[03:55] <john__> one of you guys a few days ago gave me a command to execute run files
[03:55] <PlasmaSheep> mmomjian, it ususally works
[03:55] <mmomjian> do they both use the same dongle?
[03:55] <PlasmaSheep> mmomjian, yes
[03:55] <john__> it got passed the uncompressing
[03:55] <mmomjian> huh
[03:55] <mmomjian> does pressing ctrl+alt+f1 do anything?
[03:55] <john__> then it temporarily removed it
[03:55] <PlasmaSheep> mmomjian, back with 9.10 ubuntu did not get involved with bluetooth management, and it worked
[03:55] <mmomjian> I recommend a forum post
[03:55] <ennui> can anyone suggest a distro for me? I'd be running it on a PPC Powerbook G4
[03:55] <mmomjian> bluetooth is specialized
[03:56] <mmomjian> ennui: err, ubuntu?
[03:56] <PlasmaSheep> mmomjian, the keyboard shows "no connection"
[03:56] <PlasmaSheep> will do then
[03:56] <jma89> I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 installed but it keeps crashing after a period of inactivity with panic+0x48/0x20 (It did crash once while I was in nano.) I have the crash log still up next to me. (Yes, the CD passed verification and the install went flawlessly. This is the 2nd install.)
[03:56] <h00k> ennui: you can check with ##linux
[03:56] <john__> i used the chmod +x ./filename
[03:56] <john__> something like that
[03:56] <mmomjian> john__: yeah that's it
[03:56] <erpo> I want to run a game at a slower speed in Ubuntu 10.04. Suggestions?
[03:57] <john__> its ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run
[03:57] <john__> maybe you could help me with it
[03:57] <dugger5688> ennui: I *think* yellow dog is good on PPC
[03:57] <greezmunkey> jma89: did you do anything with the hardware before loading?
[03:57] <dugger5688> erpo: go into ur bios and clock the CPU down ;-). Why do you want to run it slower?
[03:57] <jma89> No. It ran 7.04 Desktop just fine before, but I reloaded it with 10.04 server and it started crashing when I let it be for a while.
[03:58] <erpo> dugger5688, It's a game. My reflexes aren't good enough.
[03:58] <waldy> Guys, firstly, hello......I am having issues with "The GNOME Panel" not rendering correctly in Ubuntu 10.4 - any news on that front?
[03:58] <erpo> dugger5688, And it's a laptop.
[03:58] <john__> i forgot what it was exactly ~cd  Download  chmod +x ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run;ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run
[03:58] <dugger5688> erpo: I have no idea then, I don't really think there's an easy way to slow down a game.
[03:59] <jma89> greezmunkey: Sorry I'm new to this IRC thing: No. It ran 7.04 Desktop just fine before, but I reloaded it with 10.04 server and it started crashing when I let it be for a while.
[03:59] <erpo> dugger5688, I think faketime might be able to do it, but libfaketime is not in the repos.
[04:00] <jma89> greezmunkey: I think it may be an ACPI thing, but I'm not sure. The call trace has been so long it's pushed the error data off screen until this last crash.
[04:00] <john__> mmomjian this is what i get Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version
[04:00] <john__> default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.32-22-generic-pae; make sure that the version is being
[04:00] <john__> correctly set by --iscurrentdistro
[04:02] <Zelozelos> please help me, im trying to change some colors, im using 10.04 (guessing its gnome), but 4 some reason if i choose a diff theme the only thing that changes is the window borders, see this http://www.pasteall.org/pic/4052   the colors i want 2 changed are marked
[04:02] <BiGViC> more research on my problem and it seems MULTIPLE people are having it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/576235
[04:02] <greezmunkey> jma89: I'm no expert on that, but on my desktop I have completely removed it. I had a few issues that I traced to that myself. Since I have removed it, no wierd problems.
[04:03] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> if you have a working Ubuntu installation but your bootloader is broken, is ther any way to boot into this install through a livecd instead of the livecd version?
[04:03] <jma89> greezmunkey: As in removed ACPI? If so then I may try it as well. It runs as a proxy/gateway at a youth camp, so having the hard drives spin down every now and then would save a lot of wear-and-tear.
[04:03] <john__> mmomjian you there
[04:04] <Flannel> Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: If you have an alternate CD (not the Desktop CD) you can do it via the "Rescue broken system" option at the boot menu
[04:04] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> The desktop cd can't do it?
[04:04] <Flannel> Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Although I believe that would also use the Alternate CD kernel, but the rest of it is your install.
[04:04] <Flannel> Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Not directly.  You might be able to massage something to get it to work after it's booted
[04:04] <greezmunkey> jma89: there are purpose built distros for that sort of thing, including ones that boot from a floppy, and run entirely in memory.
[04:05] <jma89> greezmunkey: Yeah, but it does more than just that. (Full LAMP w/ gateway and someday soon Samba for backing up the other computers. Low budget operation, I know. :-P)
[04:06] <pookymadness> how can i make gnome snap like windows does?
[04:06] <PlutoISaPlanet> I'm trying to create a FreeDOS USB bootdisk using UNetbootin but I'm not sure which drive is my flash drive.  My only option is /dev/sdb1... does that sound right?
[04:06] <jma89> greezmunkey: It ran 7.04 desktop doing this very thing for about 2 years, but I was rebuilding it and wanted to use 10.04 LTS server.
[04:06] <greezmunkey> jma89: you have two choices, ACPI or perhaps APM - but that's the extent of my knowledge on it.
[04:06] <Zelozelos> please please PLEASE somebody im soo sick of lookin at these drab greays/blacks 8-(  if i choose a diff theme the only thing that changes is the window borders, see this http://www.pasteall.org/pic/4052   the colors i want 2 changed are marked
[04:06] <FlyingBishop> PlutoISaPlanet: do you have a hd
[04:06] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> Flannel: I found the command I need to fix my bootloader, I just don't want to install the livdcd version in case its outdated now
[04:06] <jma89> greezmunkey: Ok. I'll give it a whack and see if that'll take care of it.
[04:06] <dugger5688> pookymadness: maybe this? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/11/aero-snap-ubuntu-linux.html
[04:07] <jma89> greezmunkey: Thanks for your assistance. :-)
[04:07] <PlutoISaPlanet> FlyingBishop: my dist. is installed on an HD
[04:07] <pookymadness> thanks dugger5688 :D
[04:07] <FlyingBishop> PlutoISaPlanet: If your hd is sda and you have no other volumes, that should be right
[04:07] <PlutoISaPlanet> FlyingBishop: sda = ?
[04:07] <dugger5688> google-fu +1!
[04:08] <FlyingBishop> PlutoISaPlanet: What do you see if you do an ls /dev/sd*
[04:08] <Flannel> Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Oh, you'd likely be able to do that from the LiveCD itself, you don't need to boot into the system to fix that usually.
[04:08] <PlutoISaPlanet> FlyingBishop: /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda5  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1
[04:09] <FlyingBishop> PlutoISaPlanet: yeah, so I'd guess that sda1-5 are your HD, and sdb1 would be the flash drive
[04:09] <PlutoISaPlanet> FlyingBishop: good enough for me... here goes ;)
[04:09] <Flannel> Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: It's unlikely that GRUB stage1 is outdated, you're using a grub command to install it, right?  You could specify your full path (/media/my-harddrive/bin/grub or whatever) and use that binary as well.
[04:10] <FlyingBishop> PlutoISaPlanet: If you're running desktop gnome you should be able to figure it out from running mount -l
[04:10] <PlutoISaPlanet> FlyingBishop: you nailed it. Thanks much
[04:10] <FlyingBishop> PlutoISaPlanet: mount -l will show you where everything's mounted
[04:11] <FlyingBishop> Anyone know if there's a way to keep audio playing out of X11 apps when you switch over to a virtual terminal?
[04:12] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: Were are you changing the themes? System>Preferences>Appearance or somewhere else?
[04:13] <karma_police> help! i have an nvidia card and cannot change my resolution.. prprietary drivers don't work right:( i'm also a noob
[04:13] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, thats the cause of all the issues, i tried a few diff programs b4, incl emeral theme manager, umm,,,gnome color chooser, and also right-click, and appearance, but now none will change those colors
[04:13] <SReject[a]> I have a video devices. One is on-board the other is an AGP card. Is there a way to set Ubuntu up to use the motherboard card, while windows uses the AGP? (Dual boot setup, Ubuntu 10.04,winXP Pro[Currently using but can switch if needed])
[04:13] <userffd> you are??
[04:13] <SReject[a]> i have two video*
[04:14] <karma_police> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[04:14] <dugger5688> SReject[a]: probably not, it's often controlled in the BIOS.
[04:14] <ian_> does anyone know where I can find instructions to print over a wireless network from windows to a printer on an ubuntu system?
[04:15] <userffd> hello
[04:15] <SReject[a]> dugger5688 i can set the bios up so that it is has dual moniter where i can select the primary display adapter.
[04:15] <FlyingBishop> ian_: look into setting up a samba print server
[04:15] <karma_police> does anyone know anything about nvidia and ubuntu and how to get them working together?
[04:16] <SReject[a]> karma_police depends on the card. If it's 2+ years old, nvidia isn't supporting it, meaning ubuntu can't
[04:16] <SReject[a]> though u might be able to find an open source driver
[04:16] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, im not sure what i messed up, but im almost positive something is (its sorta in my blood to mess things up rofl) short of a full reinstall i have no idea how to restore to the out-of-the-box configuration
[04:16] <dugger5688> karma_police: system->Administration->Hardware drivers
[04:17] <karma_police> i tried that... using nvidia current... computer is about 4-6 years old
[04:17] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: Hm, well the emerald is only supposed to change the window borders. In gnome-color-chooser, what did you change? Usually, you have to check a checkbox to change something from the default.
[04:17] <FlyingBishop> ian_: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-printserver.html
[04:17] <dugger5688> karma_police: what is the problem exactly? can't get closed source drivers?
[04:17] <SReject[a]> dugger5688 the reason I ask is because, Ubuntu has drivers for the on board device and not the AGP, and windows has drivers for the AGP and not the on-board
[04:18] <SReject[a]> not to mention, the on board only has 64mbs of mem
[04:18] <SReject[a]> :\
[04:18] <dugger5688> SReject[a]: what is the onboard?
[04:18] <copantl> a h
[04:18] <SReject[a]> Not even sure tbh
[04:18] <karma_police> i am trying to install a driver that works.. the recommended 96 driver only has 2 resolution settings and they are unbearably big
[04:18] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, that does change a lot for me, im still filling my way around which is for what
[04:18] <SReject[a]> Let me rephrase. Windows has the drivers for it, but they suck
[04:18] <SReject[a]> :\
[04:18] <karma_police> its onboard
[04:19] <dugger5688> SReject[a]: 'lspci | grep VGA' <- run that, and tell me.
[04:19] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, do you know which ones change the ones i marked in the screenshot?
[04:19] <SReject[a]> dugger5688 will have to switch to ubuntu
[04:19] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: Not really, just that the defaults for gnome color chooser are pretty much to have nothing checked.
[04:19] <SReject[a]> oh. The AGP card is a Radeon 9250
[04:20] <SReject[a]> which isn't supported anymore :'(
[04:20] <Shapeshiftr> ah, this is incredibly annoying
[04:20] <SReject[a]> Shapeshiftr what?
[04:20] <quietone> for lack of other ideas I am going to reinstall XP. Just need to check 2 things 1) will the install leave my other disk alone (data & ubuntu)? and 2) what do I do about grub?
[04:20] <dugger5688> SReject[a]: ahh, too bad.
[04:20] <Shapeshiftr> now I can't connect to my server via IP / web server at all
[04:20] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: You might try logging out and logging back in. I used to have problems with the theme not changing while I was logged in and I would work around it by logging out and logging back in. That was back when lucid was in beta though, so it might be fixed now.
[04:21] <Shapeshiftr> I could before, but my domain name was parked
[04:21] <SReject[a]> dugger5688 Like I tryed the RadeonDriver opensourced but couldn't get it to work
[04:21] <SReject[a]> :\
[04:21] <userffd> hello
[04:21] <dugger5688> SReject[a]: The radeon driver project is pretty good though :-)... lol, or not.
[04:21] <karma_police> windows will eat your grub
[04:21] <SReject[a]> dugger5688 or not
[04:21] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, i already tried restarting n stuff,,,i wish it was like the *heh i hate to say* one win uses (it lets you choose an area by clicking on a border part of a window, font etc)
[04:21] <SReject[a]> might have been user error though
[04:21] <Shapeshiftr> I switched the pointing IP in my GoDaddy preferences to my domain name + IP
[04:21] <harmandeep> Guys
[04:21] <dugger5688> SReject[a]: Is it a PCI-E card or AGP>
[04:21] <harmandeep>  as in gnome network manager applet, there is option of DISBALE NETWORKING ......... is that option available in network-manager-kde ?
[04:21] <SReject[a]> AGO
[04:21] <SReject[a]> AGP*
[04:22] <dugger5688> lame.
[04:22] <SReject[a]> very
[04:22] <quietone> karma_police, was that for me? what do I do about it?
[04:22] <Shapeshiftr> and then edited resolv.conf accordingly
[04:22] <Firefishe> how do I force kde 4.4.4 (in Kubuntu 10.04 LTS) to use nm-applet instead of knetwork-manager
[04:22] <SReject[a]> I got some other old cards am going to try(Currently am on a extra bits machine until cash comes around to make a good one)
[04:23] <karma_police> you will have to use a live cd to get it back.. its best to install windoze first then ubuntu if you can
[04:23] <dugger5688> I was in the same boat, so I feel your pain. Saved up and built a new one :-) soooo nice.
[04:23] <copantl> any body knows how to fix the network-manager and nm-applet issue?
[04:23] <Shapeshiftr> merp, anyone?
[04:23] <SReject[a]> dugger5688 very!
[04:23] <ian_> FlyingBishop thanks, it worked immediately without any configuration
[04:23] <ian_> just had to install samba
[04:23] <Shapeshiftr> I could connect to my server's IP before and get the It Works! page from apache
[04:23] <quietone> karma_police, I did do that and all was well until some days ago. Now XP won't boot and ubuntu (lucid) is so slow it is unuable.
[04:23] <dugger5688> SReject[a]: most from Nvidia are very compatible. You might have to go back to an older Ubuntu for VERY old ones.
[04:23] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, do u think if i uninstall the color chooser and others and retry appearance it will change those colors again?
[04:24] <SReject[a]> found this one @ the dump for $3USD all i had to do was change the processor out(inwhich I had an extra SockA AMD) and BAM my own computer
[04:24] <karma_police> u may need to update-grub
[04:24] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: Probably not.
[04:24] <Shapeshiftr> but now, after doing everything said various people here, i'm not working at all.
[04:24] <SReject[a]> dugger5688 got all sorts of cards. not just nVidia so i have my fingers crossed
[04:24] <Shapeshiftr> *it's
[04:24] <SReject[a]> just need more mem then what i got. Can't watch youtube or anything without it
[04:24] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: It would probably just remove the programs you could use to change the settings, but not the settings.
[04:25] <dugger5688> SReject[a]: I just threw out a socket A, lol. But there was nothing useable left in the box.
[04:25] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, looks like ill just have 2 keep on trying 2 find those areas...or eventually ill get so sick of the drab-ness ill reinstall |(
[04:26] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: From what I understand, a "complete removal" as synaptic calls it only removes system wide settings that were set.
[04:26] <Shapeshiftr> merp, greezmunkey ?
[04:26] <Shapeshiftr> nothing works now...
[04:26] <k-rad> oh?
[04:26] <karma_police> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. how do i do that?
[04:26] <cableguy> Hello all
[04:26] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: What happens if you create another user?
[04:26] <Shapeshiftr> I can't connect to my domain name or server IP
[04:27] <quietone> karma_police, thanks. and my second disk will be left alone by XP install?
[04:27] <johnmurdoch> Can someone tell me how to enable javascript with tor (using vidali and from looks of it polipo with torbutton)?
[04:27] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, !!oh good freakin idea man!! ill give that a try
[04:27] <karma_police> how do i run nvidia-xconfig as root?
[04:27] <johnmurdoch> sudo before
[04:27] <karma_police> i tried that
[04:27] <johnmurdoch> go sudo bash
[04:27] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, after i uninstall the others though right?
[04:28] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: You mean users?
[04:28] <Zelozelos> the other color/theme choosers etc
[04:29] <Shapeshiftr> :V can't anyone help?
[04:29] <SoftwareExplorer> Zelozelos: I don't think that would change anything. You should get a default theme in a new user, even if you have tools to change the theme installed.
[04:29] <deng> hello
[04:29] <johnmurdoch> Can someone tell me how to enable javascript with tor (using vidali and from looks of it polipo with torbutton)
[04:30] <Zelozelos> SoftwareExplorer, kk ill give it a try, thanks for helping, if that dont work ill just deal w it untill i kill something else...muhahaa its inevitable that i break something bad enough to have 2 reinstall anyhow
[04:30] <k-rad> i will have the most glorious death

[04:44] <symptom> Starcraft II is scheduled to be released on July 27th.  Finally a reason to use windows.
[04:45] <Blue1> symptom: why no use a virtual box?
[04:47] <symptom> because if im going to pay for windows Im going to put it on metal
[04:47] <Blue1> symptom: ahh I put my old win xp on virtual box - works well
[04:47] <symptom> especially a video game.... although I used to play world of warcraft on crossover
[04:48]  * Blue1 is NOT a  big game player...
[04:48] <Pen> My router is un-working. The cable from the modem when connected to the router (a NetGear) shows an Orange Light indicating the router is not recognizing the internet. If I conect from the modem to my computer, it works well. I have 4 other people that use the internet also.  I remember messing with the router adding a network trying to get the wireless internet to work but it didn't work. The router when on, It still won't recognize internet
[04:48] <Pen>  but it ONLY recognizes my wire from the router to my computer, and doesn't read the other 3 that are plugged in. Did I Fuck Something Up?
[04:48] <symptom> dont worry Ive been clean for over 6 years
[04:48] <falconair> (not sure if this channle is right) how do I add smp view (1) and full name view (c) to "top" when I run it in batch mode? (top -b)
[04:49] <Blue1> pen you can try a 30/30/30 reset YMMV applies
[04:49] <Pen> Would that erase all my files on Ubuntu?
[04:50] <Blue1> Pen: no it resets the modem to default condidition - so any port forwards, etc would be lost -- note this works for linksys
[04:50] <greezmunkey> Blue YMMV ??
[04:50] <Blue1> and dlink
[04:50] <Blue1> greezmunkey: your mileage may vary
[04:50] <Pen> Blue1,  how do I use?
[04:51] <adithya> hi
[04:51] <vu1kan> does anybody know what 'bonobo-activation-server' does?
[04:52] <Blue1> Pen: 30/30/30 reset -- while unit is powered on, push in the reset button for 30 seconds.  While the reset button is still pushed, remove the power for 30 seconds.   With the reset button still pushed for 30 seconds, re-apply the power.  That should re-set the router to whatever shipped from the factory.
[04:52] <johnmurdoch> how to set up irssi to run thru sock5 tor
[04:52] <symptom> Pen, dont worry I have trouble recognizing the Internet from time to time too.  that scurvy bastard is always changing things up.  Adding content, removing content, it was just yesterday that I was using &nbsp and now hes all like {text-align:right;}.  All I can think is.... when did he get so grown up!
[04:53] <bastidrazor> Blue1: or you could just hold the reset button till the lights stop blinking... normally 5 seconds or so.
[04:53] <Blue1> Pen: so 90 secs - but at least you should be able to start over - I have never used netgear, so I don't know if it will work - but it does with linksys and dlink
[04:53] <johnmurdoch> anyone
[04:53] <Blue1> bastidrazor: 30/30/30 reset required if you flash a modem with different software --
[04:54] <Blue1> err flash the router
[04:54] <Pen> I'll do it now

[04:54] <Blue1> k
[04:55] <greezmunkey> Blue1: not really, it amounts to an overkill that the doc writers of dd-wrt figure is as fool proof as possible - in order to get to the next point in their load proceedure.
[04:55] <Blue1> bastidrazor: my router (linksys wrt54gl) doesn't run linksys software, because the stock software doesn't support dhcp reservations.  but dd-wrt does, so I had to go through this routine, in order to get the new software to work - again YMMV applies.
[04:55] <n1lqj> Does anyone have any ideas on how to set up an equalizer in Ubuntu for everything going to /dev/dsp?
[04:56] <Blue1> greezmunkey: yup, but it works!
[04:56] <Blue1> n1lqj: I wish I knew, but I don't --
[04:57] <n1lqj> yeah, been diagnosed with a moderately severe hearing imparement, was wondering if I could use laptop in class until I can figure out the hearing aid issue
[04:58] <gpm> i have the totem plugin installed and it can play the videos but it seems like it's always stuck on pause even after i click the play button, any clues?
[04:58] <Blue1> n1lqj: yes, I also have a moderate hearing impairment
[04:58] <marcuy> I kill tvtime but my sound screwed up, and now it makes a weird sound every time I start tvtime.. any ideas?
[04:58] <Blue1> n1lqj: it's why I use guayadeque for an mp3 player -- has en eq -- amarok doesn't and backporting doesn't work well
[04:58] <n1lqj> dsp in laptop should be good enough.  I patched VLC to add an equalizer setting but that only works on movies etc
[04:59] <n1lqj> vlc had equalizer, I jsut added my setting
[04:59] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> I can't get grub2 to install, it says "cannot find a device for /boot/grub"
[04:59] <Blue1> n1lqj: can you send patches on how you fixed vlc?
[04:59] <Blue1> ahh 3 min warning...
[05:00] <n1lqj> sure.  I took my hearing curve, and dropped all audio 2k and below by 10db and boosted 3k by 7.5db and everything higher by 20db and ran it in two pass
[05:00] <n1lqj> then patched vlc so the setting was a preconfigured option
[05:00] <n1lqj> that give me my 60db at 4kc
[05:01] <n1lqj> G-d, everything sounded so wierd to me
[05:01] <Blue1> n1lqj: I need full treble (no bass)
[05:01] <Roasted> where does ubuntu save your wallpaper to?
[05:01] <n1lqj> ~/Pictures I believe
[05:02] <marcuy> how to free a sound card device?
[05:02] <Roasted> n1lqj, well yeah, I was curious if it saved it anywhere else
[05:02] <Roasted> I cant track down this picture I want whcih hapepnst o be my wallpapers
[05:02] <Roasted> which happens to be*
[05:02] <n1lqj> I'm sure it does let me look into it for a sec
[05:02] <Blue1> Roasted: I have mine in an different folder, and just point it there - works great
[05:02] <Roasted> oh sweet
[05:02] <Roasted> nevermin djust found the pic I want
[05:03] <Blue1> marcuy: what do you mean "free?"
[05:03] <bsmith093> in totem how do i show the visualization rather that any art with a podcast
[05:03] <bivo> can I  install netbook remix directly to a usb flash stick? I tried the method in the wiki, but that treats it as if it's a live cd.
[05:03] <Blue1> bivo: yeah you shoule be able to -- when i...oh wait that was 9.10 -all bets are off in 10.04 - I don't know.
[05:04] <Blue1> i haven't upgraded to 10.04 on all machines because the gnome-control-center is broken
[05:04] <marcuy> Blue1, I've executed "tvtime | arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 48000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay" but when I killed tvtime application the sound continued so I killed arecord and now I don't have sound at alla, I just listen noise
[05:04] <bsmith093> whats is tvtime?
[05:04] <n1lqj> blue tried to PM my email addy PM me so I can email the patch
[05:04] <marcuy> *all
[05:05] <Blue1> n1lqj: thanks emailed you
[05:07] <electrofreak> question.... it seems I have a dir by the name of: "
[05:07] <electrofreak> in my root /. How can i delete it?
[05:07]  * greezmunkey eats ice cream and watches wrestling
[05:07] <electrofreak> yes, literally, a quotation mark
[05:07] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> Can anybody please help me get grub2 installed?
[05:08] <wildbat> !grub2 | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt
[05:08] <crush> anybody here have experience with Ubuntu on PPC?
[05:08] <n1lqj> this is so stupid, pidgin, I turned on the plug in to stop annoying join part messages and it does, but the sound still plays, which is the annoying part
[05:09] <n1lqj> Does ubuntu support PPC?
[05:09] <xangua> n1lqj: disable sound in the preferences
[05:09] <electrofreak> ok.... another question... it seems in my attempts to delete that dir.... I have effed up my server... I can't execute any commands anymore. HOWEVER.... all the files seem to still be there.
[05:09] <crush> it's community supported after 6.10
[05:09] <xangua> i don't n1lqj
[05:09] <xangua> !ppc | n1lqj
[05:09] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> wildbat: that dosen't help
[05:09] <electrofreak> I am currently looking at it from a rescue disk. does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
[05:09] <n1lqj> I like the sound, but I get the drift
[05:10] <n1lqj> PPC, see debian I would think is best choice
[05:10] <foxmulder881> Gentoo also for ppc.
[05:10] <crush> I'm to use my old powerbook to pen test my network and can'tget the wireless to work in monitor mode very well
[05:10] <foxmulder881> If you're feeling up to the Gentoo task!
[05:11] <n1lqj> can't remember what I patched running grep
[05:11] <wildbat> Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, the guide there should walk you thru a complete install of grub2
[05:12] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> I am following that, and getting an error
[05:12] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> Though I am also using a disk module option
[05:13] <Roasted> if I checked "remember forever" for one of my passwords to a samba server, how can I erase that?
[05:13] <Jolhalla> hi
[05:14] <electrofreak> Roasted: Applications -> Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys?
[05:14] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> I am trying "sudo grub-install --disk-module=ata /dev/sda" and I get "cannot find a device for /boot/grub"
[05:15] <electrofreak> Roasted: aught to be listed there.... and you can just remove it
[05:15] <Jolhalla> well, why are people only sudo'ing instead of running as root
[05:15] <Salvad1> Hello. Is there some kind of brand of preference at the time of buying a netbook for installing Ubuntu?
[05:15] <Roasted> electrofreak, bingo! thank you
[05:15] <Salvad1> I mean, for compativily reasons.
[05:16] <Salvad1> *Compatibility, not compativily.
[05:16] <Jolhalla> I think HP's are good one
[05:16] <Salvad1> Are those fully compatible?
[05:16] <n1lqj> patch sent
[05:16] <n1lqj> not a diff, simply instructions on the lines to change
[05:17] <Jolhalla> I'm using one lolz
[05:17] <Avasz> i copied /var/cache/apt/archives from my 10.04 to another fresh installation of 10.04. how can i use then now?
[05:17] <wildbat> Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, read the install grub from live CD section
[05:17] <n1lqj> one error.  its gedit audio_filter.h not gedit audio_filter
[05:18] <k-rad> "i'm sorry" <click>
[05:18] <electrofreak> I'm having trouble booting my server.... says /sbin/init: no such file or directory. However... when looking at it with a rescue disk... the file is there! and readable!
[05:18] <n1lqj> is the boot loader looking at wrong partition?
[05:20] <n1lqj> The file containing the wallpaper list is ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml
[05:20] <electrofreak> n1lqj: no
[05:20] <starnostar> can someone help me with samba sharing?
[05:20] <n1lqj> starnostar sure
[05:20] <n1lqj> what version of ubuntu?
[05:20] <tgudlek> can I ask for Mint 9 help here?
[05:20] <starnostar> I am trying to get a share going between a windows xp machine and this computer (ubuntu) but it only works on wireless
[05:20] <IdleOne> !mint | tgudlek
[05:21] <schnerf> ok. I'm rather new to this terminal thing, and I started a wget of a rather large file on an ssh terminal on my new ubuntu server. It's gone for about an hour and a half now. I planned to go to bed so it can download for the next day or so. However, I forgot to use screen before starting it, so I have to leave my other computer on the whole time, too, which is what I wanted to avoid. What might I do so that I can leave that running, and reat
[05:21] <n1lqj> okay, lets start with super basics just to make sure everything is kosher, okay?
[05:21] <starnostar> wont work on wired, i am on a bandwidth cap and use vnstat to monitor my wifi, i wont do samba through wifi, cant get it to work on eth0
[05:21] <Pen> didn't work ....
[05:21] <starnostar> sure
[05:21] <n1lqj> open a terminal
[05:21] <electrofreak> n1lqj: 10.04
[05:21] <n1lqj> 10.04 is grub2, not much experience
[05:21] <tgudlek> !mintsupport
[05:22] <electrofreak> n1lqj: a little more info.... I was just booted into the system, but was unable to execute many commands... except was what cached it seems....
[05:22] <Avasz> !apt
[05:22] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> wildbat: Thanks, although its strnage since I have reinstalled grub multiple times and never had to use those --bind options before, but that worked
[05:22] <electrofreak> looking at it with a rescue disk, everything is there and working.... but for some reason I can't boot it.... something is very messed up
[05:22] <n1lqj> okay one sec electrofreak on a prob right this sec
[05:23] <n1lqj> starnostar $ sudo -s
[05:23] <wildbat> Cyber_Akuma-Lapt,  you need bind for chroot
[05:23] <starnostar> kk
[05:23] <n1lqj> apt-get update && apt-get install samba sambafs
[05:23] <starnostar> did all that, got it working perfectly on wifi
[05:24] <n1lqj> okay, I have an idea
[05:24] <n1lqj> do you have a firewall configurator loaded?
[05:24] <michael_> i dont know if this is the right place to ask this but im not sure what command i ran in the terminal or what application i ran but my computer seems to be running slower what can i do to see what i did wrong so i can fix it
[05:24] <n1lqj> wifi is different card
[05:24] <starnostar> i have them plugged directly into each other, i have gotten this to work easilly from windows to windows and mac to mac, even ubuntu to ubuntu, but it dosent like ubuntu to windows
[05:25] <starnostar> usually i just plug the cord in and boom...done
[05:25] <greezmunkey> starnostar: can one ping the other?
[05:25] <foxmulder881> michael_: that has to be one of the broadest questions I've ever seen to date.
[05:25] <n1lqj> yeah, it is a thing with Windows XP, I'm assuming that is what you are running now that I think of the problem
[05:25] <starnostar> they dont even see each other, both ethernet ports are working (checked) and the cord is good (checked that too)
[05:26] <n1lqj> what version of XP?
[05:26] <greezmunkey> starnostar: can one ping the other?
[05:26] <starnostar> gimme a sec to get local ip for netbook
[05:26] <foxmulder881> michael_: do this. sudo apt-get install htop
[05:26] <IdleOne> michael_: you can use the arrow up key to see a "history" of commands you ran
[05:27] <starnostar> yup, ping works
[05:27] <greezmunkey> starnostar: Open up Places and find a folder in your home directory, right click on the folder icon, and select "sharing options" check the box, and close out. Go to one of your winboxes and see if you can "see" it in network neighborhood.
[05:27] <foxmulder881> michael_: once installed, run htop in terminal and see if you can find what process is using all of your systems resources.
[05:27] <starnostar> did that too, tested it on about 3 different folders
[05:27] <n1lqj> okay, do you have a firewall package installed in Ubunta?
[05:27] <n1lqj> Ubuntu
[05:27] <schnerf> is there anyone who knows what to do if I forgot to use a "screen" command before starting something that's going to take a long time?
[05:28] <starnostar> no, and now ping is unreachable, firewall in windows is disabled to rule it out (restarted afterwards too)
[05:28] <n1lqj> no ubuntu firewall
[05:28] <n1lqj> package such as firestarter
[05:28] <starnostar> yup, no ubuntu firewall
[05:28] <michael_> thank yo foxmulder haha i just bought the entire xfiles dvds
[05:28] <n1lqj> sudo apt-get install firestarter
[05:28] <starnostar> vaniall install, just a few days ago
[05:28] <rww> !ufw
[05:28] <foxmulder881> michael_: good stuff mate.
[05:29] <starnostar> firestarter is a firewall im guessing
[05:29] <michael_> i just downloaded it im sort of a newb to llinux but i love learning everything about it
[05:29] <n1lqj> firewall is ip tables in the kernel, firestarter is a configurator
[05:29] <greezmunkey> starnostar: it is a front end for iptables
[05:29] <michael_> ok so how do i run htop in linux
[05:29] <michael_> in terminal
[05:30] <gpm> schnerf: i think you just have to start over
[05:30] <gpm> schnerf: (in screen)
[05:30] <foxmulder881> michael_: open a terminal and type htop
[05:30] <starnostar> should i enable dhcp
[05:30] <schnerf> that's what I was afraid of.
[05:31] <dugger5688> michael: cntrl+alt+t
[05:31] <n1lqj> did you install firestarter?
[05:31] <michael_> awsome  what exactly should i be looking for
[05:31] <starnostar> yup
[05:31] <n1lqj> sudo firestarter
[05:31] <eliotn__> yay
[05:31] <greezmunkey> starnostar: why not simply staticly define the ehternet interfaces?
[05:31] <eliotn__> I has a flaming executioners axe
[05:31] <schnerf> well, I'll call it a learning experience.
[05:31] <foxmulder881> dugger5688: that's assuming he's running lucid.
[05:31] <n1lqj> greezmunkey, let me have him check this simple thing first
[05:32] <dugger5688> Was it not that before? lol, I always set it to that.
[05:32] <starnostar> kk, check what now?
[05:32] <foxmulder881> michael_: scroll down and view what is using lots of cpu and mem.
[05:32] <greezmunkey> n1lqj: go for it, sorry :)
[05:32] <foxmulder881> dugger5688: nope. New to lucid I think.
[05:32] <Pen> having a router, can having Ubuntu on 1 computer, fuck it up for the router for others who run Windows Xp?
[05:32] <foxmulder881> dugger5688: I always set it to Windows key.
[05:32] <n1lqj> starnostar, okay once into firestarter, under preferences you should have settings, under one of the tabs on the left you'll see filter settings on the right.  Make sure network broadcasts are enabled
[05:33] <tsimpson> Pen: first, please watch your language. second, no it won't effect the router or other computers connected
[05:33] <n1lqj> Samba is a network broadcast protocol
[05:33] <greezmunkey> Pen: dude
[05:33] <Xcell> i c what it this is. these folks are forensically subjugating their constituents, meaning, we the simple people R done....watch.
[05:33] <starnostar> kk
[05:34] <Pen> Sorry, forgot kids get help here.
[05:34] <n1lqj> okay, is network broadcast enabled?
[05:34] <foxmulder881> Pen: lol. We need a #ubuntu-adultsonly channel.
[05:34]  * fr1sco is a RDR gangsta
[05:34] <starnostar> there are options to block broadcasts, i turned them off
[05:35] <n1lqj> l. try it now
[05:35] <n1lqj> hit apply first
[05:35] <starnostar> still unreachable
[05:35] <n1lqj> okay, now under policies, inbound click on that tab
[05:35] <ennui> so i just booted my old PPC mac from a ubuntu start up disc. though it doesn't have the wireless driver it seems. can I connect that comp to this one with an ethernet cable to share the internet connection?
[05:36] <foxmulder881> Back in 30 mins.
[05:36] <michael_> the top of the cpu list reads as follows command: usr/bin/x :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-vrgdm/database -nolisten -tcp
[05:36] <n1lqj> loading firestarter hang a sec
[05:36] <Pen> My problem is similar to this guys. http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=41201&start=0
[05:37] <starnostar> under policy there is only one checkbox
[05:37] <n1lqj> hold on, I need to see what I am doing
[05:37] <starnostar> oh, you mean not in setting, in main window?
[05:37] <n1lqj> click policy
[05:38] <n1lqj> its a tab on the right of the tabs
[05:38] <Pen> the router doesn't recognize the cable coming from the modem, it does if the modem is directly plugged into my computer, but other than that, it's too slow for it to work. Its an ORANGE light on my netgear router
[05:38] <n1lqj> is linux machine behind another firewall?
[05:38] <starnostar> no, direct connect from ethernet port to ethernet port
[05:38] <Pen> for?
[05:38] <n1lqj> no I mean in normal operation
[05:39] <starnostar> hardware firewall (router)
[05:39] <n1lqj> okay, for now click on white area under allow connections from host
[05:39] <n1lqj> click + button
[05:39] <michael_> my firefox keeps messing up pretty much
[05:39] <n1lqj> add <IP_ADDRESS>/0
[05:39] <n1lqj> click apply
[05:39] <n1lqj> this shuts off the firewall pretty much
[05:40] <n1lqj> just for now
[05:40] <Guest68622> Hi, some body can help with whit this, im need to boot ubuntu on usb, the usb is ok with unebootin but with grub4dos has problems
[05:40] <Guest68622> my menu.lst is this

[05:40] <starnostar> kk
[05:40] <michael_> like right now the ubuntu homepage pretty much got a gray haze over it
[05:40] <michael_> in mozzilla
[05:40] <n1lqj> any luck?
[05:40] <dd> Whoever kicked me is an idiot. Pen isn't even a used name.
[05:41] <starnostar> nope
[05:41] <n1lqj> Okay, what version of windows?
[05:41] <michael_> whenever i click on my browser it turns gray
[05:41] <starnostar> xp sp3
[05:41] <n1lqj> what version of XP, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Home Edition
[05:42] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> Sigh, the Radeon 9600Pro isn't supported in 10.04 is it?
[05:42] <starnostar> ya, came with my wind
[05:42] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> Is that over for the 9600 or are they still considering releasing drivers?
[05:42] <n1lqj> Okay, from experience, Home edition only links w/ home edition, won't link with Windows server or Linux samba
[05:42] <n1lqj> or vista
[05:42] <wildbat> Guest68622, "live-media-path=/meta" should be /meta/casper
[05:43] <michael_> do i have a virus in ubuntu?
[05:43] <starnostar> it works on wifi though, i dont see why there would be a difference
[05:43] <edbian> michael_, No, it's just firefox being bloated :)  Is this an older machine?
[05:43] <lzz_> hhgfg
[05:43] <electrofreak> quick question, what precisely does update-initramfs do?
[05:43] <voss749> n1, I can print from linux to an XP home computer hosting a printer
[05:43] <n1lqj> Thats why I had you drop the firewall and enable the boradcasts.  wifi is using a seperate router though right?
[05:43] <tharkun> electrofreak: use your brain it is self explanatory
[05:43] <ennui> if I am formating my PPC's HD. whay "type" should I choose? It will only be running ubuntu
[05:43] <starnostar> ya
[05:44] <michael_> nope its kinda reachinig its peak but its fairly fast its an hp pavillion a6567
[05:44] <starnostar> where is the samba.conf file located?
[05:44] <electrofreak> tharkun: yea, but.... what file does it touch?
[05:44] <edbian> michael_, Really?  What site are you on?  Is it flash intensive?
[05:44] <n1lqj> /etc/samba
[05:44] <n1lqj> try the router instead of direct connect
[05:44] <n1lqj> see what happens
[05:44] <michael_> not at all its the ubuntugoogle homepage
[05:44] <edbian> michael_, What kind of processor?
[05:45] <tharkun> ennui: if you are running a server go for ext3 else whatever you feel like
[05:45] <greezmunkey> n1lqj: starnostar check this out: http://www.howtodothings.com/computers/a2335-how-to-connect-linux-and-xp-machines.html
[05:45] <starnostar> kk, i might be on later than, gonna have to re-wire it
[05:45] <michael_> intel core 2 quad
[05:45] <edbian> michael_, Ok, you should be fine.  Is this a flash intensive site?
[05:45] <electrofreak> n1lqj: I'm still in the rescue disk and I can't even chroot to my partition because /bin/bash doesn't exist (but it does). anyideas?
[05:46] <edbian> michael_, Also, take a look at top.
[05:46] <michael_> i can tell somethings funny with the system it just happened today though when i started up the system and logon the sound happened way later
[05:46] <starnostar> allright, ill be back, maybe a log out and log in will fix it
[05:46] <joey_> Question: I'm trying to install Lucid on an older ocmputer with NVIDIA graphics. The nv binary driver works fine on the livecd, but it seems to be installing nouveau by defualt, and will only boot with a command line. Is there a way to use nv right off the bat when installing it?
[05:46] <edbian> michael_, Look at top
[05:46] <ennui> tharkun: not a server I'm afraid. It's a mac. I know some formats are incompatable with booting OSX but this will only have ubuntu on it.
[05:46] <n1lqj> electrofreak, at prompt type df
[05:46] <n1lqj> $ drf
[05:46] <n1lqj> sorry $ df
[05:47] <n1lqj> what are the mounted partitions?
[05:47] <michael_> idk what to look at lol
[05:47] <n1lqj> if you boot rescue disk, you need to mount your hd to /mnt somewhere
[05:47] <electrofreak> my root drive at /mnt/root/
[05:48] <michael_> OK FIREFOX is working normally again
[05:48] <n1lqj> is this a fresh install of 10.04 or an upgrade?
[05:48] <tharkun> ennui: then the one you feel like. xfs seems to be quite nice ;P
[05:48] <electrofreak> n1lqj: please understand, I'm pretty comfortable with linux... I know basics like what is mounted and stuff... it seems there is something wrong with my filesystem
[05:48] <AAA> electrofreak  try /target/bin/bash
[05:48] <edbian> michael_, What did you do to fix it?
[05:48] <n1lqj> Trying to determine if you have grub or grub2
[05:48] <electrofreak> AAA: that does work
[05:48] <michael_> but i know something is funny in my system it shouldnt be anything hard to fix but i dont know what to look fo
[05:48] <edbian> michael_, In a terminal type "top"
[05:49] <edbian> michael_, press q to exit top
[05:49] <michael_> lol i just restarted firefox
[05:49] <michael_> ok im in top
[05:50] <electrofreak> AAA: but chroot does NOT work... it can't execute /bin/bash for some reason.... claims it doesn't exist
[05:50] <Guest68622> what is worng with my menu.lst?, i used this reference http://paste.ubuntu.com/451915/  for make this  http://paste.ubuntu.com/451917/
[05:50] <hotfloppy> if i create an usb live cd on my thumbdrive, will all the other data remains ? or will it been wiped ?
[05:50] <edbian> michael_, It lists processes that are taking the most cpu at the top.  See?
[05:50] <AAA> electrofreak  try using busybox maybe
[05:50] <n1lqj> /bin/bash or /mnt/root/bin/bash?
[05:50] <michael_> indicator app[le just showed 9999 cpu
[05:50] <AAA> electrofreak  are you giving chroot the full /target path?
[05:50] <ennui> I know for a fact there was osx on this machine but the disk utility on the ubuntu live CD says the hard drive is all "free" despite it having several partitions of an "unknown scheme".
[05:51] <ennui> I should format it to be sure I imagine
[05:51] <electrofreak> AAA yes
[05:51] <cyrex> #gulcr
[05:51] <cyrex> join #gulcr
[05:51] <Flannel> cyrex: /join
[05:51] <dd> how do I install this netgear router in UBUNTU?
[05:51] <AAA> electrofreak  maybe add /target/bin do your PATH
[05:51] <dd> It for some reason ..... wont?
[05:52] <edbian> dd,
[05:52] <dd> it's a cd.
[05:52] <greezmunkey> dd: just set it up with your browser, you don't need the cd :)
[05:52] <n1lqj> dd toss the cd
[05:52] <desevg> Hi, how I can display list of directory by pages in a ftp session?
[05:52] <desevg> When I write ls -al | more, it outputs:
[05:52] <desevg> output to local-file: more[anpqy?]?:
[05:52] <desevg> If I write local path, file is created, but it is empty.
[05:52] <desevg> please, tell me, how I can get list fo directories from ftp server?
[05:52] <FloodBot1> desevg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:52] <electrofreak> AAA busybox does seem to be working in the chroot...
[05:52] <ennui> damn... disc utility is failing to format or delete the partitions...
[05:52] <AAA> electrofreak  maybe trick it by symlinking to /bin ?
[05:52] <hotfloppy> if i create an usb live cd on my thumbdrive, will all the other data remains ? or will it been wiped ?
[05:53] <edbian> dd, You don't install a router on a computer.  Those disc's that come with routers are just silly windows software.  Totally unnecessary.  They just make it easier to do things the web interface can do.
[05:53] <dd> ah
[05:53] <cyrex> edbian is right
[05:53] <electrofreak> AAA, I dunno when you stepped in, but basically... I can't boot from this system anymore
[05:53] <joey_> Question: I'm trying to install Lucid on an older ocmputer with NVIDIA graphics. The nv binary driver works fine on the livecd, but it seems to be installing nouveau by defualt, and will only boot with a command line. Is there a way to use nv right off the bat when installing it?
[05:53] <dd> crap, this problem is very straining ....
[05:53] <edbian> dd, Set up the router, make the connections, plug your computer into it (ethernet) and type <IP_ADDRESS>  into firefox.
[05:53] <cyrex> just connecte the router with the ethernet cable to the pc
[05:53] <hotfloppy> !liveusb
[05:53] <cyrex> then configure it using the appropriate IP
[05:54] <electrofreak> AAA and while I was running it (before I went to the rescue disk), I as unable to execute a lot of commands
[05:54] <hotfloppy> !livecd
[05:54] <AAA> electrofreak  just now. lemme scrollup
[05:54] <n1lqj> electrofreak, still guestion I have is you tried to reinstall grub or grub2 from /boot/grub and reboot?
[05:54] <dd> lets' see if it works
[05:54] <dd> brb
[05:54] <dd> brb
[05:54] <FloodBot1> dd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:54] <dd> ok
[05:54] <michael_> ok so theese are my problems flash pages fuck up firefox my audio controll in the top task bar wont let me controll volume but it works and when i login things seem funny also when i try to extract a .rar file i get this error Reading the archive '/home/michael/Downloads/Hottub-crazydude36.rar' failed with the error 'Failed to locate program 'unrar' in PATH.'
[05:54] <electrofreak> n1lqj: nope.... haven't touched it... grub isn't the problem
[05:55] <n1lqj> what was original prob again?
[05:55] <edbian> michael_, Oh where to start.  archive problem: "sudo apt-get install unrar"
[05:55] <edbian> michael_, i don't understand the problem about the audio applet or logging in.  What the heck does funny mean?
[05:56] <n1lqj> I mean when you look under /mnt/root your filesystem is still there?  at least the directory entries?
[05:56] <edbian> michael_, To fix flash you have to convince adobe to write better flash player software for linux or convince the web to switch entirely to html5
[05:56] <edbian> michael_, Or write your own flash player!  (Please do that would be swell)
[05:56] <electrofreak> n1lqj: yes
[05:56] <foxmulder881> If anyone missed me, I'm back now.
[05:56] <michael_> your awesome adbian
[05:56] <michael_> edbian
[05:56] <AAA> electrofreak  did you run chkrootkit ?
[05:57] <michael_> ill describe to you what i mean by funny in a bit
[05:57] <wedg> are there any decent linux certs?
[05:57] <electrofreak> AAA, no... should that be in chroot?
[05:57] <edbian> michael_, No prob  Thanks! :)
[05:57] <AAA> electrofreak  I'd try there
[05:57] <electrofreak> AAA, how would I go about running that?
[05:58] <desevg> Hi, how I can display list of directory by pages in a ftp session? When I write ls -al | more, it outputs: output to local-file: more[anpqy?]?: If I write local path, file is created, but it is empty. please, tell me, how I can get list fo directories from ftp server?
[05:58] <coz_> hey guys...has there been any progress with installling "official" nvidia drivers on lucid??  the ones offereed in jockey are real sucky :)
[05:58] <electrofreak> AAA, I dunno what I have such an executable....
[05:58] <michael_> well when i login things are happening a bit slower and the startup jungle beat didnt happen untill about 3 minutes later and it usually started imediatly
[05:58] <n1lqj> sudo apt-get install chkrootkit
[05:58] <n1lqj> sudo chkrootkit
[05:59] <edbian> michael_, ha ha.  Really?  I would just keep a close eye on "top"  It's a great program! :)  Watch it for things sucking up a lot of the processor and then google those processes.
[05:59] <ennui> trying to install ubuntu on my old PPC but it seems stuck after the part where I choose the time. Is there a way to check to make sure the HD isn't damage? it would give me some sort of error at some point if it couldn't complete the installation right?
[05:59] <n1lqj> hell I'm running it for good measure
[05:59] <AAA> electrofreak  ok, really just a thought. there is a chance your binaries don't exe because of a rootkit. I don't know how much of a chance that is.  did you recently add new software? or change your filesystem in some way?
[05:59] <electrofreak> n1lqj: no apt-get is possible it seems....
[06:00] <AAA> electrofreak  then install it I say
[06:00] <electrofreak> AAA, well.... I have a dir in my root by the name of: "
[06:00] <n1lqj> electrofreak:  this is booting off the rescue cd and no apt-get?
[06:00] <electrofreak> AAA, yes, literally a quatation
[06:00] <yokishi> does FDE in ubuntu on the alt install cd erase all previous data?
[06:00] <AAA> electrofreak  the dir name is >>> " <<< that " char?
[06:01] <electrofreak> n1lqj: I could apt-get on the live-cd.... but dunno what good that would do
[06:01] <electrofreak> AAA correct
[06:01] <electrofreak> AAA is that evidence of a rootkit??
[06:01] <n1lqj> you can download the .deb and install with aptitude in a jam, save to a thumb drive
[06:01] <electrofreak> AAA that would suck.... and I'd be lost as to how/when it got there
[06:01] <AAA> electrofreak  hard to say, but fishy for sure. what is in it? who owns it?
[06:02] <electrofreak> AAA root, nothing in it
[06:02] <n1lqj> this makes no dang sense.
[06:02] <AAA> electrofreak  date? atime?
[06:02] <yokishi> does FDE in ubuntu on the alt install cd erase all previous data?
[06:02] <electrofreak> AAA and basically impossible to remove. I was attempting to remove it before all this happened
[06:02] <electrofreak> AAA, date was from 2008 sometime
[06:02] <electrofreak> AAA, no... 2009-8-30
[06:03] <n1lqj> if there is a root kit, then the machine is just compermised
[06:03] <yokishi> does FDE in ubuntu on the alt install cd erase all previous data?
[06:04] <n1lqj> AAA, is home on it's own partition?
[06:04] <n1lqj> I mean electrofreak
[06:04] <yokishi> someone please help
[06:04] <electrofreak> n1lqj, AAA. no, home is on the same partition.... I can recover the files I need before I do stuff like that....
[06:05] <crazygir> hiya, attempting to follow these directions in getting support for a newer model wacom tablet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466770
[06:05] <crazygir> results in: http://dpaste.org/LiS5/
[06:05] <electrofreak> n1lqj: I'm not worried about that.... just the amount of time it will take to get everything back up and running :-(
[06:05] <xorwhy> How do I complete disable mouse loading cursors?
[06:05] <n1lqj> if the machine is compromised, you are no longer the owner, back up home and wipe  it
[06:06] <AAA> electrofreak  ls -lau in /root/" is the date newer?
[06:06] <CrOnOs__> hi any one here have experience whit ntfsundelete??
[06:06] <yokishi> is there a way to use Gutmann or DoD to write over your entire HDD besides DBAN?
[06:06] <xorwhy> DBAN, is that boot and nuke?
[06:06] <AAA> electrofreak  did you run chkrootkit?
[06:06] <n1lqj> -lau or -lad?
[06:06] <dugger5688> Wait someone on here actually got a rootkit?!
[06:06] <electrofreak> n1lqj: woah.... permission denied
[06:06] <AAA> n1lqj  u shows atime
[06:06] <n1lqj> sudo
[06:07] <electrofreak> n1lqj: oh... newer than what?
[06:07] <Pen> <IP_ADDRESS> Whoever told me to do this, I appreciate it very much, it works now.
[06:07] <edbian> pen
[06:07] <punto> hi.. I want to switch from kubuntu to ubuntu, if I remove kubuntu-desktop and install ubuntu-desktop with apt-get, will that work?
[06:07] <edbian> Pen, no problem!!
[06:07] <n1lqj> probaly ls -lau /
[06:08] <n1lqj> I'm guessing
[06:08] <edbian> punto, yep
[06:08] <yokishi> is there a way to use Gutmann or DoD to write over your entire HDD besides DBAN?
[06:08] <xangua> punto: no, kubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage
[06:08] <crazygir> no tablet users?
[06:08] <crazygir> yokishi: dd?
[06:08] <xangua> mmm there was a quote to uninstall kde files
[06:08] <AAA> electrofreak  look at the difference of ls -la /root/" and ls -lau /root/"  the u shows atime
[06:08] <yokishi> crazygir, what's that?
[06:08] <edbian> xangua, it is a meta pack so it gets ride of all the kde stuff
[06:08] <crazygir> a command line utility?
[06:09] <electrofreak> -u has some things that are touched later....
[06:09] <yokishi> Crazygir is it a major procedure to learn it
[06:09] <punto> it looks like if I remove kubuntu-desktop, that's the only package that gets removed.. but none of its dependencies
[06:09] <AAA> electrofreak  aha
[06:10] <electrofreak> AAA later than creation....
[06:10] <electrofreak> er...
[06:10] <edbian> punto, oh.... idk then!! tell me if you figure it out
[06:10] <n1lqj> electrofreak /root appears to be all hidden files aka ls .* works, fyi
[06:10] <crazygir> yokishi: from the questions you are asking, I'd say you might have a difficult time. Humans are powerful though, if you think about it, I'm sure you'd be able to figure it out :)
[06:10] <crazygir> man dd
[06:10] <PlutoISaPlanet> could anyone give me a hand with this guide? http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html
[06:10] <electrofreak> n1lqj: yes, I know.
[06:10] <yokishi> crazygir, thank you, but that made no sense at all.
[06:11] <dugger5688> punto: you might have to do a sudo apt-get autoremove afterwards. But I recommend doing 'remove kubuntu-desktop' then 'install ubuntu-desktop' then 'autoremove'
[06:11] <AAA> electrofreak  is chkrootkit done running yet?
[06:11] <electrofreak> AAA, oh, let me try that I guess
[06:11] <greezmunkey> PlutoISaPlanet: What link was that? http://howto.make-a-frisbee.out-of-mobo.com
[06:12] <n1lqj> no aptitude he's got to install it an alternate way
[06:12] <AAA> electrofreak  still nothing that says you are rooted.  just things that ain't right
[06:12] <punto> edbian: this looks like it http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[06:13] <n1lqj> AAA, so he boot of the rescue CD?  I'm a bit confused
[06:13] <crazygir> yokishi: exactly my point :)
[06:13] <PlutoISaPlanet> or any other method that would allow me to flash my BIOS with an exe file would be fine
[06:13] <wildbat> question~ can anyone know how to fix the lid button? it is not working correctly, when pressed the screen off for 0.5sec and back on, as well as when released. any clue?
[06:13] <edbian> punto, thats crazy try using aptitude
[06:13] <Shapeshiftr> YAR
[06:13] <Shapeshiftr> I can't connect to my IP
[06:13] <punto> no way, apt-get rocks :p
[06:14] <AAA> n1lqj  is true
[06:14] <edbian> !aptitude
[06:14] <doldrums> can I make windows in gnome un/shade Instead of max/unmaximize when I double click on the title bar?
[06:14] <Sangeeth> How could i contribute to open source community... Any one help me please..
[06:14] <n1lqj> Okay, so where I am confused is the utilities he needs should be on ram disk from cd
[06:15] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, you can have get the dos boot floppy and chainload the fopply image.
[06:15] <AAA> doldrums  system > prefs > windows > roll
[06:15] <\shade\> Sangeeth: There are a number of ways: contributing code, reporting bugs, helping users in IRC/forums/mailinglists
[06:15] <PlutoISaPlanet> wildbat: not sure what you mean by chainload
[06:15] <electrofreak> AAA chkrootkit didn't return anything unusual looking
[06:15] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html
[06:15] <Stupendoussteve> Sangeeth: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved
[06:15] <Sangeeth> \Shade\: I wanna contribute code, in particular...
[06:16] <PlutoISaPlanet> wildbat: that's the same link i posted... it's over my head
[06:16] <electrofreak> AAA I really feel like it's just a filesystem is effed up type of thing....
[06:16] <AAA> electrofreak  not suprised.  you said you couldn't run many commands before the rescue cd. can you run them now?
[06:16] <electrofreak> any ideas how I can remove the " dir?
[06:16] <\shade\> Sangeeth: I don't know the official ubuntu process, however some places have you submit patches via the tracket
[06:16] <AAA> electrofreak  rmdir \" should work
[06:16] <Stupendoussteve> electrofreak: Try removing \"
[06:16] <n1lqj> or '"'
[06:17] <michael_> damn guys thanks foxmulder881 and edbian could you believe  i followed a tutorial to fix youtube controlls using a 64bit flash plugin for firefox once i deleted it everything is back to normal
[06:17] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, basically the method is to boot DOS ~
[06:17] <electrofreak> AAA, I can run thatm from the HDD when it's mounted.... but if I chroot, the things wont execut
[06:17] <edbian> michael_, awesome!! :)
[06:17] <foxmulder881> michael_: great.
[06:17] <T-rock007> does anyone like fedora
[06:17] <Sangeeth> /shade/ could you help me with some please...
[06:17] <edbian> T-rock007, yes
[06:18] <n1lqj> just a simple question.  Same arcitecture on rescue cd as machine HDD?  ake 32 ore 64 bit?
[06:18] <electrofreak> WAIT
[06:18] <AAA> electrofreak  and execute bits _are_ set, correct?
[06:18] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, most manufacture give you a option to download a  upgrade floppy
[06:18] <electrofreak> there is something in "
[06:18] <dugger5688> T-rock007: I used to use it, but eventually ubuntu kind of caught up on the stability front.
[06:18] <\shade\> Sangeeth: You'd have to ask another member, I'm not that informed on ubuntu's processes
[06:18] <Stupendoussteve> Sangeeth: Learn how to create and modify Debian packages, look for bugs, fix the bugs and submit patches. This is all done on launchpad
[06:18] <electrofreak> it seems the " is the other way than what the keyboard puts out...
[06:18] <Walrus23> :/ what would give me an IO error when i install ubuntu 10.04? it worked last night, what could have changed in 8 hours?
[06:18] <T-rock007> really, i used it for a year and i had nothing but issues
[06:18] <Stupendoussteve> Sangeeth: See: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/developers
[06:18] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, that is what you need to get.
[06:18] <dugger5688> T-rock007: /join #fedora
[06:18] <T-rock007> thats why i had to go back to good old ubuntu
[06:19] <T-rock007> ok
[06:19]  * SReject high-five's T-rock007
[06:19] <dugger5688> or not, it might not exist.
[06:19] <dugger5688> lol.
[06:19] <AAA> electrofreak  I don't fully grok that. what is in that dir? find /root/"
[06:19] <SReject> dugger5688, finally got a vidcard that both ubuntu and windows likes
[06:19] <ejwaxx> T-rock007: Fedora was the first linux distro I used...which is why I abandoned linux in college, and nearly did again a couple years later.  Until I found the Ubuntu :)
[06:19] <Sangeeth> Thanks!.. Stupendoussteve
[06:19] <dugger5688> SReject: Nice! Which one?
[06:20] <SReject> An old geforce 4 :X
[06:20] <T-rock007> yeah its not what its cracked up to be
[06:20] <electrofreak> AAA, it looks like just a copy/paste eff up from some command a long time ago....
[06:20] <Stupendoussteve> I used to work on fixing bugs in packages, or getting packages updated for new releases through syncs and merges. Took a bit more time than I have available though
[06:20] <dugger5688> haha, that's what I used before my CPU burned outl
[06:20] <T-rock007> the way you have to install video drivers is a pain in the butt
[06:20] <xue> ／join #china-cn
[06:20] <SReject> dugger5688 sweet
[06:20] <SReject> xue or not
[06:20] <michael_> hey guys i have another issue i used the package manager to install a lamp server but i dont think apache is configured with php correctly local host works but when i created the info.php file and try to access it through local host it brings up info.php as a download
[06:21] <xue> hi,SReject
[06:21] <bullgard> What is a "rate-type attribute"? man smartctl: "Each Attribute also has a "Worst" value shown under the heading "WORST".  This is the smallest (closest to failure) value that the disk has recorded at any time during its lifetime when SMART was enabled.  [Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes.]"
[06:21] <AAA> electrofreak  cool, I wouldn't worry too much then.  give me an example of a command that isn't exec now
[06:21] <Sangeeth> Stupendoussteve : But i would look forward to build from basic level... Is it possible over here?..
[06:21] <n1lqj> whats the command?  curious
[06:21] <electrofreak> /bin/bash
[06:21] <Sangeeth> Stupendoussteve, I am good at c++...
[06:21] <n1lqj> kill it
[06:21] <Stupendoussteve> Sangeeth: Best way is to make a piece of software worth having, get it put into Debian and Ubuntu
[06:22] <electrofreak> AAA and /sbin/init wont be found... it's like the filesystem is jsut confused or something...
[06:22] <SReject> how do i restart x without restarting my computer?
[06:22] <yokishi> is this a safe command, ejwaxx just gave me: "dd if=/dev/zero of=(identifier of disk) bs=1M"
[06:22] <electrofreak> SReject: restart gdm
[06:22] <n1lqj> SReject alt-ctrl-backspace
[06:22] <Stupendoussteve> Sangeeth: You have to start with the basics first though, fixing bugs and patching gets  you recognized, you could eventually help work on custom applications put into Ubuntu
[06:22] <electrofreak> SReject: or that
[06:22] <xue> logout ,then login
[06:22] <wildbat> yokishi, that wil WIPE your disk ~ if it is what you want
[06:23] <xue> SReject: logout ,then log in
[06:23] <yokishi> yes it is
[06:23] <AAA> electrofreak  have you made recent changes to your disk or fs? added new disks? usb key maybe?
[06:23] <electrofreak> AAA no
[06:23] <Flannel> yokishi: That'll write zeros across your disk.  You'd be more interested in 'shred'.  Boot to a liveCD, and sudo shred /dev/whatever to overwrite it a few times with random data
[06:23] <T-rock007> how do you go to boot menu when you turn on your computer
[06:23] <Stupendoussteve> Sangeeth: Gotta remember though, the majority of the distribution is written by independent developers not affiliated with Ubuntu (same goes for most distros)
[06:23] <ejwaxx> yokishi: as i said, it is only a safe command if you are *absolutely* sure you have the right disk!
[06:24] <n1lqj> so machine does boot just missing most commands?
[06:24] <Stupendoussteve> Sangeeth: If you really want involvement I would get involved with a smaller project that gets put into distributions, such as gnome/kde and associated apps
[06:24] <Sangeeth> Thanks again, Stupendoussteve
[06:24] <AAA> electrofreak  does fdisk -l show anything funky on your drive
[06:24] <greezmunkey> electrofreak: have you ever run ecryptfs on your system?
[06:24] <Sangeeth> Stupendoussteve, Where could get into such projects...
[06:25] <vjsamuel> Sangeeth: dude, good to see you at irc.
[06:25] <ejwaxx> Flannel: as an aside, is there any reason, performance or security wise, that shred is preferable to a zero-wipe?
[06:26] <Sangeeth> vjsamuel : Thanks a lot, for giving me such intel...
[06:26] <electrofreak> AAA, no... it's exactly what I would expect..
[06:26] <Stupendoussteve> Sangeeth: See http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome or http://www.kde.org/community/getinvolved/development/ if you're interested in those
[06:26] <AAA> electrofreak  greezmunkey had a great question
[06:26] <electrofreak> AAA, I ran an e2fsck... nothing came back as being a problem...
[06:26] <Flannel> ejwaxx: shred provides status updates, which I like, it also is more versatile in my mind.  And it'll do multiple passes automatically
[06:26] <electrofreak> greezmunkey: sorry, no.... no encryption
[06:26] <PlutoISaPlanet> mbat: this looks promising: http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml ... but I'm not sure which of these to download: http://linux.dell.com/biosdisk/
[06:26] <Stupendoussteve> There's tons of ways to get involved, usually just have to find a project you're interested in. You usually begin by submitting patches. If you find a bug you can even submit patches to the Linux kernel
[06:26] <Sangeeth> Vj : would surely pay you back with some knowledge about whatever i know on one day... :)
[06:26] <greezmunkey> electrofreak: not even to "play" with it?
[06:27] <PlutoISaPlanet> wildbat: please see above, mispelled your name
[06:27] <electrofreak> greezmunkey: no, sorry. never used it, heh
[06:27] <vjsamuel> Sangeeth: awesome!
[06:28] <Flannel> Sangeeth: http://www.ubuntu.com/community
[06:28] <AAA> electrofreak  no audits, or kerberos or other weird pam stuff?
[06:28] <Traveler1> what is a ARM(armel) port?
[06:28] <electrofreak> AAA no :-/
[06:28] <Flannel> Sangeeth: That page provides a bunch of links if you're looking to start participating.   I'm getting a feel of what would the open source community feel like... Thanks to all...
[06:28] <vjsamuel> Flannel, Stupendoussteve: thanks for helping out my friend. he was dying to get into open source. :)
[06:29] <Sangeeth> Flannel : Thank you!...
[06:29] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, biosdisk-git-06112010.tar.gz
[06:29] <electrofreak> n1lqj: yes... normal x86-64.so.2 crap and such...
[06:30] <n1lqj> well that answers encryption question
[06:30] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, extract and read README ~ they have steps for you
[06:30] <AAA> electrofreak  scrape your /var/log/{kern.log|syslog} for funkness with READ-SEEK COMPLETE or drives not spinning up or that type
[06:30] <electrofreak> n1lqj: exactly identical to the livecd's version, actually
[06:30] <CaptainTrek> i'm trying to watch a .wmv file on here, but it requires the Windows Media Player 9 codec.  Is there anywhere I can get a codec that can decode such files?
[06:30] <electrofreak> AAA, I actually already did that.... I don't think it's a hardware problem
[06:30] <Traveler1> what is a armel(ARM) port?
[06:30] <xangua> have you already installed restricted-extras CaptainTrek¿
[06:31] <tsimpson> Traveler1: ARM is a type of processor, like Intel/AMD
[06:31] <Zeike> CaptainTrek: VLC will be able to play most file types you can throw at it
[06:31] <ejwaxx> CaptainTrek: install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package and it should give you a codec
[06:31] <tsimpson> Traveler1: usually used on embedded devices, like mobile phones or internet tablets
[06:31] <n1lqj> it also answers the question does the directory entry point to a read file
[06:31] <AAA> electrofreak  if you were to reboot right now would you be able to get a shell on the machine? if not, how does it fail?
[06:31] <electrofreak> AAA, no.... it fails saying /sbin/init: no such file or dir
[06:32] <n1lqj> sorry real file
[06:32] <electrofreak> AAA, and yes... that file is there and readable when it's just mounted at /target on the livecd...
[06:32] <AAA> electrofreak  and then just dies with no log/debug
[06:32] <n1lqj> electrofreak, cp /sbin/init from CD filesystem to yours?
[06:32] <electrofreak> AAA, well... kernel panics.... because it has nothing to do
[06:32] <AAA> electrofreak  have you tried single mode?
[06:32] <CaptainTrek> Zeike: tried that it didnt work.  Xangua / ejwaxx: installing restricted extras now
[06:32] <n1lqj> steal the file and just replace it
[06:33] <n1lqj> aka cp /sbin/init /mnt/root/sbin/init
[06:33] <Zeike> CaptainTrek: vlc didn't work?  Did it give you any errors?
[06:33] <Traveler1> what is a f-spot?
[06:33] <PlutoISaPlanet> wildbat: reading through it.  Getting permissions errors trying to copy files to /usr/sbat... can't change permissions because I'm not the owner??
[06:33] <CaptainTrek> Zeike: couldnt find codec for what it needed, it doesnt matter testing it all with restricted extras installed
[06:33] <Sangeeth> CaptainTrek : While you try to open with your default player in OS, it will automatically tell you about missing plugin... Jus' install them....
[06:34] <AAA> electrofreak  linux init=/bin/sh
[06:34] <electrofreak> AAA, isn't sbin/init needed for singlemode, too?
[06:34] <CaptainTrek> Sangeeth:  it couldnt find a plugin thats the other issue
[06:34] <prince_jammys> !info f-spot | Traveler1
[06:34] <AAA> electrofreak  yes, but there may be something else going on. just trying to weed things out
[06:34] <CaptainTrek> Xangua / ejwaxx: no dice, it still needs a decoder for the audio part
[06:34] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, sudo ?
[06:34] <n1lqj> electrofreak what about cp of sbin/init?
[06:34] <Sangeeth> CaptainTrek : Sorry, i'm a rookie... I hope the pros would help you...
[06:35] <AAA> n1lqj  the file is there
[06:35] <n1lqj> maybe it is corrupt or the directory entry is
[06:35] <PlutoISaPlanet> wildbat: i'm really new to this.  I'm not sure what you mean
[06:35] <n1lqj> try cmp
[06:35] <n1lqj> make sure it's good then
[06:35] <Sangeeth> Difference between Gnome and KDE?..
[06:35] <electrofreak> n1lqj: works.... I copied it to /tmp on the livecd
[06:35] <nomad77> electrofreak: in a virtual-coonsole or gnome-terminal? if terminal kill it run a new gnome-terminal. i use diff shells and have seen xterms do that
[06:35] <flames> flames@ghost:~/pidgin-2.7.1$ sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[06:35] <flames> help
[06:35] <n1lqj> just trying simple things
[06:36] <Traveler1> what is a f-spot?
[06:36] <electrofreak> nomad77 what?
[06:36] <CaptainTrek> !fspot | Traveler1
[06:36] <CaptainTrek> darn
[06:36] <Traveler1> what?
[06:36] <prince_jammys> Sangeeth: best to see a comparison on the web, or to install both and try.
[06:36] <wildbat> !sudo
[06:36] <AAA> electrofreak  if it is 10.4 the md5sum should match this 3dc249a0bbfa4498b0e0787aef62b46d  /sbin/init

[06:36] <infid> is there anything like http://stereopsis.com/flux/ for ubuntu?
[06:36] <flames> how to update pidgin in ubuntu
[06:36] <megaflow> I'm looking for an application in Ubuntu that will let me do those things you see on walkthroughs of software, where the guy is talking, zooms in and out on the thing he is demonstrating and rings appear around the cursor when they are clicking on things.
[06:36] <megaflow> on Youtube
[06:36] <Traveler1> thank you
[06:37] <n1lqj> aaa doesn't that depend on 32 or 64 bit?
[06:37] <vjsamuel> flames: try the update manager
[06:37] <Zeike> infid: there indeed is.  its called redshift, let me find it
[06:37] <flames> current use version 2.6.6
[06:37] <electrofreak> AAA, doesn't seem to match md5
[06:37] <electrofreak> hmmmm
[06:37] <prince_jammys> !info recordmydesktop | megaflow
[06:37] <Shapeshiftr> how do I check if my apache server's running?
[06:37] <electrofreak> should I try copying it from the livecd??
[06:37] <flames> pidgin have version 2.7.1
[06:37] <n1lqj> I would or run cmp between them
[06:37] <flames> complie from source
[06:37] <megaflow> Thanks prince_jammys
[06:37] <prince_jammys> megaflow: there are probably alternatives, but that is one app.
[06:38] <PlutoISaPlanet> I've used sudo in the terminal a bit, I know a bit about what it does but I'm not sure what you mean by just telling me 'sudo'... to fix my permissions?
[06:38] <AAA> electrofreak  32 bit?
[06:38] <infid> thanks Zeike it seems to be in the software sources
[06:38] <electrofreak> AAA 64
[06:38] <xangua> you can find the instructiones in http://www.pidgin.im/ flames
[06:38] <AAA> electrofreak  n1lqj called it
[06:38] <greezmunkey> electrofreak: still trying to solve the wierd character issue? If so I would guess that the "special" character was created with a differant keyboard encoding scheme, other than UTF-8, what I don't know, and you can't wild card it since it's only one character...
[06:38] <n1lqj> I got 64 bit how do I check md5
[06:38] <bullgard> What is a "rate-type attribute"? man smartctl: "Each Attribute also has a "Worst" value shown under the heading "WORST".  This is the smallest (closest to failure) value that the disk has recorded at any time during its lifetime when SMART was enabled.  [Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes.]"
[06:38] <Zeike> infid: https://launchpad.net/~jonls/+archive/redshift-ppa
[06:38] <flames> ok
[06:38] <AAA> n1lqj  md5sum /sbin/init
[06:38] <electrofreak> AAA, actually... md5sum matches the livecd (64-bit)
[06:39] <n1lqj> c8a746652ca4fb3dc5c6f838101a6704  /sbin/init
[06:39] <electrofreak> n1lqj: they compare perfectly
[06:39] <n1lqj> 64 bit
[06:39] <electrofreak> n1lqj: yep, have that.
[06:39] <electrofreak> so that file isn't corrupt....
[06:39] <AAA> electrofreak  what filesystem?
[06:39] <electrofreak> ext3
[06:39] <electrofreak> it must be messed up somehow...
[06:39] <n1lqj> okay, lets stop for a second.  what calls sbin/init?  how is it called?  is that broken?
[06:39] <AAA> electrofreak  or the journal is
[06:39] <Zeike> electrofreak: have you done fsck?
[06:40] <RudyValencia> n1lqj: The kernel calls init
[06:40] <flames> ./configure && make OK
[06:40] <flames> sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[06:40] <flames> what problem
[06:40] <electrofreak> AAA, any ideas how to fix it?
[06:40] <n1lqj> electrofreak, can you boot the previous kernel?
[06:40] <electrofreak> n1lqj: no
[06:40] <xpike> is there another browser that supports flash better than firefox?
[06:41] <Zeike> flames: not all source packages come configured to do 'make install'
[06:41] <xpike> im sick of firefox crashing due to too many flash embeds
[06:41] <n1lqj> okay, sbin checks means directory entry is good and its called by the kernel directly, oye vey
[06:41] <AAA> electrofreak  man, this is a tough one. it can be fixed.  almost thinking bios something
[06:41] <electrofreak> Zeike: yes... but are there more advanced options I could run that would check more in depth?
[06:41] <flames> make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'.
[06:41] <Zeike> flames: not all source packages come configured to do 'make install'
[06:41] <Shapeshiftr> I'm sick of bad tech support =/
[06:42] <PlutoISaPlanet> could anyone walk me through giving myself permission to copy files into /boot/
[06:42] <n1lqj> so are we down to the kernel?
[06:42] <n1lqj> or less?
[06:42] <Zeike> xpike: you might try chromium, but they use the same plugin so it might not help at all
[06:42] <n1lqj> PlutoSaPlanet sudo -s
[06:42] <Zeike> electrofreak: yes try that.  also try booting older versions of the kernel if you still have them installed as other suggested
[06:42] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: huh?
[06:42] <Pirate_Hunter> what is the application that allows the mount of devices i.e. usb pens/hard disks without the need of being root?
[06:43] <electrofreak> Zeike: sorry... try what? are there more options for fsck?
[06:43] <PlutoISaPlanet> n1lqj: thanks.  Will i need to copy it through the terminal or can i do it through the gui?
[06:43] <n1lqj> terminal
[06:43] <Zeike> electrofreak: all the fsck options are in 'man fsck'.  I'm not incredibly familiar with them myself though
[06:43] <n1lqj> elevates you to root
[06:43] <Shapeshiftr> ah! greezmunkey!
[06:44] <Shapeshiftr> it doesn't work.
[06:44] <Shapeshiftr> Nothing works anymore
[06:44] <Shapeshiftr> It used to somewhat
[06:44] <AAA> electrofreak  you could try fsck.ext3 -D -v /dev/foo to reindex and optimize
[06:44] <Shapeshiftr> and now, no.
[06:44] <Pirate_Hunter> PlutoISaPlanet, gksudo nautilus if you need root access through nautilus, however, what are you trying to do with you dont mind me asking
[06:44] <electrofreak> AAA, could I try e2undo?
[06:44] <AAA> electrofreak  unfamiliar
[06:45] <n1lqj> electrofreak is /etc/fstab look correct?
[06:45] <electrofreak> n1lqj: yes
[06:45] <PlutoISaPlanet> Pirate_Hunter: trying ot create a boot disk to flash my BIOS http://linux.dell.com/biosdisk/
[06:45] <Pirate_Hunter> Shapeshiftr, I don't know what is your problem or if I can help you but could you explain it to me
[06:45] <PlutoISaPlanet> Pirate_Hunter: following the readme in there
[06:45] <n1lqj> I'm lost
[06:45] <moody> anyone ever have a problem with ubuntu lucid where all the sudden the wallpaper splits in half and doubles and bugs up?
[06:45] <xpike>  firefox
[06:45] <xpike> Could not find compatible GRE between version <IP_ADDRESS> and 1.9.0.*.
[06:45] <AAA> n1lqj  electrofreak but this is failing way before fstab is read. didn't you say you had a working system, and then apps started not to work?
[06:45] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: ok, roll up your sleves...what is going on.
[06:46] <n1lqj> you can read the FS, and the files a byte for byte correct but file is not found
[06:46] <electrofreak> AAA, correct
[06:46] <n1lqj> what are permissions on /sbin/init?
[06:46] <electrofreak> n1lqj: correct
[06:46] <AAA> electrofreak  does the bios see your drive? is bios set to pnp?
[06:46] <Shapeshiftr> Pirate_Hunter, basically, I'm trying to set up a web server on Ubuntu Server 10.04, and point my purchased domain name to it
[06:46] <Shapeshiftr> it being the IP of the server
[06:46] <n1lqj> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-04-01 17:13 /sbin/init
[06:46] <Shapeshiftr> http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7162/ffox.png
[06:47] <electrofreak> n1lqj: that is what I have
[06:47] <Valkyrie> Alright. I came to you guys, even if I don't use Ubuntu.
[06:47] <Shapeshiftr> I can't connect tothe IP
[06:47] <Pirate_Hunter> PlutoISaPlanet, fair enough, good luck you should be fine just using sudo to cp/mv files from one place to another (CLI) otherwise gksudo nautilus should work, however, beware if you bork anything up as root you may damage your system
[06:47] <AAA> electrofreak  maybe grub is just tore up. rerun grub on it
[06:47] <bricky> sun-java6-jre -- anybody know where to get one of these?
[06:47] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: first, you are on server, right?
[06:47] <Valkyrie> I'm on Gnome. Tryign it out for once. I've never actually used it. I downloaded a theme from gnome-look. And, I attempted to install it (Dragging it into the themes thing) But, it refused to install, because, apparently I need to be root
[06:47] <booi> bricky: the ubuntu partner repo
[06:47] <xpike> this is the most unstable distro ive ever used, everything is broken
[06:47] <Shapeshiftr> yeah, Server 10.04
[06:48] <Shapeshiftr> no GUI
[06:48] <booi> xpike: no YOU SUCK
[06:48] <Pirate_Hunter> Shapeshiftr, are you trying to point the domain to a site within your server or to the actual server?
[06:48] <bricky> booi: its a repo? ok thanks
[06:48] <AAA> electrofreak  has to be your mbr/grub
[06:48] <Valkyrie> So, I did the next best thing.  Any ideas?
[06:48] <Shapeshiftr> all I have on my system is LAMP, PERL, Webmin, and OpenSSL
[06:48] <booi> sorry reminded me of futurama
[06:48] <xpike> if i gotta do all this work JUST for simple things might as well go gentoo
[06:48] <n1lqj> electrofreak: AAA: mv /sbin/init /sbin/initbackup and copy cd sbin to hdd?
[06:48] <Shapeshiftr> Pirate_Hunter, actual server
[06:48] <electrofreak> AAA, I don't think so.... wouldn't explain why I was having problems while the system was running
[06:48] <n1lqj> maybe directory entry is hosed
[06:48] <megaflow> recordMyDesktop doesn't quite do that job.  I captures the desktop fine, but it doesn't create rings where I click.  Alas, I don't have a microphone either.  sigh
[06:49] <Zeike> Valkyrie: you don't need to be root to do that.  Sometimes when you download theme packages they actually put the theme archive inside another archive for some reason.
[06:49] <AAA> electrofreak  maybe whatever was hosing your running system hosed grub
[06:49] <Shapeshiftr> When I first installed LAMP, I could connect to my IP fine, and I got the Apache message --
[06:49] <flames> http://www.pidgin.im/nopaste/119
[06:49] <Shapeshiftr> It works!
[06:49] <Shapeshiftr> This is the default web page for this server.
[06:49] <Shapeshiftr> The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
[06:49] <flames> help
[06:49] <electrofreak> n1lqj: is there a way to fix directory entries? I feel like the FS is definitely the problem.
[06:49] <Zeike> Valkyrie: also, if you do try to install it manually you need to extract the .tar.gz to the themes directory
[06:49] <Valkyrie> Zeike There's alot of different directories inside that directory
[06:49] <n1lqj> mv the /sbin folder to a new name and cp the one from the cd
[06:49] <n1lqj> that will create a new directory entry
[06:49] <Valkyrie> As, there's the Gnome-Panal directory, the GTK theme. The metacity theme.
[06:50] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: what interface is pointed at the internet eth0, eth1 ??
[06:50] <Shapeshiftr> eth0
[06:50] <Zeike> flames: do you have intltool installed?
[06:50] <Shapeshiftr> i know that  much
[06:50] <electrofreak> AAA, I'm running -D now.... maybe that'll help
[06:50] <flames> nope
[06:50] <Zeike> flames: `sudo apt-get install intltool`
[06:50] <AAA> electrofreak  worth a shot
[06:50] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: ok, look in /etc/network/interfaces, is there an entry for eth0 ?
[06:50] <flames> ok
[06:50] <xangua> flames: just ushe the pidgin PPA
[06:50] <xangua> use*
[06:50] <Zeike> flames: it says right there on the last line..
[06:51] <n1lqj> electrofreak: I'm guesing that the sbin directory entry has an issue and the kernel can't use it right
[06:51] <electrofreak> n1lqj: possible...
[06:51] <Zeike> Valkyrie: can you link to the theme you downloaded?
[06:52] <n1lqj> I still suggest use mv to rename /sbin and copy /sbin from cd.  If corrupt this will create a new non crupt folder /sbin
[06:52] <AAA> electrofreak  ls -ld /sbin
[06:52] <Sangeeth> vjsamuel : Are you there?..
[06:52] <Pirate_Hunter> Shapeshiftr, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/127525-how-setup-domain-name-my-ubuntu-webserver.html this was an easy find on google using the search criterain ubuntu webserver domain it is hard to explain this kind of things as everyone has different needs for a webserver and how they go about approaching it. Hope it gets you in the right direction
[06:52] <vjsamuel> Sangeeth: yes

[06:52] <kickingintender> where are the downloaded repository stored on local hdd
[06:52] <greezmunkey> Pirate_Hunter: he is just getting his server up for the first time.
[06:53] <electrofreak> n1lqj: just a sec.... running that -D
[06:53] <n1lqj> okay, what is the 1 and 2 after the permissions?
[06:53] <Traveler1> difference between ext3 and ext4
[06:53] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: ok, ifconfig will show you your address, what is it?
[06:53] <jamesfranke> Q: Best method for entire HD copy (system with encryptem LVM Ubuntu 10.04)? I Know clonezilla support LVM2. Am I on LVM2 or LVM1? DD is Better?
[06:53] <Sangeeth> vjsamuel : Dude! How to add someone to my contact list...
[06:53] <Izyum> Hello everybody. I have installed "lamp-server", there is "It works" on http://localhost/. How can I control localhost and get IP-address for access from net?
[06:53] <Shapeshiftr> I don't have a Static IP, by the way
[06:53] <Shapeshiftr> if that matters.
[06:53] <Shapeshiftr> <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:53] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: no, not now
[06:54] <AAA> n1lqj  dir count
[06:54] <Pirate_Hunter> greezmunkey, Oh :s I wasn't aware...
[06:54] <Shapeshiftr> s'cool.
[06:54] <n1lqj> K.  for some reason I don't remember seeing it before
[06:54] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: ok, netstat -antp | grep "LISTEN" - look for <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[06:54] <flames> http://www.pidgin.im/nopaste/120
[06:54] <Traveler1> difference between ext3 and ext4
[06:55] <n1lqj> guess I'm just not paying attention, its also in openbsd lol ><
[06:55] <electrofreak> Traveler1: just use ext4
[06:55] <AAA> greezmunkey  Shapeshiftr the -l option shows only listen, fyi
[06:55] <Valkyrie> Okay. Question.
[06:55] <flames> same

[06:55] <Valkyrie> Is my ~/.themes/ directory SUPPOSED to be owned by root?
[06:55] <Valkyrie> I don't think so.
[06:55] <n1lqj> difference, Linus recommends ext4
[06:55] <Traveler1> what is a serial connector?
[06:55] <Zeike> flames: you need to read the errors given to you by the configure script
[06:55] <Valkyrie> I can't even move shit as a regular user
[06:55] <Izyum> Where is localhost directory?
[06:55] <Sangeeth> Could someone help me on how to start a facebook chat with empathy IM client
[06:55] <Flannel> Izyum: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP is some good reading on it.  As far as external IP, that'd be your home IP, and youll need to port-forward on your router
[06:55] <xangua> flames: just USE the pidgin PPA
[06:56] <greezmunkey> AAA: but it also pollutes the screen with a bunch of junk
[06:56] <Shapeshiftr> 10000 (webmin) , 22, 3306, but no 80
[06:56] <AAA> greezmunkey  then your grep is 00 ;)

[06:56] <n1lqj> how is -D going?
[06:56] <Shapeshiftr> oh?
[06:56] <Valkyrie> Zeike Is my ~/.themes/ directory SUPPOSED to be owned by root?
[06:56] <Shapeshiftr> how do I start it?
[06:56] <Zeike> Valkyrie: no it isn't
[06:57] <xangua> Sangeeth: i believe the 'facebook' protoclo is listed in the options, is not¿¿
[06:57] <xorwhy> Valkyrie: ~
[06:57] <Zeike> Valkyrie: that is odd, I don't know how that could have happened
[06:57] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart
[06:57] <Zeike> Valkyrie: I would just chown it back
[06:57] <Valkyrie> Zeike Alright, i'll try such thigns
[06:57] <{g}> Hey People! Ubuntus update Manager prompts me to update smbclient and other samba related stuff. Since I dont use samba, wouldnt it make sense to apt-get purge it instead?
[06:57] <Shapeshiftr> Command not found
[06:57] <Shapeshiftr> ?
[06:57] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: after that run the netstat command I gave you - give it a few secs to start up though.
[06:58] <n1lqj> remove it don't purge it
[06:58] <Shapeshiftr> it says /etc/init.d/httpd isn't a command
[06:58] <Shapeshiftr> should I put restart before the file path?
[06:58] <Valkyrie> Alright.
[06:58] <Valkyrie> That worked
[06:58] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: ok, try sudo service apache2 restart
[06:58] <Flannel> {g}: If you don't use it, you could purge it if you'd like, yeah.
[06:58] <Shapeshiftr> ok.
[06:58] <prince_jammys> Shapeshiftr: probaby /etc/init.d/apache2
[06:58] <prince_jammys> *bly
[06:58] <Valkyrie> But, now it's sayign that the theme I chose will not look right, because the required GTK+ theme was not instaleld
[06:59] <Valkyrie> Mytheme it's called
[06:59] <Traveler1> what is a armel(ARM) port
[06:59] <Traveler1> nvm
[06:59] <greezmunkey> prince_jammys: hey
[06:59] <Traveler1> what is a serial connector
[06:59] <Valkyrie> o O Aint this gnome thing supposed to install it for me?
[06:59] <prince_jammys> greezmunkey: yo
[06:59] <Zeike> Valkyrie: you probably need a special engine.  Can you link to the theme?
[06:59] <Flannel> Traveler1: What do you mean?
[06:59] <{g}> Flannel: "apt-get purge samba-common" is the right way? will the update manager then notice that it doesnt need to be updated anymore?
[06:59] <n1lqj> AAA: It's either his directory entry or some HW problem I would think if other kernels also won't boot
[06:59] <greezmunkey> prince_jammys: yeah, I thought of that after I hit send :)
[06:59] <prince_jammys> Traveler1: please use the web for "What is <random-non-ubuntu-related-thing>"
[06:59] <Shapeshiftr> ok, apache is running, checking the IP now
[07:00] <Valkyrie> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BloodMint+theme+with+dark+reds+and+black?content=123664
[07:00] <Shapeshiftr> wow...
[07:00] <Valkyrie> @Zeike
[07:00] <Shapeshiftr> I must be a complete idiot :V
[07:00] <Flannel> {g}: If samba-common is the only package, yeah.  I imagine there's another non -common package as well.  And yes, it'll stop noticing they need updating.  You will want to close update-manager before doing that though.
[07:00] <Shapeshiftr> I can load the IP now fine =/
[07:00] <Zeike> Valkyrie: recieved
[07:00] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: there you go, time to dig into how to put content on the httpd server !
[07:00] <Shapeshiftr> apache just wasn't running the whole time....
[07:00] <Flannel> {g}: Alternatively, you could open up synaptic (or whatever your favorite package manager is) and do it via that as well
[07:00] <Shapeshiftr> I guess I assumed it was auto-start?
[07:00] <n1lqj> greezmunkey, /var/www
[07:00] <AAA> n1lqj  agreed
[07:01] <Shapeshiftr> the transition from windows to linux is hard =|
[07:01] <{g}> Flannel: what if samba-common is needed by other software?
[07:01] <Flannel> Shapeshiftr: It ought to autostart once you install it though
[07:01] <AAA> n1lqj  or a bad grub line
[07:01] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: part of being the system administrator is knowing how to determine what is running and what is not :)
[07:01] <Shapeshiftr> I would hope so :|
[07:01] <greezmunkey> n1lqj: yup
[07:01] <n1lqj> Shapeshiftr, once you learn linux, you have unix, and point blank, mac osx also
[07:01] <Pirate_Hunter> what is the application that allows the mount of devices i.e. usb pens/hard disks without the need of being root?
[07:01] <Flannel> {g}: When you try and remove that package, you'll be told which other packages are going to be removed.  Those are the ones that 'require' it
[07:01] <Zeike> Valkyrie: this theme installed correctly for me by dragging the .tar.bz2 into the appearance window.
[07:01] <Shapeshiftr> ok, so that's just the beginning of it all.
[07:02] <n1lqj> altough I run mediawiki, I don
[07:02] <{g}> Flannel: yeah, but they might have crazy names i dont know anything about
[07:02] <n1lqj> 't run bare anymore for a server
[07:02] <Shapeshiftr> Now, GoDaddy's tutorials all assume you use a site's web hosting services. I'm using MySql
[07:02] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: you are still polishing paint, not even close to being under the hood.
[07:02] <electrofreak> alright, well... I guess it's just time for me to go into recovery mode for all my crap. Thanks AAA and n1lqj and everyone else for your help.... this is definitely a tough issue... I'll try a few more things on my own, but then it's just copy and bale for me.
[07:02] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: but, everybody start there too!
[07:02] <Shapeshiftr> All the tutorials I've read, even the ones for 10.04, don't work?
[07:03] <Flannel> {g}: I believe it'll be other samba stuff, and ubuntu-desktop.  I'm not sure what else, but feel free to paste the "we're going to remove these other packages" stuff here and I'll take a look
[07:03] <n1lqj> electrofreak, try to cp directory from cd as last ditch option
[07:03] <salil_> Why does mount.ntfs keep running and accessing disks randomly?
[07:03] <Shapeshiftr> yeah, it's infinitely useful once you learn it though, I feel
[07:03] <Pirate_Hunter>  Shapeshiftr that is very hard to believe...
[07:03] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: yeah, after a while you'll be able to read between the lines when it comes to tuts
[07:03] <n1lqj> you;ve got nothing to loose!!!
[07:03] <{g}> Flannel: should i use this: "apt-get purge smbclient" or add something like --autoremove to it?
[07:03] <megaflow> recordMyDesktop doesn't quite do that job. I captures the desktop fine, but it doesn't create rings where I click.  Also, there's no zoom in zoom out.
[07:03] <AAA> electrofreak  double check your grub. or maybe, just maybe fsck fixed it an it will just work :)
[07:03] <salil_> I checked iotop and I see intermittent disk activity by mount.ntfs.. Sometimes it's a lot more than just intermittent..
[07:03] <Flannel> {g}: That'll work just fine as is.
[07:03] <electrofreak> n1lqj: yep... I'll get all my files... not worried about that... just sucks that it happened now.
[07:04] <Valkyrie> Hmm.
[07:04] <n1lqj> yeah, but I'm saying mv /sbin /sbinbackup and cp the cd sbin to hdd and reboot and pray!
[07:04] <Valkyrie> I like this color theme.
[07:04] <{g}> Flannel: i heard that apt needs "--autoremove" to work as expected and delete anything unused.
[07:04] <Valkyrie> Now to find out about borderless terminals.
[07:04] <Valkyrie> Other than that? This Gnome thing is beast.
[07:04] <Valkyrie> Arch+Gnome is pretty sick
[07:04] <Shapeshiftr> what's ISPConfig and do I need it?
[07:04] <Flannel> {g}: That doesn't have anything to do with what you're doing right now, actually.
[07:04] <n1lqj> you've done everything but replace the directory and directory entry
[07:05] <n1lqj> entry
[07:05] <AAA> n1lqj  that would defeat the purpose of doing fsck -D and not rebooting to try it first =p
[07:05] <n1lqj> okay reboot and if no go try that
[07:05] <Pirate_Hunter> Valkyrie, could you please keep theming in #ubuntu-offtopic sorry it doesn't seem like you're in need of actual help
[07:05] <n1lqj> other than that rebuild machine
[07:05] <gtoy> I have trouble with my Vaio I instaled 10.04  but I crash at startup..
[07:06] <gtoy> I can workaround if i reprace quiet splash by nomodeset in the grub.. but I can't change the resolution and my screen is not recognized..
[07:06] <Pirate_Hunter> Shapeshiftr, at this point you dont need it, but you can have a look on their website on what the soft. offers
[07:06] <n1lqj> AAA, this sucks.  This is first machine in #ubuntu I wasn't able to bring back to life :(
[07:06] <sobersabre> hi, how do I know which repository an installed package is coming from ?
[07:07] <prince_jammys> sobersabre: apt-cache madison PackageName
[07:07]  * gtoy thinks his engrish is good
[07:07] <n1lqj> AAA: 10:1 bad secotr on HDD
[07:07] <Shapeshiftr> is this required, because it never seems to work for me... --
[07:07] <bullgard> What is a "rate-type attribute"? man smartctl: "Each Attribute also has a "Worst" value shown under the heading "WORST".  This is the smallest (closest to failure) value that the disk has recorded at any time during its lifetime when SMART was enabled.  [Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes.]"
[07:07] <Shapeshiftr> echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
[07:07] <Shapeshiftr> /etc/init.d/hostname restart
[07:07] <n1lqj> makes no sense otherwise
[07:08] <electrofreak> n1lqj: don;t take it personally, hehe
[07:08] <salil_> Why does mount.ntfs keep running and accessing disks randomly?
[07:08] <sobersabre> prince_jammys: madison ?!
[07:08]  * gtoy wonders if someone noticed his question..
[07:08] <sobersabre> wtf :)
[07:08] <prince_jammys> sobersabre: someone's daughter, maybe. ''man apt-cache'' may say.
[07:08] <n1lqj> electrofreak, you could remove cpu memory and cards reseat everything too include cables before you give up also
[07:09] <AAA> n1lqj  it ain't your fault the user gives up, signs off.  bad sector sounds plausible, but why didn't he find it in the logs?  I think it is in the mbr or grub stuff, which would imply 'nefarious' activity before the system finally b0rkeded
[07:09] <Shapeshiftr> ah, found a decent tutorial
[07:09] <prince_jammys> sobersabre: but you won't forget it now :)
[07:09] <electrofreak> n1lqj: hehe
[07:09] <electrofreak> wait, bad sector, what?
[07:09] <sobersabre> prince_jammys: indeed. why madison ?
[07:09] <greezmunkey> electrofreak: you had 'em pullin' their hair out :)
[07:10] <AAA> electrofreak  well, that would explain everything. but I don't think you could have overlooked that in the logs
[07:10] <n1lqj> bad sector on HD :(  would explain alot
[07:10] <sobersabre> ooh ok. got it.
[07:10] <prince_jammys> sobersabre: i have no idea. the manual might reveal why.
[07:10] <electrofreak> AAA oh, boot sector?
[07:10] <Valkyrie> http://i48.tinypic.com/devf2a.jpg
[07:10]  * Valkyrie Thumbs up
[07:10] <shiftingcontrol> how to find your laptop has bluetooth ?
[07:10] <{g}> Flannel: apt-get purge smbclient
[07:10] <{g}> The following packages will be REMOVED: smbclient* ubuntu-desktop*
[07:10] <electrofreak> I'll try it.... right now just gettin mah filez
[07:10] <n1lqj> boot sector launches kernel, so it's not boot sector
[07:10] <{g}> Flannel: that doesnt sound too good.
[07:11] <Flannel> {g}: That's expected, and nothing to be alarmed about
[07:11] <AAA> electrofreak  n1lqj right. the sector your /sbin happens to live on
[07:11] <electrofreak> AAA and /bin?
[07:11] <{g}> Flannel: "ubuntu-desktop" sounds like the whole desktop :)
[07:11] <AAA> electrofreak  n1lqj but those usually SCREAM errors in dmesg/syslog
[07:11] <Flannel> {g}: It's justa metapackage
[07:11] <n1lqj> thats why I said rename /sbin and cp the cdrom sbin to hdd
[07:12] <n1lqj> you'll get a new sector
[07:12] <xorwhy> {g}: you can remove a LOT of stuff without removing the meta package
[07:12] <greezmunkey> n1lqj: you can do that? Really?
[07:12] <prince_jammys> Valkyrie: random screenshots are off-topic, especially when they're not even of this distro.
[07:12] <AAA> electrofreak  quite possible. I don't suppose your drive is physically hot, or extra noisey is it?
[07:12] <greezmunkey> n1lqj: checking / comparing now...
[07:12] <aretrfre34> ubuntu games server?
[07:12] <Pirate_Hunter> Shapeshiftr, that command works if your changing the hostname I think you should explore the functions/components of a webserver i.e. dns, hostname, domain etc before you dwell too much into setting up your system because if you put it online you'll need to understand security issues with that. This is a nice place everyone should start at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html
[07:12] <Traveler1> what is all the junk to install ubuntu like swap and ext4
[07:13] <Traveler1> cuz i need a dual boot
[07:13] <Shapeshiftr> http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-free/
[07:13] <electrofreak> AAA, no
[07:13] <Shapeshiftr> I'm using thing currently, it's fairly simple, but I'll look at the ubuntu one too
[07:13] <{g}> Flannel, xorwhy: sure that when i deinstall the metapackage and then run apt-get autoremove that it wont delete all the other stuff that was installed via the metapackage?
[07:13] <Flannel> {g}: Correct
[07:13] <prince_jammys> !dualboot | Traveler1
[07:14] <{g}> Flannel: correct what? that i can never again run autoremove again?
[07:14] <Shapeshiftr> *this
[07:14] <greezmunkey> n1lqj: heh, I guess so. I did not know that!
[07:14] <n1lqj> greezmunkey checking what?
[07:14] <AAA> electrofreak  n1lqj my opinion is it is grub and/or failing disk. electrofreak has ruled out failing disk
[07:14] <greezmunkey> n1lqj: simply replacing a corrupt /sbin from the install cd!
[07:14] <Flannel> {g}: That it won't remove everything
[07:15] <electrofreak> AAA, I don't think grub is the problem.... because I can't run /bin/bash from a chroot
[07:15] <{g}> Flannel: let me try.
[07:15] <AAA> electrofreak  that could be of the way your jail is set up too
[07:15] <n1lqj> greezmunkey, you need to move with mv command corrupt folder to a new name and then cp the replacement to get a new sector.  mv keeps the corrupt stuff on same sector so new stuff has to have a new sector
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  thats how metapackages work. they 'depend' on othe files.. and that all they do.. removing one of the files they depend on also removes the metapackage.. but not the other dependencies
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  its a bit of a hack in ways.. but it works decently well
[07:16] <greezmunkey> n1lqj: yeah, that makes sense, thanks!
[07:16] <{g}> Flannel: ok. purged smbclient and then did autoremove. autoremove did not do anything. uff :)
[07:16] <{g}> Dr_Willis: ok
[07:16] <shiftingcontrol> how to find your laptop has bluetooth ?
[07:17] <shiftingcontrol> system->prefernce->bluetoooth i don't bluetooth adapters
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  ubuntu auto-runs/shows a bluetooth icon on my machines that have bluetooth here shiftingcontrol
[07:17] <shiftingcontrol> ?
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  sounds like yours dosent have one then.
[07:17] <n1lqj> electrofreak:  You calling it?  Time of death 12546363?
[07:17] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: wouldn't lshw show that as well?
[07:17] <electrofreak> shiftingcontrol: try lspci, see if anything that looks like a bleutooth adapter shows up
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  proberly, or lsusb
[07:17] <hmw> Where can I find out, what a normal ls -l is displaying (i want to learn about each column printed). I tried man info and google.
[07:17] <AAA> electrofreak  n1lqj well you still have a few things left to try. a) reboot with -D fs b) mv /sbin && cp /cd/sbin c) rerun grub d) drink booze
[07:18] <shiftingcontrol> Dr_Willis :i had transferred pics using bluetooth in 9.10 and is lspci an cms ?
[07:18] <electrofreak> AAA, I like the d option
[07:18] <Dr_Willis>  lsusb | grep -e tooth
[07:18] <greezmunkey> AAA: I like 'em all. Maybe not in that order...
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp. A-Link BlueUsbA2 Bluetooth
[07:18] <bullgard> hmw: 'man ls'
[07:18] <hmw> bullgard not funny
[07:18] <n1lqj> Thats how I descrbed php to someone.  its a mixture of c, basic, rum and coke
[07:18] <Pirate_Hunter> I am not using ubuntu desktop got my own custom install at the moment mount can only be made by root (not sure which group allows mounting of devices) however, I would like to know how the desktop environment allows normal users to mount devices without root permission, is there an application that does it or is it just a script that adds users to the necessary group(s), if so which ae the group(s)?
[07:19] <electrofreak> n1lqj: haha
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  then you stated the question wrongly... you asked how to find 'if your laptop has bluetooth' is how i read it.
[07:19] <bullgard> hmw: Not funny but a correct answer.
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  see if its seen via the command -->   lsusb | grep -e tooth
[07:19] <hmw> bullgard:  -l     use a long listing format
[07:19] <n1lqj> Pirate_Hunter it's in hot plug in the kernel
[07:20] <AAA> n1lqj  haha
[07:20] <shiftingcontrol> Dr_Willi:it doesn't show anything
[07:20] <bullgard> What is a "rate-type attribute"? man smartctl: "Each Attribute also has a "Worst" value shown under the heading "WORST".  This is the smallest (closest to failure) value that the disk has recorded at any time during its lifetime when SMART was enabled.  [Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes.]"
[07:20] <n1lqj> hot plug stuff can mount w/o root or USB would really suck in unix
[07:21] <mouse> Why is it so common for grub to not load ubuntu right after a kernel update?
[07:21] <ezra-s> hello, Anyone experiencing freezes with ubuntu 10.04 while using this wireless card in their laptop? -> Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC
[07:21] <prince_jammys> hmw: if i recall right, the info page reveals more
[07:21] <{g}> purging libsmbclient wants to remove all kinds of crazy stuff like all movie players for example...
[07:21] <{g}> Strange. Purging smbclient did not remove libsmbclient and samba-common.
[07:21] <greezmunkey> man smartctl
[07:21] <greezmunkey> heh
[07:21] <shiftingcontrol> Dr_Willis:it doesn't show anything
[07:21] <PlutoISaPlanet> how do I give a file execution priviledges in the terminal?
[07:21] <n1lqj> ezra-s, no, but running 64 bit ubuntu
[07:21] <adam_g> anyone using flash 10.1 with alsa ? having an issue getting it to play through my default alsa device
[07:21] <prince_jammys> hmw: yes, ''info ls'' ("What information is listed") does give a better description under -l
[07:22] <ezra-s> It keeps freezing on me now, I dont know why
[07:22] <shiftingcontrol> PlutoIsaPlanet:using chmod
[07:22] <Pirate_Hunter> n1lqj, sorry but have never messed with that how do I go about exploring this, just wish to stop having to use root for mounting
[07:22] <qweqwe> I am trying to create a launcher , i need java to open some file what i should write in the path of command  to do so ?
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  is this a built in Bluetooth adaptor? If so you may want to boot an  older ubuntu live cd. that it did work in. and see what modules are gettting loaded for it. and other info on it.  and try loading the modules by hand on 10.04, and check the forums for the exact kind of adaptor
[07:22] <ezra-s> I had to disable wireless and connect through ethernet to avoi ubuntu freezing
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> !permissions | PlutoISaPlanet
[07:22] <n1lqj> can add device to /etc/fstab by uuid
[07:23] <n1lqj> you can mount to your home folder w/o root
[07:24] <hmw> prince_jammys: it explains some dozen of permission bits, but I cant see explanation for the the other columns... am i blind??
[07:24] <PlutoISaPlanet> thank you all
[07:24] <prince_jammys> hmw: you may not be. i admit i just checked on a non-ubuntu linux.
[07:24] <greezmunkey> bullgard: you have that figured yet?
[07:24] <shiftingcontrol> Dr_Willis:i think so it is in built adaptor because i din't install any package in 9.10 for it,got any idea about modules
[07:24] <PlutoISaPlanet> I'm trying to install an ATI driver (finally gave it permission to run) and it gives me this error:
[07:24] <PlutoISaPlanet> Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.32-22-generic; make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro
[07:24] <bullgard> greezmunkey: I beg your pardon?
[07:25] <greezmunkey> bullgard: the smartctl question.
[07:25] <Sinister> my media folder keeps poping open anyone know why or how to stop ?
[07:25] <mouse> What do I do if I update the linux headers files and grub won't load ubuntu anymore?
[07:25] <pres> Sinister: you mean without you opening it?
[07:26] <bullgard> greezmunkey: No, I do not know the answer yet.
[07:26] <hmw> prince_jammys: bullgard: thank you. I was blind - details of the columns after the permissions are explained before the permissions in the info page under -l (in the very first paragraph). Well hidden!
[07:26] <Sinister> yeah
[07:26] <n1lqj> mouse: boot previous kernel and run grub update
[07:26] <pres> Sinister: is it opening in Nautilus? Is the folder located in /home
[07:26] <Sinister> like if it keeps mounting my dvd drive or something
[07:26] <pres> ?
[07:26] <n1lqj> or grub install I don't know the commands w/o looking it all up
[07:27] <Sinister> no its the media folder
[07:27] <bullgard> hmw: Glad you made it. --  Enjoy Ubuntu!
[07:27] <pres> Sinister: wierd!
[07:27] <mouse> n1lqj, What if it won't even bring up the kernel list?
[07:27] <n1lqj> Sinister, log out and back in
[07:27] <pres> Sinister: you mean /media
[07:27] <pres> ?
[07:27] <n1lqj> escape at boot
[07:27] <greezmunkey> bullgard: From what I read, what you are describing is simply the data that smart stores on disk to indicate various status for use by monitoring programs.
[07:27] <Sinister> yeah
[07:28] <Sinister>  /media
[07:28] <pres> Sinister: that's too weird?!?
[07:28] <Sinister> i think maybe my usb hard drive is dying
[07:28] <n1lqj> Sinister, and if you log out and back in?
[07:28] <amnesia> i cant figure out how to make dialup work
[07:28] <Sinister> it still does it
[07:28] <pres> Sinister: perhaps a faulty usb connection?
[07:29] <prince_jammys> hmw: cool. i was in the midst of ineptly pastebinning the info file
[07:29] <Sinister> in gnome kde xfce
[07:29] <pres> Sinister: I've seen that before with faulty usb connections.
[07:29] <n1lqj> Sinister, that would do it if it is dying and coming back to life, aka a termal problem on the chip and it resets itself re-brining up media
[07:29] <mouse> Would it just be better to update the headers then update grub before rebooting?
[07:30] <hmw> prince_jammys: thank you anyways! I guess, I am already somewhat tired. Time for a break is near. Or more coffee...
[07:30] <n1lqj> or take a q-tip with alcohol and clean the usb connector on the drive and plug it in and out a few times on the pc
[07:30] <prince_jammys> hmw: bah, i'm not fond of info pages.
[07:30] <pres> prince_jammys: always coffee...
[07:30] <n1lqj> go back to NES days lol
[07:30] <n1lqj> blow on the connector
[07:30] <Sinister> i just closed the two folders and thre light came on the hard drive but didnt re open
[07:30] <Shapeshiftr> should I be able to just use IPkungfu?
[07:30] <PlutoISaPlanet> could someone tell me whether I should be using the open-source or the proprietary driver for an ATI X1650?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[07:31] <n1lqj> I tend to use proprietary when ever possible
[07:31] <amnesia>  why
[07:31] <pres> n1lqj: why not?
[07:31] <zombie_> derp
[07:31]  * airtonix smells troll
[07:31] <n1lqj> Open source is reversed engineered
[07:31] <pres> Because proprietry know their own products better than a clan developing os drivers.
[07:32] <canolucas> does everything in the linux-next branch reach the mainline tree? or only some of its commits get merged?
[07:32] <bullgard> greezmunkey: "various status" is a rather broad term and does not make clear to me what attribute output of smartctl is "rate type" and what not.
[07:32] <drew212> why do i get a boot disk failure, but when i use a disk to boot, i can still boot from the hard drive?
[07:32] <n1lqj> Ahteos open source is fine, they released their code to linux
[07:32] <amnesia> that's true
[07:33] <pres> drew212: what is telling you boot disc failure?
[07:33] <amnesia> u smell a troll over irc?
[07:33] <amnesia> u got some shrooms
[07:33] <n1lqj> After sitting in here a few hours tonight I feel like backing up my HDD
[07:33] <n1lqj> oye vey
[07:33] <airtonix> !ot
[07:33] <greezmunkey> bullgard: I don't even find that phrase in the man file I am looking at, what is the real issue here? Something you saw in palimpset?
[07:34] <pres> amnesia: there's trolls in all corners of the net, didn;t you know. When you're old enough and wise enough, you can smell them.
[07:34] <drew212> pres: if i start my computer without a cd of 9.04 in the drive, i get a blank screen telling me, boot disk failure, if i pop the disk in, i can select boot from first hard disc, and it works....
[07:34] <amnesia> gotcha
[07:34] <PlutoISaPlanet> I don't think fglrx drivers are available for my card (X1650) according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[07:34] <Cyber_Akuma-Lapt> *shrug* in my expirence propitery drivers and some software/plugins tend to perform better than the open source verions, problem is a lot of stuff is no longer supported with the propitery one
[07:34] <drew212> pres: i used to get grub errors all the time =X, then they stopped, now this
[07:34] <amnesia> i'm just listening in
[07:34] <n1lqj> drew212, mbr is prob blank
[07:34] <pres> drew212: Corrupt grub config?
[07:34] <amnesia> with a few words here and there haha
[07:34] <n1lqj> or corrupt
[07:34] <n1lqj> drew212, its not a mac right?
[07:35] <amnesia> ubuntu has ltsp build in correct?
[07:35] <amnesia> built*
[07:35] <pres> drew212: what is ltsp?
[07:35] <drew212> pres: how can i fix that? also, i cant use my 10.04 disc to boot, it goes right to booting from the disc, doesn't give me any options
[07:35] <drew212> n1lqj: no its not a mac, home built =)
[07:35] <n1lqj> drew212, not a mac right?
[07:35] <pres> drew212: what iso did you leech for 10.04?
[07:35] <n1lqj> k.
[07:35] <zombie_> fffffffffff
[07:35] <n1lqj> mac's boot differently
[07:35] <drew212> pres: uhh, i forget
[07:35] <n1lqj> not from mbr
[07:35] <drew212> pres: let me check
[07:36] <pres> drew212: ok
[07:36] <amnesia> linux terminal server
[07:36] <amnesia> boot rom pxe
[07:36] <amnesia> remote boot pc's
[07:36] <bullgard> greezmunkey: The real issue is that I cannot interpret the "Worst" attribute of palimpsest output (which corresponds to "WORST" attribute of smartctl output).
[07:36] <amnesia> via bootp or DHCP
[07:37] <n1lqj> cooked, off to bed all
[07:37] <pres> n1lqj: bye.
[07:37] <greezmunkey> bullgard: that is all manufacturer specific. They set the bar on those valuse. You would have to refer to their specs I'm afraid.
[07:37] <drew212> pres: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download is where i downloaded it from
[07:37] <drew212> pres: its the x86_64 bit
[07:38] <pres> drew212: when you first start the disc, you have to select the option to boot from hard disk first.
[07:38] <greezmunkey> bullgard: smart is pretty basic regarding the analitical information held on a particular drive.
[07:39] <drew212> pres: it didn't even give me the option, but i dont really care about that, i want my disc to boot without a CD =X
[07:39] <Guest38763> i want to make a word file using john and using ">" to input it into a file, is there a way to limit the amount of bytes that the file becomes?
[07:39] <pres> I'd suggest you clean install. That will fix all your boot issues.
[07:39] <drew212> eww...
[07:39] <prince_jammys> Guest38763: if the output is line based, you may use 'head'
[07:39] <pres> drew212: why so daunting?
[07:40] <drew212> pres: i hate clean installs, i have to set everything back up, and it's never the way i had it...
[07:40] <prince_jammys> Guest38763: e.g. your_prog | head -n 2000 > yourfile   # the first 2000 lines.
[07:40] <drew212> pres: i suspect there is a larger issue, because i cannot boot my windows partition anymore, possibly one of my HDDs failing
[07:40] <Guest38763> prince_jammys, cool ill check it out thanks
[07:40] <drew212> pres: my computer has a montage of issues =P
[07:40] <mouse> Can you update grub on a hard disk using a live cd?
[07:41] <pres> pres: download the UBCD and do some hdd tests and then you'll know the health of your drive(s).
[07:41] <pres> drew212:
[07:41] <PlutoISaPlanet> how can i find out which video driver i'm currently using?
[07:42] <greezmunkey> bullgard: goes kind of like this: mfgr sets an arbitrary value for a catagory of info like reallocated sectors. normalized value may be 100, the threshold may be 5. as long as the actual value is below 5, the combination of settings will not trigger a warning.
[07:42] <wildbat> PlutoISaPlanet, lsmod?
[07:42] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Are you talking about the Xserver driver or the Kernel Video driver?
[07:42] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: I'm not sure
[07:42] <Jordan_U> drew212: Have you checked your drive's SMART diagnostics with System > Administration > Disk Utility?
[07:43] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, What are you trying to do?
[07:43] <pres> exit
[07:43] <drew212> Jordan_U: i wouldn't know how to do that =X
[07:43] <drew212> Jordan_U: it says both discs are healthy
[07:43] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: get Boxee running... it's crashing.  Just got my ATI X1650 running but now Boxee doesn't open
[07:44] <Guest38763> prince_jammys, i just generated 200000 words in less then a second using those commands... i didn't know john was that fast
[07:44] <bullgard> greezmunkey: Still I wonder how a »worst value« can increase (with time? with what?)  --  man smartctl: "Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes."
[07:44] <prince_jammys> Guest38763: cool.
[07:44] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, I'm not up on Boxee....
[07:44] <arunkumar413> hi,what is the linux equivalent of windows' .NET
[07:44] <drew212> Jordan_U: it gives me a large error when i try to mount my 200gb hard disc, which contains my windows partition
[07:44] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Do you have the proper ATI X-server driver installed?
[07:44] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Or is that the original question?
[07:45] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: Not sure, could you tell me how to check?
[07:45] <airtonix> arunkumar413, http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
[07:45] <Jordan_U> arunkumar413: Mono is an implementation of C# and .NET for linux, what are you actually trying to do?
[07:45] <mediafool> hey
[07:45] <Shapeshiftr> do I really need a firewall?
[07:45] <bullgard> Shapeshiftr: No.
[07:45] <Shapeshiftr> my firewall isn't letting my access the webserver now
[07:46] <arunkumar413> Jordan_U: i want to learn building applications
[07:46] <Traveler1> do you tell ubuntu to fix the partition number of the drive or the drive in whole for MBR?
[07:46] <Shapeshiftr> that was kind of a rhetorical question.
[07:46] <Traveler1> and what is MBR?
[07:46] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Check yoru X log....  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:46] <Shapeshiftr> bullgard, of course you need one
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> You do?
[07:46] <airtonix> Shapeshiftr, why ?
[07:46] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, See if there is an error before the crash....
[07:46] <mediafool> hi and all that to all, im looking for someone that have tried windows based vst plugins succesfully in debian
[07:46] <Shapeshiftr> erm, security?
[07:46] <greezmunkey> bullgard: I think you have to take that for what it is. If a mfgr sets a "worst" value at 60, and your disk is approaching 60 - but the mfgr takes other bits of info in account in calculating that value, like overall lifetime, or time in service, and then allows that 60 to grow to 70, then there you are. It's all pretty subjective, and is a great excuse to sell replacement drives. Noodle on that.
[07:46] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Or use this to see if the Xwindows driver is loading properly....
[07:47] <bullgard> Shapeshiftr: Are you an evangelist? I know what I need.
[07:47] <Shapeshiftr> I mean, you can run a serer w/o it, just it would be really prone to viruses
[07:47] <Shapeshiftr> haha
[07:47] <airtonix> ...
[07:47] <Traveler1> do you tell ubuntu to fix the partition number of the drive or the drive in whole for MBR?
[07:47] <Traveler1> and what is MBR?
[07:47] <airtonix> Shapeshiftr, are you being cute or are you really not aware that no open ports means no incoming traffic ?
[07:48] <mediafool> ok guessing wrong place since ignored
[07:48] <Shapeshiftr> I opened ports...ah, crap, wow...
[07:48] <HermanDE_> mediafool,  What are VST plugins?
[07:48] <bullgard> greezmunkey: Ah! Now I got it. --  Sorry for bothering you so stubbornly. --  Thank you very much for your help.
[07:48] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: there are some Nvidia errors, could it be that some old nvidia drivers are still on the system since I moved off the onboard video?
[07:48] <Shapeshiftr> that was...*facepalm*
[07:48] <HermanDE_> mediafool, Perhaps a it is a Very Spechial Tool....
[07:49] <greezmunkey> airtonix: he's just getting his server up for the first time. I pointed him at the NAG, he's trying.
[07:49] <Traveler1> my system is not recognizing the realtek high def audio, only regular onboard
[07:49] <Nai-ux> hi, i installed a live ubuntu using usb-creator which seems to load from the flash drive, it drops me to (initramfs) prompt. i think a previous syslinux is interrupting it
[07:49] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Sure...  That could be part of the problem....
[07:49] <mediafool> i mean vst plugins  for example syntheithers commonly used in windows DAw's
[07:49] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) (EE) No drivers available.  Fatal server error: no screens found
[07:49] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, check the logs for when the system fails....
[07:49] <mediafool> plugin format
[07:49] <greezmunkey> bullgard: np man, I just made all of that up anyways :P
[07:49] <HermanDE_> mediafool, Ok...  Second question...  What is a DAw?
[07:49] <arunkumar413> Jordan_U: is mono available as .deb package
[07:49] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: this same log? it's not timestamped... I'm just assuming the latest is at the bottom
[07:49] <drizzt_> why was kde 3.5 removed from Ubuntu?
[07:50] <greezmunkey> bullgard: kidding :)
[07:50] <mediafool> short, digital audio workstation
[07:50] <mediafool> D.A.W =)
[07:50] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, You should see a series of logs...  .0 is the current XSession...  .1 is the one prior...  .2 is before that one....
[07:50] <HermanDE_> mediafool, Why use plugins when there are synth drivers in Linux?
[07:51] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: Ok... it's .0 I'm looking at
[07:51] <arunkumar413> can i install .NET on linux
[07:51] <Shapeshiftr> airtonix, what does it mean by "...a list of TCP ports that have servers listening on them on THIS machine."
[07:51] <Shapeshiftr> ?
[07:51] <Zeike> Can somebody help me figure out why conky isn't working properly.  the conky window get drawn with a black background & I can move it around by alt-clicking on it.
[07:51] <HermanDE_> arunkumar413, Check out mono...
[07:51] <prince_jammys> arunkumar413: take a loot at 'mono'.
[07:51] <prince_jammys> *look
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> I perfer to run away from Mono. :)
[07:51] <airtonix> Shapeshiftr, it means that there is some software running in the background (ie apache) that is set to listen on a particular port for traffic and process it.
[07:51] <prince_jammys> i had it as a kid, i'm immune
[07:51] <HermanDE_> Dr_Willis, Mono is a sign that you don't live in your moms basement....
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> Zeike:  check the conky homepage/faq  You proberly have to set some specific settings for it to work properly.
[07:52] <mediafool> since it would be nice to use what ive always used but linux ones works good but im curious
[07:52] <Shapeshiftr> mm.
[07:52] <arunkumar413> HermanDE_: i check the mono website,but the .deb package is not there in it
[07:52] <HermanDE_> mediafool, Switching to Linux usually requires a switch of applications.....
[07:52] <Takyoji> So, I formatted an old Ubuntu partition, and have an issue with GRUB at boot, it falls to "grub rescue", whenever I try to type an specific commands to boot, it implies "unknown filesystem"
[07:52] <Shapeshiftr> ok, firewall seems to be working...
[07:53] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: remember that netstat command? did you write it down?
[07:53] <HermanDE_> arunkumar413, Ubuntu has it in the repository.....
[07:53] <Takyoji> It dual-boots both XP and Ubuntu 10.04
[07:53] <Takyoji> It's GRUB2
[07:53] <webroasters> i'm using the mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>command, and when I get to writin gthe email, i entered and then I put the dot in, and hit enter again, but it keeps going instead of ending the message!?
[07:53] <mediafool> there are linux apps that allow u to load vst plugins but im not sure if its windows ones or vst for linux
[07:53] <Shapeshiftr> no, I was trying to remember it, what was it again?
[07:53] <Shapeshiftr> sudo netstat | greb apache or something?
[07:53] <prince_jammys> webroasters: cntrl-d
[07:53] <webroasters> why wont it end the message and send it
[07:53] <Takyoji> XP as /dev/sda1, Ubuntu as /dev/sda6
[07:53] <webroasters> oh ok 1 sec
[07:53] <mediafool> maybe can be done with win ice oh yeah
[07:53] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: there are lots of ways to do this, but I like netstat -antp | grep "LISTEN"
[07:53] <HermanDE_> webroasters, Big choice time....  Dr Google, Read the manual.... or press ctrl-D....
[07:53] <Shapeshiftr> mm.
[07:53] <SpiKe_> hello, i need some help with my wifi.. for some reason the switch on the laptop is set to ON, but nothing show's up in 'ifconfig' as wireless.. i only get local, and eth0..
[07:54] <prince_jammys> webroasters: you have to send that to top reading from stdin
[07:54] <HermanDE_> webroasters, As in "Done"
[07:54] <prince_jammys> *stop
[07:54] <arunkumar413> HermanDE_: my net connection is very slow,thats why i want the .deb package so that i can ask my friend to download it
[07:54] <webroasters> right guys, thanks, i didn't know that
[07:54] <webroasters> i appreciate it
[07:54] <prince_jammys> welcome
[07:54] <mediafool> ah well thought i would check anyways
[07:54] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: that shows pretty much your primary services, but check out the man page, and play with it. It's very useful.
[07:54] <Shapeshiftr> man = manual, i understand and like that
[07:54] <HermanDE_> arunkumar413, Mono has too many dependencies...  You may already have it installed....
[07:54] <Shapeshiftr> :3
[07:55] <HermanDE_> arunkumar413, It is not a single deb....  More like about 2 dozen debs....
[07:55] <mediafool> found list of channels hihi
[07:55] <HermanDE_> arunkumar413, And could be plenty more....
[07:55] <HermanDE_> mediafool, Have you checked out the Media centered distros?
[07:55] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: keep a notebook handy, keep track of what you do to your computer. It's a great help later if something goes wrong.
[07:55] <SpiKe_> can anyone help ?
[07:56] <Zeike> Nothing on the conky website is helpful.  I'm running compiz and can't get conky's background to be transparent, or stick the window.
[07:56] <Shapeshiftr> that's probably a good idea
[07:56] <HermanDE_> SpiKe_, Nope....
[07:56] <mediafool> yeah a little couldnt get it set up properly though
[07:56] <Jordan_U> Takyoji: Do you have any linux partition currently?
[07:56] <HermanDE_> mediafool, Which distro?
[07:56] <SpiKe_> why not?
