[00:00] <ramone_> hello people
[00:00] <reisio> hi just you
[00:00] <Emiru> How to I get grub back ? Im on a live CD and sudo grub-install /dev/sda says /dev is busy
[00:00] <Emiru> cant umount either
[00:00] <ramone_> it's my first time back in IRC since..like...hum... 15 yeras?! lol
[00:01] <reisio> Emiru: --no-floppy ?
[00:01] <reisio> ramone_: welcome back, suckah
[00:01] <ramone_> thank you mate!
[00:01] <haylox> wheres th drive?
[00:02] <Emiru> reisio: As a parameter ? sudo grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda ?
[00:02] <reisio> right
[00:04] <Emiru> I get /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[00:04] <reisio> Emiru: are you chrooted?
[00:05] <ramone_> guys, I have a    rtl8781l wireless chipset but, using wireshark, I don't know the difference between capture in promiscuous mode and monitor mode. Monitor Mode means to capture every packet that my wireless card can detect ?
[00:05] <Phr3d13> So how come f10 doesn't appear to apply boot edits in the grub configuration option
[00:05] <Emiru> reisio: chroot ?
[00:06] <reisio> Emiru: so no
[00:07] <warfaren> chroot means change root, so right now your root is your live cd environment and thats why you need to chroot
[00:07] <Emiru> lol I guess not
[00:07] <reisio> Emiru: try this stuff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[00:07] <Emiru> reisio: Will do thanks
[00:08] <skypent> If I decide to downgrade, uninstall 11.10 & install 9.04;  Is there a way I can stop the os from updating to later versions?
[00:08] <reisio> skypent: it shouldn't on its own
[00:08] <reisio> skypent: why 9.04, though
[00:09] <skypent> There's a glitch with drive reading with 9.10 and 11.10 that the forums I'm looking at (the users can't resolve)
[00:09] <skypent> So I'd rather just go down and not deal with it.
[00:09] <lewis1711> I keep getting "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." when trying to do 11.04 -> 11.10. I've used computer janitor, disabled my third party sources, and autoremove. halp?
[00:13] <almoxarife> lewis1711: you familiar with synaptic?
[00:14] <lewis1711> almoxarife: yes
[00:15] <a_p3rson1> can someone help me with mounting another drive (windows) at startup? 10.10
[00:15] <almoxarife> lewis1711: look at 'local/obsolete' tab, is part of your system showing up with all ppa's unchecked?
[00:15] <mbeierl> how does one remove all the ppa's on a system in order to prepare for dist-upgrade?
[00:15] <ohzie> Hey guys.
[00:16] <warfaren> a_p3rson1: add it to /etc/fstab
[00:16] <ohzie> When I type "mv *.jpg sort/" I get an error message. "invalid option: -- '1'" <--Which is weird because I checked my aliases and I don't have any aliases, and this command used to work.
[00:16] <reisio> ohzie: you might have a - in a filename, try mv -- *.jpg sort/
[00:16] <a_p3rson1> warfaren: i could use some help on that one.
[00:16] <lewis1711> almoxarife: where's that tab? does computer janitor not remove the obsolete ones anyway?
[00:17] <reisio> ohzie: to be clearer, you might have a file starting with, for example, '--1'
[00:17] <reisio> ohzie: which the application has trouble discerning as a parameter or not
[00:17] <warfaren> ok first open fstab in a text editor as root
[00:17] <reisio> ohzie: -- means 'no more params'
[00:17] <ohzie> reisio: I have one file that starts with '-'
[00:17] <ohzie> it is '-1.jpg'
[00:17] <reisio> ohzie: that's probably the culprit
[00:17] <warfaren> for example sudo nano /etc/fstab
[00:17] <ohzie> is that doing this?
[00:17] <reisio> ohzie: most likely
[00:17] <ohzie> Oh man thank you
[00:17] <a_p3rson1> ok then working on it
[00:18] <reisio> ohzie: the program 'detox' I believe takes care of those in filenames, as well as various other things
[00:18] <a_p3rson1> warfaren: ready
[00:18] <reisio> ohzie: personally I tend to just use foo -- bar and ignore it :p or rename on a case-by-case
[00:18]  * reisio is lazy
[00:18] <warfaren> would someone else please help him with the fstab syntax. cant remember it on top of my head and not at my computer now
[00:18] <almoxarife> lewis1711: did you load up ppa's on your system?
[00:19] <lewis1711> yes. they're gone now
[00:19] <almoxarife> lewis1711: gone? how did you gone them?
[00:19] <Emiru> In Boot-Repair, the Grub tab is grey and empty, any one knows what to do?
[00:19] <warfaren> a_p3rson1: i guess your windows drive is ntfs?
[00:19] <mbeierl> yes... I'm curious as I'd like to gone mine too :)
[00:19] <a_p3rson1> this is true, yes.
[00:20] <bsmith093> whens the next lts release?
[00:20] <lewis1711> almoxarife: synaptic->settings->repositories, removed them from "Ubuntu software" and "authentification"
[00:20] <reisio> probably 'round about the same time of year the last one was
[00:20] <Xeneth> how do I add personalized commands?
[00:20] <mbeierl> bsmith093: I think it's 12.04
[00:20] <mbeierl> !LTS
[00:20] <reisio> Xeneth: you can use 'alias' (help alias) or functions with Bash
[00:20] <warfaren> alright so if no1 else can help you with that just google add ntfs to fstab
[00:21] <reisio> Xeneth: talk to #bash to learn more, or man bash
[00:21] <a_p3rson1> warfaren: is there any specific syntax to only do auto-mount?
[00:21] <Xeneth> help alias
[00:22] <warfaren> and it should be clear probably. you need to know your device name for your ntfs partition. and no, anything in fstab will be automounted
[00:22] <reisio> Xeneth: in a terminal
[00:22] <robin0800> bsmith093: yes 04 12 as we say here
[00:22] <almoxarife> mbeierl: to rid them safely ( and its still not safe 100%) requires a 'ppa purge' then if you are lucky you might have a virgin ubuntu system, and that is not what usually happens
[00:22] <Xeneth> reisio, yea, just had wrong window active
[00:22] <reisio> 'help' is Bash's built-in command for information on its built-in commands
[00:22] <reisio> ah :p
[00:22] <a_p3rson1> warfaren: got it, found a page on the ubuntu wiki on automounting, shows all the syntax needed.
[00:22] <a_p3rson1> thank you,
[00:22] <warfaren> youll have to choose and set a permanent mount point tno
[00:22] <Xeneth> reisio, thanks
[00:22] <warfaren> sweet :)
[00:22] <reisio> Xeneth: somewhat more simply, alias foo="bar" in ~/.bashrc
[00:22] <mbeierl> almoxarife: ah.  Thanks!
[00:23] <reisio> Xeneth: and source ~/.bashrc if you want to use the new alias in the existing session
[00:23] <reisio> Xeneth: there are probably some in there already you can use as examples
[00:24] <almoxarife> lewis1711: you unchecked the ppa, and that is where you left it?
[00:26] <Xeneth> reisio, May make it a bit more clear if I explain.  I want to use minicom with 4 serial ports to network devices.  Want to make a simple command in place of typing out the command with all the augments.  Example:  "R1 = minicom -s ttyS1"  (I know that's not exactly right, but not on my server right now.
[00:28] <Phr3d13> Finally got my Ubuntu to boot, thanks to all that got me started
[00:28] <reisio> Xeneth: oh
[00:28] <reisio> Xeneth: you can just dump all the commands on separate lines into a file
[00:28] <reisio> Xeneth: and run sh filename in the future
[00:32] <Phr3d13> Apparently f10 doesn't do the same as ctrl - x
[00:32] <reisio> Phr3d13: really?
[00:32] <reisio> doesn't it say use either?
[00:32] <Phr3d13> Yup
[00:32] <reisio> more GRUB2 fun...
[00:32] <reisio> gj trying both
[00:32] <faro> algum brasileiro ai
[00:32] <xangua> !pt | faro
[00:32] <Phr3d13> Shame on me for wanting to be lazy and only hit one button I guess
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Phr3d13: np man :)
[00:32] <Xeneth> reisio, Thank, that's what I was looking for.  I assume that it will not stay through reboot so should I make a script to run at start that redoes it?
[00:32] <a_p3rson1> how would i include spaces in a drive label in fstab? the wiki says uses \040
[00:33] <faro> #ubuntu-br
[00:33] <reisio> Xeneth: if you want, I don't know what you're doing
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> a_p3rson1: I'd change the label
[00:33] <reisio> Xeneth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto
[00:33] <a_p3rson1> ActionParsnip: really? any limitation to it?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> a_p3rson1: just keep it short and without spaces
[00:33] <a_p3rson1> and, thats also the preset drive label ("Windows 7")
[00:33] <Xeneth> reisio, Basicly trying to simplify connection through multiple serial ports.
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> a_p3rson1: I beleieve you can escape spaes in fstab, or you may be able to use quotes
[00:33] <Emiru> reisio: Boot-repair's grub tab are grey and nothing is on them, any idea ?
[00:33] <a_p3rson1> it says escape spaces by using \040   does that mean replace the spaces with that?
[00:33] <reisio> Xeneth: more simply without calling 'sh' you can put #!/bin/bash at the top of the file, and chmod +x it
[00:33] <warfaren> a_p3rson1: maybe you should consider relabelling the drive tho? it wont affect windows in any wah
[00:33] <reisio> Xeneth: then just ./file would work
[00:33] <warfaren> way
[00:33] <reisio> Emiru: what's the problem, again?
[00:33] <zacarias> pdf viewer and editor (drag and drop pages, etc.), any suggestion?
[00:34] <reisio> there is one just for page reordering
[00:34] <reisio> I've forgotten the name
[00:34] <Emiru> reisio: oh nvm ill google it :P
[00:34] <reisio> zacarias: pdfshuffler
[00:34] <web1109> places -> connect to server. why does it not have a tick for "reconnect when system starts up"
[00:35] <zacarias> reisio: tx, I'll look for it
[00:35] <reisio> as just a viewer my favie is evince, it inverts on its own
[00:35] <reisio> (xcalib -i -a can invert your whole session)
[00:40] <albert> Is there a way to amplify the master volume beyond 100% (like in vlc)?
[00:41] <albert> (ubuntu 11.10)
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> albert: there is the option in the sound icon on the panel
[00:41] <reisio> albert: with Pulse there should be, yes
[00:42] <albert> ah, using fluxbox, do you know the command?
[00:43] <albert> for the systemtray icon i guess
[00:44] <zacarias> and a software for pdf annotating?
[00:47] <albert> Where are the gnome2 autostarts stored?
[00:48] <almoxarife> albert: sound settings gui allows over 100%
[00:49] <albert> yeah, searching for the command to start the systemtray icon for the fluxbox startup
[00:49] <albert> thanks though!
[00:49] <Akiyama-san> how can i apply this patch into my system -> https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/5/289 ?
[00:49] <Akiyama-san> can someone please help me/
[00:50] <reisio> Akiyama-san: it's from 2007, so if it was worth having at all, it's already applied
[00:50] <reisio> Akiyama-san: otherwise you would need a copy of the kernel from 2007, which is not the sanest approach
[00:50] <Akiyama-san> well, anyway, how can i apply patches like this one?
[00:50] <reisio> okay like this one
[00:50] <reisio> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_%28Unix%29#Usage_examples
[00:51] <reisio> also for a patch that simple it's a no brainer to do it manually
[00:51] <Akiyama-san> thx reisio
[00:51] <reisio> find line 1371, remove the line with a -, add the lines with +
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> Is there an app that connects to the remote app in VLC which isn't the web browser?
[00:53] <reisio> lost me
[00:57] <YawningAngel> Highly random question: anyone know if, in French "de hauteur" abbreviates to "d'hauteur" or not?
[00:57] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: note sure I understand your question...
[00:57] <mbeierl> c/note/not/
[00:57] <Pici> !ot | YawningAngel
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: I run vlc on a server and I connect to it using vlc remote on my android phone and control it remotely, I can also do the same on my laptop but I use the web interface
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: was curious if there was an application, kinda like transgui is to transmission
[00:59] <YawningAngel> Oh please, it's a one-line question with a simple yes/no answer
[00:59] <YawningAngel> I'm quite sure that the policies will manage
[00:59] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: ah, understood now.  And for a moment had read VNC, not VLC.  I'm not familiar with the remote in VLC, so sorry to get your hopes up...
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> YawningAngel: yes it will as far as I recall
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: vncis nasty
[01:00] <YawningAngel> Thanks very much, thought so ;p
[01:00] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: yes. which is why I started piping up :)
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: you can enable the remote http console in advanced settings, then edit the .hosts file to allow your network subnet, you can then control VNC with a remote app or web interface rather than slow VNC
[01:02] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: ... wait ... I'm getting confused between the N and L again.    Yes, I have turned that on before, back in my days of trying to do cheap monitoring via a webcam.  Had it stream the cam over vlc
[01:04] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: but I gave that up in favour of an auto-answer skype session.  it just worked better :)
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: I use it to control VNC, I have an app on my phone, but was curious if an app existed
[01:05] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: you mean VLC, not N, correct?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: always L, VLC by videoLan
[01:05] <mbeierl> Sorry :)
[01:06] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: and now that we've generated enough traffic, I'm hoping someone else might be able to chime in ... ?  Bueller?
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: I agree
[01:07] <a_p3rson> I noticed that when I turn my machine on, at the plymouth splash screen, I now get an "Errors were found while checking the drive for /" message, with options to fix, recover, ignore and skip...ignoring works, but is there any fix to this?
[01:09] <mbeierl> a_p3rson: don't ignore?  tell it to fix/recovery
[01:09] <robin0800> a_p3rson: think that is an error in fstab when something called is not mounting
[01:09] <infekted> anyone know how to change expo to not have the gap when you move unity launcher to bottom of screen?
[01:09] <a_p3rson> robin0800: it works fine if I hit ignore
[01:09] <balistic22> is there a mac osx lion channel?
[01:10] <robin0800> a_p3rson: maybe it just needs extra time!
[01:10] <ghufran> hi. is it possible to create an NTFS partition while installing ubuntu?
[01:11] <a_p3rson> any idea how to give it more? its not really a problem, but i cant push "i" automagically...
[01:11] <xangua> !apple | balistic22
[01:11] <beri> jeeze
[01:11] <reisio> ghufran: probably
[01:12] <a_p3rson> robin0800: any idea on how to do that?
[01:12] <ghufran> i am in the middle of the install process. i am changing the partitions. i only see option to make fat32 partition which is supported by windows ..
[01:13] <balistic22> thank you ubotto
[01:13] <balistic22> #ubuntu-powerpc
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> ghufran: what do you desire?
[01:13] <ghufran> ActionParsnip: NTFS
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> ghufran: I'd only make that in windows personally, it is proprietary to Microsoft
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> ghufran: you can install ntfsprogs and can format NTFS though
[01:14] <reisio> even if it isn't simple from the install media, you can post-install, yes
[01:14] <mbeierl> ghufran: just leave the space (an empty partition) for it during the install, then like ActionParsnip says, after the install is complete, you may choose to use ntfsprogs to make an NTFS filesystem for you
[01:15] <ghufran> ActionParsnip: hmm .. okay. but i dont have internet access on the laptop i am trying to install it on ..
[01:15] <robin0800> a_p3rson: no not really and not sure what fix/repair does either perhaps worth a try
[01:15] <ghufran> ah.. ok
[01:15] <mbeierl> ghufran: but, be forewarned: the support for file ownership/acls is limited in Linux, so once NTFS is mounted, it treats all files as being owned by the UID which did the mounting.
[01:15] <reisio> mkfs.ntfs/mkntfs
[01:16] <ghufran> mbeierl: that's okay. i dont really care about file permissions. i just don't want the 4GB / file limitation of fat32
[01:16] <mbeierl> a_p3rson: I am pretty sure that error message is from the fsck disk check on boot, and it is telling you there are problems on the file system.  it will wait for your input on EVERY boot until you get the file system corrected
[01:16] <mbeierl> ghufran: it's not there anymore :)
[01:16] <warfaren> a_p3rson: can you pate your entire line in fstab that mounts your ntfs drive?
[01:17] <warfaren> paste*
[01:17] <a_p3rson> egh...let me look
[01:17] <a_p3rson> was gonna say, pate is a delicious treat, not something you can do on IRC.
[01:17] <ghufran> mbeierl: what do you mean? :S i get errors on one of my far32 disks
[01:17] <hsmod> hey all.  is there an app i can use to transfer mp3s ON to my iphone4?
[01:18] <ghufran> also. is it possible to change the language of ubuntu after the install?
[01:18] <reisio> hsmod: bluetooth would probably be simplest
[01:18] <mbeierl> ghufran: most of the portable USB disks that you get (like 1TB ones from WD) are formatted using FAT so they can be used in Windows, Mac and Linux.  They are definitely not NTFS
[01:18] <reisio> oh?
[01:18] <xangua> hsmod: rhythmbox, banshee, gtkpod
[01:18] <xangua> etc
[01:18] <a_p3rson> warfaren: mbeierl: the full line is:                UUID=9e0e836c-d89c-46c3-b95f-f5f58a7d3be9	/	ext4	errors=remount-ro	0	1
[01:18] <hsmod> Reisio i can do bluetooth mp3 transfer ?
[01:18] <reisio> I have only seen NTFS formatted ones
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> ghufran: sure you can run language support
[01:18] <warfaren> yeah sorry im typing on my smartphone, not the best keyboard
[01:18] <reisio> hsmod: bluetooth can transfer anything
[01:18] <a_p3rson> warfaren: know the feeling.
[01:18] <mbeierl> ghufran: same with USB sticks.  they are not limited to 4GB for a single filesystem either, yet that are FA
[01:19] <ghufran> ActionParsnip: ok thanks!
[01:19] <warfaren> it says ext4.. u sure thats the right line?
[01:19] <hsmod> xangua, which is the best?
[01:19] <mbeierl> reisio: NTFS for usb sticks?  Not usually.
[01:19] <reisio> oh sorry, I read external for some reason
[01:19] <reisio> oh right
[01:19] <reisio> because you said 'like 1TB from WD'
[01:20] <warfaren> i use NTFS on one of my USB sticks but performance is horrible and safe removal in windows is bitching a lot so not recommended
[01:20] <ghufran> ActionParsnip, mbeierl : what is the significance of the mount point for partitions that are not '/'
[01:20] <mbeierl> reisio: and then also USB sticks :)  For camera cards too.
[01:20] <reisio> maybe
[01:20] <reisio> but a "1TB WD" is probably going to be NTFS, or nothing at all
[01:20] <abstrakt> how do I know if a file is 1080i or 1080p? Here's the output of `ffmpeg -i clip.avi` Stream #0.0: Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [PAR 1:1 DAR 16:9]
[01:20] <ghufran> i mean.. will setting the mount point make it auto mount on that location always?
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> ghufran: its how you interface with block devices
[01:21] <mbeierl> ghufran: the mount point is where in the directory structure the file system is going to be shown to you the user
[01:21] <reisio> abstrakt: the aspect ratio would suggest i
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> ghufran: if you define it in /etc/fstab it wil mount to where you say
[01:21] <reisio> abstrakt: #ffmpeg might know more
[01:21] <warfaren> a_p3rson: did you paste thr right line from fstab? it said ext4 not ntfs
[01:21] <a_p3rson> abstrakt: 1920x1080 i believe is 1080p
[01:22] <mbeierl> ghufran: there can be only one "/", which represents the start of the entire file system.  On MS Windows, that is in a way synonymous with "My Computer" (except in Windows, that is not the real root of the filesystem)
[01:22] <a_p3rson> warfaren: different problem now, got the one with the ntfs drive fixed, automounts perfectly
[01:22] <reisio> actually they're both that aspect ration :p
[01:22] <ghufran> ActionParsnip, mbeierl : so i am making three partitions. one is mounted to '/'. one for swap area. and the last one for data and if i set the mount point to /home/Data it will mount it there?
[01:22] <warfaren> u sure? i think 1080i would be considered 1920x1080 too
[01:22] <reisio> yeah
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> ghufran: yes, with the options you set, it will mount at boot
[01:23] <JusticeZero> One: If I were to install xubuntu-desktop, would/could that disrupt anything and makethe computer not work right till fixed? Two: Why won't it let me download it?
[01:23] <warfaren> well maybe the error you have now is because of the automount of ntfs?
[01:23] <reisio> abstrakt: does it mention 'interlace/ing'?
[01:23] <mbeierl> ghufran: yes.  The "/" partition will have /home and then /home/Data and the contents of /home/Data will be the contents of the partition
[01:23] <ghufran> ActionParsnip: so i won't have to put it in fstab?
[01:23] <warfaren> or did you have it before too?
[01:23] <abstrakt> reisio, no that's the only data it has for the video part
[01:23] <abstrakt> that's why i ask
[01:24] <a_p3rson> warfaren: abstrakt: 1080i is 2 frames of 1920x580, 1080p is 1 frame of 1920x1080.
[01:24] <a_p3rson> and, this problem was before the other one.
[01:24] <ghufran> mbeierl: so thats the right 'convention' ?
[01:24] <eigar> ub 11.10. When I disable mouse polling in "copmiz config settings manager" teh manager crashes and closes. Is thre other processes that depends on this then those listed here: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Mousepoll ? (I use none of them)
[01:24] <eigar> The mousepoll is enabled by default
[01:24] <a_p3rson> ntfs automounting is fixed, this is not.
[01:24] <reisio> abstrakt: how about mplayer -v
[01:24] <aeon-ltd> JusticeZero: first one, no xfce is relatively stable - nothing will happen (besides saving and moving files) until you log out then log into a xfce session
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> ghufran: yes you will have to put it in fstab if you want it to mount in a specific folder
[01:25] <warfaren> yes i know how interlacing kinda halves it but.. would it really change the res showing?
[01:25] <mbeierl> ghufran: yes.  it is a different way of thinking about partitions than Microsoft, but yes, that is the idea
[01:25] <aeon-ltd> JusticeZero: two, lots of reasons - tell the channel more details
[01:26] <warfaren> alright well you said it gave you the option to fix during fsck right? what happens if you do?
[01:26] <eigar> I am trying to get rid of some pointer mess. Sometimes the pointer jumps
[01:27] <a_p3rson> i dont know, should i try it?
[01:27] <JusticeZero> OK, I just don't want any risk of it dislodging any of unity's quirky touchiness. I went to the software center and put in 'xubuntu-desktop' and tried to install it. I get two error dialogs within seconds: "Failed to download package files", then "Requires installation of untrusted packages".
[01:28] <abstrakt> reisio, ok so what would I be looking for in this output
[01:29] <zorba> Anyone here use radeon HD 6000 series? Does it work with gnome 3 or does it artifact?
[01:29] <abstrakt> reisio, does this "MainAVIHeader.dwFlags: (272) HAS_INDEX IS_INTERLEAVED" mean that it's 1080i or is interleaved different than interlaced?
[01:33] <JusticeZero> I don't know what is giving me those two errors when it has my password, permission, and a passable connection.
[01:35] <dewanna> hello i need help
[01:35] <gizmobay> how do you use the find command to find a file with an extension? find / -name vmdk -print doesn't find files with .vmdk
[01:35] <urlin2u> JusticeZero,  "Requires installation of untrusted packages" means 3rd party stuff basically the other explains itself look in software sources as to what repos are open, and maybe change the mirror.
[01:36] <dewanna> can anyone help with my wireless connection
[01:36] <urlin2u> dewanna, you have to describe what the problem is first.
[01:36] <urlin2u> in detail
[01:36] <trism> gizmobay: find / -name '*.vmdk' -print
[01:38] <dewanna> in the panel it shows the internet bars with a"!" beside it when i click to connect it just sys wired connect and it just did this randomly one day and i cant seem to figure it out
[01:40] <arvut> hi. I have a question about tunneling (yes, using ubuntu atm)
[01:42] <warfaren> well go on
[01:42] <_jason> arvut: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[01:42] <arvut> if I would like to reroute all the irc traffic from pc 1 thru router A to router B and then out in the internet, but both routers being on different wan ips (yes I do have full access to them both), as in ipsec or vpn but without need to reach the other lan
[01:42] <dewanna> anyone?
[01:42] <arvut> _jason: =)
[01:43] <arvut> been here before, a lot in the past =)
[01:43] <arvut> !alot
[01:43] <arvut> =)
[01:43] <dewanna> well you guys are alot of help thanks
[01:44] <dewanna> not
[01:44] <warfaren> well personally i use ssh tunnels and tsocks to soksify irssi but im sure theres a better way
[01:44] <arvut> the general idea is to just reroute irc traffic from PC 1 on router 1's lan to router 2 and then from router 2 out on the www
[01:45] <arvut> warfaren: the routers doesnt have ssh servers installed :/
[01:45] <arvut> cheap home equipment
[01:46] <arvut> if I could then I would have a real serverbox behind each lan to handle everything via ssh and whatnot
[01:46] <warfaren> oh.. sorry i was thinking of a machine behind the router.. oh well
[01:46] <arvut> yeah, would be much easier
[01:47] <warfaren> perhaps if you can install dd-wrt or tomato on the router you could run an ssh server on them tho?
[01:47] <warfaren> i hear it will let you do tons of cool stufd
[01:47] <arvut> not opensource routers, so cant do
[01:47] <warfaren> stuff
[01:47] <warfaren> i see :/
[01:48] <warfaren> ok sorry cant help you then. hope someone else can
[01:48] <arvut> common dlinks actually, they support some stuff but never enough
[01:49] <pokpong> i just installed Xorg onto a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 11.10 but after startx the keyboard is not even workin ?!? can someone help me please?
[01:49] <lowkie> arvut, is this for a specific protocol?  irc? http?
[01:49] <arvut> lowkie: yes, I want to tunnel my irc traffic
[01:49] <arvut> can it be encapsulated in ipsec?
[01:50] <BernSamson> how do you terminate a program?
[01:50] <Tech-1> pkill
[01:50] <arvut> or kill
[01:50] <BernSamson> pkill in terminal?
[01:50] <Tech-1> ya
[01:50] <BernSamson> pkill 'app'
[01:50] <Tech-1> ^
[01:50] <BernSamson> thanks
[01:50] <lowkie> arvut, there used to be a program called bounce.  You run it on a server and force it to one irc server.  You use your client to connect to the bounce server and it will "proxy" you to the irc server
[01:50] <Tech-1> np
[01:51] <reisio> abstrakt: sounds like a question for the internet, or #mplayer
[01:51] <pokpong> why does the keyboard works in tty but not in xorg??
[01:52] <BernSamson> didn't work
[01:52] <BernSamson> still up
[01:52] <lowkie> arvut, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_(software)
[01:52] <tf_enya> can I use Realtek ALC883 codec in Ubuntu 10.10?
[01:53] <arvut> lowkie: yeah, but as I mentioned, these routers are only cheap home equipment for setting up a small lan. can't install bouncers on them
[01:53] <Tech-1> try pkill -9
[01:53] <arvut> but ty anyway
[01:53] <warfaren> try ps aux | grep -i appname to find the exact processname
[01:53] <warfaren> or pgrep to get the pid
[01:53] <Tech-1> BernSamson,  + u may have to use proper name
[01:53] <lowkie> arvut, can you setup a tunnel between them?
[01:54] <lowkie> arvut, and use a system behind the 2nd router?
[01:54] <arvut> lowkie: I hope so
[01:54] <arvut> no, the lan on router2 is to be untouched
[01:54] <BernSamson> brb
[01:55] <BernSamson> is it safe to do a restart when an app is hung?
[01:55] <arvut> i go thru router 1, to router 2's wanport, then out again from router2
[01:55] <reisio> BernSamson: safe enough
[01:55] <warfaren> well you shouldnt need to
[01:55] <arvut> kill app first BernSamson
[01:56] <lowkie> arvut, then your only option is if the routers support VPN…you can route ALL traffic over the vpn tunnel
[01:56] <pokpong> anyone knows about configuring Xorg?
[01:56] <BernSamson> I've tried all kindsa ways...I even tried kill --help and it said there was no such thing as --help
[01:56] <BernSamson> brb
[01:56] <reisio> pokpong: what about it
[01:57] <gizmobay> trism: thanks!
[01:57] <x_> what program runs the on screen display?
[01:57] <pokpong> reisio, when I do xstart I get stuck in a terminal but I cant type anything!
[01:58] <arvut> lowkie: hmm, doubt they do. I'm gonna investigate ipsec a bit more tho (and pptp)
[01:58] <almostroot> I'm attempting to do an "apt-get build-dep sage" on 12 machines, but they all return an error about dependencies. (http://pastebin.com/Ev2vWUxs) When I try to install the dependencies, it returns an error about broken packages. (http://pastebin.com/btsT79Zu) I'm used to yum, so any help would be appreciated.
[01:59] <willwh> hi folks - anyone use screen & irssi? seems there is a bug somewhere - after some indeterminable time, my irssi starts spewning, "can write to away.log (or any log) - file not found" - if I open a new terminal inside screen, I wind up at, willwh@web~$(unreachable) - but, if I do an 'ls' - I am in /home/willwh....... any ideas how on earth I go about debugging this?
[01:59] <reisio> pokpong: is it all black?
[01:59] <reisio> willwh: #screen or #irssi might know better
[01:59] <_jason> willwh: are you confident the issue does not exist with irssi outside screen?
[02:00] <willwh> _jason: 100%
[02:00] <Reikoku> Anyone else having issues with Empathy connecting to MSN?
[02:00] <willwh> I will try #screen tho - good call reisio :)
[02:00] <_jason> willwh: how did you start irssi and screen exactly?
[02:01] <pokpong> reisio, yes and i was even able to startx -e x-terminal-emulator which brought me into a white terminal instead but still no keyboard working
[02:01] <maheanuu> I have some very large files that I have downloaded (larger than 6 gigs) and I want to transfer them to a portable external drive so that I can share them with others and not have to carry my computer to do so, is there any way that I can do this without splitting the file into smaller sections?
[02:01] <x_> isn'ty notify notify-osd but how can I manually start it. I can't find an executable
[02:01] <x_> I want to run it w/ fluxbox.
[02:02] <_jason> maheanuu: sure, don't use vfat
[02:03] <willwh> _jason: screen -S irc && irssi
[02:03] <willwh> basically
[02:03] <willwh> I've also tried with byobu
[02:03] <willwh> I just ssh in to the box and it connects to my running session
[02:03] <_jason> willwh: what did you run in your terminal before that?
[02:03] <willwh> this is with all fresh terms
[02:03] <willwh> I gtg for dinner
[02:03] <willwh> back in a bit - I'll pm ya _jason
[02:03] <willwh> :)
[02:03] <maheanuu> _jason,  what should I use, I was thinking of using NTFS but I have had a lot of probs on corruption of the drive between Ubuntu and NTFS
[02:04] <_jason> mediat0r: ntfs if you need to deal with windows users.  What exactly does "corruption of the drive" mean?
[02:06] <maheanuu> I have to deal with windows users (family) and the drives become unreadable I have 3 at present that have all my photography files on them and I am trying to save 15 years of photos on those
[02:06] <maheanuu> _jason, they all worked wonderfully then slowly became unreadable
[02:06] <dr_willis> maheanuu:  ddrescue the drives to a image file, and try to recover from the image file. is what i did the other day for a failing 1 TB hd.
[02:08] <_jason> maheanuu: how do they *slowly* become unreadable?
[02:08] <maheanuu> _jason, I was getting read errors intermittently then they quit
[02:09] <bagels> hi guys.  I just bought a Dell Inspiron Duo, and want to know how to install drivers for the touchscreen and screen rotation?
[02:10] <Lizard_> Aww man
[02:10] <Lizard_> Lizard is already in use :'(
[02:10] <Lizard_> By the way, I'm new to the community
[02:10] <Lizard_> Nice to meet you all
[02:10] <reisio> pokpong: is there some reason you're not using a login manager (lightdm, gdm)?
[02:10] <Tech-1> crawl over to a new nic
[02:10] <Tech-1> lol
[02:10] <Lizard_> =\
[02:10] <maheanuu> dr-willis,I have a 1t and a 1.5t along with a 500 gig that are not readable
[02:10] <reisio> bagels: got a model number?
[02:11] <x_> can someone tell me where to find / how to start notify-osd manually ( I have it installed but can't find how to start it lolz)
[02:11] <dr_willis> maheanuu:  if you are lucky ddrescue will recover them.. and/or photorec..  it took me a week to recovery my 1tb.. but i got like 99% of the files from it.
[02:11] <dr_willis> x_:  what are you wanting to do to it? its installed/used by the default gnome..
[02:12] <x_> dr_willis, im on fluxbox checking it out, can I run notify-osd on fluxbox ?
[02:12] <pokpong> reisio, i have installed Xorg on ubuntu server and only want to startx when I want to watch a movie
[02:12] <eigar> ub 11.10. When I disable mouse polling in "copmiz config settings manager" the manager crashes and closes. The polling does not get disabled either. Where is the config file for this?
[02:12] <leonardo-gois> que comando posso usar para tira o convidado?????????
[02:12] <bagels> reisio As far as I know, "Inspiron Duo" is the model, i couldn't find one on the bottom of the computer.
[02:13] <dr_willis> x_:  cant say ive really tried. its a service startred by the gnome/ubuntu desktop. theres some notify-osd command that lets you create custom notificatoons. Its most likely started as part of the gnome system services.
[02:13] <x_> dr_willis, info on the ubuntu website says it should be notify-osd but I can't find that anywhere and I know it's installed....
[02:13] <reisio> pokpong: okay, did you install a window manager?
[02:14] <reisio> pokpong: are you sure you wouldn't prefer just using framebuffer?
[02:14] <dr_willis> x_:  i only have a 'notify-send' here as a command.
[02:14] <reisio> bagels: can you pastebin what's in /dev/input/by-id/
[02:15] <Dr_Azil> I just made the mistake of checking how many channels there were...
[02:15] <pokpong> reisio, i did not install a window manager since i just want to display one application output, my movie player
[02:15] <x_> dr_willis, me too ;\
[02:15] <pokpong> reisio, framebuffer??
[02:15] <reisio> pokpong: okay
[02:15] <dr_willis> x_:  i think those docs may be outdated.
[02:15] <reisio> pokpong: mplayer can play to the framebuffer
[02:15] <reisio> pokpong: you don't need X
[02:15] <pokpong> wow
[02:15] <dr_willis> pokpong:  even in such a case. ive always used a minimal window manager.
[02:15] <pokpong> reisio, ill check that!
[02:15] <SuperNoeMan> hey what kernel version is ubuntu 11.10
[02:16] <reisio> pokpong: I don't know what particulars there might be for Ubuntu Server; here are the details for Gentoo some of which will remain relevant: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Mplayer_on_Framebuffer
[02:16] <dr_willis> last i looked mplayer in the framebuffer had limitiations in some res's and other features. but it may be better now.
[02:16] <reisio> never had a problem with it
[02:16] <reisio> I've played widescreen, not widescreen, subtitled
[02:16] <reisio> anyways, beats having X on a server
[02:16] <yeats> !info linux | SuperNoeMan
[02:16] <dr_willis> the geexbox disrto moved from using mplayer in framebuffer to usingit in a minimal X server setup. but this was 2 yrs ago they switched.
[02:17] <Tech-1> huh, mandrivia just came out w/a new player which is inbetween mplayer and smplayer
[02:17] <PeDor> hi, someone knows a equalizer that works with ubuntu 11.10?
[02:17] <reisio> that's their problem :p
[02:17] <reisio> Tech-1: yeah, what?
[02:17] <Tech-1> ya
[02:17] <Tech-1> i aint tried it yet tho
[02:18] <pokpong> reisio, thanks a lot
[02:20] <x_> dr_willis, actually I just ended up using xfe4-volumed since thats all I needed anyway :-D
[02:20] <reisio> Tech-1: ...does it have a name?
[02:21] <Tech-1> do a search, it was dayviewed on linux-today about 3 days ago
[02:22] <almostroot> Okay, so I've narrowed my issue down to the system won't update. It looks like it is getting the repo information, and not returning any error codes, but an apt-get update returns 0 packages to be updated, yet I am seeing outdated packages.
[02:23] <noahk11> Hello
[02:23] <dr_willis> almostroot:  how are you seeing outdated packages?
[02:23] <noahk11> I got free time to help so just holler :)
[02:24] <almostroot> dr_willis: Dependency issues and I'm using kernel version 2.6.32-28-generic on 10.04 when I know the current is 2.6.32-35-generic.
[02:25] <dr_willis> almostroot:  tried a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and see what it suggests?
[02:25] <reisio> bagels: ?
[02:25] <almostroot> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[02:26] <pokpong> reisio, will play only as root....and no sound
[02:26] <dr_willis> work time for me.. bbl.
[02:26] <x_> so, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop restarts X leaving me at login screen. But how would I go about killing x, completely and going to a text terminal in the same tty.

[02:57] <boxbeatsy> hi all, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a fresh system, and i have no internet connection.  i've found a thread on the forums that addresses my problem.  however, they're asking me to install build-essentials from my install CD, but when i enabled the CD in Software Sources, i got a unable to download error and when i try to apt-get install build-essentials, the terminal showed some errors and was not installed
[02:58] <boxbeatsy> does anyone know why i can't instal build-essentials from my install cd?
[02:58] <reisio> sausagesquatch: it's a Windows app for managing boot loading
[02:58] <reisio> sausagesquatch: 'fraid I don't know anything about broken Wubi installs
[02:58] <sausagesquatch> ohh ok
[02:59] <reisio> boxbeatsy: how're you trying to?
[02:59] <reisio> meshuggah: guvcview?
[02:59] <rypervenche> `/b 1
[02:59] <rypervenche> oops
[02:59] <boxbeatsy> reisio: well i enabled the cd as a software source via synaptic
[02:59] <meshuggah> reisio, thank u i will try
[02:59] <boxbeatsy> reisio: and then i installed build-essentials with apt-get
[02:59] <boxbeatsy> both yielded errors though
[02:59] <LinuxRants> Does anybody know of any good video conversion applications for ubuntu?
[03:01] <sausagesquatch> where do i get easy bcd for free
[03:03] <rypervenche> LinuxRants: ffmpeg
[03:03] <Mirx> Hello
[03:03] <willwh> LinuxRants: handbrake.fr
[03:03] <willwh> it's awesome if you want something with a gui etc etc
[03:04] <boxbeatsy> when i try to apt-get install build-essentials, i get a series of error messages starting with "failed to fetch cdrom: [Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS ...]
[03:04] <willwh> other than that though - ffmpeg ftw (but always build from source) :)
[03:04] <willwh> boxbeatsy: open up your Software Sources
[03:04] <flowingfirefly> I can't find Chinese chanel, 杯具啊！
[03:04] <CarlFK> boxbeatsy: i doubt build-essentials is on the cd
[03:04] <litheum> how can i cause an upstart job to depend on a SystemV script?
[03:05] <willwh> flowingfirefly: #ubuntu-cn
[03:05] <willwh> I believe
[03:05] <Mirx> Can any1 direct me to a channel on IRC newbies
[03:05] <willwh> ubottu: irc?
[03:05] <willwh> irc?
[03:06] <willwh> Mirx: feel free to pm me with IRC questions... :]
[03:06] <willwh> Mirx: also, type, /topic - and check out the links ;)
[03:06] <gischy> ^^
[03:06] <flowingfirefly> bot, can you teach me how to creat a bot?
[03:07] <boxbeatsy> willwh: i've got sofware sources open, and the CD option selected
[03:07] <CarlFK> irc! | Mirx
[03:07] <willwh> boxbeatsy: so deselect
[03:07] <willwh> :)
[03:07] <Mirx> CarlFK:  irc!
[03:07] <boxbeatsy> willwh: but, i dont' have internet connection, so i have no other source to get build-essentials from
[03:07] <willwh> and then, refresh your sources / run sudo apt-get update from a terminal
[03:07] <willwh> :)
[03:07] <willwh> oh
[03:07] <willwh> ohhh
[03:07] <milamber> !cn | flowingfirefly
[03:07] <FloodBot1> willwh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:08] <boxbeatsy> this thread addresses my issue, and it seems corroborated that the live cd is supposd to have build-essentials on it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1505697
[03:08] <Mirx> irc!
[03:08] <willwh> it should, but I think you can also create CDs/DVDs of current packages
[03:08] <milamber> !irc > Mirx
[03:08] <willwh> boxbeatsy: how are you on IRC without internet access? ;)
[03:09] <boxbeatsy> willwh: primray computer, i bought a new laptop today and i'm trying to move over :P
[03:09] <Gaijin> hello - trying to compile something but getting error asking me to specify locations of 3 items, where would these be on a 64 bit build? GMP 4.2+, MPFR 2.3.1+ and MPC 0.8.0+.
[03:09] <Mirx> ubottu: irc
[03:09] <boxbeatsy> willwh: is there a tutorial somewhere tha twill show me how to create a CD of build-essentiasl?
[03:09] <Mirx> milamber: irc
[03:09] <willwh> boxbeatsy: I would just plug your lappy in to the router and install :)
[03:09] <CarlFK> boxbeatsy: where do you see build-essentials on that ubuntuforums page?
[03:10] <meshuggah> is there any ubuntu application to control webcam, focus, sharpness, this kind of thing?
[03:10] <milamber> boxbeatsy: you just have to edit your sources list and comment out the cd
[03:10] <boxbeatsy> CarlFK: #6
[03:10] <quixotedon> dear all, how to delete a program you have installed through wine?? the fact is i used wine on 11.04 after upgrading to 11.10, wine is gone/removed but the programs i installed are still there in the app list
[03:11] <boxbeatsy> milamber: the CD is the source I need to get build-essential from though.  or, is there another?
[03:11] <milamber> meshuggah: try the program cheese?
[03:11] <boxbeatsy> willwh: the problem im fixing is that i have a disabled network card so that's not anoption
[03:11] <willwh> on a brand new laptop?
[03:11] <pist0l-fish> gcc is giving me errors about ANY library i try to link to the program i'm compiling. for example, -lpthread gives me things like, "undefined reference to `pthread_create`"
[03:12] <pist0l-fish> is anyone else experiencing this? i'm on 11.10
[03:12] <willwh> boxbeatsy: it's probably just disabled in the bios
[03:12] <willwh> enable it and save yourself the pain
[03:12] <milamber> boxbeatsy: can you be more specific about what errors you were getting?
[03:12] <boxbeatsy> willwh: it works when i boot into windows though
[03:12] <CarlFK> boxbeatsy: I am pretty sure build-essential is not on the cd.  but don't give up.. you can use a usb stick... just a sec
[03:13] <boxbeatsy> kk
[03:13] <willwh> boxbeatsy: you're talking about the wireless?
[03:13] <boxbeatsy> both wired/wireless dont work
[03:13] <CarlFK> boxbeatsy: actually it is kinda odd that wired doesn't work.   might want to invistigate that
[03:13] <Mirx> Any other information about IRC for a beginner
[03:13] <willwh> Mirx: google it.
[03:14] <Mirx> ubottu didn't tell me much
[03:14] <willwh> the #ubuntu channel is not really the place to ask for basic IRC stuff
[03:14] <the_cyber_guy> i have somehow messed up with ubuntu network drivers for the wifi and mobile broadband devices, how can they be repaired ?
[03:14] <boxbeatsy> CarlFK: according to the forum thread, my ethernet hardware is new and doesn't have driver support in Ubuntu 10.04
[03:14] <boxbeatsy> CarlFK: however, there's a driver included in the compat-wireless stack that i can use
[03:14] <almoxarife> !info build-essentials
[03:14] <Mirx> willwh:  i know and am trying to find where to go
[03:14] <boxbeatsy> CarlFK: problem is, to install it i need build-essential
[03:15] <Dr_Azil> Having difficulty downloading Ubuntu
[03:15] <willwh> Mirx: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=IRC+basics
[03:15] <Mirx> willwh:  I willl check that out now.  Thx
[03:15] <boxbeatsy> milamber: when i tried to enable the CD as a software source via synaptic, it tried to dl some repository related files but failed to do so.  and then when i tried to apt-get install build-essential it spits out a series of errors all starting with "failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS]....
[03:15]  * willwh facepalms
[03:15] <pist0l-fish> can anyone help with the linker errors?
[03:16] <willwh> pist0l-fish: I haven't had an issue like that (running 11.10)
[03:16] <Mirx> ubottu: hacking
[03:16] <pist0l-fish> willwh: where is your pthread library located, out of curiosity
[03:16] <CarlFK> boxbeatsy: weird.  so in syaptic, File, "generate download script" which will let you download all the .deb files you need for build-essential.  put them on a usb sitck, stick in laptop.. and.. ummmm pray :)
[03:16] <willwh> Mirx: if you are interested about learning more about security etc - check out backtrack.
[03:17] <Mirx> ubottu: backtrack
[03:17] <Mirx> willwh:  Backtrack?  Where
[03:17] <Mirx> A channel?
[03:17] <willwh> Mirx: stop trolling
[03:17] <reisio> unless it comes with a manual, Backtrack won't learn you any more than Ubuntu, anyways
[03:17] <Mirx> willwh:  What's trolling
[03:17] <willwh> Mirx: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)
[03:17] <Mirx> ubottu: trolling
[03:18] <pist0l-fish> i think my installation is missing all libraries...
[03:18] <CarlFK> Mirx: you are posting too much that is off topic.
[03:18] <pist0l-fish> willwh: can you just tell me where the path is to your libraries?
[03:19] <pist0l-fish> ...no?
[03:19] <CarlFK> boxbeatsy: I don't suppose the laptop has firewire?  and you have cables...
[03:19] <milamber> boxbeatsy: here is the answer to you question: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptMoveHowto/simple
[03:19] <Mirx> CarlFk, Sorry
[03:19] <willwh> pist0l-fish: yes, sorry
[03:19] <willwh> /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.13.so
[03:19] <milamber> boxbeatsy: if you are getting that many other errors, you may have something else going on
[03:19] <willwh> /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
[03:19] <Mirx> ubottu: troll
[03:19] <KeySatara> Buuuenas
[03:19] <willwh> but that box is only 32bit
[03:19] <willwh> I am assuming you're running x64?
[03:20] <pist0l-fish> willwh: yes
[03:20] <boxbeatsy> milamber: ok, i will try that
[03:20] <the_cyber_guy> how can i get back the default ubuntu drivers for wifi and mobile broadband ?
[03:20] <boxbeatsy> CarlFK: nope
[03:21] <pist0l-fish> i seem to have both... grumble.
[03:21] <pist0l-fish> screw developing on ubuntu, i don't have the time nor the patience to figure this out
[03:22] <milamber> pist0l-fish: can you pastebin the compile command you are using and the errors? you haven't really provided specific enough info for anyone to be able to help
[03:22] <yeats> pist0l-fish: this isn't really a developer channel... more straight up system support
[03:22] <pist0l-fish> milamber: http://codepad.org/Cbtg8Jil
[03:23] <pist0l-fish> also, i couldn't find where apt-get put libsqlite3's library files, although i did find the header file
[03:24] <willwh> pist0l-fish: sudo updatedb && locate whateveryouarelookingfor
[03:24] <sodani> can i install ruby 1.9.2 on ubuntu with apt-get?
[03:24] <willwh> ?
[03:24] <yeats> !info ruby
[03:24] <CarlFK> boxbeatsy: oh, once you have that script, you run it on a box with net access, then put it back in laptop and run the option right under it "add downloaded packages"
[03:24] <yeats> !info ruby1.9
[03:25] <pist0l-fish> willwh: oooo file indexing, i am not used to such luxuries. this is way better than using `find`
[03:25] <willwh> :]
[03:25] <willwh> pist0l-fish: don't write ubuntu off just yet ;]
[03:26] <pist0l-fish> willwh: haha okay i will not
[03:26] <milamber> pist0l-fish: did you find your missing library?
[03:26] <pist0l-fish> so it seems like everything is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
[03:26] <willwh> pist0l-fish: what have you been developing on prior? :]
[03:27] <pist0l-fish> willwh: arch linux, i installed ubuntu on this system because i already had a bootcamp'd imac, and was lazy
[03:27] <pist0l-fish> (used wubi)
[03:27] <willwh> ah :)
[03:27] <willwh> yeah arch is nice, but, tbh, I don't have the time
[03:27] <willwh> give me something with a vibrant community & precompiled packages
[03:27] <willwh> to be fair - a few things I do compile from source (eggdrop / ffmpeg etc)
[03:28] <pist0l-fish> you'd be surprised- there's very little compilation in arch, and the community is pretty big. most people get the popular packages as binaries
[03:28] <willwh> I guess that is Arch though - it's been a long time since I've touched it
[03:28] <willwh> it's pacman right?
[03:28] <willwh> the arch package manager
[03:28] <pist0l-fish> yeah... i love pacman
[03:28] <pist0l-fish> so i wonder why the appropriate env variables do not get set on gcc to use the path i just wrote down. should i report this as a bug for x64?
[03:29] <willwh> I'd certainly take a look at launchpad
[03:29] <willwh> for existing bugs
[03:29] <willwh> launchpad? > pist0l-fish
[03:29] <willwh> is that the righ syntax for ubottu?
[03:30] <milamber> !launchpad
[03:31] <willwh> thx milamber :)
[03:31] <milamber> willwh: factoids are preceded with the exclamation point. a | will send it to the user on the channel and a > will send a pm
[03:31] <kookykookie> Hi, i compiled and installed a lucid kernel on maverick. The new kernel is missing build from lib/module
[03:31] <pist0l-fish> hmm, i added that to my library paths and it still gives me linker errors. actually, that makes sense, because it would have failed before the linker had it not found the right libraries
[03:31] <milamber> !ubottu | willwh
[03:32] <willwh> milamber: is he an eggdrop or what? totally custom? :)
[03:32] <kookykookie> is there a workaround to get the kernel-dev?
[03:32] <yeats> willwh: supybot with custom plugins
[03:32] <milamber> willwh: she's actually a she :)
[03:33] <milamber> willwh: supybot i think
[03:33] <kookykookie> do i make sense?
[03:34] <milamber> !compilekernel | kookykookie
[03:34] <PeeOnYou> jeez anytime i make a change in ccsm it crashes
[03:34] <PeeOnYou> and i have to do unity --reset
[03:34] <willwh> I'm out o/
[03:34] <kookykookie> lol Thanks
[03:35] <threonine> what program creates an iso for a DVD avi,mkv etc file?
[03:35]  * pist0l-fish gives up on ubuntu
[03:35] <milamber> kookykookie: wish i could be more help, but custom compiling the kernel is not something i am familiar with. if you come back later there may be someone more comfortable to help
[03:36] <milamber> threonine: do you have a file you want to turn in to an iso or do you have a dvd you want to make a backup of?
[03:37] <e75> how can i restart alsa?
[03:37] <kookykookie> Thats ok. I found some packages i can try installing on that wiki page
[03:37] <threonine> milamber, i am trying to make DVD movies
[03:37] <milamber> !avidemux
[03:38] <Northwoods> how can i open /home/extra/ with all rights to change it
[03:38] <Tech-1> devede
[03:38] <Northwoods> although i'm logged in as root
[03:38] <milamber> threonine: i believe you can do it w/ avidemux
[03:38] <Northwoods> it doesn't let me manipulate folders
[03:38] <Northwoods> i did nautilius
[03:38] <milamber> Northwoods: how did you open nautilus?
[03:39] <Northwoods> nautilus
[03:39] <Northwoods> simply typed this in terminal
[03:39] <milamber> Northwoods: try: gksudo nautilus
[03:40] <Northwoods> yes worked , thanks
[03:40] <milamber> Northwoods: np
[03:41] <threonine> milamber, avidemux doesn't let you create a DVD that you can play on your dvd player
[03:41] <Tech-1> threonine,  devede
[03:42] <Tech-1> threonine,  if you do use it, and are in the usa, make sure its set to ntsc
[03:44] <threonine> Tech-1, thanks but Devede has bad quality compared to ConvertXtoDVD thats the only reason i need it.
[03:45] <Tech-1> i c
[03:46] <kookykookie> can i use dpkg to fetch dependencies for a .deb?
[03:47] <tensorpudding> apt-get build-dep
[03:47] <vicsar> .
[03:48] <kookykookie> the .deb package isnt listed in apt-get
[03:48] <emmetea> what command would i use if i wanted to add other operating systems to grubs menu since installation didn't notice them?
[03:49] <Tech-1> sudo update-grub
[03:49] <Tech-1> then u may have to reboot
[03:49] <hilarie> Hey you guys are smart.. I am install znc on my server, and its asking for an ident
[03:49] <hilarie> Whats that?
[03:49] <emmetea> Tech-1, but when i do that it only find the linux partitions
[03:50] <Tech-1> huh, u got windoze on it 2 ??
[03:50] <emmetea> well and the memtest image
[03:50] <emmetea> yeah, two flavours
[03:50] <Tech-1> huh, you may have to go and redo the mbr in win
[03:51] <Tech-1> ive only done it once and got lucky
[03:51] <brewster> what is up with brasero and all of the other disk writing programs
[03:52] <brewster> they all think that dvd's are 1gb
[03:52] <e75> so
[03:52] <Tech-1> lol
[03:52] <e75> anyone
[03:52] <e75> know how i can restart alsa?
[03:52] <brewster> last time i checked that wasn't the case
[03:52] <Tech-1>  /etc/init.d start alsa ?
[03:53] <Tech-1> brewster,  k3b is awesome
[03:53] <brewster> tried it
[03:54] <brewster> it said i didn't have all the video files
[03:54] <brewster> and i was writing movie files to a dvd
[03:54] <brewster> then it closed
[03:54] <Tech-1> ya, it can be buggy the first time around, but it catches on
[03:54] <CaptAnon> Help: I downloaded the source of that game airstrike and now I want to learn how to compile(install?) it
[03:55] <CaptAnon> Can anyone help me with this?
[03:55] <brewster> CaptAnon: usually ./configure; make; sudo make install
[03:55] <brewster> given you have all the requirements
[03:56] <CaptAnon> brewster,  brb testing
[03:56] <brewster> wait
[03:56] <brewster> or you can just download it from the software center
[03:56] <Loshki> brewster: I've always found brasero to be particularly bug-ridden. How about burning from the command line?
[03:56] <brewster> that always works for me
[03:57] <brewster> uhh not my favorite thing to do
[03:57] <Tech-1> brewster,  do you have libdvdread4  and libdvdcss2 installed ?
[03:57] <CaptAnon> brewster, I can do that but I'm learning how to compile and better myself
[03:57] <boxbeatsy> milamber: hi, after getting to step 4 of the tutorial you sent me, i'm getting an error saying that the Packages.gz file does not exist.  it seems like apt-move update isn't actually creating the Packages file.  do you know what my problem might be?
[03:58] <brewster> CaptAnon: you should google c tutorial if you want to learn that sort of thing
[03:58] <hilarie> sooo, lets say you don't have access to the server and you get this while sshing :'( Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.
[03:58] <CaptAnon> ok but how do you know it is c?
[03:58] <brewster> you learn the most from figuring it out ;]
[03:58] <brewster> or c++
[03:59] <brewster> if you have to compile it then it's typically java c or c++
[03:59] <brewster> or C#
[03:59] <brewster> Tech-1: must they be the -dev's
[03:59] <almostroot> So I've yet to resolve my issue, but inside of /var/lib/apt/lists, the files reflect the current versions. For some reason, apt is refusing to compare the installed packages with the new ones. Is there some hidden option that would prevent updates from being processed?
[03:59] <Tech-1> its in medibuntu repos
[03:59] <Tech-1> or
[03:59] <edgy> Hi, how can I create a qcow2 image from virt-manager to install on it? I couldn't find the option in the wizard!
[04:00] <Tech-1> ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:00] <CaptAnon> brewster,  ok the install file in the source( i think its the source) says I need a c compiler, does this mean c or could it be one of those variants of c you mentioned?
[04:01] <brewster> CaptAnon: ubuntu usually comes with a c compiler
[04:01] <CaptAnon> yes I have gcc
[04:01] <brewster> just use those above commands
[04:01] <Tech-1> brewster,
[04:01] <Tech-1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[04:01] <Tech-1> its all there
[04:01] <brewster> oh you were talking to me then
[04:02] <CaptAnon> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[04:02] <brewster> are there any .sh files?
[04:03] <brewster> they'll typically say something like automake or autoconf or something similar if i'm remembering correctly
[04:03] <CaptAnon> in the utils folder there is
[04:03] <html> how do i fix the login mangers ?
[04:03] <CaptAnon> I'm going to be too much work, I will just find a tutorial
[04:03] <html> hi
[04:04] <brewster> CaptAnon: hold on
[04:04] <CaptAnon> ok
[04:05] <CaptAnon> How much practise with programming will it take for me to be able to produce something useful?
[04:05] <Guest43213> hello, I'm using ubuntu 11.10, is there a way to replace the kernel 3.0 by the kernel 2.6
[04:05] <Guest43213> ^
[04:05] <Guest43213> ?
[04:05] <Guest43213> thanks
[04:05] <brewster> CaptAnon: i find that taking a class is a good place to get comfortable with programming
[04:06] <brewster> although some people learn better by teaching themselves
[04:06] <threonine> how do I get wine to notice my DVD/CD drive?
[04:06] <brewster> if i were to teach someone how to program i would teach them python or java
[04:06] <Tech-1> Guest43213,  if its in the official repos you x=can, if not, i wouldnt
[04:06] <CaptAnon> brewster, Hahaha I'm trapped on a farm in australia
[04:07] <brewster> but i wouldn't start with c
[04:07] <brewster> but you do have internet ;]
[04:07] <brewster> python.org
[04:07] <CaptAnon> well I would like to play with that game, just mess with the code
[04:07] <brewster> ^go there
[04:07] <dr_willis> python gets my vote.
[04:07] <brewster> hellz yeah
[04:07] <CaptAnon> I would like to change the physics of the aircraft
[04:07] <brewster> python ftw
[04:07] <CaptAnon> Yeah I heard python is good
[04:08] <dr_willis> but i know more perl and rexx then i do python
[04:08] <html> Guest43213,  please for the sake of all, and and the comfort of knowing who ,or which "guest "we are talking to ...so please change your name and in the end it is more productive this way
[04:08] <Dr_Azil> My download for Ubuntu has just sped up :)
[04:08] <html> hi doc
[04:08] <html> hi all
[04:08] <Dr_Azil> Y'ello
[04:08] <CaptAnon> His name was Jacob_ but he changed it
[04:09] <Dr_Azil> My name?
[04:09] <html> wait we have 2 doctors in here?
[04:09] <Dr_Azil> Someone was already using my normal name, Lizard, so I just used Lizard backwards
[04:09] <kla> either C or lua. python schmython </ot>
[04:09] <Tech-1> lol
[04:09] <Tech-1> backwards
[04:09] <Tech-1> nice
[04:09] <brewster> CaptAnon: for now install from the software center. Go learn some python if you're interested in programming. Then build your way up to the c's with java then c++ then c
[04:10] <Dr_Azil> One of the rare moments I show some wit
[04:10] <Tech-1> cool, well done
[04:10] <hot2trot> I virtualize ubuntu 11.10 through vmware fusion, and when I un-suspend an instance of ubuntu, and if I had a sshfs mounted, and I try to ls that directory, it just infinitely hangs... any ideas?
[04:10] <Tech-1> brb
[04:11] <Dr_Azil> Danke
[04:11] <CaptAnon> brewster,  That will take years
[04:11] <brewster> nah
[04:11] <brewster> it took me a month to learn python
[04:11] <CaptAnon> my attention span will only give me a few hours
[04:11] <CaptAnon> from scratch?
[04:11] <brewster> yep
[04:11] <html> does any one know about logon mangers? cuz im stepped in it really deep this time..
[04:11] <brewster> maybe 2 to learn c++
[04:11] <almostroot> I recommend against python, as per my professor. I agree with him that it makes you lazy and teaches you bad habits.
[04:11] <brewster> the same for c
[04:12] <CaptAnon> ok and how many hours a day, and what could you do at the end of that month?
[04:12] <reisio> almostroot: what does he recommend?
[04:12]  * brewster glares at almostroot
[04:12] <almostroot> reisio: He jumped straight into C, then Fortran. All in a semester.
[04:12] <reisio> ah, can't argue with that
[04:12] <kla> !ot
[04:13] <reisio> C is where they're all derived, no better place to start; though you _can_ start from anywhere and come back
[04:13] <reisio> almostroot: what school is this, if you don't mind saying?
[04:13] <brewster> CaptAnon: maybe a couple of hours a day no more than 2. by the end of the month you should know all the basics including networking and maybe threading
[04:13] <almostroot> reisio: He no longer teaches here, but a two-year technical school with a specialized programming degree.
[04:13] <CaptAnon> How did I start a debate about programming languages all I wanted was to compile some source???
[04:14] <Dr_Azil> :P
[04:14] <CaptAnon> cool
[04:14] <tensorpudding> fortran is a useless language to teach people as their first experience
[04:14] <tensorpudding> especially if it's the old, outdated fortran
[04:14] <Skummel> Is fortran still used?
[04:14] <tensorpudding> yes
[04:14] <brewster> tensorpudding: thank you
[04:14] <tensorpudding> it's significantly popular in high-performance computing
[04:14] <brewster> fortan and c are for more experienced programmers
[04:15] <brewster> for they are very old
[04:15] <tensorpudding> but mainly because it's tailored for speed and easy parallelism and has decades-old libraries for everything
[04:15] <kla> fortran never seemed more than programming language snobbery to me
[04:15] <brewster> they say you can never fully know fortran
[04:15] <almostroot> It is a great programming langue for implementing complex algorithms. I use Fortran 2003 right now. Supercomuting is almost all C and Fortran for the serious science.
[04:15] <brewster> because of how big it is
[04:15] <html> CaptAnon,  we your lucky, cuz most of the time people with thoughs kind of skills dont come around much
[04:16] <tensorpudding> it's too specialized
[04:16] <almostroot> tensorpudding: The course is focused in high-performance computing. In that world, C and Fortran reign.
[04:16]  * dr_willis misses 'Can Do' on his amiga
[04:16] <brewster> CaptAnon: if you can program in your area you can make the benjamins later in life
[04:16] <html> CaptAnon,  so learn all you can , next ubuntu release they'll be back....
[04:16] <l0n> For really high performance stuff, assembler is the way to go :)
[04:17] <dr_willis> comal! ;)
[04:17] <almostroot> l0n: Speed vs time is not comparable. Also, by using a higher-level language, you can port it to other machines, where assembler requires a complete rewrite.
[04:17] <CaptAnon> Programming will never be more then a hobby for me, flying is my thing
[04:17] <tensorpudding> there's plenty of books which cover python from a total beginner's perspective
[04:17] <brewster> oh
[04:18] <CaptAnon> but I wanted to change the physics in the game to be more realistic, and make it more fun for multiplayer
[04:18] <brewster> well if it's just a hobby use languages like python or java
[04:18] <html> almostroot,  that is a good point, and for a nob like me rewrites are bad
[04:18] <brewster> i hear ruby is fun too ;]
[04:19] <tensorpudding> changing the game physics can be terribly involved
[04:19] <oobiloz> help, ubuntu won't show pics from my fuji finepix when i plug it in
[04:19] <oobiloz> it shows when i do lsusb though
[04:19] <reisio> oobiloz: libgphoto2?
[04:19] <almostroot> html: Even worse in the HPC world, where most machines have a 5 year maximum life span. There are physics simulation programs that have been around for decades, and could never be ported.
[04:20] <kantlivelong> anyone here able to use ubuntu 12.04 as an ubuntu guest w/ vboxsf module?
[04:20] <oobiloz> it's there...
[04:20] <brewster> 12.04 is out 0.0
[04:20] <html> almostroot, hpc world? means?
[04:21] <almostroot> html: High-performance computers. Supercomputers.
[04:21] <Tech-1> run linux
[04:21] <brewster> CaptAnon: if you learn the programming basics, changing the game physics would be as easy as changing a couple of numbers
[04:21] <CaptAnon> I played I little bit with ruby, the language seems fun to write
[04:21] <CaptAnon> chomp gets puts
[04:22] <brewster> chomp?
[04:22] <CaptAnon> chomp.gets I think
[04:22] <CaptAnon> can't remember its like input but a quote, or a string or somthing
[04:22] <brewster> oh is that perl?
[04:22] <CaptAnon> ruby
[04:22] <jjjrmy> fortune | cowsay
[04:22] <brewster> oh
[04:23] <brewster> um
[04:23] <almostroot> So I installed using pxebooting with kickstart to direct the install to grab packages via a web server and pre seeding to answer the questions. Could that be part of the reason why my system refuses to see new packages?
[04:23] <html> how about program a simple  kids card matching game?
[04:23] <sausagesquatch> hello can anyone help i used wubi to download and install ubuntu and it wont boot it does not exist in the os choices menu what should i do
[04:23] <brewster> what are we talking about XD
[04:24] <brewster> install it again
[04:24] <almostroot> Reinstall the system?
[04:24] <sausagesquatch> i did 3 times still the same result
[04:24] <brewster> sausagesquatch: try it from the boot disk
[04:25] <sausagesquatch> i have no cd
[04:25] <This_nickname_is> sausagesquatch use LIVECD
[04:25] <brewster> sausagesquatch: flash drive?
[04:25] <captanon> I had xchat running in a terminal and I closed it
[04:25] <sausagesquatch> no flashdrive
[04:25] <captanon> did not know it would kill xchat
[04:25] <sausagesquatch> whats live cd
[04:25] <brewster> why do the best nicks have to do with food?
[04:25] <This_nickname_is> sausagesquatch: you can write the iso img to a usb
[04:26] <captanon> Live cd is a bootable cd I think
[04:26] <html> sausagesquatch,  first comfirm its there http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ , this will do everything you need and more, so boot in to live check , or delete the bad install
[04:26] <sausagesquatch> no usb
[04:26] <brewster> is cornonthecob here?
[04:26] <This_nickname_is> sausagesquatch: then reboot and reinstall from that
[04:26] <CornOnTheCob> ye
[04:26] <CornOnTheCob> yes
[04:26] <kantlivelong> ubuntu is gonna be dead soon :)
[04:26] <Dr_Azil> Ubuntu takes forever to download...
[04:27] <captanon> you trying to make a bootable usb?
[04:27] <almostroot> Dr_Azil: Try a torrent.
[04:27] <html> kantlivelong,  what are you taking about?
[04:27] <Dr_Azil> Would a torrent be as reliable?
[04:27] <CornOnTheCob> kantlivelong: i'm offended
[04:27] <captanon> yeah torrents are good
[04:27] <kantlivelong> html: its being butchered to the most dumbed down OS out there
[04:27] <html> Dr_Azil,  there are some REALLY fast torrats
[04:27] <CornOnTheCob> troooool
[04:27] <kantlivelong> it even has +1 on MS right now.. (until windows 8)
[04:27] <almostroot> Dr_Azil: It checkpoints as it downloads, and you can always check the md5 sum afterwards.
[04:28] <CornOnTheCob> troll
[04:28] <This_nickname_is> captanon: ya,sometimes it,s much easy than wubi
[04:28] <captanon> Torrents are the nuts!!
[04:28] <kantlivelong> CornOnTheCob: srry but ive used alot of distros.. n i was happy w/ ubuntu for awhile.. its crap now
[04:28] <Dr_Azil> Alrighty. Thanks all
[04:28] <html> kantlivelong,  where are you reading your news?
[04:28] <Dr_Azil> Had Ubuntu downloaded and installed at one point. Can't remember why I got rid of it
[04:29] <kantlivelong> html: nowhere.. just my prediction
[04:29] <captanon> I made a bootable usb before, worked fine.
[04:29] <jjjrmy> How do I make Ubuntu look like I'm a hacker?
[04:29] <captanon> hahhaha
[04:29] <kantlivelong> html: you seriously think unity is good for multitasking/development?
[04:29] <captanon> go into terminal
[04:29] <Monsanto> rrrrrrrr
[04:29] <Monsanto> ofllllllll
[04:29] <Brewster> kantlivelong: why in the world would you come to #ubuntu and spread such negativity
[04:29] <oobiloz> i've hte library right enough, but it just won't let me see the photos
[04:29] <kantlivelong> jjjrmy: sudo rm -rf /
[04:29] <jjjrmy> Yeah, but I want everything green and black
[04:29] <jjjrmy> kantlivelong: sorry, no.  Read the man pages for how to override it.
[04:31] <pangolin> !language | jjjrmy
[04:31] <Lizard_> Woops
[04:31] <captanon> the biggest problem with unity is i cant let anybody use my computer
[04:31] <kantlivelong> almostroot: the heck u talkin about?
[04:31] <Brewster> jjjrmy: kde plasma is a good alternative to unity
[04:31] <kla> plasma ftw
[04:32] <almostroot> kantlivelong: rm will refuse to remove the root of the filesystem by default.
[04:32] <almostroot> kantlivelong: Look at the man pages for rm
[04:32] <Brewster> almostroot: the command was funny though XD
[04:32] <kantlivelong> almostroot: is this new?
[04:32] <almostroot> kantlivelong: Not really.
[04:32] <Brewster> imagine if you got someone to do that XD
[04:32] <kantlivelong> hmm
[04:32] <almostroot> Brewster: As I said, it won't work without an additional option.
[04:32] <Monsanto> if you sudo rm -rf / you're eff'd
[04:33] <almostroot> Monsanto: Untrue. Read the man pages.
[04:33] <pangolin> !danger
[04:33] <Monsanto> Do it.
[04:33] <Brewster> LMAOOO
[04:33] <kantlivelong> lol
[04:33] <kantlivelong> bbl
[04:33] <Brewster> ubottu XD
[04:33] <Monsanto> Run it
[04:33] <sausagesquatch> i have no cds or usbs i need a intelligent answer please everyones answer involves buying somthing
[04:33] <almostroot> pangolin: It is not a dangerous command.
[04:33] <almostroot> pangolin: Since it will not work.
[04:33] <captanon> Hey how do I change the colour on the terminal, I do like the idea of that hacker mode
[04:34] <jjjrmy> captanon: I found a theme to do it :p
[04:34] <jjjrmy> Also, how do I get rid of the Unity Sidebar?
[04:35] <kla> captanon: kernel options maybe?
[04:35] <milamber> jjjrmy: just change the profile in the terminal?
[04:35] <almostroot> jjjrmy: Do you mean the terminal, as in text-only, or the terminal as in the application that you can open that emulates the terminal?
[04:35] <captanon> found it
[04:36] <almostroot> ^That was misdirected. Sorry.
[04:36] <html> kantlivelong,  agreed, and as linux MUST have a os as a big seller , then use our name to bluid more,better faster ,.... but all the linux fans know it takes money, and some how to feed there family for those that make it. also  ubuntu is betteeer then kde, in ,less broken packages and the new .deb manager is making it a favorite among new users which we all know we need...
[04:36] <kla> sausagesquatch: would you please describe your problem in more detail. Apologies if you've already done so.
[04:36] <tucemiux_mob> how do you disable the virus that constantly tries to configure networking upon startup?
[04:37] <captanon> Also if there is another computer running on my home network can I open stuff up on it from the terminal on another computer
[04:37] <milamber> captanon: yes.
[04:37] <tucemiux_mob> captanon,  openssh
[04:37] <captanon> kla,  by kernel is that another word for terminal
[04:37] <sausagesquatch> yup
[04:37] <captanon> thanks tucemiux_mob
[04:38] <kla> captanon: nope, I just thought you were talking about  the virtual consoles
[04:38] <kla> tucemiux_mob: you sound pretty sure it is indeed a virus
[04:38] <captanon> is that ssh as good as it sounds?
[04:39] <tucemiux_mob> kla, it sure acts like a virus
[04:39] <html> tucemiux_mob,  try this, but this to scan it whith out the pc on ,"live mode"
[04:39] <dr_willis> !ssh
[04:39] <sausagesquatch> i used wubi to download and install ubuntu and it will not boot it does not appear in the os choices menu and i have no cd's or flash drives
[04:39] <tucemiux_mob> html, my real question is, how do I boot up ubuntu without it forcibly wanting to have an IP?
[04:39] <sausagesquatch> and no money please help
[04:40] <reisio> sausagesquatch: you could try running the installer again
[04:40] <captanon> how did you use wubi without a cd or flash?
[04:40] <sausagesquatch> did it 3 times
[04:40] <reisio> captanon: virtual mount
[04:40] <sausagesquatch> still no boot
[04:40] <captanon> ok
[04:40] <dr_willis> sausagesquatch: id just use virtualbox. i dont like wubi
[04:40] <html> tucemiux_mob,  dont connect to the net?
[04:40] <captanon> did you put it onto a partition?
[04:40] <reisio> sausagesquatch: there's not much we can do if you don't have any media and the installer isn't working from a virtual mount
[04:40] <sausagesquatch> is the boot and grub folders supposed to be empty
[04:40] <OerHeks> sausagesquatch, maybe your antivirus protection is too tight
[04:41] <reisio> sausagesquatch: ideally you'd install from a live CD/DVD/USB after resizing your Windows partition
[04:41] <kla> tucemiux_mob: update-rc.d networking disable ?
[04:41] <sausagesquatch> well i cannot do that reisio
[04:41] <kla> tucemiux_mob: then you can ifup/ifdown interfaces at will
[04:42] <html> sausagesquatch, did you burn the os  to a cd? and what are you spec of your computer?
[04:42] <captanon> Hold on with putty I can control a windows pc from my linux computer???
[04:42] <kla> captanon: if the windows PC is running an SSH server
[04:42] <tucemiux_mob> html, im not connected to the net but ubuntu keeps forcibly waiting to get an IP upon startup
[04:42] <milamber> captanon: other way around
[04:42] <sausagesquatch> no cd's i used wubi
[04:42] <kla> captanon: "control" is an overstatement though
[04:42] <kla> or a dramatization
[04:43] <html> tucemiux_mob,  which one ? outbound or in bound?
[04:43] <tucemiux_mob> kla, so ubuntu will forcibly ask for an IP even though you have no internet connection?  That's a BUG or a virus
[04:43] <milamber> captanon: windows does not come with ssh installed. putty is an ssh client for windows
[04:43] <sausagesquatch> 1.78 ghz processor 1.5 gb ram 80 gb hdd
[04:43] <Brewster> tucemiux_mob: no such thing as linux virus
[04:43] <tucemiux_mob> html, sideways o.O
[04:43] <kla> tucemiux_mob: neither I'd say.
[04:44] <html> tucemiux_  smartypants
[04:44] <tucemiux_mob> Brewster, ok time to file a bug reporr then
[04:44] <Brewster> indeed
[04:44] <tucemiux_mob> **report**
[04:44] <Brewster> or sudo modprobe -r eth0
[04:44] <tucemiux_mob> Brewster, yes but I shouldn't have to do that, it should just boot up and work!
[04:44] <sausagesquatch> hello mr potato head
[04:44] <html> sausagesquatch,  and what os are you loading ?
[04:45] <sausagesquatch> ubuntu
[04:45] <kla> Brewster: how come??
[04:45] <kla> eth0
[04:45] <captanon> Do you have a partition sausagesquatch ?
[04:45] <html> sausagesquatch,  what version?
[04:45] <Brewster> kla: how come wat?
[04:45] <kla> Brewster: modprobe -r eth0
[04:45] <sausagesquatch> no partition
[04:45] <dr_willis> cant say ive noticed any ussues with my unnetworked ubuntu machines
[04:46] <Brewster> removes internet module
[04:46] <sausagesquatch> the one off the ubuntu site
[04:46] <Brewster> you could put a startup command as gksu modprobe -r eth0
[04:46] <captanon> I can't remember but I think when I did it from the wubi I put it into a partition
[04:46] <Brewster> that way it'll happen automatically
[04:46] <kla> Brewster: I never thought such usage case was possible. Can anyone else please confirm this??
[04:47] <Brewster> i wouldn't recommend it
[04:47] <sausagesquatch> ubuntu 11.10
[04:47] <Brewster> why would you want to remove your internet
[04:47] <Tech-1> why not rid of the virus
[04:47] <Brewster> what if you can't put it back?
[04:47] <Brewster> no such thing as ubuntu virus
[04:48] <Tech-1> didnt he say he had a virus?, thought he had windoze
[04:48] <kla> paranoia (sp?) is quite the motivator
[04:48] <captanon> ok if I us ssh on an other ubuntu computer, can I log in as root and use my sudo powers
[04:48] <captanon> Is that the point of ssh?
[04:48] <captanon> I will google ssh
[04:49] <kla> captanon: indeed. you will have the same capabilities and powers as you would otherwise have
[04:49] <sausagesquatch> come on i need some ideas
[04:49] <html> sausagesquatch,  i take it your new at this, so i will save you the pain (click the 32bit verison) http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/
[04:50] <milamber> captanon: ssh is just a way to access your machine. you can log in with your regular credentials, you don't have to use sudo to remote in
[04:50] <dr_willis> !ssh | captanon
[04:50] <sausagesquatch> very new to ubuntu
[04:51] <dr_willis> sausagesquatch: id just use virtualbox. i dont like wubi
[04:52] <dr_willis> sausagesquatch:  that would let you have both os going at the same time
[04:52] <captanon> Wow that is cool that is what I've allways wanted
[04:53] <kla> captanon: Be careful though.. with great power comes great... ah just a lot of power :)
[04:53] <captanon> does anyone have a spare computer I can ssh into?
[04:53] <sausagesquatch> i cant buy a cd
[04:54] <milamber> captanon: once you install the server (usually: sudo apt-get install openssh-server) you can ssh into your own box
[04:54] <dr_willis> captanon:   ssh localhost         :-)
[04:54] <captanon> hahha
[04:54] <captanon> ok I will try that
[04:55] <html> sausagesquatch,  this one will be of the few that are better for you computer, also puppylinux, and lubuntu ( for slower and older pcs) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu
[04:55] <hilarie_> Okay, so my seedboxes default ubuntu image, has only 1 user, and that user is root... how do I get back to what I normally do with ubuntu? like have my own username, and a password, and use sudo, isn't being logged in as root, a bad idea?
[04:58] <captanon> OMG I just hacked into my own computer
[04:58] <html> sausagesquatch,  the dr_willis  is one of the best mind in here, and is a respected member . we are here to help
[04:59] <hilarie_> Anyone, point me in the right direction? there are alot of programs that say they wont run as root :(
[04:59] <captanon> sausagesquatch,  Have you tried putting the wubi into a different partition from the windows one?
[05:00] <Monsanto> captanon: How so
 OMG I just hacked into my own computer
[05:00] <captanon> hahha ssh
[05:00] <dr_willis> i dident thik wubi worked on a different partition.
[05:00] <captanon> Maybe its been a long time since I used it.
[05:01] <milamber> !details | hilarie_
[05:01] <dr_willis> i cant stand wubi. ;) id vote for its removal from the install cd..
[05:01] <captanon> I can't remember quite how I did it when I did it
[05:01] <Tech-1> brb
[05:01] <almostroot> So when I installed via net boot, the system used the server it grabbed the copied ubuntu CD image off of as the default repo. Is that why the machine refuses to see updates?
[05:01]  * milamber would second that removal
[05:01] <oobiloz> anyone have any ideas so i can see photos from my camera?
[05:01] <oobiloz> it says camera detected when i plug it in but cannot open divvrectory
[05:01] <oobiloz> *directory
[05:02] <kla> almostroot: yep, configure update sources
[05:02] <oobiloz> it's all greyed out in gthumb and f-spot when i try to import
[05:02] <hilarie_> I am running a custom ubuntu 11.10 server edition image, provided by my seedbox host, the only way for me to log in is ssh root@myip and then I am logged in as root, isn't there a way to add a username, give it sudo priviliges, and disable root?
[05:02] <almostroot> In other words, anyone experienced with pre seeding and pxebooting to install?
[05:02] <dr_willis> oobiloz:  perhaps its not in usb storge mode. or you need to mount it by hand
[05:02] <html> dr_willis, can i pm you?
[05:02] <oobiloz> lol
[05:02] <milamber> !adduser | almostroot
[05:03] <oobiloz> the mount it by hand makes me nervous
[05:03] <dr_willis> html:  you can. but im at work so may have to leave at any time to do real work.. ;)
[05:03] <oobiloz> it says here on grey screen it's on usb mode?
[05:03] <oobiloz> well not usb mode but
[05:03] <html> ok
[05:03] <almostroot> milamber: ... I don't think you read my issue.
[05:03] <oobiloz> there is a usb icon and it says usb.....
[05:03] <captanon> how do I keep a program running that I opened in terminal If I want to close the terminal?
[05:03] <dr_willis> oobiloz:  learning how mount works is rather fundamental ;)
[05:03] <oobiloz> dr willis... sorry i did try googling it earlier
[05:03] <oobiloz> and i've done it before
[05:03] <oobiloz> a couple of times
[05:04] <almostroot> kla: I copied over a known good sources.list to no avail. It's receiving the new lists, but not comparing the local installed to the remote updated.
[05:04] <oobiloz> i have memory issues
[05:04] <milamber> almostroot: my fault, wrong person

[05:10] <dr_willis> sausagesquatch:  and your system specs and windows version are?
[05:10] <dr_willis> CaptAnon:  read up on x forwarding via ssh.
[05:11] <milamber> CaptAnon: to enable x forwarding you have to do: ssh -C -X <server>
[05:11] <sausagesquatch> 1.78 ghz processor 1.5 gb ram 80 g b hdd

[05:11] <CaptAnon> wilco dr_willis
[05:12] <sausagesquatch> dr wilis should the folders grub and boot be empty
[05:12] <dr_willis> sausagesquatch:  personally, id forget wubi and use virtualbox.  it wont be as fast. but it will work. will work great with lubuntu.
[05:12] <dr_willis> sausagesquatch:  i dont use wubi any more. its just too problematic
[05:13] <sausagesquatch> how do i get virtualbox for free
[05:13] <almostroot> So frisk is different than what I'm used to. How can I specify the partition type when creating it?
[05:13] <almostroot> fdisk*

[05:17] <sausagesquatch> so please give a brief description of how to do this
[05:17] <html> do you know how to load a dvd ?
[05:18] <dr_willis> sausagesquatch:  download, install virtualbox. start it.. tell it to boot iso.. follow the wizaed.. it has a manual at its homepage. vbox manual that is..
[05:18] <tomato_c> sausagesquatch:well, i think you should re-download a iso img file
[05:18] <oobiloz> hellow?
[05:18] <oobiloz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/756760/
[05:19] <dr_willis> the wubi installer had the iso file downloaded somewhere. he could use than. but i normally use lubuntu in vbox
[05:19] <html> sausagesquatch,  what os are you running ? windows 7 ? vista? what?
[05:19] <sausagesquatch> yup i used wubi so that means i have the wrong file format?
[05:19] <sausagesquatch> html win xp professional
[05:19] <dr_willis> wubi downloaded the iso... somewhere
[05:20] <CaptAnon> ok on the computer im sshing into do they have to have a user with the same user name that I have?
[05:20] <CaptAnon> and password?
[05:20] <milamber> CaptAnon: no, but you would have to specify the correct user and pass when you run the ssh command
[05:21] <milamber> CaptAnon: for the manual: man ssh
[05:21] <CaptAnon> man ssh
[05:21] <CaptAnon> oh
[05:21] <CaptAnon> in the terminal
[05:21] <CaptAnon> thanks milamber
[05:21] <dr_willis> oobiloz:  only 1 hd is seen on that system.
[05:21] <CaptAnon> just wondering, how come help ssh does not work?
[05:21] <dr_willis> CaptAnon:  clarify what you mean.
[05:22] <dr_willis> dont work.. most likely user error...
[05:22] <dr_willis> ;)
[05:22] <CaptAnon> how come "help ssh " does not give me help like it usualy does?
[05:22] <dr_willis> never noticed a help command...
[05:22] <html> sausagesquatch,  i can help you out,  or is someone else doing that?
[05:22] <oobiloz> well i took a fat leap and did the mount /dev/sdb1 anyway and now i'ts going on about fstab or mtab
[05:23] <sausagesquatch> well html just you and dr wilis
[05:23] <dr_willis> oobiloz:  the system sees no sdb.   untill fdisk -l shows the other drives.. you cant mount it.
[05:23] <dubey> hello

[05:26] <CaptAnon> Thanks iceroot
[05:26] <dubey> anyone pls.
[05:26] <oobiloz> thanks ... reading mroe into it
[05:26] <iceroot> CaptAnon: normally you want the manpage with "man command"
[05:26] <dr_willis> man is the original 'documentation' system from years and years ago... then there was a push to the 'info' type system.. ;)
[05:27] <html> sausagesquatch,  when you say my name , that its what i mean,
[05:27] <CaptAnon> but info and man are the same thing and they are here to stay?
[05:27] <iceroot> CaptAnon: they are not the same
[05:27] <CaptAnon> oh?
[05:27] <sausagesquatch> s o when i type html you see it highlighted
[05:27] <dr_willis> CaptAnon:  they are not going away any time soon

[05:43] <ruslan_osmanov> hi. is there a way to add my custom server address to the gui window providing standard mirrors?
[05:46] <ruslan_osmanov> in other words, is the list of servers hadrcoded there or it reads some config file?
[05:49] <windparadise> hello good morning, I have installed ubuntu on vmware, but it boot in a shell mode. how do I launch the graphical mode?
[05:50] <dubey> hello
[05:50] <nevyn> windparadise: honestly re-install with the non-server version will be quickest.
[05:50] <ruslan_osmanov> windparadise, you should have provided not enough graphics/ram memory for the guest. It should output some warning on startup
[05:51] <nevyn> hrm that's a possiblity
[05:51] <sausagesquatch> dr wilis the virtual box software has not passed windows logo testing should i proceed
[05:51] <windparadise_> please I don't get tht part, I was disconnected.
[05:51] <windparadise_> do you mean I should reinstall everything? I didn't install ubuntu in server mode.
[05:51] <nevyn> windparadise: how much memory did you give the guest?
[05:51] <windparadise_> I first 2GB
[05:52] <windparadise_> but later changed it to 1500
[05:52] <ruslan_osmanov> :O do you mean space on hard drive?
[05:52] <windparadise_> no, ram, HDD size is 30 GB
[05:53] <ruslan_osmanov> what about video memory ?\
[05:53] <Ashu> hi, I am trying to setup a socks proxy in ubunutu. I set up ssh for port forwarding, but when I try to connect using my rsa key, it complains the key is not is rsa1 format. Which is right, b/c i have an rsa key.  shouldnt be able to recognize that the key is not rsa1?
[05:54] <windparadise_> it's set on auto-detect mode
[05:54] <windparadise> using the host settings
[05:54] <windparadise> what do i do ?
[05:55] <dubey> need help to set resolution

[05:55] <dubey> Braden: runleve
[05:56] <dubey> Braden: runlevel
[05:56] <Braden`> it says /var/run/utmp does not exist
[05:56] <Braden`> so I created it
[05:56] <Braden`> now it just says "unknown"
[05:56] <windparadise> any answer please
[05:56] <windparadise> ?
[05:57] <Braden`> windparadise:  Repase your question
[05:57] <dubey> my dell 5050 uses vga16fb
[05:57] <windparadise> I was having problem starting ubuntu in GUI  mode, I have installed it on vmware on allocated ram of 1500m, 30G of HDD size
[05:57] <windparadise> after installation, ubuntu runs on shell mode
[05:57] <dubey> how can i change  resolution

[06:00] <Doctorly> Am I allowed to ask for help in here?
[06:00] <Doctorly> Just making sure I have the right channel before I upser anyone
[06:01] <windparadise> thanks
[06:01] <Braden`> Doctorly:  Do not ask to ask, just ask.
[06:02] <Doctorly> Wanted to make sure I had the right channel. How do I load a custome Unity theme in 11.10? All the tuts I have found are pointing me at gnome.
[06:03] <jiltdil> Is there any better image editor than gimp in ubuntu?
[06:03] <Braden`> Isn't Unity gnome?
[06:03] <Doctorly> Yeah, but a gnome theme isnt the same
[06:04] <almostroot> Doctorly: I found dozens of themes and how to install it with a quick google search.
[06:05] <nevyn> josephliu: better how?
[06:05] <nevyn> jiltdil: ^^
[06:05] <Doctorly> Yes, but I need to install a custom theme for unity specifically. Most will get from the repos and autoload into the settings, but not a custom theme
[06:06] <almostroot> Doctorly: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/delta-black-theme-for-gnome-shell-32.html Found using google.
[06:06] <jiltdil> nevyn, ??
[06:06] <Doctorly> No
[06:06] <almostroot> A link on the first result.
[06:06] <Doctorly> that isnt it
[06:06] <nevyn> jiltdil: define better.
[06:06] <Doctorly> [#ubuntu]
[06:06] <Doctorly> That is gnome shell
[06:07] <josephliu> nevyn, Hello?
[06:07] <nevyn> jiltdil: technically more capable, easier to use, easier to learn ...
[06:07] <nevyn> josephliu: sorry bad completion
[06:07] <dubey> anyone ?
[06:07] <josephliu> nevyn, it's okay. :-)
[06:08] <jiltdil> Nevyn, technically more correct and more features
[06:09] <Doctorly> I need to load a custom Unity theme, and no, unity is benchmarked much faster recently if used properly actually. It was fine in 11.04 but canon actually remvoed the features for custom loading for less confusion. Thanks for answering with exactly what I asked you not to answer with though, I will find the answer elsewhere.
[06:09] <almostroot> Doctorly: Try google. Found this: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/pink-theme-for-ubuntu-1110-unity-for.html And this: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/transparent-swar-red-unity-theme-for.html And #10 on this page: http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/09/08/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-11-10/
[06:09] <almostroot> Le sigh.
[06:09] <nevyn> jiltdil: there's cinepaint which supports greater bitdepth per channel
[06:10] <nevyn> what sorts of features are you after?

[06:25] <lwizardl> I was wondering what was the best way to take a LibreOffice calc sheet and export the fields to a pdf file while having it setup a certain layout ? basically what I am looking to do is take stuff like this www.wizardsarcade.com/example.ods and export the data like this www.wizardsarcade.com/example.pdf I can do it by hand but when I add the checkboxes to a couple of the lists libreoffice hangs due to having so many checkboxes (one l

[06:50] <EvilResistance> btw, that's policy
[06:50] <EvilResistance> pangolin will likely support that ;P
[06:50] <html> btw means?
[06:51] <v_v> by the way
[06:51] <html> thanks
[06:51] <Tech-1> we know what the policy is, being the room was at a stand still we just decided to create some chatter, no harm meant by it
[06:53] <html> yes and chattness mean people see it busy so i stick around,, i dont like a ghought channel
[06:53] <oobiloz> ghought?
[06:53] <Tm_T> please don't make noise here, this channel is active enough even without offtopic chatter
[06:54] <html> ghouts,,,, like  boo,, holloween?
[06:55] <elky> html, i think you mean ghosts
[06:55] <elky> either way, discuss ghosts in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[06:55] <EvilResistance> i think you mean ghosts.  but as ubottu said, and pangolin and Tm_T have both kindly supported... #ubuntu-offtopic is for the non-support chat.  either that, or #defocus (reenode chat channel)

[06:58] <jonathon> What's the command to have GRUB update itself after removing an OS?
[06:59] <ghufran> hi. i just installed ubuntu on my laptop. it said "installation complete and restart". i did so and it showed GRUB. but after selecting ubuntu, it doesn't show anything at all .. just the cursor at the start of the screen :S
[06:59] <ghufran> can someone please help?
[07:00] <CaptAnon> where is python suppose to get these bmp images from http://cs.simpson.edu/?q=bitmapped_graphics.py

[07:01] <kla> CaptAnon: #python
[07:03] <jonathon> SOmeone know the command to have GRUB update it's boot menu after I remove an OS?
[07:04] <ghufran> jonathon: i don't know but i think you can edit you grub menu by hand also. though its a bit risky :P
[07:04] <jonathon> Yea, But I figured the auto command would be easier
[07:04] <reisio> jonathon: update-grub, innit?
[07:04] <kla> jonathon: update-grub
[07:04] <CaptAnon> #python
[07:04] <CaptAnon> ?
[07:05] <jonathon> That works I suppose

[07:10] <adammw111> Hi, my sister wants to use the computer, how do I get a guest session in Ubuntu 11.10?
[07:11] <Yahosain> Hi is there any variable that gives me a device label?for example I have a cd named "pictures" in sr0.
[07:11] <Tm_T> adammw111: hmmm, isn't it as an option on the login screen?
[07:11] <vox> i'll ask it as question then. How do i stop ubuntu insisting that i cant boot with a degraded raidset, even tho the system lives on a seperate single disk, and the raidset is only used for file storage. ubuntu constantly dropping to busybox is not a solution. any ideas?
[07:11] <reisio> Tm_T: is it off topic to want to know what problem a user is having?
[07:11] <andyn> adammw111, Tm_T: there should be an option in the top right corner menu, too, if i am not mistaken
[07:11] <Tm_T> reisio: no, but the way he was putting it was offtopic (:
[07:11] <reisio> Yahosain: variable? for what?
[07:12] <reisio> Tm_T: mmm
[07:12] <adammw111> Tm_T: nope, where would it be? I only see my name and other... Only battery level in top right i think
[07:12] <Yahosain> something which would tell me the label of sr0 for example
[07:12] <adammw111> I was expecting it to be in the user menu like it was in 10.10 but its not there either
[07:12] <reisio> vox: couldn't you mount it after boot?
[07:13] <reisio> Yahosain: oh, it shows as PICTURES in another OS?
[07:13] <Yahosain> yes
[07:13] <reisio> Yahosain: if you look at it in a file manager (Nautilus, for example), it'd probably show
[07:13] <Yahosain> no I want it for a bash script
[07:13] <Yahosain> haha
[07:14] <Yahosain> something like a terminal command
[07:14] <vox> reisio: it will not boot. at all. since 11.10, if it cant start a raidset during boot time, it gives you an option to either a: not start the raidset and drop to busybox(not useful) or start the raidset and boot normally.. and then when the raidset wont start, because it's degraded, it drops to busybox anyway. so you cannot boot. at all.
[07:15] <pacal> Hello #ubuntu. My friend's unable to choose between the OS's on the list that GRUB gives. His keyboard is unresponsive except for when he pressed alt+ctrl+delete (at which point the computer just restarts, probably due to the BIOS). I've googled the problem, but it yields only solutions we've already tried: He has legacy support enabled on his usb-connected keyboard.
[07:15] <reisio> Yahosain: ah
[07:16] <reisio> Yahosain: there's a package for cd info somewhere, with a name something like 'cdinfo'
[07:16] <reisio> but IIRC you can grab a lot of info from /proc/
[07:18] <ghufran> installer for ubuntu 11.1 is stuck at "saving installed packages". installed earlier but couldn't boot into it due to some disk mounting issues. so now i am installing again.. but it appears it is stuck now .. :S
[07:18] <adammw111> I tried also /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-launch and my session locks but nothing else happens
[07:19] <reisio> Yahosain: cdrecord -v 127 -toc ?
[07:19] <kla> reisio: probably doesn't include such 'high-level' data as labels
[07:20] <html> ghufran,  do back to the good old 10.04 or 10.10  and its well documented if something goes amiss
[07:20] <reisio> never be able to find this in my log
[07:21] <Yahosain> reisio:wodim: No write mode specified.
[07:21] <Yahosain> wodim: Assuming -tao mode.
[07:21] <ghufran> html: thats much more trouble for me ..! though the power button has an option "Restart to complete updates" in red color .. does that mean its complete?
[07:21] <Yahosain> wodim: Future versions of wodim may have different drive dependent defaults.
[07:21] <Yahosain> wodim: Badly placed option. Global options must be before any track.
[07:21] <kla> Yahosain: isoinfo
[07:21] <reisio> Yahosain: is it just for Ubuntu or any distro?
[07:22] <html> yes, or its goona comeback and finsih it up
[07:22] <Yahosain> no just for ubuntu
[07:22] <reisio> Yahosain: is the label used for the mount name in /media/ ?
[07:22] <html> yes, or its goona comeback and finsih it up ghufran
[07:23] <Yahosain> no the label is used for sharing a device like DVDRW or USB hdd or any other on public network
[07:23] <Yahosain> im gonna mount the devices in public folder
[07:23] <ghufran> html: its the same thing. still trying to mount /media/Data even though i selected this time not to use that partition..
[07:23] <Yahosain> I thought it will be nice to put the devices labels on the folders
[07:24] <reisio> okay, well
[07:24] <reisio> if it's just for Ubuntu, you can just figure out what nautilus uses :P
[07:24] <nowimproved1> who likes gnome3 or whatever flavor of bs ubuntu uses?
[07:25] <kla> oh darn let me look..
[07:25] <Yahosain> if it is complicated i will just use sr0,sda4 ... for the names
[07:25] <reisio> nowimproved1: some people
[07:26] <reisio> Yahosain: you catch kla's suggestion?
[07:26] <kla> Yahosain: isoinfo -i /dev/sr0 -d | awk '/Volume\ id/{ print $3; }'
[07:28] <zosky> hi yall. what is the best (easiest!) way to scrape a <div> tag by name in my BASH script ?
[07:28] <Yahosain> isoinfo -i /dev/sr0 -d | awk '/Volume\ id/{ print $3; }' did it thankyou verymuch but the problem is that it will only give me the label for a cd or dvd not a hdd partition
[07:28] <nowimproved1> if you ask me they should have expanded on gnome2 and made it cleaner more simple.. win 7 style  people dont want that weird shit although gnome3 is better than unity bs
[07:28] <reisio> zosky: you want the info inside the tag?
[07:29] <reisio> Yahosain: oh
[07:29] <reisio> Yahosain: mmmm, blkid does that, but I don't recall if you need root
[07:29] <zosky> yes, raw (with all the contained <tables> and all)
[07:29] <kla> Yahosain: I'm not quite sure I understand your requirements but.. have you tried looking under /dev/disk/by-id/uuid/label ?
[07:30] <nowimproved1> ubuntu should ship with e17 def
[07:30] <reisio> zosky: there are a couple things in CPAN for doing it properly, otherwise you can use any number of nasty regex
[07:30] <reisio> nowimproved1: ha, imagine purple/orange/brown e17
[07:31] <nowimproved1> it could be good though reisio better than unity .. better than xfce and kde
[07:31] <Yahosain> I think I can do it by using both blkid and isoinfo
[07:31] <omido> can i install ubuntu and install its grub on its root partition and chainload its grub2 to my other Distro's bootloader?(which is grub legacy)
[07:32] <nowimproved1> they should find something and stick with it.. or make their own desktop environment
[07:33] <nowimproved1> things need to be more standard
[07:33] <reisio> good luck finding a commercial organization that'll agree with you on that
[07:33] <html> do what?
[07:33] <reisio> omido: chainload grub2 _from_ grub1?
[07:33] <ikonia> nowimproved1: what are you talking about at all ?
[07:33] <nowimproved1> ikonia, i dont even know
[07:34] <ikonia> nowimproved1: ok, best to stop then
[07:34] <nowimproved1> k
[07:34] <ikonia> thanks
[07:34] <nowimproved1> np
[07:34] <omido> reisio:  yeah .cause for me grub2 has been an unstable piece of crap.(maybe just for me )
[07:34] <ikonia> omido: how is grub2 unstable ?
[07:34] <Yahosain> blkid and isoinfo is the way thank you kla and reisio
[07:35] <omido> ikonia:  i had pclinuxos 2011 with pae kernel installed and then installed ubuntu 11.10 and choosed to install grub2 on MBR(where pclinuxos's grub was installed). ubuntu showed me pclinuxos in the bootloader selection but faild to boot it .
[07:36] <nowimproved1> install gentoo
[07:36] <ikonia> omido: define "failed to boot it"
[07:36] <ikonia> nowimproved1: again - what are you talking about ?
[07:36] <nowimproved1> holy instant. fast typer bubs
[07:36] <ikonia> nowimproved1: please stop talking nonsnese.
[07:36] <ikonia> nowimproved1: the channel is for ubuntu support discussion, can you keep to that topic please.
[07:36] <omido> ikonia:  i wonder when exactly you wanna stop being just a fan boy and become a real helper. cause you have always been like that
[07:37] <ikonia> omido: I'm asking you to define your problem so I can help you
[07:37] <omido> it faild to boot it showing errors which i dont exactly remember . now my issue is that i want to chainload ubuntu to another distro. isnt that clear enough ?
[07:37] <kla> or in canadian English: what are you taking a-boot?
[07:37] <ikonia> omido: I didn't see the question about you wanting to chainload, I just saw you stating grub2 is unstable, which is wrong and was trying to help
[07:38] <ikonia> omido: where is the grub1 bootsector installed on your system ?
[07:38] <omido> ikonia:  on MBR
[07:39] <ikonia> omido: ok, where is grub2 boot sector installed ?
[07:39] <omido> ikonia:  its not installed yet . i want to make sure if i can chainload it and then do the actual installition . i want to intall ubuntu's bootloader in its root partition
[07:40] <ikonia> omido: sure, you can chain load any other boot loader you want.
[07:40] <omido> i can easily chainload the distros which use grub legacy .i can also edit grub1's files and add other grub1 os. but i'm total noob when it comes to grub2 (seems like its a little diffrent)
[07:40] <ikonia> omido: just keep in mind, that if you install grub2 to the MBR, grub1 will be gone, so you'll need to install grub1 to somewhere else AND update the place it looks for the config files
[07:41] <ikonia> omido: why don't you just use grub1 instead of grub2 then ?
[07:41] <omido> ikonia:  thats exactly what i want to do . for me grub1 is better but i want to have ubuntu too .
[07:41] <ikonia> omido: ok - so you don't want to chainload at all then, you just want to install grub1
[07:42] <html> how do i fix the login mangers ?
[07:43] <omido> ikonia:  i have Grub1 installed(i installed PClinuxOS 2011 which uses grub 1 as default bootloader)
[07:43] <ikonia> omido: ok, so all you need to do is configure grub1 to point at the ubuntu boot files
[07:43] <ikonia> omido: don't need to install grub2 at all, and don't need to chain load
[07:44] <omido> ikonia:  i suck at command line or editing configuration files .
[07:44] <omido> thats why i came here to ask for help
[07:45] <ikonia> omido: if you need help, you'll get better help if you ask the right/proper question, eg: how do I edit grub1 to boot ubuntu, rather than "I want to chainload grub1 from grub2 and grub2 is unstable"
[07:45] <arooni-mobile> i have 11.10; i'm plugged in via ethernet.  how do i create a wireless network that allows other devices to connect (and share) my connection?   i have a thinkpad t420; with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card;   i have already tried 2-3 guides
[07:45] <ikonia> !ics | arooni-mobile
[07:47] <adam__> any gurus out there
[07:47] <ghufran> how do i edit proxy settings in ubuntu 11.10?? there used to be a global proxy tool earlier. but now there isn't ..
[07:47] <ikonia> omido: do you use a shared /boot partition between the 2 OS's ?
[07:47] <faLUCE>  Hi. I installed lubuntu 11.10 on a Intel BOXDG41AN mini-itx mobo (with Pentium dual core E5700). Then I installed few programs and created my own live distro, lubuntu 11.10 based, with Remastersys. Then I booted on another pc (Intel DH67CF LGA-1155 mini itx mobo, with cpu i5 2400) with this distro but the graphic card does not work. I can make it work only at low resolution with nomodeset. The rest is ok  How can I solve? Where can be the problem?
[07:47] <ikonia> adam__: just ask the question about the problem you are having
[07:48] <ikonia> faLUCE: we don't support your custom spins
[07:48] <faLUCE> ikonia: what a stupid answer
[07:48] <ikonia> ghufran: that tool should still be there, let me see if I can find the application name to call it,
[07:48] <ikonia> faLUCE: no, it's the factual answer, you are making your own ubuntu spin, we only support the official builds in this channel
[07:48] <faLUCE> ikonia: in addition, talk for yourself
[07:48] <adam__> lol i have a toshiba satellite with a realtek 8176 wireless  and i cant get the on board wireless to work
[07:48] <faLUCE> ikonia: stupid answer
[07:48] <ikonia> faLUCE: please drop the attitude, I'm just making you aware that your custom spin is something we don't support
[07:49] <faLUCE> ikonia: ok, I'll simply ignore you
[07:49] <omido> ikonia:  no i dont have.  right now the only operating system that i have installed is pclinuxos
[07:49] <html> yes we do, there parts that are known to be used in ubuntu
[07:49] <adam__> i have ubuntu 11.10 installed
[07:49] <ghufran> ikonia: its strange really. internet is working fine with "system settings". but installing software doesn't work.
[07:49] <html> yes we do, there parts that are known to be used in ubuntu (spins)
[07:49] <omido> faLUCE: ikonia is a knowledgable user. you have to respect him
[07:50] <omido> altough he is too much of an ubuntu fan booy
[07:50] <ikonia> omido: what are you talking about ubuntu fanboy ?
[07:50] <html> adam__,   well i know updating you grub it a must for that brand
[07:51] <omido> ikonia: when someone has issues with ubuntu you offend him/her
[07:51] <adam__> sorry semi noob and it has been a while
[07:51] <ikonia> omido: no, I don't
[07:51] <adam__> but it is fully updated
[07:51] <ikonia> adam__: are you comfortable using the command line at all ?
[07:52] <adam__> sorta
[07:52] <adam__> i am not on that pc atm
[07:52] <adam__> what do you have in mine
[07:52] <omido> i believe ubuntu needs something like YaST or Mandriva(mageia) control center ..
[07:53] <adam__> mind*
[07:53] <ikonia> omido: it has it, it's called software center, synaptic, aptitude, there are many package managers
[07:53] <ikonia> omido: and there are many configuration tools
[07:54] <html> adam__,  plug it in to a lan (wired connection) and see if it works and update it, and put this in
[07:54] <html> sudo apt-get upgrade grub
[07:54] <ikonia> adam__: just need you to get onto that PC and do "sudo iwconfig" see if any of the cards it sees have "wireless extensions"
[07:54] <omido> ikonia:  as a linux guru you know that YaST is a little bit diffrent ..
[07:54] <ikonia> omido: not really, it's just a package managment and configuration editor
[07:54] <RooTSh3LL> any one help me
