[00:00] <Doinkle> double check bios config to ascertain raid is enabled.  looks like it isnt with what you posted. :/
[00:00] <trench> philip__: looks like you have not made any raid partions
[00:00] <Bilz> trying to use a bluetooth dongle in ubuntu. the bluetooth icon pops up, but the only 2 options i get when i left click on  is "turn off bluetooth" and "preferences", "turn on" is greyed out
[00:00] <philip__> Doinkle: I'm doing softwareRAID, not hardware RAID (BIOS)
[00:00] <Bilz> ubuntu 10.10
[00:01] <Bilz> how am i meant to do something with that!
[00:01] <trench> Bliz - is your bluetooth device supported?
[00:02] <Bilz> trench, ive no idea, its a pretty old bluetooth dongle.
[00:02] <philip__> trench: the installer says it made the MD array. I used it to make the array (alternate CD)
[00:02] <Bilz> trench, used to work on win xp back in the day
[00:03] <trench> Philip__ you saw it make the partiotions too?
[00:03] <hippytaff> ubuntu server or debian lenny server for a home file server?
[00:03] <trench> hippytaff: new users or advance user?
[00:03] <hippytaff> newish
[00:03] <trench> hippytaff: if new user then ubuntu
[00:03] <philip__> trench: yes. I did it with both the alternate CD's installer, and the desktop CD's Disk utility to make the RAID array. No cigar
[00:03] <osmosis> how do I view the changelog of a package before installing it?
[00:04] <nimrod10> !changelog
[00:04] <hippytaff> samba or nfs?
[00:04] <trench> hippytaff: unbuntu is a cleaned up version of sid
[00:04] <nimrod10> !changelog osmosis
[00:04] <trench> hippytaff: windows users?
[00:04] <hippytaff> trench: excellent...that makes sence
[00:04] <nimrod10> osmosis !changelog
[00:05] <hippytaff> trench: a pure linux user :-D
[00:05] <NixGeek> !changelog | osmosis
[00:05] <NixGeek> nimrod10: yoiu put the command first, then a | and then the nickname
[00:05] <trench> hippytaff: i would then play with nfs and play with samba too learn more
[00:05] <trench> hippytaff: but nfs is faster
[00:06] <nyl> can someone point me to a good x11 UI for ubuntu
[00:06] <nimrod10> NixGeek, thanks
[00:06] <trench> nyl: what kind of hw?
[00:06] <nyl> for a 4.1inch touchscreen
[00:06] <hippytaff> trench: the missus has xp and she needs to access the files...I've found a windows nfs client but maybe samba is easier? I have no experince with this
[00:07] <trench> hippytaff: install samba
[00:07] <Ubunter> trench!@
[00:07] <Ubunter> trench!
[00:07] <NixGeek> nimrod10: your welcome trench: could you try to put things on one line, instead of splitting it?  this is a rather large channel and things like that really help to keep it cleaner and more effecient
[00:07] <hippytaff> trech: cheers
[00:08] <philip__> oh man, I've just elevated tech support to level 2 (#ubuntu+1) I'm going to get banned for sure
[00:08] <nyl> the current ui doesn't look that good on this screen
[00:08] <nyl> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm05cNBJQ8w
[00:08] <trench> hippytaff: if you have any problems install swat and try making the samba.conf file
[00:08] <trench> but disable swat afterwords
[00:09] <trench> Ubunter: yes? :)
[00:09] <Ubunter> I NEED HELP PLEASE: Im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a CD 32bit and right when I hit the "Preparing to install" spot it just freezes and keeps loading.. but nothing happend
[00:09] <hippytaff> trench: thanks for the advice...never heard of swat...will look into it...thanks
[00:09] <NixGeek> trench: use a comma (,) instead of hitting enter before buts please.
[00:09] <trench> NixGeek: sorry sir
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Ubunter: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you burn the CD slowly? Did you test the CD for defects once booted to?
[00:10] <Ubunter> Actionparsnip: how do i do that?
[00:11] <hippytaff> ActionParsnip: what graphics card do you have?
[00:11] <trench> Ubunter: like i told you use the http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ tool and use a usbkey
[00:11] <Ubunter> trench ill try
[00:12] <Ubunter> brb
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | Ubunter
[00:12] <trench> ActionParsnip: easier for people to use the usb device
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> hippytaff: one has GeForce 6250 onboard, one has SiS some onboard thing, lappy has Intel 965GL or somesuch
[00:13] <philip__> I want to install maverick onto a RAID1 array. I followed the Software RAID guide, but after creating the array (alternate CD), the installer says there's no / partition to install to. Any ideas?
[00:13] <Haqqkcb> Hi
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> trench: people were using CDs to install way before USB, plus not ALL BIOSes can boot USB
[00:13] <Samizdata> Awwww, dang.  It runs a server OS so X isn't running
[00:14] <NixGeek> !asl | Haqqkcb
[00:15] <trench> Ubunter: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/#install
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> trench: they are all easy, you just manipulate the ISO in a different application. How is unetbootin 'easier'?
[00:15] <philip__> ActionParsnip: ever tried making a bootable USB in windows? damn, it's more frustrating than the RAID1 I'm trying to do now
[00:15] <NixGeek> !ask | Haqqkcb
[00:15] <hippytaff> ActionParsnip: try unetbootin
[00:15] <NixGeek> sorry about that, man my typing was messed up for a second.....
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> philip__: 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux does it, even downloads and MD5 tests the ISO for you
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> hipitihop: i'm well aware of it
[00:15] <Haqqkcb> Nobody will see the question
[00:16] <Haqqkcb> Then I still spam
[00:16] <trench> ActionParsnip: all you need to format the usbdrive, plug it in, choose the usbdrive, find the distro you want, and push reboot and then you should be good to go
[00:16] <staplefood> wow so many people h ere
[00:17] <jasono> staplefood Always is, as of now 1412 total.
[00:17] <NixGeek> !ask | Haqqkcb ask the question, stop talking, or leave...
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> trench: to burn a CD you slam in a CD drive which is synonymous with plugging in the USB, then tell the burning app (like unetbootin) to put the image on the drive, you can then boot to it like a usb. Again, how is unetbootin easier?
[00:18] <trench> ActionParsnip: you have to find the cd too right? :)
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> trench: you have to find a usb stick
[00:18] <trench> and download it
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> trench: the download is part of both operations..
[00:18] <trench> well you have the image already added to unetbootin
[00:19] <Haqqkcb> Should I install on p3 45o with 512 l2 or 6oo 256 l2 the 450 had one extra ram slot
[00:19] <breadcrumb> w
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> trench: the difference is the USB will install FASTER but the CD install method will work on any system providing it has an optical drive as more systems can boot CD than can boot USB
[00:19] <trench> Haqqkcb: what are you gone use it for?
[00:19] <trench> ActionParsnip: usbdrives is the new floppy :)
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> trench: that is moot to the discussion
[00:20] <trench> ActionParsnip: and usbdrives are more enviromental friendly ;P
[00:20] <Haqqkcb> Just an extra pc playing music and converting wav to mp3
[00:20] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: I
[00:20] <trench> Haqqkcb: then i would take the one with the most ram
[00:21] <SQUEEEE> I'm having some trouble with my WLAN. My wireless card is a TP-LINK TL-WN951N with an Atheros AR5008 chipset. I can connect to my router, but I can't connect to any servers using my browser. When I first connect to the wireless network I can ping for example google.com just fine. But as soon as I try navigating to google.com using my browser, the pinging stops. Any ideas?
[00:21] <trench> Haqqkcb: but hw is not that expensive now days so i would give both of them to charity
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> trench: possibly, i've not looked into that. but as for easier, it's simply not true
[00:21] <Haqqkcb> Maybe some contact lists 20 k contacts
[00:21] <trench> hehe
[00:21] <martin_> hdparm -tT is non-destructive right?
[00:21] <Haqqkcb> What would the other be better for
[00:21] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: woops, sorry about that.  I'd say xubuntu or debian on the p3, ubuntu will run so slowly it won't be possible to use it.
[00:22] <Haqqkcb> X runs slow too
[00:22] <aeon-ltd> Haqqkcb: if you have time i'd say even start with debian server/minimal to get the most out of the hardware
[00:23] <Haqqkcb> Puppy is just to gay
[00:23] <Tacos> hello
[00:23] <aeon-ltd> Haqqkcb: also don't use big DEs
[00:23] <aeon-ltd> Haqqkcb: how about arch linux?
[00:23] <Tacos> can anyone help me with a graphics issue

[00:23] <Haqqkcb> All I have is ubunti
[00:23] <Haqqkcb> No it connection
[00:24] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: mabey a server?  you could store files on it for backup, or host your own website.  I'd setup ssh and ftp so you could run it headless

[00:24] <Haqqkcb> Static ip costs so much
[00:24] <aeon-ltd> message to everyone helping Haqqkcb - is it possible to do a server install from the livecd?
[00:24] <snake_> Does anyone have experience with ddclient on ubuntu 10.10.
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Haqqkcb: do you have an Ubuntu question?
[00:25] <Haqqkcb> Lol
[00:25] <trench> !details Haqqkcb
[00:25] <Haqqkcb> Thats all
[00:25] <Haqqkcb> Thanks
[00:26] <trench> Haqqkcb: you are welcome :)
[00:26] <NixGeek> Haqqkcb: I personally get a free static ip with my internet.  you could you it on your local network only, or use a DNS service like this: http://www.dyndns.com/
[00:26]  * trench has had the same ip since 1994 :)
[00:27] <celthunder> NixGeek, who's your isp?
[00:27] <Taco_S> any idea's
[00:27] <snake_> NixGeek, yeah I'm using them. I downloaded a ddclient. and it doesn't work. (details in a second.)
[00:27] <NixGeek> celthunder: shawneelink
[00:27] <trench> snake_: internal ip?
[00:27] <l0rd_hex> is there a specific channel for network-manager issues?
[00:27] <quinnw> Hello
[00:27] <h4f> Hi people
[00:27] <snake_> trench, no, for my external.
[00:27] <trench> h4f - ask your question :P
[00:27] <h4f> does any one have an idea of how to update Android phone from linux?
[00:27] <Haqqkcb> With the shortage of ip you would think they would brand us all 2 one for phone website and home what a waste
[00:27] <celthunder> l0rd_hex, whats the issue
[00:28] <celthunder> h4f, yeah
[00:28] <l0rd_hex> h4f: the android sdk has lots of tools
[00:28] <h4f>  celthunder: i could not find any guide on google
[00:28] <quinnw> Is anyone here familliar with the "Abrowser" package in Ubuntu?
[00:28] <JohnThomson> Hi, anyone here wanting to help the Linux community in possibly a very major way, please contact me about volunteer work, data mining, in exchange for free website hosting and email hosting. Basically, we are trying to convert the UK Government and, ultimately, the uk population, to Ubuntu, or at least, Linux
[00:28] <l0rd_hex> but you should be familar with flash and recovery
[00:28] <iflema> snake_: if this is for a home router, some have a dyndns function built in....
[00:28] <Haqqkcb> U on droid
[00:28] <h4f> l0rd_hex:  and after the SDK what should I do ?
[00:28] <snake_> NixGeek, do you know how to make it start up on bootup? when I follow the readme, it says that the directory doesn't exist.
[00:28] <celthunder> h4f, put the updated rom on the sdcard boot to recovery flash it
[00:28] <Haqqkcb> I'm on droid
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> h4f: you can flash the firmware by copying the relevant files in the relevant order to the SD card and rebooting etc in the usual way
[00:28] <snake_> iflema, yes but my router randomly says "no host found"
[00:29] <Haqqkcb> Metro pcs lg optimus m
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> h4f: if your provider gives an update app, you will most likely need windows to use it
[00:29] <NixGeek> snake_: go to system> preferences> startup Applications and add it to the list
[00:29] <quinnw> More specificly, does anyone know where I can download the unbranded source code used for Abrowser?
[00:29] <h4f> ActionParsnip:  thats the problem I don't have windows
[00:29] <trench> h4f - or you could try it with wine
[00:29] <NixGeek> h4f: wine mabey?
[00:29] <Taco_S> Ok when I attempt to boot into ubuntu it first loads in a normal resolution then when I enter my passkey it kills the video and locks up. When i reboot it's in a lower resolution but logs right in.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> h4f: then you may be able to do it via a VM but you may have to dual boot (or use a different system) to get updated
[00:29] <snake_> NixGeek, will that make it a service as well. (like for apache2 i just type: service apache2 status)
[00:29] <trench> H4f - or try vmware player
[00:29] <Ubunter> trench
[00:30] <Haqqkcb> Any way to install ubunti on android
[00:30] <Ubunter> trench: it didnt work
[00:30] <JohnThomson> Hi, anyone here wanting to help the Linux community in possibly a very major way, please contact me about volunteer work, data mining, in exchange for free website hosting and email hosting. Basically, we are trying to convert the UK Government and, ultimately, the uk population, to Ubuntu, or at least, Linux
[00:30] <JohnThomson> (sorry about spamming)
[00:30] <NixGeek> snake_: no, it won't make it a service, but it will run when you log in
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Haqqkcb: http://theandroidsite.com/2009/05/07/install-ubuntu-with-full-desktop-environment-on-your-g1/
[00:30] <h4f> do you guys think wine or wmvare will work properly with USB ?
[00:30] <trench> JohnThomson: this is a support channel :)
[00:30] <celthunder> h4f, you don't need windows to update..only the ruu uses windows anyway...just flash the updated rom off the sdcard
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> h4f: vmware may, i'd ask in #vmware
[00:30] <trench> h4f - vmware works yes
[00:30] <h4f> Thanks I will look into installing SDK
[00:30] <l0rd_hex> celthunder: for some reason I can't put my wlan card (Intel 4965AGN) into ad-hoc or managed mode but network manager seems to do it just fine.. I've stopped the service to make sure it's not interfering with my manual efforts but it's just strange
[00:31] <h4f> thank you all
[00:31] <trench> yw
[00:31] <JohnThomson> Trench: I am asking for support, just not that exact type :P
[00:31] <l0rd_hex> celthunder: Ubunti 10.04 on amd64
[00:31] <trench> JohnThomson: to far for me :)
[00:31] <quinnw> Would it be spamming if I ask my question again? I know there was a conversation of sorts going on.
[00:31] <snake_> quinnw, go ahead, I'm curious
[00:31] <celthunder> l0rd_hex, did you shutdown the interface before doing iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
[00:31] <Haqqkcb> Won't happen linux is not safe. At least windows gives u clues your hacked linux dont
[00:31] <JohnThomson> Trench: OK, any idea where to go?
[00:31] <celthunder> (ifconfig wlan0 down)
[00:31] <quinnw> Is anyone here familliar with the "Abrowser" package in Ubuntu?
[00:31] <Taco_S> spamming maybe but that depends
[00:31] <quinnw> More specificly, does anyone know where I can download the unbranded source code used for Abrowser?
[00:31] <Ubunter> SOMEONE PELASE HELP ME!
[00:32] <guampa> JohnThomson: #ubuntu-offtopic might a better chan for that
[00:32] <trench> JohnThomson: the lugs in your country
[00:32] <Ubunter> TRENCH: IT DIDNT WORK...
[00:32] <Taco_S> if you post it 15 times it's annoying twice is about average
[00:32] <quinnw> Ah ok.
[00:32] <quinnw> Hehe
[00:32] <guampa> s/might/might be/
[00:32] <JohnThomson> Thanx trench :)
[00:32] <Haqqkcb> I want ubunti on my droid
[00:32] <NixGeek> snake_: have a look at this, it will  help you:  http://tinyurl.com/script2service
[00:33] <trench> Ubunter: what did not work?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Haqqkcb: its ubuntu (pronounced OO-BOON-TOO), not ubunti
[00:33] <NixGeek> !caps | Ubunter
[00:33] <celthunder> l0rd_hex, ?
[00:33] <Ubunter> TRENCH: THE PROGRAM YOU GAVE ME
[00:33] <Ubunter> OH
[00:33] <quinnw> ubottu: I can't read lowercase :) Jk
[00:33] <Ubunter> sorry
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Ubunter: kill the caps
[00:33] <l0rd_hex> celthunder: no, I'll try that
[00:33] <trench> Ubunter: it works fine here
[00:34] <Ubunter> omg...
[00:34] <Ubunter> send me link again
[00:34] <Ubunter> im back on desktop
[00:34] <milamber> quinnw: http://packages.ubuntu.com/    click on your version, then on the right side the source will be available
[00:34] <Haqqkcb> I am just a bot
[00:34] <quinnw> Well, yes.
[00:34] <trench> Ubunter: unetbootin.sf.net
[00:35] <quinnw> But that offers the Firefox (branded) source doesn't it?
[00:35] <quinnw> If not then great! But I thought that was the branded stuff.
[00:35]  * Taco_S slams head into desk
[00:35] <trench> Taco_S: did it help?
[00:35] <Haqqkcb> Did they upgrade the nvidia so vanta can run compiz
[00:35]  * quinnw actually laughs out loud at that
[00:36]  * Samizdata misses Compiz on the netbook edition.
[00:36] <phrozeidon> moin
[00:36] <Taco_S> well no but at least i know that it will produce result every time i try it.
[00:36] <GeekSquid> quinnw: abrowser is the unbranded firefox, the source should be unbranded, as in Abrowser brand, not Mozilla brand ... I think I said that right
[00:37] <phrozeidon> and bye
[00:37] <quinnw> Ah ok.
[00:37] <Sonja> is there an easy way to cut and edit .avi in Ubuntu?
[00:37] <trench> if you are l33t you use ratpoison as a window manager
[00:37] <quinnw> I'll check it out.
[00:37] <quinnw> trench: I use twm :D
[00:37] <celthunder> Sonja, piviti or cinnerela
[00:37] <Sonja> thanks
[00:37] <oneliner> Sonja: try piviti
[00:38] <trojan_spike> Sonja, openshot is a pretty good editor
[00:38] <Haqqkcb> How can I rip dvd in ubuntu
[00:38]  * Taco_S gets ready to dump and re-install the os
[00:38] <Fraser> are there any viruses affecting ubuntu  os ?
[00:38] <GeekSquid> Haqqkcb: handbrake (which isn't available in repositories) ... or dvd:rip which is
[00:38] <Jordan_U> Fraser: No.
[00:38] <Haqqkcb> Is it true ubuntu will kill your mac hd
[00:39] <System_Default_0> I need to hack an ISO, is there some kind of editor for ISO images?
[00:39] <System_Default_0> I mean a visual editor.
[00:39] <Jordan_U> quinnw: The "firefox" source package does not contain branding. The "firefox" binary package depends either on firefox-branding or abrowser-branding.
[00:39]  * NixGeek cheers for Taco_S and hopes it works
[00:39] <oneliner> Haqqkcb: acidrip works so so
[00:39] <quinnw> Ok
[00:39] <l0rd_hex> celthunder: I'll keep checking
[00:39] <Taco_S> windows 7 is a nasty virus that destroyes many linux users
[00:39] <quinnw> Well I should mention that I'm not using Ubuntu
[00:39] <Fraser> thank you jordan_u
[00:39] <osmosis> how do I view the changelog of a package before installing it? ...from the CLI, not the browser.
[00:39] <Jordan_U> Fraser: You're welcome.
[00:39] <trench> Jordan_U: you had Staog back in 1996 :)
[00:39] <quinnw> I'm just looking for the source that I thought should be in a Mozilla FTP somewhere.
[00:39] <oneliner> System_Default_0: try opening the iso with a compressor like file-roller (wild guess)
[00:39] <Taco_S> well guess i'm going to re-install
[00:40] <quinnw> System_Default_0: Try out Gnome-iso
[00:40] <quinnw> I have to go pick up my little bro.
[00:40] <Jordan_U> quinnw: Actually, I guess the firefox source package creates both abrowser-branding and firefox-branding binary pacakges.
[00:40] <trench> Jordan_U: and Bliss
[00:40] <quinnw> So thanks in advance if anyone gives me additional info while I'm AFK.
[00:41] <Jordan_U> trench: But you didn't have Ubuntu in 1996 :)
[00:41] <Haqqkcb> Wine had not had any major improvements
[00:41] <System_Default_0> OK, thanks.
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> System_Default_0: you can mount ISOs already. If you want to remaster an Ubuntu CD you can use remastersys, is this what you are wanting?
[00:41] <milamber> osmosis: aptitude changelog <packagename>
[00:41] <Samizdata> Okay, well, I am sufficiently unelite as far as using ratpoison.
[00:41] <trench> System_Default_0: just mount it and edit it?
[00:42] <elricsfate> pam related question. tking            hard    memlock         102400 would only allow that user to use that set amount of RAM correct?
[00:42] <Phong_> sup
[00:43] <New2ubuntu> how do you uninstall grub?
[00:43] <System_Default_0> OK. I'm trying to modify a PSP game an ISO right, so I'm asking for an application, that can edit it.
[00:43] <kcorcoran_> a few years ago a friend had told me about mythtv.  i have recently begam migrating away from windows; is mythtv still a good application to build my media center?  i am running ubuntu 10.10 (64bit)  any insight appreciated.
[00:43] <trench> System_Default_0: you are in the wrong channel for your question
[00:43] <red2kic> kcorcoran_: I like XBMC.
[00:43] <Jordan_U> New2ubuntu: You don't generally "remove" bootloaders, you replace them with another bootloader. What is your end goal?
[00:43] <milamber> !mythbuntu | kcorcoran_
[00:44] <trench> kcorcoran_: i would rather use xbmc
[00:44] <kcorcoran_> trench:  can you elaborate why?
[00:44] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, I use XBMC too...but myth is great if you plan on watching or recording live TV
[00:44] <GeekSquid> Would one of our kind ops please msg me, I have an issue regarding someone here that needs to be discussed in private
[00:45] <kcorcoran_> correct me if i am wrong, but it sounds like mythubuntu is a stripped version of ubuntu strictly for media purposes?  that correct?
[00:45] <trench> kcorcoran_: it all depends on your needs and what you want to do
[00:45] <bastidrazor> GeekSquid: #ubuntu-ops
[00:45] <System_Default_0> So, please make an ubottu command.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> kcorcoran_: sure, media centres work well with xbmc too ;)
[00:45] <istvan> hey, i have an Abit IP35Pro with the ICH9R raid chipset. I have two drives in raid 0, but ubuntu still sees them separately. what steps do I take to fix this, such that windows will still be compatible with using these drives in a raid?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> !raid | istvan
[00:45] <Ubunter> TRENCH: I booted from the usb and i tried it again but still stops at the "preparing to install" console screen =/
[00:45] <kcorcoran_> i will basically be using it to watch and record tv shows...and play various ISO's - perhaps streaming in the future.
[00:45] <Ubunter> Starting to get mad
[00:45] <New2ubuntu> Can you see this?
[00:45] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, mythbuntu is just a package in ubuntu...it helps configure all the components surrounding mythtv
[00:46] <v0lksman> yes
[00:46] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, if you plan to record mythtv-backend is the way to go
[00:46] <NixGeek> ActionParsnip: I think he knows what raid is, he needs help with it, not links to it
[00:46] <trench> Ubunter: tried expert mode?
[00:47] <Ubunter> trench: how do iget there?
[00:47] <istvan> ActionParsnip: is the ICH9R software? I see it as two drives in ubuntu, but spinrite and other disk live CDs see it as one disk
[00:47] <kcorcoran_> V0lksman:  currently i have a fully installed version of desktop ubuntu v10.10 (64) - do i need to uninstall or is this a package i load on top of ubuntu?
[00:47] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, I have a machine running mythtv-backend that records but all the rest of the media centers in my house use XBMC as the frontend
[00:47] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, yeah you should be able to find mythbuntu in synaptic...I forget the actual package name right now
[00:48] <kcorcoran_> volksman:  why not run all media stations with myth?
[00:48] <Jordan_U> istvan: It is FakeRAID, spinwrite sees it as a single disk because spinwrite is DOS based and thus can be tricked by the BIOS presenting the array as a single disk (this is not true of real operating systems that access hardware directly).
[00:48] <Ubunter> trench: how do i get to expert mode?
[00:48] <chaospsychex> what's the EASIEST way to set up a ftp server in ubuntu without having to edit txt config files to set it up?
[00:48] <BedMan> v0lksman: how many shows can it record at once?
[00:48] <trench> ActionParsnip: you have a link to the screenshots of the install?
[00:48] <trench> or anyone else
[00:49] <istvan> Jordan_U: ah, thank you!
[00:49] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: proftpd with gadmin proftpd
[00:49] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  so if i understand correctly, youre using myth to perfom all your recording - but on the other workstations you use xbmc as a front end to access the media from myth?
[00:49] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, myth has it's quirks and is a bit of a maintenance nightmare...also somewhat sluggish compared to XBMC...
[00:49] <draven_sol> how do i determine the physical connection for a /dev/sdX device?
[00:49] <Jordan_U> istvan: You're welcome.
[00:49] <Jordan_U> draven_sol: ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/
[00:49] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, yep...!
[00:49] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: install using "sudo apt-get install proftpd-basic gadmin-proftpd"
[00:49] <istvan> Jordan_U: is there still a significant speed advantage for writing many files all over 200 MB or larger with fakeRAID?
[00:50] <Ubunter> TRENCH: HOPW DO I GET TO EXPERT MODE?
[00:50] <v0lksman> BedMan, depends on your setup.  at one point I had 2 cards and 2 sat receivers...so 2 shows at once... :)
[00:50] <trench> Ubunter: it's a LONG time since i have installed ubunutu myself
[00:50] <NixGeek> !caps | Ubunter
[00:50] <linux> where am i?
[00:51] <dr4c4n> Ubunter: patience is a virtue
[00:51] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  so a few years ago the package was myth tv - has mythbuntu replaced myth tv?
[00:51] <rww> linux: The IRC channel for technical support with Ubuntu Linux.
[00:51] <Samizdata> The Ubuntu IRC support channel.
[00:51] <Jordan_U> istvan: There is no speed advantage to FakeRAID over linux software RAID as both use the CPU. There is a performance advantage to any RAID0 over non-raid, but I wouldn't trust any important data to RAID0 (especially FakeRAID).
[00:51] <NixGeek> kcorcoran_: go to the software center and search mythtv, it has the frontend, backend, and other things
[00:51] <draven_sol> Jordan_U, thanks
[00:52] <cheater99> hi guys!!
[00:52] <Jordan_U> draven_sol: You're welcome.
[00:52] <cheater99> i have a big big problem
[00:52] <kcorcoran_> NixGeek: that's what i am seeing, i am trying to understand which i should install.
[00:52] <cheater99> my user interface is freezing up right now
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> cheater99: is your RAM healthy?
[00:52] <GeekSquid> !details | cheater99
[00:52] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, no...mythbuntu started as a seperate project based on ubuntu...eventually Ubuntu adopted the project in as a package that can just be installed (rather than a standalone OS)...mythtv is a completely separate project...mythbuntu just makes it a little easier to manage
[00:52] <cheater99> yes
[00:53] <kcorcoran_> thank you.
[00:53] <istvan> Jordan_U: thanks again ;) its backed up hourly, but as a VFX artist and enjoy it as a hoby too, i deal with big files and yeah, got sick of it :p
[00:53] <cheater99> i'm using metacity... i entered the top menu (applications), and sometimes you can move the cursor away quickly enough that the bar hides but the menu is there..
[00:53] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, sry...mythbuntu makes it easier to manage and install myth tv in ubuntu... :)
[00:53] <cheater99> i also switched context to another app by mistake
[00:53] <chaospsychex> NixGeek: can you help me with these program a little
[00:53] <NixGeek> kcorcoran_: i'd say the frontend and backend, and control center, but i've never really messed with it, so someone else might have a better suggestion
[00:53] <cheater99> well now that menu is hanging. i cannot access the top bar and the bottom bar (app switcher)
[00:53] <Ubunter> CANT SOMEONE JUST ASWERE THIS QUETION!? HOW DO I GET PASSED THE "PREPARING TO INSTALL" WINDOW!?!?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> istvan: You're welcome.
[00:54] <cheater99> i have pressed alt-f2 to see if the UI still responds, and the "run" window popped up, but pressing cancel does nothing, the window is still there
[00:54] <cheater99> does anyone have any ideas please?
[00:54] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: You have been asked many times to stop using caps lock. This is your last warning.
[00:54] <rww> Ubunter: Please stop using all-caps. It's disruptive and not helping you.
[00:54] <osmosis> milamber, thx
[00:54] <chaospsychex> whats the easiest way to setup a ftp server
[00:54] <cheater99> i'm using ubuntu 10.04 with everything updated
[00:54] <GeekSquid> !ftp | chaospsychex
[00:54] <Ubunter> well when i talk like this no one can see what im saying!
[00:54] <WeThePeople> looking for a program that can read a sktpe user name and connect with that person through skype network...skype is not working
[00:54] <trench> chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install vsftpd
[00:54] <rww> Ubunter: We can see what you're saying just fine. Be patient.
[00:54] <itaylor57> KM0201: i had to leave earlier to eat and check the tire pressure on my Spyder trike
[00:55] <Ubunter> ive been at this for like 3 hours now!
[00:55] <KM0201> itaylor57: lol
[00:55] <chaospsychex> can someone give me a link to documentation on how to setup a ftp server step by step
[00:55] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: like I said, install proftpd and it's graphical control center using "sudo apt-get install proftpd-basic gadmin-proftpd"  and then go to Applications> system tools> GADMIN-PROFTPD
[00:55] <Fraser> ubunter there is no feed back from the install prog but check your disk dribe light and see if it is being used if so just hang pretty until it has completed
[00:55] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, I think you just need to install mythbuntu-control-centre...it will pull the rest with dependencies...
[00:55] <chaospsychex> NixGeek i did that but this program is overwhelming
[00:55] <Ubunter> Its very ennoying that i cant get passed  1 stupid screen! and not just for the Ubuntu install but for linux mint also!
[00:56] <cheater99> come on guys.. i'm sure someone has at least some idea what i could do...
[00:56] <chaospsychex> is there even an option to set what directory they can ftp into ?
[00:56] <NixGeek> ah, first things first, go to the bottom of the lower part of the first page, type in a password and hit apply
[00:56] <pepperjack> Ubunter: you might consider the alternate install cd if youre having trouble with the livecd install
[00:56] <tomd> hello, im trying to get two applications (kopete & mjpg-streamer) to listen to the same video device (a webcam) simultaneouslly. What excatly keeps this from happening? Does the kernal lock the video device for the initial application?
[00:56] <aeon-ltd> cheater99: mouse isn't detected?
[00:56] <GeekSquid> !patience | everybody
[00:56] <Ubunter> pepperjack: how do i do it?
[00:57] <cheater99> aeon-ltd: the mouse is detected, the gui was responding fine until this second
[00:57] <red2kic> !alt | Ubunter
[00:57] <v0lksman> cheater, you could try 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' ?
[00:57] <pepperjack> Ubunter: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download  are you comfortable with a less friendly install?
[00:57] <chaospsychex> gadmin sux!
[00:58] <Ubunter> Pepperjack: yes, ive installed arch before and that was hard
[00:58] <cheater99> v0lksman: will this close applications that are currently open?
[00:58] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  by dl'ing control center, will is pull the backend as well...i have search all mythbuntu and do not see the backend, nor front end
[00:58] <v0lksman> cheater99, yes.  it will restart X
[00:59] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: go to users, click on new user, type in a username and password, choose the directories their allowed to access at the bottom, and then click apply
[00:59] <cheater99> v0lksman: i wouldn't want to do that, i think only some part of gnome is broken
[00:59] <cheater99> after all i'm in xchat right now and can use alt-tab
[00:59] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, the control center is just a piece of software to manage myth and it's environment (by adding and removing packages, AND settings etc)...so with the CC you can tell it to install just a backend for example
[00:59] <NixGeek> chaospsychex: then click activate and you have a running ftp server
[01:00] <v0lksman> cheater99, gdm: gnome display manager
[01:00] <sunjie> from shandong
[01:00] <v0lksman> cheater99, ah...well then you will need to figure out exactly what crashed and restart it
[01:00] <v0lksman> like gnome-panel or something
[01:00] <cheater99> v0lksman: yes
[01:00] <sunjie> xixi
[01:01] <GeekSquid> kcorcoran_ the correct spelling is mythbuntu-control-centre
[01:02] <chaospsychex> it wont start
[01:02] <cheater99> v0lksman: ok great, killing gnome-panel got rid of the hanging menu. now i can access the bottom bar. what about the top bar? i thought that was gnome-panel too
[01:02] <kcorcoran_> hmm, installed...not seeing anything in the applications.
[01:03] <Ubunter> can someone give me the chat to linux mint?
[01:03] <chaospsychex> - mod_dso/0.4: module 'mod_ctrls_admin.c' already loaded
[01:03] <chaospsychex>  - Fatal: LoadModule: error loading module 'mod_ctrls_admin.c': Operation not permitted on line 7 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
[01:03] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, check System
[01:03] <cheater99> oh, there was another thing i had to kill
[01:03] <GeekSquid> !mint
[01:03] <cheater99> works now!
[01:03] <cheater99> thanks for the tip!!
[01:03] <v0lksman> hahaha
[01:03] <v0lksman> wow
[01:03] <cheater99>  /usr/lib/gnome-panel/wnck-applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Wncklet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=20         <<< had to kill this too
[01:03] <v0lksman> np!  :)
[01:03] <cheater99> :))
[01:04] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  thank you
[01:04] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Can you post a screenshot of where the install is hanging?
[01:04] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, np!
[01:04] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | Ubunter
[01:04] <chaospsychex> im uninstalling this crapass ftp server
[01:04] <GeekSquid> !language | chaospsychex
[01:05] <Daevol> Hey
[01:05] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, vsftp used to be the best...no clue anymore since I stopped using FTP servers...what are you planning to do with yours?
[01:05] <Daevol> I'm having volume control issues
[01:05] <loculinux> hi
[01:05] <Daevol> whenever I use the volume keys on my keyboard, or use the volume applet to change the volume, the PCM jumps to 100
[01:06] <chaospsychex> i just want to access some files that are on this machine from another machine on my home network
[01:06] <reya276> How can I fix my update manager so that it stops telling me that my repositories are out of sync?
[01:06] <Daevol> which distorts things and makes it too loud (it cuts off above a comfortable volume)
[01:06] <Lxndr> I have Firefox installed on multiple computers. On each computer I have the exact same Greasemonkey scripts installed. On one computer (Windows), they all work. On this computer (Ubuntu), only half of them work. What can I do to make them all work?
[01:06] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: id second vsftpd though you might consider just using ssh or samba
[01:06] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, SFTP works without any additional software...just use your user login and it will work
[01:06] <chaospsychex> sftp?
[01:06] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, just a setting in most FTP clients
[01:06] <chaospsychex> the other machine is a windows machine
[01:07] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, FileZilla will connect via SFTP without issue
[01:07] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  so, is this a correct assumption - i will build a mythbuntu box...and, if i throw xbmc on my laptop can i stream data from my mythbuntu box to my laptop?
[01:07] <Ubunter> Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:07] <chaospsychex> dude i got to setup the ftp server first
[01:07] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install openssh-server  then run winscp or something to connect
[01:08] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, yep...the only thing you can't see in XBMC is the live recordings...so if you want to watch live TV or a show that is being recorded you will need a myth frontend
[01:08] <itaylor57> sometimes we can't see the trees for the mitochondria
[01:08] <snake_> When I try port forwarding on my router (HTTP, Port 80) it says that there is a port conflict with another service. Can anyone clarify what a service in this sense might be referring to?
[01:08] <chaospsychex> pepperjack docs on configuring openssh?
[01:08] <Daevol> ...anybody good with pulseaudio/alsa stuff?
[01:08] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, right...forgot not everyone installs ssh...hahaha...but just install the package and presto
[01:08] <Ubunter> Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:09] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: should just work with the default config file.  any sftp client for windows then will work
[01:09] <Daevol> snake_: at a guess, I'd say your router is already forward 80 for some reason
[01:09] <chaospsychex> dude have you ever even setup a file server?
[01:10] <chaospsychex> i have a specific folder i want to allow access to
[01:10] <chaospsychex> not my whole filesystem
[01:10] <Ubunter> Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:10] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, well you didn't say that...
[01:10] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: if you want a dedicated file server then id go with samba or ftp.  vsftpd is my choice normally
[01:10] <Guest43568>  hey all ive got weired  letters down the bottom of my screen how to i get rid of em
[01:10] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, but you can still do that with ssh
[01:10] <itaylor57> my name is dude and yes I have
[01:10] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:10] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, oh and yeah...I have too...many many many...too many...that's why I quit... ;)
[01:11] <Guest43568> ?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Guest43568: run: killall gnome-panel    the panel will automagically reload and may help
[01:11] <Daevol> So, uh, nobody here knows how to fix PCM volume resets? neat
[01:11] <chaospsychex> sudo alsa-mixer
[01:11] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: proftpd, for example, has defaultroot in config (/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf) - that is what you need, I think
[01:11] <Guest43568> where do i find kill all
[01:11] <chaospsychex> proftpd wont even start
[01:12] <chaospsychex> i get some error about a module failing to load
[01:12] <Daevol> chaospsychex: yeah, that lets me change it, but as soon as I change the volume with any other method (keyboard, applet) it jumps right back to 100
[01:12] <v0lksman> proftpd will want config
[01:12] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: okay, so what about ssh?
[01:12] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, so why not go samba?  offsite access?
[01:12] <snake_> Daevol, maybe another device (such as my modem) is forwarding that port..
[01:12] <chaospsychex> i know nothing about samba or ssh
[01:12] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e:       http://imagebin.org/131025
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> Daevol: check my comment on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/352732?comments=all
[01:13] <snake_> Daevol, lemme check ;)
[01:13] <chaospsychex> im familiar with ftp,just not setting it up on ubuntu
[01:13] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, hahaha...seems you know little about FTP too.. :)
[01:13] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: I saw it the first (and second) time.
[01:13] <Ubunter> lol
[01:13] <Ubunter> k
[01:13] <Ubunter> wel...
[01:13] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  clarification, i can stream any data, just not live data?  so a show previously recorded would play fine on xbmc laptop?
[01:13] <chaospsychex> well i usually run the ftp server from windows,but windows 7 is gay
[01:13] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: How much RAM do you have?
[01:13] <chaospsychex> wont even let the ftp server write the config file
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: how can an OS have sex?
[01:13] <Ubunter> 2gb
[01:13] <quinnw> Oh
[01:14] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, yep... :)
[01:14] <quinnw> Wow I feel so stupid
[01:14] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install openssh-server - this will install openssh on your host and run the daemon. next oyu need winscp or scp to login to your host with you system password and get files
[01:14] <Rogueboy> Hi, I'm looking to install Ubuntu on my desktop whose hard drive I had reformated can someone help me? preferably through PM
[01:14] <con-man> hey where can I edit my file associations?
[01:14] <chaospsychex> how does one configure ssh
[01:14] <itaylor57> pianolender1: thanks
[01:15] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: I have 2GB of Ram
[01:15] <con-man> chaospsychex, open terminal, type ssh followed by ip address
[01:15] <Daevol> ActionParsnip: but, I'm not having issues with anything being muted or zeroed. It's the opposite; pulseaudio keeps setting the PCM to 100 every time I change the master volume
[01:15] <chaospsychex> omg
[01:15] <pepperjack> con-man: nautilus normally handles that.  you can right-click on the file and 'open with other app'
[01:15] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: what king of configurind do you want? it just starts
[01:15] <chaospsychex> i understand that, and thats the problem
[01:15] <con-man> pepperjack, 10.10 seems to do it for that individual file instead of all files with that extension
[01:15] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny  steps 2 and 3 will get you a lock down via SFTP
[01:15] <crooks3o6> chaospsychex: config files are in /etc/ssh/
[01:16] <chaospsychex> what directories is it allowing access to
[01:16] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, you did say you were on 10.10 right?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: Are you having a particular problem?
[01:16] <snake_> Daevol, thanks for speculating with me. It was my modem. :)
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Daevol: i see, if you run the alsa-info.sh from the sound troubleshooting page, do you have 1.0.23?
[01:16] <kcorcoran_> thanks for the help for now...i'll have more questions.  i have to go now before my fiance tears me from the console! :)
[01:16] <pepperjack> con-man: there should be a 'remember choice' checkbox sorry I'm not in gnome atm to check
[01:16] <ohzie> Hey guys. What if i just want to list the "upgradeable" packages in the command line using aptitude?
[01:16] <v0lksman> kcorcoran_, tell her it's worth it...my wife loves the setup now... :)
[01:16] <quinnw> use apt-get
[01:16] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: First time I'm installing an OS that's not Windows, and not on a brand new Comp
[01:16] <pianolender1> chaospsychex: so, if you want to deny some hosts from loggint to your host, you can use /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/hosts.deny, iptables or so
[01:17] <chaospsychex> just forget it
[01:17] <pepperjack> con-man: ah 10.10.  i havent tested since 9.04
[01:17] <con-man> pepperjack, yeah it doesn't have a remember choice. worked fine on 10.04
[01:17] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: I have 2GB of Ram
[01:17] <snake_> chaospsychex, wut?
[01:17] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: so basically I tried interrupting the set up and booting from the Ubuntu CD
[01:17] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Keep getting the BootMGR not found
[01:17] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Again, I saw the first time.
[01:17] <chaospsychex> there has to be a simpler way to do what i want to do
[01:18] <TehCodr> oh hell no
[01:18] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: why dont you answer back...
[01:18] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: You get this error when you try to boot from the Ubuntu CD?
[01:18] <Hilikus> ubuntu recognizes my both monitors but its putting all bars and panels in the secondary one, how do i switch it?
[01:18] <TehCodr> if that david is the david in pittsnurgh I'm gonna scream...
[01:18] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, what I sent will lock the user into their home directory...you can then put whatever you want in that directory for them
[01:18] <ohzie> chaospsychex: What are you trying to do?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Because I don't know why it's hanging there.
[01:18] <con-man> does anyone know how to associate a file type in 10.10? it seems to have changed
[01:18] <bastidrazor> Hilikus: you should be able to drag and drop the panels and it will be remembered
[01:19] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Yeah, but there is the off chance I did select the wrong CD Drive, I'll try it through USB this way I know I can't select the wrong one
[01:19] <Rogueboy> BRB
[01:19] <v0lksman> con-man: right click?
[01:19] <root_> ehi
[01:19] <Daevol> ActionParsnip: hold on
[01:19] <aeon-ltd> con-man: uhh right click open with? if your still using nautilus i don't think it has changed
[01:19] <Hilikus> bastidrazor: ??? dragging the panels? they don;t seem to move at all
[01:19] <chaospsychex> yeah and it will take half the night to set it up too
[01:20] <ohzie> chaospsychex: What are you trying to do
[01:20] <TehCodr> Guys, any advice on partitioning a disk with the command line?
[01:20] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: That is a Windows error, so your BIOS is definitely not booting from and Ubuntu disk.
[01:20] <chaospsychex> i just want to allow network access to one folder on this pc
[01:20] <v0lksman> chaospsychex, if you type those 4 lines REALLY slowly, yeah it might...
[01:20] <con-man> aeon-ltd, it has changed. that's the problem?
[01:20] <Daevol> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0c0df385f547ad6f8b6da0414e5092605b2ca6cd
[01:20] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Yeah once I read your reaction was a definite fail stamp on my attempt
[01:20] <GeekSquid> root_: Danger Danger Will Robinson!!! You are running your IRC client as ROOT, this is a MAJOR Security Vulnerability, It would be wise not to do this in the future
[01:20] <ohzie> chaospsychex: Then use samba or vsftpd to simplify permissions.
[01:20] <Daevol> ActionParsnip: yep. 1.0.23
[01:20] <root_> ei
[01:21] <root_> some body tell me how can i upgrade my kde
[01:21] <root_> i use apt-get install kde
[01:21] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: YOU ASKED ME HOW MUCH RAM I HAD I THought?
[01:21] <chaospsychex> i dont know what samba is
[01:21] <user__> halo
[01:21] <ohzie> chaospsychex: vsftpd you use the chroot jail options and make the home directory for some user(the one they'll log in with) the folder that you want to share.
[01:21] <GeekSquid> root_: not until you learn about sudo...
[01:21] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Is there a problem with your caps lock key?
[01:21] <ohzie> chaospsychex: smb4
[01:21] <GeekSquid> !sudo | root_
[01:21] <con-man> v0lksman, aeon-ltd, pepperjack - it appears you have to choose open with, as opposed to going to the file properties.  it seems to have changed in 10.10
[01:21] <Hilikus> bastidrazor: ok, got it, i had to press alt. thanks a lot
[01:22] <ohzie> chaospsychex: I do recommend you use ssh though, it is much cleaner than what I am suggesting. Alternatively, proftpd is also probably a better, in the long run, option than vsftpd.
[01:22] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: Keep on pressing my accident =/
[01:22] <bastidrazor> Hilikus: right, was just going to say.
[01:22] <TehCodr> !partition
[01:22] <bastidrazor> that
[01:22] <Daevol> ActionParsnip: never mind, this might work: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats#Volume%20range%20anomalies
[01:22] <bastidrazor> Hilikus: i have dual monitors also with nvidia and this method worked
[01:22] <chaospsychex> i cant get proftpd to start
[01:22] <krabador> someone browsed SMB shares on android?
[01:23] <chaospsychex> im gonna try apache ftp server
[01:23] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: for a quick access via samba you should also just be able to right-click on a given folder and select sharing options then enable guest access.. and from windows \\hostname\folder
[01:23] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: You might want to disable the caps lock key completely. At the very least please look at your responses before hitting enter so that you can catch that you had caps lock on and fix it.
[01:23] <Ubunter> kk
[01:23] <ohzie> chaospsychex: Pardon the PM, but what i sent you is a quick way to set up a chroot for an ssh server.
[01:23] <chaospsychex> is samba already installed?
[01:23] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: can you keep helping me?
[01:24] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: I don't have any ideas currently.
[01:24] <Daevol> SUCCESS!!
[01:24] <pepperjack> chaospsychex: yeah
[01:24] <draven_sol> how do i properly format a drive for raid?
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: no, its optional
[01:24] <Cypher78> is ther some one here that helps newbs
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> !raid | draven_sol
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> Cypher78: all will
[01:25] <Cypher78> then this is the room i need
[01:25] <Ubunter> screw it im installing fadora
[01:25] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Like others have suggested, the alternate install CD will probably work for you.
[01:25] <ohzie> Ubunter: If you're having problems with ubuntu you're going to have more problems with fedora
[01:25] <v0lksman> hahahah
[01:25] <ohzie> Ubunter: but good luck. o7
[01:25] <danub> hey all, how can i install splash screens that i downloaded from gnome website?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> danub: splash screens for what?
[01:26] <draven_sol> ActionParsnip, my raid had a drive fail, i pulled the bad drive, put in the new, and need to know how to set the partition, ie primary vs extended, and type
[01:26] <danub> login screens i believe
[01:26] <krabador> i must restart samba, what i must type on terminal , on ubuntu 10.10?
[01:26] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: when i use the other CD, does it come with all the stuff?
[01:26] <bastidrazor> krabador: sudo service samba restart   or sudo service smb restart
[01:26] <ohzie> draven_sol: Do you have an mdadm raid?
[01:27] <Ubunter> Jordan_U: that it would come with with the normal CD?
[01:27] <Jordan_U> Ubunter: Yes. The resulting install is identical.
[01:27] <draven_sol> ohzie, yes
[01:27] <Ubunter> okay thats all i needed to know
[01:27] <Ubunter> thanks
[01:27] <toal193> no updates for maverick since 30/12, is that right?
[01:27] <krabador> bastidrazor, for both i've "unrecongnize service"
[01:27] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Progress No Bootable Partition
[01:28] <rats_> tiox I agree
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> toal193: I've seen some users on launchpad asking the same, looks like it.
[01:28] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: Assuming you get this error when trying to boot from USB, how did you prepare the USB drive?
[01:28] <danub> anyone know how to change the splash screens?
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> toal193: possibly the devs enjoying the xmas period, just like you did...
[01:28] <danub> http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter
[01:28] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: I didn't, just copy pasted, going to google how to make a partition now
[01:28] <danub> downloaded from that page, how do i make it the active login screen
[01:29] <ohzie> draven_sol: I think that once the device has an identifier you can just be like mdadm -add /dev/md0 /dev/sdh1
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> danub: all you can change on the login screen is the wallpaper and the colour of the login box, those things are for gdm1, the currently supported ubuntus use gdm2
[01:29] <ohzie> draven_sol: substitute MD and SD device identifiers as needed
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> draven_sol: i don't use raid, and if I did i certainly wuldnt use software raid
[01:29] <draven_sol> ohzie, thanks, i ended up doing a fdisk -l on a good drive to see how they were partitioned
[01:30] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: Follow the directions @ http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[01:30] <danub> damn, so all the things i just downloaded i cant even use?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> danub: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> danub: you could use the wallpaper maybe
[01:30] <Rogueboy> Jordan_U: Danke
[01:30] <Jordan_U> Rogueboy: Bitte.
[01:31] <bj0> i tried modifying rsyslogd's startup parameters by editing /etc/default/rsyslog , but when i restart the service, it seems to ignore it and start up with the default "-c4" anyway
[01:31] <Cypher78> so what should be the first thing a newb learns
[01:31] <bj0> anyone mess with this before?
[01:31] <clarezoe> hi, anyone knows how check the archives for this channel?
[01:32] <Jordan_U> !logs | clarezoe
[01:32] <root_> hi someone here uses backtrack?
[01:32] <ohzie> Cypher78: The first thing an ubuntu noob should learn is how to read conf files.
[01:33] <ohzie> root_: A bit, what's up?
[01:33] <aboudreault_> hi folks
[01:33] <KM0201> !backtrack | root_
[01:33] <aboudreault_> Is there a 3d movie player for Linux yet?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> Cypher78: just use the OS and overcome obstacles as you go
[01:33] <aboudreault_> tried VLC and dragonplayer without succes....
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> clarezoe: how do you mean "archives"?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> root_: backtrack isnt supported or discussed here
[01:33] <Guest73132> hello
[01:34] <bj0> aboudreault_: totem, mplayer, probably several others
[01:34] <wrd> Cypher78: I think the most important thing you need to learn is how to deal with shortcomings and what you need to do to help yourself.
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> root_: also runing IRC clients as root is a really bad idea
[01:34] <lithpr> hi- i just accidently deleted my me menu- how do i get it back?
[01:34] <aboudreault_> bj0: ok thx, will try totem.
[01:34] <root_> how can i add repostory for mediabuntu on backtrack 4
[01:34] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | root_
[01:35] <aboudreault_> bj0: is there anything special to do in the player configuration?
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> lithpr: root_ your OS isn't supported here
[01:35] <bj0> aboudreault_: not really, depends on what you want
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> lithpr: sudo apt-get install indicator-me
[01:35] <aboudreault_> bj0: alright. will just try the default setting.
[01:36] <campbellgolf> anyone setup a SFTP server before?
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> campbellgolf: sudo apt-get install openssh-server   and you have one
[01:36] <lithpr> ActionParsnip, it says it's installed, but i don't have it as an option for "add to panel"
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> lithpr: it runs in the notification area. try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install indicator-me
[01:37] <campbellgolf> ActionParsnip  yeah, got one.  I'm trying to jail a set of users to a specific folder to share content.  Any ideas?
[01:38] <clarezoe> is adrian15 here?
[01:38] <danub> where is the trash can?
[01:38] <lithpr> oic- ActionParsnip it's just called Indicator Applet
[01:38] <lithpr> comes with the sound indicator too
[01:38] <lithpr> didn't know that was missing :)
[01:39] <danub> or the or the recyclebin, whatever
[01:39] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, happen to have this in my paste history... :)   http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny
[01:39] <aeon-ltd> danub: are you using nautilus?
[01:39] <campbellgolf> ActionPasrnip  when I modify the sshd_config to forum recommendations, the configuration blows up.
[01:39] <danub> beats me
[01:39] <red2kic> !trash | danub
[01:39] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: No, but ask your question and someone else will likely be able to help.
[01:40] <danub> but where did the icon go?
[01:40] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, what version of ubuntu?
[01:40] <danub> shouldn't it be on the desktop?
[01:40] <kcorcoran_> inhaled dinner...lol
[01:40] <campbellgolf> v0lksman  will read!
[01:41] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, for SFTP you only need steps 1 - 3...but only if you have openssh5.1 or higher
[01:41] <campbellgolf> v0lskman I'm using the latest Turnkey File Server, based on Ubuntu:  http://www.turnkeylinux.org/fileserver
[01:41] <moe> .
[01:42] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, hrm...never heard of that before...thanks!  :)  but check the version of openssh...if it's older than 5.1 you will be smashing your head for a bit
[01:42] <campbellgolf> v0lksman  np.. by chance have the command for that?  ssh --version or is that is?
[01:43] <v0lksman> dpkg -l|grep ssh should work
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> !info openssh-server
[01:43] <clarezoe> thanks Jordan_U. Because he helped me yesterday, and he knows my problems, if he is here, it will be easier. :)
[01:43] <v0lksman> campbellgolf, ^ that's what you want to see... :)
[01:43] <clarezoe> Here is my problem, my partitions are all unknown under gparted
[01:44] <clarezoe> I just changed my partition table
[01:44] <aboudreault_> mplayer complains about ac-3 atsc a/52 driver missing. the lib seems to be installed though
[01:44] <AutoMatriX> Hi folks
[01:45] <clarezoe> ActionParsnip: I found it :). i meant logs
[01:46] <campbellgolf> v0lksman  roger that, ssh 1:5.3p1-3ubuntu4... I'll read up on the link, thanks for your help.
[01:46] <WeThePeople> imac support
[01:47] <hiexpo> hola all
[01:47] <AutoMatriX> hiexpo, going to be polite, hi too ;)
[01:48] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[01:48] <hiexpo> ? is there a way to find all the un needed apps i have installed  and no longer use
[01:48] <WeThePeople> anybody know what channel  imac support is on
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: #apple  probably
[01:48] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  you got a second to go private?
[01:48] <hiexpo> sup ActionParsnip
[01:48] <plurrtard> Perhaps somebody can help me here. I use Ubuntu Netbook Remix and somehow managed to mess up GRUB. I've managed to get it out of grub rescue and into normal grub, but I can't seem to get my computer to boot any further than that.
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: yo
[01:49] <coz_> WeThePeople,   I dont see any imac channels on freenode  at least with this search
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> plurrtard: boot to livecd and reinstall grub to the disk
[01:49] <cmang> WeThePeople: imac support?  that would be the genius bar.
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> cmang: probably charges too, apple loves the cash and hates their users
[01:50] <OchoZero9> can i install ubuntu through a portable hard drive instad of a flash drive?
[01:50] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550461/ here it is
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: sure, same deal
[01:50] <cmang> ActionParsnip: everyone charges for tech support.
[01:50] <cmang> except irc.
[01:50] <WeThePeople> thx guys
[01:50] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: and here is the screenshot of gparted http://imagebin.ca/img/3oWoeypu.png
[01:50] <OchoZero9> ActionParsnip, how do i go about it if usb creator doesn't reckognize it
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: try unetbootin
[01:51] <OchoZero9> I'm on windows 7 btw
[01:51] <plurrtard> ActionParsnip: How do I go about doing that? I've read like 10 posts on the Ubuntu forums which all offer different solutions and none of them have worked yet.
[01:51] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: At the grub shell run this: search --set --file /boot/grub/grub.cfg; configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> plurrtard: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html
[01:51] <danub> how do i get the trash can to show up on my desktop or in my toolbar?
[01:52] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: You gave the wrong --root= argument to grub-install, which is why I prefer this guide using chroot over others: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[01:52] <hiexpo> danub, what version you using of ubunmtu
[01:52] <share> :)
[01:52] <javel> danub - add to panel
[01:52] <danub> 10.10
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> danub: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-the-trash-can-icon-to-your-ubuntu-desktop/
[01:53] <danub> got it, thanks
[01:53] <danub> wow... all that just to get a trash can to show up lol
[01:53] <hiexpo> its a magic can
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> danub: its quite simple, gconf is not disimilar to XP enabling the trash on desktop
[01:54] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: You can probably recover with testdisk.
[01:54] <red2kic> danub: Ubuntu Tweak can do the job... *shrug*
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: why use a 3rd party app when the OS can do it already?
[01:54] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: sure, i'll try it. any quick tips?
[01:54] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: Do *not* try to mount any partitions or do anything else with the disk untill you have fixed the partition table (with testdisk).
[01:54] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: Hence the *shrug* ;)
[01:55] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: ok
[01:55] <plurrtard> Thanks guys! 2 more places I haven't come across yet. Will try them and hope they work!
[01:55] <clarezoe> Jordan_U: what function of testdisk should i use?
[01:56] <|z00m|> anyone having problems with connecting to irc with ssl ? Connection failed. Error: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number
[01:56] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: "sudo testdisk", select create new log file, select your hard drive, select continue, select Intel, select Analyse, select quick search.
[01:57] <Jordan_U> clarezoe: After all that it will hopefully have a proposed new partition table.
[01:57] <|z00m|> im on XChat 2.8.6

[02:05] <Cypher78> it has python or something like that

[02:06] <jrib> moocawne: why don't you just double click on it?
[02:06] <Nanoha> is there a possibility the process is locking up?  how can I tell what processes are mucked up using terminal?
[02:06] <lucasdecastro> tojan_spike, i will try

[02:06] <twiggy> anyone here know how to bridge networks in ubuntu?
[02:06] <Nanoha> do I need any special arguments?
[02:07] <Nanoha> says I have 4 zombies
[02:07] <trojan_spike> Cypher78, sudo apt-get install usplash
[02:07] <moocawne> GeekSquid: Thanks very much, had unrar already installed, didn't realise I could just double click on it!
[02:07] <Cypher78> says unavailbe
[02:07] <GeekSquid> Nanoha: the zombies are prolly locking things up ... you will need to run sudo top to give yourself rights to kill any of them
[02:07] <Nanoha> I don't see any with a Z status
[02:08] <lucasdecastro> trojan_spike, all are updated! I tried upgrade gstreamer by hand, compiling source code, but it is very complex, and finished some dependencies...
[02:08] <rats_>              run sudo top to give yourself rights to kill any of them
[02:08] <lucasdecastro> trojan_spike ... finished breaking some dependencies.
[02:08] <Nanoha> is there a way to only list Zombies?
[02:09] <twiggy> heyyy anyone here know how to bridge networks??
[02:09] <trojan_spike> lucasdecastro, volume preferences,, change hardware to one of the others,, then back to your chosen one
[02:09] <dragonstone> is anyone aware of an open source replacement for car navigation systems? Similar to dd-wrt for routers.

[02:10] <jfer> i am trying to put music on an ipod touch using banshee it is stored in an ogg format what packages do i need so that it can be automatically converted by banshee?
[02:11] <trojan_spike> dragonstone, i know there is incar entertainment,, not sure about sat nav tho.. check forum?
[02:11] <GeekSquid> dragonstone: comes down to a workaround, but you have to have net access... maps.google.com with location services(gps)
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> jfer: try rhythmnbox
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> jfer: ipod cannot play ogg
[02:11] <RealOpty> where is the ;trash' stored?
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> jfer: gtkpod may help too
[02:12] <Nanoha> nope, neither one listed anything.  the -ef |grep Z listed the grep process only.
[02:12] <jfer> i realise that the ipod cannot play ogg banshee gave me an error saying that no transcoder was found
[02:12] <coz_> Nanoha,  mm  it listed them here  although I had on ly one zombie to find
[02:12] <twiggy> hey I am trying to bridge my network connections I need help it is not working

[02:14] <lucasdecastro> What the best way to reinstall my dist without lost current apps?
[02:14] <Nanoha> okay, thanks.  That listed all the processes, but I don't know which ones are Zombied.
[02:14] <coz_> Nanoha,  if you pipe  ps -A  with grep  you may be able to list the zombies alone

[02:17] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: MD5 test the ISO so you know its good
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> Adman65: look for the config file in $HOME/.config
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> Adman65: if you kill the process then delete the folder you will get vanilla settings

[02:38] <kcorcoran_> ld click.  i could right click on the top panel (only) and would see a few panel options.  that was it.  not sure what i would back up to thwart that.  any insight?

[02:44] <Egyptian1019> i have to type it in
[02:44] <Egyptian1019> should i just type that in?
[02:44] <cricketeer> I'm on Windows Vista currently and have Ubuntu 10.10 on a flash drive ready to install. When I boot up with Ubuntu from the flash drive, all seems well, but no internet. Eth0 doesn't work.
[02:44] <Nanoha> okay, i don't think my problem is with gdm.  I stop it, and i get dumped to a terminal, I start it, I see a black screen with  a mouse cursor.  It's like the login screen doesn't come up.  Does anybody know what thecommand to launch the login display is via remote terminal?

[02:45] <Philo> Does Ubuntu 11.04 have Gnome 3?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> home: you are authenticating against the Windows machine, so use your windows password
[02:45] <ikonia> home: if you are trying to mount a windows share in ubuntu, the password is for your windows login

[02:47] <ActionParsnip> home: its a thing with MSN Live messenger, read the link I gave you
[02:47] <ikonia> cricketeer: that's a broadcom I think, you'll need to connect over ethernet to download the firmware
[02:47] <ikonia> home: switch to windows 7 then
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> home: its why i keep it
[02:48] <cricketeer> Okay, how can I do that while in Ubuntu?
[02:48] <home> actionParsnip: thanks
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: its some nonsense with one of the services the live messenger throws in

[02:49] <ikonia> cricketeer: if you are physically connecting, why are you referencing a dell wirless card
[02:50] <cricketeer> Let me restate more clearly. I have a wireless card, but I'm plugged into ethernet.
[02:50] <ikonia> cricketeer: right, so what network card do you have
[02:50] <cricketeer> I just told you.
[02:50] <kieppie1> hi guys. I have what seems to be a bug on my system; my desktop icons & fonts are tiny, and I don't seem able to reset it. any ideas, please?
[02:50] <ikonia> cricketeer: you told me your wireless card, which you're not using as you are physcially plugged in
[02:51] <martin_>  ubuntu
[02:51] <cricketeer> I do use wireless when I take my laptop elsewhere.
[02:51] <cricketeer> Otherwise I just plug it in here at the desk.
[02:51] <martin_> how can i wipe my entire OS
[02:51] <ao1782> ACtionParsnip: ran gksuko... now what its too long to paste
[02:51] <ikonia> cricketeer: I'm talking about this exact moment, you are using cable and it's not working, so what is your cable network card model
[02:51] <ikonia> martin_: are you using the OS now ?
[02:51] <martin_> more clearly how can i erase all my data
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> ao1782: change dell-vostro   to dell   in the bottom line, exactly like I said earlier. I never said to paste anything, did I
[02:52] <cheater99> v0lksman: thanks for your help today! that really saved me!
[02:52] <cheater99> i'm off, bye guys!
[02:52] <GeekSquid> cricketeer: lemme see if I can understand this, you are online via a wire, which by default will be eth0 ... usually eth1 or wlan0 will come up as wireless .... or is it that you have absolutly no conectivity with this machine?
[02:52] <martin_> ikonia i meant i want to keep this OS but start from scratch
[02:52] <ikonia> martin_: you need to re-install it
[02:53] <martin_> crap
[02:53] <martin_> oh well thanks
[02:53] <Nanoha> YAY!  okay, I'm getting closer!  i ran "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"  then "sudo startx" in a remote terminal.  Now I see the background wallpapaer, but still no login screen!
[02:53] <cricketeer> I apologize, I don't know very much about this sort of thing. Let me think how best to restate myself.
[02:54] <ikonia> cricketeer: let me help you
[02:54] <ikonia> cricketeer: are you using a cable currently, yes/no
[02:54] <OchoZero9> how do i make a usb HDD bootable?
[02:55] <cricketeer> Yes, but it's not necessary. I can use this connection without plugging in an ethernet cable from the router to the laptop.
[02:55] <ikonia> cricketeer: just looking for yes/no answers
[02:55] <ao1782> thats likely the problem alsa base.conf doesn't have dell listed; just like 25 lines of code
[02:55] <ikonia> cricketeer: are you currently using a cable, yes/no
[02:55] <Nanoha> OchoZero9: OH  I know this one!  I just installed the USB in the slot, then installed the CD in the drive and let the installer install to the usb drive
[02:55] <cricketeer> Yes.
[02:55] <ikonia> cricketeer: is that cable connection currently working yes/no
[02:55] <cricketeer> Yes.
[02:56] <GeekSquid> cricketeer: System>Admin>HardwareDrivers ... Activate the broadcom driver
[02:56] <ikonia> cricketeer: are you trying to connect to a wirless network while the cable is still plugged in yes/no
[02:56] <cricketeer> I'm trying to connect to ANYTHING.
[02:56] <cricketeer> I'm using Vista right now.
[02:56] <OchoZero9> Nanoha, I don't have a CD drive, and my usb hard drive is not a flash drive, so usbcreater didn't work
[02:57] <ikonia> cricketeer: so does the cable connection not work in ubuntu yes/no

[02:57] <cricketeer> No.
[02:57] <michaelgamble> seems my flash player isn't stable in my google chrome
[02:57] <michaelgamble> :p
[02:58] <ikonia> cricketeer: right, so we need the make of the network card that's not working
[02:58] <cricketeer> Okay, where in Vista can I go to find that?
[02:59] <ikonia> cricketeer: ask the guys in ##windows
[02:59] <cricketeer> You're joking...
[02:59] <ikonia> no
[03:00] <cricketeer> As far as I know, the make is a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. It is manufactured by broadcom.
[03:00] <ikonia> cricketeer: that's the wireless card
[03:00] <ikonia> cricketeer: please verify the card make/model
[03:00] <cricketeer> It's the only card I have.
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> michaelgamble: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf    Thanks
[03:01] <ikonia> cricketeer: I can't be bothered any more, I'm not begging you for information, you have two network cards, a wired and a wirless,
[03:01] <cricketeer> I didn't know that.
[03:01] <JonLoeffler> Why can't i install simon?
[03:01] <ikonia> cricketeer: you did, as you told me you had a wired and a wireless, I'm not interested anymore,
[03:02] <cricketeer> You misunderstood.

[03:03] <ikonia> GeekSquid: we are not supporting/helping use windows,
[03:04] <chaospsychex> yeah that's right,windows suxorz!
[03:04] <cricketeer> I'm trying to connect in Ubuntu before I install.
[03:04] <cricketeer> Hence, #Ubuntu.
[03:04] <chaospsychex> connect to what?
[03:04] <cricketeer> I believe I haven't worded my queries correctly. My fault -- lack of expertise.
[03:04] <GeekSquid> ikonia: however, in order to support this person we need to know what kind of hardware this person has, so we can support ubuntu
[03:04] <CloseCall> hello, is there anyone with some experience with rsync ?
[03:04] <ikonia> chaospsychex: please don't make pointless comments like windows suzorz
[03:04] <ikonia> GeekSquid: yes, so you can either take it to pm or ##windows, not here
[03:05] <chaospsychex> ikonia: *suxorz! ;-P
[03:05] <cricketeer> Geek: I'll get the info and tell you. It's okay. We don't want to upset the balance of the universe.
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> CloseCall: in what sense
[03:05] <kieppie1> hi guys.   I just want to refresh my install with a clean install
[03:06] <CloseCall> i have been copying a large mailstore with rsync over the last few days
[03:06] <CheetoBandito> Anyone have experience with joining multicast groups on multiple interfaces in >= 10.04 ?
[03:06] <ikonia> Nanoha: no
[03:06] <oguardian2> kieppie1: is it gnome desktop?
[03:06] <kieppie1> oguardian2: correct
[03:06] <CloseCall> and it has finally finished but the if i run a du -sh  on the folder the sizes differ
[03:06] <CloseCall> the new one is larger
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> Nanoha: backup what you need and reinstall
[03:06] <ikonia> CloseCall: different disk/block size may make it appear slightly different
[03:07] <ikonia> CloseCall: how different is it
[03:07] <oguardian2> kieppie1: perhaps you can try temporarily moving .gconf and .gnome directories so that they are recreated
[03:07] <CloseCall> as in 200G
[03:07] <CloseCall> but
[03:07] <ikonia> CloseCall: ok, that's very different, 200GB is not a minor difference
[03:07] <CloseCall> i did rsync without the --delete option
[03:07] <CheetoBandito> I believe we may have found a bug
[03:07] <kieppie1> oguardian2: thanks. I'll try that
[03:08] <Nanoha> okay.  I was hoping to just be able to fix the problem without being so dramatic
[03:08] <CloseCall> so the files on the destination is problaly email that customers retrivied via pop during the day
[03:08] <Nanoha> I don't think i'll ever be doing any kind of upgrading in the future again.  This was a horrible experiance.
[03:08] <ikonia> CloseCall: 200gb is still a big difference, even for an active mail service
[03:08] <CloseCall> but i am a little hasitent to run it with the --delete option because i do not want to screw up 8 night shifts of syncing
[03:09] <cricketeer> GeekSquid: Got it. My "Network adapters" are: Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet, and Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. (Didn't know I had two...)
[03:09] <delinquentme> is the UBUNTU server editiona fairly like the NORMAL desktop ubuntu version??
[03:09] <CloseCall> mm not really we have 80K of emailboxen
[03:09] <Nanoha> delinquentme: no
[03:09] <ikonia> CloseCall: still 200gb is a LOT
[03:09] <CloseCall> there goes allot of email through that
[03:09] <Nanoha> it is TERMINAL only by default
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: it comes with no desktop, if you need a desktop with mouse interactivity, install desktop
[03:09] <CloseCall> but when i do a dry-run with the delete option
[03:09] <delinquentme> Nanoha, ohhhh ok
[03:09] <delinquentme> thanks guys
[03:09] <Nanoha> np
[03:10] <CloseCall> rsync indeed says there are differences in the src and dst
[03:10] <CloseCall> and wants to remove files in the dst
[03:10] <oguardian2> cricketeer: one ethernet and one wireless.  virtually all laptops have "two"
[03:10] <cricketeer> Neat.
[03:10] <CloseCall> and when i check that by hand rsync is right
[03:10] <w1n5ton0> What is the command to execute a .jar with openjdk?
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> w1n5ton0: jave -jar filename.jar
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> java -jar filename.jar   sorry
[03:11] <cricketeer> While running Ubuntu from my flash drive, it does try to install some sort of Broadcom update, but I can't connect to anything, so naturally that's not feasible.
[03:11] <w1n5ton0> That launches Sun Java though
[03:11] <ikonia> CloseCall: seems like you've solved your own issue, just need to actually run it
[03:12] <OmnipotentEntity> hey guys, I'm having a problem with my printer, hpijs is segfaulting causing the error "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" any ideas?

[03:12] <OmnipotentEntity> it's an HP OfficeJet 6000
[03:12] <CheetoBandito> theres an environment variable for the JRE
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> cricketeer: has a method to use the files on the liveCD to instal chepo broadcom 43xx wirelesses
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> OmnipotentEntity: grab the latest HPLIP from the HPLIP site and install it
[03:14] <tsjackson> hi
[03:14] <cricketeer> Thanks Action, thanks ubottu. I'll look over the page you sent me and see what I can accomplish.
[03:14] <oguardian2> ActionParsnip: how do you know what other things ubottu has in its memory?
[03:14] <cricketeer> If it's no dice, I'll pop in later. Thanks a bunch everyone.
[03:15] <OmnipotentEntity> ActionParsnip, is there a .deb package for it?  I'm installing this on my gf's computer, and I'd rather it take care of itself with the updates.
[03:15] <OmnipotentEntity> or an rpm that I can convert via alien?
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> OmnipotentEntity: it comes in a script form, just mark it as executable and run it.

[03:24] <plurrtard> I'm back, and still from a LiveUSB. Perhaps I can explain my situation a little better now: Yesterday, I went to boot Windows XP from GRUB (I dual boot Ubuntu Netbook Remix) and accidentally hit the Windows Recovery option. Windows Recovery came up and I hit 'Cancel' when it gave me the "Are you sure you want to do this" message. My computer rebooted into GRUB recovery. I booted from LiveUSB and have tried just about everything Goog
[03:24] <plurrtard> le offered me to no avail. When I do an 'fdisk -l' -- my ubuntu partition (/dev/sda4) shows up as "Unknown" under "System". I can't mount it or do anything with it because I keep getting "you must specify a filetype" errors. Can anyone please help me either fix this problem or at least recover some files?
[03:24] <DaGeek247> !topic
[03:24] <GeekSquid> DaGeek247: try /topic
[03:24] <DaGeek247> did. look:
[03:25] <KM0201> ah...
[03:25] <DaGeek247> didnt work. :/
[03:25] <KM0201> GeekSquid: you're a pretty smart feller
[03:25] <KM0201> DaGeek247: yeahit does
[03:25] <DaGeek247> dont see the topic...
[03:25] <chaospsychex> whats the ubuntu offtopic channel?
[03:25] <trench> plurrtard: is the partition big?
[03:25] <KM0201> !offtopic | chaospsychex
[03:26] <KM0201> DaGeek247: when you type "/TOPIC" you don't see the channel topic?
[03:26] <GeekSquid> KM0201: are you talking good about me, now people are going to expect things from me
[03:26] <plurrtard> trench: My ubuntu partition is 90GB
[03:26] <KM0201> GeekSquid: hey, i never knew you could do that..lol
[03:27] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Most of your data may be gone if the recovery utility overwrote your Ubuntu partition.
[03:28] <Nanoha> does anybody know what "gdbm" is?  I got a fatal: read error when I tried to install xserver-xorg
[03:28] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Try using the utility testdisk to see if it's just a problem with your partition table. If testdisk can't find your ext partition then photorec may be able to recover some files.
[03:28] <trench> plurrtard: i would take a backup of it dd if=/dev/sda4 of=/path/to/backup.iso
[03:29] <trench> plurrtard: and then try to mount the iso
[03:30] <trench> plurrtard: so you have a backup
[03:30] <trench> plurrtard: you have ext3 or ext4 or the filesystem right?
[03:31] <plurrtard> trench: good idea. And yes, I believe it was ext4
[03:33] <jkoby> Hi all, I'm running 10.04 server, and I'm having issues getting a program to run.  http://pastebin.com/6SbNcV2a
[03:34] <jkoby> even though the file is in the current directory, bash doesn'tbelieve it's there.
[03:34] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: testdisk is recognizing the partition as Linux
[03:34] <goetter> jkoby sounds confusing!
[03:35] <jkoby> goetter: it really is.  mc shows it with a * before the name, not sure what that means.
[03:35] <goetter> try chmod 777 hld* and try again
[03:35] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Good, does it have an option to write the new partition table to disk?
[03:35] <bindi> jkoby: try sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1
[03:35] <jkoby> nope, same thing, goetter
[03:35] <bindi> jkoby: google suggests that
[03:35] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Yes. Should I do that?
[03:36] <jkoby> bindi: sure enough! thanks for the help. :)
[03:36] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: First make sure that you have the output of "sudo fdisk -lu" saved somewhere.
[03:37] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Once you have that output saved somewhere then yes, select "Write".

[03:39] <timdawn> make*
[03:41] <Diamondcite> timdawn: IRC servers try to get the domain returned from the reverse DNS of the IP connecting.
[03:41] <Diamondcite> timdawn: So unless the IP resolves to that domain it shouldn't do that?
[03:42] <timdawn> but how do ppl get all them crazy<EMAIL_ADDRESS>in IRC? on their shell/bot accounts
[03:42] <timdawn> its threw a domain
[03:42] <Diamondcite> timdawn: SOME IRC servers support virtual hosts. That is network dependent.
[03:43] <rewt> and some shells have an ip block, one ip per hostname
[03:43] <Jordan_U> timdawn: Try asking in #freenode.
[03:44] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Alright, the partition table was written to the disk
[03:44] <timdawn> ok ty

[03:56] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: Where are you trying to recover the files to?
[03:56] <Steve973> anyone know of something deployable that will give users the ability to upload files via a web interface?
[03:56] <GeekSquid> !br | tkcientista
[03:56] <CoCo_Kid594> anyone use old legecy video?  my problem is if I try and add a video card it locks uo halfway through the bootup.  i have several pci slots..   I know it can do it because under a old copy of knopix i get hte vido modes I want.
[03:57] <GeekSquid> Steve973: php will do that with ease ... just look on google for a php based file upload script
[03:57] <tkcientista> I know
[03:57] <tkcientista> just i write in the wrong channel
[03:58] <Steve973> GeekSquid, I say "deployable" because I don't want to use a library and develop the capability.
[03:58] <chaospsychex> ?
[03:58] <CoCo_Kid594> Other then that I love ubuntu.. i am running it on a proliant blade server and an old LH3 but having major issues with the video..
[03:58] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: the home/ubuntu folder on the LiveUSB. It didn't really give me any other options.
[03:58] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: That actually just writes to RAM (will go away when you reboot).
[03:59] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: You'll need to mount another drive / partition to restore the files to.
[04:00] <shishirdwivedi20> hey anyone would tell me name of software which can cut the video file and convert it to mp3 file

[04:02] <kelwynsa8> Question: How do I install Flash on Ubuntu 10.10 amd64? Have tried via USC.
[04:03] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Hmm...Is it trying to copy the entire partition? The biggest drive I have is 2GB.
[04:03] <GeekSquid> Steve973: you are running a webserver, HTTP POST FileUpload in apache is what does what you want, but really there isn't any development to do what you want, as it has already been done
[04:03] <kelwynsa8> scratch that, installed!
[04:03] <xangua> kelwynsa8: try the 64bit flash plugin, you can install it easily with a ppa, google for: flash 64 ppa
[04:03] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: It will try to copy all of the files from the partition that it can recover, yes.
[04:05] <GSF1200S> i have ubuntu installed on my moms computer with an old pentium 3 and ddr1 ram. I ordered a new motherboard, ddr2 ram, and core2duo processor to put in her computer. My question: does the ubuntu installer determine what drivers are needed and configure the kernel that way, or does it run checks every boot?
[04:06] <adnap> i think i know part of the problem.  rfkill says that my wireless is hard blocked: http://pastebin.com/cHXugWi4
[04:06] <GSF1200S> Im just wondering if ill need to recompile the kernel to her new hardware, or if it will automatically load the proper modules at boot
[04:07] <adnap> whoo, got it working with sudo rfkill unblock all
[04:08] <adnap> not sure why it was blocked in the first place.  is there any reason why something should be blocked?
[04:08] <Gartral> GSF1200S, your upgrade will have no ill effects as long as the kernel will run on the mobo
[04:08] <tristan3199us1> im having an issue with .torrent file types.. if i open a file from the file system it opens in transmission like i want.. but if i click on a link to one in firefox it opens in ktorrent... it seems firefox is associating my torrents with ktorrent and i have no idea how to fix it..
[04:09] <sacarlson> adnap: yes when your on an aircraft and you don't want to radiate
[04:09] <GSF1200S> Gartal: yeah, ok.. makes sense. The chipsets are supported by the linux kernel (mobo), so I should be good to go.. I guess ubuntu just runs scripts at boot to check for chipset requirements right? Cool..
[04:09] <adnap> sacarlson: why was it blocked in the first place?
[04:09] <adnap> sacarlson: i admit i don't really know exactly what this program does

[04:13] <tonsofpcs> stevecam: not sure, i don't have nautilus here, just check in preferences/options
[04:13] <GeekSquid> dragonstone: builtin to a car?
[04:13] <GSF1200S> stevecam: open nautilus and go into its preferences section- disable previews
[04:13] <GSF1200S> might actually be able to do it in the view menu..
[04:14] <stevecam> i open a folder and instead of opening the folder it will open the folder in multimedia player
[04:14] <dragonstone> GeekSquid, naw. Aftermarket Pioneer unit.
[04:14] <xangua> stevecam: right clic in a directory> open with other app> set "open directory" or something like that (spanish locale here)
[04:14] <GSF1200S> tonsofpcs: wouldnt stevecams problem be a bad mimetype or whatever?
[04:14] <Guest58704> My  teminal has no closing or minimizing buttons ....please help me
[04:14] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Alright, looks like I can't do anything else tonight then.
[04:14] <xangua> Guest58704: metacity --replace
[04:15] <tonsofpcs> maybe?
[04:15] <tonsofpcs> could be a permissions issue with the folder too
[04:15] <stevecam> GSF1200S, nautilus doesn't open up, the media player does, so how do i change the settings for this
[04:15] <tonsofpcs> like, if the folder has rw but not x and has a name that matches a mime filter...
[04:15] <plurrtard> Jordan_U: Thank you so much for all the help1
[04:15] <GSF1200S> stevecam: WHERE are you opening the folder from? Desktop?
[04:15] <trench> Pendrag0n: http://everythinglinux.org/rsync/ read about it here?
[04:15] <GSF1200S> because the desktop IS nautilus..
[04:16] <Guest58704> metacity ?plase describe it....
[04:16] <Jordan_U> plurrtard: You're welcome.
[04:16] <stevecam> GSF1200S, same thing happens when i open it up from the desktop and places menu
[04:16] <GeekSquid> dragonstone: I am afraid you'll never be able to flash that unit, pioneer might provide updates... what I said "thinking laptop... you would need a internet connection, gps connected, and google maps... I don't think you'll get that device to accept anything but pioneers' software
[04:16] <GSF1200S> stevecam: open a terminal and run: nautilus
[04:16] <GSF1200S> see what the terminal spits out and see if it opens nautilus
[04:17] <dragonstone> GeekSquid. darn. thanks
[04:17] <GSF1200S> alternatively, you can install thunar if you need immediate access to files while we fix this issue
[04:17] <stevecam> GSF1200S, it opens
[04:18] <GSF1200S> ok, check the preferences and see if you can change what the default is for opening folders
[04:18] <Guest58704> please describe about metacity
[04:18] <trench> what do you mean?
[04:18] <Guest58704> what is the terminal conmmand..
[04:18] <GSF1200S> also, try System--> administration/preferences and look for preferred applications- im sorry im not on gnome so im a little foggy on where it is
[04:20] <trench> Guest58704: what do you want todo?
[04:20] <stevecam> GSF1200S, i can not find anything in either spot that would explain what is happening
[04:21] <Guest58704> i want to show minimizing and closing button on terminal....please help me
[04:21] <GSF1200S> stevecam: hmmm.. im thinking
[04:22] <trench> Guest58704: not started any wm?
[04:22] <Guest58704> trench:describe about command on terminal to show it..
[04:22] <StrangeCharm> can i call gnome-terminal so that it opens multiple tabs, each of which has a particular command in it?
[04:23] <Guest58704> terminaltrench:no
[04:23] <Krishnandu> Hi, I use this makefile to compile a program http://fpaste.org/esmu/, can anyone tell me the commandline to compile the same?? Sorry I don't understand makefiles.
[04:23] <mister_m> why does VLC open and try to play everything in my home folder when I go to PLaces> home folder
[04:23] <naryfa> StrangeCharm: If I'm not mistaken you have to edit your ~/.bashrc
[04:23] <stevecam> mister_m, i am having the exact same problem
[04:23] <mister_m> stevecam, did you just install eclipse?
[04:24] <stevecam> no
[04:24] <mister_m> stevecam, wireshark?
[04:24] <stevecam> no
[04:24] <mister_m> stevecam, then IDK WTF I did
[04:24] <GSF1200S> man, two people with this problem.. hmmmm
[04:24] <naryfa> :)
[04:25] <trench> never seen that before on the same channel :P
[04:25] <stevecam> mister_m, if we both hang around here we have more chances of getting this problem solves
[04:25] <naryfa> it's a timeloop
[04:25] <StrangeCharm> naryfa, ugh, editing my bashrc is second only to clawing out my eyes in things that i don't want to do
[04:25] <stevecam> solved
[04:25] <sandeep_> thetr is no closing or minimizing button ...please help me...
[04:25] <mister_m> stevecam, do tell
[04:25] <GeekSquid> Krishnandu: I'll ask you to take that question to #c++ , not really on topic for here so please /join #c++
[04:25] <trench> Krishnandu: do a apt-cache show checkinstall
[04:26] <trench> an
[04:26] <sandeep_> In my terminal ,there is no minimizing or closing button ...please help me..
[04:26] <GSF1200S> stevecam: when did this start happening?
[04:26] <stevecam> earlier in the week
[04:26] <GeekSquid> trench: compiler questions are offtopic for this channel
[04:26] <crooks3o6> sandeep_: ctrl-D or exit will close the term
[04:26] <GSF1200S> mister_m: how about you?
[04:26] <Krishnandu> GeekSquid, I tried them first, they says this is not specific to C or C++
[04:26] <trench> GeekSquid: he asked so then i figured he could check it out :P
[04:27] <mister_m> GSF1200S, I just noticed it now
[04:27] <GeekSquid> Krishnandu: well for one, you will need a compiler environment ... sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:27] <GSF1200S> out of curiousity, what happens if you guys REMOVE vlc?
[04:27] <sandeep_> crooks3o6:please tell me the terminal command to show it..
[04:28] <mister_m> GSF1200S, I havemn't tried that
[04:28] <trench> GeekSquid: i belive if he just did sudo apt-get checkinstall it would install all the deps right?
[04:28] <GSF1200S> give it a shot- its easy to reinstall
[04:28] <mister_m> that would be the next step
[04:28] <stevecam> ok, i have just found a solution
[04:28] <Krishnandu> GeekSquid, I have that, the problem is I want the command to compile without using that makefile
[04:28] <GSF1200S> maybe something in the gnome registry (gconf-editor)
[04:28] <stevecam> it doesn't address why the problem happened in the first place but i will go through it with you mister_m
[04:29] <sandeep_> please tell me ....how to involve metacity
[04:29] <sandeep_> what is metacity
[04:29] <GSF1200S> stevecam: yeah i agree- crap like this shouldnt happen, especially to 2 people. Bug for sure..
[04:29] <sandeep_> what is the terminal, command for it..
[04:29] <GeekSquid> trench: seems you can help with this, would you take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:30] <mister_m> GSF1200S, it landed on some music by The Smiths, and started playing it - I was like: "well, okay ... but I'm still asking about this"
[04:30] <reya276> How can I make Krita look the same visually in Ubuntu as it does in Kubuntu/KDE?
[04:31] <stevecam> right-click on a folder that is on your desktop and select the option "Other Application" in the "Open With" sub menu, then you need to go through the list and select file browser, make sure that you have checked the box "Remember this application" and press open
[04:32] <Kiwi__> hi
[04:32] <mister_m> you know I must have downloaded something and accidentally checked that
[04:32] <mister_m> for vlc
[04:32] <stevecam> no, i think it is something that got messed up in an update
[04:32] <GSF1200S> i agree with stevecam
[04:32] <stevecam> the ubuntu team need to address this problem
[04:32] <mister_m> stevecam, I guess its always possible
[04:33] <Guest39539> can i creat iso file form the ubuntu which is currently running in my machine
[04:33] <Guest39539> ??
[04:33] <Blue1> Guest39539: yes with dd
[04:33] <mister_m> stevecam, good thinking with the fix though
[04:33] <soreau> Guest39539: Probably not without a second burner
[04:33] <stevecam> mister_m, it isn't choosing VLC, it is choosing your default media player that so happens to be VLC
[04:33] <sacarlson> Guest39539: or remastersys
[04:33] <soreau> ! backup | Guest39539
[04:34] <AbhiJit> radio tray is not working
[04:34] <Blue1> Guest39539: i use rsync to backup.
[04:34] <AbhiJit> help
[04:34] <GSF1200S> Blue1: +1
[04:34] <stevecam> and it needs to be address pretty quickly too, not everyone is good at fixing problems that is why they use ubuntu in the first place
[04:34] <Guest39539> Blue1, so rsync ??
[04:35] <Blue1> Guest39539: or the gui grsync
[04:35] <Blue1> AbhiJit: radio tray?
[04:35] <AbhiJit> Blue1, yes
[04:36] <stevecam> mister_m, im going to leave this as a bug report with ubuntu, when did you notice that this was happening?
[04:36] <Blue1> AbhiJit: well there I don't know what that is, I don't have one, can you tell me what it is?
[04:36] <AbhiJit> Blue1, http://radiotray.sourceforge.net/
[04:37] <mister_m> stevecam, after i did apt-get install eclipse wireshark
[04:37] <Blue1> AbhiJit: on my way.
[04:37] <zoLevDotCom> :-)
[04:37] <stevecam> mister_m, did you install any updates?
[04:37] <mister_m> stevecam, I can't remember.
[04:37] <schambers> how can i re-run 10.10 server setup to get back into network setup. iwconfig isn't installed and i need it to connect to a wireless network
[04:38] <Blue1> AbhiJit: I have never seen that but tell me more about your issue.
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> schambers: is wicd available on the server cd?
[04:38] <sacarlson> schambers: you sure you didn't forget to use sudo iwconfig ?
[04:39] <AbhiJit> Blue1, when i click on channel name it just goes in 'connecting to' state and then nothing happens
[04:39] <schambers> hmm
[04:39] <schambers> sacarlson: it tells me command not installed, do apt-get install iwconfig to install it
[04:39] <Blue1> AbhiJit: but does it work on another channel?  if so, then it is an issue with the site.
[04:39] <schambers> ActionParsnip: hmm. not sure. is that the server config app?
[04:40] <AbhiJit> Blue1, no
[04:40] <Blue1> AbhiJit: private messge ok?
[04:40] <barf_barf> i have / installed to a sd card , I want to clone it and move the files off then put them back on exactly as it was before
[04:40] <AbhiJit> Blue1, ok but why?
[04:40] <massmc> hello everyone.. How do I stop the ballon notifications top right in gnome??? Ive looked everywhere
[04:41] <sacarlson> schambers: maybe the server aditions is different I see no iwconfig package in the repository
[04:41] <stevecam> fuck this, cant be bothered reporting a bug, the launchpad site is playing up
[04:41] <Blue1> AbhiJit: well I wanted to explore some debugging issues with you, and it is hard to do that in this channel -
[04:41] <schambers> hmm
[04:41] <IdleOne> !language | stevecam
[04:41] <schambers> how can i auto-detect wireless config?
[04:41] <schambers> all i see is loopback in /etc/network/interfaces
[04:41] <stevecam> if somebody else wants to do report a bug about this then they can go right ahead, it would be nice if people had a working captcha on there website
[04:42] <schambers> it seems as if it is in the server setup under manual package selection according to this forum post
[04:42] <GeekSquid> stevecam: launchpad uses openid, hence no need for captcha
[04:42] <schambers> but how can i get back into the package selection after i have already installed ubuntu server
[04:42] <stevecam> i dont have an openid, so i was registering
[04:42] <AbhiJit> Blue1, ok come in pm
[04:43] <soreau> schambers: Have you tried specifying the full path to iwconfig? /sbin/iwconfig
[04:43] <shtepsel> seen
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> schambers: you can use iwconfig to configure wifi at cli, wicd has wicd-curses which will give an ncurses gui to wicd
[04:43] <shtepsel> where is the

[04:43] <schambers> iwconfig isnt installed on ubuntu server by default
[04:43] <shtepsel> seen serv ?
[04:43] <schambers> it looks like i need to select it
[04:43] <IdleOne> shtepsel: no we don't
[04:43] <schambers> how can i get back into the server setup?
[04:45] <trench> schambers: you don't need to go into the server setup to install something
[04:46] <schambers> off the cd?
[04:47] <srini> could not open scanner ICM profile in Ubuntu how to solve this problem?
[04:47] <michaelgamble> hey anyone here framiliar with the tool Charles?
[04:48] <michaelgamble> it tracks all http requests allows you to analyze the data for troubleshooting while doing webdev
[04:48] <trench> schambers: just do sudo apt-get install packageyouwanttoinstall
[04:48] <skorv> in your expert view what may crash networkig service?
[04:48] <schambers> trench: will that install it locally?
[04:48] <schambers> or go out to the net to install it?
[04:48] <trench> schambers: yes
[04:48] <michaelgamble> im wondering if anyone knows of something open source that i can install into ubuntu
[04:48] <michaelgamble> similar to Charles
[04:49] <trench> schambers: it depends on your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[04:49] <michaelgamble> its a web debugging proxy
[04:49] <skorv> ubuntu server 10.04 + bind + dhcp3
[04:49] <schambers> yeah, right now i cant get to the net to install it
[04:49] <schambers> how can i tell aptitude to search the cd
[04:49] <hendaus> how can i get jdownloader on ubuntu natty?
[04:49] <schambers> i have the cd in the drive

[05:01] <Guest83473> but doesnt works
[05:01] <Guest83473> doesn't boot using usb
[05:01] <witzz> Hi everyone
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> home: then you need to share the resource in windows, support for windows is in ##windows
[05:01] <chaospsychex> what
[05:02] <chaospsychex> you said you installed ubuntu from usb right?
[05:02] <bonjoyee> Guest83473: how did u "install" the iso?
[05:02] <Guest83473> no
[05:02] <Guest83473> in sb
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: how did you transfer the ISO to the USB device?
[05:02] <Guest83473> i create usb boot
[05:02] <chaospsychex> with unetbootin ?
[05:02] <Guest83473> using the app
[05:02] <witzz> How to copy ipa files to ipod 2g?
[05:02] <Guest83473> contained in ubuntu
[05:02] <trench> witzz: not the channel for that
[05:02] <witzz> Sorry
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: oh, usb-creator
[05:03] <Guest83473> yes
[05:03] <trench> witzz: but use sftp
[05:03] <chaospsychex> witzz are you trying to boot from your ipod to install ubuntu ?
[05:03] <Guest83473> no
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: ok, did you MD5 test the ISO before using it?
[05:03] <witzz> No
[05:03] <Guest83473> I installed with cd
[05:03] <Guest83473> but cdrom doesn't works anymore
[05:03] <witzz> I'm trying copy some progs to it
[05:03] <Guest83473> iso is right
[05:04] <trench> chaospsychex: ipa files is apple apps
[05:04] <bonjoyee> Guest83473: how old/new is your pc? does i support usb boot?
[05:04] <Guest83473> yesd
[05:04] <Guest83473> it has option to boot
[05:04] <bonjoyee> it*
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: did you check the ISO you downloaded before transferring to the USB device?
[05:04] <Guest83473> yes
[05:04] <Guest83473> it works
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: ok what happens when you try to boot?
[05:04] <Guest83473> nothing
[05:04] <chaospsychex> ActionParsnip: i've never understood the whole md5 check thing,what is it and why is it needed?
[05:04] <Guest83473> boot in hd
[05:05] <chaospsychex> so nothing happens when you boot from hd?
[05:05] <trench> Guest83473: it should tell you an option maybe you have to push Esc or something like that to come into the bootmenu
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: its to make sure the image you downloaded is both complete and consistant. TCP does a good job of catching bit errors but it is not perfect
[05:05] <GeekSquid> trench: SHIFT is the new way with grub2
[05:05] <Guest85206> \nick Jocab
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: so MD5 is used to make sure the file is 100% perfect, a bad image will make a bad install
[05:05] <Guest83473> trench: I set usb as 1st boot device
[05:05] <trench> GeekSquid: depends if he got grub or not :P
[05:06] <chaospsychex> what are you trying to do guest?
[05:06] <chaospsychex> install ubuntu from usb onto hd?
[05:06] <Guest83473> yes
[05:06] <chaospsychex> and nothing happens when you select usb
[05:06] <Guest83473> alright
[05:06] <Guest83473> doesn't boot
[05:06] <bonjoyee> Guest83473: see if your bios has an option like F10 or F11...to select the device from which to boot
[05:07] <trench> Guest83473:  check if you have to push anything to get into the boot menu
[05:07] <jocab> heh.. i was trying to change nics.. its been about a decade since i was on irc
[05:07] <ozzloy> i plugged in an external drive and now i can't unmount it.  halp!
[05:07] <Guest83473> mm
[05:07] <Guest83473> i will try it again
[05:07] <trench> ozzloy: because?
[05:07] <Guest83473> D/
[05:07] <chaospsychex> he said he selected boot from usb and nothing happened
[05:07] <chaospsychex> guest
[05:07] <GeekSquid> jocab: welcome to ubuntu support! Is there anything we can help you with, now that you have your nick sorted?
[05:07] <chaospsychex> make the usb with unetbootin
[05:07] <Guest83473> ok
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> Guest83473: sdoes the system say the device isn't bootable, do you just get a black screen?
[05:07] <Guest83473> is in repositorys?
[05:07] <ozzloy> or "Safely Remove Drive" because "Daemon is inhibited"
[05:08] <jocab> nope, I think I'll just listen and learn, thanks
[05:08] <tripelb> ozzloy, maybe you have a places window open referring to that drive. Or are using a file.
