[00:00] <Nighthawk``> ilovefairuz, any chance u know why at youtube and videos in generall i see cubes and stuff like that ? is there codec packs at linux ? cause i just moved from windows..
[00:00] <irfaN> Hi, Reinstall with live cd after broke my bootloader. How can I test It will work or not ?
[00:00] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, can I add you to friends?
[00:01] <ilovefairuz> Nighthawk``: if you don't need 3d acceleration, try disabling the driver in the window you had in the screenshot,  reboot and tets
[00:01] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: sure
[00:01] <d34dh4ck> got an odd question, I have two dual psx controller adapters ?(giving a total of 4 ports )
[00:01] <battlehands> what does -fr stand for?
[00:01] <battlehands> is the remove command?
[00:02] <Nighthawk``> ilovefairuz, how can i see the log of linux when he starts, cause i think he wrote me "unable to load 3d acceleration"..
[00:02] <d34dh4ck> these adapters are mounted internally and conected to a usb header on the mother board, i want to set udev rules to make them js0-3 statically so i can set up game sto allways use the correct controller
[00:02] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: -f means force removal (of non empty directories contained inside) and -r means work recursively
[00:02] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, I tried that command, but it deleted the whole folder.
[00:02] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: then you missed the /* at the very end of the command
[00:02] <d34dh4ck> problem is that since they are dual adapters they only have one usb address, any way to get around this limitation for setting the udev rules?
[00:02] <Chipzzz> battlehands: "man rm"
[00:03] <cdavis> Is there a way to get nm-applet to run in the awn bar?
[00:03] <battlehands> Chipzzz, is that an undo command?
[00:04] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: no, 'man' is short for manual, a sort of a help page for shell commands
[00:04] <Chipzzz> battlehands: no, it's the manual page... I mentioned it because it's very useful for many situations
[00:04] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: press q after you finish reading to exit
[00:04] <battlehands> Chipzzz, ilovefairuz thanks
[00:05] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, I deleted my "Downloads" folder.  How do I get it back?
[00:05] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: you can't..
[00:06] <battlehands> lololol
[00:06] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, can I create a new folder and specify for firefox to dl into that folder by default?
[00:06] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: if you just trashed it, look in the trash folder
[00:06] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, and will Downloads now be deleted in my Ubuntu One?
[00:06] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: alt+f2, trash://
[00:06] <ilovefairuz> and press enter
[00:07] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: i don't use ubuntu one
[00:07] <battlehands> no
[00:07] <GamingDroid> Is there a GUI way of changing screen resolution on Ubuntu 10.10 running inside WMware Player?
[00:07] <battlehands> its not in trash
[00:07] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, what do you use?  Dropbox?
[00:07] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: nope, just ssh
[00:07] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, whats ssh?
[00:07] <ilovefairuz> !ssh | battlehands
[00:08] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, are you a power user?
[00:08] <GamingDroid> nvm, finally found it. It was hidden under System->Preference->Monitors
[00:08] <nameless`> GamingDroid: the little monitor icon on the panel in the notification area ?
[00:09] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: offtopice, what's a power user anyway? i just prefer simpler solutions
[00:09] <ilovefairuz> offtopic **
[00:09] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, basically, a pro
[00:09] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, should be called "prower user"
[00:09] <uya> hallao
[00:10] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: good one, but i'm not one of those!
[00:10] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, is ssh free?
[00:10] <nameless`> battlehands: yes
[00:10] <uya> ada orang indo gak
[00:10] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, :)
[00:10] <nameless`> battlehands: it's free software, as weel as GNU/Linux
[00:10] <battlehands> nameless`, Im going to try it out
[00:10] <GamingDroid> nameless: thanks! That is weird, it wasn't there earlier. I saw it on a tutorial online too....
[00:10] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: yes and it's pre-installed, but you need to buy a hosting space supporting ssh to transfer your files there
[00:10] <battlehands> so much ubuntu to learn in one day
[00:11] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, I have hosting space for my company.  Can I use that space?
[00:11] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: if it supports ssh, then yes, check Places > Connect to, you'll find SSH in the drop down list
[00:12] <Chipzzz> battlehands: or, type "ssh mysite.com"
[00:13] <SirShmoopy> has anyone gotten ExpressCard/34 USB 3.0 working in ubuntu? running 10.10x64
[00:13] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, I dont know what info to fill into the SHH selection
[00:14] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: ask your system administrator or hosting company to provide you with the appropriate data for your hosting space
[00:15] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: it's different for everybody
[00:15] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, ok. brb
[00:15] <elocina> wiki
[00:16] <elocina> sorry wrong window
[00:16] <opium> is it possible to change the size of my persistency without reinstall ubuntu on my pendrive?
[00:16] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, I dont really understand "Recusrion"
[00:17] <ilovefairuz> battlehands: are you referring to the -r in the rm command ?
[00:17] <battlehands> ilovefairuz, yes
[00:18] <_eclark> Are the ec2 ubuntu archives down ?
[00:18] <metta> what protocol supports voice chat in empathy?
[00:19] <toni_> hello , need to create  daily automatic backup for 1 .cfg file to ftp server  ....
[00:19] <nameless`> toni_: cron
[00:19] <Chipzzz> metta: SIP, XMPP and Google Talk
[00:20] <toni_> can u explain more pls
[00:20] <violinappren> battlehands: it simply means deleting the files and folders within the folder being deleted at all levels. if you have a inside b inside c, then rm -fr c will delete a then b then c
[00:20] <unresolved> hi
[00:20] <toni_> cron with cp command ?
[00:20] <battlehands> violinappren, thanks
[00:20] <metta> Chipzzz: metta.  that was worth two pennies to me.  how much are pennies worth right now?
[00:21] <crimsonmane> lol@metta
[00:21] <metta> pennies are worth $1 in the future
[00:21] <battlehands> violinappren, why did you switch names?
[00:21] <crimsonmane> can a WUSB device be "unmounted" and "mounted" manually?
[00:22] <metta> Chipzzz: if you ever get bored, hit me up in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:22] <violinappren> battlehands: internet disconnection
[00:22] <battlehands> violinappren, k
[00:22] <imabitch> what is fucking up?
[00:22] <dejan_> ubuntu have issue with wpa encoding?
[00:22] <violinappren> !language | imabitch
[00:23] <battlehands> violinappren, I dont think I have SSH, I only have hosting for a website
[00:23] <dejan_> when I set wpa preshare tkip key I can't connect to the wifi
[00:23] <violinappren> dejan_: no, it doesn't
[00:23] <dejan_> I can't connect to my wireless router when I set wpa key
[00:23] <violinappren> battlehands: some hosting plans include ssh, some don't
[00:23] <crimsonmane> dejan_:  if you're using a linksys usb wirelesscard then yes it does mess up
[00:24] <battlehands> violinappren, ok.  Im on hold with GoDaddy.  They host my site.  I will see if it is included in my package.
[00:24] <dejan_> yes
[00:24] <dejan_> I am using linksys
[00:24] <crimsonmane> dejan_: return your item to the store ASAP
[00:24] <dejan_> um but I have hp laptopt my router is linksys
[00:24] <acovrig> Can I grant www-data sudo for just 1 directory?
[00:24] <crimsonmane> oh
[00:24] <dejan_> no my network card is hp
[00:24] <crimsonmane> i meant the wireless card... nevermind then
[00:24] <dejan_> :)
[00:25] <dejan_> :S
[00:25] <dejan_> oh
[00:25] <FloodBot3> dejan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:25] <dejan_> I set mac address block but I see i log strange ips :(
[00:25] <crimsonmane> can a WUSB device be "unmounted" and "mounted" manually?
[00:25] <surreal7z> okey... one more question... how to line up ls -l  results?...
[00:26] <violinappren> acovrig: what? do you mean changing a directory ownership to www-data? sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/directory
[00:26] <dejan_> is my wireless router protected if I set mac address blocks for other mac addresses then my laptop?
[00:26] <nameless`> dejan_: not against mac spoofing
[00:26] <acovrig> violinappren: no, sadly, I want to be able to exec a .rb or .php file and have it mount something, but I don't think it'd be a good idea to chown www-data /media :(
[00:26] <violinappren> dejan_: any protection without using WPA2 is now useless
[00:27] <Chipzzz> crimsonmane: it's prolly easiest to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file with the correct essid, key & mode
[00:27] <dejan_> I think maybe wpa on the router is wpa 1 and ubutu have some bugs with it?
[00:27] <nameless`> dejan_: changing you mac address is one command line : sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55
[00:27] <linxeh> acovrig: use sudo rules
[00:27] <crimsonmane> Chipzzz: may i private message you ?
[00:27] <dejan_> I am sure that i cant connect to it only after I set wpa hm
[00:27] <rbrbos1> hi folks, having a problem downloading .iso files, ubuntu 10.04 lts; system freezes after 150 -300 mb
[00:27] <Chipzzz> sure
[00:27] <nameless`> dejan_: s/ethernet/ether
[00:27] <opium> is it possible to change the size of my persistency without reinstall ubuntu on my pendrive?
[00:27] <dejan_> yes nameless maybe my neighbours are hackers: )
[00:28] <acovrig> linxeh: let me guess visudo: www-data ALL:NOPASSWD /bin/mount
[00:28] <dejan_> I saw 3 ip addresses connected on my router after i set mac address block :))
[00:28] <linxeh> acovrig: well, I was going to suggest more restrictive, but something along those lines
[00:28] <neil_d> how could I test to see if java applet can play/record audio?
[00:29] <acovrig> linxeh: can I restrict to 1 directory-so that only works if its being run from one directory?
[00:29] <th3Unkn0wn> Hello
[00:30] <nameless`> acovrig: didn't get your question
[00:30] <th3Unkn0wn> What are the paritioning suggestions?
[00:31] <linxeh> acovrig: I havent done it for a long time, but I think you should be able to set it to just let www-data run your script as root (which you chown to own as root so nobody can edit it), and have the script do the mounting
[00:31] <Champagne> th3Unk0wn: there would be a swap partition, a boot partittion, and a data partition.  I always take the suggested layout.
[00:32] <th3Unkn0wn> okay, Champagne what about the size of those partitions?
[00:32] <Champagne> plz hold.
[00:32] <th3Unkn0wn> np
[00:33] <acovrig> linxeh: good idea, since this isn't a good idea: NOPASSWD: /sbin/fdisk,/bin/ln,/bin/mount,/bin/rm
[00:33] <Aikar> is there a command that simulates activity that will prevent ubuntu from suspending due to inactivity? i want to write a script to run every 1 minute that checks if Samba is currently active, and if so, prevent sleep
[00:34] <crimsonmane> Aikar:  there should be an option to turn off idle behavior, but the devs apparently disagreed :(
[00:34] <Aikar> crimsonmane: i want my pc to go to sleep, just, it goes to sleep while im accessing a sambashare from another PC
[00:34] <davidstrauss> How can I permanently increase "ulimit -n"? I can easily set it once, but it doesn't survive reboot.
[00:34] <crimsonmane> Aikar: that's what i'm sayin. we werent given an option and it makes me sad
[00:36] <violinappren> davidstrauss:  /etc/security/limits.conf
[00:36] <crimsonmane> !ulimit
[00:38] <davidstrauss> crimsonmane, Is that bot command supposed to do something?
[00:38] <davidstrauss> crimsonmane, ah
[00:38] <manoot-home> I'm interested in moving to a fully linux environment for Rails 3 coding, and was wondering which Ubuntu flavor i should go with? 10.04 or 10.10?
[00:38] <crimsonmane> it's a dictionary thing... it tole me it didn't know anything about it.
[00:38] <manoot-home> should i stick with LTS until the next LTS comes out for coding purposes?
[00:39] <crimsonmane> manoot-home: yes
[00:39] <violinappren> davidstrauss: man limits.conf
[00:39] <th3Unkn0wn> hmm
[00:39] <manoot-home> thanks crimson figured as much just don't have much experience with debian/ubuntu. mostly CentOS
[00:40] <pac1> th3Unknown,  with very large hard drives, putting most of linux in one partition is probably what you want to do.
[00:40] <Aikar> manoot-home: as a dev id prolly suggest 10.10, isnt LTS locked to only security updates? 10.10 will give you more up to date apps
[00:40] <pac1> however there are some exceptions.
[00:40] <davidstrauss> violinappren, I added this (http://pastie.org/1630777) to my limits.conf file, but I still get 1024 for ulimit -n
[00:40] <th3Unkn0wn> pac1: k thanks
[00:41] <acovrig> linxeh: sadly that didn't work, any other ideas?
[00:41] <pac1> I always put home on a separate partition.  That way I can switch between distributions or versions of linux without losing all my stuff.
[00:41] <Champagne> th3Unk0wn: OK. I think the swap partition is equal to the RAM size.  The boot partition is 5031 blocks.  I don't know how to translate blocks to GB
[00:41] <Champagne> Great idea
[00:41] <Locutus_of_Borg> Isn't there a command line argument that causes a continuously updating reading on the command? Like, if I wanted to continuously watch the output of the command "sensors", how would I do that?
[00:41] <Champagne> tail -f
[00:42] <pac1> th3Unknown, swap slightly larger than your memory, but it doesn't really matter that much.
[00:42] <dejan_> hey
[00:42] <violinappren> davidstrauss: log out and back in
[00:42] <DrkCodeman> ulimit is hard coded lol
[00:42] <someones1> can someone help me with bringing up a degraded raid1 when the remaining HD in question has evidently lost its superblocks?
[00:42] <dejan_> I definitively have problem accessing wifi router when I set up wpa key
[00:42] <pac1> You need enough swap so you can run lots of memory hogging applications at the same time... but who does that.
[00:43] <Champagne> Firefox ?
[00:43] <pac1> my swap usually stays idle, while 4g of memory rarely gets filled up.
[00:43] <dejan_> why can this happen anyone have issue access wireless router with hp laptop with wpa key?
[00:43] <Locutus_of_Borg> 3 words: Solid state drives.
[00:43] <Locutus_of_Borg> :P
[00:43] <pac1> anyone know how to monitor swap activity?
[00:43] <DrkCodeman> ulimit is definately a first for ircd's you should ask someone who runs a irc network they do that all the time :P
[00:43] <dejan_> pac1
[00:43] <dejan_> how to setup swap memory on install?
[00:43] <opium> is it possible to change the size of my persistency without reinstall ubuntu on my pendrive?
[00:43] <dejan_> i set swap 0 becasue i didnt knew how to set up swap..
[00:44] <pac1> dejan,  you can always add swap
[00:44] <dejan_> also what kind of format you used for formating? fat32 or..?
[00:44] <pac1> swap is just an empty partition.
[00:44] <pac1> no file system, just a bunch of blocks.
[00:44] <dejan_> i dont know what is best I set first formating option and no swap :S
[00:44] <pac1> dejan, do you have empty space on your hd?
[00:44] <DrkCodeman> swap is like the equivalant to windows pagefile
[00:44] <dejan_> pac1 how?
[00:44] <pac1> exactly
[00:44] <davidstrauss> violinappren, Is there a special case for root being limited to 1024?
[00:44] <fadax> hi
[00:45] <violinappren> Locutus_of_Borg: man watch
[00:45] <davidstrauss> violinappren, Normal users get the right ulimit on login. root doesn't.
[00:45] <pac1> use gparted to examine your disks
[00:45] <dejan_> yes i have empty space
[00:45] <Champagne> free -s 5       Display memory usage every 5 seconds continuously
[00:45] <pac1> how many disks dejan_?
[00:45] <dejan_> 1
[00:45] <pac1> ok
[00:45] <pac1> how many partitions on it?
[00:45] <dejan_> 1 partition
[00:45] <battlehands> violinappren, Ive been on the line with tech support at godaddy.  My hosting does support SSH, and we are setting up my FTP.
[00:45] <pac1> ok so linux only.
[00:45] <pac1> right?
[00:45] <dejan_> yes yes
[00:45] <pac1> ok.
[00:46] <dejan_> i just deleted everything i have only linux os
[00:46] <pac1> you probably used the whole thing for your partition.  Which type of file system do you have?
[00:46] <fadax> i'm trying to get my wifi card to work on ubuntu 10.10.   on boot i get the error  iwlagn request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-6000g2b-5.ucode' failed.  Does anyone know how i can fix this?
[00:46] <dejan_> i d idnt knew how to make swap when i formated my disk with ubuntu
[00:46] <violinappren> davidstrauss: perhaps it gets amended in  .bashrc or  .profile
[00:46] <dejan_> i have first type
[00:46] <dejan_> journnal..4 something :)
[00:46] <violinappren> battlehands: good then
[00:46] <dejan_> sry i don;t remember right name I have no idea what is the difference between different formating
[00:47] <battlehands> violinappren, it can take 30 min to 24 hours.  Im going to take a break and go study until I receive that email.  See you then!
[00:47] <violinappren> battlehands: good luck
[00:47] <someones1> would appreciate any help anyone can give me in bringing up a degraded raid1 array where the remaining drive has lost its superblocks... nothing seems to work -_-
[00:47] <dejan_> I will learn about those things but the things what bothers me this day is the issue with wifi router
[00:48] <pac1> dejan_  there's two approaches.  1 Reinstall after saving the files you want to keep, making partitions for linux, home and swap  2 resizing the partition you have to be smaller and creating home and swap from the reduction.
[00:48] <pac1> 1 is easier than 2
[00:48] <pac1> 2 is cooler.
[00:48] <Locutus_of_Borg> violinappren: Thanks!
[00:48] <dejan_> I thik i will read about this
[00:48] <violinappren> Locutus_of_Borg: you're welcome
[00:48] <pac1> google resize partition linux
[00:48] <dejan_> more because its useful to know these things also the kind of formating
[00:48] <dejan_> right now i have no idea i just know that fat32 will alow me to acces win files only
[00:48] <dejan_> and mac i think
[00:49] <pac1> dejan _, If you run windows, a Fat32 partition would be best, NTFS if you want w7.
[00:49] <dejan_> ok can anyone help about this wifi issue
[00:50] <dejan_> does anyone have issue accesing linksys wireless router wpa protected with hp laptop?
[00:50] <pac1> I don't have wifi, except on my router.
[00:50] <dejan_> i can access it without wpa key but with it i cant :S
[00:50] <pac1> dejan_ that's one for googling.
[00:50] <dejan_> yes i guess.. :S
[00:50] <dejan_> ok then ill go on google
[00:50] <dejan_> sec
[00:50] <pac1> are you sure you know your wpa key?
[00:52] <doomrobo> I just deleted a file from the terminal, how do I recover it?
[00:52] <dejan_> um i think i ll get wifi radar
[00:53] <dejan_> ":)
[00:53] <pac1> wpa seems to be fussy  exactly 5 or 13 characters of text, or exactly 10 or 26 characters of 0-9 A-F
[00:53] <dejan_> its bug with hp laptop and linksys router and wpa
[00:53] <dejan_> yes
[00:54] <pac1> do you have a link to the bug?  paste link.
[00:54] <someones1> is there any way to reset or ignore missing superblocks on a degraded raid1?
[00:54] <LuckySMackDroid> I'm installing Ubuntu onto a system which has a raid card (raid 1).windows is installed on that main driveand I'm installing maverick onto a secondary drive (patriot drive shown in this image). But I'm not sure which selection to install grub to. Any one willing to help? http://db.tt/0SD6C72
[00:55] <pac1> LuckySMackDroid,  your nick is too long!
[00:55] <pac1> Lucky, you have LVM on your disks
[00:55] <LuckySMackDroid> I'm thinking it should be the one I have highlighted that says loader. But I want to make sure. This is my first time using a raid.
[00:55] <Aikar> crimsonmane: interesting. i just found theres a gnome-screensaver-command --poke that simulates user activity. so ima combine that with another script i found to check for samba access, and simply poke anytime samba is active. ill post to my blog when i get it working
[00:56] <pac1> Lucky, anything on that raid that you can't do without?
[00:56] <LuckySMackDroid> Pac1. Lol yea I know. And I'm not sure. When setting up they raid I didn't see lvm mentioned anywhere.
[00:57] <pac1> LVM is what linux uses for the same purpose.
[00:57] <pac1> if you boot into the alternate install disk, lvm and raid support will be avialble.
[00:57] <pac1> There's a utility for examining lvm partitions.
[00:58] <pac1> not sure you can boot the alt install disk though.
[00:58] <LuckySMackDroid> Ok. I'm using the normal live ce to install. And the raid was setup with a hardware raid card using a raid boos.
[00:59] <pac1> lucky, I"m not sure about the distinction of Hardware RAid and LVM partitioning.  THey might not be the same thing.
[00:59] <LuckySMackDroid> Ok so then there's not much I an Don I need the although dvd then
[00:59] <pac1> although dev/mapper is what I see when I look at disks.
[00:59] <LuckySMackDroid> Yea I don't know either. This is my first raid experience.
[01:00] <LuckySMackDroid> Yea mapper is on there
[01:00] <demonspork> LuckySMackDroid, don't play WoW much do you?
[01:00] <pac1> Lucky,  any partition can be used for the boot loader, but LVM has to be part of the installation if you're going to use it to boot.
[01:00] <demonspork> no raiding?
[01:00] <bjhaid> I downloaded a file with the extension .apxl, does anyone know any ubuntu application i can use to assess it?
[01:00] <pac1> you could even put it on that memory stick, I think.
[01:01] <pac1> is that screen pic the installer?
[01:01] <LuckySMackDroid> Not wow. I do games on my windows boot just not wow.
[01:01] <ubuntu23123> hello!
[01:01] <ubuntu23123> Can someone help me restore grub2?
[01:01] <pac1> update-grub
[01:01] <ubuntu23123> I just installed windows7 onto a new HDD and it wiped out my grub2
[01:01] <soreau> ! grub2 | ubuntu23123
[01:02] <LuckySMackDroid> Pac1 yea that's what I'm looking at now.the maverick live cd
[01:03] <ubuntu23123> http://pastebin.com/tYFEpEkq
[01:03] <LuckySMackDroid> Pac1 well that's the selection list to cheese where I want to install grub. The windows install is windows 7
[01:04] <pac1> I wouldn't put it there.
[01:04] <pac1> There's some stuff to read out there about booting and LVM.  go google!
[01:05] <LuckySMackDroid> Well theitem I have selected isn't the actual windows partition. Its a 100mb partition that the MBR is on.
[01:05] <LuckySMackDroid> Yea illnlok itnup now
[01:05] <pac1> ok so why not that one?
[01:05] <ubuntu23123> how do i DL and install grub2?
[01:06] <LuckySMackDroid> That's what I was asking in the first place. I wasn't sure if it made a difference since it was a raid.last time I tried it didn't load grub and went right to windows
[01:06] <pac1> instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[01:07] <pac1> does windows have the mbr at the root of the disk?
[01:07] <LuckySMackDroid> So I brought the installer back to this point so I could take Tue picture and ask about it
[01:08] <LuckySMackDroid> Yea. In that 100mb partition I have selected. Which is what I tried last time
[01:08] <pac1> but you already tried installing grub there?
[01:08] <ubuntu23123> i got a menu from installing grub in a terminal
[01:09] <ubuntu23123> how do i select which device to install grub on?
[01:09] <ubuntu23123> its giving me the option of both hdds
[01:09] <ubuntu23123> i just dont know how to select it
[01:09] <LuckySMackDroid> Yea and when rebooting I never got the grub menu and it went straight to windows.
[01:09] <ubuntu23123> everytime i press enter it says 'you chose no volume'
[01:09] <Scunizi> I added stuff to my ~.bash_aliases yesterday and on todays boot nothing in there works.. any help appriciated .. http://pastebin.com/w9sqS00q
[01:10] <someones1> i'm trying to bring up a degraded raid1 array, but the remaining HD seems to have lost its superblocks.  is there any way to restore/ignore this issue just to mount it and get the data off?
[01:10] <pac1> look at your partitions in a tool like gparted.  Is one of them set as "Bootable"?
[01:10] <LuckySMackDroid> Ubuntu12123 space?
[01:10] <ubuntu23123> it worked!
[01:11] <ubuntu23123> grub failed to install
[01:11] <pac1> error message?
[01:11] <LuckySMackDroid> Pac1 ill check
[01:11] <jordotech> do you guys have any suggestions on a laptop running ubuntu

[01:12] <LuckySMackDroid> Any should do really. My HP ran great with ubuntu
[01:12] <ubuntu23123> sorry
[01:12] <pac1> ubuntu23123 try sda
[01:12] <ubuntu23123> failed to install
[01:13] <pac1> ubuntu23123, if you don't have anything precious on that pc, just continue.
[01:14] <ubuntu23123> i continued
[01:14] <ubuntu23123> nothing happened
[01:15] <pac1> try a reboot
[01:15] <LuckySMack> pac1 ok so that 100mb partition is labeled as boot.
[01:15] <ubuntu23123> error: http://pastebin.com/jM78hTuM
[01:15] <ubuntu23123> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[01:16] <toshikan> algum brasileiro??
[01:16] <pac1> now there's some errors!
[01:16] <rww> !br | toshikan
[01:16] <ubuntu23123> yeah, pac1 :P
[01:16] <ubuntu23123> so, what do I do now? reboot? :P
[01:16] <Scunizi> Very strange..... I just found that I don't have a .bashrc file in my ~ directory... How'z that possible?
[01:16] <pac1> luckySMack, labeled how?  Usually there's an asterisk
[01:16] <rww> Scunizi: because you deleted it? ;P
[01:16] <pac1> ubuntu23123, I'd try that.
[01:17] <unresolved> every time i format my hdd is smaller is there a reason for this ?
[01:17] <unresolved> i had 500gb
[01:17] <ubuntu23123> reboot into my HDD or into the liveCD that Im on?
[01:17] <unresolved> now its down to 490
[01:17] <unresolved> cant i reformat and get my 10gb back
[01:17] <Scunizi> rww: not knowingly.. or even probably on accident.. If I copy one from another user and chown it would it be the same?
[01:17] <pac1> try the hd
[01:17] <rww> Scunizi: copy from /etc/skel/.bashrc
[01:18] <ubuntu23123> os-prober gives me this: http://pastebin.com/Dk2jzyms
[01:18] <Scunizi> rww:  ah ok.. I saw that copy there.. thanks
[01:18] <LuckySMack> pac1 yea there is. taking a screen
[01:18] <ubuntu23123> still reboot into the HDD?
[01:18] <pac1> but that probably is not going to work
[01:18] <pac1> ubuntu23123, hang on.
[01:19] <Scunizi> rww: should it have 755 permissions or 744 ?? or something different?
[01:19] <LuckySMack> pac1: http://min.us/ll2Jq6
[01:20] <rww> Scunizi: either of those would be fine
[01:20] <crimsonmane> right click a file (like WoW.exe), Properties, Permissions Tab. WHAT IS THE POINT in having a checkbox to make the file executable IF I CANT CHECK IT nor can i change anything on the tab
[01:20] <mycosys> anyone got any idea how to make xkb update its keymappings?
[01:20] <rww> Scunizi: you need rwx access, and others probably shouldn't have write, so...
[01:20] <mycosys> have edited the rules and symbols, but seems to have had no effect
[01:21] <LuckySMack> pac1: im running from a live cd installed onto a flash drive. so if i can download and install the lvm stuff i could try that, i wonder.
[01:21] <zachlr> Could someone explain to me what this means?  http://pastebin.com/3xd5ke4H
[01:21] <Scunizi> rww: 744 would eliminate the write for others.. once I'm done (already :) ).. how do I get the system to read it?
[01:21] <Scunizi> rww: exec bash?
[01:22] <rww> Scunizi: source .bashrc, or close and re-open the terminal.
[01:22] <rww> sorry, source ~/.bashrc
[01:22] <LuckySMack> you can also just type 'bash'
[01:22] <Crayboff2> I'm afraid i completely broke my computer, I'm installing ubuntu 10.10 from the live CD, it got to the "Who are you?" phase, the loading bar was going and everything was fine. There is 1/5 left of the loading bar and it's not loading anymore.
[01:22] <LuckySMack> to reload the rc file
[01:23] <Scunizi> LuckySMack: that I know just starts another job for bash.. at least that's what I've been told in the past
[01:23] <pac1> LuckySMack, the lvm stuff probably won't help.  Where is linux installed?
[01:23] <LuckySMack> Crayboff2: how long has it been?
[01:23] <Scunizi> up
[01:23] <Crayboff2> I pressed back and forward back to this page, but all it changed was the message above the "Waiting for you" or whatever it said and is now saying "Getting the time from the network time server..."
[01:23] <rww> LuckySMack: that doesn't reload the rc file in the current bash instance, it makes a new bash child process of the current one.
[01:23] <Crayboff2> Lucky: it's been like this for the past hour and a half
[01:23] <rww> so when you exit out of the new one, you go back to the current one...
[01:23] <pac1> LuckySMack, have you tried the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[01:23] <LuckySMack> linux is going to be installed on its own separate drive. in the image is says unallocated.
[01:24] <pac1> dinner call. later guys.
[01:24] <LuckySMack> rww: ah ok
[01:24] <crimsonmane> how do i do "chmod +x /path/to/file" for something on a different drive?
[01:24] <mycosys> LuckySMack just make sure u put grub on the same drive as windows or u will have to change boot device to go between them
[01:24] <Scunizi> rww: looks like .bash_aliases is 311 ie rw-r--r--
[01:25] <LuckySMack> well i installed windows first. and right now ubuntu is not installed yet. thats what im trying to do now.
[01:25] <LuckySMack> mycosys: yea i tried that first and when i rebooted it went right past grub apparently and loaded windows. windows is on a raid1 disk
[01:25] <crimsonmane> how do i do "chmod +x /path/to/file" for something on a different drive? private messages accepted. thanks in advance.
[01:26] <mycosys> could do it the other way - put grub on the normal disk and let it load windows, set that ununtu to boot
[01:27] <LuckySMack> mycosys: so just install grub to the base disk that ubuntu will be installed on? wouldnt that bypass windows entirely?
[01:27] <mycosys> not if it detects windows during the install
[01:28] <scarleo> crimsonmane: just enter path to the other disk
[01:28] <mycosys> grub will load windows
[01:28] <LuckySMack> and wouldnt that make it where on boot i have to go to the boot order and chose the drive to boot to?
[01:28] <mycosys> yes
[01:28] <crimsonmane> scarleo:  i don't understand.
[01:28] <heisenberg> hi! i have an intel mac and i want to install ubuntu on my external drive. i've read around and didnt find any final solution. can anyone help me?
[01:28] <mycosys> easier to use grub to choose imo
[01:28] <LuckySMack> mycosys: i thought to do that i had to install grub alongside windows MBR
[01:28] <mycosys> no
[01:29] <scarleo> crimsonmane: is it internal hd?
[01:29] <crimsonmane> yes
[01:29] <Craybot2> LuckySMack: Sorry my internet died
[01:29] <mycosys> grub happily loads windows
[01:29] <crimsonmane> 2 drives, both internal. one has windows (and my games) the other is linux
[01:29] <Craybot2> LuckySMack: so any ideas of what to do?
[01:29] <mycosys> whether grub is on its own partition or in mbr
[01:30] <BlueSherpa> is there a way to install the latest version of ruby on ubuntu?  it defaulted to 1.8.7
[01:30] <scarleo> crimsonmane: ok, so it's probably /dev/sdb1 if this is your second disk. You can du sudo fdisk -l to see the disks
[01:30] <crimsonmane> what is the command to back up a directory?
[01:30] <scarleo> crimsonmane: or wherever you have mounted the disk
[01:30] <crimsonmane> i mean go backwards one directory
[01:30] <LuckySMack> ok so, normally when i do this (before i used a raid) i installed grub to the MBR and it all worked. so (to make sure) now that i have a raid i can just install grub in the same drive im installing ubuntu to, it will still see i have windows. so i change the boot drive to the ubuntu drive and ill have the grub menu with windows as another option.
[01:30] <someones1> how can i mount a degraded raid1 array when the remaining drive has lost its superblocks and my attempts to recreate it gives me an error that "/dev/sda1 is too small: 0k" ?
[01:31] <mycosys> BlueSherpa check launchpad
[01:31] <LuckySMack> ok, so wherever grub is, is just where i have to set the default boot drive to
[01:31] <BlueSherpa> mycosys: what's launchpad?
[01:31] <LuckySMack> Craybot2: ?
[01:31] <mycosys> !launchpad |BlueSherpa
[01:31] <battlehands> Do I need OpenSSH to use SSH or can I use the "Connect to Server" option through Ubuntu?
[01:31] <BlueSherpa> thx =)
[01:32] <Craybot2> LuckySMack: the problem i've been having with this installation? it's been hanging at this stage and not continuing (it's already made the partition)
[01:32] <duongthaiha> battlehands: connect to server is good
[01:32] <scarleo> crimsonmane: if it's not mounted mount it and then just chmod +x /path/to/file
[01:32] <battlehands> duongthaiha, thanks
[01:32] <unresolved> is there a command 2 find out wat HDD drive i have ?
[01:32] <LuckySMack> Craybot2: oh, how long has it been stuck there?
[01:32] <Craybot2> LuckySMack: 1.5 hours, the Forward button is unclickable
[01:33] <Scunizi> When I right mouse click on Applications and "Edit Menu" adding a folder to "Office" I put a check mark next to it to activate but after closing and looking at the menu it's not there.. It's also been unckecked in "Edit Menu's".. Why's that?
[01:33] <LuckySMack> Craybot2: ok is anything else on the computer? are you dualbooting with windwos? or is it going to be ubuntu only?
[01:33] <Craybot2> i'm trying to dual boot with windows 7
[01:33] <Craybot2> i'm running it in the live cd right now
[01:34] <LuckySMack> ok. all on same drive (partitions)? ar eyou using raid drives?
[01:34] <mycosys> try a failsafe boot perhaps? craybot2
[01:34] <LuckySMack> or on separate drives?
[01:34] <Craybot2> Lucky: it's all on the same harddrive
[01:34] <unresolved> is there a command 2 find out wat HDD drive i have ?
[01:34] <Craybot2> i did the automatic partition
[01:34] <LuckySMack> yea i was going to say just cancel it and restart. and try another install option
[01:35] <paintchip> unresolved: What do you mean? What brand?
[01:35] <unresolved> yea ?
[01:35] <unresolved> if thats possible
[01:35] <unresolved> lol
[01:35] <Craybot2> Lucky: then how would i get rid of the partition already made? or i can't do that
[01:35] <LuckySMack>  Craybot2 the partition you did, was there a lot of data on it?
[01:35] <psusi> unresolved, system -> administration -> disk utility, or sudo hdparm -i from the command line
[01:35] <Craybot2> Lucky: i have a lot of data on my windows partition, well like 60GB
[01:35] <Craybot2> or so
[01:36] <Craybot2> but this ubuntu partition is new
[01:36] <crimsonmane> how do i navigate inside Terminal to a second internal harddisk?
[01:36] <Craybot2> literally just made
[01:36] <LuckySMack> was it stuck in the partition setup? cause im thinking it may still just be moving files so it has room to make the partitions
[01:36] <Craybot2> no it passed the partition setup
[01:36] <psusi> crimsonmane, cd to whatever directory you have it mounted in
[01:36] <LuckySMack> ok.
[01:36] <scarleo> crimsonmane: is it mounted?
[01:36] <crimsonmane> psusi:  i do not understand!
[01:36] <crimsonmane> yes its mounted
[01:36] <Craybot2> in the most recent setup, you decide on your partition, then it's doing some stuff as you fill in user name info etc
[01:36] <unresolved> ty
[01:36] <scarleo> crimsonmane: did you do sudo fdisk -l?
[01:37] <Craybot2> i filled in my username info but can't press Forward, and the loading bar in the bottom of the window is 4/5 done
[01:37] <psusi> crimsonmane, type df to see information on volumes that are mounted and where... if it auto mounted, it should be somewhere under /media
[01:37] <crimsonmane> scarleo:  i can browse the disk in the WindowBrowser. i need to navigate to it in Terminal
[01:37] <paintchip> Iam blanking on any command
[01:38] <BigMac> is it possibly to use a finder bookmarks file taken from a windows system and use it in ubuntu?
[01:38] <paintchip> I have always just popped off the panel to the HHD compartment and looked
[01:38] <LuckySMack> Craybot2: ok so. you have one single drive. which had a lot of data already. you let ubuntu make the partition and now its taking a while. even though its moved on. i think its moving data on the HDD
[01:38] <crimsonmane> ok i did "df"... looks like it says "/media/win64" ... how do i get to it?
[01:38] <paintchip> desktop or laptop?
[01:38] <psusi> crimsonmane, cd /media/win64
[01:38] <scarleo> crimsonmane: cd /media/win64
[01:39] <crimsonmane> "no such file or directory"
[01:39] <Craybot2> Lucky: ok possible, so what should I do? the text that was above the loading bar said "Ready when you are..." or something like that
[01:39] <psusi> crimsonmane, then you typed it wrong.. it's case sensitive.  win64 is not the same as WIN64
[01:39] <crimsonmane> psusi: thanks. i had forgotten!
[01:39] <LuckySMack> ok. well it might not be. try using the gui to unmount the drive
[01:40] <crimsonmane> what does "df" stand for?
[01:40] <Craybot2> which drive, Lucky?
[01:40] <rww> Disk Free
[01:40] <LuckySMack> the one youre trying to install to
[01:40] <crimsonmane> i didn't exactly see my primary (ubuntu) drive when i did "df"... why ?
[01:41] <Craybot2> there are two drives listed under Computer, LuckySMack, "640 GB Hard Disk: OS" and "File System"
[01:41] <psusi> crimsonmane, you should... it should be just /
[01:41] <sy_> crimsonmane, df -h ?
[01:41] <jasonmchristos> How do i reactivate a launchpad account because i want to create a ppa and my account is deactivated.
[01:41] <LuckySMack> Craybot2: the 640. 'Filesystem' is the live cd's drive
[01:41] <Koala_> i need some troubleshooting with running ubuntu on my dell
[01:41] <silentz0r> Hey, I have this weird bug in ubuntu, every now and then the theme is switched when I reboot (it switches to the grey gnome one)
[01:42] <crimsonmane> psusi: sy_: i don't understand
[01:42] <Koala_> for some reason the gui never boots, it just goes to a blank screen
[01:42] <Craybot2> LuckySMack: it only gives me the option to mount it
[01:42] <psusi> crimsonmane, it is the root filesystem, mounted at just /, with nothing after it
[01:42] <crimsonmane> psusi: so it's "/dev/sdb1" ?
[01:42] <psusi> crimsonmane, if that's the device mounted at /, then yes
[01:43] <crimsonmane> that's just what it says on the left
[01:43] <crimsonmane> on the right is "/"
[01:43] <psusi> then yes
[01:43] <crimsonmane> but the "/" is in the same location as "/media/Win64"
[01:43] <steev> Is there a way to disable the "fade in" when you change the wallpaper?
[01:43] <LuckySMack> Craybot2: ok. best i can think of then is to try and hit cancel. if it lets you. it wont break windows. and re-installing will autorecognize your windows partition when setting up grub
[01:43] <crimsonmane> ls
[01:43] <crimsonmane> sorry mistype. meant for terminal
[01:44] <Craybot2> Lucky: what about the partition that was already made?
[01:44] <Koala_> nothin?
[01:44] <Aikar> how can i make crontab not die with "grandchild failed with exit status 1" ? im running a script that is expecitly checking for status 1... (grep).. how can i fix it?
[01:44] <Craybot2> and would this thing be helpful to? "Mar  4 01:42:15 ubuntu kernel: [ 9712.313065] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP power or thermal limit exceeded"
[01:44] <LuckySMack> Craybot2: when you try again it will still be there. you can tell ubuntu to use that partition to install to
[01:44] <Craybot2> LuckySMack: ok, but there is no cancel button
[01:45] <Koala_> startx leads to blank screen, gui never loads, any advice? anyone? bueller?
[01:45] <LuckySMack> try closing the window?
[01:45] <Craybot2> Lucky: no close button
[01:45] <silentz0r> Koala_: xinitrc ?
[01:45] <LuckySMack> hrmm.
[01:45] <Craybot2> i could force shut down my computer, Lucky, but i'm always nervous about doing that
[01:45] <LuckySMack> can you go back?
[01:46] <crimsonmane> "allow executing file as program" ... online says type in terminal "chmod +x <file>"
[01:46] <crimsonmane> it didnt work
[01:46] <Koala_> im pretty new to linux, i assume you mean run that as sudo?
[01:46] <Craybot2> Lucky: i can go back to the place where I choose where the timezone, but that is it
[01:46] <Craybot2> then i can go forward back to the screen i'm at
[01:47] <LuckySMack> you could try
[01:47] <crimsonmane> i need to make a file executable. how do i do that? online it tells me to type "chmod +x /path/to/file" but it didnt work
[01:47] <silentz0r> Koala_: Try running sudo gdm instead
[01:47] <Craybot2> Lucky: i'm looking at that mini terminal output thing above the loading bar
[01:47] <Koala_> it gave me a warning
[01:48] <Craybot2> "Mar  4 01:47:03 ubuntu ubiquity: boots. If you want to update it now, run 'setupcon' from a virtual console."
[01:48] <Koala_> that i wasnt quick enough to catch
[01:48] <Craybot2> would that be helpful
[01:48] <Craybot2> ?
[01:48] <Koala_> unable to...
[01:48] <Starminn> crimsonmane: Right-click the file, hit "properties", go to "Permissions" and check the "Make file executable" box
[01:48] <psusi> crimsonmane, "didn't work" is not an error description
[01:48] <silentz0r> Koala_: did it start though?
[01:48] <Koala_> ill try again
[01:48] <Koala_> nope
[01:48] <crimsonmane> Starminn: negative. the checkmark instantly goes away
[01:48] <Koala_> same blank screen
[01:48] <silentz0r> okay,
[01:48] <silentz0r> do you have proprietary drivers or open source drivers?
[01:48] <scarleo> crimsonmane: what was the output of chmod +x?
[01:48] <crimsonmane> there isnt any output
[01:48] <Koala_> probably proprietary
[01:49] <Koala_> i was running windows 7
[01:49] <scarleo> crimsonmane: so ... then it worked
[01:49] <crimsonmane> no it didnt. i cannot run the file
[01:49] <Koala_> and i ran the alternate installation cd
[01:49] <silentz0r> if you don't know then you have opensource drivers
[01:49] <LuckySMack> Craybot2: is there any kind of skip button?
[01:49] <psusi> crimsonmane, if the file is on a windows ( ntfs ) partition, then you can't set permissions
[01:49] <silentz0r> you need to manually set the proprietary drivers
[01:49] <silentz0r> install*
[01:49] <Craybot2> Lucky: there is, but it's faded out
[01:49] <Craybot2> can't click it
[01:49] <crimsonmane> psusi: i most certainly can. someone in here helped me do it before
[01:49] <Koala_> alright
[01:49] <silentz0r> on the command line try the following: sudo nano ~/.xinitrc
[01:50] <silentz0r> and tell me if there's anything in that file
[01:50] <Koala_> unable to load etc/gdm/custom/conf
[01:50] <Koala_> was the warning
[01:50] <Koala_> vtw
[01:50] <Koala_> *btw
[01:50] <Craybot2> LuckySMack: would you suggest I just shut down my computer?
[01:51] <silentz0r> Koala_: anything in that file?
[01:51] <silentz0r> if not, just hit ctrl+x
[01:51] <silentz0r> to close it
[01:51] <LuckySMack> to be honest you might need to. when you try again. use the already made partition to install to.
[01:51] <Koala_> well i was only able to read the warning after hitting the power button
[01:52] <Koala_> that causes the screen to return to the text based screen with a message that its about to HALT
[01:52] <silentz0r> so you've installed ubuntu through windows then?
[01:52] <Koala_> yeah
[01:52] <Craybot2> alright, Lucky, wish me luck!
[01:52] <Craybot2> i'll be back soon, i'm sure
[01:52] <Koala_> i was attempting to create a partition
[01:52] <silentz0r> and did you ever have any GUI
[01:52] <scarleo> crimsonmane: did you try run it with wine?
[01:52] <LuckySMack> GL
[01:52] <silentz0r> on ubuntu
[01:53] <Koala_> i assumed that downloading ubuntu would download the GUI
[01:53] <onecircles> Hello!
[01:53] <Koala_> is that not the case?
[01:53] <silentz0r> yes of course it has, but have you seen any?
[01:53] <Koala_> no
[01:53] <silentz0r> have you seen anything graphical while installing ubuntu
[01:53] <Koala_> no i used the alternate instal cd
[01:53] <silentz0r> try running the liveCD instead of choosing to install ubuntu
[01:54] <Jayro> anyone here know how to change the sample rate of an mp3 file without altering the sound?
[01:54] <mpn> Is there any document about how to make a nfs cluster with ubuntu ? any recomendation or best practices?
[01:54] <silentz0r> and see if you get any graphics
[01:54] <onecircles> II'm having a problem using a game pad, if anyones willing to lend an ear.
[01:54] <silentz0r> i'll brb
[01:54] <Koala_> the livecd?
[01:54] <th0r> Jayro: sox?
[01:54] <Koala_> if that is the default instal cd
[01:54] <silentz0r> on ubuntu
[01:54] <Koala_> then i need different help
[01:54] <silentz0r> you can choose to run ubuntu on your machine
[01:54] <silentz0r> instead of installing it
[01:55] <silentz0r> to see how it works
[01:55] <silentz0r> try to find such an option and choose it
[01:55] <Koala_> ok
[01:55] <Koala_> thanks
[01:55] <silentz0r> when you double click the ubuntu.iso or cd that you have
[01:55] <silentz0r> and you can choose to install ubuntu while it is running afterwards
[01:55] <Koala_> alright
[01:55] <onecircles> II'm having a problem using a game pad, if anyones willing to lend an ear.
[01:55] <silentz0r> if you don't get any graphics after doing that, your graphics card is probably not supported
[01:55] <ascheel> Is there a way to see if a particular module was compiled into the kernel?
[01:55] <silentz0r> (maybe shitty manufacturer?)
[01:56] <Koala_> really?
[01:56] <silentz0r> ascheel: modprobe?
[01:56] <ascheel> silenz0r Thank you!
[01:56] <silentz0r> asceel: careful though
[01:56] <silentz0r> asceel: modprobe module will load the module
[01:56] <mpn> any new about ubuntu clustering ?
[01:56] <gimpy1937> Trying to get a PS3 BD remote to work on Ubuntu 10.10 x64, the bluetooth add thing find it then says it fails to set it up, no errors, nothing, just "FAILED".
[01:56] <silentz0r> modprobe -r module will unload it
[01:57] <th0r> silentz0r: or rmmod?
[01:57] <ascheel> silentz0r: I just want to know which ones are compiled into the kernel, that's all
[01:57] <ascheel> -l should do that
[01:57] <arrrghhh> hey all, i have a set of keys setup for putty/windows.  i've exported it, but i can't seem to get it working under linux.  can anyone help me?
[01:58] <silentz0r> ascheel: don't really remember, but just read the manual of modprobe
[01:58] <ascheel> arrrghhh, go to #openssh and read the /topic about ssh keys
[01:58] <ascheel> Thanks again, silentz0r
[01:58] <silentz0r> Koala_: I had trouble on my old laptop, the gpu chip was not supporting linux
[01:58] <silentz0r> np
[01:58] <arrrghhh> ascheel: i've tried, i think i'm just doing something wrong.
[01:58] <ascheel> arrrghhh: you are, but again check #openssh
[01:58] <onecircles> I'm having a problem using a game pad, if anyones willing to lend an ear.
[01:58] <arrrghhh> ascheel: ...ok
[01:59] <Koala_> if so
[01:59] <Koala_> what should i do to remedy that
[01:59] <silentz0r> arrrghhh: putty is the equivalent of ssh (actually scp) on windows. You're better of using scp (google it)
[01:59] <Crayboff> lucky
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: there is winscp for scp under windows
[01:59] <arrrghhh> silentz0r: i know how scp works.  i need to migrate my keys.
[01:59] <silentz0r> Koala_: I just waited for the laptop to break and then got a new one
[01:59] <Crayboff> (it's me craybot2)
[01:59] <arrrghhh> ActionParsnip: not looking to use windows, thanks.
[02:00] <Crayboff> damn he pinged out
[02:00] <silentz0r> Koala_: Unfortunatelly though I couldn't even see the command line on it, just no graphics at all. It might be that your screen is not recognised and I think that is fixable.
[02:01] <Koala_> ok
[02:01] <Koala_> so im back in windows and the install disc is in
[02:01] <silentz0r> Hit "Try ubuntu" or something like that
[02:01] <Koala_> it doesnt give me an option
[02:02] <silentz0r> what options do you have
[02:02] <Koala_> windows displays autoplay features as if it were an audio cd
[02:02] <th0r> Koala_: leave the cd in the drive and reboot the machine
[02:02] <mickster04> Koala_: you have to boot off the disk to get that option
[02:02] <silentz0r> I think
[02:02] <silentz0r> he wants to install ubuntu inside windows
[02:02] <silentz0r> using wubi
[02:02] <silentz0r> not on a separate partition
[02:02] <Crayboff> ok guys i need help with manually specifying partitions for the install. i already created when i went through the usual Install alongside other operating system
[02:02] <Koala_> see ive tried that
[02:02] <Koala_> but the iso never finishes writing
[02:02] <Koala_> i get a permission denied error
[02:02] <Crayboff> i unfortunately have no clue what i'm doing
[02:03] <Koala_> which is why im installing using the alternate install cd to begin with
[02:03] <Crayboff> hey lucky! it's me craybot2
[02:03] <Luckysmack> ok that didnt work
[02:03] <gimpy1937> Crayboff: So you are installing right now and you watch to set up paritions?
[02:03] <Luckysmack> hey
[02:03] <silentz0r> Koala_: Maybe windows is f'd up? :)
[02:03] <Koala_> should i try booting from the disc again?
[02:04] <Crayboff> gimpy i already created one partition (unless the auto made multiple)
[02:04] <Luckysmack> So i installed grub to the partition i installed ubuntu to, and it didnt pick up windows. I tried booting directly from that disk and nothing ever loads. when booting to my windows disk it loads normally wit hno grub.
[02:04] <Koala_> i dont really know what my next move is
[02:04] <silentz0r> Koala_: what are you trying to achieve? Installing ubuntu inside windows (slower) or dual booting?
[02:04] <Koala_> i wanted to dual boot
[02:04] <Koala_> i created a partition
[02:04] <Koala_> and installed it
[02:04] <Koala_> using the alternate disc
[02:04] <FloodBot3> Koala_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:04] <axilla> first time ubuntu user.. is there a way to set hotkeys in Ubuntu for applications?
[02:05] <gimpy1937> Crayboff: Nope, the only creates one big one for your root mount (that is /), are you saying you want to change it after the install so that /home or whatever is seperate?
[02:05] <axilla> like i want to set CTRL+T to Terminal.
[02:05] <Crayboff> lucky: how do i select the partition it made the first time i do this
[02:05] <Koala_> and GRUB works fine. it just refuses to do anything after i log in
[02:05] <silentz0r> Koala_: I still don't get what you mean by alternative cd. There's just one ubuntu installer
[02:06] <silentz0r> Koala_: Just different editions (server-netbook etc.)
[02:06] <Crayboff> gimpy: here's what happened. i went through the normal auto partitioner, but the installation hung up. so i restarted my computer and i want to install on the partitions that where already made
[02:06] <gimpy1937> silentz0r: There is a desktop, server, and alternate CD....
[02:06] <Koala_> alternate is a text based install but it should include a GUI
[02:06] <Koala_> only the install should be text based
[02:07] <acetoline> hi guys, I know this is an extremely stupid question, but I installed maverick and now whenever I want to execute something from the command line it says 'no such file or directory'
[02:07] <Starminn> acetoline: The file or directory doesn't exist.
[02:07] <goldeneye> hello, I installed ubuntu 10.10 but when i connect to my external monitor, the display shows up fine - but as soon as i start typing something on keyboard, the first key stroke just makes the screen to flicker and switches back to laptop. Any idea what is going on? thanks.
[02:07] <gimpy1937> Crayboff: Alirght, when going through the install, tell it you want to do custom parititions. Where are you having trouble, I'm not getting what you are stuck on.
[02:07] <acetoline> Starminn, it does
[02:07] <silentz0r> Koala_: And why did you choose that over the original desktop edition?
[02:07] <acetoline> I'm %100 sure, because chmod +x <filename> works
[02:08] <Crayboff> i'm at the custom partition page and i dont want to break it
[02:08] <Crayboff> goddammit he quit :(
[02:08] <Koala_> because the iso refused to write
[02:08] <[segfault]> acetoline: if the file you are trying to run is in the same directory and executable, make sure you put ./ before it
[02:08] <acetoline> [segfault], yes I know
[02:09] <[segfault]> acetoline: ok, so any command does that?  if so, check your path.
[02:09] <Crayboff> can some one please help me navigate this custom partition page in the installer?
[02:09] <Koala_> it would make it through the burn and then the verification would fail
[02:09] <acetoline> I have an executable called NetAccountS, and I cd into it's directory and do ./NetAccountS and it says 'bash: ./NetAccountS: No such file or directory'
[02:09] <acetoline> which is a blatant lie
[02:10] <acetoline> also, $sh ./NetAccountS doesn't work either
[02:10] <Starminn> Crayboff: What are you trying to do?
[02:10] <acetoline> nobody has heard of this error before?
[02:11] <sougata> acetoline, please paste a ls -l of that directory
[02:11] <Crayboff> starminn: ok so i tried using the auto partitioner, but installation stopped part the way through and wouldnt let me keep going. so i restarted the computer and i want to install it on the partition that was already made
[02:11] <silentz0r> Koala_: Tried re-downloading?
[02:11] <Crayboff> i dont want to mess somethingvital up
[02:11] <silentz0r> the .iso may have been corrupted after you downloaded it or timed out or god knows what
[02:11] <acetoline> [segfault], trust me, that file is there ($chmod +x NetAccountS works)
[02:12] <Lord_Magus> good evening
[02:12] <Koala_> i tried several times and it never worked
[02:12] <acetoline> [segfault], I'm typing from my laptop right now so I can't post a ls -l
[02:12] <Starminn> Crayboff: Alright, so what does the custom partitioner show? (Also to be noted, are you dual-booting? If so, I wound up having ot defrag and CHKDSK Windows before it let me install Ubuntu)
[02:12] <[segfault]> acetoline: yes, i believe you.  I think sougata was just wanting us to see everything for ourselves
[02:13] <goldeneye> hello, I installed ubuntu 10.10 but when i connect to my external monitor, the display shows up fine - but as soon as i start typing something on keyboard, the first key stroke just makes the screen to flicker and switches back to laptop. Any idea what is going on? thanks.
[02:13] <acetoline> could this possibly be an issue with my ~/.bashrc
[02:14] <Lord_Magus> anyone could help me with a screen resolution? ubuntu doesn't show the real resolution for my monitor. 1280x1024. I've tried to modify x.conf but it doesn't work. I have a Nvidia 9600gt video card
[02:14] <axilla> wow
[02:14] <[segfault]> acetoline: do you have any problems executing other files in your home directory?
[02:14] <Crayboff> star: i'm dualbooting, now there are: /dev/sda1 (fat32), /dev/sda2/(ntfs), /dev/sda5(ext4), /dev/sda6(swap)
[02:15] <Koala_> can you perhaps solve the "permission denied" error I get when downloading the traditional way
[02:15] <axilla> My first day living in Ubuntu and I <3 it so far :)  Always used linux @ the CLi level and I've grown less and less dependent on windows as I mostly work in Ruby now days and decided to take the plunge
[02:15] <axilla> super happy :)
[02:15] <guyschaos> Koala_: chmod ?\fs21
[02:15] <acetoline> [segfault], yes, but when I copy stuff from /usr/bin into the home directory and then do ./blabla it executes fine
[02:16] <Lord_Magus> anyone could help me with a screen resolution? ubuntu doesn't show the real resolution for my monitor. 1280x1024. I've tried to modify x.conf but it doesn't work. I have a Nvidia 9600gt video card
[02:16] <acetoline> [segfault],  could this possibly be some sort of security issue?
[02:16] <acetoline> if so, why does it happen on a fresh install
[02:17] <goldeneye> can anyone help here?
[02:17] <ber> ineed help whith dis https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:17] <[segfault]> acetoline: I don't know enough to say on that.  Just for kicks, what do you get when you execute the file with a parameter like --help or --version?
[02:18] <ber> icant install my viedocard .. y lose startx
[02:18] <acetoline> [segfault], same.
[02:18] <Starminn> Crayboff: Okay, so you want to click on the ext4 and set the "mount point" as "/" (root)
[02:18] <[segfault]> acetoline: ok, just going out on a limb there, sorry :(
[02:18] <acetoline> no problem
[02:18] <covenant> goldeneye: you would prolly have to ask a different question
[02:18] <acetoline> any and all help would be appreciated
[02:18] <Lord_Magus> anyone could help me with a screen resolution? ubuntu doesn't show the real resolution for my monitor. 1280x1024. I've tried to modify x.conf but it doesn't work. I have a Nvidia 9600gt video card
[02:19] <goldeneye> covenant : meaning?
[02:19] <ber> soryy my inglish is bad :S but in ubuntu-es i dont find the solution
[02:20] <goldeneye> covenant : the problem is that i can see the display well on the external monitor as soon as i switch. but first keystroke on my keyboard, causes a weird flicker and the display switches back to laptop...
[02:20] <dfdf> how block ports on ubuntu
[02:20] <Crayboff> star: do i want to format the partition?
[02:20] <[thor]> Lord_Magus: you have installed nvidia drivers, and used the Settings > Administrator > NVIDIA X-Server Settings ?
[02:21] <Lord_Magus> thor: yes i did
[02:21] <covenant> Is that with a keyboard/monitor hardware switch?
[02:21] <scarleo> acetoline: did you try with sudo? Also what kind of file is this?
[02:21] <Bogus8_> Ummm... is mdadm broken?
[02:21] <Koala_> guyschaos: im still confused
[02:21] <Bogus8_> this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReliableRaid  says that it has some serious problems if I'm reading it correctly... 4 says that the notification system isn't working?!?!
[02:21] <acetoline> scarleo, yes, $sudo ./NetAccountS gives: sudo: ./NetAccountS: command not found
[02:21] <Crayboff> starminn: also what do i select for bootloader? the same partition or the big one /dev/sda?
[02:22] <Starminn> Crayboff: IT's already formatted as ext4 which is *perfect*. All you've got to do now is set the mount point as "/" (a slash)
[02:22] <scarleo> acetoline: and I suppose you are in the same directory as the file?
[02:22] <Lord_Magus> [thor], the maximum resolution detected was 1360x768
[02:22] <ber> any one?
[02:22] <Starminn> Crayboff: Whatever the default is should be fine.
[02:22] <acetoline> scarleo, absolutely
[02:22] <acetoline> scarleo, the exact same file worked in karmic
[02:22] <scarleo> acetoline: what kind of file is it?
[02:22] <Crayboff> star anything else before i click install now?
[02:22] <acetoline> 32-bit elf
[02:23] <acetoline> it worked fine in 64-bit karmic, now I installed 64-bit maverick and it's borked
[02:24] <xfgghjlsine> evening
[02:24] <BigMac> is it possibly to use a firefox bookmarks file taken from a windows system and use it in ubuntu?
[02:24] <Crayboff> alright imma press install now, wish me luck!
[02:24] <nano_> anybody here familiar with x11perf?
[02:24] <Starminn> Crayboff: Just double-check everything. Your ext4 partition should have a mount point of "/", the size of the partitions are measured in MB, and your swap should of course be mount point os "swap area"
[02:24] <Lord_Magus> [thor], i don't know what's going on. i tried to use xrandr but it didn't work
[02:24] <Starminn> Crayboff: Alright
[02:24] <Lord_Magus> [thor],  xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
[02:24] <Lord_Magus> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
[02:24] <Lord_Magus> default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
[02:25] <[thor]> Lord_Magus: i'm not certain either.
[02:25] <mickster04> acetoline: borked is pretty generic, did you install from scratch?
[02:25] <Crayboff> star what about swap? i didnt press it yet
[02:25] <ber> please help me :(
[02:25] <acetoline> mickster04, yup, new partition and everything
[02:25] <mickster04> !anyone | nano_
[02:25] <Lord_Magus> [thor], i used to be easier before
[02:25] <Starminn> BigMac: Yes it is. Something like this? http://ubuntuguide.net/share-firefox-bookmarkshistorytabs-between-ubuntuwindows-7vistaxp
[02:25] <Lord_Magus> [thor], :(
[02:25] <mickster04> !details | ber
[02:25] <mickster04> acetoline: and what is wrong?
[02:25] <xfgghjlsine> small problem here... i have used screen ctrl a ctrl d on a runing procces without labeling it. i reconect via ssh and well ofcourse i can not get that window back up
[02:26] <BigMac> Starminn: thanks
[02:26] <[segfault]> acetoline: do you have ia32-libs package installed?  I don't know if it applied, but read of a similar prob with someone elses 64-bit install
[02:26] <xfgghjlsine> what do i do :(
[02:26] <Crayboff> star ah it is set to swap area
[02:26] <nano_> is there a specific file that is outputted from x11perf or does the output from this command need to get redirected to a txt file for later usage?
[02:26] <Crayboff> alright imma press it for real this time
[02:26] <ber> ok i have problems when i try install radeon hd 4200 ubuntu 10.10 i lose the xstartx
[02:26] <ber> only console
[02:27] <acetoline> [segfault], no, but I just found something interesting
[02:27] <ber> i try this but dont work for me  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:27] <[thor]> xfgghjlsine: CTRL-A "
[02:27] <acetoline> if I do cp NetAccountS nas, it works
[02:27] <Starminn> Crayboff: You said you had /dev/sda6(swap). So, remember how you set your ext4 to mount point of "/"?  Just do the same thing for your swap but say "use as: swap area".
[02:27] <acetoline> and I get a new file 'nas'
[02:27] <[thor]> xfgghjlsine: " is list windows
[02:27] <acetoline> but then when I do ./nas , same error as before
[02:27] <xfgghjlsine> yes i do not have any in this list
[02:27] <Starminn> Crayboff: Alright.
[02:27] <Crayboff> star: ya i made sure that was set
[02:28] <acetoline> also, $type nas    gives 'file not found'
[02:28] <xfgghjlsine> but the server i was runing is still going so wth
[02:28] <xfgghjlsine> i think it has bg some how
[02:28] <xfgghjlsine> but i need to see its output as its a live one
[02:28] <Lord_Magus> anyone using NVIDIA CARDS?
[02:28] <mickster04> ber try command > text.txt ?
[02:29] <[thor]> xfgghjlsine: ctrl-a n
[02:29] <[thor]> xfgghjlsine: for "n"ext window?
[02:29] <Crayboff> star: so i'm at the place where it broke before, i input my info such as comp name and pass. it says it is still copying files and it wont let me press "Forward"
[02:29] <xfgghjlsine> no not working either
[02:29] <ber> comand not found
[02:29] <xfgghjlsine> i messed up bad now i think
[02:29] <xfgghjlsine> ...
[02:30] <kb0odu> Lord_Magus: I am.  And I'm using the NVidia Driver
[02:31] <mickster04> ber: not literally command but whatever command you are running in command line?
[02:31] <Starminn> Crayboff:  Username has to be in lower-case.
[02:31] <Crayboff> oooooooooooooooh
[02:32] <Crayboff> this is where i had the problem before
[02:32] <Crayboff> gah you are a scholar among gentlemen
[02:32] <Starminn> Crayboff: I agree. I pissed me off that it wouldn't allow upper-case, but that's not too bad. IT's REALLY bad that they don't inform you of that. That really irks me.
[02:32] <ber> no i restore startx
[02:32] <Starminn> Crayboff: :) I try.
[02:32] <Starminn> Crayboff: First-time Linux user or what?
[02:32] <ber> sorry my inglish un poor
[02:33] <Lord_Magus> kb0odu, do you know how to fix this: nvidia doesn't find the right resolution for my monitor: 1280x1024. i've tried to edit manually the x.conf but it didn't work
[02:33] <acetoline> [segfault], I'm installing ia32-libs now, fingers crossed
[02:33] <Crayboff> starminn: nahhh i just havent had to deal with setup for a couple years :( i'm more of a casual user
[02:33] <Crayboff> that's embarrassing
[02:33] <goldeneye> d'oh no ones respondin
[02:33] <kb0odu> Lord_Magus: Are you using the proprietary driver or the standard one?
[02:33] <xfgghjlsine> any one else know wth i have done ?
[02:33] <scottamunga> hey
[02:33] <Starminn> Crayboff: Fair enough, fair enough. Alright, well if you h ave any more questions, just hop on back and me or somebody else will certainly see what we can do to help. ;)
[02:34] <Lord_Magus> kb0odu, i'm used the drivers provided by ubuntu (restricted drivers)
[02:34] <Crayboff> thanks man
[02:34] <CoachJ> I am getting wide vertical lines on two different monitors (same machine) anyone have any idea what might cause that?
[02:34] <kb0odu> NVidaia Proprietary.  Ok.
[02:34] <ber> ok tkns .. see ya
[02:34] <scottamunga> Question about Kubuntu - network manager won't let me connect to my ATT wireless.  It says it's connecting, but it doesn't finish connecting.
[02:35] <kb0odu> Lord_Magus: Did you use the "NVidia X Server Settings" under System to configure it?
[02:35] <Starminn> scottamunga: Kubuntu support in #kubuntu
[02:35] <Koala_> ok guys im back
[02:35] <Jgilk1> im running in to issues with ubuntu completly locking up after running for about an hour is there any way to fix this?
[02:35] <Koala_> and ive got wubi to work
[02:35] <scottamunga> ok
[02:35] <scottamunga> thanks
[02:35] <Koala_> now im curious about removing the install and partition that i attempted with the alternate install disk
[02:36] <sougata> scottamunga, did you try connecting from the command prompt
[02:36] <scottamunga> sougata
[02:36] <Lord_Magus> kb0odu, i've tried to. i've set first to auto. it didn't work, then i tried to find the correct resolution but the highest is 1360x768.
[02:36] <scottamunga> where can I find the commands to do that
[02:36] <scottamunga> ?
[02:36] <Lord_Magus> kb0odu, as i said b4 the correct res. is 1280x1024@60
[02:37] <sougata> scottamunga, man iwconfiig
[02:37] <sougata> iwconfig
[02:37] <scottamunga> ok
[02:37] <kb0odu> Lord_Magus: PM?
[02:37] <scottamunga> i'm in ubuntu right now, so I just switch over to kde and type that in?
[02:37] <Lord_Magus> kb0odu, what?
[02:38] <sougata> scottamunga, lets try that out in ubuntu
[02:38] <Koala_> Hello everybody. I initially installed with alternate install disk and the GUI wouldnt work. i reattempted the traditional wubi install and it worked. my question: how to remove the old partition and faulty install from earlier?
[02:38] <sougata> then you can just do the same there
[02:39] <nit-wit> Koala_, can you post a screen shot of a partitiner gparted or a windopws one, paste it.
[02:41] <xxx__> i am trying to run proxychains but i get this error: Can't locate proxychains.conf: Permission denied, but /etc/proxychains.conf exists
[02:41] <Koala_> well what happens now is i boot to GRUB and select windows as opposed to faulty installs. this then prompts me with windows or ubuntu. after selecting ubuntu i get no wubildr
[02:43] <nit-wit> Koala_, you have grub as the menu at boot and only have windows with a wubi correct?
[02:43] <nit-wit> Koala_, you have the miss-install as well in a partition
[02:44] <Koala_> missinstall is in the partition
[02:44] <Koala_> yes
[02:44] <nit-wit> Koala_, which windows is it we need to reinstall its bootloader.
[02:44] <Koala_> windows 7
[02:44] <linusasus6> !pastebin
[02:45] <nit-wit> Koala_, do you have a recovery disc?
[02:45] <Koala_> i believe its at home, while im at school currently. i may have to wait to recover until next week when i visit
[02:46] <Jasonn> ny good irc clients for Xubuntu?
[02:46] <nit-wit> Koala_, here is a download it can be burned or put on a thumb. http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
[02:46] <TheShaman> x-chat is pretty good for ubuntu
[02:46] <Jasonn> nit-wit you know this is a ubuntu help channe, right
[02:47] <Jasonn> TheShaman: I am looking for something that looks good too, or at least not TERRIBLE
[02:47] <linusasus6> Hi something wrong in this grub.cfg http://paste.ubuntu.com/575282/   , I got only Ubuntu, Debian on sdc and windows on sda
[02:47] <TheShaman> looks and functional is fine for me but whatever works for ya
[02:48] <Jasonn> TheShaman: Have you ever used Koversation? I am looking for something like that (its only for KDE)
[02:48] <TheShaman> anyone use cannon dslr to shoot video?  how good is it?  can you shoot for 30 min?
[02:48] <Koala_> thank you nitwit. do you know what could cause the NO WUBILDR that the wubi install is giving me?
[02:48] <nit-wit> jasonn; yes and I'm helping this user get the mbr correct to run ubuntu.
[02:48] <ChogyDan> linusasus6: did you just install debian?
[02:48] <TheShaman> no i gave up on the kde/gnome wars, i like blackbox better than all of this
[02:48] <Jasonn> nit-wit: ah - anyhow, you know of a good IRC client for ubuntu?
[02:48] <gratnam11> whats the default username and password
[02:48] <Jasonn> theshaman: what is blackbox?
[02:49] <linusasus6> no Ive update
[02:49] <Fluttershy> Jasonn: XChat for GUI, WeeChat or irssi otherwise
[02:49] <TheShaman> exactly.. or twm if you cant get blackbox
[02:49] <nit-wit> jasonn; this one I guess you can look through te list.
[02:49] <ChogyDan> linusasus6: it shows ubuntu, then windows vista, then windows 7, then fedora
[02:49] <[segfault]> Jasonn: Yes, xchat here also, though seamonkey has an irc client if you like all-in-one apps.
[02:49] <Jasonn> fluttershy: WeeChat is through terminal? I am looking for one with a good GUI - i dont like the look of xChat
[02:50] <Fluttershy> Jasonn: yes it is
[02:50] <nit-wit> Koala_, I'm not real familiar with wubi, what made you try a alternative install rather then a live cd.
[02:50] <TheShaman> blackbox is like twm but looks a bit better, but heck.. ii used DEC windows managers in bw so... i dont need it to look all nice
[02:50] <ChogyDan> Jasonn: try pidgin
[02:50] <Fluttershy> Pidgin's IRC is pretty bad
[02:50] <Jasonn> [segfault] i am looking for something windows-like
[02:50] <Koala_> live cd wouldnt burn
[02:50] <TheShaman> digital unix RuLeZ
[02:50] <linusasus6> ya windows vista is the reintaller partition, it mean if you choose this you reinstall windows 7
[02:50] <Fluttershy> though as are pretty much all IM clients' IRC
[02:50] <[segfault]> Jasonn: You can run mIRC under Wine, I suppose...
[02:50] <Jasonn> chogydan: works for IRC too?
[02:51] <ChogyDan> Jasonn: yep, it is what I use
[02:51] <TheShaman> whats wrong with x-chat? seems to work
[02:51] <Fluttershy> I can't really think of a better GUI client than XChat
[02:51] <Jasonn> [segfault] can i get a keygen to work under wine too?
[02:51] <nit-wit> Koala_, so right now if grub is the boot menu as soon as you remove that borked install nothnf will boot until you reload the MS bootloader.
[02:51] <[segfault]> Jasonn: probably, but that's another subject
[02:52] <Fluttershy> I wouldn't like relying on wine to run anything I intend on having running for extended periods of time
[02:52] <Jasonn> [segfault] have you used konversation?
[02:52] <xxx__> anyone know why im getting this error with proxychains if there is /etc/proxychains? error: Can't locate proxychains.conf: Permission denied
[02:52] <TheShaman> never had good results with wine myself
[02:52] <Fluttershy> Konversation looks pretty good but I dislike using KDE apps in gnome
[02:53] <[segfault]> Fluttershy: <---- good advice.   Jasonn: no, have not.
[02:53] <mrdebuntu> what is new in the new kernel update to lucid lynx?
[02:53] <Jasonn> TheShaman: i hate wine, i just use it to run a few progs, other than that, i have a laptop with windows 7
[02:53] <Jasonn> FlutterShy: but you CAN use KDE apps in gnome?
[02:53] <TheShaman> vmware player if you *have* to run windows apps
[02:53] <linusasus6> @ChogyDan ya windows vista is the reintaller partition, it mean if you choose this you reinstall windows 7 so what
[02:53] <Fluttershy> Jasonn: of course
[02:53] <TheShaman> vmware player is nice
[02:53] <Fluttershy> they just look/behave slightly different
[02:53] <ChogyDan> linusasus6: are you on ubuntu now?
[02:54] <linusasus6> @ChogyDan I'm on the livecd
[02:54] <Fluttershy> also you'd have to run KDE libs which uses more CPU resources
[02:54] <Jasonn> [segfault] do you know if i can run a proxy from my server>
[02:54] <ChogyDan> linusasus6: why?
[02:54] <TheShaman> whats the best music player for ubuntu? i dont really like theone it comes with
[02:54] <linusasus6> because ubuntu is not on the grub list at start
[02:54] <[segfault]> Jasonn: I don't use proxies much, sorry. perhaps someone else can help answer that.
[02:54] <Jasonn> One more thing, in xubuntu, do you know how i can put a shortcut to an application on my desktop?
[02:55] <ChogyDan> linusasus6: I think you should restate your problem with all the details
[02:55] <Jasonn> [segfault] thanks anyways :)
[02:55] <Corleone> hi, i was wondering if someone can help me with my problem?
[02:56] <crimsonmane> how do i get Linux to see my external harddrive?
[02:56] <[segfault]> Jasonn: Usually right click on the app in the menu and select "add this launcher to the desktop"
[02:56] <Fluttershy> TheShaman: Banshee is Rhythmbox +1, Quod Libet is clean and fast, Clementine is x-platform and forked from Amarok
[02:56] <Fluttershy> could try those
[02:56] <Jasonn> [segfault] nothing happens when i right-click
[02:56] <linusasus6> @ChogyDan ya 3 weeks ago I've upgrade debian then it have no more ubuntu in the grub menu list when I start my computer
[02:56] <[segfault]> Jasonn: nix that...I was thinking gnome, not x...
[02:56] <nano_> crimson plug it in and then open up a terminal and type dmesg | tail . what is the output?
[02:57] <Jasonn> ah
[02:57] <ChogyDan> linusasus6: what is listed?
[02:57] <mrdebuntu> what is the best and simple ipod manager
[02:57] <linusasus6> debian and windows
[02:57] <ChogyDan> linusasus6: maybe debian took over the bootloader
[02:57] <Fluttershy> mrdebuntu: gtkpod maybe?
[02:57] <Fluttershy> don't have an iPod so couldn't tell you for sure
[02:57] <mrdebuntu> Fluttershy: good call
[02:57] <crimsonmane> http://pastebin.com/mbLg0LTh
[02:58] <crimsonmane> nano
[02:58] <acetoline> [segfault], whew, I installed 16 dependencies, and finally ia32-libs
[02:58] <acetoline> now to test
[02:58] <acetoline> [segfault], IT WORKS
[02:58] <acetoline> [segfault], you are a genius
[02:58] <[segfault]> acetoline: nice job! :)
[02:58] <acetoline> ia32-libs solved
[02:58] <acetoline> it
[02:59] <linusasus6> @ChogyDan ya this is what it does but my grub is on the /boot partitions it mean is independant partition of ubuntu, debian and windows
[02:59] <[segfault]> acetoline: not me...google-fu!
[02:59] <acetoline> weird error though; shouldn't it give some error other than 'file not found?'
[02:59] <acetoline> ah well, I learned something new
[02:59] <gratnam11> hey guys
[02:59] <acetoline> [segfault], I have to log off now; thanks a billioin
[02:59] <crimsonmane> how do i get Linux to see my external harddrive?
[02:59] <gratnam11> i am trying to isntall ubuntu server
[02:59] <joako> Is there an issue to unlock root account by sudo su; passwd?
[03:00] <gratnam11> whats the default username and password
[03:00] <Corleone> u set it during install
[03:00] <xnccm> isn't china??
[03:00] <crimsonmane> how do i get Linux to see my external harddrive?
[03:00] <[segfault]> joako: yes, you just do 'sudo passwd root'
[03:01] <gratnam11> hm
[03:01] <gratnam11> wat the hell
[03:01] <mrdebuntu> ?
[03:01] <Corleone> hey, i installed ubuntu server 10.04, and i cant get it connect to my router using WEP, anyone know why?
[03:01] <crimsonmane> how do i get Linux to see my external harddrive?
[03:01] <axilla> mount it
[03:01] <ChogyDan> linusasus6: yeah, I dunno about the whole separate grub partition thing.  Soz.  I would check to make sure that grub is installed properly
[03:01] <mrdebuntu> crimsonmane: you plug it in
[03:02] <crimsonmane> mrdebuntu: i did
[03:02] <crimsonmane> it aint visible in the window
[03:02] <paintchip> crimsonmane: what kind of HDD? is it in /media?
[03:02] <rww> xnccm: #ubuntu-cn for Chinese.
[03:02] <crimsonmane> it's external. i just plugged it in a minute ago and flipped it on. trying to browse it
[03:03] <Corleone> hey, i installed ubuntu server 10.04, and i cant get it connect to my router using WEP, anyone know why?
[03:03] <paintchip> have you used it on any other machines and had it work?
[03:03] <Corleone> btw i can connect when the WEP is off
[03:03] <crimsonmane> paintchip: of course.
[03:04] <paintchip> aso did you buy it as an external or is it an IDE that you put into an external enclosure?
[03:04] <joako> Is there a decent CLI package manager I can install? Aptitude seems very convoluted to use
[03:04] <cbilljones> im having trouble starting vncviewer via ssh session, i can start from terminal with "ssh localhost:3"
[03:04] <paintchip> oh so it mounts and you can browse it, jou just want it to show up on your desktop?
[03:04] <cmanns> Hi ubuntu
[03:04] <crimsonmane> paintchip: no it doesnt mount
[03:04] <kb0odu> joako: Try dselect?
[03:04] <DrkCodeman> Corleone: do ifconfig on the computer
[03:04] <cbilljones> i mean "vncviewer localhost:3
[03:05] <DrkCodeman> Corleone see if it is getting an ip from your router
[03:05] <kb0odu> joako: sudo apt-get install dselect
[03:05] <paintchip> oh my bad
[03:05] <crimsonmane> correction i turned it off then back on and it worked.
[03:05] <cmanns> I've been trying to make a live-usb for 2 days (Downloaded ubuntu mini remix off vzw 3g installed via pendrive on windows) it has the /dev/sr0 issue. I can boot off the usb if I keep a ubuntu cd in the drive...
[03:05] <TheShaman> banshee is pretty nice
[03:05] <paintchip> ls /dev
[03:05] <cmanns> So then I burned 10.4 full, still didnt work off usb. usb creator doesnt show my drive on the live cd (On ubuntu live cd atm) what can I do?
[03:05] <linusasus6> @ChogyDan maybe is the UUID wrong
[03:06] <joako> kb0odu, dselect seems to make less sense
[03:06] <paintchip> i don't know it it wil show up as hdb or sdb but look for that
[03:06] <paintchip> if you have more than 1 drive it might be sdc
[03:06] <joako> Let's see what aptitude does... it says its uninstalling ubuntu-standard
[03:07] <cmanns> Would it help if i pastebin dmesg output from when i insert the usb drive?
[03:07] <skutr3> hi when i boot my pc and get to grub ubuntu is on there three times... it just started can anyone help?
[03:07] <paintchip> let me know that you find
[03:07] <TheShaman> for flash drive. i installed linux to the flash drive (like nomal) then boot from the flash card on netbook
[03:07] <TheShaman> that worked for me
[03:07] <cmanns> skutr3: try uh.... looking at grub menu.lst
[03:08] <cmanns> TheShaman: me?
[03:08] <xxx__> skutr3, it could be three different kernels
[03:08] <skutr3> cmanns: gedit or something
[03:08] <linusasus6> @skutr3> must be different version of linux
[03:08] <skutr3> xxx__: how?
[03:08] <ugliefrog> how do i have a seperate hard drive auto mount on startup I need it to stay mounted if that make sense
[03:08] <TheShaman> i wanted to run ubuntu on netbook with windows, so i installed linux on flash and booted from flash (its not LIVE, its real linux) i dont use it much but it did work
[03:08] <cmanns> skutr3: it lets you select different kernels when a new ones installed like most linux's.... so cat /boot/grub/menu.lst (I think for ubuntu)
[03:08] <xxx__> skutr3, through updating ubuntu may have old kernels saved
[03:09] <linusasus6> vmlinuz-2.6.35-24-generic ...
[03:09] <mrdebuntu> ugliefrog: /etc/fstab by uuid
[03:09] <axilla> just installed ubuntu, but I have no sound.
[03:09] <cmanns> http://pastebin.com/W1P1C4At < whats this output mean?
[03:09] <TheShaman> whats the best webcam for linux?
[03:09] <axilla> I'm using a plantronics USB adapter to some simple speakers.. worked before
[03:10] <mrdebuntu> TheShaman: logitech
[03:10] <ugliefrog> mrdebuntu, I dont know what fstab is :)....is there a simpler way
[03:10] <sougata> cbilljones,
[03:10] <mrdebuntu> ugliefrog: i only know fstab. it is a file that tells the system to mount
[03:10] <TheShaman> logitech really? personally i like the microsoft cams, logitech might have gotten better but they cost more?
[03:11] <skutr3> cmanns: cat: /boot/grub/menu.list: No such file or directory
[03:11] <mrdebuntu> i dont know if ms cams work. they may. check compatiblity. logitech has a good track record
[03:11] <Corleone> DrkCodeman: none
[03:11] <cmanns> skutr3: locate menu.lst
[03:11] <TheShaman> whats the cheapest stereo receiver thats small to power to 100W speakers from laptop?
[03:11] <cmanns> TheShaman: craiglist and look for a decent one around 50?
[03:12] <DrkCodeman> Corleone then you might have to add them to /etc/network/interface
[03:12] <axilla> nevermind, fixed.
[03:12] <TheShaman> yeah i thought about craigslist
[03:12] <overclucker> skutr3: try /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[03:12] <DrkCodeman> Corleone: err /etc/network/interfaces
[03:12] <ugliefrog> mrdebuntu, how do i access it
[03:12] <TheShaman> wanted something new?
[03:12] <mrdebuntu> ugliefrog: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[03:12] <TheShaman> anyone use a *insignia* amp? its pretty cheap? any good?
[03:12] <joako> TheShaman, Anything that says Windows Vista compatible should work. I have a Logitech something HD It's decent.
[03:12] <Corleone> DrkCodeman, do you mind if i pm u?
[03:13] <linux_probe> i once had a cheap insignia 6.1 all in one
[03:13] <mrdebuntu> be careful
[03:13] <linux_probe> worst thing i ever touched
[03:13] <TheShaman> was the insginia any good? did it die in a year?
[03:13] <linux_probe> it still works, but it's buggy as can be
[03:13] <cbilljones> sougata ?
[03:13] <linux_probe> dvd player issues, the coaxial digital input was junk
[03:13] <TheShaman> define buggy or a amp
[03:13] <linusasus6> look at this why theres like 2 grub in the same http://paste.ubuntu.com/575292/
[03:14] <TheShaman> ah ok. thx
[03:14] <skutr3> cmanns: ok im in grub.cfg
[03:14] <linux_probe> im not sure about just their cheapest plain stereo amp
[03:14] <cmanns> you see the multiple lines in there you formentioned? :3
[03:14] <TheShaman> audiosource? anyone use them?
[03:15] <ugliefrog> mrdebuntu, I guess i have to know a uuid code then put a / at the end
[03:16] <mrdebuntu> ugliefrog: in terminal, type sudo blkid and check the uuid for it
[03:16] <linux_probe> never used audiosource stuff, but from the manuals and ratings listed, their over-rated on output by far
[03:17] <Corleone> i cant connect to my router when WEP is turned on, but when i turn WEP off, i can connect, i added the WEP key, but it doesnt connect, anyone know why?
[03:17] <TheShaman> sheerwood?
[03:17] <linux_probe> their listed ratings are @ 1% THD
[03:17] <TheShaman> all i want for this setup is something that will sound _OK_ and not blow out in a year
[03:17] <linux_probe> well, any of the cheaper ones would probably work ok
[03:17] <boots> anyone on here familiar with prolog by any chance? >.<
[03:17] <TheShaman> and is heap
[03:17] <TheShaman> and is cheap
[03:18] <linux_probe> providing you dont crank them to the moon and expect them to perform like an expensive amp
[03:18] <linusasus6> ok I will try to copy paste the menu entrys see if it work then
[03:18] <cmanns> man
[03:18] <linux_probe> anyways, this seems way off #ubuntu topic
[03:18] <boots> or can point me to where i can find someone that does?
[03:18] <Corleone> i cant connect to my router when WEP is turned on, but when i turn WEP off, i can connect, i added the WEP key, but it doesnt connect, anyone know why?
[03:18] <TheShaman> thats pretty much what i think.. they cheap ones will work... _OK_
[03:18] <LuckySMackDroid> So if I had Ubuntu installed to itsown drive and grub was installed to it. And I then installed windows to another drive.  I mean I've ran OS's off it before, it boots ubuntu but gets the recessive /dev/sr0 medium cannot be mounted error
[03:20] <cmanns> a un recognizable usb*
[03:20] <LuckySMackDroid> The windows drive is the primary drive on this case.
[03:20] <sougata> Corleone, did you try connecting from the command prompt
[03:20] <Corleone> cmanns try another USB port
[03:21] <Corleone> sougata, yes its Ubuntu 10.04, server, command line
[03:21] <b0g4nk1d> it could be a corrupted FAT table
[03:21] <b0g4nk1d> I've had USB pendisks that have done that to me before
[03:21] <cmanns> I tried every port, http://pastebin.com/SkcUvmUf
[03:21] <linusasus6> ya I think I know what happen theyre 2  grub.cfg
[03:22] <Jasonn> I DID IT!
[03:22] <cmanns> I ran PfSense off this USB before :/
[03:22] <Jasonn> i made this IRC client work :)
[03:22] <sougata> Corleone, I mean connecting with your router
[03:22] <sougata> using iwconfig
[03:22] <Corleone> sougata, yes, it doesnt work when WEP is on, but it does work when i disable WEP
[03:22] <cbilljones> im having trouble starting vncviewer via ssh session, i can start locally from terminal with "vncviewer localhost:3", my ssh command is: "ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@computer"
[03:23] <Corleone> all done via command line
[03:23] <LuckySMackDroid> So assuming windows mbr was installed properly. Would I only need to run update-grub from the live cd
[03:23] <overclucker> Jasonn: Smuxi?
[03:23] <slinkeey> Hello, as a ubuntu user, can I ask firefox questions, or do you recommend a different channel?
[03:23] <b0g4nk1d> @cmanns you might need to pull the USB drive out of the port then plug it in again
[03:24] <Jasonn> Corleone: My advice to you, from server-runner to server-runner, is just get an old router for $30 on ebay, and slap DD-WRT on it, and ise it as a wireless bride, easiest thing to do, and the best decision of your life!
[03:24] <linusasus6> yep I found it theyre a grub.cfg on the partition /boot and a grub.cfg on the / of debian
[03:24] <Jasonn> overclucker: Yes
[03:24] <Jasonn> overclucker: CTCP?
[03:24] <overclucker> hehe
[03:25] <Cablguy> hey peeps,   anyone know of a good audio creation package I can use?
[03:25] <cmanns> hmm yeah I have plugged in the usb over n over
[03:25] <cmanns> It's a U3 drive but i removed their launcher crap long ago
[03:25] <Jasonn> overclucker: do you want a BNC, it could hide that ;)
[03:25] <sougata> Corleone, did you enable the wep support for your router
[03:26] <Corleone> Yes
[03:26] <TheShaman> what platform audio creation? what are you doing audacity?
[03:26] <Cablguy> I installed Mixxx but, it's not exactly what I was lookin for
[03:26] <Guest93931> Is there any place i can view grub2 error?  I see an error when grub loads, but it loads ad functions fine except for not using my background that i set in it
[03:26] <overclucker> Jasonn: glad i got you before you had tiem to set that up
[03:27] <cmanns> hmm dank, says u3 usb drives work on ubuntu D:
[03:27] <Corleone> sougata: i enabled WEP from the router, if thats what you mean
[03:27] <Jasonn> overclucker: i mean would you like a BNC?
[03:27] <Cablguy> TheShaman just lookin to create some music files of my own
[03:27] <Jasonn> overclucker: check my version now
[03:27] <TheShaman> anyone have mythtv crash X?
[03:27] <milamber> Cablguy: dj/vj system you are looking at LiVES, recording look at ardour, and midi editing you are looking at rosegarden
[03:27] <TheShaman> music files to mp3? audio editing?
[03:28] <sougata> Corleone, yes.
[03:28] <TheShaman> audacity is not bad for quick edits (on windows is kinda buggy but still usable)
[03:28] <Cablguy> TheShamn, no..  just looking to create
[03:28] <overclucker> Jasonn: heh
[03:28] <Corleone> sougata: yep, its enabled by default, i took it down, to make my server connect, which i managed to do
[03:28] <Cablguy> I've got Mixx, and Audacity installed and neather have a viable creation option
[03:29] <milamber> Cablguy: +1 for audacity for quick edits
[03:29] <Cablguy> not looking to edit..  looking to create
[03:29] <FishEee> so i cant get 10.10 to install... it just sits there
[03:29] <cmanns> could /dev/sg0/1 be my usb drive?
[03:29] <cmanns> u3-tool says sg
[03:29] <milamber> Cablguy: then check out rosegarden
[03:29] <TheShaman> create music files from what? like some synth to make music? midi creator?
[03:29] <Jasonn> FishEee: get the "Alternat CD" and try that
[03:30] <Bogus8_> So, mdadm is broken??  This page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReliableRaid  says that it has some serious problems if I'm reading it correctly... 4 says that the notification system isn't working?!?!
[03:30] <Cablguy> TheShaman Just create music files from scratch...  like dub step and the like..
[03:30] <sougata> Corleone, Does the router say anything about the key size
[03:30] <Corleone> 128 bit
[03:30] <FishEee> Jasonn, why need that?
[03:31] <Cablguy> I'll check out rosegarden
[03:31] <TheShaman> not sure about that then but i think you can get some roland simulators or something like that
[03:31] <cmanns> dang
[03:31] <cmanns> mount: /dev/sg0 is not a block device
[03:31] <Corleone> i think thats 23 characters
[03:32] <Cablguy> this is exactly what I'm looking for..  http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
[03:32] <Cablguy> thanks for the input guys..  :)
[03:32] <Jasonn> FishEee: i had the same problem - trying that CD fixed it for me, otherwise, just download the "server" edition, and do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop - that fixed it for me
[03:32] <joako> Wow apt-get can't even folow dependancies
[03:32] <Jasonn> overclucker: check PM
[03:32] <rebirth> what is the console command to open the audio manager thingy?
[03:33] <FishEee> Jasonn, 9.10 installs fine.... 10.04 and 10.10 doesnt do anything
[03:33] <Jasonn> FishEee: RAM?
[03:33] <FishEee> im downloading that to try it though
[03:33] <TheShaman> whats the best program for ubuntu to o wake on lan?
[03:33] <FishEee> Jasonn, 4gb
[03:33] <sougata> Corleone, why 23 characters ?
[03:33] <FishEee> specs def not issue
[03:33] <Jasonn> FishEee: you should be able to update it right through the update manager
[03:33] <FishEee> Q6600 cpu
[03:33] <Corleone> sougata: 26
[03:34] <linusasus6> ok I've edit the grub.cfg on both partition what is the terminal command I do for update the grub menu, or is it enough just edit grub.cfg?
[03:34] <FishEee> than computer wont start
[03:34] <Corleone> i just counted
[03:34] <b0g4nk1d> Has anyone got the Windows version of OpenOffice to run under Wine?
[03:34] <cmanns> lsusb says my usb drive Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0781:540a SanDisk Corp.
[03:34] <Guest93931> Is there any place i can view grub2 errors? I see an error when grub loads, but it loads ad functions fine except for not using my background that i set in it
[03:34] <milamber> rebirth: alsamixer
[03:36] <rebirth> is there anything else?
[03:36] <b0g4nk1d> nobody?
[03:36] <sougata> Corleone, I am not sure, I guess you know it better. The representation is Hexadecimal , so I was wondering
[03:37] <sougata> Can you use FEFEFEFEFEFEFEFEFEFE as the key and check
[03:37] <allyn> #list
[03:37] <milamber> rebirth: to launch a gui from the terminal: gnome-volume-control
[03:39] <Bogus8_> I can send a --test out with mdadm and it emails just fine... but if I pull the power on a drive I never get an email.
[03:39] <Corleone> sougata: ok
[03:39] <witeshark> does anyone have a way to remove FF ubuntuzilla build while the commands and repos no longer exist
[03:39] <Bogus8_> So does mdadm not work in 10.4 server?
[03:40] <linusasus6> will try to restart see it then
[03:40] <cmanns> So if lsusb shows your usb drive, theres no device in /dev and dmesg shows a error after you plug it in, whats my next line of action?
[03:41] <Corleone> sougata: Error: You have to enter a valid 128-bit Network key
[03:41] <sougata> :-)
[03:42] <sougata> Corleone, you were correct
[03:46] <klasko> hi

[03:47] <sougata> Corleone, did you read this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-78162.html
[03:47] <Corleone> sougata: any ideas?
[03:47] <Corleone> ok
[03:47] <klasko> hi, I have a problem, I can't mount my root disk
[03:48] <linusasus6> yep what I did work I have edit the grub.cfg on my /boot partition and add what was on my debian / partition, and edit my grub.cfg of my debian partition and add what was on the /boot partition then I'm finally on mu ubuntu
[03:48] <klasko> when I boot, appears a windows like a terminal, searching for the root
[03:48] <klasko> but it doesn't find it
[03:48] <paintchip> your root is on a seperate partition or disk?
[03:48] <klasko> separate partition
[03:48] <klasko> along with a windows partition, whick I can use
[03:49] <paintchip> what does your grub menu look like?
[03:49] <xprob> my ip3600 will not print ; it says it finished job but silent
[03:49] <paintchip> sounds like it is looking in the wrong place
[03:49] <klasko> an entry for ubuntu, ubuntu recovery mode, and windows
[03:49] <arrrghhh> hey all, what's the "recommended" method for cleaning up old kernels from GRUB?
[03:49] <klasko> I've been using ubuntu for 2 years, and nothing went wrong before
[03:51] <arrrghhh> i've just been removing them manually
[03:51] <arrrghhh> but there's gotta be a better way.
[03:52] <cmanns> Anyone know how to disable usb2?
[03:52] <Bogus8_> I'm about to jump ship to debian... if mdadm doesn't work properly then ubuntu seems like a poor choice for a server.
[03:54] <Jgilk1> having issues installing java applet consule request for code su when it prompts for authorizition i enter my password and it rejects it
[03:55] <visual1ce> how do i find out the device name of my tablet?

[03:56] <murlidhar> is it possible to set qt apps in gnome session to have custom fonts using qtconfig ? cuz when qtapps selected to use GTK+ the fonts cannot be set in custom.
[03:57] <murlidhar> is it a bug ?
[03:57] <Random832> murlidhar: set the gtk fonts
[03:57] <cmanns> Ok well if ic ant install a live cd
[03:57] <cmanns> onto usb
[03:57] <Random832> or wait is that what yo're saying doesn't work?
[03:57] <cmanns> How can I enable different apt repos if im on a live cd and it wont let me save sources.lst
[03:58] <murlidhar> Random832: yes i did but i want to have qt apps have different fonts than gtk apps
[03:58] <Random832> why?
[03:58] <Random832> the point of the gtk theme is to make them look the same
[03:58] <Jgilk1> establish super user?
[03:58] <Guest93931> Anyone know if Grub2 saves a log file anyplace? i have a nonfatal grub error at boot but it goes away too fast to read
[03:58] <Random832> and it works well, i didn't know virtualbox wasn't gtk for like a year and a half
[03:58] <murlidhar> Random832: my font doesn't render the same in qt app.
[03:58] <trick> what does 'rc' stand for in .bashrc ?
[03:59] <murlidhar> Random832: so i wanted to have altogether a different font set for qt app.
[03:59] <Random832> trick: it's historical
[03:59] <trick> Random832: interesting,do you remember what the rc used to stand for tho?
[03:59] <Random832> i think it's "run commands'
[03:59] <arrrghhh> hey all, what's the "recommended" method for cleaning up old kernels from GRUB?
[03:59] <Random832> but it's pretty meaningless
[03:59] <trick> Random832: ok thanks
[04:00] <speedrunnerG55> will ububtu ever have a tablet vetrion of it
[04:00] <klasko> hi,i can't boot from my root disk

[04:00] <ahaziah77> HELP!!!!
[04:00] <Random832> cmanns: uh, you could run a gui tool that edits sources.list for you
[04:00]  * Random832 recommends gedit
[04:00] <arrrghhh> !help | ahaziah77
[04:00] <roygbiv> ok thanks Random832
[04:00] <speedrunnerG55> ahaziah77 what a name
[04:01] <Random832> roygbiv: vim, meld
[04:01] <Random832> the "gedit" was a joke at cmanns, not you
[04:01] <roygbiv> oic ok
[04:01] <cmanns> I can edit it via command but I'm on a livecd.......
[04:01] <Random832> meld is a good standalone one
[04:01] <Random832> you can run "gvimdiff" or "vimdiff" on two files to open vim in diff mode automatically, or :help diff

[04:12] <Boatingbum23> yes
[04:12] <milamber> Boatingbum23: sorry, via apt-get?
[04:13] <Corleone> sougata: any ideas?

[04:13] <milamber> Boatingbum23: you shouldn't have to cd
[04:13]  * sougata is clueless
[04:14] <Boatingbum23> hmm, what would be the run command? maybe i entered it wrong?
[04:14] <Corleone> lol damn
[04:14] <milamber> Boatingbum23: service murmur start
[04:14] <sougata> Corleone, last option might be to tail syslog and see where its failing
[04:14] <milamber> Boatingbum23: sudo*
[04:15] <Corleone> okay sougata, how do i do that
[04:15] <Boatingbum23> unrecognized service

[04:19] <Jasonn> WHen i try to suspend/hibernate the comp
[04:19] <Boatingbum23> i ot it working, thank you milamber
[04:20] <Guest93931> hardware abstraction layer ?
[04:20] <Corleone> can anyone else help me? i cant connect to my router using WEP
[04:20] <Jasonn> idk, it just sais HAL
[04:20] <Jasonn> Corleone: use WPA
[04:20] <sweet> can anyone give any suggestion

[04:21] <Jasonn> Guest93931: It just sais HAL
[04:21] <helius> Hello !
[04:21] <bp0> Is it possible to use the ubuntu installer to install ubuntu on another partition from within an existing ubuntu installation?
[04:21] <histo> Corleone: what type of card?
[04:21] <Jasonn> Corleone: As i suggested before, just get a $30 router and use it as a wireless bridge - the easiest thing you could ever do
[04:21] <Guest93931> Jasonn yea, thats hardware abstraction layer but i thought only windows got that error
[04:22] <helius> Yes bp0
[04:22] <Corleone> Jasonn, isn't there another way to do it, without buying?
[04:22] <histo> Corleone: what type of card?
[04:22] <Corleone> histo, how do i check? iwconfig?
[04:22] <Jasonn> Guest93931: how do i fix it? I just get it when i try to suspent the comp to RAM
[04:22] <histo> Corleone: lspci
[04:22] <bp0> helius, are there instructions somewhere?
[04:22] <Corleone> Ok
[04:22] <histo> Corleone: it's probably broadcom and you need the firmware would be my guess
[04:23] <Corleone> histo, the thing is, i can connect when WEP is off, just can't connect when it's on
[04:23] <Jasonn> Corleone: to tell you the truth, if you COULD spare $30, go for it, you have been here for almost 2 hours, is it really worth all of the time and effort wasted?
[04:23] <histo> Jasonn: that doens't sovle Corleone problem
[04:23] <histo> Corleone: lspci | grep Network
[04:23] <Corleone> exactly, and even if i buy it, it will take 3 days to arrive
[04:23] <Guest93931> Jasonn is this a laptop?
[04:23] <Corleone> one sec, im rebooting histo
[04:23] <Jasonn> histo: hes been here for almost 2 hours - noone has been able to help him
[04:24] <histo> Jasonn: because no one is trying
[04:24] <Jasonn> Guest93931: No, its an IBM desktop
[04:24] <histo> Jasonn: suggesting for him to buy a product that won't fix the issue isn't the right way to go.
[04:24] <Jasonn> histo: be my guest if you can fix it
[04:24] <nuszinomoz1> i met with same problem on difrenet machine, I read a few forums, the only one solution is to buy an other card
[04:24] <Nexus-Wind> So im leaving for a week and taking my computer, can I backup my monitor setup and desktop icons? to start fresh with one monitor?
[04:24] <nuszinomoz1> it's not supported
[04:24] <histo> Corleone: well what are you in windows?  you should be able to find out from there as well
[04:24] <Nexus-Wind> I have 4 monitors that were a pain in the ass to get working correctly
[04:24] <Guest93931> Jasonn not sure if this will help since its for laptops but i found this article http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-suspend-and-hibernation-problem-for-laptops.html

[04:26] <Corleone> but im using wlan0, not eth1
[04:26] <bzaks1424> i'm working on dnsmasq- does anyone know if there's an official channel for it?

[04:27] <Corleone> histo: strange, because i can connect when WEP isnt on?
[04:28] <histo> Corleone: using what?
[04:28] <DanOpi> i don't want a dual boot or anything, just unbuntu
[04:28] <Corleone> histo: standard iwconfig up
[04:28] <Jasonn> danOpi: try the live CD, you can test it out from there
[04:28] <BobSagget> DanOpi you currently hav windows and anoter os?
[04:28] <histo> Corleone: Then there has to be a network controller listed if you are using wireless
[04:28] <Jasonn> danOpi: without even installing
[04:28] <DanOpi> I have windows on this tower
[04:29] <histo> Corleone: lspci | grep Network
[04:29] <DanOpi> i have another tower with xp on it i think and i want to wipe that and have it be unbuntu
[04:29] <bp0> helius?
[04:29] <histo> DanOpi: just boot up the cd and you can run it live from there to check out. If you like it just click on install
[04:29] <DanOpi> i'll just install it anyway on that other tower
[04:30] <DanOpi> can i do a hard drive wipe somehow to get rid of windows on the hard drive?
[04:30] <histo> DanOpi: yeah with the installer
[04:30] <DanOpi> it gives me the option?
[04:30] <DanOpi> okay
[04:30] <DanOpi> unbuntu need a good processor or graphics card?
[04:30] <BobSagget> no
[04:31] <DanOpi> okay well i'm gonna go dig that tower out and then set it up
[04:31] <BobSagget> 2.4 ghz processor works fine with my old raphics card
[04:31] <histo> DanOpi: no, if you aren't happy with performanceyou can go with xubuntu or something lighter
[04:31] <Corleone> histo: i cant get the | to work on my other keyboard, its the third function of a key
[04:32] <histo> Corleone: well then you'll have to use lspci and pgup to scroll back.
[04:32] <histo> Corleone: does this box have a GUI?
[04:32] <Corleone> this one, yes
[04:32] <pv2depoty> does anyone kno anything about adb for android phones?
[04:32] <histo> !anyone | pv2depoty and it sounds offtopic

[04:33] <pv2depoty> umm wat channel should i be in?
[04:33] <Corleone> lol adroid maybe

[04:40] <histo> shadghost: or s/\$/ /g  something liek that
[04:40] <rww> that ^
[04:41] <Corleone> histo: brb
[04:41] <shadghost> sed -e "s/\$/ /g" text.xtx
[04:41] <shadghost> did not work
[04:41] <shadghost> and i tryed the '$' alredy
[04:42] <venkatesh> Hello.....
[04:43] <Silivrenion> hi venkatesh !
[04:43] <histo> shadghost: let me do some trying
[04:43] <luxurymode> hey all. just installed KDE, having some problems with multi-monitors. can anyone help? my left monitor is acting buggy, displaying blank space at the bottom of the screen. i have ATI...
[04:44] <chaosr> luxurymode, Did you try playing with the size and orientation utility ?
[04:44] <thevishy> !wubi
[04:45] <luxurymode> chaosr: nope. how do i find the size and orientation utility?
[04:45] <chaosr> luxurymode, netbook installation here and it works just fine with dual display
[04:45] <luxurymode> chaosr: by the way, once i mouse over to the bottom of my left screen, it does display the taskbar
[04:45] <luxurymode> im on a desktop...
[04:45] <thevishy> Wubi asks me to mention installation size , what and how does this affect my HDD ? Wh is it the defeault size 17GB ?
[04:45] <thevishy> Will it do some kind of partition ?
[04:45] <renegade_> no partition
[04:46] <renegade_> it installs like any other windows app
[04:46] <chaosr> well I would try to just click on K menu and type screen for starter, should give you the utility in the options
[04:46] <bp0> for some reason clicking on zip files opens them in firefox, which then asks me to open them in archive manager... how do I fix that?
[04:46] <zeleftikam> U 10.10: how do i add a repository by command line?
[04:46] <thevishy> I see , so it consumes 17 GB , alloting some space for my File System ? like free space ?
[04:46] <renegade_> yes
[04:47] <chaosr> zeleftikam, for a starter you would have to add a line to /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:47] <chaosr> zeleftikam, then probably add the gpg keys and do an apt-get update
[04:47] <zeleftikam> chaosr: i'm following a tutorial that says i need to run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-on-rails
[04:47] <thevishy> how much RAM does wubi require ? mine is a netbook basically
[04:47] <switch10_> zeleftikam: you could also do add-apt-repository <repository_name>
[04:47] <renegade_> what are your specs thevishy
[04:47] <chaosr> zeleftikam, ok that is another way I heard of, sorry not too familiar with tough
[04:48] <thevishy> Atom and 1 GB , with 160 GB RAM
[04:48] <zeleftikam> chaosr: sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
[04:48] <thevishy> available is about 300 MB RAM as per task manager
[04:48] <renegade_> hmmmm
[04:48] <renegade_> not a lot of resources available then
[04:49] <switch10_> zeleftikam: you are not adding the ":" correct?
[04:49] <zeleftikam> there is a : in it, yes
[04:50] <zeleftikam> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-on-rails
[04:50] <chaosr> zeleftikam, weird I have the command available.. wich version are you using ?
[04:51] <manzaniw> hello there
[04:51] <zeleftikam> chaosr: Description:    Ubuntu 10.10
[04:51] <histo> shadghost: alright figured it out
[04:52] <histo> shadghost: s/\$/ /g
[04:52] <zeleftikam> it's on Rackspace, i don't know if they've messed with it...?
[04:52] <shadghost> Whoo
[04:52] <arand> Is there a way to get inline diffs?
[04:52] <histo> shadghost: works in vim atleast i'm sure it will work in sed
[04:52] <luxurymode> chaosr: messed around with size/orientation. cant seem to get it right. maybe i should restart once after installing kde?
[04:53] <mitch_feaster> What does everyone do to jump to specific command line switches while reading man pages? I often find myself man'ing a command only to search for the option and scroll through like 30 matches until I find the actual description...
[04:53] <Abhijit> in my one slide in LO impress whole para is getting auto decremented but there is lots of space. how to make it not auto decrement font size?
[04:53] <Abhijit> help
[04:53] <chaosr> luxurymode, maybe but I can't see why you would... you say there is a black bar on top and bottom of screen ???
[04:53] <histo> mitch_feaster: / then type in a search term
[04:53] <chaosr> zeleftikam, ok .. try : sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
[04:54] <shadghost> histo: no, not in sed, and vi is not installed
[04:54] <luxurymode> just bottom. so the desktop space is limited to less than the monitor. although, like i said, if i mouse over, the kde bar does appear at the bottom
[04:54] <zeleftikam> chaosr: okay, installed.
[04:54] <histo> shadghost: let me check set it has to work that way
[04:54] <rww> mitch_feaster: press /, type the option, press enter
[04:54] <luxurymode> chaosr: but anything i drag there, is cut off and im only seeing partial windows. anything that extends to black area just disappears. its like the damn bermuda triangle ;)
[04:54] <chaosr> zeleftikam, ok if you just type add-apt then do tab it does not auto-complete ?
[04:54] <zeleftikam> it does autocomplete
[04:55] <mitch_feaster> histo: That's what I do, but like I said, I then have to hit 'n' about 30 times until I get to the actual description...
[04:55] <histo> shadghost: yeap sed -ie 's/\$/ /g' filename works here
[04:55] <chaosr> zeleftikam, ok means command is available....try just typing sudo add-apt-repository without param to see what it says
[04:55] <histo> mitch_feaster: that's about the only way I think you can search from the bottom though
[04:55] <zeleftikam> chaosr: actually, i ran the whole command, and it worked fine
[04:55] <chaosr> luxurymode, ok, and the task bar appears in this area or above it ?
[04:56] <luxurymode> task bar is at the bottom of the area
[04:56] <psycho> tyt ktonibyd' po rysskii znaet?
[04:56] <chaosr> zeleftikam, ok I thought it was not running properly
[04:56] <zeleftikam> chaosr: it appears to have added gpgkey, good right?
[04:56] <mitch_feaster> I was just looking at http://babbage.cs.qc.edu/courses/cs701/Handouts/man_pages.html and trying to think of how to maybe write some elisp to parse the man page up while in `woman' mode...
[04:56] <shadghost> histo: it should replace it in middle of a sentance right like "this&is&a&sentance&that&has&spaces&"
[04:56] <chaosr> zeleftikam, yeah good
[04:56] <Abhijit> in my one slide in LO impress whole para is getting auto decremented but there is lots of space. how to make it not auto decrement font size?
[04:56] <Abhijit> hewlp
[04:56] <zeleftikam> chaosr: yeah, the command didn't run at all until i installed the python thing. weird. thanks very much for your help!! ++
[04:56] <histo> shadghost: yeah just did for me
[04:56] <chaosr> zeleftikam, then a simple apt-get update should get the package list from that source
[04:56] <zeleftikam> gotcha
[04:57] <zeleftikam> that was my next step :)
[04:57] <shadghost> histo: strange that it is not for me
[04:57] <histo> shadghost: make sure you're using ' and not `
[04:57] <luxurymode> chaosr: here's a snapshot http://imgur.com/MWyBT
[04:57] <chaosr> zeleftikam, no prob, just to let you know, that particular command is provided by that pythin package
[04:57] <histo> shadghost: what is the error you care getting?
[04:57] <histo> shadghost: or ifyou could pastebin the output
[04:57] <shadghost> i am
[04:57] <chaosr> zeleftikam, I juste searched the command name on packages.ubuntu.com to see wich package provided it
[04:57] <Corleone> back, okay histo, im booting up windows on that server, just switched the HD's, one sec
[04:57] <zeleftikam> chaosr: ahh. gotcha. nice. no idea why this install doesn't have it
[04:58] <shadghost> histo: i was using " not '
[04:58] <glitchd> can someone please help me, i cannot update my system (ubuntu 10.04 32 bit)  it keeps telling me "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:58] <glitchd> E: Unable to lock the download directory" but software center is not open, neither is anything else, only update manager
[04:58] <histo> shadghost: do cat filename.blah && sed -ie 's/\$/ /g' filename.blah   then pastebin all that
[04:58] <histo> shadghost: and how is vi not installed?
[04:58] <histo> shadghost: it's installed on nearly every distro
[04:58] <chaosr> zeleftikam, don't know as I said I am not too familiar with that command but I think it is relatively recent
[04:58] <shadghost> histo: no ieda, i have ubuntu desktop installed over ubuntu server
[04:58] <chaosr> luxurymode, ok I see
[04:59] <chaosr> luxurymode, weird, you lose me there . and under gnome multi screen works ?
[04:59] <mitch_feaster> okay, man pages are written in groff... guess I'll look into parsing that...
[04:59] <shadghost> *goes back to his vm's*
[04:59] <shadghost> stupid compatition tormmrow
[05:00] <luxurymode> chaosr: yeah in gnome its fine. remember i have ati catalyst. also, have docky running too, maybe thats messing things up?
[05:00] <histo> shadghost: well then vi is there
[05:00] <glitchd> can anyone help me with this error?? "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:00] <glitchd>  E: Unable to lock the download directory"
[05:00] <luxurymode> chaosr: hahha bingo. closed docky and we're good now
[05:00] <luxurymode> sweet
[05:00] <Loshki> mitch_feaster: before you run off and reinvent the wheel (parsing groff), what are you trying to do?
[05:00] <Wiesshund> I use ATI Cataclysm LOL
[05:00] <shadghost> shadghost@weardass:~/probs$ vim text.xtx
[05:00] <shadghost> The program 'vim' can be found in the following packages: * vim
[05:00] <shadghost> ...
[05:00] <luxurymode> Wiesshund: lol! exactly..
[05:01] <histo> shadghost: vi test.txt
[05:01] <Wiesshund> actualy ive been lucky, for me its nvidia thats gave me fits and not ati
[05:01] <glitchd> can anyone help me with this error?? "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the download directory"
[05:01] <shadghost> well that is my falt, i named it text.xtx on axadiant....
[05:01] <shadghost> but vi was not installed
[05:01] <shadghost> i just installed it
[05:01] <histo> shadghost: no vim is not installed i bet vi is
[05:01] <AndrewMC> glitchd: /w 28
[05:01] <Wiesshund> glitchd did you use sudo when doing what ever you were doing?
[05:02] <AndrewMC> glitchd: sorry :)
[05:02] <glitchd> Wiesshund, i was running update manager
[05:02] <glitchd> AndrewMC, np
[05:02] <shadghost> histo: i thought vi == vim
[05:02] <mitch_feaster> Loshki: Ha, but isn't that the fun part? :) Simple use case: `man wget`; `/`; `-r`; <enter>; Arrived at line 1413 of the man page (the actual description of -r, rather than references to it)
[05:02] <glitchd> Wiesshund, i cant figure out why i keep getting this error
[05:02] <chaosr> luxurymode, excellent I'll try to remember that one
[05:02] <mitch_feaster> (without having to type 'n' (or C-s in my case) 30 times)
[05:03] <mitch_feaster> Building a database of options from the man page, then doing quick lookups on that.
[05:03] <glitchd> Wiesshund, usually ill get that error if software center is open at the same time, but its not, in fact, nothing is open, only update manager
[05:03] <Wiesshund> glitchd try in console sudo apt-get update?
[05:04] <glitchd> Wiesshund, that seems to work fine
[05:04] <histo> shadghost: no vim is vi improved
[05:05] <glitchd> update manager has a whole list of things that need to be installed, but sudo apt-get update jus breezed thru, didnt stop at any line.
[05:05] <glitchd> Wiesshund, update manager has a whole list of things that need to be installed, but sudo apt-get update jus breezed thru, didnt stop at any line.
[05:05] <mitch_feaster> There's not much meta-information associated with groff, but I think you could scrape up most of them...
[05:05] <Wiesshund> glitched see if updte mgr will load now?
[05:06] <glitchd> Wiesshund, it opens fine, jus when i try to install the updates, i get that error right after i enter my password
[05:06] <Wiesshund> glitchd ok try picking one update to install
[05:06] <Ry4an> If I have an existing installed 10.4 system (headless) and I want to create an emergency boot flash drive, what's the recommended command/tool?  I don't need/want data backup, just something to help out if my MBR gets zorched (I'm using software RAID if that matters)
[05:06] <glitchd> Wiesshund, this is what is says now "Unable to get exclusive lock
[05:06] <glitchd> This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first."
[05:07] <glitchd> Wiesshund, i didnt even get to put in my password
[05:07] <Wiesshund> is apt-get still running?
[05:07] <duongthaiha> Ry4an: usuing system - administator -start up disck creator
[05:07] <Corleone> histo: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/48562
[05:07] <shadghost> winXperts_: what server
[05:07] <glitchd> Wiesshund, no im back at prompt
[05:07] <shadghost> Wiesshund: what server
[05:07] <xxx2> xxx1 hi
[05:07] <Ry4an> Duongthaiha: it's headless/no-X/server.  Is there an command line tool backing that I can invoke?
[05:08] <B|ackPanther> Hi, i have a problem i forgot the password for accessing one of my private keys, how can i reset the password ?
[05:08] <rww> B|ackPanther: private key as in gnupg?
[05:08] <xxx2> xxx1 hi
[05:08] <Ry4an> I'm seeing grub-mkrescue, is that an candidate?
[05:08] <glitchd> Wiesshund, ok so i tried to pick just one update just now, and it gave me the same message
[05:09] <Wiesshund> glitchd sounds like maybe an update tool got shut down prematurely at some point, Look for a LOCK file in your rpm downloads section (the folder where apt-get and synaptic download packges) and delete it.
[05:09] <switch10_> q
[05:09] <glitchd> Wiesshund, i have no clue how to do that
[05:09] <Wiesshund> glitchd then you might want to rm /var/lock/rpm/transaction also
[05:09] <glitchd> Wiesshund, and i thought ubuntu didnt use rpms?
[05:09] <xxx1> hi
[05:09] <xxx1> xxx2 hello
[05:09] <B|ackPanther> rww : Am not sure but i get "Enter password to unlock the private key" dialog everytime am trying to access git.
[05:09] <root_> hi everyone
[05:10] <Wiesshund> glitchd well packages, debs
[05:10] <duongthaiha> uhm that's hard
[05:10] <rww> B|ackPanther: ah. I don't know about git, but if it's using ssh or gnupg, you can't reset the passwords to those keys.
[05:10] <glitchd> Wiesshund, so how would i do this?
[05:10] <Ry4an> B|ackPanther: that sounds like like a ssh key.  You'll need to generate a new keypair and set the public key on the server if you've forgotten it.
[05:10] <B|ackPanther> rww : the how do i get  a new one ?
[05:10] <xxx1> h
[05:11] <ferzan> is there anyone using ubuntu and backtrack at the same time?
[05:11] <ferzan> or just backtrack :)
[05:11] <rww> B|ackPanther: depends on what it's using. Ask #git if nobody here knows the specifics.
[05:11] <Ry4an> B|ackPanther: you can create a new one with ssh-keygen, but you probably followed directions on a specific hosting site initially (github?) and if so you should follow them again.
[05:11] <rww> ferzan: #backtrack-linux for Backtrack.
[05:11] <Abhijit> help
[05:11] <Abhijit> in my one slide in LO impress whole para is getting auto decremented but there is lots of space. how to make it not auto decrement font size?
[05:11] <Wiesshund> glitchd you could always use find or locate and search for any LOCK files
[05:12] <glitchd> Wiesshund, so jus type "find LOCK"?
[05:12] <cbilljones> im having trouble starting vncviewer via ssh session, i can start locally from terminal with "vncviewer localhost:3", my ssh command is: "ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@computer"
[05:12] <rww> Abhijit: There are no supported packages for LibreOffice on released versions of Ubuntu. If you're using a PPA, talk to the PPA maintainer. If you're using natty, see #ubuntu+1.
[05:12] <SkullTraill> Can someone help me please
[05:12] <SkullTraill> Regarding GRUB
[05:12] <Abhijit> rww, i am using ppa in lucid. and no one is replying in #documentfoundation
[05:12] <Abhijit> SkullTraill, ask
[05:12] <SkullTraill> I have 2 hard disks
[05:13] <SkullTraill> first one with 4 partitions
[05:13] <SkullTraill> and windows installed in one
[05:13] <SkullTraill> the other one with 3 partitions
[05:13] <rww> ferzan: your ident is set to "root". Change it, that ident is banned in there.
[05:13] <SkullTraill> and ubuntu in one of those
[05:13] <SkullTraill> i installed grub
[05:13] <SkullTraill> in the same partitions as ubuntu
[05:13] <chaosr> SkullTraill, ok do you know if it is grub2 ???
[05:13] <glitchd> Wiesshund, so jus type "find LOCK"?
[05:13] <SkullTraill> it is grub 2
[05:13] <ferzan> ok..im trying now
[05:13] <Wiesshund> glitchd /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[05:14] <SkullTraill> so then after installing GRUB on the same partitions as linux
[05:14] <xxx3> w
[05:14] <SkullTraill> aka sdb3
[05:14] <SkullTraill> i get GRUB at book
[05:14] <xxx1> w
[05:14] <SkullTraill> but when i goto Windows Loader
[05:14] <xxx2> w
[05:14] <SkullTraill> it reboots
[05:14] <SkullTraill> :(
[05:14] <xxx2> w
[05:14] <xxx1> w
[05:14] <glitchd> Wiesshund, then sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock?
[05:14] <chaosr> SkullTraill, did you try going to command mode and trying it manually ?
[05:14] <rww> xxx*: something we can help you with?
[05:14] <xxx1> xxx1 hi
[05:15] <chaosr> SkullTraill, on the choice you type c
[05:15] <xxx1> xxx2 hi
[05:15] <chaosr> SkullTraill, then TAB auto complete so you would type : "root(hd#
[05:15] <chaosr> SkullTraill, then do TAB to get a list of drives
[05:15] <SkullTraill> ok then?
[05:15] <Wiesshund> glitchd er, better advice is restart so the hung process can just release the lock, probably not a great idea to just start rm ing stuff
[05:15] <glitchd> Wiesshund, yup that worked now my system is installing updates
[05:16] <chaosr> SkullTraill, then add ", TAB to get a list of partition
[05:16] <Wiesshund> glitchd or not hehe
[05:16] <SkullTraill> then press enter?
[05:16] <glitchd> Wiesshund, well i have restarted, twice, and shutdown twice all before turning to here to find help
[05:16] <civilordergone> hey anyone know a good virtual machine for ubuntu that has unity/coherence??
[05:16] <SkullTraill> chaosr, then i press enter?
[05:16] <chaosr> SkullTraill, so you would see wich one is not a linux type (NTFS) so you would end up with a command that look like " root(hd0,1)"
[05:16] <Wiesshund> glitchd hmm odd, the lock must have got orphaned then
[05:16] <rww> ferzan: (don't PM me, please) You need to disconnect from freenode and reconnect for ident changes to take effect.
[05:17] <SkullTraill> ok then?
[05:17] <chaosr> SkullTraill, then press enter then type "chainloader +1"
[05:17] <SkullTraill> alright ill try that now
[05:17] <SkullTraill> BRB
[05:17] <chaosr> SkullTraill, then enter then type "boot" and enter again
[05:17] <glitchd> Wiesshund, well whatever the case may be, the problem is solved now. thank you for your help.
[05:17] <chaosr> SkullTraill, what this does is to ask to load windows bootloader and start it
[05:18] <Wiesshund> ok im off to bed nite all
[05:19] <visual1ce> to customise packages installed @ installation do i need to edit debconf?
[05:21] <Loshki> cbilljones: do you still need vncviewer help?
[05:21] <skulltraill> chaosr, it says BOOTMRG is missing
[05:21] <cbilljones> loshki yes please, if you can
