[20:45] <hi5> bad ram would prevent doing anything
[20:45] <thiefy_> but yeah, sorry, you are correct. it does need ram to get to the bios.
[20:45] <smw> DEAD_BEEF, ls -l your home dir
[20:45] <seul> thiefy_ and antlong: i removed the ram one at a time, and still only black screen. Some random beeping but i think it does that every time i boot
[20:45] <DEAD_BEEF> smw: I'll have to check when I get back home
[20:45] <thiefy_> note the beeping. those are post codes. you can google themt o see what they mean.
[20:46] <hi5> seul random beeping is odd
[20:46] <seul> thiefy_ and antlong: should i try to get a hold of a new battery?
[20:46] <smw> DEAD_BEEF, ok
[20:46] <thiefy_> restart it again, and see what the post codes are saying.
[20:46] <hi5> how mant beeps? long or short ones?
[20:46] <antlong> seul, no if the battery was dead it wouldnt do anything
[20:46] <thiefy_> seul, probaly not. i bet the battery is fine.
[20:46] <thiefy_> yeah, what antlong said. heheh
[20:46] <antlong> seul, maybe something got unseated? try to reseat your chips
[20:46] <DEAD_BEEF> smw: thanks
[20:46] <seul> thiefy_ and hi5: just one beep. But i think it has done that always, even when it was working
[20:46] <hi5> antlong battery is needed only to save parameters
[20:46] <hi5> cmos
[20:46] <thiefy_> one beep is normal.
[20:46] <hi5> it runs however
[20:46] <hi5> yes one is good
[20:47] <antlong> this might be a job for the geek squad lol
[20:47] <hi5> yep
[20:47] <seul> antlong: what do you mean by geek squad? :P
[20:47] <hi5> is surely and hw issue
[20:47] <thiefy_> do what antlong said and remove and reinstall your ram and graphics card and whatever other cards you have in there. check all the power connectors.
[20:47] <hi5> like the ones in big bang theory show..
[20:47] <antlong> seul, http://www.geeksquad.com/
[20:47] <hi5> thiefy_: well said
[20:48] <thiefy_> :)
[20:48] <thiefy_> we'll fix him together!
[20:48] <thiefy_> heh
[20:48] <seul> hi5 and thiefy_: oh ok like Chuck in Chuck :D
[20:48] <thiefy_> the three of us can solve it.
[20:48] <hi5> yep also him
[20:48] <thiefy_> that show is awesome - chuck.
[20:48] <thiefy_> i like the chick in that show.
[20:48] <hi5> thiefy_: we will have to divide the invoice amount sent by him
[20:48] <chrislsp> walker is hooot :P
[20:48] <guntbert> !ot | thiefy_ hi5
[20:48] <hi5> for this workout
[20:48] <thiefy_> hi5 yeah, good point.
[20:49] <seul> thiefy_ hi5 and antlong: okey, so this is the plan now, remove and reconnect all connectors.  Maybe ill call the swedish equivalent of geek squad
[20:51] <chrislsp> su=super user
[20:51] <zteam> seul: I didn't see that, since I lost my connection...
[20:51] <alaing> thiefy I'm still having issue with that dlink wifi dongle
[20:51] <seul> zteam: okey, so this is the plan now, remove and reconnect all connectors. And then reboot an assload of times until it works
[20:51] <antlong> seul, just dont remove the heatsink (im assuming you dont have conductive gel to apply)
[20:51] <alaing> shoul it be sudo su make or sudo sumake?
[20:51] <seul> antlong: i probably wont remove anything. Sounds dangerous
[20:52] <thiefy_> alaing, it's a driver issue. really the best advice i can come up with is google the model number of it and the word ubuntu, see if other's (people much smarter than me) have solved the problem.
[20:52] <antlong> seul, if i was you i would take all the ram out, take the battery out and wait 5 mins
[20:52] <seul> antlong: ok, ill remove a bunch of stuff and so on. brb
[20:52] <alaing> thiefy I'm trying this out http://linuxforums.org.uk/hardware-compatibility/ralink-rt2870-based-usb-wireless-n-adapters-(ubuntu)/
[20:52] <hi5> alaing does it get detected or not?
[20:52] <thiefy_> seul, just make sure things are plugged in nice and tight. and yeah, reboot with the linux live cd or usb key. well, first you wanna get to the bios... so if tht works, you are getting somewhere.
[20:53] <zteam> seul: sounds good... If you have a older motherboard with SATA-harddrives attached, check them as well
[20:53] <alaing> hi5: it used to detect my network but now it does
[20:53] <thiefy_> alaing, that link did not work.
[20:53] <MrUnagi> how can i have a bash script issue commands after initiating an ssh session
[20:53] <alaing> repeat from earlier
[20:53] <MrUnagi> rather than waiting for the connection to end
[20:53] <alaing> can someone help me install my dlink dwa-140 usb wifi dongle. At first I plugged it in and it saw some networks but would not connect to my network eve nafter turning off mac access control and encryption. I then followed this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1016108 but with the latest drviers from ralink. Now it simply does not see any networks. I may have done something...
[20:53] <alaing> ...wrong as I left out part 8 as I was not sure what I needed to replace but I did do the rest of them
[20:53] <FloodBot1> alaing: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:53] <alaing> sorry FloodBot :p
[20:54] <smw> MrUnagi, ssh server cmd arg1 arg2
[20:54] <MrUnagi> smw: so ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>echo hello?
[20:54] <alaing> I'm now trying a more updated thread here http://linuxforums.org.uk/hardware-compatibility/ralink-rt2870-based-usb-wireless-n-adapters-(ubuntu)/
[20:54] <smw> MrUnagi, yep
[20:54] <zteam> seul: some old motherboards do have problems with SATA-cabels, that may glitch
[20:54] <seul> zteam: ok, brb with results..
[20:55] <thiefy_> if your computer catches fire, unplug it mate.
[20:55] <MrUnagi> smw: any way to keep it from closing the session after the command?
[20:55] <nothingspecial> MrUnagi: screen
[20:55] <smw> MrUnagi, the only thing I can think of is to run bash after.
[20:56] <smw> MrUnagi, it is a hack, but it would work
[20:56] <alaing> how do i revert back to before I did the first lot of make and make install
[20:56] <hi5> thiefy_: also an extinguisher could be suitable..
[20:56] <smw> nothingspecial, not screen.
[20:56] <zteam> Anybody here can tell me about a good IRC-client please? :-)
[20:56] <hi5> kvirc
[20:56] <alaing> chatzilla
[20:56] <MrUnagi> smw: run a script on the server?
[20:56] <MrUnagi> i guess that would work
[20:56] <smw> MrUnagi, no, run the cmd, then as one of the cmds, run bash
[20:57] <MrUnagi> smw: #!/bin/bash?
[20:57] <smw> MrUnagi, no
[20:57] <MrUnagi> smw: sorry for my ignorance
[20:57] <cab938_> I'm trying to install a package from a ppa
[20:58] <cab938_> but it doesn't seem to show up on tab completion
[20:58] <zteam> alaing: okey...
[20:58] <cab938_> and when I apt-get install it by name it doesn't work (can't be found)
[20:58] <smw> MrUnagi, I am not sure what you should do.
[20:58] <hi5> using backtrack can you test if your wpa password is just fine?
[20:58] <cab938_> This is the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~gstreamer-developers/+archive/ppa
[20:58] <cab938_> I think I've added it correctly
[20:58] <guntbert> !enter | cab938_
[20:59] <cab938_> sry
[20:59] <nothingspecial> cab938_: did you update?
[20:59] <jigrap> is there a way to change the grub2 splash screen on an encrypted drive?
[20:59] <jigrap> in ubuntu 10.10
[21:00] <wyclif> Wow, had to go through FloodBot security, hadn't seen that in a while
[21:00] <smw> MrUnagi, you can make it so every time you login a cmd is run.
[21:00] <cab938_> I did update, nothingspecial , here was the output: http://pastebin.com/DAtELgjQ
[21:00] <hogdwarf> Is some app in mono default in ubuntu ?
[21:00] <zteam> cab938_:  well if you did, it should find it easily... :)
[21:00] <cab938_> It seems that the main launchpad was retrieved but the gstreamer one ignored.  No idea why this might be.
[21:01] <zaery> thiefy_ it depends on how the ram is bad. If it's broken in such a way that it acts as if it's not there, then you won't be getting into the bios with it.
[21:01] <zteam> cab938_: try to use apt-get search and see what it finds then
[21:01] <zaery> LOL, i was just reading something from a long time ago, i just didnt realize that the scrollbar was halfway up the screed :D
[21:01] <alaing> hi5 how do i use backtrack?
[21:02] <erUSUL> !backtrack
[21:02] <hi5> alaing: i think with a live cd
[21:02] <hogdwarf> Is Ubuntu prone to Mono exploit ?
[21:02] <hi5> if they have one either
[21:02] <smw> hogdwarf, not as far as I know
[21:03] <hi5> what kind of exploit is that? buffer overflow one?
[21:03] <livingdaylight> how do I uninstall an adobe application?
[21:03] <cab938_> zteam, When I run aptitude search gst-plugins-ugly0.10 I get nothing, just a little grind then another prompt
[21:03] <cragdor> Whats the correct channel for an issue with NVidia Binary Driver and 10.10, i have a GTS250, which is apparently not supported
[21:03] <hogdwarf> hi5: dunno what kind of it is
[21:03] <zteam> alaing: thanks for the tip, this one seems really promising
[21:03] <smw> livingdaylight, how did you install it?
[21:03] <hogdwarf> its local root privileges escalation
[21:03] <hogdwarf> arbitrary code execution
[21:03] <zaery> cab938_, do you have the right repositories on?
[21:03] <hi5> cragdor: you card HAS to be supported
[21:03] <alaing> I use it and its browser based.
[21:03] <hi5> how did you figured out the contrary?
[21:03] <alaing> zteam: no problems
[21:03] <livingdaylight> smw, its an adobe application so with Adobe
[21:04] <alaing> I'm starting to hate this wifi
[21:04] <hi5> hogdwarf: i see..a common one so
[21:04] <cragdor> It is supported according to Appendix A of the README, but ubuntu reports its not
[21:04] <hi5> i dont know btw
[21:04] <smw> livingdaylight, did you use a package?
[21:04] <smw> livingdaylight, was it just a random binary?
[21:04] <livingdaylight> smw, no, just right click and open with adobe
[21:04] <livingdaylight> smw, Spaz an adobe twitter client
[21:04] <hi5> cragdor: if i were i would try maybe the 10.04 version with a live cd and see if working
[21:05] <hogdwarf> its mentioned it was tested against Suse
[21:05] <deadsmith> Can someone tell me the correct way to boot to text login?  Should I create a functioning rc3, change rc2, or something else entirely?
[21:05] <hogdwarf> but
[21:05] <zteam> cab938_: well, try to search for gst-plugins or something instead then?
[21:05] <hi5> gts250 is quite old nowadays
[21:05] <smw> livingdaylight, no idea, sorry, I did not understand
[21:05] <alaing> oh do i revert back after doing make && make install. basically I wont to undo http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1016108
[21:05] <hogdwarf> i dont know any hardening part which are not included in suse
[21:05] <seul> people who were helping me earlier: ok so i reset the cmos battery and booted. Now I get "CMOS BATTERY LOW" and press f1 to resume. Is it normal to say that it is low here?
[21:06] <cragdor> hi5: Not that old..... Ubuntu 10.04 worked great but was a pain in the *** to install due to fake raid, this has only happened since upgrading to 10.10
[21:06] <cab938_> zteam, it still doesn't find it.  Is it normal for this ppa to be ignored on an apt-get update?
[21:06] <hi5> hogdwarf: that's a very technical issue..i bet maybe 10 of 1500 people here knows what you're talking about
[21:06] <hi5> seul maybe the battery has gone
[21:06] <hi5> but did you solve your previous problem?
[21:06] <azert> hi, what version of virtualbox should contain the ubuntu repo ?
[21:07] <hogdwarf> hi5: and i dont know if it has something to do with lsm
[21:07] <john24> how do i get rid of compiz?
[21:07] <azert> is the 3.X or 4.0 ?
[21:07] <seul> hi5: i have never even heard of people having to change their battery. I think that the earlier problem will come back after i exit the bios
[21:07] <zteam> seul: Nope, it isn't, try with replacing that battery
[21:07] <hi5> seul changing battery happens..usually because of a defective one
[21:07] <hi5> or after many time of use
[21:08] <guntbert> azert: you find that on the vbox website
[21:08] <hi5> or if you always unplug power when pc is off
[21:08] <hogdwarf> hi5: btw do you know how to compile mono app ? i think that PoC is in mono but never did that
[21:08] <john24> !compiz
[21:08] <mayra> Hi. I'm trying to permanently  add "noapic" to the grub2 menu, but when I restart it does not take effect. I have to manually edit the command in the boot menu in order to boot properly. I cannot boot if "noapic" is added to the command. I already tried "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" and added the command to it and it still does not work. Please help!
[21:08] <azert> ok thaanks guntbert
[21:08] <smw> !info virtualbox-ose | azert
[21:08] <seul> hi5: ok, is it a specific battery for the giabyte mb or can i take any old one?
[21:08] <pedro3005> if I have a PID, what command line tool can I use to find how much memory that process is using?
[21:08] <hi5> i dont know mate...compile is too hard for my knowledge yet :-D
[21:08] <erUSUL> mayra: after editing the file you have to run « sudo update-grub »
[21:08] <mayra> ohh..
[21:09] <erUSUL> mayra: after editing /etc/default/grub that's it
[21:09] <hi5> seul i guess you can take an old one, but check voltage!
[21:09] <mayra> haha
[21:09] <hi5> or you will fry the board
[21:09] <mayra> boy..let me try that.thank you
[21:09] <erUSUL> mayra: np
[21:09] <michi_> nabend
[21:09] <seul> hi5: ok. maybe i should just call the repair guy..
[21:09] <guntbert> !de | michi_
[21:09] <alaing> seul do a google. you may find batteries some where else
[21:10] <zteam> cab938_: I have no idea, what repository you use, but no, it should not ignore it, try did you get any errors from apt-get while you did apt-get update
[21:10] <hi5> seul even that...they are in the world just to fix things
[21:10] <alaing> and its simple to swap out
[21:10] <zteam> ?
[21:10] <mayra> erUSUL, ty, I will try it now!
[21:10] <michi_> thx for info
[21:10] <Leoneof> hello, somehow i have been installing modules, and then after restart my pc...the Sound doesn't work, there are volume but Hardware is none, how to fix it?
[21:10] <bactrim> i am running an old ibm thinkpad R31 installed now with your 10.10 version. problem with power management : laptop does not resume from sleep when closing lid (tried pressing everything) hibernation resume works ok. there seems to be a bug but can not decipher it well - some guidance would be appreciated thank you!
[21:10] <michi_> #ubuntu-de
[21:11] <alaing> i completely forgot about the cmos low battery warning.......man that brings back memorys
[21:11] <LoganJRuff> Where is the openoffice room?
[21:11] <guntbert> michi_: /join #ubuntu-de  :-))
[21:11] <erUSUL> LoganJRuff: /msg alis list *oppenoffice*
[21:11] <alaing> openoffice dont have an open door policy lol
[21:11] <thiefy_> seul, we are talking about a 2 dollar battery here....
[21:11] <michi_> thanks
[21:11] <guntbert> LoganJRuff: #openoffice.org
[21:11] <hi5> LoganJRuff: try anyway here
[21:11] <hi5> lol
[21:11] <LoganJRuff> Thanks guys
[21:11] <Leoneof> hello?
[21:11] <user> How do I add a user to users group?
[21:11] <thiefy_> seul, when you turn on the computer, tell us again what happens.
[21:12] <seul> thiefy_: yeah i dont care about the money, im just kinda depressed that it aint working.
[21:12] <seul> thiefy_: the fans go on at like full speed.  And how do I delete a user from a group?
[21:13] <Leoneof> erUSUL:  somehow i have been installing modules, and then after restart my pc...the Sound doesn't work, there are volume but Hardware is none, how to fix it?
[21:13] <alaing> hi5 yes i know i just remember it before pentiums started coming out
[21:13] <hi5> also a mojito will be highly appreciated :-D
[21:13] <thiefy_> seul, do you have a video card in that mofo?
[21:13] <zaery> seul, have you tried using only one stick of ram(assuming you have more than one)?
[21:13] <erUSUL> user: man userdel or use the users and groups gui system>admin...>user and groups
[21:13] <alaing> hi5 and of course the cmos hack of reseting the password
[21:13] <seul> thiefy: yes a radeon HD4850. I have ttried the onboard video aswell
[21:14] <seul> zaery: yes, someone told me to earlier.
[21:14] <alaing> OMG i reset my machine and hey the wifi is working wtf
[21:14] <user> erUSUL, I don't want to delete user, I just want to remove him from a group. I have only CLI.
[21:14] <erUSUL> Leoneof: define « installing modules, » what did you actually did?
[21:14] <thiefy_> what happens when you plug your monitor into the on board vid card?
[21:14] <zaery> seul, and you've tried each stick individually?
[21:14] <user> alaing: Yay.
[21:14]  * alaing was so close to kicking the side of his server to see if it was still working
[21:14] <thiefy_> alaing, that's cause i fixed it.   and hi5 helped too.
[21:14] <seul> zaery; yes.
[21:14] <thiefy_> alaing, you owe hi5 a beer.
[21:14] <Leoneof> erUSUL: i think it was about alsa :|
[21:14] <user> How do I list all groups here?
[21:15] <seul> thiefy: nothing. Still just a black screen.
[21:15] <alaing> lol I would buy you both a beer
[21:15] <erUSUL> Leoneof: what did you do? you followed a guide i can read or something?
[21:15] <user> How do I list all user groups here?
[21:15] <thiefy_> alaing, come to canada, i'll be waiting at the airport for you.
[21:16] <thiefy_> seul, when you boot that mofo, put your hand on the hard drive. do you feel it spinning?  or vibrating?
[21:16] <zteam> seul: so, all you get is a black screen after you picked out, the battery, is that correct?
[21:16] <guntbert> user: "here" being what? your ubuntu or this IRC network?
[21:16] <user> guntbert: ubuntu
[21:16] <seul> thiefy: uyes i have done that, its working
[21:16] <Leoneof> erUSUL: didn't follow any guide, but i was stupid enough to search and play about "modules" :(
[21:16] <guntbert> user: cat /etc/group
[21:17] <bactrim> i am running an old ibm thinkpad R31 installed now with your 10.10 version. problem with power management : laptop does not resume from sleep when closing lid (tried pressing everything) hibernation resume works ok. there seems to be a bug but can not decipher it well - some guidance would be appreciated thank you! btw i installed a dual boot xp OS on this too, and sleep/hibernate work fine on that end.
[21:17] <alaing> thiefy_: sounds like a threat lol....my wife will be happy once i get this server out of the lounge and into the spair room
[21:17] <seul> zteam: after i picked out the battery i goit this screen saying my battery was low. When i clicked f1 to continue pretty much nothing happen
[21:17] <thiefy_> seul, rip out all cards that you can. liket he vid card, the sound card, the network card, one of the ram dims... unplug the cd roms... everything you can so that it can still boot.
[21:17] <erUSUL> Leoneof: reaaly dunno; if i do not know what you did how are we supposed to fix it?
[21:17] <savid> Is it possible to upgrade a single package on my server without having to do an entire dist-upgrade?
[21:17] <Leoneof> erUSUL: :/
[21:17] <Irreducibilis> After running an update, my Ubuntu hard-froze and wouldn't even reply to SysRq + REISUB
[21:17] <user> savid: apt-get update packagename iirc
[21:17] <Irreducibilis> Why is this?
[21:18] <thiefy_> alaing, no no, not a threat, i will welcome you at the airport. but i will direct you to the lounge where you will be forced to buy me and hi5 a beer.
[21:18] <savid> user:  it says it's up-to-date, but it's an old version.
[21:18] <Irreducibilis> It returned to what appeared to be the boot screen but with the mouse visible, and it wouldn't move or respond
[21:18] <Irreducibilis> I had to pull the battery.
[21:18] <seul> thiefy_: hmm.. ill probably destroy something else. My history of "fixing" stuff is kinda bad.
[21:18] <Leoneof> erUSUL: brb
[21:18] <savid> I'm trying to update to git >=1.7
[21:18] <savid> currently have 1.6
[21:19] <thiefy_> seul, i wonder if the computer is getting enough power to fully boot. that is why i'm thinking to rip out things that are taking power.
[21:19] <zteam> seul: okey, here is what I would do in your place: 1. Remove the battery and take it to a clock store or some computer store.
[21:19] <seul> thiefy_: i doubt it. I have a 650W corsair..
[21:20] <|Bboy|> Anyone have experience in TerminatorX
[21:20] <thiefy_> seul how old is that computer?
[21:20] <hi5> thiefy_: so you got a beer also for you..well made
[21:20] <thiefy_> that is why i'm here hi5. to earn beers.
[21:20] <zteam> seul: 2. After you done that, you may use  "Ultimate Boot CD" to check your hardware
[21:20] <seul> thiefy_: about 1.5 years. All new components
[21:21] <thiefy_> i really doubt the battery died in 1.5 years. i have computers that are 7 years old and the battery i just fine in them.
[21:21] <seul> zteam: kinda hard to do that, considering how i cant even reach bios.
[21:21] <hi5> like homer?
[21:21] <user> How do I install it? -su: groupdel: command not found
[21:21] <seul> thiefy_: exactly, i have too. I see no reasong why it should have died. Worked fine like 5 hours ago.
[21:21] <thiefy_> hi5, yeah, beer makes it all worthwile.
[21:21] <zaery> seul, i don't suppose you have a cpu that'll fit in that socket and some extra thermal paste, do you?
[21:22] <hi5> you said that
[21:22] <hi5> but mojito is not bad either
[21:22] <seul> zaery: no i dont.
[21:22] <thiefy_> i don't think i've ever had one of those. but we can't speak of this or some op will tell us we are off topic and take it to some other channel.
[21:22] <MrUnagi> is there a way to grep a log for an exact phrase and take those entries and put it in a new file?
[21:22] <shcherbak> |Bboy|: Use tmux or screen to enrich your expirience.
[21:23] <thiefy_> seul, did you remove the battery from the motherboard?
[21:23] <zteam> seul: Yes, that's why I suggest you take your cmos-battery to a computer store, so they can replace it for you
[21:23] <seul> thiefy_: yes i removed it, waited a little, and put it right back in.
[21:23] <seul> zteam: ok, ill look into that.
[21:23] <alaing> thiefy_: I would buy you and hi5 a beer regardless......I'm based in UK btw
[21:23] <thiefy_> seul, do that again, but this time turn off the power supply, unplug the computer, remove the batt and wait 45 seconds, then plug everything back in. that'll totally reset the cmos.
[21:24] <thiefy_> alaing, ok, we will fly there then.
[21:24] <upsla> hi i have usb adsl modem .i ubable to connect to internet. can some body help ????????????????????
[21:24] <zteam> seul: AFTER you try that, you should hopefully be able to use Ultimate boot cd to check your hardware
[21:24] <hi5> alaing: maybe i lost your topic, did you sorted out your issue?
[21:24] <|Bboy|> shcherbak: are you sure that was meant for me?
[21:24] <zteam> seul: :-)

[21:25] <shcherbak> |Bboy|: you talk of terminatorx, many terminals "glued", right?
[21:25] <upsla> hi i have usb adsl modem .i ubable to connect to internet. can some body help ????????????????????
[21:26] <thiefy_> upsla, short answer is - use an ethernet connection. it works much better than a usb connection for the modem. do you have that option?
[21:26] <|Bboy|> scherbak: no.. i was referring to the dj program in ubuntu http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/terminatorx
[21:26] <upsla> thiefy_:no.
[21:26] <hi5> ok nice
[21:26] <shcherbak> |Bboy|: sorry, wrong
[21:26] <thiefy_> upsla, what is the model number of that modem?
[21:27] <hi5> the power of reboot xd
[21:27] <|Bboy|> scherbak: but thank you.. trying to find out why it does not work on my box
[21:27] <upsla> thiefy_:beetel 100cx with conexant chipset
[21:27] <thiefy_> |Bboy|,  i had a girl friend with that problem. mine didn't work on her box ever.
[21:28] <zteam> hi5: Yes, the most useful computer command ever ;D
[21:28] <Sevdalin> how to active my touchpad on my laptop
[21:28] <|Bboy|> i like pandora... never got to open her box though
[21:28] <upsla> thiefy_:beetel 100cx with conexant chipset
[21:28] <thiefy_> haaahah
[21:28] <|Bboy|> thiefy: not sur if that was a joke.. but chimed in none the less
[21:28] <madsj> hi; how do I enable completion for arguments to e.g., sudo and man?
[21:28] <madsj> in the terminal
[21:28] <IdleOne> !ohmy | |Bboy|  thiefy_
[21:29] <shcherbak> alaing: London
[21:29] <|Bboy|> understood.
[21:29] <IdleOne> thank you.
[21:29] <thiefy_> :)
[21:29] <|Bboy|> So if anybody has experience with terminatorx.. please pm me
[21:29] <alaing> shcherbak: a bit more specific london is a fuck off big place :P
[21:29] <shcherbak> alaing: atm, w2
[21:30] <upsla> hi i have usb adsl modem .i ubable to connect to internet. can some body help ????????????????????
[21:30] <feder87> hey guys, how long do you think dd /dev/zero /dev/sda should take? sda is 160G on an intel atom
[21:30] <thiefy_> upsla, it seems these people have solved your problem:     http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1663131
[21:31] <shcherbak> |Bboy|: Well me your system spec, have night off, so happy to experiment.
[21:31] <alaing> ok ok I work in SW1H but live out of london
[21:31] <rubbs> feder87: /dev/zero is a special file. There is not end to that file. It will fill your hard drive with zeros...
[21:31] <rubbs> feder87: oh, wait, that may be what you desired... sorry
[21:31] <namnatulco> does anyone know more about linux support for ralink rt3090 wireless devices? I tried to get it working using a fresh 10.10 x64 (through wubi), but I couldn't get it to work, and after further googling, I found this: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2010-November/002310.html
[21:31] <|Bboy|> shcherbak:  will do when i get to the crib
[21:31] <feder87> rubbs: yeah, that's what I need to do. wipe the entire thing!
[21:31] <upsla> thiefy_:no thats why i am here.
[21:32] <feder87> but is there a way to figure how much longer I got with that?
[21:32] <thiefy_> upsla, you tried what they tried?
[21:32] <namnatulco> feder87: if you know the average writing speed of the drive, sure
[21:32] <rubbs> feder87: not really. it all depends on how fast your drive is.
[21:32] <upsla> thiefy_:i don't want to ask isp.so i want other solutions.
[21:32] <guntbert> !language | alaing
[21:33] <thiefy_> feder87, an easy way to wipe a hard drive is dban  google it. i don't see why you would need to dd a whole load of zeros...
[21:33] <JackSTEAM> Hi, just need some help. I want to get steam working under wine. However i have read that i can basically use the games from the windows side of the machine rarther than having to redownload. but im having problems 'mounting' the drive.
[21:33] <Guest92649> woohoo! it's a girl!
[21:33] <alaing> shcherbak: ok ok I work in SW1H but live out of london
[21:33] <upsla> thiefy_:i don't want to ask isp.so i want other solutions.
[21:34] <feder87> so I guess this could take forever
[21:34] <Guest92649> hi lisa1 *shyly*
[21:34] <IdleOne> !girl | Guest92649
[21:34] <alaing> sorry guntbert
[21:34] <Guest92649> lmao @ idleone!
[21:35] <thiefy_> there is a girl in here!!!!?
[21:35] <lisa1> hi Guest92649
[21:35] <thiefy_> amazing!
[21:35] <lisa1> :-)
[21:35] <Chilaquiles> hey guys, where are usually saved the files that are downloaded from the internet?
[21:35]  * Guest92649 giggles and runs off
[21:35] <Chilaquiles> what's the directory?
[21:35] <Mad_Dud> Hi guys. which repository to add to 10.10? i need linux linux-headers-2.6.37 package
[21:36] <thiefy_> Chilaquiles, i think it defaults to /home/yourusername/Downloads
[21:36] <lisa1> Guest92649 where are you from?
[21:36] <upsla> thiefy_:r u there ??
[21:36] <jimlee> hi all, i could not install wine
[21:36] <Guest92649> ok... guys, GUYS! I don't want to alarm you, but there could be a girl or girlS on the channel!
[21:36] <thiefy_> upsla, i am... i'm thinking.
[21:36] <hi5> the /home Chilaquiles
[21:36] <guntbert> !ot | lisa1 Guest92649
[21:36] <upsla> thiefy_:ok
[21:36] <thiefy_> Guest92649, mark this in your calendar! this is amazing!
[21:36] <jimlee> please do help me to install wine.
[21:37] <Chilaquiles> cool thiefy_ thanks!
[21:37] <IdleOne> jimlee: sudo apt-get install wine
[21:37] <zteam> JackSTEAM: You can try to use PlayOnLinux to get Steam working, but most of the time, it don't works
[21:37] <thiefy_> guest, you can type /nick somethingsoemthing so you don't have to be a guest393923032423
[21:37] <zaery> !details | jimlee
[21:37] <Chilaquiles> is there any manual in where it explains what is every directory in linux for?
[21:37]  * alaing wonders is lisa1 is going to get naked lol
[21:38] <Chilaquiles> because coming from windows is kind of confusing for me to  see all this directories
[21:38] <IdleOne> !codeofconduct | alaing
[21:38] <user> Chilaquiles, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html
[21:38] <Chilaquiles> and to know what is each one for
[21:38] <user> yeah.
[21:38] <thiefy_> Chilaquiles, there are some books on linux (ubuntu) that would explain those very well. the only one i can remember is called ubuntu unleashed. but i bet there are newer ones that woudl be more up to date.
[21:38] <alaing> sorry did not mean to offend anyone
[21:38] <guntbert> Chilaquiles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[21:38] <JackSTEAM> zteam: i've already got steam installed via wine and its fine. i just need to somehow 'sync' my games from windows. i read; http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux
[21:38] <thiefy_> lisa1, how you doin?
[21:39] <zaery> JackSteam, which games in particular?
[21:39] <adac> Streming from youtube and other sources in the internet with vlc. Is this still buggy or is ther something wrong with my internet connection? seems like it hangs all the time. Here are some warnings and errors: http://pastie.org/1449389
[21:39] <alaing> thiefy_: was that said in the way that Joey from friends says it?
[21:39] <adac> tested on two pcs seems to be the same on both
[21:39] <lisa1> oh just lovely, but somebody told to shut up about all conversations that don't have to do with Ubuntu, so I better leave it at that
[21:39] <thiefy_> alaing, yes. it was. haaaaaaaah.
[21:39] <zteam> Chilaquiles: Well, this one is pretty good
[21:40] <Chilaquiles> thanks thiefy_  user and guntbert that was helpful
[21:40] <JackSTEAM> zaery, TF2 is the main one. But WoW would be another that i'd like
[21:40] <thiefy_> now to help lisa...
[21:40] <zteam> Chilaquiles https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/linux-basics.html
[21:40] <zaery> adac, could it be your internet connection? is youtube slow on the website?
[21:40]  * alaing offers thiefy_ a swap beer or the bird lol
[21:40] <chowder> Ok. So I installed enlightenment e17 from the repos. Enlightenment works well but the gnome-panel doesn't start up automatically anymore. I now have to open a terminal and manually start it. Any ideas?
[21:41] <guntbert> alaing: please stop those off topic comments
[21:41] <alaing> ok sorry
[21:41] <zaery> JackSteam, in that case, i highly suggest just going with steam in wine, and reading http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9901
[21:41] <upsla> thiefy_:r u there ??
[21:41] <thiefy_> i am upsla
[21:41] <thiefy_> are you?
[21:41] <thiefy_> lisa1 is here with me.
[21:41] <upsla> thiefy_:ryes
[21:41] <alaing> how much of a mission is it to updata ubuntu 8.04 to latest distro
[21:42] <alaing> its currently running on a acer aspire netbook
[21:42] <adac> zaery, my internet is indeed not the fastest lately. i will try it on a faster conection tomorrow.
[21:42] <chowder> alaing, you can't. You need to do a fresh install. You can not update from 8.04 to 10.10.
[21:42] <alaing> not even update from 8.04 to 9.04 then 10?
[21:42] <JabberWalkie_> I have a program in python that is asking for python 2.7 or greater, how do I install it? Will I mess up my system if I just download the source and make install?
[21:43] <JackSTEAM> zarry, i have seen that before. but i'd rarther not redownload it all. http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux has a section about symlink your steamapps folder but i'm unsure how
[21:43] <iflema> alaing: goto software sources and set it to normal release and update then upgrade = 8.04 -> 10.04
[21:43] <IdleOne> !upgrade > alaing
[21:43] <chowder> alaing, you will most likely run into issues if you do it that way. You'll also take a whole lot longer. Weird things happen when you update. In my opinion, a fresh install is best.
[21:43] <upsla> alaing:it will be waste of time.just download 10.10 if u want to be up to date.
[21:44] <chowder> alaing, just make sure you back up all your stuff. Another tip: if you haven't already, keep your personal information on a separate partition.
[21:44] <alaing> is this why its better to keep on top of releases?
[21:44] <rvdavid> thiefy_ yeah thanks for the tip brother, I was actually testing nickserv killed imposters using my name, but then got _totally_ distracted when a girl came in lol back on T.
[21:44] <Rubberduck_LV> alaing: You can do it, but you'll regret it! Do a clean new install..
[21:44] <zaery> JackSteam, what part of http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux#Save_space_on_dual-boot_machines is causing the confusion?
[21:45] <upsla> alaing:absoluetly.
[21:45] <dajhorn> JabberWalkie: Don't install Python 2.7 over top of the Ubuntu package.  Python is an important system component.  Install to /usr/local or try to find a PPA package for it on Launchpad.
[21:45] <thiefy_> upsla, i'm still researching, hold on.
[21:45] <cyril> Hello all, I am running eclipse under ubuntu and started a php project using symfony with doctrine. I would like an advice on which visual modelling tool to use in order to generate yaml files for doctrine...
[21:45] <alaing> I suppose its a good way to get rid of the bloat
[21:45] <upsla> thiefy_:k
[21:45] <chowder> alaing, yep. It is a lot better to keep on top of releases. If you want to save all of your packages so you don't have to reinstall you may wanna check out apt-on-cd.
[21:45] <thiefy_> rvdavid, lisa1 is very pretty, you should see her smile. very nice.
[21:45] <JackSTEAM> zaery, the part with the command for terminal. i get an error, when i checked the error it seems i need to 'mount' the windows drive. but i don't know how
[21:46] <chowder> cyril, you may wanna check out a dev channel.
[21:46] <zteam> lisa1: Well, you can ask almost anything about Ubuntu here
[21:46] <cyril> @chowder, yes, any suggestion?
[21:46] <alaing> i'm going to be running my headless ubuntu server how do i set it up to auto update if the need arises
[21:46] <chowder> cyril, I think there's an ubuntu-developers channel
[21:46] <alaing> and add it to a cron jon before it shutdowns in the evening
[21:46]  * iflema updates/upgrades just fine :P
[21:47] <tensorpudding> alaing: are you sure you want it to update automatically?
[21:47] <cyril> @chowder ok, thks
[21:47] <hi5> where can i find out why linux wont shutdown my pc anymore?
[21:47] <hi5> reboot either not working
[21:47] <chowder> hi5: google
[21:47] <rvdavid> thiefy_ d*mn you! you got a pic! I definitely should take macking classes from you! :P
[21:47] <zaery> JackSteam, when you click on "places", do you see an entry that says 200gb filesystem(or however big your windows partition is)?
[21:47] <hi5> you are of little help here so
[21:48] <JackSTEAM> zaery, no i don't
[21:48] <upsla> ubottu:!auto update
[21:48] <tensorpudding> alaing: but you can use aptitude's -y option to obviate any user input
[21:48] <upsla> ubottu:!auto update
[21:49] <upsla> thiefy_:any suggestions ???????
[21:49] <alaing> !auto update
[21:49] <chowder> hi5: sorry :p but you should've made a more specific query. Running in here blindly asking for help will get you nowhere, at least with me. Google has solved many of my problems without me having to bother anyone. Forums and IRC should be your last stop.
[21:49] <tensorpudding> !auto-update
[21:49] <zaery> JackSteam, are there any filesystems on the left bar of a nautilus window?
[21:49] <tensorpudding> !autoupdate
[21:49] <alaing> !auto-update
[21:49] <JackSTEAM> zaery, come again? not sure what you mean
[21:50] <alaing> tensorpudding: what does that command do
[21:50] <tensorpudding> but anyway
[21:50] <upsla> ubottu:!update
[21:50] <zaery> jacksteam, if you open up your home folder, there's a bat on the left with things like "Documents" "Music", etc, right?
[21:50] <tensorpudding> aptitude update; aptitude upgrade will update package definitions and upgrade packages
[21:50] <zaery> jacksteam: a bar, not a bat
[21:50] <hi5> chowder: buy maybe someone else got a very similar problem, so we can figure it out however
[21:50] <tensorpudding> using the -y option, it will automatically assume [yes] to all questions
[21:50] <upsla> thiefy_:any suggestions ???????
[21:51] <thiefy_> rvdavid, i will share her, but you have to come to canada.
[21:51] <tensorpudding> and you can pipe the text output to a logfile, and put it in cron to be run however often you want
[21:51] <thiefy_> upsla, this link looks good: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2006-August/027978.html        but i fear it is quite hard to accomplish what you want to do.
[21:51] <hi5> searching in google can be very painful and timeless
[21:51] <sniperjo_> following http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 i should be able to use xrandr over ssh like : xrandr -display :0.0, but i still get a "cant open display" any ideas ?
[21:51] <JackSTEAM> zaery, yes
[21:51] <alaing> so if i add a crontab to aptitude -y it shoudl auto update?
[21:51] <zaery> jacksteam, do any of those say filesystem?
[21:52] <tensorpudding> aptitude update; aptitude upgrade -y
[21:52] <alaing> its just a webserver so not to concerned
[21:52] <upsla> thiefy_:i tried that one too.!!!!!!!!!!
[21:52] <JackSTEAM> zaery yes
[21:52] <alaing> tensorpudding: both of those commands?
[21:52] <tensorpudding> yes
[21:52] <zvrk> hi5, did you try 'shoutdown -h now' in terminal
[21:53] <tensorpudding> the former updates the package database, the latter parses the package databse to find any packages which can be upgraded to a new version, and their dependencies, and installs them
[21:53] <zaery> jacksteam, click it, see if you get something with a "Documents and settings" folder and a "program files" folder
[21:53] <alaing> I alsoready have @midnight shutdown -h now can i add those commands before the shutdown
[21:53] <upsla> thiefy:i tried that one too.!!!!!!!!!!
[21:53] <hi5> i will, thanks; it just plays the logout music but no more
[21:53] <thiefy> upsla, it really seems difficult to get that to work. i would try a different modem. one that is NOT usb.
[21:53] <tensorpudding> you have it set to automatically shut down?
[21:53] <zvrk> hi5, or did you try ' reboot' in terminal
[21:53] <thiefy> hi5 i changed my mind, you can have lisa. me and rvdavid have discovered something that you should know.
[21:54] <upsla> bye allll
[21:54] <thiefy> good  luck upsla :(
[21:54] <IdleOne> thiefy: drop the off topic comments or i will be forced to drop you.
[21:54] <JackSTEAM> zarey, i just see bin, boot, cdrom etc
[21:54] <hi5> maybe you can made it a bit clear though..in pvt
[21:54] <tensorpudding> you could write a small script and put it in cron.daily
[21:54] <upsla> thiefy:thk
[21:54] <alaing> tensorpudding: yes as no one will be using the server so i shut it down and my bios boots up the machine again in the morning
[21:54] <tensorpudding> automatic updates does mean that you might have kernel updates which cause breakage
[21:55] <tensorpudding> though kernel updates causing non-booting systems is rare nowadays methinks
[21:55] <rvdavid> ngawww there goes the one girl I'll ever see for a while... *cue wawawa music*
[21:55] <alaing> breakage in what sense?
[21:56] <tensorpudding> a regression that causes it to not boot on your machine
[21:56] <alaing> sorry missed you last msg
[21:56] <tensorpudding> you could change it so that it updates at midnight, then upgrades, then shuts down
[21:56] <zaery> jacksteam, oops, that's the filesystem you're in right now, is there another filesystem in the left bar?
[21:56] <alaing> maybe I should just remember to check for updates everynow and again
[21:56] <JackSTEAM> zaery not there isn't
[21:57] <alaing> Ihave  got putty setup on my iphone and my other client machine so I may just telnet in and do the updates
[21:57] <zaery> jacksteam, open up disk utility
[21:58] <JackSTEAM> zaery, yes
[21:58] <zaery> jacksteam, select your ntfs partition and mount it
[21:58] <tensorpudding> you could write a script which updates, then shuts down, and put it in /etc/cron.d
[21:59] <JackSTEAM> zaery, erm, i'm not sure which is the ntfs partition
[21:59] <zaery> jacksteam, you have the hard drive with your windows partition selected on the left bar of disk utility, correct?
[22:00] <JackSTEAM> zaery, yes. it says 'unmount' so i'm guessing it is mounted?
[22:00] <alaing> ivve never writen a script before
[22:01] <zaery> jacksteam, there's a big white(or grey) bar in the middle of the screen, above unmount, right, with multiple parts that each say XXX GB ext4 or XXX gb swap, right?
[22:01] <chowder> alaing, have you ever written any kind of program?
[22:01] <JackSTEAM> zaery, under volumes?
[22:01] <zaery> yup
[22:01] <alaing> no I'm more a javascript, pl/sql, sql kind of guy
[22:02] <alaing> vba but i dont like to advertise that
[22:02] <fanthomas> who has some experience with bluetooth in ubuntu? I'm trying to connect to Network Access Point, but blueman says Connection Failed: Network Manager Failed to activate the connection
[22:02] <JackSTEAM> zaery, might be worth mentioning i did install ubuntu via wubi. incase that helps
[22:02] <chowder> alaing, if you can do js you can write a simple script
[22:03] <alaing> any do tutorial
[22:03] <alaing> do=good
[22:03] <chowder> alaing, there's a few bash tutorials out there. You just have to find one. Google it up.
[22:03] <zaery> jacksteam, well, i don't know how to access windows partitions on a wubi install then, sorry :/
[22:03] <ubuntu> o/
[22:03] <alaing> sweet thanks guys for all your help.

[22:06] <earwigs> pdignan: use the liveCD and start up gpart
[22:06] <gccster> guys how can i insert a string in line number X of a file with bash?
[22:07] <earwigs> pdignan: also, are you running a fake raid?
[22:07] <pdignan> earwigs: nope.  i'll try that though
[22:07] <dardan> hello, does anybody know how to install stacks on docky?
[22:07] <earwigs> pdignan: oh, think i got the name wrong, but theres a partition utility in your system menu on the liveCD
[22:07] <pdignan> earwigs: i understand what you meant ;)
[22:08] <pdtpatrick> \quit
[22:08] <zaery> earwigs, pdignan, it's GPartEd
[22:08] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> dajhorn I did not export the vdisk but my vdisk is kept on my dropbox which backs it up. I was able to run the VM when I first built this ubuntu server. Then now that I have reinstalled ubuntu server and virtualbox it doesn't seem to like that vdisk anymore I mount the vdisk that is kept on my dropbox directory though.
[22:08] <pdignan> zaery: thanks
[22:08] <earwigs> zaery: thanks! thats what i meant.
[22:08] <antlong> anyone know what package you need to view flash videos on chrome, on ubuntu
[22:09] <zaery> earwigs, it's also the only thing that starts with "Gpart" in the system menu, so you got it close enough :)
[22:09] <earwigs> zaery: :P
[22:09] <andrewax> Hi
[22:09] <andrewax> why do caps lock led doesn't works on text mode?
[22:09] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> dajhorn previously, i was able to boot the vm from either my windows server or my windows 7 machine. Then i moved it to my new ubuntu server it worked until my server overheated then i had to rebuild the server. Now i've rebuilt the server and it doesn't like the vdisk anymore T.T
[22:10] <earwigs> antlong: install the Ubuntu Restricted extras
[22:10] <delaware> has anyone had a problem with using k9copy to backup dvd's?  some of the movies i've backed up have problems playing on my standalone tv media player (it does read most iso images great) but the iso's that give me problems on the media player play flawlessly in movie player or vlc.
[22:10] <dajhorn> NeedsHelpWithBoo: Look at the vbox configuration file and notice how it uses uuids.  Everything must match exactly.   Try an export/import.
[22:10] <earwigs> antlong: via the Ubuntu software center.
[22:10] <fishscene> NVM! found the link to my issue... turns out none of my songs are in Mp3 format.
[22:10] <antlong> thanks

[22:11] <dajhorn> NeedsHelpWithBoo: This is a primary design mistake in Virtual Box: You can't easily move or restore vbox machines because of the way it registers vdisks.   You'll probably need to do a web search and find a walkthrough on how to fix this.
[22:12] <JackSTEAM> zaery, did all that. it says its launching but the nothing happens.
[22:13] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> dajhorn okay thanks, I'll try to do the import/export now, the bad this is because I thought it can be done this way and i had previously got it to work on a few machines i didn't do a export/import so now i'm more or less screwed with my svn source stuck in there.
[22:13] <zaery> jacksteam, so all of the commands worked, but now steam won't start nicely?
[22:13] <fuad> hi
[22:13] <charles> hi
[22:13] <JackSTEAM> zaery, steam works just fine but the games just don't want to load
[22:13] <dajhorn> NeedsHelpWithBoo: If you get to the point where the vbox instance attaches the vdisk, then try to boot the virtual machine at the grub prompt by changing the UUID= to /dev/sda1.
[22:14] <earwigs> ubuntu as a games box? strange.
[22:14] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> dajhorn ok i'll try that too thank you.
[22:14] <Danielc1234> hi all, I just downloaded this package libperl5.10_5.10.1-12ubuntu2_amd64.deb , how do I run install this package?
[22:14] <dajhorn> NeedsHelpWithBoo: Welcome.  BTW,  you're not screwed.  You've just got an incompletely restored vbox configuration.
[22:15] <dreewill> danielc1234: sudo dpkg -i libperl5.10_5.10.1-12ubuntu2_amd64.deb
[22:16] <Giles> how can I setup a cron job to execute once a year (if off topic then please advise room)
[22:16] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> dajhorn I just realised the (initramfs)
[22:16] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> a is shell prompt so i might be able to recover my code even if i can't restore the vm :D
[22:16] <Danielc1234> dreewill: thanks a lot, do I have to restart?
[22:16] <zaery> jacksteam, so steam sees that the games are downloaded, but doesn't start them?
[22:16] <illuminaris> I'm having trouble running wow. I've the latest version of ubuntu and wine.  I tried adding the SET gxApi "opengl" line to my Config.wtf but for some reason the graphics are super laggy and I often get an error that kicks me out of the game before it even loads.
[22:16] <dreewill> Danielc1234: don't think so but i'm not sure
[22:17] <Danielc1234> dreewill: would you happen to know where I have to set the server up to listen for an ip address? I have a public ip that I want to use for this server?
[22:17] <JackSTEAM> zaery, i right click steam select TF2 it shows TF is starting then friends list shows as in-game not a second later it shows im not? very confusing
[22:17] <dajhorn> NeedsHelpWithBoo: If you don't care about the VM, I'm pretty sure that Virtual Box has an option to mount the vdisk on loopback.  You could just copy your assets out of the vdisk using the host operating system.
[22:19] <Laurenceb_> hi
[22:19] <Laurenceb_> ive got ssh into a machine with no X forwarding
[22:19] <Laurenceb_> how can install a package from ftp  ?
[22:19] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> dajhorn thanks for that, will try that as a last resort to save my assets. cheers!
[22:19] <dreewill> Danielc1234: sorry no idea
[22:19] <illuminaris> How do I install the proprietary drivers for an ATI Radeon 9700?
[22:20] <Danielc1234> anyone know how to correctly have the ip address in the interfaces file?
[22:20] <thieven`> illuminaris, go to system - then administration - then select additional drivers. does it show up there for you?
[22:21] <Danny78> I have an xfce panel app and system monitor saying my CPU is running at 100%, but IRC is all I am using.  It's a 1.7GHz AMD Athlon XP
[22:21] <Danny78> any suggestions on what to do to fix this before it burns itself out?
[22:21] <thieven`> illuminaris, this should be helpful to you:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[22:21] <illuminaris> thieven` no it doesn't show up, it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[22:22] <zaery> jacksteam, try the second to last comment on this page: http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=5823&iVersionId=9901&iThreadId=65048
[22:22] <thieven`> Danny78, in the terminal type 'top'   that'll show you what is running and going crazy.
[22:22] <illuminaris> apparently it's a 9600 not 9700
[22:22] <Danny78> everything is going smoothly...  could it just be bad data on both parts?
[22:22] <thieven`> illuminaris, that is ok, that site should do the job.
[22:24] <illuminaris> thieven` thank you
[22:24] <kinabalu> hey guys, i changed my default shell to zsh with chsh ... but every terminal I open still has it as /bin/bash, wtf?
[22:24] <thieven`> illuminaris, i find that ati graphics cards are quite annoying with linux.
[22:25] <illuminaris> thieven` my 9600 isn't supported by the proprietary drivers listed in the guide :(
[22:25] <dAND3h> Hi guys, I was wondering  why, when I run Steam in ubuntu, it closes as soon as it loads up...even though I installed it through wine?
[22:25] <thieven`> kinabalu, if you go to system - admin - then to users and groups. if you click on the advanced button with your username selected, in there there is an advanced tab. in there you can set the shell to use.
[22:26] <hi5> illuminaris: that doesnt make sense - 9600 should be supported since 10 years
[22:26] <alg0rithm> what's the best way to allow an /etc/init.d/<scriptname> here prompt for a password when starting up
[22:27] <Danny78> thieven:  thanks, it's primegrid (boinc)
[22:27] <alg0rithm> I want to be able to use the --daemon option
[22:27] <illuminaris> hi5 so what should i do? install the driver anyway even though it's not listed?
[22:27] <kinabalu> thieven`: yeah, it's changed there.  i assume its the same as chsh
[22:27] <hi5> cant you use it only with open one?
[22:28] <illuminaris> hi5 i have no idea
[22:28] <JackSTEAM> zaery, thankyou ever so much, its working now. any problems i'll be sure to ask :)
[22:28] <hi5> i mean the open driver
[22:29] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> dajhorn thanks for helping me out, I followed your advise to check the settings and found that my vm's hdd was mounted as a SATA drive instead of it's original's SCSI. All is well now, I can browse my repository. cheers!
[22:29] <dajhorn> NeedsHelpWithBoo: Welcome.
[22:29] <minimec> illuminaris: There is no resstricted driver for the ATI 9600 anymore. ATI stopped support two years ago. On the other hand, the R300 chip series (ATI 9xxx) is the best supported chip with the opensource driver.
[22:29] <dAND3h> Hi guys, I was wondering why, when I run Steam in ubuntu, it closes as soon as it loads up...even though I installed it through wine?
[22:29] <GatorAlli> Hello, is there any way for me to run a browser(firefox) on ubuntu server, and make a script that would have it load a webpage and return the rendered html?
[22:30] <GatorAlli> give the browser an html file ("<html><body><script>dicument.write("Hello World!")</script></body></html>")
[22:30] <GatorAlli> and the browser should give me back : <html><body>Hello World!</body></html>
[22:30] <thieven`> kinabalu, maybe... i am sorry, that is all i know about that issue. hehe. i'm not as smart as i seem.
[22:30] <illuminaris> minimec for some reason i can't run wow, the graphics are ultra laggy and it keeps crashing before i can get in, any ideas? should i be using opengl? should i not?
[22:30] <thieven`> illuminaris, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Maverick_Installation_Guide          this seems to have the answer. it appears the open source drivers can work. they don't get the full effects, but they seem to be able to work.
[22:31] <antlong> illuminaris, fresh air.
[22:31] <illuminaris> thieven` i'm checking it now
[22:31] <minimec> illuminaris: You may have optimal support with the gallium drivers from the xedgers ppa, but specially the ATI 9600 works pretty well with the norml mesa opengl driver (I have one in an old HP laptop)
[22:31] <illuminaris> antlong, lol
[22:31] <hi5> illuminaris: keep in mind that 9600 has little features for nowadays
[22:32] <zaery> jacksteam: yay! I'm glad i could help!

[22:33] <Guybrush88> antlong, not sure of what?
[22:34] <antlong> when a new version is coming out
[22:34] <Guybrush88> ok
[22:34] <illuminaris> thieven` it says right at the top my card is not supported, i don't understand, how is that guide supposed to help?
[22:34] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> antlong: thanks for that i'll follow through and see if i can get the temperatures down. Can you tell me a rough gauge of what the 'normal' temperatures should be?
[22:35] <hi5> illuminaris: maybe full effects arent, but it cant be unsupported out of the box
[22:35] <antlong> NeedsHelpWithBoo, probably like 100F-120F
[22:36] <illuminaris> hi5 it's not saying my card is unsupported by ubuntu, it's saying that the proprietary drivers are not available, i can only use open source drivers with the 9600
[22:36] <thieven`> illuminaris, i read on a site that the open source drivers worked. but that was quite old. and i don't know how credible that website is.    i'm sorry.
[22:36] <illuminaris> my comp is running fine, i just need to get wow working...
[22:36] <hi5> and so the issue is?
[22:36] <hi5> oh
[22:36] <illuminaris> hi5 and thieven` the issue is that when i try to start wow up, it lags at the load screen real bad and then when i log in and try to get into a character it crashes
[22:36] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> antlong: wow thats about 38 degrees celsius so my server is running at double that temp now.
[22:37] <neil_d> I have a new ltsp setup! but the client logins are not reliable... the correct name and password sometimes get refused by the server... is there anything that can be done about this?
[22:37] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> antlong: alright then thanks for that info, I'll try to follow the guide to get to that temp. Cheers!
[22:37] <antlong> NeedsHelpWithBoo, desktop?
[22:37] <hi5> illuminaris: other games are fine?

[22:37] <antlong> NeedsHelpWithBoo, shit, i would probably try to jack up the fan speed, but something is def wrong. how old is it?
[22:37] <Bardes> Does anyone know a way to recover an ext4 partition
[22:37] <thieven`> illuminaris, it seems that the support that the open source drives give for that card suck.   seems that it's doing all it can but the support is not good enough.
[22:37] <illuminaris> hi5 i haven't tried other games
[22:38] <MrUnagi> is it possible to grep or otherwise take an ip that is in a text file and put it in a new txt file?
[22:38] <thieven`> Bardes, parted magic is a great distro. testdisk is an app that can help which comes with it.
[22:38] <brontoeee> a suggestion for nice mootools gallery creation software?
[22:38] <hi5> keep in mind that your card could possibly be simply non enough for games - at least in linux
[22:38] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> antlong: its about 2-3 years old. It used to run windows server2003 with no overheating problems running about the same amount of apps though.
[22:38] <Bardes> I have UBCD here it has testdisk
[22:39] <Bardes> how do I use testdisk?
[22:39] <aeon-ltd> MrUnagi: i'm not sure, but maybe grep then cat the output?
[22:39] <MrUnagi> aeon-ltd: that will cat the entire line.....which i have done......i was hoping for a way to grab the ip from each line
[22:39] <thieven`> Bardes, that is quite  general question. it'd be best to look here for help with it:  http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[22:39] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, grep '^[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}$'  file.txt > newfile.txt
[22:40] <MrUnagi> pure_hate: i thought it would be something like that
[22:40] <minimec> illuminaris: Here's a recent ati GPU test. --> The x1950 is also based on the R300 chip... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_driver_q111&num=1
[22:40] <MrUnagi> pure_hate: is that perl?
[22:40] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, no
[22:40] <pure_hate> Just grep
[22:40] <Bardes> OK
[22:40] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> antlong: I think the problem is fan control too so hopefully that guide helps me bump up the fan speed. I have a small usb cooler stand it's sitting on now to try and keep the temps down. over the weekend it overheated consistently when i tried to convert videos using handbrake.
[22:40] <MrUnagi> pure_hate: so that info is in the man?
[22:40] <minimec> illuminaris: WOW will be limit with the opensource driver.
[22:40] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, yup
[22:41] <MrUnagi> pure_hate: i apologize
[22:41] <canon> Pure_hate: aren't you usually in backtrack?
[22:41] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, It can be done many ways, thats just the first one I thought off, sed and awk can do it too
[22:41] <antlong> NeedsHelpWithBoo, hmnnn, maybe software related actually
[22:41] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, Why in the world are you apologizing
[22:41] <antlong> NeedsHelpWithBoo, i would see if your drivers are optimal/updated
[22:41] <pure_hate> canon, yes I come out to play sometimes
[22:42] <canon> lol, right no
[22:42] <canon> on

[22:46] <Blue1> pure_hate: says I don't have permission
[22:47] <minimec> illuminaris: I guess that you are reaching the limits of the card (and driver)... Optimal performance would probably be a 2.6.37 kernel in combination with the gallium drivers. even then, not sure that wow is playable.
[22:47] <pure_hate> Blue1, What doesnt work exactly?

[22:49] <jackSTEAM> zaery, to clarify. they are no longer runable from steam. although they are still in the Wine C:\ drive
[22:49] <X14U2NVX> yeah
[22:49] <X14U2NVX> its
[22:49] <pure_hate> Blue1, use rsyncs logging is what I would do
[22:49] <rubbs> Blue1: I believe he has to do something like sudo su - and then run the command as a full root user.

[22:49] <Blue1> pure_hate: okay but how do I do that?
[22:50] <bepraaa> Broadcom?
[22:50] <X14U2NVX> yes
[22:50] <Blue1> rubbs: ahh okay I could try that.

[22:50] <NeedsHelpWithBoo> antlong: is there something else i need to do before i sudo apt-get install powersaved ? I can't seem to find the packages for it
[22:50] <rubbs> Blue1: er sorry mean that not as "he" but 'you' also please be careful, you will have different evniromnent variables too.
[22:50] <rubbs> Blue1: I'd try what pure_hate showed you first
[22:51] <djn> join #codeigniter
[22:51] <djn> oops sorry
[22:51] <Blue1> rubbs I will thanks - guess I missed it first time
[22:51] <antlong> powersave: pm-utils-powersave-policy - lightweight power saving policy when on battery
[22:51] <rubbs> Blue1: np.
[22:51] <antlong> NeedsHelpWithBoo, try: apt-cache search fan speed
[22:51] <antlong> theres a bunch of options in there

[22:55] <shepperd> Hi, I am going to install Ubuntu Server 10.10 onto my server, so I was watching and reading a few guides. All of them mention a 'swap' space partion, what is this, do I need it, and why?..
[22:56] <X14U2NVX> Every time I enter my WEP encryption (yes I know it is correct) it tries to connect for about 30 seconds then asks again
[22:56] <Blue1> rubbs: getting unknown option let me look at man
[22:56] <Planck_> Hi, I've got an application that uses /dev/random, but I'd like it to read from /dev/urandom instead.  I can link /dev/random to /dev/urandom, but that changes for the whole system.  Is there a way to redirect it for just that one app?
[22:56] <pure_hate> shepperd, Swap is "extra" memory. Years ago it was useful but with any modern computer its pretty useless unless you are really low on ram
[22:56] <bepraaa> shepperd: The swap partition is a place to put memory when it's not being used, in case the system runs out.
[22:57] <bepraaa> shepperd: If you have tons of memory, you probably don't need one.
[22:57] <rubbs> nuradin: what is paltalk?
[22:57] <bepraaa> shepperd: But if you have the space one the disk, why not?
[22:57] <rubbs> Blue1: did you try using -- instead of just -?
[22:57] <nuradin> rubbs it is a video/audi/text chat
[22:57] <shepperd> pure_hate, bepraaa, thanks for your answers. :)
[22:57] <antlong> X14U2NVX, 64 bit?
[22:57] <itaylor57> swap can be important if you hibernate
[22:57] <Planck_> shepperd: you probably don't absolutely need swap, but it's still useful.
[22:57] <X14U2NVX> yes
[22:58] <bepraaa> shepperd: np
[22:58] <iflema> shepperd if you need to hibernate youll need swap.....
[22:58] <shepperd> bepraaa: Planck_: I splurged a bit on the Hard Disk, so I'll probably make a small swap space.
[22:58] <rubbs> nuradin: and what are you trying to do with it exactly?
[22:58] <bepraaa> iflema: he almost certainly won't be hibernating on a server...
[22:58] <shepperd> Thanks all. :D
[22:58] <zaery> jacksteam: are the game names greyed out, or white, in your library? and is /host still mounted properly?
[22:58] <iflema> bepraaa: goodone
[22:58] <bepraaa> shepperd: Good idea.
[22:58] <antlong> X14U2NVX do you have network manager installed
[22:59] <Blue1> rubbs: yeah but looking at man doesn't hurt
[22:59] <nuradin> rubbs i want to play music in the rooms without taking the mic,
[22:59] <X14U2NVX> I do not believe so
[22:59] <jackSTEAM> zaery, they were just avaible when i right click the steam icon. now there are none, also on the libary they only have install option
[22:59] <X14U2NVX> No wait
[22:59] <X14U2NVX> here it is
[22:59] <X14U2NVX> yrd
[22:59] <X14U2NVX> yes
[22:59] <rubbs> Blue1: true ;)
[22:59] <antlong> X14U2NVX, if your wep is 64-bit its not supported by ubuntu's gui anymore
[22:59] <rubbs> nuradin: is paltalk configured to use pulseaudio?
[23:00] <jackSTEAM> zaery, /host is still mounted
[23:00] <nuradin> rubbs i want to play music directly from my soundblaster without the mic
[23:00] <X14U2NVX> Oh no, I thought you meant 64-bit OS... I have a Hex WEP
[23:00] <antlong> X14U2NVX, 10 digit?
[23:00] <X14U2NVX> yes
[23:00] <nuradin> rubbs pulseaudio causes error in my squeeze box
[23:00] <antlong> X14U2NVX, try this in terminal. remove the ` marks. http://d.pr/E9Gj
[23:01] <rubbs> nuradin: I guess I'm not understanding. Are you trying to play music on a second soundcard?
[23:01] <zaery> jacksteam: and home/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/steamapps still correctly links to the right folder?
[23:01] <nuradin> rubbs i have alsa
[23:01] <minimec> nuradin: If you have multiple soundcards, you can do this with your onboard pulseaudio server.
[23:01] <nuradin> rubbs something like using the line in,but not exactly
[23:01] <SilentSpoon> !register
[23:02] <antlong> X14U2NVX, good luck i gotta run
[23:02] <jackSTEAM> zaery i assume so, its still showing the same folder as before
[23:02] <X14U2NVX> kk thanks
[23:02] <nuradin> minimec audacity registers 2 sound cards
[23:02] <Blue1> think I got it
[23:02] <Blue1> it's --log-file --
[23:03] <rubbs> nuradin: I'd look into using pulse audio again, but you can use an alsa passthrough command (I can't find it right now) for your squeeze box. Pulse will make it fairly easy for two audio cards
[23:03] <rubbs> Blue1: ah... that'd do it.
[23:03] <thieusoai> can I use wget to download files with addresses listed in a text file   ? e.g.,  does wget has a flag to read from a file ?
[23:03] <nuradin> rubbs maybe u can help me with getting rid of this error in pulseaudio
[23:03] <Blue1> rubbs: yeah it needs log-file works great once you pay the sintax
[23:04] <Blue1> rubbs: also called syntax
[23:04] <Planck_> thieusoai: There's --input-file (or -i)
[23:04] <zaery> jacksteam, well, that's a truly interesting problem..... check your steamapps folder and see if the game's stuff is still there
[23:05] <nuradin> rubbs pulseaudio says error connection refused and it dies
[23:06] <pure_hate> Blue1, Sorry if the syntax was wrong, that was off the top of my head :-)
[23:06] <rubbs> nuradin: I'd help more, but I have to leave actually.
[23:06] <nuradin> rubbs ok thanks anyways
[23:06] <thieusoai> Planck_, thanks
[23:06] <nuradin> bye all
[23:06] <rubbs> nuradin: try asking a PA question to the room and they may be able to help
[23:06] <Blue1> pure_hate: hey no problem - I got what I needed.  thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
[23:06] <[bean]> anyone know any good gnome terminal color shemes that look good in transparency? cant see yellow and green too well
[23:06] <nuradin> rubbs ok thanks again
[23:07] <jackSTEAM> zaery i have 2 steamapps folder. one with an arrow and one without
[23:07] <MrUnagi> pure_hate: i got it to work, but the man is confusing, would it be a bother if i asked you if it is possible to limit the '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' to find only one instance of each????? '{[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}2\}' didn't work
[23:07] <zaery> jacksteam, both in the same folder, or is one in /host and the other in /home?
[23:07] <pure_hate> just do a | sort -u > newfile.txt to remove any duplicates
[23:08] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, ^^
[23:08] <jackSTEAM> zaery both in the wine C folder
[23:08] <jackSTEAM> as i installed steam with wine
[23:08] <MrUnagi> k pure_hate
[23:08] <pure_hate> grep '^[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}$'  file.txt | sort -u > newfile.txt
[23:08] <pure_hate> like that
[23:08] <pure_hate> or actually
[23:08] <Blue1> pure_hate: couldn't you also use uniq?
[23:08] <pure_hate> grep '^[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}$'  file.txt | uniq > newfile.txt
[23:09] <pure_hate> yeah lol
[23:09] <zaery> check inside both, both of them should have a "common" folder inside, and one should have games while the other should have none
[23:09] <[bean]> want to pimp out my weechat but transparencies with current gnome terminal color scheme isnt working that good
[23:09] <sint> hey, is anyone here maintaining the ubuntu.com wiki?
[23:10] <Blue1> pure_hate: found a great programme the other day called bsdiff -- wonder if we can run that on politicians?
[23:10] <area51pilot> :P
[23:10] <pure_hate> Blue1, lol!
[23:10] <brontoeee> anybody in the mood to test cpu usage with a certain page, pm me (must use ubuntu), its flash
[23:10] <sint> i've followed this tutorial, didn't get it finished without problems, looked for help and found that gitosis is no longer maintained and called outdated from git folks. so someone should update the article ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git
[23:10] <Blue1> going to get exciting here tomorrow with obamarama here
[23:12] <webPragmatist> when should i use /var/lib vs just /var
[23:12] <namnatulco> sint: what does gitosis do, anyway?
[23:13] <sint> namnatulco: i have no idea
[23:13] <namnatulco> I've used git for like a year now... never heard of it:)
[23:13] <sint> namnatulco: i just tried to follow the tutorial to get git installed in a "common" way
[23:14] <guest101> hiya, whats the best way to remote access ubuntu with another ubuntu
[23:14] <itaylor57> namnatulco: use gitolite better than gitosis
[23:14] <sint> just starting with git and i thought it is common as it is stated in the tut
[23:14] <markturnip> Can anyone recommend a console application to manage which applications/shells start up at boot?
[23:14] <Blue1> markturnip: rcconf
[23:14] <sint> namnatulco: how to you run git? just with the git core package?
[23:15] <swiggy> whats the best/efficent GameBoy/GameBoy Advance emulator?
[23:15] <swiggy> for ubutnu 10.04
[23:15] <markturnip> Blue1:Thanks!
[23:15] <guest101> ubuntu 10.10
[23:15] <namnatulco> yeah, but I also use an external server, ie github
[23:15] <[bean]> swiggy vba ?
[23:15] <itaylor57> namnatulco: sint gitosis is a way to control comits and other actions on a central repo
[23:15] <swiggy> i did sudo-aptget
[23:15] <swiggy> but i cant seem to run it
[23:15] <swiggy> after i install?
[23:15] <swiggy> cant find it
[23:15] <FloodBot1> swiggy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:15] <swiggy> so i uninstalled
[23:16] <smw> How do you get the amount of cpu usage of user and system? (something scriptable)
[23:17] <swiggy> smw,  system monitor?
[23:17] <swiggy> system->admininstration->system monitor
[23:17] <smw> swiggy, a command line
[23:17] <namnatulco> uptime
[23:17] <sint> itaylor57: but it seems to be out of date and no longer maintained
[23:17] <guest101> Whats the best way to remote access ubuntu with another ubuntu?
[23:17] <smw> namnatulco, does not give user vs system
[23:17] <itaylor57> sint: but gitolite is better and maintained
[23:17] <zaery> I know there's an app in ubuntu that shows disk usage as a sort of colored pie chart type thing, what is it?
[23:17] <namnatulco> oh, right.
[23:17] <sint> itaylor57: seems that way
[23:18] <itaylor57> sint: Ive chatted with the author on the git channel
[23:18] <smw> Monsquaz, please do not PM people your question.
[23:19] <sint> itaylor57: ok? and?
[23:19] <sint> itaylor57: what does he say?
[23:19] <brontoeee> zaery, http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/2008/10/disk-space-analyzers/
[23:19] <smw> Monsquaz, that will get you kicked.
[23:20] <guest101> I used remote desktop viewer but there is major lag
[23:20] <hi5> guest101: i also noticed that
[23:20] <ProtiK> I'm currently trying to connect to my windows desktop from my linux netbook. I opened the run prompt in ubuntu and typed in "smb://<IP_ADDRESS>" to connect to my desktop. Now it's asking my for a username and password, which i assume means it's asking me for the login info i'm using. however, the menu keeps disappearing and reappearing, which I suppose means I'm doing something wrong, but...
[23:20] <ProtiK> ...i'm not sure what. Anyone know what the deal is?
[23:21] <hi5> but i were trying from virtual machine to real pc
[23:21] <ProtiK> *username, domain, and password
[23:21] <hi5> fast internet btw
[23:22] <zaery> brontoeee, thanks, i was lookin' for baobab :)
[23:22] <webPragmatist> where should i put my git repos… /var/lib/git ?
[23:22] <philsf> hi, I'm using ubuntu-netbook and unity collects my recently used files, but not recently used applications. Where should I look to find out why? All zeitgeist related packages seem to be installed.
[23:22] <smw> namnatulco, iostat does it. I had decided to put it off until later but then I ran into the data I wanted when I started on something else.
[23:22] <namnatulco> smw: I was going to suggest top but I couldn't find whether it could actually be run non-interactive
[23:23] <guest101> hi5: I am running Ubuntu off a usb on a windows configured computer
[23:23] <hi5> try vncviewer
[23:23] <smw> namnatulco, yeah, I knew top showed it. I am making a script to pull system statistics. iostat was next on my list.
[23:24] <[bean]> i know ive said this before but i didnt get any response and its been a while ppl have entered since. anyone know any good gnome terminal color shemes that look good in transparency? cant see yellow and green too well
[23:24] <guest101> How do I do it through ssh
[23:24] <ProtiK> does anyone know what login info i'm supposed to use?
[23:24] <namnatulco> [bean]: I use black background and yellow text here with some transparancy
[23:25] <jackSTEAM> any luck zaery?
[23:25] <MrUnagi> pure_hate: cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "password for root" > ~/roothack.txt && cat roothack.txt | grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' | sort -u > banlist.txt && for line in $(cat banlist.txt); do iptables -I INPUT -s "$line" -j DROP; done
[23:26] <zaery> jacksteam, check inside both, both of them should have a "common" folder inside, and one should have games while the other should have none
[23:26] <guest101> ProtiK: Just watched a good tutorial on youtube about i second one down if you typre remote ubuntu
[23:26] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, Awesome, glad you got it workig
[23:26] <MrUnagi> pure_hate: do you like it?
[23:26] <ProtiK> guest101: Remote desktop Ubuntu to windows or Windows to Ubuntu ?
[23:27] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, yeah
[23:27] <hi5> protik even from ubuntu to ubuntu with vncviewer was a pain slow
[23:27] <Buttons840> can i disabled the message given by a system shutdown command?  (basically i don't want warning ruining all my remaining terminals
[23:28] <guest101> ubuntu to windows
[23:28] <minimec> [bean]: Aren't there some fancy themes for weechat? I use a custom theme with my irssi. I use a backgound image in the Terminal and the 'Purisa Medium' font http://imagebin.org/132254
[23:28] <canon> guest101: what's your question?
[23:29] <namnatulco> uhoh. it looks like my netbook froze while doing the partitioning step of the ubuntu install
[23:29] <pure_hate> MrUnagi, you could shorten it a little by not using cat
[23:29] <guest101> canon: I want to know how to remote access my ubuntu with another ubuntu, without major lag preferably no lag.
[23:29] <pure_hate> grep "password for root"  /var/log/auth.log > ~/roothack.txt && grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}'  oothack.txt | uniq > banlist.txt && for line in $(cat banlist.txt); do iptables -I INPUT -s "$line" -j DROP; done
[23:29] <namnatulco> what do I do?
[23:29] <brontoeee> minimec, thats like totally cool, even my silly question looks smart in this font
[23:30] <MrUnagi> pure_hate: using instead?
[23:30] <guest101> canon: I tried remote desktop viewer, there was a lot of lag
[23:30] <jackSTEAM> zaery, one has common one doesn;t
[23:30] <ProtiK> TLDR: I need a username and password to connect to my desktop from my netbook. The username/pass combo is neither the one I log into my desktop with, nor is it what I log into my netbook with. What is it?
[23:30] <hi5> guest101: give a try to teamviewer
[23:31] <philsf> hi, I'm using ubuntu-netbook and unity collects my recently used files, but not recently used applications. Where should I look to find out why? All zeitgeist related packages seem to be installed.
[23:31] <Alexarm> can you help me with a problem I have with ubuntu 10.04?
[23:31] <minimec> brontoeee: I tested lots of fonts. That one is my ultimate choice...
[23:31] <philsf> !ask | Alexarm
[23:31] <[bean]> minimec: not sure. just using terminal colors at the moment. ill check
[23:32] <Ace2> Can someone help me.. I enabled "Extra" in visual effects and now I can't startup. I was able to get to a command prompt, is there a command to reset effects to normal?
[23:32] <harleypig> I know about dpkg --get-selections ... is there a way I can get that information from a mounted harddrive from another system?
[23:33] <brontoeee> minimec, a free font? the Purisa Medium ?
[23:33] <Alexarm> ok I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my NB200 (Toshiba netbook) the installation seemed to go fine but when I reboot I get a black screen with an underscore on the top left corner but it doesen't go any further...
[23:33] <pdignan> earwigs: well, gparted can find it too, but the installer still doesn't show it =/
[23:33] <zaery> jacksteam, does the one with common have the arrow?
[23:34] <zaery> jacksteam, if so, delete the one without common
[23:34] <minimec> brontoeee: You should have that one too. It's on any standard install I think...
[23:34] <hi5> Alexarm: tryed booting in recovery mode?
[23:35] <guest101> hi5: Is it synaptic, or where can I find team viewer
[23:35] <hi5> try apt-get
[23:35] <brontoeee> minimec, true, got it
[23:35] <namnatulco> isn't the partitioning phase of the ubuntu install supposed to show me a progress bar?
[23:35] <hi5> yes it is
 i cant go any further it doesent show anything else and no keys seem to work..
[23:36] <namnatulco> then I think I can safely conclude it froze *before* starting operations on my disk?
[23:36] <guest101> hi5: thanks for the help
[23:36] <hi5> from grub menu you need to pick the recovery mode and boot that
[23:36] <hi5> hope it helped guest101
[23:37] <hi5> namnatulco: difficult to determine
[23:37] <namnatulco> well, a reboot ought to do the trick:)
[23:37] <hi5> yeah
[23:38] <X14U2NVX> okay... Can somebody help me with wifi?
[23:38] <neil_d> I have a new ltsp setup on lucid! but the client logins are not reliable... the correct name and password sometimes get refused by the server... is there anything that can be done about this?
[23:38] <jackSTEAM> zaery, did as you said. restarted steam no change?
[23:38] <hi5> X14U2NVX: ask
[23:39] <lapion> neil_d, when do the correct pw/uname get refused ?
[23:39] <markturnip> My analogue audio output isn't working. I'm using Ubuntu server. Where do I begin trying to debug this?
[23:39] <zaery> jacksteam, is there still only one steamapps folder?
[23:39] <X14U2NVX> ok... I have a wireless card problem, It tries to connect to a wireless network
[23:39] <X14U2NVX> it lookes like its working but then stops soon after
[23:39] <jef91> Is there  a way to make nautilus always run script files when you double click on them instead of having to select run after doing so?
[23:39] <X14U2NVX> about 30 seconds
[23:39] <neil_d> lapion: at logon!
[23:39] <Alexarm> how do i respond to someone ?
[23:39] <jackSTEAM> zaery no, there is 2 again
[23:39] <namnatulco> hi5: looks like it died somewhere halfway, but thanks anyway
[23:40] <hi5> nevermind
[23:40] <thieven`> Alexarm,
[23:40] <thieven`> In single boot systems (when not dual booting with another OS) the boot menu doesn't show up to speed up booting because there is no other OS to select.
[23:40] <thieven`> In this case, for 10.04 and Grub2 press (or start hitting Shift) after the BIOS POST finishes, at the start of booting. That will make a grub menu show.
[23:40] <zaery> jacksteam: well, that's odd, what happens when you do the set of three commands again?
[23:40] <jackSTEAM> zaery we are talking about wines C:\ drive aren't we?
[23:40] <MagusOTB> I need to cut out some clips from a long .avi movie. Can anybody reccoment a program to do so?
[23:40] <zaery> jacksteam, yup
[23:41] <hi5> X14U2NVX: maybe alsaconfig, or ubuntu system configuration tool
[23:41] <jackSTEAM> zaery, can you link the pastebin for the 3 commands again please
[23:41] <lapion> neil_d, I had the same problem but only whenever te screensave locked the screen,..
[23:41] <X14U2NVX> hi5: ok i'll try those
[23:41] <jackSTEAM> zaery nevermind, i found it
[23:41] <hi5> ok, even try switching to Oss instead of alsa, could work
[23:41] <lapion> neil_d,  the problem was solved by changing the rights of /etc/passwd
[23:42] <Alexarm> :<thieven`>  ok let me try it
[23:42] <brontoeee> MagusOTB, maybe avidemux
[23:42] <X14U2NVX> hi5: i'm kind of a newb. Could you explain how to switch to oss?
[23:42] <neil_d> lapion: what did you cahange it to
[23:42] <jackSTEAM> zaery, output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553011/
[23:42] <philsf> hi, I'm using ubuntu-netbook and unity collects my recently used files, but not recently used applications. Where should I look to find out why? All zeitgeist related packages seem to be installed.
[23:42] <Serialk> hello, i'm looking for a command-line software to make a video with a serie of pictures
[23:43] <hi5> i try...from ubuntu sound configuration - is there somewhere - you can select either alsa or oss for your card
[23:43] <Thunderirc> anyone here that can help
[23:43] <zaery> jacksteam, paste me the output of "ls"
[23:43] <Alexarm> ok so i choose linux 2.6.32-27-generic recovery mode or 2.6.32-24-generic recovery mode?
[23:43] <jackSTEAM> zaery, its back. i can choose them
[23:43] <MagusOTB> Serialk: You could maybe use imagick convert to make them into a gif and then ffmpeg (or mencoder) with a really slow framerate to make them a movie.
[23:44] <jackSTEAM> zaery, this is certainty a strange thing
[23:44] <lapion> neil_d, should be 644
[23:44] <X14U2NVX> hi5: ummm sound configuration? for wifi? and where is that?
[23:44] <Thunderirc> im running ubuntu server , why cant outside users connect to my IRCD
[23:44] <redv> use virtual dub for vids: http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
[23:45] <lapion> -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 1328 2010-12-29 14:24 /etc/shadow
[23:45] <hi5> somewhere in preferences menu, maybe
[23:45] <zaery> jacksteam, it looks like steam decided to ignore the symlink and make another steamapps folder, and apparently, recreating the symlink fixed it, that was quite odd
[23:45] <hi5> search for it
[23:45] <aeon-ltd> Thunderirc: firewall?
[23:45] <redv> Thunderirc: behind NAT? may need port forwarding
[23:45] <namnatulco> hi5: for future reference, if the resizing of a partition is canceled, chkdsk (the one included with windows 7) seems to be able to repair the FS
[23:45] <thieven`> Alexarm, just chose the one at the very top.
[23:45] <neil_d> lapion: it is 644 or '-rw-r--r--'
[23:45] <thieven`> Alexarm, you don't need recovery mode. your comuter is fine.
[23:45] <lapion> neil_d, both ar the same
[23:45] <Thunderirc> yes its running throughe router and the only ip i have is 192.168.120.xxx
[23:45] <X14U2NVX> hi5: I found it... But nothing about wireless internet in here
[23:45] <hi5> ok namnatulco..could help in that case
[23:45] <aerecords> WANTED: people who develop web applications on ubuntu platforms
[23:46] <dAND3h> Hello, Can somebody please advise me on whether I should install drivers from nvidia website on ubuntu 10.10 or use the drivers provided by the Additional Drivers on startup?
[23:46] <hi5> i know..wifi is somewhere else
[23:46] <Alexarm> ah, so i just have to do this every time to boot??
[23:46] <hi5> so the connection never worked?
[23:46] <redv> dAND3h: from the website if you're going to play games
[23:46] <redv> dAND3h: otherwise just use the Nvidia x.org drivers
[23:46] <neil_d> lapion: yeh... this is a real pain... sometimes it 10 or more goes to get a client to logon... the users done like that
[23:46] <thieven`> Alexarm, no. i think your problem is now solved.
[23:46] <minimec> dAND3h: Use the drivers provided by the ubutnu distribution.
[23:46] <X14U2NVX> hi5: no if i try to connect to ANY network... it just kind of stalls and quits
[23:46] <lapion> dAND3h, better to use the drivers supplied by one of the official distro package managers
[23:47] <thieven`> Alexarm, try rebooting it and see if it just boots normally now. (without you holding down shift)
[23:47] <hi5> dont know how to help you for that - sry
[23:47] <Alexarm> :) ty i'm a complete noob
[23:47] <BlackRat90> Anyone good with python?
[23:47] <dAND3h> lapion: so will I be able to play games with those drivers?
[23:47] <BlackRat90> Im trying to create a string that has lots of variables to it with out having to define each variable like in C you could do something like:
[23:47] <BlackRat90> float c[50]
[23:47] <X14U2NVX> hi5: ok thanks
[23:47] <thieven`> Alexarm, i'm no expert myself.... :)

[23:49] <Amnesia> hi
[23:49] <Amnesia> how does ubuntu handle the automounting of cdroms?
[23:49] <dAND3h> Ok, I have a 1GB nvidia GT230M gfx card in my laptop, will using the official distro driver allow my graphics to be used at the full potential?
[23:49] <Amnesia> gnome *
[23:50] <namnatulco> X14U2NVX: I only know about a few ralink cards I have myself... but if you happen to be french, maybe this is helpful: http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=433425
[23:50] <thieven`> dAND3h, i would say yes.
[23:50] <sam-_-> dAND3h, i think the video drivers from nvidia for linux are about as good as those for windows
[23:50] <Amnesia> does anyone have an idea?
[23:50] <X14U2NVX> namnatulco: I don't speak french :(
[23:50] <Thunderirc> hey redv does ubuntu server have a built in firewall
[23:50] <Thunderirc> ?
[23:51] <thieven`> Amnesia, what do you mean?
[23:51] <dffd> i typed the first command of http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands it then said i require a reboot in the top right which i did
[23:51] <Amnesia> thieven`: I'm running debian atm
[23:51] <dAND3h> sam-_-:  Are the drivers from nvidia the same as the default distro drivers from ubuntu?
[23:51] <namnatulco> X14U2NVX: well, could you look at the output of dmesg | tail -n10 ?
[23:51] <Amnesia> and want to set up automounting when a cdrom has been inserted
[23:51] <bastidrazor> Thunderirc: ufw
[23:51] <Amnesia> with out the need of triggering mount -a
[23:52] <Alexarm> it doesen't boot completely by itself i have to press shift again but at least it boots :P
[23:52] <Thunderirc> '???
[23:52] <dffd> so the command sudo apt-get install totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread4 <--- screwed up my desktop. any help appreciated
[23:52] <Amnesia> thieven`: it doesnt use autofs right?
[23:52] <Amnesia> in ubuntu then*
[23:52] <namnatulco> X14U2NVX: I used that info to try and fix my own problems today, which was quite helpful, so it may help you too
[23:52] <sam-_-> dAND3h, no you have to install them via additional drivers.
[23:52] <starke> hey all do you think it would be possible to burn a netbook image to a microsd card and run it to a pc via my phone?
[23:52] <thieven`> Alexarm, hmm, it is a wierd one. i don't have a good answer for you. but this site was useful:  ( and i'll look more)  http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484694
[23:52] <X14U2NVX> namnatulco: okay i'll take a look thanks
[23:52] <Thunderirc> sudo ufw disable??
[23:52] <sam-_-> dAND3h, there is a tool in ubuntu which will do it automatically
[23:53] <dAND3h> sam-_-:  yes, so if I install drivers using that tool, is that bascially the same drivers as if i got them from the Nvidia website for linux?
[23:53] <thieven`> Amnesia, i do not think autofs comes with it.
[23:54] <thieven`> Thunderirc,  the firewall is not enabled unless you enable it yourself.
[23:54] <sam-_-> dAND3h, yes. apart from different versions, maybe
[23:54] <Amnesia> thieven`: so how does gnome do it?
[23:54] <dAND3h> sam-_-:  Ok thanks you very much, have a nice life
[23:54] <Thunderirc> it says it was
[23:55] <dffd> is it possible i messed up my system's dependencies and have lost my desktop
[23:56] <thieven`> Amnesia, that part i do not know.   i'm not smart enough for that one. haha.
[23:56] <X14U2NVX> Can anyone here help me with a wireless problem?
[23:56] <X14U2NVX> I think its a driver problem?
[23:56] <ldz4201> issue appears that dockbar and menu panel are invisible or not showing text .. any help?

[23:57] <sam-_-> !resetpanel > ldz4201
[23:57] <X14U2NVX> Looking for help with a wireless (I think its a driver) problem!
[23:58] <EtherealWinterWi> Hello, does anyone know how to make ubuntu ask for confirmation before moving files/folders to the trash?
[23:58] <big_t> if my second hard drive is sdb1 would it be (hd1,a) ?
[23:58] <edbian> X14U2NVX: I can help you.  What card do you have?
[23:58] <terron> I'm trying to remove all traces of an ipv6 tunnel which is conflicting with my router's settings.  How would I remove routes such as http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=6rgYxyvc ?  Additionally, simplying doing ifconfig <interface> down didn't seem to actually remove it, just disable it.  How would I go about doing that?
[23:59] <dffd> can i atleast back up my old files without it telling me i dont have permissions
[23:59] <Steve973> what's the preferred vnc server if I have a headless ubuntu server?
[23:59] <thieven`> big_t, your second hard drive is sdb   sdb1 is the first parttion on that hard drive.
[23:59] <dffd> will it keep my /home/ directory intact
