[18:44] <cheshair> techzilla: i am all ears
[18:45] <dasupergamer> i don't know then
[18:45] <Sintient> @techzilla, thanks for the help
[18:45] <tsaknorris> maybe i can recompile whole driver :/
[18:45] <gumus> are we allowed to talk about hardware issues here ?
[18:45] <dasupergamer> go ahead
[18:45] <tsaknorris> i dont think of anything else
[18:45] <techzilla> @Sintient, no prob.. good luck
[18:45] <dasupergamer> does the gt 520 work mit ubuntu
[18:46] <Sintient> @dasupergamer, thanks for the help.
[18:46] <gumus> ok, i got two Wireless Cards
[18:46] <gumus> PCI
[18:46] <techzilla> @cheshair, one second
[18:46] <cheshair> techzilla: ok, thanks
[18:46] <gumus> i don't know which one is better
[18:46] <dasupergamer> makes and models
[18:46] <techzilla> @cheshair, use !gdmsetup
[18:47] <oCean> tsaknorris: 67/100 is not bad at all
[18:47] <oCean> ehr
[18:47] <cheshair> @techzilla: i will and let you know
[18:47] <gumus> Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and the other one WM3B2200BG
[18:47] <oCean> tsaknorris: 67/70 is not bad at all (it's not 67 out of 100)
[18:47] <dasupergamer> both intel...... right
[18:47] <techzilla> @cheshair, not sure if its installed by default these days
[18:47] <gumus> yes
[18:47] <gumus> or maybe they r just the same ^^  i have no idea [absolute beginner]
[18:47] <techzilla> @cheshair, after the GDM1 to GDM2 switch things got (and still are) ugly
[18:48] <dasupergamer> what type... b/g/n n+n
[18:48] <dasupergamer> mine i g and my router is G+ no issues in ubuntu
[18:48] <gumus> i guess you mean supported protocols? but i don't know where to check it from
[18:48] <cheshair> @techzilla: i will have some tries with gdm setup (let's hope i won't have to reinstall my wall distro from scratch!)
[18:48] <gumus> *them
[18:49] <dasupergamer> i suggest use the one thats on your mtoherobard if any of them are
[18:49] <techzilla> @cheshair, no that's rarely required in the GNU/Linux world
[18:49] <dasupergamer> motherboard* as they work better than the PCI ones any way
[18:49] <dasupergamer> also who wants a world of warcraft linux client
[18:49] <cheshair> @techzilla at the moment i have a bare naked desktop with icons and the pointer
[18:50] <gumus> in fact , i detached one of them from my notebook because i get poor signal
[18:50] <techzilla> @cheshair, o wow...diffrent story altogether
[18:50] <dasupergamer> pres ctrl+a;t+t to load terminal
[18:50] <cheshair> @techzilla no bars nor keyboard shortcuts to launch a terminal!
[18:50] <dasupergamer> then run compiz via terminal
[18:50] <techzilla> @cheshair, if you can do it without regard to old setup.. then blast it away
[18:50] <techzilla> @cheshair, did you kill system during updates
[18:50] <techzilla> ?
[18:50] <dasupergamer> then reinstall ubuntu or boot into recovery mode
[18:51] <techzilla> @cheshair, or actually, you could just try deleteing your user config directories
[18:51] <techzilla> @cheshair, one sec, I'll see which one
[18:51] <cheshair> @techzilla to blast away what?
[18:51] <dlynes> I accidentally enabled the Mythbuntu desktop...any idea how to reenable the Gnome desktop?
[18:52] <iNethack> yo
[18:52] <Pici> dasupergamer: If you're talking to someone in particular, could you please put their nick at the front of your message?  Its very confusing otherwise.
[18:52] <techzilla> ok try "rm -rf .gnome2
[18:52] <dlynes> I'm guessing it's dpkg-reconfigure something....I just don't know what that 'something' would be
[18:52] <iNethack> During installation of Ubuntu 11.04, it doesn't detect Windows 7 x64 - is this a known issue? I'm using a SAMSUNG AHCI SATA hard drive
[18:52] <BluesKaj> dlynes, hit the \ key
[18:52] <NCS_One_> can anyone help me install ricoh memory stick this http://paste.ubuntu.com/628515/
[18:52] <techzilla> @cheshair, try "rm -rf .gnome2" with an xterm or gnome-terminal... or log in to console
[18:52] <dlynes> BluesKaj, eh?
[18:53] <cheshair> @techzilla ok i will
[18:53] <dasupergamer> erm.... install the boot loader to another partition... the nuse easybcd to add an entry for grub2 called ubuntu
[18:53] <cheshair> @techzilla then what? should i restart gdm?
[18:53] <Sidewinder1> iNethack, After installation, did you try, from a terminal, sudo update-grub?
[18:53] <techzilla> @cheshair, yes restart gdm after that
[18:53] <BluesKaj> should bring you back to the normal desktop, dlynes
[18:53] <cheshair> @techzilla /etc/init.d/gdm restart?
[18:53] <techzilla> actually do a
[18:53] <cheshair> ok
[18:53] <dasupergamer> @NCS_One_ USBs should work like windows plug and play
[18:53] <techzilla> @cheshair, pkill -9 X
[18:53] <iNethack> Sidewinder1: No because it doesn't detect Windows 7, it only gives me the option to format the drive
[18:53] <cheshair> ok
[18:53] <sundar> hi... how do I tell ubuntu that I never want some packages selected in the Update manager? Like chromium-browser or cups related stuff?
[18:54] <iNethack> And I don't want to format the entire drive
[18:54] <NCS_One_> dasupergamer: not usb memory stick
[18:54] <dlynes> BluesKaj, And what do I need to focus on, in order for it to read the backslash key?
[18:54] <dasupergamer> click manual install options
[18:54] <iNethack> It doesn't give me the option of using the free space on the drive, and it also says that the drive is 320GB of free space
[18:54] <dasupergamer> then i dont know then NCS_One_
[18:54] <BluesKaj> cheshair, fyi , @ doesn't work on irc, just use the nick and it will highlight
[18:54] <Sidewinder1> !who
[18:54] <dlynes> BluesKaj, I have the clock in the upper right hand corner, a light black bar across the top, and a black screen underneath, with absolutely nothing else
[18:54] <dasupergamer> before isntalling use a tool like gnome partition editor to partition the drive
[18:55] <dlynes> BluesKaj, when ubuntu booted up, on the splash screen, it said 'Mythbuntu', instead of 'Ubuntu'
[18:55] <tuxicity> Hello, I've just received a notebook and I would like to install Ubuntu from a USB Hard Drive (not a USB Flash Drive). Is that even possible?
[18:55] <theadmin> sundar: echo "PACKAGENAME hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
[18:55] <iNethack> Sidewinder1: It doesn't give me the option of using the free space on the drive, and it also says that the drive is 320GB of free space
[18:55] <dasupergamer> yes... just don't put any other files onto the hard drive... as the install crashes
[18:55] <dasupergamer> as i ahve learned
[18:55] <dasupergamer> have*
[18:56] <BluesKaj> dlynes, then you have the mythubuntu set as your default desktop , relogin and choose ubuntu in the drop down menu
[18:56] <dlynes> BluesKaj, there is no drop down menu, because ubuntu's set to automatically log in
[18:57] <Sidewinder1> iNethack, Once you boot to LiveCD, have you tried to use "Gparted" to check your partitions to make sure that you have at least one logical drive that is formatted to ext3/ext4 to install ubuntu, to?
[18:57] <cheshair> @techzilla ok, i deleted the .gnome2 folder and pkilled X, then i got the gdm login screen back alive. if i choose ubuntu as profile then i get the same problem (only icons on my desktop, everything else is dead). on the other hand if i choose the "ubuntu classic" profile i manage to get into a classic (apparently working) system
[18:58] <iNethack> Sidewinder1: it says my drive is 320GB of free space
[18:58] <ben_q> hey guys, is there a tool that lets me make an image of the directory-list of an external HDD? so I can search it without having the HDD on? (got lots of externals...)
[18:58] <iNethack> Sidewinder1: which its clearly not, given that W7 x64 is installed and working on there
[18:58] <cheshair> @techzilla how do you think i can restore the standard 11.04 ubuntu settings?
[18:58] <mbeierl> I have a new 11.04 install of ubuntu and it appears to have some sort of IRC bot rootkit or something on it.  There is a directory in /dev/shm called ".../lnx" and it contains files as described here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=723974
[18:58] <techzilla> cheshair
[18:58] <techzilla> @ cheshair, that did not work
[18:59] <mbeierl> Anyone else come across this one?  I don't have apache or PHP installed on this machine
[18:59] <techzilla> ok.. kill all dot dires
[18:59] <techzilla> goto your home dir
[18:59] <cheshair> techzilla ok
[18:59] <techzilla> and do , (this will kill any sshkeys or anything in a hidden direct)
[18:59] <cheshair> techzilla ok
[19:00] <BluesKaj> dlynes, http://souta95.blogspot.com/2010/06/change-autologin-settings-in-ubuntu.html
[19:00] <omegaphi> can someone help me unistall phpmyadmin from my ubuntu?
[19:00] <techzilla> @cheshair, "rm -rf ./.*"
[19:01] <techzilla> @ cheshair, then restart system
[19:01] <techzilla> @ cheshair ,if that doesn't work.. tell me
[19:01] <cheshair> techzilla a little backup, then the rm and finally the restart, i'll be back in a minute
[19:01] <BluesKaj> techzilla, fyi , @ doesn't work on irc, just use the nick and it will highlight
[19:01] <mbeierl> it also created the following crontab for me: "* * * * * /dev/shm/.../lnx/update >/dev/null 2>&1"
[19:02] <iNethack> !tab
[19:02] <omegaphi> *reposting* can someone help me unistall phpmyadmin from my ubuntu?
[19:02] <Sidewinder1> iNethack, What you need to do is use the Win7, defrag function and defrag it at least twice; then shrink it to the final size that you need for the NTFS partition. Then using Gparted from LiveCD make a new logical partition and format it to ext3/ext4 and install ubuintu there. Make sure that you back-up all data from your NTFS partition prior to doing the above.
[19:03] <Jaded> thanks ubottu, didn't even know
[19:03] <rahulr92> hi
[19:03] <rahulr92> I am a linux newbie and am using Ubuntu Ultimate edition (jaunty).I tried to update my sys. through terminal using 'sudo apt-get update'. I am getting a series of error msgs like "Err http://in.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/restricted Packages     404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]". Can anyone tell me how to update and upgrade my distro? I know that my version is no longer supported.
[19:03] <iNethack> Sidewinder1: I can't do that! GParted says my drive is 320GB of free space
[19:03] <iNethack> Sidewinder1: so if I try to format it, it will format the entire drive.   EG my admin account share "guest user" desktop folder so can be access via samba
[19:05] <kender_> hello everyone
[19:05] <Horusofoz> when I try to create the share using "guest user" account won't allow
[19:06] <techzilla> BluesKaj thanks
[19:06] <kender_> I just installed Gnome 3 in ubuntu using the ppa and I noticed that it is not searching through the files in my home when I type something in the search bar
[19:06] <kender_> has anybody had a similar problem?
[19:06] <oCean> !gnome3 | kender_ it's not supported
[19:06] <computerx> Brain meltdown, what's wrong with this? find . -name "*.flac" -exec "ffmpeg -i {} -f wav pipe: | lame --abr 192 -q 1 - {}.mp3" \;
[19:06] <techzilla> kender_ , there really is no "The" for a ppa
[19:06] <Oer> kender_, gnome3 is not supported yet, unstable
[19:07] <MoleMan> easiest way to add a ppa on ubuntu server 11.04?
[19:07] <techzilla> kender_ , there are so many of them, they are by definition "Personal" even if they are Public
[19:07] <techzilla> MoleMan, use the new apt ppa syntax
[19:07] <dasupergamer> @moleman via software sources
[19:07] <dasupergamer> found in the ubuntu software central
[19:07] <techzilla> MoleMan , as long as you hava recent ubuntu
[19:08] <roninkaoto> sup?!
[19:08] <techzilla> MoleMan , on the ppa page there is a help for using the ppa, they show the command there
[19:08] <MoleMan> erm... is that a GUI tool? i'm using server 11.04 so i just have command line...
[19:08] <techzilla> MoleMan , my reccomendation was for CMD
[19:09] <kender_> techzilla: I meant the ppa pointed by ubottu
[19:09] <techzilla> kender_, my bad
[19:09] <kender_> I understand it's unstable and I installed it taking that risk
[19:09] <oCean> MoleMan: use apt-add-repository
[19:09] <kender_> but it doesn't mean there couldn't be a solution to my problem ;-)
[19:10] <Horusofoz> How ubuntu admin share other users folder?
[19:10] <saf_> Hello, I have a question about MIT / GPL / LGPL licensing
[19:10] <oCean> kender_: correct, but "not supported" means that it is not supported in this channel
[19:10] <kender_> oCean: alright ;-) thanks anyway
[19:10] <MoleMan> oCean i tried that but it said command not found
[19:11] <techzilla> does anyone know if there is an unoffical ubuntu support channel for kender?
[19:11] <techzilla> actually, would like to know myself especially for ppa launchad stuff
[19:11] <dasupergamer> whats kender
[19:11] <amit121> hii
[19:11] <techzilla> the user
[19:11] <amit121> I cant update
[19:11] <kender_> dasupergamer: he means for me
[19:11] <saf_> I am wondering if it is possible to use NLopt (C library) in a commercial development task
[19:11] <techzilla> is guess @kender
[19:11] <amit121> It shows error http://pastebin.com/Sn5FpbGn
[19:11] <oCean> MoleMan: maybe it's optional command. It is in the package python-software-properties
[19:11] <dasupergamer> oh... whats the problem then
[19:12]  * ericP , hoping some network tool geeks are around, repeats earlier question:
[19:12] <mbeierl> the content of the directory which contains the suspicious code is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/628534/  I can't seem to find any valid posts about what this vulnerability is or how it gets installed on a computer.  Anyone good with recovering from a hack?
[19:12] <ericP> I'm using a compiz with the standard (as in i didn't tweak anything) network controller interface (the thing which puts the the wifi icon in the main menu bar).
[19:12] <ericP> After a couple days, the menu that comes up when clicking the wifi icon is unresponsive (no meny selections do anything except for [More Netorks] and [VPN Connections], which paint a tiny empty box).
[19:12] <amit121> cant updAte   It shows error http://pastebin.com/Sn5FpbGn
[19:12] <amit121> any ideas guys
[19:12] <ericP> How do I restart this tool in hopes of restoring network control without having to log out?
[19:12] <ericP> (Whatever restarts implied by reinstalling network-manager-gnome didn't do the trick.)
[19:12] <dasupergamer> i can recover hacks... its called back up all data and files 'n' shen and reinstall
[19:12] <ericP> (This occurred after a 10.10 to 11.04 upgrade.)
[19:13] <cheshair> techzilla i will use "rm -fr ./.[a-zA-Z]*" otherwise i am afraid i'll delete my home
[19:13] <dasupergamer> i am off in a minute wonna paly warcraft 3 lol
[19:13] <amit121> cant updAte   It shows error http://pastebin.com/Sn5FpbGn
[19:13] <amit121> any ideas guys
[19:14] <techzilla> cheshair, that's fine.. I believe you don't need to regex but why take risk
[19:14] <cheshair> techzilla: hmmm sure? if i launch a tar cjf with only ./.* it eats everything
[19:15] <cheshair> techzilla: i'll investigate further and let you know when i am ready
[19:15] <rly> I am running Gnome Classic, but my application icons (e.g. Skype, Pidgin, etc.) are not visible. How can I get those icons visible?
[19:15] <techzilla> yes my command work, just tested it again
[19:16] <sundar> theadmin: Thanks... Will I have to manually do this for every PACKAGENAME? Do wildcards work (eg. "cups*") ?
[19:16] <gargamel1> i got the b43-fwcutter how do i install it?
[19:16] <techzilla> cheshair, yes command "rm -rf ./.*" works as intened
[19:17] <gargamel1> i compiled it and it still says not intstalled
[19:17] <techzilla> cheshair, you will get these messages though rm: cannot remove `.' directory `./.'
[19:17] <techzilla> rm: cannot remove `..' directory `./..'
[19:17] <techzilla> cheshair, but will delete only the . dirs
[19:18] <techzilla> cheshair, we are specifing the directory with ./ (saying this current dir) then .
[19:18] <techzilla> cheshair, you could also do "rm -rf ./\.*" if that makes you more comfortable
[19:18] <gargamel1> ^_^
[19:18] <gargamel1> :(
[19:19] <techzilla> \ = interprete literally
[19:19] <gargamel1> having bad luck with ubuntu 11.04 and my wifi card
[19:19] <Horusofoz> Does "accountx" have to exist on "pca" and "pcb" to access files on both machines from each other?
[19:19] <theadmin> sundar: Nope, and yes, manually for every
[19:19] <Horusofoz> not pca win pcb buntu
[19:20] <theadmin> sundar: Or you can set up a script
[19:20] <Ray2> hey
[19:20] <BernardV> Horusofoz: Nope, you can login with credentials, so they won't have to exists on both.
[19:20] <gargamel1> i know i know i can fix the ubuntu box!! with about 4 oz of C4 and a blasting cap!!!
[19:21] <mbeierl> sorry to spam, but i'm on a new network which blocks IRC and I have to use webchat.  Am I muted or can others read me?
[19:21] <Horusofoz> BernardV: it appears that unless I enable access to everyone though it gives password error (win7 accessing ubuntu11.04 share
[19:21] <BernardV> mbeierl: ping
[19:21] <gargamel1> im getting extremely frustrated with this wifi card on my ubuntu machine
[19:22] <mbeierl> BernardV: thanks!
[19:22] <amit121> mbeierl we cant read you.. joking
[19:22] <mbeierl> amit121: hee he...
[19:22] <seidos> gargamel1: have you talked to papasmurf about it?
[19:22] <dlynes> BluesKaj, actually....just realized...it does allow me to log in, but no drop down to choose a window manager/desktop
[19:22] <gargamel1> seidos no
[19:23] <mbeierl> Still trying to get to the root cause of this apparent irc bot hack that showed up on my clean install Natty 11.04.  This is very concerning from a security perspective.
[19:23] <fbnts> Hi, I have recently swapped out my PC which I use for mythtv frontend.  The video output on the lcd is showing the wrong colours (blue appears greenish & red appears green)  I have tried HDMI and a DVI cable but both do the same
[19:23] <OomElvis> Q: my skype disappears when i open it.... like into oblivion
[19:24] <gargamel1> grrrr
[19:24] <fbnts> It was working fine on my other LCD but not on the current one
[19:24] <cheshair> techzilla: you were right! no harm at all to my files using your code (sorry i was doubtful); then i restarted the system; now it's working fine again!!!! techzilla thank you sooooo much!!! i wish i could tell you how grateful i am with my own voice

[19:25] <`Lynx> does ubuntu server offers everything desktop one offers besides a desktop environment? i'm going to download the server edition and install openbox on it cuz i hate gnome
[19:26] <Jaded> lynx
[19:26] <Jaded> why don't you install ubuntu from a minimal CD?
[19:26] <`Lynx> Jaded: wouldnt it be the same?
[19:26] <`Lynx> lol
[19:26] <`Lynx> server comes with basic packages as far i know
[19:26] <`Lynx> a netinstall would be the same
[19:27] <savid> I installed Natty recently,  and it seems that network printers that were once visible are no longer visible.  Is there something special I have to do to be able to discover network printers?
[19:27] <saf_> Is it possible (legal) to use code libraries in commercial development? The library in question is NLopt, and I would like to use the algorithms to run on some commercially sold devices. Is this allowed?
[19:27] <oCean> `Lynx: there are also a few kernel differences for the -server image
[19:28] <`Lynx> oCean: would it harm a laptop?
[19:28] <oCean> `Lynx: not at all
[19:28] <aima_> saf_, linking to the libraries is allowed
[19:28] <savid> oh nm, I had to change the settings.
[19:28] <theadmin> saf_: Yes, it is released under LGPL
[19:28] <aima_> thought it depends on the precise license I suppose
[19:29] <saf_> aima_, thank you for the quick response :)
[19:29] <aima_> if you alter the library you should distribute your changes
[19:29] <`Lynx> oCean: can you list me the differences?
[19:29] <saf_> I only plan on using some of the algorithms, not altering them
[19:30] <oCean> `Lynx: see here https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/preparing-to-install.html
[19:30] <sundar> theadmin: okay, thanks again
[19:30] <Sazpaimon> Okay so how do I get VNC to play nice with Unity
[19:31] <Sazpaimon> I'm getting tons of ghosting and non-updating graphics

[19:32] <MoleMan> how can i install a package from a PPA? I have added the PPA to my sources.list but i think the package has the same name as one in the ubuntu repositories as its a more up-to date version. do I need to specify somehow?
[19:33] <dlynes> BluesKaj, ah hah....this time I noticed after I typed in my username, that session type list does pop up....didn't realize that before...thought it would show up even when prompting me for a username...thanks
[19:34] <theadmin> MoleMan: No, just run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[19:34] <theadmin> MoleMan: It'll upgrade to the latest version whatever repository it's in
[19:34] <`Lynx> oCean: im going to install the minimal instead of server, where can i download it?
[19:34] <`Lynx> cant find it ansywhere
[19:34] <`Lynx> on the official site
[19:35] <Logan_> !minimal | `Lynx
[19:35] <BluesKaj> MoleMan, don't install appa if there's a version of the app in the standard default repos ...the ppa is probly an older version that was under development a while back
[19:35] <theadmin> `Lynx: All the latest release images: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/
[19:36] <MoleMan> BluesKaj: well its transmission, and i've been told in the irc channel that the version i have (installed from official last night) is quite old and to get the up to date version from PPA
[19:37] <omegaphi> hi how can i start mysql from ubuntu terminal?

[19:57] <codinGenesis> customization of unity possible ??
[19:57] <rly> afroman: I see that you found it too.
[19:57] <afroman> rly: actually I have the same prob, except I need it for Unity
[19:57] <Corey> redmenace: I've seen issues when the AP is N only, and the netbook only speaks G.
[19:57] <redmenace> what?
[19:57] <codinGenesis> customization of unity possible or we can change anything in it??
[19:57] <rly> afroman: I think Unity is basically incompatible with that.
[19:58] <rly> afroman: just drop Unity, until 12.10.
[19:58] <mikewasoskyyyyy> i'm an absolute beginner ( i know)  please can you help me or address me to the right chat for ubuntu 11.04 and network problems?
[19:58] <redmenace> oh Corey i know what you mean, but it always works before
[19:58] <Corey> redmenace: "What changed?"
[19:58] <rly> mikewasoskyyyyy: you can also try the forums.
[19:59] <rly> mikewasoskyyyyy: but you can just _ask_ here too.
[19:59] <afroman> rly: I hope U mean 11.10 other wise that would be a long wait :P
[19:59] <Corey> mikewasoskyyyyy: You've found it. :-)
[19:59] <rly> afroman: that is not what I meant.
[19:59] <Corey> I'm holding out for 12.04; it's time for an LTS that doesn't have such... "interesting" upstart issues / interface bonding bugs.
[19:59] <rly> afroman: they could fix it likely in a few months time, if they had some decent programmers.
[20:00] <mikewasoskyyyyy> ok rly thatnkj
[20:00] <mikewasoskyyyyy> ok Corey
[20:00] <codinGenesis> is customization of unity possible??
[20:00] <mikewasoskyyyyy> now
[20:00] <codinGenesis> pls anyone answer ???
[20:00] <afroman> mikewasoskyyyyy: do U know how to see ur available wireless connections?
[20:00] <rly> codinGenesis: sure, it is open source ;)
[20:00] <bazhang> codinGenesis, confity can a bit
[20:01] <redmenace> the card in my netbook is 802.11b/g/n idk what changed corey
[20:01] <rly> codinGenesis: otherwise there are some pointless tools, which suck.
[20:01] <mikewasoskyyyyy> afroman: the commend should be ifconfig isn't it?
[20:01] <afroman> rly: 12.10 is way to far that would be probl 10-15 months
[20:01] <rly> If I read this, this is the year of the Linux desktop.
[20:01] <rly> People entering random characters with the hope of being understood.
[20:01] <GuyCanada> rly, ever year is the year of thel inux desktop ahaha, at least they always say it is
[20:02] <codinGenesis> bazhang: what is confity ?
[20:02] <zaksoldier> Hi all
[20:02] <rly> codinGenesis: the crappy tool I was referring to.
[20:02] <bazhang> rly, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[20:02] <afroman> mikewasoskyyyyy: I was thinking of just the simple way, left click on the wireless connection
[20:02] <codinGenesis> rly: can u suggest me how to do ??
[20:02] <redmenace> my wifi card always works,but today it cant connect
[20:03] <bazhang> redmenace, is there a hardware on/off switch for it
[20:03] <stowoda> Hi
[20:03] <rly> codinGenesis: I don't recommend anything related to Unity, as it was a mistake to release it in its current state.
[20:03] <redmenace> no there isnt
[20:03] <Sazpaimon> I'm trying to install a closed source i386 deb in amd64 ubuntu. I tried --force-architecture but it's complaining that I don't have libc6 installed. But I have ia32-libs
[20:03] <codinGenesis> confity is the name of the tool ??
[20:03] <Sazpaimon> do I need dpkg-cross?
[20:03] <rly> codinGenesis: I suggest you select Ubuntu Classic.
[20:03] <rly> codinGenesis: yes
[20:03] <bazhang> rly, enough of the editorial commentary please
[20:03] <mike_> my connection dropped
[20:03] <jlholmes21> hi all

[20:04] <Lasers> redmenace: How about software switch? FN + Lalalala?
[20:04] <codinGenesis> it is sometimes cumbersome to move around from one program to another...
[20:04] <stowoda> in terminal some files and directories are colored..
[20:04] <stowoda> where to set this up?
[20:04] <codinGenesis> hope the next release will bring smiles ...

Even though it's a little old I'm sure it'll point you in the right direction to totally solve most of your problems. Unfortunately IRC is not the best place to start with multiple problems; especially if you're just getting started with Ubuntu. There is a significant learning

[20:18] <jtran> hey all.  i am using 10.04, and want to install euca2ools v 1.3 but when i check aptitude, the version in the repo only goes to 1.2x.   What's the best way to get updated to 1.3?
[20:19] <froginvasion> I know what a ppa is.., but i honestly don't get your point for telling me that.
[20:19] <PwnusMaximus_> should i downgrade to version 9?
[20:19] <bazhang> PwnusMaximus_, no, upgrade to 11.04
[20:19] <Sidewinder1> froginvasion, Sorry, thought it might help...
[20:19] <PwnusMaximus_> ok, ill install that version and try again
[20:19] <celestica_-> jtran, Check launchpad for a PPA that has the newer version of euca2ools
[20:19] <PwnusMaximus_> bazhang: thank you
[20:20] <bazhang> froginvasion, contact the maintainers PPA as that is not supported
[20:20] <celestica_-> jtran, Otherwise, compiling the program from source is your safest bet.
[20:20] <PwnusMaximus_> i would have been banging my head on this for days
[20:20] <jtran> ok.  thx for the info.  what is a ppa?
[20:20] <jtran> I did find this.  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/euca2ools/1.3.1-0ubuntu10
[20:20] <froginvasion> my understanding was that ubuntu is a community. and i believe the people here might have a better clue than me.
[20:21] <pythonirc101> pksadiq: thanks
[20:21] <froginvasion> that's all
[20:21] <celestica_-> jtran, On that launchpad page you should see a link that goes something like ppa:http:/somewebsite.com/
[20:21] <bazhang> froginvasion, sure, and PPA are unsupported.
[20:21] <jtran> no ppa seen.  i guess from source then.
[20:21] <froginvasion> bazhang what does that have to do with anything?
[20:21] <Giant81> !ppa > Giant81
[20:22] <bazhang> froginvasion, you ask for help with the empathy ppa
[20:22] <Sidewinder1> froginvasion, No prob., that's why we're here; I just didn't have a specific answer and thought in might point you in the proper direction is you were unfamiliar with ppas.
[20:23]  * Sidewinder1 Sighs..
[20:23] <froginvasion> I'm not asking specific help to the ppa, im just informing you that i used the telepathy ppa. and with that you might have a solution by asking me questions about it. And looking at my sources.list, or telling me how i can fix broken package problems or dependency problems
[20:23] <froginvasion> Sidewinder1 that's ok. I appreciate it
[20:23] <MykehDoom> Could someone help me with Ubuntu 11.04?
[20:24] <tensorpudding> MykehDoom: try asking your question to the channel
[20:24] <Sidewinder1> froginvasion, I use Synaptic as it will intuitively solve most dependency, broken pacgage problems.
[20:24] <MykehDoom> How to I disable the stock wireless drivers that come with 11.04?
[20:25] <tensorpudding> MykehDoom: why do you want to?
[20:25] <joostverdoorn_> Does anyone know the name of the GTK widget test package? (seen here: http://twitpic.com/5cuy3m/full)
[20:25] <tensorpudding> MykehDoom: one way would be to blacklist them
[20:25] <Sidewinder1> froginvasion, Besides, I just like frogs. :-)
[20:25] <MykehDoom> Because the default drivers don't work with my wireless card, It's a Belkin F7D1101 wireless usb adapter
[20:25] <webPragmatist> hey guys i am trying to do openssl req -key existin_key.key -out foo.csr and it just gets stuck
[20:26] <webPragmatist> what am i missing?
[20:26] <tensorpudding> MykehDoom: does Additional Drivers give you the choice of other drivers?
[20:26] <nathan_> Okay so I have a little server I'm setting up at home to play with when I'm away at college and I want to get it set up so I can just administer it via ssh. This is easy. The problem is, the computer doesn't have a dedicated monitor(hence ssh) and sits out in the garage connected by a lan cable. I noticed that the internet doesn't connect until you log in, which is hard to do without a monitor(and if it resets I don't want to have to log it in every time).
[20:26] <nathan_> Is there a way to either make it connect to the network on boot, or to set up auto log in from the terminal?
[20:26] <MykehDoom> I have to have the internet to change it.
[20:26] <PwnusMaximus_> wryfry
[20:26] <MykehDoom> And I can only use wireless.
[20:27] <tensorpudding> MykehDoom: you can't hook it up via a wired connection?
[20:27] <tensorpudding> ...
[20:27] <PwnusMaximus_> sorry, wrong window
[20:28] <trism> joostverdoorn_: that specific screenshot looks like the test code from the unico gtk3 engine (tests/test-widgets.c), which you can grab with: bzr branch lp:unico
[20:28] <rahulr92> !flash
[20:28] <GuyCanada> hey guys, how can i run a .exe under wine that needs JRE?
[20:28] <froginvasion> Sidewinder1: found the answer by now in linuxmint-help. aptitude did a better job at resolving the dependencies than apt-get
[20:28] <webPragmatist> 	/join #openssl
[20:28] <tensorpudding> GuyCanada: download the JRE Windows installer, and install it
[20:29] <GuyCanada> tensorpudding, its that easy eh
[20:29] <GuyCanada> thanks
[20:29] <joostverdoorn_> trism: thanks! I seem to remember seeing something like this for gtk2, do you happen to know about it?
[20:29] <eekTheCat> How do I install a gtk theme without gnome?
[20:29] <tilerendering> hi
[20:30] <trism> joostverdoorn_: thewidgetfactory I think
[20:30] <PwnusMaximus_> im installing 11.4 right now, however the screen seems to be stuck on the UBUNTU logo, with 5 red dots just sitting there
[20:31] <tilerendering> how can I reset the password for a user without knowing the old one ?
[20:31] <PwnusMaximus_> maybe my machine cant take 64bit?
[20:31] <tensorpudding> PwnusMaximus_: try booting, and this time when the ubuntu screen shows up, hit escape
[20:31] <PwnusMaximus_> can do!
[20:31] <joostverdoorn_> trism: thanks a lot!
[20:31] <trism> joostverdoorn_: you're welcome
[20:32] <PwnusMaximus_> oh seet, that invokes the menu screen!
[20:32] <PwnusMaximus_> i was wondering where that was
[20:33] <webPragmatist> okay okay hrm
[20:33] <webPragmatist> does openssl req -new -key foo.key use the existing key or ovewrite the private key?
[20:33] <wonka_> hi
[20:34] <annath> is there a way to make ubuntu automatically connect to a network on boot without being logged in?
[20:34] <jlholmes21> nope
[20:34] <PwnusMaximus_> tensorpudding: welp, its stuck again... maybe i have a corrupt disk.
[20:34] <beef-supreme> i can't install the fglrx on the new kernel
[20:35] <PwnusMaximus_> im going to try the 32bit version instead
[20:35] <tilerendering> hello how can I change the passwd on ubuntu without knowing old one
[20:35] <andreicristianpe> do you have the root password?
[20:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> if I upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10 how hard is it to get rid of unity and go back to gnome
[20:36] <bazhang> andreicristianpe, there is no root password
[20:36] <bazhang> U-b-u-n-t-u, not hard, boot into classic
[20:36] <bazhang> !classic | U-b-u-n-t-u
[20:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> nice
[20:37] <U-b-u-n-t-u> thanks bazhang
[20:37] <bazhang> U-b-u-n-t-u, there is not getting rid of unity
[20:37] <eekTheCat> If anyone is wondering I needed to create a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0
[20:37] <bazhang> -t
[20:37] <TheLifelessOne> Hey, how can I tell if a specific piece of hardware has Linux drivers?
[20:37] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bazhang, I can't uninstall it?
[20:37] <PwnusMaximus_> eekTheCat: Unity is getting number one
[20:37] <bazhang> U-b-u-n-t-u, no
[20:37] <U-b-u-n-t-u> =_=
[20:37] <bazhang> TheLifelessOne, which one
[20:38] <TheLifelessOne> bazhang: NVIDIA GeForce 6200.
[20:38] <andreicristianpe> I had some issues with classic gnome and compiz. besides that the classic gnome works fine. I honestly prefer Unity
[20:38] <bazhang> TheLifelessOne, it does
[20:38] <eekTheCat> PwnusMaximus_, huh?
[20:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bazhang, will I have to tell ubuntu to use classic everytime?
[20:38] <TheLifelessOne> bazhang, can it run Unity (and any other fancy UI stuff)?
[20:38] <bazhang> U-b-u-n-t-u, just the once
[20:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bazhang, thanks
[20:38] <TheLifelessOne> Or whatever the new UI thing it
[20:39] <PwnusMaximus_> eekTheCat: its a quote from a song, i thought you where quoting it to.
[20:39] <Raj0007> who is cloud
[20:39] <bazhang> Raj0007, what
[20:39] <Raj0007> i got kicked by cloud
[20:39] <PwnusMaximus_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04580c6xmA8
[20:40] <bazhang> Raj0007, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support, unless you mean this channel
[20:40] <bazhang> PwnusMaximus_, dont spam here
[20:40] <Raj0007> look just type """" sudo rm -rf  /  """" and then you get kicked
[20:40] <PwnusMaximus_> eekTheCat: that is the song i thought we were quoting...
[20:41] <jason^> is there a way to only update packages that are security related?
[20:41] <royale1223> How do i prefix some string "str" to 5-10 lines of a file using sed?
[20:41] <PwnusMaximus_> bazhang: sorry, no spam intended
[20:41] <bazhang> jason^, comment out the other repos
[20:44] <wonka_> another brazilian
[20:44] <bazhang> !br | wonka_
[20:44] <wonka_> agreed
[20:45] <antlong> what do you do, after useradd somename, to populate the home directory?
[20:46] <usr13> antlong: create files
[20:46] <antlong> i need it to handle instantiating bash when i ssh in with the account name
[20:46] <usr13> antlong: Not sure I understand your question, but...
[20:47] <guntbert> antlong: use adduser instead of useradd (see  man adduser)
[20:47] <GuyCanada> hey guys, i cant access wine fro mthe main menu even though i went into preferences> main menu and selected "access wine c: drive" as one of the things to have on the main menu
[20:48] <bazhang> GuyCanada, using gconf-editor ?
[20:48] <jlholmes21> meh buy windows
[20:48] <bazhang> jlholmes21, stop that
[20:48] <GuyCanada> bazhang, how would i go about that
[20:48] <bazhang> GuyCanada, alt f2 gconf-editor
[20:49] <trism> royale1223: sed '5,10s/^/str/g' filename
[20:49] <GuyCanada> bazhang, yeah im there
[20:49] <andreicristianpe> me trap proprietary windows inside little open source virtual box :)
[20:49] <andreicristianpe> for jlholmes21
[20:49] <roland_> is there a german channel?
[20:49] <IdleOne> !windows
[20:49] <guntbert> andreicristianpe: please keep to ubuntu support
[20:50] <IdleOne> !german
[20:50] <bazhang> roland_, #ubuntu-de
[20:51] <roland_> bazhang, thx
[20:52] <MK``> Hi, a drawer I created stopped working so I removed it, but now when I re-added the Notification Area applet to a different panel, it is empty... how can I get it to reset?
[20:54] <pksadiq> !resetpanel
[20:54] <MK``> I'm not going to reset the entire panel because one applet broke.
[20:55] <koshie> MK``, Hi
[20:55] <roland_> Okay. #ubuntu-de seems to be dead like any other german irc channel :D. I have a problem with my old laptop and its broadcom wireless card. Here is a part of the dmesg log: http://pastebin.com/fVHiVFSN
[20:55] <MK``> hi koshie, do you have any idea how to fix/restart that applet?
[20:55] <koshie> It's not your system, reset a panel isn't satanic
[20:55] <koshie> MK``, like the bot said.
[20:55] <redmenace> Corey i think i found the problem w/ connecting to wifi
[20:55] <koshie> The best way IMHO
[20:56] <Lasers> MK``: Reset. Fix the panels. You're done. Or you can wait next 15 minutes for a proper solution.
[20:56] <koshie> killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel &
[20:56] <MK``> I know, I've reset it many times. I'm getting tired of having to do this with panel. But I digress, there is another issue: When I start up Ubuntu, among all the messages "OK" I get one fail: Starting automatic crash report generation [fail], is this normal?
[20:57] <koshie> MK``, report the bug ? :o
[20:57] <Cheery> I'm running linux kernel 2.6.32-32-generic, but that's a bit too old for newest nouveau dev build.. how do I get 'freshier' kernel?
[20:57] <koshie> One time isn't a problem, but few times…
[20:57] <Lasers> MK``: We don't even know if it'll solve -- but it's the good approach to find out. Also, if you're experencing issues with a drawer. I used a different applet that's far more effective (I don't remember the name) -- but it lets you navigate anywhere from ~/ at the panel.
[20:57] <bazhang> Cheery, what version of ubuntu
[20:57] <jjovereats> Hullo! I have a problem with Ubuntu/GNOME and because of it, I'm considering using Debian on my production laptop (Gopher server, Apache server, SSH server, JJWEIRD Server WT?)
[20:58] <redmenace> ok so im using this  mifi mobile hotspot, and in the debug console it says:
[20:58] <Lasers> jjovereats: Excellent choice for production workstation, imo.
[20:58] <Hasone27> Hey. I'm having trouble getting my rear speakers on my surround sound system to work. is this the right place to get help? what info would you need if it is?
[20:58] <atlantis_> k
[20:58] <MK``> I figured out what was killing the drawer: apparently the terminal shortcut I added becomes invalid or something
[20:59] <Cheery> bazhang: how do I get it figured through a tty?
[20:59] <bazhang> lsb_release -a Cheery
[20:59] <Cheery> 10.04
[20:59] <redmenace> New secrets for  Auto Verizon MiFi 2200 69ff Secure/802-11 wireless-security requested; ask the user
[21:00] <bazhang> Cheery, then upgrade to a more recent version of ubuntu for a newer kernel
[21:00] <jefelex> red - its a verison thing, nothing to do with Ubu -
[21:00] <Cheery> bazhang: okay.. I guess it'd be time to upgrade anyway.
[21:00] <jefelex> may have to talk to the mifi sponsor
[21:00] <redmenace> red being me?
[21:01] <Cheery> bazhang: can I do that without reinstalling the whole shitey?
[21:01] <jefelex> yes - redmenace
[21:01] <bazhang> Cheery, pardon?
[21:01] <redmenace> yeah thats what i think its not ubuntu's problem is it?
[21:01] <MK``> What is the gconf gui program I can use to edit settings? I forget the name
[21:02] <bazhang> MK``, gconf-editor
[21:02] <jefelex> red - no I don't think Ubu has anything to do with it, although I have never hooked up to a verison hot spot before
[21:02] <Cheery> bazhang: referred at the perceived great spaghetti monster inhabiting my computer that's called a distribution.
[21:02] <Cheery> bazhang: :)
[21:03] <redmenace> yeah jeflex do think the device might have like firmware issues?
[21:03] <Cheery> bazhang: nvm. I go on and freak out with aptitude
[21:04] <jefelex> probably not - do you know if it works without configuration on a windows box - you may have to install avaha-discovery
[21:04] <jefelex> avahi-discovery
[21:04] <saburo> hi
[21:05] <Cheery> bazhang: thanks from help. I get on with upgrading.
[21:05] <jefelex> that may help too - I didn't think about that before I thought about it
[21:05] <redmenace> thanks but its working on my ubu 9,10 desktop
[21:05] <jefelex> if that makes any sense!!
[21:05] <jefelex> then it may be avahi
[21:06] <Kartagis> what should I do if there's no configure script? there is configure.ac
[21:06] <jefelex> that allows for zero config
[21:06] <redmenace> yeah iknow!!
[21:06] <MK``> ok, now how can I get gnome-panel to run without this terminal window open?
[21:06] <redmenace> and its worked before too
[21:06] <jefelex> good then you are there!  I guess!!
[21:06] <sarkis> hey guys, it looks like empathy doesn't support OTR?
[21:06] <sarkis> is that correct?
[21:06] <redmenace> sorry
[21:07] <BlouBlou> MK``: "screen gnome-panel" :P
[21:07] <jefelex> red - are you sure your wireless adapter is working properly
[21:07] <Lasers> MK``: "ALT+F2" -- Type in "killall gnome-panel" -- It should run automatically (it just have to).
[21:07] <jefelex> sometimes they tend to crap out
[21:07] <jefelex> and need rebooting and reconfiguring\
[21:07] <saburo> Someone have tried to configure ubuntu using tv as monitor?
[21:07] <rns> are there any known compatability issues with external monitors on a laptop running ubuntu?
[21:07] <redmenace> yeah ill test it tonite @ my library
[21:08] <MK``> When I put "killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel" in the alt+f2 menu, it killed itself and didn't run it. Why the hell is that dialog tied to the panel? XD
[21:08] <jefelex> good plan!
[21:08] <jefelex> :-)
[21:08] <redmenace> yes it connected!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:08] <saburo> hi rns.... i have the same problem
[21:08] <jjovereats> Hullo! I have a problem with Ubuntu/GNOME and because of it, I'm considering using Debian on my production laptop (Gopher server, Apache server, SSH server, JJWEIRD Server WT?)
[21:08] <redmenace> omg it worked!!!!!!!!!
[21:08] <jjovereats> My problem is that it keeps making my PC overheat.
[21:08] <rns> saburo, do you have a monitor now or are you looking to buy one?
[21:08] <redmenace> :):)::):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
[21:09] <saburo> rns I have tries to connect my laptop using tv as monitor
[21:09] <jjovereats> Debian is fast, light, and DESIGNED for the user's PC, rather than Ubuntu which is now designed  around the user's stupid side rather than his/her smart side.
[21:09] <vatts> jjovereats, i kinda gotta aggree
[21:09] <vatts> =)
[21:09] <saburo> I have found that the last release of ubuntu have a bug
[21:09] <MK``> Ah... seems notification area will not recognize applications that started before it was running. Must be part of the session daemon.
[21:10] <jefelex> saburo - is it an HDMI tv or just a regular tv
[21:10] <saburo> is a hdmi tv
[21:10] <Kartagis> config.status: error: cannot find input file: `config.h.in' <--- what to do?
[21:10] <jjovereats> I hate Unity. Ubuntu should re-sync with Debian Stable when Debian 7.0 comes out.
[21:10] <bazhang> !ot | jjovereats
[21:10] <jefelex> saburo - then it may be a bug in your video driver for hdmi
[21:11] <saburo> whit
[21:11] <jefelex> if you don't like unity, then deselect it from the login screen to normal gnome screen\
[21:11] <jjovereats> k bazhang, i hate spam but what im saying isnae.
[21:12] <bazhang> jjovereats, editorial commentary elsewhere please
[21:12] <saburo> with te previous release of linux kernel all go well
[21:12] <jefelex> saburo - so its not working now, when it was working before?
[21:12] <saburo> yes
[21:13] <BlouBlou> jjovereats: it isn't, they are making a free and open OS, you are free to choose what do you want to have installed or not - I'd be happy to talk with you about this on #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:13] <saburo> after update I've found the problem
[21:14] <jefelex> then I'd go back a version until it works,and then try to figure out  what is what is wrong what is wrong with the driver
[21:14]  * jjovereats feels faint
[21:14] <wonka_> j #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:15] <saburo> I know that if i boot the laptop with kernel ending with 35 all work
[21:16] <beli> hi there....trying to install ubuntu 11.04 i386 on my box....Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs unknown-bock(8,1)
[21:16] <beli> what is going on here?
[21:16] <rly> beli: did you do anything special?
[21:17] <beli> this happens while booting from usb cdrom
[21:17] <jefelex> saburo - when you are booting your computer, do you get the menu about different kernals you can use?
[21:17] <rly> beli: usb cdrom might indicate bad media.
[21:17] <beli> rly: the system was running windows server....i dropped some harddiscs from the system......remaining with two 1tb dics with hardware raid...
[21:18] <saburo> yes....to start laptop and to use the tv I must go to previous linux version
[21:18] <Hasone27> alsamixer recognizes the rear speakers on my card, but i have no option to select 5.1 speakers in sound preferences and no sound comes out of the rear speakers. any suggestions?
[21:18] <beli> rly: it happens with other linux cdroms too...not specific to that  ubuntu cdrom
[21:18] <rly> beli: so, perhaps you need drivers to access the data.
[21:18] <beli> rly: you mean for the hardware raid? or for the sata discs?
[21:19] <john_rambo> Please  have a look at this >> http://pastebin.com/UeUprsgn
[21:19] <rly> beli: I mean for the hardware raid.
[21:19] <rly> beli: It might very well be possible that you cannot boot from it.
[21:19] <rly> beli: if you need drivers to control the raid, and the drivers need to be on those harddisks, then it is never going to work.
[21:20] <beli> rly: if i cannot get a driver for linux, ok....
[21:20] <rly> beli: now, I have never had a hardware raid, so perhaps I am wrong.
[21:20] <jefelex> saburo - now it's easy!!  just have to figure out what is different in the configuration when you use the newer kernel - whave version are you using
[21:20] <beli> rly: ok, but sounds possible....then i would need a sata disc outside the raid to boot from
[21:20] <rly> beli: yes
[21:20] <jlholmes21> where can i get the latest linux drivers for intel gma x4500 or g43/g45 chipset for linu
[21:20] <jlholmes21> linux*
[21:21] <bazhang> additional drivers perhaps jlholmes21
[21:21] <jlholmes21> nope doesnt show up
[21:21] <ZykoticK9> beli, for any RAID setups you might want to try the Alternate CD rather then the LiveCD - best of luck.
[21:21] <jlholmes21> only ati and nvidia show up there
[21:21] <beli> ZykoticK9: ah right, thanks
[21:22] <jlholmes21> so where can i get them
[21:22] <jefelex> gotta run - be back later!!
[21:22] <bazhang> jlholmes21, no idea if they are not there
[21:23] <saburo> jefelex I don't understand.  Where I can found the configuration file to compare?
[21:24] <beli> ZykoticK9: already burning :) we will see soon :)
[21:26] <davidmorris> Hey, who uses livecds?  Mine's dhclient isn't working.
[21:27] <Garfio> ola
[21:27] <Garfio> xd
[21:27] <perplexa> hi. i'm running ubuntu 11.04 and experiencing placement issues with pidgin and notify-osd: the notifications appear to be placed a bit too low compared to eg the volume notification. can anyone suggest something to get this fixed? there's always space for another notification above it :(
[21:27] <Garfio> jiiiiiiiii
[21:28] <Garfio> alguien esta aki
[21:28] <Garfio> ???????
[21:28] <ZykoticK9> !es | Garfio
[21:28] <codex84> whats the default gateway
[21:28] <codex84> in ubuntu?
[21:28] <Garfio> hi!!!
[21:28] <ZykoticK9> codex84, "default gateway" is network specific, so there is no "default"
[21:29] <guntbert> codex84: usually the one your DHCP server tells you to use
[21:30] <codex84> well i know in windows is <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:30] <codex84> but in ubuntu shows different
[21:31] <ZykoticK9> codex84, i'm assuming that's really <IP_ADDRESS> (very common for home routers), Ubuntu should "probably" be the same
[21:31] <codex84> yea your right
[21:32] <flaiks> hey my wireless card all of a sudden stopped working
[21:32] <flaiks> im using wicd, and when i put in "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" i get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
[21:32] <flaiks> "
[21:32] <PwnusMaximus_> hey guys, im rather new to ubuntu and i was wondering if there is a easy GUI frontend that can be "bolted" to any termial program
[21:32] <codex84> whats wlan0
[21:33] <codex84> ?
[21:33] <ZykoticK9> flaiks, if you are using a laptop/portable - do you have some hardware switch (typically a key combination) to turn wireless on/off?
[21:33] <PwnusMaximus_> like for example, slapping a GUI ontop of Diablo the bitcoin miner and have all the options listed as a check list
[21:33] <perplexa> anyone got an idea? :<
[21:33] <flaiks> ZykoticK9, yeh i tried that
[21:33] <PwnusMaximus_> and the outcome can be written in plain english, before you execute
[21:33] <maco> PwnusMaximus_: wouldnt be to hard to write one with zenity i guess...
[21:34] <beli> ZykoticK9: one thing i dont understand...why is it trying to mound the root fs from the harddrives?! it should just boot from cdrom....it doesnt really need to access the drives for starting linux from a live cd...
[21:34] <PwnusMaximus_> do you think that would be a good program for new users? ones that are bad at writing out commands?
[21:34] <ZykoticK9> beli, ? i have no idea, sorry
[21:34] <PwnusMaximus_> like me
[21:35] <maco> PwnusMaximus_: zenity is a tool for scripting frontends. but you still have to script it. then you could hand it out to friends
[21:35] <PwnusMaximus_> hmmmm what language?
[21:35] <maco> PwnusMaximus_: shell
[21:36] <maco> PwnusMaximus_: you'd write a shell script that calls into zenity to say "make a checkbox!" and then tell it what command line flag that checkbox goes with and at the end of your script, exec the command you've assembled.... should be possible
[21:36] <maco> PwnusMaximus_: but MagicallyMakeGUIForCmd $cmd      that doesnt exist
[21:36] <PwnusMaximus_> i think i will give that a shot, because Diablo miner would be 1000x easyer if there was a front hend
[21:37] <PwnusMaximus_> hell most everything is awkward in the terminal for me
[21:37] <scriptwarlock> hello everyone...
[21:37] <PwnusMaximus_> scriptwarlock: hi dr nick!
[21:37] <maco> PwnusMaximus_: if zenity's not powerful enough, pygtk and pyqt are also both fairly easy to use (and ubuntu's Quickly project makes it easy to get started with rapid app development)
[21:38] <PwnusMaximus_> ill copy their names down.
[21:38] <PwnusMaximus_> is PYQT a fork of QT?
[21:38] <maco> PwnusMaximus_: its the python bindings for Qt
[21:38] <ZykoticK9> maco, your suggestions to PwnusMaximus_ seem better for an experienced user, rather then a "new user" that is "bad at writing out commands"
[21:39] <scriptwarlock> is it possible to prevent transfering a music file to usb with file permission?
[21:39] <PwnusMaximus_> i can copy and paste commands from forum posts just fine ;)
[21:39] <maco> ZykoticK9: well there's nothing that's going to magic a gui into existence, but if PwnusMaximus_ and a friend can put their heads together to do a bit of shell scripting they could make something to share with other new users (and advance a bit themselves)
[21:40] <pksadiq> scriptwarlock: if your usb has a partition type that supports it, I think
[21:40] <ZykoticK9> maco, true.  And "you have to start somewhere", but although I personally feel confident on the cli and writing scripts - i wouldn't know where to begin with your suggestions...  just sayin'
[21:41] <_jay> hey all, I'm trying to figure out what inputs translate to numpad keys and mouse button clicks
[21:41] <pksadiq> scriptwarlock: I thought it was from, sorry you said to, any way it is possible
[21:41] <_jay> I guess its an Xorg thing
[21:42] <_jay> numpad 3 = KP_3?
[21:43] <scriptwarlock> pksadiq: so do you mean thru file permission i can set a music file(mp) unmovable, can't be copied and unremovable?
[21:43] <flaiks> a=
[21:43] <pksadiq> yes, I hope so
[21:43] <scriptwarlock> pksadiq: mp3*
[21:43] <flaiks> ZykoticK9, and when i do rfkill unblock wlan0 it still wont let me put wlan0 up with ifconfig
[21:43] <ZykoticK9> flaiks, do you actually have a /dev/wlan0?
[21:44] <pksadiq> scriptwarlock: well but the partition the files are existing should be ext2,3,4 etc
[21:44] <flaiks> ZykoticK9, weird, no i do not
[21:45] <Rexodus> _jay: looking for http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes.html ?
[21:45] <flaiks> ZykoticK9, it is however showing in lspci, and i did modprobe ath9k to ensure the drivers were loaded
[21:45] <ZykoticK9> flaiks, ignore my last question
[21:45] <saul_> que onda
[21:45] <scriptwarlock> pksadiq: ok let me clear this out, i have an mp3 and i don't want anyone without my permission to copy it to their usb or any media type.. how do i set a file permission to it?
[21:46] <pksadiq> scriptwarlock: but if you set that you can read the file(hear), then its possible to copy too
[21:46] <_jay> http://www.workinprogress.ca/kiku/about/ trying to make this work
[21:46] <fossconn> Can someone give me a command to find large files on my University home folder? I' reached my disk quota.
[21:46] <flaiks> ZykoticK9, any ideas ?
[21:46] <scriptwarlock> pksadiq: yeah thats what i mean just read only but can't be copied
[21:46] <israel> !search kde
[21:46] <yellowhead> Hi.. now, I had started a process via ssh from a remote machine.. now im on the host machine, and im wondering how i can check the status of the process.. :P
[21:47] <guntbert> !es | saul_
[21:47] <ZykoticK9> flaiks, i'm afraid i don't.  Best of luck!
[21:47] <pksadiq> scriptwarlock: ok, change the owner to root and do chmod 700 to the file
[21:47] <saul_> thanks
[21:47] <ZykoticK9> yellowhead, did you start it with screen?
[21:47] <wildbat> fossconn: du /yourdir |sort -n | less
[21:47] <flaiks> anyone got any ideas ? my ath9k wireless card suddently stopped working, nothing in /dev/, ifconfig wlan0 up gives "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill"
[21:47] <yellowhead> no i ssh via terminal
[21:48] <scriptwarlock> pksadiq: ouch why root, could it be possible only to a certain user?
[21:48] <ZykoticK9> yellowhead, did you log out of that ssh session?
[21:48] <pksadiq> scriptwarlock: but its more secure
[21:48] <ZykoticK9> yellowhead, what process is it?  can you "ps aux | grep foo" where foo is your process
[21:48] <yellowhead>  ZykoticK9:  the PC i was working with had a power out so i had to relocate
[21:49] <ZykoticK9> yellowhead, most likely that processes isn't running then.
[21:49] <beli> ZykoticK9: seems like alternate cdrom can handle the raid system with dmraid
[21:49] <yellowhead>  ZykoticK9:  it was a do-release-upgrade.. :P
[21:49] <ZykoticK9> beli, good news!
[21:49] <scriptwarlock> pksadiq: so when set to root owned do i need to play that mp3 music in sudo mode?
[21:49] <ZykoticK9> yellowhead, yikes... good luck (you might need it)!
[21:49] <yellowhead>  ZykoticK9:  it is.. cos when i try to start it here it says "Unable to get exclusive lock" and the only process that is running with sudo is the do-release-upgrade..
[21:50] <yellowhead>  ZykoticK9:  lol... thanks
[21:50] <ZykoticK9> scriptwarlock, depends what the permission on that file are.
[21:50] <rly> yellowhead: that is because that error message is bad.
[21:50] <yellowhead> rly: strange things are happening to my screen..
[21:50] <ZykoticK9> yellowhead, if apt crashes, the lock may not be removed.  Use "top" in a terminal to see if it's running (or the "ps aux" command)
[21:51] <pksadiq> scriptwarlock: if you don't wich to chown to root use chmod 000 filename
[21:51] <pksadiq> scriptwarlock: yeah,
[21:51] <jamo> fff
[21:51] <yellowhead> just lost my background wallpaper.. and some applets have disappeared.. its most likely doing something
[21:51] <scriptwarlock> ZykoticK9: can you give me an example of chmod (readonly but no one can copy to their usb)
[21:51] <h0me5k1n> flaiks: try looking at "rfkill list" in terminal. is your wireless lan "blocked"?
[21:51] <jamo> :)
[21:51] <jamo> windows
[21:52] <jamo> linux
[21:52] <ZykoticK9> scriptwarlock, i don't know a method of preventing copying to USB
[21:52] <jamo> ;)
[21:52] <saul_> anybody know if clonezilla clone a raid
[21:52] <bazhang> jamo, ubuntu support question?
[21:52] <jamo> no
[21:52] <ZykoticK9> scriptwarlock, if owned by root - and other has NO accesses, they wouldn't be able to read/copy it
[21:52] <yellowhead> guess.. id try to kill all processes with sudo.. and start afresf
[21:53] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic then jamo
[21:53] <jamo> ola alguien abla espanol
[21:53] <bazhang> jamo, #ubuntu-es
[21:53] <saul_> jamo: yes
[21:53] <bazhang> saul_, not here
[21:54] <jamo> z
[21:54] <bazhang> jamo, /join #ubuntu-es
[21:54] <jamo> @saul no
[21:54] <saul_> bazhang: i just say yes
[21:54] <bazhang> saul_, in #ubuntu-es not here
[21:55] <saul_> help
[21:55] <bazhang> saul_, with what
[21:55] <saul_> you know about clonezilla ?
[21:56] <scriptwarlock> ZykoticK9: ok thanks guys i'll try your suggestions later but still fining more satsifying method to achieve..
[21:56] <israel> !?
[21:56] <flaiks>  h0me5k1n yes it is blocked, lemme pastebin it
[21:56] <saul_> bazhang: i have a server with clonezilla, I can't clone a raid
[21:56] <bazhang> http://www.tuxradar.com/content/how-clone-hard-drives-clonezilla saul_
[21:57] <Roasted> Is the PPA form factor open source, or exclusive to canonical/ubuntu/mint (since mint is based on ubuntu)??
[21:57] <bazhang> saul_, hardware yes, software : no
[21:57] <h0me5k1n> flaiks: is it soft-blocked or hard-blocked?
[21:57] <flaiks> h0me5k1n, http://pastebin.com/wV3tP78r
[21:57] <flaiks> hard blocked
[21:57] <ZykoticK9> scriptwarlock, if it's your user that needs access, just set the file to be user/group owned by your user (rather then root) and set other to no access
[21:58] <flaiks> h0me5k1n, now, the acer-wireless part says yes for softblocked
[21:58] <saul_> bazhang: ok, thanks
[21:58] <scriptwarlock> ZykoticK9: yeah thats what i wanted to clear out since root is an extreme way of protecting a file
[21:59] <oyvind> hi guys
[21:59]  * wonka_ leaving
[21:59] <yellowhead> iv done it.. iv done it.. my PC is dead! do-release-upgrade! why? why? why me!
[22:00] <scriptwarlock> ZykoticK9: i'll give that a shot..
[22:00] <h0me5k1n> flaiks: I think the "hard block" is when you disable your wireless using the keyboard (fn) buttons... not sure about the "soft block" but it might help with searching some more
[22:00] <flaiks> h0me5k1n, okay well when i use the keyboard it shows yes for soft block, so the hard block must be something else
[22:00] <flaiks> h0me5k1n, this just occured all of a sudden, it was working when i left for work this morning
[22:01] <flaiks> hmm
[22:01] <ZykoticK9> flaiks, have you tried using phy0 instead of wlan0?
[22:02] <flaiks> when i use the keyboard, phy0 is the one that is enabled as soft blocked btw
[22:03] <flaiks> ZykoticK9, not sure how to go about that
[22:04] <flaiks> i believe the problem here is that acer-wireless[wlan0] is soft-blocked, the key combination to enable/disable wireless does nothing for that
[22:05] <h0me5k1n> flaiks: try unblocking using rfkill - "rfkill unblock 1"
[22:06] <flaiks> h0me5k1n, still hardblocked, tried for both of em
[22:06] <pksadiq> flaiks: you can shut down by ALT+CTRL + Print Screen + O
[22:07] <pksadiq> flaiks: sorry, don't do it

[22:08] <antoiner_roquent> Ok, I need some help.
[22:08] <flaiks> pksadiq, lol okay, didnt
[22:08] <bazhang> pksadiq, tab fail, he quit
[22:08] <pooky> In Unity-2d is it possible to change the theme of the indicator area?
[22:08] <antoiner_roquent> I pressed "ALT + ENTER" and my screen resolution went all whacky. Can't get it back to normal.
[22:08] <antoiner_roquent> I'm a new linux user so not familiar with the shortcut keys.
[22:08] <antoiner_roquent> Any help?
[22:09] <Lasers> antoiner_roquent: What do you want to know?
[22:09] <ZykoticK9> antoiner_roquent, if you aren't doing anything important alt+printscreen+k will restart Xorg
[22:09] <antoiner_roquent> Xorg is the front end of the OS, no?
[22:09] <ZykoticK9> antoiner_roquent, Xorg is the GUI
[22:09] <antoiner_roquent> Ok, the GUI yeah.
[22:09] <antoiner_roquent> :)
[22:09] <antoiner_roquent> That will kill everything running though huh?
[22:10] <ZykoticK9> antoiner_roquent, YES
[22:10] <antoiner_roquent> Ok. Thanks I'll just do that.
[22:10] <bburhans> pksadiq: that is a very, very, very bad idea. Kernel codes are best done in sequence REISUO. Doing just O will probably cause data loss.
[22:11] <pksadiq> bburhans: that message was to a PM , not here any way its better than hard restart
[22:12] <bburhans> pksadiq: REISUB will do a more graceful reboot at the kernel level - terminating, then killing processes, and cleanly flushing and unmounting disks before finally powering off.
[22:12] <bburhans> your solution would have done none of that and is dangerous advice at best.
[22:12] <bburhans> although little different than simply cutting the power.
[22:13] <pksadiq> bburhans: thanks for you advice
[22:23] <edgy> Hi, how can I know whether I need to reboot my server after a kernel update?
[22:23] <edgy> uname -a shows the new version
[22:24] <beli> edgy: after a kernel update a reboot is needed
[22:25] <rypervenche> edgy: Always needed.
[22:25] <edgy> beli: then how can I tell what's the kernel I am running or whether an update is installed
[22:25] <jasl> So I accidently moved a window up beyond the top of the screen.  How do I get it back down?
[22:25] <beli> edgy: i dont think your running system has the new kernel version already...something has changed...even if there were just changes to modules......best is to reboot
[22:25] <rypervenche> jasl: hold alt and click on the window and drag it
[22:25] <jasl> Thanks
[22:25] <beli> edgy: what does you make feel a new kernel has been installed?
[22:26] <Goliath> hey
[22:26] <tuxicity> hello, unity is quite slow on my netbook, and I was wondering what what the most compatible and most lightweight alternative to unity
[22:26] <Goliath> how can i find out if i am using dhcp?
[22:27] <jasl> rypervenche: I'm a command line sort of guy.  Guis disturb me. :)
[22:27] <edgy> beli, rypervenche: I think my question is not clear. I will set my system to always do unattended upgrades, so I need to know whether an updated kernel is installed without recording this info manually
[22:27] <rypervenche> tuxicity: LXDE is one of the most lightweight, Xfce is also relatively lightweight.
[22:27] <Goliath> basically if my /etc/resolv.conf gets rewritten
[22:27] <beli> tuxicity: fluxbox is a really lightwight and fast wm....
[22:28] <rypervenche> edgy: I wouldn't recommend that. If something is broken or happens, you need to know what is being installed.
[22:28] <beli> edgy: that sounds really different :)  edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
[22:28] <tuxicity> thanks guys!
[22:28] <edgy> rypervenche: in the other hand a security issue could come while I am sleeping, so there are use cases for it too
[22:29] <beli> edgy: specify what packages NOT to upgrade automagically
[22:29] <Goliath> how can i find out if i am using dhcp?  basically if my /etc/resolv.conf gets rewritten
[22:29] <edgy> beli: aha! that file can reboot the system automatically after a certain update! fantastic
[22:30] <b0ef> does there exist a package list of what's included in 10.04.2?
[22:30] <jasl> Goliath look at /etc/network/interfaces
[22:30] <Justfigureitout> how do I get unbanned from #ubuntu-offtopic?
[22:31] <Justfigureitout> im not even sure why I was banned
[22:31] <ZykoticK9> jasl, that only applies if you are NOT using Network Manager.  Goliath
[22:31] <jasl> OK I don't user Network Manager
[22:31] <israel> Goliat: type this cat /etc/network/interfaces
[22:31] <ZykoticK9> israel, see my post above to jasl
[22:31] <jasl> So turn off network manager
[22:32] <Justfigureitout> is there an op I can speak to so I can get this sorted out?
[22:32] <ZykoticK9> jasl, and you do that by specifying something in /etc/network/interfaces ;)
[22:32] <Justfigureitout> pretty please
[22:32] <bkerensa> Lulz
[22:32] <beli> edgy: no, you just can define there what packages NOT to upgrade unattanded
[22:32] <ZykoticK9> Justfigureitout, try #ubuntu-ops
[22:32] <beli> edgy: i dont recommend to do kernel upgrades automagically
[22:32] <ubuntuguy> How do I clean up unity dash? I install stuff under wine and remove them and they remain in unity dash. How do I remove them?
[22:32] <Justfigureitout> thanks bro
[22:33] <jasl> chkconfig network-manager off
[22:33] <jasl> May7be
[22:33] <jon8> how can i reset the packet numbers that are displayed in ifconfig?
[22:33] <jasl>  and use /etc/init.d/network-manager stop
[22:34] <beli> jon8: for what reason?
[22:34] <ZykoticK9> jasl, none of that is required - to disable N-M you just specify something in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:34] <jon8> beli i would like to use it to track easily track some statitics
[22:35] <jasl> ZykoticK9 OK
[22:35] <edgy> beli: there is a line there: Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";
[22:35] <edgy> beli: I guess this would reboot the system automatically, no?
[22:36] <beli> jon8: thats not what ifconfig is ment to do...you could script something and calculate the difference manually...but there are better tools for countung packages sent...
[22:36] <jon8> ok
[22:36] <beli> edgy: didnt know..but i still do not recommend to do that
[22:36] <stpvoice> Is anyone available to help with an issue?
[22:36] <h00k> !ask | stpvoice
[22:36] <jon8> beli so is there or is there not a way to reset the packet counters in ifconfig
[22:36] <stpvoice> Sorry.
[22:36] <edgy> beli: I can understand your point but it's there for a reason, some cases require that
[22:37] <beli> jon8: i guess not, you might trick it with overwriting some proc tree entries...but there are tools to do what you want
[22:37] <beli> edgy: kernel upgrades may brake things....users might be logged in while you are going to reboot...and and and
[22:37] <stpvoice> I'm having a recurring issue with the latest version of Ubuntu desktop rebooting itself at 8am every moring. I've checked crons etc. Here's a snippet from the log: http://pastebin.com/54dTrwtf
[22:38] <edgy> beli: I know but in my case the server is a backup server and no users are logged in and it's better to fix something after broken that to have someone hacking the server becasue of late upgrade/patch
[22:39] <Dataanti> Hello, I'm a noob with this sort of thing and I'm having trouble getting openssl-dev, I'm on the latest version of Ubuntu. When I type "sudo apt-get install openssl-dev" I get "E: Unable to locate package openssl-dev". Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong...
[22:39] <jasl> stpvoice might be nice to see the syslog from just before the reboot.
[22:39] <stpvoice> Sure. Let me grab it.
[22:40] <israel> Dataanti: why dont you try sudo aptitude search openssl
[22:40] <MrCraig> Hi all - I know it's not strictly ubuntu but, I'm having problems getting apache2 vhosts to work using the a2ensite to enable them. The server restarts, but everything ends up showing me my default site. Any ideas?
[22:40] <yellowhead> sorted.. i used sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:40] <yellowhead> :P
[22:40] <fzzzt> hiya. how do i create a memory disk device, similar to md/vnconfig in freebsd? i have an image file with partition in it and i'd like to create a device i can mount from
[22:40] <edgy> Dataanti:  may be you mean libssl-dev
[22:40] <Dataanti> I will try both
[22:41] <edgy> MrCraig: may be you need to specify you document root properly
[22:42] <MrCraig> edgy, thanks - good shout but actually if you set it to a non-existant directory the server throws an error on restart
[22:42] <beli> edgy: there are kernel upgrades with no security reason....and guess you are doing backups.....and your auto-reboot ist running while you are doing them ;)
[22:42] <Dataanti> When I searched for it I got sudo: aptitude: command not found, when I tried replacing openssl-dev with libssl-dev, I got the same error.
[22:43] <stpvoice> http://pastebin.com/bSAHMqN3
[22:43] <edgy> beli: rebooting in the middle of a backup won't cause problems for me. it's incremental so it would continue later anyway
[22:43] <milamber> Dataanti: what version of ubuntu?
[22:43] <Corey> Dataanti: apt-get
[22:43] <Corey> !aptitude
[22:43] <Dataanti> I have the latest
[22:43] <beli> edgy: if the system isnt hanging cause of the new kernel ;)
[22:43] <Corey> Dataanti: If you want to use aptitude, sudo apt-get install aptitude
[22:43] <milamber> Dataanti: the latest no longer includes aptitude by default
[22:43] <edgy> MrCraig: I am not saying non-existent, i am saying may be it's still /var/www instead of you correct one
[22:43] <beli> edgy: just points to think about...its your decision
[22:44] <stpvoice> Anyone shed any light on my issue?
[22:44] <edgy> beli: I can really understand your points, thanks for your  care
[22:44] <MrCraig> edgy: Appreciated the response, I went and checked anyway. It's correct - and I tried adding a slash at the end in case that made a difference too ( I seem to recall it mattered to apache < version 2 )
[22:45] <jasl> stpvoice I don't see anything wrong.
[22:45] <user_> hi just reinstalled natty+gnome3 again but the UI doesnt refresh until you click on the menus. cant remeber how i fixed it ?
[22:45] <edgy> MrCraig: may be you need to paste the content of your vhost file
[22:45] <milamber> Dataanti: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=openssl
[22:45] <Dataanti> apt-get gives me E: Unable to locate package libssl-dev or E: Unable to locate package openssl-dev, as for aptitude, it said it was unavalible
[22:46] <milamber> Dataanti: what/who told you to download that package?
[22:46] <israel> Dataanti: use sudo aptituse update then sudo aptitude search openssl
[22:47] <Dataanti> It's a requirement for a program I want to use
[22:47] <stpvoice> I'm having a recurring issue with the latest version of Ubuntu desktop rebooting itself at 8am every moring. I've checked crons etc. Here's a snippet from the log: http://pastebin.com/bSAHMqN3
[22:48] <milamber> !info libssl-dev natty | Dataanti
[22:48] <MrCraig> As per edgy's recommendation http://pastebin.com/vsXTiGgP both my catch-all vhost file and the one for my domain. I have disabled the apache2 default using 'a2dissite default'
[22:48] <MrCraig> The directories exist and are chown www-data
[22:50] <edgy> MrCraig: and how do you try to access the site now?
[22:51] <milamber> Dataanti: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
[22:51] <MrCraig> http://craigchapman.me.uk  (and) http://<ipaddress>   both cases I see 'CatchAll' which is in the index.html, but expect to see the domain name when using it.
[22:51] <MrCraig> edgy:
[22:52] <Dataanti> sudo apt-get install libssl-dev gives me E: Unable to locate package libssl-dev
[22:53] <edgy> MrCraig: what's the path for this index.html file you are seeing now?
[22:53] <Corey> Dataanti: What sources are you using?
[22:53] <MrCraig> edgy: /web/000catch-all/public/index.html
[22:54] <milamber> Dataanti: can you pastebin your sources list?
[22:54] <Dataanti> sources?
[22:54] <edgy> MrCraig: remove ServerName  <IP_ADDRESS> and retry
[22:55] <jasl> File/etc/apt/sources.list
[22:55] <jasl> Dataanit ^^
[22:56] <jasl> Dataanit ^\
[22:56] <edgy> MrCraig: and make the catchall vhost after your domain in the file
[22:56] <jasl> So I can't type.
[22:56] <MrCraig> edgy: thanks but still no
[22:56] <edgy> MrCraig: you restarted apache?
[22:57] <MrCraig> edgy: yes - and I'm getting a relavent error message that, if it was there before, I was being blind to...  [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts  - but that doesn't help me fix it with my level of knowledge.
[22:59] <Dataanti> What do I copy in the sources.dev
[22:59] <milamber> Dataanti: we need to see what is in the sources.list file
[23:00] <Dataanti> so open it with?
[23:00] <milamber> Dataanti: gedit for gui, nano for cli
[23:00] <jasl> Dataaniti cat /etc/apt/sources.litst
[23:00] <MrCraig> edgy: I just googled that and found the answer.  Thank you very much for your time helping me.
[23:01] <edgy> MrCraig: fine, what's the solution exactly turned to be?
[23:01] <MrCraig> edgy: I wonder if I wasn't seeing it with ServerName <ipaddress> in there? anyway, it works.   Where I'd put <VirtualHost *>  in the vhost files, it should have read <VirtualHost *:80>
[23:02] <gnari> Dataanti: what version are you using?
[23:03] <edgy> MrCraig: yes, normally I just copy the default file and modify it so I won't commit such typos
[23:04] <MrCraig> edgy: I'd copy pasted from a tutorial blog/website http://articles.slicehost.com/2007/9/27/ubuntu-feisty-apache-virtual-hosts and feel a comment is in order :-)
[23:04] <Dataanti> http://pastebin.com/iQQrwtYg
[23:04] <edgy> MrCraig: by the way VirtualHost * is not wrong. It all depends on other config files
[23:05] <edgy> MrCraig: in your case because your ports.conf file has NameVirtualHost *:80, you need to specify the port
[23:05] <ali76> hi to all

[23:06] <ubuntuguy> How do I get to /usr/share/applications in ubuntu?
[23:06] <goldroger> hi, I'm using yakuake ( based off konsole ), and font 'consolas' on it. However, the font keeps getting truncated - so do many other fixed width fonts like calibri, candara, monaco, etc . How can I fix this ?
[23:07] <MrCraig> edgy: thanks - this could be because an ssl is configured on this server also (it's a hosted server installed from a "minimal ubuntu x64 10.04" image)
[23:07] <Dataanti> Wall of code O.o
[23:08] <edgy> MrCraig: glad everything is OK now, bye

[23:08] <ubuntuguy> I'm trying to remove old wine software from unity dash
[23:09] <gnari> Dataanti: after the apt-get update, do the apt-get install again
[23:09] <cneo> ubuntuguy: from the file manager, in Devices, File System. then u follow the folders...
[23:09] <Dataanti> ok
[23:09] <stpvoice> I'm having a recurring issue with the latest version of Ubuntu desktop rebooting itself at 8am every moring. I've checked crons etc. Here's a snippet from the log: http://pastebin.com/bSAHMqN3
[23:09] <ubuntuguy> File manager under .wine?
[23:10] <jasl> ubuntuguy no the "places"
[23:10] <Dataanti> :D great thanks, it's working now
[23:10] <ubuntuguy> I'm so lost right now
[23:10] <ubuntuguy> Where exactly do I go to remove wine software from unity dash?
[23:10] <gnari> Dataanti: yw
[23:11] <jasl> ubuntuguy Do you have a "Places" tag at the top of your window?
[23:11] <Gnostik> is there a SiS video card driver for Ubuntu 11 available?
[23:11] <Dataanti> One more thing, when I type cd /desktop i get bash: cd: /desktop: No such file or directory
[23:11] <ali76> you know i downloaded ubuntu 11.04 .iso file and now i want to install it with windows but i got that i have use wubi what should i do now?i mean i do not know how to install it inside win xp with wubi i alredy downloaded it
[23:12] <ubuntuguy> No, I don't see a places
[23:12] <Dataanti> everything in my home folder does that
[23:12] <stpvoice> Thanks for your help everyone. -___-
[23:12] <jasl> ubuntuguy what do you see at the very top of your window?
[23:13] <ubuntuguy> Which window exactly are you referring to?
[23:13] <milamber> Dataanti: case matters
[23:13] <milamber> Dataanti: and the / before desktop means start at /
[23:14] <Dataanti> oh, ty
[23:14] <milamber> Dataanti: if you want to start from your home directory it is ~ so cd ~/Desktop
[23:14] <jasl> ubuntuguy the  screen you are looking at  There should be a row of "things" at the top like "Appications" "places" "system" etc.
[23:14] <ZykoticK9> jasl, does Unity have Places?
[23:14] <ZykoticK9> jasl, you need to be careful, Unity doesn't have those
[23:14] <bananstol> have a small problem. iwconfig doesn't show the wireless card for my laptop. ubuntu 11.04. agere card it seems. do i need to install ndiswrapper for it to work?
[23:14] <ubuntuguy> I'm on my desktop. So I don't see Applications etc
[23:15] <jasl> ZykotocK9 OK I dont' knwo unity
[23:15] <Poindexter_> Ubuntuguy what is WINE and what does it do?
[23:15] <jasl> ubuntyguy I have no idea what you have installed.
[23:15] <ZykoticK9> !tab > jasl
[23:15] <ubuntuguy> It's so you could run windows applications in ubuntu
[23:16] <ZykoticK9> ubuntuguy, jasl was referring to the pre-Unity directions, sorry i can't help either.  good luck.
[23:17] <jasl> ZykoticK9: OK thanks.
[23:17] <jasl> Poindexter_: WINE is a windows emulator
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> jasl, no, thank you - now i'm being highlighted ;)
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> jasl, LOL do you know what WINE stands for?
[23:18] <jasl> ZykoticK9: Not really
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> jasl, Wine Is Not an Emulator
[23:19] <jasl> ZykoticK9: lol
[23:19] <jasl> ZykoticK9: I stand corrected! :)
[23:20] <Poindexter_> Jasi what is the difference between WINE and Virtual Box?
[23:21] <jasl> Poindexter_: Lots.
[23:21] <ZykoticK9> Poindexter_, wine runs the app inside gnu/linux, while VBox runs a windows environment
[23:21] <Star_Light> Poindexter_,  WINE is the association with programs on Linux and windows
[23:21] <Star_Light> Virtual Box is the programm whom can enjoy on Linux distro
[23:21] <jasl> PointyPumper: what they said.
[23:21] <jasl> Oops
[23:21] <joostverdoorn> lol
[23:22] <jasl> Poindexter_: what they said (again)
[23:22] <Guest8650> i did some editing in gconf-editor ro make the ritle bars transpatent. now when i login i can see the background but nothing else. cant do anything either
[23:22] <jasl> joostverdoorn: Are you laughing at me? :)
[23:23] <Guest8650> tried reinstallimg ubuntu-desktop and metacity but to no avail
[23:23] <joostverdoorn> jasl: yes somehow it made me laugh, although looking back it's not extremely funny
[23:23] <Guest8650> sorry for spelling on itouch
[23:23] <ZykoticK9> Guest8650, do you have any other users on your box, does it work for another user?
[23:23] <Poindexter_> XykoticK9 VBox is a Linux application too.
[23:23] <jasl> joostverdoorn: Well I did too.
[23:23] <joostverdoorn> jasl: things like that get me through the day though ;)
[23:24] <ZykoticK9> Poindexter_, i certainly never said it wasn't???
[23:24] <jasl> joostverdoorn: Me too.
[23:24] <Poindexter_> OK.
[23:24] <ZykoticK9> !tab > Poindexter_
[23:25] <Poindexter_> I was just trying to see the difference and if there is any significant reason to choose one over the other.
[23:25] <Guest8650> ZykoticK9, only me
[23:25] <Guest8650> i cant even see long messages on this itouch
[23:25] <jasl> joostverdoorn: If I were perfect I'd be rich!!
[23:25] <Orion164> Anyone know how I can mount  initrd.img in Ubuntu 10.04?
[23:26] <joostverdoorn> jasl: such is life eh? ;p
[23:26] <jasl> joostverdoorn: exactly
[23:27] <jasl> joostverdoorn: Are you up very later or very early?
[23:27] <joostverdoorn> late, i'm guessing
[23:27] <joostverdoorn> jasl: ^
[23:27] <jasl> OK I guessed as much
[23:28] <Dataanti> I have a new problem, when I type "make" for the thing im trying to install, I get http://pastebin.com/FHhyx21P
[23:28] <gnari> Orion164 : use -o loop
[23:29] <tyler> does ubuntu offer a java comaptible browser?
[23:29] <gnari> Orion164: I am curious, why do you want to do this?
[23:29] <jasl> tyler: What do you mean?
[23:30] <ZykoticK9> jasl, tyler is gone
[23:30] <Guest63274> well my chatserver says it requires a java compatible browser
[23:30] <gnari> Orion164, you might have to use correct -t option too
[23:30] <jasl> Hm
[23:30] <bananstol> firefox
[23:30] <jasl> Exactly
[23:31] <Guest63274> firefox aint java compatible
[23:31] <jasl> Funny my firefox works with java
[23:31] <freeekie> mine too
[23:31] <ZykoticK9> Guest63274, you need to install a java plugin icedtea6-plugin or the non-free version
[23:31] <gnari> oh, Orion has left and missed my replies
[23:31] <usr13> Dataanti: sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
[23:31] <Guest63274> okay i will look for a plugin
[23:32] <oraqol> hey guys
[23:32] <ZykoticK9> !java | Guest63274
[23:32] <jasl> ZykoticK9: wonderful
[23:33] <Dataanti> cool thanks :D
[23:33] <usr13> NP
[23:33] <chemicalvamp> My setting changes like mouse acceleration taskbar orientation and size do not remain after reboot. any ideas?
[23:33] <oraqol> i have an hp dv4 laptop, i upgraded to 11.04 over wire but i hate unity so i reformatted and reverted to 10.10, worked fine for a few days, then i did something (not sure what) and now it will boot up to black screen.  Not blank, black, as in no power to lcd.  If i plug in vga monitor it recognizes it.  No amount of jiggling helps.  Eventually after I reboot enough the lcd comes back up.  I doubt its hardware.  Any ideas?
[23:34] <jasl> recovery boot works OK?
[23:35] <oraqol> i cant even get to grub, bios screen wont even load, like i said, no power to lcd whatsoever, completely black, not blank.
[23:36] <jasl> Did you hold down the shift key?
[23:36] <ZykoticK9> oraqol, if your BIOS doesn't show, that sounds like hardware issue
[23:36] <jasl> I agree
[23:37] <KNUBBIG> Hey, I'm trying to start a gnome session over SSH, but I don't know how to start the session once I'm logged in, on the server gnome is installed, and ssh has ever been running fine. Any help?
[23:37] <Guest63274> i found the icedtea java plugin. after i install it it should work correct?
[23:37] <jasl> No bios, nothing to do with Linux
[23:37] <jasl> Guest63274: try it
[23:37] <ZykoticK9> Guest63274, hopefully (you need to restart your browser after install)
[23:38] <Guest63274> okay thanks for the help :)
[23:38] <beli> KNUBBIG: read about X11 forwarding settings for sshd and about setting  export display
[23:38] <oraqol> $^&$&%  Last time i buy hp.  Thanks guys.  :/
[23:38] <ZykoticK9> KNUBBIG, typically you don't start and entire DE from ssh - just start the program you need.
[23:39] <KNUBBIG> beli:  I activated X11 forwarding already, but I'll look for export display, thanks
[23:39] <KNUBBIG> ZykoticK9: okay, thanks
[23:39] <ZykoticK9> KNUBBIG, does "gedit" work?
[23:39] <jasl> Or xterm
[23:39] <androidbruce> could anyone help me get dual monitros going in 11.04?
[23:39] <androidbruce> dual monitors**
[23:40] <ZykoticK9> androidbruce, your graphics card is?
[23:40] <androidbruce> 9500 gt
[23:40] <KNUBBIG> ZykoticK9: no, it throws no error message but does nothing at all
[23:40] <androidbruce> dvi and vga out
[23:40] <androidbruce> ZykoticK9, ^
[23:40] <chemicalvamp> does he just need to make the settings under system settings?
[23:41] <chemicalvamp> My setting changes like mouse acceleration taskbar orientation and size do not remain after reboot. any ideas?
[23:41] <ZykoticK9> androidbruce, sorry i'm not going to google what a 9500GT is (i'm assuming nVIdia).  Someone else can help.
[23:41] <ghufran> hi. can someone please help me install flashplayer in 11.04?
[23:41] <androidbruce> ZykoticK9,  i think i got it
[23:41] <Instinct> is there a way to use a .fon font on Ubuntu?
[23:41] <ghufran> i downloaded the files from adobe and extracted them. but i cant find the plugin files to put them into chrome or firefox
[23:41] <ZykoticK9> KNUBBIG, are you connecting from a linux box?
[23:41] <KNUBBIG> ZykoticK9: yes
[23:42] <usr13> ghufran: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[23:42] <ZykoticK9> KNUBBIG, "grep X /etc/ssh/sshd_config" does forwarding say YES?
[23:42] <Poindexter_> Jasi should I install a web site in apache2 default-site or /var/www  ?
[23:43] <ZykoticK9> usr13, that's not a package.  ghufran
[23:43] <KNUBBIG> ZykoticK9: yes, I've already looked for that :)
[23:43] <ghufran> usr13, will it also put it in all plugins directories? from the instructions i read, it said i'd have to copy the files even then
[23:43] <ZykoticK9> KNUBBIG, sorry - i don't know then.  Good luck.
[23:43] <KNUBBIG> ZykoticK9: np, ty for your help
[23:43] <ZykoticK9> KNUBBIG, if you had to make that change, did you restart sshd?
[23:44] <ghufran> usr13, abobe-flashplugin has no install candidate
[23:44] <ZykoticK9> ghufran, it's not a package, that was going to fail.
[23:44] <chemicalvamp> flashplugin-installer
[23:44] <usr13> ghufran: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtH78waXoZ4
[23:44] <KNUBBIG> ZykoticK9: didn't have to restart, was already set to yes, but I also restarted
[23:45] <ghufran> ZykoticK9, okay - trying flashplugin-installer then
[23:45] <ZykoticK9> KNUBBIG, then I really don't know.  Good luck

[23:46] <chemicalvamp> Does anybody have any idea why my KDE settings arent saving?
[23:46] <Instinct> how do i get a .fon font to work on Ubuntu?
[23:46] <Star_Light> how i can run a socket on php? :p
[23:46] <Star_Light> i have the code
[23:46] <Star_Light> but i have prob with the ports
[23:46] <chemicalvamp> Oops.. Im going to kubuntu ;)
[23:47] <Star_Light> good trip :P

[23:47] <LABcrab> Hello everyone!  The primary Internet connection for me is tethering via an Android.  However, it frequently is very slow, refusing to load websites, or whatnot.  Can someone help me please?
[23:47] <Star_Light> just kidding
[23:47] <usr13> ghufran: Really, all you do is unpack the file and place it in .mozilla i.e.  mv libflashplayer.so .mozilla
[23:47] <tofufish> does PREROUTING in iptables change the originating IP?
[23:48] <chemicalvamp> i wondered for a sec why nobody was answering my question about KDE until i remembered all you folks use gnome
[23:48] <LABcrab> The ping is AWFUL.  It's like way over 500 ms!
[23:48] <ghufran> usr13, i'm trying to do this with chrome first.. cant even seem to find where that thing is installed
[23:48] <usr13> ghufran: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[23:48] <bastidrazor> chemicalvamp: gnome ftw! o\
[23:49] <ghufran> which chrome returns nothing. which chromium-browser returns nothing. theres nothing in /usr/lib, /usr/lib64,.. anywhere
[23:49] <usr13> ghufran: simply place the file in the plugins directory
[23:49] <ZykoticK9> ghufran, if you install the flash package, both chrome and firefox should have working flash (without any manual copying)
[23:49] <ohaidar> check this out, firefox users
[23:49] <ohaidar> http://www.christopherwoodall.com/crashfox/index2.html
[23:49] <usr13> ghufran:  mv libflashplayer.so .mozilla/plugins/
[23:50] <ghufran> ZykoticK9, okay, trying it out now. its downloading .. my internet is slow
[23:50] <usr13> (I left out /plugins/ on the first one.
[23:50] <Riberty> what is the difference between gnome3 opensuse and fedora?
[23:51] <ZykoticK9> ohaidar, with the no-script plugin it didn't crash - but don't post that stuff here.
[23:51] <ohaidar> ZykoticK9, not a crash
[23:51] <ohaidar> just the name of my program
[23:51] <ZykoticK9> ohaidar, once i enabled scripts on that page, firefox crashed
[23:51] <ohaidar> just dont visit the main index
[23:51] <ohaidar> no it didnt
[23:51] <ohaidar> give it a few seconds
[23:51] <bananstol> ubuntu doesn't detect my wireless network card, any way to fix this?
[23:52] <bananstol> seems to be an agere card
[23:52] <ohaidar> bananstol, what card?
[23:52] <ZykoticK9> bananstol, what is your wireless card?  "lspci | grep -i net" should show specifically.
[23:52] <ohaidar> ZykoticK9, did it come back up?
[23:53] <ZykoticK9> ohaidar, ya - i'd assumed that was a recover from crash - but i'm guessing i assumed wrong
[23:53] <ohaidar> I think it has to do with GTK
[23:53] <ohaidar> resizing the broswers >65555 pixels
[23:53] <ohaidar> or OS-widgets
[23:53] <ohaidar> doesnt work in chrome
[23:55] <bananstol> i can't find | right now, keyboard setup thingie :P but it's agere systems device
[23:56] <ZykoticK9> bananstol, run that command in a terminal
[23:56] <ZykoticK9> bananstol, can you copy/paste perhaps?
