[11:17] <Zinger> saket__: NVIDIA driver doesn't work correctly I can't start Visual Effects
[11:18] <swine__> benonsoftware, were you talking to me ?
[11:18] <Zinger> saket__: Also I can't plug second monitor to the laptop
[11:18] <saket__> Zinger
[11:18] <nykur> Can anyone tell me how access the rest of unity global menu which is hidden under my indicators? Running natty on a netbook with low resolution.
[11:18] <saket__> have u tried installing nvidia from Synaptic?
[11:19] <benonsoftware> yeah about glossy lcd how hard it is Using it now
[11:19] <swine__> benonsoftware, wouldn't recommend it ?
[11:19] <benonsoftware> No not really
[11:19] <benonsoftware> But for games, yes
[11:19] <saket__> Zinger Try->Administration ->Hardware Drivers
[11:19] <swine__> benonsoftware, i write software mostly
[11:20] <saket__> Nvidia shud be displayed ther as a restricted driver
[11:20] <nykur> I feel I should be able to scroll it somehow
[11:20] <benonsoftware> same here (Only 12)
[11:20] <swine__> benonsoftware, what does only 12 mean ?
[11:20] <benonsoftware> Years
[11:20] <nykur> but it's not accessible at all in apps with big menus when I have a sysmonitor indicator running.
[11:20] <swine__> i'm not sure how that's relevant
[11:21] <Blou_Aap> stupid unity bar just stays open now
[11:21] <Blou_Aap> won;t hide
[11:21] <Zinger> saket__: After install Additional drivers I go to console mode. Then I delte xorg.conf file reboot and go to X mode .  I've seen /Membership
[11:21] <LjL> !language | thepentester
[11:21] <Kruptein> Prob wrong place but wxPython has some problems with unity, is this going to be solved or should I move to gtk?
[11:22] <zolamisq> What is the easiest solution when it comes to ubuntu and speech recognition software (am willing to pay for it)?
[11:22] <saket__> Zinger sounds strange
[11:23] <Zinger> saket__: Main problem  - the Additional driver doesn't work correctly on the laptop
[11:23] <LjL> zolamisq: i don't think there really is an easy solution. you can refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_in_Linux maybe
[11:23] <pksadiq> Any linux HowTO on "how to answer a question" ?
[11:23] <bullgard4> arun_mittal: I think that this is a serious error. May be you will get help in #ubuntu-kernel .
[11:23] <zolamisq> LjL I read that already
[11:24] <saket__> Zinger: u installed from Administration-Restricted Drivers?
[11:25] <nykur> What would be the appropriate place to ask Unity related questions?
[11:25] <zolamisq> LjL I read about dynaspeak but have no clue where to download or buy it
[11:25] <somethinginteres> zolamisq: it's better than it used to be apparently but the lack of a complete corpus is a problem
[11:26] <zolamisq> somethinginteres: i think about buying a phone and use dragon dictation on it
[11:27] <somethinginteres> zolamisq: it might be possible to use a Windows solution under wine or in a virtual machine
[11:27] <Zinger> saket__: "installed from Administration-Restricted Drivers?" where is the point in menu? I delete and install the drivers by apt-get or Synaptic. I made current driver and made last driver NVIDIA from site. Result false. Problem not resolved
[11:27] <zolamisq> somethinginteres: i know  just hoped to get some quick good advice from someone who uses it here
[11:28] <bullgard4> nykur: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=Unity&fullsearch=Text
[11:29] <zolamisq> somethinginteres: I don't have the money for Windows and Dragon.
[11:29] <zolamisq> somethinginteres: but as it looks you are right
[11:30] <AdvoWork> how would i link to/shortcut to a file thats over sftp?
[11:31] <nykur> bullgard4: thanks, but this link will not open.
[11:31] <bullgard4> pksadiq: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
[11:31] <Zinger> How is Specialist in video ?
[11:31] <olskolirc> oops sorry
[11:31] <bullgard4> nykur: This will take very long to open.
[11:33] <nykur> bullgard4: Just leads to an "internal server error" I'm afraid. What is the content?
[11:33] <edgars> yo
[11:33] <bullgard4> AdvoWork: sftp will transfer a file to your computer. So I do not understand your desire.
[11:34] <edgars> in what package i can find keytool?
[11:34] <somethinginteres> zolamisq: it's something I've been looking into myself. More a screen reader than for dictation though. I hope you find a solution
[11:34] <edgars> apt-cache search keytool didnt give me any result
[11:35] <bullgard4> nykur: May be the server is too busy at the moment. Try later again. It gives you hits of Ubuntu Wiki articles about Unity.
[11:35] <bullgard4> edgars: You can answer this question yourself by using packages.ubuntu.com .
[11:36] <[SpitfirE]> Hey guys
[11:37] <nykur> bullgard4: Thanks, will try to search for that. But was hoping someone knew how to solve a specific problem: Accessing the rest of unity global menu which is hidden under my indicators? Running natty on a netbook with low resolution.

[11:39] <[SpitfirE]> I havent been able to find any information on it anywhere and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it
[11:39] <neure> spitfire, is your iso image ok? try another/redownload image, is your usb stick ok, try another stick?
[11:40]  * SpitfireWP >_>

[11:42] <bullgard4> neure: I am using GNOME 2 in Natty.
[11:42] <neure> bullgard4: ive set both systems to synchronize from internet servers, yet the times differe 2 minutes
[11:43] <rileyp> anyone good with diskless here

[11:43] <Alinn> Anyone can help me?
[11:43] <bullgard4> neure: I have read before that "ive set both systems to synchronize from internet servers, yet the times differe 2 minutes" Why are you repeating that to me?
[11:44] <rileyp> time is wrong on client though timezone is set correctly
[11:44] <tyler_d> my volume control for alsa is missing anyone help?
[11:44] <ikonia> neure: first things, stop ntp on both servers
[11:44] <ikonia> neure: let me know when you're ready
[11:45] <rileyp> Can I set time on client off server
[11:45] <Alinn> Can anyone help me?
[11:45] <rileyp> as it like the tz is being applied twice
[11:45] <bullgard4> !ask | Alinn
[11:46] <rileyp> Alinn apt-get -f install forces the install so this is what breaks things
[11:46] <Alinn> bullgard4: :-ٓ

[11:46] <Belias> what do you think?
[11:46] <nykur> bullgard4: Yeah, seems nobody is, hence me asking where to direct questions. Maybe someone will pop up, surely I'm not the only one trying to run it on a netbook, which I seem to recall being where it was first introduced.
[11:47] <ceza> wow
[11:47] <ceza> linux
[11:47] <rileyp> Bellas sweet!

[11:51] <rileyp>  i cannot generate a new xorg.conf  lol why not
[11:52] <RevSpecies116> nykur: #ayatana
[11:52] <nykur> If someone here is actually using Unity and could help me with my global menu issues, that would be much appreciated:-)
[11:52] <RevSpecies116> nykur: That channel will specifically help with Unity issues
[11:52] <nykur> RevSpecies116: Many thanks!
[11:52] <traubisoda> rileyp the usual command 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' won't do anything
[11:52] <nykur> Will join and test my luck:-)
[11:52] <RevSpecies116> But, nykur, the solution will not be instantaneous
[11:53] <nykur> RevSpecies116: I know, probably not. Unless I'm very lucky;-)
[11:53] <rileyp> traubisoda:  with nvidia installed one uses sudo nvidia-xconfig
[11:53] <RevSpecies116> And may have you raising a few bug reports in Launchpad - but that channel WILL help you directly with Unity design issues
[11:53] <hiptobecubic> How can I superficially block some domain? So that going to, say, www.google.com just redirects to a broken page? Has to live through reboot / network-manager reconnect of course.
[11:54] <traubisoda> rileyp thanks i give it a try
[11:54] <balex> \quit
[11:54] <hiptobecubic> it's fine if the user can just type in the IP, it's not meant to be "secure"
[11:54] <jrib> hiptobecubic: easiest way is to use /etc/hosts
[11:54] <ceza> domwnwory about sure
[11:54] <bullgard4> '~$ apt-get update; E: Encountered a section with no Package: header' How can I fix this?
[11:55] <nykur> RevSpecies116: Like I said yesterday, I wouldn't consider this a bug, unless there really isn't a way around it.
[11:55] <wym> exit
[11:56] <nykur> But if it is truly a bug, I don't mind raising it in launchpad and wait.
[11:56] <RevSpecies116> nykur, Jono Bacon would disagree :) Speaking of Jono, #ubuntu-desktop is also a channel that will help with Unity design flaws and issues :)
[11:56] <pfifo> bacon!

[11:57] <rileyp> p3rror hdmi sound?
[11:57] <p3rror> what is it hdmi ?
[11:58] <rileyp> lol
[11:58] <RevSpecies116> hiptobecubic: That /etc/hosts method described is the EASIEST way - so simple, and I don't think restarts are required :)
[11:58] <szal> rileyp: are you confusing something here? ;)
[11:58] <p3rror> rileyp, i've sound using desktop application as vlc
[11:58] <nykur> RevSpecies116: If this is really a design flaw, I'll be sure to tell mr. Bacon about it. But I just don't feel comfortable raising bug reports on software I don't know very well and haven't tested extensively. But thanks for redirecting me, and I'll see what they say.
[11:59] <RevSpecies116> hiptobecubic: All the way back from 2004, and still good for today :) :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3407

[11:59] <delinquentme> hey all so im messing around with some JSON http://pastie.org/2034822  in this pastie i've stepped through the items im after in the top part .. the content of the "title" field .. however when i go to make a loop to get the titles .. im not getting the output im after.. basically i get the entirety of the json printed back with the loop statement on  the "problem"  heading
[11:59] <p3rror> rileyp, i don't have simply sound in flash video
[11:59] <delinquentme> so how do i update my loop statement to only return the "titles"
[12:00] <p3rror> rileyp, using firefox
[12:00] <RevSpecies116> Jono is a great guy, and even if you think it is a ;silly' question - Jono will do ALL he can to help :) And he is near the top of the Canonical food chain, too :)
[12:00] <rileyp> p3 so sound works only in things you have set an audio device in such as vlc?
[12:00] <rileyp> or do desktop sounds work
[12:00] <p3rror> rileyp, yep with vlc it's worked
[12:00] <rileyp> or do desktop sounds work
[12:00] <ceza> gnome
[12:01] <ceza> bush ,bush ,bus
[12:01] <wym> ....
[12:02] <rileyp> p3rror:  often sounds dont work in flash as no default audio device has been selected or your current default device is not the one you wish to use
[12:02] <ceza> hiponapticteria
[12:03] <nykur> RevSpecies116: I know, he's a household name in these parts, as he should. If my issue will help further Unity, I'll be glad to have helped... a little :-)
[12:03] <rileyp> this can be fixed by creating a small file called ~/.asound.rc
[12:03] <RevSpecies116> nykur, and I will thank you also - I want Unity to be perfect when 12.04LTS comes around :)
[12:03] <ceza> gnome , linux ,int
[12:04] <RevSpecies116> And if by you raising this Unity issue helps me out with 12.04LTS, I'll by you a beer if we meet :)

[12:05] <willemb> Hi.  I suddenly have no sound in ubuntu :-( .  I just rebooted after about 3 weeks of uptime.  I am convinced there were some upgrades in the mean time, and one of it could have broken it for me.  gnome-volume-control has no devices in the hardware tab any more...

[12:06] <rileyp> open alsamixer and make sure its not muted
[12:07] <rileyp> willemb: open alsamixer and make sure its not muted
[12:07] <nykur> RevSpecies116: Hehe thanks! I'm all for making things move forward, and who knows if Unity WILL be perfect, I just might add it to my main Debian box, in due time:-) But for now I'm rather pleased with it on my netbook, apart from this little annoyance. But of course we don't settle for less than perfect, then we might as well run... (finish this sentence silently;-)
[12:07] <willemb> rileyp: how would that fix 'there is no hardware listed in the hardware tab' ?
[12:08] <willemb> rileyp: unsurprising, that is not the problem, only 'beep' is muted
[12:08] <rileyp> willemb: It sees VT82xx device 0 and device 1 so you have audio devices
[12:08] <RevSpecies116>  ;)
[12:08] <rileyp> willemb:  can you select a device in alsamixer

[12:12] <willemb> rileyp: yes, the HDA VIA VT82xx is selected
[12:12] <trap24> its the most useful tool ever invented with grep
[12:12] <Co_H> Is it possible
[12:12] <szal> Co_H: huh?
[12:12] <trap24> for learners :)
[12:12] <trap24> please, i desperately want to increase my "history" command in terminal  so that it can store at least 10,000 previously typed command
[12:12] <szal> Co_H: other than that, Karmic is not supported any longer
[12:13] <RevSpecies116> Thanks rileyp :) Let's see what we can do for myspace in regards to an Ubuntu problem it is having... If it tells us what the Ubuntu problem actually is... :)
[12:13] <Co_H> szal: May be not, but is there any way to install that software without net connection
[12:13] <myspace> i haven't updated in a while RevSpecies116.  i'm afraid level 3 will ruin it.
[12:13] <rileyp> traubisoda: i just can't understand why 1440x900 can't fit in my screen perhaps it doesny get a ruler and measure up and see if the raito is correct
[12:13] <RevSpecies116> Level 3, myspace?
[12:13] <szal> Co_H: get this person a GParted live CD
[12:14] <rileyp> willemb: rileyp: yes, the HDA VIA VT82xx is selected so your using optical?

[12:15] <cjuner> Hi there. I have recently upgraded to natty and now sometimes (every third boot or so) plymouth tells me "Waiting for /home". /home is on a separate partition (on LVM). I can run a maintenance shell and mounting it manually works fine, after which the boot continues normally. What is the cause of this and how to prevent this? It's really annoying.
[12:15] <rileyp> traus measure screen and check ratio if the ratio is diffrent 1400 x 900 aint ver going to fit
[12:15] <willemb> rileyp: no, analogue
[12:15] <Co_H> szal: Well, I thought it would be awesome if that could be done from ubuntu itself
[12:16] <Co_H> Anyways thanks
[12:16] <rileyp> willemb isnt HDA high def audio meaning optical
[12:16] <traubisoda> rileyp on previous ubuntu versions it wasn't a problem, neither on kubuntu 11.04
[12:16] <willemb> aplay -l returns:
[12:16] <Gruenkohl> who knows a solution for my sound-problem (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/621653/)?
[12:16] <willemb> card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 0: ALC861-VD Analog [ALC861-VD Analog]
[12:17] <willemb> and a digital equivalent
[12:17] <szal> Co_H: then get that machine hooked up on the 'net & upgrade it to Lucid or newer, then you'll be able to install gparted fine
[12:17] <willemb> however, the gnome-volume-control tool returns only a null driver
[12:17] <traubisoda> rileyp what i strange, that in the monitor section the resolution is 1440x900, but in nvidia conf there is no option for 1400x900
[12:17] <ceza> your frien on bord
[12:17] <willemb> sorry, an emptry list, but the pulseaudio one returns null
[12:17] <myspace> szal: where'd you get that from?  Lucid?
[12:17] <traubisoda> rileyp however i added in xorg.conf
[12:17] <cjuner> If I want to report a bug regarding this - for which package should I report this?
[12:17] <ceza> no have
[12:17] <rileyp> willemb I dont know much about audio perhaps the alsa channel?
[12:17] <trap24> trap24: checkout ~/.bashrc, it has this limit setting in HISTSIZE=1000, change it & remember to change the file size as well ;)

[12:36] <cjuner> Hi there. I have recently upgraded to natty and now sometimes (every third boot or so) plymouth tells me "Waiting for /home". /home is on a separate partition (on LVM). I can run a maintenance shell and mounting it manually works fine, after which the boot continues normally. What is the cause of this and how to prevent this? It's really annoying.
[12:36] <bullgard4> hellyeah: There is.

[12:36] <auk> i'm trying to get virtualization working on ubuntu 11.04, i ran the egrep command that's supposed to say if your cpu supports hardware virtualization...
[12:36] <Dummy> pardon?
[12:36] <szal> migunite: stop making senseless comments please
[12:36] <migunite> i'm being humble.
[12:37] <auk> it showed nothing, indication that my cpu doesn't. where do i go from here? the tutorial says to "stop here"
[12:37] <migunite> talk to the hand szal.
[12:37] <tdn> I have an image of a (mac) disk that uses GPT. How do I mount one of the partions on this? I have installed gdisk and can list the partitions on the image. I would actually like to extract an image of one of the partitions. How to do that?
[12:37] <auk> (but i can get software virtualization working anyway no?)
[12:38] <kenty22> please help, when I login the screen blinks black, and then reverts back to login screen. I have tried to xorg fixes, but none of them worked. I even pasted X11 folder from a working install of the same version of ubuntu, and it is still happening. Ubuntu 10.04.   in tty7 console it also shows "Home directory /etc/timidity not ours"
[12:38] <szal> auk: use VirtualBox ;)
[12:39] <migunite> ubuntu could be useless for so many reasons.
[12:39] <szal> kenty22: look for errors ("(EE)") in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and/or the logfile for your display manager
[12:39] <RevSpecies116> Fortunately, Ubuntu is FAR from useless, migunite
[12:40] <kenty22> szal:  there are none
[12:40] <szal> kenty22: you gotta be kidding
[12:40] <kenty22> szal:  nope, I tried it, and there are no errors whatsoever, the file iss not even updated
[12:40] <szal> kenty22: ah, that you mean
[12:41] <kenty22> szal:  I.e.  deleted all of the contents of the log file, and did the same attempt again, and the logfile is still empty
[12:41] <linux4ever> Hi
[12:41] <migunite> RevSpecies116: i get the point that there apps and programs but none to pick.
[12:41] <auk> szal, thanks downloading now
[12:42] <kenty22> szal: I also tried purging nvidia and installing it afreash, but I am not sure if that worked
[12:42] <linux4ever> I have a probelm with the power management of my Dell Studio 17". More informations here (translated from the German forum): http://is.gd/AR902f
[12:42] <linux4ever> Would be great, if someone coul help me.
[12:42] <szal> kenty22: did you run nvidia-xconfig after installing driver and before rebooting?
[12:43] <kenty22> szal: I did try that, it doesnt chang anything, although it does create xorg.conf file
[12:43] <kenty22> szal: as I said before, I made a separate 10.04 install on the same computer on a different partition, and copied the whole X11 folder
[12:43] <arun_mittal> i have a .Private directory set at my home. How can i access that my home directory ??
[12:43] <kenty22> szal: with no effect, the freshly installed 10.04 works, but the old 10.04 doesnt
[12:44] <RevSpecies116> Do you have an Ubuntu support issue we can help you with, migunite?
[12:44] <RevSpecies116> even when you goto it in nautilus, arun_mittal ? ie '/home/yourusername/Desktop/' ? [sorry, got the first one wrong]
[12:44] <migunite> lame.
[12:45] <arun_mittal> RevSpecies116, yes
[12:45] <RevSpecies116> I can't help you with MP3 encoding, migunite - perhaps you need another channel for that!
[12:45] <__goo__> Hi, I am running ubuntu 10.10 , and suddenly on rebooting i get an initramfs prompt - the partition is also no mounting on another OS - what can I do??
[12:46] <szal> RevSpecies116: obviously he doesn't and just issues random comments
[12:46] <bullgard4> linux4ever: 1.) Read 'man s2disk', in particular »resume«.
[12:46] <kenty22> szal: anything else  i could do?
[12:46] <szal> __goo__: please be as specific as possible
[12:46] <RevSpecies116> szal, most likely migunite is a prankster, and really needs to leave the channel
[12:47] <linux4ever> bullgard4: What? *confused*
[12:48] <__goo__> szal: when ubuntu loads, it shows as "Busy Box v x.x" and I get an initramfs prompt instead of loading the X server
[12:49] <x_> adax
[12:49] <bullgard4> linux4ever: 2.) Analyze /var/log/pm-powersave.log and  /var/log/pm-powersave.log.1 .
[12:49] <x_> hi
[12:49] <auk> hmm... i think i misunderstand what virtualization can serve as.... i want to boot an already-installed operating system (fedora 15 64bit, on the same drive as ubuntu) within ubuntu... as opposed to install fedora into the virtualization sandbox
[12:49] <auk> is this possible?
[12:49] <bullgard4> linux4ever: You should tell me precisely why you are confused.
[12:53] <jburkholder> anyone awake?
[12:53] <bullgard4> __go__ Why should "the partition mount on another OS"?
[12:53] <migunite> jburkholder: i am.
[12:54] <migunite> heh.
[12:54] <jburkholder> do you need help with your ubuntu?
[12:54] <bullgard4> '~$ apt-get update; E: Encountered a section with no Package: header' How can I fix this?
[12:55] <migunite> aww... the blues.
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[12:56] <BlessJah> i have run out of space on my home, but i've created bigger partition
[12:56] <szal> bullgard4: tried "apt-get -f update"?
[12:56] <BlessJah> how can i copy whole /home/* with preserving owners mods etc etc?

[12:56] <Ileden> Hi! I'm installing Ubuntu as dualboot on a new computer. I decided to partition manually, and stared by reducing the 300GB ntfs partition down to 75. However, as I confirmed this action, I now only get a system "stuck" at busy (for like 15 mins already). How long should this operation take? Should there be a progress bar (that is, is the system really stuck)?
[12:57] <Guest10220> Can I get a list of installed packages on my system sorted by size? (btw I need to do this via ssh)
[12:57] <mib3716> BlessJah: cp -a ...
[12:57] <szal> Ileden: shrinking filesystems takes a looooooooooooooooong time..  and success isn't guaranteed
[12:57] <Ileden> .... right, never mind. it just completed :D
[12:57] <BlessJah> mib3716: thanks
[12:58] <BluesKaj> Ileden, resizing partitions can take hrs , dependong on how much data has tobe moved and the size difference
[12:58] <Ileden> a progress bar would've been veruy nice. :/
[12:59] <BluesKaj> Ileden, that's why I use gparted livecd as my partition editor
[12:59] <matt2s> The Unity Dock, the new thing with all the shortcuts on it, is not hiding any more. How can I get it to hide?
[12:59] <Ileden> BluesKaj: yeah retrospectively that woudld've been a good idea.
[12:59] <bullgard4> szal: I just tried "apt-get -f update". No change.
[13:00] <Ileden> BluesKaj: how does this one with the installer work with logical partitions? Do i first create a logical container, and then partitions inside it?
[13:00] <auk> matt2s, you'll find a setting in the Ubuntu Unity Plugin entry in the compizconfig editor
[13:00] <matt2s> auk: It is set to autohide
[13:00] <hungryhubby> apt-get install -f
[13:01] <matt2s> auk: It just happens randomly. Right now it went away again, but after 4+ hours of staying on top of everything
[13:01] <llutz> bullgard4: just remove all lists, and get them new using "sudo apt-get update"
[13:01] <auk> matt2s, ouch i have never encountered that problem sorry
[13:01] <matt2s> auk: thanks for trying!
[13:01] <bullgard4> llutz: What lists do you speak about?
[13:02] <llutz> bullgard4: /var/lib/apt/lists/*
[13:02] <gnaruag> all of my system ports are closed ,  transmission is not able to download , how to open the ports ?
[13:02] <Ileden> How much is enough for space for a swap partition these days?
[13:02] <gnaruag> Ileden, double the RAM
[13:02] <gnaruag> size
[13:02] <migunite> how do i find out the size of my partitions?
[13:02] <szal> Ileden: depends on whether you suspend-to-disk or not
[13:03] <gnaruag> migunite, download G-parted
[13:03] <hungryhubby> migunite: fdisk -h
[13:03] <szal> migunite: df -h
[13:03] <hungryhubby> migunite: fdisk -h /dev/sda
[13:03] <bullgard4> llutz: And your recipe "just remove all lists /var/lib/apt/lists/* " is not dangerous?
[13:03] <gnaruag> all of my system ports are closed ,  transmission is not able to download , how to open the ports ?
[13:03] <szal> Ileden: but in general, 1.5-2 times your installed RAM size should do
[13:03] <llutz> bullgard4: to be on the safe side, back them up before
[13:04] <szal> isn't there an "apt-clean" command or something?
[13:04] <Ileden> szal, gnaruag: ok, thanks.
[13:04] <gnaruag> :)
[13:04] <gnaruag> anybody help !
[13:04] <szal> Ileden: if you're absolutely sure you'll never suspend, you can even do without swap
[13:05] <migunite> i'm amazed.
[13:05] <linux4ever> bullgard4: brb
[13:05] <szal> Ileden: though that's not exactly recommended ;)
[13:05] <hungryhubby> yeah right its df -h shows you mounted volumes space
[13:05] <sipior> szal: that's inadvisable, as you'll end up wasting ram on memory reservations that aren't actually used.
[13:05] <BluesKaj> Ileden, I beleive the partitioner determines the logical partitions within a primary depending on the the use ,for / and /home and swap for example
[13:05] <Ileden> .... uh, and what on earth should I do when "create partition" dialog just hangs? buttons don't do anything anymore...
[13:06] <spass> Ileden: make a coffe
[13:06] <sdf_scp> Hello, i'm a new ubuntu user, and i have a problem with the program winscp. i can't rewrite a file oder copy a new file onto the ubuntu desktop from my windows pc. what should i do? i login with the admin account (and yes, in the ubuntu he's in the admin-group.
[13:06] <Ileden> spass: haha, no, there is no operation being run right now. and no disk activity.
[13:07] <spass> sdf_scp: check if that user has permission to do that
[13:07] <Ileden> erp. partitioning is NOT a good time for the system to become unresponsive.
[13:07] <Nitration> when i try to transfer a song from rhythmbox to my ipod it says Error cannot right resource:
[13:07] <sdf_scp> @spass how can i check this?
[13:07] <hotmedal> Halp: If the notebook's wireless button is off before Ubuntu starts, it hangs during startup. Starts fine if I choose the older kernel from grub, but the wireless doesn't work then.
[13:07] <Nitration> anyone know how to fix tht
[13:08] <hotmedal> sudo rhythmbox?
[13:08] <rubik> hello
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> hotmedal:  see if you can write anything to the ipod.. it may be mounted read only, or just with wrong permissions
[13:08] <Ileden> Damn. I can move windows around, resize, switch focus. but nothing happens from the buttons! I didn't even click on anything, it just happened...
[13:08] <spass> sdf_scp: admin group or not, it's some user's home directory. Log in with this users login:password to winscp and then try.
[13:09] <hotmedal> Dr_Willis : wrong guy, I asked a different question
[13:09] <BluesKaj> Ileden, it could be reading the partition data to determine where to place the data that's to be moved ...partitioning is indeed a slow process
[13:09] <sdf_scp> i login with the administrator account, and this account is in the root-group
[13:09] <Ileden> BluesKaj: no, the move operation was completed already.
[13:09] <tolmun> Searching PPA for vim 7.3 on 10.04 with all features?
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> tolmun:  theres a ppa search tool  I recall. but not used in some time.
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> !info ppasearch
[13:10] <Ileden> BluesKaj: and I already created two new partitions into that space (/ and /home). but trying to create a third for swap, the system just hanged into the dialog!
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> may not be in the default repos :(
[13:10] <spass> sdf_scp: admin:root ?
[13:10] <BluesKaj> then it's busy setting up the resize , Ileden ..it also takes time
[13:10] <coz_> tolmun,   its calle   y-ppa-manager
[13:11] <coz_> tolmun,     https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/y-ppa-manager
[13:11] <Ileden> BluesKaj: no, I don't think so. there's no hd activity, and i already completed some operations after the long resize.
[13:12] <Ileden> augh, I guess I'll just reboot and hope the partition table is intact. well it's a new computer anyway, so not that much loss in case of failure...
[13:12] <sdf_scp> @spass yes, or shoul i change it back to administrators group?
[13:13] <spass> i guess only root:root or owner of this home directory would have enough perms.
[13:13] <Ileden> phew at least the power button managed to force a soft shutdown...
[13:14] <spass> Ileden: you would drink this coffe by now :)
[13:14] <sdf_scp> @spass i have no root account
[13:14] <spass> you have... just no password on it i guess
[13:14] <spass> for security reasons
[13:15] <barberan> =)
[13:15] <sdf_scp> but when i look in the usermanagmeent, there is no root account
[13:15] <Ileden> spass: ha, im already jittery enough because of these partitioning troubles...
[13:15] <spass> sdf_scp: check /etc/passwd file

[13:17] <sdf_scp> how can i generate a password for the root acc?
[13:17] <hotmedal> lol Help me then
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> sdf_scp:  normally you just use sudo as needed to get root access. You dont directly login as root.
[13:17] <bullgard4> llutz: Your recipe "just remove all lists /var/lib/apt/lists/* " worked: I have no longer error messages with apt-get update, Synaptic and Update Manager. --  Thank you! --  Where did you know from that this would help?

[13:38] <osmosis_paul> llutz, i dont want fuck up and break all ssh access into system
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> do it from a local box. and test it first. :)
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> or ssh in, do the changes, keep that session going. and then test it..
[13:39] <llutz> osmosis_paul: for testing, setup a cron-job resetting hosts.allow after 15 Minutes.
[13:39] <sipior> osmosis_paul: or just ensure that you have a ssh connection open to the test host at all times...
[13:39] <bullgard4> linux4ever: Did you understand what I wrote to you?
[13:39] <llutz> osmosis_paul: just don't forget to remove it, if files work
[13:39] <osmosis_paul> llutz, good idea

[13:51] <faLUCE>  hi. I have a continous bytestream which I capture with curl http://mystream. Sometime, the stream has this sequence of characters: "rrrr" . How can I catch it? If I use:  curl http://mystream | grep "rrrr" it doesn't work, since grep expects a newline, but the bytestream doesn't have newlines.....
[13:52] <valleydaddy78> i have a merglist parding problem can anyone help
[13:52] <gohdan> i have 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' and even tried  'DISPLAY=:0.0 xeyes' to no avail. any help or tips would be most appreciated

[13:53] <cba123> Whenever I hit tab on 11.04, I have to manually correct auto-completion with spaces when launching custom scripts.  On 10.10, I didn't.  Example, if I hit tab with "sh foo" I get "sh foo bar" not "sh foo\ bar" any ideas how I can fix that?

[13:54] <Xano> I'm trying to VNC into my 11.04 box from a Leopard machine. Even though the Ubuntu box appears in JollysFastVNC and Finder on my Mac, it seems unable to connect
[13:54] <Xano> I tried Ubuntu's built-in Remote Desktop and x11vnc, but neither worked
[13:54] <valleydaddy78> E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists
[13:54] <riktking> Xano: have you set it up to auto accept connections
[13:55] <Xano> I'm not really sure if I can give you any more info. Just ask
[13:55] <Xano> riktking: let me check

[13:55] <Guest21320> Yesterday I accidentally hit the Touchpad Off button, and then I turned the touchpad back on and it was acting strange (moved slow and choppy) so I rebooted, and now it doesn't work at all, but it works in Windows.  Help!
[13:56] <riktking> Xano: also check if you need to enter a password
[13:57] <Xano> riktking: The option to auto accept was unchecked. Trying again now. I do have a password configured, but I was never even prompted for one
[13:58] <gnaruag>  all of my system ports are closed ,  transmission is not able to download , how to open the ports ?
[13:58] <szal> valleydaddy78: remove /var/lib/apt/lists/*, then run apt-get update
[13:58] <gnaruag> valleydaddy78, any idea ?
[13:59] <valleydaddy78> szal where do i find the list
[13:59] <Xano> riktking: Auto accepting new connections did the trick. Thank you!
[13:59] <szal> valleydaddy78: what list?
[13:59] <riktking> Xano: your welcome, have fun stay safe!
[13:59] <ixi> anyone know how to hide mysqld version revealed by nmap (-sV option)? the output is like (version column) "mysql 5.1.54-1ubuntu4" - I'd like to get only the "mysql" string there.
[13:59]  * Xano is now going to try and set up Synergy
[13:59] <valleydaddy78> szal the one your saying to remove
[14:00] <szal> valleydaddy78: you find it exactly where I said
[14:00] <riktking> Xano: i have tried that between windows boxes and had a nightmare, was with Win 7 and vista tho so maybe not the the best set up :D
[14:00] <cablop> i had to change moptherboards, but i keep the same graphic card, but for some reason it is not being recognized, what should i do?
[14:00] <inktri1> i've got a laptop with an ati card. is it possible, upon connecting to a higher resolution monitor, to have catalyst disable my laptop screen and adjust resolution to match my external monitor?
[14:00] <Xano> riktking: I just tried with quicksynergy, but that's very badly designed UI
[14:01] <Xano> riktking: Maybe you can clarify something for me: which box is the server and which one is the client in Synergy?
[14:01] <valleydaddy78> szal i dont know how
[14:01] <Garagoth> Hello.
[14:01] <Xano> riktking: I thought the one you want to control remotely is the server and you need to use the "Share" pane in Quicksynergy. Somewhere I read it's the other way around
[14:02] <riktking> Xano: the server is the one you want to control from, client connects to this
[14:02] <riktking> i think
[14:02] <Garagoth> Guys, I have a problem... I need to compile OpenCV 2.2 and highgui needs linux/videodev.h. It was in linux-libc-dev in pre-natty, but it is not there in natty
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> You sit at the server.. and controll the clients.. i think. :)
[14:02] <szal> valleydaddy78: so you're telling us you can use apt on the terminal but not delete a file or directory?
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Synergy is so handy.. but can be a bit tricky to get going.
[14:03] <Xano> riktking: Okay, I'll tinker a bit more then. thanks
[14:03] <doxin> how does one disable previews in nautilus?
[14:03] <riktking> Xano: by the looks of it Dr_Willis knows WAAYY More about it than me
[14:03] <Garagoth> Anyone knows how to get linux/videodev.h in Natty?
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> All i learned is from reading the syngery doc and playing with it a lot last year.
[14:04] <jrib> doxin: it's an option in nautilus' settings
[14:04] <doxin> hm
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> I learned you DONT ssh in, and start the syngery client if you got X forwarding enabled.. that really confuses things.  :)
[14:04] <valleydaddy78> szal no im telling you i dont want to delete the wrong thing and be up shits creek lol
[14:05] <szal> valleydaddy78: we've had success doing this in here just an hour before you asked

[14:06] <valleydaddy78> szal so what exactly are we deleting here
[14:06] <szal> valleydaddy78: exactly what I said
[14:06] <jrib> doxin: don't know (don't think so though).  There are restrictions on max file size iirc
[14:06] <cablop> hey guys, my agp was working before, now it is not being recognized... what can i do?
[14:06] <jrib> cablop: be less vague
[14:06] <inashdeen> hi, anyone, is it possible to install mac's imovie on ubuntu and why???

[14:06] <doxin> jrib: thats not really any good in a folder with a couple thousand small files tho :P
[14:07] <szal> valleydaddy78: the content of /var/lib/apt/lists/, but not the dir itself
[14:07] <phiV> hey, how can I run emacs on terminal? Everytime I execute emacs it opens an separate emacs window instead.

[14:08] <Xano> Dr_Willis: What forwarding?
[14:08] <szal> !fhs | valleydaddy78
[14:08] <jrib> !permissions | deployment
[14:08] <sipior> phiV: emacs -nw, if i remember correctly.
[14:09] <phiV> sipior: do I have to do that every time? Is there a way I can set it to always only open in terminal?
[14:09] <deployment> Can someone guide me on how to use ubuntu file permissons as i'm finding it a pain.. - I have an example I wish to discuss
[14:09] <jrib> deployment: read ubottus' link
[14:09] <valleydaddy78> szal so your telling me to pay some one to do it for me
[14:10] <cablop> jrib i was being less vage and got no help
[14:10] <sipior> phiV: you could create an alias for "emacs -nw", if you really want to. alias emacs="emacs -nw"
[14:10] <deployment> jrib: indeed but i need more like sub/sub folders
[14:10] <jrib> deployment: ask a specific question
[14:10] <phiV> sipior: k :\
[14:10] <szal> valleydaddy78: no, I'm telling you to read up on basic concepts
[14:10] <dark_echo> hey
[14:10] <pr0ton_> hello
[14:10] <csaax> hej i need help..
[14:10] <pr0ton_> does anybody know of a local 'Dropbox' solution?
[14:10] <jrib> cablop: "my agp was working before, now it is not being recognized" is too vague.
[14:10] <pr0ton_> i know rsync does something of that sort
[14:10] <celthunder> pr0ton_: unison
[14:11] <dark_echo> i' ve got a keyboard problem and i' m usıng 11.04
[14:11] <pr0ton_> celthunder, thanks
[14:11] <pr0ton_> i'll check it
[14:11] <valleydaddy78> szal naw im good i just need exact files to delete
[14:11] <cablop> jrib i said my problem before and got no help, then i tried being more general in the sentence you quoted
[14:11] <jrib> cablop: k.
[14:11] <szal> valleydaddy78: how can it get more exact than what I gave you?
[14:11] <sipior> pr0ton_: there's "sparkleshare", but that's still in beta at the moment.
[14:11] <dark_echo> my keyboard currently has Turkısh layout and i'm not able to press the less than and greater than symbols
[14:11] <cablop> jrib anyway, my problem is i changed the motherboard, but i plugged the same AGP card on it,and moved same disk, but it is not recognizing the AGP
[14:12] <cablop> jrib i have video, but no graphic acceleration
[14:12] <dark_echo> mykeyboard is a4tech kl-23
[14:12] <deployment> jrib: OK I have a folder /images and inside are two sub folders and inside them is a sub folder each.. I want to push the permissons from the root /images folder to effect all files and folders below it.  When i set in the permissons tab it only does one level..
[14:12] <dark_echo> is this a some ısort of driver problem ?
[14:12] <celthunder> deployment: chown -R
[14:12] <jrib> dark_echo: check the "apply recursively" option
[14:12] <valleydaddy78> szal because it starts a var and ends at lists and some where in there is what i need to delete and i aint good at huntuing
[14:13] <jrib> deployment: make sure this isn't some system directory as you will likely break things
[14:13] <jrib> deployment: check the "apply recursively" option
[14:13] <szal> valleydaddy78: again, read up on the concept of files and directories in *nix..  what I gave you is not a guessing game, it's an exact path
[14:14] <MagicJ> I am getting th message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". - what do I need to fix?
[14:14] <celthunder> dark_echo: does xev see the keys?
[14:14] <szal> dark_echo: FGĞIOD or QWERTY?
[14:14] <dark_echo> jrib: where is that option ? at keyboard preferences ?
[14:14] <deployment> jrib: is not system folder.. where is apply recursively?
[14:14] <celthunder> MagicJ: mesa?
[14:14] <blueprin1> ANYONE who can help me? I can't connect my "ASUS Eee 901" with "Ubuntu 11.04 Server" to my WLAN with WPA2-encryption... I have googled a lot but can't fint a working sollution... Please PM me
[14:14] <deployment> jrib: on ubuntu 10.4 LTS
[14:14] <valleydaddy78> szal so i just delete the list folder
[14:14] <dark_echo> szal: qwerty
[14:14] <szal> valleydaddy78: no, you delete its content
[14:14] <valleydaddy78> szal cause thats where the path ends
[14:15] <celthunder> blueprin1: what wireless chipset does the eee 901 have
[14:15] <valleydaddy78> ok
[14:15] <valleydaddy78> szal ok
[14:15] <szal> dark_echo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/KB_Turkey.svg/400px-KB_Turkey.svg.png
[14:15] <blueprin1> celthunder: how do i check that?
[14:15] <celthunder> blueprin1: lspci is a good start
[14:16] <cablop> how can i force ubuntu to rerecognize my hardware?
[14:16] <dark_echo> szal: i have less than and greater than symbols a left to the Z symbol
[14:16] <gohdan> cablop: hit it with a really big stick
[14:16] <celthunder> cablop: ? load the required kernel modules?
[14:17] <celthunder> or as gohan so nicely said bash it with a stick
[14:17] <cablop> celthunder: how to?
[14:17] <if124> cablop: try dmesg | grep -i agp .
[14:17] <dark_echo> i mean the layout is shift then lt gt symbols then z symbol from left to right
[14:17] <if124> w/out the dot
[14:17] <blueprin1> celthunder: is this correct: 01:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2860
[14:17] <valleydaddy78> szal it wont let me move to trash
[14:17] <cablop> if124: ok going to test
[14:17] <szal> dark_echo: apparently that key doesn't exist on a standard Turkish QWERTY keyboard
[14:18] <celthunder> blueprin1: ok do you have the ralink modules loaded (should work pretty much out of box with most generic kernels)
[14:18] <blueprin1> celthunder: i can se wlan0 when i type ifconfig -a
[14:18] <deployment> jrib: is not system folder.. where is apply recursively?
[14:18] <deployment> jrib: on ubuntu 10.4 LTS
[14:18] <celthunder> blueprin1: ok and does the card support wpa2 in linux?
[14:18] <dark_echo> szal: actually the lt and gt symbols are exactly the same place in any other turkish keyboards i have used so far
[14:19] <Dommer> forums.2kgames.com/showthread.php?33149-Mafia-3

[14:21] <Dr_Willis> jayer89:  you may need to reinstall the nvidia drivers and/or run the nvidia-settings tool to set teh proper res.
[14:21] <szal> valleydaddy78: http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0050.php#rm
[14:21] <celthunder> blueprin1: lol ok you just answered a few i think as i was talking
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> dark_echo:  what kind of keyboard you have that needs drivers?
[14:21] <celthunder> valleydaddy78: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/list
[14:21] <cablop> if124 well three lines but no error messages there
[14:22] <blueprin1> celthunder: i have wpa_supplicant installed and I'm trying to connect using the terminal

[14:22] <valleydaddy78> celthunder thanks that sounds more practical
[14:22] <riktking> how do i find out the CPU type from the command line?
[14:23] <celthunder> blueprin1: http://blog.sudonetworks.com/2010/03/configuring-wpawpa2-on-linux-clients.html
[14:23] <Pici> riktking: cat /proc/cpuinfo or lscpu

[14:23] <celthunder> er
[14:23] <jayer89> i have tried that Dr willis but it wont allow me to change it
[14:23] <dark_echo> Dr_Willis: its a sandard keyboard comes with a pc
[14:23] <cablop> if124 ok, give me a second that's another computer
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> dark_echo:  cant say ive ever seen a keyboard under linx that needed drivers. o ther then to enable any special featuures. Like on my G15
[14:23] <dark_echo> Dr_Willis: * standard
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> dark_echo:  so i dont understand why you think you need drivers.
[14:23] <celthunder> dark_echo: you can bind the nonworking keys with xmodmap?
[14:24] <vortex> hey guyys is it possible to remove Unity in Ubuntu 11.04?
[14:24] <celthunder> vortex: apt-get remove unity?
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> vortex:  ive heard its possible.. ive also heard it can break things.
[14:24] <szal> valleydaddy78: it's spoonfeeding..  give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day - teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime
[14:24] <riktking> vortex: log out and log in with ubuntu classic
[14:24] <valleydaddy78> celthunder cannot remove `/var/lib/apt/list': No such file or directory
[14:24] <jennie> ii  mm  ggeettiinngg  ddoouubbllee  iinn  uubbuunnttuu  nnoott  iinn  wwiinnddoowwss??  hheellpp  ??  ??
[14:24] <blueprin1> celthunder: i'll try that and get back to yopu if it doesn't work :)
[14:24] <matyy> Hey, I read that libreoffice 3.4 has unity/global menu integration, I installed it / also that extra deb for menu integration - but it is not integrated. Do I have to set anything? I can't find anything …
[14:24] <vortex> riktking there is a ubuntu classic mode?
[14:24] <dark_echo> Dr_Willis:  i explained at above it is a turkish qwerty keyboard and i can' t be able to press the less tah  and greater than symbols
[14:25] <llutz> valleydaddy78: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
[14:25] <cablop> if124 http://paste.ubuntu.com/621756/
[14:25] <celthunder> valleydaddy78: then think about the output as szal mentioned...you seem to be incapable of thinking for yourself
[14:25] <valleydaddy78> szal im a omnivore

[14:25] <Dr_Willis> dark_echo:  sounds like you need to set  the proper language/keyboard map in the settings. Not look for drivers
[14:25] <riktking> vortex: yeah if you choose the log out option you can you can log in with ubuntu classic
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> dark_echo:  ive onluy used USA keyboards. so thats all i can suggezst. good luck
[14:25] <dark_echo> Dr_Willis: i already set it to Turkish layout
[14:25] <vortex> thanks riktking. Do you prefer gnome or unity?
[14:25] <riktking> is there a way to change from i386 to x64 easily or is it a re-install?
[14:25] <dark_echo> Dr_Willis: thanks anyway

[14:26] <jayer89> ive just gone into additional drivers and the selected driver says this driver is activated but not currently in use
[14:26] <riktking> vortex: i have started to get into unity, it takes some getting used to but i <3 it now
[14:26] <valleydaddy78> celthunder sorry if im alot slow
[14:26] <dark_echo> another idea ?
[14:26] <riktking> vortex: i have even put the task bar on my win7 on the left so i go to the right place automagically
[14:26] <cablop> jennie i don't remember the command or steps, but it is something related with the way xorg is managing your input timing, go and fix it
[14:26] <valleydaddy78> celthunder cause i actually am
[14:27] <cablop> if124 they seem pretty normal, right?
[14:27] <vortex> riktking can you run AWN on Unity or do u need gnome?
[14:27] <Pici> valleydaddy78: Take a look a the command that llutz suggested.
[14:27] <if124> cablop: yes, but i have never installed any kind of linux in a pc with agp ports.
[14:27] <riktking> vortex: i dont know about that sorry
[14:27] <if124> cablop: i don't know what it should look like.
[14:28] <cablop> if124: the weird thing is it was working before, i just switched the board because the old was failing
[14:28] <cablop> if124: i see..
[14:29] <valleydaddy78> pici now it changed and said that it cant rm because it is a directory
[14:29] <darkbrand> usermod is not working properly, executing this as root from / adds the user to the specified groups but a home directory is not created: # usermod -md /home/tux1/ -G audio,cdrom,video,lpadmin tux1     Any idea what went wrong?
[14:31] <gohdan> valleydaddy78: 'rm -rf'
[14:32] <llutz> darkbrand: why -md?
[14:32] <coachz> hi
[14:32] <llutz> gohdan: no
[14:32] <coachz> is java runtime included in ubuntu 11 ?
[14:32] <gohdan> llutz: oh
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> coachz:  I dont think so.
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> coachz:  not by default at least.
[14:32] <_serial_> you can install it with ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:32] <darkbrand> llutz: apparently it creates skelton files in the new directory?! i didn't work with -d only either
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> coachz:  theres a check box at install that I think can auto-download/install it.
[14:32] <llutz> gohdan: he should remove the files from that dir, not any dirs
[14:33] <coachz> Dr_Willis,  what's the easiest way for me to install it on a pc that already has 11
[14:33] <gohdan> llutz: sorry. didnt catch the scroll back
[14:33] <llutz> darkbrand: -md    moves an existing home-dir, but i can't tell why -d dir   doesn't work, sry
[14:33] <_serial_> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> coachz:  see what _serial_  said.
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> That will install the iced-tea version of java i belive. coachz
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> !java
[14:34] <_serial_> it is
[14:34] <darkbrand> llutz: nevermind
[14:34] <coachz> what's an iced_tea version,  don't I want the one from sun ?
[14:34] <_serial_> its oracle now
[14:34] <llutz> darkbrand: aeh, you're sure, you don't want to use useradd?
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> coachz:  if you NEED the one from sun.. you enable the right repo.. ive had no issues with the GPL/icedtea version
[14:34] <_serial_> but the packages start with sun-java6-jre if your wanting the runtime only
[14:35] <coachz> cool, thanks
[14:35] <_serial_> openjdk is pretty good too
[14:35] <jayer89> hi
[14:35] <doxin> is there a file browser around that can handle a shitload of files+previews properly? nautilus is just too slow.
[14:35] <darkbrand> llutz: I already created a new user. Anyway, deleted it and tried with useradd and still not working
[14:35] <coachz> my neighbors have a 16 and 14 year old who have pcs with windows that are both filled with viruses
[14:35] <fellipe> hi everyone. I've made a rbash account and editted .profile and changed $PATH to $HOME only. then I've copied /bin/su into this home to just allow this jailed user to run su command. but when I try to su to another account, it seems the password is incorrect, but logging from ssh it's ok. can aynone help?
[14:35] <coachz> so i put ubuntu on both and they are now trying to learn :-)
[14:36] <darkbrand> Oh and btw, I tried adduser but I kept getting syntax errors
[14:36] <coachz> of course they think pcs are only for games so they want java so they can play
[14:36] <tyler_d> k so you know the bar that pops out on the right hand side. how do I pick which monitor that thing is on? I want it on my temp desk monitor on the lhs of my laptop?
[14:36] <llutz> darkbrand: if the user doesn't exit, this should do as you want: sudo useradd -md /home/tux1/ -G audio,cdrom,video,lpadmin tux1
[14:36] <tyreza> hello there
[14:36] <tyreza> how to perform a complete hardware check on a server ?
[14:36] <valleydaddy78> *is going to do a reinstall and hope for the best
[14:37] <valleydaddy78> dueces
[14:37] <llutz> valleydaddy78: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*                     type this exactly or copy paste it
[14:37] <tyler_d> second to this, how do I get alsa sound controls to show in the panel; gnome-volume-control simply comes up and says its waiting for the server(some pulseaudio garbage) and since I have removed all pulse that won't work
[14:37] <blueprin1> celthunder: when I type "wpa_passphrase MYWLAN" it does not do anything, do you know why?
[14:37] <darkbrand> llutz: id tux1: uid=1001(tux1) gid=1002(tux1) groups=1002(tux1),24(cdrom),29(audio),44(video),112(lpadmin)
[14:37] <celthunder> Blueprin1 does it just go to the next line? if yes in linux that generally means it worked
[14:38] <gohdan> hello gang, i have logged in locally via 'su -l foo' and am trying to have xeyes run in my X session as user 'foo'. when i execute xeyes the shell complains with the following: "No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0". i have 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' and even tried  'DISPLAY=:0.0 xeyes' to no avail. any help or tips would be most appreciated.
[14:38] <llutz> darkbrand: did it create the home-dir?
[14:38] <tyreza> hello
[14:38] <darkbrand> llutz: nope :(
[14:38] <llutz> :(
[14:38] <celthunder> gohdan, make a terminal in the X session and start xeyes there as the user you want?
[14:38] <tyreza> is it possible to do complete hardware check on ubuntu server ?
[14:38] <celthunder> tyreza, what you mean
[14:39] <blueprin1> celthunder: it says "# reading passphrase fron stdin" but does not show a new bash-line
[14:39] <valleydaddy78> llutz rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/apt/lists/': Is a directory
[14:39] <llutz> valleydaddy78: learn to read
[14:39] <inktri1> what's the equivalent of the " /usr/local/apache2.2" for ubuntu if i've installed apache from the repo?
[14:39] <darkbrand> Does anyone know how to translate: useradd -d /home/tux1/ -G audio,cdrom,video,lpadmin tux1
[14:39] <tyreza> i simply wanna know if possible to check hardware working correctlu or not
[14:39] <Diverdude> hello
[14:39] <valleydaddy78> llutz bye
[14:39] <darkbrand> to adduser?
[14:39] <Diverdude> how do i count the number of files in a folder from terminal?
[14:39] <gohdan> celthunder: right.
[14:39] <celthunder> blueprin1 sounds like it's missing an arguement?
[14:40] <Pici> Diverdude: ls | wc -l
[14:40] <Pici> Diverdude: ls will properly change its output when piping to other programs.  See for yourself with ls | less if you want.
[14:40] <celthunder> Diverdude, find <folder> | wc -l
[14:40] <szal> valleydaddy78: well, llutz is totally right
[14:41] <if124> blueprin1: when i was playing with arch linux this is the command to connect to wpa2 wlan : ifconfig wlan0 up; then continue from this paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/621764/
[14:41] <tyreza> how to make an hardware test ?
[14:41] <celthunder> if124 you use arch too :)

[14:42] <ikonia> bullgard4: single sign on
[14:42] <IdleOne> valleydaddy78: you need to run that rm command with sudo in front of it
[14:42] <if124> celthunder: i used to. already switched again
[14:42] <darkbrand> llutz: Thanks! I solved it using the adduser utility!
[14:42] <celthunder> if124 lol
[14:42] <llutz> darkbrand: still wonder why useradd didn't do the job. anyways
[14:42] <Pici> valleydaddy78: This is the exact command that llutz asked you to run: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*     The error that you're giving makes it sound like you didn't run that command.

[14:46] <magicj> I have a system where the screen saver will not run - message is: xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display - I believe that the issue is that at one time I had an nvidia card and the drivers ar installed.  How do I fix this
[14:47] <th0r> zachlr: take a look at synclient
[14:47] <Pici> valleydaddy78: paste the results to http://paste.ubuntu.com  and then sumbit and give me the url that it returns.
[14:47] <bullgard4> ikonia: Thank you.
[14:47] <celthunder> magicj, do you have mesa insalled?
[14:47] <zachlr> th0r, thanks.  is there a GUI for it?
[14:47] <th0r> zachlr: not sure....I am a cli person
[14:47] <magicj> celthunder: not sure what mesa is - so possibly - what is it
[14:48] <celthunder> magicj 3d libraries
[14:48] <celthunder> and i believe it includes the GLX stuff
[14:48] <tyreza> well how to run memetest on ubuntu ?
[14:48] <celthunder> tyreza, insert boot cd go to test memory
[14:48] <Guest79045> ciao
[14:49] <magicj> celthunder: do not believe so - certainly do not need them - this is a "email and browse the web:" only computer
[14:49] <jayer89> im in the channel cel
[14:49] <Guest79045> !list
[14:49] <celthunder> jayer89, do you have the nvidia drivers loaded?
[14:49] <jayer89> yes i do
[14:49] <valleydaddy78> pici http://pastebin.com/fEjtpvTy
[14:49] <magicj> celthunder: I can install it if it would help - and was that last question addressed to me rather than jayer?
[14:50] <jayer89> when i got to aditional drivers it says the driver is atcivated but not in use
[14:50] <Pici> valleydaddy78: Thats not the output of:  ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/
[14:50] <celthunder> magicj, no that was to jayer i think you need mesa
[14:50] <zachlr> th0r, "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"  That sounds like a clue, like the driver was unloaded and dropped to a generic driver or something.  Any ideas?
[14:50] <celthunder> magicj, or a different screensaver backend
[14:50] <[SpitfirE]> Does anyone know of a reason i wouldnt be able to boot Ubuntu from a flash drive, after i choose install i get the error: "no such file or directory" - Always in /scripts/casper-bottom/
[14:51] <blueprin1> celthunder: using the link you provided, I get the following error:
[14:51] <celthunder> [SpitfirE], is there a  file in /scripts/casper-bottom
[14:51] <tyreza> is it possible to run memtest from cli ?
[14:51] <valleydaddy78> pici http://pastebin.com/vRFNkDND
[14:51] <magicj> celthunder: the screen saver that is failing is ANY of them that I try to activate - I have made no changes there.  Is it possible to disable the nvidia driver which I suspect is the issue.
[14:52] <celthunder> magicj, yeah modprobe -r it
[14:52] <blueprin1> celthunder: WPA: invalid EAPOL-Key MIC - dropping packet
[14:52] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], possibly your specifying the wrong partition or your image is not setup for grub2 iso boot
[14:52] <gohdan> tyreza: memtest86+ is not a native *nix program
[14:52] <celthunder> blueprin1 no idea about that error sorry
[14:52] <blueprin1> celthunder:  ok
[14:52] <llutz> tyreza: you have to "boot" it, its running like an OS
[14:53] <Pici> valleydaddy78: Okay, now please run: sudo find /var/lib/apt/lists/ -type f -delete
[14:53] <pfifo> !pm | [SpitfirE] its easire to keep it here,
[14:54] <valleydaddy78> pici it did nothing visible
[14:54] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], what cd image are you using?
[14:54] <[SpitfirE]> Thats cool
[14:54] <magicj> celthunder: sorry to be so dense but how do I modprobe -r it?
[14:54] <[SpitfirE]> I just didnt want to be publicly outed as a moron
[14:54] <[SpitfirE]> ;P
[14:54] <[SpitfirE]> Err
[14:54] <[SpitfirE]> One moment ill find it
[14:54] <chance> yo yo got some troubles with my wireless
[14:55] <zachlr> also, syndaemon: Unable to find a synaptics device.
[14:55] <Pici> valleydaddy78: Good. It shouldn't have given you any output.  Now run sudo apt-get update and install/upgrade whatever you were trying to do beforehand.
[14:55] <chance> i just upgraded to naddy and even though <enable wireless> is checked, it still shows as disabled
[14:55] <celthunder> magicj, modprobe -r nvidia
[14:55] <chance> ifconfig only shows eth0 and lo
[14:55] <[SpitfirE]> pfifo11.04-desktop-i386
[14:55] <valleydaddy78> pici hey i went to the dir and its clear
[14:55] <valleydaddy78> pici ok ill try
[14:56] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], how did you install it to the flash drive?
[14:56] <valleydaddy78> pici dude your phreakin awsome
[14:56] <[SpitfirE]> Universal USB Installer
[14:56] <celthunder> chance, wireless card/ ifconfig -a results / does it show up in lspci/lsusb (depending on connection type)
[14:56] <Pici> valleydaddy78: great to hear it worked.
[14:56] <[SpitfirE]> Ive also tried UNetbootin
[14:56] <valleydaddy78> pici is there a place i can send a donation to for you
[14:57] <chance> hey celthunder: no it doesn't show up
[14:57] <Pici> valleydaddy78: Not needed, just keep using ubuntu :)
[14:57] <valleydaddy78> pici now can you tell me how it worked
[14:57] <chance> i fixed it before in the older distro by rfkill and ifconfig-ing it back to being active
[14:57] <szal> valleydaddy78: you could've been done w/ that an hour ago if you had had a clue about using the cmdline in the first place
[14:57] <Pici> valleydaddy78: I just gave you a command that would recursively delete any files (not directories) in the path where apt thought it had a corrupt file.
[14:57] <g[r]eek> Hi. I accidentally deleted a PHP file on my ubuntu server (on the command line). Can I recover it? If so, what is the simplest way?
[14:58] <valleydaddy78> pici nvr mind ill just get a ubuntu book
[14:58] <chance> what file g[r]eek?
[14:58] <g[r]eek> chance, a PHP script, "generate-report.php"
[14:58] <valleydaddy78> pici ohhhhhh ok so it was an alternate root
[14:58] <valleydaddy78> cool
[14:58] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], do you have access to a linux system?
[14:58] <[SpitfirE]> No I do not.
[14:58] <[SpitfirE]> Unfortunately.
[14:58] <chance> so this is more of a file recovery issue g[r]eek?  the fact it is a php file is dubious to this problem, correct?
[14:59] <chance> g[r]eek: how'd you delete it in the first place?
[14:59] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], not even a live enviroment?
[14:59] <salec> hey guys, I got a bit of a problem w/ my ubuntu server.  My server is running on a software RAID 1 array w/ 2 partitions (/boot, and /) and my /boot partition is pretty tiny (100megs).  I want to update my kernel but the updater is having some problems because it cannot extract the newer kernel image in the /boot directory because of lack of space
[14:59] <g[r]eek> chance, yes the fact that it is a PHP file is arguably irrelevant, however my googling has referred me to recovery tools that are geared for images, so I figured it would be best to point out the file type
[14:59] <salec> is it possible to a) resize the partition to be larger (without @#$@# up the other partition)  or b) remove the old kernel before running the updator?
[14:59] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], are you using a usb2.0 device in a usb3.0 port?
[15:00] <chance> celthunder: if the network manager isn't enabling the wireless, and i'm not able to via command line, do you think there's an update/patch something i can do to get the ol' thing working.
[15:00] <g[r]eek> chance, the file was delete by running "rm generate-report.php" on the command line
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> g[r]eek: go and look in .local/share/Trash
[15:00] <[SpitfirE]> That is a possibility but I would have no way of knowing Pfifo
[15:00] <zachlr> is there some way to see/manage what drivers are active?
[15:00] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], try a different usb port(s) and see if that helps
[15:00] <celthunder> chance, can you give me the output of lspci/lsusb (depending on how the card is connected)
[15:00] <melhor> question: i know libgpod does not support the ipod nano 6g. But with Ubuntu 10.10 i could at least listen to the music on my ipod, now with natty, i get the error message: unable to find HFS+ superblock.
[15:00] <celthunder> zachlr, lsmod
[15:01] <celthunder> zachlr, manage with modprobe
[15:01] <zachlr> celthunder, thanks
[15:01] <[SpitfirE]> Surely if its reading it fine and ive used it hundreds of times before that cant be the problem?
[15:01] <[SpitfirE]> Or is there any way of looking to see if they're incompatible?
[15:01] <chance> celthunder yah give me a moment, have to switch OS's
[15:02] <[SpitfirE]> Or would it be easier for me to actually put the .ISO on a disc?
[15:02] <chance> g[r]eek lets try some things, i'll brb k?
[15:02] <[SpitfirE]> My uncles a bit of a whizz with this sort of thing so I could get him to put it on a disc
[15:02] <g[r]eek> chance ok thanks
[15:02] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], the installer does not have USB 3.0 drivers
[15:02] <[SpitfirE]> Would the disc idea be better
[15:03] <[SpitfirE]> I fell at the hurdle of getting an ISO onto the disc even following the instructions but I think my drive is knackered anyway
[15:03] <MonkeyDust> g[r]eek: still about the deleted files?
[15:03] <pfifo> [SpitfirE], Yes, without a working linux most of the support methods for usb boot goes out the window
[15:03] <[SpitfirE]> Right
[15:03] <[SpitfirE]> Thanks for your help pal, ill go give that a try.
[15:03] <g[r]eek> MonkeyDust, yup. I looked for that folder but it doesn't seem to exist on my server
[15:03] <MonkeyDust> g[r]eek: go and look in .local/share/Trash/files
[15:03] <MonkeyDust> ah ok
[15:04] <MonkeyDust> g[r]eek: what distro is ur server?
[15:04] <gohdan> g[r]eek: no backups to roll back to?
[15:04] <valleydaddy78> #ubuntu YEAH this thing is moving now 2weeks worth of updates in progress
[15:04] <peter__> when I turn on my computer from suspend the login screen for natty is some kind of corrupted image... anyone know anything about it?
[15:05] <fist> hey, im using: wget --output-document=dir1/file.pdf to download a file and rename it .. but the command fails, if directory "dir1" does not exists .. does someone know a parameter to fix this
[15:05] <g[r]eek> gohdan, unfortunately not. The folder in question isn't rsynced.
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> g[r]eek: don't forget the dot before local
[15:05] <jrib> fist: create the directory first
[15:05] <g[r]eek> MonkeyDust, yeah ;)
[15:05] <tyler_d> k so you know the bar that pops out on the right hand side. how do I pick which monitor that thing is on? I want it on my temp desk monitor on the lhs of my laptop?
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> g[r]eek: type locate Trash|less
[15:06] <g[r]eek> MonkeyDust, running version 10.04
[15:06] <peter__> anyone else getting a bad login screen on natty when logging in from suspend mode?
[15:06] <if124> g[r]eek : if you use rm chances are it's gone. check this faq, section 3.6 https://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.questions/msg/a59d907fa04e763c
[15:06] <g[r]eek> MonkeyDust, latest LTS server afaikl
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> g[r]eek: ten it does exist
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> then*
[15:06] <if124> g[r]eek : try find ~/. | grep -i trash
[15:07] <g[r]eek> ok
[15:07] <g[r]eek> if124, returns nothing
[15:07] <if124> g[r]eek : then there is no trash file anywhere in your home folder.
[15:08] <pfifo> fist wget -x
[15:09] <Fester77> i got a dualboot win7 and (k)ubuntu .... i need to reinstall my win7 and the mbr will be overwritten ... how can i readd ubuntu without having to reinstall it all with wubi?
[15:09] <if124> g[r]eek : to clarify, find ~/. lists all files in the home folder, grep looks for "trash", -i for ignore case
[15:09] <g[r]eek> if124, nope there isn't, I've triple-checked
[15:09] <magicj> celthunder: I guess I was wrong - it told me I did not have it installed
[15:09] <chance> hey celthunder, it shows eth0 wlan0 and lo
[15:09] <chance> 0 packets and activity for wlan0
[15:10] <g[r]eek> if124, and based on the FAQ you shared, it seems all hope is lost
[15:10] <jayer89> fester you can reinstall the windows boot loader and it will detect ubuntu there so you can choose what os you want to boot
[15:10] <celthunder> chance, ok so connect using iwconfig and dhclient or something (if it's not wpa network that's all you need)
[15:10] <g[r]eek> if124, "Consider it a rite of passage." beautifully put.
[15:10] <jayer89> when you boot it will give you 2 options either windows 7 or ubuntu
[15:10] <peter__> anyone else getting a bad image for the login screen on natty when logging in from suspend mode?
[15:11] <Fester77> so you mean i more or less win7 installer will detect ubuntu itself and set it up?
[15:11] <chance> g[r]eek if you use a recovery program it could be possible
[15:11] <san_> can anyone please help me
[15:11] <Fester77> no need for extra fixing afterwards
[15:11] <g[r]eek> chance, I'm taking a look at testdisk's photorec as we speak
[15:11] <san_> i cannot upgrade my ubuntu
[15:12] <jayer89> you have ubuntu installed properly and windows 7 yes
[15:12] <pfifo> Fester77, no thats not correct
[15:12] <peter__> san_: what's your problem?
[15:12] <pfifo> Fester77, http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/20/backing-up-the-mbr/
[15:12] <san_> i tried installing 10.04 , 10.10, 11.04 both with cd and usbin every case installer hangs when loading
[15:13] <san_> right now i m in 9.10
[15:13] <peter__> san_: can you update from the update manager?
[15:13] <Fester77> @ pfifo : txh
[15:13] <chance> ok well best of luck to that g[r]eek
[15:13] <g[r]eek> When using PhotoRec on my RAID hard drives, which device should I select? sda? sdb? or md0?
[15:13] <san_> ya but after reboot it hangs
[15:13] <gohdan> !alternate | san_
[15:14] <chance> g[r]eek you can can also edit how rm works and send stuff to a pergatory so to speak that you can easily access and then write a script to do major dumps of that little place
[15:14] <g[r]eek> chance, thanks. It's a last-ditch effort before I resort to re-writing the script. Either way, I've learnt a valuable lesson
[15:14] <chance> but that's precautionary and not solving this problem
[15:14] <san_> gohdan, will i be able to run live? in alternate cd
[15:14] <chance> yah you need to get down with a svn g[r]eek
[15:14] <peter__> san_: ya try the alternate cd. on the downloads page on the ubuntu website it'll show you alternate ways of downloading
[15:15] <chance> i say you rewirte the script, it couldn't be over 50 lines was it?
[15:15] <san_> even i used the original ubuntu cd which i got of 10.04 and 10.10 dint work either
[15:15] <gohdan> san_: its an installer. runs just like debians text mode installer (because it is). not a live cd
[15:15] <g[r]eek> chance nah it was pretty long and complex but I've got a hard-copy of the output so I know how to duplicate it
[15:16] <zwick> g[r]eek: Instead of using svn, use git - it also has svn bindings
[15:16] <chance> g[r]eek that sucks babe i'm sorry
[15:16] <chance> yah git is where its at
[15:16] <peter__> san_: here's the url for the download - http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate
[15:16] <san_> is ther any other solution? because i want to run it live on cd or usb
[15:16] <cablop> o.O
[15:16] <peter__> san_: aren't you installing it?
[15:17] <chance> doers anyone have some fun gits i can follow and fork around with?  i'm working on diaspora now but i'm always up for new stuff
[15:17] <cablop> san_ what do you want to ccomplish?
[15:17] <zwick> I use git at work and on my own hobby projects
[15:17] <san_> i am sorry i want to install it but i am not sure if it will get installed
[15:17] <san_> then again i will hav to install 9.10
[15:17] <Pici> san_: 9.10 is no longer supported.
[15:17] <peter__> san_: then try the alternate installer
[15:17] <san_> ok
[15:18] <san_> thanks for the support
[15:18] <cablop> san_ to install ubuntu on an old computer?
[15:18] <zwick> you can even set up a free account on Github.com and host your repo's there (with a free account, your repo's will be public though)
[15:18] <gohdan> san_: the textmode installer should work barring any weird or unforeseen driver issues
[15:18] <cablop> how old?
[15:18] <san_> cablop: mine is 4 years old
[15:19] <cablop> i installed natty in a 7 years old computer xD
[15:19] <chance> natty just owned my wireless
[15:19] <cablop> san_ but using the alternate installer
[15:19] <chance> brb
[15:19] <AdvoWork> im doing: du -csh / --max-depth=1  but getting: du: warning: summarizing conflicts with --max-depth=1  but the man page shows that option, any ideas please?
[15:19] <gul> cablop: it worked?
[15:19] <faLUCE> s it possible to pipe echo "foobar" into something like a file that must contain maximum 4 characters? (foob)
[15:19] <gohdan> cablop: using which WM?
[15:20] <cablop> yes it worked, but i want to install ubuntu 10.04 on it, natty is a catastrophe
[15:20] <cablop> gohdan: gnome and compiz
[15:20] <gohdan> gnome has to run like a slug on that thing
[15:20] <gul> cablop: nice
[15:20] <cablop> nope
[15:20] <cablop> some glitches, due to driver issues, but nothing that interferes with work
[15:21] <cablop> now that board is failing and i plugged that natty into an old 1999 board... it is running, but for some reason it is neglegting to work the AGP
[15:21] <cablop> but everything else is ok
[15:22] <pfifo> faLUCE, look into using 'awk' I have no idea how to work it, but I know awk is made for that
[15:22] <cablop> so san_ play safe and grab ubuntu 10.04 and use on it, it is going to work, don't test natty, that unity thing is going to break you in pieces wile trying to work with old video cards... and in my opinion, gnome is jut more than enough in an old computer
[15:22] <gul> cablop: gud try.........it shows the power and flexibility of linux   :)
[15:23] <pfifo> faLUCE, or maybe "| sed 's/\(....\).*/\1/'
[15:23] <kubanc> is there any program in ubuntu for creating photo albums?
[15:23] <cablop> i think the AGP issue is because i'm using natty and those nuveau drivers... but maybe lucid with the proprietary drivers should work fine too
[15:23] <if124> kubanc : shotwell?

[15:25] <peter__> a_ok: I had the same problem, but when I updated my graphics card driver unity started on boot
[15:26] <cognac-gamma> shall I be adraid that ubuntu will damage the 6 cell lithium battery?
[15:26] <cablop> san_ grab a lucid live cd and test, if things fail look for the acpi switch before loading the live cd kernel

[15:27] <if124> bullgard4 : click the or, sign in using your launchpad ID link
[15:27] <Pici> janith: http://www.irchelp.org/ might be useful for you.  Keep in mind that #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only.  Random chatter belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:27] <kubanc> if124, it looks like shotwell doesn't wupport tiff format
[15:27] <janith> Thanx Pici
[15:27] <pfifo> cognac-gamma, ubuntu has performed better in regards to not destryoying the laptop batteries that ive had out of all distros and windows

[15:29] <psyx> can somebody explain to me what jabber is?
[15:29] <bullgard4> if124: I will be directed through another two sites and at the end to a form where I am asked to enter a User name and a password. This is no improvement.
[15:29] <blueprin1> celthunder: thanks for all the help, i just needed to restart
[15:29] <peter__> guest88807: go to the ubuntu software center
[15:29] <cablop> jabber is a protocol psyx
[15:29] <Guest88807> thanks mate
[15:29] <psyx> thanks buddy
[15:30] <peter__> guest88807: no prob
[15:30] <gohdan> trying to launch xeyes from the shell logged in as another user results in: "No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0".
[15:30] <peter__> anyone else getting a bad image for the login screen on natty when logging in from suspend mode?
[15:30] <IdleOne> bullgard4: the LP username is the email address you used to sign up to launchpad
[15:30] <cablop> psyx for instant messaging, you can set up your own server, a friend did that to set up communications in an intranet or join a public server, google talk technology runs on top of jabber also facebook chat can be accesed via jabber (anyway FB one is unencrypted)
[15:30] <if124> bullgard4 : sorry, i don't have a launchpad account
[15:31] <bullgard4> psyx: Jabber is a protocol which allows you to communicate similar to IRC but with more security and some extras.
[15:31] <misha> is there a tool - to go through directories and reconcile many different copies of potentially the same files - and get it all down to one set? (like reconciling a bunch of backup copies)

[15:36] <cognac-gamma> another i3 intel proc issue:
[15:36] <edbian> Xano: Mmmmm, strange.  Lemme research a bit.
[15:36] <cognac-gamma> md64 10.04 siad timing cached is 402.80Mb/s while i386 of the same release said 3717.60 Mb/s, similiar differences in buffered. Both 64-bit. Why is that?
[15:37] <cognac-gamma> i meant 4020.80

[15:39] <econdudeawesome> Hey all! How do I make a bash script run at startup--not at login, but at startup? (goal is to write a bash script to send me output of ifconfig at startup)
[15:39] <Polah> LekeFly: You probably switched to one of the text-only ttys. Do Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to your graphical interface.
[15:39] <edbian> Whoa, google is down for me righ tnow
[15:39] <rumpe1> econdudeawesome, add it to /etc/rc.local
[15:39] <pfifo> LekeFly, C-M-F1 and C-M-F7 to get back
[15:39] <iceroot> Xano: and you are using a ubuntu-release which is using upstart?
[15:39] <Zinger> Visuall Effect in the laptop with NVIDIA driver RC710 doesn't work
[15:40] <engrxyz> hi, is there any way to upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to something a bit to latest version?
[15:40] <econdudeawesome> rumpe1: thats it? Seems to easy :-)
[15:40] <Xano> iceroot: Don't know what upstart is, but I use 11.04 with the latest updates
[15:40] <Polah> engrxyz: Normal release or LTS?
[15:40] <iceroot> Xano: maybe its called sshd instead of ssh? (dont have ubuntu here to test)
[15:40] <edbian> Xano: Do you have a file: /etc/init.d/ssh    ?
[15:40] <edbian> iceroot: It's ssh on my Debian system.
[15:40] <iceroot> edbian: debian is using upstart?
[15:41] <engrxyz> Polah, : not sure if this is normal release or lts, how do i know that?
[15:41] <Zinger> Help please with NVIDIA driver on laptop samsung RC710
[15:41] <gohdan> iceroot:  yes. since squeeze i think
[15:41] <iceroot> !nvidia | Zinger
[15:41] <bullgard4> Xano: Does System > Administration > System Monitor show a process sshd?
[15:41] <iceroot> gohdan: ok, thank you
[15:41] <Polah> engrxyz, 8.04 is an LTS. I was asking if you want to move up to the latest normal release (11.04) or the latest LTS (10.04)
[15:41] <edbian> iceroot: squeeze uses the sudo service <blah> start syntax yes
[15:42] <engrxyz> Polah, : which one is more better
[15:42] <engrxyz> Polah, : 11.04 is more better i guess? so any clue/tips on how to do that
[15:42] <bullgard4> engrxyz: 10.04
[15:42] <LekeFly> My ubuntu machine frezes at grub or at the brown screen trying to get into ubuntu.. what could be wrong?
[15:42] <Polah> engrxyz: 11.04 is a more up-to-date release, 10.04 is older but it's long-term support. Desktop supports for it expires next year I think though
[15:42] <gohdan> iceroot: although it _may_ be in use only with wheezy, so dont quote me on that. pretty sure since squeeze though.
[15:42] <engrxyz> Polah, : i am using it for server
[15:42] <zgr> hey guys can someone tell me how to remove those indicators (status and messages) at top right of unity panel in 11.04? /usr/share/applications has no indicator-me or smth like it
[15:42] <Lareth> Hello. Is there a problem if I update libusb-1.0.0 in lucid to a greater version (compile from source)?
[15:43] <engrxyz> just don't know how to update this box
[15:43] <Polah> engrxyz: 10.04 then.
[15:43] <econdudeawesome> rumpe1: what extension do I need to save the bash script as? .sh?
[15:43] <iceroot> gohdan: as long as it is not sid :)
[15:43] <edbian> econdudeawesome: .sh is 'shell'  that's appropriate.  Technically you don't need an extension at all.
[15:43] <engrxyz> Polah, : when i did apt-get update i got this "failed to fetch" errors
[15:43] <iceroot> econdudeawesome: no extension
[15:44] <Zinger> ubottu: I have 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[15:44] <pfifo> Lareth, you can install to /urs/local and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD
[15:44] <Polah> engrxyz, edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades. Check that the line "Prompt=" at the bottom says "Prompt=lts".
[15:44] <econdudeawesome> edbian, iceroot much thanks
[15:44] <iceroot> econdudeawesome: e.g. you call "ping" and not "ping.sh"
[15:44] <edbian> econdudeawesome: sure
[15:44] <iceroot> econdudeawesome: so file-extension is not good
[15:44] <Polah> engrxyz: Then do apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and then sudo do-release-upgrade.
[15:44] <Kaspi> hey guys
[15:44] <engrxyz> Polah, : yeah it's there
[15:44] <iceroot> econdudeawesome: you use instead a shebang
[15:44] <Polah> engrxyz: I imaginge that's a network issue then, i.e. it can't contact the servers.
[15:44] <Lareth> pfifo: can you give me some more info please/
[15:45] <Zinger> iceroot: I have 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[15:45] <gohdan> iceroot: why not? debian sid is ubuntu "stable" >:P
[15:45] <engrxyz> Polah, : something like this W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ha/ppa/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/i18n/Translation-en_GB.bz2  Unable to connect to ppa.launchpad.net http:

[15:46] <b3gott3n> hi
[15:46] <b3gott3n> it's chance here
[15:46] <if124> Kaspi: you lost window decorations? try typing metacity --replace
[15:46] <engrxyz> Polah: in that case how will by any how will i correct it
[15:46] <Polah> engrxyz: Perhaps the PPA is just no longer supported.
[15:46] <b3gott3n> celthunder: still can't get wireless up and running.  going to try to surf the forms... this jus thappened when i installed natty
[15:47] <Polah> engrxyz: Nothing you can really do about that. Does it give you failed to fetch errors on everything it tries to reach?
[15:47] <Polah> b3gott3n: Did you install while connected to the internet, i.e. via ethernet?
[15:47] <pfifo> Lareth, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is an environmental variable that allows you to tell ld-linux and vdso where to search for libraries.
[15:47] <engrxyz> Polah, : something like this 0% [Connecting to gb.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)] [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[15:47] <b3gott3n> Polah: i installed while connected to the internet
[15:48] <Polah> engrxyz: Could you pastebin the output of apt-get update and link me to it?
[15:48] <b3gott3n> Polah: i'm just trying to find a quick fix so i can get an internet connection in natty and repair from there.  now i'm running windows on this machine until i can get wireless going on natty.
[15:48] <ukr_888> Anyone here knows NFS?
[15:48] <engrxyz> Polah, : what's the pastebin uRl here

[15:50] <Kaspi> Is it possible to remove Unity and use just Xfce?
[15:50] <edbian> Kaspi: yeah
[15:50] <engrxyz> Polah, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/621805/
[15:50] <pfifo> Kaspi, you dont 'have to' remove unity to install xubuntu-desktop
[15:50] <edbian> Kaspi: Just install XFCE (you can have them both installed)
[15:50] <if124> Kaspi: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[15:50] <Kaspi> well
[15:50] <RA_drc> edbian: thanks
[15:51] <ukr_888> Ah sorry, relatively new to IRC. This is my last resort for answers. I am having issues with mounting NFS on Ubutnu 11.04. My debian server is hosting the NFS shares (4 of them) and when I mount them under ubuntu they are all the same, pointing to the same directory on the server.
[15:51] <edbian> RA_drc: ummmm, sure no problem.
[15:51] <ukr_888> I am using NFSv3
[15:51] <pfifo> ukr_888, does it work correctly on other computers?
[15:51] <Polah> engrxyz, did you install the server edition of 8.04?
[15:52] <Xeph> Anyone have simple beep sound for xchat? default xchat installation doesn't have sound files
[15:52] <Kaspi> I've been using Xfce for some time, now i ran Unity by a mistake and Xfce is all messed up... huge icons, lost decorations (now actually decorations from Gnome), window menus appear in my top panel, settings manager doesn't show any options and so..
[15:52] <econdudeawesome> I would like to set up a server to email me every time it restarts with ifconfig. I have almost everything figured out except the actual mailing part. It says /bin/mail does not exist, but I thought this was standard... what should I use instead?
[15:52] <engrxyz> Polah, : not really sure what this is..but doing a cat /etc/*issue* says Ubuntu 8.04.2
[15:52] <pfifo> !info xchat-common | Xeph
[15:52] <Xeph> oh thanks!
[15:52] <ukr_888> I havent tested, just one server and client
[15:52] <ukr_888> I could try a vm perhaps
[15:53] <econdudeawesome> !info irssi | econdudeawesome
[15:53] <pfifo> ukr_888, test it, could be a possible version mismatch too
[15:53] <Xano> bullgard4: It shows "ssh-agent"
[15:53] <Polah> engrxyz: I'm assuming there is an actual difference between the desktop and server editions. Desktop support was terminated last month for 8.04, which could be the issue now as the archives may no longer be available
[15:53] <zaksoldier> Hi all
[15:54] <pfifo> econdudeawesome, i think your looking for 'sendmail'
[15:54] <engrxyz> Polah, : you mean i got a desktop version?
[15:54] <tucemiux> !hello | zaksoldier
[15:54] <ukr_888> Ok I will try, I got a ubuntu VM already
[15:54] <if124> Kaspi: Did you ran metacity --replace? it's from gnome.
[15:54] <Polah> engrxyz: Maybe, if there's a difference between where the desktop and server editions look for their packages
[15:54] <Kaspi> if124: yeah, added decorations from Gnome :P
[15:54] <engrxyz> Polah, : no other way to get this getting an upgrade?
[15:54] <Xeph> hmm I just check xchat-common for sound files, but there're no installed sound files by xchat-common. weird
[15:55] <Polah> engrxyz: You could just upgrade and then upgrade packages later. sudo do-release-upgrade
[15:55] <econdudeawesome> pfifo: that might work. How do I set it up?
[15:55] <jhojann> muy buenas
[15:55] <if124> Kaspi: Sorry, that's a really bad advice.
[15:55] <tucemiux> igualmente
[15:55] <pfifo> econdudeawesome, should be standard, type 'man sendmail' for the manual as Im not sure how to do what you want
[15:55] <if124> Kaspi: it should be something like xfwm
[15:55] <engrxyz> Polah, : that's command not found
[15:55] <Kaspi> if124: well I can at least close the windows now :)
[15:55] <beefman_> i'm having about 50/50 luck with a usb wireless nic.  sometimes it connects and works great, sometimes it hangs, sometimes it keeps telling me bad password.  Would avahi-daemon have anything to do with it?
[15:56] <jhojann> alguien sabe de un comando de linux que elimine todo el texto de un archivo html por ejemplo entre los tags <script> y </script>   ????
[15:56] <econdudeawesome> pfifo: would it be under /usr/bin or /usr/sbin?
[15:56] <pfifo> econdudeawesome, /usr/bin/sendmail
[15:56] <pfifo> !info sendmail
[15:57] <Bloomz> goes anyone know if it is possible to get an airport express working in Unity?
[15:57] <pfifo> econdudeawesome, 'sudo apt-get install sendmail'
[15:57] <Bloomz> does*
[15:57] <moneedhelp> #ubutun-fr
[15:57] <Polah> engrxyz: That's strange. Do you have update-manager installed? You must do if you had the release settings file, but it could've been removed and the configuration is just still there
[15:57] <tucemiux> beefman_:  wireless works flaky from what I have experienced, it all depends on the hardware you have but once you configure an access point you shouldnt be getting bad password errors, unless youre inputing the passwords by hand
[15:57] <edbian> Xano: ?
[15:57] <engrxyz> Polah, : i even tried "apt-get dist-ugprade" and i still got this "0% [Connecting to gb.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[15:57] <econdudeawesome> pfifo: are there no included packages for this? It appears that "mail" is a standard bash option, but I cannot find it
[15:57] <pfifo> !info mail
[15:57] <BluesKaj> ukr_888,  the NFS server version for 11.04 should be version 4...NFS can only point to one dir in fstab afaik
[15:57] <Polah> engrxyz: apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade don't upgrade distribution. See this: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade
[15:57] <moneedhelp> #ubuntu-fr
[15:57] <Xano> edbian: What was your last question? I got a phone call and my scrollback is kind of unusable
[15:57] <jhojann> anybody knows a linux commad line that remove text from html file between <script> and </script>  tags ????
[15:57] <ukr_888> ok so I just tried it and it does the same thing. My shares are opened for the whole subnet. My export first on is /home mounted under /home and the second is /mnt/data mounted on /mnt/data but /mnt/data looks just like /home so weird
[15:57] <Polah> engrxyz: Specifically the server upgrade part.
[15:58] <Kaspi> if124: xfwm4 --replace better :P
[15:58] <edbian> Xano: do you have a /etc/init.d/ssh  ?
[15:58] <beefman_> tucemiux: no, i save it.  it works often for a day at a time...  some mornings it just doesn't want to
[15:58] <pfifo> econdudeawesome, i think 'mail' IS part of sendmail lol
[15:58] <Kaspi> if124: thankies!
[15:58] <Kaspi> brb
[15:58] <engrxyz> Polah, : i did try "apt-get install update-manager" ... and i still got this" 0% [Connecting to gb.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)] [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[15:58] <engrxyz> "
[15:58] <Xano> edbian: yes
[15:59] <WuLi> yeow.. updated to 11.4, I think that's the version, and my whole desktop has changed.
[15:59] <edbian> Xano: Can you pastebin the errors you get from sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart  ?
[15:59] <Polah> engrxyz: You want update-manager-core actually, just update-manager will probably try to install all of GNOME. It seems you have a network issue, I can't really help you with it.
[15:59] <beefman_> tucemiux: and since i went from 32bit to 64bit, i occasionally get ifconfig and lsusb hanging
[15:59] <econdudeawesome> engrxyz: try changing your server in Synaptic
[15:59] <beefman_> hanging both wicd and my root terminal
[15:59] <tucemiux> beefman_:  and you actually get a "badd password" prompt?  Sometimes I do a release and it works, other times I turn on my laptop and reboot it, then it works
[15:59] <Kaspi> aha my env is back
[15:59] <Polah> WuLi: That would be Unity. You can use GNOMe by selecting "Ubuntu Classic" at login.
[15:59] <Kaspi> :)
[15:59] <beefman_> yeah it actually says "Bad password"
[15:59] <WuLi> Polah:: excelent, ty!
[15:59] <engrxyz> econdudeawesome, : any clue where to open that
[16:00] <llutz> econdudeawesome: use bsd-mailx and a simple mta like ssmtp/msmtp to send mails
[16:00] <econdudeawesome> engrxyz: "sudo synaptic", then a GUI pops up... hang on
[16:00] <Polah> econdudeawesome, he's running a server environment. Installing a GUI would be counterproductive.
[16:00] <engrxyz> econdudeawesome, : sudo synaptic
[16:00] <engrxyz> sudo: synaptic: command not found
[16:00] <econdudeawesome> llutz: is this a better option than "sendmail"? This is what I'm working from: http://theos.in/shell-scripting/send-mail-bash-script/
[16:00] <tucemiux> beefman_:  maybe youre trying different access points with the same name?  Have you checked to see if youre trying the same access point
[16:00] <Xano> edbian: It whines about using the service utility rather than invoking it through init.d.  It's a graphical package manager and you don't really want a GUI for a server. The actual command would be sudo apt-get install synaptic. However, your machine seems to be unable to contact the Ubuntu archives and repositories.
[16:01] <edbian> Xano: Are they complaining that there is no 'restart' ?
[16:01] <econdudeawesome> Polah: engrxyz if you're running a server, my bad. I was suggesting you change your default repo to something else, but I'm not sure how to do that on a server environment
[16:01] <gigasoft__> ioy89oy89, what?!
[16:01] <econdudeawesome> llutz: so is hte name of the package then bsd-mailx and ssmtp?
[16:02] <WuLi> ah yus, much better.
[16:02] <Polah> econdudeawesome, engrxyz: Repositories are listed in /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:02] <llutz> econdudeawesome: yes, simple howto http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/
[16:02] <Xano> edbian: No, just that I shouldn't use init.d for this
[16:02] <econdudeawesome> llutz: much thanks
[16:02] <edbian> Xano: But sudo service ssh says what again?
[16:02] <sabayonweb_56278> Hi, I have a clean install of 11.04 amd64. After install I ran 'sudo get update and upgrade'. I now get a 'mountall Disconnect from Plymouth' error at boot and no window manager, please help.

[16:04] <Xano> edbian: Shift, I said shift!
[16:04] <Xano> :P
[16:04] <sabayonweb_56278> tucemiux: at boot?
[16:04] <edbian> Xano: You can't shift that many?
[16:04] <edbian> Xano: the man page for service says all it does is look in /etc/init.d/  for scripts.
[16:04] <Xano> edbian: No, "sudo service ssh" can't
[16:04] <jpds> engrxyz: There is a problem with your internet connection, try tracing the IP with: tracepath <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:04] <jpds> engrxyz: And paste the output at pastebin.ubuntu.com
[16:04] <tucemiux> engrxyz: youre trying to upgrade from your home or someone else's network?  Looks like the problem is the repos are blocked in your network
[16:04] <edbian> Xano: sudo service ssh    can't 'shift that many' ?   What does that mean?
[16:05] <tucemiux> sabayonweb_56278: yes, when your machine boots up, does it go to a point where you see a menu and can pick failsafe mode?
[16:05] <fiftyeight> hello
[16:05] <engrxyz> yeah i believe so it seems to be blocked
[16:05] <sabayonweb_56278> tucemiux - no it just boots automatically - I don't get into menus. I can get into the command line if that'll help.
[16:06] <tucemiux> engrxyz: youre trying to upgrade from the library or at work, maybe ?
[16:06] <cablop> i am using the proprietary drivers for my broadcom, i mean the STA ones, they say my signal is poorer than what the b43 says... but, the b43 page says the support for my broadcom is uncomplete
[16:06] <Roasted_> Has anybody added Ubuntu file server to a Windows domain? Permissions wise it's proving to be a headache. Currently "domain admins" has RWX permissions to a folder yet Ubuntu won't let any domain admins read/write to that folder in question.
[16:06] <fiftyeight> is there someone here to help with ubuntu crashing on boot?
[16:06] <Polah> sabayonweb_56278, hold shift during boot and it'll give you a GRUB menu. You should be able to boot into recovery mode from there.
[16:06] <tucemiux> sabayonweb_56278: if you can get into the command line then see if you have online access and try upgrading from there
[16:06] <sabayonweb_56278> thanks Polah, let me see
[16:06] <pfifo> cablop, is it complete enough for what you need todo? if so the use it
[16:07] <sabayonweb_56278> tucemiux
[16:07] <sabayonweb_56278> i'm online
[16:07] <sabayonweb_56278> tucemiux - I am indeed online - it's just that I don't have any window managers - and I have no idea what plymouth is
[16:07] <ukr_888> Could portmap be responsible for crossing nfs exports and making them all identical pointing to one directory on the server?
[16:07] <tucemiux> !ask | fiftyeight
[16:07] <cablop> pfifo what is b43, if sta are the prop[rietary ones what is b43 then?
[16:07] <pfifo> cablop, im assuming some open source alternative
[16:07] <econdudeawesome> llutz: so what is the /usr/bin/mail thing I've been seeing and used on a Redhat server? Is that not included with ubuntu?
[16:07] <Polah> sabayonweb_56278, Plymouth provides a graphical boot screen, unless I'm mistaken.
[16:08] <gohdan> pfifo: it does appear that one can indeed luanch X applications in the manner i was previously attempting. the limitation seemed to be with the "magic cookie"
[16:08] <tucemiux> sabayonweb_56278:  try upgrading first, get all the updates, reboot, then you figure out how to get a GUI
[16:08] <sabayonweb_56278> Polah - can I kill it then?
[16:08] <pfifo> !info plymouth | sabayonweb_56278
[16:08] <cablop> pfifo mmm :( usually open source drivers are worst than proprietary ones... :S
[16:08] <Polah> sabayonweb_56278, not sure what goes on without it. I wouldn't. Reinstall maybe, not total removal
[16:08] <llutz> econdudeawesome: there are many different packages providing that, its just a symlink in most cases.
[16:09] <econdudeawesome> llutz: I see
[16:09] <pfifo> gohdan, ohh, good to know, thanks
[16:09] <sabayonweb_56278> tucemiux - ok, let me see - polah - so update and upgrade, right? no specific packages?
[16:09] <zaksoldier> !info
[16:09] <llutz> econdudeawesome: on my debian-squeeze servers its a symlink to  /etc/alternatives/mail which links to /usr/bin/bsd-mailx
[16:09] <pfifo> gohdan, what di you have todo?
[16:09] <sabayonweb_56278> tucemiux - it's holding back 4 packages
[16:09] <Xano> edbian I don't know what it means.   It gets stuck booting up and all the last line you see if "edit /etc/default/saned"??
[16:14] <sabayonweb_56278> tucemiux: on logging in on command line and trying gdm restart as root :"Warning: failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager'
[16:14] <sabayonweb_56278> tucemiux: yes, still no gui
[16:15] <econdudeawesome> If I haven't logged in right away, can I still use ssmtp in a startup script?
[16:15] <tucemiux> b3gott3n_: you can start with linux journal's segment on wireless
[16:16] <b3gott3n_> tucemiux: i 'm reading this one:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo  is that what youre talking about?
[16:16] <tucemiux> sabayonweb_56278: can you get into a command prompt? if you can then fix your GUI, there's plenty of howtos in the web
[16:16] <econdudeawesome> llutz: If I haven't logged in right away, can I still use ssmtp in a statup script? Goal is on server restart to email myself a copy of ifconfig
[16:17] <private_meta> What is the "/etc/profile" equivalent on ubuntu?
[16:17] <private_meta> ah
[16:17] <b3gott3n_> brb
[16:17] <private_meta> profile IS available on ubuntu
[16:17] <th^^>  /etc/profile? ;)
[16:17] <private_meta> >_<
[16:17] <private_meta> damn me
[16:17] <tucemiux> b3gott3n_: nope, the article on linux journal shows you how to scan and stuff, the very first thing you need to know is "iwconfig" -- that way you know your wireless NIC is being detected, if it's not the first step is to install the drivers
[16:18] <sabayonweb_56278> thanks tucimeux
[16:18] <b3gott3n_> thanks tucemius: i know iwconfig, it looks like my card isn't setup so i'm trying that angle... something went wonky when i installed natty
[16:18] <llutz> econdudeawesome: sure, you'll need just to configre ssmtp for a mail-hub (gmail or whatever you want), then create a cron-job "@reboot ifconfig|mail -s rebooted"
[16:18] <fiftyeight> Question: when I turn on the PC ubuntu shows the loading screen that after about a minute it sitches to a black screen that shows lots of lines of text including "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f8c84848"
[16:18] <tucemiux> sabayonweb_56278: if youre still having problems, come back to the channel and ask away, if someone has an answer theyll help you
[16:19] <llutz> econdudeawesome: sure, you'll need just to configre ssmtp for a mail-hub (gmail or whatever you want), then create a cron-job "@reboot ifconfig|mail -s rebooted<EMAIL_ADDRESS> sry, email missing

[16:20] <marcello_> Hi guys
[16:20] <tucemiux> b3gott3n_:  first make sure your wireless is turned on, if you have dual boot then login to windows, make sure wireless is turned on, then boot again into ubuntu, if still no luck then search on the web for your particular wireless card and ubuntu
[16:20] <econdudeawesome> llutz: do I need to manually create the symlink for mail then?
[16:20] <tucemiux> sabayonweb_56278: it's easy
[16:20] <pfifo> sabayonweb_56278, I just fixed what your describing I think
[16:20] <econdudeawesome> llutz: also, to create the cron job, i type in explicity what you wrote: 'cron-job<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:20] <llutz> econdudeawesome: shouldn't be needed if you install bsd-mailx
