[14:28] <ksbalaji> cmpsalvestrini, what is this recovery mode? I am able to boot the last kernel recovery - not the gui version. but command prompt is offered.
[14:28] <jrib> !kernel > Ejdesgaard_
[14:28] <deepk> Well behaving dual-boot Ubuntu 9.10 (with Windows Vista) suddenly stopped recognizing Keyboard. Windows Vista recognizes it. What might cause it?
[14:29] <jrib> artinstartin: try mounting the partition your home is on to some arbitrary (empty) directory and see what happens
[14:29] <giaco> please help me I've an ubuntu netbook edition that doesn't want to be in italian language, just english. It's 10.04, how am I supposed to change language?
[14:29] <erUSUL> giaco: System>Admin...>language support
[14:29] <jrib> giaco: enable italian where erusul said and then choose it at the login screen
[14:30] <artinstartin> jrib: where do i do that, while i run ubuntu?
[14:30] <jrib> artinstartin: where do you do what exactly?
[14:30] <Ejdesgaard_> jrib, well... the reason why i compiled a newer kernel, is that kernel <2.6.35-rc4 has a bug that makes wow in wine act like garbage...
[14:30] <artinstartin> jrib: where di I mount from?
[14:30] <ksbalaji> cmpsalvestrini, monkey_dust_ I took a grave risk in upgrading without a backup. Even now, ubuntu is alive. but unable to get up and running!
[14:30] <jrib> Ejdesgaard_: that page details how to get restricted modules setup
[14:31] <artinstartin> jrib: don't understand what you mean
[14:31] <jrib> artinstartin: a terminal
[14:31] <cutiyar> hello
[14:31] <artinstartin> jrib: o i try
[14:31] <artinstartin> jrib: thanks
[14:33] <giaco> erUSUL, done it, thank you.
[14:33] <erUSUL> giaco: no problem
[14:34] <cmpsalvestrini> ksbalaji: Sounds like in CLI recovery mode it *should* be possible to run apt commands to redo the upgrade, otherwise I'm afraid the only way would be to download the 10.04 ISO and transfer it to an USB stick for a clean installation from the USB stick. I'm sure this is doable with your Knopix installation.
[14:34] <mattish> good afternoon :)
[14:34] <mattish> I have 2 ip's on eth0 and eth0:1 within the same network range, is it possible to set the default gateway to be on the alias interface ?
[14:35] <mattish> I cant seem to get it to work, no matter how I add default it goes out via eth0 not eth0:1 :(
[14:36] <econdudeawesome> erUSUL worked like a charm, thanks!
[14:37] <erUSUL> econdudeawesome: no problem
[14:37] <ksbalaji> cmpsalvestrini, Yes . thanks. I also feel that this can be done. ... And thats why I am here. BUT, ignorant me, I need help.
[14:39] <cmpsalvestrini> afk
[14:39] <unimatrix9> hi there
[14:39] <erUSUL> hi here
[14:39] <unimatrix9> how is it going
[14:39] <Jinxed-> What is a simple GUI based ftp server that I could use
[14:39] <erUSUL> Jinxed-: use ssh
[14:39] <deepk> Jinxed-: FileZilla
[14:40] <Jinxed-> Filezilla only is a client in ubuntu
[14:40] <rupeshitpatekar> Suddenly all files from my desktop deleted automatically but all folders are as it is but they wont contains files in it....how i can recover those files.......
[14:40] <Jinxed-> as far as I know deepk
[14:40] <unimatrix9> is there any one who has , an windows xp machine with shared printer ? can i print from ubuntu to the xp shared printer , all tips are welcome ..
[14:40] <deepk> oh, vsftpd is good too.
[14:41] <rupeshitpatekar> Suddenly all files from my desktop deleted automatically but all folders are as it is but they wont contains files in it....how i can recover those files.......those data is very critical for me
[14:41] <ksbalaji> knoppix livecd offers installation repair tools. How to use them to repair my broken Ubuntu upgrade?
[14:42] <sectroyer> Hi. How can I NOT run X by default in ubuntu ?
[14:42] <jrib> sectroyer: have gdm not start at boot
[14:42] <bazhang> ksbalaji, ask in a knoppix channel?
[14:42] <sectroyer> jrib: How ? :)
[14:42] <jrib> sectroyer: either edit /etc/init/gdm.conf and add "never" as a condition or just rename the file to something that doesn't end in .conf
[14:43] <ksbalaji> bazhang, I am worried about my crashed ubuntu upgrade.
[14:43] <unimatrix9> rupeshitpatekar , maybe they are hidden files now, browse to your file with filebrowser, and hit crtl + h ,
[14:43] <bazhang> ksbalaji, try to fix it then? not sure why you want a knoppix cd here
[14:43] <Lalon> ;)
[14:43] <hrhrhr_> how do i enable normal 'su'
[14:43] <hrhrhr_> instead of sudo
[14:44] <sectroyer> jrib: In which line should I add it?
[14:44] <mneptok> hrhrhr_: sudo -i
[14:44] <Lalon> is there anything like yahoo messenger in ubuntu?
[14:44] <gafir> Hi Folks, does anybody know if there's the equivalent of the iPad but with the capacity to run Ubuntu? a sort of Ubuntu Pad tablet? :-)
[14:44] <jrib> sectroyer: the one with the conditions, you can add "and never"
[14:44] <ksbalaji> bazhang, a knoppix livecd I found handy after ubuntu upgrade crashed. I seek help to fix the failed dpkg.
[14:44] <jrib> sectroyer: conditions *for starting*
[14:44] <hrhrhr_> mnemon: is there no 'su' in ubuntu?
[14:44] <sectroyer> start on (filesystem ...) etc?
[14:44] <sipior> hrhrhr_: su comes installed by default, i believe.
[14:44] <bazhang> ksbalaji, try #knoppix then
[14:44] <mneptok> Lalon: Empathy can use the Y!IM protocol.
[14:44] <jrib> hrhrhr_: of course there's a su....
[14:44] <hrhrhr_> it doesn't seem to accept creds
[14:45] <rupeshitpatekar> @unimatrix9: I tried that command but still wont get my files
[14:45] <hrhrhr_> like it's disabled
[14:45] <jrib> hrhrhr_: be more specific
[14:45] <gafir> hrhrhr_: You can do sudo -i, it's the equivalent of su sort of no? :-)
[14:45] <Lalon> mnemon,  how to use that
[14:45] <mneptok> Lalon: start Empathy, add an account, make it a Y!IM account.
[14:45] <Lalon> mneptok,  i have empathy but u know i can share my pic with my yahoo frnds and they can share their pics
[14:45] <jpds> hrhrhr_: There is no su.
[14:45] <ksbalaji> bazhang, forget about knoppix. Can you help me fix my failed Ubuntu upgrade please?
[14:45] <jpds> !noroot | hrhrhr_
[14:45] <sipior> hrhrhr_: you can't use your own login's password with su, if that's what you're trying to do.
[14:45] <Lalon> mnemon,  i know its there but u cant share pic there
[14:45] <Lalon> mneptok,
[14:45] <gafir> ubottu hrhrhr_: why not use sudo -i ?
[14:46] <mnemon> Lalon: ?
[14:46] <bazhang> ksbalaji, please restate your issue to the channel with as much detail as possible; if someone knows they will undoubtedly assist
[14:46] <Lalon> mnemon, not to u sorry
[14:46] <mneptok> mnemon: tab-complete fail
[14:46] <hrhrhr_> sudo is er
[14:46] <hrhrhr_> two extra chars to type
[14:46] <hrhrhr_> and im lazy
[14:46] <mneptok> hrhrhr_: alias it
[14:46] <bazhang> hrhrhr_, easy on the enter key there
[14:46] <gafir> hrhrhr_: goodness :-) What a tough world we live in to type 4 letters instead of 2
[14:46] <hrhrhr_> and also
[14:46] <Kwpolska> I need to make my IP address in my local network static. How can I do that?
[14:46] <hrhrhr_> sudo is gay
[14:46] <Lalon> so empanthy is only for messeging
[14:46] <hrhrhr_> nm
[14:46] <unimatrix9> ksbalaji , use knoppix live cd , but you can use the ubuntu live cd as well, backup all your data to an usb external drive or so , or maybe to an other partition, and do an clean install of ubunut ?
[14:46] <FloodBot4> hrhrhr_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:46] <hrhrhr_> google :P
[14:46] <jrib> hrhrhr_: wow.  Stop.
[14:46] <Makoto> Enter text here...hiii
[14:46] <Lalon> u cant do anytin more there
[14:47] <erUSUL> Kwpolska: configure it as such in Network Manager ?
[14:47] <Makoto> how r u all??
[14:47] <gafir> so, anybody knows of an ipad clone with UBuntu? :-)
[14:47] <Kwpolska> erUSUL: how?
[14:47] <Kwpolska> gafir: tablet pc's.
[14:47] <Kwpolska> not a clone.
[14:47] <mneptok> Lalon: Empathy does audio and video chat as well, if you have Linux-supported hardware
[14:47] <sectroyer> jrib: After adding "and never" linux restarts all the time.
[14:47] <Makoto> there is no susch a thing
[14:48] <rupeshitpatekar> @unimatrix9: I tried that ctrl+H command but still wont get my files back which are very important for mw
[14:48] <Lalon> mneptok,  i have linux supported hardware how can i make audio video chat tell me
[14:48] <gafir> Kwpolska: but they are a bit pricey, like $4000 on Dell
[14:48] <erUSUL> Kwpolska: right click on the NM icon. choose edit connections. choose the right device and choose edit. go to ipv4 tab. choose manual fill the information
[14:48] <jpds> hrhrhr_: No, it isn't, it's been the default for years on Ubuntu and most people are happy with it.
[14:48] <gafir> Lalon: Why not use skype: www.skype.com
[14:48] <mneptok> Lalon: if your webcam works in Ubuntu then other IM users should see the option to have a video chat with you
[14:48] <Lalon> gafir,  can u use yahoo chat in skype?
[14:49] <hrhrhr_> i just dont agree with the whole 'all users are nubz so we need to keep them away from root shells'
[14:49] <Kwpolska> hmm, what was the ip...
[14:49] <sipior> hrhrhr_: so do what you want. who cares?
[14:49] <Lalon> mneptok,  yah i know then what about me , how can i share my pic with my frnds and can accept their photo sharing
[14:49] <Da_Wrecka> Non-Linux question again... Assuming you were looking for a new 3.5" hard drive, and you were looking at two otherwise-identical drives, which would you prefer and why; 800GB with 64MB cache, or 1TB with 32MB cache?
[14:49] <unimatrix9> ipad clone : http://wetab.mobi/
[14:50] <rupeshitpatekar> Suddenly all files from my desktop deleted automatically but all folders are as it is but they wont contains files in it....how i can recover those files.......those data is very critical for me.......I also tried ctr+h command
[14:50] <Da_Wrecka> I ask here because of the channel I frequent, this one seems to have the most technically-minded occupants
[14:50] <bazhang> Da_Wrecka, ##hardware for that
[14:50] <Oer> Da_Wrecka, ask in #Ubuntu-offtopic ?
[14:50] <Da_Wrecka> *channels
[14:50] <Da_Wrecka> Oh, good point
[14:50] <mneptok> Lalon: i have no idea. i have never used the official Y!IM client and do not share photos. if i want someone to see a picture, i use the web. that's what the web is for.
[14:50] <ksbalaji> While upgrading from 8.04 to 9.10 (which was the only upgrade offered by the upgrade tool - when trying to upgrade to 10.04) powercut spoilt upgrade at the fag end. Downloads ware over. packages unpacked and config was being carried out. Now, aptitude asks to use dpkg -configure -a. But dpkg is unable to run for want of some read only files. HELP.
[14:50] <hrhrhr_> sipior: i thought for a moment i might not be the only person who came from slack
[14:50]  * Da_Wrecka is stoopid, durrrr
[14:50] <hrhrhr_> and an answer would leap out at me
[14:50] <hrhrhr_> clearly], this was foolish
[14:51] <sipior> hrhrhr_: if you can't figure out how to enable su, do you *really* think you should have unmitigated access to a root shell?
[14:51] <Lalon> mneptok,  yeah u know .. but u know security issue is there when u put ur pic to web
[14:51] <simon__> i installed mintbackuptool and now i cant acces to gnome.console mode says i am using mint(false),and gnome too(safe mode)
[14:51] <mneptok> hrhrhr_: the answer is "sudo -i" and if you don't like the extra characters make an alias for it.
[14:51] <hrhrhr_> yes
[14:51] <astropirate> I was told that i could access a process's memory using the /prc/[PIC]/mem interface but when i open it in a text editor it's empty. and when i open it with using open() and read() it gives me the following errno error "No such process". Am i missing something here?
[14:51] <hrhrhr_> i love slapping commands i dont know the implications of into root shells
[14:51] <hrhrhr_> KAPOW KAPOW KAPOW
[14:51]  * Kwpolska hugs erUSUL
[14:51] <bazhang> !enter| hrhrhr_
[14:51] <Synthead> is there a way to install a package to a different root?
[14:52] <erUSUL> Kwpolska: :) yw
[14:52] <Lalon> how do u open rar file in ubuntu?
[14:52] <erUSUL> !rar | Lalon
[14:52] <unimatrix9> type free the fish in your bash command
[14:52] <unimatrix9> :P
[14:52] <Pici> !ot | unimatrix9
[14:53] <simon__> i changed /etc/issue /etc/issue.net /etc/lsb-realese
[14:53] <simon__> but when i reboot it dont change anything
[14:53] <unimatrix9> yes dear benjamin
[14:53] <Oer> Lalon install rar from synaptic
[14:53] <ksbalaji> ....continued .... dpkg error message unable to access dpkg status area...read only file system.
[14:53] <Lalon> cani install it from terminal?
[14:54] <bazhang> Lalon, sure
[14:54] <Pici> simon__: 1) We do not support mint here, please use their irc channel. 2) You really shouldn't touch those files.
[14:54] <Pici> !mintsupport | simon__
[14:54] <Lalon> bazhang,  how to do that
[14:54] <simon__> Pici,  i'm using ubuntu!!
[14:54] <Oer> Lalon sure, sudo apt-get install rar
[14:54] <simon__> this is the problem
[14:54] <simon__> i'm not have mint,and it says i using it
[14:55] <unimatrix9> strange
[14:55] <Pici> simon__: mintbackuptool is not in the Ubuntu repositories.
[14:55] <simon__> but i installed .deb packages
[14:55] <MatBoy> mhh, Iḿ searching for a CRM I forgot, ir was opensource and in the same line as vtiger and sugarcrm, but than fully free and opensource
[14:55] <Synthead> any idea about installing to a different root?  If I mount an ubuntu drive on another ubuntu system, I want to be able to apt-get something and have it install on the guest drive
[14:56] <unimatrix9> bye bye all ;)
[14:56] <gnomefreak> mint uses .deb  take a look in /etc/apt/sources.list to see if you have mint repo in there
[14:56] <gnomefreak> simon__: ^^^
[14:56] <ksbalaji> unimatrix, sorry for the delay - I have a very old ubuntu gutsy live cd which I fear may not support the purpose. However, I am able to boot upto the level of recovery prompt. can you guide to repair upgrade  - with dpkg application please?
[14:56] <gnomefreak> more than likely it pulled in mint packages
[14:56] <Ejdesgaard_> is there a ubuntu repos with bleeding edge kernels?
[14:57] <abhijit> !backports | Ejdesgaard_
[14:57] <cutiyar> Lalon, install it from ubuntu center
[14:57] <Pici> abhijit: That does not contain bleeding edge kernels.
[14:57] <abhijit> Pici, I see
[14:58] <hrhrhr_> sudo -i runs .bash_profile
[14:58] <gnomefreak> there is a kernel PPA but i dont use it
[14:58] <hrhrhr_> many thanks you excellent ppls
[14:58] <simon__> only ubuntu repos
[14:58] <avi_> hello everyone
[14:58] <gnomefreak> simon__: you installed something you shouldnt have  remove it see what happens
[14:58] <MatBoy> aaahhh !! mhh can't remember
[14:58] <Lalon> cutiyar,  installed already
[14:59] <Lalon> so now the problem is using yahoo messenger
[14:59] <Pici> Ejdesgaard_: You could look at the mainline kernel ppa. But be aware that we cannot support issues with those here.
[14:59] <cutiyar> Lalon,  good
[14:59] <Synthead> no thoughts on installing to a different root?

[15:00] <gafir> lalon cutiyar: I'd rather use something more open-source, but pidgin doesn't support video chat with skype
[15:00] <Lalon> gafir,  but u know the ppl who use yahoo u cant do video chat with them in skype
[15:01] <biscottin> hi, anyone knows about a channel with focus asterisk?

[15:01] <marianna> can someone tell me where to find Network-Manager. I have it installed, but it's not in system or apps.
[15:01] <gafir> Lalon cutiyar: I don't think you can video chat with linux and yahoo messenger, you can use pidgin to connect to yahoo messenger and text chat and send files, but that's all
[15:01] <gnomefreak> marianna: look on your tool bar it should be there
[15:02] <gnomefreak> marianna: gnome == upper panel on right hand side
[15:02] <ksbalaji> Synthead, doubtful. I am trying for a week here now to repair my crashed ubuntu in it own root.

[15:02] <gnomefreak> marianna: add it back, it should be in add to panel menu
[15:02] <Lalon> linux is incomplete u know...
[15:02] <gafir> cutiyar Lalon: Yes, Empathy does it too; I personally prefer Pidgin
[15:03] <biscottin> bazhang: yes, but in which network? here in freenode only 4
[15:03] <Lalon> for msn i use emesene
[15:03] <Amway> what is the command to mount shared folder ?

[15:11] <ksbalaji> Pici, cmpsalvestrini  Great! Thanks ! My dpkg crashed while upgrading from 8.04 to 9.10. dpkg error msg::unable to access dpkg status area...read only file system =help?
[15:12] <pacopad> nobody ? please
[15:13] <Mike1> pacopad: what problem do you have?
[15:13] <cmpsalvestrini> ksbalaji: a read-only filesystem IMLK happens when said filesystem is not mounted. Perhaps by mounting the filesystem the command should work?
[15:14] <pacopad> i'm trying to execute an app that would access to /dev/fb/0
[15:15] <marianna> I lost Network-Manager during the upgrade to lynx. Now I can't connect to wifi at all.
[15:15] <michaelting> hello
[15:15] <aeon-ltd> [SePoY[: do the command /userlist
[15:15] <pacopad> and i got the curreent error /dev/fb/0 no such file or directory
[15:15] <ksbalaji> cmpsalvestrini, sounds just. which file system is to be mounted? what filesystems do dpkg deal with? I dont know :((
[15:15] <michaelting> i've tried following the guidelines on http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download to create a bootable USB drive with Ubuntu
[15:15] <metalgeek> hi is Ubuntu FHS compliant?
[15:16] <michaelting> thing is, I don't have a 1GB usb drive
[15:16] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview metalgeek
[15:16] <michaelting> so I tried it using an SD card (with USB reader) and portable hardisk
[15:16] <michaelting> but the boot won't work from either of the two
[15:17] <carlos> hey my ubuntu add and remove progrmas is broke
[15:17] <metalgeek> bazhang, Thanks once again
[15:17] <michaelting> any idea?
[15:17] <bazhang> michaelting, using unetbootin?
[15:17] <michaelting> bazhang: using terminal, cause I'm using MAc
[15:17] <VP1> installed Joomla in Ubuntu 9.04. Works fine but editing done to site is not saved bcoz Joomla is in root and I'm other administer. Pl help
[15:17] <bazhang> michaelting, and how did you do it in terminal on the mac?
[15:17] <michaelting> i followed the guide to install the img using Mac's terminal
[15:17] <michaelting> and it seems to work fine
[15:18] <ubuntuserver> Cadcenter1 AptDaemon: INFO: InstallPackages() was called: dbus.Array([dbus.String(u'compizconfig-settings-manager')], signature=dbus.Signature('s'))

[15:19] <ubuntuserver> thats all it says now
[15:19] <cmpsalvestrini> ksbalaji: try mounting the root filesystem on your ubuntu box, the exact /dev is dependent on your partitioning and installation
[15:19] <michaelting> bazhang: this is how I do it: sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
[15:20] <ubuntuserver> is there and way of reseting  Package Manager back t default
[15:20] <aeon-ltd> michaelting: were you doin this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Mac%20OS%20X
[15:20] <storm_zen> Just upgraded to Lucid.  Sound worked at first, but isn't now.  Is there a way to reboot only the sound?
[15:20] <CrackGuy> is there an IRC support channel for empathy?
[15:20] <michaelting> aeon-ltd: nope. I was doing this http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download

[15:23] <Lalon> :(
[15:23] <cutiyar> my ubuntu do not read dvd ?
[15:23] <storm_zen> Anyone know how to reboot only sound?
[15:23] <ezscany> can someone help me on how to install 64bit nvidia drivers on ubuntu 10.04 :? tried 3 ways of doing it and nothing works
[15:23] <metalgeek> bazhang, Sorry, i needed to change machines and lost thet url you gave me
[15:23] <Kwpolska> !dvd | cutiyar

[15:23] <metalgeek> bazhang, Thanks again
[15:23] <aeon-ltd> storm_zen: sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart
[15:23] <Lalon> cutiyar,  complete solution for ur dvd problem
[15:23] <Lalon> :D
[15:24] <storm_zen> aeon-ltd: Is also tied into pulseaudio as well?  ( I think pulseaudio is installed by default? )
[15:24] <philinux> !medibuntu | cutiyar
[15:25] <AdvoWork> Hi there, is it easy enough to upgrade from 8.04.4 to 10.04 desktop?
[15:25] <aeon-ltd> storm_zen: pulseaudio is a layer above alsa if your running a pulseaudio you can restart it the same way, but replace alsa with pulseaudio(or the name od the daemon)
[15:26] <cutiyar> ubottu, if i installed it what will happen>
[15:26] <storm_zen> aeon-ltd: There is no rc.d (for lucid?)  is that rc.local?
[15:26] <cutiyar> ?
[15:26] <CrackGuy> i am getting this error "/tmp/pidgin-facebookchat-1.67-1.deb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." ubuntu won't let me install the .deb.. any suggestions...
[15:26] <aeon-ltd> storm_zen: rc.d is a daemons folder, it might be different in ubuntu, i'm using arch
[15:27] <storm_zen> aeon-ltd: /etc/init.d, I think.
[15:27] <_iTroll> tomboy like notes with support for tagging notes?
[15:27] <cmpsalvestrini> I hope I was useful to ksbalaji... :S
[15:27] <ezscany> can someone help me ? i have a problem with my video drivers ...
[15:27] <philinux> AdvoWork: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades
[15:27] <storm_zen> aeon-ltd: ...   I am in terminal.
[15:28] <bazhang> michaelting, never done it from a Mac, sorry
[15:30] <dewman> is it necessary to have a xorg file in order to load nvidia glx?
[15:30] <daedaluz> dewman: apparently no longer
[15:30] <storm_zen> I guess I don't have time to mine the dark arts to determine how to reboot sound in Lucid.
[15:31] <michaelting> thanks, bazhang
[15:31] <storm_zen> If anyone knows how to restart sound, please leave a memo for me.
[15:31] <_iTroll> hello peeps, does anyone know a notes or desktop wiki that supports tagging notes/articles?
[15:31] <dewman> daedaluz, hmm....strange for some reason it doesnt want to load....
[15:32] <AdvoWork> philinux, anything inparticular i should be backing up?
[15:33] <philinux> AdvoWork: Your important stuff from /home
[15:34] <sipior> _iTroll: does tomboy not do tagging?
[15:34] <cmpsalvestrini> dewman: an xorg.conf file is still necessary AFAIK
[15:34] <AdvoWork> philinux, ahh ok, will it remove all that then, or could it
[15:34] <_iTroll> sipior: not afaik, and i had a look and couldnt see anything
[15:34] <nikolaj_basher> How can I get MC to use the internal editor as default? I tried to du it through MC but it won't work everytime I restart mc the default editor is vim?
[15:34] <aeon-ltd> nikolaj_basher: its in the config file
[15:35] <philinux> AdvoWork: No. an upgrade just upgrade the system files. But it can go wrong
[15:35] <aeon-ltd> nikolaj_basher: wouldn't you rather use your editor of choice anyway
[15:35] <nikolaj_basher> aeon-ltd, but I couldn't find the right line :(
[15:35] <philinux> AdvoWork: personally I would do a clean install. I have 3 partitions  / /home /swap
[15:35] <nikolaj_basher> aeon-ltd, I love to use it..
[15:36] <cmpsalvestrini> philinux: one other person I was chating with in here had an upgrade malfunction on account of his power failed, now he's recovering stuff. I fear that he's going to have to do a clean install tho.
[15:37] <philinux> cmpsalvestrini: I do a clean install with each new release. With home on it's own partition it's very easy
[15:37] <AdvoWork> philinux, not that easy to do clean install, at this second i mean anyway
[15:37] <philinux> AdvoWork: well just make sure you backup important stuff
[15:38] <philinux> AdvoWork: is this machine just ubuntu or dual boot?
[15:39] <cmpsalvestrini> philinux: you are wise my friend.
[15:40] <philinux> cmpsalvestrini: Experience I'm afraid though some failed upgrades back in 2007
[15:41] <cmpsalvestrini> philinux: Ah, a graduate from the university of hard knocks I see
[15:41] <philinux> cmpsalvestrini: Although I've seen people upgrade from dapper to now with no problems lol
[15:42] <cmpsalvestrini> philinux: I was lucky as well, upgrading from 9.04 to 10.04 was no problem at all for me.  I am building a computer, and I have a nice MB to support the AMD Phenom II... it runs fine, but it says the chipset temperature is 127C.... I know that can't be right.. but it keeps restarting
[15:53] <TTGRULES> anyone have any ideas...
[15:53] <TTGRULES> ive tried a bunch of stuff with lm-sensors...
[15:53] <stu_> i've used mplayer media player, but by installing mplayer i only get the video everytime i click on a vid? i don't get the player interface etc.
[15:53] <Lalon> TTGRULES,  i think ur machine is becoming hot
[15:53] <sipior> TTGRULES: why can't it be right?
[15:53] <TTGRULES> because,
[15:53] <Lalon> TTGRULES,  put extra cooling fan in ur cput box
[15:53] <mneptok> TTGRULES: did you attach the CPU heatsink and fan? ;)
[15:53] <GDotODot> BIGB where u at?
[15:53] <TTGRULES> I pointed an extra fan straight at it..
[15:54] <sipior> mneptok: i was going to ask... :-)
[15:54] <BigB> here
[15:54] <TTGRULES> and it only went down to 109C
[15:54] <GDotODot> okay i see u
[15:54] <desti> there is no contact between your cooler and the chip
[15:54] <TTGRULES> if I go off the hypothesis that it is reporting in ferenheight.....
[15:54] <TTGRULES> and convert it to celsius..
[15:54] <_UsUrPeR_> hey all. thought I would point out something that may apply to ubuntu developers. I have downloaded and re-downloaded the ubuntu alternative 64-bit installation cd 3 times now, and there appears to be a problem with the kernel during installation. The errors I am seeing in the installation log have been recorded here: http://pastebin.com/usdjXmDB
[15:54] <TTGRULES> its around 50C
[15:54] <desti> look in your system bios for the tempertures
[15:55] <Lalon> TTGRULES,  too hot
[15:55] <TTGRULES> the sys bios doesn't give a chipset temp..
[15:55] <TTGRULES> it has a northbridge and a southbridge...
[15:55] <TTGRULES> and I can't tell which one it thinks is 127C
[15:55] <Lalon> TTGRULES,  then try to put a air cooler inside ur machine
[15:55] <Lalon> :D
[15:55] <_UsUrPeR_> if I could get some help with this, I would appreciate it. I am going to do an MD5sum on the .iso, but when I check the CD to ensure that it is correct, it says the CD has no problems
[15:55] <cmpsalvestrini> TTGRULES: it's possible that the heatsink is not properly secured to the CPU, or that there is not enough goo between them.
[15:55] <mneptok> TTGRULES: you should ask in #hardware, or contact the mobo manufacturer. this is not an Ubuntu issue.
[15:55] <TTGRULES> I did.. it went down to 109C
[15:56] <TTGRULES> It looks like it reads the sensor as ferenheight.. or just reads it wrong...
[15:56] <TTGRULES> its cool to the touch..
[15:56] <w00tw00t> hi how do I disable the password prompt (to unlock keyring) whenever i connect to my wireless network (wpa psk)?
[15:56] <TTGRULES> but the computer doesn't say so...
[15:57] <cmpsalvestrini> TTGRULES: and... 109C is *way* hot, that's the boiling point of water. It's more likely that it's reporting in Fahrenheit
[15:57] <TTGRULES> yeah....
[15:57] <TTGRULES> is there any way I can edit the shutdown temp
[15:57] <desti> but ubuntu does not reboot your system when lm_sesnors detect high temps
[15:57] <w00tw00t> hi how do I disable the password prompt (to unlock keyring) whenever i connect to my wireless network (wpa psk)?
[15:57] <TTGRULES> then how does it get the temp
[15:57] <TTGRULES> the log says... critical system temperature reached 127C... shutting down
[15:58] <Lalon> TTGRULES,  where u from
[15:58] <desti> i might be an acpi event thats initiated by your system bios
[15:58] <TTGRULES> is there a way I can set the shutdown temp to be higher?
[15:59] <TTGRULES> ok... im kind of new to this.. but whats acpi?
[15:59] <Error404NotFound> i am copying some really huge files, around 200G and my system load is going crazy: http://pastebin.com/cGzCDpM6
[15:59] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[15:59] <surfereddie> Hello world of ubuntu
[16:00] <profxavier> i would like to use my Ubuntu box as a mail server, for alerts and notifications, how can I do this [a link/URL is sufficient] ?
[16:00] <desti> acpi is some kind of hardware information and controlling interface
[16:00] <ShapeShifter499> I was following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD     and I need the latest kernel from here---> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/      what would be the latest stable kernel?
[16:00] <Oer> !acpi
[16:00] <Pici> profxavier: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html
[16:00] <profxavier> thx Pici :D
[16:01] <Lalon> !acpi
[16:01] <profxavier> do you recommend a certain server over another ?
[16:01] <Pici> profxavier: The default mta for Ubuntu is postfix, Its pretty easy to setup.
[16:02] <profxavier> Pici, lets see if it works, and is able to send to my external email addresses "D
[16:02] <cmpsalvestrini> TTGRULES: Probably tweaking on lm-sensors config file? I've never encountered any problems.
[16:02] <TTGRULES> why would it shut down?
[16:03] <TTGRULES> and is it normal for a chipset to run at over 100C?
[16:04] <TTGRULES> if I convert 109 from ferenheight to celsius its around 42 degrees.. is that a better estimate?
[16:04] <w00tw00t> i found it:  http://www.eteanga.ie/solution-to-ubuntu-904-enter-password-for-default-keyring-to-unlock/
[16:04] <aronaliaga> hola
[16:04] <aronaliaga> q tal?
[16:04] <Oer> TTGRULES, i think you should check the bios
[16:04] <_UsUrPeR_> TTGRULES: It is not normal for a computer to operate above 100C, and I believe that your PC is being measured in celcius
[16:04] <aronaliaga> algun español?
[16:04] <aronaliaga> por aqui?
[16:05] <_UsUrPeR_> because 149 Ferenheit is a nice nominal temp
[16:05] <Oer> !es | aronaliaga
[16:05] <Solow-laptop> How do I install a .bin file? I downloaded java jdk, I need it for netbeans.
[16:05] <_UsUrPeR_> TTGRULES: emergency shutdown parameters pertaining to temp are located in your BIOS
[16:05] <_UsUrPeR_> TTGRULES: however, if your PC is operating at a temp which shuts it down, there are larger issues for you to mitigate.
[16:06] <TTGRULES> does anyone know why my computer would say that the chipset is running at a temperature higher than the boiling point of water and ubuntu is shutting down.. when I can touch the passive heatsync and its mildly warm?????
[16:06] <xangua> Solow-laptop: botj sun java and open jdk are in repositories
[16:06] <xangua> both*
[16:06] <TTGRULES> the ubuntu sensors....
[16:06] <TTGRULES> not the bios
[16:06] <surfereddie> Can anybody tell me where I can see the actual key NX server is looking for?
[16:06] <TTGRULES> the bios doesn't show a chipset temp monitor...
[16:06] <xangua> sun java is in parthner's
[16:06] <Solow-laptop> xangua, and, what's the package na,e?
[16:06] <xangua> !partner | Solow-laptop
[16:06] <_UsUrPeR_> TTGRULES: where is your server located? Is it in an enclosed space? When is the last time you opened the computer case and cleaned it out? Dust can cause a lot of issues pertaining to hear retention
[16:06] <xangua> ans ubuntu-restricted-extras will install openjdk Solow-laptop
[16:07] <Oer> !lmsensors
[16:07] <TTGRULES> it says that the sensor is a thermal diode and that its running currently at 109C
[16:07] <Solow-laptop> got it thanks
[16:07] <hylian> anyone know of a program like siw for linux thats gives system info?
[16:07] <Micheal`> is this a new system TTGRULES
[16:07] <Oer> hylian sysinfo
[16:07] <Oer> !sysinfo
[16:08] <Solow-laptop> I forgot one thing, is there a shortcut to bring up the desktop? (minimzie everything)
[16:08] <Solow-laptop> minimize*
[16:08] <Oer> sudo apt-get install sysinfo
[16:08] <hylian> Oer thank you!
[16:09] <cutiyar> my ubuntu do not reading dvd?
[16:09] <_UsUrPeR_> TTGRULES: you need to answer questions that people are asking you so that we may help. Is your system brand new? If it is not, when is the last time you opened it up and cleaned out the dust?
[16:10] <rizzuh_laptop> Why does the Ubuntu download page say 64-bit is not recommended for daily desktop usage?
[16:11] <Oer> cutiyar, maybe the dvd is encrypted, but there is a solution https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multimedia see the dvd part
[16:11] <rizzuh_laptop> 64-bit OS's are generally more efficient than 32-bit, unless you're kinda memory tight (<2GB).
[16:11] <cutiyar> Oer, all type not just one dvd
[16:12] <Pici> cutiyar: Did you read the information that ubottu gave you earlier?
[16:12] <philinux> rizzuh_laptop: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 see post #62
[16:12] <cutiyar> pici, i couldnt understand , but know what i mean?

[16:13] <AnxiousNut> how can i use sed to remove everything comes after a '?' in a file till the next line? sed s/?//g MyText.txt but this only takes the ? out!
[16:13] <rizzuh_laptop> philinux, ahh, okay, that's a very good explanation, thanks for the link!
[16:14] <philinux> rizzuh_laptop: I do hope they change the wording
[16:14] <CQ> hello, anyone using backupninja here? I have two removable drives that I want to back up different stuff to, one using rdiff the other rsync... but both are not always mounted. I know I can write scripts to stop the actions, but if the first one fails, backupninja never gets to the second possible backup ... any ideas?
[16:16] <cutiyar> pici, what i see there?
[16:16] <Pici> AnxiousNut: s/\?.*$//g
[16:16] <rizzuh_laptop> philinux, it was fine for like 9.10 or 9.04, 32-bit was generally recommended and 64-bit "may provide additional capabilities for compatible hardware" - that was okay, not great, but okay
[16:17] <Pici> cutiyar: What part of the page do you not understand?
[16:17] <rizzuh_laptop> philinux, though you'd be hard pressed to find a system manufactured today that can run Ubnutu 32-bit but not 64-bit.
[16:17] <cutiyar> PICI, U KNOW i mean in my question?
[16:18] <AnxiousNut> Pici, :) thanks a lot! it works!
[16:18] <Pici> cutiyar: No. I don't understand.
[16:19] <cutiyar> Pici, when i put the dvd the dvd will show in Desktop , and i think its not running in cd/dvd writer
[16:19] <cutiyar> pici will not show
[16:19] <smallfoot-> Mac OS X uses modern GPT, Windows and Ubuntu uses legacy MBR. When will Ubuntu use modern GPT?
[16:19] <Pici> cutiyar: Are you trying to watch a movie dvd? Please provide details of what is happening and what you would like to happen instead.
[16:20] <heoa> How can I change boot order from Grup-cli?
[16:20] <AnxiousNut> Pici, do you have a tutorial or something for sed, i would like to learn how to use it professionally!
[16:20] <cutiyar> Pici , no iam trying to see the another dvd not video ,
[16:20] <_iTroll> hey guys, anyone know if there is any code snippet organizing software in the repos?
[16:21] <cmpsalvestrini> err... GPT, smallfoot-?
[16:21] <CQ> AnxiousNut: look for tutorials on regular expressions, those are used in many many programs from sed to perl to open office search and replace functions... if you learn those, you can do whatever you need
[16:21] <monkey_dust> GPT = Guid partition table
[16:21] <cutiyar> Pici, when u put the dvd the icon should shown in Desktop but my ubuntu dont

[16:29] <AnxiousNut> my gnome-termenal became colored, how can i make it as before? It Myname@Mycomputer is now in light green!
[16:29] <travis2> do i have to open it with sudo?
[16:29] <hrhrhr_> yup
[16:29] <Pici> travis2: The best way to delete a user would be to use the deluser command.
[16:29] <cutiyar> Pici, what i have to paste to u?
[16:29] <popey> AnxiousNut: right click the terminal window and choose profiles, its in there
[16:29] <cipher42> put the disk in a plastic bag, and then into th freezer
[16:30] <cipher42> after a day remove it and try to use it before it cools off
[16:30] <cipher42> trust me it works
[16:30] <Pici> cutiyar: Open /etc/fstab in your favorite editor and paste the contents to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
[16:31] <travis2> some reason, i get this:Warning: group `travis' has no more members.
[16:31] <travis2> userdel: user travis is currently logged in
[16:31] <travis2> /usr/sbin/deluser: `/usr/sbin/userdel travis' returned error code 8. Exiting.
[16:31] <AnxiousNut> popey, not the whole text, only apart of it! It bacame just like Linux Mint's default!
[16:31] <cutiyar> pici,http://pastebin.com/LqK5sQWG
[16:31] <sipior> travis2: well then, you see the problem, i guess :-)
[16:31] <heoa> Which thing controls the device by which to boot a comp? ie boot from CD or hard-disk?
[16:31] <travis2> the user isnt logged in though
[16:31] <AnxiousNut> popey, currently configured to be black on white
[16:32] <popey> AnxiousNut: what did you change?
[16:32] <travis2> i never logged into it
[16:32] <chapmage> heoa, the BIOS is what controls the boot order
[16:32] <AnxiousNut> popey, nothing, i think there is a package that enabled this thing!
[16:32] <sipior> travis2: what does "who" report?
[16:33] <heoa> chapmage: if I get into GRUP setup, can I get booting from CD?
[16:33] <Pici> cutiyar: does   ls /dev/sr0    report anything?
[16:33] <travis2> travis2  tty8         2010-07-28 11:18 (:0)          travis2  pts/2        2010-07-28 11:30 (:0.0)
[16:33] <sipior> travis2: and the account you're trying to remove is just called "travis"?
[16:34] <travis2> yes
[16:34] <sipior> travis2: does the "--force" option to deluser help?
[16:34] <jalal_> where is boston mass channel pls?
[16:34] <cutiyar> Pici, ,http://pastebin.com/50trR691
[16:35] <cutiyar> Pici,
[16:35] <cutiyar> http://pastebin.com/50trR691
[16:35] <Pici> cutiyar: Yes, I saw it. One moment.
[16:35] <Pici> jalal_: Ubuntu's Massachusetts Loco channel is #ubuntu-us-ma
[16:35] <travis2> when i put --force before deluser, it says invalid option --'-'
[16:36] <jalal_> pici Thank you
[16:36] <sipior> travis2:  try putting it after :-)
[16:36] <travis2> ok
[16:36] <Pici> cutiyar: And this is a built-in drive? Not a usb cdrom drive?
[16:36] <travis2> it said the same thing
[16:37] <cutiyar> Pici, i dont know what u mean?
[16:37] <sipior> travis2: you're typing "sudo deluser --force travis"?
[16:37] <travis2> yes
[16:38] <Pici> cutiyar: What does ls /media/   report?
[16:38] <sipior> travis2: try just "sudo userdel -f travis"
[16:38] <travis2> it says this: userdel: user travis is currently logged in
[16:38] <cutiyar> Pici, just reading my usb nothing else
[16:39] <travis2> should i restart, then try again?
[16:39] <nullvariable> ok can anyone help with gnome issue? I can't switch window focus with the mouse or alt-tab
[16:40] <sipior> travis2: might as well. or just edit the damned password file directly.
[16:40] <nullvariable> and that's after rebooting a few hundred times and purging the gdm ubuntu-desktop packages
[16:40] <picard1421> im looking for the smallest distro of ubuntu that uses command line.. no GUI.. what would that be?
[16:40] <gdoteof> can you guys see this?  i just loaded up empathy and i can't doing a /j #anything
[16:40] <abhijit> !server | picard1421
[16:40] <philinux> picard1421: ubuntu minimal
[16:40] <travis2> ok ill restart first, then ill try the password file if it doesnt word
[16:40] <travis2> work
[16:40] <gdoteof> !server | gdoteof
[16:41] <picard1421> the ubuntu server is minimal?
[16:41] <xangua> no
[16:41] <wollex> huhu
[16:41] <abhijit> !bot | gdoteof
[16:41] <philinux> picard1421: ubuntu minimal is 10mb then install what you need.
[16:41] <wolle_afk> wrong channel
[16:41] <Pici> cutiyar: okay, we're going to try to mount the cdrom drive manually.  If that works then we can set it up to do so automatically.  run: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom
[16:41] <picard1421> i see an ubuntu minimal desktop?
[16:42] <picard1421> is that what i want or the server version?
[16:42] <econdudeawesome> Looooooot of people stay in #ubuntu--how many are action I wonder?
[16:42] <cutiyar> picard1421, ok?
[16:42] <philinux> picard1421: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[16:42] <cutiyar> Pici, ok?
[16:42] <picard1421> KK thanks.. also one more question.. what are the main differences between Gnome and KDE?
[16:42] <picard1421> like Ubuntu vs Kubuntu?
[16:43] <nullvariable> no suggestions on troubleshooting the window manager?
[16:43] <bt4> like ubuntu VS backtrack ?

[16:43] <Amway> how to mount Shared Folder ?
[16:43] <Pici> cutiyar: Then run sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
[16:43] <philinux> picard1421: google gnome vs kde you will get a lot of hits
[16:43] <adamkex> picard1421: they are two completely different desktop enviroments, they use different programs, KDE uses QT4, GNOME uses GTK
[16:44] <madmax_x> hey all
[16:44] <picard1421> what is better for which?
[16:44] <econdudeawesome> !mount | Amway
[16:44] <picard1421> i assume they both support Wine.. which will have more programs and whatnot?
[16:44] <travis2> sipior: when i restarted, it was gone, so thanks for the help
[16:44] <adamkex> picard1421: it's a matter of preference, blue vs red
[16:44] <cutiyar> pici. http://pastebin.com/hChki3VW
[16:44] <sipior> travis2: glad it's finally working for you
[16:44] <philinux> picard1421: thought you wanted a minimal install
[16:44] <picard1421> this is for another PC
[16:44] <philinux> ah
[16:44] <cutiyar> pici,sorryyyyyyyyyyy
[16:45] <philinux> picard1421: preference yes they both achieve the same thing
[16:45] <madmax_x> how do i create a shortcut to genome terminal that opens in a specific folder...more importantly i have an app that id i create a shortcut to the binary it says "please change to the directory before running)
[16:45] <werjeo> Fuck you motherfuckers
[16:45] <werjeo> Fuck you motherfuckers
[16:45] <picard1421> ahh kk
[16:45] <adamkex> picard1421: you can install all programs on both, they just come with different from the begining
[16:45] <Pici> cutiyar: Don't type 'run.'
[16:46] <picard1421> yea im not sure i was thinking EIther going Ubuntu 10.4 or trying to setup a Gnome enviornment in Arch Linux.. still deciding which to do
[16:46] <cutiyar> Pici, http://pastebin.com/bTnPRxEx
[16:46] <philinux> picard1421: is this a modern machine
[16:47] <picard1421> yes..
[16:47] <philinux> no worries then
[16:47] <picard1421> well its more for testing.. for a company
[16:47] <philinux> picard1421: try them both
[16:47] <adamkex> picard1421: that's up to you, i don't use arch anymore, i am giving ubuntu a swing right now, otherwise i use gentoo. if you want "optimizations" then go for gentoo.
[16:47] <Pici> cutiyar: Is your cd/dvd in your drive right now?
[16:47] <picard1421> its a $15,000 machine they are letting me play with before they actually use it i get it for a month
[16:47] <adamkex> picard1421: if not go for ubuntu, if you want nothing installed from the begining use the mini iso
[16:47] <cutiyar> Pici, yup
[16:48] <picard1421> yea ubuntu seems to have support and really good architecture ... im just comming over from Unix.. so... it seems wayyy more fun to say the least
[16:48] <econdudeawesome> picard1421 which are you coming from? Windows or Mac?
[16:48] <picard1421> Unix
[16:49] <adamkex> picard1421: you can always reinstall linux if you don't like it
[16:49] <picard1421> well i have BOth Windows and Mac at my house..
[16:49] <user_> anybody knows when nvidia 256.35 drivers will be avaiable in "hardware drivers"?
[16:49] <picard1421> my house is just run off a VM server cloud..
[16:49] <picard1421> i have 1 medium sized server
[16:49] <picard1421> and
[16:49] <picard1421> 4 "home made" thin clients built into a monitor (rip off Imac's)
[16:49] <Pici> cutiyar: Could you please open then close your cdrom drive and then pastebin the result of: dmesg   ?
[16:49] <Pici> !enter
[16:50] <econdudeawesome> picard1421 then my opinion will not matter :-D but for me, as a techie, and my wife, as a nontechie, Ubuntu has been great. I really like Lubuntu remix--looks okay, very light impact
[16:50] <picard1421> and then i just install whatever i feel like.. wether it be mac, windows, unix, w.e. it is ...
[16:50] <adamkex> picard1421: go for ubuntu (mini iso or not) or gentoo if you want "optimizations"
[16:51] <adamkex> picard1421: gentoo is more unix-ish
[16:51] <bt4> Could you please open then close your cdrom drive and then pastebin the result of: dmesg   ?
[16:51] <econdudeawesome> picard1421 so it really just matters what you got for ya. If you enjoy playing with linux in general, maybe fedora or debian is up your alley
[16:51] <picard1421> the only thing i guess.. i know they have "wine"... how realisitic is that... my work needs me to use Outlook (idk why).. i wanted to use Zimbra.. but they insist on outlook clients.. (i know you can hook em up.. but still) is wine really useable?
[16:51] <econdudeawesome> picard1421 you can check out winehq for compatibility. I've found that to be an accurate source of info
[16:51] <econdudeawesome> !wine | picard1421
[16:51] <picard1421> hmm i might have to check out gentoo for a transistion os then.. thanks adamkex
[16:52] <adamkex> picard1421: i don't know how well outlook is supported, if you really need it and doesn't worh then google for crossover office
[16:52] <cutiyar> Pici, http://pastebin.com/1Av5S4He

[16:52] <docmur> is there away to get gnome on Karamic Server
[16:52] <_johnny> hi, i'm trying to compile the following: http://pastebin.com/Mwg0TG78 but i get "roundup.c:(.text+0xd): undefined reference to `lrint'", only when i compile it in ubuntu. anyone have an idea as to why? my compile string is: gcc -o roundup roundup.c
[16:52] <geri> hi is there a packet tinyos-2.1.0 in ubuntu?
[16:52] <adamkex> docmur: try installing ubuntu-desktop
[16:52] <docmur> it's complainnig about not letting me install gnome-vfs
[16:52] <econdudeawesome> docmur sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop would do it
[16:52] <zenix> Hi, I wonder when I sit in airports / cafe and the like. In Windows is set to "public places", and thus that this is not "trusted" connection. The opposite of the "home network" that is "trusted" in Windows. Is there a setting on this in ubuntu? (When you connect to wireless networks).
[16:53] <adamkex> docmur: don't use apt-get, use aptitude instead
[16:53] <picard1421> is crossover better than Wine?
[16:53] <econdudeawesome> adamkex what is the difference with that?
[16:53] <Pici> cutiyar: This is a USB cdrom drive?
[16:53] <AnxiousNut> why cant the following command work? gksu nautilus  --no-desktop /
[16:53] <geri> hi is there a packet tinyos-2.1.0 in ubuntu?
[16:53] <cutiyar> pici, what?
[16:53] <adamkex> econdudeawesome: as far as i have understood aptitude supports dependancies better
[16:53] <mustelo> how can I specify boot parameters to the installer on a standard desktop install disk? do I need the alternate disk?
[16:54] <Pici> cutiyar: Does this drive connect to your computer with a USB cable?
[16:54] <econdudeawesome> adamkex I thought apt-get is a branch of aptitude, and uses the same code?
[16:54] <cutiyar> pici, yes with my ipod
[16:54] <econdudeawesome> adamkex or at lease the same thing...
[16:54] <rww> aptitude will actually tell you why something's uninstallable due to dependency problems, whereas apt-get will just spit out basic, useless, information and give up.
[16:54] <rww> If you don't have dependency problems, they're pretty much the same.
[16:54] <adamkex> econdudeawesome: it's not the same thing, it's a different frontend to dpkg
[16:54] <geri> is there a packet tinyos-2.1.0 in ubuntu?
[16:55] <rww> (on the command-line, anyway)
[16:55] <econdudeawesome> adamkex ah
[16:55] <_johnny> some c programmer please?
[16:55] <adamkex> econdudeawesome: listen to rww
[16:55] <geri> wrong chan;)
[16:55] <rww> geri: no, and considering that tinyos looks to be an OS, that's not really surprising
[16:55] <Pici> _johnny: C support is in ##C, you'll need to register to join there.
[16:55] <Pici> !register > _johnny
[16:55] <_johnny> geri: no, it's only an ubuntu issue
[16:55] <geri> rww, but there is a package in debian
[16:55] <geri> how that comes?
[16:55] <rww> geri: named "tinyos"? no there isn't
[16:55] <geri> yes
[16:55] <rww> geri: no: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tinyos
[16:56] <geri> rww, http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Installing_TinyOS_2.1
[16:56] <geri> its metioned here
[16:56] <abhijit> _johnny, try in #c
[16:56] <econdudeawesome> rww but I like my basic, useless info ;-) What is the aptitude equivalent command for apt-get update && apt-get upgrade>
[16:56] <rww> econdudeawesome: aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade
[16:56] <_johnny> ok, thanks
[16:56] <rww> you can use upgrade too, but it's deprecated
[16:56] <adamkex> econdudeawesome: aptitude searches, apt-get doesn't
[16:56] <Pici> cutiyar: Please try: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdd /media/cdrom
[16:56] <econdudeawesome> rwww and for apt-get dist-upgrade?
[16:56] <rww> geri: no, that's a repository for Debian. It's not part of debian
[16:56] <Pici> adamkex: Thats what apt-cache is for.
[16:56] <arvind_khadri> econdudeawesome, you can use dist-upgrade, thats better
[16:56] <picard1421> is mini ubuntu a 2.4 kernel or 2.6?
[16:57] <adamkex> Pici: i know
[16:57] <rww> econdudeawesome: full-upgrade or dist-upgrade, second is deprecated
[16:57] <geri> rww, ??
[16:57] <geri> rww, they do: sudo apt-get install tinyos-2.1.0
[16:57] <picard1421> or ubuntu 10.4 in general 2.4 kernel or 2.6
[16:57] <econdudeawesome> rww I'm unfamiliar with the term: deprecacted?
[16:57] <adamkex> econdudeawesome: not used, old
[16:57] <arvind_khadri> picard1421, 2.6
[16:57] <cutiyar> Pici, http://pastebin.com/BduUgX6C

[16:57] <abhijit> !mini | picard1421
[16:57] <adamkex> econdudeawesome: steam engines are deprecated
[16:57] <rww> econdudeawesome: Deprecated means that it's still supported, but recommended that you use another way because it may be removed in the future.
[16:57] <rww> s/supported/available/
[16:58] <Pici> cutiyar: Then your disc is already mounted in the location mentioned.
[16:58] <Pici> cutiyar: It should show up as 'New Volume'
[16:58] <econdudeawesome> adamkex steam engines have made leaps and bounds in recent years as people look to move off oil :-D
[16:58] <phanindra> i am trying to install ubuntu from usb drive, while installing i got an error that "Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO". What shall i do?
[16:58] <adamkex> econdudeawesome: hehehe, you know what i mean ;)
[16:58] <cutiyar> Pici,  its my ipod
[16:58] <cablop> which is the ubuntu firewall?
[16:58] <Pici> geri: They also add a new repository in the first step.
[16:58] <rww> ubottu: ufw | cablop
[16:59] <abhijit> !unetbootin | phanindra
[16:59] <econdudeawesome> rww is full-upgrade not recommended, as it may install packages with broken dependencies?>
[16:59] <cablop> thanks rww
[16:59] <Pici> cutiyar: Please try: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdc /media/cdrom
[16:59] <aronaliaga> hola
[16:59] <aronaliaga> alguien me ayuda?
[16:59] <cutiyar> pici , i will remove my ipod and i will try
[16:59] <aronaliaga> es una duda q tengo
[16:59] <Pici> !es | adamkex
[17:00] <Pici> adamkex: sorry, mistab.
[17:00] <erkan^> Touchpad: I switch from a touchpad: FN + F10. My question: Can I use FN + F10 at startup applications preferences to set that next time I re-type FN + 10? If so, what name or command?
[17:00] <Error404NotFound> when i set the properties on gnome-panel to be solid color and max transparent, why doesn't the region behind "Application-Places-System" go transparent as well?
[17:00] <geri> pici i need to download it manually?
[17:00] <Pici> econdudeawesome: 'full-upgrade' and 'dist-upgrade' do the same thing.
[17:00] <rww> econdudeawesome: it does the same as apt-get dist-upgrade. It may remove packages to satisfy dependencies, and is thus more likely to cause problems. Neither safe-upgrade nor full-upgrade (or their apt-get equivalents) will install packages with unsatisfiable dependencies, though aptitude's output is more informative.
[17:01] <econdudeawesome> rww i see
[17:01] <FreeRunner> anyone know how to setup a proxy to tunnel all local traffic in and out of specific ports on and ubuntu server? (hope that makes sense
[17:01] <cutiyar> Pici,  no medium found
[17:01] <econdudeawesome> Pici if so, then why waste the programmers time with both? ;-)
[17:01] <madmax_x> how do i create a shortcut to genome terminal that opens in a specific folder...more importantly i have an app that id i create a shortcut to the binary it says "please change to the directory before running)
[17:02] <Pici> econdudeawesome: I don't know the rationale behind renaming that argument.
[17:02] <Pici> geri: No, just follow the directions there.  It sounds like you skipped the first few steps.
[17:02] <Pici> cutiyar: And you have a cd or dvd in that drive?
[17:02] <cutiyar> Pici, yes
[17:03] <cutiyar> Pici, i tired u so much iam so sorry but i have to
[17:03] <rww> Pici: because dist-upgrade is confusing, as comes up in here occasionally (since it's not actually used for Distribution Upgrades sometimes)
[17:03] <cutiyar> Pici, to fix it
[17:03] <rww> (or at all in Ubuntu)
[17:05] <geekette2010> does anyone know how to get the kindle reader for Linux?

[17:05] <abhijit> hello friends
[17:05] <adamkex> 10.04 lucid lynx
[17:05] <rww> geri: lucid
[17:05] <geri> oh

[17:05] <Dr_Willis> !hardy
[17:06] <gafir> !lucid
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> geri:  hardy 8.04 is over 2 years old.
[17:06] <abhijit> so i am planning to completely remove ubuntu-desktop and then  reinstall it. i just need to know what thing i wll loose? i want all my data. which program i will loose?
[17:06] <geri> i am not up to date;)
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  the ubuntu-desktop package you mean? that wont remove anything..
[17:06] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, yes
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  its just a meta-package. Why are you doing this anyway?
[17:06] <xangua> abhijit: what are you trying to do¿
[17:07] <arvind_khadri> abhijit, your gnome application settings and stuff
[17:07] <xangua> more like, what do you want to do¿
[17:07] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, xangua my firefox started to run veryyyyyyyyyy slow and also all my mouse icons are messed up since i removed kubuntu-desktop. so i want to restore all that
[17:07] <abhijit> arvind_khadri, ^^
[17:07] <StefanMonov> Hi. I have a server pc with no GUI, which had a working internet connection yesterday but today it doesn't work. Can you help me fix it? It uses DHCP.
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  that would have nothing to do with *-desktop packages i imagine
[17:08] <AnxiousNut> Help, the terminal allows me to do "sudo nautilus --no-desktop" but not "gksu"!!
[17:08] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, i want clean desktop actually
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  make a new user. see if its slow for them. If its NOT.. then you just showed its a user setting/plugin thats the issue
[17:08] <adamkex> StefanMonov: type "dhclient eth0" in the server
[17:08] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, ok
[17:09] <xangua> or a lot of plugins in firefox case
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  clean 'user settings' ? if so remove the users setting dirs.. nothing at all will be removed from the USERS settings if you remove the variouys packages
[17:09] <sipior> AnxiousNut: does gksudo work?
[17:09] <StefanMonov> adamkex: I did. it's also in /etc/rc.local. doesn't help
[17:09] <subsume> Hi everyone. I sense I might have a swollen kcore. Can someone help me diagnose it?
[17:09] <adamkex> StefanMonov: check the cable
[17:09] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, how to remove all my desktop user settings in order to get new clean settings?
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  this isent windows. :)  programs dont normally 'remove' their settings. and definatly dont touch settings in the users homes.
[17:09] <abhijit> xangua, ok
[17:09] <sipior> subsume: a swollen kcore? did you hit with something?
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  delete whatever dirs/files teh settings are in, in the users home dir.
[17:09] <subsume> Maybe
[17:10] <subsume> its 750MB
[17:10] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, yah ok
[17:10] <subsume> seems exorbidant
[17:10] <AnxiousNut> sipior, yes it works but not with the nautilus command: gksudo -q nautilus --no-desktop doesnt work
[17:10] <StefanMonov> adamkex: double checked, plugged and blinking
[17:10] <adamkex> StefanMonov: do you get an error message?
[17:10] <philinux> abhijit: do you mean you want a default ubuntu desktop
[17:10] <mrjbg> hey guys
[17:10] <AnxiousNut> sipior, but it works without the --no-desktop option
[17:10] <mrjbg> I ve messed up my eclipse installation
[17:10] <StefanMonov> adamkex: no. I just can't ping anything (not even by IP address)
[17:10] <sipior> subsume: kcore isn't acutally a file. looks about right to me.
[17:11] <mrjbg> you have any idea how to fix it
[17:11] <subsume> righton
[17:11] <mrjbg> ?
[17:11] <mrjbg> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter
[17:11] <subsume> I will remove it then
[17:11] <abhijit> philinux, may be. i want my firefox and mouse icons things to be as that of when they were i installed first time lucid on my pc
[17:11] <sipior> subsume: no, don't do that.
[17:11] <StefanMonov> adamkex: well, I haven't looked for an error msg in dmesg or anything
[17:11] <subsume> its done
[17:11] <sipior> subsume: do you understand what kcore is?
[17:11] <StefanMonov> adamkex: but dhclient doesn't give an error
[17:11] <subsume> yeah its not really a file so I can delete it
[17:11] <prodcutnews> hi
[17:11] <adamkex> StefanMonov: can you ping your router?
[17:11] <n00b_> i am unable to delete a folder . i even used rm -rf but wasnt successful. moreover it is saying  Input/output error
[17:11] <philinux> abhijit: then use the default theme
[17:11] <mrjbg> guys?
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> If you dont know what 'kcore' is - well.. you proberly should be leaving it alond.
[17:11] <subsume> n00b_, remove knife from HD
[17:12] <mrjbg> any help with messed up eclipse installation
[17:12] <adamkex> n00b_: add sudo infront of your command
[17:12] <sipior> subsume: you notice that it didn't save you any space, right?
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> n00b_:  file system curruption, fsck the filesystem. or the Hd is going bad. are also posibilities
[17:12] <cmpsalvestrini> n00b_: sounds like your disc is conking heads...
[17:12] <abhijit> philinux, all that mouse theme is just messed up after removing kde. i cant just change mouse icons :(
[17:12] <subsume> sipior, heh I was joking.
[17:12] <StefanMonov> adamkex: there is no router between the server and the ISP, but there is a router between the server and our LAN, and no, I can't ping that router.
[17:12] <sipior> subsume: i guess that's better than stupid :-)
[17:12] <BKTech86> hello
[17:12] <philinux> abhijit: is this ubuntu and gnome
[17:12] <subsume> not in some courts
[17:13] <abhijit> philinux, yes
[17:13] <mrjbg> ?
[17:13]  * cmpsalvestrini loves the brotherly communion of fellow ubuntu geeks
[17:13] <philinux> abhijit: so you installed kubuntu-desktop the uninstalled kde
[17:13] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> I've installed once gcc-3.4.2 from source into /usr/local tree, what is the easiest way to remove it from there?
[17:13] <abhijit> philinux, exactly
[17:13] <philinux> hang on
[17:14] <guest__> hello.. can i get some help for windows xp here?
[17:14] <adamkex> StefanMonov: this may be a dumb question but what if eth0 is the wrong device
[17:14] <adamkex> guest__: no
[17:14] <abhijit> philinux, and after that only that firerox and mouse icon problem starts (as I guess ;)  )
[17:14] <guest__> any suggestions
[17:14] <adamkex> guest__: go to ##windows
[17:14] <arvind_khadri> guest__, ##windows
[17:14] <guest__> tahnks
[17:14] <mrjbg> hello
[17:14] <philinux> abhijit: is this lucid lynx if so http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[17:14] <mrjbg> can I get some help with ubuntu and eclipse here?
[17:14] <cmpsalvestrini> guest__: this is a Linux support channel
[17:14] <abhijit> philinux, yes this is lucid
[17:15] <abhijit> !ask | mrjbg
[17:15] <philinux> abhijit: see the link I gave
[17:15] <abhijit> philinux, yes sure
[17:15] <StefanMonov> adamkex: yesterday it was certainly the correct device, and no one has touched the pc since then. I don't know if it can automatically change its number silently though.
[17:15] <guest__> cmpsalvestrini: i know..  i am a linux user also.. just cam to ask .. thanks
[17:15] <cct> hola
[17:15] <arvind_khadri> MitsuoDeshoDesho, i guess make clean, did you do make install ??
[17:15] <n00b_> i tried fsck but it didnt work. i also tried e2fsck -b 8193 <device> but it regularly says the same message
[17:15] <philinux> abhijit: you might have missed uninstalling some kde stuff
[17:15] <cct> alguien español
[17:15] <guest__> cam= came
[17:15] <ZykoticK9> !es | cct
[17:15] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> arvind_khadri: I did, into /usr/local
[17:16] <mrjbg> When I start Eclipse I get: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter
[17:16] <mrjbg> Can Anyone help ?
[17:16] <krambiorix> hi guys, i bought myself a wireless mouse (Microsoft) but sometimes it crashes. What could be the problem?
[17:16] <cmpsalvestrini> guest__: I'm sure that there will be other friendly and charming people over at #windows
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> MitsuoDeshoDesho, then you need to see the README , it will instructions about uninstalling
[17:16] <abhijit> philinux, yes looks like that. i first done sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop after that i removed some kde aps manually but after that till today there is .kde folder in my /home folder. each time i delte it the next login it is there again :(
[17:16] <n00b_> mrjbg: how did you install it
[17:16] <adamkex> StefanMonov: something wrong with the ISP?
[17:16] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> arvind_khadri: thanks, I'll take a look
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> MitsuoDeshoDesho, make uninstall or make clean will help :)
[17:16] <guest__> cmpsalvestrini: .. thanks.. just came to ask the name of a channel.. geez  :)
[17:16] <abhijit> mrjbg, jfy there is channel #eclipse
[17:17] <mrjbg> n00b_: it was working ok then I tried to install an UML plugin ......
[17:17] <philinux> abhijit: that link should remove all of it except the stuff in home
[17:17] <StefanMonov> adamkex: still haven't called them, will do.
[17:17] <StefanMonov> thanks
[17:17] <cmpsalvestrini> guest__: people here are a bit... erm... peculiar?
[17:17] <abhijit> philinux, ok. my all imp data in /home
[17:17] <adamkex> StefanMonov: you're welcome, sorry that i could not help
[17:17] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> arvind_khadri, I think make uninstall says something about not being available in the current tre
[17:17] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> e
[17:17] <n00b_> i tried fsck but it didnt work. i also tried e2fsck -b 8193 <device> but it regularly says the same message
[17:18] <abhijit> philinux, brb
[17:18] <n00b_> to try e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> n00b_:  i hope you got some backups
[17:18] <arvind_khadri> MitsuoDeshoDesho, oh ok, read the documentation first, also try asking in #gcc once.
[17:18] <blendmaster1024> I have a rather serious problem: in one of my two ubuntu installs on my laptop, the one I use, the network manager icon ALWAYS says "networking disabled". period, no matter how much I restart NM. any idea what could cause this?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> n00b_:  what filesystem is the data on? ext2/3/4?
[17:18] <MitsuoDeshoDesho> arvind_khadri, I will.
[17:19] <ZykoticK9> n00b_, an I/O error may indicate a failing drive.  In a terminal type "dmesg" and see if your kernel is see lots of I/O errors.  Best of luck, and i agree with Dr_Willis backup statement above.
[17:20] <blendmaster1024> n00b_: make that "dmesg | tail"
[17:20] <krambiorix>  i bought myself a wireless mouse (Microsoft) but sometimes it crashes (as in stops working). What could be the problem?
[17:20] <ZykoticK9> blendmaster1024, right click on network icon, "enable networking" ?
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  theres some 'tools' that may help you in recovering the data from the partition. but it will take some work. and is not guarenteed
[17:20] <Micheal`> krambiorix, bluetooth or rf?
[17:20] <blendmaster1024> ZykoticK9: I didn't know you could do that ... I thought something in /etc was shut off :P
[17:20] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, i think you mean n00b_ ;)
[17:21] <n00b_> Dr_Willis: i dnt knw the file sys . it is saying   folder(inode/dir)
[17:21] <blendmaster1024> ZykoticK9: yep, looks like it.
[17:21] <racerd> zykotick9 | hey
[17:21] <blendmaster1024> ZykoticK9: thanks, rebooting back to the good install now
[17:21] <ZykoticK9> racerd, hey?
[17:21] <ZykoticK9> blendmaster1024_, glad to help ;)
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> n00b_:  the fsck command should of mentioned it.. you are not trying to use fsck.ext3 on a ntfs or vfat partition are you?
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> n00b_:  or check 'sudo fdisk -l' output.
[17:21] <mrjbg> n00b_: how to remove completely eclipse from ubuntu ?
[17:21] <krambiorix> Micheal`, i guess rf, it comes with a usb receiver...
[17:21] <madmax_x> how do i create a shortcut to genome terminal that opens in a specific folder...more importantly i have an app that id i create a shortcut to the binary it says "please change to the directory before running)
[17:22] <mrjbg> I suppose if I remove all files and then reinstall it
[17:22] <mrjbg> it should work right?
[17:22] <econdudeawesome> Does anyone know where elinks saves downloaded files to by default?
[17:22] <racerd> zykotick9 | I am about intstall windows on another drive.  It is grub i want to install after that right?
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> madmax_x:  i think 'gnome-terminal' can take command line options for that.
[17:22] <madmax_x> econdudeawesome, ~/Downloads
[17:22] <top> what script is called on wake from hibernation? I would like to issue some commands on resume from hibernation
[17:22] <econdudeawesome> madmax_x I checked there, but saw nothing...
[17:22] <ZykoticK9> racerd, grub1 is the older grub, what version of Ubuntu are you using (was it updated between versions?)?
[17:23] <econdudeawesome> madmax_x where would the config file be?
[17:23] <madmax_x> Dr_Willis, i tried gnome-terminal "MYPATH" didnt work
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> madmax_x:  check gnome-terminal --help for options
[17:23] <racerd> zykotick9, 10.04
[17:23] <acp_> hi, can any one suggest a wireless head set that will work for ubuntu?
[17:23] <madmax_x> Dr_Willis, duh sorry
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> madmax_x:  xterm and others can use a -c option. but i dont see that in gnome-terminal
[17:23] <n00b_> mrjbg: sudo apt-get remove
[17:23] <ZykoticK9> racerd, well so long as that wasn't upgraded from previous versions - then you are probably using grub2
[17:24] <Micheal`> krambiorix, all logi stuff i use works without an issue. alot of microsoft stuff used to be logi chips... is there any other info that might help?
[17:24] <mrjbg> lol
[17:24] <mrjbg> n00b_: I know this one
[17:24] <racerd> zykotick9, isn't there a way to check the version?
[17:24] <mrjbg> n00b_: i need to completely remove everything that has to do with eclipse
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> madmax_x:  its the -e option.. 'gnome-terminal -e cd /'
[17:24] <n00b_> mrjbg: it would be better u delete alll the files from synaptic
[17:25] <krambiorix> Micheal`, well, it after booting it works but suddenly it stops working
[17:25] <sjm> mrjbg: check the purge option of apt-get or aptitude or "remove completely" in synaptic.
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. -e seems briken
[17:25] <n00b_> mrjbg: it will help you
[17:25] <ZykoticK9> racerd, restart and see what version # is shown on the grub screen, FYI 1.7 = 2 ;)
[17:25] <econdudeawesome> Does anyone know where elinks saves downloaded files to by default?
[17:25] <djudldin> hello everybody! how is it called the "tool" in the right side of the upper bar where you can shutdown, change user etc?
[17:25] <nurv> does anybody on here use vuze?
[17:26] <ZykoticK9> !anyone > nurv
[17:26] <IdleOne> djudldin: Indicator applet session
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> madmax_x: this might work -->  gnome-terminal --command 'bash scripttocd.sh'
[17:26] <Micheal`> krambiorix, have you tried just resetting the mouse?
[17:27] <djudldin> IdleOne : how can i put back in the bar?
[17:27] <MamboKing> hello all, I'm recompiling my kernel to get iscsi-scsit built with kernel support
[17:27] <krambiorix> Micheal`, yes more than once. Sometimes it works again when i plug out and plugin the receiver
[17:27] <n00b__> i am still unable to find the filesystem
[17:27] <IdleOne> djudldin: right click on the panel > Add to panel > select indicator applet session
[17:27] <MamboKing> can anyone tell me what the difference between linux-headers-2.6.32-21 and linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS>-generic is?  I'm currently running -generic if I cat /proc/version
[17:27] <Micheal`> krambiorix, next time rty turning just the mouse off and then back on or pull the battery and put it back in
[17:28] <mrjbg> FIXED
[17:28] <mrjbg> :)
[17:28] <djudldin> IdleOne : thanks!
[17:28] <nurv> im having an issue with vuze, i configure my firewall for port forwarding for vuze, and did the nat/firewall on vuze and it passed that, and did the upload and download speed test succesful but when i go to do a search i just get the circle and no results
[17:28] <mrjbg> THANKS!
[17:28] <mrjbg> :)
[17:28] <krambiorix> Micheal`, i tried, doesn't work :s
[17:29] <krambiorix> now i moved the receiver in another usb port and it works again, but for how long...
[17:29] <Micheal`> krambiorix, do you have alot of other wireless items around?
[17:29] <n00b__> i am still unable to find the filesystem
[17:30] <krambiorix> Micheal`, none, but my mobile is here and my printer works on bluetooth
[17:30] <Ubuntus> Can you recommend me something to record my screen and outputs it in an .AVI file?
[17:31] <caution> what's the easiest way to accept mail from my mail client and deliver it directly to the recipient without the need for an smtp server provided by someone else?
[17:32] <rww> ubottu: postfix | caution
[17:32] <rww> It's what I use, and is the default Ubuntu MTA, anyway.
[17:32] <caution> thanks
[17:34] <racerd> zykotick9 | hey i have a silent boot
[17:34] <warz> hi all, is there a utility that will show me the MD5 hash of a file?
[17:34] <warz> or checksum, or whatever it is
[17:35] <sipior> caution: you'll probably want to ensure that your ISP allows for proper reverse-dns lookups of your address, or you'll find that most of your mail does not make it to its destination.
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> !md5
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> warz:  the md5 command..
[17:35] <warz> md5sum*
[17:35] <caution> sipior: what do you mean by proper?
[17:35] <warz> thanks
[17:35] <sipior> caution: easier just to set up postfix to use your ISP's smtp as a relay.
[17:36] <sipior> caution: i mean "it works" :-)
[17:36] <willeb> Hi! i'm new to ubuntu, so be kind =P is there a linux program equivalent with frostwire and limewire?
[17:36] <Ubuntus> Gnutella
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> !frostwire | willeb
[17:37] <napsy> Hello. Is there a fix for the ugly boot splash when using ati catalyst drivers?
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> napsy:  other then disabling Plymouth you mean? :)
[17:37] <napsy> yes, ofcurse
[17:38] <sipior> caution: most places will happily hand out ip addresses, but will not maintain a reverse-lookup table, mapping ip addresses to hostnames. most smtp servers are configured not to accept mail from machines whose names don't match their addresses.
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> I found it easier to just disable it. :) but im on nvidia
[17:38] <ZykoticK9> racerd, ok then new test of grub version ;)  If you can hold down the shift key as computer starts and get grub then you have Grub2
[17:38] <caution> most?
[17:38] <caution> I didn't know that
[17:39] <sipior> caution: standard anti-spammer protocol
[17:39] <caution> are you talking about when the host name is used in the HELO though?
[17:39] <sipior> caution: yep
[17:39] <caution> I'm pretty sure you're wrong if not
[17:39] <abhijit> hello
[17:39] <abhijit> philinux, Dr_Willis, xangua thanks :)
[17:39] <caution> so the solution is not to use an invalid host name in the HELO
[17:40] <philinux> abhijit: nice one
[17:40] <sipior> caution: right, the question of how that validity is established brings us back to the reverse-dns query.

[17:46] <sipior> Raman: you're looking for the "timeout" parameter in /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[17:46] <forceflow> sipior: isn't it different for grub2?
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> JamaKris:  disk boots on other machines? the md5 checked out? you burnt it at the slowest speed you can? Try making a bootable usb flash drive to install from?
[17:47] <sipior> forceflow: didn't think so, but i suppose it's possible. yay linux, fixing things that aren't broken.
[17:47] <JamaKris> it boots up on other machine and can install on my desktop from same disk
[17:47] <phanindra> my cd rom is not working thats why i want it to install from usb.plz help

[17:55] <sjm> racerd, you can remove old kernels through synaptic or your favorite apt tool.

[17:57] <sjm> racerd, IIRC you need to search on "linux-image"
[17:57] <sjm> racerd, just make sure you don't remove the one you want to keep.

[18:01] <preecher> for last 2 days i been getting the upuntu update popup notice-when i click to install the updates it starts the download and then just stops and say it take like 8 hours to download-its only a 20 meg dload -is they another way to download the update other than update manager or is it just so busy ?
[18:01] <racethesunlive> If i use the create a startup disk feature to make a bootable usb drive, will my settings save back to that drive when i change things?
[18:01] <sjm> racerd, I sent it a little earlier, I think it's "linux-image" (just make sure you leave at least the one you want to still use)
[18:02] <rww> racethesunlive: If you set the persistant option, yes.
[18:02] <racethesunlive> preecher: you can update using the command line, its 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'
[18:02] <rww> racethesunlive: sorry, they renamed it. The "Stored in reserved extra space" one
[18:02] <sjm> Randumb, Not sure, but I'd try it.  It's only something like a 80MB download, burn, try to install with it.
[18:02] <preecher> racethesunlive thanks-)
[18:03] <sjm> preecher, It might also be the mirror you are pointing at that is slow.  you might try changing mirrors.
[18:03] <racethesunlive> rww: i see the option but its grayed out, am i missing something?
[18:04] <JViz> i ran updates for ubuntu and now windows is gone from the bootloader
[18:04] <preecher> now i have a really lame question- i just did the sudo apt-get update and it already done--how come it work and the other no work?
[18:04] <preecher> did i get the same update?
[18:05] <racethesunlive> preecher: apt-get update, updates the list of available software
[18:05] <rww> racethesunlive: Do you have a source image and disk selected in the two boxes above it, and does the selected disk have enough free space?
[18:05] <sjm> preecher, the update just updates the list of packages, the "upgrade" is what pulls the updates down.
[18:05] <racethesunlive> preecher: the second command, apt-get upgrade, does the actual upgrading
[18:05] <IdleOne> preecher: apt-get update    updates the list of available packages now you need to sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:05] <kopper> bye
[18:05] <JamaKris> when i try to install ubuntu, it stops on this last entry while loading....[0.708248] [<c0104087>] kernel_thread_helper +0x7/0x10
[18:05] <preecher> do i need to do the upgrade even if i using 10.4 already
[18:06] <madmax_x> how do you put a timed wait in a shell script
[18:06] <Micheal`> sleep X
[18:06] <madmax_x> thanks
[18:06] <IdleOne> preecher: sudo apt-get upgrade (upgrades the packages and not the entire OS)
[18:06] <madmax_x> x = ms
[18:06] <madmax_x> ?
[18:06] <Micheal`> yeah
[18:06] <preecher> IdleOne oh ok thanks-)

[18:08] <cmpsalvestrini> well friends it's been fun but I gotta dash
[18:08] <JamaKris> when i try to install ubuntu, it stops on this last entry while loading....[0.708248] [<c0104087>] kernel_thread_helper +0x7/0x10 can someone help me with this?
[18:09] <Micheal`> is there a fast way to back up my stuff on 10.04 so i can restore it on another box?
[18:09] <cannonballs> anyone able to help me with a install problem
[18:09] <JamaKris> cannon im also trying to get help with install problem
[18:09] <Micheal`> cannonballs, have you checked the media and memory?
[18:10] <cannonballs> dont know what ya mean by media, but I jave 4 gigs of ram
[18:10] <JamaKris> micheal can u help me also
[18:10] <sjm> Micheal`, what "stuff"?
[18:10] <maco> cannonballs: media = the cd or flash drive you are using to install from
[18:10] <Micheal`> user dir really
[18:10] <_mojo_> i have a problem with my touch-screen... someone who can help?
[18:10] <cannonballs> what kinda problem you having Jama>
[18:11] <JamaKris> when i try to install ubuntu, it stops on this last entry while loading....[0.708248] [<c0104087>] kernel_thread_helper +0x7/0x10 can someone help me with this?
[18:11] <JamaKris> i use this same media to install on my desktop worked fine
[18:11] <Micheal`> sjm, i just was looking for a faster way than rsync
[18:11] <sjm> Micheal`, is the other box already installed and running?  (If so, I'd use rsync across ssh)
[18:12] <maco> Micheal`: rsync's about the fastest you'll get, since it only copies the changes
[18:12] <Micheal`> sjm,  was hoping for something faster but i will live then
[18:12] <cannonballs> ok brb gonna just write down the error I get.. be much easier
[18:12] <JamaKris> micheal did you get that
[18:12] <sjm> Micheal`, I can't remember the incantation, but you could tar/gzip it to USB and then reverse it at the other end.
[18:12] <Micheal`> sjm, maco thanks
[18:13] <maco> sjm: itd be: tar zcf backup.tar.gz folder/
[18:13] <preecher> when/if i do something in terminal is it the same as when i do it by clicking on it in applications or whatever?
[18:13] <maco> preecher: generally, yes
[18:13] <preecher> maco oh ok thanks
[18:14] <maco> preecher: the "Exec=" line in the .desktop in /usr/share/applications/ that corresponds to the menu entry will tell you exactly what command matches. usually its the same. sometimes it's "gksudo <command>" (like things in the administration menu)

[18:16] <spydee32> hello, i have 64bit lucid lynx, trying to stream a wmv video online. gnome mplayer works but its buggy for me, any other way? (i tried vlc plugin and totem, not working)
[18:17] <NiCeWoLf> hey got a question how come any other network says connection refused?
[18:17] <sjm> roy__, fillable forms?  I'd try OpenOffice.
[18:18] <maco> preecher: the book "how linux works" (no starch press) might be worth reading. i havent done so, but i was flipping through it last week and figured it was perfect for the kid i was hanging out with to get beyond the gui (made sure she got a copy)
[18:19] <sjm> maco, :( you just missed him...
[18:19] <maco> doh
[18:19] <roy__> filliable form
[18:19] <sjm> roy__, I think OpenOffice can create fillable pdf forms, IIRC
[18:20] <roy__> do you know exactly where sjm
[18:21] <cannonballs> ok guys.. thanks for helping.. heres my situation
[18:21] <anAngel> Hello, can u tell me some free log analyzers that work with shorewall or iptables
[18:21] <sjm> roy__, try this: http://www.octobersystems.net/2010/07/08/howto-create-fillable-pdf-forms-with-open-office/
[18:22] <roy__> ok thanks
[18:22] <ExAstris> Hi all.  It's a .run installer and it's a sort of gui within the command line shell - yes/no buttons, etc, manipulated with arrow keys. There are [X] boxes I want to uncheck, how do I d othat? I can move up and down the list
[18:23] <ExAstris> but hitting enter moves me to the next step in the installation
[18:23] <rww> ExAstris: spacebar, possibly?
[18:23] <cannonballs> I boot w/cd.. I goto a purple screen for a few seconds, then a blank screeen with cursur blinking at top left (1-2mins) next, the purple "unbuntu" screen (2-3mins). Finishing with this on a blank screen.
[18:23] <ExAstris> that didi t

[18:25] <Raven> hello
[18:25] <monkey_dust> !hi| Raven
[18:25] <cannonballs> any Ideas?
[18:26] <MikeHoncho> Does anyone have a recommendation for a multi-threaded download manager?
[18:26] <cablop> !clipboard
[18:26] <hal_canary> I've got a quick question.  I just want sound when I get a new instant message from Empathy, but I don't want any other sounds on my system.  How do I do that?
[18:26] <cablop> any good clipboard manager for gnome? i got used to ditto-cp in windows, now i need one in linux
[18:27] <MikeHoncho> cablop:  Parcellite?
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> MikeHoncho: uget is one I used to use. Not sure what multithreaded is in the context
[18:27] <Pici> cablop: glipper?
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> +1 for glipper
[18:27] <Sasquatch7>  I have a simple bash script that opens a web browser. Though I want the browser to open in the background and not effect the terminal/application I'm currently using. Is this possible?
[18:27] <coz_> cablop,   how about glipper
[18:28] <coz_> cablop,   it is a panel applet i believe
[18:28] <MikeHoncho> ActionParsnip:  Looking for something that'll download a file in multi-parts at the same time.  Speeds up the download.
[18:28] <cannonballs> so...? anyone know what the "unable to find a mediuym containing a live file system" error during install could be?
[18:28] <hal_canary> Sasquatch: $browser_exevutable > /dev/null 2>&1 &
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> hal_canary: set the system sound theme to none (or remove the ubuntu-sounds package). You can then set the sounds as you wish in empathy
[18:28] <hal_canary> But that didn't work.
[18:28] <coz_> cannonball,  if you are running with the live cd  then something ismost likely up with your cdrom
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Sasquatch7: add an ampersand on the end of the commands to background them
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> MikeHoncho: not heard of that
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> cannonballs: did you md5 test the iso and verify the cd?
[18:30] <cannonballs> what do you mean something wrong with my cdrom? The Drive is working fine, this is a fairly new pc
[18:30] <anAngel> Hello, can u tell me some free log analyzers that work with shorewall, iptables or any other good network analyzer programs/scripts
[18:30] <cannonballs> yes
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> cannonballs: is the install media verified in any way?
[18:30] <surfereddie> hello
[18:30] <cannonballs> I havd this problem about 6moths ago, and just gacve up
[18:31] <Sasquatch7> ActionParsnip: I have that already and it still opens and automatically redirects me into the browser window :\
[18:31] <coz_> cannonball,  ok when you run the live cd    choose the  "Check cd" option
[18:31] <cannonball> cannonballs: Nice nick :-)
[18:31] <cannonballs> haha thanks this is my mmo nick I've used for years
[18:31] <coz_> cannonballs,   use the check cd option from the live cd to be sure the cd itself is not  corrupted
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> cannonballs: when you boot the cd, press space then select check cd for defects as coz_  suggests
[18:32] <cannonballs> -->ActionParsnip I dont know
[18:32] <Micheal`> O_o! why did i have a server kernel??
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> cannonballs: I just gave you the method. The cd you burned sounds bad.
[18:32] <strangeseraph> I'm having trouble with java
[18:33] <strangeseraph> can anybody help me?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> Micheal`: you install the server release or installed the kernel manually
[18:33] <coz_> cannonballs,   when burning an image   you might want to burn it at  1x  or the slowest possible speed on the application you use
[18:33] <abhijit> !ask | strangeseraph
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> !details | strangeseraph
[18:33] <cannonballs> ok I'll do the hit spacebar thing during install and see
[18:34] <coz_> cannonballs,   this will help in getting a good burn...also ...if you want " less to burn"  therefore less to corrupt...download the minimal install cd and go from there
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> cannonballs: also md5 testing the iso will tell you if the file you have downloaded is complete and consistant
[18:34] <coz_> ^^
[18:34] <Micheal`> ActionParsnip, it is very much a desktop release. and maybe it is from when i was playing with xen....
[18:35] <strangeseraph> All right. I have a chat room that I regularly visit which is on a custom in browser java chat window. It can be found here (but you have to be logged in to see it). http://forums.romancedivas.com/index.php?app=chat Its normally worked fine, but today its not displaying the custom commands and buttons correctly, and I am unable to connect fully to the chatroom
[18:35] <sjm> ActionParsnip, cannonballs just left, but if he returns, another thing that causes that is a CD drive that is recognized by the BIOS, but not the drivers on the livecd.
[18:35] <strangeseraph> this happened after an update of my computer and I'm really not sure which updates could have caused it.
[18:35] <courtni> Hi everyone, is there anyway to changa from the netbook version of ubuntu to the desktop version?
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Micheal`: you could make the steps to remove the kernel/s then see what else will need to be remove (the deps). You can cancel the removal after reviewing the list by pressing n
[18:35] <gabriel_pimentel> Hi everyone
[18:36] <Micheal`> ActionParsnip, ty
[18:36] <sjm> courtni, they're basically the same except a few user interfaces, I think.
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> sjm: I'm shooting for bad cd as so many people are ignorant of md5 and cd checking
[18:37] <sjm> courtni, what do you want to change?
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> !hi | gabriel_pimentel
[18:37] <sjm> ActionParsnip, I've run into that, though many a time and had to install from a usb cd drive
[18:37] <gabriel_pimentel> I have a problem with ubnutn 10.4, I cant connect to my wireless network, I have a RTL8187 chipset
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> sjm: true but still need to md5 before transferring
[18:37] <courtni> the only thing I wanted to change was the user interface actually, is there another way to do this?
[18:38] <sjm> ActionParsnip, true.  Just another troubleshooting step.
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> courtni: vhange in what way?
[18:38] <perlDreamer> since updating to FF 3.6.8, all textareas are using \r\n instead of just \n as line-endings.  Google and launchpad aren't showing anything about this.  What should I do next to track this down?
[18:38] <coz_> yes it is ALWAYS  wise to check the md5 sum of an iso ...if avialable..and they are available for ubuntu
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> perlDreamer: have you tried creating a new profile?
[18:38] <gabriel_pimentel> I have a problem with ubuntu 10.4, I cant connect to my wireless network, I have a RTL8187 chipset , I can see the network but It doesnt connect
[18:39] <sjm> courtni, yes.  I did a google search to find out how to do it on mine, just a sec to see if I can find the pages...
[18:39] <warz> Hi all. I installed the Desktop version of Ubuntu, but am trying to disable the automatic bootup of Gnome. I don't want it to use that graphical login prompt, either. I can't seem to disable this. I've tried rcconf, and that did nothing.
[18:39] <warz> Any ideas?
[18:39] <perlDreamer> ActionParsnip, no.  I'm kind of partial to the current profile.
[18:39] <strangeseraph> and this is why I ask for help because I always get silence if I just ask the question.
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> perlDreamer: sure but its useful to troubleshoot don't you think. You can have more than one profile
[18:40] <coz_> strangeseraph,  if no one knows the answer...unfortunately  they simply dont resond...if that happens again ...simply repost the question...and  hang out or if it is a problem that may be linux in general  you can to to the ##linux channel :)
[18:40] <nimbiotics> Since upgrading to 10.04, i've had more than a couple of issues, some of which have already been tackled. Next one i think i must address is some error messages I can see just before the graphical interface starts, but that I cannot catch. How can I catch them so I can post them here?? TIA!

[18:42] <sjm> courtni, I think you can just change it on login, IIRC.  After selecting your login name, change which session you want at the bottom before entering your password.
[18:42] <khider> Greetings all--I installed xubuntu on my laptop (hp6515b) and it no longer detects my wifi card via lspci. How to remedy?
[18:42] <philinux> perlDreamer: run firefox in safe mode. firefox -safe-mode can you post a screenshot of what you see.
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: do you have the latest java? Does java work in other pages?
[18:43] <madmax_x> gabriel_pimentel, did you compile your drivers?
[18:43] <lakowasi> When I download truecrypt I cannot extract the tar.gz file it says:unexpected end of file tar Unexpected EOF in archive tar Error is not recoverable exiting now
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> khider: run: sudo lshw -C network ,should show you stuff
[18:43] <lakowasi> what can i do?
[18:43] <strangeseraph> I have a source for java in my repository so it should always be the latest. This particular chat room requires sun java.
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> lakowasi: sounds like a bad download
[18:43] <strangeseraph> java works everywhere else yes.
[18:43] <strangeseraph> but I'll double check other java places just in case
[18:43] <khider> ActionParsnip: What about installing wifi drivers--it is hard to install drivers when it does not detect...
[18:43] <lakowasi> ActionParship: I downloaded 3 times already
[18:44] <gabriel_pimentel> the wireless car is recognized
[18:44] <perlDreamer> ActionParsnip: new profile behaves the same way
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: go to www.java.com to check it is the latest
[18:44] <gabriel_pimentel> the wireless card is recognized
[18:44] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: http://dpaste.com/222837/
[18:44] <madmax_x> gabriel_pimentel, are you using the provided drivers or did you compile from source
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> perlDreamer: ok cool, sounds like a bug then. How did you install the browser?
[18:44] <perlDreamer> it's stock ubuntu
[18:45] <strangeseraph> ah! there is an update! :)
[18:45] <gabriel_pimentel> ubuntu recognizeds
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: its no use to me.  That lot of text is you x server loading and will show issues etc
[18:45] <paco_> hola buenas tardes
[18:45] <gabriel_pimentel> ubuntu recognized it automatically, it was working fine until a few days ago
[18:45] <sebsebseb> Hi
[18:45] <strangeseraph> but why isn't it in the repository? I don't know how to use this bin thing. Ubuntu won't do anything when I double click in.
[18:45] <strangeseraph> it*
[18:45] <gabriel_pimentel> saludos paco
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> perlDreamer: try adding the mozilla ppa. The later build may cure the issue
[18:45] <paco_> me pueden ayudad ?
[18:45] <khider> ActionParsnip: It only detects the internet cable--not the wifi card when I run the command
[18:45] <paco_> saludos gabriel
[18:46] <sjm> !es | paco_
[18:46] <paco_> pueden ayudarme ?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> khider: then make sure the killswitch is set to on and reboot. You can also run: dmesg | less ,to see if its detected at boot
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: no, there is a page to test java and if you have the latest version
[18:47] <paco_> alguien puede ayudarme por favor ?
[18:47] <sjm> paco_, venga a #ubuntu-es
[18:47] <oCean_> paco_: /join #ubuntu-es
[18:47] <mneptok> paco_: Ingles solamente aqui, pf
[18:47] <strangeseraph> I did that ActionParsnip and it told me to download an update. But my update sources should give me the latest. :(
[18:47] <paco_> ok gracias
[18:47] <khider> ActionParsnip: What do you mean by kill switch?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> khider: if its a clean install you should get updated. May help. Maybe there is a bug
[18:47] <mneptok> paco_: de nada
[18:48] <khider> ActionParsnip: It is a new install, just a few hours ago
[18:48] <strangeseraph> how do I install a .bin?
[18:48] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: lamo... well its going to be a whole lot less usefull for a noob like me :D
[18:48] <khider> ActionParsnip: I am updated, did not help : - (
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: then you can use the .bin but you won't automagically update
[18:48] <gabriel_pimentel> My connection worked fine a few days ago, now it doesnt, I have a RTL8187 chipset, I can see the network but when I try to connect It wont let me, Can somebody help me?
[18:49] <strangeseraph> will the new updates eventually go to the repository?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: there are guides around on how to use it, you basically mark it as executable and run it as user, it extracts n
[18:49] <perlDreamer> philinux: it showed me a dialog box with 6 unchecked boxes.  Then, when I continued, it showed me a default firefox browser screen
[18:49] <itsjar> hello
[18:49] <b0ot> how woudl i allow remote control of my machine in ubuntu the remote desktop preferences says i only have acces over localhost
[18:49] <perlDreamer> ActionParsnip: how do I uninstall the PPA if it doesn't change anything?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: and you symlink the plugin to your browser plugins folder
[18:49] <b0ot> i want someone to be able to get there from outside
[18:49] <philinux> perlDreamer: but do site display correctly in safe-mode
[18:49] <itsjar> I'm having some problems with a new ATI graphics card on puredyne (ubuntu based), is this the right place to ask my question

[18:49] <ActionParsnip> perlDreamer: run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:50] <strangeseraph> have no idea what that means. :/
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: find guides online on how to use it. The repo hasn't been updated yet so your java is old
[18:51] <abhijit> help
[18:51] <strangeseraph> seems like it'd be easier to wait for the repo update than fiddling with an installer. Thanks.
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> perlDreamer: simply adding the ppa doesn't do much, you have to tell the system to upgrade and it will pull down new stuff
[18:51] <terry_> abhijit: whith...?
[18:51] <nimbiotics> Since upgrading to 10.04, i've had more than a couple of issues, some of which have already been tackled. Next one i think i must address is some error messages I can see just before the graphical interface starts, but that I cannot catch. How can I catch them so I can post them here?? TIA!
[18:51] <perlDreamer> philinux: it's not a question of display, it's a question of how it interprets my input
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> strangeseraph: your call. Using that method is how to get native 64bit java rather than 32bit via nspluginwrapper
[18:52] <abhijit> terry_, getting this error while attemting to update: W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openldap/libldap-2.4-2_2.4.21-0ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb
[18:52] <itsjar> Did anyone have any experience with ATI HD 5xxx cards on ubuntu?
[18:52] <abhijit>   404  Not Found
[18:52] <perlDreamer> ActionParsnip, so to revert back to good old regular Firefox instead of new bleeding edge Firefox, I remove the ppa from the set of repos and update/upgrade again?
[18:52] <strangeseraph> I don't think I have a 64bit supported laptop? :/
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> abhijit: change your source to the main server
[18:52] <sjm> nimbiotics, try: dmesg
[18:52] <Daekdroom> perlDreamer, you have to use ppa-purge upon the PPA repo
[18:52] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, you mean from in to main?
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> perlDreamer: sure, remove ppa then reinstall the browser, you can remove firefox too then reinstall it. The settings and profile will be untouched
[18:53] <terry_> abhijit: http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openldap/libldap-2.4-2_2.4.21-0ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb says 404 not found
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> abhijit: in software sources under system -> admin
[18:53] <abhijit> terry_, yes
[18:53] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, no no. I mean do you mean change it from local server i.e. India server to main server?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> abhijit: yes, the one you are on is having issues / being updated so use a different one
[18:54] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, ok
[18:54] <Pici> terry_, abhijit: If you'd like, you can just wait.  It looks like the India mirror is a a few hours out of date.
[18:54] <abhijit> Pici, yes.
[18:54] <nimbiotics> sjm: http://pastebin.com/wDzVnvwy
[18:55] <fling> what is up with the java?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> abhijit: change to main server then run: sudo apt-get upate; sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:55] <itsjar> Guys, does anybody have any experience with  the HD 5xxx ATI graphic cards on ubuntu, if it just doesn't work I can give up and just move to an other pc I guess..
[18:55] <strangeseraph> thanks bunches anyways. :)
[18:55] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, yah ok
[18:55] <Phoenixz> Anybody knows how I can install the package wmi-client in 10.04? Supposedly hardy had it, but I cant seem to find it anywhere in 10.04. Tried google, no luck there either..
[18:55] <terry_> abhijit: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libldap-2.4-2
[18:55] <Mea> Quick question. How long would it take to "shred" a 320GB drive? Does it go sector by sector?
[18:56] <abhijit> terry_, now I changed it to main server. will look for indian server after some hours
[18:56] <fling> 32 min
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Phoenixz: could find a ppa with it on
[18:56] <fling> depnding on speed and level of shredding
[18:56] <sjm> nimbiotics, not sure what that is about, I was just helping with a way to see errors that might "disappear" when X starts up.
[18:56] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, terry_ Pici thanks :)
[18:56] <Mea> 32 mins is not too bad. So long as it doesnt take all day. Thanks fling
[18:56] <coz_> Phoenixz,  yeah I dont see that package listed for lucid at all
[18:56] <fling> an sata 320gb with 3.2ghz and 133fsb should shred it quickly
[18:57] <nimbiotics> sjm: thanks
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> Mea: depends on spindle speed , seek time and many other factors like age.
[18:57] <khider> ActionParsnip: So you think this may be a kernel error, to not detect a wifi card?
[18:57] <fling> 1333*
[18:57] <anAngel> Hello, can u tell me some free log analyzers that work with shorewall, iptables or any other network analyse program/script
[18:57] <fling> and atleast 1gb ram
[18:57] <Phoenixz> ActionParsnip: looked for PPAs, no luck there either.. its weird, its just as if it disappeared

[18:57] <ActionParsnip> khider: you may need a boot option or 2 to make it pickup. Check for ubuntu guides for your laptop. Users sometimes publish their methiods for others
[18:57] <abhijit> omg
[18:57] <Unorth> nice
[18:58] <Unorth> ...
[18:58] <Unorth> wrong window

[18:58] <fling> xD
[18:58] <Unorth> lol I know...
[18:58] <Mea> Do know all that its a year old or so Compaq with Athlon 64 and 2GB of RAM and 5400RPM. Its not that dated but it is broken so I will try to sell it to someone who can fix it
[18:58] <Unorth> trying

[18:58] <abhijit> !pm | Unorth
[18:58] <DeMolay> hi there, anyone knows how to set a permanent umask for www-data user?
[18:58] <fling> i could fix it, where u at lol
[18:58] <abhijit> Unorth, ask in #freenode
[18:58] <Mea> Im in Boston
[18:58] <Mea> Should be a bunch of MIT kids here that would want it
[18:59] <philinux> Mea: I used dd on a 120gig drive and it took a few hours.
[18:59] <fling> and the hd is fried but nothing else?
[18:59] <fling> xD
[18:59] <Mea> Uhm actually.. no the power ribbon I accidently ripped out when I opened it. because the fan stopped working correctly
[18:59] <rawrmage> Is anyone good with partitions? I accidentally made a NTFS volume think it's bigger than the partition is, but I don't know how to make the partition bigger without changing the volume like gparted wants to do.
[18:59] <fling> delete it?
[19:00] <abhijit> Unorth, /msg nickserv help set password
[19:00] <Unorth> dont worry, thanks, just done it
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> khider: update of what?
[19:00] <Unorth> lol... that was noobish :/
[19:00] <Pici> Phoenixz: It looks like wmi-client is incompatible with python2.6 and was dropped from the repositories, as discussed here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wmi/+publishinghistory
[19:00] <Unorth> anyway, thanks all, cya
[19:00] <khider> ActionParsnip: On the laptop--in terms of forum postings
[19:00] <fling> hey thre are no noobs here, we are all noobs in some fashin here
[19:00] <dury> hi there channel :)
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Mea: better than anything I have. Most of my rigs are circa 1995
[19:00] <b0ot> how does one "call out with vnc and give control" to a specific ip in ubuntu?
[19:01] <perlDreamer> ActionParsnip: PPA behaves the same way
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> khider: well, worth a shot
[19:01] <travis2_> does anyone know how to get compiz in Xubuntu 10.0
[19:01] <fling> !tremoulus
[19:01] <travis2_> 10.04
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> perlDreamer: sounds like a bug then, log a bug
[19:01] <fling> fudge
[19:01] <khider> ActionParsnip: They talk about ndiswraper and whatnot. Not much good when the wifi card is ignored.
[19:01] <abhijit> !compiz | travis2_
[19:01] <Mea> ActionParsnip: it's not a rig its a laptop.
[19:01] <Mea> ActionParsnip: though why such old hardware on your stuff?
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Mea: still a rig in my book
[19:02] <fling> rig=anything that computes
[19:02] <smallfoot-> #j Wikipedia
[19:02] <khider> ActionParsnip: I even took the trouble of getting a dlink wifi card,  does not detect that either
[19:02] <smallfoot-> sry
[19:02] <rpius> Does anyone have any idea on the progress of "windicators" for maverick? It's almost alpha3 now and still no sign of it.....
[19:02] <Mea> fling:  my TI-83 is a rig?
[19:02] <Mea> lol
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Mea: they are file / torrent / backup servers and all I do is chat and browse so I don't need a system with 8gb ram quad core @ 40Ghz. Its a waste of money on me
[19:02] <fling> my linksys wusb54gv2 works with rt2751??
[19:03] <abhijit> rpius, ask in #ubuntu+1
[19:03] <fling> lol
[19:03] <fling> action, you don't multitask? or play hd tv?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> fling: run: sudo lshw -C network ,it will tell you the chip used. The make and model is moot
[19:03] <Mea> ActionParsnip: No def a waste. Though they are still holding up. Do you torretn movies and HD content
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> fling: nope, music, chat, browse
[19:04] <fling> music and video will benefit from more then one core and hw processing definately
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Mea: I go to the ciinema for movie, bigger than any screen and the sound quality is superb
[19:04] <fling> xD
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> fling: spotify runs fine
[19:04] <fling> action-if you find the right theater
[19:04] <Mea> ActionParsnip: what about like movies that dont get released in the states? Or documentaries!
[19:04] <fling> xD
[19:04] <Pici> !ot
[19:05] <fling> ^^
[19:05] <dury> I got this error when I'm trying to boot bloody vista from grub: Error 13: Invalid unsupported executable format. how can I solve this?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Mea: I have a tv for that but its rarely used. I tend to be out and about seeing the world. I use my phone it irc . Post on freenode
[19:05] <khider> I'll give opensuse a try, I think they are optomised for HP hardware--hopefully that will detect the wifi card. Too bad, Ubuntu is usually one of the better distros for that stuff
[19:05] <hiexpo> ? i have a folder on my usb floppy that somehow got read only how can i change it back everytime i open it it looks all the others also
[19:06] <hiexpo> ^locks
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> khider: try some bootoptions. I'd also try a livecd of maverick just to test
[19:06] <ozzloy> i would like to do something like: `sudo echo "<IP_ADDRESS> a" >> /etc/hosts` but it says permission denied, so i tried `sudo ( echo "<IP_ADDRESS> a" >> /etc/hosts ) ` and it says syntax error.
[19:06] <Mea> ActionParsnip: Well, thats good., tho. At least your not cooped up. I dont see the world and stuff that much. just work, sleep, and the occasional drunkeness
[19:06] <khider> ActionParsnip: Waht is Maverick
[19:06] <terry_> khider: You will be able to do anything with Ubuntu that you could with SuSe
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | khider
[19:07] <Pici> ozzloy: sudo does not cross io redirection operators. You can do:  echo "<IP_ADDRESS> a" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Mea: I love to explore, and not with my mouse. Let's keep ontopic now :)
[19:07] <ozzloy> i want to echo something and append it to a file owned by root.  i want to do this in a script i'm writing.  i'd like to use sudo for this.
[19:07] <ozzloy> Pici, ooh, my first use of tee!
[19:07] <ozzloy> i've seen tee documented before, but didn't really get what it was for!
[19:07] <ozzloy> cool thanks!
[19:08] <Pici> ozzloy: Sure, no problem :)
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> khider: maverick is the release in october this year. It may help
[19:08] <nimbiotics> Since upgrading to 10.04, i've had more than a couple of issues, some of which have already been tackled. Next one i think i must address is some error messages I can see just before the graphical interface starts, but that I dont know what they mean. Here is what I get from dmesg (http://pastebin.com/tzXnAC86) and xorg (http://pastebin.com/uNjDwDB4)  TIA!
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> khider: but try boot options first
[19:08] <lucenut> Hey guys. How can I tell the MHz of my processor in ubuntu?
[19:08] <Mea> Alright, Thanks for your help. Gotta get back to work tho
[19:08] <Pici> lucenut: lscpu or look at /proc/cpuinfo
[19:09] <terry_> nimbiotics: What are you trying to fix?  (What is not working properly?)
[19:09] <lucenut> I'm in the system monitor and all it says is AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 4000+
[19:09] <hiexpo> i have a folder that somehow got changed to read only on my usb floppy  how do i get permission back
[19:09] <fling> how to update to ubuntustudio-rt?
[19:09] <terry_> hiexpo: sudo chmod
[19:10] <abhijit> !chown | hiexpo
[19:10] <dury> that device is in /dev/sda1
[19:10] <lucenut> Pici when I type "/proc/cpuinfo" in a terminal it says "Permission denied".
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: ok your display is detected and using 1024x768. Wassup?
[19:10] <fling> <-finally got xp back on the pc. overclocked in ubuntu? 2.8-3.2ghz? how do i confirm this?
[19:11] <abhijit> lucenut, its "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[19:11] <Pici> lucenut: Its not a command.  cat /proc/cpuinfo

[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Quiet_guy: what video chip?
[19:13] <DavidJHeinrich> hi all ,does anyone know of any light ray tracing programs for Linux? Ya know, light bouncing off a surface, angle in = angle out?
[19:13] <Phoenixz> terry_: No, Im working on an automated server monitoring system.. I need to be able to check windows servers as well, and WMI is the way to go for that..
[19:13] <ccahoon_> How do I prevent a user from changing specific attributes of their own User model, given a role? I am using cancan, but really I think there is something I can do at the model level that I haven't been able to figure out.
[19:14] <Phoenixz> terry_: but I do NOT want to do this from a windows server myself, ofcourse :)
[19:14] <fling> david i believe there is supported software called bender??
[19:14] <dury> can't lanch the win system Error 13: Invalid unsupported executable format. how can I solve this?
[19:14] <Phoenixz> DavidJHeinrich: apt-cache search raytrace
[19:14] <abhijit> dury, may you want to try in ##windows?
[19:14] <DavidJHeinrich> fling: hmmmm...I have that, but it is complicated. I don't want modeling, I want something for optics
[19:14] <gabriel_pimentel> Hi, I have a problem connecting with my wireless network in ubuntu 10.4, I have a RTL8187 chipset, this is the info from iwconfig: http://pastebin.com/ARWt5WNn and this is the info from Dmesg: http://pastebin.com/30xVnVEH Can somebody help me?

[19:16] <Phoenixz> Pici: same here, its as if it quietly died off... weird, because its very usefull..
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> If I drop off, my battery died. I'm not being ignorant
[19:17] <DavidJHeinrich> Pici: thanks, I'm getting povray... is it easy to use for 2D stuff? I just wanna figure out rays for a pyramid "cone" vs. a hyperbolic "cone"...for a soft box...to figure out which gets the most light to the front
