[06:04] <tux_> ok then it may be your mother board
[06:04] <tux_> how old is it
[06:04] <Jordan_U> pratz: tux_: This is almost certainly due to a buggy BIOS as I have explained.
[06:04] <saruji_> almoxarife, i unplugged 3 hard drives and only left the one I wanted to install to and as a result it did not show up
[06:04] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: yup windoze is loaded.
[06:05] <tuanht> does anyone known how to run a custom-script after ubiquity installer complete? (d-i preseed/late_command not work for me)
[06:05] <djcaston> acklee what do i do? the only text in the doc is two lines: auto lo and iface lo inet loopback
[06:05] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: wanted to do a scandisk but eff that i canceled that junk.
[06:05] <tux_> it may be but eather he gets a better bios or a new mother board
[06:05] <Jordan_U> tux_: Or creates a small /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive.
[06:06] <tux_> it ant going to matter if the bios wont load it up
[06:06] <almoxarife> saruji_: you are installing 11.04, have you tried the cd/dvd, not the live, the one with repair/install
[06:06] <saruji_> almoxarife, no but I will give it a shot in a second
[06:07] <greg> how do i create a file that has a value of 5?
[06:07] <saruji_> almoxarife, by the way, i'm in GParted and the hard drive is showing up split into two just like it did in windows
[06:07] <Jordan_U> greg: What do you mean by a value of 5?
[06:07] <andrew__> hey can someone help me with xubuntu 11.04
[06:07] <saruji_> almoxarife, and I've never hidden a drive so I dont know why it would be that...
[06:08] <greg> Jordan
[06:08] <greg> i'm not sure myself
[06:08] <greg> i'm trying to figure that out
[06:08] <almoxarife> saruji_: nothing to lose by trying the dvd/cd
[06:08] <greg> would it be something like "MYVAR1="5""?
[06:08] <andrew__> how can i restore the bottom panel in xubuntu 11.04
[06:08] <saruji_> almoxarife, right burning now, thanks for helping
[06:08] <Jordan_U> greg: What are you trying to accomplish?
[06:09] <greg> essentially i'm trying to create a file, where one line has a value of 5
[06:09] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: If you want to try again then boot the LiveCD and run "sudo mount /dev/sdd5 /mnt/; sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/; sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/; sudo mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/; sudo chroot /mnt/" then "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc".
[06:09] <almoxarife> saruji_: I am talking about the 'alternate' cd, btw
[06:09] <Jordan_U> greg: What is your end goal>?
[06:09] <FriGiN> Jordan_U, you going to stay awake for a bit? if you want i will if not i'll try it another day.
[06:10] <saruji_> almoxarife, what do you mean?  So i have the default download from ubuntu.com of 11.04 64 bit, burnt to a cd right?
[06:10] <greg> ah, well the end goal is to create a script that reads the value from that file
[06:10] <tux_> just try to redownload must be a bad download
[06:10] <tux_> :)
[06:10] <almoxarife> saruji_: not sure, the default is something like 'desktop-11.04' I assume, and that is not it
[06:11] <greg> so I'm trying to create 2 files, file1 has a line with a value of 5, file2 has a line with a value of 100, and i'm trying to write a script to read the values from both files
[06:11] <Delrayne> hrm, just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and the OS icon wasn't on my desktop now it is...how can I get it off without breaking things? The only option I see is unmount, but that would bad right?
[06:11] <Jordan_U> greg: Then MYVAR=5 and loading the file with "source /path/to/file/" is the easiest solution, though completely insecure if you can't trust the file not to be mallicious.
[06:11] <neology> hi.. what are the good mobile web developer tools for ubuntu?
[06:12] <greg> Jordan: don't worry this is for my own practice and knowledge
[06:12] <almoxarife> saruji_: the one I am talking about http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-amd64.iso
[06:13] <Delrayne> if I unmount 'OS' from my desktop will that unmount that drive completely? Or just remove it from my desktop?
[06:13] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: I am going to leave now, come back in 10-20 minutes for a short time, then go to sleep.
[06:13] <greg> Jordan, any idead how I would divide the values from file 2 by the value in file1, and output the result of the calculation in a new file? :)
[06:13] <bullgard4> What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.)
[06:13] <saruji_> almoxarife, downloading it
[06:13] <Delrayne> greg: what language?
[06:14] <dev1ced> necesito ayuda con capturadora
[06:14] <greg> delrayne: bash
[06:14] <almoxarife> Delrayne: unmounts completely
[06:14] <greg> i'm trying to create a bash script
[06:14] <bullgard4> !es | dev1ced
[06:14] <Delrayne> greg: oh...well sorry can't help. almoxarife: how do I get it off the desktop then?
[06:15] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: brb then
[06:15] <greg> delrayne: thanks anyway :)
[06:15] <almoxarife> Delrayne: you mean just the icon?
[06:15] <avik42> how do I set windows to default boot in grub please?
[06:15] <Delrayne> almoxarife: yeah, this is my first linux experience, so bear with the stupidity a bit.
[06:16] <andrew__> how do i restore xubuntu 11.04 bottom panel to defult
[06:16] <andrew__> defaults
[06:17] <almoxarife> Delrayne: the thing is that those icons want to be created and put up for your enjoyment, you could delete the icon, but I think they return on the next re-boot
[06:17] <avik42> how do I set windows to default boot in grub please?
[06:18] <almoxarife> avik42: in windows 'system something' sets the boot options
[06:18] <bullgard4> avik42: You cannot. Grub is no windows manager.
[06:18] <Delrayne> almoxarife: Ah, it just wasn't there after install so I figured I'd keep it clean, but if it wants to be there, thats fine. Thanks for the info.
[06:19] <avik42> I am aware of that.. grub2 no longer has menu.lst .. I need to have my computer boot into windows as default, so my daughter can use it
[06:19] <tux_> well just reinstall the windows boot sector on it again
[06:19] <tux_> it well remove grub
[06:19] <avik42> I either need the file I can manually edit (in that case where can I find it) or is there an app I can download that I can use to make Windows partition boot by default
[06:19] <almoxarife> Delrayne: listen to someone who trashed 'the other drive' cause it was there, linux is merciless about allowing you to destroy data in connected drives
[06:20] <Delrayne> almoxarife: Noted!
[06:24] <FriGiN> Jordan_U, i'm back in ubu, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/642420/
[06:26] <almoxarife> avik42: did you get the answer?
[06:28] <sfergut> hi .. does someone know how where putty searches for fonts.. i want to install the dejavu Sans mono font on putty
[06:30] <dev1ced> i need help with a capture pci device
[06:30] <dev1ced> please
[06:31] <dev1ced> i need help with a capture pci device
[06:31] <dev1ced> i need help with a capture pci device
[06:31] <Saruji> 11.04 live cd is taking longer than 5 minutes to load...so far, still loading...normal?  Comp is C2D 3.0 Ghz
[06:32] <almoxarife> Saruji: live? or 'alternate'?
[06:32] <Saruji> almoxarife live, still downloading alternate
[06:33] <almoxarife> Saruji: still? bittorrent much faster
[06:33] <sfergut> i was able to install the font so now putty works great
[06:33] <Saruji> almoxarife i'm on the university network we are capped
[06:33] <almoxarife> Saruji: the live and alternate are like 600-800 meg
[06:34] <almoxarife> Saruji: sorry to hear
[06:34] <Saruji> almoxarife yeah and torrents are blocked
[06:35] <FriGiN> where's the hide part/join in xchat.. i had it like 10 mins ago.. apparently im special ed..

[06:45] <BKTech86> hi, I'm trying to configure grub with ubuntu on 1 hard drive and windows xp on a 2nd hard drive .. i had to remove the boot flag from the windows xp partition in order to get grub working again, but now if i try to boot the windows xp  partition it says bootmgr missing
[06:46] <BKTech86> i just want grub to recognize that the windows xp partition is bootable, and list it in the grub menu, can anyone help pls?
[06:47] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: That's an error message from Windows, not from grub.
[06:47] <BKTech86> yeah i know
[06:48] <BKTech86> but how can i fix the whole situation
[06:48] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: For help fixing Windows try ##windows.
[06:48] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: did you see my pastebin
[06:48] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Yes.
[06:48] <bullgard4> What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.)
[06:48] <BKTech86> im not trying to fix windows im trying to get grub to recognize the windows partition and put it in the menu list
[06:49] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: Once Windows is actually in a working state "sudo update-grub" will add an entry for it to the grub menu.
[06:49] <BKTech86> well it was in a working state
[06:49] <BKTech86> until i removed the boot flag
[06:49] <BKTech86> and i did update-grub
[06:50] <BKTech86> thats all i did and now its not in the  list (1) and it wont boot (2)
[06:50] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: Did you install grub's boot sector to a partition rather than the mbr?
[06:50] <BKTech86> ill tell you exactly what i did
[06:51] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[06:51] <BKTech86> i mounted my normal linux partition that install grub to
[06:51] <BKTech86> then i did sudo grub-install root-directory=/mnt/mountpointoflinux /dev/sda
[06:51] <BKTech86> --root-directory*
[06:51] <BKTech86> that's what i did
[06:52] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/642430/
[06:52] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: Then the boot flag on the Windows partition should't have made any difference as far as grub working.
[06:52] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: Unless you have a buggy BIOS or there is more to the story than that.
[06:52] <BKTech86> Jordan_U: i know thats what someone else said when i installed windows7 on the same partition as that linux partition but it does make a difference
[06:53] <BKTech86> now i can boot that linux partition and the grub menu comes up just the same as before i can choose windows7 or ubuntu but not the windowsxp partition on the other drive
[06:53] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: at the end of all this remapping if i can get it to work right, will i ever be able to mount the raid0 drive?
[06:54] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Replace /dev/sdd in the commands with /dev/sda.
[06:54] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Yes.
[06:54] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: What happens when you restore the boot flag to the XP partition?
[06:55] <BKTech86> i get that bootmgr missing error i told u about
[06:55] <BKTech86> now if i take it away, grub will come up
[06:55] <BKTech86> im in live cd right now
[06:55] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | BKTech86
[06:55] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: so "sudo mount /dev/sdd5 /mnt/" becomes "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/" yes?
[06:56] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Correct.
[06:57] <FriGiN> Jordan_U:  ok were golden, asking for input on the command line editor
[06:57] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Leave it at its default (probably blank).
[06:57] <FriGiN> yes
[06:57] <especially-corn> hello
[06:58] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: asking for flags "quiet splash"
[06:58] <especially-corn> fglrx installation failed for me every time (for 2.6.39 kernel)
[06:58] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Again, leave it at the default.
[06:58] <especially-corn> /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.840/build/2.6.x/firegl_public.c:117:28: fatal error: linux/smp_lock.h: No such file or directory
[06:58] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: For the install devices select /dev/sda (select a drive by pressing space bar, continue to the next menu by pressing enter).
[06:58] <BKTech86> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/dfn3cFHM
[06:59] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: just as a Q, the previous dialog box had information pertaining to installing grub to all drives, is that such a bad idea in this case?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: Make sure sda is the first in the boot priority or install grub to sdb and sdc as well.
[06:59] <_adrian_> hi
[07:00] <BKTech86> Jordan_U: make sure how
[07:00] <BKTech86> oh in bios? it is
[07:00] <Jack87> oh boy.. i need some support via networking in linux
[07:00] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Normally it would be a good idea. With Fakeraid it is not a good idea.
[07:00] <BKTech86> Jordan_U: do you know what boot-sector type is?
[07:00] <Jack87> i feel bad because im sure this question has been beat to death by now with all the mobile devices and tablet pcs out there
[07:01] <Jack87> but i want ot be able to broadcast wifi access point from laptop for tablet to connect to
[07:01] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: ok, also it shows a 2nd line "- /dev/sda5 (118924 MB; /)"
[07:01] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: The symptoms + boot info script output suggest otherwise. I'm betting if you select sda in a one time boot menu grub will load no matter what boot flags are where.
[07:01] <Jack87> not quit sure where to start. any advice would be great
[07:01] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Do not select that. Select only sda then continue.
[07:01] <BKTech86> Jordan_U: ok but i already did that and i'm telling you it's not the case
[07:01] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: thx.
[07:02] <_adrian_> hi
[07:02] <BKTech86> Jordan_U: if that boot flag is on the windows xp partition it doesnt matter what drive i select in my bios
[07:02] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: How are you selecting a drive?
[07:02] <BKTech86> boot order ?
[07:02] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/642435/
[07:02] <pratz> tux_: now i am trying to install from usb stick
[07:03] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: looks ok, however, i'm still on thumbdrive, no install has happened.
[07:03] <bullgard4> What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.)
[07:03] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: Sometimes some drives take longer to spin up or otherwise be recognised, that's why I mentioned a one time boot menu rather than just boot priority.
[07:03] <pratz> tux_:  i have plugged in usb , how do i find the usb device name ??
[07:03] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Try booting from sda.
[07:03] <BKTech86> what do you mean a one time boot menu
[07:04] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: ok on my way.
[07:04] <pratz> how do i find the usb device name which is plugged in ??
[07:04] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: Most BIOSs will show a message like "press F8 for a one time boot menu" (where F8 might be some other key) which will list all drives and allow you to select one to boot without changing the boot priority permanently.
[07:05] <BKTech86> my bios doesnt have that option on my desktop
[07:05] <BKTech86> my script says windows is installed in the mbr of sdb
[07:06] <BKTech86> what exactly does that mean
[07:07] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: It means that the mbr of that drive contains Microsoft code which will search for the first active partition and load the code from the first sector of that partition.
[07:07] <sam1234> hei guys/gals i installed latest NVIDIA driver on my acer laptop. but it giving me device not found error. what could be da wrong ?
[07:08] <BKTech86> so how does that tie into my grub installation on sda5
[07:08] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: restarted str8 to win7
[07:08] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: happy to muck about this another time.
[07:08] <Jordan_U> FriGiN: Be sure your BIOS is actually booting from sda (which could be numbered differently in the BIOS, go by size /brand information).
[07:09] <FriGiN> Jordan_U: 95% sure. will check.
[07:09] <Jordan_U> BKTech86: If your BIOS were booting sda it would make no difference at all
[07:10] <ar0nic> guys im trying to figure out how to set up or read the log in vlc, ive set it to log, and chose a specific file to it output to, so im a bit miffed, but i can have it log to the ubuntu logs, i just dont know how to read them
[07:11] <kaellan> my vlc is laggy, prefer the one included in ubuntu :)
[07:11] <ar0nic> vlc is far better than for what im lookign for
[07:11] <ar0nic> but i catn seem to get any video streaming
[07:11] <almoxarife> ar0nic: you already have vlc logging to a file
[07:11] <ar0nic> yeah but nothing is there
[07:11] <dattebayo> hey guys i recently upgrade my 10.10 to 11.04 so i wanted to know is it possible to revert it? downgrade it to 10.10?
[07:12] <wabznasm> ar0nic: permissions on log dir?
[07:12] <ar0nic> so im either doing it wrong, or there is another file somewhere, a log it creates when i turn on logging
[07:12] <ar0nic> wabznasm,  its on my desktop..
[07:12] <wabznasm> ar0nic, sounds fair - and vlc runs as what user?
[07:12] <almoxarife> ar0nic: where did you place the log? in your home folder or elsewhere?
[07:12] <sam1234> no survival for me ?
[07:13] <ar0nic> home/user/desktop
[07:15] <pratz_> how do i find the usb device name which is plugged in ??
[07:15] <Rouse> sudo  ./ "command not found"
[07:15] <Rouse> what the error
[07:16] <wabznasm> pratz_: ls -la /media ?
[07:16] <wabznasm> pratz: storage or a device though?
[07:16] <BKTech86> pratiz_: try sudo blkid
[07:17] <djcaston> can someone tell me how to install guidedog on natty?
[07:17] <pratz_> wabznasm: thanks dude thats it
[07:17] <isaakubus> hi
[07:17] <BKTech86> Jordan_U: now that i've turned on the boot flag for my sda ext4 partition, grub will come up
[07:17] <mikunos> hi guys
[07:17] <crackerjackz> i just installed ubuntu on my desktop using wubi, after wubi was done it wanted to reboot, so i let it. it says error: unknown filesystem grub rescue>
[07:17] <BKTech86> im in my native linux partition -- how can i add windows xp to the grub boot list (its on another hard drive)?
[07:17] <Rouse> when am trying to install i gave sudo ./ "filename.sh"
[07:18] <astraljava> Rouse: `sudo ./filename.sh`, but are you sure what you're doing?
[07:18] <astraljava> Rouse: That might be a dangerous command.
[07:18] <astraljava> Rouse: Be absolutely sure what the script is doing, in order to not mess up your system.
[07:19] <mikunos> my sondcard doesn't work with the last kernel and I don't understand why. I have already set all the audio preferences but nothing. My last kernel is Linux vaio 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux http://imagebin.org/162722 http://imagebin.org/162723
[07:19] <Rouse> the error is sudo: ./: command not found
[07:19] <Rouse> how to correct it
[07:20] <fairuz> Rouse: Make sure the .sh file is in the current directory
[07:20] <wabznasm> Rouse: you got a space between ./ and filename? should be sudo ./filename.sh
[07:20] <stimpie> anyone knows a simple script to log basic performance info such as cpu usage?
[07:20] <pratz_> hey guys i am following this tutorial http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html
[07:20] <mikunos> any idea?
[07:20] <pratz_> sudo syslinux /dev/sdbX - this is the command i am stuck in
[07:20] <Rouse> ./filename command not found
[07:21] <BKTech86> pratz
[07:21] <pratz_> i have to replace "sdbX" with my usb device name
[07:21] <wabznasm> Rouse: didn't you say it was filename.sh?
[07:21] <astraljava> Rouse: Does the file have execute permissions? If not, then `chmod +x filename.sh`
[07:21] <BKTech86> there is a utility to make a usb stick
[07:21] <Rouse> yeah exactly
[07:21] <BKTech86> pratz just go to system, administration, startupdisk creator
[07:21] <BKTech86> create your usb stick there
[07:21] <BKTech86> then reboot with it and install
[07:21] <genjix> http://ideone.com/Yvm5Z

[07:22] <crackerjackz> i do not have any blank cds or a flash drive with enough space to install ubuntu .. so i used wubi but i get this.. error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> i do have damn small linux on a flash drive though.. would this guide fix my grub rescue problem? http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/
[07:24] <astraljava> Rouse: Could you pastebin the following: `ls -l filename.sh` and `./filename.sh`, please?
[07:25] <fairuz> Rouse: Maybe you are in a wrong directory?
[07:25] <ar0nic> guys what would i do to track down the log for vlc
[07:25] <ar0nic> ive tried to create a log, and it wont output it, ive tried a manual flag and its not working
[07:27] <crackerjackz> how come fdisk -l only list my flash drive?
[07:28] <bullgard4> What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.)
[07:29] <crackerjackz> thats so bizzare

[07:31] <lei_> root@lei-ThinkPad-X200:/usr/lib/virt-manager# virt-manager
[07:31] <lei_> sh: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory
[07:31] <lei_> Traceback (most recent call last):
[07:31] <lei_>   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 26, in <module>
[07:31] <lei_>     import libvirt
[07:31] <FloodBot1> lei_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:32] <lei_> who knows how to uninstall libvirt? I need help
[07:33] <Rouse> how come the sudo chmod +x is working but ./ alone ..command not found :(
[07:33] <lei_> I have two version on my laptop right now, and the virt-manager can not work
[07:33] <CapTech> Rouse: What kind of program/script?
[07:33] <mrprise> hello
[07:33] <kobe1> hello
[07:34] <wabznasm> Rouse: what's your pwd now?
[07:34] <Rouse> thts a our own program
[07:34] <gmorek> hi
[07:34] <wabznasm> Rouse: what's your pwd now? - current directory
[07:34] <kobe1> hello everybody
[07:34] <CapTech> Rouse: If it's a script, do you have the #!/bin/bash or what ever shebang set correctly?
[07:34] <Rouse> home directory
[07:34] <lei_> Hi, can anybody help me
[07:34] <mrprise> Im trying to use ubuntu in virtualbox. how can I change the screen's resolution? the monitor it detects is unknown and I only have 1024x768, but I want 1280
[07:34] <lei_> hi
[07:34] <CapTech> Rouse: What file system is your home dir on?
[07:34] <wabznasm> mrprise: you installed VBox Tools?
[07:35] <gmorek> Does anyone know, how I can access the sandisk commands through a usb connected card reader?
[07:35] <kobe1> install VMware Tools
[07:35] <mrprise> I tried  but it shuts down gnome and does not seem to work
[07:35] <kobe1> o my god \
[07:35] <wabznasm> mrpsie: how are you doing it?
[07:35] <eddiemonge> silly question, but how exactly do i enable git-shell?
[07:35] <lei_> Is there anybody who install libvirt?
[07:35] <lei_> or compile it
[07:36] <mrprise> wabznasm: I have the vbox additions cdrom on the desktop, I clicked on it, then run with the autorun
[07:36] <CapTech> lei_: Not I, sorry.
[07:36] <lei_> I need to un-install libvirt, since the virt-manager can not work
[07:36] <mrprise> it is a fresh 11.04 ubuntu.
[07:36] <kobe1> first  select the menu in virtualbox
[07:36] <lei_> oh...thanks all the same~
[07:37] <wabznasm> mrpsie: just in case, try running the .sh file from a terminal
[07:37] <CapTech> lei_: Have you googled the heck out of it yet?
[07:37] <CapTech> lei_: Google is your best friend.
[07:37] <mrprise> wabznasm: I tried that too.
[07:37] <kobe1> i try baidu
[07:37] <wabznasm> mrpsise: hmm. I do have some VMs I used where I can't get 1920x1080, but can usually get 1280x1024
[07:38] <crackerjackz> wabznasm, ahh i was wrong the bios does detect the hard drive it appears my HD is abunch of random letters and numbers
[07:38] <wabznasm> crackerjackz: that does not sound good :(
[07:38] <CapTech> crackerjackz: Are you seeing your drive, or the UUID of the drive?
[07:38] <tombuntu> i've a question, why when install ubuntu i can install only in one disk? i've 3 but i can't choose
[07:38] <lei_> yes ,i used google, but still can not find answer to solve it
[07:39] <CapTech> lei_: I'll talk to you in the PM you sent me.
[07:39] <wabznasm> lei_ what about the README and INSTALL in the src.tar.gz?
[07:39] <crackerjackz> when i press f12 for boot menu i see onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive then i see ST3320620AS and USB Device
[07:39] <crackerjackz> the one with the numbers and letters is my hard drive
[07:39] <wabznasm> crackerjackz: less reason for panicking then...
[07:40] <wabznasm> crackerjackz: random numbers and letters are your serial code for your SeaGate drive (IIRC)
[07:40] <wabznasm> model number...
[07:40] <crackerjackz> wabznasm, i see
[07:40] <crackerjackz> wabznasm, so how come my hard drive wont show up when i fdisk -l from dsl
[07:40] <lei_> the first version i used apt-get install to install, and the second version i wget 0.7.5. tar.gz and compile it
[07:40] <crackerjackz> i ran it as root too
[07:40] <Rouse> CapTech,  yeah its a script
[07:41] <wabznasm> crackerjackz: difficult to say for sure. Before my sata bit the dust, I got lots of error messages in dmesg - anything there that looks nasty?
[07:41] <CapTech> Rouse: Make sure the very top line of it is #!/bin/bash or #/!usr/bin/perl or whatever script program it should be.
[07:41] <CapTech> Oops #!/usr/bin/perl
[07:41] <CapTech> LOL.
[07:43] <crackerjackz> none of my partitions are showing up
[07:43] <bullgard4> What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.)
[07:43] <crackerjackz> wabznasm, i dunno i can't pastebin it i cant get net
[07:43] <crackerjackz> wabznasm, what kind of errors should i look for in dmesg?
[07:44] <kural> Hello
[07:45] <wabznasm> crackerjackz, errors prefixed sataX, hard resetting link, link down, reset failed. Ugly stuff that doesn't sound good. Hoipefully you won't
[07:45] <kural> I have a external disk , besides the main disk . My problem , how to mount partiotions of extemal disks in readonly mode , as disk are different most of the times.
[07:45] <crackerjackz> wabznasm, VFS: can't find ex2 filesystem on dev sd(8,1).
[07:46] <Rouse> but it was not accessible when i was trying to access through folders
[07:46] <wabznasm> crackerjackz: a gioolge search shows some results for that which might be worth reading
[07:47] <CapTech> Rouse: I'm not sure what you mean.
[07:47] <megrem> set up postfix but it refuses to send mails to foreign hosts: relay access denied
[07:47] <crackerjackz> wabznasm well the error im getting is grub rescue invald filesystem... i found this but, this guide isn't going to work unless i can see my partitons
[07:47] <megrem> receiving mails works
[07:47] <crackerjackz> http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/
[07:47] <wabznasm> megrem: where is your host? AWS?
[07:48] <megrem> wabnasm: don't understand your question^^
[07:48] <wabznasm> megrem: you have setup postfix on a server somewhere. Where is your host?
[07:49] <wangshouyi> Hi,why the output of 'file' command always include "for Linux 2.6.15"?
[07:49] <megrem> wabznasm: server stands in frankfurt/germany, my host is in oldenburg/germany and the foreign mailserver is yahoo
[07:49] <wabznasm> crackerjackz: so you've booted with a live cd (I didn't read any previous messages of yours) is thatright?
[07:49] <wangshouyi> But my kernel version is 2.6.35
[07:50] <crackerjackz> wabznasm, i booted into damn small linux with a usb flash drive.. when i run the command fdisk -l it doesn't show my hard drive.. none of my partitions show up
[07:50] <wabznasm> megrem: ok - not sure if I can help you then. I have experience of outgoing email problems on cloud based hostsm but maybe this is not your issue
[07:50] <CapTech> crackerjackz: Try a cat /proc/partitions and see if anything shows up there.
[07:51] <megrem> wabznasm: nah i think it's a configuration issue of postfix.. tried everything and over 9000 howtos
[07:51] <wabznasm> megrem: not an area I can help with, I leave it for someone else
[07:51] <crackerjackz> CapTech, it says 503808 sda and 497983 sda1
[07:52] <wangshouyi> Hi,why the output of 'file' command always include "for Linux 2.6.15"?
[07:52] <crackerjackz> i have 3 partitons though.. one of those partitions that is showing is my flash drive
[07:52] <llutz> megrem: you use sasl-auth for sending mail?
[07:52] <CapTech> crackerjackz: How many physical drives do you  have?
[07:53] <megrem> llutz: no, any tutorials on how to set it up?
[07:53] <gry> I'm reading second response at <http://serverfault.com/questions/113675/what-is-the-difference-between-usr-local-bin-usr-local-sbin>. On Ubuntu, should I have `/usr/local/sbin` in my path only if I'm a sudoer, for all users, or for root only?
[07:53] <crackerjackz> CapTech, just 1
[07:53] <llutz> megrem: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
[07:53] <crackerjackz> sda1 is my cd drive i think
[07:53] <CapTech> crackerjackz: No.
[07:53] <CapTech> crackerjackz: sda is your first hard disk.
[07:53] <CapTech> sda1 is the first logical drive on the hard disk.
[07:54] <CapTech> Or the first partition.
[07:54] <BKTech86> is anyone a grub expert?
[07:54] <CapTech> If you are only showing 1 logical drive in /proc/partitions under /dev/sda, then your other partition has been erased or is damaged.
[07:55] <CapTech> crackerjackz: /dev/sr0 should be your cdrom.
[07:55] <gry> !anyone > BKTech86
[07:55] <llutz> megrem: btw there is a #postfix channel too, you might get more help there
[07:55] <crackerjackz> CapTech, sda1 is my flash drive.. i just now mounted it
[07:56] <BKTech86> ubottu: because that is my real question
[07:56] <HAWK_> is anyone on here?
[07:56] <megrem> thanks so far llutz
[07:56] <CapTech> crackerjackz: Do you have a physical drive installed in the computer?
[07:56] <CapTech> crackerjackz: I came into your problem late, so I don't know the history of what you've said.
[07:56] <CapTech> HAWK_: Um, yeah, can't you see us talking?  :)
[07:57] <crackerjackz> CapTech, yes.. it was working fine an hour ago. i didnt have a way to install ubuntu so i used wubi. it told me to restart my computer. when i did it said invalid file system grub rescue>
[07:57] <HAWK_> i guess i didnt let it load before i stuck my fingers in
[07:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> HAWK_: i'm here via a iphone
[07:58] <CapTech> crackerjackz: Did you have your thumb drive also plugged in when that happened?
[07:58] <HAWK_> kool
[07:58] <crackerjackz> CapTech, no
[07:58] <HAWK_> i need help, is there another channel to use
[07:58] <CapTech> What are you booting up to?
[07:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> HAWK_: whats the problem
[07:59] <crackerjackz> CapTech, what do you mean?
[07:59] <HAWK_> amd 64 from a 32  10.04 install failure
[07:59] <CapTech> crackerjackz: How are you booting?
[07:59] <crackerjackz> CapTech, i dont know what you mean
[08:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> HAWK_: how so exacly?
[08:00] <CapTech> crackerjackz: If you don't have a hard disk working, how are you booting?
[08:00] <BKTech86> byedeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
[08:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> live cd
[08:00] <crackerjackz> CapTech, i have damn small linux on a USB flash drive
[08:00] <CapTech> crackerjackz: Ok.  That's how you booted then.
[08:01] <CapTech> Reboot the computer, and look in your BIOS and see if the disk is showing up there.
[08:01] <CapTech> That's the first place to start.
[08:01] <crackerjackz> CapTech, the disk shows up in the bios
[08:01] <HAWK_> it was running fine with vista premium, and 10.04 on top, then i tried to install 10.04 in 64 bt and it wont let me
[08:01] <crackerjackz> CapTech, ive already done that
[08:01] <HAWK_> lost vista and the 32
[08:01] <crackerjackz> CapTech, but for some reason fdisk -l will not show my partitions
[08:01] <crackerjackz> and cat /proc/partitions  only shows sda and sda1
[08:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> HAWK_: dual booting, wubi, or vm ?
[08:02] <CapTech> crackerjackz: Ok.  I'm just trying to run through the steps, so please be patient.
[08:02] <nibbler_> !ops sisri is onjoin spamming
[08:02] <bullgard4> What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.)
[08:03] <HAWK_> no , neither, i was dual, now i just want to run 10.04 64
[08:03] <HAWK_> or if i have to install xp, and dual boot with it to 64
[08:03] <HAWK_> i give up on vista
[08:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> HAWK_: do you already have ubuntu installed?
[08:05] <HAWK_> i did, it erased when i tried the 64 conversion
[08:06] <AFD> Any ideas why an SSH session would crash in Terminal when I'm using a VPN? (the whole conenction seems slow)
[08:07] <AFD> Is there a speed requirement to keep the session open?
[08:07] <zolgar> IS  there a program I can use to watch DVD's? I tried VLC player but its not working.
[08:07] <HAWK_> im on a memtest86 pass 100% test 17% then i will try to re-install from a usb
[08:07] <AFD> zolgar VLC will work but you may to have to look at the settings. What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[08:07] <soreau> What is onjoin spamming?
[08:07] <Tm_T> AFD: not more than the ping timeout limit
[08:08] <AFD> Tm_T ok
[08:08] <zolgar> AFD: 11.04
[08:08] <AFD> zolgar did you check the box at install that asks if you want to enable 3rd party / restricted stuff?
[08:09] <zolgar> AFD: You know... i don't know.. I might not have
[08:09] <kaellan> annyone know how to get a sd card reader to work in 64 bit ubuntu ?
[08:09] <AFD> zolgar ok, it's likely that you need those codecs then ;)
[08:09] <AFD> zolgar I'm no expert btw - think you (+Google) can take it from here?
[08:09] <gmorek> kaellan: Waht SD-Card reader? Mine works out of the box.
[08:10] <zolgar> AFD: Yup :D thanks
[08:10] <AFD> zolgar come back if you have problems ;) ciao
[08:10] <HAWK_> zolgar- u can use rhythmbox, totem movie player , banchee, muine, or beep media player
[08:12] <baijiu> zolgar just do     dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
[08:12] <baijiu> that will fix it
[08:12] <HAWK_> kaellan, did u go to the bios and check if it is on
[08:12] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Did you find any more information?
[08:13] <GiZme> Hello, iam wondering if anyone know howto disable the autorepeat function for all keyboards through hal
[08:14] <HAWK_> i have an xp question, what would be the reason that xp install will not find my 250g hard drive?
[08:14] <zolgar> baijiu: that didnt do anything
[08:15] <tsimpson> zolgar: don't run random commands unless you know what they do, that one is destructive
[08:15] <Charybdis> HAWK_: If it's on an addon SATA card, or has some special setup along with it, such as RAID, you may need to install drivers before it can be seen.
[08:17] <mrprise> I updated virtualbox, and installed the lates vboxadditions but I still can not use 1280, the max is 1024
[08:17] <HAWK_> how can i install drivers with no sys
[08:17] <sam1234> hei if my laptop have two VGA modules how should i configure the xorg.conf ?
[08:19] <Charybdis> HAWK_: ???  What do you mean?
[08:19] <kubanc> what application do i need to run IP webcam?
[08:19] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, not yet.. im about to put a windows cd in and see if it detects the partitions
[08:19] <Charybdis> HAWK_: It's part of the loadup.  If you read what the screen read as you are booting up the Win XP install CD/DVD, you'll see that it asks if you need to install any specific drivers.
[08:20] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Just for shits/grins, how about you shut down the system and physically disconnect the power and data cables to the physical drive, then reconnect them.
[08:20] <mrprise> how can I add more resolution to that list?
[08:20] <plouffe> mrprise, try #vbox
[08:20] <HAWK_> i have no system installed on that one, xp, im trying to install theos and it tells me there are no hard drives, there are i can see them
[08:20] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i already did that
[08:21] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Ok.  Again, I don't know what steps you've gone through, so please bear with me.
[08:21] <Charybdis> HAWK_: I understand.  As I said, it's part of the install process, not the post install.
[08:21] <HAWK_> im working 5 installs at once
[08:21] <Charybdis> Guys, I apologize if I am not making any sense, my pain meds are kicking in.
[08:22] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: What were you doing just before this occurred?
[08:22] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i was installing ubuntu using wubi.. it asked me to reboot my computer so i did. when it rebooted it gave me this error.
[08:22] <crackerjackz> invalid file system
[08:22] <crackerjackz> grub rescue >
[08:23] <crackerjackz> the windows cd detects a partition.. i'm running the recovery console
[08:23] <crackerjackz> it only detects 1 partition though
[08:23] <Charybdis> Ah.
[08:23] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: What was installed prior to that?
[08:24] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, windows, linux, and another NTFS partition with music and what not on it
[08:24] <Charybdis> Ok.
[08:24] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i wanted to reinstall linux.. i formtted the linux partition then used wubi to reinstall it
[08:25] <Charybdis> I'm not familiar with wubi, is that the ubuntu on thumbdrive tool?
[08:26] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: IS the drive an SATA or PATA/IDE?
[08:26] <bullgard4> What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.)
[08:26] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, it allows you to install ubuntu along side windows.. but you run wubi while booted into windows
[08:26] <goshawk> Charybdis, wubi is ubuntu on windows
[08:26] <Charybdis> Ah.
[08:26] <Charybdis> That's why I've never heard of it.  I don't run Windows.  LOL.
[08:27] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: What version of Windows was installed before this happened?
[08:27] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, windows xp home
[08:28] <eddiemonge> if i setup a git user and set that users shell to /usr/bin/git-shell, why do i keep getting fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled?
[08:28] <llutz> bullgard4: according some google-hits: to hold wifi-keys stored by gnome-keyring
[08:28] <odix> damn...i have 10 2 tb sata2 hds and 7 usb 500 gig hybrids hooked up to ubuntu right now
[08:28] <odix> =) running smooth
[08:28] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Ok, let's take this from the top.  When you take out the thumb drive and boot the computer from a powered off state, what happens?
[08:29] <bullgard4> llutz: Even though these files are empty?
[08:29] <Charybdis> odix: You sound like me.  LOL.
[08:29] <crackerjackz> it says invalid file system then i get a prompt that says
[08:29] <crackerjackz> grub rescue>
[08:29] <llutz> bullgard4: did you store any wifi-keys?
[08:29] <ikonia_> eddiemonge: look in /etc/shells
[08:29] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Ok.
[08:29] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[08:30] <odix> yep...
[08:30] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i think i can fix it.. every single one of my partitions show up
[08:30] <bullgard4> llutz: I have used this computer in foreign wifi networks. I did not store any keys by hand.
[08:30] <eddiemonge> ikonia_ is /etc/shells a script?
[08:30] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Let's reset your MBR back to a bootable state then.  If you are getting a grub error without the thumb drive in, then I think I know what's going on.  I deal with this all the time in Ubuntu installs.
[08:30] <Charybdis> Ah, ok.
[08:30] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, on the windows cd
[08:30] <odix> well im copying one hd two 7 other satas, but since i have no room left i took apart a bunch of external usbs, took out the sata to usb bs and just did a dd with one if and seven of...
[08:30] <odix> hope it works
[08:31] <ikonia> eddiemonge: no
[08:31] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Yeah, that's what you need to do, run a fixmbr from the Windows install cd.
[08:31] <llutz> bullgard4: then it might have other purposes. sry can't help
[08:31] <bullgard4> llutz: Thank you.
[08:32] <Charybdis> Although, I didn't think there was a recovery console included with the Home edition of XP.
[08:32] <Charybdis> I thought that was only with XP Pro.
[08:32] <eddiemonge> ikonia: what is it supposed to be? i see /etc/shells but it says its not a folder. do i just use that as the shell prompt?
[08:32] <ikonia> eddiemonge: open it and view the contents of the file
[08:33] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, it has a recovery console
[08:33] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Then go ahead and run fixboot and fixmbr
[08:33] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: That should get you back into Windows.
[08:34] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, it was the admin password but there is no password i leave i blank but it says invalid lol
[08:34] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Ok.
[08:34] <eddiemonge> ikonia: /usr/bin/git-shell is not in there. how do i enable it? adding it doesnt seem to change anyting
[08:34] <odix> copying dd 7 times at once...anybody see a prob with that? 500 gig img to 7 hds at once ?
[08:34] <odix> 16gig of ram ?
[08:35] <ikonia> eddiemonge: for a shell to be classed as a "login" shell, it needs to be in that file
[08:35] <gry> odix, copy serial, not in parallel, that usually is faster overall
[08:35] <odix> hmm
[08:35] <odix> to late
[08:36] <odix> your right tho
[08:36] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, it won't let me use the recovery console because it says i have the wrong admin password
[08:36] <eddiemonge> ikonia: hmm then how do i set git-shell? all the tutorials seem to imply that it just works
[08:36] <odix> i think it took like 45 mins last time for one so we will see... ;p
[08:36] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: One tic...
[08:37] <ikonia> eddiemonge: ls -la /usr/bin/git-shell
[08:37] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/resetwindowspassword/ <-- Try that.
[08:37] <tim_desta> hello!
[08:38] <gry> Hi tim_desta! What's that we can help you with?
[08:38] <sam1234> http://pastebin.com/vs0wCKLc what could be the wrong ?
[08:38] <eddiemonge> ikonia: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-03-11 02:15 /usr/bin/git-shell
[08:38] <ikonia> eddiemonge: where did you get git-shell from ?
[08:38] <tim_desta> i was trying to change my network cards MAC adress. but i can not change it. i try machanger also macchanger-gtk but they can not change it too :(
[08:39] <HAWK_> why when i put the 64 bit 11.04 ubuntu in at startup it boots back to the 32 bit version?
[08:39] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, thats not gonna work because.. i dont have a ubuntu live cd.. im using damn small linux. the internet wont work with dsl and i cant get linux to detect my partitons
[08:39] <eddiemonge> ikonia: it was just there. maybe from doing aptitude install git git-core
[08:39] <ikonia> HAWK_: you've either not installed 64bit, or you've pointed grub at an old 32bit
[08:39] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Boy, you's all sorts of screwed then ain't ya?  LOL.
[08:39] <odix> http://postimage.org/image/1hhfvqmro/
[08:39] <HAWK_> e
[08:39] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, lol pretty much...
[08:40] <ikonia> eddiemonge: can you run git-shell now ?
[08:40] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i suppose i could reinstall windows...
[08:40] <ikonia> odix: any reason you're posting that in here ?
[08:40] <crackerjackz> i'll lose some of my files though
[08:40] <odix> sorry
[08:40] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: I don't recall if you told me or not... did you say if it was SATA or PATA/IDE?
[08:40] <crackerjackz> but that would indeed fix the mbr right/
[08:40] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, SATA
[08:40] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Yes, it would.
[08:40] <tim_desta> gry: i can not change my mac adres on ubuntu. can you help me ?
[08:40] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: But, you'd also lose all your data.
[08:41] <Charybdis> Is this the only computer you have working?
[08:41] <dicksonxavier> hi
[08:41] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, nope im talking to you on a laptop right now
[08:41] <eddiemonge> ikonia: no, i get fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled. hint: ~/git-shell-commands should exist and have read and execute access.  that folder doesnt exist in the home directory and creating it doesnt change anything. i feel like im supposed to copy stuff into there but that doesnt seem right
[08:41] <HAWK_> can i go into "e" and edit the commands and boot from the usb?
[08:41] <Charybdis> How big is your thumbdrive?  Do you have a CD/DVD burner on the laptop?
[08:41] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, my thumbdrive is 512 mb
[08:41] <gry> tim_desta: I see your question, I'm not sure why it's happening. I think you should be able to try to find a relevant part of system log on your system.
[08:42] <ikonia> HAWK_: if you want
[08:42] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i have no blank cds/dvds
[08:42] <ikonia> eddiemonge: ok - so the good news is, you know it's a limitation of the shell in it's current state, not a problem with it not being a login shell
[08:42] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Either you need to find a blank, or you'll lose your data.  What's the deal with the internet?
[08:42] <eddiemonge> ikonia: thats good news?
[08:42] <HAWK_> does anyone know the correct command to access the usb from command line
[08:42] <ZiauddinMK> any alternative for adobe in design?
[08:43] <ZiauddinMK> free program?
[08:43] <wabznasm> ZiauddinMK: I spent some time looking a few months ago, and found absolutely nothing
[08:43] <Charybdis> HAWK_: Linux sees usb drives the same as installed disks.  If you have only one installed disk, it should be /dev/sda.  Then your USB drive should be /dev/sdb
[08:43] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i dont know, still trying to figure out whats wrong with the net
[08:43] <ikonia> eddiemonge: ok, google shows a few patch submits on git-help - the problem appears to be that the "COMMAND" directory needs to be present and have write permissions on it
[08:43] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Wired or wireless?
[08:43] <wabznasm> ZiauddinMK: totally proprietary Adobe standard. No open source at all
[08:44] <ikonia> eddiemonge: where the command directory is on your system I don't know, but the code suggests it's in your home dir
[08:44] <ikonia> eddiemonge: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/PATCH-shell-Rewrite-documentation-and-improve-error-message-td5445842.html
[08:44] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i have both an ethernet card and a wireless NIC
[08:44] <szal> ZiauddinMK: scribus?
[08:45] <fen_> I need some assistance diagnosing graphics stuttering occuring in video streams on ubuntu 11.04
[08:45] <HAWK_> i got  "unkown command" in grub
[08:45] <Charybdis> HAWK_: What did you type?
[08:45] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Have you tried this: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Network_configuration
[08:45] <fen_> scrap that occurring in everything.
[08:46] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, it has this GUI dsl netcard config... it should just work
[08:46] <sam1234> any advice for me ?
[08:46] <sam1234> :(
[08:47] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: This is the real world.  SHOULD and does are two different things.
[08:47] <crackerjackz> true that
[08:47] <Charybdis> sam1234: What is your problem?
[08:47] <HAWK_> "/dev/sda"
[08:47] <Charybdis> Hawk, it should be /dev/sdb if it's got a hard drive installed inside of it.
[08:47] <Charybdis> If it's got more than one, try /dev/sdc
[08:47] <sam1234> i installed nvidia driver on my laptop. after that x wont stop. it end up with this error
[08:47] <HAWK_> then "/dev/sdb"
[08:47] <eddiemonge> ikonia: hmm i guess the folder just needed to be created with the proper permissions. thanks for the help
[08:47] <sam1234> http://pastebin.com/vs0wCKLc
[08:47] <chris34g3> hey, is there a possibility to change the sound/wifi transparent frame that shows up when u change volume or connect to networks on 10.10
[08:48] <ikonia> eddiemonge: no problem
[08:48] <HAWK_> are these commands grub?
[08:48] <HAWK_> or do i need to go back to the command line?
[08:48] <Charybdis> HAWK_: These aren't commands, these are files.
[08:49] <Charybdis> Or rather, objects handled as files.
[08:49] <HAWK_> sorry , i did dos for too long
[08:49] <Charybdis> HAWK_: Time to RTFM.  :)
[08:49] <Charybdis> That's friendly, not the other version.
[08:49] <Charybdis> LOL.
[08:49] <HAWK_> rtfm?
[08:49] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, it already has some stuff in it.. should i comment it out. it says auto lo and iface lo inet loopback
[08:49] <Charybdis> Read The Friendly Manual
[08:49] <Charybdis> Or, STFW (Search the Friendly Web)
[08:50] <HAWK_> ive been doing that for 3 days,
[08:50] <fen_> why didn't i think of that.. disabling compiz & unity fixed the issue.
[08:50] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: lo and loopback are necessary.
[08:50] <HAWK_> no job and all that, ive been searching non stop
 log file is hear. http://pastebin.com/vs0wCKLc http://pastebin.com/vs0wCKLcX wont start after installing nvidia driver
[08:50] <chris34g3> hey, is there a possibility to change the sound/wifi transparent frame that shows up when u change volume or connect to networks on 10.10
[08:51] <fen_> quit
[08:51] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, how do you save / quit in vim again i forget?
[08:51] <HAWK_> could i try installing linux and putting ubuntu on top of that?
[08:51] <wabznasm> crackerjackz: :wq
[08:51] <xubuntu-noob> crackerjackz, :wq
[08:52] <crackerjackz> didnt work for some reason
[08:52] <crackerjackz> its still in insert mode
[08:52] <xubuntu-noob> yeah
[08:52] <xubuntu-noob> crackerjackz, that's the reason
[08:52] <xubuntu-noob> press ESC first
[08:52] <crackerjackz> ty
[08:52] <xubuntu-noob> np
[08:52] <kaellandesktop> what's the average time on resizing partition? feals like it got stuck :s
[08:53] <kaellandesktop> lol only cous i typed that it finished hahaha
[08:53] <Charybdis> xubuntu-noob is right, hit escape, then try :wq
[08:54] <kaellandesktop> isnt it posible to instal backtrack 5 on the same disk buth difrent partetition ?
[08:54] <Charybdis> kaellandesktop: Yes.
[08:55] <kaellandesktop> k
[08:55] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, so there isn't a way to fix the MBR from linux?
[08:56] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Yes, but I'm not familiar enough with grub to be able to point the way.  I have used lilo for so long, I got used to it.
[08:56] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, do i need internet on the desktop to do it
[08:56] <Charybdis> However, if DSL isn't seeing the drive at all, then it won't matter, because you can't write to a boot record you can't even see.
[08:57] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: The only thing you'd need internet for is to download a different distro.
[08:58] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, cat /proc/partitions list sda and sda1... sda1 is my flash drive
[08:58] <kubanc> is there any application for IP webcam, I already tried zoneminder and motion, but none of them works. My IP camera works in browser
[08:58] <crackerjackz> do you think sda is where the mbr is?
[08:58] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: NO!
[08:58] <kaellandesktop> what to type in terminal to get that disk untility thingy just to look up the partetitions on a disk?
[08:58] <crackerjackz> its 503808 blocks.. what is that partition i wonder
[08:58] <Charybdis> /dev/sda1 is the first logical drive on drive /dev/sda
[08:58] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: In otherwords, it's the first partition on drive sda
[08:59] <Charybdis> So if /dev/sda1 is your usb drive, then /dev/sda is the physical drive it's on.
[08:59] <crackerjackz> ahhh i see
[08:59] <crackerjackz> well i have an idea...
[08:59] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Or rather, /dev/sda is the thumbdrive... and /dev/sda1 is the first partition on it.
[09:01] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, when it i boot the computer up with out the flash drive it says grub rescue> and there are commands that i can type.. anything i could do from there maybe?
[09:02] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Possibly, but I don't know grub well enough to give you advice.
[09:02] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: What's happened, is that the drive is looking for the boot info from your thumb drive, instead of from the hard drive.
[09:02] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: That sometimes happens when you do a soft reboot instead of doing a hard shutdown then startup.
[09:03] <xubuntu-noob> Hey who can inform me well on Likewise ? I'm crawling forums, and it looks like I should just forget it since I have ubuntu>lucid_lynx. Can someone confirm ?
[09:03] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Especially if you are booting from cd
[09:08] <HAWK_> anyone know what cardamom is
[09:08] <romeus> hello :-)
[09:08] <HAWK_> hi
[09:08] <llutz> HAWK_: a nice spice, but related to ubuntu ...
[09:08] <romeus> after installing kubuntu, I decided to use gnome, but now I'm stuck with my browser and gnome-panel opening things in dolphin all the time, is there a way to fix this?
[09:09] <HAWK_> the login screen says "cardamom" under the ubuntu logo
[09:09] <HAWK_> then it has a "other " box
[09:10] <romeus> specifically, to fix it so that nautilus is used
[09:10] <actionParsnip> HAWK_: is it the hostname?
[09:11] <HAWK_> looks like it
[09:11] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i fixed it :D
[09:11] <HAWK_> i click other and a username block comes up
[09:11] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: What did you do?
[09:12] <crackerjackz> for some odd reason wubi created another partition... i deleted that partition with the windows cd.. and it just.. works
[09:12] <actionParsnip> romeus: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-back-nautilus-as-your-default-file-manager.html
[09:13] <HAWK_> i put my user name and password in and it said    authentication failure
[09:14] <romeus> actionParsnip: tried that, but it didn't work
[09:14] <crackerjackz> the ubuntu install is finishing now...
[09:16] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, thanks for helping me
[09:16] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: My pleasure.  Have a good one.  And enjoy!!! :)
[09:17] <crackerjackz> i still wonder how that 4th partition got there
[09:18] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: No telling, and without playing with the software to see if I could recreate the error, I won't even theorize.
[09:18] <Charybdis> :)
[09:18] <folivora> HAWK_: It seems that either your username / password is wrong. You can try accessing straight from tty1, ctrl+alt+F1 and then try to access with your username... or even straight with root account
[09:18] <actionParsnip> romeus: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-change-the-default-file-manager-from-nautilus-to-e-g-dolphin-688594/
[09:19] <ph8> Hi all, i have two near identical ubuntu systems, both have the same snmp config file - i can snmpwalk one and not the other. On both boxes iptables --list returns no rules, is there some other thing i might check for firewall rules or network restrictions? Similarly both boxes have identical /etc/network/interfaces (apart from the ip address of course)
[09:19] <HAWK_> it has "cardamom login: " there also
[09:19] <crackerjackz> wubi only allows you a max of 30 gb for the ubuntu partition... i wonder what it did with the other 46 gb...
[09:19] <romeus> actionParsnip: I got part of it fixed with exo-preferred-applications
[09:19] <HackNewton> hi
[09:19] <crackerjackz> i wanted to use the whole 76gb for the ubuntu partition
[09:20] <gry> Hi.
[09:20] <crackerjackz> but it wouldnt let me
[09:21] <gry> crackerjackz, why?
[09:21] <crackerjackz> gry, why what/
[09:21] <gry> crackerjackz: Wouldn't it let you.
[09:21] <sam1234> any one can help me regarding device not found error
[09:22] <actionParsnip> !details  | sam1234
[09:22] <romankrv> Hi. I try use command POST in terminal. I type in terminal: POST URL="http://example.com/o1", PAYLOAD="p1=1&p2=2&p3=3" but I get responce in terminal:  """  Please enter content (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) to be POSTed  """ my question is what need to type for it   that POST cimmand is running?
[09:22] <crackerjackz> gry, because wubi only lets you go up to 30 gb for some reason.. its a gui and has a drop down menu.. it doesn't let you custom define it for some reason
[09:23] <crackerjackz> and the only reason i used wubi was because i dont have a blank cd or a thumb drive with enough space
[09:23] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Understood.
[09:24] <sam1234> ok <ubottu >  im running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
[09:24] <sam1234> Release: 10.04
[09:24] <sam1234> my VGA card is GT 540M
[09:24] <sam1234> hear is my error log http://pastebin.com/vs0wCKLc
[09:24] <gry> crackerjackz: then dualboot.
[09:26] <crackerjackz> gry, i was before... but i decided to reinstall linux because it was so messed up i couldnt get it working..  i figured it would be less time consuming to just reinstall it rather than trying to figure out how to fix it
[09:26] <sam1234> im running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. Release: 10.04  my VGA card is GT 540M. after i install nvidia official driver x server wont start. It give me device not found error. this is the error log for ur reference. http://pastebin.com/vs0wCKLc
[09:27] <gry> crackerjackz: that doesn't mean you can't dualboot by now
[09:27] <crackerjackz> gry, i am... but i'm getting rid of windows i think
[09:27] <gry> crackerjackz: make sure you have backups. just in case you have inportand documents in there.
[09:27] <crackerjackz> i might try reactos
[09:27] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Why?
[09:27] <actionParsnip> sam1234: you may need natty, or a PPA. The driver in the Lucid repos is a bit old for your newer hardware
[09:28] <gry> crackerjackz: it's alpha; not for everyday use.
[09:28] <actionParsnip> !info nvidia-current lucid
[09:28] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: I keep Windows 7 installed along side Linux, I just never use it.  When I need Windows, I run Windows XP via VMWare, and viola, the ease of windows with the stability of Linux.  :)
[09:28] <actionParsnip> sam1234: lucid only has the 195 driver, you will need the 270 driver in Natty. Both Natty and Lucid desktop support ends at the same time
 thanks for ur comment. Could u please guide me how to find the latest one ?
[09:30] <actionParsnip> sam1234: why use Lucid?
[09:30] <aaronds> Hi, using chmod, how can I restore a file or folder to its default settings?
 i have no idea. i just installed the latest driver from the nvidia side.
[09:30] <gry> aaronds: you need to know the default settings yourself for that.
[09:30] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, can you make any sense of this? http://pastebin.com/SzvYp7Xu
[09:30] <gry> !permissions
[09:30] <actionParsnip> sam1234: go to www.ubuntu.com and download Natty and install it
[09:31] <gry> aaronds: see what ubottu said, please.
[09:31] <actionParsnip> aaronds: restore from backup
[09:31] <th^^> 'umask' tells you the "default" =)
[09:31] <tux_> kaellan
[09:31] <sam1234> actionParsni: if u dont mind what is stand for natty ?
[09:31] <actionParsnip> aaronds: or if you wrote down the permissions, just re-apply the old attributes
[09:31] <gry> ty th^^
[09:31] <actionParsnip> !11.04 | sam1234
[09:32] <aaronds> actionParsnip, all I'm looking for is the number used when a new file is created.
[09:32] <actionParsnip> aaronds: which file is it/
[09:33] <aaronds> actionParsnip, say I right click -> create new folder, what chmod rules are applied to that file by default?
[09:33] <naxa> hi! i have 10.04 and having problems with my nvidia geforce 6200: cpu usage is very high by xorg, compiz enabled. previously i had geforce2 so and i also tried the binary drivers from nvidia site, could anyone help me sort this out so i could properly reinstall my drivers, not ubuntu? (i have already purged nvidia* and installed nvidia-current what first caused conflict with the kernel modules somehow and also some warning about vdpau)
[09:33] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, i think since i had 3 partitions all together... the partition i wanted to install ubuntu on was 76 GB  but wubi would only let me use 30 for the ubuntu install.. so i'm guessing it took the other half and made it an extended partition..
[09:33] <crackerjackz> so it created 2 extra partitions
 and <ubott> thx lot for the advices.
[09:33] <actionParsnip> aaronds: drwxrwxr-x $USER $USER
[09:33] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Possible.
[09:34] <Charybdis> crackerjackz: Or it may have been creating the 4th partition for swap.
[09:34] <aaronds> actionParsnip, how can I apply those permissions with chmod?
[09:34] <szal> naxa: first properly uninstall the binary nVidia driver -> 'sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall'
[09:34] <Charybdis> aarcane: That's chmod 775
 is it possible to upgrade lucid to natty ? im uding BT5
[09:35] <actionParsnip> aaronds: chmod 775
[09:35] <szal> !tab | sam1234
[09:35] <crackerjackz> Charybdis, maybe but i wonder why it tried to boot from that one partition that was like 2gb i deleted it.. then it booted
[09:35] <aaronds> thank you actionParsnip
[09:35] <naxa> szal, okay let me see
[09:35] <actionParsnip> sam1234: bactrack isnt supported here in any way
[09:35] <sam1234> oh thx for that hint szal
[09:35] <actionParsnip> !backtrack | sam1234
[09:36] <sam1234> yes actionParsnip
[09:36] <aaronds> actionParsnip, one last question, is it the same rule for newly created files? (i.e a text file or html file)
[09:36] <actionParsnip> sam1234: i suggest you join the channel for your distro.Backtrack is offtopic here
[09:37] <sam1234> ok thank you all of u guys for the help
[09:37] <sam1234> :)
[09:37] <sam1234> really appericiate it
[09:37] <keene> hihi
[09:39] <folivora> HAWK_: cardamom <- is your hostname. So use your own account or root account to login. In any case you will need to enter username and password :)
[09:39] <actionParsnip> folivora: root login won't work ;)
[09:41] <folivora> actionParsnip: How come ?
[09:41] <actionParsnip> folivora: the account is disabled
[09:41] <HackNewton> Can anybody tell me how can i access yahoo messenger through Ubuntu ? (i did not mean multiple messenger )
[09:41] <crackerjackz> HackNewton, pidgin
[09:41] <crackerjackz> HackNewton, sudo apt-get install pidgin
[09:42] <HackNewton> crackerjackz, i told before not multi messenger
[09:42] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: gyache
[09:42] <HackNewton> crackerjackz, I need to access yahoo messenger itself
[09:42] <crackerjackz> HackNewton, oh i dunno.. maybe you can run yahoo through wine or something
[09:42] <folivora> actionParsnip: so root account is disable, then I would try to use single-user mode ...
[09:42] <crackerjackz> HackNewton, you can cam with yahoo users via meebo.com
[09:42] <HackNewton> crackerjackz, wine dont work smooth
[09:42] <actionParsnip> folivora: if you hold shift at boot and select root recovery mode, yes
[09:43] <folivora> Yeå
[09:43] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: works sweet here with postal 2 :)
[09:43] <crackerjackz> HackNewton, not sure how well itll work though since it uses flash
[09:43] <HackNewton> crackerjackz, i want to access yahoo chat rooms
[09:43] <folivora> Just thought that he had foregotten pw or the useracc was corrupted.
[09:44] <HackNewton> SO anyone have any solution over it ?
[09:45] <crackerjackz> HackNewton, i think you can get on yahoo chats with gaim but im not sure if it supports video
[09:45] <HackNewton> I tried wine and meebo didnt solve my problem
[09:45] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: gyache
[09:45] <HackNewton> crackerjackz, well thats only thing i didnt tried yet so better use it
[09:45] <HackNewton> actionParsnip, but can i access yahoo chat room
[09:46] <crackerjackz> HackNewton, looks like something here called gyach allows you to use your cam with yahoo but not sure if it supports yahoo chat
[09:46] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: yes, it also does voice and cam. Check it out
[09:46] <sam1234> for ur reference i found answer for my issue. hence i have optimus they said im loose, nvidia not support optimus with ubuntu
[09:46] <crackerjackz> gyache
[09:46] <actionParsnip> sam1234: you aren't using ubuntu
[09:46] <actionParsnip> sam1234: you are using backtrack
[09:47] <sam1234> actionParsnip, isnt it based on ubuntu ?
[09:47] <actionParsnip> sam1234: ubuntu is based on debian, but I wouldn't say I was using debian.  I'm using ubuntu
[09:47] <Charybdis> sam1234: Just because something is based on something else, does not make it backwards compatible.
[09:48] <HackNewton> actionParsnip, nice point :D
[09:48] <sam1234> actionParsnip, ok i got it
[09:48] <actionParsnip> sam1234: backtrack is another spin on Ubuntu, ONLY canonical releases are supported here. This includes but isn't restricted to backtrack
[09:49] <newgen> hi there again. i have a problem with grub ans my luks encrypted / . grub install says: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/sda4_crypt. Check your device.map . any ideas?
[09:49] <actionParsnip> sam1234: you will find the backtrack community is drastically smaller than the ubuntu community, you are also running all your apps as root which is grossly unsecure
[09:49] <buz_> hi, i had to remove one harddisk from a software raid1, an now the raid is inactive, and i can't get it active. /proc/mdstat says "md_d0 : inactive sdb1[0](S)"
[09:49] <HackNewton> actionParsnip, hay can you tell me command for getting gyache
[09:50] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: there is a ppa you can find easily
[09:52] <crackerjackz> !gyache
[09:52] <newgen> buz_, i think there was a command like mdadm to set it active...
[09:52] <crackerjackz> !ubotu gyachi
[09:52] <szal> !info gyache
[09:52] <actionParsnip> crackerjackz: its not in the repos
[09:53] <HackNewton> crackerjackz, seems like there is no record on gyachi
[09:53] <crackerjackz> HackNewton, http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/download.shtml
[09:53] <HackNewton> actionParsnip, ppa is faling
[09:53] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gyachi-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty-using-ppa.html
[09:53] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: couldn't find that link?
[09:53] <buz_> newgen: the command is mdadm -A /dev/md_d0, but all i get ist a "mdadm: /dev/md_d0 not identified in config file."
[09:53] <HackNewton> i found but it is failing with 404 error
[09:54] <CMoH-office> hey. how can i install qt4.7 for development on lucid (i.e. i don't want to upgrade off lts version)
[09:54] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: did you run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adilson/experimental; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install gyachi
[09:54] <newgen> buz_, how about "mdadm -A -s --no-degraded"
[09:54] <HackNewton> actionParsnip, yes
[09:55] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: then I'd contact the ppa maintae ppa maintainer, you can always compile it yourself
[09:55] <HackNewton> actionParsnip, four not found errors
[09:55] <RobinShen> join #ubuntu-cn
[09:55] <bora> hello all
[09:56] <HackNewton> actionParsnip, seems like it will take time for :D
[09:56] <buz_> newgen: mdadm -A -s --no-degraded -> mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automaticall - mdadm -A -s --no-degraded /dev/md_d0 -> mdadm: /dev/md_d0 not identified in config file.
[09:56] <actionParsnip> HackNewton: could find a different ppa
[09:56] <actionParsnip> !ppa | HackNewton
[09:57] <servet_akbell> i use the latest version of pidgin. can i change my pidgin's user agent on windows and ubuntu ?

[09:58] <Pin> I HATE UNITY! UBUNTU CLASSIC IS BETTER!!!, THANK YOU , THATS ALL I WANTED TO SAY!
[09:58] <actionParsnip> Pin: nobody cares
[09:58] <bora> sorry for my bad english
[09:58] <newgen> buz_, my configuration http://pastebin.com/nhMkGGJj
[09:58] <Pin> developers do care
[09:59] <Pin> You mean you dont care.
[09:59] <actionParsnip> Pin: Its offtopic here
[09:59] <Pin> make unity better. Theres a problem to solve
[09:59] <actionParsnip> Pin: in Oneiric, Classic is replaced by Unity 2D
[10:00] <Pin> oneiric?
[10:00] <Charybdis> 11.10
[10:00] <bora> oneirick ocelot is ubuntu 11.10
[10:00] <newgen> buz_, furthermore check in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf  the "ARRAY" line
[10:00] <Pin> So whats Unity 2D like?
[10:00] <Charybdis> Pin: Install 10.04LTS and don't upgrade Gnome to Unity.
[10:00] <Pin> im interested
[10:00] <Charybdis> End of story for now.
[10:01] <Pin> im using 11.04 in ubuntu classic mode. Works great for me. Is Unity 2D better?
[10:01] <newgen> hi there again. i have a problem with grub ans my luks encrypted / . grub install says: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/sda4_crypt. Check your device.map . any ideas?
[10:01] <actionParsnip> Pin: same as Unity, just doesn't need 3D accelleration
[10:01] <firehaz> Hi, I'm using Xmonad and I have had this same problem on openbox, how do you run programs without creating a ton of terminals?
[10:01] <actionParsnip> pin: better is an opinion, so is never concrete
[10:02] <Pin> Thank you.  So I think i wont upgrade to 11.10
[10:02] <Pin> i'll stay with 11.04
[10:02] <bora> i preffer xfce. It's beautifull to me
[10:02] <ph8> Hi all, i have two near identical ubuntu systems, both have the same snmp config file - i can snmpwalk one and not the other. On both boxes iptables --list returns no rules, is there some other thing i might check for firewall rules or network restrictions? Similarly both boxes have identical /etc/network/interfaces (apart from the ip address of course)
[10:02] <HAWK_> i am about to give up on computers forever, 4 days and im only making things worse, i cant load any operating system any more,
[10:02] <bora> KDE poor, Gnome not bad, Unity? I hate this
[10:02] <actionParsnip> Pin: Natty will eventually reach EOL. You can always switch DE
[10:02] <Pin> DE?
[10:02] <spass> desktop env
[10:03] <actionParsnip> pin: desktop environment
[10:03] <Pin> EOL?
[10:03] <actionParsnip> !eol
[10:03] <actionParsnip> pin: instead of asking really simple wuestions, try using the internet to research
[10:04] <Pin> Ok. So how do i keep the ubuntu classic interface while keeping updates
[10:04] <bora> !eol
[10:04] <bora> ?
[10:04] <bora> ahh.. sory
[10:04] <Pin> while still being able to recieve updates, Downgrade to ubuntu 10. LTS?
[10:05] <actionParsnip> Pin: you can keep classic as long as Natty is alive
[10:05] <iceroot> Pin: there is also lxde and xfce
[10:05] <firehaz> Pin: I'm not sure but there may be a package when Oneiric comes out.
[10:05] <Pin> Will it be alive for more than 2 years?
[10:05] <actionParsnip> Pin: lucid desktop support dies when natty desktop support dies
[10:05] <Pin> ohhhhhh
[10:05] <Pin> i understand now
[10:05] <Baribal> Hi. I tried adding an existing user to an existing group, following the example at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ which says I should "useradd -a -G sudo sh", which results in "useradd: invalid option -- 'a'". So, what should I *actually* do?
[10:06] <crackerjackz> is screenie the same thing as gnu screen... one person runs screen from a terminal.. then the other person can attach to the session and the person can watch what they are doing in your shell...
[10:07] <actionParsnip> Baribal: are you trying to give a user admin access (sudo usage etc)
[10:07] <servet_akbell> i use the latest version of pidgin. can i change my pidgin's user agent on windows and ubuntu ? or someone knows a crossplatrofm program which can change user agent ?
[10:07] <Baribal> actionParsnip, yes.
[10:07] <actionParsnip> Baribal: add them to the admin group, not sudo
[10:07] <iosolidar> is there a way to view microsoft producer website presentations in ubuntu?
[10:08] <iosolidar> http://video.tau.ac.il/General/AstroClub/YoelRephaeli/20050525Rephaeli_files/Default.htm#autostart=1&nopreload=1
[10:08] <iosolidar> like here
[10:08] <buz_> newgen: here you go -> http://pastebin.com/D4VaCHSD
[10:09] <Baribal> actionParsnip, actually, I'm not to sure about the "etc" part, and I have to admit, it's a Debian system, not an Ubuntu (I came here 'cause I *usually* use Ubuntu...), so, usually, you'd be right with that hint, but the point here isn't best practices of administration, it really is the actual unix command.
[10:09] <ikonia> Baribal: take it to #debian please.
[10:09] <ChristianAdamski> Hi, 11.04: using a cpu-intensive command like "convert" to resize pictures renders my whole system basically unusable. How can I make "convert" a low priority task?
[10:09] <iosolidar> nice
[10:09] <iosolidar> man nice
[10:09] <actionParsnip> barbichu: debian isn't supported here
[10:10] <ikonia> actionParsnip: sure you don't mean Baribal ?

[10:10] <ramsess>  comment configurer une plateforme de messagerie instantanée en local svp?
[10:11] <actionParsnip> ikonia: tabspazz :(
[10:11] <Baribal> Okay okay, I took it over there... But, srsly, both use the same useradd and bash!
[10:11] <actionParsnip> Baribal: debian has it's own support channel, it's not here
[10:11] <ikonia> Baribal: I know this
[10:12] <ChristianAdamski> Thanks alot "nice" seems to work
[10:14] <ChristianAdamski> Err, no it does not
[10:15] <ChristianAdamski> seems still almost freezes with a nice-lvl of 15.
[10:15] <monk> why isnt world of padman in the ubuntu repo?
[10:15] <nightrid3r> ramsess http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/

[10:26] <Peddy> When I try to run any program as root with sudo, I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ST1frMtm   could someone have a look please?
[10:28] <mgolisch> Peddy: tried gksu?
[10:29] <Peddy> mgolisch, it says "incorrect password" even when I enter the correct password.
[10:30] <Peddy> is there supposed to be a .Xauthority file in my home directory?
[10:30] <acklee>     /set irc_conf_mode 1
[10:31] <brainwave92> oops
[10:31] <acklee> :)
[10:31] <ozstriker> salve
[10:31] <w4h256> hi all....
[10:32] <brainwave92> Peddy, there isnt any on mine
[10:33] <Peddy> thanks for checking, brainwave92. it must be something else then.
[10:33] <Peddy> I  can't run any GUI applications using sudo, command line works fine
[10:33] <ozstriker> nessuno che parla italiano?
[10:33] <newgen> acklee, wonderfull command :)
[10:33] <szal> !it | ozstriker
[10:34] <brainwave92> what is that acklee? that command
[10:34] <brainwave92> Peddy, u tried gksudo?
[10:34] <ozstriker> era per dire
[10:35] <nerd_bloke> which project should a launchpad bug be assigned against if a user should be created as a member of a certain usergroup?
[10:35] <newgen> brainwave92, it's not a command, but acklee's comment :)
[10:35] <newgen> brainwave92, it removes joins/leave messages in irc
[10:35] <acklee> newgen: yes, easily distracted without that command
[10:36] <acklee> brainwave92: hide joins & parts (conference mode) in xchat
[10:36] <szal> nerd_bloke: what are you trying to do?
[10:37] <nerd_bloke> there is a bug against dial up modems, user privialges are assigned to a certain usergroup only
[10:37] <nerd_bloke> ppp say it isn't their responibility
[10:38] <nerd_bloke> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292203
[10:38] <consolers> hmm what sort of terminal shows up as :nnnn in wtmp ? (when the user logs in from a different ip)
[10:43] <AFD> I did a server reboot after installing ubuntu-desktop for NXserver sessions and the encrypted disk won't come back up... error I get at boot is "unknown error setting up device mapping"
[10:44] <newgen> AFD, welcome in my personal hell
[10:44] <AFD> newgen hi
[10:44] <AFD> newgen you know your way around?
[10:45] <newgen> AFD, i updated from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and it killed my grub including the device.map in /boot/grub/
[10:45] <newgen> AFD, but i spent currently 8 hours and have still no solution
[10:45] <AFD> I don't think I'm on 11.04 as the server was 10.04 and I think I kept it that way
[10:46] <newgen> AFD, better do not try to update. it will make things worse
[10:47] <newgen> AFD, does your /boot/grub/device.map look ok?
[10:48] <blunderblast> morning anyone around this early?
[10:48] <newgen> if you are lucky, you can use a live cd, open the crypto filesystem with "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdX devicehandle" and run fsck on /dev/mapper/devicehandle
[10:48] <AFD> I'm looking for that not
[10:49] <FstabUsers> what should i typein /etc/fstab so just users from group sambausers can mount a shared folder?
[10:49] <blunderblast> early for me I think
[10:50] <FstabUsers> any help plz?
[10:50] <ikonia> FstabUsers: the option in the file is "users"
[10:51] <blunderblast> I'm brand new to Ubuntu and having the toughest time getting it up and running, with the livecd version everything goes great, but when I install and run from the drive, nothing happens at all
[10:51] <ikonia> blunderblast: what do you mean "nothing happens"
[10:52] <Squall5668> well, blunderblast, something must happen. Anything at all
[10:52] <ikonia> blunderblast: you need to explain the problem, or thats like me saying "do something to fix it"
[10:52] <blunderblast> guess I should be a bit more specific..sorry..I'm still half asleep
[10:53] <FstabUsers> ikonia: gid=users ?
[10:53] <ikonia> FstabUsers: no, the option is juse "users"
[10:53] <especially-corn> can anyone tell me what package do i need to install so CTRL+left or right will jump a word?
[10:53] <ikonia> just
[10:53] <especially-corn> inside a terminal
[10:53] <FstabUsers> and where should i specigy the group?
[10:54] <ikonia> FstabUsers: it's not a group
[10:54] <AFD> newgen I have an Ubuntu server CD and am trying the "rescue" option... fingers crossed
[10:54] <ikonia> FstabUsers: listen, if you want non-root users to be able to mount a disk, the option is "users" in fstab
[10:55] <newgen> AFD, i really hope you can fix it with the fsck. because my problem is very persistent and noone seems to know the solution....
[10:55] <AFD> newgen do you know if the server CD will boot to a live session?
[10:55] <blunderblast> I boot from the HD, get the login/pwd screen, I login then...the wallpaper appears and then that's it..no keyboard input allowed or mouse input
[10:56] <newgen> AFD, not sure...
[10:56] <tyler-allen> I dont belive the server vesion boots ot a live session, sorry.
[10:56] <FstabUsers> look what i got....i have share1 share2 and user1 user2 and user3 // share1 should be mounted, unmounted and written by all users. share2 should only be used by user1 and user2.
[10:56] <blunderblast> and nothing else on the screen but the wallpaper, no submens, etc
[10:56] <obert> but really..are you really get Quassel gui intuitive at its usage? hmm
[10:56] <newgen> AFD, all you need is a console where you can enter the commands
[10:57] <Squall5668> blunderblast: are you running 11.04? try the classic option, see if that works for a start
[10:57] <AFD> yeah - I've got a borne shell atm
[10:57] <ikonia> I doubt you've got a bourne shell
[10:57] <AFD> busybox 1.13
[10:57] <ikonia> you've most likley got bash or dash
[10:57] <AFD> that's what it told me
[10:57] <FstabUsers> ikonia: look what i got....i have share1 share2 and user1 user2 and user3 // share1 should be mounted, unmounted and written by all users. share2 should only be used by user1 and user2.
[10:57] <AFD> it doesn't know what fsck or sudo is tho :(
[10:57] <ikonia> busy box isn't your system
[10:57] <ikonia> FstabUsers: ok - so that's file system permissions, thats nothing to do with fstav
[10:58] <lalejand_> Hi, I'm trying to configure a cisco vpn connexion with network-manager but I cant' make it work. Someone can help me ?
[10:58] <ikonia> AFD: no, it won't it's a busy box environment, you need to be in your system or a live environment
[10:58] <AFD> I can ls -a and see the RAMdisk
[10:58] <AFD> bin dev init etc there
[10:59] <ikonia> that is useles
[10:59] <FstabUsers> ikonia: what do you suggest then?
[10:59] <ikonia> FstabUsers: you set the permissions on the target file system and on the local users/groups
[10:59] <newgen> AFD, the busy box is quite useless to repair the system
[10:59] <AFD> can't find anything in media or mnt though...
[11:00] <AFD> newgen ok thanks... I'll try another approach
[11:00] <newgen> AFD, wait
[11:00] <ikonia> AFD: why are you not listening, busybox is useless to you
[11:00] <lalejand_> the information I have is http://www.utc.fr/~5000/vpn/
[11:00] <newgen> AFD, does is know cryptsetup ?
[11:00] <artvir> hello
[11:00] <artvir> is it possible to burn a cd iso image on a dvd
[11:00] <artvir> in ubuntu?
[11:00] <AFD> newgen I'm not sure what you're asking
[11:00] <siddharthasahu> is there a way to download ubuntu binaries for a particular package on a different computer and install it on my computer?? it is very inconvenient  directly installing using apt-get because i've a slow net connection...
[11:00] <newgen> artvir, try k3b
[11:01] <AFD> but I know the disk is enrypted.... not just the home folder/s
[11:01] <mman> artvir, use brasero!!!
[11:01] <newgen> AFD, enter "cryptsetup" and check if the command exists
[11:01] <AFD> yep :D
[11:02] <AFD> newgen what should I do with it?
[11:02] <newgen> AFD, ok. cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/yourcrypt somename
[11:02] <nightrid3r> siddharthasahu apt on cd does this
[11:02] <MrEgg964> Hey guys - I'm looking to build a Ubuntu samba server that would serve up to 100 users. What kind of cpu/ram should I go for? Do I need a rig that could melt down Greenland, or can I go for something more reasonable?
[11:03] <ikonia> MrEgg964: depends on a lot of things, do a sizing exercise
[11:04] <AFD> newgen can you repeat that for me please
[11:04] <newgen> AFD, ok. cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/yourcrypt somename
[11:04] <newgen> AFD, then "mount /dev/mapper/somename /mnt"
[11:05] <AFD> and what would the 'yourcrypt' be? the sda1?
[11:05] <SwedeMike> MrEgg964: if they're just going to do light fileserver interaction basically any box will do, but if you want it to serve multiple gigabits/s of data continously, then it's another deal
[11:05] <siddharthasahu> @nightrid3r: could you please tell the exact command??
[11:05] <Baribal> MrEgg964, sounds to me like the number of users would be less relevant than the traffic they're causing. A company SVN server could be a rather modest box, but a HDTV streamer... Well, not.
[11:05] <newgen> AFD, try sda1
[11:06] <newgen> AFD, if it does not work, increment... one will work and ask for the password... i hope you used a password and not a key
[11:06] <AFD> sda3 access denied
[11:06] <Joupi> lalejand, are you there ?
[11:06] <AFD> and I can't sudo it
[11:07] <ikonia> AFD: you're in busy box - there is no sudo
[11:07] <AFD> we have a passphrase and a password I think
[11:07] <mman> any CAD program similar to Pro Engineer?
[11:07] <pratz> hey guys just a suggestion, which is the best project management and bug tracking system ?? I am going with trac, if you know any other than trac please do comment
[11:08] <newgen> AFD, "fdisk -l /dev/sda" will tell you which partitions you have
[11:08] <AFD> fdisk not found
[11:08] <ikonia> it's busy box
[11:08] <Squall5668> preatz: you can try bugzilla for tickets only, but it won't connect to SVN, i actually prefer trac myself
[11:08] <Anakin_n> apt get install fdisk :P
[11:09] <ikonia> no
[11:09] <ikonia> Anakin_n: please don't give out comments you don't understand
[11:09] <Anakin_n> ikonia, yes sir/madam
[11:09] <Squall5668> pratz: sorry misspelled your name, check my previous message
[11:09] <newgen> ikonia, it seems, busybox is not even worth trying, eh?
[11:09] <ikonia> newgen: no
[11:09] <AFD> ikonia can I do a checkdisk from busybox?
[11:09] <ikonia> AFD: check disk is a windows program
[11:10] <newgen> AFD, the command would be called "fsck"
[11:10] <pratz> Squall5668: thanks dude, even i think trac is more that sufficient
[11:10] <newgen> AFD, but it can only be used if you open the crypto partition with cryptsetup
[11:11] <Squall5668> pratz: yes its a great tool, now, if it didn't also break down so easily if you customise it... but that's another story :)
[11:11] <bk> Will moving the launcher be supported later on? Or at all?
[11:11] <sproaty> Hi. Ubuntu 11.04; I just noticed that when connecting to a server over SSH and browsing in nautilus, I no longer get path auto-complete when typing in the "location" bar
[11:12] <sproaty> I get the autcomplete locally, just not on servers
[11:12] <mman> anyone knows a CAD program for ubuntu?
[11:12] <AFD> newgen
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> bk: from what ive heard. no. but they can always change their minds
[11:13] <bk> Dr_Willis: I hope they do :P, I would love to put it at the bottom.
[11:13] <AFD> I just tried rebooting and entering cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 - it asked for the passphrase and seems to have accepted it
[11:13] <AFD> "Keyslot 0 unlocked"
[11:13] <newgen> AFD, congrats
[11:13] <AFD> trying another reboot now
[11:13] <newgen> AFD, no
[11:13] <ikonia> what's that going to do ?
[11:13] <AFD> fingers crosssed (thansk for your help so far)
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> mman:  i recall at least 2. qcad. and one or two that are commeecial
[11:13] <ikonia> I've unlocked the key - I'll reboot
[11:13] <ikonia> what ?
[11:13] <newgen> AFD, you have not checked the filesystem yet...
[11:14] <newgen> rofl
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> bk: i doubt if they want it there
[11:14] <Squall5668> too late i guess, guys :)
[11:14] <bk> Dr_Willis: I say that because I am use to OS X, I could just install another doc app but then there is still the problem where I go to hit the back button and the menu pops out.

[11:15] <Anakin_n> What is best supported well-known video for Ubuntu from these: GF 8900 GT, GF 240 GT, GF 450 GTS, GF GTX460SE ?
[11:15] <ikonia> Anakin_n: look up the hardware compatability list
[11:16] <Anakin_n> ikonia, and it can be found ...
[11:16] <ikonia> Anakin_n: on nvidia.com's website
[11:16] <mman> tuxx-, im looking something similar to pro engineer
[11:16] <Anakin_n> ikonia, big thanks
[11:16] <SDr> hi guys,
[11:17]  * newgen is now confinced that using uuid's for local harddiscs was the worst invention ever....

[11:18] <Dr_Willis> rarely had issues with uuids.
[11:18] <marchdown> Has anyone succesfully created bootable usb flash while on mac? dd doesn't work for me and unetboting is unavailable.
[11:18] <SDr> our webserver (ubuntu) went down earlier this morning; powercycle brought it back. no trace of the problem in /var/log/syslog . where should I look next?
[11:19] <Anakin_n> anyone tested high-performance geforce cards ... to share practicality results ? :)
[11:19] <Squall5668> eh, this isn't mac support marchdown, i have succesfully created a bootable usb flash on ubuntu those
[11:19] <SDr> I'd like to be able to fix this proactively so things like this don't happen, ever again.
[11:19] <bk> well kernel panic, this pos laptop hates linux
[11:19] <SDr> so, where should I look next?
[11:19] <Myth> nh
[11:19] <iceroot> marchdown: dd is not working because the usb-drive is "optimizing" the write-actions. so its not writing always on the same place. the same for the mbr...
[11:20] <Myth> age of empires
[11:20] <iceroot> marchdown: so your mbr is randomly written and not always on the first 512byte
[11:20] <markskilbeck> Yo! How can I get the titles of windows to show when using alt+tab?
[11:20] <markskilbeck> It's becoming a huge annoyance.
[11:22] <marchdown> iceroot, are you just speculating or do you have a source/experience to that effect
[11:22] <marchdown> ?
[11:22] <iceroot> marchdown: experience with some usb-sticks
[11:24] <xindz> Im getting "kernel: Not cloning cgroup for unused subsystem ns" all over my /var/log/messages file. Something to worry about?
[11:25] <Anakin_n> who have free time and can talk about high-performance graphics with ubuntu ? pm - please
[11:27] <AFD> I've booted in to a LiveCD on this server I can't access the encrypted HDD on
[11:27] <pratz> hey guys anyone using tilda on ubuntu, i just installed it , but it is not occupying complete screen, i.e top panel and bottom panel can be viewed, tilda fits btween both the panels , i want tilda to occupy competel screen
[11:27] <AFD> cant' fschk it
[11:28] <thesheff17> Anakin_n: I don't know a ton but what are you looking for?
[11:28] <pratz> if any one is using tilda kindly help me
[11:29] <AFD> what could I try next? (ideally to fix grub)
[11:29] <CruX|> hello, can any1 here download & send this for me  http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=176902&d=1291027678 ?
[11:29] <AFD> here's our error at boot btw:

[11:31] <Anakin_n> thesheff17, want to buy high-perf geforce for ubuntu and not sure what will be best supported :/
[11:31] <thesheff17> Anakin_n: all nvidia cards are supported with native drivers
[11:31] <balaji_> how to protect a file with password
[11:31] <AFD> Anakin_n I'm not sure about Optimus / Ion stuff though
[11:32] <FstabUsers> how can I allow users to mount and umount anything without having to type any password?
[11:33] <Anakin_n> as i see old models like GT 8800 GTX 9800 "works" better than new 4xx 5xx ...but it's only my look
[11:34] <Squall5668> i confirm 8800 works perfectly but, anakin_n exactly what do you want a high performance card for if i may?
[11:34] <Anakin_n> in principles can ubuntu use DirectX 10 and 11 technologies on hardware, or it's depends of manufacturers driver ?
[11:35] <Squall5668> it can't
[11:35] <thesheff17> direct x is for windows
[11:36] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, you can use simple file permissions, e.g. sd devices are in group "disk", so just add your users to that
[11:36] <FstabUsers>  i was talking about smbfs shares
[11:36] <Anakin_n> Squall5668, i need fps, graphic rendering and test games on high-rez/details
[11:36] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, add 'user' option to fstab entry
[11:37] <FstabUsers> but if a share is not automounted....will a user be able to remount it without rebooting?
[11:37] <Anakin_n> then i not need to look technologies DX10 and DX11 , when choice a new card for ubuntu ?
[11:38] <Squall5668> Anakin_n you can never, ever run directX in ubuntu, or any linux distro for that matter. Even directx9 barely works in Wine. I so wish someone can slap and correct me right now though
[11:38] <thesheff17> Anakin_n: allot of games don't work on linux.  I would search google for just for linux gaming and you will see the small subset that work.  Many times they are running through wine which is like a windows emulation program.  Of course you can display FSP with linux.
[11:38] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, that fstab perm should make it irrelevant whether it's automounted or not.
[11:38] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, test it
[11:39] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, if you're trying to automount a specific share, relative to the logged in user, that's a different exercise
[11:40] <FstabUsers> i got share1 share2 and user1 user2 user3. share1 should be automounted and remounted anytime by all users. share2 should be only automounted and remounted anytime by user1 and user2. that's what i'm trying to achieve.
[11:41] <billy2007> can anyone help me ive been trying all night all i want to do is share my laptops inet connection with my iphone wirelessly the only problem is my internet connection is wireless aswell can someone tell me how to connect to both networks at once
[11:44] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, yeah, that's possible, by just exploiting the existing features of fstab
[11:44] <wh1zz0> Hello guys
[11:44] <iceroot> billy2007: if i am correct a wifi-card can only connect to one network
[11:44] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, see "group" in mount man page, and "user" in fstab manpage
[11:44] <pratz_> hey guys anyone using tilda ??
[11:45] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/
[11:45] <iceroot> billy2007: why not connecting your iphone to the same wifi your pc is connected to
[11:45] <billy2007> iceroot is the anyway to send a signal from a wireless usb stick
[11:45] <iceroot> billy2007: ?
[11:46] <iceroot> billy2007: you mean to buy aother card, in this case a wifi-usb-card?
[11:46] <billy2007> iceroot it wont find it and it wont connect but if i make a networkk on my laptop it will connect to it
[11:46] <Dudi> hey guys I have big problem with NVIDIA Drivers... I go with this tut http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9769396&postcount=2 but after restart GDM didn't start
[11:46] <FstabUsers> thnx...will see...
[11:46] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, so you're really just extending this example to include the ACLs your after. So for user1 and user2 you should probably make a group for them, and use that as the "group=" constraint in fstab. That should achieve the desired affect you're after.
[11:46] <billy2007> iceroot i already have 2
[11:46] <asavari21> Ubuntu is cool
[11:46] <mad> salut
[11:47] <billy2007> iceroot but my usb one wont find the network either only my laptop built in is picking it up
[11:48] <Anakin_n> Squall5668, that's means ubuntu will use wine DX9 functions to rule the videocard ? not kernel driver or manufacturer driver ?
[11:48] <Dudi> So A1 can help me?

[11:48] <samroar> hi
[11:48] <wh1zz0> Got a little problem and would appreciate any help. I am connected via lan i.e eth0 but would like to share my internet to other users via some kind of ad-hoc.. So my windows box can connect to my network wirelessly. I tried turning on sharing on the wired section but that does not work.
[11:48] <Anakin_n> thesheff17, there is a lot of 3d modeling products direct for linux like Art of Illusion, Blender K-3D, POV-Ray, Radiance, YafRay
[11:49] <samroar> Is there a fix for bug 166328 in inkscape? Its stopping me doing any work
[11:50] <billy2007> wh1zz0, go to network manager and make a new wireless network as long as the pc connected to the internet is sending a signal to the other device itll work
[11:50] <samroar> see it says it is fixed, but ti still wont work for me
[11:51] <wh1zz0> Yes.. I created a new network with ssd and all
[11:51] <wh1zz0> The windows box sees me but after connecting it doesn't surf the web
[11:53] <AlexDevilLX> What email clients are compatible with mail indicator
[11:53] <newguy> if I place ubuntu on a slave drive, after installation, should I take out the primary drive and promote the slave to master, or does it matter?
[11:55] <billy2007> newguy, as long as its set to boot from either drive it shouldnt matter
[11:56] <mbenke> newguy you can also leave it on slave and install grub on master
[11:56] <wh1zz0> billy2007
[11:57] <HAWK_> whats the best way to wipe a hadrdrive
[11:57] <wh1zz0> Any idea why the win box sees but doesn't surf?
[11:57] <wh1zz0> I just tried changing eth0 to shared to other computers
[11:57] <mgolisch> AlexDevilLX: evolution
[11:57] <mgolisch> AlexDevilLX: i dont think any others are
[11:57] <wh1zz0> but then my own connection stops surfing
[11:58] <mbenke> HAWK dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<disk> bs=2048 (put proper device instead of <disk>)
[11:58] <mbenke> HAWK careful tho, it will really really wipe it
[11:58] <AlexDevilLX> mgolisch: I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, but after installing evolution it doesnt hide to mail indicator like pidgin
[11:59] <SwedeMike> mbenke: why do you set 2048 as blocksize? I usually go for around 1 meg. 2048 sounds small.
[11:59] <mgolisch> AlexDevilLX: it probably does not do that
[11:59] <AlexDevilLX> mgolisch: How to fix it
[11:59] <mbenke> SwedeMike try to fit actual blocksize, avoid unnecessary buffering
[12:00] <mbenke> /dev/zero is really fast ;)
[12:02] <mgolisch> AlexDevilLX: dunno maybe it just doesnt hide
[12:02] <mgolisch> i dont use evolution
[12:02] <mgolisch> and i dont use gnome either
[12:03] <AlexDevilLX> What are you using?
[12:03] <wh1zz0> msg billy2007 please can you help?
[12:03] <AlexDevilLX> KDE or XFCE
[12:03] <mgolisch> iam using awesome as wm
[12:03] <AlexDevilLX> Hey, are there any mail clioents, that hide to mail indicator
[12:03] <pbos> Hi, I'm still using jaunty and the archive.ubuntu.com entry has disappeared, how do I do a dist-upgrade when I get a lot of 404's from the jaunty repositories?
[12:05] <pbos> When trying to update through update-manager, I get "Can not upgrade: An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool."
[12:06] <Phosphate> Anyone know if there's a way to stop the unity bar from autohiding in Unity-2D? Tried the Compiz Unity plugin on 2 different machines and the setting doesn't do anything.

[12:07] <Boon> any idea?
[12:07] <meisth0th> hello
[12:08] <Boon> any idea?
[12:08] <Boon> i keep get setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3
[12:08] <th^^> Phosphate: yes, look for 'compizconfig' in software center
[12:08] <Boon> setfacl -m u:lighttpd:rx /var/www
[12:08] <mbenke> pbos, have you tried upgrading to karmic first?
[12:08] <Pici> !repeat | Boon
[12:08] <meisth0th> i am trying to install ubuntu on my friend's laptop
[12:08] <th^^> Phosphate: then go to system settings -> compizconfig manager, search for 'unity', there's plugin for unity, there you can disable autohiding, change panel size, etc
[12:08] <Boon> searched not found
[12:09] <meisth0th> he has ati radeon mobility 4650 graphics card
[12:09] <pbos> mbenke: can I specify that with command-line options etc.?
[12:09] <th^^> Phosphate: ah, sorry, 2D, didn't read
[12:09] <Phosphate> th, thanks but yes I'm using Compiz-config and using that plugin. Under Unity 2-D it doesnt seem to have any effect.
[12:09] <th^^> Phosphate: that's possible too, sec, i had something bookmarked for this :)
[12:09] <Phosphate> Thanks!
[12:09] <th^^> Phosphate: http://marianochavero.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/a-simple-gui-for-unity-2d-settings-ubuntu-11-04/

[12:10] <FstabUsers> ppetraki: fstab is not responding as it should...i have //<IP_ADDRESS>/T /media/T smbfs user=sampleuser,password=samplepassword,gid=samplegroup. user1 is not in samplegroup, but user1 can mount this. How come?
[12:10] <meisth0th> what driver should he use? will he have any performance issues?
[12:10] <Boon> FstabUsers: can you help me?
[12:11] <th^^> meisth0th: that card is old enough to work ok with open driver i guess, but it'll suck for gaming
[12:11] <FstabUsers> if i can...whats the matteer
[12:11] <th^^> meisth0th: if you want games, proprietary is the only choice, but unity has a bit worse performance with closed driver
[12:11] <th^^> meisth0th: it's not too bad though, but dragging windows around etc lags more than with open, at least this is the case with my 6870
[12:12] <Pici> Boon: Addressing random people isn't really the right way to ask for support here. If someone knows the answer to your question they'll reply.  For your question, I'd suggest asking in #ubuntu-server as well, as its less 'desktop oriented' there.
[12:12] <mbenke> pbos never tried it.. have you tried update-manager -c ?
[12:12] <HAWK_> mbenke> im locked into an " A> "  command prompt and its asking for the name of the command interpreter?
[12:13] <mbenke> HAWK so you've really wiped your disk ... I have warned you it will really wipe it
[12:13] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, not sure, could be pre-existing config options defined somewhere else, or that new set of options hasn't actually taken effect
[12:13] <ppetraki> FstabUsers, /proc/mounts should show the exact options used.
[12:13] <BluesKaj> hey folks
[12:13] <meisth0th> th^^: so i'll activate proprietary driver, this is first time he uses linux and i don't want him to have bad impression about linux
[12:13] <HAWK_> no i cant get to the correct prompt to do it
[12:14] <th^^> meisth0th: yeha, it should work just fine, that window dragging with compiz sucks a bit though, but it ain't unusable
[12:14] <mbenke> HAWK seems you have no system installed
[12:14] <AFD> who was the guy here talking to me about my encrypted partition problem? I think I'm making progress - want to share
[12:14] <kamidi> does anyone know why i i have to use 'padsp' with sudo for it to work? if i don't use sudo, it gives error: ERROR: ld.so: object 'libpulsedsp.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

[12:28] <AlexDevilLX> linke Rhythmbox and Banshee

[12:29] <UbuntuUzer> Ok I have a difficult problem. I need to install apache offline. How in the world can I download all the dependencies for it easily?
[12:29] <AFD> I can mount it using a live disk but there's a swap partition that might contain grub (how do I check?)
[12:29] <HAWK_> newguy im right there with ya
[12:29] <Pici> UbuntuUzer: try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/
[12:29] <HAWK_> ive got four days into it though
[12:30] <AlexDevilLX> How to make totem hide like Rhytmbox and banhee(to indicator)?
[12:30] <SkiOne> hi, I am trying to setup rsync to mirror a server. I am following this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/mirroring_with_rsync_p2 and I get to the end and it is still asking me for a password. Obviously I did something wrong with setting up the keys but I am not sure how to trouble shoot
[12:30] <alexleon> pici update the iphone ios like from 4.2 to 4.3 u know :)
[12:30] <UbuntuUzer> Pici: so those are all the dependencies I must download?
[12:30] <Pici> alexleon: There is no software for Ubuntu that will let you do that.
[12:30] <mattycoze> hey guys how do I use find to find files created on a specific date "18th october, 2010" in subdirectories
[12:30] <alexleon> oh :(
[12:30] <Pici> UbuntuUzer: Make sure that you put in the meta-package that you have.
[12:30] <UbuntuUzer> Pici: then I just do dpkg -i * for all of those dependencies?
[12:31] <Pici> UbuntuUzer: Yes.
[12:31] <Rouse> how to access the partition ... i could not create folders other than my home directory
[12:31] <UbuntuUzer> Pici: what is a meta package?
[12:31] <Rouse> i have 3 partition in my hard disk
[12:31] <Rouse> i can create folder in my home directory alone
[12:31] <CruX|> Rouse: well permissions ?
[12:32] <Rouse> yes
[12:32] <Pici> UbuntuUzer: A package that doesn't contain any data itself, but just depends on other packages.  So for a desktop install, it would be ubuntu-desktop.
[12:32] <CruX|> and what do you want to do
[12:32] <rkhshm> what are the essential softwares needed to be installed on 11.04 to get flash support? I just opened a link with flash and it says download plugin
[12:32] <Rouse> now my home has low memory
[12:32] <Pici> rkhshm: install the flashplugin-installer package.
[12:33] <Rouse> so i need to save my files in another partition..but its un accessible
[12:33] <llutz_> Rouse: what filesystem?
[12:34] <Rouse> ext4
[12:34] <CruX|> Rouse: do you have writing permissions there ? is partition mounted in rw ?
[12:34] <mattycoze> hey guys how do I use find to find files created on a specific date "18th october, 2010" in subdirectories: I can't work out how to do it from the man page
[12:34] <llutz_> Rouse: use chown/chmod to adjust permissions
[12:35] <Rouse> whats the command ?
[12:35] <Rouse> llutz,
[12:35] <Pici> SkiOne: If you just ssh in (not using rsync) does it ask you for a password?
[12:35] <alexleon> after i write top on terminal how can i end a process?
[12:35] <CruX|> chmod
[12:35] <iceroot> alexleon: q
[12:35] <llutz_> Rouse: read: man chmod, man chown
[12:35] <iceroot> alexleon: a sorry, you want to kill a process instead of stoping top
[12:35] <UbuntuUzer> Pici: this thing isn't making a whole lot of sense. It is telling me I need to download a .deb, but I know those debs have dependencies.
[12:35] <iceroot> alexleon: press "k" in top and then type in the pid
[12:35] <alexleon> yes i wanna kill it
[12:35] <alexleon> :)
[12:36] <SkiOne> Picl yes
[12:36] <alexleon> ok
[12:36] <CruX|> alexleon: k key, but htop is better
[12:36] <Pici> UbuntuUzer: So what did you enter in the fields?
[12:36] <newguy> why would the CD live version of ubuntu work on my system,,but the actual installed version won't even budge?
[12:36] <UbuntuUzer> Pici: for example I need to install package apache2-mpm-worker (it's one of apache2's dependencies) and the metapackage for all apache is apache2
[12:36] <alexleon> htop?
[12:36] <alexleon> do i write htop?
[12:37] <Pici> UbuntuUzer: The metapackage field is for metapackages that you already have installed.
[12:37] <Lomex> why is this room so empty???
[12:37] <UbuntuUzer> oh I have not installed any packages yet Pici , so I leave it blank right?
[12:37] <Pici> Lomex: 'this room' has 1,490 people in it.
[12:38] <Rouse> please tell me the command
[12:38] <newguy> no advice?
[12:38] <alexleon> great i did it :)
[12:38] <Pici> UbuntuUzer: Put at least ubuntu-minimal.  I'm not sure if theres a better meta-package for server though.
[12:38] <alexleon> my ubuntu freezes too much :(
[12:38] <billy2007> is there anyway to tether my iphone in reverse i.e use my pcs internet through my iphone
[12:38] <Pici> SkiOne: Did you do ssh -i /path/to/your/key user@host
[12:39] <CruX|> alexleon: what freezes ?
[12:39] <alexleon> crux my ubuntu like when i close a game

[12:43] <Dudi> hey guys I have big problem with NVIDIA Drivers... I go with this tut http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9769396&postcount=2 but after restart GDM didn't start
[12:43] <alexleon> uh?
[12:43] <SkiOne> Pici: the yes it is still asking for the password
[12:43] <alexleon> well
[12:43] <BluesKaj> alexleon, 3G
[12:43] <alexleon> i use a 64bit ubuntu also and it freezes so much what u think it could be?
[12:43] <szal> Dudi: and what's wrong w/ the packaged nvidia driver that you don't use that?
[12:44] <UbuntuUzer> i give up, i'm just going to install the packages on a different machine via the internet
[12:44] <billy2007> llutz, i did this and it disconnects me from my wireless network and before you ask im  not usin that on my phone because it wont find it
[12:44] <Dudi> szal, do what?
[12:44] <dli> alexleon, freezes, you mean hard hang? not even respond to kernel magic keys?
[12:44] <BluesKaj> Dudi, which nvidia card?
[12:45] <szal> Dudi: read again, I think I made myself clear enough
[12:45] <Pici> UbuntuUzer: What release of Ubuntu are you using?
[12:45] <szal> Dudi: and yes, what card?
[12:45] <Dudi> BluesKaj, 330m
[12:46] <llutz_> billy2007: if you have a wireless network, you should have a wifi-ap you could connect your iphone to, no?
[12:46] <alexleon> dli no it freezes just the window like im watching a video on firefox nd it feezes so i cant use that window anymore but i can minimize nd open firefox again -.-
[12:46] <Dudi> BluesKaj, I'm back
[12:46] <isteve_> hey
[12:46] <isteve_> everyone
[12:46] <billy2007> llutz, what do you mean by wifi app
[12:46] <llutz_> billy2007: wifi-accesspoint
[12:46] <crackerjackz> does anyone here know anything about firestarter?
[12:47] <dli> alexleon, that's much better than hard hangs
[12:47] <billy2007> llutz,  thats what i said my iphone wont pick it up
[12:47] <szal> Dudi: 'sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall' (if you already ran the binary script) '&& sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot
[12:47] <ChesterX> hey, quick question: does ubuntu/linux have a ftp file manager that allows you to open and modify the files directly from the server without downloading it? (like cuteftp from globalscape)
[12:47] <llutz_> billy2007: hidden-ssid?
[12:47] <billy2007> but it will pick up a network made from the pc but then wont connect to wireless
[12:47] <dli> alexleon, do you have some remote file systems? like nfs or sshfs, etc
[12:47] <Dudi> szal, I have no internet connection
[12:47] <alexleon> ye dli but when i open like a game my screen turns black nd i cant do anything
[12:47] <isteve_> my problem is when i login in ubuntu and then nin fb: dont know wats the prob with my account . on bottom left corner i get -u r offline and must go online to chat plus on bottom right corner i see a green circle but when i click to see who all are online i dont get anything. i see the number of people i can chat but no name . i dont know what bug is this pls help to solve as m unable to chat to any one :-(  thanx in advance
[12:47] <szal> Dudi: how are you here then?
[12:48] <CruX|> ChesterX: krusader under kde is best
[12:48] <alexleon> i dont know whats a remote file :/
[12:48] <Pici> SkiOne: How far in that how-to did you get?
[12:48] <CruX|> ChesterX: there is also FUSE, you can use sshfs
[12:48] <Dudi> szal, I will have if I restore Xorg then I will have... With netbook
[12:48] <dli> alexleon, can you check for error messages in dmesg?
[12:48] <isteve_> same problem doesnt happen in windows.. in windows everything works fine. so i guess its prob of ubuntu
[12:48] <SkiOne> Pici: OK key exchange is working right, the tutorial has a command that does not allow pty connections so I removed it and now I can ssh without adding the password
[12:48] <alexleon> dli if u tell me how to do it :)
[12:48] <Pici> SkiOne: ah, good.
[12:48] <alexleon> im pretty new
[12:49] <dli> alexleon, in a terminal or console (Ctl-Alt-F1 ?)
[12:49] <SkiOne> something is this part was not happy with: command="/home/someuser/rsync/checkrsync",from="mirror.example.com",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty but just when running rsync
[12:49] <szal> Dudi: then run only 'sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall', it should revert you to the nouveau driver
[12:49] <alexleon> ok
[12:49] <dli> alexleon, type the command dmesg, or tail /var/log/syslog
[12:49] <Dudi> szal, ok wait..
[12:50] <BluesKaj> Dudi, did you try the recommended driver in sys>admin>additional drivers ..but you need the internet , like you did when you tried that tutorial on the forums
[12:50] <isteve__> anyone pls
[12:50] <SkiOne> Picl obviously the no-pty was why i could not ssh, but it should of worked when I rsynced
[12:50] <kathyAnne> hi
[12:50] <szal> Dudi: and don't forget to un-blacklist the nouveau driver
[12:50] <gry> hello kathyAnne
[12:50] <kathyAnne> hi gry
[12:50] <szal> Dudi: and possibly some of the fb drivers too, no idea which one

[12:51] <kathyAnne> i failed to use Ubuntu
[12:51] <NET||abuse> doing a quick dualboot install, should i setup / partition as ext3 or ext4 ?
[12:51] <NET||abuse> what's the pro's / con's
[12:51] <SkiOne> ok time for a stupid question, if I add a use to the root group should he be able to read everything on that server?
[12:51] <gry> kathyAnne: Please describe your problem in details for us to troubleshoot it.
[12:51] <szal> !anyone | isteve__
[12:51] <kathyAnne> I have many backup data in CD
[12:51] <NET||abuse> SkiOne, not entirely, if all files are 700 in a dir, no, as group does not have privilege then.

[12:52] <kathyAnne> both readable for Mac OSX and WIndows.... since I've been using Intel Mac
[12:52] <kathyAnne> the problem was that....
[12:52] <NET||abuse> BluesKaj, ye, it's 11.04, why ext4 over 3? i know it's newer, but is there a tangiable reason?
[12:52] <SkiOne> ah, I need to give a user read access over everything
[12:52] <isteve__> szal : i asked the question above
[12:52] <kathyAnne> I couldn't transfer all data which I burned to CD to Ubuntu
[12:53] <BluesKaj> NET||abuse, very stable in my experience
[12:53] <szal> isteve__: define 'above', I find nothing in the last half hour
[12:53] <kathyAnne> there are file access problem
[12:53] <crackerjackz> for some reason when i run firestarter i can't access any websites... yet i can ping them.. when i stop firestarter everything works fine. any ideas on why its doing that?
[12:53] <gry> kathyAnne: One IRC line is longer than you think.

[12:58] <NET||abuse> it seems to boot to CLI on the live cd, can i do an entirely net install from command line?

[12:59] <isteve__> billy2007 : i guess u can google it to get more detail answer
[12:59] <NET||abuse> o887
[12:59] <alexleon> brb
[12:59] <BluesKaj> !vpn | billy2007
[13:00] <isteve__> billy2007 : anyways it stands for virtual private network and it allows you to login your network safely even from outside your network
[13:00] <isteve__> szal : you there?
[13:01] <Dudi> szal, I uninstall driver and now nothing shows up
[13:01] <alexleon> it says comand check not found
[13:02] <szal> Dudi: did you a) make sure you deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and b) un-blacklist nouveau?
[13:03] <llutz_> alexleon: "check" is not a command, you should "check" like "dmesg |less"  or "less /var/log/syslog"
[13:03] <Dudi> szal, I did not do any of it because no1 say "do it"... damn
[13:03] <alexleon> lol
[13:04] <alexleon> ok ill do that
[13:04] <billy2007> could i set up a vpn for my iphone to connect through my pc
[13:04] <billy2007> via usb
[13:04] <Dudi> szal, it's like "and remember do backup your data befor any actions" at the end of tutorial
[13:05] <llutz_> billy2007: no, it would need a special driver letting your pc acting as a usb-networkcard for your iphone
[13:06] <billy2007> llutz this is becoming a pain i can reverse tether on windows but not on ubuntu
[13:07] <alexleon> well i didnt find any error :)
[13:07] <llutz_> billy2007: no idea, i neither use windows nor an iphone
[13:07] <phax> which pkg do I need to get the source of libstdc++-v3?  I have installed libstdc++6 and libstdc++6.4.4-dev but am not able to find the source
[13:08] <llutz_> billy2007: i'd check why the iphone cannot connect to your working wifi-network first
[13:08] <billy2007> llutz obviously to far away
[13:09] <billy2007> there HAS to be a way for my iphone to use my pcs internet somehow
[13:09] <llutz_> billy2007: your pc is connected to internet only via wifi, no wire-lan?
[13:10] <billy2007> llutz, thats right
[13:11] <llutz_> billy2007: what wifi-chipset? you have to create something like a virtual (2nd) wifi-device, which let you connect via ad-hoc connection. i know atheros-chips could do that
[13:12] <olofal> o/
[13:13] <billy2007> i have a calexico2 built in and a atheros wg111t usb device
[13:13] <llutz_> billy2007: so you already have 2 wifi-devices?
[13:14] <billy2007> yes but my onboard one is the only one that'll pick up my network
[13:14] <llutz_> billy2007: try to establish an ad-hoc to the wg111t
[13:15] <billy2007> llutz, how would i do that every setting ive changed before in network manager cuts off my network
[13:15] <llutz_> billy2007: iphone <-> wg111t          then try to setup ip-forwarding/masquerading with your internal-wifi as WAN-iface
[13:17] <llutz_> billy2007: sorry no idea how to do that with networkmanager. try using iwconfig, at least to setup the wg111t, without touching the internal
[13:17] <Jesdisciple> Hi.  I've managed to get an uncorrupted ISO over to my Ubuntu (this computer) via a flash drive.  I installed it to the hard disk with Unetbootin (frugal install) and tried to boot to it.  A message flashes on the screen that something is deprecated, too quickly to read, and then I'm presented with an ash shell (I think it was called "(initrmfs)".
[13:17] <ehw>  /win 2
[13:17] <Jesdisciple> My laptop's inbuilt keyboard is broken, so Enter and some other keys don't work; meanwhile, my external keyboard isn't detected at that stage of boot.  So all I can do is hard-reset the computer - but before, when I had suspected the ISO was corrupted because copies I downloaded later were so but I couldn't verify that because Unetbootin had deleted the ISO, I was able to type and entering "exit" caused a kernel panic.
[13:17] <ehw> urgh.
[13:19] <Jesdisciple> Any advice on taming Unetootin?
[13:19] <Jesdisciple> Unetbootin*
[13:19] <Jesdisciple> Ubuntu 9.10 - I can't find a Unetbootin version

[13:28] <matt08642> Hiya. I was wondering if making a bootable Windows XP USB stick in Ubuntu was as easy as formatting the USB as a primary FAT32 partition, then copying the CD contents to the USB???
[13:28] <llutz_> billy2007: what won't connect? the iphone or ad-hoc -> internet?
[13:29] <billy2007> the usb stick wont connect to the network i make
[13:29] <billy2007> but the onboard will
[13:29] <ChogyDan> matt08642: I think you need the right files on there for it to be bootable
[13:29] <quem> i got a problem with hdparm.. i can set -S to anything but 0.
[13:29] <quem> and i really want it to never spindown.
[13:29] <venol> helo, I have problem with mailgraph, anyone can help me.why mailgraph count sent message as receive message ? thanks for your help.
[13:29] <matt08642> @ChogyDan Do you happen to know what the right files I need are??
[13:30] <billy2007> venol, corrupt file maybe try to reinstall it
[13:30] <ChogyDan> matt08642: are you trying to make a windows boot?  You would have to ask windows folks for that
[13:31] <compdoc> wasanzy_, what browser are you using?
[13:31] <billy2007> llutz,  the usb stick wont connect to the network i make but the onboard will
[13:31] <cantor> can anyone help with the disk encryption done at installation?
[13:31] <matt08642> @ChogyDan: Yeah, I am. Problem is, all the sites I am looking at show you how to make the bootable USB from inside windows, which is useless to me as I already have Ubuntu
[13:31] <matt08642> lol
[13:31] <matt08642> oh well, I'll look around. Thanks!
[13:31] <llutz_> billy2007: does the usb-stick work unter linux at all?
[13:32] <billy2007> yes i have ndiswraper and it detects other wireless networks
[13:32] <llutz_> billy2007: sorry no idea what to do
[13:32] <venol> billy2007: I think so, and I'm reinstall mailgraph. But the problem still same. Hmm, how about log_level of postfix or amavisd ? Because Mailgraph update rrd database use log file
[13:33] <will123> hey guys. in ubuntu 11.04, do your window buttons highlight / change when you mouse over them?
[13:33] <cantor> @anyone: how do I recover my passphrase for disk encryption on Lucid.  I can login, I just need to write it down.

[13:35] <NET||abuse> hey all, haveing trouble getting the usb boot to work on my Sony VGN-FW21E   just says Boot error, thta's it
[13:35] <NET||abuse> usb drive boot is enabled, if i take it out i land back in windows 7 so there's nothing else wrong.
[13:35] <compdoc> wasanzy_, Ive seen using the wrong browser causing problems because it requires java to work properly, but I have no idea what that error means
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> cantor: im not sure you can recover it
[13:35] <billy2007> i know its a weird question but would an xbox360 wifi adapter work on ubuntu
[13:36] <billy2007> or would i need the drivers
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> billy2007: try it and see
[13:36] <cantor> Dr_Willis, there is an app that pops up when you install.  There is a button that says, show passphrase
[13:36] <wasanzy_> I will try other browser and see
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> cantor:  thats to make sure you soell ut right. nit recover it. i belive
