[04:39] <iuri> i just plugged a motorola motonav via USB on my ubuntu. do you any ideas to access it?
[04:39] <smil3y> wiredvamp>   well.  you typed gyachi in the terminal, what happend next?
[04:40] <asdf_baron> libcheroekk-mod-libssl libssl-ocaml libssl-ocaml-dev libssl0.9.8 libssl-dev
[04:40] <wiredvamp> it is going on line then off line
[04:40] <smil3y> wiredvamp>  did gyach open?
[04:40] <padhu> sdf_baron: gyarche
[04:40] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: that means you have another program running that ID
[04:40] <wiredvamp> and it  is repeating on/ off -line
[04:40] <dmex> asdf_baron: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSSL
[04:40] <wiredvamp> no
[04:41] <zzzed> asdf_baron,  can u connect to your modem (with browser)?
[04:41] <smil3y> wiredvamp>  killall gyachi
[04:42] <thune3> asdf_baron: i assume you restarted firefox, it does its own adress caching.
[04:42] <asdf_baron> zzzed, not sure what you mean.
[04:42] <asdf_baron> i restarted my browsers, my computer
[04:42] <iuri> Hi There, i just plugged a motorola motonav via USB on my ubuntu. do you have any ideas to access it?
[04:42] <asdf_baron> i can connect to regular http websites
[04:42] <itsux2bu> ok.. i'm in a vbox of 64-bit ubuntu desktop guest os..  how do i get a higher res than 800 x 600.. thats the highest the bar will go..
[04:42] <zzzed> asdf_baron, your modem has an ip address that you can enter in your browsers address field, e.g http//<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:43] <DuBsTeP> hey
[04:43] <asdf_baron> that's a router's address isn't it?
[04:43] <crunchbang> hey
[04:43] <DuBsTeP> Can anyone help me?
[04:43] <dmex> I think asdf_baron might need to reinstall the OpenSLL librarys, we already established ssl doesnt work.
[04:43] <zzzed> asdf_baron, your modem has an address, just like a router
[04:43] <gerald309> go Dub..
[04:43] <asdf_baron> how do i know what it is zzzed?
[04:43] <DuBsTeP> ok
[04:43] <asdf_baron> and dmex, how would i go about doing that?
[04:44] <gerald309> I mean go with your question...
[04:44] <DuBsTeP> I need to uninstall linux and re-install windows 7, anyone know how i can do that? :P
[04:44] <m1ck3y> Hello all, I can't seem to get an ubuntu install to work without crashing, I've tried live cd's and usb boots. Anyone heard of this happening?
[04:44] <gerald309> ok biggie
[04:44] <Barnabas> zzzed, not if it is in bridge mode
[04:44] <Vovk>  question: Why does my laptop always suspend after 5 minutes of inactivity even though I disabled it in the gnome power manager?
[04:45] <Vovk> using ubuntu 10.04
[04:45] <Funhouse> hi there, trying to use a vpn with ubuntu 10.4 i add it, but anyone i try to connect to it says it cannot connect
[04:45] <MaRk-I> DuBsTeP: just install windows and format the whole drive for more help go to ##windows
[04:45] <zzzed> Barnabas, not many in bridged mode anymore
[04:45] <gerald309> i m still new.... but have Wubi.... what type install
[04:45] <DuBsTeP> Mark
[04:45] <DuBsTeP> can I pm u?
[04:45] <wiredvamp> i have a program that is not working right plz help
[04:45] <MaRk-I> no
[04:45] <DuBsTeP> >.>
[04:45] <Vovk> wiredvamp ask the question, don't ask to ask
[04:45] <y0sh_> exit
[04:46] <Barnabas> zzzed, in DK theres quite a lot :-)
[04:46] <zzzed> Barnabas, oh ok
[04:46] <Vovk> also has nobody else experienced the problem where a laptop (running on AC power) always suspends after 5 minutes even though that option has been disabled in the power manager? (ubuntu 10.04)
[04:46] <wiredvamp> gyache is not working right
[04:46] <thune3> asdf_baron: you could temporarily try 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6' , restart networking and see if it's any better.
[04:47] <MaRk-I> Vovk: also check screensaver settings
[04:47] <wiredvamp> it is going on-line then off-line
[04:47] <Vovk> Mark
[04:47] <asdf_baron> i seem to have done something stupid, i went for apt-get remove libssl-dev
[04:47] <Vovk> i feel stupid
[04:47] <wiredvamp> and it is not stopping
[04:47] <Vovk> thank you
[04:47] <Barnabas> zzzed, traffic on the public ip directed directly onto the pc nic
[04:47] <asdf_baron> which removed it.. but now i can't reinstall it
[04:47] <smil3y> wiredvamp>  you logged on yahoo somewhere else?
[04:47] <dmex> asdf_baron: sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8 ca-certificates
[04:47] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: make sure that username is just your ID... no @yahoo.com or @bleh
[04:47] <xomp-ubuntu> 'ello, I'm looking for a way to put a livecd iso onto a USB key in ubuntu, anyone know a way to do this? The OS I'm trying to put on the USB key is Android.
[04:48] <MaRk-I> Vovk: np and yw
[04:48] <zzzed> Barnabas, yes i had bridged mode when DSL 1st became available here, now in US most use PPPoE
[04:48] <sacarlson> asdf_baron: do you have this port 443 problem when you use the live boot cd in try mode?
[04:48] <Barnabas> xomp-ubuntu, unetbootin
[04:48] <Vovk> xomp you can do this with the startup disc creator iirc... or something like that lemme check. i think it's built in to the default install
[04:48] <dimz> Would Xen be the best choice to setup a virtual desktop for windows 7 for gaming?
[04:48] <dimz> or should I just rock wine?
[04:48] <xomp-ubuntu> Barnabas, cheers
[04:48] <smil3y> wiredvamp>  make sure that where you type your username in, below that you are using this server    scsa.msg.yahoo.com
[04:49] <wiredvamp> ok how do i check that?
[04:49] <cfedde> dimz: if you are serious about windows online games then you probably don't want to do it in emulation.
[04:49] <MaRk-I> smil3y: I still think he's logged in somewhere else... yahoo mail perhaps, has it's own lil chat thing in it
[04:49] <Funhouse> anyone else have issues getting VPN to work with 10.4?
[04:49] <Vovk> dimz what games are you going to play?
[04:49] <dimz> There is only two that I play css and tf2
[04:49] <Vovk> dimz I've had mixed results with tf2 on linux
[04:50] <asdf_baron> the annoying this is, traceroute for these websites which don't work in browser complete succesfully in terminal
[04:50] <dimz> i can give them up, i do not want to run windows on any comp ever again
[04:50] <gerald309> gotta a Netbook (windows) destroyed in corruption, no way to access in BIOS want 2 install....CONT'D
[04:50] <Vovk> it all depends on your setup. sometimes it runs smoother than windows and sometimes it's crap
[04:50] <smil3y> MaRk-I>  probbly.  i had the same problem last week, changed servers and it works fine now
[04:50] <Vovk> since css is the same engine i think it would be similar
[04:50] <gerald309> want 2 install Linux... any way to wipe the disk to install linux ?
[04:50] <Vovk> try to use wine to run TF2 and read all the howtos on how to tweak wine FOR tf2
[04:50] <cfedde> dimz: preserve a windows partition and dual boot when you're jonzing for the gamez
[04:50] <IanWizard> any pointers (the href kind ;) )  for how to set up a multiuser xorg system.  i.e.  me on display 0,  and another login screen on display 1, etc
[04:50] <Vovk> gerald309, easy. go thru the install process you'll see when you get to it
[04:50] <sacarlson> asdf_baron: if the boot cd works I think I would take a look at iptables
[04:50] <gerald309> can't access DOS (windows)
[04:51] <gerald309> ok thankx
[04:51] <Eclipsed> hi, I am using LUKS to encrypt a USB drive, how can I save the key someplace secure in case I need to reformat Ubuntu?
[04:51] <Vovk> gerald309, you have an option to wipe the disc clean in installation
[04:51] <boobsbr> Blue1: mounting the external drive manually with the 'async' option increased performance to 11 MB/s
[04:51] <dimz> i wont dual boot ever again
[04:51] <Vovk> dimz, lol i still dual boot
[04:51] <dimz> i am done with windows
[04:51] <gerald309> that is what i M looking for .... great
[04:51] <sacarlson> asdf_baron: also I would look at route
[04:51] <gerald309> did not know if possible i am reading
[04:51] <Vovk> dimz, i dual boot ubuntu and pirated windows 7 for 1 game
[04:51] <dimz> its cool, i will just game on my console
[04:51] <Vovk> SC2 :P
[04:51] <IanWizard> dimz: why?  I just set up a dual boot after years of pure Ubuntu
[04:51] <rww> !piracy
[04:52] <thune3> asdf_baron: even with -p 443 option?
[04:52] <Vovk> rww i'm not endorsing piracy
[04:52] <dimz> Oh it has nothing to do with my ability to set up a dual boot system
[04:52] <Vovk> i'm telling dimz my set up tho
[04:52] <dimz> that is easy
[04:52] <dimz> I just hate windows with a freaking passion
[04:52] <dimz> so i am boycotting them
[04:52] <asdf_baron> @thune3
[04:52] <asdf_baron> traceroute gmail.com -p 443
[04:52] <IanWizard> Vovk: still, you don't need to say it.
[04:53] <dimz> I was just curious about how VirtualBox runs
[04:53] <sacarlson> asdf_baron: what does the command route return?
[04:53] <asdf_baron> my iptables has no rules, straight up policy ACCEPT everywhere
[04:53] <dimz> * how smooth
[04:53] <Vovk> Virtualbox !good for gaming iirc
[04:53] <asdf_baron> a bunch of ip addresses and times
[04:53] <Vovk> since it has to create a virtual video card
[04:53] <asdf_baron> not quite sure what they mean
[04:53] <Vovk> i tried it a few years ago for starcraft 1 lol
[04:53] <asdf_baron> this is the final line:
[04:53] <asdf_baron> 12  pz-in-f18.1e100.net (<IP_ADDRESS>)  24 ms (TOS=0!)  20 ms  23 ms
[04:53] <IanWizard> dimz: pretty good, even better now that it's oracle
[04:53] <Vovk> but i hear it's gotten better
[04:53] <boobsbr> How can I change the automount settings for all USB drives from 'sync' to 'async'?
[04:53] <cfedde> dimz: the biggest problem with games is that they typicaly make lots of assumptions about access to the hardware.
[04:54] <Vovk> especially with intel's virtualization integration or whatever they call it
[04:54] <dmex> asdf_baron: did you try reinstalling using the command I gave you?
[04:54] <asdf_baron> so remove and install right
[04:54] <jen_h> asdf_baron: this is an old thread, but good, if you haven't seen it before: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=159661
[04:54] <Vovk> still if you have a copy of the OS that the game was programmed for
[04:54] <Vovk> you're going to have better results than an emulator or a VM
[04:54] <dimz> Yeah, games are not too big of a deal for me, just would have been nice. I am trying to get more into development and security pen so I shouldn't be wasting my time with them anyways
[04:54] <cfedde> dimz: Virtualbox and Xen will probably work.
[04:54] <Vovk> for TF2?
[04:55] <Vovk> i doubt they would do that
[04:55] <Vovk> maybe for AoE2....
[04:55] <cfedde> they both present idealized hardware.
[04:55] <sacarlson> asdf_baron: you should pastebin all the info and let us look at it,  ifconfig,  route, iptables -L -t nat --line-number, iptables -L
[04:55] <djrickkk> ALGUM BRASILEIRO AQUI?
[04:55] <asdf_baron> Yo dmex should i uninstall even though terminal tells me it's potentially harmful?  kindve an intimidating message
[04:55] <Vovk> asdf what?
[04:56] <cfedde> and so with a big enough multicore system with plenty of ram you might get reasonable game performance from a virtualized platform.
[04:56] <Vovk> ah iptables... i have no knowledge beyond basic stuff with iptables ;_; nvm
[04:56] <Vovk> cfedde that's just because you would be able to spare resources for an uber virtual CPU and video card
[04:56] <dmex> asdf_baron, yes
[04:56] <Vovk> cfedde, kind of brute-forcing it....
[04:56] <cfedde> Vovk: indeed.
[04:56] <cfedde> and you'll still be running windows.
[04:56] <xangua> !pt > djrickkk
[04:57] <dmex> sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8 ca-certificates
[04:57] <asdf_baron> k I'll pastebin all the info
[04:57] <sacarlson> asdf_baron: as I said before you should boot a live cd to verify you broke something on ubuntu first.
[04:57] <asdf_baron> then do what you told me
[04:57] <wiredvamp> gyache is missing some file for voice chat how do u get them?
[04:57] <asdf_baron> I clearly broke something considering it works on my other machines and worked before
[04:57] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: install w32codecs
[04:57] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all.  Would there happen to be one or more C++ programmers working with Eclipse on ubuntu that might be able to help me?  I realize that this isn't the right channel for programming questions, but the #eclipse channel and the ##c++ channel aren't active at all.
[04:57] <Vovk> cfedde, the thing is that your game would send commands to your guest windows OS, which would send commands to the virtual hardware, which would send commands to the VM, which would send commands to the Host OS, which would then send commands to your hardware... and then all the output would come back the same way
[04:57] <Vovk> it's a very long chain...
[04:57] <wiredvamp> and where do u install that?
[04:58] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: same way you installed gyachi........ search, select to install, click apply
[04:58] <Vovk> it's not bad when you're hosting a webserver or something... but rendering graphics is much more intensive, ya?
[04:58] <wiredvamp> ok ty
[04:59] <cfedde> Vovk: that's not exactly how hypervisors typicaly work. they don't so much emulate the hardware as use the CPU's virtualization features.
[04:59] <tantiv> How do I add a gnome autostart for all users?
[04:59] <Vovk> much better to cut as many middlemen as possible and go for a dual boot. think of the windows partition as a gaming console
[04:59] <boobsbr> How can I change the automount settings for all USB drives from 'sync' to 'async'?
[04:59] <UbuntuNoob> hey is there a force quit sort of option for programs or some sort of terminal command line for it? i installed blender and cant close it now
[04:59] <Vovk> cfedde, srry. i didn't know so much, it was my understanding that the hypervisor creates a virtual version of all required hardware for the guest to use?
[04:59] <wiredvamp> that didnt work
[04:59] <asdf_baron> right so pastebin apparently doesn't work
[05:00] <asdf_baron> as in... I hit submit and it hangs
[05:00] <sacarlson> boobsbr: I don't know how but I do know where, /etc/fstab  file
[05:00] <wiredvamp> i searched for it and nothing
[05:00] <zzzed> UbuntuNoob, open a terminal, type xkill, then click on the window you want killed
[05:00] <UbuntuNoob> right on thanks
[05:00] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I
[05:01] <H08b8> boobsbr: try this - http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/ubuntu-tips-and-tricks.htm
[05:01] <boobsbr> sacarlson: aren't the drives ins fstab the ones to be mounted on boot?
[05:01] <sacarlson> asdf_baron: well your here so move the file you created with a usb flash and pastebin it with that
[05:01] <Fudge> how do u check md5checksum of a iso on command line?
[05:02] <imnichol> I'm looking for a program that can act as a server for contacts, calendars, and tasks
[05:02] <sacarlson> boobsbr: yes
[05:02] <rww> Fudge: md5sum path/to/file.iso
[05:02] <asdf_baron> true
[05:02] <imnichol> Does anyone have any recommendations?
[05:02] <boobsbr> sacarlson: but my drive will not be connected all the time
[05:02] <zzzed> Fudge, md5sum -c yourmd5sumfilename
[05:02] <sacarlson> boobsbr: good point then I'm not sure
[05:02] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I that didnt work what now?
[05:02] <greezmunkey> pastebinit works: http://pastebin.com/AvU8ceYe
[05:03] <boobsbr> sacarlson: I only mount it from time to time to copy some stuff
[05:03] <hiku> boobsbr: this one looks better for usb automounting stuff. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/disable-linux-unix-gnome-automounting/
[05:03] <Fudge> ty rww
[05:03] <gerald309> ketch all on deh rebound ....havva good 1
[05:03] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: hhmm you need to download the tsp codecs, I have them if you want them
[05:03] <boobsbr> hiku: thanks
[05:03] <sacarlson> boobsbr: well you could write a script that unmouted and remounted it with async I guess
[05:04] <hiku> boobsbr: your welcome
[05:04] <boobsbr> H08b8: thanks
[05:04] <hiku> sacarlson: it's a gconf setting.
[05:04] <sacarlson> hiku: cool good call
[05:04] <hiku> sacarlson: =) google rocks
[05:04] <itsux2bu> whats gnome's highest res?
[05:05] <sacarlson> hiku: yes it does,  these people think I'm smart but all I normaly do is google it.
[05:05] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I that would be nice
[05:05] <ilovegoogleandub> itsux2bu: all depends on your video card and the drivers and the monitor connected
[05:05] <yondering> so I have a weird one.. already fixed but I'm puzzled at what would have caused it.  32-bit lucid installed on the box, with /home on /dev/sda6.  Duplicate, empty /home directory on /dev/sdb1 - with identical UUID.  Why?
[05:05] <hiku> scampbell: I use google about 30% of the time for most of the questions in here.
[05:06] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: just to make sure, you installed the w32codecs and still says you're missing them?
[05:06] <yondering> home partition rather.
[05:06] <UbuntuNoob> i need help finding my shared itunes music in rhythmbox how do i do that?
[05:06] <hiku> yondering: left over from old install?
[05:06] <yondering> hiku, I don't know.. could be.  What puzzles me is the duplicate UUID's. =/
[05:06] <jack> hi all
[05:06] <wiredvamp> i could find then at all how could i install then???
[05:07] <jack> i need a powerfull downloadmanger
[05:07] <hiku> yondering: yea that his puzzling. sorry bro, I don't have a clue
[05:07] <hiku> *is
[05:07] <ppman|lap> jack: for what?
[05:07] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: huh? did you or not?
[05:07] <UbuntuNoob> also i used xkill and clicked on the blender window and its still there
[05:07] <yondering> hiku, thanks anyway.. was an easy fix once I saw what happened, but I'm still trying to wrap my little brain around the how/why of it ;)
[05:07] <UbuntuNoob> and i uninstalled the software but it still has an open window
[05:07] <UbuntuNoob> maybe restart?
[05:08] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I i couldnt even find them
[05:08] <ppman|lap> UbuntuNoob: kill -9
[05:08] <Guest81678> i need a power full  download manger for my ubuntu 10.4
[05:08] <rooks> how to issue a safe system shutdown from commandline, when X is running with logged in user ?
[05:08] <zzzed> UbuntuNoob, just try logging out and back in
[05:08] <ppman|lap> if that doesn't work, you've got zombies
[05:08] <MaRk-I> !w32codecs | wiredvamp
[05:08] <hiku> yondering: yea that would drive me nuts too. =) good luck, and... if you do find out what happened, maybe you could post it on the forums just so the info is out there.
[05:08] <ppman|lap> so reboot is easiest
[05:08] <smil3y> wiredvamp>  you need to read this page, it explains howto install w32codecs
[05:08] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: see that page and follow instructions
[05:08] <smil3y> wiredvamp> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:09] <yondering> hiku, will do =]
[05:09] <smil3y> MaRk-I>   sorry, didnt see you sent it already
[05:09] <hiku> ok nite all, cya tomorrow.
[05:09] <MaRk-I> smil3y: lol it's ok like a backup to make sure eh
[05:10] <Guest81678> can anyone tell my where can i find a power full download manger for ubuntu plzzzzzz
[05:10] <dontput> anyone know a software of Linux that could do Image the whole System and restore it.. Like acronis?
[05:10] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: just remember voice only works in chatrooms not in private messages
[05:10] <boobsbr> H08b8: thanks
[05:10] <ppman|lap> dontput: ddrescue is nice for that
[05:10] <dontput> ppman|lap, all OS?
[05:10] <ppman|lap> or just regular tools like dd and cat and stuff
[05:11] <ppman|lap> you get just a disk image, so why not?
[05:11] <wiredvamp> y is that?????
[05:11] <dontput> tried the systemrescuecd but during an image copy it saves a huge amount of image ;(
[05:11] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: y is that??
[05:11] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: because that was the first think I told you, if you scroll up
[05:11] <MaRk-I> s/think/thing
[05:11] <dontput> ppman|lap, leme see on that
[05:12] <dontput> ppman|lap, brb
[05:12] <UbuntuNoob> log out and re log in fixed it, thanks
[05:12] <rooks> how to issue a safe system shutdown from commandline, when X is running with logged in user ?
[05:12] <xangua> Guest81678: i see jdownloader is quite popular, also if you use firefox you can integrate any download manager with flashgot addon
[05:12] <itsux2bu> 1680 x 1050  in windows vista host os.. NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT   i want full res..
[05:12] <shawncm217> is 'sudo alsa force-reload' the correct command to restart sound on 10.04?
[05:12] <UbuntuNoob> any ideas on the rhythmbox/itunes predicaments?
[05:12] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: i dont think u did
[05:12] <sacarlson> Guest81678: I use vuze but that's only good for download with torrents
[05:13] <drewdatrip> Anyone have a good resource to find Ubuntu 10.04 on a newsgroup server. The ftp or http download is relly slow for me
[05:13] <thune3> yondering: there are only two options really: that they were both set to same UUID at their independent creations, or you at one time you copied (dd for instance), from one partition to the other. (btw, UUID is a property of the filesystem)
[05:13] <Guest81678> jdownloader thx all i willtry it :)
[05:13] <xangua> what predicaments UbuntuNoob¿
[05:13] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: yes I did first thing I said... "only in chat rooms"  for voice
[05:14] <MaRk-I> drewdatrip: try torrent
[05:14] <UbuntuNoob> xangua, im trying to get my shared itunes music to appear in rhythmbox and i went to the connect to daap server or whatever it is and im not sure what to enter to make it work correctly
[05:14] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: i was talking about video calls
[05:14] <Aliselyn> is anyone here able to help me out with getting dialup running on my laptop with 10.04? I'm having some driver issues
[05:14] <yondering> thune3, thanks.. :)  I can't remember ever doing any of those, but no harm done.  This was a box that rarely (if ever) gets rebooted, and apparently it picked the empty /home partition today instead of the usual one.
[05:14] <ppman|lap> Aliselyn: what modem?
[05:15] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: I said.... webcam works and voice "only in chat rooms" so please dont make me repeat
[05:15] <Aliselyn> ppman|lap: CXT AC-Link Modem
[05:15] <thune3> yondering: there is a third option: that you were modifying UUIDs at one point (using tune2fs) and you accidently changed the wrong one too.
[05:15] <mek||malloc> I noticed there's a ~/.tilda/config_0 script for tilda... Is there a way to have screen automatically open within tilda upon startup?
[05:15] <purrdeta> Any reason opening programs would freeze the entire system for a few seconds while the program loads?
[05:15] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: i see
[05:16] <mek||malloc> purrdeta: Tons of reasons? It could have a high priority on your scheduler.
[05:16] <Rummage> Hello, I'm having trouble with what windows terms "Internet Connection Sharing", in that my ubuntu laptop is connected via an ethernet cable to my WinXP tower, which is in tern connected via modem to the internet. It worked for about five hours, but has suddenly ceased functioning and I cannot think of anything having been done which could have caused a problem.
[05:16] <purrdeta> hmm Well, this is a new install
[05:16] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: you want both, not yahoo try skype
[05:16] <smil3y> purrdeta>  you using compiz on a low powered system?
[05:16] <purrdeta> ooh perhaps. Let me check
[05:16] <mek||malloc> Rummage: Are you talking about some type of file server? Take a look at samba or nfs (both have great tutorials online)
[05:16] <yondering> thune3, that is a possibility I suppose.. I'm not the only one with access to this box in question.
[05:17] <mek||malloc> Rummage: If you right click on a directory while in the gnome desktop environment, you should be able to select 'share this file' or some such.
[05:17] <ppman|lap> Aliselyn: I'm not on ubuntu - got a package named ac97-modem?
[05:17] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: will video calls (cam and voice together) work in a im?
[05:17] <Rummage> No, that's not really what I'm on about.
[05:17] <smil3y> purrdeta>  does it even sometimes on my dualcore
[05:17] <purrdeta> system isnt that low but still
[05:17] <purrdeta> yeah
[05:17] <purrdeta> I turned "visual effects" to none
[05:17] <mek||malloc> Oh, you want your windows box to act as a router
[05:17] <purrdeta> I dont really need them.  Lets check if that helped
[05:17] <Aliselyn> ppman|lap: no, I do not
[05:18] <purrdeta> it did it seems
[05:18] <purrdeta> <3 smil3y
[05:18] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: just webcam no voice in IM
[05:18] <mek||malloc> Sorry*, Rummage: You want your windows machine to act as a routeR?
[05:18] <Rummage> Windows has this feature called Internet Connection sharing, where Computer B on a network, say LAN, can use computer A's internet connection.
[05:18] <smil3y> purrdeta>  np
[05:18] <Aliselyn> ppman|lap: should I get and install that?
[05:18] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: you talking about gyachi or skype?
[05:18] <yondering> thune3, although the primary users of said box are my retired parents, and well.. one has trouble finding the caps lock key, and the other is just discovering the wonders of google earth.. I can't imagine either of them playing with tune2fs or dd o_0
[05:18] <mek||malloc> Rummage: I wouldn't trust windows for anything. Especially networking. I suggest asking the windows folks.
[05:18] <ppman|lap> no, because apparently they opened a sourceforge project and didn't do anything
[05:18] <itsux2bu> my monitor and NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT  vid card can do 1680 x 1050 in windows.. i want to get 64-bit ubuntu desktop to the same res level.. how do i go about doing that?
[05:18] <Rummage> I'm betting windows is at fault, but I still can't figure out why it would quit suddenly with no changes.
[05:19] <Rummage> I mean, I actually managed to use it to update Synaptic and install VLC :\
[05:19] <mek||malloc> Rummage: I don't know why you're asking a car mechanic to fix your broken television set.
[05:19] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: ok i am looking for a program that will do both in i an im not just vid
[05:20] <imnichol> Holy crap, I'm failing hard in my quest to find a caldav server for ubuntu
[05:20] <Rummage> Because there are car mechanics around, and the TV repairman show's up days late and with terrible advice.
[05:20] <denysonique> itsux2bu, your resolution is not available in settings riht?
[05:20] <denysonique> right
[05:20] <jshsu|alt> i just upgraded to lucid from karmic, and my usb wasn't working, added an AutoAddDevice False to my xorg, and got mouse working, but keyboard isn't, any help?
[05:20] <denysonique> Rummage, stay on topic
[05:20] <Blue1> is there an m4v player (podcast player) for ubuntu?
[05:20] <mek||malloc> Rummage: Fine, fair enough. My suggestion is to format that windows machine and but some flavor of GNU Linux on it.
[05:20] <thune3> yondering: a fourth option would involve a split raid-1 array, but that would be tough.... The ususal reason of this UUID issue is copying of a partition (perhaps during a partition move).
[05:20] <zzzed> Rummage, did you try rebooting your windoze box?
[05:20] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: that will work with yahoo im or something like logitech Vid
[05:20] <denysonique> Blue1, mplayer, vlc should be able to play that
[05:21] <Rummage> zzzed: It looks like that's my only recourse.
[05:21] <Blue1> denysonique: okay let me try vlc thanks.
[05:21] <mek||malloc> Rummage: You haven't tried restarting the machine?...
[05:21] <denysonique> Blue1, np
[05:21] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: skype, no
[05:21] <Rummage> mek: It's a thing of last resort, as you may be familiar, windows machines are terribly ornery when it comes to rebooting.
[05:21] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: that will not cost me to use
[05:21] <yondering> thune3, it's been a while, I could've copied the partition at one time or other.
[05:22] <mek||malloc> Rummage: I think that's the first thing I'd retry.
[05:22] <Rummage> Well, see, it takes longer to reboot than it has taken to ascertain that's the only idea we've got here.
[05:22] <mek||malloc> Rummage: Either that or ipconfig /release all and then try to renew your network information
[05:22] <Rummage> Thanks anyhow.
[05:22] <itsux2bu> denysonique, yes.. 800 x 600 is higghest it will currently go
[05:22] <g0tcha> hey guys, where is the repo list saved in ubuntu server 10.04? /etc/apt/source.list is empty here
[05:22] <MaRk-I> wiredvamp: skype is free when you call another skype user, dont know which one you refer too
[05:23] <Blue1> denysonique: thanks
[05:23] <wiredvamp> MaRk-I: could we talk in a im?
[05:23] <sacarlson> g0tcha: that sounds like the correct place
[05:23] <g0tcha> sacarlson, ah so its normal for it to be empty like this? i just open it and add what i want there?

[05:25] <mek||malloc> Anyone know the process for modifying either ~/.tilda/config_0  or some other config script for tilda in order to make screen automatically open within tilda upon startup?
[05:25] <g0tcha> thanks sacarlson
[05:26] <mek||malloc> I should really just be using stumpwm...
[05:27] <denysonique> MaRk-I, From your expression I understood that wiredvamp is a software
[05:27] <UbuntuNoob> xangua: any ideas?
[05:27] <wiredvamp> it is not a software
[05:27] <MaRk-I> denysonique: no the software was skype, the user I sent the info is.... wiredvamp
[05:27] <wiredvamp> it is my nickname
[05:28] <denysonique> MaRk-I, have you ever programmed?

[05:29] <denysonique> MaRk-I, What you have written was: Skype is not better than wiredvamp

[05:39] <skumara> Ologn, how to move grub from sda1 to let say sda6?
[05:39] <denysonique> UbuntuNoob, I wouldn't be suprprised if Apple had the ability to delete any song from your iTunes. For example if they thought your music was illegal.
[05:40] <Ologn> skumara: grub-install /dev/sda6
[05:40] <UbuntuNoob> denysonique: what do you mean proprietary software?
[05:40] <_pg_> denysonique, paranoid much?
[05:40] <Ologn> skumaraq: Read the man page for grub-install
[05:40] <denysonique> _pg_, Amazon already done things like that with its Kindle
[05:40] <boobsbr> wow, my read speeds seem horrible
[05:40] <Ologn> skumara: Also read the update-grub man page as well...but a privileged user who does grub-install /dev/sda6 should do it
[05:41] <_pg_> denysonique, Apple loves it's customers and would not do anything that drastic to violoate their trust
[05:41] <boobsbr> copying a file from one directory to another on the same partition averages 7 MB/s
[05:41] <boobsbr> wth is wrong with my setup?
[05:41] <Ologn> skumara: Be careful doing it...because making a mistake with Grub can be a real pain

[05:45] <Need4Feed> and you are talking to it
[05:45] <_pg_> Dasda, nvidia geforce 5200- lol but hardware drivers usually finds it
[05:45] <Jordan_U> skumara: You almost never want to install grub to a partition boot record, instead you should install grub to the master boot record (mbr).
[05:45] <boobsbr> DasEi: just did that, cached reads @ 3202.41 MB/sec, buffered reads @ 101.01 MB/sec
[05:45] <Need4Feed> _pg_ that should be the 73 or 85 driver?
[05:45] <Need4Feed> they'll be in synaptic
[05:45] <DasEi> _pg_: yes, that should work with jockey-gtk, but can also manually do it
[05:45] <boobsbr> DasEi: are these normal speeds?
[05:46] <skumara> Jordan_U, the problem is my mbr is in sda1 which has a spoiled version of ubuntu. i want to recover that space now. but my current grub is installed there.
[05:46] <_pg_> Need4Feed, DasEi yeah im not really intelligent at all. I just know that ive used "hardware drivers" app in the past and on this install that app doesnt find any drivers and performance is lacking without them
[05:46] <DasEi> boobsbr: no new counts from  last given commands;; 7MB/s.. depends on hardware normaol for old ide on crypted hd maybe
[05:46] <Need4Feed> sudo apt-get install yum_yums
[05:47] <_pg_> Need4Feed, yum yums @ me?
[05:47] <DasEi> _pg_: sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk
[05:47] <_pg_> Dasda, what does this do?
[05:47] <Need4Feed> _pg_, no sir, my belly
[05:48] <Jordan_U> skumara: The mbr is the first sector of the disk, it cannot by definition be "in sda1".
[05:48] <_pg_> Dasda, Need4Feed well should i do yum or jockey? what even are those?
[05:48] <DasEi> _pg_: nick is DasEi, it's just that thingy , case it's not installed (Hardwaredrivers)
[05:48] <sacarlson> _pg_:  I'm sure you tried System>aministration>hardware drivers ?
[05:48] <Need4Feed> _pg_, Jockey
[05:48] <_pg_> sacarlson, yes; it finds nothing
[05:49] <skumara> Jordan_U, when i do fdisk -l my sda1 start with number 1. it must the mbr isn't it?
[05:49] <DasEi> _pg_: Need4Fe.. is just joking
[05:49] <boobsbr> DasEi: my drive is not encrypted, it's a sata2 drive from western digital, and it is connected on AHCI
[05:49] <Need4Feed> _pg_ yums are for me, jockey is an application that finds drivers for your hardware.
[05:49] <Ologn> The first 512 bytes is the MBR.  It is not part of a disk partition.
[05:49] <DasEi> boobsbr: erm, that's too slow then, tired hdparm with / without cache ?
[05:49] <Jordan_U> skumara: No, the mbr is sector 0. So you want "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" .
[05:49] <DasEi> tried*
[05:49] <_pg_> Need4Feed, ahhh ok-apparently i need to wait until synaptic is done anyway
[05:50] <_pg_> i feel your grub pain skumara
[05:50] <Need4Feed> _pg_, Need4Feed= Hungry
[05:50] <DasEi> boobsbr: sudo hdparm -T /dev/sda1_OrWhateverParti
[05:50] <skumara> Jordan_U, so grub is in mbr the first 512 bytes. than sda1 is my boot device, is it?
[05:51] <_pg_> Need4Feed, Ah. well go get some internal destruction fast food. on me.
[05:51] <skumara> thanks _pg_
[05:51] <Jordan_U> skumara: There are two different parts of grub, there is the part installed to the mbr (or partition boot record) and the parts stored in the filesystem (within your Ubuntu partition, the files in /boot/grub).
[05:51] <Ologn> skumara: no.  Think of it as the MBR being sda0, even though it is not designated that way
[05:51] <DasEi> _pg_: so was already installed ?
[05:51] <boobsbr> DasEi: Timing buffered disk reads:  294 MB in  3.00 seconds =  97.90 MB/sec / Timing cached reads:   6506 MB in  2.00 seconds = 3254.33 MB/sec
[05:52] <_pg_> DasEi, im not sure. i need to let synaptic finish i gues before i can jockey it up
[05:52] <DasEi> boobsbr: that's fine and normal, fs corrupt ?
[05:52] <Need4Feed> _pg_, lol
[05:52] <boobsbr> DasEi: it doesn't seem corrupt, ran fsck before booting and it went ok
[05:52] <boobsbr> DasEi: it's ext3 btw
[05:53] <Jordan_U> skumara: What you need to make sure of is that the mbr portion will look for the rest of the files in the correct partition. So you want to run grub-install from within the Ubuntu installation that you plan to keep, and the parameter that you pass to grub install will be "/dev/sda".
[05:53] <_pg_> welll synaptic is not going to finish anytime soon. so i will see you chaps later. thatnks for thje tip about that jockey. he sure is a trickster
[05:53] <DasEi> boobsbr: try a copy with rsync -P
[05:53] <skumara> Jordan_U, Ologn if i want want format my sda1, the grub will still be in mbr, i need to just grub update after format sda1 so that on next reboot i can boot from ubuntu 2. is it right?
[05:54] <DasEi> skumara: yes
[05:54] <boobsbr> DasEi: ok, brb
[05:54] <AndroidBruce> could anyone tell me how to get X running via SSH
[05:55] <Ologn> skumara: Yes.  You can install-grub, which will go into the first 512 bytes of your disk.  /dev/sda1 probably starts at the 513th byte and goes on.  Formatting sda1 will not affect grub or the MBR.
[05:55] <Jordan_U> skumara: The command "update-grub" only changes a single file, /boot/grub/grub.cfg. If the mbr portion of grub is looking in the wrong partition (in this case one that will no longer exist) then it won't even get far enough to read /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[05:55] <DasEi> AndroidBruce: sure
[05:56] <AndroidBruce> DasEi, i would like to access some applications GUI when i log in via ssh
[05:56] <DasEi> AndroidBruce: configure /etc/ssh/sshd_config properly and then ssh in by : ssh -X UserName@IPaddress
[05:56] <AndroidBruce> configuring /etc/ssh/sshd_config properly consists of?
[05:56] <prince_jammys> enabling X forwarding
[05:57] <Jordan_U> skumara: So what you need to do is  1: Boot into the Ubuntu installation you plan to keep  2: From there run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" 3: Delete the Ubuntu install you no longer want using gparted from a LiveCD
[05:57] <boobsbr> DasEi: copying a 4 GB file with rsync -P within the same partition yields ~5 MB/s
[05:57] <AndroidBruce> this what it looks like now http://pastie.org/1109194
[05:58] <DasEi> boobsbr: maybe cache (ram) not enabled ?
[05:58] <boobsbr> DasEi: how can I check that?
[05:58] <skumara> Jordan_U, why i need gparted. i can format from the the ubuntu i want using system>administration>disk utility
[05:58] <DasEi> AndroidBruce: is enabled by default, but apart from it go through this one essential config file to learn ssh
[05:59] <Jordan_U> AndroidBruce: With a default Ubuntu config "ssh -X" should work.
[05:59] <mondragon> Does anyone know what rules to remove from the default UFW config to enable multicast (and potentially what other rules to add...)?
[05:59] <AndroidBruce> DasEi, Jordan_U thanks fellas
[05:59] <thune3> boobsbr: just guessing: maybe you have sync enabled on the drive mount? check appropriate line in "mount" output.
[05:59] <Jordan_U> AndroidBruce: You're welcome.
[06:00] <rww> mondragon: the default ufw configuration doesn't block anything, as far as I know :\
[06:00] <mondragon> rww: the default input policy is drop...
[06:00] <mondragon> I mean, ufw is disabled by default, but if you enable it
[06:00] <rww> mondragon: then it wouldn't be default, would it ;)

[06:01] <mondragon> well, ufw isn't running by default in the OS...but the default ufw config is to drop
[06:01] <Jordan_U> skumara: You won't be able to resize the Ubuntu partition to make use of the free space while you are booted from that partition (if that's what you plan to do).
[06:01] <DasEi> boobsbr: sudo hdparm -W /dev/sda  or whatever
[06:01] <Jordan_U> AndroidBruce: Run a GUI application.
[06:01] <skumara> oh i see the point Jordan_U
[06:01] <prince_jammys> AndroidBruce: you don't. you just run programs, and the windows are rendered on your end.
[06:02] <AndroidBruce> could this be done from a windows machine?
[06:02] <boobsbr> thune3: can't any sync/async options on mtab and fstab
[06:02] <MarkSS> If someone has 3 different partitions on their hard drive...is it possible to see the other two while logged into one?
[06:02] <DasEi> !putty | AndroidBruce
[06:02] <prince_jammys> AndroidBruce: yes, if the windows machine has X installed.
[06:02] <AndroidBruce> ahh i see i see ok
[06:02] <AndroidBruce> so the machine renders the gui using the X is currently has natively
[06:02] <skumara> i'm happy i finally understand grub better.
[06:03] <Jordan_U> MarkSS: Yes, and it's a very common thing to do.
[06:03] <KE1HA> bazhang:  Have an update for you on Grub2 & ISO's
[06:03] <DasEi> AndroidBruce: yes
[06:03] <boobsbr> DasEi: write-caching =  1 (on)
[06:03] <MarkSS> Crap!  All this time I have been telling others I have been teaching Linux to that it is impossible.  Gah!  How do I prevent it?
[06:04] <DasEi> boobsbr: idk then, maybe look in syslog, that shall be least 30, more 60 then 7
[06:05] <MarkSS> Is being able to see what is in other partitions a security hazard?
[06:05] <abhijit> can i tell rythmbox to directly start playing selected radio when i run rythmbox?
[06:05] <DasEi> MarkSS: no
[06:05] <Jordan_U> MarkSS: It depends on why you want to prevent it. If there are files that you personally don't want people to see then you may want to use an encrypted home directory.
[06:06] <boobsbr> DasEi: didn't understand that last bit. 30, 60, 7 what?
[06:06] <MarkSS> How do I encrypt my home directory?
[06:06] <DasEi> boobsbr: mb / s
[06:07] <Jordan_U> MarkSS: First I think it would be good to confirm that you actually need an encrypted home directory. Are you going to be allowing people to have physical access to your computer without your supervision?
[06:07] <MarkSS> Yep and they complete idiots
[06:07] <DasEi> MarkSS: better anencrypted container you just mount offline
[06:08] <boobsbr> DasEi: oh, ok. well, syslog isn't listing anything in the last hour or so, except for a hourly cron job.
[06:08] <yardleydobon> My calculator is missing buttons and some of the buttons have the wrong text. http://jethomson.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/gcalctool_sci.png
[06:08] <yardleydobon> How can I fix this?
[06:08] <Jordan_U> MarkSS: *AND* are there files on the computer that are very sensitive, like credit card numbers?
[06:08] <Need4Feed> MarkSS, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory or open the menu and go to System> Administration> Users and Groups and create a new account with an encrypted /home
[06:08] <MarkSS> Nah, nothing that sensitive
[06:08] <Th3Count> I cannot seem to find the answer to my problem on the community forums, i am sure it is an easy fix and common problem. I have just install ubuntu (dual-boot) with windows 7 previously existing. Grub does not launch i do not have an OS selector, just defaults to windows 7
[06:08] <DasEi> boobsbr: iostat, anything else eating bandwith of the drive ?
[06:09] <Jordan_U> MarkSS: Then I would recommend you just log into the guest account before giving them access to the computer.
[06:09] <yardleydobon> Th3Count: sounds like you should reinstall grub.
[06:09] <Need4Feed> +1 on using the Guest Session
[06:09] <boobsbr> DasEi: how do I check iostat? this is a fresh install, as far as I know there's nothing else accessing the HD
[06:09] <sacarlson> MarkSS: well in nautilus you can just right click and select encrypt but I guess that would work on your entire /home/ dir or would it?
[06:09] <DasEi> MarkSS: or set up a vm with a backup and let them in that sandbox
[06:10] <jono> folks, this is a little off topic, but I just wanted to ask you folks to tweet/dent about this guy who had his kids kidnapped - I blogged it on Planet Ubuntu at http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/08/23/help-colin-get-his-kids-back/
[06:10] <DasEi> boobsbr: sudo apt-get install iostat && iostat
[06:10] <MarkSS> Define sandbox
[06:11] <MarkSS> hack proof?
[06:11] <xangua> jono: if you know that then why do you do it¿
[06:11] <boobsbr> DasEi: apt doesn't find the package
[06:11] <thune3> boobsbr: i believe iostat is in sysstat package.
[06:11] <boobsbr> ok
[06:12] <DasEi> MarkSS: idiotproof, it's like a pc in pc, case things mess up, can always have a (virtaul) hd-backup, and the system is isolated from the host-system
[06:12] <jono> xangua, eh?
[06:12] <Th3Count> yardleydobon: i am currently running on the live disc, and have gone into the package manager removed and added grub. Grub consantly fails install "Grub has failed to install on device /dev/sda"
[06:12] <boobsbr> thune3: how do I make sense of the iostat output?
[06:13] <DasEi> thune3: sysstat , yes, thx
[06:13] <yardleydobon> Th3Count: First mount the partition that has boot on it. Can you do that?
[06:13] <DasEi> boobsbr: you can see if other aps are making the hd busy

[06:18] <codygman> Does anyone know how to get an intel graphics card doing dual monitors? Is there a specific driver needed?
[06:18] <remote> codygman, you need to configure it
[06:18] <AndrewMC> pehden: In right click add to panel it isn't there??
[06:18] <jamiewan> running lucid on a macbook pro, webcam has just decided to stop, all fine yesterday, but nothing today anyone?
[06:18] <codygman> remote: can you give me any direction on how to do that or any resources?
[06:18] <yardleydobon> Th3count: In the CLI use grub-install --root-directory /mnt/sdan. Where sdan is the mounted partition that has boot on it.
[06:18] <boobsbr> DasEi, thune3: iostat says:  tps=174.18         MB_read/s=3.87         MB_wrtn/s=1.46      MB_read=38254      MB_wrtn=14476
[06:18] <pehden> its not in the list to add to the panel its installed so im like wth
[06:19] <DasEi> boobsbr: iostat -md sdc 1 for current, as thune3 mentioned
[06:19] <pehden> andrewmc its not in the list to add to the panel its installed so im like wth
[06:19] <remote> codygman, google for "dual monitor ubuntu"
[06:19] <Jordan_U> codygman: It should work out of the box, configurable from System > Preferences > Monitors. I assume that it isn't for you though of you wouldn't be asking :)
[06:19] <abhijit> codygman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[06:19] <DasEi> boobsbr: and se the right device for sdc

[06:20] <pietime_> which package will automatically detect your nvidia hardware/
[06:21] <sacarlson> pietime_: jockey-gtk
[06:21] <pehden> what is the required programs to get this to work
[06:21] <DasEi> boobsbr: if you just "idle" that's too much, no apt, P2P or other loads up ?
[06:21] <Jordan_U> pehden: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[06:22] <sacarlson> pietime_: it seems to be installed by default see System>administration>Hardware Drivers.  you might want to upgrade the package if there is a newer one.
[06:22] <pehden> the only option in there is for the vid card
[06:22] <DasEi> pehden: gnome-network-manager
[06:23] <codygman> in the forum post about setting up dual monitors it says to backup/edit your xorg.conf. I don't have one, should I make it?
[06:23] <boobsbr> DasEi, nothing else running except bash and xchat.
[06:23] <Jordan_U> pietime_: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers

[06:24] <DasEi> codygman: in default, xorg.conf is non existant/empty since karmic
[06:24] <Jordan_U> pietime_: Define "from scratch".
[06:24] <codygman> ok thanks DasEi
[06:24] <pehden> that makes it run
[06:25] <pehden> what do i need to restart
[06:25] <DasEi> codygman: all went to kernel and upstart, but can still configure and use/create xorg.conf
[06:26] <pehden> damn thanks for all the help im still not sure how this happed but that got it running
[06:26] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all.  Does anyone know how to grep for lines that don't have a pattern in them?

[06:29] <prayii> xangua: I haven't even done anything on my laptop for the last few months. Just regular updates. And now it doesnt work. Worked fine since 10.04 release until now.
[06:30] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: i figured i'd ask if it was a common problem before I force anything :P
[06:30] <Jordan_U> SeanInSeattle: regex

[06:30] <DasEi> CodeWeaver:sda2 ? sure ??
[06:31] <Jordan_U> CodeWeaver: Is it a windows "dynamic disk"?
[06:31] <miststlkr> using an asus M4A87TD EVO motherboard to set up a raid array and can't figure out how to access it once the OS boots up.  presumably I have to mount it like any other drive, but what do I mount??
[06:31] <CodeWeaver> hm..
[06:31] <SeanInSeattle> Jordan_U:  Cool, thx for confirming that.
[06:31] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: that is a possibility
[06:31] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: i will check that, brb
[06:31] <xangua> prayii: did you install another flash plugin¿ like swfdec, spark or gnash
[06:31] <DasEi> CodeWeaver:if its an external and the 2nd harddrive on that box, prbly /dev/sdb1
[06:31] <ryfixing> i removed the other open source players and reinstalled the adobe one using apt get

[06:31] <Jordan_U> SeanInSeattle: You're welcome.
[06:32] <ryfixing> its still a little unstable, but ithink its radeon driver related

[06:59] <sajish_> hi S4ry
[07:00] <erry> I just went to tty1 and back and now the sound is gone
[07:00] <S4ry> sajish_, Hey :)
[07:01] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: http://imgur.com/6Eu7P.png
[07:01] <CodeWeaver> weird?
[07:03] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: seems to have some probs, as you can say can read in windows.. did you run a fs-check under windows on it ? seems parttiontable isn't in order no more
[07:03] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: yep its perfectly fine in windows :-/ i guess its time to go crazy with the windows utilities haha
[07:04] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: thanks for your help "_
[07:04] <CodeWeaver> :)
[07:04] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: try a chkdsk and a defrag
[07:04] <boobsbr> DasEi: messages in http://pastebin.com/9TJY9Lzn    syslog in http://pastebin.com/36c3BzDx    and dmesg in http://pastebin.com/RVB8jVZG
[07:06] <DasEi> boobsbr: ah ja..
[07:06] <boobsbr> DasEi: what?
[07:06] <DasEi> boobsbr: sudo umount /dev/sdb1
[07:06] <rooks> how to issue a safe system shutdown from commandline when ssh'ed into desktop, when X is running with logged in user, so all documents will be autosaved and all goodnes of equivalent of shutting system from gui will happen ? like waiting to save all unsaved documents?
[07:06] <boobsbr> DasEi: ok, unmounte
[07:06] <DasEi> boobsbr: sudo e2fsck /dev/sdbq
[07:06] <DasEi> boobsbr: sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1
[07:07] <S4ry> How can i become an ubuntu member  .. to have ubuntu/S4ry on my cloak
[07:07] <boobsbr> DasEi: ok, this is gonna take a while.
[07:07] <DasEi> boobsbr: check for sata-mode in bios, seems you got an irq problem
[07:08] <DasEi> boobsbr: nvm, let it run
[07:08] <gogeta> rooks sudo halt
[07:08] <abhijit> !member | S4ry
[07:08] <gogeta> rooks that will tell the system to shutdown
[07:08] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: could GPT have anything to do with it?
[07:09] <DasEi> gogeta: shutdown invokes halt, it's about autosave of gedit and such
[07:09] <erry> :(
[07:09] <S4ry> abhijit, :)
[07:09] <rooks> gogeta, thats not what i asked for
[07:09] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: yes, maybe paket/module not installed, does the drive use it ?
[07:09] <boobsbr> DasEi: couldn't find a sata mode in my bios, but it has a RAID mode option which lists IDE, AHCI and RAID. I have AHCI selected.
[07:09] <erry> i restarted my pc while dling a torrent and now it s stuck at veryfying data
[07:09] <erry> is it lost??
[07:09] <gogeta> DasEi: session saving should do that
[07:09] <erry> cant i continue dling?
[07:09] <DasEi> gogeta: via ssh
[07:09] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: that is the only drive with GPT, the other two are MBR and work fine
[07:10] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: ideas on fix?
[07:10] <gogeta> DasEi: why not it gets invoked then you send the halt command
[07:11] <boobsbr> DasEi: System > Administration > Disk Utiliy list my intenal HD as connected through SATA, cdrom through IDE and external hd through USB
[07:11] <rubydiamond> anybody know how to set last listened song at last.fm as empathy status
[07:11] <gogeta> DasEi: of course not saving any gedits when you wanna shutdown is just foollish abyways
[07:11] <gogeta> anyways
[07:11] <boobsbr> DasEi: anyways, fsck is still running... pass 1
[07:11] <gogeta> rooks: do you mwan hibernate mode rather then shutdown
[07:11] <gogeta> mean
[07:12] <erry> please
[07:12] <erry> it took me 2 days to get so far
[07:12] <gogeta> rooks: that saveseverything even running apps
[07:12] <erry> dont make me restart it
[07:12] <erry> :/
[07:12] <rooks> gogeta, i mean gui shutdown, that asks to save documents
[07:12] <FloodBot3> erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:13] <gogeta> rooks sound slike hibernate
[07:13] <rooks> gogeta, i have nfsroot, i dont have hibernate
[07:13] <gogeta> like
[07:13] <gogeta> oh
[07:13] <thune3> rooks: you are expecting a user interaction from the desktop?
[07:13] <rooks> gogeta, you dont have any idea what are you talking about...
[07:13] <rooks> thune3, only when necessary
[07:13] <DasEi> boobsbr: try ide-mode in bios
[07:13] <gogeta> rookd nice now i wont bother to find out
[07:13] <gogeta> good job
[07:14] <rooks> thune3, i wnat to be able to remotely shutdown my desktop from my laptop, whe im lying on the bed :) and i want it to go smooth, unless i have some unsaved work i forgot on some virtual desktop that is out of sight
[07:14] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: I just had to read it up, it's little tricky, it seems:
[07:15] <S4ry> abhijit, Well that doesn't look easy :)
[07:15] <boobsbr> DasEi: had tried IDE previously and speeds were also slow, tried changing it to AHCI tonite just to see if they'd improve
[07:15] <ryfixing> where's xorg.conf in ubuntu lucid.. is there a such thing or am i off my roxker?
[07:15] <wers> how do I remove all packages from a PPA? ppa-purge is okay, but I also want to remove packages that don't have counterparts from other PPAs or repos
[07:15] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: yep :(
[07:15] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: gpt is not by default in kernel, though gparted can create tables on a gpt drive. that would lead to recompiling kernel, before lets try sth. else :
[07:15] <timh____> where in the filesystem is Trash located?
[07:16] <DasEi> !trash
[07:16] <wers> ppa-purge just downgrades, but doesn't uninstall packages
[07:16] <dontput> ppman|lap, still there?
[07:16] <Jordan_U> DasEi: That's incorrect. Ubuntu's kernel supports GPT just fine.
[07:16] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: sudo apt-get install gptsync
[07:16] <thune3> rooks: i can't think of a way to do what you are asking for exactly, i would recommend a remotedesktop/vnc from laptop so you can close the desktop from the "front door" so to speak.
[07:17] <rooks> thune3, yeah, well, but it too patchy for me :)
[07:17] <dontput> anyways, is there anyway i can do Disk Cloning ?
[07:17] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: done.
[07:18] <thune3> rooks: patchy?
[07:18] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: sudo hdparm -z /dev/sdb
[07:18] <rooks> thune3, k, thx anyway, i guess ill go for forums :) im off to sleep now
[07:18] <DasEi> dontput: yes, see man dd
[07:18] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: "re-reading partition table" .. done
[07:19] <rooks> thune3, yes, too much extra unnecessary work
[07:19] <Jordan_U> CodeWeaver: You shouldn't need gptsync, in fact I would recommend against using it.
[07:19] <rooks> anyway, nn
[07:19] <thune3> rooks: good luck "shut down only if an no app has something to save" is not simple.
[07:19] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: not sure what else to do  lol
[07:19] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: sudo blkid, is the ntfs of sdb1 shown now ?
[07:20] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: nope :(
[07:20] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: sdc and sdd
[07:20] <gcny> 大家好我是第一次来这里请多多指教
[07:20] <DasEi> Jordan_U: gparted didn't see the table, and redhat had it in default, whreas debian coming with it is new to me
[07:20] <Jordan_U> !cn | gcny
[07:21] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: you're on an up-to-date lucid ?
[07:21] <CodeWeaver> yes
[07:21] <Jordan_U> DasEi: With the number of > 2 TB drives now available not including GPT support would be unnacceptable.
[07:22] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: my other two drives are not GPT. do you know if a fairly easy way to convert GPT to MBR?
[07:22] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: another fact is syslog complains about ahci a lot, so setting to ide and boot with option ahci=off is next try then
[07:23] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: ah kernel update, only thing sitting in queue. il do that right now and let you know if it fixed it
[07:23] <Jordan_U> CodeWeaver: Can you try installing gdisk and checking what it says about the partition table? "sudo apt-get install gdisk; sudo gdisk /dev/sdb"
[07:23] <arundracula> Need help on xsensors
[07:23] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:23] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: sure
[07:24] <arundracula> what does k8temp and atk0110 mean in xsensors?
[07:24] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: "Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT."
[07:24] <DasEi> arundracula: modules for reading temp-sensors of motherboard
[07:24] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: "Caution: invalid main GPT header, but valid backup; regenerating main header from backup!"
[07:24] <DasEi> ahahrr
[07:25] <CodeWeaver> wonder if that fixed it...
[07:25] <Jordan_U> CodeWeaver: That sounds promising. Note that gdisk doesn't actually change anything on disk untill you explicitly write with "w".
[07:25] <CodeWeaver> ah.
[07:25] <arundracula> My CPU temp is showing 95C when starting up the PC even after the full night turned off
[07:25] <arundracula> in BIOS and atk0110.
[07:25] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: so i just type "w", quit, then reboot?
[07:26] <Jordan_U> CodeWeaver: Yes, you may not even need to reboot.
[07:26] <arundracula> But in k8temp there are core0 and core1 shows 47C.
[07:26] <CodeWeaver> k, written
[07:26] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: sudo hdparm -z /dev/sdb
[07:27] <adityavpratap> Hello
[07:27] <DasEi> CodeWeaver: and also run the update/grade
[07:27] <CodeWeaver> Jordan_U: omy it worked!!!! woohoo!!! <3
[07:27] <CodeWeaver> DasEi: thanks for your help as well :)
[07:27] <Jordan_U> CodeWeaver: :)
[07:27] <adityavpratap> I upgraded to Maverick today and now my Xserver is broken
[07:27] <DasEi> Jordan_U: :)
[07:27] <CodeWeaver> media center server back in business
[07:27] <CodeWeaver> thanks guys
[07:27] <olskolirc> im back on intrepid :-(
[07:28] <olskolirc> someone say my name i need colors :-(
[07:28] <billy> arundracula: at 95C the cpu is dead - believe k8temp - it sounds reasonable - alarms are on I hope?
[07:28] <adityavpratap> When I boot into my laptop, I am presented with a text interface
[07:28] <adityavpratap> instead of graphical mode
[07:28] <DasEi> olskolirc:
[07:28] <adityavpratap> Intel GMA 4500M card
[07:28] <abhijit> S4ry, yah :)
[07:29] <olskolirc> thanks DasEi
[07:29] <thune3> arundracula: a cpu could get that hot in a couple seconds with no heatsink. The options are: 1)reading incorrect 2)small heatsink with no airflow 3)heatsink not contacting case properly.  I suspect 1.
[07:29] <adityavpratap> can anyone suggest a way out?
[07:29] <DasEi> adityavpratap: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg && sudo service gdm restart
[07:30] <Jordan_U> adityavpratap: Is this a fresh install or was it working previously?
[07:30] <adityavpratap> yes, i tried dpkg-reconfigure, but to no avail
[07:30] <arundracula> BIOS showing 95C, but in k8temp each core around 47C. CPU heatsink is not so hot. I already re-applied the compound.
[07:30] <adityavpratap> It was working on my previous install of 10.04
[07:30] <adityavpratap> I upgraded yesterday
[07:30] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
[07:31] <DasEi> arundracula: say when in
[07:31] <adityavpratap> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't give any output.
[07:31] <well_laid_lawn> adityavpratap: you should ask in #ubuntu+1 maybe
[07:31] <pie_time> is xev a safe command?
[07:31] <DasEi> adityavpratap: that's k
[07:32] <adityavpratap> Oh!
[07:32] <Jordan_U> pie_time: Yes.
[07:32] <arundracula> lm-sensors already installed
[07:32] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo sensors-detect
[07:32] <well_laid_lawn> pie_time: I use xev to find out about keyboard stuff
[07:32] <olskolirc> hey how can i go from Intrepid to Karmic bypassing the Jaunty upgrade - anyone?
[07:32] <DasEi> arundracula: lots of enter..
[07:33] <viking667> olskolirc: I'm not sure if that's exactly wise
[07:33] <DasEi> arundracula: don't write to modules now, finish detection
[07:33] <olskolirc> ok viking667 thanks
[07:33] <rww> olskolirc: there isn't a supported way of doing that
[07:34] <DasEi> arundracula: basically hit enter still it's done, see the section cut here ?
[07:34] <arundracula> yes
[07:35] <yondering> better question, why go from intrepid to karmik when lucid is available?
[07:35] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo modprobe blah54whatever  (first line of section)
[07:35] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo modprobe blah54whatever  (second line of section, and so on)
[07:36] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools start
[07:36] <arundracula> wait
[07:36] <DasEi> arundracula: yes
[07:37] <arundracula> After that full list after ENTER, there are two things, Driver it87 and Driver k8temp autoloaded
[07:37] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo modprobe it87
[07:38] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo modprobe k8temp
[07:38] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools start
[07:38] <DasEi> arundracula: sensors
[07:38] <arundracula> Error inserting it87
[07:38] <arundracula> Device or resource busy
[07:39] <DasEi> arundracula: possible, as it said autoloaded, just proceed
[07:39] <arundracula> the k8temp was autoloaded
[07:40] <arundracula> So now sudo etc/init.d/module-init-tools start
[07:41] <boobsbr> DasEi: fsck still running, but I need to go, gotta work tomorrow and it's almost 4am over here. I'll leave the computer on, and check back tomorrow after work.
[07:41] <boobsbr> DasEi: thanks for your help.
[07:41] <boobsbr> thune3: thanks for your help
[07:41] <DasEi> boobsbr: keep alive, see you later
[07:41] <viking667> hm. Where do I find the list of locales that need rebuilding when the locales package gets upgraded?
[07:42] <DasEi> viking667: apt-cache depends
[07:42] <viking667> hrm.
[07:42] <viking667> I'll look at that. Thank you.
[07:43] <arundracula> It said use the service module-init-tools start
[07:43] <arundracula> start
[07:43] <DasEi> arundracula: sensors       <<more realistic values
[07:43] <DasEi> ?
[07:44] <arundracula> In that k8temp shows, two Core0 Temp and two Core1 Temp. All are normal temps
[07:44] <arundracula> But in ACPI, it shows CPU Temp 95C
[07:44] <viking667> hm. Nope, doesn't seem to show what I want. just shows what packages it depends on, what it conflicts with and what it replaces.
[07:45] <arundracula> I think the temp sensor is faulty, because AMD K8 will be showing the correct values, right?
[07:46] <arundracula> OK, thank you.
[07:46] <DasEi> arundracula: sudo apt-get innstall sensors-applet
[07:47] <thune3> arundracula: i'm confused as to whether sensors is now showing sane values
[07:47] <DasEi> arunTAB, gnarf, still havent filtered the wrong ones in modules..kk
[07:52] <`Xander`> any1 here not afk?
[07:52] <bennym> Me
[07:52] <`Xander`> <--ubuntu newbie :D
[07:52] <erry> can i download all the ubuntu updates from another OS, or install an already updated version of ubunut?
[07:52] <erry> i need to updat it, but it's impossible since the internet wont work
[07:53] <`Xander`> i think you have to download the whole thing erry
[07:53] <`Xander`> but if your running ubuntu there would be an update manager
[07:53] <erry> `Xander`, yes byut ui want an updated version
[07:53] <SwedeMike> erry: you can put updates in /var/cache/apt/archives
[07:53] <erry> `Xander`, read what i said: internwet wont work
[07:53] <erry> yeah but how
[07:54] <`Xander`> oh sorry
[07:54] <itsux2bu> *nix filenames/directories are case sensitive?
[07:54] <bennym> erry: There might be a way to get Synaptic to save the list of marked updates. Open that list on an internet enabled computer, save the archives, move them back to the un-updated one.
[07:54] <SwedeMike> erry: get the same version you already have, update it, then copy the contents of that dir from that machine to your other machine.
[07:54] <bennym> itsux2bu: Yes, very case sensitive.
[07:54] <itsux2bu> x11 is diff than X11
[07:55] <erry> um
[07:55] <erry> that doesnt seem easy :(
[07:55] <bennym> itsux2bu: Yeah, that's what case-sensitive means :P
[07:56] <itsux2bu> ok.. back to my cp command
[07:57] <erry> :(
[07:57] <thune3> erry: the common recommendation here is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/APTonCD , but i've never used it and don't know how it works
[07:58] <erry> thune3, can i do this on a usb instead of a cd?
[07:58] <itsux2bu> to make the -al automatic i create an alias?  or is there another method?  ls -al
[07:59] <Jordan_U> !offline | erry
[08:00] <thune3> itsux2bu: alias is only way I know
[08:00] <erry> Jordan_U, the problem is i have no idea which packages i need
[08:00] <suresh> hi .. i recently did a fresh install .. i need google earth but it says its not available in apt-get .. how do i update all my sources and repositories?
[08:00] <Jordan_U> erry: Synaptic has an option to update all packages
[08:00] <ikonia> erry: what happened to stop the internet working ?
[08:00] <ikonia> erry: you suggested it was working, now it's not
[08:00] <yardleydobon> erry: the problem is is that you have to update your lists of new packages
[08:00] <bennym> I'm going to burn a 700 MB iso (ubuntu 8.04 LTS) to a 4.5 GB DVD. Suggestions for the spare space?
[08:00] <erry> ikonia, i never said it was
[08:00] <itsux2bu> do aliases get saved at halt or reboot?
[08:00] <erry> ikonia, i've been having a wirless prob with this laptop forever
[08:00] <ikonia> erry: you said you where downloading a torrent, that suggests it was working
[08:01] <erry> ikonia, the one i reported a bug for and everyone ignored it
[08:01] <erry> ikonia, that was on another pc
[08:01] <ikonia> erry: another ubuntu PC ?
[08:01] <yardleydobon> erry: you can copy /var/lib/apt/lists from an up to date computer
[08:01] <erry> yes
[08:01] <erry> ikonia, i'm thinking updating the other computer might fix wireless
[08:01] <yardleydobon> erry: then use synaptic to mark all upgrades and generate a download list
[08:01] <ikonia> erry: I think that's wishful thinking
[08:01] <erry> mv,
[08:02] <erry> nvm*
[08:02] <erry> lemme get my ether net cord ><
[08:02] <DrTinker> i have ubuntu insytalled alongsude windows help?xp, had to reinstall windows, now cannot access ubuntu...
[08:02] <ikonia> erry: have you considered using a wired connection to get the updats
[08:02] <ikonia> updates
[08:02] <erry> ikonia, yeah thats what im trying to do now
[08:02] <erry> if i find the cable
[08:02] <ikonia> erry: then seeing if your laptop works, rather than going around the houses for long solutions that may not work
[08:03] <erry> things are never therer whbhen you need them, are they?
[08:03] <lili1> hi. i want to compile a kernel, then compile iptables. i saarched but i dont fine dependency for iptables on ubuntu 10.4.
[08:03] <lili1> plz help me
[08:03] <ikonia> lili1: why do you want to do this ?
[08:04] <DrTinker> i have ubuntu insytalled alongsude windows help?xp, had to reinstall windows, now cannot access ubuntu...help?
[08:04] <ikonia> lili1: iptables is already part of the ubuntu stock kernel, whats the issue with it
[08:04] <ikonia> !grub2 > DrTinker
[08:04] <lili1> ikonia: my teacher ssaied mee to do it.
[08:04] <erry> lili1, i want to go to your school
[08:04] <ikonia> lili1: then your teacher is wrong, you should not be compiling a kernel on ubuntu without a good reason as it will break compatibility
[08:05] <lili1> ikonia:  yes.
[08:05] <lili1> ikonia:  kernel 2.6 and 2.4 dont need for it.
[08:05] <suresh> hi .. i recently did a fresh install .. i need google earth but it says its not available in apt-get ..
[08:05] <ikonia> lili1: you can't use a 2.4 kernel
[08:05] <ikonia> lili1: stick with the ubuntu stock kernel
[08:05] <bennym> DrTinker: Do you understand how bootloaders work?
[08:05] <lili1> ikonia:  my teacher want that i learn iptables from base
[08:05] <suresh> how do i update my repositories?
[08:05] <ikonia> lili1: then you don't need to compile a kernel to learn iptables
[08:06] <lili1> ikonia: i'm downloding kernel 2.6.35 now
[08:06] <erry> suresh, sudo apt-get update, however i think you need to cdownload the google earth installer from google itself
[08:06] <lili1> ikonia:  what do i?
[08:06] <ikonia> lili1: custom kernels are not supported in this channel, even less so when there is no reason for it
[08:07] <lili1> ikonia: i dont see
[08:07] <ikonia> lili1: customer compiling kernels is not supported in this channel, from my point of view less so when you are doing it for no reason at all
[08:07] <lili1> ikonia:  ok. for make a firewall with iptables what i do?
[08:07] <thune3> DrTinker: you can reinstall grub into mbr from livecd. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[08:08] <ikonia> lili1: join #netfilter and ask for a guide on iptables
[08:08] <lili> ikonia:  ok tnx a lot.

[08:18] <thune3> vk5fsks_scott: maybe this? http://kaffeine.kde.org/?q=faq#question11
[08:19] <reeniginEesreveR> where is the kernel file actually located?
[08:19] <ikonia>  /boot
[08:20] <vk5fsks_scott> thune3, not to sound rude but those menus dont exist
[08:20] <thune3> vk5fsks_scott: ok, i thought that faq might be kde3 era, but there must be something similar
[08:21] <vk5fsks_scott> there's not
[08:21] <vk5fsks_scott> its wierd
[08:21] <codygman> I'm trying to follow this tutorial: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-setup-dual-monitors-with-xrandr/2009/06/01 but I don't have an xorg.conf.
[08:22] <thesyko> guys, i would like to ask
[08:22] <thesyko> i'm using ubuntu 10.04
[08:22] <thesyko> why is my /etc/network/interfaces empty?
[08:23] <erry2> how much time does it take to install 4 months' worth of updates? :p
[08:23] <thesyko> it has only 2 lines which says auto lo
[08:23] <thesyko> iface lo inet loopback
[08:23] <Newa> codygman: do you see the other monitor in system - preferences - monitors
[08:23] <thune3> vk5fsks_scott: i'm saying that there must be an av sync somewhere in the menus, preferences, engine settings. .....
[08:23] <codygman> Newa: Nope, I don't see it at all.
[08:23] <rww> erry2: depends on your computer. mine took under an hour last time I did it
[08:23] <thesyko> btw i'm using ubuntu 10.04 desktop
[08:23] <erry2> rww: well im sitting on the floor next to the router cause i couldn't find a longer cable :(
[08:24] <erry2> not very pleasant
[08:24] <vk5fsks_scott> theres no engine settings..... nothing
[08:24] <vk5fsks_scott> unless im missing a package
[08:25] <erry2> i think ill go inside and come back in an hour
[08:25] <rxd> how do i disable welcome gui screen in 10.04
[08:25] <ikonia> erry2: we don't need a running commentary please.
[08:25] <erry2> sorry ikonia
[08:27] <carbonunit> rxd go to ubuntu software center and download startup manager
[08:27] <thune3> vk5fsks_scott: i hate to sound daft: is there a "player" menu? does that "player" menu have a "video" submenu?
[08:27] <erry2> ikonia: it seems to have stopped downloading, it says unpacking package blabla would it be safe to disconnect?
[08:27] <codygman> Newa: Also I have an intel Integrated graphics card.
[08:27] <rxd> carbonunit: thank u
[08:27] <carbonunit> np
[08:28] <thune3> vk5fsks_scott: i don't have kubuntu or the disk space to install kaffeine, so I'm trying to figure this out from googling.

[08:29] <vk5fsks_scott> in there I have stuff about deinterlace and aspect ratio
[08:29] <vk5fsks_scott> no, no video settings
[08:29] <vk5fsks_scott> under configure kaffeine all I have is short skip and long skip duration
[08:31] <thune3> vk5fsks_scott: is there a "video settings" under a "config" topmenu item?

[08:36] <Newa> codygman: sorry for the delay, getting ready for work. Are you sure your card has dual ramdacs and can display on several monitors?
[08:36] <vk5fsks_scott> thune3, I linked my kaffeine above
[08:37] <codygman> Newa: not sure, it works on vista though.
[08:37] <Newa> that's good enough

[08:40] <dsdeiz> hi! any suggestions on how to recover deleted files? i was about to use extundelete although i need to unmount the device first.. and unfortunately it is where the os is stored :-(
[08:40] <Network_Junkie> sounds familliar
[08:41] <vk5fsks_scott> thune3, all it is is Configure Shortcuts
[08:41] <red2kic> !undelete | dsdeiz
[08:41] <vk5fsks_scott> and Configure Kaffeine
[08:41] <dsdeiz> on ext4 fs btw
[08:41] <Newa> codygman: here's something.. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-and-intel-video-chipsets.html
[08:42] <vk5fsks_scott> under Configure Kaffeine all there is is the long skip and short skip duration window
[08:42] <itsux2bu> can't even get the first instruction to work.. there is no xorg.conf file..   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[08:42] <Network_Junkie> for data recovery use testdisk.  sudo apt-get install testdisk
[08:43] <dsdeiz> Network_Junkie, installing it now
[08:43] <Network_Junkie> watch this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGAgpl77Vmc
[08:44] <Newa> codygman: the reason you don't have a xorg.conf is that's the default. lucid uses kernel probing to figure out your connected monitors and their available resolutions
[08:44] <Newa> hmmh
[08:45] <Network_Junkie> not sure if it'll work if you use it from the same computer
[08:45] <dsdeiz> hm, testdisk doesn't seem to support ext4
[08:45] <Network_Junkie> it did work when trying to recover files from an external drive i had

[08:49] <Newa> itsux2bu: I once did it when the monitor probing failed and I wouldn't get decent resolutions. Created an xorg.conf with the monitor vertical and horizontal refresh rates, it fixed the issue

[08:50] <carbonunit> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Is there a way to write metadata to mp4 video files?

[08:51] <carbonunit> Thanks guys
[08:51] <Network_Junkie> "keyboard shortcuts"...i haven't ever needed to that but that's where i'd try first

[09:02] <ginbuntu> coz_, the wireless settings
[09:02] <itsux2bu> newa, that the one i tried to do.. but don't have the file it suggests i edit..
[09:02] <coz_> ginbuntu,  oh  ok ..,mmm... I am not familiar with that part of it
[09:02] <pie_time> coz_, no

[09:04] <pie_time> coz_, i have no idea, i built the system from the bottom up and am still near the bottom
[09:04] <Newa> itsux2bu: you can create it.
[09:04] <coz_> pie_time,  ah ok...well I believe lxde is still gtk based  like gnome....I would guess there is a keyboard shortcuts dialog that will allow you to choose
[09:05] <itsux2bu> put one in the plus column for windows.. and a minus in ubunu's column
[09:05] <Newa> it overrides the auto-detected settings that would otherwise be used
[09:05] <pie_time> coz_, what package should i download?
[09:05] <crunchbang> hi guys
[09:05] <coz_> pie_time,  that one I am not sure of   did you check in #lxde channel?
[09:06] <coz_> pie_time,  or maybe  #lubuntu
[09:06] <reeniginEesreveR> could someone plz tell me where the kernel fiels are placed?
[09:06] <thune3> itsux2bu: i don't have answer, but you're issue is: ubuntu isn't running at desired resolution in a vista hosted vm?
[09:06] <pie_time> coz_, i've tried #lubuntu

[09:07] <coz_> pie_time,  i am not familiar enough with lxde to help with this issue  although there will be someone that can at some point today
[09:07] <Network_Junkie> pie_time> try xbindkeys
[09:07] <itsux2bu> ubuntu can't do what windows does easily
[09:07] <coz_> pie_time,  I am also going on no sleep and it is now just after 4am here
[09:07] <dmex> itsux2bu: you must install the guest editions
[09:08] <itsux2bu> i did
[09:08] <coz_> Network_Junkie,  ah  for some reason that didnt come to mind :)
[09:08] <itsux2bu> dmex
[09:08] <dmex> using the ./LinuxX86 command from terminal?
[09:08] <coz_> ok guys.... its after 4am here  ... I need sleep...be nice ...do well...share what you know  :)
[09:08] <Newa> itsux2bu: as I said, you can create the xorg.conf file if it doesn't exist and put the relevant settings there to override autodetected ones
[09:08] <itsux2bu> that got me from 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768
[09:09] <itsux2bu> ok..

[09:10] <tgywa> Hi
[09:10] <tgywa> How do I know which configuration file is being used by SSH?
[09:11] <tgywa> How do I know which configuration file is being used by SSH???
[09:11] <Newa> off to eat and work -->
[09:11] <ginbuntu> how do u connect a device (usb) to a vm running windows in Virtualbox?
[09:11] <tgywa> is it /etc/ssh/ssh_config or what ....?
[09:11] <Network_Junkie> ginubuntu
[09:11] <Network_Junkie> i know how
[09:12] <Network_Junkie> which distro are you using>
[09:12] <ginbuntu> Network_Junkie, ubuntu
[09:12] <geirha> tgywa: That's the ssh client's config.
[09:12] <Network_Junkie> which version?
[09:12] <dmex> itsux2bu: did you install the editions using sudo /media/VBOXADDITIONS_3.2.8_64453/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run ?
[09:12] <ginbuntu> Network_Junkie, ubuntu 10.04
[09:12] <tgywa> geirha, so which one is being used by the daemon?
[09:13] <geirha> tgywa: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[09:13] <Network_Junkie> should work automatically, have you tried enabling it in the settings
[09:13] <ginbuntu> Network_Junkie, no, it does not work in 10.04
[09:14] <tgywa> geirha, thanks a lot !!!
[09:14] <Network_Junkie> try this then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB
[09:15] <ginbuntu> Note: Only the non-free version has USB support at present.
[09:15] <ginbuntu> I have the free version :(
[09:16] <dmex> virtualbox has usb support in the free edition
[09:16] <ginbuntu> dmex, where do you set it?
[09:16] <Network_Junkie> now did you install virtual box through synaptic or add/remove?
[09:16] <ginbuntu> using apt-get
[09:17] <Network_Junkie> you need to download and install the .deb from virtualbox's website.  that version has usb support
[09:17] <Network_Junkie> i know 'cuz i had to
[09:17] <Network_Junkie> :(
[09:18] <Network_Junkie> the one in the ubuntu repository doesn't have usb support for somereason
[09:18] <SiNUX> Network_Junkie, I also downloaded that .deb but it didn't had support for usb
[09:18] <Network_Junkie> don't know ehy
[09:18] <Network_Junkie> hmm...i have support
[09:19] <ginbuntu> Network_Junkie, if I download from their website, then do Ihave to build the kernel module myself?
[09:19] <dmex> ginbuntu: under the settings for a selected VM (not virtualbox settings) goto USB and enable the controller, you then add the filters for the devices you would like to use, then once your VM is enabled click the USB icon down the bottom right to enable a selected usb device

[09:41] <Ologn> swifty: This might be the problem...
[09:41] <Ologn> swifty: Let's say you're running ssh or scp and connecting to a new host...
[09:41] <Ologn> swifty: If you're in an interactive terminal (tty), you may be asked if you want to cache the remote host's key...
[09:42] <Ologn> swifty: But if you are not ssh'ing or scp'ing from an interactive terminal, you can't see that question and it fails
[09:42] <Abueleitor> some one knows something like jails -from bsd- but in linux?

[09:43] <erUSUL> Abueleitor: lxc -- linux containers
[09:43] <Ologn> swifty: Try connecting to the remote host like this "ssh -v swifty@remotehost".  If it asks if you want to cache the key, say yes.  You may not even have to log in.  Then try again the way you're doing and see if it works.
[09:43] <erUSUL> Abueleitor: or OpenVz maybe
[09:43] <abhijit> suresh, make it executable chmod +X ./googleearth.bin
[09:43] <abhijit> suresh, then do ./googlearth.bin and it will start intsallatino
[09:43] <Ologn> You might also try "ssh-keyscan -t rsa1,rsa,dsa localhost >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts" instead of the way I said

[09:50] <carbonunit> thank you
[09:50] <littlepenguin> np
[09:52] <tristan_> Alrighty, I have a problem. Unmuting Alsamixer mutes my sound preferences simultaneously, and vice versa. No matter what I do, one (and only one) of them is muted, and I can't hear any sound coming out of the system. All other possible causes of this have been verified to work properly.
[09:52] <tristan_> How do I fix this?
[09:53] <suresh> abhijit: its installing .. thanks
[09:53] <abhijit> suresh, yah
[09:53] <abhijit> suresh, is your lucid 64 bit?>
[09:54] <suresh> abhijit: no i just installed this the 32 bit yesterday .. am a noob :)
[09:55] <sacarlson> tristan_: try pastbin the return of  sudo lshw  so we have an idea what you are working with. add to that the contents of uname -a
[09:55] <abhijit> suresh, good. :D :P
[09:55] <suresh> abhijit: the program installed but it crashed when i ran it says google earth has a bug
[09:55] <abhijit> suresh, you are talking about the current installatino? the one we did just now?
[09:56] <tristan_> How does one pastebin something?
[09:56] <thune3> tristan_: 10.04 has some buggy pulse stuff out of the box, stuff that got fixed with updates. Are you current on updates?
[09:56] <ginbuntu> is there an utility to scan a range of lan ip's and give me a list of all ip's that are alive?
[09:56] <abhijit> Tristam, uname -a | pastebinit
[09:56] <abhijit> tristan_, like the one above ^^
[09:56] <littlepenguin> ginbuntu zenmap
[09:56] <littlepenguin> gui fpr nmap
[09:56] <littlepenguin> for
[09:57] <tristan_> I did just install some updates, but I didn't reboot. Ima try that now. Brb.
[09:57] <suresh> abhijit: yeah .. it installed but when i ran it crashed . says it has a bug ... then it didnt show up in my programs menu thing imtrying to run it thru shell again but cant
[09:57] <ginbuntu> littlepenguin, what do I enter in the target field if I want to scan a range?
[09:58] <abhijit> sacarlson, can you help him? he is having that famous bug of crshing gearth?
[09:58] <littlepenguin> fe you want to scan from <IP_ADDRESS> -254
[09:58] <sacarlson> tristan_: also good to know if you tried a live boot cd with the same problem
[09:58] <littlepenguin> ginbuntu, <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[09:58] <abhijit> sacarlson, have you downloaded the .bin of gearth ? or somethign else?
[09:59] <ginbuntu> I used <IP_ADDRESS>/24 and it sais Invalid target host
[09:59] <littlepenguin> mom
[09:59] <sacarlson> abhijit:  I got it direct from google
[09:59] <sacarlson> abhijit: I think it was a deb file
[09:59] <abhijit> sacarlson, means? is it .deb? i dont understand what is direct from google?
[09:59] <abhijit> sacarlson, can we also get it from google? how?
[09:59] <sweetandy> Is it a bad idea to compile a program for /usr, and not /usr/local?
[10:00] <abhijit> sacarlson, i just done apt-get search and found that there is one gearth package to build .deb of gearth
[10:00] <littlepenguin> ginbuntu, it works here..
[10:00] <abhijit> sacarlson, should i install that?
[10:00] <ginbuntu> nmap -T4 -F <IP_ADDRESS>-254
[10:00] <ginbuntu> got it
[10:01] <littlepenguin> ok in commandline
[10:01] <littlepenguin> thought you do it per gui
[10:01] <Hals> is this the support chan?
[10:01] <ginbuntu> littlepenguin, it works now,
[10:01] <ginbuntu> maybe a bug in Zenmap
[10:02] <abhijit> hey is there any vnstat gui?

My vm my compiz all storts of strange things. I tryed to enable the drivers but it fails when i do an apt-get update the two drivers dont work
[10:09] <inflex> hi there, I'm wanting to control my wireless-broadband-3G USB dongle connection in Ubuntu 10.04 from a NON-gnome desktop, does anyone know the name of the program that I can run to connect/disconnect/edit the wireless-broadband settings (it's the one that sits on the top-task-bar)
[10:09] <inflex> (running fluxbox)
[10:09] <littlepenguin> in a vm? normally you have emulated hardware depends on emulation software..
[10:09] <littlepenguin> @inflex
[10:10] <NightTail> no its outside the vm
[10:10] <NightTail> but its trickling so badly i cant figure out where the issue lies
[10:10] <littlepenguin> sry NightTail i meant
[10:10] <littlepenguin> are glxgears working?
[10:10] <inflex> littlepenguin: no no, it runs fine if I'm logged in using the GNOME desktop, I'm trying to manage it though from a Fluxbox session
[10:11] <littlepenguin> inflex wicd could handle this
[10:11] <inflex> ok
[10:11]  * inflex installs
[10:11] <abhijit> hey
[10:11] <NightTail> ahoy
[10:12] <murlidhar> can anyone lighten me a few console fonts that i could use in tty0-6 ?
[10:12] <abhijit> i just installed the package googleearth-pacakge but i cant found it? where it gone?
[10:12] <murlidhar> abhijit: terminal doesn't autocomplete it ?
[10:12] <abhijit> murlidhar, no
[10:13] <murlidhar> hmmm
[10:13] <viking667> type in "googleearth"
[10:13] <viking667> better still, check what this says:  dpkg -L googleearth
[10:14] <sacarlson> inflex: I'm not sure since you don't have gnome but network-manager seems to have support for stuf like that,  just right click>edit connection in drop down menu
[10:14] <murlidhar> can anyone lighten me a few console fonts that i could use in tty0-6 ?
[10:14] <abhijit> viking667, murlidhar sacarlson suresh hey breaking news!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gearth is working in my lucid 64bit??? or is it that it works for 1st time and after taht dont? :( let me test
[10:14] <murlidhar> won't know
[10:14] <murlidhar> never used it.
[10:15]  * viking667 shrugs.
[10:15] <erUSUL> murlidhar: i like terminus
[10:15] <viking667> Works fine for me here on 32-bit machine, so I don't worry too much about 64-bit until I have to.
[10:15] <abhijit> OMG!!! its running!!!!!!!!! hey listen suresh its working :D :D :D
[10:15] <abhijit> working on mhy 64 bit lucd!!! :D :D :D :D
[10:16] <murlidhar> erUSUL: yes it is good but always better to have a few choices to pick up :)
[10:16] <sacarlson> abhijit: seems the old 5.1 worked but new 5.2 has a problem, so if you find or have 5.1 I guess you ok. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/earth/thread?tid=5da393653cabeeb0&hl=en
[10:16] <viking667> abhijit: congratulations
[10:16] <abhijit> viking667, thanks :D
[10:16] <viking667> sacarlson: uff. Darn.

[10:17] <abhijit> sacarlson, mine is <IP_ADDRESS>7
[10:17] <callipygous> I'm trying to help a friend out who is using ubuntu.  The wireless all of a sudden stopped working, when going up to the applet, the network "OPTUS" is there, but it is greyed out and cannot be selected.  So far as I know, the user didn't do anything to cause this, it just happened.  Any ideas?
[10:18] <jimcooncat> new install (old user!), graphics not working except failsafeX, reconfigure wizard of no help. Can you?
[10:18] <murlidhar> abhijit: btw did you get the internet working on your friend's desktop or lappy whatever it is ?
[10:18] <abhijit> murlidhar, i am not gone there yet. i wll go after some time
[10:18] <murlidhar> okiez
[10:18] <murlidhar> i gotta go now.... cya laterz.
[10:18] <murlidhar> take cares
[10:18] <murlidhar> bye all
[10:19] <nogo> except me
[10:19] <abhijit> murlidhar, ok :(
[10:19] <erUSUL> callipygous: what wifi chip does she have ? if you run « iwconfig » wlan0 appears there ?
[10:20] <sacarlson> callipygous: I assume it's a privlige problem try System>administration>Users and groups  make sure the box is checked
[10:20] <callipygous> erUSUL: I'm not at the computer at the moment to run that, but I remember on a different machine I ran in to the same trouble - it was blacklisted somewhere or the network was turned off in a config file
[10:21] <nogo> i guess, all are fine but just can't use the internet
[10:21] <nogo> for a while
[10:21] <erUSUL> callipygous: blacklists are in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf files ( "grep -R blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/" should tell you )
[10:21] <suresh> abhijit: wierd thing .. it installed with tons of errors and then it crashed .. but now i found the icon in app/internet and clicked it and google earth works
[10:22] <erUSUL> callipygous: without more info is hard to help
[10:22] <callipygous> erUSUL: agreed
[10:22] <abhijit> suresh, :D
[10:22] <callipygous> I'll have to ssh in to it somehow
[10:22] <abhijit> suresh, glad to know!!!
[10:22] <nogo> ssh?
[10:22] <callipygous> to administer it
[10:28] <callipygous> okkies
[10:28] <North_Italian69> How to close all incoming ports? My Ubuntu has  10 ope ports wih runing service that i dont want at all
[10:28] <erUSUL> !ufw | North_Italian69
[10:29] <viking667> Find the services that have those ports open.  "sudo netstat -pan | less" will tell you the processes.
[10:29] <rww> sudo ufw enable
[10:29] <viking667> It's up to you to decide if you want to stop those services
[10:29] <rww> who cares what's opening ports if iptables is blocking them
[10:29] <rww> but yeah, viking667 has the more rigorous route :)
[10:30] <ari-tczew> does anyone know whether can I install package from another release using $ apt-get install ?
[10:30] <erUSUL> ari-tczew: no; you can not
[10:30] <ari-tczew> I have maverick and I want to install package from karmic, is it possible through apt-get?
[10:30] <erUSUL> ari-tczew: karmic questions go in #ubuntu+1 btw
[10:30] <erUSUL> ari-tczew: maveric questions go in #ubuntu+1 btw
[10:31] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: you can look at the return of this command sudo netstat -pant  and kill the process that you don't want or need.
[10:31] <rww> ari-tczew: mixing packages from different versions of Ubuntu isn't supported by this channel
[10:31] <jimcooncat> new install (old user!), graphics not working except failsafeX, reconfigure wizard of no help. Can you?
[10:31] <rww> you tend to end up in dependency hell. dependency hell is bad.
[10:32] <Boreum> Hello, is there a way to auto detect my second grafics cards? It is not shown in nvidia-settings.
[10:33] <North_Italian69> sacarlson: if i kill them next boot they still working again
[10:33] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: find out what package they are and uninstall them or modify boot to not start them
[10:35] <jimcooncat> how to reconfigure X from command line?
[10:35] <sacarlson> jimcooncat: the display?   keyboard?  mouse?  look in System>preferences
[10:36] <North_Italian69> sacarlson: now i undrstand why debian is the more secure. i made nmap on my Ubuntu default on all ports from a Debian in my lan. after i done the same to Debian default. result no one port open ...
[10:36] <sacarlson> jimcooncat: oh command line I forget but there is a way
[10:36] <abhijit>  !xorg | jimcooncat
[10:36] <littlepenguin> jimcooncat, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:36] <NightTail1> grr
[10:37] <jimcooncat> thanks guys. It was working in older version. I now ran across a wiki article X/KernelModeSetting
[10:37] <jimcooncat> littlepenguin: I'll try that, can't make it worse than it is!
[10:37] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: only ports I have open are the ones I created except maybe cups,  not sure what you installed or what you have running
[10:37] <North_Italian69> sacarlson: sorry, but i don't accept that a service open ports w/o my permission. this is a very stupid policy from Ubuntu, Canonica or whaever
[10:38] <ARGGG>  http://radio.supertorrents.org:8000/listen.pls free live stream get your vlc out and jam with us
[10:38] <littlepenguin> when arch tells me its i686 then its 32 bit or 64 bit??
[10:38] <erUSUL> littlepenguin: 32
[10:38] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: oh maybe your browser has more than one window open and so have some more ports open?
[10:39] <jimcooncat> littlepenguin: no response from your command
[10:39] <littlepenguin> NightTail1 just installed the ati drivers for 32 bit and it says its not compatible with kernel..
[10:39] <North_Italian69> try this command. im sure that all of you are full of listening ports netstat -l -t -u -p -e
[10:39] <North_Italian69> netstat -l -t -u -p -e
[10:39] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: what application are these so called ports comming from?
[10:39] <littlepenguin> jimcooncat, when done as sudo it rewrites the config file for xserver
[10:40] <North_Italian69> sacarlson: would yo lke a pastebin?
[10:40] <littlepenguin> North_Italian69, or netstat -tulpen
[10:40] <jimcooncat> littlepenguin: I'm at a root command prompt, it did not give me any output, just back to the cli
[10:40] <littlepenguin> jimcooncat, does startx start the gui?
[10:41] <jimcooncat> littlepenguin: yes, but unreadable. failsafeX works
[10:41] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: sure pastebin it
[10:42] <littlepenguin> jimcooncat what grafics have you configured?
[10:42] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: but I like this format better sudo netstat -pant
[10:43] <jimcooncat> littlepenguin: unknown, I'd be glad to find out. Fresh install. Was working in older version.
[10:43] <Swedenfarang> Hi guys, Im in a big need of help! im completely new to ubuntu and it proved too difficult for me. I would like to uninstall Ubuntu  and reinstall Windows 7 ... but I did not manage to remove ubuntu. I installed ubuntu on a blank machine.. Thanks.
[10:43] <littlepenguin> jimcooncat, lspci check vga controller
[10:43] <jimcooncat> littlepenguin: this is an older Fujitsu laptop
[10:43] <jimcooncat> k
[10:43] <littlepenguin> SwedeMike, just install windows 7 and format hdd when installing
[10:44] <littlepenguin> Swedenfarang,
[10:44] <littlepenguin> i meant
[10:44] <sacarlson> Swedenfarang: if you don't need any files on the system  just delete all the partitions before you install windows,  window should do it for you.
[10:44] <Swedenfarang> littlepenguin: thanks...but it wont boot from installation cd
[10:44] <North_Italian69> sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/WMS3wyEX
[10:45] <littlepenguin> have you set cd as first boot device?
[10:45] <jimcooncat> littlepenguin: Intel 82852
[10:45] <disown> anyone know how to trace getaddrinfo? My Terminal Server Client seems to be redirected after login to another hostname which it cannot resolv, and all I get is 'getaadrinfo: Name or Service not known'. Need to debug...
[10:45] <Swedenfarang> i tried to access bios to set boot order...but cant find the way to do it. Im totally new to linux and Ubuntu..
[10:45] <umc> gotta love ubuntu... comming from a mandriva install (which isn't bad, but rumors of bankruptcy don't confort me), but ubuntu works excellent. wifi just works, my multifunctional printer just works (it didn't even install drivers for it), scanning just works). changed the window buttons to the right, feels more natural. are there any nice themes that you recommend ?
[10:46] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: for one thing I don't see an appache2 server so why is mysqld running?
[10:46] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: dnsmasq  you must have installed that not that it's a bad thing
[10:46] <abhijit> umc, http://www.bisigi-project.org/?lang=en
[10:47] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: sshd  you also installed that
[10:47] <mun> I'm running gnome, could someone suggest a colour calibration tool?
[10:47] <littlepenguin> jimcooncat, http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9240296
[10:47] <jimcooncat> littlepenguin: thanks so much
[10:47] <abhijit> brb
[10:48] <moldy> hi
[10:48] <pk___> i have two users on my ubuntu computers  one min1 which was created during installation and other one min which i have created..i want my computer to automatically login to the normal user min
[10:48] <pk___> without any password
[10:48] <abhijit> m back!
[10:48] <lee_> any1 know how to get the splash effect?? like in the mac widgets?
[10:49] <umc> thanks for the link abhijit
[10:49] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: most are packages you installed except for cups  so you can install those on debian also not sure I see a difference
[10:49] <abhijit> umc, welcome. you try them they are really cool themes!!!
[10:50] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: like icecast what is that?
[10:50] <North_Italian69> sacarlson: these are services, doesn't matter some need locally. but no open ports please. if i do a nmap it is a disaster. I am lucky that my dsl router has a nice firewall. incredible if i had a direct connection with a modem for instance all the word can enter on my Ubuntu. this is *unmissable*
[10:50] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: so if you need these services localy I guess you want a firewall.
[10:51] <llutz> North_Italian69: why do you blame ubuntu for your incompetence to setup your local services properly?
[10:51] <North_Italian69> sacarlson: so, you don want undestand me. even xp if an application try to go in listening mode ask you if it can or not, can you understand me??????? i believed linux was secure ...
[10:51] <zealiod> is it possible to get Postfix Mail to relay to a smarthost that requires a username and password for authentication?
[10:52] <bindi> lol
[10:52] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: just because it listens is not a security risk,  but I agree with llutz
[10:53] <sacarlson> North_Italian69: the default firewall is to deny all
