[12:00] <quidnunc> erikaflusa: Console I would guess
[12:01] <yukos> oCean: what was again the command to unblock? look what i've got after restart :S http://pastebin.com/AmzqfFzu
[12:01] <quidnunc> erikaflusa: Do you know how to use the command line?
[12:01] <crackerjackz> erikaflusa, run it from the terminal.. i actually use medafen emulator though
[12:01] <erikaflusa> is medafan better
[12:01] <oCean> yukos: sudo rfkill unblock all
[12:01] <crackerjackz> erikaflusa, try something like dosemu /path/to/game.zip from the terminal
[12:02] <erikaflusa> ok
[12:02] <oCean> yukos: according to this thread you should blacklist acer-wmi  (http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1677127.html)
[12:02] <erikaflusa> im still newbie on linux
[12:02] <erikaflusa> a novice i guess
[12:02] <crackerjackz> erikaflusa, i tried messing around with dosemu and couldn't get somethings to work right but i haven't had any problems out of mednafen
[12:02] <crackerjackz> some things*
[12:02] <hurp> anyone have a clue about my problem D: ?
[12:03] <erikaflusa> mednafen is that correct spelling
[12:03] <B_Lizzard> Does anybody else have machines with broken boot that throws you in a busybox prompt?
[12:03] <B_Lizzard> I have two people bringing me machines with the same exact problem, both running Ubuntu 10.10.
[12:04] <crackerjackz> erikaflusa, yes mednafen is the correct spelling
[12:04] <B_Lizzard> I thought it was some hard-drive issue but it seems that some update broke everything
[12:04] <quidnunc> How do I change the gdm theme?
[12:04] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: it will give the same block id as they are identical
[12:04] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: that's why I told you to change the fstab to NOT use the block id - but use the device name
[12:04] <erikaflusa> ok
[12:04] <kierge> B_Lizzard, hard drives should go on sata 2 ports
[12:05] <B_Lizzard> What?
[12:05] <erikaflusa> i was gonna use a old desktop an put dos 6.22 on it
[12:05] <B_Lizzard> I'm saying, two people had Ubuntu 10.10 working and brought their computers with the same exact problem within two days of each other.
[12:06] <B_Lizzard> Boot fails and throws you into a busybox prompt
[12:06] <david_> I, I have problem to shutdown my computer with a new 11.04 x64 installation, xserver closes fine and a message in the terminal is shown but it do not shutdown. I only changed the configuration of fstab: http://pastebin.com/HaFbz8Tv What can I do?
[12:06] <latagore> B_Lizzard: Hey
[12:06] <B_Lizzard> I am asking if anyone has anything similar going on or maybe I should post some logs or something. :)
[12:06] <oCean> B_Lizzard: if you think you hit a bug, search launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
[12:06] <BluesKaj> B_Lizzard, are the graphics the same mfgr
[12:07] <latagore> B_Lizzard: Uhh, I've had that problem before, but all I did was reinstall lol
[12:07] <dr_willis> theres 100's of errors that could kick you into a busybox prompt.
[12:07] <B_Lizzard> The one is a desktop with Nvidia, I think, the other a laptop with integrated intel
[12:07] <Sidewinder1> B_Lizzard, Can't define exactly what caused the problem, but, you could always boot to LiveCD, back-up their /home directories, and reinstall 10.10
[12:07] <dr_willis> often a reinstall of grub does the trick B_Lizzard
[12:08] <B_Lizzard> I'll try though chroot and reinstall if nothing helps
[12:08] <latagore> I want to map my keys using a GUI utility, does anyone have any suggestions?
[12:09] <dr_willis> B_Lizzard,  i often find it handy to have a backup grub installed on flash drive to boot syste4ms that break.
[12:09] <B_Lizzard> Maybe it was a grub update that broke everything
[12:10] <dr_willis> theres 100's of errors that could kick you into a busybox prompt.
[12:10] <dr_willis> !appdb
[12:10] <crackerjackz> ahh i was thinking of desemu or something not dosemu
[12:11] <B_Lizzard> OK, I just found it weird that two systems happened to have this simultaneously, maybe it was widespread or something.
[12:11] <B_Lizzard> Thanks again.
[12:11] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: fstab is changed and it's booting now, but mount still says sda2 for both :?
[12:11] <crackerjackz> you can't emulate dos programs with mednafen
[12:11] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: you said it said sda1 for both earlier
[12:12] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: how are you deciding which one you boot ?
[12:12] <yukos> oCean: how do I blocklist a device then?
[12:12] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: as in where are you making that decision
[12:12] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: from GRUB which is clearly wrong (says boot sda1)
[12:13] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: what are the grub menu options (what do they say)
[12:14] <bluecatss> any body home
[12:14] <ikonia> bluecatss: you can obviously see people talking
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> 1389, last I checked.
[12:15] <undead> hi everybody
[12:15] <shipwreck_> oh hai undead
[12:16] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: 1] Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic ... 5] Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (on dev/sda1)
[12:16] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: can you hilight each one and press "e" make notes on what you see, are they the same, or different
[12:18] <undead> I have configured squid for instructions on how to here http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=61887.0
[12:18] <undead> all well it works, but the site that spun on this server
[12:18] <undead> it is available only if the proxy to register, without a proxy is not available, tell me how to fix
[12:18] <ikonia> undead: what is the IP of the website that is not available
[12:19] <phoque> I'm using "grep -rl width file | xargs sed -i -e 's/width/height/'" to replace "width" by "height" in a file
[12:19] <phoque> however that only replaces the first occurrance of the word in a line
[12:19] <phoque> does anybody know what to change in order to replace ALL words in a line
[12:20] <arkanabar> my lappy has neither X nor network.  How can I enable my wireless from command line?
[12:20] <entel_> phoque: sed?
[12:20] <ikonia> arkanabar: iwconfig
[12:20] <phoque> entel_, I am using sed
[12:20] <entel_> \w
[12:20] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: one says: set root='(dev/sda,msdos1), the other with msdos2
[12:20] <entel_> oh sorry phoque i misread
[12:21] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: that looks right, but it's an unusual format
[12:21] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: ok - lets do a test here
[12:21] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: boot into one of the options, and do "sudo touch /example.disk"
[12:21] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: what does it mean? it should be formatted as ext4
[12:22] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: then boot into the other and do "ls -la /example.disk"
[12:22] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: don't worry just run the test
[12:22] <dr_willis> phoque,  isent there some /g option for that.
[12:22] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: ok
[12:22] <ikonia> dr_willis: global - yes
[12:22] <entel_> phoque: can you add a 'g' after the 's' in the sed's argument
[12:22] <exutux> phoque: sed -i s/width/height/g
[12:22] <yukos> how to blacklist a device?
[12:22] <entel_> oh yea its at the end
[12:23] <phoque> exutux, without the -e parameter?
[12:23] <undead> ikonia: undead.lan, it site in my network
[12:23] <dr_willis> !blacklist
[12:23] <arkanabar> ok, how do I pass wireless encryption key to iwconfig?  man pages are pretty opaque.?
[12:23] <exutux> phoque: i think that is the same for that simple expression
[12:24] <ikonia> undead: ok - so that's why it can't b e used without a proxy
[12:24] <exutux> phoque: try both
[12:24] <hamed> hi. is any reference about the commands in xubuntu ?
[12:24] <ikonia> hamed: in what respect?
[12:26] <hamed> setxkbmap us dvp
[12:26] <ikonia> hamed: there are man pages for that sort of thing
[12:27] <hamed> this command convert qwerty but i must do it every time
[12:27] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: after ls -la /example.disk output is: ls: cannot access /example.disk
[12:27] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: ok - so that does show they are booting into two different partitions
[12:27] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: boot back into the other one and run "ls -la /example.disk"
[12:27] <undead> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/640780/
[12:27] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: this time you should get output
[12:28] <phoque> exutux, entel_, thanks!
[12:28] <ikonia> undead: why are you showing me that ?
[12:30] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: yes, output this time
[12:30] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: mount has gone back to saying both are sda1 :?
[12:31] <hamed> thank you very much ikonia
[12:32] <ubuntufreak21> morning everyone!
[12:32] <Padge> Does anyone here use Ubuntu Brainstorm?
[12:32] <ubuntufreak21> hey is usr13 on?
[12:33] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: uid's got to be confusing it, it shouldn't but it is
[12:33] <ikonia> Padge: yes
[12:33] <Padge> Do the moderators tend to dismiss ideas they don't like summarily as "not an idea," or does the idea have to actually fail to meet come criteria?
[12:33] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: the good news is, they are booting into two seperate partitions, the bad news is the uuid's are confusing it
[12:33] <ikonia> Padge: I've found it to be very balanced
[12:33] <aleprovencio> Hello everyone, is there a way of remapping the ctrl+(alt)pgUP/pgDown and alt+down shortcuts to another combination ?
[12:34] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: my original idea was to have one partition for XBMC live only and another for Ubuntu 11.4, but the drivers on XBMC live do not support my GPU, so then I tried to install Ubuntu and spent about 4-5 hours getting wifi to work. so thought I'd clone drive (to make life easier!). is it a bad idea to have two copies of Ubuntu on different partitions (cloned or not)?
[12:34] <Padge> ikonia: I put in an idea, which I was pretty sure is an idea, and it was dismissed as not an idea.  I put the idea in again with less wordy, more direct language in the hopes that it won't get summarily dismissed again.
[12:35] <Padge> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28246/
[12:35] <exutux> Mac-Rumours: you can change UUID after clonation
[12:35] <Padge> ikonia: Is there any reason that isn't an idea?
[12:35] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: you've asked me a really bad question, so in theory, two different linux OS's (ubuntu or what ever) is  fine idea, but the way ubuntu uses grub2 and puts all the config in /etc on the local partition in my view makes it a broken configuration so a terrible idea
[12:35] <dr_willis> tune2fs command can change uuid.
[12:35] <exutux> Mac-Rumours: so GRUB doesn't get confusion with same UUIDs
[12:35] <ubuntufreak21> hey can someone help me fix my usb connection problem/
[12:36] <dawcreck> hello
[12:36] <morning> Aleprovencio:  System settings ---> Personal ---> Keyboard shortcuts
[12:36] <ikonia> Padge: you can launch multiple instances of applications, it already exists
[12:36] <ikonia> exutux: it's nothing to do with grub
[12:36] <Padge> From the launcher?
[12:36] <ikonia> Padge: I believe so
[12:36] <cool_code> arkanabar, check http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_iwconfi.htm
[12:36] <Padge> From the launcher's convenience icon?
[12:37] <morning> Aleprovencio: From the "power" icon in the upper right of your screen.
[12:37] <Padge> Is there some undocumented key I have to hold while clicking the button?
[12:37] <ikonia> Padge: I don't have the specific details as I don't use it myself but I'm very aware of colleges having multiple terminals for example launched from the launcher
[12:37] <AFD> I'm trying to export my passwords / wifi networks etc using the password keys gui but the export option is greyed out... any takers?
[12:37] <ikonia> Padge: that's the method, hold the mouse click
[12:37] <exutux> ikonia: well I talking about fstab and mount partition
[12:37] <exutux> I'm
[12:38] <Padge> When I hold the mouse it assumes I want to move it
[12:38] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: i wanted to keep a clean XBMC install as this is for a living room HTPC, but wanted to learn Ubuntu so thought sanest way is to put it on another partition. So I suppose I can just have one installation that I don't mess with (or at least keep a backup of). What would you recommend?
[12:38] <ubuntufreak21> Can someone help me with usb configuration
[12:38] <dawcreck> i have a problem i installed ubuntu 11.04 64 bit but now i tried booting for the first time but al i get is a black screen with a blinking cursor can anyone help me please?
[12:38] <ikonia> exutux: the issue is two fold, 1.) Mac-Rumours's actual issue which is identical block id's due to a clone of the partition confusing the mounts b.) grub in /etc makes managing dual boots rubbish in general
[12:38] <Padge> To make sure I have my terminology right, by 'launcher' I mean the vertical bar in Unity that appears on the left
[12:39] <exutux> ikonia: indeed...for this I said that can change UUID to cloned partition
[12:39] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: this is not the best answer I'd like to give, but it is the most realistic, use a virtual machine, I hate to say that, as dual booting should be easy, however with ubuntu's grub2 layout, the truth is, it's not
[12:39] <ikonia> Padge: yup
[12:39] <aleprovencio> morning, thanks for the info. However I don't see any of these options there :/
[12:39] <morning> Padge: Click with Middle mouse button
[12:39] <gartral> how can i get a load output from console?
[12:39] <ikonia> exutux: I'd certainly be interested in how you suggest doing this, just re-generate the blikd it ?
[12:39] <ikonia> id
[12:40] <exutux> ikonia: with to tune2fs
[12:40] <morning> Aleprovencio: How far do you get?
[12:40] <dob_> hello
[12:40] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: None of the OSs out there play nice together. Last time I tried to install Ubuntu on a Mac (along with Windows) the whole disk got corrupted.
[12:40] <Padge> morning: That would explain why I wasn't able to do it.  I had a two-button mouse.
[12:40] <dob_> is there any ipv6 capable mirror for ubuntu?
[12:40] <rohypnolic> dawcreck - i would use a gparted livecd and just unassign your partitions, then run the install cd after reboot
[12:40] <exutux> ikonia:  sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdxx
[12:40] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: any other Linux distro will play fine, it's a limitation of ubuntu and how it works with grub2
[12:40] <vik> hi guys gettin below error when i sudo
[12:40] <gartral> Mac-Rumours: this is why we have VMs
[12:40] <ikonia> exutux: ah, so you just suggest re-creating the uuids]
[12:41] <exutux> yeah
[12:41] <vik> jira123 is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[12:41] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: exutux is worth a go, although you'll still hit the same issue of maintaining grub for both OS'
[12:41] <morning> Padge: There's some other way: Maybe clicking right and left buttons at the same time. Haven't tried it.
[12:41] <ikonia> exutux: great id
[12:41] <ikonia> idea
[12:41] <vik> tried thhis but failed jira123 is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[12:41] <exutux> Mac-Rumours: partiton needs to be unmounted
[12:41] <ikonia> morning: I thought it was holding down the left click
[12:41] <AFD>  I'm trying to export my passwords / wifi networks etc using the password keys gui but the export option is greyed out... any takers?
[12:41] <gartral> Mac-Rumours ikonia wouldn't lilo be better?
[12:42] <ikonia> vik: is that user a member of the "admin" group ?
[12:42] <vik> im the only user
[12:42] <ikonia> gartral: no as the other distros won't update lilo
[12:42] <ikonia> vik: show me the output of "uname -a" please
[12:42] <ikonia> gartral: I see where you are going though
[12:42] <vik> i mean i have installed ubuntu jus now
[12:42] <ikonia> vik: show me the output of "uname -a" please
[12:42] <exutux> ikonia: I broke my brain for several time at work with this issue, because I use to clone more time for my servers
[12:42] <gabriele> Upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 was interrupted. Command "dpkg --configure -a" exits with error "dpkg error unable to access dpkg status area: read-only file system". How can I solve this without reinstalling ubuntu?
[12:42] <aleprovencio> morning, i get to the keyboard shortcuts application, but i don't see options i want which are 'move to the next/previews tab' (ctrl+pgUP/DOWN) and 'display drop down list' (alt+DOWN)
[12:42] <ubuntufreak21> i think i installed too many packages from synaptic package manager
[12:42] <vik> Linux D-MAA-00398040 2.6.38-8-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:49:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[12:43] <ikonia> gabriele: how/why was it interupted
[12:43] <ikonia> vik: please show me the output of the command "id"
[12:43] <gartral> ikonia: well, thinking of matinence... lilo would only need too be updated what... once every few weeks at the most?
[12:43] <gabriele> ikonia, upgrade manager froze

[12:43] <exutux> ikonia: solutions was or to use devices /dev/sdxx on fstab and grub, but isn't a good idea...better use UUIDS and create a new one after clone
[12:43] <ikonia> gartral: yes and no, the issue is OS1 - update lilo, great, how does OS2 know to update lilo - as it was installed and managed outside of it, that's not a problem with grub1 or grub2 on a non-ubuntu distro
[12:43] <ubuntufreak21> thats maybe why my usb isnt working
[12:43] <morning> Ikonia: Middle click works for  me.
[12:44] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: i want to try to keep things simple. sounds like one installation of Ubuntu will have to do.
[12:44] <dawcreck> can anyone help me please?
[12:44] <morning> Aleprovencio: I dropped out & may have missed your last message.
[12:44] <vik> @ikonia wat do i do
[12:44] <aleprovencio> morning, ok
[12:44] <ikonia> vik: show me the output of the command "id" as I asked
[12:44] <aleprovencio> morning, i get to the keyboard shortcuts application, but i don't see options i want which are 'move to the next/previews tab' (ctrl+pgUP/DOWN) and 'display drop down list' (alt+DOWN)

[12:45] <gabriele> ikonia, any hint?
[12:45] <vik> here it is

[12:45] <ubuntufreak21> someone please help me with usb problem
[12:45] <ikonia> vik: ahh, I see. you're user is not in the "admin" group, you must have removed it
[12:45] <gartral> ikonia: simple, OS2 won't need too be updated as often (Assuming OS1 is Linux, and OS2 is Mac) any Major kernal changes too OS2 can be force-updated from inside Linux.. unless i'm horribly misunderstanding the configuration
[12:45] <ikonia> gabriele: remount it read write
[12:45] <ubuntufreak21> there is enough of you on to help most of us
[12:45] <ikonia> gabriele: it will need to be maintained and updated
[12:46] <ikonia> gabriele: sorry that was for gartral
[12:46] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: thanks for all your help and patience.
[12:46] <BluesKaj> ubuntufreak21, then tell us your problem
[12:46] <ikonia> Mac-Rumours: I'm sorry not to be more posative
[12:46] <morning> Aleprovencio: There's an "Add" button to add another command. (But where to go from there is beyond my skill set.)
[12:46] <ikonia> positive
[12:46] <gabriele> ikonia, how can i remount it read-write? i'm in the manual recovery shell.
[12:46] <vik> @ikonia wat do i do
[12:46] <ikonia> gabriele: mount -o rw /dev/$disk /
[12:46] <Mac-Rumours> ikonia: i've learnt along the way.
[12:46] <rohypnolic> dawcreck - i would use a gparted livecd and just unassign your partitions, then run the install cd after reboot, ubu will take care of the mbr and make a new boot partition
[12:47] <ikonia> vik: how did you remove your user from the admin group
[12:47] <gabriele> ikonia, thanks i'll give it a try
[12:47] <aleprovencio> morning, i see, going to make some tests. Thanks for your help !
[12:47] <ubuntufreak21> i insert usb in usb port and nothing pops up or it doesnt even do a single thing
[12:47] <vik> oh i created 2 user
[12:47] <vik> i delted the primary user
[12:47] <vik> anyturn around for this
[12:47] <ikonia> gabriele: sorry, it's mount -o remount rw /dev/$disk /
[12:47] <szal> lol
[12:47] <morning> Aleprovencio: Glad to serve.
[12:47] <ikonia> gabriele: brain fade for a moment then
[12:47] <ubuntufreak21> it blinks green diode but thats about it
[12:47] <ikonia> vik: that's the issue then,
[12:47] <gabriele> ikonia, ok thank you again :D
[12:48] <ikonia> vik: you need to boot into recovery mode, and add the user to the admin group
[12:48] <vik> as in
[12:48] <magicjackwork> guyz can someone help me getting magicjack to work on ubuntu??????
[12:48] <vik> im new to ubuntu can u enlighten me more on this
[12:48] <vik> hw to go about it
[12:48] <ikonia> vik: research the command "usermod" and add the group to the admin group
[12:48] <vik> sure
[12:49] <Dulcin>  Hi, I'm wondering the part in the cli that shows in what folder you are, is that a package you can install? (i have a linux distro on my nas, but it only shows my username, and have to keep ls'ing to see my location)
[12:49] <ubuntufreak21> *YAWN*
[12:49] <magicjackwork> guyz can someone help me getting magicjack to work on ubuntu??????  -- plz
[12:49] <ikonia> Dulcin: we support ubuntu here
[12:49] <oCean> ubuntufreak21: no need for that. You can just go ahead and describe your issue/question
[12:49] <Dulcin> yeah just hoping someone knew this
[12:49] <ikonia> Dulcin: contact your free nas provider
[12:49] <gartral> magicjackwork: getting the actual MagicJack too work in ubuntu is Impossible, but using the Account from it with Ekiga or another SIPphone application is easy enough, after you hack out the password
[12:50] <ubuntufreak21> in just did like twice
[12:50] <Dulcin> it it was a package i suppose its pre-installed on ubuntu
[12:50] <Lordveda> magicjackwork: what do you mean?
[12:50] <Dulcin> if*
[12:50] <oCean> ubuntufreak21: describe it (detailed) in single line, then sit back and have some patience
[12:50] <ikonia> Dulcin: packages are different in distros, hence why the ubuntu package will be different than your nas providers package
[12:50] <magicjackwork> gartral: what app will work with it
[12:50] <gartral> Lordveda: magicjackwork wants to make a MagicJack work under Ubuntu, which is impossible, belive me, i've tried
[12:50] <Dulcin> ikonia: well it's built on debian i believe
[12:51] <ikonia> Dulcin: but it's "not" actually debian, so it will differ, best to contact the providert
[12:51] <Dulcin> oki
[12:51] <Lordveda> gartral: what is MagicJack?
[12:51] <gartral> magicjackwork: again, the physical MagicJack hard will not work in Ubuntu, or any linux, period, end of story. but the account can be used..
[12:51] <Dulcin> but what's the part called anyway? is there a name for it?
[12:51] <compdoc> a kinda of low cost phone service
[12:51] <ubuntufreak21> i insert usb stick and nothing happens the green diode
[12:51] <magicjackwork> lordveda: magicjack is VOIP service which is like a usb device that allows phones to get hooked up to it
[12:52] <ikonia> Dulcin: contact your nas provider
[12:52] <gartral> Lordveda: it's a little dongle that has software that allows you too call people. it's by far the cheapest SIP-device/service available
[12:52] <morning> Ubuntufreak21: One possible approach is to install autofs5
[12:52] <Dulcin> nvm already got it, called bashprompt
[12:52] <ubuntufreak21> blinks a few times thats about it
[12:52] <magicjackwork> gartral: magicjack said they would add linux support yeeaarrs ago
[12:52] <ubuntufreak21> where do i get that?
[12:53] <morning> U'freak: From the repository. You can use Synaptic Package Manager.
[12:53] <gartral> magicjackwork: yea, and Microsoft said they would bring real Silverlight too linux around the same time.. One thing too remember about corporations: They REARLY do what they say without a Lawsuit
[12:53] <ubuntufreak21> duh lol thx
[12:53] <magicjackwork> gartral:will wine work with it though?
[12:54] <gartral> magicjackwork: no.
[12:54] <ubuntufreak21> dummy me lol
[12:54] <magicjackwork> y?
[12:54] <Lordveda> gartral: Is it a kernel driver issue?
[12:54] <gartral> magicjackwork: the simple answer: Wine doesn't know how to address the device. therefore it will never associate with it
[12:54] <morning> U'freak: :)
[12:55] <gartral> Lordveda: no, it's more a compatability layer issue.. the MJ has a proprietary protocol between the Device and the Driver
[12:55] <Lordveda> Seems to me like the Old winmodem problem
[12:55] <Lordveda> gartral: ok
[12:56] <gartral> Lordveda: yes. kinda, except with better encryption and even MORE obfuscation..
[12:57] <gartral> magicjackwork: in short, your best option is a WinPE VM running in the backgroud...
[12:57] <Lordveda> gartral: I meant I have understood that the problem with this MagicJack was the driver not the protocol as you pinpointed
[12:57] <magicjackwork> gartral: I cant do that but..theres a mac version of magic jack on their website..will that work native kinda?
[12:57] <cousin_mario> hello
[12:58] <gartral> Lordveda: I don't have access too the memory/kernel dump ATM, but the driver works, and so does the device, but Wine has NO idea how to interperate the protocol (as far as i can tell)
[12:58] <cousin_mario> the user-switch applet has seemingly disappeared for some reason: what package does it belong to in natty?
[12:58] <gartral> magicjackwork: not in linux, though, i've heard of some success with porting it too BSD
[12:59] <mastroDani> Hi everybody. How is it the support for multi-touch touchpad on Linux?
[13:00] <mastroDani> Like the Dell Fingerprint Reader Dual Point or Dual Point Touchpad Trackstick
[13:00] <gartral> mastroDani: how is the support for multitouch in linux? depends on the touchpad
[13:00] <mastroDani> gartral, ok.. what about those two?
[13:00] <mastroDani> gartral, you can see them in latitude-e5520
[13:00] <gartral> mastroDani: never seen them, i have no idea
[13:01] <ubuntufreak21> how do i get to my usb drive on computer?
[13:01] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: huh?
[13:02] <ubuntufreak21> how do i get to my computer in folder
[13:03] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: what exactly are you trying to acomplish?
[13:03] <morning> mastroDani: Not the last word, but http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Dell/laptops looks hopeful
[13:03] <ubuntufreak21> to open usb drive
[13:03] <ubuntufreak21> im trying to see if autofs5 worked
[13:04] <amarcolino> Hi, is their a way to update/work on the same file found on every machine on my network other than ssh to every machine?
[13:04] <ubuntufreak21> cause nothing happened
[13:04] <gartral> amarcolino: there's one way, but it requires a bit of setup, rsync
[13:05] <furqan> Hi, How to open Grub 2 menu at startup? i used "Shift" key but nothing appeared.
[13:05] <taro> hi all, how can I clean the cache of my fonts. I did the "sudo fc-cache -fv" but it took me all the fonts in my disk, not only the ones in the .fonts folder
[13:05] <ubuntufreak21> im trying to look for usb drive
[13:05] <amarcolino> gartral: do explain...
[13:05] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: what kind of flash drive?
[13:05] <morning> U'freak:  When recognized, it should show up on your desktop.
[13:06] <BluesKaj> furqan, you have to hold it down from the bios scrn till grub appears
[13:06] <ubuntufreak21> kingston flash drive
[13:06] <gartral> amarcolino: setup a cronjob on each client machine too check the file in need of update with rsync from a server, and make your edit on the server's file, then... wait
[13:07] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: open a terminal (ctrl-t) and type lsusb
[13:07] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: does the word "Kingston" show up in any of the lines?
[13:07] <furqan> BluesKaj, do we need to change grub config to enable this ? i've changed GRUB timeout and grub quiet
[13:08] <BluesKaj> furqan, o
[13:08] <BluesKaj> no
[13:08] <gartral> amarcolino: it's not at all ideal, but it does work.
[13:08] <ubuntufreak21> yes it does
[13:08] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: is there anything on the flashdrive that you care about?
[13:08] <ubuntufreak21> i just need to find it on my computer thats all
[13:09] <minimec> ubuntufreak21: So you have a USB flash drive... OK. What happens, when you plug that drive? Would it show up in the file manager or on the desktop? If not, open a console and type... dmesg tail
[13:09] <amarcolino> gartral, actually that would work thanks
[13:09] <furqan> BluesKaj, thankyou
[13:09] <ubuntufreak21> yes there is
[13:09] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: it shoud just appear in your places or on your desktop.
[13:10] <ubuntufreak21> what are yoiu trying to say?
[13:10] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: what's it formatted with?
[13:10] <amarcolino> gartral, these files would have the same settings so rsync would work
[13:10] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: i'm trying too figure out if you'll have too manually mount it
[13:10] <gartral> amarcolino: you're welcome
[13:11] <minimec> ubuntufreak21: So you want to know, how it is mounted in the system? dmesg tail will tell you that. should be something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1 ...
[13:12] <bnana> hi men
[13:12] <furqan> BluesKaj, nothing appeared
[13:13] <bnana> i was wondering if ther's a way to decompress files archived in that awfult RAR format, with a free program
[13:13] <tightwork> anyone know anything about anything?
[13:13] <gartral> bnana: yes there is, there is unrar and unrar-nonfree
[13:14] <ubuntufreak21> this my be my problem <  6.720824] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro

[13:14] <ubuntufreak21> [    8.567254] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[13:14] <bnana> well, I tried unrar-free (aliased unrar in debian) , but that bugs
[13:14] <gartral> bnana: once either is installed, the archive manager in ubuntu will be able too extract most RAR files
[13:15] <lore9625> hi
[13:15] <ubuntufreak21> hey
[13:15] <minimec> ubuntufreak21: can you paste.ubuntu.com that output. Do not paste long outputs in the channel.
[13:16] <ubuntufreak21> sorry
[13:16] <bnana> the free unrar doesn't extract , while back in time, having the same problem, only unrar-nonfree proved able to extract
[13:16] <bnana> but obviously, i cant use the unfree
[13:17] <furqan> How can we view Grub 2 Menu ? SHIFT key is not working...
[13:17] <minimec> furqan: You press (and hold) the left <shift> key?
[13:18] <furqan> minimec, yes, i did.
[13:18] <furqan> minimec, i'm using 10.04
[13:18] <coz_> furqan,  is this a laptop?
[13:18] <furqan> coz_, no! Desktop
[13:19] <coz_> furqan,  oo  ,, is the shift key working within the system normally?
[13:19] <furqan> coz_, yes it is
[13:19] <gartral> furqan: you might be facing wierd BIOS/Hardware that prevents the keyboard from actually doing much before a kernel loads... im not sure on your hardware
[13:19] <minimec> furqan: ok.Do it a little bit earlier. Just after the BIOS screen.
[13:20] <amarcolino> doesn't ubuntu add users to the 'users' group by default? I've just looked at /etc/group and 'users' doesn't have any of the system users.
[13:20] <coz_> furqan,  and you said you rebooted,, held down the s hift  key during the entire boot processs?..yes?
[13:20] <Nobgul-bnc> If the shift key was pressed to early it would disable key input
[13:21] <furqan> minimec, yeah! i pressed shift from BIOS menu to whole booting process
[13:21] <BluesKaj> the shift should be held down at the bios scrn til grub appears
[13:21] <furqan> minimec, yeah! i pressed shift from BIOS to whole booting process
[13:21] <minimec> furqan: I would do it right after...
[13:21] <coz_> furqan,  try it again after the bios
[13:22] <furqan> coz_, okay... give me some minutes
[13:23] <minimec> furqan: On my system the BIOS options would be present for about 5 seconds. Then the screen turns black and I press shift immediately.
[13:23] <bnana> ahh! now i got it: RAR algorithm license ristrict the re-engineering of a compression tool, but doesnt restrict the decompression.
[13:23]  * BluesKaj doesn't think that makes ay dff , but there's always omething new to learn
[13:23] <BluesKaj> any
[13:23] <gartral> coz_: hehe, im on wierd hardware that doesn't use grub or any normal bootloader, it uses GPT tables that are edited by hard (or script)!
[13:23] <bnana> that's why unrar-free is only a de-archiver tool
[13:23] <BluesKaj> damn kb
[13:23] <coz_> gardar,  interesting:)
[13:24] <gartral> coz_: i'm not gardar!
[13:24] <gartral> lol
[13:24] <coz_> gartral,  sorry
[13:24] <coz_> gardar,  wrong nick guy
[13:25] <gartral> gardar: it's ok, gardar gets upset when people misdirect! lol
[13:25] <dawcreck> i installed ubuntu but when i restart i  get a black screen and blinking cursor but doesn't change can anyone help please?
[13:25] <cousin_mario> the user-switch applet has seemingly disappeared for some reason: what package does it belong to in natty?
[13:25] <gartral> dawcreck: did you install grub in sda or sda1?
[13:25] <coz_> !nomodeset | dawcreck
[13:26] <Milossh> hey, what's `-rw-r--r--+` in numbers?
[13:26] <Milossh> :)
[13:26] <Milossh> permissions, fwiw
[13:26] <BluesKaj> !nomodeset | dawcreck
[13:26] <gabriele> ikonia, mount -o remount rw doesn't seem to have solved the promlem
[13:26] <Psydoll> can someone tell me what they use "text editors" for in linux? Thats like a fancy word processor a simple word processorA?
[13:26] <trijntje> Hi all, ubuntu tells me that /etc/init.d/networking restart is depricated, but it doesnt tell me what to use instead. who can tell me?
[13:26] <minimec> dawcreck: WOuld that blinking cursor be at the beginning of the boot process or at the end. Would you be able to use <ctrl><alt><F1>?
[13:26] <BluesKaj> oops ..
[13:26] <trijntje> !init.d
[13:27] <oCean> Milossh: 644
[13:27] <entel_> Milossh: 644
[13:27] <entel_> aw boo oC
[13:27] <gartral> Milossh: if i'm not mistaken, it's 744 or 755
[13:27] <Milossh> thanks
[13:27] <ubuntufreak21> hey it works waaa hoooo!!
[13:27] <entel_> lol
[13:27] <gartral> 644*
[13:27] <dnivra> trijntje: run "service networking restart" instead :)
[13:27] <entel_> choo choo last train rolling in
[13:27] <ikonia> gabriele: what does "mount" show
[13:27] <cousin_mario> nevermind, found it
[13:27] <cousin_mario> bbl
[13:27] <ubuntufreak21> all i had to do was reboot computer the usb works!
[13:27] <entel_> the old windows method
[13:28] <ubuntufreak21> yeahhh!!!
[13:28] <trijntje> dnivra, thanks a lot! When I googled it I only got posts saying 'use /etc/init.d restart' ;)
[13:28] <gartral> furqan: everything work?
[13:28] <taro> lol, updating the font cache the fc-cache scans all the home folder and install 1000 fonts
[13:28] <gabriele> ikona, well that's hard to tell because i don't have the machine on sight. Actually i'm trying to guide my gf ^^"
[13:28] <taro> haow can I solve the problem?
[13:29] <ikonia> gabriele: that makes it even harder for me
[13:29] <gabriele> ikoni, btw mount says that /dev/sda5 is rw
[13:29] <furqan> gartral, yea ...thank you very much
[13:29] <gabriele> *ikonia sorry
[13:29] <gartral> furqan: yw
[13:29] <coz_> taro,  you want to remove fonts or control them ...yes?
[13:29] <furqan> gartral, actually i was holding it too early
[13:29] <ubuntufreak21> hey you guys are da bomb thx for your help
[13:29] <coz_> furqan,  cool it works
[13:30] <taro> coz_: I want that fc-cache scans only the folder .fonts in my home, not all the home folder
[13:30] <entel_> gabriele: can you ssh to it?
[13:30] <taro> coz_: obviously I have other fonts in the home folder, but I don't want to install them
[13:30] <furqan> coz_, thank you .. and grub Leg is better than grub 2
[13:30] <gabriele> entel_, she's behind a router and I hardly believe that she's gonna forward the ssh port to her ip
[13:30] <coz_> furqan,  excellent
[13:31] <coz_> taro,  mm  I have not had this issue with regenerating font cache
[13:31] <entel_> gabriele: just a thought
[13:31] <taro> coz_: It's the first time for me also
[13:31] <coz_> taro,   are you doing  suod fc-cache -fv
[13:31] <entel_> guesss she's not the port forwarding type :\
[13:31] <gabriele> nope XD
[13:32] <gabriele> if she were she wouldn't need this assistance now
[13:32] <ubuntufreak21> hey does anyone now how to run an executable file on ubuntu?
[13:32] <pRoV7x>  I don't know why this happen, once I was in a Cafe and tried to connect to thier WiFi using Ubuntu, many times but, times it doesn't show the network, and times it shows the network but it doesn't connect to it, though I used Win7 before to connect to thier WiiFi and it always work?
[13:32] <gabriele> ikonia, how can i boot linux from grub?
[13:32] <coz_> taro,  you could try  sudo fc-cache (nameof directory)
[13:33] <ubuntufreak21> i want to run linux usb/dvd multiboot installer
[13:33] <taro> coz_: I did sudo fc-cache -fv and had the problem, than sudo fc-cache -r (rescan)
[13:33] <dawcreck> thanks i'l try it
[13:33] <ikonia> gabriele: same was as normal
[13:33] <gabriele> i just need to circumvent this read-only stuff
[13:34] <coz_> taro,  try nameing the directory only with that...also there is a perfect application named  font-manager,, that deals with fonts nicely makeing it possible to disable fonts on the fly
[13:34] <ikonia> gabriele: the mount -o remount rw should have done it - if not there is more of a problem there
[13:34] <ikonia> gabriele: you need to look at the output of the command "mount" and see if it's mounted read only, or read-write
[13:34] <minimec> ubuntufreak21: chmod +x yourfile, then ./yourfile
[13:35] <coz_> taro,  man fc-cache doesn't have a whole lot of info associated with this however
[13:35] <oCean> gabriele: ikonia, it's mount -o remount,rw I think (comma separated)
[13:35] <ubuntufreak21> huh?
[13:35] <gabriele> ikonia, mount says that /dev/sda5 is mounted rw on /
[13:35] <ubuntufreak21> speak english please3
[13:35] <ikonia> gabriele: ok, so do a test and touch a file as a test
[13:35] <minimec> ubuntufreak21: Make fie executable; run file
[13:35] <gartral> ubuntufreak21: that is english
[13:35] <taro> coz_: it's very stange anyway
[13:35] <taro> coz_: I've installed font so many times and never had similar issues
[13:36] <coz_> taro,  yes it sounds so... as I said ,, I have not had this issue  ,, ,I deal with fonts all the time,,
[13:36] <aimtrainer> Hey everybody. I have a wpa key stored in my ubuntu network manager and want to use it under win7. But somehoe it doesn't work. Is there anything I need to change / reformat about the key? When I have Networkmanger display it it reads<PHONE_NUMBER>464782
[13:36] <coz_> taro,  it is odd
[13:36] <gabriele> ikonia, does the possibility of mounting an usb drive and writing on it do constitute a proof?
[13:36] <coz_> taro,  unless the fc-cache "name of directory" command would be helpful
[13:36] <pRoV7x>  I don't know why this happen, once I was in a Cafe and tried to connect to thier WiFi using Ubuntu, many times but, times it doesn't show the network, and times it shows the network but it doesn't connect to it, though I used Win7 before to connect to thier WiiFi and it always work?
[13:36] <Northernen> How can one determine the ATI driver version currently installed on one's system? (11.04.)
[13:36] <ubuntufreak21> k
[13:36] <ikonia> gabriele: no - as that's not / - the issue is you can't write to / so touch a file in /
[13:37] <gabriele> ok
[13:37] <taro> coz_: I used the command and it effectively loaded only that folder
[13:37] <taro> coz_: but I cannot manage to reset my actual cache
[13:37] <coz_> taro,  well that's a start :)
[13:37] <coz_> taro,  mmm
[13:38] <ubuntufreak21> never i dont need to do that
[13:38] <minimec> Northernen: Version of package installed, or /var/log/xorg.0.log
[13:38] <taro> coz_: I'll try the ultimate resource... rebooting
[13:38] <taro> coz_: it works more than expected
[13:38] <ubuntufreak21> i have it already on usb how  do i use yumi for windows 7 iso?
[13:38] <coz_> taro,  i believe the clear font cache command is   fc-cache -rv
[13:39] <gabriele> ikonia, cannot touch
[13:39] <gabriele> read-only
[13:39] <ubuntufreak21> do i just put it in the iso folder?
[13:40] <ikonia> gabriele: ok so it is mounted read only
[13:40] <ikonia> gabriele: I assume you're using sudo
[13:40] <Northernen> minimec, I don't know the name of the package.
[13:41] <gabriele> ikonia, i'm using sudo and mount says /dev/sda5 is rw
[13:41] <ikonia> gabriele: I mean to touch the file you're using sudo
[13:41] <gabriele> ikonia, yes i'm using sudo for basically everything at the moment
[13:43] <minimec> Northernen: something radeon for opensource driver; something fglrx for catalyst
[13:43] <ikonia> gabriele: so are you %100 sure that /dev/sda5 is actually mounted on /
[13:44] <ubuntufreak21> do i just put windows 7 iso in the iso folder?
[13:44] <coz_> Northernen,  you might want to try the #radeon channel,, they may have more info
[13:44] <gabriele> oCean, remount,rw seems to work
[13:44] <gartral> gabriele: can you pastebin the output of mount for us?
[13:44] <gabriele> gardar, i can't 'cause the pc is km away from where I stand
[13:44] <ikonia> gabriele: you said remount works ?
[13:45] <bsdbandit> hello everyone
[13:45] <ubuntufreak21> Can i put the windows 7 iso in the iso folder?
[13:45] <gabriele> ikonia, with remount,rw seems to work
[13:45] <gartral> gabriele: are you SSHing into it?
[13:45] <gabriele> touch works without sudo
[13:45] <ubuntufreak21> ??????
[13:45] <gabriele> and dpkg is running
[13:45] <oCean> gabriele: sounds good
[13:45] <gabriele> oCean, thank you!
[13:45] <ikonia> gabriele: apologies, I thought you said it didn't work

[13:48] <BluesKaj> Northernen, I used to have ati/amd as wel
[13:48] <gabriele> dpkg is running fine for the moment
[13:49] <gabriele> gartral, i can't ssh to that pc 'cause it beyond a firewall and the port is not forwarded :(
[13:49] <ikonia> gabriele: ask her to install pastebinit
[13:51] <gabriele> ikonia, if dpkg doesn't work as expected i'll tell her to install it
[13:51] <gabriele> i hope she could manage to get her pc connected to the net though ^^"
[13:52] <gabriele> 'cause iwconfing doesn't show the wlan device
[13:53] <gartral> gabriele: you might have to walk her through setting up wpa_supplicant
[13:53] <chrisvj> hello. I have a python program I need to run at startup. I have it set up in root's crontab, but when I restart and login, a terminal opened saying permission was denied. I have tried making a shell script that runs it and having crontab run that, but got the same results.
[13:54] <gabriele> gartral, i hope she could use a cabled connection through eth0
[13:54] <hceasy> 求证 xx民 挂了？
[13:54] <bluecatss> 同志们好
[13:55] <hceasy> 求证 xx民  ？？？
[13:55] <Northernen> chrisvj, think you will have to enable UID.
[13:55] <gabriele> tong ??? men hao
[13:55] <hceasy> 求证 xx民  ？？
[13:55] <hceasy> 求证 xx民  ？
[13:55] <dr_willis> chrisvj,   what does the script do?
[13:55] <chrisvj> Northernen: ok, whats it do and how do i do that?
[13:55] <TechFreak21> hey is anybody good with grub?
[13:56] <compdoc> luckily, I havent had to work much with grub
[13:56] <Northernen> chrisvj, UID is a special permission which makes the script run as the owner of the script, regardless of who actually runs it.
[13:56] <Osmodivs> Hello, In Acetone, how do you install 2 ISO's ? I mounted ISO 1, and installed, and then it asked me for ISO 2, but there is no way to choose ISO 2
[13:56] <chrisvj> dr_willis: it is a game server. It doesn't normally require to be ran with root
[13:57] <Northernen> chrisvj, set it with chmod u+s file, and make sure it's executable.
[13:57] <TechFreak21> ok this is what i want to do:
[13:57] <TechFreak21> 1. download windows 7 ultimate iso.
[13:58] <TechFreak21> 2. put it in the yumi muliboot iso folder
[13:58] <chrisvj> Northernen: I have another script that fixes the display (normally classic theme) and that is run with crontab, it works.
[13:58] <TechFreak21> 3. run yumi at boot setup
[13:58] <TechFreak21> is this correct/
[13:58] <TechFreak21> ?
[13:59] <TechFreak21> or do i have to have the right software?
[13:59] <dr_willis> chrisvj,  you could run it from rc.local that will run once at boot time
[13:59] <chrisvj> Northernen: ok, i did that, im going to restart and see if it works now
[13:59] <chrisvj> dr_willis: if this doesnt work, i will
[13:59] <xsinick> I got a good question f
[14:00] <xsinick> for anyone willing to answer
[14:00] <th0r> Osmodivs: in acetoneiso, File-Options-Database, read the help file
[14:00]  * dr_willis waits for the actual question... the suspence is killing me..!
[14:00] <TechFreak21> im started to get upset this shouldnt take this long to respond
[14:00] <ikonia> xsinick: you have to ask the question before we know if we can answer it
[14:00] <TechFreak21> im starting to feel like no one cares
[14:01] <minimec> xsinick: Good questions have always been asked before... ;)
[14:01] <oCean> TechFreak21: calm down
[14:01] <dr_willis> TechFreak21,  We dont make yumi,. ive used it befor.. but i would have to try it and double check its docs.. ive no idea if theres other steps
[14:01] <ikonia> TechFreak21: your question isnothing to do with ubuntu
[14:01] <ikonia> TechFreak21: thats why no-one is answering
[14:01] <dr_willis> TechFreak21,  i recall you CAN dd the windows iso file to a flash and have it boot.. go ask in #windoqws
[14:01] <TechFreak21> ok i will look for yumi chat then lol
[14:02] <lewis1711> is there a way to download .deb files to a particularly directory with apt-get? I have limited internet but a couple of computers with ubuntu
[14:02] <xsinick> is there a way to make an application list or script that can be ran on a fresh install to install that apps you like
[14:02] <Osmodivs> th0r: There is no info on my issue there...
[14:02] <xsinick> with out doing them one by one?
[14:02] <ikonia> xsinick: yes, just write a shell script
[14:03] <xsinick> I think the software center should have this feature
[14:03] <minimec> lewis1711: Choose download only and clear the package cache before. Your files will be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[14:03] <dr_willis> TechFreak21,  you did read the homepage at  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
[14:03] <nightrid3r> lewis1711 you can setup a local update repo and point your other machines to it so they don't use net connection for updates
[14:03] <minimec> lewis1711: All done in synaptics package software.
[14:03] <ikonia> xsinick: it's not, so you need to write a shell script
[14:03] <dr_willis> xsinick,  you an make a simple bash script that does a 'sudo apt-get install whateveryou want toinstall'
[14:03] <dr_willis> xsinick,  i do it all the time.
[14:03] <xsinick> ok
[14:03] <lewis1711> minimec: ah I see it here in man apt-get
[14:04] <dr_willis> !clone | xsinick
[14:04] <lewis1711> nightrid3r: will look into that
[14:04] <xsinick> so i guess it's time to learn linux bash scripting
[14:04] <xsinick> lol
[14:04] <dr_willis> xsinick,  the above commands can read pacakges from a text file..
[14:04] <dr_willis> bash is on more then just linux. :)
[14:04] <minimec> lewis1711: ok. Nice to use 'man'... ;)
[14:04] <xsinick> ahh
[14:05] <gartral> dr_willis: true, but linux has some specific bash commands, so his comment is still valid
[14:05] <dr_willis> xsinick,  the way i do it.. is just a file with row after row of 'sudo apt-get install vim xchat geany'   sort of lines..
[14:05] <xsinick> dr_willis: thanks alot
[14:05] <dr_willis> gartral,  well theres specific programs in linux. :) but thats splitting hairs..
[14:06] <xsinick> ubottu: thanks alot
[14:06] <Pin> Hi, Im in ubuntu 11.04 How do I tell the Ubuntu Software Center to install all the games in the games list?
[14:06] <xsinick> lol
[14:06] <xsinick> ok that's the bot
[14:06] <xsinick> lol
[14:06] <xsinick> ikonia: thanks alot
[14:07] <gartral> Pin: *ALL* the games? Why? you know that's easily a terabyte or more of software
[14:07] <Pin> I want all of them
[14:07] <dr_willis> get clicking then!
[14:08] <gartral> Pin: something tells me your going to run into problems with that plan
[14:09] <ushiu> how do i install an old version of a package?
[14:09] <dr_willis> !pin | ushiu
[14:10] <dr_willis> 525 games..  not a bad # :)
[14:10] <ushiu> thanks
[14:10] <gartral> Pin: many of those games are project dulicates, or similar games, you should really use more disression that "All the games"
[14:10] <Pin1> I want all the games
[14:11] <dr_willis> even ....   You play Bouncy the Hungry Rabbit. You're in a garden with yummy veggies and a farmer who's not keen on you eating them.
[14:11] <Pin1> How do i install all the games, without having to install one by one?
[14:11] <jink> What debian/ubuntu package do I need to install to get jre/lib/endorsed/webservices-api.jar, jre/lib/endorsed/webservices-rt.jar, jre/lib/endorsed/webservices-tools.jar ?
[14:12] <ikonia> jink: I'm guessintg - it's part of software called endorsed"
[14:12] <Osmodivs> http://www.pasteall.org/pic/14746 Ok, this is where I get stuck, how am I suppose to insert disk 2 if I am using Acetone? Does Acetone has an option to install programs with 2 ISO CD's?
[14:12] <Pin1> Hi im using Ubuntu 11.04 . How do I install all the games in the Ubuntu Software Center without having to install one at a time?
[14:12] <HackNewton> hello
[14:13] <nightrid3r> Pin1 you cant, you'll just have to select the games you want
[14:13] <nightrid3r> or write some nice bash script to do it for you
[14:13] <HackNewton> Pin1 you cant do that
[14:13] <ushiu> dr_willis i was hoping for a simpler solution :(
[14:14] <jink> ikonia: ...
[14:14] <ushiu> i just need the tcpdump package that was substituted in march
[14:14] <chrisvj> Northernen: that didnt work. dr_willis what was your solution?
[14:14] <Osmodivs> Pin1: You can start by installing Gnome-Games in synaptic
[14:15] <mangod> hi
[14:15] <mrdeb> can you download firefox 5 for ubuntu 1004 and run it
[14:15] <Northernen> chrisvj, is the problem not being able to run the file, or the fact that it's not run at boot?
[14:15] <Northernen> mrdeb, yes.
[14:15] <HackNewton> yes mrdeb you can download it
[14:15] <HackNewton> :)
[14:15] <mrdeb> should i do that or use ff 3.6
[14:16] <HackNewton> well new ff have many new features
[14:16] <HackNewton> its depends on you
[14:16] <HackNewton> i personally like new look of ff
[14:16] <mangod> I have installed 11.04 to a usb stick, i.e. booted fomr  alive usb and run the installer with usb as the target, but it wont boot. It doesnt seem to have the usb-storage facility available early enough to load rootfs from usb.
[14:16] <mrdeb> you need to install grub to /dev/sdb
[14:17] <mangod> its s slightly different situation to normal install in that the laptop doesn't have an hdd, as its broke, i took it out.
[14:17] <mangod> i have grub on it, that not the problem
[14:17] <mrdeb> it should boot
[14:17] <mangod> the kernl panics trying to load rootfs
[14:17] <HackNewton> well in that situation
[14:17] <mrdeb> what is the size of the usb
[14:17] <mangod> i have chnage it to look at /dev/sda
[14:17] <HackNewton> you have to manaul switch to usb
[14:17] <mangod> as that is what it is with no hdd present
[14:17] <HackNewton> using your boot loader program
[14:17] <HackNewton> BIOS
[14:17] <chrisvj> Northernen: It says there was creating the child process for this terminal. failed to execute child process "/home/server.bat"(Permission denied)
[14:18] <nightrid3r> mangod have a look at unetbootin
[14:18] <mrdeb> get sd card
[14:18] <TechFreak21> how do i use grub to launch iso?
[14:18] <mrdeb> so it wont stick out
[14:18] <mangod> but it doesnt show theusual stuff about finding the usb partitions - i have also added rootdelay=30 - it never sees the usb partitions
[14:18] <mangod> nightrid3r, I used netbootin to make th einitial live usb key
[14:19] <mangod> im trying to install to a live usb key, not just make a live usb key
[14:19] <mangod> i have a wokring live usb key already
[14:19] <nightrid3r> oh ok
[14:19] <mrdeb> well i installed it
[14:19] <mrdeb> and i just did one partition and then installed grub through advanced to /dev/sdb1
[14:19] <mrdeb> that works
[14:20] <milen8204> any one can help I unistaled my Wine and I have one folder in Applications and cant Delete it....any ideas ???
[14:20] <chrisvj> milen8204: sudo apt-get --purge Wine
[14:20] <mangod> the grub part has worked, it loads the kernel, it just fails to find rootfs, and when i oot in recovery mode i can see that it never see the usb-storage device - as if the usb-storage is built as a modeul, not into kernel - and that it is not present if initrd (if initrd is indeed used)
[14:20] <chrisvj> i "think" that "should" work
[14:20] <milen8204> chrisvj, what does that ?
[14:21] <minimec> mangod: Lazy as I am, I simply boot the Live CD.iso file in virtualbox, mount the stick and install. You can also burn a CD-Rom and load that...
[14:21] <minimec> mangod: Just be carefull to take the manual partition options ;)
[14:21] <mrdeb> so its the bios maybe
[14:21] <chrisvj> milen8204: --purge removes all files having to do with the program
[14:21] <milen8204> chrisvj, E: Invalid operation Wine
[14:21] <mangod> no, is nothing to do with the bios
[14:22] <chrisvj> huh? one second
[14:22] <milen8204> chrisvj, should i install wine again ?
[14:22] <HackNewton> can i make my ubuntu desktop to server without formatting my present UBUNTU ?
[14:22] <chrisvj> ok milen8204, open terminal
[14:22] <milen8204> yes
[14:22] <dr_willis> HackNewton,  is your /home/ on its own partition? if so you can reformat / and keep /home/ safe
[14:22] <milen8204> chrisvj, I have done that
[14:23] <Osmodivs> http://www.pasteall.org/pic/14746 Ok, this is where I get stuck, how am I suppose to insert disk 2 if I am using Acetone? Does Acetone has an option to install programs with 2 ISO CD's?
[14:23] <dr_willis> milen8204,  what exactly are you trying to delete..
[14:23] <mangod> judging by the size of the kernel imiage it has innitrd built into it
[14:23] <mangod> but i suspect that usb-storage module is missing
[14:23] <chrisvj> ok, type cd path/to/folder but dont actually type the name of the file
[14:23] <milen8204> dr_willis, in programs I have few files
[14:23] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  copy contents of both disks to a single directory is somthing ive done in the past..
[14:23] <mangod> i just wondered if anybody knew of an easy way to add it
[14:23] <dr_willis> milen8204,  you mean in the MENU items?
[14:24] <milen8204> dr_willis, I had unistal wine and now I have some programs which are not unistaled
[14:24] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: Thank you, I'll try that, I just downloaded Alcohol120 for Windows, I was about to reboot to Windows...
[14:24] <HackNewton> dr_willis, no it dont have its own partition
[14:24] <milen8204> dr_willis, and cant remove them
[14:24] <dr_willis> milen8204,  look in ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs
[14:24] <milen8204> dr_willis, i will try
[14:24] <dr_willis> HackNewton,  i suggest backing up your /home/ doing a new install and copy home files back
[14:25] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  you can easially mount a dozen+ iso files using the loop feature of mount.
[14:25] <HackNewton> in short reformat it :(
[14:25] <HackNewton> anyways
[14:25] <dr_willis> HackNewton,   im not even clear on what you are doing.
[14:25] <chrisvj> dr_willis: what was your solution for terminal saying permissions denied when i try to run a script at startup?
[14:26] <dr_willis> chrisvj,  depends on who/what/when/why
[14:26] <HackNewton> chrisvj, it means you have to be root for running that script
[14:26] <dr_willis> chrisvj,  startup meaning.. system boot.. or user login...
[14:26] <dr_willis> script doing what exactly? Gui app? system service?
[14:27] <HackNewton> dr_willis, i simply want to convert my desktop machine to server machine
[14:27] <milen8204> dr_willis,  If I delete them averething gona be ok ?
[14:27] <chrisvj> HackNewton:  it is in root's crontab file
[14:27] <chrisvj> dr_willis: startup being before login
[14:27] <dr_willis> HackNewton,  you can easially install services on a desktop install.. im not sure what you are 'converting'
[14:27] <chrisvj> so system boot
[14:27] <dr_willis> chrisvj,  simple tools, in /etc/rc.local
[14:28] <dr_willis> HackNewton,  if you dont want X to startup - disable it. via the text option, or diasable the gdm service.
[14:28] <gabriele> gartral, ikonia, oCean, thank you guys! she was able to fix everything and now she has a perfectly working natty
[14:28] <HackNewton> dr_willis, thanks i got answer :D
[14:28] <pc02> hay.......
[14:28] <HackNewton> hi pc02
[14:29] <dr_willis> HackNewton,  im not even sure what the question really was. :)
[14:29] <pc02> Aq Slah Nulis Nick Name,,,BT..
[14:29] <oCean> gabriele: yay!
[14:29] <HackNewton> dr_willis, no problem at all i got brainstorm :D
[14:29] <dr_willis> HackNewton,  better then a brain freeze i guess...
[14:29] <amarcolino> how do I give ownership of a folder to group only?
[14:29] <HackNewton> ha ha
[14:29] <HackNewton> nice one :D
[14:30] <pc02> ^_^
[14:30] <HackNewton> BTW any one knows good IDE for java ?
[14:30] <HackNewton> please dont say NetBeans
[14:31] <HackNewton> amrcolino, use chmod command
[14:31] <HackNewton> amarcolino, use chmod command
[14:31] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: I put the 2 ISOS in one folder, but still asks me for the "disk 2", and I can't find that LOOP otion in mount...
[14:32] <Myrtti> HackNewton: eclipse?
[14:32] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  put the contents of both iso files in a single directory.. mount them both, copy file sover
[14:32] <dr_willis> !iso
[14:32] <amarcolino> HackNewton, :), I know what I am wondering if I wanted to give permission only to group would the syntax be chmod -R .[groupname] [path]
[14:32] <HackNewton> Myrtti, its very much same as NetBeans but thanks any way
[14:32] <dr_willis>  « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> »
[14:34] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: Err... the mount point would be...
[14:34] <pc02> I Alone Here.....
[14:34] <pc02> hellow..
[14:34] <spacebug-> hi pc02
[14:34] <chrisvj> dr_willis: when i try to edit local.sh, it says its read only and asks if i want to overwrite it. i tried changing permissions with root, that didnt do anything
[14:34] <HackNewton> hi pc02
[14:34] <pc02> hi too...
[14:35] <oCean> pc02: do you have a support question? Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:36] <pc02> No...I Dont Know,,,About It...

[14:36] <acodder> hey :)
[14:36] <HackNewton> go on acodder
[14:36] <acodder> my sound is kind low
[14:36] <amarcolino> HackNewton, ok would you be able to type the correct syntax or how would I go about achieving this?
[14:37] <acodder> I fixed doing alsamixer and turning on 'front'
[14:37] <acodder> its fine
[14:37] <acodder> but it didn't store the settings (gotta do everytime I boot up)
[14:37] <acodder> tried alsactl store didn't work :/
[14:37] <acodder> and i'm kinda newb @ this :p
[14:38] <HackNewton> amarcolino, simply use chmod g+wxr [yourpath]
[14:38] <acodder> anyone know how to really change/or save alsa settings?

[14:44] <HackNewton> I know its wrong question here but anyone knows career in Ubuntu Linux out there ?
[14:44] <oCean> HackNewton: if you know it is OT, then don't ask
[14:44] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: I did this: osmodivs@Djiin:~/Desktop/SC4/ISOS$ sudo mount -o loop SC4DELUXE1.iso /home/osmodivs/Desktop/ISO       osmodivs@Djiin:~/Desktop/SC4/ISOS$ sudo mount -o loop SC4DELUXE2.iso /home/osmodivs/Desktop/ISO   But the ISO 2 deletes the ISO 1, and when I open AcetoneISO, it can only mount ISO 2
[14:44] <HackNewton> oCean, Sorry :(
[14:45] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  use 2 differnt names.. copy all files to a 3rf place
[14:45] <Osmodivs> !ask | HackNewton
[14:46] <mrdeb> cool
[14:47] <kombi> what must I do to never see a login prompt again?

[14:49] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: Ok, Use 2 names? like change the name of the ISOS? Please Dr, tell me exactly what to do.
[14:49] <kombi> xangua: tried that but to no avail. Whenever I open the lid the prompt comes on
[14:49] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  make 2 directorys.. mount each iso to its own directory.. copy those contents to a 2rd dirctory
[14:49] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  make 2 directorys.. mount each iso to its own directory.. copy those contents to a 3rd dirctory

[14:52] <amarcolino> can someone tell me what the 'users' group in /etc/groups is for since no users is assigned to it?
[14:52] <tomc> Anyone had something like this?
[14:53] <mrdeb> i havent. can you do a fresh install
[14:53] <slytherinprefect> Having a problem connecting an external monitor (in this case, my LCDTV) to my Acer Aspire One D260 running 11.04 - get garbage video output on both screens unless I'm logged out of Ubuntu.  Am a complete Linux newbie.
[14:54] <HackNewton> amarcolino, i dont have users folder in etc but i do have file named group
[14:54] <tiago__> what's the command to see my disk size and how much is occupied?
[14:55] <mrdeb> tiago__: du
[14:55] <tomc> mrdeb (if you're asking me...) I can't seem to do that.  Reinstalling Hardy doesn't change anything... attempts to install Natty get what's in the pastebin.
[14:56] <minimec> tomc: A direct Hardy-Natty upgrade is/was a bad idea. You will have to install a fresh and clean ubuntu natty.
[14:56] <HackNewton> mrdeb, du dont work
[14:56] <amarcolino> HackNewton, I am trying to work out what is the purpose of the 'users' group  in /etc/group, by default no user or service is assigned to it and I am testing acl.
[14:56] <xangua> minimec: if you read the paste, you'll find out he's trying to upgrade to lucid first
[14:57] <HackNewton> okay
[14:57] <HackNewton> OKAY BYE ALL
[14:58] <tomc> Thanks minimec... maybe I dont get how to do a 'fresh install' I thought I was doing that by burning the .iso file to a cd and using it as a boot disk.
[14:58] <xangua> wait, 'An upgrade from 'lucid' to 'hardy' is not supported with this tool.' ¿¿¿ what exactky are you doing¿ o_O
[14:58] <xangua> tomc
[14:59] <minimec> tomc: Well I would do exactly the same... ;)
[14:59] <tomc> Thanx xangua.... did you see my last about the .iso
[14:59] <mrdeb> how do you boot iso from grub 2
[15:00] <xangua> tomc i have no idea what you are doing>  'An upgrade from 'lucid' to 'hardy'' ¿
[15:00] <tomc> minimec... what would you do if that got you the error msgs in http://paste.ubuntu.com/640818/ .….  : )
[15:00] <shingen> How can I enable showing of network directories in 'open file'
[15:00] <tiago__> mrdeb: that gives me all the files, i just want to know the total
[15:00] <shingen> How can I enable showing of network directories in 'open file' dialogs for other apps other than nautilus itself?
[15:01] <oCean> tiago__: df
[15:01] <mrdeb> tiago__: man du. try du -h /
[15:01] <RonWhoCares> How do I access "Start up manager" in Ubuntu 11
[15:01] <shingen> I can't see sshfs, samba shares, not even linked directories in 'open file' dialogs'...
[15:01] <tomc> xangua... I'm not trying to do that... it looks like the machine thinks it's necessary... I'm looking at the Hardy desktop and the error messages in the paste bin when I boot... that's where I'm stuck... any advice appreciated.
[15:01] <tiago__> mrdeb: i did, it would still go through every dir if i was in root
[15:01] <shingen> RonWhoCares: classic or unity?
[15:01] <tiago__> oCean: thanks
[15:01] <xangua> tomc how about you paste the actual error message output when you try to update/upgrade ¿
[15:02] <RonWhoCares> shingen: I am not sure.  I just installed Ubuntu.  It looks like Windows not, not Linux.  I would like it to be Linux
[15:02] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: Nah, it didn't worked, the folder i created and moved the 2 ISOS converted the ISOS into folders and files. But automatically created a 4th folder in my desktop, wich contained the 2 ISOS, I opened AcetoneISO and mounted the 4th folder, wich contained the 2 ISOS, selected one and mounted it - and automatically opened a window with the setup.exe file- I selected the other SO and mounted it too, - wich opened another window with the rungame.ex
[15:02] <Osmodivs> e file- so, I clicked in the setup file to install it, choose the path to instalation, installing, and then asks me for the 2nd CD....
[15:02] <tomc> Ok, xangua... give me a minute
[15:02] <minimec> tomc: there were so much changes in Ubuntu between the last LTS versions, starting with ext4, remove of HAL... I would not have tried the upgrade to Lucid. I would have installed Lucid or Natty from scratch-
[15:02] <xangua> RonWhoCares: already installed staru up manager'¿
[15:03] <RonWhoCares> xangua: Yes I did, but I don't know how to access it.  I have about 10 boxes on the left hand side of the menu
[15:03] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  you are making this too complex
[15:03] <RonWhoCares> I mean the left hand side of the screen
[15:04] <xangua> RonWhoCares: how about you run 'startupmanager'
[15:04] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  mount iso1 to ISO1.. mount iso2 to ISO2   mkake a dir 'ALLSTUFF'   copy files from iso1  to ALLSTUFF   do same for Iso2
[15:04] <dr_willis> cd to ALLSTUFF  run 'wine theinstallername.exe'
[15:05] <dr_willis> I have had to do this trick in the past for games that came on multi disks.
[15:05] <slytherinprefect> Any ideas on the external monitor, should I repost?
[15:05] <dr_willis> bbl.. gotta get the grill going
[15:06] <RonWhoCares> xangua: How do I give this command?
[15:06] <tomc> xangua... see http://paste.ubuntu.com/640823/
[15:07] <xangua> tomc i was refering to apt-get update && upgrade
[15:07] <xangua> or tried: apt-get install -f    ¿
[15:07] <karmic-koala> hi all i think something silly now i can't undo it. i was playing around with keyboard shortcuts in natty System Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts and i may have accidently mapped the del key to a non command but i can't find the custom mapping now
[15:08] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: Well, I followed your instructions
[15:08] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: Are you sure you have done this before? I have to say they are .exe files in there
[15:08] <Osmodivs> dr_willis: What do you do if it asks you for a 2nd CD?
[15:09] <RonWhoCares> xangua: Is there a way to make Ubuntu 11 to look like Linux (such as version 9) instead of Windows 7?
[15:09] <mrdeb> ron which
[15:09] <RonWhoCares> I want to make it look like version 9
[15:10] <mrdeb> what is version 9
[15:10] <mrdeb> karmic
[15:10] <RonWhoCares> Ubuntu 9
[15:10] <RonWhoCares> I just went from Ubuntu 9 to 11
[15:10] <mrdeb> what do you want to do. the bar at the top
[15:10] <shingen> anyone know how to enable network shares and symlinks to appear in 'open file' dialogs in other programs (firefox & vlc for instance)?  I see network shares & symlinks just fine in nautilus
[15:11] <mrdeb> ?
[15:11] <basimple> ls
[15:11] <RonWhoCares> I want to get the menu system back the way I use to be able to load programs
[15:11] <tomc> Got it xangua... that command downloaded a bunch of files (progress..!), now do I run the update manager?
[15:11] <mrdeb> RonWhoCares: use classic ubuntu at logon, instead of ubuntu. it will look like gnome
[15:11] <tiago__> if i want to be able to call a newly installed program from anywhere any location in the shell, how do i do it?
[15:11] <mrdeb> tiago__: just type the name
[15:12] <mrdeb> or hit alt f2
[15:12] <xangua> !classic | RonWhoCares
[15:12] <shingen> okay, let's try this... can anyone confirm they don't see  network shares and symlinks to appear in 'open file' dialogs in firefox or vlc?
[15:12] <tiago__> mrdeb: doesn't work, I have to be in the dir where the file is, and put ./
[15:12] <mrdeb> whats the program
[15:12] <tiago__> mrdeb: doesn't matter, any program
[15:12] <shingen> sshfs, samba or ftp(fs)
[15:13] <oCean> tiago__: the executable of such package, has to be in one of the bin directories in the PATH variable. So you have to edit that variable.
[15:13] <mrdeb> is it executable not installed
[15:13] <tiago__> oCean: ok that was the answer i was looking for
[15:13] <mrdeb> you can make a symlink to it in usr/bin
[15:13] <oCean> tiago__: for example, to add a directory in your homedir:   export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
[15:13] <mrdeb> i think
[15:13] <tiago__> oCean: exactly, i didn't remember how it was exactly, thanks
[15:13] <RonWhoCares> ahhh  thanks
[15:14] <tiago__> oCean: but i think this info was always lost when i shutdown the pc
[15:14] <oCean> tiago__: in that case, add that "export ... " line to your .bashrc file
[15:14] <tiago__> ok
[15:14] <shingen> w00t, found my answer on ubuntu forums, but it basically means, ubuntu sucks!

[15:17] <RonWhoCares> Next question: How do I access Start Up Manager?  I want to change the list of programs at start up
[15:17] <mty> hello
[15:18] <xangua> RonWhoCares: run startupmanager or search start up manager in the unity menu
[15:18] <tomc> xangua... Looks like it's working...!  I ran apt-get update && upgrade... got a bunch of downloads, then a msg saying 'bash: upgrade command not found'
[15:18] <shingen> RonWhoCares: if you're using classic and want the same functionality to search and find things like unity, install gnome do
[15:19] <tomc> So I ran apt-get upgrade and it seems to be working.... thanks!
[15:20] <RonWhoCares> shingen: I am installing gnome do
[15:22] <RonWhoCares> shingen: ok.  It is installed.  where is the RUN command you are talking about
[15:22] <xangua> ...
[15:22] <shingen> winkey-space
[15:24] <spacebug-> is there a way to put shotcuts in the unity-launcher? Home is there so I guess it should be
[15:25] <RonWhoCares> ok
[15:25] <RonWhoCares> I have winkey - space
[15:25] <shingen> did it pop up the dialog?
[15:25] <shingen> you have to find and run gnome-do for the first time
[15:25] <Nobgul-bnc> what exactly are you trying to do that is all this complicated?
[15:25] <shingen> that's in applications > utilities or something, not on classic right now
[15:25] <RonWhoCares> yes  a box with a magnifine glass came up
[15:25] <shingen> type in startup manager in the box with magnifying glass :)

[15:31] <patrick> Hallo
[15:32] <woozly> how to make bash script which will works without typing './myscript arg1 arg2', and just with typing 'myscript arg1 arg2'?
[15:32] <RonWhoCares> shngen ok I have accessed it
[15:32] <oCean> woozly: the script has to be in one of the bin directories in the PATH variable. So you have to edit that variable.
[15:33] <vlt> woozly: You could create an alias or put it to something in your PATH
[15:33] <woozly> oh, how can I create alias with arguments?
[15:33] <dawcreck> is there a program to play blu-ray on ubuntu?
[15:34] <oCean> woozly: you would need a shell function, not alias
[15:34] <vlt> woozly: I think just create the alias and it will pass the args for you.
[15:34] <RonWhoCares> How do I  uninstall ubuntu 9.04 ?  Right now on my startup menu it is listed, with Windows XPand Ubuntu 11

[15:38] <oCean> Guest69991: I don't think ubuntu is in the oracle certify matrix
[15:39] <iceroot> Guest69991: is there a reason you need oracle db? instead of a free database from a company which is not evil like hell?
[15:41] <Guest69991> iceroot: Iḿ trying to write a program for my customer, Thatś why
[15:41] <oCean> Guest69991: it's not a supported configuration
[15:42] <iceroot> Guest69991: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/entry/installing_oracle_databse_11g  maybe that is helping but normally you are using sles or red hat for oracle db
[15:43] <Guest69991> iceroot: this is the problem which I faced: .oui: 2: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
[15:43] <iceroot> Guest69991: i think the oracle support is best for that
[15:43] <RonWhoCares> is there a way to uninstall ubunto 9.04   I have ubunto 11 now installed.  Both operating systems are on the same computer  I want to take 9.04 off
[15:43] <oCean> Guest69991: please stop this discussion, it's not supported here, and oracle is not supporting ubuntu linux
[15:44] <Guest69991> okay. thanks anyway
[15:44] <iceroot> Guest69991: but as i said i think you need sles, red hat or unbreakable linux for oracle db
[15:46] <BluesKaj>  RonWhoCares , just format the 9,04 parttion then expand the 11 into the freespace
[15:47] <RonWhoCares> do I do this within Ubuntu 11?
[15:47] <anadon> hey, how do I mark a repository as trusted?
[15:47] <user_>  Hi..I would like to watch the number of interupts coming from my netwok adaptor
[15:47] <user_>  I tried http://pastie.org/2187914 but watch will not update. Please help me understand the reason
[15:47] <rumpe1> RonWhoCares, be sure, that the bootsector doesn't point anymore to the partition, you wish to format
[15:48] <xangua> anodon add the repository key, if it's a ppa, you'll fin the instructions on the ppa page itself
[15:48] <Araneidae> How do I scan using my network attached printer?  xscan says "no devices available"
[15:48] <RonWhoCares> I used startup manager earlier
[15:48] <anadon> xangua: which is where?  currently its with a repository with adobe flash
[15:49] <Abhijit> !scan | Araneidae
[15:50] <ikonia> user_: why do you want to see interupts ?
[15:50] <ikonia> user_: what's the actual problem you're having ?
[15:51] <user_> ikonia: no particular reason...I just want to practice using 'watch'
[15:51] <ikonia> user_: that's also now how you use awk
[15:51] <RonWhoCares> BluesKaj: where is the 'format' option?
[15:52] <ikonia> user_: also watch is there to watch a running program, not a 1 output command
[15:52] <Araneidae> Abhijit, alas the ScanningHowTo doesn't say a lot about LAN-based scanners.  Mentions HP, but mine is a Samsung... Guess I'll try it anyhow
[15:52] <Abhijit> ok
[15:53] <Araneidae> Oh.  I don't seem to have hplib in my repository
[15:53] <tiago__> i have 3 files of different type with the same name, how can i change the name of the three files and maintain their extension ?
[15:53] <user_> ikonia: okay...thank you for telling me...btw, so what is the correct way to use awk?
[15:54] <BluesKaj> RonWhoCares, you have to run the partitoning from a separate livecd like gparted ,,,one can't format a partition on a drive that's mounted (being used)
[15:54] <ikonia> user_: it's a rather large command, there are many ways
[15:54] <Araneidae> I get: "E: Unable to locate package hplib"
[15:55] <RonWhoCares> BluesKaj: How do I get gparted   Or is this available from the GRUB prompt at start up?
[15:55] <Nobgul-bnc> RonWhoCares, it is
[15:55] <ikonia> RonWhoCares: it's an application, you install it
[15:55] <Araneidae> Should I have hplib available for install?  I seem to be missing the package from my repositories, which seems odd
[15:55] <oCean> Araneidae: it is hplip
[15:55] <ikonia> RonWhoCares: open the package manager, search for gparted, install it
[15:55] <xangua> RonWhoCares: use gparted from the live cd
[15:56] <user_> ikonia: does it involve using a loop?
[15:56] <xangua> RonWhoCares: and remember to always have a backup when playing with partitions
[15:56] <ikonia> user_: no
[15:56] <Araneidae> hplib not found
[15:56] <oCean> Araneidae: it is hplip   with a P
[15:56] <ikonia> Araneidae: lip "P"
[15:56] <Araneidae> hPlib ?
[15:56] <Araneidae> Huh.
[15:56] <BluesKaj> download and burn the gparted live cd , RonWhoCares  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[15:56] <ikonia> Araneidae: are you serious
[15:57] <oCean> Araneidae: Linux Imaging and Printing
[15:57] <ikonia> Araneidae: read what oCean has typed
[15:57] <Araneidae> p
[15:57] <Araneidae> oh crap
[15:57] <ikonia> hpliP not hplib
[15:57] <Araneidae> sorry

[15:58] <SEENA>  hi can any one please help me , system not detecting the usb drive
[15:59] <Firefishe> I'm using the egroupware suite.  I've just configured most of it, but I don't have a normal user set up yet (probably as database, as I'm not using LDAP).  I need to know how to set up a normal user.
[16:00] <Araneidae> Ho hum.  Seems that the Samsung CLX-1370 doesn't speak HP all-in-one and I've not found anything else relevant yet
[16:00] <tiago__> SEENA: did you check the media file in root?
[16:00] <user_> ikonia: would you mind giving a brief description?
[16:01] <oCean> Firefishe: and you ask in #ubuntu because..?
[16:01] <ikonia> user_: yes, it's a massive topic awk, I suggest you research how it can be used
[16:01] <Firefishe> oCean: I ask in #ubuntu because, in many case, as well as *asking in #egroupware which I have already done*, someone has cross-platform experience and can answer my question.
[16:01] <Firefishe> case=cases
[16:01] <Firefishe> see, I even correct my own typos :P
[16:03] <oCean> Firefishe: that might be true, but it's still offtopic in this channel, which is ubuntu specific
[16:04] <Firefishe> oCean: I don't know about you, but I've seen many non-OS-specific questions in here answered.  If you can't answer my question, please, just don't answer.
[16:04] <Firefishe> I mean no offense.
[16:04] <Firefishe> egroupware is in the ubuntu repositories

[16:28] <th0r> arch_adam: if the module is on the cd, yes. If you need to compile it then no, probably not
[16:29] <arch_adam> th0r, will there be an acx100 mod for ubuntu?
[16:29] <th0r> arch_adam: don't know...I moved to debian
[16:30] <cyphaw> Thing is, the sound is too high, so I always put the volume at less than 20%. Is there anyway to glpbally scale down the volume? I'm using pulseaudio, btw. Thx
[16:30] <bad_alloc> Hello, I've got an ubuntu 10.04 64 bit with a nvidia geforce GTS 450. Now I'd like to install the proprietary drivers. Is it sufficient to just install nvidia-current via apt-get (and do i have to edit my X config afterwards or should I stick with the drivers from the nvidia website?

[16:33] <Araneidae> Is it possible my sane-xerox_mfp is antiquated?  Can somebody compare the CONFIGURATION section of their `man sane-xerox_mfp` with this: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-xerox_mfp.5.html please
[16:34] <faelle> how can i pass a initrd command in grub2 ? want to do it for fbsplash
[16:34] <kutchbhi> are LTS releases thoroughly tested releases or just releases that will get Long term support ?
[16:34] <Araneidae> Having added the tcp line as suggested, running `SANE_DEBUG_XEROX_MFP=4 scanimage -L` produces a very interesting message:
[16:34] <ikonia> Araneidae: you have access to man sane-xerox_mfp" - you can do it yourself
[16:34] <Rudolf_> My pc isnt detecting wifi network
[16:34] <Araneidae> [xerox_mfp] dev_open: sanei_usb_open(tcp printer.araneidae.co.uk): Invalid argument
[16:34] <ikonia> kutchbhi: same tests as everyother release, just supported longer
[16:34] <Araneidae> ikonia, I'm asking for confirmation
[16:34] <Rudolf_> Wts d prob?
[16:34] <fzapp> Rudolf_ what pc do you got?
[16:35] <ikonia> Araneidae: you don't need confirmation, your man pages is the same as everyone elses
[16:35] <Araneidae> In my case the man page says "None required" under configuration, which suggests it's behind the times
[16:35] <Araneidae> Ok.  Then presumably Ubuntu's packages are out of date?
[16:35] <ikonia> Araneidae: so my man page will also say "none required"
[16:35] <Rudolf_> Lennovo with ubuntu 11
[16:35] <ikonia> Araneidae: possibly, they are not all bleeding edge
[16:35] <rcmaehl> Help. I safely removed my sd card from my computers internal card reader, now the card reader doesn't show up
[16:36] <dimiandre> hi all, someone can say me how to install QT libraryes on ubuntu 11.04 ?
[16:36] <ikonia> dimiandre: open the package manager, search for the QT libraries you want, hit "install"
[16:36] <ikonia> rcmaehl: you'll only see the devices IN the card reader, not the card reader it's self
[16:36] <Rudolf_> Is there some sofware like wifi manager fo ubuntu?
[16:36] <dimiandre> ikonia thanks
[16:36] <rcmaehl> ikonia: I have another device in the card reader
[16:37] <ikonia> rcmaehl: you should see that device, if it has a valid partition table on it
[16:37] <fzapp> Rudolf_, what wifi connection do you have ? What device ? Is not a notebook?
[16:37] <koffeehaus> ok
[16:37] <Rudolf_> Ya..a laptop
[16:37] <tingtong> are LTS releases thoroughly tested releases or just releases that will get Long term support ?
[16:37] <rcmaehl> ikonia: the other device (a cf card) disappeared when I safely removed the sd card.
[16:38] <ikonia> tingtong: it's the same testing as any other release, just with long term support
[16:38] <ikonia> tingtong: I answered this question when you used the nickname kutchbhi
[16:38] <Rudolf_> I am trying to connect to my college wifi network
[16:38] <Rudolf_> But tis not detecting the college's network
[16:39] <fzapp> Rudolf_, may be you have in your keyboard a key to do that
[16:39] <fzapp> Rudolf_, check it
[16:39] <fzapp> it s a key with a anthem
[16:39] <Rudolf_> I have a key, that used to work with windows
[16:40] <koffeehaus> Rudolf: maybe there is a certificate issue with the wifi? universities do that sometimes
[16:40] <fzapp> Rudolf_, but wifi is connecting or listing another connections ?
[16:40] <tingtong> real shame then,
[16:40] <JensenDied> Is there a good reason someone added symlinks from /etc/modprobe.d to /lib/linux-sound-base/noOSS.modprobe.conf /lib/linux-sound-base/noALSA.modprobe.conf in the current lts? or did i need to find this change blindly to get sound to work again for the hell of it?
[16:40] <rcmaehl> ikonia: the other device (a cf card) disappeared when I safely removed the sd card.
[16:40] <Rudolf_> But tis not working in linux
[16:40] <Kevin`> ubuntu starts wd_keepalive AFTER the filesystem checks, resulting in a system that goes into a reset loop if filesystem checks are ever started
[16:40] <tingtong> it would be nice if ubuntu released a thoroughly tested LTS release , instead of throwing a buggy piece of shit every 6 months
[16:40] <Kevin`> how can I change this?
[16:40] <ikonia> tingtong: control your language
[16:40] <ikonia> tingtong: the release IS tested
[16:41] <mrdeb> tingtong: 1004 is lts
[16:41] <ikonia> tingtong: the LTS release is supported longer.
[16:41] <mrdeb> please do not use bad language
[16:41] <ikonia> tingtong: it would be nice if people didn't come into this channel making silly comments about things they didn't understand
[16:41] <ikonia> but that still happens
[16:41] <Rudolf_> Ya..my friend's laptop got connected
[16:42] <Rudolf_> But mine isnt
[16:42] <tingtong> do ubuntu people of have no self respect?
[16:42] <tingtong> I mean you are like slaves
[16:42] <ikonia> tingtong: they do
[16:42] <dimiandre> another question.. how i can hide an user from the login menu  ?
[16:42] <tingtong> testing a buggy distro every 6 months
[16:42] <ikonia> tingtong: do you have a support issue, or do you want to just rant ?
[16:42] <tingtong> again and agian and agin
[16:42] <RonWhoCares> BluesKaj are you still  logged in
[16:42] <tingtong> list you have no life
[16:43] <BluesKaj> RonWhoCares, yes, I'm here
[16:43] <JensenDied> he's more than welcome to use something else, sheesh
[16:43] <Kevin`> nobody knows how to change the startup order?
[16:44] <xangua> kevin` install boot up manager
[16:44] <RonWhoCares> BluesKaj: I just finished downloading and installing gparted onto my USB memory stick.  I have the laptop computer I am working on loaded.  I have two options:  Start Clonezilla OR Enter command line prompt
[16:44] <Rudolf_> Is there a software like wifi manager?
[16:44] <Kevin`> xangua: that will let me set wd_keepalive to start before the disk checks?
[16:44] <th0r> Rudolf_: wicd?
[16:44] <RonWhoCares> BluesKaj: My goal is to remove the ubunto 9.04
[16:45] <rcmaehl> "swapoff: /dev/sdc4: swapoff failed: Cannot allocate memory" what does this mean?
[16:45] <Kevin`> rcmaehl: you have no free memory
[16:45] <Rudolf_> What is wicd?
[16:45] <xangua> kevin` mmm what i told you is just to edit grub :P
[16:45] <mrdeb> Rudolf_: network manager that's smaller and quicker
[16:45] <xangua> Rudolf_: see the little network icon at the right top corner¿
[16:45] <mrdeb> instead of gnome network manager
[16:45] <xangua> there you have
[16:45] <BluesKaj> RonWhoCares, so you're booted into gparted ?
[16:45] <Rudolf_> Th0r, whats wicd
[16:45] <rcmaehl> Kevin`: >.< chromium
[16:46] <RonWhoCares> BluesKaj: Yes I have.  These are the top options I have now.  Start Clonezilla OR Enter command line prompt
[16:47] <BluesKaj> clonezilla is a copy image application...that's not what we want ..we want gparted GUI , RonWhoCares
[16:47] <Araneidae> Is there a clean way to install a local build of sane-backends while keeping everything else?
[16:48] <xangua> RonWhoCares: or just use Gparted from the ubuntu live cd
[16:48] <Rudolf_> Anyone?
[16:48] <Araneidae> Presumably I need to uninstall libsane ... but then that'll force an uninstall of xsane, which I don't want.
[16:48] <ikonia> Araneidae: dpkg supports local package
[16:48] <xangua> (11:45:21) xangua: Rudolf_: see the little network icon at the right top corner¿
[16:48] <Araneidae> ikonia, ach -- so I need to build a dpkg first
[16:48] <ikonia> Araneidae: a deb file, yes
[16:48] <BluesKaj> xangua, he's got it on usb and says he's booted into it ...never heard of clonezilla on gparted before
[16:49] <Flannel> Araneidae: Or just build it, stick it in /usr/local/* and then make a dummy package for libsane
[16:49] <Araneidae> I guess the trick is to use apt-get source and try and apply the Ubuntu patches?
[16:49] <th0r> Rudolf_: you asked for an alternative to the wifi manager....wicd is a possibility
[16:49] <Araneidae> Flannel, that's an interesting idea
[16:49] <Flannel> Araneidae: It's not the cleanest, of course.
[16:49] <xangua> the ubuntu live cd/ live usb, the fact is that is already there
[16:49] <rcmaehl> ikonia: How do I change swapiness?
[16:50] <BluesKaj> RonWhoCares, are you sure you're on gparted ?
[16:50] <TechFreak21> hey how do you  get an iso that works for grub?
[16:50] <rcmaehl> ikonia: I don't know how since ailirus isn't update for 11.04
[16:50] <Araneidae> It's annoying that Ubuntu is a year behind on sane-backends
[16:50] <RonWhoCares> BluesKaj: Does the option "Work with disks or partitions using images" seem better
[16:50] <ikonia> rcmaehl: what ?
[16:50] <Rudolf_> K
[16:50] <RonWhoCares> it may be asking me to backup before I begin
[16:50] <BluesKaj> RonWhoCares, uhm yes
[16:51] <xangua> Araneidae: depends of the ubuntu   version you use, it doesn't always have the latest
[16:51] <TechFreak21> how do you huh? huh! Huuuuhhhh!
[16:51] <Rudolf_> Thanx
[16:52] <rcmaehl> ikonia: swappiness is how often the distro uses swap
[16:52] <ikonia> rcmaehl: yes, I know what it is, I'm asking what you're actually asking/wanting to do
[16:53] <rcmaehl> ikonia: I want to change the value
[16:53] <ikonia> rcmaehl: why and to what ?
[16:53] <rcmaehl> ikonia: b/c I'll get better performance and to 10
[16:54] <ikonia> rcmaehl: why do you think you'll get better performance ?
[16:54] <minimec> rcmaehl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#What%20is%20swappiness%20and%20how%20do%20I%20change%20it?
[16:54] <rcmaehl> ikonia: I have before on 10.04 and b/c of my computer habits
[16:54] <jtiner> good morning guyus
[16:54] <jtiner> guys that is
[16:55] <ikonia> then either change it in /proc/sys/vm/swappiness or set it in sysctl.conf
[16:55] <TechFreak21> will someone pm me help
[16:55] <ikonia> rcmaehl: make sure you know what you're doing though
[16:55] <ikonia> TechFreak21: what's the problem
[16:56] <TechFreak21> i want to know how to boot a windows 7 ultimate iso that i downloaded
[16:56] <minimec> rcmaehl: You might indeed have a certain performance boost, if you have a low memory system. If possible, put the swap on a different HD or USB drive. You can easily create a swapfile, you don't need a partition.
[16:56] <dr_willis> TechFreak21,  i have urls to guides on booting iso files via grub2 at my links -->  http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2
[16:56] <ikonia> TechFreak21: ok - that's nothing to do with ubuntu as you've beent old multiple times
[16:57] <dr_willis> TechFreak21,   google for a correct grub.cfg entry for that iso. basically.
[16:57] <rcmaehl> minecraftfan: I have a 5.0 gb swap on a hdd by itself
[16:57] <rcmaehl> minimec: I have a 5.0 gb swap on a hdd by itself
[16:57] <minimec> rcmaehl: We don understand eachother ;)
[16:57] <rcmaehl> minimec: the rest of the space is free
[16:57] <rcmaehl> however
[16:57] <rcmaehl> that HDD is failing
[16:57] <TechFreak21> is diffuclt to use grub?
[16:57] <ikonia> TechFreak21: it can be depending on your experience
[16:58] <TechFreak21> i know nothing about it
[16:58] <TechFreak21> but iam an easy and quick learner
[16:58] <ikonia> TechFreak21: the best option is to burn the iso onto a CD
[16:58] <dr_willis> !grub2 | TechFreak21
[16:59] <minimec> rcmaehl: So that is a swap partition, not a swapfile, fight?
[16:59] <rcmaehl> minimec: yes
[16:59] <TechFreak21> i dont have a cd burner
[16:59] <TechFreak21> these links arent opening
[16:59] <minimec> rcmaehl: Why do you use such an amount of swap. Are you hibernating your computer, or do you work with large media files?
[17:00] <ikonia> TechFreak21: they do work
[17:00] <ikonia> TechFreak21: if you purchase microsoft windows, they will give you a CD for free
[17:00] <ikonia> TechFreak21: you can mail them with your activation code and they will send you one out for free
[17:00] <Jahooty> how can i get banshee to look up cdbb info?
[17:00] <rcmaehl> minimec: both
[17:00] <ikonia> Jahooty: should do it by default, mine certainly does
[17:00] <TechFreak21> what about a recovery cd
[17:00] <Jahooty> it keeps failing
[17:00] <ikonia> TechFreak21: that's the same thing, the recovery CD is the install CD
[17:01] <TechFreak21> is that the same thing?
[17:01] <TechFreak21> ok
[17:01] <minimec> rcmaehl: Still... I would format that separate HD and use it as swap (swapfile) and backup. You would be much more flexible, I guess.
[17:01] <impiza>  techfreak21 use abusb  for make bootable windows 7
[17:01] <TechFreak21> well ill be getting on in a few days im just looking for free windows 7 ultimate iso download
[17:02] <rcmaehl> TechFreak21: get it from the microsoft site
[17:02] <ikonia> TechFreak21: if you don't have the tools to use it, the best option is to just wait for the official one to arive
[17:02] <TechFreak21> how
[17:02] <ikonia> TechFreak21: the guys in ##windows can help
[17:03] <ikonia> TechFreak21: /join ##windows
[17:03] <oconnore> hi, can someone help me save my system? I did something stupid, and now my libstdc++ is unusable, which means that I don't have dpkg, apt, apt-get or aptitude.
[17:03] <oconnore> thus no way to fix it
[17:03] <ikonia> oconnore: what did you do
[17:03] <oconnore> er... no easy way
[17:04] <oconnore> ikonia: i upgraded my X11 from oneiric on a natty install, and it pulled in the next libstdc++
[17:04] <ikonia> oconnore: for me - just re-install,
[17:04] <ikonia> oconnore: mixing repos and deps is just a disaster, so the best way to go back to a sane distro is to re-install from a stable release.
[17:05]  * oconnore makes an "eeghl" noise
[17:05] <oconnore> but ok
[17:05] <ikonia> oconnore: sorry, it's the most realisitc option
[17:05] <ikonia> you can do many other things, but the most realistic is to reinstall to a sane base
[17:06] <minimec> oconnore: YOu could try to recover with a LIve CD in a chroot environment.
[17:06] <soultekkie> does anyone successfully installed network-manager 0.9 (0.8999) on lucid?
[17:06] <oconnore> minimec: thanks, I guess I will play around for another few minutes and then take ikonia's advice if i haven't got anywhere
[17:06] <dimensiON> whats the  best Im for ubuntu?
[17:06] <ikonia> minimec: how - if he chroots, it's into the broken environment
[17:06] <Ericthegreat> hey you guys how I use hdmi in ubuntu?
[17:07] <Ericthegreat> trying to hook pc up to tv
[17:07] <minimec> ikonia: Which is true... I agree.
[17:07] <soultekkie> dimensi0N: emesene or amsn probablly... i use pidgin too
[17:08] <dimensiON> thanks
[17:09] <jtiner> hey guys i'm running into a strange problem - i have a relatively fresh install of ubuntu - never had this problem until last night - but now when i try to issue a command using 'sudo' it tells me that my user name is no in the sudoers file - i can issue 'su' and login as root still - but this only happen when i use sudo - ideas on a quicky fix?
[17:10] <wildc4rd> evenin' all!
[17:10] <Araneidae> jtiner, su to root and run `visudo` to fix it
[17:10] <Abhijit> jtiner, add yourself to sudoers group
[17:10] <jtiner> gonna try that now
[17:10] <Araneidae> That's true: sudoers should just have '%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL' at the bottom
[17:11] <minimec> Ericthegreat: So just plugging the cable was not successfull? Do yyou know what kind of GPU you run. According to your GPU there would be the property tools from ATI/NVIDIA or the Monitor Preferences tool for the opensource driver. With these tools you can probably configure HDMI output.
[17:11] <jtiner> just add my username to the user aliases portion?
[17:12] <Ericthegreat> just noticed I do not have the restricted driver in use lemme see if that fixes it brb
[17:12] <Araneidae> jtiner, you want to edit /etc/groups
[17:12] <codingenesis> how to add users in GUI
[17:12] <Araneidae> jtiner, you want to edit /etc/group
[17:12] <codingenesis> i don't have users settings option
[17:14] <Abhijit> codehotter, system->administration->users & groups
[17:14] <codingenesis_> how to add users in ubuntu
[17:14] <Abhijit> codingenesis,  system->administration->users & groups
[17:15] <codingenesis> Abhijit, i dont have that option over there...!!
[17:15] <Abhijit> codingenesis, which version of ubuntu ?
[17:15] <Araneidae> codingenesis, are you logged in as an administrator?
[17:15] <codingenesis> 10.04
[17:16] <codingenesis> ya i am login as a root
[17:16] <codingenesis> is there any other way i can add users...!!
[17:16] <xangua> codingenesis: login as root¿¿ bad idea
[17:17] <codingenesis> that's the reason why i want to make a user
[17:17] <Dynamit> use adduser <username>
[17:17] <Dynamit> in terminal
[17:17] <Dynamit> to give sudo right adduser <username> admin
[17:18] <Dynamit> after that it should be ready to use
[17:18] <TechFreak21> hey back
[17:18] <codingenesis> Dynamit, i have to write admin after the username??
[17:19] <Dynamit> yes to give sudo rights
[17:19] <claviusmond> how do I sue sudo make clean to get rid of an application named atlas?
[17:19] <claviusmond> use
[17:19] <codingenesis> but i made the user without writing admin..
[17:19] <codingenesis> now can i give that user admin rights ??
[17:19] <Dynamit> i can search on what the command is
[17:20] <Araneidae> codingenesis, all you have to do is edit /etc/group and add the username to the admin line
[17:20] <Dynamit> i think is the same but not sure
[17:20] <muppet_> can anyone help me out tring to ssh from a virtualbox machine (debian) into an ubuntu host - the connection is rejected by firewall ( using firestarter) if it turn off firewall the connection is fine....
[17:20] <Ericthegreat> hey you guys when I activated restricted ati driver I no longer have unity....
[17:20] <Ericthegreat> why
[17:20] <Dynamit> use Araneidae way to do it
[17:21] <codingenesis> Dynamit and Araneidae thanks :)
[17:21] <Dynamit> no problem
[17:22] <dr_willis> !firewall
[17:23] <muppet_> i have tried to allow the ssh port (22) with firestarter but it still rejects the connections
[17:23] <Padge> Does an application have to do anything special to work with the Unity launcher?
[17:23] <Padge> x-chat starts a new instance whenever I click it
[17:23] <Padge> Does Canonical recommend any particular IRC client?
[17:24] <Abhijit> Padge, nope
[17:24] <Abhijit> Padge, see if there is any bug reported. click on affects me too. if not report a bug.
[17:25] <dr_willis> i like weechat
[17:25] <Dynamit> i would say xchat is okey
[17:25] <jtiner> i think i hosed something that was installed by default
[17:25] <Dynamit> but i like the interface of NoNameScript better
[17:26] <Padge> X-chat is okay, but it's not jiving well with Unity
[17:27] <Dynamit> i use clean gnome whit the UI that is default in Ubuntu 11.04 whit supportet grafic card's
[17:27] <TechFreak21> impiza?
[17:27] <Dynamit> so i can't say any thing about IRC Client's whit Unity use
[17:27] <Otaku789> does ubuntu 11.04 support dm-crypt on root file systems ? Can i use a full system encryption on it
[17:27] <Dynamit> when
[17:27] <Dynamit> i should
[17:27] <gbili> hi, I'd like to enable virtual hosts in my apache2, so i followed the basic steps: 1. create file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.conf, 2. edit /etc/hosts, 3 call a2ensite, 4. reload apache2, but it wond redirect to my new website, but simply to localhost. What can i do?
[17:27] <szal> TechFreak21: we don't take pizza orders here :P
[17:28] <Guest4896> a
[17:28] <Dynamit> i have you encryption on my Ubuntu 11.04 but forgot the password so i was need to remove user and creat new one
[17:28] <Dynamit> use
[17:28] <Dynamit> not you LOL
[17:29] <ubuntuuser123> hi. a quick one about moonlight: can someone temporarily put .mozilla/plugins/moonlight/silverlight-media-pack-linux-x86-21-1.so file to somewhere? microsoft server is not working for me and I'm trying to get moonlight videos working on a friend's computer
[17:30] <ubuntuuser123> moonlight itself installed fine, but codec installation has always failed for hours now - either not starting or always failing at some specific point of download
[17:30] <ubuntuuser123> I've googled everywhere, and of course I do understand it's not supposed to be distributed as such (therefore asking temporarily)
[17:31] <TechFreak21> yes i like a large fry with a medium coke and a mcflurry lol
[17:31] <Dynamit> gbili i would recommend virtualmin if will use virtual server often
[17:31] <ubuntuuser123> and yes I'm asking this as I have to run soon, so please if you can drop that file somewhere for a brief moment quickly, I'd be happy
[17:31] <TechFreak21> with a small dish pizza from pizza hut
[17:32] <xangua> ubuntuuser123: moonlight doesn't support all silverlight stuff, you could try downloading the moonlight beta plugin from it's site
[17:32] <claviusmond> what is gtkglextmm-1.2.m4:225 for?
[17:32] <TechFreak21> just kiddin
[17:32] <claviusmond> what is gtkglextmm-1.2.m4 for?
[17:32] <ubuntuuser123> xangua: it's not the plugin, it's that file I mentioned that is downloaded from microsoft.com - moonlight itself is working
[17:32] <Padge> What do you need to know about adding software to your system that is not in the package repository?
[17:32] <ubuntuuser123> ubuntuuser123: if you have that one file on your system, I'm asking for that since it's externally downloaded by moonlight
[17:33] <Padge> In particular, I'm referring to ActiveState's Komodo
[17:33] <Padge> They offer an archive as a package, but I don't know how to add it to my system that way
[17:33] <Padge> Also, is it convenient to remove it should I decide I don't want it anymore?
[17:33] <ubuntuuser123> ie. .mozilla/plugins/moonlight/silverlight-media-pack-linux-x86-21-1.so (according to googling)
[17:34] <SharkMonkey> what's the opposite of add-apt-repository?
[17:34] <TechFreak21> hello i just a made an immediate request with the nationalinternetchannel to make you guys work harder aand more professional
[17:34] <TechFreak21> ;0 lol
[17:36] <muppet_> ubottu: thanks for the suggerstions - tired gufw and it works... must be a bug in firestarter as i had it configured the same.....
[17:36] <Abhijit> SharkMonkey, you can edit this file to remove ppa /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:37] <pm2> Hello - I just did an upgrade to Natty, and everything worked except nspluginviewer, which is preventing me from upgrading flash player.  When I do apt-get install nspluginviewer, I get a seg fault with "exit status 139".  Here's the output from apt-get: http://pastebin.com/vD0u87Fe
[17:37] <SharkMonkey> Abhijit, I was hoping for a script like add-apt repository
[17:37] <pm2> Any ideas on what the problem might be?
[17:37] <SharkMonkey> Abhijit, and besides added sources don't show up in sources.list
[17:38] <Abhijit> SharkMonkey, this seems to do http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html
[17:38] <impiza> techfreak are you there
[17:39] <pm2> Oops - "nspluginviewer" should actually be "nspluginwrapper"
[17:40] <xangua> (12:33:54) SharkMonkey: what's the opposite of add-apt-repository? sudo ppa-purge
[17:43] <pm2> Poindexter_: 1) Please don't PM me.  2) If you read lines 13-16 it states that the other plugins can't be installed because nspluginwrapper failed
[17:43] <SharkMonkey> xangua, i don't seem to have that command
[17:44] <xangua> SharkMonkey: need to install ppa-purge first
[17:44] <SharkMonkey> xangua, Abhijit thanks
[17:44] <Abhijit> SharkMonkey, welcome! :-)
[17:46] <jbu> hi everyone - if I have two partitions on the same hard drive (one is for /, the other is just for data) can I merge them seamlessly (not just mounting the data partition)?
[17:47] <Abhijit> jbu, you can merge them. time depends on the size. seamlessly depends on your luck.
[17:47] <Sivik> hey, I am having an error with my printer and I don't understand how to fix it.  There are a ton of forum posts but I am not finding any solutions to this issue:http://pastebin.com/WtwhARnx
[17:48] <ikonia> jbu: merging isn't really possile/safe, its btter to copy the data on, delete the partition and extend the other to be one big one
[17:48] <jbu> ikonia & abhijit, would I have to reinstall ubuntu?
[17:48] <mrdeb> which kernel is safe from the powre bug of 2.6.38
[17:48] <mrdeb> 32?
[17:48] <ikonia> Sivik: that looks like macs
[17:49] <Padge> What's with the aversion to MSGing people these days?
[17:49] <ikonia> jbu: no,
[17:49] <Sivik> ikonia, what do you mean looks like macs?  Its an issue from cups
[17:49] <ikonia> Sivik: the file system paths
[17:49] <jbu> ok thanks guys
[17:49] <ikonia> Sivik: the error is quite clear "file not found"
[17:49] <Sivik> ikonia, ok, what is the best way to fix it as it is the error when I try to print something.
[17:49] <Sivik> yes, but how do you get it re-added
[17:49] <ikonia> Sivik: found out what package contains it, as you say there are lots of posts about it
[17:51] <askhader> I have an Nvidia GTS 250 and I'm using the nvidia driver (it's loaded according to Xorg.0.log) but video playback is consitently choppy.
[17:51] <askhader> Why is this?
[17:51] <SharkMonkey> wow ppa purge is a lot fancier than expected. it even helps me remove packages that installed with the ppa
[17:51] <Dynamit> to you use the recomend one
[17:51] <ikonia> askhader: poor support ?
[17:51] <askhader> ikonia: What's that supposed to mean?
[17:51] <Nobgul-bnc> askhader, i have the same card and same issue.
[17:51] <ikonia> askhader: exactly what it sounds like "why is it doing it" - poor support from the graphics driver
[17:51] <askhader> Nobgul-bnc: Looks like Ubuntu has lost its worth.
[17:51] <askhader> ikonia: That's a silly excuse.
[17:51] <ikonia> askhader: it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[17:52] <ikonia> askhader: no, it'a realistick answer
[17:52] <askhader> I'm sure the driver support I'm looking for is implemented.
[17:52] <askhader> Because this card is not obscure nor defective.
[17:52] <Nobgul-bnc> askhader, not at all. all i do logout and then log back in
[17:52] <ikonia> askhader: clearly not, as your complaining it's not working
[17:52] <askhader> I'm certain it's a deficiency in the current video configurations.
[17:52] <ikonia> askhader: nvidia is a closed source driver made by nvidia, it's results on Linux vary depending on a lot of things
[17:52] <Dynamit> if you use the recommend driver's to other one if available
[17:53] <ikonia> askhader: its capability and stabilty are nothing to do with Ubuntu, or Linux in general but the way the driver is written by nvidia
[17:53] <askhader> ikonia: Good, that's not what I was talking about.
[17:53] <askhader> I use Ubuntu because it tends to provide a sane installation.
[17:53] <ikonia> askhader: and it has done here
[17:53] <askhader> Not so in my case, hence Ubuntu has lost its mereit.
[17:53] <askhader> Gonna have to tweak it myself anyway, love.
[17:53] <ikonia> askhader: you're not listing, the driver for nvidia is not provided by ubuntu
[17:54] <ikonia> askhader: you can't tweak it, - it's a closed source driver
[17:54] <jbu> askhader, what player and filetype are u using, just out of curiosity
[17:54] <Dynamit> it's provided by Nvida
[17:54] <askhader> No, I'm nost listing.
[17:54] <ikonia> askhader: then I suggest you ask for support elsewhere, try #nvidia or the nvidia forum
[17:54] <askhader> ikonia: You have fun trying to tweak nvidia.
[17:54] <ikonia> askhader: I'm not trying to tweak it
[17:54] <askhader> Great.
[17:54] <askhader> Then you won't have any problems.
[17:54] <ikonia> it works fine for me
[17:55] <Dynamit> i don't know right now which Nvida card i use in my laptop but it work fine
[17:55] <ikonia> Dynamit: it depends on so many things, it's quite a frusting situation
[17:56] <ikonia> Dynamit: some people will be fine others will have problems.
[17:56] <mrdeb> 3what is the power regressin kernel
[17:56] <ikonia> mrdeb: no idea, never heard of that
[17:58] <Sivik> ikonia, I cannot figure out what package has that stuff in it.  I am trying a few different things but I am not finding it as most of it is for gimp
[17:58] <ikonia> Sivik: ok
[17:58] <Sivik> ikonia, do you have an idea?
[17:58] <ikonia> Sivik: not without researching it myself
[17:58] <Sivik> ok
[17:59] <Rikjard> hello can you help me?
[17:59] <jbu> Rikjard, what's your question?
[18:00] <TechFreak21> hey impiza im multichatting lol
[18:01] <Rikjard> ubuntu is stoped and I can't do nothing
[18:01] <majdekalel> hello all
[18:01] <majdekalel> i need the serial for vmware workstation 7.1.4 for ubuntu !!!!
[18:01] <jbu> Rikjard, more details
[18:01] <Abhijit> Rikjard, can you get to terminal via ctrl alt T
[18:02] <Abhijit> Rikjard, or ctrl alt f1
[18:02] <Rikjard> no i can't is all stop
[18:02] <Abhijit> Rikjard, no idea then. just do hardware restart
[18:02] <yeats> !details | Rikjard
[18:03] <Rikjard> well thanks
[18:03] <claviusmond> I want to change permissions of a folder and all its enclosed files, from root to dexter. what about sudo chmod dexter:dexter /home/dexter/Compiled/FGFS -R?
[18:03] <ikonia> claviusmond: sudo chown -R dexter:dexter /home/dexter/blah
[18:05] <claviusmond> thks ikonia
[18:06] <rcmaehl> running linux on 4MB of ram is a bad idea
[18:06] <ikonia> rcmaehl: no-one is doing that
[18:06] <rcmaehl> ikonia: I am
[18:06] <rcmaehl> ikonia: on my nintedo ds
[18:06] <gisli> Rikjard: if crtl-alt-F1 or ctr-alt-backspace or maybe ctrl-alt-Escape (have seen this on a system) don't work and the computer is completely frozen than you have to do the "REISUB".
[18:06] <qin> rcmaehl: You need rc-linux
[18:06] <ikonia> rcmaehl: ok - that's nothing to do with ubuntu, so not ontopic for this channel
[18:07] <gisli> Rikjard: so your computer is completely frozen?
[18:08] <codingenesis> how to add users from cli
[18:08] <ikonia> claviusmond: useradd
[18:08] <ikonia> claviusmond: use the gui is your not confident
[18:08] <codingenesis> user with admin rights
[18:08] <ikonia> claviusmond: just needs to be in the admin group
[18:09] <ikonia> oops
[18:09] <ikonia> codingenesis: just needs to be in the admin group
[18:09] <claviusmond> np
[18:09] <ikonia> codingenesis: and the command is useradd
[18:09] <ikonia> claviusmond: sorry about that
[18:09] <codingenesis> ikonia ok
[18:09] <gisli> Abhijit: Hardware restart is last resort!! First you try "REISUB"! It's safer!
[18:10] <Abhijit> gisli, his keyboard was not responding at all
[18:10] <claviusmond> ikonia, np
[18:10] <Abhijit> gisli, btw tell me how to use REISUB next time i will suggest that one
[18:10] <gisli> did he try "REISUB"? Doesn't seem like it
[18:12] <Abhijit> gisli, no he ddnt tried it.
[18:12] <codingenesis> command for removing the user
[18:12] <Abhijit> gisli, both of us was unaware of that. please tell me how to do that?
[18:12] <ikonia> codingenesis: userdel
[18:12] <qin> codingenesis: deluser
[18:12] <ikonia> codingenesis: again - if you're not certain, use the gui, that's what it's there for
[18:12] <gisli> Abhijit: You hold down 'alt' and 'sysrq' buttons and then you press R-E-I-S-U-B. Hold down each key for about 5 seconds and the system does what it can to minimize the damage a restart does and then reboots.
[18:12] <zeppelin101> (Ubuntu 11.04..): anyone know if it's possible to tweak the annoying messages that pop up on the top right corner? They're created by all sorts of apps.. the problem is that the pop-ups are very distracting
[18:13] <Abhijit> gisli, i see. Thank you. Next time will try that.
[18:13] <codingenesis> ikonia, GUI is not there in my ubuntu
[18:13] <codingenesis> i want to do with GUI
[18:13] <ikonia> codingenesis: install it/enable it
[18:13] <codingenesis> what's the command for that
[18:14] <ikonia> codingenesis: show me the output of "uname -a" please
[18:14] <oCean> Abhijit: fyi, ubottu has a !reisub factoid explaining that
[18:14] <codingenesis> Linux bt 2.6.38 #1 SMP Thu Mar 17 22:59:29 EDT 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:14] <Abhijit> oCean, oh okay.
[18:14] <gisli> Abhijit: It's a good 'trick' and I have never had a freeze where this couldn't be done ;) Google it and you'll see what it does
[18:14] <ikonia> codingenesis: is that a desktop install ?
[18:14] <Abhijit> gisli, okay
[18:14] <codingenesis> ya
[18:14] <ikonia> codingenesis: the gui should be installed and enabled by default, did you disable it ?
[18:15] <codingenesis> no i have not disabled it
[18:15] <codingenesis> can i install it from some where...??
[18:15] <ikonia> codingenesis: it should already be installedand enabled by default on a desktop install
[18:15] <yeats> codingenesis: are you working solely from the command line?
[18:15] <ikonia> codingenesis: try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[18:15] <codingenesis> yeats, no
[18:15] <ikonia> codingenesis: what does that do, does it try to instll something
[18:16] <codingenesis> ikonia, ok let me try that
[18:16]  * yeats is confused then
[18:17] <codingenesis> ikonia i got 357 new things to install
[18:17] <Atomix26> does anyone here know how to install steam?
[18:17] <Atomix26> on ubuntu oc
[18:17] <Abhijit> !steam | Atomix26
[18:17] <ikonia> codingenesis: codingenesis install them, I have no idea why they are not installed by default
[18:17] <ikonia> Atomix26: ubuntu oc ?
[18:18] <ikonia> Abhijit: what is ubuntu oc ?
[18:18] <Atomix26> ubuntu of cource
[18:18] <Abhijit> ikonia, no idea.
[18:18] <codingenesis> ikonia, thanks !! installing it :)
[18:18] <ikonia> Abhijit: sory that was meant for Atomix26
[18:18] <Abhijit> okay
[18:19] <Atomix26> It didnt work ubottu
[18:19] <ikonia> Atomix26: the guys in ##winehq maybe best to ask
[18:19] <Abhijit> Atomix26, what actually did not working?
[18:21] <Atomix26> That place is dead
[18:21] <cheater_> hi

[18:33] <potatoes> Hello people, I had a question regarding which version of grub to install - I have an AMD Turion 64 processor - should I be going for the grub-efi-amd64 package? I ask because it mentions in the package description that it's for "intel mac based systems"?? Really confusing...anyways, right now I have the standard grub-pc installed, but it doesn't work - whenver I start up my computer, it just loads my Win7 partition.
[18:35] <potatoes> Also, when I try to  "sudo grub", I get "comand not found"...
[18:35] <potatoes> (even though I have grub-pc installed?)
[18:38] <ikonia> potatoes: grub-pc is what you need
[18:38] <ikonia> potatoes: efi is for macs or EFI based PC's (rare)
[18:40] <potatoes> ikonia: ahh, okay.
[18:40] <amir_> hello
[18:40] <potatoes> ikonia: well, I'm trying to *remove* grub-pc right now, so that I can reinstall it - I'm getting a "command not found" error when I try to run grb.
[18:40] <ikonia> potatoes: wher are you running grub from if you can't boot you machine ?
[18:41] <Guest32209> i'm faceing a problem with finishin the installation
[18:41] <potatoes> ikonia: I can boot my machine, using the SuperGrub2 disk.
[18:41] <Guest32209> and how can i boot using my windows again
[18:41] <Guest32209> ?
[18:42] <ikonia> !info grub-pc
[18:42] <ikonia> potatoes: on your machine type "sudo apt-get install grub-pc"
[18:42] <eiriksvin> can someone help me get the sound on my webcam to work, Cheese picked up my webcam, so I have video, but no sound
[18:43] <potatoes> ikonia: Doing that right now!
[18:43] <potatoes> Guest32209: Can you give me some more details regarding what you're going through? I might have had a similar problem before, so I might be able to help you out.
[18:44] <eiriksvin> I used lsusb and it shows: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04fc:1528 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd SPCA1527A/SPCA1528 SD card camera (webcam mode)
[18:44] <Grum> Evening! I've having an issue with sbmd (3.4.7 on 10.04); after 1024 open files (doing a copy of loads of small files) I'm getting 'Too many open files', the regular solution suggested is to up the ulimit; which I have done (/etc/security/limits.conf has root and * hard/soft nofile 10240); however even after rebooting the smbd keeps crapping out at 1024 and i cannot seem to change it (any new
[18:44] <Grum> shells have the limit reported at 10240)
[18:44] <eiriksvin> there is an internal mic in the webcam, but when I record, the playback has no sound
[18:44] <th0r> eiriksvin: are you sure there is a microphone inside the webcam?
[18:45] <potatoes> ikonia: even after running the grub-pc install and getting it to configured, I still get a "command not found error" when I type in "sudo grub"
[18:45] <Grum> I've also tried putting ulimit -S -n 10240 at the start of the /etc/init.d/smbd but that also seemed to make no change; Would anyone have any idea how to make my smbd listen to the ulimit setting? :/
[18:45] <Chainer> erik: try clicking on the speaker icon in the taskbar (upper left of the screen), then go to Sound Preferences, then under the Input tab, make sure the webcam is selected and the mute button is not checked
[18:45] <Chainer> upper right, i meant
[18:45] <eiriksvin> th0r: yes its a digital video camera
[18:45] <ikonia> potatoes: I didn't tell you to do hat
[18:45] <ikonia> potatoes: I just told you to type "sudo apt-get install grub-pc"
[18:45] <eiriksvin> th0r: it has webcam mode
[18:46] <potatoes> ikonia: Yeah, I said, after grub-pc installs using sudo apt-get install
[18:46] <potatoes> ikonia: Even after that, I'm still getting "command not found"
[18:46] <potatoes> ikonia: I could try rebooting and see if it works now though...
[18:46] <ikonia> potatoes: I'm going to stop helping now
[18:46] <eiriksvin> Chainer: my webcam isn't showing up
[18:47] <potatoes> ikonia: Sure.
[18:47] <ikonia> potatoes: you seem to not be listening and just doing what you wan
[18:47] <ikonia> potatoes: if you want help - listen and follow instrucn, stop doing your own thing
[18:47] <potatoes> ikonia: I did do that though...I'm not sure what you're talking about. I installed grub-pc using sudo aptitude install grub-pc
[18:47] <potatoes> ikonia: That step is done.
[18:47] <eiriksvin> its only showing rear mic, analog line in, front mic
[18:47] <ikonia> potatoes: yes, and then you started typing other commands and thinking abou reboots
[18:48] <potatoes> ikonia: So? Why can't I?
[18:48] <ikonia> potatoes: if you just said "done - now what" I would have give you the next instruction
[18:48] <potatoes> ikonia: It's not like you said anything after that.
[18:48] <potatoes> ikonia: I don't want your help ikonia.
[18:48] <factotum> can the font rendering method of ubuntu (patches, etc) be applied to other distributioins? I'm trying to find the files and documentation on what is used and how its done.
[18:48] <Chainer> eiriksvin: hmm, in that case I don't know, sorry... perhaps rebooting might help, while your webcam is connected. I think that fixed a similar issue for me once. But I'm not sure
[18:48] <ikonia> potatoes: but you clearly believe you know what you are doing, so good luck
[18:48] <potatoes> ikonia: Wow, I was just brainstorming.
[18:48] <impiza> josh
[18:48] <gbili> hi, i have a problem setting up virtual hosts error is : [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
[18:48] <potatoes> ikonia: Trying to think of possible things to do, stop taking that so personally asshole.
[18:49] <eiriksvin> Chainer: i'll try that now
[18:49] <Chainer> ok.
[18:50] <RebelKeith> hey, I'm tryng to figure out how to add a new partition to linux without messing up grub
[18:51] <bullgard4> RebelKeith: Please boot up using a Ubuntu Live CD and then use GParted.
[18:52] <RebelKeith> hmm, well I cant do that right now, I dont have a live cd and I have really slow internet here
[18:52] <factotum> good reason to keep a live cd around :)
[18:53] <RebelKeith> hehe, I guess so
[18:53] <factotum> there is a gparted live cd that i beleive has a small .iso size. are you on dialup ?
[18:53] <anakin_> Keith cant use mini cd for partitioning ?
[18:54] <anakin_> it's 19 mb ... can be downloaded easy on bad connection
[18:54] <RebelKeith> I'm on dsl, but the slowest one you con get
[18:54] <RebelKeith> *can
[18:54] <anakin_> but idk .. do u can use mini cd for partitioning / never test it
[18:54] <factotum> i would suggest investing the time, if anything just to have it around if you need it.
[18:54] <RebelKeith> I have the iso at home, I'm at work right now
[18:55] <factotum> ah, gotcha
[18:55] <RebelKeith> I just dont have blank cds
[18:55] <factotum> have a usb stick?
[18:55] <Polah> Do commands in a script execute linearly, line by line or in parallel?
[18:55] <Chainer> eiriksvin, also if that didn't work, here's a list of compatible webcams: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices
[18:55] <RebelKeith> not with me
[18:55] <factotum> hmm..
[18:55] <Chainer> i got to that page from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[18:55] <Atomix26> I am having trouble with steam
[18:55] <knightrage> Polah: linearly/sequentially
[18:56] <Polah> knightrage: Thank you.
[18:56] <Grum> mmm when i invoke: testparm -s; i get a warning: rlimit_max: rlimit_max (10240) below minimum Windows limit (16384) <-- could it because of that it completely ignores the 10240 and sticks with the default 1024?
[18:56] <factotum> get a hammer and ever so gently beat it into submission
[18:56] <RebelKeith> I can add a partition, the problem I have is that grub look in the wrong place for linux after I add a new one
[18:56] <factotum> RebelKeith: that might just be an issue of editing the grub configuration
