[00:00] <hiku> Solow: thats it. thats how long your server has been up
[00:00] <Solow> 9 days, 10 hours, 10 hours 12 minutes
[00:00] <ilovefairuz> Guest2952: have you tried reinstalling grub from the live cd?
[00:00] <Dr_Willis> progesterone:  how are you copy/pasteing in vim?
[00:00] <hiku> Solow: yup, or you could just type  uptime
[00:00] <filosofixit> ilovefairuz : the setup will be in a student dorm so security is kind of essential :p
[00:00] <Guest2952> ilovefairuz: I did, I also did a grub-update, same problem
[00:00] <Guest57346> anyone know of a decent linux distro for a p150 with about 32 mb ram?
[00:00] <ilovefairuz> filosofixit: then use hostapd + dnsmasq
[00:01] <hiku> Guest2952: damnsmalllinux?
[00:01] <Martin|2> ^
[00:01] <filosofixit> ilovefairuz : any idea of master mode support for the rt61 chip then in the kernel then?
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> Guest2396:  that low of ram will be VERY VERY limiting.   More of a limit then the CPU
[00:01] <Guest57346> hiku, was that meant for me?
[00:01] <stopher123> Good Evening all.  I'm dabbling with ntpd here, and all of our devices use a 0 adjustment for time zone.  I'm trying to get the server to give the devices time in a -7 offset automatically.  Is this possible?
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> Guest2396:  You may have to go some console/text only route.
[00:02] <ilovefairuz> Guest2952: have you tried dropping to a grub shell and testing it manually?
[00:02] <ilovefairuz> filosofixit: check http://linuxwireless.org/
[00:02] <progesterone> Dr_Willis I copy and paste by Ctrl+Shift+C and V
[00:02] <Gnurdux> How does one set screen brightness why unplugged?
[00:02] <Martin|2> Guest57346, Yes, Damn small linux
[00:02] <Guest57346> Dr_Willis, what if I was using 80mb ram?
[00:02] <Guest2952> ilovefairuz: haven't tried that, I wouldn't know how
[00:02] <filosofixit> ilovefauruz : thanks :)
[00:02] <quietstorm> Hello all.
[00:02] <Guest57346> oops
[00:02] <ilovefairuz> !grub2 > Guest2952
[00:03] <quietstorm> I have a random question. I know the basic syntax of the nice command, but how do I use it to execute a conditional?
[00:03] <ilovefairuz> !hi | quietstorm
[00:03] <Guest57346> Martin|2, could I get a gui?
[00:03] <quietstorm> Basically, what I want is this, but it doesn't work...
[00:03] <quietstorm> nice -n 19 if [ true ]; then dosoomething; fi
[00:03] <Martin|2> Guest57346, yes, it has a gui
[00:03] <quietstorm> But that doesn't work.
[00:03] <MaxSan> hey people
[00:03] <Dr_Willis> progesterone:  you may want to read a vi tutor or 2 and use the vi 'buffers' not the terminals copy/paste featurte.
[00:03] <hiku> Guest57346: alot of linux distros with a gui will choke with less than 512mb ram. If you want to run a system without a gui and without running any major services like apache, tomcat etc, then you should be fine with a base install no X
[00:03] <Guest57346> Martin|2, not sure it's worth messing with, but it would be fun to do
[00:04] <MaxSan> new to this
[00:04] <MaxSan> anyone help with an odd new problem?
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> !info vimtutor
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> !find vimtutor
[00:04] <MaxSan> im getting an error 128 on instaling any package from ubuntu service center
[00:04] <MaxSan> any ideas
[00:04] <MaxSan> please
[00:04] <erUSUL> quietstorm: if nice -n 19 command; then .... ; fi ?
[00:04] <ilovefairuz> quietstorm: what's supposed to be "true" ?
[00:04] <thune3> nice -n 19 bash -c 'if [ true ]; then dosoomething; fi'   ?
[00:04] <Martin|2> Guest57346, When i said GUI, I mean, think windows 95/98 quality XD
[00:04] <progesterone> Dr_Willis Thanks
[00:05] <quietstorm> ilovefairuz: True is just an example condition.
[00:05] <Guest57346> Martin|2, something like fluxbox?
[00:05] <hiku> Martin|2: fvwm2 might work ok for him
[00:05] <quietstorm> erUSUL: that's a good idea. I'm surprised I didn't think of that. I'll try it and report back.
[00:05] <Dr_Willis> progesterone:  'vimtutor' command gives you a nice tutorial to get you up to speed.
[00:05] <erUSUL> quietstorm: still not sure what are you trying to do...
[00:06] <ilovefairuz> quietstorm: are you trying to nice the code running inside the conditional ?
[00:06] <hiku> Guest57346: check out "tiny core" linux.
[00:06] <Guest57346> hiku, thanks... This is hilarious as it doesn't even have USB
[00:07] <hiku> Guest57346: oh... lol yea that is funny.
[00:07] <quietstorm> ilovfairuz: I'm trying that now. It looks promising.
[00:07] <Alex91> suppose I wanted to transfer files over our network from a XP box to a ubuntu laptop. what would I do bout dat.
[00:07] <hiku> Alex91: use scp
[00:07] <ilovefairuz> quietstorm: what are you trying to accomplish ?
[00:07] <Alex91> win scp?
[00:07] <hiku> Alex91: sure
[00:07] <Alex91> what's the host name?
[00:07] <quietstorm> erUSUL, ilovefairuz: Basically, I'm trying to run nice on a conditional, like the following: nice -n 19 if [ *condition* ]; then *dosomething*; fi
[00:07] <Alex91> laptop or xp box
[00:08] <hiku> Alex91: make sure your laptop is running the ssh server and your all set
[00:08] <Spookster> Question: My laptop (running Ubuntu) has a broken screen, but currently an external monitor is working. When I close the laptop lid, though, the display on the external monitor shuts off... in the "Power Management" preferences, I can choose the action to be taken when the laptop lid is closed, but "Do nothing" is not an option, only undesirable effects like Shutdown, Hibernate, etc. are available... how might I instruct Ubuntu to do nothi
[00:08] <formey> I'm getting frustrated with trying to install lucid, when it decides to boot to the cd it takes about 30 minutes and gives me an error, if it gets that far without telling me it can't read the media
[00:08] <Alex91> oh how to i run the shh server on ubuntu
[00:08] <ilovefairuz> quietstorm: use thune3's suggestion
[00:08] <erUSUL> quietstorm: if is shell syntax you can not nice it
[00:08] <quietstorm> erUSUL, ilovefairuz: Moving nice *inside* the if did the trick. Thanks, guys!
[00:08] <erUSUL> quietstorm: you have to nice the shell doing the conditional
[00:09] <quietstorm> erUSUL: Yeah, that makes sense. I'm surprised I didn't realize that. :-)
[00:09] <hiku> Alex91: install it with "sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[00:09] <erUSUL> quietstorm: still do not see the point of the exescise
[00:09] <ilovefairuz> Alex91: hostname is just any name you choose to represent your computer on your network
[00:09] <quietstorm> erUSUL: Why is that?
[00:10] <ilovefairuz> quietstorm: because nice acts on processes not on bash syntax
[00:10] <Guest57346> hiku, tinycore is exactly what I was looking for
[00:10] <erUSUL> quietstorm: what do you need to nice the conditional ??? is not like it is an expensive operaton or something
[00:10] <progesterone> Dr_Willis ok
[00:10] <hiku> Alex91: the default hostname on a laptop with ubuntu (unless you changed it) is yourusername-laptop as the hostname
[00:10] <quietstorm> ilovefairuz: Yeah I see that now.
[00:10] <hiku> Guest57346: oh sweet.
[00:10] <quietstorm> erUSUL: You're right. What I wanted was for nice to operate on the command *inside* the conditional, but I didn't realize I had the syntax wrong.
[00:10] <ilovefairuz> formey: did you verify the ISO image and burned it slow?
[00:11] <erUSUL> quietstorm: fair enough
[00:11] <quietstorm> erUSUL: I am trying to get the conditional on one line (it's for a crontab), so I stupidly thought to put nice at the beginning of the line... :-)
[00:11] <hiexpo> sup all
[00:11] <hiku> hi hiexpo
[00:11] <quietstorm> erUSUL, ilovefairuz: Anyway, thanks guys. I really appreciate the help.
[00:11] <formey> ilovefairuz: yes, burned it at 1/2 speed, i hate to ask and sound stupid but does it make a difference if it's dvd-rw vice cd or dvd-r?
[00:12] <hiexpo> hiku,  hello
[00:12] <hiku> formey: it shouldn't matter at all.
[00:12] <CyL> Is there a way to replace the default netowrk manager, or just disable it, at all?
[00:12] <ilovefairuz> formey: but did you verify before burning?
[00:12] <formey> hiku: didn't think so, but with my luck something stupid like that would make a difference
[00:12] <ilovefairuz> CyL: try wicd
[00:12] <trineox> formey: it depends on the size of the file and what format your burner supports.
[00:13] <hiku> formey: did you md5sum the iso after you downloaded it?
[00:13] <hiexpo> CyL,  why u wanna relace network manager
[00:13] <formey> ilove: checksum, verified before and after burning
[00:13] <hiexpo> CyL,  wicd NO
[00:14] <CyL> hiexpo: because it doesn handle very well the kind of connection I use... for example, I just can't make it work with a MAC other than my defafault...
[00:14] <ilovefairuz> !tab | formey
[00:14] <jaycount> I have 2 displays setup as seperate X screens (thru nvidia x with xinerama), my right display is my primary while my left display is a tv I use for watching movies and occasionally surfing the web, etc. (though rarely). Alot of the times I'll have my left display off or on a tv channel or some other source but with 10.04 apps ALWAYS open to the left screen, forcing me to change the source, drag them over and change back, any ideas on a fix?
[00:14] <progesterone> Dr_Willis Are you still there?
[00:14] <formey> yea..i'm stuck on the windows machine right now and i'm bein lazy switchin back and forth between computers, sorry
[00:14] <Dark_Star1> morning all
[00:14] <aeon-ltd> jaycount: switch the dvi/vga leads ?
[00:15] <hiexpo> CyL,  it's something else than not network manager
[00:15] <jaycount> aeon-ltd, but for my gnome panels, etc. the right monitor is my primary
[00:15] <ilovefairuz> hiexpo: wicd works very well and it IS a network management application, either specify your issue with it or stop spreading misinformation
[00:15] <jaycount> and I dual boot windows and everything is setup for the right one to be my primary there as well
[00:15] <jaycount> so switching leads would be a huge hassle lol
[00:16] <CyL> hiexpo: Well, it works like a charm when I do it through ifconfig, but again, firefox wouldn't recognize it is online because network manager doesn't say so
[00:16] <formey> right now the other computer is going through the boot process (or so I hope) the Ubuntu logo with the white/red dots...it did this for a bit before and then kicked me to a ramfs prompt
[00:16] <ilovefairuz> formey: got a spare usb penprive ? try unetbootin
[00:16] <hiexpo> CyL,  if you dl wicd it will remove nw and wicd is worse and than your outta luck cause you won't be able to get on to reinstall network manager i did that lol
[00:16] <ilovefairuz> hiexpo: again, this is unacceptable
[00:17] <CyL> ilovefairuz: there's no need to blame him, I got your point...
[00:17] <Martin|2> thune3, I sorted my problem, I still had git-core installed xP
[00:17] <hiexpo> ilovefairuz,  what is unacceptable
[00:17] <formey> ilovefairuz: I have one somewhere, i honestly don't think the bios of the other box supports usb boot
[00:18] <ilovefairuz> CyL: it's not just about your question. hiexpo is spreading misinformation based on his/her ignorance of how to properly use wicd
[00:19] <CyL> ilovefairuz: so you'd advice wicd... any other option?
[00:19] <guest99> I'm still having that dual boot grub problem. I've added a new entry but it gives the same problem. "no such device"
[00:19] <hiexpo> CyL,  ok go aheaad and try that disregard my knowlrde
[00:19] <hiexpo> ^knowledge
[00:19] <progesterone> On Ubuntu terminal, I want to copy text from one tab and paste into another tab. Ctrl+Shift+C and V copy and paste only a certain amount of characters. yy and p only support within the same tab. How can I do that?
[00:20] <ilovefairuz> CyL: you can manually configure the interface in /etc/network/interfaces, it's very easy especially if you don't use wireless
[00:20] <hiku> progesterone: I just highlight stuff with my mouse, then middle click to paste
[00:21] <progesterone> hiku It works on Putty but Ubuntu terminal.
[00:21] <hiexpo> ilovefairuz, CyL  i was refering to wireless so if it is not than i did not wait  and sorry
[00:21] <CyL> ilovefairuz: unfortunatelly I use it a lot
[00:21] <ilovefairuz> hiexpo: CyL: wicd works with wireless networks very well too
[00:22] <erUSUL> progesterone: select with mouse paste with middle click ?
[00:22] <CyL> ilovefairuz: What about 3g connections?
[00:22] <rww> hiexpo: the wicd package doesn't conflict with network-manager any more, so no, it won't remove network-manager
[00:22] <ilovefairuz> CyL: I haven't tried that but check their website
[00:22] <CyL> rww: Is there a way to disable network-manager while using wicd?
[00:22] <hiexpo> ilovefairuz,  from my experience with many comps not just everyone wicd boggs and has problems connecting
[00:23] <mhall119> QUESTION: is there a way to run a script before my laptop goes into suspend?
[00:23] <hiku> progesterone: yes I use ubuntu daily and if I need to copy paste I'll either highlight the text with the mouse, click new tab, and then paste with the middle (scroll wheel). Or you can highlight, rightclick and choose copy. and then right click and paste.
[00:23] <rww> "worse" is subjective. Some people prefer wicd. Some people prefer network-manager. Some people have stupid broken wifi drivers that only work with network-manager for some stupid reason.
[00:24] <MaxSan> please
[00:24] <MaxSan> i meed help
[00:24] <MaxSan> ;<
[00:24] <hiku> !ask > MasSan
[00:24] <ilovefairuz> hiexpo: your experience is not at all representative of the state of an application
[00:24] <hiku> !ask > MaxSan
[00:24] <rww> ... and I just got a huge lag spike, so I have no idea whether what I just wrote was horribly delayed :(
[00:24] <ilovefairuz> !details | MaxSan
[00:24] <rww> CyL: dunno about disabling it. People generally just remove it.
[00:24] <CyL> rww: okay, thanks
[00:24] <MaxSan> !ask im new and i have a errror 128 on everything i try to instal  from ththe ubunutu service center
[00:24] <isleshocky77> I've been looking through the packaging documentation for a while now and still I'm running in circles. Could someone set me straight. I took the source of pidgin-libnotify and modified one file. Now I want to get a build in my personal launchpad ppa for x32 and amd64
[00:25] <ilovefairuz> CyL: what exactly is your issue with network manager?
[00:25] <ilovefairuz> MaxSan: take a screenshot and upload it
[00:25] <MaxSan> im on a differerent laptop
[00:25] <hiexpo> ilovefairuz,  if it were so much better than network manager in which ubuntu comes with ubuntu would use it and my experience is great    / and please don't disrespect me nor my knowledge nor would i you
[00:25] <MaxSan> il attemp this
[00:25] <spinningcompass> mhall119: See http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide/html/ch09s02.html
[00:25] <mhall119> spinningcompass: thanks
[00:26] <spinningcompass> mhall119: /usr/sbin/apmd_proxy
[00:26] <ilovefairuz> hiexpo: again, your "knowledge" is not at all representative of the state of an application
[00:26] <mhall119> spinningcompass: I want to have a script run when I hit the suspend button, I don't want a script that triggers suspend
[00:26] <Thqrmt> what command to i runt o get some ip info about my machine?
[00:27] <aftertaf> Thqrmt: ifconfig
[00:27] <Thqrmt> ah
[00:27] <hiku> Thqrmt: ifconfig
[00:27] <spinningcompass> mhall119: I know that. :)
[00:27] <CyL> ilovefairuz: First, I don't like it to autmatically connect to any netwrok it sees available... secon, it just doesn't work with some interfaces I have when I need to change their MAC addresses
[00:27] <spinningcompass> mhall119: I said, look at /usr/sbin/apmd_proxy
[00:27] <hiexpo> ilovefairuz,  ok you have confused me whay my knowledge is not  at all representative of the state of an application
[00:28] <Thqrmt> which one is the one I need to connect to for transfering files? they all look generic
[00:28] <mhall119> spinningcompass: I don't have apmd_proxy
[00:28] <hiku> hiexpo: ilovefairuz can you take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please. thanks.
[00:28] <spinningcompass> mhall119: Is that because you're not running APM, and are instead running ACPI?
[00:28] <wildbat> question ~ you can set ip address to a interface ~ but can you UNset it ?
[00:29] <mhall119> spinningcompass: acpi sounds right
[00:29] <hiexpo> i am done stated my peace thanks hiku
[00:29] <hiku> Thqrmt: how many interfaces do you have on your computer? how many are hardwired and connected to your box?
[00:29] <ilovefairuz> CyL: wicd intentionally doesn't connect to any available wireless networks, but i'm not sure if network manager can support this behavior or not
[00:29] <hiku> hiexpo: =) np
[00:29] <spinningcompass> mhal	: OK. Perhaps there's a similar file for ACPI , which performs the same function as /usr/sbin/apmd_proxy
[00:29] <th0r> wildbat: you unset it by setting it to something else
[00:29] <rww-test> mhall119: I dunno if someone mentioned this already since my client went funky, but /etc/pm/sleep.d looks promising
[00:30] <CyL> ilovefairuz: that is why I'll just replaced network manager
[00:30] <progesterone> erUSUL hiku Thanks
[00:30] <Thqrmt> hiku: i donno I did this before and it was just some command that gave me a unique IP address (this machines) to connect to this is just a laptop
[00:30] <hiku> progesterone: your welcome
[00:30] <mhall119> rww-test: that looks like what i'm after, thanks
[00:30] <Wormfall> How do I make Evolution be docked in the bottom right hand panel beside the garbage can, instead of the bottom toolbar?
[00:30] <rww> mhall119: np
[00:31] <ilovefairuz> wildbat: or just bring the interface down: sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[00:33] <rallias> Does anyone know a good guide to email servers on ubuntu?
[00:34] <profxavier> rallias, what do you want to do ?
[00:34] <profxavier> rallias, I just did something similarly, myself
[00:34] <erUSUL> !mailserver
[00:34] <rallias> I wish to set up a new email server for my new website and evolution is giving me an error when I try to connect to it.
[00:34] <shane2peru> nvidia, why is my temp running about 47C in the red now days?  it always has run around 40, I'm not even running any heavy duty stuff???
[00:34] <profxavier> or you can read long, boring [someone had too much time on their hands] links :D
[00:35] <profxavier> rallias, ok, so you want the site to send emails? or you are hosting your own site ?
[00:36] <rallias> profxavier: its an old computer (roughly 1.3 ghz processor, 512 MB ram) and I need to know how to properly set up the server and the dns settings.
[00:36] <profxavier> rallias, ok, sorry I cannot help you there, I thought you wanted to send emails from it
[00:38] <rallias> profxavier: i do. The dns is configured correctly, i just need to fix the smtp server
[00:38] <formey> do they still develop BitchX?
[00:38] <abarbaccia> hi all - when im transferring files over my home wired network i'm getting slow speeds (~10MiB/s) and there is a process called "backend" that is pegged at 100% CPU - what is this process?
[00:39] <hiku> rallias: have you tried using postfix?
[00:39] <Patero-ng> hey guys
[00:39] <rallias> hiku: that is what I am using
[00:39] <Patero-ng> I just installed ubuntu 10 whoooo
[00:39] <Patero-ng> the problem is I want to shield it
[00:39] <Patero-ng> I just run live cd I mean
[00:39] <rallias> Patero-ng: shield it in what way?
[00:39] <Patero-ng> but want protection should I change the password
[00:39] <Patero-ng> against hacking
[00:40] <rallias> Patero-ng: do you have a hard drive to install it to?
[00:40] <Patero-ng> no
[00:40] <mhall119> Patero-ng: is your password weak?
[00:40] <Patero-ng> just speak up what are the wey
[00:40] <Patero-ng> is a live install all default
[00:40] <rallias> Patero-ng: to the best of my knowledge, unless you install something with synaptic, live cd does not have any outbound services, making it unhackable.
[00:40] <hiku> rallias: ok, guess I missed the question. are you having issues sending email?
[00:41] <bastid_raZor> shane2peru: maybe you need to clean the inside of you box.
[00:41] <rallias> hiku: yes
[00:41] <hiku> rallias: is your mail server stand alone to the internet or do you need to use your isp's email server as a gateway?
[00:41] <rallias> evolution gives the following error: RCPT TO<EMAIL_ADDRESS>failed<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Relay access denied
[00:42] <rallias> hiku: it is on a properly forewarded localnet
[00:42] <ilovefairuz> !enter | Patero-ng
[00:42] <formey> ilovefairuz:  The other computer just got done grinding through the initialization and this is what I get: (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[00:43] <profxavier> rallias, its because you are trying to send an email to something outside of your local network
[00:43] <profxavier> rallias, I also, had the same issue
[00:43] <ilovefairuz> Patero-ng: ubuntu comes with a firewall,  type 'man ufw' in a terminal
[00:43] <hiku> rallias: ok so can you pastebin the output from mail -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:43] <guest99> I can't boot to windows. Help please?
[00:44] <profxavier> guest99, new install ?
[00:44] <ilovefairuz> formey: from a usb pendrive? what did you use  to put the ISO on it?
[00:44] <guest99> profxavier, yes new install
[00:44] <profxavier> guest99, which did you install second ?
[00:44] <guest99> profxavier, linux
[00:44] <thijss> Hi hi, question
[00:44] <profxavier> guest99, what seems to be the problem then, in detail, all on one line
[00:44] <biodegabriel> When I run "apt-get -u upgrade" I get some error messages. Should I be worried about it? http://pastie.org/1085008
[00:45] <rallias> hiku: give me a couple minnutes. How do i delete a file from the command line?
[00:45] <mhall119> rallias: rm $filename
[00:45] <formey> ilovefairuz: that was from the dvd, i'm about to go get my pendrive from my laptop bag and use the usb loader on the ubuntu site to put the iso on it
[00:45] <thijss> I have 2 servers in a datacenter, however, i failed to configure one right, and i got no acces to it whatsoever. Is there any way to check on what port the ssh on the second machine is running?
[00:45] <guest99> profxavier, I have to menu choice, but when booting to it i get "unknown device" and "unknown partition" then it goes back to grub
[00:46] <mhall119> thijss: did you change it from the default 22?
[00:46] <profxavier> guest99, did you install Ubuntu on the Windows partition?
[00:46] <shane2peru> bastid_raZor, could be, but I did that not too long ago, now it is back down to 43 and no longer red
[00:46] <ilovefairuz> formey: try unetbootin
[00:46] <thijss> mhall119: yes, but i can't connect to either the one i changed it to, or the 22
[00:46] <guest99> profxavier, windows is on the first drive, ubuntu on the second drive
[00:46] <ilovefairuz> thijss: nmap
[00:46] <mhall119> thijss: then there's a good change your config file wasn't right, and now it can't start at all
[00:46] <Thqrmt> how do I transfer files between two computers directly connected by ethernet cable?
[00:46] <thijss> ilovefairuz: all right, any tips on the usage of nmap?
[00:46] <profxavier> guest99, so you believe the Windows partition is still intact ?
[00:47] <th0r> thijss: did you remember to open that port on the firewall?
[00:47] <hiku> rallias: if it's a file your username created use rm, if you created it with sudo then use sudo rm /path/to/file
[00:47] <thijss> mhall119: auch..
[00:47] <profxavier> Thqrmt, cross-over cable
[00:47] <guest99> profxavier, it is.
[00:47] <thijss> th0r: I dont believe i installed a firewall at all..
[00:47] <formey> ilovefairuz: is it a windows application?  I can't boot to my other machine right now :-(
[00:47] <Thqrmt> what's that profxavier
[00:47] <profxavier> guest99, and GRUB [ if that is your bootloader], offers Windows as an option, but will not boot into it?
[00:48] <profxavier> Thqrmt: you can use google, and read about it all day

[00:48] <formey> disregard, i found it
[00:48] <dapeamel> hello guys does all computers use the same kernel config or been the kernel config autoconfigured by the computer?.
[00:48] <guest99> profxavier, yes grub has the option but errors out when booting to it
[00:48] <formey> be back in a few
[00:48] <hiku> !paste > rallias
[00:48] <profxavier> guest99, did you see anything unusual during the installation, to cause GRUB to be configured incorrect ?
[00:49] <th0r> dapeamel: there is a default kernel config. It is the module list that is modified for each hardware configuration
[00:49] <mangojambo> hi, I'm  pressing the audio Volume function keys in my Netbook and it doesn't stop and I can't do anything else. In Mandriva it works fine, but ubuntu or UNR doesn't. How can I fix it?
[00:49] <Thqrmt> yeah i see it's a device. well i have the router in front of me would I be able to plug them both in and go from there?
[00:49] <profxavier> hiku, that was already posted in the channel
[00:49] <guest99> profxavier, no pretty normal install
[00:49] <hiku> profxavier: doh, didn't see that
[00:49] <profxavier> Thqrmt, sure, they both have an IP address
[00:49] <profxavier> hiku, the bot auto-recognizes it
[00:49] <rallias> sorry had something other then the proper pastebin in the clipboard
[00:49] <guest99> profxavier, the only thing not default was I choose to install to the second drive rather than resize windows
[00:49] <ilovefairuz> formey: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[00:50] <rallias> hiku the pastebin is http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ZyJJPnMh
[00:50] <dapeamel> th0r, um can you explain more in detail please..
[00:50] <profxavier> guest99, unusual, do you have just one drive, or multiples ? [with the OSes on it]
[00:50] <EddieV113> guys i accidently made my windows partition to small while installing ubuntu is there a way to make it bigger and made the ubuntu partition smaller?  They are both on same disk.
[00:50] <steph021_mac> j #debian
[00:50] <rallias> the message sent is in my inbo
[00:51] <th0r> dapeamel: at install the kernel config is a default. The install program creates a list of modules to load on startup, depending on the hardware and software chosen. for instance, video is a module, not a kernel config.
[00:51] <biodegabriel> Hi everyone! N00B Question here: I am getting errors when I run a simple "apt-get upgrade" command. Are these serious errors? Has anyone seen this before? http://pastie.org/1085008
[00:51] <guest99> profxavier, 2 drives. a 320 as the first with windows xp on ntfs. the second is 2 TB with a swap and a / as ext4
[00:51] <profxavier> EddieV113, how did you move the partition sizes ? [in the first place]
[00:51] <ilovefairuz> dapeamel: basically it's the same kernel + modules, at runtime the hardware is probed and necessary modules are loaded
[00:51] <Thqrmt> where are shared files on ubuntu? files shared by other comps on the network
[00:51] <EddieV113> in ubuntu with the g thing
[00:51] <rallias> hiku: I have no further question. The mailserver is working properly.
[00:51] <dapeamel> th0r,sorry I have no much experience from ubuntu Im a gentoo user.. but its been automatic configured in ubuntu ?.
[00:51] <EddieV113> is it safe to resize them again?
[00:52] <profxavier> guest99, can you pull the Ubuntu drive and confirm you can launch into windows, then you will know its an issue with GRUB
[00:52] <formey> i don't have usb boot as an option :-(
[00:52] <ilovefairuz> Thqrmt: Places > Network
[00:52] <hiku> rallias: hmm, ok how about pasting in "tail /var/log/mail.log"
[00:52] <th0r> dapeamel: the module list is automatically configured, yes
[00:52] <rallias> hiku: it is working properly now. Thanks for the help.
[00:52] <ilovefairuz> dapeamel: it's pre-built
[00:52] <profxavier> Thqrmt, you want to share between which OSEs ?
[00:52] <ilovefairuz> !install > formey
[00:52] <profxavier> EddieV113, you might lose data, if you resize partitions, are you willing to lose data ?
[00:52] <hiku> rallias: lol ok... wow I really didn't do anything but cool glad it's working =)
[00:53] <guest99> profxavier, I have run the windows recovery and did a fixmbr. It booted windows. Then I used a live cd to reinstall grub, and now I'm back to where I started. So yes it is a grub problem.
[00:53] <whileimhere231> Hi again. I have the wmii desktop installed. It works but of course I have no clue how to start a program up as it has no icon menu and I cannot seem to get a terminal up and running. Any ideas?
[00:53] <EddieV113> that sounds so bad
[00:53] <dapeamel> ok ok have they a own kernel website or is it the original?
[00:53]  * profxavier high 5s hiku :D
[00:53] <EddieV113> what do you mean might?
[00:53] <rallias> hiku: it was a dns refresh issue.
[00:53] <ilovefairuz> whileimhere231: win key + enter will open a terminal
[00:53] <whileimhere231> ahhh
[00:53] <hiku> rallias: ah... did you just add in your mx entry to a dns server?
[00:53] <whileimhere231> Thank you!
[00:53] <profxavier> Guest99, so you confirmed the current Windows install is working ?
[00:53] <th0r> dapeamel: I don't understand that question
[00:54] <guest99> profxavier, yes it does work
[00:54] <hiku> me thanks profxavier
[00:54] <whileimhere231> Now is there a way to have it launch a program like wahcade when it starts?
[00:54]  * hiku thanks profxavier
[00:54] <rallias> hiku: it did, googles dns servers haven't refreshed its cache yet.
[00:54] <ilovefairuz> whileimhere231: read the manual for that
[00:54] <dapeamel> ok ok. thanks anyway the question isnt rly matter..
[00:54] <EddieV113> i could reinstall ubuntu if i have too
[00:54] <profxavier> EddieV113, when addressing others, its helpful to start your post with that users nick, so they can notice it easier
[00:54] <whileimhere231> yeah that is interesting as the man pages are empty on its website.
[00:54] <dapeamel> th0r, is ubuntuś kernel config available to download?.
[00:55] <profxavier> guest99, ok, so it is an issue with GRUB, I dont believe I can help you further with it, sorry
[00:55] <whileimhere231> Ill google more
[00:55] <ilovefairuz> dapeamel: ubuntu doesn't compile the kernel at installation time and to get the source for any package, sudo apt-get source packagename
[00:55] <th0r> dapeamel: you install the kernel sources, then cd to that directory and issue a 'make oldconfig' command
[00:55] <Patero-ng> guys how to make a zip disk read only
[00:55] <guest99> any grub experts here?
[00:55] <th0r> dapeamel: then you can examine that config to see how the default kernel is configured
[00:55] <dapeamel> ok ok I see thanks..
[00:55] <rallias> Patero-ng: set read permissions for everyone read and the owner read and the group read
[00:55] <profxavier> EddieV113, do you even know if Windows still works, because you said the Windows partition was re-sized, to allow for an Ubuntu install
[00:55] <ilovefairuz> guest99: pastebin sudo fdisk -l
[00:56] <crankharder> how do I get vim installed with +ruby (one of the options in vim --version) ??
[00:56] <BluesKaj> gonna check the boot
[00:56] <profxavier> !grub
[00:56] <EddieV113> profxavier yes it works im using it right now
[00:56] <EddieV113> and ubuntu works too
[00:56] <dapeamel> I just wonder if I can copy the kernelconfig ubuntu using, to gentoo setup. cause in ubuntu works all my hardware.. thats my issue in gentoo I tried to find out all but rly didnt work..
[00:56] <Patero-ng> rallias,
[00:56] <Patero-ng> the hardware wey
[00:56] <th0r> dapeamel: no...you can't
[00:56] <dapeamel> cause other versions also packages?.
[00:56] <profxavier> EddieV113, good, then I suggest doing a resize, then a reinstall of Ubuntu, if necessary [if Ubuntu doesn't work after the resize]
[00:57] <EddieV113> profxavier, using the g tool thing in ubuntu?
[00:57] <ilovefairuz> dapeamel: it's not only about a kernel, there is a vast of array of other daemons that cooperate to get things to work, so dump gentoo :)
[00:57] <th0r> dapeamel: if you are having hw issues with gentoo, it is probably module issues, not kernel config
[00:57] <profxavier> EddieV113, with whatever you feel comforatable with, its called Gparted FYI
[00:57] <rallias> Patero-ng: http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/search?q=zip+drive+read+only
[00:57] <EddieV113> kty :)
[00:58] <guest99> ilovefairuz, ok here you go: http://pastebin.com/QaeQY2JU
[00:58] <hiku> rallias: not good, please don't paste url links like that.
[00:58] <dapeamel> yeah th0r , sorry I mixed up kernel with module.. but yeah the modules..
[00:58] <EDinNY> hints on how  to get Nvidia driver to work?
[00:58] <ilovefairuz> guest99:  did you install using wubi ?
[00:58] <rallias> hiku: sorry it was just so tempting, and I couldn't find the one someone else did to me.
[00:58] <th0r> dapeamel: you can look at /etc/modules to get some idea of what modules are being used, but you can
[00:58] <Iceman_B> if I have an encrypted homedir, and I mount a seperate hdd in a folder thats IN my ecrypted homedir: will my data be encrypted ?
[00:58] <Iceman_B> and is this even possible?
[00:58] <guest99> ilovefairuz, No, a normal install
[00:59] <th0r> dapeamel: (oops) you can't just copy modules from ubuntu to gentoo
[00:59] <ilovefairuz> EDinNY: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[00:59] <DaLeach> sudo select-editor is not saving the result of my selection....
[00:59] <dapeamel> th0r, some can work also some maybe not work. I have read much about this but.. sounds kinda complicated..
[00:59] <DaLeach> afterwards when I do sudo visudo doesn't work..
[00:59] <EDinNY> ilovefairuz: thanks
[00:59] <th0r> dapeamel: you could also get a list of modules with 'lsmod' in ubuntu, and compare it to the one for gentoo
[00:59] <shane2peru> anyone got a link on building debs for Ubuntu?  I thought there use to be on at the ubuntu docs, but can't find it.
[01:00] <dapeamel> what is that kind of package thing like synaptic etc ubuntu and debian using? the term for that?
[01:00] <shane2peru> !build deb
[01:00] <dapeamel> sounds like a idea yeah
[01:00] <ilovefairuz> guest99: where's ubuntu installed ?
[01:00] <th0r> dapeamel: synaptic is a package manager
[01:00] <dapeamel> is the lsmod function installed on the livecd?.
[01:00] <th0r> dapeamel: yes, I think so
[01:00] <guest99> ilovefairuz, /dev/sdb
[01:00] <DaLeach> you'll know hwen you type in "lsmod"
[01:01] <DaLeach> :)
[01:01] <dapeamel> th0r, I mean u using like sudo apt-get install blab la bla but what is that kind of thing based on?.
[01:01] <dapeamel> a kind of system ubuntu/debian using.
[01:01] <guest99> ilovefairuz, specifically /dev/sdb2
[01:01] <th0r> dapeamel: ubuntu/debian are based on .deb packages, as opposed to redhat and mandriva which use rpm packages
[01:01] <DaLeach> dapeamel, there's a lot of different kinds / theories about package management... but it was invented by debian I guess..
[01:02] <DaLeach> dapeamel, one of the first (interesting one) is pkgsrc I had the guy who wrote it for my professor :)
[01:02] <dapeamel> yeah DaLeach true..
[01:02] <th0r> dapeamel: I don't think gentoo uses a package manager...if I remember correctly everything in gentoo is compiled from source
[01:02] <ilovefairuz> guest99: and grub is on sda or b?
[01:02] <dapeamel> cool DaLeach
[01:02] <dapeamel> no it doesnt th0r .
[01:02] <DaLeach> th0r, your'e right all from source, but something manages it I think :)
[01:02] <dapeamel> th0r, but its available but heard loads of things its bad..
[01:03] <dapeamel> messes up stuff..
[01:03] <elslunko> Having issue with GIMP and reading exif from TIFF files. Here's an example http://ubuntuone.com/p/CGr/
[01:03] <guest99> ilovefairuz, sda I think. It is the one with the boot flag. (it is also the first drive, the sdb drive was a upgrade)
[01:03] <elslunko> I can't read it with exif or eog either, but exiftool works fine
[01:03] <DaLeach> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#ebuilds
[01:04] <dapeamel> yeah ebuilds :)
[01:04] <Solow> How do I add stuff to the menu myself?
[01:05] <ilovefairuz> guest99: i suggest you reinstall it on sda if you're not sure (I also don't know if there are any compatibility issues with GPT disks) anyhow, are you booted into ubuntu or the live cd?
[01:05] <guest99> ilovefairuz, I have tryied that.
[01:05] <dapeamel> have someone experience of programming in like python etc?.
[01:05] <ilovefairuz> Solow: alacarte
[01:06] <ilovefairuz> dapeamel: ask in #python
[01:06] <ilovefairuz> guest99: using what commands?
[01:06] <dapeamel> ok ok thanks ilovefairuz
[01:06] <thune3> DaLeach: maybe try "sudo update-alternatives --config editor", EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables may also be interfering.
[01:06] <Solow> ilovefairuz: what? I'm using jolicloud, and I want to add a certain url as application myself, so i thought it was a ubuntu thing
[01:06] <ilovefairuz> Solow: this room is for ubuntu support only, seek help in their channel
[01:07] <guest99> ilovefairuz, (somehting like) grub-install --path-to-root=/media/ID-of-linux-root /dev/sda
[01:07] <Solow> ilovefairuz: It is based on ubuntu. it's just an ubuntu mod
[01:07] <nimbiotics> Can I assign a su pwd to a desktop user?? TIA!
[01:07] <ilovefairuz> Solow: still, this is not supported here
[01:08] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  that dosent make a lot of sence. What are you trying to do?
[01:08] <Solow> ilovefairuz: So, questions about ubuntu, even though i'm using the answers in jolicloud, are not allowed?
[01:08] <Daekdroom> Solow, precisely
[01:08] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  joliclound has iots own support forums and channels I recall.
[01:08] <ilovefairuz> nimbiotics: why su? add them to sudoers file: sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
[01:08] <Solow> Daekdroom: Why? I don't get it at all.
[01:08] <Daekdroom> Solow, I don't either, but that's how the channel works.
[01:09] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis: I want this user (my son) to be able to install games, for example, ut not admin the pc
[01:09] <nimbiotics> ilovefairuz: what is a sudoer?
[01:09] <Solow> Dr_Willis: yeah but, if I have a question about ubuntu, (linux) as it applies to jolicloud i cant ask them in here. unless i'm using the answers on ubuntu. that's a bit.... I dont know....
[01:09] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  we dont know what all changes joilcoud has done to their interface.. its very different in many ways.
[01:09] <ilovefairuz> !sudo | nimbiotics
[01:09] <Solow> Dr_Willis: I know, but it's a ubuntu question. I've found it.
[01:09] <Dr_Willis> Solow:  general ubuntu questions  go ahead and ask.. but You are asking about somthing specific to Jolicloud
[01:10] <Dr_Willis> These variants are getting more and more specilized. we cant keep up with them all.
[01:10] <ilovefairuz> nimbiotics: use the command i've given you and read the file that shows up
[01:11] <nimbiotics> ilovefairuz, Dr_Willis: Thanks!!!
[01:11] <EddieV113> so i guess i can't resize this ubuntu partition while its running?
[01:11] <dapeamel> have someone experience of cedega?.
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> EddieV113:  thats not a good idea.
[01:12] <ilovefairuz> Solow: I've assumed you were referring to gnome applications menu and I've given you the name of the application to edit it: alacarte, how are we supposed to know what kind of menus does jolicloud use?
[01:12] <Jake2|cfl> I have 8 old kernals in 8.04 (show for selection during boot). How do I get rid of 4 of them?
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> dapeamel:  rebranded wine :) with some tweaks..  most of the wine app database tips may apply. and they have their own forums/support channels alsio,.
[01:12] <Solow> ilovefairuz: I didnt know that was an application.
[01:12] <EddieV113> i don't have a windows program for resizing paritions
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> EddieV113:  use a gparted live cd.
[01:12] <ilovefairuz> guest99: actually --root is just the mount point for the root directory
[01:12] <Solow> I'd like to know however, how I can add a .png image as icon.
[01:12] <EddieV113> where do i get one of those?
[01:12] <DaLeach> thune3, going to try thanks!
[01:13] <Dr_Willis> EddieV113:  the internet.
[01:13] <dapeamel> I see Dr_Willis I used wine for a long time but rly dont like it.. much erros u have to solve but its works then but. what about cedega?.
[01:13] <ilovefairuz> EddieV113: use ubuntu live cd or ask in ##windows if you insist
[01:13] <guest99> ilovefairuz, yes I used the ID because that's how the live cd auto mounts it
[01:13] <Dr_Willis> dapeamel:  if you think cedega is 'not' wine you  confused.. cededa is Wine with a bit of a fancier interface and some tweaks.
[01:13] <dapeamel> Dr_Willis, cedega looks like more proffesional ..
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> dapeamel:  its also a comercial product last i checked.
[01:14] <dapeamel> I see
[01:14] <ilovefairuz> guest99: have you tried dropping to grub shell and tinkering in how to boot it manually?
[01:14] <dapeamel> I thinking on a buy it but rly dont know what it costs :)
[01:14] <guest99> ilovefairuz, a bit but nothing I did worked
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> dapeamel:  time to check its homepage.. You dont hear much about Cedega much these days.
[01:15] <DMzda2> wow
[01:15] <DMzda2> I hate this
[01:15] <dapeamel> I check it now :)
[01:15] <ilovefairuz> guest99: if you have another machine, join irc from there and drop to the shell
[01:15] <hiexpo> how it goes Dr_Willis
[01:15] <guest99> ilovefairuz, I already am, give me a minute to get to shell
[01:16] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  been testing out KVirc today. :) going.. oddly... its a bit different then what im used to.
[01:17] <Jake2|cfl> I have 8 old kernals in 8.04 (show for selection during boot). How do I get rid of 4 of them?
[01:17] <ZykoticK9> Jake2|cfl, uninstall them
[01:17] <Jake2|cfl> how
[01:17] <guest99> ilovefairuz, ok I am at the shell
[01:17] <ilovefairuz> guest99: what does 'ls' say?
[01:18] <guest99> ilovefairuz, hd0 1 1,2 1,1 fd0
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> Jake2|cfl:   If you have to ask 'how' it may be best to just leave them there. :)  You use the package manager and remove the ones you dont need.
[01:19] <Jake2|cfl> Dr_Willis: I didn't know the pkg manager listed kernels.  But thanks for the semi put down.
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> Jake2|cfl:  they are pacakges.. they are listed in synaptic.. every package is..
[01:19] <ZykoticK9> Jake2|cfl, "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" will show currently installed
[01:19] <Jake2|cfl> ok
[01:19] <formey> ilovefairuz: I just looked up my mainboard and it turns out i don't have the option to boot to usb, not even with a bios flash :-(  I'm going to run a check and burn another CD and see how it goes
[01:19] <hiexpo> i here that Dr_Willis  ya that is different i agree i  tried it also tough one
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> Jake2|cfl:  be SURE to not remove the one you are using...
[01:19] <ilovefairuz> guest99: set root=(hd0,0)
[01:20] <guest99> ilovefairuz, done
[01:20] <Jake2|cfl> Dr_Willis:  :)  that would be fun
[01:20] <ilovefairuz> guest99: chainloader +1
[01:20] <ZykoticK9> Jake2|cfl, it's also best to leave 2 at all time, current and a known working.
[01:20] <guest99> ilovefairuz, error: no such partition
[01:21] <ilovefairuz> guest99: set root=(hd0) and try again
[01:21] <Jake2|cfl> zykes-: i plan to leave 4
[01:21] <guest99> ilovefairuz, worked that time
[01:21] <ilovefairuz> guest99: windows now booting?
[01:22] <Jake2|cfl> ZykoticK9: not zykes...i plan to leave 4
[01:22] <guest99> ilovefairuz, nope it just goes back to grub when i run boot
[01:22] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis,  you have a messanger
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  i dont use any IM clients
[01:23] <ilovefairuz> Guest99: what was the full listing when you did ls? not abbreviated
[01:23] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis,  oh ok
[01:24] <guest99> ilovefairuz, (hd0) (hd1) (hd1,2) (hd1,1) (fd0)
[01:24] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis,  need to ask you something but wanna keep it outta xchat
[01:24] <Buuntu> how do I view clamav results?
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  im not even ssure how to do MSg's in kvirc. :)
[01:25] <Buuntu> I just ran it and all it printed was the summary, i want to know what files were infected
[01:25] <ilovefairuz> guest99: ok, strange, i suggest you fix windows mbr and try installing grub on sdb2 and chainload to sda for windows
[01:25] <hiexpo> Buuntu,  i should tell you results whendone
[01:25] <hiexpo> ^it
[01:25] <Buuntu> hiexpo, it did, the summary
[01:25] <guest99> ilovefairuz, I'll give it a try
[01:26] <Buuntu> hiexpo, I want to see the infected files though, so I can do something about them
[01:26] <hiexpo> Buuntu,  you have infected files in ubuntu /
[01:26] <Buuntu> hiexpo, there's an option to clamscan for it to only print the infected files but that would mean I'd have to run the whole thing again
[01:26] <Buuntu> hiexpo, I'm scanning windows ^^
[01:26] <ilovefairuz> guest99: correction: install grub on just sdb/hd1 (don't specify a partition)
[01:27] <hiexpo> Buuntu,  ok thought so windows  delete em
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> I use clamav to scan my windows drives also. :) handy tool.
[01:27] <Buuntu> hiexpo, ?  I can't see the files
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> brb..
[01:27] <Buuntu> hiexpo, that's the problem... the summary only displays how many files it found that were infected
[01:27] <Buuntu> hiexpo, not where they are
[01:29] <hiexpo> Buuntu,  you running live distro to check ?
[01:29] <Buuntu> hiexpo, no, it's installed on a partition
[01:29] <dpn`> hey.. the mysql-server package seems to be blocking when apt tries to update it.. to kill it I have to manually kill all the associated dpkg processes.  I cant really install anything on my box until this is sorted :\
[01:30] <ilovefairuz> dpn`: why kill dpkg processes? kill it alone!
[01:30] <ilovefairuz> dpn`: pkill -KILL mysqld
[01:30] <dpn`> ilovefairuz, hmm, i think i tried that.. let's see
[01:31] <hiexpo> Buuntu,  ok check this out run live cd  update it install clamav  latest and  than scan windows partion i will get u a link from pixie how to ok

[01:31] <ilovefairuz> !details | sigtau
[01:32] <dpn`> ilovefairuz, it's not running.
[01:32] <ilovefairuz> dpn`: ps aux | grep mysql
[01:32] <sigtau> Taking that as a "Yes, but don't ask to ask."   I'm trying to install Steam onto Wine.  Had it working through PlayOnLinux beforehand, but now it errors out with the message in the console (which I've placed in this pastebin): http://pastebin.ca/1914832
[01:33] <dpn`> ilovefairuz, yes, all that is listed there is the block aptitude process which is waiting for something to happen with hte mysql package
[01:33] <DJIndy> Hey, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit in KVM on an Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit OS. The install is at 94% but its taken about 15 hours to get here. Is this abnormal? On a Dell Inspiron 15 with Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz and 2 Gb of RAM?
[01:33] <sigtau> Or rather, I had to re-install it straight through Wine due to PoL failing hard.
[01:33] <ilovefairuz> dpn`: pastebin
[01:33] <marcelo> hola ubuntu español es aca no

[01:35] <ilovefairuz> dpn`: try tricking it: sudo service mysql start; sudo service mysql stop
[01:35] <sigtau> I take it my problem is one-of-a-kind?
[01:36] <ilovefairuz> !patience | sigtau, I'm sure a few folks here have used steam

[01:41] <biodegabriel> Hey all, n00b question: How would I edit my .bashrc file so that I don't have to keep doing "source '/usr/local/lib/rvm" everytime I log in?
[01:41] <barfster> I have upgraded to 8.10
[01:41] <barfster> But how can I upgrade to 10.04?
[01:41] <ilovefairuz> biodegabriel: nano .bashrc and add whatever you like
[01:42] <biodegabriel> ilovefairuz, so I can just add "source '/usr/local/lib/rvm" to my .bashrc? and it'll execute everytime i log in?
[01:42] <barfster> I just tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended)
[01:42] <Tukeke> Yankee GO HOME !!!
[01:42] <epinky> biodegabriel: also I'd recommend editing /etc/rc.local
[01:42] <ilovefairuz> barfster: add ". /path/to/file"
[01:42] <hiexpo> hmm barfster
[01:42] <Marttin> I remember I met a Austrian girl here, the day 10.04 was released, but I cant remember her name
[01:42] <barfster> ilovefairuz: ?
[01:43] <ilovefairuz> barfster: epinky's advice is better for early system initialization
[01:43] <barfster> I am trying to upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04
[01:44] <barfster> Marttin: Luci[d]?
[01:44] <ThomasB2k> Greetings everyone
[01:44] <Marttin> hmmm no barfster
[01:44] <guest99> ilovefairuz, ok I fixedmbr now I'm trying to install grub to /dev/sdb but it complains that "this GPT partition has no BIOS boot partition embedding won't be possible!"
[01:44] <epinky> barfster: ilovefairuz I think that message was for biodegabriel
[01:45] <dpn`> ilovefairuz, thanks for your help. I appreciate it :)   Seems that mysql won't stop. I've started it, but there is no mysql process running.  Should I look in the upstart log?
[01:45] <dpn`> ilovefairuz, clarification.. I assume pkg is stopping mysql to update it.. but that is blocking. probably because it isn't starting properly
[01:45] <ilovefairuz> guest99: ah, haven't used a GPT before so as I said I'm not sure about its compatibility with grub
[01:46] <ilovefairuz> dpn`: in /var/log/messages?
[01:47] <ilovefairuz> dpn`: perhaps it spews the error preventing it from starting
[01:47] <dpn`> ilovefairuz, nothing about mysql in messages..
[01:47] <LorgonJortle> Hello, everone.
[01:48] <DaLeach> thune3: I googled that command update-alternatives and got it it was: sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[01:48] <DaLeach> thune3: thanks
[01:48] <ilovefairuz> dpn`: try killing the "stop" process? 8692  .. will probably give a warning about the return value but you won't be killing all dkpg
[01:48] <ilovefairuz> !hi | LorgonJortle
[01:48] <LorgonJortle> I've installed VanBasco's midi (and karaoke) player via WINE, and when I open a midi file to play, I don't hear anything. I can play midi files natively in Linux. How do I map it in WINE?
[01:48] <dpn`> ilovefairuz, good idea.. thanks
[01:48] <thune3> DaLeach: hmmm, that's the exact command i gave you.
[01:50] <epinky> dpn`: what do /var/log/mysql.* say?
[01:50] <ilovefairuz> LorgonJortle: http://wiki.winehq.org/MIDI
[01:50] <LorgonJortle> Moreover, if I can't find help getting midi in WINE to work, are there any tools in Ubuntu that show a keyboard and the keys that midi is playing?
[01:51] <DaLeach> thune3: lol, I must have completely goofed when I was typing that in :( you are the man!
[01:51] <DaLeach> thune3: anyway, definitely didn't know that existed so the prize would have gone to you anyway :)

[01:53] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis,  - what i was gonna say was that a lot of backtrack users help here in Ubuntu and they are all mt associates :)  so there is a specific helper that is smarter than all of us :) let them have the channel and ubuntu

[01:54] <ilovefairuz> LorgonJortle: there's actually used another one i've used, can't recall the name...
[01:55] <keldrum> Is there a command which list the dates/time of any system boots that have occurred in the last n days? If not, is there a specific log file I could search which might list that info?
[01:55] <ilovefairuz> used to be *

[01:56] <LorgonJortle> ilovefairuz: Should I run jackd with realtime priorities?
[01:57] <dpn`> ilovefairuz, epinky nothing in the mysql logs. killing the start/stop process during upgrade gets past the package at least.. thanks for all the help

[02:00] <ilovefairuz> LorgonJortle: do you have timidity installed and running?
[02:00] <LorgonJortle> But VMPK doesn't wanna make noise either.
[02:00] <LorgonJortle> ilovefairuz: Not intentionally. Should ?
[02:00] <LorgonJortle> Should I?*
[02:00] <ilovefairuz> LorgonJortle: sure, you need a soft synth if your card has no midi ports
[02:01] <lov255> Can I ask for help when someone has the chance?
[02:01] <LorgonJortle> Ok, I'll get it then

[02:12] <nowimproved> How do I get into the default gnome mode for ubuntu.
[02:12] <luckybunny> I seem to lack double click and right clicks
[02:12] <dpn`> epinky, i think i used apt-get

[02:16] <MaRk-I> maya: yw
[02:16]  * BaseBallBoy knows what terminal is :/
[02:17] <LorgonJortle> I got it to work in WINE and everything... just mapped it to timidity. Thanks a ton, ilovefairuz.
[02:17] <meeper> c|oneman: yeah, vms are much easier to reset to a known state than servers. also nothing preventing you from taking the vm and tossing it on to a remote server.
[02:17] <ilovefairuz> LorgonJortle: you're welcome
[02:17] <Aemaeth> virtualbox works just great for me for virtualmachine stuff

[02:19] <biodegabriel> Hey all, does anyone know why "apt-get upgrade" downloads different things depending on which mirror I'm using?
[02:19] <kthomas_vh> polkitd using most of memory, ???
[02:19] <ilovefairuz> meeper: check http://www.turnkeylinux.org/
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> heh.. it  got stuck with the scrollbar at the top... :) silly kvirc.
[02:20] <nimbiotics> what is a good read on ubuntu security & networking?
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  most 'linux' security books and sites will also apply to ubuntu.
[02:20] <ilovefairuz> biodegabriel: you need to run sudo apt-get update before upgrading and to generally stick to one mirror
[02:20] <AndyGraybeal> is there a log of all sudo / root actions?
[02:20] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis: thanks
[02:21] <dpn`> epinky, its there.. i can run it from the command line
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> AndyGraybeal:  i belive loggins sudo stuff is a common feature of sudo. BUt im not sure how much logging is enabled by default.
[02:21] <dpn`> epinky, it seems to be a problem with upstart... up start thinks it is never starting
[02:21] <AndyGraybeal> thank you Dr_Willis.
[02:21] <biodegabriel> ilovefairuz, i'm doing it as root. is that bad? also, my default mirrors are the ubuntu.com ones and they were CRAWLING, so i tried some other ones, but each time i try a new mirror, i get different updates/upgrades. (i'm working from fresh installs everytime.) so it's kinda freakin me out
[02:22] <lov255> Sorry for the delay the information you requested is posted
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> sudo adds a log entry of the command(s) run (in /var/log/auth.log).
[02:22] <bronchmx> hi, i've downloaded jdk from sun's site, it is a bin file. i've installed it, but it doesn't show up when i do update-alternatives --config java
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> AndyGraybeal:  there ya go. :)   sudo adds a log entry of the command(s) run (in /var/log/auth.log).
[02:22] <AndyGraybeal> Dr_Willis: , thank you
[02:22] <bronchmx> how can i choose it?
[02:22] <ilovefairuz> biodegabriel: not all mirrors are synced up to the latest updates at any given time, that's why you should generally stick to only one mirror
[02:22] <nimbiotics> I created a folder  a couple of hours ago and the folder and the files i put in there showed a little white on red X on their icons. I thought it probably had to do with ubuntu one but now its only the folder that has the X. What does that X mean?? TIA!
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> AndyGraybeal:  from the following URL --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:23] <hiexpo> :)
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  ownsership, or permissions are set to some mode and its showing that in the icon 'feedback'
[02:23] <ilovefairuz> biodegabriel: and besides, all packages are cryptographically signed so don't worry much about someone messing with them
[02:23] <AndyGraybeal> Dr_Willis: , awesome thanks, reading now.
[02:23] <bronchmx> any help would be appreciated
[02:24] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis: hmm dont know what you mean :/

[02:24] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  look at the permissions on the files via 'ls -l'  and see what they aew set to.
[02:24] <bronchmx> openjdk is extremely i would like to install original java
[02:24] <bronchmx> extremely slow
[02:25] <Meren> Thanks in advance for any assistance. I just installed 10.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1720 and am now getting no network connection. nm-tool shows wlan0 disconnected with driver b43, device eth0 shows unavailable with driver b44.
[02:25] <lov255> ilovefairuz: I posted the info you wanted
[02:25] <nowimproved> How do I launch samba, the shared files thing, when I'm not in gnome

[02:26] <Dr_Willis> !permissions | nimbiotics
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  or the 'owner/group' is not your current user.
[02:28] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis: permissions are the same for all folders in same location, will check ownership
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  ls -l should of shown that also
[02:28] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis: i'm the owner ..
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  change the modes.. see if X goes away. I never rweally pay attention to the icon/overlays
[02:29] <vhenry93> question about umask - concept I'm just not getting. what is umask for permissions: rw-r-----, essentially rw for owner, read for group and none for other?
[02:30] <RandyRKelly> hello question how can i run a iso on a usb drive?
[02:30] <Aemaeth> how would i prepend something to a string coming out of a text file so it can be inserted into curl?
[02:30] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis: still there...
[02:31] <matrixblue> RandyRKelly: What do you mean by run an iso?
[02:31] <Aemaeth> RandyRKelly, unetbootin might be what you're looking for
[02:31] <dpn`> RandyRKelly, http://thomer.com/howtos/mount_loopback.html
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> nimbiotics:  hit F5 in nautilus to refresh the directory?
[02:31] <RandyRKelly> i have  another linux on  pc but dont wanna waste a disk
[02:31] <dpn`> RandyRKelly, just check the mount location to something else
[02:32] <punkmexic> how can i prevent that totem makes a weird noise when starting an mp3?
[02:32] <Aemaeth> RandyRKelly, if you mean make a bootable pendrive get unetbootin it will let you install just about any distro iso on to a usb
[02:32] <punkmexic> like it repeat the first second
[02:32] <matrixblue> RandyRKelly: So you want to create a LiveCD on a Usb-Stick?
[02:33] <matrixblue> Aemaeth: how do you want to parse the string?
[02:33] <RandyRKelly> pretty much matrixblue
[02:34] <matrixblue> RandyRKelly: Use unetbootin like Aemaeth said
[02:34] <RandyRKelly> ok
[02:34] <RandyRKelly>  googling it now
[02:34] <Aemaeth> matrixblue, well, it's coming in after the href information is being stripped, so i'm taking it out of a txt document and i want to add an url like http://example.com/res/ so that the rest of the information will fill out the url to the right page and then i can use a wget command to download said completed link
[02:34] <ubunt1> Hello. I need to install a driver from HP and I am having trouble with the "cd" command. When I type "cd desktop", as I am told by the HP page, it says there is no such directory. Why is that?
[02:34] <vhenry93> anyone have any info on the umask question?
[02:34] <Aemaeth> RandyRKelly, i think it's in apt/synaptic
[02:34] <lov255> Is anyone still working on my quest?
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  Linux Is CaSe SeneSiTiVe
[02:35] <RandyRKelly> ok
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  Desktop is not the same as 'desktop'
[02:35] <ubunt1> Dr_Willis: I tried that.
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  then you did somthing fundamentally wrong.
[02:35] <ubunt1> Dr_Willis: That's helpful.
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  use the Tab key to complete filenames also.
[02:36] <Aemaeth> matrixblue, i have a short script that i am working on to achieve this, so far it's going pretty good, just need to know how to combine that information
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1: You may want to spend an hr learning shell basics.  cd ~/Desktop goes to the Desktop dir in the users Home. You May be in some other dirctrory also. use ls and pwd to see where you are at.
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  rember the 'tab' key - it will become your best friend.
[02:36] <matrixblue> Aemaeth: You would normally use Pipes to get info from one command to another. eg firstcommand | script | secondcommand
[02:37] <ubunt1> Dr_Willis: I just opened the terminal. I don't think I'm in any directory...
[02:37] <lov255> Dr_Willis: I am not sure if ilovefair is helping or?  But I had a question and he told me to post  lshw -c network - which I put on the website - my question is about installing the WUSB100 into Ubuntu 10.04
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  see  the 'pwd' command to See where you are at.. use 'ls' to see what files/dirs are there
[02:37] <Aemaeth> i'm piping curl [the site] | grep [expression to only look at href info] | sed [expression to remove href data leaving url inside] > doc
[02:38] <blime> how do i remove a file named \
[02:38] <ubunt1> Dr_Willis: Just figured it out. It's because my directory address are in portuguese. I figured it out because of your tab tip. Thanks!
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> lov255:  a usb wireless network gizmo? ive never used one
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> blime:  'rm -- \funnyname'
[02:38] <matrixblue> Aemaeth: that should work once your expressions produce what you want
[02:38] <matrixblue> blime rm \\
[02:38] <blime> Dr_Willis: whew, thanks!
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> blime: or perhaops rm '\whatever'
[02:39] <jamesw> hi all
[02:39] <RandyRKelly> thanks guys

[02:39] <|enigma|> HI Guys when I try to load vmware it always pops up saying that 3D graphic card is disable or not supported but I'm pretty sure 3D is there. BTW I'm using Kubuntu 10.04
[02:39] <RandyRKelly> now is there away i can backup my current os to usb ?
[02:39] <jamesw> ubuntu 10 - i am having some really difficult problem for me with focus issues - i can only click some things, it seems like focus is sticking on certain objects, very weird - i ran mousetweaks as suggested by some forum post and it helped i think, but still not fixed and i can't right click
[02:40] <Aemaeth> and so some of the strings in doc are "res/[filename]" without the original site, how would i get a full http code added on?   i guess just a manual "http://example.com" + doc?
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> |enigma|:  ive noticed a few other apps that say i dont have 3d support enabled.. when infact i do.. bug with how the programs determine 3d or not I guess.
[02:40] <jamesw> i tried in icewm even and the problem is identical
[02:40] <ilovefairuz> lov255: where's the pastebin url ?
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> jamesw:  try a new mouse? try it in a live cd?
[02:41]  * c|oneman shivers at the assumptions vmware easyinstall must make
[02:41] <lov255> ilovefairuz I pasted it a while ago, I can repaste
[02:41] <matrixblue> RandyRKelly: What exactly do you want to backup? Normally backing up your home directory is enough for most users. Also keep in mind that your USB drive linux won't be persistent meaning files won't be saved once you reboot
[02:41] <ilovefairuz> !paste | love255
[02:41] <jamesw> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468282 like this
[02:41] <lov255> ilovefairuz: just pasted again
[02:41] <Aemaeth> lov255, use pastebin, if you paste multiple lines into irc you will be warned and booted
[02:41] <jamesw> i did try other mouse and had identical problem (i am using logitech and i tested with microsoft)
[02:42] <|enigma|> Dr_Wills usually vmware is pretty strong and I frankly guess its something to do with OS
[02:42] <lov255> paste.ubuntu.com/476209
[02:42] <ilovefairuz> lov255: copy and paste the address of the page here
[02:42] <ilovefairuz> lov255: ok will check
[02:42] <jamesw> the problem is also evident even when navigating icons on the desktop, it seems to freeze up intermittently
[02:42] <lov255> http://paste.ubuntu.com/476209
[02:42] <|enigma|> Dr_Wills how do I know in Ubuntu I do have 3D enable or not
[02:42] <joe___> I cannot add a user with a username with a "." in it (for example: "name.surname"). adduser command says something about a NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM} configuration variable. Where can I change it, please? And is there a reason because the "." character is not permitted? thanks in advance
[02:42] <matrixblue> Aemaeth: Sounds like you need to check the options in curl to make give the full path in links
[02:42] <lov255> ilovefairuz: thanks
[02:43] <lov255> BTW I did not mean to paste into the IRC room before
[02:43] <RandyRKelly> i can save to my seconf hd  i just wanna backup in case i dont like my change matrixblue

[02:44] <i2c> how can I share files between my linux laptop and my windows desktop? they're both on my lan
[02:44] <ilovefairuz> !samba | i2c
[02:44] <jamesw> i2c: folder properties, shared folder
[02:44] <matrixblue> RandyRKelly: use rsync -Pav $HOME /media/"locationofHD"
[02:45] <RandyRKelly> what that do? matrixblue
[02:45] <lov255_> ilovefairuz: I am getting "etho   Interface dosen't support scanning."
[02:45] <|enigma|> ZykoticK9 direct rendering is YES
[02:45] <Aemaeth> matrixblue, full path? but if i'm extracting this data from source it's clear that most designers use href shortcuts so they don't type the beginning of the url a billion times, so really i'm trying to reverse this process
[02:45] <ubunt1> How do I install a software from a .tar.bz2 file?
[02:45] <matrixblue> RandyRKelly: It backs up your home directory to your hard drive
[02:45] <RandyRKelly> ok
[02:45] <|enigma|> then I think I have to bug vmware 0_o
[02:45] <Aemaeth> i'll find something though
[02:45] <ilovefairuz> lov255_: pastebin: iwconfig
[02:46] <mynewnick> ubunt1: you have to first extract from the zipped archive
[02:46] <lov255_> two small lines want to post here?
[02:47] <ubunt1> mynewnick: OK. Will do.
[02:47] <joe___> i2c: read the guide they give you, anyways the two easier options are: 1) share a folder on your windows computer (giving permission to write, if needed) and then access it from your linux one, using a samba client (a smb://window.computer.ip.address should just work)
[02:47] <Thqrmt> i'm trying to kill the startup disk maker, how would i do that in the terminal?
[02:47] <matrixblue> Aemaeth: I've never used curl but a similar applications parsed the hyperlinks to be absolute paths
[02:47] <joe___> i2c: 2) start an SSH server on your linux computer, and access it from windows with a sFTP client (FTP over ssh) like Filezilla
[02:47] <ilovefairuz> lov255_: no, do this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit, and then: iwconfig | pastebinit -
[02:48] <mynewnick> ubunt1: right click and select "extract here"

[02:49] <ilovefairuz> lov255_: do you remember what have you modified during your previous attempts to fix it?
[02:49] <mynewnick> ubunt1: open up a terminal (under applications->accessories->terminal)
[02:49] <Thqrmt> whats alt f2 supposed to do I can't hit f2 or it turns off my wireless card ilovefairuz
[02:49] <ubunt1> mynewnick: Done.
[02:50] <Aemaeth> matrixblue, can you give me an example of a program like that?  maybe wget? i don't know too many command line net accessable programs
[02:50] <mynewnick> ubunt1: did you downlod to the desktop?
[02:50] <ilovefairuz> Thqrmt: ok type xkill in a terminal and click on the app window
[02:50] <ubunt1> Yes.

[02:54] <ubunt1> mynewnick: It says that no file was found "Stop".
[02:54] <ZykoticK9> mynewnick, you are assuming that ubunt1 downloaded source code - it might not be, could be binary
[02:54] <mynewnick> ubunt1: ok, type "ls" and post the output on pastebin.com
[02:54] <bonhoffer> it doesn't look like my tasks in crontab are running. can i troubleshoot?
[02:54] <c|oneman> I just installed ubuntu server. Now I did 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'. Anything wrong with doing this?
[02:55] <joe___> brandon420: have you got an nVidia graphic card, and maybe a quite new one?
[02:55] <bonhoffer> or enable crontab in some way
[02:55] <matrixblue> Aemaeth: hope you get sorted out. Later
[02:55] <ubunt1> !pastebin
[02:55] <ilovefairuz> lov255: the thing is: the wireless interface is virtually no present, as if it doesn't exist
[02:55] <ZykoticK9> c|oneman, why bother with server if you're adding a GUI?  MUCH easier to install desktop and add services - just sayin'
[02:55] <brandon420> Joe__,  i have the nvidia 8400gs 512 mb
[02:55] <c|oneman> I dunno what im doing :/
[02:56] <bonhoffer> does /etc/crontab need to be enabled in ubuntu?
[02:56] <ubunt1> mynewnick: http://paste.ubuntu.com/476215/
[02:56] <Aemaeth> if you wanted a "server" with a gui, you could have probably went with xubuntu, but to each their own
[02:56] <joe___> brandon420: check if it supports vdpau, vdpau is great and works on mplayer.. it makes decode the video directly in the graphic card, works perfectly with my nvidia G 220
[02:56] <th0r> bonhoffer: you just need to enter jobs
[02:56] <bonhoffer> th0r: enter jobs?

[02:57] <mynewnick> ubunt1: try "./game_launcher"
[02:57] <th0r> bonhoffer: you just need to define jobs in crontab....there is nothing to enable

[02:58] <ubunt1> zyjotick9: Thanks, but I also want to learn how to do this for future packages.
[02:58] <Aemaeth> RandyRKelly, that looks like they made their bottom taskbar disappear and are using docky
[02:58] <TELL0> if you want a server with ui, better use lubuntu
[02:58] <th0r>  bonhofferthat is the system crontab, you should put your jobs in your own crontab
[02:58] <Aemaeth> RandyRKelly, i prefer the awn dock which can also be placed on the bottom, check synaptic for different docks and get a feel for what you like
[02:58] <RandyRKelly> so how can i do that
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> !dock
[02:58] <joe___> ilovefairuz: oh, so a pastebin command does exist! nice... I used to use a python script I did long time ago
[02:58] <bryanl> is it possible to install a 10.4 guest in a 9.10 kvm host?
[02:58] <lov255> ilovefairuz: http://pastbin.com/pirNXeeV
[02:58] <mynewnick> ubunt1: the method is basically, what i described. here is an article for reference: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html
[02:58] <c|oneman> whats the difference between installing server apps on ubuntu desktop and installing desktop gui's on ubuntu server?
[02:58] <Aemaeth> install the dock through synaptic set it up, rmove the bottom bar from view
[02:59] <ilovefairuz> joe___: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[02:59] <thune3> c|oneman: if you want the full ubuntu desktop with all the trimmings, that's the package to install. (You might have saved yourself from downloading 300MB worth of updates)
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> c|oneman:  not a hole lot.. but if you want a desktop machine.. its better to start with  a Deskjtop install and then install the services you need.
[02:59] <mynewnick> ubunt1: this is slightly different because it looks to be compiled already, I thought you wanted to build from source
[02:59] <joe___> ilovefairuz: yeah, found it, thanks
[02:59] <Aemaeth> RandyRKelly, also look at your compiz settings if you have it, it makes for pretty desktops
[02:59] <RandyRKelly> umm
[02:59] <bonhoffer> th0r: where is my own crontab -- and why doesn't the system crontab work?
[02:59] <RandyRKelly> were i see that at?
[02:59] <Eqlzer> anyone know a good batch image resizer?
[02:59] <ubunt1> mynewnick: OK... Well... Thanks.
[02:59] <RandyRKelly> Aemaeth, ?
[02:59] <ZykoticK9> Eqlzer, imagemagick
[02:59] <c|oneman> what advantages the 'server' version have, with exception of being more lightweight due to lacking a gui?
[03:00] <Aemaeth> system > admin > synaptic    do a search for docky
[03:00] <joe___> ilovefairuz: uh! it is done in python... maybe they stole my old utility! ahahah don't think so anyways
[03:00] <Eqlzer> thanks zykotic
[03:00] <th0r> bonhoffer: what makes you think the system crontab doesn't work?
[03:00] <ZykoticK9> c|oneman, server uses PAE kernel by default -- use more then 4GB memory on 32bit systems...
[03:00] <bonhoffer> the crontab i posted isn't backing up the website
[03:00] <ilovefairuz> lov255: is it a usb card?
[03:01] <ilovefairuz> lov255: there's no trace of any internal wireless network cards!
[03:01] <lov255> ilovefairuz: yeah - looks like a thumb drive...small portable wireless adapter to connection 802.11
[03:01] <ilovefairuz> lov255: lsusb | pastebinit -
[03:02] <RandyRKelly> what i use to find that
[03:02] <th0r> bonhoffer: well, first I suspect your passing parameters in the cron job is messing things up. Create a script that passes all that so you are using a one word command, or put the command in quotes
[03:02] <bonhoffer> th0r: got it
[03:02] <bonhoffer> th0r: thanks
[03:03] <th0r> and you shouldn't run such things as root. As a user define that cron job and it will run automatically. I always kept a file called crontab.txt in my user dir, and loaded it with 'crontab -l'
[03:03] <lov255> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/hRuuAAWu

[04:13] <ilovefairuz> olskolirc: run it using: firefox -safe-mode     and see if it still crashes, if not, then one of your add ons or plugins is doing it

I just want to be able to turn the power on, let it boot up, sit at another computer and log into via ssh and do my stuff.    Is there a way to automajically have the network up and ready to log into remotely?
[04:20] <oly562> thanks
[04:20] <ubuntu> where are stored the files when i download from internet using a live cd of ubuntu?
[04:21] <abhijit> ubuntu, ram
[04:21] <ilovefairuz> ubuntu: probably ~/Downloads
[04:21] <sacarlson> olskolirc: try that safe mode first.  I don't here anyone else complain about firefox it must be one of your plugins
[04:21] <abhijit> :-o
[04:21] <ubuntu> ok
[04:21] <olskolirc> it still crashed in safe mode sacarlson
[04:21] <olskolirc> I need to find an old version of firefox
[04:21] <annie> sacarlson: I'm to the point where I'm making keys... I notice that there is geographical info in the file... is this important for it to reflect her location overseas?
[04:22] <ubuntu> to switch in a downloads folder using terminal what shoul i write?
[04:22] <ilovefairuz> olskolirc: don't use older versions, they are vulnerable, try google chrome
[04:22] <brandonj> ubuntu: 'cd ~/Downloads'
[04:22] <ilovefairuz> ubuntu: try: cd ~/Downloads
[04:23] <EricInBNE> what program to use to rip a dvd in ubuntu to eg. mp4
[04:23] <sacarlson> olskolirc: oh ok well then try the 3.6.8 direct from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html
[04:23] <dancrew32> is there any way to bulk install fonts?
[04:24] <olskolirc> 3.6.8 is the one I don't want its freezing sacarlson
[04:24] <ilovefairuz> dancrew32: sudo apt-get install ttf-*
[04:25] <sacarlson> olskolirc: but your running the ubuntu version it's not exactly the same but I do run the 3.6.9pre version you want to try that?  it works for me
[04:25] <abhijit> anyone using google desktop here?
[04:25] <map7> has anyone here got experience with setting up neatx or freenx?
[04:25] <olskolirc> yes ill try that sacarlson

[04:26] <annie> Would running a simple ssh/webproxy be more successful if I ran Ubuntu Server?
[04:26] <ilovefairuz> annie: nope
[04:26] <annie> ilovefairuz: dang
[04:27] <ilovefairuz> annie: same packages, same everything
[04:28] <ilovefairuz> annie: squid is a beast, google "ssh web proxy" there are far simpler solutions
[04:28] <abhijit> no one uses. :(
[04:29] <sacarlson> olskolirc: I can't find where i got mine i guess cause they have newer now http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-4.0b4pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
[04:29] <sacarlson> olskolirc: bleeding edge s**t
[04:30] <olskolirc> oh i have the beta 4 sacarlson its doing the same thing freezing and crashing
[04:31] <annie> ilovefairuz: I've followed tutorials and advice from this room. My ssh tunnel is working "ssh -D 8080 user@host -p 8282" but firefox won't use the proxy "localhost port 8282"
[04:31] <compromised> annie: should you be using port 8080?
[04:32] <compromised> annie: you have a wrong understanding.
[04:32] <sacarlson>  annie: geographical stuf not a big deal in your case that's for when you register you keys
[04:32] <annie> compromised: I can try, I did configure ssh on the server to listen to port 8282, and the tunnel is working...
[04:32] <annie> sacarlson: cool... ty

[04:50] <lov2555> sacarlson: I ended up geting the Samba also I thought the message was sent to me, is it worth anything for me to keep it?

[05:05] <ShapeShifter499> tensorpudding: so ....
[05:06] <tensorpudding> Wait
[05:06] <tensorpudding> nevermind
[05:06] <tensorpudding> I just ran it
[05:06] <nascent> Aemaeth: you use it in a while loop
[05:06] <tensorpudding> it doesn't say 'ok' afterwards?
[05:06] <tensorpudding> and it looks like it is waiting for your output?
[05:06] <raitoningu> also, I need help resizing my screen... Ubuntu doesn't seem to want to detect the 1024x720
[05:07] <ShapeShifter499> tensorpudding: http://pastebin.com/Bq3VPus5
[05:07] <ShapeShifter499> tensorpudding: of?
[05:07] <nascent> Aemaeth: like this: while read line;do echo http://example/$line;done
[05:07] <ilovefairuz> lov2555: ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc | pastebinit -
[05:07] <tensorpudding> if it hasn't returned to the prompt
[05:07] <tensorpudding> it's probably still decompressing
[05:07] <Aemaeth> i see
[05:07] <Aemaeth> kk, trying that now
[05:08] <ShapeShifter499> tensorpudding: but I don't want to decompress, I want to test and make sure it worked
[05:08] <Aemaeth> i'm not good with variables, i can make $anything?
[05:08] <tensorpudding> -t performs a "temporary decompression" for the purposes of testing
[05:08] <tensorpudding> it throws away the result
[05:08] <ShapeShifter499> I added -v
[05:09] <tensorpudding> you can't test to see if it was valid without decompressing
[05:09] <tensorpudding> -v doesn't seem to do anything for bzip2 -t
[05:09] <nowimproved> seems like it doesn't matter what I do, I get the same damn result
[05:09] <nascent> Aemaeth: "line" could been any name you want
[05:10] <ShapeShifter499> I haven't used CLI compression or decompression tools before
[05:10] <sacarlson> nowimproved: http://paste.ubuntu.com/476255/
[05:10] <nascent> fe: while read somename;do echo addthis$somename;done
[05:10] <tensorpudding> This is what I gather from the tools
[05:10] <ilovefairuz> nowimproved: three things a) try with another windows machine b) clean install c) use ssh or something other than samba
[05:10] <lov2555> ilovefairuz: comes up "ls: cannot access /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/misc: No such file or directory
[05:10] <tensorpudding> If you want a very verbose description of the process, you can use tar's -t
[05:10] <tensorpudding> which just lists the contents
[05:10] <ShapeShifter499> tensorpudding: how do I check if the file is ok?
[05:11] <Aemaeth> nascent, like if i'm reading out of a txt file, can i do while read text.txt | $text; do sh ./script.sh $text; done;
[05:11] <sacarlson> nowimproved: put that in your /etc/samba/smb.conf   and restart samba /etc/init.d/samba restart   make sure you don't have samba4 running and delete it later
[05:11] <ilovefairuz> lov2555: remove /misc
[05:11] <tensorpudding> ShapeShifter499: What do you mean to check if it is okay?
[05:11] <ShapeShifter499> tensorpudding: so when I unpack I don't get messed up files
[05:11] <sacarlson> nowimproved: i mean remove samba4 at some point keep samba
[05:12] <lov255> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/eNiwC1zz
[05:12] <sacarlson> nowimproved: and I better get a big beer if that works
[05:12] <tensorpudding> you could maybe write some script which decompresses the files, takes their checksum and compares it to the checksum of the files you made the archive from
[05:12] <tensorpudding> but it would be slow, messy and tedious
[05:13] <ipc> ?msg maco give me ball wash
[05:13] <ipc> oops
[05:13] <nascent> Aemaeth: if you want to pass every line as an arg to your script id write it like this: while read lineoftext;do myscript.sh $lineoftext;done < inputfile
[05:14] <ShapeShifter499> tensorpudding: bzip2 -tv is the command pbzip2 page ( http://compression.ca/pbzip2/ ) said to use to test if the package was made ok.
[05:15] <Quintin> what is the channel for that media related ubuntu release/
[05:15] <ShapeShifter499> tensorpudding: I haven't used CLI that much, so I don't know what I'm suppose to be getting as an output
[05:16] <ShapeShifter499> Quintin: #ubuntustudio ?
[05:16] <tensorpudding> ShapeShifter499: that will test to make sure that the bzip2 compression is valid; that is, when you run the decompression algorithm, you get a valid tar file
[05:16] <Quintin> Any linux software for composing chiptunes??
[05:16] <tensorpudding> archives could in theory get corrupted somehow, there could be an error in the implementation
[05:16] <inertial> if I want to pass command line options to a user's startup shell program, what's the best way to do that? I've tried just adding the options to the end of the shell string and it doesn't work
