[03:53] <sacarlson> joe_gubat: what errors are you getting when you attempt to install php4 with apt-get install?
[03:53] <robg> RealOpty, you mean apt-get update? if so I tried that. I also removed it from source list and readded it incase it might be a typo or something
[03:53] <ilovefairuz> KE1HA: SSH is NOT SSL
[03:53] <RealOpty> robg, ok. i dont know then, sorry.
[03:53] <ilovefairuz> annie: KE1HA: they are unrelated
[03:53] <drew212> how would i debug a problem where i can get to grub, but when i try to boot, even in recovery mode, it shows up a mostly blank screen, with some green, blue and yellow pixels across the top, even in separate kernels
[03:53] <pil> Hello everyone - I have a question about defragmenting my hard drive - is there any way or a program which can defragment my drives?
[03:53] <KE1HA> biding SSH to 8080 isn't gonna work, but ok.
[03:54] <annie> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/t8SStYDa    That's from the client, no tunnel open
[03:54] <ilovefairuz> KE1HA: as long has no other binary is bound to the port, yes it will work
[03:54] <drew212> ok
[03:54] <KE1HA> ok
[03:54] <JustinTheTerribl> can anyone help me with Conky
[03:54] <joe_gubat> : sacarlson - it says that the no longer available. something like that...
[03:54] <coz_> drew212,   mpt sure off hand ././.did you try the #grub channel?
[03:54] <Gimped> JustinTheTerribl: try #conky channel
[03:54] <sacarlson> joe_gubat: just install the newer one php5 or up
[03:55] <annie> KE1HA: it was working a few hours ago... I'm walking step by step through the tutorial I wrote, and now it's not working
[03:55] <drew212> no, grub boots and starts ubuntu fine, i should try booting with a super grub disk....
[03:55] <coz_> JustinTheTerribl,   I only used conky once  so I am not the one that can help ...sorry guy
[03:55] <maco> KE1HA: annie using ssh to make a SOCKSv5 proxy
[03:55] <annie> maco: exactly
[03:55] <pil> I guess everyone is so busy .. :(
[03:56] <joe_gubat> sacarlson: i want to...but my current website uses php4
[03:56] <ilovefairuz> annie: sshd (the openssh server) is bound to these ports on the CLIENT (why? perhaps you've mistakenly edited the config files on client not server) .. sudo service ssh stop ... or remove openssh-server at all from client
[03:56] <coz_> pil,   I didnt see your question
[03:56] <sacarlson> joe_gubat: you sure it won't work with php5?
[03:56] <Wiesshund> pil in general linux doesnt require defragging
[03:56] <bofh80> pil: no defrag no. thank goodness you don't need to defrag anymore :)
[03:57] <Wiesshund> pil and currently there isnt s stable "defragger" for ext4, aside from dd
[03:57] <coz_> pil,   ah defragging... well  although linux fragments  it doesn do it in the same way windows does...the files are written to the drive in an different fashion
[03:57] <annie> ilovefairuz: ohhhh... Dang.. Yeah. I was switching out the laptop because I'm going to use it as the server. KK... so edit my config files here to the default ports.
[03:57] <KE1HA> Yeah, I get the whole proxy thing. Not here to argue just think that's the wrong way to go, but stand corr on ssl / ssh.
[03:57] <pil> Wiesshund, bofh80: are you serious? No defragment is necessary?
[03:57] <joe_gubat> yes i have tried it... the cms wont load on php5
[03:57] <sacarlson> joe_gubat: try it if it fails with your site then worry about it
[03:57] <annie> I learn something every day I'm in this room
[03:57] <coz_> pil,  he is serious
[03:57] <pil> :) Thank God
[03:57] <pil> thanks alot
[03:57] <pil> :)
[03:58] <thune3> pil: the standard answer around here is that you don't need it. This is a function of not having defrag tools
[03:58] <DWarrior1> someone help me understand this poster: http://images.easyart.com/i/prints/lg/1/6/164339.jpg
[03:58] <sacarlson> joe_gubat:  ok what is cms?  maybe that's what we need to fix
[03:58] <joe_gubat> i am planning to migrate it to php5
[03:58] <Wiesshund> only time i see a baddly fragged drive in linux is when someone is using torrent to get large video files etc, and thats more a fault of the torrent app
[03:58] <pil> thune3: ok
[03:58] <coz_> pil,   also no need for anitvirus  and spyware utilites ..at least at the moment
[03:58] <DWarrior1> I can maybe see how the rock wins, but the tree?
[03:58] <joe_gubat> it is a customize cms...
[03:58] <pil> coz_: I hope it will stay that way :P
[03:58] <pil> :)
[03:58] <drew212> coz_: what if the SGD doesnt work?
[03:58] <thune3> pil: another standard answer, but malware can hit ubuntu as well
[03:59] <FoolishOwl> pil, I gather that creating a defragmentation utility has been on the Linux community's to-do list for ages. But, fragmentation isn't much of a problem, so it stays low on the to-do list.
[03:59] <sacarlson> joe_gubat: I don't know what cms is so guess can't help you there
[03:59] <coz_> drew212,   sgd?  I am bad at abreviations :)
[03:59] <ilovefairuz> annie: stop the server on the client, you don't need it for the proxy to work
[03:59] <drew212> coz_: super grub disk
[03:59] <drew212> its grub, on a disk...
[03:59] <pil> Foolish0wl: I got it thanks :)
[03:59] <coz_> drew212,  oh  ok... ah it should however to be sure about the procedures with grub2  I would go to the #grub channel
[04:00] <Wiesshund> Any OS can be hit by malware or virus, but linux is harder to target and the enduser usualy a bit more savvy. So people tend not to write viruses for it
[04:00] <annie> ilovefairuz: right. But after I get all this sorted, the client is gonna be the server. Long story.
[04:00] <synister> YOu dont need a FTP client, linux comes to with "Connect to server" built in
[04:00] <RenatoSilva> How to change grub2's fonts?
[04:00] <RenatoSilva> How to change grub2's fonts? bold, italic, family name etc
[04:00] <bofh80> Wiesshund: but that gap closes with cross platform browser plugins like flash and java etc . just as exploitable on any OS they run on
[04:00] <ilovefairuz> annie: ok but for the time being turn it off to not confuse yourself
[04:01] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  oooo  tough question for me to answer... I am still getting used to grub2 :)  but there are a ton of how to's online and you can go to the #grub channel
[04:01] <joe_gubat> do you have any idea in setting up LAMPhp4 using the source package?
[04:01] <drew212> coz_:  im pretty sure its a problem with my xorg.conf...
[04:01] <Wiesshund> pil if youve actualy fragmented a linux partition bad (its possible just unusual) you can defrag it perfectly with dd
[04:01] <annie> ilovefairuz: yeah... just have default port 22 open in confg file now...
[04:01] <Gimped> Wiesshund: also, linux gets security updates more frequently with new kernels and such
[04:01] <coz_> drew212,   still #grub channel may have some insights
[04:01] <RenatoSilva> coz_: google is a bad guy
[04:01] <drew212> coz_: ill check after SGD, thanks man =)
[04:01] <RenatoSilva> coz_: I guess that's impossible. Would not be surprised.
[04:02] <coz_> drew212,  no problem...let us know if you solve this ..the solution may be real helpful
[04:02] <pil> Wiesshund: Ok... I hope linux stays virusless OS for ages...
[04:02] <joe_gubat> sacarlson-do you have any idea in setting up LAMPhp4 using the source package?
[04:02] <thune3> Wiesshund: i'd be in for understanding how a dd defrag would work (as I don't believe it)
[04:02] <Wiesshund> bofh80 yes and no, depends on if you like logging in as root. id say normaly the worst you are going to do is ruin one users login, which is an easy fix
[04:02] <sacarlson> joe_gubat: if you need to compile that old stuf http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1329760
[04:02] <RenatoSilva> coz_: I just upgraded to grub2 but I liked the old font, I think it was just bolder
[04:03] <collabra> Wiesshund: me too.
[04:03] <joe_gubat> thanks
[04:03] <coz_> pil,  most of the viruses I have seen were on the server platform  ,,,, my nephew got one for his business... but  overall I doubt it will be much of an issue   you can go to the BlackHat security sight to see what has been going on in terms of security issues with linux
[04:03] <Wiesshund> thune3 easy, remember of course you need the space to dd, when you pick up files and write them to a new fresh location, they are laid down perfect and unfragmented
[04:03] <bofh80> Wiesshund: from one point of view, root yes, but most of these things are after user data, that's accessable just by running as the user . nothing stopping it dropping a bomb in the users dir and having it launch with gnome either etc. it's not far out of reach
[04:03] <coz_> pil,     http://www.blackhat.com/
[04:04] <collabra> Wiesshund: do you have a script handy?
[04:04] <Wiesshund> bofh80 that is true, no sys tem can ever be totaly secure against its owner.
[04:04] <annie> ilovefairuz: THANK YOU .... it's working now. SWEET. You have saved me so much headache!
[04:04] <pil> Wiesshund: I had a MacbookPro before I switched to ubuntu and the reason for switching to MacOS X because of there is no known viruses but the OS X bored me as hell... by the way the BlackHat you mean the channel here in freenode?
[04:04] <ilovefairuz> annie: you're welcome
[04:05] <coz_> pil,   that site can be difficult to maneauver in but worth the effort
[04:05] <RenatoSilva> coz_:thanks anyway
[04:05] <coz_> RenatoSilva,  sorry if I havent been much help
[04:05] <RenatoSilva> np
[04:05] <Wiesshund> pil actualy osX has more viri in existance than linux (which is still almost none)
[04:06] <sticky_> ?
[04:06] <sticky_> oops, sorry
[04:06] <Guest90239> I'm having a problem with getting tightvncserver to start at boot on ubuntu srver
[04:06] <pil> Wiesshund: why people write viruses in the first place - that I dont understand it really.. :P
[04:07] <JustinTheTerribl> because
[04:07] <sacarlson> Guest90239: I think you might have to have auto login set or it will have nothing to look at
[04:07] <collabra> pil: To prove to Bill Gates and the world that his software sucs.
[04:07] <JustinTheTerribl> exactly lol
[04:07] <Wiesshund> pil why do people steal murder and rape? same reasons really
[04:08] <annie> thanks again .... this room is awesome
[04:08] <robg> Hi guys added the xbmc repository and apt-get update return Ign on the team-xbmc and a bunch of multivers and restricted repositories. How do I get it to fetch those repos?
[04:08] <Guest90239> I created a file called local in /etc/init.d/ , made it executable, added the command tightvncserver -rfbport 5900 and then ran update-rc.d, but the vnc server doesnt start
[04:09] <pil> Wiesshund, collabra: that's exactly true - the human nature but in the case of Linux - we are the ones I guess to make the open source clean and trustworthy for us the geeks... :)
[04:09] <AndrewMC> off topic conversations to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:09] <sacarlson> robg: my guess is that the site is broken, it may return with time or you can find a mirror site with what you want
[04:09] <gimpy253> Why would recovery mode try to boot to a GUI?  Assuming that a screen which says Ubuntu and four dots which change color in 10.04 is the boot GUI.
[04:09] <Wiesshund> collabra eh but if you remember some of the first viruses, they were not OS dependant. technicaly they could kill a linux machine that was booted from floppies
[04:09] <Guest90239> can anyone help?
[04:09] <AndrewMC> !patience | Guest90239
[04:11] <collabra> Wiesshund: Well, tell me this,... would you rather use an operating system designed for themselves by 10 to 20 thousand programmers world-wide..... Or one man's failed vision?
[04:11] <sacarlson> Guest90239: I think you should have your system auto login to an account you want to vnc to and have your vnc start from your login account
[04:11] <biodegabriel> Hi, I can't seem to run 'configure' on my nginx source. I keep getting this message: "unable to execute ./configure: Permission denied" I've checked the permissions, they're set to 755. The ownership is fine too. Any clues? I've run out of ideas.
[04:11] <pil> take care guys and gals - I have to go back to my linux books to study a little bit more ... talk to you later - you all are great - thanks for being there all the time - I am full of emotions now... :)
[04:12] <Guest90239> tightvncserver doesnt run automatically when I log in manually either
[04:12] <sacarlson> Guest90239: no you have to setup the start in the account give a sleep time so that the account is up to vnc to
[04:13] <Wiesshund> collabra i use quite a few OS's frequently, and personaly have no issues with any of them. But im not the guy at bestbuy grabbing a box off the shelf going home and then clicking yes on every popup box i see just to get the non existant free porn ;)
[04:13] <Wiesshund> ok i lied, i hate lantastic
[04:14] <sacarlson> Guest90239:  I don't use tight vnc I just use the one that is installed standard and it has a gui to set it up
[04:14] <Guest90239> how would I do that?
[04:14] <collabra> Wiesshund: Well, I'm definitely not grabbing that box on the shelf..... lol.
[04:14] <Guest90239> I'm running ubuntu server with no GUI
[04:14] <synister> Any graphic designers in here?
[04:14] <sacarlson> Guest90239:  does it have to be tightvnc?
[04:15] <luofuhui> ????
[04:15] <sacarlson> Guest90239:  oh then you would need to setup a headless vnc
[04:16] <ipc> Any graphic designers in here?
[04:16] <collabra> Guest90239: Why don't you just use SSH?....
[04:16] <ilovefairuz> !ot | ipc
[04:16] <sacarlson> Guest90239: you could just install the ubuntu-desktop  or run headless
[04:17] <sacarlson> Guest90239: collabra:  good point why can't you just ssh in if it's just a server?
[04:17] <Guest90239> How will ssh differ from vnc?
[04:17] <Ameisen> Which is the best file system, speed-wise, for large numbers of small files
[04:18] <Ameisen> im talking tens of thousands of course files
[04:18] <Ameisen> source*&
[04:18] <collabra> Guest90239: TightVNC is for gui and graphics,... if you're just in a text environment,... ssh all the way.
[04:18] <sacarlson> Guest90239: well vnc is a graphical interface.  a server has no graphic xserver running.  you just ssh into a server into a shell
[04:18] <ilovefairuz> Guest90239: ssh is text-based (but you can use it to redirect X connection)
[04:18] <Wiesshund> VNC is for remote desktoping, gui and all that jazz. plain ssh is secure telnet for command line stuff
[04:18] <Guest90239> do I need a program for ssh? wiol it run at startup automatically?
[04:19] <lolmac404> is there any way i can access windows and linux remotely?
[04:19] <collabra> sudo apt-get install ssh
[04:19] <biodegabriel> Can anyone recommend a mirror for 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'? My installation is messed up and I suspect it's the packages that were downloaded.
[04:19] <ilovefairuz> Guest90239: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[04:19] <biodegabriel> I mean, a mirror for Ubuntu in general.
[04:19] <Wiesshund> Guest90239 server should have sshd running by default should it not?
[04:19] <sacarlson> Guest90239: the server has sshd already installed and running default on port 22
[04:19] <collabra> Guest90239: then open port 22 to the outside and then remote in....
[04:20] <Wiesshund> just type ssh serverip in term
[04:20] <collabra> Guest90239: there are a few security enhancements you can make,... but learning them is as easy as a google.
[04:20] <ilovefairuz> Ameisen: use ext4 it's speedy and well suited for heavy loads
[04:21] <_jesse_> lolmac404: ssh
[04:21] <Ameisen> my need is -very- specific
[04:21] <Ameisen> compiling/checking in/out huge numbers of source files
[04:21] <DasEi> Wiesshund: ssh not enabled in server by default
[04:21] <Ameisen> 5% improvement means a lot to me
[04:22] <ilovefairuz> Ameisen: nothing stable (on gnu/linux) currently matches ext4 speed-wise
[04:22] <Ameisen> someone suggested tuned XFS
[04:22] <collabra> Ameisen: what are they written in?
[04:22] <ilovefairuz> Ameisen: the only contender is btrfs and it's still under development
[04:22] <Ameisen> Java, C, C++, AIDL
[04:23] <collabra> Ameisen: wow,...not I, said the duck.

[04:28] <coz_> mlmg317-himts, not sure  it may be   clamscan -r
[04:28] <ilovefairuz> collabra: I actually made a relevant suggestion. If you have none, try helping someone else.
[04:28] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,   I know that clamscan -r /home will scan home directory recursively

[04:29] <collabra> ilovefairuz;   why don't you help me then....
[04:29] <collabra> ilovefairuz;  think you can,... I've got a great question...

[04:30] <Blue1> coz_: i just nuked it --
[04:30] <coz_> Blue1,   oops  apparenlty I do :)
[04:30] <ilovefairuz> RealOpty: what are you trying to accomplish? also check: man setuid
[04:30] <Blue1> coz_: seems unnecessary
[04:31] <RealOpty> ilovefairuz, Well im making a munin plugin that will graph my GPU temp. but the nvidia app that grabs the temp only runs on the user that has controll of the X screen.
[04:31] <Blue1> coz_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEPOMUK_%28framework%29
[04:31] <collabra> ilovefairuz: insult me again.... take time out of your busy day to write a script to me apologizing to me and the room for your arrogance

[04:32] <gp5st> collabra: watch the lang
[04:32] <RealOpty> ilovefairuz, ty will try it
[04:32] <coz_> Blue1,  interesting
[04:32] <sacarlson> RealOpty: you might want to see the package cacti  it's cool for setup graphs of events
[04:32] <collabra> point made.... i'm through with him for now.
[04:32] <mlmg317-himts> coz_: yeah, I remember "clamscan -r".  So then what would I enter to in addition to "clamscan -r" if I wanted to scan the entire file system?
[04:32] <RealOpty> sacarlson, dont like cacti. too complicated to setup.
[04:33] <Blue1> coz_: 17 million euros?  I think somebody needs 16,999,999.99 in change
[04:33] <ipc> Well that was fucken retarded
[04:33] <RealOpty> sacarlson, munin is quite nice and runs on my embedded devices too
[04:33] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,   mm maybe  sudo clamscan -r
[04:34] <RealOpty> its not munins fault this dont work :\ just a nvidia thing :/
[04:34] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,  I believe there are both gtk and qt frontends for clamav as well
[04:34] <sacarlson> RealOpty: with cacti you have views of all your servers loads and events.  to each his own
[04:34] <Meway> whats wrong with this channel any ops on?
[04:34] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,  you could also try   man clamscan
[04:35] <Meway> cannot send to channel #ubuntu ...
[04:35] <RealOpty> sacarlson, ive used cacti. but now ive switched to munin :)
[04:35] <mlmg317-himts> coz_: Yeah - I have had troubles with GUI.  It will stall in the middle of full system scan - and never finish ...  I tried "man clamscan" - but didn't see a command listed for full sytem scan ...

[04:36] <Tomwa> I'd hate to overwrite my Windows partition lol
[04:36] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,    simply   gtk is for gnome and qt for kde

[04:36] <Meway> if you guys have some kind of x words per min and I only said 3 things before it started doing that one of the ops is a moron
[04:37] <ipc> One, lol
[04:37] <tucemiux> Tomwa, sudo df -h
[04:37] <coz_> Meway,  sorry I guy  if you posted a question I missed it
[04:37] <mlmg317-himts> coz_: Hmmm.  What would "clamscan -l" do?
[04:37] <ipc> sudo -rm ops
[04:37] <ipc> doesnt work
[04:37] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,  good question  give it a try :)
[04:37] <bofh80> mlmg317-himts: is clam -r /home scans home then -r /  will scan the whole system in theory
[04:37] <Meway> it could be an issu on my end or something
[04:38] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,  did you look here  ?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV#Using%20ClamAV
[04:38] <Meway> lmao ipc
[04:38] <ipc> lol
[04:38] <Meway> coz_: well I asked if anyone knew about file sharing. what does ubuntu use for that? I cant seem to get it to share with a windows networok
[04:38] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,  oh!  try  sudo clamscan -r /
[04:38] <Meway> network*
[04:38] <Tomwa> tucemiux: I'm not gonna lie I have no idea what sudo -h means lol
[04:39] <Tomwa> I assume it's some kind of command line?
[04:39] <Meway> coz_ I think its somba having an issue but im about to find out
[04:39] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,  or  to show only infected files  try   sudo clamscan -r --bell -i /
[04:39] <sacarlson> Meway:  with windows we use samba
[04:39] <Meway> im googlings
[04:39] <Meway> sacarlson: thanks
[04:39] <bofh80> Tomwa: -h means help :) on all commands -h or --help
[04:40] <Tomwa> I'm using the alternate installer too to fix a driver/chip issue
[04:40] <Meway> sacarlson: is there any known reason somba might not work correctly with windows xp?
[04:40] <coz_> Meway,  oh ok...mmm darn I happen to be the "doof" of networking issues on this channel   sorry.. the thing is that many people are not here...rather the people who are here at the moemtn doing support may not have the answer right now
[04:40] <sacarlson> meway: I can't seem to get windows to share with ubuntu but I have no problem getting ubuntu to share with windows
[04:41] <coz_> Meway,   the other options I offer people is to try in the ##linux channel for some advice especially for networking but your question seems to be ubuntu specific so this wuould be the correct channel for that
[04:41] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,  that second command I gave you seems to be the one you want
[04:41] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,    sudo clamscan -r --bell -i /
[04:42] <ilovefairuz> Meway: write your question in detail and if anyone knows they'll help
[04:42] <Meway> I feel like a robot is talking to me
[04:42] <ipc> lol
[04:42] <Meway> ok ilovefairuz
[04:42] <Meway> ...
[04:42] <zerothis> I seem to be stuck between versions. Everything _says_ 10.04 but every thing _is_ 9.10 (mostly). Any apt install/update/upgrade wants to remove and add 1000s of packages but they all fail
[04:42] <ilovefairuz> !ops | for the second time volunteers here are being insulted
[04:42] <mlmg317-himts> bofh80: Yes - you were right.  I did also just bookmark the Ubuntu webpage mentioned by "coz_".  Exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks for all your help !!!
[04:42] <ipc> Thats why i swear, so you dont htink im a bot
[04:42] <bofh80> Tomwa: you should be able to mount and identify by loading the normal live cd and lookin in the System > Administration > partition editor
[04:42] <ipc> ;)
[04:42] <mlmg317-himts> coz_: Yes - you have provided me all the information I was looking for.  Thank you !!!
[04:43]  * ipc tap's his head
[04:43] <ipc> always thinkging
[04:43] <maco> ilovefairuz: what?
[04:43] <coz_> mlmg317-himts,  no problem..enjoy virus scanning at its best :)
[04:43] <Meway> I am having issues with file sharing ( pretty self explanitory) files are not showing up in the file share (windows side). The file is set up for filesharing (linux/ubuntu side)
[04:43]  * ipc pee's on maco
[04:43] <maco> ipc: you again?
[04:43] <ipc> lol
[04:43] <ilovefairuz> maco: scroll up and read ipc's, collabra's and Meway's messages
[04:43] <Meway> I have used file sharing before so I know im looking in the correct places
[04:44] <maco> ipc: how many times do you need to be told your language is unacceptable?
[04:44] <ipc> lol
[04:44] <coz_> Meway,  again just to have a cross / solution option   join ##linux channel as well
[04:44] <Blue1> Meway: follow the link here, might help.  http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=309

[04:44] <ilovefairuz> this is ridiculous

[04:44] <Blue1> bofh80: is pez a word?
[04:45] <bofh80> you aint getting me that easy
[04:45] <Meway> Blue1: thanks :) reading
[04:45] <Blue1> Meway: easiet way I know of - hope that helps
[04:46] <coz_> Meway,   looks like we woke some people up :)
[04:46] <sacarlson> Meway: this is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file I use that works for me to share with windows http://paste.ubuntu.com/476738/
[04:47] <sacarlson> coz_ all they have to do is ask
[04:47] <Meway> sacarlson: if all else fails I will try that
[04:47] <coz_> sacarlson,   this is so true
[04:47] <maco> Blue1: pez is a candy
[04:48] <Blue1> maco: but is it a name?
[04:48] <ZEKnox> what can be done do speed up X11 forwarding?
[04:48] <whompapotamus> Blue1: No more a name than "fo-shizzle"
[04:49] <ilovefairuz> ZEKnox: -C (for compression)
[04:49] <Blue1> whompapotamus: ;-p~
[04:49] <Meway> omg worst fail ever.
[04:49] <biodegabriel> Anyone know which compilers to use for Ubuntu 10.04? I  am trying to install NGINX and I keep getting permission and 'bad compiler' errors. I've reinstall about 8 times already... :(
[04:49] <ZEKnox> ilovefairuz: that alone makes it alot better?
[04:49] <coz_> biodegabriel,  gcc
[04:49] <biodegabriel> apt-get install gcc?
[04:49] <biodegabriel> any version?
[04:49] <ilovefairuz> ZEKnox: network performance-wise, yes
[04:49] <Meway> I forgot to install samba on this machine. I did it on the other one but forgot to on this machine >_<
[04:49] <coz_> biodegabriel,  it should be installed however   sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:50] <biodegabriel> coz_ That's what I've been doing. My Ubuntu install is really bare. I'm on a cloud server.
[04:50] <ilovefairuz> biodegabriel: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:50] <ZEKnox> ilovefairuz: how do you feel about changing the encryption to blowfish?
[04:50] <coz_> biodegabriel,  mmmm
[04:50] <bofh80> ZEKnox: NX nomachine.com and freenx server (there is free server from nomachine but it has concurrent usage limitations) it's 'enhanced' X forwarding / XDMCP . it might suit your needs
[04:50] <biodegabriel> coz_ I've been using build-essential, but I think the problem is with pcre?
[04:51] <coz_> biodegabriel,  ooo   then I am not sure   gcc is the compiler you want to use
[04:51] <ZEKnox> bofh80: my laptop is out of the state, can I install that only ssh access
[04:51] <whompapotamus> ZEKnox: Yes
[04:51] <johny-b-goode> Hello People.
[04:51] <ZEKnox> whompapotamus:  bofh80  thank you guys for you suggestion, I may try that out
[04:52] <johny-b-goode> after a system update on netbuntu, mplayer doesn't play audio in movies.
[04:52] <coz_> ok guys... it is nearly midnight here ... i am tired  so I am off for the night... do well   ...be nice   night
[04:52] <biodegabriel> coz_ so if i do install gcc after 'build essential' will it replace the other one? Here's what I've been doing: http://pastie.org/1087545
[04:52] <ilovefairuz> ZEKnox: the major issue with X (and forwarding) most toolkits talk synchronously to the server (not async even though it's supported) and that hogs up the network, if you have capable machines crypto choices won't matter much
[04:52] <biodegabriel> coz_ don't worry about it. have a good night. :)
[04:53] <johny-b-goode> launching mplayer filename -ao alsa works tho.
[04:53] <biodegabriel> i'm ready to try another flavour of linux... :(
[04:53] <blag> i am apparently incapable of doing a packaging request on launchpad.  does anybody know the exact url for reporting a bug?
[04:53] <ZEKnox> ilovefairuz: good point.  I would normally setup better methods than X forwarding, but right now I'm in a jam and its the only option.  The laptop is out of state
[04:53] <naptastic> Is there a way that I can stop Ubuntu from making that damnable drumming sound when it first boots and displays the login screen?
[04:53] <whompapotamus> biodegabriel: Reason?
[04:53] <bofh80> ZEKnox: pop on freenx from the repos' and install the client from nomachine on your end .   oh freenx removed from repo's ? i swear it was there before
[04:53] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus, can't install nginx, tried about 20 times.
[04:54] <ilovefairuz> ZEKnox: the NX protocol (and it's Free implementations like neatx) offer the most bandwidth savings but they are more of a hassle to set up, X forwarding is simple and good enough
[04:54] <tonsofpcs> how do I make a machine fsck on reboot?
[04:54] <abhijit> Good Morning! :)
[04:54] <naptastic> biodegabriel, installing the build-essential package will install gcc. So if you then try to install gcc, you will find it already installed.
[04:55] <IdleOne> biodegabriel: sudo apt-get install nginx doesn't work?
[04:55] <tonsofpcs> the free implementations are more than 'a hassle' to set up, they're near impossible.  Video editing on linux is easier.
[04:55] <biodegabriel> i need to compile it for passenger, can i pass special arguments to 'apt-get'?
[04:55] <abhijit> !fsck | tonsofpcs
[04:55] <tonsofpcs> thanks abhijit
[04:55] <whompapotamus> biodegabriel: Download the source and built it yourself
[04:56] <four2zero_ubu> well i just figured it out....System>Preferences>Networking tool is a piece of crap..." why do they install useless tools that don't work.? Only way of getting my network online is by doing a simple command: sudo dhclient eth0
[04:56] <biodegabriel> tried that. still get 'bad compiler' and permission errors.
[04:56] <Tadpole_Jackson> I have a dell latitude d630 running the newest 64bit ubuntu, it has a docking station that contains a pci ati radeon 9250, i wish to hook this docking station to a television set. how well will ubuntu handle such a thing when i dock or undock the machine from the station?
[04:56] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus, doesn't matter which version either.
[04:56] <johny-b-goode> nevermind.
[04:56] <johny-b-goode> fixed that.
[04:56] <naptastic> Four2zero, did you try left-clicking the network icon in your system tray and clicking the interface you wanted to bring up?
[04:56] <naptastic> oops
[04:57] <naptastic> four2zero_ubu, did you try left-clicking the network icon in your system tray and clicking the interface you wanted to bring up?
[04:57] <biodegabriel> IdleOne whompapotamus, I basically use a clean install, download the source, and it won't "./configure"
[04:57] <sacarlson> four2zero_ubu: I thought you wanted a static address?
[04:57] <Enigmati1Coder> When a .deb file has dependencies, how do you list and install those dependent packages?
[04:57] <naptastic> biodegabriel, why does it fail to ./configure?
[04:57] <four2zero_ubu> naptastic yes, i tried that method after i used the manual command, but then it disconnected the wired eth0.
[04:57] <naptastic> biodegabriel, does it give you an error? What does it say?
[04:57] <whompapotamus> biodegabriel: Never really tried nginx - will have to someday - looks sweet
[04:57] <four2zero_ubu> sacarlson: i do.
[04:57] <biodegabriel> naptastic, it says http://pastie.org/1087553
[04:58] <naptastic> four2zero_ubu, ok. (I'm not much of a fan of NetworkManager either.)
[04:58] <four2zero_ubu> but its not working
[04:58] <biodegabriel> i looked at the permission, they're fine. executable and everything.
[04:58] <Enigmati1Coder> how about the owner
[04:58] <sacarlson> four2zero_ubu: so you didn't modify the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[04:58] <ilovefairuz> Tadpole_Jackson: only one way to truly know ...
[04:58] <Enigmati1Coder> When a .deb file has dependencies, how do you list and install those dependent packages?
[04:59] <biodegabriel> Enigmati1Coder, i did it both as root, and as admin, changed both permissions, nothing works.
[04:59] <whompapotamus> biodegabriel: So you are having permission issues - create a fakeroot environment and try to compile that way
[04:59] <biodegabriel> very mysterious
[04:59] <lolmac> how do i enable the delete confirmation when deleting a file? the rm -i isn't just supposed to be used in terminal?
[04:59] <naptastic> biodegabriel, it's probably complaining about the module you're trying to add. Did you try "sudo ./configure"?
[04:59] <abhijit> Enigmati1Coder, apt-get build-dep
[04:59] <ilovefairuz> Enigmati1Coder: sudo gdebi file.deb
[04:59] <biodegabriel> naptastic: yeah, i tried sudo, and it just says 'permission error'
[04:59] <Enigmati1Coder> ty both
[04:59] <Niglop> my speakers are making a constant 'eh eh eh eh eh' sound, what could be causing this?
[05:00] <Enigmati1Coder> ilovefairuz: to be sure, that will install them automatically?
[05:00] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus: i don't know how to do that.... could you explain? :)
[05:00] <four2zero_ubu> sacarlson: yes i did: http://pastebin.com/RJU3Tzz6
[05:00] <Tadpole_Jackson> ilovefairuz: i'm not going to bother bringing this docking station home if i don't know if it'll work
[05:00] <Tadpole_Jackson> somebody has got to use linux with docking stations
[05:00] <Tadpole_Jackson> somebody here
[05:00] <abhijit> wht is dockin g station? Tadpole_Jackson
[05:00] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus: or maybe i'll just google that.
[05:01] <naptastic> biodegabriel, have you tried ./configure without the options? (And where did you get those options? making the prefix anywhere in /opt is not a standard procedure.)
[05:01] <sacarlson> four2zero_ubu:  looks good so at reboot or restart network it should work
[05:01] <ilovefairuz> Enigmati1Coder: that works when you're trying to install a single .deb file and you want deps to be resolved and installed automatically, apt-get build-dep installs the packages that are need to BUID/compile the package, not run it
[05:01] <whompapotamus> biodegabriel: http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/Linux/fakeroot.1.html
[05:01] <biodegabriel> naptastic yup. no luck.
[05:01] <four2zero_ubu> will try brb, restart.
[05:01] <Blue1> wow -- they fixed 16,000 bugs in kde?
[05:02] <Niglop> my speakers are making a constant 'eh eh eh eh eh' sound, what could be causing this?
[05:02] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus:  so i would do  'fakeroot ./configure'?
[05:02] <ilovefairuz> Enigmati1Coder: what are you trying to accomplish?
[05:02] <naptastic> biodegabriel, that's bizarre. Was nginx intended for use with a different distribution?
[05:02] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus: naptastic still get "/usr/bin/fakeroot: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied"
[05:02] <naptastic> Niglop, no idea. sorry.
[05:03] <dontbuy> it's called the dark-heart mobo
[05:03] <dontbuy> asrock?
[05:03] <dontbuy> foxconn?
[05:04] <ilovefairuz> Niglop: probably a stuck music player or the flash plugin
[05:04] <Niglop> hmm
[05:04] <ilovefairuz> Niglop: close any browsers and any music/video applications
[05:04] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus, IdleOne naptastic:  it's really weird, cause everything else installs properly. only nginx doesn't want to install. i'll keep at it. Thanks for the tips you guys!
[05:04] <maco> Tadpole_Jackson: i suspect they work since i know some linux-only OEMs that sell machines with them, but its possible there are ones that dont, i guess...
[05:04] <AndrewMC> Niglop: Tried restarting??
[05:04] <lolmac> how do i enable the delete confirmation when deleting a file? the rm -i isn't just supposed to be used in terminal?
[05:05] <rebirth> does anyone know any linux software to transfer songs from an ipod touch to harddisk?
[05:05] <monokrome> Hi. I have no sound in OpenBox
[05:05] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus: IdleOne naptastic Does it matter that i did 'su - root' ? Is that not the same as logging in as root?
[05:05] <naptastic> biodegabriel, "su -" is the same as logging in as root.
[05:05] <monokrome> because alsa is defaulting to my Intel audio card, but I would like it to use my SoundBlaster XFi
[05:05] <ilovefairuz> lolmac: system > preferences > file management > behavior
[05:05] <biodegabriel> naptastic: OK
[05:05] <sacarlson> lolmac: I just sudo rm -r badfiles.*
[05:05] <Niglop> nop
[05:05] <Niglop> ill restart
[05:05] <monokrome> if I run alsamixer -c 2 it shows the alsa card, but alsamixer -D 2 says it's not available?
[05:06] <bofh80> monokrome: do you have both cards on for a reason? ie can't you disable the onboard one in the bios ?
[05:06] <ilovefairuz> !ipod > rebirth
[05:06] <ZEKnox> with 10.04 how do I crash X to get to the console?
[05:06] <monokrome> bofh80: I would rather not
[05:07] <monokrome> I use it for testing on one of my personal projects: http://github.com/monokrome/openal-source/
[05:07] <lolmac> ilovefairuz: does that work?
[05:07] <ilovefairuz> ZEKnox: why crash it? ctrl + alt + f2 to get a console and f7 to get X back
[05:07] <dooler> yes
[05:07] <dooler> it works
[05:08] <ilovefairuz> lolmac: there are preferences there to enable confirmations (but only in the gui file manager)
[05:08] <ZEKnox> ilovefairuz: i pressed those, and it didn't go to the console, my pc must be froze
[05:08] <lolmac> thanks
[05:08] <whompapotamus> biodegabriel: su means to switch user - you passed it root - you then are root
[05:08] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus: OK thx
[05:08] <litropy> peeps, what's the command for ubuntu's theme manager? ubuntu-netbook can't find it.
[05:08] <biodegabriel> whompapotamus: i'm going to try with karmic. lucid is maybe too cutting edge for nginx? LOL
[05:08] <rebirth> !ipod > rebirth
[05:08] <litropy> so i'll just use the command line, because I know it's there
[05:08] <litropy> !theme
[05:09] <lolmac> ilovefairuz: i think there is a bug, the option is available but it doesn't work
[05:09] <litropy> !theme-manager
[05:09] <lolmac> what file manager you use?
[05:09] <litropy> !ubuntu-theme
[05:09] <ilovefairuz> ZEKnox: ctrl + alt + print screen/sysreq key + k
[05:09]  * monokrome uses rox-filer
[05:09] <litropy> drats
[05:09] <litropy> what's it called!
[05:09] <bofh80> monokrome: i haven't looked for the latest versions, but changing the 'default' card usually requires editing the alsa conf . but with your programming skills and this setup i'd assume you'd know that?
[05:10] <ilovefairuz> lolmac: nautilus, how to you delete things?
[05:10] <litropy> baaaaah
[05:10] <monokrome> bofh80: Sure, but I don't know where those files are. There's no alsa files in /etc/
[05:10] <Niglop> kk i restarted my computer and it fixed it
[05:10] <lolmac> ilovefairuz: when i press delete it moves automatically the file to the trash
[05:10] <rebirth> ilovefairuz: what i'm looking to do isn't add music to my ipod, but go the other way and take music off of an ipod. i know there is windows software that does this but i don't know any on linux
[05:10] <lolmac> my keyboard is buggy so it deletes stuff automatically
[05:10] <ZEKnox> ilovefairuz: I already powered off the machine, but I will try that one next time, thanks
[05:10] <litropy> how do I run theme prefs!
[05:11] <litropy> !theme-panel
[05:11] <xangua> litropy: ¿
[05:11] <ilovefairuz> lolmac: this is not "delete" it's just moving to trash, press shit
[05:11] <ilovefairuz> lolmac: sorry, shift + del key
[05:11] <tonsofpcs> ugh, managed to somehow corrupt grub... booting with bt4 and fscking from there
[05:12] <litropy> k I'll ask later seeya guys
[05:12] <bofh80> monokrome: maybe in /etc/pulse :S . i'd hate this pulse thing lol. i don't quite understand if it's supposed to fully replace alsa
[05:13] <monokrome> bofh80: I immediately remove pulse audio after installing Ubuntu.
[05:13] <maco> bofh80: its a layer on top of alsa
[05:13] <monokrome> and it "wraps" alsa
[05:13] <maco> bofh80: pulse does not contain drivers. half of alsa is drivers. half is a set of over-engineered low-level libraries that application developers tend to use wrongly :P
[05:14] <bofh80> monokrome: /etc/modprobe.d/alsablah balh :)
[05:14] <tonsofpcs> meh, screwed up the whole thing... need to figure out how to clone one machine to the other
[05:14] <bofh80> i love synaptic
[05:14] <ilovefairuz> tonsofpcs: what's your issue with grub?
[05:14] <Niglop> how can I make xchat start at startup?
[05:14] <monokrome> bofh80: That just installs alsa manuals. It isn't where I set my default sound card.
[05:15] <tonsofpcs> ilovefairuz: i corrupted my SSD too much, there's nothing critical on this machine (an eeepc) and I have an exact harrdware match that has woring software, gonna just clone the ssd tomorrow (hopefully)

[05:17] <naptastic> Is there a way that I can stop Ubuntu from making that damnable drumming sound when it first boots and displays the login screen?
[05:18] <chek> Hi, my server has been hacked somehow. I'm running 6.06LTS and the latest updates are on it. I'm aware it's a comlex topic but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.  I ran chkrootkit which came back negative. I guess it might have been some php exploit.
[05:18] <ilovefairuz> Niglop: check it's settings panel, i think it has a similar module
[05:18] <Niglop> ilovefairuz» I just want to know if I can add it to my conky script
[05:18] <bofh80> monokrome: if memory serves this index feature can control which sound card is loaded first, but you'll have to look up the details
[05:18] <ilovefairuz> Niglop: try: xchat &
[05:18] <chek> They injected in many index.php some iframe right after the body tag:
[05:18] <chek> <iframe src='http://SerFinWorld.com/spm1/' width='0' height='0' frameborder='0'></iframe>
[05:18] <Niglop> thnx ilovefairuz
[05:18] <monokrome> bofh80: Thanks
[05:18] <monokrome> I'll look into that
[05:19] <four2zero_ubu> well, when i restarted with static ip configured, network manager did see it as <IP_ADDRESS> connected successfully, but no websites could be found.
[05:19] <LinuxFetus> Hey what's the recommended PDF editor for Ubuntu?
[05:19] <ilovefairuz> chek: they probably exploited a php script
[05:19] <LinuxFetus> Oh, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32 bit, if that is relevant.
[05:20] <tim> hey I have a windows Vista computer I am trying to share files with Ubuntu 10.04 computer, I had them sharing at one point but I try to put the user name and password in on ubuntu and it doesn't let me in. is there something i'm missing?
[05:20] <LinuxFetus> tim: Are you connecting them via an Ethernet cable or what?
[05:20] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: I've used pdfedit - it was acceptable
[05:20] <four2zero_ubu> but when i changed via network connections, and selecting the IPv4 settings tab > Method back to Automatic addresses only, i am able to get online.
[05:21] <dontbuy> i can run them at once, both 32-bit and 64-bit
[05:21] <monokrome> bofh80: These index= values aren't related to the default card. The are for disabling certain modules from being used as the default.
[05:21] <four2zero_ubu> having dhcp give me an ip, rather than setting static ip.
[05:21] <bofh80> monokrome: right, so can't you do that for your intel card?
[05:21] <tim> LinuxFetus, linux fetus funny.... wireless network. I have all of my computers on the WORKGROUP
[05:21] <monokrome> bofh80: There's a proper way to do this :/ I should probably try #also though
[05:22] <ilovefairuz> chek: check the versions of any cms or forum software you're using
[05:22] <chek> i'll check silverstipe cms and a froum but is there any way to trace their entry point?
[05:23] <bofh80> monokrome: i don't understand why it's not proper, you don't want your intel card to be used as default, so you mark it up here as such. if you find a better way pls let me know :) it is something that crops up from time to time
[05:24] <monokrome> bofh80: Because that disables my intel card completely I think
[05:24] <bofh80> # Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
[05:25] <bofh80> is the comment at the bottom. seems to be the right way
[05:25] <ilovefairuz> chek: most of this stuff is done by automated scripts now, so probably no one logged in at all, I suggest you restore a clean backup, and upgrade any software you have
[05:25] <monokrome> then I guess I just need to figure out what module the intel one is :/
[05:25] <sacarlson> four2zero_ubu: so at reboot it still fails to have your static address?
[05:26] <bofh80> monokrome: lsmod is a good start i guess
[05:26] <four2zero_ubu> yep, once i set the static ip, after reboot it will show in tray area wired connected but no online,
[05:26] <monokrome> true
[05:27] <LinuxFetus> jasonjang: Is it normal for PDFedit to constantly freeze?
[05:27] <sacarlson> four2zero_ubu: at that point what did route show?
[05:27] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: no - what does top show?
[05:27] <four2zero_ubu> sacarlson: i dont know !
[05:28] <four2zero_ubu> i think nothing.
[05:28] <LinuxFetus> jasonwryan: Top...?  Do you mean the menu bar?  Title bar?
[05:28] <bofh80> LinuxFetus: thanks for the LOL. seriously i laughed man. PDF = Adobe = Freeze lol. no seriously is it a  fresh document your doing or opening an exiting pdf
[05:28] <four2zero_ubu> but when i did ipconfig, it was configured properly.
[05:28] <four2zero_ubu> just like know.
[05:28] <four2zero_ubu> now
[05:28] <sacarlson> four2zero_ubu: I asume networkmanager is overwriting something at boot.  like your /etc/resolve.conf
[05:28] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: no, the command - it shows what's using your CPU...
[05:28] <four2zero_ubu> prob.
[05:29] <LinuxFetus> jasonwryan: Oh, do I type in "top" into the terminal?
[05:29] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: if pdfedit is misbehaving...
[05:29] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: yes
[05:29] <bofh80> resolv.conf will get overwritting periodically if dhcp is on, even if it's not used . LOLz .
[05:29] <LinuxFetus> bofh80: Yeah, it's an existing PDF... that was probably made by an automated process.
[05:29] <bofh80> LinuxFetus: try messing about with a fresh document to see if the same stuff starts happening
[05:30] <sacarlson> four2zero_ubu:  I just kill networkmanager when I setup a manual static conection
[05:30] <bofh80> you can also try copying the entire docuemtn into a fresh one
[05:30] <monokrome> bofh80: Alsa doesn't know about my XFi if I use options snd-hda-intel index=-2
[05:30] <bofh80> monokrome: oh wow, that's a turn up for the books. i've only seen this used for exact reason you are . lol
[05:30] <monokrome> bofh80: The annoying thing is that sound works in gnome but not in openbox
[05:31] <bofh80> monokrome: is openbox code maintained ?
[05:31] <four2zero_ubu> etc/resolv.conf: http://pastebin.com/2GEAitZ1
[05:31] <LinuxFetus> jasonwryan: I can't seem to copy the output of top into a pastebin.
[05:32] <bofh80> monokrome: ie, you sure it doesn't want OSS or something? there's an alsa-oss package
[05:32] <sacarlson> rour2zero_ub:  i use a script like this  http://paste.ubuntu.com/476753/
[05:32] <ilovefairuz> chek: to nullify the malware addresses inside php and html pages use (as root) :  grep -PRsil SerFinWorld  /path/to/phpfiles/  | xargs sed -i 's,SerFinWorld,,g'
[05:32] <monokrome> bofh80: Shouldn't matter. It's just a window manager.
[05:32] <LinuxFetus> jasonwryan: But pdfedit is taking up 98% of my CPU it says.
[05:32] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: no problem: is pdfedit in there?
[05:32] <bofh80> monokrome: wait, i'm off track a little, i take it you get sound output on your intel in openbox?
[05:32] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: well, Houston, we have a problem...
[05:33] <LinuxFetus> jasonwryan: Yeah it was listed (I just force quit-ed it).
[05:33] <whompapotamus> chek: Are you running apache?
[05:33] <monokrome> bofh80: Not sure. I'll check.
[05:33] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: apt-get remove pdfedit and try one of the others...
[05:33] <john38> can somebody help me
[05:33] <bofh80> ask away john38
[05:34] <john38> How do they make cds and dvds at factory cause when i burn it always has scratches
[05:34] <dontbuy> you mom told you to leave her house?
[05:34] <monokrome> bofh80: Nope
[05:34] <monokrome> hmm
[05:34] <john38> very light scratches
[05:34] <DasEi> check: or sanbox it in any way, least vm, better apache with patch
[05:34] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-pdf-editing-tools-for-ubuntu.html
[05:34] <dontbuy> this is so...
[05:35] <bofh80> john38: your dvd drive is faulty . . or very dirty  . . surely
[05:35] <marc__> hola?
[05:35] <monokrome> so I have no sound in openbox
[05:35] <monokrome> :|
[05:35] <ilovefairuz> !es | marc__
[05:35] <marc__> holaa?
[05:35] <bofh80> monokrome: it's a step up from screwing with alsa :D
[05:35] <bofh80> monokrome: try installing alsa-oss package / humour me :P
[05:35] <monokrome> it's installed
[05:35] <DasEi> john38: slightly ot , but there are (more expensive) cd's better protected against surface-errors
[05:35] <bofh80> oh
[05:36] <bofh80> strange then. hope it doesn't want esound eyy lol
[05:36] <monokrome> Shouldn't matter. I'm testing sound output with Pandora
[05:36] <john38> bofh80, im not saying its scratched up but almost visible light light scratches that maybe accompanies the burn process
[05:36] <john38> DasEi, i just bought verbatim dvds they are more clear than others
[05:37] <john38> DasEi, could that be it
[05:37] <bofh80> ok verbatim suck
[05:37] <john38> bofh80, verbatim suck your crazy
[05:37] <goten> metalbig
[05:37] <john38> bofh80, their that best ones
[05:37] <dontbuy> dvd/blu-ray has no future
[05:37] <bofh80> try datawrite titanium or something similar
[05:37] <dontbuy> everybody uses a 1 or 2 tb hdd
[05:37] <Michael13guy> is this the channel for help lol ima nub
[05:37] <whompapotamus> Imation all the way!
[05:37] <john38> bofh80, whats that
[05:37] <ilovefairuz> !details | Michael13guy
[05:38] <goten> how to set home parameter to your JVM parameters
[05:38] <maco> Michael13guy: yes this is the place to get help
[05:38] <Michael13guy> well i have a problem with getting my mic to work with skype lol
[05:38] <control_> What is the easiest ftp server for ubuntu server to setup and use?  GUI!
[05:38] <LinuxFetus> jasonwryan: I'm fairly certain that a human being did not make the PDF file.  It's a sheet music file for my band and I'm pretty sure the leader has a program which allows him to specify a key and then it generates the file... And my knowledge of files made like that tell me that 1) there's usually a lot of overhead (think of exporting a Word document as an HTML file in Word) and 2) may have some measures to keep from editing it -- I
[05:38] <LinuxFetus> 'm just trying to write some notes on it :/  I could always open it in GIMP, I guess... I just figured editing a PDF would be less memory intensive....
[05:38] <maco> john38: think you could stay on topic a bit better?
[05:38] <DasEi> john38: as said, not ubuntu-related, but you can google for cd's with extra-protection for special purposes like long-term backups, they have specialized ones concerning mechanical/optical ((sun)) resistance
[05:38] <maco> control_: gui? servers arent guis...
[05:38] <jaybird> #ubuntu-helpteam
[05:38] <control_> GUI to control it
[05:38] <maco> oh.... er..
[05:39] <control_> or setup the configue
[05:39] <control_> config*
[05:39] <maco> control_: ive never heard of using a gui to configure an ftp server, but there are GUIs for using ftp...
[05:39] <john38> DasEi, ok so what is the best datawritten titanium?
[05:39] <control_> like gadmin...
[05:39] <john38> Maco, sorry
[05:39] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: there is DRM for some pdf files: that could be the source of your problems...
[05:39] <control_> so if i install any ftp server i HAVE to edit text files for users and config etc?
[05:39] <whompapotamus> control_: I you need GUI - get webmin
[05:39] <Michael13guy> anyone help me with getting my mic to work with skype please lol
[05:40] <control_> webmin?
[05:40] <maco> control_: believe so...
[05:40] <bofh80> john38: please stop asking in this channel, you might get in trouble, datawrite is the brand, titanium is one of their ranges. best on the market for a decent price
[05:40] <ilovefairuz> !sound > Michael13guy
[05:40] <whompapotamus> control_: Vsftp is the best
[05:40] <maco> control_: webmin's not supported on ubuntu
[05:40] <control_> ok
[05:40] <control_> so vsftp it is?
[05:40] <goten> can anyone tel me how to set home parameter to my JVM parameters
[05:40] <maco> whompapotamus: what makes it best? i see references to it on redhat stuff, but i always jsut use the ftp server thats built into openssh-server
[05:40] <john38> bofh80, ok thanks i'll leave
[05:40] <maco> !webmin
[05:41] <control_> ok so i install it through ubuntu software center and then do ???
[05:41] <maco> !ebox | control_ this is the closest thing to webmin we have
[05:41] <LinuxFetus> jasonwryan: You're probably right; I will try the GIMP route...
[05:41] <control_> omg, so vsftp OR this ebox thing?
[05:41] <jasonwryan> LinuxFetus: good luck!
[05:41] <maco> control_: ebox isnt an ftp server
[05:41] <whompapotamus> maco: It's very flexible - all cli though
[05:41] <maco> control_: ebox is a configuration tool
[05:42] <goten> How to compile and deploy Unicorn on ubuntu 10.04
[05:42] <control_> config tool for a ftp server?
[05:42] <monokrome> bofh80: I tried a .asoundrc file, like so: http://dpaste.com/227852/
[05:42] <maco> control_: i use openssh-server to get sftp going.  the config file is pretty straightforward, in my opinion
[05:42] <rtfm> anybody from brazil?
[05:42] <maco> control_: config tool for "stuff"... i dont know what stuff. you asked about webmin, and i said ebox is the closest thing we have to webmin
[05:42] <ilovefairuz> !br | Guest99877
[05:42] <bofh80> monokrome: omg that's so simple
[05:42] <control_> no i asked what is the easiest ftp server to setup in ubuntu server
[05:43] <maco> control_: and then you asked about webmin...
[05:43] <control_> because someone said it when i asked for a ftp
[05:43] <control_> omg
[05:43] <control_> 5 different people said 5 diff things
[05:43] <monokrome> bofh80: Well, it doesn't work because there's no /etc/asound.conf and that's where you usually put it for alsa when it's not set up per-user
[05:43] <ilovefairuz> control_: that's the case with gnu/linux, so many options, try each and pick whatever works for you
[05:44] <bofh80> control_: then i will second vsftp install it then edit /etc/vsftpd.conf and read the comments to enable what you need
[05:44] <maco> control_: okfine.... vsftpd and openssh-server are probably the most common ones, and probably for good reason
[05:44] <bofh80> monokrome: another ubuntu special : P
[05:44] <control_> ok i just installed vsftp, i have to now edit the .conf file and boom restart and it works?
[05:44] <maco> (i never really figured out why i should bother with vsftpd when the openssh one is already there...)
[05:44] <maco> control_: should be it
[05:45] <control_> openssh one is where?
[05:45] <monokrome> so where is Ubuntu's asound.conf?!
[05:45] <bofh80> control_: yes, especially note the options about anonymous access and LOcal User access
[05:45] <monokrome> and why doesn't alsa-utils come with half the utils
[05:45] <control_> i installed ubuntu server with lamp
[05:45] <maco> control_: if you're using ubuntu server, openssh-server is part of the default install, i think
[05:45] <maco> control_: that gets you both sshd and sftpd
[05:46] <saravan> hi i have installed vlc media player fr ubuntu 9.10 but its not visible any where in the system
[05:46] <DasEi> john38: join #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[05:46] <control_> ok so how do i set it up to work?
[05:46] <control_> is there a control panel for that?
[05:46] <whompapotamus> maco: Vsftp is a bear to configure but does straight FTP the best - manage users without having to create shell access (or users without shell access)
[05:46] <bofh80> there's also this monokrome (Doesn't look much use) - /usr/share/alsa-base/alsa.default
[05:46] <maco> whompapotamus: if control_ is asking for the *easiest* and vsftpd is "a bear to configure" then why suggest it?
[05:47] <control_> lol
[05:47] <whompapotamus> maco: Webmin makes it a breeze - not sure about box
[05:47] <whompapotamus> Ebox
[05:47] <maco> whompapotamus: webmin also breaks ubuntu's config files
[05:47] <abhijit> saravan, can you run it from terminal by typing vlc?
[05:48] <control_> but someone said webmin isnt supported
[05:48] <saravan> abhijit, sure give me two seconds
[05:49] <Stale_> Hello everbody, what is the most stable ubuntu version?
[05:49] <saravan> abhijit, VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye
[05:49] <maco> control_: which is why its not supported ;-) because of breaking config files
[05:49] <saravan> [0x9755d98] main interface error: no interface module matched "screensaver,none"
[05:49] <saravan> [0x9755d98] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[05:49] <saravan> [0x96c93e8] main libvlc error: interface "screensaver,none" initialization failed
[05:49] <bofh80> control_: sudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf and the ssh server is working out of the box but you can configure it. again they suggested this ebox for easy config, but i have no knowledge of it
[05:49]  * maco grrrrs at bandwidth
[05:49] <saravan> [0x96c93e8] main libvlc error: option drawable-xid does not exist
[05:49] <FloodBot2> saravan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:49] <saravan> [0x9759a28] main interface error: no interface module matched "globalhotkeys,none"
[05:49] <whompapotamus> control_: Correct - just learned that tonight (run slackware but provide support for new users fro time to time)
[05:49] <maco> !paste | saravan
[05:49] <monokrome> bofh80: I think this should fix it. http://dpaste.com/227854/
[05:49] <s_fox> is there any message about 10.10?
[05:49] <maco> control_: im trying to view my config on my server...but lag is being annoying...hang on
[05:50] <abhijit> saravan, try reinstalling it first do sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc and then sudo apt-get install vlc
[05:50] <monokrome> bofh80: Yep. That fixed it.
[05:50] <adam45g> Downloaded Chrome x64 from there site (for the built in flash goodness) and the built in flash doesn't work :o
[05:50] <bofh80> monokrome: ahh back to the alsabase? eek. restarting alsa should do it. no need to reboot ??
[05:50] <bofh80> nice
[05:50] <monokrome> Yep. Restarting alsa fixed it.
[05:50] <monokrome> It wasn't even loading the XFi module
[05:51] <Stale_> Do anyone knows a link to all (stable) versions of Ubuntu installers?
[05:51] <adam45g> Anyone tried Chrome (not chromium) in x64 and found a way to make the built in flash work?
[05:51] <saravan> abhijit, its showing vlc not installed
[05:51] <bofh80> i'll try to remember how that works . 0 is 1, 1 is 2 . love programmers logic
[05:51] <abhijit> saravan, then install it sudo apt-get install vlc
[05:51] <enav> hi i need information about google maildrive on ubuntu pleas
[05:51] <bofh80> same as the network cards i guess heh
[05:52] <control_> ok i just edited the /etc/vsftpd.conf file...and saved it under sudo....now how do i add users?
[05:52] <saravan> abhijit, command not found
[05:52] <maco> control_: sudo adduser username
[05:52] <control_> just in a regular terminal?
[05:52] <abhijit> saravan, which versino of ubuntu you are using?
[05:52] <bofh80> yup
[05:53] <control_> the user control already exists...
[05:53] <Stale_> "username" is where you name the account.
[05:53] <bofh80> lol
[05:53] <whompapotamus> control_: Make sure you pass the no shell flag
[05:53] <maco> control_: thatd be because you're it ;-)
[05:53] <control_> well...that was easy then
[05:53] <maco> control_: you just need to tell vsftpd that you are a valid user
[05:53] <DasEi> Stale_: best can be a poll, but jaunty,karmic,lucid do all fine, and are , due to time being up , more or less de-bugged,  but concerning new features an speed, the other way around
[05:54] <control_> ok so how do i change home folder and crap
[05:54] <maco> control_: though i suspect it defaults to allowing all non-system users... because defaulting to a whitelist would be rather annoying
[05:54] <monokrome> bofh80: Now for the big test. I just rebooted :|
[05:54] <saravan> abhijit, 9.10
[05:54] <monokrome> Yep. Still works :)
[05:54] <DasEi> Stale_: which purpose ?
[05:54]  * monokrome can watch the IT Crowd happily now!
[05:54] <Michael13guy> how do i pull up the sound settings for xubuntu not ubuntu
[05:54] <bofh80> control_: if you enabled local users in the config and restarted the server !  then you should already be able to ftp as yourself, it's a nice test to check it's working
[05:54] <bofh80> monokrome: eek
[05:55] <abhijit> saravan, then go to applications>software center> and search for term vlc then you can see vlc click on install
[05:55] <control_> I am able to login
[05:55] <maco> control_: users' home directories are listed in /etc/passwd
[05:55] <control_> but I want the home folder NOT to be on the servers main disk
[05:55] <bofh80> monokrome: nice.
[05:55] <maco> control_: oh you want to move /home to a different hard drive?
[05:55] <control_> yes
[05:55] <DasEi> control_: no prob
[05:55] <control_> this is jus a file server
[05:55] <control_> dont want ftp access to the server, just the HD with my files
[05:56] <maco> control_: in that case, you need to put in /etc/fstab the disk/partition on which you do want /home to reside, and migrate the dat
[05:56] <maco> *data
[05:56] <maco> control_: wait what?
[05:56] <Stale_> DasEi: The most stable Ubuntu version as in it will work for most computer machines. I see that Dell PCs hate Linux OS installations.
[05:56] <control_> migrate dat?
[05:56] <DasEi> control_: attach seperate disk, make a dir /home, copy files over if any,  correct fstab, there you go
[05:56] <monokrome> Thanks for your help, bofh80
[05:56] <bofh80> maco: spit out the command to change a users home dir pls :)
[05:56] <control_> what? lol
[05:56] <saravan> abhijit, download started dude
[05:57] <abhijit> saravan, good
[05:57] <bofh80> monokrome: no problem, have fun :)
[05:57] <maco> bofh80: sudo usermod -d $dir  username
[05:57] <DasEi> Stale_: not right in this general way, dell comes with ubuntu preinsatlled in cases, so extra fine supported, dell doesn't sell rubbish
[05:57] <maco> control_: are you trying to put / and /home on separate hard disks or separate machiens?
[05:57] <control_> im not trying to put anything anywhere
[05:57] <saravan> abhijit, thank you im new to linux,,, by the by ru thr on face book
[05:58] <bofh80> control_: setup a user for where you want access too. ie add a user called mydata or another username and then use maco's other command to change where you log into
[05:58] <control_> i just want the damn home root, the only thing you can see when you login to my ftp user, to be right to a external HD
[05:58] <abhijit> saravan, come in pm
[05:58] <maco> control_: then whyd you say you dont want home on the main hard disk? it has to go *somewhere*
[05:58] <DasEi> Stale_: most hardware can be supported in linix, if you compare to win, the variety is much bigger
[05:58] <control_> Home folder
[05:58] <^cheeky> electronics
[05:58] <control_> not HOME as in the linux users home folder
[05:58] <specialbats> So, I'm new to this system, anyone care to walk me through installing Starcraft from a CD rom?  Is there a package for this?
[05:58] <specialbats> I"m on 10.04
[05:59] <bofh80> you add a user, then change the home folder . don't do it for your user obviously
[05:59] <specialbats> 32 bit
[05:59] <adam45g> as a wubi installer user, do I have to fear the update manager trying to update grub?
[05:59] <bofh80> do it for the one you jsut made for instance
[05:59] <^cheeky> specialbats: scII ?
[05:59] <^cheeky> :P
[05:59] <maco> bofh80: oh oh even better:  sudo usermod -md $dir username
[05:59] <specialbats> It's Starcraft the first.
[05:59] <maco> bofh80: that migrates the data for you!
[05:59] <DasEi> adam45g: little, but more defragmentation of the host-filesystem
[05:59] <control_> i'm so confused
[06:00] <specialbats> I wish it was SCII. :D
[06:00] <adam45g> DasEi, I defrag every week :)
[06:00] <control_> on windows you just set the home dir to what you want the user to see...why is this so freakin hard
[06:00] <maco> control_: me too. im not sure what you're trying to do
[06:00] <maco> control_: do you want chrooted ftp'ing?
[06:00] <control_> ?
[06:01] <bofh80> control_ sudo usermod -d /media/externaldrive  username     (for the user you jsut created, not your user)
[06:01] <control_> i want only a ftp that goes to a external hard drive, nothing else on the servers ubuntu installation
[06:01] <maco> control_:  like where the user sees a fake "system" but its really all just hiding out in a dir on your system
[06:01] <DasEi> !home | control_
[06:01] <DasEi> it's not that hard..
[06:01] <Stale_> DasEi: I must have tried installing a Ubuntu version that was too different from my Dell PC in the wrong way. Okay, I want to know which version number is reported to have the less errors.
[06:01] <whompapotamus> control_: I posted an old vsftp configuration file of mine http://ubuntuone.com/p/CQZ/
[06:01] <maco> DasEi: no control_ is just using funny terminology
[06:01] <DasEi> yupp
[06:01] <control_> i dont want to show the users home dir on linux at all
[06:01] <whompapotamus> control_: May help answer some questions
[06:02] <maco> DasEi: the link you're giving does what he's saying, but its not what he wants
[06:02] <control_> just a ftp that you use to throw files on my external
[06:02] <maco> control_: you want to limit the directories the users can access
[06:02] <control_> yes
[06:02] <control_> to just the external drive
[06:02] <whompapotamus> control_: You can create a mount point anywhere and point vsftp to it
[06:02] <maco> control_: is there something in the config file about restricting ?
[06:03] <control_> and have nothing to do with the linux system
[06:03] <whompapotamus> control_: See the file I posted
[06:03] <control_> how do i point vsftp for this user to just the z drive or whatever
[06:03] <crankharder> anyone know why monit would be giving me this: monit: monit httpd not started since no connect allowed
[06:03] <DasEi> Stale_: If it's a newer dell, I'd use lucid in an alternate-installer cd, and of course mind if 386/with or without pae or 64 bit to take, depending on specs
[06:03] <crankharder> I uncommented the httpd directive in the conf -- but it doesn't work?
[06:03] <maco> control_: maybe this link helps?  http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/vsftp-chroot-users-limit-to-only-their-home-directory.html
[06:04] <maco> control_: well it wont be called z drive... ;-) but set that drive to mount at say.... /media/ftp
[06:04] <DasEi> Stale_: older then 3 years, I'd start with jaunty and dualboot lucid to check
[06:04] <bofh80> maco: yes as long as he changed the home dir with the command u posted. for the user he created. but he's being confused
[06:04] <maco> control_: then set all those users to have /media/ftp/user1 /media/ftp/user2 etc as their home dirs
[06:04] <maco> control_: and then follow that link i sent
[06:05] <control_> How do i do it without changing everyones home dir
[06:05] <control_> i just want to be like in regular windows ftp where you add only the folder you want them to see
[06:05] <control_> like z:/files/
[06:05]  * specialbats is new to the system and would like assistance installing Starcraft from a CD rom in Wine, and is running Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit.
[06:05] <control_> i dont even want to create linux users, just damn ftp users
[06:05] <Stale_> DasEi: ok. I'll try that on my old Dell PC
[06:06] <maco> control_: you want to limit them to a directory OTHER than their home one?
[06:06] <control_> yes
[06:06] <control_> its just to login, and upload files to the external drive
[06:06] <control_> thats it
[06:06] <DasEi> specialbats: checked #winehq for that app ?
[06:06] <whompapotamus> control_: Charoot
[06:06] <DasEi> !wine
[06:06] <control_> charoot?  no idea what you mean
[06:07] <DasEi> !AppDB > specialbats
[06:07] <whompapotamus> control_: http://ubuntuone.com/p/CQZ/
[06:07] <Michael13guy> how the hell do u pull up sound configuration in xubuntu cant find it anywhere
[06:07] <teamsilence> #cyanogenmod
[06:07] <maco> control_: there's no difference, by the way. a user is a user is a user.
[06:07] <maco> i dont understand why...
[06:07] <specialbats> Thanks
[06:07] <control_> no im used to there being a windows user, and a ftp user
[06:08] <whompapotamus> control_: That is chroot is like a jail
[06:08] <maco> control_: you're not using windows
[06:08] <control_> like if i install filezilla server on windows, i dont have to create seperate windows users for each ftp user...
[06:08] <bofh80> maco: in typical ftp servers on windows boxes, users on the ftp server are 'virtual'
[06:08] <control_> i know im trying to get the same concept as windows ftp
[06:08] <maco> control_: chroot (whompapotamus spelled wrong) means "change root" literally. it means that the user cannot see what exists on the system outside their chroot
[06:08] <DasEi> specialbats: also use an extar repo for wine, the one coming with ubuntu is fine for little apps, but has nothing to do with wines real possibilities
[06:08] <maco> bofh80: and this isnt windows...
[06:08] <specialbats> I just joined that channel
[06:09] <^cheeky> i have 2 HDD , one 160 GB 7200 RPM and the other 7200RPM 1 TB, i want to have windows and ubuntu 10.04 and i am not sure about the partition , would it be beneficial if installed wind7(SCII)/ubuntu10.04 on the 160 GB and then .. umm just use the TB for storage and sharing files ..
[06:09] <Stale_> DasEi: How good is the WineHQ application for Ubuntu?
[06:09] <specialbats> Ooops, sorry. :3
[06:09] <maco> control_: all i can say then, is "too bad"
[06:09] <whompapotamus> maco: On the iPhone - typing hard - correct - you can jail any user to a specific directory
[06:09] <control_> so in linux i cant just install a ftp server, add a FTP USER, and set his ftp "home dir" (the one he sees when he logs in) to my external drive?
[06:09] <bofh80> maco: it's similar for other networking counterparts
[06:09] <maco> control_: things work differently between "The Windows Way" and "Everything Else"
[06:09] <DasEi> Stale_: depends on prog, some run great, others not at all
[06:09] <bsdfreak> the windows way = point, click and crash
[06:09] <bsdfreak> hehe
[06:10] <control_> well at least the filezilla for windows works for what i need...
[06:10] <specialbats> DasEi: thank you. :3
[06:10] <control_> all i click is add user, then add dir and set it to the home dir...
[06:10] <bofh80> maco: pam, samba, etc etc
[06:10] <maco> control_: why are you so adamantly against there being accounts on the system for the ftp users?
[06:10] <DasEi> specialbats: lucid you said ?
[06:10] <DasEi> specialbats: second, repo coming
[06:10] <control_> seems complicated
[06:10] <maco> bofh80: those also use the system accounts...
[06:10] <Stale_> DasEi: Does the .exe works on WineHQ?
[06:11] <sarge1221> sorry to bust in with a question but does anyone here know much about the programs rkhunter and chkrootkit from ubuntu software center?
[06:11] <maco> control_: id consider it simpler. you dont have to muck about making the same account 2 or 3 times...
[06:11] <whompapotamus> control_: Create an FTP user group - and just add users to the group
[06:11] <DasEi> !appDB > Stale_
[06:11] <bofh80> maco: the question is, why would want to give ftp users 'real' accounts. it's not how ftp works in general across the web
[06:11] <control_> you can do that in filezilla too, with just three clicks lol
[06:11] <maco> bofh80: how is it not, when linux and unix make up the majority of servers on the web?
[06:11] <control_> i just dont understand why it cant just make virtual ftp users
[06:11] <saravan> abhijit,..
[06:12] <Stale_> ubottu: what are the commands to see private message?
[06:12] <DasEi> specialbats: one command, both lines : http://pastebin.com/dkCVwK7E
[06:12] <abhijit> saravan, yes?
[06:12] <maco> control_: look, if you want to use windows, use windows
[06:12] <maco> control_: if you want to use linux, then learn to use linux
[06:12] <control_> so to get vsftp to work like i want it to, i have to create a linux user, change its home dir?
[06:12] <DasEi> specialbats: sudo apt-get update
[06:12] <bofh80> maco: you'll probably find other ftp servers besides vsftp, it's just considered standard really
[06:12] <control_> i just dont see why linux cant do the same simple thing
[06:13] <DasEi> specialbats: sudo apt-get install wine (if not done already)
[06:13] <maco> bofh80: i use openssh's included one
[06:13] <maco> bofh80: its been... a year since i last looked at vsftpd config file
[06:13] <whompapotamus> control_: I challenge any windows FTP server against vsftp :)
[06:13] <control_> all i want is to login to the user i create and see the external drive
[06:13] <control_> well vsftp you just said cant do that...so...
[06:14] <maco> control_: it can limit a user to their home dir
[06:14] <whompapotamus> control_: Follow the commands at the end of the file I posted - and you are set
[06:14] <maco> control_: if you put their home dir on the external, everything's happy
[06:14] <control_> not have to create a actual computer user and change its home dir
[06:14] <maco> control_: well theres no *changing* of home dir necessary if you just set the home dir where you want it to start with
[06:14] <control_> ok
[06:15] <control_> I'm just trying to learn how to do things I did in windows, in linux
[06:15] <sarge1221>  can anyone provide some information on using rkhunter and chkrootkit from ubuntu software center? If this isn't the right place to be asking then help in locating a good irc channel would be much appreciated.
[06:15] <bofh80> http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup-virtual-users-and-directories-in-vsftpd/
[06:16] <bofh80> apparently you can
[06:16] <control_> woo
[06:16] <control_> sounds cool
[06:16] <control_> see you learn something new every day haha
[06:16] <bofh80> the thing with linux you soon learn, is you have to read more, but the end result is better than anything you get in windows :)
[06:16] <DasEi> control_: takes 3 to 6 months afterwards you will wonder how one could stick to this damned slow popupthingys can't configure anything with  :)
[06:17] <T-Co> And you can still get the popuptingys with libnotify \o/
[06:17] <control_> so if i just follow this guide it should work like i want it to
[06:18] <control_> virutal users that are not extra users on the linux itself that go to only one folder in the external drive
[06:18] <litropy> hi, peeps - what's the command to run the themes manager?
[06:19] <control_> crap, problems already
[06:19] <tripelb-live> trying to install 9.04 on a new drive. I have partitioned it. I go into install. I look at the partitions, I say continue. Then it tells me that I havent indicated/established? a root partition. I have absolutely no idea how I would do that. Help. This has been going on for days. I obviously dont know what question to ask. This is the latest "stop point".
[06:19] <DasEi> control_: you can have very fine grained acces control under linux : dir/file wise ,  over the group, the owner, or the filesystem, to call the most standard ones
[06:20] <tripelb-live> I have installed UB many times on a previously used HD
[06:20] <scunizi> tripelb-live: how many partitions did you create?
[06:20] <control_> control@server1:/etc$ sudo htpasswd -c /etc/vsftpd/passwd ftp1
[06:20] <control_> htpasswd: cannot create file /etc/vsftpd/passwd
[06:21] <tripelb-live> scunizi: 6. and it called them sdb1, sdb5..sdb10
[06:21] <control_> Do i need to create the user ftp1 first?
[06:21] <control_> on the system itself?
[06:21] <tjz> hey guys~~
[06:21] <tripelb-live> scunizi: there was no sdb2 etc
[06:22] <scunizi> tripelb-live: why so many? at most you need 3 unless you're trying to set a data partition
[06:23] <tripelb-live> scunizi: there was no indication that I had named them /, /home. /d1, 120disk,/d3, /d4
[06:23] <bofh80> control_: http://www.linuxreaders.com/2010/07/14/virtual-users-on-vsftpd-centos/  this is a little more up to date but centos
[06:23] <Elsalvador> com ingreasr a ubuntu es
[06:23] <gremlin_> hey everyone, anyone know much about apache SSL configuration?
[06:24] <sacarlson> gremlin_: ya some
[06:24] <sarge1221> To follow up on my previous comments i have read the read me files for the programs but would like something more of a explanation on what the log results mean when you use rkhunter or chkrootkit. An avid user of the programs that could spare a moment explaining how to interpret the scan logs would be most helpful.
[06:24] <gremlin_> sacarlson: ah cool, I have 3 IP's, and 3 SSL certificates, I want to use 1 certificate per IP
[06:24] <gremlin_> but have multiple virtualhosts on each IP
[06:24] <gremlin_> if that makes sense
[06:24] <tripelb-live> scunizi: I have a bunch of old drives that I am going to copy out and integrate. Especially one 120 G drive that was indicated as "going bad". those are my data partitions
[06:25] <tripelb-live> scunizi: I've never done this on an ubuntu installation before. I thought it would be a good idea
[06:25] <gremlin_> i've setup the listen for each IP, and created a bunch of virtualhosts.. but it just spews angry errors :(
[06:25] <bofh80> control_: you could also try proftp or pureftp. also supposedly with virtual user support
[06:25] <sacarlson> gremlin_: well I've only setup a single address but can't be much harder
[06:26] <sacarlson> gremlin_: did you try setup a single one first?
[06:26] <gremlin_> yeah thats how it was setup on the old server
[06:26] <gremlin_> used to have 3 VM's for it
[06:26] <litropy> hey, guys - I'm looking for the gnome theme manager and I can't find it, so I'm just looking for the command to run. maverick's search can't find it
[06:27] <tripelb-live> scunizi: how do you indicate a root partition. I thought that was the one I called /  == I didnt do anything for swap though. And how big should the boot partition be?
[06:27] <bazhang> !maverick | litropy
[06:27] <litropy> bazhang, it's the same as lucid
[06:28] <bazhang> litropy, the proper channel is #ubuntu+1 nonetheless
[06:28] <bofh80> litropy: gnome-appearance-properties
[06:28] <gremlin_> sacarlson: Hmm, I just changed something around and it didnt die this time...
[06:28] <sacarlson> gremlin_:  well what errors do we see then.  ok cool
[06:28] <gremlin_> it was a very generic.. non.. useful error, haha
[06:29] <gremlin_> i have been googling it for a while
[06:29] <tripelb-live> scunizi: are we still in process?
[06:30] <sacarlson> gremlin_: oh ya that generic.. non.. error very common...... not
[06:30] <gremlin_> sacarlson: Haha, I had closed the log.. "Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured"
[06:30] <sarge1221> can someone direct me to the proper irc channel for software based questions particularly regarding rkhunter and chkrootkit? This current channel is clearly not even close...
[06:31] <gremlin_> I had certificates configured, but it wasn't happy for some reason
[06:31] <gremlin_> so i removed my IP specific listen lines, and enabled a global listen
[06:32] <sacarlson> gremlin_: well i guess I would need to look at your config to have any hope to help but that would be a security risk
[06:32] <gremlin_> sacarlson: I'll PM you
[06:34] <sarge1221> Can anyone see my messages?
[06:35] <maco> sarge1221: nope, theyre in invisible ink
[06:35] <maco> sarge1221: youre going to want a security channel, i think
[06:35] <maco> sarge1221: ask alis
[06:35] <maco> OH so thats why the channel search bot is named alis! "go ask alis"
[06:38] <hasek79> is there a music player that i can play my mp3s and listen to my ipod like itunes?
[06:39] <hasek79> ????
[06:40] <JackStoner> hey, im trying to play a video from this webpage and it says i need to open it in IE please help..
[06:40] <Wiesshund> hasek79 "ipod like tunes"
[06:40] <control_> Can someone please help, why can't i get this to work?  htpasswd -c /etc/vsftpd/passwd ftp1 and i get htpasswd: cannot create file /etc/vsftpd/passwd
[06:40] <JackStoner> hasek79: banshee or rhythmbox
[06:40] <hasek79> ya sure
[06:41] <sacarlson> hasek79: take a look at rhythmbox
[06:41] <nope> control_: put sudo in front
[06:41] <hasek79> i have rhythmbox and it has way too many bugs
[06:41] <control_> control@server1:~$ sudo htpasswd -c /etc/vsftpd/passwd ftp1
[06:41] <control_> htpasswd: cannot create file /etc/vsftpd/passwd
[06:41] <JackStoner> hasek79: i prefer banshee
[06:41] <Wiesshund> hasek79 lots of mp3 players for linux, but i dont know much about using the ipod in it as far as trying to read itunes stuff
[06:41] <control_> still nothin
[06:41] <RealOpty> vsftpd is a pain...
[06:41] <control_> this is redic
[06:41] <TELL0> hasek79, Why don't you use banshee?
[06:41] <JackStoner> !ipod
[06:41] <control_> 40 fing ways to do one thing...nice
[06:41] <Wiesshund> JackStoner link?
[06:42] <hasek79> im installing it right now to try it
[06:42] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: its in the ubuntu repos
[06:42] <RLindsayIV> w00t
[06:42] <RealOpty> control_, if u want a quick and easy ftpd server use pure-ftpd.
[06:42] <control_> i even created the user, gave him admin, changed his home dir, AND put a password on it
[06:42] <control_> omg
[06:42] <Wiesshund> JackStoner the video is?
[06:42] <control_> so vsftp is useless or?
[06:42] <control_> i was told to follow this guide, and i am...
[06:42]  * RealOpty thinks its crap
[06:42] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: sorry ...here http://www.learntosubnet.com/ipaddressing/IPAddressing_files/intro.htm#nopreload=1&TOCEntry=1
[06:43] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: http://www.learntosubnet.com/License_IPAddressing.htm
[06:43] <Wiesshund> JackStoner lol stupid script, web designer didnt think ahead
[06:43] <control_> so...no one knows what im doing wrong?
[06:43] <RLindsayIV> Quick question: Does anyone here know how to get Openfire running properly on 10.04?
[06:43] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: i know...but i need to watch that...any ideas?
[06:44] <Wiesshund> JackStoner maybe, 1 sec
[06:44] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: thnks
[06:45] <control_> omg this is unreal...i follow what you said and....nothing
[06:45] <sacarlson> RealOpty: I just use openssh  to do secure ftp  no setup needed just load.  oh and maybe setup port forwarding
[06:45] <control_> does it let you set a damn home directory?
[06:45] <control_> other then the fing linux user dir
[06:47] <t-flo> it seems as though my hd never goes to sleep... can i set it to rest automatially? the setting in pwr management is set to sleep after a while
[06:47] <DasEi> t-flo: study the options of hdparm (carefully!)
[06:47] <hasek79> banshee doesnt see my ipod? but R.B. does. can banshee see ipods?
[06:47] <RealOpty> sacarlson, yeah i use scp too. but sometimes i like ftp :)
[06:48] <DasEi> !ipod
[06:48] <RealOpty> i was trying to help the guy out
[06:48] <DasEi> hasek79: see above factoid
[06:48] <hasek79> ok
[06:48] <sacarlson> RealOpty: well with sshd running you can even mount it as a file system and browse it like your own file system
[06:48] <Wiesshund> JackStoner https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 might work
[06:49] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: will try it...
[06:49] <sacarlson> RealOpty: drag drop in nautilus
[06:49] <Wiesshund> JackStoner it still may not display right, the page is written IE specific
[06:49] <RealOpty> sacarlson, nice. i didnt know that.
[06:49] <DasEi> !info smartmontools | t-flo, could also be of interest
[06:49] <RealOpty> sacarlson, tell me how to mount it like that.
[06:50] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: i dont know why this guy was so biased towards IE...well, giving it a shot
[06:50] <sacarlson> RealOpty: places>connect server>ssh
[06:50] <RealOpty> ahhh
[06:50] <sacarlson> RealOpty: gui dude
[06:50] <Wiesshund> JackStoner not so much biased as the tools he used probably, its some kind of MS Office presentation
[06:51] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: it doesnt throw the error but i dont see anything
[06:51] <RealOpty> sacarlson, lol im a cli person my self but i dont think my embedded device supports that.
[06:51] <Wiesshund> JackStoner so it depends or atleast thinks it does, on certain part of IE being available
[06:51] <RealOpty> sacarlson, maybe i need some kind of addon to dropbear.
[06:51] <JackStoner> well...thanks anyways...i'll just visit cisco's site...should have info there
[06:51] <sacarlson> RealOpty: you can mount it with command lines too but you'll have to google it
[06:51] <zer010> hello
[06:52] <zer010> I'm just checking out irssi
[06:52] <RealOpty> sacarlson, damn sftp isnt working on the device.
[06:52]  * RealOpty googles
[06:52] <Wiesshund> JackStoner http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu
[06:53] <sacarlson> RealOpty: if you system suports files systems then it should work
[06:53] <q_a_z_steve> hey, anybody have any ideas how to script (or if something exists) to evaluate IF FILE A EXISTS ON B DELETE B sort of thing
[06:54] <DasEi> Wiesshund: that's for edgy, there is least jaunty on the same server
[06:54] <scriptwarlock> anyone knows to vertical flip a webcam in ubuntu?
[06:54] <sacarlson> RealOpty: once mounted it's just cd /yourmountpoint
[06:54] <DasEi> JackStoner: and also consider newer wine if you want to go that way
[06:54] <JackStoner> Wiesshund: thanks...i dont think its worth getting IE...its just one page, dont wanna get wine involved :P
[06:55] <scriptwarlock> bump
[06:55] <JackStoner> DasEi: i have wine1.2 running office 2007.
[06:55] <Wiesshund> DasEi will it matter much being a wine app?
[06:56] <DasEi> Wiesshund: as there are different repos set up, I think so
[06:56] <Wiesshund> JackStoner do you know how long the vid is supposed to be?
[06:56] <Ameisen> so
[06:56] <Ameisen> I installed Ubuntu 10 64-bit on my test system at work
[06:56] <Ameisen> I'm the ONLY person running 64-bit there
[06:56] <DasEi> JackStoner: wine 1.2  version 1.4.... should do fine
[06:56] <Ameisen> everyone else is running 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10, cept one person is running 32-bit Ubuntu 10
[06:57] <Four2zero> anyone else having trouble changing to static ip ?
[06:57] <Four2zero> on ubuntu 10.4
[06:57] <sacarlson> Four2zero: did you get my script to go static?
[06:57] <Four2zero> I remove network manager.
[06:57] <Four2zero> no.
[06:57] <Wiesshund> Ameisen i had 10.04 64-bit. i only switched to 32bit because i dont have 4gig ram
[06:57] <Ameisen> how much RAM did you have?
[06:58] <Ameisen> You have to remember, the extra memory access is not the only advantage 64-bit offers.
[06:58] <Ameisen> To access 64-bit registers, you must be in long mode (64-bit)
[06:58] <Wiesshund> 64bit ran fine if i singles tasked and conserved my ram (2gig)
[06:58] <Four2zero> can you post a link, i will give it a try now that network-manager is uninstalled.
[06:58] <Ameisen> hmm/
[06:58]  * JackStoner away
[06:58] <Ameisen> I've never tried using a 64-bit linux kernel on a low memory system
[06:58] <Ameisen> so, it might have weird memory issues with it.
[06:59] <sacarlson> Four2zero: this is what I use if I want to go static if already booted http://paste.ubuntu.com/476781/
[06:59] <Bossmanbeta> Whenever I have mencoder encode to a FIFO file, then try to play the stream (the fifo file) with mplayer, it works fine, but only the FIRST TIME. Any subsequent time I try to play the FIFO file, Mplayer errors saying "Cannot seek backward in linear streams! Seek failed"  -- would anyone know why ?
[06:59] <Four2zero> sacarlson, do i need to make any changes ?
[07:00] <Wiesshund> it ran fine mostly, just wasnt enough memory for it is all. no errors with it or anything. a few things i couldnt find 64bit drivers/software for but thats the same with any OS
[07:00] <sacarlson> Four2zero:  ya youl have to setup the number you used in your static stuf
[07:00] <Ameisen> unfortunately, the least RAM i've ever run a 64-bit OS on was 2gb, and that wasn't Linux
[07:00] <Ameisen> worked fine though.
[07:00] <sacarlson> Four2zero: take out that if then stuf that was added later
[07:01] <DasEi> Ameisen: why shouldn't it
[07:01] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: Do you understand what a fifo is? That's exactly how fifo's will behave with any application.
[07:01] <Wiesshund> Ameisen it was fine, i just wanted to run more things that i had the ram for in 64bit is all
[07:02] <Ameisen> At work, my system has 8GiB, but by default came with a 32-bit kernel (with PAE enabled though)
[07:02] <Four2zero> all the stuff in /etc/network/interface
[07:02] <Ameisen> So, I could address the 8GiB (up to 64), but a single process could only use up to 4
[07:02] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, I suppose I don't exactly understand. It works only the first time, but not any subsequent time -- any way to correct/compensate for that?
[07:02] <Ameisen> well, 2.5
[07:02] <Ameisen> 3.5*
[07:02] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: What is your actual end goal?
[07:02] <Wiesshund> when i got some money to waste on extra ram for home, ill spend the 10 minutes to put it back to 64bit
[07:03] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, to stream live tv from a hauppauge card over ssh ... and I don't want to use VLC.
[07:03] <scriptwarlock> Jordan_U: got ideas how to vertical flip webcam image in ubuntu?
[07:03] <Jordan_U> scriptwarlock: No.
[07:03] <TrentonAdams> what's the procedure for adding raid/lvm support after the system has been installed?  I've been running lvm for a long time.  I have now pvmoved my volume group over to a raid device, rebooted, and it won't boot.  It says the devices does not exist, dropping to shell.
[07:03] <Wiesshund> scriptwarlock tip the camera upside down?
[07:04] <scriptwarlock> Jordan_U: :) the quickest way but thats not the issue
[07:04] <TrentonAdams> if I do "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1; mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sdb2 and drop out of the shell, the system boots normally
[07:04] <scriptwarlock> Jordan_U: opps xsend
[07:04] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, It works reliably 100% the first time... just trying to keep it working any time I try to netcat the stream on the client side
[07:05] <scriptwarlock> Weisshund: lol the quickest way :) but thats not the issue
[07:05] <Wiesshund> scriptwarlock what you trying to do?
[07:05] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, Taking netcat out of it, doing it locally - it also fails after the 1st time. Mplayer cries with the same error.
[07:05] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Run "sudo update-grub" and "sudo update-initramfs -uk all"
[07:05] <Valen> I have a mythbuntu 10.04 system thats having some weird problems, basically it seems to decide what services to start at boot pretty much randomly
[07:05] <nimbiotics> fg
[07:05] <scriptwarlock> Weisshund: i mounted my webcam upside and like to know if we have options to vertical flip
[07:06] <Valen> I'm guessing its because it is only connected by wireless and its related somehow to that coming up
[07:06] <livingdaylight> maco, hi
[07:06] <Wiesshund> scriptwarlock not built in options that i know of, no.
[07:06] <Valen> eg this time around cron apache and postfix werent started
[07:07] <scriptwarlock> Weisshund: cheese and guvcview can do that but on messengers and anything else it was inverted i heard about vflip but dunno if it excist in lucid
[07:07] <DasEi> Valen: randomly for sure not, install bum and use it for unneeded ones, and check the /etc/init/* files
[07:07] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: Where is the fifo and what commands are you using for mplayer and mencoder?
[07:07] <DasEi> !bum
[07:07] <Valen> it is defiantly random
[07:07] <Valen> 50% of the time I get apache
[07:07] <Valen> its a clean install
[07:07] <Wiesshund> scriptwarlock you could always try a karmic version of it and see i guess. some karmic stuff works some doesnt.
[07:08] <DesignerGuy> Help please.... How do I enable PUT requests on my ubuntu server?
[07:08] <scriptwarlock> Weisshund: nah cant use that on my cyber shop
[07:08] <DasEi> Valen: there are certain modules invoking others, lsmod can tell you more
[07:08] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, On the server: Step 1: mkfifo teevee.avi  Step 2: mencoder /dev/video0 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=800 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr=128 -of avi -o ./teevee.avi
[07:08] <Wiesshund> scriptwarlock cant you rework the mount for the web cam?
[07:09] <Valen> it doesn't seem to be module related, all hardware is working fine
[07:09] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, Step 3: mplayer ./teevee.avi
[07:09] <livingdaylight> I have a problem with Update manager: "The package 'brscan' is in an inconsistent state and needs to be resinstalled, but no archive can be found for it. Do you want to remove it now to continue?"
[07:09] <livingdaylight> When I click 'yes' it whirls away, but doesn't remove it. I'm offered to reinstall it. However, I cannot as dpkg complains
[07:09] <livingdaylight> its like some Catch-22
[07:09] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, this is all local... I really want to do it with netcat, but of course it fails locally with the same error on the 2nd try... so it's an mencoder/mplayer issue not netcat.
[07:10] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: I don't see where ssh is coming into play, or what the advantage is to using a fifo (given that you apparently want the file to be saved on disk).
[07:10] <livingdaylight> I can not remove it
[07:10] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, I get it working locally & with netcat only on the first try.
[07:10] <livingdaylight> or re-install it
[07:10] <scriptwarlock> Weisshund: of course i can but i have a purpose to mount like this way for the purpose of a fix location
[07:10] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, I don't want the file saved to disk
[07:10] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, I am trying to stream live TV to myself
[07:10] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, But encoded to save bandwidth.
[07:10] <scriptwarlock> Weisshund: got no flips on v4l-conf
[07:11] <Four2zero> sacarlson, what needs to be edited in your script ?
[07:11] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, I could encode it to a regular file, but in a few days I'd have huge files.. this is a thing I want to turn on and forget about and tap into the stream (fifo) on demand
[07:11] <aruntomar> ubottu: i knew about update-rc.d, bum is new, thanx
[07:12] <DasEi> aruntomar: ubott.. is the channel ro-bot
[07:12] <DasEi> !brain > aruntomar
[07:12] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, SSH comes into play when trying to tap into the fifo. Fifo is a local affair .. the only way to get it to transfer on a network is via netcat (I think that's the only way...)
[07:12] <Wiesshund> scriptwarlock best suggestion i can give is to mod the mount or webcam then, if you cant flip the incoming video. Or open it up and flip the CCCD
[07:13] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: Your problem is that just like with a normal pipe, the command sending will quit when the command receiving quits.
[07:13] <DasEi> scriptwarlock: i think cheese has an option for it
[07:13] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, On netcat, yes... but take netcat out of it
[07:13] <scriptwarlock> Weisshund: yeah dunno if i can add some little hacks on v4l to add flip options
[07:14] <sacarlson> Four2zero: well you need three addresses an IP a gateway and a dns address  those all have to be changed.  you will also need a custom resolve.conf file that overwrites the one that dhcp changes
[07:14] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Okay, the update-grub is obviously what I needed, seeing it added the insmod lines for me.  One other thing though.  It put my old boot partition uuid back in.
[07:14] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: Ass a test to illustrate this open two terminals, in one run "mkfifo test.fifo; cat > test.fifo" in the other run "cat test.fifo" and start typing into the first terminal.
[07:14] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, this works fine when playing the fifo locally, or via netcat.. but only the first time. Then if I close mplayer (locally or via netcat) and try again (if remote, re-engaging netcat) mplayer gives that error
[07:14] <livingdaylight> http://pastebin.com/C1Dut4Lr
[07:14] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: My new boot partition is on raid.
[07:14] <scriptwarlock> DasEi: excatly but not on messengers and skype and empathy
[07:15] <Wiesshund> Bossmanbeta because when you stop mplayer the input stops sending
[07:15] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Now ctrl+c to quit the cat that is "reading", and try typing more lines into the first terminal.
[07:15] <choomra> hey guys!  I will soon be the proud owner of a new system76 laptop, their ultraportable. I would really like to get an SSD, but they are so expensive (SSDs in general), that if I got one it would have to be a mere 40GB. This will likely be enough for my apps and system stuff, but certainly not enough for my music collection (20GB or so) and the movies that I'd want to keep on there. I do however have a computer with ample storage runn
[07:15] <choomra> Lucid at home. My question is, how can I "virtually mount" the hard drive and attached drives of my Lucid computer at home on my laptop? In effect I want my own personal storage cloud. I'm open to all suggestions. I was thinking something like VPN? Thanks so much in advance!
[07:15] <DasEi> scriptwarlock: ic, then you approach is more promising, idk the needed syntax for it though
[07:15] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: You meant that message for someone else
[07:16] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: Now ctrl+c to quit the cat that is "reading", and try typing more lines into the first terminal.
[07:16] <Bossmanbeta> Wiesshund, so when I tell mencoder to transcode to a fifo, then play the fifo ... once I kill the player (mplayer), mencoder dies ?
[07:16] <livingdaylight>  I have a problem with Update manager: "The package 'brscan' is in an inconsistent state and needs to be resinstalled, but no archive can be found for it. Do you want to remove it now to continue?"
[07:16] <livingdaylight>  When I click 'yes' it whirls away, but doesn't remove it. I'm offered to reinstall it. However, I cannot as dpkg complains
[07:16] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: we were discussing the booting off raid
[07:16] <scriptwarlock> DasEi: tried udevadm but no vflip options
[07:16] <livingdaylight> http://pastebin.com/C1Dut4Lr
[07:16] <Wiesshund> Bossmanbeta thats the basic gist of it, thats how a fifo works
[07:17] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: You'll notice that the cat that is "writing" to the fifo will also quit. That is what is happening to mencoder, once mplayer stops reading mencoder quits.
[07:17] <DasEi> choomra: nas should be fastest, next samba, then ssh and ftp
[07:17] <DasEi> !nas
[07:17] <choomra> !nas | choomra
[07:17] <Wiesshund> livingdaylight you try using synaptic package manager?
[07:17] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, yes I see that
[07:17] <Bossmanbeta> BAH HUMBUG
[07:17] <Jordan_U> Bossmanbeta: Depending on what exactly you want, just putting mencoder into a while loop may solve your problem.
[07:17] <Bossmanbeta> I don't want mencoder to quit !  :)
[07:18] <livingdaylight> Wiesshund, update manager has thrown a red circle with a white dash, like the highway code symbol on my panel. Clicking on it its tried to resolve it.
[07:18] <justSimplyBob> I need some help Multi-booting on a Mac. The goal is OSX, XP, and Ubuntu, it is on a friends mac
[07:18] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, I'm not super great in scripting.. not sure how to do while loops, or what condition I'd put in the while loop
[07:18] <livingdaylight> Wiesshund, basically it says that I need to reinstall and/or remove brscan - but I can't
[07:18] <Wiesshund> livingdaylight not the update manager, the package manager. you can fix broken packages etc in there
[07:18] <choomra> DasEi: thanks. Would nas do what I want it to do? Is there an easy and native way to do this in Ubuntu? (I don't need a GUI).
[07:19] <DasEi> http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Install_FreeNAS
[07:19] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, and Wiesshund  you both got my idea .. I just want mencoder to remain persistent so that I can remotely run mplayer in that fifo stream at-will
[07:19] <tasslehoff> After installing 10.04 Grub can't find my Windows 7. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1452503&page=2 shows a solution, but will this work when my entire Ubuntu install is on an encrypted volume? /boot is not encrypted, but everything else is.
[07:19] <justSimplyBob> any suggestions?
[07:19] <Bossmanbeta> SO I can watch TV remotely at any time via netcat (without fussing with VLC)
[07:19] <DasEi> choomra: are this 100 or giga nics ?
[07:20] <kittenvsdinosaur> any idea why my swap could have disappeared when upgrading to 10.04?
[07:20] <justSimplyBob> My question is partitioning of the HDD
[07:20] <livingdaylight> Wiesshund, I'm getting the same messages: E: the package brscan3 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: internal error opening cache (1) Please report
[07:20] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: What actually happens when  you try to boot windows from grub?
[07:20] <Bossmanbeta> Jordan_U, What condition would I put in the while loop? I can read up on how to script a while loop
[07:20] <DasEi> choomra: unles you use a switch to connect the two boxes, need a crossovercable for this, when using 100 mb nicks, tuning their parameters can increase their thrughput massivly
[07:20] <Wiesshund> livingdaylight can you mark it for complete removal?
[07:21] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: upgrading is often accompanied with unpredictable issues, just re-add it to /etc/fstab and move on ..
[07:21] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: You will probably want to re-install grub to the mbr as well, and reconfigure where it's installed by default on upgrades. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" will do both.
[07:21] <tasslehoff> Jordan_U: Windows isn't shown in Grub at all. I have to press 'shift' at boot to get the Grub menu.
[07:21] <u_ser> <IP_ADDRESS> is using Gatecrasher on port 6969to probe my system.
[07:22] <livingdaylight> Wiesshund, I click 'ok' and synaptic closes
[07:22] <u_ser> <IP_ADDRESS> is using Gatecrasher on port 6969 to probe my system.
[07:22] <choomra> DasEi: I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but it is an externally (USB2) attached 1TB sata drive, and the computer connects via wireless N. I don't really follow your second post, but I don't want to buy any extra hardware.
[07:22] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: That solution will not help you then as it's for a different problem.
[07:22] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, I would if I knew which partition my swap is
[07:22] <dunas> So how do you go about fixing the flash plugin on x64 10.04 to let you click on flash content?
[07:22] <Wiesshund> livingdaylight ok? or apply
[07:22] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: Is your windows partition encrypted?
[07:23] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, fdisk -l /dev/sda claims not to be able to open the device
[07:23] <u_ser> Some jackoff in Montana is using Gatecrasher on port 6969 to try and open up a backdoor into my Ubuntu system. Here is his address <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:23] <livingdaylight> can someone help me?
[07:23] <Krishnandu> How can I play wmv files in ubuntu??
[07:23] <livingdaylight> Wiesshund, if your big idea is synaptic fogged it
[07:23] <chemical-death> livingdaylight: did your try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall brscan" in terminal? Or "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[07:23] <DasEi> choomra: even better, if its an external hd, don't need any of the previous told, can just mount it;; I got you so, you wanted to connect the laptop to the desktop-PC and access it's internal hd
[07:23] <Krishnandu> How can I play wmv files in ubuntu?? I've installed all the codecs. It's even getting played on VLC but not on Totem.
[07:23] <livingdaylight> chemical-death, that's the catch-22 it won't let me reinstall either
[07:23] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: sudo
[07:24] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, already root
[07:24] <livingdaylight> chemical-death, --configure -a no, haven't tried
[07:24] <DasEi> Krishnandu: ubuntu-restricted-extras installed ?
[07:24] <Wiesshund> livingdaylight do you have the package to install?
[07:24] <tasslehoff> Jordan_U: no. I have: unencrypted win7, unencrypted /boot, encrypted partition (with /, /home and swap inside).
[07:24] <Krishnandu> How can I play wmv files in ubuntu?? I've installed all the codecs. It's even getting played on VLC but not on Totem.
[07:24] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: are you on the live cd?
[07:24] <DasEi> !repeat
[07:24] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, nope
[07:24] <Krishnandu> DasEi, Yes...It's getting played on VLC. But not on Totem
[07:24] <livingdaylight> Wiesshund, yes
[07:24] <nimbiotics> Guys I need help with networking, I've tried #dd-wrt, ##dd-wrt & ##networking to no avail. can some please help me or tell me if there is any other cjannel that I can try?? TIA!
[07:25] <hidaemon> hidaemon
[07:25] <livingdaylight> chemical-death, its a .deb file
[07:25] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Thanks for the tip, though that wasn't my problem.  For some reason, it was still pulling the id off my old boot partition.  I just wiped it with zeros and update-grub is working fine now.
[07:25] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, (I got asked whether I wanted to wait for /dev/mapper/swap to show up on boot, said no, and it booted fine without a swap)
[07:25] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: try it from there?
[07:25] <Krishnandu> How can I play wmv files in ubuntu?? I've installed all the codecs. It's even getting played on VLC but not on Totem.
[07:25] <tasslehoff> Jordan_U: what is different about the problem in the post except that he installed Windows after Ubuntu whereas I did it the other way around?
[07:25] <choomra> DasEi: External yes, but it would be nice to get to the internal one too. And yes, I want to be able to mount my external/internal harddrive that lives at home, on my laptop from anywhere. I already use DynDNS and have anywhere SSH access, but that doesn't do much in the way of mounting hard drives.
[07:25] <ilovefairuz> justSimplyBob: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JasonRibeiro/AppleIntelInstallation
[07:25] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I ran the command you suggested anyhow, just to make sure things were setup right, so it would write to both partitions and what not.
[07:25] <kittenvsdinosaur> Krishnandu, is there some echo in here?
[07:25] <xangua> !repeat > Krishnandu
[07:25] <xangua> looks like you can't with gstreamer
[07:25] <sacarlson> nimbiotics: what problem in networking?
[07:26] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: So, it probably helped alleviate some future problem. hehe
[07:26] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Thanks for the help
[07:26] <nimbiotics> I'm using a wegt54g with dd-wrt as a wireless bridge. It was working OK but today I started playing with it and I chose another network. Now I cant go back to my network because I cant access the bridge. I have tried Anhry IP Scanner but I'm not sure I'm using it right as I'm not an expert. Alos, I wouldnt want to have to reset the bridge. Is there any way to determine my bridge's IP...
[07:26] <nimbiotics> ...address?? TIA!
[07:26] <DasEi> choomra: an external hd with usb can just be plugged in laptop, best throughput, no probs at all.
[07:26] <tasslehoff> Jordan_U: the boot flag isn't set for the ntfs-partition on my system either
[07:26] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: is your issue only swap or not being able to access the disk at all ?
[07:26] <nimbiotics> sacarlson: I'm using a wegt54g with dd-wrt as a wireless bridge. It was working OK but today I started playing with it and I chose another network.

[07:26] <Krishnandu> How can I play wmv files in ubuntu?? I've installed all the codecs. It's even getting played on VLC but not on Totem.
[07:27] <Krishnandu> kittenvsdinosaur, wgat??
[07:27] <xangua> Krishnandu: looking in the software center with 'grstreamer ffmpeg' ypu should be able
[07:27] <DasEi> choomra: for the later, use samba (easier to configure, more common) or NAs (slightly faster ~10-15%)
[07:27] <livingdaylight> chemical-death, sudo dpkg --reinstall brscan3-0.2.11-2.i386.deb ?
[07:27] <Krishnandu> xangua, I think I've it already..!! Coz it's getting played on VLC not on Totem
[07:27] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, my installation is on the same hard drive (/dev/sda), so reading is just fine. fdisk refuses to do anything with it though so I can't double check which partition is my swap (I'm guessing /dev/sda5 but eh...)
[07:27] <chemical-death> livingdaylight: did you try just with "sudo dpkg -i filename"
[07:27] <choomra> DasEi: But it's not an option for me, and this is not a really portable xHD. Is there no easy way to do what I'm looking to accomplish? Speed is not one of my primary concerns so much as reliability and simplicity are.
[07:27] <kittenvsdinosaur> Krishnandu, we heard the question the first three times is what I meant
[07:28] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: You shouldn't be installing grub to any partitions.
[07:28] <livingdaylight> chemical-death, i fear no one is listening
[07:28] <Krishnandu> kittenvsdinosaur, ohh..!!
[07:28] <DasEi> yes, choomra:
[07:28] <DasEi> !smba
[07:28] <DasEi> !samba
[07:28] <jaybird> how do you stop a program from the command line?
[07:28] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: Does "sudo os-prober" provide any output?
[07:28] <DasEi> works same with linux-boxes, choomra
[07:28] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: boot live cd and check it, but fdisk not acessing it is probably an indicator of a more serious issue, check permissions of the dev file
[07:28] <Wiesshund> jaybird you mean the kill command?
[07:29] <chemical-death> livingdaylight: try "sudo dpgk --purge brscan"
[07:29] <ilovefairuz> jaybird: killall namehre
[07:29] <nimbiotics> sacarlson: any ideas?
[07:29] <jaybird> yeah, rythmbox isn't opening
[07:29] <kittenvsdinosaur> on a related issue, is there a way to reserve some memory and cpu for root? I recently had some memory leak issues with firefox, and had to wait for it to get OOMed because I couldn't do anything while it was trashing...
[07:29] <Krishnandu> xangua, yes it's already installed
[07:29] <Wiesshund> jaybird run top, to get the PID and kill the process
[07:29] <choomra> DasEi: Well I don't really need Windows interoperability, as both of these are modern Ubuntu boxes. Once set up, can I browse files on samba drives in Nautilus just like a normal hard drive?
[07:29] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, yeah it's a bit worrisome
[07:29] <DasEi> choomra: I won't use swat, just install samba on the desktop, once configure it ( and also secure it), then can access from laptop
[07:29] <tasslehoff> Jordan_U: nothing
[07:29] <livingdaylight> chemical-death, http://pastebin.com/t5hAsm8y
[07:29] <DasEi> works same with linux-boxes, choomra
[07:29] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I meant the mbr, I'm tired
[07:29] <ilovefairuz> Wiesshund:  jaybird: no need to get pid, use killall or pkill
[07:30] <DasEi> choomra: yes
[07:30] <jaybird> k
[07:30] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: Are all of your ntfs partitions mountable?
[07:30] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I'm tired, maybe I should stop now before I really screw something up. hehe
[07:30] <choomra> DasEi: I see that now. That sounds like the best bet for me then! Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if I've any other questions :)
[07:30] <Krishnandu> Any other way out guys?? Should I try reinstalling that plugin??
[07:30] <DasEi> choomra: can even put it in fstab of lapto, so when connected, it automounts and behaves like a local drive
[07:30] <livingdaylight> chemical-death, dpkg: error processing brscan (--purge): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 127
[07:30] <sacarlson> nimbiotics: see my private post
[07:31] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, hrm, gparted can open it fine
[07:31] <chemical-death> livingdaylight: whats with "sudo dpgk --purge --force-depends brscan"
[07:31] <DasEi> choomra: it will be one (little ) hassle setting up smb.conf on the desktop, but internet has lots of good howtos, also on securing it
[07:31] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, the issue seems to be that /dev/sda5 isn't getting mapped to /dev/mapper/swap
[07:32] <choomra> DasEi: No doubt. I'm currently following this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[07:32] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: for the memory question, you can use ulimit on a per process basis

[07:35] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: Could you run boot info script as explained here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[07:36] <jaybird_> rhythmbox opened, but only after I used the kill command. I tried this twice and the same thing happened. why is this?
[07:36] <DasEi> choomra: ok to go with this, a more updated one : http://tinyurl.com/y8by6yg
[07:37] <justSimplyBob> thank you ilovefairuz I had trouble find info on multi booting and macs in general.
[07:37] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: try sudo fuser /dev/sda5
[07:37] <ilovefairuz> justSimplyBob: you're welcome
[07:38] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, no output either
[07:38] <choomra> DasEi: Excellent find! I will probably end up using both, as my link explains how to set up auto-mounting via fstab.
[07:38] <DasEi> choomra: readers are the dream of supporters, :-D, good effort
[07:39] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, hm, "swapon -a" seems to have made some swap appear in free
[07:39] <dp_> what does omitting directory Error means.
[07:39] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: odd behavior
[07:39] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, very
[07:40] <millica_212> hi all!
[07:40] <dp_> am getting this while doing : cp cat/mwz destination path
[07:40] <ilovefairuz> dp_: cp -R
[07:40] <dp_> it gives me ommiting dir
[07:40] <dp_> ok
[07:40] <dp_> for recursive ?
[07:40] <ilovefairuz> !hi | millica_212
[07:41] <ilovefairuz> dp_: yes
[07:41] <tasslehoff> Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/4z2cCy4u
[07:41] <dp_> k thanks ..
[07:41] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, and about ulimit, wouldn't thatrequire me to know in advance which process will become a resource hog? (ok it's usually firefox, but still)
[07:42] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: what's in fstab ?
[07:42] <millica_212> How to support all archive formats (to open, or compress... ? which is the command to install most of (or all) of them ? Thanks!
[07:42] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: can be applied to a shell (and its childern)
[07:42] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, /dev/mapper/swap none swap sw 0 0
[07:42] <DasEi> millica_212: install unp and all needed formats
[07:42] <DasEi> !info unp
[07:43] <acryline> he
[07:43] <acryline> hi
[07:43] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, maybe swap's label got messed up somehow
[07:43] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: change to /dev/sda5 or UUID=stuff from blkid ?
[07:43] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: You don't have any /bootmgr or /Boot/BCD, which is needed to boot windows.
[07:44] <millica_212> DasEi what is unp ?
[07:44] <DasEi> !info unp | millica_212
[07:44] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: looks like this entry is for encrypted swap partitions
[07:45] <tasslehoff> Jordan_U: is that something Ubuntu should have put there? (how) can I remedy it?
[07:45] <ilovefairuz> millica_212: sudo apt-get install unp
[07:45] <ibrahim-kasem> please tell me How can I verify my nick ? I am using xchat
[07:45] <ilovefairuz> !register > ibrahim-kasem
[07:45] <pinPoint> i have a question
[07:45] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: No, it's part of Windows. It appears you either have a very odd windows setup or you're missing a partition.
[07:46] <ilovefairuz> !details | pinPoint
[07:46] <pinPoint> i just ran sudo dpkg -i xbmc*.deb
[07:46] <DasEi> !register > ibrahim-kasem
[07:46] <ibrahim-kasem> ilovefairuz: I am registered dude
[07:46] <pinPoint> but my package isn't installed anywhere?
[07:46] <pinPoint> it was a .deb file
[07:46] <ilovefairuz> ibrahim-kasem: /msg nickserv identify yourpasswordhere
[07:46] <ibrahim-kasem> DasEi: I am registered need to enter password only
[07:46] <ibrahim-kasem> ilovefairuz: thank you
[07:47] <DasEi> see above, fabulousfast ilove..
[07:47] <ilovefairuz> pinPoint: have you read the messages that dpkg returned?
[07:47] <millica_212> DasEi i installed unp. but i can not opne the best format : 7z :(
[07:47] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, welp, blkid doesn't output anything either
[07:47] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, I'll just change it to /dev/sda5 for now
[07:47] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: sudo
[07:48] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, I always use a terminal with root, not a huge fan of sudo
[07:48] <DasEi> millica_212: as told above, the formats have to be installed, too, but unp biundles them in one cmd . so..
[07:48] <tasslehoff> Jordan_U: ouch. I had to delete a "system recovery partition" to make room for the other ones I needed. could it be that Dell had put it there?
[07:48] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: me neither, and i recommend against it unless 'timeout' is 0
[07:48] <vlt> Hello. I installed qcad on Ubuntu 10.04. When adding a dimension to a drawing no values are visible. Any idea why? Missing fonts?
[07:48] <DasEi> millica_212: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
[07:49] <DasEi> millica_212: then try again:         unp YourFileHere
[07:50] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, oh well, at least now I have a swap and firefox can go back to merely killing my hard drive instead of freezing my laptop
[07:50] <millica_212> DasEi unp is not something like "all in one" . so there are the formats which installed with unp command ?
[07:50] <ibrahim-kasem>  /msg nickserv identify 333222
[07:50] <kittenvsdinosaur> ibrahim-kasem, nice
[07:50] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: you could execute it inside a shell with a limited ulimit
[07:50] <ibrahim-kasem> kittenvsdinosaur:  :S thank you
[07:50] <DasEi> millica_212: install unp and all needed formats,and read again:
[07:51] <DasEi> !info unp
[07:51] <ibrahim-kasem> !root
[07:51] <ilovefairuz> ibrahim-kasem: no space before /msg
[07:51] <millica_212> DasEi i will remove unp. and i will install one by one the formats...
[07:51] <ibrahim-kasem> ilovefairuz: thnx again
[07:52] <DasEi> millica_212: it determines type of compression automatically , but can only handle installed ones,  tar is next common
[07:52] <kittenvsdinosaur> ilovefairuz, wouldn't that just make it get OOMd?
[07:52] <DasEi> millica_212: to find the formats: apt-cache search compression
[07:53] <HannsGruber> !ct shutdown
[07:53] <ChanTrack>  Quitting.
[07:53] <millica_212> DasEi i wan tto install all of them : apt-cache search compression
[07:53] <ylmfos> hi all
[07:53] <millica_212> but how ?
[07:53] <ilovefairuz> kittenvsdinosaur: if -m is small enough, but i've honestly never ran into that
[07:54] <ilovefairuz> !hi | ylmfos
[07:54] <DasEi> millica_212: or look up in synaptic, might be more comfortable
[07:54] <DasEi> sudo synaptic
[07:54] <DasEi> search for compression
[07:54] <ilovefairuz> millica_212: they don't follow a pattern, you'll have to know the names, and there aren't many anyway
[07:54] <millica_212> DasEi oh it takes times :( is there a command to do what ?
[07:55] <ilovefairuz> millica_212: you'll probably just need p7zip-full and unrar in addition to the installed one
[07:55] <millica_212> ilovefairuz ok i will install them one by one..
[07:55] <ilovefairuz> millica_212: apt-cache search compression
[07:55] <Jordan_U> tasslehoff: I think you left the one Dell put there and deleted the one needed by windows.
[07:56] <millica_212> ilovefairuz someone told me this command but i want to install all the package on the list here...
[07:56] <DasEi> millica_212: you don't need things like lharc too often, amongst others, tar,rar,7zip are most common
 !ct shutdown    <ChanTrack>  Quitting.    ...what is this?
[07:56] <ilovefairuz> millica_212: you'll have to manually pick, they are not all what you think they are
[07:57] <millica_212> ilovefairuz DasEi ok. thank you!
