition is... annoying.
[00:02] <mengu> hi all. i'm opening my sound manager and i see no input devices there. why is that?
[00:02] <VxQf> And I don't recommend it unless you know what you're doing
[00:02] <VxQf> And have full backups of everything.
[00:02] <VxQf> If you have a few GB of free space on your OS disk you can just add a swap partition there
[00:02] <VxQf> But otherwise you'll need to resize
[00:02] <VxQf> Which can be dangerous.
[00:03] <bastidrazor> mega1_: in a terminal type sudo adduser usernametobeadmin admin
[00:03] <VxQf> You should pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[00:03] <teamcha> hi
[00:03] <krazykrivda> my vfat partition is mounted RW but the folder shows a LOCK icon ansd i cannot modify anything in it. even as root.. any suggestions?
[00:03] <teamcha> quit
[00:03] <JZApples> VxQf, can i resize the partition from live cd?  Pastebin coming.  Thank you so much for your help.
[00:03] <dontworry> Hello, I am having some trouble with my wireless usb stick. I have the proper drivers (from the CD) and I can see all the networks that are available to connect to, but when I try to connect to my home one and enter the passcode, it does not let me connect. I disabled the passcode just to try it out and it did connect. I was wondering why it wouldn't let me connect with a passcode
[00:04] <VxQf> Yes but resizing partitions is always dangerous
[00:04] <VxQf> Make sure you have full backups of all your data.
[00:04] <tzhuang> is anyone here familiar with vpn clients that can help me
[00:04] <tzhuang> i'm looking to connect to a remote server from china to bypass the youtube/fb block
[00:05] <VxQf> What do you need to know, tzhuang?
[00:06] <JZApples> VxQf, http://paste.ubuntu.com/660159/
[00:06] <JZApples> tzhuang, lol nice.  stick it to the man.
[00:06] <VxQf> IF you're using ubuntu you shouldn't need any vpn "clients" you can get plugins for network manager that will connect to most types of VPN
[00:06] <VxQf> IE cisco/openvpn
[00:07] <nezeroth> Can someone help me with an Ubuntu question regarding the use of dual monitors on dual (but different manuf) video cards?
[00:07] <VxQf> JZApples, swap partition is on SDA5....
[00:07] <usalabs> anyone know how I can stop the nVidia Control panel resolution from always returning back to 'Auto' (1024x768), every time I run an app that changes screen resolution, and I exit the app, the screen always returns back to 1024x768, even though I have changed res to 1152x864 and saved changes to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
[00:07] <qin> tzhuang: You could just try ssh and socks proxy
[00:08] <fosburg>   trying to figure out how to change desktop look and feel.  at present there is a bar (top screen) firsts pull down menu is applications. When I installed Ubuntuu, Icons ran down the left side.and had pull down menus.  that's what I want on the desktop--any suggestions how to fix?
[00:08] <JZApples> VxQf, Awesome!  That is its own partition on my OS disk.
[00:08] <VxQf> Right
[00:08] <VxQf> Seems odd that it would be mounting that through the mapper thoug.
[00:08] <VxQf> Is it just a normal sata disk?
[00:08] <bazhang> fosburg, choose unity from the login window
[00:08] <tzhuang> VxQf: looking for remote server to connect to on a vpn client that's free
[00:08] <mega1_> How do I list all users
[00:09] <tzhuang> VxQf: tired of looking for free proxies with a billion ads
[00:09] <tzhuang> qin: where can i get more info?
[00:09] <fosburg> ok on the login window
[00:09] <VxQf> tzhuang, Not really the place to be asking that to be honest.
[00:09] <JZApples> VxQf, it's listed as Unknown in Disk Utility.  Yes normal SATA.  I also have 4 1tb drives that I'm in the process of setting up software RAID 10 on and an external RAID 10 enclosure with 4 2tb disks.  Can you help me setup fstab and mtab?  I'm worried I'm going to screw something up.
[00:09] <DrekNYC> Mooooooootheeeeeeerr fuckeeeeeeeers :D
[00:09] <tzhuang> VxQf: hmmm any idea where i should be looking?
[00:09] <krazykrivda> my vfat partition is mounted RW but the folder shows a LOCK icon ansd i cannot modify anything in it. even as root.. any suggestions?
[00:10] <VxQf> tzhuang, most free vpn services are terrible and wont let you stream, FYI.
[00:10] <qin> tzhuang: man ssh, option -D, http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/12/08/ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-forwarding-secure-browsing/
[00:10] <VxQf> JZApples, Maybe. yse UUIDs
[00:10] <VxQf> Oh wait
[00:10] <VxQf> Can you even do that with a mapper?
[00:10] <VxQf> lol
[00:11] <usalabs> tzhuang try installing Tor it's an anonymity proxy service
[00:11] <JZApples> VxQf, i was planning on using UUIDs.  wouldn't I want to change that to /dev/sda5 in fstab?
[00:11] <tzhuang> VxQf, qin: thx for the help i'll look into the link qin posted
[00:11] <VxQf> usalabs, tor is not meant for streaming youtube.
[00:12] <VxQf> JZApples, no.
[00:12] <VxQf> sudo blkid /dev/sda5
[00:12] <VxQf> Will get you the uuid
[00:12] <VxQf> and in fstab is appears as uuid="UUID"
[00:12] <tzhuang> usalabs: thx
[00:12] <VxQf> without quotes
[00:13] <JZApples> VxQf, also, if I don't have a floppy drive, can this row be removed from fstab?  /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
[00:13] <VxQf> Speaking of which
[00:13] <VxQf> Sure you can get rid of it.
[00:13] <JZApples> VxQf, yeah I was planning on using blkid to get UUID of all drives for fstab.
[00:13] <nezeroth> Any takers on the dual video card question?
[00:14] <JZApples> VxQf, isn't it also weird that my OS partition isn't listed in fstab?  I thought that was weird.  after taking out the floppy, all i have is the swap in there.
[00:14] <bazhang> !details | nezeroth
[00:14] <VxQf> nezeroth, that is not fun.
[00:14] <vanquish349> my brother touched my computer yesturday is there a way i can check what he did
[00:14] <JZApples> vanquish349, beat the information out of him.
[00:15] <vanquish349> he is 19 i am 14
[00:15] <JZApples> vanquish349, lol.
[00:15] <DeamosSeraph> heh
[00:15] <VxQf> I don't really have the experience but if you can't use the manufacturer thing like twinview, you'll need to either do sparate x-screens or xinerama...
[00:15] <mega1_> Can anyone tell me how to list all users
[00:15] <VxQf> mega1, cat /etc/passwd
[00:15] <nezeroth> I am running Ubuntu 11.04 (11.4?) and am running two monitors connected to two different video cards, I can only use my main display but I want to be able to use both cards and extend the desktop, help?
[00:16] <VxQf> Or if you want all users currently logged in just type users
[00:16] <VxQf> nezeroth, try looking into xinerama?
[00:16] <VxQf> IIRC that will do something like what you are after
[00:16] <nezeroth> ah, is that what that does? lol, I had a hunch.
[00:16] <VxQf> But I don't think it will do it as well as the nvidia/ati software.
[00:16] <escott> nezeroth, very hard to do AFAIK. usually you need one X server per video card
[00:16] <bazhang> !xrandr > nezeroth
 fosburg, choose unity from the login window.  How do I get to the login window?  Sorry for my lack of knowledge
[00:18] <vanquish349> so is there a way i can check what he did
[00:18] <wrtiii> Could someone please give me a brief rundown on clonezilla?  I have intalled my server, configured static IP, SSH, and used Tasksel for LAMP Server.  I added my user to the www-data group and put a quick coming soon html page up via winscp. http://afterlife.dyndns.tv   I still need to configure the dns servers or something since I went static IP?  but what I want to be able to do is create a
[00:18] <wrtiii> mirror image of my server so if I make a mistake somewhere or break something while I start moving into territory that I am not very famillar with I can just back up a step from my backup.
[00:18] <bazhang> fosburg, when you start up, the place your username and password is, for you to log in to your system; choose a user, then select from the bottom panel
[00:18] <mengu> how do i reduce the noise that i get with the microphone?
[00:19] <bazhang> mengu, reduce in alsamixer (in terminal)
[00:19] <escott> nezeroth, if it is going to work your xorg.conf will need to be hand edited something like http://www.lukemacneil.com/computer-articles/xorg-conf-for-dual-video-cards-monitors-and-tv-out
[00:19] <mengu> which one? mic boost?
[00:19] <bazhang> wrtiii, check the clonezilla support forums
[00:19] <mASOUD_42> fosburg : click on the power icon on top right corner, choose logoff. then at the bottom middle there's a drop down list: ubuntu classic, unity, etc. choose unity and then login
[00:19] <escott> mengu, the mic boost gain should be lowered
[00:20] <fosburg> ok. thank you
[00:20] <mengu> thanks escott & bazhang
[00:20] <minimec> mengu: disable mic boost (type 'm' for 'mute')
[00:21] <krazykrivda> can anyone help me with mounting issues
[00:21] <bazhang> krazykrivda, need way more details
[00:21] <nezeroth> escott, wow, that seems complicated. I do not feel comfortable with that just yet, in fact I am looking at the link the bot sent me and Im not sure I can do that either.
[00:22] <krazykrivda> this is my mount : /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,iocharset=utf8,umask=000)
[00:22] <nezeroth> seems I am in for a night of reading, lol
[00:22] <escott> krazykrivda, for fat one of the mount options is to set a user to own the files (fat has no concept of file ownership)
[00:22] <escott> krazykrivda, you are missing that option
[00:22] <carl1408> I have 9.10 and want to do a distribution upgrade online.  How to..?
[00:22] <nezeroth> afk one second, need more coffee.
[00:22] <krazykrivda> escott: what woudl I declare for EVERYONE to own?>
[00:23] <escott> nezeroth, and you only have a hope of this working if both cards are the same manufacturer (preferably identical)
[00:23] <escott> krazykrivda, set ownership to nobody and set the mask to give full permissions i guess
[00:24] <shorttech> all USB external HS should automount correct?
[00:24] <thevaliantx> how can i get my usb device (an android phone) to be recognized?
[00:24] <carl1408> I tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade    But didn't work.
[00:24] <usalabs> tzhuang PM
[00:24] <carl1408> thevaliantx: It should just come up like a usb device.
[00:24] <krazykrivda> escott: i'm not to familiar and have not used permissions/fstab in a while.. can u tell me what to put in
[00:24] <escott> thevaliantx, make sure the phone is set to usb mass storage and not charge. its in the phone's settings
[00:25] <nezeroth> one card is ati, the other is nvidia, but soon I hope to put my other similar nvidia card in with the SLI, but for now this is the setup I have XP
[00:25] <carl1408> thevaliantx: As escott says and then it should come up just like any other USB storage device.
[00:26] <escott> nezeroth, abandon all hope.. thats not going to work
[00:26] <nezeroth> escott, I never abandon  hope, I just boot windows lol
[00:26] <usalabs>  anyone know how I can stop the nVidia Control panel resolution from always returning back to 'Auto' (1024x768), every time I run an app that changes screen resolution, and I exit the app, the screen always returns back to 1024x768, even though I have changed res to 1152x864 and saved changes to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
[00:26] <thevaliantx> escott i'm not sure where to find that in the settings.
[00:27] <ski_> hm, is there a way to get `ls -a' to list files starting with `.' separate from other files ? i'm looking through the `man' and `info' pages, but can't seem to find anything relevant -- it says "By default, sorting is done by character code (e.g., ASCII order).", but apparently that is not the case here
[00:27] <escott> nezeroth, the two would have completely different opengl library files. you might get things to work in vesa mode but why bother
[00:27] <krazykrivda> escott: hwo about this: /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000)
[00:27] <nezeroth> escott, I see your point and would tend to agree that this undertaking is quite beyond my abilities. Thank you for the information.
[00:28] <thevaliantx> escott the phone says that it is connected via usb, and that usb debugging is connected, yet nothing is showing when i try to find the device in nautilus
[00:28] <nezeroth> Oh, I had another question, can Ubuntu run MMO's?
[00:28] <escott> krazykrivda, that would seem ok. your normal user would be the main login, and the umask should give full permissions
[00:29] <nezeroth> Like Rift or Star Trek Online?
[00:29] <krazykrivda> escott: btu it still is NOT working.. even as root i cannot modify files
[00:29] <escott> krazykrivda, what are the permissions being reported as? what does ls -l say
[00:30] <escott> krazykrivda, also be sure to check the permissions of the mountpoint itself
[00:30] <krazykrivda> escott: drwxrwxrwx 42 charlie users 32768 1969-12-31 19:00 FILES
[00:30] <bullgard4_> I reinstalled Ubuntu using the 'ubuntu Server 11.04' CD. When the login screen appears, I cannot move the cursor, and Ctrl+Alt+F1 has no effect. How to fix that?
[00:30] <krazykrivda> escott: and moutn command returns : /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000)
[00:30] <usalabs> ski_ have you tried piping using grep?, I don't exactly know the regex for grep, but it mught work
[00:30] <robinbowes> I'm using indamixx 4.3 which is based on Ubuntu
[00:31] <robinbowes> ACtually, it's transmissionOS 4.3, which is based on Ubuntu
[00:31] <escott> krazykrivda, what about ls -l /mnt/FILES/* what are the permissions inside are they not rwxrwxrwx?
[00:31] <lilcyber> Hey, did Ubuntu ever fix the heat bug in the Linux kernel?
[00:31] <robinbowes> I believe it is based on jaunty
[00:31] <ski_> usalabs : how would `grep' help, here ?
[00:31] <krazykrivda> mostly directories instide.. but here is 1 file directly at /mnt/FILES/*
[00:31] <krazykrivda> -rwxrwxrwx   1 charlie users   179 2010-05-08 14:10 examples.desktop
[00:32] <robinbowes> I need to install a driver for my wireless card
[00:32] <usalabs> ski_ ls -a | grep {regex} to show only . files
[00:32] <escott> thevaliantx, its not debugging mode. when you first plugin the usb cord it should put a notification at the top of the phone. click on that notification should allow you to change the usb connection mode to usb mass storage (which will unmount the sdhc card on the phone and export it to your computer)
[00:32] <nezeroth> Oh, does Ubuntu have a way for me to see my core temps on my processor and other stuff like that?
[00:32] <ski_> usalabs : i'm attempting to get back the behaviour i know i had with `ls' before, so it should apply to `ls -a', `ls -al', &c.
[00:32] <centr0> how do i key bind a script?
[00:32] <robinbowes> According to: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download I can simply use:
[00:32] <robinbowes> sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty
[00:32] <krazykrivda> escott: even sudo mv/cp etc.. return read-only file system
[00:32] <rww> !lm-sensors | ski_
[00:32] <rww> erm, wrong person.
[00:32] <usalabs> ski_ oh, sorry misunderstanding :(
[00:32] <rww> nezeroth: ^^^^
[00:32] <thune3> ski_: -d option ls -ad .*  ?
[00:32] <lilcyber> @ nezeroth it does, just go to the byobu terminal
[00:32] <escott> krazykrivda, and you can't "touch /mnt/FILES/testfile.txt"
[00:32] <bregma> _ski: LANG=C ls -la
[00:33] <robinbowes> But, I'm guessing that I would need to add the jaunty repos to get that package?
[00:33] <bregma> _ski the problem is the default locale in your login session
[00:33] <escott> !info sensors | nezeroth
[00:33] <lilcyber> @nezroth it is in Celsius though
[00:33] <krazykrivda> escott: nope :-\
[00:33] <krazykrivda> charlie@Charlie-Ubuntu:/mnt/FILES/Videos/Full Length$ touch /mnt/FILES/test touch: cannot touch `/mnt/FILES/test': Read-only file system\
[00:33] <ski_> thune3 : i want all files, just "sorting is done by character code" which the `info' page claims, but which actually doesn't happen
[00:34] <krazykrivda> escott: and sudo touch.. returns the same
[00:34] <escott> krazykrivda, thats really weird. what kind of media is this? usb, cd or what
[00:34] <nezeroth> rww, lilcyber, escott, I am not sure how to use either of those, sorry, could you tell me again like I was 5 ^.^
[00:34] <bregma> ski_, sorting is done according to te rules defined in the LC_COLLATE locale
[00:34] <ski_> since the default behaviour has changed, i'm assuming there's an option to get the old behaviour, but i don't know what it is
[00:34] <krazykrivda> escott: this is simply a partition on my hardrive.. ahd been working using fstab for months then 1 day.. it doesn't
[00:34] <rww> nezeroth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto has instructions.
[00:34] <lilcyber> @nezroth ok, which ubuntu do you have?
[00:34] <linuxman567> Hey!
[00:35] <lilcyber> Hey linuxman567
[00:35] <nezeroth> lilcyber, 11.04 or 11.4 something like that
[00:35] <ski_> bregma : ty. would you happend to know where i would look for info on that ?
[00:35] <nezeroth> the new one
[00:35] <OvermindDL1> I am trying to get a USB microphone to forward through the sound system so it comes out the primary speakers in Kubuntu, but I can find no way to do so, is there a way and if so then how?
[00:35] <bregma> ski_, start with man locale
[00:35] <OvermindDL1> 11.04
[00:35] <kevin_> hello
[00:36] <alessandro_> !lista
[00:36] <nezeroth> thank you OvermindDL1
[00:36] <lilcyber> nezoth Ok go to the top left at the ubuntu logo click it and type in byobu terminal and click on it, the temp will be in C, also Is this related to the cpu heat?
[00:36] <lilcyber> *bug
[00:36] <ski_> bregma : ty
[00:36] <etass> hi all, i hope this doesnt go off topic, i think i accidentally did something "risky", i opened a website supposedly filled with spyware and browser exploit (only the latter being a threat i hope), the situation is 32 bit 11.04 ubuntu, apparmor on (firefox default) javascript (strict) on (blocked by noscript tho)  and images on, now i happen to see that that site may potentially harm my pc , is there any way to see if it happened or should i be worried? also,
[00:36] <etass> what protection does apparmor's default firefox profile offer? thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question
[00:36] <bregma> ski_, you can just set LANG or LC_ALL in your .profile
[00:36] <krazykrivda> escott: are you out of ideas as well?
[00:36] <qin> ski_: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/22464-ls-output-order.html something to do with locale, or: for i in `ls -a` ; do echo $i | grep "^\."; done; ls -1
[00:37] <thune3> ski_: ls -av ?
[00:37] <nezeroth> lilcyber, installing now.
[00:38] <lilcyber> Ah you didn't have it before?
[00:38] <nezeroth> lilcyber, no but I do now, I installed it from the native terminal
[00:39] <ski_> qin : wouldn't that snippet only print dot-files ?
[00:39] <lilcyber> nezroth: Good, open it up and look at the bottom of the terminal. It should have in yellow the cpu temp
[00:39] <qin> ski_: thune3 ismore elegant with -v
[00:39] <ski_> thune3 : "-v     natural sort of (version) numbers within text" -- i'm unsure of what all the implications of using this flag is ..
[00:40] <nezeroth> are you sure thats not voltage, lilcyber?
[00:40] <lilcyber> I am sure, I have checked.
[00:40] <nezeroth> kk, thank you
[00:40] <escott> krazykrivda, the permissions say it should work. im not clear on why it wouldnt
[00:40] <lilcyber> nezeroth Your welcome.
[00:41] <nezeroth> lilcyber, what else can I do in this byobu terminal?
[00:41] <bregma> ski_, ls -v will sort 6 befoe 18
[00:41] <krazykrivda> escott: ok.. wel thank you for ur help.. i swear everything was fine and working 1 day.. then the next.. ntohign worked.. and fstab was not changed
[00:42] <lilcyber> nezroth well if you hit F9 while in that terminal you can see the gadgets you can see, and the same exact thing you do in native terminal
[00:42] <nezeroth> lilcyber, so its just an updated/different native terminal from the one that comes with Ubuntu?
[00:42] <usalabs> ski_ the behavior of ls is determined in the .bashrc file in a user directory
[00:43] <etass> hi all, i hope this doesnt go off topic, i think i accidentally did something "risky", i opened a website supposedly filled with spyware and browser exploit (only the latter being a threat i hope), the situation is 32 bit 11.04 ubuntu, apparmor on (firefox default) javascript (strict) on (blocked by noscript tho)  and images on, now i happen to see that that site may potentially harm my pc , is there any way to see if it happened or should i be worried? also,
[00:43] <etass> what protection does apparmor's default firefox profile offer? thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question
[00:43] <lilcyber> nezeroth yes it is a the same terminal just a different look.
[00:43] <nezeroth> lilcyber, cool beans...you know of any good games I can play on this thing?
[00:43] <omeromer> I broke my unity profile on compiz... can anyone please send me the default unity profile?
[00:44] <lilcyber> nezeroth Actually I was just looking at them, private chat and we will talk, as so not to disturb the other people that need help
[00:44] <xangua> omeromer: you mean¿¿: unty --reset
[00:44] <xangua> unity --reset  *
[00:44] <omeromer> it didn't help
[00:44] <omeromer> I'm still missing the top bar and everything is just broken
[00:45] <omeromer> I tried all commands recommended on the internet none worked
[00:45] <omeromer> this is freaking me out I hope I can fix this
[00:45] <bregma> ski_, try "info coreutils ;ls invocation'" for a detailed description of ls options and how to control them
[00:45] <lilcyber> omeromer I think you need to reinstall ubuntu
[00:45] <omeromer> is that for sure?
[00:46] <omeromer> no other way?
[00:46] <lilcyber> omeromer: I am not sure, but I doubt it. Well when you log in you can switch from ubuntu to ubuntu classic to see if that works.
[00:47] <omeromer> brb I'm doing a reset
[00:49] <omeromer2> lilcyber
[00:49] <omeromer2> when I turn on the PC
[00:49] <omeromer2> it doesn't even ask me to choose a user
[00:49] <omeromer2> it just instantly logs on as the only existing user
[00:49] <lilcyber> ok then log out, or switch users (top left power button)
[00:49] <ski_> bregma : yeah, i already did that :)
[00:50] <lilcyber> Then try
[00:50] <omeromer2> well
[00:50] <omeromer2> I don't have a top left power button
[00:50] <omeromer2> I don't have anything
[00:50] <lilcyber> Ah hmm..... you have terminal?
[00:50] <omeromer2> yes
[00:50] <etass> hi all, i hope this doesnt go off topic, i think i accidentally did something "risky", i opened a website supposedly filled with spyware and browser exploit (only the latter being a threat i hope), the situation is 32 bit 11.04 ubuntu, apparmor on (firefox default) javascript (strict) on (blocked by noscript tho)  and images on, now i happen to see that that site may potentially harm my pc , is there any way to see if it happened or should i be worried? also,
[00:50] <etass> what protection does apparmor's default firefox profile offer? thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question
[00:50] <ski_> usalabs : well, i doubt that, since i'm using `tcsh', not `bash'
[00:50] <lilcyber> omeromer2 hold on
[00:52] <minimec> omeromer2: Try 'metacity --replace' in that terminal. That should swich the session to 'ubuntu classic'. I think that should give you a top and bottom panel.
[00:52] <usalabs> ski_ have you tried ls -alF
[00:52] <ski_> usalabs : alias ls ls -aFl
[00:53] <minimec> omeromer2: metacity --replace will change the window-manager from unity (compiz) to the old gnome metacity window manager.
[00:53] <minimec> omeromer2: Only for the current session ;)
[00:54] <omeromer2> minimec I've tried that
[00:54] <omeromer2> it only gives me window title bars back
[00:55] <minimec> omeromer2: but you don have a panel... try gnome-panel in terminal after having swiched to metycity.
[00:55] <omeromer2> kk sec
[00:56] <usalabs> ski_ I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but using under tcsh have you tried alias % \ls which should return ls to default
[00:56] <omeromer2> wow great I got the gnome panel
[00:58] <Omni|Work> Is there a canonical (pun intended) way to install a command by pathame on the command line of Ubuntu? In Fedora, for example, I would do 'yum install /user/bin/telnet'.
[00:58] <mega1_> How can i get ubuntu server to format unpartctioned space on my hd
[00:58] <lolmatic> why does metacity take up 400 mb ram?
[00:58] <bazhang> Omni|Work, install a command?
[00:59] <etass> hi all, i hope this doesnt go off topic, i think i accidentally did something "risky", i opened a website supposedly filled with spyware and browser exploit (only the latter being a threat i hope), the situation is 32 bit 11.04 ubuntu, apparmor on (firefox default) javascript (strict) on (blocked by noscript tho)  and images on, now i happen to see that that site may potentially harm my pc , is there any way to see if it happened or should i be worried? also,
[00:59] <etass> what protection does apparmor's default firefox profile offer? thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question
[01:00] <ski_> usalabs : i can assure you the problem is not about using `alias' or about using `tcsh' instead of `bash'
[01:01] <thevaliantx> escott: i really appreciate the help.  i wish there were a Linux app designed specifically for Android for the purposes of transferring file (ie, photos, MUSIC) to the Android and vice versa.  ironic given that Android runs on a Linux kernel.
[01:01] <K-Rich> said i needed to plug in :/ 4 hours though so not bad
[01:01] <thevaliantx> should i put all of my music in the DCIM folder?
[01:01] <usalabs> ski_ also your ls aliases are stored in ~/.cshrc
[01:01] <usalabs> ski oh ok
[01:03] <al_nz1> why do I get "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" when I enter mysql at cli?
[01:03] <thevaliantx> gotta' run to work, thanks for the help escott
[01:06] <mina2> im stuck trying to configure my phone via bluetooth to use it as a modem. in ubuntu 10.10. my phone is nokia 2730 classic. can anyone help please
[01:07] <mmcji> how do I fix network UNCLAIMED error for eth0 on my pc?  I am running the latest updated ubuntu 11.04 on dell inspiron 1520.  The hardware for eth0 is BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX
[01:07] <mmcji> wireless works fine and the eth0 interface is detected fine wit the live cd as well
[01:07] <mmcji> but when I install ubuntu, the ethernet interface does not work
[01:09] <thune3> Omni|Work: apt-file (needs package apt-file) will allow you to find what package a file would belong to, then you could install the package.
[01:09] <mina2> hello
[01:10] <etass> hi all, i hope this doesnt go off topic, i think i accidentally did something "risky", i opened a website supposedly filled with spyware and browser exploit (only the latter being a threat i hope), the situation is 32 bit 11.04 ubuntu, apparmor on (firefox default) javascript (strict) on (blocked by noscript tho)  and images on, now i happen to see that that site may potentially harm my pc , is there any way to see if it happened or should i be worried? also,
[01:10] <etass> what protection does apparmor's default firefox profile offer? thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question
[01:12] <mmcji> etass: 99% chance you are just fine
[01:12] <mattalexx> How can I, if I have the string "/dev/sda1", get that partition's file system type into a variable? "ext3" for example.
[01:12] <mmcji> clear all cache , history etc in your browser, close and reopen
[01:13] <MXIIA> a friend of mine says that ubuntu suddenly stopped accepting keyboard/mouse input, then upon reboot he goes into a bootloop, any ideas?
[01:13] <mmcji> as long as you were not logged in as root, the chances of anything happening in linux are very very remote
[01:13] <etass> mmcji: so you say i shouldnt worry even if that site is actively used to spread malware? (i can link you it and its wot rate if u like)
[01:13] <willwh> MXIIA: is the disk encrypted?
[01:13] <willwh> or maybe just fubar? :P
[01:13] <mmcji> sure send me the link
[01:13] <bullgard4_> I reinstalled Ubuntu using the 'ubuntu Server 11.04' CD. Now  I cannot login neither as a normal first user on the classical GNOME login screen nor on a virtual console probably because the keyboard layout setting is wrong. I can login as a second user though. How to fix this?
[01:13] <MXIIA> willwh, not that I'm aware of.
[01:14] <willwh> have you tried booting from a liveCD?
[01:14] <willwh> and mounting the disk?
[01:14] <mmcji> windows would be a different story
[01:14] <MXIIA> I'll suggest that.
[01:15] <mmcji> etass: what is hte link?
[01:15] <lenshark> hi guys. i'm browsing into a site which asks for a captcha input, but then the image is not shown. firebugged it and saw the image is restricted from me.. and have this message by google: "Unusual traffic from your computer network"
[01:15] <etass> mmcji: did i send it via pm?
[01:15] <mmcji> i didn't see it.  your not sending me to a naughty site are you?
[01:15] <mina2> hello
[01:16] <mmcji> lol
[01:16] <lenshark> is there a tool in ubuntu i can use to detect what queries my ip is sending, something like that ?
[01:16] <etass> sent it
[01:16] <lenshark> the issue is here: http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?&&answer=86640
[01:16] <willwh> lenshark: netstat
[01:16] <etass> mmcji: i pm'd it im not sure we're allowed to share such links (non ubuntu related)
[01:16] <duan> hello
[01:17] <willwh> lenshark: also iftop is good :)
[01:17] <lenshark> hmm. willwh ok will try now
[01:17] <duan> new one
[01:17] <marian_> hi all
[01:17] <MXIIA> willwh, what would you suggest I do after I get the LiveCD to boot?
[01:18] <lilcyber> MXIIA install it
[01:18] <willwh> MXIIA: no, don't do that
[01:18] <willwh> just try mounting the hard disk
[01:18] <MXIIA> :P lilcyber do you know what the problem is
[01:18] <mina2> hello has anyone been successful in using a nokia 3g phone as a modem in ubuntu 10.10?
[01:18] <MXIIA> willwh, what would that have to do with keyboard/mouse input?
[01:18] <willwh> then I would probably take a look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog
[01:18] <lilcyber> MXIIA no, and sorry haha.
[01:18] <lenshark> willwh, i run iftop and got this: "pcap_open_live(eth1): socket: Operation not permitted"
[01:19] <willwh> lenshark: sudo iftop ;)
[01:19] <MXIIA> willwh, alright.
[01:19] <willwh> MXIIA: remember it will be those logs on the mounted disk - not the LiveCD fs :)
[01:19] <mina2> i addedd the phone (paired it via bluetooth) selected the use phone as a modem and ran a configuration program (gave the apn and phone number) but it doesn't connect
[01:19] <duan> how uesing liux
[01:20] <MXIIA> willwh, of course :P
[01:20] <lenshark> cool, thanks willwh
[01:21] <willwh> np :)
[01:21] <lenshark> so i believe that the second column are the sites that my ip is connecting into, right willwh because there are a ton of it right now
[01:22] <exodus_ms> I have three terminal profiles. I would like to start each profile at startup. Is there a way to autostart each by "title" instead of using the command Gnome-terminal in autostart applications? Using this command only starts one instance of the terminal
[01:22] <mASOUD_42> mina2: can you take a screenshot? i may be able to help
[01:22] <cipherboy> has anyone looked into e4rat?
[01:24] <Omni|Work> thune3: Thank you!
[01:24] <Omni|Work> bazhang: Yes. Install the 'telnet' command. Though I suppose it would be equally valid to say 'install the telnet executable'.

[01:41] <mulder__> need help with logitech quickam with skype on ubuntu 10.10
[01:42] <Ademan> when I try and run a liveCD after selecting language my monitor goes into standby mode and does not come back. the alternate cd's video output works fine fwiw
[01:43] <KOVU> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam this might be of help to you
[01:44] <KOVU> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams
[01:45] <mulder__> Thanks Kovu, I tried that link and I can't get neither sound or video recognized
[01:46] <mulder__> Not sure what I am doing wrong or right here.
[01:46] <jaime> hola
[01:46] <KOVU> hmm um have you updated to the latest driverers
[01:46] <mulder__> I have the latest ATI drivers
[01:46] <lilcyber> Well have to restart brb
[01:47] <KOVU> ok what webcam is it
[01:47] <KOVU> i will see if i cant find something
[01:47] <mulder__> Logitech Quickam/IM connect
[01:47] <KOVU> ok
[01:48] <bullgard4_> sabaton: Your article does not mention the word "keyboard" at all. Why did you recommend it to me?
[01:49] <Asahina> Thanks KOVU ...
[01:49] <Asahina> wow, it worked
[01:49] <mulder__> Thank you Kovu
[01:49] <Asahina> I just wished I could change the login box too
[01:49] <KOVU> i use a "046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM/Connect" on ubuntu 9.04 amd64. the webcam just shows garbage while testing and simply shows nothing in calls.  a workaround is to move /usr/bin/skype to /usr/bin/skype.real install lib32v4l-0 via apt-get and create a new /usr/bin/skype with the following content:  #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype.real    after that the webcam works.
[01:50] <KOVU> #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype.real if you paste that in terminal it should fix it
[01:50] <mulder__> Basically if I go into options/video devices and click on the back window with test in it, nothing shows us
[01:51] <mulder__> the select webcam shows: USB camera etc...though
[01:51] <KOVU> have you updated your skype
[01:51] <mulder__> I have the version from synaptic
[01:52] <mulder__> <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:53] <mulder__> the window is still black showing nothing Kovu :-(
[01:53] <KOVU> hmm
[01:54] <KOVU> im out of ideas anyone else have an idea how to fix the problem
[01:55] <mASOUD_42> cheese webcam.  test if it webcam works. if so somethings wrong with skype
[01:55] <mulder__> This is driving bananas man I don't know what to do and I don't want to use windows!
[01:56] <lilcyber> mulder__ what's wrong?
[01:56] <mulder__> Hello Lil. I don't have any video showing in skype <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:57] <mulder__> Well I have video showing in cheese.
[01:57] <lilcyber> Upgrade to the newest one(beta). Video works with it.
[01:57] <mulder__> I have version <IP_ADDRESS> is that not the latest on ubuntu?
[01:58] <lilcyber> Nope.
[01:58] <mASOUD_42> mulder__: try          "gstreamer-properties" meddle with video input there
[01:58] <lilcyber> The latest is 2.4 I think.
[01:58] <scottamunga> Hello.  I'm trying to connect to my wife's laptop through our network.  I can see it under Network in Ubuntu, but when I put in the username and password, it doesn't work.  Does anybody know how to verify the username and password in Windows Vista?
[01:58] <lilcyber> Wait nvm it is 2.2
[01:58] <bullgard4_> [Natty Server 64 bit] Using the command line, how can I change the default keyboard layout from USA to Germany?
[01:58] <th0r> mulder__: give me a minute to upload a script for you....should get the webcam working
[01:59] <lilcyber> @bullgard4 you can change it when you login
[01:59] <mulder__> Thank you guys I am waiting :-)
[01:59] <lilcyber> it is the middle option
[01:59] <th0r> mulder__: http://pastebin.com/5YBu9e97
[01:59] <th0r> mulder__: make that an executable script and instead of calling skype call that script. It might get the webcam working
[02:00] <bullgard4_> lilcyber: No. I asked for something else: _command line_
[02:00] <lilcyber> AH I didn't see that.
[02:01] <w3bcrawler> is there a way to automatically run a certain command on logout? ie rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
[02:01] <Romin> Hi guys, anyone recommend a good GUI for c/c++ development? Ubuntu 11.04.
[02:02] <w3bcrawler> Eclipse.
[02:02] <TheEvilPhoenix> Romin:  eclipse
[02:02] <w3bcrawler> It's top notch.
[02:04] <scottamunga> Hello.  I'm trying to connect to my wife's laptop through our network.  I can see it under Network in Ubuntu, but when I put in the username and password, it doesn't work.  Does anybody know how to verify the username and password in Windows Vista?
[02:05] <w3bcrawler> usually to have a network between a ubuntu & windows pc, you need to have samba installed on the linux machine
[02:05] <TheEvilPhoenix> scottamunga:  you using Samba?
[02:05] <scottamunga> TheEvilPhoenix: yes.
[02:05] <w3bcrawler> scottamunga: are you just trying to transfer files?
[02:05] <mulder__> @Thor: How do I make that string you sent an executable?
[02:06] <TheEvilPhoenix> w3bcrawler:  can I /query you for about 15 seconds?
[02:06] <scottamunga> w3bcrawler: yes.  I've already set up my wife's computer to access files in Windows, but I can't figure out the reverse.  I entered what I thought was her username and password, but Ubuntu didn't accept them.
[02:06] <w3bcrawler> sure, whatever floats your boat.
[02:06] <w3bcrawler> i just use openssh and winSCP to save myself the headache of networking with samba
[02:07] <th0r> mulder__: paste that entire thing into a text file. Call it 'fixed-skype'. then make the file executable (in a terminal type 'chmod a+x fixed-skype'
[02:07] <th0r> mulder__: then copy it to /usr/local/bin (terminal again....sudo cp fixed-skype /usr/local/bin)
[02:07] <mulder__> text file=text editor?
[02:07] <madprops> where can I access inittab to check what runlevel i have as default?
[02:08] <th0r> mulder__: right...just copy and paste from your web browser to gedit or some such editor
[02:09] <w3bcrawler> scottamunga: have you tried creating a separate username/password on the windows machine
[02:09] <canonin> Heya!
[02:09] <scottamunga> w3bcrawler: The only account is her admin account, which she runs from.
[02:09] <scottamunga> not very safe probably
[02:10] <NiCoLaS> How do I kill Update Manage (which is frozen) safely
[02:10] <w3bcrawler> scottamunga: perhaps you should try setting up a guest account and try with those credentials
[02:10] <NiCoLaS> "sync; sudo pkill [update manager pid]"?
[02:10] <w3bcrawler> NiCoLaS: alt-f2, type in xkill, type enter, and click on the frozen window.
[02:11] <scottamunga> w3bcrawler: I found that in Control Panel right as you said that.  Creepy. :)
[02:11] <scottamunga> I'll try it
[02:11] <mulder__> @thor: Not sure why but I have this when I put it in the terminal: sudo cp fixed-skype /usr/local/bin
[02:11] <mulder__> cp: cannot stat `fixed-skype': No such file or directory
[02:11] <w3bcrawler> scottamunga: brb!
[02:11] <NiCoLaS> w3bcrawler: Neat, I didn't know xkill existed.
[02:11] <w3bcrawler> NiCoLaS: :)
[02:11] <scottamunga> alright
[02:11] <NiCoLaS> Thanks.
[02:11] <canonin> any ob users here?
[02:11] <th0r> mulder__: did you use sudo ?
[02:12] <mulder__> ahem ...no oooops
[02:12] <mulder__> whistling away!
[02:12] <ddw_music> need some urgent help -- i followed advice to install ubuntu on a usb stick, not as a live install, but a "full" install -- and it overwrote some grub info -- now i can't boot into the systems on my HD -- I just get "error: fd0 cannot get C/H/S values /// grub rescue" what do i do next?
[02:12] <mulder__> let me try again
[02:13] <Romin> w3bcrawler and TheEvilPhoenix: I have Eclipse and "C/C++ Developer Tools for Eclipse" from the software center. Eclipse isn't recognizing "#include <iostream>" or any library for that matter.
[02:13] <mulder__> damn still the same message
[02:14] <th0r> mulder__: are you in the directory where you saved the file in gedit?
[02:15] <Romin> Any ideas as to how I could fix that?
[02:15] <disse> Problem: home dir encryption after installation, encryption pass 45 signs, sudo/user pass shouldn't be the same
[02:15] <mulder__> I saved the file on the desktop Thor
[02:15] <mASOUD_42> mulder__: change the "fixed-skype" with the name of the file you want to move
[02:15] <th0r> mulder__: ok...then in the terminal type 'cd ~/Desktop' and try the command again
[02:15] <ddw_music> hi - is anyone there? i need help with a corrupted grub -- hopefully very soon -- i cannot boot into ANYTHING on my computer -- will provide details once someone replies
[02:16] <coz_> ddw_music,  did you try the #grub channel ?  not  to push you away , however if no one can help who is online at the moment,, try either # grub or   ## linux
[02:17] <ddw_music> ok
[02:17] <ddw_music> in the meantime i found a webpage that may help
[02:17] <coz_> ddw_music,  i still tend to "wing" it with grub at this point
[02:17] <mulder__> man oh man...Ok I typed that command and nothing happens.
[02:18] <mulder__> why skype is so crap in ubuntu! grrrrr
[02:18] <th0r> mulder__: attitude gets you nowhere
[02:19] <wildbat> mulder__: because it belongs to M$ XD
[02:19] <mulder__> I am just frustrated that's all :-(
[02:19] <Romin> Lol wildbat
[02:19] <mulder__> well yes of course
[02:20] <mulder__> but the cam shows as USB camera (046d:08d9) (/dev/video0)
[02:20] <mulder__> it works using cheese
[02:21] <owen1> i need to control a laptop remotely (with graphic). both my laptop and the other one are xubuntu. what app should i install on each laptop?
[02:22] <wildbat> !vnc | owen1:  VNC server and viewer
[02:23] <wildbat> owen1: freenx is nice and fast  too but not then same session.
[02:23] <mulder__> even the microphone shows PulseAudio server (local) but that should be the webcam instead right?
[02:24] <wildbat> mulder__: if pulse is set to the webcam mic you are fine . i dunno you video thou ;)
[02:24] <owen1> wildbat: what do u mean 'not the same session'?
[02:25] <mulder__> I don't know what else to do apart from using windows for skype and that's a pain really Wildbat!
[02:26] <wildbat> owen1: it means it have it's own desktop ~ like RDP in wins~
[02:27] <wildbat> mulder__: may be you have better luck with wine _Skype  then skype for Linux , i have no idea. may be stop using skype there is ton of other chioces.
[02:28] <mulder__> well most of my contacts use Skype so I am kinda stuck!
[02:28] <Dean63> Please register your nickname on freenode to chat here. How do I do that????
[02:29] <rww> !register | Dean63
[02:29] <wildbat> mulder__: or VBOX +win +skype then , a bit overkill :>
[02:29] <Dean63> thanks
[02:30] <wildbat> mulder__: if cheese work then your skype should too, may be stick around see if anyone know any good video driver for it .
[02:30] <elthlan> mulder__: this may help you: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=505131
[02:30] <owen1> what is the deafult vnc server/client combo in ubunt
[02:31] <elthlan> mulder__: it has worked for me
[02:31] <mulder__> I am using a logitech Quickam/IM connect Elthan
[02:32] <elthlan> yes, but the script may help too
[02:32] <elthlan> as it is an issue with the lib skype uses
[02:32] <wildbat> won't harm to try ;)
[02:33] <elthlan> just paste this in Terminal: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
[02:33] <elthlan> and skype may run with the camera enabled
[02:33] <wildbat> owen1: default ? what you mean by it ? by default ubuntu don't have vnc installed.
[02:34] <adminewb> is it possible to customize a cpu control fid-vid table, taking effect at boot time, so as to avoid needing a custom configured kernel? certain options are not modularized in a stock kernel, creating a major nuisance for phc
[02:35] <bazhang> adminewb, phc being what?
[02:36] <exodus_ms> is there a way to start the terminal at login by using the "title" instead of Gnome-terminal in autostart applications?
[02:36] <mulder__> Elthlan: I get this in the terminal: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
[02:36] <mulder__> ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
[02:37] <elthlan> is Skype running?
[02:37] <elthlan> or is Cheesy running?
[02:38] <mulder__> nah
[02:38] <mulder__> None of them
[02:38] <wildbat> mulder__: do you even have that lib ? ls -al usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
[02:39] <mulder__> I get plkenty of GTK warning
[02:39] <mulder__> I can past the results for you guys if you want to have a look

[02:41] <HB> i need help reparing a ntfs windows disk... :/   Error reading $Mft record(s): Input/output error.  Remount failed: Input/output error.
[02:41] <bazhang> hb ##windows   , use windows tools for that
[02:42] <HB> i try but it was taking for ever!!!! 24hours and still was at 12%  ... also windows is impossible to use with that disk..
[02:43] <elthlan> hmm, so not just one error. which skype and ubuntu version do you use?
[02:43] <mulder__> skype <IP_ADDRESS> and ubuntu 10.10
[02:43] <mulder__> <IP_ADDRESS> sorry
[02:43] <bazhang> hb this is not the channel for fixing windows disks,
[02:45] <elthlan> sorry, i use the same version of Skype but fell back to 10.04 for stability on apps.
[02:45] <HB> thanks bazhang ....
[02:45] <disse> Problem: home dir encryption after installation, encryption pass 45 signs, sudo/user pass shouldn't be the same
[02:45] <exodus_ms> how can I add the terminal in "startup applications" by using the "title" instead of Gnome-terminal?
[02:45] <mulder__> I fell back from 11.04 to 10.10 for the same reasons :-)
[02:46] <mulder__> I couldn't boot into ubuntu at all with my ati card
[02:46] <w3bcrawler> is there a way to automatically run a certain command on logout? ie rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
[02:46] <em> Do any of you have expertise with Drupal?
[02:47] <bazhang> w3bcrawler, very bad idea to do it on logout
[02:47] <resc_user_3319> Problem: screwed inux partition, its no longer there grub failed, using rescatux 0.29 grub install failed http://paste.debian.net/125328/
[02:48] <w3bcrawler> bazhang: well i'm trying to have my x not save session but it does automatically even though the option is unchecked
[02:48] <w3bcrawler> i'm not sure what else to do
[02:49] <bazhang> w3bcrawler, thats odd
[02:50] <w3bcrawler> bazhang: yeah :|
[02:51] <owen1> i installed x11vnc on laptop1 and xvnc4viewer on the other. i forward port 9600 on my router into ip of laptop1. when i try to connect from laptop2 i get: "main:        unable to connect to host: No route to host (113)"
[02:51] <owen1> any ideas?
[02:52] <mulder__> ah well back to windows for skype...it's going to be fun!
[02:53] <resc_user_3319> PROBLEM: GRUB2 wont install using rescatux 0.29 log is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1819348
[02:54] <resc_user_3319> log actually is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1819348
[02:55] <wildbat> owen1: use ip instead and see
[02:55] <KM0201> mulder__: what probs are you having w/ linux skype?
[02:55] <ThePub> if I tell dpkg to "--force-all" shouldn't it bypass dependency checks?
[02:55] <mulder__> @KM0201: I can't have any video/picture/sound detected
[02:56] <mulder__> I can log in
[02:56] <wildbat> resc_user_3319: why not use ubuntu LiveCD to reinstall ?
[02:56] <KM0201> mulder__: ok, does your camera work in guvcview, or cheese?
[02:56] <w3bcrawler> bazhang: would it be alright to clear ~/.cache/sessions on startup?
[02:56] <mulder__> It works in Cheese yes
[02:56] <KM0201> ok.
[02:56] <bazhang> w3bcrawler, that would be the much preferred way, yes
[02:56] <KM0201> hang on a sec
[02:56] <mulder__> Ok KM
[02:57] <w3bcrawler> k ty :) gonna go lookup how to do that brb
[02:57] <resc_user_3319> wildbat: i cant get either an 11.04 live cd or usb to fully boot or install
[02:57] <nightcrawler99> hi everyone
[02:57] <wildbat> resc_user_3319: how you install your ubuntu then :>
[02:57] <goddard> I am trying to execute a file that i can see and modify but cannot execute it because it says it doesn't exist
[02:58] <bazhang> goddard, to accomplish what exactly
[02:58] <goddard> bazhang: huh?
[02:58] <owen1> wildbat: i think the problem was a password. trying again
[02:58] <rww> goddard: chmod +x file. If that doesn't work, check that it's the right architecture (32-bit vs. 64-bit)
[02:58] <goddard> bazhang: i have a file that exists but cant execute because it says it doesn't exist
[02:58] <owen1> wildbat: after i run 'x11vnc -storepasswd' it's not running anymore...not sure why
[02:58] <resc_user_3319> wildbat: i installed ubuntu alongside win7, accidently deleted linux partition from windows, now i cant get anything to fuly boot
[02:59] <goddard> rww: i believe those things are all correct
[02:59] <owen1> wildbat: it lets me type the password twice and than the program exits.
[02:59] <KM0201> mulder__: can i PM you?
[02:59] <goddard> rww: this is so strange
[02:59] <mulder__> Sure KM
[03:00] <anxiety> when im using wired internet I cant load any webpages in browsers or connect to msn facebook etc via pidgin, however I can connect to q3 engine based game servers fine, and pinging servers works fine. everything works fine using wireless. anyone have any ideas whats up with that?
[03:00] <wildbat> resc_user_3319: so you deleted a partition ?~ try undelete it ~ with testdisk . if not working pop in windows setup CD and fixmbr ,so you have atleast a windows to use . then figure out reinstall ubuntu later.
[03:02] <wildbat> owen1: if you use ssh tunnelling~ you don't need passworded vnc , vnc password is never been safe anyway .
[03:02] <Miram> Where do people normally extract and install tarballs in Ubuntu?
[03:02] <resc_user_3319> wildbat: ill try testdisk, but i will not have a win7 recovery disk for "8-10" business days
[03:02] <owen1> wildbat: even without a password it's not working. i give it an ip (without the port,right?)
[03:03] <Redb3ard> miram in terminal
[03:03] <Miram> Sorry, I mean to what directory, Redb3ard.
[03:04] <bazhang> Miram, what application
[03:04] <w3bcrawler> is the only way to add a command to bootup creating a perl script and dropping it in the /etc/init.d directory?
[03:04] <wildbat> owen1: on server : x11vnc -display :0 -many -localhost     then on client create a ssh tunnel 5900 to 5900 then just vncviewer localhost
[03:04] <Redb3ard> Miram, if you're installing a program it will usually create it's own directories
[03:04] <Miram> Some task-manager application, guys
[03:04] <owen1> wildbat: ok. trying
[03:04] <bazhang> Miram, whats the package name please
[03:04] <wildbat> owen1: if you just different port other then 5900 you have to tell it
[03:04] <Redb3ard> Miram, Trus baz, he knows what he's talking about
[03:05] <Miram> Oh sorry, Doit_for_linux_2_3_19_en.tar.gz
[03:05] <goddard> now one has ever had this problem?
[03:05] <owen1> wildbat: why localhost on the server/client
[03:06] <owen1> wildbat: also what do u mean by 'creat tunnel'?
[03:06] <Xptical> hi all, is there a channel for ubuntu servers?
[03:06] <owen1> Xptical: ubuntu-server
[03:06] <Xptical> thanks
[03:07] <wildbat> owen1: cause you tunnelled it,so anything connect on 5900 on client will go to ther server 5900 thr ssh . ssh -n -L 5900:localhost:5900 (so secure ) :>
[03:08] <nightcrawler99> i have a couple of questions about ubuntu
[03:08] <owen1> wildbat: i run this on the server: x11vnc -display :0 -many -localhost   what should i do on the client?
[03:08] <Redb3ard> that's what we're here for
[03:09] <owen1> wildbat: i appologize if u have to repeat yourself. i didn't understand you.
[03:09] <lilcyber> What are they nightcrawler99?
[03:09] <nightcrawler99> every time i restart my laptop i have to reconnect my wireless internet
[03:09] <nightcrawler99> how can i fix that
[03:09] <lilcyber> By that you mean what?
[03:10] <w3bcrawler> is the only way to add a command to bootup creating a script and dropping it in the /etc/init.d directory?
[03:10] <Redb3ard> imo, it sounds like a driver issue
[03:10] <th0r> nightcrawler99: if you want it to connect at bootup you need to configure the network in /etc/network/interfaces instead of using network-manager
[03:11] <anxiety> nightcrawler click on the wireless icon, go edit connections click wireless then auto (your router) edit connect automatically
[03:11] <nightcrawler99> ok let me try that
[03:12] <wildbat> owen1: ssh -n -L 5900:localhost:5900 <the server ip>
[03:12] <wildbat> owen1: then vncveiwer on localhost.
[03:13] <owen1> wildbat: awesome
[03:14] <nightcrawler99> also whats a good p2p for ubuntu like mp3 rocket
[03:14] <bazhang> !p2p > nightcrawler99
[03:16] <SexyBoBo> Ok installed nvidia drivers and now it is telling me "Driver active but not currently in use"
[03:16] <anxiety> sexybobo did you install it through restricted driver manager? if so have you restarted?
[03:16] <SexyBoBo> Yes and Yes
[03:17] <anxiety> what do you get back from lsmod | grep nvidia ?
[03:18] <anxiety> sexybobo what do you get back from lsmod | grep nvidia ?
[03:19] <SexyBoBo> bobo@GLaDOS:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia
[03:19] <SexyBoBo> nvidia              10709116  72
[03:19] <anxiety> ok
[03:19] <owen1> wildbat: when i try to nunnel from the client i get: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
[03:19] <owen1> ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: No route to host
[03:20] <anxiety> sexybobo, what about cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:20] <Redb3ard> anxiety,  please use pm
[03:20] <wildbat> owen1: your server isn't installed ssh-server?
[03:20] <Pat201> what does it mean when terminal tells me to run something as root
[03:20] <bazhang> Redb3ard, ?
[03:20] <bazhang> Pat201, use sudo
[03:20] <Redb3ard> bazhang, ?
[03:21] <theadmin> Redb3ard: sudo COMMAND
[03:21] <bazhang> Redb3ard, no need to use PM here
[03:21] <theadmin> Redb3ard: Example: sudo rmmod wl
[03:21] <SexyBoBo> Section "Device"	Identifier	"Default Device"	Option	"NoLogo"	"True" EndSection
[03:22] <wrtiii> Is there a command to give me the actually hdd size?
[03:22] <wildbat> wrtiii: sudo fdisk -l
[03:22] <anxiety> ok sexybobo, that file is missing information :S
[03:22] <theadmin> Redb3ard: You can as well run "sudo -i" to get the root shell
[03:22] <w3bcrawler> is the only way to add a command to bootup creating a script and dropping it in the /etc/init.d directory?
[03:23] <lilcyber> yes
[03:23] <Redb3ard> theadmin, oooh.. but i need to leave root
[03:23] <theadmin> Redb3ard: "exit", then.
[03:23] <javier> hello, i just got natty installed, one problem. the monitor comes up as a samsung 72 inch. my tv is is 60. how do i change it
[03:23] <lilcyber> sudo nano /etc/init.d
[03:23] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: Not really, you can as well add it to root's crontab @reboot (but that doesn't always work out)
[03:23] <Redb3ard> theadmin, but it logs in as root by default
[03:23] <lilcyber> w3bcrawler
[03:23] <theadmin> Redb3ard: That's nonsense and won't happen in Ubuntu.
[03:24] <lilcyber> did I answer your question?
[03:24] <Redb3ard> theadmin, i think our wires are crossed. i'm sorry
[03:24] <wrtiii> Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table ???
[03:24] <anxiety> sexybobo, can you run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[03:24] <w3bcrawler> lilcyber yes, but isn't init.d a directory
[03:24] <wrtiii> Disk /dev/dm-0: 151.3 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>16 bytes
[03:24] <theadmin> Redb3ard: You can't log in as root in Ubuntu because there IS NO ROOT PASSWORD.
[03:24] <anxiety> sexybobo, then run cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and post back here
[03:24] <theadmin> Redb3ard: What does "echo $USER" give you?
[03:24] <owen1> wildbat: got it. i need to install both client and sever vnc on the SERVER!
[03:24] <owen1> wildbat: let me try again
[03:25] <Redb3ard> my username
[03:25] <SexyBoBo> the nvidia-xconfig gives me this error VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.                 Device section "Default Device" must have a Driver line.
[03:25] <lilcyber> Well you can sud mv whatever /etc/init.d
[03:25] <lilcyber> *sudo
[03:25] <resc_user_3319> wildbat: testdisk was unable to undelete the partition,  is there some other way of reinstaling grub2 before getting a win7 disk and starting al over?
[03:26] <w3bcrawler> lilcyber, theadmin: basically i'm trying to clear the ~/.cache/sessions directory on bootup so my sessions will stop saving (yes, the option to save sessions on logout is unchecked)
[03:26] <anxiety> sexybobo, weird its meant to write that line :S
[03:26] <w3bcrawler> and trying to find the easiest way to do so
[03:26] <SexyBoBo> xorg.conf is now http://paste.ubuntu.com/660228/
[03:27] <anxiety> sexybobo oh yup that looks good, hit alt+prtscreen+k now
[03:27] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: this line will do, in /etc/crontab: @reboot rm -r ~/.cache/sessions/*
[03:27] <anxiety> sexybobo, that'l restart your xserver and hopefully load the nvidia driver
[03:27] <lilcyber> Well can you cd into it and purge those files?
[03:27] <adzy> anyone know why i get key ring password prompts 3 times everytime i load ubuntu??? cant i set it up to just enter one password>
[03:27] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: Err, wrong
[03:27] <adzy> ?
[03:27] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: Not ~, rather /home/your-username
[03:27] <wildbat> resc_user_3319: you have to have LiveCD, then make the partition (maybe /boot is needed in case of dual boot), then install grub
[03:28] <w3bcrawler> theadmin: so @reboot rm -r /home/myusername/.cache/sessions/*
[03:28] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: Pretty much so
[03:28] <w3bcrawler> appended to the end of /etc/contab
[03:28] <adzy> !keyring password
[03:28] <w3bcrawler> crontab*
[03:28] <xangua> adzy: automatic log in enabled¿
[03:28] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: Yeah, it'll execute the command at start of anacrond
[03:29] <adzy> xangua, in users?
[03:29] <w3bcrawler> theadmin: excellent, thank you, i'm gonna give that a shot. <3
[03:29] <bobo> Still says driver not active
[03:29] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: xD
[03:29] <wildbat> resc_user_3319: or you can have your bootCD's grub to chainload windows up ~then execute fixmbr or bootsect to fix booting of windows.
[03:29] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: No problem.
[03:29] <WXZ> how come gparted can't create a logical ntfs partition?
[03:30] <adzy> where do i change automatic log in?
[03:30] <lilcyber> adzy login screen I presume
[03:30] <WXZ> within an extended partition
[03:30] <theadmin> WXZ: Sure you have ntfsprogs installed?
[03:30] <anxiety> sexybobo, can you type sudo apt-get install mesa-utils, then glxgears, it'll test whether you have 3d accelleration from the nvidia driver or not
[03:30] <adzy> lilcyber, I dont have a log ing screen it just auto log ins
[03:30] <owen1> wildbat: something weird happens after i tunnel. i see greeting that tells me i am on the server, but the prompt is showing the client username, and it actually not on the server. is that normal?
[03:31] <xangua> adzy: on user & group preferences
[03:31] <WXZ> theadmin: no, I don't... I have ntfs-3g. I thought that was enough
[03:31] <adzy> found it
[03:31] <seclm193> how would i auto mount my ntfs partition in natty?
[03:31] <adzy> ;)
[03:31] <WXZ> theadmin: fixing now
[03:31] <wildbat> owen1: oh ~ drop then -n option (i copy directly from my script ;p)
[03:31] <owen1> wildbat: ok
[03:31] <resc_user_3319> wildbat: how do i get my live cd's grub to chainload.  thanks for the help
[03:31] <nightcrawler99> is their a ctrl alt del for ubuntu that stops programs?
[03:32] <javier> anyine know how i can change the monitor from 70 inch to 65 inch
[03:32] <goku87> how can i sync an htc evo with ubuntu?
[03:32] <theadmin> seclm193: In /etc/crontab, "/dev/sdz1 /media/ntfs ntfs-3g defaults"
[03:32] <wildbat> resc_user_3319: you have LIVECD? boot it and  hold shift you should see grub menu
[03:32] <theadmin> seclm193: Err
[03:32] <theadmin> seclm193: /etc/fstab
[03:32] <theadmin> seclm193: Apologies for that, messing stuff up
[03:32] <nightcrawler99> no live cd
[03:33] <xangua> goku87: sync what exactyl¿ an android device normaly Syncs with your google account & services
[03:33] <seclm193> theadmin: it's ok, so i just edit my /etc/fstab and add the device location and mount locaton
[03:33] <princej88> nightcrawler99, try xkill -all in terminal. your cursor will turn into an 'x' and then you can just click on the program that you want to close
[03:33] <goku87> yea but im trying to sync the music playlists and all that..also trying to back it up
[03:34] <nightcrawler99> ok
[03:34] <resc_user_3319> wildbat:when i boot ubuntu 11.04 live and shift i get run live, install, memtest etc.  how to i get to grub
[03:34] <goku87> i have a macbook and htc's are not compatible with os x
[03:34] <seclm193> theadmin: i guess my main question, do i just add that to the end of the file?
[03:34] <anxiety> or better idea sexybobo, once you've got that package installed, just run glxinfo what do you get back?
[03:34] <WarOp> Does anyone know a good program to rip a Dvd to iso image, trying to rip Backtrack4 dvd to harddrive, I've tried dvdrip but seems like its only for video dvds
[03:34] <SexyBoBo> 34167 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6833.385 FPS guessing the driver is just lying to me
[03:34] <bitplane> there's a command line app "quote", but it doesn't show up in "which quote" any idea how i find out what/where it is?
[03:34] <owen1> wildbat: i get: vncviewer: unable to open display ""
[03:35] <owen1> wildbat: btw, my server is running with awesome wm. no gnome/kde/xfce
[03:35] <anxiety> warop ubuntu has a built in cd copying program, use that but tell it to write to file instead of another disk
[03:35] <wildbat> resc_user_3319: it is grub :> ~ you can press c to drop to grub prompt
[03:35] <nightcrawler99> thanks for the help everyone
[03:35] <WarOp> Is it k3b
[03:35] <seclm193> theadmin: how do i fine what partition is the ntfs partition
[03:35] <resc_user_3319> wildbat; thanks
[03:35] <csdserver> sudo fdisk -l
[03:36] <csdserver> @ seclm193
[03:36] <WarOp> I'll check out my burners and see if they have a option for that
[03:36] <WarOp> main one i use is k3b
[03:36] <WarOp> Thanks anxiety
[03:36] <wildbat> owen1:  it shouldn't have anything to do with WM ~
[03:37] <seclm193> csdserver: thx
[03:37] <SexyBoBo> anxiety, The glxinfo gives me a whole lot of stuff but keeps mentioning nvidia and the glxgears was giving me 6833 fps i am guessing the additional driver app is just incorrect
[03:37] <anastasis> Does anyone know a room where I can get help with SSH. I am trying to setup SSH between an Ubuntu 11.04 laptop to a Slackware <IP_ADDRESS>.
[03:37] <anastasis> No one is in any of the rooms
[03:37] <anxiety> sexybobo, yea it seems like everythings working
[03:37] <goku87> how do i turn on the launcher menu?
[03:37] <wildbat> resc_user_3319: you know how to chainload from here,right or you need a walkthru?
[03:38] <KingFisher> Hello...I am using Ubuntu on an Asus Netbook.
[03:38] <SexyBoBo> TY for your help that mesa tool package looks like it will be helpful in diagnosing future problems
[03:38] <seclm193> csdserver: after changing fstab, do i need to do something to enact the changes
[03:38] <anxiety> sexybobo, yea it can be quite useful :)
[03:38] <anastasis> Does anyone know a room where I can get help with SSH. I am trying to setup SSH between an Ubuntu 11.04 laptop to a Slackware <IP_ADDRESS>.
[03:39] <w3bcrawler> theadmin: it's still saving the session :O
[03:39] <wrtiii> I am going to add a 2nd 160gb hdd to my server to be used for keeping a current clone of the 1st disk.  Is there anything I should be aware of before shutting down and installing the new disk.  Does it work more or less like "plug and play" or will I have to do some fancy linux stuff to get it setup?
[03:39] <anxiety> when im using wired internet I cant load any webpages in browsers or connect to msn facebook etc via pidgin, however I can connect to q3 engine based game servers fine, and pinging servers works fine. everything works fine using wireless. anyone have any how i can get wired to work properly?
[03:39] <owen1> wildbat: in the vnc log i see: The VNC desktop is: localhost:1  PORT=5901
[03:40] <owen1> wildbat: not sure why it's 5901
[03:40] <javier> downloaded ati catalyst, and the desktop is too big still. can't see the cairo dock or the menu bar. how do i resize
[03:40] <WarOp> anxiety: Figured it out, the way you told me Thanks didnt know burners could do that :)
[03:40] <aroman> javier: have you opened up the Monitors app and changed the resolution?
[03:40] <KingFisher> when I boot up on my Netbook using Ubuntu I get generic messages like "Problem on page table 1" and some stuff about the battery.
[03:41] <anxiety> np warop :)
[03:41] <KingFisher> I am having battery issues on my Ubuntu netbook and I cant use the netbook with the battery anymore
[03:41] <KingFisher> Is this something inherent wrong with my software/battery
[03:41] <javier> resolution is correct at 1920x1080. its the size is too big
[03:41] <wildbat> owen1: you start the vnc twice may be . killall x11vnc
[03:41] <KingFisher> or is it something I can fix  with a fresh install
[03:41] <aroman> javier: "the size"?
[03:41] <anastasis> KingFisher: lookup power regression issue with Ubuntu...although your problem sounds serious
[03:42] <javier> it was recognized as a 72 inch display, its really a 65 inch
[03:42] <KingFisher> Thanks for pointing me in the right direction anastasis
[03:43] <joint2k> does ubuntu need a boot partition?
[03:43] <rww> joint2k: no
[03:43] <aroman> joint2k: not a discrete one, no.
[03:43] <csdserver> sorry seclm193  - i'm not sure what you were trying to do
[03:43] <seclm193> csdserver: auto mount ntfs partitions
[03:44] <joint2k> why not?
[03:44] <Redb3ard> every time i boot up my computer (with reFit) it still loads the grub bootloader and i have to select ubuntu again.. any way to stop this?
[03:44] <javier> dropped resolution to 1776x1000, and its a little too small. my windows 7 on the same machine uses 1920x1080 and i can see the whole desktop
[03:45] <vanquish349> i think my brother has put some software on my computer that lets him take control of my computer is there a way to check it and possibly remove it
[03:45] <javier> whats the best way to correct?
[03:45] <csdserver> just chown the directory's mount point, create the directory if you haven't, and reboot. who was helping you before?
[03:45] <Redb3ard> javier, i have the same problem. i run mine at 1920x1080 and the loss is really frustrating
[03:46] <Romin> Hi guys. I have g++ installed and trying to compile a simple c++ program, yet the terminal acts as if I do not have g++.
[03:46] <Romin> Can anybody help?
[03:46] <vanquish349> what is zeitgeist
[03:46] <Romin> Running ubuntu 11.04.
[03:46] <theadmin> Romin: Is g++ in your $PATH?
[03:46] <aroman> Romin: "it acts like it"?
[03:46] <javier> is there a config or something that can be change to like 1900x1060
[03:46] <owen1> wildbat: you were right. now it's running on 5900 and localhost:0. i still get the same message: vncviewer: unable to open display ""
[03:46] <owen1> wildbat: is there any log i can tail?
[03:46] <aroman> vanquish349: an software program that tracks your activity
[03:46] <rww> vanquish349: a program included in Ubuntu that keeps track of which files and programs are used and uses that information when you're searching for things in Unity.
[03:46] <aroman> vanquish349: not for malicious purposes though
[03:46] <vanquish349> ok
[03:47] <Redb3ard> aroman, yet lol
[03:47] <aroman> Redb3ard: :P
[03:47] <javier> is there a known issue with using ubuntu on widescreen tvs
[03:47] <csdserver> they look awesome?
[03:47] <wildbat> owen1: you start the vncveiwer from client not inside the ssh ~
[03:47] <Romin> theadmin: how can I check?
[03:47] <owen1> wildbat: oh
[03:47] <theadmin> Romin: Well, how did you install g++?
[03:48] <Redb3ard> Javier,, i don't know. i absolutely love mu ubuntu gui on my big screen but not being able to see the window ctrls at the top and bottoms of the screen is freustrating
[03:48] <Romin> sudo apt-get install g++
[03:48] <owen1> wildbat: works! thank you
[03:48] <theadmin> Romin: Well that's odd then
[03:49] <wildbat> owen1: ^^
[03:49] <theadmin> Romin: Try "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[03:49] <Romin> Yes, I already installed that as well
[03:49] <aroman> theadmin: maybe he's running into trouble since g++ needs to be escaped?
[03:49] <aroman> the command I mean
[03:49] <theadmin> aroman: + is not a special character in Bash
[03:49] <aroman> it isn't?
[03:49] <rww> nope
[03:49] <aroman> O.o
[03:49] <javier> agreed. thats why i am looking for a config file or some other way to change the monitor size. before i installed ati the system said the display was a 72 inch tv. its not and that is what i believe is causing the issue
[03:49] <Romin> build-essential is already the newest version.
[03:50] <anxiety> romin, what do you get back at the command line if you type g++ --help ?
[03:50] <aroman> Oh I just learned something new about bash. I didn't realize you could escape ANY character. (i.e /s/u/d/o)
[03:50] <theadmin> aroman: The following are: | & ; ( ) < > space tab || && ;; | newline ! case do done elif else esac fi for function if in select then until while {} time [[ ]]
[03:50] <Romin> The same message I get when I try to compile a .cpp: The program 'g++' can be found in the following packages: *g++ *pentium-builder
[03:51] <aroman> Romin: sudo dpkg -s g++ ?
[03:51] <wildbat> owen1:  ssh and vnc are the best remote tools ^^ ~you don't even have to start vnc-server from server, you can start x11vnc from the ssh then just connect with vncviewer :>
[03:51] <Redb3ard> theadmin, they are what?
[03:51] <aroman> Romin: s`udo dpkg -s g++ | grep -i status` would be what
[03:51] <aroman> Redb3ard: characters that need escaping in BASH
[03:51] <Romin> http://pastebin.com/rbNLPR5n
[03:52] <theadmin> aroman: Bash special words / operators, yeah
[03:52] <aroman> Romin: that's really odd
[03:52] <Redb3ard> i'm sorry, what is escaping?
[03:52] <aroman> Redb3ard: basically just a way of telling something that you mean to use the non-special form of the character.
[03:52] <aroman> because those characters mean special things to bash
[03:52] <Redb3ard> gotcha
[03:53] <Romin> I had the same problem for gcc and somebody resolved my problem. The person fixed my gcc problem with this command:  sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.5 /usr/bin/gcc
[03:53] <aroman> Romin: O.o it's doubly strange that you've had this issue before
[03:53] <anxiety> have you tried: sudo rm /usr/bin/g++ && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.5 /usr/bin/g++ then?
[03:54] <Romin> I actually just transitioned from windows to linux.
[03:54] <endip> Since network manager isn't working right, I had to manually set up my network configuration. Now Ubuntu Software Center doesn't think I'm connected to a network and wont download reviews, or screenshots. It installs software find though. Any thoughts on how I can fix this issue?
[03:54] <aroman> Romin: that command should work identically if you replace gcc with g++
[03:54] <Romin> Ah, okay I will try anxiety and aroman.
[03:54] <aroman> anxiety: ah you beat me too it :P
[03:54] <vanquish349> what is dconf-tools
[03:54] <anxiety> haha soz aroman :D
[03:55] <aroman> vanquish349: some software for viewing/editing dconf settings
[03:55] <theadmin> vanquish349: dconf is a configuration mechanism in Gnome3, replacement of outdated gconf.
[03:55] <vanquish349> ok
[03:55] <vanquish349> my computer just got shutdown is there a way i could see what software he is using to do it
[03:56] <aroman> vanquish349: honestly, it seems most likely that he just SSH'd into your bo
[03:56] <aroman> box*
[03:56] <vanquish349> is there a way to stop it
[03:56] <aroman> vanquish349: change your passwords? or `sudo apt-get remove openssh-server` to remove the software
[03:57] <aroman> assuming that's how he's doing it.
[03:58] <Redb3ard> would port forwarding prevent him from being able to get in?
[03:59] <javier> any help with changing the size of the display (not resolution)?
[03:59] <rww> vanquish349: run "sudo ufw enable", then "sudo ufw status". If you see anything other than "Status: active" in response to the second command, pastebin it.
[03:59] <JZApples> When adding the partition that my OS is installed on in fstab should I just use defaults for the options?
[03:59] <Romin> Thanks guys, it worked. (Well, I am not getting the error anymore, atleast)
[04:00] <vanquish349> rww: nothing else
[04:00] <aroman> Romin: symlinking?
[04:00] <rww> vanquish349: you should be good to go, then
[04:00] <Roasted> Anybody know how to set deja dup so it runs every day, but once a week it does a FULL Backup?
[04:00] <aroman> Redb3ard: I assumed this was on LAN
[04:00] <vanquish349> rww: he can still get on
[04:01] <Redb3ard> aroman, that makes more sense
[04:02] <theadmin> JZApples: Most of the time that's just fine
[04:02] <Romin> Well I am testing simple file input. main.cpp:14:14: error: variable ‘std::ifstream ifs’ has initializer but incomplete type. Also main.cpp:20:9: error: ‘exit’ was not declared in this scope.
[04:02] <Romin> http://pastebin.com/TiqJCzis
[04:03] <theadmin> Romin: wtf is exit()? C++ doesn't have that
[04:03] <theadmin> Romin: just "return 1;"
[04:03] <aroman> Romin: I'm not a c++ guy, but don't you mean `return`?
[04:03] <Romin> main is of type int, so I need to return an int.
[04:03] <aroman> Romin: that's definitely valid Python syntax though xD
[04:03] <Romin> Hmm theadmin, I'll try.
[04:03] <aroman> Romin: we're talking about the method, not the datatype.
[04:04] <w3bcrawler> perl vs python for sysadmin ; does it all come down to preference?
[04:04] <aroman> w3bcrawler: very very offtopic.
[04:04] <theadmin> w3bcrawler: Mostly, Perl is ugly though
[04:04] <Redb3ard> webcrawler, echo theadmin
[04:05] <w3bcrawler> how is sysadmin offtopic?
[04:05] <aroman> you're talking about choices in programming languages
[04:05] <aroman> this is about support for Ubuntu :P
[04:05] <Redb3ard> lol
[04:05] <Redb3ard> come on
[04:05]  * theadmin is a Ruby fan
[04:06] <Redb3ard> he wasn't preventing anone being helped :D
[04:06] <Romin> Ah, I see what you are talking about. I've used exit before in visual studio with no problem.
[04:06] <aroman> yeah I was being a bit overzelous
[04:06] <w3bcrawler> so technically, it's offtopic for #perl, #python, and #ubuntu
[04:06] <Romin> But yes, that gets rid of that last error.
[04:06]  * Redb3ard 's lass wears a Python
[04:06] <Romin> The first one remains.
[04:07] <aroman> w3bcrawler: yeah i didn't mean to be rude, I was just trying to avoid a flamewar xD
[04:07] <w3bcrawler> haha no its' cool it's just weird how it works :P cuz of the weird mix of py/pl/nix
[04:07] <JZApples> When adding the partition that my OS is installed on in fstab should I just use defaults for the options?
[04:07] <Redb3ard> is there an official offtopic-offtopic?
[04:07] <w3bcrawler> #ubuntu-offtopic-offtopic?
[04:08] <Redb3ard> #lo
[04:08] <w3bcrawler> g'night peepz, thanks for your help today!
[04:10] <wildbat> JZApples: if it is / , you'd better use errors=remount-ro
[04:10] <csdserver> anyone have a clue whats going on in this output: http://pastebin.com/LHbEgqmj     (xhost + added, ssh -X session)
[04:12] <csdserver> the folder in question is a mounted ext4 partition
[04:12] <JZApples> wildbat, should / be the mountpoint?  how do I know what that should be for sure.  That's what I was going to put, but now I"m questioning it.  I'm new to modifying fstab and want to make sure i do it right
[04:14] <Renierius> Alright, hey people, got somewhat of a newb question here but.. I keep getting "PHP [2] mkdir(): No such file or directory", I'm trying to configure a website, was referring the installer to /var/www as the directory for the FTP. Do you guys see any clues to what I might be doing wrong? Am I handing out the wrong directory?
[04:14] <wildbat> JZApples: if you ls it , / hould have etc bin usr dev boot lib sbin proc var ......
[04:16] <JZApples> wildbat, it does.  Thanks a lot man.  I hope you're around if I ask more questions.  I've been trying to do this for days and am really nervous.  Read like 10 articles on it, but still kind of sweating.
[04:16] <csdserver> renierius - is the directory created and do you have permission to read/write?
[04:16] <javier> am i stuck with only changing the resolution or can i change the monitor size somehow?
[04:17] <T0X|C> anyone use wbar with ubuntu? It looks awesome. I installed it but when I run it via terminal it says "Using Super bar" but I don't see anything
[04:17] <Dulak> Renierius: /var/www is owned by root by default afaik, you probably want to create a new document root under /var/www, and chown that new dir to the user you are ftping as.
[04:17] <Renierius> The directory exists, yes, and I had assumed that I did have these permissions.. do you suggest trying to chown the directory?
[04:17] <Renierius> Ah, yes, thank you for the pointer!
[04:17] <em> Does anyone here enjoy making websites or working with drupal?
[04:18] <Renierius> Going to try that.
[04:18] <wildbat> JZApples: lol ~ what you are trying to do messing about?
[04:18] <Dulak> I don't think anybody *enjoys* working with drupal...
[04:20] <wrtiii> Ok, So I just added a new hdd to my system. Start machine and boots to black screen and hangs, reboot and boots to grub loader and sits there until I press enter.  boots to login. I am able to login with my creditentials but nowI attempt to do anything such as sudo or even shutdown it returns -bash: sudo: command not found.  Rebooted the system and It took 3 more reboots to get it to load again
[04:20] <wrtiii> to the grub loader but machine will not fully startup as it did before the new hdd.
[04:20] <IAmNotThatGuy> Dulak, It depends. Some peeps really enjoy working with drupal as the security is good with it
[04:20] <JZApples> wildbat, Shouldn't all my drives be listed in this file?  Everywhere I've read it says they should.  ATM, I only have swap and floppy in there.
[04:20] <zelda> can someone assist me in getting my HDMI working?
[04:20] <aroman> JZApples: in where?
[04:20] <zelda> lspci doesnt detect it.
[04:20] <Dulak> IAmNotThatGuy: Really?  They get a LOT of security alerts for something 'good with security' imo.
[04:20] <wildbat> JZApples: it should really .... new install?
[04:21] <JZApples> aroman, fstab
[04:21] <aroman> JZApples: yeah it doesn't have everything
[04:21] <IAmNotThatGuy> Dulak, I am not into site designing these days. but in the past, it ws okay, when compared with others. dunno now :P
[04:21] <aroman> JZApples: some stuff is handled by GIO and is out of there
[04:21] <JZApples> wildbat, new install and I've made massive changes with all my drives since then.
[04:22] <Renierius> Dulak, I chown'd the directory now, but it's still giving off the same error, what's it you meant with "create a new document root"?
[04:22] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, try creating another account and try
[04:22] <JZApples> aroman, but won't it run better with everything in there?  I don't know, only been working with Ubuntu 11.04 for a few weeks.
[04:23] <aroman> JZApples: well, you're basically talking about the difference between mounting statically at boot and mounting dynamically with nautilus or whatever
[04:23] <aroman> so if those drives *never* change, sure, use fstab
[04:23] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: creating another account.. ?
[04:23] <Dulak> Renierius: your web server has to point to a document root directory as the root of the website,  that is the dir you need to be working with, and should be owned by the same user you are ftping as, usually
[04:23] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, another user*
[04:24] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: what is that going to do? and even so how would I do that when anything I type tells me command not found ?  All I did was shutdown the system, plug in a new sata drive and turn the system back on..  ?
[04:25] <wrtiii> Is there some procedure in installing a new hdd I am missing for linux?
[04:25] <JZApples> aroman, well this is my file server with two different RAID setups connected.  I want to make sure it mounts properly and sets up the shares if I need to reboot.  But if it just automatically does that and editing this file is pointless then I won't.
[04:25] <aroman> JZApples: seeing as you want to use it as a fileserver i'd say go with fstab
[04:25] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, try without sudo to chmod and other actions
[04:25] <aroman> if we were talking about external HDs I'd say leave it alone
[04:26] <IAmNotThatGuy> I think you are in as a root aaccount
[04:26] <Renierius> Dulak: Well.. wouldn't that be /var/www right now then? I'm working out of that one and I just chown'd it, but it didn't seem to change anything.
[04:26] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: I cannot even use shutdown or reboot commands
[04:26] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, what version are you using?
[04:27] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: and no it's logging me in as my created user. becuase I tried to sudo to root and it gave me the command not found thng
[04:27] <wrtiii> 11.04 Server
[04:27] <Dulak> Renierius: that depends on your web server config.  None of my websites use /var/www as a docroot.  I tend to do something like /var/www/domain.com as the docroot, with that folder owned by the user.  I have no idea how you are configured.
[04:29] <fizy[laptop]> im trying to ssh from my laptop to my desktop, but my laptop is saying that either its a man in the middle attack, or the host key has changed. i know for a fact that its not an attack. if i sudo it however, it works fine. is there any way to force ssh to re-key my desktop?
[04:29] <Flannel> Renierius: /var/www is the default document root, yes.  www-data is the user that apcahe runs as, so in order to serve anything, it needs to be readable by www-data (and, if PHP is creating files, writable too).  FTP is entirely different, but you still need to make sure you have the proper permissions to write there as your FTP user.
[04:30] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: I just removed the shutdown removed the hdd and rebooted with the original config and now it boots to a grub loader screen and just sits there...
[04:30] <Renierius> Alright, I'll give that a try, thank you, Dulak.
[04:30] <Flannel> fizy[laptop]: The better way would be to just get your laptop to accept the new key as valid
[04:30] <Dulak> fizy[laptop]: edit ~/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the line that has the key for the host you are having issues with, it should readd next time you connect with the current key
[04:30] <fizy[laptop]> Flannel: how would i do that?
[04:31] <wildbat> fizy[laptop]: coz your IP changed ~ remove the file in ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[04:31] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, you have a liveCD?
[04:31] <fizy[laptop]> Dulak: there are many lines. how do i know which one to remove?
[04:31] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, I Have no Idea why you removed shutdown :[
[04:31] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: one of these usb sticks around here should be but who knows which one :P
[04:31] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, lol :P
[04:32] <wrtiii> removed shutdown...
[04:32] <wrtiii> oh lol
[04:32] <Dulak> fizy[laptop]: the hostname is usually the last thing on the line
[04:32] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, you upgraded the OS?
[04:32] <wrtiii> the grub loader is giving me an option for recovery mode already
[04:32] <JZApples> In fstab, what is the proc line for?
[04:33] <fizy[laptop]> Dulak: nope. its just gibberish
[04:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, you upgraded the OS?
[04:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, if so, then http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1744522
[04:33] <wrtiii> ok
[04:33] <wrtiii> will look now
[04:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> coz he re-installed. he got the same issue maybe
[04:33] <aroman> JZApples: not to sound RTFM, but `man fstab`
[04:33] <wrtiii> How the hell does connecting a single sata hdd cause this much trouble?
[04:34] <vanquish349> there is someone taking control of my computer(i think it is my brother). i have tried a few things to stop it but no luck would anyone be able to help me sort it ou
[04:34] <vanquish349> out*
[04:34] <Dulak> fizy[laptop]: then delete them all, you'll have to ok whenever you connect again but it's a small price to pay.  Also, it's at the end of the line, and the hostname is always there, unless you force it not to be when you create a key.  You would have to go out of your way for it not to be there.
[04:34] <aroman> vanquish349: hold on, why don't you just talk to your brother about it?
[04:34] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: How is that forum post helpful?
[04:35] <JZApples> aroman, thanks dawg
[04:35] <vanquish349> aroman: because i did and he hit me
[04:35] <JZApples> aroman, RTFM?
[04:35] <aroman> JZApples: "read the fine manual" except fine is usually another four letter word beginning with F :P
[04:35] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, if you have upgraded, someone already had the same problem. try sudo -i and see whether it wirks. Or else have to report
[04:35] <JZApples> aroman, rofl
[04:36] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: It's not just sudo though. It is shutdown, restart, fdisk, df, ifconfig and every other command I can think of with the exception of logout
[04:36] <IAmNotThatGuy> OMG
[04:37] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: How can connecting a single hdd booting, then removing it and rebooting cause such a problem.. The system was working 100% before this
[04:37] <needhelp1> using rsync, sent 312251 bytes  received 2451 bytes  629404.00 bytes/sec
[04:37] <needhelp1> total size is<PHONE_NUMBER>7  speedup is 222585.88 (DRY RUN)
[04:37] <needhelp1>   ... looks like im not receiving all that im sending
[04:38] <fizy[laptop]> Dulak: ill pm you one of the keys. im not sure what that key goes to, but odds are it goes to one of the many jailbroken itouches i sshed into when i was bored during school
[04:38] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, I believe that is not the real issue
[04:39] <wrtiii> Iamnotthatguy: So what are you think is the issue then?
[04:39] <IAmNotThatGuy> wrtiii, PMZ
[04:39] <wrtiii> k
[04:39] <Dulak> fizy[laptop]: you can delete every line in that file and start from scratch.  It'll just prompt you to readd the keys whenever you reconnect.   Im concerned about lossless media and images, not sure if rsync is safe with those types of files
[04:41] <Dulak> ignore-existing is not a good idea, unless you know what you're doing.  It only uses the filename to compare, rather than byte-to-byte.  You won't get changed files with it.
[04:41] <vanquish349> so can someone help me
[04:41] <needhelp1> Dulak, ah, i'll remove it
[04:41] <needhelp1> my prior post, why does it say im sending much more than im receiving ?
[04:41] <needhelp1> i dont get that
[04:42] <Dulak> needhelp1: It uses deltas to compare changes,  the deltas are counted in your transfer, even if they only confirm there was no change that needed to be transferred
[04:43] <JZApples> When man says something like "see mount(8)" what does that mean?  man mount(8)?
[04:43] <llutz__> JZApples: man 8 mount
[04:43] <llutz__> JZApples: man man          for an explanation
[04:44] <Renierius> Dulak, when I try that I get this message: http://pastebin.com/j6Mg1waK
[04:44] <mmcji> How are ubuntu package versions related to the orignal package?  example, how do I find out what version of amanda is currently in the software channel when the ubuntu package number is Version: 1:3.2.1-1.  Is is most likely amanda 2.6x, but how do I find out?
[04:44] <Renierius> What could I be forgetting, Dulak?
[04:44] <JZApples> llutz__, thanks man.
[04:45] <Dulak> Renierius: Umm, I just loaded your install.php just fine from here
[04:46] <Renierius> Dulak: I can do that as well, but within the actual installation process something isn't working out.
[04:46] <needhelp1> Dulak, safe for loseless file formats ?
[04:47] <Dulak> needhelp1: I don't understand the question
[04:48] <Dulak> Renierius: not sure what the issue is, have a look at your error_log or error.log for your web server
[04:48] <oscalation> i think hes asking if rsync is safe to use with loseless file formats
[04:48] <oscalation> Dulak,
[04:48] <Renierius> Alright, I will, thanks.
[04:48] <rypervenche> mmcji: Check the source website.
[04:48] <thune3> mmcji: i think it is the obvious 3.2.1 http://www.amanda.org/download.php
[04:49] <Dulak> Renierius: rsync works fine for any file format, if that was the question.  It is just the one option you were passing that wasn't a good idea unless you understood what it was doing and wanted that behavior.
[04:51] <Renierius> Dulak: Wait, what..? I'm sorry, but you kind of lost me there, mate..
[04:51] <javier> ok. I really don't want to drop my resolution below 1920 x 1080. But I can't see the edges of the desktop on my tv. Can anyone help me?
[04:52] <mmcji> thune: but how do you know?  Ubuntu does not always have the latest packages.
[04:52] <Dulak> Renierius: that was meant for someone else sorry
[04:53] <mmcji> you are probably correct, but i would like to know how to verify specifically what version I am installing.
[04:53] <thune3> mmcji: you can see the changelog tracks the upstream versions, with ubuntu sometimes patching in the -# level: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/a/amanda/amanda_3.2.1-1/changelog
[04:53] <Renierius> Dulak: Ah, hence.. was wondering about such already.
[04:53] <mmcji> cool!!!!
[04:53] <Flannel> mmcji: You can look at packages.ubuntu.com, or if you want to know through your computer, you can do 'apt-cache policy packagename' and that'll tell you what you have currently (if installed) and what you'd upgrade to if you upgraded the package
[04:54] <mmcji> thune3: Thanks
[04:54] <mmcji> Flannel: Thanks
[04:55] <zelda> Is someone willing to help me get my hdmi working? lspci doesnt see it and aplay -l doesnt either. Its an IntelHDA card.
[04:55] <zelda> I have tried the forums and nothing.
[04:56] <braxton> I'm having problems with my computer not recognizing an 8gb SD card in its built-in reader with Ubuntu 10.04 and an HP Pavilion dv7-45dx. It will open nautilus for a split-second and then it will instantly close.
[04:56] <KE1HA> javier: There should be over-run compensation slider on your graphics settings, and in some cases the TV also has this feature as well, by setting the auto pixel compensation.
[04:56] <braxton> Make that 1245-dx
[04:57] <sathe> hi
[04:57] <Yegor_P> hi
[04:57] <Dulak> javier: worst-case you can use xvidtune to tweak the edges as necessary to fit
[04:57] <bryce> Hello
[04:58] <sathe> hi yego & bryce
[04:58] <bryce> Can I get someone to help me with a wireless internet issue?
[04:58] <KE1HA> javier: be warned though, on the Nvidia cards / Ub systems I've used this on, it doen't save the overrun setting and you have to reset it after each reboot or restart on xserver.
[04:58] <sathe> wat is your issue bryce
[04:58] <braxton> bryce: Just ask your questin.
[04:59] <braxton> *question
[04:59] <bryce> sathe
[04:59] <sathe> yeah
[05:00] <javier> ok, that changes the size, but I get flickering lines acress the tv now
[05:00] <zelda> anyone?
[05:00] <bryce>  I can get wireless internet to work, but when I shut off and restart my laptop, it isnt working.
[05:00] <Yegor_P> guys, I need to make some sort of slipstreaming... the task is to make an image containing proprietary video drivers, so to use it for clonezilla later. is it feasible to just move a ubuntu hdd from one pc to another in order to install VGA drivers?
[05:01] <DangerOnTheRang1> Can anyone recommend an Intel graphics driver that supports shaders?
[05:01] <sathe> Ensure that your wireless device is turned on.
[05:01] <braxton> bryce: Are you dual-booting windows?
[05:01] <zelda> hm guess I will have to take it over to the Utah linux groups.
[05:01] <braxton> zelda: What is your problem?
[05:01] <bryce> braxton: no
[05:02] <bryce> braxton: I'm using only ubuntu
[05:02] <KE1HA> DangerOnTheRang1: 946GZ, Q963, Q965, G31, Q33, Q35, G33) supports software vertex shaders and hardware pixel shaders on Shader Model 3.0
[05:02] <bryce> sathe: It is on, I'm on wireless now, But if I were to restart my computer it wouldnt work!
[05:02] <braxton> bryce: Oh. Well I've heard problems related to that. I'm sorry, but I have to leave now, or else I'd try to help.
[05:02] <zelda> I cant get my hdmi working. lspci doesnt recognize it, and aplay -l doesnt see the digital part of this either.
[05:02] <DangerOnTheRang1> KE1HA: I have a GMA950 - will that support shaders?
[05:03] <sathe> did you try the help options in ubuntu
[05:03] <KE1HA> DangerOnTheRang1: See PM
[05:03] <bryce> sathe: Yes.
[05:04] <bryce> Sathe: You know what I need?!? I need someone who freaking knows what they're doing. Okay? PM me and I'll send u the full details of the situation.
[05:04] <zelda> its an intelHDA sound card. Its recognized in the system as ad1981
[05:05] <Flannel> bryce: The people in this channel are volunteers.  You're more likely to get help from them if you're not rude.
[05:06] <wrtiii> I want to install a 2nd HDD in my linux server. typcially Is there anything I need to do before doing so?
[05:06] <zelda> @braxton : any ideas?
[05:07] <Flannel> wrtiii: Nope.  Turn off your power and pull the plug before doing so, but that's not unique to linux.
[05:09] <wrtiii> Flannel: Yea.. I just did exactly that and when I rebooted all hell broke lose.. just spent the last hour getting the system running again..
[05:09] <wrtiii> *sigh* round 2 dingding
[05:10] <zelda> thanks anyway people.
[05:10] <Flannel> wrtiii: Were you adding a PATA drive when the other was a SATA? or vice versa?
[05:10] <wrtiii> na
[05:10] <wrtiii> 160gb sata drive
[05:10] <wrtiii> one is wdc one is samsung
[05:11] <KE1HA> that shouldn't matter and UB should have adserse reactions to simply adding an HDD
[05:11] <Flannel> wrtiii: Only thing that I can think of that would cause problems is if you moved your primary drive to your secondary drive, and the new one became the primary.  Would require some bootloader fiddling.
[05:11] <KE1HA> whoops should not have .. ..
[05:13] <kslt1`> Does ubuntu use LVM? That could cause problems if the new drive has an LVM label on it.
[05:14] <anxiety> when im using wired internet I cant load any webpages in browsers or connect to msn facebook etc via pidgin, however I can connect to q3 engine based game servers fine, and pinging servers works fine. everything works fine using wireless. anyone have any ideas whats up with that?
[05:14] <KE1HA> wrtiii: I guess the question is, what was the actually fault / error you saw after rebooting?
[05:15] <wrtiii> KE1HA: Black Scren
[05:15] <Flannel> kslt1`: it can, it doesn't by default.
[05:15] <wrtiii> KE1HA: Posts then goes to black and sits there
[05:15] <wrtiii> at least this time, gonna go reboot it again
[05:15] <wrtiii> maybe kick it too
[05:15] <KE1HA> wrtiii: ok, are you able to boot a LiveCD?
[05:16] <kslt1`> Try a LIVE cdrom to boot from, and see how the new drive shows up when booted from the LIVE cd.
[05:16] <seanmc98> can someone help me seT UP VIRTUAL box on 11.04 so i can run windows vista
[05:16] <KE1HA> If ya can, may help to post the output of fdisk -l and see what UB is seeing.
[05:17] <seanmc98> can someone help me seT UP VIRTUAL box on 11.04 so i can run windows vista please
[05:17] <Romin> Anyone know the name of the latest code::blocks build?  I tried looking on the forums but it says "none" under linux for all the latest builds... I need to run sudo dpkg -i <Name_Of_Daily_Build.deb>
[05:17] <wrtiii> Ok. So it flashed some device not found erro right after post. then bootloader appear, I chose the non recovery selection and it has booted to login now with a bunch of errors about /dev/dm-2 not found
[05:18] <wrtiii> SSH is not up either
[05:19] <javier> ok so how do I use xvidtube? I get lines across my tv changing the overscaler
[05:19] <wrtiii> Ok and now same problem as first round of attempting this.. I am able to login w/ my usual username and password
[05:19] <wrtiii> but once logged in nothing I type works
[05:20] <Guest76530> hi my synaptic package manager is not opening. pls help
[05:20] <wrtiii> It returns -bash: command: command not found ie. sudo -i --> -bash: sudo: command not found   reboot --> -bash: reboot: command not found ....
[05:20] <Guest76530> i am ne
[05:21] <Guest76530> i am new to ubuntu and open source
[05:21] <KE1HA> wrtiii: it's all  a cascading problem form not getting through a clean boot.
[05:21] <kslt1`> @wrtiii it's confused about where your root file system is.
[05:22] <KE1HA> very confused from the sounds of it.
[05:22] <kslt1`> I would go back to original config and get it booting, then check out the new drive carefully using a LIVE cd.
[05:22] <kslt1`> You could corrupt your file system in the current state.
[05:23] <KE1HA> Easy enough to do, just pwr dwn the sys, and pull the pwr off the drive and reboot.
[05:23] <wrtiii> Is there a usb utility for making a live cd that's good offhand?
[05:23] <seanmc98> is ubuntu 11.04 i386 or AMD64 for a 32 bit PC?
[05:23] <kslt1`> IDE has choices that have to be made, jumpers that have to be set. If the drive is jumpered the same as the original, could be causing this.
[05:24] <dunbar> i386
[05:24] <seanmc98> wrtiii, unetbootin
[05:24] <seanmc98> dunbar, can you help me set up virtual box and windows XP in 11.04 please
[05:25] <dunbar> you want to set up a win xp guest in an 11.04 host?
[05:25] <kumar> hi my synaptic package manager is not opening. pls help
[05:25] <KE1HA> or usb-creator, usb-creator-kde, usb-creator-gtk, unetbootin .. I use unetbootin allot.
[05:25] <eQuiNoX__> hey everyone i just got a "bin" file which is a disk image of an android mobile; how could i mount it so that i could have a look at the contents? I tried this => http://pastebin.com/iRwPEnvB
[05:25] <wrtiii> sata drives kslt1`
[05:26] <eQuiNoX__> kumar: any kind of error message you are getting?
[05:26] <eQuiNoX__> seanmc98: have you installed vbox?
[05:26] <wrtiii> Ok So I disconnected the drive and reboot now brings me to grub loader screen and it will not proceed past there w/o user input. and when I press enter to try and boot past it the system just hangs
[05:26] <seanmc98> installing now
[05:26] <kumar> no equinox. i have restarted my system several times.
[05:26] <wrtiii> went through this like 5 reboots last time until it finally completed a full boot on it's own
[05:27] <dunbar> seanmc98 have you ever used vbox before?
[05:27] <eQuiNoX__> seanmc98: cool, after that create a new virtual machine and configure it with your requirements. its pretty straightforward and easy
[05:27] <kslt1`> So, sata doesn't require jumper settings?
[05:27] <seanmc98> no i havent. im a complete noob in VBOX
[05:27] <KE1HA> Not that I know of, least mine sata drives dont
[05:27] <eQuiNoX__> kumar: how is restarting once different from restarting many times? ;)
[05:27] <kumar> equinox: when i give my root password. it shows me as processing. but no use
[05:27] <eQuiNoX__> kumar: are you able to use apt-get?
[05:28] <seanmc98> eQuiNoX__, do i download the windows xp.iso or omething?
[05:28] <dunbar> seanmc98 it really helps you do everything, just be sure to give it enough memory and disk space
[05:28] <eQuiNoX__> seanmc98 aah, well i cant tell you how to get a hold of windows iso/disk you have to figure that out on your own ;-)
[05:28] <KE1HA> On most of the newer MB's, it's wehre you plug the SATA drive into that determines what it is, same with onboard cd's, raid's etc
[05:28] <seanmc98> eQuiNoX__, torrents work :P
[05:28] <ziyadb> Hi, I am looking for recommendations for mail clients. The default appears to be "Evolution" is it worth using? Or are there better options out there?
[05:29] <seanmc98> i think
[05:29] <eQuiNoX__> seanmc98: course they do
[05:29] <kumar> one thing equinox: i am new to open source. i dont know what is apt-get.
[05:29] <ziyadb> s/are there better options out there/do better options exist/

[05:30] <ziyadb> dunbar: oh, yeah. I have heard of that before, I assume it is awesome?
[05:30] <tensorpudding> ziyadb: not really on topic
[05:30] <KE1HA> wrtiii: gettign the grub boot menu manes the cfg file has been changed somehow, is ya can't get it too boot though, you'll need to chroot in from LiveCD and do a simple update-grub2
[05:30] <seanmc98> what andriod issue?
[05:30] <eQuiNoX__> seanmc98: yeah that wont be a prob
[05:30] <eQuiNoX__> "eQuiNoX__: hey everyone i just got a "bin" file which is a disk image of an android mobile; how could i mount it so that i could have a look at the contents? I tried this => http://pastebin.com/iRwPEnvB"

[05:36] <wrtiii> KE1HA: Now that I remove the 2nd HDD and Reboot 2 or 3 times The server now works perfect just like it did before
[05:37] <KE1HA> jen: I used this guide on my other half pod, and worked first time.
[05:37] <KE1HA> http://ubuntuguide.net/get-ipod-touchipad-recognized-sync-with-gtkpod-in-ubuntu-10-1010-04
[05:37] <jen> ok
[05:37] <jen> neato
[05:37] <jen> was it a touch?
[05:37] <KE1HA> Yeah, just touch, not iPhone.
[05:37] <kumar> equinox.. when i give the root password and open my synatic it now says as another synaptic is running.. but my update manager is open now.
[05:37] <jen> ok
[05:38] <kumar> ok thanks mouse.
[05:38] <mouse> update manager updates the system
[05:38] <KE1HA> wrtiii: Ok, you need to get the topography of your drive system, do you have pastebin installed?
[05:38] <wrtiii> on the linux system?
[05:38] <KE1HA> yes
[05:38] <wrtiii> nope
[05:39] <wrtiii> didn't realize it was an app
[05:39] <Jazillann> hi, does nayone know the software the ubuntu documentation pages are built on?
[05:39] <KE1HA> wrtiii: hold on one
[05:39] <wrtiii> is there a package for it?
[05:40] <KE1HA> sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[05:40] <KE1HA> then paste the link it give you
[05:42] <riz0n> So is there a way to force mount an NTFS Partition in Ubuntu
[05:42] <needhelp1> does anyone know when using rsync what ^M  means
[05:43] <wrtiii> KE1HA: Does that work for command line?
[05:43] <Jazillann> riz0n: search the ubuntu software centre for ntfs, should be an ntfs tool there

[05:44] <linn00b> Hello! I'm looking for some help on setting up a guest account. The first time I tried it things didn't go so well and I think it was due to a lack of privileges.
[05:44] <KE1HA> wrtiii: sri, yes, it's mand for the command line
[05:44] <KE1HA> whoops its made for .. CL
[05:44] <K-Rich> bwahahahah the dog is in the playpen
[05:44] <jen> umm
[05:45] <Jazillann> !users | linn00b
[05:45] <KE1HA> wrtiii: you can also install it when doing LiveCD when you having problems and post it so folks can help you.
[05:45] <riz0n> Jazillann:  thanks. my hard drive is going dead (I think) and I want the opportunity to try and back its contents up before I try formatting and reinstalling its contents.
[05:45] <seanmc98> what program do you suggest using to download torrents/
[05:45] <wrtiii> That is awesome

[05:45] <Jazillann> seanmc98: azureus, ktorrent, utorrent
[05:45] <wrtiii> I have it on my windows machine here and normally just cut and paste to it
[05:45] <tensorpudding> seanmc98: transmission, it is available by default
[05:46] <wrtiii> but so much easier having it right on the server
[05:46] <seanmc98> transmission isnt any goood?
[05:46] <wrtiii> brb gotta go find a usb stick
[05:46] <linn00b> ubottu: thanks! I'll be fine doing through the GUI? or should I CL it?

[05:47] <linn00b> I see.
[05:47] <KE1HA> wrtiii: so you do have LVM installed, you'll have to reconnect the drive, use the LiveCD, and do the same thing so we can see what that drive is doing to the LVM
[05:47] <jen> well I am still ubuntu ignorant and I need someone to personally help me
[05:47] <linn00b> jen, I'll try to help :)
[05:48] <jen> ok cool :3
[05:48] <linn00b> but I'd take a look at my username.
[05:48] <anxiety> haha jen wats up?
[05:48] <jen> <.< yeah no thankies ^-^"
[05:48] <wrtiii> KE1HA: Is LVM worth it? I was already considering just doing a fresh install without it. using max space on both drives
[05:48] <jen> I need personal help with my ipod touch to syn music
[05:49] <wrtiii> KE1HA: I mean I could understand the LVM for a desktop situation but hindsight being 20/20 just seems to be something more to go wrong with a server.
[05:49] <KE1HA> wrtiii: in some cases, yes, but my prefrence is no, if I need more that a TB of storage, I go to HW RAID
[05:49] <jen>  I am using gtkpod and the instructions I am using arent helping
[05:50] <jen> lol anyone?
[05:50] <KE1HA> wrtiii: you can always install JOBD which keeps things seperate device wise and still give you all the space, just not continious.
[05:50] <linn00b> you used the word thankies. Everyone probably hates you.
[05:50] <KE1HA> wrtiii: the best too I've used for LVM is not a UB distro tool, its from Fedora, but I doint support it here.
[05:51] <aroman> jen: personal help?
[05:51] <jen> yes like someone chat with just me to help
[05:51] <jen> like KEN
[05:51] <jen> tehe
[05:51] <aroman> well,
[05:51] <goddard> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11126608#post11126608
[05:51] <KE1HA> wrtiii: If this is a real server, meaning, you want good reliability, LVM is probably NOT what you want to be using.
[05:51] <goddard> help
[05:51] <daijie> asdf
[05:51] <aroman> I can say that probably the best experience i've had with ipod syncing is just using windows/mac
[05:51] <goddard> it seems like i have problems that no one can ever slve
[05:51] <aroman> in a VM or WINE
[05:52] <jen> will it work on WINE?
[05:52] <wrtiii> KE1HA: Is there a way to remove the LVM without doing a fresh install?
[05:52] <KE1HA> jen: Im not an expert in ipod stuff, but if you can explain the exact problem your having, someone watching here may know how to help.
[05:52] <aroman> jen: not sure about the latest version
[05:53] <aroman> goddard: what exactly is your problem?
[05:53] <jen> ok dokie
[05:53] <KE1HA> wrtiii: Probably, but it's more pain than its worth. I'd do a backup of anythign critical, and install without LVM for any server type setup. Make sure you install the other drive first though.
[05:53] <Jazillann> does anyone know the mediawiki theme used at https://help.ubuntu.com/ ?
[05:54] <quiescens> shrugs, lvm shouldn't be any significantly worse than using drives individually, but obviously isn't as good as using drives redundantly
[05:54] <goddard> aroman: a file exists yet it doesn and i cant figure out why
[05:54] <KE1HA> wrtiii: using Tasksel you can have a server install done, up and runnign in 30 minutes.
[05:54] <goddard> aroman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11126608#post11126608
[05:54] <jen> well then here's my prob. My ipod is registered and I have music on here I would like to get onto my pod, but cannot sync it. I have apps, a little music, and such. Will it work on WINE? GTK idk if it works or not, it has 8 gig touch as an option but intrustioncs are invalid because I am using natty.
[05:55] <aroman> goddard: i'm looking at the screenshot now
[05:55] <wrtiii> KE1HA: yea nothing critcal yet. lamp server, mumble server and static ip is as far as I got. wanted to install the 2nd harddrive so I can keep a mirror image of the main drive in a stable state should problems like this arise. then I can just restore the image from the secondary drive and not have to worry about any problems that were created
[05:55] <aroman> goddard: it's very blurry, can you pastebin the output?
[05:55] <rypervenche> jen: You could always run a VM with Windows in it.
[05:55] <jen> a what?
[05:55] <jen> VM???
[05:55] <aroman> jen: virtual machine
[05:55] <MrWizard> if the music is registered and in itunes, makes an export of it and hard transfer the music to the device via NAS
[05:55] <jen> umm
[05:55] <goddard> aroman: not sure why everyone sys tha i can readit fine
[05:55] <jen> how?
[05:56] <jen> is it complicated?
[05:56] <KE1HA> wrtiii: LAMP is 30 seconds to install, if nothign critical is there, Install the second drive, and do a fresh server install.
[05:56] <aroman> goddard: we can't.
[05:56] <aroman> jen: not really
[05:56] <goddard> aroman: odd
[05:56] <MrWizard> Hello World ^-^
[05:56] <goddard> aroman: ok i guess
[05:56] <Jazillann> jen: this might help http://www.ehow.com/how_5197743_download-itunes-linux-ubuntu.html
[05:56] <rypervenche> jen: I believe if you want to be able to sync apps and things of that nature you have to use iTunes.
[05:56] <jen> itunes wont work on linux will it?
[05:56] <aroman> jen: not natively, no.
[05:56] <wrtiii> KE1HA: Will do. now if someone could just train my cat to return the usb stick it stole so I don't have to scrap one of my other ones for this that would be great
[05:56] <KE1HA> wrtiii: that part I can do almost blindfolded and have done hundreds of test install so can help you more from that perspective.
[05:56] <linn00b> apple and *nix dont get along
[05:57] <aroman> linn00b: all of apple's products are *nix..
[05:57] <Jazillann> then though apple is pretty much *nix..
[05:57] <Jazillann> ahaha
[05:57] <aroman> :P
[05:57] <linn00b> aroman: touche. should have said linux.
[05:57] <jen> then how?
[05:57] <linn00b> aroman: shorthand ftl
[05:57] <aroman> linn00b: yeah :P
[05:57] <KE1HA> wrtiii: +1 on the cat know what ya mean !
[05:57] <dunbar> wasn't mach based on freebsd

[05:58] <aroman> dunbar: OS X is based on BSD, yes.
[05:58] <MrWizard> well, BSD at any rate
[05:58] <jen> if anyone wants to waste their time helping me, private chat me
[05:58] <aroman> jen: short answer: it's hackish
[05:58] <MrWizard> which is Berkley's old school flav o unix
[05:58] <aroman> apple doesn't provide any official support for linux
[05:58] <wrtiii> KE1HA: Permission to PM You?

[05:58] <jen> :3
[05:58] <aroman> goddard: dude
[05:58] <jen> a cute lil noob
[05:58] <aroman> goddard: why would you not just pastebin?
[05:58] <aroman> thats 900x easier
[05:59] <goddard> aroman: dude what do i need to pastbin?
[05:59] <aroman> goddard: exactly what's in your terminal
[05:59] <aroman> there's no reason at all that you need anything but that
[05:59] <KE1HA> wrtiii: sure, go ahead
[05:59] <aroman> that's all you're showing.
[05:59] <linn00b> So I got my new user set up! Much thanks to everyone. Now its for my kid, so I want to make sure I can monitor what he does on the account, does Linux have a keylogger it  likes to use?
[05:59] <seanmc98> if i have a windows xp .iso and virtualbox installed how do i set it up?
[05:59] <aroman> linn00b: you want to use a keylogger to spy on your child?
[06:00] <frodo_baggins> guys is it it necessary to have a /home partition. I have other drives in my HDD and windows 7 too.
[06:00] <no-name-> will ubuntu run ok on a 2.7 ghz single core?
[06:00] <linn00b> aroman: I want to make sure he doesn't hop onto the internet and disappear into the porn cloud, yes
[06:00] <aroman> frodo_baggins: no, but why would you not have one?
[06:00] <MrWizard> lol
[06:00] <aroman> linn00b: you want a porn filter, not a keylogger.
[06:00] <aroman> a keylogger would do nothing to prevent that scenario
[06:00] <aroman> since it can only report things after the fact
[06:01] <linn00b> aroman: both? First I want a keylogger.
[06:01] <aroman> no-name-: very well
[06:01] <MrWizard> ubuntu will run ok on that old p2 box ya got sittin in the corner down in ya basement ;)
[06:01] <milamber> !pastebin | goddard
[06:01] <linn00b> aroman: I just want to be able to come back later, and see what's been going on on my guest account.
[06:01] <frodo_baggins> aroman:  yeah good point, but i was thinking if i give 250 gb out of 2TB to /root. Or can you suggest me sizes plz.?
[06:01] <no-name-> MrWizard: I couldn't find video drivers for that one :P
[06:01] <aroman> linn00b: well suit yourself, check this out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/14180/how-can-i-install-a-keylogger
[06:01] <aroman> linn00b: I'm afraid I can't vouch for anything personally
[06:02] <Flannel> linn00b: You should look into dansguardian, which is a web filter
[06:02] <aroman> frodo_baggins: not sure what you're trying to do
[06:02] <linn00b> aroman: dansguardian, got it, much appreciated friend!
[06:02] <aroman> linn00b: I think you meant to direct that to Flannel :P
[06:03] <linn00b> ><
[06:03] <MrWizard> no-name: probably was an old via chipset for video then, in which case you need to use some old openchrome drivers, in addition to generating your own xorg.conf file cause it wont be made on install or driver update =(
[06:03] <linn00b> I guess I'm just used to seeing red and thinking its you
[06:03] <aroman> heh
[06:03] <linn00b> Flannel: thanks!
[06:03] <aroman> "seeing red"
[06:03] <aroman> frodo_baggins: have a look at this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?chap=4&part=1#doc_chap2
[06:03] <seanmc98> can someone help me seT UP VIRTUAL box on 11.04 so i can run windows xp. i have the .iso downloaded
[06:03] <frodo_baggins> aroman:  just going to install ubuntu side by side windows 7 but using manual partitioning, to use for testing my php scripts
[06:03] <linn00b> haha I've made a proper ass out of myself tonight.
[06:03] <seanmc98> and i have virtual box installed
[06:03] <aroman> frodo_baggins: ah I see
[06:03] <dunbar> seanmc98: have you started vb yet?
[06:03] <aroman> frodo_baggins: what's wrong with the default layout?
[06:04] <MrWizard> ew. default layouts. *shivers* ><
[06:04] <seanmc98> dunbar, yes
[06:04] <seanmc98> clicked new. and maed it windows XP
[06:04] <seanmc98> named*
[06:04] <dunbar> and?
[06:04] <seanmc98> idk what to do after that i have never used it
[06:04] <aroman> !details | seanmc98
[06:05] <frodo_baggins> aroman:  I guess, when something happens to windows installation, even ubuntu installation gets affected if you chose side by side-default.
[06:05] <seanmc98> dunbar, do i select boot hard disk?
[06:05] <aroman> frodo_baggins: changing your partition map wouldn't really do that
[06:05] <aroman> i think you're referring to GRUB being overwritten
[06:06] <Sabu> boo.
[06:07] <milamber> frodo_baggins: are you just trying to get an AMP server set up?
[06:09] <frodo_baggins_> aroman:  exactly
[06:09] <aroman> frodo_baggins_: yeah messing around with your partition map is going to do nothing to fix that I'm afraid
[06:10] <frodo_baggins_> aroman:  ahh....so should i choose "default-sise-by-side" option or give "free space to ubuntu" to do it by self?
[06:11] <Sabu> if u pick free space its prolly gonna take ALL ur free space
[06:11] <aroman> frodo_baggins_: I guess that really depends on your own configuration
[06:11] <Sabu> pre-partition space and do the side by side
[06:11] <aroman> us guessing wouldn't really help much
[06:12] <frodo_baggins_> okay, so i pre partition it then and install, ty ty all
[06:18] <goddard> ...
[06:20] <aroman> goddard: if you want help, use pastebin like everyone else
[06:20] <aroman> there's a reason those sites exist
[06:20] <linn00b> every keylogger I've been able to find seems.... bad. This doesn't seem like like a hard task.  I have a installation of Xymon which was installed and working perfectly using the official ubuntu package. Some time has pased, and I really need to update the install as some security issues have came to light that have been addressed in the latest version. The developer has a deb file for this new version on sourceforge... how can I upgrade my install?
[06:26] <iceCupa> wats the channelspeak?
[06:27] <urlin2u> devsys, that is a server package?
[06:27] <devsys> yes
[06:27] <devsys> I believe so... its ubuntu server
[06:27] <Yukinoroh> anyone else having scrollbar issues in gimp?
[06:28] <Yukinoroh> if liboverlay is installed, the font selection is impossible, and if it's not, the scrollbar at the bottom will hide part of the image
[06:28] <KE1HA> yes it's a network monitor I think
[06:28] <Yukinoroh> I think it's caused by liboverlay
[06:28] <urlin2u> devsys, before you get yelled at this being a ubuntu channel , try here #ubuntu-server   ;)
[06:28] <devsys> uups, thanks
[06:28] <devsys> oops*
[06:28] <Flannel> urlin2u, devsys: that question was perfectly fine for this channel.
[06:28] <rypervenche> devsys: Download the .deb file, install it using "# dpkg -i filname"
[06:29] <rypervenche> devsys: # meaning root powers.
[06:29] <urlin2u> Flannel, no problem I was just giving the full optional exsperience. ;)
[06:29] <devsys> rypervenche: I did and I got xymon conflicts with hobbit-client
[06:29] <samy3> hi
[06:29] <samy3> help me how to install VirutalBox in my linux machine?
[06:30] <devsys> should I remote the hobbit-client package? I dont have a problem doing that I just don't want to hose the server part of the install
[06:30] <dunbar> samy3 it is in the ubuntu software center
[06:30] <Flannel> devsys: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:30] <samy3> dunbar where is ubuntu software center?
[06:31] <devsys> Flannel: I believe 10
[06:31] <dunbar> samy3: are you on 11.04
[06:31] <devsys> 11.04
[06:31] <KE1HA> System >> Administration or Applicaitons Ubuntu Software Center
[06:31] <Guest75269> hy
[06:31] <urlin2u> samy3, there is also the virtualbox website if you want to use usb HD's or thumbs
[06:31] <Guest75269> Newbie ^_^
[06:31] <samy3> guys can you tell me how to install using the terminal?
[06:31] <samy3> command
[06:32] <theadmin> samy3: sudo apt-get install packaganame
[06:32] <theadmin> !APT | samy3
[06:32] <Flannel> devsys: hobbit-client is a dummy package, so you'll be fine removing it (it doesn't provide anything)
[06:32] <devsys> sweet
[06:32] <Flannel> devsys: You just want to make sure you have xymon-client installed (which is what hobbit-client turned into)
[06:33] <urlin2u> samy3, make sure you install dkms as well it wil allow kernel updates on the host without reloading the guest additions.
[06:33] <KE1HA> Geez, lets see: sudo dpkg -i  or sudo aptitude install or sudo apt-get install too many to pick from :-)
[06:33] <theadmin> KE1HA: Yep, exactly the reason I hate APT :P
[06:33] <samy3> urlinu what is dkms?
[06:34] <Flannel> KE1HA: dpkg -i knows nothing about repositories, apt-get and aptitude are two different frontends, aptitude is no longer installed by default.
[06:34] <KE1HA> Indeed dpkg fer .deb should have stated that sri :-)
[06:35] <urlin2u> samy3, it links up the virtual and host kernel, for being able to update the host kernel and no having to reinstall the guest additions in virtualbox.
[06:35] <devsys> Flannel: I get Package hobbit-client is not installed, so not removed
[06:36] <devsys> Flannel: Using sudo apt-get remove hobbit-client
[06:36] <devsys> Flannel: dpkg -l | grep hobbit-client showed nothing
[06:38] <samy3> urlin2u but vb is not install on my pc
[06:38] <urlin2u> samy3, I thought you wanted to install virtualbox.
[06:39] <frodo_baggins> hi I was trying to install netbeans 7 bundled with jre java....but got this error...http://pastebin.com/Pnx4dTEK please help!!
[06:39] <samy3> yeh urlinu2u i want to install vb=virutal box
[06:39] <KE1HA> devsys: try: apt-cache policy hobbit-client
[06:40] <urlin2u> samy3, right and before or after you do I suggested to install dkms, if you don't want to reinstall the guest additions in VB every time you get a kernel update in the host.
[06:41] <frodo_baggins> is jre 7 supported on ubuntu 11.04
[06:41] <Flannel> devsys: ah, it seems that's a virtual package provided by xymon-client.  So, that's somewhat annoying.
[06:41] <samy3> urlin2u how can i install dkms?
[06:41] <theadmin> frodo_baggins: Normally not.
[06:41] <urlin2u> samy3, sudo apt-get install dkms    in the terminal.
[06:42] <samy3> ok urlin2u got it
[06:42] <frodo_baggins> theadmin:  any way to install neteans 7.0.1
[06:42] <devsys> KE1HA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660316/
[06:42] <samy3> oh no :( error come while instaling dkms
[06:42] <KE1HA> devsys: verifies what Flannel said about virtual package .. that's a pain.
