[14:47] <pozic> Tootoot222: ok, that's it.
[14:47] <penne> icy...is it a usb wlan stick or wut?
[14:47] <pozic> Is there a safe way to add the Windows entry?
[14:48] <pozic> By safe, I mean something with a GUI for example that does some extra checks?
[14:48] <Icy_> my network hub is from a router,and i have a network adapter on my desktop
[14:48] <X3> type update-grub
[14:48] <JP1> penne: I've just stuck my question on the forum, shall see what I get back later tonight - I have to leave just now and really I was hoping for more of a Step 1 Step 2 answer
[14:48] <Tootoot222> pozic: it is read only though, and gets overwritten on update; do like pozic said and just put your custom entries in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[14:48] <ComradeHaz`> can't you just do update-grub?
[14:48] <p1l0t> Icy_: It doesn't seem that your wireless card is up. Does sudo ifconfig -a display anything extra?
[14:48] <penne> icy...no wireless card?
[14:48] <Tootoot222> oop, like penne said*
[14:48] <JP1> penne: You've been really helpful but I just don't have the time, sory matey
[14:48] <X3> pozic: type update-grub
[14:48] <pozic> I have update-grub and update-grub2
[14:48] <Icy_> what do you mean by wireless card
[14:48] <pozic> Do you actually mean update-grub?
[14:48] <STPaste> a card with no wires
[14:48] <penne> jp1: np
[14:48] <STPaste> duh
[14:48] <thune3> kjpozic: update-grub2 calls update-grub
[14:49] <rocket16> Hello all,
[14:49] <ComradeHaz`> uh, I'm not sure, mate. I use Debian. Wait for one of these guys to reply.
[14:49] <Icy_> i have something that looks like http://www.google.com/products/catalog?oe=UTF-8&gfns=1&q=network+adapter&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=11580543653005552985&ei=xbMkTMrSFYu7jAfWmsGuAg&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CDwQ8wIwBQ#
[14:49] <Icy_> ill go and check that now p1l0t
[14:49] <penne> icy: iwlist is just for wireless stuff
[14:49] <rocket16> IS there a way to integrate Gespeaker and Festival?
[14:49] <Oyster> hi guys
[14:49] <X3> pozic: yes just type update-grub
[14:49] <Hawkey^atWork> penne:  thx man ;)
[14:49] <STPaste> are ubuntu apps any different to kde or gnome or any other linux?
[14:49] <p1l0t> Icy_: you said your connecting wirelesses correct? You must have some kind of device, either a pci card or usb with an antenna on it right?
[14:49] <pozic> X3: I did and the information in menu.lst is ignored.
[14:49] <atomjepes> help, when I reboot no login screen appears
[14:49] <aeon-ltd> STPaste: no there eithet gtk or qt
[14:49] <aeon-ltd> *either
[14:49] <X3> pozic: shoud detect all installed os's and create entries
[14:49] <ifancho> :(
[14:50] <penne> bye
[14:50] <pozic> X3: I still don't have my Windows entry back.
[14:50] <rocket16> Can we use Festival voices in Gespeaker?
[14:50] <pozic> X3: ok, in this case the mounting feature is broken in Linux.
[14:50] <ifancho> now both systems are gone from mbr
[14:50] <pozic> X3: so, I can do it manually, I suppose.
[14:50] <Oyster> my bluetooth(on toshiba a300-03L) works only after i suspend and boot again(I'm using ubuntu lucid) - what may be the problem?
[14:50] <X3> pozic: idk what you been doing with the grub
[14:50] <Icy_> yes p1l0t
[14:50] <aeon-ltd> STPaste: or it could be 32bit or 64bit
[14:50] <alont> \part
[14:50] <Icy_> i have a usb with an antenna
[14:50] <ifancho> followed everything right
[14:50] <pozic> X3: nothing special.
[14:50] <X3> pozic: grub2 is not manual per se
[14:50] <Icy_> it displays the same thing as sudo ifconfig
[14:50] <STPaste> so generic linux apps like Opera Browser for linux will definitely work
[14:50] <Icy_> + wlan0
[14:50] <ComradeHaz`> how on earth do I get a propper address bar in the file browser rather than those stupid buttons?
[14:51] <dassouki> is there a way to check gmail from terminal
[14:51] <Tootoot222> dassouki: w3m ?
[14:51] <Oyster> http://pastebin.com/ssTw2Yan -- sorted lsmod after boot
[14:51] <pozic> X3: I basically want to have the equivalent of hd(1,0) somewhere in the new file.
[14:51] <ComradeHaz`> dassouki, lynx?
[14:51] <aeon-ltd> STPaste: yeah just install via apt/synaptic
[14:51] <X3> !grub2 pozic
[14:51] <p1l0t> Icy_: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[14:51] <Oyster> http://pastebin.com/PxpzNUbk -- same after suspend
[14:51] <YoG> hi, I'm trying to change the glslideshow duration
[14:51] <Icy_> ok brb
[14:51] <pozic> X3: the bot is slow or dead.
[14:51] <aeon-ltd> dassouki: you could use mutt, or a script to call for unread emails
[14:51] <pozic> X3: or non-existing entry
[14:51] <doughed2003>  have a problem with my partitions. I was trying to resize one to give more space to Ubuntu but then gave me errors, so I quit it and for some reason I could not see the partitions at all .Nothing showed up in Gparted but i could see my XP (it's a dual boot). i used Testdisk in partedmagic to finally see my Ubuntu files but still can not boot to ether OS . Tried super grub disk but no joy.
[14:51] <X3> posic read up on about grub2
[14:51] <STPaste> i only just installed ubuntu/, apt/synapic selection was not encountered yet
[14:52] <ifancho> Dr_Willis
[14:52] <aeon-ltd> doughed2003: what about other livecds?
[14:52] <X3> !grubpc | pozic
[14:52] <ifancho> paging Dr_Willis
[14:52] <Icy_> permission denied
[14:52] <p1l0t> Icy_: with sudo?
[14:52] <YoG> hi, I'm trying to change the glslideshow duration, in the past i did it through the glslideshow.desktop file, but under lucid it has no effect, can someone point me in the right direction?
[14:52] <Icy_> >.>
[14:52] <doughed2003> aeon-ltd: i'm on a mint live cd now
[14:53]  * STPaste slaps a large trout around a bit with whoever created ubunto
[14:53] <aeon-ltd> doughed2003: does it see them?
[14:53] <Tootoot222> STPaste: mark shuttleworth?
[14:53] <X3> pozic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[14:53] <iflema> !grub | pozic
[14:53] <STPaste> YAY
[14:53] <pozic> According to my user-experience, Ubuntu messed up big time. My configuration was working fine until Ubuntu made some changes.
[14:53] <STPaste> Shuttleworth? I'll have to research that
[14:53] <pozic> I can fix it, but there are lots of people who cannot.
[14:53] <doughed2003> yes now i can see them but not sure what to do from here,
[14:53] <ifancho> can someone help me to restore my MBR
[14:53] <Icy_> no such file or directory
[14:53] <surumpuly> Hozsanna
[14:53] <surumpuly> Ola ikonia bruder
[14:53] <p1l0t> YoG: system tools -> screensaver (choose glwhatever) then goto advanced if no slide bar
[14:54] <Tootoot222> ifancho: grub or grub2?
[14:54] <pozic> X3: yes, I was already there.  What do you mean?
[14:54] <p1l0t> Icy_: should ask you for sudo password
[14:54] <ComradeHaz`> thanks
[14:55] <Icy_> it did
[14:55] <p1l0t> Icy_: they turn on wireless
[14:55] <Icy_> i entered it
[14:55] <Icy_> no such file or directory
[14:55] <p1l0t> then*
[14:55] <Icy_> is what it came up with
[14:55] <p1l0t> Icy_: but ifconfig -a shows wlan0..
[14:55] <Icy_> yep
[14:55] <p1l0t> Icy_: standby let me check my syntax
[14:55] <Icy_> ok
[14:55] <aeon-ltd> pozic: of all applications, the documentation by the devs a lot of the directories they refer to are moved in ubuntu so its 'easier' for the user
[14:56] <X3> pozic: sorry idk what else
[14:56] <aeon-ltd> doughed2003: how far after grub does ubuntu fail to boot?
[14:56] <pozic> X3: you have helped me enough. There is no need for more help :)
[14:56] <YoG> p1l0t: there is no "advanced" in screensaver :-(
[14:56] <sercik> hello someone can give some source repository?
[14:56] <pozic> aeon-ltd: I thought it simply did whatever Debian did.
[14:57] <pozic> aeon-ltd: but please give examples. I hate systems that do things different.
[14:57] <p1l0t> YoG: :( did you try messing with the framerate?
[14:57] <pozic> Like e.g. Redhat.
[14:57] <erUSUL> sercik: you can enable those in System>Admin..>software sources
[14:57] <aeon-ltd> pozic: its slightly different, but its dev based yeah
[14:57] <doughed2003> i was getting a grub rescue prompt but none of the commands i fond online worked
[14:57] <aeon-ltd> *dev --> deb
[14:57] <p1l0t> Icy_: are you spelling ifconfig right? not ipconfig but ifconfig
[14:57] <sercik> erUSUL my sources.list doesn't contain ant source repo
[14:57] <sercik> the problem is not to enable, but to add
[14:58] <pozic> doughed2003: online there are a lot of idiots. You just have to read the documentation carefully.
[14:58] <erUSUL> sercik: i just told you where to enable them
[14:58] <aeon-ltd> pozic: its been a while but i think server applications such as perl, sql management, php, some file sharing daemons etc
[14:58] <sercik> infact
[14:58] <sercik> i need some address
[14:58] <Icy_> yes ifconfig
[14:58] <pozic> aeon-ltd: ubuntu recently changed the init system, but there is a good technical reason for doing so.
[14:58] <aeon-ltd> doughed2003: so you basically select ubuntu in grub and it does nothing but fail
[14:58] <YoG> p1l0t: I want to change the duration for each image, it's 30 sec per image, I want ~9, and I also want to change the zoom parameter...
[14:59] <aeon-ltd> pozic: more bsd like
[14:59] <p1l0t> Icy_: thats strange, ifconfig -a shows wlan0 but ifconfig wlan0 up says no such file...
[14:59] <doughed2003> aeon-ltd: i fond 3 diff. ones and some had the same commends but nothing worked
[14:59] <aeon-ltd> YoG: if this is a gnome app try gconf editor
[14:59] <pozic> aeon-ltd: as long as there are technical reasons for changes, it is OK. If it is to make people learn a proprietary system and get certifications, not so.
[14:59] <Icy_> exactly
[14:59] <doughed2003> aeon-ltd: i don't even get that far
[14:59] <Icy_> if it helps
[15:00] <Icy_> sudo ifconfig does NOT show wlan0
[15:00] <Icy_> but yes ifconfig -a does
[15:00] <blue_anna> can you help me with my wireless: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9508804
[15:00] <aeon-ltd> doughed2003: you said you tried supergrubdisk, did it fail to install?
[15:00] <p1l0t> Icy_: which means its there, but it needs to be "turned on"
[15:00] <Tootoot222> Icy_: sudo rfkill list
[15:00] <Tootoot222> any of them blocked?
[15:01] <doughed2003> aeon-ltd:yes but not sure if i used it right
[15:01] <ifancho> Tootoot222 check your pm
[15:01] <ifancho> pls
[15:02] <aeon-ltd> doughed2003: depends if you want to gamble on automated, you could just use the livecd now mount the partitons and copy you home dir out and reinstall
[15:02] <Icy_> ok
[15:02] <Icy_> let me try that
[15:04] <Icy_> wireless
[15:04] <Icy_> hard blocked n
[15:04] <Icy_> no
[15:04] <Icy_> soft blocked
[15:04] <Icy_> no
[15:04] <FloodBot3> Icy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:04] <abhi_nav> IdleOne, may I pm you? regarding bot
[15:05] <doughed2003> aeon-ltd: that is what i think I'm going to have to do, i had did a fresh install and got all my stuff back on it but then noticed that it split my linux into 4 diff. partitions ,2 swops and 2 40 gig partitions. one with just a lost and fond on it
[15:05] <YoG> aeon-ltd: didn't find it in gconf-edit...
[15:05] <rmrfslash> How can I figure out what video driver I'm using?
[15:05] <abhi_nav> IdleOne, you there?
[15:06] <rmrfslash> I blacklisted nouveau and lsmod shows that it is no longer loaded (same w/ cat /proc/modules) but I still have a display driver that can handle compiz
[15:06] <erUSUL> rmrfslash: "grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log" may help
[15:06] <tdechman> good morning
[15:06] <BluesKaj> rmrfslash, sudo lshw -C video
[15:07] <Icy_> who knew it was so hard to connec to the internet :p
[15:08] <tdechman> so, I've just updated from 9.10 to 10.04 and I've some interesting issues.  First, my laptop (Lenovo T60P) had a perfectly working display but when I docked it and used the lenovo desk screen (dual display) the monitor showed 'invalid display' and had a... shakey?... aspect to the background which eventually dropped off.
[15:08] <tdechman> I used the nomodeset option from the release notes
[15:08] <tdechman> but... has anyone else seen this?
[15:09] <tdechman> I mean, from my reading of the bug reports, it seemed the issues were either embedded or complete
[15:09] <tdechman> and not simply with one display vs the other
[15:09] <tdechman> nomodeset did fix this
[15:09] <tdechman> second issue is more frustrating - my wireless adapter is simply missing
[15:10] <tdechman> (yay for connected docks)
[15:10] <MaMoUs> how to make lkl Auto start when i login my user ?
[15:10] <Icy_> i know how you feel tdechman :p
[15:10] <Tootoot222> MaMoUs: system > preferences > startup applications > add
[15:11] <Kagee> I've got a ati5870 working fine with 2 monitors. Is it possible to get three monitors using this one card via flgrx or the radeon-driver?
[15:11] <MaMoUs> i did try not working
[15:11] <doughed2003> aeon-ltd: do you think there is a command i can put in to see what my grub has and if it is fixable?
[15:11] <tdechman> Icy: you too?
[15:12] <Icy_> not really
[15:12] <Icy_> but yes really :p
[15:12] <tdechman> dmesg does not show any issues (only an issue with the CD I am listening too - which cleared up when I reloaded the CD)
[15:12] <aeon-ltd> doughed2003: i don't think so
[15:12] <tdechman> Icy: box 1 works and box 2 doesn't ? :-P
[15:12] <Icy_> i guess
[15:13] <Icy_> after failing to install ubuntu on my external (and putting it on my C:\ instead ._.) im having trouble connecting to the internet with ubuntu lol
[15:13] <nowireless> Please, help. I installed linux-backports-modules-wireless-generic yesterday and my wireless worked perfectly with ath5k module. After I restard it don't work anymore, neither wlan0 exists in "ifconfig -a". What's happening?
[15:13] <doughed2003> darn!! i just got compiz cube working the way i like ! lol
[15:13] <pozic> Why doesn't https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 simply contain a "add this for Windows" section?
[15:13] <tdechman> nowireless: me too
[15:13] <llllll_> heihei
[15:13] <erUSUL> nowireless: you desactivated the wifi with the button of your laptop ?
[15:13] <acovrig> has anyone used denyhosts?
[15:14] <rapid> ya
[15:14] <erUSUL> pozic: becouse os-prober should find windows ?
[15:14] <nowireless> erUSUL: It's a desktop. :D I'm using an USB wireless device.
[15:14] <acovrig> rapid: does it work for you?
[15:14] <doughed2003> aeon-ltd: can i save those types of settings
[15:14] <shadyabhi> acovrig: what about that?
[15:14] <tdechman> arg - mine is a laptop - and it's enabled
[15:15] <pozic> erUSUL: it doesn't because the mount.ntfs is broken.
[15:15] <erUSUL> nowireless: try modprobing the module by hand « sudo modprobe ath5k » ?
[15:15] <acovrig> shadyabhi: I have 2 boxes, 1 debian, 1 ubuntu, both running same version, same .conf file, why does 1 block me an the other not?
[15:15] <pozic> erUSUL: I just want to specify on which harddrive it is.
[15:15] <rapid> acovrig, it worked from memory yeah
[15:15] <pozic> erUSUL: without any automatic garbage.
[15:15] <erUSUL> pozic: i can post the script from karmics grub2 if you want
[15:15] <Speiros> How do I check to see if my dvd burner is functioning correctly?  I have a DVD, but it won't play.
[15:15] <shadyabhi> acovrig: any firewalls installed?
[15:15] <pozic> erUSUL: what do you mean?
[15:15] <pozic> erUSUL: I am already looking at 30_os-prober
[15:16] <acovrig> shadyabhi: not that I know of
[15:16] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, does anyone have a tip about an easy way to setup a chroot jail for SFTP/SSH?
[15:16] <shadyabhi> acovrig: "sudo iptables -L" and see if you have any rules set
[15:16] <rapid> acovrig, make sure the ip for either machine is in the conf there's a option to not block certain hosts or whatever
[15:16] <pozic> erUSUL: it seems the 40_custom file is what I need.
[15:16] <BluesKaj> Speiros, won't play anything or ?
[15:16] <Speiros> It won't play a DVD.  I think it plays cds'.
[15:16] <pozic> erUSUL: I just don't know what to put in it.
[15:16] <acovrig> shadyabhi: I am sshing from the LAN, it blocks me the instant I start it, and I am currently in a ssh connection
[15:16] <erUSUL> pozic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/455002/ its name is /etc/grub.d/20_windows_xp ( you can use another name ) modify it to suit your needs/system
[15:17] <Speiros> BluesKaj: It is a DVD burner
[15:17] <slow-motion> hi
[15:17] <erUSUL> pozic: it has to be executable ( so chmod +x it )
[15:17] <BluesKaj> !medibuntu | Speiros
[15:17] <hairyalbert> hi slow-motion
[15:17] <acovrig> shadyabhi: lots of 'ACCEPT'
[15:17] <nowireless> erUSUL: The command worked, but nothing happens. Useful info: My device is connected but not light thre lights.
[15:17] <pozic> erUSUL: can I just paste that in 40_custom?
[15:17] <pozic> erUSUL: that is the stuff between EOF?
[15:17] <Speiros> BluesKaj: Thanks for that.  Much appreciated.
[15:17] <nowireless> the*
[15:17] <acovrig> shadyabhi: u want my denyhosts.conf file>pastebin?
[15:18] <shadyabhi> acovrig: so you have a firewall installed... ya.. paste it'
[15:18] <pozic> erUSUL: I will try it anyway.
[15:18] <erUSUL> pozic: i really dunno. just use a new file it is proven to work
[15:18] <rapid> acovrig, did u check http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#3_7
[15:18] <BluesKaj> Speiros, as well open your package manager and enable 3rd party sources and canonical partners , then sudo aptitude update.
[15:19] <Speiros> BluesKaj: Will do, thanks
[15:19] <pozic> erUSUL: rebooting. Thanks.
[15:19] <erUSUL> pozic: sudo update-grub
[15:19] <erUSUL> pozic:
[15:19] <BluesKaj> Speiros, then install ubunt-restricted-extras if not already installed
[15:20] <Speiros> BluesKaj: Okay.
[15:20] <BluesKaj> err, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:20] <nowireless> I already tried to reinstall linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic, but it didn't changed the scenario. :S
[15:21] <technikfreak>  hello together i have xubuntu 10.04 installed  but i have onbe problem each start, skype and pdigin starts automatically after i logged in but i didn't kno why
[15:21] <doughed2003> nowireless: what wireless program are you useing?
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> technikfreak:  session manager perhaps has 'saved' them as being auto ran.  I dont use xfce. so can only suggest to look in the sessions settings
[15:22] <rmrfslash> Where do I add default search domains i.e. so I can ssh into a hostname w/o having to supply the entire fqdn
[15:23] <rmrfslash> like ssh node instead of ssh node.foo.com
[15:23] <acovrig> shadyabhi: http://pastebin.com/46Hx31jk has iptables -L denyhosts conf and sshd_conf
[15:23] <nowireless> doughed2003: wireless module? ath5k
[15:23] <rmrfslash> adding "foo.com" to the default search domains
[15:23] <cronject> rmrfslash: /etc/hosts
[15:23] <cronject> rmrfslash: in the third column you can add an alias
[15:24] <rmrfslash> That's not what I mean
[15:24] <doughed2003> nowireless: no the gui. wicd ?
[15:24] <rmrfslash> you can add search domains.... I don't want to add an alias for every possible machine
[15:24] <technikfreak> ok thx Dr_Willis
[15:24] <acovrig> rapid: yes, but I don't know what ip I am going to have if I go somewhere, and it is blocking every login, not just bad ones
[15:24] <j800r> guys, i'm having trouble networking to a windows system. my gf has shared a folder for me to pick up on my ubuntu system (she's on windows vista) and the folder shows up, but when i try to open it, it tells me "Unable to mount location."
[15:25] <less> rmrfslash: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
[15:25] <rapid> acovrig, oh sorry, i've misunderstood
[15:25] <nowireless> doughed2003: ermm, network-manager?!
[15:25] <nowireless> Ubuntu default.
[15:25] <rapid> acovrig, there's no deny hosts log?
[15:26] <rmrfslash> I think you add them to supercede-domain in /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf
[15:26] <acovrig> rapid: its ok, but very annoying that it blocks every login attempt, even correct ones, I am in ssh now, and it attempts to block my current connection when I start it
[15:26] <rmrfslash> rather, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[15:26] <acovrig> rapid: yes there is, but it just says that it has ben blocked, not why
[15:26] <rmrfslash> not sure of course how to reload this file but....
[15:26] <rmrfslash> let me try a logout/login
[15:26] <rmrfslash> actually, that shouldn't work
[15:27] <acovrig> rmrfslash: is there an init.d script for it?
[15:27] <less> rmrfslash: probably by sudo kill -HUP dhclient.
[15:27] <doughed2003> nowireless: try the wicd program .it works better . well for me it does. you will need to connect with an ethernet cable and go to synaptic and un-install network manager and then install wicd
[15:27] <shadyabhi> acovrig: u have /etc/hosts.deny file?
[15:27] <acovrig> yes
[15:28] <acovrig> shadyabhi: and I get added to it the instant I start denyhosts
[15:28] <alanteh> hello,
[15:28] <nowireless> doughed2003: thx for the suggestion, I'll try it to see if it works. :)
[15:28] <rapid> theres a back up somewhere which will readd it
[15:28] <rapid> was a pain
[15:28] <doughed2003> nowireless: it's a belkin right?
[15:28] <rmrfslash> OK that worked
[15:28] <rapid> but not any host..
[15:29] <none> I'm having a problem with a linux/module.h file the compiler doesn't see it, but i've sort of wrote the correct path /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include       -- that's where the linux/module.h is... can't figure out what's the problem
[15:30] <acovrig> shadyabhi: why do I get added to deny.hosts when I start it?
[15:30] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Hello all.  Might anyone have an idea as to why I can't get my full 1280x1024 resolution while using my TRENDnet KVM?  It says it supports Linux, yet my issue remains. Monitor only runs at 1024x768. I don't think it's the KVM, because Windows works fine on it. Thoughts?
[15:30] <jrbaker8> has anyone been able to get a broadcom 4318 wireless chipset to work on 10.04?
[15:31] <shadyabhi> whats does you "SYSLOG_REPORT" say?
[15:31] <shadyabhi> acovrig:  whats does you "SYSLOG_REPORT" say?
[15:31] <Euthanatos> is there a way to change the maximum screen size for xrandr?
[15:32] <fintoad> anyone install Fire Vox for MOzzila Firefox?
[15:32] <Euthanatos> i have a 16:9 monitor with 1920x1080p but xorg has been giving me a lot of trouble configuring it
[15:32] <rapid> acovrig,  they might be in /var/lib/denyhosts and added automatically once its restart.
[15:33] <acovrig> shadyabhi: u mean 'cat /var/log/syslog'?
[15:33] <abhi_nav> fintoad, what is fire vox?
[15:33] <eoke> Cajun_Lan_Man: Is it connected via DVI or RGB?
[15:33] <azlon> how can i mount a samba location?
[15:33] <shadyabhi> ya.. is there anything relevant there...
[15:33] <shadyabhi> acovrig: ya.. is there anything relevant there...
[15:33] <fintoad> abhi_nav, it reads web pages for you
[15:33] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: RGB
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> azlon:  via command line, fstab, or gnome gui. Or some other tools can help in automating it.
[15:33] <abhi_nav> fintoad, !!!
[15:34] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: But there is a DVI to RGB adapter between the PC and the cable going to the KVM
[15:34] <azlon> Dr_Willis, so something like this: sudo mount smb://name/location /mnt/foldername
[15:34] <fintoad> abhi_nav, http://clickspeak.clcworld.net/
[15:34] <xray_tsk> Cajun_Lan_Man: KVM kills all useful information...
[15:34] <shadyabhi> azlon: u want them to be started at boot time?
[15:34] <eoke> Cajun_Lan_Man: Normally when you connect via DVI the computer can get information about your monitors capabilities EDID.
[15:35] <VCoolio> azlon: browse it with nautilus (places > network); if you want to use mount command read up on cifs (you're going to need mount -t cifs)
[15:35] <fintoad> abhi_nav: it works in firefox
[15:35] <azlon> shadyabhi, eventually, but right now i would settle for anything
[15:35] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: seems like I should be able to force Ubuntu to just understand that my monitor can do 1280x1024
[15:35] <abhi_nav> fintoad, ok
[15:35] <eoke> Cajun_Lan_Man: Because you're using a converter your monitor is not able to get this data.  You can export it though whilst connected to it via DVI and then manually specify it in your Xorg using the "CustomEDID" option.
[15:36] <acovrig> shadyabhi: no, but rapid did have a good idea, and yes my host was listed in /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts
[15:36] <sequethin> im confused, dpkg keeps telling me "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state", I can't upgrade it, reinstall it, remove it, force it to remove, purge... nothing
[15:36] <Tootoot222> azlon: with nautilus, ctrl+l to open the go-to bar, and put smb://server/share/
[15:36] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: that sounds like a great idea.
[15:36] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: would that be done with the *gasp* CLI?
[15:36] <azlon> Tootoot222, but i want it mounted in my /mnt folder... i can access the folder from nautilus
[15:37] <shadyabhi> azlon: http://linux-junky.blogspot.com/2010/02/auto-mounting-partitions-samba-shares_21.html
[15:37] <fintoad> abhi_nav: I need to make a symlink to the Java plugin, but can't find it
[15:37] <abhi_nav> fintoad, busy right now.
[15:37] <ifancho> Tootoot222
[15:37] <fintoad> ok
[15:37] <eoke> Cajun_Lan_Man: Do you have an nvidia graphics card?
[15:37] <Tootoot222> you can sudo mount -t cfis -o username=name /mnt
[15:37] <Tootoot222> azlon: ^
[15:37] <azlon> shadyabhi, awesome, thanks!
[15:37] <ifancho> tnx for the help
[15:37] <ifancho> worked fine
[15:37] <Tootoot222> ifancho: sweet
[15:38] <azlon> Tootoot222, thanks!
[15:38] <acovrig> shadyabhi: it is a good thing that I found this, started daemon yesterday, now I have 15 in my denyhosts/hosts file! (on the debian box-port22, ubuntu box uses 2222)
[15:38] <shadyabhi> azlon: use "-o" option  with mount if you have password protected shares
[15:38] <fintoad> anyone know how to find Java plugin in ubunutu
[15:38] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: intel
[15:38] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: onboard
[15:38] <Tootoot222> fintoad: you have to enable the partener repo
[15:38] <acovrig> shadyabhi: and about a month ago, I got a email (setup in .profile) saying that someone loged on from Romania
[15:38] <xray_tsk> By the way
[15:38] <vkareh> is there a way to have Gmail (or Google Reader!) notifications on the indicator applet?
[15:38] <BluesKaj> sequethin, sudo fuser -vki -term /var/lib/dpkg/lock then sudo dpkg --configure -a
[15:39] <fintoad> TooToo222: I have it installed, typed about:plugins in addy bar of firefox and it is listed but where is it on my pc
[15:39] <sequethin> BluesKaj: will try thanks
[15:39] <shadyabhi> acovrig: frankly, I am not much into this stuff . pls ask someone else...
[15:39] <xray_tsk> I having a trouble when pressing ALT+TAB. Sometimes xorg doesn't feel that tab is already unpressed, and sends TAB event to the active application...
[15:39] <xray_tsk> Does anyone have the same problem?
[15:39] <acovrig> shadyabhi: thats ok, it works now
[15:40] <pozic> My mount.ntfs segfaults, while on other machine it works just fine. Is there some known good version which doesn't have this problem?
[15:40] <xray_tsk> Having the true Mitsumi Classic keyboard :-\
[15:40] <eoke> Cajun_Lan_Man: I've only ever acquired it from an nvidia card using their proprietary nvidia-settings tool.  But theres something in the repos that might help read-edid
[15:40] <vkareh> but that's for firefox, not for the ubuntu indicator applet :P
[15:40] <gonzaloaf> hello, baed on what does google set the location? For example, I want to use www.google.com.pe as my default search engine, how can I do that?
[15:40] <pozic> I can mount USB sticks on the same USB port without issues.
[15:40] <Glakke> Does anyone have a software to overclock (or specifically downclock) ATI graphic cards? I've dried ATI Overdrive which comes with the drivers, however this doesn't let me downclock at all. ATI HD4870
[15:40] <shadyabhi> acovrig: how did u get the problem solved?
[15:41] <sequethin> BluesKaj: your fuser command string results in invalid option "-t"
[15:41] <fintoad> vkareh: r u talking to me
[15:41] <vkareh> nope
[15:41] <fintoad> ok
[15:41] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: I just had another idea.  My monitor has both a DVI and a RGB port on it.  I may just use the RGB for my windows box, and the DVI for my Ubuntu box.  That way I can bypass the KVM for video altogether.
[15:41] <BluesKaj> sequethin, sudo dpkg --clear-avail
[15:42] <rmrfslash> RGB port?
[15:42] <sequethin> BluesKaj: ok --clear-avail is something i haven't tried
[15:42] <rmrfslash> do you mean VGA?
[15:42] <hrp2171> hello.  need to install kernel <IP_ADDRESS> in 10.04, do you have any good links for ubuntu howtos?  thanks.
[15:42] <eoke> Cajun_Lan_Man: Yeah that works I do a similar thing the only down side is it can be a little slow to switch between the two.
[15:42] <Cajun_Lan_Man> rmrfslash: RGB = VGA
[15:42] <Freeaqingme> hmm, it now happens several days that all my letters show up uppercase as if I'd be using capslock. how do I fix that? It's not my keyboard since I swapped that already
[15:43] <fintoad> my about:plugins shows a file named libnpjp2.so under Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_20, but I can't find a Java directory or the lib file
[15:43] <acovrig> shadyabhi: my host was listed in /var/denyhosts/hosts file, so denyhosts was putting them in /etc/host.deny at startup
[15:43] <pozic> How am I supposed to mount an ntfs file system with only broken drivers?
[15:43] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: I think I may even have to press a button on the monitor to get it to do so.  Oh well.  It will still allow me to have both at one desk.  Space is precious where I have them.
[15:43] <pozic> The last update was done in March for the Ubuntu version.
[15:43] <rmrfslash> acorvig: any reason you're not using iptables?
[15:43] <VCoolio> azlon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534
[15:43] <shadyabhi> acovrig: thanks for sharing
[15:43] <pozic> Two years ago ntfs-3g was working fine.
[15:43] <fintoad> pozic, have u tried SUPERGRUBDISK
[15:44] <pozic> fintoad: I don't care about Grub at the moment.
[15:44] <gonzaloaf> hello, how can I specify google to search in my country?
[15:44] <pozic> fintoad: merely mounting it should work first.
[15:44] <sequethin> BluesKaj: thanks but still same error
[15:44] <frxstrem> is it possible to have thumbnails of windows when hovering over items in the window list in the bottom panel, similar to what Windows 7 has?
[15:44] <fintoad> this wil mount it
[15:44] <pozic> fintoad: when I brute-forced all the combinations the BIOS (I think) still couldn't find the disk.
[15:44] <eoke> gonzaloaf: By tld normally .co.uk for example
[15:44] <fintoad> Pozic: ok but here is a link http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[15:45] <rapid> gonzaloaf: http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
[15:45] <pozic> fintoad: I am already there, but I am not going to download a CD.
[15:45] <gonzaloaf> rapid, You can set the language there, but not the country
[15:46] <fintoad> pozic: ok, just trying to help
[15:46] <ks3> frxstrem, dockbarx will give you the icon style taskbar and also has an option for window previews
[15:46] <pozic> fintoad: all I want is a mount.ntfs command implementation that works or gives me an error message, not a segfault.
[15:46] <frxstrem> ks3: okay, thanks :
[15:46] <Joeman7777> does anyone know how i can make the icons load on the left at startup and clean-up on the left as well?
[15:46] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: I'm using the smallest of these 4, to give you an idea.  If it wasn't so small I'd have a cheap nVidia card in it. http://www.itreviews.co.uk/graphics/normal/hardware/h809.jpg
[15:46] <pozic> Even read-only would be an acceptable solution for now.
[15:46] <fintoad> pozic: I understand, seems like u have tried all I know
[15:47] <hrp2171> gonzaloaf, try adding your country's 2 letter abbreviation to google.com:  www.google.com.uk for example
[15:47] <azlon> VCoolio, if i am trying to mount a folder from one ubuntu machine to another is it better to use samba or nfs?
[15:47] <eoke> Cajun_Lan_Man: I still think you'll be able to do it I've just never done it on an intel card to give you exact steps.
[15:47] <gonzaloaf> hrp2171, yeah, I know that I can use www.google.com.pe for my country, but I want to set it as default
[15:47] <hrp2171> did a search and some guy from australia uses: www.google.com.au
[15:47] <Cajun_Lan_Man> eoke: well you've pointed me in the right direction.  I appreciate the help.
[15:48] <gonzaloaf> hrp2171, Does google base this configuration in a locale setting of Ubuntu?
[15:48] <eoke> Cajun_Lan_Man: No worries best of luck
[15:48] <acovrig> rapid: can I use a custom mail command?
[15:48] <Roasted> Does anybody find with Firefox they are unable to fast forward through certain flash videos? The same flash videos that are problematic in Firefox work perfectly in Chromium. Ideas?
[15:48] <rapid> acovrig, sure, you should be able to. I haven't used it in a while though
[15:48] <X3> gonzaloaf: add as homepage or bookmark
[15:48] <acovrig> /bin/ircnot
[15:48] <VCoolio> azlon: I never used nfs, try it and keep what suits you best
[15:48] <hrp2171> gonzaloaf, it's based on IP
[15:48] <eoke> gonzaloaf: What country are you trying to limit your results
[15:49] <acovrig> rapid: do you know how?
[15:49] <gonzaloaf> eoke, I want to search as my country Peru
[15:49] <hrp2171> gonzaloaf, looks like creating a bookmark is your best bet
[15:49] <hrp2171> just went into my search settings and there's no country default option
[15:49] <hrp2171> just language
[15:50] <sequethin> so basically once dpkg is mad at you there is nothing you can do?
[15:50] <timemachine3030> can I list all package that are installed with apt-get?  dpkg -l  lists all packages, I just want the leaves, not packages installed as dependencies
[15:50] <BluesKaj> sequethin, how about , sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename
[15:50] <sequethin> tried
[15:50] <rapid> google.pe
[15:50] <eoke> gonzaloaf: google.com.pe
[15:50] <rapid> acovrig, not sure
[15:50] <acovrig> sequethin: lol, what did you do?
[15:50] <acovrig> /bin/ircnot
[15:50] <gonzaloaf> eoke, hrp2171: If I set the language of google as English it makes a global search, now I tried setting it as Spanish, I now it makes a local search www.google.com.pe
[15:50] <gz0> ls
[15:50] <gonzaloaf> eoke,  yeah, I know that I can use www.google.com.pe for my country, but I want to set it as default
[15:51] <BluesKaj> sequethin, so you tried sudo apt-get -f install too?
[15:51] <sequethin> acovrig: I tried to run aptitude safe-upgrade, and apparently the packages for zend server ce are weird
[15:51] <acovrig> /bin/ircnot
[15:51] <hrp2171> gonzaloaf, do you have a gmail account?
[15:51] <gz0> anyone know why after changing the mac address of my wireless card, I cant connect to the internet? ive been googling, but nothing reliable is turning up for me
[15:51] <hrp2171> just checking
[15:51] <gz0> thanks
[15:51] <sequethin> BluesKaj: i tried that yes, i tried force, purge, reinstall... apt-get aptitude dpkg
[15:51] <BluesKaj> ok
[15:51] <eoke> gonzaloaf: Not sure I follow but wouldn't you just set your home page to google.com.pe
[15:51] <gz0> If i change the mac address back to normal, then it connects fine, via nm-applet
[15:51] <sequethin> going to try again maybe you have a magic touch, maybe it will work now that you said something
[15:51] <acovrig> sequethin: did you try uninstalling them, then installing them?
[15:52] <sequethin> acovrig: i can't! that's the problem! i can't remove it, it says I should reinstall before attempting to remove
[15:52] <acovrig> /bin/ircnot
[15:52] <rapid> gz0: could be possible that your router was associated with your mac.. (i doubt it though, unless that was setup)
[15:52] <sequethin> then when i try to reinstall it says i have to run dpkg configure, then when i run that it says i should reinstall, around and around i go
[15:52] <BluesKaj> !dpkg hell
[15:52] <llamas612> can anyone help me with some grub2 menu entries?
[15:52] <hrp2171> please PM if you have one or two good howtos on upgrading a kernel in ubuntu, specifically in 10.04.  thanks.
[15:52] <BluesKaj> :)
[15:53] <gonzaloaf> eoke, If I use the search box of firefox it makes a global search
[15:53] <pozic> LANG=C ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows
[15:53] <pozic> fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[15:53] <BluesKaj> hrp2171, just upgrade your install , the proper kernels should come with it]
[15:53] <pozic> How do I see with what the device is busy?
[15:53] <pozic> Or who is busy?

[15:58] <BluesKaj> sequethin, try this , sudo fuser -vki -TERM /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[15:59] <gz0> rapid: no, i have mac filtering off
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> llamas612:  if using grub2 - you would edit (carefully and make backups) of the /etc/grub.d/XXXXXx scripts
[15:59] <gonzaloaf> eoke, Excellent, thank for your help
[15:59] <sequethin> BluesKaj: no results.. apparently no one is using that lock file

[15:59] <rapid> gz0, why did your mac change  anyway
[15:59] <hrp2171> gonzaloaf, bien
[15:59] <eoke> gonzaloaf: No problem, appologies for the confusion think I must have missed part of the information talking to others.
[15:59] <gonzaloaf> hrp2171, hahaha, do you speak spanish
[15:59] <sequethin> what I dont understand is why force won't force... --force-remove-reinstreq won't force either

[16:00] <kikita> Hi guys
[16:00] <kikita> I wanna config my vsftpd server to do the authentification via a certificate ; must i use auth-ssl ?
[16:00] <hrp2171> gonzaloaf, :) boricua LOL
[16:00] <BluesKaj> sequethin, sorry , you have to run sudo dpkg --configure -a , immediately afterwards
[16:01] <Furu> Anyone know a command that lets me see the code name for my cpu in console... like if i had a core 2 duo the name would be prescott.. but i have a dualcore:P
[16:01] <sequethin> BluesKaj: right, see this is the problem - dpkg --configure -a tells me the package is in an inconsitent state
[16:01] <VCoolio> pozic: /bin/ntfs-3g maybe? makes sense but I'm no expert
[16:01] <hrp2171> i used to be able to find what i needed at ubuntuforums.org but recently there's too much garbage in there
[16:01] <gz0> rapid: Just messing with it, reading about stopping spoofing of my personal mac
[16:02] <pozic> VCoolio: is there a way to trace this in some way?
[16:02] <acovrig> Furu: lshw
[16:02] <gz0> rapid: From google seems like everyone is having problems with changing the mac, then getting on a wireless network via nm-applet
[16:02] <pozic> VCoolio: I think there are some kernel level tools which should be able to do this, but I am not an expert in this area.
[16:02] <gz0> rapid: anyone who has gotten it to work, never mentions how in any forums :(
[16:02] <pozic> VCoolio: and "maybe" is of course useless, but thanks for trying.
[16:03] <BluesKaj> sequethin,  the kill is suppoes tobe floowed by cobfigure -a command but dunno whether they're coupled by a colon or semicolon
[16:03] <sequethin> BluesKaj: ok so you mena I should have the fuser and dpkg commands on the same command line?

[16:05] <Furu> acovrig thx
[16:05] <p1l0t> !lol | p1l0t
[16:05] <bazhang> p1l0t, /msg ubottu please
[16:06] <DjAngo23> Hey everuone, does someone know a program to design a room (eg : measure, position of tables )
[16:06] <DjAngo23> I need to move some table in my office, wanna no the optimal solution
[16:06] <pozic> ks3: ok, then I don't understand. With the above line in my fstab, I get a crash when mounting it. When I use the ntfs-3g command directly, I have no such issue and it all works.
[16:06] <mawst> DjAngo23, sketchup?
[16:06] <duffydack> I think I have found a bug in Lucid (netbook if it matters) and SSH.  I know what I`m doing and used it plenty in the past but it keeps asking for my password when loggin, altho the server has my key and pubkeyauth is enabled.. I removed everything ssh and re-did it all and it was ok but for no reason its started again..
[16:06] <DjAngo23> mawst, Google right ?
[16:06] <eoke> DjAngo23: I did my kitchen using blender probably a bit over kill though.
[16:06] <DjAngo23> Is that working on Ubuntu ?
[16:07] <DjAngo23> eoke, bit overkill yeah ;)
[16:07] <mawst> Not sure.
[16:07] <pozic> duffydack: you have to set the permissions right, possibly.,
[16:07] <DjAngo23> Just in order to be a bit more precise thant whith my pencil
[16:07] <Gwar> What command is sent when you right click the network manager and disable networking? I want to send it via the CLI if possible, as well as the command to enable it. I have tried using ifconfig up down as well as start and stop networking, and combinations thereof to no avail.
[16:07] <pozic> duffydack: anyway, it is very unlikely that a bug was introduced in that feature since lots of people use it.
[16:07] <sequethin> im losing faith in dpkg just a little here. rpm is starting to look better by the minute sigh!
[16:08] <pozic> sequethin: dpkg is a tool you normally should not use.
[16:08] <pozic> sequethin: aptitude is what you normally use.
[16:08] <sequethin> pozic: yes I realize that but aptitude and apt-get give me errors
[16:08] <azlon> VCoolio, that site worked like a charm! thanks!
[16:08] <sequethin> related to dpkg
[16:08] <less> duffydack: does using ssh -v (for verbose) give a clue?
[16:08] <duffydack> pozic, Ive been using it since feisty, with pubkeyauth, been fine..   nothing is changing on this server, its mine.. it worked without asking, now its asking, again.
[16:08] <acovrig> sequethin: like what errors?
[16:08] <VCoolio> azlon: you're welcome
[16:09] <sequethin> acovrig: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state
[16:09] <eoke> DjAngo23: qcad and dia are other possibilities
[16:09] <pozic> sequethin: sometimes packagers mess up, but that usually only happens with incompetent packagers in unpopular packages.
[16:09] <acovrig> sequethin: did you try google?
[16:09] <sequethin> I'm trying to remove this package but I cannot remove it because dpkg thinks i should reinstall it first. i cann't reinstall it because it's inconsisten
[16:09] <h00k> sequethin: sudo apt-get install -f
[16:09] <sequethin> acovrig: google gave me pages of results and i tried about 10 different things from there, then i cam here
[16:09] <sequethin> h00k: been there, done that
[16:10] <h00k> sequethin: and what happened after you did that?
[16:10] <DjAngo23> Thanks eoke
[16:10] <ks3> pozic, When you say crash, do you mean the entire system, or just the mount command?
[16:10] <pozic> ks3: just the mount command.
[16:10] <sequethin> it installed some packages then said dpkg quit unexpectedly and told me i had to run dpkg --configure -a, which takes me right back where I started
[16:11] <sequethin> i just want this package to be removed
[16:11] <Gwar> What command is sent when you right click the network manager and disable networking? I want to send it via the CLI if possible, as well as the command to enable it. I have tried using ifconfig up down as well as start and stop networking, and combinations thereof to no avail.
[16:11] <acovrig> why doesn't `add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une` work?
[16:11] <ks3> pozic, So once it's booted, what happens if you run 'sudo mount /mnt/windows'?
[16:12] <h00k> acovrig: will need to add a repository with sudo
[16:12] <acovrig> h00k: how?
[16:12] <h00k> acovrig: sudo add-apt-repository..etc'
[16:12] <eoke> Gwar: It's possible network manager is bringing them straight back up.
[16:12] <h00k> acovrig: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une
[16:13] <sequethin> ahhh now my boss is bugging me. i'll have to go back to this later:( thanks for trying to help, I appreciate the efforts!
[16:13] <acovrig> h00k: that returns 'bash: add-apt-repository: command not found'
[16:13] <h00k> acovrig: which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[16:14] <guayja1> This one should be easy I want to change my login screen on lucid, I can't find information on it anywhere, any help?
[16:14] <acovrig> h00k: 9.04
[16:14] <Gwar> eoke, I do not think it is, because when i run ifconfig after, wlan0 is not up. It's just that after I put it back up, it hangs and wont connect until I right click the applett and disable/enable by hand
[16:14] <h00k> acovrig: that command doesn't exist in 9.04
[16:14] <acovrig> h00k: can I vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:15] <acovrig> h00k: I'd assume it came in 10 :|\
[16:15] <dr3mro> when will ubuntu support msn video chat ??????????????????????????????????????
[16:15] <h00k> acovrig: yes, or you can add it in System -> Administration -> Software Sources, check to see if that PPA has a jaunty port
[16:15] <h00k> ubottu: punctuation | dr3mro
[16:15] <Gwar> dr3mro, when it magically becomes windows
[16:16] <Gwar> MSN is a very much windows only program
[16:16] <h00k> dr3mro: clients like aMSN will.
[16:16] <eoke> Gwar: I do it on a debian box with ifconfig eth0 down but it doesn't have gnome on it.
[16:16] <p1l0t> dr3mro: its open source you are welcome to help develop whatever you want
[16:16] <dr3mro> Gwar, ? empathy did support video calls for some time then MS had changed servers and since then not working
[16:17] <ubutom_> dr3mro, there you have it, ask ms
[16:17] <acovrig> h00k: how do I vi that to the file? 'deb ppa://canonical-dx-team/une jaunty main'?
[16:18] <dr3mro> most of my friends are either on msn or yahoo and only one uses gtalk and in windows i can have voice video chat with them but in ubuntu i cant ....
[16:18] <acovrig> dr3mro: have you thought about vmware, or something like it?
[16:18] <p1l0t> dr3mro: or wine..
[16:19] <dr3mro> acovrig, are you serious ,, vmware for IM ... why the hassel ?
[16:19] <guayja1> newb question: how do I change my login screen?
[16:20] <dr3mro> p1l0t, I only want to use GNU software ... that why i dont use wine or vmare
[16:20] <h00k> acovrig: In looking in this repository, I don't know that you're going to be able to use Unity on 9.04
[16:20] <NinoScript> dr3mro, last time I checked, emesene and aMSN both supported video chat for MSN :)
[16:20] <Gwar> guayja1, you need Ubuntu-Tweak and GDM2
[16:20] <dr3mro> wine and vmware are bith GNU but they run non GNU
[16:20] <Gwar> guayja1, they are not in the repos iirc so you have to google them. Ubuntu Tweek will let you change the background and GDM2 will let you change the theme
[16:20] <guayja1> Gwar ok thanks,
[16:21] <acovrig> h00k: lol, ok, do you know of anything like it for a netbook (I don't much care for the netbook version of ubuntu)?
[16:21] <VCoolio> guayja1: gdm2 = login screen, search gdm2setup on launchpad.net for configuration, or ubuntutweak
[16:22] <h00k> acovrig: anything like what, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Anything like Unity? Gnome-shell, I suppose.
[16:23] <gbillings> I have a 250Gb clean hard drive, copletely formatted. What is the best partition scheme for speed. I am also goin to install fedora and Debian and would like all of the distros to share a /home.
[16:24] <e-DIO-t> man 5 sysctl.con
[16:24] <e-DIO-t> ...sorry
[16:24] <zenlunatic> gbillings, probaboly nothing for spped
[16:24] <VCoolio> gbillings: sharing /home may not be a good idea, it will share configs too for maybe different versions of the same apps
[16:24] <nesto1000> Hello, I was wondering hon how to install a program on Ubuntu 10.4 x64? I'm tying to install aegisubs from here http://www.aegisub.org/
[16:24] <e-DIO-t> gbillings, it depends on what are you going to store on it
[16:24] <zenlunatic> gbillings, seperate partitions is more a safety thing in case3 something crashes
[16:24] <punto> hi.. what do I need to do to "restart" my audio? it became all choppy suddenly
[16:24] <e-DIO-t> lots of little file -> Reiser; general purpose -> ext4
[16:25] <gbillings> alright. so should i have a 20 gb / a 5gb swap and 50 gb /home?
[16:25] <Maletor> When I do ssh -X<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"rhythmbox" it won't play on my local speakers. How do I make it play locally?
[16:25] <zenlunatic> gbillings, you can do that
[16:25] <VCoolio> gbillings: also some file systems differ on speed handling bigger or smaller files, eg. jfs for big files or reiserfs for small if I remember correctly
[16:25] <zenlunatic> gbillings, really the only thing you need to worry about is /boot being the right size
[16:26] <jrix> reiser -> kills your wife | ext4 -> not supported
[16:26] <e-DIO-t>  /boot right size = ? :P
[16:26] <VCoolio> gbillings: 5 Gb swap seems very overdone and 20 Gb / is plenty too
[16:26] <e-DIO-t> reiser -> kills your wife?!?!?
[16:26] <gbillings> how big should /boot be? 2-3 gb?
[16:26] <nesto1000> so can anyone help me out?
[16:26] <ech0> reiser -> kills your wife | ext4 -> not supported  hahahahahah
[16:26] <docmur_> I'm trying to use a preseed file to install my system unattended but I can't seem to get the preseed to select the Language , so I still have to select English / US
[16:26] <e-DIO-t> what's the matter nesto?!
[16:26] <moza> jrix : what system are you talking about when you say "not supported" for ext4 ?
[16:26] <zenlunatic> gbillings, really there i9s no perfect cookie cutter scheme
[16:27] <nesto1000> e-DIO-t, I was wondering hon how to install a program on Ubuntu 10.4 x64? I'm tying to install aegisubs from here http://www.aegisub.org/
[16:27] <zenlunatic> gbillings, for example if youre running any sort of server you need a big /var
[16:27] <raven> "error reading the registry" with sound-juicer what to do?
[16:27] <piglit> hello i upgraded to 10.4 and now the cross to kill a window is on the left side how can i get it back to the right side?
[16:27] <jrix> moza: bad joke sorry   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser
[16:27] <prakriti> gbillings, : boot should not be anywhere near that big
[16:27] <gbillings> it will be for music storage and programming. i need to be able to snapshot my fs and restore if i screw up.
[16:28] <prakriti> gbillings, : my /boot has 56M in it right now
[16:28] <zenlunatic> gbillings, you can also do logical volumes  and RAID
[16:28] <punto> is it possible to restart pulseaudio? is it a process?
[16:28] <e-DIO-t> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=934567
[16:28] <moza> jrix: ok :) i just installed 10.4 x64 all in ext4 and thats works soo fine, i just wondered ;)
[16:28] <raven> "error reading the REGISTRY" with sound-juicer what to do?
[16:28] <zenlunatic> gbillings, probably just do a seperate /home and /
[16:28] <e-DIO-t> nesto1000: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=934567 <- ps: get the libs, get the tarball, install the libs, install the tarball :)
[16:29] <gbillings> zelunatic and it will "just work?"
[16:29] <FlintWestWood> hi there, im tryint o set up ICS on 10.04. I wan to to share my internet that i have throughmy wired LAN port over my wireless
[16:30] <FlintWestWood> Unfortunately, it doesnt look like its working.. any guidance would be aweosme
[16:30] <gbillings> i was thinking about trying out btrfs because it is easy to restore to certain points. how can i install using btrfs with an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live cd?
[16:30] <raven> "error reading the REGISTRY" with sound-juicer what to do?
[16:30] <duffydack> This is annoying.  I used ssh-copy-id to put my key (ive done a 100 times before on other machines) on the server, i now login fine without password, as it should, i rebooted the server, its asking for damn password again. arghh.
[16:31] <zenlunatic> gbillings, just use fdisk and mkfs
[16:31] <ech0> raven reposting same thing over and over wont help you, if no one can help try again l8tr
[16:31] <nesto1000> e-DIO-t, what is libs and tarball?
[16:31] <durt> FlintWestWood, how far have you gotten? did you read the page on help.ubuntu.com?
[16:31] <e-DIO-t> ...duffy: wouldn't it be simpler putting your your ssh-keygenerated id in AllowedKeys of your ssh.conf on the server to get the same result?
[16:32] <e-DIO-t> nesto1000, tarball = .tar.gz files :)
[16:32] <duffydack> e-DIO-t, it`d be simpler if it worked like its supposed to, like every other time ive used it
[16:32] <e-DIO-t> libs = libraries
[16:32] <erUSUL> gbillings: btrfs still experimentall... may be an option in 10.10
[16:32] <gbillings> zelunatic what do you mean? im trying to install from ubuntu 10.04?
[16:32] <e-DIO-t> well...i use this way and it gives me no problem ...so let's talk about it :)
[16:32] <FlintWestWood> yes, i followed the howto as best as i could
[16:32] <nesto1000> e-DIO-t, ah I see.... so i have to download 2 files?
[16:32] <e-DIO-t> dunno
[16:32] <zenlunatic> gbillings, if you dont know what fdisk is you probably dont want to be doing all that
[16:33] <ubutom_> zenlunatic, partitions can be alterd during install with a gui, simpler for beginners than fdisk and so on
[16:33] <newbizCAT> hello...can I ask here for help using ooBase...or is there a specific channel for this purpose?
[16:33] <FlintWestWood> i wasnt able to stop the network manager( the command didnt work) but when i click on the network icon it shows eth1 connected and the name of the network i made. but i cant pick up the wifi signal
[16:34] <duffydack> So ive found something out.  I logged into the other machine locally with the same user/pass im trying here.  then I ssh`d again and no password prompt...logged out both machines, and its asking password...odd
[16:34] <e-DIO-t> wait...let's start from the beginning duffydack
[16:34] <gbillings> Okay let me clear stuff up. I would like to be able to restore my OS if something goes wrong without losing my personal documents/music. Is there a way to seperate these to things on my HD? if so, how big should i make each?
[16:34] <ks3> duffydack, Are you using ecryptfs on your home directory?
[16:35] <doughed2003> FlintWestWood: what wireless device do you use?
[16:35] <duffydack> ks3,  bingo..... I forgot about that...
[16:35] <duffydack> I have another user on the machine im ssh`n into without problems
[16:35] <FlintWestWood> the interface name is wlan1
[16:35] <duffydack> thats not encrypted
[16:35] <c3l> gbillings: mount /home on a different partition than where / is
[16:35] <erUSUL> gbillings: make home a separate partition. a 15 GiB root plus the rest for /home is a good splitup
[16:35] <erUSUL> !separatehome | gbillings
[16:35] <gidna> I can't play yahoo games with ubuntu..
[16:36] <ech0> gbillings if your drive fries having backup on same disk wont save u
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> gbillings:   i go as far as put /home on its own seperate (HUGE) hard drive. :)
[16:36] <Riiiis> Does any of you have a Creative DAP Jukebox connected to your box ?
[16:36] <duffydack> ks3, so its gonna ask everytime if its not logged in locally (decrypted) ? anyway around it
[16:36] <doughed2003> FlintWestWood: no tha neame of the device like linksys,belkin?
 no but i have 2 other daap boxes if thats any help
[16:37] <doughed2003> FlintWestWood:on the pc not the router
[16:37] <FlintWestWood> oh.. um im tryint o connect my phone to the network.. htc dream
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> hey guys, does Evolution need to be running all the time to receive new mail notifications in Lucid?
[16:37] <gidna> can you help me?
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> gidna:  depends on what you mean by yahoo games..
[16:37] <erUSUL> !ask | gidna
[16:37]  * erUSUL oops
[16:37] <gbillings> i only have one HD, its a 250GB brand new completely formatted. so, i should have a 512mb "/boot" 15gb "/" 3gb "swap" and the rest "/home"?
[16:37] <doughed2003> FlintWestWood: sorry not fermilar with phone connections
[16:37] <gidna> I want to play chess.. I've installed java but nothing
[16:37] <erUSUL> gbillings: looks ok
[16:38] <Riiiis> ech0, i have this old DAP, but i cant connect to it, i have found the software, but it complains about the right hardware not being present
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> gbillings:  thats about right. I normally dont botyher with a /boot/ these days.. but you can if you want
[16:38] <FlintWestWood> lok, thanks anyway
[16:38] <ks3> duffydack, Not that I know of :(
[16:38] <gidna> it says : This game cannot be played using your current settings. Please, try the following:
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> gidna:  perhaps give a url to the game.
[16:38] <raven> "error reading the REGISTRY" with sound-juicer what to do?
[16:38] <gidna> http://it.play.yahoo.com/games/login?game=Chess
 on the daap box or on ubuntu?
[16:39] <gbillings> now how should i partition each? i was thinking ext3 for "/boot" ext3 for "/" swap for "swap" and ext3 for "/home"
[16:39] <durt> FlintWestWood, wouldn't that be bluetooth?
[16:39] <silvan46> ciao
[16:39] <doughed2003> FlintWestWood: you could try the Wicd program but you would need to connect to your router with a cable and un-install network manager then install wicd but i don't know if it would help
[16:39] <erUSUL> gbillings: ext4 for everything ( excpt swap of course)
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> gbillings:  why not use ext4 :)
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> gbillings: i use 5Gb /, 3Gb swap and the rest for /home
[16:40] <Riiiis> ech0, hmm not daap, its a dap (Digital Audio Player) and its just a mp3-player, so its on the pc i have the problem
[16:40] <FlintWestWood> no, the phone has both wifi and bluetooth. in the us its called a tmobile g1. its a htc android phone
[16:40] <gbillings> ok what makes ext3 < ext4?
[16:40] <FlintWestWood> how do i stop the network manager in 10.04
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> gbillings: it's not better, its different. both have advantages and disadvantages
[16:40] <ech0> ahhh, sorry cabt help, i missread as daap (itunes server basically), my bad, sorry again
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> gbillings:  its faster in many cases.
[16:41] <Riiiis> ech0, its ok
[16:41] <gidna> I want to play yahoo games and ubuntu doesn't allow me it's not correct
[16:41] <gbillings> ok wish me luck in my partitioning! thank you everone! this is one thing that windows doesent have... an AWESOME community :)
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> FlintWestWood: right click it, exit  maybe
[16:41] <newbizCAT> I'm creating a database using ooBase. Fields in a table are: "Name", "AttemptsSucceeded" and "NumberOfAttempts". I made a query with a calculated field "Result" which comes from ("AttemptsSucceded" / "NumberOfAttempts") * 10. The problem is that ooBase forces me to set "AttemptsSucceeded" and "NumberOfAttempts" to a couple of Decimals, otherwise it gives just "0" or "1" as a result. Why is that?
 good luck, off top of head most media players in*buntu have plugins for supporting different mp3 players
[16:42] <grendal_prime> i need a text to speech desktop app what do you recommend
[16:42] <doughed2003> FlintWestWood: just click on it and chose witch one you want to stop
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> gidna:  the few yahoo games i looked at are downloadble windows versions, or refuse to run in my browser because they want IE/Windows..
[16:42] <p1l0t> gidna: It's not Ubuntu... You are probably missing the proper plugin for whatever browser your using
[16:42] <iflema> newbizCAT try joining #openoffice.org also http://www.oooforum.org/
[16:42] <gidna> I'm using firefox
[16:42] <RyanP> ginda, It seemed to work for me. Do you have a java plugin installed?
[16:43] <newbizCAT> thanks iflema ;)
[16:43] <sequethin> if anyone is interested, I was able to resolve my "package is in an inconsistent state" issue by going into /var/lib/dpkg/info/, removing the related files, and then removing/purging with force the package by name. what a pita that was! but thanks again BluesKaj and others who helped me out
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> RyanP:  you using sun java? or the other java? that may be an issue. I cant get it work at all.. because I dont have a yahoo account. :)
[16:44] <p1l0t> gidna: my bad yahoo games has changed.. it used to be all online now you have to download them. Your going to need to install vmware or wine or something because there are not made for linux
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> sequethin: yeah ive seen folk have to do that
[16:44] <durt> sequethin, what package was that?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> sequethin: its one weakness in package based systems
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> p1l0t:  it seems to depend on the game. some are win exe's with web 'versions' that are limited..
[16:44] <gbillings> ok one last question. should i have tmp on a seperate partition
[16:44] <moises> where can vmware be found at, i've tried online for the past 2 weeks and nothing
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> !vmware | moises
[16:45] <ech0> i have tmp as a tmpfs
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> gbillings: i never have personally
[16:45] <gidna> What should I do if I want to play chess?
[16:45] <LjL> are these games multiplayer? because if not, there's certainly lots of chess games in the repos
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> moises:  you may want to try virtualbox
[16:45] <docmur_> is there away to get it to select the lanugage and country from the preseed
[16:45] <RyanP> Dr_Willis, Yes, sun java.
[16:45] <moises> alright thanx
[16:45] <LjL> gidna: is this multiplayer or do you play against a computer?
[16:45] <sequethin> durt: it was zend-server ce, i have no idea what happened i just ran aptitude update and safe-upgrade like i usually do but today it caused a problem
[16:45] <gidna> multiplyer
[16:45] <gbillings> virtuabox is now owned and managed by oracle :(
[16:46] <sequethin> durt: once you start using 3rd party repos... who knows what will transpire haha... ;)
[16:46] <ech0> i may survive under oricle, maybe
[16:46] <LjL> gidna: there is a client for the GGZ Gaming Zone in the package 'ggz-gtk-games'. you might want to try that instead
[16:46] <LjL> or 'ggz-kde-games' if you're running KDE
[16:46] <RyanP> gidna, Do you have java installed?
[16:47] <durt> sequethin, ah, well find 'em and give 'em hell for that waste of time, file a bug etc.
[16:47] <BluesKaj> sequethin, usually aptitude tracks the dependencies quite well and seldom screws up
[16:47] <gidna> yes I do
[16:47] <beli> hi there! i want to send a file to my mobile via bluetooth. i tried to start the bluetooth stack via sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start, but gives no output and checking its status tells me that its still not started. what to do?
[16:47] <p1l0t> gidna: Ubuntu Software Center (or synaptic pakage manager) and search chess you will find online multiplayer versions
[16:47] <gidna> may be a missing plugin...
[16:48] <joanne>  /msg CalebJamesDeLisl
[16:49] <RyanP> gidna, Do you know what installation of Java you're using? Do you have the java plugin installed for your browser? I'm using Ubuntu, I was able to start the chess program you linked to. (Well I changed to a Canadian site)
[16:50] <NFischer> i want to download file "http://whatever/1" to "http://whatever/15" throuegh wget, ho do i do that?
[16:50] <erUSUL> gidna for the java plugin you want sun-java6-plugin or icedtea6-plugin
[16:50] <gidna> I'm using mozilla firefox java plugin installed for your browser
[16:50] <gidna> sorry
[16:50] <erUSUL> NFischer: wget http://whatever/{1..15}
[16:50] <gidna> I'm using java version "1.6.0_18"
[16:51] <NFischer> erUSUL, n1 thx!
[16:52] <gidna> Have I to install Sun java 6.0 Plugin?
[16:52] <sain> need help with mirc
[16:52] <sequethin> BluesKaj: wasn't a dependency problem, really.. actually have no idea what it was.. what i'm scared about now is that this happend on my test server and i'm wondering whats going to happen when i do updates on my production box (which i will eventually)
[16:52] <erUSUL> gidna: well the plugin is a separate install from the jre. make sure you have the plugin doing « about:plugins » in firefox url bar
[16:52] <h00k> sain: you can join ##mirc for mIRC assistance
[16:53] <peturi> How can i limit the amount of CPU time an application gets?
[16:53] <sequethin> and i refuse to believe ubuntu server isn't suitable for production, regardless of the fud I've seen flying around the net
[16:53] <p1l0t> sain: /join ##mirc
[16:53] <sequethin> peturi: i think you can use "nice" for that
[16:53] <sain> I want to swiich to  irc.thefuzz4.net in mirc  but dont know how
[16:53] <ech0> dont ask here
[16:53] <benlieb> Question: is there a command that will output the processor's current work load, like 82%
[16:54] <h00k> sain: This isn't an mIRC support channel, please join their channel and check there
[16:54] <erUSUL> benlieb: top ?
[16:54] <sain> ##mirc
[16:54] <p1l0t> sain: /connect irc.thefuzz4.net
[16:54] <peturi> sequethin: renice-ing the PID will only change the prioritiy, and it has no effect on the process as long as there are no other processess competing for the CPU time.. i need to "sufficate" the process and allow it to run at say maximum 20% of the potential power of the cpu.
[16:54] <Kagee> I've got a ati5870 working fine with 2 monitors. Is it possible to get three monitors using this one card via flgrx or the radeon-driver?
[16:55] <gbillings> partitioning... all looking good
[16:55] <c3l> doesnt functions inside functions inherit their parents variables?
[16:56] <gidna> I'm install java 6.0 Browse plugins
[16:56] <erUSUL> peturi: look into using cgroups http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cgroups.txt
[16:56] <peturi> Thanks
[16:57] <Pici> c3l: This question would probably be more relevant in the channel for whatever language you're programming in.
[16:57] <benlieb> erUSUL: i think that's what I'll have to do. I'm trying to set up some benchmarks for my web app, and want to correlate page loads with processor activity. I need to find a way to store the procesor load as an int. I guess some top flag combined with awk/grep
[16:57] <c3l> Pici: hahah thanks for notifying me, wrong channel

[16:58] <beli> noone here using bluetooth?
[16:58] <ech0> jef, could be wrong but think you need to apt-get RTK
[16:58] <gbillings> !anyone
[16:58] <erUSUL> benlieb: use something like sas ( form sysstat package )
[16:59] <erUSUL> benlieb: sar sorry

[16:59] <iflema> Jef91 yes it does
[16:59] <gbillings> beli: not talking to you lol
[16:59] <beli> gbillings: ok
[16:59] <ech0> my bad, wasnt sure
[16:59] <berkes> My CUPS seems to crash, stop or stall about every day. 1. I cannot find what log this should be logged in 2. any known issues?
[16:59] <darklust> Haha ok what I was going to ask: Is there a way to download ALL packages to an external harddrive of mine?
[17:00] <darklust> An easy way, not like laboring and downloading them individually
[17:00] <erUSUL> berkes: /var/log/cups/error_log ?
[17:00] <Pici> /2/2
[17:00] <Pici> oops
[17:00] <gbillings> darklust: every package? how big is your ext hard drive?
[17:00] <darklust> gbillings, 320gb, but I just want main and universe
[17:01] <durt> !bluetooth > beli
[17:01] <gbillings> this might help you out a little. too much info to paste http://www.planetoss.com/detail.php?id=13
[17:01] <berkes> erUSUL: thanks. (so much for using GUI tools, I used the logviewer, instead of tail -F *, hence found no cups logs.)
[17:01] <wireshark> hello i opened the synaptic and it says this " An error occured....The following details are provided:......E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[17:01] <wireshark> what is this about?
[17:01] <wireshark> could anyone help?
[17:02] <Pici> wireshark: have you tried running the command that it suggests?
[17:02] <iflema> Jef91 actually not with 10.04 Lucid Lynx
[17:02] <erUSUL> berkes: no problem
[17:02] <wireshark> Pici:  no, idont know what it does
[17:02] <benlieb> erUSUL: k thanks. will try
[17:02] <durt> wireshark, your update was interrupted, follow the instructions to recover
[17:03] <X3> wireshark: do what it says to correct problem
[17:03] <gbillings> darklust: you can also (i believe) use an ubuntu installable media disk i.e. a live cd as a package source by enabling it in software sources
[17:03] <erUSUL> benlieb: the only gui a found for sar is ksar... you may want to take a look too (no packaged)
[17:03] <Pici> wireshark: It attempts to force the configuration of packages that may have been interrupted
[17:03] <darklust> gbillings, Thanks I'll check this out
[17:03] <wireshark> i wont have a problem after that X3?
[17:03] <X3> wireshark: it says specific run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[17:04] <wireshark> yes X3
[17:04] <X3> wireshark: iso do what it says lol
[17:04] <NFischer> Hi everybd. does "one must not compile" mean that one does not have to or that one is not allowed at all to compile?

[17:04] <AcidX> hello guys i have 1 problem. I installed ubuntu from alternate cd, now when i bot it i just see blank screen. I use ati radeon 2600 HD graphic card. Can someone help me ?
[17:04] <X3> dpkg is a package manager
[17:04] <gbillings> NFischer: where did it say that line?
[17:04] <erUSUL> NFischer: it is allways better to find a deb package
[17:04] <X3> !dpkg
[17:05] <NFischer> gbillings, im just not sure about the english...
[17:05] <raven> "error reading the REGISTRY" with sound-juicer what to do?
[17:05] <beli> durt: the problem is that hcitool dev doesnt find any bt device...but i know its there and working. any kernel modules i am missing?

[17:05] <littlepenguin> hi someone here with a fritz box who can tell me how to disable the childsecure that is polling on port 14013??i found the settings but it is disabled for all pcs..so how can i globally disable this?
[17:05] <X3> np
[17:05] <NFischer> gbillings, whether "must not" means there is no necessity to it or you should not do it at all
[17:06] <durt> beli, you have a dongle/internal bt?
[17:06] <AcidX> hello guys i have 1 problem. I installed ubuntu from alternate cd, now when i bot it i just see blank screen. I use ati radeon 2600 HD graphic card. Can someone help me ?
[17:06] <beli> durt: internal
[17:06] <twisted`> yo guys :) grub2 is driving me nuts. I could reallly use some help here
[17:06] <ks3> NFischer, I would interpret that to mean that it is not permitted / allowed
[17:06] <twisted`> I installed ubuntu on a second disk to test if the disk was OK... but it broke my original grub2
[17:06] <X3> twisted`: no biigie with grub2
[17:06] <NFischer> k thx
[17:07] <beli> twisted`: if you just want to have it quick fixed try supergrub
[17:07] <littlepenguin> acidx when you press ctrl +alt +f1 do you get a shell??
[17:07] <wireshark> X3: it says now "You have 1 broken package on your system!  Use the "Broken" filter to locate it."
[17:07] <wireshark> :S
[17:07] <twisted`> X3: well I get thrown into rescue but I cannot type anything useful
[17:07] <twisted`> X3: when I type help it says doesn't exist, it doesn't take any commands
[17:07] <X3> twisted`: try recovery system
[17:07] <AcidX> i don't get anything :S i tried it, even in recovery mode .. i just see some text, then again black screen
[17:07] <durt> beli, first thing I would do is lspci, or lshw, and see if there are any specific issues with that hardware, for me my bt dongle is atomatic when put in.
[17:07] <twisted`> X3: "try recovery system" ??
[17:08] <twisted`> I've been fighting with grub2 for more then 4 hours now
[17:08] <twisted`> I'm kinda sick/tired of this atm...
[17:08] <X3> !recovery > twisted`
[17:08] <twisted`> lilo is a piece of shit but atleast works
[17:08] <h00k> !language | twisted`
[17:08] <twisted`> great they couldn't include the recovery on the normal disk?
[17:09] <harriv> Hi, I updated to version 10.04 and now the menu bars on the desktop are empty, any ideas how to fix?
[17:09] <X3> wireshark: do what it says about broken package when you know its name do aptitude purge package-name
[17:09] <X3> twisted`: yes it is ncluded
[17:09] <twisted`> X3: didn;t see the option while booting
[17:09] <wireshark> X3:  it's this package broken Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture independent files)
[17:10] <AcidX> ill go try it again if i have any luck, otherwise ill try with the live cd :/
[17:10] <wireshark> i have to unistall it X3?
[17:10] <Vilemaxim> Is there an "upgrade" from Debian Lenny to Ubuntu server 10.04... or is reinstall the way to go?
[17:10] <X3> wireshark: purge it is better aptitude purge package-name
[17:10] <erUSUL> Vilemaxim: reinstall
[17:10] <jaap_> hoi
[17:10] <berkes> erUSUL: btw, the lines in the error log answered q2: it lead me to a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/444597. Thanks again. :)
[17:10] <durt> Vilemaxim, ditto
[17:10] <twisted`> rebooting... I hope I can see the recovery bit
[17:11] <wireshark> X3:  what i have to do now...i am a begginer with linux
[17:11] <jaap_> windows vista is goed!
[17:11] <Pici> Vilemaxim: Crossgrading is completely unsupported.
[17:11] <jaap_> xD
[17:11] <jaap_> lalalalalalalalala
[17:11] <erUSUL> berkes: you're wellcome ;)
[17:11] <h00k> !ot | jaap_
[17:11] <X3> !purge > wireshark
[17:11] <guntbert> twisted`: press <shift> to get the grub menu
[17:11] <jaap_> huh???
[17:11] <Pici> jaap_: This is a support channel, do you have a question?
[17:11] <X3> !purge > wireshark
[17:11] <twisted`> guntbert: where exactly? in the ubuntu 10.04 boot cd?
[17:11] <Vilemaxim> You guys could break it to me a little more softly. I cry every time I reinstall
[17:12] <Pici> X3: That isn't a valid factoid.
[17:12] <X3> lol
[17:12] <X3> should
[17:12] <twisted`> I can now choose Try ubuntu, install, check disc, test memory, boot from hdd
[17:12] <wireshark> X3:  i can;t understand you
[17:12] <enthdegree> When I try to log in with an openbox session it kicks me back to the login screen. (It gets past authentication, since I can log in using gnome. ) Help appreciated
[17:12] <enthdegree> !purge
[17:12] <X3> wireshark: you must type aptitude purge package-name
[17:12] <Pici> X3: suggest it if you think it should be there. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for instructions how.
[17:12] <beli> durt: it just finds the broadcom nic, but not the broadcom bt module....i checked dmesg, lsusb, lshw, lspci
[17:12] <twisted`> I just want it to friggin reinstall grub based on the files it has in /etc/grub.d/
[17:12] <Pici> enthdegree: If it wasn't a factoid for X3, it isn't going to be one for you either ;)
[17:13] <X3> lol
[17:13] <enthdegree> Pici: ):
[17:13] <X3> omg
[17:13] <twisted`> but for some reason it says the hdd it needs to boot is *gone*
[17:13] <guntbert> twisted`: choose try ubuntu there - you get a complete ubuntu with all possibilities
[17:13] <LjL> !lol | X3
[17:13] <twisted`> guntbert: yeah except it doesn't do *^W$%& for me cause I cannot do update-grub
[17:13] <twisted`> cause it doesn't find a /
[17:13] <durt> beli, either you don't have one, or the broadcom device is dual nic/bt.
[17:13] <X3> !aptitude purge

[17:14] <durt> beli, yup
[17:14] <twisted`> Aidar-Nagato: echo "\n"
[17:14] <wireshark> X3:  this command?---->   aptitude purge sun-java6-jre   ???
[17:14] <guntbert> twisted`: please follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD
[17:14] <X3> wireshark: yes
[17:15] <twisted`> I just need... it to boot from the hdd... ONCE so I can get back into ubuntu on the hdd and fix it
[17:15] <twisted`> but that's too much to ask from a modern os... cause oh no... grub was too easy...
[17:15] <wireshark> X3:  does it wants sudo?
[17:15] <Aidar-Nagato> twisted`: no, i tried it
[17:15] <drothli_w> Is there any documentation on iptables mask option for address filtering?
[17:15] <X3> wireshark: prolly
[17:15] <beli> durt: it comes with intel 5100 agn
[17:16] <X3> wireshark: I only run as root so you prolly need sudo b4
[17:16] <wireshark> X3:  without sudo it says this ---->  http://pastebin.com/2xxvuuGB
[17:16] <wireshark> is that allright X3?
[17:16] <ubutom_> twisted`, look into chroot then
[17:16] <twisted`> ubutom_: I did
[17:16] <twisted`> it cannot be done
[17:16] <twisted`> it refuses cause it doesn't have a / from inside the live cd
[17:16] <Pici> wireshark: You need to run that command with sudo.
[17:17] <twisted`> I am just _extremely_ dissapointed in the fact that it has been chosen to take unstable software and release and throw it into the face of normal people
[17:17] <guntbert> twisted`: did you follow the instructions I sent you?
[17:17] <thune3> Aidar-Nagato: echo -e "\n"
[17:17] <X3> I dont do sudo its a dirty word but newbies have to
[17:17] <twisted`> guntbert: just saw it
[17:18] <X3> eh pici
[17:18] <durt> beli, don't think thats it, maybe boot into win to see what it's recognized as, usb?
[17:18] <twisted`> guntbert: k I'll try
[17:18] <twisted`> might as well
[17:18] <twisted`> system is still broken
[17:18] <Pici> X3: That may be your opinion, but we do not support setting a root password here.
[17:18] <guntbert> twisted`: Good luck :-)
[17:18] <wireshark> X3:  it still broken
[17:18] <twisted`> guntbert: word
[17:18] <X3> Pici: fair enough if you cant do it you shouldnt be told how to ;)
[17:19] <Aidar-Nagato> thune3: thank you)
[17:19] <twisted`> no cause imagine having a root password
[17:19] <twisted`> your life could be made... easy
[17:19] <X3> wireshark: broken ok what does it say now
[17:20] <wireshark> X3:  its still broken
[17:20] <wireshark> maybe i have to remove it?
[17:21] <wireshark> X3:  plz what i have to do?
[17:21] <X3> wireshark: aptitude purge is removing it maybe try dpkg -r package

[17:27] <AcidX> Can i just try to wget and sh the driver when in console :)?
[17:27] <twisted`> can I boot the ubuntu live cd in cli only?
[17:28] <ubutom_> SmokeyD, make sure you are not currently on the fs via shell
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> twisted`: no, its keeping the channel family friendly. If people started cussing on kids shows at 3pm and our kid was watching it you'd be upset wouldn't you.
[17:28] <twisted`> SmokeyD: make sure your not yourself on that path
[17:28] <SmokeyD> ubutom_: I am not
[17:28] <twisted`> ActionParsnip: not really
[17:28] <ubutom_> SmokeyD, ok, common case
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> twisted`: well most folk would, its also the channel rules
[17:29] <durt> dotnetted, if you don't get an answer try asking on #ubuntu-server
[17:29] <h00k> ubottu: tell twisted` about guidelines

[17:34] <p1l0t> dominicdinada: running boinc?
[17:35] <RFleming> I've got an ubuntu box that won't boot.  It's using MD and LVG's.  When the system boots it states "md1: raid array not clean" and says it's doing background reconstruction.  It then dies with a kernel panic as it can't find /sbin/init and something about vsync
[17:35] <dominicdinada> p1l0t: nope
[17:35] <RFleming> booting into recovery mode, the arrays look fine, and the partitions in the LVG are clean.  I can mount them and see them
[17:35] <durt> dominicdinada, you're not showing proccesses owned by root?
[17:35] <RFleming> fsck shows everything is fine as well.
[17:35] <osmodivs> Wow, it actually worked
[17:35] <RFleming> what can I do to get the system to boot again.
[17:35] <dominicdinada> hmmm gksudo it  ?
[17:36] <p1l0t> dominicdinada: have you tried running top or something to find out which process?
[17:36] <osmodivs> I think Ubuntu is Unstable
[17:36] <bazhang> !details | osmodivs
[17:36] <osmodivs> Every time you try to tweak something, it Fu**s up
[17:36] <osmodivs> And you have to re install everything
[17:36] <osmodivs> I have re installed Ubuntu at least 10 times in 3 months
[17:36] <p1l0t> osmodivs: what were you tweaking?
[17:37] <osmodivs> Sound
[17:37] <bazhang> osmodivs, watch the language
[17:37] <dominicdinada> p1l0t: I only have been running gnome system monitor and well it all of a sudden showed 100% cpu usage with no user run apps showing any cpu usage
[17:37] <osmodivs> I cant make my 5.1 sound system work, it only uses 3 speakers
[17:37]  * G69 Bem-Vindo ao Mata-Mata
[17:37] <dominicdinada> backend ? wtf
[17:37] <dominicdinada> !backend
[17:37] <h00k> !language | dominicdinada
[17:37] <dominicdinada> backend is the app in question
[17:38] <dominicdinada> opps sorry
[17:38] <osmodivs> I tryed to GEDIT the pulse audio and thats when it all started
[17:38] <cannonball> Weird, my ipod was working great with 9.10, but now with 10.04 (fresh install)I get nothing in dmesg when I plug it in.  Tried two different ipod cables, no change.  I know the hub it's plugged into is working properly because my USB keyboard is plugged into that hub.  Google has been no help yet.  Any suggestions?
[17:38] <twisted`> guntbert: thanks bro
[17:38] <twisted`> k laptop can go back into the closet... whoo-hoo
[17:38] <sno> cannonball: try plugging it directly in to the usb port on computer, any difference in log if you tail it ?
[17:39] <cannonball> Of note, this is a new ipod nano, 16 GB silver, just in case it matters.  sno, will try.
[17:39] <guntbert> twisted`: did it finally work four you?
[17:39] <dominicdinada> p1l0t: backend is the app in question with 70+ % utilization
[17:39] <eoke> cannonball: Probably of little assistance but my partners ipod nano works fine with 10.04 32 and 64bit
[17:39] <osmodivs> One cuestion for UBUNTU experts, How do I add this address to the XChat? irc://irc.freenode.net/#yafaray
[17:39] <sno> cannonball: if its a new ipod then maybe it has to be "activated" on an itunes capable system the first time? i have no idea really
[17:40] <Pici> osmodivs: Just /join #yafaray     You're already on freenode.
[17:40] <bazhang> osmodivs, add to auto join list in xchat
[17:40] <p1l0t> dominicdinada: backend is for printing I think
[17:40] <dominicdinada> hmmm does anybody Else know what it is for ?
[17:40] <eoke> dominicdinada: backend is indeed the cups transmission thingy
[17:40] <cannonball> could be.  eoke was on to something though.  I plugged it directly in to the computer, it saw it, mounted it, and started up rhythmbox.  It used to do that when plugged into my hub on 9.10, but now with 10.04 it looks like I need to plugin direct.
[17:41] <osmodivs> I mean, do i have to write as it is in then ADD window?
[17:41] <osmodivs> it is not working
[17:41] <dominicdinada> well someone was haxoring it it spiked upto 90% for 5  mins right before I killed it...
[17:41] <dominicdinada> !cups
[17:41] <eoke> cannonball: Have you tried power cycling the hub might just be having a bad day.  Also my hub gets upset attached to a KVM
[17:42] <Babalabon> would ubuntu ever go unmanaged?
[17:42] <jpds> Babalabon: Howos?
[17:42] <osmodivs_> It didn't worked
[17:43] <p1l0t> dominicdinada: Were you just printing something or is this a common occurance?
[17:43] <cannonball> eoke: I'll load some music on it, eject, then try on the hub again.  it was quite plain that there was no dmesg output when plugging into the hub.  Yes, I power cycled it twice...saw keyboard and mouse go away and come back and be recognized in dmesg, but never saw ipod in dmesg.  Also, lsusb didn't see the ipod.
[17:43] <Babalabon> jpds: could the people that dev ubuntu, would they ever?
[17:43] <RFleming> anyone with any ideas?
[17:44] <livingdaylight> I have a question about removing wine
[17:44] <jpds> Babalabon: There's plenty of us and loads of organisations which depends on Ubuntu.
[17:45] <livingdaylight> although I completely removed wine using synaptic folders are still showing in menu. Also there seem to be confiuration files which synaptic doesn't remove, even though I have stipulated 'complete' purge
[17:45] <wireshark> i have a problem with sun-java6-jre...could anyone help?
[17:45] <livingdaylight> It would be nice to be able to remove an application without having to go all over the filesystem looking for folders, especially when one doesn't know which or where!
[17:45] <pakair> livingdaylight, you could edit menus and unselect wine
[17:45] <Babalabon> If I had a question/suggestion that Id like the developers of ubuntu to include in future versions, how do I do that?
[17:45] <wireshark> plz it's very important
[17:46] <Pici> livingdaylight: 'purge' will never remove user specific configuration files, such as those in your home directory.  You will need to remove ~/.wine manually.
[17:46] <Pici> !brainstorm | Babalabon
[17:46] <wireshark> Pici:  could you help?
[17:46] <eoke> wireshark: Ask the question and any one who can will probably help.
[17:46] <fixxxermet> I have a desktop with ubuntu 9.10.   I also have an ubuntu 10.04 cd.  How can I upgrade the desktop with the CD?
[17:46] <Pici> wireshark: With?
[17:46] <livingdaylight> pakair: but is that not simply cosmetic? After I removed and reinstalled Spotify it didn't enter Menu because i had previously de-selected it
[17:46] <durt> livingdaylight, removing the windows apps data automatically would be a bad thing.
[17:46] <wireshark> ok w8 eoke and Pici
[17:47] <wireshark> to tell you all about it
[17:47] <livingdaylight> Pici:  I removed .wine, but there are even more files further hidden elsewhere too!
[17:47] <Pici> wireshark: Please ask your question all on one line, it makes it much eaiser for the helpers here to follow.
[17:47] <wireshark> ok Pici
[17:47] <pakair> livingdaylight, I agree with you, removing an app should remove the menu entry ... but in some case, it  doesn't.
[17:47] <wireshark> :)
[17:49] <s_snake> Hi. I can't update anything. I'm running netbook edition on a netbook. I get this error when running the update manager:
[17:49] <s_snake> Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu-Netbook 10.04 _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429.4)/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs

[17:49] <s_snake> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[17:49] <FloodBot3> s_snake: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:50] <iflema> fixxxermet using the alternate cd.... however you may need to remove applications to complete the upgrade which may break the upgrade... best to do online...
[17:50] <p1l0t> s_snake is that computer online? and if so which repository are you using?
[17:50] <fixxxermet> iflema: Ok, thanks.
[17:51] <s_snake> p1l0t: yep I'm chatting from it currently. And I'm using whatever was default.
[17:51] <eoke> s_nake: You might find if you remove the cd source that it'll go online to find what it's looking for.
[17:52] <s_snake> eoke: so how would I do that?
[17:53] <eoke> s_snake: System > Administration > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software Tab and untick the CD at the bottom.  Somebody else want to confirm that's right before he goes ahead.
[17:53] <peturi> erUSUL sequethin: I found a solution to my cpu limit problem and placed in on my blog: "How-to: Limit the CPU% on a process in Ubuntu 10.04
[17:53] <x-calibur> hi there, I have this issue with postfix using my .local tld, how can i change this to a .com or something like that?
[17:54] <peturi> http://www.petur.eu/blog/?p=106&preview=true
[17:54] <erUSUL> peturi: cgroups? or something else ?
[17:54] <peturi> cpulimit
[17:55] <p1l0t> eoke: Its fine he can always retick it if needbe.
[17:56] <x-calibur> i have posted my issue at pastebin, can someone take a look http://pastebin.com/wWyE84Dm
[17:56] <s_snake> eoke: thank you that seems to have done it. Can I ask what that checkbox does exactly?
[17:56] <wireshark> here is my problem---->  http://pastebin.com/2K91ZD0K
[17:56] <wireshark> Pici:  eoke
[17:56] <wireshark> could anyone help?
[17:57] <dominicdinada> x-calibur: it says it right there that your verification failed
[17:57] <p1l0t> s_snake: it tells it to check the cd first instead of the online repository
[17:57] <x-calibur> dominicdinada: i understand, but how can i change the .local part??
[17:58] <dominicdinada> !smtp
[17:58] <wireshark> dominicdinada:  could you help me?
[17:59] <dominicdinada> wireshark: whats the problem
[17:59] <wireshark> here is my problem---->  http://pastebin.com/2K91ZD0K
[17:59] <s_snake> p1l0t: I see. that would be problematic considering I don't have an optical drive. :P Thanks again everyone.
[17:59] <eoke> s_snake: Ubuntu has a list of sources or places from which it can get software, in this case you had an entry for a CD that you didn't have.  So by unticking it Ubuntu fell back to the next best option of getting it over the internet.
[18:00] <s_snake> eoke: thanks.
[18:00] <wireshark> eoke:  did you saw my problem?
[18:00] <wireshark> see*
[18:00] <dominicdinada> wireshark: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[18:00] <eoke> wireshark: Have you run the command it suggests?
[18:00] <wireshark> which one?
[18:01] <p1l0t> broken
[18:01] <dominicdinada> it almost looks like he has software center/synaptic open while he is trying to run these commands
[18:01] <eoke> wireshark: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:01] <wireshark> eoke:  you didn't read what i was writing
[18:01] <wireshark> i wrote it
[18:02] <dominicdinada> wireshark: you can not have open more than one package manager at a time, while doing things. IE software center/synaptic/commandline
[18:02] <wireshark> dominicdinada:  what i have to do now?
[18:02] <dominicdinada> wireshark: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto  read here how to fix your problem
[18:02] <wireshark> ok
[18:02] <eoke> Sorry wireshark trying to answer a few queries at once.
[18:02] <dominicdinada> wireshark: make sure you are only using ONE of those at a time
[18:03] <wireshark> dominicdinada:  the problem began when i installed the java
[18:03] <Helloer> Hello, my ubuntu 10.04 hangs on "running /scripts/init-bottom Done." how i can fix it?
[18:03] <dominicdinada> wireshark: well the obvious first step would be to remove it. reinstall it or other
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[18:04] <wireshark> dominicdinada:  i tried to remove it but i couldnt
[18:04] <aeon-ltd> ActionParsnip: yo yo yo
[18:04] <dominicdinada> wireshark: did you get any warnings on install that the browsers were open ?
[18:04] <dominicdinada> wireshark: reinstall?
[18:04] <wireshark> dominicdinada:  i try to open the synaptic
[18:04] <wireshark> and says this
[18:04] <wireshark> This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first.
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | wireshark
[18:05] <mike_bowman> How does one open the terminal? a friend told me about it and I forgot exactly what he told me.
[18:05] <wcchandler__> This isn't ubuntu related but you ugys are usually pretty nice and helpful -- I'm on Windows XP and I can't resolve an IP address -- it gets stuck on "acquiring IP address" and returns a <IP_ADDRESS> for the IP.  Within Ubuntu or any livecd I can resolve an IP just fine.  If I set the XP machine up for a static IP all if fine then too.  Could this be a virus causing this problem?  Some weird setting somewhere?  I've disabled the Windo
[18:05] <wireshark> mike_bowman:  what is this?
[18:05] <bazhang> wcchandler__, ##windows for windows support
[18:05] <mike_bowman> the Terminal?
[18:05] <dominicdinada> wireshark: this is the FOURTH time I have SAID, USE ONLY ONE AT A TIME
[18:05] <wireshark> ActionParsnip:
[18:05] <x-calibur> dominicdinada: thx for the howto. The only problem i seem to have is postfix using domain.local as sender adress, it should be domain.com, how can i change that?
[18:05] <wireshark> but how i can do this dominicdinada?
[18:05] <eoke> wireshark: have you run "apt-get update" after "dpkg --configure -a"
[18:06] <wireshark> i don't know
[18:06] <wireshark> yes eoke
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> wcchandler__: change dns to <IP_ADDRESS> . If the address is on LAN and static you could add an entry to your hosts file
[18:06] <dominicdinada> wireshark: well there is software center/aptitude or synaptic.... close all but one of those
[18:06] <wireshark> i don't have anything open
[18:06] <wireshark> there are all closed
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> wcchandler__: otherwise you lan dns should resolv it, make sure its address is in your list of dns servers
[18:07] <subone> I'm using bluetooth stereo headphones with my system. How can I tell by the cli if the headphones are in use so I can control their volume rather than Master volume (which doesn't effect the headphone volume) by the cli?
[18:07] <dominicdinada> did you try the -f (force)
[18:07] <dominicdinada> sudo apt-get install -f
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> !bluetooth
[18:08] <aeon-ltd> subone: o suppose you could use alsamixer for the volume of input/ouptut devices
[18:08] <wcchandler__> ActionParsnip: why would that work?  I'm not able to acquire an IP from the router...  It's not a domain name resolution problem
[18:08] <x-calibur> dominicdinada: thx for the howto. The only problem i seem to have is postfix using domain.local as sender adress, it should be domain.com, how can i change that?
[18:08] <dominicdinada> x-calibur: I have not used local domains I have always used say Gmail... or other smtp servers not local ones
[18:08] <wireshark> i gave this command eoke dpkg --configure -a and it says
[18:08] <wireshark> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[18:08] <wireshark>
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> wcchandler__: are you using the right driver?
[18:08] <x-calibur> where do i change that in my config files?
[18:08] <wireshark> which another process is this?
[18:08] <wireshark> grrrr
[18:09] <dominicdinada> x-calibur: Like i said I have not used local mailers... i use phpmailer.
[18:09] <azlon> what is the ati graphics driver package?
[18:09] <x-calibur> oh ok tx anyway
[18:09] <eoke> wireshark: Try "ps ax | grep dpkg"
[18:09] <wcchandler__> ActionParsnip: that was a thought, but if I had a bad driver wouldn't it not work at all rather than not work with DHCP?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: run the command ubottu gave. It will free up the packages. Make sure there are no updates or installs going and close synaptic / aptitude / software centre
[18:10] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: I have told him that 4 times
[18:10] <wireshark> sudo apt-get install -f
[18:10] <wireshark> this?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> wcchandler__: not sure there fellah.i'd ask in ##windows
[18:10] <Kull> Can anyone direct me to a link describing how an Ubuntu minimal command-line install is any different from the Debian miniaml install?  With just a kernel and core-utils isnt Ubuntu just debian?
[18:10] <wireshark> dominicdinada: ?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | wireshark
[18:10] <dominicdinada> wireshark: STOP entering all these random commands
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: read ALL of that
[18:10] <Kull> Can anyone direct me to a link describing how an Ubuntu minimal command-line install is any different from the Debian miniaml install?  With just a kernel and core-utils isnt Ubuntu just debian?  Not the installation process, but the actual system.
[18:11] <aeon-ltd> Kull: no it never will be due to branding during pkg installs
[18:11] <dominicdinada> wireshark: there is more than one instance of package managers open fix that problem first
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> !ot | kull
[18:11] <wcchandler__> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the thought...
[18:11] <livingdaylight> hi, can someone help me so that webring doesn't come up everytime I start up ubuntu for the first time. I'd like it to just detect and hook unto wireless without having to enter passwd, anyone?
[18:11] <Kull> ActionParsnip: the answer to my question will inform my Ubuntu support question.  I had no idea asking about Ubuntu here was verbotten.
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> wcchandler__: check for a later driver is all I can offer really
[18:12] <wireshark> dominicdinada:  it says kill process? i accept it?
[18:12] <wireshark> process 1835*
[18:12] <dominicdinada> wireshark: I was not the person whom told you to PS | grep for dpkg but I would assume so
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Kull: the channel is for people with issues with their OS. Ubuntu related questions are fielded in offtopic
[18:12] <wireshark> ActionParsnip: ?
[18:12] <dominicdinada> wireshark: then follow ActionParsnip's link
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Kull: don't get smart
[18:13] <Kull> WTF are you talking about, "get smart"?
[18:13] <wireshark> i am so confused guys
[18:13] <dominicdinada> !language | kull
[18:13] <Helloer> Hello, my ubuntu 10.04 hangs on "running /scripts/init-bottom Done." how i can fix it?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Kull: with the verbotten stuff. Sounded flippant
[18:13] <eoke> wireshark: If you've only got one process listed that's the process you're using to look for the process, so don't worry about it.
[18:13] <Kull> Ok, screw this, I dont need assholes giving me a hard time for nothing.  Is it any wonder everyone thinks the ops in here are morons?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Kull: again that's offtopic, I'm not an op either
[18:14] <wireshark> eoke:  so i accept it?
[18:14] <subone> Aeon-ltd: that doesn't answer my question. How can I tell if the headphones are in use (obviously this is by remote and in a script, I can tell if my headphones are on if I turned them on)
[18:14] <wireshark> ActionParsnip:  i have to type Y?
[18:14] <eoke> wireshark: Stick with what dominicdinada is telling you for the time being, I didn't realise he was already assisting you when you asked me by name again.
[18:14] <dominicdinada> wireshark: first check your ps | grep for dpkg, then if only one instance is running try to force the install... if not follow ActionParsnips link to fix dpkg
[18:14] <eoke> wireshark: The command I gave you shouldn't be asking you to kill anything.
[18:14] <dominicdinada> fix apt*
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> Wireshark: if asked then I guess so, I can't read your screen so you will have to read and see what's going on
[18:15] <wireshark> ActionParsnip:  there is one process 1835
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: the command usbottu gave will fix your packages lock dude :)
[18:15] <wireshark> ActionParsnip:  which one
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: then kill it or reboot
[18:16] <wireshark> you sent it to me a lot of commands
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: ok, the text ubottu gives you. Read it all
[18:16] <wireshark> i confused
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | wireshark
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: the long command in the quotes is what you need
[18:16] <wireshark> ok
[18:16] <wireshark> ActionParsnip:  this command i gave
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: I've given you it 3 times now
[18:17] <wireshark> sorry guys
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: from sudo to -a, all that?
[18:17] <wireshark> ActionParsnip:  there is one process named 1835
[18:17] <wireshark> and says y or n
[18:17] <wireshark> do i type y?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: sure go for it
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: if you are being asked if you want to kill the process
[18:18] <wireshark> yes ActionParsnip
[18:18] <wireshark> it says if i wnat to kill this process
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: you haven't told us what you are being asked to respond to
[18:18] <clayg> How do I disable the touchpad on my netbook?
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: ok then yes kill it good
[18:19] <wireshark> ActionParsnip:  Kill process 1835 ? (y/N)
[18:19] <dominicdinada> clayg: system prefs mouse ?
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: better information than last time don't you think.. rather than just "do I say yes or no"
[18:19] <wireshark> :S
[18:19] <wireshark> do i type yes?
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> wireshark: yes kill it, that process is locking the packages
[18:20] <clayg> dominicdinada, dont see an option to completely disable it
[18:20] <wireshark> ok
[18:20] <clayg> is there any other way to completely disable the touchpad on my netbook?
[18:20] <RFleming> I need some help :) ... MD and LVG, on boot run-init reports that /sbin/init doesn't exist, the kernel panics and I die.

[18:21] <wireshark> :):):)
[18:21] <wireshark> it was only one command
[18:21] <clayg> How do I disable the touchpad on my netbook?
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: look like we got there, reboots are for windows ;)
[18:21] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: Not Vista or 7 :D
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> Clayg: you could rmmod the module that makes it fly
[18:21] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: key word "yet"
[18:22] <clayg> ActionParsnip, how is that done? and making it fly is the same as disabling it? that is what im trying to do
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: most of the record uptimes are bsd and linux based ;)
[18:23] <clayg> I was using touchfreeze on my dell mini 10 and it worked like a charm
[18:23] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: Not to be to far off topic but Server 2008 is taking linux seriously :D that is powerful as heck! :D
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> Clayg: sudo lshw | less ,read down til you see the touchpad and note the driver name. Then you can run: sudo rmmod foo ,replace foo with the name
[18:23] <clayg> but that same program on this aspire netbook stops working after a while
[18:23] <dominicdinada> brb
[18:23] <dustybin> why does ubuntu rely on rubbish pulse audio?
[18:24] <dustybin> i want to install mplayer-nogui without pulse audio
[18:24] <clayg> ActionParsnip, i tried that and everything was on one line so it was hard to read anything besides the one it rested on
[18:24] <dustybin> i cannot do it
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: funny how its taken microsoft this long to get it somewhere right. Its pathetic
[18:24] <clayg> ActionParsnip, cancel that its working
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> Clayg: use cursors to scroll
[18:25] <azlon> how can i create a laucher for a terminal window? i tried using terminal as the program but it didnt work
[18:25] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: it was in the past more profitable to make unstable systems that need lots of support ($$)
[18:25] <dustybin> what will ubuntu do in the next release? rename /etc/passwd  to /etc/ubuntu_passwd
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> p1l0t: yeah true
[18:25] <eoke> azlon: gnome-terminal will start a terminal window in gnome if that's what you mean.
[18:25] <lighta> Hi guys. I downloaded a big file 1go move it into /media/Data wich is a share partition with windows then went on windows put didn't see my file, neither when I come back in unbuntu :( where can I found it ? I've check lost+found already
[18:25] <clayg> ActionParsnip, it lists alot of things but i dont see the touchpad anywhere
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Clayg: keep reading, its in there
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Lighta: is the partition on a usb device
[18:26] <MaJic_NinJa> how do i browse to my ubuntu computer from my windows 7 computer
[18:27] <wireshark> ActionParsnip:  and the other guys i am totally grateful
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> !samba | MaJic_NinJa
[18:27] <lighta> no ActionParsnip it's an NTFS partition mounted at session start /etc/fstab
[18:27] <p1l0t> lighta: it may still be on that share location, but the samba share no longer mounted
[18:27] <wireshark> thnx again
[18:27] <dustybin> how can i make ubuntu karmic use alsa as default instead of pulse audio?
[18:27] <p1l0t> lighta: oh on the same drive you mean?
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Lighta: could try running: sync
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> !sound | dustybin
[18:28] <lighta> well p1l0t I don't used samba here to see what in there
[18:28] <dustybin> ubottu: i am running fluxbox, i have no applets
[18:28] <dustybin> i have no gnome
[18:28] <lighta> yes well it's physicaly the same disk but different partition
[18:28] <cousin_mario> hello
[18:28] <durt> ActionParsnip, clayg, you can use synclient to temporarily disable the touchpad.
[18:28] <p1l0t> !hi | cousin_mario
[18:28] <clayg> durt, just tried didn't work
[18:29] <cousin_mario> when is thunderbird 3.1 going to be packaged for lucid?
[18:29] <clayg> durt, issued "synclient TouchPadOff=1"
[18:29] <erUSUL> !backports | cousin_mario
[18:29] <durt> clayg, =0
[18:29] <b0fh_ua> Hi. I got SmartQ V5 device with Ubuntu 5.5 installed. Sadly, but wifi suddenly died. I do know where to get updates for software, installed on it. The question is - how do I find the dependencies of particular package, to update it "offline"? And how do I update things offline in ubuntu?
[18:30] <durt> clayg, er, nevermind
[18:30] <arand> cousin_mario: In the main repositories, likely never, find a PPA (mozilla team..) or see if it's in backports
[18:30] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: Correct, But now they have gotten it right.
[18:30] <p1l0t> cousin_mario 3.0.4 is available...
[18:30] <lighta> no change after sync ActionParsnip
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: we'll see
[18:31] <cousin_mario> p1l0t: I'm aware of that, thank you
[18:31] <cousin_mario> arand: oh
[18:31] <bazhang> cousin_mario, it was released today?
[18:31] <cousin_mario> bazhang: I believe so
[18:31] <lighta> no other Idea to found my file ?
[18:31] <bazhang> cousin_mario, then not in main repos, as ara nd said
[18:31] <thune3> lighta: if the partition wasn't mounted at the time of the move, the file could be in the directory of the mountpout. You could check this by unmounting the partition and looking in the mountpoint directory.
[18:32] <cousin_mario> bazhang: but will it be available in the official lucid repositories in the near future?
[18:32] <bazhang> cousin_mario, unlikely in the extreme, backports or PPA are your best shot
[18:33] <durt> cousin_mario, only if it fixes serious security issues.
[18:33] <lighta> the partition where mounted right thune3 (used to work) but it may be unmounted badly (elictricity crash)
[18:33] <cousin_mario> durt: I see
[18:33] <cousin_mario> I suppose I'll have to wait for 10.10 then
[18:33] <cousin_mario> thanks everybody
[18:33] <cousin_mario> bbl
[18:33] <erUSUL> cousin_mario: using backorts or a ppa for an app like TB should be pretty safe
[18:35] <rikkimaru> is there a way to append to a file (> overwrites)
[18:35] <erUSUL> rikkimaru: >>
[18:36] <rikkimaru> erUSUL, brilliant!
[18:37] <thune3> lighta: this is ntfs-3g ?
[18:37] <lighta> thune3, /dev/sda5       /media/Data      ntfs-3g defaults,locale=fr_FR.utf8 0 0
[18:37] <trusty> how do i get my logitech mouse to work on my laptop

[18:39] <trusty> anyone
[18:39] <c3l> im trying to install (k)ubuntu 10.04 i386 from an usb. getting error: "Verifying DMI Pool Data .... Boot error" (I followed all instructions and created usb bootable with Universal USB Installer. How do i fix this?
[18:40] <ifancho> did you set
[18:40] <s0l1dsnak3123> How would I route an outgoing attempt to connect to an ip to nothing, similar to the way a HOSTS file works in windows?
[18:40] <ifancho> your bios to boot from usb
[18:40] <P-Nuts> Hello!  My Network Manager has gone wrong: when I right click it and choose "Edit Connections", nothing happens.
[18:40] <c3l> ifancho: yes
[18:40] <c3l> ifancho: when not, it boots windows directly. so its detecting the usb, but something is wrong as I get this error
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[18:41] <TLoFP> how can I run rm -r without asking me questions, I want to delete a whole dir, not haveing to confrim every file in it
[18:41] <CalifGuy_> hmm
[18:42] <c3l> TLoFP: normally its not set to ask you, are you running ubuntu?
[18:42] <s0l1dsnak3123> TLoFP - rm -rf
[18:42] <aeon-ltd> ActionParsnip: yo yo yo *again
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> TLoFP: use -rf (be VERY careful as it will destroy the folder)
[18:42] <TLoFP> thanks
[18:42] <P-Nuts> TLoFP: do you have 'rm' aliased to 'rm -i'?
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> aeon-ltd: gots to change bus to get to work ;)
[18:42] <thune3> lighta: if the electricity cut soon after copying the file, then the file may still have been unwritten, or corrupted.
[18:42] <mugwort13> Ok, so with this new version of gdm, how in the heck does one change the gdm theme now?
[18:42] <rokkyrokky> Hi! What to do if ubuntu 10.04 hangs at boot?
[18:43] <TLoFP> P-Nuts: and others: System not maintained by me, im going nutz cause they won't give me admin priviliges
[18:43] <TLoFP> haveing to compile sh** from src and putting it in my home directory instead of etc where it ought to be
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> mugwort13: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[18:44] <CalifGuy_> TLoFP, use /bin/rm
[18:44] <thune3> TLoFP: \rm backslash overrides aliases
[18:44] <p1l0t> rokkyrokky: have you tried alt+f2?
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> TLoFP: it will if you use sudo and gksudo when you need to put stuff in folders outside of $HOME
[18:44] <raven> how to run a tool on a machine but to tunnel graphics over ssh?
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> Raven: do you mean run graphical apps over ssh?
[18:45] <peturi> erUSUL: use '|tee filename' instead of '>> filename'
[18:45] <guntbert> raven: connect to the machine with ssh -X (big X)
[18:45] <erUSUL> peturi: tee will overwritte too. if you want to use tee *and* append is "tee -a"
[18:45] <raven> guntberg ActionParsnip guntberg was right tnx
[18:45] <peturi> erUSUL: ofcourse :)
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Raven: if the client is windows then install xming, it will give an xserver for apps to stick to
[18:46] <lighta> erf thune3 this would be 9h dl lost :(, but it's strange cause I remenber see file on unbunut after reboot but wine couldn't open it so I went on windows then it disapear ><
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> raven: if its a linux desktop then you have one. Connect with: ssh -X user@server
[18:46] <s0l1dsnak3123> How would I route an outgoing attempt to connect to an ip to nothing, similar to the way a HOSTS file works in windows?
[18:46] <jaf1230> I have a Vaio PCG-TR3a.  It has Intel 855GM onboard video.  When I try to boot the 10.04 livecd, it gets to the splash screen, and after a short bit, my display turns off.  I've tried ctrl+alt+f(1,2,7).  I've also tried nomodeset.  The same thing happens when I connect an external monitor.  Any ideas?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Raven: add an ampersand on the end of graphical commands so you get the session control back and can type more commands while the gui app runs
[18:47] <jaf1230> s0l1dsnak3123: /etc/resolv.conf ?
[18:47] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: Xming ?  nothing in aptitude for it
[18:47] <erUSUL> s0l1dsnak3123: /etc/hosts <<< you know windows stole the idea from UNIX
[18:47] <s0l1dsnak3123> erUSUL - no, i did not :)
[18:47] <erUSUL> s0l1dsnak3123: the whole idea of the network and with it the hosts file
[18:47] <dominicdinada> aptitude search xming ................. results in nothing returned
[18:48] <marc__> I'm having a weird bug with Ubuntu Lucid, I've installed it on my HTPC (amd triple code, integrated ati hd3200), the video/audio playback is choppy every 10-15 seconds, I've tried the default video drivers and the proprietary one... I check the cpu but there's no spike when the 'hang' occurs, I'm all out of idea here :(  anyone had that kind of problem with lucid?
[18:48] <guntbert> dominicdinada: you don't need that in linux - only in windows (as ActionParsnip said)
[18:48] <s0l1dsnak3123> erUSUL - I didn't know that - thank you :)
[18:48] <thune3> lighta: you've tried find command and mlocate, to see if it is actually somewhere else?
[18:48] <dominicdinada> guntbert: SWEET
[18:48] <dominicdinada> is it freeware ?
[18:48] <sebsebseb> Hi
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: yes its free
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> jaf1230: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[18:49] <lighta> mlocate ?
[18:49] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: checking out the site now
[18:50] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: So thats a replacement for all the gosh aweful VNC,RDP apps on windows ?
[18:50] <guntbert> dominicdinada: xming? yes but there is mobaxterm too (last off topic line from me)
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: its dead handy if you want to check emails remotely as the config / files on the remote system are used. Plus its secure unlike vnc
[18:51] <Exavion> Anyone here run ubuntu on a laptop and know any good tools / tips to extend time while running on battery?  Preferably something automatic that isnt the default power manager?
[18:51] <thune3> marc__: what media player are you using when problem happens?
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: its just another option really. I do most stuff via ssh cli and web interfaces. Vnc is a bit vulgar imho
[18:51] <dominicdinada> guntbert: Thats not off topic I was always looking for a better RDP,VNC for Windows to Linux. All the searches previously resulted in horrible apps
[18:51] <marc__> thune3, I tried VLC and Totem
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Exavion: use lxde or another light desktop
[18:51] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: But from what I can see you can use apps on it as well :D
[18:51] <lighta> oh thune3 thx i'm seeing it on mlocate, but not in thunar but at least is alive thx =) I'll continue with bash^
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: or definately
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: if you run nautilus you should get a full desktop
[18:52] <Exavion> ActionParsnip: Such as fluxbox?  something that doesnt use a full X environment?
[18:52] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: Guntbert: thats on my windows 7 next time I boot it up
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> Exavion: just something light like that, uses less cpu so it can step down and run slower == less power used
[18:52] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: I did install the Gnome Desktop on the server :D
[18:53] <thune3> marc__: odd question, do you have browser open when problem happens?
[18:53] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: well its meant to do it with text boot instead of Plymouth, theme, the black before log in show shows, but maybe that link will help to get rid of that as well :D
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: kinda pointless, why not just install the desktop iso?
[18:53] <Exavion> Thanks ActionParsnip
[18:53] <marc__> thune3, hmmm, yes... let met go close everything and check again. brb
[18:53] <guntbert> dominicdinada: you can put mobaxterm even on an usb stick - no need to install it
[18:53] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: ? I did ? Xorg,Gnome...... Its the basic desktop with all the apps
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: possibly.
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: yes but installing the server to then install a desktop environment is a bit silly
[18:54] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: Well some tasks for me way easier to do gui. :D
[18:55] <p1l0t> dominicdinada: and when you update if your not careful you will lose the gui
[18:55] <dominicdinada> But thanks for giving me that. Yesterday there was a Guy in here asking for such a program
[18:55] <dominicdinada> p1l0t: Already did once when i wasnt paying careful attention
[18:55] <p1l0t> me too :P
[18:55] <thune3> lighta: mlocate shows files that existed when updatedb ran last (usually daily), it may not be current.
[18:56] <p1l0t> Now I have a netbook though with lucid netbook so the server is pure
[18:56] <dominicdinada> p1l0t: Burn me once blah blah, Burn me twice Blah me
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: then install desktop if you need a desktop. Server is headless for security and to reduce impact on the system. You have the same system you would have got had you installed the desktop system. You haven't gained anything
[18:57] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: My home servers are just for remote stuff not in a production enviroment
[18:57] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: not to mention gnome,xorg etc can be removed
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: maybe so but its still a pointless excercise to install server to then throw a gui on it
[18:57] <lighta> thune3, yeah I did man mlocate. mlocate he found my file cp /.../myfile ./ ; file not found; sync; mlocate and cp again; no change :(
[18:58] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: unlike the basic desktop package
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: you can strip the desktop of x and gnome and it will boot to command line
[18:58] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: :D ok ok
[18:59] <marc__> thune3, still stuttering but less frequently... I only have totem opened and it's every 30-40 seconds :(
[18:59] <dominicdinada> wait wait wait with xming you need minigw :(
[19:01] <marc__> thune3, and again if I monitor cpu usage it's always below 30% on all core
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
[19:01] <dominicdinada> my question is do you need minigw, cygwin etc
[19:02] <ciss_> hi, i'm pretty new two the concept of piping. i've figured out how to output the content of each file found by "find", but how do i prepend the file name?
[19:02] <jaf1230> ActionParsnip: Your solution (i915 configuration) worked for me, thanks!
[19:03] <dominicdinada> minigw OR cygwin, Cygwin is quite horrible in my opinion for the amount of space it takes you might as well just Dualboot the pc
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> jaf1230: np bro
[19:04] <th1> dominicdinada, or run ubuntu inside virtualbox
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> dominicdinada: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/ bit easier, its standalone. You'll need to tell putty to allow x forwarding etc
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Th1: not if you want to remote manage servers or access you desktop apps in a thin client stylee
[19:04] <dominicdinada> ActionParsnip: Ahhh I see  thanx
[19:04] <erUSUL> ciss_: prepend to what ? what output do you expect?
[19:04] <jozefk> i installed 10.04 on ibook g4 most of the things are fine but some things don't work. I can't change the server to any other than main
[19:04] <dominicdinada> cygwin is to bloated :D
[19:05] <dominicdinada> maybe use microlinux
[19:05] <jozefk> and because of that I can't install flash. when I reload in synaptic it's always giving me some error messages
[19:05] <thune3> marc__: well you can make changes to allow you to nice your process <0, you can run top -d 0.2, to see a finer resolution for a process that periodically spikes, and latencytop is sometimes helpful in identifying what might be "blocking" every 20seconds.
[19:05] <moises> any good websites on where to setup a network?
[19:06] <th1> jozefk, what do you mean you can't change the server?
[19:06] <moises> with over 90 client computers
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Th1: not if you want to remote manage servers or access you desktop apps in a thin client stylee
[19:06] <jozefk> dominicdinada, microlinux what is that for?
[19:06] <dominicdinada> moises what kind of network ? Filesharing, Print sharing, Music library sharing, medibuntu
[19:06] <moises> filesharing
[19:06] <ciss_> erUSUL, i want to list the file name including the full path, followed by a line break, followed by the file content
[19:06] <jozefk> th1, the server in synaptic
[19:06] <th1> ActionParsnip, ssh? ;)
[19:06] <mouse> My mouse cursor stays white no matter what color or size I change it to.  Anyone know how to fix this small annoyance?
[19:06] <Jork> Hello. I am was downloading some video from youtube with youtube-dl command line and now I can't find it. In wich directory dowload the video?
[19:06] <dominicdinada> jozefk: I was saying that it is nice and tiny to run linux apps....
[19:06] <th1> jozefk, have you tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list with an editor
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Moises: grab a router and some patch cables or use wireless. Network is yours
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Th1: indeed. Great for netbook
[19:07] <jozefk> th1, not yet. let me see that one now
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Th1: plus all configs are on the server so backups are simpler
[19:07] <th1> ActionParsnip, exactly
[19:07] <butterfly> jork,in home/downloads
[19:07] <th1> ActionParsnip, or if you really gui hungry then vncserver will do nicely
[19:07] <erUSUL> ciss_: find dir/ -name '*whatever*' -exec sh -c 'echo -e "$1\n" && cat "$1"' _ '{}' \;
[19:07] <moises> i have a switch hub, and etc....
[19:08] <duffydack> Jork, whatever folder you were in when you ran it.  find ~ -iname "*.flv"   (or use *.mp4)
