[08:28] <Gnea> ookz: sure.  let's start by listing which ones are actually installed:  dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep codec
[08:28] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, no, and i checked the CD media and the USB media. They say nothing is wrong.
[08:29] <systemd0wn> jsquared, "/bin/sh: startx: not found"
[08:29] <Gnea> ookz: lol, that's a pretty good background :)
[08:29] <jsquared> wow, it's not even starting bash?
[08:29] <systemd0wn> jsquared, correct :(
[08:29] <Tr3y-> That's weird as hell
[08:29] <jsquared> something is borked
[08:29] <Gnea> ookz: are you familiar with pastebin? try to get it transferred there.
[08:30] <Tr3y-> are you sure you didn't get a gentoo install cd? rofl
[08:30] <jsquared> lol Tr3y-
[08:30] <jsquared> systemd0wn: echo $PATH
[08:30] <jsquared> is usr/bin on there?
[08:30] <jsquared> */usr/bin
[08:30] <ookz> Gnea: Pastebin you lost me
[08:30] <Gnea> !pastebin | ookz
[08:30] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, haha... actually i was installing gentoo first. :P  That was taking to long and i gave up for now.
[08:30] <ookz> Gnea: wait one
[08:30] <Tr3y-> ookz: o.O !!! pastebin was the greatest thing ever created
[08:30] <Gnea> ookz: you got it
[08:31] <ookz> Tr3y: I r noob
[08:31] <dreadnaught11> question: so i was previously dual booting xp and ubuntu, but now i would like to delete xp and recover the space. how do i repartition the drive so i can use the space in ubuntu
[08:31] <Tr3y-> systed0wn: lol yea that one is time consuming
[08:31] <systemd0wn> jsquared, "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin"
[08:31] <jsquared> dreadnaught11: gparted
[08:31] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, the last time i used gentoo was like 2005 so it has been a while.
[08:32] <ookz> okay
[08:32] <ookz> ready
[08:32] <ookz> ffmpeg codecs
[08:32] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: I actually used FreeBSD for like 6 years and decided I wanted something different more stable of a desktop for wine  / wow lol
[08:33] <Gnea> ookz: now select the list and middle-click on the pastebin site to paste it, then submit. then just paste the URL it gives you here.
[08:33] <jsquared> Tr3y-: what happens if you type cat /etc/*-release?
[08:33] <Tr3y-> Tried gentoo didn't wanna spend the time on it so picked ubuntu great desktop distro imo
[08:33]  * prince_jammys has just written another 'pastebinit'
[08:33] <quibbler> dreadnaught11: cbilljones already told you : use gparted from live disc, delete windows and resize ubuntu
[08:33] <Tr3y-> jsquared: was that really inteded for systemd0wn?
[08:33] <systemd0wn> haha
[08:33] <jsquared> er
[08:33] <jsquared> oops, sorry
[08:33] <jsquared> yes
[08:34] <systemd0wn> jsquared, "/etc/*-release: no such file or dir
[08:34] <systemd0wn> "
[08:34] <Dreamglider> Goodmorning folks. last night i disconnected the monitor from my laptop, now when i plugged it back in this morning it wont come on/up, i have the reselution set to 3840x1200, i tried to switch to 1920x1200 and back but it's still black.
[08:34] <jsquared> systemd0wn: how about cat /proc/version?
[08:34] <ookz> Gnea: wait one
[08:34] <ichbinesderelch> Dreamglider: did you plug in the monitor when the laptop was already running or from boot?
[08:35] <systemd0wn> jsquared, linux version 2.6.27-7-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.3.2 (ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu10) )
[08:35] <ookz> okay
[08:35] <jsquared> looks normal. at least you're not running Gentoo :P
[08:35] <systemd0wn> jsquared, haha.
[08:35] <Tr3y-> >_<
[08:36] <Dreamglider> ichbinesderelch: the laptop was on(and displaying) when i unplugged the monitor. i did not shut down the laptop.
[08:36] <jsquared> can you sudo apt-get gnome and try running that? gnome is supposed to be part of the livecd
[08:36] <jsquared> (iirc)
[08:36] <ichbinesderelch> Dreamglider: maybe try to restart X
[08:37] <prince_jammys> systemd0wn: you can't start X from the live CD?
[08:37] <jsquared> the only thing I can think of is that you downloaded a LiveCD for the server install
[08:37] <Dreamglider> it usually comes up when i plug it in again, it's just wired it didnt turn on today
[08:37] <ookz> Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118355/
[08:37] <systemd0wn> jsquared, hrm. i can try, dont know if eth0 is there but i will check.
[08:37] <jsquared> prince_jammys: or gdm apparently
[08:37] <jsquared> systemd0wn: oh =/
[08:37] <yownanymous> hey here's a thing
[08:37] <yownanymous> what happens if you install gnome on a server install?
[08:37] <systemd0wn> prince_jammys, correct. i am at a busybox prompt. (initramfs)
[08:38] <systemd0wn> yownanymous, you get to use gnome just like it was a desktop. nothing bad happens.
[08:38] <yownanymous> systemd0wn: well can you still control the server software from there?
[08:38] <Tr3y-> yownanymous: Ubuntu Devs bust your door down actually for tinkering with an open source system!
[08:38] <jsquared> yownanymous: the server installs aren't much different from the desktop ones. mostly they just have different packages and different default configurations
[08:38] <yownanymous> Tr3y-: :D
[08:38] <yownanymous> I see
[08:38] <systemd0wn> jsquared, ya that isn't going to work.
[08:39] <yownanymous> so why don't they just deliver the server images with a GUI?
[08:39] <jsquared> systemd0wn: d'oh. and you said this livecd booted on a different machine into gnome, no sweat?
[08:39] <jsquared> yownanymous: it's smaller, lower footprint
[08:39] <ookz> Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118355/
[08:39] <Tr3y-> yownanymous: x / gnome take up resources you don't want to be used in a server setting
[08:39] <yownanymous> jsquared: Ah, is it morally wrong therefore to install a GUI? :P
[08:39] <jsquared> yownanymous: typically if you're using a server you want to start from ground zero and build up, so that you only take the pieces you need
[08:39] <yownanymous> ah I see
[08:39] <yownanymous> thing iss
[08:40] <Gnea> ookz: when you installed the codecs, do you recall how many packages were installed at the time?
[08:40] <systemd0wn> jsquared, :) ya. I said that i booted the cd in a computer (with a cdrom) and created my bootable USB drive. I get the install menu but when i make my selection it doesnt boot propersly (obviously)
[08:40] <yownanymous> what would you actually use a server for?
[08:40] <jsquared> e.g., no sense in opening ftp up if you're not going to be an ftp server
[08:40] <ookz> 3
[08:40] <homebrewcider> hey there, I'm running Xubuntu, I have a Canon MP610 printer/scanner, printer working okay, scanner not being recognized, don't know what to do next
[08:40] <yownanymous> homebrewcider: probably a driver problem?
[08:40] <jsquared> systemd0wn: oh, wait. so you never got to the desktop before?
[08:40] <Tr3y-> yownanymous: webserver, counterstrike server, router, email server, file server, w/e
[08:40] <ookz> anon here now
[08:40] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: what are you trying to boot with now USB or CD
[08:40]  * ookz amazed
[08:41] <yownanymous> Tr3y-: Can you convert an old computer to a server?
[08:41] <parveenks> jsquared: thanks it is working now
[08:41] <systemd0wn> jsquared, Not on the dell mini.
[08:41] <yownanymous> provided you have the equipment
[08:41] <jsquared> parveenks: hooray! :)
[08:41] <Tr3y-> yowanymous: yea...
[08:41] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, with the usb stick
[08:41] <parveenks> :)
[08:41] <yownanymous> sweet
[08:41] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: try the cd...
[08:41] <yownanymous> might try it with the dead system over there then
[08:41] <yownanymous> could use a server
[08:41] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, i will right now. gotta go grab a external cdrom. brb.
[08:41] <jsquared> parveenks: yeah, most of the time crufty config is hiding in gconf or a dot-directory in your home dir
[08:41] <Gnea> ookz: ok, now:  sudo apt-get remove libavcodec51 libspeex1 libwavpack1
[08:41] <prince_jammys> systemd0wn: perhaps you should try the alternate cd
[08:41] <jsquared> parveenks: deleting /usr/share stuff is overkill
[08:41] <ookz> Gnea: wait one
[08:41] <Tr3y-> yownanymous: its all about the software your using, if the PC is old enough go with a very lightweight distro though imo
[08:42] <parveenks> Yes anyway to restore it back
[08:42] <yownanymous> Tr3y-: Actually it's got alright specs but I think it has a bit of an outdated BIOS
[08:42] <unimatrix9> hi there
[08:42] <unimatrix9> how is it going you all?
[08:42] <jsquared> parveenks: I bz2 all my dot-directories every 4 hours for the last 60 days
[08:42] <jsquared> good to be able to roll back when needed :)
[08:42] <prince_jammys> systemd0wn: you can probably download, burn and try the alternate cd in the time it will take you to debug this
[08:43] <Dreamglider> who do i add volume control to the panel ?
[08:43] <jsquared> I do wish Ubuntu had a Time-Machine/System-Restore-like ability, though
[08:43] <systemd0wn> prince_jammys, ummm.. prolly not. :) i am on a shitty satcom connection.
[08:43] <ookz> Gnea: says cannot find libavcodec51
[08:43] <jsquared> systemd0wn: it sounds so much more James Bondish when you say satcom
[08:43] <unimatrix9> is there any news on the development of the nfs and ext4 ? what will be the next file system for ubuntu, any insights?
[08:44] <Gnea> ookz: the others are removed?
[08:44] <systemd0wn> jsquared, oh it is. Did i mention i'm in afghanistan right now?
[08:44] <ookz> Gnea: yes
[08:44] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: branch?
[08:44] <unimatrix9> Dreamglider, there should be an volume on the pane, if not right klick and add to panel
[08:44] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, Marines
[08:44] <quibbler> Dreamglider: right click on panel - add to panel - volume control
[08:44] <velko> unimatrix9, still ext3
[08:44] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: tbh I would've assumed Air Force
[08:44] <Gnea> ookz: okay, try the sound again
[08:44] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, haha. fuck that.
[08:44] <ookz> Gnea: Nothing
[08:44] <unimatrix9> velko , really? hmm, i thought they where working on an new files system
[08:44] <systemd0wn> :)
[08:44] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: Meh I hear we get it a little better over there :-P
[08:45] <yownanymous> unimatrix9: ext4 you mean?
[08:45] <jsquared> systemd0wn: you'd figure all the money we're not spending for your flak jackets and adequate protection would at least go towards a non-shitty comm link :P
[08:45] <unimatrix9> bfs, or nfs , or something like that
[08:45] <Dreamglider> quibbler: tks, i didnt see the vol icon the first time
[08:45] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, i can't argue with that.
[08:46] <velko> unimatrix9, btrfs ist still experimental. you're right, they will use ext4. but all this is off topic here
[08:46] <ookz> jsquared: your s6 must blow then
[08:46] <systemd0wn> jsquared, hahahaha. We are lucking to get toliet paper where i am.  It cracks me up.  Sometimes our comm goes down because they don't get us fuel in time.
[08:46] <unimatrix9> yes i see
[08:46] <prince_jammys> systemd0wn: any error messages?
[08:46] <unimatrix9> but interesting non the less
[08:46] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: what base?
[08:46] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: nvm you prolly shouldn't say
[08:46] <systemd0wn> prince_jammys, Tr3y-, jsquared, Ya i loaded the CD and it gives me the same thing. Must be a driver issue.
[08:47] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: how old is the laptop!
[08:47] <Gnea> ookz: ok, type 'id' and press enter - do you see the 'audio' group listed there someplace?
[08:47] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, ya. I can tell you i am with 3rd Battalion 8th Marines.... you could prolly google. :)
[08:47] <prince_jammys> systemd0wn: well, consider the alternate cd whenever you have the time. that'll probably work.
[08:47] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, BRAND NEW! it is a dell mini 12
[08:47] <jsquared> systemd0wn: that's possible. how old/new/bizarre is your video card?
[08:47] <jsquared> still doesn't make sense that you wouldn't at least have the VGA drivers available
[08:47] <nickrud> systemd0wn, just so you know, this channel gets logged and posted to the net
[08:47] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: OPSEC MAN!!!!!!! that shouldn't be on google lol
[08:47] <systemd0wn> i did a little google and someone mentions using Ubuntu Netbook Remix
[08:47] <prince_jammys> systemd0wn: did ubuntu complete installation?
[08:48] <jsquared> I mean, hell, I installed Ubuntu on my Blackberry =P
[08:48] <systemd0wn> Nickrud, thats fine.
[08:48] <ookz> Gnea: No I don't see it
[08:48] <jsquared> didn't work super-well though
[08:48] <unimatrix9> there is easy peasy, wich is for netbooks too
[08:48] <Gnea> ookz: what about pulse, pulse-access or pulse-rt?
[08:48] <systemd0wn> prince_jammys, no i can't even get to the live desktop to install
[08:49] <ookz> Gnea: negitive
[08:49] <unimatrix9> systemdOwn, how far does the installer get?
[08:49] <Gnea> ookz: paydirt. now:  System->Administration->Users & Groups
[08:49] <systemd0wn> unimatrix9, it starts loading with the spiffy GUI loading bar and then it drops me to the busybox shell
[08:49] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195
[08:50] <unimatrix9> systemdOwn , did you check the cdrom for errors?
[08:50] <ookz> Gnea: k
[08:50] <systemd0wn> unimatrix9, yes
[08:50] <Gnea> ookz: then, unlock it
[08:50] <ookz> Gnea: k
[08:50] <unimatrix9> systemdOwn , and tried napic etc options?
[08:50] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, i am looking into the bios right now. thanks
[08:51] <Gnea> ookz: select your username, then 'properties'
[08:51] <systemd0wn> unimatrix9, no i havent yet. good idea
[08:51] <ookz> k
[08:51] <Gnea> ookz: 'user privelages' tab, make sure 'Use audio devices' is checked
[08:52] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, that isn't going to work. i don't have the option to change my sata mode
[08:52] <ookz> Gnea: k wasn't checked
[08:52] <Gnea> ookz: alright, go ahead and close out of it all, then logout/login
[08:52] <ookz> okay brb
[08:54] <Tr3y-> systemd0wn: dunno what to tell you :-/ all I know right now is it's 3am in texas good luck out there and good night
[08:54] <systemd0wn> Tr3y-, haha. thanks. have a good night.

[08:56] <unimatrix9> ok

[08:56] <systemd0wn> i will try noapic in a sec.
[08:57] <CQ> hello, I need to resize a logical LVM volume with ext3 on it... seems that you need to use resize2fs (2??) to shrink the ext3 volume, and then lvreduce teh volume to that size... is that right?
[08:58] <ookz> Gnea: yeah i think i need to call it quits tonight
[08:58] <systemd0wn> unimatrix9, ok, this time i booted off the cd an i at leat get a bash prompt
[08:59] <ookz> Gnea: i'ma hard boot and see if that helps but if not then night night for gonzo
[08:59] <systemd0wn> unimatrix9 (still haven't tried noapic)
[08:59] <ookz> Gnea: Thanks for all the help
[08:59] <ookz> Gnea: snd time
[08:59] <unimatrix9> systemdOwn , instead of noapic "use all_generic_ide"

[09:01] <systemd0wn> k
[09:01] <unimatrix9> you can take a look there too , i think its the same problem
[09:01] <unimatrix9> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014534&page=2
[09:01] <velko> CQ, i don't know about the procedure but it is very likely that you have to use resize2fs. ext3 is ext2 with journaling. you can create ext3 either with mkfs.ext3 or with "mkfs.ext2 -j". and this is true for other ext-commands too
[09:02] <unimatrix9> systemdOwn , i have to go, hope you get it working, good luck, see you around!
[09:02] <systemd0wn> unimatrix9, thanks for the help.
[09:02] <unimatrix9> np
[09:02] <unimatrix9> :)
[09:02] <ookz> Gnea: Seems like hardboot worked
[09:03] <Gnea> ookz: excellent!
[09:03] <Gnea> ookz: try reinstalling the codec :)
[09:03] <ookz> Gnea: I wish I knew what caused the whole issue
[09:04] <Gnea> ookz: sometimes new users aren't always added to the audio group, among other groups
[09:04] <ookz> Gnea: and what would cause this?
[09:05] <phantomcircuit_> damn it
[09:05] <Gnea> ookz: any number of things. i've seen the system not get sound setup before the first user is added during the installation phase - without a soundcard, the system goes "oh, well if there's no sound, then we can't add them to the audio group"
[09:05] <phantomcircuit_> skype keeps muting my microphone
[09:05] <phantomcircuit_> what the hell

[09:06] <ookz> Gnea: But what caused my sound to drop for no reason then start up for no reason?
[09:06] <Slart> phantomcircuit_: have you looked at the settings? there is a "let skype change my mixer settings"-checkbox somewhere
[09:06] <kingsley> Is there a meta-package which installs proprietary packages like flash and java?
[09:06] <phantomcircuit_> Slart, that is not checked
[09:07] <Slart> kingsley: I don't think there is one that does all the proprietary stuff.. but there are separate packages for flash and such
[09:07] <Slart> !flash | kingsley
[09:07] <Gnea> ookz: I have no idea
[09:07] <Slart> !java | kingsley
[09:07] <ookz> Gnea: lulz, well thanks anyways for the help

[09:17] <Slart> int256: lots.. nload in a terminal will do it.. there are numerous small apps for the gnome panel or screenlets that does it too
[09:17] <lianimator> Slart: OO is quite ugly in my opinion. lyx is native to KDE right?
[09:17] <Slart> lianimator: I think lyx is a gtk app...
[09:17] <Slart> lianimator: I've only used it in gnome myself
[09:17] <jsquared> OO is just utterly wretched
[09:17] <Slart> lianimator: ugly gui or ugly output?
[09:18] <lianimator> Slart: I found it in Add/Remove. there's a heart icon and the K icon.
[09:18] <ploom> OO is ugly and KDE looks nice? C'mon, lianimator

[09:19] <jsquared> Athenon: what do you have installed right now?
[09:19] <zeralda> hii my Cisco material does not work with ubuntu even when i installed Wine
[09:19] <Athenon> jsquared: XP Pro
[09:20] <ploom> zeralda, what material from cisco?
[09:20] <Slart> !doesntwork | zeralda
[09:20] <jsquared> Athenon: use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent to make a USB drive that can boot Ubuntu (like a CD). then install it as normal
[09:20] <ploom> lianimator, but what's better than OO??
[09:20] <jsquared> Athenon: see section 6 there in particular
[09:21] <lianimator> ploom: that's what I'm looking for. ;)
[09:21] <zeralda> ok i can see it in wine applecatin but when i click on it it doesnot open ...it just make start opening and then stop
[09:21] <Athenon> jsquared: sounds good.  thanks.
[09:21] <jsquared> Athenon: basically, just download the ISO you want, have a USB drive big enough for it (you need about 550 MB free for the latest one, iirc), run Unetbootin, then fire away :)
[09:21] <enry> hi have y find that in ubuntu 8.10 the usb 2.0 is stuck to 4.5 Mb/s?? is this a bug? any fixes?
[09:21] <zeralda> its lan switching and wireless CCNA academic
[09:22] <G-Bleezy> Hey is there any kind of GUI for vnc4server?
[09:22] <Slart> enry: my usb goes faster than that.. how do you measure it?
[09:22] <fregmy> hi
[09:22] <zeralda> only thing i could did is open this material online ...but im not satesfied with this solution
[09:22] <fregmy> all
[09:23] <jsquared> enry: mine goes way faster than that. (obvious question, but just in case...) you have 2.0, right? :)
[09:23] <enry> Slart this is a problem fount with a lot of people in ubuntu-it, we all have usb 2.0
[09:23] <enry> we don't know how to fix it
[09:23] <ploom> lianimator, what better alternative would you want? isnt it enough to beat Office suit (except exchange) and Works??
[09:24] <jsquared> enry: any similarities across the cases?
[09:24] <Athenon> jsquared: i install it on the usb drive, take it over to the laptop, plugin both usb drive AND external hdd...then boot to usb drive, install to external?
[09:24] <ddn> hi all, my firts time with ubuntu, how can I install openoffice? already downloaded but I don't know wich is the installer
[09:24] <enry> we are studing this but i think that it maibe can be  a bug
[09:24] <lianimator> ploom: if exchange is the accounting software, I like gnucash much more.
[09:24] <jsquared> Athenon: that's about right. I mean, you can use your original computer too - just don't overwrite your existing OS by accident :)
[09:24] <Slart> ddn: use synaptic or applications, Add/Remove
[09:25] <zeralda> no one hear me
[09:25] <lianimator> ploom: can't really say it "beats" office
[09:25] <Slart> ddn: ubuntu uses repositories to install software.. you don't have to download software like you do on windows
[09:25] <Athenon> jsquared: could i just install the live directly to the external and install it on the laptop?  I mean, I don't think I have an available thumbdrive :P
[09:25] <Slart> zeralda: we hear you.. we just don't know how to help you
[09:25] <ddn> Slart, I did, because this linux4one has writer and calc, but when I try to install presentation I have some repositories error
[09:25] <Slart> ddn: linux4one?
[09:26] <jsquared> Athenon: you can do that. Unetbootin doesn't really care whether it's a thumb drive or a hard drive
[09:26] <ddn> Slart, acer aspire one, very cool distro
[09:26] <Athenon> jsquared: ok cool.  thanks.
[09:27] <Slart> ddn: we don't support that here afaik.. you'll have to ask the people who distribute it
[09:27] <ploom> lianimator, why can't you? It does the same job, is documented (more) and even free?
[09:27] <Athenon> jsquared: one last thing.  will it erase my external at some point? :S
[09:27] <DJ_HaMsTa> bash: /etc/default/openvpn: Permission denied
[09:27] <ddn> Slart, funny, I thought ubuntu... so... check linux4one.it
[09:28] <DJ_HaMsTa> how can i gain access ?
[09:28] <jsquared> Athenon: erase it?
[09:28] <Athenon> jsquared: yeah.  i want the data on the external...and i have like 80+gb free...i just want to install ubuntu ALONGSIDE the data
[09:28] <Slart> ddn: mm.. it's ubuntu based.. but it's not ubuntu.. ubuntu is debian based.. but you won't get any help with ubuntu in #debian
[09:28] <Athenon> ideally anyway
[09:28] <ddn> Slart, ok, ty
[09:29] <jsquared> Athenon: when you say  you have "free space", is that space unpartitioned, or in a partition but just not occupied?
[09:29] <Athenon> in a partition, unocuppied
[09:29] <jsquared> what is the partition format?
[09:29] <jsquared> probably ntfs/fat32 I'm guessing
[09:29] <Athenon> ntfs i think...if not, fat32
[09:29] <Athenon> yeah
[09:29] <Athenon> :S
[09:29] <Slart> DJ_HaMsTa: what are you trying to do? edit the file?
[09:30] <DJ_HaMsTa> remove it..
[09:30] <jsquared> Athenon: that's not going to be super-good for your robustness on Ubuntu. I forget if the installer lets you resize partitions
[09:30] <Athenon> ok :S
[09:30] <jsquared> Athenon: if it doesn't try downloading gparted and adjusting things
[09:30] <Slart> DJ_HaMsTa: sudo rm /etc/default/openvpn would do it
[09:30] <Athenon> unetbootin isnt going to erase it, though?
[09:31] <BlastuR> hey! im gonna sell two of my harddrives, but I want to wipe them clean first.. is there a good tool to do this? Not just format, but also like write zeroes everywhere on the disk? I tried dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd but it seems to take forever (even on a 120 GB disk)
[09:31] <Slart> DJ_HaMsTa: that will delete the file.. without sending it to the trashbin
[09:31] <Slart> !wipe | BlastuR
[09:31] <Athenon> BlastuR: its either going to take forever or youre not going to write 0s everywhere i think ;P
[09:31] <jsquared> Unetbootin doesn't do an install. it tries to makes a partition bootable and unpacks the ISO
[09:31] <Slart> BlastuR: wiping a drive will take "forever".. a day or so for a large drive
[09:31] <Athenon> oh i see
[09:31] <Athenon> cool.  thanks
[09:31] <DJ_HaMsTa> /var/lib/dpkg/info/openvpn.postrm <-- tried it with this one, does not work
[09:31] <jsquared> BlastuR: yes, that will take a long time
[09:32] <Slart> BlastuR: and using wipe will take even longer since it does it several times
[09:32] <audrey> saluté
[09:32] <co_setia> goblok
[09:32] <BlastuR> crap
[09:32] <Slart> !info wipe | BlastuR
[09:32] <co_setia> anjing
[09:32] <jsquared> Athenon: do everything at your own risk, of course :)
[09:32] <Athenon> jsquared: naturally :P
[09:33] <BlastuR> isn't there a way to like make the fs corrupt beyond repairs? there aren't any really sensitive files on there, but i just want make sure it's not super easy to recover the files
[09:33] <cheyne> hi - sort've new to ubuntu - apparently there should be 'network' under 'places' menu but I do not see it. what is the best way to access the xubuntu equivalent of my network places? Thanks
[09:33] <enry> jsquared,  this is a bug....read this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/183839
[09:33] <Slart> BlastuR: can't you just leave it on over night?
[09:33] <jsquared> enry: that doesn't sound like the same thing. you didn't say anything about kernel freezes
[09:33] <marko_> can someone explain to me how to "set the file rights to a+x via: chmod a+x msreader.sh"
[09:33] <BlastuR> maybe
[09:34] <jsquared> enry: also your description seemed to suggest it was all files, not just large files
[09:34] <Slart> cheyne: hmm.. there should be a network under the places menu in gnome too..
[09:34] <enry> jsquared,  my kernel freeze only if i use the case usb port
[09:34] <Slart> cheyne: is your network setup?
[09:34] <madmike> alright, say I just plugged in an mp3 player, what might it be named in /dev so I can mount it?
[09:34] <Killerkiwi> how do I unmount /sda1 from resuce mode so I can fsck it ?
[09:34] <BlastuR> do you think it is good to use a larger block size with dd? like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd bs=100MB ? i guess it will only write 1 byte at a time otherwise?
[09:34] <DJ_HaMsTa> how can i delete /var/lib/dpkg/info/openvpn.postrm ? i have tried rm, rm -rf
[09:34] <cheyne> yeah the network is all set up
[09:34] <cheyne> i just cant find where to access the folders
[09:35] <enry> i don't try with small file
[09:35] <Slart> BlastuR: yes.. I think using a larger blocksize will make it faster.. at least I think so
[09:35] <madmike> i just plugged in a usb device, how can I find out what it's named in /dev?
[09:35] <credo> marko_: chmod is a program that manages permissions, $chmod a+x /path/to/file (execute rights for user, group and others)

[09:36] <credo> marko_: no, its installed on every linux by default ;p
[09:37] <credo> marko_: in case its missiong it would be suspicious
[09:37] <marko_> where would it be credo?
[09:38] <Killerkiwi> nm i was in target which prevents it
[09:38] <credo> marko_: you use it via terminal, if you want to find its location type "which chmod" in terminal
[09:38] <jsquared> BlastuR: you shouldn't do that. your block size should be a multiple of your disk's sector size
[09:38] <PokerFacePenguin> Has anyone here had a successful install of time vault on intrepid 64-bit?
[09:38] <jsquared> BlastuR: typically you want a value of something like 1024k to 4096k for modern-ish drives
[09:39] <enry> I decided to install kubuntu
[09:39] <enry> what version can i intall?
[09:39] <enry> install?
[09:39] <enry> 32 or 64 b?
[09:40] <Slart> enry: kubuntu comes in the same versions as ubuntu
[09:40]  * tsabi ugrál
[09:40]  * tsabi hy
[09:41] <Slart> !hu | tsabi
[09:41] <enry> Slart ok i have and amd X2 4800+ can i install a 32 bit version without problems?
[09:41] <Slart> enry: yes
[09:42] <tsabi> all right.. peace
[09:42] <BlastuR> jsquared, weird.. i tried bs=32MB and it came close to something like 40 MB/s (when i hit ctrl+c in dd, it prints write speeds so far) .. with bs=4kb i only get 366 kb/s :D
[09:43] <jsquared> BlastuR: I didn't say 4kb, I said 4096k
[09:43] <BlastuR> oh, so 4 MB then?
[09:43] <jsquared> BlastuR: correct
[09:44] <BlastuR> right, thanks, ill try

[09:52] <Narani> arvind_khadri, well, it says "unknown codec" for some reason
[09:52] <arvind_khadri> Narani, then you dont have sound-card installed i guess... which ubuntu?
[09:52] <arvind_khadri> !sound > Narani
[09:53] <arvind_khadri> madmike, thats the output from lsusb i guess....

[09:55] <Narani> arvind_khadri, sure. I'll see if reinstalling alsa helps...
[09:55] <arvind_khadri> madmike, then it will be automounted... with rhythmbox recognizing it
[09:55] <arvind_khadri> Narani, ok :)
[09:55] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  but where would it mount then?  I can't find it.  I just use it as a flash drive, there's nothing on it
[09:56] <weser> tv
[09:56] <arvind_khadri> madmike, generally /media/disk ... if it has no name assigned to it
[09:56] <madmike> arvind_khadri: already checked, there's nothing in media
[09:56] <unanxbt> I tried ktorrent and transmission and i noticed that i get more download speed with transmission, why it is so?
[09:57] <kerm|t> will my touchscreen work in ubuntu?
[09:57] <NanooK> Bonjour tout le monde
[09:57] <arvind_khadri> madmike, plug in the device and paste the output of "mount "
[09:57] <zeralda> wht this extension does mean xxxxx.bin
[09:58] <arvind_khadri> zeralda, that its a binary
[09:58] <zeralda> does it need any applecation to get work
[09:58] <arvind_khadri> zeralda, no... you may need to set permissions
[09:58] <zeralda> but i need to install it
[09:58] <zeralda> how ???:$
[09:58] <DJ_HaMsTa> Is there an auto repair command in ubuntu ?
[09:59] <arvind_khadri> zeralda, sudo chmod 755 xxxxx.bin , thats if you are in the directory where the file is
[09:59] <sharif_aly> how to access the dtc admin panel
[09:59] <sharif_aly> ?
[09:59] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/118375/
[10:00] <chu_> Hey, I have been considering switching to opensuse (apparantly my battery might work), but having considered the consequences (I'm very happy with my ubuntu install, and there's a chance the battery might not work), I figured I will just try and help fix the problem somehow... I have some basic experience with programming, at the worst I will just be reading some information, anyway could someone please give me a hint where to start? I'm guessing it's something
[10:00] <chu_>  to do with ACPI?
[10:00] <zeralda> wht about if im not in the directory
[10:00] <sharif_aly> help me to access dtc control panel.
[10:01] <arvind_khadri> zeralda, sudo chmod 755 /path/to/file
[10:01] <arvind_khadri> madmike, also sudo fdisk -l
[10:01] <bean> hello
[10:01] <degrit> 'allo
[10:01] <arvind_khadri> madmike, does the device get automounted??
[10:02] <bean> would anyone like to answer a crazy question
[10:02] <degrit> do I understand correctly that to use a cue/bin disk image I have no alternative than to convert it into iso first ?
[10:02] <bean> ?
[10:02] <DJ_HaMsTa> Is there an auto repair command in ubuntu ?
[10:02] <arvind_khadri> !ask | bean

[10:03] <arvind_khadri> Myrtti, really :)
[10:03] <prince_jammys> Myrtti: kiddies
[10:03] <prince_jammys> i tell ya ...
[10:04] <madmike> what was that?
[10:04] <arvind_khadri> madmike, spam...
[10:04] <Myrtti> and back to normal programming
[10:04] <invisibleninja> an outdted flood method
[10:04] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  no automount  http://paste.ubuntu.com/118376/
[10:04] <madmike> what did they try to spam?
[10:04] <madmike> all I saw was the messages saying they were coming and going
[10:04] <bean> khadri, So I installed ubuntu off windows because I don't have a cdrom drive on this laptop. But now I want to completely remove windows from this machine while inside of ubuntu. I checked the partitions but because of the way i installed it their is only one partition. How do I remove windows?
[10:04] <invisibleninja> nothing to spam, just shenanigans
[10:04] <Myrtti> madmike: tried to get connection of others drop because of flood
[10:05] <Myrtti> madmike: not that they were doing a good job at it
[10:05] <arvind_khadri> bean, no idea
[10:05] <ubuntistas> does anybody know how can i remove world of goo game ? i nstalled it via deb
[10:05] <Myrtti> madmike: or just fooling around
[10:06] <mzz> ubuntistas: finding it in synaptic and telling it to remove it would probably work
[10:06] <bean> khadri, do you know where they might hide the windows directory?
[10:06] <arvind_khadri> ubuntistas, use dpkg
[10:06] <ubuntistas> mzz i didn't find it
[10:06] <madmike> thats retarded, where's the fun in that?
[10:06] <joker> hi
[10:06] <joker> lo
[10:06] <Myrtti> madmike: I have no idea. Shall we continue?
[10:06] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  no automount  http://paste.ubuntu.com/118376/
[10:06] <chu_> where to talk about development?
[10:06] <madmike> yup, I'm continuing
[10:07] <ubuntistas> dpkg how?
[10:07] <ziroday> chu_: #programming, #ubuntu-offtopic #your_language etc..
[10:07] <arvind_khadri> madmike, ya i saw that... btw why are you root?
[10:07] <chu_> thanks ziroday
[10:07] <invisibleninja> hahaha, probably some kids new to IRC. I used to be a part of such kiddish fun in the early 2ks.
[10:07] <bean> Anyone know how to remove windows xp, off ubuntu if you installed ubuntu inside of windows?
[10:08] <ziroday> bean: you can overwrite that partition with ext3 or whatever
[10:08] <zeralda> i cant give permission ...the  applecation in desktop
[10:08] <bean> ziroday, theirs only 1 partition
[10:08] <zeralda> and cant install it ,,help pls
[10:08] <uid01> how to remove an egg from and egg
[10:08] <ziroday> bean: pastebin the output of fdisk -l
[10:08] <arvind_khadri> zeralda, sudo chmod 755 ~/Desktop/xxx.bin
[10:08] <ubuntistas> arvind_khardi dpkg how?
[10:08] <madmike> arvind_khadri:I had to earlier to mess with a directory, and never opened a new terminal.  It's just an old habit
[10:08] <crdlb> chu_: a good first step in your quest would be to try an opensuse livecd to see if they actually have it working, which would narrow the solution down to a different between ubuntu and opensuse
[10:09] <Slart> bean: I don't think you can
[10:09] <cheyne> how can I browse my network drives in xfce? Thanks
[10:09] <arvind_khadri> ubuntistas, sudo dpkg -r <deb name>
[10:09] <ziroday> !pastebin | bean put the output of sudo fdisk -l (you run that from the command line) here
[10:09] <bean> Slart, you should be able to delete it like a directory right?
[10:09] <mzz> bean: I'm not sure if there's a sane way to remove the partition, but you can just delete the relevant folder(s), of course.
[10:09] <joan3> Hey guys
[10:09] <Myrtti> cheyne: have you asked in #xubuntu? this is fairly busy channel and you probably get good answers there
[10:10] <ubuntistas> is crudt remover good for removing deb files?
[10:10] <joan3> How do I disable the user agent being sent by ubuntu/firefox ?
[10:10] <ubuntistas> cruft
[10:10] <Bupuntu> hi, i'm having a problem, i started ubuntu and it gave me a bluescreen having problem with the X server, i restarted in recovery mode and did a check disk, now it only works with metacity, and not with compiz
[10:10] <cheyne> ok i will do that thanks for the tip
[10:10] <ziroday> ubuntistas: deborphan?
[10:10] <arvind_khadri> madmike, the device would be /dev/usb mount it to somewhere...
[10:10] <uid01> bean - backup data to a cd-r or dvd-r... then formate everything... and reinstall them on seperate partitions
[10:10] <Slart> bean: you used wubi, right?
[10:10] <Bupuntu> if i set compiz again, it will not take any command at all
[10:10] <mzz> bean: (if you have enough free space you could try to shrink the windows partition, create a new one for ubuntu, put it in there, then reformat the windows partition. But that's nontrivial and may not be worth it)
[10:10] <Slart> joan3: there are addons that lets you change the agent string
[10:10] <arvind_khadri> ubuntistas, i havent heard of tat...
[10:10] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  alright, one min
[10:11] <joan3> Also using tor/privoxy seems to be very slow..
[10:11] <gotobedsleepyhea> hi all, i have a crappy adaptec 2610sa raid controller that i want to use as a sata controller. will this work?

[10:12] <madmike> arvind:  there is no /dev/usb  I have a /dev/usbdev though               http://paste.ubuntu.com/118379/
[10:12] <joan3> is there anyway to speed up internet speed while using privoxy ?
[10:12] <bean> ziroday, http://paste.ubuntu.com/118381/
[10:12] <bean> http://paste.ubuntu.com/118381/
[10:12] <mzz> oh, reminds me. Is there a trivial way to make hardy not beep the pc speaker when I hit tab in gnome-terminal, or would the easiest way involve upgrading to intrepid?
[10:13] <ziroday> joan3: pay the privoxy owners to have a server closer to you?
[10:13] <ubuntistas> sudo dpkg -r deb name arvind khadri is that going to remove the software?
[10:13] <joan3> Ah..
[10:13] <ziroday> bean: how are you running ubuntu?
[10:13] <joan3> ziroday: how do I get a menu to choose a privoxy server ?
[10:13] <ghd1> Where is the best place to ask about screen resolution issues?
[10:13] <ziroday> joan3: I was being sarcastic
[10:14] <ziroday> ghd1: if you're using ubuntu, here
[10:14] <bean> mzz, slart, uid01, No CD-ROM and the trouble would be finding the directories to remove...
[10:14] <joan3> ziroday: I know.. but there is a way to choose the location server
[10:14] <jahmon> can anyone help-out with install/grub problem <fatal error: cannot install grub>
[10:14] <bean> ziroday, like I said I installed it while inside of windows..
[10:14] <ziroday> joan3: not that I know of, however I don't use privoxy often
[10:14] <mzz> bean: pretty much everything windowsy on the host partition :)
[10:14] <ziroday> bean: ah you're using wubi?
[10:14] <joan3> ziroday: okay
[10:14] <arvind_khadri> madmike, whats the size of your flash drive?
[10:14] <mzz> bean: I'm sorry, I don't use wubi so can't give you a reliable list of stuff not to remove
[10:15] <bean> ziroday, I don't know what wubi is
[10:15] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  2gb
[10:15] <arvind_khadri> !grub > jahmon
[10:15] <mzz> ziroday: I'm pretty sure that's a yes (he said he installed from inside windows and doesn't have a separate partition, I don't know anything obvious other than wubi doing that)
[10:15] <ghd1> system-> preferences->screen resolution shows 1024*768 and 0Hz, cannot changes these. It worked fine when booting from the live CD, broken after install
[10:15] <ziroday> bean: you will need to use a usb drive to install ubuntu if you don't have a cd drive
[10:16] <ziroday> mzz: yeah, thanks!
[10:16] <Milkeh> somebody I need help with uninstalling crossover
[10:16] <mzz> Milkeh: how did you install it?
[10:16] <arvind_khadri> madmike, do other USB devices automount?
[10:16] <bean> zitoday, I have a external hdd.
[10:16] <DJ_HaMsTa> i need help removing all OPENVPN files, is this possible ?
[10:16] <Milkeh> mzz, I honestly can't remember, I think I used some kind of package
[10:16] <Milkeh> mzz, I know I didn't use apt-get
[10:16] <bean> ziroday, thanks I'll rtfm on that. Thanks all for input.
[10:16] <ziroday> bean: that might work
[10:17] <zeralda> ok how can i change to the root
[10:17] <zeralda> ???
[10:17] <ziroday> !install | bean
[10:17] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  yes, I have a mouse and external hd that always automount, even before I put the hd in fstab
[10:17] <mzz> Milkeh: bah. If apt-get wasn't involved there may be no clean way to get rid of it again.
[10:17] <ziroday> !root | zeralda
[10:17] <bemuse> check if u can find it in the "Add/Remove" tab under "Applications"
[10:17] <Milkeh> mzz, It's just that it's stuck in my Applcations menu bar and I want it gone
[10:17] <bemuse> since u didnt install it through terminal
[10:17] <mzz> Milkeh: as an icon on the bar? Does just right-clicking the icon and saying "remove" not work?
[10:17] <arvind_khadri> madmike, try plugging the device in another port
[10:18] <mzz> Milkeh: (I can't give you the exact wording, the install I'm currently in is not english)
[10:18] <Octoberert> hello everybody my taskbar does(nt appears how to repair please
[10:18] <Milkeh> mzz, I tried the command it gave me (/opt/cx/office/bin/cxuninstall as root)
[10:19] <Milkeh> mzz, and it gives me this: cxuninstall:error: unable to determine how to uninstall CrossOver Linux Professional
[10:19] <arvind_khadri> Octoberert, right click and say Add Panel
[10:19] <ziroday> Octoberert: is the program gnome-panel running?
[10:19] <Octoberert> arvind_khadri:no
[10:19] <baz> which screen widgets framework looks the best, is stable and doesn't suck resources... screenlets?
[10:19] <Milkeh> mzz, and when I right click on it, it does nothing
[10:19] <mzz> Milkeh: really more of a crossover question than an ubuntu question if you didn't use apt-get or the like to install it...
[10:19] <Octoberert> thx!
[10:19] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  i plugged it in where the mouse was plugged in, and does the same stuff as before, except it says it is at address 8 now
[10:20] <ziroday> !best > baz
[10:20] <mzz> Milkeh: if the icon doesn't respond to right-click I'm not sure what icon it is. Is it in the bar (panel) or is it inside the "applications" menu?
[10:20] <ziroday> baz: but screenlets is the most recent, plasmoids for kde
[10:20] <kerm|t> hrm on a dell e6400 the pointer doesnt work right, the touch screen dosent work, and suspend doesnt work :/

[10:22] <Milkeh> how do I delete directories via kernel?
[10:22] <mzz> zeralda: what's the "it" in that sentence?
[10:23] <mzz> Milkeh: I don't follow. "via kernel"? What are you actually trying to do?
[10:23] <zxd> where
[10:23] <zeralda> no its just application i just downloaded
[10:23] <Milkeh> mzz, remove a directory, if I try to just right click and go remove it says I need the permission

[10:24] <Milkeh> mzz, thank you
[10:24] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  that was after i reconnected it, i tried the command again, it is the same output
[10:24] <gotobedsleepyhea> ok, the drive can be seen in /proc/scsi/scsi but the is no entry on /dev for it
[10:25] <wolfe_> hi all... can anyone point me to the right irc channel to follow the piratebay press conference?
[10:25] <zxd> where are settings for held packages saved

[10:26] <zxd> yet the package appears to be held in aptitude
[10:27] <arvind_khadri> zxd, sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:27] <degrit> MUST I convert a bin/cue image to iso to use it or is there some app that mounts it ?
[10:27] <Slart> !quiteirssi | gozilla
[10:27] <arvind_khadri> madmike, lsusb is also the same?
[10:27] <Slart> !quietirssi | gozilla

[10:29] <Slart> GreedyB1: disk usage analyser
[10:30] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  Bus 002 Device 011: ID 04e8:5081 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd

[10:31] <wolfe_> Is anyone following the piratebay press conference? can someone point me to the right IRC channel to view?
[10:32] <ghd1> monitor type = unknown after install, was correctly seen as 14" laptop when booted from live CD, screen now has sight flicker
[10:32] <arvind_khadri> madmike, hmm... http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/15776-how-mount-usb-flash-drives-linux.html try this
[10:32] <arvind_khadri> madmike, just use sudo wherever su is there
[10:32] <arvind_khadri> zxd, what should i do about it?
[10:33] <GreedyB1> wolfe_: what is the actual name of the program? I don't see it in my menus.  I'm using Xubuntu
[10:33] <madmike> alright, thanks arvind
[10:33] <Slart> wolfe_: google isn't working for you? http://trial.thepiratebay.org/
[10:33] <arvind_khadri> madmike, do tell whether it worked or not
[10:34] <arvind_khadri> !ot > wolfe_
[10:34] <wolfe_> thanks slart, greedy. trial.thepiratebay.org has twitter details, I was hoping for IRC live(r) feed.
[10:34] <wolfe_> the URL doesn't have IRC pointer that I can see (but please correct me if I'm wrong)
[10:37] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  lol, I can't find my hardware browser, but besides that, I already did everything, I just don't know what the dang mp3 player is named in /dev
[10:38] <Athenon> jsquared: it failed...said ntldr was missing when i tried to boot it.
[10:38] <arvind_khadri> madmike, blkid does it return something?
[10:39] <arvind_khadri> madmike, it would look for your device...
[10:39] <arvind_khadri> madmike, it would, you look for your device...
[10:39] <dixon_> Hi all. I run ubuntu on my production web server. What is the best way to mirror a website on that server so I safley can develop on it on another machine?
[10:39] <dixon_> I've heard about something called rsync?
[10:40] <ghd1> dixon: are you just wanting to mirror the files or is it a more complicated web site?
[10:40] <Slart> wolfe_: try #trial-translate on efnet
[10:41] <arvind_khadri> madmike, the thing is that your drive isnt getting mounted at all...
[10:41] <wolfe_> thanks slart 8-)
[10:42] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  I know, but I was hoping that since the computer recognizes that it is plugged in, it would let me mount it
[10:42] <arvind_khadri> madmike, http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11637.html this seems promising
[10:43] <madmike> oh, and block id doesn't show it
[10:43] <madmike> just the drives already mounted
[10:43] <dixon_> ghd1: It's a more complicated website. One solution is to make a full backup of all files, the apache config and the database and just rebuild it as a sub domain on antoher server. But lazy as I am that seems to be quite some work. I wounder what the "standard" way of doing things like this it?
[10:44] <sicked> guys i've rebooted my pc and now the windows in my desktops are not going to close except if i type the killall command by the terminall... what's happening?
[10:44] <dixon_> Maybe CVS is a better solution for the files?
[10:45] <sicked> even in the case i try to use another DE like Xfce instead of my default GNOME DE, the problem persists...
[10:46] <arvind_khadri> sicked, some process would be using all the processor... use top to find out which one
[10:46] <ghd1> dixon: there is no "standard way". You could probably use rsync to copy over the files but the database will not be in a consistent state on the new machine
[10:46] <sicked> arvind_khadri: i have no process using the processor.. the maximum rate is 6%
[10:46] <sicked> this is bizarre..
[10:47] <arvind_khadri> sicked, which ubuntu?
[10:47] <eraggo_> huomenta
[10:47] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  dmesg | grep -i "SCSI device"    outputs nothing
[10:47] <eraggo_> ah morning
[10:47] <illumin8> can anyone recommend an automated backup utility for ubuntu 8.04?
[10:48] <madmike> arvind_khadri:  does that mean the player isn't being assigned a device name or whatever it's called?
[10:48] <sicked> arvind_khadri: i have a 8.10
[10:48] <atlef> illumin8: simple backup

[11:25] <innxis> Hello! I have a problem with my screen resolution on Ubuntu 8.10. I have 2 displays (LG Flatron l1919s (19', resolution I want: 1280x1024); iiyama ProLite E380s (15', resolution I want: 1024x768)) and a nvidia geforce NX7600GS 512mb video card. The problem is I can't get the maximum resolution. iiyama is working fine, but Flatron resolution is only 800x600. PLEASE HELP!
[11:25] <innociv> hmm so i want to do usermod --home /home/domain.com -m username ?
[11:25] <oCean_> innociv: correct
[11:26] <ubuntu_-> hi ,now i use live cd.how can i repair a ntfs bad sector ?
[11:26] <`Alt`> hi dude's :D
[11:27] <`Alt`> why u use live cd
[11:27] <`Alt`> use victoria soft
[11:27] <innociv> ugh
[11:27] <dr_Willis> ubuntu_-,  i dont think thats a good idea.  It may be safest to use the live cd to backup your data.. if you can.
[11:27] <ubuntu_-> does not boot the hd it has bad sectors and i nedd them fixed
[11:27] <innociv> on one it's not letting me do it because the directory already exsists :/
[11:28] <innxis> :|
[11:28] <OriWB_> Can someone please tell me how to use my fprint scanner on login? I got it to work, but it doesn't appear on login
[11:28] <ubuntu_-> how do invoke the disk check command
[11:28] <eth01> OriWB_: which version is it?
[11:28] <ubuntu_-> sometimes it appears after 1 week
[11:28] <kerm|t> how do i get standby to work on a dell?
[11:28] <dr_Willis> ubuntu_-,  linux dosent really have a 'ntfs check disk' command..     that ive seen.
[11:28] <OriWB_> eth01: intrepid ibex
[11:28] <innociv> what do i do about that?
[11:29] <oCean_> innociv: then don't use the -m switch in your command, It will only update the /etc/passwd, and not try to actually move the directory
[11:29] <`Alt`> ubuntu_- use boot cd of the SOFT viktoria
[11:29] <Slart> ubuntu_-: the command badblocks searches for bad blocks in a device
[11:29] <eth01> kerm|t: thats kernel depending
[11:29] <innociv> well i want to move all those bash files and stuff there. i guess i just have to do that with sudo
[11:29] <Slart> ubuntu_-: I'm not sure if it only works for ext2/3 fs though
[11:30] <innxis> :|
[11:30] <v2> does someone have excperience with ubuntu on mobile phone?
[11:30] <dr_Willis> Slart,  from what i recall babblocks dosent 'fix' anything  - it just scans and prints out a list of them

The problem is I can't get the maximum resolution. iiyama is working fine, but Flatron resolution is only 800x600. PLEASE HELP!
[11:30] <Slart> dr_Willis: ah... correct
[11:30] <oCean_> innociv: well that, or remove/rename the existing directory.
[11:31] <dr_Willis> Slart,  i also wonder what happens if your boot sector goes 'bad' sort of hard to work around that one.
[11:31] <innociv> Yeah i mv'd it
[11:32] <innociv> i have a notehr hting that seems liek it'll be an issue.  I need people logged onto sftp or ssh not able to see each others folders.. but I have to have group read access and them in the same group because of lighttpd

[11:43] <yownanymous> Sec_Goat: Never really heard of that kind of problem before :/
[11:43] <innxis> gotobedsleepyhea: yes
[11:43] <harlemdavvey> please guy, i cannot stand linux anymore because of these problems...
[11:43] <dontpanic> anybody with ubuntu and a MacBook ? without OSX, just ubuntu ?

[11:44] <dontpanic> i can't install ubuntu on mac os , it just doenst boot.... but if i install fedora it works /.

[11:45] <durt> Sec_Goat: You mean signal out of  range, it's a video card/monitor prob
[11:45] <yownanymous> OriWB_: unfortunately it cant find the product, I have a backup plan though
[11:45] <innxis> gotobedsleepyhea: my monitor is a retarded one
[11:45] <harlemdavvey> please.. guys someone help me..
[11:45] <OriWB_> yownanymous: lol, what'd u have in mind?
[11:46] <innxis> gotobedsleepyhea: or maybe it's just the xorg sometimes
[11:46] <Sec_Goat> Yownanymous: nope, Downloaded the ISO, and burnt it.. I have seen something like this in Windows before, and what i did to fix it was reduce the resolution, is there a way to do that     the Boot / install options?
[11:46] <yownanymous> Sec_Goat: In the bootloader, there should be a screen res option I think
[11:46] <gotobedsleepyhea> you might have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:46] <Sec_Goat> Durt: Yes it is something the video card bu t is definitely signal OVER Range
[11:46] <yownanymous> OriWB_: Erm, well the wikipedia article plan went out the window
[11:46] <gotobedsleepyhea> if it is detecting the your monitor properly
[11:47] <yownanymous> OriWB_: do you close the lid or press quit from the menu?
[11:47] <OriWB_> harlemdavvey: sometimes you have to ask your question over, since it may be missed. don't be afraid to ask two or three times sometimes
[11:47] <atlef_> harlemdavvey: preferences - sessions - add and in the command part enter metacity --replace
[11:47] <OriWB_> yownanymous: well, i set the computer not to do anything when i close the lid
[11:47] <yownanymous> OK, so it's quit
[11:47] <OriWB_> yownanymous: but thats a waste of battery
[11:47] <durt> Sec_Goat: press esc before boot to gui install and select text install, or download the alternative install cd
[11:48] <yownanymous> durt: Oh there's a point, never thought of that
[11:48] <Besogon> zzx

[11:48] <Sec_Goat> durt: I will give that a shot, any suggestions for alt Cds? like the txt install one?
[11:49] <yownanymous> OriWB_: erm right, so it's just a black screen and a horizontal line like in terminal?

[11:49] <durt> Sec_Goat: no, it's straight forward
[11:49] <harlemdavvey> seriously..  i don't know how and why but my system reboots without a window theme working and i have to fight to have my windows closeable... what can i do to solve this problem? i cannot always have this problem... i cannot stand this situation that is always the same everytime i uninstall some program...

[11:50] <Sec_Goat> alright i will give this another shot and see what happens, hopefully i will be back on ubuntu!
[11:50] <durt> Sec_Goat: don't do a cli install, thats just a basic server install, no windows
[11:50] <OriWB_> yownanymous: well, now i do, but not always
[11:51] <yownanymous> OriWB_: Well put it in standby, wait for a while, and if it doesn't work, come back here

[11:54] <juniecho> hey anyone know the name of that font installer in kubuntu? i switched from kubuntu to ubuntu, now i really want to have it on my computer again
[11:54] <merl1n> it logs in but no contacts are found
[11:54] <gotobedsleepyhea> anyone here ever used mknod command?
[11:55] <v2> does anybody know mobile phone where you can connect usb stick
[11:55] <yownanymous> v2: Do you want to install Ubuntu Mobile Edition?
[11:55] <v2> yes
[11:55] <v2> i guess
[11:56] <yownanymous> v2: There's a way to do it, hang on
[11:56] <v2> ok
[11:56] <yownanymous> v2: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
[11:56] <v2> thx
[11:57] <yownanymous> v2: No problem
[11:57] <juniecho> yownanymous wow i've never seen anything like this interesting :)
[11:57] <yownanymous> juniecho: what?
[11:57] <johan12> is there any good psp iso compressor for linux?
[11:57] <juniecho> that... ubuntu mid edition :) hehe
[11:58] <yownanymous> oh right
[11:58] <worldcitizen> you are now breathing manually
[11:58] <yownanymous> yeah
[11:58] <yownanymous> I was gonna install it on my f****d phone
[11:58] <juniecho> :)
[11:58] <juniecho> well that's for smartphones right?
[11:58] <henaaque> hello
[11:59] <mastt> how do you limit a new user's access to anywhere outside the home directory?
[11:59] <yownanymous> mastt: It should be like that by default, they need root access
[12:00] <yownanymous> mastt: Oh wait a sec
[12:00]  * yownanymous slaps himself
[12:00] <G-Bleezy> Hey how do I "open ports"?
[12:00] <henaaque> yesterday i did an apt-get upgrade, and after that smba and lisa aren't working. is there something hat i can do to have my old samba and lisa??
[12:00] <juniecho> hey what is the easiest way to install fonts?
[12:00] <jrib> !iptables | G-Bleezy
[12:01] <G-Bleezy> thank you
[12:01] <jrib> G-Bleezy: but no ports are closed by default in the firewall.  You just need to start whatever service you want to run on them.
[12:01] <yownanymous> mastt: You mean you don't want them even able to see the other directories? Because without root access they can't do anything to them
[12:01] <jrib> !fonts | juniecho
[12:01] <G-Bleezy> oh ok that is good to know
[12:01] <G-Bleezy> i thought it was closed :/
[12:01] <jrib> juniecho: essentially, drag the .ttf to ~/.fonts
[12:01] <jrib> G-Bleezy: why?
[12:02] <G-Bleezy> because i could connect via from localhost but not remote....
[12:02] <mzz> G-Bleezy: if you're running some service but can't access it from an external host that's more often because you're behind a router doing NAT than because of something ubuntu is doing
[12:02] <G-Bleezy> how can i prove that?
[12:02] <nightrid3r> is there a tool like aida that can tell me the type of ram i have
[12:02] <mzz> G-Bleezy: (which is more of a #networking thing really, assuming that exists)
[12:02] <G-Bleezy> im on wireless
[12:02] <juniecho> jrib: wasn't there a font installer tool on kubuntu? can't i get something similar?
[12:02] <mastt> yownanymous: yes
[12:02] <jrib> G-Bleezy: sudo iptables -L   to make sure there are no iptables rules
[12:02] <yownanymous> mastt: Hmm, there should be some way to do that, give me a sec
[12:03] <mzz> G-Bleezy: I bet your wireless router needs a port forward set up
[12:03] <jrib> juniecho: there's probably some nautilus script that will let you right click and install font (since all it would do is copy the font to ~/.fonts), but I don't know
[12:03] <yownanymous> oh I know
[12:03] <G-Bleezy> looks clean
[12:03] <G-Bleezy> FN'mzz is there any way i can check that??
[12:03] <juniecho> jrib: that easy ? :) i think i'll give it a try
[12:03] <henaaque> can i undo the apt-get upgrade?
[12:03] <G-Bleezy> I don't have access to the physical router...can i confirm that im screwed without physical access??
[12:03] <jrib> henaaque: not supported.  Why do you want to?
[12:04] <G-Bleezy> physical access to the router is more what i meant to say :)
[12:04] <mastt> one apache process is running as root, is that safe?
[12:04] <yownanymous> mastt: It should all be under Preferences->Administration->Users and Groups
[12:04] <mastt> yownanymous: I don't have a gui installed
[12:04] <nightrid3r> mastt yes it is
[12:04] <yownanymous> mastt: Oh
[12:04] <mzz> G-Bleezy: I'd ask #networking, assuming it exists
[12:04] <yownanymous> I'm pretty useless without a GUI I'm afraid
[12:04] <mzz> G-Bleezy: it is not hard to be a lot better at this kind of thing than I am :)
[12:05] <mastt> yownanymous: thanks anyway
[12:05] <yownanymous> no problem
[12:05] <rockyrock> hey guys, how to let BitTorrent Transmission to select a port automatically??
[12:05] <G-Bleezy> lol don't be so hard on yourself!
[12:06] <juniecho> jrib: i can't find ~/.fonts , am i to manually create it?
[12:06] <mastt> is squirrelmail all I need to act as a mail server and display mail from a web interface?
[12:06] <jimcooncat> G-Bleezy: you can't get to the router with your browser?
[12:06] <VieQ> guys any one can tell me how to make the system do a fsck on the next boot?
[12:06] <henaaque> jrib, yesterday i did an apt-get upgrade, and now the others computers of my network can't access my files using samba
[12:06] <kl0x> hi ppl
[12:06] <harlemdavvey> what's the fastest program for torrents in ubuntu 8.10? transmission?
[12:06] <yownanymous> I was wondering if it's possible to read an ext 3 filesystem in Windows
[12:07] <kl0x> transmission is really simple and fast, I'd say is a good choice
[12:07] <mzz> yownanymous: google for "ext3 ifs"
[12:07] <yownanymous> mzz: cheers
[12:07] <kl0x> yeah
[12:07] <kl0x> actually ext2FS
[12:07] <nightrid3r> harlemdavvey they are all the same when speed is concerned
[12:07] <G-Bleezy> FN'jimcooncat, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at <IP_ADDRESS>.
[12:07] <yownanymous> so what essentially is the difference between ext3 and ext4?
[12:07] <mzz> yownanymous: (no firsthand experience with that one but I've heard it works pretty well)(
[12:08] <mzz> yownanymous: kernelnewbies.org has a page on that iirc
[12:08] <harlemdavvey> well, yes but maybe there is some difference in resuming, availability in finding sources.. i don't know...
[12:08]  * mzz digs it up
[12:08] <henaaque> yesterday i did an apt-get upgrade, and now the others computers of my network can't access my files using samba. what can i do??
[12:08] <quibbler> rockyrock: in transmission - preferences-network-set what port you want
[12:08] <jrib> juniecho: yes
[12:08] <nightrid3r> !repeat | henaaque
[12:08] <cousin_luigi> hi
[12:08] <mzz> yownanymous: google site:kernelnewbies.org ext4, first hit
[12:08] <jrib> henaaque: ubuntu version, package version, etc.  Have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com
[12:08] <yownanymous> argh, kernel compilation, not something I'm comfortable with
[12:08] <cousin_luigi> how can I disable networkmanager from starting at login?
[12:09] <jimcooncat> G-Bleezy: You know that's your gateway IP? Perhaps try <IP_ADDRESS>:8080
[12:09] <mzz> G-Bleezy: "route" can tell you what your gateway's ip is
[12:10] <mzz> G-Bleezy: and if it won't listen on common ports like 80 or 8080 you can use nmap to figure out what it has open
[12:10] <quibbler> !bit torrent | harlemdavvey
[12:10] <yownanymous> hey this IFS stuff looks pretty good, thanks mzz
[12:10] <mzz> np
[12:10] <quibbler> !torrent | harlemdavvey
[12:11] <G-Bleezy> FN'mzz, hey route was good!! I found the gateway, it was hiding!! :p
[12:11] <mzz> personally I do this the other way around, most linux distros are pretty good at reading and writing local ntfs or network cifs mounts
[12:11] <gotobedsleepyhea> one last time before i go to bed...has anyone here ever used mknod command? does it sound  like to answer to  my missing hard drive in /dev?
[12:11] <G-Bleezy> <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:11] <yownanymous> mzz: Yeah but I use wubi so Windows is my "proper" OS
[12:11] <mzz> gotobedsleepyhea: I've used it, you shouldn't need it
[12:11] <lordnoid> When I try to add a partition in GParted it says I already have 4 primary partitions. Thats true, but I want to add a logical partition :S Why Can't I do that?
[12:11] <mzz> gotobedsleepyhea: what's the problem?
[12:11] <G-Bleezy> "NETGEAR WGR614v8" :(
[12:12] <mzz> yownanymous: hmm, I hope that ifs stuff can access the loopback fs...
[12:12] <G-Bleezy> anyone got that gear? :p
[12:12] <yownanymous> mzz: I heard something about that actually
[12:12] <mzz> lordnoid: you need to add an extended partition to put that logical partition in, most likely
[12:12] <cousin_luigi> lordnoid: remove a primary partition and create an extended one
[12:12] <nightrid3r> lordnoid a logical partition is a primary that acts as a container for other partitions
[12:12] <yownanymous> but it's a virtual disk, that's the problem
[12:12] <mzz> lordnoid: yeah, what cousin_luigi said
[12:12] <lordnoid> oh okay
[12:12] <gotobedsleepyhea> have a hard drive on an adaptec raid controller that  shows up in /proc/scsi/scsi but not in /dev
[12:12] <nightrid3r> s/logical/extended
[12:13] <lordnoid> thanks
[12:13] <mzz> gotobedsleepyhea: using which kernel? Standard ubuntu one?
[12:13] <yownanymous> my headphones feel oppressive :P
[12:13] <gotobedsleepyhea> good question - its mythbuntu with fixes
[12:13] <gotobedsleepyhea> not sure which kernal
[12:13] <mzz> gotobedsleepyhea: could be a missing module. Can you pastebin dmesg?
[12:14] <yownanymous> mythbuntu is good but it's really complicated
[12:14] <kl0x> Has anyone idea why Surf applet for AWN doesn't show not visited rss links?
[12:14] <kerm|t> i thought dell worked well with unbuntu, why doesnt suspend work on an e6400?
[12:14] <innociv> do i need to do something with a user for it to be able to connect via sftp?... I keep getting access denied
[12:15] <jrib> innociv: did you install openssh-server?
[12:15] <innociv> i can get on it with one usr
[12:15] <innociv> user*
[12:15] <mzz> innociv: if they can ssh in they can usually use sftp too afaik
[12:15] <innociv> but not a new one i made
[12:15] <gotobedsleepyhea> http://paste.ubuntu.com/118417/
[12:15] <innociv> and hte user can ssh in
[12:16] <mzz> innociv: I'd look at the server-side logs (may have to increase verbosity a bit), they're usually more interesting than the client-side logs
[12:16] <mastt> what lines do I need to add to sources.lst to get access to most software?
[12:16] <innociv> what log am i looking for?
[12:17] <mzz> innociv: good question :) Probably just the usual /var/log/messages, but you may have to increase verbosity through /etc/ssh/sshd_config, iirc
[12:17] <voyagi> Is it possible to put an IDE harddrive in a cabinett for an extern DVD-burner?
[12:17] <innociv> ugh
[12:17] <innociv> oh

[12:18] <cornell> Anybody here know about phpsysinfo and its config file?  I upgraded from gutsy to heron and phpsysinfo stopped working, getting message...  "...specified sensor program is not supported..."  Googling I found nothing.  Tried uninstalling, removing config as well, re-installing, now there's no config.php.  How do I get the config file?  I thought installing would do it.
[12:18] <jrib> mastt: use System -> Administration -> Software sources to enable main, restricted, universe, and multiverse.  Consider enabling -backports as well.  Do not enable -proposed unless you want to become a tester of broken software.
[12:18] <jrib> !repos > mastt
[12:18] <mastt> jrib: I don't have a gui
[12:19] <jrib> mastt: then read the page ubottu gave you
[12:21] <Yownanymous> jrib: Actually "broken software" is a bit of a pessimistic view. I've tested Jaunty and had no problems so far
[12:21] <innociv> the heck?  I get Cannot get real path for '/home/test/public_html/chat/admin'. on logging in with winscp when that isn't the home directory so i don't see why it should care.. But then it goes into home dir fine.
[12:21] <jrib> Yownanymous: I didn't say anything about jaunty
[12:21] <_ykram> anyone know of satnav routing software that will run on ubuntu ?
[12:21] <g33k_gir1> i have a firefox display problem I'm not sure where to begin fixing. I cannot see any contrast between text fields and page backgrounds, no matter which ubuntu theme I use. is there a pastebin I can put a screenshot in?
[12:22] <Yownanymous> jrib: Yeah but very often testing software isn't all that broken
[12:22] <mastt> what's the easiest way to protect my files if someone gets user access?
[12:22] <innociv> nvm
[12:22] <innociv> fixed it
[12:22] <glucose> Hello
[12:22] <ziroday> mastt: encrypt them.
[12:22] <jrib> Yownanymous: sure, but you should not enable it unless you don't mind having occasionally broken software

[12:35] <CokeNCode> it's saying mount point /media/disk doesn't exist

[12:41] <v2> i dont fucking undertsand :(
[12:41] <v2> im noob

[12:41] <Myrtti> !fi | v2
[12:41] <CokeNCode> thanks ziroday, you're a hero
[12:42] <ziroday> CokeNCode: heh, so everything working good?
[12:42] <mastt> Need to get 7123kB of archives. After unpacking 24.6MB will be used.
[12:42] <mastt> how do I change that so it doesn't ask me unless it's above 100MB?
[12:42] <pino> do you know where i can download the latest version of virtualbox for ubuntu?
[12:43] <mastt> !info virtualbox
[12:43] <pino> the one in the official packages is obsolete
[12:43] <yownanymous> !info vbox
[12:43] <ziroday> pino: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[12:43] <yownanymous> pino: !info qtemu
[12:43] <mastt> the !info command needs to suggest packages
[12:43] <ken1111_> hi everyone
[12:43] <ziroday> !msgthebot | yownanymous mastt
[12:43] <mastt> how hard would it be to substring search the list
[12:43] <g33k_gir1> quibbler: nvm -- figured out its a hardware issue, not a software issue
[12:44] <ignis_fatuus> hi
[12:44] <CokeNCode> hmmm, when they talk about 'documents and settings will be stored in reserved space' is that the space for the stuff you do while in ubuntu, or the space for the extra files
[12:44] <CokeNCode> should i just make that as large as possible ?
[12:44] <yownanymous> ignis_fatuus: hi
[12:45] <quibbler> g33k_gir1: ok ...but what hardware problem
[12:45] <ignis_fatuus>  Hey sorry does anybody know how can I make an external disk work when it is not even detected by writing "lsusb" on the console?
[12:45] <mastt> !info shorewall
[12:45] <g33k_gir1> i dunno -- I think it must be my screen -- I sent the screenshot to the person next to me, and its perfect, on his laptop
[12:45] <ziroday> CokeNCode: err thats for your documents and stuff in your home folder
[12:45] <pino> ziroday, i need the ose versione
[12:45] <g33k_gir1> so it must be my monitor
[12:46] <CokeNCode> ziroday, so that's like settings ?
[12:46] <g33k_gir1> quibbler: sorry ^^^^
[12:46] <ziroday> pino: that is the ose version
[12:46] <g33k_gir1> quibbler: forgot to reply, with yr name
[12:46] <ziroday> CokeNCode: you know you have a /home/username right?
[12:46] <CokeNCode> should i make that small or large ? what happens if I make it small, what's the rest of the space used for ?
[12:46] <CokeNCode> ziroday, yeh
[12:46] <CokeNCode> I know
[12:46] <quibbler> g33k_gir1: no problems...i hope you resolve it
[12:46] <CokeNCode> but, i'm a bit confused by what they mean
[12:46] <CokeNCode> maybe, it's a lack of knowledge, but their wording doesn't seem to precise
[12:46] <ziroday> CokeNCode: basically if you make it too small you can't store your stuff in there. If you make it too large you can't install extra apps
[12:47] <CokeNCode> ohhhhhhhhhhh
[12:47] <g33k_gir1> quibbler: maybe its my gfx card drivers
[12:47] <ziroday> CokeNCode: its the area where you stick all your things. Its your home folder
[12:47] <CokeNCode> ziroday, and the rest of the place is used for stuff like applications and settings
[12:47] <CokeNCode> correct ?
[12:47] <yownanymous> :D
[12:47] <yownanymous> :D
[12:47] <yownanymous> :D
[12:47] <FloodBot2> yownanymous: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:47] <ziroday> CokeNCode: well settings are stored in your /home folder but yes applications and system wide settings
[12:47] <yownanymous> hehe
[12:48] <CokeNCode> that's just purely for data ... why would i have to manually choose how much i want for that tho
[12:48] <CokeNCode> seems strange
[12:48] <ziroday> !offtopic | yownanymous
[12:48] <yownanymous> I always wanted to see what would happen if I flooded...
[12:48] <imaginativeone> how do I move my panel to the bottom of the screen?
[12:48] <imaginativeone> it's stubborn and won't be dragged
[12:48] <CokeNCode> I don't have to do that in a regular linux installation, why do i have to do it when i install it on a memory stick ?
[12:48] <ziroday> CokeNCode: well are you going to install extra apps?
[12:48] <CokeNCode> ziroday, yup
[12:48] <ziroday> CokeNCode: which ones?
[12:49] <CokeNCode> i'm gonna split it down the middle, 3 gigs a piece
[12:49] <CokeNCode> some stuff i need for web development, and network monitoring tools
[12:49] <ziroday> CokeNCode: and how much stuff are you going to hold in your /home. Just work docs, your music library, movies?
[12:49] <yownanymous> right, this might be controversial, but all mods are just about the most unkind most miserable people I've ever met
[12:49] <kl0x> I gotta say good bye people, have a good day and enjoy your ubuntus =D
[12:49] <CokeNCode> ziroday, yup.
[12:49] <Myrtti> yownanymous: thanks. do you want to discuss that somewhere else?
[12:49] <ken1111_> can anyone help me please i am new to linux and i was installing updates and my pc crashed and updates failed now when i try and reinstall them i get a error E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  and the update fails then i open the terminal and enter sudo dpkg --configure -a then it asks for my password  and no matter what i do i cant...
[12:49] <ken1111_> ...enter my password
[12:49] <CokeNCode> I'm still puzzled by this
[12:49] <ignis_fatuus>  Hey sorry does anybody know how can I make an external disk work when it is not even detected by writing "lsusb" on the console?
[12:49] <CokeNCode> how do i make suggestions for improved documentation ?
[12:49] <ziroday> CokeNCode: okay, well I would give 5GB for applications and then 3GB for your /home folder
[12:50] <g33k_gir1> !ati
[12:50] <mastt> !info mutt
[12:50] <ziroday> CokeNCode: you can file a bug against the application. The apps name is usb-creator
[12:50] <ziroday> !bugs | CokeNCode
[12:50] <CokeNCode> i still don't get why this extra space has to be reserved ... but, ok, I'll go ahead and follow the advice given. Thanks ziroday
[12:51] <pino> ziroday, are you sure? it seems it is not..
[12:51] <imaginativeone> how do I move my panel?  it's stubborn, and won't be dragged...
[12:51] <pino> ziroday, the link you pointed are the binaries for non ose version (with rdp server, etc...)
[12:51] <ziroday> CokeNCode: well basically what the installer does is stick a livecd on the usb disk. Not a normal install. And it has to know how much space you want to be "persistant" basically stuff that will last after you uninstall.
[12:51] <ziroday> pino: according to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox
[12:52] <ziroday> pino: and see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions
[12:52] <ziroday> CokeNCode: err shutdown not unistall sorry
[12:53] <ziroday> CokeNCode: sorry if my explanation hasn't been very clear.
[12:55] <zxd> hi
[12:55] <zxd> why does it say lenny/sid in cat /etc/debian_version
[12:55] <quibbler> imaginativeone:     It sounds like your gnome-panel is locked down. You can remedy this from gconf-editor. Start it from the quick launch dialogue (ALT+F2) or from the terminal: [with the command] gconf-editor   Once the editor has opened, navigate to “apps” > “panel” > “global”, and uncheck the key called “locked_down”.
[12:55] <ziroday> zxd: because ubuntu is based on lenny/sid?
[12:55] <zxd> how can i tell what ver of ubuntu i have installed then ?
[12:56] <geirha> lsb_release -a
[12:56] <pino> ziroday, i am sure now. the links in both the opensource section and full-section from the editions page point to the same non-ose version
[12:56] <ziroday> zxd: lsb_release -a
[12:56] <pino> ziroday, but i need binaries of the ose
[12:56] <g33k_gir1> !themes
[12:57] <imaginativeone> quibbler: thanks!
[12:57] <mastt> if I install a mail server will it end up an open relay by default and get abused?
[12:57] <ziroday> pino: thats the open source version. Did you read http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions where it says "VirtualBox OSE is also available from the Downloads page."
[12:57] <quibbler> imaginativeone: you are welcome
[12:58] <ziroday> pino: if you want newer binaries then you need to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu
[12:58] <pino> ziroday, yes, and that download page points to the non ose version
[12:59] <ziroday> pino: did you see the bottom bit of http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[12:59] <pino> ziroday, the bottom is for the source code..
[12:59] <pino> ziroday, i need binaries for non-ose
[12:59] <pino> *for ose, sorry
[13:00] <ziroday> pino: where it says "Please note that the Open Source Edition does not include an installer or setup utilities, as it is mainly aimed at developers and Linux distributors." You need to upgrade your version of ubuntu if you want a newer virtualbox
[13:00] <surf3r> buliding a kernel, i did a make install, but, not sure if it installed the new kerenl, there's nothing new in /boot, and in my current working directory there's a file called vmlinux, is that the kernel?
[13:00] <pino> yes...that's why i am asking here, if there's a binary for ubuntu
[13:00] <ziroday> pino: yes, in a newer version of ubuntu
[13:00] <pino> hmm
[13:01] <pino> why is there this limitation
[13:01] <zxd> how does upstart differ from sysvinit
[13:02] <CokeNCode> thanks ziroday, no your explanation has been great. I just had difficulty following the logic of why things are the way they are that's all
[13:02] <zxd> Through upstart, we are able to have an
[13:02] <zxd> event-driven process
[13:02] <zxd> what does that mean  , event-driven
[13:03] <ziroday> CokeNCode: feel free to file a bug against the package, the devs will probably explain it an awful lot better then I did
[13:03] <Lopta|t_a|> hello is there some tool for ubuntu with the gui which could make me a graph of selected processes, like if I have 54 proftpd process, I want  that this tool could calculate what's the joined usage of all proftpd processes and that tool could make me a graph of the avarage usage of 54 proftpd processes?
[13:04] <Davedan> is there a way to hook into the apt process and being notified when a new package is installed?
[13:04] <jrib> Davedan: apt doesn't install anything without your approval
[13:04] <Sebi> hi
[13:05] <ziroday> pino: because its a complicated package that involves building kernel modules etc
[13:05] <Davedan> jrib: I want to add an 'event listener' to apt and run a script on my machine each time apt installs something
[13:05] <Sebi> i have a problem with wine: toslan@ignaz-acer:~$  wine
[13:05] <Sebi> bash: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory
[13:05] <Sebi> but wine is installed: toslan@ignaz-acer:~$  ls -l /usr/bin/wine
[13:05] <Sebi> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5496 2008-10-27 02:32 /usr/bin/wine
[13:06] <jrib> Davedan: I'm pretty sure you can do that in apt or dpkg preferences (yes, I know that's vague)
[13:06] <surf3r> am i supposed to use mkinitrdramfs somehow after my kernel is built?
[13:06] <ziroday> Sebi: was does whereis wine say?
[13:07] <Sebi> toslan@ignaz-acer:~$  which wine
[13:07] <Sebi> /usr/bin/wine
[13:07] <Davedan>  jrib: what do you mean by 'dpkg preferences'?
[13:07] <jrib> Davedan: dpkg.cfg?
[13:07] <mastt> how can I change the dark blue of vim syntax highlighting to aqua?
[13:08] <fw_> mastt: try :colorscheme
[13:08] <bluej> anyone know of a column view file browser (like Mac's Finder)?
[13:09] <Sebi> ziroday: even chdir in the corresponding directory and executing ./wine there doesn't help
[13:09] <Davedan>  jrib: I see info about pinning a specif package version but not events. I'll keep looking. thanks for the direction
[13:09] <Sebi> ziroday: also not de- and re-installing wine, with cleaning the packet cache
[13:10] <jrib> Davedan: there are all these dpkg:: preferences you can set apt-get to use.  One of them should give you the ability to do what you want.  But I neither know offhand, nor do I know of the specific document to give you as a reference
[13:10] <Sebi> ziroday: using tcsh as shell didn't help also...
[13:10] <Lopta|t_a|> How could I make a cpu usage graph of just selected processes?
[13:11] <ziroday> Sebi: I really, really have no clue.
[13:11] <Sebi> ziroday: me neither..
[13:11] <Davedan>  jrib: thanks. it's a good start
[13:11] <|Wo1F|> Question: i removed one of the SCSI HDD and when i boot i get Grub Error 17. Some one please help me how to fix my grub
[13:12] <innociv> gah.. not apt-get remove for php5 cgi xcache?
[13:12] <innociv> only for normal xcache?
[13:12] <Sebi> ziroday: perhaps sth. with the ram, but reboot didn't help either
[13:12] <dixon_> if I want to add command aliases, shall I put them in .profile or .bashrc . Everyone says different
[13:12] <onats> hi, how do i identify the hard disk numbers of the hard drives i have installed, e.g. (hd0,0)
[13:12] <quibbler> dixon_: i put themin .bashrc
[13:13] <dixon_> quibbler: thanks
[13:13] <jrib> Davedan: you can see what I mean in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99update-notifier for example
[13:13] <Sebi> ziroday: but thanks anyway.
[13:14] <DIFH-iceroot> dixon_: bashrc i use
[13:14] <dixon_> Do I have to reboot or anything, to have my aliases take effect?
[13:15] <carpii> no
[13:15] <|Wo1F|> Question: i removed one of the SCSI HDD and when i boot i get Grub Error 17. Some one please help me how to fix my grub. Any one please :(
[13:15] <Davedan> jrib: thank you so much. I'll look at it
[13:15] <dixon_> hmm, then something is wrong
[13:15] <DIFH-iceroot> dixon_: no, maybe re-login to re-read the bashrc
[13:15] <carpii> uh soprry, you need to relogin
[13:15] <carpii> i thought you meant /etc/aliases
[13:15] <jrib> Davedan: man 5 apt.conf  seems to be what I wanted to give you :)
[13:15] <prince_jammys> dixon_: just start a new shell. or: . ~/.bashrc   (the first command is a dot)
[13:16] <^paradox^> this is a ubuntu related question cause linux mint pretty much is ubuntu. is linux mint fully compatible with dell inspiron 531S? has anyone successfully installed it to a dell inspiron 531S?
[13:16] <prince_jammys> dixon_: the dot will source your .bashrc, which also happens when you open a new shell
[13:16] <dixon_> thank you guys for quick help! I just logged in and out, guess that have the same effect
[13:16] <dixon_> thanks
[13:16] <dixon_> oh, out, and in that should be :)
[13:18] <mastt> what's the syntax to execute a command to get a string in a config file? e.g. user = `echo /etc/user` ?
[13:18] <mastt> I mean cat*
[13:18] <ikonia> grep user= file
[13:18] <^paradox^> i have ubuntu on this pc, but it would mak things easier to use liux mint on hers
[13:18] <ikonia> or strings ?
[13:18] <ikonia> ^paradox^: put mint on it then
[13:18] <Davedan>  jrib: I'm reading  man 5 now
[13:19] <g33k_gir1> can anyone recommend a friendly hardware channel?
[13:20] <|Wo1F|> Question: i removed one of the SCSI HDD and when i boot i get Grub Error 17. Some one please help me how to fix my grub. Any one please?
[13:20] <^paradox^> ikonia: i dont have restore CDs. as im admittedly no good with a command line i dont wanna do something irreversible without some prior knowledge
[13:20] <ikonia> ^paradox^: don't do it then
[13:21] <^paradox^> well i did give it a test a drive which went well except for two things
[13:22] <^paradox^> just as it was about to load the desktop enviroment the screen went blank then came up with the dialog out of range
[13:24] <Davedan>  jrib: weird, there are both Pre-Invoke  and Pre-Install-Pkgs but only Post_invoke
[13:24] <Husi> elo
[13:24] <^paradox^> then i had to enable the video card driver for the nvidia video card. it enabled just fine, but when i tried to play an mmorpg with 3d ps1 like graphics it wouldnt let me
[13:25] <ikonia> ^paradox^: as we don't support mint in here - this is not the right place to talk about your tests
[13:25] <^paradox^> ok i get it
[13:25] <sammyF> hey there. how can I recursively change the owner of hidden files? chown doesn't have a -a or whatever option :/
[13:26] <ikonia> sammyF: chown -R
[13:26] <sammyF> ikonia: nope. does only the visible files
[13:26] <|Wo1F|> Question: i removed one of the SCSI HDD and when i boot i get Grub Error 17. Some one please help me how to fix my grub. Anyone!?!?!?!
[13:26] <ikonia> sammyF: no - it will do hidden too
[13:26] <mastt> sammyF: maybe ls -a | chown will work
[13:27] <sammyF> sigh ... then something is borked. I thought it would, but I still got files whose owner didn't chane
[13:27] <carpii> try using find then piping it into xargs chown
[13:27] <ikonia> sammyF: you can only change the owner if you are already the owner
[13:27] <^paradox^> ill give it a rest. but damn u gotta understand too we cant all afford to shell out $250 for tech ok so give me a brake
[13:27] <ikonia> ^paradox^: who is making you pay - support is free
[13:27] <sammyF> ikonia: I know. I did it with sudo, so it should work. kind of very weird
[13:28] <ikonia> sammyF: all the files changed accept for your . files
[13:28] <sammyF> ikonia: yes
[13:28] <ikonia> ^paradox^: and your financial situation does not allow you to get support for mint in here
[13:28] <ikonia> sammyF: most odd, I just did a test and it worked fine
[13:28] <surf3r> alright, there's initrd and my kernel itself in /boot, i try to boot it and it says unable to load VS blah blah block point.....did i miss something?
[13:28] <^paradox^> alright already i get it
[13:28] <sammyF> ikonia: yeah .. I jsut tried it again on my "other" computer and it worked fine there too.
[13:29] <ikonia> sammyF: most odd, anything specific about those files ?
[13:29] <sammyF> ikonia: must be something with the install here. Anyway, thanks .. At least I know I wasn't completely wrong
[13:29] <ikonia> sammyF: are they in use (shouldn't matter) or locked ?
[13:29] <Axel_ESP> helloo!!!
[13:29] <mastt> sammyF: can you chown one of the files manually?
[13:29] <Axel_ESP> helloo
[13:29] <Axel_ESP> can you help me?
[13:30] <ikonia> Axel_ESP: ask, and lets sing
[13:30] <sammyF> ikonia: hmm .. they are owned by root, although they are the config files in my home dir. I backuped them on my MMC card (it's on an acer aspire one) before reinstalling ubuntu
[13:30] <quibbler> !ask | Axel_ESP
[13:30] <flavio> hi
[13:30] <Axel_ESP> spanish please?
[13:30] <quibbler> !es
[13:30] <carpii> sammy, cd to the directory the do        sudo find . -name ".*" | xargs chown owner.owner
[13:30] <carpii> that will recurse through all hidden files and directories changing the owner
[13:30] <nething> Hello, I have enabled ufw firewall and set default access to deny, but I'm testing it with bittornado and the download is working, shouldn't it be blocked?
[13:30] <sammyF> mastt: yep. just tried, it it worked
[13:31] <sammyF> carpii: great! thanks
[13:31] <carpii> np
[13:31] <mastt> carpii: is it normal that you need to do that for hidden files?
[13:31] <carpii> nething, depends if you set deny for incoming or outgoing
[13:31] <nething> carpii: deny is for all incoming
[13:31] <carpii> mastt, well its not that usual you have hidden files with the wrong owner, since theyre normally created by whoever needs them
[13:32] <^paradox^> ill check the channel list
[13:32] <carpii> i think its only because he copied them from sdcard
[13:32] <sammyF> carpii: wonderfull .. it worked
[13:32] <carpii> gear :)
[13:32] <carpii> uh
[13:32] <carpii> great :)
[13:32] <sammyF> and off I go to finish this install
[13:32] <sammyF> thanks again guys
[13:32] <sammyF> (or girls)
[13:35] <surf3r> i installed a new kernel, and updated grub, and grub shows the kernel and the initfs entries, but unable to boot kernel.
[13:36] <^paradox^> theres one unofficial channel on here with like 7 users. ill try it
[13:40] <quizme> how do you have your .bashrc script be read into your current shell
[13:40] <quizme> i don't want to have close my window then open it up again
[13:42] <ikonia> quizme: . .bashrc
[13:42] <g33k_gir1> does anyone know anything about flatscreens, or a channel that could help troubleshoot a flatscreen monitor?
[13:45] <ikonia> g33k_gir1: #hardware ?
[13:49] <opr> guys, here is my xorg.conf file (screen section) http://pastebin.com/m19e8eeda, however, my screen resolution is always 1024x768 when i start up ubuntu!
[13:49] <ikonia> opr: what video card do you have ?
[13:49] <opr> nvidia 9800 GT
[13:49] <NativeAngels> how do you configure the resolv.conf file ?
[13:50] <opr> how do i configure the what?
[13:50] <ikonia> NativeAngels: use a text editor - really simple, or let network manager/network gui do it for you
[13:50] <ikonia> opr: I suspect you are probably not using the right xorg video drivers
[13:50] <opr> ok
[13:50] <opr> but
[13:50] <opr> i have the cool effects enables
[13:50] <ikonia> opr: if you go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers menu - does it show an nvidia driver available
[13:51] <opr> so i think it is working
[13:51] <cornell> Well, thanks for the help, guys, I got phpsysinfo working, after many hours of googling ;-( figured it out on my own.
[13:51] <ikonia> opr: that's quite a late card so full support may not be available, lets see
[13:51] <blizzle> Out of interest, I have a graphics card identified as NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro].. can't seem to get proprietary drivers with 3d acceleration loaded at all.. any ideas?
[13:51] <opr> it says its available AND enabled.
[13:51] <opr> i can easily make my res go to 1280x1024 but it always resets at startup
[13:51] <ikonia> blizzle: what type of card is it
[13:52] <ikonia> opr: how are you making it go to the higher res ?
[13:52] <blizzle> ikonia: It's a Riva TNT2 I think (pci).
[13:52] <opr> gksudo nvidia-settings
[13:52] <mado> oi guys and gals ... hello there ...
[13:52] <innxis> Help! My lg flatron l1919s monitor doese'nt work to full resolution! :(
[13:52] <vigo> cornell:that is good to hear, please post any fixes or resolved errors in the Forums so that others may learn.
[13:52] <ikonia> opr: intereting, as nvidia-settings normally changes and saves config to the xorg.conf
[13:52] <opr> yeah i always save to X file too
[13:52] <ikonia> blizzle: isn't that a very very old card
[13:53] <innxis> :(
[13:53] <ikonia> opr: have you considered saving the changes it makes manually ?
[13:53] <sky_> how i can resize my partitions ?
[13:53] <blizzle> ikonia: Yes, it's ancient! 16MB onboard ram.
[13:53] <ikonia> sky_: use gparted
[13:53] <opr> i shall try
[13:53] <mado> i wanted to ask you ... do you think it's possible to run "*buntu 8.10" on an "acer aspire 7730g" ... as far as i read there shouldn't be much problems
[13:53] <ikonia> blizzle: probably why no 3d - support was dropped for old cards
[13:53] <sky_> i dont see there a resize function
[13:53] <innxis> ikonia
[13:53] <ikonia> mado: try it
[13:54] <blizzle> ikonia: Can't even get a proprietary driver installed.. even though the card is supposedly supported by the nvidia drivers. :/
[13:54] <Renesis-3> Bonjour
[13:54] <ikonia> blizzle: who said it's supported ?
[13:54] <blizzle> ikonia: nvidia's site.
[13:54] <ikonia> blizzle: old card support was dropped from a lot of the newer drivers
[13:54] <ikonia> blizzle: really, can you show me the link
[13:55] <vigo> Is there a type tutor or somesuch thing , and if so, which do you or would you recommend?
[13:55] <mado> and erm ... should i just download the "ubuntu desktop i386" one?
